Diabolik Lovers GRAND EDITION for Switch ;; More, Blood ー Kou [Manservant Ending]

ー The scene starts on the balcony of the Mukami manor

Kou: ...Love, huh?

Are these feelings I harbor for her, love...?

Sometimes it’s painful, yet warm and comforting...

...I see. I am sure that love is just as pretty as the blue sky.

*TIMESKIP*

ー The scene shifts to the hallway at school

Subaru: ...So you’ve decided you won’t return?

Yui: Yes...Sorry.

Subaru: You don’t need to apologize. I don’t give a damn ‘bout you after all.

I only asked ‘cause Ayato and the others are fuckin’ annoyin’ with their constant whinin’.

Kou: ーー Yui!

Yui: Ah...Kou-kun.

Subaru: ...Haah. He’s one of those annoyin’ bastards as well. I’m leavin’.

ー Subaru steps away

Kou: ...What were you talking about?

Yui: Nothing important. ...Are you mad?

Kou: ...I’m not. I’m...no longer my old self.

Yui: Yeah, you’re right.

( Kou-kun trusts me. That’s why it’s fine. )

( After all, now we’ve realized that we’re connected through a strong bond. )

Kou: ...Let’s head home, Yui. I want you...as soon as possible.

Yui: ...Yeah, sure.

*TIMESKIP*

ー The scene shifts to Kou’s room

Kou: Nn...Hah...! Give me...more of your blood?

Yui: ...Ah...

Kou: ...This isn’t enough, not at all. Give me more, more...Say, Yui...You don’t mind, do you...?

Yui: Go ahead...As much as you’d like.

Kou: ...I won’t hold back then. Nn...Phew...!

Yui: ( It hurts...However, I’m sure this is a sign of Kou-kun’s love as well. )

( When I look at it like that, I can take any pain...After all, I finally realized that I love you. )

Kou: ...This is in the way...!

Yui: Eh...?

ー Kou cuts her

Yui: Ah...!!

( He cut through my skin with a knife...! )

Kou: It gets in the way...Anything which separates us should just disappear! Whether it’s your skin, your flesh or even your blood...!

Yui: Ow...!! It hurts...!

Kou: ...!

ー Kou steps back

Kou: I’m sorry, Yui...! I...

Yui: No...It’s okay...I’m fine.

Kou: How could you be fine...You’re bleeding this much...Does it hurt?

Yui: This much is fine...After all, you did this because you love me, right?

In that case, I can endure it...

Kou: ...

...I’ll go get some bandages.

ー He walks away

Yui: ( ...I don’t need those though. )

( As long as Kou-kun licks my wounds... )

ー The scene shifts to the hallway

*THUD*

Kou: ...Fuck...!

Is this love...? This nauseating feeling of my stomach twisting and turning? This is love?

Being at someone’s mercy, having them torment you as they please, is a sign of love...?

...Then were those things done to me all out of love as well? Does that imply all of those people loved me?

...Uu...!

ー The scene shifts to the bathroom

Kou: Cough...Hah...!

...I feel sick...

So love was never a pretty thing to begin with...!? This is just nasty!

Uu! Cough...Cough...Hah, haah...

...I don’t want it...

If this is love, I...

*TIMESKIP*

ー Yui is walking through the hallway

Yui: ( Ever since last night’s happening, Kou-kun hasn’t returned. I wonder if he feels sick? )

Ah, Kou-kun. Good morning. Where were you yesterday?

Kou: ...

Yui: ( Huh? Did he not hear me? )

Kou-kun?

Kou: Ah, hey, hey, Yuma-kun. About the homework we got yesterday.

Yuma: Ah? Ya really think I did that crap?

Kou: Should have figuredー I was just asking.

More importantly, she’s calling for ya. Can ya really ignore her?

Kou: Eh? Who’s ‘she’?

Yuma: The Sow. She’s been callin’ out yer name from behind ya this whole time!

Kou: Are you exhausted, Yuma-kun? Don’t say such spooky things, geez!

...There’s nobody here?

Yui: ...!

Kou: Oh well. Guess I’ll have to copy it from one of the girls in my class.

And therefore, I’m going to school early today, okay? I’m offー (1)

ー Kou runs away

Yuma: ...The fuck was that? Oi, Sow. What’s goin’ on?

Yui: Don’t ask me...!

Ruki: ...Things have become troublesome again.

Yui: Ruki-kun...! What was that just now...?

Ruki: Let me be blunt. To summarize, you no longer exist in his eyes.

...I suppose Kou was simply not ready yet. He could not control his feelings for you within himself.

Yui: That’s why he ignores me? That’s just too...!

Ruki: Now that things have reached this stage, we can no longer expect anything from him. Either way, he could not become Adam.

There is no point in you remaining here. Nobody will stop you if you want to leave this manor. Be my guest.

ー Ruki steps away

Yui: ( No way...So they’re done with me? )

( Both this family...As well as Kou-kun. )

That’s just too cruel...

( ...No, I’m sure this is just temporary. If I just act as I always have, I’m sure the Kou-kun I’ve known and love will return... )

( Right, Kou-kun...? )

*TIMESKIP*

ー The scene shifts to the living room

Yui: Kou-kun! Are you hungry?

Kou: ...

Yui: I brought you a plate of vongole bianco. You like this, right? Won’t you have a bite?

Kou: ...

Yui: ...I’ll leave it here, so please try it if you’d like, okay?

ー The scene shifts to the kitchen

Yui: ( He won’t even look at me...Almost as if I really don’t exist. )

( Why would he go that far? Didn’t he love me? )

...Say...Why? Kou-kun...

*TIMESKIP*

ー The scene shifts to the hallway at school

Female student A: Ah, Kou-kun! You came to school today!

Female student B: We were lonely because you’ve seemed so busy as of late.

Kou: Fufu, my bad! My workload increased, you see.

Female student A: Do you have time today? If you are, why don’t we drop by the karaoke booth together? I want to hear you sing!

Kou: Yeah, sure! Let’s all go then! Perhaps I should reveal my new song~

Female student B: Really!? I’m so excitedー!

Yui: ...

*TIMESKIP*

ー The scene shifts to the living room

Kou: I’m backー Oh.

Ruki: You’ve been coming home late these past days. You haven’t been up to no good, right?

Kou: I’m only hanging out with some girls. Don’t worry, we’re not crossing any lines~ (2)

Ruki: ...Kou. Are you really okay with this?

Kou: What do you mean?

Ruki: Don’t play dumb. I’m talking about Yui.

Yuma: She’s still stickin’ ‘round. We no longer need her so she’s honestly an eyesore.

Azusa: I feel a little bad for her...However, that’s also kind of nice, right...?

Ruki: She refuses to leave this house unless you reject her directly.

She continues to cling onto a sliver of hope that ‘maybe, just maybe’ or ‘perhaps one day’. Just like we did in the past.

Having to hand her over to those guys leaves a bad taste in my mouth, but we are in no position to hog Eve for ourselves when we cannot become Adam.

After all, by doing so, we would be an obstacle to that man’s wish.

Kou: ...So you want me to tell her? To go to the Sakamaki’s place?

Yuma: If ya do that, I’m sure she’ll give up.

Kou: But...If I do that, she might die, you know? Eve has to stay alive, right?

Azusa: ...It might be too late already.

Yuma: Ah? Whatcha mean, Azusa?

Azusa: I can...faintly smell her. A lovely scent...of her blood overflowing.

Kou: From where!?

Azusa: Outside, probably...I don’t know the exact location.

ー Kou rushes outside

Kou: Fuck...! Where!? Where are you!? Yui!

...The scent...of her blood...! This way!?

ー The scene shifts to the sewers

Yui: ...

Kou: ...Yui!!

*Rustle*

Kou: No way, oi...! Why are you covered in blood...!!?

Yui! Open your eyes!

Yui: ...Kou-kun...?

Kou: ...Yui, thank god you’re okay...!

What are you doing here!? Also, where does all this blood come fromーー!?

*Cling*

Yui: ーー Fufu, caught you.

Fufu...Say, does it bring back memories? You used to live in this sorta place in the past, right?

Hey, do you remember? What you said before.

You said ‘You love me, so don’t just casually talk to other people’, right?

Yet, you’re always smiling while talking to other girls.

You love me, don’t you? Then I have the right to say the exact same thing to you, no?

Kou: Yui, you...

Yui: Fufu, you finally looked my way.

Say, gaze at me with your right eye like you always do? ...What do you see?

Kou: ...I can’t see anything.

Yui: Ahaha, liar~! You should see it crystal clear.

...Aah, right. I suppose love isn’t something you see with your eyes. That’s why you don’t know either.

Say, Kou-kun. You love me. You simply haven’t realized that yet.

So...Okay? I’ll make you realize it.

You poor little thing who does not know love, I’ll teach you what a human’s love means.

Kou: ...Love is dirty. I don’t want it.

Yui: Dirty? No way! Love is pure and beautiful, you know?

Kou: How could it be pure...If it triggers such horrible, painful memories, I’d rather not know love at all.

Yui: ...My poor, ignorant Kou-kun.

But you know...Fufu, do you understand? Even if you’re like that, there’s still someone out there who loves you.

Say...? Don’t you think love is wonderful after all?

Kou: ...It’s ugly. Both love...and how you’re acting right now.

Yui: Fufu...

ー The screen fades to black

Yui: I love you, Kou-kun.

ーー THE END ーー

original pacrim and rec post here / my pacrim and rec tag hereaah glad you liked the first one! I can’t decide if this is an AU or if it’s a slightly wonky, wholesome prequel to the first movie. scenes from both episodes after the read more!(ps if anyone else wants to send in prompts you can do so literally whenever n i will get to it when I can. prompts can be for episode descriptions or uh bonus scenes I guess!)COMPLEX NUMBERSWhen medical says Newton and Hermann need to “relax and do literally anything else at least once a week” because they “might die of stress or something at this rate,” Newton tries to organize a music group. Hermann decides to take a stab at the Riemann hypothesis.

PI DAYTendo and Mako plan a Pi Day party for the K-Scientists after a particularly hard week. Newton and Hermann struggle to meet a deadline.

scene from Complex Numbers

INT. NEWTON’S DORMITORY - NIGHT

Newton sits on the bed idly strumming an acoustic guitar. Across from him is a desk, also covered in papers, and a chair. An electric keyboard is crammed into the corner. The floor is covered in fliers that have slid off the top of a stack by the bed. There’s a knock on the door.

NEWTONYeah?MARSHALL PENTECOSTDr. Geizsler?Newton scrambles to get up and open the door. The MARSHALL enters and glances around. If he’s dismayed by the general chaos, he doesn’t say, although he does gently nudge a few fliers to the side with his foot.NEWTONOh, uh, I’m sorry, I uh, didn’t know it was you? Sorry, did I forget a report or something because usually Herms tells me when a report is due, and he didn’t mention it today, and-MARSHALL PENTECOSTNewton.Newton stops talking, starts to say something else, and then closes his mouth.

MARSHALL PENTECOSTI thought you were supposed to be running some sort of music class right now?NEWTON(dismissively) Yeahhh, that. Well, it wasn’t, uh, really a class. It was just for hanging out. You know, building morale or whatever. Just didn’t work out today.MARSHALL PENTECOST(He nods.) What kind of guitar is that?NEWTONOh, this little thing? Yeah, it’s only a Seagull I got from my dad. Awesome guitar. MARSHALL PENTECOSTDo you mind if I play?NEWTON(He gapes for a moment before gathering himself and speaking quickly) Do I- You want to- You want to play? I mean, yeah, no, I don’t mind. I uh, have the keyboard set up too if you want to jam a little?Newton hands over the guitar and goes to turn on the keyboard that’s against the wall.MARSHALL PENTECOST(takes the guitar and sits down in the chair by the desk) I would like to jam a little.

scene from PI DAY

INT. CONFERENCE ROOM C - DAYMAKO, TENDO, and CHUCK are hiding behind the conference table. Chuck is holding MAX, who is wearing a paper party hat. On the table is an uneven looking cake labeled HAPPY PI DAY!! with a crude pi symbol drawn underneath the wording. A few balloons have been tied to one of the table legs. Construction paper has been taped together to make a banner that proclaims HAPPY PIE DAY! that is decorated with bad drawings of actual pies.NEWTON and HERMANN enter, looking disheveled and sleep deprived. Hermann’s sweater is unusually wrinkled. Newton actually looks about the same as he usually does, but the bags under his eyes are more pronounced.

NEWTONSo, dudes, we don’t have a lot of time, so if we can just cut this meeting short-

Mako, Tendo, and Chuck all yell SURPRISE. Newton and Hermann are visibly startled. Newton glances behind him to make sure they aren’t directing this at someone else.HERMANNUm, this is a surprise party?NEWTONNo, Hermann, it’s a meeting- Yes, it’s a surprise party! For uh, Pi Day, apparently? Aw, guys.

Mako hugs them. MAKOYou two have been working so hard! We thought you deserved a break.TENDOWe picked a Pi Day theme because you’re nerds.Hermann is peering nervously at the cake in the background.NEWTONDude, this is so cool. You made a cake! Even though the banner says pie! You know that’s the wrong kind of pie, though, right? Like, it’s not the food kind of pie.TENDOChuck made the banner.

NEWTONOh, yeah, follow up question: Why is Chuck here?CHUCKCake.MAKOAlso because he cares! I’m joking. He’s here because I wanted him to bring Max.NEWTONValid. HERMANNAh, yes, this is um, very nice. Why is today Pi Day? Is that a real day?NEWTONDude, you’re literally a mathematician. Three fourteen. March fourteenth. Did your university do nothing fun ever?HERMANNThey may have. I didn’t socialize.

NEWTONI know.HERMANNWait, the fourteenth? That’s impossible. That would make today Wednesday.TENDOYeah, uh, today is Wednesday. How- How long have you guys been awake?Newton and Hermann stare at each other with a look of horror slowly crossing their face.NEWTON(panicked) Today is Wednesday. (more urgently) Today is Wednesday.HERMANNWe have to go. We still have- (glances at his watch) Oh god, it’s already one o’clock.NEWTONThat’s still four hours! (looking at the others, but he’s already gathering up Hermann and pushing him out the door) Uh, guys, this was really nice, and like, I’m actually really touched. Uh, save us some cake?Newton and Hermann run off. Tendo takes a sip of his coffee.TENDODo we have to save cake for them? They didn’t even go to the party.MAKOYES.

[icy-hott]

Aah! 🙌🏿 Wow okay I do agree with the second perspective concept, as I think approaching endeavor's change/redemption to that of shouto or deku isnt right because the kids started from a mildly wholesome beginning whereas endeavor clearly did not (or at least in assumptions) so maybe i didn't think that all the way through in my interpretation. I guess because endeavor is a whole ass adult I expected him to get his shit together after shouto's incident and he didn't so I'm just mad overall (but that's another story..)

but do you really think it's necessary for rei and endeavor to rekindle?? I'm still against the whole forgiveness thing because I'm stubborn and I want rei to reclaim her own purpose as an individual outside of endeavor's world. But if it does follow the path of them "getting back together", I hope it's not fluffy and quick. like there needs to be some fucking drama like shouto needs to set a bed on fire in rage or somethin

Any simple rekindling or acceptance of "I love you let's move on" would seem stockholm syndrome-y, no?? I hope thats not the plan; to reduce rei to that kind of character. I really want rei to heal.

UNLESS THATS A FUCKING PLOT DEVICE. that would truly be wild if horikoshi set up all of his just to cut off their relationship at the brink of true bond and trust just to have endeavor die !!?

(also I'd love to hear your thoughts about the todosiblings)

i have an issue

Okay, so I think we knew that this is Endeavor Redemption Arc was comin for a while now. Lot of us don’t like it, some do. I feel like I’m the type of person who’s like “FUCK ENDEAVOR HE’S TRASH” because I feel like he doesn’t really deserve to redeem himself as a hero externally because I know he’s not one internally (i.e. behaviors/relationships with his family, jealousy of all might) but let’s move swiftly along..

and clearly in this first panel, we see that natsuo is on the same page as me. maybe not as aggressive as me but you know what I mean. natsuo is relaying this info to his mom for a reason, as a reminder that his hero status and his personality will never be rectified

and as the one who probably went through the most abuse (rei), he’s essentially saying that she should not be swayed by his success. he’s also implying that endeavor does feel some guilt (“he doesn’t appear on talk shows”). originally, I thought that was because endeavor was a closed-off asshole, but maybe it’s to avoid any and all questions about his family because he knows what he did but the world doesn’t

also, the fact that rei has been in the hospital for 10 years is fucking wild. i really don’t want to believe in my heart that endeavor just dropped his wife and mother of his children in a hospital to rot for 10 years in isolation but unfortunately that was the reality and it makes me sick. I’m sure his external reason was “well she burned my son so she’s insane she needs help” but internally is was probably “this woman ruined my one chance to have an aesthetically perfect offspring”. I feel like this is very much possible because of previous chapters expressing endeavor’s obsession with producing a perfect kid with a perfect quirk. also it’s very obvious (thanks to natsuo) that endeavor wanted to forget about rei hence putting her in a space where he couldn’t see her would help with that guilt.

natsuo continues to backup his reason for never forgiving endeavor in a bullet point list:

terrible treatment to us (kids)

terrible treatment to you (rei)

non-existent behavior towards rei and shouto

never apologised for his actions

I personally feel like natsuo’s feelings are completely justified because everything he said is true. He witnessed this shit first hand and he knows that endeavor is leaving his family behind in order to escape from his past actions.

okay THE ROOT OF THE FUCKING ISSUE IS HERE

when rei says “that’s wrong” - this fucks me all the way up. even after natsuo just said all that stuff, rei is essentially like “I understand what you’re saying, but he’s different BECAUSE OF A FLOWER”

here’s where the argument for the relationship between women and victimization comes in. in many stereotypical cisgender storylines, the woman gets hurt by the man. the man tries to redeem himself by giving a trash reason, gift, etc. the woman interprets said reason, gift, etc. as an opportunity to forgive all the man’s wrongdoings and they fall back in love or whatever the fuck.

essentially this is what horikoshi is setting up. rei, because even though she’s been through the worst, she can see the light of hope inside of endeavor and the flower and secret visits is proof, therefore making her the outsider opinion (in theory) in her own family. everybody knows that the kids don’t like or trust endeavor, yet rei is the one outwardly disagreeing with natsuo because of endeavor’s actions currently. Like she’s willingly ready to forget everything he did and move on like none of that shit was traumatizing in the least. I think all of this is happening for the wrong reasons. we see the signs “I’m too afraid to face him” “my doctor thought it was a bad idea”

So why attempt to rekindle the relationship now in light of all these things?? her own children are shocked to the fact that endeavor would visit their mom because they know he’s not that kind of person!

but no, ever since a couple chapters ago, when he had his fucking epiphany did he realize that maybe he should start treating his family better when he had to step up to the plate to be #1 hero.

but it’s too late for that shit, bro. the reason this redemption arc gets me so hurt is because we know endeavor don’t deserve that shit and now the one person (rei) who should be the most angry and sad at him, is not. so now it’s like a weird twisted justification that makes everything okay but it doesn’t.

now this whole “just watch me” phrase is the center of endeavor’s redemption because now it’s a message to not just the world or hero society, but his family too (according to the last panel).

summary:

HE SHOULD ALREADY HAVE BEEN VISITING REI IN THE HOSPITAL

HE SHOULD ALREADY HAVE BEEN BRINGING HER BUCKETLOADS OF FLOWERS

HE SHOULD ALREADY HAVE BEEN APOLOGIZED TO REI

STOP REWARDING ENDEAVOR FOR SHIT HE ALREADY SHOULD’VE BEEN DOING IN THE PAST.

*GLOMPS AND STAYS HUGGED TO YOUR HEAD*

CIRO BUDDY MY FRIEND, HI AGAIN!!!

I’m sorry I didn’t reply on Saturday night; the maccoonie had already gone to bed. And sunday was horrible regarding energy omg i was so low on it? And by the time I gathered some it was already almost 11 pm for you, so I felt a bit bad of how late it was and I thought maybe it was better if I replied today ahahha aah ;w; Sorry I took so long, buddy, and thank you for waiting so patiently!!

Edit: Zomg, I tried to have this done for yesterday and I FAILED OTL  So 1 extra day of thank you for waiting aah ;w;

But anyways

CIROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!( ´ ▽ ` )

I’m so, so, so happy to see you around once more, buddy!! Always a joy and a pleasure to read from you aklsjddjagsklgj THIS ASK IS AS LOVELY AS ANY OTHER FROM YOU AND THAT MAKES ME SO HAPPY AAAAH

No worries about being negative, we all are every now and then!ヽ(・ω・)ﾉ

Also note something important, buddy, 

when I say we’re not allowed to be negative here, I don’t mean we can’t vent or talk about sad things or be sad.

That’s wonderful!! Because we’re feeling. And to drop by to vent or share something sad, even that is positive in its own way, because you’re trusting something personal with  me, and trust is something so beautiful. And venting helps to clean the heart and help it, and it also allows me to give you a virtual hug, so wherever you see, even sharing something sad is positive in its own way!!

What I mean with not being allowed to be negative, it’s just about how we talk about ourselves, am I right?

You can be sad and struggling, but, at least here in racc’s lair, you’re not allowed to think you’re a bother, or not interesting, or anything bad. Each time we’re in racc’s lair, we’re all nice, and beautiful, and kind, and a good person that loves and is loved, and is worth it, and is valuable and valued. 

At least I see you that way!! I think you’re wondeful and a good hooman and that’s what matters, okay? Don’t you go around thinking or saying otherwise, at least not here, aye? And if you can’t help it, share it and I’ll convince you otherwise, you’ll see! ( ´ ▽ ` )

But anyways, yeah! That’s what I meant!!

I’m so sorry to hear that you weren’t doing so great at the time you messaged me. (｡•́︿•̀｡)  It’s so bad that Life Stuff happens sometimes, I wish I could do something to help. But I’m happy that I managed to make you smile even if just a little!! :D

That’s like, mission accomplished, aah. I’m happy to know you felt a little better after my reply, that’s so nice to know! Thank you!! ٩(◕‿◕)۶

AKLSJDAGJ AKLDFJAS KLJFSAKLJ GAKLSJD AKLSGJADKL FAJDF

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW

CIROOOOOOOOOOOO!! (/▽＼*)

You don’t need to make something for me to be kind to me, really!! As I said, it’s fine if you want to make something but don’t you feel like it’s the only way to show me kindness or something, alrighty? Because the mere fact that you decidd to drop in and talk with me, that’s super sweet and kind already!! Not everyday does anyone offer you their friendship, and each time we talk you’re SUPER kind and super sweet with me!!! You’re ALREADY making me something kind, you’ve been super nice with me, buddy!! ( ˙꒳​˙ )

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASPS

YOU WRITE AND DRAW!?!?!?!?!(☆▽☆)

CIRO THAT IS SUPER AMAZING AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH o(≧▽≦)o

YOU WRITE AND DRAW OH MY, THAT IS SO AMAZING AND SO AWESOME, I BET THAT YOUR STUFF IS SUPER AMAZING AND THAT YOU’RE INCREDIBLE AT BOTH THINGS HOLY SHIT, YOU DRAW AND WRITE THAT IS SO EXCITING AKLSJDAKJDG AKLGDJS 

Honestly, Ciro, EVERYONE who has ever said “I’m not very confident about my art/writing” and then show me are LIARS KLAJSKLDJGKDALFJALKJ

What I mean is, I bet you’re AMAZING and you just don’t realize it!! Did you know it’s a real thing? That every creator won’t EVER be able to see the real size and beauty of their creation because you saw the whole process, so there where the public only sees the sculpture, you STILL see the block of stone badly shaped and not nearly half-done. 

So your brain is “Yo. We like. We need to finish it, ya know, it looks hideous…” but the thing is IT’S ALREADY COMPLETE!!! You just don’t see it because it takes so long to create something, your brain keeps the image of what it looked like as incomplete, so you literally can’t see the real size and weight of the final result as the public does. 

So just know that, dear Ciro!! I won’t tell you to go ahead and write or draw/paint anything if you’re not confident about it, but I do tell you that I know for sure you’re much, much better than you think you are. And I know that as a fact!! 

Still, no pressures, dear Ciro. Art in any form is a very intimate and personal thing, and we all have struggled with showing it to others or not, and it’s okay if we don’t! I won’t force or pressure you to do something you’re not comfortable with or still don’t have the confidence for. That’s okay, buddy, you take your time to gather the courage and confidence that you need, however long it takes. No one is pressuring you, alrighty? ( ˙꒳​˙ )

I know you’re amazing, but I also understand if you don’t have the confidence. There there, buddy, just keep making art and enjoying of it!! (ノ_

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

ABSOLUTELY NO WORRIES ABOUT THE COFFEE, BUDDY!! 

No worries there! I understand many of us around here are broke, we all have our reasons and such, and it’s very common nowadays, so no worries! That would really be a good tip if someone has any spare cents that they want to give me, but I won’t die without it, so that’s okay! The money I get from there, I’d spend in tiny personal likes and such because I myself don’t have any income and I’m too shy to ask from my parents lately hgnhnfghfg but that’s okay!

As I said, I don’t need it. So while it would be nice to receive a coffee, it’s really just an extra!! And not everyone has spare cents to give. I myself wish I could give ko-fis to all those artists and authors I like, but I can’t, aaaw ;n; 

So I really, really understand the struggle and no worries, mah boy Ciro! The mere intention is faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar more than enough for me, I’m SUPER FLATTERED AND HONORED that you thought about it!!! AAAAAAAAAAH *SQUEAKS LOUDLY* THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! That you thought about giving me real money is really…so beyond me and means A LOT!! THANK YOOOOOOOOOOOOU!!!  o(≧▽≦)o

Gremlins

Welcome to the 'highglossfinish' room. thenightetc: What... is this Knock Out: Excellent question. BBB: ö---ö thenightetc: That sure is a necklace he has there. Knock Out: It sure does exist. Knock Out: If the humans of Toronto have to live with this, so do you. BBB: good that I dont have to hear him.... seing that is already haunting enough..... Ö_ö Knock Out: Is the sound not working? thenightetc: It's working for me. thenightetc: Ahhhh, a nice wholesome christmas movie :) BBB: it surely is, I just can't turn it on at work.... could wake up a co worker ;P Knock Out: That would require some explaining. thenightetc: ...You know, considering what happens later in the movie, I would think that nearly everyone in the city has a story a LOT like this one.  Only with less explanation. Knock Out: ...When you're right, you're right. thenightetc: oh god. BBB: nothings better than greamlins at a dead nigh shift :D thenightetc: Always Be Closing

thenightetc: a tarantula! :D thenightetc: He should have gotten that instead.  Kids love spiders Knock Out: The town probably wishes he'd gotten him the spider, too. thenightetc: Right? Knock Out: I like how his idea of responsibility is locking it up in a box and leaving it where people can see. thenightetc: Right with all the stuff that IS for sale. thenightetc: Maybe the kid should have explained the other two rules. BBB: Well the ddad is not better... buying his son a present? SURE go for the shady chines guy with the strange things XD" Knock Out: Or should lied and said "It will die if you do any of these things." thenightetc: I mean, "don't feed him after midnight" is one thing, "if you feed him after midnight he will literally turn into a chaotic evil horrobeast" is another Knock Out: *Straight up thenightetc: Yeah, but then when he DID get wet and didn't die from it, they'd have known he lied. Knock Out: At that point, what does it matter? thenightetc: They might decide to test the other rule! Starscreamapillar: What is all this then? Knock Out: True. thenightetc: ...On the other hand, I wonder if the kid didn't know the reasons for the last two rules, either. Knock Out: Gremlins! thenightetc: Guy buys his kid a pet at a dodgy store with mysterious rules surrounding it, then everything goes bad. Starscreamapillar: I see. Mysterious pet rules rarely bode well. BBB: but honestly.... tell a kid 'dont do that your pet might multiply AND/OR turn into a monster' might get things just sped up... like.... kids aint smart agoodidstraction: what did i miss thenightetc: "Keep him out of bright light; he hates it and sunlight will kill him.  And keep him away from water and don't feed him after midnight, for reasons I'm not going to tell you." thenightetc: It might have made the guy think twice about buying it in the first place, though. thenightetc: Nobody wants to buy their kid a pet that'll turn into a literal monster! Starscreamapillar: And if you cannot sell a monster to some unsuspecting sucker, then what is even the point? thenightetc: Well, the store owner told him it wasn't for sale.  It was the store owner's grandkid who, suspiciously, got it for him. thenightetc: What the *** is her problem, anyway. Starscreamapillar: I am fairly certain torturing animals to death is not legal. thenightetc: You know from the way the dog just went after her, I have to figure she's been mistreating him in some way already. Starscreamapillar: Likely. BBB: THAT TV..... Starscreamapillar: I am going to predict those swords will be used later to hack up the consequences of poor decisions. thenightetc: Honestly, after the FIRST time that happened, I'd have mounted the swords more securely agoodidstraction: what kind of ant is that thenightetc: god it's like a Furby Starscreamapillar: So it is.... thenightetc: ...Hang on.  He can talk Starscreamapillar: What horror cannot? thenightetc: And he was just being kept as a pet? Knock Out: Oh no. He was being kept in a box in the corner. agoodidstraction: can other ants talk too?? thenightetc: God no. Knock Out: There's no proving they can't. thenightetc: These are purely fictional. agoodidstraction: ants are fictional? thenightetc: These aren't ants. agoodidstraction: that looks exactly like an ant Starscreamapillar: Not enough limbs for an ant. thenightetc: Are you kidding, he looks nothing like an ant. agoodidstraction: like a sugar ant mixed with a snow ant Starscreamapillar: . . . . Knock Out: Sugar snow. Sounds edible. agoodidstraction: Yum thenightetc: That seems like more juice and pulp than one orange should have. Thebes: Hello--oh, hey, Gremlins! thenightetc: Yes! Starscreamapillar: Did he not warn the child about the weird monster in his bed? thenightetc: yikes, that looks... painful. Thebes: well somethimes fantastical creatures in movies come with only just enough warnings to make ignoring those warnings sound like no big deal thenightetc: Uh oh thenightetc: STripe. Starscreamapillar: If they breed this easily, why is Earth not over-run? agoodidstraction: uhhhhhhhhhhh thenightetc: Well, sunlight kills them. thenightetc: Cute.  Yes. thenightetc: TBH it seems like Gizmo.... knows. thenightetc: Like he's the last survivor of what happened last time, and we know there was a last time because otherwise where did the rules come from. Thebes: It's implied he's... been through this before Knock Out: Possibly many times. Starscreamapillar: Hence being locked in a box in a corner in a junk shop? thenightetc: Yes. Windchill: *That feel when you appear at precisely the right moment.* Knock Out: And he was so happy, sleeping in a proper bed and watching his little movies, daring to hope it wouldn't happen again. agoodidstraction: reminds me of school Knock Out: Something wicked this way comes. thenightetc: you didn't "invent" those, dude. Knock Out: Hello, Windchill. Thebes: also how are you going to make money on anything that multiplies with tap water thenightetc: yaaaargh agoodidstraction: ahhh Windchill: *Pocahontas wave* thenightetc: poor puppy agoodidstraction: why are humans addicted to anxiety Windchill: Ew. agoodidstraction: how do they live like that Starscreamapillar: That looks like the sludge the medics drink. BBB: its fun? caffienatedconfetti: what are we watching? thenightetc: dude no Windchill: Well. Windchill: That's disturbing. agoodidstraction: ants Starscreamapillar: Bad decisions in motion. caffienatedconfetti: no but seriously thenightetc: He's gonna regret that later. Starscreamapillar: Gremlins, I hear. caffienatedconfetti: oooooo caffienatedconfetti: no please caffienatedconfetti: no thank you caffienatedconfetti: furbies Thebes: honestly the furbies aren't that bad! Windchill: Oh no, Furbies are on a whole 'nother level. Thebes: relatively Windchill: Way worse than Gremlins. caffienatedconfetti: demons agoodidstraction: how can they be worse? agoodidstraction: these are the weirdest ants i've ever seen Starscreamapillar: I lived through the Furby craze. They didn't multiply that quickly. Windchill: Just see what happens when they run low on batteries. caffienatedconfetti: ants????? BBB: or turn on at night thenightetc: He.... drives places in a tractor? agoodidstraction: alright i'm gonna start a furby collection Starscreamapillar: It is an American tractor. caffienatedconfetti: why ants Windchill: Man. thenightetc: I don't think they're made for street speeds, though agoodidstraction: you know, small furry things Windchill: If people stood outside my house and howled like that, I'd shoot 'em. thenightetc: Now I'm picturing it caffienatedconfetti: ants dont have fur????? caffienatedconfetti: they're tiny bugs Starscreamapillar: Aah. That makes more sense. caffienatedconfetti: they're suder duper small caffienatedconfetti: and also someof them bite thenightetc: Apparently that's not true. thenightetc: ^about the suicide rate caffienatedconfetti: who told you that about ants tho agoodidstraction: i had a fire ant and she bit a lot Windchill: But it WAS super edgy to say. thenightetc: (Anyway this is a furby :) https://img00.deviantart.net/e6a1/i/2004/136/8/2/dissected_furby.jpg ) caffienatedconfetti: ....dude fire ants are smaller than a human's fingernail how did you 'have' a fire ant???? Windchill: Um. Knock Out: Liar. BBB: ouch D: Windchill: Typical. Knock Out: That needle's the size of his entire arm. agoodidstraction: don't ask me, it was anon magic. they gave me a fire ant. Windchill: You're a huge seed pod. agoodidstraction: No you thenightetc: So what does this "fire ant" look like caffienatedconfetti: you don't alk about ants in the singular agoodidstraction: I'm the one with the mohawk caffienatedconfetti: they're always in groups thenightetc: ...You've seen this before, haven't you. Starscreamapillar: Yes, who wouldn't want a box of screaming creatures in their house as pets? agoodidstraction: no agoodidstraction: he looks like me caffienatedconfetti: what' thenightetc: ...just you wait. BBB: thats SO gross BBB: every time... Windchill: That's a little too close to home. thenightetc: oh my god, they have like.  human teeth. caffienatedconfetti: ewwww caffienatedconfetti: oh lorf caffienatedconfetti: no thank you agoodidstraction: lorf Windchill: Who just leaves their sandwich just laying around overnight? Starscreamapillar: A bad scientist. agoodidstraction: I leave my sandwich just laying around overnight all the time thenightetc: Someone unconcerned with food poisoning? Windchill: A lying scientist. BBB: and someone without pets roaming around... BBB: (or roommates) agoodidstraction: ?? whoa caffienatedconfetti: those are some big doo doos Windchill: They look like poops. Starscreamapillar: . . . That never ends well. Smash those immediately. BBB: kinda reminds one of the alien movies XD" Windchill: They look like the eggs in that notoriously awful Godzilla movie. Windchill: 'Cept this film came first. caffienatedconfetti: we oughta watch alien sometime caffienatedconfetti: ripley is badass and a 10000/10 agoodidstraction: why does the phone sound haunted caffienatedconfetti: because its old thenightetc: One of their dad's inventions. thenightetc: He invents stuff that's broken and buggy. Windchill: To watch any of the Alien films is to sit through several hours of people discussing their oviposition kinks. Starscreamapillar: They have their own Que. Windchill: No thanks. agoodidstraction: what now caffienatedconfetti: ewwww Thebes: wait there's movies on the internet that don't result in people discussing their kinks? Starscreamapillar: Failed inventor who won't stop making garbage. Windchill: ...Probably not. caffienatedconfetti: starscream's throwing shade thenightetc: Accurate description agoodidstraction: hey garbage to greatness Windchill: Who's this, the Wicked Witch? thenightetc: Pretty much! Windchill: Fantastic. caffienatedconfetti: welp i have something importaant tomorrow, i'm just dropping by Windchill: Gross. agoodidstraction: see ya caffienatedconfetti: and it seems im leaving at jusr rhew right time thenightetc: Goodnight! agoodidstraction: don't let the ants bite caffienatedconfetti: goodbye Knock Out: Goodnight! thenightetc: I feel sorry for Gizmo.  He knows what's coming, but he can't communicate it to anyone who could do something about it. Starscreamapillar: Why couldn't he? He speaks. Windchill: Maybe he's just stupid? Knock Out: He's incapable of saying anything that isn't adorable. thenightetc: Yeah, but he only seems to know a few phrases.  Maybe he doesn't fully understand the language, or maybe he isn't physically able to say more words than that. Windchill: Maybe...it's for plot convenience. BBB: maybe like a parrot? Windchill: Turn on the lights you absolute madman. Starscreamapillar: I feel this man is being reckless in handling his unknown monster. Knock Out: I'm surprised he didn't rat them out when they were making a fuss for food. Knock Out: He clearly knew it was after midnight, he turned down the chicken. agoodidstraction: caca BBB: horror movie rule 2: never turn on the light, it might be a good idea... Starscreamapillar: Admittedly, they know that these things dislike the light. thenightetc: Yeah, they seem to have a sense of when midnight is and know what happens BBB: .... but when does the midnight rule end? Starscreamapillar: Surprise surprise, the black man did not survive the movie. Knock Out: Sunrise, maybe? Windchill: It's like Jurassic Park all over again. thenightetc: That would make sense, although who knows really. Windchill: 'Cept this film is older. BBB: would make sense! Thebes: probably goes from midnight to sunrise, since, you know. light kills. Windchill: Wow. thenightetc: My theory is they're some kind of fairy, and operate on fairy-tale logic. Windchill: At least she's thinking ahead, but I doubt that's gonna be enough. Thebes: listen to the distressed muppet, 80's mom! Avoid! agoodidstraction: too high for this thenightetc: At least he managed to tell her the important part first Starscreamapillar: That fist. Windchill: Someone's got the right idea. Windchill: If it were me, first thing I'd do was eat all the cookies too. agoodidstraction: what Knock Out: It's got its priorities in order. Starscreamapillar: She could have fled the house by now. They have a front door. Thebes: ... so I'm sorry in advance but--THIS WEEK, ON DOES IT BLEND agoodidstraction: oh no agoodidstraction: ahhhhhhhhhhh Windchill: She's doing a number on 'em so far. agoodidstraction: yeah two knives agoodidstraction: swish swish *** Starscreamapillar: But she is alone. All it takes is one slip up, and she is without backup. BBB: aww missed the fun part XD Windchill: I think the cookie pan shield and a knife was a better loadout. agoodidstraction: there i am Windchill: I always knew trees were bad news. thenightetc: Swords prominently in ferame thenightetc: YEP Starscreamapillar: I was right. Windchill: Wow. agoodidstraction: me Windchill: Grotesque. agoodidstraction: bye Windchill: He's gone. Windchill: You could hear the sound of his little feeties. Windchill: Vanishing into the night. Windchill: So...he went back alone? Starscreamapillar: He's stupid. Windchill: Moron. thenightetc: can hear him thinking like, "jesus christ mom" as he looks over the carnage Starscreamapillar: Walking the street with a sword, and a monster in your bag. Yes, that isn't suspicious. Starscreamapillar: No one has called the police about the corpse still in the school. Windchill: *Temptation to sing Y.M.C.A. rising.* agoodidstraction: me going for a swim thenightetc: And there's you having a million evil babies. Knock Out: If a glass of water was agonizing, I can't imagine how much that one hurts. Starscreamapillar: Apparently worth it, to spawn an army. agoodidstraction: i'm a proud daddy Knock Out: A million clones of yourself. agoodidstraction: just what i need agoodidstraction: more *** clones Windchill: Amazing. Thebes: KID, BRING PROOF Starscreamapillar: He's got a few dead ones at home he could use as evidence. thenightetc: Yeah, that's true.  He could have brought those Windchill: It's already dark in there, what the heck. agoodidstraction: yum yum Knock Out: Wheeljack hitting the town. agoodidstraction: me n my clones Windchill: Nice ride. thenightetc: I love this music, though. agoodidstraction: party Starscreamapillar: Death by failing to actually flee. Windchill: Did...they not have a back door? thenightetc: "Monsters, you say?" Starscreamapillar: "Accident" Windchill: *SNORTS* Starscreamapillar: Of course, she has cats. thenightetc: Hey!  Cats are actually great. Windchill: They better be nice to the cats. thenightetc: It's not THEIR fault she's a horrible person Windchill: What a reaction thenightetc: Wait is she saying she thinks they're literal demons, from hell thenightetc: Hhahahaha agoodidstraction: frag hahadls agoodidstraction: aaaaaaa BBB: wtf O___o Starscreamapillar: *Snrks* Windchill: Oh my god. BBB: santa!!! agoodidstraction: hahaaha Windchill: As usual, the police are useless. Starscreamapillar: Yes, leave the man to die. Thebes: to be entirely fair, pirahna-muppets are outside most people's experience agoodidstraction: wow Thebes: to the degree they probably didn't check the trunk, for instance agoodidstraction: that's a lot of dead people Starscreamapillar: A fine holiday massacre. thenightetc: "Hey!  You're not Rockin' Ricky fans!" thenightetc: oh my god thenightetc: here he goes again Windchill: Amazing. Windchill: These guys know how to party. agoodidstraction: oh yeah Starscreamapillar: Reminds me of the Nemesis, before it crashed. agoodidstraction: ha Knock Out: I wish. agoodidstraction: that's what it's like at knock out's place thenightetc: ...I wonder how they can drink beer without multiplying. Windchill: It flashed her. Windchill: Indecent. Starscreamapillar: The same way the snow isn't working? thenightetc: ...I didn't even think about the snow. thenightetc: I wonder if they're not warm enough to melt it. Knock Out: That one's Bumblebee. agoodidstraction: hahahaha BBB: pfffft Starscreamapillar: What is your Bumblebee like?! agoodidstraction: he's cute Knock Out: And chronically stressed, as of late. agoodidstraction: big optics Windchill: I'm surprised nobody's gotten shot yet. agoodidstraction: yeah BBB: aaaand finally work, have fun guys. bye agoodidstraction: see ya Starscreamapillar: Goodbye. Knock Out: Glad you could drop in! Windchill: There we go, her brain's working. thenightetc: Goodnight! agoodidstraction: were they paying? why was she serving them hahaha thenightetc: So they wouldn't attack her. agoodidstraction: tiny guns Starscreamapillar: Not so threatening when they can be defeated with a good flashlight. Knock Out: Where did they even get the tiny guns? Starscreamapillar: Tiny gun store. agoodidstraction: hahaah the whole town jvhfdlashjfkds Knock Out: Checks out. Starscreamapillar: The security on this bank is just atrocious. Windchill: *Raises brows.* Starscreamapillar: . . . . thenightetc: *wince* Knock Out: PFFTHAHAHAHA! Windchill: What kind of moron tries to climb down a chimney. Starscreamapillar: Ha! Knock Out: Gizmo's jealous because they know how to party. thenightetc: ...I wonder what "mogwai" actually means.  Is he just, like, a pokemon that keeps saying his name?  Or does it mean something. Windchill: Look at them, they're so excited. Starscreamapillar: It seems to be Cantonese for 'Monster'. Knock Out: "Monster." thenightetc: Ahhh Knock Out: Or spirit, demon, and so on. Starscreamapillar: Why do they like the movie? thenightetc: They like music. agoodidstraction: ME agoodidstraction: gotta have candy Windchill: That's any sane person's reaction to seeing "CANDY" in big neon letters.
