#my parents arent super into gaming but they do enjoy watching me and asking about it

[dreamgirledward]

12, 14 and 16 for the movie asks

hi!! thank u :))

12: Which movie has your favorite soundtrack?

ooohhh SUPER hard to answer but probably a tie between lotr and the holiday (i am a hoe for nancy meyers) :')

14: Who is your favorite director? Why?

to probably no one's surprise, taika waititi (sofia coppola is a close second!!!). i think i realized he was becoming my favourite when i saw wwdits in theatres back in high school. a couple years after that, boy was screening at the tiff lightbox (tiff screens theatrical releases but also will have more themed or event-based screenings of all kinds of films) and i was feeling kinda lost at that point in my life - this was before i made the change to study film, i was in university but was kinda freaking out about my future because of how unhappy i was. anyway, i knew i loved wwdits and didnt think id have a chance to see boy in theatres before since it came out years prior - id seen boy at that point but never on a big screen, i mean - so i got a ticket on a whim and i just remember crying my eyes out the whole way home (which was a mortifying hour long subway ride 💀). then hunt for the wilderpeople came out a year after that and the rest was history lol. he's described his films as stories that focus on people on the fringes, people who are different, but there's always a family dynamic to be found no matter what it may look like for these 'outsiders', which has always drawn me to his storytelling technique, but there's also the added element of playful whimsy that provides so much comfort even when the story itself can get quite dark or sobering (a perfect example of this would also be jojo rabbit). i tend to like stories with that kind of balance, and i think he excels in that regard. he was also an artist before he ever considered filmmaking, an aspect i can (kind of) share as I used to want to be an artist when i was a kid. i used to paint and draw constantly but stopped a long time ago. aside from all the typical stuff about him everyone knows, i do admire filmmakers/editors that share a similar characteristic, which is that if they could choose, they choose to work with and support people they care about (within their own community, their friends, etc) and that's how i hope to continue to be as I build on my career. he's been very transparent about taking jobs that pay the bills (re: marvel) but repeatedly chooses to work with old friends and be drawn to more indie projects that reflect his roots, which i respect as someone who wants to make my passion projects a reality, but on the side as I work towards a more stable career.

16. How do you feel about people talking during movies being watched at home?

it depends! if it's something someone hasnt seen, im always gonna be shushing other people (or THEM) to pay attention. i personally hate having to pause and explain things for someone when they arent taking the opportunity to actually listen but will ask a bunch of questions anyway. my parents are especially bad with this 🥲 so im used to getting frustrated and having to pause and explain. it's even worse if you're the one showing someone a movie that you love and they're talking throughout because you want them to enjoy it properly :') but if it's a movie we've all seen, i dont really care about talking throughout lmao

movie questions ask game!

My wholesome pokemon story is that when I was 5 I had a gameboy. The 1st pokemon game ever played was leaf green and me being a dumb 5 year old I couldn't play it very well. So I did when any 5 year old did I went to my mom and I asked her to help me play the game. I would ask her every day how she was doing in it and I helped her name the pokemon that she had on the team and and it really helped us bond. To this day I wish that I have a working gameboy and could find a copy of leave green just to give to the gift to her so that we could spend that time playing again.

Gosh that is so wholesome,,, nothing makes me happier than a family that games together ;;v;;

So Glad

kirishima eijirou x pregnant!reader

warnings: cussing, alcohol, pregnancy, bakusquad

word count: 1,654

a/n: AHAHA i hope yall arent tired of me writing a pregnancy scenario for everyone, because have another one. also the one in which we stan the softest boy in class 1-a, kirishima eijirou as a new dad :,) ENJOY ANON

You were thirty-four weeks pregnant.

So it was safe to say you were ready at any moment to tap out to what felt like a demon sucking the soul out of you from within, that was currently sucker-punching your lungs.

Being pregnant was something you didn’t necessarily enjoy, yes you were excited for the baby girl you would be having, but you hated how pregnancies were just the worst. Pregnant women were such liars sometimes.

Kirishima, your ever so loving and doting husband, was honestly the only reason you hadn’t flipped out at this point. The past eight months he had been by your side, providing for every single weird request you had, every craving, and every massage. It went as far as the two of your realizing that his quirk was actually incredible for massaging, weirdly enough.

“Eijirou, I swear, I will kick your ass if you don’t go out right now!” You threaten as you clutch your stomach, the contractions were hitting you on insane pain levels, but they were still too spaced out to mean anything. “I’ll be okay!”

Kirishima looks at you, his face clouded with worry and unwillingness to go out with the self-proclaimed “Baku-squad,” a name that Bakugou hated.

“Yeah, Kiri, y/n isn’t gonna have the damn baby on the one day you let loose!” Mina cheered as she places a warm hand on your shoulder, “Besides it’s just for a few hours of drinking!!”

“We’re getting wasted,” Sero informs you, and you can’t help but laugh, Kirishima needed to let loose and this may as well be the last time he had the opportunity.

“Well, Kaminari was pre-gaming in our bathroom, so I figured that was your plan.” You tease laughing at the blonde who another ashamed chug of his flask.

“It’s important to pre-game…” Kaminari mumbles as he doesn’t reach anyone’s gaze.

“Hurry up and decide already, Kirishima,” Bakugou sighs his eyes rolling as he seemed to be the second most ready to ditch this night, but you knew better about your husbands best friend. Bakugou enjoyed these outings.

“Go!” You shove Kirishima, waddling him to the door as everyone cheered alongside you. Kirishima needed to let loose tonight, and the Baku-squad was the way he was going to get it.

“Okay but if you need anything, or want me home, let me know!” Kirishima yells over his shoulder as Kaminari and Sero have him by the arms, and you nod your head in agreement. “Let me kiss my wife, guys!”

You can’t help but roll your eyes as Kirishima comes back, his hands on your swollen belly as he places a gentle kiss on your lips. Tender and sweet and not ready to let go. “Come on lover boy! The honeymoon phase was supposed to have ended three years ago!” Kaminari joked as Kirishima continued placing soft sweet pecks on your lips until he was now forcibly removed from your lips.

“It’s not over because I treat her right!” Kirishima claps back, but the wink and a large smile on his face make everyone laugh as you eventually close the door.

You smiled to yourself as you were home alone, and waddle back to the bedroom to watch some horror movie, they were weirdly super funny to you while pregnant. So there you sat an hour later, watching The Ring when you find yourself peeing yourself, no not pee but—

“Oh fuck, my water.”

You could feel the contractions now truly hitting you between the approved time intervals and you resisted a cry of pain as you called your husband, to which was put immediately on voicemail. You sighed, those guys truly didn’t waste any time getting wasted.

“Hi, baby, I know you’ll answer this soon, but I’m heading to the hospital! Our baby’s coming soon!” You chirped despite the heavy pain in your voice.

⋆✭⋆✭⋆⋆✭⋆✭⋆

Kirishima was drunk. It was only truly thirty minutes into the night and he was plastered. These past eight months he hadn’t been going out during bar nights because he had been so busy with you, and it seemed during that time everyone else’s tolerance shot go drastically while his lowered significantly.

Kirishima was intoxicated to the point that he has no idea where his phone was just in case you called, spoiler alert, it was in his left pocket jean instead of the right.

“Guys!” Kirishima slurred as he put a cheek onto Bakugou’s shoulder, “I’m so happy to become a dad! Bakugou will be its best friend, and all you guys will be like the fun uncles!”

Mina was howling over the fact her childhood friend thought she was going to be a fun uncle, “I’m going to spoiler that baby so much, you’re going to have to keep her from wanting me to adopt her.” Mina says with a cunning smile on her face as she takes another shot.

“The baby’s gonna find you fucking terrifying on first glance, raccoon eyes.” Bakugou rolled his eyes as he took a drink from his beer, “As Ei, said, I’m going to be the BEST FRIEND!”

Okay, so maybe Bakugou’s tolerance was still shit. But the comment at the very least caused Sero and Kaminari to howl with laughter as the pounded the table in an attempt to ease their laughter as Bakugou yelled at them.

“Hold on!” Sero cackles, “Y/n is calling me? Y’ello?”

Kirishima’s concentration is on Sero, why would his beautiful wife be calling Sero? Maybe he taped the door shut as a prank like that one time in high school. But Sero’s face was quickly drained from color, his nods serious, and it was by far the most nervous Sero had ever appeared. What was y/n saying? Kirishima wondered.

“So, uh,” Sero mumbles after the phone call ended. “Y/n is at the hospital, and she’s nearly ready to give birth.”

Silence.

“OH MY GOD, WE HAVE TO FUCKING GO!” Kirishima roars at a Bakugou level as he stumbles off the chair running towards the wrong exit.

“I told you we should’ve gone yesterday!” Mina hisses at Sero as Bakugou and Kaminari race off to capture the redhead.

“How was I supposed to know she was gonna come too early? Isn’t Todoroki’s wife past her due date?!”

“Baka, everyone’s different!”

⋆✭⋆✭⋆⋆✭⋆✭⋆

You were quite literally crying, the pain was disgustingly overwhelming as you sat on the hospital bed. It wasn’t like you were resisting the baby’s arrival, because as much as you wanted Kirishima here, you weren’t too sure if you could just lay there.

“How are you feeling, Kirishima-sama?” Your doctor asks, a mask on his face as gloves are administered to his hands.

“So b-bad!” You cry as sweat flushes through your body, why did this hurt so much.

“WE’RE HERE!” A voice screams and you watch in slight horror as your beloved five idiots walk into the delivery room. All of them in scrubs, and all holding up Kirishima who was bawling.

“I’m so sorry love!” Kirishima says as he puts a kiss against your sweaty forehead. “I didn’t mean to miss your call! I am drunk!”

Your eyes soften the slightest amount before they’re clamped in pain. “It’s okay baby, I KNOW THAT—OH MY GOD!” You shriek as the doctor nods.

“Okay, Kirishima-sama I’m going to need you to start pushing. You’ll do it five times for ten seconds each, okay?”

“WHY DO I NEED TO PUSH!” Kirishima panics stupidly his eyes widened as you grab your idiot husbands hand, “Y/n should be—“

“He’s talking about me, my love.” You pant in pain as your grip against his hands starts hardening significantly.

“Oh! Ow, your grip is like my quirk right now!”

“Push!”

And Kirishima can only watch in the tiniest drunken gaze as you begin screaming, your face flushed, death grip on his hand, body quivering. He watches as the hospital scene around him slows drastically, his wife is biting her lip to keep from cussing, nurses running in slow motion, and his friends shaking slowly in excitement.

“Y/n I… I think—“

“The head is out!”

“I… I think imma…”

“You’re almost there!”

“I… I…”

A soft cry is resonating into Kirishima’s head, it’s a newborn cry, and a small baby girl with y/h/c is lifted slightly from behind the medical wraps. It’s all too much for Kirishima as he promptly faints, a smile on his face.

⋆✭⋆✭⋆⋆✭⋆✭⋆

When Kirishima comes through, he panics. “Y/n!” He calls out, his eyes searching as he sees his wife sitting on the bed across from his, she looks tired and worn, and entirely beautiful.

“Glad to see you’re awake,” You whisper teasing your husband as you show off the sleeping bundle in your arms. “Come say hello.”

Kirishima feels like every step he takes towards the bed is like he’s traveling through cement until he comes and peers at his daughters face. “Oh… fuck.” Kirishima can only say as you gently move to hand the sleeping baby girl into his arms.

“Say hello to your manly papa,” You mumble to the baby as tears fall down Kirishima’s face.

“Hi, Hinata-chan.” Kirishima sniffs at his baby girl, tears shamelessly falling down his face and he comes to meet your own ready eyes, and the next thing he knows his lips are on yours as he thanks you softly. Over and over.

“Thank you, I love you so much.”

bonus!

“I want to see her first!” Mina whispers shrieks as she manages to get into the room first after Kirishima walked over to the waiting room to let them know the baby was ready to meet them.

“Oh Kiri, she’s so adorable!” Mina cooes as she stares at the baby in the cradle.

“We have a question for all of you,” You confess as Kirishima comes to sit on the bed with you, an arm over your shoulder as he presses a kiss to your temple. “Would you all become Hinata-chan’s godparents? We know it’s four of you, and you’re not obligated to!”

“Yes!”

“Fuck yeah!”

“Yeah!!”

“Of course!”

Tears fall both Kirishima parents as they smile at their friends their hangs gripped together, “We’re so glad.”

RP Hooks ––– –

Music Fans - He runs a small but successful punk rock music label. If you’re into rock, punk, or even just a music fan, you’ve probably heard of Blacksong Records or even one of his bands. You may even know his face from music magazines; he’s often in the background at concerts or industry parties. Feel free to mention it!

Pirates & Sailors - He used to run a very successful and well known salvage company (Atlas Treasure Salvage, or ATS). They were well known in the Booty Bay, Bilgewater, and Orgrimmar ports. It’s possible you saw him around “in the old days”.

Drugs - He’s well connected among drug dealers as both a buyer and seller. Got a big party you want to sell to? He’s your in. Or maybe you’re looking for pure quality and tired of thugs selling you stems in the Drag? He’ll get you the good stuff if you’re willing to pay top coin.

Motorcycles - He’s a frequent shopper at gear head garages around Quel’Thalas. He also stops off at biker taverns for a pint on the way home from work. You may have seen him. Or maybe you just notice the brand of his jacket or boots are a familiar favourite amongst aficionados. 

Gossip Rags - Is your character SUPER into Silvermoon tabloids? Iloam is “reportedly” dating one of the hottest couples of the SMC Elite crowd, Baron & Baroness Aelberyn & Jericho Bloodsword. Paps frequently snap them slipping into vine covered cafes and exclusive night clubs. Your character may have a theory on the whole ‘are they or arent they’ debate that keeps socialites guessing on the trio’s relationships status.

OOC Info  ––– –

Mun is 21+ in age. Dark themes/ERP friendly.

I have been playing WoW since the beta for Vanilla and gone through many phases of enjoying PvE aspect (including a raiding guild), but at this point I only play for RP and have no interest in game play. I prefer Discord text RP for 1:1 or small group scenes. I generally only login to game for RP events or by request.

For text RP, I am very bad about forum style/casual post RP and will generally lose track of it quickly. I also try to stray from forum style post on Tumblr for the same reason. The best way to RP with me to set a date/time to both login to Discord or game and set aside several hours to write out a scene together.

I’m a very fast typer and tend to do multi-para for scene sets only, and then fall into a more natural rhythm as the scene plays out. I do not ask that partners match my post length.

Communication is very important to me. OOC discussion of dark themes or comfort level with ERP will be discussed first. I am happy to FTB or avoid topics that are triggering. I also ask that my partners always feel comfortable letting me know if for any reason big or small, they need to cancel a scene or are not feeling up to it. Real life will always come first.

if you've read season of storms is it any good? i read a sample and was kind of bored but i don't want to spend money on it if it's going to be like,,,,,,,,,lady of the lake

reading this i was like “wait lady of the lake was good though,” then i paused to actually think about it as a cohesive narrative for a bit, and went “actually wait never mind :/...” it was good thematically, and there were a lot of great scenes, but like as a whole book... if you could only read that book on its own... it would be very long and confusing. i just think lotl’s good because i do the uncivilized thing of skipping around to the parts i like and then i don’t read the parts i dislike

but luckily i have already ranted about season of storms before, and i’ll post that rant here now. for context, i actually read season of storms from cover to cover... yeah.

overall, it's a disorganized and aimless plot. it's set inbetween tlw and sod, so there's no quest to find ciri, because geralt hasnt met ciri yet, he's still our free bachelor geralt. which means hes still quite directionless and when it comes to his personal life it's mostly preoccupied with romance. but more importantly it means the plot is incredibly aimless and NOT PERSONAL to geralt, like all the stories in TLW and SOD and all the saga books revolve around events and people super meaningful to him. what happens in the plot is a whole JUMBLE of things that feel like sidequests from the witcher games, not a story from the witcher books. nothing really means anything for geralt's character development, and it suffers from being so long because there's like a lot of different settings and characters and everything just seems completely thrown together, mashed up, and not coordinated. 

i will admit that baptism of fire & tower of the swallow followed a style of “random encounters” in which geralt and the company traverse on and just interact with whatever they happen to find, but it felt like they were accruing knowledge (and also. members of the company) as they travelled on. in season of storms, it feels like geralt starts over and the entire book resets itself every time there is a new scene. none of the plotlines fit together, so it is just a super confusing and exhausting reading experience, unlike in bof & tos, where you can follow the action quite easily and it’s very pleasant to read because it’s all one continuous storyline.

in addition, all of these mashed up stories are pointless, because they dont END with the reader learning anything about the universe the characters live in or their relationships with each other. we might learn that sorcerers are power-hungry, but we already knew that. we might learn that people are violent and corrupt, but we already knew that. we might learn that geralt loves yennefer, but we already knew that. in the short stories, you learn so much about the world and geralts relationships (for example: we learn so much about the situations surrounding the elves in edge of the world, so it’s worth reading because otherwise you will not understand anything when the scoia’tael show up in blood of elves and later in the saga). and in the saga, this continues and more worldbuilding/relationship building occurs (geralt and ciri’s relationship grows from a question of price and then becomes crazy right around baptism of fire when they’re super linked by destiny). it really doesnt in season of storms. you don’t learn anything meaningful about the world or the characters like in the other witcher books.

another large flaw is that in the stories and saga, sapkowski was really good at creating likeable, enigmatic characters no matter how few pages he had to create them. they were deep and almost lifelike and also usually told a larger message. the NPCs- sorry, "characters" in season of storms are SUPER flat and uninteresting.

coral is h*rny for geralt and jealous of yennefer, like every sorceress ever to exist, pratt is a dick and corrupt, degerlund is corrupt and evil, mosaik is timid, the werewolf guy is JUST THERE, the auguara isn’t super interesting despite being cool, nimue feels flatter as a character than usual, even dandelion- okay actually jk i liked dandelion he was the sunny part of this book AS ALWAYS ... ofc he felt one-dimensional but he usually does so you know, EVEN GERALT feels a little one-dimensional and not his typical introspective self

one of the worst things sapkowski did was [SPOILERS] make the major villain character of the book gay and feminine... like its mentioned SO many times that "ohhhh this is a man that looks like a woman WOW HOW EVIL!" and he literally does the worst things like rip ppl to shreds and want to kill geralt painfully by torture with syringes, also he uses his sexuality to ?? seduce an older sorcerer to be his favorite so he can keep his job as a sorcerer?? 

and OK vilgefortz and bonhart arent complex villains. but theyre despicable and it feels a little deeper bc vilgefortz has that backstory and hunger for power, and bonhart is just terrifying and the embodiment of wretched evil, this guy from season of storms is just annoying and anime villainy like “OOHOHOH watch how i kill you now >:)” also theres a lot of crass humor like fart jokes and villains that are described as really super ugly like omg wow never saw that one coming!!! it just feels super bland and basic and almost like the antithesis of The Witcher as short stories and a saga, super out of place with the rest of the series. [END SPOILERS]

in my opinion, the BIGGEST FLAW with season of storms is that since the plot is so all over the place, and since the characters are so flimsy, the entire book feels meaningless. it feels like it would appease games or netflix fans who just want to read about geralt going on some crazy adventures, and it does serve that purpose, but it is NOT a “book belonging to the witcher series.” it has no depth where there should be... i do not feel like sapkowski is trying to tell me something as a reader about human nature, or the nature of parent-child relationships, or society, or violence and war... 

it just feels like geralt is doing all of this shit just because sapkowski had some remaining ideas and wanted to get all of them out into the world all in the same book, like sewing a vest out of fabric scraps. it was not refined like the witcher saga, because none of them were really meant to fit together anyways, and because they weren’t meant to fit together, there is a distinct lack of message and substance to it.

TLDR: no cohesive narrative and a confusing plot, no deeper underlying message or arguments about humanity or society or nature being made by the author, cheap new side & background characters, no ciri and no yennefer so geralt is quite directionless and stupid

other remarks that are just my personal preferences and comments:

geralt & dandelion:

geralt mostly works alone in this book... which is... not my favorite. this is why i got bored with tw3 after i read the witcher books, because i can’t stand geralt being alone, the world feels so... lonely! although he meets up with dandelion and has an affair with coral in season of storms, most of the book is him waffling about with side and background characters that i couldn’t care less about because sapkowski put no effort into developing them to be enigmatic or at least lifelike and likable (unlike some really minor characters in the witcher saga that, although they were so minor, were incredibly likable: for example, applegatt and toruviel i quite like). 

of course, i also have a preference for when geralt hangs out with dandelion, because it usually creates more of a lighter tone for the scenes and a more humorous nature overall, plus geralt changes his personality to be not in such a bad mood and we get to see him being kind and friendly. so it annoys me that although dandelion has some scenes with geralt, they never really have deep conversations like they do in a little sacrifice, or witty remarks & banter like in the edge of the world... i feel like dandelion was quite in-character for the whole book, which is good, but also, he’s dandelion so he’s pretty easy to get in character. he’s just easy-going, arrogant, preoccupied with earthly delights, cowardly, and friendly to geralt. but it annoyed me that their scenes together were both not very deep, and that they didn’t get as much interaction as i think they deserved. usually in a witcher book or story in which geralt and dandelion have met, they stay by each other’s side for like, the whole book or story, lmao... 

that being said, they do have some fun moments in this book and dandelion has some funny lines which i quite enjoy. like. they are eating at an inn, and the innkeeper asks them “how are you finding the pork?” and dandelion replies, “we’re finding it among the kasha. from time to time. not as often as we’d like to.” and somehow i just find that line so fucking funny... i think it’s just because it’s really relatable

sorcery:

coral is SOOOOO one-dimensional, she really is just like the same character as fringilla vigo or some other sorceress that’s jealous of yennefer for getting to bang geralt, and this lack of characterization is super transparent. people laugh about how many affairs geralt has had, but they never discuss how all of them have been super uneasy and unfulfilling.

already said that i hate degerlund as a character and all of the sorcerers being morally wack is predictable if you’ve read like, anything from the saga about the sorcerer/esses. also geralt talking with sorcerers is like, interesting if the sorcerer in question is vilgefortz, but everyone else is just super boring

other:

i didn’t really like ferrant de lettenhove until the very end of the book (which i won’t spoil) but because of this end, i wished that he got more backstory/development

NIMUE I LOVE YOU and it was nice that nimue got some more backstory in this.

i do enjoy the end of the book. not to say “my favorite part is when it ended,” but it’s true, because the ending in kerack is interesting and full of drama, the moments in the inn are alright if a little void of substance, the ending with geralt and dandelion on horseback is beautiful, and the epilogue with nimue is wistful and beautiful as well.

sheer pettiness:

oh my GOD why are the CHAPTERS so SHORT? it’s like, 20 chapters plus a bunch of interludes and an epilogue, and the book is only 357 pages long. it feels like as soon as i was getting into a scene, it switched to another chapter. i mean, idk whether i prefer this, or the haphhazard long as fuck chapters from baptism of fire where i’m not quite sure when a chapter begins or ends because i memorized the scenes and not when a chapter occurs. 

i dislike how coral is on the cover of it, even though it’s fitting, because if there was a work about... oh idk... the hansa... then angouleme could have been on the cover... and then i could have had geralt + yennefer + ciri + dandelion + the hansa on the covers... like wow that would be cool...

this book would have functioned much better as a series of short stories... i think sapkowski has talent for the short story medium, but novel-length books are more desirable by publishers, but this is literally just a guess, i don’t have anything to back this up

my recommendation: don’t buy it if you are just looking to read the witcher books as in, get a feel for the book canon world and characters. it’s pretty unnecessary for that. do buy it if you are a completionist like me / the witcher is something you’ve been into for years and you’re about to buy all the books as a set and it would feel weird to not have all eight books on your shelf and it’s only like $5 more to buy the set of 8 as compared to the set of 7. don’t read it and expect perfection, it’s basically like “drabbles” but canon from the author. there are like 2 or 3 nice gerlion moments if you care about that.

Chloé as Ladybug AU

So I know some people have thought of this before but tbh now I’m thinking of it in a ‘what if this was taken seriously as a way for her to go through a redemption arc and grow as aperson instead of just using ‘she’s terrible and everyone hates her(especially Adrien)’ as the entire joke?’.

Anyway, onto the actual thing, starting with Origins:

Chloé somehow gets the Ladybug Miraculous instead of Marinette. Maybe accidentally, maybe Master Fu has some plans. IDK.

She’s super excited over the attention she would get as a Hero. Tikki warns her that she can’t reveal her identity, and she’s like ‘okay, fine, yeah that’s a superhero rule whatever.’. And since she isn’t transforming as part of her breakdown, she does stick to that.

immediately after she transforms and starts running around the city to get used to the powers/practice with the yoyo/etc.

Chloé runs into Chat Noir.

They immediately recognize eachother and are like the pointing Siderman meme

Legit though, they’re super excited to be heroes together. Bffs as Heroes! And yes, bffs, because I always headcanon them as sibling-like with Chloé faking her crush for a variety of reasons. But hey! With secret identities, you don’t have to do that!

As usual, Ivan becomes Stoneheart.

Chloé and Adrien treat it as more of a game, at first. I mean, they became Superheroes. Of course they think it’s gonna be fun. So they play it up, go ham, soak in the attention and play with the ‘personas’

They kinda realize through the fight that it might be harder than they thought. Because they are getting slammed around, and it starts to actually hurt. But they get through and win.

Then we have the later scene of ‘you remembered to purify the butterfly, right?’

Upon learning that she screwed up, Chloé snaps at Tikki. Telling her ‘how the hell was I supposed to know if you didn’t tell me? I’ve never done this before!’.

Logically, she knows that Tikki just forgot. But she feels like it was a set up for failure. And despite her ‘omg I’m the best’ persona she puts up, she is kind of scared that she’s not enough. That she’s never enough. And this brings that up.

As much as she tries to pretend , she kinda knows that she’s terrible and honestly doesn’t deserve to be a hero. And this just proves it. So she Rejects the Miraculous and Tikki disappears back into the earrings.

At school they’re all discussing the whole Stoneheart thing and Chloé kinda tries to help by saying ‘well, just don’t piss him off and he won’t go all giant monster again’. That doesn’t come out as intended.

Ivan becomes Stoneheart again, but this time Chloé manages to get out before she’s grabbed/

At first, she doesn’t join the fight. Why bother when she’ll screw it up again?

But she sees Chat Noir out there still trying(and kinda failing.) And she can’t leave him on his own.

When she puts the earrings on and Tikki comes back out, the Kwami apologizes for not telling her about the butterfly. And this… catches Chloé off guard. Because people never apologize sincerely to her.

A lot of times people refuse to apologize to her. More often than not, they are forced to apologize because she’s the Mayor’s Daughter and could ruin them if they didn’t. Sometimes, with her parents, it’s a brushed off apology. A ‘sorry not sorry’, ‘sorry you got upset by my totally justified actions’.

So to have Tikki genuinely apologize, it confuses her. Especially when Tikki acknowledges that Chloé might not be the best person, but she doesn’t have to be perfect. Still, she hopes she can be better, knows she can if she tries again.

Chloé goes to fight as Ladybug again, and this time, her version of the speech to Hawkmoth is basically ‘I might not be the perfect choice for this job, but by fuck I’m going to do it! I will never back down or give in to you!’.

Next day at school, when Chloé goes to sit down, she finds Marinette back in her seat. When she tells her to move, Marinette stands up to her, saying ‘maybe I’m not perfect like you think you are, but I’m not backing down or giving in to you anymore.’.

This has gone full roleswap. Marinette sees Ladybug as a hero and inspiration, and uses that as the courage to stand up for herself.

This, honestly, confuses the hell out of Chloé so much that she actually backs down for a minute.

There are two things that stop Chloé from retaliating immediately.

The first is what Tikki said, about believing she can be better. Part of her thinks ‘whatever. I know I’m terrible. I’ve resigned myself to that. And even if I try no one will believe or accept it’. But… Tikki is an ancient magical creature, the Kwami of Creation. She might be right.

The second thing, is when Adrien saw Marinette stand up to Chloé, he was immediately like ‘heart eyes motherfucker!’.

So, Adrien has a crush on Marinette. Though she hates him because of Chloé’s earlier gum prank. So Chloé decides to confront Marinette.

Mari is expecting a fight and absolutely squares up. But Chloé is just like ‘hey I wanna talk about the gum prank’.

Mari’s like ‘Are you… are you apologizing?. Chloé’s just like ‘oh god no that’d be ridiculous. I just wanted to tell you that Adrien isn’t a part of it.’.

She explains that while she is absolutely a terrible person and knows it, Adrien is sweet af and innocent in that.

While Mari is hesitant and thinks this might be Chloé setting her up, she does give Adrien a chance. Especially after he apologizes and she asks other students about the gum prank.

Marinette doesn’t develop her crush on Adrien. But they do become friends.

Chloé also stops pretending to have a crush on Adrien because he likes Mari, and while Chloé would never admit it, Mari is probably the one person who might be good enough for him now that she has confidence. So she actively encourages him to go for it.

In between episodes, Chloé invites Adrien over and he gets to meet Tikki, while Chloé gets to meet Plagg!

At first Tikki’s like ‘you arent’ supposed to tell anyone about the hero stuff!’, but they explain that they recognized each other immediately so, you know. It didn’t matter.

The Kwami allow it if only because it was accidental but they are happy that they can see each other whenever this time around!

Chloé gets along with Plagg very well, and Adrien gets along with Tikki just as easily. They jokingly are like ‘maybe we should switch’.

So, like, before we go on I want to talk about Chloé’s ‘Hero Persona’. Much like Adrien as Chat Noir, Chloé uses Ladybug to be different from herself. She plays into the Hero Persona bit, trying to be nice and encouraging as a Hero should be. Which is strange to her, but kind of fun.

It doesn’t always work because she isn’t used to it, and sometimes the snark comes out or her temper gets the better of her, or it turns into my ‘how valid is your reason for akumatization’ post. But honestly? The way people love her and look up to her as Ladybug is good. Almost addicting in a way. It’s not only attention but good attention of people loving her for things she does instead of hating her or pretending to love her for money/status.

This does eventually start leaking into her Civillian life, especially with encouragement from Adrien and Tikki. And Plagg, I guess. He’s a bit more like ‘eh, whatever, be salty kid.’

Okay, so, as for other episodes. Some would stay the same with the only thing that changes being it’s Chloé doing the fighting instead of Marinette, but others go very differently. So I’ll go through them.

Stormy Weather

Mostly no changes. There might be the fact that, since Marinette doesn’t have a crush on Adrien, she doesn’t go to his photoshoot and therefore she, Alya, and Manon don’t get caught in Stormy Weather’s attack. But that wasn’t too important.

The Bubbler

Both Adrien and Chloé put off hero duties to enjoy the party at first. However, once they find out that parents are getting sent to space they jump into action.

Since Marinette doesn’t have a crush on Adrien, she didn’t panic and forget to sign the present. She instead gives it to Adrien in-person, and Nathalie has to run out and buy something else to give Adrien.

The Pharaoh

Not much changes here, except it’s Chloé and Adrien going to the Egypt Exhibit instead of Marinette and Alya. Well, who knows. Those two might’ve shown up too. It’s a neat Exhibit.

Chloé wouldn’t have dropped her history book. I’m still not sure what the fuck was up with that in the show in the first place. Ladybug doesn’t have pockets! Well, actually, this version might…. Remind me to design Chloé’s Ladybug outfit sometime. Either way!! No textbook!!

Lady Wifi

Of course Alya still starts up the Ladyblog. But I had a few ideas of how this could go.

Option A is to continue the role reversal and have Alya think that Marinette is Ladybug. The problem here is that if Alya snoops through Mari’s stuff, Mari wouldn’t freak out and try to have Alya expelled.

Option B is to still have Alya on the right track with Chloé being Ladybug, and does the ‘snoop in her locker’ thing. Naturally Chloé panics and insists Alya be expelled for that. (Side note: I still insist that Chloé was entirely justified in her reaction to someone rooting around in her locker). Problem here is ‘how does Chloé get out of this one?’

Timebreaker

This goes pretty much the same. Four teenagers don’t have enough collective brainpower to think ‘a pocket watch goes in a pocket’, and Chloé comes in with the Crow Brain to look at the shiny thing. Watch gets dropped and broken, Akuma time.

There is the issue of Marinette being unable to use time travel to fix her issue of needing to be in two places at once, but either she hides from Timebreaker by going home and taking care of the problem, or Chloé(having softened up a bit and is being nice) gives a half-truth to cover for her, saying ‘oh, sorry, she was caught up in some Akuma business and couldn’t be here!’.

Mr. Pigeon

I still don’t understand what the fuck is up with this.

The Akuma part of the story is still the same, but the hat contest is probably different due to the shift in dynamics. Chloé is trying to be nicer and even if she tried to copy Marinette’s hat design, Tikki would talk her out of it.

Although, Adrien probably is really encouraging for Marinette because of his crush, and he really wants her to win.

Chloé actually does something nice, after noticing that Mari took inspiration from the Akuma of the day and added feathers. She goes up and warns her, ‘hey, Adrien’s going to be wearing the hat and he’s allergic to feathers you should use fake feathers’. Mari is a little suspicious because while Chloé’s been better lately she’s still Chloé. But since it was something simple like that and not an act of sabotage, she takes the advice.

Evillustrator

So, while Nath is still Akumatized due to his teacher being a bitch, the ‘Chloé teasing him’ goes a little different.

When she sees his sketchbook, her comment is to Adrien of ‘looks like you have some competition!’, cluing Nath into the fact that Adrien also has a crush on Marinette, and immediately bringing up some insecurities because, you know, Adrien is a literal model.

When he’s Akumatized, instead of going after Chloé for her teasing, he goes after Adrien for being a romantic rival.

However, once Ladybug and Chat Noir are on the scene, he can’t find Adrien or Chloé, so he heads over to Marinette’s house.

While that was happening, we still have the issue with Marinette trying to convince Sabrina that Chloé is a bad friend. Since Mari wasn’t interrupted by Ladybug stuff, Sabrina was actually with her and both are being held hostage by Evillustrator.

Chloé lures Evillustrator away while Chat Noir stays behind to protect the girls. It doesn’t entirely work, but Marinette offers to be ‘bait’. Both heroes are opposed to it, but she points out that Evillustrator will come back eventually.

Chat Noir goes out of his way to protect Marinette and is just overly sweet and maybe shows off a little bit and oh no now she has a crush on him. Chloé finds out about this and is fucking cackling because Adrien likes Marinette and she returns the feelings but she doesn’t know that!

After all of this, Chloé does realize that Marinette is right about the whole Sabrina situation. And as part of her ‘being better’ thing, apologizes and resolves to be a better friend. Sabrina is easily won over by just the apology, but Chloé is legit trying.

Rogercop

not sure how this would pan out tbh. The whole thing was kickstarted because Plagg stole Chloé’s bracelet thinking it was cheese. But in this AU, Adrien would be able to tell Chloé what happened because she knows about Plagg, and even if he couldn’t Chloé has Tikki in her purse so Tikki would tell her(if she didn’t already stop Plagg from being an idiot). And even if she didn’t know, Chloé wouldn’t let her bag be searched because of Tikki

Legit though this is probably the one I’m stuck on

Copycat

This wouldn’t be exactly the same. Assuming the same thing happened of Théo having a crush on this Ladybug, Chat wouldn’t be jealous of this crush since he likes Marinette, not Chloé. Maybe this one is either Chat tries to let the guy down gently that Chloé won’t like him back, but accidentally implies that he’s dating Ladybug?

Mari’s subplot wouldn’t be the same since she doesn’t have a crush on Adrien and wouldn’t leave an embarrassing voicemail.

Wait, maybe the tables are turned and in this AU Théo has a crush on Chat Noir, and Chloé is the one who pulls the ‘he is already in love with someone else’, accidentally implying it’s her. Meanwhile Chat is missing because Adrien is attempting to ask Marinette out on a date.

Dark Cupid

This is mostly the same. Kim confesses to Chloé and is rejected. She’d be less harsh in this AU, but she still rejected him so you know.

Dark Cupid does effect Friendship, so when Chat gets hit it turns against Chloé’s friendship. He honestly probably says some very harsh stuff about Chloé’s history as a bully. She pushes that aside for later.

I’m thinking that Chloé knows she needs Chat back, and decides to go the ‘true love’s kiss’ route. Which means Marinette. Who just so happened to be trying to figure out a way to get a valentine to Chat Noir.

After everything’s back to normal, Adrien apologizes for the stuff he said while under Dark Cupid’s spell. Chloé says he doesn’t have to, because he was right. While she’d been kinda edging toward being nicer, this is where it really hits her that she should try in her civilian life instead of just as Ladybug.

Horrificator

Goes mostly the same. Mylene is scared and gets Akumatized over it. Chloé is trying to help by pointing out ‘why are you in a monster movie if you’re going to get this scared by what you know is coming??’, but it comes out bad. Chloé does get a chance to apologize by the end.

She also isn’t helping by trying to set up Mari and Adrien for the kiss scene. Which confuses everyone because while they noticed that Chloé wasn’t all over Adrien they still think she’s ‘hopelessly in love with him’ and have no clue why she’s doing that

Darkblade

Mostly the same for the Akuma plot.

Chloé decides to not blackmail anyone since it’s part of being nicer. I’m debating about having her decide to give up being class representative since being Ladybug is cutting into her free time enough, but considering her stubornness and the fact that she might feel pressured into the role by her dad, she might still run but ultimately lose to Marinette who wins since there was no blackmail to hold her back.

The Mime

The Akuma plot is the same. The side plot might be tweaked in that, since Marinette can’t recreate the footage herself, she tracks down Chloé and asks for her to recreate the interview she accidentally deleted.

Kung Food

Since Chloé is actively being nicer by this point, she wouldn’t sabotage the soup. I mean, I guess maybe this could be the point where Marinette says something to piss her off and Chloé slips back into her old ways for a bit, but regrets it as soon as she realizes what she really did and that this goes further than just petty revenge on someone who insulted her.

Gamer

Possibly different. Marinette wouldn’t have a reason to enter the gaming competition, therefore Max wouldn’t lose and be Akumatized.

Maybe Marinette ends up entering anyway. Or maybe Adrien suggests that Chloé try competing too since she’s definitely good at video games. (TELL ME I’M WRONG. Adrien only had her as a friend for most of his life! How would he get good at a multiplayer game if he didn’t have someone to play against?!)

Animan

Again, the Akuma is the same but the B plot is different! Since Adrien has a crush on Marinette, and everyone besides Marinette knows it because the boy is not subtle, I’m thinking something different.

Option A is that Nino has a crush on Alya and Adrien and Marinette try to set them up

Option B is that Nino, Alya, and Chloé try to set up a date for Adrien and Marinette. Nino and Alya are very confused about what’s up with Chloé but, well, you know how it goes.

Either way Chloé absolutely goes off on the Akuma of the day. “You were Akumatized because some dumbass doesn’t understand panthers??? What the fuck my man???”

Vanisher

I know Vanisher didn’t get her own episode but that was unfair as FUCK and this would fix it!

Since Chloé is actually Ladybug, she doesn’t dress up and pretend to be Ladybug. Therefore, the original fight can’t happen.

Instead, Chloé and Sabrina fight because Chloé keeps disappearing to be Ladybug. She runs off, she spends time with other people now, and she doesn’t answers Sabrina’s late night texts anymore because Chloé doesn’t have her phone on her when she’s out on patrols.  

Even though Chloé promised to be a better friend, she’s technically been worse and is making Sabrina feel invisible.

After De-Akumatizing her, Chloé and Sabrina have a long talk, and try to schedule things out. She can’t tell her about being Ladybug, but she absolutely tries to make sure they hang out more.

Anitibug

Obviously Chloé wouldn’t get Aumatized here. However, Marinette absolutely can!

It still has something to do with Ladybug though. I was thinking maybe Chloé as Ladybug would snap at her like a reverse of what happened in the show. But you know what would be better?

Marinette finds out that Chloé is Ladybug. Think about it. The girl that bullied her for years and the girl who gave her the confidence to stand up to said bully are the same person. It not only breaks her mind, but she spirals thinking about every interaction she had with Ladybug, over analyzing every little comment and turning it into some kind of insult.

Also, her whole thing with Chat Noir? Absolutely comes into play. Marinette has him tied up and does the whole ‘hey, look, your Ladybug is actually pretty terrible. How about you get with me instead?’. Chat’s like ‘Okay I like you but this is not how I wanted this to go down!!’.

Eventually she is de-akumatized, but it’s their hardest fight yet. Chloé tries to talk to Marinette, but she doesn’t want to hear it. But Chat and Tikki are there to make her (Mari also freaks out at Tikki, but that’s explained quickly).

Chloé is like ‘look, I’ve been terrible. I am terrible. Even if I’m trying to be better, I know that. But everything I said or did as Ladybug was true. And even if it wasn’t, it meant something to you. You stood up to me and my terrible self because of that. So even if it’s me behind the mask, keep doing what you’re doing. You’re kind of amazing. Also if you tell anyone I said that I will tie you to the top of the Eiffel Tower I swear to fuck.”

This kind of really gets through to Mari that she’s trying to be better. And she looks back and sees that a lot of Chloé’s weird behavior was her either being nice or trying and failing to be nice. This starts up a tentative friendship.

Chat’s kind of like ‘Hey since she knows who you are shouldn’t she know who I am?’, but Tikki says no and bans him from telling her. Adrien is screaming because this would fix all of his romance problems real quick but no he still has to try and win Marinette over as Adrien. Goddamn it.

Puppeteer

Probably goes about the same since none of the Mari/Chloé/Adrien things caused this.

However, Chloé goes off on Nadja for the toy incident. You are given a toy to borrow for the weekend, but forbid it because ‘your kid has too many toys’? What the fuck lady? It’d be one thing if your kid was begging to buy an expensive toy but this is a free gift she’d return after like a week!

Relfekta

since Chloé isn’t being mean, this probably happens differently. Maybe it’s a ‘slipping back into her old habits’ thing while trying to help get Mari next to Adrien, but she probably didn’t go as far. It was just Juleka’s curse that happened.

Guitar Villain

Happens the same, really. Can’t go wrong with a pet dragon.

Pixelator

Pretty much the same, except Adrien and Marinette get trapped together and Adrien is still dying inside because he can’t just transform to get them out because Tikki will kill him. (He does not want to anger the tiny god thing!)

Princess Fragrance

Instead of being a bitch, Chloé brushes off Rose’s request of delivering a letter to Prince Ali because she’s concerned about Tikki being sick.

Simon Says

Pretty much the same, except for two changes:

First, when Adrien snaps at his dad, Chloé’s like ‘nah he deserves it! Fuckin go off since you can without repercussions!’.

Secondly, when Chloé finds out why the guy got Akumatized, she points out it’s the fault of the showrunners for deciding ‘we’re going to call a person at random and if they refuse to participate you fail automatically bye bitch!’. Which gets the Akuma to be like ‘wait, you’re right. Hold that thought.’

Volpina

Hoo boy! This is fun!

So, Chloé actually pays no attention to Lila. She knows Lila’s lying, but she doesn’t care. It ain’t hurting her, and she’ll be found out soon enough. If she does try something, then she can easily give an interview as Ladybug to disprove her claim of friendship. (She wants to do it anyway because she’s salty but she refrains.)

Marinette picks up on Lila’s lies about knowing Ladybug, since she knows Chloé is Ladybug and Chloé doesn’t know Lila at all. She still does her thing of following Lila.

Adrien still finds the Book of Miraculous Bullshittery, and he tells Chloé to meet him in the library to discuss it. They start up, but are interrupted by Lila. The three look at the book, but Chloé takes it with her at the end of the conversation.

Lila still saw enough of the book to buy a fake Miraculous for later. Marinette still following her of course.

However, at the park scene, it’s Adrien who calls Lila out on her lies(Mari wants to, but she can’t prove anything since she isn’t Ladybug). Adrien’s obviously nicer, but he’s still like ‘I know you’re lying about knowing Ladybug and being a Hero, but why?’.

This pisses Lila off because she ruined her chances with him. She becomes Volpina of course.

Adrien and Chloé obviously put together that this is an Akuma and not another hero. When Adrien explains what happened, Chloé gets very upset that this girl tried to manipulate her best friend like that.

After defeating her, Chloé tentatively offers to give Lila another chance, since Adrien talked her into it. But Lila’s like ‘fuck you!’.

Christmas Special

So, like, since Chloé knows that Adrien’s Chat Noir, and knows he’s fine after he disappears, she doesn’t show up to kick santa’s ass. So something else probably happens.

So, I kinda stopped properly watching episodes after Season 1, but I know what happens and such to the point where I’ll talk on them. Not every episode, but ones where I know something would change.  

The Collector

Chloé goes to meet Master Fu, and she takes Adrien with her. There is a lot of mixed feelings over suggesting that Gabriel could be Hawkmoth that get discussed right then and there.

While Master Fu thinks Gabriel can’t be Hawkmoth since he was Akumatized, Chloé says they can’t rule him out. She knows manipulation tactics. And Gabriel becoming an Akuma right at the moment when they were investigating him? It’s suspicious. She lets it go for now, but she doesn’t rule him out. Adrien honestly agrees.

Despair Bear

Sine Chloé is already being nicer, there is no need to threaten her with the bear. And she wouldn’t be upset at Mari and Adrien dancing together. Not sure how/why the butler would be Akumatized. Maybe the butler doesn’t know shes being nicer and is trying to do this to help, but misunderstands her excitement over the dance as jealous anger?  Idk

Prime Queen

Since Chloé and Adrien are 110% platonic, when Nadja asks about the ‘supposed romantic relationship’, they laugh for a good two minutes before going ‘wait you’re serious??’. They explain that they’re not in a romance, they’re just good friends who trust the fuck out of each other

Riposte

Since Marinette isn’t joining the fencing club to impress Adrien, we have to do something different. Maybe she tries to join for other reasons. Either Adrien asks as a way to spend more time with her, or she joins because now that she knows about Chloé being Ladybug, she wants to help fight.

Gigantitan

Instead of everyone trying to get Mari to ask out Adrien, they’re trying to get Adrien to ask out Marinette.

Dark Owl

Chloé and Adrien already know each other’s identities, so this isn’t an ‘almost reveal’.

Glaciator

Since Adrien has a crush on Marinette and not Ladybug, he wouldn’t miss the ice cream date. The guy might get Akumatized when Marinette is disappointed that her ice cream isn’t Chat Noir flavored. (Okay, I wrote that at like 4 am and now that I’m coming back to it I am concerned at my wording.)

Sapotis

While Chloé is working on being friendly to all classmates, and Adrien is already close to Alya, she wouldn’t be their first choice for another Miraculous.

Instead, they give the Fox to Marinette. Not only does she already know about Chloé, but both of our heroes agree that Mari is Hero Material.(She really is. Even in this ‘she never got a Miraculous the first time AU, she still is!).

Chloé refuses to take the Fox away from Marinette. After all, it’s not fair that the Ladybug and Cat are out all the time. Not to mention that Mari can’t get any good practice in without the Miraculous. That and they don’t want to separate Mari and Trixx.

Also, Trixx teases the hell out of Tikki for having her Chosen be the first to screw up the secret identity thing.

Zombizou

As Chloé is nice here, neither Marinette nor Miss Bustier are in danger of being Akumatized because of her.

However, I have ideas for Miss Bustier’s Akumatization based off what was going to happen in my old fic The One Where Chloé Knows. I plan to continue that eventually, so skip this if you don’t want spoilers.

Basically, Miss Bustier is in some trouble with the school since most of the Akumas have come out of her class. She just wants to do her job and keep her students safe.

Syren

instead of being upset at Ladybug keeping secrets, since Chloé doesn’t do that, Adrien gets frustrated that he can’t tell Marinette who he is. Other than that this episode is pretty much the same.

Frightengale

instead of ruining Clara’s music video out of petty jealousy, Chloé does it to try and help protect Chat Noir’s secret identity. It backfires, of course, doubly so because she can’t tell Marinette why, but everything works out in the end.

Troublemaker

Mari doesn’t have a photo wall of Adrien. Maybe she has a wall of Chat Noir, but probably not since there aren’t as many printed pictures of him to collect.

Anansi

I’m debating on whether or not to do something with the Turtle Miraculous.

Option A is to keep it as is, giving it to Nino. This would be Adrien’s decision since he knows Nino best.

Option B, is to have Chloé give it to Sabrina, especially since she still feels guilty for not spending as much time with her.

I’m debating about it because while Option B makes some sense, Sabrina isn’t really Hero Material. Not yet at least. But Nino is.

Frozer

Marinette starts to get over her crush on Chat Noir, convincing herself it was just a ‘hero crush’ type thing. She decides to try a date with Luka. Adrien, believing he’s lost his love to him, tries going out with Kagami. Both end up wishing they were with each other instead.

Style Queen

Since Chloé is already Ladybug, she can’t be the Bee. She gives the Bee to someone else. Possibly Alya, to keep the original Quintet intact. But maybe someone else.

Instead of turning into a superhero out of jealous rage, Chloé snaps at her mother and nearly gets Akumatized before Adrien and Marinette manage to calm her down. This does get through to her mother, who realizes how much she’s been fucking up by being absent.  

Malediktator

Since Chloé is being a better person she would have no reason to leave Paris. I think her dad would probably get Akumatized due to Chloé’s near-breakdown in the previous episode, realizing how much he fucked up in raising her too.

Heroes’ Day

I wanted to say something would be different, but other than Marinette being re-akumatised instead of Chloé, not really. I guess the ‘good deeds’ speech would be different.

Backwarder

Since Marinette isn’t trying to deliver a love letter to Adrien, and likely isn’t the one doing any deliveries at all, the letters don’t get mixed up. Not sure how this would go down instead.

Weredad

A few things are different. Firstly, Mari wouldn’t have a secret identity to hide since Chat Noir knows she’s the Fox.(I guess I could go back and say oh, no, only Chloé knows, but not only was it a group decision to give her the Fox, but Chloé wouldn’t put them in a love square so help her!)

Marinette also does actually have a crush on Chat Noir in this AU, so it wouldn’t be a panic-fueled lie.

Even if Mari confessed to liking Chat Noir to distract him, Chat would be delighted instead of saying ‘I’m in love with someone else’. However, he might say ‘sorry, as much as I do return your affections, we can’t be together right now due to the secret identity’

Chameleon

When Lila tries to manipulate the class into loving her, Chloé calls her out on it. At first people think it’s Chloé going back to her old ways and/or trying to shift the hatred to the new girl.

Then Marinette chimes in with the stuff she eavesdropped on back in Volpina, and Adrien hesitantly backs up the claims that Lila did try to lie to get him to date her.

Everyone agrees that Lila might’ve lied about that, but there’s a chance she’s not lying about other things. Still, they now take what she says with a grain of salt.

Lila confronts Chloé in the bathrooms this time, telling her the usual ‘stay out of my way or I’ll ruin you’. Chloé tells her ‘go ahead and try. They already hate me. I have nothing to lose!’.

Chloé has a minor breakdown after Lila leaves though. Because while she said she has nothing to lose, she kind of does. Because people are starting to genuinely like her now that she’s being nice. And if Lila ruins that…. Well, Chloé almost gets Akumatized over it, but she pulls together knowing that Adrien and Marinette would never believe Lila.

Lila then becomes Chameleon and causes chaos though. Lila still has a hatred of Ladybug, but she also hates Chloé and Marinette as much. Only reason she doesn’t hate Adrien is because if she can get him, then it will be a big fuck you to Chloé and Marinette.

Animaestro

Since Marinette and Chloé aren’t fighting over Adrien, they don’t have a problem.

Bakerix

There’s mostly no change except for the fact that Chloé puts together that this might not be about bread recipes….

Oblivio

Since it’s Chloé and Adrien getting memory wiped, their assumptions are different. I could go for comedy and say they also assume they are a couple and get grossed out later when they regain their memories, but I think they assume they’re siblings since they obviously trust each other but don’t have a romantic spark.

Stormy Weather 2

Chloé’s not a jerk anymore, so she wouldn’t be picking on Aurore. Idk what happens I’m tired it’s fuckin 5 am as I’m typing this now.

Onichan

I doubt that Adrien would be allowed to be alone near Lila after what happened in Chameleon. While Chloé and Marinette would be willing to give her a chance at redemption, Lila has shown no sign of doing so and would not trust her until she does.

Adrien might end up forced by something else to spend time with Lila. Or maybe he’s just too nice for his own damn good.

However, he gets very cold when Lila pulls the kiss picture, and decides ‘no. No way. You want another chance you gotta go through someone else first’.

Miraculer

Since Chloé is the Bee, and none of the other Heroes identities are known, and they get to keep their Miraculous 24/7, this doesn’t really happen.

I feel like this could be a time to change the entire episode plot. Say, for example, Chloé finally gives in to her insecurities and fears over being never enough and gets Akumatized. She manages to take off the Miraculous first, and Tikki zips off to find one of the other heroes to be Ladybug for the day. She absolutely chooses Marinette for the cookies.

Timetagger

FUCK IT I’M GIVING ALIX THE SNAKE INSTEAD OF THE RABBIT FUCK YOU SHE HAS SNAKE DESIGNS ON HER SLEEVES GODDAMNIT.

Sorry it’s 5 am and I’m salty. But seriously.

I don’t think Gamer 2.0 would change, and that’s the most recent episode as of typing this so fuck it this is going right into the void tomorrow and then I can go back to working on fuckin fullmetal alchemist and all that other gay shit.

[is-hiveswap-act-2-out-yet]

March 8, 2018

Hiveswap: Act 2 is not out yet.

Hey what’s up guys I hate tumblr apps and I hate the ipad I have to remember and retype all of this so I ugh it won’t be as raw as the first draft but

Anyway

I am depressed and very sad...and I am depressed. I wasn’t gonna even make the original post bc I’m so sad and didn’t have the energy to do it i was just gonna go to sleep but idk I feel kind of a personal obligation so here I am...remembering and retyping the post I just made but tumblr just pooped out of existence.

I um I got a car like I signed for it and everything and it’s all good i can pay for it but the problem is the insurance. Because since I’m under 21 (woman) the insurance is like super expensive it’s like $300 a month at the cheapest and that’s like a DEAL.

I can’t like get on my dads insurance bc my dad and I...like really bad stuff like we don’t talk and honestly I’d rather Uber the rest of my life than give him one more thing to hold over me when trying to manipulate me and emotionally abuse me

Um but so anyway it’s stressing me out because like ugh its so unfair its just so unnecessary it’s so stupid you know? The life ive had to live because of my dad. Its not even the price. That made me cry. Its that I’ve been living this way for so long now that it feels never ending. It feels like...my goals are /just/ out of reach.

It sucks to see your friends all have opportunity like from their parents. And help from their parents, to at least get started. And...I don’t have that. I’ve never had that. My parents just kind of did their job till I was like 13 and then I had to learn everything myself. And I obviously havent learned a whole lot. Just how to sing and how to be a kind of cool person. But maybe not even that. Idk I’ve never been close to my parents. Theyve never made an effort to like be a part of my life and know who I am. And I don’t know them either. Like I see them every day, my mom drives me places if I ask, but I don’t know them.

And I don’t know how orphans that leave an orphanage at 18 do it. Because without the help from parents, without that little push, it’s so hard to exist in this world.

Like I can almost grab them but I’m stuck in that never ending stretch. And no matter what I do no matter how much closer I move the finish line, I still am stuck, alone, reaching for it and struggling to grab it.

I also um I got an offer for a full time job. But honestly I’m not too confident in my ability to be a sales person 24/7 but I don’t really have a choice. I’m scared I’ll start and theyll realize how terrible I am and how they made a mistake and theyll fire me and my uselessness will be: confirmed. And its like really giving me anxiety. But...again. Don’t have a choice.

And its also killing me bc my current job. I’ve been there for 3 years. I’ve built so many important friendships and learned so much there. That place is forever in my heart, I love it so much. Its honestly my comfort, from my actual life. Which is weird, right? Work is where you find comfort? But yeah. Work is currently my comfort. I feel at home when I walk in the doors.

And it hurts me to think about having to leave. Or to even think about having to tell my coworkers and managers that I got an offer for a full time job that I have to take. I don’t want to end that chapter of my life. Not yet. Not for some boring sales position at what seems like a terrible company.

I tried to tell them today and I couldn’t do it it was so hard I was thinking about it all day and I felt guilt for not telling them and that makes me really sad.

But you know I need this because I don’t have health insurance and I need health insurance. I need it.

I don’t know.

I was always scared to get a full time job too because to me...a full time job...is like...the end. Or not the end but more like...the beginning of...acceptance? Like just the beginning of accepting that you have to work away your life to live and you have to work under capitalism and succeed in capitalism and just...taking a seat and following all those rules to live a secure life. Giving your life up. Giving up your dreams, even.

It feels like I’m running out of time.

And you know I don’t want to be stuck in a cycle under the capitalist thumb until I die I want to do things I want to perform I want to sing I want to see things!!! I haven’t had the privilege of others to you know go out and do things I wanted to do because my family is so broken and I just want that. I don’t want to be smooshed down into a case and hung up on some CEOs huge wall of other people smooshed into cases.

I just...it feels like I’m running out of time. And its stressing me out. And making me sad.

And you know of course I have mental health issues like I don’t even know if I can be a functional person at all 24/7 so I don’t know how working full time is gonna be.

I’m just scared of failing in every area. Scared of not being good enough. Scared of running out of time. Scared of being defeated and having to just comply with the world.

And of course the no internet affecting my ability to do any of the things I enjoy, leaving me an empty shell of YouTube videos and video games out of obligation.

Also the fact that I cant afford an apartment even with s full time job, meaning I have to stay here in my dads house, miserable, for that much longer.

And just....there’s a whole lot. There’s a whole lot. I’m thinking about a bunch of stuff and I’m sad and it’s hard for me right now. So if I miss a day or two or a few...I’m sorry. Uh. Just know that it’s not bc I’m lazy it’s because I just really am not “feelin up to it right now”.

Sorry to dump my 2nd edition life story on yall but idk sometimes you just gotta share your feelings with a bunch of random strangers on the internet so they understand why you arent having the best time keeping up with your daily blog.

Edit: just watched the Nintendo direct and WOW SUPER SMASH BROS FOR THE SWITCH YEAAHHHHHHH

Also congrats, Toby. On your dream of getting undertale on the switch. And also making it onto a Nintendo direct woe.

There are 11 days until “Spring 2018”.

[fuckdavestriderheistheworst-blog]

you too buddy all the SO questions

ugh why damn it i did not ask to be punished by means of talkin about vantas until my fingertips bleed

but fine

Significant Other Asks

1. Tell the story about how you met.

it was over the summer about three years ago and tumblr kept pushing a certain blog at me and upon checking it out i decided to give him some troll asks (which looking back upon now were lame as fuck? what was i thinking honestly)

anyway that became me revealing my blog over tumblr and then lo and behold we had a college class together and we realized we were sitting beside each other and i told him that his major was an “easy major” or something and basically he hated me for a while there 

2. Was it a gradual increase of trust and love, or was there a specific moment where you knew “I want to be with this person for a long time”?

it was gradual for sure i went from picking on him to agreein to let him tutor me in english to craving his friendship and then falling in love with him without even realizing

before i knew it i was head over heels and here i am, happy as fuck that im dating my best friend

3. Describe their eyes. Describe their hands. Describe their laugh.

his eyes go from being like cinnamon to being like hot chocolate, in color accordin to lighting and in mood, his hands are warm and comforting to hold and are quick as all hell on a keyboard, and his laugh is rare but memorable, like its dusty from misuse and drizzled over with the annoyance i usually provide him

4. What’s your zodiac sign and mbti type? What about your partner’s? Do things like that reflect your actual compatibility or is it just bunch of bunk?

i had to google what my zodiac was because i think both of those things are bullshit but im a saggitarius and an isfp (or was it istp i dont remember its been years)

vantas is a gemini and...

i dont think he ever tested for it because he isnt internet quiz garbage but hey what does it matter without knowing his results i know that we are a fine match

5. Are you long distance? Have you met in person before? When do you get to see them again?

no, yes, and probably this evening when i bring back dinner

6. Tell me a story about a happy experience you two shared. Something that makes your heart warm whenever you think about it.

something that makes me feel really happy to remember is the new years eve after he got those color correcting glasses and i took him to watch the fireworks and he was so happy and amazed at the color and the show and i was so proud that i could do that for him

7. Tell me a funny story. Did they do something silly? Did you do something silly? Talk about your inside jokes.

one time i groaned into his ear and called him daddy to test and see if he had a daddy kink or not and he was SO into it so now im waiting to call him daddy again when he least expects it

8. Are your families supportive? Does it matter if they’re not?

yeah as far as i know both sides are

9. Would you ever have a pet together? Do you already have one?

we sort of have pets together but theyre also just kinda our own pets but with shared care 

10. Do you have children together? If not, are you both interested in raising children some day?

i dont really want kids and i dont think vantas does either like ever we arent even married and also having kids would be a hassle

11. If they’re having a bad day, what do you do to help?

i usually just sit and talk to him and support him like a friend and boyfriend should do its not really anything special but it works every time

sometimes i surprise him with relatively cheap gifts or food too but he doesnt like me splurgin so i try not to make him uncomfortable

12. If you’re having a bad day, what do they do to help?

same thing really hes always there for me to make me feel better and talk things through 

13. What’s something that your partner does that would be annoying if anyone else did it, but it’s cute when they do it?

scolding me like he is a third parent, somehow its endearing when he does it

14. Have you ever went on a vacation or adventure together? Tell me about it. If not, do you have plans to do something fun in the future?

yeah weve gone on a few sort of technically 

that one road trip to texas we took and spent a while on

the trip to malibu

were planning (or i am) for a trip to europe this summer if its at all possible with our schedules

15. What’s something that you learned about yourself because of being with your partner?

that im enough just being who i am and that i can have a relationship without cash at the forefront

16. What’s a piece of advice that your partner gave you that has resonated with you?

you dont have to bend over backwards for somebody to please them or make them like you just be yourself

not the exact wording but that is the moral

17. Which one of you kills the bugs (or captures the bugs and places them safely outside)?

we take turns but i dont like to kill them unless theyre wasps or venomous spiders id prefer to catch and release

19. Do you prepare meals together? Does one person enjoy cooking more than the other?

neither of us can cook for shit so other people prepare our meals for us always

20. What are the best restaurants to go to? Do you see movies at the theater? Do you do things like golf or bowling, just to bond more?

i like taco bell and pizza hut, yes, and i dont think weve ever done either

21. Tell me about a time that you got into an argument over something silly.

we used to get aggressive over gay chicken sometimes early on in our friendship that was always fucking ridiculous

22. Tell me about a time that you got into an argument over something serious. How did you compromise? What did you learn?

one time vantas said he was disappointed in me and i took it hard and im pretty sure it ended with him leaving but i dont remember what brought it on or how serious vantas had been or how sensitive i had been

we got over it. not sure i learned any super moral from that but it did help me learn about him better in the long run and vice versa

23. Is there a famous couple, fictional or otherwise, that reminds you (or other people) of you and your partner?

will and jada pickett smith

24. Do you have a shipname?

vantder i dont know 

maybe film boyfriends because he writes and i sort of direct

27. Do you have extremely similar personalities and interests? Or extremely opposite? Or is it a balance that just makes sense? How do you try to better understand each other? Do you ever have to experience things you’re not interested in, or vice versa?

we sort of click here and there but mostly our interests are different 

i know he isnt super into art but he shows up to support me like he went to the award event with me and said he was proud of me and i like to offer up romcoms and movies akin to his interests when we settle in for date nights

he is supportive as hell but i dont think either of us have ever made a point of saying we arent interested in the other’s interests

28. Has your partner ever changed one of your opinions on morals, politics, society, etc?

he helped me to be better about takin school seriously so id say yes 

he has also changed my opinion about myself almost completely

29. Tell me about a time that you were really proud of them.

when he got that book deal i was so happy i felt like huggin on him for days

i knew he could do it and it made me real proud to know that he did it and i am STILL proud of him

30. Does physical affection and/or sexuality have a role in your relationship? Are both of your needs being respected and fulfilled?

yeah both are heavily involved and fuck i hope so im not sure how much more i can step up my game

31. How often do you talk? On the phone, Skype, in person? Are you two the type that stays up too late because the conversation is too good to end?

we talk all the goddamn time and basically never leave each others side

i know i regularly stay up hells of late talking to him because i like it so much

talks get so much deeper at night when youre curled up next to somebody you love

32. Talk about your sense of humor, and your partner’s. Do you laugh a lot together? Which one of you is funnier?

were both assholes with sarcasm as our main crutch and im pretty sure we have both laughed at the others expense at one point or another but i would have to say that we are damn near a tie because both of us have a pretty deplorable sense of humor stand up comedy will not be in our futures any time soon

33. Is there anyone who doesn’t like the idea of your relationship? What’s the reason? How do you and your partner overcome disapproval from others?

no i cant think of anybody who is against our relationship

nobody that matters anyway

34. Have there been any hardships that have ultimately brought you closer than before?

i mean i hit my head and got retrograde amnesia and still had feelings for him so i think that eliminated any doubt i developed feelings just because of sex

i didnt remember it and i still loved him

35. What’s their contact name in your phone?

vantas

36. Tell me about what your partner is good at. Are they an artist, are they good at math, do they play a sport, etc?

vantas has stamina when it comes to running and shit for DAYS i thought id die the first time i went running with him

hes also a really great writer and im not just saying that to be supportive i think if he sat down and wrote a book itd get a film adaptation nigh instantaneously

steven spielberg would shit himself

37. Get really sappy and gross for a moment. Be so gushy that your friends would groan in mock annoyance if you told them. What’s adorable about your partner? What makes your heart melt? What’s something cute that they did that you’ll always remember no matter what?

god i just fucking love his eyes and his lips and his hair and the way that he scoffs over dumb “rich guy” things and how good his coffee is when he makes it and how i can NEVER replicate it that good even when he guides me through makin it. i love the sound of his voice in the mornings and late at night when i should be asleep but am clinging onto him and talkin about nothing in particular. i love how he says my name and i especially love that hes the only one who really calls me by my last name so affectionately. i love the way he reads and i love the way he still looks a little too long at colorful things sometimes when we are outside and walking. i love the way his hand fits with mine and i love that we can reassure each other through anything, that we will be there for each other through anything. i can easily see myself spendin the rest of my life with him and if not as a boyfriend then as a best friend 

38. Let’s talk about life goals and hopes. Do you two have a similar idea for the future (regarding careers, getting a home, family, finding meaning)? Do you two make a good team? Can you imagine spending the rest of your life with them?

weve talked about moving in together or gettin a house but our careers are pretty up in the air right now except for vantas’ teaching job. i think we make a fuckin great team and id love to spend the rest of my life with him in any way shape or form

39. Reflecting on all of your experiences, what advice would you give to a young couple?

pick your best friend to fall in love with because youll never have a better love than that

40. Is your partner on tumblr? Tag them here and write them a small message, it can be anything.

@crimsongenetics hey vantas sorry for gettin all gushy here i hope i dont make you throw up at school i love you

“ BYE-BYE BOWERS, HELLO HOCKSTETTER ! “

REQUEST: stalker!patrick. so maybe he’s obsessed with the new girl in derry, creeps her out heaps, he notices she’s becoming close/flirty with a boy (maybe henry lol but thats up to you) and hes PISSED, because she is HIS property, so one day she’s walking home and he follows her, the parents arent home, NSFW content begins to boil~~ i will give you my entire life if its a super long story, this massive patrick fanfic shortage is destroying me, i love u btw, thanks for blessing us w/ ur writing.

A/N: pls don’t slut shame y/n for wanting a lil’ makeout here and there, girls are allowed to want those things too without being called sluts !!!! let your little hearts enjoy making out as much as the next boy does !!!!

The infamous Patrick Hockstetter wasn’t sure if it was the way Y/F/N oh so confidently carried herself through the crowded school halls on her first day, despite the ‘NEW KID’ label pasted all over her, oozing a level of confidence that he desperately desired to rip away from her. He wasn’t sure if it was the way each male gaze shamelessly lingered over her body a little too long when she wore that floral dress, evident that they were all harboring their own sinful thoughts based around the girl just like he was and making her an even better challenge; he’d have the girl every guy wanted in his hands including the girl Henry Bowers was currently infatuated with.

Patrick’s sick little game of making her his was no secret to Y/N, noticing the way he went out of his way to throw vile passes at her whenever his friends weren’t around and how his gaze hungrily took her in whenever she passed by him — mimicking the look a lion shot it’s future meal. It was a look that made her wish the hallway’s tiled floor would suck her in and take her far away from him, wishing she’d never have to be in the same vicinity as him ever again but that was near impossible.

Henry setting his sights on her not only made it harder to avoid Patrick but it made it far more difficult to remain under the radar since everyone knew Bowers had his eyes on her since the moment she stepped foot in the school; they just weren’t sure of the emotions behind his motives. To her, it was crystal clear what he wanted from her when he began cat calling her from his spot against his locker, his short-fuse always ticking when she would simply roll her eyes and continue walking away from him — unaware of the smile ghosting across the lips him and Patrick had dirty thoughts about when she was out of their sight.

As much as Henry Bowers wanted to ignore the way Patrick leered at the girl of his dreams like Y/N did, it was growing harder and harder when the thoughts that she might choose Patrick over him began crossing his mind. That petty insecure thought of having Hockstetter as competition fueled his frustration towards the girl ignoring him even more, causing him to have far more grumpy days than he’d like.

Though, those frustrating days were put to rest when he was rummaging through his mess of a locker for his knife, shutting the metal door once his search was done and revealing the face he’d think of whenever he got off at night waiting for him on the other side.

Pressing her mix textbooks and spiral journals closer to her chest in anticipation, Y/N flashed him a toothy smile and delivered a soft “Hi” in his direction. Henry froze in his shoes, not anticipating the girl’s sudden bravery and unsure of how to go about it; not one that’s particularly skilled in the female department, his friend’s not offering much help on their end as they were nowhere to be seen.

Unaware that one of his ‘friends’ actually was in the area, Henry went about the situation as best as he could manage, not noticing the daggers being shot at his back as Patrick watched the whole ordeal from the corner of the hall. Morbid thoughts of beating his friend to a pulp raced through his brain when he watched Y/N rip a sheet of lined paper from the glittery pink notebook and scrawl her number on it, handing it to Henry with a flirtatious bat of her eyelashes before turning on her heel.

Sucking in the inside of his cheek and biting it when Henry stuffed the note that belonged to him in his pocket, Patrick made it his goal of the day to bring it upon himself to remind Y/N who she actually belonged to. Once Henry was out of hall, probably heading off to the car since it dismissal, Patrick began following Y/N on her walk home with her friend; keeping a safe distance away from the gossiping pair.

“It’s good to have a little danger in your life every now and then.” Y/N laughed with her friend when she told her about who she gave her number to earlier, trying to convince her friend that it wasn’t as bad of an idea as she thought while they walked down the sidewalk together — unaware of the pair of dark eyes watching them from a few feet behind. “Plus a little makeout here and there isn’t so bad either.”

“It’s not only the fact that you went for Bowers of all people,” Lana, Y/N’s first friend at the school, scrunched her nose in disgust at Y/N’s taste in boys. “But you went for him when you know Patrick has a thing for you too, it’s like you’re asking for crazy psycho-boy drama in your life.” She exclaimed, using hand motions to further emphasize how reckless Y/N’s plan was; knowing that there would be no positive outcome with messing with that gang of boys.

Y/N shrugged, hooking her thumbs around the thick straps of her backpack and shooting her friend a knowing look. “We’ll hang out, we’ll makeout, and that’ll be it. Nothing more, nothing less.” Her words were spoken with such conviction that Lana almost believed her, almost, but she knew who Henry and Patrick were.

She knew Y/N was messing with deadly fire and was bound to get burned sooner or later, whether it be by Bower’s short temper or Hockstetter’s sickly ways.

“Alright but when it all blows up in your face, don’t you dare drag me into that crazy drama that’s gonna unfold.” Lana sighed in defeat and pointed an accusatory finger at her gal pal, knowing that Y/N’s freshness in the school didn’t allow her to fully realize who the Bowers’ gang was.

“That won’t be the only thing blowing up in my face.” Y/N shot her friend a suggestive smirk across her lip glossed lips once her brand new home came into view, raising her eyebrows before bursting out into laughter once she saw Lana’s disgusted expression painted across her pretty features.

“Gross.” Lana playfully pushed Y/N’s shoulder, not thankful for the visual image she got of her good friend and Henry Bowers together. “Be careful with him, with both of them.”

She sternly warned Y/N once more when they were a few steps away from her friend’s home, pulling her into a quick hug and feeling a cold front in her body when she thought she caught a glimpse of a familiar raven haired boy. Not being able to see it a second time, she shook her head at the stupid idea and smiled at her friend before parting ways.

“See ya!” Y/N called over her shoulder, fingers wrapping themselves around her black lanyard with her house keys and a hand waving goodbye to her friend. “Make sure to give me all the deets tomorrow!”

Upon entering her home, she was met with the familiar silence she always received after school, her parents always off at work. Kicking the door shut with her foot without locking the door, her first mistake of the night, she was eager to destress from school as she headed up to her room.

Lana’s words of caution rang in her head, ‘—with both of them’, the thought of double danger enticing her teenage hormones far more than it should. Tossing her backpack and lanyard to their designated corner of her room, Y/N headed over to her closet and began undressing from her school clothes in hopes of getting comfier but the figure looming at her doorway had other plans in mind.

Her jeans were barely pooling around her ankles when she felt a clammy hand fall over her mouth, the lipgloss providing a sticky barrier between her lips and the skin. Fingers played in between the strands of her hair as she felt the rough fabric of denim rubbing against the back of her exposed thighs, the cold touch of the metal from his belt buckle pressing against her lower back and his hot breath playing against the sensitive skin of her neck.

“It’s like you knew I was coming over, getting all ready for me to fuck you.” Patrick whispered in her ear, the sound of his voice causing her to squirm even more as his tongue began leaving a trail of saliva from her ear all the way down to her shoulder.

Y/N’s feelings grew conflicted as she tried to remind herself that this was not the boy she wanted, that she preferred having to take the direct route herself with Henry than having it taken on her like he was currently doing. Y/N’s body was betraying her, though, when she felt her back arch into his body as his hand moved from her hair to in between her thighs and his lips began leaving heavy kisses on her neck.

Shutting her eyes in a feeble attempt to shut out the pleasure he was giving her, she pushed her elbow back into his boner when his hand was inches away from her reaching the material of her underwear. Stumbling with an amused grin plastered on his face, the back of his hand wiped the saliva glazing his lips that were previously worshipping her skin as he looked down at the flustered half-dressed girl with intent to finish what he started — teaching her a lesson of who she belonged to.

“I swear to god if you don’t leave, I’ll call Henry right now and tell him that you’re here.” Y/N attempted her best to sound intimidating but it proved to be tough when you were standing in front of a boy who thrived on making your life hell. “He’ll kick your fucking ass.” She added once she noticed he wasn’t backing down, instead, his lanky figure was beginning to inch closer to her once again.

Y/N’s eyes glanced over at the pastel phone resting on the bedside table, remembering that Henry was due to call any moment and her situation wouldn’t sit well with him. The bedroom wall by her phone put an end to her small escape from Patrick, her body softly hitting the wall and forcing her to accept that her fate was in his hands now; despite this being her room and her home.

Eyes that could never match his amount of bad intentions met his oceanic ones that were deep in sin and misbehavior when he stood in front of her, his body towering over hers as his arm rested against the space above her and his hand aggressively cupped her face. His fingers pressed into her skin with a hostility that didn’t quite match the entertained smile on his lips as he forced her attention on him.

“I’ll tell Henry you begged me to fuck you, you little slut, and he won’t even think twice about putting you through some hell for ‘betraying him’.” Patrick threatened, enjoying the way her eyes widened at his words and her chest heaving up and down in anxiousness. “That kid is ruthless when it comes to things that he thinks belong to him. I think it has to do with his major daddy issues.”

“You wouldn’t.” Y/N breathed, not wanting to ruin her school life for herself so quickly; unaware that any sense of peace and fun at school was quickly stripped from her life when she decided to get involved with the boys, proving Lana’s words right. “You’re so fucking sick, Patrick.” She spat when he leered at her and innocently shrugged his shoulders at the idea of ruining her life, all because she gave Bowers her number.

Any statement lacking the sense of a threat escaping her lips was cut short when the shrill sound of her phone ringing filled the tense air, her gaze shifting over to Patrick as if asking for his permission to get the phone. Pushing her towards the phone with the hand placed on her chin, Patrick took a seat atop of the bedside table and next to the phone as she a hesitant hand on top of the phone, unsure if she should risk him saying anything into the phone to anger Henry.

“I’d suggest answering before it gets to a fourth ring, our little Henry isn’t the most patient guy in the world.” Patrick’s voice ripped her from the privacy of her thoughts, reminding her that the phone had already rung three times and she hadn’t picked it up yet.

“Hello?” Y/N nervously greeted the caller on the other end, keeping her watch on Patrick and twirling the cord of the phone with her index finger. “Henry, hey. Me? I’m not up to anything, what about you?”

Trying to sound calm and collected when danger was basically staring you right in the eye with a smile resembling the Cheshire Cat was proving to be far more difficult than she thought. Averting his gaze away from him, she hoped it would make the long awaited phone call go easier but it only made Patrick want to make it more difficult when she stripped him of her attention.

Patrick pushed himself off the wooden furniture and stepped back in front of her, aware that she couldn’t move away from him due to the phone cord being as little as his self-control. The way she spoke the other boy’s name with such glee in her tone infuriated him, his hands forcefully pushing her against the wall, the back of her head colliding with the bedroom wall with a hard thump and a pain-filled whine slipping out.

“Oh, I just tripped on a book, sorry. What were you saying about tonight?” Y/N saved her ass, quick to come up with an excuse for her the ‘ow’ the betrayed her and slipped out of her mouth.

Moving back to his previous position from a few minutes prior, Patrick laid his arm on the wall above her head, his free hand trailing up her inner thigh with a slowness that actually left her craving for him to speed up. Feeling his large hand curl around her upper thigh and squeeze, Y/N’s shaky breath hitched in the back of her throat.

“Y-Yeah, I’m totally up for it if you are, Henry.” Y/N’s sudden stuttering reminded Henry of the loser with the missing brother, any sign of the confident girl from the hallway gone and giving him the confidence boost he needed for himself as he gave her details for later.

Henry’s babbling about later was becoming irrelevant to her as Patrick pressed his slender fingers against her underwear, taking his time with each circular motion they made while his lips closed around the skin resting behind her ear lobe. Y/N’s grip around the curve of the plastic phone loosened when she felt him rob her off his heavenly touch, the hand between her thighs trailing around her lips as he slid two fingers in her mouth, coating them with her saliva before moving back between her legs.

“So, it’s a date?” Y/N interrupted Henry’s drawn out explanation on tonight’s events, the giddiness she felt earlier at the thought of hearing his voice on her phone diminishing each time Patrick’s nipped on the skin of her neck, the tip of his tongue trailing over the spot and towards the next with each nip.

“The guys will still be there so no but you can call it a date if you want.” Henry’s indifference towards a romantic date would’ve upset her earlier but now, with Patrick working on a hickey by her ear and his fingers sliding her underwear to the side, she didn’t seem to have a care in the world for Henry. “I know you’re not comfortable with Hockstetter so I could just not mention it to him, if you want.”

At the mention of his name, Patrick stopped working on the bruise he was giving her and waited for her to give what he deemed a correct response.

“Well…” Y/N teasingly trailed off, much to Patrick’s dismay but was quickly stumbling over a plea for Henry to reconsider when Patrick moved the free hand on the wall to her throat, his fingers quick to curl around her neck. “I actually don’t mind Patrick so it’s fine if he goes.”

“You sure?” Henry was confused by her sudden approval of the tall boy, vaguely remembering her mentioning how creepy she found him when they were talking in the hallway earlier.

Patrick’s fingers tightened around her throat when she took a second too long to reply to the boy on the other line, not wanting their facade to fall apart so easily. If anyone was going to be the bearer of news to Henry, it would be him and it would be face-to-face with a smug tone from him.

“Pa-“ What started off as a moan for the odd boy holding her down was cut off when she remembered she was on the phone, Patrick’s lips quirking up into a sick smirk at her almost slip up when he released her throat. “Patrick isn’t as bad as I thought, Henry, so it’s fine.” She weakly tried to explain, feeling his hand snake down to her side, gripping her hard enough to let her know he planned on leaving bruises on her body.

“What the hell is up with you, Y/L/N?” By now, Bowers was growing agitated by her strange behavior, a tiny part deep inside of him feeling as though it was his fault but the reality was much worse. “You’re acting weird as fuck right now.” His tone was terse and harsh, underlying times of insecurity there for anyone who cared to look.

“Sorry, Henry,” Y/N was quick to apologize, the feeling of Patrick’s fingers - coated in her spit - sliding in her with ease pushing her to end the conversation before she’d moan something she’d regret. “I’m just excited to see you is all, I mean it.” She was quick to choose something she knew would appeal to his bruised ego and she was right, his mood perked up immediately.

“Good, I’m picking you up in an hour.” The sound of Henry’s voice holding a grin in it made Patrick want to laugh, his demented brain already thinking of all the ways he’d rub it in his face that the girl wouldn’t even dream of being with him after he was done with her.

The click of the phone call ending was enough for Patrick to snatch the phone from her weak hold and slam it back into the receiver. His hand gripping onto her side quick to scoop her wrists in it and place them above her head, making her back arch as she craved for him to continue fingering her, his slender fingers going in nice and slow each time.

Moving from her neck to her soft lips, he pushed his lips against hers with an intensity that she could only label as animalistic, the insides of her lips pressing against her teeth. It wasn’t romantic or sweet by any means but it was good enough for the moment, her body more focused on the way he slid his fingers in an out of her than how romantic he was being with her.

“Patrick.” Y/N moaned his name between the fiery kisses, his lips parting from hers as he decided to take a look at his work, indulging in the sight of the girl’s shaking body beneath him; relishing in the fact at how fast he brought her down to him.

“That’s right. Say my name, not Bowers’. You’re mine, Y/N, all mine.” Patrick pulled the collar of her shirt down, attaching himself to the skin barely exposed by the wear of a shirt and beginning to leave his second hickey of the night, planning on it to be bigger than the last.

“Stop, he’s gonna see-“ Y/N protested but the idea of Henry seeing her that intimately just made him work faster on it, eager to crush the idea of those two ever being together. She quickly left the idea of stopping him when she felt that familiar sensation course through her body. “Shit.” She cursed under her breath when Patrick slid his fingers out of her, the material of her underwear sliding back into place and damp from how wet he left her.

Unwrapping himself from the shaking and bruised girl, he departed from him with eager thoughts of her breaking Henry’s heart later. “I’ll see you in an hour.” Patrick excused himself, shooting her only last satisfied glance before exiting her room.

*The President is seated at a desk, playing a Game Boy*

shinra: *takes a seat, smiling nervously*

Viktor: *sweating, as he takes his seat*

Hibana: *sits, crosses her arms*

Akitaru: "Thank you for agreeing to meet with us..."

kahono: *enters with some coffee and a slice of toast*

President: *staring at the Game Boy*

Viktor: Q_Q

Hibana: -_-;

shinra: *AHEM*

President: "Shhhhh. I'm fighting Tatanga."

Akitaru: "Um...Thank you for meeting with us on such short notice?"

Hibana: *facepalm*

kahono: sir, please focus.

President: "Hmm? Oh, it's you. Well, it's good you're here--if you want to continue to function as Fire Force Companies, you can't afford to make enemies with Haijima Heavy Industries."

Hibana: -___-; "I'm already on the Board of Directors, so I'm fine. But these fools are screwed."

shinra: *GULP*

Akitaru: "...Is that a threat?"

President: *sets down the Game Boy, stares at them* "I won't waste your time today, so let's get to the point: I want to form an alliance against the Preacher."

shinra: so you arent working with them then?

President: "Why would Haijima work with someone trying to destroy the world? There's no profit in that--trust me, we've looked into it: you can't make money if the world comes to an end. Did you know that? I didn't."

shinra: .....

President: "We extend this offer not lightly: we want something in exchange from you, Shinra Kusakabe."

shinra: and what is that?

President: "The Adora Burst--we want to see how it works."

shinra: for the record, i dont know how all it works 100% either.

President: "Which is why you will be residing here."

shinra: ??!!

kahono: sir-

President: "If Kusakabe agrees, I will suspend all testing on the children."

shinra: !!!!!

Hibana: "..."

President: "Not a bad deal, right?"

kahono: sir, if i may interject, i feel mr kusakabe has a right to live a normal life. he seems content with being in the 8th. i feel it wouldnt be fair to him to take that away from him...

President: "I am thinking about the good of this company and our shared desires to stop the Preacher: letting him have a 'normal' life compromises how quickly we can solve this problem, which costs us time and money."

shinra: hey, im not an object, you know.

President: "So you decline this deal?"

shinra: i....i need time to think about it.

President: "Ah, I get it--you're driving a hard bargain. Very well--if you join, I will cancel the assassination order I put out on Viktor Licht."

Viktor: "WHAT?!!"

shinra: .....

Akitaru: "This is insane--you are admitting that you were trying to murder one of my men? That does not convince me you are not in league with the Preacher. My investigations already point the finger at your organization having some relationship to the Preacher and the secret of Amaterasu."

kahono: commander oubi-

Akitaru: "Viktor, tell them."

Viktor: "We know there is something--someone--inside Amaterasu. We discovered that some inhuman is the real founder of the Holy Sol Temple. And it's not unreasonable you have some connection to the Preacher after your work with Giovanni and..." *glances at Hibana*

Hibana: *frowns*

kahono: .....

President: "So, because the Holy Sol Temple is founded by some inhuman, and because Haijima worked with the Temple to make Amaterasu, you suspect us?"

Viktor: "It's a reasonable assumption..."

President: "I will not ignore that Haijima breaks multiple laws to further our research. As you said, it is public knowledge we condoned--hell, we _approved_, Hibana's research with the Witch Shaula. Did you know that?"

shinra: !!!

Hibana: "..." *nods*

Viktor: "...Then the human inside Amaterasu--"

President: "Yes. We put a human inside Amaterasu to power it."

shinra:....*shakes and covers his mouth*

Akitaru: *puts a hand on his shoulder*

shinra:....i dont feel well.....

President: "It is thanks to her sacrifice that Death City enjoys an independent power source regardless of the multiple disasters that are visited upon this city--"

Akitaru: "You...monsters..."

President: "..." *goes back to his Game Boy* "Tell me, Commander. If you could've substituted yourself for your wife and daughter, would you?"

Akitaru: "..." *tosses the chair back, reaching across the desk--*

kahono: commander oubi-

Akitaru: *grabs the President by the tie--*

Secretary: *pulls out a gun, aims it at Akitaru's head* "Let go."

shinra: !!!!!!!!

kahono: !!!!!

Hibana: *has a fan to the Secretary's neck* "You first, bitch."

Viktor: *hiding under his chair*

kahono: ok everyone, take a deep breath and think happy thoughts.

President: "..." *nods to the Secretary*

Secretary: "..." *lowers the gun*

Hibana: "I'm not putting the fan down, so keep talking, _sir_."

Akitaru: *glaring at the President*

President: "As I was saying, we want to keep Amaterasu running. That is why we need someone else with the Adora Burst..."

shinra: ........

President: "Mr. Kusakabe...With your Burst, we could save the lives of millions depending on energy..."

secretary: why him and not the kurai girl. doesnt she also possess the burst?

shinra: !!!!!

President: "Good question--too many lawyers, too much money."

shinra:......

President: "But you don't have that problem, Mr. Kusakabe. And we know you have a hero complex--a desire to save others. I would think you would be willing to give up your own life as a firefighter to save someone else, yes?"

shinra: ....if it came down to it, yeah....

Akitaru: "No."

shinra: commander?

Akitaru: "You undervalue your own life to think you have to throw it away...when you know your survival means you can save more lives."

kahono: he's right. you have so much potential, it'd be a waste to throw it all away.

Akitaru: *pats Shinra's shoulder* "So let's do more than just sacrifice ourselves...Let's save lives."

???: sir, you arent allowed in there!

*the door is knocked down--along with a security guard*

kahono: oh goodness.

Vulcan: "I HEARD EVERYTHING--AND I CAN BUILD A NEW AMATERASU THAT WON'T NEED ANY HUMAN SACRIFICES!"

kahono: how ambitious, that's a joseph for you.

President: "??? Joseph? Oh, let him speak."

Vulcan: "I DON'T NEED YOUR PERMISSION TO SPEAK! WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU, ANYWAY?!"

shinra: there's a name tag right there.

-the name plate on the desk reads 'Gureo Haijima'-

Vulcan: "...Wait, this guy's the president?" *looks around* "...The hell is with all the video game systems?"

Gureo: "You say you can build Amaterasu without sacrificing one person?"

Vulcan: "Huh? Oh, yeah--I can do that! I've seen enough creatures die off for 'progress,' and I won't let you bastards kill more people!"

Akitaru: "I think you should pursue this plan, _sir_. It'd be less illegal and not get Shinra killed."

Gureo: "...Would it cost much?"

Vulcan: "I just need the equipment and parts!"

Gureo: "No pay?"

Vulcan: "I don't need your blood money!"

Gureo: "Okay, it's a deal. We won't sacrifice Kusakabe to Amaterasu."

shinra: and the kids and viktor?

Gureo: "Like I said, we'll cancel the assassination order on Licht."

Viktor: *passes out* XwX

shinra: just like that?

Gureo: "Just like that..." *sets down the Game Boy, showing a microphone on it*

shinra:....what's the catch?

Gureo: "The catch is we will not suspend child testing."

kahono: rest assured, the kids are being taken well care of. i've made sure of that, sir.

Akitaru: "..."

Gureo: "It would be a waste not to learn as much as we can about their abilities."

shinra:....as long as you arent hurting anyone, im alright with this.

kahono: shall i show them out, sir?

Gureo: *nods* "Yes, please. I have other meetings to attend to..." *pulls out a 3DS* "...Oh, darn--I missed my house visit with Hambo..."

-as they walk outside, shinra spots tatsu, who waves to him-

shinra: *waves back*

Kurono: *watching* "..."

kahono: that reminds me, i wanted to give you something, shinra. *hands him a paper* i photocopied this drawing that tatsu did last night.

-the drawing is of him, shinra, kahono, kurono, puppet girl, and the other kids-

shinra:.....*smiles*

Akitaru: "Shinra? Hibana is going to drive us to the hospital..."

shinra: !! r-right...

Arthur: "Always be on the look-out for interlopers..."

maki: how're you holding up?

lisa: the coat's a bit heavier than i was expecting.

Arthur: "It is modified for different people depending on ability. For example, I need to be able to swing my arms, so the fabric there is lighter."

lisa: ah. so i guess im just using a standard issue coat right now?

maki: pretty much. but we can always have something custom made for you.

Arthur: *nods* "Sister Iris modifies some of the coats, so you can ask her later."

lisa: i see.

maki: i helped shinra with his pants....that sounds weird saying it out loud.

lisa: ^^; come to think of it, you and iris helped vul with tamaki's new uniform, right?

maki: yep!

Arthur: "..." *looks down*

lisa:...hey, you alright arthur?

Arthur: "...I should have considered more what she was feeling."

lisa: ??

Arthur: "...Since leaving the First, she has never completely gotten over what happened..."

lisa:.....

maki:.....

Arthur: "Perhaps we should have asked her to sit out that mission..."

lisa:...maybe i could talk to her? i dont know what all happened, but maybe i could help?

Arthur: "...Right, I forgot--you too have experiences with betraying someone's trust--you're perfect for this task!"

lisa: *GLARES* you get a 2 minute head start.

Arthur: "??? Then what happens?"

maki: *GASP* look! the new wan-wan-nyan mascot keychains are out!

lisa: !! *looks*

hibiki: *wince* yeah....sorry.

zeke: ^^;

Sid: "Your weapons are not what we classify as returnable weapons, like boomerangs. If you're going to use Axel and Zeke effectively, then your weapons need to think up a way to be recoverable."

Axel: "..."

zeke:....

hibiki:....understood, sir.

Sid: *nods* "I've set up some lessons tomorrow with Giriko for you. Let's see..." *reviewing notes* "Izumi and Asher."

izumi: yes sir?

Sid: "The first rule when facing a threat is survival: if you die out there, you're not going to be able to save anyone else. Asher had the right idea to make sure you didn't both go flying up in the storm."

izumi: t-thanks for that, asher.

Asher: "Um...you're welcome...sure."

Sid: "Where I see a flaw is what to do next--because Asher is a close-range weapon, and against Jinn, you'd be dead."

izumi: *gulp* ._.;;;

Sid: "You were acting in your meister-weapon teams, like Lukas and Saria rescuing a classmate..."

lukas: *nod*

Monica: *grunts*

amelia: understood.

Sid: "That's why we have to expedite your training. Some of you have already had combat experience, like that plant monster attack some time ago. Now we're moving on with chain resonance."

hibiki: that's a resonance between multiple teams, right?

Sid: "Correct. More specifically, the meisters need to get their souls in sync with each other."

lukas: ah...

Sid: "I'll put you into your 3-meister teams tomorrow, and we'll have you working with me, Naigus, Giriko...So you'll need to really focus on teamwork and not just running around willy-nilly."

Kazue: -_-;

amelia: understood.

Jinn: "Zubaidah and I also will be assisting meisters and weapons with improving their resonance."

Derek: *tightening his jaw*

lord death: well, some arrangements have been made, and we were considering giving you a transfusion, and putting ragnarok into a separate body.

Crona: "A new body? ...But if Ragnarok is my blood, what will happen to me?"

lord death: you'll recieve new blood. how it will affect you, im not certain, but hopefully it will be an improvement to you, in a manner of speaking.

Crona: "...What if the body rejects Ragnarok? What will happen to him?"

lord death: it's an uninhabited body, so im sure he'll adapt just fine.

Asher: "Huh. Being a Death Scythe lets you take on multiple forms?"

Jinn: *changing forms again* "Or depending on the weapon type--you may have one with multiple properties."

hibiki: yeah, take harudori for instance. she's officially classified as a halberd, but she's a tri-blader.

Saria: "Neat! I'm not sure we have many multi-formers here, though. I can only go into whip form, not, like whip and...something not whip. Um...Nunchucks?"

lukas: sure, let's go with that. ^^

Saria: ^^; *nervous laugh*

Jinn: "The goal, however, is to be powerful even in the simplest form..." *turns back into a lamp, just sits there*

Shinra: "You've seemed worried...Is it about the Preacher?"

iris:....i guess im not very good at hiding things, am i?

Shinra: ^^; "I wouldn't expect a nun to lie."

iris: .....

Shinra: "S-Sorry! It was just a little...humor. S-Sorry...I like that about you...You're open and honest."

iris: t-thanks... *wipes her eyes*

Shinra: "Iris...We don't know everything about the Preacher or this story."

iris: i-i know....i just....i had a hard time focusing on the baptism today.......shinra, what do you think of the sol church? be honest, please....

Coyote: *spots Lei-Lei and Genny* "..." *grins--and leaps at them*

lei-lei: !!!!! *blade arm*

genny: NOO!!!

Coyote: *its mouth opens...into four parts, baring fangs and a slithering tongue--*

amelia: !!!! STOP! *her wavelength seems to be increasing?*

Coyote: *has pounced on Lei-Lei--but has turned back to look at Amelia*

nygus: ?! (her wavelength...it's almost like.....no, she couldnt be, could she?)

Sid: "Nygus..."

amelia: *glaring at it.* stand. down.

Coyote: "..." *gets off of Lei-Lei, but circles around Amelia, alternating between yips and growls*

amelia: *watching, shaking a bit, but standing her ground*

Monica: "Now's our chance--do it!"

Coyote: *barks at Amelia, moving forward and backward at Amelia*

yolanda: *gulps and starts running for it*

Monica: *grins in her weapon form--*

Sid: "?!!! NO! Don't--"

Coyote: *it's tail unrolls like a gear--as it wraps around Yolanda's leg*

yolanda: !!!!

Coyote: *the tail swings Yolanda away, as she loses her grip on Monica, who lands in the sand*

Monica: "...Da fuck?!"

yolanda: nngh...

Monica: "..."

{Monica: "I want to be like you, big bro!"}

Monica: "..." *reverts to human form, with her machete arm* *stalks up to the Coyote...*

Coyote: *focused on Amelia*

amelia: .........

Coyote: *barks at Amelia, careful how close it marches up to her*

hibiki: what's she doing? she's just standing there...

Coyote: *gets up within leaping-range of Amelia...crouches down, readying itself to pounce at her*

Monica: "Almost there..."

Coyote: *leaps*

amelia: !!!

Monica: *leaps at the Coyote*

*then something big and furry tackles the Coyote*

Monica: "?!" *crashes face-first into the sand*

Kanin: *in werewolf form has tackled the Coyote, using a choke-hold on it*

Coyote: *desperately trying to move, its tongue sliding out like a snake's*

amelia: !!!! kanin!

Giriko: *pushing the kids away* "Move it!"

*a sand tornado forms in front of the kids*

izumi: EEEP!

Asher: *helping Zeke walk to the tornado* *gulp*

zeke: i feel sick, bro.

Axel: "It-It's going to be okay, bro..." Q_Q

hibiki: come on, let's go!

Kanin: *trying to choke the Coyote*

Coyote: *slithering--until it gets out of its grip, stretching its neck until it's sniping at Kanin's face*

amelia: no stop!

Kanin: *barks back at it--before it grabs the Coyote's snout in one hand and its hind legs in the other hand*

Coyote: *wiggling*

Kanin: *barks back at it--before it grabs the Coyote's snout in one hand and its hind legs in the other hand*

Coyote: *wiggling*

Kanin: *growling, as it tugs harder at the Coyote--*

Monica: ("I'm not letting you get all the credit...") *runs at them--and brings her blade down at the Coyote, slicing it in half*

lei-lei: *carrying genny to the tornado*

Kanin: "?!!!" *falls back...on all fours, glaring at Monica, his glance shifting everywhere at Sid, Nygus, and Amelia...*

Derek: *waving Lei-Lei and Genny forward* *looking around* "I've counted everywhere...We're missing one."

amelia: are you alright?

nygus: where's armstrong?

*The coyote's remains lie motionless*

Kanin: *growling...he's staring at Amelia, huffing and puffing...*

*in a tent, someone is shivering in fear*

amelia:....*hugs* it's ok, im fine, really.....

Duncan: *shaking* "N-No...Just stay here. Just stay here..."

Kanin: *growls at Amelia, barking*

*there's black blood on Kanin's face...The Moon is giggling above*

Monica: *gets up, looking at Kanin and Amelia* "...Hmph. Is that all it took to take down a Kishin? That's pretty simple..."

amelia:......*wipes the blood away*

Kanin: *still barking at Amelia, sniping at her*

Monica: "??? The hell is with him?"

amelia:.....you really arent leaving me any choice, are you?.......very well.....*CHOP* bad kanin. bad.

*the coyote's back half is motionless...but no one can see a hind leg kicking slightly...

Kanin: "?!" Q_Q *dog whimper*

Monica: "Ha! That's one way of dealing with a mutt..."

amelia: *glances behind monica* !!!! behind you!

Monica: "?!" *swings her arm blade--*

*It's too late: the Coyote's front half has tackled Monica...as black blood pours out of it*

Monica: "?!!!!"

{Monica: *in her school uniform, prim and proper, looking up at the DWMA stairs* "..." *inhale* "Okay, big bro. Let's do this."}

Monica: *screams--until she's silent, the black blood completely covering and consuming her...*

????: get OFF OF HER!!

Duncan: *still hiding in the tent, shaking*

-WHACK-

Sid: *has knocked the back of BlackBlood!Monica's head with a tombstone, shattering it* "Let go!"

BlackBlood!Monica: "..." *stands up, turns...her face is a coyote-like snout, snake-like eyes, gear-like appendages along the shoulders...it's like a being of just blood...the blood forms two arm blades* "..." *slices Sid*

Sid: "?! ..." *his top half falls off*

nygus: !!!!! shit!

Sid: *has fallen forward, now sliced at the hip*

izumi: mr barrett!!

BlackBlood!Monica: *lets out an inhuman chittering...looks at Kanin and Amelia* "..." *blades out, rushes at them, moving swiftly*

Asher: *still holding up Zeke* "Izumi! Get out of there!"

Kanin: "?!" *pushes Amelia away--and runs at Monica, barking*

izumi: .....*runs in* we cant leave them behind!

Monica: *slices at Kanin, slicing off their arm*

Kanin: *bites into Monica's shoulder, black blood coating his mouth--before he flings Monica into Duncan's tent*

Duncan: "EEEEEEEK!"

izumi: duncan! take my hand!

Duncan: *screaming incoherently--trying to avoid Monica's slices and Kanin's clawing and bites...his arms reach out of the tent*

izumi: *grabs and pulls him out* ok, now go! hurry!

Sid: *standing up on his arm* "...Nygus, could you pick me up. I'm going to need some help with this next part."

nygus: ok

Duncan: *holding onto Izumi's arms, running with her, sobbing*

Kanin: *pins Monica down*

izumi: i guess we're even now, huh?

Monica: *mouth opens, revealing the slithering tongue, striking at Kanin's face*

Duncan: Q_______Q "...Wh-What the hell is that thing?!"

izumi:....monica.....you go ahead. im going to try and save her.

Duncan: "Are you insane?!! Leave her! She's dead now!"

izumi: i can at least try to help her!

Duncan: "..."

{???: "At least try for once in your life, Duncan!"}

Duncan: "..." *lets go* "G-Good luck..." *runs off*

izumi: ok. (what am i doing? am i really crazy?).....*bites her lip* (if i dont help her, then who will? no. i have to do it. maka...she would have done the same....wouldnt she?) *runs in*

Kanin: *trying to pin Monica down--only for her to slip out of his reach--*

Monica: *stabs blades into Kanin's back*

amelia: kazue, transform!

Kanin: *howls in pain, desperately trying to bite at her arms*

Kazue: *does so*

amelia: *runs in*

Monica: *focused on Kanin, stabbing repeatedly into him, exposing his spinal cord*

Kanin: *pants, barking mindlessly, biting into her arm*

amelia: take this! *spinning at monica, slicing at her* ~DEATHMARCH WALTZ!~

*the slice rips black blood off of Monica's face, revealing her eye and mouth*

Monica: *looking terrified* "B-Bro..."

Kanin: *turns around, trying to bite at Monica's neck*

izumi: hey! monica! fight it!

Monica: *turns at Izumi...the blood falls back over her face, as she grows silent again and aims a blade at Izumi*

izumi: *throws a rock at her*

Kanin: *gets up, spinal cord still revealed, watching*

amelia: kanin, stop!

Monica: "?!" *slices the rock in half...runs at Izumi*

Kanin: *growling--and bites at Amelia*

izumi: *running* (come on, think!)

amelia: *jumps back, her dress ripped around the waist......revealing two black stripes*

Monica: "ALBAAAAAARN!" *slithers along the ground, alternating with a four-leg run at her*

Kanin: *chewing through the dress's skirt, eyeing Amelia...spits out the skirt, on all fours, stalking at her*

Kazue: "..."

amelia:.....kanin.....you arent....the only one hiding something.....

Kanin: *growls* *getting into position to pounce again, salivating*

amelia: you probably cant hear what im saying, but please, come back.

izumi: *running, but trips on a rock* AH!

Kanin: *he looks gone...leaps*

Monica: *leaps, blades out, aiming at Izumi's head--*

izumi: *rolls to the side*

amelia:....*takes a breath....and starts singing?*

Monica: *slams the blades to the side of Izumi, then turns her head to stare at Izumi, snakelike eyes narrowing before her mouth opens, the tongue slicing towards Izumi*

Kanin: *pins Amelia down, open his mouth to bite into her neck...then hears the song...*

{Kanin: *humming*}

{amelia: *asleep* nn....papa....}

{Kanin: "..." *tucks her in, continues to sing quietly*}

izumi: come on, snap out of it already!!

Monica: "WEAKLING!" *slice* "NEPOTISM!" *tongue strike* "YOU'RE ONLY HERE BECAUSE OF FAMILY!"

{Monica: *knocked down a flight of stairs* *looks up*}

{Bully: "You're only here because of your brother!"}

{???: what a poser.}

{Monica: *sniffle...then her stare gets colder, as she turns her arm into a machete* " 'Poser'? I'll show you..." *runs up, screaming*}

Monica: *runs at Izumi, swinging her blade*

izumi: *dodging, one of her ponytails getting sliced off*

Monica: *SCREAMS* *lifts up both blades, bringing them down at Izumi*

izumi: !!!! im only here because of family? then what are _you_ here for, huh?!

*the blades come down--just stopping right above Izumi's eyeballs*

izumi: *flinches*

Monica: "... ... ...Bro-Bro..." *the black blood bubbles*

izumi:.....your brother....he's a DWMA student too, right?

Monica: *the black blood melts away just at her eyes* "The best..."

izumi:...i'd call you a hypocrite, but that wont do either of us any good right now.....

Monica: "?!!!" *the blood covers her eyes again, but the mouth opens, revealing a mess of muscles and teeth* "YOU MAKING FUN OF ME?!" *her arms are blades again, but she's stepped back now*

izumi: actually...im a bit envious of you, all things considered. you got to meet your sibling. got to really know them.....i never got a chance to meet maka.

Monica: *slight pant, still stepping back* "Th-Then why do you do this? If you never met a dead person, what do you have to compare yourself to?" *still stepping back, but her blade swings are more erratic, as if not aiming at Izumi*

izumi: ....i guess, i want to feel close to her. maybe i just want my life to have some kind of meaning.....you know spirit's actually my step-dad, right?.....

Monica: "...I don't know shit about you, Albarn. I just know you piss me off..." *the blood has fallen off her face completely but still coats the rest of her*

izumi: .....my birth father is dr rodigy.

Monica: "And I should know who that is?" *more of the black blood pulls away*

izumi: most people would......he was....a really horrible man. i was used as a test subject for his experiments. mom and i came to death city to escape from him. i wanted to get him out of my life, more than anything. i wanted to live a happy life, but if i ignore my past, then i cant improve myself for my future, can i?

Monica: "..." *dissolves the blades* "You don't want to ignore your past, but you change your name? That's kind of a fucked up inconsistency...But I get that. Why take on the name of some abusive shitbag."

izumi: yeah, i guess so. you know, when you arent being mean to me, you're actually kinda cool.

Monica: "?!!! The hell is that coming from?!" >\\\\> "Don't fucking condescend to me, you weak brat..." *the black blood has almost all fallen off of her, along with the gears left from Gruk*

Sid: "I don't think he would know even this..." *looks at the coyote's remains...it's decomposing* "Looks like the blood got away."

nygus:....we should have the area quarantined for now.

Sid: "And the students, unfortunately. We don't know how much blood got on them."

Giriko: *looking at Gruk's remains* "..." *there's still black blood on them*

zubaidah: you can always make another one.

Giriko: "I-I know that! Doesn't change the work I put into this one. Gruk should've been able to handle that thing. Now I need to strengthen his design."
