So Izuku said "Why don't you become my heart 心 then?"

Then Bakugou's heart 心 stopped bcz of Izuku for lose control

Izuku remember twice "Control your heart心

Black whip shading as spesifically heart 心

What do you think about this Pika? Same words and 17-19 chps later is consiquences or? Isnt that means Izuku become Katsuki's heart, and when bakugou's heart stopped, he couldnt control his heart, black whip shading as heart.?

You're the second person to come to me recently with similar questions. I'm guessing some of this is a topic of discussion growing in popularity somewhere on the internet. I don't know for sure as I haven't seen all such discussions.

I'll answer your questions, but as a courtesy I'll warn you in advance: I tend to view these concepts as fun little symbolic meanings a reader might ascribe the text, not as intentional symbolism inserted by Horikoshi. Like, if you enjoy discussing these ideas for fun and building on them through art and discussion, more power to you. But I don't believe any of these interpretations have any predictive power in the story. I personally don't find any of these mentioned theories compelling or persuasive, but I am not interested in dismissing the value of any reader interpretations. I merely intend to comment on whether or not I believe these theories hold any weight in canon.

My interest in discussing these ideas is entirely linguistic, since I think that's the major reason people ask me of all people questions like these. I do believe the veracity of these theories in question hinges on an English-language interpretation of the text that does not carry over to the original Japanese.

I'll elaborate.

1. The "heart"

First, some corrections. You've provided a list of examples of "heart," yet you've assigned the word kokoro 心 to each of them. Kokoro does not apply to all of those instances where the English version uses the word "heart."

I'll admit, I don't know which moment in the manga you're referring to with this example:

So Izuku said "Why don't you become my heart 心 then?"

Otherwise, the only instance in your examples where the word kokoro would be appropriate is in "control your heart" with reference to Izuku. The Japanese there is "kokoro wo sei suru."

As for Katsuki's heart exploding, the correct word for "heart" in this case is shinzou 心臓. Shinzou is the Japanese word for the physical heart organ in the body. Note that in English, we use the word "heart" to mean a lot of things that aren't actually the same thing. We could mean someone's heart organ, but we can also mean something more abstract, like a person's essence or feelings, their core, their personality. These two concepts have separate words in Japanese. It does not necessarily follow to simply connect Katsuki's heart exploding to any instance of the word kokoro in the manga for this reason. That doesn't make the connection completely moot, I should point out. The kokoro for instance is thought to reside within a person's core at the center of their abdomen--albeit usually a little lower than where the heart organ is, like in their gut. It's the location where a samurai would stab to perform harakiri (literally "stomach cutting") in ritual suicide. I can't speak with authority on how these concepts may tie together in Japanese such that they would be depicted in certain ways in literature. All I'm saying is, there isn't a straightforward connection between Katsuki's heart exploding and the "control your heart" topic. That interpretation likely comes from the fact that these terms are conflated as one word, "heart," in English.

Likewise, when it comes to the "heart" people see in Black Whip in chapter 367, that is just the English term for the ideograph heart shape. It is not the same thing as kokoro in Japanese. In Japanese, this shape is just called HAATO ハート.

While there is no linguistic relationship between these terms in Japanese, I would never go so far as to say Japan doesn't know what the heart ideograph symbolizes. For all I know, one could make the connection between the heart shape and the Japanese concept of kokoro. However, I don't see any reason to believe the popular recognition of this "heart" shape in the above panel is anything more than normal pattern-seeking behavior of the human brain. If you're interested in the fandom theory surrounding the words "control your heart," you are primed to be on the lookout for any sort of heart symbolism. That doesn't mean everything you see as a heart is necessarily intended to be perceived as a heart. Honestly, the above image looks to me like a dynamic artistic representation of black whip's spiraling movement. I could make out a heart shape if I wanted, but it does not seem deliberate to me at all. It's fun to recognize the heart there as a little fandom in-joke, but otherwise I don't think the shape has any textual meaning. That's just my opinion though. The point is, if you really think that's deliberately drawn to be a heart and that it means something, I'm not the right person to talk to about it. I am not convinced by that theory.

2. The "romantic"

There are two issues to address here: the issue of fact, and the linguistics issue.

As for the issue of fact, I am not convinced Katsuki was in the "OFA realm." To be clear, the facts of the matter to me are as follows. There is no "OFA realm," there is just the "quirk/vestige realm" in which all quirks in theory could exist. The only reason we know that we would ever see this realm is because of a quirk that interferes with the realm such as AFO or OFA. However, Izuku and All Might both have vestiges in this realm, so there may be something more going on here (probably something to do with their having OFA). But since we know All Might's vestige is not exactly the same thing as a quirk, we can't make easy conclusions about it. His quirk COULD be a manifestation of the new will of OFA, so it may just be that his vestige is OFA. But it's also clearly tied to All Might in the real world (which has never been in question, we've heard about this several times). It may have little to do with OFA. We just don't know.

Given these facts, I cannot draw the conclusion that the mysterious image we saw of Katsuki encountering All Might's vestige on a blank backdrop WAS the vestige realm. Even if I assume it was the vestige realm, I cannot conclude that it had anything to do with the vestige realm inside Izuku. I don't know if it had anything at all to do with OFA. I'm not saying that for sure this has nothing to do with OFA, but I am saying I cannot make any positive claims about it. It could have to do with OFA, it could have nothing to do with OFA.

What I'm saying is, sure Katsuki could make an appearance in the vestige realm. He also could have nothing to do with that. Or also EVERYONE could make an appearance in the vestige realm. I don't really know. Horikoshi could choose to go in that direction, but it's also just as likely that he could choose not to go in that direction. All I can say is, "Sure there's a possibility of that!" I just can't say anything like, "Yeah that's definitely gonna happen." I don't know and I'm not really interested in it until there's stronger evidence for it.

Now for the issue of linguistics. I don't know if you're trying to say the words 道半ばで appear somewhere with respect to Katsuki. I do know Nana says them. But whether or not these words apply to Katsuki, I have a different issue to bring up. I may have said something about this before, but it may not have been clear and it bears repeating since it's probably been a long time.

I don't think when Nana says "romantic" she means what you think she means.

The word Nana uses in Japanese is ROMAN ロマン. If you look up this word, you'll find that it's the word used to refer to the romances, not the contemporary romance genre. Historically, the romances were a robust genre of literature. Shakespeare has his "romance plays," for instance. This has little to do with the term "romance" as we think of it in the contemporary sense. In the Japanese definitions I find online, the most common examples shown are the Arthurian romances, which are defined as "narrative, written in prose or verse and concerned with adventure, courtly love and chivalry." Basically, Nana is saying this idea that she'll live on in One For All is beautiful, poetic, mystical, epic. She's not talking about romance like the concept of two people falling in love and their attempts to pursue each other (and I mean, come on, that kind of romance would be a little weird for Nana to bring up in this context since she's talking to her young student Toshinori Yagi).

I will emphasize the above argument by pointing out that there is another word in Japanese for that contemporary "genre of love" type of romance: ROMANSU ロマンス. For reference, this is the word that gets used a lot in stories like Sailor Moon (notably in its original catchy-as-hell theme song). If Horikoshi really meant to use ROMAN ロマン to mean "romance" as in the "genre of love," he sure went out of his way to choose the one version of the word that doesn't unambiguously mean that type of romance.

Now, that said, the meeting of Katsuki and All Might's vestige in that mysterious plane COULD COUNT as "romantic" in the sense of the Arthurian romances. It just remains to be seen what that panel was all about.

DESPAIR RAID (THH) SPEEDRUN (CHAPTER 5) BECAUSE I FEEL THERE IS SOMETHING IN NOVEMBER (GOD DAMN IT!!!!)

SO IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW..PROBABLY YOU DID NOT, things will go somewhere in November, it's SDR2 its something else.? I.Don't. Know but I know that if it's SDR2 I'll be heading straight toward it First of all, Terminology I didn't see like..Gosh I stopped seeing them when I was 10 or so.. Time to get the silly things out of the way:

''It's amazing how you can still see him from that tall Ivory tower" Suggests massive ego, someone who spends time with someone who has a massive ego and counts on them like a friend even if they don't care. And ''Don't cry princess or your crown will fall!" (Said by Monokuma)

Like jesus man alright. Didn't have to throw me back into a time machine that much!! And as a kid I liked rebosteio...Why I say this..Oh well

Byakuya: Where is the pickaxe, why isn't it with you? Shou: You meant a straight-up d1ck?! I didn't know you liked these things! You get it Pica/Pika means ''Dick''..Silly..!! Sigh... Don't ask what pikachu is two words away from...

Let's get darker! Makoto and Byakuya cook a churrasco! 1, It's outside, 2 they are together, 3 having no tables is so real (optional), 4 just because they hit all 3 doesn't mean it tastes good or it is moral (we don't cook people please do not take this out of context its common sense - my friend made me add this observation)

I did not sleep well tonight..Forgive me.

Makoto: The moment I put my hand on the door, I close my eyes and start muttering a short prayer, I turn the doorknob slowly.. Chrstian Makoto Naegi (especially in chapter 5 not even in a class trial) is not something I see..Monokuma I was used to it because he says ''Morning! god helps early birds!'' Makoto was a surprise

Hiro: I will make this beauty work in just a minute, faster than you guys saying LARGARFLJÓTSOMUR!

Makoto: I don't know what is ...That, I don't want to pronounce it...

(I don't know what that means either...) Two more things: When Makoto summoned Monokuma I really thought they were going to re-invent this:

youtube

Monokuma also won the swearing competition for this chapter: a total of 8! Ok about the serious changes that happened

Mukuros paper wasn't really translated which is sad but...Eh what can you do

She was also changed to mercenary which is a more threatening title for the ones who happen to not know:

Mercenary Meaning adjective Who acts or works only for money or for the advantages offered to him; self-interested. [Military] Who performs a job from an adjusted value or salary; it is said of the soldier. masculine noun A mercenary, self-interested guy, who only does something for money or for the advantages that this work can bring him. [Military] A soldier who serves in the army only for pay. (From a Portuguese dictionary site) The fact that are not really serious things this chapter is also a relief and a shame for me because I get to gush about it a little less? Except that Togami is committed another typo in word classroom he said ''alas'' instead of ''aula'' I think?

Last thing: Kyouko: It seems like your plan went..Down water...[clapping audience] She knows she is winning..!!!

Reference to this movie maybe??? (Probably not but the more you know!! :3)

Do you have any Mom-Iris headcanons? Oliver and Lillian are so cute!

Sure!

Iris grew up without a family, so the parenting role was a huge ?? for her. She is very grateful to have Ash and Delia beside her, and of course her pokemon for support when things get tough

Iris prefers fresh ingredients when cooking to her babies, or simply serve hand picked berries/ fruit

We know how Iris is able to make her own home made remedies/ medicine? She has medicine against ANYTHING! They work, but the taste is awful. Oliver and Lillian never fake being sick because they know Iris will whip up some medicine for them

Iris loves her babies to bits ... But sometimes hearing the word "mom" being repeated 4532 times in an hour drives her mad.

Ash has some awful habits, like scarfing down his food when he's excited. Oliver and Lillian will copy his manners, which Iris finds annoying, since she wants her kids to have good manners.

As the years pass, Iris becomes more comfortable with the mom-role. She loves spending time with her kids and play with them. She also isn't afraid to act all silly and childish to make them laugh

Iris doesn't like to use make-up (she only wears it when she has to, like when she is appearing on TV or have Champion duties) Iris has learnt to hide all her make-up in the highest shelf in the bathroom, or else Lillian will paint the walls with them (and put a bit on her own face, too)

Iris is all about spirituality, so she doesn't tolerate cursing in her home. This is the only thing she is strict about (other than that, she is a pretty chill mom)

Iris' Dragonite is still all about acting tough. Iris will never not swoon about seeing Dragonite act gentle with Oliver and Lillian, like letting them play with his tail or cuddle with him

Iris has always woken up early, while Ash sleeps in whenever he can. Their routine is abruptly changed when they welcomed Oliver and Lillian into the world. Every morning, they are woken up by their kids jumping on their bed like a trampoline, while cheering and laughing. And then one of them will accidentally fall on Ash's stomach and knock the wind outta him.

Iris don't feed Oliver and Lillian a lot of junk (candies, chips etc.) But you can bet Ash and Iris has a hidden shelf full of candy that they eat when their kids go to bed 😇

Iris doesn't like to read. But she definitely will read a goodnight story to her kids when they ask her to do so. And then she ends up falling asleep with them

After months of trying to teach baby!Oliver to say "mama", competing against Ash trying to teach him the word "papa", Oliver's first word ended up becoming "pika". Pikachu was very proud 😭

Iris is not sure how she ended up with two kids who love ice and fairy type pokemon ... Oliver tends to catch ice-types, while Lillian adores fairy-type pokemon

Iris is careful not to dote too much on Oliver and Lillian. Sure she is a champion and a dragon master, and therefore money is never an issue, but she doesn't want her kids to become spoiled. Iris always makes sure to let them choose their own path

Iris learns early on to be careful about what's said in front of her kids, because Oliver and Lillian have nooo issues talking about her business at daycare

Cilan is still a close friend of Iris' and she appreciates him ... But she doesn't appreciate him influencing Oliver and Lillian to become mini-Cilans after he babysits them. Often Iris will have to listen to her kids lecturing her about trains, old-school movies, fishing etc. in great detail. Ash finds it hilarious, though

#asks #mom!Iris gives me life #this became a wall of text oops

Arceus's mark

[the title changed! Good news.]

<chap 2

Tw; throwing up, something in the throat like a bug.

"...oh" Ash lets out in amusement, he remembered what the plates he had gotten was for, he remembered why he was so uneasy to Volo, oh Arceus, he shouldn't have sent him into the past head first (literally), he was glad he didn't end up like Subway master ingo.

"Who?" Ash asked,

"Warden ingo," irida said, "i think you can help him with his amnesia." She looks worried.

Ash rubbed his chin for a second in an attempt to remember something."Ingo...why does that name sounds familiar- OH—"

Maybe he should request Arceus to send the man, Ingo, back to Unova, that poor man, his twin is probably ripping his own hair out.

Step step

He can hear someone walking towards his tent, he groaned, who is it this time?

"Hello? Sir ketchum, Are you there?" It was Cyllene, oh boy how glad was he when he realized it wasn't Kamado, he almost thanked Arceus but then remembered what the God of all had done.

Ash stood up and approached Cyllene, "What is the leader of the galaxy's team's survey doing here?" Ash softens, even though this is the ancestor of Cyrus, she wasn't as bad as he is.

"Ah, I'm just delivering a message from sir Kamado." She said,

Ash's soft demeanor quickly fell to ruins as he groaned in irritation, "ah, that man." Ash clicked his tongue and Cyllene raised an eyebrow before she gave Ash a letter.

"Oh, a quick message from Kamado." Cyllene cleared her throat, her face seemingly displeased and is saying; 'this is unnecessary'

"Please do not interact much with the galaxy team members any further."

Ash was sure some of those words were simplified and watered down to a polite one by Cyllene, he can hear Kamado rambling about how much this random kid is affecting the galaxy team in his head, Ash thanked Cyllene and she bowed before leaving.

Right after that lightning strikes down and it starts to rain, he sees Cyllene panicking and running back to the Jubilife village, he quietly chuckles before frowning again, looking at the letter in his hand.

"Motherfucker." Ash cursed quietly before throwing the letter to the side of the tent, Kamado should really mind his own business, he has favored the galaxy team members for like 6-5 or even 10 Times and most of it was to collect some stuff in the obsidian land, if at this point Kamado is STILL not satisfied by him he would burn the whole Jubilife village out of pure spite if it weren't for his three favorite people in the village, Lavender, Rei and Akari.

And right when he's finally able to rest for a few second, he can hear screaming in the distance, and a pokemon's good stomping on the ground while rapidly approaching his tent, Ash gets up, opens his tent and;

"SHUT THE FUCK U— oh hey Akari, Rei, and..deer," he's guessing it's a noble pokemon deer,

Akari was at the front and Rei was at the back, they looked like they're about to cry, "Why are you guys out in the rain??"

Akari took a deep breath, "So we were in a hurry and wanted your help in calming the frenzied Electrode down!" She explains, oh that's why they were in such a hurry, well, At Least he'll have something to do.

"Alright alright." Ash sighed and whistled, soon a Rapidash zoomed towards them and slowly stopped near Ash, on Rapidash's back was Pikachu.

"pika!" Pikachu shouted.

While Rei and Dawn were still shocked at the fact that the fire didn't burn Ash.

Ash quickly got on Rapidash's back, and all of them started to travel towards the destination, "By the way where are we going and who are we meeting?"

"Coronet Highland then, we're probably gonna meet Warden Ingo first so we can Ask the Noble pokemon lady Sneasler to help us reach Electrode" Akari tells him and Ash can't help but almost be confused by all these titles.

"I just don't want to see Melli's face there." Rei frowns.

"Ah yes, Melli, he's interesting." Ash chuckled while scratching the back of his neck, before telling Rapidash to go faster, "come on, we have no time to lose!" He laughs.

"WHY ARE YOU ACTING LIKE THIS IS A FLIMSY MATTER!?" Dawn shouted in disbelief as Ash sped off from them, "ASHHH!" she called.

The rain slowed down, and turned into snow as they approached the Coronet Highland.

The change didn't bother Ash, rather it was inconvenient for his clothes, it's starting to get cold now, well at Least he's grateful that Arceus gave him a lot of clothes for the trip in Hisui, Although most of it comes in his color aka white colors and decorated with gold, he hid the ones with gold because of course it'll be suspicious for a newly arrived outsider to have fancy clothing like those.

He gets off Rapidash, Along with Dawn (Akari) and Rei who guides him to Ingo, and Ash can't help but think, 'what happened to this guy while I was gone???'

They talk for a while before Melli comes up, causing Rei to lose all his energy in a second, whining about why exactly he's here, and then Melli goes on and try to convince them that the frenzied Electrode was … a blessing from the almighty sinnoh.

It took Ash's whole willpower to not pull up his newspaper and slap Melli with it, don't ask why he has a newspaper he just does, Ash cursed in Unovan under his breath and Ingo can't help but snap his head towards Ash when he said it.

"Listen, Melli, you either let people die from that frenzied Noble pokemon of yours or let it and all of us have a peaceful life." It took another hour to argue with Melli to convince him to let them calm the frenzied Noble down, He scoffs and lets them enter the cave.

If he wanted to he would have fisted Melli right then and there and give him a lesson if it weren't for his reputation, "Pikachu, light up the room." And Pikachu obliged.

"Pika pika..chupi." Pikachu whispered as electricity lit up the cave.

"Soon, Pikachu, soon." Ash grunts.

Akari and Rei were amazed by Pikachu's ability and started to ask Ash how he did it, "It's a passive ability in most pokemon that can create light out of electricity or other types, come on let's go." Ash explains briefly before speeding up his pace.

Although they slowed down after a few minutes, Ingo started to talk to Ash and they had a very interesting talk, Ash mimicking the way he talks in an attempt to make him remember something and then explaining the words he doesn't remember the meaning of, unfortunately they arrived at the other side of the cave.

They end up meeting Melli again and the twin groans in irritation, Ash however steps up to battle with Melli, Melli was so prideful that Ash was probably really motivated to sweep out his whole team with one Pikachu.

Well he did.

And seeing Melli's face redden from embarrassment was so satisfying for the whole group, "THAT'S FOR UNCLE INGO!" Rei yelled and all the head snapped towards him before he realized what he just said, Akari patted him on the back while he covered his face with his palm from shame as they continued to walk towards the destination.

Ingo, who can't smile however, seemed happy when Rei called him that, Ash guess he's also feeling a sense of familiarity because Rosa called him uncle once in Unova and it embarrassed her so much if Ash remembered correctly.

When they were in the ruins Ingo started to give a history lesson to all of them, Ash nodded while he was listening even if he knew about it, patting his white kimono and pants off of the snow before abruptly stopping at the familiar step noises.

Ash slowly turned his head around to see who it was, and the dreaded feeling was confirmed, and his hand instinctively reached the base of his own neck.

Volo, GODDAMMIT TROUBLE MAGNET GENES.

Ingo asked him what he's doing here, but Volo then starts to trail off from the topic and explains that he's wondering on what's the other side of the rift.

"Why? It's not like you're gonna go and sell your products there." Ash said to Volo,

"If I could, I would." Volo crosses his arms,

Ash was definitely holding the urge to slap him with one of Arceus's plates right then and there.

After a while they had to depart and they finally arrived but they had to wait for lady Sneasler, Ingo explained about her hidden move to climb but Ash didn't pay attention to his explanation, and only explained the words the twins didn't understand that was said by Ingo.

But the experience after the explanation was what caught Ash's attention, Ingo offering a battle to the three of them, Ash however has another idea.

Telling him that they can do a double battle because there are enough people there, he was confused at first but caught on quickly, and then Ash had to explain it to the twin before they got in the battle.

It was easy to say the least, but however Ingo seemed very pleased about it, subconsciously saying bravo as a congratulations and then calling for Emmet, Ash felt pity at that moment.

He was..searching for Emmet, he doesn't even remember who he is still but he knows how important Emmet is and knows he's a family and—all the memories still haven't recovered, but..most of them did, not in great detail although, but enough for Ingo to understand the basic but not explain in full detail.

He knows most of the meaning of the modern word he said now, Ash impulsively makes a pulling movement with one of his hands and Ingo whistles something like a train noise, Akari perked up a little bit but Rei...was still confused but amused.

And then Lady Sneasler arrived, with a basket on her back, eager to put one of the teenagers in it.

Her attention was stolen by Ash who forgot about something, the mark on his neck, it's visible to all of the pokemons, it shines like Arceus's golden thing on Arceus's waist...just that it's like a prickling light surrounding around his neck, but unable to be seen by regular humans who haven't encountered Arceus.

She grabs him despite his attempt at running away from her and carries him first up the mountain before catching Akari and Rei who was dumbfounded because Lady Sneasler was running to Ash while he tried to escape like he owed her thousands of money, when Ingo asked her why she wanted to carry Ash first she only replied a voice, Ingo had a feeling it was...supposed to be: "it is my duty to serve him."

They meet Melli again who wants a rematch and Ash kicks Rei into the battlefield, Rei looks back at Ash in betrayal before absolutely wiping Melli's pokemons off the battle ground, Ash grinned at (his student's) Rei's strength.

And then Melli drops the bomb that he won't tell Electrode's favorite food and now they can't fucking calm the frenzied pokemon down, Ash was about to jump on Melli but then Adaman appeared and told them their favorite food, BLESS THE LORDS AND ARCEUS, only for this time, come to think of it, he doesn't interact much with Adaman.

Melli whines to Adaman while Ash has a smug face from victory, but it is short lived because Adaman kept staring at Ash with a strange look and Ash can only act like usual, he had to guide Rei and Akari in how to move constantly without getting hit too many times, well Akari and Rei are used to it because they catch pokemons for Professor Lavender.

"MOVE!" Ash screamed as Akari barely dodged an electric ball, Ash grabbed Rei's whole body and threw him to the side with sheer strength before jumping to the side, he hit his left leg but it's okay, he's alive, Rei was a bit flabbergasted at how easily Ash carried him in those few seconds.

All of them were on the ground when the frenzied noble was calmed down, Ash was however hovering down while still standing, breathing heavily and coughing a lot, he got hit by the electricity a lot of times but it was worth it in the end. (Besides, he was immune to Electric types if he must say.)

Nope, it wasn't.

Anyways, Ingo came back and started explaining about his memory returning, about trainers and humans living comfortable with pokemons.

After that they all head back to their respective ways and home, Adaman although followed Ash because he piqued his interest so he offers to accompany Ash back to his camp, and Ingo who noticed this also offered to do it, and then the twins decided to follow him too, Ash wanted to refuse it at first but he was too tired to refuse and argue so he just lets them do whatever they want.

Ash can't help but breathe heavily, he was tired, he was exhausted, and the Mark on his neck was fading dim.

Adaman tried to have a conversation with Ash but Ash can only tell him briefly about any topic, he doesn't like to linger long on one topic,

Unexpectedly, Ash was starting to wheeze, his friends already in front of the path and Adaman was asking if he was okay, but he couldn't hear it, and then he felt something sickening.

He tensed before leaning off his Rapidash, ending up with him falling down to the ground with a loud 'thud', he was trying to get something to get out of his throat, something was in there- something- it was crawling all over until he couldn't breathe, he scratched his neck intensely before he started gagging.

The noises calling his name were a blur, everything was a blur, and something reached the top, and he opened his mouth.

A bunch of mixed liquid came out of his mouth, but most of it wasn't liquid, it was a sizzlipede, a pokemon from the Galar region, he doesn't know why it came out and how it even got there.

What he does know is that Centipede pokemons are a hint of Giratina, a mark of Giratina.

Ash can feel the consciousness drain for him rapidly as his eyesight faded in and his body gave up as he fell to the side of the ground.

One last thought before he was fully unconscious was that he wanted Arceus to strengthen his protection on him so that this doesn't happen again.

Or maybe curse Volo because this was probably his doings.

Tagging @ir0n-angel (go ahead and include all your beta work), @lilbittymonster, @bogunicorn, @natsora, @demarogue, @serial-chillr, @dreadfutures and @rosella-writes. No pressure! Feel free to answer these categories or come up with your own if you want.

So, I'd actually already put together a thing for this, then Pika tagged me. 😂 This got super long, so most of it will be under a cut.

Words posted: 267,008. This total has had subtracted from it the amount that already existed for the two carry over fics (WG and Just Like Fire). So this is actually what I posted this year.

Additional Words Written: ~78K. I have a couple things on the back burner that haven't been posted yet, but they have been written, so they should be counted. Plus there's a few chapters of WG not yet published.

Grand total of words: 345K.

Fandoms: 3

Highest Kudos: She's My Plus One at 139. (WG doesn't count, not being new)

Highest Hit Oneshot: Pride, Squared at 1207.

New Things I Tried: I joined two new (to me) fandoms this year. I finally finished the Dr. Who fic I'd been lackadaisically working on for over a year and played (read?) The Wayhaven Chronicles for the first time and was inspired.

I also joined in Camp NaNo this year, as well as in November. Totals for the year – April: ~23K; July: ~16K; Nov: ~22K

And I did my first exchange! I wrote two fics for the Solavellan Hell Exchange in July.

Fic I Spent the Most Time On: WG, of course. I'm coming up on two years of continuously writing and posting that behemoth.

Fic I Spent the Least Time On: In, Through, Beyond. Written, beta'd and ready for posting in roughly 30 hours.

Favorite Thing I Wrote: Pfft, like I can choose.

Like a Slingshot Around the Sun was an absolutely self-indulgent thing that came out of me after a lot of thought about how Imogen would totally fall for Bull if not for Solas.

A Fallow Season gave me all sorts of Feels(tm) for Lark Cadash and Solas.

My Blood On Your Hands, Your Teeth In My Skin was a giftfic for the mods of my first exchange, and gave me a chance to finally, finally put some words together for my other Lavellan, Laani.

Favorite Thing I Read: Considering how many times I've gone back to read it again, Groceries, by Candyholly. A Nine/Rose timeloop fic.

Writing Goals for 2023 – Finish WG. I'm so close. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Granted it's the train labeled 'sequel', but we don't need to talk about that just yet. Among the fics sitting in the WIP pile is the full version of Maker Damned Fools (Hawke/Varric), which will begin posting on Jan 2. I'd like to get Of Ruins and Restoration (Cadash/Solas) finished too, so I can start posting the rest of it. I'll be joining another exchange (this time it's open to all Solasmance), and Fluff-uary is coming.

New Works: 13

It was actually a pretty busy year in terms of new works. And the continuation of a couple ongoing WIP's. But I've slowed down considerably, even though my wordcount doesn't appear to agree. It's been a long five years of constant creativity and I'm Tired(tm). I'm calling it now that next year won't be nearly as big.

I've listed all of this year's fics with links and gushed a little:

Little Things – I got into The Wayhaven Chronicles late this year. And this wouldn't leave me alone until I wrote it. F!Detective/Mason, but Book One early relationship. Rated T for some language and suggestive moments. Because Mason of course. ~5400 words.

In, Through, Beyond – A Mirrorverse gift for @exalted-dawn. (The Mirrorverse is a collection of OC crossovers from the DAFF server, check it out here.) She'd posed a question to me about Imogen McLean and Lark Cadash meeting and how that might go. And apparently I had a lot to say about it. Rated E for shameless smut, including a threesome. 'Ware the tags. ~11.6K words.

Round Robin Volume 2 (SFW) – Speaking of the DAFF server, for our second anniversary we once again had a collaboration of prompt fics, round robin style (where each person writes a bit then passes it on to the next person). This is the one I participated in. Each chapter contains the prompt and ensuing ficlet written from it. It's mostly crack, written with the intention to be ridiculous, but I feel like this year we might have taken it a bit too seriously. I am genuinely proud of how the second prompt came out. Rated T for crude humor and mild violence, respectively. ~8800 words.

She's My Plus One – After many, many years of lurking in the fandom, I finally wrote a Dr. Who fic. Nine/Rose written from the Doctor's POV, this is a slice of life, 'could be canon' variation of the x + 1 trope. With a wild left turn at the end into AU territory because canon and I are very rarely on speaking terms. Rated M for sexual content at the end. ~12.4K words.

Like a Slingshot Around the Sun – An AU of an AU. A what-if for Imogen and Iron Bull based around the premise of 'what if Solas and Imogen didn't patch it up after the Storm Coast?'. Plotless porn, with Bull being my favorite service top. Rated E, obviously. ~5400 words.

I'll tell you my sins (and you can sharpen your knife) – Originally written as a gift for the Solavellen Hell Exchange. Stuff happened and now it's just a treat for everyone who participated in the exchange. A post-Veil look at how Solas might beg forgiveness from Lavellan. Rated T for some suggestive themes, fades to black. ~3600 words.

My Blood On Your Hands, Your Teeth In My Skin – A gift for the mods of the Solavellan Hell Exchange, because y'all deserved it. Lahalaan Lavellan has been waiting a long time for her moment in the spotlight. I'm kinda sorry it was such an angsty one, but hey, it's Solavellan. And this one is a dark!Solas to boot. Rated E for explicit sexual content that isn't truly smut...but it is. ~5K words.

A Fallow Season – The DAFF server has weekly prompts. This was the first time one of them grabbed me by the throat and demanded to be written. It started off as a drabble, then grew. And grew. Lark Cadash and Solas, in the final winter of their lives together. It's dark and tragic and beautiful. While I've placed it in Lark's series, it will not be how OR&R ends. Rated E for eventual smut. ~4600 words.

Violas and Jonquil – Rounding out Flowers for Fen'Harel with a soft ending for Ellisora Lavellan and her onetime-god lover. Fun fact, each work in this series is posted on the anniversary of the one before it. Rated G. ~1900 words.

Make It a Good One, Peaches – The final work in Til It Squeaks. Mortality comes to visit Carly Lavellan many, many years after the events of Twist and TSM. It's more sweet than bitter, but it is rated T for major character death. Tissues are available upon request. ~1700 words.

Soft In Skyhold – This year's Fluff-uary offering. 28 prompts, 28 chapters of Imogen and Co. being soft. This year Angel and I decided to make each prompt also work platonically, and as such, I determined that I would keep all of them SFW regardless of ship dynamics. Rated T for shenanigans and language. ~28.9K words.

Pride, Squared – A question/prompt given to me in the DAFF server posed the premise: Imogen between Solas and...someone else of the Fade persuasion. It became what it says on the tin. An Imogen sandwich on Pride bread. Rated E for threesome smut. 'Ware the tags. ~2700 words.

Earth Pizza and Qunari Street Food - Ages ago, Angel and I brainstormed a scene where Dorian had handprints on his butt in flour. It was always intended to either be part of Twist or TSM, but there was never room for it. So it became its own story. Carly cooking, Bull cooking, and found family. What more do you need? Rated T for some very mild angst and Adoribull shenanigans. ~4600 words.

Talking To A Wall

Today, we will dive into the random video I am watching and pointing out (along with debating on) the stuff this hatted Pikachu is pointing out. The video is here.

She meant to say Mew not Mewtwo. That was the painful one.... That's why you need another pair of eyes looking at your script.

Prof. Oak on purpose gave Ash Pikachu. Nope. As long as he didn't do anything with the timeline, nothing would have changed. He didn't have to do anything but let the day play out. So, nope. The only thing he did was capture a Pikachu. It does give you insight on what he was thinking in the first episode in a different way.

The series all happened in 3 years. But isn't there somethings they didn't see though. We don't see every single day I bet. But well it explains some of the stuff but.... he should be 13 by now.

Nurse Joy, a Pokémon? Nah. All blood related, duh. The interesting reveal, Joy is their last name. But not, a Pokémon. Lol, Chansey. No. Nuh uh. No.

The movies used to be connected to the series. I think by the 4th movie... that's where the disconnect started. Celebi had an anime story but got scrapped thanks to the movie.

Jessie and James aren't a couple. Umm... duh. Only in the manga.

I just said that.... but she is saying that the manga was fanservice when it comes to the marriage. (Not sure if it is true)

Meowth is still a wild Pokémon. Makes sense.

Ekans is snake. Arbok is Kobra/Cobra. Yes....

Pika and chu are two words put together.... ummm... Gnoggin/ Lockstin been showed this...

Pikachu was to be a black and white mouse. Didn't know that one.

Ketchum = Catch'em. Ah, duh. She made a good... forgetting about Tom Atto.

Ash crossdressed unwillingly until the XY series. (I missed that one... or wasn't paying much attention due to the sucky intros)

XY has the shortest episode run. Well.... they had to go into XYZ.

Scare in the Air turned into Spirits in the Sky thanks to 9/11. Didn't noticed. Mostly because that was an old episode and Kids WB stayed fresh.

Tentacool and Tentacruel.... that was the episode my VHS stopped in 10 minutes of the episode. (It was temporarily banned due to 9/11)

April 1, 1997... something in the sky happened in the same time as the show aired. (She wasn't alive at that time? I was and even then... the world news was not as robust as it is today, most likely was not reported. The internet? AAHAHAHA. You wanted to see it by the internet? Do you have 3 weeks to spare and everyone respects not to call you until the 3 weeks are up? I might be stretching this HAHAHA)

Nnnnope. Not doing you wish grant.

Ho-oh's wish.

Well... didn't you think that for Dawn and Serena, they are also character in the Pokémon game so.... Dad not known is their badge of honor as playable characters.

Zoe and Dawn, eh.

Star Trek? The sound effects: 2. No Togepi Has Gone Before. Makes sense.

Pokemon = Pocket Monsters. Duh...

Misty's sisters are wearing wigs? They are all raven haired? Is it because of the dislike of Erika or maybe to not be looking like as if related to Sabrina. Hmmmm. (Just a theory)

Flint says Brock's mom passed away. What she didn't understand is that............ Brock's dad remarried! REMARRIED. That was his step-mom. Source: Check out Pokémon Chronicles.

Route 1 sign post.

In the end....... she didn't even scratch the ones that people will say WHAT.

My ultimate trump card, Team Rocket was supposed to have a mafia styled showdown in an action packed two parter. It was never aired. Even in Japan. Only serebii.net has it alive in all the animation cells.

Can you guys tell us about pronouns? I see that some of your admins use some neopronouns!

hihi!! I'll take this one!! ^^

so, pronouns!! when people talk about pronouns in this context, they're talking about the ones they use to refer to themselves—personal pronouns! with only a few exceptions, everyone uses pronouns!!!! in many languages, the most common ones are a "masculine" and a "feminine". in Unovan and Galarian these would be he/him and she/her. I'll kinda just?? keep using Unovan and Galarian as the standard for this post since they're the most widely understood languages on Rotomblr, but it should be noted that some languages can shift dramatically in structure based on gender while others don't even see gender as a necessity in most situations!!! pronouns and gender as a concept vary a lot from language to language!!!

note: just because he and she are considered masculine and feminine pronouns that doesn't mean that you can't use them if you're not. The Right Gender™. words being gendered is a social construct. if you're masculine and want to use she/her or feminine and want to use he/him, there are no laws stopping you and even if there were like. break them!!!!!!! it's so dumb to police what words people use to describe their own selves!!!

ANYWAYS while he/him and she/her are the most common, there's also the neutral singular they/them that everyone forgets has existed for like. Ever????? there's also it/its as a neutral which CAN be derogatory if you use it against someone without asking if it's okay but!!!!! just because someone uses it/its for itself doesn't mean it's being self-hateful!! so be nice okay?? your other option is to perish.

and then there's NEOPRONOUNS!!!!! I can't list them all here because there are SO MANY and honestly I have so many of my own since I'm a bit of a pronoun hoarder ^^''''' I just put my main three sets up to keep things concise y'know??? BUT YEAH some people consider it/its as a personal pronoun to be a neopronoun, but the ones that come to mind to most people when thinking of neopronouns are xe/xem, ze/zir, and fae/faer!!! nounself pronouns like kit/kits and pi/pika also fall under this umbrella!!! these are pronouns that exist outside those commonly taught in schools and they're mostly used by nonbinary and genderqueer ppl but!!!! guess what!!! same as she/her and he/him you don't even need to be trans to use them!!!! if you're a cis man and you wanna use neos then there is literally nothing stopping u!!!

I know I just said it and I've said it a lot in this post but I'll say it again because a lot of people Just Don't Get It!!! pronouns are restricted by a person's PREFERENCE not GENDER!!! no one is ever ever EVER "the wrong gender" to use ANY pronoun. a cis lesbian can use he/him and that doesn't make him a man!!! a nonbinary person can use he/him or she/her without being either binary gender!!!! a transwoman can use they/them or it/its or any neo under the sun and still be a woman!!!!!!!!!!!!! gendered language is fake do what u want!!!!!!!!!

as a final note bc I've seen this shit happen before: pronouns are a matter of basic respect. even if you don't LIKE someone, even if they're outright EVIL, you should still use their proper pronouns. if we start misgendering people we don't like then that paints someone's correct pronouns as something to be Earned and not just. something you do when you want to treat someone as another human being, good or bad. which is a horribly dangerous precedent to set btw!!!!!!!! so don't do that!!!!!!

anyways I hope this answered any questions you might have had!!! I can go into more depth if you want but I figured I should just cover the basics for now ^^'''

How do you know you are in LOVE?

Some say they get butterflies in their stomach when they see the person. Some say they feel safe, secure, and respected in love. For some, it's the feeling of coming home.

There is also slow love, you might not feel anything with that person in the beginning but gradually you will know that this is the right or wrong person for you.

So don't wait for butterflies to tell you that you are in love rather listen to words, see actions, hear appreciation, follow your instinct instead.

Love is beautiful but also hard. It takes time and perseverance.

First Meeting (Spanche and Brock oneshot)

"Can you believe we've been assigned teams?" Misty asked excitedly, stars in her eyes.

"This is gonna be great, a chance to prove myself!" Ash agreed, pumping his fist in the air.

"Pika!" His Pikachu chirped happily.

"It's really exciting, but I just can't wait to meet all the girls!" Brock said, a blush upon his face. Misty rolled her eyes and shrugged.

"Here we go again..." She mumbled.

Ash simply laughed. "We can meet girls after we battle trainers!" and with that, he took off running and laughing.

"So we're getting new trainers?" Henry asked Blanche, looking up at his leader with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes, word got out that Valor Mystic Instinct wanted more people to sign up and they heeded. I've accepted over 100 trainers this week." Blanche stated, looking over some paperwork.

"What about us?" Thomas looks to Spark, curious. Spark smiles and rubs his assistant's head. "I got over 200 trainers accepted! Not trying to brag, babe." Spark grinned at Blanche, who let out a small smile and rolled their eyes.

Elara looked at Candela, her eyes asking the question. Candela chuckles. "We got over 150 trainers signed up. We're good." Candela assures Elara, who smiles and nods.

"Hello!" A voice calls as the door opens. "We're here to meet the leaders of Valor Mystic instinct?"

"Oh, we've got company!" Spark grins. "Thomas, stay here and finish some paperwork up please!" Thomas nods and heeds his leader's words.

"Henry, I'll be back, you do the same." Blanche says, standing up.

"Elara, you know the drill." Candela says, walking out with her best friends and coleaders.

The trio walks out and sees three trainers, they smile.

"Hi!" Candela chirps.

"Can we help you?" Blanche asks.

Brock freezes as the background between the two turns pink and bubbly. His face is burning and hearts are in his eyes.

"YOU TWO ARE THE PRETTIEST WOMEN I'VE EVER SEEN!" Brock kneels and takes both their hands. "Please, what are your names?!"

"Brock!" Ash and Misty yelped, not believing he just did that.

Candela jerks her hand away, out of surprise. Blanche, however, froze out of anxiety of being touched so suddenly. They looked to Spark, their green eyes begging for their boyfriend's help.

Spark was furious. He wanted nothing more than to strike the teen with his powers and burn him to ashes. Instead, he forced a smile, walked over and ripped Brock's hand away from Blanche.

"My partner is nonbinary, they prefer the pronouns they/them. Also, Candela is aromantic and doesn't want any romantic relationships. Don't ever touch them again."

Brock jumps back about ten feet. The blonde's tone sounded friendly but he could hear the growing fury under it. "I-I-I understand! Please forgive me!" He bowed in apology.

Spark wrapped a comforting, firm arm around Blanche as they clung to him. They thanked him silently by nuzzling their face into his shoulder.

"A-Anyway, do you know what teams you're in?" Candela said, glad she had her gloves on to protect her hands from Brock's touch.

"I'm with Team Valor, my name is Ash Ketchum!" Ash proclaimed proudly. This made Candela feel much better as she smiled. "Then you're with me, I'm your new leader Candela! Nice to meet you, Ash!"

"And I'm on Team Mystic, I'm Misty!" Misty smiled.

After composing themself and gently pulling away from Spark, Blanche nodded. "You're on my team then, I'm Blanche."

"And I'm Team Instinct, I'm Brock, nice to-" Brock cut himself short as he realized who's team he was on. A chill went up his spine and he started to shake as Spark let off a devilish grin.

"It's nice to meet you, Brock. You and I are going to have fun."

Fresh Squeeze, Ch. 5

Pairing: Daveed Diggs x OFC Linden Marshall

Set in 2023, post-pandemic

Warnings: Cursing, Angsty Angst, drug and alcohol use, surprise flights, Anthony Ramos. Lots of Plot.

Word Count: 3.5 K

Plot: Linden Marshall just finished law school at Columbia University in NYC. Daveed Diggs is still creating magic with his platonic life partner Rafael Casal in the form of their Blindspotting musical, Bay Boys. Linden’s boyfriend WAS Mark Monaco, star of the superhero movie series Invincible. They were together for years, and her trauma and his addictions were toxic. She knows now that wasn’t love.

A/N: Keep in mind that this the same AU as Arrivals, with Holly Woods, but is BEFORE Rafa and Holly get together. And don’t come for me about Anthony.

Read the Previous Chapter.

===================

NYC, May 2023

Jasmine was blowing up your phone as you were trying to get dressed. You had to search for it under the pile of clothes on your bed.

You had procrastinated getting ready, trying to finish one of your applications for a summer internship at this law firm in Harlem that you were excited about.

You wanted to finally relax after finishing Columbia law in the top 10% of your class. You just wanted to relax and enjoy this weekend.

Craig, your mom and your uncle were the only ones to attend your graduation. They knew you didn’t want any fanfare, so your famous friends didn’t attend, and they had a show to do, but they’d sent you tons of well wishes.

We're coming up, get decent!

You chuckled and shook your head. Anthony usually raided the refrigerator when he came over. This time, you told him to bring his own snacks..

You slipped on what you were wearing for the night. Craig was in his room getting ready and you had volunteered his place, so you were playing hostess. You were surprised that he was so chill about it, actually.

“Pika Pika,” you said to yourself in the mirror then ran to answer the doorbell. It was almost 6 pm.

You opened the door for Cookie Monster and Big Bird. You burst out laughing. But you stopped when you saw Anthony's face. He had like five bags from Whole Foods that he was juggling in his blue arms.

"Jazzy!!!! There's my girl. Hey Ant! leave the food and your girl. We may run off together."

Anthony came in the door loaded down with bags and kissed you on the cheek.

“I love you Lindy, but fuck you man.” You punched him on the shoulder.

“Ow! Time to get this party started!”

Linden heard Jazzy’s Brooklyn accent turn into a London lilt as she started play fighting with Ant. They felt like family at this point.

=================

Ever since the launch party in January, Jasmine had pursued you as a friend persistently. You normally didn’t let anyone in because of the circumstances of your life, but Jas was oblivious to your awkwardness with normal human beings.

“Girl, you are fucking DOPE, and you are NOT gonna deny my love. I know your life has been a trip, and you don’t have to tell me all of it, but I’m not gonna let you shrivel up and be a little retiring wallflower. Life is to be lived.”

Jasmine telling you that during a Saturday brunch date in February was the key to your heart. She drew you out, and you didn’t see what value you added to her life.

But she loved you anyway. And you loved her, and of course, Anthony was part of the package.

He was beautiful, loud, talented, and reckless, but he reminded you too fucking much of Dell to be annoyed with him very long.

Your circle had certainly widened from just Craig. That was one thing for which you could thank Mark. You were working on him being a distant memory. He hadn’t lasted too long in Bay Boys, quitting soon after the musical opened in March.

Daveed’s hands and feet had ‘slipped’ one too many times during the scene when he was stomping his ass on stage. Mark cited health reasons, and publicly spiraled a bit. He was currently in rehab.

Again.

You had not heard from him and that was absolutely fine with you.

Because Jasmine was in Bay Boys and that was her life, the cast and crew became yours as well. Rafael was the type of chaotic creative genius that fascinated you; you could listen to him talk for hours.

Things with Daveed were more tricky. Ever since that awkwardness with him after the launch party, you’d kept your distance, but you hung out a lot, so you were trying to be friends.

When you and Jas and Ant and Rafa hung out and talked, Daveed was there, smiling shyly and sneaking glances at you, throwing in pearls of wisdom every so often.

He was so dope and so talented and intelligent and so freaking hot, but you were trying to get yourself together. You were convinced that night in January had been a mistake.

You needed some space. And time. Law school was no joke, and you were in therapy so entanglements was not what was up.

Daveed sensed your hesitancy and decided to stop pursuing you. But he couldn’t stop how he felt.

You were both a little wasted and keyed up the night of the launch party, and despite the way you were beautiful and intelligent and sexy as fucking hell, he was not going to press you.

Daveed was sure that you two could be something special if you would give it a chance, but he didn’t want to chase you, but he was so gone for you, that if you just nodded your head at him, he would be at your feet.

The attraction was undeniable. There was a crazy little dance you two did that everyone recognized and respected. This group seemed to know you were fragile, and that you didn’t need to be pushed too far.

But the more they persisted, the more you came out of your shell. The more you trusted, the more the old Lindy came back.

Craig noticed first soon after you started hanging with the crew when you were trying to find a place to live. He went to one showing with you and sat you down for a talk.

“Girl, I love the light in your eyes. I haven’t seen this Lindy since…well in a long time. Stay with me for as long as you want. I know you need to get through this last semester of school, you don’t need one more thing to think about. I’m proud of the work that you’re doing on yourself, Linden.”

You were grateful to Craig. His place on the Upper West Side was super convenient to Columbia, and not having to think about finding a place was so clutch. Third year was kicking your ass.

“Besides, I wouldn’t have this place if it wasn’t for…”

“Hush, I don’t want to hear that. Dell would have wanted this. I love you cuzzo.”

=================

Craig came out in a Sully onesie and immediately dragged Jasmine into a conversation about the Met Gala that had happened a few days ago.

You approached the kitchen where Ant stood, food all around him on the counter. You were whispering. He smiled a secret smile at you.

“I’m so proud of you doing this for Jasmine. It’s good for you all to get away. I’m glad that she got a little break. She deserves it all.”

Anthony had arranged for this little get together to be a surprise for Jasmine. This was going to be a kickback weekend.

The show was on a four day hiatus while the set was moved to a bigger theatre. It was a hit and was destined for a long run.

Ant’s green eyes lit up as you kept talking about Jasmine.

“Yeah, she does. And the woman of the hour deserves all the happiness in the world.” He lifted his beer to you.

They way he said that was weird and you were about to ask him what was up with that when the doorbell started ringing, you went to answer it and were stuck there for a few minutes as people started coming in.

The food and the drinks were flowing while all kinds of characters came in.

Now they also had Jack Skellingtom, and a Care Bear in the house to add to Big bird, Cookie Monster, Pikachu and Sully. It was an odd cast of characters who were jamming to 90's rap, eating chicken wings and basically tripping like only friends could do.

Then there was Toni, some tag-along chick who showed up with Rafa. She had on a plain gray onesie. What a downer.

You’d pegged her for a star fucker who only hung with Rafa because of who he and his friends were. The girl was too much in everyone's business.

"Sooooo. You and Mark ARE broken up for real for real. The tabloids say y’all are back together! I told my friend Susie you weren’t, but she wouldn't believe me."

You just smiled and didn't confirm or deny, treating Toni like the paparazzi. The girl was oblivious to your hate and just kept talking.

Daveed rescued you.

"Hey, Toni, show these folks how you can blow. They're setting up the karaoke machine over there. Show us what you're working with. Someone might hook you up with a gig."

Toni perked up and hurried over to Anthony and Craig, who were setting up the lyrics on the big screen to match the karaoke music. Some Bad Boy joints were up.

Rafa was behind them screaming, "Dylan, Dylan, Dylan!"

They were a scene. You breathed and relaxed a little.

"Don't stress. She's not coming with us to the island."

You looked up at the tall, fine Grumpy Care Bear who was nursing some of your special 18-year-old Chivas Regal that you had gotten for graduation. His beautiful smile shined out of his brown face and beneath the curls tumbling out of his hood.

“I’m not pressed. I’m chilling. You can do what you want. With who you want.”

“She’s not with me. Rafa brought her for the ride to the airport. And it’s not entirely true that I can do what I want. With who I want. Because what if who I want to do doesn’t want to do me?”

You knew what he meant. But you eyed his drink instead of looking at him. It wasn’t that you didn’t want him. That was far from the truth. You didn’t want to get lost in him. And you could see that happening.

Daveed saw your wheels turning. You were over analyzing again. He’d spent three months observing you every chance he got. He felt like he knew your anxieties. So fucking smart, but here you were thinking too much.

"Hey Genuis Ass. Want some?" Daveed’s voice was softer as he grinned and offered you some of his drink. “Or, I could go make you something?” For some reason he wanted you to get loose.

"Nah, I'm good Diggs.” For some reason you needed to stay in control. You played it off by changing the subject.

“I still can’t believe y’all call me that.”

Daveed just smiled and nodded, chuckling a little. He craned his neck and looked at it, having to dodge a smack upside the head.

“That ass is genius, you know. That’s the one thing He Who Shall Not Be Named was right about. And you’re one of the smartest humans I know.”

You had to look at him then. The flecks of gold in his eyes tho. But you could tell from the slight redness that he was a little zooted. He didn’t get that way around you a lot, but you knew for the stories that he partied occasionally.

He and Rafa and that Toni chick must have pre-gamed. You remembered the last time you two were tipsy together.You cleared your throat and looked away.

“Why did you lie to that girl? She can’t sing.” You were shaking your head, scowling at Toni’s screeching from the karaoke machine.

He winked at you. D was well on his way to getting LIT.

"What? She can blow.” Daveed sipped his drink and watched her.

“She’ll suck your soul out and spit it back in your mouth." Daveed was loose. And so was his mouth. But he didn’t care.

Your mouth was hanging open at Daveed as you wondered what Daveed had done with Toni, what Daveed AND Rafa had done with Toni...

Shit, you were just going to ask.

"How do you know that she..."

"AWWWW SHEEEIIIITTT! THAT'S MY JAM! REMEMBER THIS LINDY??"

“No, I was like, negative 5..”

You raised your voice as he traveled away from you, smiling. He was not slick.

“Well you missed out being tardy to the party…”

He was backing toward the mic, knocking it out of Anthony’s hand and starting the rap. Rafa joined him, trading verses.

Now as the record spins around, you recognize this sound,

Well, it's the underground,

You know that we're down with wutchyalike

Yeah, with wutchyalike, yeah

And though we're usually on the serious tip, check it out:

Tonight we're gonna flip and trip and let it all hang out tonight,

We're gonna say what we like.

'Cause, yo, yo, we want to know how many people in the flow,

Would like to just let yourselves go

And doowutchyalike,

Yeah, well tonight's your night.

Just eat food, try not to be crude or rude,

Kill the attitude, chill the serious mood,

And doowutchyalike,

Yeah, and doowutchyalike,

Everybody doowutchyalike

Everyone was dancing and Daveed had effectively deflected your question. But you would never forget.

By 8 o’clock, Craig grabbed the mic and motioned for Jasmine to come with him. You had enjoyed some cocktails finally, and just figured they were going to duet Wind Beneath My Wings just like they always did.

You were actually moving to the music and feeling good.

"Ok guys, whew. I'm hot. Is it hot in herrrre?" Craig was fanning himself.

“Whoooo! Nelly!”

You yelled and everyone laughed.

Craig took his hood off and started to unzip his onesie. Jasmine did the same.

You kept dancing nervously, not realizing it, looking around at the others who were also disrobing. You did a double take as D’s abs came into view. What was going on?

Craig continued.

"Lindy, I just need a minute to talk, can you stop whatever it is you're doing?" He grinned at you from across the room. "You're still moving Lindy."

You blushed and stopped fidgeting.

"Ummm, Craig, what the..."

One by one people dropped their onesies, all except Toni, who had no clue what was going on. Soon, everyone was standing in Craig’s condo in their swimsuits, looking fine as hell.

You just looked around, then in your cup wondering if you were too drunk and hallucinating.

“Lindy, you’ve worked real hard, and this past few months have been crazy, so we wanted to do something special for you this weekend, for your graduation, and for your birthday, WHICH IS SUNDAY!!”

Everyone cheered as Jasmine took the mic. “You think this party is for me. Well the joke’s on you bitch, because you have been hosting your own party!”

You opened your mouth, squeaked a little, then spoke,

"But why?.. Everybody? But what..."

Daveed moved close.

"Damn, you fine," you whispered.

Your hand flew to your mouth when he smirked in response. Everyone was rolling because turns out, you didn’t whisper.

Daveed cleared his throat. "Thank you. You’re fine yaseif. Anyway, Anthony and Jasmine have a house there, and we’re flying out of JFK tonight. In about two and a half hours in fact. So we gotta get going.”

You still had only a part of a clue of what was going on. But you couldn't resist all of this.

"Okay? But... I don't have any clothes. And I don’t have a ticket..."

Craig came from the storage room off the kitchen with one of your suitcases. Others started getting their bags as well

"Everybody's shit has been in my house for a week. And girl, you know I got your information. It ain’t nothing but a thang. Your ticket is ready and waiting. Just sent it to your email.”

Your mouth dropped open and you stared at Craig as everyone pulled their onesies back up and got their bags together.

Your eyes filled with tears that you hurriedly brushed away. Craig came over and hugged you. Then every else joined in for a group hug.

"You deserve, Lindy. Let us celebrate you."

You looked like you didn't quite believe it, but you went along. You laughed, visibly deciding to go with the flow.

"I'm down!"

Toni was nearby. When the hug broke up, she started asking questions. Your patience was wearing thin.

"I don’t believe that all these people really roll like this. Y’all wild. Susie won that bet."

You just continued to look at this fool.

"But isn’t this dope? All these famous, successful men being so fearless with their love and appreciation for Black women, of all people. Who woulda thunk they didn't want white women?"

Toni just kept saying the wrong thing. It was the "of all people" for you.

You stared daggers at your houseguest. Toni caught the look.

"Wait, are you mixed?"

You narrowed your eyes and said, "Black mixed with Black."

Toni clutched her pearls.

"Oh wow. Didn't mean to offend. I just mean everyone knows Jasmine is mixed, with her dad and all, as black as can be. But her white British mom saved her from his skin tone. I mean, she has braids in now, so you can see it, but all she has to do is blow her hair straight and she can pass..."

Toni jumped when Rafa spoke. She didn't know he was there.

"Toni. Not Jas. She's the homie."

The look in his ice blue eyes could burn.

"And you are a Black woman, so you know how dope they are. Why would anyone NOT worship at your feet?"

Lindy just sipped her drink as Craig entered the chat. "Amen!"

"Maybe it is time for you to get going, honey. I might call you when I get back."

Rafa led Toni to the door as she protested.

"But I was going to take you to the air..."

"And I APPRECIATE you Black woman, but we'll get there. See you later."

Then Rafa shut the door in her face. Linden discovered she loved him eternally at that moment. She was rolling.

No one mourned Toni’s departure as arrangements were made for cars to take everyone to the airport.

"You and Daveed can ride with us, Rafa." Ant to the rescue.

"Yeah, Jasmine loves to look at my profile." Jas pinched him so hard he jumped.

“Fuck!”

Ant was screaming as he, Jasmine and Rafa went out the door.

"Peace! See you at airport security. If you get nabbed by TSA, you on your own!”

Daveed lingered. “I don’t know if all of us and our bags will fit in one car. Can I ride with you and Lindy, Craig?”

Craig smirked at Daveed, but didn’t say anything. “Of course...you good with that Lindy?”

You tried to keep it light.

“Sure.. no biggie,” you cleared your throat and headed to the bathroom to make sure you had everything you needed.

=================

By the time you got to your Uber, the traffic was horrible. It took over an hour to get to the airport. You felt both anxious about missing the flight and keyed up about sitting next to Daveed in the car.

His thigh and side pressing into yours in the dark in the back of an Uber Black brought back memories of that reckless night.

When he put his arm up on the seat behind you, “For more room,” he said, in that voice and flashing that megawatt smile, you were enveloped more into his scent and warmth. You had to control yourself not to melt into him.

Craig was sitting on his phone, sneaking glances at you and smirking the entire ride. He’d insisted that you be in the middle because you were so tiny.

The whole world was against you, you thought, as you and Daveed both stared straight ahead, both flashing back to that January night.

You were the last three people to run through the airline gate just at they were about to close it. All your friends in first class cheered when you took their seats, and Rafa popped a bottle of champagne.

"Talk about cutting it close," Ant commented as Rafa gave Daveed a high five.

Daveed looked at you. You shook your head at him. Somehow, you were sitting next to him. You just decided to let it be and have some time.

“Just make sure you don’t molest me under this blanket, Ms. Marshall,” Daveed intoned when you were settled and given amenities for the night.

The flight attendant had to tell y’all to keep quiet as the cat calls went up.

Welp, you thought. This will be the vibe the entire weekend.

You weren’t mad at it. You loved these people. And you were safe. You just smiled, settled down, and looked out of the window to watch the lights of New York fade away.
