#sans x cinder

[ladyzerodark]

I’m in a mood.

So I’m gonna talk about Ella.

I mentioned Ella in my rant about Sans and Cinder as a couple and said she was a story for another day.  Well, today is that day.

When I come up with stories like this, sometimes I play the sims and make random households to see who gets together and who doesn’t and where their relationships go.  It should go without saying that, when I was finally able to, I made a household with Sans and Cinder.  They ended up married and I was just gonna leave it at that. Then I find them doing some woohoo and next thing I know I get the notification that Cinder is gonna have a baby.

Ella was, both in game and in story context, not planned. But in the end, I fell in love with the adorable little girl that had come from these two sims.  So, I decided to add her into Rent Free.

Let me set the scene.

Cinder and Sans are finally figuring out their relationship status and decide to try some new things as a couple.  During one night of trying these new things, Sans and Cinder end up soul bonding. Neither think this is a big deal, as in the world of Undertale, there’s no records of half monster, half human children.

So imagine their surprise when Cinder’s doctor happily congratulates her and Sans after the former goes in for some weird feelings in her chest.

Toriel and Papyrus are excited as could be, as is Emerald.  Mercurey is too, but he does comment about whether or not the baby will be a skeleton.

Even if he didn’t mean to, Mercurey’s comments do send Cinder into a spiral of panic that surfaces every now and then while she’s pregnant.  What if something’s wrong with the baby?  What if the baby doesn’t survive? What if... what if she’s not a good mother?

Sans, himself, doesn’t let Cinder know he has very similar fears.  His biggest fear is if he’d be good enough to support all three of them.

Therapy helps, but they are hesitant to talk to each other about it.

Time speeds by and Cinder gives birth to a lovely little girl, a bit on the pale side with black hair and golden and blue eyes (heterochromia).  But one of her fears did come true:  Ella was born without her arms.  Cinder feels like she should be devastated, but, looking at Ella, she found that she didn’t care.  She loved her daughter, imperfections and all.

When the two new parents are finally able to lay together, their daughter between them, Cinder confides in Sans her fears and hopes now that Ella has been born.  Sans comforts her, reminding her that she’s not alone and that they can do this together, and with their found family.

Ella, herself, is still getting developed, though she’s got her mother’s determination and her father’s laid back nature.  It takes until she’s older, but she uses her monster powers to create skeleton arms for herself.  Her parents adore her, as do the others in her family.  She loves hanging out with her uncle Papyrus and aunt Emerald.

She obviously isn’t a solution to Sans and Cinder’s issues but watching her grow up does help them understand how far they’ve come.

As I said, I’m still working on her (all this happened like 3 years ago and I’ve been taking too long in playing that save in the sims again) but I adore the concept of Ella and I hope to actually draw her.

Here’s a concept:

[sweetinsaniiity]

ateez as !mafia members

pairing: y/n x ot8 members (bullet format headcanon) genre/au: mafia!au, no smut, but still MDNI since there are depictions of violence (fitting for mafia members), though they are not explicitly described (warnings below), toxicity in relationships, falling in love, red flags, marriage, engagement, pregnancy, betrayal, deception, bank heist rating/warning: PG-18+ so MDNI!!! no smut (though there are hints of it), however the genre itself has mature settings, gun use, !daddy dom Hongjoong, mentions of sadism! Seonghwa, two-faced! Yunho, sociopath! Yeosang, Stockholm Syndrome! San, manipulative! Mingi, lunatic! Wooyoung, brutal! Jongho word count: 6K words (approximately 750 words per member) synopsis: Just Ateez in the mafia with their personalities and how they found love in the most unconventional manner. notes: I've been getting a lot of requests for mafia! Ateez and tbh, I've been itching to write something like this anyway while, spoiler alert, the second part of Sick, Little Games is ongoing. This was a plot for something else, but oh well. Enjoy! Warnings at the end. taglist: @ginger-mingi @0rangemilk @ruubyrubes @oddracha @jaytheatiny @roxannecos

HONGJOONG

The Sovereign; the head, the brains

pure evil because why the hell not?

honestly lacks empathy, he will get what he wants, come hell or high water

no nonsense bullshit leader, he is an extremely calculating, conniving and diabolical mastermind

he walks the talk and immediately takes action after making a bold decision without a second thought

always gets make fun of because of his height, but it's okay, they'd be dead by daylight

when getting information, he doesn't get involved. why?

because he's the one who taught everyone they needed to know, every bloody, gruesome detail

brilliant strategist and an absolute criminal genius, nothing gets past him

could off anyone or anything without any expression or remorse, whether they're innocent or not

there are rumours that Hongjoong had tied a cinder block on someone's foot and the tossed them in the ocean for information

or that perhaps he broke into prison alone to save Seonghwa and then broke back out without getting caught

we will never really know, but if it makes your skin crawl, then it's probably true

and speaking of Seonghwa, the other half of Matz, they built the mafia from scratch

feared by many but will burn the world to make his members happy

will sacrifice the world if it means being with them

or sacrifice Wooyoung if he gets pissed enough

but with how Wooyoung is, he'll end up sacrificing himself, instead

he will never, ever admit that he has a soft spot for the man, though

the others aren't any better either

but he'd tell himself, as long as he'd think of them as five year olds to begin with, being a leader becomes a bit easier

he meets you when he was in the pub one night and he saw you go in the bathroom

he was stunned and was immediately smitten

without thinking, he got up from his seat, went into the bathroom, locked the door, and waited for you

you were surprised and scared, obviously, but blushed when you realized that this was the guy that you've been eyeing all night

but you were too drunk to flirt back, so you ended up puking on his shirt

Hongjoong saw red, and in a fit of rage and lust, he demanded that you come home with him to make up for it

it was so embarrassing and the next year, you automatically remembered it when you woke up

you also woke up to a naked man who slept peacefully beside you and you were mortified, and you knew that this man was no normal man, so you couldn't make a move to leave

but it was okay, his demand to take you home turned into marriage after two years

!daddy dom

very demanding both in his profession and in bed

although you didn't agree on everything he did, you had no right to stop it, and if anything, you admired how he ran his empire

there has never been a time where left you unsatisfied not only in that area, but also in general when he has to get busy

not big on affection but loves holding hands, though he will never admit it

would get on his knees if you asked him to

8/10, approach him with caution

SEONGHWA

The Sadist; devil incarnate in looks and in action

causes as much pain as possible for his own benefit

not necessarily a schadenfreude, just extremely bitter and very goal-oriented

he doesn't hide the fact that he's a sadist, but he doesn't go around bragging about it

he just doesn't give a shit, he didn't invent the moniker

but Seonghwa never k*lls, ever

which makes things worse because he's a very patient man, he will get the information he needs even if it took him days or weeks

it prolongs his enemy's agony, in his mind, they'll eventually give in, and he's usually right

the other half of Matz

went to prison for Hongjoong because he wanted him to start Ateez immediately

he didn't mind prison, it was rather peaceful for him

if anything, it served as a turning point for his criminal life, he had made tons of connections, both by force and from his charm, and Hongjoong was less than surprised

if anyone was to grow their network, it was him because when God made Hongjoong, 95% was for his insane leadership and criminal mind, the rest was unknown

as a person, Seonghwa is cold and expressionless. the only time he shows emotions is when he's in an "operation"

he always gets his hands dirty, he would disable his enemies, but he would never end them

the fear of d*ath and the unknown is delicious, he said

it made him feel alive, or feel in general

he may not be the leader, but his members have a certain respect for him

except for Mingi. he does care for the taller member a lot, but Mingi made it his life's mission to annoy him as much as possible

and unfortunately for Mingi, his manipulation tactics don't work on him

"You think I'm an idiot?" Mingi would tease.

"Hardly. I think you posses above average intelligence," he would deadpan

you meet him when you tried to join the mafia

Seonghwa isn't a saint, but you're no angel either. you eliminated everyone trying out just so you could be on top

you didn't care if you cheated or crossed anyone, you had to be on top even if it killed you

and unknowingly, you had sparred with Seonghwa, and he lost

when you found out he was the Park Seonghwa, you were embarrassed because he had let you win on purpose

it hurt your ego, you had never lost before to anyone, and Seonghwa's smirk told you that he knew this

you trained under his wing, and slowly, you began to fall for him

he looks like he has never moved for anyone, like a panther, his moves are elegant, mysterious, and sleek

and you're the only he cares enough to hurt about, you were what truly made him feel alive rather than the blood that totaled his hands

at first, he rejected you, he didn't want romance to hinder him from his job and all of what came with it

you were heartbroken, but you accepted it, it made sense, falling in love wasn't in your cards, but you fell anyway

Seonghwa couldn't stay away from you, however, whenever he saw that you were making steps to move on, his heart would bleed

in the end, you won, because he did fall for you, he fell much, much harder

in fact, he had fallen for you way before you did, he just didn't want it fester in case it stopped him from being the ruthless Ateez leader

!possessive boi

so much so that he pretty much coerced you into a relationship, not that you minded, you thought it was hot

if he can't have you, then no one else can, he's going to make sure of it

a walking, talking, oversized red flag, but you're colour blind

the members often teased him for being whipped, he would just glare at everyone until they left

you always melted whenever he would pull you and gently kiss your on the forehead

in public, you'd both be very professional about the work, but when it's just the two of you, God knows how much you both can't keep your hands off of one another

9/10, approach at your own risk

YUNHO

The Serpent; a treacherous snake who will betray you

he's very friendly, like that of a small puppy, and may seem like he's very reserved

but make no mistake, Yunho excels in using psychological t***ure and will go to no end for his goals

behind his smiles is a brutal man who is worse than Seonghwa, for a man who is willing to betray anyone is very ruthless and powerful

when the enemies are getting interrogated, he often makes them believe that they are safe and that he's on their side

he will listen to them, bring them food and comfort items like clean clothes, clean pillows, and the likes, while they are detained

facade drops when he's done getting what he wants and destroys the enemy before they catch on

or when he's in an especially cruel mood, he would sometimes warns his enemies that he'd hurt them

the enemies would then panic while they're imprisoned, but Yunho would never do it. He would do this everyday until the prisoner goes insane waiting

but for the most part, Yunho typically let Hongjoong and Seonghwa handle all the bloody details, he had more penchant with the ones he had the settle some scores with, which was not common

he has a soft spot for Jongho because he's the only one who would shake his head at him when he got too far

Jongho would also be the one who'd tell him to cut his 'playtime' short because in his opinion, it's waste of time

he's so good at his act that the members don't even know his real personality sometimes

but Mingi, the other half of YunGi, does

they've been together all their lives, what's another life of crime? Only Mingi truly understands him

and you did too, you knew Yunho for who he really was and he absolutely loved you for it

Yunho and Mingi were childhood friends who had moved away when you were in middle school

you had the biggest crush on Yunho and you never forgot him even after all those years, and apparently, neither did he

one day when Yunho robbed a bank and held everyone hostage, his breath was caught in his lungs when he saw the fear in your eyes as you held your hands up

at first you weren't sure, but when you took a closer look at the man who had decided to rob the bank you worked at, you couldn't help but grasp

he completely aborted the heist and took you with him instead, much to Mingi's surprise

you didn't want a criminal for a boyfriend, but unfortunately for you, Yunho worked on his facade

he did everything to win you over, be it flowers, clothes, jewelry, etc.

you were going to fall for him all over again if it's the last thing he'll ever do, he had no idea why he was doing it or why it had to be you, but it had to be

you always frowned at him, he can't buy your love, so he changed his tactics, he began to cook, massage your back, rub your feet, and do every acts of service he could think of

and his hugs were always the tightest

Yunho was close, all he had to do was just do whatever it was that made you squirm, and behind all the sociopathy, he was genuinely happy that you were seeing him for who he was

you fell in love with the facade and he dropped it when you did, but it was too late

you knew in your head, that you shouldn't, but you couldn't help it

you didn't mind, he treated you like a princess and he was so sweet, and deep down, you knew Yunho was a good man

but was he?

every time Yunho thought about, he couldn't but smirk as a chuckle bubbled up from his chest

but he did really love you, he's always had, there's no doubt about it, how could he not when you're the most beautiful person he's ever laid his eyes on?

that love is based on his own standards, though, and you shall never find out, he'd rather end you than let you go

9/10, if you value your sanity, keep your distance

YEOSANG

The Resistance; he refuses to do bad by choice

he prefers to stay in the shadows because he doesn't believe that violence is a one and done all deal

he's more of a backup just in case things get messy

one could say that he's a pacifist, a peace monger of some sorts,

a very cunning and calculating person, however, when his patience runs thin or worse, out

has a very deceptive face that he uses to his advantage and he usually looks calm

but he's a true sociopath with no true open compassion with very warped beliefs

equally as psychotic as the others, if not worse

the others are very upfront about their brutality and violence

but Yeosang pretends that he doesn't like violence because of his disconnect with the world

but when he does get violent, the hair on everyone's arms rise

even Hongjoong is sometimes horrified of his actions, believing that he originally had good intentions, but lost them along the way

his pacifism is for the greater good, at least in his mind, but he definitely goes too far with his wickedness and delusions of grandeur

one time, he watched Yeosang interact with their enemies and he became very unsettled

he was just talking to them as if it was just a normal day

until he heard Yeosang say, "This is a brawl. I'll let the last man standing go free."

both of them watched as the enemies started betraying and eliminating each other until the strongest man was left

Hongjoong raised a brow when Yeosang offed the last man and he asked him why

"I don't like people with no honour," Yeosang shrugged. "He has no loyalty to his team."

Jongho, his best friend, wasn't at all surprised at how twisted Yeosang's logic was

they both decided to send him to a mental hospital for the time being to sort himself

that's a lie, the last thing the police would look for to find a criminal was in a mental hospital

and that's where he met you, he couldn't help but wonder why someone as sweet and innocent as you would be doing here

you never did tell him your reason, but he didn't care, he slowly lost his mind when he realized that he liked your company

when you saw him, you thought he was cute, until you found out that he was actually crazy in the head

that didn't stop you from hanging out with him though because you were curious why he was always alone

Yeosang mentioned that he has a violent background and he was pleased when you just shrugged and said that everyone lives differently and some things that are right for others may not be for another

he knew then and there that he had to have you

imagine Hongjoong's surprise when he picked up Yeosang and he threatened him that he'll remove the mental hospital from existence if you didn't come along

and he actually would, all you had to do was say the word

the leader sighed when all you did was smile at him, looks like Yeosang found someone to tether him down

the way Yeosang was looking at you as if you'd tell him to actually to burn the hospital was endearing and so Yeosang coded

8.5/10, just don't get in his way

SAN

The Assassin; the indestructible gladiator

if a job or task seems difficult, consider it done when it comes to San

the perfect machine, he will do everything and anything that is asked of him without questioning whether or not they're moral or ethical

he's very by-the-book and indifferent, his cruelty depends on who's asking and it ranges from tame to absolute destruction

extremely skilled at hiding his atrocities and never leaves behind any evidence

which is why he is Seonghwa's favourite member

because a psychopath following a psychopath always ends well for everybody

despite his rugged appearance, San is very quick-witted and very scheming, especially when he's about to get caught

second to Yeosang in making himself try to look normal in public

the only difference being that he is very hollow and he doesn't have a sense of entitlement in what he does

San is not interested in knowing why his tasks are the way they are nor why he has to do them while Yeosang only does them if he think there's some greater good in them

the sooner he does what is asked of him, the less headache he has

because he's perfectly aware that he's a tool for the mafia to use for their own benefit and he's perfectly fine with that

his platonic soulmate, Wooyoung, is trying to dissuade him from this line of thought, he's deeply saddened that that's how San thinks of himself

the tattoo on his thigh remind him of that everyday

he saw you for the first time when Seonghwa had instructed him to eliminate you because you were at the wrong place at the wrong time

at first it wasn't a problem so he kidnapped you in broad daylight

when San took the mask he had put on your face and took a closer look at you, his biggest problem started then and there

he had never seen someone so small, so pure, and so utterly scared of him

he couldn't do it, he couldn't eliminate you, especially not with his own hands, his heart wasn't letting him move at all

for the first time in his life, he felt the need to disobey

it was love at first sight, so after explaining to you honestly why he had to do it, you halfheartedly went into hiding in his house

he lied to Seonghwa that you were gone, and the older wasn't convinced, but regardless, he let it go for now

it was certainly a new arrangement for both of you, you were angry because you knew he put a hit on you

your greedy brother sold you to the mafia so before you changed your mind, you told San to do whatever he wanted with him

San smirked, for all the people he took orders from, yours was the one who made his heart sing

one day, Seonghwa visited San's house by surprise after a couple of months, he was shocked that you not only were you alive and well, but you were now playing house

so San does the most insane thing he could do, he proposed to you in front of a jaw-slacked Seonghwa

Seonghwa almost had an aneurysm when San came clean, mafia morals states that it's taboo to touch a member's partner

it wasn't difficult for you to say yes, you had come to love San for who he was although it was difficult at first

he was a gentle lover, and you didn't care what he was or what he's done, San's loving and caring personality made up for it

you two would stargaze on his roof as you both held hands, sometimes he would put a rom-com movie to make you happy, or he would plan a picnic just for the two of you

being engaged to San was the best decision of your life

you genuinely love the way he was, killing machine and all, but you couldn't help but fall in love with him more

especially with how attentive he was on your needs, especially adjusting to the mafia life

his kisses were definitely the sweetest

9/10, you'll be safe as long as someone doesn't put a price on your head

MINGI

The Politician; his silver tongue can make pigs fly

he has the ability to gain control in literally any situation because of the power he exudes

very charming and very dangerous because of his impeccable confidence towards himself

as charming as he is, he is mostly mad, intimidating and mad

smooth talker, he can get away with justifying his atrocities

he is a textbook diplomat, he can talk his way to get whatever he wants, whenever he wants, from whoever he wants

him and San made a deadly combination, one did whatever anyone wanted and the other can convince the enemy that being dead was good

Mingi's charisma is something to be trifled with, everybody wishes to shoot him but somehow find themselves compelled to not do so

highly intelligent and loves to manipulate people for fun to make himself appear more trustworthy, much like his childhood best friend, Yunho

in actuality, he is a heartless, psychopathic animal who would do anything to conform his sick-minded personality

when he's irritated, he'd violently force others into unfair deals sometimes for the mafia, sometimes because he's bored

expert extortionist, by the time the enemy realizes that they've been made to say and do whatever Mingi wanted, it's too late

there is no backing out because Mingi has no problem ending people who waste his time

he has no mercy, because unlike the other members, he eliminates swiftly, he doesn't care about playing games

his members, especially Seonghwa, Yunho, and Wooyoung, loved playing with their victims, Mingi did not

he also eliminates for absolutely no reason but for his entertainment and his intimidating aura helps him in this regard

as a person, Mingi is actually rather chill

San said that if he didn't know how deadly Mingi was, he would have killed him a long time ago with hoe annoyingly chill he was

"Look at this schmuck," San would scoff. "Doesn't even look like he can shoot a gun."

"Wanna find out?" Mingi shrugged. "Your muscles ain't shit."

and that's how he won against an angry San, who was blinded by his annoyance, when he smacked the gun out of San's hand

things like these always come easy to him, all he had to do was exploit their weakness and use it against them

and it was how he almost has you in the palm of his hand, all you had to do was surrender to him

he hadn't mean to see you, one day he was out with Yunho for coffee and when they were about to leave, you passed him and your scent was captivating

one thing that made his brows raise was that, yes, his manipulation worked on you, but something didn't sit well with him

you felt like the prettiest girl whenever Mingi would shower you with gifts and loads of attention

he was your type of guy - tall with jaws craved by God, body slim and hips begging to be held - he was a dreamboat in your eyes

sooner or later, what turned out to be curiosity on his end, transformed into an unhealthy obsession

you were his, whether you liked it or not, whether you knew it or not

and so you rejected him when he confessed his want for you, which absolutely shocked him, all you did was smirk, you had him where you wanted him

but it was your turn to be shocked when he smirked, all the obsession he showed, the attitude, the gazes, the confession, he had you where he wanted you

you couldn't help but laugh when you realized at how you manipulated each other, but Mingi was starstruck

you weren't complaining much, he had the most dominating hold on you, and if you escaped from him, you'd pay, because you can always run, but you never hide from him

10/10, do not approach

WOOYOUNG

The Hedonist; disorder and havoc are what makes him fully function

wholeheartedly believes that chaos is the only solution to peace

the most deranged out of everybody, his mania has no limit because unlike the others, his violence brings him pure pleasure

is the most headache-inducing member because of his impulsiveness and inconsistent cruelty, which makes him one of the most frightening members

he can be very cruel, and when he is, his methods are very, very slow and prolongs the agony of his victims until they beg him to just end them

sometimes they're so fast that his enemies don't know what hit them

- the master of prolonging his victims and playing with his food before devouring them

it all depends on his mood, but the point is, his unpredictability is what makes him very dangerous

he is highly capable of hurting everyone without hesitation due to his lack of restraint

however, what sets Wooyoung apart is his high impulse control, this means he can control himself on command

what makes him especially dangerous is that he is completely aware of what he's doing and he knows that consequences of his actions, he just doesn't care

in short, Wooyoung is absolutely crazy and not in his right mind

it was technically his fault why Yeosang was as unstable as he was, but he thought to himself, he was doing his friend a favour

"Have you ever regretted meeting me?" Wooyoung grinned.

"Every single day of my life," Yeosang scoffed.

sulking, he dragged San with him so they could get a tattoo together, later, he offed the tattoo artists for agreeing with him and not bothering to stop his decision

he was surprised that San didn't even protest, but that was his closest friend so he won't argue

when Yeosang was sent for damage control, the man just face palmed himself and left, deciding that he'd rather get punished by his leaders than involve himself in this mess that is Jung Wooyoung

but make no mistake, as demented and highly unstable as he is, he is Hongjoong and Seonghwa's right hand man and the members respect that

though they are close to ousting him and the members are very, very close on making a petition to demote him

brilliant planner, he plans his attacks in advance, as impulsive as he is, he always prefers tactical planning rather than facing his enemies face on

after all, his strategic mind was what led him to plan and steal you from your home

you were the enemies daughter, and Wooyoung's insanity knew no bounds because for all the things he had made plans for, your capture was the one that made his skin tingle and his blood run fast

but you can't change a leopard's spots, despite all his planning, Wooyoung ended up climbing your window at night so he can see you

you were half naked as you prepared for sleep, but you ended up screaming so loud when you saw a shadowy figure climb your roof

he quickly covered your mouth and you both his under the sheets when your father came in the room

you sheepishly told him that you saw a bug fly in from the window and got surprised, in the end, he bought the excuse and left

"Hello, princess," Wooyoung smirked as he traced your skin with his finger

you squirmed, you knew Wooyoung's fascination for you and at first it irked you, but only because both of you were in a Romeo and Juliet situation

you have always been attracted to him, and he knew it, but you couldn't do anything about it

months and months after that, he still kept pursuing you and it got so bad that he would purposefully pick a fight with your father just so he could have an excuse to see you

your father was livid, it wasn't really a secret how much of an absolute lunatic Wooyoung was in the mafia world

however, even he couldn't deny how intelligent Wooyoung was and how his operations were always a guaranteed success with no loose ends

Wooyoung being with you had more pros than cons and at the end of the day, your father was a businessman

when your father had requested a meeting with Ateez and proposed a merge, they had agreed after both sides presented their thoughts

your father hissed at Wooyoung to hold his horses when he tried to grab you

imagine everyone's surprise when Wooyoung said this merge would have happened anyway, because you were already four months pregnant

9.8/10, intelligence and insanity would bring the apocalypse

JONGHO

The Liar; the most complex out of them all

while everyone focuses on being out there in action and extracting what they need to know, Jongho preferred to be in the side lines

not that he didn't know how to be out there, rather, they don't want him in there

Jongho is extremely cruel, and what the other members are good at, he's twice as brutal

he's twice as sadistic as Seonghwa, the only difference is that he doesn't get pleasure in hurting, twice as deceptive as Yunho, though not as arrogant about it, and he's twice as manipulative as Mingi

a lot of their enemies always underestimated Jongho and it only made him smirk

he always looked calm, emotionless, and nonchalant most of the time, it's usually this time where Jongho strikes

an exceptionally clever and absolutely cunning criminal genius and is most similar to Mingi - he doesn't like to play with his victims

his bloodthirst has does not accept limit, it's to the point that fellow member, Yunho, once suggested that the mafia may not even be enough to satisfy his bloodthirsty ravaging

with all of that being said, Yunho had took it upon himself to pull Jongho out of the action

"Goddamn it, Jongho, so much blood," Yunho clicked his tongue in annoyance when he saw that the enemy was long gone. "What did you use?"

when he lifted up a frying pan, Yunho's mouth drops, how much force had it taken for Jongho to produce this much blood with that?!

instead, he became the interrogator, and he is in charge of extracting even the hardest information he can get

which is fine by him, he's sick of being told off by his leaders about his brutality anyway, he owes no one an explanation

Jongho doesn't like to get his hands dirty, most of the time he can manipulate someone or force even an entire group to give him what he wants without lifting a finger

so now, Jongho's content with sticking to the question, the physical and psychological t**t**ing was his members' forte

however, even some of the members fear him, it isn't like Seonghwa where it's fear out of respect

some enemies are hard nuts to crack, and this is when Jongho enters, they call their last resort

easily the most dangerous and spine-chilling member, he doesn't get involved in all the brutality now, but when he does, they're very vile

they're so vile and atrocious that Hongjoong had instructed that only the worst of the worst should be brought to Jongho

his best friend, Yeosang, tried to contest this verdict, but to no avail, even he knew how bad it can get with Jongho

of course, the higher the peak, the harder the fall, and in most cases on his end, it's pure, unadulterated rage

this is Jongho's biggest weakness as it causes him fatal flaws of mistakes that are very much crucial

like that one time you callously kicked him out of the local library

despite his ruthlessness, he actually loved reading and gaining knowledge on the most mundane of things

so when you started your new job there, of course, he took notice of you, how could he not?

you were something worth reading, you were an enigma that tempted him to read further on, but he stopped himself, he wasn't all evil - you were innocent, his life wasn't for you

you looked so sweet, he didn't want to corrupt you, but oh, did he want to so badly

his thoughts were interrupted with a phone call from Yeosang, and the next thing he knew, he was seething in anger outside

in your defense, you didn't mean to, you took notice of him too and you cheeks blushed all the time, you panicked and didn't mean to kick him out

you were going to pay for this, he thought, and so he had this brilliant plan of following you into your apartment

you were about to close the door when his foot stopped it and he squeezed his way in, you didn't even have time to be surprised, he left before he could do anything

"Dude, you're an idiot, that isn't how you pick up girls," Yeosang snickered in delight

"Rich coming from the guy that met his girl in the nut hut," he snapped

in the end, he did man up and apologized to you the next day, and to Jongho's surprise, you invited him to your place for coffee

you confessed that you had a bit of a crush on him, this straightforward attitude made his heart skip and he tried to dissuade the confession

but you surprised him more when you admitted that you knew what he was and what he does,

you were the daughter of a man who owed money to Ateez, and your father did end up paying all of it back, but Mingi wanted him gone anyway

Jongho decided to let him go since he did do his end of the bargain

it was absolutely wrong, you couldn't get him out of your head, and when you were about to forget him, he suddenly showed up at your new job

you eventually found out that his love was the most genuine

he wasn't the biggest fan of physical affection, but he did love showering you with it the best he could

he loved fixing your hair for you when it got windy, he loved patting your head and then leaning in to give you nose boops

the way he listened when you talked without making it about himself, it meant a lot to you

or when he would eat your favourite food with him even though the food you liked wasn't his cup of tea

or perhaps when he automatically removed food from your plate that he knew you hated

your favourite was when he would hold your hand under any table, or any hidden physical contact

10/10, extremely dangerous, do not approach at all costs

𝙵𝚞𝚛𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛 𝙽𝚘𝚝𝚎𝚜 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚆𝚊𝚛𝚗𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚜: please do not take this seriously. This is not a representation of the Ateez members in real life and this is not a go-signal for anybody to fulfill this type of fantasy. This is figment of this author's wild imagination to share with anyone and it shall stay that way.

Rent Free Verse - Valentine’s

A Short Valentine's Day Story

Toriel smiled as the aroma of butterscotch pie filled the kitchen.  She was busy baking for her fellow tenants of the complex, as a present for Valentine's Day. Of course, Toriel was not alone. Along with the lovely aroma, other young bakers had joined her in making treats, for their family and friends and their Valentines.  Obviously, it wasn't everyone, but Toriel was pleased to have such wonderful company. A quiet sigh of frustration came from her left. "Is everything alright, Cinder?"  She asked, glancing at the young woman who was staring at a a group of messily made cookies.  One could clearly see they were hearts, though it seemed the dough didn't agree with Cinder, as the edges were a bit jagged. "These are just...not how I thought they would come out."  Toriel noted her attempt to keep calm as she grabbed one of the doughs left to the side to be worked on.  She slammed it onto the table, a little too forcefully, and started rolling it out. Many of the other bakers glanced up, but only for a moment.  Toriel put a gentle paw on her shoulder. "I know you said you used to work in the kitchen in the past... I imagine it's been a while since then."  The goat mom smiled.  "You don't need to force yourself to remember how to do something." "I know, I know."  Cinder grumbled, giving up on her rolling and looking at Toriel.  "It's the first time I'm paying attention to let alone participating in Valentine's Day.  I just want it to be perfect."  She turned away for a moment, Toriel just barely seeing her ears turn red in embarrassment.  "He deserves it, after all I put him through." "He stood beside you because he knew you were capable of changing."  Toriel and Cinder glanced at Sophie, who was busy decorating her cookies.  "You're in a very similar situation as Darios.  He still isn't trusted by those from his world, but he's slowly becoming a better person because he's in an environment where he has support to change." "Most of the former villains are finding it easier to change, because of that."  Toriel added. "Plus, you love his family!"  Serena commented from across the table, handing pink food coloring to Mallow.  "I'm sure he'd rather be with someone who likes his family."  Cinder let out a good-natured chuckle. "Well... It's hard not to like his brother." "Right?!"  Serena's eyes were practically shining.  "Do you think he'll be excited?" "Knowing him, I bet he's sleeping at his job."  Cinder snorted, grinning slightly.  "Honestly, I don't even know how I managed to get any feelings for him."  The girls giggled as she added a quiet "Lazy ass." Cinder glanced down at her not so perfect cookies and a small smile appeared on her face. "He isn't the type to judge people too harshly, is he?" "Not for something you put your heart into to make."  Toriel responded, sharing her smile.  "Now.  We have more baking to do." "Right!" ~ Later on in the evening, Cinder stood nervously outside the Fast Break Nook, a little cafe in town, waiting for her date to arrive.  Internally she kicked herself, for forgetting their date was set up at the Nook, which was well known for deserts. Glancing up, she started watching the couples walking by, listening as they smiled and laughed together.  Would she and her date end up like that?  Part of her hoped so.  Cinder blinked, as a small snowflake landed on her cheek. "Huh... I didn't know it was going to snow.  Hopefully he won't get caught in traffic..." "Snow way I'd ever be late to this, Ms. Fall." Cinder jumped slightly, turning to see her date. "Sans, you really shouldn't take a short cut behind me."  Sans smiled his usual lazy smile. "Sorry, sorry."  He said, offering a hand to her.  "Shall we?" Cinder gave him an affectionate look before taking his hand. "I'd be delighted." "So, I hear you were baking with Toriel today." "I did... The cookies...aren't perfect." "They don't need to be.  I'll love them anyway if it's from you."

A short Valentine’s Day story I wanted to write.

Cinder X Sans is a pairing I never thought I’d like, but I feel like there’s a lot of potential.... for Angst.  And a big part of my Rent Free Verse AU is exploring how villains would be if they decided to change. I may do a full fanfic of Cinder’s evolution in this AU including her relationship with Sans and his family and friends.

I know I’ll be the only one who ships them but eh. This was more for me.

I'm back! Selfship Week 2021! It will be my first post of this year!

I hope you enjoy my favorite skeleton to pair Luna with Sansy Caligraphy! Dance Sans no less. I love this big softie so much. This is a universe that mirrors Dancetale but this has my own twists. These two have a fic of their own but this is an alternative story. Whether you canon it for a future they might have is up to you!

Enjoy!

[waheelawhisperer]

Here's a strange one for the ask request, if you have to ship a RWBY character with a Arknights character, who'd it'd be and why?

Fuck I'm not good at crossover ships

Qrow gets pegged by half the cast because this man has a phenomenal ability to attract tops that crosses the boundaries of gender and sexuality, they're helpless to resist the overwhelming urge to bend him over the nearest furniture

I actually had to think about this one a little bit, but if I had to pick one entirely serious ship I'd go with Horn x Robyn Hill, they're both very used to fighting for an oppressed people by this point in the story and I feel like they could get along quite well. Their potential dynamic actually reminds me of Schneewood Forest in a way.

I will marry Ironwood to Theresis because I enjoy watching disasters unfold in real time

Cinder x Talulah just seems funny to me for some reason

Taiyang and Saria bond over being divorced dads, get married, then get divorced. Silence's Homewrecker Instincts activate but she can't decide which one to sleep with so she ends up choosing both of them. The whole thing ends with everyone miserable but Saria and Tai have both doubled the size of their repertoire of dad jokes, so the real losers are Ifrit, Yang, and Ruby

Ruby is too busy gushing over all the Terran technology to get shipped with anyone, but she probably makes friends with all the engineers

Weiss collects a harem of people with ice powers

Silence's Married Woman Senses go off the moment she sees Willow, Willow gets her first orgasm in at least a decade as a result (and then her second, third, fourth, and so on)

I think Jaune would see Nearl and be painfully reminded of Pyrrha, poor boy would watch Margaret do her Paragon of Chivalry and Goodness thing and start sobbing uncontrollably on the spot

Specter and Nora become fast friends and cause no end of trouble

Blake and Blaze end up dating solely because they think it would be funny to watch everyone around them mess up their names

Yang marries Nearl and then I marry both of them because tall busty blonde onee-sans who could kick my ass activate all my neurons

San japan was pretty fun! I cosplayed as Gwyn, Lord of Cinder!

Uncanny X-Men Abridged: 1982

The X-Men, those Brood-snatched mutants that have sworn to protect a world that hates and fears them, are a cultural juggernaut with a long, tangled history. Want to unravel this tapestry? Then read the Abridged X-Men!

(Uncanny X-Men 153 - 164, Annual 6) - by Chris Claremont and Dave Cockrum, Josef Rubinstein, Bob Wiacek, Brent Anderson, Bill Sinciewicz

“So, this year will be about an epic space saga with the Starjammers and the Shi’ar, and I’ll imbue one of the women with cosmic powers.” “Didn’t you already do…?” “No, you don’t get it. This time, she won’t be one of the X-Men. She'll be an ex-Avenger. What? ...What?” (Uncanny X-Men 164)

The year 1982 is a pretty diverse one for the X-Men. It’s got:

Shi’ar politics

Brood plots

Shi’ar court drama

A little fairytale (and a little nightmare)

Brood intrigue

Shi’ar space opera

Brood backstabbings

There’s also a pentagon raid and some dracula shenanigans or whatever, but like 80% of this year is one big, honking space opera: the Brood saga. I know this is a fan favorite story arc and I know that me not being enthusiastic about all of this is my own bias. I know I prefer stories that take place on Earth and all this space bullshit is not my cup of tea, but damn. It’s not bad or anything, but it’s just so long and there’s just so little levity throughout.

Okay, I can do this.

Before we head into space, the X-Men are moving on up! After the mansion is trashed one too many times, Professor Xavier decided to relocate to the Bermuda Triangle!

Jesus fucking Christ, Professor, every single time I think you might turn a new leaf, you go on and pretend boundaries are optional for you. Ugh. How cute is Illyana’s little t-shirt, though? (X-Men 154)

Scott and Ororo are finishing things up at the mansion and bonding over racquetball when Corsair the Starjammer crashes into the lake, chased by a Shi’ar dreadnought. Or a Sidri hunter? Whatever. Aliens. Scott, Ororo and Corsair manage to defeat the Shi’ar even though they blow the mansion to smithereens (again!), but Scott incidentally finds out through a Tragic Keepsake (an old locket) that Corsair is in fact Christopher Summers, his father. Corsair promptly breaks the news that his mother was raped and murdered by D’Ken, the previous insane Shi’ar emperor.

It’s... not a happy family reunion.

Scott is obviously unhappy that Corsair never bothered to get back to Earth and find out what was up with his boys (kind of justified), while Corsair is kind of freaked about how cold-blooded Scott can be in his leadership. (Not v. justified. You don’t get to be mad how somebody turned out in your absence.)

Anyway, an even bigger space ship renders their brief victory moot by simply beaming them the fuck out of there. The Shi’ar even pick up the rest of the X-Men from their island, somehow knowing to pick up new X-Man Kitty but not Carol and Illyana.

The sitch is as follows, as Corsair reveals: a lady named Deathbird kidnapped Lilandra. She’s Lilandra’s older sister who forfeited the throne when she ‘accidentally’ killed their mum and who can only claim it again when Lilandra dies. (Appartently, with the Shi’ar, the line of succession is more like a loop.) She implicated the Starjammers in her sister’s kidnapping and this enticed the Shi’ar to come to Earth, Corsair’s home planet. The Shi'ar then recruit the X-Men into doing their dirty work for them: if they don’t recover Lilandra in a day or two, they will blow the Earth to cinders. It’s all v. 24.

The X-Men are shunted back to NYC, sans Kitty and Nightcrawler. They will serve as the Shi’ar’s hostages and Kitty quickly gets her mits on a costume machine.

Completely against Claremont’s usual style, this is not a foreshadowing of Kitty being a father. (X-Men 155)

Apparently Deathbird (who looks awful here) doesn’t work alone: out on the streets of Manhattan, the X-Men are not only attacked by Lilandra’s brat older sister, but also a race of cheap Alien-knock off… uh, aliens: the Brood. They look like the N’Garai, but with more scales, more wings and more vocal chords. I always feel like the Brood would be a lot more menacing if they wouldn’t talk.

In any case, theyd are formidable foes: they manage to impale Colossus and Deathbird snatches Xavier before she escapes into space. Goddamnit.

Fortunately, the rest of the Starjammers appear to help our intrepid heroes with their space-chase. They also have a Pokémon-Center machine that patches up Colossus. (Incidentally, they reveal that Colossus is 18, which makes the whole Kitty/Piotr-thing marginally less skeevy. Marginally.)

Meanwhile, one of Lilandra’s admirals, a dude named Samedar is in cahoots with Deathbird and… WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT A SPACE WHALE?!

SPACE WHAAAAALE *electrical guitar power chord* (X-Men 156)

Apparently, the Brood inhabit gentle space whales as their homes. Everyone acts horrified about this, because raping and pillaging the place you live on is something that humans would never do. The X-Men manage to free Lilandra and Professor X, but when Charles reaches out to Kitty and Kurt to deliver the message that Lilandra is safe, something inside of him assaults him, forcing him into a catatonic state. Oops!

The Brood, meanwhile, chitter that Deathbird has failed them. In order to save her hide, she promises them the powerful X-Men. The Brood, keen on snatching bodies with superpowers, decide she can live. For now.

The X-Men make a beeline for Earth, but will they reach it in time?

Fortunately, Kitty and Kurt heard enough of Xavier's message to know they should generally put a stop things. They break free, planning to bring the Imperial Guard over to their side. Using the costume machine, Kitty pretends to be Phoenix so they can grab Oracle, the telepath. Oracle reads their minds and knows they speak the truth: Samedar is a traitor.

Chaos ensues and, just as Samedar fires the bolt of annihilation (or whatever), the Starjammers are able to intervene. Earth is saved and this space arc briefly ends, but Charles is still catatonic!

While Moira and Oracle try to help Xavier, the X-Men catch the following tv show:

Slowly, insidiously, prejudice against mutants is on the rise. The artwork of the tv-program is hilariously bad: Kitty is all elongated and I thought Angel was Deathbird for a hot second (X-Men 158)

Moira points out that Xavier used to have ties with the government: they will have files on the X-Men. Kitty suggests using a Shi’ar-virus to wipe out the data they have and the X-Men go along with it, solidifying them as an anti-government group. Fuck the system! Sure, they have fought Sentinels before (rogue off-shoots of government programs), but this time, they’re infiltrating the actual Pentagon.

It’s Storm, Wolverine and Carol on this field trip and things immediately go sour when they encounter Rogue. (Rogue made her debut in the pages of an Avengers Annual where she stole Ms. Marvel’s powers and identity, but this is her first appearance in the Uncanny X-Men proper.) Storm wonders if Rogue is somehow connected to the government, not knowing that Mystique, as Raven Darkholme, is working there.

This panel is filled with so many questionable things: Wolverine calling Rogue ‘red’ (???), Rogue saying lah-de-dah and what the hell is that outfit? Is she a Scottish punk rocker getting ready for mass? At least she calls Logan li’l man. That is correct. (X-Men 158)

Do I love it? Do I hate it? I’m sorry, I absolutely cannot get over this outfit.

While Wolverine and Storm take on Rogue, Carol Danvers is chased by Mystique who has an unclear vendetta against the former Ms. Marvel. Rogue manages to take out herself when she bites off more than she can chew and steals Storm’s powers, while Carols manages to knock out Mystique and turn her in. Carol then proceeds to delete the files on the X-Men… and also the ones related to Ms. Marvel, wiping away her past self.

To me, this is the most engaging storyline of this year, because it highlights once again what the X-Men are about: sometimes, in order to do right, you have to sacrifice looking heroic. (Also, governments shouldn’t be trusted just because they’re governments.)

We’re skipping the storyline where Claremont shows he’s read up on his Bram Stoker, because it’s mostly Storm vs. Dracula and it’s not v. relevant. I think the most important detail is that Kitty’s parents are getting divorced and Kitty is (rightly so) being a teenager about it.

Far more interesting is the prelude to the Brood-sage. While Xavier lays dying of an unknown mental affliction, he flashes back to his time spent in Israel, where he met a catatonic patient named Gabrielle Haller and a man with a magnetic personality called Magnus.

The XMU saw this and proceeded to milk this for all the Xavier/Magneto-vibes they could possibly cram into a decade of movies. And it was glorious. (X-Men 161)

Somehow, Xavier’s jaunt in her brain tears down Gabrielle’s Walls of Trauma and she awakens from her catatonic state. Gabby seduces Xavier and Xavier of course sees no problems with trampling all over this doctor/patient-boundary. ffs Charles. Xavier, Magnus and Gabby spend their summer playing at being a throuple until she’s taken by nazis! It’s Hydra and Baron von Strucker! Apparently, Hydra incepted the location to a stash of gold in Gabrielle’s brain and now that she’s awoken, they want their loot back!

Xavier and Magnus team up and quickly recover Gabrielle, while Magnus uses his powers to turn some nazis into red mist. Compared to idealistic Charles, Magnus is established as the ruthless one who is willing to cross certain moral horizons to achieve his goals. This is the first comic that spells this out explicitly, and it’s absolutely not a coincidence that this is also where it is revealed that Magnus is a concentration camp survivor. Charles grew up a privileged rich white kid, while Magnus saw the absolute worst of humanity as a persecuted Jew.

Magnus doing a sweeping speech before flying off on a random inanimate object will always be a favorite character beat. (Uncanny X-Men 161)

To stave off any unfortunate jokes about the conception of David Haller, I will simply point out that Xavier’s waking up from his coma is about as random as Gabby waking up from hers. Lilandra ignores all this for narrative expediency and throws a feast! Huzzah!

And during that feast, the Brood, led there by Deathbird, tele-yoink the X-Men out of there! They leave Charles behind (we’ll see why next year), but do snatch Carol Danvers. With that, we finally kick off the Brood Saga proper! WoOoOoOoO!

When we check on the X-Men next, some time has passed and we get our requisite annual Wolverine focus issue. We see Wolverine escape the Brood and get hunted on some strange alien planet. Through flashback, it is revealed that the Brood have subdued the X-Men through mind-altering poison, essentially serving as a lotus machine. Wolverine’s healing factor has helped him stave off the effects and, more importantly, it has helped him kill off the Brood queen egg that’s inside of him.

Eep.

See, the Brood have infected/inserted the X-Men with Brood eggs, which means they’re incubating li'l Broodlings. Before long, the Brood inside will take over, giving them a Brood body with X-Men powers.

Wolverine kills his pursuers, once again losing all but a shred of his clothes. (Wolverine is naked more often than Storm is at this point.) He vows to kill all the Brood - even if they used to be X-Men! dun dun dun

MEANWHILE, back on Earth, Charles is taking the loss of Lilandra and the X-Men hard. He’s back at the mansion (wasn’t that destroyed?) and is taking care of Illyana, who is a lot creepier these days. He considers his dream deader than disco (Hi, Dazzler), nicely paving the way for the advent of the New Mutants.

Back on the Brood Planet, Wolverine has freed Carol, who’s had her body experimented on. Storm and Cyclops, meanwhile, have started picking at threads of their mental mindscapes and have begun to free themselves. One by one, they free the remaining X-Men and make way to a ship to escape this planet.

One of the Brood is called Kam’n’éhàr, once again proving that you can make anything sound sci-fi/fantastical if you sprinkle enough apostrophes on top of it.

Kurt and Kitty are on stealing-Lilandra’s-ship-back duty, but the Brood won’t let them go without a fight. The duo manage to get the ship launched, but immediately run into trouble. Shunted-out-of-the-airlock trouble, in Kurt’s case.

Yes, Claremont is a huge Alien-fan, why do you ask? (X-Men 163)

A running theme throughout this arc is the X-Men hesitating to kill the Brood, with Wolverine on one end of the spectrum and Storm on the other. While I sort of understand it with Storm and her ‘sanctity of life’-schtick, I don’t fully understand the rest of the team’s’ qualms. While I agree that killing when you have another recourse is bad, the Brood are especially unapologetically murderous and you’re trapped on their home planet. This should be less of a zero sum thing: at this point, all y’all are surviving.

Kitty saves Kitty and they beam the rest of the team up to Lilandra’s pleasure yacht, but they’re not out of the woods yet. They need to engage the warp drive while escaping the Brood’s galactic navy. Cyclops realizes that the Brood aren’t shooting to kill, which is just as well, because all the X-Men are out of sorts. Storm is crippled with doubt, Cyclops keeps seeing visions, things that should have hurt Kitty badly are barely a scratch, etc. Feeling especially wonky is Carol Danvers, but with her it’s because all that experimentation lets her ascend to cosmic power levels. Jean went Phoenix in space, Carol goes Binary. She promptly powers up the warp drive with her new powers, getting the X-Men out of there…

...stranding them somewhere in the depths of space. Things get weirder and weirder on the ship. Kitty, for example, recovers fully from her radiation poisoning and Wolverine, who knows what's up, is worried. Storm figures out the awful truth on her own, horrified to realize that her lost sense of harmony and balance is because she has been violated, because she is birthing an abomination. To save her teammates -- and perhaps her soul -- she shunts herself out of the airlock.

The rest of the X-Men are wondering why. Wolverine finally tells them they’re all Brood Kinder eggs and Binary, enraged, also leaves the ship. She… doesn’t bother with a door.

for fuck’s sake, Binary (X-Men 164)

And with that completely unnecessary hole in the hull, we leave the X-Men in a vacuum-shaped lurch. I know we’re just past the middle of the Brood-saga, but this is where 1982 ends. More fitting, perhaps, to note is that this issue was the last of Dave Cockrum, the artist who conceived at least half of these characters for the first time in Giant-Size X-Men.

Next time, more Brood and more half-baked moral quandaries. Yawn. I can’t wait.

Best new character: 1982 is the birth-year of many of the New Mutants, but it’s also Rogue’s first appearance in an X-Men comic proper. While my heart goes out to Roberto and Dani, I still have to pick my favourite Southern Belle. <3 Can’t wait to see you on the team, sugah.

Best storyline: The X-Men raid the Pentagon!

Most audacious retcon: Charles and Eric fucked knew each other all along!

What to read: Uncanny X-Men 153, 158, 160 and 161. If you like the Brood, also go for 154 - 157 and 162 to 164, but I wasn’t particularly charmed by it all.

Additionally, read Marvel Graphic Novel 4 for the first appearance of the New Mutants and the Wolverine-mini-series.

I'm glad you like my ramblings about these two!

When I was first coming up with it, her arm was going to be made of her aura or her element of choice, created in a similar way to how she can create weapons with her powers. It would be similar to her Grimm arm in that it can morph into different shapes as needed, but it would appear much more human in shape when she doesn't morph it. (Honestly having the arm be skeleton-like would be a fun way to connect the two, I did do something similar but it wasn't for Cinder's arm)

Papyrus is very much like Toriel in that he wants to give Cinder positive interactions and be friends. Tensions were high at first, for a variety of reasons, but Papyrus tried to remain positive (mainly for Emerald's sake). As time went on, he spent more time with her (and Toriel) and was able to see the changes in her much quicker than Sans. Paps however does make sure she doesn't interact with Ruby and her friends, mostly at Cinder's own request because of her concern of relapsing back into her old ways. (At some point, they will end up interacting and Paps will be one of the mediators)

Since Emerald and Mercurey joined the good side earlier than Cinder (in Rent Free), they had a little more time to get to know Sans. For Mercurey, he's on good terms with Sans but definitely doesn't consider him a friend at the moment. He's not really a fan of Sans' easygoing nature and tends to be on the receiving end of practical jokes (which he totally doesn't find funny. Nope, not at all). He felt a bit of jealousy when Sans and Cinder got closer, but in the end, he acknowledged that Sans was a good thing for her.

Emerald, because she and Papyrus became friends, likes Sans just fine. She enjoys watching the antics of the Skeleton Bros and has occasionally joined in on the pranks towards Mercurey. She is still very protective of Cinder and is the one to give Sans the shovel talk when they get closer romantically.

I know this wasn't asked, but I personally think Chara and Cinder would be therapy buddies also.

An excuse to write about this random ship and how they interact? Yes please @paperclippedmime

I have many thoughts about Cinder X Sans so under the cut we go!

The Cinder X Sans ship started when I was working on my massive crossover, Rent Free (still am but it's taken a backseat). Not gonna lie, this crossover and other AUs are the only way I can see this ship happening.

Around the time I was starting it, RWBY was in it's 8th season I believe and we were learning A LOT about Ms. Fall (obviously nothing that excuses her actions, but I digress). And, as most fanfic writers do, I started to think about what might have happened if Cinder decided to try for redemption (either because she actually cared about Emerald or because she realized that Salem was too much like her step mother).

Things didn't end up going that way when I set in my mind how it would play out. It was more of a forceful separation from Salem's influence (i.e. getting her Grimm arm chopped off because she was so torn about leaving and joining with Emerald and Mercurey, who had defected to the Rent Free good guys, that it started going crazy).

Among those involved was Sans, who wasn't too pleased when Toriel (the saint that she is) volunteered to keep an eye on Cinder. Having been told her backstory, Toriel ended up being a mother figure to Cinder, a HEALTHY one at least. Because he did not trust her, Sans stuck to her like glue, using any excuse to keep a Gaster Blaster aimed at her. So obviously it wasn't instant romance between the two.

Through living with Toriel and her family, and lots and lots of therapy, Cinder mellows out a bit. She still is very much not willing to show many strong emotions around people, but she's learning that bottling up her emotions isn't exactly healthy. Sans himself notes her positive changes, but is still leery about letting her near Ruby and the others, as in Rent Free, Papyrus is their friend.

It isn't until Cinder is introduced to the idea that her Fall Maiden powers could, in theory, assist with making another arm for herself, that she and Sans interacted on a more personal level. Due to his science background and strength level, Sans was one of the few that were given permission (read as asked very nicely by Dark) to help Cinder figure this out.

The two were curt with each other, but after a successful test and Sans praising her for a job well done, Cinder began to realize that Sans was genuinely trying to help her. The successful test also caused Sans to notice how Cinder was afraid of failure and that her confidence was more for show than he'd realized.

The two grew much closer after that, becoming good friends. Cinder can't help but roll her eyes at his puns but some of his jokes to make her smile. For Sans, he gets annoyed when she decides to do her own thing instead of sticking to the plan, but he also sees how she's trying to change for the better.

Neither really realized they were starting to view each other romantically until Undyne made a comment about them doing a double date with her and Alphys. It's still new to them and they're still figuring it all out, with Cinder being scared she could revert back to how she was and with Sans have the (unfounded as it's not possible in Rent Free) paranoia of there being a reset that he somehow fully remembers and has to watch Cinder suffer again.

Both have a lot of issues, and therapy would probably be a big part of their lives for a long time. But they'd support each other and their families have their backs.

And then came Ella. Who is a story for another post. :)

Fairytale Complex - [Undertale | Sans x Reader]

[Gender Neutral, Frisk's Parent Reader | Slow Burn]

Chapter Three | sans. (Part 1 of 3)

[First] | [Previous] | [Next]

meet me by the train station.

the place's bustlin' and tori's here with me, just in case you're worried 'bout meeting a stranger all alone.

That's surprisingly thoughtful.

And I'm guessing Tori means Toriel?

The goat lady who looked after Frisk?

yup.

she's gotta go deal with some legal stuff 'bout us living on the surface, so she can't stay for long.

but she'll still be here by the time you get there.

Hmm…

Now that just makes me more suspicious of you.

Tell me why it's important that only you specifically want to talk to me about this?

Doesn't Toriel know about what happened down there, too?

yeah, but…

i need to talk to you about somethin' else.

stuff that'll probably be a lil' difficult for me to explain, but that you should still know, being frisk's parent and all.

Now I'm curious.

I'm stuck in some traffic, but I should be there soon.

Would it still be okay with Toriel if I get there in the next ten to fifteen minutes?

textin' while drivin'?

My aunt chose to drive me here.

'Cuz she also said she doesn't trust the whole situation much.

heh.

alright.

tori says it's fine. she doesn't need to leave in the next hour so…

see ya soon, (l/n).

See you soon, mister Serif.

"How's he gonna know who you are if only you have a picture of him?" you aunt asks, eyes locked on the road. Her bright red nails, just as flashy as the rest of her outfit, glisten under the sun, fantasy jewellery and wrist watch doing the same. Her tanned skin almost glows with health in comparison to yours, yet to be healed from the past two months of tension and wait. There's also her signature and almost hair salon professional level of cleanliness when it came to grooming her hair, making her overall, outer appearance far more different and striking when compared to you.

"(Mom/Dad)'s all over the news now!" Frisk says, answering her question before you can even word your thoughts out in mind, too busy noticing how much you've let yourself go in so short of a time.

You plug your phone to the car charger and meet with the side view of your aunt's face. "Like Frisk said. The guy I'm meeting says my face's been thrown out on the news a lot lately, so he already knows what I look like." You pull down the mirror and take a quick look at yourself, eye bags and stress acne now partially covered with a cheap, (s/t) foundation and expression made to look less tired thanks to a full eight hours of sleep. Still, you're far from looking anywhere near to the days before Frisk's disappearance or all the pictures displayed on the news, these from a similar time. All the stress and constant sorrow was still present on most of your features, from something as subtle as the loss of brightness in your eyes to something as noticeable as the drag in your walk and the small slump in your posture.

"Do I look okay, auntie?" you ask, taking advantage of a stop sign.

Brenda spares a quick but meaningful glance at you and a small smile manages to show on her face. She stays quiet even as her eyes go back to facing the road. At a second stop, this one caused by a red light, she looks at you again, saying, "Why are you so concerned about that, dear? I get wanting to look well and dignified for meeting new people, but this is the third time you've asked me today." She giggles when Frisk does, both apparently sharing the same thought. "You look fine, by the way. Though a bit of rest could do you good." The light changes and she carries on driving, slowing down and turning on the signal when she sees the train station to her left. "How many hours do you work, by the way? If you're still working overtime, you should stop that now. Not only for my dear grandchild's sake, but for you to get your long overdue beauty sleep."

"...Sixty hours a week?" you mutter, already anticipating a dramatic reaction from her. Even Frisk seems to notice your answer's not favourable enough to her, so they brace themselves by grabbing on to their seatbelt and pretending they're not paying attention to the conversation anymore.

Staying true to herself, Brenda almost slams the brakes just as she's halfway into parallel parking and snaps her gaze over to you, eyes wide and mouth agape. "What?!"

"Sixty a week," you repeat, louder now. "I had to get my mind off Frisk going missing somehow, so I... took that chance to save up some more by working overtime."

"That's fifteen hours too much, dear." She frowns. "That's either twelve hours a day for five days a week, or working non-stop every day for at least eight to nine hours! No wonder you look so stressed. What about your friends? Your family? Your coworkers?" She seems to notice why you've lowered your voice and does that herself, reminded over Frisk's presence at the back seats. "Oh, honey…" She sighs. "Did you really just work, eat, and sleep those two months they were gone?"

"...Maybe," you reply, looking away from her. "I just didn't know what else to do, and having free time for myself made me feel more guilty about it. The only time I sat down was to watch some TV for when I couldn't sleep at night."

Your aunt finishes parking and lets out another sigh. A gentler look crosses her eyes and she gives in, letting her body relax. "Do you have enough to get by? Please, be honest with me so I can help you out. Alright?"

You smile back at her and nod. "I have enough now. I'm pretty sure I can get by with a regular schedule again."

"With weekends off?"

"With weekends off."

Her smile grows and she unlocks the car, allowing you to step out. "Be careful out there, alright? Just make sure to call me and I'll head back here straight away if anything strange comes up."

"Thank you, auntie. So I'll pick up Frisk at five?"

"Oh, there's no rush. You can always stay the night, anyway!"

After a nod, you get down from the car, open the back door, and climb onto the empty seat left next to Frisk. 

"See you later, dear." 

You kiss their cheek and look at the phone resting in their hands. There were plenty of questions you wanted to ask them, such as who was Alphys and how she'd gained enough knowledge to develop something with that level of technology, and why it still worked up here despite being programmed to function at the Underground. You remind yourself of the people waiting for you at the train station and wrestle those curiosities down, setting all questions aside for later. "Be good, okay?"

They nod, sign a "Love you!" with their hand, and hold you back to give you a yellow sticky note, folded in two. "Give this to him. And don't forget he can be unexpected sometimes!"

You sign an "I love you, too" back to them, take the note, and step out of the car, waving at them and your aunt before closing the door and pocketing the note away. It stays unread, and while you'd like to know what's written on it as well as the reasons for Frisk warning you about meeting with that monster in particular, they'd specified it was for more sillier reasons, like that of meeting up with a stand up comedian, or more frankly put: a clown or a court jester.

Now alone, you take out your phone and check the messages, a new one from 'Mister Serif' showing up.

hey, uh…

tori hadda go.

an emergency happened, so now she's gotta rush off to the department to see what's up with some documents she turned in.

i know this seems sus as hell, so just wait for me at a more open area, alright?

stick to anybody you're comfortable with and we'll meet there.

I'm honestly touched at how much you're worried about this.

Though all that just makes me think I'm being catfished even more now.

Are you for real, mister Serif?

Can someone be as observant and thoughtful as you appear to be?

see for yourself.

>> Attachment - 1 image

You can't avoid being taken aback when the monster sends you a picture of himself. It's a definite recent one, given he's sitting by a bench close to the train tracks. He holds up a shaka sign with one hand and a coffee cup on the other. A grin decorates his face and the bright lighting shows the picture was taken just now, sun rays piercing through the windows.

I'm somewhat convinced.

need more proof?

Who are you, my Cinder match?

if u wanna.

Oh God.

You're killing me.

inna good way?

Perhaps.

You stop yourself when you realize you're on the verge of flirting with someone you haven't even met in person yet, let alone introduce yourself properly to. The picture he'd sent doesn't help either, as you can only begin to question yourself and your morals over having found him attractive for a split second. While it could have just as easily been the surprise of him sending a picture out of nowhere, it could've also been how laid-back he seemed in that picture, striking a shaka sign that made him look just like a surfer dude and a coffee cup to contrast with that vibe, adding a spark of the typical college student you saw at campus, his hoodie and sneakers only adding to that feeling.

It's then that you realize something's off.

If he was holding a cup with one hand and a sign in the other…

Then who took the picture?

Though you're pretty sure you're overthinking the situation now, you're still better safe than sorry and take advantage of your recent fooling around with him to pass that worry off as a joke.

Wait a minute, mister Serif.

yeah?

If you're holding a cup with one hand and striking a pose with the other, then who took the picture?

Or did you use your magic for that?

a random dude who looked trustworthy enough took it for me.

he's one of those guys who're totally ok with us living here at the surface, so he just snapped the picture for me and even asked if it was for a date i was gonna meet and all.

no magic needed.

And I'm the President of the United States.

But, seriously now…

Are you for real?

yeah.

>> Attachment - 1 image

The picture displays him with a bearded, brown skinned man clad in a suit and holding a suitcase, looking ready for work. Still, his smile shows little to no seriousness and instead displays youth and content over having his picture taken with a potential friend. His height surpasses the monster's by half a foot, though when you compare it to the rest of the people in the background, it's clear Serif is simply shorter compared to the average human. You try not to let your eyes linger too much on the monster when you're done looking at the man, not wanting to fall into the trap of your mind having found him attractive earlier ago. Still, you can't help yourself and take a more thorough look at him again, seeing him now with his eye sockets closed, almost mimicking a pair of eyelids squinting in joy. His arm's hung over the man's shoulders, and vice-versa. 

i made a new pal.

"meet up already!" - his words, not mine.

Trying to be smooth, huh?

maybe.

is it working?

Somewhat.

But...

Strange Cinder date vibes aside,

I'm almost there.

aight.

can't wait to meet ya, bud.

You slip the phone back in your pocket and go up the stairs of the train station, stopping when you make it to the line of benches close to the tracks. True to his word, the skeleton sits on one of them and the man who'd taken a picture with him is now waving at him, seemingly saying his goodbyes and headed off to work. You approach the station one careful step after the other, pace slowing down more and more as you feel a sudden awkwardness slip on your shoulders.

Your texts sent off vibes you didn't want present now that you were about to meet him in person. You were still worried about what happened with Frisk a few days ago, and how their happiness pretty much froze when being asked if the monsters had treated them well during their time at the Underground. The one you were about to meet could very well be one of those who'd hurt them, so you brace yourself and try not to be swayed by the softer atmosphere present during your texting with him. You acknowledge the man who'd taken his picture with a wave and a smile back at him. Then, you continue walking and finally approach the bench.

"It's nice to meet you, mister Serif." You acknowledge him with a wave, unsure of how friendly you can be with him.

"Likewise, pal." He holds a hand out to you, bringing forth the warning Frisk had given to you about him.

Out of all the things Frisk had warned you about, it was to be careful around the skeleton, but primarily due to how he seemed to be the type to joke around and prank people often. One thing in particular you were warned about was in shaking hands with him, so right as he offers his hand out to you and just as you're about to reach out, you miss his hand, take a step closer, and pull him along for a hug instead. You then unfold the sticky note and press it against his back with enough pressure for him to feel it and let go when you're done.

"Frisk warned me about you, and even though they haven't told me anything I should be worrying about yet, I do know I should be careful for other reasons. And they told me to give that note to you, by the way."

You sit down and watch as the monster attempts to get the sticky note unstuck, his short height proving to be a disadvantage, as it also comes with shorter arms. He goes as far as to use his magic to get it out, leaving you to bite back a smile and wonder if you've been too rude with him just now. Still, you wait and keep your eyes on the train tracks while he reads the note you've left for him.

"Not gonna say anything about it?" you ask, surprised to hear nothing from him even as he slips the note in his pocket.

"Patience, pal," he replies, words followed with a chuckle and continued with a wink. "Just take it as some friendly payback on my part -- Now we're even." He sits back down and meets with your eyes, his expression changing from humoured to stern at the drop of a hat. "So, what you're sayin' here is the kid hasn't said much about me yet?"

"No," you reply, hesitating. You fight between keeping a smile and a frown. "They've been awfully quiet after I asked them if there were any people down there who treated them badly." You catch yourself becoming emotional, so you breathe and blink a few times to fight that back. "It...  It feels like they shut themselves away from me, and now I'm not too sure about how to approach the situation anymore." You stop to catch your breath again, feeling yourself grow anxious already. "They can talk non-stop when it's about all the good things Toriel, Alphys, Papyrus, and… And even what you did for them, but whenever I ask if there was anything that made them feel unsafe, they… They bottle up and run off to do whatever chore there's left to do around the house."

A gust of wind helps freshen up your burning face, product of a train stopping nearby. You wait for him to speak up, body tensed all the while.

"Y'know, I…" The monster sighs, faces down, and rubs the back of his neck, looking lost in thought. "I think I can answer that for ya, but it's gonna be a bit of a long story." He glances at his phone for a moment, seemingly to check the time, and later adds, "Wanna head out somewhere to eat? We can talk about it there over food and drinks. Better than talkin' on an empty stomach, don't you think?"

Despite how somber the mood's become, that trademark grin of his you've already grown used to seems to stand out a lot more now, bringing forth a genuine, welcoming expression in addition to the offer he'd made to you. "Sure," you reply, smile returning. "And... Sorry for dumping all that on you all of a sudden."

You both stand up and make your way out of the station, walking side by side as you continue with the conversation. 

"It's cool, pal," he says. "I'd be a lot more worried if you didn't worry about it."

So here's to hoping this is one of three stories that I update today. I am going out of town for the 4th of July. My dad does this huge BBQ thing every year and I love to just go because it gets me to relax. Plus I want to just get away from California for a few days. I am under a lot of Stress and because of that I am doing edibles a bit more. Thus knocks my ass out which is why I lack in Updates. I apologize for that guys I don't mean to do that to you. You guys are awesome supporters and seriously thank you!

[couplesinstitutecounseling]

Has your spouse cheated on you?

…a starting point for overcoming the pain of infidelity.

Holy #@%!, I don’t need to tell you about the anguish you’re going through if you’ve discovered your partner cheated.

Most couples don’t have a “no cheat” agreement. It is simply assumed you won’t lie about who you are with and what you are doing.

The discovery feels like getting hit in the stomach by a cinder block flying at the speed of sound.

Suddenly it feels like your relationship was built on a pile of broken stones.

What’s real? What can you believe? You wonder if you are crazy. (You’re not.) You wonder if you should stay or go. You contemplate the painful uncertainties of any decision you make.

It takes a lot of difficult, awkward, challenging and illuminating discussions to sort out your individual and mutual values, interests, priorities and concerns.

But you have no chance of getting through this together if you don’t work together – as a team.

That’s right. This is a mutual reconstruction process.

a special message to the betrayed partner

You are going to have some tough sledding in front of you. Duh. And I am going to add to it. But my words will make things clearer sooner rather than later.

Here’s what I mean.

You will be asking tough and uncomfortable questions. And a part of your brain will be automatically scanning for the honesty and accuracy of your partner’s replies.

All it takes is a whiff of inconsistency or shading the truth, and you will be revisited by the cinder block.

And then you will be sorely tempted to attack the “lie.”

I understand the urge to attack. It is almost impossible to squelch it.

But you must refrain. Here’s why.

The attack will just drive your partner deeper into emotional hiding.

Which gives you more reason to attack – or retreat.

The wedge between you will grow even larger than before the discovery.

What I am going to suggest isn’t fair. But it gives you the best possible shot at a better future.

Whenever you ask troubling questions preface them by saying:

I know it won’t be easy to be honest to me, but I would like to know about _______and that is important to me because ________.

I promise not to attack your responses because that will make it even more difficult for you to be candid. It won’t be easy for me to avoid criticizing a response that seems only partially honest but I will do my best because we both have to be more candid about our perceptions, attitudes, hopes and fears.

We will have to get through this together or we will continue to suffer alone.

If a part of me suspects you are not being totally candid I will say, “I am having a hard time believing X part of what you are saying. If there was something you left out please try again and I will not attack what you say, thought or did. We have to get through this together.”

The big challenge for you is to avoid criticizing what you hear. It is not easy. It is not simple. It is not enjoyable.

But you seek honesty and clarity, and this will help you find it.

I’m not going to sugar coat it. The amount of repair work is huge.

But sometimes affairs are a wake-up call, a chance to reverse a bad direction or improve something that could be better. By using your head and your heart you stack the odds in favor of getting stronger.

Two books by Janis Spring “After the Affair: Healing the Pain and Rebuilding Trust When a Partner Has Been Unfaithful, 2nd Edition” and “How Can I Forgive You?: The Courage to Forgive, the Freedom Not To” are excellent guides for this rocky journey.

Next time a bit of advice for the betrayer. Read the second blog in this series.

Let us know – are you ready to take this first step?

We help couples struggling with cheating partners in Menlo Park, San Francisco, San Mateo, Redwood City, San Jose, Campbell and the surrounding areas.

If he’s been pulling the strings this whole time, why did he bother making Star Killer Base after the first two Death Stars failed the exact same way?  A fleet of super laser star destroyers is objectively better and more useful.

Why did he build all the Death Star Destroyers on a planet they can’t leave by themselves?

Why can’t they navigate away from the planet without a radio tower?

When they turn off the radio tower, the head ship of the fleet is able to navigate for them anyway, so why can’t they all just do that and navigate for themselves?

What happened to the one Death Star Destroyer that blew up that random planet?  Did it return to get stuck with the rest of fleet on the planet, or is it still out on the galaxy?

Why did none of the fleet escape the planet during the battle?  Surely one or two or ten could have managed to navigate away (Poe says they couldn’t tell which was was up due to the magnetic field of the Sith planet, but, like, up is up, the sky is up, it’s really easy to fly up and away from a planet, just point your engines towards it and turn them on; ALSO a billion rebel ships made it all the way to said planet, so why couldn’t a single Sith ship leave it?)

When did Palpatine have a son?  With who?

Why was his son a “nobody” instead of the heir apparent to the Empire?

Was his son part of the Rebellion?  The Resistance?  Neither?  Rey was born in 15 BBY and her parents disappeared like 10-ish years later, but her dad is clearly older than 25, so he must have been born between Episodes 3 and 4.

Was he force sensitive too?  Why did Palpatine have his son killed and keep searching for his granddaughter instead?  Wouldn’t his son still be a valuable asset?  Rey’s mom told the random Sith assassin that Rey is definitely not on Jakku, so why didn’t Palpatine look on Jakku?

Who was Lor San Tekka in the Force Awakens?  Did he know who Rey was and guard over her like Obi Wan did to Luke?  Kylo has apparently known him for a long time (”look how old you’ve become”), so did he know Luke and Leia during the original trilogy?  Did he know Palpatine’s son?

In the books and video games, it is revealed that Palpatine sabotaged the Emprie after his death (search “the Contingency” and “Operation: Cinder” on Wookieepedia)  Why?  Why did he do this?  Why did he cripple his empire if he survived and continued pulling strings behind the scenes?  Is it because Disney is making this up as they go along and forgot to reconcile their new idea with their old idea from a few years ago?

Luke says that Leia knew Rey was a Palpatine the whole time, so did Luke know about her dad?  Did he ever try to recruit the son of the Emperor to the light side of the force, or did he just reject his dad because he was a million year old evil scrotum?

Palpatine says he impersonated Vader to try and lure Ben Solo to the dark side.  If Palpatine pretended to be Darth Vader, why didn’t the real ghost of Anakin come to his grandson and intervene?  Why did Anakin let Ben think he was evil?  Anakin appeared before Luke at the end of ‘Return of the Jedi,’ he appeared to Rey in this film as a disembodied voice, why didn’t he appear to his own grandson?

Palpatine created Snoke; was Snoke the product of his “Darth-Plagueis-midichlorian-create-life-using-the-force” technique he hinted about in that meme everyone has stopped caring about Episode 3?  If Anakin is Space Jesus (virgin-born chosen one), does that make Snoke the Space Anti-Christ?  If so, why did Snoke die like a bitch?

Darth Maul got cut in half but came back in the cartoon with robot legs and this was carried over into canon when Disney took over, so he showed up in another cartoon and then Solo; could Snoke have come back with robot legs?

Rey impales Kylo but then force-heals him; why didn’t Obi Wan force-heal Qui Gon Jinn after Darth Maul impaled him?  Disney just keeps making things up with no regard for continuity because they know the average consumer doesn’t care and that the opinions of butt hurt fanboys like me don’t matter because we keep shelling out money to see the franchise no matter how much we nitpick and complain...

Poe’s parents were part of the rebellion and Leia is a surrogate mom to him; at what point did he become a drug dealer spice smuggler for the criminal underground?  Did he leave the resistance to become a scoundrel then come back, or was he raised a scoundrel and then joined the good side because he was compelled to do so?  If the latter, doesn’t that just give him the exact same story arc as Han Solo in both Solo and A New Hope?

Where did the berries go after Kylo Ren spilled them in his room?  They show the audience that Rey’s and Kylo’s surroundings are linked when they have their dates visions, but the berries are gone in the next shot.  Also, did he leave Darth Vader’s helmet down in the village after Rey accidentally teleported it to him, or did he bring it back with him?  He was able to snatch the necklace AND the lightsaber from Rey through these visions, so the berries and the helmet were real and not just force projections.  (this one is a joke, I don’t really care)

Is Finn secretly force sensitive too?  I’d be totally down for that; I’ve wanted that ever since 2015 when we saw the first teaser of him holding a lightsaber!  He sensed Rey was hurt AND knew exactly what ship to attack because he “had a feeling.”  Is this going to go anywhere, or was it just a plot device so he could find the one ship he needed out of the entire fleet?

Where was Lando for the last 10-15 years (however long it was since Kylo’s fall and Luke’s exile)?  Where was Wedge Antilles who appeared in exactly one shot and then never again?  Where was Nien Nunb and why hasn’t his name ever been said on screen?  Speaking of names, I think Poe was the first person to ever actually say Snap Wexley’s name on screen, but even then only his nickname and not until he was shot out of the air and exploded.

Why did Zorri Bliss change her mind to much?  First she wants to kill Poe and sell out his friends, then she wants to run away with him and gives him her MacGuffin so he can slip onto the enemy ship, then she saves his ass during the final battle, then when he gives her the bedroom eyes she shakes her head to turn him down.  Why is she here?

How did Maz Kanata get Luke’s lightsaber?  How does Rey have the lightsaber after it was destroyed in The Last Jedi?  Canon nerd tech manuals say that kyber crystals are super important and that broken ones don’t work right (Kylo’s blade is all fizzly because his crystal is cracked), so how did Rey repair it?  Where did Rey get the crystal for her yellow saber?  I heard someone say that it’s actually white and it’s supposed to be a combination of the classic blue, green and red saber colors, but she didn’t have Luke’s green saber, she had two blue sabers and Kylo threw his red one away.

And most importantly

Where is Baby Yoda?  Surely he has to be Little Kid Yoda by now; it’s been like 20 years since the events of The Mandalorian.

I don’t even enjoy this franchise anymore.  I know my opinion doesn’t matter, so I’m just gonna stop giving it.  I’m done with Star Wars media.  I’m not gonna watch it anymore; no anthology films, no more saga episodes (because we all KNOW x, xi and xii are in the works no matter what Disney says), no streaming service shows, no cartoons, no books, no video games (I never played the video games anyway), no theme park rides, no more moichendising
