#kinda wanna flee the country and not look back

[diazheartsbuckley]

Am I gonna treat this as a diary right now? Definitely yes

Are yall free to scroll through my ramblings?

Also most definitely

So some of you might know that I became single a few months back because my gf at the time and I grew apart and had our differences regarding the future

And I’ve been okay with that choice. Hell I still am because neither of us were happy anymore. But we were still living together after the breakup and when she moved out, we were still kinda seeing each other

Then we didn’t see or talk to each other for a couple of weeks, a deal we put in place so that we’d have time to move forward and actually be broken up

Had dinner before I went to visit a friend in Canada for two weeks

And now I’m back and I’ve been back for a couple of weeks now and somehow nothing feels real

I’ve got my new apartment and it’s amazing even though I haven’t settled in completely yet

Sometimes I just forget why I’m here. By myself. And I can feel myself dissociating. I’ll go to work and a few hours later, I’ll have forgotten all about it.

I don’t feel much of anything these days. The whole announcing a new name is the one thing that’s really brought me any real joy since I came back.

I also don’t write that much anymore. I can’t focus on anything. I have so many ideas but none of them seem to stick or fully grasp my attention.

I don’t know where I’m going with this and I’m also not expecting any answers.

I’m just…I’m just tired

[sleeplessdreamer14]

Okay so imma need more twin Zuku hcs for my mental health✨

when I say ride or die I mean you’re prepared to flee the country together if need be

two peas in a pod fr

Inko has a dozen photos of the two of you in matching Halloween costumes and stuff

all through your lives, you’ve always had Izuku’s back whether you have a quirk or not, always there for him when the world was beating him down

so when he got One For All from All Might, he saw it as his chance to return the favor

also if you do have a quirk, he’s got at least 2 whole pages dedicated to it like whether it was directly inherited from of your parents or maybe it was recessive, etc.

not to mention the twin esp it’s like your shared sixth sense

your allergies also act up at the same time

heavens forbid one of you start to cry because then the other’s gonna start crying and that’s just gonna be a mess

you may not have the exact same interests, but you share the same passionate spirits

Bakugou is… not necessarily scared of you, maybe intimidated is a more appropriate word

because you’ve been willing to square tf up with him in junior high

also you’re the only other person he allows to call him Kacchan

one time All Might called for “Young Midoriya” and you both turned your heads at the same time

it was as adorable as it sounds

when Izuku enrolled at UA but you were going to a different school, you both had to learn to cope with the separation, especially when he moved into the dorms

when you come to visit, he just casually carried you around on piggy back for a little bit because he didn’t wanna let you go (also cuz he wanted to show off a lil bit how he was now able to carry you w/out breaking a sweat)

also by the time you finally get around to meeting his classmates, it’s almost as if they’ve met you already because of how much your brother has told them about you

when Aizawa found out about you, his immediate thought was oh my god, there’s two of them.

upon realizing class 1A’s problem child had a twin, he could practically feel his first grey hair come in

my lord if one of his classmates developed a crush on you :0

his reaction heavily depends on who it is

but that’s a story for another time 😉

he makes sure to grape juice far away from you tho

one time you two fell asleep snuggled together on one of the couches in the common space while watching something on your ipad

Mina took a bunch of pics and Ochako almost cried

Kirishima admires how strong your guys’ bond is and thinks it’s super manly how you two always come through for one another

you 🤝 Iida : willing to do anything for your brothers

if you’ve got a fav pro hero, Izuku will do his best to get the opportunity for you to meet them

one of you gets seriously hurt, look out world

the league of villains is honestly kinda hesitant to target you and that’s saying something

[the-kipsabian]

I've been missing my ocs lately i havent done much with them except the occasional picrew or teeny doodle. This is long and I'm holding back fdbknfkg. They aren't wrestling OCs tho.

A little context for them: i have many in this shared universe, pairs that connect thru their dreams and then another one of those pairs is ensuring their fate(death). then after they die they turn into monsters/anthros/etc the most recent dream pairing becomes the fate pair for the next dream pair. if that makes sense lol.

The main pair are Dani and Cade. Cade is a prince trying to aid the like rebellion against the monarchy esp his Homicidal Dictator Father/King. Dani is trying to deal with her mother being in a coma and having to live with her kinda shitty stepdad. she's becoming more comfortable with her sexuality as a lesbian, unfortunately her next serious gf turns into a super fucked up Homicidal stalker (idr the motives specifically but she was somehow influenced by Cade's dad). She's in grad school and did Cross Country for a long time and is starting to consistently place in like the top 10-20 or whatever. then Things start Happening and Dani has to flee from her ex, to her fate persons (Pam) apt. The same time the King is getting stronger and things aren't looking great. His fate person (Haller) helps him escape assassination attempts and they run off into the woods together. Get cursed by a witch bc shes super sus of Haller's presence and both of them get turned into furries lol. Cade into a Raven and Haller an Owl but sometimes I think of changing it to smth else. rn i have 5? pairs i blieve. i could go on. Here's a picrew of Cade(L) and Haller(R)

OHHHOOOHOHOHOHOOO THIS IS SO GOOD THO!! i love the sound of this idea so much, its so coooooooool i always love interesting twists to the connected by fate trope omg (if you have more i'll happily listen if you wanna share this is so interesting!!)

Landstalker JP manual - Prologue

Note: the manual mixes up Nigel's narration with pictures and dialogues that aren't necessary at the same point in the narrative. I felt this could get extra confusing given how I format things in this blog, with the translation text also separate from the images, so I reordered things in a way I hope will flow better. That's all, enjoy five pages of dorks.

Prologue - Landstalker Story Many centuries ago, there was an infamous king who ruled this land, King Nole. He built a most extravagant palace, and beyond that, gathered treasures from all around the world. However, the population, who had been suffering under him, gathered under three leaders to form a resistance, and at last dethroned King Nole. After that, the three leaders founded many countries, and peace reigned once more. But even after all this time, no one knows what happened to King Nole and his vast treasures, and they became a legend passed on through the generations.

A man stood in the marketplace of the town of Kalva. He's the protagonist of this adventure, Nigel.

Old merchant: Hey, young elf over there! Buy these EkeEke fruits, c'mon! Nigel: I don't need that kinda stuff. Old merchant: Hey, eat one before you say that, here. Nigel: They're sour, and really bad!!!!

The name's Nigel. I'm a treasure hunter. I risked my neck to get the Hidden Treasure of Jypta, and came back to Kalva to give it to my "esteemed client" and get my reward. We'll meet for business tomorrow. While hanging around town, I ended up buying some weird fruit.

The morning of our agreement came. I wanna get my money for the treasure of Jypta, and then relax… Don't wanna get into another mess for a treasure in a while, even a guy who loves his job like me needs a break sometimes. I got the promised payment in the promised meeting place. All done. That moment, some small thing flew on my bag looking for help. "I'm being followed, let's flee together", huh, so it's a girl? Then a weird trio came up to me. "Hand over that girl to me!", the woman is their boss then? I could easily drive them off with my sword, but letting things escalate is a pain, and I'm not a fan of hitting women. Like the gentleman I am, I ran away with my "baggage".

Kayla: Hand over the girl inside that bag of yours! Ink: Hand over. Wally: Yeah, that. Nigel: What nonsense are these guys saying? The heck do you want!

Friday: My name's Friday. Nigel: First time I see a Succubus, but what do you want with me?

Me and my bag's contents made out of the town while running from those weird three. Out of the bag came a small devil girl named Friday. She told me those three are called Kayla, Ink and Wally, some stubborn guys who had been chasing her around. But what really surprised me was that she brought up "the treasures of King Nole". Anyone who calls themselves a treasure hunter has tried for these mythical treasures. This little girl (though she's apparently older than me) knows of a mystery no one ever managed to get their hands on. And she says "I could tell you even more if you became my servant". Damn it, for Nole's treasures I'll even become a slave!

Kayla: You two, I'll make you regret letting them escape this time!

According to Friday, there's a hint about King Nole's treasures on the Mercator Island to the east of the mainland. Mercator is an island crawling with monsters, even adventurers like us keep away from it. But I can't get cold feet because of stuff like that. We flew on the back of the beast bird Deldrichy the Third to a high point of the island, taking the first step of our great adventure into the land of Mercator.

The secret lies in the mystery island of Mercator!? What awaits Nigel and Friday there?

Notes:

I tried to stick to the US version's names, but I don't think the bird's name was mentioned anywhere in that so that's my own romanization. As far as I can tell it has no particular meaning other than sounding comically fancy.

Friday uses "atai" as her first person pronoun here, while using only "atashi" through the actual game. To my knowledge "atai" is a bit more childish, but I'll admit I don't know much about it so take that with a grain of salt, I just figured I'd point out the inconsistency.

Also damn, that map has writings on it huh, someone should have thought of translating it before starting this post.

Maple is where Nigel and Princess Lara are from, Gamul is where Duke Mercator is from, also seems to be kinda like, the main country in the continent. I don't recall Lanpart, Honomu or Chica being mentioned anywhere, so romanization is mine. Green definitely gets brought up at some point, but I forgot where so, oopsie.

post-election thoughts

i've spent a lot of time trying to get my thoughts together on how to move forward in the wake of the us election results. after giving it some thought and listening to the advice of some creators, i wanna share some points i feel might be useful. some are more practical, some is more emotional. everything below the break.

the way things are going now, barring something sudden and unprecedented (we're all free to hope and dream of course), donald trump will be the next us president. this is no longer something we can control and we need to accept that. what we can control is our response.

first things first, get some important documents ready, most important being your passport. if you don't have one, get one. if you have one, make sure it's updated. if you're part of any marginalized population or even just a white cishet dissenter (thanks for being an ally if you are), there is a non-zero chance that you may have to flee the country. there are countries out there that will accept americans seeking asylum, that's something to look into and be ready for.

second, get with your community. if you don't have a specific community you're actively involved in, find one and get involved. whatever it is, find something to build community and relationships with others around. whether it's fellow queer people in your area, or civil rights advocacy groups or the local gaming scene or local musicians or the folks in the stands of your favorite soccer team (on that last one: some MLS supporter groups are openly antifascist. not all of them, but some of them. just a thought if you're a sports person). point is, be with a community and be active about forming relationships and building trust with the folks there. both you and they are going to need a support network of some kind, and there's no time like the present.

third, also kinda sorta related to the second, find a political organization and join it. look into the myriad existing organizations out there. join the one that matches your values best and, again, get active and involved. whether it's democratic socialists of america, the industrial workers of the world, the freedom road socialist organization, the revolutionary communists of america, the maoist communist union (cue the mcu jokes), mutual aid disaster relief, socialist rifle association, socialist alliance or whatever. just find an org, join it, get out there with your comrades and allies. minor point: the time for shit talking other leftists over what little differences you actually have has passed. the time for unity is now. not ten years down the road, not within the next few months, not tomorrow. now.

fourth, if you can get away with it talk with your coworkers about organizing a union. unions are good for workers and if what we know about the republican agenda thus far is any indication, we're all going to need a union to back us up. may day 2028 might seem far off but if the uaw plan is put into effect then that'll be an important day for american labor, so the time to organize and make some kind of plan is now. we got about 4 years, make the most of that time.

fifth, and just as important as all earlier points, do not lose hope. the right wants you to feel demoralized, defeated, and alone. don't give them that. whatever keeps you going, be it love or pure spite or the amusement of being an annoying obstructionist and getting in republicans' way, hold onto it. hold onto the people you love and care for. we've lost this battle, but it's neither the first nor last battle for us. hold on, keep your head high, move forward.

last, just remember: you are not alone. you will get through, and you will overcome. the sun will rise on us again. that's all i have for now. check in on your friends, stay safe, take a breath and take breaks as needed.

soon, we're gettin' busy.

Anime Recommendations!

Hi everyone, I hope y’all are safe and happy! With quarantine still in place (at least in my country), I’m gonna keep the random rec lists coming! I’ve been watching a lotttt of animes and rewatching favourites, so I thought I’d share some of my favourites of all time! A lot of them are pretty mainstream, but for my friends who aren’t really into anime, these will get you hooked! In no particular order, let’s get started!

1. Snow White with the Red Hair, 24 episodes 

This is hands down my favourite anime of all time. This shoujo anime make me feel so happy and it’s so wholesome, honestly such a feel good anime. Without spoiling too much, it’s about a herbalist named Shirayuki who ends up having to flee her home country and ends up meeting Prince Zen and goes to live in his country. The cast of characters in the anime is so good, there’s not a character to dislike. The genuine build up of friendship and eventual romance is just so sweet please watch. 

2. Demon slayer (26 episodes) 

One of the best anime I’ve watched this past year. This anime has amazing plot, awesome animation and a great cast of characters. This anime follows Tanjiro as he becomes a demon slayer after a demon killed his family. Tanjiro and his sister, Nezuko were the only survivors but Nezuko was turned in a demon and now Tanjiro is on a journey to change he back into a human. If you are into anime with amazing fight scenes, I highly recommend. 

3. Hunter x Hunter (148 episodes) 

I am currently watching this anime and it honestly made it onto my lists of favourite anime super quickly. The series starts with Gon and his quest to become a pro hunter and find his dad and goes on from there. With so many episodes and arcs, you can’t stop watching. The characters immediately hooked me on this show, Killua and Gon’s friendship is one of the sweetest things I’ve ever seen in anime, I literally want to adopt both of them. This anime is so heartwarming but also kinda dark and action packed. 

4. Haikyuu!! (73 episodes, on-going)

My favourite sports anime my god. Haikyuu follows a high school volleyball team as they try to make it to nationals. This series made me so much more emotional than I thought it would, but you get so involved with the team and characters and want them to succeed. All of the characters from all of the teams are also fantastic and hilarious. If you need a fun but exciting anime, please please please watch Haikyuu!!

5. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (64 episodes)

Where to even begin. I would say this is one of the most popular anime and for good freaking reason. Without giving too much away, this anime follows brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric as they go on a quest to get their bodies back. Honestly this is one of my fav animes, if you like awesome fight scenes and really intriguing plot, you will love this anime. 

6. Yona of the Dawn (24 episodes) 

Another amazing anime but sadly, unfinished. I think this anime is best to watch w/o knowing very much. Just know that there is really good characters and character development and a very attractive love interest :))))

7. Soul eater (51 episodes) 

One of the first animes I ever watched and as I remember it’s hella awesome, if you like halloween then the whole atmosphere of this anime will intrigue you. The fight scenes in this are really fun and so are the characters. If you need a fun medium length anime, I would recommend this one!

8. Inuyasha (193 episodes)

This anime is worth all the hype in my opinion. The plot was great, the characters are fantastic and romance is so freaking cute I can’t. I’m also a sucker for asshole characters who are secretly really sweet. 

9. Fruits Basket (2019) (25 episodes (S1), S2 on-going)

This is the cutest anime. The whole cast characters is amazing and you get so attached so fast. The protagonist is so sweet and optimistic and I really just wanna protect her. I went into this knowing next nothing and I think that’s the best way to do it. The 2001 version is good too but 2019 has better animation and is closer to managa (and has more episodes!). 

10. My Hero Academia (88 episodes, on-going)

I love this anime with my whole heart. There is an adorable cast of characters and amazing fight scenes, I love this sm. It’s set in a world where like 95% of the population has ‘quirks’ which are basically super powers but not all of them are super powerful. Super heroes protect cities and the anime follows a high school where the students are training to become heroes. The main character is born without a quirk but through some crazy circumstances he ends up acquiring one. In my opinion this anime is worth the hype. 

11. Ouran Highschool Host Club (26 episodes)

This one is wild. Ouran Highschool Host club is so iconic and it’s hilarious, I laughed out loud watching this one so much. Honestly I went into this knowing nothing and I think its funnier that way. 

12. Yuri!!! On Ice (13 episodes)

THIS ANIME. The first sports anime w/ canon LGBTQ+ romance and its beautiful. I love the style, the skating, the music, the characters, just everything about it. This follows Yuri Katsuki, a professional figure skater from Japan and his skating career. After messing up a major championship, Yuri is lost and doesn’t know what to do w/ his career. After seeing a video of Yuri skate, his idol Victor, a skating legend, shows up to be his coach. Please watch this anime. 

13. Attack on Titan (62 episodes, on-going)

If you are looking for a badass action anime this is the one for you. Humanity has fallen to the mercy of giant man-eating titans, and the people that survived live within a walled city to keep the titans out. This anime is a little disturbing and violent but it is so badass. Also Levi, the most badass character ever, makes this entire anime worth watching. 

14. Ao Haru Ride (12 episodes)

Hands down my favourite romance anime. This anime is so freaking cute and it gave me so many fuzzy feelings. The animation is also super nice so that is always a plus. It follows Futaba and Kou who liked each other in middle school but were separated. They meet again in high school but they have both changed so much. If you want a romance anime I really recommend this one. 

15. Naruto (720 episodes)

This is a freaking classic and really long. Almost everyone and their mother has heard of this anime or watched some of it before. Basically it’s about ninjas and follows mainly Naruto Uzumaki who want to eventually be the leader of his village but his ninja skills need a lot of work. I honestly didn’t think I would love this anime as much as I did but its just so good. It is a very big commitment to finish though so be prepared. 

16. Your Lie in April (22 episodes)

Well this anime is literally beautiful. It is centered around 2 teens w/ major musical talent. It gets deep very fast but its also light hearted and wholesome. This anime made me cry like a baby so get your tissues ready.

Hi! I love your writing and wanted to request some headcannons of Fred falling for and eventually dating Rons female best friend, so like two-ish years younger than him?

let me tell you i love this idea.

ok

i think up until like

honestly

your sixth year

fred would think of you as this little dorky girl who was always spending way too much time with his little dorky brother

also for the sake of the story Volde-BITCH isn't around

anyway

so fred's been out of Hogwarts for a year now

ron and the gang 😤 just graduated

and everyone is spending the summer at the burrow

Harry has already arrived and him and Ron are hanging out in the living room waiting for you and hermione to show up

Fred and George have closed shop for the week because it's the first week of summer and since hogwarts is out, foot traffic slows a bit

so it's a big ole' weasley sibling party in the living room

and george can't help but make fun of how fast ron shoots up out of his seat when a knock is heard

"Oi, Granger's here lads..."

"He's in love Georgie"

Fred and George were having a field day to say the least

"How much you wanna bet mum'll find them snagging within the next twelve hours?"

"Fred?"

"Freddie?"

Fred has gone silent

George turns to look at his brother and see why he is suddenly unresponsive, he finds Fred with his eyebrows up and mouth slightly agape

he then follows his gaze to the front door where Ron is and Harry are standing, talking to Hermione and a very grown up you

of course you are standing there looking h o t 🙄

you're wearing the tiniest pair of short denim shorts with a black belt cinched at your waist and a thin, ribbed tank top that looks like you've cut jaggedly to cover your boobs and the top of your abdomen

your hair looks freshly done, soft, and fred is willing to bet it probably smells amazing

George can't help but chuckle at his twins lovestruck expression, all for a girl he once nicknamed grindylow

"We shouldn't' be rude, lets go say hi freddie."

the smirk playing on george's lips has fred sending him a glare before he stands up

only he failed to realize you were making your way over to him to say hi

fred stands up and immediately knocks into something, or someone, and stumbles back onto the couch seat he had been sitting on just seconds prior

only this time the person he bumped into comes down with him

you can imagine Fred's surprise when he realizes his hands are on your hips and you have fallen onto his lap

both of you are kinda flustered honestly but youre playing it a lot cooler

"Y/n! You've grown- I mean you got bigger- oLDER...how've you been?"

"I've been good, Freddie. How's the shop?"

"It's gre-"

"you little grindylow, i would like one of those greetings too."

george cuts off his brother and fred swears he could turn him into a slug right then and there but instead he scowls as George quite literally picks you up from his lap and twirls you around

his expression lightens upon hearing your giggles but only slightly

pretty soon you're stolen away by hermione, ron, harry, and ginny much to fred's chagrin

ok to say that fred is having an internal battle would be an understatement

you used to be this little kid who was dorky and a shy

and now you have b o o b s

and this c o n f i d e n c e

that is just pulling him to you

george calls it love

fred calls him a dummy

imagine him walking up one morning and just glancing out his window

nothing out of the ordinary

only instead of seeing a still lake and calm meadow like usual

he sees you in a teeny red bikini, your hair pulled up out of your face, and your neck and chest glistening with a mixture of water and sweat

he quite literally chokes on his spit

"shut. the. fuck. up."

george is not happy to be awoken by fred's coughing

"it's just a bathing suit you wanker"

it is with lightening speed fred gets dressed and ready to join you guys by the lake

both of you will be drooling of each other and the best part is neither of you would realize the other one was doing the same

literally everyone catches on

since then everyone tries to force you two to be near each other

the table needs setting?

looks like you and fred are the ones for the job

there is a seat open next to fred on the couch?

every other spot would be filled before you even entered the room so you'd have to sit next to fred

obviously you guys start talking more

turn out you have a lot in common

and one night while he's laying in his childhood bedroom, thinking, he's like 'oh shit. im in love"

fred's never been the quiet type

and he's a fairly confident guy

so he works out a plan to tell you his feelings

hopefully it ends up with you two dating

fred can only hope right

so he pulls you aside the day before he and george have to go back to their flat and reopen the shop

you don't know what to think of it because he looks beyond serious

which is always worrying

"you wanna sit outside to talk instead?"

you asked after he kept getting interrupted by the loud talking coming from the kitchen

and what he meant to say was "i'd love to"

instead what came out was

"i love you."

"you...what"

it's all a whole blushing mess between the two of you

and to make it even better Harry and George heard the whole thing

george can barely breathe with how hard he's laughing and harry has a pained look on his face

seeing all this fred decides his best option is to flee

so he gets up to walk away

move out of the country

whichever

but you stop him

"I love you too, Fred."

when i tell you everyone stops

george and harry are silent

fred is not moving

and you are so nervous you can barely look up to even see if he's looking at you

but don't worry

fred strides over to you, titles your head up with his hand, and then pULLS YOU IN FOR A KISS

george and harry are dumbfounded

they are standing there just 😮

so you guys are dating now :)

aW how cute

ron is NOT a fan

but only at first

he does not like the idea of his best friend dating his older brother

but he gets over it fast

mostly because of hermione

she ships it aggressively

so does ginny

oK

SO

WAIT LET'S GET INTO THE RELATIONSHIP A LITTLE

FRED IS CONSTANTLY TEASING YOU ABOUT HOW YOU ARE YOUNGER THAN HIM

HE CALLS YOU BABY BECAUSE OF IT

or he'll make jokes about he's so much more mature and how he's such an adult

"you own a joke shop"

"are you even old enough to own a business yet?"

hes so annoying 🙄

but you guys love each other so much 🥺

and im fresh out of ideas and it's late so

enjoy this

:)

"You're insufferable." "I'm glad."

This is part 2 to this, so go read that first!

Blue strided pridefully to the stage, standing beside who she now knows is David, as Jack waves to everyone. "Carrying the banner!" Jack yelled and everyone in the stands cheered. "We've come a long way, but we ain't done yet. And maybe it's only gonna get tougher from now on. But that's fine, we'll just get tougher with it!"

Everyone cheered while Jack started speaking again, "But also...also we gotta get smart and listen to my pal david," some cheered, mostly like Manhattan newsies, "Who says, 'stop soaking the scabs.'" Blue scoffed stepping to look at Jack. "Hey look Kelly, when me and my boys see scabs, we soak 'em. Period."

Every cheered as Jack looked very displeased. "No, no, no!" David cut of the cheering, "That's what they want us to do! If we get violent, it's just playing into their hands." "Hey look, they're gonna be playin' with my hands alright?" Spot said sternly. "It ain't what they say anymore, it's what we say." Blue cut in, scowling at David.

"And nobody ain't gonna listen to us unless we make 'em." Spot adds on. Everyone started cheering again as Spot and Blue glanced at each other. "You got no brains!" Kelly shouts, "We're starting to fight each other, it's just what the big shots wanna see! That we're street trash! Street rats with no brains, no respect for nothing including ourselves!"

Everyone started sitting and quieting down. "So here's how it is," Jack begins again, "If we don't act together, we're nothing! If we don't stick together, we're nothing!" "Tell 'em Jack!" A kid yells. "So what's it gonna be?" Murmurs of agreement could be heard from the crowd as Spot and Blue paced. "So whadda you say Spot?" Jack asked.

Spot looks out into the crowd, "I say what you say...is what I say." Some of the crowd cheered but not all of it as Jack turned to Blue, looking hopeful. "I say you're an idiot Jack Kelly...but that ain't always a bad thing." Blue spit on her hand with a grin as Jack repeated the actions and the crowd cheered. Suddenly the lights went out and a spotlight got turned to the curtains, a red haired woman stepping out at the crowd cheers and wolf whistles.

"Oh boy." Blue mutters, slipping past people to leave the theater, having no mind to deal with the boys obnoxious behavior. Just a minute after she sat down, Spot Conlon did too. They sat in silence for a while until Spot spoke up, "Why do you hate me?" Blue chuckled in response, "Why shouldn't I?"

She turned to look at the dirty blonde, gaze questioning. "I can be a good guy!" Spot argues as Blue busts out laughing. "You? As if! The only thing 'good' about you is how you and Brooklyn use slingshot's, but even then my boys and me are better." Spot huffed, crossing his arms, "You're insufferable." "I'm glad."

Blue smiled a smile that made Spots face heat up, but he hoped the darkness would hide it. Then, an old man who don't look too friendly starts heading into the theatre. "Hey mista, you ain't s'posed to be in there right now." Blue reminded, standing up and blocking the door, Spot standing up shortly after.

"Move it little girl." The unknown man pushes Blue away, her head hitting the wall as Spot stops her from hitting the ground and the man enters the building. "Hey, Blue, you ok?" Conlon asks, sitting Blue against the wall. "Ya," She winces as she brings her hand up to rub the forming bump, "Just hurts a bit, nothing I'se can't handle."

When they hear the clopping of horses, they both turn their heads and see the bulls heading their way. With a knowing look, they both run inside. "Jack!" Blue yells, searching frantically, but she instead finds Bolt. "Bolt! Get the younger boys out, the bulls are here!" She's frantic and the loud noise doesn't help her head but Bolt nods as Blue flees to search for Jack.

Just as she sees Jack run, she all hears the deafening whistle of the bulls, ringing in her head. Everyone started trying to leave, some staying and fighting. As Blue saw a bull trying to take one of her younger boys, she ran to them, pulling the man back and punching him right in the gut, then kneeing him in the face when he doubled over.

She didn't even see it coming, another man landed a punch right where she had hit her head just a few minutes before. She heard the faint call of her name, but she was unconscious before she even hit the ground. Spot saw red, charging at the man, swing his fist with all his might be picking up Blue and running.

He saw an open area and ran backstage, right out the back doors. "Please be okay." He whispered, gently setting her down on the ground before running back inside, praying she was okay

"All rise, all rise. Court is now in session. Judge E. A. Monahan presiding." Blue groaned quietly, holding the ice pack against her head. "Are any of you represented by a counsel?" The judge asked. Spot, Racetrack and Blue all shared confused looks. "No. Good, good. That'll move this along considerably."

"Hey, ya honor, I object." Spot spoke up. "On what grounds?" "On the grounds of Brooklyn, your honor." Everyone laughed, even Blue let out a giggle that had Spot glancing down at her. The judge banged his gavel, unamused by Spots behavior, "I fine each of you 5 dollars, or 2 weeks confinement at the House of Refuge."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey we ain't got 5 bucks." "Hell, we ain't even got 5 cents!" Blue added on to Race's statement. "Hey your honor, how bout I roll ya for it? Double or nothing." Everybody laughed once again at Racetracks remark while the judge banged his gavel again. "All right, move along, move along."

"Your honor, I'll pay the fines," Everyone turned to see Denton enter the court room, "all of them." David entered as well, the 2 walking over to the others. The dull throb in Blue's head made her zone out, Denton words sounding miles away. She only zoned back in when she heard Race yell over to Jack.

The only thing Blue could focus on was the warmth that shot through her body when Spot grabbed her hand and lead her outside with the others, all heading to the restaurant. "Blue, get that ice pack back on ya head." Spot ordered when he saw Blue drop it on the table. "I'se fine, besides, my arm is hurtin'." She complained.

Everyone greeted Denton as he walked into the restaurant. "Why didn't the sun print the story?" David questions immediately. "Because it never happened." Everyone talked over each other in forms of confusion. "If it's not in the papers it never happened. The owners decreed that it not be in the papers, therefore..."

Blue could hear Spots heavy breathing, most likely of anger. "Anyways, I came to tell you fellas goodbye." Silence fell over the restaurant, nobody dared to speak. "What happened, did ya get fired?" David steps forward but Denton was quick to shoot down the idea. "No, I got reassigned back to my old job as the sun's ace war correspondent. They want me to leave right away. The owner thinks they should only cover really important stories so..."

David walked away in what seemed like disappointment. "They don't always fire you, David. I would be blackballed from every paper in the country," Denton tugged David's arm to get him to face him, "Hey, I'm a newspaper man. I have to have a paper to write for." David still stayed silent as Denton sighed, "This is the story I wrote about the rally. And, I want you to read it at least."

Denton took out a price of paper from inside his pocket, but David still remained quiet so Denton kinda forced the paper into his hand as he started leaving. "Bill," the waiter turned around, trying to tell Denton to keep it, "No, no, this should cover it." Denton handed the man some cash and left. David pushed off of the wall and crumpled the paper.

"God David, stop being an ass." Everyone turned to look at Blue, unready for her comment. "Excuse me?" David asked as Blue stood up. "You heard me. Denton had no control over being reassigned and he has to make money too. Boo hoo, we're not in the paper, suck it up and stop acting like a upset toddler."

Blue fiercely gazed at David, her annoyance evident. David shifted his gaze to the table infront of him. "We get Jack out of the refuge tonight. And from now on, we trust no one but the newsies." Everyone agreed, standing up and leaving. After leaving, Blue grabs David's wrist. "Hey, I'm coming with, rather you like it or not." She said, letting ho and walking away.

That night, her and the boys snuck past the Refuge gates following a carriage. David points to a lighted window, "That's where we saw Crutchy." A whistle blows and they all hide. Everyone could see it was Jack. "Where they takin' him Dave?" Mush asked as the loaded Jack into a carriage. "Only one way to find out," David took off his hat and waited for the carriage to leave." I'll meet you guys by the square."

As everyone watched David leave, Blue walked out, staring up at the window. "Aye, whaddya doin' Blue?" Race asked watching her intently. "Mush," The girl whipped around, staring at the tallest of the boys, "You're tallest, get me on your shoulders, Blink, I need the rope." Both boys nodded and walked over to her, Blink handing her the rope.

Mush bent down and helped Blue onto his shoulders, standing up and getting close to the wall. She tried throwing the rope up into the window bars, trying to get it to fall back down over something. When it did, she motion for Mush to set her down and he did. "Alright, which one of you'se is the strongest?" Mush, Blink and another raised their hands.

"Alright, your going to hold the rope still on this end while I climb up the other." The 3 nodded and walked over, grabbing the end of the rope. Blue grabbed the other end and used to Rope to help her scale the wall. When she reached the window, she nodded on it, a unknown kid opened the window. "Is anyone in here go by Radio?" She asked timidly.

The small girl looked sad, looking down. "Radio got real sick and died a few days ago." Blue's breath caught in her throat. She almost let go of the rope, everything slowing down. "T-thank you." Blue nodded and slid down the rope. Everyone's voices were fuzzed and Blue could feel the tears in her eyes. So she ran. She ran faster than she ever had before, faster than she thought she could go.

She ran until her legs gave out under her, right on the Brooklyn Bridge. Uncontrollable sobs ripped from her throat, everything seemed to disappear as she cried. She sobbed so loud she didn't even hear Spots footsteps, not even aware of his presence until he sat by her and puller her into his side. She started to hyperventilate, barely any air in her lungs.

"H-h-He was j-just a b-b-boy!" She subconsciously leaned into Spots comfort. "Hey, Blue, hey, calm down, easy does it." Her loud cries had slowly turned in small sniffles and tear stained cheeks. Spot slowly moved to sit in front of her, cupping her face in his hands. "Now," He brushed his thumb across her cheek, wiping away a tear, "Tell me what happened."

"He's gone." She choked out, her hands grabbing at her shirt, "He was to young to d-die. He was 8 Spot, 8! He shouldn't of died at 8! He was gonna become a writer! He was," She choked back another sob, her voice cracking as she spoke, "He was gonna write a book 'bout all of us." The last part came out as a broken whisper, so heartbroken it made his clench.

A small, broken sob left Blue's lips, leaning into Spots touch as he wiped her tears. "Come to my lodge with me. It too late for you to be walkin' back to Queens alone." Too tired to respond, she just simply nodded, eyes already drooping. She didn't say a word when Spot effortlessly pick her up, heading back to the Lodging House.

About half way there, Spot looked down at her to find her peacefully asleep, head resting against Spots chest, the smallest snores escaping her mouth. Spot let out a small chuckle, continuing the long walk back to his Lodging house.

A/n: whew, that was long. Anyways, there's definitely gonna be a part 3 and possibly a part 4, so stick around for that!

How I would rewrite Violetta

TL;DR: Less lies, still a lot of drama. Also everyone is bisexual, because I say so.

~Season 1~

Okay the biggest thing here is that Germán knows she goes to the studio already from the beginning

He also knows Angie is her aunt - however, Violetta doesn’t know.

When Angie appears, Germán recognizes her. Of course he does, he should’ve known his dead wife’s family?

Angie BEGS him not to take Vilu away from her again. Germán agrees, but tells her not to tell Vilu about it. Instead, she should just be her governess until Violetta “is ready” (or, really when Germán is ready)

Angie says she still works at the studio and so when Vilu hears about it, she really wants to apply. Germán is hesitant, but he also wants her to be happy. His one condition though, is for her to not participate in any large events (oop)

Not much changes for Jade and Matias - except that they desperately try to find out whatever Angie is hiding (Ramallo and Olga tries to find out, too)

Okay, now for the love!! 

Honestly? The love triangle with Leon and Tomas stays mostly the same. I’ll deal a bit more with the love stuff in further seasons

Also, it’s the first season, too. If they are acting a little immature and don’t trust each other, they’ll just grow and learn.

Ok I recently rewatched the episode where Violetta like... writes “amiga” in her diary as she looks dreamingly at Francesca? Like girl did you get a crush on her?? I know you wrote “friend” but your look says more.

Ok probably not but IT’S MY REWRITE and now I decide Vilu and Fran have a small crush on each other. It doesn’t lead to anything (yet), but it’s there and the only one who really seems to notice is Camila

Or, well. She knows her friends have crushes on others but she’s also like “Heh, i’m gonna go, you two can continue to talk if you like”

The big DRAMA is of course, when Violetta joins the youmix competition

Her dad already had a grudge for her singing in the theatre, but now she just has to really hide this

Which is harder when she like. Shares a house with Federico, who’s getting a lot of fans that wants to follow him home. So when they see her, they be like “OH MY GOD THEY ARE ROOMATES” and so Vilu’s fans are there too and she panicks because her dad cannot know

Vilu’s biggest comfort object is her diary, she carries it everywhere in canon (like, even in later seasons when she’s famous she always has it around). In my rewrite, not much changes, except for the fact that Ludmila constantly tries to steal it to destroy her. So anyway, Violetta decides to get a lock with a number combination to open it (as she figures if she has a key she can lose it). Her combination changes a lot. It’s most often two or three letters of a person she likes. Examples are 12-22 (LV, Leon Vargas), or 6-18-1 (FRA, Francesca). One time she even put 12-21 (LU, Ludmila) just to trick Ludmila, as Ludmi never would think Vilu would put her name there.

Violetta finds out Angie is her aunt by overhearing a conversation between her and Pablo. Though, they solve it rather quickly and then get even closer, just like in canon.

In the end, they don’t move away, but Germán does not let her participate in the final show as she’s kind of grounded after he found out she was in youmix and all that

But then he lets her. All is good. Tomas goes to Spain, Violetta is like “I don’t wanna date anyone”

BUT as Tomas goes to Spain she gives Leon a little smirk as if to say “we’ll see what I say about that though, after the break ;)”

The last thing I wanna say about season 1 is that we all know Andrés is canonically a disaster bisexual (come on, think about it) and I just want to embrace that more

~Season 2~

PEOPLE RIGHT AWAY COMMENT ABOUT VILU’S HAIR BECAUSE WE JUST CAN’T LET IT GO UNNOTICED

I know how it’s gonna go for Fran and Diego, so i’ll let them have some little nice scenes in a buildup for s3 (as most of their scenes this season was just “I don’t trust you, Diego”, “Francesca, let me explain”, “No fuck you”)

Honestly I want Ludmila to be a LITTLE nicer this season so she has no pact with Diego

Instead, Ludmila just talks shit about Violetta to him and he’s like “but she’s cute?”

So Diego literally flirts with Vilu to show Ludmila she’s not bad and Ludmila is like “wtf why are you embarrasing yourself”

There’s not a lot of that “Leon you have to trust me” bullshit that Leonetta has. They DO trust each other and honestly they just bond over their shared annoyance with Diego

(But secretly, BOTH of them kinda feel attracted to him)

(Very fun fact one of the first edits I ever saw was one where they shipped Diego and Leon and 12yo me was like “oh wow this kinda makes sense??” and rewatching the show I realised the TENSION™ they had)

Ok. 2x20. The scene I think y’all know i’m reffering to actually caused a series of events to happen later in the season in canon. If Diego had not kissed Violetta, she and Leon wouldn’t have broken up (atleast not that time), German wouldn’t have started to spy on Violetta after feeling like he had to protect her, which would’ve caused Angie to find out and feeling like she couldn’t take it any longer and move to Paris and Violetta and German to start arguing for like 15 episodes because of lies. ALL THAT HAPPENED, originally because of Diego kissing Violetta. I’m not saying it was entirely his fault, but. I’m just- hdsoksyhufshua okay I think it’s just my inner 11yo still bitter about what happened

BUT THIS IS MY REWRITE AND WE’LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS IF DIEGO DIDN’T KISS HER AGAINST HER WILL IN 2x20

The show goes as planned. They fake kiss as they planned to. Everyone is happy for a while. Though, on cameras it looks like a real kiss, so the fans are like. Asking if Violetta and Diego are dating. Diego does not deny this.

Leon and Violetta do break up, because we need drama. Though, it’s more like a mutual agreement rather than an argument. It just became too much for them to handle when Violetta got a contract with youmix, Leon and his motorcross and Diego hovering over them all the time. They needed a break.

Diego and Violetta do get together, but they kinda do like in canon: She is annoyed with him until she finally just gives up and accepts his love.

Germán does not spy on Violetta, but he does consider reading her diary (he doesn’t)

Jade and Matias are no longer relevant. They do make cameos sometimes, but Esmeralda doesn’t know them. Even the viewer believes she’s nice. We only get some small hints of something being off - like Ambar saying “be nice to them” and Esmeralda sometimes giving people strange looks. But then comes the wedding day - that’s when SUDDENLY, the cops arrive! They explain everything - they have been after her for a long time and they recently found out she was gonna marry German for his money and then take it all and flee the country. Drama on top and it’ll be a real classic soap opera betrayal

Angie leaves to France as she just... got an opportunity to work there and she says yes

Camila spends this season dating a bunch of different boys, right? I think this is the perfect place to be a little inclusive and let her be the bi flower queen she is and let her date some girls too. Like switch Seba’s gender or something, not much will change.

THE MADRID STORYLINE. I LOVED THE DYNAMICS IN CANON BUT IN THIS IT WOULD BE EVEN BETTER AND MORE DRAMATIC.

Fran and Vilu already had something going on after the whole ”Francesca almost going back to Italy” storyline and they get even closer as they get lost in Madrid. They were already close, but as they argue for being lost, something just... happens.

Actually the same thing happens with Leon and Diego.

What exactly happens? They almost kiss. They do not kiss, but it’s like it almost happens. They just... get very close and stare at each other before realising. They react differently to this

Francesca and Violetta at first get awkward. They are like “oh- okay.” and then become silent for the rest of the day. It’s not until they are alone in their hotel room that Vilu is like “...what happened today?” and Francesca is like “What are you talking about? I don’t know? Goodnight!!”

Leon and Diego refuse to mention it. They are annoyed as it is. But they do think about it

Yes, I did get this idea after I rewatched ep75 and Leon was like “we were late because this dude didn’t stop fixing his hair” and I was like “DRHSKEHJYU I’M-”

The most heartfelt scene in canon is when Violetta finds out about Diego and Ludmila’s pact, goes out on stage crying and Leon saves her. Like, Leonetta wasn’t the most stable couple but him saving her when she was so distressed... that’s love, dammit!! And I would love to include it somehow.

But: I can’t really find a reason for her to be so upset she can’t sing. So she does sing, that goes well. But as she does, Diego, Fran and Leon argue. Leon is convinced Diego isn’t actually in love with Vilu, Diego is just out for fights and Francesca is like “i’m on Leons side but stop arguing also I think I like Vilu too but that’s beside the point right now I guess?”

She sings “Te Creo” as she was going to, and they like. Do the opposite of what she sings. Or, the complete right thing to what she sings. It’s unclear.

Anyways as she finishes, all of them has to go out on stage to thank the audience and Violetta is like “dafuq is wrong with all of you”

As she tries to help them, Diego says something out of anger that hurts her. Maybe a “I don’t think I really love you” or something maybe a little more hurtful than that. She gets teared up, breaks up with him and run away

Francesca says “You know, I was actually beginning to like you, and now this”, which makes him feel oddly hurt. He doesn’t really know why, yet.

Fran and Leon run after Vilu. There’s the leonetta comfort hug scene ™ there, but also a comfort scene with Fran when they are in their room and she just takes Vilu’s hand while they stare at each other.

Marco is here. Uh. Tbh I don’t know what to do with him?? Because he like. Vanishes to London in s3 canon so Fran can be with Diego so idk man. 

He doesn’t send her like a million flowers in Madrid or visits, but he does call and miss her. Marco was a sweet boyfriend for her, really. Though, he kinda was just. Nice. Nothing more. Their relationship didn’t evolve a lot? 

Though after the random almost-kissing Vilu incident that Francesca doesn’t want to talk about, she kinda grows closer to Marco again.

Back in Buenos Aires, Violetta doesn’t really have an argument with German as he didn’t spy on her in this, so she simply has trouble writing Soy mi mejor momento until German is like “Violetta that’s your mothers poem-” and they have a little father-daughter bonding over finishing it

She is however not really ready to just go back to Leon after recently breaking up with Diego and so she has that “why does no one ask me what I want” scene like she did in ep76.

But then Leon sings Nuestro Camino and she’s like “I DREAMED THAT WE SANG THAT TOGETHER WTF” and he’s like “OMG SAME??” and they bond over the fact that they are soulmates who share dreams or smth, and so they get back together

Diego and Leon do not speak of Madrid, but they do this very manly but also tension filled handshake as if they “accept” each other.

Francesca and Vilu also doesn’t really speak of the fact that they had a little moment in Madrid either, but they do share some smiles and Camila is like “did something happen??”

Leonetta is a couple again. The New Years show is a hit and that means youmix will let them do a world tour (I literally realised NOW, that the reason they are on tour in season 3 is because of the last show in s2, they mentioned in some passing scene some episodes before about it being a world tour)

Oh also Ludmila and Federico have basically the same kind of romance they had in canon, same with Naty and Maxi (Naty and Maxi’s kiss where Maxi had to switch his cap around was so cute uWu)

Oh and also Gregorio and Diego? Same as canon. That shit was emotional.

Lara, I forgot about Lara... uuuh. She’s just a mechanic. She disappears after s2 anyway so

 ~Season 3~

Honestly s3 was kind of a fanfiction already when you think about it??? So in this rewrite I guess I could just GO OFF with everything :D

Hmmm yeah Priscilla is still a fucking psychopath but she will suffer even more god I hate that woman HOW CAN YOU PUSH A CHILD DOWN SOME STAIRS AND FORCE YOUR DAUGHTER TO HURT PEOPLE-

Everything is well with all couples but being on tour and hanging out so much all the time, they get a little... cramped. So they easily get grumpy and yell at each other

Leon and Violetta knows this, and so they don’t get mad at each other when the other one is upset. They understand. So as Violetta gets her birthday wish, she doesn’t really complain at all. Sure, she does get a little scared when they fly off, but she’s honestly just happy to spend some ✨alone time ✨with her soulmate and lowkey wishes no one would find them 

All the couples break up and Leonetta is like “nah it will not happen to us UwU” and then it just. Gets to them too. They just simply have to be apart before they hate each other. Their breakup happens around the same time as canon.

It felt kind of ooc for Violetta to dress up as another person to spy on Leon but it was still kinda funny. So Roxy will stay, we’ll just change it a bit

She doesn’t create Roxy to spy on Leon, but because of Francesca. Fran is getting confused with Marco leaving and now she’s starting to get feelings for Diego... a part of her just wants to disappear and think about something else. So Violetta is like “What if we dress up and go out” and they do, and fool everyone

And so... when boys they know start to flirt with them, they just panic and say they’re not single. But they can’t make up fake boyfriends so they say they are dating each other.

Which makes Andrés interested - he’s like “wow two girls can date that’s cool”. Camila is also interested, she’s like “WOW ALL MY FRIENDS ARE STRAIGHT I CAN BOND WITH YOU OVER BEING NOT STRAIGHT”

Anyway it’s hard to keep it together when Camila is talking about Vilu and Fran - to Vilu and Fran, in disguise.

Hmmmm ok I literally almost forgot about Gery and Clement lol?? Tbh, of all the “lover rivals” they are the weakest this far. Leon and Vilu didn’t even feel that attracted to them anyway. 

Gery is not straight in the slightest? Like girl that haircut and the HALF SHAVED EYEBROW like please. She’s pansexual, i’ve decided. She has a crush on both Leon and Violetta, but she does not really know how to handle that. So she never does. She talks about it with Clement, though and the two of them bond over being nervous messes who can’t talk to their crushes

There’s no Alex, tbh. Clement is just Clement. His dad lets him attend the studio but he’s also like “ugh I wanna support your dreams but you could take economy classes on the side??”

They are not out for breaking Leonetta apart because I for once just want ONE season when there’s no one else Leonetta wants to be with. They just want to be with each other and the whole season is them just kinda... figuring stuff out before getting back together.

Also Fran and Vilu have this thing going on now when they pretend to be a couple as they are dressed up as other people and they have to handle that

The plan was for them to only really dress up once but now their friends wants to get to know Roxy and Fausta and they just have to continue it

Camila is the first one to find out and her reaction is “I always knew you two had a thing for each other but this is just strange, why can’t you date as yourselves?”

To which Vilu and Fran as a response just shut down, not knowing at all how they feel about anything anymore.

Camila notices they seem to not wanting to talk about it, so she decides to make up a plan to make them talk. Though, it solves itself when Vilu and Fran get locked inside a closet at the studio (because of course they do)

In there they talk about what happened in Madrid last year, when they almost kissed. They are unsure what that meant. They admit that it was thrilling to pretend to be a couple, when they were Roxy and Fausta. But the thought of dating as Vilu and Fran... it feels strange. Especially because of all the stuff with Diego and Leon.

But they do decide to try to kiss, just to see - and as soon as their lips touch, someone opens the closet. It’s Diego and Leon. They are kinda shocked.

The girls explain the situation and Leon is like “You know what we almost kissed in Madrid too wtf”

They also reveal they are Roxy and Fausta and Leon is kinda embarrased because he got a crush on Roxy

The girls discussed how it was kissing - they liked it, but... they don’t know. Because they also feel kind of a strong connection to Diego and Leon respectively

So they like... make a promise. If it doesn’t work out with the boys, they’ll date each other.

But they end up with the boys... atleast for now, heh.

The whole “Leonetta will only be friends” plot is still here just because I love it so damn much they are such dorks they literally think they can stay friends lol

So yeah Gery and Clement start dating and they are basically as cute as Naxi. Honestly since I removed the whole “ruin leonetta” plot they have little purpose - so that’s why I made them crush on Leonetta on a distance and never do anything. We need some people to relate to, some people just never confesses and just go around crushing on people without telling lol

German proposes to Angie and Leon kinda plans to propose to Violetta. Not yet, since they’re like 19 (they aren’t finchel lol), but he has plans. 

“Ok thanks future father in law” was a top 10 iconic Leon moment and I just wanted to include it

It ends kind of like canon.

Ok! I just wrote most of this spontaneously. Maybe it wouldn’t be that good, really i’m just brainstorming. This show was everything to me when I was a preteen even though I realise it was probably not good (I lost a bit of interest in season 3, idk that season was a little more off to me)

I probably forgot a lot, since there were like a million plots, but this was just for fun so yeah don’t take it super seriously. Also thank you if you made it this far. 

[greatgodempresspan]

And now...some headcanons

Some more Headcanons for @salamoonder, all in one place so I’m not clogging your ask box.

Continuing with the arm-linking, the first couple of times Caleb links arms with Cad, Caduceus thinks Caleb’s [unconsciously] asking for comfort and strokes his head, which almost always makes Caleb freeze up.

After a while, when Caduceus has gotten to know the Nein better and realises Caleb is a Cat Person (initially seems fearless, confident and poised, but is actually quite skittish, constantly ready to flee and wants cuddles but also doesn’t want cuddles) Caduceus leaves him be. Except for a single pat on the head, because he’s only flesh and blood!

Caleb doesn’t link arms with Cad often - Caleb is kinda scared of Caduceus’ [insight], but when he’s going non-verbal Caduceus is one of the people he gravitates towards. Caduceus doesn’t try to get him to talk, but will instead ramble on to him about nothing in particular. Caleb never gives any outward sign of listening, but later he will often reference something Cad said in passing, or ask him to elaborate on a point, which delights Caduceus.

Even Veth doesn’t escape this. Especially back when she was a goblin, and tended to climb all over Caleb more. She’d sit on his shoulder and he’d hold his hand up to her, two fingers resting in the crook of her arm. Being able to walk arm in arm with Veth is the one thing that Caleb will admit to envying Yeza.

On an arm-linking tangent, Jester has a nervous habit where sometimes when she’s feeling anxious or threatened her tail will twist around the leg of someone next to her. Or, in the case of Veth, her arm. She’s made Fjord face-play more than once. At first Beau was kinda disappointed when she found out that Jester couldn’t lift her off the ground doing this (“You could literally catapult us into battle! We need to work on this!”). Now whenever she feels the tail, Beau immediately grabs Jester’s hand.

The night after they encountered Trent in the throne room Caleb had bruises on his leg. Yasha will pat Jester’s tail in acknowledgement and Caduceus will return the favour, wrapping his tail (he has a tail, shut up) around Jester’s.

Veth is the only one who complains, though she’s careful to make it very clear to Jester it’s only because she’s much smaller than Jester and Jester very strong. Once they’re done with a fight/out of danger and Veth worries that Jester’s particularly rattled (e.g. post-Lorenzo) Veth will (telegraphing her movements so she doesn’t startle her friend) hold on to Jester’s tail or wind it around her wrist.

Now some Blumenkrew (bc you are a gentleman of taste)! Wulf telling Caleb he looks good both times that they’ve met is a hangover from a habit that Wulf developed while they were at the Academy. In part due to they’re being more ambitious and in part bc unlike Wulf they weren’t build like a brick shithouse from the age of twelve, Bren and Astrid had a big chip on their shoulders about the fact that they were scholarship kids. Worse, scholarship kids from some unknown backwater deep in the country (their parents were probably farmers, can you even imagine?)

Bren dealt with it in part by worrying over his appearance. Basically, trying to make sure he doesn’t look “poor” or “common”. Wulf thinks this is stupid - between Leofric’s soldier background and Una’s concerns for his health Bren was always been one of the neatest children in their village. Bren’s never looked “poor”.

“To you,” Bren returns. “You don’t hear how they laugh at us. They’d never say what they think of you to your face.”

(This, incidentally, is one of the things that starts Wulf second-guessing people and becoming more cynical in his world-view. Also why he plays up his “stupidity” and “lack of ambition”; all these noble’s children trying to mimic their parents’ intrigues don’t bother lying to anyone they don’t consider a threat.)

Thus, Wulf makes a point of letting Bren know his efforts with his appearance aren’t going unnoticed. Initially it was reassurance, wanting to give his friend a confidence boost and also, seriously, you have spent most of our lives somehow magically able to repel dirt. You look perfect, those idiots don’t know what they’re talking about!

Thing is, Bren’s a bit of a fashionista. As much as is possible at the Academy, anyway. And he’s always been - y’know, cute. But like, lamb-cute. Cat-biting-its-tongue-cute. I’ll give him all the piggy backs he wants because his smile is adorable cute. Not I can’t look at him cute. Not I wanna kiss him cute.

Oh. Oh shit.

In the meantime, Astrid works. Hard. Harder than Wulf - with his strength their trainers would count themselves lucky if he was half as smart and cunning as he actually is. Harder than Bren who will happily taunt their classmates about how easily it all comes to him and yet takes his talent for granted, doesn’t seem to understand how brilliant he actually is.

She loves Bren dearly, but she really has come to relish those moments she can knock him off balance. He’s not used to people keeping up with him; wholly unprepared for it, in fact. Thinking about it, that was probably why he started following her and Wulf around in the first place. That and the wins are so much sweeter when you have to fight for them.

Their play fights have always unnerved poor Edawulf; even after all these years he can never tell whether or not they’re being serious. Or then again, maybe he realised what they were actually doing before they did.

He plays at being confused, after all.

Hope you’re having a good day! Stay well. X

And we're not speaking

Owen×Michelle

Post 2.08

@911couplesretreat day 5: "don't give me that look"+ angst

I haven't even proofed this I'm sorry

For some reason, he didn't expect to see her here. Not once had the possibility of running into her crossed his mind. But she's right there in front of him, sitting awkwardly beside Judd's bed, staring at him intently. Judd is explaining to her what happened, assuring her that they are both going to be fine. "We ain't going anywhere Michelle, we're gonna be just fine."

"You drove off of a bridge Judd." She mumbles wetly. 

"If I promise not to do it again will you stop being mad at me?" As if being mad is her problem. "Michelle…" He sighs, smiling at her. "We ain't going anywhere, I promise." 

"I don't have a lot of people Ryder, if you go somewhere I'm following you." And her joke doesn't even get to be funny, because her voice cracks at the end of it, and it just sounds dark, and wrong. Michelle may be a lot of things, but she isn't dark. 

"You got a lot of people, Michelle. You just gotta let them care about you." Speaking of people, Owen knocks lightly on the door.

And Michelle's back tenses immediately, her head whipping towards him. "Hey." He greets them both. "Can I come in?" 

Michelle nods stiffly, jaw set. "Yeah." She shrugs. "I was leaving anyway." She stands from her chair, reaching out to squeeze his hand. "I'll go check on your wife." 

She doesn't look at Owen while she practically runs out of the room. "Is she okay?" 

"She's just fine and dandy, Cap." Judd rolls his eyes. Because women that are okay are so very prone to fleeing rooms unprompted. 

"What's wrong with her?" Obviously something is. 

"You made her leave." Judd points out, as if Owen is an absolute imbecile for not realising it. And Owen's confused silence is frustrating the hell out of him. He's in too much pain to deal with this tension right now. "You showed up, it's weird, so she left, I don't see how you don't get that."

"Weird?" It is a little weird, but not run out of the room weird. It's awkward hello followed by a nice catch up kind of weirdness. 

"Weird, painful, awkward, whatever you wanna call it."

"Painful?" What could be so painful about running into him? Other than the hospital, but that obviously wasn't the problem. 

"She thought y'all were like...friends, or whatever." He quirks his eyebrows slightly. He still doesn't fully understand why Michelle wanted the 'whatever', but she did. 

"We are friends." Aren't they? 

"Cap, you haven't spoken to her in months. You haven't even called her once since she left the house. You ain't friends." He had kinda been busy, he'd had so much stuff to deal with he hadn't even thought to talk to her. "And it ain't just you, none of y'all have."

Surely….surely somebody had spoken to her in the past few months? "I didn't…"

"Sure you didn't, none of you even thought about it. She wasn't part of your team." That feels a little harsh, but then again, maybe not untrue. "But she's my family, we practically grew up together at the 126, so I can't blame you for not caring as much as I do." Although he does resent them a little bit for how much it hurt her. "And she had a crush on you, so you hurt her a little more than the rest of them."

"She what?" If he had known that…

"Don't tell me you didn't know, you're a dumbass Cap, but you ain't stupid." All the signs had been there. But Judd had always been able to read Michelle like a book. A complicated book, but still. He had learned her language in their twenties. And she hadn't been talking in riddles with Owen, she had been blatantly obvious about everything, not realising that he really does need everything about women spelled out for him. "But then again, maybe you are."

Xx

She does the same thing when he goes to check on TK, walking in on her with her arm wrapped around Carlos, the three of them chuckling between them. The laughter dies immediately when he walks into the room. "Dad...hey." TK greets awkwardly, his eyes flicking to a suddenly tense Michelle and Carlos. 

"Hey." He lingers in the doorway, deciding against asking them to let him in. Trying not to impose.

"Uh...you should come in, sit down." Carlos offers while Michelle starts to stand. "We should go say hi to Grace anyway." He had thought Michelle had already done that, but he is hardly going to argue with them. 

"No, I'll go, it's fine, I'll come back later." He starts to turn, but Michelle stops him with a heavy huff.

"I'm leaving anyway." She pushes past him, trying her damndest not to come into actual contact. 

Carlos doesn't follow her immediately, having some kind of silent conversation with TK, who pointedly tells him to go after her. 

"She's just going to keep doing that, isn't she?" Owen grumbles.

"What do you expect? You haven't spoken to her in months. She thinks that's what you want her to do." He thought he was pissed at him recently about Gwyn. But that's nothing compared to this. He's obviously been bottling this one up for a while. 

"Why would I want her to do that?"

"Because you don't like her?" He does though, he likes her a lot. It isn't his fault that she left. "She doesn't want to hang around when you're just tolerating her, she's too proud." And too damn stubborn. "I shouldn't be telling you any of this, she trusts me too much, and Carlos would kill me if he found out. I can handle you two separately, but this? This is awkward, and she is Carlos's best friend, she can't avoid you forever. So I'm telling you. She's been pretty torn up, realising how little you care about her. But I know you do, so you need to talk to her. Now."

It's said with such authority that Owen has no choice but to turn on his heels, lingering is not an option. 

She's sitting in the hallway outside Grace's room when he finds her. "Michelle…" he lingers a few steps away from her, waiting for her to let him approach. She sighs, glaring at him with red-rimmed eyes.

"What?" She snaps, dropping her head to her hands. 

"Are you okay?" It's all he can think of saying without jumping straight into an unwanted apology. 

"My family, some of the only ones not dead, are in hospital. My best friend's boyfriend nearly got killed. Again. I'm doing just fucking great." She spits at him. "And worst of all you keep fucking following me!" He hadn't meant to do it the first few times. 

"You're mad at me." He decides to plop into the seat next to her, sighing when she shuffles away from him. "I'm sorry."

"Don't do that." She huffs. "Don't even think about it."

"Michelle, I've just been...I don't know, a lot happened." 

"Yeah, I know. Carlos told me." Because they are actually friends. "Carlos was the only one who told me. Anything." And he should have really thought to tell her about Tim himself. He shouldn't have assumed someone else would. It wasn't their job. 

"I'm sorry. I just...you left, and-"

"I left the station, not the country, Owen. You knew exactly where to find me." She starts to fiddle with her fingers, picking at her fingernails. 

"Yeah… I just...didn't know how to talk to you after you left." Whatever they had didn't feel like it could stay the same if they didn't work together. It felt like maybe a little too much. "I wanted to, I just… didn't know how." And maybe it did feel a little weird, a little wrong, to call her when Gwyn was around all the time, but he doesn't want to think about that.

"If you had, you would have. It's not that difficult to pick up a phone Owen. It takes two seconds to send a text. So don't pretend that you wanted to because now it's awkward, it's not fair. You'll get over the awkward." 

"You didn't call me either, you didn't text. It wasn't just me." 

"You know why I didn't want to call you at the start." How could he not, it was written all over her face when she told him she was leaving. He doesn't really want to admit it, but he has known this whole time. But it all seemed so scary, and Gwyn was there, and familiar. And similar enough to Michelle for him to let it happen. 

"If I know why you didn't call, then you know why I didn't call." They're the same damn reason, even if he was kind of passing her over for his ex-wife. 

"Stop it." She shakes her head, bolting out of her chair. "Don't you dare do that. Don't give me that look, like you might actually want me. Don't talk to me like that. Don't try and...what even are you trying to do? You put your wife on a plane three hours ago. Don't try and pick me now just because she's gone. Don't fucking try to do that." Because there is every chance she would fall for it.

“dil, dimaag, aur taaqat. teeno hi tumse kayiiii zyaada hai mujh mein.” LIFE MEIN CONFIDENCE CHAHIYE, TOH OF AN RICH, UPPER CASTE, MALE PSYCHOPATH ON TELLYWOOD.

“aaj apne dhoke ke aag ki dariya mein dubo hi diya na tumne mujhe, riddhima?”

i’m sure this is some kasautiii kinda metaphor, ki they’re working together, or like….. he actually does trust her… or some such shit, but i can’t be arsed to analyse anything with this dumbass show. it doesn’t deserve it.

kabir watching this whole angst ridden scene with such horny eyes, i can’t even…………………

obligatory placement of show naam. tashan mein usko lete lete, JAI MATA DIIIIIIIIIIIII, LET’S ROCK.

if this isn’t the Biggest Mood for 2020, idk what is. vansh finally being relatable to the rest of us normals.

yeah whatever. i really don’t care about you. i’m more devastated ki when will i get such a KaValicious sexual tension filled episode next??!?!?!?!!? probably next fucking year now. ugh. bloody waste show, forcing us to watch this het bullshit.

let’s end this with a nice pic of this face. i think we’ve all earned it.

Crazy Christmas C-Dinner

Natasha Romanoff x Reader

Modern AU

Words: 1,265

Warnings: Insinuated vomiting, drinking, that’s p much it, I think.

Request: Nah.

Summary: Natasha was right… you hate that.

A/N: Sorry it’s late, but it’s here now. Also don’t know how good it is. It’s mainly just talking. (This could be read as part three of ‘HOW DO I HANUKKAH?!’ but it can be read on its own too)

(Not my GIF)

***

You sighed heavily, as you shrugged on your suit jacket.

“You alright over there babe?” Natasha asked from behind you, as she fastened her heels.

“Nothing. Just kinda dreading this.”

Natasha chuckled at the exasperation, already flowing through you.

“Don’t worry, babe.” She smiled, walking over to you, lovingly running her hands down the lapels or your suit. “Everything’s gonna be fine.”

“How can you be so sure of that?”

“Because I know my family. And I know yours,” Natasha assured, “They’re gonna get along fine. Too fine in fact. They’re never going to want to leave each other.”

“God, I don’t know which is worse,” you sighed.

“Nor I.”

You groaned flinging your head back.

“Come on.” You could hear the smile in Natasha’s voice, even if she was chiding you. Petting the same lapels of your suit, that she never removed her hands from, and taking a step back. “We’ve gotta get going. We don’t want to miss the first time our family’s meet, do we?” she asked, grabbing your hand and dragging you from the bedroom.

“Don’t we?”

***

Knocking rang throughout the warm, festively decorated, house.

“Coming!” Came your mother’s voice.

The white, wreath clad door, swung open. Revealing yours and Natasha’s beaming faces.

“Hi, mom!”

“Hello, sweetie,” she greeted you, moving to pull you in for a hug and placing a kiss upon your cheek.

“Anna,” Natasha said, with a nod.

“Hello, Natasha, dear.” Ana moved to give Natasha the same treatment, as she did you. “How are you?”

“I’m good.”

“I’m good, too. Thanks for asking,” you sassed, “Where’s dad? Maybe I’ll get some love from him.”

“He’s in the kitchen, cooking dinner,” your mom said, before moving her attention back to the red-head she already considered her daughter, “When will your family be arriving?”

“They should be here any minute now.”

“Ope!” you sounded, looking past your girlfriend, and instead to the silver car pulling up in the empty parking space, you deliberately left open for them, “Speak of the devil’s and they shall come.”

Natasha turned, smile growing wider as she watched her family pile out of the car.

“There’s my girl!” Came Alexei’s loud voice.

“Hi, dad,” Natasha chuckled.

She moved to go meet the burly, Russian man. But could only get one foot down the steps of your parent’s porch, before she was engulfed in his large arms.

“How’s my baby doin?” he asked into her hair.

“I’m doing great. How are you?”

“We can’t complain,” Alexei answered, speaking for himself, Melina, and Yelena.

The large body of your girlfriend’s father bound into you, causing you to stumble back. The man following your steps, as he continued to squeeze you tightly against his chest. Your hand coming up to pat at his back, as you blew his long hair out of your face, while Melina and Yelena came up to greet Natasha, your mother chuckling at the mans loving action towards you.

“Y/N, it’s so good to see you.”

“It’s good to see you too, Alexei.”

“Ahh! And this must be your beautiful mother!” he said, facing Anna, with his arms wide open.

“Yes,” you confirmed, hand coming up to lay upon the man’s back, “Mom, this is Alexei, Natasha’s father. Alexei, this is my mother, Anna.”

“And this is my mom, Melina. And my sister, Yelena,” Natasha continued your introductions. As the two proffered women moved from greeting you with hugs of their own, to meet Anna.

“It’s so nice to meet you all.” She smiled, “Why don’t we all head inside, and you can meet my husband and son?”

“We’d love too,” Melina said, following your mother into the warm house. Everyone else following suit.

“Yeah, we have more than enough alcohol, right?!” you called, just as you entered the threshold.

***

“Maxwell, I really wouldn’t do that, if I were you,” Natasha advised your father.

You watched with an amused smile, as he got ready to take a shot of the vodka that Natasha’s family brought as a gift. The same alcohol your mother, smartly, refused to drink at that moment, thank’s to Natasha’s and Melina’s advice. As the rest of you watched on, smiling.

“Don’t listen to her,” Yelena egged him on, a smirk upon her features.

“Yeah, dad!” you said.

“Have you tried this stuff?” your dad asked you, pointing to the clear drink in his hand.

“I have, yes.” You nodded.

“And?”

“I regret it to this day,” you told him honestly, “Doesn’t stop me, though.”

“Then why aren’t you drinking any now?” your thirteen-year-old brother asked.

“Because I’d rather not be wasted before I even eat dinner.”

“Can I have some?!” he continued excitedly, looking over to your dad.

“No!” your mother and Natasha said at the same time. As you and Melina each said, “Do you wanna die?” and, “That’s not a good idea, little one.”.

Matthew crossed his arms and gave a pout. Sliding down into his chair, his pout holding a slight smile, knowing full well how everyone would react. Your parents were right. He really was turning out like you.

Shaking your head while laughing at the young teenager, you turned to face your father.

“You gonna take the shot, or what?”

“Alright. Alright.” He took a deep breath, before downing the drink.

Gasping over his knees, at the burning feeling travelling throughout his body. Panting before suddenly taking off for the bathroom. Leaving the rest of you behind, laughing in surprise.

“Goddamn! Even I was better than that!” you laughed.

A few minutes later, your father came strolling back into the room.

“How do you feel, buddy?” Alexei asked.

“Well, let’s just say, it burns just a bad in reverse, as it does going down.”

You all let out disgusting sounds, at his words.

“Okay. Enough of this.” Your mother waved her hands around, gesturing to the full room. “Dinners ready.”

***

“Wow, mom. You and dad did a really good job with dinner this year,” you complimented them, with drowsy eyes, as you rubbed your full stomack.

“Hey! I helped!” Matthew said.

“How in the hell did you help?”

“Good thoughts.”

***

So, Natasha was right. And you didn’t know if you wanted to admit that or not.

Not.

You did not.

But! It was gonna come out anyway. You knew that from the smirk upon Natasha’s face.

You thought it would be best to bite the bullet.

“Okay,” you sighed, noticing Natasha’s smirk widen from her spot in the passenger seat of your car, “You were right. It wasn’t bad. It wasn’t bad, at all.”

“Except for Maxwell throwing up,” Natasha pointed out.

“I wasn’t talking about bad for him.”

Natasha laughed, before moving on to tease you, in a sing-song voice, “Told you so.”

“Ugh. I hate you.”

“I love you too, baby.”

You smiled at her words, “I do love you.”

“I know,” she said, leaning over to peck you on your cheek.

The car was silent, all for the Christmas music playing through the radio, for a while. Until.

“I can’t believe our dads are going out fishing together.”

“Are you surprised, though?”

“At how fast it took? Yes.” Natasha nodded.

“Aww. They couldn’t wait to go on their first date,” you joked.

“Neither could our moms,” Natasha laughed.

“I don’t know if it was a mistake introducing them, or not.”

“Depends on who you ask.”

“Us?”

“Then yes. It was a mistake. They’re twice as powerful now. We’re never gonna survive this.”

“So we pick up Matthew and Yelena, and flee the country?” you asked.

“Yes.”

then say my name | osamu miya x reader

huhu i know i still have requests to do but i was working on this for a week in class and wanted to share it with you guys :>>

anyway i know i said i was falling for atsumu, but osamu attracted me more haha, he seems a bit ooc here but i’ll try to fix it in the future. for now my priority in writing will be requests!

this story has now been given artwork by vn_vannies on twitter! it’s after the story down below i commissioned her to draw one scene from this story :)) 

------

“What must we do to get you to play a match with us?” the captain of Inarizaki asked. 

“Sorry, we’re just too busy with other practice matches,” Kuroo responded. Taketora went up to Kuroo and whispered, “Hey Kuroo, aren’t they the powerhouse school of the Hyogo prefecture? We saw them at Nationals.” Kuroo sighed and faced him. “I really wish we could but after Nationals, a bunch of other powerhouse schools wanted matches.” 

The captain gave in. “Alright, it was worth a try,” he looked up to Kuroo. “It’s been a pleasure seeing you play, we hope to play against you someda-” 

“Hold on,” a certain blond holds up his hand. “Now now Kita-san, don’t say such things! I’m sure there are other ways on convincing the-aCHJ” 

“Don’t do anything stupid you dumbass.” a silver-haired male said as he wacked his brother's head. 

“I’m gonna kill yo-” 

“Our bus is here,” Kita coughed. “Goodbye to you, and best of luck.” Aran bowed as did the opposing team

All of them were boarding the bus and putting their stuff in until Atsumu was the last one outside. He stood up and looked back. “Get yer ass up here, Sumu” his brother called out from the window. 

“Oh, but I forgot something,” that only gained an irritated look from his twin. Thinking he was going back in the building the team moved aside. Smiling as he was walking he made eye contact with a certain manager, swiftly grabbed both of her arms, dipped her, and pressed his lips onto hers.

“?!”

The kiss lasted for quite a while, but everyone was too astonished to move. He swiftly pulled back, smiled, and winked at her. Kuroo’s face scrunched and by the time he yelled in surprise, Atsumu was back in the bus already waving at them. “See you on the court!”

The entire team screamed in shock. “WHATTT?!?!” Taketora screamed, “HOW DARE THEY ADVANCE ON OUR MANAGER!!” “(Y/N)-chan! (Y/N)-chwauwnnnn!!!” Lev ran up to her holding her should and having tears on his eyes, “are-are you okay?” “Oi! Kuroo-san and Yaku-san are going somewhere!” Shibayama yelled. “Someone stop them!” 

---

“Well, you’re welcome!” Atsumu said as he stood up in the bus, his hands up and eyes closed, “looks like we’re getting a practice ma-gehck!” 

“You actual stupid dumbass,” Osamu said after hitting him on the head. But oh he was not done as he kicked his stomach. “You didn’t have to do that to her.”

 Meanwhile, the team wasn’t doing anything about it because they did indeed think that Atsumu has gone too far. They felt lucky to have Osamu reprimand him for his actions.

 Coughing as he got up and weakly smiled and chuckled, “W-what’s it to you ‘Samu?..ya like her or someth-geCK” and the grey-haired spiker finished him off by kicking his face. 

“I’ll carry him home don’t worry about him,” Osamu said picking up the unconscious setter and placing him on his seat next to his. “Not like we were in the first place..” one of them spoke.

----

“Samuu…” the blond groaned. “Gimme the ice,”

 “You can get the ice yourself.” 

Osamu thought about what his twin had said though. Did he like Nekoma’s manager? Well yes, you could say that she was charming in her own way. So that’s why during the practice match between Nekoma and Inarizaki, he approached her with a calm and demure smile.

 “Oh, Miya-san,” their manager turned around. The spiker shook his head, “Please, call me Osamu, my idiot brother might get confused again.” he gestured to the setter. (Y/N) giggled, “Sure,” she flipped back the pages of her clipboard and tucked it under her arm. “So how long are you here in Tokyo?” 

“Around one more week, since we lost to Karasuno we’re here for a few more days,” “You gonna play at that time?” Osamu shrugged, “I dunno, maybe just a bit.” (Y/N)’s smile grew, “They why don’t I show you around!” Osamu looked taken aback, “Really?” She furiously nodded her head and grinned. ‘Cute..’ he thought. 

Returning with a soft smile he responded, “Yeah sure, that would be great.”

---

“Hahh, we’re finally done.” Taketora said stretching and turning around, “It’s only 1:30, you guys wanna go out?” “Sure!” Inoka said, “Yeah, why not, it would be a nice bonding activity.” Kai smiled. 

“Kenma, you’re coming,” Kuroo said looking at the setter who was trying to escape, looking defeated and all. Kuroo turned to their manager “(Y/N)-chan, you in?”. She showed a remorseful smile, “Awe, sorry guys I really wish I could but I made plans after practice.” “Oh? Going shopping?” Yaku asked. “Mm yes and no.” she shrugged. 

“Oh~? Is a date?” Kuroo teasingly asked. (Y/N) paused for a while as if in thought, giving a small smile as she spoke, “Yeah, if you think about it, kinda.”

 “Wait what.” Kuroo immediately went pale as did the rest of the team.

“EH?! (Y/N)-chan you’re going on a date?!” Lev asked, “With who??” Yaku followed up. (Y/N) frowned and reluctantly faced the door. “Mm, no! You guys are gonna get all weird if I tell you who the guy is. Besides it’s not like it’s a romantic date, I’m just showing him around..” Kuroo stumbled forward and grabbed (Y/N)’s shoulders. “Do we know him?!”

(Y/N) shook her head. “Ah, I mean yeah I guess you do but..” (Y/N) shook him off and opened the door, “If you guys are that worried we’re just gonna be in the plaza near the market. See you tomorrow.” the door closed.

Immediately after that action was done Kuroo turned around, “We’re going after her.” “Eh, why?” Kenma asked, “It’s her date we shouldn’t get involved.” “But what if something bad happens to her?” Kuroo shot back.

 “I think she’s smart enough to know when to flee a scene.” “I don’t like this either” Yaku frowned. “Me too!” Lev added in. “Argh, my sister just texted she needs help in doing the chores.” Taketora looked at his phone. “Okay! Lev, Yaku, Kenma and I will go!” Kuroo said standing up while grabbing Kenma’s hoodie. “What? But I said-” “Send in reports Kuroo-san!” Yamamoto yelled

----

“Oi, Samu, where are ya going?”

The silver-haired twin shrugged his brother off, “None of your business.” Kita walked into the living room and asked, “Osamu-kun, where are you going?” “Just out to the nearby plaza.” 

“Oh, so you respond to him you jerk.” Atsumu thought out loud. “Plaza? Why?” “Just meetin’ someone there, I won’t have dinner here, I’ll be back before 10:30.” and he left before the two could ask any more questions. 

“Going to meet someone? Who do you think it is?” Kita asked Atsumu, “Dunno, can’t be any relatives, we don’t have any here in Tok..oh my gosh.” Atsumu sat up in sudden realization and faced Kita and Aran who just walked in.

 “He’s going to meet the girl from Nekoma.” “The girl?” Aran asked. “Oh, you mean their manager, the one that you kissed and didn’t even apologize for which got us an earful from coach,” Kita spoke glaring at him. 

“Ya, ya , her.” Atsumu spoke unfazed. “I saw them talkin’ together a whole lot yesterday..she’s probably the one he’s meeting.” Aran smiled, “And why are you so worked up about it, Atsumu-kun?” Atsumu pouted, frowned and walked away to the shared room of the team, “I’m going out too.” “Don’t get caught,” Kita told him, not tearing his eyes away from the newspaper.

---

“I hope I’m not here too early..” he thought. He got off the train and made his way up the stairs that were outside the station. As he walked up the stairs he remembered, “Ah..I don’t think I got her number...what if I don’t find he-” 

“Osamu-kun!” a sweet voice interrupted his thoughts and he looked up to a girl smiling and waving at him. She was wearing a green beret on her head and her hair was parted to her left; a blue and white striped T-shirt that was covered by an unzipped white jacket, she wore a checkered skirt with brown shoes and white socks. 

It stunned Osamu for a brief moment. “Hey,” she said catching her breath, “Sorry, I’m really early to these things haha.” Osamu smiled and shook his head. “No worries, you look pretty.” 

‘What the hell did you just say,’

“Oh! Awe, really? Thanks! I just got this two days ago haha” she said smiling

‘Oh, she liked it’

“Well,” he started, trying his words, “where are we going, Ms. Tokyo?” (Y/N) giggled at the nickname, “Let’s go to the food stalls first! There’s this karaage chicken vendor that’s so so good!” The spiker nodded and followed her. While walking the two engaged in conversation, unaware that five other volleyball players were following them. 

“So, you don’t seem Japanese yet so speak it well, where are you from?” he asked. “Oh you noticed. I’m from  (country), I’m (nationality).” After they had gotten their food, (Y/N) hummed and took a small bite, and blew on it. “Cat’s tongue?” he observed while smirking.

(Y/N) rolled her eyes with her and jokingly elbowed him, only to earn laughter from the spiker. While munching on her chicken, (Y/N) asked. “Hey! There’s an amusement park here! You wanna go?” “Yeah sure, why not.” The pair threw their cups in a nearby trash bin, still unaware that they were being followed...well, the spiker had a hunch. 

This irked his mind and looked around, only to be pulled back to reality by (Y/N)’s voice. “We’re here,” (Y/N) spoke. Like a gentleman, Osamu paid for the tickets, even though the girl insisted. Once they were inside he turned to her. “So which one do you want to go to fir-” “Manager-chan!” 

‘I’m going to murder him.’ 

“Oh, M-miya-san!” (Y/N) said surprised, “What are you doing here?” “Yeah, what are you doing here, Sumu?” the younger twin emphasized. Not wanting to lose his cool in front of (Y/N), it took him every last nerve in his body to restrain him from beating the crap out of Atsumu. “Oh, I was just in the area and heard a pretty voice and decided to follow it.” winking at her. 

‘Don’t, Don’t, Don’t, Don’t, Don’t, Don’t-’

“Ah! (Y/N) you were meeting with them?!” 

‘You have literally got to be kidding me.’

“Kuroo?!” (Y/N) said now frowning, “What are you-” “(Y/N)-chan you’re okay!” “Lev?!” (Y/N) shook her head, “Okay is anyone else within the vicinity a volleyball player?!” Yaku and Kenma stepped out. (Y/N) put her hands on her cheeks, “You’ve gotta be kidding.” 

“Hmm, Nekoma’s captain..I thought you guys had a practice match.” Atsumu said, “And I thought you guys were too busy losing to still be here?” Kuroo challenged. The latter was engaged and the other three Nekoma boys had gotten distracted by a ride.

 Without saying a word, Osamu grabbed (Y/N) and swiftly pulled her through the crowd behind an empty booth. “Wha- Osamu-mmf” 

“Shh..” he whispered, covering her mouth with his hands.

 It was a very thin gap so the pair were much too close for “friends”. (Y/N) blushed in the process as he slowly removed his hand from her mouth. As if suddenly realizing what he’s done, he widened his eyes and stuttered. “O-oh my gosh, (Y-” he held back from saying her name, “I’m so so sorry.” 

(Y/N) laughed a bit and caught one of his wrists. Confused he just stared at her, an unkown certain heat slowly rising to his face. She didn’t say anything and only smiled and she ran out of the gap. 

They made their way through the crowds. Luckily the Ferris Wheel where she was headed to had a short line and she managed to get in a capsule as the door closed.

Once the two were in the capsule, they rested on opposite sides of the seat. “S-sorry, I saw them looking for us and this was the only solution,” she said laughing a bit. Osamu looked at her and kept silent; he rested his elbows on his thighs and bent his head down. 

“Osamu-kun?” When she had said that he brought a finger to her lips. “Osamu..just Osamu..” he breathed out. (Y/N) paused for a bit before returning the action of her finger on his lips. Taken aback the spiker looked and her as she smiled. 

“Then say my name.” 

“..what?” not moving from her original position she stated, “You haven’t said my name at all during this date.” The grey-haired teenager felt his heart race. 

‘She considered this a date?’

“Go on,” she encouraged. Unknowest to the both of them a string of sparks flew upwards and exploded right outside their capsule. Fireworks. 

This took (Y/N) by surprised as she yelped and instinctively threw herself and the nearest object to hold on to...which at that moment happened to be the spiker. She held herself to his chest, her eyes shut and Osamu leaned against the wall of the capsule in surprise, it took him a few second to figure out where to put his hands and after enough quick deliberation, decided on wrapping his arms around the girl who was sitting on his lap.

They were in that position for a good forty second before (Y/N) realized what position she was and pushed herself away but putting her hand on his chest, though still on his lap. “O-oh gosh, Osamu I’m so sorr-” 

He pulled her back to his chest, this time hugging her even tighter.

 He didn’t know how this would affect him after but right now he didn’t care, he was happy with this. “I like it..when you say my name..” his mouth that was now close to her ears muttered. She shuddered from the hot breath but relaxed soon after. “...(Y/N).” His doubts were eliminated as soon as he said that, as she hugged him even tighter and smiled to herself. 

They stayed like that in complete silence but both were happy. When the capsule finally arrived towards the lower levels, (Y/N) shifted herself away from the spiker and moved to sit beside him. “(Y/N)..” Osamu spoke. 

The manager would still get shudders every time he spoke her name. “I’m really glad I came to Tokyo, not just this but also for Nationals. I got to play so many more teams and it was honestly a once in a lifetime thing.” (Y/N) nodded, “Then I better see you next year as well,” Osamu gave a small smile and nodded back.

The pair had stepped out of the capsule only to find Atsumu waiting outside for them. “What the hell samu?! Why did you just leave-” “

That’s none of your concern, Tsum-Tsum.” he said putting a hand on his twins’ shoulder. He then looked behind and flashed a small smile at the girl, “Let’s go, (Y/N).”

CHAPTER 45: Gangsta’s Paradise – Part 3

Shizuka concentrates, and the impossible triangle in her hand expands.

A flash of light shines throughout the mirror world, this time originating from the palms of ACHTUNG BABY, as something from within its user’s mind is released. As the fading light subsides, Shizuka opens her eyes, and her smile widens. 

What was once an endless void of mirrors has been transformed into a series of winding stone staircases leading through all sorts of impossible angles and ways, leading from one platform to the next, going in any and all directions. A structure pulled straight from the mind of MC Escher. Within the stairways, the mirrors of GANGSTA’S PARADISE remain, but what was once an enclosed prison cell is now an expansive complex, full of twisting corners, stretching vertically through eternity. In the center of it all, GANGSTA’S PARADISE hangs above. Brother Dust’s voice emerges, a rumbling whisper. 

What…?

Shizuka ignores him and approaches one of the stairs. Cautiously, she takes a step on it. To her complete shock, it supports her.

“Ha… Hahahaha!! I can touch it!” She skips up the steps two at a time and dances at the stop, laughing the whole time. “ACHTUNG BABY’s illusions are made of light! They can’t be touched by human hands! In the normal world! But we’re not in the normal world, are we?! GANGSTA’S PARADISE flips everything on its head, and because of that, my illusions have become real! Thank you, Brother Dust!” Shizuka shouts, pointing at the Stand. “It’s all thanks to your power that this is possible now! You said that you alone held sway here, but I’m here to usurp your kingd-AAAH!!”

Her feet sink through the stone and she slips completely through it. Shizuka throws her hands up and catches the edge of the landing before falling. Before her eyes, the stone becomes gradually transparent, and her fingers begin slipping through. Shizuka concentrates, and the ledge’s solidity is restored, as she clambers back onto it.

“Ah…!” Shizuka realizes. “Of course it’s not that simple! I have to concentrate on maintaining this place! Boasting won’t get me anywhere… I need to focus on reaching Dust…!” Her determination renewed, she starts running skyward. 

In some secret corner of the warped dimension, Dust looks on at the Joestar princess, sneering at her as someone might regard a child throwing a tantrum in a supermarket.

“Petulant girl…” he thinks. “You believe you have an ounce of control here? Ridiculous… the true horror of GANGSTA’S PARADISE has hardly begun.”

In his secret corner, Dust flips through his Bible and begins reciting anew.

No matter how high Shizuka ascends, GANGSTA’S PARADISE remains in the exact same position, hovering overhead, never getting closer. 

Then, suddenly, an ominous voice returns.

If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God:

At the sound of Dust’s voice, GANGSTA’S PARADISE pulsates and Shizuka’s stairs begin moving, forming new staircases out of mirrors and leading into cryptic archways. Frowning, Shizuka halts and grimaces. ACHTUNG BABY waves its hands and the stairs grind in place, struggling like wild steers lassoed by cowboys as the Stand tries to force them back to the way they were.

“Damn, he’s messing with my control of this space,” Shizuka grumbles, sweat beading on her forehead. 

You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country. The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock--the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.

“Between keeping my illusions solid and under my control, and trying to find the preacher… Damn it! He has me pulled every which way! That old priest has to be hiding somewhere! As long as I keep this world in shape, I can still win!”

Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed. 

She grits her teeth and shouts, “And it would be a whole lot easier if you could just STOP THAT DAMN PREACHING!”

She shouts, but she might as well be squeaking. No echo emerges. In fact, she can't be sure whether her voice even left her mouth, but instead remained caught on the end of her tongue. The preaching goes on, unabated.

You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.

Shizuka pinches the corners of her eyes, gritting her teeth in frustration. Blinking, she looks upward, seeing the chandelier that is GANGSTA'S PARADISE hanging over her, far over her head as the ceiling appears to stretch upward.

“Why’s he moving the stairs? What advantage does that give him?” she ponders aloud, focusing on strategy to drown out the preaching. “He’s trying to get me lost, obviously. But why? Where’s he trying to lead me? Or rather… What's he leading me away from?”

She grins narrow-eyed at the jellyfish-like Stand above. “No matter what,” she declares, “The rules are the same. If you wanna defeat the Stand, you have to defeat the user. And by extension…!!!” 

With that shout, Shizuka reaches her hands out, and ACHTUNG BABY mimics her. They both hook their fingers, and her Stand’s power takes hold of the Escherspace and pulls. The entire complex descends to Shizuka’s position, pulled like a fisher’s net, and taking GANGSTA’S PARADISE with it. She releases, and at last the jellyfish Stand is removed from its fixed position and floats level with her. 

“If you defeat the Stand, you defeat the user too! You said zero destructive power, right…?!” she shouts exulted, sending ACHTUNG BABY forth to grab hold of the jellyfish. ACHTUNG BABY is not a physically powerful Stand, but neither is GANGSTA’S PARADISE. Just as the doll in magenta robes is about to grapple it, however, Dust’s voice thunders all around Shizuka.

THE LORD WILL GRANT THAT THE ENEMIES WHO RISE UP AGAINST YOU WILL BE DEFEATED BEFORE YOU. THEY WILL COME AT YOU FROM ONE DIRECTION BUT FLEE FROM YOU IN SEVEN.

The entire dimension shakes, as ACHTUNG BABY recoils, Shizuka trying her best to keep the ground beneath her solid, as the jellyfish chandelier to retreat back to its position above.

An image of Dust appears in each of the mirrors surrounding, still holding his precious Bible in his hands. His lips aren’t contorted in a shout, but rather his lips barely move. He is whispering, and by his Stand’s power, the volume of his voice is amplified.

THE LORD WILL SEND A BLESSING ON YOUR BARNS AND ON EVERYTHING YOU PUT YOUR HAND TO. THE LORD YOUR GOD WILL BLESS YOU IN THE LAND HE IS GIVING YOU. THE LORD WILL ESTABLISH YOU AS HIS HOLY PEOPLE, AS HE PROMISED YOU ON OATH, IF YOU KEEP THE COMMANDS OF THE LORD YOUR GOD AND WALK IN OBEDIENCE TO HIM.

“AHHHHHH!” Shizuka instinctively covers her ears with her hands, only to remember that the intent to do so makes the volume worse, like a megaphone is being blasted right next to her. Her frustration mounts, and she glares at the sneering faces of her enemy’s mirror images.

“So, you whisper, and then your voice comes out super loud? That’s it?! Anybody can do that! Once you figure it out it’s no big deal...!!”

With a deep breath, Shizuka begins to sing in a low voice. To her immense satisfaction, these tones echo throughout the Escherspace. With the confidence of practice, she opens with a smooth, soul-infused chorus, then the thick, pseudo-staccato lyrics accompanied by a heavy beat, provided by Shizuka’s steady clapping.

KNOCKING ON THE DOOR, LOST THE KEY TO THE KINGDOM SEARCHING FOR A SONG FROM UP ABOVE, A TALE OF LOVE

The images of Dust grimace, as his sermon is partially blocked, but he continues anyways.

THEN ALL THE PEOPLES ON EARTH WILL SEE THAT YOU ARE CALLED BY THE NAME OF THE LORD, AND THEY WILL FEAR YOU.

THE HEART IS BEATING - BUT WHERE IS ALL THE BLOOD? SWEET DREAMS ARE MADE OF THESE YOU KNOW I ALWAYS KNEW YOU WOULD

THE LORD WILL GRANT YOU ABUNDANT PROSPERITY—IN THE FRUIT OF YOUR WOMB, THE YOUNG OF YOUR LIVESTOCK AND THE CROPS OF YOUR GROUND—IN THE LAND HE SWORE TO YOUR ANCESTORS TO GIVE YOU. 

SHINING DIAMONDS, BLINDING THE KILLERS & QUEENS UNDERCOVER, FALSE LOVER, LEAVING ALL THE SUCKERS SEEING THINGS LIE IN WAIT, THE HAND OF FATE DESCENDS FROM ABOVE BLOOD, SWEAT & TEARS, THAT'S WHAT SWEET DREAMS ARE MADE OF

THE LORD WILL OPEN THE HEAVENS, THE STOREHOUSE OF HIS BOUNTY, TO SEND RAIN ON YOUR LAND IN SEASON AND TO BLESS ALL THE WORK OF YOUR HANDS. YOU WILL LEND TO MANY NATIONS BUT WILL BORROW FROM NONE.

 I'M A DREAMER, AND I'M DREAMING TODAY OF A BRAVE NEW WORLD, FOR WHICH THE HOLY MEN PRAY ACROSS OCEANS, TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH, ON A MISSION FROM GOD, BOY, YOU GONNA GET HURT

THE LORD WILL MAKE YOU THE HEAD, NOT THE TAIL. IF YOU PAY ATTENTION TO THE COMMANDS OF THE LORD YOUR GOD THAT I GIVE YOU THIS DAY AND CAREFULLY FOLLOW THEM, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE AT THE TOP, NEVER AT THE BOTTOM. DO NOT TURN ASIDE FROM ANY OF THE COMMANDS I GIVE YOU TODAY, TO THE RIGHT OR TO THE LEFT, FOLLOWING OTHER GODS AND SERVING THEM.

BUT WHAT'S IT MEAN, WHEN YOU LIVE FOR A DREAM WHILE SATURN EAT HIS BABIES AND THE WITCH KING SCREAMS? YOU WENT AND LOST THE MOST IMPORTANT THING A CONSTANT STATE OF FEAR & MISERY, WHAT KINDA SONG YOU GONNA SING?

WHAT ON EARTH IS THAT GARBAGE YOU KEEP SPOUTING?!

Shizuka freezes, punctuating the final line with a resounding clap. All she did was sing to herself, but the song cancelled out the ruinous wavelength of Dust’s preaching, rendering it inert.

She smirks and picks her ear with a pinky finger. “Don’t tell me you never heard it before. That's ‘Dreamer’s High’, by C-King. It’s a platinum hit, man, it's everywhere. Don’t you even listen to the radio?

I’ve never heard such godless filth in my life. If this is what counts for music these days, no wonder you’ve proven so difficult.
