Location: Downtown

〈A few days later〉

Kuro: Tetsu. Have ya finished shoppin’ yet?

Tetora: Ossu! Thank you for comin’ with me! Thanks to you, I was able to finish everythin’ I needed to do ssu. Are there any places you wanted to go to, Taishou?

Kuro: Me? Nah, I don’t need anythin’. I just wanted to come along for the walk.

Tetora: I see ssu. Then, where should we go nowーー Hm? Hmm~?

Ah, somethin’ smells super good ssu! Ugh, I just got so hungry, I couldn’t help but drool…

Kuro: Smells good…? Now thatcha say it, there is some kinda sweet smell floatin’ around.

Is that taiyaki [1]? Ah, it looks like it’s comin’ from that food truck over there.

Tetora: ! Taiyaki! I love Taiyaki ssu! They’re super delicious ssu!

Kuro: Oh yeah, I think my lil’ sister said somethin’ like this was happenin’. That there was a stylish taiyaki shop that’s only open for a limited time downtown somewhere.

Tetora: Stylish? Is there a thing such as stylish taiyaki ssu?

Like is it not the normal fish shape? Maybe it’s a dressed-up fish? I dunno, I don’t think it matters if it’s dressed up or not. I think people would just eat it anyways…

Kuro: I think ya got the wrong idea of what stylish means.

In this case, I think they’re usin’ stylish to describe the fillin’. Normally, it’d be red bean paste fillin’ or cream fillin’, but this place ‘s sellin’ a variety of different ones.

It could be somethin’ as light as a dessert or as heavy as a light meal. Like how there’s different versions of crepes [1] with various ingredients.

My lil’ sister says they’re really popular ‘cuz they’re like a taiyaki restaurant with how many different varieties they have.

I think she recommended the ham and cheese one…?

Tetora: Ham and cheese! I love ham, cheese, and taiyaki ssu! ♪

Kuro: If ya like them so much, why don’t we buy some and go eat somewhere? I haven’t had lunch yet so I was just startin’ to get hungry.

Tetora: Ossu! Yeah, let’s do that!

Kuro: Tetsu, here.

Tetora: Thank you ssu! Uumyu. I wanna eat right now, but I dunno if I want to eat standin’ right here. It’s a holiday, so it’s kinda crowded…

Kuro: That’s trye. We should go somewhere else.

Tetora: Ah. Then, should we go eat at the riverbank ssu?

Like, we used to go eat food at the riverbank after we finished club activities, right? It’d have a lotta places to sit down, and it’s warm, so it’d be nice to go there ssu.

Kuro: Ohh, that’s right. Nice idea, Tetsu.

Location: Firefly Riverbank

Kuro: Man, it’s been a while since we’ve been here huh.

Tetora: Ah, Taishou! I think this bench here is free ssu!

……Alright! Then, thank you for this meal~! Chew chew……♪

Mmm~! The sweetness of the dough and the savoriness of the ham and cheese go so well together…!

I always thought of taiyaki as somethin’ like a dessert, but somethin’ like this could be a meal!

I hope they add more meat options to the menu next time~ Like kalbi [2] taiyaki!

Which taiyaki did you get, Taishou?

Kuro: Hm? Me? I just got the normal bean paste one.

Tetora: Ehh? After seein’ all those options, you got the normal one? Why?

Kuro: ‘s just a personal preference of mine to get the kind I’m used to durin’ these kinds of things.

Besides, my lil’ sister brings home a lotta food from “stylish” places. Gettin’ to eat the normal version of foods is more rare than not. ‘s nice to have after a while.

Tetora: I see ssu. Well, it’s very Taishou-like to pick somethin’ normal like that. Chew chew…

Oh yeah, I haven’t heard anything from Tenshouin-senpai since everythin’ went down. What ended up happenin’ with the project ssu?

Kuro: I dunno. From the way Tenshouin was actin’ before, it must be hard to have to a lotta different obligations.

Tetora: Right ssu. That’s why it’s so hard to get in touch with Anego too…

Since Tomoya-kun and I were the ones who found the weekly magazine, we’ve been wonderin’ what was goin’ on.

I wish there was a way I could help out.

Kuro: To do that, ya have to come up with a plan that’s good for both agencies, somethin’ that works with the management, and somethin’ that changes the fans opinions who are strugglin’ with the whole issue.

That bein’ said… I’m not that good with variety type shit to begin with.

Tetora: Hm~………

[miyuhpapayuh]

He got game 3.

Sasha - fast ass shorty with the pretty curls

"Odell." A sweet, sultry voice calls out from the stairwell.

Jay leans over and kisses his teeth. "Ya lil groupie lookin' for you."

Odell smirks, already knowing who it is. "Shorty been on me for a week. I told her she'd have to beg for it, but I ain't think she would take me up on the opportunity."

"You're such a fuckin' hoe, you know that?" Sean says, shaking his head.

"And don't even start rippin' on me, cause while your stupid ass was out messin' with Lexi, ol girl gave me the business."

"Who's 'ol girl'?"

"Sabrina." He says with a wink.

"Hm... so that just leaves our sad ass friend, here." Odell sympathetically pats Jay on the back.

"What about you tellin' Hunter how much you like her, you dick."

"She still ain't takin' me seriously—"

"You surely are helping your case, might I add." Jay quips.

"Shut the fuck up, man. Where's your girlfriend?"

"You sad you ain't gettin' none?" Sean chimes in.

"No, cause unlike y'all, I'm not a whore. Y'all gon catch somethin' at the same time." He pushes past them and heads down the hall.

"Well, it's time to give shorty what she wants." He rubs his hands together.

"Class starts in five minutes, bro." Sean says, pulling his bag over his shoulder.

"Since when have I ever given a fuck?" Leaving his bag on the floor, he daps Sean up and heads for the stairs.

Before his foot hits the bottom step, Sasha grabs his hand and pulls him into the corner.

"You done playin' with me?" She bites down on her glossed bottom lip.

"Mhm... you want this dick, now?"

"You wanna give it to me, now?" She slides her hands into his sweats.

"Shit. You just wait til this bell ring, I'm tearin yo ass up." She squeals, pulling him in for a kiss that sends chills through him.

The next three minutes, Sasha teasingly rubs her hand up under his sweatshirt, grazing her coffin shaped nails against his chest.

"Why'd you tease me for so long?" She asks, grabbing his hand to press it against her bare ass, underneath her mini skirt.

The bell rings and everybody clears off the stairs, heading to their classes or their cars, leaving the pair alone.

"Come with me."

Leading her down the stairs a bit, they stop near the middle, where a vacant classroom sits. He opens the door and pulls her inside, closing the door quietly behind himself.

"Bend over the desk." Pressing her flush against the cool surface, he grunts at the sight of her plump ass and wet pussy.

Not wasting an ounce of time, he pushes his sweats down and rubs himself against her wet center, eliciting a soft purr from her.

Sliding into her, he bottoms out and she tightens around him with an airy moan. "Fuck..."

"Ease up or this'll be over quick." He grunts, feeling her loosen up, so he can begin driving into her at a rough enough pace to make the desk lightly scrape against the floor.

"Unh!" Gripping her curls in his hand, he speeds up, making her grip the edge of the desk with both hands.

"Tight ass pussy," she moans in response, biting down on her bottom lip to keep from being too loud.

"How does it feel?" He pulls her up somewhat, her hands now flat on the surface.

"Mm!" She whimpers, feeling him hit her spot.

"Tell me, babygirl." He releases her hair and grips the back of her neck.

"It feels so good!" She screeches, letting her head fall forward.

"Squeeze that pussy, baby.." she tightens back around him, while he digs deeper into her, causing her eyes to roll back.

"Fuck," he growls into her ear, "some of the best pussy I've ever had."

A smile spreads across her lips. "Shut up— fuck me!"

Pushing her back against the desk, he drills into her like a madman. Her moans heighten in volume, beyond her control.

"Fuuuck!" She whines, reaching back to push him away once the pit of her stomach starts to burn.

"Take this dick." He pushes her hand away, continuing his sweet torture on her body.

"I'm gonna cum! I'm gonna cum— oh shit! Ohhh shiiiiit!" Her legs begin to shake as her orgasm washes over her, making her body feels like it's on fire.

In the midst of her high, she clamps down on him, bringing him closer to his own nut.

"You gon' suck the nut out this dick?" His hands finds her hair, again.

"Yes, daddy." Pulling out of her, he pulls her upright and brings her to her knees in front of him, watching as she wraps her lips around his wet dick, bobbing her head quickly.

"Shit... just like that." He tosses his head back, feeling it grow closer.

She wraps her lips around his flushed head and sucks, fervently, causing his mouth to hang open.

"Fuck... ima nut all in that pretty mouth." She grazes her nails against his leg and he twitches between her lips.

"I'm cummin'," his eyes shut, tightly as he releases down her throat, which she gladly swallows.

"Fuckin' nasty ass." He smirks, helping her up from the floor, pulling her skirt back down over her ass, all while pulling his own sweats back up.

She giggles and smooths her hand over her messy curls. "Thanks for the dick, asshole."

"Anytime, brat."

「 Daydreamtober 2024 」

I'm using the prompts to write, explain, draw, or just daydream more about the first events or facts that come to me when I see the word. Some things will be longer or higher quality than others, so please bear with me a lil bit. I gotta post lore somehow..

⟻ Day 4 — Feast ⟼ Word Count : 575

The sun had dipped below the horizon, small rays of sun peeking over trees and a farm. In a small shack, two cowboys scurried about, putting together something of a feast. A bigger dinner than usual, made form the odds and ends of what they’d manage to gather. Tonight, they had decided to treat themselves. The shack was fairly small, its walls beaten and withered, but warmth radiated within and they moved around, whispering around each other. A makeshift table took it’s shape as they laid a sturdy plank of wood across from a couple of random thicker books, propping it on old boxed they had lying around as well. It wasn’t perfect, but it didn’t need to be. The plank balanced well enough, and with a small blanket thrown across it, it was the best they got. Dane knelt down to the tables level, placing mismatched plates and cutlery on the table, while Cole messed around with getting the vegetables cooked just right, occasionally glancing over his shoulder to add his two cents. “Maybe next time we actually get some real bread, huh?” Dane said, his voice carrying a hint of a smile. "This old stuff's lookin' more like… a doorstop than dinner." Cole laughed as he stirred the pot on the stove. "Aw, come on now, it's got character. Just give it a good soak in the stew, and it'll soften right up." They’d managed to get their hands on some alcohol too, a small bottle of whiskey, not homemade this time around, that Dane uncorked with a flick of his thumb. He poured it carefully into two metal cups, and the sharp scent of it filled the room, blending with the hearty aroma of vegetables and meat. Cole finished up with the food and brought the pot over, carefully ladling some of the stew into their bowls. They sat down, cross-legged around their table. The steam rose between them, and the first few bites were taken in a comfortable silence, both cowboys savoring the warmth and fullness of it. After a while, Cole leaned back slightly, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. "So, what’re we doin' tomorrow?" he asked, his voice lazily curious. Dane shrugged, taking a sip from his whiskey. "Ohh, I dunno. Thought I might head back into town, see if I can get somethin' to cover up my horse's leg. That cut’s still got me worried." Cole nodded, chewing over a piece of carrot. "Yeah, alright. I'll come along. Maybe see if we can't get somethin' resembling an actual table while we’re at it." He smirked, tapping the edge of the plank with his knuckles. "As much as I love this work of art, it's time we upgraded." Dane chuckled, a bit of amusement in his eyes. "What's wrong with a table that doubles as a balancing act, huh? Keeps us on our toes." Cole reached for the bread. "I'd rather keep my toes without a plank falling on 'em, thank you very much." They continued eating, exchanging small jokes and bits of laughter between spoonfuls of stew and sips of whiskey. The shack was simple, possessions of few , but life flourished in such a small space. Drawn from the hearty meal they shared, the laughter that filled the gaps between sentences, and the intimacy of the two of them sitting next to each other. It wasn't much by some standards, but it was home.

[epitomees]

"Hey, Chie-senpai," an out-reaching emerald bow poked out from behind Kanji's back, poorly portraying secrecy. "I uhhh, got you somethin'." Bringing the present box full-center, Kanji popped off the lid, stuck his hand inside, and pulled out a bark-brown plush in the shape of a rabbit. Its droopy ears hanged below its feet - a familiar jacket made up its torso, the sleeves stopping just before its paw. In its eyes? A fiery determination! "It's uh, s'pposed to be you. Had a hard time figuring out what to add to it, so..." awkwardly, Kanji handed the creation over to her hands. "Hope you like it."

Kanji got her a gift? Or did he make her one for the special occasion?

What surprised her the most, however, was the rough-'n-tough beach blonde appearing rather anxious...just to present Chie with a gift. Maybe it was a something handmade, which made sense if he kept stumbling on his words and awkwardly shuffling his posture. Even so, the brunette kept her expression quite neutral, yet intrigued, as Kanji pulled out the surprise hidden inside the colored box.

Oh, the ears on this little bunny plush! They reminded her of Muku's floppy ears but not nearly as long as this little one. A sparkle of childlike wonder filled the chocolate brown hues eagerly gazing upon the present now in her hands. The plush fur was soft to the touch, very squeezable and well-stitched too! Chie never doubted Kanji's sewing abilities. This just further proved his skills.

"...it's me!? Oh...wait you're right!! It IS ME as a bunny!!" She happened to notice the matching jacket it wore, vibrant greens and yellows adorning its colorful outfit. " Ya know, I thought I'd be more of a cheetah or somethin' fast if I were an animal, but...I can see myself bein' a cute bunny too!" Chie Jr. was too boring and bland for a name. Something exciting, and something friendly...

"When I have a good name for this lil' kicker, I'll let you know right away!" In all the excitement and elation, Chie threw her arms around Kanji embracing him in a tight hug and squeezed him little by little. "Mmmmmmm thank you, thank you, thank you for the gift Kanji-kun~!"

[shotorozu]

Hi 🥺👉🏼👈🏼. I saw that your requests were open and I really love your writing. Idk if you’d feel comfort writing this or not, but I’ll give it a shot. Bakugou with a pregnant s/o who is constant doing reckless things (like climbing on top of chairs to take stuff off the top shelf in her closet, or insisting that she’s in perfect shape to do her hero patrols etc) and just over-protective Bakugou. Please if you can. It’s been on my mind for awhile. It would be so cute 😭😭💖

careless & pregnant s/o

character(s) : bakugou katsuki (bnha)

legend : [Y/N = your name] pro hero au! fem! reader, reader is also a pro hero, quirk not specific

headcanon type : a lil angsty, fluffy at the end though (x reader)

note(s) : made y/n stubborn, and lowkey annoying because yeah,, not used to making y/n like this, it kinda annoyed me too at this point since i NEVER write y/n like this. but i gave it a shot, and i hope it’s not too overbearing to the point it makes people wanna log off 💀

and i know you were expecting cutesy stuff but sorry,, this is kinda angsty.

»»————-　♡　————-««

bakugou katsuki

almost passes away on the spot when he sees you climbing on the counter

“what the fuck are you doing— get off the counter, now!” he says as he gently gets you off the counter

you’re strong, a little stubborn. a trait that he has learned to mostly love and sometimes hate, in this case— he hates it.

like what the hell are you doing, going around line a recently freed chimpanzee?? have you forgotten that you’re bearing his child??

he tries— nah, he is soft with you, i swear. especially since a literal human is developing inside of you

literally stares at you like 🤨 when you insist that you’re in a perfect state, and that you’re ‘not fragile’

“i know that,” he states, surprisingly calm “but you literally can’t be doing shit like that. no more carrying and climbing on of cabinets and counters, kay? want the baby’s mama to be in top condition.”

and you agreed, and everything seemed fine

until he gets word that you’ve tried doing hero work while he was gone, and when you were SUPPOSED to be in bed

he’s kinda mad, it’s not even funny.

scenario

you’re stubborn, and he knows that well. if anything, he has grown some resistance to it, and he has even developed some sort of liking towards it

but this is going too far— even for someone like him. he doesn’t know how much he could take it, if you were to continue like this.

when you meet him, he’s silent, and his stare is hard, those classic vermilion eyes aren’t meeting you— and it almost makes you regret doing all of that (which rightfully— you should be regretting it.)

“are you mad?” you dare to ask, and he doesn’t feel like replying. after all— he wants to be patient with you, and he definitely doesn’t want to be saying stuff, only to be regretting them some time later. he might be irritated by your actions, but he definitely doesn’t want to hurt your feelings.

“are you mad?” he repeats, using finger air quotations, “‘course i am. are you nuts?”

you frown, “i don’t want to be a liability. i know that i’m pregnant and all, but i shouldn’t be slacking off. i’m not like everyone else, y’know?”

“that’s it. that’s the point. you’re not like everyone else” the blond sternly says, the room’s deafening with it’s silence, when the blond says nothing for a few short seconds “you’re pregnant. with my kid, i should remind you. maybe at this point, i should just write it on a piece of paper, and pin it on the fridge or somethin’.”

you’re irritated, but definitely not on the same level of irritation as him— let alone, when he first got word of your little attempt. “i don’t get why you’re mad.”

“you don’t?”

“yeah, honestly.”

“listen,” he huffs, “you’re pregnant. ya hear me? what if you fell down when you climbed on those fuckin’ cabinets? what if you went out during patrol, and someone attacked you? do you even hear yourself?” he could feel the volume of his voice increasing, he can’t really help it

“katsuk—”

“no, you listen,” he stares straight into your eyes, making sure that you remember every single thing he has to say. “i can’t have you getting hurt, and i can’t have you stressing out. it’s not good for the little brat. and i don’t care if you think you’ll be a liability, because you’re not!— okay?” he scolds, theres a strong sense of anger sporting his features, but you can tell that he’s trying his best not to unleash it onto you.

he seems too angry to continue, like he has had enough. because as soon as he finishes talking, he leaves— the sound of mini explosions popping echo throughout the room, and the sound of the door closing has you thinking to yourself, and reflecting about your previous actions.

afterwards, he gets kirishima and mina to monitor you in person— making sure you don’t push yourself, or do anything stupid while he’s out

and they agree with him— saying that you really shouldn’t be doing hero work while pregnant, and being reckless during pregnancy isn’t something anyone wants their pregnant s/o to have as a trait.

“he’s right, y’know,” kirishima sighs, “in a way, it must suck being stuck in the house. if i were you, i would’ve done the same.”

“excluding the hero work part.” mina adds, “i mean, what if you did fall? we can’t have the little one getting hurt, right?”

there’s a pit in your stomach— one that’s not your unborn child, and a sense of guilt engulfs you whole

“so, what should i do?” you want to fix things, and you want to reassure him that he won’t be seeing the careless while pregnant Y/N ever again

“talk to him.”

so you do, sitting (or laying down with him,) after he gets home. he’s calmer, and he doesn’t seem mad anymore— the tense mood still lingering around.

“i’m sorry.” you start, “there’s,, really no excusing it. i’m going to be a mother, i cannot be doing stuff like hero work, and just,, being reckless overall. i know you’re just looking out for me, and our child.”

“so, i’ll listen. i’ll really take things easier from here on out.”

“promise?”

“i promise.” a smile breaks on his face, and a sense of relief courses throughout your body

“good. i was gonna strap you onto the bed, if you weren’t going to listen.”

so you complied, and took it easy. and a few months later— you gave birth to a healthy baby!

Diabolik Lovers DARK FATE ー Subaru Dark [06]

ー The scene starts in the living room of the Tsukinami manor

Shin: ーー Good job. You’ve been dismissed. 

ー The Wolf Familiar leaves

Shin: Apparently the whole Sakamaki family retreated back to the Demon World, Nii-san.

Carla: ...As we expected.

Shin: In the end, we were only able to put a dent in one of them, huh? I wonder if those guys are tougher than we thought?

Carla: ...Shin.

Shin: Yes, Nii-san?

Carla: What do you think sets apart the strong from the weak?

Shin: Eh? Hmー... Isn’t it just a genuine power difference? 

Carla: No, it is not. The weak have far too many things to lose.

Shin: Then how about the strong?

Carla: The exact opposite. The strong...are those who have nothing to lose.

Shin: Hehe...I getcha. In other words, you’re strong. Meanwhileーー

Those guys swooning over some chick are weak. Isn’t that right, Nii-san?

ー The scene shifts to the bedroom at the Sakamaki castle

Christa: ーー Please, have some of this as well.

Yui: T-Thank you very much. 

( Ever since, I’ve been spending time with Christa whenever I can... )

Christa: Oh my, Cordelia. You’ve got more of a sweet tooth than I expected. Look at you add that much sugar...

Yui: ( Seems like she still believes that I’m Cordliea. )

( She’s called me that so many times, I’ve stopped correcting her as well.... )

Christa: ...Fufu.

Yui: Is something wrong?

Christa: I’m sorry. I just never thought I’d ever be able to open up to you in this way

I’m happy. To be able to enjoy a cup of tea together like we are right now.

I was always lonely, but ever since the two of us started talking to each other, every day has been a blast.

Yui: ...

Christa: While we may not have been on the best terms in the past, I am sure we will get along just splendidly from here on out, Cordelia.

*TIMESKIP*

ー The scene shifts to the entrance hall

Yui: ( ...She really is normal when it’s just the two of us. )

( However...When she sees Subaru-kun, something inside of her suddenly snaps. )

( I’m happy she feels at ease around me but it pains me too to see her look at Subaru-kun in such a way. )

Subaru: Yui.

Everythin’ alright?

Yui: Yeah. We just had tea together.

Did you wait here for me the whole time perhaps?

Subaru: ‘Course I did. What if somethin’ happened while I was away?

Selection

→ Aren’t you worrying a little too much?

Yui: Don’t you think you’re worrying a little too much...? She’s been calm as of late.

Subaru: The lunar eclipse is still ongoing. Thing is, her behavior hasn’t changed except for when she’s with you. It’s too early to lower my guard.

→ You’re worried about me, aren’t you? (♡)

Yui: You’re worried about me, aren’t you? Thank you, Subaru-kun.

Subaru: S-Shut up! Don’t say it out loud, you idiot!

Anyway, if you realize I’m worried, be a lil’ more on guard! You’re way too reckless. 

Yui: I-I’m sorry...

Subaru: ...Well...Seems like it’s helpin’ you get your mind off things as well, so that’s good at least.

Yui: Yeah, it’s kind of fun. She’s been teaching me various things. 

Subaru: ...What exactly is this ‘various’?

Yui: Things about the Demon World, for example...Today she talked to me about the evening galas.

She looked very delighted when talking about how handsome her ‘Nii-sama’ looked. 

I didn’t know Christa-san had an older brother.

Subaru: ...

Yui: ...Subaru-kun?

Subaru: ...Nothin’.

We should head back to our room as well. I’ll tend to your wound like usual.

ー The scene shifts to the bedroom

Subaru: ーー Does it no longer hurt?

Yui: Yeah. One of the shards just lightly brushed across so it was never anything serious. You can barely even tell where I got cut, right?

Subaru: No, you can still see it.

Yui: I’m pretty sure the scar’s gone?

Subaru: I can tell. Now stop complainin’ and let me treat you.

Yui: Then can you point it out? I doubt there’s any visible scar left.

Subaru: ...Right here, no?

Yui: ...I think it was a little lower, you know?

Subaru: ...Don’t fuss ‘bout the details! Stop talkin’ back to me!

Yui: Fufu~

Subaru: ...Don’t be laughin’ now, fuck.

...Good thing it didn’t scar, huh?

Yui: I wouldn’t have minded if it did, honestly...

Subaru: I would.

I won’t let you get hurt in any way, shape or form. ...You’re the last person I want to see hurt because of me.

Monologue

The way he put that, it almost sounded as if,

his own actions (自分のせい) had hurt someone in the past.

As he ran his fingers across the nearly faded wound (傷),

Subaru-kun pressed a kiss against my cheek.

As he repeatedly begged me not to get hurt,

his expression seemed somewhat sorrowful.

Carlins eyebrows!! That’s how I want mine to look but I am not as beautiful as her so I can’t pull it off.

You can absolutely pull it off I promise!! You gotta customize it a little to accentuate your face but I'm telling you all eyebrows can look 🔥🔥

Try something easy like an e.l.f. eyebrow pencil (can get anywhere), match the shade to your hair as close as possible (if you are very blonde or redheaded do taupe or light brown) outline your brows by following their natural shape and fill in. Try to keep the shade similar to your hair when you're filing in (if you've got dark hair like carlin you can go ham just keep in mind super dark and thick brows will stand out a lot if you don't have dark features/wear a lot of other makeup). Add a lil arch if you want to, elongate, etc just keep it subtle!

A nude eyeshadow or shimmery highlight underneath will give them a little extra somethin also.

I wish I could do a quick trial run on you so bad, I have shitty brows from over plucking in the early 2000s lol at this point I can make any brow look good!!

Lyrics: There you go on sulkin', blamin' all but you. Won't admit you set your heart for failure. Should be glad I'm here awaking you.

I'll make a real good soul out of you. Time ain't ticking slow, yes, you're overdue. Aren't you glad to meet me?

- Meet Me by Mickey Valen ft. Noé

Character(s): Mr. Bean?

send me a song lyric and character(s)/ship, and i’ll write a minific based on it

"Rise and shine, my scaly little friend." The rusty metal door creaked as it swung open. Hannibal Roy Bean grinned, enjoying the smooth ride on Ying-Ying's back. The smell of freshly cooked dragon wafted up to him from the bowl clutched in her dangerously sharp talons. Even with the chill from the caves as they descended, the eternal heat untouched by the laws of nature given off by the soup kept the air around them warm.

Ying-Ying landed with barely a sound of metal clinking against the cold stone floor of the cave. Then immediately alighted again when the clinking of chains sounded. Bean grinned with his rotted graveyard mouth full of jagged tombstone teeth. Seeing the verdant silhouette of the once Dragon of Water slithering around the cave.

"Come on now, Chasey Boy. I left you alone for a week now, you're hungry enough by now that you'll be wanting to eat more on your own. No need to be so sulky. You don't want me to have to pry your jaw open and pour it down your throat for you again, do ya?" A great, sharp toothed muzzle approached the bowl. Gingerly sniffing at the wafting smell of magic and reptile drifting off of it. "I was even kind enough to add a little... somethin' extra to make it nice and filling. I worked hard to get that nice n fresh, ya' know." He said this with an almost palpable glee, eyeing the distinct shape of a whole human hand bobbing at the top of the liquid. So fresh it was almost still twitching.

A low, hesitant rumble sounded from a rough throat. But saliva began to drip between the sharp rows of teeth. It was as they said, hunger was the best sauce. And after so long of deprivation, any food presented would be well slathered in it.

Finally, to Bean's twisted delight, the long snout plunged into the soup. Scarfing down the long withheld meal with ravenous fury. Now confident in seeing the fury at which the meal was devoured, Bean hopped down from his perch on Ying-Ying's back, landing on the shoulder of the beast. He pressed a tendril intentionally against one of the many half-healed chafe marks criss-crossing Chase's neck near the metal collar that restrained him. It was probably near time to set him loose again. Maybe two weeks of no food would produce an extra level of viciousness. The boy could well take down a medium sized city with how far he'd come.

Chase lifted his maw from the bowl. Scales dripped with thick, green broth and slivers of flesh speared into the gaps between his fangs. Pupils slitted as they focused best they could on the small organism perched on his shoulder. Bean just continued to grin, and patted him like a dog owner praising a dog that had just performed a suitable trick.

"See now? It's just like I told ya'. Now all ya' need is a little guidance, and you'll become the evilest thing this world ever did see. Second only to me, of course," he chuckled. "Just you wait, I'll make you a proper evil creature yet, once you get over those silly lil' hangups with 'humanity' and all. Now ain't you glad you met such an excellent teacher as me?"

I absolutely love it! I hope yall like it! Please watch the video so you can have a better understanding of the vibe for the story!

………………………………………….

��5, 6,7, 8!” (Y/N) shouts from the front of the class. The short girl is currently running through a rigorous routine with her class for an upcoming musical for the Summer Festival that is approaching in a few months. And she wants the show to go perfectly.

“More energy!” she shouts, her eyes watching her students from the mirror in front of her as she too danced.

“Alexi pick up your feet! Topaz I better see that leg go behind your head!” she yells, at the gem and human. She saw them both nod as they fell in proper coordination with the large group. Good. The song then ended and the class strikes their individual poses. (Y/N) whips around with a wide smile as she places her hands on her hips.

“Ok that was good everybody! Give yourself a round of applause.” The (C/G) gem praised. Amber and the other teachers clapped with their students for a job well done. Rehearsal are now over, the class sat on the floor or couches mingling with their friends. (Y/N) looks at the clock on the wall, she might have time to run through a new routine she was working on quickly, but before she could even move, someone stopped her in her tracks.

“You’re really an intense teacher.” (Y/N) chest tightens when she heard the familiar accent that made her very gem swoon. The curvy being turns around to see Spinel standing there wearing a friendly smile on her face. She wore a similar outfit from yesterday and this time her hair was in her signature pigtails. Oh goodness, she looks so adorable!

“El!” The (Y/G) calls out happily hopping into the pink girl’s arms, wrapping her arms around the slender gem neck. Spinel squeaks at the sudden weight not expecting the embrace.

“Hey, Doll I see ya in a good mood bout somethin.” Spinel mentions her positive attire while wrapping her long arms around the petite gem form.

“Well I was in a good mood before but you made it better!” (Y/N) coos batting her long lashes at the magenta gem. Spinel face flushed a bright pink stumbling over her words not sure how to respond to that. She wasn’t used to be flirted with.

“Ugh, get a room you two!” Amber shouts teasingly from across the studio, a chorus of lighthearted laughter follows her comment from the students watching the two. The taller gem hides her face in (Y/N) neck causing the small gem t to laugh sweetly into her ear. (Y/N) unwraps herself from Spinel, grabbing her hands and pulling her to a nearby love seat. She tucks her legs under herself at sat Spinel beside her.

“So did you bring the poem?” she asks curiously. Spinel nod her head as she digs in her hoodie pocket and pulls out the folded paper. (Y/N) took the sheet, quickly unfolding it, and starts to read the neat hand writing on the sheet. Spinel sat nervously as she twiddled with her thumbs. She didn’t know anything about writing a poem. So she had asked the Crystal Gems for help. They were really kind and patience when she was struggling to write out her feelings.

The quiet nearly suffocated Spinel as her leg bounces anxiously. She really hopes she doesn’t scare off (F/N) with all her issues. Once (F/N) was done, her (E/C) eyes move their gaze from the paper to worry magenta orbs. Oh stars! Spinel felt her chest squeeze in anticipation worry what she might think.

“This is really good Ellie. It’s so real, it’s raw and....thank you for trusting me to read something so personal.” (F/N) reaches her hand out placing it on top of hers giving it a reassuring squeeze. Spinel released the breath she was holding feeling relaxed. Oh thank the Diamonds she didn’t freak her out.

“R-really?” The slender gem stutters out, she subconsciously flips her palm up and claps (F/N) hand. Their fingers easily laces together bring both female comfort.

“Yes! It is powerful, symbolic and dark. It will make a perfect song!” (Y/N) says as she taps her chin wondering how to start the process.

“A song?” Spinel inquires as she watches (Y/N) summon a pen from her gem.

“Yeah! Told you that yesterday, writing the poem was step one. The next step is turning it into a song.” (Y/N) explains as she slides onto the floor on her knees to write on the coffee table.

“So what’s your favorite genre of music?” The short gem asks ready to write down some notes. Spinel joins the girl on the floor; she places her elbow on the table humming in thought. She favored a lot of genres, rock has been her go too as of late, but there was another that has her whole gem.

“Well, it ain’t considered a genre, but I favor Electroswing. Amethyst introduced me to it about a year ago.” Spinel answers.

“Electroswing? What’s that?” The (S/C) gem asks her head tilts to the side.  

“What!? Ya don’t know what Electroswing is?!”Spinel asks brows scrunched together in disbelief. (Y/N) shook her head slowly offering the spinel a bashful smile. Spinel hastily places her hands on the other girl's shoulders shaking her gently as she talks excitedly about her favorite thing.

“Swing is soooooo much fun! Ya do whateva ya want! Go wild, go fast or go slow! In swing there are no rules!” Spinel explains passionately with glittery eyes.

“You just explained the concept of every music genre ever, El.” The short girls say playfully rolling her eyes.

“Ya missin the point, swing is betta!” Spinel cracks back leaning in closer to (Y/N) face. Spinel could feel the fire ignite; the pink gem was ready to throw down when it came to talking about her favorite kind music. Swing dancing is one thing she knew she excels at without a doubt! She would bet her very gem on it. Swing always made her happy whenever she was down; it was her only coping mechanism on Homeworld. Nevertheless, it was hard to do swing alone; she couldn’t dance with the Diamonds and the other gems didn’t seem too into it. It saddens her that she couldn’t share the one thing she truly is passionate about with others. Spinel sighs softly as she leans back on her hands, she knew she could sweep (Y/N) off her feet with her abilities if given the chance.

Then an idea strikes her as she looks back over at the cute gem before her. Maybe this could be her chance.

“In fact.” She mutters with a mischief smirk as she stands up offering her hand to the small gem. (Y/N) took her hand and stood beside her with curious eyes.  

“C’mon, let me teach ya how to swing Doll.” Spinel says winking at the girl, her accent rolling off each word. The short gems knees almost caved right from under her as an army of swarming butterflies erupted in her stomach. Oh?  Where did this sudden burst of confidence come from? Just a second ago, she was a blushing mess! But now she was flirty? (Y/N) wasn’t complaining at all though, this is a side of Spinel she would love to explore more of. The tall gem led the two to the middle of the dance floor before explaining the art that is swing to the dance instructor.

“Ok, so swing has alotta dance styles. To name a few, there’s the Charleston, the Balbo and my personal favorite the Lindy Hop. We are going to learn how to Lindy Hop. So kick both your feet out like this…. Good, see simple.” Spinel coach’s as they stood side by side kicking their feet out slowly.

“Ok now go faster, and make sure to twist ya foot out. Amazing look at ya go.” Spinel complimented making the short gem blush, the two doing a few simple steps together.

“Now to add a lil flare, after ya kick, bring your knee-high while keeping the speed.  Ayyyy, there ya go teach!” A few of the students that decided to hang around watched their teacher get her very own dance lesson. Spinel taught (Y/N) a few more steps, they slowly pieced them together to create a short routine. (Y/N) was having too much fun receiving Spinel’s undivided attention the whole time. There were moments when she did a step wrong just to have Spinel’s hands on her shoulder or hips to correct the error.  After about an hour Spinel decided the (G/S) was ready.

“OK, now let’s try it with music!” the pink gem said as she the tugs collar of her sweater down to expose her perfectly heart-shaped gem. (Y/N) breath hitches in her throat when her eyes took noticed of defined collarbones and the top of her bra cups.

‘Get your shit together!’ She curses herself in her head. (E/C) hues watch Spinel summoned her phone from her gem and walks over to a student that sat beside a large radio.

“Play it when I say ready.” She instructs to the teen.

“Wait I’m not ready!” (Y/N) panics as Spinel approaches her. The pink gem rolls her eyes as she grabs the (G/C) gem hands into her own pulling their bodies close together.

“Oh stop that ya got this teach, just do it like I taught ya~.” She coos teasingly watching (Y/N) cheeks glow a bright (S/C). Satisfied with the reaction, Spinel rest one hand on (Y/G) hips, pressing their bodies closer together.

“Ready.” Spinel says over her shoulder to the student. The girl nods and presses the play button on the device to start the song.

one, two, three, take my hand and come with me

Because you look so fine

That I really wanna make you mine

I say you look so fine

That I really wanna make you mine

(Y/N) could feel her very core becoming putty in Spinel’s hands from the sudden buoyancy that radiant off the taller girl. (Y/N) never felt so nervous in her life and she was in a war! A devilish smirk spreads on Spinel’s lips as the pair sway in slow circles gazing at each other.

“See ya are doin fine, but the song is gonna pick up soon doll. Make sure you can keep up~.” Spinel whispers to her. Her words instantly brought out the competitive nature that burns within the short gem core. Her eyes sharpen teasingly at the suddenly arrogant Spinel. Two can play at this game.

“How about you worry about yourself, Ellie. Don’t forget I’m a teacher, I can dance circles around you all day.”  (Y/N) says smugly with a triumphant grin. Spinel ‘oohh’ playfully before she cranes down her neck lower, her hand giving the curvy gems hip a rough squeeze. An insatiable jolt shots right up her spine as electricity tickles the inside of her gem. Fuck.  

“If ya make that all day to all night, then I would love to schedule a private lesson~.” (Y/N) nearly lost her footing at Spinel words. Oh shit, that was smooth as fuck, seriously where is all this confidence coming from? Before (Y/N) could fully compose herself, she was twirled around as the song's tempo sped up as Spinel promised. Spinel danced with ease, knowing this song like the back of her hand having had heard it a million times. Finally getting a grip; (Y/N) followed Spinel’s lead, remembering the steps she had just learned.

Well I could see

You home with me

But you were with another man, yeah!

I know we

Ain't got much to say

Before I let you get away, yeah!

I said, are you gonna be my girl?

Spinel swung out the short gem out; letting her arm stretching a few feet before yanking the (Y/N) back to her. The (E/C) eyed gem coiled into the elongated limp back into Spinel’s embrace. With the use of her arm, the pink gem then whips the short girl like a top making her twirl something fierce. She looks like a small tornado! This made the slender gem laugh as she magically grasped (Y/N) hands from her cyclone state making her come to a complete stop. The dizzy (G/S) laughs as her head lolls from the rush.

“You ok darling?” Spinel asks the girl in her arms they spun in a slow circle.

“That wasn’t part of the lesson.” She says softly composing herself enough to fall into step with the pink gem. Spinel chuckles softly as she at the short girl with sharp eyes.

“Told ya to keep up.” She resorted humorously.  (Y/N) snaps herself out of her dizzy daze and fell back into step.

Big black boots

Long blonde hair

She's so sweet

With her get back stare

Well I could see

You home with me

But you were with another man, yeah!

I know we

Ain't got much to say

Before I let you get away, yeah!

I said, are you gonna be my girl?

Spinel soon broke off from the partner routine to do her own thing, she stretched and twisted her body in a toony fashion. Her body fluctuating in ways one can only dream. The pink gem arms swung in every direction as her feet shuffles quickly. (Y/N) found herself standing still since she couldn’t even predict her moves. All she could do was watch in amazement as Spinel literally danced circles around her with her bright smile. I guess she had to admit defeat, Spinel out danced her and she wasn’t even upset about it. Seeing the The short gem loved the way her magenta eyes shine as she dances her heart out. (F/N) really could tell she was in the zone and not even showing off, the love of ones passion is so powerful it really can take you away.

The (H/C) gem watch as Spinel slides on her knees from across the class, stopping in front of her. Spinel easily sprung back onto her feet, her larger hand grabs (Y/N) left hand and whips her around to the tempo of the trumpet.

“C’mon suga, show me what ya got~.” She says spinning the girl out from across the floor. (Y/N) stood off to the side of the floor thinking what she could pull off successfully. Spinel did say she could do whatever she wanted. (F/N) takes a running start she easily performed various styles of layout flips across the floor. She then plants herself back onto the ground and rushes over to Spinel. The pink gem bends her knees to get low as (Y/N) flashes into her awaiting arms. Spinel smirks as she whirls around before tossing (F/N) high up in the air. (F/N) giggles loudly as she was launched upwards, she strike a pose when she reach her high point. As (F/N )began to descended back down, Spinel coils her arms securely around her waist and thigh to dip the (S/C) gem in a fish pose. The class gasped in amazement and fear as they saw (F/N) face was merely inches away from the floor. If Spinel would had miscalculated the time, the (G/S) would had smash her face against the hardwood floor.

The duo continue to freestyle . Spinel places the short girl right back up in front of her. (Y/N) presses her ass against Spinel’s front, grinding in a slow manner making the pink gem nearly drop to her knees. The feeling of (Y/N) soft ass rubbing up against her sex sent sparks of pleasure through the pink gem. The sensation nearly left her breathless. Spinel reaches down to grab her hips to keep the female in place; craving more of the new feeling but (Y/N) slips from her grasp. The short gem easily did a straddle split and slides between Spinel’s legs to get behind her. The taller gem whips around with heavy eyes as she stretches her arms out and yanks the (F/N) back into her.

“Tease~.” She purrs earning a giggle from the (Y/G).

“Keep up.” She quips back with a wink.

Oh yeah, oh yeah, c'mon!

I could see

You home with me

But you were with another man, yeah!

Sadly, the song was ending and Spinel wished they could do this a while longer. This is the most fun she ever had in a long while. But she is proud of herself for make it this far without collapsing from over stimulation, and she was determined to end strong too. The pink gem grabs onto (Y/N) hands and spins her a few times before swinging the girl down into a dip. Gathering all the confidence she had left, Spinel opens her mouth to sing the last few lines.

“I know we, ain't got much to say, before I let you get away, yeah!” The short gem’s chest tightens when she heard a brilliant voice ringing in her ears. Her gazes instantly morphing into shock to astonishment as Spinel sang the lyrics effortlessly. Holy fuck, she didn’t know she could sing like this!

The slender gem smirks at the girl’s starry-eyed expression; she slowly brought her back up to her feet, pressing their physiques close together. The pink gem stares down at her with hooded eyes as she uses her fingers to tilt the awestruck gem chin up. (Y/N) breath hitched in her throat at the action, her mind went blank. She couldn’t think and she couldn’t move. Her mind has finally reached its limit of surprises. From the events of yesterday, mixed in with dancing and singing became too much for her bare. All she could feel was the butterflies coming back with a vengeance.

“Uh, be my girl, be my girl, are you gonna be my girl? Yeah.” The hairs on the back (Y/N) stood on end as Spinel riffs out the high notes smoothly. Chills travel through her form, as she stood unmoving locked into place. Spinel smiles at the frozen female in her arms loving the fact she was able to leave her speechless for once.  Spinel could feel her ego swell ten times it sizes, she very proud of her work. Then her cocky smile slips from her face when she notices a soft (F/C) glow around the short gems silhouette. Spinel raises an eyebrow as she watches her (H/C) hair slowly levitate in the air. The (C/G) girls was deeply enchanted by Spinel that her powers activated on their own, slowly lifting her off the ground. Spinel watched as the (F/N) slowly floats up towards the ceiling, clearly still in a trance. Well damn, she knew she was good but not that good. Spinel giggles cutely pleased to have this effect on her. She stretches her arms up tugging the curvy girl back down by her hands with a fond smile plastered on her lips.  

“Ya doin ok darlin?” The taller gem askes when she placed the short girl back down. The roars of applause snapped (Y/N) out of her daze. Oh stars, did she really just blacked out? (Y/N) clasped her hands on her cheeks and buried her face back into Spinel’s chest whining childishly in embarrassment. The pink gem erupts into a belly laughter while she snakes her arms around (Y/N) a few times pulling her close.

“It’s not funny!” the short gem cries out making Spinel laugh harder.

“It’s a lil funny.”

……………………………………………………………………………………………….

Omg this was so much fun to write !! I hope you guys enjoyed the fluffffffff!!!!

I hope yall liked it! I will be taking a break but I will be very much active on here!

[evenmock]

hello i had a request to make a tutorial on how i made my mobile header and i always wanna do more on this blog so i was like why not <3 i’ve been using photoshop for awhile so these things just kinda come naturally to me so i hope i do okay at explaining these steps!! i’d say you need a basic understanding of photoshop for this but i tried breaking it down as much as possible <3

okay so first i make a gif i wanna use in the header, so for this lil tutorial im gonna be using a scene from spirited away!! there’s no specific dimensions for this part yet, just make sure it’s not a small gif u kno.

next you’re gonna wanna create a new file with the dimensions 3000 x 1055 (the tumblr header size) and fill in the background with any color u want!! so now you should have the 3000 x 1055 file and your gif in a different tab or somethin like:

so now, focusing on the 3000 x 1055 picture, take the rounded rectangle tool:

make any type of rectangle shape, any that’ll fit your gif at least!! it should look something like this after applying the settings, which i have on the side.

(if you can’t find this tab, go to the top of photoshop > window > properties!!)

then i go back to my gif i had made, convert it to timeline and taken select all the layers, right click, convert to smart object. so it should look something like this…

now drag that gif onto the 3000 x 1055 image and it should look something like this:

so now that you have the gif onto the header, right click on the gif layer in the column on the right and click “create clipping mask”. this will make it latch onto whatever layer is beneath it, so make sure you have your rounded rectangle layer beneath it!! then resize your gif to fit how you want in the rectangle. it should look something like this afterwards

now this part i always forget but its really important. there’s these little things that dictate where the gif begins/ends…

the symbols are circled, and the line is where the actual gif i made ends. so you want to drag the little symbol on the far right to line up with where your actual gif ends. this will help when you’re saving it at the end so there’s not just a long blank screen!!

so now with your gif in the rectangle, it’s time to style it however you want!! normally i go with some type of trend i see on tumblr or maybe a type of aesthetic that goes with it. for the sake of the tutorial, i’m going to style it similar to what my actual header looks like. i downloaded these formas that i honestly use all the time with graphics. it comes with quite a few different shapes and i normally just pick and choose the ones i think would look good behind the image. all of the formas have a gradient overlay, which i change to fit my image better. i make the gradient be 1. the background color i already have put down and 2. a complementary color from the gif. i resize them and place them to my liking and i end up with something like this:

now to add some little fun details i take the ellipse tool (under the same tab as where the rounded rectangle was!) and scatter small circles around the gif like this:

and for the final touch i like to add some clouds! for this i simply search “cloud png” on google and you should come up with a buncha results!! i usually pick one of the first few. this is the point when you can add a psd, make your own psd, etc… or keep it this way if you like it like that?! aaaand this is what i come up with:

so next: tumblr won’t play gifs that are over 3 MB so to be safe i like to resize the image so the length is now 2000 instead of 3000. select all the layers in the layer menu so you can move them down and also resize it to be smaller. it should end up looking something like this:

at this point, you’re done!! go to file > export > save for web or just use the shortcut shift + ctrl + alt + s and make sure it’s below 3 mb. when you upload it it’ll look real small like this:

but just zoom in and center it to your liking and your result should look something like this! (also i recommend hiding your icon if you wanna show off the gif but itll still look cute with the icon <3 )

Love-struck Heartthrob

Summary: Catherine has a crush and despite being the “local heartthrob” her whole, she’s never experienced real love before.

A/N: this is just a lil somethin to break my writing funk since the last fic i remeber writing was the most recent part of the Hades and Persephone thingy (which i might add to/revamp) Anyways, stan Cathy with emotional stupidity.  

Word count: 1245

💛💙💜

Love was a strange word and even stranger language. So strange in fact, Catherine Parr could never wrap her head around it. It was frustrating. All her life Catherine had a number of terrible names attached to her. "Playgirl", "heart throb", "vixen", "a tease", and most simply "a flirt". It simply wasn't fair to the poor girl. Years worth of ruined relationships and non stop name calling simply because she didn't like saying words she didn't understand.

This followed Catherine for years.

Hence being laid out in the middle of her bedroom (or the attic as anyone else would call it) floor surrounded by a mountain of books. Some closed, others filled to the brim with self made book marks, some even open and filled with annotations in a mix of messy scrawl and neat script. It was shocking to see-- Catherine had a strict "no books on the floor" policy and "no writing in old classical books" code as well-- However, in times of emotional distress, she had to let her own mistakes slide.

"Hey kid… wow are you okay?" Catalina peeked up through the attic entrance and flinched at the sight of her daughter's emotional drainage.

She entered the attic and maneuvered around the countless old classics littered on the floor. Catalina neatly stacked some unused notebooks and doodle pads and moved them to the side so she could sit down. "Come on, tell momma what's wrong." She pulled Catherine's head into her lap and gently ran her fingers through the dark brown curls.

"Niente è sbagliato." Catherine said softly and nuzzled into her mom's lap and tapped against her knee. "Just because I impulse bought a buncha books and I'm blasting my sad song playlist doesn't mean anything." She chuckled softly causing her mother to roll her eyes.

"Well that's what you said with Zoey, then again with that Ruby girl, also that Juno girl." Catalina raised her hand before her daughter could interject. "The first time." She sighed and shook her head. "So. Are you gonna tell me who's the girl and why you're so worked up about?"

Catherine shot up and turned towards her mother. "I- there is no girl! I may repeat a lot of things, but I meant it when I said I was done with all those little flings and heartbreaking shit! It's not the real me!" She huffed out and crossed her arms.

"Yeah I know, but no one mass buys a bunch of old classics such as 'Divine Comedy' and 'The Iliad' alongside books such as 'Jealousy' and 'Master your Emotions'." She squinted at Catherine's computer and chuckled. "How desperate do you have to be to go so far as to look at Apollo's love life?"

Catherine deflated and leaned against her mom. "I think..I get it now." She sighed softly. "Like this time feels different. I don't know what to do...what if I break her heart?"

"If you really do love her, you won't actually worry about that, dear." Catalina placed a gentle kiss on Catherine's forehead. "I know you may be feeling apprehensive about pursuing this person, considering your past relationships and all, but if you truly do love her, then I honestly don't see anything that's stopping you from pursuing her. I know you have a good heart and you're afraid to show it, but if you love her, I know that you'll trust her enough to let a little bit of your walls down around her. You care for her, and she cares for you too. So, nothing's stopping you, conejito. I just hope this girl makes you happy."

Catherine sniffled and wiped her eyes. "I just..I'm scared. She's just so nice and sweet a-and I really do love her. What if she hates me for having so many exes or like, I don't know, what if she isn't into nerds!" She nervously chewed on her knuckle only for her mom to pull her hand away. "Sorry…"

Catalina shook her head. "C'mon, you need to do something other than read a bunch of books and take notes." She stood and pulled Cathy up with her. "We're gonna make cookies." She chuckled as Catherine's face lit up. "See? Already feeling better."

They both climbed down the stairs and headed to the kitchen. Thankfully it was empty and clean. Catalina raised an eyebrow and looked at her daughter who nervously glanced away.

"Anyways, go and get the dry ingredients." Catalina pushed her daughter toward the cabinets and headed towards. She quickly grabbed two small bottles with 'AE' and 'VE' on them, eggs, sugar, brown sugar, chocolate chips, and butter. She placed everything onto the kitchen island and sighed, thankful she had not dropped anything. "If only I held you like that." She chuckled softly.

"What?!" Catherine turned around and furrowed her eyebrows. She placed the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon on the kitchen island and glared at her mother. "So you're directly responsible for my shitty love life? I'll be seeing you court." She giggled playfully, then pulled open the drawer in front of her and took out two wooden spoons and a sieve. "Here you can do the yucky- are those almonds?"

Catalina looked at the jar in her hand and back to her then nodded slowly. "Yeah, for the cookies. Hey don't make that face, they're good!" She rolled her eyes and put the jar to the side. "Fine no almonds, but we have to put something else in these cookies. No one likes plain cookies."

Catherine shrugged and began measuring out all of the ingredients. "Well, we can add marshmallows." She hummed softly while sifting the dry ingredients as her mother mixed in the wet ingredients. "I really hope these marshmallows don't catch fire in the span of 10 minutes." She snickered and slowly added both mixtures to one bowl and mixed them together.

Catalina shrugged and sprinkled some flour on the counter and dumped the cookie dough onto the counter. "Here roll it out and cut it up. My old lady arms can't roll that damn thing out." She handed the rolling pin and went to the sink.

Catherine shook her head and laughed as she began rolling down the mountain of cookie dough. She glanced out the side of her eye and smiled. "Oh, hey Kitty! Do you got any cookie shape requests?" Her cheeks heated up the longer she stared at the shorter girl.

Kitty smiled softly. "Oh yeah! Do you think you can make some little heart ones for me?" She looked up at the taller woman. Kitty had her usual twinkle in her eye. Granted, it only ever showed up when she did something she enjoyed, but Kitty enjoyed a lot of things. "Hey stay still." She stood up on her tiptoes and wiped a smudge of flour off of Catherine's cheek. "Well that's all, I'd love to help but I got homework to do!"

Catherine stood there in awe, watching the other girl walk away happily. She shook her head and turned around and squinted at her mother. "I don't wanna hear!" She blushed deeply and covered her ears before Catalina could start gushing. "Lalalala! I'm not listening, lalala!"

Catalina rolled her eyes and pulled her daughter into a hug. "You're such an idiot but you're my idiot." She kissed the top of her daughter's head and ruffled her dreadlocks. "Now it's time to get to cutting."

Totsuka: Kusanagi-san? I want to eat some omu-rice.

Izumo: This place ain’t an eatery, ya’ hear!? But well, I suppose that’s fine since you did start the fire up for me.

»» ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♔◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ««

Ran: Totsuka-senpai.

Totsuka: Hm? What’s up? Want to sit beside me?

Ran: Oh, okay. Don’t mind if I do.

Ran: The flames you made earlier were really awesome!

Totsuka: You think so? I’m glad to hear that. You see, I can’t produce large flames like Kusanagi-san and King.

Totsuka: I can manage something like a fireball if I try hard enough, but it’s physically draining for me to do so.

Totsuka: I wonder if you’re the same?

Ran: Me?

Totsuka: Yup. You didn’t quite receive the fire-controlling powers that’s basically the “bonus” one would get after entering this Club yet, but I can’t help but to wonder what form it’ll take if you did.

Ran: I think it’d be weak, considering how I can’t even control the powers that I naturally had.

Ran: It’d be great if I could freely use my powers like you can.

Ran: How do you summon up your power?

Totsuka: Me? I imagine it, I guess. I visualise it in my head and focus on my hand.

Ran: Imagine…

Totsuka: For example, I lit the stove up earlier by imagining that the fire was already on.

Izumo: Ya’ Omlette Rice’s done~

Totsuka: Yay~! Thank you for the meal!

Izumo: And here’s a Straight Tea for you. Feel free to add as much sugar and milk as you’d like.

Ran: Thank you!

Totsuka: About your power, how about you try manifesting it using the same method as me?

Ran: You mean, by visualising it?

Totsuka: Yup. All you have to do is to try it, right?

Ran: That’s true. I’ll try my hand at it!

Ran: (Focus on my hand and visualise it...)

Ran: (How should I even be imagining it to be...?)

Misaki: KamamotooOOO!!

Ran: --”Kamamoto”!?

Izumo: Yata-chan, you’re bein’ way too loud. Lower your volume.

Misaki: Ah, sorry about that. Have you seen Kamamoto?

Izumo: No, I haven’t. Ain’t he with you?

»» ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♔◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ««

Ran: Ugh, my finger’s tingling.

Totsuka: What’s wrong? Are you hurt?

Ran: No, I’m quite alright...Probably.

Ran: (My finger heated up...but nothing’s coming out.)

Ran: (I guess it’s also a good thing that nothing happened? I couldn’t help the image of Kamamoto-kun popping into my head after Yata-kun yelled for him...)

Ran: (If flames really did erupt from my fingertips, they might have actually taken the shape of a Kamamoto.)

Totsuka: From the looks of things, I guess my method isn’t an effective way for you to draw out your powers.

Ran: It appears so...Hmm…

Izumo: How ‘bout you go about it in the way one casts a spell?

Ran: A spell?

Izumo: Yup. It’s pretty common, don’t ‘cha think? That whole “Tweedly, Twaddly, do-!” kinda’ thing?

Totsuka: ...Kusanagi-san, what on earth is that?

Izumo: It’s a spell; a spell, I say!

Totsuka: I can kinda’ feel a generation gap between us…

Izumo: Attachin’ words to the power you’re trying to draw out; I’d say there’s some meanin’ to doin’ it at least.

Izumo: What the chant consists of doesn’t actually matter. Unless, well...It’s a different story if Totsuka’s going to be givin’ ya’ and alternative.

Totsuka: Uh, I guess...How about you try the while “Tweedly, Twaddly, do-!” thing first?

Ran: Got it; I’ll try!

Ran: (It’s a little embarrassing but I’ll still try it!)

Ran: “Tweedly, Twaddly, do-!!”

Totsuka: ……

Izumo: ……

Ran: ...Hmm, nothing’s really ha-

Izumo: Wha-!?

»» ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♔◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ««

Ran: A-Are you okay, Kusanagi-san!?

Totsuka: Kusanagi-san; it’s only Spring. Won’t you say it’s still too early to be playing around with water?

Izumo: As if I intended to do so! This must be…

Ran: ...It’s my ability’s fault after all, isn’t it…

Totsuka: Based on the timing, I suppose so.

Totsuka: The power to drench Kusanagi-san! I approve!!

Izumo: It just so happened to be directed at me, so it the target ain’t fixed or anythin’!

Totsuka: Really? How about we try it one more ti-

Izumo: No that’s-! That’s quite alright! It’s terrifying enough thinking about the what ifs...Achoo! I should hurry and find a towel before I actually catch a cold from this.

»» ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♔◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ««

Ran: I did something bad to him…

Totsuka: It’s fine, all’s well! It was inevitable, after all.

Totsuka: I guess it’s safe to say that the powers you have are of the water-affinity.

Ran: Doesn’t my power cause an imbalance? I mean, everyone’s wielding fire powers and all, and here I am...with water…

Izumo: Don’t think so much ‘about the odds and ends, you’ll never see the end of it so it’s a complete waste of time.

Ran: Kusanagi-san!

Izumo: You’re here because Mikoto has adknowledged you as one of us. Therefore, you’re a true, pure and proven member of the Red Club.

Izumo: ‘Sides, this isn’t the first time you’ve come to the realization that you’re different from the rest of the guys here, right?

Ran: Kusanagi-san…

Totsuka: Kusanagi-san’s so cool!!

Izumo: I know, right?

Totsuka: You’re a little un-cool with your clothes being as wet as they are, though.

Izumo: You’re so annoyin’, ya’ lil’ prick! Leave it be!

Ran: (It’s kind of surprising that a simple chant was all it took to summon my powers, but at least now I know that I can consciously use it.)

Ran: Thank you. I’ve finally begun to understand a little of my own powers thanks to the both of you.

Ran: It’s really just a little, but I’m glad I’m now a step closer to being able to control it!

Izumo: That’s right. You can just take your time and proceed on step-by-step. Take as long as you need to make it into somethin’ of your own.

Izumo: You’ll gain experience if you continue on like this, one step at a time, and you’ll be able to fully control your powers one day. I guarantee it.

Ran: Haha, thank you.

Ran: (My water powers...I really hope I can get to finally control this ability of mine one day just like he says...)

Ran: (It would be great if I could.)

Next Scene: Student Days

[screwtheprinceimtakingthehorse]

Introducing: ko-fi rewards

As of April 15, my company is going into short-term work. That means that our work hours will be cut to 50%, as will our base salary; and then the government subsidises up to 67% of the difference. That leads to a pay cut of 15-20% for most employees, depending on whether they have children, etc. As I'm lucky enough to still have a job, this leaves me financially stable and secure. I'm ok. For now, this is slated to last until the end of June.

I'm still working towards my Ko‑fi goal to pay for the renewal of my BahnCard. The other thing I'm trying to put money away for (and what this pay cut is mainly eating into) is moving house next year (💖).

That's why, going forward in 2021, I'll add supporters only content to my ko-fi; probably in the shape of blog posts and original fiction. But that's, for now, only in the concept stage. What I can do now, however, is to provide rewards for anyone who supports me.

Any donation will receive a drabble (in case of multiple coffees, more words). Just add a pairing, a fandom, or a one-word prompt to your note and you'll receive a lil somethin-somethin as a thank-you.

Of course, you can also still commission me. Since I'll be having a lot more time on my hands come April 15, I'll up total commission slots and also set individual limits depending on commission type to make availability more transparent.

I know that times are tough for all of us, and money's tight. Like I said, I'm not in trouble, just looking for support wherever people are in a good place to give it. Sharing this post in itself counts as doing that <3

The Ink Demonth: Dark/Light

Warning: slight mention of violence.

__________________________________

Dark empty void.

Disturbing.

Unnatural.

Creepy.

Those were some of the words that people used to define his eyes.

They would even become even more disturbed and creeped out by him after noticing them. Which was why he decided to hide them with his ink.

He could barely see anything, but at least that meant that he couldn't see them clearly either. Call him weak but he just couldn't take the way they would look at him, judging him.

If only he couldn't hear them either…

What did he even do to deserve such treatments? He just got created a week ago!

But since his vision was blurry and darkened, he had a hard time traveling without bumping into things and people. He even would bump his head and got his wings stuck to the handle when trying to pass through a door. So he decided to find a way to walk easier.

At first he tried to use his hands to feel his surroundings, but he soon stoped doing that when someone got scared and screamed which startled him so much that he ended up accidently scratching them. He didn't stay long after hearing other screams: one pained and the other horrified.

After that incident, he decided to use his sensitive hearing instead. It was difficult at first but after a week, he began to get the hang of it. And for a time things were begining to get better.

Until...

He was roaming around the studio until he heard rapid footsteps coming towards him. He stopped to let the person walk past him, but instead of doing just that, they seemed to have stopped in front of him and instantly -and quite harshly- grabbed his arm then began to drag him somewhere.

Of course he could easily stop the man, but the deep bond he felt from the man prevented him from doing that.

He knew who this man was.

He was his Creator.

So he knew he could trust him. After all, was the one who created him which meant he wouldn't possibly hurt him…

… Right?

He was soon proven wrong when he found himself chained to a chair with the chains going through his hands, shoulders, feet and even his neck.

His Creator was gone and he now left all alone with the pain and the darkness.

After 2 years of being imprisoned, a new man arrived. He was nicer. He gave him a name and freed him from his painful containment.

Heh 'Inky'... He liked that name.

The man, uncle Tom, even helped him relearn how to walk and get used to his surroundings. He knew he would need that since now that he was only allowed to get out of his uncle's house at night, his world would become pitch black.

By the time he met the toons, he could now use echolocalisation to help him walk around the lower levels. For almost 2 years, there was only darkness around him.

And for a long time, he thought that it will always stay like this.

Until…

"Hey Inky?" Bendy asked his younger brother. "Can I ask ya somethin'?"

The taller demon let go of his toy to sign: [Sure, go ahead!]

"Do you have eyes?"

Saying that he was taken aback would be big misunderstanding.

Inky felt several pair of eyes expectently staring at him and immediately became nervous.

He even heard Tom stop doing whatever he was doing. It seems like even the man was curious to know the answer.

So, the ink demon hesitantly signed:

[Yes.]

"Really? Can ya show 'em?" his older brother excitedly asked.

They weren't prepared for his answer though.

[No.]

"Why?" Boris asked.

[Because you won't like me anymore if I show them…] Inky looked away, he couldn't bare to look at them anymore.

"Why would we?" asked the little devil darling asked, now worried.

[Because…] Inky hesitated for a moment before finally saying: [They're freaky.]

"Oh no dear! We would never stop loving you just because of that!" Alice reassured her younger brother.

"Yeah! And d'you wanna' know a 'lil secret?" Bendy adds.

Now Inky became curious. [Yes.]

"I also have freaky eyes! They mostly appear when I'm angry, but I can show ya if ya show us yours!"

"BENDY!" Tom and Alice exclaimed.

"What?! Y'all are curious too!" the small (Bendy: HEY!) demon replied.

Tom just sighed and was about too tell the taller demon that he didn't have to do it if he didn't want to, but was cut off by latter, who was actually wiping the ink from his eyes with his gloved hand.

They were now all looking at him expectently.

When Inky wiped the ink, he opened his eyes…

Only to close them again after being blinded by the light.

Tom immediately closed the lights. "There, it should be better now."

Inky opened again his eyes. And was met by completely shocked looks, which made him extremely nervous and regret showing them his eyes.

Until…

"*squee* SPARKLY EYES!!!!!" Bendy yelled.

The others' shocked face turned to awe and amazement too, leaving him completely speechless.

"Aww! They're so pretty!" Boris said with a big smile.

"I agree! Why would you ever think of them as being freacky?" Alice asked.

Inky was so embarassed that he hid himself with his large wings. He wasn't used to all these compliments.

"Oh c'mon 'lil bro! Don't be so shy!" the devil darling exclaimed, trying get the younger sibling 

to stop hiding.

"Heh, You know what kid? Those eyes look a lot like the night sky." Tom remarked.

It got the ink siblings' attention, even Inky stopped hiding to look at the mechanic curiously.

"Mister Tom? Could ya tell us how it looks like?" Boris asked.

"At night, the sky a really dark blue, almost black. It's quite scary for some people," Inky lowers his head in shame, only to look back up when his uncle adds "but, when little white orbs appear to light the sky, it becomes a really beautiful sight."

"What are these little white orbs?" asked Alice.

Tom looks at Inky with warm smile.

"Stars."

Inky's cheeks are covered by a dark grey hue at that. He then covers himself again with his wings.

But when he remembers something, he looks at Bendy and signs [Your turn.]

"Huh? Oh yeah! Here gimme a sec." Bendy closes his eyes and opens them to reveal that his eyes were no longer their usual pie-cut shaped form. Instead, they were more detailed with circular white irises, small pupils, and wide black outlines that resembled eye-sockets.

"See? I told ya I've got freaky eyes!" He chuckled at his younger brother's shocked face. "Too bad I can't use them to scare people though."

"'Scare people'? Not with your 2 feet tall size." the mechanic snorted, which the cartoon demon responded with an indgnant 'hey!'.

Everyone laughed  at that until Tom told the toons that it's getting late and to go back on the upper levels before Joey notices their absence. They begrudgingly comply and leave the man's office.

Tom looks a the younger ink demon aand sees that he's still processing what heppened. The man narrows his eyes, he didn't say anything but he had en idea about Inky's reason to cover his eyes.

"You don't have to change yourself because some jerks are too blind to see through your appearence." Inky startles a bit, he completely forgot his uncle's presence. The man walks towards him and pets his head, before adding "You're a good kid, don't let anyone tell you otherwise."

"I should go now, my wife is waiting for me. And I think you should go explore a bit with your eyes uncovered." he then leaves the demon to himself.

After contemplating what the mechanic said, he finally decided to do what his uncle adviced him. Maybe he'll find new things now that he could see clearly again.

When he went to explore, he was completely fascinated. He never realised how much he missed colors and light until now.

The next few weeks passed with Inky taking some stuff to Tom's and asking the man and his siblings what they were and what did they do.

He also decided to stop hiding himself because as long as his family loved him he would try to learn how apreciate himself.

And thus, the darkness that used to surround him was replaced by a blinding yet warm light.

Diabolik Lovers GRAND EDITION for Switch ;; More, Blood ー Yuma Ecstasy [Epilogue]

ー The scene starts with a flashback in the forest

Bear: Haah...Haah...

( Once I’ve safely escaped...I’m heading straight to the hideout. I’m worried about the lil’ ones. )

( Besides, some of the other guys who got lucky and survived might have returned there as well. )

( I’m sure Ruki-kun and the others will tag along once I explain the situation to them. )

( ...Even if there’s nothing left, that’ fine too...When that happensーー )

*BANG*

Bear: ...Ah?

Orphanage employee: There they are! There’s four of them in total!! Seize them!

ー The screen fades to black

Bear: ( ...Why...? My legs are...giving in... )

*THUD*

ー The scene shifts to the orphanage

Bear: ( ...My body hurts...The fuck is going on...? I can’t move. I can’t...hear very well either... )

( ...The smell of blood...Is it coming from me...? )

( Aah...Honestly, I don’t even know if it hurts or not at this point... )

...I’m sorry...Boss...

ー A flashback ensues to Boss’ death

Bear: ーー Boss! Oi, you’ve gotta be kidding me!? Hang in there!

Lucks: ...Bear...Run...

Bear: Fuck off! What kind of henchman would I be if I just left my Boss for dead!?

Oi, I’m begging you...! Stand! Let’s run away together...!!

Lucks: Please, just go! You dumbass...! The soldiers...Will be back soーー ...Ugh...!

Bear: Boss!!

Lucks: ...Look up, Bear...

Aah...Damnit...I’m about to die over here...Yet the sky is so frustratingly...blue...

Say...I told you, didn’t I...? That under this sky, everyone’s...equal...

ー The flashback ends

Bear: ( ...If I had known I would die in this hellhole...I would have much rather perished back then... )

( If I have to die...I’d at least want to go underneath the same sky as Boss did...Fuck... )

( ...I don’t want to die here...I still haven’t...accomplished anything... )

( ... )

???: ーー Poor child.

Bear: ( ...Who’s there? )

???: ...Would you perhaps care for eternal life?

Bear: ( ...I don’t care who you are. If I die here, things will end before I get to do anything... )

( I’m gonna...fulfill Boss’ wish...right...!? )

...I do...

*TIMESKIP*

ー The scene shifts to Karlheinz’ room

Karlheinz: Ruki, Kou, Yuma, Azusa. Come here.

Yuma: ...

Ruki: Oi, Yuma.

Yuma: Ah? ...Oh, you’re talking to me?

Karlheinz: Are you still having trouble adjusting to your new name?

Yuma: My bad...

Karlheinz: Just take your time. You still have plenty of time ahead of you after all.

Well then, come here. Let us enjoy a cup of tea.

*Cling*

Yuma: ...

Karlheinz: Is something the matter, Yuma?

Yuma: What’s this? ...No, what could this be? (1)

Karlheinz: Hm? Aah, this is sugar. You’ve never seen it before?

Yuma: Sugar? ...It has a weird shape.

Karlheinz: They’re shaped like flowers. These are called roses. Show me your hand, Yuma. You should try one.

Yuma: ...Thank you very much. Nn...

Karlheinz: What do you think?

Yuma: ....Hella delicious!! I’ve never had somethin’ this good!

Ruki: Yuma! Watch your language! 

Karlheinz: Ruki, I don’t mind. Do you want another one, Yuma?

Yuma: Hell yeah!! ...I mean yes. (2)

Karlheinz: Then how about this? If you make me happy, I shall give you sugar as a reward.

Yuma: Make you happy...What should I do then?

Karlheinz: As a Vampire, I want you to become a formidable individual. (3) You will have to try your very hardest for that.

For you children to become Adam. That would make me happier than anything.

Yuma: Try my best to become Adam...?

Karlheinz: Is that a little difficult still? Then for starters, I shall give you some if you study hard tomorrow.

Yuma: ...Yes!

Kou: You’re so easy, Yuma-kun~

Yuma: Shut it!

ー The flashback ends as the scene shifts to Yuma’s room

Yuma: ...

( ...I owe him my life. I have to return the favor. )

( ...But... )

ー Yui enters the room

Yui: Yuma-kun, the tea is ready.

...Huh? You’re eating sugar again? But I brought you some cake as well.

Yuma: Don’t worry. There’s always room for sugar. (4)

Yui: You’re talking like a girl...

*Cling*

Yuma: You’ll get what I mean if ya have a taste as well. It’s addicting, ya know?

Yui: If I start eating sugar cubes whole, I’ll gain weight in no time.

Actually, how come you never pack on the pounds? It’s no fair...

Yuma: Who knows? Maybe ‘cause I’m a Vampire? Maybe you’ll understand if ya become one as well? Wanna put it to the test?

Yui: It’s a little tempting, so please don’t tempt me...

Yuma: Hah, you’re so easy. Well, not that I can judge ya.

Come on, open yer mouth.

Yui: You’ll give me some?

Yuma: Today’s an exception. I’ll make ya my partner in crime.

Yui: Partner in crime? Nom...

Yuma: It melted a lil’. Lick my finger while you’re at it. 

Yui: ...Nn...

Yuma: Good, right?

Yui: Nn, it’s good but...Very sweet.

Yuma: It’s sugar after all.

Yui: I’ve been wondering about this for a while but, how come you like sugar this much?

You don’t really eat that many other desserts, do you?

Yuma: ...

'Cause sugar tastes of sin.

Yui: Taste of sin?

Yuma: I remember every time I eat it. ...The crime I’m ‘bout to commit.

Yui: ...I don’t quite get it.

Yuma: In short, you’re my partner in crime since ya had some alongside me.

ー Yuma moves closer

Yuma: ...Don’t try and get away, Yui.

Yui: Eh...?

*Rustle*

*Thud*

Yuma: You’re the one who told me not to give up. If there’s even a sliver of hope left for me to become Adam, I will keep fightin’ for it.

I’ll take yer everythin’...Makin’ it so ya can’t think ‘bout anyone but me. 

Yui: ...

Yuma: Don’t tremble...I’m not tryin’ to spook ya or anythin’.

I won’t be gentle with ya, but I’ll at least listen to yer wishes, ‘kay? ...What do ya want me to do?

Yui: ...I guess ‘nothing’ isn’t an option...?

Yuma: Unfortunately for you, it isn’t. Besides...Right now, yer smell is tellin’ me ya don’t really dislike this, ya know?

Yui: M-My scent...?

Yuma: Yer expression too...If anything, ya seem to be waitin’ for it?

Yui: That’s not...

Yuma: Really?

*Rustle*

Yui: Nn...!

Yuma: See? I can smell it. This scent...of you waitin’ for me...

Yui: Nn...Phew...

Yuma: ...Haah...

*Creaaak*

Yuma: ...I won’t betray him.

However...I won’t hand you over either...Not to anyone...!

Yui: ( Yuma-kun’s lips taste sweet...Like sugar... )

Yuma: ...Sugar really tastes of sin. It keeps on temptin’ me.

Don’t ya feel the same? Right, Yui...?

ーー TO BE CONTINUED ーー

Translation notes

(1) Yuma fixes his own speech when talking to Karlheinz, using the casual なんだ or ‘nanda’ first, before changing it to the much more polite なんですか or ‘nan desu ka?’

(2) Once again, he initially just says 食べたい or ‘tabetai’ which is casual, but then quickly adds the ‘desu’. Since these are linguistic features typical of the Japanese language, it is very difficult to translate them to English. ^^;;

(3) 一人前 or ‘ichininmae’ is one of those concepts which is very much linked to Japanese culture. It is often referred to people who have found a stable job and are contributing to society, fulfilling their role in life.

(4) This is a pun on the Japanese idiom 甘いものは別腹 or ‘amai mono wa betsubara’, which literally means ‘sweets go into a different stomach’.
