#or at least a cleaner break 😭😭😭

This Post is about Fuu.

(Because he's been rotting in my brain for the last few days and he's one of my favourite characters.)

~INTRO~

This post is mainly about questions and general thoughts surrounding Fuu. This is mainly self-indulgence since this creature has been invading my thoughts non-stop for the last few days. If some parts are kinda cooky or out of place or smt please just ignore them😭

[The research mainly came from The Cleaveland Clinic:]

~/~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~

Ok, so you guys remember when the trash beast was falling apart and everyone was sorta freaking out? Noerde got YEETED out the beast and presumably died or at the least very injured. The cleaners escaped thanks to Guita's jinki and the Vandals thanks to that girl's manhole. But what about Fuu?

It is VERY CLEAR that the vandals abandoned him, and yet the next time we see him, he's seemingly completely unscathed from the prior events of the story.

(I mean the title of the chapter didn't even bother saying "the people left behind" instead of "the woman left behind" but that's prob bc Noerde was the main subject) he doesn't have any means of escape, and let's be honest,

He is not able to do anything alone.

His whole character seems to be centured around his absolute dependency on someone else. Especially when it comes to leading and making decisions. The minute he has to act independently, Fuu completely breaks down and spirals into panic extremely fast.

Also, in this panel, Fuu talks about a "flaw" he has to fix. This could be just a natural flaw someone could be born with and that he was born with these extremely negative traits.

But in this case, his main flaw is dependency. Something like this is usually grown out of. Obviously, this can very easily be different for everyone. But, for this trait to be so present and strong in someone they legitimately collapse and completely break down the way Fuu does.

~/~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~

There can be many reasons, but in this context, I'm theorizing that Fuu has Dependant Personality Disorder.

But first, what is DPD?

"Dependent personality disorder (DPD) is a mental health condition that involves an excessive need to be taken care of by others. A person with DPD relies on people close to them for their emotional or physical needs. Others may describe them as needy or clingy.

People with DPD believe they can’t take care of themselves. They may have trouble making everyday decisions, like what to wear or what food to eat, without others’ reassurance. They usually don’t realize that their thoughts and behaviours are problematic."-Cleveland Clinic

~/~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~

This paragraph describes Fuu's behaviour pretty darn well. Even when he was supposed to fight Enjin. Fuu essentially just begged Enjin to begin the battle. This could tie in with his jinki tho...

This theory can explain why Fuu doesn't really seem to acknowledge his way of acting. I could be wrong but it seems as if Fuu isn't aware that his way of behaving is off-putting.

(I mean the amount of lack of awareness you need to pull up on the guy you were supposed to fight and lost to pitifully, calling him master'n sir...)

People with DPD typically don't realize their actions are weird or problematic. This disorder can easily explain his weird clinginess to Enjin given he sees him as a role model and someone he can depend on.

There are a few causes for this disorder to come up,

Experiencing abuse: People who have a history of abusive relationships have a higher risk of a DPD diagnosis.

2. Childhood trauma: Children who have experienced child abuse (including verbal abuse) or neglect may develop DPD. It may also affect people who experienced a life-threatening illness during childhood.

3. Genetics: Someone with a biological family member who has DPD or another anxiety disorder may be more likely to have a DPD diagnosis.

(I'm leaning more toward the first and second, because of smt we'll talk about a little later...)

~/~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~

Ok, let's get back to the trash beast thing...

It's clear that Fuu used his jinki to escape the trash thing. But his jinki is weird...

His jinki seems to have some conscience. It can speak and is aware of its surroundings and situation. Since Urana hasn't shown us all the world, I'm just gonna assume jinkis aren't "alive" and that Fuu is a special case. In fact, his jinki seems waaaayy more in control and in charge than Fuu himself.

The way I see it, Fuu is the battery that supplements Hii, given that jinkis need to be taken good care of and be loved. Fuu is the perfect candidate due to his possible disorder. Hii is the leader, the one in charge whenever Fuu needs it, (which is essentially all the time)

The word that describes their relationship best is DEPENDENCY, A TOXIC ONE:

Fuu needs Hii to take charge and Hii needs Fuu to give him love and attention to stay alive.

Fuu's entire character is surrounded by DEPENDANCY.

On top of Hii's intelligence, he is surely a very strong jinki. I mean think about it, if my theory is right, a person with DPD would have a lot of love and dependence on their jinki, which would increase its power. Also, to be handpicked by Zodyl means you're a special case.

~/~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~

Hii's independence could explain why Zodyl showed interest in Fuu even with his cowardliness and lack of combat experience.

Perhaps Zodyl wanted to test to see what would happen during a fight:

Is Fuu the one in charge during fights? If so, how does he manage it?

Or is it Hii? If so, how does he operate? Do they work together or one at a time?

When does Hii come out? When Fuu needs help/is in danger or just whenever he feels like it?

What is his limit? Does he have any true potential?

HOW STRONG IS FUU IN REALITY?

Obviously, Fuu did NOT pass the vibe check and is abandoned.

But I think that's gonna bite Zodyl in the ass later for one reason:

He didn't think Fuu would switch teams,

the fucking cleaners no less.

AND FINALLY...

~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~~//~

HII'S CREATION

Remember in the middle of this essay I said I would why I think causes 1&2 of DPD have smt to do with Hii? Well, here it is...

I think Hii is Fuu's abuser

Well, specifically, I think he is supposed to be Fuu's abuser, almost to replace or incarnate his former abuser.

Let me explain...

See how one of the causes of DPD is an abusive relationship or a traumatic childhood?

"People who have a history of abusive relationships have a higher risk of a DPD diagnosis."-Cleveland Clinic

"Children who have experienced child abuse (including verbal abuse) or neglect may develop DPD."-Cleveland Clinic

WELL...I think Fuu had an abuser, whether it was a parent, friend or even lover, and it was BAD. But Fuu endured it either because he had nowhere else to go or was deluded into thinking that the person loved him (which I think fits him best...)

Eventually, the abuser abandoned Fuu and my man was crushed. The abuser had made him so dependent on them that once they left, he didn't know what to do. Something was missing... so he found Hii.

He basically used him the way a kid uses eany meany miney mo. Whenever he had to make a decision, he would use his imagination and wonder: "what would [ ] do?"

As you can imagine, the love and care Fuu gave Hii made him go back to life. And that's how I think Hii came to life.

~OUTROOOO~

Fuuuuuuuuucccckkk this was longer than I thought it was gonna be😭😭😭

God only knows

So helpful series part 2

1.7k words

| dark!joel miller

fun fact immediately when I posted the original part 2 I hated it! Maybe I’m too critical of my work 😔 but I’ve decided to give this a redo cause who doesn’t love a sequel. Quick shoutout to the 43 people who read the original part2. Got inspired to write this by listening to ‘God only knows’ by The Beach Boys.

⚠️:DARK!joel, breaking and entering(he’s back inside her apartment😭),right out the gate m!masturbation, PANTY SNIFFING, panty stealing again, mentions of f!oral but none happens, drug use(weed), Joel watches her from her closet, more m!masturbation(not sorry)

It’s the third time today Joel’s tugged at his cock. His hand working his red aching tip. He can’t possibly have anymore left in him to give your already came on underwear. Joel jerks his hand faster imagining you on your bed, hand between your legs, and his name on your lips. You’ve been home all day and so has Joel. Hearing your music playing from the other side of the wall, Joel doesn’t mind thought it reminds him that you’re still there, sauntering around your apartment in only a big t shirt and a pair of underwear just egging Joel on to jerk off some more. But he can’t anymore, at least not on your same pair of panties he’s had for a week now. Joel’s hands go for his phone opening the ring app to see you washing the dishes, hips swaying and head bopping to the music playing from your tv.

If you’re home, Joel’s home which means in the week since he’s broken in and had you here in his apartment he hasn’t left. He calls his brother, ignoring Tommy’s concerns, but mostly says he has to work from home, and to forward him any work on the computer that needs to be done while Joel sits at home writing his name on checks and jerking his cock. Joel’s hand lets go of his cock because even he knows he has nothing else to give. He heads to his bathroom and washes his hands, looking down at his red puffy tip he sighs and just wishes he could cure his addiction for you. Maybe if he just had a taste, a small crumb of you on his lips. He would wear your spent proudly on his beard hours after eating you out if you’d just let him.

The running water from you washing dishes stops, Joel comes rushing back to his phone that’s charging on his pillow. He sees you standing in the middle of the apartment looking around at all the cleaning you did. The whole place is spic and span. Joel could smell the floral cleaner from you mopping earlier through his air vent. He watches your bare feet walk across the living room and down the hall into your bedroom where you begin to strip down and head into the bathroom. You’re about to take a shower. Joel just can’t take it anymore, he sees the panties that you’ve been wearing all day sitting right on the floor in front of your bed. It’s now or never so Joel very quickly slips on his shorts and shirt and grabs the key to your apartment.

His phone held tight in his hand as he makes sure you’re still in the shower. He slowly slips the key inside the slot and unlocks the deadbolt. His eyes dart back at the phone for a second then back to the key moving to the bottom lock now. The door is unlocked all he has to do is open it. Joel’s only been nervous a couple times in his life. Once when Sarah’s mom told him she was pregnant, the second time when Sarah was born, and right now sneaking into your apartment while you’re still inside. He opens the door and slips in quick. He turns and slowly shuts the door, it clicks into place when it’s fully closed. The shower is still running, your music still playing, your singing echos from your bedroom bath and right into his ears. His feet take him down the hall, slowly working around the hardwood floor hoping it doesn’t creek. As he walks closer to your room his view of it opens more and he can see the panties sitting right there on the floor of your bed that’s directly in line with the bathroom door.

It’s a dangerous game he’s playing but he just can’t help himself. The smell of your vanilla shampoo overtakes his senses and for a small brief moment he thinks of walking right in that bathroom pulling back the curtain and seeing you there completely wet, suds everywhere on your body, absolutely vulnerable to him. The darker part of him subsides, for now as he just bends down and grabs what he came for. He takes the dainty pair of used pink panties and brings them to his nose. The savory scent of you fills his nose. A wet spot right on the crotch he can’t help but let his tongue dance over it. One hand slips down to his cup himself over his shorts, being careless he lets out an audible moan. The shower stops.

Joel quickly dashes to the closet right outside your bedroom. it holds towels and the water heater. Joel barely squeezes in before you come out the bathroom. Drops of water from your hair hitting the ground as your feet pat bare against the floor into the living room to turn off the tv. Joel’s forehead is pressed into the door watching you walk past the cracked open door. It’s getting hotter inside the closet. Joels big hand still holds you panties while the other holds the door barely closed. Coming back out from the bathroom, this time wrapped in a towel, to clean the floor of the water with your shirt you were wearing earlier.

“The fuck happened to my underwear?” She whispers to herself, Joel barely catches it. He sees you beginning to get dressed again this time putting shorts on. Hopefully you’re leaving so Joel can get out of here. You lean down and rummage through your bag on the floor for a few seconds before pulling out a little baggie of weed. She lets out a little giggle before sitting in the middle of her bed and grabbing a tray off her nightstand. She starts to grind up the weed and roll it into a joint. Good she’ll go outside Joel thinks to himself. He can feel the beads of sweat rolling down his back. Her phone starts to make different noises. The sounds of new videos starting as she scrolls through it.

He doesn’t think he can take anymore of this. He’s sweating bullets from you being right there and the water hearing right behind him. When you do finally get up from the bed Joel can hear the glass back door slide open and you stepping out then the door closing back. He practically falls out the closet feeling the air conditioner coat him, the beads of sweat starting to dry on his body. Your cat on your bed just staring at the strange man who just emerged from the closet. He hisses at him and starts to swat his paw at Joel. He gets the message, he needs to leave. Slowly he peaks his head around the corner to see you sat in a chair with your back towards the glass door.

Joel goes for the front door and grabs the knob but not before looking back at you. The clouds of smoke coming from you, the occasional cough coming from your lungs. Oh how he wants to just have you in his lap while the two of y’all smoke. Shotgunning the smoke from his mouth into yours, both of your lips barely touching as he blows it into your mouth. He shakes his head to escape the never ending thoughts of you and him to finally leave.

As Joel finally enters his apartment his back presses against the door as he slowly slides down it. What he did was careless and stupid and he should know better, but he doesn’t. His hand wipes the sweat from his brow and moves down to cup his raging erection. The absolute thrill he got from that was insane. He pulls his shorts over his cock and lets the band rest right under his balls he digs in his pocket past his phone for the pair of panties. He holds them to his nose and begins to stroke his cock. Using the small pearls of precum to work his tip. He sticks his tongue out, it lightly touches the cotton of her panties that hang over his nose.

God, Joel can’t wait for the day until he can get you on his face. He’d tie your hands to his headboard and get a spreader bar between your knees. He’d have you hanging right over his face for hours while his tongue works multiple orgasms from you. Pulling sweet moans then as the hours pass he’d get you begging him to stop. Until he’s licked you clean, until he knows for sure you have nothing else to give him. He grabs the panties from his face and wraps them around his cock feeling the elastic band of her panties getting tighter around him as he strangles his cock with them.

His hand jerks himself faster now he can feel the coil inside him getting red hot. A bubble forming in his throat as he tries to moan your name out. Joel’s eyes squeeze shut, the imagine of you bouncing in his lap is all he has playing behind closed eyes. His balls tense up and ropes of hot white cum come flying out of him and onto the panties. His hands tugs a couple more times before he can’t touch himself anymore. His thighs trembling under him as he just continues to sit on the floor. He moves forward, his back unsticking from the metal front door. He stands up but not before his knees could barely give out on him. Grabbing the kitchen counter he leans himself against it. He’s definitely feeling his age. The pent up adrenaline from hiding in your closet now subsiding.

Your panties fall from his lap, his cock is still out, and onto the floor as Joel bends down to retrieve them he can hear your front door open and close. You’re finally out of the house, maybe Joel can get some work done now that he has a new pair of your panties at his disposal.

The Rookie Detective: Joseph Oda x Fem! Reader (Chapter 4)

short synposis: joseph goes and visits sebastian, only to find out both his alcoholism and living conditions were worse than he thought. after helping him tidy up a bit and sustaining a cut on his face, the reader takes care of his wounds and lets him stay the night after he caught a cold <3

a/n: omg this only took me like a week to upload idk why this took me so long to write 😭 and these chapters just keep getting longer so i cut it a bit short at the end </3

word count: 4331

“Hey! Open up, I know you’re in there.”

Silence.

“Ugh,” Joseph grumbled, pounding on the door another few times.

“I’m not leaving until you open the door! I don’t care how long you decide to ignore me for!”

More silence.

The lush potted plants that used to decorate the patio had turned brown and moldy. A thick layer of dust coated his door handle, indicating that Sebastian hadn’t had visitors in a long while. 

“Don’t make me break down this door, Sebastian!” Joseph exclaimed, knocking another frustrated 3-4 times.

With an exasperated sigh, Joseph leaned onto one of the pillars just outside of Sebastian’s door.

He waited for about 30 seconds before he decided to begin knocking again until he heard the sweet sound of the latch unlocking. Finally emerging from behind the door, Sebastian’s hair was greasy and run amok, his now raggedy white tee-shirt was stained with what appeared to be remnants of alcohol, and his eyes were bloodshot.

“What do you want, Joseph? Just leave me be,” Sebastian’s voice was low and husky.

“You know I can’t do that,” Joseph said, letting himself in as he lightly pushed Sebastian aside to get through.

Taking off his shoes, Joseph’s nose immediately crinkled up at the sheer stench of the inside of his home. It reeked of alcohol and dust mixed with body odor. The entirety of his living room was riddled with stains, empty beer cans, and leftover bottles of wine. There was dust all over the fireplace and on the coffee table. As he entered the living room, taking in the gross and utterly pitiful sight, his attention was redirected by a noise from beside him.

“Do you like your gift, Lily?”

Joseph turned to the source of the sound. There was a video playing on the TV, it appeared to have been recorded on an old VHS. Myra was sitting next to Lily in front of a Christmas tree as she helped Lily to open her gift. A large, white teddy bear emerged from the red and white wrapping paper, it wore a Christmas hat and held a big red heart.

“I love it! Thanks so much papa!” Lily squeezed the bear in a hug before running behind the camera and into Sebastian’s arms.

The sight pained Joseph. How long has Sebastian been watching that for? Reminiscing over old memories of the family who had been brutally stolen from him?

“When’s the last time you’ve cleaned up around here? Or even taken a shower?” Joseph asked.

Joseph quickly went to find Sebastian’s pantry closet, where he grabbed a black trash bag and began to clean up all the leftover beer cans and bottles of wine. 

How does he live like this? Joseph thought to himself, his trash bag already halfway full despite there being even more bottles, cans, and even used tissues to clean up.

Sebastian didn’t say a word, but decided the least he could do was help him clean up the mess. Grabbing a trash bag and standing beside Joseph, he too began to clean up all of the trash left scattered around the living room.

Neither of them said a word as they both collected all of the leftover remnants. 

As Joseph picked up the last beer can, a cockroach scurried out from underneath, making him wince.

“Eugh, when’s the last time you’ve vacuumed?” Joseph asked as he watched the cockroach crawl behind the couch.

Sebastian didn’t answer, only grabbing the two full trash bags and taking them to the trash bin in his front yard. As Joseph went to return to the pantry for a vacuum cleaner, he noticed an empty bottle of alcohol left on his kitchen table.

“Looks like I missed one,” Joseph muttered to himself as he went to grab the bottle.

Grabbing the bottle by its neck, it slipped out of his grasp before he was able to catch it. The bottle smashed against the floor with a jarring ‘kersploosh!’ 

Shit.

Gathering up all the shards with his hands, he dumped all of the shards into a small trash bag to be thrown out later.

Joseph sighed, rubbing off any dust that got on his face. Returning to the pantry closet in search of a vacuum, he noticed a drop of red drip onto the floor. 

Was that.. blood?

A second drop of blood dripped onto his sock.

“Ouch!” Joseph lightly winced as he felt around his face for an open cut. 

There was what felt to be a slight cut just underneath his eye, and he had just added a second one as he continued to feel around his face. Looking down at his glove, there were small bits of glass shards likely from the broken bottle he dropped. It stung, but it was getting late and Joseph wanted to return home as quickly as he could for work in the morning. So he settled for quickly removing his gloves for the time being and dabbing the bleed site with a paper towel before he quickly returned to tending to Sebastian’s ungodly living situation.

Plugging the vacuum in, he proceeded to vacuum the entire area of carpet within his living room. The sound of the vacuum running over the carpet elicited a series of cracking noises as it removed all the dust and grime. As Sebastian re-emerged from his garage, he assisted Joseph by moving his furniture out of the way for Joseph to vacuum.

Minutes turned into hours as Joseph cleaned up around Sebastian’s home for him. While his home wasn’t exactly spotless, it was certainly in better condition than before.

“You should really consider getting help, Sebastian. Maybe getting a therapist,” Joseph suggested, taking his glasses off and inspecting all of the dust that covered its lenses. 

Sebastian, again, didn’t answer. Only breaking eye contact.

“I appreciate your help, Joseph.” “Hey, I’m serious! This isn’t healthy. How long have you been rewatching that video of Myra and Lily? You can’t drink all your problems away, Sebastian!” Joseph frustratedly huffed.

“What I do outside of work is none of your goddamn business.”

“I know you’re upset right now, so I’ll give you time to think over my offer. But, I do hope that you will begin therapy by your own prerogative,” Joseph replied as he put his glasses back on and began to make his way to the door.

Unsurprisingly, Joseph was only met by silence.

Shutting the front door behind him, Joseph pinched the bridge of his nose as he stood at the front of the patio.

“Please don’t make this harder than this already is, Sebastian,” Joseph muttered to himself under his breath.

Taking one final glance at the patio before he set on his way, he noticed one of the potted plants had been knocked over, likely due to the wind. He never knew Myra enjoyed gardening, but the abundance of plants around the house spoke for themselves. He carefully picked up the pot and set it upright, the leaves crunching as they rattled within the confines of the pot.

Joseph sighed. The scene was nothing short of depressive. 

“Not even the plants can survive without you, Myra,” said Joseph as he carefully scooped back up the loose soil that fell out of the pot.

“Wherever you are,” he paused for a moment, “Sebastian misses you. Both you and Lily.”

He got up, quickly dusting himself off as he finally made his way to his car. The deep blue color of the sky flooded the streets in darkness. With the only hint of illumination cascading down onto the busy streets from the moon, Joseph nearly tripped over his own two feet.

Just about to approach the last step down from Sebastian’s porch, his phone loudly rang from the inside of his pocket. The jarring sound made him jump as he quickly fumbled through his pockets to answer the rather unexpected phone call. Looking down at the caller ID, he held a certain level of uncertainty as to whether or not he remembered your phone number correctly, and if it really was you he was receiving a call from.

“Hello?” Joseph spoke into the phone, hoping to hear your voice on the other line.

“Joseph?” You replied, your voice a bit gravely after just waking up.

“(First Name)! I thought you’d be sleeping!” He replied, his heart rate immediately increasing upon hearing your voice.

“Your note was so considerate, Joseph. I– uh..” you gulped, “I wanted to check up on you.” Joseph immediately felt his face heat up.

“You.. you did?” He stammered, flattered that you were thinking of him.

“In the note you wrote that in case I was sleeping, you said you didn’t want to call in case you’d wake me up since I hadn’t gotten any sleep last night. So.. I wanted to check up on you. To see how everything went with Sebastian.”

You were just so sweet. You should have been sleeping right now, really. You were very clearly exhausted by how you were acting in the office earlier that day. He could even hear the exhaustion in your voice, but here you were, sacrificing precious time just to check up on him. His stomach was doing somersaults and he could feel his face heat up all the way up to his ears.

“It– it went.. alright I suppose. Sebastian’s not doing so great. He’s been watching this video on repeat for– God knows how long– of Lily and Myra opening Christmas presents. His house was a mess. All kinds of empty bottles of alcohol, and so much dust and grime everywhere. He’s falling apart,” Joseph felt his chest tighten, “I wanted to help him clean up as much as I could before I had to go back home, so I helped him clean up a bit and vacuum. And of course, I accidentally knocked over a bottle and cut myself on my face of all places.”

“That’s very kind of you, Joseph. Simply based on what I’ve heard, I would highly advise him to begin seeing a therapist. And, who’s Myra and Lily?” You asked.

Joseph sighed, he accidentally said too much.. again.

“I’m sorry, (First Name). I would tell you, but I still hold a lot of respect for Sebastian. He’s been a very good friend of mine for years, I would never want to ruin that,” he explained, feeling a bit bad for continuing to leave you confused.

“That’s alright, Joseph. I understand completely. And– and you said that you accidentally cut yourself, right? You didn’t happen to cut yourself with glass, did you?” You inquired, unsure of whether to be concerned or not.

“Uh.. yeah,” Joseph replied, a tinge of embarrassment present in his tone.

“Shit, did you tend to it properly!? Come back to my apartment,” you told him.

Joseph elicited a noise which consisted of a mix of grunt of confusion and slight panic. “Glass cuts can leave microshards which could be dangerous if they enter your bloodstream! I’ll clean it up for you, just come over to my apartment! I’ll remove them for you.” You quickly interjected,

“(First Name), are you sure that’s necessary? The cuts are really shallow–” “Just do it!” Your voice was laced with a sort of motherly aggression with how insistent you were on tending to his wounds.

He seemed to contemplate for a moment whether he should truly decline the offer or not. Despite how much he would enjoy the extra time with you, it was getting quite late. But apparently, the word “no” had recently escaped from his vocabulary. 

“Alright, I’m on my way,” Joseph replied, nearly facepalming upon hearing how quickly he said accepted your offer.

You almost fell out of your seat, you weren’t expecting him to say yes so quickly. But you were glad to spend more time with him.

“Sounds great! I–I mean, well, I’m glad I can tend to your wound since glass cuts can be tricky,” you stammered, you likely sounded a bit too excited for him to be coming over again.

A smile pricked at the corners of Joseph’s mouth.

“I’ll see you soon, (First Name).” 

Shortly after hanging up the phone, Joseph inwardly sighed before taking a moment to gaze up at the night sky.

“You really are going to be the death of me, (First Name),” Joseph muttered to himself before quickly entering the front seat of his car.

You were practically bouncing off the walls, but you kept reminding yourself that the only reason he was coming over was so that you could help him tend to his cuts. Quickly rinsing your face with cold water to bring down the persistent blush that never seemed to falter at the idea of him, you quickly rushed to grab your first aid kit from one of your drawers. Quickly setting it down onto your coffee table, you rushed to your bathroom for some cotton balls, tweezers and some hydrogen peroxide. You quickly fixed the pillows on your couch and dusted off your coffee table a bit, even spraying a bit of air freshener just in case. Right after the last spritz, as if on cue, you heard a knock at your door.

You practically threw the air freshener down as you scurried over to the door, not wanting to leave him waiting (and also being way too excited to see him), you quickly opened the door to greet him.

As the door swung open, the open cuts on Joseph’s face, just underneath his left eye, immediately caught your attention. While they didn’t look too deep, one of them stretched from the middle of his cheekbone all the way to just underneath the corner of his eye. The second one, while not as long, was significantly deeper and intersected the first cut, it looked about an inch long.

“Jesus, Joseph! How did you cut your face that badly?” You asked, a bit of blood threatening to spill from the second cut on his face.

Not even giving him a chance to answer, you grabbed his arm and pulled him inside, shutting the door behind him.

He let out a surprised grunt as his shoes squeaked against your floor as he tried to maintain his balance.

“I– sorry,” he meekly apologized as he quickly kicked off his shoes before walking onto your carpet.

“Here, have a seat,” you directed him to your couch where you quickly sat beside him to begin treating his wounds.

“Please remove your glasses,” you directed as you grabbed a cotton ball.

You poured a bit of hydrogen peroxide onto the cotton ball as you very gently dabbed it onto his face. He winced immediately, flinching a bit upon contact.

Gently resting your hand on the back of his head, you gently blew onto the open cut so it wouldn’t sting as much. 

“Just a few more seconds, Joseph. I just need to sterilize the site of the injury before I can properly treat it,” you explained as you continuously dabbed the cotton ball onto his cheek while blowing onto it.

He nodded in response, and you quickly finished up the disinfection process before you quickly grabbed your tweezers. Upon further inspection, there were tiny glass shards sitting inside of the smaller, deeper cut.

“There’s a couple of glass shards in one of the cuts. I’ll try to be as gentle as I can, I promise,” you cooed, gently pushing his head towards you so you could take a better look.

He bit the inside of his cheek at the blush that flooded his cheeks.

“Try to stay as still as you can for me,” you gently requested, unconsciously biting your lip as you tried your best to stay focused.

He gulped, his eyes darting between your hand, your eyes, and your lips. He could’ve sworn he could hear his heart racing with how close you were, that focused look in your eyes, and the way you bit down on your lip. On the bright side, it served as a good distraction. He almost couldn’t feel the tweezers reaching into the cut on his face and removing the wedged pieces of glass.

“There you go. Just like that,” you muttered as you carefully pulled out the last tiny glass shard.

As you finally took your hand off of the base of his neck and turned to put down the tweezers, Joseph let out a breath he hadn’t even known he was holding in to begin with. He felt his hands slowly unclench the base of his thighs and his shoulders loosen.

Quickly grabbing some neosporin, you squeezed a small amount onto your finger and turned back to Joseph.

“We’re almost done,” you smiled, motioning for him to turn his head slightly towards you again.

“Try to be more careful next time, please. Had this cut been even just a tad bit longer, you would’ve cut yourself in the eye,” your thumb lightly grazing over the end of the slit, just underneath his eye.

“You’re lucky none of these cuts were too deep, either. The last thing you’d want is stitches. But these look shallow enough to be able to heal on their own. Hopefully they don’t leave any scars..” you were so close he could feel your breath against his neck.

He felt himself tense at the close proximity. The scent of your hair conditioner flooded his senses and he could feel every single word in his vocabulary get stolen from him. His words had escaped him, and he was unable to say a single word. His face was beet red, his blush even more apparent given his pale complexion. 

Confused that he hadn’t responded, you took a moment to step back and scan his face, wondering if you had said something wrong. Immediately, the blush on his face caught your attention. Had you overstepped his boundaries? You quickly retracted your hand and immediately felt a pit in your chest open up. Had you made him uncomfortable? “I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to overstep if I got a bit too touchy. I guess I just– I don't know– I don’t know what happened. I’m sorry if I made you uncomfortable–” you stammered, unconsciously beginning to twirl your hair in discomfort.

“No, no it’s alright! I– I guess must have spaced out, it was nothing you did (First Name). You didn’t overstep at all, and you were very gentle. I promise,” Joseph reassured you as he placed a hand on your shoulder, the blush on his cheeks gradually beginning to subside.

Now it was your turn to become flustered, apparently. Your cheeks lit up at the contact as you finally looked up at him. Your eyes catching a glimpse of his hands without his gloves for the first time. His fingers were long and slender, with a few veins stretching from his knuckles all the way down to his forearms. They were even prettier than you had imagined.

“Thank you for taking care of me, (First Name). We’ve only just met and you’re already lending me your kindness. And for that I thank you,” he added, his eyes darting between your eyes and your lips.

You were just so beautiful. Inside and out, and that fact had him in a chokehold. Part of him wanted to kiss you, badly. And the other part of him internally scolded himself for having such thoughts about you, an amazing woman that he had only just met.

You couldn’t find the words to speak at first, you were too flustered to even think straight. At first, all you could do was give him a small nod.

“Y-yeah, any– anytime, Joseph. It’s– it’s no problem, really!” You stumbled over your words, beet red at this point.

You could feel his hand slowly move upwards, his hand just barely touching the base of your neck. As you looked up at him, your lips unconsciously parting, his eyes seemed to dart between your eyes and your mouth.  

The tension was killing you. You had only just met him and yet here you were, falling, hard.

You quickly stood up, “How about I make you some tea!” You said as you made your way over to the kitchen.

“Ah– sure,” he replied, stifling a chuckle at your reaction.

“I have all sorts of teas here, I have Green, Earl Gray, chai, English Breakfast, which would you prefer?” You asked, taking extra care to hide your blushing face as you rummaged through your pantry.

“Earl Gray would be perfect!” He replied, leaning back on your couch, the soft pillows cradling his back perfectly. 

The scent of your air freshener was strangely relaxing. His eyes seemed to shut on their own as he let his head rest on the back of your couch. The light whirr from your fan and the sound of you preparing his tea was oddly comforting. He was exhausted from all of the events of today. He took extra care to drive you home after work, he had to help Sebastian clean up his living area, and he was going to have to drive home now after you finished preparing his tea. 

What time is it right now? Should I shower tonight or in the morning? I’ll probably shower in the morning since I’ll be too tired once I get home. It sure smells nice in (First Name)’s apartment. Joseph thought to himself, but all of his scattered thoughts slowly grew quieter. He was so tired he hadn’t even realized he was slowly drifting off to sleep.

After a few minutes of warming up the water and letting the tea bag steep, you stirred some honey into his tea. After you threw out the tea bag, you were finally ready to serve it to Joseph. 

Carefully placing the mug onto your coffee table, “It’s a bit hot, so be careful,” you said, only to be met by Joseph’s sleeping form. His ankles were crossed and his arms were folded over his stomach. His head was slightly tilted to the side. You quietly admired his features as he laid there. He had very nice, sharp features. Prominent cheekbones with a sharp jawline and a noticeably good side profile. He looked so tranquil. How could you ever want to wake someone who looked so soothed and peaceful while they slept?

You were taken aback when he elicited a sudden twitch in his sleep. You quickly looked away in case he woke up, not wanting to be caught staring. Slowly looking back at him, you now had another problem on your hands. A moral dilemma, if you will.

Should you wake him up and get him to go home and rest? Or should you just let him sleep here? What is the right thing to do in this situation? Part of you wanted to just let him sleep there, but what if he got upset once he awoke for not waking him up? You sighed, deciding that the best thing to do would be to wake him up. 

You gently placed a hand on his shoulder, “Joseph!” You whisper-yelled, hoping that somehow, that would be enough to wake him.

Unsurprisingly, he was still asleep. 

You lightly shook him, “Joseph?” You called out again, and were slightly disappointed when he began to stir and wake up from his slumber.

His eyes slowly opened, taking in his surroundings like he had forgotten where he was for a moment. He lightly rubbed his eyes as he slowly began to sit back up.

“O-oh, (First Name). I hadn’t realized I fell asleep,” he yawned, searching for his glasses.

You quickly took his glasses from your table and handed them to him,  your hands just barely touching for a moment.

“Thanks,” he quickly muttered as he put his glasses on.

He seemed to take a moment to let his eyes adjust to the brightness of your living room as his blinking had become slightly more rapid and he was still slightly squinting. 

“Achoo!” He sneezed, covering his mouth with his elbow.

He sniffled, rubbing one of his eyes.

“Bless you,” you said, immediately grabbing him a tissue.

He cleared his throat.

“I.. I don’t feel very well. I think I may have caught something after my visit to Sebastian’s place,” Joseph grumbled, his voice sounding nasally with congestion.

“Have some tea! It'll make you feel better!” You quickly advised, handing him the mug.

He gently took the mug from you and had a sip. His eyebrows raised slightly in pleasant surprise.

“You make very good tea,” he commented, taking another sip before breaking out into a violent coughing fit.

“Oh Joseph, you might be coming down with something,” you speculated, pressing the back of your fingertips onto his forehead. 

“You’re burning up, Joseph!” You said in a conciliatory tone, “Why don’t you stay here for the night? You need to rest.”

“No– I couldn’t possibly ask that of you,” Joseph politely declined as he tried to stand, before breaking into another violent coughing fit.

“You’re not asking, I’m offering. You took the time to drive me home, walk me all the way here, and even tuck me in. Please, I insist,” you placed a hand on his shoulder as you looked him in the eyes.

You were just so painfully hard to say no to. 

“Ah.. alright. Thank you, (First Name).” You couldn’t fight the big smile that spread across your face.

“Would you like to take a shower? You’re welcome to use mine. And I’ll get you some clothes to change into as well!” You added as you got up to find your dresser.

“That would be great. Thank you again,” he sniffled as he went to grab another tissue.

The moment you left the room and shut the door behind you, you couldn’t help but jump up and down like a little kid. Right as you finally settled down, you gathered some of your most oversized clothes to provide for him.

Who knew taking care of the guy you liked would be so fun?

[grahamcarmen]

Do you think gray ever ended up killing anyone, i've seen 2 takes on this:-

He did.

Since he knew carmen would be upset after seeing her reaction, powered the crackle rod to stun mode. I like both, the first gives way for great character exploration as "Sabor a mi" and the second is very believable. What do you think?

😭I wanna say no cause I like him ( Carmen standing directly behind me as his defense lawyer)

But in terms of stray thoughts on this (sorry if they're scattered on pro v con)

That roof on the train does indeed have a hole in it so for the time she was out exploring the world before she was carmen there was a wild gray on the loose with a crackle rod strong enough to break and burn on impact

He may say he doesn't regret anything but actually trying to hurt carmen specifically but gray does have his own sense of guilt when prodded about the philosophies he's adopted on the train at least

Especially when you "steal lives" which you could take as only referring to the attempt they're talking about at the moment or...

And as we see later this + carmen does result in the permanent stun mode when nobody knew (aka had nothing to do with carmen until the moment she used it)

No matter how CAPABLE of violence he actually seems to shy away from fights or kills he doesn't need to seem to take and like i don't see EVERY mission needing to mean bodies on the floor if you're just a good thief who doesn't get caught. Which he is. Even if it is VILE.

That being said there's not a zero possibility that he was put in another situation to kill a witness and he...would.

He doubles down on pushing through to the idea that this is his nature :/

Lmao he's lucky those guns at acme are stun gun equivalents. He is efficient and ruthless when taking them down.

O.o or maybe he knew? Idk how much difference that would make at that point in time

Hes bellums boy. It doesn't happen all the time but there are shown to be occasions for VILE faculty to call favorite agents for certain missions. Most Bellum missions have huge collateral damage potential

VILE does have that no loose ends rule at all

That being said this show has only given me 1 corpse. And its acme's. 1 1/2 if we count our poor almost barbecued gray (and that was VILE's but only if the agent on site was a traitor)

Those people at the dig that tigress and le chevre knocked out in ep 2 are...just knocked out to me. Like idk they wake up with a bad headache and stolen digsite with zero memories of who did it . Sorry I dont even count the cleaners as menace (sorry you guys are efficient and have a scary reputation i promise 😔✌)

Heck actually a lot of the crackle rods we see are at stun mode naturally(gray is always having to dial it up, eel did not die, carmen presumably did not kill the guards around gray☆ or even the 6 months she was dark! Kill count is not mentioned among her crimes and she's really ready to pounce on witnesses)

Counter point HE DOES DIAL IT UP ON SCREEN matching carmen for 2 attempts we can see and only fails because carmen is carmen ♡

Define...necessary to use for him?

No idea when he did the permanent stun mode . could have been immediately getting back could have been mid dark! Carmen era or the week before he turns himself in

I actually might think he'd be ok not needing to use the crackle rod and just taking comfort in the menace/power it projects ok

Like not even a carmen told him to way but a he takes a bit of time canonically way

But if its "necesary"...

TLDR: personally lean towards no (knee jerk blorbo biased reaction) and especially in dark! Red era even if we don't know when the permastun was enforced but im not against exploring the idea because its not impossible that he did come across the situations he "had " to offscreen before the train? Boy is a pretty efficient agent. And he's...capable.

✦ last line / wip day

tagged by the lovely @nuclearstorms, thank you bones!!!! so i decided to go about this a little bit differently because i have not written anything in the past year or so, and as such, i genuinely have no last lines or wips to share sooooo i am instead gonna take the wip day prompt and use it to showcase some new ocs i made 💓

thanks to state of decay 2 community creation, they give you completely generated characters to start your community with and they all come with built in stats and traits and names so it makes fleshing out characters fairly easy!!! this is my new community i started a few days ago called "the ones left behind" (the communities are all given names too which is fun!)

so from left to right we have sergio "checo" may, farooq "brain cleaner" tarabey, and ángel "cupido" fuentes!!! they are currently residing in trumbull valley in a small military fort at the edge of the map.

sergio

23

bisexual

santa maya resident

college student before the outbreak (he was studying environmental sciences)

absolutely adores gardening shows and thus gains a morale boost if the base has a garden and he has the gardening skill!

tells bad jokes and is often the target of conflicts in the community (this gives the community a -3 morale 😭)

but he laughs easily which gives the community +4 morale boost so he makes up for it KDKLFJDS

him and farooq get into arguments a lot during the early days because of low resources and close quarters :/

farooq

38

gay

old sequelones resident

psychiatrist before the outbreak

leader of the community!

one cute trait he has is the "kind eyes" trait so i like to imagine he can just stare at people if they are overwhelmed or stressed out and it will help them center themselves (he definitely used this a lot during his psychiatrist days) which comes in handy with the world they are living in now (this gives him a 25% standing reward boost which helps towards how he is viewed by the group!)

he also has the medicine skill so i figure he probably gained a knowledge of first aid while in college because a close friend of his was studying to become a nurse. so he has basically taken on the role of doctor, nurse, pathologist, phlebotomist, and psychiatrist for the community 😭

he got the nickname "brain cleaner" not because of his penchant for knocking zombies heads off, but from college when he was the main person ppl came to to talk about their problems with and left their brains feeling "clean" after... dumb nickname, he knows :/

ángel

18

bisexual

turtle ridge resident

high school graduate (he played for his high school's basketball team)

during high school and the summer breaks, when he was free from sports and school, he was a dog walker for the rich residents of turtle ridge and nearby neighborhoods of whitney junction and squelones so he made BANK because he liked upcharge them DFJLSJD he also likes to brag that he could walk 10 dogs on one leash but never seems to tell the full story where they fully dragged him down the sidewalk and also dislocated his shoulder :/

a major basketball fan, he even thought about going to college on a scholarship since he was one of the best players in his high school's league! he misses the sounds of the court so much :(

he has the sports trivia skill which always comes in handy when doing their weekly game nights when they get to trivia time!!

got the nickname "cupido" because he was essentially the matchmaker at his high school???? he doesn't know how but every time someone asked to be introduced to a friend of his, that couple stayed together for at least 2 years and more. so people just took to calling him cupido because of his matchmaking abilities SLKFSLJDK

so that's my wip prompt fill and my little introduction to my new sod2 community!!!!! feel free to ask any questions abt them because i love them so much 🫶

tagging - whoever that wants to do this!!!

[yuniemaki]

*facefaults into your ask box* FANDOM ASK GAME LETS GO- 8, 11, and 13 :D

Cadri you need to stop destroying my doors and ask boxes LMAO (affectionate)

8. WHY did you join the fandom???

Did i join the fandom or did the fandom suck me in like a vacuum cleaner? i was but a dust mite chilling on the floor wobbling over beiguang and all of a sudden i was sucked into a bag where there are many other dust mites and we are all jiggling about in the bag happily wobbling over beiguang and i like it here, i don't wanna be emptied into the trash with my fellow dust mites-

11. what song do you associate with a character (or 2)?

ohhhh gods i hate this question it kills me when i think about it every time because THIS.... THIS SONG....

手掌心 by Della (Ding Dang) - Ningguang & her love for Beidou

I am going to go on a tangent and break some extracts down because!! SEE MY VISION!!!!

我在南极 憧憬你的北极星 我等你 不信心心不相印

I’m in the South Pole reminiscing about your North Star I'll wait for you; I don't believe our hearts are unconnected

一寸光阴一寸心 一朵昙花一朵云 一朵雪花一朵梦境 一一捧在手掌心 一颗尘埃一菩提 一颗流星一个你 一心一意捧在手掌心

An inch of light, an inch of my love A bloom of cereus*, a blooming cloud A blooming snowflake, a bloom of dreams Held carefully in the heart of my palm A single seed of dust, a Bodhi tree* A single falling star, and only you One heart and one mind Held carefully in the heart of my palm

*-Queen of the Night; known for its fragrance. Symbol of short-lived time; "enjoy the small moments because they do not last".

Everything in this chorus is transient and short-lived and just represents beiguang's fleeting moments together before Beidou leaves, and reflects how Ningguang cherishes these memories to me and how much it means to her- the Bodhi tree, a falling star, a single heart and mind, a snowflake, GAH!!!!!!! STOP!!! IT HURTS!!!!! *punches wall*

你是天地 你是风雨你是晴 你是温柔的叛逆 逆转我的一年四季

You are heaven and earth, you are wind and rain, you are the sun You are tender rebellion You turned my four seasons backwards.

"tender rebellion"... because someone taught her to live in the moment... help

偏偏我越抱越紧 偏偏我越爱越贪心 偏偏要爱到万���穿了心 才死心

Unfortunately, the more I hug you, the closer, tighter it gets Unfortunately, the more I love, the greedier I become Unfortunately it will take a thousand arrows piercing my heart for me to give (you) up

可不可以不甘心 可不可以不认命 如果可以拿我换给你

Is it possible to reject the fate of our love? Is it possible to reject the destiny of our life? If it is all possible, then use my life to save yours.

PLEASE I KNOW IT'S ANGSTY BUT,,, BUT..... BUT!....!!!! AAAGGGHHHHH 😭😭

13. if you could be in the universe of the characters what would you do first?

the idealistic version is i'd somehow get to walk around the jade chamber fr and get to see beidou AND ningguang in-person

the realistic version is i'd probably fall to my knees in front of Ningguang, get arrested for making a scene, and die happy in Liyue jail (at least i got to kiss her feet in-person)

[riverstardis]

fall on me:

holby had an episode on the aftermath of the crash right?

dylan’s complaining about the noise from the building work saying his eardrums are about to explode😭

ethan’s patient immediately asking him if he’s single bc he has no wedding ring on and going “well it’s just that she says there are no handsome single doctors around here, and that’s why she still hasn’t met anybody, but i think she’s just making an excuse” and ethan’s like “sorry who are we talking about?” as alicia notices the board in the background and comes over, revealing that the patient is her mum😭 though alicia’s only been back working there for a week at most and her mum’s already expecting her to be in a relationship??

alicia’s dad calling her scoobie and ethan’s like “scoobie?” and she’s like “don’t ask”🥺

alicia’s parents the og scibbles shippers

alicia and her dad talking “i’m sorry if we embarrassed you in front of your colleague, scoobie” “yeah yeah” “he does seem like a nice lad. ethan” “mm” “ohh the heart is aflutter! so why you dancing round each other?” “i dunno. he’s smart” “hey, no one’s too smart for you” “no i know i- it’s not that, i dunno” “well do something about it then” “right but don’t tell mam okay cause she’ll be booking wedding venues before i can blink” 🥺🥺🥺

elle telling the team she’s organised a peri-arrest simulation in the ambulance station after their shift and they are not happy😭

aw louise

lmaoo alicia’s mum going “just ask him out! you can’t be scared, darling!” and then ethan comes in with her results and she’s like “what do you think of my little girl, dr ethan hardy? she’s a cracker isn’t she!” and alicia’s like “just ignore her ethan”😭😭😭 then ethan has to tell her that her urine test results suggest gonorrhoea😭😭

alicia already thought her mum had had an affair so that just confirmed it for her and she gets angry :(

ethan finding alicia on the roof looking at the building work at the entrance and she smiles at him then asks “if you could go anywhere in the world where would it be?” and he goes “ooh… falmouth” sjkfkfjggk

and she’s like “of all the places??” “i don’t really like flying” “alaska” “yes, the aurora borealis. although you wouldn’t need to go that far. iceland? norway? scotland!”

“since we nearly… yknow like how close we came to… in the crash it’s made me think of all the places i haven’t been. hey we could go!” “alaska sounds a bit cold for me. my lips get chapped.” sjdkfkgk he’s so😭 “falmouth. one day. little road trip.” “yeah, i’d like that. on one condition though, you have to tell me why your dad calls you scoobie.” “no chance” “oh come on! quid pro quo, i told you about nibbles.” “well more fool you” I LOVEEE THEMMM🥺🥺🥺🥺 i feel like they probably never got to go on their little road trip to falmouth though :(

they both laugh and then stop to just stare at each other in silence for like a good 10 seconds at least and then ethan breaks it to tell her that her mum’s blood tests confirm gonorrhoea😭😭

robyn’s sad because glen only has 2 years :(

alicia going and having a go at her dad for letting her mum walk all over him and taking her back after cheating but he reveals that it was him who cheated

alicia asks her mum why she let him back when she knew and she says “do you wanna be alone?” and alicia goes “well it’s better than relying on a man to make you happy” so true!!

her mum says she lied for him because alicia worshipped him and she didn’t want her to be heartbroken as well. and she says maybe alicia’s better off the way she is, single, successful, and happy

jez and max are complaining about their cleaning rota and cal’s like “have you boys never heard of cleaners?” and jez says they’re barely making the rent right now and ethan’s asks why don’t they rent out their box room and max goes “who’d want to live in that?” but alicia was complaining about still living with her parents to ethan earlier so he knows just the person!

aww ethan meets alicia in the pub before the training thing but she’s doing tequila shots and already pretty drunk and she talks about how her mum’s basically given up on life because of a man but that won’t be her she’s just going to have fun. she says he should have fun as well because they both nearly died. he tells her he negotiated a good rent with jez and max and gives her the keys and she’s like “awwww that’s so nice” and then some random man comes up and she leaves with him😭

he just says jez and max but did robyn not live there too?? she must be spending a lot of time at glen’s, but she can’t have actually moved out or they could’ve rented out her room rather than the box room?

so basically if alicia’s dad wasn’t cheating on her mum, or just if alicia hadn’t found out at this point in time, it wouldn’t have taken nearly as long for her and ethan to get together😭😭

cal comes in while alicia’s going out and he’s like “she’s a player? trust me mate you’ve dodged a bullet with that one” so again, cal thinks that either alicia likes ethan back or she’s a player, but doesn’t expect to be cheated on? tbf he does get distrustful of her, but that’s only after he’s found the cuff link

cal tries to cheer ethan up in his own special way “right come on, how about we get this training thing out the way and then we’ll go and get you a curry, okay? and the fast and the furious box set” “i hate the fast and the furious” “i know, come on” bless😭😭

why are iain and jez walking over to the ambulance station with the rest of them for the training thing, surely they should be there already?? wait actually nvm jez was talking to max wasn’t he, so i guess iain must have been over there with him

elle reveals the training thing is actually basketball🥺 dylan goes “there’s about a million things i’d rather do than this, and one of them would’ve been a peri-arrest simulation exercise” SKDKKSDKK

it’s doctors vs nurses but isn’t that a bit unfair?? dylan’s just standing there not playing and ethan’s still limping from his dislocated knee so that leaves basically just cal and elle (with a small contribution from ethan) vs ALL the nurses plus noel, max, and jez

also isn’t is a bit odd that noel and max were even there in the first place?? were they expecting to participate in the training?? iain and jez too tbh bc they’re not even part of the emergency department?? maybe elle just told them to come anyway

ultra ball, friend ball, moon ball -@the-spectacled-trainer

[@the-spectacled-trainer] SUNNY! Spring Break feels like it was just yesterday. Give your team lots of hugs for me! I've got a full roster, so I'll answer one question for each of my guys.

Ultra Ball - How easy is it to bathe and groom your pokémon? What is needed to do so?

I just have to pick Zuma her up and place her into the tub for her low-maintenance bath fare. Really likes the scent of Pecha berry fur shampoo, so I’m currently in the market for a cheaper alternative. Absolutely loves being brushed and pampered, so I give her cuddles when I towel dry her. With Alva, I spend extra time making sure that her wings are clean. It’s important that they’re wiped down by hand with a cloth; the nooks and crannies can be infuriating at times. Monty likes soaking in the bath. I’ve caught him sleeping on more than one occasion while I scrub him down. I also have a friend at school that does Monty’s antlers for free every season! She’s planning on becoming a groomer and she needed more work to add to her portfolio. I buy her lots of baked goodies for compensation. Jenkins gets his daily dose of glass cleaner and a towel. It’s like...cleaning an actual chandelier?

Friend Ball - Do you have any close friends? How did you meet them?

Yes! My roommate in the academy dorms is great. We met because we got assigned to the same room. Both of us are international students; she’s from Unova. We've become pros at cramming for Kalosian language tests. I've been trying to convince her to get a Rotumblr account for the longest time. And I know we met on here only three months ago, Sunny, but you're an amazing friend. Thanks for showing me around Mesagoza and Levincia during Spring Break! It was such a fun experience, especially that picnic we had. Paldean food is top tier. And Baguette is such a cutie 😭

Moon Ball - If you have pokémon that have evolved, how did it happen? If they haven’t yet evolved, do you or your pokémon ever plan on doing it?

All of my team has evolved at least once! Biggie hasn’t evolved into Rhyperior yet, but he’s interested in doing it eventually. While I'm in school, I'm pretty sure I will be incapable of washing and feeding an even bigger Biggie. I also recently learned that Ruffles has a Mega Evolution form during class. I haven’t brought it up yet to him, but I know it’s going to be a strenuous journey if he chooses to take it on. I've got to do some more research on that!

@/HenryCavill: Y/n and I want to come on here ourselves and say I will be taking a break from projects for the foreseeable future. This is to focus on us and our (developing) family. We thank you so much for all of your support, and we will continue to update you on our social medias ONLY. Anything released by the tabloids is false and we will not stand for rumours to fly around. Lots of love Henry and Y/n xx

-

@/trueferalis: Ok but Miss Y/n is super slay, the photo she posted of her going back to work as a paediatrician is so girlboss, SUPERMOM AND DOCTOR

>> @/HenryCavill: So proud to be her man and daddy of our baby 😋

-

@/kinkydhrine: I can’t believe it’s been two years since Charlie was born the same day as their wedding, did anyone else swoon at the video Henry posted of them all on holiday at Bora Bora. Baby Charlie and Y/n on a big inflatable flamingo is everything, his tiny squeals 🥹🥹 Then Henry in the background of the video whistling at Y/n 🫣🫣

7 Weeks Later

>> @/ririezdueh: You called it. They’ve just had another pregnancy announcement, HOPEFULLY NOT ANOTHER WEDDING ANNIVERSARY BABY 😭😭

TXT Headcanon: S/O Wears Glasses

Request: Helloo! How are you? Can I request a txt reaction to their s/o having a myopia from -5 and worse (i'm not sure if those are the correct terms sorry) and wearing prescription glasses Thanks in advance, you seem like a nice person and I hopefully I can interact more here ^^

A/N: Bestie I’m blind af (and nearsighted) so this one felt personal lmao but I did it headcanon style instead of reaction style—i hope that’s okay! Also, thank you for enjoying my writing! I hope you continue to interact here as much as you like ☺️

To my knowledge, all of the members have had some degree of vision impairment (with Soobin, even trouble with colors!), so my headcanons are based on that information. If I’m incorrect about this, I apologize!

Soobin

It’s a trade-off

Soobin can see at least better than you and you can see colors better than him

He likes the team aspect of it

He doesn’t really think about it much other than that!

To him, it’s just a fact of life

He’ll help you find your glasses the way you would help him look for his wallet

He’s all too happy to accompany you each time you go shopping for a new pair too

He takes finding the Perfect Pair for you very seriously

Even though he thinks you look cute in all of them

the rest of the members below the cut!

Yeonjun

Prepared™️

Like he keeps a stockpile of contacts and an extra pair of glasses around in case you forget yours or they break somehow

Thinks you look So Cute in glasses 🥺

He’ll see you ready to go somewhere in your glasses and be like “I want to look cute too”

He disappears into his room and comes back on with a pair of his own

Even if they’re just fashion glasses

Also makes sure to have lens cleaner on hand at all times

He knows it’s annoying to have dirty glasses so he’s got your back

If you’re in a pinch, he’ll use his shirt to clean your glasses for you :(

Beomgyu

Sigh this boy is annoying 😭

Jk he only is sometimes

But like he’ll sometimes see you struggling to read a sign without your glasses and be like “and that says…?” thinking he can train you to see better or something tf

Like “SIR i am trying to SEE not learning to read bye”

But he actually understands because he used to wear glasses too

He’ll sneak your glasses carefully into his pocket if he sees you’re about to leave without them

He’ll make you have the whole “ugh i forgot my glasses” moment for his own fun before he gives them to you though

But he remembered and that’s the point

Will also take your glasses and model them on himself

Give him all the compliments he loves it

Even if he can’t see

Taehyun

Similar to Soobin, Taehyun doesn’t think too much about the fact that you wear glasses

What he does think a lot about is how inconvenient glasses are

Like you have to make sure you don’t forget them if you take them off during the day and you have to clean them

He thinks contacts are much easier

He’ll probably try to convince you to wear contacts instead

But if you can’t or don’t want to, he’ll leave it alone

Remember, it’s not that serious to him

He just wants you to be the most comfortable and to have the easiest time throughout the day

Hueningkai

Kai is the sweetest

He goes out of his way to praise you about how cute you look in your glasses

He does this because he knows he doesn’t like to wear his out and he doesn’t ever want you to feel insecure in yours

He likes when the two of you get home and he can take out his contacts and put his glasses on too

He looks at you with the most satisfied smile

Like “now we’re twins” 🥺

He sees it almost as a bonding thing

He’s glad you two can relate on something that is a big part of your day to day lives

Speaking as someone who has recently slipped & fallen into a massive vat of big brother Connor feels and also plans to study childhood development. All I can think of now is that when the golden trio got hurt in their infancy/toddlerhood (scraped knee, fall, etc) he was probably who they wanted for comfort.

😭😭😭

Anon!! I am right there in that vat of feelings with you. I've talked about it on here a few times, but I became my brother's guardian when I was in my early twenties and he was about 14/15, and as a result stories where siblings step up when parents step out really resonate with me. The fact that the show is making that this understated touchstone with Connor and Kendall, Roman and Shiv is just striking such a chord in me as a result. I really love it a lot.

I love, love, love your headcanon that Connor was the one the baby golden trio wanted when they got hurt too, especially since you know they wouldn't have gotten much of anything from Logan or Caroline.

I've been thinking a lot too about Connor's social circle lately, and about how it's this odd sort of thing that he seems to actually be really gregarious between his fast friendship with Maxim Pierce and the way the Conheads have started gravitating towards him, and how it's kind of at odds with this sense of him having had to pay a woman to stay with him? It's really given me this headcanon that Connor's had this sort of awkward socialisation because he went from being the protected and isolated lone heir for Logan until he was 15 when Kendall was born, and then his life sort of shifted to being, at least for a while, about them (arguably still is - gosh, he's the first person to drop everything and come whenever any of them really need him - think him being Shiv's go-to back-up with Marcia in 1.02!)

It makes me feel like he lost this chapter of partying, of spring breaks and holidays at a gilfriend's place, because he always went home. Always needed to get back on weekends for Shiv's first steps or Roman's first words or to help Kendall get his show and tell ready for kindegarten. Had to be there for these tiny little people his brickwall of a dad made with this sharp-edged woman, and it sucked sometimes to go back to college during the week and see his friends with new inside jokes and the girl he was flirting with holding hands with someone else, but he didn't regret it, not when he got hugs from Kendall and special, stamp-decorated letters from Shiv and play-doh-pipe-cleaner-googly-eyed creatures from Roman.

Doesn't even regret it now, when the three of them talk shit about him and are at each other's throats, because he's used to weathering storms with them, and he figures he'll take it, because Kendall still hugs him, and Shiv still calls him, and last time Connor went to Roman's, he found the bright, feathered fishing lure from that trip all those years ago, sitting hidden in a box on his buffet.

Moonlight re-watch Part 16 of 16

Season 1 episode 16 Sonota

We’re at the endgame now 😭

Sarah is mentioned again

Mick and Beth date night

A little bit of Josef’s back story is revealed and he helped found Hearst College

Beth getting jealous over Freshies

“I guess this won’t be our Fourth date after all” No unfortunately

Beth needs more human friends who know about vampires. It’s a shame Simone and her weren’t able to become friends

You know what I just realized that after Josh died we never see detective Carl again

I wonder how Emma was able to navigate being a vampire after being abandoned by her sire

Guillermo being so gentle and delicate with Dominic’s dead body is a little cute and a funny. He ties a bow so delicately for that body tag thing

Josef has good moments and then he acts like a bit of a Dick. Like was that necessary to do that to Simone

“We were not making out. I only want to make out with you” he says this a little too defensively

“Yeah but you don’t want to drink my blood” Beth say’s annoyed

“You want me to drink your blood?” 🤨 Mick is so confused

“No” I think Beth does want Mick to drink her blood. At least just a little bit

Mick gets whacked with a “sacred ass paddle”

Poor Jackson had no idea his wife was cheating on him

You know what’s weird the vampires in twilight, at least the Cullen family stay in High School forever when college would be a much better place for them and their whole schedule wouldn’t be all that abnormal there.

Like Lisa (vampire cheerleader) says nobody pays attention when you sleep all day and are out all night.

Also Lisa is a bit of a freak (no judgement) “that’s not the artery I go for” you do you girl

Emma’s little freak out only sealed the deal that she was crazy and dangerous

It’s what 150 years of marriage thrown down the drain looks like as well

I think it’s interesting that Beth and Mick are somewhat parallel of Emma/Jackson.

Mick/Emma were turned against their will

While Jackson (and maybe Beth in the future?) had the choice to be turned into a vampire

But Beth is being framed with Emma during this scene and Mick with Jackson. I’m probably just over analyzing it but I think Mick/Beth were going to be like Emma/Jackson but with a happy ending

I’ll chalk it up to Emma being stressed and hungry but she really didn’t think things through with her threats like did she not think Mick will let the Cleaners know what she was planning?

How did Simone get Beth’s address

Beth/Simone conversation and Mick/Josef conversation parallel

“Mick’s an anti-vampire vampire”

I get where the cleaner is coming from but like killing two police officers and D.A agent will definitely get the attention of like everybody so like there wasn’t a lot of good options because a manhunt definitely would have happened if Mick just let Emma kill everyone. Taking her into custody was the best option not to raise any alarms

Prison Break but with vampires

I wonder how Logan would react to/feel about the sequel Star Wars trilogy

Blood withdrawal seems to be like extreme dehydration. I wonder what the longest time a vampire can go without drinking blood. Jackson said it’s been a few hours but I think humans can go 24 hrs without water

Jackson loved Emma so much

Another annoying thing, we never get to see the fallout of Emma/Jackson’s death and how that affects Josef. He was clearly distraught at their execution

And we never see what happens with the stupid list. I took pictures of the list best i could my dvd player is kind of old and doesn’t respond to the remote sometimes

Mick and Beth briefly ending things and being so devastated made me worried this was how the series was going to end but I’m glad they ended it with the two making up (and making out)

Mick remembering what Beth was wearing when they re-met is so 😭 like he’s so 😩

A morbid thought but what would Beth have done if Mick didn’t remember?

I’m still pissed off the show ending but at least they us Mick/Beth quickly getting back together

Like imagine how awful it would have been if they ended it with the two ending things and crying and that’s how the episode and series ends ??

I give this episode 10 out of 10 flame throwers.I love it so much

[vaultscoring]

PARALLEL BARS

okay so the judges used all their Sensible Judging Juice on men's vault and beam and i am going to be real annoying about the other three

so deal

first off my dear handsome prince charming who only needs some exfoliation lin chaopan was robbed

sam went first and nailed it other than one tentative handstand and got a 8.866 which i predicted almost exactly. i was even happy for him!

but then chaopan went right after and delivered all that chinese pbars goodness and got me pregnant with that super high front straddle

... all that for a 8.833 behind sam? is it some super technical thing i am not very good at identifying yet? he looked cleaner than sam in every way. i expected him to break 9 in E. judges eggsblain!!!!!!!

the judges were basically nice to everyone except lin chaopan today because most people were one tenth or two above what i was thinking

(except of course top tier heartbreaker lukas who romania UB-ed a catch and killed both himself and me in the process 😭 he better be saving his full potential for a home medal next year)

speaking of killing myself, DAVID. he already looked on the verge of tears before the routine, was more fragile than me remembering my former/current crush throughout and then dismounted with a sob. WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS DAVID DON'T YOU KNOW YOU ARE LOVED NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS. WE WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY

oleg and ZJY were there and perfect and murdered all the competition and were second and first with a billion tenths to spare. the end. i was a happy customer.

which brings us to artur. he went last and i wanted him to medal at that point both because Artur Things and because i didn't want sam to have a controversial medal because he deserves more than being questioned when he finally does medal (... more on that later)

he went and was fine but not like AA fine. a bit better than sam, probably not as good as lin chaopan to my eyes. i thought they wouldn't give him the 8.9 E he needed and... he did?

great! i love you artur marry me!!

should have been chaopan but at least it was a closer call than sam!!!!!

I HAVE WATCHED TODAY’S EFs AND I HAVE THOUGHTS

stay tuned on this post for them
