[ursifors]

jeremy is trying out a new stream layout the last few days and so many ppl in the discord were complaining about it but i rly like it and have been wanting him to make his layout similar for like. 2 years. so i'm happy LOL.

[chukeis]

The quiet hum of Kei’s apartment always made Yn feel at ease. She lounged on the couch, her feet tucked beneath her, lazily scrolling through Kei’s phone. He didn’t mind he never had. They were open with each other like that. She would often scroll through his camera roll, teasing him about random pictures he’d taken everything from sunsets to candid shots of her that she didn’t even know existed.

Kei was at his desk, typing something on his laptop, completely absorbed in his work. Yn giggled to herself as she came across a series of goofy selfies he’d taken while she wasn’t looking. She made a mental note to tease him about them later.

But then she stumbled upon those pictures. Her fingers froze.

They were pictures of them intimate, raw, moments that were meant to stay between the sheets and their memories. They’d taken them during one of their more passionate nights together, just for fun, a playful exchange at the time. Yn had completely forgotten about them, assuming Kei had deleted them after their little joke.

But here they were, still saved on his phone.

“Kei?” Yn’s voice was a mix of surprise and slight panic. “You still have these?”

“Hmm?” Kei didn’t even look up from his laptop, too engrossed in whatever he was typing.

Yn held up his phone, waving it in his direction. “The photos. You know, those photos. The ones we took a while back?”

He finally glanced over, raising an eyebrow. “Yeah. Why?”

Her eyes widened, and she stared at him like he’d lost his mind. “What do you mean, why? Why haven’t you deleted them yet? What if they accidentally spread or someone saw them?”

Kei chuckled softly, leaning back in his chair. “Relax. They’re not going anywhere. It’s not like I’m sharing them around.”

“Still,” Yn pressed, her voice rising slightly. “It’s risky. What if someone gets a hold of your phone? You can’t just keep those kind of pictures lying around!”

Kei leaned forward, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. “Nah, I like having them around.” He paused for dramatic effect, his eyes gleaming with amusement. “I still use them sometimes, you know… when you’re not here.”

Yn’s face immediately flushed, and she smacked his arm with the nearest pillow. “Kei!”

He laughed, his deep voice filling the room. “What? It’s true. You’re not always around, and I’ve got to… handle things on my own sometimes.”

“You’re disgusting!” she squealed, covering her face with her hands, but she couldn’t hide the small smile tugging at the corners of her lips. As much as she wanted to be mad, Kei’s nonchalant honesty and teasing always managed to disarm her.

“Disgusting, huh?” Kei smirked, standing up and walking over to her. He plucked his phone from her hand with ease, sitting down beside her. “You didn’t seem to think that when we were taking those photos.”

Yn narrowed her eyes at him, her face still flushed. “That’s different! We were in the moment, and I thought you’d delete them after.”

“Why would I do that?” Kei said with a playful shrug. “I like having a reminder of how lucky I am. Plus, I kind of want to show people who you belong to. It’d save me the trouble of explaining.”

Yn’s jaw dropped in mock horror. “You wouldn’t dare.”

He grinned, enjoying the reaction. “Maybe I would.”

Before he could say another word, Yn swung the pillow at him again, hitting him square in the chest. “Kei! That’s so gross!” she laughed, though her heart fluttered a little at the thought of Kei’s possessive side coming out in such a teasing way.

He chuckled, catching the pillow mid-swing and pulling her close. “I’m kidding, Yn. I’d never share them. They’re just for me. Just for us.” His tone shifted slightly, a hint of sincerity breaking through the playful façade.

Yn looked up at him, her mock anger fading as she saw the serious look in his eyes. “You better not, Tsukki,” she said softly, using his nickname to let him know she was only half-serious. “But seriously, you should probably delete them. I mean, for safety.”

Kei sighed dramatically, leaning his head back against the couch. “Fine, fine. I’ll delete them. But I’m keeping at least one. For… personal use.” He gave her a cheeky smile, and she couldn’t help but laugh.

“You’re impossible,” she muttered, resting her head on his shoulder.

“And yet, you love me,” Kei teased, wrapping an arm around her and pulling her closer.

Yn rolled her eyes but didn’t deny it, leaning into him with a content sigh. “Yeah, yeah. Just don’t let me catch you looking at those again, or you’re in for another pillow to the face.”

Kei grinned. “Deal.

(Thanks for reading lmaooooo) 😭

Took a shot at drawing the Stardew Valley bachelorettes!

Maybe I’ll do the bachelors, I’m not as confident with drawing guys though. I definitely have ideas for some of them…

Edit: I did it

Individual pics and thought process under the cut:

Made penny’s outfit a bit more teacher-like and gave her a big comfy cardigan because the girl needs something nice. Tried to make her a bit chunky to match what I imagine Pam’s body type would be, but she’s honestly so swallowed by the sweater her chub doesn’t really show through lol.

Probably wins for biggest change from canon, but she was my first spouse so she deserved something special, and the idea of hot pink bell bottom jeans was too good to pass up. Also added a bag for her camera, she may be a fashionista but she’s still practical.

Short queen.

Overall I just tried to make her look more like an inventor. So things like the motor oil stains and capped boots for safety, plus ample pockets for bolts and wires. Oh and I gave her more textured hair, though I tried to keep the overall square shape language it had originally.

Also her and Sebby both have dimples from Robin.

Probably the design Im least satisfied with. I knew I wanted Leah to be more butch from the start, but I do thing it strayed a bit far from her characterization, especially with her loved gifts suggesting she has a more lavish taste.

Gave her some gray streaks, implying that she got a bit worn down from city life. I also gave her a tattoo, I thought it fit her living in the city. I imagine a heart event would have her cover it up with something more naturey and personal.

My second wife! This one is pretty consistent with other designs I’ve seen, though I think I still added my own spin to it.

I personally don’t believe the wizard theory, so I made her natural hair match Pierre’s.

Also the scar isn’t from anything cool, I like to think she just tripped as a baby. But she’ll tell a different crazy story anytime someone asks.

I love how different the depictions of Emily are, I’ve seen them range from graceful crystal goddess to full on manic pixie dream girl. Obviously my version is closer to the latter, though I tried to balance that out with a sense of maturity, given her job as a bartender. I love her being a giant string bean, like she’s bent over in the pose so she doesn’t look too much taller than the others, but I imagine she’s like 6’ 1”. Also she has a gem bracelet, to symbolize all the rocks I gifted her.

Jensen was irritable. That much was obvious from the Goddamn moon. In fact, irritable was too polite a word for what he was. His ruts were no joke since he hit forty, knowing that his biology dictated he should’ve settled with a mate long before now. The problem was work always got in the way.

If it wasn’t sixteen hour filming days, it was every other weekend at conventions. If it wasn’t conventions, it was catching up on sleep; if it wasn’t sleep, it was an awards show, corporate event, or some other function he was obligated by contract to attend.

Jared had been lucky in finding his true mate on set, and Jensen always hoped the same fate might come to him, but so far, twelve seasons into the show, it hadn’t happened and his hope was starting to wain.

He couldn’t deny that he wanted what all his family and friends had. He was lonely—not that he liked to admit that out loud to many people. All that would achieve is a sudden string of blind dates that always ended in disaster.

The alarm on his phone went off with the reminder to buy a present for his nephew’s birthday, and when he registered the date, he frowned. Quickly, Jensen ran through the math in his head, and his frown deepened. He wasn’t due a rut for another week.

Then why was he so on edge?

“Mr. Ackles? They need you on set in five.” One of the PAs, Riley, he thinks, shouts through his trailer door.

“Alright, thanks,” Jensen calls back, trying to put it to the back of his mind for now. He had a job to do, and if Jensen was anything, he was a professional. He would never let personal issues bleed into his professional life.

Plus, they had a very important guest star for the next couple of months. Y/N Y/L/N had signed on for an eight-episode story arc, and everyone was excited. She was the most popular actress the network had ever had on their books. She was making waves in the acting world, and everyone knew it was only a matter of time before she moved to a bigger network or the big screen and began cashing in on prestigious award wins.

Not only that, but Jensen had a massive crush on the beautiful omega, and Dean would be having a really good time with her sassy, sexy character for the duration of her time here. He knew it was unlikely that she’d be his true mate, but maybe, if he played his cards right, she’d at least go on a date with him, and things might work out for them. Plenty of couples he knew weren’t true mates and life was great for them.

“Can you smell that?” Y/N asked no one in particular in the hair and makeup trailer.

“Smell what?” Jared asked from the hair chair.

“Leather, and…” she turned her head and sniffed again. “Sandalwood. Mmm, whiskey.” She felt her cheeks heat up and a tingle in her belly that wasn’t wholly unfamiliar to her; neither was the scent she was detecting. It smelled like home. “Spearmint, too?”

Jared smirked through the mirror at Frida, the hair lady, and Y/N caught the grin on the makeup lady, Tanya’s, face. “What?” she asked. Tanya just shook her head, her grin getting wider.

“Come on, Tanya! There’s something you’re not telling me! What is it?” she whined and pouted playfully.

“Jeez, don’t give me that look!” Tanya laughed. “Damn it! Or those eyes!” she stepped away, laughing harder, when Y/N pulled out the big guns. “You know, Jared, Y/N’s puppy eyes are better than yours!”

Jared laughed and mumbled something that sounded a lot like: “Jensen’s gonna be in so much trouble!” as he looked over at the confused omega, who was still subtly sniffing the air with an adorable frown on her face.

“Is it getting hotter in here?” Y/N suddenly exclaimed. “My God, it’s hot,” she fanned herself with her script, feeling the heat rise from her toes upwards as if she’d just sat in a tub filled with water that was too hot. “Can we open the door or something?”

“Sure, I got it,” Frida said as she left Jared in the hair chair and opened the door to the trailer. “Jensen!” she gasped as she opened the door and saw the green-eyed actor reaching for the handle. “You scared me!” she giggled and stepped back, allowing the tall alpha to enter the trailer.

As soon as Jensen stepped inside, he stopped short, his green eyes blown wide and pupils dilating at the sight of his famous crush sitting in what was usually his makeup chair. She looked beautiful with her big doe eyes as wide as his and her hands fidgeting in her lap.

“Omega,” Jensen purred, momentarily shocked at how pathetic he sounded. Certainly not like the big, strong alpha he wanted to be for her, that’s for sure.

“Alpha,” Y/N whimpered in response, bowing her head as a sign of her submission to him.

Jensen stepped out of his trailer and took a deep breath of fresh air, frowning at the scent he caught on the wind. It smelled like home. Like The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden in the springtime, to be exact. Cherry blossom, lilac and honeysuckle all mixed in with a hint of lavender, making his mouth water. But that was impossible. Except for the lavender, those flowers only appeared in the spring or early summer. It was October.

He didn’t think they’d have flowers on set for any reason, but he supposed that didn’t mean someone didn’t get sent a bouquet or something. The smell of lilac was unmistakable to him; his mom had a huge lilac bush in her backyard, and he’d grown up with it. He’d know that smell a mile off.

Shaking his head to rid himself of thoughts of home, he continued towards the set. He was really excited to work with Y/N, and he hoped she was as sweet and kind as he’d always heard she was. Nothing was worse than having professional respect for someone, meeting them, and finding their personality or attitude lacking.

Jensen spotted Rich across the lot and walked towards him to welcome him. The kind beta was directing again, and Jensen wanted to greet him properly and make sure he knew where to go if he needed anything. Not that Rich needed the reminder, but Jensen was nothing if he wasn’t a gentleman.

“Hey man, good to see you again,” Jensen said as he greeted Rich with a hug.

“Looking good, Jensen. How are you doing?” Rich asked.

“Ah, you know,” Jensen said simply. Rich was one of the few people who knew how desperate he was to find a mate, settle down and have a few pups of his own instead of always being the fun uncle.

“She’s out there, Jay. And I have a feeling she’s closer than you think!” he smirked.

“Ha!” Jensen scoffed. “You sound like Jared! He’s convinced Y/N’ll turn out to be my true mate!” he chuckled.

“Hey, I get why he thinks that! I remember all those nights in your trailer or apartment, and if you saw her on screen, you just froze and stared at her until she was off camera again!” Rich laughed heartily.

“Well, she’s incredibly beautiful. And I’m no worse with her than when you see Scarlett Johansson or Jared was with Nina Dobrev!” Jensen laughed.

“True, but your eyes glaze over, and you get this stupid smile, and…” Rich trailed off at his friend’s head tilt and look of sheer concentration.

“Can you smell that?” Jensen asked.

“Smell what?” Rich asked.

“It’s like a spring garden or something. I smelled it earlier and can’t get it out of–” Jensen whipped his head around and began stalking towards the hair and makeup trailer. Rich followed him, staying a safe distance behind the prowling alpha.

The alpha stopped in front of the trailer door and sniffed, purring low in his throat at finally finding its source. Just as he raised his hand to pull on the handle, the door whipped open, and his senses were assaulted with the most delicious and delicate scent he’d witnessed in his whole life.

Jensen stepped into the trailer, his gaze fixed on his celebrity crush, and felt the air being sucked from him as her Y/E/C eyes met his green ones, wide and submissive. “Omega,” Jensen purred, momentarily shocked at how pathetic he sounded. Certainly not like the big, strong alpha he wanted to be for her, that’s for sure.

“Alpha,” Y/N whimpered in response, bowing her head as a sign of her submission to him.

“I think that’s our cue to leave,” Jared grinned, raising his hands at the older alpha, showing he was no threat to them. The two women showed the same respect to Y/N, raising their hands as they left the trailer.

“I think Jay just found his true mate!” Jared grinned, pulling Rich into a hug.

“He’s gonna absolutely hate that you were right. I hope you know that!” Rich smirked.

“Hell yeah! And I’m never gonna let him forget it!”

Rich chuckled as he pulled the walkie from his belt. “We got a code 143; I repeat, a code 143 is in progress. All filming is suspended until further notice. Ladies and gentlemen, Jensen Ackles has met his true mate in none other than Y/N Y/L/N. Over and out,” Rich spoke through the device and smiled, high-fiving Jared when they heard the cheers erupt from all over the lot.

“Alright, I’ll start with the phone calls. Have you got the numbers for Y/N’s family? I’ll let them know she’ll be off grid for a few days at least,” Jared asked Rich, who handed him a sheet of paper with her emergency contacts listed.

“I’ll get some betas to keep the parameter clear from here back to his trailer. The last thing we need is another alpha getting too close to Y/N. Or an omega to Jensen, for that matter. Then I better call the Network and let them know their golden boy and girl are officially off the market!” Rich chuckled.

“They’re gonna love that!” Jared laughed.

It’d been suggested to Jensen before by numerous executives that he and Y/N should meet and see if there was a spark, but Jensen was stubborn and said if they were meant to meet, it’d happen naturally. Apparently, so was Y/N. They’d heard a few times that it was the same response she gave them whenever they asked her about it.

Once the door was closed, Jensen stepped towards her and kneeled at her feet. “Do you want this, Y/N? Want me?” he asked shyly. Yes, they were true mates, but he had a few years on her, and she might not want to settle with an older man. She might not want to settle at all. Being in the prime of her career might mean she wasn’t ready to start a family yet.

“Yes, Jensen. I want this… want you, Alpha,” she purred, placing her hand on his cheek and smiling softly. The gasp of pained relief from the big, strong alpha broke her heart, and she wondered if he’d been let down as many times as she had in the past or if it was more.

“Can I… uh… can I scent you, Omega, please?” Jensen asked quietly, and Y/N giggled at his cuteness. She’d always hoped she’d have an alpha with a softer side, and it seemed like she got one.

“Yes, Alpha. I’m yours now,” she said softly.

“Not quite,” his fingers rubbed softly over her mating gland. “But I intend for you to be mine very soon,” he smiled softly before slowly leaning forward and nuzzling his nose into her neck. His hot breath against her sensitive skin made Y/N shiver, and her body erupted in goosebumps. The intimacy of the gesture was overwhelming, and she felt tears sting in her eyes.

Jensen whined as he got in closer and breathed her in. “You smell so good, Omega. And so beautiful,” he whispered to her, gently placing his hand on the back of her neck and pulling her closer still. Y/N tilted her head and rested her cheek on his shoulder, nuzzling her nose into his mating gland, her neck still open, and began to scent him in return.

Within seconds, an overwhelming sense of tranquillity and contentment at being exactly where he needed to be rushed over him, and he had no idea if it was coming from him, her or both of them. And it was the most elating feeling in the world.

“Sweetheart, I could sit her for hours and do this,” Jensen whispered, placing the softest of kisses on her neck between each word he spoke. “But I wanna take you somewhere more private if you’ll let me.”

“Okay,” Y/N answered, a whine escaping her throat as soon as he pulled away from her. Jensen chuckled at her pout, stood, held his hand out for her to take, and pulled her protectively into his side when she was on her feet.

“What hotel are you staying in?” Jensen asked.

“I’m not. I’m staying with a friend. Her apartment is just outside the city,” Y/N responded.

“My place is closer. Is that okay with you? I’d rather we have complete privacy, but if it would make you feel better, we can go to my trailer or the place you’re staying,” Jensen spoke softly.

“Let’s go to your place, Alpha,” she beamed brightly, chuckling when Jensen purred in approval of her answer.

Stepping out of the trailer, Jensen pulled Y/N into his body and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. The omega responded instantly, winding her arm around his waist and moving as close to him as their bodies allowed. The alpha smirked and puffed his chest with pride at hearing the wolf whistles from the crew, who’d gathered to wish the new couple well.

Jensen noticed his driver standing next to an SUV and headed straight towards him, determined to get them out of there as quickly as possible. He’d waited long enough for her and didn’t want to wait any longer. 

Helping Y/N into the car, Jensen quickly moved to the other side and climbed in beside her. He’d barely sat down when the omega slid over to his side and cosied up to him, burying her nose in his neck and scenting him contentedly. He purred, happy to finally have his omega in his arms, scenting her hair, allowing her aroma to mingle and settle in with his own, binding them together in a bond that would become unbreakable the instant he claimed her, which Jensen had every intention of doing before the sun came up.

“Forever starts now, Omega. You ready for it?” Jensen murmured into Y/N’s hair.

“I’ve never been more ready, Alpha.”

•.SHIGARAKI’S SEXTAPE.•

PART 2

Notes: Sorry this genuinely took so long I kept getting mad. I didn’t expect this much plot but yeah. Probably might write a third part if I’m up to it.

WARNINGS: NONCON, SEMI-SOMNOPHILIA, ANGST IG??, CRYING, MENTIONS OF SEX, MENTIONS OF INJURY, MENTIONS OF PREGNANCY, NOT BETA READ, NOT PROOF READ, IDK WHAT ELSE

“Cmon, you can do more then that.”

“I-I’m trying!-”

“You got this Miss Y/N!!”

“Don’t let him beat you!”

A whine escapes your lips before you fall limp to the floor, your muscles screaming at you. You were never good at pull ups. Everyone collectively groans before Aizawa came up to you.

“Don’t beat yourself up about it. Your body just isn’t used to this much pressure. Here-“ He brings out a small towel for you before patting your face dry. “-Plus, you had the babies not too long ago.”

You sigh heavily as you rise to your feet. It’d been a few months since the birth of the babies. Luckily you delivered with no issues and so far had no problems. People still talked about what went down with you and Shigaraki but it didn’t faze you. Why would it? He was yours, and you were thankful you were even his. No matter how much the Heroes wanted to say you developed Stockholm syndrome you knew it wasn’t true.

Your love stood for Shigaraki before he even held you ‘captive’. Hell! before he even knew you existed as a person. And it only grew stronger as he’d send you notes with little gifts for the babies. They tried hard to make his notes stop, afraid it’d only damage you deeper, but it never worked. Shigaraki always found a way. The letters varied with small ‘I love you’s’ and little ‘I miss you’s’.

The people it’d piss off the most was usually the students of Aizawa and himself of course. They’d seen how the league acted first hand themselves so seeing how these notes made you giddy had their blood boiling. You didn’t deserve this. You deserved to love normally! A normal life without cameras in your face every second. Speaking of cameras, paparazzi was never EVER going to let Shigaraki’s Sextape be forgotten.

They never fail to mention it when the heroes decide to take you out to a shopping square. Asking lewd questions to your face with no morals and such. You always have to be whisked away and taken back to your home, left all locked up and alone. Ironic you thought. You’d think you would get more freedom to do things by yourself after the situation died down a little but it was the complete opposite! You had more freedom being cooped up in the base with Shigaraki! A strict diet, sleep schedule, AND workout was implemented on you.

Something about maintaining a ‘healthy’ lifestyle? Screw that! You want to go back to ordering cheap ass pizza in the dingy bar and just stuffing your face on the couch in nothing but panties and Shigaraki’s shirt. It wasn’t all too bad though. You definitely didn’t mind the workout part too much. The idea of having an ‘unappealing’ body sent shivers down your spin. What if Shigaraki stopped liking you if he saw your mom bod?

That’s what pushed you to run the extra mile when All Might had you running a track with him, that’s what made you do another push up with Endeavor with his screaming in your ear, and it’s especially what pushed you to continue doing pull ups with Aizawa. And it worked. Your body somewhat returned to what it looked like before pregnancy, except your larger breast and thighs. The whole pregnancy you were fed foods full of protein by everyone. Practically fattening you up as if you’d never eat again. With a cough you start walking to the locker room, itching to change out the sweaty clothes.

They never followed in which you thought weird. Why do they follow you every BUT the locker room? Eh, you weren’t complaining. If they wanted to give you the space you so badly craved for once then you weren’t gonna ask questions. Removing all the sweat soaked clothes and replacing it with a clean pair of bell bottoms and black long sleeve, you shoved it in the gym bag to be washed later. As you shut the locker a envelope flew.

That’s weird?.. picking it up you instantly recognized the paper material. It was Shigaraki! Almost immediately you ripped into the paper and scavenged the note out. Your eyes skimmed the letter with a smile plastered on your face. It had been far too long since you’d heard from him! It’s not like you could blame him though.

From what the news told you, he and the league have been very busy. That didn’t matter anymore though. He finally wrote back. You were more then eager to help! He said he and league are planning something but wouldn’t tell you what. That’s weird, did he not trust you enough? You thought he wanted your help on things!

“Y/N! You done or what?”

“O-oh! Uh coming!”

Quickly shoving the letter into your gym bag you fixed up your hair and put your sneakers on. Silently opening the door to the locker room you shuffled out quickly. It was a habit of yours to be silent, trying to get better at being more sneaky for when the time comes that you’d need to. It seems it worked a little too well. They haven’t noticed you yet. Which is why their conversation makes your blood boil.

“I just wonder when Y/N will forget about that pathetic loser and be able to live her life.”

“Bakugo! You can’t just say that! Obviously it’s frustrating seeing her so hung up on him but it’s normal for.. well yknow.. victims?.”

“Settle down the both of you. I understand it’s upsetting that Y/N’s life is turning out like this but you shouldn’t speak about it so freely. People will hear.”

You throw your gym bag down, the loud thud erupting through the gym. With a scowl and furrowed brows you cross your arms. They instantly all look to you with shock as you clicked your tongue.

“You guys should listen to your teacher. God forbid people hear how you talk about the victim.”

“Y/n-“

Putting your hand up all you can do is scoff.

“Save it alright? A little ol’ victim like me shouldn’t hear this stuff. Don’t you think?”

“Y/N! Time to go.”

Endeavor’s boasting voice echoes throughout the empty gym as he inches closer to the group. Grabbing your bag and brushing past them you begin walking with Endeavor. He could sense tension but he’s not one to ask questions. As sick as it sounds, you enjoyed Endeavor’s presence more than others. He didn’t pity you nor did he try to act sweet with you. Which is just what you wanted.

Walking to the car you were already flooded by paparazzi. All asking the same vulgar questions. You ignored it as Endeavor ushered you into the car and shut the door. He got in soon after before starting the journey back to your house. It was quiet, until you decided to speak up.

“Why do you treat me all normally.” He was silent. Perhaps he didn’t understand what you meant? “Yknow, you’re the only one who doesn’t treat me like glass.”

“That’s because you arent.”

His voice echoed throughout the car. You turn your head to him, a pout on your lips. It seems that’s the only face you’ve been able to conjure up lately. The car stops at a red light before he turns to you.

“If I treat you like something fragile you’ll never grow. Plus, you seem fed up with the others enough as is. And I still don’t trust you.”

Oh. Those words don’t catch you off guard like they should. You knew some people would be suspicious, not everyone can be so easily fooled by your sob story. You hum before looking out the window. The light turns green and the journey starts again.

“What is it you don’t trust? Is it me still being madly in love with Shigaraki?”

“Perhaps. Or, for someone who experienced something so terrifying and painful, you act as if it’s nothing.”

“Can’t blame me can you?”

A soft chuckle left your lips. At this point you were tired of acting. But you had a story to uphold. Not for you, but for Shigaraki. That’s who you needed to do this for. His praise and love was all you wanted. A good obedient spy for him will surely bring you the title you want so badly. To be his wife. His rock.

“No, I can’t. You’re messed up in the head. But it doesn’t mean I won’t be watching you.” The car comes to a soft stop, parking infront of your house. “Midnight should be in there with your kids. Have a good day Y/N.”

“Eh, I’ll try. Later Endeavor.”

From the sound of it, he hasn’t told anyone of his suspensions about you. You’d rather have it that way anyways. Your feet pressed against the gravel as you journeyed up the steps to your house. It was too damn big in your opinion. Keys jangled as you finally unlocked the door.

“I’m home!”

Midnight’s feet shuffled towards you before she grabbed ahold of your hands. Your breath hitched at the sudden action as she practically pulling you up the stairs.

“W-whoa! What are we doing?!”

“Cmon you have to pack!”

“P-pack?”

“Yeah! For the camping trip!” What the hell was she talking about. It seems she sensed your confusion as she pouted at you. “Did Aizawa not tell you? The students are going on this little training camp and they’re taking you along!”

“But why? I’m not gonna be a hero!”

“Ah they think it’d be the best place to push your limits! Get you stronger!”

Ah great. You could barely handle the workouts now what makes them think you could do whatever else they had in store! Shit. How were you gonna tell Shigaraki? You don’t even know where it is!

“W-well when is it?”

“Tomorrow!”

Double fucking shit! There’s no time to fucking notify anyone! Especially with Midnight by your side. God knows when she’d leave. Stall.

“But the babies!- I can’t-“

“We’re gonna watch them! Have some time to yourself and all! We have it handled Y/N.”

Triple.

Fucking.

Shit.

There were no pieces you could play. There was nothing you could do but just nod. She squeals before dragging you up the stairs once more. You’ll just have to write a detailed letter of everything they did for Shigaraki.

“Is that all?”

“I mean yeah. I packed active clothing, some shorts and t-shirts, oh and like 2 jackets in case I get cold.”

“Great!” Just then a door could be heard opening. Along with multiple voices talking. “Oh they’re here!”

“Wait what? Why-“

“They just came back from the mall! Let’s go see how things are gonna work! Like time wise.”

You carry your daughter close to you as you descend down the stairs. Midnight held your boys while she chatted with Aizawa. There Class 1-A was all splaying out their purchases. Some of them look up to you and all you can do is look away. Obviously your attitude towards them was still sour. It hurt, what they said.

“Y/N! Psst!” You turn to the hall to see Midoriya standing there. His hand was waving you over away from the others as you sighed. Walking over to him you frowned. “Look I know what Kacchan said hurt your feelings-“

“Oh wow really I didn’t think so.”

“My point is- I’m sorry.”

Your brows raised before you straightened up. Does he even need to apologize? If anything it should be the others.

“Today at the mall I saw Shigarak-“

“What!” You whisper yell before looking side to side. “What’d he say? Was it about me? Did he look okay?”

“He didn’t even mention you, Y/N.”

“Oh.”

“But he told me to watch my back. Basically threatened me.”

A hint of guilt crawled into your stomach while you frowned. Nothing about you? Did he not care as much as you thought he did? Midoriya reached into his pocket before pulling out a box. Opening it he revealed a bracelet and necklace.

“Midoriya? What’s that for?“

“I-I saw some people advertising them so you can keep people safe and well I thought about you.”

Grabbing the necklace he unclasped it and motioned for you to turn around. Quickly pushing your hair out of the way you faced your back to him.

“What does it do?”

“It has like this two way vibration setup. You learn Morse code and press onn-“ He hooked it on before turning you around and lightly tapping on the pendant. “-here! Basically you can signal to my bracelet when you need to! Simple things like SOS!”

“Soo for help? You can do it back?”

“Yeah! The bracelet has a pendant I can press on too! We can use it to find each other! Just in case! And it can track where the other is.”

“This had to have cost a lot-“

“Money isn’t a problem when it comes to you. This is a you and me thing. That’s why I brought you over here! It’ll be our little secret.”

He smiled at you before raising his pinkie. Hah, a pinkie promise. You felt a small grin find your lips before raising your pinkie to his. Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad. Just something that you could actually decide.

“Thank you Midoriya, now cmon. Let’s go with the others.”

“Jeez it’s soo early!!”

“Y/N it’s time to go!”

“G-give me a second!”

Grabbing your bag you headed towards the car. Midnight and Present Mic followed after with your babies in their arms.

“Ok so I pumped enough milk that should last them but if it doesn’t I use this certain formula! And and uhmm ok Hana likes when you rock her more softly and Hiro likes his head being-“

“Y/N! We got this. We’ll call if we need help.”

“I-it’s just.. I’m gonna miss them! Be good my angels.”

Giving your babies a kiss to the head you turned around before you could cry. Endeavor put your bags in the car before opening the door for you.

“Y/N. Time to go.”

“Bye Y/N!!”

You get in as he shuts the door. Waving to them Endeavor starts the journey to UA. Once again, the car ride was silent. The radio barely audible while you rub your eyes.

“So, why are you going?”

“Mm I don’t know. They said I have to.”

“Well then.”

The car suddenly stops out of nowhere as you feel yourself slam into the front. His hand flies to your hair before you could even react. A cry leaves your lips.

“Ow Endeavor!-“

“I swear if anything happens to Shoto at that camp I will hurt you.”

“You asshole!-“

He practically growled before his other hand shot to your jaw, gripping it with a bruising hold. You could feel the tears threatening to spill from your eyes. Why was he doing this?

“If so much as a scratch is on him I’ll hurt your kids. Am I clear?” You nod frantically before whimpering. He lets you go as you cower away and nearly glue yourself to the passenger side door. “Good.”

The rest of the ride went without bumps. You arrived to where the buses were and quickly got out the car. You were fucking scared. The kids attention landed on you as they all group up next to you. No no no- you didn’t wanna be by the car! You let out a small gasp at the feeling of Endeavor grabbing your shoulder.

“Your bag.”

“R-right sorry I’ll-“

“Why don’t you grab them.”

Shit! Todoroki’s words make chills go down your spine as Endeavor glares at you.

“She can’t do it herself?”

“Don’t be a prick.”

“It’s fine really-“ Heading towards the trunk you cough, cheeks sore from the rough fingers that held them. “- It’s only one bag so I can do it..”

Grabbing it quickly you closed the trunk and started heading towards the bus. Maybe you underestimated Endeavor’s motive. He didn’t care what happened to you or your kids. God he’s probably working something up to frame you. You lean against the window of the bus as you stared out to the kids, seeing them still huddled up. Your eyes met Todoroki before looking away.

“All right asshole what’d you do to her.”

“What do you mean Shoto? She’s fine.”

“Bullshit!”

“Todoroki! Calm down.. let’s just get on the bus alright?”

Todoroki scoffed before walking away, Midoriya sighed in relief as he followed after. After everything became situated they got on the bus accordingly. They’d steal small glances of you as they passed your seat. They could tell something was off. But they didn’t wanna push it. And thus the journey to the camp began.

“How do you like the water Miss Y/N?”

“It’s nice, but I shouldn’t be in here. You guys were the ones that trained not me!”

“Oh there’s nothing wrong with it Miss! You deserve to relax a little too!”

You smile before sinking lower into the hot soothing water. After getting to the camp the students were immediately tasked with something. Which sucked really since they thought this was a fun trip but in reality they’d be training til they dropped! You on the other hand were only asked to help with the food but were heavily told starting tomorrow you’d get the same treatment as them. You had just smiled and nodded knowing that you were dying inside. Alone time your ass!

“How did you guys like the food?”

“It was really good miss!”

“Of course it was! The Miss Y/N used to work at a restaurant after all!”

“I was a waiter..”

“Doesn’t matter!”

The girls erupt into giggles as you softly laugh. Although you were smiling you felt guilt. Why were you always so isolated from them? They clearly cared about you and all you’d do was be mean. But you had to!! Shigaraki said they’d try to win you over, that if you let your guard down you’d get used, and you didn’t want that.

So why did his words fade to the back of your head to be forgotten? You and the girls continued relaxing in the water as jokes and topics were thrown around. The guilt fading away the more you got to actually know them. Just like how you opened up more to them! They could feel it, your walls were coming down. They’d finally get to know the real you.

“Again!”

“You can’t expect me to!- ugh fine!”

Here you were standing in front of Aizawa, getting ready to spar you again. This guy has been making you do this nonstop! The 2nd day he made you run up and down the uneven mountains to gain stamina and now he was beating the shit out of you. I mean what could you expect!? You have no quirk it’s not like you can train air! So that’s why he had you trying to improve your combat.

It didn’t help you were a little distracted by Todoroki. Endeavor’s threats still lingered in your head, meaning you would attend to Todoroki’s needs. At first he didn’t know why but he had an idea after connecting the way you acted from being dropped off by Endeavor to how you tried to do everything for him. Of course his father threatened someone to make sure he was alright. And he had to choose the most vulnerable one.

A pained grunt left your lips as you backed away. Once again your eyes lingered on Todoroki too long, allowing Aizawa to hit you with a fucking right hook. You barely have any time to recover before he threw you onto your back. The air was knocked out your lungs while your muscles burned. He grabbed your shirt before stomping next to your head.

“Alright what’s the matter with you? You’re never this slow to react even when we train at UA.”

“I-I’m just tired-“

“Then why do you keep looking at Todoroki?” You pause, wrong move. He drags you up on your feet before dusting you off. “What’s going on?”

You bit your lip as you looked down. You didn’t want to tell him. He’d probably call you weak, just like Shigaraki would.

“I’m just.. tired okay? I miss the kids and all..”

He was disappointed. Aizawa knew something was wrong and he wanted you to tell him. From what the girls told him you’d been opening up more, barriers falling. So he hoped you’d say something just anything. That way he and the others could help, but he didn’t push it. He let out a sigh before walking away.

“Clean yourself up. You’re done for the day.”

All you can do is nod before speed walking away. You had to leave before you started crying. God why couldn’t you just tell him? The students would turn to see you before going back to their training, making you feel all the more alone. Everyone had someone here just not you.

It was supposed to be some haunted maze. The students were all asked to participate except for the ones who needed to test again with Aizawa and Vlad. You said you could help with them but they insisted you had fun. Which is why you were currently walking the woods with Todoroki and Bakugo. The crickets chirped as your feet crunched on the dirt and twigs. It was so silent that you could practically hear everything.

“Soo.. how has training for the both of you been?”

“Fine.”

The way they said it in unison gave you the creeps. Could they show a little more emotion or interest?! You sniffle a little before sneezing. Wait, what is that smell? It smelled almost burnt as you looked around. Todoroki stopped before turning to you guys.

“Do you guys smell that?”

“It smells like trees are burning.”

“Is that part of the maze or?- Watch out!”

You push Todoroki as something surged towards you three. He stumbled away before you scream. Something metal-like stabbed into your leg. It retracted from you as Bakugo picked you up off the floor. A wail left your lips while you grabbed onto your leg.

“What the hell is that?!”

“Bakugo we have to get her away from here!”

“This shit isn’t supposed to fucking hurt us! Are they idiots?!-“

“Students! It’s come to our attention we are being attacked! Your teachers have allowed you permission to use your quirks to defend yourself!”

Shit. Was this an actual attack? But who could it be? Was it some random group that figured out UA students were here? Wait, was this what Shigaraki was planning?It couldn’t be him… right? Bakugo placed you next to a tree before standing next to Todoroki.

“Bakugo you should be with Y/N.”

“Yeah right asshole! And leave all the fun to you?”

“Alright we aren’t too far from where the pussycats are.. Sensei said we should regroup with the rest!”

“A-are you alright Midoriya?” Your voice sounding weak as you had your arm over Todoroki’s shoulders. “What did the guy you fought look like? I-I might know him!”

“I’m fine, he was this big guy who could grow muscle- are you okay though? Your leg must hurt Miss!”

“I bet it does. Such a shame we have to bring you back like that.”

Huh? Everyone looks ups to the new voice. Who the heck is that? And what did he mean by bring you back- Oh shit! This WAS Shigaraki’s doing! You never got to know who exactly was in the league so it was hard to tell if this was actually Shigaraki’s plan. Wait… he was gonna take you back to him.

You should’ve felt giddy. Happy, excited, THRILLED at the idea. But you felt nauseous thinking about reuniting with Shigaraki. Todoroki gripped you close to him when he realized what was going on. There was no way in HELL he could have you get taken away. He couldn’t allow it especially with the way things already looked for you.

Everyone would assume you told the villains where the camp was being held. You’d go from being a victim in people’s eyes to a criminal. He couldn’t have that. You’ve worked so hard! He could practically feel how scared you were too! Was Shigaraki trying to ruin your life? Out of no where the man is right beside the both of you in a blink of an eye, the next thing you knew it was… dark.

Where were you? You wanted to get out!! It was so quiet!.. so cold.. it was practically just nothing in the air. Tears formed in your eyes as you scratched at your skin. You fell to your knees before the sobs left your throat. Your babies.

Who would take care of them? Would people treat them like monsters? Bringing your knees to your chest you just cried and cried. You didn’t even know when you stopped crying. Didn’t know when your lids felt heavy, the sleep consuming you.

Shigaraki was so excited. He’s been depraved of female touch for months! His little plaything playing house with heroes while he was left to sulk all alone. But he was a patient man… (no he’s not liar liar LIARRR) He could gladly just use his hand when he got needy. But now he didn’t have to wait! He just hoped you didn’t change too much.

God if you got ugly he’d probably have to kill you or something, which is so much unnecessary work. Just then the portals appeared. Finally! The league has returned with a successful mission! He quickly left his room and headed towards the bar as a crooked smile graced his face. There they were already tying up the UA student. His eyes scanned and scanned before landing on you.

Well not really since you were being covered. Spinner was holding your unconscious body as Shigaraki inched closer. Well, you changed but not too much. You were still hot to him I guess. Oh just great you got injured. What a pain that’s gonna be.

“Give her here.”

“Get the hell away from her asshole!”

Bakugo shouted as he thrashed around. The league just ignored him while they continued to tie him down. Spinner was quick to transport you over to Shigaraki’s arms before clearing his throat.

“We don’t know how her ankle got injured but we’re guessing it was when Moonfish went after the Todoroki boy and Bakugo sir.”

“Yeah yeah alright. I’ll be in my room. Don’t even think about coming in you dipshits.”

“Gross… is he gonna like.. grope her?”

“Sure she’ll be fine! No she won’t! He’s gonna kill her!!”

Shigaraki locks his bedroom door before placing you down. He couldn’t wait. He needed to get his hands on you! His fingers grabbed at your shirt as it dusted ,along with your pants which left you in nothing but underwear, a bra and socks. One of them was a bit sticky with blood but he could care less. Unzipping his pants he shuffled to be between your legs.

Should he wake you up? Nah, you’d probably just whine and whine about something he didn’t care about. He grabbed the lube bottle on the night stand as he squirted some of it onto his cock, stroking up and down. This was so exciting! He’s never taken you while you were sleeping… Pushing your panties to the side he ran two fingers up and down your slit with the lube.

He couldn’t have you being dry it’d feel like shit! You whimpered in your sleep as he continued touching you as he pleased. He shoved a finger in before making it two. They sloshed around your walls while your body writhed in discomfort. Man, he was getting impatient. At least you were getting wetter.

He knew foreplay had to happen because blah blah blah blah blah. Oh you didn’t need that much! You were probably loose from the childbirth you’ll be fine. He pulled his fingers out to watch them glisten in the barely lit room, his PC shining as best as it could. He sucked on them before letting out a throaty moan. Tasted just like he remembered.

Grabbing your ankles he notices how your leg kicked away from him. Aw, your ankle wound was still gushing a little blood! How cute or whatever. He ran his tip up and down your slit before pushing in roughly. This caused your eyes to immediately shoot open as a throaty gasp left your lips. He laughed at your body’s response all the while he’d thrust in.

“Well good morning to you sweetheart! You miss me? Shit.. still tight as a virgin!”

“S-Shigaraki it hurts!”

Your pleas fall on deaf ears as he rammed his hips forward before pulling them back. His brutal pace continued while your tears stained your cheeks. It hurt almost like the first time he took you. The sounds of skin slapping echoed throughout the room with your cries. The whole league could probably hear it.

“Oh sweetheart I can’t thank you enough.. because of you we managed to capture Bakugo Katsuki!”

No! You yelp at him pulling your hair as the words settled in. The entire point of that attack was Bakugo? Oh god Bakugo could probably hear you guys, now you wanted nothing more then to shrivel up and die!

“But… Why the fuck didn’t you tell me you would be there? Huh?” A scream erupted from your throat as he gripped your wounded ankle, the blood staining his fingers. “Answer me!”

“I-I didn’t know! Please it hurts!!”

“Didn’t know? Do you think I’m fucking stupid! Liar!”

“Please I swear Shigaraki I couldn’t send anything on time!” Sobs left you as he stared you down with his ruby eyes. You’d never seen him like this. Your body was shaking like a leaf. “They- they told me the day before! I had no time! I was constantly under their supervision!

P-Please…”

With a smile he let go of your leg. All the anger he had displayed disappeared, only love and affection showed now. Peppering small kisses on your skin you sniffle while rubbing the tears away.

“I’m sorry baby, you’ll forgive me right? You know I didn’t mean it.”

He was lying. You could tell he was. You never noticed it before since you were so blinded with love but now it was so evident. He was manipulating you from the start. There was never love behind those eyes, just pure control. You timidly smile before letting your fingers rest against his cheeks.

“Of course Shigaraki!… I-I love you so much..”

“See! You know I was just making sure! I can’t have my favorite girl lying to me.. can I?” You shake your head no as he snickered. “Good good, now where were we?”

It hurt. After the whole argument Shigaraki continued on with what he was doing. His hands had greedily touched you with venom as you tried to block it out. His pace was unforgiving and he hadn’t bothered to make you cum. You had to fake one. Wasn’t as hard as you thought it’d be. After he used you up he cleaned himself and went back out to the bar area.

You felt so ashamed. So used and so guilty. The heroes never wanted to use you like Shigaraki said they did, they wanted to save you. Release you of the pain you put yourself through. And now it was too late. It’s not like you could leave now.

He had you chained down to him for good. Everyone knows you because of him. Your children will be constant reminders of what he’d done. And now you wanted nothing more than to just hold them. Cradle them close to your chest as if letting go would mean they’d be gone forever. You hold your body while humming the lullaby you’d sing them to sleep.

You couldn’t hear the soft steps approaching the room as you mumbled the words and faced the wall. The door creaked open before closing, the pair of feet now inches away from the bed. The person cleared their throat before they sat on the edge. You glanced back tiredly with a frown. Oh, who was this? They smiled at you softly while pushing a strand of hair back.

“I’m Magne! But you can just call me big sis. I’m here to clean you up.”

“Oh. Okay..”

You slowly pulled yourself up as you whimper. Shigaraki left bruising marks on you, and worsened your ankle. She hissed before going to grabs towels from his little bathroom. You shivered while looking down to the sheets.

“Yknow you shouldn’t let him treat you like that.”

“What?..”

“I know he’s practically my boss and everything but it doesn’t excuse him for treating you like shit.” You whimper at the cool feeling of the towel as she presses it to your skin. “You’re supposed to be his girlfriend. Not his punching bag.”

“Well.. I don’t know what he even thinks of me. I love him really I do- but I think he’s just playing with me.”

“Ugh, men. They always take the good ones for granted. You need to stand up to him one day.”

“How? He’s stronger than me. He’d probably just belittle me like he always does..”

“Let him! Don’t let those meaningless words get to you. That’s how you know you’re winning!” The towel rubs on your cheek as your eyes light up. “I noticed he gets mean when he thinks he’s losing so if you just hold your ground he’ll have no choice but to treat you right!”

“You really think so?”

“I know so girl! Kick him in the family jewels if you gotta.”

Her words make you giggle before covering your mouth. She just gave you a toothy smile as she continued cleaning your skin up. You guys chatted and chatted about multiple things while she brushed your hair and helping you pick clothes to change into. She was also definitely a good friend. Someone you would need for your current situation.

“Alright I’ll be waiting at the bar! Just be quick because that asshole needs to be put in his place I swear-“

“Shh! He might hear you hehe!”

You both giggle before she leaves the room. Limping over to the bed you grab the shirt and bring it over your head. Next up was the… skirt. The reason you look at it so distastefully is because the thing practically wasn’t even a skirt. So short it couldn’t even be called a miniskirt. You just click your tongue, bringing it up your legs.

Grabbing the black leg warmers you put them on with caution as to not hurt your foot. Were you seriously expected to walk with this injured leg? Whatever at this point you don’t care. Turning to the nightstand you go to grab your necklace before gasping. Holy shit the necklace! This was yours and Bakugo’s fucking way out!!

“I just wish we could do something to help them.”

“I almost had him. It’s my fault Y/N’s gone too. I didn’t protect her like I should’ve.”

“Todoroki-“

Midoriya’s bracelet buzzed all of a sudden as he looked down at it immediately. You’re trying to talk! His classmates look at him in confusion while he just laughed and smiled.

“What are you laughing at dude? This isn’t funny!”

“No! It’s Y/N! She’s okay! It’s a long story but we can communicate with this!”

Midoriya quickly pressed his bracelet to send a vibration back, which resulted in you pressing it happily.

“Dude seriously?! Ask her if Bakugo is okay!!”

“Ok ok!! B-A-K-U-G-O S-A-F-E??” The room went quiet as they diligently waited for you. Buzzing occurred before Midoriya recited the letters. Thank god you guys managed to study Morse code at the camp in y’all’s free time. “Oh she’s responding! Uhh I-D-K”

“IDK? As in I don’t know? How doesn’t she know!!”

“Hold on she’s still sending letters! Ok uh S-E-P-A-R-A-T-E-D! They have them separated!”

“Shoot..”

“Alright let’s… U O-K-A-Y??” Midoriya just had to ask. With the way things ended that night it was necessary. He was worried about your ankle after all.

‘F-I-N-E F-O-R N-O-W. A-N-K-L-E H-U-R-T.’

“I knew her leg wasn’t alright. What should I ask next?”

“Ask if she knows where they are! Anything to help the police with!”

“Good Idea Iida! L-O-C-A-T-I-O-N?”

‘B-A-R I-D-K W-H-E-R-E’

“She said a bar? But doesn’t know where.”

“Maybe she’s heard them calling it that.”

His bracelet buzzed more as he held it concentrated. This was so nerve wracking. They finally had some sort of relief but it was still scary. Midoriya was afraid you’d get caught and get hurt. Or worse, killed.

‘S-O-S. G-T-G U-P-D-A-T-E L-T-R’

“She’s gotta go shoot! She said she’d update us later.”

“We have to tell All Might!”

“Wait!” They stopped walking to the door when Midoriya yelled out. He looked down nervously before indicating for them to come closer. “Look I.. can’t let anyone know about these. I told her I’d keep it a secret.”

“Midoriya! We need to tell them! It’ll help her if anything!”

“Yeah and she won’t be their prime suspect anymore!”

Right. After the students were escorted to safety and they realized you were missing along with Bakugo, the police labeled you dangerous. No matter what Todoroki and the others told them they still thought you were behind it. Your babies were put in protective custody as they thought the league would try to snatch them next. Once it got out on TV it just became worse. The public practically blamed you for all of it. Some saying they ‘knew you were off’.

Wanted posters of you were plastered everywhere and alerts were put out to report any suspicious woman who looked like you. They were so off about everything that they didn’t realize you were a hostage too. Back at the Hideout you were timidly walking down the hall. It’s been so long since you walked them, such a weird feeling. Reaching the bar you peaked your head through. Relief washed over you immediately seeing Bakugo was fine.

His eyes met yours, growing alert to seeing you a little beaten up. Your legs were out after all which meant he could see the bruises and the bandages peeking threw the leg warmers on your ankle. And you tried so desperately to hide the limp. Didn’t want him to worry anymore. Tomura grabbed you by the neck before bringing you to his lap.

“Well look who finally decided to show up! Jesus why do you take so damn long?”

“ ‘M sorry…”

“Jeez crusty. Can’t you see she’s a little hurt? She limps like some hurt dog.” You feel your lip quiver as you looked down. The black hair man who you’ve been told was Dabi by Magne snickers. “She still managed to get all dolled up too. Be grateful for it before someone else snatches her up.”

“And who the hell would want some used up villian whore? I don’t have to worry for shit.”

“You asshole!-“

“I-it’s fine Bakugo..”

Magne looks at you disappointed. You really wanted to stand up for yourself but with Tomura’s deadly hands on you, you’d rather not speak out. You don’t already trust him after the earlier threats. God forbid he actually kill you. Your hand played anxiously with the necklace as your eyes stayed trained to the floor.

“Who the hell got you that?”

“H-huh?”

“The necklace. Who got it for you sweetheart?”

“U-uhm..” You looked around nervously before looking to Bakugo. If you told Shigaraki Midoriya got it he’d destroy it. So you decided to lie. “It was Bakugo…”

“Ooh really? Why’d you give her a necklace huh?”

You prayed he understood. Because if he didn’t lie right here right now your only source of communication with actual help would be gone. Bakugo scoffed before shutting his eyes.

“So what if I gave her a necklace? You got a problem asshole?”

Oh thank god. Shigaraki hums before caressing your hair. A pained whimper leaves you as his fingers dug into your scalp and pulled you up.

“How cute! You decided to make friends.” You shake your head no but he just nods. It seems his mockery wouldn’t just be in the comfort of his own room. “It’s fine Y/N! I got you a gift after all too.”

“What?..”

“Yeah! Let me go get it for you!”

He rises from the stool he was in and heads into some room. You glanced over to Bakugo worried that his gift would embarrass you. And boy… were you right. You hadn’t seen it yet but by the look on nearly everyone’s face you could see, it wasn’t good. You turned slowly to see Shigaraki with a LEASH in hand. All you could do was stare at it with your jaw dropped.

“Surprise! A pretty leash for my pretty girl!”

“O-Oh!..”

“What the fuck?”

Pink-Momo, Blue-Iida, Green-Deku,

Red-Kiri, White-Shoto

“Midoriya what does the tracker say now?”

“It says Y/N is at this place… But it looks like a shopping center! Dang it did I get scammed?”

“Wait Midoriya- I heard All Might and the police talk about some hidden bar they might be in.. Y/N also said bar in her messages too right?”

“Yeah! She did say it was a bar but didn’t know where.”

“Maybe it’s there then!”

“Well then we have no choice! We must let All Might and the authorities deal with it!”

“Iida! No! We decided to go through with this plan we can’t back out now!”

“Hold on Kirishima.. If my tracker says a different location then yours then that must mean they keep the Nomus in a different place!”

“Which means the press conference is a cover up? They know where both the Nomu are and where the league are. So they obviously plan to surprise them.”

“Exactly that Todoroki.”

“Then, which location do we go to?”

“Look at you! My girl being all obedient with her collar!”

You wanted to bash your skull in more than anything. Here you were sat on the floor like some animal as Shigaraki… caressed your head. It was so embarrassing having Bakugo see and seething that he couldn’t do anything about it. Your ankle hurt like hell too. He’s had you in this uncomfortable position for god knows how long and the pain wasn’t easing on your foot.

At least you’ve been able to communicate with Bakugo. After seeing you secretly pressing on your necklace from time to time he starting blinking to you in Morse code. You didn’t know he knew Morse code but it was good for the moment. You talked back and forth about how help was on the way and he’d be out of here in no time. You’d only say he was being saved because with the way things were looking, you’d never get away. Shigaraki rose from his chair before clasping his hands together.

“Alright, It’s time. Untie Bakugo. If he’s going to be a member then we should treat him as such! Isn’t that right Y/N?”

You nod before you’re being pulled up. A low pained whimper left you as your legs shook. Dabi pushes Twice forward to Bakugo before Twice let out a offended gasp.

“How rude! You’re too kind!”

“You untie him. And have the girl help you.”

You get pushed forward as well, wincing at the pressure on your leg. The both of you help him out as you’d glance to Bakugo every now and then. He had that look in his eyes. He planned to attack you could tell. You mouth no but once Twice finished untying his part, hell broke loose.

“Ah! Ther-“

Bakugo lunged forward with an attack. All you could do was watch in horror, the hit going straight towards Shigaraki. As Bakugo created distance between the league and him he kept you close under one of his arms. The thud of the all too familiar hand falling to the ground sent chills down your spine. Oh no, Shigaraki was gonna be furious.

“Huh.. how interesting.” He bends down to grab the hand before placing it back on his face. “Y/N, keep your fucking dog in check.”

“I’ll kill you asshole! If you want me to listen then get on your knees and beg!”

“Ooh not very hero like is it? Come here Y/N! Kurogiri! Compress! Put the brat to sleep.”

“No!”

The words echoed off the wall as silence consumed the hideout. You gulped nervously, looking at everyone’s reactions. But the one that stuck out the most, was Shigaraki’s furious glare. He goes to open his mouth before sudden knocking occurred. You all look to the door before the words ripped through the air.

“Hello, this is Pizza-La, Camino store.”

The place grew silent as much as everyone’s confusion. But in the blink of an eye, destruction struck. The wall to the building breaks as you yelped. Bakugo shielded you as the debris cleared. It was All Might!

“Kurogiri! Gate!”

Before Kurogiri could conjur up a gate the pro hero Kamui Woods shoot out limbs of wood, trapping the villians. It was going down so fast you could hardly keep track. It almost reminded you of how they first rescued you, just much more chaotic.

“You can’t run anymore, League of Villians!”

The booming words of All Might have you letting out a exhale. Was it finally over? The heroes attention turn to you and Bakugo as All Might walks to you both with the all too familiar smile.

“It’s alright now. You must’ve been scared. You handled it well!”

“I wasn’t scared asshole!”

You laugh a little before feeling a jab at your neck. Shigaraki still had a hold of the leash?! You grab at your neck as Bakugo attempts to help you take it off.

“This is… unsatisfying…”

“Let her go you loser!”

“Where is All for One?”

“Go away… I hate you!”

Out of nowhere grey goop appears from thin air, Nomus coming out of it. You go to curse but feel something thick course up your throat. Oh my god!.. it’s coming out of you!! You immediately start panicking as much as the heroes do. Your teary eyes watch as it happens to the rest of the league, even including Bakugo.

“No!!”

Your vision went black.

“They’re right there!… how do we save them?..”

“We can’t do anything Kirishima!.. Dont you see All for One right there!..”

“Oh my god… Is that a collar on Miss Y/N’s neck!?..”

The five of them were all terrified. They had decided to go where the Nomu were as they thought what you meant was Bakugo and you were at different locations. But to their avail, they were wrong. And now terrified as they were cursed with the presence of All For One. You and Bakugo weren’t doing so good either. Now that they practically considered you both hostages instead of teammates, you were likely to be tied up again.

“Oh Y/N! It’s been too long. How are the children?”

“I-I…”

“Master she’s a traitor! Do something so she learns to behave!”

“Oh we can’t have that Y/N! I welcomed you with open arms and this is how you repay me?”

“W-wait!-“

“Oh but we can’t blame you can we? You’re quirkless trash… it’s in your nature.”

You could feel your stomach churn as the words were thrown ruthlessly at you. In a split second he’s infront of you, his hand gripping your arm tightly. You yell out in pain when you feel something stab into your neck, pumping god knows what into you.

“I’ll fix you up real nice Y/N. Something to make you understand all that I do.” Your body shakes as the pain began to grow unbearable. “I was creating this one just for you. Just so you know who you are in this world.”

“Stop!”

“Oh look who showed up.”

You attempt to look at the booming voice all the while you fought to stay conscious. Your body felt off, different. You couldn’t tell what it was and to be honest you didn’t want to know what it was. But it seemed All for One was finished since he let you go, your body falling to the ground. The tears fell effortlessly from your eyes as your body grew paralyzed. A pair of hands hastily pick you up before screaming out.

“Stay awake! Shit! Back off you extras!”

“Give her back you brat!”

A small whine left your lips, your eyes focusing in on Bakugo.

“You have to let me go… you’ll only get hurt..”

“Like hell I will!” His hand slapped at your face in attempt to keep you from falling unconscious. “You gotta help me fight these guys! Do you want to see your kids again!?”

Your kids… your babies! You feel your body regain its energy before jumping out of his arms. The entire time you were here not once did Shigaraki ask about the babies. What kind of father didn’t care about his children! Bakugo let a smirk land on his face as the both of you got into a fighting stance. Thank god you actually got trained for combat, no more complaining to Aizawa!

“Are you- you can’t fight us! We outnumber you!”

“Watch us crusty!”

“Toga! Magne! Get her!”

You run towards them as Toga throws her knife at you. Quickly dodging it you hit her right on her side, remembering the move Aizawa pulled on you. Before she could regain her composure you threw her onto her back, knocking the air out her lungs. After getting her down you go to handle Magne. She throws punches at you as quickly as you dodge them.

“I hate that we have to fight Y/N! You’d be an amazing friend!”

“I know! But I can’t let you guys hurt him!”

“Can you feel it?”

“What?”

“The quirk! Can you feel it?”

You paused at the fact she stopped throwing hits, her dodging your advances now. You let out a pained yelp…. like a dog. What the fuck? Your head hurt as if it was stabbed. But you would’ve died. You grab at where the blood was leaving you and freeze. Was that…

“Yay! I hit you right on the ear!”

“I’m… a fucking dog! You guys turned me into a dog?!”

“It’s exactly what you are! The mutt we took in that takes everything for granted!”

You find your way back to Bakugo while feeling your heart thump out your chest. This was really happening. You’re a hybrid half human half dog creature! A explosion rips through the air, ice forming soon after. Almost everyone looks up and you’re left dumbfounded. It’s Midoriya and the others!

“Cmon!”

Kirishima yells out. Bakugo signals for you to get on his back before you jump on. Almost immediately Shigaraki goes to stop you guys, but it’s too late. You’re in the air in a matter of seconds! Bakugo getting rid of every obstacle in the way. He smirks to the others as he holds on tightly to Kirishima.

“You crazy bastards!”

“Y-you guys really came!”

“Don’t you worry Miss Y/N! We’d never leave you behind!”

“Oh shit we’re gonna crash!”

You guys all collectively scream before landing roughly. With an oof you tumble off Bakugo and straight up eat concrete.

“Ow! My nose!”

“Crap! Miss Y/N let me help you up!”

“Thank you Kirishima!… God I’m so… t-tired….”

You start stumbling before your vision became splotchy. Their shouts became muffled as you looked at the with half lidded eyes. Maybe you underestimated how much energy was taken from you. Curse the sudden Adrenaline!!

“Stay awake Miss!”

Iida said the words in a frantic frenzy as he shook your shoulders.

“Don’t shake her like that!”

“Oh crap she’s out!”

You passed out. Their futile attempts going unheard of while you slumbered away. The entire time you were knocked out they took turns carrying you on their backs. That was until they managed to get you to the hospital. Which resorted in you being handcuffed to the bed. Midoriya had called practically everyone to the hospital, making the room overflow with back to back banter. As of now the students were arguing with the authorities.

You tried your best to hide yourself under the covers, too ashamed to look at them after what occurred. The second you had woken up you threw up. Which resorted to you seeing yourself in the bathroom mirror and screaming bloody murder. And when they managed to get in they had seen the broken pieces scattered all over the floor, you curled up and crying. You didn’t have too many cuts from the glass but they opted it wasn’t safe if you weren’t handcuffed to the bed.

“Miss Y/N… please… It’s not bad!..”

“I’m a- Dog! I have the ears!- the tail the claws- the godforsaken teeth!”

“You’re a cute little corgi! What’s wrong with dogs?”

“My mother was murdered and mutilated by rabid dogs! That’s what’s wrong with them!”

Everyone immediately shut up at the words that left you. Now they understood why this could be upsetting. Although you weren’t fully a dog and still had a human body, you felt disgusting and betrayed. Shigaraki was the only one you told about that… which meant he told All for One. How could you have been so blind? Of course he was just using you, and now you pay the consequences for being so stupid.

“My… babies. I want to see my babies.”

“I’m afraid we can’t allow that.”

“And why not!”

“Because we still don’t know if you’re a threat or not. We don’t know how the League found out about the camp. And you suspiciously were there.”

You stare at them with the most ‘are you fucking serious’ look. You were… SUSPICIOUSLY THERE? Like as if they didn’t make you go? Like as if you didn’t protest and come up with countless excuses? Okay maybe Shigaraki was right about one thing and that was that Heroes were stupid. You huffed and turned your back to them, pulling the blanket to cover you again.

“Just- leave. I’m not up to putting up a fight so leave.”

They eventually did leave you alone, letting you bask in the silence. Although it wasn’t all so bad! Your nurse was always talkative and gossiped with you. She was a bit of an airhead but it was nice she didn’t treat you differently. When you were released they allowed timed visitations with your children. You were trapped in a fixed schedule yet again.

But this was much more harsher. You weren’t allowed a phone, limited TV channels, only going out to certain locations and the worse of them all. You had to live in the new UA dorms with the kids. You couldn’t even protest, the words always catching in your throat when they spoke to you. Simple curt nods or small no’s. Although your room was a tad bigger than the usual dorms you felt suffocated.

You lived in that building alone for such a short time, yet you were going mental. Whatever the pro heroes think was helping was making you go all the more insane. Only thing you looked forward to was the doctor visits to see how your body was adjusting to a quirk. They didn’t allow the pro heroes in the room for privacy reasons.

“How have you been Ma’am? Anything different happen since last Thursday?”

“U-uhm I’ve been feeling nauseous?.. Morning sickness but I think it might just be food poisoning!”

“Hmmm” The doctor scribbles on his clipboard before looking up to you. “Can you provide a urine sample?”

“Why? If I may ask-“

“You had unprotected sex with Tomura Shigaraki right? In your first hospital report since you’ve been back they found semen remains. It’s better to be safe then sorry. But maybe we should do blood tests…. They can determine pregnancy faster then Urine tests do.”

“I-I can do both. If that helps.”

“Great! The nurse will take you to the bathroom after we get your blood.”

You nod, agreeing to his words. After the blood was taken from your arm your old nurse came in to guide you to the bathroom. The entire way there she gossiped with you about coworker drama.

“Oh and then it’s said Doctor Koshi sleeps with all his assistants! That’s why they have him on some leave right now…”

You pat her arm gently as you offered a soft smile.

“Well as interesting as that sounds I have to pee now. Tell me more later!”

She nods swiftly before giving you the cup to pee in. The second you finished up and open the door you see your nurse being chatted up by Midnight. She looks over to you as you walked over. What was she doing here? She should be waiting in the common area.

“What’s the sample for?”

“You don’t have to answer that.” Thankfully your doctor came to your rescue as he walked up the three of you. “Patients don’t have to disclose that unless they’re a minor. Which she isn’t.”

“Is it so wrong to want to know?”

“Just tests. All I can say legally. Cmon Miss L/N. And you can follow the nurse back to the common room.”

You follow him like a lost puppy back to the room before plopping back onto the bed. He sighs while rubbing his temples.

“So we sent your urine off with the nurse and your blood results should be coming any second.”

“Great.”

Silence enveloped the room before he spoke up again.

“What will you do.”

“What?”

“If you’re pregnant. What will you do? Like decide i mean.”

“Uhhh..” You start thinking to yourself. What will you do? Would the Heroes make you get rid of it? Gulping you looked to him with worried eyes. “If I decided to keep it… they can’t force me to abort it right?”

He almost seemed stunned by your question before shaking his head no. You exhale with relief, happy you still had that choice. A knock erupts the silence as the nurse comes in with results. She hands them to the doctor before leaving swiftly. He scanned them quickly, leaving you nervous all the more.

“Positive.” The words ring through your ears as your heart thumped. It made you feel all the more nauseous before nodding. “You gonna tell them?”

“D-do I have to?”

“If you feel it’s safer to tell them later on in the pregnancy you can. I have to go with what you want.”

“Okay… then it’ll be a secret?”

“Yeah you can put it that way. I’ll prescribe you some vitamins and tell them to lay off the training.”

“Won’t they get suspicious?”

“I’ll say it’s destroying your body. Does that help?”

You nod before grabbing your purse. On the way back to the common area he told you foods to stay away from and gave you any notes that they’d probably want. He opens the door to the common area, seeing the heroes you came with. It’s hard to hide how sad you get, but then again when was it ever easy to hide? The Doctor cleared his throat before walking up to the heroes.

“How exactly are you treating Miss L/N?”

“What do you mean?” Aizawa perks up as you come closer. “Is there something new?”

“I’m talking about this training she speaks about. The diet, the sleep schedule, the everything.”

“We have her maintaining a healthy lifestyle. So for when she’s on her own, she knows how to live.”

“I believe my patient here was human before the incident correct?” They all nod confused before he crosses his arms. “That’s right so you know what that means? It means she knows how to eat and sleep and exercise on her own.”

“Right but-“

“It’s killing her body. All the constant battering you guys are giving to her body is destroying it.”

Oh shoot you didn’t know he was gonna lie directly to their faces! Looking away from their gaze you tapped your feet to keep yourself distracted. All Might just pats your shoulder before speaking up.

“What about the quirk? Is it hurting her too?”

“The quirk is speeding up the process. If what you guys were doing was hurting her body, then the quirk is just gonna make things quicker.”

“So.. what do we do?”

“I gave Miss L/N some notes that you can go over. I need her to get as much rest as possible, foods have to be high in calories and protein, sunlight is good take her out for walks, and just maybe listen to her.”

“It almost sounds like she’s pregnant.”

Endeavor speaks up. God damn it that god forsaken dumpster fire! You and your doctor sneak a quick glance to each other before smiling.

“I assure you she’s not haha. Now if you’ll excuse me I have to go. See you Thursday Miss L/N.”

You wave goodbye as you all journey to the car. Endeavor driving, Midnight in the passenger seat, and you, Aizawa, and All Might in the back. You were always put in the middle because they thought you’d jump out. As they conversed about the Doctor’s expectations you got lost in deep thought. Was this also Shigaraki’s intentions? He hasn’t sent a letter explaining how angry he was, so did he decide to leave you alone?

“Y/N!”

“O-oh! Yes sorry?”

“We were asking if you wanted to get food.”

“Really?” You looked to all of them, surprised they were all so quick to listen to what the doctor said. “Me and the students can always just make food!”

“No it’s fine really. What have you been craving?”

“Well…”

“PIZZAAAA!!”

You yell out the words with glee as you entered the dormitory. Almost everyone turned to the sound of you all chipper. Denki and Mina squealed, coming at you hot.

“Oh god this is just what I needed!”

“Miss Y/N you’re my hero!”

“Haha! Everyone dig in! I managed to convince them to get a couple for all of us to share!”

“Share?” Iida perked you at the word. He fixed his glasses before staring at you with curiosity. “But don’t they have you on a strict diet ma’am?”

“Oh I don’t follow it anymore! Doctor said it was killing my body so!- can’t do it!”

Your words mostly came out muffled as you and many of the students stuffed your face with the pizza. He just stood there absolutely confused before finding his own seat and began eating. This was just what you needed, a whole bunch of carbs and freedom! As the area lit up with laughter you felt the weight lift off your shoulders.

“Night Miss Y/N!”

“Goodnight Uraraka!”

Shutting the door you’re enveloped in silence. Oh such sweet silence. You’re quick to lay down on your bed, just staring at the ceiling as the moonlight shines in. You hum softly while holding your stomach. Another baby, another blessing. A smile graced your lips before laughing softly.

“I’ll protect you… my sweet Angel.”

Notes: I don’t hate Shigaraki but this felt right.. If I make a part 3 it’d probably have his redemption! I swear that man can rip me apart and I’d still stay.

jt (finally) watches warrior nun - s2 e1 - Avatrice fight thoughts pt 2

Guess who finally finished the episode! I’m gonna do a post on the dance of romance and the aftermath of the fight in a separate post because I want to go out of order and talk about the fight scene since I’d already started talking about it here.

For such a short scene it does a lot - my notes ended up quite long lol. It was a great scene to highlight how much better Ava’s gotten - but what was also interesting was how it showed how much better Beatrice is compared to Ava. So I figured I’d do a bit of a comparison of the following:

Fight styles (plus a little bit more on each of their opening moves)

Success against multiple attackers / situational awareness (and hits taken)

Vibe in general

First, can we applaud the fact that Ava doesn’t run? Like, even faced with two dudes initially she immediately - and a little cockily - squares up. And yeah she seems a little worried when the number ups to five, but she stands her ground, doesn’t make any moves to run. And these dudes are like, twice her weight and a full head taller than her! Pretty darn badass.

Okay so let’s start with fight styles: So despite Ava being taught by Beatrice, Ava has more of a brawler feel. Makes me wonder if Beatrice leaned into it when she was training her. As in: she must of have noticed Ava’s tendencies, would have definitely taken Ava’s personality into account, yknow? And yes, there’s fundamentals and safety but the best teachers and coaches nurture what’s already there. And idk, I feel like Beatrice isn’t the type to stifle (not when she herself has been, not when Ava has such a passion for living).

Ava tends to swings wide, has extra movement compared to Bea, who’s the epitome of precision and fluidity. Also interesting is that Bea stays grounded the whole time, whilst Ava goes airborne three times: her opening takedown (0:11), a jumping front kick (0:47), and while caught in a rear bear hug (0:50). She literally launches herself into every move, which is very much in character for Ava.

Also, speaking of opening moves: Beatrice’s opening move (0:33) is a simple one that takes advantage of her surprise entrance: it looks like she grabs one dude’s shoulder from behind and somehow gets him to his knees. Feels in character to Beatrice, not getting attention even from the camera lol. But though it’s not as flashy as Ava’s entrance, it’s effective, which is all that matters.

What’s lovely to watch about Bea’s fight is just how fluid it is - similar to the Arq-tech fight, everything flows together. For example, take the moment after that nasty wrist lock strike (0:41): she not only blocks that second dude’s punch but is is already transitioning to a shoulder lock (which, again kudos to KTY for her physicality, the way she uses her whole body, stretching up then twisting to torque the dude’s shoulder - again, very important to use one’s whole body when performing joint locks against a bigger opponent), which flows into crashing the dudes together, and that beautiful spinning back kick.

Everything about Bea’s fight screams professional. I mean, there’s that straight punch she does at 0:54 where it’s precise and powerful - and look how she retracts just as quickly, already loaded for a follow up. And if we’re going to talk about precision: freaking performing a wrist lock is already finicky enough, but to keep that pressure while moving?? Geez.

Also the whole flipping the dude behind her with that shoulder shrug (0:58): yeah, I don’t understand how that’s possible, there was no momentum or leverage, but if we’re going to suspend disbelief and look at it in terms of story, I can see what they were trying to do in painting Beatrice as an aikido master.

Speaking of mastery, let’s move to the second point about multiple attackers. One of my first thoughts as I was watching this scene was, “How did Ava learn to fight multiple opponents if she’s only been training with Beatrice?” If this is the first time she’s been in that kind of situation, she does a good job! She makes smart choices and divides her attention well (good example is the very first exchange at 0:32, she does a great job getting the first dude off-line with that parry that turns him and starts to expose his back - I bet if it’d been 1 v 1, she’d have likely followed up on that, but she makes a good decision to tend to the second dude; also at 0:36, she takes a hit but is smart about getting that dude out of the way so she can do that fun push kick on the other dude).

All in all, yeah, Ava takes a few hits but she shows incredible situational awareness for the level she’s at (and likely for her first 1 v many fight).

Then we have Beatrice. Whereas Ava was constantly reacting, Beatrice was in complete control of her fight. It’s an interesting contrast to the Arq-tech fight: there, she took on each guard one at a time, but here, she is almost always is engaged with both dudes at the same time. Plus, she’s unarmed here. (Which now makes me wonder if Beatrice also “leveled up” while in the Alps. Huh.)

The ultimate example of Beatrice’s superior situational awareness is of course that no-look dodge at 0:55 - probably the closest she ever gets to getting hit during this fight. Note that Beatrice takes no hits during this whole fight, compared to Ava taking three hits (plus a grab; also not counting the crowbar strike she phased through).

Lastly, we’ve got their general vibe. Ava, just like in freaking everything, is just so in the moment and loving it. Now that she’s overcome her flight tendency and has confidence in her fighting abilities, she relishes being in the action. Yeah, there’s that scary moment when she’s caught in the rear bear hug, but she thinks quickly (bases out, seems to also go for the dude’s grip - all textbook moves to execute when in that situation) and gets out of it safely.

Also, I mentioned she took three hits: Did you notice that she just kept going? Yeah, she has the halo to help her heal, but that doesn’t shield her from the pain and the shock of getting hit. It takes a heck of a lot of conditioning to take a blow and just keep going, and Ava does a fantastic job keeping focused.

But if we’re gonna talk about focus, good god, Beatrice’s focus is on another level. This is Beatrice in kill-mode 0 I mean, that look she gives the dude when she wrist locks him at 0:57?

How did that dude not die on the spot? Seriously. Beatrice is cold as ice here, and she doesn’t drop her guard until the very end. (I still think it’s so interesting, the way she steps feet together at 1:03 - it’s very reminiscent of ending a kata, of formally ending a match; though she’s very much still on her guard, almost resigned even, her body has acknowledged that the fight is over).

Oh, I also forgot to mention two things: First, Beatrice again chose not to step in when it comes to Ava interacting with Michael. What’s the saying? Third time is a habit? But she does what she always does, which is watch. Which leads to my second thing: Beatrice must not have been far to have come in so quickly. I wonder if she started heading home then turned back around (maybe she saw Ava’s opening move and felt a little bit of pride?) or kept close the whole time (only stepping in when the odds turned decidedly not in Ava’s favor).

I guess it also explains Beatrice’s vibe in this fight. At Arq-tech, she was fighting only for herself, but my thoughts then are ones I still believe now: that Beatrice sees herself as expendable. But here, she’s not alone - she’s fighting not just for herself, but for Ava as well. She has to win, because to lose means Ava getting hurt.

So yeah, lots of rambling lol - I didn’t expect to be so fascinated with this fight until I started taking notes. I guess the last thing I’ll say is how analyzing this fight made me more sympathetic to Beatrice - when she tells Ava she’s not ready, she truly believes that, and we see evidence here. Ava loves being in the fight, does a pretty bang up job, but Beatrice knows it’s not enough, not when it comes to Adriel.

Anyway let me know what y’all think! Happy to expand on anything but also just happy to have y’all reading along <3

[yellowjacketsfashion]

:) what you do is honestly so impressive, can i ask what your strategy is or some of the steps u take (bc im curious, not asking for an extensive tutorial or anything lol)

Thanks, I try my best! :)

For the most part I use Google’s image search to find items (though Pinterest and Ebay have similar programs that do the same kind of thing). I usually start with a good photo of the item I’m looking for, in this scenario I’m going to use tomorrow’s item as an example.

In this instance we’re looking for Lottie’s pink sweater (Top Left Image). I then click the camera icon and crop the image down to what I’m looking for (pink sweater).

The search will give me results and I look through them to find a similar item (bottom left image shows examples). In this instance, the sweater is really distinct and so it’s not that difficult to point out. The bottom right image shows that I’ve found it on ebay. From there I’d save the original image of Lottie wearing the sweater and a screen shot of the found item and crop them both to be square photos for my post. I’d copy down the found item name and add that underneath the photos on my post before putting it in my queue!

Sometimes items aren’t as easy to find (usually because I can’t find a good picture) and so I have to resort to typing out descriptions of the item. If I was doing that for Lottie’s sweater I’d probably say “pink houndstooth striped sweater” and hope it comes up in the results.

If it doesn’t I usually add what I call “mall stores” to the end of the search to help find it (so like Zara, Forever 21, Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, etc.) I’ve found that at least for the younger cast, items are mostly from stores like that and depending on what the item is, I can usually narrow it down based on the clothes these stores usually carry. What I like so much about the Wildreness wardrobes though is that because they needed multiples, pretty much all the clothes are modern and so I don’t have to look for vintage (which would make this whole thing significantly more time consuming). The older cast is a little harder to find stuff for because as a younger person I’ve usually never heard of the stores their stuff is from or I haven’t shopped there to know what they sell. I know some of the adults also wear vintage clothes and that can also make it harder to find an exact match (though they did use a lot of vintage in the Pilot for the pre-crash scenes apparently).

Some of the hardest items to find are usually flannels and striped shirts (which Yellowjackets has no lack of) due to the colors and patterns being difficult to pick up in the Google searches. Though, because they’re patterned they are usually easier for me to visually identify when I find them. Solid color items are harder because they could literally be from anywhere (this is why I have like no Travis finds). Plus, because I’m looking for items the costume department bought years ago, I’m usually at the whim of people reselling their old clothes online. Over all though, for some reason Adult Taissa’s clothes have been the easiest to find? I think it’s because they’re pretty much all designer and there’s more monetary value in reselling those rather than a forever 21 t-shirt you bought 2-3 years ago.

Besides my own finds I also repost other people’s finds or listings from sites like Spottern and Shopyourtv.com to help add to the content I publish on here. I find those posts to be good filler and helpful for me because it usually makes up for my lack of Adult Yellowjackets items.

In addition, I read/listen to interviews with people like the costume designer because they’re really insightful and usually provide inside information that can help me find items (or give me fun facts).

I know you didn’t want a tutorial but looking back I think I kind of gave you one. I think i covered everything but let me know if you have any other questions! I’d be happy to answer! Either way, I hope you found my process interesting! :)

(Edit to say that Laura Lee is hands down the hardest person to find stuff for because all the clothes are modest and I kind of think the costume department didn’t get them from the stores everyone else got clothes from. Idk though but that’s just my thought.)

TV-unit serials in the setting for my fics

(Link to my fics is in my pinned post.) I'm not setting out to create an AU; my fics are meant to be canon-compliant in the sense that 'DFB never says it can't happen this way'. I'm just having fun making up extra details that probably won't be covered in canon.

Most TVs have 4-digit serials, which are procedurally-generated. Serials below 4 digits are manually assigned.

1-digit serials:

0001: The Imperator (the term I use for the Matriarchs in my fics)

0002: The Titan

These would be rendered verbally as 'triple-zero-one' and 'triple-zero-two'. These two units very rarely need to reference their serials because of their status; everyone already knows who they are.

Serials 0003 to 0009 are currently unused.

2-digit serials:

Currently Polycephaly has the only 2-digit serial: 0010, rendered verbally as 'double-zero-ten'. Again, Polycephaly rarely has cause to refer to themself by serial. Being the only large unit in their faction makes them pretty distinctive.

Serials 0011 to 0099 are currently unused.

3-digit serials:

Currently not in use. Serials 0100 to 0999 are available and will likely be allocated for research/experimental purposes.

4-digit serials:

As used by standard TV-units.

While it is physically possible to build a TV shell, load a new software brain into it and power it on, this is not recommended and not done. A unit built in such a way would likely be forever a stimulus-response machine rather than developing full self-awareness or much of a personality, would likely have poor control over its screen powers, and would not necessarily even be loyal to its own faction.

Instead, units are 'born' as software in server farms called 'creches', where they start off as simple programs and gradually bootstrap themselves into self-awareness, moving onto simulated training until they're ready to be uploaded into actual hardware bodies. In this way, you end up with a unit with a proper theory of mind and personality, that's loyal to its faction.

(I am assuming the above is also true for Cameras and Speakers, but I haven't explored this in my fics. I think the TVs must take longer to create given that there are comparatively few of them, perhaps because they have all their screen and teleport powers to master before they can be allowed to let loose with a real body.)

The 4 digits are allocated as follows:

Corresponds to the creche (server farm) number.

Random digit.

Corresponds to the day of the month of activation (placed into a hardware body).

Corresponds to the server number within the creche.

Cygnus, for example, has the serial 5022 (rendered verbally as Fifty-Twenty-Two). This tells us they were generated in server 2 within creche 5, and were activated on a day ending in 2 (the 02nd, 12th or 22nd). The zero is just a random identifier to distinguish them from any other TVs that happened to be generated on the same day from the exact same server. (This has yet to happen in practice. It's rare for more than 1 TV to come into existence on the same day. Plus, most of the nascent softwares will simply error out of existence rather than become sentient.)

The Titan's chief engineer has the serial 1668 (Sixteen-Sixty-Eight), and the Titan themself had the serial 1791 (Seventeen-Ninety-One) when they were a normal pre-Titan unit. This tells us that both the Titan and its main engineer were generated in the same server farm (1), but on different servers.

(I've no idea what system the Cameras and Speakers use. I'm inclined to think the Cameras just have sequential serials because they're squares like that.)

The Imperator's (TV Matriarch's) two bodyguards have the serials 1153 and 1566, but they are a rare exception, as these aren't their original serials. There were 16 candidates for being remade into the Titan, and the two bodyguards were 2 such candidates. All the candidates had their serials expunged and new ones allocated, so that no-one (besides the chief engineer and the Titan themself) would know which candidate had become the Titan. The two bodyguards have hypothetical serials (as do the other 13 candidates that were considered for Titanhood).

Feel free to steal any parts of this you like for your own OCs/fics; I don't own the concept of allocating numbers.

Moon and Appearance, Pt. 4 featuring the diurnal luminary ruling the first house —> Leo Risings (Libra-Pisces Moon)

⏰ picture descriptions in order clockwise starting @ top left

I tried using charts with confirmed source birth times but there are a few with no confirmed source or conflicting sources.

Leo Rising/Libra Moon: Emma Stone, Julianne Nicholson, Betty Grable, Maya Angelou

🌙 “upward turned” shaped eyes

👄 All seem to have a fairly prominent “V” mid-upper lip right?

👑 They all have their moon in the third place with this placement, where it has its joy. Literal goddesses.

👃🏻Cardinal moon noses are a vibe (why am I obsessed with noses) plus they have the blessing of air influence so the ✨cute button nose syndrome ✨

🌺Their eyebrows are very nice and balanced as well, like the scales ♎️ not too thin and not too thick —> perfecto

🌚 All the smiles feel very authentic, like they know how blessed they are; they seem very gracious

Leo Rising/Scorpio Moon: Alanis Morissette, Kate Moss, Julie Christie, Selma Blair

👁️”Downward-turned” shaped eyes

🫦Fuller lower lip

🌗Simply having these two placements means you have AC square Moon and thus might bring forward Scorpio energy moreso

🍋 “Not to be fcked with” energy

🦂Okay hear me out; the noses remind me of the end of a Scorpio tail then have the structure similar to a three-leaf clover ☘️ (copied from my part 2 with cancer rising/Scorpio moon)

👃🏻Scorpio moon noses seem to have a noticeable tip at the end like a Scorpio tail, whereas the cardinal moons just have this regal presence with strong integrity and foundation ♑️ similar to the cap symbol. Reminds me of the strong foundation in a house, idk. 🏠

📁I find it interesting that none of them are smiling with their teeth. Scorpio is so controlled and understated; the least likely to ever appear overeager I feel.

Leo Rising/Sagittarius Moon: Laura Nyro, Françoise d'Eaubonne, Valerie Harper, Melissa Joan Heart

🖤 I think this is a fairly obscure placement for celebrities. Melissa Joan Heart was the only one I had heard of.

🌸Shout out to Clarissa Explains It All though. That show was my jam growing up.

🍋 Almond eyes (but I was singing it in Meg Myers’ Lemon Eyes🎤)

🌈I feel like mutable moons have features that truly vary based on other placements due to its nature; very unique

🌼I get really girl next door pretty vibes from these folks

🔆Their faces truly light up when they smile

👙I like how they all look at the camera in a similar manner; they seem to be very authentic and enjoy helping everyone feel seen.

Leo Rising/Capricorn Moon: Miranda Lambert, Ashley Tisdale, Ayla Brown, Connie Britton

🔥HOT

🛝I got super excited to see Connie Britton pull up on this; I love her!! (AHS S1🎃) and no surprise she’s an Aries Venus

🥊Really intimidating tbh. I think the Sun and Saturn are both pretty intimidating due to them both being associated with the father and that sort of domineering paternal presence. Because of this, I feel like men might be really intimated by these women. Absolutely no tolerance for weak, cowardly men. ✋🏻

🦷Gregarious and bright smiles; so much life behind them

👃🏻 I told you Cap Moon noses are a vibe. I am watching Sopranos and I was like bet James Gandolfini has a cardinal moon (he does). They truly resemble the Cap ♑️ symbol

🐣They all have sort of petite faces, no?

👄 Even top and bottom lips

Leo Rising/Aquarius Moon: Glenn Close, Ashley Judd, Jessica Alba, Jessica Lange

2️⃣Both Jessica’s have Taurus stelliums, including domicile Venus near the MC/tenth

🐏Ashley has an Aries stellium, Glenn has a Pisces stellium

🎃 And would ya look at that, another AHS core cast member. I love Jessica Lange and am lowkey enamored by the woman’s beauty. (How does she just continue to get better looking?! ♉️ stellium)

🥡I was expecting to see more solid features here due to the fixed nature of both Leo and Aqua, and I was right.

🪩Rounded square face shape

🔪Intimidating in an intelligent way, like they can slay you with their words

🥊Same here with men because Saturn rules Aqua too. I feel like men want these women to sit still, look pretty and are fiercely disappointed by their strong will and autonomy

Leo Rising/Pisces Moon: Lisa Marie Presley, Jennifer Jones, Stephanie Wilson, Ava Gardner

🌃Intimidating in a soft, ethereal way

🍭Why do I always get lost daydreaming when I look at Pisces moons?

🍍Their eyebrows all have a similar sharp “V” at the top; thinner but perfectly framing their pretty eyes

🧙🏻Mysterious vibe

👄 Lips are prominent; puffy? Lol

👀It’s the eyes that catch you though

Full Moon

So as @sirfrogsworth pointed out yesterday, My D600 had a case of SENSOR DUST.

You can see the spots here. Shooting at a very high aperture, like f/22 seen here, will make them stand out like a sore thumb. The D600 had a reputation for being particularly bad at this, throwing oil on the sensor to the point where Nikon offered a free shutter replacement, and eventually scrapping the 600 all together in favor of the D610, which was essentially just the D600 with an upgraded shutter.

Learning the history of the D600 after I'd already placed the order, I quickly added a full-frame sensor cleaning kit to my toolkit. It's a pack of single use swabs and a bottle of cleaning solution you can dole out by the drop. Why the main cleaning kit came with just a spray bottle, I cannot explain.

Anyway, two drops of solution, one pass in the same direction with each side of the swab later, and...

Much better! Both shot with the 50mm f/1.8D @ f/22, btw.

Fast forward to evening. I work nights, so it's just after breakfast, and I have the night off. It's about a 40 minute drive into the city and the West End Overlook. I go there a lot, because it's a good place to put any new knowledge into practice and compare it to previous visits. Plus, I spent good money on that Manfrotto tripod, and want to get use out of it.

Tonight was a full moon, which was both good and bad. You'll see in a moment.

For the most part, I'm shooting f/5.6 at ISO 200 aperture priority. Why? Because that's the combines result of assorted googling and photography book reading on night photography.

Once more with the moon in the shot.

Thanks to the full moon, Lightroom is a little bit confused. The sky is way brighter than it actually is...

Never mind the shaking, that was just a phone pic to tell friends what I was doing at the time. But it shows what it looked like in real life.

I started looking through my presets, but nothing really came close to rendering an accurate version of the scene.

I think that second one comes close maybe? I usually just stick with Auto, but Auto isn't doing it tonight.

I moved on to the Duquesne Incline Overlook. Not seen here, but I'm starting to run into a little bit of gear trouble.

And one in 16:9.

I moved on to Station Square, and here's where I ran into a problem. The 28-70mm lens did NOT want to autofocus on the buildings across the river. I fiddled with settings, turned the camera on and off, and even removed and reseated the lens. Could not get it to play nice.

So in order to salvage that stop, I broke out the 50mm f/1.8D that has mainly just been along for the ride when I go out. Tonight was it's chance to shine.

Oh, and that autofocus issue? Just out of shot here is a tall iron fence. Tall enough that I had to raise the center pole of the tripod a good foot to clear it. The camera STILL kept wanting to latch onto it for focusing. So it goes.

A few years ago I took a short course in Photoshop sponsored by WVU as part of Continuing Education. I should see if any of the local unis have anything similar for Lightroom.

This is Life

Part I

Number 248 it’s your turn. Here thank you, oh okay I can do this it’s just another day pretending I can do it. As I entered the room my mindset changed drastically and put on my famous smile , hi I’m y/n I’m so excited for this opportunity thank you so much. It’s lovely to meet you y/n we’ve heard so much about you now for the important part we would like to see your walk please. As you prepared yourself to do your very known differ model walk one of the agents asked “sorry can we do it without the heels first” um yeah sure you said. As the music started playing in your head more specific maneares by Nelly Furtado, you stated to do your thing and in less than a minute you got the part! You finally did it a dream that seemed to good to be true. In just a couple of months your life change drastically you were now the it girl for Calvin Klein. Everything seems like the dream right what could go wrong.

——————————————————

Good Morning Sunshine!!! Can you please get yourself together we have to be at time square in 2 hours. Your agent a close friend Liv stormed into you apartment screaming. Ugh hey yeah I’ll take a shower you can grab my phone order some bangles, and just to be sure I won’t be doing any press today right you asked scared of the answer. No honey just do some poses for the paparazzi and take some pictures with fans. Great thank Liv for everything you said with a very forced smile. Everything was going well until you got a very intriguing notification on your phone, @JackHarlow stared following you

HOLY SHIT you said out loud, now sitting on your bathroom stall taking everything in. Huh who would’ve thought that your teen crush would follow you back. Trying to remain calm while getting ready you couldn’t help but smile a lot which caught liv’s attention. What are you smiling about now don’t tell me there’s a boy or anything like that. You couldn’t help it but laugh a bit, actually yeah someone very special to me started following me on instagram, can I know who this someone is? Hmm promise not to do anything crazy if I tell you who he is? What ofc I only care about you and your surroundings so yes please tel me who. Okay okay it’s this rapper who you might have heard about his name is Jack Harlow, you didn’t face Liv only cause you could imagine her reaction. NO FUCKING WAY the Jack Harlow the one you cried about in our senior year of high school?! Yup that one should i say something a little hey what’s up or just let it be? Are you asking your friend or your agent honey. That broke your heart a bit suddenly everything clicked you were the new it girl and had to stay single and available for the media and the fans to love you. Um just forget I asked I forgot, a sad smile pressed on liv’s faces said it all, she got up to press a kiss on your hair and said it’s for your own good you know I love you and admire you but remover why we’re here it’s the price of fame.

———————————————————

Y/N here please! Smile y/n to this camera, Y/N are you single who’s got you smiling like that.

One, two, three, breath was all you thought of when you walked on the small carpet on time square, you were promoting the new line of Calvin underwear with what else than a huge spectacular of you posing. Your younger would be so proud to be one of the few plus size models to have not just a spectacular but many many covers of magazines. Once you enter the vip area all you could think about was getting a very cold and wrong drink at the bar. As you approach the bartender you could feel something on your stomach like if something was going to happen, hey could I get a cosmopolitan please with one olive, sure thing coming right up. As you were waiting on your drink you felt a large and cold hand pressed on your lower back that made you turn around, and no one could have expected this but no other than Jack Harlow was smiling at you. Hey I’m Jack we haven’t meet probably but I’m fan of your work been following you for a bit. Holy fuck um hello yeah I know who you are also a big fan of your work as you probably greeted him by kissing his cheek. Huh I heard somewhere that latinas always greet like that, guess I’m in luck right. You looked deep into his ocean eyes and studied his cute curls that made him look so cute. Mind if we take a picture he said while grabbing your hand to lead the way to where the photographer was. All you could thing about was how good your kids would look very creepy from just formally meeting Jack. As he placed his hand on you lower hip you turn to look at him with love eyes and for your luck that was the picture that immediately went viral of course you didn’t know that until after the show was done but in that moment you forgot about everything. And yes even about why the number one rule of your life at the moment was no dating, no hookups, no relationships at any cost. Guess we’ll see where this goes now that that picture was in everyone’s instagram.

u know my name lol n a jjk male pls,,, my fav thing abt the holidays is when it’s not too cold out (like a good 20-30°f) and ur in the city w the christmas markets at night n the streets are lit up w all of the christmas lights 🤭 it’s so homey n nostalgic + w christmas music playing on the speakers,,, u also know everything abt me but to help a lil for ahem *standard info purposes* i think my main personality traits r empathy, independence, n charisma,,, i like banter n teasing in a relationship + lots of physical touch/quality time,,, n i like feeling secure n spoiled by my man 🫡

i in fact do kno u dovie :o but it would be weird as hell if u didnt send any info lmfaooo. but thank u for participating sissy, for this wintery matchup up, i match you with:

NANAMI KENTO !

i can alr hear u saying he’s boring but! if you just lemme explain!!!!!!!! nanami kento is so so good to you. he lets you have your independence and lets you have your own space while also enjoying the fact that when you do reach out, it’s for him! he’s a bit more sarcastic/dry humor type and ik u like to talk and joke, so i feel like y’all would have such a funny like back and forth w his dry humor n ur humor!!! plus, he was an office worker so yak this man has a 401k! he’s gonna make sure you’re well taken care of and spoil tf outta you cause he loves you. trip to paris? he got u covered. need money for clothes? girl, take his card. he is so so so stingy w himself but ‘cause you’re his, he’ll spoil u so bad. this man would fs take u to the christmas markets as soon as he notices you looking at them in the car going anywhere, and it’s snowing out and the music is so soft and fuzzy and it’s just such a vibe. he buys you hot coco to keep your hands warm but also holds your hand to keep it warm. nanami is just … he’d be so good!!! i feel like he would just be such a good match personality wise for you.

“are you warm enough?” he asks, glancing over at you and your cute little outfit that you’d chosen for walking the night market. while very visually appealing, he also knew that it was thin in layers and he was concerned that you’d catch a cold or something. “i can buy you a scarf.”

your laugh is just another sound to mix into the bustle that is the christmas market, but it makes his chest lift as he hears it. he loves your laugh. “i’m alright, kento, thank you. it’s not really that cold out.”

your reddening cheeks and sniffling would say otherwise, but he also knows that if you really truly needed help, you would ask him. he’s content to wind an arm around you to provide an extra bit of warmth and relishes the feeling of you resting your head against him. “if you say so. are you enjoying yourself?”

you nod fervently, pointing to the giant tree in the middle of the little square that’s decorated in big red bows, bright lights and shiny ornaments. “can you take my picture in front of the tree?”

watching you run towards the tree, avoiding people walking by, he pulls out his phone and snaps a few candid photos, wanting to preserve this memory as much as he can. your figure in the camera turns and he smiles at the little pose you make.

jennie || on & off camera personality; tarot reading

✦ On Camera Personality:

cards: ten of cups, strength, hierophant (three of cups)

On camera, Jennie tries to come off as wholesome and put-together as possible, as she's extremely aware of her position and the responsibilities and expectations associated with it. This image, though, is almost too perfect; it's heavily idealized. She's trying to keep up a front that is flawless; the appearance of someone who has reached peak happiness in life. However, this is due to her wanting to avoid looking ungrateful or to give people more ammunition against her. At this point, she knows more or less what people like, and what will keep them from turning on her, so that's what she resorts to. It is very hard for her to get a foot out of the square she has drawn around her, which leads to her looking a little too restrained and unresponsive at times, but it keeps her safe - both idol Jennie and "real life" Jennie. At last, as much as she lacks vulnerability and raw emotion when she's on camera, she serves as a very good pillar of strength and as a stabilizer when everything/everyone else is disordely or overly emotional. Specially when she is around the other Blackpink members, she can provide some balance to make sure it all runs smoothly even when all of the members are pulling the rope in different directions.

✦ Off Camera Personality:

cards: ten of swords (moon reversed, ace of swords), king of pentacles, justice

When she's off camera, her exhaustion, anxiety and fears come all crashing down on her. Because she doesn't have to pretend to be perfect and happy any longer, she lets all of her walls down and surrenders herself completely to the negativity that she was forced to push away while on camera. Unlike Rosé (as we saw here), who is constantly going over these things whenever she's going about her normal life, Jennie might just let it all out in one big cry and move on. Truly, she just seeks to find clarity and peace of mind, so facing the dark side of her mind and heart is necessary for her in those particular moments. At the same, though, we can see that off camera Jennie is extremely dependable, stable and disciplined. She takes her commitments very seriously, both personally and in regards to her career. Plus, building long-term financial security is a very big focus for her, so she might spend a lot of her time creating connections and learning about new business opportunities that could help her achieve that goal. It might even surprise some people to see how much more serious and logical Jennie is in real life, compared to the image she puts out when she's on camera. She's a no-nonsense person, honest and fair; she has no problem letting her truths out, and neither is she easily manipulated by others.

✦ What off camera personality traits would she like to show on camera?

cards: four of pentacles, chariot, two of wands

I don't think Jennie has a lot more that she wants to show on camera, to be completely honest. She's pretty satisfied with the control that she has due to her image, and how it allows her to keep certain things private and away from public scrutiny. If anything, she'd just like to show more of her ambitious, disciplined and driven side - perhaps behind the scenes things, when she's making deals and leading a team in a creative project. Additionally, it feels like she'd enjoy if people showed more recognition for her vision and creativity, as well as for her potential outside of just being an idol. However, in that sense, she might actually be looking into finding ways to show that off in the future. It could be through a number of very diversified projects, or even through personal content (on her youtube channel, for example).

Shoot Breakdown - Xanetia Sunset Shoot

I generally only shoot over interstate con weekends, either at the event or side shoots at the hotel. Interstate location shoots are just too difficult given the logistics involved, in finding a location in a city I don't know well and the effort of getting around with my disability plus the con takes up most of the time and side shoots are squeezed in around the event usually in the evening. What I really want to do is more outdoor shoots with interesting backgrounds and beautiful ambient light. 

Every year I plan to get out and shoot more in Adelaide but while I know hundreds of cosplayers interstate I know relatively few people in my hometown.

So the plan is to try and shoot most weekends. With the beautiful warm weather at the moment, I planned a couple of beach shoots. One of the benefits of Adelaide is the coastline directly faces the setting sun so you get uninterrupted golden light.  I like to shoot at sunset because apart from the golden hour you don’t have to worry about cloud cover like you do earlier in the day and getting harsh overhead light from the sun and needing much more powerful strobes to combat it.

I've been trying to use different jetty's so they don't all look the same but the funny thing is most have identical railings and all look the same anyway but do have small differences, the main one is the seating design which is a major consideration. For this one, we chose Grange Jetty because the seats aren't indented or have handrails at the end. Like all beaches on a hot Australian weekend getting any sort of a park was near impossible let alone a disabled park near the jetty. Jetty’s are perfect in Adelaide because the lead to the horizon with the setting sun behind the model and create beautiful leading lines in the photo. 

We started shooting around 7.15pm (with sunset at 8.34pm), the sun was just to the left of the jetty so shooting a pose at the railing was almost directly at the sun. I started off at 1/1000 (above left is the very first test frame) and slowly worked my way up to the Sony a7iii's max shutter speed of 1/8000.

With the sun so harsh it wasn't until we changed the angle that we finally achieved a better balance between ambient and flash. With this type of photography, the basic rule is Shutter Speed controls the background exposure and the flash power controls the model exposure and it's getting a nice balance of the two to get the perfect shot.

Below you can see a final processed image along with the purely ambient light and the out-of-camera frame with flash.

The other thing you'll notice between the final and the out-of-camera is the corrected horizon line. The majority of shots have been corrected to have the horizon square to the image. Human beings generally prefer straight, levelled lines instead of odd angles. When you hang a photo in your living room, why do you want to align it perfectly with the ceiling, floor, or furniture? And how off-putting is it when you see and crooked photo? We just find straight lines more aesthetically pleasing. That being said you'll see some of the images here that don't have straight lines, there are either deliberate choices or the images aren't going to be output and are here to show some other element.

I was shooting with a Godox AD300 with a gridded Godox 85CM AD-S85S Deep Parabolic Softbox. I meant to take off the grid but forgot, so I would have lost a lot of light. I didn't have a second helper so I didn't get any BTS material but the light was being handheld on a pole like the image below from a shoot a few weeks earlier.

7.30pm - We moved to the bench seat and did a few sitting poses with the light to the right of the camera and using the sun as a hair/rim light. I don't generally like visual clutter behind my subjects like groups of people too close. It's ok if they're a good distance away and are artistically blurred by the depth-of-field into nice shapes. We had a number of frames where Xanetia looked amazing, with the perfect wind in the hair but there was a large group of people crowding the scene however I like the shot on the right because she is haloed by the people, a light pole, and two beautifully placed birds.

7.43pm - We then tried a few shots without the shirt. In this shot leaning forward, I didn't correct the horizon to accentuate the lean.

I was shooting directly into the sun and was maxing the camera out at 1/8000. I don't believe I've gotten anywhere near that before. I could barely see a hazy silhouette in front of me with the sun in my face so I have no idea what the camera focused on, especially at f/2.

8.00pm - Half an hour before sunset the light was finally coming to us with the intensity noticeably dropping. It's around this time you get the best mix of ambient and flash.

I love the first image with the leading lines of the jetty and its railing shadows heading to the horizon. Again the second image has a non-corrected horizon to accentuate the lean....or I just forgot

8.12pm - The next few are probably my favourite shots of the shoot. We added the white shirt and got beautiful rim light from the sun on the legs. By this time with the rapidly falling ambient light, you are constantly scrolling Shutter speed and flash power to compensate.

8.26pm - A few minutes before sunset the wind started to pick up which was perfect. I always want a lot of hair movement, it adds so much to an image. You want to take lots of images because everyone will be different and give you a wide choice for the one you find most aesthetically pleasing.

In the first image, I really like the angle of the face but the 90-degree piece of hair just looks awkward.

8.30pm - As the sun hit the water we swapped sides to get it in frame. At this point, the wind really picked up so much that my assistant had an issue holding to light too high but it had a good effect on the hair and shirt.

8.33pm - We turned the flash off and just used the ambient light to get some beautiful silhouette shots to show off the hair in the wind.

on ios we dont have as complex of a built in camera app, but you can change exposure:

you have three options to get to it:

1) tap the exposure button in the top left next to flash. it looks like a ruler with 0.0 above it by default. this opens the camera controls tray and takes you straight to the exposure slider.

2) tap the camera controls button at the top to show the camera controls tray, then tap the button of a plus and minus sign in a circle. this opens the exposure slider.

3) swipe up directly on the image. this also opens the camera controls tray. tap the plus/minus exposure button.

this is a different slider than the one you get when you tap on the photo and slide up in the yellow square. i'm not a photographer so i cant explain the difference between the two, but these effects stack.

outside of that, however, iOS has great photo editing abilities and can revive dead photos.

it took me less time to edit this photo than it did to write out the descriptive text for them. about 4 minutes. it's not perfect, but its far more accurate to how it looked to me.

tips for editing photos on iOS from your local non-professional photographer:

you probably want to avoid the sharpness and definition settings for most photography because they add harsh lines and its never where you want them. noise reduction is okay for making really zoomed in photos of text more readable alongside sharpness and definition, but generally not useful outside of that because it eats details and makes the image softer.

if your photo is pale/muted/flat OR if it's really saturated in a weird way, you want to look at the brilliance, contrast, highlights, shadows, saturation and vibrancy sliders. all of them. dont just rely on one or two. the photo above is actually a good example because it suffers from both problems - the sky's too saturated and the foliage is too pale. if your photo only has one problem, you should still look through all of those sliders. over contrasting a image that's only pale can introduce too much colour, while desaturating a vibrant image can make it paler than you expected.

sometimes some areas of your photo will change unexpectedly when you play with the highlight and shadow settings. this is an unfortunate fact of life and is down the the science of how we see light/dark vs how a camera does. you can balance these changes with the contrast, brilliance, brightness and exposure sliders.

as i understand it, black point is "the point at which a colour becomes black". lower numbers means the image gets "brighter" overall, while higher numbers means the image gets darker overall. this sounds backwards to me and always has.

vibrancy i believe refers to the distinction between colours while saturation can be considered a scale of between grey at lower numbers and neon at higher numbers. from what i can tell, vibrancy fixes the issue of specific colours being too bright or too dark in comparison to others, but saturation fixes the issue of the entire image being too colourful or not colourful enough.

warmth and tint are hue shifters on a scale of cold to warm and green to purple respectively. image too blue? make it warmer. image too purple or pink? make it greener! you might think that making a photo of a sunset warmer or more purple might make it look better, but often it looks more realistic if you do the opposite. the edit above is colder and more green than the original settings!

a common mistake (when unintentional) in nature photography in particular is overdoing everything. loads of saturation and high contrast and high highlight and low lowlights. maybe that's the look youre going for, but maybe it isnt. you can find out what this can look like by searching for "too much HDR". HDR means high dynamic range, and mistakes shown in those kinds of examples are from amateurs pressing "the HDR button" on their camera/editing software, or putting HDR settings higher than a photo needs. it mostly results in a cluttered looking photo with no clear focus point, unbalanced colours/light, and objects may appear to have a white or grey halo when this is particularly prominent. in some cases a higher dynamic range can look great, but overdoing it pushes the photo back out of being realistic.

again, i'm not a professional (i wouldnt even call myself a hobbyist, i just like taking photos of the sky) and the specific tips about direction or even the names of settings are for iOS' native photo editor only - some software call some of these settings by different names, or have the scale the other way around - but the general idea remains the same for any software.

also, photography is subjective! i absolutely love looking at the original version of my photo and imagining it as a background you'd see in some neofuturistic game or comic or something, even if it is still pale. and in my edit, i couldve made it more contrasting and still avoided the "bad HDR look". if anything, i think the photo is still too light in some places.

You know that thing where you see a gorgeous view (left) and try to take a picture of it, but your phone camera is a joyless fucking nihilist who refuses to see the beauty in anything and only sees this (right)
