#river city girls cosplay

[zeldamomoe]

Happy 4th anniversary to River City Girls! I still haven't played the sequel 🙈 But I always share my Kyoko cosplay on occasions like this 💗 I mean who else *dabs* for their special move in battle 🤣

[miilliacosplay]

"WHAT'D He say about my RIKI-POO?"

Kyoko is probably my most comfortable cosplay, it's simple, fun and has a lot of my personality (but most of the time I'm more Misako), anyway... PLAY RIVER CITY GIRLS! It's fantastic, I promise 😉

Let's fight!! (੭ˋ꒳​ˊ)੭ River City Girls' Kyoko cosplay for katt (FA)

[clonerightsagenda]

Arcane S2E4

Curious as to how Jinx has become a darling of the underground when she worked for the oppressive drug lord for years. They're that taken with her nuking the city council I guess? Even though she has no ideals and did not do it for them. The fact that topside hates her is enough. Still do you think anyone's like. not to harsh everyone's cosplay buzz but that teenager blew up my family member.

Caitlin's hooking up with the other cop? She looks like 15.

Your jailbait gf has a point

Also what are the HR implications of this

Jinx: It's hard being a single mother when you're a teenager with no children

Actually not that hard, it seems to have made her weirdly calm and domestic

This kills the crab goat

"How could I not secure the scientists?" Well maybe instead of starting a fucking war you could've just offered them grant funding. Scientists love grant funding

They've got checkpoints now…

Lmao AMBESSA is bringing up the HR implications

Councilor guy experiences ableism… will he learn anything from this. Probably not.

I thought Sevika came around on Jinx way too quickly but I see… she's genuinely consistently focused on Zaunite liberation and gritting her teeth going 'every day I coalition build with the most annoying fucks in the undercity'. Babe maybe you should try being the charismatic leader yourself instead of tying yourself to multiple sinking ships

When she was talking to the chair I really was hoping she'd gone the full Jade Harley and was arguing with Silco's stuffed corpse. Guess she dumped him in the river though

Nooooo Ekko is still missing?

Could people PLEASE stop destroying Sevika's arm. What is this Fullmetal Alchemist

Sevika does all the goddamn work around here and this white girl with a clown aesthetic gets all the congratulations. Ok I think Ekko's number 2 at least respects what she's working with

Isha is not making it through this season is she

everyone in this science fantasy universe a la the conveyer belt meme: guess we're doing werewolves now

Are those dead enforcers or did Warwick kill all the prisoners Jinx and Sevika just freed?

Trying to avert my eyes from Jinx's sideboob bc she looks barely pubescent

Mini Fanfic #1237: Dress Up Delinquents (SSBU X River City Girls)

5:06 p.m. at Smash Mall Direct: The Party Costume Store.......

Dark Pit: (Sighs as He Walks in the Store Along with his Girlfriends) Do we really have to participate in the Costume Contest this year? I doubt I'll look good in any of the ones they have in here to be honest.

Misako: (Happily Wraps her Arm Around Pitto's Shoulders) Ah give 'em a chance, babe. There's bound to be at least a couple of outfits that could suit your fancy.

Kyoko: (Happily Nodded in Agreement) Yep-Yep. Annnd if we managed to get 1st place, we could get access to any flavor of ice cream and frozen yogurt for a whole year, at Sherbert Laaaaand!~

Misako: Wait, that place sales frozen yogurts now? Since when?

Kyoko: Since a week or two ago. Mommy and I had free samples the other day. (Grabs her Chin While Thinking) I think we had the strawberry-raspberry conjunction? (Starts Smiling Very Fondly) It was super yummyyy~ (Got Up on her Girlfriend and Boyfriend's Faces in a Now Very Determined Manner) I NEED have to full, free experience on a daily!!

Dark Pit: (Gently Grabs onto Kyoko's Shoulder) Easy there, Firecracker. You already had me at free yogurt. I'm in.

Kyoko: (Happily Squeals Before Giving Pitto and Then Misako Their Respective Kiss on the Lips) That's the spirit!~ (Points Forward to the Three Dressing Rooms Ahead) Now, let's go and get this costume party start!~ (Happily Sprints Forward)

Dark Pit: (Watches Kyoko Check Out Every Costume Present in the Store Along with Misako) That girl's way too into this....

Misako: (Simply Shrugs) She did say she wanted to do cosplay one of these days, so she might as well start off somewhere at least. (Turns to Pitto) Also, Firecracker?

Dark Pit: I've been been thinking about what kind of nicknames I wanna give to you girls and that's the one that came to mind.

Misako: Hmm not bad. (Smirks Teasingly at her Dark Angel) It's not nearly as cute as "Pitto-Kins" though.

Dark Pit: Probably. (Smirks Back at Misako) Hell, I say "Miski" a far more cuter than both of them combined.

Misako: (Snickers Before Playfully Smacking Pitto's Arm) Yeah right!~ Let's go.

Misako continues her walk as Dark Pit chuckles and follows behind her.

Costume Tryouts #1

Dark Pit: (Steps Out of his Dressing Room, Nodding to Himself Dressed as Sol Badguy) Alright. Might have to dye my hair brown, but other than that, I cam dig this look for the night. But...wait. (Crosses his Arms While Thinking) Was Sol always a bad guy or.....

Misako: Nah.

DP turns to see Misako walking out of her dressing room dressed as the rocking sensational, I-NO.

Misako: The name just makes him sound more cooler than he already is.

Dark Pit: (Forms an Impressed Smirk on his Face) Well don't you look even more prettier in red~ Are you a witch of rock n' roll or something.

Misako: Yeah, something like that. (Looking Down at a Fake Guitar Prop She's Holding) Doubt I'll be any good with a guitar as she is though.

Dark Pit: Ever thought about taking some lessons?

Misako: Yeah, but knowing me, I'd probably get bored of it and dropout within a week or so.

Dark Pit: You should give a try someday. It'll might benefit you in the long run.

Misako: (Casually Shrugs) Mm. I'll think about it. (Forms a Bit of a Flirty Smirk) If you give me a kiss~

Dark Pit: ('Sigh') I swear, you two always wanting kisses these days.

Misako: Oh hush up. You know you like 'em as much as we do.

Dark Pit: (Shrugs) Guilty as charged. Now come here.

Both Pitto and Misako lean over for a kiss, until-

????: Look alive, my lovelies!!~

The duo turns to see their girlfriend, Kyoko, walking out of her dressing room dressed as Sol's lover Jack-O.

Kyoko: (Happily Presents Herself) Cause the Spooktacular Jack-O Valentine I here!!~

Misako: ('Whistles') Looking good already, babe!~

Dark Pit: (Nodded in Agreement) You look more prettier in that suit than Jack-O herself.

Kyoko: (Giggles Softly While Blushing) D'awwww~ You guys are sweet~ It's always been my dream to dress up as my main and since we're on the topic of Jack-O herself, look what I can do~

Kyoko does a wide stance before slowly lowering herself on the ground while keeping the lower half of her body standing up on her feet.

Dark Pit: (Eyes Widened in Genuine Surprise) Holy.....

Misako: (Chuckles as She Forms a Huge Grin on her Face) Shi-hehe-it!~ You can do the Jack-O Pose now?

Kyoko: (Proudly Nodded) Yes ma'am~ I've always take the time to do my daily stretches before starting the day off. (Starts Giddying Up with Even More Joy) I'm so happy it's finally paying off-

'RIIIIIP'

The bright smile on Kyoko's slowly falters into timid, dreadful looking as the sound of a fabric ripping has started to ring straight into her eardrums.

Kyoko: W-Was that a piece of a paper torn off just now?

Dark Pit: (Quickly Covers his Eyes From the....Slight Exposure Staring Front of Him and Misako's View Point) Kyoko, we don't have any paper in our hands to tear apart.

Misako: (Points at the Now Ripped Pants in Front of Her and Pitto) Pretty sure that sound came from the pants you just ripped-

Kyoko: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! (Quickly Lowers her Other Half of her Body Down Before Getting Herself Back Up on her Feet as Her Eyes Begins Sparkle in Guilt and Sadness as She Sees the Ripped Part of the Pants) These pants plays a crucial part to Jack-O's stylish design and I just....RIPPED THEM!!

Misako: Oh will you relax? Those pants might not even cost that much to begin wi- (Eyes Suddenly Begins to Widened at the Price Tag of the Pants) NINTY FOUR DOLLARS!? For some fucking pants!? Seriously!?

Kyoko: (Bawls her Eyes Out as She Kneels Herself Down on the Ground) I RUINED EVERYTHIIING!

Dark Pit: (Sighs as He Turns Back to Kyoko) Will you calm down already, Kyoko? You didn't ruin shit.

Kyoko: But....('Sniff') T-T-The pants-

Dark Pit: I'll pay for them and have Momma Peach sew them up good as new, once we had back to the mansion, alright?

Kyoko: (Wipes her Tears Away as Her Eyes Starts Sparkling Again) You would really do that....('Sniff') For me?

Dark Pit: ('Scoffs') Obviously. I'm not gonna let you take the fall for this alone and I don't wanna see you blame yourself all day, for something that wasn't in your control either! (Turns Away While Frowns a Bit) Hate seeing you girls sad and shi- OOF! (Suddenly Felt Kyoko Hug Tackle Him)

Kyoko: I promise I'll make it up to you one of these days, 100%!~ (Gives Pitto a Watery, Loving Smile) I love you so so much, Pitto-Kins!~

Dark Pit: (Sighs While Rolling his Eyes a Bit) Yeah, yeah, love you too. (Gives Kyoko a Kiss on the Forehead Before Turning Away Again) But uh....('Clears Throat') You might wanna cover yourself up from behind.

Kyoko: From behi- (Eyes Starts to Widened Again as She Quickly Uses his Hands Covers Up her Now, Slightly Exposed Rear) Eeeeek! This is so embarrassing........

Misako: Kyoko, here! (Takes Off her Coattail and Gives It to Kyoko) This should cover it up perfectly.

Kyoko: (Quickly Wraps the Coattail Around Her Waist) You are such a lifesaver, Miski, thank you!~

Misako: Yeah, don't mention it. Now go on and change already.

Kyoko: (Simply Nodded to Misako's Command) Right. BRBBBBBB!~ (Quickly Makes Her Way Back to her Dressing Room)

Dark Pit: ('Sighs Heavily') You weren't kidding when you said that girl gonna be the death of us one of these day.....

Misako: Well, duh, I'm always right. Still, that girl's way too cute and lovable to for me to get annoyed with forever, you know?

Dark Pit: You and me both.

Costume Tryouts #2

Kyoko: Oooh!~ (Walks Out of her Dressing Room, Wearing a Long Sleeved, Black and White Dress) I'm loving how this feels dress already~ (Pushes the Back of her Hair a Little Before Striking a Pose) Make me feel like a runway model.

Misako: Eh. (Walks Out of her Dressing Room, Wearing a Long Sleeved, Black and Red Dress) Never been a fan of these long dresses. Like a wearing a heavy blanket around me all day.

Kyoko: At least it looks you as gorgeous as I do. (Grabs her Chin While Thinking) Though, I wonder, do you think I would look decent in blonde hair or nah?

Misako: Please, you'd look better in blonde than I would in red. Hell, I think DP would be a better redhead than I ever will. Speaking of which..... (Calls Out for Her and Kyoko's Boyfriend) Babe! You almost finished in there?

Dark Pit: Yeah! Just....(Struggling to Walk Out of his Dressing Room Normally While Wearing a Black and White, Long Sleeved Dressed Shirt and Red Pants) Need to.....Come...Out here.....and- woah! (Suddenly Trips and Fell Down on the Ground)

'Thud'

Misako/Kyoko: Pitto! (Quickly Rushes Over to Their Dark Angel's Side to Help Him Get Back Up)

Kyoko: Are you okay, honey?

Dark Pit: ('Sighs in a Bit of Annoyance') Yeah. It's just this dumb belt thing keeping me from walking normally. How the hell was that Iori What's His Face able to fight and move around with that attached to both of his pants legs without falling?

Misako: (Shrugs) I dunno, years of practice? He is a bad boy at heart after all.

Kyoko: Mixed with a hint of angst, purple flames, and a cruel, sadistic side on and off the battlefield.

Misako: Ironic considering he hates violence for some reason.

Dark Pit: (Rolls his Eyes a Bit) Sounds like another asshole to me. His fashion sense ain't shit anyways, I'm changing.

Elsewhere.......

The Three Sacred Treasures Trio were watching a movie together in Chizuru's apartment. They fell asleep at her sofa together as the movie itself was still going on until Iori suddenly shot up from his seat, awake and somewhat pissed.

Chizuru: (Yawns While Slightly Waking up Herself Along with Kyo) Iori.....what's wrong? What got you awake?

Iori: ('Sigh') Nothing. Could've sworn I've felt a disturbance of some kind.

Kyo: (Raises an Eyebrow) Disturbance?

Chizuru: (Starts Getting Worried) Of Orochi?

Iori: No. Of someone insulting my way of life and my fashion sense.

Chizuru: ('Sighs in a Bit of Relief')

Kyo: (Starts Snickering) Seriously? Since when did the Ever-So Menacing Yagami ever cared so much about his image?~

Iori: (Rolls his Eyes in Annoyance) Don't even start with me tonight, Kyo. I'd worry more about going back to high school if I were you.

Kyo: ('Tch') Please. Why would I need any academic education, when I have all I need right here. (Points at the Side of his Forehead with a Cocky Smirk on his Face)

Iori: Your idiotic brain?

Kyo: (Comically Glares at his Rival/Boyfriend) My Street Smarts, Smart-ass! I still have some intelligence in me.

Iori: (Casually Shrugs) Could've fooled me. The most I've seen you do make an even bigger fool of yourself than you already are, on a daily.

Kyo: Careful, Yagami. (Ignites his Flames on the Palm of His Hand) You're a few inches close to my burning range.

Iori: ('Heh') You can try if you might. (Ignites his Purple Flames On the Palm of his Hand) It result to your brain getting fried to tiny ashes.

Kyo: Try it, bitch-

Chizuru: Enough, both of you! It has been a long enough day already. Can we PLEASE go back to our nap?

Iori: (Sighs Balls his Hand up into a Fist, Causing his Flames to Get Extinguished Insantly) Very well.

Kyo: Yeah, you better put those flames away you, assho-

Chizuru: (Gives her Hot-headed Boyfriend Dark, Motherly Glare) Kyo.

Kyo: ('Sighs in Defeat') Fiiiine. (Balls His Hand Up into a Fist as his Flames Extinguished as Well) I'll quit I'm ahead. Happy?

Chizuru: (Simply Nodded) Very. Thank you. (Turns to Iori with a Reassuring Smile on her Face) Don't let any those insecurities get into your head, Iori. You'll always be amazing in our eyes.

Iori: (Raises an Eyebrow) Our?

Chizuru: (Sighs While Rolling her Eyes a Bit) Yes "our". Kyo thinks very highly of you, even when he's too stubborn to admit it.

Iori: (Turns to See Kyo Already Fast Asleep on his Side of the Sofa, Before Sighing) I see. (Sits Back Down on the Middle Side of the Sofa) Thanks, I guess.

Chizuru: (Gives Iori a Kiss on the Cheek) You're welcome, my love~

Back to the Smash Universe

Costume Tryouts #3

Kyoko: Say yours prayers, evil doers! For is it, I- (Jumps Out of her Dressing Room, Now Dressed as a Light Blue Colored Sailor Moon Uniform) Sailor Kyoko, here to save the day once more!~

Misako: (Jumps Out of her Dressing Room, Wearing a Red Color Sailor Moon Uniform and Pose Alongside her Girlfriend) Sailor Misako's here to kick all of your sorry asses along with her annnnnd.......

Misako and Kyoko turns over to Pitto's dressing room, awaiting for his arrival.

Misako/Kyoko: .............Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd........

Dark Pit: (In his Dressing Room) I'm not coming out.

Kyoko: (Eyes Widened in Genuine Shock) What?

Misako: ('Ugh') Come on, dude, there's no reason for you to be shy.

Dark Pit: (Sticks his Head Out of the Door) There's plenty of reasons! Why can't I be the Tuxedo Mask guy instead?

Misako: Cause we couldn't find his any sets of his whole attire anywhere.

Dark Pit: Not even suit and cape?

Misako: (Shakes her Head) Not even.

Kyoko: There's no need to be embarrassed at all, Pitto-Kins. No when we're around.

Misako: Yeah, we've always had your back ever since we first met. You know that, right?

Dark Pit: ('Sigh') Yeah.......

Misako: Then trust us to look out for you and come out already.

Kyoko: (Puts on the Sad Puppy Dog Look) Pleeeeeeeeeeeease?~

Misako: (Shows Pitto Kyoko's Puppy Dog Look) How you gonna say "no" to this face right here, DP? (Forms a Puppy Dog Look on her Own) Or mines?~

Dark Pit: (Stares at his Girlfriends' Eyes For a Brief Second Before Groaning in Defeat) Alright, fine. Just give me a few seconds.

Misako: We'll give you five.....four.....

Kyoko: Three.....Two.......

Before either girls could say the number one, Pitto jumps out of his dressing room, in a majestic, graceful like fashion, all while wearing a dark purple colored sailor moon outfit.

Dark Pit: It is I, Sailor Pitto, here to love and support my girlfriends' needs and kicking ass while doing it!! (Does a the Iconic Sailor Moon Pose)

Kyoko: ('GASSSSPS') (Clasps her Hands Together With Happiness and Sparkle in her Eyes) Oh my gosh, Pitto, that was so breathtaking!~

Misako: (Smirks Proudly at her Boyfriend) I didn't know you know a thing or two about Sailor Moon pose~

Dark Pit: (Rolls his Eyes a Bit) You can think Zelda and the rest of the girls back home, for that. They wouldn't stop pestering me to watch Sailor Moon Marathon with them one night and I just so happen to memorized a few of these poses no problem.

????: Haha Ha!

Pitto turns to see three jocks laughing at him in the distance..

Jock #1: Nice pose there, angel boi!

Jock #2: Yeah, where did you learn 'em from? Your moms!? (Continues Laughing Along with his Friends)

Both Misako and Kyoko instantly growls heavily at the jocks with pure anger and fire in both of their eyes. Their glares were so vicious that it was more than enough to shut the trio up completely and send them running out the store in fear.

Dark Pit: (Turns to Both his Girlfriends) Thanks for that.

Misako: (Smiles Softly) No prob. Told ya we got your back.

Kyoko: (Smiles Brightly) Always~

Both girls then procceds to give Pitto a kiss on both of his cheeks.

'Buzzzzzzz'

Misako: Hm? (Takes her Backpack Off her Back, Opens it Up, and Looks for her Phone From the Inside)

Kyoko: Someone texted you?

Misako: Yeah. (Looks Through the Message Sent to her One her Phone) It's from Sonic- ('Gasps') No way!

Dark Pit: What is it?

Misako: Guys, you might wanna see this.

Misako shows her girlfriend and boyfriend a couple of pictures Sonic sent her, of him and his friends dressed as the Justice League Heroes. Sonic's the Flash, Knuckles' Superman, Amy's Wonder Woman, Tails' Cyborg, Hat Kid's Robin, Rouge's Catwoman, and Shadow is Batman.

Kyoko: (Struck in Genuine Awe) Wooooooah......

Dark Pit: ('Sigh') Yeeup. We're definitely losing the contest this year.

Misako: (Gives Pitto a Determined Look on her Face) The hell we are! If they can make up a group costume, so cam we. (Grabs her Chin While Thinking) We just need to find a few more members to our crew......

Dark Pit: I have no doubt that Zelda would want in on this, Mewtwo would tag along with her- (Forms an Evil Smirk on his Face) And I can definitely blackmail Yoshi into joining us too.

Kyoko: How about you let Miski and I convince him with our Puppy Dog Eyes~ (Puts on Her Signature Puppy Dog Eyes Again)

Dark Pit: ('Heh') With a face cute as yours, I doubt he'll say no-

'ROAR

Dark Pit: (Taken Aback by the Roaring Sound of a Grizzly Bear) The fuck?

Misako: (Turns to the Source of the Noise) Was that a bear just- nooooooooooow? (Eyes Slowly Starts To Widened Along with the Others, at Who They're Watching Walking By with an Actual Bear Next to Him)

?????????: Oh will you quit your worrying already, Kuma? I'll have you know that my hairstyle has helped picled up many beautiful women in my times.

Kuma: (Growls While Rolling his Eyes)

????????: Oh, you don't believe me? Wait till we get home. I'll be more than happy to show you every single women I've been with, besides my lovely wife, of course.

Dark Pit: .................................Was that fucking HEIHACHI!?

danbi dog walking w/ tae sort of meet cute-type date vibes

🪩 WORDCOUNT | 700 (exactly!) 🪩 NOTE FROM HOLLY | so i kinda think they're impossible to have a meet-cute, just because danbi was sooooo anti-tae at the start. like she always knew he was interested and used to try soooo hard to pretend that she wasnt!!! plus if anyone is a man hater (complimentary <3) it's danbi!! I can't remember when, but i know it's mentioned earlier on in the story that tae had been at memorial park with dan so.... here u go!

🪩 BD DRABBLES MASTERPOST 🪩

“Again?” Danbi sighs as she notices the man walking towards her up through the path of the Memorial Park.

She’d put her hands on her hips if either of them were free - but she’s currently got three dogs to each hand. The leads wrap around so tightly it’s a miracle her fingers haven’t fallen off yet.

Still, her facial expression conveys everything her body can’t - and yet Kim Taehyung has the audacity to stand there fucking smiling. 

“Fancy seeing you here!” He beams, turning on his heel to stop himself from walking on by. Doesn't miss a beat. Heads in the same direction as Danbi, now.

“Y’know, some people would consider this stalking,” she tells him with nothing but disdain. 

“See, I would agree,” Taehyung answers with contemplative arrogance. “But it’s funny - DB seems to reckon you’ve changed your route, recently?”

“Oh has she, now?” Danbi says, resisting the urge to curse you out. Loves you to death, but knows exactly what you’re doing. Begins to think that your joke about dressing up as cupid for Halloween isn’t really a joke.

“Mhmm,” Taehyung nods, hands in pockets. A little shy, but trying desperately hard not to be. “You used to do your walks down by the river, apparently.”

Danbi’s jaw is tense. Unwavering. “Sometimes a change of scenery is good. Gives the pups more mental stimulation. Different smells.”

“There are so many parks in the city,” he muses.

“Well I’ll pick a different one, once I’ve decided they’ve had enough of this one.”

“Maybe you should try the city forest,” Taehyung suggests. “The one by the last stop on line two. I go there pretty often, too.��

The narrowing of Danbi’s eyes only serves to make Taehyung smile. He’s learning pretty quickly which buttons of Danbi’s to press - and given how easy it is to wind her up, he doesn’t have to try particularly hard. 

It’s what he likes about her, though. She’s fiery. Ignites a little something inside him.

“My route choices have nothing to do with you.”

“No?” He challenges. “So why’d it change after you found out my studio overlooks Memorial Park?”

“Coincidence.”

“Y’know,” Taehyung smirks. “Some people would consider it stalking.”

If there’s one thing Danbi hates, it’s when men make her smile - and Taehyung is getting dangerously close to that. She has to nip this in the bud, or otherwise her mild-infatuation with him will inevitably grow, and she cannot let that happen.

She’s dated musicians. Dated pretty boys. Ones with egos. Knows that artists are even worse.

And the ones who look like Kim Taehyung? Nothing but trouble. She knows that as soon as her guard is down, some girl from his art school will end up back in his DM’s and then she’ll have to fight for his attention, which she refuses to do. Dreads to think of the notches in his bedpost. Doesn’t wanna have to look at the art he’s made from other muses.

Again, she’s dated men who are menaces before. Had songs written for other girls cosplayed as serenades for her (fuck you, Sanghyuk). Refuses to let it happen again.

Better to just fight with him. Easier that way.

She’s incapable of doing anything by half measures though, so hatred seems like the best course of action.

“With all due respect, Taehyung, I’m working,” she shrugs, picking up her pace.

“Let me help.”

“No.”

“I'm good with animals.”

“You’re not insured.”

“I know how to walk a dog”

“No.”

“Let me-”

“Fine! Take Mabel,” Danbi finally relents, adjusting the leashes to hold one out from him. On the end is a Pomeranian, not too dissimilar from Taehyung’s own dog - the same dog Taehyung keeps trying to convince Danbi to walk, just so he has an excuse to see her. “She bites.”

“It’s fine,” Taehyung says, taking the leash in his palm and wrapping it over slightly for a little extra security. Starts walking. Is cheeky, as he says, “I’m used to bitches who bite.”

“You did not just call me a bitch,” Danbi gasps, genuinely affronted. It’s the first time throughout this entire interaction that Taehyung thinks he’s getting genuine emotion from her. Knows the rest of it is bull.

“Well, are you planning on biting me?” He flirts. Wouldn’t be opposed. In fact, he’d quite like it.

“Shut up,” she whines with a deadly roll of her eyes. “Just walk the damn dog."

River city girls cosplay

[orleans-jester]

“Hell Maketh the Man,” Pierre said, always letting Seven stroke his ego, fill it up higher. It was probably the only reason why he was sane in any sense after being down in the Netherworld. This guy right here, this touch of familiarity, this touch of home, this touch of love.

“Back, back,” Pierre affirmed as they made their way towards the doors, hardly anyone looking at their backs as they left the great hall. “Like living, breathing, witches again, Seven, free and wild.”

He could imagine it now. His own body. Feeling the sunshine on his skin again. Going to Paris, shopping with Piper, sunbathing at Deauville Beach with the boys - Zero always looked like he needed a tan. Of course, he assumed that somehow, he would be rich again. Life without money was just such an out-there concept that he could not imagine it. Even if Piper were his sugar-mommy, he could live with that.

Just to feel the damn sun again. That’s something that his mind kept going back to. It was hot in hell, definitely. The humidity fucked with his hair. Made it all poofy. Almost made him look like Bastien. But it didn’t have the same sort of heat as the sun. It wasn’t warm, and welcoming, and nurturing and playful. It was … just fucking fire.

He was out there in the night air again, looking at the streetlights and the city that was half familiar. Looks like some things have changed around here, but he wasn’t bothered by that. He was a little curious about his house, wondering what had happened to it. Last he had heard was from Seven, when it had been taken over by the homeless and most of his stuff was trashed. If he stuck around in Feral, maybe he’d be able to reclaim it. He liked that elevator thingamajig. That had been fun.

He was bouncing on his feet like a damn school girl, the three of them still close together, huddled, as they made their way down the mountain. “As much as I do love the leather-daddy look in Hell, my body is craving some linen, big time,” He agreed with Seven, thinking about decking the three of them out in diamonds once he got rich again.

Oh yeah, the school had closed down. It felt like it’s been AGES since Pierre had to think about school. The last time was when he was basically doing a bad cosplay as a jock, had quit the Football team, and became the school loser. If he had been in his own skin during that time, Pierre wouldn’t have been able to handle the humiliation. But since it had been Ronno … it was kinda funny.

“Halloweentown was the shit,” Pierre agreed. He’d been there for a short time when the school closed and a lot of them had to transfer over to Halloweentown temporarily. “But the Magisterium was pretty sick too. Hey, remember that orgy we all had right outside? Now that was beautiful.”

Memories at the Magisterium flooded back as they got closer to the Forbidden Forest, and the demolished building, all of it cleaned away by now. Turned into something else. Hanging out with Seven. With Piper. Giving her a piggyback the first day that they met. School dances, Zero. The Valentines Day dance and making out with River Laveau. Now, who would have thought it would have been that duo that had the shortest lives?

“You should,” Pierre said. “Open it up. Shit, if I get my money back, I’ll invest in that, dude.” He said this all sincerely, imagining it with Seven. He’d gotten a lot more comfortable with the idea of being around the dead - even if he was still a bit skittish about some things. You don’t get too used to things in Hell, that’s why it’s Hell.

He was still thinking about those things when he took note of their surroundings, of the voices. “Dude, it’s your moms,” He said, nudging Seven, having no idea that they were going to be there either. Seven, the one who had enough moms for the three of them. He nearly chuckled as that thought came into his mind. He wasn’t nearly as worried as Seven seemed to be, rubbing his hand on his shoulder. “Come on, we’ll all give them a little love if it makes you feel less embarrassed,” He raised his eyebrows. “We’ll do a big group hug.”

Because if Seven knew Pierre, a bit of flirting with his moms was not totally out of the question.

That confident grin stayed as he walked down to Piper, his boys in tow. He gave a friendly nod to Seven’s mothers, and of course he was looking over Piper again - she seemed to glow in the moonlight - and then there was the tree. By instinct, he started to hum the song that he had written for her, played for her down by this tree an age ago. Though some of it had been cut away for Oogie’s tables, many of the limbs still remained, stretching up and strong towards the sky despite the ever-burning fire within.

He was right up against Piper’s side, gently kissing the side of her head. “You know us, fashionably late,” He hummed into her raven-colored hair.

Kuzco shook his head at all the ghost content going on at this ball. He wasn't sure he was a fan. He was a biased fan of course. TSG. Theme Song Guy band members. Kuzco two thumbs up. Anyone else that seemed irrelevant to him? Well, they were irrelevant weren't they? It wasn't like all the ghosts didn't matter, but he was very picky and choosy, also quite non-remembery. He always did say it was best to make a lasting impression.

"Ah." Kuzco didn't get a reminder from Clopin so he filed it under the didn't care file which was quite large in his brain. It often lost pages over time due need of saving space for more important things like how many times he could relive Clopin drawing a dick on Sassy's back when he first looked down and saw them both from his building in the center of Nola. Classic. "Moving on then because your outfit wins Halloween."

"Of course she can tell. I mean check you out. Maturity is practically your middle name now." Seven ego stroked some more. He always had the tendency to do so.

Not even Doc Vic? Zero straightened his back and shook his head. It suddenly felt like serious business to him. He crossed his heart with his finger before letting Pierre go on.

Then the lick of his cheek made him laugh again and he shook his shoulders out and relaxed a little more as Pierre talked.

"You know I'm a iron trap. Go on." Seven assured.

Cheek to cheek secretive. He heard bringing us back? Need to head there now? It felt imperitive to move so his feet began to walk as all three of them walked in this buddy-buddy threesome forward. For the first few steps he processed. For the next few he'd say, "Back-back? As in back?"

But Zero being a dog of dead realm hopping capability and despite never having visited Pierre not wanting to go to the depths of Hell to seek him out, not after all the searching he'd done in the nethers trying to find Lucifer the Tremaine. He decided long ago it was high time to stop that search. Okay, actually Flotsam put a stop to it, but still, once time went on the concept of abandonment continued to flourish in Zero's life, his bio dad, bio fam, Tremaine's, Jack Skeleton, and even Cinderella who seemed so proud of him for searching for Lucifer just up and left too. No. He couldn't search for Pierre after what he'd been through considering his history. Cinderella seemed to ruin things for everyone even people she wasn't related to. Otherwise the story might have been different. But, when Pierre said back Zero had no questions. He answered Seven's question. "Yes, he means back-back."

Zero knew there were very serious quid pro quo for bringing back the dead or even the living going to the place of the dead. Hopscotch was still his safety word even those here had never witnessed him use it. Now Zero was a little nervous not knowing what sort of magic was about to go down. His mind was going through so many scenarios he'd witnessed go not according plan. He was readying his mind to be guard dog here as the only one who could freely move between worlds.

Little did Zero know that wasn't Piper's plan at all. She wasn't going through the netherworld of any kind to bring him back.

Speaking of the Wizard of Oz these three looked like a group headed down a yellow brick road on a mission with the way they all left at the same time all too happy.

Of course Bastien noticed he was gone and that made him all too happy too. Though he thought it was because the ghosts were starting to disappear as it got later. He didn't actually see them leave out. He noticed a lot of the Merry Men watching the clock.

Seven was ecstatic. He was trying so hard to hold it in until they left the castle and were out in the free world. "Oh my man, I don't know what you just pulled off, but if you pull this off, I will kiss Piper's heels and your shoes damn it. Then we're going out shopping. Stores. Oh my hot damn. Imagine stores again." Seven did love to accessorize.

The tree.

That brought back memories. It wasn't as symbolic to Seven as it was to Pierre, but all three of them knew the spot. "I kinda loved how chaotic that school was." He admitted though he absolutely thrived in Halloween Town and had no problems there either. He seemed to manage anywhere he went. "Halloween Town was better but there was still something charming about how it tried to be normal when it obviously wasn't ever meant to be." The thought made him laugh. Memories were fun. Just thinking of going back to life was bringing it all back. "I'd open up my own Mortuary." Plans were already in his head. Hope building before they arrived.

At the Tree

Piper was already there. She left out as soon she ended Pierre's dance. There were three witches there waiting for her. Seven would know them well. None of them would be expecting him except for one who had been keeping it a secret from the others. She was the witch who was wearing the eye.

The Fates. Seven's mothers. All three stood there, one-eyed as always, a part of their sacrifice. But, it was Atropos that wore the magic eye. The Fate of the Future. She saw him coming. She was grinning like Cheshire. It drove the other two nuts when she did that. Lechesis and Clotho were groaning. Clotho finally said, "You might as well hand it over. You don't need that eye tonight. Stop grinning like that. If you're not going to tell, just put some duct tape over it already."

Lechesis chimed in too, "Yeah, I'm the one who needs it tonight. Pass it over. Just give it to me already."

Piper just watched amused at their antics thinking it must have been fun to grow up with the three of them.

So, before Pierre's crew made it all the way there Seven heard his mothers' voices in the distance and his feet stopped. He looked over at Pierre. For as long as they'd known one another surely he knew those voices too. It was an unexpected event for Seven to see them. It would be the first time since finding out who his father was on the other side. It had been kept from him his whole life and yet once he found out it felt so obvious. Pierre asking for Seven to come too became an emotional pause for him unready for that confrontation.

He put his arms out stopping the others from walking and he stood there just staring at their images from a safe distance.

"Okay hold on. Give me a second. My mums are down there. I'll be fine, just need a moment."

His mind started racing. This was where he knew more than Zero. He had to quickly try to process his own emotional baggage all while reality was dawning on him what Piper was up to if his mothers were involved. It was very rare they made exceptions like this. It took a huge payment usually and even then whatever was offered his mothers were rarely convinced. Part of that fact frightened him. What had Piper done for them? It wasn't the part of being alive again that worried him. He also knew what tampering with this in this manner might possibly affect. Chain reactions of all sorts. So if his parents were convinced for Pierre there must be something to it, right? That's how he tried to process it. His parents knew best. Yes. This wasn't just some Piper-cockamamy scheme. His parents always knew best.

"Okay. Okay. I'm fine. I mean it's just my mums. I'm fine. Everything's good. They're going to get all gushy. Ya know?"

Zero watched Seven process and let it go at that. "Don't worry. We won't make fun of you much if they kissy face all over you. They miss you too."

Seven rolled his eyes and laughed. "Thanks Zero."

Piper must have heard them chatting because she called out, "There they are! Come on guys."

"Down here." She kept waving them in as if Pierre might have lost his way to the special tree. There was a smile on her face so affectionate too once she'd come into view. She felt like she'd been working for this day for so long. Her fingers would tap for security the little hourglasses she had strapped to her belt she always wore even with her dress under her cloak. That constant pang of Pierre was ever there at her side, just like River's. River found his own way back. Pierre kept waiting. She'd wait every Day of the Dead or thin veil time in hopes of his appearance. Year after year she intended. But, here he was.

more desu2 as rcg except daichi is kyoko this time : )

[mantis-lizbian]

i was hanging out at a friend's house and went to the bathroom, and i saw my reflection in the mirror and i was like... "why does this look familiar...?"

[uzumaki-rebellion]

There were a ton of wypepo complaining about this with the oldie but goodie, "Writers can write what they want because its using the imagination," totally ignoring the real issue which is writing anti-Black content. They brought up mermaids, dragons (as they always do) and willfully overlooked what Black people are saying. Even ole girl's titles are saying a lot with connotations of unworthiness with a Black character, "Nobody's..." etc. This book was indie published and my guess is she didn't hire an astute editor to point out the issues. If she did, that editor needs to be out of the business.

As a writer myself, I write all kinds of characters, and yes I believe that writers can write whatever they want. HOWEVER, there is a big difference in writing Black characters and writing Black characters where bias, anti-Blackness, ignorance, and stereotyping take up space in your made up world. So expect pushback and to be dog walked up and down MLK boulevard in any city USA when you get it wrong.

As writers, we have to sit our asses down sometimes and think over a few things first if you are writing about people you are not from. Why do you want to write them? Are you taking up space because you want to make coin when the overwhelmingly white publishing world thinks diversity is in? Are you the right person to write the story with nuance and doing research using sensitivity readers? Do you have implicit biases and prejudice against certain marginlized groups that you harbor and need to sit with first before you spill it out in your content like ole girl did? If you use a sensitivity reader, employ more than one because anti-Blackness permeates Black people too. We are not a monolith throughout the diasporia. And don't think any old Black person will do. Black Americans have a very different view of things regarding race/politics/culture than someone from the African continent or the islands, or in South America/Canada/UK. Blackness is not a flat one size fits all deal.

And maybe...just maybe...as TLC once sang, "don't go chasin' waterfalls, please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to" if you can't handle being called out/in to do better as a writer. If you can't deal with pushback, leave Black things alone. Sidenote: riding Black dick, having mixed Black children, knowing one Black friend/co-worker, getting your hair cornrowed in Jamaica that one time doesn't count as expertise.

For readers, stop supporting problematic content that only enriches and elevates white writers over Black ones. Keep some of these convos in the groupchat so that culture vultures (like LT and her Berkley lucrative deal for a fucking Black History Month launch) don't get more book deals writing cosplaying Black characters while real Black romance writers struggle to get attention and financial success to write more for us. I'm speaking to only Black writers/readers. Other non-Black pee-oh-sees need to work for themselves on this, I'm done toting the rainbow on my back with no reciprocity. Too many of them are alligned with white supremacy and that's a whole diff convo.

Maybe just leave Black charcters alone if you don't have the bandwith to write them well. And for god's sake, don't cry musty white woman tears when you willfully mess up. Take them verbal licks and do better in life.

“So we can’t write Black characters?🧍🏾‍♀️” No one said that but if they did they’d have every right. Within two weeks we have learned that not only did a white woman write a “Black romance” but that it will be marketed during Black History Month among other unbelievable things and that another white woman thinks that we put bacon grease in our hair…Tell me why we would want you to write Black characters when y’all are always doing something you’re not supposed to. Touching our experiences without an ounce of research is very bold. Of course you’re getting cussed out and left bad reviews. You thought you had a right to tell that story when you didn’t. If you want to include us in your stories do so without overstepping. That’s all.
