I was tagged by both @wistereia and @morganlefaye79 to show some of my WIPs, thank you ♡
1. Mods for public release
I'm modding again for the public because I'm currently done with my personal projects and I need something creative and stressful to occupy my time <3 first thing is a face complexion for masculine-framed Vs since I don't think they have enough pretty-fying mods 🌚 that flattened out face (diffuse) is what a complexion looks like before it's packed and all those little details you see are painted on there by me; the freckles and moles, the lips, the undereye textures, I placed those there to try make a more realistic and textured skin. As you can see, it needs some work still, mainly fixing up the normals (the 3d texture of the skin) so that those skin details are more obvious. But I can do that easy peasy
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And I'm working on another set of tattoos for both feminine and masculine framed Vs; this set is a little different than most tattoo mods and I'm surprised there's not more mods in this style since it's hella popular everywhere rn. I'm not 100% sure what it's called but I think it'll look cool and kinda edgy™️. Again, needs some more work - fixing the transparency, placement, and some geometry. It's surprisingly hard to make a mish-mash of a bunch of flash tattoos look purposeful and organized who would've thought
Tumblr media Tumblr media
2. Two new side OCs that likely won't get too much screen time but are essential to a couple of main OC stories. Ilya and Mars are their names and they work for the same company Valen does, Ares Systems. They're essential for a couple of things and then I'm not sure what to do with them afterwards 🌚 I just like designing characters who look like they could potentially be extras in a final fantasy game I am sorry
I'll tag some mutuals and friends, but there's no pressure at all to share if you'd rather not or if you don't have anything currently <3 I'm not 100% sure who is currently working on something, so feel free to ignore this! @rindemption @noirapocalypto @spicyraeman @westealtoys @florbelles @daedricshrine @quickhacked @kharonion @timaeusterrored @adelaidedrubman @envergothash @mercymaker @vanoefucks @hazellblogs @laezelkliir @wilxfyre @humberg @mrdekarios @thedeadthree @ancientsigil @alphanight-vp @swanfey @ruinbringer @enverflymm @opaleyedprince @aelyosos @vincentmatthews @aggravateddurian @themermaidriot @feykiller @feypacts @togepies @medtech-mara

ok so we all know nesta loves sweets right and at one point maybe everyone also knows that nesta loves sweets so her canon suitors maybe eris or helion or even balthazar start sending her delicious pastries to the HoW and just as nesta is about to take a bite cassian's like "it's probably poisoned" and she just rolls her eyes but then she sees the puppy dog look on cassian's face and so she has to pretend that she doesn't even like them and cassian is all giddy again and goes "I'll buy you all the treats you want and you can even eat it off me" so she leaves the sweets for az, emerie and gwyn to enjoy lol idk kinda cute
Ok I took a bit of liberty on this one- kept the general premise but also added some *adult* content so warning for a bit of smut 😉
Also I see you all and your requests for more Nesta vacationing in the Summer Court. There will be more but I’m working through a couple more requests first!
“Decline,” Cassian growled at the House. His hand was three fingers pulsing at the exact angle he’d spent two mated years learning was pure bliss to Nesta and he really wasn’t in the fucking mood to deal with this again.
Males who were like him, brash and arrogant and cocky, tended to love things like this. Maybe there were males who would have loved how desirable their mate was. But Not. Fucking. Cassian.
Cassian wished Nesta had a hump on her back and a bunch of hairy moles on her face. Because he would love her the same that way, but maybe every other male in Prythian might just back the fuck off for one damn second. Then again, maybe not.
Nesta moaned underneath him, unaware that the silver wrapped package had even arrived. The House seemed to hum in its decline of his decline, refusing to get rid of the package until Nesta saw it. The House loved to remind him who their favorite was.
“Gods, Cassian.” His name on her lips brought him back in. What was wrong with him? A writhing, naked, sweat-slicked, glowing Nesta was underneath him and he was too focused on other males trying to steal her away.
Cassian curved his right wing under her back, the thin talon scraping against her hip and pulling another moan out of her.
“Nes, sweetheart, let’s-“
A massive thunk sounded through the room as the House picked the package up and slammed it down again. Nesta shot upwards, her peaked breasts bouncing as she lifted her whole upper body.
“What was that?”
“Nothing,” Cassian murmured into her neck.
Nesta quickly forgot Whatever the sound was as Cassian pressed his longest finger into exactly the spot he knew drove her crazy. Nesta moaned.
“Cassian.” She cried out as she tumbled over the edge. Because she knew he loved it. Loved to hear his name on her lips.
His name. His name. His name. No one else’s.
“This was the sound,” Cassian grumbled, easily lifting the far too heavy package onto the bed.
Nesta sighed. She’d learned a while ago that ignoring it just encouraged the males to send increasingly extravagant gifts. The most ridiculous of which currently resided in an open-roof stable.
Peeling silver paper back, Nesta rolled her eyes.
“Send this back to the Autumn Court.” The House didn’t move. “Fine,” Nesta snapped, “the note can say “I don’t like caramel.” But that’s it.”
The package of hand crafted, richly dark chocolate coated milk caramels disappeared in a heartbeat.
“You don’t have to send them all back.” Cassian pulled the covers up, climbing into bed but not wrapping his arms around her.
“Well I don’t like caramel so-”
“Nesta I made you lava cakes with a caramel center last week and you moaned louder than your last orgasm when you ate them. You love caramel.”
“I love caramel when you put it in front of me.” Nesta’s eyes darted up to Cassian. Hooded and intentional.
“I’m sure it’s just as good when Helion and Eris and Tarquin and Balthazar and-”
“You’ll run out of breath if you list them all.” Nesta rolled her eyes, adopting a new tactic. “I’ve heard this whole mate thing is pretty permanent. Like centuries, millennium, into other lives and worlds,” she smirked a little. “So if through all that time, you try to list every man who wants me you’ll suffocate to death for lack of breath. So I suggest we get over this quick.”
Cassian was smiling. Broad. Wide. Brilliant.
“What?” Nesta went on the defensive quickly.
“That means you expect me to be there.” Cassian finally pulled her into his body. Hand around her waist, leg thrown over her hip, one hand turning her face towards his. “In the centuries and millennia and other lives and worlds. With all those unlistable number of men trying to steal you away, you think I’ll be there.”
Nesta rolled her eyes, “Of course you’re going to be there, brute. You’ll be throwing rocks at them and crashing buildings down and I’ll be berating you every time you do and then we’ll both be screaming each other’s names against the House’s shields and that’s what matters, isn’t it?”
“You are so much wiser than me at such a younger age,” Cassian smiled. Moved his hand down to her neck and tipped her face up. Kissed her. “And I’ll get you as much caramel and chocolate as you want.”
“I thought sugar was bad?” Nesta smirked, “even a spoonful of it in my oatmeal could destroy a whole training regime and-“
“That was when you were a beginner. Sure sugar might slow you, but you’re so fast now that it doesn’t matter. And I’ll be here to make sure you eat real, energy sustaining food as well.”
“You have no control over what I eat,” Nesta scoffed.
“If I make more lava cakes I’m pretty sure I will have full control.”
“Hmm,” Nesta ran her foot up his calf, “I wonder if Helion has your recipe?”
“I’m going to buy you so much fucking chocolate you can’t ever eat it all in a hundred immortal lifetimes,” Cassian moaned into her mouth. “And then I’m going to send a pound of it back to everyone who tries to steal you away from me.”
“I love you,” Nesta whispered.
“I love you more.”
“This is an old fight.”
“Admit you lose then,” Cassian laughed.
“I never admit defeat.”

Daydreaming (all the time)
AO3 link
When Nico comes home and sees an two identical Thomases asleep on the couch, he discovers some new sides of his boyfriend. When Nico throws his car keys on the wall-mounted hook and sees Thomas asleep on the couch with someone sitting next to him, his first, anxiety-ridden thought is “he’s cheating.” But he quickly dismisses it, replacing it with his second thought: “I didn’t know Thomas’ brother was over!”
When Nico tiptoes to the couch to better see which of Thomas’s many brothers it is, his third thought is “ Thomas never mentioned he had a twin brother!”
Everything about the two men is identical except for their clothes- the way their lips quirked up into a small smile, the little mole on their chins, even their sleeping positions.
But his fourth and most conflicting thought appears when the man next to Thomas, clad in a purple shirt, black skinny jeans, and a black jacket with purple patches, wakes up with a jolt and looks directly at Nico.
“Uh,” Nico smiles. “Hi. Didn’t mean to wake you up sorry about that! Thomas didn’t mention his brother coming over- last-minute visit? Can I get you something?”
The brother pales (as much as he can, between how pale Thomas is naturally and what seems to be the even paler foundation the brother used.) and the black lines under his eyes, which Nico had previously thought were just bags from lack of sleep, suddenly stretch down to his cheekbones.
“I- uh- Thomas!” The brother stutters, his voice increasing to almost a shout when he calls Thomas’s name.
Thomas jolts awake, almost flying off the couch as he sits up. He looks around wildly for a second, his hair flopping into his eyes before he looks up at Nico.
“Ah! Nico! You’re… home. Early. Is it early? Uhm, I, he- we were- uh-“ Thomas stutters. Nico had known him long enough that he only trailed off like that when he was particularly anxious.
“You never mentioned having a twin brother! That’s so cool!” Nico sits down next to Thomas as the brother stood up, moving to the stairs.
“Oh- he’s- we’re… we aren’t actually twins. Or brothers. Or related at all, actually,” Thomas rubs the back of his neck.
“Oh! A doppelgänger, then? Don’t worry, I still like you better,” Nico laughs. Thomas gives a small grin.
“No… he’s…” Thomas looks towards his purple-clad… friend? Nico wasn’t sure anymore. The friend sighs and nods before sitting down on the bottom step and crossing his legs. “I should just… show you. It’s hard to explain.”
“Oh, okay then. Er, what exactly are you explaining?”
Thomas took a deep breath. “Okay. Nico, I, um, so you know when you hear me arguing with myself sometimes? Well, uh, I’m arguing with him.” Thomas pointed to the person on the stairs, who gave a smirk and a small two-finger salute. Nico gave a slight eyebrow raise as he noticed the eyeshadow had gotten darker and even more caked on, almost looking like black tears.
“And, uh, he’s not the only one,” Thomas continued. “That’s Virgil, and there’s Patton, Roman, Logan, Ja-“
Thomas was cut off by another voice chiming in.
“Yes Thomas, please do ruin my entrance. I love it when that happens.”
Nico whipped around to see who had spoken and did a double-take as he saw who was standing in front of the blinds. It was another person who looked eerily similar to Thomas- well, on half his face, anyway. The other half seemed to be a snake? And to top off the look, the snake-faced man was dressed in a getup similar to what Nico imagined a Victorian-era vampire would wear; a black capelet, black tunic, and a black bowler hat with a yellow band.
“Who-“ Nico started but was cut off yet again by someone else appearing right next to Snakeface. The newcomer gave a bright smile towards Thomas and then turned to face Snakeface.
“Hiya Janus! Um, you’re in my spot again… I’m sure we can share, though!”
Janus- an odd name, but weirdly fitting, Nico thought- rolled his eyes. “Patton, congratulations on being the second person to ruin my entrance today alone,” he drawled.
“What entrance? Thomas already knows all about you- oh!” Patton suddenly looked directly at Nico. “We’re doing this now? Hi Nico!” Patton grinned and clapped, while
“Ah, Thomas,” Nico whipped around yet again to see who had appeared next to the stairs. “And Nico. I suppose you are doing this now.”
“Not without me!” Someone else sang as he appeared in front of the couch.
“Boo!” Another shouted from… behind the TV? All of the other Thomas Clones screamed, and the newcomer clad in green with what seemed to be a mustache sticker taped on.
“Okay… what’s happening? And… Why do they all look exactly like you?” Nico asked cautiously.
“Okay,” Thomas took another deep breath, holding this one for several counts. “So… these are all the guys I argue with when you hear me arguing with myself. And I actually am arguing with myself, because they’re all me, but- agh, this doesn’t make any sense.”
“Allow me to explain, then. Hello, Nico. I am Logan, the representation of Thomas’s logic. We are what he calls sides, for the alliteration I presume. We each represent a portion of his personality, in a way. I am every fact he’s ever learned, his critical thinking, curiosity, and the only reason he graduated college with a chemical engineering degree. And then proceeded to waste that degree, but that is not today’s discussion.”
“Not true! Remember all the argumentative papers? That was all me!” Janus glared.
The other Thomases broke out into an argument and Logan rolled his eyes- Nico could have sworn he saw an orange tint- and Thomas gave an apoplectic look.
“Sorry about… that,” he gestured.
“Do they- you? Does this happen often?”
“Yeah. Sometimes they mix it up and argue in song form.”
Nico looked around the room and nodded. “So they’re all you? Is it like a superpower or something?”
“No, I don’t really know what it is. They’re all imaginary, so I don’t know why you’re able to see them… I knew if you were somehow able to see them I’d tell you, but…” Thomas trailed off.
“But what?” Nico prompted.
“I didn’t want you to think I was weird.”
“Hey, don’t worry- if no one was weird I’d think we’d all be pretty boring. Besides- this actually makes a lot of sense.”
“Yeah- wait, what do you mean it makes sense?”
“Well,” Nico gave a nervous laugh. “I’d seen a bunch of stuff moving on their own, flashes of color out of the corner of my eye, even heard voices a couple of times. I was nearly starting to believe in ghosts!”
Thomas chuckled. “I never even thought about that! Well, I’m glad I haven't scared you off yet. I didn’t scare you off, right?”
“It’ll take more than figments of your imagination to get rid of me, Mr. Sanders,” Nico smiled and planted a kiss on Thomas’s cheek, smiling as he flushed a bright pink. “Now come on, I’m going to bed. Pack up your… you’s … and join me.”

Steamy Waters — Jimin
Tumblr media
Pairing: Jimin x reader (nicknamed Princess)
Wordcount: 7.1k (to be edited when my eyes aren’t bleeding)
Genre: NSFW, pwp, smut, slightest crack. Established relationship, Idol!AU
Rating: so 18+ I feel bad at age 22. 
Hello ladybirds! Welcome to the Steamy Waters scenarios. 
Let me move very quickly to the plot (I’m super late in publishing this — yes, it’s 7am, I stayed up all night but I was having fun🤭🥴). Well, it’s been a while since Jimin has returned from the tour. Princess is supposed to meet with Vixen and Lace — Girls’ Night squad is back — for dinner and is missing only a few details before leaving when Jimin presents his counterarguments. Too benevolent to leave him sulking — and too vulnerable to his charms — Princess decides she has enough time to indulge him. Of course she ends up being late to the appointment, but she’s not the only one. 
TRIGGER WARNINGS: well. Swearing/slurs (used between girls who are joking among each other) Also, there’s a generic mention of drinking wine and tipsiness at the end of the piece. Hard dom!Jimin (Sir), bratty sub!reader; use of non-verbal safewords; very mild degradation (mostly patronising acts and hinted objectification — Jimin calls reader ‘doll’; very, very mild dumbification); masturbation, both male and female, clitoral vibrator; oral, male receiving, brief female receiving; the oral male receiving is pretty intense (includes ruined makeup, gagging, tearing up, wrist pinning and wrist bondage), facefucking; plenty of voyeurism (mirrors. Mirrors everywhere); marking (with lipstick) female and male (milder) receiving; lipstick and make up fetish; spanking with a hairbrush; partly accidental exhibitionism through phonecall (the girls are telling each other they’re gonna be late but a bunch of things go wrong so all the phonecalls end up exposing the characters and their current debauchery); playful mention of foot fetish (licking, it’s contained in a joke). FINALLY, AS USUAL, UNPROTECTED SEX WITHIN AN ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIP! NO, DON’T DO IT UNLESS YOU AND YOUR PARTNER(S) ARE TESTED AND CLEAN. 
Features: Namjoon x Vixen; Taeyhung x Lace. Yes. The Girls’ Night squad is back and this time it’s not Vixen’s turn to cause trouble.
Here is my masterlist!
Enjoy!!!
———————————————
Jimin was sulking.
Old news.
That brat is a professional sucker… ahem, sulker.
Anyway, he was sulking in the bathtub, the lower part of his face hidden under the bubbles, his stare so vicious he could have probably thrown very sharp daggers with it.
“It’s just one dinner.”
“It’s Saturday night! What about you join me in the tub we do our full skin care ritual and I fuck you senseless on our bed.”
“Please, the girls have been so kind to me. We have planned this dinner weeks ago.”
“I am less important than your friends?” Jimin opposed, sitting up and crossing his arms.
Dammit, you were walking in very dangerous territory. “In this moment you are a tiiiny millimeter less important than them. Very tiny millimeter.”
“Are you serious?”
“Jimin,” you begin to say, trying to make him understand. “We have the rest of the week. I owe them.” You told him. “We are always so busy, we can never meet up, plus with you guys’ crazy schedule we need our own debriefing. Let me have my time, baby.”
“So you prefer staying by yourself rather than spending time with me?” He said.
“That is not what I mean and you know it.” You replied, frowning, sitting at the vanity.
You opened a small drawer.
Oopsie. Wrong one.
Unless?
You checked your watch noticing that you had an hour left. You could make it a quick thing. Something to make Jimin quiet and willing to let you leave the house with the excuse that ‘the sooner I leave, the sooner I’ll be back’.
Sure, your brain might have been slightly confused by the thought of him naked in the bathtub, and the scent of his body wash, and the sexy way his elbows were propped on top of the edges of the tub, the water sliding down his perfectly toned, smooth chest, his head thrown back, wetness glittering on his plump, luscious lips.
His eyes opened. “Fine. Go.” He said, and his voice was grumpy and sad.
You couldn’t leave him like this. Still, it wasn’t important what he said specifically. The only thing you noticed was his dulcet timbre, like a siren calling you.
Without even precisely knowing what you were doing exactly, you took the small seat in front of the vanity and the tiny, powerful toy inside your drawer; you walked to the side of the tub, placing the chair there and tugging your pencil skirt up, exposing your panties. The mirror behind the tub offered your reflection to your unsure gaze, making you move your eyes away.
Of course Jimin noticed. Of course he stayed quiet.
He’d much rather watch you undisturbed as you bent forward, pulling down your panties and sitting down, your skirt bunched up in your lap as you spread your legs and propped your feet against the edge of the tub, dragging your toes against his elbow to catch his attention. He would boost your confidence later, when it mattered the most to you.
“What is it?” He called, pretending he hadn’t seen what you were doing.
“You’re not interested?” You asked, switching on your finger vibrator, a tiny device with a silicone band that wrapped around the back of your digit and a thick, bulbous head on the other side, a vibrator embedded in the thicker part, with the specific aim of making the ridges and patterns on the head repeatedly stimulate your clit.
The sensation was immediate, rubbing it up and down your slit a couple times, you managed to capture Jimin’s ears — and eyes, soon after.
“Princess?” He called, staring at you, your hand wandering and finding purchase on the bathroom counter.
“Yes?” You moaned sultrily.
“Don’t you need to go out with the girls?” He asked, his eyes hypnotised by the motion of the toy moving back and forth from your clit to your hole and back up.
“I thought I could give you this, as a treat.” You said, licking your lips.
“A very generous one.” He replied, licking his lips, bracing his forearms on the edge of the tub, settling between your open legs and placing his cheek on the back on his hands, staring, completely mesmerised.
Your breath was becoming irregular. “How close?” He asked.
“Not too much.” You replied, removing your hand on the counter and placing it on your chest, palming it heavily.
His gaze climbed up to watch your flesh swell as you squished it. “Does it feel good?” He asked, untucking one of his hands to remove the cover blocking the drain of the tub.
Water started to rush out, his hand going from the drain to your ankle, drawing patterns up your calf, the other one lazily reaching for his length, tugging it a couple times.
Your eyes closed as you started feeling the edge of your high, the image of Jimin kneeling before you filling your senses, imagining him everywhere, all over you, his mouth on your nipples, between your legs, his hips smashing against your ass as he slammed inside you from behind, and his deliciously candy-pink cock in your mouth.
“I’m close.” You murmured.
His hand slowed down between his legs. As if it could go any slower.
“Cum for me, Princess.” He ordered. Still, siren voice.
A pattern of quick circles on your clit possessed your digit, your brain going on autopilot to the fastest way to pleasure. “Jimin, please.”
“What, Princess?” He replied flirtily, gleaming in cockiness as you were begging him without him even putting his hands on you.
“Please.” You called again, as pleasure overthrew you, your lips parting in one long, purring moan, first very high-pitched and then descending all the way down to your normal voice as you calmed down, focusing on chasing your high until it became too much, your eyes closing completely, your free hand reaching behind your, holding you up since the stool couldn’t be trusted much.
As you removed your finger — and the adjoined vibrator — you felt something wet and soft part your folds and titillate the tight ring of muscles at your entrance, still quivering with your fresh climax.
Your eyes opened, blinking a few times before you spotted Jimin’s wet hair below you, his head between your legs, body tucked in the small space between your body and the tub.
“Put that finger back on your clit. We’re not done here.” He said, placing one of his hands on your spine, on the small of your back, holding you up while his other arm went to his thick shaft. You loved looking at it, at how deliriously pretty it looked. You would gladly print a very big picture of it. Hang it in your closet. Stand there and look at it every now and then, with a glass of wine. Get inspired by the shape, length and colour. Find new ways to please him and torture him. Study every small vein on it. Every tiny detail. The small mole at the base — God only knows how a mole can end up there. And how it can make a cock look so insanely, unfairly pretty.
You felt crazy for it, completely devoid of your own will. And the way his hand left your back and caught your wrist, placing your buzzing finger on your clit made you even wilder.
“Jimin.” You called, your other hand ending in his hair and tugging him closer.
He chuckled mischievously. “Needy.” He said simply, before fighting against you trying to remove his head. You were too close.
It was all too much.
“Jimin!” You called again, desperate and embarrassed.
“Oh, no.” He said, moving his fingers away from your wrist and crooking his arm at the right angle before sliding two of his fingers inside you, his digits just the perfect measurement to reach your g-spot.
“Feels too good.” You mewled, removing your finger from your clit. Too much stimulation.
“Put that finger back in place.” He growled, his hand moving angrily on his own sex.
“Please!” You said, whining and whimpering.
“Back in place, Princess.” He said sharply.
Without room for opposition, you did as he ordered.
“Good girl.” He murmured as you cried out at your finger and his working you towards your second high. “You’re doing so well for me.” He added.
“I can’t.” You said, feeling your pleasure amplify in your abdomen. Suddenly your ears zeroed on the nasty, squelching sound coming from between your legs.
“Oh, you can, Princess. Keep going, sweetie. Sir’s waiting for you.”
He had entered dom zone.
Well, fuck.
You were officially done for the night. Especially when he pressed his chin to his hand, his tongue devilishly playing with your sensitive hole while his fingers stimulated your pulsating walls.
You came undone. His moaning turned in loud, thin moans, open mouthed breathing as he finally reached his high with a tight squeal that undid a knot in his throat.
You removed the toy almost immediately, the filling sensation inside your cunt definitely too much for your nerve endings.
He didn’t even notice, and when he did, he let it slip. You were deep in your second climax, making you sensitive and vulnerable, and he had no intention of overstepping any boundaries. Yet. His fingers slowed down, his mouth parting from you; his hand stopped at his base, giving a slow, strong tug at his shaft, milking out the last few droplets of his release.
“There you go. Has your treat been satisfactory, Princess?” He asked with a saccharine voice, most definitely trying to tease you with his bratty ways, or maybe gloating about him getting what he wants. As usual.
“Very.” You replied, pressing down the button on the ring and removing the toy from your finger.
He unhooked his fingers from your sex, sliding them out and licking one gingerly. “Nice.” He grinned in a dangerously endearing way. “Let’s clean up, yes? Can you stand?” He asked, gentle as always, standing up and quickly moving to the sink, washing up the remnants of your shared debauchery on his hands.
“I hope so.” You replied, grabbing a small towel and running it under the tap before cleaning yourself, drying your skin with an unused corner. You wore your panties and tugged your skirt down next.
“Would you like me to do your make up?” Jimin asked, looking at you in the mirror. “I’d like to repay you for the sweet treat. And I don’t want you to think I don’t support you going out.” He turned towards you, completely comfortable in his naked state. “Consider it my way of blessing your plans.”
And maybe bless your face when you come back home later and drool on my cock.
You smiled. “That’s nice of you, Jimin.”
“I’m always nice.” He said, rubbing a towel wildly against his hair before wrapping it around his waist, grabbing the small bench and putting it close to the vanity, strategically placing you so the light would hit your face enough for him to properly do your make up. “Sit, darling.” He said, patting the seat.
You followed his direction, checking your watch. Twenty-five minutes until you needed to head out.
“You already did toner, serum, lotion, all of that?” He asked, making sure that the canvas was at its best.
“Yeah.” You confirmed, wearing the small necklace he had gifted after coming back from the tour.
“You already wore your cream?”
“Yes!” You repeated, playfully cocky.
He swatted at your calf. “Don’t play cocky with me.” He reprimanded, matchingly playful.
“Primer.” He said, standing up, his perfect chest right in front of your eyes for the briefest of seconds. Then he walked behind you, removing the whole small drawer and bringing it with him as he kneeled down again, pouring a small amount of concoction on the tip of his index and middle finger. “It’s summer so I bet you’d like to stay light.” He said, touching the two digits with their twins on the other hand, only to draw tiny dots all over your face, and then using his devilish hands to spread the lotion. “Sorry, I prefer using these rather than sponges and stuff.” He said, but it was actually simply an excuse to touch your face.
The more touching he could do the better.
His goal was getting you going and any kind of touching on your face felt intimate enough to be more powerful than a booty grab or a whole body slam all over you at the moment. He just knew.
With his pinkie, he pushed back the small hair on your forehead. “You know what? Fuck beauty standards. Out there is damp like a swamp today, you should just wear some BB cream and stay fresh.” He said, kissing your head. “You’re perfect anyway.”
“Jimin.” You said, a tad emotional.
“And I don’t want men staring at you. You’d look too pretty with full makeup.” He said, leaving a ginger kiss on your lips. “I want you to shine as you are.” He said, grabbing a small compact hand mirror containing a cushion imbued with light foundation. He took a small puff and pressed it twice against the cushion before placing his left index under your chin, directing your face as he patted the puff against your face, distributing the lotion evenly.
“It contains mother-of-pearl powder. It will make you glitter like the princess you are.” He said, with a kind smile. “You already look like a diva, babygirl.” He said, twisting your head to the side before noticing a small blemish.
He stretched to the table behind you, your gaze focusing immediately on the small, solitary droplet of water rolling down his chest. A bit hesitant, you collected it with your tongue.
“Princess,” he warned before grinning. 
You were slowly, very slowly surrendering. He just needed to play the last few cards right.
With your concealing pen in hand, he fixed the red spot on your cheek, and another smaller one on your chin, blending them with the slightly damp tip of his pinkie.
You smiled and caught his hand, kissing the small digit before smiling. “Your hands are absolutely lovely.” You said. This kind of small reassurance was something you offered him daily, and even though he played tough and acted as if he wasn’t bothered by those details he so stubbornly called flaws, you still made sure his self esteem could always thrive.
“I assumed so, considering what they did earlier.” He stood up and — maybe — accidentally the towel fell, his cock standing proud in front of your eyes.
May goodness help you and God protect you.
You reminded yourself of dinner, of the girls waiting on you. I mustn’t. You told yourself. Still a part of your brain told you you’d be a fool if you didn’t took your chance.
But your chance had already disappeared behind the towel once more. “Sorry.” He said, standing straight after bending down to grab the cloth and fixing it back in place. He collected the small wooden drawer too, putting it back in place in the vanity.
Next he took your beauty case, making sure that it contained exactly what he was looking for.
This time he stood in place in front of you, his navel perfectly in front of your face. He found a small box and opened it, fishing out a miniature brush and running it against white, glittering powder. “Just a faint sparkly effect on your lids. Close your eyes.” He whispered sweetly, putting the powder in place, on one eyelid. Then the other. And then every touch disappeared. Before you felt his fingers tracing your collarbones. “Just for the extra sparkles.” He said, grinning viciously once you opened your eyes. It was indeed his fingers. Not the brush. He took his chance to widen the neckline of your white chiffon blouse.
“Tip your head back.” He said, this time more commanding.
A shiver ran down your spine.
You obeyed.
He took a dark eye pencil. It was something you hadn’t used in a while, preferring lighter make up, usually using simply dark eyeshadow to trace the line of your eyelid.
“Black pencil?” You asked.
“Be quiet. It looks so good on you.” He said, focusing on applying it evenly on both lids. “Look down.”
Right at his abs. Fantastic.
You prayed the other girls were being tempted just like you. Knowing Vixen and Namjoon, he was probably already halfway up her panties. And Lace… well. She’d probably had to change her outfit at least three times to hide Taehyung’s marks. You hoped they were late too.
There was no way you could arrive at the appointment in time with Jimin in this mood. And with your blood roaring in your veins, cursing you for each second you let him stand untouched before your eyes it was all a matter of time before it all went to hell.
“Eyes to the ceiling.” He said, “I’ll do your lower inner lid.”
“Jimin, that’s a bit aggressive...” You replied, trying to keep his hand from going anywhere close to your eye.
“You look so intense with the lower line too, though.” He teased, already tracing the corner with a slow, light-handed touch. “Just a bit. Come on, make me happy.” He said. And with that you knew precisely he was in the mood. Just like you were.
At this point there was no fucking way you could make it in time.
You stood perfectly still, the pencil too near to your eye, too dangerously close to stabbing it. “Jimin,” you called, as he moved to the other eye. “I’m gonna be late.”
“Don’t worry about that.” He already knew there was no way the other men weren’t in a similar situation. Knowing Taehyung, he probably still had Lace naked. Especially after what he’d told him about their sexy weekend.
“Jimin, please.” You said, exasperated.
“Baby, I know you’ll be the first one there, as usual, and you’ll have to wait for them all dressed up and pretty.” He said. “Chill. You can be fashionably late.”
He put down the eye pencil and picked up the silvery tube of your mascara.
“Just a teensy, tiny bit.” He said, “Look straight ahead.”
You mean at your hard on peaking from under your towel?
Your lips twitched nervously as you tried to look away.
“What is it?” He asked.
“I’m gonna put my mouth on it.” You said in warning.
“Don’t,” He replied, fixing the upper lashes on your left eye. He applied way more mascara than necessary before moving on to the other eye.
“Don’t bat your lashes,” he said with a focused tone as he applied the finishing touches, giving quick, teasing flicks to the lower lashes and came back to the left side, making the two match.
“Lipstick.” He said.
You huffed out a stressed breath.
“Lip liner to make sure your lipstick doesn’t smear at dinner.” He said, tipping your chin up and drawing his face dangerously close to yours, his hot, quick breath fanning over your face. “Stay still.” He said, tracing your cupid bow first, then covering all the way from the peak to the angle, mirroring the gesture on the other side.
Your lower lip was tricky. From the middle he drew the left arc, then the right one. No matter how hard he concentrated there was something harder calling his attention.
And the situation worsened when he felt your hand timidly brush the back of his thigh.
“No.” He said harshly, cupping your jaw and squishing it, making sure that you opened your eyes and looked at him.
“Why?” You asked, your hand still climbing up.
“You need to go.”
“You said the girls will be late too. And I should be fashionably late.”
“Princess.” He said, his voice growling in a harsh warning.
“Jimin.” You warned, mocking his tone.
“Stay put. Let me finish my work here.” He said, a bit frustrated.
Your lips were tempting him. And his brain was telling him to claim, claim, claim.
For the umpteenth time, he closed his eyes, inhaled and exhaled slowly and calmly.
He completed the weak spots on your liner before he inspected it.
He placed down the lip pencil.
He found your Chanel lipstick, uncapping it and focusing before placing the perfectly shaped tip against your upper lip, following the liner before completing the other half.
“Almost done, Princess.” He spoke gently. But his hand shook. Especially when he felt your nails tease his skin again.
“Princess.” He scolded eloquently.
“Jimin.” You called again.
“What.” He replied drily.
“I wanna be late.” You said, your palm climbing higher up under the towel and landing on his ass, squeezing a glute seductively.
“Let me finish.” He said, giving up.
You smiled before relaxing your lips, making them extra pillowy as you offered the lower one to him.
He tapped the red paste against the inner flesh before drawing half a line, then the other half.
“Pop them.” He said, as you started pressing your lips together lightly and making them sputter.
“Am I ready?” You asked.
Jimin smirked before his eyes turned sultry.
Looking him in the eye when he had that expression was too dangerous. He held too much power.
“No.”
He stared at the upper hem of your blouse, at the way it let your collarbones show with an expensive, classy bateau neckline.
Jimin stared at the front buttons. He placed down the lipstick. And started undoing the buttons.
You grinned. “Are you gonna make me get there late?” You asked expectantly.
“Quiet.”
You obeyed. Not like you had much choice.
He reached the lace of your bra, then undid more buttons, until he reached the waistline of your skirt.
“Arms out.” He said, making the delicate fabric of the shoulders slip past your wrists, letting the blouse fall around your waist.
“From now on, not a word. Are we clear?” He asked, making you look him in the eye. “Answer.”
“Yes, sir.” You said, obediently.
“Excellent. You move when I tell you. You move how I tell you. Yes?”
“Yes, sir.” You replied again. You were salivating at the idea of what he was going to do, how he was going to use you.
His hands moved to your bra, pushing the cups under your heavy breasts. “You’re my little doll, aren’t you? Sir wants you and your nipples pop up. I bet you’re wet between your legs without me even touching you. Are you wet, Princess?” He asked.
“I’m always wet for you, sir.” You said, offering him extra praise. Not like the statement wasn’t true.
He smirked and moved to the vanity once more, letting the towel fall for real. “It was an accident.” He said, mocking you, raising an eyebrow and shrugging. “Not like you mind staring at my cock, do you, Princess?”
“I love staring at your cock, Sir.” You replied, giving him absolutely no reason to complain about you or punish you.
“So hungry for it, little doll.” He snorted.
Once more the lipstick was in his hand.
“Who do you belong to, Princess?” He asked, stroking himself as his sweet, poisonous voice enchanted your ears.
“To you, sir.” You said, sitting with your back straight, your knees pressed together, your thighs squeezing in helpless arousal, your hands laying flat on your legs.
“What’s my name?” He said, licking his lower lip as a droplet of pre-cum appeared on his tip.
“Park Jimin, sir.” You answered, sharp and refined as he wanted you.
“Just my name, Princess. Say it.”
“Jimin.” You kept your eyes on your lap, not yet sure you were allowed to look at him.
“That’s right, Princess. Good girl.” He said, voice disturbingly neutral as he bent down.
He let go of his length, running his hand under the tap and drying it, oh-so-slowly, before he cupped your breast and stared at it, his expression focused and meditative.
He placed the tip of the lipstick on the left side of your breast, drawing an horizontal line. Two curled ones. A straight one. He moved to the other side. A rectangle. Another straight line. An L-shaped one.
“There. Stand up.” He said, placing down the lipstick and offering you his hand, helping you on your feet, making you stand in front of the mirror. “Who do you belong to, my beautiful princess?” He asked, standing behind you, his lips moving sensuously at your ear.
Right there, spelled on your chest in expensive, rouge Chanel lipstick, you found your answer, just like it was indented in your heart, mind and soul. “Jimin.” You read.
“That’s right, ____. Excellent job, doll.”
He turned you towards him and placed a gentle kiss on your lip.
“Now, kneel.” He ordered, smiling gently, however the command in his voice was icy and sharp.
You smiled shyly and obeyed. Once on your knees, you waited for his hands to feed you the tip of his cock, his precum making your lipstick glisten and stain his spongy head. You opened your mouth wider, lolling your tongue out in invitation, but he refused.
“Kiss it. I want it covered in lipstick.” He ordered. “Kiss it like it’s my face. I want imprints all over it.” He ordered.
And just like that it stood in front of you, exposing all the underside to your feverish and reverent kisses.
You were ready to beg for him to push it down your throat, desperate to feel the taste of him, to feel him there; then you remembered you weren’t allowed to speak unless he asked you.
You tried to talk the only way you could. Your eyes connected with his as you gave a gentle lick.
He snorted. “Want it in?” He asked, biting his lip and placing his hand on your head.
“Please, sir.” You begged: the easiest way to get what you want. You would never, ever beg for anything in your life. But for Jimin? You would lick the soles of his feet if he asked you to. Thank goodness he was too ticklish for that.
“Open up.” He said, grinning.
You assumed your position and waited for him to slide in. Holding your head, you felt his tip on your tongue, his hand feeding his cock into your mouth.
“That’s it, Princess.” He said, pushing inside.
Your hands naturally moved to his butt, leading him further in. You wanted to take him all the way, watch your lips print a nice red ring at his base.
“Hands in place, Princess.” He scolded.
You placed them lightly on your knees.
“Yes. Good girl.” He spoke through gritted teeth. He started thrusting in, your eyes watering as you felt your throat close up, hitting your knee noisily, twice, letting him know you needed to breathe.
“Okay.” He slid out, giving you some time to catch your breath. His fingers wrapped around his length, thumb, index and middle finger forming a ring sliding up and down the tip.
“Ready?” He asked.
You simply nodded and he let the small misbehaviour slip. He just wanted to sheath himself in the warm velvet of your cheeks, tongue and throat.
Once he bottomed out a new set of prints began forming on his pelvis, your hands coming for his hips, trying to slow him down as you began tearing up.
“Hands. Princess.” He roared.
You drew them back, shaking, trying to bob your head on him, wet droplets leaving your eyes and rolling down your cheeks.
And now the black eye pencil and mascara make sense. He wanted this from the very beginning.
Your hands pressed against his abs.
“Silent. Safeword. ____.” He ordered aggressively with a growl.
No. You didn’t want him to stop. You wanted him to snap.
You made to remove your hands, but instead you cupped his balls with your right one.
He drew out. “That’s it. Brat.” He walked to the shower wall, where your bathrobe was hanging. He tugged at the tie, whipping it out of the small hooks in anger.
���Lay down.” He said, minaciously as he walked to the vanity, picking up the lipstick again.
You crawled to the carpet in the middle of the room and did as he told you. At least you wouldn’t be met with the cold of the tiles.
“Ungrateful brat.” He said, placing two fingers under your chin and straddling your chest with his legs. “I let you go out. I made you cum. I did your makeup. I offered you what you wanted. And you disrespected it, and disobeyed me.”
He caught your wrists and pinned them over your head. “But maybe I didn’t offer you what you wanted.” He said, wrapping the soft tie around your wrists, making sure it wasn’t too tight, even though he was furious. He took two deep breaths before securing the knot with a flowery bow. “Maybe this was what you wanted, uh? Answer me, Princess.” He encouraged you.
“I want what is best for you, sir.” You replied, eyes imploring as his cock laid on your chest.
“If you really did that, I would already be done fucking your mouth and I could be slamming my cock in your disobedient, tight, creamy cunt.” He said, applying more lipstick on your lips.
“You better make me cum quick, brat.” He spat the words at your face, his legs moving to bring his hips closer to your mouth. He lifted his ass and propped himself on one forearm, his hand holding his cock before offering it to your lips for small kisses. “Your non-verbal safeword is snapping your fingers. Any number of snaps will mean ‘stop immediately’. I will slide out and let you breathe, then I’ll ask you if you want to keep going.” He said, using his tip to draw your lips, just like a tube of lipstick. “Understood?”
“Yes, sir.” You replied.
“Make me proud, Princess.” He said, before accompanying his shaft into your mouth and looking down, into your eyes, before he started thrusting. The movement was identical to that he uses to fuck you nice and good on your bed, his hips usually slapping against the back of your thighs, while now they met the skin of your cheeks, the blurred mascara coming down in thicker rivultets, making your eyes redden.
You were definitely a mess.
Jimin tried to stay focused on your hands, feeling pleasure but ready to ignore it or your safety.
His thrusts became more intense, your throat producing thin, panicked whimpers before he felt your fingers snap, two, three times.
He pulled out.
You gasped for air, your eyes immediately connecting with the black stains on his pelvis. Your mascara. Or eyeliner.
And the red on his sex. All over it. Staining his balls too. It was undoubtedly your lipstick. No natural blushing could do that.
“Are you okay, ____?” He asked, and you could tell he was out of his dommy character.
“Yes.” You replied simply.
“I’m almost there, love. Can you take it, baby?” He asked, worried.
“I can. I want to.” You said, nodding and reassuring him.
“Then let’s go, Princess.” Back in the game.
He was back in your mouth in a second, and this time you were sure you wanted him to dissolve in pleasure like sugar in coffee.
You used all your tricks, swallowing once he settled in, pumping him with your cheeks until you saw him lift on his tiptoes, needing closer, giving up on the fine grip of his knees to plank on top of you and properly stroke inside you as his head rolled back in a very improper, very loud yoga position, making his mouth spill a divine moan while his orgasm spilled inside you.
He gave a small series of the tiniest thrusts before going perfectly still, his moaning stopping. It was smart of him to own a house rather than an apartment. Way more feasible in terms of… disturbing noises.
He slid out of you quickly once he realised you were there, perfectly still, trying to save your oxygen and prolong his bliss.
“Oh, Princess, angel.” He said, quickly undoing the ribbon, descending down your body, straddling your hips and touching your face. “Can you stand up?” He asked, trying to fix the smudged line around your mouth.
“Maybe.” You said, hesitant.
“Come on, let’s try.” He said, helping you up.
“I want more.” You said, kneeling on the carpet, flinching at the sensation.
“That flinch is a reply enough. And you’re messed up. And late for the meet up.”
You checked your wrist. “Lace is always twenty minutes late. Please, one last thing.” You begged, looking at his sex, half hard. “Please.”
“You want to fuck or make love?” He asked, already touching himself. He could do one more. And it was you. All he needed to do was bend you over and watch your tits move as he ground his hips against yours.
“Fuck me.” You said.
He grinned sadistically. “In front of the mirror. Bend over and spread.” He ordered drily.
You smirked back at him and turned into his doll, becoming exactly what he had asked of you, your panties soaked by now, the only protection your skirt.
You were a mess as you looked at yourself in the mirror. His name barely smeared on your breasts, your cheeks made of tens of dark, dried-up rivulets, your mouth a ridiculous attempt at a clown look.
He tugged the hem of your skirt up, exposing your ass before slipping his fingers into the see-through, fine net of your panties, his fingers digging until the fabric ripped offering your slick, honeyed entrance to his eyes.
He stood behind you, the reflection intoxicating as he showed you a wooden hairbrush.
It was that wooden hairbrush. It was the one he liked being used on himself when the roles reversed.
It was extremely fitting of him to want to use it right in that moment, on you.
“Ten. If you don’t cum on my cock all you’ll have is your fingers while I touch myself. Clear?”
“Yes, sir.” You replied.
“Ready. Count.” He said, rubbing the smooth wood against your lower glute.
The smack was harsh. Violent. The sound was scary but the pain was divine.
“One.” You called.
He slammed inside you, his thighs hot with boiling blood as he thrusted in harder before delivering another smash.
“Two!” You almost screamed.
“That’s right, doll.” He said, bending down, teasing your ear. “How pretty my name looks on those tits.” He said, slamming into you, a few more times, the various objects laying on the bathroom counter shaking as he pushed into you.
What you didn’t expect was for your phone to shake that hard.
The screen lit up.
Jimin noticed it immediately.
“Oh. It’s Vixen.” He said. “Maybe she’s worried about you.” He panted at your ear.
No. No, no, no. You thought.
“Come on, answer, Princess.” He said, vicious and petty as usually. “You love your friends so much.” He smacked your ass, just with his hand, almost playfully. “You wouldn’t want her to worry. Answer.” He ordered.
Your hand shook as it reached the phone. Jimin stilled inside you.
You picked up the call. “Hi.” You said.
“Hi bub, lovely to hear you. I might be late.” She said, straight to the point, her voice way higher than usual.
“Late?” You asked, trying to speak as little as possible.
Jimin started to move behind you.
You shook your head. NO. No, please, no.
“Forty minutes. Also, tell Lace. She’s not—” squeal “—answering.”
A dark voice behind her murmured something. “Only forty minutes?” He teased.
Namjoon, of course.
“I’m… busy?” You said, just as Jimin pulled out and smashed the hairbrush against your right asscheek. “Three.” You said under your breath.
“Didn’t catch that.” Jimin said teasingly.
You tried to cover the microphone. “Three. Sir, I said three.” You knew you were very likely putting yourself in trouble.
“Joon, why am I not getting spanked?” Vixen asked on the other end of the phone.
“Brat.” He snarled before his voice disappeared again.
“____, dearest. My boyfriend is threatening me with his ten inch cock. I can’t make that call, sweetie. Please, call her.”
“She will.” Jimin answered on your behalf.
“Thanks, Min. Enjoy.” A final squeal echoed down the line before it fell.
Another smash.
“Four, Sir.” You said, feeling Jimin stroke in while sneering, his lips parted as your wet, slippery walls welcomed him with a rich, squelching sound.
“Call Lace.” He ordered at your ear, sweet like a mermaid.
You shook your head in denial, but at the same time you searched for her contact on your phone. The sooner, the better. You would be done embarrassing yourself, and he would simply focus on torturing you until you reached your orgasm.
You pressed ‘call’ and Jimin’s ears tuned in to the sound of the phone, making sure that he began to truly fuck you only once Lace picked up.
The calling sound went on forever. “Let me… She’s not answering. Please.” You said, looking at Jimin’s reflection in the mirror.
“Wait.”
The line went silent for a second. “Vixen, for fuck’s sake, she’s sucking my cock, stop fucking calling.” Taehyung roared.
Jesus.
“It’s me, Princess?” You said, using the nickname that all the boys used. Sometimes it felt ridiculous. Like in that precise moment, when your boyfriend’s dick was buried inside you.
“Princess, what is— mh… Yes.” Taehyung stopped for a second. “Sorry. Lace is busy. Might be late.”
Jimin stretched to the mic. “I knew it.” He said, talking to Taehyung.
“Jimin, get out of my ears.” He joked with his friend. “Can I please… Twenty minutes. She’ll be there in twenty. Thirsty— Thirty at worst.” He spoke before a low rumble came from the line.
You blushed.
Jimin started pushing inside you, trying to get a moan out of you.
“Mh—Meet in forty. Vixen late. Bye.” You said before closing the call, Jimin using that precise moment to start hammering into you.
“Let’s make this quick. We need to make you presentable again, doll.” He said, picking up your knee and propping it up on the counter. You were so wide open for him, his hips smacking lewdly against your ass. To go the extra mile, he grabbed your waist with one forearm and used the hairbrush again.
“Five? Is it… Five?”
“Yes, Princess.” You weren’t sure he was saying yes to the counting or your inner walls squeezing him.
His cock touched your cervix repeatedly with a neat pattern, two fingers reaching your clit. “Quick.” He said.
You managed to push back only three times before your vision went blank, your upper body collapsing against the bathroom counter, your hand pressed against the mirror as you tried to find purchase to keep you upright, to no avail.
Jimin whimpered a few times before he went silent and collapsed on top of you.
His cock twitched twice inside you, weakly. He was probably drained.
“Jimin. Thirty-five minutes.” You called. He slipped out, immediately trying to clean you up.
“You shower, I get an outfit for you. Try to save your hair. Make up remover in the shower.” He said. “I’m driving you.” He said, helping you unglue yourself from the bathroom counter. “Do you need something special, love?” He asked, stopping you a second to hold your face and kiss your mouth, no matter how messy it was. “Aftercare, baby.”
“Just help me get ready.” You said, kissing him again. “I love you. You’re fantastic. The best.”
His ego exploded. “Love you too. Let’s make Stickerella ready for the ball.” He grinned before rushing to the closet.
——————————————
Forty minutes later, you, Lace and Vixen met in front of a classy, sleek restaurant.
“Did you pre-party, Vixen?” Lace asked as the three entered the place, Vixen leading the way to the table. Her legs were wobbly. Very.
“You’re so much fun.” She replied with a fake laugh. Namjoon’s habits were starting to rub off on her. Not the only stuff being rubbed, you thought mischievously.
“Seriously, did you swap your left shoe with your right one?” Lace asked as the tiny woman showed them the table for three. She took a seat on the closest chair, biting her lip as she lowered her bottom. Her eyes closed and she swallowed noticeably.
You smirked, right before sucking your own lips, your ass hurting with the leftovers of the spanking. “You are both two nasty bitches and I am so proud of you.” Lace said with a wide grin.
“Fix your neckline, you classy whore. I can see your boyfriend’s marks from here,” Vixen seethed, still smiling, no offense in her words. Still, she ran her tongue against the edge of her teeth, taking a calming breath as she fixed her position on the seat.
You chuckled at their scene before clearing your throat.
They both turned toward you, waiting for you to speak before realising that you simply had a sore throat. Yeah.
“Please. let’s order wine. You both sound like Marge’s sisters in The Simpsons.” She said, laughing and shaking her head.
“You’re just envious because your gag reflex sucks.” Lace said, clicking her tongue before shaking her head herself in faux disapproval.
You snorted and tried to cover your mouth.
“Glad I’m everyone’s laughing stock.” Vixen said, fixing her hair.
“Your neckline, slut.” Lace said, once more addressing Vixen with a whisper, acting with the posed mannerism of a lady from a Jane Austen novel.
Vixen laughed herself this time. “How did you get out?” Vixen asked her.
“Baby boy fell asleep like a puppy.” Lace said, a dreamy look on her face. “You?”
“Something along that line.” She replied. “What about you, sweetie?” She said turning towards you.
“Jimin brought me.” You said, smiling serenely.
“He’s such a sweetheart.” Vixen said, smiling with her whole face, her eyes turning into pure affection. Again, she looked like Namjoon.
You clicked your tongue. “Everyone’s a sweetheart when they’re getting fucked right.” You said quietly.
Both women laughed.
“I’m just sorry Yoongi’s girl couldn’t come.” Lace said, a bit sad.
“Oh, don’t worry about her. She’s fine. Coming. In… other ways.” Vixen — her neighbour — quipped.
“My god, we’re nymphos.” Lace said, covering her face with her hands.
You shrugged. “Again. That’s the magic.”
By the end of the night, the three of ended up happily tipsy, toasting to your boyfriends and ‘doing things right’.

Speaking of comics (which is what I was talking about earlier today), one of the more recent arcs that just finished involving a certain red-haired spy got me thinking about certain cities in Marvel lore.
So we’re all very familiar with San Fransokyo, the city that Big Hero 6 calls home.  But how much does the actual city that it’s based off of (San Francisco) come into play? Turns out...quite a bit, actually.
The 1906 earthquake in San Francisco is still a thing, but there’s a couple different alternate explanations for the cause, on of which I found very interesting. 1.) A bunch of Mole Men were planning on invading the surface, but they wrecked the whole city and then retreated back down to their own world.
That’s not the one.
2.) In a one-off story in Uncanny X-Men back in 2009, a few of the X-Men traveled back in time to understand their origins.  It turns out that the Hellfire Club was blackmailing two scientists (Nicola and Catherine Bradley) into making a new energy source that ended up powering a prototype Sentinel. A new energy source? Now where the chuff have I heard that before?
Tumblr media
Oh right.  Because that’s what Lenore Shimamoto was doing.
Now, Shimamoto wasn’t powering up a Sentinel (as far as we know).  She was just trying to make the world a better place.  Then again, that’s what Nicola thought he was doing to for the Hellfire Club.
Tumblr media
Of course, that didn’t end up going very well. But the similarity is very eerie, at the least.
San Francisco was also the home of the X-Men for a brief period of time during that same run in 2009.  They needed a place to stay because of the Civil War that was going on between them and the Avengers, so the mayor, Sadie Sinclair...
Tumblr media
(Who we’re not even going to talk about how it sounds similar to Saito...)
Tumblr media
Gave them sanctuary off their coast.
San Francisco was also an invasion target of the Skrulls during the Secret Invasion, a Marvel event that just so happens to be getting a mini-series as part of Phase 4.
Several prominent superheroes also called the city home at one point, including Daredevil, his law firm, Electro, Ant-Man, and the person who I had been reading on for the day.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In her current run, Black Widow returns to her apartment in New York, gets kidnapped, and three months later she ends up in San Francisco brainwashed and with a husband and child. Long story.
But she does eventually pull herself out of it, and then we get greeted with the end page of the comic with her in a new uniform and a new tagline...
Tumblr media
What is the point that I’m trying to get to?
San Francisco has had its own events in the Marvel mythos, and I do wonder how much they could fit into a BH6 universe. But back to Nat.
Natalia Romanova/Natasha Romanoff is one of my favorite Marvel characters, and I have been asked more than once if I plan on adding her in some capacity to my Big Hero 6 stories.
The short answer is...not really?
Nat used to be one of those Untouchables for me.  It’s those heroes that don’t need to be in the story because they’ll overshadow everything around them.  The irony, as I’m sure you’ve figured out, is that Nat’s whole schtick is to not be in the spotlight.  So maybe she’d fit right into this world more than I would think. Now gradually, the idea of the Untouchables has waned over time, because I had no intentions of putting any of the Avengers in when I started writing BH6 stories.  With all of the shoutouts to Marvel that I’ve sort of sussed out, it pretty much became an afterthought.  That’s what happened when Clint showed up to talk to Kate in “The Straight and Arrow”.
As of right now, there’s really only one person who is never going to show up in any of my stories.  And that’s Tony Stark.  I can say with 100% confidence that he is never going to be in a story of mine.  Because whatever he can do...Hiro can do better.  XD But what of Natasha?  I’m sure you’re asking if I’ve figured out how to smush Nat into a story. To that, I say...
Tumblr media
Have you ever met the alternate continuity daughter of Matt Murdock and Natasha, aka Mapone from the Daredevil: End of Days comic?
Redhead.  Blind.  The same powers as her dad.  The same badassness of her father?
Wonder if there’s a space for her in The Future...

After School Hours
Pairing: Joshua Hong x reader (ft. Seokmin, Soonyoung & Jeonghan)
Genre: teacher au / co-workers to lovers / fluff
Warnings: none
Word count: 4501
Tumblr media
You tried to convince yourself to look away. You didn’t need to watch on any longer than you already had. You’d witnessed more than enough for your heart to ache and tears threatened to fall from your eyes.
Thankfully, a group of students interrupted your moment. Jackie stepped forward and reached out for your arm excitedly. “Miss L/N! I didn’t expect you to come to the carnival tonight!”
You hadn’t exactly planned to either. However, your housemate Sasha had begged you to join her, even mentioning your neighbour Tom would be coming along. And because you had a crush on the aforementioned, you had put on your favourite dress, done a satisfactory job with your makeup and even wore some heeled wedges.
You had put aside your dislike for crowds to come tonight, all to find Sasha locking lips with Tom in front of the cotton candy booth when you returned from the restroom.
Swallowing back your emotions, you smiled weakly at the teenagers before you. “I should be marking your assignments at home right now much as you all should be studying for your next pop quiz. Especially you, Tori.”
“Teach, it’s Friday, live a little. You look so cute tonight; maybe you’ll find someone to make you forget all about that little test next week. There’s no point working us so hard when the school year has just started!”
You laughed and shook your head. “Not a chance. It’s not your first year in school either so you know how much this year counts the most for college admissions.”
“It was worth trying, right Tanith?”
“How about we go ride the Ferris wheel before Miss L/N finds out how badly I did on that assignment.”
You shook your head at the three girls as they waved animatedly and dashed through the evening crowds, your faint smile fading when you realised the distraction they had gifted you with was over. Turning around again, you sighed when you saw the couple grinning and feeding each other the sugary fluffy treat.
Just how often had you proclaimed to Sasha that you found Tom attractive? You felt like an absolute idiot and willed yourself to find anything, anyone to take your attention away and for them to remain oblivious to your realisation. As you searched the crowds for an escape, you faltered, noticing four men sitting at a picnic bench looking your way.
As if it wasn’t bad enough that you had witnessed what you had, you were now questioning how much they had pieced together.
You closed your eyes, wondering in what universe you had even decided to come out tonight in.
“Y/N!” Sasha called out as you spun away, and you stopped walking off hastily. Looking back at the woman, you smiled weakly whilst exchanging your steps away to back towards her. As you got closer, you glanced in the direction of those watching you and then back at your friend.
Or, you at least thought of her once as a friend. Now you were unsure what to trust in. Tom was gone from her side and before you could mention an excuse of feeling unwell, she clutched at her stomach instead. “Oh, there you are! I was worried where you had gotten to since you don’t like crowds much. Are you alright?”
“Actually-”
“Good, hey I’m not feeling well so Tom has kindly offered to take me home. You’ll be able to get a ride home right? I don’t want your night to end here all because I need to go to bed.”
You stared back at Sasha and tilted your head to the side, biting your bottom lip. She wasn’t sick. One look at her could tell anyone that she was bright-eyed and bushy tailed. Her eyes flitted in the direction to where you saw Tom waiting and you almost laughed out loud. Were you really this pathetic that the pair thought they could fool you like this? You knew exactly what was about to happen. There wouldn’t be just one person in that bed, and going home now sounded like the last thing you wanted to do with your night.
You smiled brightly, surprising Sasha with your lack of opposition. “I’ll be more than capable of finding my way home. Don’t worry, I’m sure Tom will take really good care of you.”
“Are… are you sure?” the woman asked, trying to decipher what was going through your head. “Do you know anyone here?”
“Of course she does, right, Y/N?”
You glanced at Jeonghan, one of the student teachers from your school, now beside you, his arm securing around your shoulder. You found yourself nodding along with the intense stare he gave you. Satisfied he had you playing along; he turned to Sasha who was darting her eyes between his arm around you and his handsome face. For a moment, you focused on following through, the euphoria of stunning your roommate making you feel incredibly warm all over.
And once she had said an awkward goodbye and dashed off to Tom, you succumbed to sudden mortification. Ducking your head and shrugging off his arm, you sighed. “Thank you for helping me.”
“I’ve been there before,” he said simply, gesturing his head in the direction of the others. You winced. They definitely knew too much about you now. You didn’t know how you would be able to face any of them in the faculty office on Monday morning. Jeonghan tugged you gently over to them.
“I actually should get going.”
“Where exactly?” Seokmin wondered, looking to Soonyoung beside him. You cringed as your cheeks coloured and then flinched at the former’s laugh. “I know where!”
“I don’t trust that sudden enthusiasm,” the final member said, and you barely glanced at Joshua. Of all the teachers before you, Joshua was the one you were most familiar with, given he was training under you and your fellow English teachers.
“To the whack-a-mole booth! Let’s go!” Before you even had a chance to slip by, Seokmin was dragging you over, paying the money for a round and handed you a fabric club. He then waved to the machine. “Do your worst, Y/N!”
You were hesitant but when the first creature shot out from the hole you smacked it down, focusing on where the next one would come from. As the game sped up, you tried harder to keep in sync, laughing when one of the moles slipped back down before you could hit it. Eventually, your time was up and you grinned, handing back the game instrument to the booth attendant and turned to the others.
“No way, is that all you can do?”
You smiled faltered at Soonyoung’s exclamation, watching as he rolled up his sweater’s sleeves. He shook his head. “Come on, I’ll do a round with you.”
After three more sessions, your sides hurt from laughing so much and you felt better for the energy you had exuded.
Jeonghan cleverly suggested a stop at one of the drink shacks for a juice and then you moved onto a couple of rides, played a few more games and watched as the sky turned dark. Resting on another bench as Seokmin and Soonyoung fought over who was meant to pay for the last game, you looked to Joshua beside you.
He smiled warmly and spoke before you could. “Is this your first carnival?”
“No, I went a couple of times as a kid but usually I asked to not go. Even as a kid I wasn’t very fond of crowds.”
“Ah, that’s why it seemed like everything was brand new to you. I hope you had fun.”
“I did, actually. Thank you.”
“It’s our pleasure. If anything, you kept me from dealing with a headache.”
“Oh?” You frowned and Joshua grinned, pointing to his fellow teachers in training. “Ah, they’re fun though.”
“They’re the right kind of people to be around on a night like this.”
You knew what he meant and nodded softly. You hadn’t forgotten what happened earlier, the kiss still lingering in the back of your mind. However, you had less time to think about it when Seokmin was dragging you about, Soonyoung was challenging you to do another round and Jeonghan was calling for a rest in between.
Without the events of tonight, you would have simply remained on polite terms and not gotten to know any of the student teachers further than sharing a smile when you crossed paths in school.
You hadn’t felt lonely before, but tonight made you realise what you did miss out on when you were cooped up in front of the TV every weekend.
“It’s getting pretty late,” Jeonghan announced and you took Joshua’s hand to help you up, rocking a little on your heels. You vowed next time you would wear comfortable sneakers in the very least. You blinked, realising you wanted another round of fun out like this and smiled with the idea.
Jeonghan hiked his thumb towards the parking lot. “We’ll give you a ride home.”
“Oh, I can’t-”
“You can, we’ll not feel comfortable letting you find your own way home, right guys?”
You nodded softly at Seokmin’s statement and followed them over to a van.
Soonyoung shook his keys to the vehicle proudly. “I teach a bunch of kids how to dance so this thing comes in handy for events. It might not look the prettiest but it’s reliable and safe. Hop in.”
The ride home was comfortable, with conversation about the school and their time there so far. You enjoyed hearing about Seokmin trying to teach a student how to utilise his falsetto by failing to maintain his own in the exercise, Jeonghan having a run-in with the bossy Vice Principal and Soonyoung admitted teaching teenagers dance and physical education was a whole lot different than he had expected it to be. Joshua only had nice things to say about his time in your department, and you confessed to crying in your first week as a fully fledged teacher because one of your students threw his textbook out the window. It wasn’t every day where you got to chat about things like this outside of school and when your street arrived, you were almost disappointed the night was about to come to an end.
And then your eyes focused on the house next to yours where Sasha and Tom were sharing a passionate embrace on the doorstep of, no doubt having spent a whole lot more time in bed together too. It didn’t hurt as much as it had at the beginning of the night but it subdued your excitement from your time with the others.
Slinging your bag over your shoulder, you reached for the sliding door handle. “Thank you again for tonight. And for the ride home.”
“Y/N wait,” Jeonghan said as you opened the door slightly. Looking back at the man, he was giving you that intense gaze that you remembered from when he first came to your aid. “Don’t let them have the upper hand in this situation. If they want to be like this, why not show them up for thinking of you as a fool. I don’t know the whole situation but if it was anything like my own, I know they’ve pegged you as something less than what you deserve.”
“I probably am.”
“No, you’re not that at all.” Jeonghan licked at his lips and looked at his friends before continuing. “Climb out of the van and say goodbye loudly and then turn back and…”
“And?”
“Kiss someone! Just do it.”
Your eyes grew wide at the preposterous concept, and you shakily stepped out of the van. Glancing in the direction of Sasha and Tom, now guiltily caught in the act, you felt something within you snap. You repeated the sentence from before thanking the four of them and then took a deep breath, expecting to meet Jeonghan’s lips when you leaned back in.
Instead, you were surprised to see him out of the corner of your eye as Joshua pressed his mouth to yours. You didn’t know if it was because of the whole situation or the added surprise that your co-worker was now kissing you, but you felt dizzy, pulling away and stumbling a little on the sidewalk. You smiled and nodded softly, waving at them before turning around to head up the footpath to your front door. You focused only on your steps, not paying any attention to Tom and Sasha staring at you or listening out for the van to depart.
Which is why you were surprised when a hand reached for your lower arm, swinging you back around. You stared up at Joshua who was now soul-searching your face, his head lowering towards yours again for a second embrace. Clinging to his strong back, you closed your eyes and melted into his kiss. It had been too long since you had tasted a man like this, sucking in a deep breath as he moved in for yet another kiss. And when you were certain you had no air left, Joshua pulled away, blinking rapidly.
“I just… I felt something,” he confessed, now staring at you again. You bit at your swollen lip and he watched the action before smiling. “I couldn’t not take the chance to see if it continued.”
“Did it?” you asked softly and he nodded, brushing your plump lips gently with his thumb. You felt giddy, leaning into his touch. “Me too.”
“I’ll see you again, I hope.”
“Well yeah, we work together.”
Joshua rubbed at the back of his head awkwardly. “Right, of course. Goodnight, Y/N.”
“Goodnight.”
You covered your face as Joshua jogged back to jeers coming from within the van, hearing a loud toot as they pulled away from the curb. Once they were gone, you spun around and walked up to the front door, uncaring of Sasha waiting beside it.
“You... you kissed that guy!” she exclaimed as she followed you inside, lingering at your side as you placed your keys on the hallway stand. She continued along with you as you headed towards your bedroom. “That’s not something you do.”
“How do you know what I do and don’t do, Sasha? Just because you see me one way, and think you have me all sussed out, doesn’t mean I’ll follow along with your expectations. We’re housemates, not best friends.” You opened your door and stepped in, stopping to throw a look over your shoulder at the stunned woman behind you. “Oh, you’re looking like you’ve recovered from your illness well. I’m glad Tom helped you with that. Goodnight, I hope you feel better in the morning.”
And with that you shut your door, walking over to your bed in a daze and threw yourself down on it.
What a night it had been.
Tumblr media
Monday morning arrived, along with a bundle of nerves. Even with the giddy feelings that overtook most of your weekend, you had enough time during those moments to realise that your trip to the carnival wasn’t your reality. You were unsure how you would remain professional whilst teaching a class that Joshua sat in on and there was a multitude of meetings and department needs where you would be expected to attend and keep on task. You were gravely concerned that after Joshua had kissed the life out of you that you wouldn’t be able to focus on anything but his lips.
You weren’t secure enough into your teaching contract at this school to jeopardise your professionalism by locking lips with Joshua again. Yet, the idea made your heart leap around erratically in your chest and before you made it to the faculty office upon arrival at school, you diverted into the library, groaning heavily as you leaned onto the top of the front desk. Your closest friend within these walls was the librarian and Ela looked up from a stack of books she was cataloguing. “Is that a it’s Monday morning groan or a I’m having a hard time with my emotions groan?”
“Why are they your only two options?” you questioned with a whine and Ela grinned knowingly. “It’s the second.”
“I knew it. What’s wrong?”
“I did something completely unlike what I normally do.”
Ela became thoughtful. “You went clubbing?”
“No, why would I do that?”
“You said something completely unlike-”
“I know what I said but that’s all that comes to mind?” Ela shrugged and you sighed heavily. “I kissed someone.”
“Scandalous.”
“A student-teacher,” you continued and you suddenly had her full attention. Chewing on your bottom lip, you caved when she began to shake your lower arm repeatedly. “Joshua Hong.”
“Details!” she chimed, pulling you around into the back office for privacy. You told her about everything that happened that night at the carnival, placating her moans for missing out on hanging out with the four men with you.
You smirked. “You don’t have to be so obvious about liking Seokmin.”
“If I hadn’t been out of town this week and you didn’t ring me to come join you, please know that I’d no longer give you extensions on the books you hire out for longer than you’re meant to.”
“Duly noted. But what am I meant to do now?”
“Go to work?” Ela suggested and you merely gaped at her. She grinned and clasped your hand within hers. “Come on, Y/N, you boldly kissed him in front of all his friends.”
“Don’t remind me.”
“I bet you were on his mind all weekend long. No one comes after you for another kiss if they don’t like you enough. Joshua’s probably been pining after you since meeting you at the start of the term.”
“Ela!” you warned, swatting your friend away. Still, your cheeks warmed at the possibility. And with several encouraging words, you got to your feet and walked as confidently as you could possess down to the faculty office, scanning the room for a specific face.
“Y/N!” Soonyoung called out and you grinned, waving gently. Walking over to the kitchenette area where he was making a coffee, you thanked him for the cup he handed you and then spluttered on your first sip when he said, “He’s not here yet.”
“I-I wasn’t looking for him.”
“Uh-huh.” Soonyoung seemed amused. “That was some kiss you both had.”
“Can you quieten down some?” you pleaded, looking at the other teachers within the room. You didn’t want news to travel any time soon.
Soonyoung held no tact, or rather, wasn’t about to let your suffering end. “You definitely outdid your housemate’s moment.”
“Soonyoung!” you breathed and then greeted one of the senior staff members awkwardly. Holding up your coffee cup, you grimaced. “Thanks for this.”
“I’m sorry it’s no-”
You covered his mouth and laughed weakly at the PE teacher who passed you by, reaching for a mug. Desperately searching your new friend’s eyes for his silence, you finally stepped back and all but rushed out the door.
During the rest of the morning, you bumped into both Jeonghan and Seokmin along your way, thankfully having an easier time than with Soonyoung. Still, it was evident they had given Joshua enough grief over how your night ended on Friday and you wondered if that was why you hadn’t seen him yet.
Of course, you knew you wouldn’t miss him in the English department’s meeting just after lunch. It was usually you who arrived to these meetings first, bringing your lunch in and using the office as a quiet place to read until the other teachers arrived.
However, Joshua had the same idea as you and chuckled softly when you placed your lunchbox down on the table. You didn’t say anything at first, merely staring at one another, the rush of Friday night overwhelming you again.
Joshua gestured to the seat beside him. “I won’t bite you.”
“Just kiss me?” you said without thinking, waving your hands around immediately to dismiss your comment. “Wow, I’m sorry, that just came out of nowhere.”
“I mean, I won’t deny that. I would kiss you again. But I have enough pride to wait until after school hours. I’m not about to jeopardise our professionalism all because I can’t get you off my mind.”
Sliding your lunchbox around the table, you took the seat beside him and nodded gently after sitting down. “Same.”
“So I was on your mind, huh?” he teased and you groaned.
“First Soonyoung teases me after handing me a coffee, and then Seokmin passed me by in the corridor making kissing noises. Thankfully Jeonghan wasn’t as bad but still! Are we back in high school?!”
You both broke out laughing when you realised the irony of your current location. Joshua swivelled in his chair to face you, reaching out to brush the strand of hair that had escaped your ponytail back behind your ear. You ceased all movement, looking slowly over at the man. “They’ve been relentless all weekend. I know Jeonghan was only going to help you because he’s had it done to him, but I think he was a bit miffed I moved in first.”
“I wasn’t expecting it to be you either,” you admitted.
“Did I disappoint you? Was Jeonghan your aim?”
“No, I didn’t-- I mean, I wasn’t looking around and trying to take my pick.” Taking in a deep breath, you smiled at him. “I wasn’t disappointed at all.”
“I was,” he replied and began to grin charmingly. “That I had to end it there. Given how many people were watching on, I guess it was appropriate to but just know the next time I kiss you, we won’t have an audience.”
“The next time?” you repeated and Joshua hummed in answer. “When’s that going to happen?”
“Tonight? Dinner?” he proposed and you nodded, letting out a relieved breath. Joshua took your hand as he began to eat and you both conversed with ease over your lunch, sighing when the bell went off to signal the next period was about to begin. You watched the door with annoyance.
Your hand was still loosely held by Joshua and you went to remove it when the door opened, however, he tugged it under the table, resting your linked hands within your lap. Shooting him a look and then greeting the head of the department distractedly, you felt the small encouraging squeeze he gave you, a silent plea to keep the connection there.
And you managed to for the whole meeting, actively participating in the session, only taking a couple of nervous looks at Joshua during the beginning of it. You reluctantly let go when it was over, collecting your things to head off to teach the first-year students for their final period of the day. Just before you got up to leave, Joshua leaned into your ear.
“I’ll pick you up from your house at six, okay?”
He was gone then and you tried not to openly swoon over how well he had you hooked on him now.
Tumblr media
The daze from the romance you were under cleared a month later, Joshua looking a little nervous to meet with you for lunch today. You wondered why, given you had shared lunch together every day since that Monday.
“Everything okay?”
“Yeah… actually no. I’ve not been entirely honest with this situation.” Your heart dropped and Joshua clued onto your thinking of the worst and he shook his head. “Oh no, not like that. It’s just, my placement here is up in two days.”
“You’ve got another six months of university, right?”
“Yeah, and I’m being sent to another school for my final placement so I won’t be coming to this school as the others will be in the spring.”
“How far away?”
“Two hours,” he replied and you nodded numbly. Whilst you weren’t heavily into your relationship with him, you were finding yourself more involved in romantic notions towards him. He was caring, playful, sensitive and incredibly good at kissing thus far. You could easily see yourself falling for him within a few months time.
It was still too early to cling on, however, and you sighed. “So when do you leave?”
“Sunday.”
“We can spend time together until then,” you announced and Joshua gauged your reaction.
“You sure? I feel like I led you on but I wasn’t exactly expecting to date whilst I was here.”
“It’s been fun and you’ve helped me open up from being so enclosed in my world. I’m going to miss this, but I know it’s too early for commitment over long distance. Just, if you ever head back this way…”
Joshua nodded, reaching out for your hand and rubbing it gently. “It’s not like we can’t keep in contact. I won’t disappear.”
And he didn’t.
Initially, you did keep in regular contact. However, with preparation for exams and Joshua’s own busy schedule, you became merely social media friends. You would see his sporadic posts and reminisce over that early autumn romance you had together and then moved on with your day after liking the post. A year passed and you even went along to the final carnival of the summer. Instead of Joshua, Ela joined you this time around, the laughter doubled and you hoped it would be her getting that special kiss from Seokmin when the night ended.
You were ready for the new school year to begin.
Arriving early for the first meeting for staff members, you frowned when you found a water bottle on the table already. You felt it and was surprised to feel how cold the water was, sitting down beside it and frowning.
Who else would get here before you?
“Oh sorry I was-”
You looked up then into a set of eyes you hadn’t seen in person in so long. Blinking slowly, you realised he was still standing there and not disappearing with your efforts. Rounding the table, without taking his eyes off of you, Joshua sat down in the chair beside yours and let out a small chuckle. “Some habits never change, huh?”
“You beating me to this room every time is a feat, you know.”
“One I take pride in.”
“What of your professionalism?”
“I have to protect it with all my might. This is my first job fresh out of school, after all.”
You nodded as your smile continued to spread. “It’s a good school to work for.”
“I know, it has a lot of opportunities for me.”
“I’m glad to hear it.”
You took in a sudden breath when you felt his warm hand reach under the table for yours. Looking in Joshua’s direction, he bashfully grinned. “Is it acceptable for me to still take this hand? You haven’t given it to anyone else, right?”
“On the first day back at work, you sure are willing to risk things.”
Joshua leaned in closer, noting the way you gripped at his hand. “Don’t worry I’ll leave the kissing until after school hours.”

The TMA Entities As Night Vale Horoscopes
The Eye: “ Libra: All eyes are on you. Gross! Give them back. “
The Corruption: “Gemini: How scared are you of centipedes, Gemini? I mean, no reason. The stars are just asking. Like, are you super super scared, because I can’t say for sure, but you’re pretty brave, right? Like, you could handle a couple of centipedes! You could handle a bunch of centipedes! Right, Gemini? No reason. I’m just asking.“
The Buried: “Gemini: Bury yourself in your work today, Gemini. Pile that garbage high and rest your weary head beneath its odorous, but comforting weight. “
The Dark: “Sagittarius: Your opacity in relationships is going to be your downfall, Sagittarius. You’re an obsidian monolith, towering over everyone, absorbing all light, except the faint reflection of those who want to know what glows inside your stony façade. You don’t have to be a diamond, Sagittarius, or even quartz. Just try for salt lick, OK? I think you can achieve that.“
The Vast: “Cancer: ‘The ocean is vast,’ you convince yourself, walking alone between the trees. ‘The sky is endless,’ you mutter repeatedly, trying to finally lull yourself to sleep. ‘Matter can neither be created nor destroyed,’ you contemplate, despite not understanding the first part of the statement. ‘What’s on the Food Network tonight?’ you say aloud to a stranger you have known for years.
The Spiral: “Libra: You will walk out from your house. The sun will look strange to you, even though you think it perhaps always looked like that. It will look like it always has, and it will look so strange. As you walk down the street, you will see a path you’ve never noticed before, leading away from the familiar into a dark and twisted wood. You will follow this path, the warm dirt softly crunching under your feet. At the end of the path, you will come to a small and cozy home. In the window will be a boy, and he will give you a sign. A hand to the side means it is safe to go on, a hand by the air means the burrowers are hungry tonight. A covered mouth means the time is nigh. You may proceed accordingly. Even the stars do not know what happens next. “
The Lonely: “Cancer: Aim for the moon, Cancer! Even if you miss, you’ll still hurdle forever through the silent vacuum of space. Cold and alone. So really, aim for that moon, OK?“
The Stranger: “Taurus: Taurus, today is the day that you change everything. Oh, I’m sorry. I misspoke, I’m sorry. Uh, let me try that again, OK? *Ahem* Today is the day that everything changes you. You will be completely unrecognizable. Yeah, that’s it. There ya go.“
The Web: “Aries: This just says ‘spiders’ in increasingly large fonts for about seven pages. Aww, that’s cute!“
The Desolation: “Virgo: I hope you are not too attached to your left hand. Either way, you won’t be soon.”
The Hunt: “Taurus: Today will be lots of things for you, Taurus. Blood-free will not be one of those things. No.“
The Slaughter: “Virgo: Don’t shoot the messenger, Virgo! It’s noisy, and will alert others of your crime. Lure the messenger inside. Make sure no one saw him come in. Choose something quieter than a gun. Perhaps suffocation, or an accidental fall. Really plan these things out. Stop being so trigger happy, Virgo! “
The Flesh: “Gemini: There are many organ donors, but did you know you can also register to be an organ collector? Yeah, it’s actually very easy, all you need is a scalpel and some clay jars. But anyway, you should definitely register as an organ donor. By next Thursday. At 11 AM. If you can.“
The End: “Leo: It’s better that I don’t read this aloud. Better that you not know. Tell your family that you love them.”
The Extinction: “Virgo: Go see a movie today. It’s a great escape! Especially from all this pollution and dangerous UV radiation! Say, is that mole new? “
These are all quotes taken from the Welcome To Night Vale Wiki: https://nightvale.fandom.com/wiki/Horoscopes
I decided to go with what fit rather than try to include a variety of signs.
This was really fun tho, and I may try to make it again. There were a few that I had to make difficult choices of what quote to use. :)

mothermom 3 is a baaad animine
part 1: fuck these characters I thought the bit about not being able to go through a certain way because there's ants (that the player can't see) you wouldn't want to trample was going to introduce a theme of kindness and gentleness, but the game sure... tramples that early on by having your oh-so-kindhearted-and-mournable mother trample the fuck out of a sentient talking mole cricket to death right the fuck afterwards. Like, you were just talking to and playfighting with that mole mere seconds ago, and now it's thoughtlessly and meaninglessly dead, and it's supposed to be funny. And then you're supposed to forget all about it when mom dead because care and have emotions for this characters you've barely known for like one minute worth of interactions dragged out over like an hour. ok Then after bumbling along being a hollow little bag of nothing for like ten hours Lucas suddenly proves himself a detestable little cunt by just straight up stealing something he's told was a precious item, a yo-yo belonging to Porky's friend. Because, like... fuck Porky, I guess, in this geame franchise about love and heart and healing there's just this one fat kid we're all supposed to just disregard and piss and shit on and detest by default for no fucking reason just because the game narrative said so. Porky's existence was pretty weird already in Earthbound- he's apparently being abused by his fat parents, and aside from being a bit snotty and show-offy, he does at least make sure his little brother gets home safely at the beginning. He just seems like someone who needs a friend, which... actually makes Ness look like an asshole in retrospect for not just giving him some kind of help. It was kind of fine in that game because he was just a minor character, but making him some supervillain in the next game just because he was some dumpy abused kid is just... what the fuck. But anyway, whenever the plot expects us to care about Loocus and his dumb dead mom I just think about things like the yo-yo and the mole cricket and I lose all empathy. These people are assholes. You're trying to make sympathetic victims out of assholes and an asshole out of a sympathetic victim. Get your meaningless fucking sunflowers the fuck off my screen you bitch fuck
And then on the other hand there's Duster. The character who's absolutely the most deserving of empathy out of all these cunts and we're supposed to see him reembracing his shitty old life as something he should be really happy about. Like for one thing, the entire plot where he reenters the cast is stupid and makes no sense. When we hear he's at the club playing with the band, I could think of a lot of reasons for it- he could be laying low to protect the egg (seeing as how Tamzilly got pozzed and going back there would accomplish nothing), he could have just decided to fuck off and do something he actually enjoyed rather than go back to his shitty asshole dad, he could have somehow ended up far far away from the town and joined the band to make his way back home travelling with them/earn a living so he could get back. But no, before we even get to see him and see how he's acting Strong Female McDerpa Character tells us that he most definitely has amnesia. Because, like, why would he ever give up on his jackass dad and that braindead town otherwise? And then we meet him and it's exactly what we were unceremonously told it was, how rivetting. Then for some reason he decides that if he's really who you say he is he needs to... give up his life as a band member entirely to get the egg back. Can't just come with you to get the egg or until the adventure's over, nooo he needs to abandon his new life forever and ever and just go get fucked and fuck himself. fuck. let my man play guitar and also that "thiefs but good somehow because derp" shit is retarded and I hate it
Finally there's Girl Character who I refuse to even remember the name of because she's... nothing. Even her being kinda cunty about how she's sTrOnG and nOt lIkE ThoSe OthEr gIrlS is just bland. The other girls from the past two games were cute and girly and still credit to team with their strong psychic powers, why the fuck is she like this?
part 2: i've stopped giving a fuck about making this into parts fuck you What the fuck is the story of this game? You spend hours dicking around with a fucking timeskip and a ghost mansion or some shit and the game randomly namedrops the needles at some point, and then... the six or seventh chapter is just titled GUYS THE NEEDLES ARE ACTUALLY REALLY IMPORTANT YOU GUYS. Six or seven fucking chapters in, and we've barely gotten to anything resembling a coherent plot. What the fuck have we been doing up until this point again? Why the fuck do we even need the dragon needles plot anyway? Just have the main cast move from one pigmeng plot to another with things like the thunder tower, slowly working their way up the chain of command until they reach the final boss and his ultimate plan. You don't need to introduce an entire plot worth of fucking shit a third of the way into the game you fucking fuckers
The themes are a fucking dumpsterfire. Just plop some fucktarded work bad money bad bullshit in there and call it a day... Evil monkey man could have given that fucktard anything and got him to hide it in the well and it would have caused a ruckus when he came back and stole it. He could have convinced him to hide his grandma's ashes in the well- would the takeaway from that have been that honoring the dead bad? That's how fucking flat it is. If anything it just comes off as if the people of Tamzilly are just a bunch of mindkilled retards with no defence against humanity's own nature aside from shutting themselves off from the outside world entirely- the slightest contact with normal human interactions like money or having to contribute to society for a living, they all self-destruct. It's not le capitalism that made the old people home bad, it's whoever the fuck actually built it... which, if the outside world weren't basically strawmanned with the le evil pigmans and monkey abuser guy, would have been Tamzilly themselves. Which, because the strawmanning is so unbelievably absurd, makes it seem like Tazmilly is just a retarded place that somehow managed to make the old people's home this bad on their own or some shit I don't know I just can't buy it
Speaking of empathy, the game somehow manages to make the Pig Heil guys endearing even while they're actively working on the thunder tower that's cooking the dumbass town residents. Are they supposed to be abusing the electric catfish when they're cutely telling the things to hang in there and do their best? When Lucas got a jerb hustling the golems around and they managed to make it like a positive thing (the pigmangs encourage you, seemingly pay a decent wage, and even the doggo enjoys running on the treadmill once he gets into it), I thought there was going to be a tweest or at least some nuance, but the absurdity of the nice ol' piglins in the evil tower just makes it seem like it's just entirely unintentional, by writers who just have no idea what the fuck they're doing. The generic braindead modern-bad messaging and the generic brainless funny-characters-ha-ha sides of the writing clash horribly and somehow manage to mangle each other even worse than they already were.
The whimsicality is fucking dead. It's just all so forced and one-note... or, very consistently two-note in every single thing, because absolutely every single monster you meet is just two things funny stuck together. The first two games could glide smoothly between fighting enraged possessed zoo animals and weirdo people, weirdo fucking blended monsters that don't look like anything in particular, and then just sometimes the taxis that're used for decoration on roads will veer off course and engage you in battle. It's simultaneously wildly unpredictable and smoothly cohesive. And it's wonderful. But M3 is just... it leans over, shoves a megaphone down your throat and loudly informs you that "the PIGMEN have FUSED the THINGS toGETHER" and proceeds to beat you over the head with "this thing is THAT thing and THAT thing" over and over again. It's forced, mechanical, hamfisted and just not whimsical at all. And it's not just because the pigmengs aren't Giiigigigigiyasass (which could have been fixed by having them harness traces of Gig's power if that was the problem anyway), because it extends to absolutely everything- the ghosts at the mansion for example are just all absolutely fucking nothing. Like the main big bad boss is just "he's GHOST who THROWS FURNITURE and is BEETHOVEN and plays BEETHOVEN MUSIC". Because Beethoven is old thing therefore old mansion and ghosts, geddit? How fucking pathetic. Oh there's another thing, the weird aliens/conspiracy bent the first two games had is gone entirely. That's something that really helped it feel so wild yet at the same time cohesive... Actually, the game also seems to have done away with the surprise overworld sprite encounters like the aforementioned taxis. ... No wait that's right, they blew their load in the first levels with the rock lizards, which were fucking boring.
The dialogue fucking sucks. just fucking drags the fuck on endlessly for fucking ever to say barely anything, and barely anything you need to actually hear. Did Earthbound ever stop you to inform you that the TAXIS are AFFECTED by GIGUDUGDSAS like you couldn't figure that out yourself? No, they say Gigi's affected shit in a couple sentences near the beginning and let the rest of it speak for itself, pretty much. It's hard to give exact examples because I can't fucking remember any of this shit because it just slides right off my brain like ducks off of water, it's so bland and pointless. The sparrows drone on endlessly with worthless tutorial shit and then take an entire extra sentence to chirp at you and remind you that it's talking animals oh wow wacky!!!!!!! And when Duster decides he really is what you say he is he stands there going "ME IS DUSTER" over and over again like he's fucking Bimpson. You don't have anything interesting to say about finally figuring out who you really are? Okay... There's multiple fucking scenes of slow-scrolling walls of fucking text telling you absolutely nothng you don't already know except that the writers are wanking the fuck off over their own dumbass writing where in Earthbound there was like one scene of this towards the end that really just set up the emotions of the final sequences and underlined how far you'd come and shit and was a good moment of reflection and shit.
I also find it exceptionally intersting that all the people in Tazmilly before the timeskip have names and unique appearances, but anyone who only shows up after is just some generic design called "Man" or "Woman" or what have you. It feels weirdly dehumanizing towards outsiders.
This game fucking feels like the writers just fucking dumped a bunch of absolute shit down like they expected everyone to just eat it up, either because of the success of the previous games or because of the emotional manipulation the plot is laced with. The characters are all either detestable cunts or desperately need to be airlifted out into a better game pronto. And it's unsettlingly... modern in what's wrong with it. The capitalism-bad-tradition-good-mindkill-yourself messaging, the spunky female character(tm) who rubs it in your face how strongk she is (and who keeps talking even when you're controlling her while the other characters all become silent protagonists)... even the weirdly random spite towards characters the narrative has decided aren't "deserving" enough, or characters only being allowed to handle said spite and retain sympathy by cucking to it completely (Duster)... I suppose that's just a sign that these sorts of writing problems and hangups are older than that and have just become more popular/visible in recent times, but it's still really fucking weird to see.
I feel like I should be concerned that the team behind the Earthbound series also started Gamefreak and created Pokemon, though since the split obviously happened before Mo 3 I don't know how much overlap there is between staff members there specifically... seeing as how these exact same sort of writing problems have started to rear their heads in the Pokemon franchise, starting weakly in gen 6 (cough zinnia cough abandoned ship plotline cough) and absolutely fucking exploding in 7 (cough LILLIE COUHG FUCKING TAPUS COUGH AGAG V HIC CUFGH VOMIT AAGHK); I haven't yet fully witnessed gen 8 but everything I've seen of it so far looks no better, except there's no shill character (Marnie is just kinda... there), just suffering. But that's all for another post.
welp time to go watch the remainder of the game until my brain rots off

Tumblr media
Alright, cool. I finally have a guaranteed length of time that should be long enough to go through all of these, so let’s do this. I know the plan was to have me address each ask one at a time but that didn’t work out lol so I’m just doing it all at once. I’m also turning it into a post so anyone who wants to can follow along with my journey.
I’m also gonna copy/paste the text of the other asks instead of screen capping them because copy/pasting is faster lol.
I’m gonna put a pic of each one here, give my thoughts, maybe a goofy rating (I dunno), and then pick my favorite. Just so y’all know.
* Tanawy's entry n.1 in the Dragon Quest monster showcase: the all-time classic Slime. When asked to design the Slime like the standard goop monster they usually were, Toriyama said "no" and a legend was born, now cute slimes are more popular than the disgusting goop depiction. Its cousins and variants are numerous and some are very different from one another so as a bonus here the criminally underutilized Mottle Slime and its evolution the Mottle King Slime.
See, I don’t even need to look this one up. Here it is:
Tumblr media
But let’s be real, you guys didn’t need to see an image of this dude either. I love this thing. I never went through a period where I thought of the grosser oldschool slimes. This thing has always been what’s come to my mind when I here the word in an RPG context. Which, considering my zero experience with DQ, really speaks to this thing’s popularity. I am actually going to remove this one from consideration, though, for that reason. I just have too much of a bias towards it. I know it too well, and all variations seem to be equally great. It’s a 10/10, though. Truly iconic.
Get the rest after the cut!
* Tanawy's entry n.2: Originally a boss monster, here is the Golem. While not the sharpest tool in the shed, these brick-made guys can be quite loyal, with a child-like personality, downright adorable (I will never forget you Goldirox) but their strenght in battle must not be underestimated. And since St. Valentinus is around the corner here a Chocolate Golem variant as a gift. Friendship chocolate mind you, from a dude to another 😄
Tumblr media
I like this guy. He reminds me of a couple oldschool Yugioh cards. They’re all bad cards, but I’m nostalgic for them so that help’s this guy’s chances. I don’t know that I buy him as a threatening boss, though. He seems more like he’d be your big stone pal.
The chocolate variant is absolutely adorable.
8.5/10 overall for both.
* Tanawy's entry n.3: Here are two members of the Machine Family, first the Killing Machine. These relentless hunters are merciless and they are constantly upgrading, so models with different modifications are plenty. They even come with garden sprinkles. Then there is the Mecha-mynah, who puts a different spin on the mechanical Cuckoo-bird motif. Careful these guys have razor-sharp wings and they selfdestruct when cornered.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Alright, not so much for the second one, but the Killing Machine also reminds me of, like, a half dozen Yugioh monsters. Did Kazuki Takahashi just like ripping this franchise off or something? Either way, these are both good designs, but they don’t really work for me that much. They’re a little...plain? I guess? I guess I like my machine creatures rougher and with more detail. 7/10.
* Tanawy's entry n.4: Next are my deepest fears (exaggeration) if they were real; the Waspion, half wasp half scorpion, and the Claw Hammer, Half hammerhead shark half metal scolopendra, all nightmare. Continuing with the caravan of creepiness, here is the Bona Constrictor, just get it away from me. This next one, when i saw it for the first time i yelled "WTF is That?!" here is the Ulcer, a walking awful pile of rotting flesh.
I am NOT a fan of the Ulcer. That thing’s ugly, and not even in a fun way. 0/10.
I like these other guys, though:
Tumblr media
The Waspion is literally just Gligar from Pokemon, but aside from that I like animal/creature mash-ups. And the Claw Hammer is a pretty unique one. 9/10 for the whole lot.
* Tanawy's entry n.5: Beef or chicken? Why choose when you can have both? Here is a heavyweight of the Bird Family the taurine Bullfinch. But dont forget your vegetables, or else they might turn into these Plant family monsters, the eggplant Woebergine, the bellpeppers Capsichum and the cucumber Cruelcumber. Also, meet the Peahooter, these guys pelts their targets with arrows taking advantage of their higher ground.
Tumblr media
Okay, we’ve got another mash-up creature here in the form of the Bullfinch, but I’m not feeling this one as much. It’s worth, like, a 6.5/10, maybe. The Woebergine and the Peahooter are both pretty interesting. The Peahooter is kinda cute in a weird way and the Woebergine is delightfully derpy. They both deserve approaching an 8/10. I’m not really feeling the Capsichum at all though. They get a 5 or a 6/10.
* Tanawy's entry n.6: Who doesn't like a good dog? Well maybe not these guys from the Beast family: the Chainine who will ensnare their preys with their collars, the Putrefido, who is no longer alive, the Abracadabrador, who will eat your bones, the Crocodog, a levitating (yes this thing floats in the air) dog-crocodile hybrid and finally the Jackal Ripper (long lost relative of Wolverine or just imitator? More at 11 on the news)
Hey now. That’s not really fair to the other entries. Every one of these dudes:
Tumblr media
Is a very GOOD BOI. I think I like the Abracadabrador the least. He’s a little too un-dog-like compared to the others. 6.5/10. The Chainine and the Putrfido are both the perfect blend of cute and weird. I like them a lot. They get 7.5/10. Jackal Ripper is a badass 8/10. He’d be cooler if he was wearing jeans. I LOVE the Crocodog, though. 10/10. Perfect. He just looks like a friend, but he also looks like he could kill my enemies. Which is what I like in a monster.
* Tanawy's entry n.7: Here is a taste of Japan with the Boppin’ badger, the most Tanuki-like monster you will ever meet; Then these guys don't need consent to give everyone within their reach a smooch, here is the Lips. Also, beware of these horses of the underworld, the Equinox where they probably hangout with these other lovely fellows, the Hellspawn. Speaking of which here is the demon Teeny Sanguini. Cute eh? Not when it evolves in the Bloody Manguini. Thankfully not everyone of them does that.
Tumblr media
Okay, you can’t fool me. That first one is just a regular animal.
Jokes aside, though, I’m not really feeling this bunch unfortunately. The Hellspawn just reminds me too much of mutant can Steven, the Lips is a little boring, and the Equinox, while I like the wordplay in its name, and while it’s cool in principal, is too busy. I’m just not feeling the designs of these guys overall. 4 or 5/10 for the whole lot. Though the Teeny Sanguini is closer to a 5 than a 4.
* Tanawy's entry n.8: There are two species of monsters, the Pips and their cousins the Conks, who constatly imitate the classic classes of the humans, like warriors or priests, but this time the little rascals have gone a little farther and here they are copying the DQ8 4 main heroes in the Trodainian Conklave, the DQ4 heroes in the Zenithian Conklave, the hero of DQ1 and the 3 heroes of DQ2 in the Alefgardian Conklave and the hero of DQ3 with 3 other companions in the Aliahanian Conklave. Cute.
Tumblr media
Okay, I love the idea of these things. They’re cute, they fit right in with the general aesthetic of the franchise, and they have a ton of personality. I’m not gonna post pics of all of them because there’re so many, but they deserve ~9/10 collectively. They’re very good.
* Tanawy's entry n.9: Not enough dragons? So here's three: what do you get mixing a T-rex, a dragon and a vicious axeman? An Hacksaurus that's what! Then the Drakulard. Don't be fooled by their mole these portly fellows mean business. Another chubby dragon, the Jargon: dragonic masters of the clay containers, these guys URNed their right to use jar puns and they will make sure you remenber it, even if they have to crack your pot.
Okay now these are more what I was thinking when I heard the title Dragon Quest.
Tumblr media
I like the Hacksaurus the best outta them. He just looks nice. They’re all good, though. They fit the art style perfectly, and resemble each other just enough that you buy them all being related creatures. 8/10 overall, though the Hacksaurus is a little above the others, with the Jargon being a barely at the bottom of the barrel. Or the jar I guess.
* Tanawy's entry n.10: The only story entry in this showcase, because just look at him, it's the only DQ big baddie (at least in english) to actually call themselves "the Demon Lord" It's Orgodemir, specifically it's true form which is the first photo you find in the gallery at almost end-page. Let me just tell you this, Orgodemir is a d*ck of the highest level. The brain it's actually an eyelid for a giant eye by the way. Happy Nightmares.
Tumblr media
HAHAHAHA. I know there are other forms for this guy, and this is probably not the reaction that anyone who played the game would have, but I just can’t take this guy seriously. He looks like Edward Cullen with bat wings. HAHAHA. 8/10 ‘cause it made me laugh.
* Tanawy's entry n.11: And lastly, in a category i like to call "I can't belive these are real", its the Funky Ferret; yes he and his cousins do exactly what the image shows. And the almost copyright-infinging Owlbear, yes they did not even try to distance themself from D&D with this one (ok they have a variant but is not saying much). There were others in the last category, but since they REALLY did not age gracefully to the modern standards of "acceptable" i prefered not show them.
Tumblr media
I love Owlbears, they’re just such iconic fantasy monsters at this point, so he gets a solid 8/10 rating by default. It’s a pretty original take, too, focusing on the cuteness potential of the creature over the badass potential. I like that.
The Funky Ferret, though...
Tumblr media
With a name like that this guy coulda been so cool. But he’s just a pretty generic design blended with a fart joke. What a bummer. 3/10.
And there we have it. Probably not exactly what you were thinking but I hope you like it. I don’t hate any of these guys. Some are more boring than others, but there’s something neat about each of them. I like the ones that take badass ideas and make them cute while remaining intimidating best out of all of them, and I think the Crocodog does this best with the Hacksaurus as the runner up. Crocodog is definitely my favorite of these, though. He gets the Best Good Boi award of Bestness.
Orgodemir gets an award, too, though, the “made AJ spit out his rum and Coke laughing” award. It’s not the most coveted, but it’s something.
I know this is a long one, and y’all may not want to reblog, but what do any of my followers think of these funky dudes? Leave a comment on this post or reblog with your answer in the tags!

Teen Titans AU Part 12
This chapter is longer since I’ve taken longer to update! Today we’ll meet a certain redeemed blonde Bee miraculous holder. Maybe she’ll have a love interest 😉.
Gabriel Agreste had been working with Slade for a while. He knew who the traitor of the Titans was and he knew all the information given. He also knew that Marinette Dupain-Cheng was Ladybug, it was too risky to tell his son though. They needed Ladybug removed and if he knew his so-called ‘princess’ was Ladybug he might refuse to fight her or hesitate. In the end, Gabriel always knew what was best for his son and his grand plan. He chuckled to himself as he walked the streets of Jump City, until he finally made it to his destination. He was in need of a certain Italian girl’s assistance.
“Ah!!!! Guys they’re online! They’re online!” Jon screamed at the top of his lungs. “Coming!!!” Garfield yelled as he shoved a pancake into his mouth. The team assembled in the common room as Jon hit the accepted the video call. There on the screen was a smiling Marinette with hair in twin braids and a scowling Damian who seemed to be...holding Marinette’s hand?! Raven gave a sly smile as Gar grumbled and discretely passed her twenty dollars. “So when did that happen?” Raven asked in a monotone with a hint of a smirk on her face. Marinette blushed, “I-I guess technically yesterday.” Damian glared at Raven, but he had a nagging feeling once again, guilt. It was awful, he felt...bad for Jon, especially after telling him he didn’t want to date Marinette. He felt almost like he had lied to Marinette, what if she wanted to be with Jon but thought that he didn’t like her so Damian was her only option?! “Oh.” Jon coughed. “Anyway,” Marinette said oblivious to the situation, “We wanted to catch up with everyone. Maybe individually if that’s alright with you guys?” The team took the bait, “Of course! I need some Mari time!” Gar exclaimed doing some jazz hands, “And Damian time too of course.” Marinette giggled but then realized, Gar could be the mole. She sighed and knew when she found out who the traitor was, it would hurt like hell. Jamie shoved the computer away from the rest of the team. “Me first, I have something I want to run through you guys.” Marinette nodded kindly and Damian’s face held the same amount of brooding on it as before. Before the others could protest Jamie took the computer to his room.
“Sorry, this is really important and I think you’ll want to know.” He took a deep breath, “So I asked my scarab if searching for miraculouses could be done since you mentioned you’re missing some. You won’t believe where it found a bunch.” Damian raised an eyebrow, “Spit it out Reyes.” Jamie rolled his eyes, “Ok ok. A storage unit in slightly south of here. An hour out from Gotham and an hour out from Jump City. The scarab said that both the horse miraculous and butterfly are active. I didn’t know if that meant anything to you.” Marinette nodded though she was internally freaking out, she really hoped Gabriel hadn’t gotten out of prison. “Thanks Jamie. I’ll have to get them as soon as possible. This is extremely important. In the wrong hands the miracle box is the most dangerous weapon ever. Although if only two miraculouses are active that means Hawkmoth has only one other co-conspirator, I’m guessing Slade.” Marinette’s mind went at 100 miles a minute, she’d need to find the box as soon as possible.
Jamie nodded and smiled, he went back to the room to give the computer to someone else. Damian muted it, “You know we were supposed to stick to the plan.” Marinette nodded and squeezed her boyfriend’s hand, “I know Dami but it can’t be him if his scarab can track miraculouses. Chat Noir would already have mine.” Damian scowled and unmuted the computer.
Everyone else passed by easily, Damian and Marinette gave each of them a different location where they were ‘hiding’ the Ladybug miraculous. The plan was off without a hitch, all they had to do was wait, well wait and Damian had to talk to Jon. Marinette had gone downstairs to clear her head, she still couldn’t believe someone who she’d been living with betrayed her and the team. Jon got on the computer, he didn’t look too mad so Damian was slightly relieved. “Why didn’t you tell me?” Jon depanned. “I-I it just happened. I’m sorry, I really wanted to tell you.” Jon nodded and then sighed, “It’ll take awhile but I’ll get over Marinette. If anybody I’m glad she’s dating you. Besides,” he said cracking a smile, “I won the bet.” Damian stared at him confused. Jon laughed, “We’ve had this bet ever since I got to the tower. Betting on if you’d ever date anybody. Most people said no, but Raven and I said yes and we both are twenty bucks richer.” Damian scowled, “You bet on me?!” Jon cracked up and nodded. “Anyway, why did you talk to everybody individually. It was super weird.” Damian crossed his arms, “The Titans have a mole.”
Jon’s eyes widened, “W-what?! Since when? Who?! Are you sure?!” Damian rolled his eyes, “I don’t know when or who but I am sure. That’s what we’ve been trying to find out. Don’t make me regret telling you and don’t tip off the rest of the team!” Jon nodded still in a stupor. Marinette hopped back upstairs and into the room, she sat down next to her boyfriend and waved, “Hey Jon!” Jon smiled, “Hey Marinette, how's it going?” “Pretty good. Sorry I’ll have to cut this short, I realized it’s almost time for lunch. What do you want Damian?” Damian shook his head, “You know Alfred can go out for that.” Marinette shrugged, “I need to stretch my legs.” Damian nodded, he was slightly concerned, but he knew she needed this because she had been so stressed since the mole debacle. “I don’t want you running off alone in Gotham. I’m coming with you.” Marinette giggled, “Okay, I’d be fine if you didn’t come though.” Damian patted her on the shoulder, “I know Angel, but you can’t help me being paranoid.” Jon smiled, he had to admit they were a cute couple, “I’ll let you guys go then. Bye!” Marinette waved and Jon hung up. “Ready?” Marinette asked standing up. “Sure. Where’d you want to go?” Marinette tapped her chin, “Since you’re coming maybe we could go somewhere, you know for our first real date.” Damian blushed, “Any places in mind?” “Well you know the area better than me, but how about Gotham Diner? It’s near the fashion district.” Damian chuckled, “Sounds perfect Angel.”
Marinette grabbed her bags, they ended up going into stores before they ate and of course Marinette bought new fabrics. Damian insisted on paying but Marinette refused, he pouted and said he’d pay for lunch. Marinette giggled and agreed. As Marinette walked down the street, sunshine radiating off of her, Damian followed smiling a little to himself. Gothamites gawked as they saw the Ice Prince with his girlfriend, they were surprised he could smile, that he had a girlfriend and that he was back in Gotham. Some people snuck pictures. As Marinette walked, with Damian in tow a blonde girl with her hair cut in a short bob squealed and ran up to her. Damian was shocked and they Marinette and the blonde started talking excitedly in France, he almost didn’t catch it.
“Dupain-Cheng!” Squealed the blonde. “Chlo?” Marientte turned to see her ex-bully turned best friend. She thrust her into a hug and squeezed her. “Look Dupain-Cheng Im glad to see you too, but I do like breathing,” Chloe strained. Marinette released her, “Sorry it’s just that I haven’t seen you in so long. Wait, what are you doing in Gotham?” Chloé narrowed her eyes, “Could ask you the same question DC and who’s this?” She asked motioning to Damian. “That’s Damian,” Marinette exclaimed, “my boyfriend.” Although Marinette turned pink and rushed her statement a little Chloé screamed, “FIRST YOU’RE IN GOTHAM WITHOUT TELLING ME AND NOW YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND! THAT’S IT WE’RE CATCHING UP NOW!” Chloé grabbed Marinette by the arm and stormed off. Damian stood there in a stupor, his girlfriend was just sister-snatched before his eyes. Chloé whipped her head back, “You coming or not?!” Damian didn’t say anything, he knew from his family that you do not mess with strong willed women like Chloé, he followed obediently like a dog.
Chloé led them to a small café where she sat down at the closet empty table. She sat down and wasted no time, “Why are you in Gotham Dupain-Cheng?!” Marinette giggled, she’d always enjoyed Chloé’s...directness. “Damian took me here to meet his family?” Chloé narrowed her eyes, “You!” She pointed at Damian, “How long have you been dating Maribug?” Damian’s eyes widened, “What’d you call her?” Chloé hissed in Marinette’s face, “He doesn’t know?” Marinette sighed, “He does, and we’ve been dating since yesterday but we’ve known each other for months. Anyway, Damian this is Chloé otherwise known as Queen Bee, and Chloé this is Damian, he does have a name.” Chloé rolled her eyes, “Whatever. You do realize it’s stupid to go with some random guy to a different city right?!” Marinette nodded, “Damian’s not-“ “Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous. Stop going off with random dudes Maribug! And don’t tell them you’re identity!” Chloé flicked her in the head. “Um Chloé, I distinctly remember you telling everyone you’re Queen Bee.” Chloé rolled her eyes once again, “That’s different Dupain-Cheng, you know I can’t hide this fabulosity.” Chloé flipped her hair as Marientte giggled, “But you still shouldn’t tell random people that you’re Ladybug!” Damian decided to step in, “I’m not a random person.” “Excuse me?!” Chloé said, turning shooting daggers with her eyes. “I said I’m not a random person.” Damian repeated plainly. Marinette shrank down in her seat as Damian and Chloé continued their intense staring contest. “He’s a keeper Maribug.” Damian shook Chloé’s outstretched hand. “Chloé Bourgeois, daughter of Paris’s mayor and fashion designer Audrey Bourgeois.” Damian nodded, “Damian...Wayne.” Chloé sprung up from her chair, “You bagged a Wayne?! Yes Maribug, way to use what I taught you! He’s definitely a keeper!” Marinette started cracking up until Chloé saw a shadowy figure in the distance. “Don’t look now but I think a certain alley cat followed us. Why is he here anyway?!” Chloé scowled. “I recently joined a team, ever since then he’s been getting intel from one of them about my whereabouts.” Marinette sighed. “ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! RIDICULOUS, UTTERLY RIDICULOUS! GET ME MY MIRACULOUS I’M GOING TO KILL THIS TEAMMATE AND THIS STUPID CAT!” Damian cracked a smile, finally something he could agree on. “Chloé, no killing. But I might be able to get your miraculous back. Once we deal with a certain black cat we can find the miracle box, Damian pull up the location Jamie said the box was.” Damian obliged and pulled up a map. “Got it, but what will we do about that idiot?” Damian asked while motioning to Chat. Chloé smirked deviously. “I’ve got a couple ideas.”

Meeting and dating Tommy Turner
Tumblr media
(My gif)(Tommys in plaid for any of you who haven’t seen porkys)
- You met Tommy when the both of you were placed in the same class. The two of you became quick friends once you were seated near each other. He introduced you to the other guys and soon enough you had a whole group of new friends.
- For a while you remained just that: friends. He even became a wing man of sorts and tried to set you up with a few guys from school. But everything changed one fateful day.
- Like clockwork the boys had snuck into the the tunnels of the school and got into position at their peepholes. Except today you had had an accident with a bunch of paint in art class and were sent to clean yourself up in the school showers.
- It took the boys a little while to realize just who the new girl was since they knew you didn’t have gym class that period. But they got their answer as you turned to face their wall innocently giggling at Wendy’s teasing as you scrubbed the paint from your chest.
“Holy shit that’s y/n!” Everyone in the group tries to stifle their laughter, everyone but him; he’s too busy staring at you.
- He had never thought of you in a sexual way before, he sort of just saw you as one of the guys. Yet here you were, wet, naked and wow, he couldn’t take his eyes off you.
- For the rest of the day he looks at you weird and you have no idea why. He’s staring, gulping, sneaking glances after you catch him watching you; you feel like an algebra equation he can’t figure out. You start to question yourself; what have you done lately that would make him suspicious of you. Was one of the other planning a prank? Was he?
“…Well I’m gonna head to class Tommy…see ya…” you mutter as you leave the lunch table.
- His third eye has been opened and its laser focused on your tits.
- When he can’t get you out of his head for a week straight he knows he has a real problem on his hands and a problem he apparently can’t “fix” with his hands…believe him he tried.
- You’re beginning to wonder what the hell is going on with your best friend (and crush but that’s besides the point). You try to ask the guys whats going on but they just fight back laughter like there’s an inside joke between them. They just think that Tommy’s particularly horny after seeing you naked and doesn’t know how to deal which is …sort of the truth but he’s more than horny. He’s in love.
- He begins to subtly try and ask you out, saying things like “hey y/l/n, wanna go to Deadbeats with me tonight?” but you just aren’t getting it. He wants to yell that “it’s a goddamn date” whenever you ask “where everyone else is” but he doesn’t have the nerve.
- Tommy is definitely the type of guy to act really childish when he has a crush on someone (and after you start dating) and since you’re already friends this works out perfectly for him. He takes turns acting like a playground bully who pulls your pigtails and a really soft, sweet boy.
- After some time Tommy actually asks you out in a proper way that can’t be mistaken as just a friendly hang out. You genuinely think it’s a prank until he kisses the life out of you, but even then it takes a few dates for him to totally convince you.
- Your first date is at a nice restaurant. He wants to make the occasion stand out so he opts for the stereotypical romantic dinner date since the two of you had done just about everything else in town together as friends. He’s sort of out of his element; he’s blushing and giggling whenever you say something, it’s really quite the adorable sight to see.
- Since you knew each other before you went out you don’t have to deal with that trial period a couple goes through, you just skip to being girlfriend and boyfriend.
- When the gang finds out about the two of you dating Peewee accidentally rats the guys out for spying on you when you were in the showers. You aren’t exactly mad just really flustered and embarrassed. You drop your face into your hands and refuse to look at anyone all the while Tommy is attempting to make you feel better(and failing miserably).
“It’s really no big deal y/n, I mean you have a great body! You have no reason to be embarrassed believe me!”
“You could see me naked if you’d like? Then we’ll be even Steven.” 
- Obviously he doesn’t help his case very much but you knew what you were getting into when you agreed to go steady with him.
- His love language is very physical; he prefers to show you he cares through his actions rather than his words. 
- Hand kisses and hand holding.
- Hugs from behind where he just keeps you pinned against him.
- He’s a funny guy even when he isn’t trying to be.
- Gossiping together. 
- Getting to hear about the “master plans” he’s particularly proud of or the ones he needs your help with. Although sometimes he doesn’t tell you about the pranks he intends to pull because he doesn’t want you to try and stop him.
- Compliments even though he says them like he’s actually teasing you.
- He likes to make you shriek so be prepared to have him try to scare you at least once a week. 
- Drive in movie dates. 
- Bowling dates.
- Going to the record shop together. 
- Elbowing him when he tries to mess with Balbricker so that he can maybe avoid detention for once. I have this idea in my head (kinda like that niece ask) that Tommy’s girlfriend would be like Balbricker’s favorite student and it bothers Tommy to no end. Like~
 “How the hell do you like that evil bitch?”
 “What? Shes always been nice to me?”
- Visiting him in detention; he gets in trouble a lot.
- Kissing his beauty marks. 
- He ruins the moment a lot; it’s just his thing.
- Dancing with him. 
- You’re basically best friends who kiss and cuddle. 
- Do not tease him with not following through on kisses. That is a serious offense.
- He’s pretty smooth like sometimes he’ll say something and you’ll have to take a minute to recover from it.
- Him always defending you and being ready to kick someone’s ass.
- He likes all your jokes no matter how bad.
“That’s a shit joke y/n.”
“I liked it.” He pulls you into a hug with a smile.
- He cleans you up whenever something happens to you like a nosebleed or a scraped knee. He likes to take care of you it’s fun for him especially when he gets a kiss and hug for it.
- He loves seeing your lipstick on his handkerchief, he always smiles when you borrow it and there’s a little smudge of red on the corner.
- Cracking up when Balbricker tackles him.
- When she’s dragged away you jokingly ask if he’s alright, he replies that “it” is hurt and that you should kiss it better.
- Evidence suggests that he has a pretty big porky (with a mole) so…enjoy that.
- He probably jokingly flashes you when you tell him to get dressed (or something similar).
- Pins you against walls while the two of you makeout.
- Sit. In. His. Lap. At the diner. He wants everyone to see you together.
- He slaps your ass in public, he does not care in the slightest. He only cares if his parents are around and even then he’s still a little shit
- He’s definitely snuck through your window late at night and fucked up his knee because he immediately tripped and fell to your floor. You can’t stop laughing while you make sure he’s okay.
- You ever just want to get fucking thrown? He likes to throw you, it’s a perfect match. In a bed, a pool, doesn’t matter, you’re just getting tossed.
- Leaning your heads on each other’s shoulders.
- Affectionate name calling.
- Neck kisses.
- He likes to tickle you, he thinks your uncontrollable laughter is adorable.
- Billy and you get really close since he’s the one in the gang who sticks around Tommy the most. You guys make a good team.
- Once something happens he’s excited for the rest of the day because he can’t wait to be able to tell you about it. Like if he doesn’t get to see you for a while he’ll keep a list of what’s happened so that he doesn’t forget.
- He doesn’t really get jealous. If you wanted to date someone else you could have but you chose him; obviously that meant something, right? He sort of just thinks it’s funny to watch guys attempt to flirt with you and get turned down. He particularly enjoys it when you sit on his lap to make sure the other guy takes the hint; he always gets this smug look on his face.
- On one hand he thinks it’s cute seeing you jealous, on the other hand he gets a bit exasperated by it (kind of because he’s a perv and wants to spy on other girls without anyone trying to stop him).
- Most of your fights are probably about his incessant need to stare at other girls tits or his questionable choices when being caught by said girls. He’ll assure you that it was “just a joke” but that’s a pretty shitty excuse, isn’t it?
- If you break up with and ignore him for a little while he’ll learn his lesson. He’ll clean up his act when he realizes you aren’t going to let him play you. You’ll get an apology from a very uncomfortable boy after some time spent away from each other.
- He is genuinely sorry once he realized he actually really bothered and/or hurt you. He sort of just didn’t take your feelings into consideration, he’s not exactly experienced in real relationships. Like I said: he’ll clean up his act.

Last Stand of the Wreckers, Issue #1: A Couple of Nerds Nerd it Up
The year is 2009, and you are a British man in his mid-30s. You were a part of a fan club for Transformers in the 90’s, and you wrote a lot of fanfiction and comic scripts for it. The only real claim to fame you have is a novel-length fic you wrote to try and bridge the gap between Generation 1 and the Beast War era, one that a lot of people have read and refer back to. You’re pretty content with that, and don’t try to break into any sort of writing career on your own. You have a job in public service, you have a family.
 One day, your old buddy Nick gets in contact. He wants some help with a story he’s working on for the current holder of the Transformers comics. It’s called Last Stand of the Wreckers.
Things are about to get very busy for you.
Tumblr media
I’ll go ahead and say it- not any mechpreg in this one. You gotta wait until the sequel series for things to get weirdly horny, sorry to say. Also, technically only a plotting credit for Roberts here.
Tumblr media
We hadn’t yet gotten to the point where he was allowed to rub his grubby little nerd hands all over everything.
So, let’s get to the nitty-gritty of this thing, shall we?
Our story opens on a lovely, sunshiney day on the beautiful Garrus-9.
Tumblr media
Perfect weather for a picnic, don’t you agree?
Fortress Maximus and his cohorts are hard at work defending against the Decepticon forces, who have launched an attack on just about everything in the galaxy. This event is happening in the background of All Hail Megatron, as part of an offensive attack under the orders of ol’ Buckethead himself.
Kick-Off, another Autobot at Garrus-9, thinks that this is the work of someone on the inside, and Fort Max wants his prison intact for when they find the rat bastard who caused all this mess to happen, so he can lock that son of a gun up for a long, long time.
Then Overlord shows up.
Tumblr media
There he is, the nastiest creature to grace the galaxy, a bitch so extra he’s apparently got to cycle through BOTH of his alt-modes before he lands on the scene to wreck shop.
Prior to Last Stand of the Wreckers, Overlord didn’t really have a whole lot going on. It’s a big part of why he was made the antagonist for this miniseries- nobody else was using him, so no risk of fudging up any continuity happening outside of it. Prior to this, he was mostly part of the Japanese Transformers scene, appearing in the Super-God Masterforce anime and manga. He had a reputation for being a bad dude there too, but not quite to the level we’ll be getting to here.
Also, he was actually two people, who were married. He is not a married couple in Last Stand of the Wreckers.
Overlord asks which one of the much weaker, smaller, and less terrifyingly kissable Decepticons is in charge, and Skyquake steps up, despite the fact that everyone is obviously nervous about the fact Overlord is here. Overlord lets Skyquake know that the plan Megatron came up with is out, and he’s got the new hotness that’ll really put Garrus-9 on a map labelled “Places That Are the Actual Worst.” Of course, Skyquake, who seems to think a guy named Overlord can be reasoned with, says that they can’t deviate from Megatron’s grand plan, and promptly is shot to death for his troubles.
Tumblr media
And that’s a series wrap on Skyquake! Let’s give him a hand, folks!
With the little dude out of the way, Overlord’s decided it’s time to go full cowl on the Autobots, ripping them limb from limb. Literally, in some cases. It’s pretty gruesome, but then again, that’s kind of the point. This is a pretty dark miniseries, and not just because of all the violence- but we’ll get to all that later on.
With the Autobots subdued, it’s time for Overlord to really strut his stuff. He releases all the Decepticon prisoners, and promises them a grand old time of torturing their former captives. As a show of good will…? he throws them Fort Max to play with, saying that the only rule is they have to at least TRY to not kill him.
Smash cut to two years, four months, later.
Some nerds just got put on the Wreckers, and they truly are the cream of the crop.
Tumblr media
Garrus-9’s gonna be in good hands.
The dude who’s totally copping Optimus Prime’s look is Pyro, and the little dude with the blue helmet and tragic backstory is Ironfist. There’s also Dipstick, but this isn’t about him.
Just as things look like they can’t get any more exploded, their ride shows up, and it’s time to go. They say they’ll catch Dipstick later, but that’s honestly pretty unlikely, given the nature of the Wreckers as a group.
The boys load up into the ship, but find something not quite to their expectations- instead of Ultra Magnus being there to greet them, it’s none other than Verity Carlo, human extraordinaire!
Tumblr media
And she’s in her jammies. No real point in getting dressed for a bunch of guys who don’t even understand the concept of nudity, I guess, though I do have to question how vacuum sealed her breasts are.
Unless Verity is one of those godless heathens who actually owns an underwire sports bra.
The boys react to their first human in different ways- Ironfist has his parental instincts kick in hard, immediately ready to protect and potentially die for Verity. The others are a little less impressed, claiming that she’s some sort of stowaway who Magnus only puts up with because she’s good at playing house.
Kind of weird that these giant robots are so good at sexism, seeing as at this point, none of them should even know what a woman is.
This is the point where the big guns come in to greet our boys.
Tumblr media
So, here’s the deal: Garrus-9’s been out of contact with the rest of the Autobots for over a year at this point, and it was recently revealed by a mole in the Decepticon Justice Division that anyone getting even remotely close to the planet has been shot down. The destruction of the space bridges means that only a few folks are able to get to the place- cue the Wreckers.
Our boys have been chosen because they’ve done a lot of good work, and protected those around them. It’s an honor to be a Wrecker, but there’s always a catch:
Tumblr media
I’m sure it’ll be fine!
Flashback to two years ago, back on Garrus-9, and Overlord’s really enjoying his time on the prison planet, hunting Autobots for sport and scaring the bejesus out of everyone by popping out of nowhere.
Tumblr media
This is a typical reaction to seeing Overlord when he DOESN’T intend to kill you. The guy’s a menace.
Tumblr media
Looks like they caught their prey, and they’re feeling pretty good about it. What a nice thing for them, I’m glad they’re having fun.
Tumblr media
How does this guy know where he’s going? His chest’s so tall.
Our Autobot isn’t going down without a fight, though, as he takes the spear they’re stabbing him with and gives the ‘Cons a taste of their own medicine.
For about two seconds anyway, then he gets wasted by Overlord.
Of course, Overlord’s an equal-opportunity sadist, and also blasts the two guys who let a wounded Autobot get the better of them. With the game concluded and a valuable lesson taught, the Decepticons retire to the base, Overlord ordering the tall-chested guy- Snare- to bring the Autobot for recycling, something that Snare doesn’t seem terribly thrilled to do.
Tumblr media
Seriously though, has this dude ever seen his feet?
Back on Ultra Magnus’ ship, Ironfist’s gone and passed out. When he wakes up, he’s surrounded by the rest of the boys, who are really concerned about his well-being. Aww, it’s sweet that they care so much about their buddy.
Ironfist brushes off the concern, saying that he’s fine, and then we’re introduced to his deep, dark, horrible secret.
He’s a massive fucking nerd.
Tumblr media
And so are the guys who worked on this story. T’muk, indeed. Also, this robot has... my word, are those fingerprints? Roche, you spoil us.
Ironfist writes datalogs on the Wreckers in his spare time under the screen name Fisitron - Wreckers: Declassified, it’s called. Which, you know, good for him.
Tumblr media
Well this panel’s art direction isn’t ominous AT ALL.
Springer enters the scene at this point, also very concerned about Ironfist, to an honestly interesting degree. Almost like he knows something. Ironfist, again, brushes it off. Kup notes that Springer seems like he’s got something on his mind, which he does.
That something is the fact that he’s most likely sending these boys to die, as is the nature of the Wreckers.
Kup points out that it always feels worse when people die under your personal command, then asks if Springer’s conscience is being weighed on by Impactor at all. Springer seems like he really doesn’t want to talk about Impactor. Before the conversation can get any more soaked in implications, the two are called to the bridge.
A flashback to a month prior on Garrus-9: Overlord watches as Kick-Off brutalizes a Decepticon, Borehole, in combat for his amusement. It seems like Kick-Off’s done pretty well for himself in the nightmare hellscape that is Garrus-9, though it’s probably because he’s running on basic survival instincts at this point as opposed to any actual enjoyment of what’s happening around him.
Kick-Off wins the fight by ripping Borehole’s head off.
Tumblr media
That’s pretty metal. Most of what happens on Garrus-9 is pretty metal. Not in a good way. But metal nonetheless.
With the fight finished, Overlord congratulates the victor, and invites him back to his quarters to pick out his prize. Kick-Off seems to be off in his own little world at this point, probably disassociating due to trauma.
Back with the Wreckers, we finally see Ultra Magnus, Verity’s put a shirt on- likely at Magnus’ request- and we see what Springer and Kup were called to the bridge for. Looks like a Decepticon ship’s been shooting out a distress signal, and it ain’t lookin’ so hot at present. Ultra Magnus attempts to hail, but it looks like too little, too late, as the thing’s hull integrity goes kaput and the whole thing explodes.
Seems like the end of that, right?
Nah.
Tumblr media
Wow, that sure seems like it’ll be a problem. Better shoot that mysterious figure to death before they can be recognized by the cast and cause a whole slew of issues.
Tumblr media
Aw, man! Too late. Looks like someone broke out of jail, and nobody is happy to see him.
With that character reveal, we end Issue #1 of Last Stand of the Wreckers.

Happy birthday to Makoto and koichi!!!
Happy Birthday to the boys!! Sorry that this is so darn late, Wednesdays are my long days at school. Plus, one of my poor pups had ear surgery today! He’s doing okay, but he’s very drugged up and sleepy. Therefore, he needs a lot of attention. Got the cone of shame and everything.
But yeah, BIRTHDAY! Seiko made them t-shirts and everything. Let’s do some birthday headcanons, shall we?
Tumblr media
Makoto’s Birthday — 2020:
February 5th, 2020 brings a seemingly typical day for Makoto at first. As it’s a Wednesday, he’s still expected to drag his butt into work. He doesn’t even get to sleep in! Kyoko claims that they can pretend to be late because of “morning sickness”, but he doesn’t think anyone will believe it. She’s in her seventh month of pregnancy with their first, and fully intends to go to work with him. She’s much too stubborn to take maternity leave until she has to. At the very least she talks him into skipping a breakfast at home, as he’d have to be the one to cook it anyway. He later discovers that by the time he gets there, Aoi’s already baked some muffins for him and dropped off a cup of coffee — just the way he likes it! If that weren’t enough, some of his students left him gifts. One of his favourites is a small succulent in a hand-painted pot, which he cheerfully places by his window.
He assumes that maybe this is going to be the extent of his special day, but he’s wrong. When he goes to do his paperwork, he discovers that almost all of it has been done already. His meetings have been cut in half, and all because his friends took over some of his work! He’s overwhelmed with love, and makes sure to shoot them some thank you messages. He then does the rest of the work that’s left over, which holds him for just enough until Kyoko comes bursting into his office. She’s planned a picnic for his lunch. They eat together in the school’s gardens, chatting and cuddling. Kyoko can’t help but tell her husband how grateful she is for him, and how excited she is to be carrying his child. Makoto can’t help but laugh and tell her how lucky he feels to be the subject of her love.
The rest of his school day is spent in meetings and popping in and out of classrooms to chat with the students. When work ends, his friends drag him out for dinner, and then to the karaoke bar. They spend the night drinking, singing, and laughing until the late hours of the morning. Makoto, Yasuhiro, and Byakuya are mid-way through a trio song of “Hakujitsu” when they realize they should probably head out... as Kyoko and Toko had started to nap in the corner. To settle things down a bit, they pop into Aoi’s café — where they have a sweet birthday cake waiting for Makoto. He gets a cheerful singing of happy birthday, and all kinds of love and hugs from the people around him. They even prepared in advance and brought their gifts for him to the café!
Byakuya just straight up gifts him cash. He insists that he doesn’t know what to buy someone so painfully average, but everyone knows it’s because Makoto nearly had a heart attack at last year’s birthday gift. He really wasn’t expecting to get a car for his twenty-fifth, so for his twenty-sixth... Byakuya plays it safe. Toko and Komaru choose to collaborate on an adventure manga for him, in which he is depicted as a valiant hero saving people from despair (and inevitably winning the heart of his pretty detective boss in the process). Aoi puts together a collection of CDs for him, with every song he’s ever sung along to on it. It’s really hard not to cry when they put it on and hear Sayaka’s voice playing through the speakers. Yasuhiro opts to gift him a couple of free fortune tellings, before also passing along a brand new hoodie. Hiro says that he figures if he knew one thing, it was that Makoto loves comfortable clothing. So he thought it would be fun to pass along something he knew Makoto would use. As for Kyoko, well, she goes super romantic on her gift. It’s a huge notebook, filled to the brim with photographs and journal entries of all of the adventures they ever had together. She’s even notably added passages from her personal journals, in which she first begins to cite her feelings for him. At the end of the book, he finds the words “... and I can’t wait to have even more adventures with you”. 
Below this, is the ultrasound photo of their daughter.
Tumblr media
Koichi’s Birthday - 2037:
Koichi has never really been someone who likes too much birthday attention. Most of the time he’s content to spend it with his family. Growing up, he’d usually take the day off school. Kyoko would take the day off work, and they’d go around doing whatever he wanted to do until the rest of the family got back from work and school. 
This year, he chooses to go to school. Not because he really wants to, but because he has friends who are desperate to see him for his birthday! So his dad wakes up that morning for school as always, with the two of them wishing each other a mutual happy birthday. He gets to eat a happy breakfast with his family, who is sure to shower him with love and affection. It seems like none of them can stop talking about how old he’s getting! Even Seiko’s going on about it, as if she’s not getting older herself. 
When Koichi comes to school, his friends are sure to greet him with as much as they can manage. Tamiko, Natsumi, and Phoenix have decked out his desk in balloons and confetti. They’ve each placed a little wrapped gift for him on his desk, and Tamiko even went ahead and made him a birthday cupcake. The three of them (embarrassingly) sing a rendition of happy birthday in front of everyone, and the whole time, Phoenix is happily snapping pictures. 
Unfortunately, he does have to spend much of his day in class because it’s still a school day, but at least his friends make it fun. For lunch, they decide to sneak out and go to a local restaurant. Being a technical yakuza heiress, Natsumi covers all of lunch and tells everyone to order whatever they want. Naturally, the group stuffs themselves full of tasty food before returning back to school. They slip back in mostly undetected... well, if being noticed by Aoi but not chided is considered “mostly undetected”. 
After school ends, Koichi goes to meet his parents as always. He’s surprised to discover that his father has gone out to pick up their birthday cakes, and that he intends to meet them at a surprise location... Which his mother is taking them to. After picking up Seiko from school, Kyoko takes all of her kids to the local arcade. They’re told that they can play as many games as they want for [retty much as long as they want. The kids all decide to team up in an attempt to win a huge purple teddy bear, just for the fun of it. Seiko kicks everyone’s butts at whack-a-mole (including Makoto’s, when he shows up), Hope absolutely destroys at Dance Dance Revolution, Kyoko shoots a decent amount of hoops, Makoto is able to stop on just the right spot at the prize wheel multiple times, and Koichi has nothing but victory at the ski ball machine. They manage more tickets than they ever thought possible, and of course managed to nab the teddy bear. They decide it should be kept in Seiko’s room, given that she’s the kind of person who could probably find space for something like that.
When they return home, Hope and Seiko challenge their brother to play a quick game of basketball outside while Makoto prepares dinner. Being the most athletic of the three, naturally, Koichi beats his sisters into the ground. But they get a lot of good laughs out of it, and they end off the match with Hope having slung Koichi over her shoulder and walking him back into the house for dinner. Dinner is Oyakodon, paired alongside some homemade gyoza. Despite having had a big lunch, Koichi eats something like three helpings, which his family teases him about. “The older he gets, the more he eats! He’s gearing up for that big growth spurt!”
For dessert, they of course, have two birthday cakes. One of them is Makoto’s, and the other Koichi’s, and each of the boys gets their own rendition of happy birthday. Makoto’s birthday cake is a vanilla-flavoured cake, whereas Koichi’s is a strawberry ice cream cake. They take turns pretending to blow at each other’s candles, just to mess around. It makes for some great pictures. Everyone tries to have small slices of each cake, so they can enjoy it. The only people who get big pieces are of course, the birthday boys. And when cake is done, they follow it with presents. Being the younger one of the two, Koichi gets to go first.
From his parents, he gets a new video game. One that he’d been saving his allowance for for a long time, I might add. He’s ecstatic! He’s sure to thank his parents several times, especially considering that they’d complained about how pricey it was. Seiko’s birthday gift to him comes with a card she made herself, decorated with as many happy penguins as she could fit onto the page. They’re his absolute favourite animal, after all! The gift she ends up giving him is a set of different tea flavours for him to try -- most of them being far off from the kinds you can find in stores. She also throws in a little plushie penguin that Kyoko and Hope helped her sew. Truthfully, it’s not really pretty, but Koichi loves it. He promises to treasure it, before tearing into Hope’s gift. She’s managed to get him a brand new stack of novels, ones from authors she knows he admires. She confesses that she sort of raided his room to figure out which authors were his favourite. 
They watch Makoto open his gifts next. He receives about what you’d expect for a man his age. Hope gifts him a whole bunch of new yarn to knit with, as well as some of his favourite candy. Seiko gives him a clay sunflower she made at school in her art class, as sunflowers are his favourite flower. Koichi gifts him a set of headphones that have become popular in the past year or so, figuring he will make use of them while he’s working or trying to sleep. Kyoko gives her husband her gift in the form of kisses... as well as multiple picture frames that contain photos of their family. Notably, even the older pictures of his parents that she found are added. 
All in all, the boys have a great day.

On A Pretty Neck
Artist!Y/N
Mentions: Fluff
Y/N wants to paint Harry nude.
Tumblr media
It was supposed to be a simple schedule. Finish up the ceramic sculpture, turn in that landscape painting project, put on the second coat of clear varnish on her other painting, then pop the question to Harry. Maybe she added tons of things before the Harry thing just because she wanted to put it off, but she wouldn’t ever admit that. Either way, she had planned to ask him the question when his tour ended. He’d already planned to come stay in her apartment once he was finished touring and doing concerts and had plenty of free time to spend with his girl, but he didn’t know what she was going to ask of him. Y/N wasn’t even sure she had the guts to do it.
They’d been dating 3 1/2 years, so she shouldn’t be nervous, not one bit. But as she paced her apartment, bumping into the corner of her couch repeatedly because her mind was just that clouded at the moment, she was ready to throw up from anxiety.
Is it really that weird to want to paint your boyfriend naked?
He was the most beautiful person Y/N had ever laid eyes on, undoubtedly and irrevocably. She was 100% sure she’d never find anyone who made her feel the way Harry does. But what if somehow someone got a picture of the painting, then everyone would know what Harry looked like naked, and that would put a bump in his career. And what if he says no? What if he doesn’t feel comfortable enough to do it and Y/N looks like an idiot? What if he thinks it’s weird?
“Love?” Harry’s voice rings through her front door.
Her eyes blow wide, stopping in her place and head snapping to look over at the door as it slides open. Harry steps inside, shoving the key that she’d given him to her apartment back in his pocket, a glowing smile on his face that almost had Y/N’s prior worries completely melting away. For a second, she’s consumed by the simple happiness that he’s here, in front of her, arms out as he scoops her up into a tight hug. “Hazza,” She breathes, eyes fluttering shut as she’s wrapped by him once more, arms tight around his neck and burying her face into his soft curls.
His arms are firm around her waist, face buried in her neck, pressing soft kisses to any skin his lips can reach, mumbling, “Missed yeh like crazy, Y/N.”
She giggles softly as they pull away, “Y’saw me when you stopped here for your shows at Madison Square. I was there both nights, silly.”
He pouts, “That was a month ago, lovie, much too long without yeh kisses.” His pout slowly turns to a smirk as he leans down some, large hand cupping her face as their lips brush. “Didn’t yeh miss me?”
She hums teasingly, fingers weaving through his hair, nudging her lips a bit onto his, “Maybe I did now that you mention it... ‘M just glad y’didnt forget all about lil’ole me while you were being a big time rockstar. Had to fend for m’self, y’know.”
Harry kisses her softy, biting gently at her bottom lip before asking lowly, “Y’tryna tell me somethin’, lovie?”
She shrugs, “Just that after a month or so...” She leans up, trailing kisses up his jaw until she’s reached his ear, “Y’fingers can only do so much when y’know what your missin’.”
A low growl leaves Harry’s lips, and it’s less than a second for him to scoop her up, wrapping her legs around his hips as he carries to her bedroom, already fumbling for the condom in his pocket.
+
“Y’love New York, you know it,” She mumbles happily, pressing a small kiss to his bare chest before leaning up so their faces are level, “And y’love me hopefully.”
Harry chuckles, hand sliding up her side, feeling her soft skin that he missed so dearly under his fingertips, then tucking some of her hair behind her ear, “Yeah, cuz after three years I wouldn’t be sure. I knew I loved yeh after one month, lovie, don’t be silly.”
Y/N blushes, kissing him softly, feeling herself relax even more than before as she feels his hands on her, his bare body pressed to hers under the white duvets of her queen sized bed. Harry hums at her touch, tongue slipping past her lips, deepening their kiss more. It feels too good, almost, even after the time they’ve been together, neither getting tired of something as simple as a kiss.
“That’s good,” Y/N says softly between their kisses, then pulling away some, “It’d be a bit embarrassing f’me if y’didnt. Don’t think I’d ever be able to love again, honestly.”
Harry rolls his eyes, though unable to contain a grin, “Oh, shut up, y’sap.”
She bites her lip a bit as she watches him, hand running down bicep, thumb caressing his skin. The question had managed to pop into her mind again. Now was the time, she decided. “Haz,” She mumbles, seeing his eyes meet her, a small hum being his response to let her know he’s listening. “C-Could y’do something for me?”
He nods, brows furrowing some as he sees her nervous expression, “Anything, darling.”
Y/N’s cheeks flush, a little huff leaving her lips as she prepares herself to say it. A little whine leaves her lips as she sits up, straddling one of his thighs as she sits back on her heels. She’s still completely naked from their previous actions, but Y/N knows better than to be insecure around Harry. “I-I’m gonna sounds stupid,” She starts, “But just think about it, okay? And you don’t have to if you don’t want to.”
Harry frowns, “What’s got yeh all worked up, lovie?” He rests a hand on her hip, other hand gripping her thigh and pulling it over his leg so she straddles his hips, “Y’can ask me anything.”
She opens her mouth to do it, to finally ask him about what she’d been wanting to do for a year. Though, she closes her mouth again. “Don’t laugh, yeah?” She quietly asks, hands resting on his tummy as she looks down at him. Their position would seem weird to any other person, both completely naked, Y/N sat atop Harry’s lap and not a bit of themselves not exposed to each other, but a serious conversation going on between them.
“Wouldn’t ever laugh at yeh,” Harry promises.
She sighs, looking at him for a couple seconds before inhaling deeply. “I want to paint you,” She blurts, then adding, “Nude.”
Harry’s taken back a bit, as that was not what he was expecting. “You want to paint me... nude?”
Y/N blushes, though nodding, “I just think y’body’s so pretty, all y’freckles and moles, your muscles but also your little rolls. I’ve just always wanted to, y’know, really get close and be able to paint every inch of you...” She’s getting more embarrassed by the second, “Well, not every inch as in, like, your cock, I just-“ She lets out a little huff, one that Harry finds adorable. “Forget I said anything.” She climbs from his lap, walking over to the door so she can go sit on the couch and wallow in self pity. She sounded so stupid!
“Hey, hey, lovie,” Harry pouts, standing up and quickly catching up to her, wrapping her up in his arms from behind. “Why’d y’leave me? Now, I’m cold,” He whines, peppering small kisses behind her ear.
“I sounded so stupid,” Y/N sighs, arms sliding over his that were wrapped around her, “I know y’probably weirded out, but-“
“‘M not weirded out,” Harry chuckles, “You’re an artist, Y/N, and it’d be an honor to have yeh paint me.”
Her cheeks couldn’t get any hotter then, turning to look at him, “Y’serious?”
Harry smiles, “As serious as serious gets, honey bunch.”
She’s quiet, just looking at him for a second before a little squeal leaves her lips and she’s attacking him in kisses. Harry grins as she kisses his lips multiple times, then some around his cheeks and nose and eyes. “C’mon, what are we waiting for?!” She excitedly says, rushing over to her drawer to pull on new panties and a bra, then throwing on a baggy t-shirt and some pajama pants. Harry chuckles at her excitement, grabbing his boxers from before, pulling them on along with sweats and a t-shirt. Right as he’s got his shirt on, she’s excitedly gripping his hand and dragging him out of her apartment. She can’t stop her giddy smile as she drives them to her studio, just a couple blocks from her apartment.
As they’d reached the building, Harry following Y/N as she led him through the place, the two getting in an elevator and going up to the top floor, Y/N inserting a card before it would move. Harry’d never seen her studio, at least not this one. She’d moved to a new studio a couple months before his tour started. When they walk in, Harry realized this one is much bigger than her last one. It has a large glass wall over looking the city, now a soft pink glow cast from the sky and into the open room. It’s mainly just open space, large shelves holding all of her canvas paintings, looking like almost a hundred of them stacked together, another corner holding a wooden table along with a clay wheel, along with a huge block of clay sat in a tightly sealed plastic bag. Then, there’s large canvas’ with half done paintings strewn on the other side of the room: a portion of a face, a landscape, etc. Harry can even see a big figure covered by a large plastic drape, what he can only assume is a clay sculpture.
“This one’s so different from your last,” Harry comments, looking around. He smiles fondly as he sees her work, and he can even recognize a small stack of canvas’ where he can get glimpses of green eyes and brown curls. He glances to his lovie happily, somehow feeling very proud that she paints him in her free time.
“The rent is more, but,” She shrugs, “It’s worth it. I was running out of space for all my paintings, but most of them are up on the market right now and just waiting to be shipped out, so some more space will clear up in eventually.”
Harry nods, seeing her going over to a huge drawer filled with untouched canvas’, her flicking through different sizes until she decides on one, pulling out a huge one. Her arms have to spread out almost completely to hold it, and she sets it on a heavy duty easel, then scrambling back over, but opening a smaller drawer. “Uh,” She looks over at him, a couple pencils in her hand, “Can you, y’know, get naked?”
Harry chuckles, teasing her a bit as he pulls his t-shirt off, “Hm, so eager, lovie. Didn’t we just have sex?”
Her cheeks flare, a sight Harry will never get tired of, “Shut up.” Harry pulls of his boxers and sweats in one swipe, then walking over to her as she continues to look through her vast array of drawing pencils. “Can’t find an HB, lovie?” He knows her so well, well enough that he’s memorized what kind of pencil she likes to do her outlines in the best.
Y/N nods, then letting out a little cheer as she locates one, plucking the pencil out and turning to him. She stops as she’s she takes in his nude state, a little smirk on her lips as she taps his bum. “Hey, no touching the art,” Harry jokes, following her back to her set up canvas. She rolls her eyes, setting her pencils down and walking behind the canvas to the open spot, white walls and floors already offering a perfect blank slate to decorate her scene however she wants it. It takes her a bit to look at what props she has before she figures out exactly how she wants to do this. Grabbing a large white block, she drags it over to him. “C’mere,” she mumbles, gently tugging him closer to it, then instructing him to rest his knee on it and sit back on his heel, other leg casually strayed in front of him. “Just relax y’back,” She says, nodding some as he does so so he’s slouched a bit, not too much, but looking comfortable. “Now, look up as if y’looking at something on the ceiling... rest your hands on y’thighs... perfect, stay right there, hazza.” She backs up to look at him, then a little giddy smile crawling on her lips as she jogs back up to quickly press a kiss to his cheek.
He breaks out in a smile at that, before Y/N is rushing over to her canvas and grabbing her pencil. He can only hear her pencil moving, quick little strokes, then erasing...then more pencil strokes. Harry sits there for a good half an hour, the first couple minutes spent of him taking little glances over at her just to see her cute little expressions as she’s focused. He always loved watching her work, watching as her tongue poked out a bit at the corner of her mouth, brows a bit creased, and eyes so concentrated. Though, this time, she was constantly looking between him and the paper, and so he was caught staring multiple times.
After an hour, she finally backed up from the canvas, a little smile on her lips, looking between her work and him, making sure there was nothing out of proportion or messed up.
“Are you finished?” He asks, looking over. His neck is a bit cramped from leaning back so long, and he stands, stretching out his muscles.
“It’s just an outline,” Y/N tells him, quickly draping a blanket over it before he can peek. “Y’don’t get t’see it until I’ve painted it, and I haven’t even decided if I wanna do acrylic or oil yet.”
Harry laughs at his girl, kissing her temple, “Well, while I’m waiting, how about we make sure y’painting is accurate?”
“How should we do that?”
He casually shrugs, “I hear a lot of artists study what they’re painting very thoroughly.”
“Oh?” She giggles, hands running down his sides, “You don’t think I did enough studying earlier?”
Harry shrugs once more, “I’d count that as me studying you more so.”
“M’studio doesn’t exactly have a bed,” Y/N points out, though halfheartedly because both know that that is not a problem.
“Oh, but it had a floor and a table and windows,” He cheekily smirks, “We’ve never tried windows, hm?”
“You’re lucky that we’re on the top floor, y’perv.”
“You love it,” Harry scoffs before pressing their lips together.
+
It was another week before Harry got any word of the painting. Anytime he’d ask, Y/N would just smile and tell him to wait patiently. It was killing him. Harry’s never been painted before. Well, he’s Harry Styles, so people and fans have painted him before, based off pictures and such, but he’d never been painted before. Not only was this the love of his life painting him, she was painting him from a live outline she’d done, and she was painting him nude, every bit of muscle and fat open to her, every blemish of his skin. And not to overthink himself into a pit, but she was going to be painting his cock for goodness sake! Harry was really a bit nervous that she’d find something she didn’t like about him, something that would end what they had.
Y/N had him come in once more around a similar time of day as the last time, just so that she could get the colors correct. As much as Harry wouldn’t believe it if she told him, Y/N was slowly falling even more in love with him as she progressed through the painting, little smiles falling on her lips as she would add shading where he had a little extra fat, or drawing one of his freckles or moles. She’d made the canvas big so that she could draw every detail of his body in depth, and it was only solidifying how she felt. Harry was an absolute masterpiece. From the brimming abs on his stomach, to his pudgy love handles, and his large hands rested on his muscular thighs that led to his uncut cock (even a bit big when it wasn’t hard), and his tuft of curly pubic hair leading up to his happy trail. Y/N decided that she could look at him for forever, never grow tired of him.
So, when she told him that he could see it, they were both nervous. Harry wanted to see what she saw, and Y/N wanted him to love it as much as she did. The air was thick as she led him back into her studio for the third time, this time to reveal what the other two visits were leading up to.
Neither knew what to say, instead just opting to stand in each others arms for a bit, Y/N’s head rested on Harry’s chest, swaying a bit. “I love you,” She mumbles, looking up at him.
Harry’s eyes meet hers, “I love you, too, lovie.”
Maybe that was really all they needed to say. Y/N slowly pulled herself from him, walking over to her canvas that was in front of him, gripping the sheet that covered it. She bites her lip gently before pulling it off, watching the fabric billow to the ground and reveal her work.
Harry’s eyes met, well, himself. There he was, kneeled on the white block, except Y/N has painted it into a chunk from a Roman column, and Harry also noticed she’d added massive, intricate wings sprouting from his back, looking celestial and powerful. His body has a soft pink glow to it, the background darker, contrasting with his tan skin yet also blending a bit with his messy curls and tattoos.
“Love,” He mumbles in awe.
“Do you like it?” She asks nervously.
Harry really can’t say anything, so he just cups her face and connects their lips in a passionate kiss. “God, I love you,” He mumbles into their kiss.
Y/N’s blushing once more, kissing him back just as sincerely, then pulling away to ask again, “So you do like it?”
Harry laughs, “I love it, really. Sounds narcissistic to say I love a painting of myself, but y’made it so...” He tries to find the words.
“Just say pretty,” She giggles.
Harry chuckles, “I can’t believe I’m dating a baby Van Gogh.”
Y/N rolls her eyes jokingly, “Van Gogh did more landscapes, silly.”
“Oh, my mistake.”
She scoffs, pushing him away teasingly, “I painted you, mister, I deserve more respect.”
“I know, ‘m sorry,” He pouts, collecting her back in his arms, pressing little kisses all over her face, making her squirm in his arms. “You painted me as an angel,so now we’re matching.”
“And you call me a sap,” She jokes, cupping his face to halt his kisses. Their eyes lock, a little smile on her face as she looked at him, his face all squished up from her hands on his cheeks, a dorky grin on his lips and emerald eyes gleaming into hers. “I love you,” She quietly says, kissing his grin.
“Gonna need more than that,” Harry puckers his lips, closing his eyes as he waits for another kiss.
Y/N can’t help but giggle, “Hm, pucker up, angel boy.”

4 years ago, I heard about “Star vs. The Forces of Evil”. I didn’t think much of it, but I gave it a shot (it was like a childhood callback to my “Sailor Moon” phase when I was younger) to see how it was. I made a little review about it to let everyone know what I thought and after a couple of more episodes, I was drawn to it! A twist on the Magical Girl genre of the heroine open with her being magical and fighting villains while still going about an everyday life. Neat characters, funny dialogue, cool storylines, original music scores, plot twists and the shipping dramas! I was so obsessed I made fanart/animation, bought whatever merchandise there was of it! (Star and Marco’s Guide to Mastering Every Dimension (original and Stump Day Edition) and The Magic Book of Spells) and been having dreams of the show as well! My reviews have changed since the first season. It started out as just words, but then came frames and then later pictures and now, finally gifs! Writing is my passion. I just love writing down how I feel about things and having others see it and what I have to say about it as if I’m a voice to the people. Speaking of which, I gotta get to this finale review before I’m over my writing limit is up. Lol!
Tumblr media
We open with what we saw in the promo for finale. Star transforms in her golden Mewberty form getting ready to enter the portal to The Realm of Magic, say The Whispering Spell there and destroy all the magic. Despite the major drawback to the aftermath (No Starco😢). She turns down Eclipsa and Moons advice on taking on Mina all together and is just single minded on her plan. Star, maybe that would’ve been a better idea. You know, like the whole Total Annihilation Spell thing that Eclipsa used! That could still work! Huh!? HUH!? HUH!? C’mon!!! (are we not gonna call her out for making a hasty decision based on her impulsive anger from her Moms betrayal!?) Before that however, she didn’t tell Marco the bad news of her plan to save him from heartbreak and Hekapoo was cool with Star going forward with her plan. Uh, seriously Hekapoo!? YOU’RE GONNA DIE! WHO’S THIS CHILL ABOUT DYING!? Guess after literally everything she thought, “Eh, I lived a long life. Besides, magic sucks a**”. Okay, I mean, if that’s how she feels then.
Tumblr media
Marco goes with her and after getting one last back handed burning slap on the head (“Running with Scissors”), takes the wand from Moon and gives it the old “Marcos wand” look! (“Deep Dive”) Unknownst to Moon that he’s used it before. (the drawn on mole would’ve been a nice touch. I’m just sayin’). This is it! Their one last adventure before the whole things over. With that, they hold hands (Marco choosing the top arm of Stars left) and walk into the portal to destroy the magic. Oh God!
Tumblr media
They arrive in The Realm of Magic and Star tries to do The Whispering Spell while Marco eats pudding that Glossaryck left behind for him and Star. Unfortunately, Star starts to lose her memories and Marco realizes he’s still fine. He finds out it’s the pudding! The Pudding!? OMG! You mean to tell me this is why Glossaryck kept eating pudding the whole time!? Not just because it was delicious! WOW! Marco shoves some pudding in Star which help keep her memories and then they see..............
Tumblr media
Thomas Draconius Lucitor! Riding on the corrupted dark unicorn from “Mama Star”! Hey Tom! How you been!? Haven’t seen you since well, that episode I just mentioned! Last we checked, you were stuck in your demon form on fire and with that seatbelt still on!..............which you’re now wearing as a sash for some reason. Guess you never were sent back to Mewni, or the Underworld, or wherever else cuz no one bothered to mention what became of you. Tom, we can explain! A lot of sh*t happened in Mewni and it was all Mina (and Moons) fault! Also Starco is for finally canon and Stars gonna destroy the magic! Btw, why do you have glowing blank eyes like Stars real/fake ancestry?....................Tom, you’re scaring us............Tom, why are you charging at Starco!? Are you pissed that they forgot you!? TOM! TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Tumblr media
Back on Mewni, River and Eddie finally make it to the sanctuary to save Globgor and just before they could open it, Mina catches them and the two biggest idiots of Mewni accidentally blurt out what they’re gonna do! (face palms). No thanks to that, Mina now tries to get into the sanctuary.
Tumblr media
Over to The Realm of Magic again, Marco fights off Tom using the wand by blasting every bit of whimsical spell Star does and some with his own while Star finally does The Whispering Spell and for the finale, we actually hear what all that whispering was! “Break the bond, tear the fabric, cleave the stone, stop the magic” again and again. And it works! HOLY SH*T IT ACTUALLY WORKS! I didn’t think her plan would work by doing that, but it’s true! It’s freakin’ true!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
However, it still doesn’t work. I knew it, I mean, saying the Whispering Spell in The Realm of Magic to destroy all magic! Puh-leeze! It’s only for the wand! :P. Just then, Moon and Eclipsa w/ Meteora show up and decide to help. That’s the quickest moment of forgiving I’ve ever seen, after all what Moon did, Star just accepted her again! Marco finally stops Tom from killing him w/ the corrupted dark unicorn by feeding him pudding, but in the process, getting stabbed! Don! Don! Don! After Tom is cured, he and Marco head back to Star. 
Tumblr media
Star, Moon, Eclipsa and Meteora Dip Down in their Mewberty forms (the fandom gets their wish on seeing Eclipsa do that) and are joined by the Past Queens of Mewni (starting from Skywynne not the 26 before her cuz that’s all the queens the book mentioned cuz the staff didn’t have enough time to come up with designs, personalities, history, etc for them and also Skywynnes mother, Lyric, didn’t save the original Magic Book of Spells :P) in spiritual form assisting them with destroying magic. They still don’t talk as they didn’t have time to that and cuz it’s the last episode and we’re about wrapping up here, so :P to that.
Tumblr media
Mina finds The Realm of Magic and charges after Star, Moon, Eclipsa and Meteora, but gets distracted when she sees her queen, Solaria, and gets attacked by the dark corrupted unicorn. Mina calls out to her for help, but Solaria, the queen that created Mina, transformed her and thought of her as her answer to finishing off monsters, did nothing! Nada, ZIP! Sure she hated monsters, but did she hate monsters more than she loves her daughter!? Some things are just more important. 
Tumblr media
After he was done with Mina, the dark unicorn goes after the queens, but Marco f**king flips the horse! DAMN! Well, he’s fought monsters, did a bunch of cool sh*t in the Neverzone, helped save Mewni twice and punched Toffee right through him! So yeah! He can flip a horse! 
Tumblr media
Suddenly, the magic starts getting destroyed, the baby unicorns melt, the wand is no more and the realm prepares its destruction.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Queens start disappearing with Moon seeing her mother, Comet, one last time, Solaria accepting of Eclipsas monster love and her hybrid granddaughter and most of all, Glossaryck goin’in bye bye. Farewell Glossaryck, you were pretty annoying, but kinda right. It was nice knowin’ ya. 
Tumblr media
Star then tells Marco he needs to go up the waterfall to Earth, but doesn’t answer him on the bad news that they’ll never see each other again :’(. However, I think he figured it out from their tearful good-bye.
Tumblr media
 Everyone comes out the well, but Star makes a big sacrifice and decides to go to Earth to be with Marco. Turns out, Marco stayed behind in the destruction of The Realm of Magic cuz he too thought, with or without magic, ღ they belong together! ღ STARCO FOREVER! 
Tumblr media
With that, they hug for the very last time with their last bit of magic giving them their glowing cheek marks, unknown what will become of them during the destruction (possibly death) and then 💥BOOM!💥
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The sanctuary is now gone along with the magic, well dimension traveling, (the narwhal blasting) and most of all, no more signature cheek marks on Star or anyone else who had ‘em on the show! And Star floats a drift on an alligator where Moon finds her riding on another alligator like a jet ski.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The new Solarian army falls apart and all the Monsters, like Buff Frog and his kids, are now finally safe from harm all thanks to Star. Destroying the magic actually did turn out to be the solution to fix everything (I personally didn’t think so cuz I would’ve preferred Star go with Eclipsa’s Total Annihilation Spell from the beginning) and Stars tapestry did predict the outcome of it:Magic gone, no more Glossaryck, Mina defeated, Monsters safe, Reconciled with Moon, Eclipsa and her family alive and well and the Monster Temple still standing, but still, no Starco 😢. However, Star was still happy all the monsters were okay, her family safe and even Eclipsa and her family safe.
Tumblr media
With the magic gone, Mina Loveberry has been brought down to normal and unfortunately, still coo coo! Now, with the other villains in the show, most of ‘em got redeemed (Ludo, Tom and Meteora) and others died (Toffee), but our final “Forces of Evil”, Mina, who can no longer transform into her Hulk-like warrior self, still remains mentally ill (there’s no cure for that). Moon tries to talk some final sense into her and help her out with her diseased mind, but Mina refuses her help cuz despite the fact that she’s depowered, she runs off continuing her goal on eliminating monsters cuz it “lingers to her”. Well, she’s a lost cause and no one really gives a sh*t about her anymore (except maybe Manfred), so good-luck to ya ya psycho b*tch!
Moon apologizes to Star for working along side with Mina and making the biggest f*ck up in history, but Star easily forgives her since she (Star) always f*cks up too. I guess the apple doesn’t really fall far from the tree after all, huh!? Star says it’s cuz all families f*ck up (some more so than others), but that what they need to do is just live and learn from it all. So yeah, it’s true. Star heads back to the infirmary to check up on her friends and since the magics gone, those Solarian fatal wounds have already disappeared and everyones okay. Like Pony Head and Rich Pigeon! Star tells Pony Head that destroying the magic was the only solution there was to defeat Mina and save everyone, but despite the fact that she’s happy all is well and done, the tragedy of it is there’s no more Marco Ubaldo Diaz! NO MORE STARCO! IT DIDN’T LAST! 😭 He’s just back on Earth with Janna cuz that’s where they belong much like how Kelly went back to Woolandia and Talon at that Dragon Spit bar thing and that she can’t deal with Pony Heads sassy character trait stuff right now! 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pony Head sees how heartbroken Star is and cheers her up by saying that Kelly is crying tears...........of joy! And happily goin’ on adventures with her “Battle Buddy” Jorby and that Talon is making up cool stories about his adventure to the bar taverns and it does in fact cheer Star up.
Tumblr media
From the magic gone, we learn what became of the MHC and that they were reduced to just junk. Omnitraxus Prime is now a lifeless skull like the ones you see stereotypically in the desert, Rhombulus is now a lifeless crystal which was originally his head and his free will snake arms are now just regular old snakes and Idk what happened to Hekapoo, but I’m assuming since she was a demoness, she must’ve just turned to a poof of smoke or something. Omnitraxus was so close to be mature, but sadly he failed to realize what Hekapoo saw. Still disappointed in how Rhombulous turned out (sigh) oh so disappointed. Oh! And uh, Sean just overfilled himself on pizza. He was never important. Whatever. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Just then, Tom shows up and he’s okay too! Pony Head didn’t mention that he was looking for Star after she decided to supposedly leave Mewni to live on Earth and I think it’s cuz she ships Starco now cuz we all know Tomstar failed not once, but twice! Hey! It’s the finale, so I’m tellin’ it like it so :P (third times not always the charm). Any way, Tom shows Star a portal that”s floating around in the distance and that it leads to Earth! (gasp)
Tumblr media
Speaking of Earth, since the The Realm of Magic was located under Britta’s Tacos, and is now gone, the restaurant is too. Oh great! 😒 First we lose The Bounce Lounge, then Quest Buy and now the taco place! (as if it wasn’t bad enough we don’t have Starco!). The whole destruction to them was known as an “earthquake”. 
Tumblr media
Marco is on a gurney, but he’s safe and healed now that the magics gone with that unicorn wound no longer there and his parents and baby sister are relived he’s okay. Sadly, much like Star, he's miserable without her. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Janna rolls in on her gurney attached to a heart rate monitor and she cheers up Marco by saying even though he lost Star, they still have each other as friends. Despite the fact that she drove him nuts most of the time, he did in fact consider her a friend and vice versa. Janna then tells Marco about a portal from a distance that leads to Mewni! (gasp). Janna then tells Marco that he should run for it while she fakes her death in 60 seconds to distract everyone. DAMN! RUN! DIAZ! RUN!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So I’m guessing their last bit of magic together while embracing one last time was the result of that portal (no it’s not a “gas leak” from the “earthquake”), but how long is it gonna remain open!? Both our heroes run like Hell to see each again with a build up theme tune playing with Star punching her way through the Forest of Certain Death and Marco violating traffic laws cuz one thing is set on their minds, make Starco canon! 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Marco uses Jackies skateboard to head faster while Star turns down a friendly game of basketball with Ludo and Dennis. So nice that we saw more of the minor characters again. sk8er girl Jackie with her new French mate, Chloe, starter villain Ludo fully redeemed and happy, those two guys that Daron never wanted to exist, Alfonzo and Ferguson, fangirl Starfan13, mean girl Brittany (well finally! Where was she!? Still wish we saw Jeremy though even if he was a little sh*t, I’d still would've liked to have seen him) we even saw that creepy woman and her new dog, “Willoughby”! (”Fetch”). 
Okay enough about them, let’s get back to Starco! They’re getting closer!........
Tumblr media
closer!.........
Tumblr media
CLOSER! AND- 
Tumblr media
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! 
WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHY!? THIS CAN’T BE! YOU MEAN TO TELL ME I WAITED 4 YEARS, WATCHED 4 SEASONS AND WENT THROUGH 4 SHIPS (JARCO, OSTAR, TOMSTAR AND KELLCO) FOR NOTHING! Why does Daron hate us!? Huh, why!? This is it! THIS is how the story ends!? No Starco, no endgame, no HAPPILY EVER AFTER! NO NOTHING! WHAT’S IT GONNA TAKE TO MAKE STARCO HAPPEN!? WHEN DRAGONCYCLES FLY ACROSS THE EARTH SKY!?
Tumblr media
Wait! Are those dragoncylces? Flying across the Earth sky!? Holy Sh*t! They are! 
Tumblr media
And are those, mermaids!? Swimming in the aqueduct!? (was that a giant spider?).  
Tumblr media
Is that Rich Pigeon getting chased up a tree by Earth dogs!? 
Tumblr media
Did a helicopter just fly by the Cloud Kingdom over the Pony Head family!? 
Tumblr media
Whoa! Whoa!.....WHOA! Are you telling me, that Earth and Mewni have merged into one whole dimension and that it’s now Earthni!? Was it that last bit of Starco magic from the embrace that caused that portal to open and explode to do this!? WOW! Now I get it! “Cleaved”! Good one there, good one! Okay, so it’s a little hectic what with the two worlds becoming one thing, but maybe with time, everyone will get used to it (shrugs).
So if the two worlds merged then that means.............................
Tumblr media
STARCO AT LAST! The final unification! Better than the one from “Battle for Mewni”, not awkward like in “Lint Catcher” just pure unadulterated Starco and with their beautiful theme music playing once again to emphasize it. They meet, they smile, they walk towards each other and...............they say Hi. No big kiss or hug or even a silent stare, just plain old “Hey how ya doin’?”. It’s a little tame, but considering this is a children's show, it’s still sweet and more importantly, it was endgame ;). 
🎶 I wanna be your endgame,
I wanna be your first string,
I wanna be your A-Team,
I wanna be your endgame, endgame 🎶
Since Star Butterfly wasn’t there to do her closing inner monologue like how she did with her opening one in the pilot of the show, I’ll be doing it here. So the show ended with Starco like we all hoped for except with the unexpected twist that both their worlds, Earth and Mewni, collided together. Never in a millions years would we have thought this would happen! I’ve seen fan works of Starco either living together on Earth or living as royals in Mewni with their “Starco child(ren)”, but the fact that we got a best of both worlds finale was a huge surprise! Now the happy couple can still be with their families and friends and even have Meteora and Mariposa grow up together like they promised they would. If you ask me, this sounds more like a new beginning, like how are the Humans and Mewmens gonna adapt to their new surroundings and interactions among each other like it’s the start of a whole new season! But I guess that was left to the fans to use their imagination on how that’ll go cuz so many people already had left the show to pursue other things and that they needed to wrap it up quickly. However, we’re still left with some unanswered questions such as why we didn’t see the Septarian, Seth, and how he was the head honcho of the Septarian army cuz he was a big deal in The Magic Book of Spells and since that book was foreshadowing everything in the final season, I assumed we might’ve gotten a look at him and maybe have him make an appearance since it was last said he disappeared, but I guess like in the book, he’s history. Second, there’s Toffee, from the very beginning he wanted the magic destroyed such as having Star use The Whispering Spell in the Season 1 finale and then corrupting it in the tv movie and it wasn’t until near the end where Star realized he was right to do so after all the chaos that’s been goin’ on. Granted it wasn’t for the same reasons she wanted, but overall just doing away with it to not give anyone an advantage to use against someone. I actually thought (like some fans) that he’d come back again, cuz he was mentioned a lot and it was hinted in the final seasons episode premiere about the use of magic and that he might’ve, but after two seasons and a movie, I suppose it was enough and at least he got a cameo in one. Still, his actions were a big concern for Star. Thirdly, the rebel princesses, last we saw, Meteora blew up the whole school after finding out about her true background and we never saw what became of ‘em. Hopefully, they’re fine like Pony Head is and that our minds shouldn’t go into a dark place thinking about that. Speaking of darkness, monster arm, he looked to be hinted at coming back after his defeat, but instead he was just left as a scare gag and irrelevance to the plot. Lastly, the same goes for that mysterious sun/moon/star room in St.Olga’s. It looked to be a big plot point to bring up in a later episode, but alas, we got nothing out of it! We suspected it had something to do with The Blood Moon, but even that was all for nothing! Never did we find out what that room was supposed to mean and I guess it was never meant to have been pointed out in-universe cuz that was for us fans to see it as an up and coming big Starco moment like how the Blood Moon was never magic and that it was just a gimmick with the whole “soul binding” thing to spice up it’s appeal. The finale was good. Could’ve done it as an hour long special or tv movie to close it off, but since Daron and the staff kept goin’ through so many changes in episode plots (and believe me, I’ve seen plenty of “what-could’ve-been” plots like the original idea for the show with Star younger and non-magical annoying everyone around her with her big imagination of her being a magical girl princess), I kinda think maybe they rushed into it, but even so, it was a nice finale and it left a good memory for me. I found some nice people through this fandom and just to name a few there was that ever popular head cannon blog, @svtfoeheadcanons which than went onto @seddm. Thank you for your words and blog and answering some of my questions (even though it was kinda anon, but I think you might’ve recognized me from my writings) you are brilliant, @moringmark, your comics of the Starco/Jarco child clashing story were fun as well as your Starco Child Headquarters comic and I am now enjoying your “F.R.I.E.N.D.S” parody of the Past Queens of Mewni and also the Meteora and Mariposa comic, thank you for your comics, I always check on and comment on ‘em and last, but certainly not least, my good svtfoe friend, @agentpfangirl1997. Hey girl! I love how I found her and we chatted about what we thought about the show and checking each others reviews and fan arts of it. Her drawings are awesome! Glad I got to know such a great person. Even with the show, we still keep it alive through our love for it and will treasure it for years to come. Thank you, Daron Nefcy! @daronnefcy
