couple: Patri Guijarro x Claudia Pina x fem reader

Au! Omegaverse, alpha x alpha x omega

Author's note: Hi! Thanks for the request. I tried to make a Blurb, but the idea grew so much that I decided to make it a story.

I hope you like it! And thanks for reading and sending your requests.

You'd been dating Patri and Claudia for four years now. Both alphas had won your heart with their lively and free personalities, always looking out for you and keeping you happy no matter what others said to upset them.

They had met through a mutual friend, Cata Coll, your cousin.

You had been invited to the celebration of their first Champions League win, and you were happy to attend. At the time, you were just ending a relationship that had failed in the worst possible way, not only because he was unfaithful to you, but because he had apparently lied about many things in his life.

That day, you had finally decided to go out to a party, and what better way to go than with your closest cousin, the one who had been more like a sister and best friend, supporting you through everything no matter what. Upon arrival, you were welcomed by her, along with some friends you'd heard about and her family, so it wasn't all that awkward. You felt at ease even though there were more than 150 people in the room.

"Cari, come here, let me introduce you to the girls." Cata took your arm and carefully led you to the group of girls with her. "This is Jana," she said, pointing to a brunette with a big smile and a slightly shy appearance. "She's the same age as you, she was born the same year, so I know you'll get along. You're very similar." You extended your hand towards the shorter girl, a small, friendly smile forming on your lips. "Nice to meet you, Jana. Cata has told me a lot about you… I almost think you're her favorite." You laughed softly as you finished speaking, watching as the girl turned to Cata with a smug smile on her lips. "I already knew it, but I just got it confirmed. Thanks, Y/N," she spoke, turning to you at the end.

"Yes, yes, well, she's one of the youngest omegas in the pack. Now, here come the two troublemaking twins-"

"Hey, you're also one of the messiest and most troublesome, Catalina."

You laughed as you heard them point at your familiar. It was really funny how Cata was always the one in charge of the mess.

"Yes, well, these two here are Patri," she pointed at the tall girl with darker hair, who quickly extended her hand toward you. "I didn't know the famous cousin was going to be so pretty. Nice to meet you." You took her hand as a small blush appeared on your face. "Nice to meet you, Patri."

"Stop flirting with her, Patri. Otherwise, I'll have to break your ass." A slightly annoyed tone came from Cata's voice. You had grown up together, and after the last heartbreak, Cata had started to become more possessive of you, afraid that you would suffer another heartbreak that would leave you emotionally damaged.

"And the other flea next to Patri is Claudia, or Pina as we all call her." You looked at Patri's side, still maintaining a cordial smile and a small blush. You met a bluish, almost light blue gaze, which you thought was due to the lighting. "Nice to meet you, girl. If Patri bothers you, let me know. She gets a little weird when there are omegas around who aren't from the pack." You saw how when she smiled, her cute little dimples formed, which made her look very sweet.

After that little introduction to her friends, the night passed as quickly as lightning. There were many glasses of alcohol, shouting, karaoke, posing, and photos with the glass.

It wasn't until the next day that you realized everything that had happened, when you woke up in a bed that wasn't yours, in a room that didn't belong to you, surrounded by a scent that definitely wasn't yours. When you were able to regain consciousness, you began to look around: small pieces of paper stuck to the walls, an open closet dazzling with Barcelona jerseys from past seasons.

It wasn't until you turned to the other side that you saw it. The newly met Patri and Pina were lying in the same bed as you. Naked.

As soon as you noticed that detail, you couldn't help but take in the details of their bodies, the small tattoos that ran down their arms, and then panicked a little and discovered that you were naked too.

You had the idea of ​​getting up and leaving, but as soon as you tried to sit down, you felt a pain run from your calves to your lower back. You had definitely fucked them, and how they had left you like that, a wreck.

You moved again, trying to get up to go to the bathroom, failing in the process.

"I should feel triumphant seeing how you can barely move after I fucked you, but it makes me feel tender to see you like this," you heard a voice behind you, sending a shiver down your spine. "It's not funny or sweet when you can't get up to pee." Without realizing it, you pouted as you scanned the room, looking for your clothes.

You heard and felt movements in the bed behind you while you were still searching and trying to remember where your clothes had been thrown the night before, or rather, a few hours ago.

"Come here, Chiqui, I'll help you," Patri said, almost in a tender whisper as she slipped her arms under your armpits.

You were speechless at the sight of Patri's naked body in front of you.

"I… can you get dressed? It's not that I'm uncomfortable, not at all. I think you have a great body since you're an athlete and it's obvious you work it out pretty well, but… God, yes, could you at least put on some underwear?" you began to ramble while looking anywhere but at Patri's face, or failing that, at her body. "Or you can help me and hand me my clothes…" This came out in a lower tone of voice than you intended, feeling your face burn as you heard her laugh. "Sure, Chiqui, wait here, okay?" She replied before placing a kiss on your head as she began searching for underwear for herself, for you, and for the girl who was still passed out in bed behind you.

A few minutes later, she approached you, already wearing her underwear and holding some clothes. "I brought underwear and clothes in case you want to take a shower. We were going to clean you up yesterday, but-"

Hearing her words, you quickly reached out and took the clothes she was offering you. "Thanks, Patri. I don't think it's necessary to finish that sentence." You saw a mocking smile form on her lips as you began to wrap yourself more tightly around the sheet that was draped over your shoulders. "Ready? I'll take you to the bathroom. If you need anything, just yell my name. It's not like you didn't do it a few hours ago."

You swallowed and felt your breath catch in your throat as embarrassment grew in your chest. "Thank you," you murmured as you ducked your head, feeling quite shy under her gaze.

After that interaction and the conversation the three of them had after Pina woke up and became more conscious, the three of them began seeing each other more often.

And about eight months later, the three of them began a beautiful and healthy relationship. The person most worried was your cousin, but after talking to her about it, her anger toward your girlfriends subsided.

About three years had passed since then. They had gotten to know each other in every possible way; words weren't necessary. When they looked into your eyes, they knew what you needed, what you didn't want, when you were uncomfortable, when you didn't like something, or when you wanted to leave.

They knew everything, except when you were going into heat, which was rare for them to be, but you always knew when they were about to start their heat.

You started giving clues in the morning, when Patri went out to get some breakfast and you sat on Pina's lap, being more clingy than usual.

"Aw chiqui, do you want me to cuddle you, love?" Pina was always softer, always looking for you to pet you or just cuddle you. You could say Pina was a soft alpha, and you loved it. You were both polar opposites; while Patri was more possessive, strong, and always had the need to emphasize that she was your alpha, Pina was less possessive, more tender, always trying to make you feel comfortable everywhere.

You hid your face in Pina's neck, feeling her scent slowly envelop you as you moaned, "I need you, love, please." Your hips began to rock on your girlfriend's cock as you sought release from the heat that was beginning to suffocate you. Pina, on the other hand, thought you were still like this because the night before, you were only able to engage in foreplay before the girls showed up at the apartment.

You grabbed Pina's hands and brought them to your ass, where she firmly positioned herself to help you grind yourself further against her. "You like it like this, baby?" You felt her lips on your neck and shoulder, followed by small bites. "Yes, I love it, Clau." Your voice sounded muffled as you hid back in her neck, biting to muffle your moans.

As soon as you felt yourself getting close, you moved your hands to the shorts your alpha was wearing so you could pull them down. When her cock emerged, you stroked it for a few seconds, only to feel it in your hand as your hips continued to rock against Pina's thigh.

When you felt it was time, you moved your hand to your crotch to pull it aside so you could take Pina's cock inside you.

"Let me help you, baby, okay?" She leaned down and placed a soft kiss on your cheek, still not understanding why you were so needy. She moved a hand to your crotch, leaving small caresses before taking her cock and aligning it with your entrance. As soon as she saw you were comfortable and ready, she lifted her hips so she could sink slowly inside you without wanting to hurt you.

You, on the other hand, as soon as you felt Pina beginning to sink into you, began to ride her, not even bothering to wait for your walls to adjust to your girlfriend's big cock. You looked down at your surroundings, seeing Pina's head now resting on the back of the sofa while the veins in her neck began to pop out, perhaps in an effort not to cum inside you so quickly. You leaned down until you were close to her ear, first placing kisses and nibbles on her neck, listening to her increasingly frequent moans. Your hand first went to her neck, where you squeezed lightly, and then moved down to her chest, playing with her nipples, still through her clothes.

"God, Clau, please, I want you to cum inside me… to fill me so I can have your puppies," you whispered into her ear, leaving a small bite on her earlobe. Pina's hands moved to your waist, where they squeezed firmly so she could penetrate you harder and faster.

"Please, let me feel you fill me up, alpha, please," you began to beg. You knew what they were like when you acted like a complete slut. Something they loved was when you called them your alphas. It made their egos grow and made them fuck you so much better.

Pina lifted you off her lap. You moaned and complained as you felt the emptiness in your pussy. "Be a good slut and get on your knees on the couch. Show me that nice ass of yours." She turned you around and gave you a little push on the shoulder. You pulled your knees up onto the couch and let your chest fall onto the backrest, feeling your alpha's hands run over your ass and spank you.

"So obedient to take a cock in your tight pussy," you were going to reply, but the words got stuck in your throat as you felt Pina eagerly enter you again.

A few minutes later, you began to become a bundle of moans, begging her to please let you cum.

"Please, alpha, let me do it… I need you to do it inside me."

"You're a slut, you want to cum on your alpha's cock and then fill you with my cum."

No coherent words or phrases came out of your mouth anymore; both alphas loved seeing you like this, all destroyed in front of them.

A few minutes later, Pina started to get rougher, and that only meant one thing. She was about to reach her orgasm.

"Do it, little slut, cum for your alpha." Hearing her words, you began to feel that familiar tug in your belly begin to form, faster and faster. Her hand tightened on your neck, while she held your hips firmly. Your pussy squeezed her as the orgasm began to leave its small shocks in your body. You felt your heartbeat in your ears, your toes began to twitch, as did your pussy. You couldn't hold it back any longer before your orgasm hit you hard.

Pina followed you seconds later, cumming inside you, filling you with her cum.

She waited a few seconds before pulling out her cock and rubbing it against your ass. "Look at you so pretty, covered in my cum."

You were about to respond when you both heard the door open.

Patri walked in with a bag in one hand and some coffee in the other, looking quite proud of her purchase, until she saw you both on the couch.

"Seriously, you can't wait for me to get here?" She walked to the kitchen to drop off the food and coffee to wash her hands, then returned to where you and Pina were still. "Come on, Cari. I know you must have been being a slut for Pina. Now be a slut for me." She brought two of her fingers to your mouth so you could start sucking them with the same enthusiasm you would have sucked her cock.

"Keep fucking her, Pina. For today, I'll let you use her pussy more." A boastful smile spread across her face. "I think I can settle for her pretty mouth."

As soon as you heard her words, you let out a moan, followed by a gasp as you felt Pina's cock stretch you again as she fucked you again. You rocked back and forth, your tits slamming into the couch, feeling yourself getting wetter and wetter as you watched Patri's erection grow in front of your face. She reached with her free hand to the belt she was using and quickly undid it along with her pants, sliding them down to her knees, leaving her boxers in place.

"You like watching my cock get hard in your face, don't you, little slut?" She slapped your cheek lightly as her fingers continued to thrust deep into your mouth, making you gag and make your eyes fill with tears of pleasure.

They stayed like that for a few minutes. Pina fucked you without a steady rhythm, driving you crazy. Patri continued fucking your mouth with her fingers while stroking her cock in front of your face with her free hand.

Finally, after minutes that felt like an eternity, Patri pulled her fingers out of your mouth as she pulled down her boxers. "You're so desperate for us to ruin you." She stroked her cock for a few seconds, then lightly slapped your cheeks. "Take it all like the whore you are." Without waiting for a response, she stuck her cock in your mouth, beginning a back-and-forth motion with her hips.

As soon as Pina saw that Patri had started to move, she found her rhythm and began fucking you harder, making it impossible for you to moan with Patri's cock filling your mouth.

Pina played with you, leaving small bumps on your ass and then pulling her entire cock out of your pussy. She left you like that for a few seconds, then penetrated you again, all the way to the bottom. In the midst of the cloud of pleasure, you lowered a hand to your clit, making small circular movements over it. When Pina noticed, she continued to move. "Patri, could you hand me your belt? It seems this little whore can't stay still."

Patri stopped moving to listen to what Pina had said and then pulled her cock out of your mouth so she could bend down to find her belt and hand it to her girlfriend, who delightedly accepted it, bringing your hands behind your back and tying them there so you couldn't touch anything.

With that obstacle out of the way, Patri could now fuck your mouth better, and Pina would continue to take you to her pleasure. You felt tears falling down your cheeks, soaking your face and part of the sofa.

"Look how our omega cries with pleasure, you take us so well."

You felt your orgasm growing stronger and stronger, unsure how much longer you could hold out all the pleasure coursing through your body. Although they both knew you were close, they stopped teasing you and focused more on your orgasm.

Patri pulled out of your mouth again after filling it with his cum. She bent down to take a condom out of her purse, extending it to Pina. "My turn, go do something else." She stood beside her, watching your thighs drip with your cum, while Pina's cock was still hard.

Patri sat down next to you and made you sit on her lap so she could bury her cock inside you. Pina waited patiently until you were in a comfortable position and aligned herself with your ass, ready to take you there now.

They both filled you, but they preferred to have uneven rhythms, as one entered the other withdrew, so as not to leave you empty at any moment.

All you could do was moan their names. You were in a daze, no coherent thoughts in your head. All you could think about was how well your alphas were fucking you.

"God, baby, you're so tight for us," Patri spoke as she massaged your tits and left bites on your neck. Pina, on the other hand, moaned behind you as she continued fucking you, sometimes leaving marks on your back.

"Are you close? I know you want to cum on our cocks, like the slut you are," Pina whispered in your ear, as she left more blows on your ass. By now, your ass was already red from all the spanking Pina had given you.

"Please, I'm close," you moaned into the air, hoping they'd give you permission to cum.

"Ask for it properly, whore, otherwise we won't let you cum."

Your breathing was getting shallower as you felt like you were about to fall into the abyss of pleasure. "Please, my alphas." A moan escaped from the back of your throat, making it impossible for you to speak. It took you a few minutes to recover before you could speak again. "I need to cum, please. I'll be a good whore for you, my alphas."

Both alphas looked at each other smugly as they saw how close you were to collapsing. "Sure, baby… but after Pina cums in your ass."

If you were happy because they'd given you permission to cum, now you felt desperate to be able to free yourself.

It was a long few minutes, they felt like hours, until you finally felt Pina slow down a bit and squeeze your waist tighter, leaving marks.

As soon as Pina informed Patri that she had cum, she spoke again. "Come on Chiqui, cum on my cock." With that affirmation, you quickly got into the rhythm and began fucking yourself with her cock, seeking your release, which wasn't so far away.

After the three of you finished, you were more fucked than them, leaning against the crook of Patri's neck while Pina went to get something to clean you up. Having already untied your hands, leaving them free, she said, "Are you like this because you're going into heat?"

You snorted in place as you bit her neck again. "Thanks for noticing, Patri." She sighed, in return. "It's hard to know when you're about to go into heat… Pina and I have never found your scent stronger… sorry, baby." She placed a kiss on your head while slowly caressing your back.

That was all the post-sex care you needed, even though you were missing your other girlfriend.

The three of you ended up cuddled on the couch, enjoying each other's company.

"I'll call Pere to tell him we won't be going to training; we'll stay and take care of you, Cari."

You just moaned in response, almost asleep, feeling her scent lull you.

Here's Patri and Pina's story. Already working on the others, let me know what else you'd like to read from me. My inbox is open! bon dia, bona tarda, bona nit. -Onaswife

Chef Gavi | Pablo Gavi

summary :: Where you and Pablo record a video for YouTube making a chocolate cake.

warnings :: none...!

word count :: 0.790k

Your YouTube channel was growing rapidly, and interacting with your fans was one of your favorite things. Recently, a specific request had been popping up in the comments: “Do a cooking video with Gavi!” or “Gavi in the kitchen, please, we want to see you two together!” You loved the idea, but your excitement really kicked in when your boyfriend himself asked to join one of your videos.

— So, love, when are we making that chocolate cake? — he asked, a mischievous smile on his face as you both sat on the couch.

— Do you really want to join? Because I don’t want anyone complaining if you mess everything up. — you teased.

— Me? Mess up? You’ll see, I’m going to be the star chef of this video! — he replied confidently.

It was a sunny afternoon, and you’d carefully set up the kitchen for the shoot. Gavi walked into the room wearing an apron that read "Chef Gavi" and one of those iconic chef hats. Just looking at him, you couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

— What’s so funny? I’m in character! — he said, striking a dramatic pose.

— Alright, Chef Gavi. Let’s see if your talents go beyond the football field.

You adjusted the camera and began the video introduction:

— Hi, everyone! Today, we have a very special guest, someone many of you might know — You glanced at Gavi, who pretended to be distracted. — He’s amazing on the football field, but can he handle the kitchen? Let’s find out!

You both decided to make a simple chocolate cake, but things didn’t go quite as planned. While you explained the ingredients, Gavi decided to take matters into his own hands.

— Love, why are you cracking the egg like that? It’s going to spill everywhere! — you warned, already predicting the disaster.

— I saw a chef do it like this; it looks more professional. — And, of course, he ended up cracking an egg on the counter.

You tried to stifle your laughter as you cleaned up the mess. — Congratulations, Chef Gavi. First attempt, and we’re already in cleanup mode.

Next came the sugar. Distracted, Gavi poured almost twice the amount needed.

— Pablo! What are you doing? This is going to turn into a sugar brick!

— What? You said a full cup. Isn’t this full? — he asked, holding up a giant mug.

— Sweetheart, there’s a difference between a cup and a mug, just so you know.

— Well, you didn’t tell me that. — he shot back, heading to the cabinet to look for a proper measuring cup. — Is this it?

He held up a small white cup, and you nodded. With a proud grin, he returned to the counter.

When it was time to mix the batter, Gavi insisted on using the electric mixer, even though you explained the batter was light enough to do by hand. The real issue came when he forgot to turn off the mixer before lifting it out of the bowl. Chocolate splattered everywhere: on the counter, the camera, his apron… and even on your face.

— Look at what you’ve done! — you exclaimed, laughing as you tried to wipe your face. —Don’t forget to turn it off next time!

He looked at you with a sheepish smile. —Everything’s under control, Chef! Just trust me.

Despite all the mishaps, the batter finally made it into the oven. You and Gavi even had fun drawing little chocolate swirls on the top before baking it. While waiting, Gavi turned to you with a smug grin.

— See? I told you it would work out. It was just a little mess along the way.

— A little mess? This counter looks like a battlefield! — you replied, pointing to the chaos around you.

When the timer went off, you both pulled out a perfectly baked cake. Decorating the cake was a team effort, with Gavi spreading the frosting while you added sprinkles and other toppings.

— And here it is, everyone: the chocolate cake by Chef Gavi and Chef [Your Name]! — you said to the camera.

After wrapping up the recording, you both sat at the table to taste the cake. Gavi cut a slice and offered it to you, pretending to be overly fancy.

— I’ll admit, it’s good. But I think most of the effort was mine. — he joked.

— Sure, sure. Next time, we’ll see if you can do it on your own, Chef Gavi.

You both laughed, and the video ended up becoming one of the most-watched on your channel, with fans loving every moment of the chaos and your undeniable chemistry.

I have a funny little one for TFA so we all know how bumblebee is like the smallest bot compared to everyone right so what if he had a conjux or crush that was smaller than him like he teases them and stuff but still loves affection to them (if you make them femme that be great if not gn is good too 👍)

That’s so cute I’ll definitely give it a try. And the reason I do GN is because I want all different genders to enjoy my work. Male, Nonbinary, and Female lol.

Introduction Movies/Series Oneshot Masterlist

TW/Tags: Just Bee being best boi.

Bee has been a part of Team Prime for a pretty good while. He joined because he wished to stick with his pal Bulkhead. And his lovely Conjunx. A small but well built and pretty strong he was able to get to become his Conjunx by pure luck, at least that’s what he yelled himself. Joins them as well.

Someone he just asked out one day at the academy and ever since then. You both never separated. Even despite many other short bots like wasp and the twins who tried to court you.

Good thing too. Going with Bee is the best choice you could’ve ever made. He always made you smile and brought you cheer even when you were supposed to be mad at him. You always stood up for him and comforted him. He always made sure to be affectionate with you. Like holding you and giving you forhelm kisses. The only times he’d not care about how he looked and how others saw him.

You know it’s to show he truly loves you for who you are. As you show how you love him for who he is. You two are basically the ideal couple in the team. Ratchet even saying that only once. Bringing Bee and Ratchet a little closer. Making both you and Optimus happy.

It’s been a good while since you all started living on the planet earth with Sari. Sari always liked hanging out with you since you were the smallest.

Often at times when you and Bee would be sitting on the couch watching TV Sari would walk in and sit on your lap almost like a little child. Sometimes Bee didn’t mind. But if he was feeling a bit “frisky” that moment or day. yeah he’d get annoyed but say nothing.

Your bond always comforting him even when you guys weren’t in battle. Every time there was a close call you guys always stayed close together. You even dressed up as Bee bride for Halloween when he went as a vampire.

Bee is always affectionate with you. And as you are with him. Deposited your size.

The others always treated you as a comrade as if the size difference wasn’t there every day. Despite not having a gender like the mechs. You do at times play at the role of a mother. Something Sari told you, bee and bulkhead about when she came to visit you all. Sari even said that you treat her like your own.

Even at night Bee would try to talk to you about it. Saying if you’re like the mother then he’s the cool uncle. You corrected him since you listened to what sari said about how family works. He’d be the dad.

At least second to Optimus Prime..This would make him a bit sad. Not happy with his not so smart moment.

You’d then comfort him the way you always do. Gently holding him by his cheeks and showering his face with kisses. Smothering him as he chuckled and his cervos gently holding your waist.

”Thanks Sweetspark. You always know how to take care of me.” He chuckled once more. “What would I do without you?”

”Mmm..probably fighting a decepticon.” You teased and this made you ad him laugh before you both looked at each other's optics. And then both of your dermas connect as you both close your optics.

You always and will till the day your spark runs out. Love moments like this with your Conjunx. Although many will always ask you, even repeating it. As you why you stay with him. You can always answer with a bright smile on your dermas. as your optics only show joy and warmth.

”He makes me smile.”

I really had fun making this for Bumblebee. He’s so cute and I tried my best to add as much as I can for him without much of a scenario. Mostly just his relationship with the reader and the femme part gave me an idea. Maybe I’ll do another part with this Oneshot but I’ll need a scenario for the two so I can get a better story out to write so please lay out the ideas. I’m sure I can make a lot of fun ideas with the family dynamic with Sari, Bee, and reader! I hope you all have a good rest of the day and enjoy the next posts as they come!

No feelings involved...right?

Prologue and Part 1

Warnings❗: Implied baby trapping, dubious consent. It all happens at the end.

If their current predicament could be resumed in one sentence, it'll sound like a mother's voice saying "I told you so".

They didn't plan it. It all started with a small mishap, a consequence of their exhaustion and the amount of issues going on in their personal lives. Then the mishap repeated itself, and then they decided to turn it into a game for their own pleasure, no strings attached to her. Then the game grew beyond their control and became a mountain of lies, too big to seize them.

Jisung first met her through a friend of his, and although he found her beautiful then, she didn't catch his attention beyond that. They met frecuently, since they both ran in the same circle of friends, and after one night being left alone by their drunk friends, they spent the time talking and turned out they had more in common that he thought. They clicked, in a way it's hard to explain, but just felt like he knew her since forever. They went from mere acquaintances to suddenly having her name appear at the top of his contact list along with Minho's.

Minho met her through his boyfriend, of course. He first saw her when Jisung brought her home to hang out, without even warning him about it. Their introduction was pretty formal, quick. They shook hands, made some small talk and Jisung inmediatly stole her attention again. Minho wasn't interested in befriending her and viceversa, but Jisung was their common point and she eventually became a regular presence in their apartment, so they really had no option but get along. Forced proximity and all.

Jisung has always known a lot of people, plenty of familiar faces that tend to flock towards him wherever he goes, but few of them can say they truly know him. Jisung cracks jokes, plays long with them, but rarely speaks about himself. He keeps a careful, calculated distance, because he knows that despite all those smiles and compliments, they only see the surface, what they want to see, and don't care about the rest. Which it's okay, it comes with the job, and this facade actually helps to keep undesirable people away without being rude. But she...she's different. From the moment she spoke to him and he listened, he found there was more to her than what she showed. Like him, she never allowed people to see beyond the surface, simply letting them believe the version they liked to spare herself the headaches. She understood him. And for the first time in years, Jisung felt a genuine connection to someone besides Minho.

The funny thing is that they don't talk that much, outside those events where the whole group meets and they stick together to not get bored. And when they get to talk, it's mostly about stuff only they know and deep, phylosophical converstations where they discuss the meanings of life. Maybe, if he's in a certain mood, he complains about a recent argument with Minho and asks for advice, but that's not the norm with them. When he brings her home is to get drunk over petty drama and gossip, without the others. They just fall back in the comfortability of a quiet friendship where no small talks were needed and they could simply let go of their masks.

Things between Minho and her weren't ideal at first. The few times they interacted was when she was at their flat, usually drunk and leaving a mess, and he got mad at it. He could look past it when it was Jisung, but having a stranger doing it was something else. He made sure of letting her know after the drunk haze, barely holding back the bite in his words. He expected her to get offended or feel embarrassed, but no. She never showed an ounce of shame, instead replying him with the same snarky tones, and sometimes that small lopsided grin of hers that made his blood boil. But what started as mostly petty arguments and cold greetings turned into a sense of complicity when they realized their humour was similar and they both acted like Jisung's babysitters more often than not.

Minho is used to be misunderstood. His resting bitch face, his brutal honesty, his reserved demeanour and that perpetual indifference in his face that rarely expressed emotions. People were quick to form opinions about him and not all were good. He was considered cold, arrogant, a snob that didn't like to mingle with those he saw "beneath him", you get it. Most wondered how someone so sweet and cheerful as Jisung could fall for him. It's okay for Minho, he doesn't see the point in caring for what strangers may think. The people he loves know him for who he is and that's enough. Then she came, all carefree and playful and open-minded. Jisung only spoke good things about her, but Minho knew his boy could be biased. Until they started talking and he found out she was truly different. She wasn't intimidated by him, even though he pulled the worst of him sometimes with her around, but she never reacted on it. She was quick to stand up against him, all prideful and confident. And her lack of respect felt like a wheeze of fresh air. After being constantly misjudged, it felt nice to have someone apart from Jisung that made an effort to see through his facade.

Before they noticed it, she became a constant in their lives. Even if they didn't meet often, even if the phone calls sometimes got short, she was present and they felt it. Whenever they needed a favour, she was the safest option. When something juicy happened, she was the first person they called. Even when their fights got brutal and they had no one to seek advice from, her door appeared in front of their eyes.

She never turned down, although her complaints were very much heard. She acted as a bridge between them both when they refused to take the initiative, pushing them to apologise and communicate their problems and feelings. Minho was stubborn, but Jisung could easily win him at times, and persuade them to move past it was a pain. Nevertheless, she did it every single time, to the point the walls of her house and the natural scent that filled it became so familiar to them.

They genuinely don't know when things started to change. They talked it before and both agreed she was beautiful, easy to the eyes, but nothing more. Sure, she was a vital part of their lives now but that's all they wanted her to be. At least that's what they told themselves until that night behind that club, when they tasted her for the first time and found the missing piece they had been bothering them for so long. That annoying empty space in their sex life that have appeared coincidentally shortly after meeting her..

Of course, things couldn't be the same after that mindblowing experience, not like they wanted it to either. They planned the whole affair while she slept in their arms, dead to the world. It was easy to convince her, with her body still vibrating by the last events and her mind still waking up. Granted that wasn't exactly correct from their parts, but they were slightly desperate and the idea of letting her go after that sounded awfully wrong.

And so that was the start of their downfall.

Looking back, they asked for it. At first it was all very natural. They were still friends but now they also fucked sometimes. She was open to every kink and preference of theirs, and she also introduced them to her own tastes. No commitment, no explanations expected or needed. But when their encounters became more often it got harder to stay away from her, they had her sign an NDA to continue. Which was..okay, not something they accounted for but it wasn't necessarily a problem.

No, the problems started when their feelings began to get in the way of the commitment-free arrangement they wanted.

Their doll was a gorgeous creature, a delightful sight for sore eyes, and they knew it. She was like this when they met her and they had no problem with it, Jisung even admired it and made jokes about it, about how ridiculous easy those idiots fell for her charms, scrambling on their feet to get an ounce of her attention. But at some point, seeing such scenes evoked less amusement and more disgust. And following disgust, there was something else. Something twisted and painful and deadly that climbed to their throats when another worthless scum tried his luck with her. Minho could heard this tempting voice in his head telling him to rip their guts out and Jisung imagined a number of creative scenarios where he taught that bastard a lesson.

Sometimes, those voices told them to grab their precious doll and drag her away from those dirty hands, keep her near where they couldn't lose her, which was weird because she meant nothing to them. Just a close acquaintance they casually fucked from time to time very often. And yet...

These sudden, strange emotions were translated in their bed.

The sex with her was always rough and fast, and the only aftercare that ocurred was sharing a smoke in bed over some small talk. But suddenly, it wasn't enough. Their usual routine felt short, uncomplete, unsatisfying. The mouths started to trace her face, her body, the marks they left on her. Their movements turned slower, more gentle, more precise. They wanted to see how it was when she burst in pleasure, when she gave herself up entirely in their arms. They kissed, caressed, worshipped the entirety of her skin, and they whispered words of praise in her ears for the duration of it. And when it was done, they needed wanted her close, lulling her into sleep as their arms trapped her against them.

"You're doing so, so well, doll. Can you give us one more, please? You look lovely like this."

"Look at you, already crying and shaking. Shh, it's okay, love, we got you. Leave it to us, okay'"

But when they couldn't stand that twisted feeling in their guts, after seeing some other clown trying to steal her away, both men turned animalistic on her. They were all confused at this change, and the two of them couldn't explain where did it came from. They just felt the urgent need to cover her in bites, scratches and hickeys, in every place where those undeserving eyes feasted upon. ¿How dare those assholes? ¿Didn't they know she was with them? ¿Had they no shame? ¿Did they really think they stood a chance?

"That's it, keep looking at us, slut. That's where your eyes should always be. ¿What the fuck were you thinking, uh?"

"¿You wanted him to fuck you too? Is that it? You greedy whore. Clearly we need to fuck you more. We'll make sure you can't even talk or walk without our help."

And it didn't end just there. They started to bring her to their dates, inviting her everywhere they went, giving her their clothes. They had love-hate feelings towards her revealing dresses, because as much as they enjoyed the view, they hated seeing others do the same. She became part of their routine, outside the sex part. She was always there. And as time passed, it felt like she had been there since the beginning. They hardly remembered how things were before she came.

But they kept lying to themselves, lying to everyone. This wasn't anything. They could stop whenever they wanted to. There no other feelings involved. Of course not.

And things finally went downhill when someone asked them:

"So, that girl that's always with you two, what's the deal with her? Is there something serious going on? Because you have to introduce her to us, then."

That question struck them. Brutally.

They never thought too much about it. Things with her just...happened naturally, and they barely noticed it. They simply followed their instincts at the time, not realizing the weight those actions could hold. ¿What was the deal with her, truly? Granted, she was more than just a quick fuck, but still. And what was up with them? Why the fuck did they want to meet her? She was perfectly fine where she was.

At the end of the day, the three of them moved in different worlds. There were things about themselves they couldn't tell her, things she would never understand. Maybe that was better, they thought. To keep her away from that circus of drama and lies and dirty secrets they were part of. She didn't belong there. And to keep her far away from idiots butting their noses where they shouldn't.

So they quickly defused the situation. She was just an acquaintance, they didn't really know her, yeah. They already had each other, it had always been just each other. She meant nothing.

If she did, where did that leave them?

¿Were they supposed to know someone was going to post their answer on social media? Were they supposed to know she would see it and demand explanations too?

Yes

They never saw her so angry, so emotional. She was bursting in anger and sadness and dissapointment, and they could both feel how their hearts stopped at the sight. It didn't feel right.

When she started to speak, they sort of panicked. They couldn't control the situation this time, they couldn't control her, and they didn't have proper answers for it. At least, not the kind of answers that would help them.

Most of all, they were confused. As she confronted them with facts, about how their strange behaviour with her and their motivations, they were forced to acknowledge the reality of everything.

That she meant more than they thought. Way more than they wanted her to. It was a liability. A problem. An unexpected turn of events they weren't prepared for.

And because they weren't prepared, they simply said the words that sounded logical at the moment. Cold statements of what they all knew, of what they agreed on the beginning. They didn't truly mean it, as they would realize later, but they felt cornered. And at the moment, the only strenght they could rely on was their pride.

They foolishly thought she would stay after that. That she would see their point of view and calm down.

As expected, she didn't. When it fell on them the terrible error they made, it was late. She left the place. Emptied it of whatever part of her and blocked them from her life.

And as expected, the aftermath was fucking disastrous.

Being deprived so suddenly from her presence after getting used to have her near everyday was hellish. No more calls, no more dates, no more lazy afternoons in the couch. She was gone, leaving a gaping hole in their lives that they couldn't fill, no matter how much they tried. And god knows they did.

No vice or person could replace the feelings she invoked in them.

They turned down invitations, calls of friends, choosing to stay at home and just hang out by themselves. Staying at home too long drove them insane, but going out wasn't much better. She was everywhere. In the streets, in the shops, in the people. It was a nightmare.

When a close friend of theirs invited them to the opening of club, they only accepted in hopes for a distraction, and to keep appareances a bit. But the cold, boring night inmediately acquired a brilliant colour when they saw her.

More beautiful than ever, with her pretty dress and carefully done make-up. Her damned smile brightened the whole club and, for a moment, they felt in peace. Like nothing changed.

Until they saw she wasn't alone. Her warm arms, who used to be held by them, were now occupied by other men. Some they didn't know. A pair of strangers taking their rightful places, and she just laughed and danced with them like it was normal.

They spent the whole night like that, watching her and brooding, with that familiar green boiling in their stomach. She looked gorgeous, out of this world, and it wasn't fucking fair. That should be them. She should have been with them, filling their ears with her cute laugh and letting them wrap their arms over her.

Deep down, they knew they fucked up. It was solely their fault. They had their chance to make her stay, to trap her, and they messed up. ¿Why did things have to be this way? Why did they have to realize the size of their mistake in a moment of jealousy? It was stupid.

When they saw her walking outside alone, they exchanged a glance and they knew it.

They made several mistakes, but they learnt from them. Having her hating them was better than not having her at all, so they followed.

It was so easy to fall back into routine. She was already weakened by their presence, and it was the same for them too. Some yelling here and there, insults being thrown back and forth, a bit of fighting, but they ended up right where they wanted: Locked bathroom, against a wall, and the music covering their moans.

They didn't stop until she was bursting with their cum, pushing it right back inside where a drop ran down her legs. Until there wasn't a single trace of skin unmarked. Until she couldn't fucking walk without their help.

And when few weeks later, she showed up in their apartment with three positive tests, they pretended to be shocked and made her move in with them.

They could already see the picture she would make. It was going to be perfect.

(i had this shit collecting dust in my drafts for a millenia and today i had a strange burst of inspiration to finish it. sorry for the waiting to those who asked for this part)

[how-my-parents-fell-in-love]

Introduction

I opened my eyes painfully, trying to adjust to the brightness. Hmpf, I must have made a mistake, it was impossible for simple time travel to be this painful. I picked myself up off the ground, brushed the dust off my clothes and looked around. There was no denying it, contact lenses weren't the best invention humans had come up with.

When my phone came into view, I grabbed it without thinking, looking at the date, I made a quick calculation in my head, Mom must have been 16 that year, and Dad…yes that was right, the year they met.

Now the question was…where was I? The streets around me looked nothing like what I'd known, was it because of the times?

“See you tomorrow Yuume!”

Yuume?

I turned, and my eyes fell on her.

Olive complexion, so similar to mine, golden hair, small round glasses, blue eyes, there was no doubt, it was her.

Yuume Horacio, the one who had, or rather, would give birth to me in a few years' time.

I couldn't believe it, after so many years, she was standing in front of me.

I took a deep breath, and moved towards the one I'd done all this for.

“Uh..excuse me?”

She raised her head, funny, I never thought she'd be shorter than me…

“Yes..?”

“I.. I'm new here, I'm having a bit of trouble finding my way around. Would you… Would you mind helping me?”

“Oh. Sure.”

Gee, I didn't think she'd accept, I have no idea where to go.

“Since we're going home together, we might as well get to know each other. I'm Yuume Horacio, and you are?”

“I'm Aurelea-”

I stopped short, I couldn't reveal my last name to her, she might associate me with Dad, or associate him with me. I had to come up with something, and fast!

“Aurelea, just Aurelea, I don't have a last name.”

Shame. That was a lousy move. don't worry, you've waited your whole life for this moment, don't miss out by acting like a fool, bof and at worst it won't be the first time. Ugh.

Mom looked at me, a slight frown on her face, before finally shrugging and setting off. On the way, I got to know her, which is strange when you put it like that, but before that, she'd never been there for me. It was always just Dad and me. I know it's not her fault, that she would have liked to have stayed with him, but… I can't help but feel pain, I wanted to live with her.

Lost in my thoughts, I pay no attention to what Mom is saying, and she's obviously too absorbed in what she's saying to see what's happening.

I open my eyes with difficulty, today is not my lucky day to believe.

All around me is a dark room, and I rise from a…coffin? What the…

This outfit is…huh? but it's not possible…

I rubbed my eyes, making sure I could see, bad idea, damn lenses.

I looked around me, this place did look like Night Raven college, well, from what I could see of it.

Blue flames came to my eyes, Grim, I presumed.

The noises around me were blurred, as was my vision, I could make out very little and it was very unpleasant.

“Aurelea, you're here too!”

It was Mom's voice. I squinted and tried to look at her.

“I didn't understand a thing, there's a strange gentleman saying the dragon cat is mine and…”

“C-calm down, breathe..”

“Ah..yes, sorry. HELP ME PLEASE!”

I didn't quite understand, but a few minutes later a man in a mask had led us away, complaining about being late for orientation, or whatever.

Too many people in this room, I had no bearings even though I'm supposed to be in my own world, I really shouldn't have done this, why did I do it, what was I thinking? ah hell… stay calm, there's no need to panic, you've got the situation under control… everything's fine as long as you control yourself!

wait, that boy over there…

Dad.

Oh. Oh shit.

[xxl1ly-1n-ch41n5xx]

I’ve been hesitant, but here’s an introduction of me and my friend’s (@secretlyab1rd) Maze Runner OCs! Our series is called “Starshuck”, which is the title of my book. My friend’s is called “We Heart Hart” (you’ll understand) My other friend (@day-ur-fav-gay) does not have a book, just the OC. This is just a little introduction, like how they act in the prologue/chapter one!

Up first: Melanie!

Melanie is named after Melanie Windridge, who is a British plasma physicist and science communicator, by WICKED. The Gladers call Melanie “Melby”, while Minho calls her “Mellie” (Will be explained), and Valentina calls her “Mel”. She has vitiligo and heterochromia (lots of melanin issues🫣) There’s some art/Sims 4 making at the end! (THEY ARE THEIR AGE IN THE GLADE IN THE ART)

TFC knowledge first!: She and Minho came up in the Box together. (Side note: I know that they came up in a large group, but my book is a mix of both the movie and the book.) Her and Minho were close before they were sent up, and yes, Melanie does cry when Minho is almost killed with a Griever in The Fever Code. Mel was supposed to be one of the Elites, but was way too aggressive and hostile towards the WICKED agents and refused to do as they say, often ending in violence (and punishment). She has a little sister that is four years younger than her, Valentina. She is named after Valentina Tereshkova, the FIRST woman in space. Valentina’s friends (including her sister) call her Val. Val and Mel were stolen from their parents as small children (who were slowly dying of the Flare, which Mel tried to hide from Val desperately, taking care of her like she was her mother). Mel was eight, and Val was four. If you haven’t gotten it yet, Minho is Mel’s love interest. They first meet in the halls, sneaking around the facility. Of course, they’re eight, so they’re best friends after saying that their favorite color is blue. (hehe I love them) Mel of course sneaks off together with the group, dragging a tired (and often sleeping) 6 year old Val with her, as she (and I cannot make this clear enough) does NOT trust WICKED. Mel eventually started to sneak out with Minho alone, just to chat, as she was the only one that agreed with his escape attempts. At one of those, she kissed his cheek, and nine year old Minho blushed so hard. (I had to add that in because AGH) Adding on to the hostility part, Mel tried to get Val away from the surgery, only to be injected with a substance that eased her.

Onto TMR knowledge!: As I mentioned, Mel did come up with Minho in the Box. She woke up panicked and crying, because she thought that Minho was dead. He woke up minutes later, immediately coming to the realization, that in his eyes, she was gorgeous. Minho immediately sticks his hand out without thinking, mentally slapping himself. All he wanted to do was introduce himself, but his body acted against his wishes. She took his hand, smiling. He immediately said how he thought her eyes were pretty in an attempt to reassure her that he’s not trying to hurt her. She didn’t even remember that she had heterochromia, and was bewildered by his comment. Again, Mel is really smart, and knows a lot about random things. She started explaining the literal definition of heterochromia iridium, and he got so confused. As the Box comes up, she introduced herself, and the eight other boys there collectively agreed on calling her Melby, without her input on it. Minho still respected her opinion and continued to call her Melanie, and accidentally slipped up and called her “Mellie”, which stuck. At their bonfire, when everyone leaves, they kiss. Which to Minho, seemed like a stupid decision that he made, but immediately, something sparked. They started sneaking off together, and then they got in trouble for not working. Basically, Alby requested a curtain for the Homestead out of pure annoyance from the two, saying that they need to “keep their relationship private”. Which was pretty funny in their eyes. (Mel has earrings gifted to her by Val in the future if you are confused by the art)

Further (and rather unimportant) information: Minho + Mellie = Millie

Hope you enjoyed Mel; now we move to Hawk.

Hawk is my friend @secretlyab1rd’s OC, named after Stephen Hawking. Originally intended as a pure joke to be able to say if there were two Hawks, it would be Hawk Two-ah. (You can probably understand where we’re going and that we’re super immature ;)) His love interest is Zart, and you have to love the gays. That’s an order, not a request. I don’t think we have any TFC knowledge for him, but he IS canon in my book.

TMR knowledge!: Hawk wakes up in the Box, immediately overwhelmed with everything, with the feeling of nausea. Mel immediately picked up on it but said nothing. He continuously asks the question of “where am I”, and was not getting the answer he wanted. (As would I, because come on, wouldn’t you freak out?) He immediately gets on Mel’s nerves, because Mel was trying her best to answer his question, but he wouldn’t listen to her, and as Mel thought to herself, “If he doesn’t stop asking these stupid questions, and not letting me explain, I’m going to throw him”. He makes a run to go vomit by a tree, and Zart crouches by him, placing a hand on his back and helping him vomit. Hawk then calms down, walking with Newt and Val to the Medhut when he gets water. When Mel learns that his name is Hawk, she immediately spits out that there are over 200 species of them, to which Val says, “stop nerding at the poor guy”. (Later on Hawk tries to bash his skull in with a shovel but Zart shoves him, making it just leave a scar in his chin, that’s why the art is like that btw)

Further (and rather unimportant) information:

Hawk + Zart = Hart

Onto Val! Val is my friend @day-ur-fav-gay’s OC. She is Mel’s sister, named because of the ship name.

TFC Knowledge: Mel’s original name was Lorraine, and Val’s original name was Rose. They were both from an abusive household, and Lorraine treated Rose like she was her own child, even if Lorraine was only eight and Rose was only four when they were taken. Rose complied to the name change, while Lorraine did not. Lorraine acted aggressively towards strangers that tried to interact with her or even make a move to talk to Rose. Repeatedly, she was tortured, like Thomas, until she gave in and accepted her name. Of course, Val didn’t like being dragged around as a toddler by her older sister. She refused to let go of her, even if she was uncomfortable being dragged around. Eventually, WICKED did separate them forcibly, to which Mel was made aggressive. Val hated seeing her sister in a room with an Asian boy (Minho) as Mel desperately screamed for her to not let them do the surgery on her, as they were both given sedatives. Eventually, Val started to sneak around to see her older sister in her room, and Mel would hide her there. When the visits started, Val would often be seen being carried by Mel, passed out on her shoulder. Val was not a very good night owl, and tried to stay awake to talk to Chuck. It never worked, obviously. Mel caught on and started bringing blankets. Eventually, Val stopped seeing Mel as often as she was. She never knew why, but she missed her a lot.

Onto TMR: Val woke up, panicked and scared when there were a bunch of boys surrounding her, especially considering that she looked younger than them. A girl broke through the grasp of another boy, jumping down into the lift that she was in (yes she called it a lift) introducing herself as Melanie, but the “shuckfaces” around here call her Melby. For some reason, Val was drawn away from that name, and she couldn’t understand why. It wasn’t her name, so why would she care? She realized that she looked a lot like her, but the girl had splotched skin and different colored eyes. She attached herself to her immediately, seeing as though she was the only other girl there. At her bonfire, she stuck close to Mel and Minho, even though Minho didn’t seem to like her. That night, she couldn’t sleep and made Mel a pair of earrings out of the Builder’s scrap metal in thanks. The next morning, the look on Mel’s face was totally worth it. A couple of weeks later, Val saved a rabbit from the Bloodhouse and named it Nutmeg. (Oh my babies). (I’m going to skip ahead a couple of chapters, because this is important). Val meets Thomas and immediately seems skeptical of him. In a way that she questions how he acts. She slowly finds herself slipping up, and starts liking his observance, until literally finding herself head over heels for him. She helps Thomas while he’s in the Slammer on her off time. She is relatively the only one on his side, and he comforts her when the end of the Maze is triggered. (Instead of Teresa, it is another boy that shows up the day after. So original, I know.)

Further (and rather unimportant) information:

Thomas + Valentina = Talentina

ART! Mel first (made by me), Val second (by @day-ur-fav-gay), and Hawk third (by @secretlyab1rd). (Some Nutmeg and the Homestead wall against the world that I made too! XD)

Episode 11 Review (Jason & Thomas)

I actually have rather little to say about this one, overall it was an okay-ish episode and it didn’t have much in it for me (still keeping it under the cut to contain the yapping lol)

beware of spoilers!

One of th few times I saw both routes fully, i usually only go see Thomas' special scenes and illustration but I was pretty curious about this one and I am starting to like him more and more, the scene felt so shooooooorrrrt I wish they had talked more and discussed his finger licking habits 👁👁 the ilustration was very pretty too, i LOVE his expression~ I was a bit sad when we couldnt go to the planetarium :c I hope its a hint for a future episode, maybe an actual date?

Now Jason's route... I am a damn broken CD repeating myself over and over but I really and i mean REALLY dislike Ysaline. She is such a brat and so rude and judgy for no reason.

The whole "uuuuggghh i dont want to have dinner with himmmmm but i gave my woorrrddd but i dont want to be with hiiiimmmm" was so silly cause... dont go? say no? whats he gonna do sue you for hurting his feelings? why are u acting like u have a gun to your head lmao and also why are you acting like spending time alone with him is a torture? the last few times you two spend time together he was sweet and kind, he opened up to you, he helped you and clearly showed you that he DOES like you as a person!! what is there to hate at this point i dont get it, and youre also obviously horny for him get your shit together

And just dipping from his house leaving the dinner there.... I'm sorry that is extremely rude I cant deal with that. The reasoning is, again, so stupid. No, she is not betraying her company because (like Jason says) the rivalry is between him and Devon, Ysaline is not part of the equation she is not even a variable to consider. And no, she is not betraying her "friends" either because she has none! the game is very focused on the route to the point of our MC not making friends, this is not HSL where you got to constantly interact with the cast, raise their LOM, get to know them, etc. Here Ysaline is alone with her LI (and I cant take the argument of "the friendship happens behind the camera" cause thats just lazy af and leaving up to the VIEWER to fill in plot holes, for all I know she could also be addicted to cocaine and thats why she doesnt have money to pay the groceries).

Anyway, her bullshit aside, I actually loved Jason this episode! He is funny, witty, bratty in his charming way, he is so gentlemany, he cooks for her, drives her in his car (sighs like a teenager). I really like his character these past few episodes (it does bother me tho that this ep is SO bland without the special scene :/) and i hope he continues this way !!

Back to bitching- Just to quickly comment on the whole cameo thing: I am not a fan. I dont really mind them per se and I am not bubbling with rage, the cameos are well placed and they make sense and dont feel super out of pocket (amoris is a small city after all) but... I want our own characters, I want our own NPCs to interact with semi-frequently, I looooved the introduction of Devon's brothers and that cap remains my fav up to date (i want to rewatch it on Thomas' route again just to see Tasha and the boys more~). I want more characters that Ysaline can befriend and forge friendships with :c

That's pretty much all, like I said a mid chapter, not bad but not good. Pretty curious about the next one and how Jason will fit there!

[thedarknesseater]

Surprised because I almost never seen people shipping everyone's favorite crying emo boys together.

I just think Yuta/Jun is a fun concept for a ship, at least on a platonic way because of how similar their backgrounds are.

Two social outcast who suffered bullying and couldn't defend themselves with a curse negatively affecting their lives? Sound familar lol.

Now I said platonic cause I could see it being more a one sided crush on Yuta's side.

Like imagine an AU where he cames back from Africa in more normal circunstances and while he's recibed by his old friends they told him about the new first years students, so naturally he would go and try to act as a good senpai for them.

Then Yuta walks around the gardens of the campus and discovers someone unfamiliar: a boy around his age with pretty long brown hair and big green eyes, relaxing next to a fountain while playing with a small jellyfish shikigami.

Yuta of course gets paralized by the beauty of the new student, and he can't quite react properly (he's not the best to handle this kind of situations sadly).

But the tension is broken pretty quick because a very lousy Yuuji appears out of nowhere screaming the name of Junpei, and he obviously must be too close to the pink haired boy because of how happy they reunite and how there's not physical distance between them.

That sort of kill Yuta's hopes before he even had some.

But anyway, after a proper introduction and in the night when they organize a welcome party for Yuta, all them start to exchange stories about their past.

When the story of Junpei cames and all them about the abuse he suffered in school, Yuta can feel really identified with that and internally his heart brokes. So even if Junpei is with Yuuji, Yuta still promise to himself do the best to protect Jun and Itadori.

This could be the start of a funny love traingle even.

I love the idea of platonic yutajun. I absolutely adore a protective senpai yuuta vowing to protect yuuji and junpei and doing everything possible to keep them alive AND together so they don't have to go through what he went through. (Losing a loved one, not the part where they become a curse)

[thatgreyjedi]

So I saw this template somewhere (I forgot who made it but kudos to them!!) and I thought it was a good thing to reflect on this year’s highlights of AO3!

Turns out, I wrote a lot more than I realized. So in addition, I’d like to draw some special attention to some of the accomplishments my fics achieved in my eyes this year!!

I Bet My Life-

After almost two years (including a 6 month hiatus in 2023, oops) I finally concluded my largest fic to date. I think my favorite moments that I wrote in this story was the interaction between Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. When I first started writing the story, I knew I wanted a moment between Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon that would leave an impact on the narrative of the story and I think the master and apprentice duo meeting in a sort of between-life-and-death world (Kind of like the World between Worlds). I really enjoyed writing this scene because it allowed Obi-Wan to finally overcome his past and move forward on his path of training the future Jedi that will defeat the Sith. I also enjoyed writing the scenes with Reva and Cody because it highlighted their special father-daughter bond that wouldn’t have happened if they never met in the aftermath of Order 66. This fic will always hold a special place in my heart for several reasons, and I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to bring this emotionally heart-wrenching story with a heartwarming ending to so many people!!!

Dennis and Mac Have a Secret-

So my introduction to this fandom was kind of funny, meaning that I started watching this in order to ease my nerves about my upcoming AP tests (and it paid off because I ended up doing pretty well on them). Well, I ended up loving the show so much that I wrote a fic about it. Although it’s not one of my more successful fics I’ve written, this one holds a special place in my heart. I love how the direction of this story went and it truly showed that even some of the most vulgar, self-centered characters can be changed by one person in their life. For me, it’s a beautiful story of love coming in several different forms all tied together to create a bittersweet ending that is how Mac and Dennis finally get together (I won’t spoil too much, but it gets kind of sad at some points).

Lights Will Guide Us Home-

Similarly to IASIP, I fell head first into the 9-1-1 fandom and immediately became infatuated with it. However, this show has quickly became one of my favorite shows of all time and Buddie has became one of my favorite ships of all time! So, when I was waiting for S8 to drop, I decided to write my own sort of post-S7 fix-it story (let’s just say there were certain things about the end of S7 that made me mad and confused). So I combined my favorite trope of trapping characters in a cave together (if I had a nickel for every time I wrote about two characters trapped in a cave in life-threatening circumstances and they confess their feelings to each other, I’d have two nickels, which is really weird that it happened twice…) Regardless, I loved writing this one because it was something new, and I really enjoyed writing for these characters and all their dynamics and small little details. For me, 9-1-1 not only really inspired me in more than just the writing aspect as it gave me a fresh canvas for art pieces (which I’d been struggling to make for a while until now), but it also created memories with some of the most important people in my life (my family would sit down every night to binge episodes and we’d all share our theories/predictions together. Also, my best friend started watching at the same time and we’d talk about everything, including the Buddie moments). This show will hold a permanent spot in my heart for years to come.

Love Like This-

Oh boy, where do I even begin with this one? So, one of the most common questions I had while watching this show is “Why doesn’t Buck have a kid of his own yet?” Sure, he basically co-parents Christopher with Eddie at this point, but like, I want to see Buck actually take care of a baby-baby. Hence, Ellowynn “Elly” Buckley(-Diaz) was born. But, I didn’t just stop at giving Buck his own kid, no no, obviously Eddie would baby trap himself the same way Buck did when he first met Chris about 7 years ago. Either way, I have so many ideas for this fic that I want to turn it into a series, but I needed to lay down the basic groundwork for it before I started adding one shots to it. Also, it has been SO MUCH FUN drawing this family dynamic!!! I’m excited to continue with this series and hopefully you guys will enjoy it too!

I think that my main takeaway from 2024 is to not be afraid to explore outside your comfort zone. If you would have asked me two years ago if I would have written outside the Star Wars fandom, I probably would have said never. However, I’ve learned that the most meaningful pieces that you create, whether it be a drawing or a written work, is something that holds value to what you love. It’s okay to expand out of what you’re known for because you can be defined more that just someone that writes for a specific fandom.

So, my advice to anyone who is new to Tumblr/AO3 going into 2024 and to those who maybe have been members for a while:

Create art that makes you happy.

And:

Don’t be afraid to be yourself.

Have a Happy and Safe Holiday Season (Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or an entirely different celebration!!!) and I hope you all have an awesome New Year!!!

With Love,

ThatGreyJedi

• in the escape scene, it seems like the other scientist knew siggi was betraying the enclave, but how? if they have cold fusion, was it obvious he was "stealing" it and trying to give it to someone else? maybe i have gaps in my knowledge here • siggi genuinely does seem like he's trying to do the right thing though 🥲 • dogmeat seeing that guy try to harm siggi and dogmeat fuckin' him up ❤️ • game dogmeat being referred sometimes as a boy and show dogmeat being a girl lol [love the gender doesn't matterism here gldfgld]

bananas for you 🍌 || s. jake

•synopsis: y/n didn't really enjoy science but her crush did. and a silly experiment on bananas might help her with said crush

•genre: oneshot, y/n x jake, highschool au, written (0,5k words) and screenshots

Science was not y/n’s favorite subject. But indeed it was jakes. 

Obviously, like a normal teenage girl at school, since her crush liked one subject, she had to like it too. And she also liked having good grades, so studying wasn’t that. Either way, if she ever failed the subject she could ask Jake to tutor her. But that was her secret plan b.

Today was a very fun day, because it was lab-day. They would be doing some type of experiment related to the dna, the topic they were learning lately.

The teacher caught your attention “Ok class, today we are going to extract DNA from bananas” the whole class let out a little gasp, excited to be doing something different than usual.

“But before that, let’s have a brief introduction. Did you know that all bananas share the same dna?  They are all clones! and there’s only one type of banana that is eaten in the entire world! That's why they are always endangered: if they get infected by a parasite, they risk extinction. that already happened in the 50s: your great grandparents probably ate a different kind of banana that doesn’t exist anymore because it was infected by the parasite of panama. And it’s possible that we won’t have bananas in 50 years” the teacher explained

“Ok now i’ll make small groups of 4 people to do the experiment”

He made the groups and you ended up with Danielle, your best friend, Heeseung and Jake. jake. your crush. This was going to be fun.

The first step was to take a banana and smash it very well until it was basically liquid.

“Smash the banana” said Heeseung to Jake

“But maybe the girls want to do it. y/n do you want to do it” Jake said

“I don’t but I know Danielle and she can’t wait to do it.” You responded with a smile and gave Danielle a funny look. your best friend seemed very happy that you mentioned that. She quickly took the spoon and started smashing the banana. Heeseung in the meantime, was taking videos to make a report later on.

“Do you know what she is saying?” asked Jake, close to your ear so you were the only one that heard the question. she was referencing to danielle, who was still smashing the banana, while also singing quietly the same part of a song

“Chulo.” you responded

“What?” asked the boy

“Chulo, that one reggaeton song that is really catchy”

“Oh my god I love that song actually” he said smiling fondly. his smile was so pretty that it almost made you mad

“Do you also like reggaeton?” you asked surprised, since he didn’t look like the type of guy to listen to that kind of music.

“Yeah I actually do, surprisingly. You do too, right?”

“Yeah, it fills me with energy, especially in the morning when i don’t feel like getting out of bed” you admitted

“Y/n, we should go to that one cafè place that only puts reggaeton together after school” Jake proposed with a small smile

“That is such a good idea, I can't wait” you responded, blushing.

The experiment was long forgotten

masterlist

• author's note: another fruit one shot cause they are so fun, i love them!!!! i did this experiment at school last week, so yeah i had to make this. i hope the science part is actually right 😭 anyways yeonjun being the teacher is so funny to me. check the other fruit one shots!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 The Mystery Shack had undergone a wild transformation in just a few short hours.

The usual clutter and chaos of the main room had been replaced with streamers, twinkling lights, and a makeshift stage—all courtesy of Mabel’s sheer force of will.

Hand-painted banners stretched across the ceiling, boasting phrases like “HAPPY RE-BIRTHDAY, GRUNKLES!” and “NOW 60% LESS OLD!”

The entire space felt alive, buzzing with excitement.

Evalin moved with quiet precision, carefully balancing a giant homemade sheet cake as she gracefully navigated the room.

Her focus was singular—do not drop the cake.

Not because she was nervous, but because dropping the cake would be an absolute tragedy.

'Ugh, the things I do just to try and fit in... I fucking swear...'

She barely had time to set it down before—

“AND HERE IS THE HERO OF OUR STORY!”

Evalin froze mid-step as every eye in the room snapped to her.

Mabel had materialized at her side, arms thrown wide in a dramatic flourish, presenting her like a grand prize.

Evalin stiffened.

'The fuck... is this?'

Her fingers instinctively tightened on the brim of her hat, like a lifeline.

“Oh, um…” Her voice betrayed her unease. “Hi?”

Mabel bounced on the balls of her heels.

“Evi, meet your soon-to-be new best friends!”

From the crowd, a petite girl in a jade-green dress with round glasses stepped forward, her dark eyes gleaming with excitement.

“Hi, Evalin!” Candy said brightly. “Mabel has told us so much about you! You’re even prettier than she said!”

Evalin’s brain short-circuited.

“Oh,” she stammered, a deep blush creeping up her cheeks. “Um… thank you?”

Her fingers twitched at her sides, unsure what to do.

A second voice—deeper, more powerful—cut through the moment.

“Yeah!”

Evalin turned just in time to see Grenda—who was built like she could punch through a brick wall—stride confidently toward her.

She stopped, grinning toothily.

“You’re, like, some kind of woodland goddess or something!”

Evalin’s blush deepened as she let out a nervous laugh, tugging her hat down as if it might physically shield her from all the attention.

“Oh, um… that’s… really nice of you to say.”

Before she could spontaneously combust from being perceived too hard, a calmer voice cut in, “Hey.”

Evalin turned to see Wendy strolling over, leaning on a broom, the effortless coolness radiating off her in waves.

“Nice to finally meet you,” Wendy said, offering a lopsided smile. “Heard a lot about you. Soos said you’ve got your own little fortune-telling stand here at the Shack—and that you’re scary accurate.”

Evalin hesitated.

“Oh, well,” she murmured, fiddling with the brim of her hat. “I just… pick up on small things and put pieces together…”

Wendy smirked warmly, unbothered.

“Humility’s a good look on you.”

She nodded toward the room.

“Don’t sweat the Pines family. They’re weird, but they’re the best kind of weird.”

Evalin… wasn’t sure what to do with that.

Before she could respond—

“HI!”

A loud, booming voice practically erupted from behind a stack of chairs.

Evalin nearly jumped out of her skin as Soos dramatically popped into view, waving like he’d just been called on in class.

“I’m Soos!” he declared proudly. “Soos Ramirez! The guy who hired you to work at the Shack!”

Evalin blinked before a chuckle slipped past her lips.

“Soos,” she said, eyes twinkling with amusement, “we’ve already met.”

“I know!” Soos grinned, completely unbothered. “But, like, everyone else was doing introductions, and I didn’t wanna miss out!”

Evalin couldn’t help but huff a laugh.

'He is one of the funny ones at least. Not an ounce of danger about him. A literal marshmallow.'

The earlier tension finally cracked, the warmth of the room settling into her bones.

“Thank you, Bossman Soos,” she said, still chuckling. “You truly are a gem.”

Soos puffed up his chest proudly.

“A gem who loves cake!”

His nose twitched dramatically, sniffing the air.

“Oh man—is that homemade frosting? That’s some next-level stuff, Eves.”

“You can thank Mabel for that. She said I had to ‘go big or go home.’” Evalin snorted, shrugging.

“1000%!” Mabel added with an energetic nod.

Evalin turned back to the group, exhaling softly.

'I have no idea why everyone is so excited to meet me but I think I got this introduction thing down now~ Just gotta act... normal.'

She let herself smile.

“Um. Hi. I’m... Evalin Dreamer.” Her voice was softer this time. “It’s nice to meet all of you. And… Thank you for letting me help.”

Mabel clapped her hands together, a mischievous glint in her eye.

“Alright, everyone! I’ll be right back.”

And with that, she bolted out of the room.

Evalin blinked slowly because something about that felt… off.

The rest of the group, however, didn’t seem at all concerned.

Dipper, noticing her confusion, leaned in and whispered, “She’s just going to let the Grunkles out of the closet.”

Evalin’s brows furrowed slightly as she hummed in skepticism. “Mmhm.”

She turned back to the table, choosing not to question it further.

Instead, she carefully adjusted the plates and silverware, making sure everything was just right.

As she worked, the rest of the party preparations continued.

~n~

Wendy and Soos wrangled the last of the decorations, Candy and Grenda debated the snack-to-punch ratio, and Dipper obsessively tweaked the projector setup for Mabel’s 'mystery movie'.

Everything was falling into place.

Suddenly, Mabel dramatically reappeared.

She leaped onto the small makeshift stage, arms thrown wide, voice ringing out like a grand circus announcer.

“And now, the moment you’ve ALL been waiting for—”

The room hushed in anticipation.

Mabel pointed toward the entrance.

“THE BIRTHDAY BOYS!”

The doors swung open—and the group collectively gasped.

Stan strode forward first, shoulders squared, confidence oozing from every step.

His dark brown hair was slicked back in a classic style, highlighting the sharp features of his youthful face. He wore a fitted black suit, the sleek tailoring making him look surprisingly refined. His polished black shoes clicked lightly against the floor.

For half a second, he actually looked distinguished.

Then he smirked his signature Stanley Pines grin that said, Yeah, I know I look good, and the illusion of class shattered instantly.

Ford followed a step behind, adjusting his glasses as he surveyed the room.

Unlike Stan, who owned the attention, Ford moved with subtle restraint.

His dark brown waves had been neatly styled, softening the angular sharpness of his face. The tailored black suit fit him perfectly, every stitch was meticulous.

Stan threw a mock bow, waving graciously as if he were royalty greeting his adoring subjects.

“Thank you, thank you,” he quipped, flashing a cocky grin. “I know, I know—it’s hard to believe, but I really am this handsome~”

The group laughed, eating up every bit of his theatrics.

Ford, on the other hand, looked mildly overwhelmed by the attention.

He cleared his throat, adjusting his glasses, his voice a little too formal.

“I, uh… appreciate the effort,” he said, glancing toward Mabel—who was vibrating with excitement. “Though I can’t help but feel this is all a bit… excessive.”

Mabel gasped, horrified, pressing a hand to her chest as if he had just insulted her greatest artistic masterpiece.

“Excessive?!” she repeated, eyes wide.

“Lighten up, Sixer. The kids did something right for once,” Stan snorted, clapping Ford on the back.

Then, lowering his voice with a smirk, he added, “And admit it—you’re kinda digging the cologne.”

Ford opened his mouth to protest—but then, just for a moment, he caught the scent of it again.

The faintest smile twitched at his lips.

“Perhaps it’s… not entirely unpleasant.”

~n~

Meanwhile, at the snack table, Evalin was completely unaware of the buzz around the room as she fixated on the cake, carefully centering it on the table.

She brushed a stray crumb from the edge of the plate, her focus entirely on the task—

Until she turned around.

Her breath caught.

From her vantage point near the back of the room, she had a clear view of the twins—

Stan swaggering with ease, Ford standing tall, refined but hesitant.

Evalin’s fingers instinctively went to her hat, tugging it down to try and ground herself.

Then—Ford’s gaze swept the room until his eyes landed on her.

He hesitated for just a moment before making his way over to her.

Evalin’s pulse spiked.

She stiffened, suddenly hyper-aware of every breath, every motion.

“Evalin,” Ford greeted warmly, his voice softer than she expected. “How are you holding up?”

Evalin’s fingers tightened on her hat as she glanced up at him, her cheeks burning.

“I-I’m fine,” she stammered. “Yeah. Fine. The cake’s… good. All set.”

Ford’s smile was gentle as his lips curled at the corners.

“Good. I just wanted to make sure you’d be okay tonight.”

He rubbed the back of his neck.

“I know crowds aren’t always easy.”

Evalin nodded quickly, her voice barely above a whisper.

Then, before she could stop herself, she blurted out—

“Y-you look nice.”

Silence stretched between them as Evalin’s stomach dropped.

'Oh, no. No, no, no, why did I say that!? What the godsdamn hell is fucking wrong with me?!'

Her fingers gripped her hat so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

Ford blinked, caught off guard.

Then, he rubbed the back of his neck as his cheeks dusted pink.

“Th-Thank you,” he stuttered as his eyes drifted. 

Then something caught his gaze as he twitched his finger toward her.

“Oh, you’ve got…”

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a napkin.

Evalin barely had time to react before he leaned closer.

Gently, Ford wiped a small smudge of frosting from her cheek.

Evalin froze, her breath hitching as her heart fluttered in her chest.

Ford, completely unaware of the chaos he had just caused, sniffed the air.

“Did you make the frosting from scratch? It smells incredible.”

Evalin nodded so stiffly that she looked like a malfunctioning robot.

“Y-yeah. I did.”

Ford straightened, folding the napkin neatly in his hand.

“Well, it’s impressive,” he said, genuinely sincere. “Thank you for putting so much thought into this.”

Evalin gripped the brim of her hat like it was the only thing tethering her to reality.

“H-happy birthday, Stanford.”

Ford smiled, about to say something else—

“HEY, SIXER!” Stan’s voice boomed from across the room. “Get over here! You’ve gotta check this out!”

Ford turned back to Evalin, offering her one last warm smile.

“I’ll see you in a bit. Take it easy tonight, alright?”

Then, he strode off, completely unaware of the absolute wreck he had just left behind.

Evalin didn’t move, didn’t breathe.

Didn’t do anything.

She barely registered Mabel’s presence until the girl nudged her.

Evalin jumped and looked down to see Mabel grinning like a Cheshire cat.

“Soooo…” she drawled, practically swaying with glee. “Grunkle Ford looks pretty nice tonight, huh~?”

Evalin’s entire soul turned scarlet.

“I-I mean—yeah, he looks… good. But, uh, I need to—” she stuttered as she willed herself to breathe. “I need to get ready for the party.”

She stumbled over her words and took a step back.

“I—uh—excuse me!”

Then she turned on her heel and ran.

Mabel watched her go, hands on her hips, beaming.

“That’s what I thought~” she sang with pure delight in her voice.

~n~

Meanwhile, Ford returned to Stan, who was standing in front of a nearby mirror.

“Dude. Looking this good should come with a warning,” he purred as he flexed in his suit.

“You’re impossible, Stanley,” Ford chuckled, shaking his head.

Stan smirked and glanced sideways at his brother.

“You over there flirting with Spooky?”

Ford’s brows shot up, his cheeks dusting pink.

He rubbed the back of his neck, laughing softly.

“Geez, Stanley. No. I was just making sure she’s going to be okay. People seem to make her nervous.”

Stan threw an arm around him, grinning.

“Hey, man, I don’t judge!” he winked. “But just so you know, if I end up with a sister-in-law who can throw fireballs, I’m totally fine with that.”

Ford sighed, exasperated but amused.

“You’re ridiculous.”

He exhaled, shaking his head, but something lingered in his expression.

Then—just barely—he smiled.

~n~

The Mystery Shack swelled with life as more and more townsfolk poured in, drawn by the irresistible allure of a Pines family party and, of course, the unknown. The room buzzed with energy, laughter, and chatter mingling with the glow of fairy lights.

It didn’t take long for Stan and Ford to become the center of attention.

“Stan! Ford! What happened to you two?” Lazy Susan exclaimed, squinting at them. “You look like you stepped out of the fountain of youth!”

Stan slung an arm around her shoulder and grinned.

“What can I say? Some people age like fine wine. Turns out, I’m more of a rare scotch.”

“Oh, Stanley, you old flirt!” Lazy Susan giggled, fanning herself.

Ford, meanwhile, was a little less thrilled about the constant questioning.

“It’s, uh… complicated,” he said, adjusting his glasses as another guest leaned in curiously.

Before the interrogation could escalate, Mabel popped up out of nowhere, her eyes glittering with excitement.

“Uh-uh! No spoilers!” she wagged her finger, guiding them away from the Pines twins. “You have to wait for the big reveal! Trust me, it’s worth it.”

She herded the guests away with the enthusiasm of a circus ringleader.

Then, the double doors opened again.

Evalin stepped inside.

Ford’s thoughts ground to a halt.

For a long moment, the noise of the party faded.

His surroundings blurred into nothing.

All he could focus on was the way she stood near the entrance, idly tugging at her hat.

She had traded her usual attire for something that made the room feel too warm, too loud, too still all at once.

A long, dark purple dress clung gracefully to her form, its fabric shimmering faintly under the fairy lights. It was elegant yet effortless, with lace fingerless gloves that traced delicate patterns over her skin.

Her signature witch hat still sat perched on her head, its brim tilted slightly, a quiet but stubborn reminder of who she was.

But Ford couldn’t stop staring at her boots.

Because despite the soft, ethereal glow of her dress, she still wore her laced-up black boots— scuffed, steady, ready for anything.

The contrast was startling… and absolutely perfect.

It was clear that she hadn’t dressed like this to be admired.

She dressed in the way that made her feel right.

Ford exhaled sharply, forcing himself to snap out of it.

He turned away too fast, adjusting his glasses as if that would somehow restore his clarity.

'You’re being ridiculous,' he told himself. 'Just go say hello.'

He wove through the crowd, approaching her without hesitation.

Evalin hadn’t noticed him at first—her gaze was flitting across the room, her fingers still idly fidgeting with her hat.

He cleared his throat gently.

She turned, their eyes meeting, and suddenly, Ford forgot how to speak.

Evalin blinked up at him, her eyes curious, a little uncertain.

“You look astonishing.”

The words slipped out before he could stop them.

Evalin’s entire body locked up.

Her fingers twitched at her hat as her cheeks dusted pink.

“Th-thank you,” she answered in a small, unsure voice.

She seemed almost startled—as if she hadn’t even considered the possibility of hearing those words tonight.

Ford, realizing what he’d just said, suddenly felt very aware of the fact that they were still standing too close in the middle of a very crowded room.

He searched for something else to say—something casual, something light—

“I should, uh… let you enjoy the party,” he said, his voice quieter now, almost swallowed by the surrounding sounds.

But before stepping away, he offered her one last small, warm smile.

“But really—you look wonderful.”

Just as Ford went to walk away, a cheerful voice rang out above the hum of the party.

“Well, I’ll be! Ain’t this a sight for sore eyes!”

Both Evalin and Ford turned as a wiry, wild-eyed man made his way through the crowd.

His long white beard nearly reached his knees, adorned with a band-aid, a stray pine needle, and what appeared to be a tiny raccoon tail poking out of it. His battered brown hat, once sturdy, was now more patchwork than fabric, sitting slightly askew on his head. One of his arms was wrapped in a cast.

Ford blinked as his eyebrows shot up in surprise.

“Fiddleford?”

“It’s true!” Fiddleford grinned, looking Ford up and down like he’d just seen a two-headed chicken hatch. “Ya really are young again! Thought them rumors were just hogwash, but here ya are—slicker than a greased hog on ice!”

Ford’s surprise softened into something genuine.

“Hello, Fiddleford. It’s good to see you again.”

He turned to Evalin, who was watching the interaction with quiet curiosity.

“Evalin, I’d like you to meet an old friend and colleague of mine—Fiddleford McGucket.”

Evalin’s eyes widened slightly.

She offered a small, polite smile and bowed.

“I-It’s nice to meet you, Mr. McGucket.”

“Pleasure’s all mine, Miss Evalin. Any friend of Stanford’s is a friend of mine!” Fiddleford beamed, tipping his ragged hat in a mock bow.

His eyes flicked between Evalin and Ford.

“Though I gotta say, Stanford,” he mused, stroking his beard, “yur keepin’ some mighty fine company tonight.”

Ford cleared his throat as Evalin, utterly oblivious, just tugged at the brim of her hat.

“She’s been staying with us for a while,” Ford said, forcing casual professionalism into his voice. “She’s been a tremendous help with research and some rather… unique situations.”

Evalin snorted, rolling her eyes.

“Oh, don’t be so modest,” she snorted as she waved her hand in the air lazily. “Stanford’s the real genius in this crazy household.”

Ford’s breath caught.

The way she said it—so matter-of-factly like it was the most obvious truth in the world—struck him to the core.

Fiddleford let out a hearty laugh, his voice warm and unrestrained.

“Modesty, huh? Guess some things never change. But don’t let him fool ya, Miss Evalin. Stanford here’s the type to rope ya into a lifetime of adventures before ya know what hit ya.”

“I'm sure he could,” Evalin mused with a soft laugh.

Suddenly, something rustled in Fiddleford’s beard.

Evalin barely had time to process it before two tiny raccoon faces peeked out.

Their beady little eyes blinked up at her.

Evalin gasped, her hand flying to her mouth.

“Sweet stars,” she whispered. “…Are those baby raccoons?”

Ford braced himself for her reaction—maybe hesitation, maybe nerves.

He was shocked to see her entire face light up.

“Sure as the sunrise!” Fiddleford beamed proudly. “Miss Evalin, meet Sassafras and Pickles. My raccoon wife just had ’em, and these little rascals’ve taken a real liking to my beard.”

Evalin’s astonishment melted into unrestrained joy.

“They’re adorable~”

She clasped her hands together, practically vibrating in place.

“Would it… would it be okay if I held them?”

Ford blinked, baffled.

‘Evalin had never sounded like this before… What is happening here?’

“Well, aren’t you just the darndest thing! Of course, ya can!” Fiddleford chuckled as he gently plucked the tiny raccoons from his beard. “Just be careful—Pickles likes climbin’ up sleeves.”

Evalin reached out as Fiddleford handed them over, and as soon as the little creatures settled into her arms, she let out a soft giggle.

Ford actually felt himself exhale a breath he didn't realize he’d been holding.

Evalin, the woman who flung fire at nightmares, who carried an invisible weight in her eyes—

Was giggling over baby raccoons.

It was disarming… and entirely unfair.

“I have to admit,” Ford said, watching as Sassafras pawed at Evalin’s gloves, “I wasn’t sure how you’d feel about… that.”

Evalin turned to him with a bright grin.

“They’re perfect~”

And somehow, Ford was completely and utterly convinced.

She turned back to Fiddleford, her excitement still shimmering in her eyes.

“I think you and your raccoon family are wonderful, Mr. McGucket~”

“Well, don't you have the sweetest of hearts! Any friend who loves these critters is a friend of mine,” Fiddleford beamed in his southern drawl.

The baby raccoons pawed at Evalin’s gloves, their tiny claws catching on the lace.

She let out a soft giggle, light and unguarded.

Ford’s stomach did something strange.

'I don't understand. She is usually so closed off. I've never seen her so... calm.'

He watched for a moment longer, a gentle smirk crawling across his face as his chest warmed.

'This is... nice.'

With a sharp whistle, Fiddleford called the raccoons back.

They scurried up his arms, disappearing into his beard like it was a tiny, chaotic universe of its own.

“They get fidgety if I let ’em wander too long. Don’t wanna lose ‘em in this crowd.”

Fiddleford tipped his hat with a slight nod.

“It was wonderful meeting ya, Miss Evalin.”

With that, he excused himself before disappearing into the crowd.

Evalin nodded, her fingers still tingling from their little claws.

She pressed her palm to her chest, grounding herself as the moment passed.

Ford realized he hadn’t looked away.

He cleared his throat.

“Well, that was… unexpected.”

Evalin glanced up at him, an amused glint in her eyes.

“You thought I’d be weirded out by raccoons in a beard?”

Ford hesitated, searching for an answer.

“I thought you might… react differently.”

Evalin’s lips twitched, arching an eyebrow.

“You mean scream?”

Ford huffed a small laugh.

“Perhaps.”

She just shook her head, shrugging.

“Nah. I like weird things~” she cooed, her voice casual, offhanded.

But Ford’s brain immediately latched onto it.

Something that made his chest feel… lighter.

Ford adjusted his glasses again—unnecessarily.

“Well,” he said carefully, “then I suppose you’re in the right place.”

Evalin’s smile softened.

“Yeah... I think I might be.”

Stan's voice rang out across the room.

“Hey, Sixer! Wanna see how many marshmallows I can fit in my mouth?!”

Ford sighed, muttering, “Excuse me. I must address my fool of a brother.”

“Good luck with that. Stanley seems like a bit of a handful,” she snickered, amused.

Ford chuckled, shaking his head.

“You have no idea.”

As he walked off, Evalin watched him go, something tightening in her chest.

“Stanford looks just like you did on Yule... Thank the stars he doesn't fucking act like you though.”

Her smirk faltered as her fingers curled against her chest.

“Where the hell are you anyway?”

Silence answered her.

Nothing but the hum of the party around her.

Not even a flicker of a response to her thought.

No answering pulse of recognition.

Her stomach twisted.

“It’s been over a week now. Since when are you so far away from me for this fucking long?”

She shook her head, forcing the thought away, and quickly made her way to the back wall.

~n~

As the lights dimmed, a hush fell over the crowd as murmurs faded into eager anticipation.

A spotlight illuminated Mabel and Dipper as they stood at the front, their contrasting personalities reflected in their outfits—Mabel covered in sequins, Dipper dressed for business.

“Ladies, gentlemen, and Waddles!” Mabel began, striking a pose. “Welcome to the greatest movie premiere Gravity Falls has ever seen!”

Dipper stepped forward, adjusting his note cards.

“First, we just want to say—Happy Birthday, Grunkle Stan and Grunkle Ford!”

The crowd cheered and Stan and Ford stood to acknowledge it, though it quickly turned into laughter as Stan flexed dramatically.

“Yeah, yeah, keep it coming! Don’t strain yourselves. These guns don’t build themselves, ya know!”

Ford shook his head, amused, and placed a hand on his showboating brother.

Mabel grabbed the mic again.

“As you all can see, Grunkle Stan and Grunkle Ford are no longer the grumpy old men you knew and loved!”

She threw out her arms like she was unveiling a masterpiece.

“They are now total heartthrobs!”

Grenda let out a howl of approval, punching the air. “You get it, girl!”

Mabel pointed dramatically.

“Exactly! But how, you ask, did this transformation happen? Was it a crazy experiment gone wrong? An interdimensional accident? Did they just wake up this way?”

Her voice dropped conspiratorially as she leaned into the mic.

“Well, everyone… you’re about to find out.”

Dipper stepped forward, lifting a small remote.

“Prepare yourselves for the most thrilling, daring, and possibly terrifying film you’ll ever see: The Tale of the Age Eater.”

The projector flickered on and a strange, upbeat synth track filled the room—a tune straight out of an ’80s action movie.

The crowd clapped excitedly as the first slide appeared.

“We open with Grunkle Stan, walking into the living room on a totally normal day,” Mabel narrated.

The first slide showed a cartoon Stan, grumpy but harmless.

Then, the music shifted.

The next image loomed on screen—a grotesque, slug-like creature with glowing eyes.

“Suddenly, the Age Eater appeared!” Mabel declared, flinging out her arms. “It locked onto Grunkle Stan, hungry for every single year he’s been alive!”

The following slides depicted Stan heroically fist-fighting the Age Eater.

Each panel was filled with dramatic sound effects—

BAM! SMASH! POW!

Stan, watching from the audience, smirked.

He nudged Ford, nodding as he whispered, “You see that? That’s exactly how it happened.”

Ford just huffed a laugh.

Mabel pressed on.

“Then—just when things were getting dire—”

The next slide clicked into place and the crowd let out a collective ooh.

It was Evalin, drawn with fiery determination as a cloak billowed behind her and magic swirling at her fingertips.

“And then, out of nowhere, appeared our mysterious friend, Evalin!” Mabel gestured wildly. “She raised her mighty hand and—poof! The Age Eater was vanquished!”

Near the back of the room, Evalin stiffened as her face burned.

She pulled her hat down lower, practically willing herself invisible.

'Sweet fucking stars... I asked to not be put out in front like this...'

Dipper, noticing her discomfort, smoothly took the mic.

“Actually, Evalin saved Grunkle Stan and Grunkle Ford with quick thinking and bravery. It wasn’t as fiery as Mabel says, but she acted fast. That’s why Grunkle Stan and Grunkle Ford are, well…”

He gestured toward the brothers.

Stan grinned and waved as Ford gave a small, approving nod.

The final slide appeared—cartoon Stan and Ford, now younger and revitalized.

The synth track returned, wrapping up the presentation.

The crowd burst into applause.

Evalin exhaled.

She glanced toward Dipper, who met her gaze—and gave her a small, reassuring nod.

Evalin swallowed, her chest loosening as she mouth a quiet thank you.

Dipper just smirked slightly and turned back to Mabel.

As the lights came back on, the party shifted.

Guests moved aside as the music changed, turning the main room into a lively dance floor.

Evalin was quickly swarmed by guests.

Soos clapped her on the back.

“Lady dude! That was epic! You’re, like, our own secret superhero!”

“I-I wouldn’t go that far,” Evalin murmured, her hands twitching at the brim of her hat.

But…

She smiled.

A strange feeling curled in her chest that she didn't know how to explain.

And yet—

It wasn't an unwelcome feeling either.

1. Introduction (Video #1)

Caroline

Hey everybody!

My name is Caroline Okamoto-Nelson. I’m seventeen years old, and I live in Willow Creek. I like horses, cooking, shopping and J-pop. I really love swimming. I guess you might even say I'm obsessed with it. I'm really good at it too, and I have the medals to prove it.

People often comment that I look like both my parents, which is super funny to me since I’m not actually biologically related to them at all. I guess people say I resemble them because I have pale hair and blue eyes like Victor, and I have Japanese facial features like Yuri. Honestly, though, I don't mind if strangers assume I'm literally theirs. I am theirs in every way that matters, and being adopted is amazing because I know they love me enough to want to make me part of their family forever. I love them a lot, and even though I think about my biological parents sometimes, Victor and Yuri will always be my real parents.

Yeah, I have two dads, and to avoid things getting confusing I should let you know that I usually call them by their names. Some people think that's weird and a few people think it's disrespectful, but it's not weird to me. I started out as Victor and Yuri's foster child when I was six years old, after my biological father passed away, and I didn't want to call either of them Daddy or Papa or whatever. They were okay with that, and when they officially adopted me about a year later, the habit had already stuck.

I do call Victor 'Dad' sometimes, probably a lot more often than I call Yuri 'Papa'. Yuri says I only call him Papa when I really want something, which... is kinda not inaccurate. Luckily, he has a good sense of humour about it.

Let's see... Another important thing you should know about me straight away is that I'm blind. Before anybody starts demanding to know how a blind person can use a camera and make a video, remember blindness is a spectrum. Most people who fit into the category of blindness can see at least a little bit. There aren't that many people who're totally blind.

As for me, I was born with something called oculocutaneous albinism, which is why I look the way I do even though I'm one hundred percent Japanese. My condition means I have no pigment in my skin, hair and eyes, and it's why I have low vision.

I can see well enough to get around, but I do use my white cane at night or in unfamiliar places. I'm able to read large print, and I can see enough to use my computer and phone if I wear my glasses. I can do most normal things, actually. The only things that are really off-limits are driving and anything that requires good visual acuity, like cutting in a straight line, putting small objects together or sewing. Unfortunately, this means I'll never get to be a nurse like Victor. That's what I originally wanted to be, until I got older and started to understand my disability and finally realized that I don't see the same way everyone else does.

I don't want anybody to feel sorry for me because of my disability. I'm not unhappy or bitter about it and I don't need anyone's sympathy or pity. As a matter of fact, I have an awesome life, and I wouldn't want to change a thing.

On the subject of my life, that brings me around to why I'm making this video in the first place. I just started twelfth grade last week, and my best friends Forest and Camellia and I decided to sign up for media studies as one of our electives. The course runs for the whole school year, and we have to do one major project as well as some small assignments. Camellia and Forest got permission to work together — they're twins and they seem to want to do practically everything together — and they're making a podcast. I decided my project is going to be a documentary about myself. A video autobiography, I suppose you could say.

The plan is to chronicle my life from now till June, but it's not just going to be a video journal about random stuff that happens to me this year. I want to tell the story of my life so far, about how I went from being an unwanted baby in Japan to being the loved, talented, cute and successful person I am today.

These videos aren't going to be only me talking in front of a camera, either. I'm planning to interview my friends and family, and maybe also to give them the camera so they can record some thoughts of their own. Then, I'll edit everything and get it ready for the final presentation.

I've decided to call it Caroline & Company. I may be the main subject of this story, but nobody can exist alone. We all need company. I don't think it'd even be possible to survive without the guidance and support of family and friends, not to mention teachers, coaches, therapists, doctors and all the other people we interact with on a daily basis. Every person in my life is important, so I feel like they need to be acknowledged in some way.

Our teacher, Mr. Blanchet, is going to help our class design a website so that all our projects will be available for everyone to see at the end of the school year. Maybe it's nerdy of me to be excited for a school project, but I"m really looking forward to doing this, and I can hardly wait to see what my classmates come up with as well.

I think it's going to be an incredible year!

Call The Warlords!!

so this takes place in the Wing!au that me @blackcat2907 and @blackholesun321 have been doing, so some prior reading may be required.

(also if this looks poorly written thats because it started as a ramble and i tried to edit it but got tired like, 2/3rds of the way through and said F it we ball.)

((also also i know the seraphim are supposed to be like,,,6-12 ft tall or something but ive known and thought about these babies for far longer than i knew their actual heights so for any thing going forward from me, S-Hawk/Peregrine/Pippin is 4'3 and Sebastian is 4'4 because i think its funny that he's so small))

so in wing!au, and pretty much any iteration, Mihawk is pretty in control of any sort of instincts he has right?

all that gets thrown out the window when he gets an invitation from a mysterious ‘Shaka’ to come and collect something of his on the equally mysterious Egghead Island shortly after his grown chicks fly the coop once more

He gets hit over the head big time with the nesting stick once he lays eyes on ‘S-Hawk 049’ and ‘S-Lion 001’ though.

Mihawk's first thought is that those are terrible names, which is quickly overtaken by ‘i need to get them into the nest as soon as possible’ which is hard because he doesn’t really nest and the only place he would really think of nesting is either home on kurigana, or home on the red force.

the red force is closer, so after some thorough cuddling and introductions/more cuddles, he bundles them both up in a blanket, together of course, and then either picks them up in his arms (given that you can also pick stuff up in your wings to keep your hands free, this is a really touching gesture) and sets off to both avoid interacting with any of the other warlords (because he is a reclusive bastard on a good day and he really does not want to explain anything to anyone right now.) and also to get to the red force as quick as possible.

so, shaka didn’t know that Mihawk and shanks were together, so they each got sent an invitation, but let's say that the news coos have a really hard time getting to Elbaf, or the giants have a really strict screening process, either way the letter was late, so late in fact that shanks didn’t even get the letter until 30 minutes before Mihawk got to the red force ( we’ll expand on that more later)

now shaka was worried because he was banking on all the seraphim being gone by a certain time so when he received no word from the red emperor he began to enact some back up plans, all of them fell through, but he figured he could just kinda dump s-lion on buggy the clown but he hadn’t been able to bring that part of the plan up to the seraphim yet, so they all thought that s-lion was being left behind.

So Mihawk and the other Warlords, both new and old (excluding Blackbeard because he wasn’t relevant and Doflamingo because he was both in prison and Shaka did not trust this man with a child) arrive on Egghead where they meet Doctor Vegapunk-01 ‘Shaka’.

After initial introductions are finished, and an explanation and reassurances are given, Shaka starts guiding them towards a meeting area to meet the seraphim. Mihawk however, notices a large amount of nervous energy, separate from the waiting figures ahead of them. This, along with how familiar the presence seems, intrigues Hawkeyes so he decides to split off and investigate. 

When Mihawk walks into the training dojo, he sees S-Hawk training his swordsmanship. He spoke up once the boy had finished his katas and noted to him that while his ability to mimic his technique was admirable, it clearly lacked the foundation the basics provided. 

He showed the seraphim the basics, they practiced a bit, S-Hawk became emotional and blew up a bit out of frustration and lack of understanding on why he was being so nice to him then proceeded to break down crying. Mihawk sat patiently during the outburst, then wrapped his wings around them as he hugged the child comfortingly during the crying jag, and stood up with S-Hawk in his arms and picked up the younger's sword (which he attached to his belt because mediocre imitation or not it is still his first sword!) and then began walking through the halls to the exit.

At one of the intersections, S-Hawk meekly asked if He could take his brother too. Mihawk questioned if he was another clone of him , to which S-Hawk says he's a clone of an Emperor. Mihawk agrees and during the walk to the mysterious brothers room, the raven haired man goes over in his head who it could be.

‘Can't be Linlin because he said brother, so that leaves Kaido, Edward Newgate and-’

Conqueror Class Seraphim: S-Lion 001

‘Shanks’

so on the trip to the red force is filled with lots more cuddles and some explaining: 

where they were going,

(Elbaf)

Why, 

(that is one of the safest places Mihawk can think of to nest) 

Who is there, 

(his mate) 

How will they react to the newly named Sebastian considering he doesn’t share any dna with Mihawk and instincts will not like that,

(he will probably react quite well, considering that while you don't share dna with me, you do share dna with him) 

How will he react to the newly named Peregrine seeing as it can be easily taken as infidelity on Mihawks' part,

(he's not one to judge based on that because he knows that I love him)

Will he like us? 

(he will love you)

SO arriving at the red force, somehow Mihawk is completely unnoticed. strange but whatever, (this is because most of the senior officers and shanks are in a war meeting rn trying to decide who goes to go get whatever it is that THE Dr Vegapunk want to give them) so Mihawk just makes his way to Shanks’ room (very grateful to the lack of presence because his instincts are screaming at him to get the chicks to the nest NOW and being seen will not help with that) so he gets to Shanks’ room to find that it is laundry day so he sets the Eyas down on the bed, tells them he will be right back and books it to the laundry room where he is finally seen, he gathers a bunch of bedding and soft blankets and at least one of shanks’ throw blankets that isn’t really dirty but hasn’t been washed yet and just leaves without acknowledging anybody, someone tells a cabin boy to tell Shanks that ‘Hey, Mihawk is here and he's nesting. jsyk’

So Shanks gets the call that Mihawk is here and nesting which is slightly concerning because Mihawk doesn’t really nest, and he can't ask Ben for advice because Ben left half an hour ago to check out Vegapunk’s thing. So he goes to his room to investigate, to which he finds Mihawk, in the middle of a nest of pillows and blankets and nestled right there next to him, are two tiny chicks, both with white hair and tan skin, one looks like Mihawk, and the other…. looks like him!

he gently shakes Mihawk out of his baby-bliss-napping and asks “as wonderful and as overjoyed I am,,,,, where’d you find these adorable babies?” Mihawk explains and Shanks says that he’ll be right back to join in the cuddles, he’s just gotta get Ben on the den den and tell them that they can come back because Mihawk already beat them to it.

@manofbeskar enjoy some baby acquisition.

[casually-salad]

Because you’ve genuinely have my interest, could u please share your Paula headcanons/takes?

YESSSS OMG!!!!

Okay so I talked about them a little bit on the notes of the first drawing of Paula I did back n forth with mega-mix and honestly it helped me kind of put together my thoughts because I was struggling to initially!! I do want to say though that I haven't interacted with the earthbound fandom a lot so I don't know how other people usually think about her - so I'm sorry if this is like . Kinda melodramatic?? Idk if I'm just like being crazy lol. I have a lot to say about her so here's everything under cut .

Also sorry for the delay I started the type this out last night but I got too tired and went to bed and then work was hell ToT

So just like! Paula is so interesting to me, the introduction of her just through small talk throughout onette and twoson really built her up to be this powerful character that a lot of people looked up to. The way how it seems like literally every single person put her on this pedestal - like how she was this all-powerful being almost angelic in nature... And then whenever it comes to the talk of her being kidnapped, I mean yeah it almost feels justified with how much she's talked up and how powerful and incredible she seems to be! And I really personally struggled getting to the Happy Happy village ALSO the second sanctuary being there too kind of made her seem even more so ya know?? But when you find her she's just another kid, she's scared and even though she seems to have some knowledge of what's going on this is like !! Still kinda scary for her!!!

And she may have incredible psychic powers but it's kind of almost scary the pedestal she's put on. She's treated more as like this force of nature or angel that is there to protect everyone! And I feel like it's doubly so with the magic she learns/has. She has the best offensive moves in the game, she learned some of them the quickest, she always packed the biggest punch, she was one of the fastest characters at least in my party and kind of the only one I actually used items on. But she has the lowest HP and by the end of the game she was constantly dying to almost a single hit or two. And for being this powerful yet so frail you would think she knows a healing spell?? But no.. the only one she has is PSI magnet to heal her PSI, not herself. The only thing she has to actually protect herself is a stuffed toy! Yet that falls apart too, just slightly slower than her.

Then there's some other stuff that happens in Twoson that I didn't mention. There's Everdred, who's this random criminal who knows what happens to her! And he seems care about her but blows off her kidnapping as something she could probably push through with how nonchalante is about her being kidnapped. But at least him to her is the stranger, it's not as bad as her parents. Her mom knows that she's been kidnapped and doesn't care, thinking she can take care of herself, and her dad doesn't even know!! I know it was probably intended to be like. kind of funny but it's so so sad! Your daughter, the talk of the town, is missing and EVERYONE but you knows??? That just feels downright neglectful. So what if she's capable of handling herself, why aren't either of them even remotely worried??? Paula is still a kid, and the happy happy cult is HUGE!!!!! Especially since pokey probably went in to stir up trouble there's no way no one else wouldn't have seen him, him leave, and him come back and take Paula except Everdred! It's clear Paula talks to her dad, I mean she told him about Ness! But like... Seeing as Paula has always had these powers how long would he have known? I'll get into it more in just a bit cuz I want to grip all those socks together.

And of course her using telepathy to initially contact Ness (( n Jeff later on of course )) kind of really added to that! She's the only character in the game that I think uses it (( unless you count giygas/ the mani mani statue but I'll get into that)) which makes me wonder if she had any other powers that just did not incorporate into gameplay and so we're not mentioned/ are implied I could've missed. And then her power of prayer, and to me that really kind of amplifies how much of like a god like pedestal she was put on. She's seen as a literal angel, one whose heavens shines down on, and with the way how she's talked about in her Town it seems like she is quite literally treated as one. rather than being a normal girl who wants to play with kids that are her age, and younger, she's like a holy figure sent down from the heavens to protect Twoson, and I really think her parents feed into that. Especially at the end of the game whenever she just wants to go home and be in normal kid, but I think that she knows even whenever she goes home now it won't be the same. She will never get to be that normal kid.. maybe that's why she likes taking care of the daycare students! While they all still look up to her and idolize her much like everyone else in her vicinity seems to do as well they are getting to live that childhood wonder it seems like she didn't get to have because she had to grow up quickly to keep her status as a town icon because every single person was relying on her. She had so much pressure from such a young age to perform, to use her PSI, to do good and to be this holy God like figure for them to look upon! She has to be the gifted girl, the Golden girl, a mother figure to the preschool students, a role model for her community, a guideline for her peers to follow so they will do good too, she has to be the salvation, she has to be the one to bring the party together the defeat giygas, she has to be powerful yet kind and sweet and caring, but she can't be a kid. And she never will get to be. And whenever she leaves she not only has to be all of that but she has to be the world savior too, she has to be the one to stop giygas too - she has to be the one that has to pray for everyone's help, she has to be the one who saves everything because that's what she was already doing. She was already compelled to it.

When the mani mani statue started to appear to her I think it was the reason why she knew Ness, I mean it had to be. And so she has almost conflicting ideals inside of her as well, cuz I imagine she wants to live up to that status she's been forcefully put on... Yet there's something evil inside of her, and part of me wonders if the statue compelled her to gather the chosen so that giygas could defeat them all at once? Although it shows up in Ness' Magicant and whenever I see it reference I mostly see it with him, that statue haunted her wherever she was, it's the reason why she was kidnapped and literally almost killed, it's the reason why she's kidnapped a second time, and I think her small reaction whenever it's been destroyed is her finally being released from the spell that it put on her.. and it really makes me wonder if she even wanted to go on this adventure. Was she just forced along because of the thing that was compelling her from the back of her mind? How long had she been fighting it trying to get it out in a way yet it just.. only grew stronger as a grew closer to her. I can't imagine how badly she just wanted to go home after it, how whenever she was freed from the spell she just wished it was a nightmare that she could escape from finally, that she could wake up and maybe she could be back in her room with a teddy bear and no powers. But even without the statue she doesn't have a choice anyways, everyone in her City is looking up to her and putting more power in her than ever before, and she can't let them down. she never has.

And so this is where I get into a lot of speculation and headcannon stuff that I didn't just read directly from the game. I kind of got into that in the paragraph above a tiny bit though I'm not going to lie these are kind of what I thought about her while I was playing the game, this is stuff that I've mostly configured after finishing it.

So firstly I want to start with her home life, and I think she really truly had a isolating one, although both of her parents clearly supported her PSI abilities, I don't think they supported her much at all outside of that. She has her own bedroom in the house which is pretty cool for her and all but I imagine that it's just another example on the way how both she's put on a pedestal - so important she gets the only bedroom in the house, more deserving than either of them, yet with how isolated she is because she's closed off from the rest of her family, the rest of the children and the preschool, the rest of the world. Judging by the reactions a lot of the adults had to nest and him whenever the game was over I can only imagine that's what Paula was dealing with her entire life. Any fears, doubts, or anxiety that came from her powers that she didn't want her parents kind of just shuffled aside and I think she's probably had these Powers her whole life like Ness. So she's probably been having nightmares for just as long. There had to have been so many nights where she woke up terrified that something was going to be after her, dreams of giygas and the death of everyone and everything, and I imagine her crying to her parents, and rather then treating them with the full sincerity and fear that she was feeling but just assumed that their daughter was powerful enough to deal with whatever was frightening her and let her go through it on her own. It's kind of implied that outside of the preschool and she doesn't have any friends at all, she's never had anyone hurt age, let alone with her abilities, that she could talk to her can fight and.. and even whenever she does meet Ness there's no way he could have understood how many years of pent up terror she had to have been going through. I imagine she's angry, and I wouldn't blame her to be, yet she doesn't have any way or outlet to express that... Her choice of weapon being a frying pan to me is significant because it's such a Hands-On battering weapon, not even the baseball bat feels as violent as it is. So spending her whole life terrified alone and angry she probably bottled up everything that she was going through, I mean she wouldn't want to crack the shell that every single person in her entire life had built up for her, not letting her choose. And I honestly think that even though she was scared whenever she was kidnapped, this might have been something she expected or even anticipated. And even though she had made contact with ness, I know you can sleep and she cries out for help again and.. but then she doesn't again. And I think she kind of just accepts her fate of being a sacrifice for the great, being basically a holy figure for her entire town what a fitting way to go out.

By the end of the game all she wants is to be a normal kid because this thing that's been in her head for her entire life is finally gone. I imagine it isn't until the end of the game, post game pass the credits that Paula would finally open up. I imagine she probably did not speak with any of the gang for a real long time... Only doing so whenever her nightmares come back, of course not as severe but they're still there. and although I think her and Jeff probably would be really good friends once they start talking again he wouldn't get what's going on because he doesn't have PSI, and poo is too busy (( and would be too far although I don't even know if her parents would notice her leaving again )) she confides a ness.

And.. I think primarily the reason why she wouldn't really end up opening up throughout most of the journey is because of him indirectly, much like she he has these psychic powers, but despite the pedestal that she was put on he shows up in the town and basically pushes her off of it almost.. his psychic powers are different, they aren't ones shared by the enemy they're his own. And I imagine she recontextualizes her PSI as something evil this whole time, and her worldview just kind of shatters. The holy gift she has, basically the only thing she has, is the thing that's been used for evil this whole time. I can imagine that for a while she would almost resent him, he has a mom who loves him, a dad who isn't quite there but it's still constantly checking in on him the making sure he gets rest, and what's worse is even she gets checked on by him and ness's mother. He was the one who was chosen by the meteorite basically, by a warning from the future to save the past, by something good... Well she's plagued of these visions of something evil. And throughout this whole journey Ness super easily with strangers and is able to help make them allies.. but if it was just her? She probably wouldn't be able to. And for all the years she had to suffer with visions and nightmares, when Ness has his and goes to Magicant he's met with comfort and care.. their friends listen to him and are worried about him, and she is too. And of course she is! And I think that hurts her, the fact that she cares so much because she cares about him! But don't hurt parents? I mean she had to explain to them everything but.. they didn't seem to show as much compassion as she had for her friend during his fight with something evil inside of him. And the resentments that she feels I know she probably hates herself for, cuz that's her letting the evil win, it's her recreating the hate that she sees around her. But I think whenever Ness wake up and he looks frantic for a moment, she sees herself as a child waking up and being terrified, and all she wants to do is to comfort herself, and she can kind of do so by comforting him.

after the end of everything, i imagine she can finally formulate a sense of self - reaching out to ness and opening up, and for the first time having SOMEONE who understands her, and how much hurt she had gone through for so long. I think finally she could really form a sense of self of her own, no longer puppeteered by another force but rather being free for the first time. I really hope that no longer burdened by her duties she can finally play with the kids her age, live freely and as her self. sure she still has her PSI, but its a part of her, not a force of angelic power, and all of her praying would have finally paid off.

And also I do kind of think it's interesting how much the idea that her and Ness are dating kind of almost pushed on immediately as soon as he makes a girl friend. There's a lot of stuff I have to think about in this game whenever it comes to adults not listening to kids, their feelings their fears and their worries, but this is just another example of it, and another example of Paula's agency being taken away from her. she didn't get to the side if they were dating or not ((and neither did Ness)) . Jeff says it of course, but throughout the whole game you have ness's mom who tries to push that label on to them whenever they literally just met, as well as her own father. In the clarify I don't have any problem with them being shipped I just think it's kind of interesting that she never had the agency to decide if that's something that she wanted explicitly in text.

And so like, those are kind of some of my thoughts I have on her right now, I definitely want to replay the game again and think about it more from her perspective for sure I actually started mother 1 today so I plan on finishing that and hopefully mother 3 before I do so again... She's really a tragic character to me, and there's nothing more that I want for her than for her to be okay, I wanted her to be a kid again, I want her to be happy.. and the conversation I've been having in the post I mentioned at the beginning they had mentioned PSI leaving the Earth with giygas and although I don't think that's what happened I think a world where Paula can live power free and no longer burdened by them and she can truly be a kid for the first time in her life is really nice.. I love her a lot, and she was easily the most impactful character from the game.

I'm so sorry if this is not what you were prepared for, and if this is too rambly and it doesn't make any sense - doubly so if anyone that follows me reads this because I know 90% of the people who do are here for my My Little pony horror stuff, but I think Paula is going to stick with me for a very very long time and I'm glad that she isn't cast aside for the other characters like I was worried she might be whenever I started actually looking at fan art and stuff. I don't really know how to end this, but I do genuinely really appreciate the ask a whole lot.

I'm bored so here

Watching Steven Universe blind ( EP 1-10)

Things I do know!

Rose Quartz is Pink Diamond (I don't know what this means though)

Diamonds are evil or something similar to that (I don't know what diamonds are or who)

Garnet is a Fusion

Pearl loves Rose Quartz and was her maid or smth

3 songs: Peace and Love, Change your mind, and Love like you

And that's all!

(No episode 1 because I watched that years ago and remember it not being important or anything I think)

Season 1 Episode 2

Rose Quartz really does love Stevens dad (Greg I think) if she made that stupid saying the activation for her cannon

Pearl being dismissive the Greg because he doesn't seem all that put together

Why was rose Quartz in beach city anyways?

Steven is such a little kid and it's very endearing

They didn't explain what that eye thing is?

Also I am not sure what this universe is are the gems aliens?? Does the whole earth know about them or are they kinda secrets only to this city?

Rating 6/10

Season 1 Episode 3

Mailman guy is silly "that's reasonable"

Steven did not pack the spire thing I just knew it from the start

Also I guess they clarified that gems used to be on Earth but then they left for some reason

I do know (I think) the inconsistent models of the characters are something some people complain about. I do think it's off putting at times and looks strange but it hasn't been too distracting yet

I'm very pearl like I think, high strung so knowing that they didn't save the spire because Steven forgot the most important thing does kinda irritate me but I do think that this is a good lesson for kids overall

Rating 5/10

Season 1 Episode 4

Ok I'll be that "adult who watches a kids show" party pooper and say Steven annoyed the hell outta me this episode

Did they say how old he is? Because honestly I can't tell if he supposed to be 10-12 because he acts even younger like a 6-8 year old

We are getting more world building with the introduction of the temple which is really cool but we didn't get to see garnets which I'm sad about. I like the design of what we saw so far though

Also I take back what I said about being like Pearl she is a bit too control freak for me, I'm perhaps more like Garnet with my seriousness.

Again are these monster things from earth, other universes, other planets or what?

Also I would not eat Together breakfast because I hate a lot of syrup not do I like popcorn with sweet things

Rating 4/10

Season 1 Episode 5 Frybo

Holy shit? This was giving very gravity falls (which I only ever watched 1 season of)

The ketchup excuse for what was essentially a bloody reanimated monster was a bit wild

Also a naked Steven, maybe it's me but I found it a little weird just cuz it's not that funny of a joke to me

Again with Steven annoying me, because like Steven you knew that it was Pearls and you were just gonna give it away??

The commentary on jobs was a little silly to me, definitely introducing the idea to kids that working a job sucks the joy out of life and honestly I don't really think we should be concluding commentary on real world things like that. I think that could be explored better later on maybe by checking in on that fry kid and his family business again.

Also I noticed that one character with stretched earlobes. I do know that his name is Lars and people dislike him because he is a bully I think. Will be very interesting to see what he contributes to the story.

Overall I have very mixed feelings about this episode

Rating 4/10

Season 1 Episode 6 Cat Fingers

Political Favors, like what exactly Mr.Universe

So why doesn't Steven live with his Dad? Is it because the van is too small?

This is some insane body horror oh my God the way that they had to make the cat faces themselves look cute but the concept is genuinely terrifying

I love Garnet's faith in Steven. Nothing really advancing the plot beside Steven learning a new ability

Rating 7/10

Season 1 Episode 7 Bubble Buddies

Are the crystal gems the only ones on Earth?

Wait I am familiar with one more character, the girl Connie. I know that she and Steven combine sometimes but I don't know how, why or when?

Connie is so cute and I would related a lot to her as a kid

Lars is just a regular annoying teen

These two just cost that boat owner thousands of dollars in damages

Being trapped at the bottom of the ocean my greatest nightmare.

I really enjoy Connie so far, willing to go along with the madness but also standing her ground when things are too overwhelming. Also Steven saving the bracelet is so so adorable. I love this relationship and I can't wait to see how it developes

Rating 9/10

Season 1 Episode 8 Serious Steven

Another irresponsible Steven episode but this time that's the point

I seriously love and admire Garnet's patience and faith in Steven

I don't have many thoughts on this episode, it was just ok. It's about Steven recognizing Ben things may be too much for him to handle and being able to admit that; a good lesson for kids

Rating 6/10

Season 1 Episode 9 Tiger Millionaire

Amethyst focused episode which just made me realize I barely talked about her.

I love the gimmick of tiger Millionaire as a wrestling persona but definitely understand the "getting to into it" aspect they are going for

Pearl just had the worst way with words but I just

I LOVE Garnet down, going with the flow

Season 1 Episode 10 Steven's Lion

Gems don't need sleep? Do they not eat, poop, etc then?

STEVEN'S PREGNANT 😭

Once again for how highstrung Pearl is, she doesn't actually take too many precautions with magical items with Steven around

So they keep the lion?? I never seen merch of this lion thing before unless I have and didn't associate it with Steven Universe.
