good Lord, today's episode is even better :'( oh, wow... i've not felt this deeply for a drama since love for love's sake... oh, God. this episode overwhelmed me in the best way possible. it's brilliant! everything about it!
the tension between tian and wang is slowly dissipating as they've reached common ground. when tian says he wants to look forward and don't mull over the past [somehow insinuating his desire to embark on this new journey with sheng wang T_T]. AND THEN! the whole 'jiang tian doesn't unpack his luggage' because he never has a sense of home/belonging... fish paste!!! that's like piercing a dagger into my soul... i just know, at that moment, the angst will be delicious.
this drama has me in a tight chokehold and i'm enjoying the pain :') it's so good... oh, Lord. i'm so obsessed with this drama it's worrying...

oh my GOD I’m going through ur roadtrip playlist and am loosing my mind over fergalicious
like just imagining it coming on in the car
will being all jumpy and excited
and nicos like ??? wtf ?? is this???
and then the words start and will is spitting out every line all cocky and very animatedly singing to nico like blowing kisses to him with the track “muah muah”, doing little air hammer curls on each “i be up-in the gym- just workin- on my- fitness” and then reaches over motioning to nico “he’s my witness” just very sassy playful and soo so into it.
and nico would try to tease at first like “oh my gods will turn this off” but quickly become very flustered and entranced
i feel like either driving would be grEAT
it’s either nico trying to keep his eyes and attention on the road as will is singing and dancing and trying to rope him into it
or it’s will doing too much while driving, using one hand while the other is flailing about and he’s twisting all around but is still driving excellently, and nico kind of wishes he wasn’t because then he’d have a valid reason to shout at him to cut it out for real, because he’s not sure he’s going to live through the end of the song with the way the butterflies in his stomach are going insane, twisting almost as violently as will is dancing and he’s just rlly not sure he’s going to make it
and then the lil interlude + rap comes on
and nico’s gone for, he’s sure of it
and will’s oblivious
jumping to turn it up even more
so SO sassy
“honey get some patience, maybe then you’ll get a taaahste”
“taystay tastah”
nico is dying, and-
“-drama lil mama I don’ wan’ a take yur man”
is that his country accent??? slipping out?? yes- it is.
nico is simply,
dying.
will is having a blast though, in his own little word
except nico is fully in this world, because will is genuinely performing to him
and he might need to bury his face in his hands if the song doesn’t end soon
,,
i got waaay too carried away with this lmfao :,)
its so long??? im so sorry😭😭
i LOVE ur writing and i LOVE how u write them
so if u do this, ill eat it up in any way u do it
this is just me rambling as i listen to fergalicious over and over
thx for the stellar playlist
enjoying it lots
muah! muah!
LMFAO YES AGREED CONSIDER THIS CANON!!!! only tweaking it to add a detail i haven’t fully revealed yet — nico’s sister was killed because of a drunk driver when he was little. aside from jules-albert, he doesn’t EVER let anyone drive him around. will is v much passenger princess in that vehicle keeping nico thoroughly distracted lmfao

hi i just started watching that 911 show in the background while working thinking it would be a basic cop show/procedural drama i could play for white noise to boost my productivity like i did with all six seasons of SWAT (shout out to shemar moore’s overly passionate pecs and BECAUSE SWAT IS FAMILY speeches and that one ryan and shane cameo for getting me through my job onboarding months ago) and avoid the attention issues i get with british legal and cop dramas (shout out to the current loml rupert penry jones on silk and whitechapel, his roles as clive reader and di chandler are iconic)
and like yes. 911 is exactly that. so cringey. so feel warm-y and trite in the worst ways possible, filled with random monologues, oddly paced and placed one-liners, random quote intros that desperately try to replicate the word bangers of criminal minds, unnecessary flashbacks interspersed in the worst episode arcs ever and completely destroying the suspense, and with the weirdest combination of over-acting and under-acting in the entire fucking world that i have ever seen, and some entire scenes i just cannot stand to watch but do anyway because of how unrealistic and ridiculous they are but oh my god when this show hits its high points, it hits them
i need angela bassett’s athena grant to come and railroad my life. i want her to point her finger in my face and threaten to cuff me to my bed like she did that boyfriend in that season one episode (and yes THAT HAPPENED THANK GOD THE BUCK CENTRIC SEXY SCENES DID NOT LAST AS LONG AS SOME OTHER SHOWS COUGH SWAT COUGH BUT WHY NO MORE ATHENA?) you my friends have not lived until you’ve seen her on the other end of a huge tv screen raising her eyebrow and acting like she’s about to beat you up with nothing more than her commanding tone.
and also like all the other fucking characters.
i watched this show hoping to have inane drama and dialogue watching over me while i send emails and plan. i did not watch this show to bite my nails over maddie buckley’s psycho ex husband storyline, nor to swoon over the romance between to her and chimney (howard han i would die for you, your bg episode was so sad but so beautiful and if you had died i wouldve been so sad, yours were the flashbacks that won me over), nor to fangirl over ROBERT FUCKING NASH AND HIS GUILT COMPLEX (I LOVE YOU BOBBY), or to have my heart grow three sizes with the fucking tsunami episode
like you guys, i was on the edge of my seat, eating my dinner and actually wondering if they were about to kill off christopher diaz and break my heart and buck’s heart and ruin everything and like they didnt but now evan buckley’s character growth is such an inspiration and i just dont want him to fuck it up by trying to go back to work early and ahhhhhhhhhhh this was supposed to be a casual watch but now im writing this so im gonna have to find something else or worse go back to watching silk or whitechapel in the bg and be enraptured by rupert

Darling, Never Stop Haunting Me (Spawn Astarion x F! Ghost Reader)
 Chapter Four: Regrets
Synopsis: You wake up in a place you've never seen before and shit hits the fan pretty quickly.
CW: Mentions of unwanted touch, gore, violence, mentions of child loss (Victoria)
Disclaimer- put together the picture for the banner, but I do not own any of the pictures. Birdie's 'image' is a stock image. I will not describe the readers body in detail- she is just merely on the banner for ✨drama✨. I believe the picture of Astarion is from @cheekylittlepupp . And then the symbol of Orcus in the back is a free image off the internet.

Chapter Three : Chapter Five: AO3
Tumblr media
 When you wake up again, your head is spinning and there is a man leaning over you with a smile on his face- he’s dressed head to toe in Paladin gear and there is a boot print with a compass insignia on his chest. The man is pretty, his skin has a slight bluish tint to it, but otherwise it’s more caramel colored, and he has a goofy, boyish grin. His hazel eyes bore into yours and his black messy hair frames his face. 
 Astarion would distrust him immediately.
 Your head is throbbing and your abdomen still feels the ghost of the arrow going through your much smaller form. Yet, all you can think about is getting back to Astarion as soon as possible. You will destroy the world if you have to if it means being by his side again. 
 “Welcome to the City of Manifest!” he yells with excitement. 
  The city of what now?
“Oh no- I need to g-“
  “Come on, get up, I have places to show you!” the man says, “my name is Brayden- a Wyst Paladin, most beautiful human you will ever meet, and,” he turns around with his arms wide, “certified tour guide for the newly dead!”
 Newly dead? You’ve been dead for a few centuries now. Wait, are you?
 “Dead!? Like gone gone?” you begin to panic, “no- I can’t! I- I have someone waiting for me to come back!”
   Your whole body begins to shut down- the air you don’t need being dragged into you in quick harsh gasps from panic. You can’t be gone. You can’t be! 
  You hope Astarion is okay- maybe you aren’t too far away from where you died? You did just kind of show up here- you thought you would have been dragged into the Ethereal Current.
  “Oh don’t fret! I’m sure they are on their way now- the City is not that far from wherever you died since you woke up here instead of in the good ole current,” the man continues to march towards the gates of the City, “people often come and live here with their passed loved ones or you can purchase a Manifesting Ring and be a solid humanoid outside of the City.”
“Solid?” you ask in confusion. 
“Notice how you can feel the breeze?”
  You pause and a small gust of wind kisses your face. Your hand goes hesitantly to your cheek- you actually felt the wind. Maybe you didn’t really notice because you were able to feel the wind as a cat anyhow so it wasn’t something you had to miss for too long.
“Wow,” you whisper.
 You slide off your shoes and put your feet in the freshly rained on grass- a laugh of delight escapes your lips. You are genuinely truly solid.
 Something sparks to life inside of you and all of the ‘What Ifs” begin to swirl around in your heart- making you positively giddy.
 This means that you have a chance- an honest to Gods chance- at being romantically involved with Astarion. You jump and shout- running across the grass with your shoes in hand and Brayden chasing after you. You don’t stop until you hit the gates- breathless, but with no use for air.
 It’s incredible. The ache in your legs, your lungs, and the cobblestone beneath your feet hurts, but in a way that is familiar and foreign all the same. You can feel frizzy flyaway hairs on your head and you can smell! 
  There must be a pastry shop somewhere and you are determined to find it, but first things first- you need to find Astarion. 
“Grief and a half woman,” Brayden comes to a halt in front of her, “I’m the one who’s supposed to be leading you!”
  You chuckle awkwardly, “Uh sorry- I guess I just got really excited.” 
  Brayden smiled understandingly. 
 “I was the same way when I arrived. I was also grateful to have another chance at life.”
 You hum in agreement and allow him to actually guide you this time. He shows you the Magic Swan Tavern- the most popular in town for it’s shenanigans. He takes you through the entirety of the Portal Ward District and you make note of the nice dagger that Deric’s Weapons is selling. 
 Maybe, if you can scrounge up some money, you can buy it for Astarion as a, “Sorry I keeled over. Again.” present. 
  After the Portal Ward District, you end up in the Market Ward with people shouting out their prices and discounts. Then you are off to Forestview and then back through the Portal Ward- The Leafy Branch tavern is far more quiet and calm than The Magic Swan Tavern, but you think you would prefer the noisiness and fun. You’ve missed out on that kind of environment for a very very long time. 
 There is so much to remember that your head feels like it’s swimming- there’s candle shops, pastry shops, live entertainment, loved ones reuniting, and people walking around with their neighbors or friends. 
 You are snapped out of your mystified reality when you arrive at The Tombyard district- the smell of rot and the feelings of despair make you feel colder than you already are.
 “This is the Tombyard- there is an eclectic group of individuals here,” Brayden says uneasily, “Necromancy and other magic that disturbs the peace of the dead are forbidden, but that doesn’t stop everyone.”
  There is a loud clattering from the alleyway and the Cleric steps in front of you protectively.      
 “Wait here,” he says sternly, “don’t go away with anyone who is not me or your friend, okay?)
 “Okay?”
  What in the hells is happening?
 10 minutes pass, then 20 before he reappears, except his eyes are different. Instead of being more brown, they are more red. His footsteps are way too soft compared to the clunking he was making earlier.
 “I really appreciate the tour and everything,” you say to Brayden, “but I need to go and find my friend-”
“Oh come on- just let me buy you one drink!” He grabs your arm, trying to drag you to the Tavern. 
 The man’s entire demeanor had changed. He was not puppy-like anymore- he was far too cool and collected. Horrifically pushy too. 
“No- I really need to find Astarion.”
“Forget him,” the man rolls his eyes, “he hasn’t gotten here yet. He’s probably moved on.”
  What? This man was just telling you about all the places to show Astarion and now he is saying he isn’t coming? 
 You feel tears prick your eyes and your lower lip begins to tremble. That’s not possible- is it?
 The man looks forlorn when he realizes how upset he made you. He comes over and gently pats your shoulders before looking you dead in the eyes. Although his face shows empathy, his eyes are empty and devoid of emotion. 
 You just need to get back to Astarion, this man doesn’t matter.
“Hey, look,” he says with a sigh, “I know someone who can help us find hi-“
 “Where!?” You practically scream, “take me there right now!” 
  The man smiles at you and gestures for you to follow him back towards The Tombyard. Something inside of you screams to stop following him, but the dumb part of you, the worried part of you that needs Astarion NOW, is winning over common sense. 
  There are far more alleyways in the Tombyard than you realized (you weren’t really paying much attention anyway), but something about going through alleyways with a stranger screams, “Astarion is going to have a cow when he realizes you followed a stranger when he has to rescue you from said stranger.”  
  You stop, letting ‘Brayden’ go further ahead when your stomach turns even tighter. Something is wrong. Very very wrong. 
 It’s like being in the Catacombs again.
  The man stops when he realizes you aren’t following him anymore, both of you staring at each other and standing mere feet apart. 
 Whoever this is- this is not the tour guide you met mere hours ago. This person has ill intentions.
 “Who are you?” 
  The question hangs in the air like a threat. It wasn’t meant to be, but knowledge is power and that’s all you have right now. 
  His face contorts and the man snarls in frustration- revealing massive canines. Your eyes go wide as the entire illusion drops. 
 It’s Leon. Of course it’s fucking Leon. 
 “You and Astarion are an annoying fucking duo,” he says harshly, “between the two of you- I really don’t know who is worse, but I am certainly fed up.” 
  Oh that might be a threat. 
  You take off running- sliding around corners of alleyways with Leon hot on your heels through the back alley of The Tombyard. He was Cazador’s best hunter for a reason and he certainly isn’t losing your trail. 
 Oh to be a cat again- there are so many good hiding spots. Astarion is going to have to take you to Halsin immediately after this- you definitely need to add ‘Druid’ to your limited list of skills.
  Leon sends you flying with a thunder wave and you have officially decided flying isn’t for you. 
  The wall hurts as you crash into it- your nose makes a cracking noise and some kind of blue liquid is coming out. Your head is spinning- the world is spinning. Your pants are ripped at the knees from skidding and your hands are raw with ectoplasm.
  You’re going to die die (two times in a day? What the hell did you do to deserve this?)
  Leon comes into your vision and you try to push yourself away- absolutely desperate to get away. It’s no use- every attempt at kicking out at him or fighting him off has failed and now he’s force feeding you a paralytic as he grips your scalp painfully- slamming your head against the pavement until you stop fighting back.
 Tears slip down your face- you should have listened to your instincts. Now you’re never going to see Astarion again and it feels like a massive gut punch. You always waited too long and never took risks, but of course the one risk you take is going to be your last. 
 And it’s not the risk you wanted to take today.
 I am so so sorry, Star, you think remorsefully, and Gods do I wish I told you I love you. 
                 *******************************
  The sound of Leon screaming and cursing in indignation is what snaps you back into the world. 
  He really fucking lost it after Cazador died, huh? Hopefully Victoria isn’t being subjected to this at home. If she is- you are going to need to locate the nearest looney bin for insane undead (it’s a literal bin, you and Astarion frequently joke about Gardening and used Cazador as fertilizer for really pretty pink flowers). 
  You are both in a cage (how fitting- a Birdie in a cage) and you think you may be in some kind of temple. It smells even worse than Szarr Palace and the individuals walking around are very obviously somewhere between a rotting zombie and an intelligent, humanoid. Astarion had described a man like this once- Balthazaar- and to your recollection, the man was a Necromancer. 
 So none of this really bodes well for either one of you right now. 
 “We had a deal!” Leon spits at the man looking at him in amusement from the other side, “a soul for a soul- I brought you someone else’s loved one and you owe me.”
 “Hm,” the man says, “even when immortal, humans are still the dullest humanoid.” 
 “Ha!” You snort, Leon glaring at you, “what? You deserved that one.” 
  He growls something unintelligible towards you before turning to speak to the Necromancer again, but he’s already gone.
“You dolt!” you exclaim, “look at what you’ve done! You bored the man with the keys away.” 
 “Don’t you mean scare?”
“I know what I said- dick cheese,” you scrunch up your nose, stick out your tongue, and flip him off. 
  “Gods,” Leon groans, “you are as bad as Astarion. Maybe I should have tried to kill him the first time I asked to take you and he said no. Or I could have been more aggressive in my hunts, but of course the fucker has developed some basic common sense and combat skills.”
  Your face must reveal some element of shock because Leon just snorts and shakes his head in disdain.
 “That son-of-bitch never talked to you about that, did he?” 
 “Obviously not,” you quip, “does this look like the face of a person who knows what you are talking about?” 
  Leon looks at the ground- his shoulders slumped in defeat.
 “Victoria died,” he says flatly, “Dalyria killed her before the ritual. I came here, hoping she was waiting for me, but she wasn’t able to get out of the Ethereal Current.
“I ran into that Necromancer,” he says with disgust, “and he told me that he could bring back Victoria, but he needed the soul of another person’s loved one. An eye for an eye- to complete the spell. I had already done the original groundwork- you were the missing piece.
“I asked Astarion to talk to you two days after you both left Baldur’s Gate, since we all knew he had some weird attachment to a cat, but obviously you didn’t get a say.” 
  You are floored. This definitely should have been a conversation for you two to have- a child literally died! You would have happily helped! You will definitely be having a conversation with Astarion about this. You at least deserve to have a say over your own life force.
 “Ha, I thought he’d leave his guard down, slip up, something,” Leon scoffs, “but no. Every trap, every location, and every attempt has been thwarted by Astarion. Hells- I even fucking killed you before you left that portal and it’s like he’s still keeping me away from my daughter because he taught you to be suspicious. 
“I wish Cazador had been able to torture that runt one last time or better ye-“ 
  Somehow- your hand ends up around Leon’s vocal chords. And not just in a normal way- oh no. Your hand is submerged in his skin and is practically translucent. If you weren’t so positively pissed- you would have probably taken the time to throw up. 
 “You will not talk about him that way,” you leer into the man’s face and he does actually look afraid, “You would be lucky to be half the man Astarion is and if you slander his name one more time, I’m going to possess you and make you lap up disgusting, congealed blood off the floor- capiche?” 
  Leon continues to just look back at you in shock and horror so you tighten your grip.
“I SAID- CAPICHE!?” 
  Leon nods wordlessly and you let go of your chokehold on his vocal chords. You are also still in shock, but he doesn’t need to know that. He can’t know that you are very very new to this whole interactive ghost thing. 
 “What happens now?” You ask slowly, “do you know what is going to happen to us?” 
  Leon shrugs and just falls to the floor- sitting down against the cage in defeat.
“I don’t know, but I can’t imagine anything good.” 
 You frown, “what makes you say that?”
 “Because of us.”
 A chill runs up your spine and you begin to develop goose flesh along your arms. Slowly, you turn in the direction of Dalyria’s voice and what you see- you can hardly fathom. A blood curdling scream leaves your mouth. 
 Dalyria, Violet, Petras, Yousen, and Aurelia are all chopped up and sewn together at different places. One massive body with mismatched eyes adorning Dalyria’s head and the other eyes and mouths stitched shut. Dalyria has two tongues and drools pouring out of her mouth. They are all stitched onto Yousen’s torso but with Petras’ arms and legs. Every part is mutilated in some horrific way. 
  You put your face in your hands and sob so hard you begin to gag. 
 “Leon did this to us,” Dalyria slurs into the open, “we were the groundwork. Miss Incognito is still being worked on, but she’s gone too.” 
 No! You scream to yourself, no! They should all be happy- living their lives! Not- not this!
 You favored Astarion, but you did like the others and you liked Victoria too. You tried to help them too when you could and they are- were- genuinely good people who never deserved this.
   With shaking hands and chattering teeth- you feel something light up inside of you and a wave of red blurs your vision. 
 “You MONSTER!” You scream, getting up right, “you had no right!”
  You kick your foot and will it to become translucent and it does. Leon’s head goes flying backwards into the cage and you try not to think about the squishy contents on your shoes. 
 The rage, grief, and sadness in your body is all inflicted onto Leon in crazy, supernatural ways. You are blinded by powers you didn’t even know you had, you barely even remember what actions you took or spells you unintentionally cast. 
  When Leon is finally lifeless and destroyed- you go to the other side of the cage and curl up in a ball in the corner. 
 You’ve never killed anyone and you are beginning to regret it now. Leon is unrecognizable and you struggle to look away.
 Did you really just condemn a man to death because he had tried to get his beloved daughter back?
 “What an impressive display of power!” 
  You look up and come eye to eye with a Lich of all the fucking things. Astarion is going to be so upset with you when he finds you. You can already hear him castigating you.
 “WHAT IN THE WRETCHED HELLS WERE YOU THINKING!?” 
 Oh, you were just thinking that he may leave without you if he thought you fucked off and you love him too much to never see him again. 
 Just some silly little feelings is all. 
 For once, you are being the impulsive one. Hopefully Astarion is prepared to be the prepared one this time. 
 If he even comes for me, you think, I wouldn’t have gotten within 100 feet of this place if I had known there was a Lich here.
 “You know, Leon said there was something special about you,” he circles the cage, “I thought he was talking out of his ass.
“How wonderful of him to have brought me such an incredible gift before his untimely demise. I suppose he should consider himself lucky- at least this way he can see his daughter again.”
 The Lich chortles and a shiver goes up your spine as one of his lithe fingers reaches through the cage and strokes the side of your face. You feel your tears start up again in full force and then he cuts your cheek with his nail before lapping up the ectoplasm that flows through your veins through the cage. His breath is foul and rancid- his tongue feels like sandpaper on your skin.
 “Mmmmm delicious,” the Lich smiles, “it’s a shame you’ve found a way to be useful to me and my research. Hopefully I will be able to indulge in you later.” 
 No, no, no! This can’t be happening.
  “Pl-pleas-please don’t hurt me,” you say through sobs and tears, “I wo-won’t tell anyone what I saw- I will never come back here! Please!” 
 The Lich frowns and looks annoyed with you. 
“Orcus help me, I hate beggars and weaklings,” he scoffs, “I’ll keep you with me so when I have use for you again- I know you won’t be very far.” 
 A searing pain roars through your body and the world goes completely dark.

Ok ok okkk, so I got this really cute idea! It’s about my girl, Anne! (I feel like I haven’t gotten to write much about Anne, because I haven’t really gotten that many requests about her, therefore I took matters into my own hands)
She/her for Anne
They/them for the reader
Anne Boonchuy x reader
Tumblr media
Ok so this is sorta like a little imagine/oneshot thingie!
So, imagine that you were Anne’s crush before she got trapped in Amphibia! And since you weren’t really a part of her friend group, you weren’t there when the girls opened the box in the park.
And now, Anne finally gets to see you again after so long!
This takes place in s3 episode ep2. Yk, the episode where Anne and the Plantars go to the mall so Anne can ‘test’ them? Yeah that one
Tumblr media
Anne’s POV:
I was at the mall, seeing if the Planters were to be trusted in my world. I gave each one of them their own little task, and so far things where going pretty well!
‘Maybe we can actually manage to go one day without almost dying!’ I smiled to myself.
Then, all of a sudden I heard a familiar voice behind me. “Oh my gosh, Anne?!” (I don’t remember if this is what she actually says in the episode, but meh) ‘On no’ I turned around as I came face to face with an all too familiar ginger. Maggie.
“Hi Magg-“ before I was able to finish my sentence, she flung out and hugged me.
“Where have you been?! It’s been like five months! Didn’t you die?” (I still don’t know if this is what she actually said ok?😭)
“I was uuuuh.. in my family’s farm.. in… Alaska..?”
Maggie kept talking to my about some rando couple at school, “catching me up” on all the drama I missed, apparently. I was honestly trying to avoid her, since I needed to keep an eye on my frog family, plus I didn’t really care. However, she kept talking to me, not getting the hint at all.
I sighted, realizing that she wouldn’t go away. As I zoned out, my eyes drifted over to random places in the mall, searching for anything interesting to look at, when I suddenly caught sight of them. Y/n L/n. My crush. They were sitting over by one of the food courts, scrolling through their phone while sipping from the straw of a milkshake. My whole body tensed up as I stared at them, completely forgetting that Maggie was there, until she gasped violently and almost gave me a heart attack, that is.
“Oh my god, I totally forgot, you’re still crushing on Y/n!” She squealed loudly. My whole face turned to the color of a tomato as I shoved my hands in front of Maggie’s mouth.
“Shh! Don’t just shout that out loud!” I turned around to see if they had herd her, but luckily, my crush was still paying attention to their phone.
“Phew! They didn’t hear you… wait, how do you even know about that! I never told you anything about my love life!”
“Oh please Anne, it was sooo obvi! You totally suck at hiding the fact that you’re in love~” she said in a teasing voice.
I groaned as burrowed my face in my hands from both irritation and embarrassment.
“They are still single, by the way”
“Wait, they are?” I looked up as Maggie started laughing.
“C’mon lovergirl, just go up and talk to them”
She shoved me in their direction pretty hard as I stumbled forward. I was feeling really nervous right now. It’s not like I’ve never talked to Y/n before, but it’s been such a long time! Plus, we weren’t even that close before I got transported! ‘No, you know what, Anne? You’ve grown so much in Amphibia! This is just a pice of cake, you can do this!’
I took a deep breath before I started walking towards them, as I herd Maggie yell behind me.
“Good luck Anne, and welcome back from Alaska!”
Your POV:
I was sitting at a table at the mall, feeling more bored than ever. My friends had some stuff they had to get done today, so I was completely alone. I let out a sigh as I kept scrolling through social media, not really doing anything in specific.
Then, I decided to look up from my phone, just to look around the mall and see if anything interesting was going on. But the second I did, my eyes shot wide open. Is that… Anne?! I could feel my head almost explode with questions as I saw the brunette walking towards me, looking kinda nervous? ‘Huh, I wonder why?’.
“Anne?! Is that really you?” I got up from my seat as I ran towards her, giving her a quick hug. As I did, I could feel Anne tense up. She even started to stutter a bit.
“Y-yup, it’s me hehe.. god ol’ Anne..” she made finger guns as she spoke, whilst laughing awkwardly. “surprise..? ….I’ve been talking for to long”
I giggle at Anne’s weird antics as I notice her cheeks turning a slight shade darker.
‘That’s weird.. could she be blushing because of me?…. Nah’
“Where have you been all this time? I honestly thought you where kidnapped or something, no joke”
“Oh you know… just visiting my relatives and such in Alaska haha” Anne avoids my gaze as she says this, while sweat dropping a little. I must admit, I don’t fully believe her, but I won’t question it.
Anne’s POV
‘Omgomgomgomggg I can’t believe I’m talking to them again after so long! Gah, and I’m acting so weird too! Snap out of it Anne!’
We keep talking a little, catching up and just simply chatting with each other. It feels nice.. although I can’t help but noticing my face heat up a little as I’m nervously swaying back and forth on my heals whilst talking to them. I even added in some flirtatiously comments here and there, and woof my flirting skills are absolutely horrible!
‘I’m usually so good at talking to people, but Y/n makes it so hard! Why must romance be so difficult?!’
Then all of a sudden, we’re both interrupted by a loud crass.
“Woah, what was that?!” Y/n says as they look around, confused.
“I don’t know… wait” oh no… I completely forgot, the Plantars!
“ Sorry Y/n, gotta run, nice talking to you love ya, byeeeee” I yell as I run off.
Y/n POV
… well that was weird-
——————————————————————————
Anne’s POV:
“Phew, that was close” I panted out as me and the Planters where hiding with the trash cans behind the mall. I felt kinda bad since I had pushed them so hard, but luckily, everything worked out in the end as usual.
We where just about to leave when Sprig spoke up.
“Hey Anne, I noticed that you where talking to another one of your kind, but you looked really nervous? Why? Are they dangerous?” He whispered while leaning closer to me with a suspicious look.
“What?! Haha pff no, I was not nervous, whaaaat? Who’s Anne?! … Alright let’s leave” my face flushed red as I nervously looked around, trying to play it cool, but quite obviously, failing miserably.
Polly and Sprig looked at each other, sharing a smug grin as they giggled. Hop-hop on the other hand, placed his hands to his hips and started another lecture about the “good old days” and “tradition”.
“Why yes, I saw you talking to this person too. You even said ‘love ya’ to them! You know back in my days we didn’t even-“
“I SAID WHAT?!”
Tumblr media
This honestly turned out a lot longer then I intended, but oh whatever, it’s cute! Fr though I love Amphibia s3 sm!!

My stupid bugs
This is the most random shit. Don't mind it <3
Heartbreak High x Oc! Reader, it's a teen drama you know what to expect
I felt like my world was spinning in circles, I couldn't hear anything over this stupid ringing in my ears, I stumbled over my feet as I tried to get fresh air shoving people out of my way and trying to get to the quad. "Gem? Amethyst- I need you to breathe" A hand slightly touches the lower of my back and I quickly flench away before calming down a bit when I just realize it was just the three bug boys.
"Sorry," I apologize, my voice is shaky and it sounds like I'm on the verge of crying. "Crazy in there, right?" I sigh as blink the tears away.
Dusty frowns, "Gem...we saw the wall, you know we don't see you or Ant any different" He glances at said boy, "You guys are still our friends"
I glance to his right hesitantly, looking at Spider, his eyes meet mine and he nods. It was probably one of the only times I had seen him so serious, I sag in relief wiping the the stray tears away, and giving the bugs a small grin.
.·͙*̩̩͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩̥͙ ✩ *̩̩̥͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩͙‧͙ .
I found myself sitting in between Spider and Quinni in a musty, boy-sweat-smelling gym when the doors opened holy shit harps. She had buzzed off all her hair and she was rocking the hardcore emo look. "God her hair" Sasha whispered from behind me, "Is she ok?"
"Pack it up eleven!" Missy yelled to the girl who was walking to her seat. Amerie jumped out of her seat and rushed towards Harper-
"Sit down Amerie," Woodsy said into the mike making the girl freeze, she sighed, "I'm a woke woman, I enjoy sex as much as the next person-" laughs ripple across the crowd, "Really don't need to know!" I yelled towards her she rolled her eyes. "-But reputation is everything and this map," she gestured toward the old stairwells, "has jeopardized your reputation and the reputation of our school on the first day back"
She sighed disappointedly before looking at her assistant, "We are currently in the process of contacting all the parents of everyone on the map-" groans could be heard from across the room, "I strongly suggested that there are to be no more parties, shindigs, or gathos. Alcohol equals poor choices The risk-taking behaviors outlined on this map are unacceptable. Hartley High prides itself on being a safe environment." There was a handful of laughs, "But this is a wake-up call that we are not doing enough. Oh, and we will find out who did this. Get to class. Go." She shouts pointing at the gym doors.
I was going to call after Amerie as she was running after Haper but Woodsy beats me to it, "Miss Wadia. Come with me." I stop in my tracks and lean into the hand that was wrapping around my waist, "Let's go Gem" Ant ushers me out the door.
.·͙*̩̩͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩̥͙ ✩ *̩̩̥͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩͙‧͙ .
Tumblr media
Sitting on the bleachers against the wall I was playing with Dustys' hair and watching the other boys play basketball when Amerie walked back into the room trailing after Harper, "Honestly she looks like a dog" I muttered looking at the pair.
"Why haven't you answered my texts? Oi! Harp! Where have you been? Firstly, your hair. Extreme, but I love it. Secondly, Woodsy knows. I didn't tell her about you, don't worry." I narrow my eyes at her words.
"I'm not worried" Harper states plainly as she blinks at the girl across from her.
"Thirdly, Dusty spoke to me so we're pretty much dating..." I roll my eyes at Amerie's words, narcissistic bitch.
"I don't give a shit"
"What's up with you? Hello. Didn't you hear me? I took the fall for you." She rolled her eyes like it was the obvious.
"I didn't ask you to do that."
"Shut up. You're my best mate." Amerie laughs
"Not anymore." Harper sneers, shutting her down quickly.
It was like watching a tennis match, the bystander's eyes in the gym bounced back and forth between the two girls and you could cut the tension with a knife. Some students had already started to pull out their phones to record.
"What are you talking about?"
"fuck off," Harper says more aggressively
"Okay, Harper, I don't get it."
"Of course you don't." she rolls her eyes
"Well, then tell me."
"I said get off me. I'm fucking done with you!"
"Fight, fight, fight!" a slight smirk passes over my lips as I see the students egg the girls on.
Amerie goes to grab Harper but the blond shoves her which causes Amerie to pin her giants against the wall, "What the fuck Harper? Stop! Why are you doing this? What is wrong with you!?" Harper bashes her forehead against her noes causing Anmerie to fall on the floor with a bloody noes. Quinnin went over to see if she was ok but ended up getting sneezed on, blood splattering all over her face, "ew"
.·͙*̩̩͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩̥͙ ✩ *̩̩̥͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩͙‧͙ .
I grip my solo cup like it was a lifeline as I clutch onto Harper, her blond hair falling onto her face, "Bloody love you, We stick together yeah?" She nods, "Forever together, the tree musketeers" My eyeliner and face makeup glow in the dark lights my face grins as I get handed another drink by Amerie, "Drink up bitches we're getting fucked!" I rush to the dance floor with the two girls laughing along with them.
.·͙*̩̩͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩̥͙ ✩ *̩̩̥͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩͙‧͙ .
"Why'd she do it? Crazy bitch." Ant seeths, "My mums going to kill me because of her"
I slide into the seat next to him, "Who did what?"
Spider glanced at me, "Amerie wrote the map"
My blood runs cold, as my eyes instantly find the girl who was talking to Sasha, before standing and making my way over.
"Oi, Sash! So you've picked her side?" The black haired girl asks
Sasha gives her a bewildered look, "Are you kidding me? Dude, everyone's pissed. You broke people up. You outed people. And all of that work Missy and I did to stay friends after we broke up, that's fucked." Her eyes barely meet mine and I wince.
"Doesn't mean anything now, because... Harper did the map too." Amerie says it was obvious and she did nothing wrong.
"You know what really shits me?" I hiss as I shove her back so she stumbles over her feet, "When people can't own up to their actions, You outed me to the whole school you bitch, I told you that in confidence because you were my friend! Didn't think you'd write it on a public wall for all eyes to see you sick fuck." I harshly push her back again so her back hits the brick wall of the school.
"You outed not just me but my friends" I take a deep breath before continuing, "Look, I hope you're okay...But that map is a real dog, man. And I just think you need to do some work on yourself. Like, away from us." I gestured to the people behind me in the quad, and people started laughing at the girl in front of me. "I don't want you back Wadia"
.·͙*̩̩͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩̥͙ ✩ *̩̩̥͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩͙‧͙ .
The intercoms screech as they turn on, "Will the following students please meet in classroom 5D: Amerie Wadia, Harper McLean, Sasha So, Missy Beckett, Dustin Reid, Spencer White," Ant elbows Spider making fun of him, "Anthony Vaughn" his smile quickly fades off of his face and then he rolls his eyes as Spence grins at him.
"Sounds like a bunch of dickheads" Darren says munching on a snack and then handing a piece to Quinni when they're finished.
"Darren Rivers"
"Damit" Darren curses and I grin at him, wiggling my eyebrows and waving him bye.
"Quinn Gallagher-Jones, Douglas Piggott, Malakai Mitchell." I sigh happily lying down on a picnic table and waving my friends bye as they walk away.
"Amethyst Rivers"
"Damit!" I yell out in frustration, I hear Darren bark out a laugh before I follow behind them.
.·͙*̩̩͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩̥͙ ✩ *̩̩̥͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩͙‧͙ .
Tumblr media
As I walk into the room, my bag slung over my shoulder, I hear Woodsy yelling at Spider to get off the table he's sitting on. I duck as a wad of paper gets thrown in my direction, "Whore" I say to Ant, "Slut!" He grins back as I sit between him and the Spider.
"Map Bitch!" Spider whistles at her like an owner trying to get a dog's attention, "Map Bitch."
Amerie snaps her head around glaring daggers at the new kid sitting next to her, "What cunt?" He backs away, "Nice to meet you too"
"Come on Douglas..." Woodsy complains ushering him into his seat.
Spider perks up, "Oi, eshay bah! How was stereo brah?" The group around them laugh at his joke and Dusty pats him on the back.
I hang over Spider, arms dangling around his neck, "So cemetery tomorrow?" I lowered my voice so Woodsy couldn't hear us, my eyes looking around the group.
"Yeah boy!" Dusty and Ant dab each other up, "It's going to be a rager!"
Darren turns around their pink silk wrap string falling over his shoulder, "Oi, uh, what's the cemetery?" they ask eyebrow lifting.
I go to open my mouth but Spider beats me to it, "None ya biz, bong water"
"Ok, settle down thank you," Woodsy raises her voice before Spider can say anything else, Another teacher walks into the room that I've never seen before but as I look around it seems like some students recognized her.
"Hi, everyone. I'm Miss Josephine Obah, but you can call me Jojo. Kind of like, "Yo-yo," but J." She laughed at herself but seeing as no one else was laughing she cleared her throat, "I'm an English teacher, so I know some of you. But I'm sure you're all wondering why you're here. Well, your names were on the map in the stairwell. The one that's out of bounds" She looks at Amerie.
The new kid raises his hand, "Um, what map?" His face is full of confusion.
Jo-jo gives him a deadpan look, " Okay, very funny. Look, peeps, we're not dumb. We know a lot of you are sexually active, but we're concerned this map demonstrates a real lack of respect for one another when it comes to sexual relationships. So we want to address it head-on. This is a special class that aims to give you clear and accessible information about sex and intimacy...A sexual literacy tutorial."
"SLT. So we're sluts? Jo-jo, are you calling your students sluts?" I grin at her as I watch her squirm when Spider starts chanting with Ant and Dusty.
"Sluts! Sluts! Sluts!"
Jo-jo waves at everyone to be quiet, "That's enough. Come on, everyone. This class will go back to the basics on sex and...Because clearly, you all have a lot to learn in that department. It'll happen twice a week, in your own time." The class lets out collective protests ring out through the room and Jo-jo hesitates to finish, "Until..."
"No, until we judge that you started to respect each other and yourselves. You have to attend every class or it'll go on your permanent record." Woodsy finishes for her.
Ant looks up in surprise, "Wait, we have permanent records?"
"This is sex jail!"
"Thanks a lot, map bitch" Ant glares with the rest of the class at the girl as she shrinks in her seat.
"Sorry. Um, it's actually my first day. I don't think I'm supposed to be in here." The new kid raises his hand in protest.
"Legend! Made it to the map before you even started!" Spider cheers to the boy, The kid turns around in his seat to look at Spider and I shoot him a wink as I grin, and he swiftly turns back around.
"All right everybody up!" Jo-jo ushers to us, "Okay, now clear these tables to the side, please. And lift them. don't scrape them along the floor. Thank you. Now, I want you all to start walking around the room. Come on. Walking. Good, you know how to walk. Now, I want you to choose three other people to start shaking hands with. Shaking, shake... Good, you know how to shake. Shaking. And..." She looks around the room.
"Spencer," He raises his hand, "You have genital crabs-"
Darren laughs, "Checks out"
"-Not in real life, Darren, for the purposes of this game. Put your hand up, Spencer. Hand up, Spencer. Now. Hands up, who shook hands with Spencer." Me, Ant, and Dusty raise our hands "Anwo shook hands with them?"
More people raise their hands, "And who shook hands with them?" everyone has their hands up except for Amerie, "You all have genital warts" The class snickers.
"I thought it was crabs?" the new kid chimes in
"Right. Crabs. Thank you, um..."
"Malakai"
"Malakai. Thank you. You all have genital crabs, except for you, Amerie. Well done, What does this highlight the need for?"
"Stay away from Spider, he's chat" Ca$h comments from his corner. I laugh at his comment and ruffle Spiders' hair.
"Fuck off, guys!" Spider snaps
"No! Condoms" Woodsy yells, standing by the door.
I grab my bag and make my way over to Spider and Dusty who was talking to Amerie, I wrap my arms around Spider to tug him down so I can get on his back.
"Hey, um, did we hook up?" Dusty asks confused.
"No you didn't Dusty," I say staring down the girl, "She would've been boasting about it."
"Yeah, I didn't think so but it says here-" He points at his phone showing the map. "It isn't anything Dusty," Her face was visibly turning red. "There's like a...It's like a gold line between our names?" He furrows his brows
"Gold line means destined, like destined to be," Spider grins, "She wants you dusty" Ant starts making kissing noises and I shove his head to the side.
"Simp!" I call after Amerie as she walks out of the room.
.·͙*̩̩͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩̥͙ ✩ *̩̩̥͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩͙‧͙ .
With a soft sigh, Spencer lowers his head between my legs and presses his lips against my folds. He begins by gently licking along the length of my slit, teasing and exploring every inch of my sensitive skin. His warm breath fanning over my clit only serves to heighten the sensation, making me arch my back and grip his shoulder.
As he continues to pleasure you with his mouth, Spencer begins to use his tongue more assertively, flicking and circling my clit with precision. He moans against my skin, his hands cupping your hips as he thrusts his tongue deeper inside me. The feeling of being so thoroughly devoured by his mouth, his expertise in bringing me so much pleasure, sends shudders of anticipation coursing through my body.
His hands move up to your hips, gripping them firmly as he sucks on your clit, drawing it into his mouth and flicking it with his tongue in a rhythmic pattern. You can feel the pressure building within you, the need for release growing stronger with each passing second. With a final, long drawn-out lick, Spencer pulls away from me, watching as my eyes flutter closed and my breath hitches.
"Are you close?" he whispers, his voice thick with desire.
I nod frantically, unable to speak past the wave of pleasure that washes over me. He smiles, satisfied, and then leans in again, running his tongue along my slit and teasing my sensitive bundle of nerves. With one final thrust of his tongue, he pushes against my clit, sending me over the edge. My body convulses in a powerful orgasm, my legs shaking uncontrollably as I cry out his name.
Spencer keeps up his ministrations, licking and sucking until the last tremor subsides, his tongue lapping at my folds like a lick of flame. When I'm finally able to catch my breath again, he pulls away, his lips swollen and red from the contact. With a satisfied smile, he looks up at me, meeting your eyes.
"Better?" he asks, his voice a low rasp.
I nod, unable to form words as I try to process the incredible sensations that still linger in my body. I reach down between my legs, feeling sticky wetness where Spencer had been, and let out a soft moan. 
"Bloody hell," I breathe as I look at my phone, looking at the time, we have ten more minutes until we have to get ready for pregame." 
Spencer grins at me, "Good" then he disappears back between my legs.
.·͙*̩̩͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩̥͙ ✩ *̩̩̥͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩͙‧͙ .
♫ Don't you just wanna wake up, dark as a lake? Smelling like a bonfire, lost in a haze? ♫
The music thumped in the background as I was curling my hair, "Hey fuck face! Can you get me a drink?" I yell to the other room. "What do you want?" "Anything is fine no beer though!" I yell back.
♫ If you're drunk on life, babe, I think it's great. But while in this world ♫
"Okay, got the eye shadow just where I want it," I say, admiring my work in the mirror. "Now for some lipstick... hmm, red or nude?" I pick up a deep red lipstick and a nude gloss, holding them both up to her lips before deciding on the gloss. "Yeah, that'll be perfect. Just enough color without being too obvious." As I finish applying my makeup, I take one last sip of her champagne and decide it's time to get ready.
♫ I think I'll take my whiskey neat, My coffee black, and my bed at three ♫
I grab my favorite gold body chain and my black lace ankle boots, slipping them on before doing a quick spin in front of the mirror. "Not too bad, not too bad," I say with a satisfied nod. With my party look complete, I down the rest of my champagne before heading downstairs to meet with the rest of the boys
♫ You're too sweet for me, You're too sweet for me ♫
"What'd you get me?" I lean over the counter look, and grab the drink. Ant and Dusty shrug and point to Spider. "I did roulette with the dinks, trust, they're going to taste good" He grins, pushing the cup to her lips.
♫ I think I'll take my whiskey neat, My coffee black, and my bed at three ♫
I take a sip and let the sweet, citrusy flavors dance on my tongue. The music plays on, setting the perfect ambiance for pre-game party. I take another sip, savoring the taste, and feel a warm, fuzzy sensation spread through my chest. It's not just the alcohol talking; looking at my friends as they argue over what drinks we're bringing. I love my stupid bugs.
♫ You're too sweet for me, You're too sweet for me ♫

Chapter 22 - Part 2
Lest you've lost your way, click here to progress (regress?) back to Part 1.
Tumblr media
...Okay, now I'm officially worried.
Meanwhile, back in the Real World™️ (shout-out to my buddy @kantochampred!):
Tumblr media
Alright, I'm about to go off on a small side tangent here but I promise it's worth it-
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Sorry to post your sins on main, Red 😔)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Why Do I Climb the Mountain? is a reference btw)
LMAO OKAY thank you for bearing with me, now back to the main show:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Good job, neither of those two things is correct!
...Okay, Cherrim has replaced Drifblim, yes, but. Imagine this tiny seed holding Teresa and Andrea by their little stubby hands while riding the wind down the mountain.
I had to look up a walkthrough to identify that little Riolu to the right. Normally, that's an Exeggcute! (And the backup for Team Frontier, apparently).
The Third Station Pass was dubbed Great Turn, while the clearing was called:
Tumblr media
Admittedly, I had no idea what an "oubliette" was, so I did a quick search and...
Wait a minute, are you freaking kidding me-
Tumblr media
WE ARE STARRING IN A WAR DRAMA AAAAAAAAAAAA-
(Apologies for the small text at the start, let me know if I need to add an image description!)
Tumblr media
...No >:l
The only reason I left this in is because this happened:
Tumblr media
Oh my God yes PLEASE-
So fun fact, I actually did a dry run of the first few dungeons before doing it for real and taking photos. And the first time around, this gift was an Escape Orb? Which isn't bad, but I would 100% take the Reviver Seed over that any day.
The 4th Station Pass was named Sad Peninsula. (Florida? Dat you?) And the 4th Station Clearing? See below.
Tumblr media
But then!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Handsome Desolation? Is this where the handsome men in uniform... perish?! 😓)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I feel like a large, prehistoric rock dino should be enough to scare most things, but I guess taking the even larger rock snake as backup can't hurt.
So we go through the 5th Station Pass, Sandy Way... (Only one letter different from Sandy Bay.)
Tumblr media
I. Don't remember why I took a picture of this. The downfalls of not immediately composing posts after the playthrough...
But yeah, those giant two-room dungeons with guaranteed MH's and a huge mass of enemies in the other room aside is definitely a theme and I hate it.
Tumblr media
Andrea consumed enough Gummis to obtain this IQ skill, which is awesome since Max Elixirs are so hard to come by.
Tumblr media
Look at this!! I'm pretty sure Blizzard only had 7 PP before! Yee haw!
Tumblr media
I wonder which Pokémon are the ones bothering Sneasel Pichu?
Tumblr media
OH NOOO!! I'm imagining this grisly scene where all these Combusken are just pecking Pichu to death.
Team Frontier happens to beat us to the punch:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I love that Onix is so big that she blocks Nidoran F.
Tumblr media
Like all territorial encroachments in Mystery Dungeon, everyone just jumps right into the fray without listening to anyone 🙄
Honestly, all of Team Frontier was pretty based. Jolteon had an ability that allowed him to attack twice in a row (I think because the weather was different?) and he consistently used X-Scissor. Nidoran F had Sesimic Toss (55 damage) and Ice Beam. Deoxys had Attack Order, Seed Flare, Rock Wrecker(!), and Swift, the last hitting for 120 damage on a critical. Combined with Teresa's Chatter (when we finally got there, because you start off a ways from everyone), they didn't stay up for much longer.
Also Jolteon shielded me when Teresa got low on HP 🥺️
Tumblr media
"SIT DOWN FOR TWO SECONDS AND LISTEN TO ME FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE, I SWEAR TO ARCEUS!"
Tumblr media
"We owe you..." -> Yet another line from this game that never made any sense to me. (Unless it was sarcasm ig?)
Tumblr media
💀You what
Tumblr media
Hey, speaking of... I know Onix is huge and all, but have y'all seen Pichu since the fight started...?
(Beep boop, click here to advance to Part 3)

Almost Live Blogging RWBY Vol. 9
Tumblr media
Out of all the directions Volume 9 could have gone, I would have predicted none of it. Well, except the time dilation. Just in the wrong direction, I guess. So partial credit? But what did I think of this latest volume?
In my opinion, this volume is easily the best RWBY has ever been. Well worth the wait. The writing was consistently good to great. The art direction was terrific. The character beats were spot on. And the humor was…okay. (A big improvement.)
I suppose I should stop being coy. OH MY GOD! CANON BUMBLEBY! THEY SAID THE THING! THEY KISSED! HOLY CRAP! HOLY CRAP! HOLY CRAP! CUE THE OFFICE MEME! OH MY GOD, IT’S HAPPENING! EVERYBODY STAY CALM!
I never, ever thought in a million years that they would actually have the stones to pull that trigger. Well credit where credit’s due. Honestly? I kind of feel like the dog who finally caught the car. I’ve got canon Bumbleby, but what do I do with it? I was planning on writing a short fic that takes place during Volume 9 where Yang and Blake confess. Now…I don’t have to? I was not prepared for this.
It actually took me about three times as long as that scene’s runtime to watch it. I kept having to pause and walk away because I saw what they were doing, and I didn’t believe it. I was trying to emotionally prepare for coming so close and being denied. In fact, allow me to reenact (in prose form) the very beginning of that scene for me.
Yang: ��But how do we take the next step?”
Me: *eyes narrow*
Me: “No…. No way…. Impossible….”
Me: *pauses and walks away for ten minutes*
Now there’s so much else to talk about. I really, really liked Ruby’s character arc in this volume. I loved the flash back to Summer Rose. I like what they did with Jaune. I liked the cute, polite paper people desperately scheming to embrace the sweet release of death. But forget all that. I want to talk about Neo!
Neo is RWBY’s best character, easily. I’m pretty sure this Volume was her swan song, but I can’t bring myself to be disappointed. Nothing that good can last forever. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing. Things need to end before they’re milked to death and ruined, or the good idea trough runs dry. (See Star Wars/Trek. Please pick whichever one resonates with you more.)
Now before I saw Volume 9 I would’ve said that them having Neo speak would’ve been a mistake. Oh how wrong I was. Neo speaking through a Greek choir of departed friends? Glorious. Absolutely glorious. And then the cat. Oh the cat. The cat made one, fatal mistake. He messed with Neo. You never, ever mess with Neo. That’s how you get murdered. Instantly and horribly. When it happened I literally jumped up from my seat and shouted something to the effect of, “YOU F!@#ED WITH NEO, CAT! NOW YOU’RE DEAD!” Not language I typically use, by the way.
And Neo’s send off. Only Neo can stop Neo. And even that was an example of how good a character she is. Without saying a word, she said to Ruby, “Don’t forget that I thoroughly beat you.” Goodbye, Neo. Goodbye. You were the flame that burned twice as bright. As beautiful as you were deadly.
(Yes I know that a new Neo…uh…a neo Neo? Will likely appear in a future volume, but while she might be awesome, she won’t be the same. You just can’t top skipping through a field of death without a care in the world with the Relic she stole from Salem because she knows she’s going to get away with it.)
So yes. More RWBY please. Now. I know there’s been a lot of drama surrounding Rooster Teeth recently. I don’t know what any of it is nor do I care to because that’s not how I engage with media. So I guess I’ll have to say the little prayer I always say when a new RWBY volume comes out. Please oh please don’t mess this up.
Oh, and I’m pretty sure Team RWBY+J has met God? So…have fun with that theological can of worms, kids.

supernatural s12e2 mamma mia (w. brad buckner, eugenie ross-leming)
whatever the fuck is happening here, no fucking thank you. evil mol lady in sam's head fucking information out of him? need to tally all the times someone's messed with his head, jesus. being resurrected soulless, having said soul shoved back in by dean via death with a wall, said wall being destroyed by cas to keep the boys occupied, trauma from said breaking causing lucifer hallucinations, becky's love potion, dean tricking him into saying yes to gadreel, am i forgetting anything? (too much plot to keep track of)
CASTIEL Don't make things needlessly complicated, as you humans tend to do. I'll call you.
oh damn, i need to get on that too. keep it simple, stupid
i really like the hair and makeup on mary this time. reminiscent of her s1 makeup
Tumblr media Tumblr media
s4e21 sam hallucinating mom (nigh on unrecognizable, i thought she'd been recast!) / s1
MARY That yellow-eyed thing would never have come for him that night if I... I started all of this.
respectfully, what with the being michael and lucifer's One True Vessels, i don't think it matters what you did. which tripped some signal in my brain for a techno?? song with a line 'this has all happened before and it will all happen again'. i keep thinking the messiah album from 94 but hmm. argh. i need to drop this and figure it out later
thought we were done with the physical torture. silly me.
why are we with rowena now. and this dude who's been in a million things but who knows what i recognize him from. could be commercials, for all i know. and rick springfield, right. we're just going on with our weird little goofy plotlines and just cutting to awful torture periodically. sure.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
MARY Sam had a chance to get out? And he came back? DEAN When Dad disappeared, Sam and I looked around, and something became very clear. That the only thing we had in this world – the only thing, aside from this car – was each other.
i will take that and tuck it in my pocket. mary looking (understandably) concerned
ROWENA I can't believe I'm once again down some dank hole seeking the devil! When does it end? It's exactly why I'm retiring to Boca Raton. With Ben.
stopped clenching my jaw over sam long enough to laugh, that was a good one
great, now dean's getting a beating too. just go wander about this place that's heavily warded, alone. not making good choices, dean (so we can get mary to come save the day again?)
Tumblr media
the wing shadows are always fun and a lot easier to execute well compared to actual (practical or cg) wings but do miss a real wing unfurling from time to time. you know what had great wings?
Tumblr media
clash of the titans (2010) that and shiny armor on the gods is all i remember honestly
internet died unexpectedly mid-episode so here i am day 2, again.
i will say. also. i really appreciate spn does cast people that are older for things that could be cool and badass or sexy or whatever. but i dunno if rick springfield was the best choice exactly for lucifer. since we're like, in theory trying to still do mark pellegrino's lucifer, maybe getting an actor-actor would have been a better fit
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the way dean replied "hey" so soft and with a hint of a smile, my heart
(back to muting with evil lady)
Tumblr media
and yes, to mary saving the day. man, she looks great. shoutout again to the makeup artists and stylists (and good lighting!)
they are really going above and beyond making this mol woman irredeemably awful. not one to encourage them just killing people straight out of the gate but i was hoping mary (or dean) would just shoot her. i dunno if the goal was try to get information or something but she has proven to be exceptionally dangerous time and time again. sam shoulda just shouted out for them to shoot. but less angsty drama so
Tumblr media
seen this in meme format and knew it must be from this plotline, didn't realize they'd cropped mary out
gather there must have been some offscreen cas-healing. convenient
MARY But do you still like pie?
reminds me of a gifset i saw recently with jensen talking about his been conditioned to be excited about pie via dean lol
Tumblr media
i have a variety of gags i don't love on this show, but dean eating as piggishly as possible is up there near the top.
Tumblr media
i can't get over how beautiful she looks. bewitched me
MARY Well, we should call the Internet and find out as much as we can about these people. Did I say that right? DEAN So close. SAM Yeah, it was close.
that was very cute
the crazy awkward i can't begin to fathom for sam, not knowing mary at all (though dean barely did too, especially considering most kids don't retain those very early childhood memories)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
SAM Dad's journal. His writing, his words. Helped me fill in some blanks, answer some questions I didn't know I had. And, you know, it – it – it keeps him with us, sort of. MARY Thank you. SAM Good night. MARY Dean said you got out of hunting. SAM Yeah. MARY And yet here you are. SAM Well, this is my family. My family hunts, you know? It's what we do. Mom. For me... just, um... having you here... fills in the biggest blank.
❤️ got me to tear up too - despite the slightly odd music cue for the hug - lyrics yes but not quite the right mood musically to me? (heart's lost angel). i think it works for the montage but the tone feels not quite right for the hug
Tumblr media
i hope they're taking more pictures these days. damn bobby for burning the family picture with jo and ellen in 5x10. sam and dean both look at them regularly, should add some new ones
Tumblr media
the apocalypse au picture?? had it paused trying to find jdm and then like whaa that's cas being human-apocalypse-casual. 5x04 (which includes some really wonky romantic music when sam and dean reunite, clip included)
and now we're back to cheesy action spy thriller with the whatever, expert assassin torturer whatever the fuck. giving whiplash
--
brief-ish rant. i've complained, often, annoyingly, about the torture in this show. pushing aside the fact that torturing for information doesn't work, i think it's the sheer volume in this show in particular that has me so kneejerk upset about it. most shows or movies i watch (because i'm not going to pick to watch things that advertised to have a lot of torture in them), i can look away through maybe a few scenes and okay moving on. but torture itself became an Important Character / Plot note thing for dean, and with the torture subjects often being not-human there's (presumably) less moral qualms about torturing them, along with just a general standard action trope of using it for information. it's just so common and so accepted as standard operating procedure. and i don't like it. i don't like depictions of it ever, but especially not with this show's frequency, and especially-especially not with my special guys doing the torturing or being subjected to it.

*Annoyance and confusion*
Chris: Alright, I’ll see you tonight at the arena of losers! In the mean time, I’ll tell you where you guys will sleep!
*The group walks over to 4 run-down campers*
Andres: Eugh.. is this where we are sleeping?!
Grace: Soooo not preppy.. >:(
Chris: Hahah, yep. Don’t worry, the guys and girls get their own rooms, however the campers weren’t originally meant to be split into 2 rooms, so It will be REALLY cramped! 
Eddy: Erm.. actually if they were split in half but still stay the same size-

——————————————————————————————————
Hey everyone! This was the first part to my Total Drama fanseason. It’s definitely interesting.? I’m thinking that if this project get enough support, I’ll let the viewers vote in comments instead of the contestants. If you want that to happen, you could follow, comment, or even just like! I’m not asking for much either, just a few supporting and consistent commenters, I’ll start viewer voting! Anyway, I’ll see you tomorrow for the next episode!

Hundred Five. Part 2
Tumblr media
Squinting my eyes open a little “have you been fake sleeping all this time I have been trying to wake you?” Robyn said, I groaned out “I don’t even want to hear what age I am Robyn, please I beg” she laughed out so loudly, it was evil “well happy birthday to my old man. But poppa look how sexy you still look, you are like the sexiest fifty year old” I stretched out and then laughed groaning out “please, I beg. This is nasty behaviour; I can’t believe I am that age. Fuck” I am stumped on this, how did life go so quick for me “but Chris, look at where you’re at in life, I am so happy for you. And I am so proud of you, look at you, look at us. Look at our children, I am happy and so should you” she has a point “when you fifty I want to make sure the whole world screams it” she swatted my chest “but yet you’re hiding in shame, be quiet. But I get your point, you’re right. Do what means the most to you and just a nice family meal works” she leaned down to me, pecking my lips “it was cute because like I put it in the group chat, the one you fucking left with my family and I said it’s his birthday and he won’t be offended if you don’t come, they all did. They should be here” Robyn’ family are a pain up my ass and will be forever “you know I would be happy with just the kids” she shook her head “Chris, this is a big birthday for you. I want to do more but you are refusing to let me” I chuckled “Robyn, what more do you want to do? We have done everything, the only thing I want is no drama, I just peace. Just all love, I don’t want no club shit. I feel like why do I need that but you know how Drais is, they are like next week we are about to have the biggest birthday bash for you, I did refuse but they just booked me for next week” Robyn cooed out “you really are over clubbing days aren’t you, that’s fine. But we will have the best meal for you” nodding my head “don’t get me started on Aziel, he blatantly peed on the floor, without a care. When I saw him, he ran, and I did see Raihan laughing and then said look what he did. I think we should punish him for that” Robyn trailed off as the bedroom door just opened “papa” Aziel spotted us and ran over “who told you to come here” he didn’t care, left the door open too “hi” he climbed onto the bed “you giving my daughter issues, we not talking” I said to him, he jumped onto the bed and then just hugged Robyn, she poked her bottom lip out “demon, don’t” I pointed, she can’t think he is cute.
They are really torturing me with my age, everything is just fifty this and fifty that as I walked down “still strong aren’t I” I am holding both Emi and Aziel, it’s cute that they decorated the home for me though “I think they want me to go into this room” the door is closed too, and I know Robyn told me to go into the living room first “shall we go in?” I asked, I feel like leaving them in there “yes!” Emi clapped “no” Aziel said, reaching down to the door handle and pushing it open “oh god” the all shouted happy birthday to me “oh man, oh man” the kids both shouted in excitement “really” the amount of party poppers and mess in this room now “I want to leave already” they all cheered, then they started singing happy birthday as I entered the room, Taina and Herb both here early for me, that is shocking for them two always late couple and Monica is here for me, I should be honoured she held the years of hate for me and still able to come to my party with a smile. I think I am most happy about to have all my kids here, that is what means the most because they are always everywhere and anywhere the girls “thank you” I said smiling “I didn’t really want to see my age in lights at all but thank you, it’s been a journey for me but to have my loved ones here is what means the most, to see my girls home too. It’s just what I need. Least I am only a grandparent to one, but seeing Aziel makes me feel old but thank you all, Monica coming here is scary. She most like me” Monica waved me off “please make him stop” Robyn walked over to me laughing “you better stop before she starts giving you a list of things she don’t like” she took Emi from me “you look emotional poppa, you ok?” I shrugged not saying anything.
I told the kids I don’t want gifts but yet they get me gifts “I think it’s sweet that you all know what I like, but to get me a car collectively was too sweet. Like thank you” I was shocked “well dad you said that you didn’t want anything and that you just didn’t want us to get anything so we was like us three being the eldest can get you a car so we split it three ways and Junior, he added something with selling Taylan stuff and to get you it, we know you like cars so why not” Ti explained “I appreciate it, all I really want is for you kids to be happy, and then to have you all here, thank you” smiling at them “Robyn got me air” I side eyed her “I will give you sex, be quiet” I laughed “I knew that” that is all I want really “oh please, make sure no baby is coming out of this” standing up “oh trust me, no baby comes out of this I promise you, that issue is fixed” Rylee face dropped, looking to where she is looking “did I miss it?” Oakley came finally “my dad” Aziel already found him, he didn’t wait a second to see him “my boy, you came out here” walking over to him “you asked me to come, I couldn’t say no old man” hugging him “I will still beat your ass my guy don’t piss me off” he chuckled “good seeing you, thank you for having me” he patted my back “you are family so why not” I said to him “Oakley, you came” I still find Robyn being nice to him weird because she is never nice to anyone “hey” he said and Robyn hugged him “I kind of missed everything” he said “oh you didn’t but you arrived on time for big boy breakfast though bro” I hope today everyone can just get on because I don’t want to hear about no drama and no Rylee shit, she loves a good drama that girl, but I believe she won’t so I pray.
Watching Aziel behaviour around his dad is very different to his mom, he seems a little scared of him or there is a respect there for him but he will sure as hell play up with my daughter and I don’t like that shit at all but he has respect for someone so this could work but he is a little shit “Chris” looking up “oh mom, you’re here” I got up from the couch “I am sorry son, I just missed my original flight but I am here now” hugging my mom “oh it’s ok you came now and that is what means the most to me” I don’t care what time she comes, she is here and that is what means the most “it’s been so long” she said “mom it’s ok to have bad days you know” moving back from the hug “you was having off time and I accept that but as long as you are taking your medication we good, you are good now yeah?” she nodded her head “I was looking forward to coming and seeing all the kids. The are so grown now, I am like who is all the new kids, but they are grown” I chuckled, moving back from the hug. My mom hasn’t been having a good time with her illness and I am happy she told me that and she got help, that is all I want for her “well since you last saw Emi, she got even fatter” my mom laughed “oh Robyn” she came out “it’s so good seeing you” Robyn hugged my mom, I am most happy that my mom is here and she made it out here on her own, crazy.
I know everyone is thinking why I just want everything lowkey but like I have done everything, I don’t want no party even though it’s already been taking out of my hands with it, I am just happy to have my family here and we just have a nice get together. Robyn always got to have paparazzi around “busy out there” Oakley said “it’s sick this car though, your daughters chose well” he complimented “and you took the virginity of it, passenger princess. Also just you know what I said, keep it one hundred and just not speak to Rylee, I don’t want no drama on my day” Oakley nodded his head, opening the door as I got out “Happy Birthday Chris” The paparazzi shouted at me “thank you, thank you” I smiled, closing the door and watching Oakley get out “is my wife here already?” I asked them “already bro, she walked in” I chuckled, making my way in “well let me be not too late, get y’all pictures” Oakley rushed over to me “how come the paparazzi?” he asked “Robyn and her plans, also I think Robyn is about to ask more of you, heads up. She is trying to be a powerhouse overseas, which she don’t need it but she aiming for the ends” he let out an oh “she is demanding” he is saying that but I am married to that “women bro” walking into the building “damn this is a lot of people” looking upstairs “upstairs sir” the waiter said as I made my way up.
Tumblr media
I am so glad that dad took his minion over and away from me at this meal “Rylee, seems like I don’t see you anymore” my grandma sat next to me “oh yeah, whenever you come I’m always in London that is why. How are you?” Locking my phone, I’ve been very quiet today, seems like everyone thinks I’m the drama or something is always wrong and it’s always me. I even spoke to my therapist in the morning, I feel content, but I am still not happy “sorry grandma, I zoned out what did you say?” I feel so rude “I’m ok Rylee, how are you? You have been very quiet here, usually you’re up to something” I laughed “erm just keeping out of trouble, I have a lot of things I need to do at home that is all” I shrugged “home, you call London home now” nodding my head “but sometimes I feel it isn’t home, I feel it’s Aziel home and I’m there for him, you know what grandma. I don’t know what I want but I just want the best for Aziel but he isn’t making it easier for me” I keep checking on him; he is everywhere and playing with his cousins but I’m worried he’s going to upset someone child “you need to do what is good for you” she said “I am happy in London I think it’s settled but it can be so lonely, if I take away my friends, who I got? Me, myself and I. I just feel shit, I will be ok” I laughed “can I steal my sister” Ti said with her hands on my shoulders “oh I need a drink, grandma I’ll be back” getting up from the chair, Ti smiled at me “your body is banging, like that shit is beautiful” she complimented “awww thank you, I go gym for most part and then I do Yoga, weird enough it works but I’m still an unhinged mess” Ti chuckled “shut up now, just thought I would pull you up and see how you are, he’s not spoken to you has he” shaking my head “everyone but me, it’s just lame. He’s lame, like he doesn’t understand when you have sex with someone feelings come forward, men don’t care. They don’t, no matter what. Sex is sex to them, but we feel it, it’s us struggling after. I’m pissed with him but I’m leaving it” grabbing a water bottle “it’s dad day and whatever but how is you? I think dad loved the car, even though Imani didn’t put a dime into that shit” Ti shushed me “she said I’ll pay you soon, I’m like girl” shaking my head “just shit, and it always seems to be Rylee has the issues, maybe I have I don’t know anymore. I just want this day to be over with already” my dad smiled at us “I think mom and dad are concerned for you” I sighed out “I can sense it” I mumbled “I’m not like depressed, just more annoyed at things. I don’t know Ti, I don’t know how to get a man without using my looks” Ti shushed me “it happens, look I been there, I was in the same position as you and I felt like shit. Taylan came out of nowhere, stop chasing and let it come to you. You have a fear of being alone clearly. It’s fine, you are doing so well” Tianna placed her arm around me “if it makes you feel any better Oakley has been looking at you, I think dad told him to stay away” the kids are screaming as they do “Rylee, ayo!” Rorrey waved at me “Aziel!” He pointed, I placed my bottle down and walked off, as I walked closer “what happened?” I started rushing out of the door because I can hear his cries now “Rylee he fell” Raihan said, pushing through the kids “he fell down the steps” Taina said as she came up from the fire exit “what!” I spat running, seeing Aziel down the steps crying and Junior there “oh my god” running in heels down in these steps, I’m fearing for myself to fall “oh my god” Junior moved away “what happened!? What happened!?” Onto my knees seeing my son crying out “Raihan pushed him down” I don’t know what he’s hurt.
We had to call the ambulance, my dad said to not move him. Steel steps he fell down “we will take him in” the paramedic said, as they moved back seeing his little body on the bed “mommy” he said, making my way over to him “I’m here, it’s ok baby” the paramedics are in the way “I’m here, it’s ok. I’m going with him” following behind them “I’ll go with him too” hearing Oakley say “I’ll follow behind” looking up “dad it’s fine, just stay here. Sorry” I apologised; I can’t believe this has happened to him. The went through the back of the fire exit, they are taking him in which isn’t really good what if something bad has happened “your momma is here, don’t you worry” the paramedic said to Aziel, he’s probably thinking what is happening “we will take him in first and then you both can sit in” nodding my head, why did this have to happen to my child, looking to the side of me and he just stood silent not a word spoken to me at all which I don’t care, Aziel looked at us and I smiled at him “come over now parents, you the daddy yeah?” She asked him “yeah, yeah I am” getting into the ambulance “mommy” Aziel whined out “he has a temperature, the side of his head had a knock, but he won’t let us touch his arm, I am guessing it may be broken” sitting down on the chair “it’s ok baby, I am here. So you think he’s broken his arm?” I asked “yes it’s this the first time you riding an ambulance sweetie? We going to tuck you right in, my colleague going to put the fancy lights on for you baby” I can’t believe this has happened “hey!” Someone started banging on the door “my sister her bag, please!” Oh that’s Imani “hold on now” the lady went walking over “daddy it hurt” he just seen Oakley now “you been playing around haven’t you” he said to him “your bag, is we got to go. Belts on please” she passed the bag to me,
They have taken a lot of scans from him and now he is asleep, I told my family not to come I think it will be ok. I am stuck dressed like this and heels on, sitting down on the chair sighing out, Oakley hasn’t still said a word to me, but I refuse because like fuck it, if he can’t speak then I won’t. Kicking my heels off, I have had enough really “you want to wear my trainers?” looking over at Oakley, he spoke “me?” I said like a dumbass “who else?” he said “erm it’s ok, you need to wear something” he took off his sneakers “I mean the floor isn’t clean either, how about you wear my socks?” I laughed “that is disgusting” is he stupid “no serious, better then the floor. Let me take them off” oh he is being dead ass “we have shared much worse, I don’t have nasty feet now you know that” watching him take his socks off “I just know they are sweaty” he hung them up on the side of the bed “fine, let the sweat dry up, you can wear my trainers” shaking my head “fine”  I will take his socks actually “kind of rude not speaking to me though” I asked, I couldn’t help it “your dad told me not too, to keep the drama because you didn’t want me here” of course my dad told him that “yeah but do you blame me” I retorted “and on top of that you keep making your friends pick him up, I can’t talk to you. You blocked me off for what? What did I do to you” I am so confused “because everything is always drama, you want me to say things I don’t want to say, I care about you and like what happened in the bedroom I feel bad. You know me Rylee if I don’t give a fuck about someone I stop” he said, “but you made up with Wyge straight off, me I get shit” I defended “not like that, I think we got a long night though so I guess we stuck here with this” he stared me down “what does that mean?” I frowned “we can talk about things, no arguing. I stop listening when you do” he pointed “right” my feet are cold and I want them socks but then I don’t want them at the same time “take it, I promise they don’t stink” he laughed.

Prologue
I woke up sweating, agitated. I blinked a couple of times and then I grabbed my phone, located under the pillow. It was almost five AM, too early to get up, but too late to go back to sleep. I sighed, tossing the device to the other side of the queen sized bed.
  It happened again. I dreamed about her, for the fourth time this week. We went to the park, that little square near our house. It was summer, I think, the sun was shining brightly and dyed everything a golden tone. She ran ahead of me, laughing as her light brown hair fluttered behind her, turning to look at me and encouraging me to quicken my pace. "C'mon darling! Come! “she said, fixing her soft eyes on mine. They always told me I had my mother's eyes, and I never knew how to respond. I almost reached her, but she rushed onto the street, a scream arose from the laughter. My mother was lying on the cement, crushed by the wheels of a truck. I saw her brains scattered, the eyeballs protruding from the skull. All the neighbors came out of their houses, pointed their cell phone cameras at the scene, and then directed them at my face. A couple approached me, they asked me where my father was, I didn't know what to answer.
  I stared at the ceiling for a while, deciding what the hell I would do next. It was a Saturday, so I had the whole day free, which meant only one thing: I was going out with friends. Actually, friend in singular. I have more than one, I'm not a loser, but they are quite different from each other and rarely hang out.
  I got out of bed, as I took off the sheets I remembered that I should have changed them a week ago. They didn't smell bad; I could do it tomorrow. I didn't care about the state of the bedding, but I did care about my hair. No one would come to my room with the sole purpose of checking my (poor) hygiene, on the other hand, having long hair as a man makes me stand out quite a bit. I get bullied enough without being called “greasy” too.
  After taking a shower and eating breakfast, I wrote to Kevin, my best friend.
   “Do you want to come in the afternoon? I have something to show you, you're going to fall on your ass! “
 It was still quite early; he was probably asleep. Although he is the most responsible person I know, he doesn't have this obsession with getting up early every day, he needs plenty of sleep.
  I heard a couple of footsteps approaching the kitchen, shit. Quickly, I took the half-drunk glass of juice and walked quietly towards the stairs, his voice indicated that it was already late.
  "Good morning," greeted my father, or as I like to call him, Dr. Dead Fetus Head. Obviously I don't use that nickname in front of him, at least not after that incident.
  “Hello,” I responded quietly, calculating the remaining steps to get out of there.
 “Do you have plans for today?”
Oh, now he wants to play the role of “present father”. I tried to hide a giggle, a crooked grimace appeared on my face. I turned to look at him, and as usual, I didn't think before speaking.
  “Since when are you interested in what I do?”
 He closed his eyelids, frustrated. It gave me an adrenaline rush to argue with him, to make him uncomfortable. It was the least I could do, I hated knowing that he emerged unscathed from all the family dramas while my mother was abandoned, exiled.
 "Oh, I see you want to start the day off badly" he said, keeping his voice calm “. Do what you want, I don't care.”
 With that said, I started to go down the stairs towards the basement. In the distance, he shouted “I'm going to play tennis with Roger, don't burn the house down!"
Yeah, sure, I wasn’t that stupid. I moved deeper into the basement, my refuge from the world. Years ago I took that space, after she left. I hung posters of all the bands I had heard up until then, and added other decorations as time went by.
 Sitting on a beanbag, I looked at the wallpapered walls as if they were sacred paintings. Because that's what they represented, gods. Men who raised their voices, stomped their feet and created a kingdom of power, darkness, rebellion, etc. for all the marginalized. By doing so, by transporting us with their music into that space where one can feel unattainable, they became gods.
 I always felt a comforting heaviness in my chest when I admired those images, seeing the strength of those men awakened something in me that was difficult for me to name. I decided to call it for what it probably was: admiration, venerating certain role models. What else could it be?
 I glanced at my favorite guitar, an idea flashing through my mind and leaving my fingertips electrified. I grabbed the instrument, plugged it into the amps, and started playing. I left the volume at seventy percent, loud enough to bother my father, but not so loud that he would run down from the kitchen in his bathrobe and insult me.
 I spent the rest of the morning rehearsing a new song, “Machinery of Torment.” Days ago I was trying to define what chords I would use for the verses, nothing sounded good enough.

The Xiang Chronicles: Book Four Chapter 23
Title: The Xiang Chronicles: Book Four
Author: Jay Grayson
Word Count: 118k
Genres: Fantasy, adventure, drama, LGBT+
Available on: my website
Synopsis: In order to save the world from the continuous subjugation and potential annihilation at the hands of Tiandi, hard lines must be drawn. The Great Spirits that were imprisoned ages ago must be unsealed and awakened, no matter the consequences.
The players are divided—those who stand blindly with Tiandi, such as Xiang Merra and her disciples versus those who want to tear the system down and give the power back to the people. Even a few of the most religious Lords change their minds when they learn the truth of the world—that Tiandi is no more than a dictator with no love in his heart.
It is up to the last, real Xiang and the ill-fated Chaaya to put everything they have into tearing God from his throne and creating new possibilities for the future.
Full chapter 23 under the cut
Chapter XXIII:
With a link between Undine and King Raime in place, they returned to The Survivor and boarded. Undine then reappeared and helped to raise the ocean water around the ship and gently guided them back to the docks behind Castelle’s palace.
From there, they sat down to discuss the particulars about the coming conflict since they all knew there would be one. Kyrie, as it stood, could no longer support Merra.
Raime would not be able to go back once he made that decision public but, with Undine’s protection and strength, he felt confident in doing so.
“Then, whenever you need me and my people, we will rally behind you,” the King told Pangu with a renewed energy that was uplifting to see.
“We can hop back over here and let you know, rather than send a falcon out or a courier.” Pangu smiled.
“Or,” Undine’s voice sounded but she did not manifest, “If you are around Mother, you can simply give her the message. We can communicate directly.”
Kira blinked a few times and then nodded. “That works too.”
The negotiations, or mutual plans, rather, went even more smoothly after that. King Raime promised Raine he would protect his family and he made a more lighthearted promise to Pangu that Sampra and Ryu would not be deployed to the frontlines and would continue to guard the palace.
It was another weight lifted off of them and, when Kira opened a miasma portal back to Shakti, they felt all the better about the future.
This time, there was an audience waiting for them on the other side, probably expecting a summoning or some other show of triumph. The only ones missing were Loa and Phay—but besides them, even the Mistresses were there.
Raine shook his head solemnly.
“Did you not free Undine…?” Devi asked as her shoulders slumped.
“No, they did…” Shakti’s quiet voice sounded before she rose up in the midst of her Mistresses. She kept a rather liquid form, probably since she did not intend to stay with everyone for long. “She attached herself to another, did she not?”
Raine sighed. “She is bound to the King.”
“That makes sense,” Fujin commented, “Sylph already told us they used to choose royalty. If the King was there…”
Kira rubbed Raine’s shoulder though it was mostly for show since he could not feel it through his armor. He ended with a pat and a sigh. “I am sure I will not be chosen by Gnome so we can be unwanted together.”
“Are you really upset because you did not get picked?” Ziyi asked with a scoff. The smug look on his face did not stay for long since Chandes delivered a swift kick to his shin. “Ye-oW!”
“Who asked you to speak?!” She shouted and started to deliver a series of quick jabs with her foot against his leg.
May cackled and joined in on the other side, knocking the necromancer off balance and sending him to the floor. Browly ran around him in a circle, barking, but otherwise offering no help whatsoever.
“That poor bastard.” Kaz shook his head at the sight.
“Oh, I see you and your sister got my delivery.” Kira switched his attention to him, in his fancy armor.
“We did.” He grinned and set his hands on his hips. “I did not think I would miss it as much as I did.”
“You are not wearing yours?” Pangu asked, checking with Fujin.
She was still in plain, comfortable robes and she looked between them as if they were mad. “No. Why would I?”
“To honor your post…or to feel like yourself again?” Raine offered and shrugged. “I had felt almost naked without mine, to be honest.”
Fujin laughed through her nose and then shook her head. “While I do find pride and identity in that armor, there is no need to wear it during down time… You and my brother are too much alike, I swear.”
She then walked off to pull May off of Ziyi but her words lingered in the air. Raine and Kaz glanced at each other, mutually disregarded the connection, and then looked at Kira and Pangu respectively. The fact that they did it in sync made Baiya, Viren, and Oli laugh.
“So,” Viren attempted to sway them into a different topic, “What was the spirit realm like, Raine?”
“Breathtaking,” he answered with ease. “Everything is like a painting come to life and the air feels both light to breathe and thick with energy.”
“You and Oli will be visiting it next,” Baiya mentioned to Viren.
“Yes and I am eager. I had always assumed I would only be allowed to see the place upon my death.”
“Me as well,” Raine seconded before saying, “You all should have ample time to be able to take in the sights too, seeing as you will be able to travel directly to Gnoma. Of course, I suppose you cannot discount the possibility of one of Merra’s disciples showing up and ruining things.”
“Another one?” Oli groaned.
“Ah, yeah,” Kira recalled with a laugh, “We ran into Bofu before grabbing your armor.” He pointed languidly to Kaz and then continued, “but I took care of it. Doubt we will be seeing him again.”
“Someone needed to kill that little bastard,” Baiya muttered.
“Oh, I didn’t kill him. Just pumped him full of miasma and left him in the woods somewhere.”
Pangu leaned his head back and let out a long, “Aaaaah, so that is what happened.”
“Technically…I didn’t kill him.” Kira threw his hands up. “If he dies between now and later then it was not me.”
“One less disciple is good no matter how it happened,” Kaz responded.
“True. But I think we should prepare to face Kubja.” Viren crossed his arms. “Once he is out of the way, Pangu, do you think we could run into any other problems?”
“Well…there were spirits around when I accidentally visited the area before…” he grumbled, almost to himself. Though he doubted those same spirits would still be there and, even if they were, he did not think they would pose a threat, it was worth letting everyone know. “And, on a more superficial note, the scenery is a bit drab. It might not be the great marvel Raine and Kaz got to experience.”
Viren noticed a reluctance in Pangu’s tone and posture. He would not push it, not in front of everyone, so he took his hand and gave him a small tug. “Do you need to rest? Or was this trip much easier?”
“It was easier,” Pangu said with a smile, “but I could also go for a nap.”
“Sounds good,” Baiya inserted himself and stretched his arms up before glancing over at Kaz, “You can come meet us in an hour when you finally get all of that armor off.”
“It does not take that long,” Kaz grunted.
“You were gone for at least half an hour to put it on.”
“No I was not. Besides, it takes less time to take off than to put on anyway.”
Pangu checked with Viren and did not have to say anything in order to convey his thoughts. The Terran lord sighed and said, “Yes, they have been like this the entire time.”
“Come then,” Pangu said, waving his hand, “If you want to bicker, I have plans.”
Baiya’s expression changed, showing far more interest while Kaz curled his lip. “What does that mean?”
“Something fun, probably.” Baiya smirked.
“For me,” Pangu countered, “And maybe Viren.”
At that, Viren chuckled.
“You underestimate my willingness to do whatever you have in mind,” Baiya said as he began to lead the way back to their room.
“Because you are a lecher,” Kaz spat though there was no real venom in his words and none of them took him seriously. His burgeoning smile, mixed with how he picked up his pace to follow them, rendered him toothless.
Kira watched the four of them leave and then realized it was just Oli left with him and Raine. The young man glanced between them and fidgeted with his hands.
“Do you two need to rest too?”
“No but…” Kira turned his attention over to the Mistresses and Shakti. They were having a private conversation along with Gong who, surprisingly, seemed right at home with them. “I should check in with Shakti. See if she feels any different since Undine has been freed.”
Raine gave him a slight pat on the back and nodded. “I will wait for you.”
He and Oli sat on a couple of rock benches, on the far side of the room. The Lord in training took out, from his robe, a roll of parchment and looked to Raine.
“Did you get any planning done with your King?”
“Oh, yes,” Raine said and then let him know what all King Raime intended on doing.
Every so often, Oli nodded or added a small sound to indicate he was listening while he marked a few things down on the paper.
 “You have been working hard to record everything, have you?” Raine asked after he was done.
Oli met his eyes and gave a lopsided smile. “Yeah…or, trying to at least. If Viren gets back control of Ultimos, my work over the past year and a half will help smooth out the transition.”
“Talking about strategies and politics?” Phay asked as she and Loa joined them. They both seemed a little tired in the face so Raine guessed they had just risen from a nap.
The sight of them drew May and Fujin over as well.
“We are,” Oli said to Phay, “The King of Kyrie has the ability to summon Undine now and he has promised to help us.”
“That is excellent news.” Phay woke up considerably more.
“Not so much for Raine,” May commented and stuck her lower lip out. “He wishes he could have gotten Undine’s gift.”
“It is not a terrible loss…” Raine tried to reason.
“It is understandable if you feel left out,” Fujin attempted to console him.
Raine resisted the urge to roll his eyes. “It is fine.”
May scooted closer, all but knocking Oli out of the way. “I bet Kira can make it all better.”
He arched an eyebrow as he regarded her. “What is that supposed to mean?”
“She is being dirty,” Fujin answered in monotone.
“Like usual,” Phay added.
“Well stop.” Raine did not push her away so the princess continued to lean against him.
Kira noticed from the other side of the room that the women and Oli were all surrounding Raine. He took a moment from his check up with Shakti to stare.
Then, out of the blue, Raine yelled, “That is NOT how we do things! Kira!”
“Looks like someone is in trouble,” Kali commented and Chandes snickered from behind her hand.
Kira leaned to the side even further and hollered back. “What?!”
“Is it not true?” May yelled, turning her head back and forth to look at each of them, “About the miasma tendrils?”
It was like a blow to the gut—Kira doubled over and the wind was knocked out of him. He had completely forgotten he told her that on a whim.
“Tell her that is not true,” Raine demanded.
But Kira could not stop laughing to clarify. Fujin bit her tongue while Phay silently laughed, shaking her shoulders, and Loa turned a deep shade of crimson.
“Kira!” Raine yelled again.
“I’m sorry,” he wheezed, finally able to make a noise other than laughter. He leaned against his knees and a few teardrops fell from his eyes. “I forgot about that.” After another few seconds of composing himself, he stood up straight and wiped under his eyes. “Whew…May, I was just kidding.”
The princess frowned and crossed her arms. “You promised it was true!”
 “Yeah, I lie sometimes. It’s just a thing I do.”
Raine pinched the bridge of his nose. “But why, of all things, did you choose to say THAT?”
Kira tried to bite his lip in time to keep from laughing but it did not work out in the slightest. What started as a whimper turned into a full blown cackle which made Raine narrow his eyes at him. “What? It’s funny.”
“So…” May huffed and shifted her weight around. “How do you two have sex then? If not miasma tendrils…”
“None of your business,” Raine cut her off.
Kira devolved into snickers again and Raine sighed. At the very least, Oli was on his side since he piped up and asked, “Can we please talk about anything else?”
“I second that movement,” Phay raised her hand.
“Please.” Loa covered her face.
“Aw, you are all such prudes,” May groaned and threw her head back. “I’m curious.”
“Use your imagination,” Kira told her with a wink and Raine gave him a look so sharp it could have killed him.
From the sidelines, Ziyi sat with Browly on his lap and his eyes bounced between each speaking party member. Slowly, he started to shake his head and then he pinched the bridge of his nose. He shifted his attention, solely, to his dog and murmured, “They are all a bunch of freaks, Browly.”

💞 and 💌 for the fic writer asks <33
💞 what’s the most important part of a story for you?
honestly i like an exciting story as much as the next person, but i think the characters and the writing are what stand out to me the most. i don't need a super plot-driven story if the characters are interesting and the writing is good/reflects the characters' personalities :P
💌 share something with us about an up-and-coming work (wip) that has you excited!
you already know i gotta talk about my football au 😏 but something im really excited for in it is just. the entirety of Gwaine's storyline. the fic is from merlin's pov but u'll see the change in his relationships with the other players and i rly like the convo merlin has with balinor when it's announced gwaine's left gwynedd fc (under the read more if u wanna check it out 👀) and i love the interview gwaine has at the end of the season i just. oh my god this fic is just so fun to me 😭😭😭
let's get ((real)) fic writer asks :3
It’s on the front page of all news sites, and also the newspaper that Balinor has his head buried in, and Merlin reads it with feigned disinterest, though it’s transposed against memories of soft hair and a tight grip on his waist and sunlight glinting off reflective boots and shouts of derision across the pitch. Gwaine Orkney of Gwynedd FC has announced his leave from, well, Gwynedd FC — and everyone is holding their breath to see where the fuck he’ll go instead. Or who will make the highest bid.
“Are we eyeing him?” he finally asks after popping a few grapes in his mouth.
“Orkney?” Balinor barks out a laugh. “Fuck no.” He flips the paper back over to the front, studies the page with disinterest. “We already have Pendragon, don’t need any other drama queens.”
Which, fair enough. But Camelot could use another striker. [...] If they can afford it. And Merlin knows that they can, even if every season seems to bring CFC closer to relegation.
“You really mean to say Uther’s not in negotiations about it right now? [...] Seems like this is something he won’t be able to walk away from. [...] And if Aredian feels the slightest bit of interest, you know Uther will jump.”
“Spineless,” Balinor replies.
“So I’m right.” Merlin huffs a laugh, finally going back to eating. “Let’s see if they’ll know what to do with him once they get him.”
“We’ll see if he and Arthur can stand each other first.” Balinor flicks the paper, straightening it out, and goes back to reading, face now hidden. Merlin hums, spears a slice of apple. 
They’ll tear each other apart, is what’ll happen. And Merlin will watch it all, unable to do a thing about it. Two brilliant players, and they’ll die under Aredian’s tutelage. Amazing. Balinor is once again fully invested in other football news, [...] but Merlin still says his thoughts aloud:
“I thought Uther likes football. He likes Arthur, doesn’t he?” He presses the toes of his trainers against the legs of the table. Balinor turns the page. “He did fix Camelot up. I can’t and I won’t deny that. But what happened? Aredian’s been too lucky.”
Balinor clears his throat. The paper flutters.
“He must’ve been good at one point,” and Merlin does pretend that he’s never watched a match while hidden behind the couch, “but where that gaffer went, I’ll never know. And his dick certainly isn’t so good that Uther absolutely must stay on it.”
“Merlin,” Balinor finally snaps, but he doesn’t disagree. Merlin considers it a win.
[...]
If it were any other club, he’d think it might be Gwaine’s attitude. Where Arthur is bad, Gwaine is somehow worse. Well, not ‘somehow’. Arthur is unintentionally dramatic. Gawine is completely, totally intentionally dramatic, and he doesn’t care how that comes across. The more drama he can spark the better.
Merlin thinks of Gwen, her integrity and insight, and he thinks of Morgana, her intimidation and her intelligence, and he wonders if there’s a publicist in the world who could manage him. Probably not. Maybe he shouldn’t be wishing for Gwaine so bad, if only for Moragna’s sake.

VALLLLLLLLL!!!! Long time no see! 🖤 @turtleedovee
this excerpt is AMAZING!!!
Thank you!
it’s been a phat minute since i’ve done a live reaction and i miss it so let’s get into it
I’ve missed you!!!
ok first of all… in the last chapter it didn’t even occur to me that the gang was gonna head to wakanda until i read other people’s live reactions😳
*le gasp* you read spoilers before the chapter? Shame! SHAME!!
but here we are now!!!!
🖤🖤🖤
ooo bucky pov!
oh no wait… bucky nightmare D:
yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy
(F/N) tore her eyes away from him, reaching for the hand as it helped her return to her feet.
Wraith stepped from the shadows, tucking her protectively against him as he handed her another pistol.
BUCKY NOOOO ITS NOT REAL PLEASW
😈😈😈
sam remember how you trusted nat and she was wrong??? this is EXACTLY like that
I love that this is something that is constantly pointed out but…the thing is…was Natasha really wrong? She’s always been sus that Ghost wasn’t telling the whole truth…which she wasn’t…
i realllly don’t wanna see bucky fall off the believe (f/n) is still good train :(
Ohhhh but it’ll be funnnnnnn
“Why do my World War Two veterans constantly look like shit?”
it’s the way i busted out laughing at this
i can picture tony’s face while he’s saying this 
Same tho 🤣
damn there’s no way tony is gonna snitch on peter to aunt may 😭😭😭
It’s just an empty threat, don’t worry
Jump.
We’re not jumping out over the Atlantic.
Lame. You’ve done it before.
That was over the Pacific.
Same difference.
this was also hilarious 
😌😌😌
it’s the way i also be talking back to the voices in my head like this 😭
Same tho 
i need this unhinged ghost to stop being so damn funny cause we can not be bringing in jack into this mess
Hyde!Ghost is hilarious to me and she has the best ideas 
respectfully (f/n) what in fucks name are you gonna do when you jump into the middle of the ocean WITH NOWHERE TO GO BECAUSE EVERYRHINF IS MILES AWAY
🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️
boone i love your optimism babes but i don’t think squatters rights are a thing in wakanda 
especially when these guys can kick your ass off the continent 
You haven’t seen Boone’s Puss in Boots face
boone babes i hate to say it but… i think their sunsets might be just a little bit better 😬
Them’s fighting words 
oh shit i had no idea we were going in straight AFTER killmonger that changes things i think 
surprise!
cause it’s like… i think t’challa is down to help them out but no way the elders, the queen, or the dora milaje think it’s a good idea to invite the actual DEFINITION of chaos and destruction onto their doorstep
Exactly…there’s gonna be ✨drama✨
ross and boone has GOT to be my top unexpected besties
Same tho 
boone actually has no chill whatsoever 😭why would he wanna play FRISBEE
She’s just tryna lighten the mood…and see if she can give Duke a concussion
“We are on plane full of super soldiers.” The Russian shrugged again, “I’m sure someone can carry him.”
belov please never stop being the hilarious son of bitch that you are
Нет 
“Tell me someone else is seeing this,” you whispered, watching as the mirage began to fade.
“Oh, I see it,” Boone hummed, nudging you gently, “And I’m really glad you can see it too. I cannot be trippin’ balls right now.”
there’s some very sad implications here but i really don’t wanna think about it because i don’t wanna get more sad
Oof 
boone and shuri as lab partners would be crazy 
It would be glorious chaos
WERE ADDING TCHALLA TO THE LIST OF PEOPLE WHO NOW KNOW GHOSTS IDENTITY?!!
Yes 
“Ghost is a woman?” a familiar voice shouted from behind the Dora Milaje. You winced back, cocking your head to the side before a smile spread across your face and Princess Shuri appeared beside her brother. She looked you over excitedly, “I do not believe in the gods but...Praise be to Bast! Brother—”
shuri is so real for this reaction😭😭😭
Fr tho 
i wonder what the dora milaje think of ghost 👀
Not impressed………yet 
i honestly did not think novak would be in contact again with ollie 
Olile just gave him enough to lure him back in. Another super soldier? It means Ghost is even more powerful than he originally thought. It means that he doesn't have to work as hard to create a serum. All he has to do is keep her alive and use to make an army. 
uh oh… they’re talking about jack
it’s the way my anxiety is SPIKING RN
Sorry not sorry
leave him out of this please 😭😭
Nope 
i’m actually so glad that clint is in on ghosts shenanigans 
Same tho 
because like wanda is still relatively new to all of this so she’s struggling and steve is a soldier not a spy (see what i did there?!) so they were both STRUGGLING to stay afloat… but CLINT?! homeboy knows what he’s doing i trust him
He’s gonna be the glue that holds this shitshow together
i really like this idea of tchalla and shuri respecting n’jadaka’s name. like yea he was an extremist when it came to his ideals but like he wanted to do good and by using his wakandan name it feels warmer. like he’s not the killer that killmonger was to many
It just seemed more natural than them calling him Kilmonger 
Dark tattoos trailed up his left arm, leading under his shirt before reappearing at the back of his neck.
ok but pause…
JACK HAS TATTOOS??
THIS IS NEWS TO ME
SURPRISE!
i really need to read thoroughly 😭
It hasn’t been mentioned in BS:A it was only in his Aftermath character sheet. 
i LOVED reading shuri’s thoughts on everyone 
Same tho. I love seeing an outside perspective on them. 
Killmonger was just like them after all.
He was trained to destabilize governments, taught to kill without remorse.
They were just like him.
wooooah
cause it’s the way i didn’t even think of this
I felt like a genius when that came to me. 
ollie being able to walk freely around the tower with mostly everyone not giving a shit is actually terrifying 
For real tho. No one suspects him. He can get close to anyone
LEAVE PETER OUT OF THIS PLEASE
no
omfg no HES JUST A KID
Much easier to manipulate that way 
Perhaps… Lagos 2.0. That would get her out of the way, at least, for a while.
there’s actually… no fucking way
this is horrifying 
It really is. He has all of them in the palm of his hand
ollie being able to jump from being a psychotic piece of shit to a sympathetic person is sickening 
It’s absolutely terrifying. 
like it’s scary how quickly he was able to play with nats emotions and manipulate her like THAT FAST
He should have been an actor
Prove what you can do. Show Stark you can handle yourself,” Oliver said, raising his fists in front of him, “Show me what you can do, and I’ll teach you everything she doesn’t know.”
I AM GOING TO THROW UP
PLEASE DON’T
her arguments with herself have me cackling asf
I’m tellin’ you, Hyde!Ghost is so much fun to write
ok but it’s the way this makes perfect sense tho👀
because ok think about it: like yes it’s sad and kinda funny and ironic that she still hasn’t told bucky the truth even tho he knows her better than anyone but i think because of there history… it makes telling him that much more painful. because like it or not he was there during her most painful moments and he was the one taking her to the darkest part of her life. but he was also there as a support, while she was literally being tortured they formed this bond and understanding with one another. so the history of the en ay to loaded and painful for her to tell him everything. but telling tchalla?? practically a stranger???? it’s easier because he’s not coming from a place of chaos and harm, he has made peace with vengeance and with this peace ghost can tell so it makes opening up to him a lot easier than it would be to bucky
Yessssssss this been what i’m sayin. Of course it’s painful to tell bucky, he was there for almost everything that she’d been through. The Soldier was not only a source of her trauma but also a comfort during her hard times and having to tell him about something that he was right there for just to bring back bad memories for them both is gonna be hella hard
Danny laughed again, his breath whispering across your neck as he buried his face there, “I'm not afraid to throw your pretty ass out in the snow.” —
— “You think I'm pretty?” —
— “I think you're beautiful.” —
WOAH DANNY FLASHBACK WOAH
That right there is one of my fave parts of this chapter
this feels like when movies are like “here’s a never before scene exclusive for our newest project!!” it’s the way the got so excited 
🖤🖤🖤
“I love your crazy ass. You can do this. We can do this together. I love you, mi amor.”
brb sobbing—
😭😭😭
“I said, I don’t wanna talk, Steve,” he snapped, glaring up at the man before he paused.
“Good thing I’m not Rogers,” Walsh said, standing at the edge of the room with a frown.
OH NO—
OH YEAHHHHHHHHHHH
I DONT KNOW WHO I EXPECTED BUT IT DEFINITELY WASNT HIM 
SURPRISE SHAWTY
Out of all of them, he was going to be the one to find her. And, if he was, Bucky wanted to be there too.
“I call the shots,” he said slowly.
Walsh nodded, rising from his chair with a smile, “And I find her.”
Bucky rocked to his feet too, closing the distance between them with a snarl as he grabbed onto Walsh’s collar, “If you hurt her again, I will not hesitate to snap your goddamn neck.”
“Understood.”
OMG NO WAIT—
😈😈😈
THIS IS SCARY AS FUCK
omg no that’s the end
god PLZ—
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 😏
omg this is so long i am so sorry but this chapter was so so good and it’s the way i had literally no clue that they were headed to wakanda until i read other people’s live reactions 😭
THIS IS WHY WE DON’T READ THE SPOILERS, YA DING DONG. lol 🖤
anyways i love it when you break my heart darke i hope you keep doing it 🫶🏼
Don’t worry, i’m working on it 🖤 thanks Val
CHAPTER 85: WAR DOGS 
To all my live reactors,
Please, please, please, hide your reactions under a Read More cut. I don’t want any spoilers floating around. 
&
To all my Anonymous Avengers, 
If you want to react in my asks, feel free. However, I won’t be answering any of them until at least Wednesday if they contain spoilers. 
Thank you,
Darke

And, for a moment, a weight was lifted off your shoulders.
For a moment, the air was still.
For a moment, you felt the peace he’d told you about.
The stillness, the clarity, the calm.
The King broke the silence after a moment, “We have a saying here: Rain beats the panther’s skin but it does not wash out the spots.”
You glanced up at him, with a deadpan, “No matter how hard I try, I can’t escape who I am?”
“Something like that.”
“That is not helpful, your Highness.”
T’Challa chuckled, looking you over carefully before reaching over to wipe a stray tear that ran down your cheek, “You have to accept yourself. That is what I mean.”
