he'd be so confused once he saw a little boy just like him. not just in appearance, but with his whole energy. once he learned and accepted the fact that the boy – who was his mini version, the crew couldn't even doubt – was his son, he refused to give him back to his timeline.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ[ ☆ ]

the straw hat crew has just docked at an island so they could get some supplies before getting back to sailing.

"okay, so, sanji and i are going to get some food," you tell, waiting for sanji to get out of the kitchen with the list.

"robin and i are going shopping!" nami says excitedly. "are you sure you don't wanna go with us instead with... him...?" she points to the blonde cook, who was lighting up another cigarette.

"i wanna go too!" luffy yells from inside, running to the deck, where the crew were at.

"you. stay." the navigator says through her teeth. "we'll be quick and don't need any trouble. you stay with zoro and watch the ship."

luffy pouted, watching his crew get down from the ship. he looked at zoro, thinking if he could pest him a little, but soon the swordsman brushed him off saying "i'm gonna sleep. if you make any noise or cause some trouble, i'm gonna slice you in three."

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ[ ... ]

nami and robin were getting out of another store with more bags, chatting about random things when a kid bumped into them and fell.

"oh, i'm sorry, little one..." robin drops her bags and kneels in front of the little boy, offering her hand to help him stand up, but as soon as she sees his lips quivering and his eyes starting to get wet, she worries.

the little boy stretched his arms out to her, asking silently to be picked up and so she did.

"where are your parents, little boy?" nami asks in a soft tone, watching him getting comfortable in robin's arms.

"and what's your name?" the archaeologist drops the second question.

the kid gazed at the woman, lips quivering again and his voice trembling when he asked "you... you don't rwemember my name aunt lobin?"

nami gave her a weird look. she was as confused as robin. watching the little one in her arms closer, he reminded her of someone. the messy black hair, the big round eyes, the pout. why the hell does this kid look so much like luffy? robin seemed to notice the same thing as her.

"okay... so... what about we look for your parents, huh? and you can tell me your name 'cause i love hearing you say it!" the older woman says, eliciting a big smile from the boy. nami coughed immediately.

"can we go to the shwip? i'm sure they are thewe!" he holds the women's hands and pulls them in any direction.

it sure made the navigator and the archaeologist even more confused because how did he know they had a ship? and why would his parents be there?

"so, sweetheart, tell me your name?" robin asks once again.

"oh! i'm kazuki!" he stops abruptly, making nami almost trip and fall. "i'm monkey d. kazuki!" and that's how their jaws went slack.

"YOU'RE WHO?!" they panic.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ[ ... ]

as soon as the girls got back to the sunny, they met all of the crewmates, except for sanji and you, who apparently hadn't been back yet.

"who's that kid?" usopp asks confused. mainly because he couldn't pry kazuki off of him and his nose.

"where did this kid come from?" zoro asks. he was starting to get irritated.

"uncle zoro, whewe is dada?" the little version of luffy asks, a bit upset that usopp could get him off of him.

"how would i know, kiddo?" he answers in the same annoyed tone as ever.

"i'm so hungry! when is sanji coming?" luffy whines, showing up at the deck and there they could spot the similarities.

not only their hair, eyes, pout, or even the big grin kazuki offered, but the energy the kid had. he was just like luffy in many ways. he just wasn't that loud like the straw hat captain – thanks to his mother.

once the crew saw them together, all the pieces seemed to connect. one, two, three blinks in disbelief and the boys' jaws fell to the ground.

"oh, hey kid!" luffy greets him friendly.

"dada!" the little boy jumped into the captain's arms who seemed as clueless as ever.

and a wave of yelling could be heard.

a couple of minutes has passed by and luffy and his son seemed to get along well. zoro, chopper, usopp, brook and franky were in the same position, they were still loading the information.

the captain and his little kid were running around the sunny, playing tag. they even tried to call the others but they didn't... seem like playing.

"you know, kazuki is too old to be in this... uhm... timeline..." nami points it out to robin.

"i know. how can luffy have had a son?" she murmurs, watching both run and giggle around the ship.

"robin!" it seems to call the other back to earth. "i'm seriously worried! and we don't even know who his mother is." the navigator looks stressed. one luffy is enough trouble, but a luffy and a mini him?

"we don't even know how he got here in the first place." robin sighs.

"we're back!" you announce as you put some bags on the floor.

"wow! you took more time than us." nami approaches you. "what happened?"

"well... sanji decided to pick up a fight over a fish..." you say casually. "uhm... did we miss something?" you notice the boys, finding it normal – well, for the straw hats, but as soon you spot a kid running around the ship with the manchild your captain is, you get confused. "who's that kid?"

"long story..." nami smiles innocently.

"did you kidnap a kid?"

"what? no! it's not- it isn't-"

"mama!" a childly voice is heard from the depths of the sunny and you can see that kid from before running to you happily.

okay, it's going too far!

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ[ ... ]

"so, this kid, kazuki, is luffy son's with... you?!" usopp tries to connect all the pieces. you hum an "yes" and his brain seems to burn. "too much information, too much information!" he holds his head while falling to the ground dramatically.

"when did you and luffy make a baby?" zoro asks confused as ever.

"don't be stupid mosshead. this kid is clearly from the future." sanji answers, blowing the smoke away.

"thanks, sanji." you smile at him, who looks at you like he's helplessly in love.

you feel a tug in your shirt and look down at your kid. "is something wrong, little one?"

"mama, i wanna sleep..." he rubs his eyes and yawns, blinking slowly while stretching his arms out to you. the whole crew – zoro included – had their hearts melted.

"then let's sleep, huh?" you say softly, picking him up and gently caressing his cheek and hair as he snuggled against you.

luffy runs to you, seeing his child in your arms. "what? don't tell me you're sleepy already, kid!" the captain pouts, watching the baby yawn. "no, let's play more!" he bounces excitedly.

"luffy, he's tired." you hiss, wanting your baby as calm as possible.

"but i wanna play more with my son!" he insists.

"you played enough, don't you think?" you start to make your way inside the sunny with luffy following you, insisting that they should play more. "now he wants to sleep with his mama."

"but-"

"mama, dada, let's sleep, pwease?" hearing the sleepy voice of his child, luffy seems to calm down a little.

"sure baby." you peck his forehead. "but your dada is not joining us 'till he baths." luffy gasps.

"how can you betray the dada of your child like that?" the captain whines, still following you to your quarters.

"yeah, i guess they settled pretty quickly to this life of mama and dada." nami comments, grinning at their recent view.

"i can't believe this idiot became a father before me." usopp complains, murmuring still lying on the floor.

"how do you know that?" chopper asks. "well, maybe all of you are already parents in the future..." that simple sentence was enough to ignite something in zoro, usopp and sanji.

"hey, kazuki! don't sleep right now!" zoro shouts.

"yeah, tell me if your great uncle usopp gave you little friends to play with, huh?" usopp is the first to run, looking for the little family.

"surely i'm the only one qualified enough to even get a spouse!" sanji yells at zoro, punching him to reach the one person who could give him the precious information.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤZ O R O

he'd be as confused as luffy and would deny every word that kid would say. like, only just because a kid has green hair, is almost obsessed with swords, has the guts to insult him and is the sassiest kid he'd ever met, that is his son, huh? he definitely could grow accustomed to the presence of that child and the fact that he made him with you.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ[ ☆ ]

another island could be seen by the pirates. it meant they could dock there to stock some items. franky was the one eager. on their way, some pirates tried to fight the straw hats – which obviously couldn't be a good idea. well, the matter is, the sunny had some minor damages and usopp and franky were trying to keep their home alive.

chopper and you didn't need anything. the medical supplies were enough for a while, so you and he didn't need to go outside, but he wanted to. nami went to see if she could buy something she liked. luffy went to see if he could find a nice restaurant. zoro, robin, brook and you stayed on the ship.

zoro and you had a hate-love relationship. you were friends and would get along, but he's the sassiest man you've ever met and just gets on your nerves. you just want to kill him.

some time has passed by and the crew came back. you were still reading your book, laying your head on robin's legs as she sunbathed.

"hey, uhm... i didn't know zoro and you were together..." usopp says awkwardly, approaching you as robin coughs in disbelief.

"we're not." you stand up, angry. "what is that stupid vegetable slicer saying now?"

"no! nothing! is just... franky and i found a kid... and he's... claiming to be your son..." you gag.

"MY WHAT?!" you hear zoro yelling and soon coughing desperately.

"where is he?" you ask the sharpshooter who points to the entrance. the green-haired kid looks so timid. he's just standing there, looking at every part of the ship. you approach him calmly, bending a bit so you can talk better to him. "hey, kid!" you offer him a smile and he can't help but feel calmer.

"hi, mom..." he answers in a low voice, still shy.

"why don't you say your name and we get to meet the others, huh? so you can tell us more about what's going on. do you know what's going on?" he looks into your eyes and advert his gaze again.

"something like that..." he plays with his fingers before answering your first question. "my name is roronoa koro." your eyes widen a bit, you can't hide your surprise.

"so you're really the kid of that stupid man..." you murmur and he nods.

"i swear he gets more likeable in the future." koro says, earning a warmful giggle from you. seeing his mother never fails to calm him.

"i rather see it myself." you offer your hand to him, who holds it without even thinking. "let's see the others."

as you walk hand-in-hand with koro, getting closer to the crewmates, they couldn't believe what their eyes were just seeing.

zoro's jaw fell on the ground. how- how can he have a child? with... you?

the little kid gasps immediately once he sees the swords zoro is carrying. he runs to his father and try to touch the the swords, but the grumpy swordsman doesn't let him to.

"what you think you doing?" he asks, holding the kid's head so he couldn't get closer.

"do you use them often?" the boy asks, curiosity dripping from his eyes.

"of course, i use them often. why wouldn't i?"

"well, currently, the three swords are untouched, held by a support in the living room's wall..." the little roronoa answers, trying to touch them at all costs. "let me see it!"

"no, you won't touch it!" zoro insists.

a loud noise was heard by the crew. a tray with some snacks was splattered on the floor while sanji stood there, looking at the little mosshead in front of him.

"am i seeing it right?" the blond cook's eyes were wide open. "WHY IS THERE A LITTLE MOSSHEAD?"

"uncle sanji!" the little boy runs to his beloved uncle, who was left flabbergasted.

"you like him? he's a stupid cook!" the swordsman was at a loss of words.

"and so are you." sanji laughs his ass off. his eyes glossy because of the tears of joy. "seriously... i can't believe you had- well, you're gonna have kids with this idiot." he talks directly to you.

"trust me... i have no reasons to..."

"my favourite boy! tell me, kid, what do you wanna eat? i can prepare anything just for you." sanji talks to him, guiding koro to the kitchen. luffy is following them quietly until sanji yells at him so he scurries away.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ[ ... ]

trying to know more about him and where he came from, zoro and you sit and talk to koro. you were lying on a wall, koro was by your side and zoro was in front of you.

"so, how did you come here?" you ask the boy.

"i don't know. last thing i remember i was sleeping, then i ended up at that weird place." your son explains. "the weirdest thing is... my sister was next to me... why she's not here too?" he sounded confused.

"wait... not only one but two kids with the mosshead? what did i do to deserve such a punishment?" you mumble.

"ha ha, like it's my dream to have kids with you." the swordsman hissed.

"not only two, but three. you're pregnant." you gag as you listen to his words.

"three..." you whisper, not believing a thing. "what's your thing, huh? three earrings, three swords, three kids. are you obsessed or something?" you yell at zoro who just smirks.

"might be my lucky number." he keeps that eat-shitting grin on that stupid pretty face while you die internally. "wait, you have a sister... what's her... name?"

"the one you fought mom to name her. kuina." koro's face lit up at the mention of his sister. he really loves his family.

that annoying grin zoro held up in his face was replaced by a genuine smile which made you smile along, happy. koro knew about the past of both his parents and was really proud of them.

"lord, please give me strenght..." you sigh. "well, i know it can be a bit... confusing not to call me mom, so you can keep it..."

"and you like it..." you son knows you too well no to notice it. doesn't matter what timeline he's at, you'll always be his favourite person.

"and i like it..." you smile, ruffling his short green hair. "okay, i'll try to find some way to send you back to your life. future me and... zoro... might be worried." you stand up, pecking his forehead and walk away.

"pleeease, let me see it! mom never lets me..." the little boy pouts, making grabby hands at his father as soon as you're out of sight. "please, dad!"

that word. that kid.

"fine. but only if you tell me some things. it'll be our... little dad and son secret." zoro suggests, knowing way too well his son wouldn't refuse.

"deal!" he answers excitedly while watching his father pull wado ichimonji from its sheath.

koro inspects the sword. his eyes are bright, sparkling like a starry sky. he's just like his father, a swords lover. even though his mother has forbidden him from using one. zoro has an amused look watching his little soon-to-be-swordsman.

"so... did i become the greatest swordsman?" he questions, seeing koro maneuvering his sword.

"yes, you defeated mihawk." the reply is short and simple due to the boy's concentration to something else.

zoro just celebrates, murmuring a few things, feeling like he's the strongest man alive.

"did future me teach you that well how to use a sword?"

"sure thing! despite mom's clear rule not to let me touch a sword 'til i was sixteen, you've started to teach me two years ago." the kid smiles.

"and... last thing... uhm... did future me ever tell you how i get your mom?" the swordsman looks a little hesitant, even more when he sees the knowing look koro was shooting at him.

"hate her my ass." the roronoa kid mumbles.

"hey!"

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤU S O P P

the moment he spotted you coming back with a child, he thought you've just kidnapped her, but as soon as he laid his eyes on the little girl, he thought it was too good to be just a joke. when the girl introduced herself, he couldn't help but smile and welcome her, loving the idea of being the father of such a cute girl.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ[ ☆ ]

the crew were preparing to set sail. the island they docked at was way too small, so they hadn't much to do there. as soon as they've got everything they needed – or the island could provide – they'd get back to sailing.

yet, you were walking around the place, seeing some things, and if you liked it, you'd keep it.

you were standing at a fruit stall, hearing the seller babble about some rare golden fruit he just got from a distant island, but you knew it was just talking. you were distracted by your favourite fruit – which looked so pretty and delicious – that you didn't even notice a little girl running around.

"dada? dada!" she was screaming. she looked so terrified.

you turned around, seeing the kid crying. some people were trying to help her, some people were just ignoring her and passing by. but as soon as she spots you, she runs to you like you are her hope.

"mama!" she clutched to you and refused to let you go.

"oh! uhm... hey, baby... i'm- i'm not your mother, kid..." you tried to pry her off of you, but her grip was too strong.

"yes, you are! you're my mama! dada always talks about you and shows pictures of both of you. you are my mama!" she yells at you, not giving you space.

"okay, okay, let me see you, right?" she looked hesitant, but eventually she loosened her grip and looked up to you. she was so beautiful and reminded you of someone. "first, tell me your name, huh?" you knelt in front of her, taking her face in your hands.

"nyla..." the girl looks at you with such admiration.

"and where are your parents?" she frowned.

"you're here!" she insists, pouting when you refuse to be her mother. "you've met me! and dada might... be on the ship?"

"what?"

"the ship, mommy! can we go there, please?" her eyes were sparkling.

"fine..." you just accept. she streches her arms out to you, wanting to be as close as possible to you. you pick her up, heading to the sunny.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ[ ... ]

"uhm... who's... that girl?" usopp asks as he's the first to spot you with a child in your arms.

"dada!" nyla is quick to let go of you and run to her father, who just stands there, looking shocked.

"HE'S YOUR FATHER?" you yell, as shocked as usopp.

"yes! and you're my mama! and i'm happy to be here!" she points and hugs usopp, who embraces her too.

nami shows up at the deck and frowns. "who-"

"our daughter." you just accepted. it looked so confusing and complicated, you just accepted.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ[ ... ]

late at night, nyla wanted her father to sleep with both of you, but when you said usopp had to sleep in the boy's quarters, she sulked a bit, but eventually, accepted. it was clear to see that she was attached to you, like your shadow, or an extension of you.

"okay, so, i can stay just by the time you sleep, or else your mother throws me outta the ship." usopp explains casually, smiling, getting in the bed.

"right! i want mommy anyways!" she nuzzles her face in the crook of your neck while hugging you.

"see! i'm the favourite, hah!" you tease the sniper, who crosses his arms, sulking.

"that's not fair, nyla!" he tells her in a whining voice.

right after that, you can feel something wet on your neck and a sniffing.

"nyla, baby, why you're crying?" you push her a bit, trying to see her face. her eyes are red and wet, tears rolling down her cheeks nonstop.

"dada are you mad at me?" the little girl asks her father, whose eyes widen in surprise.

"no, no, i could never, love." he rushes to scoop her in his arms, calming her.

"i just wanna spend more time with mama..." her voice is muffled due to her face being pressed to usopp's chest.

"why that? i'll always be with you, huh?" you try to soothe her, but it doesn't, she sobs even more.

"i just have my dada now, mama. you're not there. i wanna spend more time with you because when i get back you won't be there..." you glanced at usopp, who looked even more panicked than you are.

"hey, come to mama..." you call her and nyla is quick to hug you. "don't think about that, okay? i'm here for you right now." you kiss her cheek, wiping her tears away. "and i won't leave by your side until is your time to get back to your life." she looked into your eyes, trying to catch every inch of your face so she can remember. "now let's sleep so tomorrow we can enjoy more!" she smiled.

"night momma, night dada!" nyla pecked yours and her father's cheek, then she closed her eyes, waiting for her time to be kissed.

usopp and you chuckled, leaning in to kiss both of her cheeks, making her giggle happily.

"night, baby girl." usopp sang, caressing her hair.

you closed your eyes, getting yourself comfortable to sleep and usopp stayed there, just like he said. well, is not like he'll get any sleep that night, after all, now he knows he has a daughter with the woman of his dreams, but she's not there.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤS A N J I

the moment he saw a little girl looking for her parents, he'd be stunned. he could clearly see some of your traits on her face, just like your smile – the thing he adored the most about you. but he'd be confused asf, because who's that girl? when she finally introduces herself, saying she's the daughter of blackleg sanji and you, he'd faint. has... his dream just come true?

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ[ ☆ ]

you were in the kitchen with sanji. since the others have just gone to explore the new island, someone had to watch the ship, and you offered to do that. the cook, not missing an opportunity, said he'd be with you, after all, he couldn't let a delicate flower like you alone at an unknown place, right?

at the moment, sanji is cooking like always. he's making some kind of dessert he refuses to tell what it is.

"sanji, are you sure it doesn't contain anything i'm allergic to?" you ask, trying to peek at some of the ingredients.

"please, my swan, i'm not some kind of inexperienced chef, am i? i would never cook something you're allergic to. now, please, take a seat and be ready, i'm almost done." he says and you do, taking your seat and preparing yourself. sanji turns around, placing the plate with the colourful dessert in front of you. "et voilà! hope you like it!"

"i always appreciate your cooking." and you take a little bite. your eyes roll in pleasure. you're so lucky to have a sous chef in your crew.

sanji just looked at you in awe. he could move a mountain if it meant he could get you smiling.

"excuse me!" an unknown voice shouted from afar. you shoot a glance at the cook who is doing just the same.

"can't believe i'm being interrupted..." you murmur, taking another bite before heading to the deck with sanji following you.

there you were welcomed by a girl. her blue dress was a little dirty and you wondered if she has fallen.

"can we help you?" the blond cook asked her in a soft voice.

"uhmm... yes..." she looked a little hesitant. "i know it may sound a bit... unusual, but... my name is heaven and... i'm your daughter..." she avoided your gaze.

a loud thump was heard and you looked at your side. sanji has just fainted.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ[ ... ]

caught by some headache, sanji woke up. he was lying on the hammock...? but, i was on the deck...? well, he had some kinda dream. not weird, but the perfect dream! that might be the reason for that headache.

hearing distant voices, he waltzed through the ship, going to the kitchen. there, he could see you and the same girl in his dream!

"what?" he mumbles. heaven notices him and signs to you.

"oh, sanji, dear, come here!" you called him so excited he couldn't refuse – not like he would do it anyways. he always does what you say. "do you remember what heaven said?" you ask carefully.

"uhm... she's our daughter...?" the cook says hesitantly, afraid that what he has heard was just a dream.

"yess!" you squeal.

the girl seemed so amused. getting to know her parents when they're not even together yet. in her timeline, they're so in love with each other and her and... now... her mother seems so clueless or just... don't wanna know about him. after all sanji is a womanizer (for now).

"so it's true! hah! i thought it was just a dream, but is true!" now is his time to squeal and that makes heaven smile.

"it's different to see you like that..." the girl points out. "you know... having your hair hiding your eye."

"uhm..." he clears his throat. "it's just part of my style."

"i like your curly brows, dad!" she smiled and that alone would make sanji smile too, but the way she called him, it warmed his heart.

"okay, sanji, we've got you're excited to know you have a daughter-" you start, but he interrupts.

"with you! the most amazing woman i've ever got to know!" he bats his lashes, smiling widely.

"yeah... with me... but we need to know how to send her back to her timeline. she can't be here. she's not supposed to be here. future you and me might be worried... mainly you." you explain and he quickly gets to hug the girl, who appreciates her father's gesture.

"but she's our daughter! would you do that?!" he sounds so desperate, you may just slap him.

"yeah! but only in the future! it'll just mess up our time! maybe we don't even get together anymore."

"okay, kid! see you in the future." he immediately walks away from her, but quickly runs back, clinging to her. "but we can keep her while we don't find a way to send her back, right?"

"yeah! can i?" she joins her father, pouting and batting her lashes.

"fine! you didn't even need to do all that! what would i do to you if not keep you? throw you at the sea?" you ask in disbelief.

"he's the one most likely to get thrown..." heaven points to sanji.

"hey!"

"let's just wait for the crew and give 'em some good news." you smile, watching sanji and heaven get along well.

@LOLASKY ᡣ 𐭩 actually i've wrote sanji's part with the live action sanji in mind. idk he just looks so more mature... actually the live action characters in general!! but yeah wtv- dividers and template by @/cafekitsune

Just grooming headcanons and how would DO/SW react to reader busting out a whole ass skincare/haircare routine with tons of nice smelling products, shampoos, oils and hair masks

monke getting pampered tonight!!!

Okay! So I have grooming thoughts/HC and I’ll maybe get a whole post together at some point for it, but for now I wanna focus on this particular scenario of modern reader wanting to pamper him.

So, I feel like they would actually react the same way about this, mainly because they both grew up in the same environment and are both warriors etc. That being said I do think there will be a few differences and I’ll list them out.

Before I begin, I want to preface that I think if would be funny if they BOTH would be very against/dont wanna do it at first (I’ll explain why- this is in regards to the skincar/haircare/oils etc not general grooming).

I think SW out of the two would be easier to convince, not right away, but I do think hed eventually give in quicker than DO. I also think SW would seek you out after he realized how much he liked it and would demand his pampering. DO would be more subtle about it and let himself get a little extra messy so you offer it. DO is more on the indifferent side, thinking it’s pointless where as SW thinks that but also sees it as ‘fancy’ and too ‘soft’.

- [ ] You would think he’d jump at the chance to be groomed and have your hands running through his fur? Generally yes. But this? No.

- [ ] Absolutely Refuses when you first bring it up. Curls his lip and wrinkles his nose and everything.

- [ ] Thinks it’s a waste. Of. Time.

- [ ] He would be just fine with a wash and scrub in the river/waterfall, doesnt need whatever the hell that is.

- [ ] Doesnt like how stuff feels on his fur (even if it’s gonna be washed off) - he has yet to experience the joy of modern products making his fur extra soft though.

- [ ] He’s gonna argue that for him, someone who regularly gets into fights and rolls around getting into shit and is always getting filthy for one reason or another, wasting all that stuff is useless. (Not that hes dirty, he washes all the time)

- [ ] The scents of the products would irritate his sensitive nose so before you ask again you’d have to find stuff that he could deal with.

- [ ] Grooming is important in his culture so he genuinely loves grooming and being groomed by you, BUT he drawls the line at this fancy frou-frou modern shit. He is a strong, independent warrior and does NOT need to smell like a flower (disregarding how often he rolls in them when playing with monkey cubs).

- [ ] As much as he grew up being used to grooming and it being a bonding thing, it’s not something he is used to in regards of “being taken care of”. It was more of a social thing so you wanting to take care of him makes him on edge.

- [ ] If you keep at it though eventually he will give in, just the once (he thinks). Especially when you show him the products before hand and they dont smell AS bad.

- [ ] He’s gonna pout and sigh dramatically through the first bit of it. Trying to keep up a ‘I’m only doing this for you, you owe me’ facade.

- [ ] But he very quickly realizes that he freaking adores this!

- [ ] The low lighting, soft smells, warm fuzzy atmosphere, being the focus of your attention for an extended period of time?

- [ ] You rinsing his fur? Slowly massaging in the soaps and scraping your nails gently over his skin? The hot warm water coupled with you rubbing the knots out of his sore muscles? Drying him with gentle towel rubs and light blow drying so he’s nice and soft and fluffy? Rubbing oil or lotion on the fur less patches of his so his skin is hydrated and soft? You just touching him for so damn long tenderly, letting him lean back against your chest when in the tub or letting him lay across your lap as you blow dry his back, or giving him a real massage after while he just lies there feeling like a fucking cloud? Even with the damn moist thing you put on his face.

- [ ] He is in fucking LOVE and heaven. THIS is the real heaven, right here. You have one giant puddle of a monkey and you’ve done it now.

- [ ] He’s going to be letting out so many sighs and light grunts/groans of innocent pleasure. His mind will be quiet and he will just bask in the attention you’ve given him.

- [ ] Very addicted to it although it wont happen SUPER often. (Although you made him boujee about his soap now so this is your fault)

- [ ] SWK - again will from here on DEMAND his pamperings when he deems it time. DO - will be more subtle about it, purposely letting himself get messy and take bare minimum washes so you get fed up with how disheveled his fur is and ‘make’ him sit for you for a night of pampering time.

- [ ] He is gonna be smug as fuck though to other monkeys / people with his glossy soft fur and beautiful shining soft skin. SWK would strut like a peacock and DO would be a bit more subtle about it but would still show off.

- [ ] Definitely WILL return the favor. Enjoys it very much in fact, again it’s a social thing/bonding thing, plus he gets to make you feel special too/has his hands on you for extended periods of time.

Side note: I feel like since this is more of a pamper the monkey thing spicy time would be on a low simmer. But if it leads to it, it would happen AFTER everything is said and done. Not that he wouldn’t get you worked up or you him, slick hands are traveling all over each others bodies after all (sometimes deliberately). But I think it would be tender and slow, just enjoying the warm soft gooey atmosphere you two have created for the night.

@elianaroselight ha chiesto: This feels a little silly, but what is ISAT? I read through your ISAT Sky AU comic and I feel like I am missing half of the story. I love what I'm seeing so far and want more, but I also don't know or completely understand who the characters are and why I should care about them (more than I do already at least). Sorry if this is silly. I just want to understand.

ISAT is short for "In Stars And Time". It's an RPG game made by @insertdisc5. ABsolutely go check it out otherwise you wont understand a thing about the characters of the AU!

when i was reading the most recent page of the In Skies and Time™️ comic I had the most hilarious image in my head of just a bunch of sky kids smacking down on the same area and making this. sky kid pileup????? [since it seems liek theyre all gonna come back like that..] it was super funny to imagine 30 CAR PILEUP 🔥🔥🔥

AWWW SKY KID MOUNTAIN!! Lol probably it would happen? Like when you do Eden just after reset and when you get reborn there's like 7 other players clipped in you rebirth animation in the aviary /home space

Anonimo ha chiesto: Awwwww Bonnie was so excited 😢

poor Bonnie they will get their comfort moment eventually

@sohrleas ha chiesto: YOU YOU'RE THE REASON WHY I got Sky 'cause I saw your isat sky au and got super curious about the game Your art is beautiful and I love it 💚💚💚

@o0mochacoffee0o This isn’t related to you Bio dad AU Like my usuals- I just saw in your abut that you like CotL! Now you share two of my interests!! I’m curious to know your favorite parts of the game, if you have any ships, head canons, etc!! I always love listening to people’s opinions on things I love!

About Scotl? I don't have any specific headcanon, but I do ship Moments Guide and Reassuring Ranges. The only thing that I crave for that game is MORE LORE GODDAMN IT

Anonimo ha chiesto: When I said the fun was dying. I did not expected this. I'M SCREAMING AND PUNCHING THE BED NOOOOOOOOOOOO SIFFF

*sips coffee* welcome to hell (literally)

Anonimo ha chiesto: "is that thing a sadness?!" sweet summer child that thing is a menace of death

It absolutely is

Anonimo ha chiesto: Poor Siffrin’s gotta be absolutely TERRIFIED Big scary beast thing spotted them AND suddenly getting bathed in the color they associate with bad stuff? I can’t imagine anyone who wouldn’t be quaking in their boots.

He is in desperate need of comfort that wont come in like- a irl month I think

Anonimo ha chiesto: I know you won’t be doing the golden wastelands but… Once the party discovers that the groundwater has the same effect as the forest rain, Isabeau decides to bridal carry Siffrin the whole way. Leaving Siffrin a blushy mess. Also, almost if not everyone is scared shitless of the Dark Dragons/Krill (totally not projecting)

Anonimo ha chiesto: THE FAKE ACT 4 LOOKING SMILE . THE ACT 5 EDEN MOMENT. THE PARTY BEING SENT BACK . DIES "oh yeah if I still have energy I can loop back" ← me when I'm lying

@starlight-and-clockwork ha chiesto: bawling and kicking and screaming and pulling my hair out THAT PANEL OF SIFFRIN ASKING HIS FAMILY TO REMEMBER HIM WILL HAUNT ME FOREVER YOU ARE SO TALENTED AND CAUSE ME MUCH PAIN THANK U<3

@aro-aces-world ha chiesto: I just caught up with ISAT sky au Fuck you /affectionate

Thank you! Be ready to be even more destroyed by the following updates!

@cherryblossomventi ha chiesto: I’m gonna go feral, Sif did that because he knows he can kinda come back from this with the shooting star thing Im guessing but the others cant/might not because they aren’t from this land,,, oh buddy why didn’t you tell them stop being cryptic idiot

Sif doesn't really remember that he can be reborn like in Sky. He knows only that, if he can reach the light right at the base of the cataclysm, then maybe he can return as well.

[newkatzkafe2023]

Here is an interesting ask. How are the Sun Wukongs during their heats or mating season? Are they more desperate? Assertive? Do they make moves or gestures on our beloved fellow reader? And do you also believe that each Sun Wukong has their own kink that they are into? >;3

He's gonna make you forget about going back to being single😉🤷‍♀️

(Lmk Wukong) Ohhhhhhhhhh, my boi usually had lots of self-control at this time, but ever since he got with you, it's now a huge struggle. Look at you sitting there looking all cute and innocent in your peach color sundresses. Then you have the nerve to cutely check on him like a good wifey should, and the final straw was when you lade on a flat surface looking all relaxed and sleepy. He couldn't handle it, so he started by taking off his shirt as he gently talked to you and rubbed your back, then he'll remove his pants showing his bulge and muscles. He'll distract you with a make out session as he strips you as well, whispering promises and compliments into your cute little ears. He'll go for the next and rocks your world of romance and Desperation. I totally see his kink being corruption and desperation as he slowly takes your innocence🤤

(HIB Wukong) He wants to knock you up and leave you with a whole army of cubs. Allow me to explain that you were always the gentle motherly type with Silly Girl and Luier as you care for both of them. He would find it so hot that you would turn vicious whenever anyone in your precious little families were in danger, and he loved that. It makes him wanna throw you on your back and thrust into you like It might be the lasting he does. The downside is he doesn't wanna force you into anything, especially when he can hardly think straight during mating season. So you know what, he usually spends this time alone, fortunately and unfortunately for him, you were always able to read him like an open book and you appreciate how considerate he's trying to be but you were hot and ready. So all you had to do was get on your knees and wiggle your birthing hips at him and he'll be on you like white on rice. The Breeding kink is his go to as he spends his free time looking at your thighs 😏

(MKR Wukong) HIS TERRITORIAL INSTINCTS WOULD MAKE THIS MATING SEASON SEXY AND SCARY!!!!! He doesn't want anyone looking at you, smelling you, or even breathing around you. You know why because you belong to him, that's right his heat makes his already extremely possessive ass, unreasonably possessive. You could just be laying there, and he would come and growl, snarl, and hiss at anyone he considered a rival of your attention and affection. Then things get really heated when he displays his ridiculous strength and feats, as he goes out of his way to impress you so much you'll have to open your legs for him. Not to mention, he'll totally mark you and dominate you as he rocks your world and reenact the big bang with you. His kink absolutely is Dominance and play fighting because he and you love to play rough and end it with a tender kiss.

(NR Wukong) MY GOD, his heat makes him so much of a depraved perverted yandere. It gives you the Urge the call the police😬. He'll have hearts in his eyes as he pants, shakes, and sweats as he peeks at you from through your bathroom or bedroom window. He has no shame, no self control, and apparently no dignity at the moment as he would sometimes break into your space and grind on you as he like his life depends on it as he purrs and makes filthy promises and oaths in your ears. Seriously, you can feel his surprise commander is on your other pairs of lips, and if he not he's gonna pop right their in his pants as he makes you gush and squirt through your underwear It's official that his all kinks are gonna involve chains, whips, heavy leather, and a ball gag.

(Netflix Wukong) Out of Alll the monkey kings I feel he'll hate both mating season and his heat the most. Like seriously It makes him the equivalent to a teenage boy starting to go through puberty, His boners are both frequent and come at the worst time. It especially got worse when you came around, you displaying all your goods and treasures that make him drool all over his armor. This whole thing is Unbearable, embarrassing and he hates when it happens, so he never tells you about it but it's so hard to control himself when your right there. Ready for him to take you and make you forget about whatever problems you have, and oh god he would last as he jumps your bones In a desperate attempt to please you and himself. His kink my be Stereotypical or too obvious but I can see him having a mommy kink, as he chirps like a baby monkey, as he thrust into you and begs for your love, affection and potential Milk for him to suck on as he calls you mommy.🥵

FEEL FREE TO REBLOG🥵😉🤤😈😳😘

"wait rin! did you buy a candle?" you ask the youngest itoshi in shambles as you hurriedly tried to put everything together for sae's midnight surprise as it was his birthday in approximately two minutes.

rin rummages his pockets for the single candle he bought at the convenience store near your shared apartment with his older brother.

"here" he delicately places the candle onto your little cake that you've generously baked hours earlier when sae was at his trainings.

you take a look around the shared space of your living room and kitchen. it was filled silver decorations like balloons and streamers all scattered around. a big sign that says 'happy birthday sae' is propped on the wall.

everything was perfect and in place.

you couldn’t have done this all without the help of his brother and of course his two friends, shidou and aiku (if sae would even call them that, but you know deep inside he does acknowledge them)

"wait so how are you gonna drag sae to the living room?" you hear aiku ask you from the living room.

"easy. i'll just scream bloody murder and he'll come running in" you snort, earning a hefty laugh from shidou. to which aiku then slaps his hand over his loud ass mouth, careful not to ruin the whole big surprise.

the room turns quiet at the commotion. not a single person moving a muscle incase sae suddenly comes running in at the loud noise.

rin snaps his head towards shidou's direction and glares at him. aiku is barely containing his own laugh from the whole ordeal and shidou just looks like he was gonna pass out from the lack of air.

three beats of silence passed and it seems like sae wasn't woken up by shidou so that's clearly a good sign that everything is under control. sometimes you are thankful and grateful that sae was a heavy sleeper in times like this

you then look down at your watch to see that it was a minute til the clock strikes at twelve so you hurriedly looked for a lighter and it was show time.

"guys hide!" you hushed, closing the lights and making sure that everything was hidden in the dark before yelling at the top of your lungs.

"SAE! COME IN HERE HELP!" you yelled bloody murder as you hid behind the kitchen island, holding sae's cake in place and smoothly lighting the candle

you hear your bedroom door slam open and heavy footsteps running through the hard wood floors of your shared apartment.

"y/n?!" you hear sae call out, eyes frantically looking for your silhouette in the dark before he reaches over to the light switch to turn the lights on

sae's eyes adjust to the sudden bright lights and lo and behold, there you were standing before him, holding what seems to be his cake with his younger brother and his two idiotic teammates (or at this point, his own friends) behind you singing to him happy birthday.

"happy birthday to you~ happy birthday to you~ you look like a monkey and you smell like one too!" you all sang to sae who looked dumbfounded by the whole thing

"happy birthday dude!" both aiku and shidou rush over him to dap him up. aiku sliding his hands over sae's shoulders as he shows off all the decorations they did at the last minute.

"you see that killer decoration skills? yeah i did that. talk about talent, am i right shidou?"

shidou cackles once again, "i did it better than you"

"no you didn't"

"yes i did"

"get off of me" sae pushes the two idiots away from him. sae then makes eye contact with rin who gave him a curt smile.

"happy birthday, nii-san" rin mumbles, walking away from the living room into the kitchen. although he doesn't miss the small smile on sae's face as he leaves.

and there you were. in front of sae, holding out his cake that you made specifically for him with a widest smile on your face.

"happy birthday, sae" you smiled, tiptoeing to give him a little kiss on the cheek.

but sae being sae, moves his head right before your lips made contact with his cheek. making you kiss him on the lips. you feel sae smirk into the kiss as you both stayed still in that position for what seems to be a while.

"we get it you two are in love!" you hear shidou comment, making aiku burst out laughing. you pull away as you try to hide your blushing face from the birthday boy.

sae wraps his arm around you, "so you did this all for me?"

"well, obviously" you playfully rolled your eyes, leaning towards sae in content. totally satisfied with the outcome of your little surprise.

"thank you, y/n" you hear sae mutter quietly as he presses his lips on the top of your head, rubbing his arms on your sides as sae takes in all your effort to surprise him for the very first time.

sae smiles at the thought of that he could get used to this.

that is until he feels something sticky on the side of his face. he looks down to see you laughing with your finger covered in frosting.

it's be a long night for everyone involved.

happy birthday, sae!

CAN WE PLS PLS PLS GET A PT2 TO NEKO OF THE WEST OMG!!!!

mdni :p

ℕ𝕖𝕜𝕠 𝕠𝕗 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕨𝕖𝕤𝕥 𝕀𝕀.

When Ringo arrives back from the town, he finds Mizu curnsing under her breath and slashing trees in half.

"Master! What's the matter? And where is-" He looks around, rubbing his nibs together nervously.

"Oh, the stray cat is gone. But she left me with everything I need." Lies. She needed you too. "I'm gonna get going tomorrow." She sneers. She now has two goals. Slaying the white men, and showing you your place. You can't just leave like that after she has been so vulnerable with you! Ungrateful little bitch. Mizu is seething. She knows it probably ment nothing to you. It was just a slip up for Mizu too, she just got lost in the moment. It's just that she haven't felt human touch for years now, and you looked so pretty panting, and out of breath, looking at her in suuuch a cocky way with her blade to your throat... Oh, she'll show you.

She'll defeat you, have you at her feet, then beg her to spare you, crawling back to her lap, like a good little domestic kitten would. Yeah. Then she'll let you play with Fowler's head. She'll fucking show you.

She leaves Ringo at an inn, and she follows your instructions to find Fowler's castle. She gets through the tunnel, and starts slashing soldiers left and right. The traps are fucking cruel though and she ends up with a stick through her foot. She gets through everything, even drug monkeys, undead prisoners, and a whole ass giant. In the end though, she is met with...Taigen. Bloody, barely alive, tied to a chair in the middle of a room. She rushes to his side, hurrying to untie him. "Taigen-"

"Mizu..." Taigen croacks out, his eyes fluttering open. "N-no, run it's a-"

"Trap?" She hears a familiar voice from behind her as the door shuts. She turns around, her eyes meet yours in a glare. "Look who the cat dragged in!" You grin into her face. "Glad you could make it." You say, your eyes dripping with that fucking sly mischief.

"Wouldn't miss it." Mizu basically barks at you. "So you did come back to that dickhead? Pathetic." She says, holding up her makeshift sword she got from one of the soldiers.

You shrug, as you spin your gun on your finger. "Hey, what's home's home." You say and shoot her a shiteating grin.

"I pity you if this is home for you." Mizu says right back, glaring through your soul, as if you even have one.

"Ey, atleast I have one." You say, and quickly fire at her, the bullet shooting right next to her head, biting through a single strand of hair.

Mizu reacts quickly, attacking you withouth hesitation. You dodge, making her weaping slice through the wall. You turn, grabbing her wrist for a second, pushing her against the wall, and slamming her head against it. But the determined bitch she is, Mizu ignores the pain, and heabutts you in response. You two keep being at eachother's throats with Taigen barely not passing out in the chair, until Mizu overpowers you, and pins you down, with her sword at your throat.

"What a familiar situation." You grin at her, and she pushes her blade into your collarbone, drawing blood.

"Drop the fucking act already." Mizu barks into your face. "Just tell me which room he's in and I'll spare you."

You scoff. "Yeah, turns out, I kinda don't want you to kill him." You pout, as if it's a light thing. It makes Mizu's blood boil. "I kinda need him for like...a couple weeks more until he kills the shogun." You shrug. Lies, by the way. You don't give a fuck if when he dies, or if the shogun dies, you just don't want her to attemp to murder him.

Why? Simple. He'll kill her, you're sure.

"You don't have a choice." Mizu says, her eyes cold, but insides she's burning with rage. Was this all a damn game to you? Was she a joke? Was her moaning under you, moaning with you meant fucking nothing?

"Yeaaaah," Suddenly she feels the familiar cold of your gun, She turns her head, and see it pointed at Taigen's unmoving form. "I kinda do." You say, your eyes narrowing.

That's the moment Mizu realizes, she can't tame you. She can't make a house kitten out of you. You'll never stick by her side. Or anyone's for the matter. So...she'll need to keep you on a leash. She'll put so much catnip in your mouth you won't be able to bite, she'll cut your nails so you won't scratch, and she'll tear your whiskers out so you won't be able to run straight. Alone, that is. It'll hurt, but it will be worth it.

She then, with one small movement of her wrist, cuts through your shoulder, not deep enough to make you actually bleed out, but enough to make you weak. She gets off you, leaving you there, whimpering. "F-Fuckin' b-bitch...G-Go and d-die then! G-Go and fuckin'...die by his greasy hands...ugh!" You keep moaning in pain, depserately pushing your palm against your bleeding wound.

Mizu looks at you, wanting nothing more than to comfort you, but she knows that'll do her no good in the long run, so she just picks up Taigen, and leaves the room. She'll come back for you when you're unconcious if she's lucky.

It takes her a long while to get to and find Fowler's room all while carrying the deadweight of Taigen, but still, she does. After the fight, she does not have time to go back for you though, since she's fallen into the ice cold river along with that fat bastard.

Ringo rescues her and Taigen, bringing them back to master Eiji. The time she spends there while she recovers can only be described as a storm. She's mad. Her sword is broken, she didn't kill Fowler, and she left you there too. Ugh, what a failiure.

"So," Mizu lazily sits next to Taigen inside the little house, staring at the fire. "How did you...keep Akemi?" She mumbles under her nose, Taigen almost not even hearing it.

"Hm?" Taigen reaises an eyebrow. "Jealous?" He says with a smug smirk and Mizu groans loudly.

"Fuck no." She says, shooting him a glare and then rolling her eyes. "It's just seems...hard, to tie a woman down." She shrugs.

Everyone left Mizu when they had a chance, so this time, she won't take chances. She won't give you one. You left her once already, and to your own shit-luck, she wan't you to stay more that she realizes.

"You can't really tie a woman down, only with marriage." Taigen answers simply. "But before that, you have to convince her that you're worth it. That you can give her a good life."

"Well that's not really an option for me, is it?" Mizu groans. What a useless answer.

"Wait...you wanna catch a wife?" Taigen's eyes widen. "Oh, don't tell me, you already have someone you want? Oh, that's funny!" He snickers.

"You're fucking annoying. I don't even know why I was asking you." She grumbles, ready to stand up, but Taigen stops her. "Wait, no. Okay." Taigen steadies himself, putting on a straight face. "I'm sure if you keep your glasses on, and keep your mouth shut all the time, she'll like you." He finishes with that bitch-ass smirk.

Mizu just yanks her arm away and walks off, grumbling. Taigen is stupid. She'll show him too. She'll show everyone. She'll slay down Flower, then she'll walk away with you, crying for her in her arms. Great plan.

You even accidentaly told her that he's planning on killing the shogun, so she'll know where to go. You're already playing right into her hands. Yeah, maybe she's obsessing over you a little, and yeah, it's probably unhealthy, but do you really expect any healthy emotions from that woman? No, the answer should be no.

So, on the day when she meets Fowler again, she marches into the room he's in with the Shogun, but when she gets there, the Shogun and his family are already gone, and she's met with Fowler's gun to your forehead, yours to his heart with Heiji Shindo's body still fresh on the ground. She gasps out your name.

Fowler's head turns to her, and Mizu glares. "Hm? Ye two know eachother?" He asks casually, motioning between you two. "So that's why yer betraying me, eh? Foolish little girl." He scoffs.

You just roll your eyes. "I'm not betraying you, dumbass." You say, liglty poking his chest with your gun. "I'm simply dethroning you."

"And you wanted the help of this demon right 'ere?" He nods towards Mizu. "Is that why ya were gone for days? Ya were with the guy tryin' to kill me? Pffft!" He says with mock offense.

"No, he just happens to be here." The banter between you two is amusing to Mizu. You're talking to this piece of shit while holding eachother at gunpoint like you'd talk to an old friend after they stole your lunch.

"Hey, demon," Fowler says to Mizu, getting her attention. "Ya don' wanna team up with this girl right 'ere. See? She's betraying me too, she'd do the same to you."

"Oh, shut up." You roll your eyes. "First of all, I'm not teaming up with him. Second of all...can you butt out of my personal relationships?"

"She's not even from 'round here. Found her back in London." Fowler says casually, ligtly poking your head with his gun. "Is' true. Her parents are japanese though, they got captured during the war, but couldn't help but fuck like bunnies in their cell and make this lil' bitch."

"Ugh, that was unnecessary." You say, fireing a shot into the wall to silence him. "Next one's gonna be in your heart, shithead."

"Now now, let daddy handle stuff." He says with a chuckle.

"You're not my fucki-" but before you could protest any further, Fowler's other hand swings up, hitting you in the head, almost crushing your skull, making you lose conciousness.

The next time you wake up, the harsh sun invades your eyeballs, making you groan. When you finally manage to accommodate your inveroment, you look around. You're on a ship, which is definetly moving. You see a siluette in the sun, and as it notices that you're awake, it walks closer. It's Mizu. She looks different though. She looks a lot more...relaxed. She has her bangs down, and she's wearing a simple kimono. She looks...very feminine. And beautiful, if you do say so yourself. You understand why you lost control and slept with her that night.

"Hey," You squint at her. "Can I ask, if it's like, not too much...what the fuck is going on?" You sit up hazily.

"We're leaving. To London." She says casually, sitting down next to you. Your eyes snap wide opening, shining in the bright sun.

"Are fucking serious?" That's wha Mizu wanted to see. You lighting up, eating all of her words up.

"Yeah...Fowler's tied up down there, but he'll help me. He'll help me find the other white men." She says, looking ahead to the seemingly endless water.

"And you're taking me...with you. To London. I can finally leave." Your smile becomes bright, almost more blinding that the sun. It's the first truly genuine smile Mizu saw from you. And fuck, it does things to her.

"Mhm...you're not leaving my side after this." Mizu breathes out, leaning back on her hands, turning her attention to the cloud.

Your eyebrows knot together. "What? I'm not gonna stick around to watch your boring ass quest. I wanna find my own path."

"Yeah, no...you're not doing that. You're gonna stay by my side, and you're gonna love it." She says like it's a well known fact. And to her, it is. She's not letting you leave her, and wander off again. Not on her watch.

"What the fuck do you think I am? Your pet?" You scoff.

"You could be. But no, I'm being nice right now." She says with a small smile, still staying completely calm about the subject. "And when I'm done, you will come back to Japan with me. And then we'll live peacefully, and you'll help me forget about how much of a terrible person I am." Mizu shrugs, but you just rolls your eyes.

"As if. I'll tell you everyday that you're a shitty person." You can barely finish the sentence before Mizu gets on top of you with one swift motion, straddling your lap.

"Yeah? You're gonna tell me how much you hate me?" Mizu whispers, her breath hitting your face, but the only thing you can do right now is just stare at her, not even blinking. "What? Cat's got your tongue?" She teases you, running a finger along your lower lip.

You gulp. "What...are you even doing? What we had was just...a one time thing." You say, averting your gaze finally.

"You think that?" Mizu says as she harshly grabs your jaw, forcing you to look at her. "You must be confused then." She says, her voice now lower with more edge. "Because that day, whether you like it or not, you tied yourself down. You became mine. You can try to run though, but I'll find you eventually." She slowly leans down, breathing right against your lips. "Take your little fuckface of a man, Fowler for example. He couldn't hide, so why could you?"

You can't even respond as she firmly kisses you, pushing her tongue down your thoat, one hand gripping your jaw, the other harhsly undoing your clothes.

"F-fuck, Mizu, wait a second-" You try to croak out, but her hands are already all over you, and you love it. It's just...so damn sudden. And it feels different from last time. It's as if this time, her touches have more emotion. More want, more need.

"No. I waited enough." Mizu murmurs into the kiss, her hands kneading your breasts. The last time, you fought for and kinda even won dominance, but now you can't even try and enter the competition for some reason, and to Mizu's liking.

"Ugh...you're an asshole, you know that?" You back arches into her touch as you feel her start pinching your nipples. "I...I'm still mad at you though...for cutting my shoulder. That hurt...like a bitch." You mumble, feeling your whole body heat up under her touch.

Mizu can feel her head reeling. She finally done it. She has you under her fingertips again, and she won't let go ever again. And this time, you look different too. You look more vulnerable, your eyes narrowing and becoming hazy, you cheeks flushing as you lips part. You look vulnerable, and very fucking cute. The fact that she knows what you're capable of, and still managing to have you in this position is...enthralling. She loves it. If she'd feel this everyday, her soul would be at peace.

"Not my fault you only respond to violence." Mizu says, pulling away from your mouth to place her lips in your nipple, which you reward with a small moan, which makes all of Mizu's nerves dart to one place between her legs.

Her tounge swirls around your sensitive little bud, all while her hand sneeks between your thighs, feeling around your underwear, which is now slowly turning wet.

"You want more?" Mizu whispers as she switches to the other nipple. "Tell me you want more...say it. Use your pretty little voice, and ask me nicely."

"Fuck...fuck why are you like this?" You croak out, your thighs closing around her hand, letting out another moan as she starts rubbing you through the thin cloth. "O-Okay, fine fuck, I want more...p-please, just...do more." You say, covering your face with your arm in shame. "Mizu..."

And she fucking snaps. How could she hold back after that? She rips down your last remaining clothing, which happens to be your underwear, and her lips latch around your clit. Oh, it tastes so good. She didn't have the chance to taste it last time, what a shame. But knows she knows how your slick tastes, and it's honestly perfect. She makes sure her tongue hits every spot it can reach atleast once before she plunges her fingers deep inside you.

"Fuck...I missed you fucking much...come on, show me you missed me too. Grind on my lips and fingers." Mizu demands against your clit which you reward in a drawn out moan. You slowly obey, grinding weakly against her. "Take it...take all of me." She pushes knuckle deep. "Your pussy loves me...it fucking wants me. It's...fuck, it's sucking me in." Mizu slurs between slurps, getting lost in the moment and just mindlessly rambling. She loves this. She loves feeling you at two points on herself: her fingertips and her tongue. She wants you to moan louder, to squirm and beg more, to arch your back and grind harder...

"Gonna cum...f-fuck, I can't...slow the fuck down..." You whimper out,hands feeling around on the floor, looking for anything to grab for support, but meeting nothing but Mizu.

"Yeah? Cum then. Do it...doitdoitdoit, I want it, come on..." Mizu doesn't even notice that she begs, but she doesn't even fucking care. As she feels you spill your climax into her mouth, her mind flashes white, eagerly driking everything up. After you come down from your high and lay in the afterglow, Mizu stays in pleace, cleaning your innerthighs while softly humming.

"You did so good...you're so pretty when you cum. I wanna see it again." She murmurs, fingers trailing back to your folds, but you groan and push her away.

"F-Fuck off..." You say weakly, eyes slowly fluttering closed. Mizu smirks and climbs up to cuddle you, her arms thighly around you, and her legs keeping you in a lock.

"I love you." She says casually. "You'll stay with me forever, okay? I'll hunt you down if you don't. You're my sepcial girl...you'll see me succeed."

[somewhat-insane]

Okay, so, I know a lot of people were discouraged after the LMK S5 trailer. The art is different, yes, but remember there are still people working behind the screen; passionate about this story they're trying to tell. To rebuild faith and re-spark hope, I'm going through the trailer frame by frame and sharing anything cool I find. (There is some (what I hope is) constructive criticism in here, but I would like to reiterate something other fans have said. DO. NOT. HARRASS. ANYONE. WORKING. ON. THE. SHOW. They're doing their best with what they have available to them. We're lucky Wildbrain decided to pick the show back up because if they hadn't, we may not have gotten the rest of the story.)

They've been brought in front of the council to discuss their car's extended warranty. ALSO WHERE IS MK'S JACKET AND BANDANA? THEY WHOLE ASS PROBABLY SNATCHED THIS POOR BOY OUT OF HIS BED WHILE HE WAS SLEEPING

Don't worry, babygirl, I still think you're pretty ^3^

Okay, they gave him his clothes back, phew.

Hehe, tiny monkies.

At least our child is still adorable.

Synchronized heart attack.

He is so traumatized, lol. Someone brought up how this design for the circlet wasn't the previously established design in the show, but it COULD be based on the design used on the cover of the Journey to the West novel (as seen below)

It's not exactly the same but the shape is similar.

Anyway.

WUKONG ANGST WUKONG ANGST WUKONG ANGST

I'm realizing while doing this that Wildbrain doesn't use as many smear frames as Flying Bark did. As funny as it is to pause and see something like this in season 1-4:

It makes the animation look a LOT smoother and more energetic. Flying Bark also seems to use more frame-by-frame while Wildbrain probably uses more tweening. I suppose it makes sense though because Wildbrain is more used to 3D animation and the 2D animation they have done in the past is more paper-doll-like and doesn't need as much bounce and action.

Back to the trailer, no need to dwell.........

MO. HANG IN THERE.

MONKEY ANGST MONKEY ANGST MONKEY ANGST aposhdgpafoshdfosfapsdofpa

Oooh, wait, this frame actually kinda goes hard. I'm kinda hyped... I should draw this.

NO BRO DON'T MAKE ME CRY JUST BECAUSE OF A TRAILER

You know what this makes me think of...? Did any of you guys ever play that game called "Journey"?

It's a beautiful game with beautiful music. Y'all should play it if you haven't. Oh, and sometimes if you're playing at the same time as someone else in the world, your games will merge and you get a little play buddy :3

Genuinely love how distressed he is here.

SHADOWPEACH ANGST SHADOWPEACH ANGST

Looks like we're still gonna get cool backgrounds and background character designs!!!!

This looks like it may be some kind of storybook or memory sequence like when Chang'e was talking about how she found the ring in S3 or when LBD was talking about Macaque's death... what memory do you think we're going to be exploring this time?

This goes pretty hard. I would paint this on a wall or something.

Mk is flabbergasted.

Yay!! Mk has the support he needs. ALSO MORE SANDY

They're mortified. Probably because they just watched a giant dragon and white tiger fucking evaporate.

Hehe bord

I can't wait to see fanart of him. I'm so excited!

SHADOWPEACH SHADOWPEACH SHADOWPEACH

He's thinking about kissing him, honest.

I think he's purty

MORE PIGSY-

I've run out of room for pictures, but I hope this helped get y'all all hyped again for the new season! Have hope, stay strong!

[taiyouhimerich]

aaaalright? lets pretend it can be found as a nice text???? so its gonna be-

RE2!Leon Kennedy x fem!reader

NSFW ALPHABET HEADCANONS

18+, minors do not interact its not even interesting for you (*'▽'*)

A —— [aftercare]

Honestly? I see this Leon outside of this point. I mean, of course he loves you and all that, but when you finish, he gets so sleepy that his whole body literally refuses to move. He's usually caring, so he'll automatically ask if he can do anything for you, and if you ask him for something, he'll nod and promise to do it, but ask you for a break in a couple of minutes, and then... he'll probably pass out. Of course, if something extraordinary happened after your intimacy (for example, you want to write, but literally can't stand because of him), then he will do everything for your comfort, but this is more the exception than the rule. Don't be mad at him, he's so cute!

B —— [body part]

Leon at this age... is quite influenced by everything that surrounds him, including what his peers, colleagues talk about, what porn shows. He likes any part of your body, if he's even heard that this part can be attractive, like. Are his friends leading a debate between tits and assholes? You'll get his craving for these places from you. Did you see an excerpt from hip sex porn? In the coming days, he will feel your hips and thighs as if this is his favorite place. But I'm pretty sure he loves your cheeks very much. Just for no reason, he likes your round, rosy, soft cheeks.

C —— [cum]

Anywhere but inside! He's too young and obviously 100% sure he's not ready to be the father of an unplanned child, and not at all because he's afraid that you'll freak out if you find out that you're pregnant! He always has enough (a lot, actually) condoms with him so that he can afford safe sex. If he wants to try something like a pearl necklace, he will ask your permission, although if you ask him about it in the process, he will agree, even if it is inside.

D —— [dirty secret]

Sometimes he finds himself thinking that he wants to try to be bottom, like bottom from bottom. But he doesn't want a drop! It's just... like if you were told not to think about a white monkey, you'd probably be thinking about a white monkey, right? The same thing happens to him: he says to himself that he would never make such a blissful face from an artificial penis in his ass, and from this thought exactly such a picture is imprinted into his consciousness, and the more he tries to drive it away, the more annoying it turns in his head. However, although he sometimes finds such thoughts shamefully arousing, he would not want to actually try it. The thought of a foreign object in his ass... just ugh.

E —— [experience]

None. Where would he get it from? There's no one to gain experience with at the orphanage, and you won't really find anyone to date at the police academy in the men's dormitory either, so... you're his first. You were the one he gave his virginity to, and he doesn't regret it a bit. Although he would really like to try everything with you that he knows and what you know, the benefit of his sexual appetite allows him to do this. It's hard to say anything else here, because sexual experience is not Schrodinger's cat: it either exists or it doesn't.

F —— [favourite position]

I believe that he enjoys riding and missionary poses equally. He loves to see your face when his cock moves inside your bosom, and he likes these two poses for two reasons. When you're on top, it's enough for him to pay attention to how you move together, giving each other pleasure with rhythmic movements, he feels your unity as a whole, he likes to feel this connection between you. He would enjoy the way your fingers intertwine, forever, while your weight on his hips allows him to relax and enjoy you.... When you change and he's on top of you, he loves to make you roll your eyes, biting your neck, licking your collarbones, marking you as much as he can, while his hips seem to be trying to heat your ass white so that it melts and is permanently soldered to him. He presses you into the mattress harder because his hunger for you is unquenchable, and his love for you is boundless.

G —— [goofy]

It is difficult for him not to joke: it is generally difficult for him not to let some accidentally funny phrase stay inside his mouth during those processes when he should be more serious. For some reason, I can't think of phrases that he could say during sex with the intention of making it playful and that would not turn out to be funny later. Perhaps it's because of his inexperience and the uncertainty between the lines because of this in his words and actions, when he bends down to your ear and purrs something like: “This baby's pussy will drink its fill of thick milk today...” It's hard for you to hold back your laughter when you hear that, seriously! He slows down a little because of this, but it doesn't take much for him to understand what nonsense he said (he will blush with slight shame, but will try to continue so as not to give himself away). After he inserts his penis into you, there will not even be an idea left in his head about trying to be cheesy, no, now he is completely focused on the place where your bodies and souls merge into one.

H —— [hair]

He only shaves for you because he wants you to see him at his best. Be sure that before each of your dates, it will be almost smooth in many places: groin, armpits, chin and neck. At first, he will even shave off a trail of blond hair from his groin to his navel, but if you tell him that you like her, he will leave her alone. He has no requirements for you - he would not call it a requirement, rather a wish: No matter how exaggerated it sounds, there are just no bushes. He will not be confused by a small amount of hair on your body, you do not have to be smooth as a baby's ass in all places of your body, but at least just show your attention to his preferences in this way. Although he's obviously definitely going to be happy to see you completely shaved.

I —— [intimacy]

He is as romantic and intimate as his salary can allow him. Dates in roadside cafes, flowers plucked from a flower bed, postcards with his own hands — this is about him. He's not a stingy guy, you just know, for a rookie cop to allow himself frequent gifts even for his beloved is too much, and he would like to show his feelings for you as much as possible. He will definitely take you for a ride in his patrol car, buy beer and French fries before inviting you to come to him, forcing you to wait a little because he forgot to clean up the apartment, similar to the explosion of the bachelor, but on special occasions he will come to your house with flowers from the store, a bottle of wine, in something similar to a suit, just so that you feel this special thrill when he takes you in his arms, slowly but sensually kissing your neck, leaving a wet trail with his warm lips, which will have time to turn into a small bruise by the time you find yourself in your bedroom.

J —— [jerk off]

Every time you're not around, but he thinks about you. It's something spontaneous and probably related to an overabundance of hormones in his body.: again, it is clearly not possible to masturbate in an orphanage, but in a police academy… Well, other guys, grueling workouts and dumb exams definitely don't excite him, so it's only after graduation that he has the opportunity to devote himself to it. He masturbates like a teenager in puberty when he's sitting at home, missing you because you couldn't go on a date together when he has a lunch break at the department, and you called to chat with him when he's showering and accidentally runs over his penis more times. This is probably due to the fact that he has not yet thrown out all the hormones accumulated from his puberty, with age it will pass.

K —— [kink]

Mommy is a kink. It happens to him suddenly, he doesn't even care if you're older or younger than him, when you climb on top of him, a voice in his head will start yelling, squeaking and whining, begging him to call you mommy. If at some point he gives in, then you will have access to his heightened sense of shame, because even his shoulders will turn red with embarrassment. If you want to take advantage of this weakness of his, then you will bring him to tears, his voice will be squeaky, high-frequency moans will burst out of his chest with each of your movements on his penis, he will beg you to stop, actually wishing that he would stay in his happy place under you until you get tired.

L —— [location]

Fuck, it's either your place or his, there's no exact location. It happened a couple of times in the backseat of his patrol car, but after the police captain scolded him for a long patrol (he obviously guessed everything, but did not say so as not to embarrass the boy, and Leon even realized it), he decided not to experiment anymore, at least not in this car. Secretly or not really dreaming that one day you will come to the department to see him, for example, during a break or at the end of his shift, and then it will turn into a hot pastime.... Although, just not under threat of dismissal.

M —— [motivation]

Well... maybe he could sometimes think that since you agreed to accept him for the first time, then... you must like him very much? He gets turned on by the idea that you don't care what he's bad at or at least not very good at, he likes to think that you think he's perfect, that your loving eyes are completely sincere, because he loves you hopelessly much, believe me.

N —— [no]

Anal sex. No, no and no, okay? Neither way. I already mentioned this in point D, so even if it's with you, he doesn't even want to think about it — or rather, he wants to, but only in theory, the slightest thought of practice or its implementation makes him wince. Because the ass is made to poop, not for someone to stick their genitals in there!

O —— [oral]

He loves it when you give him a blowjob, and it doesn't matter to him whether it's deep or not, although he really likes it when you don't take him completely or choke, this to a certain extent increases his self-esteem for the reason from point X. He has heard that sometimes what goes into your mouth can come out of your nose, and sometimes he thinks about whether he will be able to see his sperm dripping from your nose. Cunnilingus turns out to be a little awkward and clumsy, because he clearly cannot calculate the correct amount of pressure with his tongue, sucking or teeth, but he sincerely tries. If you sit on his face, he becomes even more sloppy and inattentive, but over time he can learn. Oh, and he also can't find a comfortable position for his head and arm when he tries to combine his mouth and fingers.

P —— [pace]

Loves fast sex, trying to push into you as deep as possible. The idea that he's trying to use you as a flashlight comes up to both of you sometimes, but he's not rude or disrespectful to you, so is that... okay? But sometimes he likes it when you do it slowly, for example, when it's too late and you both want to sleep and make love at the same time. Don't let him fall asleep in such a relaxing rhythm, I beg you!

Q —— [quickie]

He does not disdain this and is not shy about it. This happens either when you are in a hurry somewhere, or when the place is not quite suitable for this: a toilet, a car, a secluded dark alley (but only if he had previously conducted a patrol in the area and made sure that there were no drug addicts or other dangerous cattle). It happens the same way every time: he puts his head on your shoulder, whining softly in your ear about how he loves you and wants you, gently kissing your neck, tickling you with his breath until you agree. In fast sex, you rarely get to cum, so he selfishly leaves you unsatisfied. Collect the debt from him later. Sit on it.

R —— [risk]

He'll try it once and promise that he won't do it again, but he will. He is sometimes like a curious kitten, and of course he wants to do all the things that you do when you are consumed with love for each other, even outside your bedroom, but he tries it every time with such naivety and innocence, as if he did not even have an idea about future punishment for such a misdemeanor. A couple of times you were almost caught in the toilet, people already know that you were having fun in a patrol car, to your shame, but sometimes he still can't help himself and sins. But despite all his fantasies, he will never try to have sex with you in the department.

S —— [stamina]

He is young, well-trained physically, full of energy and hormones, of course, he can withstand for a long time, perhaps four hours almost without a break (he will slow down for a little rest, but not stop), if you want to arrange a marathon, after that his body will give up completely. But even if his hormones try to make him fuck until he has no strength left, sperm or his penis starts to burn, you usually don't do it for so long, and it's mostly because of you. The fact is that in the time for one of your orgasms, he can cum twice, and if he does not tune in to continue, he will be attacked by drowsiness, but in this state he is not sure that he will last twice more. He is almost sure that four is his voluntary limit in a free environment, and he does not want to leave you unsatisfied if you do not have a time limit — he loves you too much.

T —— [toys]

Leon probably has a mixed opinion about this. Yes, of course, he wants to try everything, especially with you, and in a fit of excitement he will most likely want to use everything that his hand or imagination can reach. But when he thinks about it with a sober head ... most likely, he will be more against than for. He wants to know that he was the one who gave you pleasure, he wants to know that you're enjoying sex with him, really enjoying it. He's still a pretty insecure teenager inside, so he needs that feeling from you.

U —— [unfair]

Well... he's trying. It turns out every other time. Sometimes it's too funny, sometimes it's too perverse, sometimes it's too serious. He can't find a balance and make sure that his teasers turn you on, but he tries, sincerely tries to achieve the appropriate effect. And even though he never succeeds, his attempts are still very cute. And after that, you can be the one to tease him. In any case, the end is always the same: you will have sex without holding back for too long.

V —— [volume]

Not very loud because he's holding back. In his awareness, when a man moans in sex, it is something like an indicator of his weakness and pity, he likes to listen to your moans more, he does not want to prevent himself from hearing them clearly. And he is also a little shy, considering the sound of his voice at such moments strange. Of course, if you are on top, he will let go of himself, completely giving you control, but in normal times you will not get anything but guttural growls, puffing and sweet things addressed to you.

W —— [wild card]

“Fuck... you're so high, aren't you...?”

He should have seen this coming when he let you stay the night at his place. He should have thought that you'd be too lazy to wear anything but a T-shirt and panties when you wake up, and that you'd decide to make you two a quick breakfast. And what could be faster than eggs and bacon? You two haven't even moved away from the frying pan where the food is still frying, you're too close in the hot surface, but he can't think while your pussy sucks him inside.

His right hand rests on the countertop in front of you, his left presses on your stomach, pressing you closer to him and holding you in place so that your hips do not twitch dangerously close to the pan. He puffs into your hair, tracing your earlobe with his tongue and gently biting your lobe, and can't help but grin softly as he mumbles:

“Damn, you're so hot.... Just don't burn our breakfast, okay?”He moans through clenched lips, burying his forehead in your shoulder, and then laughs softly, muttering. “And of course don't get burned.”

Even if you fail and burn your eggs, be sure you will definitely get a portion of protein for breakfast.

X —— [x-ray]

Well, his physical training guarantees him pretty strong muscles, prominent, but not too much like those ham-like bodybuilders. And if he has no complaints about his body (you obviously don't either), then he's a little demanding about his penis. He was in the communal showers many times after training at the academy and of course often participated in "competitions whose penis is longer/thicker/better" or at least watched them. He was definitely in the first half of the ranking, but such events add up to any guy's certain perception of his penis, and he is no exception. Big enough for you to like, but not big enough for him to feel super confident, probably around 16-17? Uncut, maybe a little bent.

Y —— [yearning]

Very, very, sooooo high, almost breaking the acceptable scale. Again, as I said, he has too many hormones accumulated since adolescence, which his body wants to release as soon as possible, but he will never cross the line. It's not in the nature of this sweet boy.

Z —— [zzz]

He's passing out. As fast as the situation and you can allow him. Especially if you had several rounds at a time. In some cases, if it's lazy sex in the late afternoon, he may accidentally doze off in the process.

yeah shit thats are my pure thoughts idk but I like that ( ・∇・)

Little Thief

Spicynoodles Tangled AU chapter 5

Summary: MK teams up with the Horned Demon Twins, Yin and Jin, to steal the Lost Prince’s crown. Red Son goes through his typical daily routine, silently longing for something more.

Word count: 3.9k

Warnings: 🚫gaslighting, manipulation🚫

A/N: MK's finally here, yay 🎉 the plot has begun

I made a stupid ass ship chart for MK and Red Son in this AU

The lantern scene by @py-dreamer

Spicynoodles Tangled AU Masterpost

____________________________________________________________________________________________

MK adjusted his hood over his face, his shadow mask made it kinda unnecessary, but it was part of his whole look. Besides, it kept his ears hidden if, heavens forbid, his glamor failed him.

Speaking of his ears, the sensitive appendages flicked at the approaching pair of demons.

They had been heading his way for about an hour, sometimes it really annoyed him how long it took for people to enter the “normal” hearing range. What was the use of being able to hear people a mile away if they'd all kill you for it?

The foolish pair were finally close enough that it wouldn't be suspicious. He turned around with his arms crossed to face them.

“Took you long enough.” He muttered.

“Shut it, Monkie Kid, we’re the ones with the offer, we can show up whenever we want!” Jin hissed at him.

He rolled his eyes.

From what he'd heard, and he heard a lot of shit, the Horned Demon Twins were generally regarded as annoying to work with. He hoped they wouldn't be stupid enough to double cross him, they were certainly foolish enough to work with him, he had quite the reputation for a little light betrayal.

These guys had been around for centuries too, if they were foolish enough to get conned by him, well then they deserved it. 

“Who are we stealing from?” He asked with a yawn.

The brothers made a quick group huddle angled away from him, snickering to each other about some probably stupid joke. He glared at them until they turned back around.

Yin slammed a paper down on the tree stump between them with a cocky grin. MK rolled his eyes again, expecting it to be some silly little trinket that the pair decided needed to be theirs.

His eyes widened at the object sketched onto the paper.

“You want to steal the Lost Prince’s crown?!” He nearly shouted.

It was incredibly dangerous, idiotic, and sounded like a lot of fun.

“You crazy bastards, I'm in!” he exclaimed.

He flipped the paper over, examining the twins’ entry plan. 

“Told you he'd be on board.” Jin told his brother smugly.

His hidden ears flicked as the blue demon approached him. Jin threw his arm around his shoulder and pulled him into his side. MK cursed his height.

“Bet you're excited to go home.” Jin said, playfully shaking him.

MK glared at him, twisting free of the other demon's grip.

“It's not my home.” he hissed.

Jin gave him a confused look, MK groaned internally.

“But aren't you all from there?”

“No. Just cause I'm a monkey doesn't mean I came from there.” Mk growled.

He handed the paper back to Yin and walked away.

“I'm gonna think of a better plan and you two are making me dumber.” He told the pair.

He tuned out their offended sputtering after him.

He hated the assumption that he was from the Ironbull Kingdom. A lot of monkey demons lived there, but not all of them, Ironbull was just the only place with a somewhat decent population.

Of course those two would assume he came from there, as if any monkey demon with a brain would leave once they made it. 

He pulled out his staff from behind his ear and struck a rock to his side. It satisfyingly crumbled to dust.

Feeling calmer, he schooled his expression to his usual confident, laid back grin, he warped his mask to match, then returned to where the demon twins were waiting.

“Fixed your plan.” He told them.

“Fixed?! Our plan was brilliant!” Yin shouted.

“Yeah, brilliantly flawed.” he sneered.

“You are working off outdated schematics, after the Prince was taken, they upgraded their security, it's one of the most well guarded palaces in the world. You thought this was gonna cut it?” he snorted.

The brothers glared at him with mumbles but didn't argue.

“Now, I've got the perfect plan.” he said.

XXX

“Mei, stop making a mess.” Red Son scolded the little dragon.

Mei squeaked indignantly at him. The little green dragon was messing around with rice flour he had left on the counter. He plucked the dragon off the counter and onto the floor.

“Go clean yourself up.” He shooed her off with a light tap to the base of her tail.

She flopped dramatically onto the ground, writhing in agony like he'd actually kicked her.

He rolled his eyes and picked her up by her mane. Like magic, she went limp.

Red Son brought his sister to the bathroom for a quick wash off, flour got stuck to her mane and spread everywhere if he didn't. He kept a firm grip on Mei's mane to keep her from swimming around, she loved to swim in the bathing tub so much.

She probably does this on purpose so she can swim. He sighed. He quickly dried the little dragon off, he still needed to make breakfast and do his chores before Mother came home.

Mei wiggled out of his hands, darting out of the bathroom and towards the pantry before he could catch her.   

“Mei!” He shouted.

She stuck her bright blue tongue out at him, the action slowed her down enough for him to catch her. 

“Stop causing trouble. I'm trying to make breakfast.” He told the dragon.

“Is that little brat getting in the way?” Cōng asked.

Red Son jumped at the man's sudden appearance behind him. The ever present grin on his face widened.

“If you don't behave, I will put you on the top shelf.” Cōng promised.

Mei shrank away from him.

“Understand?” Cōng prompted, leaning in too close for Red Son’s liking.

He always got too close. Mei nodded. Cōng’s already wide grin grew, somehow, he patted the top of her head.

“Wonderful. Now get to your chores, both of you.” He ordered.

They both nodded, Red Son had to duck around the man to get back to the kitchen.

He was quick to get breakfast made, when that was done, he started the rest of his chores.

It was his typical daily routine: clean the kitchen, sweep the floors, ignore the persistent longing for more than life inside his tower, dust the furniture, make sure Mother's room was up to her standards, then make his and Mei's bed and tidy up his room and work room.

The small space had been added on to his room as a safe space for him to construct his various projects; his latest work, a stained glass lantern, sat on the table.

The lantern was ready for its first test.

He closed the curtain and covered the windows and skylights. He snapped his fingers, illuminating the room with the small dark magenta and red flame that danced above his fingertips.

Red Son sat at his work table, carefully lighting a match with his spark. The flame went from volatile reds and purples to a calmly flickering warm yellow. He lit the wick, Mei dropped down onto the table to watch the magic happen.

The flame slowly traveled up the wick, beams of light filled the room with a rainbow of colors. The scene he'd put onto the lantern was a bit self indulgent, it was him outside of his tower watching the floating lights that appeared over the mountains every year on his birthday.

Time for the test. He gave it a gentle spin.

The glass hair trailing down from the treetops looked like it was moving.

“It worked…” he gasped quietly.

The lantern slowed to a stop, the illusion of movement ended, returning to a still image.

He spun it again, resting his chin in his hand to watch the little glass version of himself enjoy the world he couldn't.

Though maybe… maybe, now that I'm older, Mother will let me go…

MK slipped along the shadows cast by the rising sun on the palace. While moving shadows were hardly uncommon in this kingdom, he was still playing it safe by staying deeper in the shadows. He was less likely to run into anyone else as well, though his people were far from early risers.

He made his way through the shadows to the throne room.

Neither the King nor the Queen were present at the moment, it was early in the morning. MK was sure if he extended his hearing enough he'd be able to hear the royal couple in their room, likely quietly mourning.

As much as he loathed to admit it, the one actually useful part of Yin and Jin’s was the timing.

The lost prince's birthday was tomorrow, Queen Iron Fan and Demon Bull King were known to withdraw from the court for the days around it.

It was like a holiday, the whole kingdom put on a festival for the lost prince in the hopes of leading him home, if the guy was somehow still alive after being stolen by a centuries old demonic witch of course.

MK peeked around the throne room, the only people present were the guards for the prince's crown.

The Crown Guard were some of the most trusted and well trained soldiers in the entire kingdom, personally trained by the Monkey King and the Third Prince of the West Sea, Ao Lie. Lucky bastards.

This was who the kingdom sent to help with emergencies when local authorities were overwhelmed, of course always leaving some of the guards behind to protect the capital.

There were three guards currently on duty.

Two monkey demons and a young snake demon. Thankfully, neither of the monkey demons were disguised LEMs.

I shouldn't underestimate them, but I think I can handle these guys. MK smirked to himself.

His ears picked up the sound of someone approaching the throne room, he tucked himself deep enough into the shadows that he couldn't easily be seen but he could still see what was happening clearly.

The doors were thrown open.

A monkey demon walked into the throne room, not just any monkey demon, but a Lotus Eared Macaque. Luckily, the demoness only had a single set of ears, like most of the LEMs alive today.

She was dressed in the traditional LEM clothing that made sneaking around the shadows easier, the looser clothes created a less defined silhouette. It was more common with LEMs who lived here, if they lived anywhere else they took whatever they could get. She wore a deep green cape over her shoulders, the back of her cape had the sigils of the Ironbull Kingdom and the Court of Flower Fruit Mountain embroidered onto it. And she had a red scarf wrapped around the lower half of her face.

Huh, someone important then. MK concluded.

“Yaling, there is an emergency. Měi Hóu Wáng has requested you bring Xiang with you, he's sent a clone to guide you to his current location.” the demoness ordered.

The snake demon darted off after giving the LEM a short nod of affirmation.

“I've already summoned Xinyi to take her place.” The LEM told the other two guards.

The pair of monkey demons nodded and returned to their guarding stance. The LEM began to head back to the door.

She stopped near where he was hiding, her cold blue ears flicked at some unknown sound, she snapped her head around towards him. He held his breath.

Vibrant blue eyes rimmed with dark lavender scanned the shadows intently. MK stayed perfectly still. He had no idea what could have given him away, he certainly hadn't made any noise just floating in the shadows.

“Do you hear something?” One of the guards asked.

MK silently retreated deeper into the shadows. The other demon's ear flicked a second after the sound of something heavy falling and shrill, childish laughter, reached his. She glanced away, one ear angled in the direction of the sound, one pinned on him.

She sighed heavily and turned to the guards.

“My apologies, I believe my siblings have gotten into something, even though they're supposed to be watching Baba.” she muttered the last bit.

The guards smiled knowingly.

“Well then, we won't hold you up, you have some little monkeys to catch.” one said.

“Xinyi will be here shortly.” The LEM nodded to each and took off.

He heard her shouting, he didn't bother to pay attention to the words, and delighted shrieks coming from another part of the palace a few seconds later.

Best get to the roof and let the twins in. MK thought.

He popped out of the shadows on the roof of the throne room after a quick check that no one was around, then he opened a portal for the twins.

The pair of demons had the decency to look surprised at the speed he got them in. Their plan would've taken two hours at least.

“Told you my plan was better.” He sneered.

“Yeah, yeah, whatever, Monkie Kid.” Yin rolled his eyes.

“So how do we get it, now?” Jin asked.

MK grinned.

“There's an alarm seal that's triggered when the crown is removed from its barrier, but it goes all the way up, we just need to drop down, grab the thing and we're free to go.” He said.

“And by we I mean me, you two will trigger the seal because of your species.” He added.

“Oh no! Nuh uh! Not happening!” Yin objected.

“Why?”

“Do you actually think we're dumb enough to just let you grab the crown and ditch us here to take the blame?” Yin challenged.

“Honestly, I did not think either of you were that smart to begin with.” MK admitted.

Jin drew his sword threateningly. MK put his hands up.

“Oh calm down.” He rolled his eyes.

He grabbed the rope the brothers had brought for their plan with his tail and tied it around his waist, then handed the other end to Jin. The horned demon glanced between him and the rope in confusion.

“I'm going to make a portal, and I need you to pull me out once I grab the crown.” he instructed.

“Psht, I knew that.” Jin grumbled.

MK rolled his eyes as he opened a portal above the crown. He put his head through first to make sure neither of the guards were looking in his direction, the two monkey demons were silently performing their duty. The snake demon's replacement hadn't arrived yet, it was now or never.

“Don’t drop me.” He said before dropping into the portal.

He descended into the throne room in near perfect silence, the sounds of the palace staff going about their day provided just enough ambient noise cover. The crown was within reach without anyone noticing the theft in progress.

It was so easy, he just picked the crown up off the pedestal it had rested on all these years. He stared down at the crown in his hands, it was beautiful.

Yeah, there was no way he was sharing this with those idiot twins.

He tugged on the rope with his tail, stashing the crown away into his satchel. The brothers started slowly pulling him back up, he heard footsteps coming towards the door.

Shit! That's the replacement guard! He started climbing up the rope.

The throne room’s doors opened, and he must have been making too much noise because before the new guard even came in, one of the other guards had looked up.

Fuck!

Without a word, the guard threw their spear at him, he swung out of it's path, propelling himself through his portal.

The alarm seal went off, his ears flattened against his skull at the unexpected assault on his senses.

“Nice going, Monkie kid!” Yin snarled.

“I got the crown, let's go!” He shouted.

He shoved the demon a shove off the roof of the palace, opening a new portal as far as he could manage it. Since Jin was still holding onto the rope still tied around his waist, he dragged the other demon through. The portal spat them out at the entrance of the main bridge, on the capital side.

Unfortunately, a pair of LEMs happened to be on guard duty here. Luminous, petal shaped ears were angled towards the palace, luckily these two also only had one set. There were four eared LEMs like him in the Ironbull Kingdom, he'd just been lucky to have not run into them, or gods forbid, the Six Eared Macaque himself, yet.

The pair of macaque demons glanced at each other briefly, then pointed their spears at him and the twins. MK grinned awkwardly before being abruptly yanked away by the twins sprinting down the bridge. He could already hear the Crown Guard in hot pursuit, he opened a portal to the end of the bridge that they all jumped through.

The getaway chase was on.

Now he just had to figure out how to get away from the twins with the crown.

“Red Son! Let down your hair!”

Red Son jumped into action at the sound of Mother’s voice outside. He tossed the end of his hair out the window and looped it around the hook then he started pulling Mother up into the tower.

“Welcome home, Mother.” He greeted her once she was safely in the tower.

Mother cupped his face.

“Thank you, my dear. I have no idea how you manage something like that nearly every day.” Mother told him.

“It's no problem at all.” He said.

Mother smiled down at him, squeezing his cheeks lightly. She let go and set her basket down, Cōng immediately picked it up and took it to the kitchen as Mother went to the mirror. Red Son followed her.

Mother often ended up a little dirty from travel, she always checked her appearance once she came home, she didn't like trekking filth into the tower they worked so hard to keep clean.

It wouldn't do to let anything foreign into the little world he occupied. His tower was only so big, if something, or heavens forbid, someone, got inside were only so many places he could hide in, and his hair was a direct path to him. His hair, his powers, the cause of so much pain for his family, he lost count of the amount of times he burned Mei or Mother by accident. He'd probably start a raging wildfire if he ever went outside of his carefully crafted to be fireproof tower-

“Red Son, are you listening?” Mother snapped her fingers.

“Sorry, Mother, I got lost in thought.” He apologized.

“What have I said about the mumbling?” Mother prompted.

He winced.

“I'm sorry, Mother. I was lost in thought.” He repeated.

“Much better.” Mother smiled.

“Now come along, it's time for lunch.” She told him.

Mother walked towards the kitchen, he found his gaze drawn towards the still open window, the blue sky, the valley his tower was in, the world that waited for him.

“Red Son.” Mother called.

He looked away from the window, following her into the kitchen. He avoided Mother's questioning gaze, he had tried so hard to ignore the feeling that had been slowly growing, the aching longing in his chest to see something new, to walk outside on his own two feet, but it just wouldn't leave him! Even after he tried to put the energy into the lantern, it only made him feel worse.

It has to be today. I have to ask today.

He, Mother and Mei had a pleasant lunch together, the entire time he was trying to act like he didn't have a question burning inside of him. From the looks Mei was giving him, he wasn't doing a very good job.

“What's on your mind, my child?” Mother finally asked him.

This is it!

“Mother, as you know, tomorrow is my birthday-”

“It is?” Mother raised an eyebrow.

He stared at her in disbelief, she cracked a small smile.

“I'm just teasing dear, you know I could never forget your birthday.” she said.

He winced at her not so subtle reference to what had transpired on his birthday so many years ago. He glanced at Mei, she gave him a helpful nudge to keep going.

“So… my birthday is tomorrow… and I was wondering… for my birthday… could we go see the floating lights… in person…” he mumbled out.

“You want… to leave?” Mother said aghast.

“I know what you've said before, but-”

“No.” Mother said coldly.

“I'm older now, Mother! I'm turning eighteen-”

“Eighteen is hardly an adult for a demon. You're just a child.” Mother objected.

“I can handle myself-”

“I said, no.”

“But Mother please-”

“No!” The temperature plummeted.

Red Son flinched away from his mother's anger, he had forgotten how cold the tower could get when she was upset.

“You have no idea just how dangerous the outside world is, demons and humans alike are dangerous, nasty creatures to deal with, it is a cruel world where the strong abuse the weak and use whatever they have at their disposal to do so.” Mother hissed.

“You have so much power, my child, they will be drawn to you, seeking to steal you away and use your power for their sleeves just like when you were a baby! You can't possibly fight them all off at once! I couldn't and she died because of it!”

Mother collapsed back into her chair, rubbing her temples to soothe the likely oncoming headache she would suffer. She always suffered migraines when her powers lost control. Red Son quietly cleaned up from lunch, Cōng quietly offered to lead Mother to her room, she refused.

It was a foolish idea in the first place. I would never make it out there. He told himself.

The little bit of the world he saw out his window wasn't representative of anything, with his mother's magic it was highly likely that nothing foreign was allowed to enter the valley. There was little chance of anyone stumbling into her domain that would allow him the chance to prove himself, maybe, he could ask again when he was older.

He made his way back Mother. Mei was cuddled on her lap, purring like a cat as Mother ran a hand through her back fur. He knelt beside Mother's chair.

“I'm sorry Mother, I didn't mean to upset you.” He said.

A thin, boney hand rested on his head, her touch was light, ready to pull away at any second.

“Don't ask to leave.” She said.

“Yes Mother.” He nodded.

Mother handed Mei off to him and rose from her chair.

“Now, I must go, I have to gather ingredients for dinner.” she said.

Mother often left after they had a disagreement so they could both calm down. She usually came back with a treat or surprise to help smooth things over.

“Of course, Mother.”

“You know how much I hate to leave you after a fight.” she sighed, cupping his face in her cool hands.

“I know.” He said.

Mother smiled, it didn't reach her eyes, and kissed his forehead.

“I'll be back soon.”

“I'll be here.”

Mother patted his hair.

“I love you, my flower.” she said warmly.

“I love you too.” He said.

“I love you most.”

Mother and Cōng collected what they needed to be safe on their travels, he lowered them to the ground, watching as they left the valley, and him, behind. He unhooked his hair from the hook, letting it flow in the cool breeze, he rested his head on his hands, staring out at the world he couldn't be a part of.

ARISE Q&A (pt3)

The boys enter the room, clad in their outfits from their show — which they hadn't gotten to change due to how minimal time they had left. Particularly because of Tae-gyu messing around with his members that led to several mishaps on stage. Even though it was merely a shoot, Woo Jin-chul didn't give it as an excuse since ARISE was scheduled to answer questions at 8pm sharp.

Luckily, there are stools, which will be easy for them to settle down. Tae-gyu, Jong-in, and Yoon-ho sit on the taller stools on the back while Jin-woo and Byung-gyu sit on the front.

[ Hello again, boys! I see you have just finished your concert in Busan. How was it? ]

BYH: Tae-gyu slapped my butt.

LTG: you held your hand on your back for a high-five! And you're wearing back gloves that were the same color as your damn pants. So how am I supposed to tell which one is a hand and your butt?!

MBG: wasn't that why you ran backstage to burrow Mr. Woo's hand sanitizer afterward?

LTG: I need to cleanse my hand from the germs.

BYH: how dare you assume I have germs in my butt?!

CJI: urgh, I can't take this. . .

SJW: Yoon-ho's ass is fatter than the rest of us here.

CJI: goddamnit we came here for a Q&A and not talk about someone's ass!

[ HAHAHAHAHA! Okay, here's the first question from a fan: Choi Jong-in, is your voice really that deep? ]

CJI: oh, well, I like to think that my voice has two types. I prefer to use my normal voice and not my deep one, which I am not fond of.

SJW: if it wasn't for your deep voice, our songs wouldn't be huge hits minutes if you didn't sing deeply.

MBG: you have to thank me for that. I encouraged you!

CJI: more like you put my life into a threatening situation just so I can agree on it.

MBG: you don't have to exaggerate it like that—

LTG: not gonna lie, your deep voice outshines Yoon-ho's, even his raps, sometimes.

CJI: exactly. But I don't think I outshine him since Yoon-ho is unique in his own way, so whatever his parts are, it's his only and no one can do it better than him.

All, except Yoon-ho: awwww!!!!!

MBG: uh, hyung? You haven't spoken anything yet.

BYH: hm? Oh. *clears throat* uhm, I guess I agree with Jong-in.

[ to all: do you guys have nicknames for each other? ]

BYH: HAHA! I usually call Byung-gyu "monkey".

MBG: bruh, that nickname doesn't make any sense.

BYH: you get excited like a monkey.

MBG: *rolls eyes* if that's the case, I call Yoon-ho "big guy". Because he is.

CJI: pfft, that's your nickname to him? I call him furball.

LTG: and kitty.

SJW: *snorts*

BYH: hey! People will know that!

LTG: too late now.

BYH: screw you, Goto Ryuji doppelganger.

LTG: how many times do I have to say I look nothing like him?!?!

BYH: wait until you hear Jin-woo and Byung-gyu's shared nickname for you.

MBG: 3. . 2. . 1—

MBG & SJW: Limmy!

LTG: . . .

[ to all: can any of you drive? ]

MBG: I drive a motorcycle. But not a car.

SJW: I drive a car.

BYH: same here, though I prefer to use my truck.

CJI: I got my license when I was nineteen, so there's that.

LTG: I too dri—

SJW: but you can't even park. It took you seven whole minutes to do so! Some of us even fell asleep.

LTG: at least I can drive.

[ to Min Byung-gyu: can you swear? ]

MBG: pfft, of course I can! What do you think I am? A teenager?

SJW: I don't even know who you are when you're playing a video game.

MBG: dude, I am not as "innocent" as you think I am. I'm an adult, so obviously, I am way far from being pure and that includes cursing whenever I want. Although, not technically always.

BYH: Byung-gyu turns into a different person the second he swears. It scared the frick out of me once.

LTG: this little man is proof that you can be both kind and a total menace simultaneously, ladies and gentlemen.

[ to all: what are your hidden talents? ]

BYH: I can crack apples with only one hand.

CJI, shrugging: I can write fast.

LTG: my hidden talent is that I can mimic the sound of birds. I used to do that when I was a kid after I saw a flock of birds in the balcony.

SJW: I scare people with just my presence.

BYH: how are we even supposed to know that you're there??

SJW: that's the thing.

MBG: hm, I say that my hidden talent is how I can do different spinning tricks with my pen. It helps with coming up with lyrics and brainstorming.

[ to Min Byung-gyu and Baek Yoon-ho: based on your song 'Friends', it seemed you two have been close for a very long time. If so, how long? ]

MBG: we went to the same school when I was young. I saw him eating alone in the bench, so I decided— why not keep him company? So, I went to his side and just started talking to him.

BYH: yeah, we had known each other for a long time, though we had to part ways since I had to move to Seoul. We hadn't kept in touch, but I remember him always, which was how I recognized Byung-gyu after hearing his name.

[ aw, that's so heartwarming! ]

MBG: yup. Yoon-ho is like the big brother I never had, so I'm always thankful to have met him again.

BYH: too bad we can't be gym buddies.

MBG: I will do anything but go to gym with you, hyung.

[ another question to Min Byung-gyu: can you tell us about your non-showbiz friend? The one who used to edit your videos before. ]

MBG: oh, Eun-seok? Well, sorry, no can do. I can't reveal anything about him as he prefers to stay out of spotlight. But here's a small one— we've been best friends since childhood. Yeah, I guess that's it otherwise he'll have my head if his DMs start filling up.

[ to all: who else are you friends with? ]

CJI: I'm friends with Lennart Niemann, who designs clothes for men in Germany. We managed to keep in touch during all these years and he sometimes sends me new clothes.

MBG: Park Hee-jin. I guess people have known that already, but eh, she's the only celebrity I'm friends with outside the band.

LTG: can I say Go Gun-hee? He invited me to have dinner with his wife two days ago.

SJW: what about Lee Min-sung?

LTG: disgusting.

BYH: hm, I don't think I'm friends with anyone else. Although, I'm in good terms with most people, but I don't necessarily consider them as my friends since I am not sure if they think the same.

SJW: well, believe it or not, I'm friends with Liu Zhigang, Thomas Andre, and Adam White.

All: . . .

BYH: you're friends with who now??

SJW: Liu Zhigang, Thomas Andre, and Adam White?

BYH: you're friends with Thomas Andre?!

LTG: since when?!

SJW: I have no idea. I was walking out of the convenience store when a car pulled over and Thomas rolled the window down to invite me for a meal.

MBG: and Adam White?

SJW: oh, Adam White had approached me when we had our concert in America. He's a good guy and praised me for the performance.

CJI: . . . Liu Zhigang?

SJW: I sent him a letter two months ago, congratulating him for the success of his movie. And I guess that's it. And I've always wanted to interact with him since I was a teenager.

LTG: pfft, fanboy.

[ to Lim Tae-gyu: are you sure you are not related to the famous Olympic coach, Goto Ryuji? ]

BYH: *snorts*

LTG: geez, if I'm related to him, I'd be disowned by now.

[ but you two seem to look alike! ]

LTG: that's ridiculous. Just because you look like someone, doesn't mean you have any kind of relation to them.

MBG: what if you two are related in your past lives?

LTG: I must've been the black sheep in his eyes then.

MBG: woah! Do you dislike him that much?

CJI: it was because of Goto Ryuji's post.

MBG: oh, the rotten cow one? Okay.

LTG: I have never been so insulted. . .

[ to all: do you prefer tea or coffee? ]

CJI: both. Coffee keeps me awake while tea is perfect when it's time for me to stay idle.

BYH: believe it or not, as much as I like the taste of coffee, I drink tea more. It brings health benefits.

SJW: always coffee.

MBG: coffee.

BYH: don't you always prefer soda?

MBG: Mr. Woo banned me a few weeks ago.

LTG: coffee! So knowing that, coffee is that one thing that frequently runs out for us.

SJW: usually, it's when someone who keeps pulling an all-nighter. *side-eyes Jong-in*

CJI: none taken.

[ to Sung Jin-woo: what makes you a "husband material"? ]

SJW: I'm a what

The rest: *snort*

BYH: that must be from one of your fangirls.

SJW: . . .

SJW: uh, I have no idea? I'll leave that to your imagination. Just not where I can see or hear it.

[ to all: can Woo Jin-chul dance? ]

LTG: not to be rude, but you're asking us that question?

BYH: from what we know, he could be dancing in the inside of his office or somewhere private.

Woo Jin-chul: I am not!!!!

BYH: oh would you look at that! Yoon-ho made our manager talk for the first time in the middle of our Q&A session.

LTG: woah, now he's blushing.

SJW: it's either true or he's so embarrassed for what he did.

CJI: let's leave our manager alone, guys.

[ to all: do you share the same product, like shampoos? ]

BYH: nah.

MBG: we'd never.

SJW: although, a certain someone kept using mine without permission.

MBG: don't look at me, I am not a big fan of the brands you use.

CJI: yours seem cheap, Jin-woo.

SJW: then who used my body wash when I just bought it??

LTG: sounds like a "you" problem. And for the record, wasn't you who used my toothpaste before?

SJW: mine ran out. So what do you think I should do? Go out with a bad breath until somebody points it out?

LTG: you still used it without informing me after.

BYH, CJI, & MBG: . . .

MBG: is it me or something is coming together here?

BYH: they'll figure it out soon.

[ to all: what's the worst rumor you have ever heard about yourself? ]

LTG: I "allegedly" bullied Lee Min-sung when we were studying in the same university. It's the other way around, actually.

BYH: that I once knocked someone out. I don't think I have that in myself to hurt other people, and if anything, I prefer to talk it out rather than going physical.

SJW: me dating different female celebrities. Several of which I had never communicated in my whole life. The recent one is Yoo Soo-hyun, Jin-ho's cousin, after we were spotted in the cafe. But in truth, we were just waiting for Jin-ho so we could hang out.

BYH: dating rumors are like your biggest problem in the industry, Sung.

SJW: exactly. And at some point, I came out as a player, which is totally not what I am.

BYH: well, you know how the media works.

CJI: for me, the worst rumor I got was how I made someone resign from the company. It's very ridiculous, as I would never have a power to do so, and if there are any concerns, I'd approach Mr. Woo or Mr. Go first.

MBG: maybe it's because of your attitude?

CJI: what's with my attitude? I'm very much kind. And I know each and every one of us has a role to fulfill. I would never see someone as useless or not good enough.

MBG: yep, some people like to judge you a lot. Anyways, I hate those rumors about how I lied about my age. I am not 20!

LTG: pfft. Don't forget the one where the headline said you made a fake I.D just to get into a bar.

MBG: it wasn't true!!

BYH: welp, it's not like you're gonna blame yourself for looking younger out of all of us.

SJW: and being shorter.

MBG: Jesus Christ.

[ to all: who sleeps late and who wakes up early? ]

BYH: definitely the latter. I need to hit the gym and do my daily rounds.

LTG: I'm neither. My sleep schedule depends on my mood.

BYH: these three, however, are different breeds.

LTG: they can sleep late and wake up early.

CJI: please, Jin-woo goes to sleep at 5AM sometimes. How's that?

SJW: you do your thing and I do mine. No stepping into someone's business here.

MBG: I second that.

LTG: we never question you and whatever you do in your man cave, Byung-gyu. Last time I was about to head to the bathroom, I heard you crying in your room.

MBG: I was watching a historical drama.

LTG: good thing I was too sleepy to be scared. It sounded like a ghost begging for justice.

MBG: hey!

The rest: *laughs*

[ okay, that's all the questions for now. You guys might want some rest. ]

CJI: good. These pants are becoming itchy.

LTG: and I need to pee.

BYH: I need to take a nap.

CJI: nobody wants to hear you snore loudly, kitty cat.

BYH: then cover your ears.

MBG: I'm hungry.

SJW: yep, guess this is it.

Overseer AU | Final Warnings

“It’s not my fault, Okay!” Parker’s voice was the usual insufferable whine as Quaritch topped up his own glass with water as the man continued over the screen to his superior about the sudden loss of the department head of the Avatar Program given the death of Dr Rene Harper a month ago which Dr Augustine had inherited as the next best candidate

Quaritch wasn’t against the program as a whole; the notion of humans living in alien bodies creeped him out a little but he hadn’t seem much use but gas bagging to the natives. Grace was annoying as fuck but… there were far more results gained made her more bearable. Unlike Selfridge, he could be patient….mostly. In two years’ time, they’d get Sully on Pandora; an ex-marine that presented a good opportunity to get to the blue monkeys to move with less bloodshed as possible quicker than Augustine had in the last thirty.

He could wait two more years.

Sully probably was their next best option given Augustine was… well otherwise dead to the service for the next foreseeable future. The lack of Augustine mostly would seed a gap between the RDA and the natives that he’d need Sully to finish soon enough as well. He could assume the school mess, not just the death of the Avatar certainly didn’t help; not that he overly cared what the natives thought.

It just made things harder.

Still, the effect of what could happen to the avatar driver was….surprising and unsettling. The fact there were many scientists documenting Augustine’s condition meant it was not only a new condition but also, unforeseen. He didn’t think anything could knock someone as hardass and annoying as Augustine on her ass. Here he had thought the avatar body was just an easy way to escape danger when in fact, they were Trojan horses to their own actions if something went wrong out there.

At least he could enjoy the peace and quiet for the next few years until either the new avatar wakes her up or until the coma breaks. Still, as head of security, he had to make sure it didn’t happen again. Avatar drivers would probably need more security.

He’d have to ask his soldiers why they targeted one of their own avatars than the perpetrators that had damaged their equipment; he was not looking forwards to those reports…. And they’d need the avatar’s body back for an autopsy soon enough to see what bullet had struck her no doubt. He’d get an avatar group to do that; the blue faces would be better received than human ones right now.

Parker swore as the line closed off and he slumped into his seat. “Ugh.”

“It’s probably a good thing Augustine’s in a coma. She’d probably personally smash your face in with that bow for what you did to her avatar.” Quaritch nodded to the decorative piece behind Selfridge’s desk that was hung up.

“Not you too,” Selfridge pulled a face. “Look, you know why our soldiers went to the school. It’s not like we started it. Those savages have no idea how hard it is to get our equipment here and functional. Burning it…. god, it makes things so much harder!”

Quaritch raised his eyebrow in little concern for the man’s problem. “You gonna authorize the new avatar for her?”

“I don’t know. It’s goddam expensive to make and it’s not like I can order one on the next resupply fully grown in time. Given the loss was… apparently our fault given the security footage clearly showed Augustine sticking out like a sore thumb when the shots were fired…it’s a free of charge avatar body if I let her have one.”

The note of disgust was not unmissed but the comment surprised Quaritch a little. Those bodies were 5 million for a successful avatar. Another one was a dent in their recourses and no doubt in Selfridge’s books as well; it was a huge loss of investment to lose one and make a new.

Again, Quaritch didn’t care.

“So, options are Augustine remains comatose for the next few years until the new avatar is ready, or you never give her an avatar and she remains comatose until….death and you have to find a new department head.” There was no way she could leave in a shuttle in her state. It was probably more humane to check her records on NDR or if she had a euthanasia consented in the event of an irreversible condition.

“Max Patel is filling her role for now. No new avatar scientists or drivers for another two years. Either way, I’m waiting a few years that I don’t have. We need those blue bodies to work and get the ingenious to trust us.”

Clearly, Parker didn’t see the same flaw in the plan that he did with that. But he needed the program to keep going as well, so Quaritch didn’t argue against him, just took a steady sip of his drink.

“Authorise the body and give better care for Augustine while she’s in a coma.” Quaritch spoke, “It’ll look good on you like you care, the new body will show that it wasn’t purposeful and was simply an accident. Last thing you want is a bad rumor going around the base. It’ll damage morale and it’ll make you look like you don’t know what you’re fucking doing.”

“They were your soldiers. I didn’t shoot her.”

“I know. I’ll give a nice, warm talking to when I get out of here.” Quaritch spoke, “But it all reflects on you, at the end of the day, not just me” He added, “You might as well have had that gun in your hands after all.”

“Okay, fine. She’ll get the blue body. Go discipline whoever did it and just…leave me alone. I have so much more work to do now.”

 -

 “Aw, it’s so small.”

Dr Kim Greene couldn’t help herself at the coo she gave as the xenobioengineers finished with the final setup of the incubating tank where inside, the fetus of Grace’s new avatar was growing inside a makeshift organic transparent sac within the tank for better monitoring of it until it outgrew the membrane sack and absorbed it.; after that, it’d grow into the rest of the tank. The artificial umbilical cord was long but the sac helped keep it centered in the tank and not pulled when the avatar fetus moved.

The heart was beating now and rapidly through the near translucent blue skin that show the developing ribs, the fingers and toes flexed ever so often though the nubs of the tail was easy to see just as much as the na’vi queue at the base of its neck; it’s tendrils already growing out. The eyeballs were sealed behind skin though, like a human fetus, it was dark (but would lighten to yellow as the eyes developed) so relatively easy to see through the skin

“Look, tiny fingers and toes!” Kim cooed again, “Oh, I forgot how fascinating these things were.”

“You have an avatar as well, Dr Greene.” Dr Patel pointed out with a warm, amused smile.

“I only saw it when it was smaller than this and then when it was fully grown. I didn’t get to see the near entirety of its development.” Kim spoke fondly, her hands touching the glass. “Speaking of my Avatar, I need to go. Quaritch wants me and a few others to go to the school for a sweep for Grace’s dead avatar before animals eat it.”

Max sighed deeply, “You do realize the Na’vi probably buried it. It’s been a day since the attack.”

“No harm in checking. I may be in combat but I’m still a field medic.” Kim gave him a soft look though she hoped they’d bring something back for the logs. They really needed to know the cause of death. As a driver herself, she knew she didn’t want to wind up as a vegetable if her avatar died. She had almost lost her avatar once due to sickness and she had no intention of letting that happen again.

She bid a farewell to Dr Patel first then to the fetus then headed off for her assignment.

Kim pulled Dr Madaki and Dr Masterson with her for this mission, xenozoologist and a research doctor should look harmless if they come across any pissed off natives. Given the RDA had killed a few children; she didn’t expect less but she knew she had to tread a fine line with navigating with them to get what was left of the dead avatar. The school was the first place they needed to be.

Getting linked up, Kim met the two at the Samson as they were loading up.

“Side arms? Really?” Masterson was less than impressed as she handed him a holster. “Isn’t a weapon gonna trigger them into attacking us?”

“A precaution for all avatar drivers.” Kim sighed, “Quaritch’s orders.”

“The Na’vi will be bows out before we reach for them!”

“Then don’t be stupid.” Kim spoke, “we all know what’ll happen if we die in these bodies so be sensible. The guns aren’t for the natives.” The wildlife was another story; that couldn’t be reasoned with. “So don’t freak out if you see one; they can be reasoned with. Shooting at them while we’re out there puts us in the same boat of Dr Augustine.”

“Why did you have to pick us?” Madaki huffed, tightening the holder around his slim waist, making sure his tail wasn’t caught up.

“The Na’vi have seen you before. You both worked with Dr Augustine and visited the school at some point. They should know your face far better than mine. ”

“Ugh, sound logic.” Masterson groaned, “I hate that.”

Kim laughed softly, double-checking they had an avatar body bag and tools before loading into the jet.

 -

The trip was not overly long, though Kim ordered the guard to remain with the pilot while they went ahead toward the wooden school building.

The air smelt…almost normal for Pandora but there was a lingering hint of AMP fuel. Na’vi arrows were embedded into a few near trees which felt like a warning though her steps paused at the sight of the school itself.

It was designed with lightly thatched walls of wooden beams, reclining blind windows to allow air in and out, and the roof was thatched with dried grass. A combination of humans and Na’vi work to make it but now… bullet holes seemed to have struck straight through the woven walls, even the door which was barely a door, was broken down.

Getting closer, Kim realized now that blood now adorned the wooden surface of the frame and floor but there was enough that clearly splatted inwards.

“Take….take scans of the building. We need to document this. Augustine’s going to want to know when she wakes up.” She ordered. Kim carefully stepped around the blood stains, though inside, it wasn’t any better; bullets had clearly rained through the other side as well; one window was missing it’s entire blind so it was likely this was the escape for the children and Dr Augustine. She stepped over another blood stain, probably from someone caught by a stray bullet, carefully looking through the damaged window.

Outside, there were clear indentation marks of impacts on the grad underneath. Curiously, Kim went back out than jump out and knelt close to the markings though her eyes roamed the foliage around; blooded wooden shards did little comfort and—

Kim paused as she noticed the familiar lanyard string. From her waist bag, she pulled on a set of gloves and a clear bag before pulling on the string. To her surprise, the lanyard wasn’t whole, it had a clear bullet hole running through its bottom right corner with blood staining the plastic.

Augustine’s lanyard wasn’t just a lanyard; it was her security card inside the plastic pocket that allowed her access to doors, second to that, there was a memory chip from her work as well she had for her assignments. Good thing the natives didn’t know what it was, even if it was damaged.

Dr Masterson continued collecting the 3D scans of the area, taking scans of the window and the ground markings though as Kim started to follow, towards the treeline, the sight of an arrow tip pointing directly as she pulled her mind away from the path, her hands rose up to a surrender.

“Guy, hands away from weapons.” She called back.

“Kim, what—oh.”

Kim stepped back further, her tail swishing anxiously though it was a single warrior woman, her face was serious and the grip on her bow was not relaxed; ready to fire.

“We’re not here to cause harm.” Her Na’vi was not perfect but she didn’t learn it to be perfect; just enough to carry a conversation…or beg for her life. “We’re here documenting the senseless attack to for accountability of the RDA’s crimes and to collect the body of Dr Grace Augustine.”

The woman was not alone, four other warriors seemed to step out from the treeline.

“you are not welcome here.”

“We’re not here to impose, we need to collect our dead for our cultural burials,” Kim spoke again. “We don’t seek to cause harm.” She repeated, “I offer my deepest and sincere condolences to anyone hurt and killed in this attack.”

“We should kill them.” Another warrior spoke. “The risks… we cannot take it. Not again.”

“Yu’gal, send word to the Olo'eyktan of Dreamwalkers at the school.”

One warrior nodded, and she disappeared off. Kim didn’t risk breaking her stare at the arrow to see where she went. With an arrow this size, it’d do a lot of damage. A neurotoxin wasn’t as harmful to Na’vi or the avatars; it’d certainly suck for sure if they were nicked a little with it but with where that was aimed; it’d kill her for sure.

Still, it had to be a quicker death than what Augustin had if she made it deeper into Omatikaya territory under her own steam.

Kim took the hint to move, her colleagues doing the same until they were huddled together. They waited perhaps ten minutes— though Kim lied through a check-in that everything was alright—before anyone else came to them.

She recognized the tall, decorative frame of the Omatikaya’s Olo'eyktan quickly as he rode upon the back of the Direhorses, a strong bow in hand but thankfully, nothing notched. Kim was more surprised to see the Tsahìk as well.

This was not a good sign if both of them were here.

Eytukan jumped from his Direhorse with practised ease, his head held strong and eyes unforgiving. Broadcasting strength and weight of leadership that… make Selfridge look like a toddler eating glitter glue and Quaritch like a juvenile with fake tats and piped up on his own conference. In a heartbeat, she felt well and truly intimated by his presence. Her ears lowered back, not meeting his hash gaze.

A flurry of new warriors also seemed to line the trees as well; running would see the deaths of their avatars. She had to hope she could talk this out.

“What are you called, Dreamwalker?” Eytukan’s hard words were spoken in English.

“Doctor Kimberly Greene. My colleagues are Doctors Zane Madaki and Doctor Ryder Masterson. I’m a medic while the other two are research scientists of plants and animals.” Kim spoke, glad for once her voice didn’t waver, “We’ve been sent to collect Dr Augustine’s body and to collect evidence of the attack that occurred here.” To cover their basis of why they were here again.

The Tsahìk moved this time, her eyes narrow and careful. “What happened to Graceaugustine’s sky person’s body at her death?”

That was a very specific question, referring to the avatar no doubt.

“She…went into a state of shock and had a grand mal seizure in her link bed. From what I was told, she experienced a cardiac arrest event whilst in treatment.” It was probably why Augustine was still on life-support but she doubted they’d understand that aspect so, Kim didn’t mention it.

The Tsahìk’s head tilted, though seemed to nod with some sort of agreement. “I see.” She straightened up with an edge of discontent. “Her body was returned to the ground in a sacred place so you will not be taking her body. Her…belonging she had upon her, we will return.”

Kim spared a look to Madaki though returned her gaze to the Tsahìk as she collected something from a large pouch looped around the direhorse’s behind.

From it, familiar shorts were neatly folded and bound with twine, and it was clearly the rest of Dr Augustine’s personal belongings. Kim opened her arms and accepted them but the Tsahìk’s hand lingered on top for a moment longer before she pulled away the headband with some reservation from the pile and nearly kept it; neatly coiling it in her palm and tucking it away out of sight.

Kim opted not to argue with that. Maybe the Tsahìk and Dr Augustine had been friends; another personal loss for her as well

Though it seemed Eytukan even gave her a lingering look but chose now was not the time for a discussion about it.

“You will go now. Know this, five children were killed by your people’s hands. My eldest daughter included. Any Dreamwalker or sky person found wandering unaccompanied and damaging our jungle will be met with a swift and sudden death.” Eytukan spoke, “Your kind is too dangerous.”

  -

“Sa'nok, come help!” Grace’s head turned from her work with a warm smile as Neytep held out a series of beads and woven twine out to her.

Her form shifted from human to her avatar with ease as she abandoned her work to sit down beside the young girl as she set the beads back into the little dish at the foot of the Hometree roots.

“What are we making today?” Grace was no expert in weaving or… crafts but clearly, the girl was excited to show her.

“Well, a loin cloth! See these seeds are dried out. My sister used to make mine and now, I want to show you how to make it! Weaving is a very important skill, Sa'nok ”

“Well, I’m sure whatever you’ll make will be beautiful but… as a sky person, loin cloths aren’t something I wear.” She pulled lightly on her cream outer shirt. Neytep eyed it, her fingers coming to touch along it then began to fiddle with the beads that hung down in her hair.

“You could try it? Don’t you always ask us to try something before we decide not to like it?”

Grace couldn’t help the soft laugh, of course, the little one would use her own logic against her. Still, she could humor the child.

“I suppose so.”

“Maybe next we can talk about song cords..”

Grace’s head turned to see Sylwanin crouched on the end of the Hometree spiral. In her hands, she hands a cord of beads and knotted twine, her fingers touching over them with reverence.

“I suppose. We have all the time in the world, after all.” Grace figured; no one was disturbing them and the children were happy. She was fine with that.

So my post about my frustration over people being uneducated about zoos when I just wanted to watch videos about gorillas got me some lovely anons, and I decided to make this a post so I can answer them all together in one complete post rather than numerous asks.

Obviously these are all anons cause no one nowadays can put their face to their opinions like a grown up but whatever, the point is anon, you are conflating your own personal views with reality around zoos.

I didn’t know Calgary Zoo, turns out it’s in Canada and I’m in the UK, so I researched it thinking that there might have been controversy or it’s not a good zoo similar to some backyard zoos here in the UK. No, the only controversy I could find was someone accidentily leaving a knife in the Westland Gorilla enclosure.

In 2009.

Here’s a picture I found of the snow leopard enclosure.

Anon, this looks reasonably sized. Not only that, but I’ve seen plenty of ledges, trees, and places for enrichment so that the snow leopards don’t get bored. Plus, plenty of room so the two that I’ve seen living there can run and play with each other. This looks like a bog standard enclosure. 

Now for the spaces to hide, the size of a small living room is perfectly normal. You know why? Because that’s where they sleep. That’s where they go to relax and get away from the people, which zoos implement so that the animals aren’t constantly watched and have somewhere to feel safe and secure. That’s like crying that your bedroom isn’t the size of your whole house. That’s not what it’s there for. 

Because good zoos ultimately work to giving the best living conditions that they can to their animals. 

Also, shitty coolers? So you’re complaining about the leopards being given something to cool down, why do you think it’s shitty? Zoos often give common household things to their animals that we would also see, like boxes, coolers, ice lollies, anything that can be enriching, because that’s all you need. The leopards aren’t gonna care.

As for the shaving thing, you don’t shave snow leopards the same way you don’t shave your double coated dog. This just shows your ignorance, because you know WHY you typically don’t shave the animals? Because their coat helps in thermoregulation, because shaving their coat actually fucks it up and risks the animal actually getting sunburnt.

Can you really? Tell me, what’s the behavioural signs of stress in leopards? What’s the signs of them falling ill, or struggling with heat stroke like you’re suggesting?

Because humans who don’t go into zoology and animal behaviour are notorious for misreading animal behaviours. Prime example? Monkeys.

This cat is dead omg. Oh wait, it’s just relaxing. 

I agree. Fuck unethical zoos, which is what I was saying, but you’re conflating unethical zoos with all zoos, which isn’t the case. This is not the 19th century, zoos are no longer tiny prison cells with animals in for people to gawk at. 

But this last ask shows that you’re not interested in animal welfare or advoacting for higher standards so we avoid backytard zoos, you’re only interested in flaunting your anti humanity boner and acting like we’re scum, when this kind of extinctintion thinking is very fucking racist. Because before colonisation and industrialisation, many native groups lived with the nature around them. 

Because we needed it to thrive so we could thrive, and we understood how to live in it. Humanity isn’t an evil thing, we are capable of very beautiful things and we should be working towards building a life where we can work with nature. Get over your edgy mindset, you’re a grown ass person ffs.

And yes, I have seen zoos that haven’t done what they should’ve, and animals suffering because of it. But that’s why we advocate for stricter standards, and support the zoos that are doing it right, that are putting in so much effort for conservation and education. Because without those zoos, plenty of species would be dead. They would be dead.

Keep that in mind. Hate unethical zoos, fight for higher standards, support the zoos that are doing it right. Educate yourself and get out of my inbox, you ignorant tool.

Fem Humanoid King Kong Y/N Part 2?

Wukongs Brothers. Sisters, friends, and enemies meet King Kong Y/N?

Lol how would they react to this strong, giant, female King Kong, AKA Queen of The Apes

Like Wukong just brings his brothers, sisters, friends, and enemies to an island and their waiting for her, when a GIANT TALL ASS KONG appears and they are all freaking out except for Wukong who just yells out "WIFEEEEEEEE 😍🥰" and just transforms into a the same size as her and hugs her. Everyone is happy for him or is traumatised. (Tho I can see the adoptive children of the Wukongs like her).

Thanks!~ ❤️

(LMK Wukong) He was pulling Mk and the gang to an island 🏝 place. He was so excited that he's actively chirping in joy. MK, Macaque and the others were confused and suspicious of him.

Mk: Umm Monkey king where are we going??

Wukong: we going to skull island 🏝😊

The others were confused and slightly scared

Tang: Um why???

Wukong: well duh to meet my wife

Everybody jaws dropped hearing the news. Wukong was married and he never heard shared the news with them. Then again he has many other secrets but this one, is something they didn't expect him to hide.

Just like how they didn't expect his wife to be a giant gorilla and for her to be THE LEGENDARY QUEEN KONG!!!!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩

Mk and Mei were Fangirling and Fanboying all over the place, Redson looked pale as he called his parents Wondering if they knew about this, Tang was speechless, Sandy waved a you as a greeting, and Macaque....Uh he looks like died all over to again.

Pigsy: (Sigh) Why does this make so much sense???😒😤🤦‍♂️

(Mk Reborn Wukong) The monk was curious about where he sneaks off to when he's on his free time. Sandy was to scared to ask and Pigsy thought it was something shady. So he went to quietly follow Wukong and Fruity one day and what he found shocked the hell put of him.

Pigsy: Master I found what the monkey was hiding!!!!😱

Master Tang: Oh and what is it🤨

Pigsy: um well you It might wanna come and see for yourself.Because you're not gonna believe me if I told you😧

The monk was confused but not deterred, because the next day the pilgrims secretly followed Wukong and Fruity. To their usual spot and behold Wukong had wondered back to the same giant gorilla women that saved them a year ago and the most shocking part.

Wukong showering you with affection and care while fruity flew around your head calling you mama.

So the monk fainted, sandy was pale as snow, and pigsy bit into a tree branch seething in jealousy😵😱🤬

(NR Wukong) Li and Su were at a standstill as they looked at a Tall giant gorilla that sat behind Wukong.

Wukong: Li, Su I want you to meet my wifey (Y/n L/N) or well Yn Ln Wukong now🥰

Li's jaw dropped as his brains were buffering trying to wrap his head around the whole situation. While Su was dumbfounded by who she saw.😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵😵😵

Su: Wukong....... YOUR MARRIED TO QUEEN KONG??!?!?!?!?😲😲😲😱😱😱

Wukong nodded as he cuddled into your giant arm. Meanwhile your wondering why Wukong didn't tell you that he had grown children🤔

(HIB Wukong) The kids immediately loved you already, in fact silly girl was dying to see you again and loves you so much. Wukong was blushing harshly when Silly girl would cry mama for hours because she missed you awfully. Luier loves you too, you seem to be more patient with him and would listen to him talk endlessly as Silly girl would climb on your back like she did the first time. Yes Wukong didn't need to be worried about the kids because they love you as much as you love them. Meanwhile pigsy was scared sh*tless because you snared at him for flirting with you to much.

(Netflix Wukong) Lin and Dragon king were pulled to skull island by Wukong as a surprise was waiting for them.

Lin: Seriously where are we going??

Dragon king: Yeah what are you trying to show us??

Wukong: Lin, dragon king I want you guys to meet my wife.

Both: wait what???

So Wukong chirps into the forest and waits. Then suddenly, the ground shook as you made your way to your husband. Lin and Dragon King soon saw a giant female gorilla. Wukong got excited and grew into his kaiju form and hugged you tightly. The second Dragon king saw who it was he fainted.

Dragon king:(scared) Queen......Kong😰😨😱😵

Meanwhile Lin sat on your hand as she looked at you in Astonishment.

FEEL FREE TO REBLOG 🦍

[popculturebuffet]

Before we get to Disney, I'm gonna make a little detour with Total Drama. Since you talked about Island 2007 and Action in the late 2000s Cartoon Network shows ask, may as well try for the other seasons (not including the two reboot seasons since you haven't seen them yet). Who is your favorite character from each of these later seasons/spin offs: World Tour, Revenge of the Island, All Stars, Pahkitew Island, Ridonculous Race, and DramaRama? And as a bonus, I'll also throw in 6teen as well since it shared a lot of staff with Total Drama and it's implied to be in the same universe as Total Drama (plus Jude being a main character on DramaRama, with Nikki getting a cameo and mention in one episode of that show as well).

Oh i've seen most of the first reboot season just not the second yet (I'm waiting till we get a us airdate. I might still binge it , but I want to have it synch up with the us airdate to put it on my best of list. ) So it's included. Also big thanks for including 6teen 6teen: Used to be jude but I think it might be Jonesy.. while he coudl be an ass, he was an entertaining ass who had a lot of style and his realtionship with Nikki was just.. pure greatness. The best. The show itself is great and one I need to watch again, a nice slice of life that uses the mall setting well. Honestly wouldn't mind a revivial just maybe update it to a more modern outdoor mall or have the mall not doing great. It also had a stand in for christopher walken so that's always good. A funny, fun down to earth slice of life show.

Stoked: Dont' really have a faviorite character but since you included 6teen why not. I never quite vibed on this one. I have friends who did and I like the CONCPET, teens working at a fancy resort ala that one arc of saved by the bell.. but the cast felt mostly like copies of the 6teen cast just transplanted to a surf setting. The oppistes attract couple, the chill as hell guy, the sporty girl, the heriess forced to work.... it felt like a weak rehash and that they could've done way better.

World Tour: Noah and Tyler. I was going to say noah with tyler as a tie but.. fuck it they both get the gold as World Tour took two fan faviorites who had a good moment or two in island, but not much else : Noah left very early and tyler was primarily there to cause tension between heather and lindsay that never really payed off as while Island is still excellent it does have a habit of setting up things that never go anwhere (See the whole idea of a tribal council type thing during brunch of disgustingness.

Noah was great, getting to be sarcastic surrounded by mostly idiots, and getting a fun odd couple friendship with Owen. Action hadn't been exactly kind to owen, having him stay around way too long only to come back for boring subplot that didn't really pay off, only serving to get best boy harold eliminated when Duncan and Harold made the most sense for the final two. So instead we got Owen being stupid, and Noah reacting to it while still being supportive of his pal, a perfect foil for Tyler's dumbassery and dj's weird runner, and overall a character who should've stuck around a bit longer.

Tyler meanwhile was just adorable. The running gag with lindsay was great, but also got a truly heartwarming payoff, while his tendencies to fall on his face got nicely exagerated making him nature's perfect butt monkey.

As for world tour itself it's a decent season and one of the franchises best... but is a bit overhyped in hindsight. The first half DOES live up to said hype: a good cast, the series best antagonist, Heather in a fresh roll stuck on a team that dosen't want her while combatting a villian she has both great chemistry with and who is running circles around everyone. It has some stupidity like Leshawnas and Bridget's cheating on their partners, but it largely works. The second half, while having a great finish and some good songs.. is a step down. The gwen and duncan and courtney drama drags on WAY too long and elemnates gwen for so reason as with Blanely getting added post merge, we didn't need three antagonists and without the gwen friendship she was firmly back in that roll. Cody dosen't really get any devleopment despite the clear room for it, Sierra is one of the worst contestants in the shows history and her one gag is awful, and that gets only worse as the show goes on and there's less people to protect cody from harassment. It's still a solid season, the songs are great and even the second half has some good jokes, but it's one that looses steam as it goes. It's still one of total drama's best, a solid fourth place for me and third beofre the reboot aired... but it's still a tad weak like action, if still an improvment over it.

Revenge of the Island: Is excellent. It's not perfect, a cast member or two dosen't work (looking at you sam and ann maria), the depection of DID with mike is messy as all hell (though I still LIKE mike DID should not be a throaway joke or quirk) and the Ezikel thing continues to be dumb.. but it's flaws.. don't overshadow a great season. It's challenges may be forgetable, but it's cast is fantastic, with Scott being an easy second faviorite antagaonist as his team killing strategy is unique and fun, standouts like Dawn, Cameron, Brick and B, and easily the best final challenge in the shows history: brains vs brawn. Faviorite is Cameron. He's shy, hilarious and his friendship with mike works REALLY well: the two have great chemistry and trying to help mike with his mpd is a nice subplot and one of the few times it's not used to have WACKY CHARACTERS ABOUT YUK YUK. He also gets good character developments, going from a shy scared guy mostly carried by having good friends or working with one of the main villians out of necisity, to a truly self reliant young man who wins the million (In the verison I watched and frankly my canon) and earns his victory.

All Stars: Scott again, whose turned into a down bad butt monkey and it works: he can't team kill again, there are better villians who outclass him, so having him be a comedy asshole not only gives him the buckets of karma he deserved from Revenge, but also makes him oddly adorable and I wish they hadn't half heartedly broken him and courtney up. They worked. The season itself.. is the series worst so far. and of the franchise. I may not like Pahketew or Dramarama and have some issues with action and world tour... but their at least.. watchable. All Stars is a series of bullshit elimeinations, recycled jokes, plots that make no sense, sinking duncan and gwen which while not a ship I liked is taken to stupid lengths here, and a one note villian. Not to mention the finale which while having easily my faviorite total drama line ever

Wastes a good obstacle course on possibly murdering old contestants and the bullshit RESET BUTTON. Just.. the reset button. So much stupidity, not enough fucks to give to go into why pressing a button to cure mental illness is fucking embarssing. I do like Gwen and Cameron's relationship, it's somehow the most healthy she's ever had which I admit is both bogus and sad, but it's really sweet and that cheek kiss is adorable. Pahktew Island: Is boring. It has a few great contestants in Shawn, Ella, Amy and Samey... and not much else. Most of the cast is kinda boring, the sky and dave thing can eat my entire ass in a bad way, the challenges are forgetable and sugar just fucking sucks, taking the problems with ann maria and sam of just being a giant refrence and compounding it by also being the main villian and thus far more prominent. All Stars is far worse.. but I have more to talk about. I forgot Pahkitew soon after it aired and have no real desire to go back for a refresher.

Ridonclous Race: Ridonclus Race is , putting it with the others, my third faviorite season. I didn't think to include it when I was talking about world tour earlier but since it didn't get a second season (though I hope it does get revivied one of these days) and functions similar writing wise, I lump it in these days. Race was a MUCH needed breath of fresh air after the awful production season before it, and if brought back ever has a nice way to bring back old contestants now their all older thanks to the time skip. My faviorite character is hard as the goths are great, Noah and Own once against slap... but I give it to Kitty and Emma, the two have a great dynamic, kitty being adorable and fun to follow and Emma being driven, and their later hooking up with Noah and Owen not only provides great chemistry (Emma and Noah are adorable as hell and Kitty and OWen could work once she's you know, legal), but one of the seasons best subplots. Overlal the show is just solid: While the best friends and daters suck, their pretty much the only long standing teams that are a pain to watch: everyone else works, the shakeups in both a new format of reality to parody and a new host whose not a monster, tons of great arcs and jokes. This season is an easy faviorite of mine and the series third best.

Dramarama: Jude. including him is weird as fuck but i'll take it. The show itself.. I saw a few episodes, coudln't get into it and while it's readily avaliable on max I have no intention too. Why they coudln't be in elementary school, which would provide a bigger cast and most of the same stories is beyond me. Or just have a continuity reboot with everyone from all three generations at the same high school and also the 6teen cast is there why not. This ones more annoyign for the wasted potential of a fresh total drama continuity with whoever they wanted to pick and choose from the series massive cast> it's not as bad as all stars but ceases to make me give a fuck either.

Reboot season 1: God this is good. Faviorite is the hockey players, though a lot of the cast is good (I also like damien, scary girl, and bowie), my love of letterkenny means I can't.. not love these guys as they have a LOT of riley and jonesy energy, but without their accidental jackassery> Their just purehearted jocks with suprising strategic game, and Raj and Bowie's romance is great, as is Wayne hoping Raj will tell him soon so he can ship them openly. THeir just the best. The season itself is my second faviorite, though RR i still closely behind it. The new cast is almost all bangers and even ripper, who annoys the fuck out of me, is at least entertaining as his jackassery goes SO over the top sometimes it's funny. Chase is the only one I really TRULY hate, being an abusive asshat who won't shut the fuck up and adds nothing comedicaly, which says something. The cast is just great filled with good ideas, great chemistry and some all time standouts.

The challenges are also a step up as I hadn't realized till this season that aside from RR (That had the beneift of both going global again like world tour and the amazing race format).. the challenges were just forgetable. Revenge had maybe three that stuck out. In contrast all the challenges for the reboot are pretty good. Id idn't care for the farting episode with real life dinosaurs or the puking challenge, but I can at least give that one points for chef's cooking show style intros that while gross were hilarous, and the rainbow vomit.

It's a solid season, lots of fun to watch and a sign that even if season 2 hits some rough waters the show can still go and the time off for spinoff babies may of been good. It gave the show time to refocus, think of new ideas, and update it for the modern era and it's payed off wonderfully.
