Happy Marriage to Pancake and Starlo!

May these two fine the happiness and laughter in the next chapter of their lives. Through thick and thin, sickness and health, they're gonna stick together. Especially after what they had gone through before this moment.

The whole town arrived. This is the sheriff getting married after all! So many people wasn't expecting him to get married, to Pancake no less! The rivalry was a big part of the town's history, being tied to North Star himself, and seeing them get closer and closer was fun and kinda crazy. The whole town knew, and Pancake is married to Starlo. Feisty Four are also happy that they're married. And a few bets had to be paid.

Now they're off to the next chapter in their lives. And they still stick to each other like velcro.

more stuff under cut, like a lovesick rambling by me.

I have no idea why this guy chose me. Like, at all. I look at him, and that's my husband. I feel so oddly connected to him, and I've said this before, but he is someone I genuinely wanna marry. Starlo is my beloved, my soulmate, I love him so much, its insane that he picked me. Legit, it felt like he picked me all those months ago. Back in January. Does anyone remember when I was so happy with OTCore and the "2024 is the year of the robots?" Yeah, guess what happened XD

Starlo helped me in so many ways, keeping me sane through so much. Originally it was gonna happen on the six month anniversary, but I ended up being too tired. Regardless, I'M SO HAPPY TO DO IT NOW!!

I look at him and I melt. I just, I love him. He loves me. I have never felt this connected to ANY fictional character like this. Spamton came close, really close. But oh well.

This was a DOOZY! Spent like, four straight days working on this. And I'm so happy I did. The colored comic is a reference to this video. It fits so well cuz its something Starlo would say and, well, PANCAKE'S NAME!! And Starlo hasn't dated anyone at ALL, there's no way he was expecting to marry someone.

Also the gif wasn't supposed to be a gif! I was trying to make a more dynamic pose for Pancake, but I already had the other sketch made, so it turned into a gif. Makes it better imo. Also I'm not too happy with Pancake's outfit. The cape is also a poncho of sorts. ah well. im also too lazy to draw the Feisty Four and Clover after all the stuff i've drawn all of this.

but yeah i hope y'all enjoy!!

Comic Transcripts: Starlo: "I, Starlo Sunnyside, do take Pancake to be my waffle-y- lawfully"

Starlo: "and pancake-y" Pancake: Pfft-

Pancake: [Silent laughter]

Starlo: "I've been scared of this m'entire life" Pancake: "BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHA-" SECOND COMIC: Ceroba: "Well, congratulations Star. How do you feel getting married?"

Starlo: "Lucky..."

Ring and Nica bond level story summaries (up to level 4)

꒰ ִ ֺ ⊹ @ notice ⊹ ֺ ִ ꒱ these are crude story summaries that are meant to give you an idea of what’s happening in the story. it’s not a pretty translation 😅 i don’t have darius here because i haven’t raised his bond level yet, but i may post about his bond stories later unless someone else posts translations? but if you enjoy, please consider reblogging, but please don’t repost these or claim these as your own!

nica 🍒

bond level 3: “eating a meal together”

nika is like “relax a little more and lets enjoy dinner. todays a social gathering for vogel”

then hes like “did yk robin? they say you can tell someones char from the way they eat. if they eat quickly, theyre hasty and dont like losing. and the opposite means theyre more laid back. ..well, which do you think i am?”

"im in the middle of watching": nikas like "oh is that so? then feel free to look on more. ah, i can keep my clothes on, right?"

"ur a superficial person": nikas like "yep, i get told that a lot. i happen to reaaally like women - including you, ofc?"

"u dont enjoy ur life that much": nikas like "......hmm? so ur the type to like guys who r pitiful and unhappy?"

nikas like when we finish eating lets tell each other our answers then.

"come to my room, robin. we can get to know each other more there.."

bond level 4: skills

nika is like "sorry to keep you waiting robin. oh? why do you look so surprised? ahh did you think a fox (harrison) was coming or smth"

"the card that got sent to u, that was written by me. thats right, its forged handwriting"

"its one of my skills. did you enjoy it, robin?"

"absolutely not": nikas like "and as ive been sayinggg, hearing u say that is like the highest praise to me"

"bye (im leaving)": nikas like ehh ur going back already? even tho this part is known for not having many carriages around.

glare at him silently: nika is like oh, i like that frustrated look on ur face. im into that (<- this sentence is prolly not completely accurate)

then he’s all like "aww, you’re so mean. dont u think im here just bc i miss u (w/o an ulterior motive) 🥺"

"pfft, hahaha! u get touched so easily like that.. ahh ur such a strange one 😆"

"lets go, robin, and take me around london. lets see.. a place where theres a lot of girls would be great :]"

"i'll give u my portion": ring is like "eh- ah. is.. it really ok? ..thank u then. i'll eat it all (i.e. with care)"

and then he says he didnt intend to get close to kate bc shes a fairytale keeper and hes part of vogel, but kate had been so kind to him so he became kinda like confused xD

bond level 4: skills

ring is naming flowers. and kate apparently caught him in 4k so he is all flustered like "omg.. dont tell me u.. saw all of that?"

"i didnt see anything": ring is like but theres a grin on ur face.. ur kind of bad at lying.

"..im sorry": ring is like "when you apologize so sincerely like that, i feel bad for being surprised.."

"well, i wonder abt that?": ring is like "d-dont grin like that >,> you have a teasing side to u too, huh.."

but anw he says that "yes i do like flowers :> when im free i try to remember the names of flowers and their meanings"

"why..? well that's.. to make frie- i mean, its nothing."

he asks kate to forget what she saw here and then is like "bye ttyl"

when hes like some distance away from her he whispers to himself that he shouldnt get close to the fairytale keeper.

Pfft hear me out yandere trio Luffy , Zoro and Nami reaction when female reader admits that Buggy kinda cute (HE IS !! Don’t judge me 💅) since it’s a running gag in the show/movies that this trio always pulls a face hearing his name XD😘

please !🙏 He’s a clown but he’s my clown 🥰🤣

I can't judge, I get it. Goofy men are cute and you're 100% correct

What the Heart Wants

Yandere Luffy, Zoro, and Nami x Fem!Reader (plus Buggy but he's only mentioned)

1.9k words

This was risky, you knew it was, but it happened on an impulse and it was too late to turn back now. Your pulse quickened as you snuck off into the girl’s room with your newest acquired treasure. You paused at the door and pressed your ear to it to listen for anyone else heading this way.

Nothing. You’re in the clear.

Scurrying over to your bed, you fish the rolled up piece of paper from your sleeve. You didn’t even think about it when you saw the bounty poster on the wall. It was like your hands had a mind of their own, ripping it down and stuffing the poster into your sleeve without your brain even fully registering the action.

Sure, this could backfire if someone finds you with it, but so long as you’re careful it should be fine.

Unrolling the paper, you can’t help but giggle and kick your feet at the sight of the man on the poster. It felt silly to be so giddy over just seeing a picture of the man, but you couldn’t help it. Buggy had this sort of goofy charm to him, and it had a chokehold on you. You’ve always found people like that endearing, it’s a majority of the reason you joined Luffy’s crew. 

This time though, the endearment went beyond being platonic. Instead of simply feeling a warm fondness towards Buggy, you found your heart beating erratically when you thought about him too much. The last time you’d seen him in person and made eye contact, you immediately felt blood rush to your face and had to avert your eyes.

In short, you were down bad.

You were so transfixed on the poster, that you didn’t hear anyone approaching the room until the door was thrown open. In a panic, you leap up from your bed and held the poster close to your chest in an attempt to shield it from prying eyes.

Nami was standing in the doorway, looking confused and slightly startled by your strange reaction to her entering your shared room. She wasn’t dumb, much to your chagrin, and quickly took note of how flustered you look. Then her eyes drifted down to the poorly concealed poster and you could practically see the lightbulb come on over her head.

Her lips curled into a grin, “What’cha got there, (y/n)?” The way she stalked towards you was downright predatory, making you feel like a mouse being cornered by a house cat.

“Nothing! Nothing at all, just a piece of paper!”

“Just a piece of paper? I don’t know about that, it looks like a bounty poster to me,” her smile looked downright malicious as she circled you, trying to get close enough to take it from you. “I wonder why you would be keeping a bounty poster to yourself like this?” Nami definitely already knew the answer, but she wanted you to say it.

“No reason! I just- Um- I don’t even know how this got here! It must have slipped into my pocket while we were out! Yeah!” You internally cringed at how bad that lie was. Even Luffy was a better liar than this.

Nami cackled at your attempt, “Oh really, that’s the story you’re going with? Come on, just be honest with me. We’re both girls here, you can tell me about your crush!”

You whip your head around to glare at her, “I don’t have a crush!” You absolutely did. 

With a speed you didn’t think she possessed, she leapt forward and snatched away the paper. You tried to get it back, but she held it out of reach and used her free hand to push you away, “Yes you do~! I can’t believe you would keep this from me, we’re friends! We’re supposed to talk about things like this.”

Nami danced out of your way, and you swear it felt like the world was in slow motion as she finally pulled the poster down to be able to look at it. Immediately, the mischievous glint in her eyes went cold and her smile dropped. The once coy and amused expression morphed into one of pure horror as she looked between you and the poster in rapid succession.

“No,” was all she said as she shook her head in disbelief, “you can’t be serious.”

“How about you give me that, and we can forget all about this. Please?” You wanted to crawl into a hole and never be seen again. This was the one thing you didn’t want to happen, and her reaction is precisely why.

You can assume she didn’t like your response based on her soured expression and the way her hands crumpled the paper in her tight grip. Without another word, she ran out of the room. 

With. The. Poster.

That was how you got to where you are now. Forced to sit at a table with three of your crewmates sitting with you. Nami, Luffy, and Zoro specifically.

“Guys please this is so dramatic!”

“It’s not! This is a serious matter, one we can’t let slide!” Nami slammed her fists onto the table that you were all seated at. Why were you all gathered here? For an intervention regarding your taste in men. 

It was bad enough that she knew, but why did she have to drag your other crew members into this? You can’t say you understand her choices either. Luffy was hardly the type to weigh in on someone’s love affairs, and Zoro wasn’t even awake. 

“Why are we all here? Are we gonna play a game or something?” Luffy was drumming his fingers on the table impatiently.

Nami slams the partially crumpled wanted poster on the table, “This is why we’re here!”

Your face was buried in your hands and you let out an over the top groan from the sheer embarrassment of the situation. 

“Buggy? What about him?” Luffy perks up, “Oh! Are we gonna go kick his ass again?!”

“No. Well, yes but not yet,” Nami explained. “(Y/N), would you care to explain what you were doing with this poster?”

“Nope, sure wouldn’t,” you didn’t bother taking your hands away from your face. 

“You and me both know why you have this, so how about you just tell the truth so we can fix this,” Nami sounded like a mother scolding her child.

Luffy was looking back and forth between you two, trying to put together what was going on. You could practically hear the gears turning in his head, “Are you planning to fight him? Oh, I know! You’re trying to be a bounty hunter!” He looked to Nami expectantly, hoping for confirmation that he was right.

She pinched the bridge of her nose and let out a sharp sigh, “No, Luffy, she isn’t trying to become a bounty hunter.”

Whatever, you’re just going to go ahead and rip the bandaid off, “I have a little crush on him, okay? There! Are you happy? Can I go now?”

“No! How can anyone be happy knowing that?!” Nami yelled. “Why him of all people?! He’s literally a clown!”

“... He makes me laugh.”

Luffy exploded into laughter, “What’s that got to do with it? I make you laugh all the time, more than he does I bet!”

You tried to get up and leave, but Nami’s hand latched onto your wrist like an iron shackle. With one yank, you fell back into the chair.

“Please just stop! Why are you even doing this? It doesn’t matter if I have a crush on him or anyone else for that matter, so can we please act like none of this ever happened?” You wanted to cry from the humiliation of being shamed by your friends over a little crush. 

Luffy shrugged and nodded along, “It is pretty funny, but I agree with (y/n). Why are you so mad about it, Nami?” Bless him. Even though he did laugh at you previously, at least he was attempting to deescalate the situation now.

“Because she is crushing on Buggy the Clown of all people!” 

“Why is that such an issue?! He’s cute!” You tried to defend yourself (and him).

“Eww! No he isn’t!” Nami full on shuddered at you calling him that, “What is wrong with you? At least fall for someone good looking!”

“Well maybe I care more about personality!”

“What are you talking about?! He’s an egotistical weirdo who has a temper tantrum if he so much as thinks someone said something about his nose!” Nami looked like she was ready to rip her hair out.

“He can be nice when he wants to be, and like I said before, I think he’s funny!”

“There’s a huge difference between someone actually being funny, and someone doing stupid stuff that happens to be funny,” she slapped a hand over her face and dragged it down exasperatedly.

She had a point, and you hated it. You huffed, “Yeah, well, I don’t care. He’s my type and that’s that.”

Nami gagged like the drama queen she was dedicated to being in this moment, “I almost want to set you up with someone else just to give you better taste, how is a clown your type?!” She ground her teeth in frustration, “Okay, new rule: you’re not allowed to leave the ship if Buggy is around.”

“Why is everyone yelling?” Zoro yawned and stretched, looking around the table with mild curiosity.

Nami slapped the back of his head, “I brought you here to help, not to sleep! (Y/N) is crushing on Buggy and we’re trying to stop her.”

“Oh,” Zoro didn’t look all that concerned. “So are we gonna kill him or something?”

“NO!” You shrieked at him. What is wrong with these people?!

“That would take care of the problem,” Nami hummed thoughtfully. “We can’t risk letting this become something more, what if she tried to leave to be with him?”

Luffy laughed at that, “It’s not like I’ll let that happen!”

“What do you mean you won’t let that happen?” That honestly threw you off a bit. What was that supposed to mean?

“It means that I won’t let him take you away from us!” Luffy flashed you his usual blinding smile, but there was something slightly… off about it. It felt a little too wide, and weirdly tense.

“Take me away? No one is trying to ‘take me away’. Besides, if I wanted to leave to be with someone, then I’m allowed to do that,” you were distinctly not a fan of how he was talking about you as if you were a piece of treasure being fought over.

The entire atmosphere of the room changed the second you finished speaking. All eyes were on you, “See! This is what I was talking about! If she gets a crush on someone, she’s going to want to leave!” Nami’s hand found its way to your wrist again, you were sure you’d have a bruise from how tight her grip was.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, let’s all calm down! I didn’t mean I was going to leave just like that! I like it here, really!” You tried to placate your crewmates, but your pleas did nothing to sooth them. It was too late to backpedal now.

“We’ll have to get rid of him next time we see him,” Luffy nodded resolutely.

Zoro shrugged, “Should be easy enough.”

You should have never taken that poster. Now you’ve unintentionally put out a hit on Buggy, and have no idea how to stop it.

"There Will Be Blood Shed"

" '...Don't do it?' " " 'I want to live...?' "

"I wanted to live too."

"...Once..."

-

Soooooo, as you can imagine, I finally listened to "The Only Thing I Know For Real" from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance and while apparently the character in question became something of a meme, for a first time listener, the song hit hard enough that before I knew it, I was sketching murder boy doing what he does best.

Like, not every line hits hard, but a significant number do.

"Memories broken" -Check

"The truth goes unspoken" -To Adeleine? Oooh yes

"I've even forgotten my naaaaaame" -Check and check

"I don't know the season or what is the reason I'm standing here holding my Blade" -I love the "don't know the season" part especially because on Shiver Star "summer" is what we would call "winter." Poor, mixed up kids

"A desolate place without any trace It's only the cold wind I feel" -That's Shiver Star in a nutshell

"It's me that I spite as I stand up and fight" -"Spite" in the sense that he's only hurting himself by doing this but also he regrets finding himself forced onto this path, yep...

"The only thing I know for real There will be blood shed" -See title

"The man in the mirror nods his head" -Reminds me of the Apologies title card I drew where Noir and Blade are reflected upon each other in the gleam of the sword.

"The only one left will ride upon the dragon's back" -....Okay, I have no witty comment here. Dragons are just a rock song thing! Oh! He did wear that dragon onesie when he was little??

"Because the mountains don't give back what they take." -Pfft! I'm sorry! I got curious and listened to "Wheelchair Sam" FIRST and thanks to that visual of him rolling down the mountain, I can't hear any of the "mountain" lines without laughing XD

"Losing my identity Wondering have I gone insane?" -Ahem! Back to serious and yeah. Though, Noir was usually too focused to stop and question what he was doing (...he couldn't dare...)

 "Looking downward from this deadly height Never realizing why I fight" -Ahh...this one hurts, thinking about all the nights he would sneak out of bed to hang out on the roofs and the number of times he peered over the edge (into the abyss...) Though Noir knows why he fights, he probably spent a lot of time wondering why he's alive

-

「やめろ？」 「まだ生きたい？」 オレも生きたかった… …かつて、な。

Sometimes I hear certain chunks of dialogue in Japanese in my head first and have to translate them into English to get down what I want them to say XD And I just really like the idea of Noir being "I might've sympathized, but I just don't have room for that anymore. I have too much to do before the end and you're standing in my way."

Don’t exhaust your heart on something that isn’t worth it.

I can still clearly remember the feeling I've felt since Giyu told me those words. And yes, especially on the part where he told me that he thinks that he'll never fall in love again. I'm sure I've also convinced myself that it's time to let him go.

And there, I told him how beautiful the sunset is.

But look at me now; it's been a year since then, and I still haven't found love. You also guessed it right: there are still remnants of love inside of me that sparkle whenever I see Giyu. He's still my best friend. Nothing's changed.

It's just that perhaps I never showed my vulnerability now as much as I did back then. It seems that he didn't mind. Tomioka is still the same man that I've met before.

Not until Sanemi came. We became close to the point that sometimes I'd spend my weekends with him. We're just friends; I know that, but it is also clear to me that Sanemi likes me. He isn't shy about showing it.

However, it's just that I think I've already exhausted my heart on Giyu and can't feel any romance at all with the guy. He's charming; don't get me wrong. He would do the impossible if I told him to. It's not that I'm using Sanemi or something; it's more like I just enjoy the company that he gives me since I'm still healing from everything.

I was busy contemplating when suddenly I noticed the sideways glance that Giyu was giving me. He seems bored, or... annoyed?

"What's with the glare, Giyu?"

"As far as I know, you're with me, but I think it's somewhere far... or, more like, someone far."

Is he referring to Sanemi? Because if he is, he's wrong.

"Huh?"

"Nothing. You know, if you're bored or what, you can go home. I think I can buy my groceries alone."

"Why are you being grumpy all of a sudden? I'm not doing anything."

"Whatever."

I watched as Giyu walked faster, holding his cart. I felt cold in the pit of my stomach, as Giyu was never this grumpy with me before. He got all the patience and sweetness, and now he gets annoyed easily.

With a heavy heart, I jogged towards him, wrapping my arm around his arm. He seems to not mind at all, but he's still ignoring me. I can't bear with it, so then I grabbed a chocolate from the shelf and showed it to him. "Giyuuuu, I want this," I said in a baby voice. I know my best friend can't resist it.

"Fine," he said, rolling his eyes. I tossed the chocolate on his cart and wrapped my arm around his again. "Why are you so mad? I'm not used to you like that."

"I don't know. Maybe because it seems like I bore you?"

"Who said that?"

"I don't know. Perhaps you can ask Sanemi since you always go out together."

And there, the name popped out of his lips.

"Are you jealous of Sanemi?"

Giyu stopped walking and swatted my arm. "Pfft... Me? Jealous? What are you, my girlfriend? You can go out with him for all I care."

I was so hurt by how he reacted that I ended up standing there, watching as he went on his walk. He noticed it, so then he looked back at me and raised an eyebrow. "Hey?" Giyu asked, wondering why I was just standing there.

I gulped and just turned my back at him, leaving him, despite how he called my name.

"'Pfft, what are you, my girlfriend?' Then don't react that way. Fucker."

Fuming, I threw my bag on the couch and plopped down beside it. I hated the fact that he didn't care. Why doesn't he care? And if he really doesn't, why is he acting like that?

I was so mad and confused that tears started to stream down my cheeks. Never in my life did I expect to get angry at Giyu like this. But then it happened. Just as the decision to try to let go of him happened.

Cutting through my thoughts, I heard my phone ring. My heart skipped a bit. Perhaps Giyu wants to apologise?

So then, I eagerly took out my phone, only to see that it was Sanemi instead, calling me.

"Hello? Sanemi?"

"Hey, how are you—are you crying? Are you alright, Y/N?"

"Oh, sorry, I was watching a drama," I lied. "Uh, how are you?"

"Oh, did I disturb you?"

"Not at all."

"Okay, so I was just wondering if you would like to go out tonight. My treat."

"Sanemi, you're sweet, but I guess I'll turn down the offer for today. I'm quite tired."

"Oh, okay, no prob. But if ever, you can chat with me or anything. Okay?"

"Thanks. I appreciate it."

Beep.

I could hear the dismay in Sanemi's voice, but then, what can I do? I feel bad, but I can't even comfort myself right now. I know I'll just make it worse for him.

Everything just hurts, especially whenever I try to look back.

Giyu Tomioka.

We're more than friends, but less than lovers. And now, what are we? Where is he? Why does it feel like he never cared at all?

Did he even care? Because if he does, he should've checked on me right now. But then, here I am... longing for his attention, even if there is someone who would gladly gave me everything.

I don't know. Perhaps it's still Giyu after all. And it'll always be until I'm nothing but a dimming star into the night, with light fading away as I wait for him.

---

It started as a normal Tuesday. Y/n was working on a client's website, surrounded by empty soda cans, a half-eaten granola bar, a cup of coffee that had been refilled countless times, and the dim hope that this web application project wouldn't kill her. She was almost done when she hit a wall—an infuriating wall in the form of a bug so elusive it might as well have been a mythological creature.

"What in the name of Jeff Bezos is wrong with you?!" she yelled at her laptop, slamming her hands on the desk.

"BOOM, BABY!"

She jumped, nearly knocking over her coffee as Sebastian burst into the room like Kramer from Seinfeld. He was wearing an Avengers bathrobe, a Viking helmet, and inexplicably wielding a hockey stick.

"Seb," she said, already exhausted by his mere presence. "What are you doing?"

"Helping," he said, dramatically tossing the hockey stick aside. It hit a lamp, causing it to crash to the floor.

"You're not helping. You're breaking my furniture."

"Pfft. Material possessions are temporary. But debugging is eternal."

"No," she said firmly. "Not this time. You're not touching my laptop. The last time you helped, the TV turned on by itself, showed me a cooking tutorial in Portuguese, and called me by name."

Sebastian gasped, clutching his chest like she'd insulted his honor. "You loved that tutorial. You said the flan recipe looked great."

"That's not the POINT!"

"Come on," he said, sitting next to her and grinning like a kid who just found a pack of fireworks. "I'm serious. Let me help."

She gave him a withering look. "Do you even know what CSS stands for?"

"D'uh. It's..." He paused, clearly making something up on the spot. "Cool, uh... Code... Stuff."

Y/N smirked. "What about HTML? Know what it is?"

"Of course I do," he said confidently. "It's... um... Hot Tacos Make Life better?"

She stared at him, deadpan. "Seb, I bet you don't even know what Javascript is."

"No, but I know about.. scripts?" He answered innocently and she rolled her eyes.

"Seb, just leave me alone and do whatever it was you were going to do with this.. outfit." She said, gesturing towards his Viking helmet.

But Sebastian ignored her, dragging his chair closer to her. "No way. I can help. I've acted as a hacker in movies. I know all about... coding stuff."

"Seb, no you haven't, and do NOT touch my laptop." She warned.

"Relax, babe. Let me at least look at it."

She reluctantly slid the laptop toward him. "Fine. But if you break something, you're sleeping on the couch."

Sebastian cracked his knuckles, grinning. "Alright, let's see what we've got here."

He squinted at the code for a solid thirty seconds like it was written in ancient Greek. "So, what's the problem?"

She sighed. "The JSON data isn't parsing correctly."

"JASON? Who's Jason?"

She groaned. "JSON. JavaScript Object Notation. It's a way to structure data."

Sebastian's face lit up. "Got it. So, it's like... Legos?"

"Sure, whatever helps you sleep at night." she rolled her eyes.

Sebastian cracked his knuckles and typed furiously.

—

<script>

let data = {

name: "Sebastian",

talent: "Acting",

debuggingSkill: "undefined"

};

console.log("Fixing everything like a boss"); // Motivational

data += "magic sauce"; // This'll work, right?

alert("IT WORKS... probably.");

</script>

—

He hit "Save" and refreshed the page. The screen went completely white, then flashed red like it was possessed.

"What did you do?!" she screamed.

"Magic sauce!" Sebastian said, pointing at the code.

"Magic sauce?! That's not a thing!"

"Not with that attitude," he muttered.

"Just give it back." She said, trying to grab the laptop back but he held it tight.

"No, no, babe. Let me try something else." He insisted, holding the laptop hostage.

She sighed, "Fine, just one more thing and if it doesn't work, give it back to me."

"Okay, okay, hold on. This will work. I can feel it!" He said enthusiastically, his fingers typing furiously.

—

<script>

let data =[ {

name: "Y/n",

character: "beautiful",

debuggingSkill: "powerful"

},

name: "Sebastian",

character: "chaotic",

debuggingSkill: "questionable"

},];

let love = data["Y/n"] + data["Sebastian"];

console.log("Y/n, you're the light of my life, and this code is dedicated to you.");

alert("Success, just like us.");

</script>

—

"Seb, that's not how you call JSON data." She protested but she couldn't keep a smile from escaping from her lips.

"Sometimes you have to go outside the box. Besides, love fixes everything." He said, winking at her and she rolled her eyes. He then pressed enter with a dramatic flourish.

The website blinked. The error message was gone, the navigation bar worked, the grid was perfect, the contact form sparkled like it had been kissed by the gods.

Sebastian turned to her with a smirk. "Told you. Love fixes everything."

Y/n's jaw dropped. "Wait... did you just—"

Before she could finish, the screen exploded into chaos. Every element on the page multiplied, filling the screen with hundreds of buttons labeled "Love you, Y/n" and an animated gif of a dancing cat in a tuxedo.

Sebastian leaned back, hands behind his head. "Well, it's the thought that counts."

She buried her face in her hands. "This is a nightmare."

"Okay, okay," he said, "Time to bring in the big guns."

Before she could grab the laptop back, Sebastian's hand flew over it again.

—

function callTheAvengers() {

alert("Avengers, assemble. We have a coding emergency.");

}

callTheAvengers();

—

"Seb, that's not gonna work." She protested.

"Wait for it." Sebastian said, raising his index finger to silence her and he hit the refresh button dramatically.

"Just give me the laptop back before I hit you with the hockey stick." She threatened.

"Babe, please. Trust me. Wait for it." He insisted and sure enough, suddenly she could hear the sound of a jet overhead. She glanced out the window and nearly fell out of her chair. The actual Quinjet was descending in the middle of their suburban street.

The neighbors were peeking out their windows in confusion, one even snapping pictures. "Sebastian, what did you do?!"

He smirked, "You saw the code, I called the Avengers."

Before she could protest, there was a knock at the door. Sebastian jumped up and opened it with a flourish.

Standing there were Steve Rogers, Tony Stark, Thor, Natasha Romanoff and Bruce Banner.

"We heard there was a coding emergency," Steve Rogers said seriously, stepping inside.

Y/n slapped her forehead. "Oh my God, I can't believe this is happening."

"What's the situation?" Tony asked, sunglasses on with a latte in hand.

Y/n sighed. "It's just a stupid JSON error."

"Ugh, JSON," Tony said, grimacing. "The silent killer of sanity. Move over."

Natasha Romanoff rolled her eyes. "Why am I even here? I don't code."

"Neither do I!" Thor announced, holding aloft his Mjolnir. "But I shall bring thunderous ideas!"

"Don't touch anything!" Y/n cried.

Bruce Banner set up his laptop. "Let's divide and conquer."

Sebastian handed everyone a keyboard which came out of nowhere and connected to nothing.. "Alright, team, let's do this."

Tony was the first to dive in.

"Alright, Y/n, let me show you how it's done." He typed on her laptop furiously:

—

<script>

function fixJSON() {

let billionDollars = true;

if (billionDollars) {

console.log("Hire someone else to fix it.");

} else {

console.log("Do it yourself, cheapskate.");

}

}

fixJSON();

</script>

—

"Tony," Y/n said, glaring, "that doesn't even make sense."

"It makes sense if you're a billionaire," he quipped. He hit refresh and the website turned all red and an iron man logo blinked in the middle.

Y/n slapped her forehead. "This is a nightmare."

"Here, let me try." Bruce Banner said. His approach was more... scientific.

"I think we need to test various inputs."

—

<script>

let gammaInput = [1, 2, "Hulk"];

let result = gammaInput.map(x => x + " smash");

console.log(result);

</script>

—

He hit refresh and the code ran. The screen displayed: '["1 smash", "2 smash", "Hulk smash"]'.

"Great, Bruce," Y/n said dryly. "Now my website is smashing things."

"You're welcome," he replied, adjusting his glasses.

Natasha sighed and leaned over. "Let me show you how to be efficient."

—

<script>

let secretSpyHack = () => {

console.log("Bug? What bug?");

};

secretSpyHack();

</script>

—

"That didn't do anything," Y/n pointed out.

Natasha shrugged. "Neither did I."

"Alright, alright, my turn." Steve said and he started typing with the enthusiasm of a soldier going in for battle.

—

function captainAmericaFix() {

let website = "running on freedom and justice";

let bugs = "punched out by the good ol' stars and stripes";

console.log("This code stands for something bigger.");

}

captainAmericaFix();

—

The website loaded. Patriotic music blared as an eagle soared across the screen, dragging the American flag behind it.

Y/n put her head on the desk. "I'm going to scream."

Thor stepped forward. "Stand aside, mortals! BEHOLD! I SHALL WRITE CODE AS MIGHTY AS MJOLNIR!"

He slammed Mjolnir onto the desk, causing the laptop to spark.

"Thor, no!" Y/n cried but Thor was already typing furiously.

—

<script>

let hammer = "Mjolnir";

function summonThunder() {

return hammer + " strikes!";

}

console.log(summonThunder());

</script>

—

He hit refresh and the website now displayed nothing but lightning bolts and the phrase "FOR ASGARD!" in Comic Sans.

Sebastian was laughing hysterically, tears streaming down his face. "This is the best debugging session ever!"

All of a sudden Peter Parker swung in through the window. "Hey, I heard there's a coding emergency?"

Tony groaned. "Of course the kid's here."

"Don't worry, I've got this!" Peter said, taking her laptop.

—

<script>

let webFix = bug => 'Spidey fixed ${bug}!';

console.log(webFix("JSON error"));

</script>

—

The website turned into a Spider-Man fan page.

Y/n buried her face in her hands. "I'm doomed."

"Enough!" Sebastian shouted, standing on a chair. "It's time for my genius to shine."

"Seb, NO!" she screamed.

"Seb, YES!" he yelled, typing with reckless abandon.

She glared at him as he continued to type nonsense but he suddenly stopped.

"Wait, I think you just missed a comma here." Sebastian said, deleting everything he typed before and adding the comma into her code.

He hit "Enter." The page refreshed. Miraculously, everything worked perfectly.

The room went silent. Even Tony looked impressed.

"How, how did you know?" She asked, her jaw dropped.

"Sometimes JSON is finicky like that." Sebastian shrugged.

Tony looked over his shoulder. "I was just about to say that."

As the Avengers packed up and left (after Tony insisted on taking credit for everything), Sebastian sat beside Y/n, who was still staring at her now-functioning website.

Sebastian leaned back on the chair, looking smug. "Told you I'd fix it."

"That was just beginner's luck." she shrugged.

"Oh come on, babe. What I did was genius." He insisted.

"I wouldn't say genius, but I think you know enough JSON now to be able to debug code."

"Yeah.. who's Jason again?" He asked, eyebrows furrowed and she threw a pillow at him.

"You're lucky I love you." She commented and he smiled as he pulled her by her waist and leaned in to kiss her.

For the rest of the day Sebastian strutted around the apartment, still wearing the Avengers bathrobe, Viking helmet and adding sunglasses while carrying a hockey stick and singing "We Are The Champions".

Y/n just stared at him and rolled her eyes, accepting her fate that she was dating a chaotic but somehow genius boyfriend and she wouldn't trade him for anything.

Pretend I'm using my disventure camp sideblog. What is your opinion on the zombie episode from season 1? (I want to talk to someone about it SO bad)

First off, I have a reaction post of this episode you can see:

Suffice to say, I was basically just going "WTF" the entire time XD

Despite me not really being a fan of zombie apocalypse stories, I said this in that post:

I mean if you know me, you know I like death game stories...

But surprisingly, I don't actually like zombie apocalypse stories. It's not just my cup of tea.

Because zombie apocalypse stories are just so bloody hopeless and there's absolutely no way out of inevitable fate. It's just "This is hell, wait till it's your turn to die."

And I just naturally find that less compelling than stuff like Hunger Games, Squid Game, and Danganronpa, where there IS a possibility to escape your fate, even if it's really small.

With these kinds of stories, I'm just waiting for everyone to die. So I get less attached.

That's just my opinion.

I think it's a REALLY fun and unique challenge idea, especially using VR for this. If Chris McLean had access to VR, he would TOTALLY do this to the campers and not tell them they're in VR just to screw with their heads.

But I also think this challenge is VERY rushed in pacing. With the time cards and everything. And this isn't Total Drama with big studio rules, so they could've absolutely made the episode, like, maybe five minutes longer to fix the issue.

It probably further established my reaction.

But for what we did see, it was really cool of a challenge idea. Which is something I prefer this show does instead of sticking to the Total Drama status quo. Like, even if this show doesn't handle every plotline well, I can at least respect them trying something new, even if the execution is lacking.

The highlights for me in the episode were actually the moment outside the challenge, such as Fiore sharing her story and advice to Grett and Alec, Grett getting development and finding her place with her villain found family, even if they betrayed her. Queen got a glorious elimination speech. (If you see my tier list post on DC1 characters, you'll know I love Grett. I said she was my... third favorite in that, I think? Next to Gabby and Jake)

Miriam getting development was also really nice. She apologized to Ellie for her cold nature earlier. (I mean, AT THE TIME, Ellie hadn't done anything to deserve that) And her declaring Jake as the grandson she never had was... EVERYTHING to me. OMG...

Oh yeah we also got Tom's face reveal and his... horrifically sounding backstory about getting kidnapped and tortured. It really brought his character full circle to making me understand him and really like him as a character, and making him giving Jake the cold shoulder previously that much more understandable.

Oh yeah there was also a kiss between them... or something... pfft, I don't care, I don't ship them what are you talking about I don't care about love in these shows, I wasn't broken or anything hahahahaha...

So yeah, I hope this show gets another VR Challenge in the future. Doesn't look like Season 2 is gonna get one unfortunately. (On Episode 11 at the time of this answer) You can do a lot of things in VR that you can't in real life (in show real life, obviously).

[marihem]

Let me be the one to ask. How did you come up with this Queerplatonic Frans concept? What drew you into making this?

Aww thank you for asking such a delicious question, pal! Hope you're ready to listen to my 1 am rambles XD

Alright so, to be completely honest...I actually don't truly know how Romance works to execute it myself 😬

Haha yup, sadly, the concept of Romance and Romantic Attraction didn't naturally come to me my whole life and I had a hard time understanding them. (Skill issue, amiright?) So I learned about them through fiction. And even then, my understanding of Romance was a little bit different from what it's usually is (spoiler: it wasn't actually Romance, the word I needed was "Queerplatonic").

I've drawn ship arts before I started drawing Frans and let me tell you, almost all of them were 2 characters just standing next to each other, no hugs, no kisses. Maybe they'll look at each other with fondness. And I was like "hell yeah, I've achieved Romance 😌" pfft.

My 2020 Frans works were where my ship art skills got improved. But you can still see that they aren't explicitly romantic (like, the first time I drew a Frans forehead kiss was for a request). Whatever, I was drawing stuffs about my fav lil guys and I was happy... and yet a tiny part of me wasn't feeling it, like it felt...odd to call them romantic. All these shippy art and I still felt uncomfortable to draw something extremely Romantic. (...this kinda sounds similar to a comphet kind of situation, you get what I'm saying?)

2 years later, I learned about the term "queerplatonic" and just like that, everything made sense =o Now THAT'S the kind of relationship I've been thinking about all these years and it felt magical. Suddenly, with this new knowledge, drawing shippy art felt more comfortable for me, cozy even. Cuz now, the "romance" I'm making is like something a little special for me.

And then I thought "what if I...👀" I grabbed Frisk and Sans like figurines and used them to make my own little ideas of a queerplatonic relationship as they were the perfect materials to work with for me.

I've actually been busying myself with thinking up ideas for them a year before I revealed it to my mutuals, even long before I revealed it publicly 😅

Still, my Roommate Banter AU Frans is still classic romantic. I've only been making funny lil contents of them but I swear! They're secretly crushing on each other, there's romance underneath! I just suck at Romance 😭

So yeah, TL:DR, I don't completely understand romance so I did what I felt comfortable and did actually get the most, approach a ship with a queerplatonic lens.

Tho I'm still learning about Romance cuz there're other ships I'd love to draw shippy art for XD

Anyways, yeah thank you to anyone who read all of this and thank you dear anon for indulging me with your ask <3 Have a lovely day/night ^^

[luimagines]

After seeing another anon say what they would do if they were the human in the Chain, I want to add what I would do.

I would be so passive aggressive about befriending them. Like, 'oh, Four, you like blacksmithing, but you hate humans? Watch me learn everything about blacksmithing within a week, and now if you want to learn human techniques for it, you have to get over yourself and talk to me. Or are you going to let this opportunity pass?' Purely because I possess the spite and the ability to learn everything about a topic just for this. I'd just sit there, letting them see all the opportunities they're missing out on. I'd probably be too socially anxious to say anything out loud, so I'd just lurk in a corner until I am finally approached.

I'm boutta make it genuinely impossible to hate on me by being a slightly aggressive ray of sunshine. Twilight has no problems with humans, but even if he did, he'd still be the easiest for me to switch to the 'humans good' side purely because of the amount of interests I naturally share, like horse-riding and wrestling. I'd probably wrestle most of the Chain actually, and I might have some chance of winning as a martial artist and if humans are stronger.

I think I would keep my martial arts a secret though, just so one day I can go 'if I win in a wrestling match, you have to stop being speciesist' and actually win, because I feel like I could pull a bet like that off.

pfft- XD

Being socially anxious and petty is one interesting combo. On the outside, I don't think it would help the rumors much because anxiety kinda makes people look sketchy by default, which is unfortunate. So I think the chain would be more incline to keep their distance while you'd fume in the background.

An aggressive ray of sunshine would be a perfect counterpoint though. It would be kinda hard for them to think much about a potential wall being pull over their eyes if you'd get along with Twilight so well.

They would probably used the excuse that Twilight is used to human anyway- but it wouldn't take long for someone to think that only gives you more credit.

Twilight works/lives/interacts with humans daily. He'd know what to look for if you were being actually sketchy.

And since you get along well enough to wrestle and joke around, you can't be all that bad.

[thelongestway]

And this is it. :) The Nameless Fanfic (placeholder name stands, for now; I name things either first or last) is done.

That said, I'll probably be keeping The Nameless Fanfic as a series name, because I think I have a Situation for part 2.

Before then, though, I probably want to let this fic lie for a week or two, print it and do a proper line edit to put it on AO3. And also write a thanks-and-some-meta post. And do some proper formatting here. So... I don't know if part 2 is going to be soon (tm), but it might happen.

Meanwhile, I think this story is actually, properly finished. That was a ride, at least for me - I hope you, the readers, also enjoyed.

Without further ado...

Chapter 15: Play

After the checks and permits were resolved, Iceblink met me on top of the Tenacious' walkway, alone. She had gotten herself a pair of feed glasses and rigged a small keyboard bracer to her right arm, which she was typing on animatedly. A moment later, she motioned for me to follow her, then tapped my feed on a text-only channel as we walked.

Hi, SecUnit! Dandelion told me you liked talking in the feed more, so I hope you don't mind if I test my new deck?

Go ahead, I poked at Dandelion herself, but she only returned a curt poke back, and then went quiet again. It was kind of disturbing being inside her hull when she wasn't really there. Is your spaceship sulking?

XD XD XD ^____^ ahahahahaahaha

What the actual fuck was all of that?

Iceblink grinned at me.

Nah, she's not sulking. Never been the type. But she has been making herself scarce for a little bit, at least until the SSC gets back to Captain Reed about her case. BY THE WAY SEC UNIT.

It's SecUnit.

By the way, SecUnit! Dandelion ALSO told me you're some kind of media afficionado. She gave me A LIST.

No. Fuck you. You didn't let me download YOUR media.

:3 we didn't know you then!!! trade you? everything you got for everything we got?

…Fine.

Initiating transfer!

Iceblink started the file exchange, and then stopped walking for a moment, hand hanging over her keyboard. She looked at me. Then at a nearby speaker.

"That is still an incredibly bad idea." Dandelion said out loud.

"I know!" Iceblink groaned. "But it's just so… Frustrating. Are you sure that's not how they do things here?"

"Yes."

"Ugh." She began typing again. It is grinding my gears just to say this out loud, but, uh, SecUnit, do friendly people in feed security never really, you know, do blind penetration testing on each other as a kind of hello? No warning, you just start once someone decides you're good enough friends?

No. Because that would be incredibly stupid. And right now also an asshole move that would make you lose movie night privileges forever.

Pfft, even Dandelion only lost hers until we're getting back to Trellin. It's not healthy to deprive people of socialization.

The answer is still no. Don't fucking do it. How the fuck did that even get started???

We had a friend in the early node ship days, Tal Smithson. Dandelion suddenly inserted herself into our text channel. Ke liked training the new generation of IT specialists that way. Ke would have been very glad to see the tradition going, Iceblink, but… Not right now.

Iceblink sighed.

Yeah, Dandelion. I know. SecUnit, consider this a formal invitation to play if you want to. I won't start.

I said, Ok. I'll think about it, because Iceblink was definitely the sort of human who would keep pinging me until she at least got an acknowledgement. But then we got to the Friend's cabin, and Iceblink left me alone with a little wave.

The Friend was sitting at its desk, drawing up some schemas by hand. It looked up when I entered.

"SecUnit." It said. And it sounded weird. And it stared at me.

I stared past it. "Yes. I've got a package for you. From your clients."

It stood up and continued staring.

"SecUnit." It repeated. "Fuck. That wasn't a codename."

I held out the package. It took the box and put it down on the table, on top of the schemas. It had been conducting a post mortem threat assessment of the entire hostage situation.

We stared some more. Then I turned and walked out.

On my way out, I pinged Dandelion, and this time she opened a proper channel.

That was very weird. Are you sure it doesn't need a cubicle or something?

Yes. That was very strange. I don't know why it reacted to you like that. It had been a lot more animated when it told me that a former Friend should have known better, among many other things, and it seems back to normal now that you're gone.

What did you tell it?

She chuckled, sounding sad.

That a long time ago, a dear friend tried to cheer me up by telling me that I could still be a Friend. I took the vows, after all, I did the work. And I told them I couldn't. Not anymore. And that at a crucial juncture it turned out I'd been right.

Dandelion opened her hatch for me, and I walked out down the ramp, into the embarkation area.

Thank you for getting it out alive, SecUnit.

It didn't look like the Trellians would be hauling too much cargo any time soon, so I scanned the area and found an empty spot by the wall with a good view of the stars. I sat down there, and opened a shared feed workspace, then sent Dandelion an invitation. She accepted with a Query? that felt like a raised eyebrow.

I started the first episode of The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon.

@agent-a-cpfancomic "pick a god" edition!

Where you really shouldn't have made that promise Shawn XD

Anna: finally trying to fix your console huh?

Shawn: yep. The USB option didn't work so I'm going with the regular old initialize.

Shawn: if this works, I'll entertain the idea that God exists.

Anna: pfft

Anna: ....

Anna: pick a God

Shawn: no.

Anna: Heathen

Anna probably loves watching people fumble their way into a solution to a problem and Shawn offers plenty of opportunities to witness that at least once a day at best XD

Suddenly Riki!

Riki: Anna...?

Anna: what's wrong Riki?

Riki: is someone following us?

Anna: ...No.

Anna: why? What did you see?

Riki: scary people. Monster.

Anna: ohh. I know what's going on...

Anna: you wanna go home?

Riki: yes

Anna: ok then, try and focus on me on the way back. Want to talk about orcas?

Riki: yes please.

Riki rarely ever grabs onto someone unless he's scared, poor kid was scared. Anna thankfully probably knows what to do.

And the finale!

Anna is giving Dan a crash course so that he knows how to help Riki *cries*

[nutal]

time to witness part 2 of my school long paragraph essay about my imaginary scenarios that may age as bad as milk bc my blood flows with red bull and xanax (guitarspear and Adam), so here we GOO-

*ahem*

Pretty much, I have no idea how Adam and Lute's relationship started out, but judging by the fact that Adam keeps pushing others away, I'm pretty sure they were rivals before they turned into lovers (enemies to lovers thing, inspiration for this headcanon : "Thanks for the Venom" by @deadgirlwalking91 , it may not be necessary to also show the inspiration but imma show it anyway cause yes uvu)

Basically, I think that before they became lovers and stuff, Lute was like: "U STOOPID NI-" and Adam was just like: "lol get L + ratio'd loser", u get the idea XD

Tho, as time went on, when the two started to get to know each other more personally, Lute realizes she actually really likes Adam, and she's pretty much like: "WOT, I GOT FEELINGS FOR THAT DUMBASS?? THERS NO WAY UnU" cause she isn't used to relationships like Adam + she thinks she hates him with all her heart so she kinda tries to deny it (burning passion lol)

Adam also realizes that he really likes Lute (he's still a love-wanting little dummy), and he also tries to deny it, at first, but then he starts to realize that he actually fell HARD for Lute (bc he a lovey lovey dummy, tho I can't blame him for being like this, he was basically made to reproduce when u think about it, so it explains why he's so lustful). When he realizes this, he kinda starts to panic since denying wasn't really effective anymore, he kinda just has a panic attack, bc he basically vowed to himself to NEVER fall in love again (Lilith and Eve trauma) + he's just like: "DUDE, I HAVE SO MANY FUCKIN HOT MEGA BABES, AND I FELL FOR LUTE OUT OF ALL PEOPLE??? RRAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH" + deep inside, he thinks he's worthless, so he basically thinks she's just gonna reject him

Because he realizes that he has hard feeling for Lute, but also thinks that she is automatically gonna reject him, he starts to push her away even more, being more obnoxious and annoying, even being straight up mean to her, like, straight UP mean.

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT, it somehow didn't work, and Lute just grew more closer to him (if yk one thing about Lute, Lute is a crazy bitch, so she'll just take this all the fricking way), then at one point, he just emotionally breaks down cause his feelings for her were getting too strong (for he also grew closer to Lute somehow), he goes home, takes off his mask and just destroys everything in his room, then ending up just.. crying

Now, here's what I think on how the two confessed to each other:

One day, Lute and Adam would be having an argument, going back and forth and things (context: Lute wanted to have a serious talk with Adam, but then she sees his real face for the first time while he was having another panic attack... and Adam is mortified by it..), it goes like this:

Lute: "I know what's going on, Adam. Don't try to hide it."

Adam: "Pfft, please! YOU don't know S H I T . "

Lute: "You're literally just proving my point, you didn't even ask what it was even about."

Adam: "I- OH GO FUCK OFF MY DICK, YOU FUCKING C*NT! YOU'RE SERIOUSLY ANNOYING ME, YOU KNOW THAT?"

Lute: "WHY DO YOU KEEP PRETENDING THAT THERE'S NOTHING GOING ON WITH YOU?"

Adam: "BECAUSE I LOVE YOU, YOU CRAZY BITCH!!" (reference: Yuno and Yuki - because I love you, you crazy bitch! meme)

Lute, remains stunned for a moment... did he just.. confess..?

Adam becomes petrified, immediately realizing that he confessed, he wanted to just.. run away from her as far away as possible. But, instead, he just remained still, he couldn't even do anything at that moment, he was on the verge of tears. Then, Adam saw her face go completely golden with blush, he gets confused... why was she blushing?... wasn't she supposed to say something.. or just tell him she doesn't feel the same...? This didn't make any sense for him, but he just stood there.

Lute: "I... love you, too, Adam.."

Now that, THAT was just... he didn't even know how to describe it in words. Sure, he could have chosen to not believe her at all, but because the two grew closer.. he kinda just.. believed her.... just like that. His face becomes golden with blush as well, though he was slightly smiling.

Ever since that day, the two decided to have some kind of an open relationship (not committed, since Adam is still traumatized as hell after what happened with Lilith, ESPECIALLY Eve, who he basically committed to even more, only for her to leave him suddenly without a trace, confessing his love to Lute obviously didn't automatically make his fears go away), and Adam and Lute just enjoyed each other's company xd

sooooo uh ye, this is kinda what I think happened (those r just imaginary scenarios tho), im gonna take another breath now *intensly inhales the oxygen tank*

OKOK YES YES SO TRUE i agree with the idea of them being rivals/being annoyed with each other at first but again I wouldn’t necessarily call that ENEMY territory since it’s not like they’re out to kill each other or something LMFAOAOA also i love Thank You For The Venom so much @deadgirlwalking91 is so damn talented it’s crazy! That fic has definitely shaped a lot of my headcanons for them as well haha

And YES the part of him vowing to never fall in love again but……. then there was Lute and whoops here we go again LMFAO!! And yes, again, this man is so damn insecure and has a fear of rejection n shit so ofc he thinks she’s not gonna reciprocate. And meanwhile Lute is very much in denial, but she loves him just as much.

ALSO THE ARGUMENT CONFESSION? NEEDED. SO SO REAL. And I am a huge believer in Adam having commitment/trust issues but as time goes on Lute pretty much proves her loyalty to him and mends his deep-seated abandonment issues 😭

God, i LOVE guitarspear.

Hi! Thank you for answering my prayer. Sooo…Tighnari x reader but reader takes some things literally (has a hard time detecting sarcasm, jokes go right over reader’s head) [totally not calling myself out (I am)] Also, how's your farming for TIghnari going?

pfft- (is this your way for asking more from me? Alright I’ll whip something up for you. Even if it isn’t <33) Also ✅/⭐️

Farmings great so far. 5k primos with everything he needs. Besides mora and exp books lol. Stole some of colleis artifacts to give to him. Including her stringless and amazing sands rip.

Here’s a recording of my current build for him. (On Faruzan. Half of it is colleis artifacts, unless I somehow get a better sands (Which I’m so proud of) it’s his IM SORRY COLLLEII 😭🤚 forgive me for my actions :d )

Don’t forget about the extra crit dmg from EM. I have 164.4 in total with it. (I basically have 600 EM. Which should grant 35% out of 60%) It’s only for charged shots and burst tho lol. But he does better with it XD

Hoyoverse where’s my Tighnari?????

Profile if ur looking for it. Lvl 10 friendship card with collei. Been playing since 1.6!

Anywayss, I’m on America server.

Here’s something I came up with. Just not a full on story lol.

A Lummox at heart

(Fluff, G/N Reader.) (Love confession.)

under cut <33

“Master Tighnari I don’t think Y/N understands sarcasm. They usually don’t react to jokes.” Collei admitted thinking of times when you heard jokes from cyno and didn’t understand.

“Y/N is truly the biggest lummox I have ever seen.” He’d reply focusing on his letter to send. Listening to collei talk about you. Speak of the devil, you came in with cyno.

He lowered his ears. Getting worried if he was going to hear another joke from cyno. “Were we collei-ing (coming) in at a wrong time?” Cyno stated as collei looked unamused. You stayed silent barely understanding his random jokes. Collei muttered out a few words as she kept listening.

“What-?” You’d state clearly oblivious to the joke he told. “We sure totally would love to listen to it again.” Tighnari mocked cyno as he rolled his eyes. Focusing on the paper.

“Oh then tell us cyno.” You’d state as Tighnari regretted his sarcastic remark. Lowering his ears as far as he could and finished the letter.

As cyno finished explaining everyone beside cyno and Y/N were dreadful. “Ohh!” You would state understanding it now but not bothering to laugh.

As cyno left a little later to go attend to his duties collei did the same. When you were about to take your leave he grabbed your arm gaining your attention as you turned around with an confused and soft expression.

“is something wrong Nari?” You’d ask being curious as he let go of your arm. “I really want to tell you something.” “Go ahead then Nari.”

“I love you I’m sure of it.” He’d say growing shy with the seconds as his tail swished rapidly. One of the rare moments to see the oh so calm and collected head chief so flustered.

“Anything else-?” You’d ask also shy kinda waiting for him to explain why. “What else do you need to know? Knowing me surely is enough. Or do you not know about some species of mating?” He’d ask blankly stating with a slight sarcastic tone.

“Nevermind then.” You’d say as you looked away. “Anyways… I accept it!” You’d state turning back to his view quickly. As soon as he heard those words he jumped at the chance to hug you. Literally.

He held you close as he took in your scent and wrapped his tail around you. Marking you as his effectively. His ears back to their normal state as you embraced the bug. He’d leave the crook of your neck alone as he faced you.

“You’re truly a Lummox at heart. You’re my favorite lummox.” He’d say as he peppered few kisses on your face. Earning a few giggles from you. Not bothering to deal with his work for the day.

He was always by your side when you were at Gandharva Ville, letting everyone know you were dating their head chief. (Yes you know how fennec foxes mate.) If anyone still tried to take their chance he’d dismiss it after his patience was gone. Growling with his tail on end and his ears perked in annoyance and anger.

He’s get you gifts every now and then something he thinks you’d enjoy either that he personally found in the forest or sumeru city.

(here it is woo <33 I hope you enjoyed it.)

More Disventure Camp greetings! 😄

Ok, as much as Idgaf about Riya, I will admit, this costume is gorgeous on her~ :D

https://youtu.be/CbTkiFx3Dtc?si=S4Z1MFtcvNo00gcn

Out of all the outrageous outfits I've seen people make Jake wear, I actually really like this one! The colours suit him very well & the cherry earrings are cute~

https://youtu.be/ AK0ZAms7zMQ?si=nxNyCjdnpc76-Sz_

Awww❤ Ya know, even though Will didn't get many appearances in S1 or 3, I like the guy. I hope he and Ashley live the best life together~!

And now here's Ashley's side of the story

https://hevygtHPbBo?si=Z5TxbAR3pNC17wnS

https://youtu.be/yzPkW3IZ-_l?si=5WiWF3L_b0l7WgfE

Heard this person's a big fan of Nick and they finally got a personal greeting from him.

https://youtu.be/YGFZHcxVh_E?si=F2P50yM6I9YWNNAB

I really hope we get more Drew greetings in the future, he's so precious! X3 (Also it's probably worth mentioning that Tom did confirm in one of his greetings that he did apologize to Drew at the motel in S1 for assuming the worst & voting him out and he fully accepted it. And I fully agree with Tom, Drew's a good kid.💚)

https://youtu.be/xynOU4K7F_o?si=VOKVh5XeLx2EP-y1

One more for Drew~ (about Grett)

https://youtu.be/IAnqtlCLKRo?si=Ol6MNW9zozYchKRn

Hated the Connor slander, Loved and cherished the Fiore one~! ^ ^ (Granted Ellie is also in my list of non-favourites but, glad we can agree on one thing~ Cuz she's absolutely right and she should say it! 😤 (about Fiore and Riya))

https://youtu.be/siJ3o8pAnWY?si=3fni5lCbomDhgYTm

https://youtu.be/DAQ5DR4EPKk?si=70HC7FaE8gyglU99

Pfft! She absolutely would do both of these things! XD (Really shows that she's still a kid despite her crudeness & the facade she puts up... and I guess I could give credit for that one thing- But that's all she's getting from me) Wonder if they'll show either of these in the motel ep...

ooh, love the rainbow colors!

that is a really nice costume! the black flowers suit her well. i also think it's really interesting that they got the english and spanish voice actresses to sing the same song in their respective languages. i wonder if having such similar greetings like that could get you like a bundle deal discount or something.

orange and blue color palettes are some of my favorites as well, so i fully agree with you that Jake looks great here! assuming that this was the link you meant to send. i'm pretty sure those are orange earrings, not cherry ones, lol.

apparently, the Will, Ashley, and Nick greetings have been taken down since you sent in this ask :/ cinematic parallels with season 1. sorry i took so long getting to them! i agree, though; although neither Will nor Ashley are particularly high up on my favorites list, i certainly don't dislike them, and i think they make a pretty cute couple :D

as a fellow excessive emoticon user, i appreciate Drew's usage of the funny little faces :D they were able to pack so much personality into this silent performance!

it's funny how everyone is asking Drew if he wanted to be on All Stars. i guess the non-All Stars overall have less content to be asked about. glad that he was able to come around on Grett, though!

apparently the slanderous one was also removed. who wants to bet it was Riya's agent sniping it from the shadows?

... Fiore, girl, what do you want with their cat? anyways, i always love getting to peer behind the curtain and see how surprisingly functional Gabby and Ellie's relationship is. getting Ellie to sing Chappell Roan also felt inevitable.

... FIORE, GIRL, WHY DO YOU WANT TO UNDERAGE DRINK?! i guess in Italy, the drinking age is only 18, not 21, so maybe she's used to only being... 10 years away...? also, Raitix sounded really nice singing this song :)

(combining some of your other asks down here. indented text was sent in by @sapphireroses282)

Another Fiore greeting with a new outfit. I will admit, it looks cute on her~ 💛 (first time seeing her in a skirt/dress too) Also wonder if it's PowerPuff Girls Z inspired~? 👀

SHE'S A STAR!!!! this is an adorable outfit. the strategy is not at all surprising, though. still, if it had been Fiore as opposed to Connor who came back, i wonder how things would have played out regarding Yul. were the villains' fates doomed from the start, or could an extra number have allowed Alec and Riya (and Fiore) to work with Gabby and Grett to take out Yul, thus keeping their allegiances? maybe Fiore could have forced Alec to keep his head on straight and not kiss Riya, at least.

Also here's an Alec & Fiore shitpost/meme:

this should've happened on the plane to the camp. also, slightly related tangent, but it's funny how used to Alec wearing just that white shirt and having the beard i've gotten. when i started watching All Stars, i found it really jarring, but now the thought of Alec wearing a sweater vest of all things is hilarious. why did you look SO nerdy my guy?

Why do I see this actually happening!??? 😂 The adult-child taking care of the manchild.

this post made me feel like Tom would really like the song Barbie Girl. also it's funny how square Fiore's head is.
