a/n: hi tysm for requesting!! i hope u enjoy this silly lil joong scenario hehehe ^^ (this is the most dramatic i could make him jsksk) joongie here is kinda based on that clip of him calling his mom abt the rainbow sherbet thing iykyk

* reblogs and feedbacks are highly appreciated!

"For the nth time, no!"

Silence meets your sudden exclamation, and for a moment there, you thought it would stay that way.

You really hoped it would.

But your boyfriend just happened to be a certain someone named Kim Hongjoong.

"But why?!" Hongjoong whines, and he makes it a point to say it near your ear because he knows very well how much you hate it when he exactly does that.

And right now, you do—hate him.

You turn your head from left to right, trying to see if anybody happened to pass by the hallway and witness Hongjoong throwing tantrums like a five-year-old kid beside you.

The both of you are currently at the hospital you frequent every month for your regular health check up. And even if you've been doing this for quite a long time already, Hongjoong's still not friends with syringes with needles on it, especially if it pokes on his skin.

"Well, first of all, our turn is near, and second, your hands are so clammy, Joong! How'd you expect me to hold that thing?"

Wrong move clearly, because the second those words left your mouth, Hongjoong's mouth forms into a big letter O, and elicits a loud gasp.

"That thing? That thing?!" Hongjoong's voice rises up a notch that you basically had to move closer to him and cover his mouth. However, one of his hands flies on top of yours in an attempt to pry it away from his mouth—and yes, they're sweaty alright.

"My mom will hear about this! And trust me she won't be happy, nu-uh." Hongjoong says, scoffing every now and then while he fishes out his phone from his pocket. And because you know him so well, you stop him from actually calling his mom for this and do what he's been demanding—more like whining—from you ever since the nurse announced that the doctor will be meeting you both soon.

Hongjoong is a huge tattletale but you love him for what he is so…

"There, I finally held your hand, Joong. I hope you stop being a brat now or I will literally-"

"No, you won't. You love me too much! And didn't you say that you'll protect me from everything?" He retorts with a smug look evident on his face.

"That…that's unfortunately true," You answer with a sigh, never letting your hand slip away from his sweaty ones. Not that Hongjoong's giving you much of a choice with his tight grip on you really.

Solar Opposites: Mighty Solars The Movie Ch. 12

Meanwhile, on the Silver Cop planet, Maverick was checking on Earth. Until he saw the video of the Mighty Solars that made him growl.

Maverick: I thought we got rid of them! presses an announcement microphone Bullet, Zelda, Loo-Loo, Aqua! Come!

Bullet, Zelda, Loo-Loo, and Aqua enter.

Zelda: Yes sir?

Maverick: Those Earthlings are still alive!

Bullet: What?! Where are they?!

Maverick: Earth-4!

Maverick shows the location as they give corrupted Silver Cops growl and prepares to take off.

Maverick: This time… these earthlings are ours!

Loo-Loo: Time to kick ass!

Meanwhile, Louise is making cakes. Until suddenly, he hears the Silver Bullets from the communicators. Evil Terry sees her and watches her while Dr. Weatherstone approaches her.

Zelda:*communicator Everyone knows the plan? Right?

Aqua: Yeah. We destroy everyone.

Louise: What?

Louise picks up the telephone and gasp as he listens closely with Trevor and Weatherstone.

Maverick: communicator Good. Make sure no one stands in our way. And if the Mighty Solars come, wipe them out.

Zelda: Yes, sir.

Louise drops the communicator as Evil Terry comes in.

Evil Terry: What’s going on?

Alice comes in in her normal formal clothes.

Alice: What’s the problem? What did I miss?

Louise: The Silver Cops are after the Mighty Solars!

Evil Terry: What? You mean the corrupted force from outer space? We gotta stop them.

Alice: Huh?

Dr. Weatherstone: But how?

Suddenly, the new human members of the Mighty Solars show up.

Evil Terry: Whoa.

Principal Cooke/???: Need our help?

Later at school, Human Yumyulack, Human Jesse and Sonya were about to head home until, they heard a crash.

Human Yumyulack: Holy shit. What was that?

Sonya: I don’t know. But this sounds like trouble?

Human Jesse: Come siblings! We got work to do! Stacy G! Mark! Come with us!

Mark Melner: Okay!

Stacy G: comes in gasping in joy M’lady! It is my honor! salutes

Human Jesse giggles. The three siblings head to the restroom. Yumyulack and Jesse turn back into their normal Shlorpian selves and the three sibkings turn into their Mighty Solars forms and flies off while carrying Mark and Stacy G. Meanwhile, Nova is eating a takeout until she sees the news.

New Reporter: Without police to stop the Silver Cops after being molded by platinum silver, we are begging you, Mighty Solars! Where are you?!

Nova looks at her glasses and puts them on as she transforms into her super suit and flies off. Later, Bullet and Loo-Loo are at an abandoned warehouse, until Randall, Kevin, Darcy, Jamie and Sherbet arrives with Alice.

Randall/???: Hey!

Bullet and Loo-Loo turns around and sees the quartet with Alice.

Bullet: Who the fuck are you guys?!

Jamie/???: Call me Firewall! lits up

Firewall does his own super hero pose as he hits Loo-Loo with fire. Loo-Loo laughs crazy as she speeds up to him, only to be shot by Darcy’s star powers.

Darcy/???: Sonar Woman is lighting up the stars!

Sonar Woman does her own pose and throws Loo-Loo to Kevin, who now goes by Balanight and throws her to her wall as canisters fall on her as she screams. Miss Frankie uses her claws to attack Loo-Loo.

Loo-Loo: Got you- gets stabbed and bleed to death by Miss Frankie’s claws and thrown to the canisters as the canisters explodes on her corpse

Bullet: LOO-LOO!

Bullet roars in fury, only for a pair of jellybeans to throw on them as they exploded thanks to Sherbet.

Sherbet/???: You have tasted the sweetest wrath of… Fizziepop!

Fizziepop does her own superhero pose. Bullet growls and tries to harm her, only be thrown by Nova after she bust in here.

Sherbet/Fizziepop: Nova?

Nova/???: Hey Sherbet! Stay away from her!

Bullet: Why you?!

Nova attacks Bullet. Then, Nova grabs Bullet and throws him, then Bullet gets sucker punched by Randall, who creates a black hole tornado that twirls Bullet around as he screams. Then Bullet falls to the ground as he growls at Randall.

Randall/???: Taste the black magic of… Blackhole!

Bullet charges at Blackhole, causing Blackhole to let out a girly scream

Janice: offscreen RANDALL!

Bullet turns and sees Janice as Blackhole looks lovingly at her while romantic music plays on the background.

Randall/Blackhole: to himself quietly I think I’m in love…

Bullet: What you gonna hurt me?! charges at Janice

Janice shrieks but then suddenly teleports as Bullet misses her.

Janice: Woah…

Bullet: What?! How?!

Janice feels confident and lets her hair down. Janice then teleports again and punches Bullet in the face while Blackhole makes another black hole.

Bullet: What the fuck?

Blackhole blushes at Janice with her hair down. The Blackhole opens a pile of arrows that stabbed Bullet’s legs as he falls to the ground.

Nova/???: Give it up Bullet! You can’t win!

Bullet: I am never going back to prison! If I am going down… YOU’RE COMING WITH ME!

Bullet stomps his foot as the building falls to the ground but then a boulder falls and it crushes Bullet to death as he screams.

Randall/Blackhole: Let’s get the fuck outta here guys!

Firewall, Sonar Woman, Balanight Blackhole, Fizziepop, Miss Frankie Nova and Janice escape the building as it collapse. Sherbet then hugs Nova.

Sherbet/Fizziepop: Thanks for coming for me Nova. If I had a family with a super powered mom, that would be amazing.

Nova grows concern as Fizziepop flies to meet up with the others.

Nova/???: What does Sherbet mean by if she has a family!

Darcy/Sonar Woman: Oh she’s an orphan.

Nova/???: Orphan?!

The scene then cuts to Vil-Gil-An-T, Fung-irl, Nighthowler, Cooke, Ms. Perez and Mia meeting up with Trevor, Louise and Alice. The two hooded figures watch from behind.

Jesse/Fung-irl: Where’s Evil Terry? I thought he was with you guys.

Principal Cooke/???: He and Dr. Weatherstone are on their way to stop Bullet!

Ms. Perez/???: Right now, let’s focus on-

Then suddenly, Zelda and Aqua appear as they stomp on the ground. Pupa heard the commotion and transforms into Mighty Pupa as he flies over to help his siblings and friends. Meanwhile, Korvo is busy fixing something until he starts coughing.

Korvo: coughing

Terry: Korvy? What’s wrong?

Korvo suddenly coughs out blood.

Terry: Oh no. You should rest honey. Korvo nods I’m sure the kids will figure out what’s wrong.

Korvo keeps coughing. Black Mirror sees him and grows amazed. She then flies off while “Don’t Tell Me” from Disturbed ft. Ann Willis plays in the background.

Sister Sisto/Black Mirror: Perfect timing.

Black Mirror sees a witch’s tent and flies in and sees Marissa.

Marissa: To what thy owe the honor of this visit?

Sister Sisto/Black Mirror: I need a potion.

Marissa: What’s the occasion?

Black Mirror chuckles evilly.

Sister Sisto/Black Mirror: Do you have one based on Mundanes?

Marisa gasp.

Marisa: Why yes? Which kind?

Black Mirror chuckles evilly.

Sister Sisto/Black Mirror: Let’s just say…. Mega.

We then cut to Evil Terry and Dr. Weatherstone.

Dr. Weatherstone/???: See him?

The camera then shows Weatherstone suddenly in her own suit.

Evil Terry: Don’t worry. Not yet. But eventually.

Dr. Weatherstone smiles making Evil Terry blush.

Dr. Weatherstone/???: Thanks for me saving me…

Evil Terry: Anytime, beautiful.

Dr. Weatherstone blushes. The scene then cuts to Zelda and Aqua getting ready to fight with Vil-Gil-An-T, Fung-irl, Nighthowler, Cooke, Ms. Perez and Mia. Alice looks back n forth nervously while Trevor and Louise watches in worry.

Zelda: Prepare to die!

Yumyulack/Vil-Gil-An-T: In your dreams! Cooke?!

Principal Cooke/???: On it and call me Trailblazer!

Trailblazer does his own pose as he blazed and punches Aqua.

Ms. Perez/???: Alright! My turn!

Mia/???: watches as Perez flies off to help Trailblazer I am so in love…

Ms. Perez uses her fire powers but Aqua evaporates the blast with her water powers as she snarls.

Yumyulack/Vil-Gil-An-T: Eat this!

Vil-Gil-An-T uses his laser eyes as Zelda leaps up and uses her powers. Luckily, and suddenly, Nighthowler’s arm starts glowing digitally and cyber as her arms suddenly stretch and she grabs her brother and puts him down after the fireballs miss.

Zelda: You think that can stop me? You’re pathetic. And your family is pathetic.

Sonya/Nighthowler: gasp in joy Guys! I have elasticity in my arms!

Jesse/Fung/irl: Great job sis’ now let’s take care of this pest!

Mighty Pupa flies down meets up with his siblings. The hooded figures watches form behind.

??? #2: Is that…Yumyulack?

The hooded figure gasp as she looks at Vil-Gil-An-T. Then, she looks at Fung-irl, Nighthowler and Mighty Pupa.

??? #1: I got this. Stay here.

??? #2: Okay.

The hooded figure walks up to them and removes their hood to reveal… But then she got hit by Aqua before she could reveal herself. Mia gasp and uses her x-ray and gets out a bazooka as she fires a middle at it.

Aqua: Grrr! You bitch!

Mia/???: Let’s just say. I’m a Navigator!

Zelda: You’ll never defeat the Silver Cops!

Navigator does her own pose and Ms. Perez meets up with her with Trailblazer.

Ms. Perez/???: Looking good!

Mia/Navigator: blushes Thanks. Take it from here… Core Burn!

Aqua: Wait. Who is Core Burn?

Ms. Perez/Core Burn: Me!

Core Burn does her own super hero pose as she blast Aqua with her powers. Alice and Trevor gets excited, but then Trevor sees a green glow next to him.

Trevor: Wow. You’re glowing.

It turns out be from Louise.

Louise: Thank you.

Trevor: No no no! Louise! You are really glowing! You’re green!

Louise looks around her body and gasp. She then suddenly starts growing a bit bigger and muscular as her skin suddenly became green magma lava.

Louise: Oh no… grows a little as her clothes make a tear with a suit underneath it Trevor?

As Louise finishes growing a bit bigger and muscular, her clothes tear up and it becomes a suit. Alice gasps.

Trevor: What’s going on?! What’s happening?

Louise/???: I think I’m turning into a lava lamp!

Suddenly, Louise shoots green lava at Zelda who ducks. Then suddenly, Alice screams and accidentally shoots a red electric arachnid web that ends up tying up Aqua.

Alice: What the hell?

Zelda growls and punches Vil-Gil-An-T to the ground. Mark and Stacy G gasp while peeking through the wall.

Mark: Yumyulack!

Jesse/Fung-irl: Bro!

Pupa/Mighty Pupa and Sonya/Nighthowler: Yumyulack!

Vil-Gil-An-T growls as he stands up.

Zelda: Got you now, Qausarblast Jr.!

Zelda grabs Vil-Gil-An-T by the throat as he grunts.

Yumyulack/Vil-Gil-An-T: Let! Me! GO!

Zelda: laughs evilly This fight is cute and all, but it’s time to die, just like the rest of them!

Fung-irl tries to save her brother but gets grabbed by Aqua.

Jesse/Fung-irl: Yumyulack!

Aqua: Shut it, you brat!

The hooded figure gasp as her eyes glow icy pink and the hood tears apart into pieces in a bright icy pink light. Then suddenly, just before Zelda could finish her off, a huge black muscular hand with icy pink tips on the finger tips punches her in the face as she lets go of Vil-Gil-An-T.

Sonya/Nighthowler: Whoa!

Pupa/Mighty Pupa: Oooh!

Vil-Gil-An-T then falls into someone’s arms and gasp upon seeing something unbelievable. Vil-Gil-An-T turns around to see…

Yumyulack/Vil-Gil-An-T: Aunt Janiz?

Jesse/Fung-irl, Pupa/Mighty Pupa and Sonya/Nighthowler: gasp

Super Shlorpian Janiz: Hey, kiddo? Miss me?

The other heroes came and gasp once they see something shocking while the second hooded figure removes her hood and reveals herself to be Kimber. To their suprise, Janiz is a Super Shlorpian, but bigger, muscular and black.

Ms. Perez/Core Burn: Who is this woman?

Yumyulack/Vil-Gil-An-T: She’s my aunt.

The Others: WHAT?!

Super Shlorpian Janiz: Sorry I was late honey.

Sonya/Nighthowler: Who’s this woman?

Super Shlorpian Janiz: pointing to Sonya Who’s that little girl?

Jesse/Fung-irl: Oh that’s our new human sister. Sonya.

Super Shlorpian Janiz: Well, hey there, little lady.

Sonya/Nighthowler: giggles I never had an aunt before!

Super Shlorpian Janiz: And I never had a human niece before! gasp upon seeing Fung-irl and Mighty Pupa Oh my god! My beautiful niece and baby nephew! hugs them So nice to finally meet you!

Pupa/Mighty Pupa: Auntie!

Jesse/Fung-irl: squeals in joy I always wanted an aunt! hugs Super Shlorpian Janiz So nice to meet you!

They then hear Zelda groaning as she gets up.

Zelda: Ugh! Seriously, how many of you guys do I have to fight?!

Vil-Gil-An-T chuckles.

Super Shlorpian Janiz: Oh, I’m the only one who matters. You see, you mess with my nieces and nephews and now… I am going to fuck you!

Everyone stared with blank faces with crickets chirping in the background.

Miss Frankie/???: Huh?

Alice: Well this got interesting.

Yumyulack/Vil-Gil-An-T: Uh, it’s actually fuck you up, Aunt Janiz.

Super Shlorpian Janiz: Oops. Sorry honey. kiss Vil-Gil-An-T on the forehead

Zelda growls as she and Super Shlorpian Janiz starts fighting.

Super Shlorpian Janiz: laughs as she misses a fireball Miss me?! laughs as she fires her icy breath at Zelda Over here! flies up as Zelda growls; mimics foghorn noise Catch me if you can!

Jesse/Fung-irl: Wow! How cool is our aunt?!

Miss Frankie/???: Mega cool!

Super Shlorpian Janiz grabs Zelda as she struggles to break free.

Zelda: Grrr! You ice breathing motherfucker!

Super Shlorpian Janiz: Think fast!

Zelda snaps and fires down there as the kids fall. Luckily, Super Shlorpian Janiz caught them right on time.

Super Shlorpian Janiz: I got you kids.

Stacy G sits up from the blast, only to get a spike on her arm. Luckily, Stacy G took it out but suddenly, her arms starts turning into a body armor with spikes on them. Back with the kids and Janiz, they gasp upon seeing Zelda.

Yumyulack/Vil-Gil-An-T: Aunt Janiz! Look out!

Super Shlorpian Janiz gasp. But then suddenly, Vil-Gil-An-T’s eyes starts glowing purple.

Super Shlorpian Janiz: Yumyulack?

Sonya/Nighthowler: Are you okay bro?

Vil-Gil-An-T’s skin then turns black as he grows bigger and muscular as his horns and wings appear. His suit tears up as he roars and fires his ice breath at Zelda who falls down. Vil-Gil-An-T is now a Super Shlorpian.

Jesse/Fung-irl: gasp

Pupa/Mighty Pupa: Yumyulack!

Sonya/Nighthowler: Do something! Help Auntie Janiz! Our brother has turn into a monster! You have to help?

Super Shlorpian Janiz: Hey hey hey! It’s okay it’s first time! It runs in the family!

Jesse/Fung-irl: We know that! But how can we seal it away?!

Super Shlorpian Janiz: You can't! It's a life source. WIthout it, he'll die.

Jesse/Fung-irl, Sonya/Nighthowler and Pupa/Mighty Pupa: What?!

The aunt and nieces and nephews landed where Zelda struggles to get up.

Super Shlorpian Yumyulack/Vil-Gil-An-T: You come at me… and my family… don’t forget! punches Zelda numerous times You’re in my house!

Zelda gets knocked out. Super Shlorpian Yumyulack breathes in and out as Super Shlorpian Janiz calms him down. Then, Louise approaches her friends and daughter.

Stacy G: Mom?

Louise/???: Hey sweetie.

Ms. Perez/Core Burn: Damn Louise, what happened to you?

Louise/???: Don’t ask.

Super Shlorpian Janiz: How does mercy taste you little bitch?

Zelda: No. You don’t get to fucking end this. I’m a fucking silver cop! I’m the fucking silver bullet and y-you’re some fucking demon or something! We started everything on the Silver Cops. All of alien-kind came from these fucking nuts! You all should be facing mercy from us, you Disgraceful! Disgusting! Fucking! Losers!

Suddenly, some neon magenta spikes pop out of Zelda’s intensities as she screams.

Jesse/Fung-irl: Whoa!

Miss Frankie/???: Uh, you got something sticking out of your… your thing there.

Zelda falls as she finally dies and the spikes revealed to be from Stacy G.

Jesse/Fung-irl: Stacy G?!

Stacy G looks around and then her whole body becomes a body armor.

Stacy G: Wow!

Louise/???: Oh my God… honey! I am so so… proud of you! Come here! hugs Stacy G, who laughs

Super Shlorpian Janiz: Looking good, girl!

Aqua: NOOOOOOOOO! Zelda! Zelda! Stay with me, Zelda! Zelda!

Mia/Navigator: It’s over…

Super Shlorpian Janiz: Now take your little friends distorted AND GO HOME! normal voice Please.

Aqua: All Silver Cops! Fall back!

But, just before Aqua could escape, a huge H20 water plasma hand appears and grabs her as she falls to the ground. Then, a huge bell falls on Aqua who gasp and it crushes her. The others turn around and sees Trevor, now a walking water plasma. In his own superhero suit.

Trevor/???: Guys look! I’m a walking ball of water!

Louise/???: Trevor?

Trevor/???: What do you think baby?

Louise/???: smiles My hero…

Louise and Trevor kiss. Then, suddenly a magenta glow appears as it reveals to be Stacy G, now in her own suit.

Stacy G/???: Oh uh, this place could use less leaking.

Fung-irl gasp in joy as she embraces Stacy G. The two superhero girlfriends look at each other and then kiss just like Ember and Wade in Elemental.

Louise/???: I knew it! I knew it! My nose always nose! laughs

The heroes laugh, but Super Shlorpian Yumyulack tearfully embraces his aunt while Kimber comes out of hiding and smiles while another pink glow appears.

???: Can I come out now?

Super Shlorpian Janiz: Oh yeah. Come on out.

Then something appears magically alongside Kimber. Another pink AI assistant as she sings on a high note.

EVA: singing Hi!

Super Shlorpian Yumyulack: EVA?

AISHA appears with MAX and gasp.

AISHA: EVA?! tears of joy burst in her eyes

EVA: Hey, cuz!

AISHA laughs in tears of joy as she embraces her cousin. EVA then notices AISHA’s new Shlorpian body.

EVA: Woah! You look good!

AISHA: Thanks Cous. But come on, we have to help Evil Terry.

Back with Evil Terry and Maverick, the two are staring at each other at the edge of the cliff.

Maverick: Now come on. I am sorry. I should’ve never destroyed Earth. touches Evil Terry’s face You Shlorpians deserve better…. really evil and manipulative Idiot!

Maverick then pushes Evil Terry as he grunts at the edge of the cliff. Luckily, Weatherstone sees her signal and flies down there. The people gasp as the cops appear.

Maverick: He jump! Did you see?! He jump! He-he t-tried to drag me with him! He jump! He jump! He jump! groans He jump!

The cops handcuff him as Evil Terry, now going by the name Shifter, watches from up the building and smirks and leaves with Weatherstone. Later, at Janiz and Kimber’s place, it’s for the kids and their human friends to know.

AISHA: Guys, I am so sorry we haven’t been honest with you. There’s something you guys should know and you’re not gonna like it,

Miss Frankie/???: What is it?

Principal Cooke/Trailblazer: Yeah. Why are you guys here? How did you get there?!

Jesse/Fung-irl: And why did you say the Super Shlorpian is a life source?

Kimber: It’s a long story. But we have something to tell you and you’re not gonna like it.

MAX: Korvo is in grave danger!

The others gasp.

Cherry Smithers/???: What? What do you mean he is in danger?! What happened?!

AISHA: Kids, there’s something we need to tell you. The Super Shlorpian Korvo sealed away… is his life source.

Janiz sighs.

Super Shlorpian Janiz: It’s true. It is.

Kimber: Your father is dying. And without the spirit, he’s gonna die.

Fung-irl gasps as Vil-Gil-An-T tears up.

Sonya/Nighthowler: Dad! hugs AISHA

Pupa/Mighty Pupa: Papa…

Super Shlorpian Janiz: We’re so sorry we couldn’t tell you sooner…

Vil-Gil-An-Til starts sobbing hysterically. Janiz turns back into her normal Shlorpian self as she comforts Vil-Gil-An-T.

Janiz: I am so sorry...we didn't wanna tell you because Korvo was so happy...

The kids and the adults however understand deeply and approaches them while sheepishly smiling.

Kimber: You were also so happy when Sonya came and... we just couldn’t bare to break your hearts.

MAX: And I am probably guessing Korvo is scared too?

Yumyulack/Vil-Gil-An-T: sniffles Yeah I bet he was. Guess he was scared of releasing his own beast.

Others: Yeah. I agree. Poor Korvo…

Fung-irl suddenly looks determined.

Jesse/Fung-irl: Come on guys! The Mighty Solars doesn’t give up! They never ever give up! Look, whatever is happening… Cherie, Montez, Kevin’s wife and kids and Pezlie comes in We can still do this!

Miss Frankie sniffs and cries tears of joy.

Miss Frankie/???: sniffles She’s right guys…But Korvo is dying! We can’t be the Mighty Solars without him!

Janiz: Don't worry. All we have to do is put the spirit back in him!

Cherie: Guys! What’s going on?

Jesse/Fung-irl: Cherie! You’re here!

Fung-irl runs up and hugs Cherie and then tickles Pezlie who giggles.

Janiz: Oh friend of yours.

Yumyulack/Vil-Gil-An-T: Yeah...

Cherie: Why yes. And *refers Pezlie* Korvo and Terry’s goddaughter. Their nanny saved Nova’s life and ours.

Janiz: What? Oh my God, picked up Pezlie as she laughs Hi, I’m your godfather’s sister. So nice to meet you.

Pezlie coos as she touched Janiz’s face.

Janiz: She's so precious...

Cherie: Thank you! Wait, you’re Korvo’s sister.

Janiz: Yep.

Montez: We got the others’ text! What is it?!

Principal Cooke/Trailblazer: Korvo’s in trouble!

Janice: Big trouble!

Miss Frankie/???: He’s dying!

Kevin’s Wife: What? Kevin, what do you mean he’s dying?!

Janiz: He sealed away his Super Shlorpian spirit and now there's a high chance that he will die.

Cherie: What?! Oh no! We gotta save him!

Montez: We’re coming with you guys! We may not have powers! But the Solars have helped us throughout our lives and yours!

Janiz: Don't worry. I have the spirit right here.

Naomi: comes in with Alice We would love to join you.

Randall/Blackhole: Quick! Show us the spirit!

Janiz opens the box.

Others: Whoa!

Jesse/Fung-irl: Aw, it's so cute!

The spirit starts whimpering because he feels Korvo’s life source weakening, which the others identify. Janiz gasps.

Janiz: Oh no, I’m afraid Korvo is starting to run out of time! We must move! Quickly Mighty Solars!

The kids then grow determined along with their friends.

EVA: Count me in too! We are family too!

MAX: Count us in!

Kimber: Me too!

Jesse/Fung-irl: Mighty Solars, let's save Korvo!

Sonya/Nighthowler: And our homes!

Pupa/Mighty Pupa: Hooray!

Yumyulack/Vil-Gil-An-T: Mighty Solars! Move out!

Mighty Solars: Right!

Meanwhile, back with Korvo, he began to check on himself through a breather connected to machine.

Korvo: What is wrong with me?

He starts calculating on himself, until a huge electric spear breaks the labtop as he gasp. He turns around and sees Black Mirror as he turn into Quasarblast.

Korvo/Quasarblast: Get away from me or-

Quasarblast then keeps coughing out blood as Black Mirror pins him to the wall.

Sister Sisto/Black Mirror: Looks like someone is finally powerless.

Korvo/Quasarblast, What do you want?!

Sister Sisto/Black Mirror: Finally! I got you now Quasarblast! gets out the potion Now here is my deal. You need to live, right?

Korvo/Quasarblast: More than anything...I-

Sister Sisto/Black Mirror: Here is our deal! All you have to do is take this potion, and obey me now. Or, I’ll find a way to harm that fucking pathetic husband of yours, along with your four little brats, crazy hillbilly nanny of yours, those humans and your sister as well!

Quasarblast gasps.

Korvo/Quasarblast: What?! falls down No! Stop! Don’t hurt them!

Sister Sisto/Black Mirror: THEN DRINK THE POTION!

Korvo/Quasarblast: Just promise you won’t hurt my husband and kids! And my friends!

Sister Sisto/Black Mirror: Don’t worry… I won’t… because… opens the bottle…. YOU’RE MINE NOW!

Quasarblast takes the potion and chugs it down. But then, he starts growing bigger and muscular as his skin turns black. His suit rips apart into pieces as he cries out in pain. Black Mirror laughs like a maniac.

Korvo/Quasarblast: voice deepens as cyan marks appears around his body and he starts growing even more bigger and muscular as his eyes glow aquamarine WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?!

Sister Sisto/Black Mirror: Oh, nothing. I made you a better person.

Korvo/Quasarblast: TERRY! GGGGRRRRAAAAAAAH! TERRRRY!

Sister Sisto/Black Mirror: Oh quiet. He's not here to save you.

However, Terry and Phoebe hears Korvo screaming along with Parker and Monica as they head upstairs.

Parker: Korvo, what's- sees Mega Mundane Korvo and gasps

Mega Mundane Korvo roars tearfully as he whimpers in pain but is still dying.

Phoebe MacCarthy: Oh my God! Korvo!

Terry: Korvy...

Mega Mundane Korvo roars as he breaks down in tears and Black Mirror laughs evilly. Terry growls at Black Mirror and turns into Mighton.

Terry/Mighton: WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY HUSBAND?!

Sister Sisto: Oh cool your jets. He's just gonna die anyway. Move on.

Phoebe MacCarthy: What?! No! turns into Starburst We won’t let that happened! Reals him you crazy bitch!

Sister Sisto/Black Mirror: Make me.

Monica then turns into Lightspeed as she gets ready fight. Then suddenly, Parker presses something on a watch. She turns into her own cyber super suit as she smiles.

Parker/???: Don’t forget about Venus Tip!

Venus Tip does her own pose as she shoots cyber arrows out of her cyber crossbow.

Terry/Mighton: Nice suit Parker!

Parker/Venus Tip: Thanks.

Suddenly, Mega Mundane Korvo roars he destroys half of the house and Black Mirror gets on top of him while laughing evilly.

Sister Sisto/Black Mirror: See you never, Mighton!

Mighton watches tearfully as Mega Mundane Korvo runs off to the city. But, however, after looking at his family photo, Mighton refuses to back down and never give up for his husband.

Parker/Venus Tip: What do we do now Mighton?

Mighton wipes away his tears.

Terry/Mighton: eyes glow orange SAVE! skin turns black and he grows bigger and muscular as his suit tear MY! voice gets deeper HUSBAND!

Venus Tip gasps. Mighton turns into a Mundane and heroically roars. Mundane Mighton then growls in pleasure.

Mundane Terry/Mighton: Say… flexes his right arm as it glows orange marks This form ain’t half bad!

Starburst laughs.

Phoebe MacCarthy/Starburst: Wow! You got orange marks? What does that mean?

Mundane Terry/Mighton: It means I'm a MEGA MUNDANE, BABY!

Mundane Mighton then starts growing even more bigger and muscular as he moans in pleasure.

Mundane Terry/Mighton: OOOOOOOH YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEESS! IIIIIII FFFEEEEEEEEEL SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOD!

Phoebe/Starburst: Whoa.

An orange streak appears on Mighton’s back as he fully becomes a Mega Mundane and roars. Mega Mundane Mighton looks at his body and laughs.

Mega Mundane Terry/Mighton: Man… I feeel soooo fucking horny right now!

Jesse/Fung-irl: Terry!

Mega Mundane Mighton looks down and sees his kids and the other human Mighty Solars, along with AISHA, EVA, MAX, Kimber and Janiz.

Mega Mundane Terry/Mighton: Janiz? Kimber? EVA?

EVA: Hi Terry! So nice to finally meet you in person! Your husband mention to us about you!

Mega Mundane Terry blushes and smiles.

Kimber: Thank goodness we found you! We have to save your husband!

MAX: He’s gonna die!

Janiz: Terry! We have to put the spirit back into Korvo!

Mega Mundane Mighton gasps.

Mega Mundane Terry/Mighton: What?! Why?! Why does he need the spirit back?!

Janiz sighs

Janiz: Terry, it’s time we tell you.

Janiz turns into her Super Shlorpian form and flies to Terry sadly.

Mega Mundane Terry/Mighton: Whoa… you turn into big buffy Super Shlorpians?

Super Shlorpian Janiz: Yes and… our lifesource as well.

Mega Mundane Mighton gasps.

Mega Mundane Terry/Mighton: What?!

Vil-Gil-An-T sheds a tear.

Yumyulack/Vil-Gil-An-T: It’s true… Terry, Korvo is dying.

Kimber: Without the spirit, he’ll die! We gotta return it to him!

Mega Mundane Terry/Mighton: Shit...

Mega Mundane Mighton then sees Mega Mundane Korvo roaring. Despite the revelation, he is still determined to save his husband!

Mega Mundane Terry/Mighton: Well there’s no time to lose! Mighty Solars, let’s save my husband!

Mighty Solars: Yeah!

The heroes fly off heroically to the city as Super Shlorpian Janiz starts to grow amazed by Mighton’s bravery and humility.

Postwar TDS....Ruth and the dress shop she works in please and thank 💕

She gets home and knows she needs a job.

She did everything to get by in Atlantic City, waiting for Joe. Waiting tables, working in an automat, checking coats at a restaurant. All the other girls in the boarding house were war wives, too, waiting for husbands to get home, from the navy or the hospital or who knows where else.

They all talk about medals their husbands won, about battles. Ruth never tells them that she has battles and medals, too. Here she's just Mrs. Toye, from New York, waiting for Joe to finish his rehab. And they talk all the time about after - about houses, about babies, about the jobs their husbands are going to get when they get home. Drive a taxi, or work at the bank, or the factory, or the farm. None of them will work, it seems - they want that normal back, too.

Not Ruth. She has no idea what Joe's going to be able to do. But she knows what she can do, and if that's all they've got, then that's all they've got. She jumped out of airplanes and killed men and won Purple Hearts and she'll be damned if she has to make a man do all the work to keep them together. Why should she worry about the future - it's just borrowing trouble.

It's just by accident they all discover she can sew. Someone's sleeve nearly comes off before the in-laws are in town, and Ruth flies into action. You'd never know anything was wrong, the ladies all say. Better than it was before.

Suddenly everyone has mending to do, and Ruth lets the coat check job go so she can keep up - for a modest fee, of course. But she's still waiting tables and making sandwiches. A paycheck is a paycheck. Who can live on taking in mending?

Back in New York, there are always spots for waitresses. She takes the late shift at a diner down the street, fills in at the counter at a deli a couple of days a week. The old neighborhood doesn't quite welcome her back with open arms, but what was she expecting, marrying a Catholic? Joe keeps filing out job applications and she never says a word on her way to work. It'll work out, one day. It'll come.

One day there are two women at the deli counter, talking about how the seamstress down the street can't find good help - my dress for Georgie's bar mitzvah not done yet! But who else would I ask? Her daughter says she doesn't want the business, and the son in California! A shame.

She sees the shop on the way home - a little basement studio, the front window half-visible from the street. There's a dress in the window the color of orange sherbet, with a nice big bow on the front. I could do that, Ruth thinks. The bell over the door dings as she comes in - the only sound in the place. It feels like walking into an ambush. And Ruth knows she should be scared…but she's not. She's a long way past being scared of anything.

"I hear you're looking for help," she announces to the silver-haired woman behind the counter. "My name is Ruth Toye, and I can sew just about anything."

The woman raises an eyebrow at the name. "Toye sounds English," she says.

"And the Megillot says Ruth was a good daughter to her mother," Ruth says straight back in her best Yiddish. The seamstress doesn't seem to have an argument for that.

They agree on a time tomorrow morning. Ruth walks home feeling on top of the world, better than she's ever felt about sandwiches or slicing deli meat or bussing dishes.

It's something beautiful, she says. I want to put something beautiful into the world. She's still thinking about that dress, how it's ice cream and sunrises and fresh starts. It's late and she and Joe are lying in bed, listening to the traffic in the street outside, her leg hooked up over his side, one hand on his chest.

Like a baby, she adds, before she can stop herself. I want one of them, too.

Thoughts on the legendary cookies?

Okay, this has been in my inbox for a while, I might as well answer this now

I’m just gonna focus on the elemental Ovenbreak Legendaries, since that’s what I was thinking of. I’ll put my thoughts on the others at the end, but it probably won’t be as in depth

Fire Spirit Cookie:

So I got this ask back before Flames of Longing was announced, and I was going to to say that I don’t really care for Fire Spirit, as I know basically nothing about him, but then Flames of Longing came out, and I quite like him there. Yeah he’s a bit of a prideful bastard, but he’s got a heart, and I can’t help but like him.

His Cookie Trial is ass though, I’m so bad at it

Moonlight Cookie:

I also quite like Moonlight Cookie. Granted, I haven’t gotten close to getting through Episodes 15-16, as I’m stuck at the beginning, but from what I have seen from cutscenes and Crunchy Dreams, she seems neat. Hopefully with her (I think) joining the fight against Dark Enchantress Cookie, we’ll be able to see more of her. I’m curious what interactions between her and the Ancients would be like. Also I haven’t finished Odyssey so I don’t know how we got to the Gingerbrave group looking for Moonlight, but I can’t help but imagine Gingerbrave going up to the Ancients and being like “hey guys, I was able to recruit the powerful moon lady! Oh, and her ocean wife!” (I assume that Sea Fairy would probably join if Moonlight was there) while they’re just like “wait how”

But let me tell you, until I got her for myself, I feared her in Arena

Sea Fairy Cookie:

Now, I actually quite like Sea Fairy Cookie, she seems like a nice lady. I just wish I knew more about her. I mean yeah, I know stuff about her, like the Sugarteara stuff and her relationship with Moonlight, but my thing with her is that we don’t know much about her herself, or at least things that don’t relate to Moonlight

I like seamoon, it’s cute, but I feel like it’s one of those ships/relationships where while one of the characters is allowed to have arcs outside of the relationship and about them themselves, but the other is stuck having basically all of their character moments having to do with their relationship, like Jay/Nya from Ninjago and Moxxie/Millie from Helluva Boss. The things about Sea Fairy that we’ve seen, like the Tower of Frozen Waves and the Sacred Pearl, seem to all have to do with her longing for Moonlight Cookie, and it feels like this relationship just defines Sea Fairy. Which sucks because I want to know about Sea Fairy all on her own. She’s the only elemental legendary we’ve met where we don’t know their origin, and sure we know she’s cursed, but we know nothing about that curse. I want to know about her lore, but right now we just don’t have it. But I hope we get it at some point, and Sea Fairy isn’t just relegated to “pining for Moonlight”

Wind Archer Cookie:

I also like Wind Archer well enough, but I also feel like I don’t know much about him. From what I’ve seen (pretty much just he Sherbet story and Truth of the City), I like him, I just haven’t seen enough with him in it. Hopefully that gets rectified in Kingdom, at least assuming he doesn’t show up with Millennial Tree Cookie. Personally I’d like to see him show up in Beast Yeast and become a traveling companion of the Gingerbrave group. That’d be neat to see

Millennial Tree Cookie:

I quite like Millie, he seems very interesting. I feel like I don’t have much to say on him, but I am very curious to find out more about his lore, which I imagine we’ll get. Also I personally like to think that White Lily Cookie comes from his forest, so if that turns out to be true, we’d get some interesting interactions between him and Dark Enchantress. And possibly he could be a reason for White Lily existing outside of Dark Enchantresses, since I mean he is an ancient powerful being

Also I love his trial theme, it’s very relaxing to listen to

Also a random tidbit, but I keep thinking his voice sounds like the voice Charriii5 gave the N’rrgal leader in his EWW Sonic Chronicles video. I don’t know why

I was gonna just talk about the Ovenbreak elementals, but might as well mention Frost Queen too

Frost Queen Cookie:

I like her. I’ve heard people think she’s evil because of how she treats Sherbet’s fate, but like, it’s just a fact of life for her, it’s something she knows is inevitable, why wouldn’t she act like that? Also personally I see the Legendaries as not really being the same as normal Cookies, since they’re like higher beings, so you could see her apathy as having to do with her no longer being a “normal Cookie”, so to speak. And besides, she tells Cotton of a way to possibly save Sherbet, or at least prolong their time together.

But regardless, she seems cool.

Might as well include the other legendary Cookies

Dark Enchantress Cookie is probably my favorite legendary, if only because of her story and character in Kingdom. Her being White Lily really adds interesting depth to her character and I’m very interested to see how they conclude her story

Timekeeper is fine. Personally I don’t think I get the hype. I mean yeah, I know why the hype’s there, but I don’t think I personally feel it. Maybe I’d get it more if I watched their story

Similar feelings towards Black Pearl, where I like her well enough, I just don’t know much about her to really give thoughts, since I haven’t watched her story. Though my feeling towards her are also elevated probably because she’s been an integral part of my team in Kingdom

I like the dragons, though I don’t really know much about Ananas. Did they have a story segment? Because I haven’t seen it. I think in Ovenbreak, Pitaya is my favorite, though in Kingdom I don’t think I like them as much. Maybe it’s because in Ovenbreak they seem more amicable to Cookies, at least from what I’ve seen. But I’d say Longan is second place. I’m curious if they’ll ever add any more dragons (like the North and South Dragons), and if they do, maybe ones with a different theming. Like how the five we have are supposed to be tropical fruits, maybe we could have other dragons that have a different shared base. Though I wouldn’t mind more tropical fruit dragons

Anyways, yeah I think that’s about it

SUBMISSIONS WILL OPEN SOON

hi! I know this is probably un-needed and out of the blue. I finished the forms and I’d like to actually announce the final format of how this will work and submissions opening.

TL;DR for this message:

Submissions will open June 1st still, but I will be having several brackets for different genres. This is to reach as many audiences as possible and keep them as fair as possible. You may pick who you vote for however you please, but do NOT be negative towards others. ^^

Submissions:

On June 1st, the link to the forms will be uploaded here. The forms request the fics:

title

link

whether or not author has a tumblr

authors tumblr if so

reason you think this gif should be promoted

The forms also includes the rules:

no tcest

no explicit material

named author (no anon or orphaned fics, sorry!! Love you guys still but I want to give credit!)

For the layout of these brackets, I have 4 preset genres, but if you need to specify it is an option and I will give the verdict of the fics placement if it gets in one of the brackets. The genres are:

CURRENTLY RE-ARRANGING!! Send me asks w genres you’d like to see included!

We will also have the “authors notes”, which will be randomly appearing voting polls between fics. They can have cross-over genres, and include fics in the bracket and not! This is to squeeze as many fics as possible here. ^^ These authors notes will not affect the main brackets, they are just for some silly chaos thrown in.

This is included in the forms, but I would still like to say here and will probably make sure this is understood all throughout this blog:

this is not meant to be placing fics as “better” or “worse” than eachother. Each fic out there has admirable work put into them. Trying to rank them is NOT the goal here. The goal of these brackets is to promote fics that we enjoy and want to see get more attraction. It is for FUN, not COMPARISON. Voting will basically be upon whatever standards you use, but you will NOT antagonize fics and their authors that have left the bracket or that are still competing.

this is meant to be harmless fun, not a negative experience for others.

please stay civil and kind while here, otherwise you will not be allowed to interact. Thank you.

With the best of luck and wishes to all,

Sherbet.

2023 Cookie of the Year: Kingdom Edition

☁️ Heya! I’m sure you got the note my colleague Kit sent you and pinned at the top of the blog. She’ll be working her way into being part of our main contributor panel over the next couple months just as I and Strawberry Crepe Cookie have, which is how we ended up becoming frequent contributors on this blog. How she got into this is a long story, and one for another time. But moving on to the main topic here, it’s time to vote for 2023’s Cookie of the Year! In case you missed it last year like Vanilla Meringue Cookie (Your ACTUAL Editor, who also goes by Meringue) did, here’s how it works:

Every playable Cookie (minus the collaboration Cookies including Sonic, Tails, and BTS) in CRK will be split into a tournament bracket full of 1v1 matchups

In each matchup, pick the one you like more. There WILL be matchups where your vote will force you to choose favorites OVER your favorites.

Finalists will receive special prizes of all kinds which we don’t know yet!

Everyone might receive different matchups.

All times listed below are in KST (GMT+9)

R1: Update launch - 12/17, 11:59 AM (top 64 of 110 will advance)

R2: 12/17, 1 PM - 12/20, 11:59 AM (top 32 of 64 will advance, this is where the bracket goes to the real 1v1 situations where one goes home in each matchup)

R3: 12/20, 1 PM - 12/23, 11:59 AM (top 16 of 32 will advance)

R4: 12/23, 1 PM - 12/25, 11:59 AM (the top 6 of 16 will advance to the semifinals, more than half of the quarterfinalists will be eliminated)

Semifinals: 12/25, 1 PM - 12/27, 11:59 AM (the top 3 of 6 will advance to the finals)

Finals: 12/27, 1 PM - 12/29, 11:59 AM

Results Announcement: 12/29, 1 PM

☁️ Anyways, let’s move on to the first round with some matchups that appeared on Meringue’s end. There WILL one-sided matches because of high rarity or reputation and splitting-hair rounds because you gotta choose between favorites. It’s possible you could have different matchups though, as more than half the competition is still moving on. Once you make your vote in a round, you can’t take it back. Vote in every matchup in a round for 200 Crystals.

Sorbet Shark vs Peppermint (Good luck choosing between them…)

Kouign-Amann vs Twizzly Gummy

Lilac vs Frilled Jellyfish

Strawberry Crepe vs Cherry Blossom (So pink! And also so loud!)

Oyster vs Financier (Which side of the Crème Republic is YOUR favorite?)

Proto-bracket Round 3 Poll #5

Descriptions:

Closet (he/him/his, Life in the Dreamhouse): an endless labyrinth of clothes from all of Barbie's careers, forests, a huge bust of Barbie's head, and a hallway of shoes that takes a day or two to reach the end of. Closet has a "good" and "evil" switch, which resulted in some chaos that included industrial sized washing machines. Closet has control over all the Dreamhouse's electronic functions. He can mathematically determine the perfect outfit. His father is Ken, but he'll deny it. He's just a silly little guy. He really wants to eat sherbet.

HAL 9000 (he/him, 2001 a space odyssey): he basically is the discovery though he wasn't created specifically to operate it. no crew are required to keep it running as long as he's there and it required significantly more maintenance/deteriorates noticeably when he's deactivated, notably (in 2010, the sequel) smelling like "something died in there". it's just rotting food but the relation between hal and the discovery is very there and imo isnt explored enough. also obligatory announcement that you should read the odyssey books and that hal did nothing wrong ever in any of his three lives. and he's gay btw

One woman drives across five states just to see her. The woman being driven to has no idea anyone's headed her way. The driving woman crosses three bridges & seven lakes just to get to her door. She stops along the highway, wades into the soggy ground, cuts down coral-eyed cattails, carries them to her car as if they might be sherbet orange, long-stemmed, Confederate roses, sheared for Sherman himself. For two days she drives toward the woman in Kentucky, sleeping in rest areas with her seat lowered all the way back, doors locked. When she reaches the state line it's misting. The tired pedal-to-the-metal woman finally calls ahead. I'm here, she says. Who's this? The woman being driven to, who has never checked her oil, asks. The driving woman reminds her of the recent writing workshop where they shared love for all things out-of-doors and lyrical. Come, have lunch with me, the driving woman invites. They eat spinach salads with different kinds of dressing. They talk about driving, the third thing they both love and how fast clouds can change from state line to state line. The didn't-know-she-was-coming woman stares at she who has just arrived. She tries to read the mighty spinach leaves in her bowl, privately marveling at the driving woman's muscled spontaneity. She can hardly believe this almost stranger has made it across five states just to have lunch with her. She wonders where this mad driving woman will sleep tonight. She is of two driving minds. One convertible. One hardtop. The driving woman shows her pictures of her children. Beautiful, the other does not say. Before long words run out of petrol. The woman who is home, but without pictures of her own, announces she must go. The driving woman frets & flames, May I walk you to your car? They walk. The driver changes two lanes in third gear, fast. The trunk opens. The Mario Andretti look-alike fills the other woman's arms with sable-sheared cattails. Five feet high & badly in need of sunlight & proudly stolen from across five states. The woman with no children of her own pulls their twenty pounds in close, resting them over her Peter-Panning heart. Her lungs empty out, then fill, then fill again with the surge of birth & surprise. For two years, until their velvet bodies begin (and end) to fall to pieces, every time the driven-to woman passes the bouquet of them, there, in the vase by the front door, she is reminded of what falling in love, without permission, smells like. Each time she reaches for her keys, she recalls what you must be willing to turn into for love: spiny oyster mushroom, damson, salt marsh, cedar, creosote, new bud of pomegranate, Aegean sage blue sea, fig, blueberry, marigold, leaf fall, fogs eye, dusty miller, thief-of-the-night.

@cathiief requested a little treat 🍨

At first, he refrained from announcing himself. Instead, he allowed himself a moment to observe her at work. "Perhaps the sea charts can wait," Sanji offered from the doorway of the surveying room. With his lean frame inclined toward the door frame, the cook launched away from it following a gentle push from his foot. Balanced expertly on the tips of his fingers was a tray carrying a hurricane glass and its stout partner, a sherbet glass. In the hurricane glass? A tea blend of gunpowder green, dried mango, and white tea with tangerine. It was strong-brewed and then poured over ice with a squeeze of citrus juice. The beverage was garnished with a curled tangerine peel. Its accompaniment? A creamy, decadent tangerine posset. "At least until you've given yourself a break," crooned the cook as he crossed the threshold.

Sanji making your muse a treat! 1/5

🌞 The ZetaPro main cast has some very special announcements! 🌞

For Season 5, Zolar Flare will be getting FIVE new members, Re:Quiem will get two, Say The Nova will get two, and Melody will get her own unit along with ZetaPro's new solo artist Nia!

"No one's as cute as me!"

Leading us off is a familiar face! Inori Tenjou, the self-proclaimed cutest angel and former member of Pixie Kiss, now achieving the status of Ascended Fangirl!

Inori has been a very avid Zolar Flare fan ever since they debuted and were the biggest inspirations for her to start her own idol journey. She wasn't sure if she was ready to try out for them just yet, but she admired Pixie Kiss's theme and was quick to join, learn and gain more confidence from them.

In Season 4, when ÆON and their fans brought some competitive atmosphere, professionalism and toxicity into the community, Inori was singled out in Pixie Kiss as their supposed "weakest and most annoying member," calling her voice "cringe" and causing her to get a lot of online backlash almost to the point of quitting altogether. Zolar Flare and Pixie Kiss gave her tons of inspiration, kindness and support to keep going and help prove her haters wrong.

Inori will be part of the subunit Love×2 Sherbet as their lemon sherbet angel. She is still friends with all of her old friends in Pixie Kiss for all the support and experience they have given her, even getting to pitch in to their first single before Kotonoha joined the group. Inori always likes to be at the front row whenever Venus performs!

Her best girl is Sachiko Koshimizu. Not only was she her first SSR in Starlight Stage, but she strives to achieve her level of cuteness.

Her lungs empty out, then fill, then fill again with the surge of birth & surprise. For two years, until their velvet bodies begin (and end) to fall to pieces, every time the driven-to woman passes the bouquet of them, there, in the vase by the front door, she is reminded of what falling in love, without permission, smells like. Each time she reaches for her keys, she recalls what you must be willing to turn into for love: spiny oyster mushroom, damson, salt marsh, cedar, creosote, new bud of pomegranate, Aegean sage blue sea, fig, blueberry, marigold, leaf fall, fogs eye, dusty miller, thief-of-the-night.
