4 and 19 for the ask game? for all ur steps, if you're up for it? Or pick whichever :)

evening! thank you for the ask :]!

4. When scared, does your OC fight, flee, freeze or fawn?

Caine- flight. eyes closed, he doesnt want to see whats going down, and hightailing it as fast as possible. thats what happened during checkpoint three in retri, and wouldve been his choice during heartbreak if they werent ! that said, after the bad dream (the one before we meet chen in the boneyard), he Did stay stock still, since he got the freeze instinct trained into him. (actually i just remembered they punched mitchel (from @hyper-pixels, hi) after they woke up from a bad void dream???? so maybe they just have a weird amalgamation of instincts that crop up depending on the situation).

Cyrus- its a toss-up between fight and flight for him– hes 100% a coward and not afraid to cut his losses when he thinks he needs to, but at the same time, hes a stubborn bastard and has a Lot of anger to spare. generally speaking, his first instinct is fight. its only after he takes the time to assess a situation when he decides what hes going to do though– if he thinks he has a fighting chance, hes going for it. interestingly, hes less willing to fight things now that hes a villain than he was as a hero.

Cecilia- fight. honestly, theres no debate. anybody who has the audacity to scare her is going to face one (1) Incredibly pissed off ceci and probably more than a few fresh bruises. she hates feeling scared–it makes her feel powerless, and thats something she swore shed never experience again. fighting her fears makes her feel like theres something she can do about it, even if its superficial.

Cynthia- its either freeze or fawn, and the farm taught her both <3 she cant bring herself to fight or run because both actions were punished. she found out quickly enough that just taking it gave her a lighter sentence overall, and she continued to use that. fun(?) fact, 'just taking it' pretty much carried her into becoming a fighter step, because her pain tolerance is high as hell now. she still takes the armor upgrade though, just in case.

19. How does your OC behave when enraged?

Caine- hah. ok. well, in most cases, he wont hurt you. most of the time, hed settle for a clenched jaw and a glare. also not above leaving the room, no matter how important the person theyre talking to is. id say they get quiet when theyre angry, but theyre quiet most of the time so itd be hard to differentiate between normal quiet and 'fantasizing-about-watching-the-light-leave-from-their-eyes' quiet. if they have a reason to hurt them though? if hes in his armor, or its otherwise possible to inflict sufficient damage to them? at least One bone is breaking. if the person is regina specifically, shes not leaving the interaction with her life.

Cyrus- tear the bitch apart. psychologically???? physically???? emotionally????? why not all three of them! it would really depend on the situation, but by now cyrus knows how to rein in his anger just enough to figure out what would hurt somebody the most. this could range from kicking their ass to giving them a breakdown by systematically targeting their fears/insecurities. hes a cunt, but hes Smart about it.

Cecilia- Lots of yelling. probably more than a few punches too. her anger is explosive and raw, and its very easy for her to get caught up in it. that said, it doesnt last long either– once the initial anger burns out, shes willing to forget about it. if you piss her off, its a matter of how good you are at weathering the brute anger, which, granted, can be hard to do considering ceci like to hit things. she likes to hit things hard.

Cynthia- that depends when in the timeline she gets angry, because those have very different answers. pre-retri ending, she Refused to show her anger. you could not force her to. echo may end up being slightly more erratic if she got into an argument or something like that, but that was it. but the minute ortega accused her of being a regene copy? that switched up Quick. if she was going to be seen as a monster and a fake, fine, shell play the part. nowadays, getting her pissed means you have a target on your back, and not only is she patient in ruining your life, her high caution means its very difficult for her emotions to blind her. she acts cold, nearly apathetic, but rest assured shes finding out exactly what makes you tick.

questions from here!

Amongst Them All, I See You

Prompt: Hey! I saw that you’re taking requests, and wanted to toss one out there for you. Hope you don’t mind. by the way, i absolutely LOVE your writing!! it’s always so heartwarming and nicely worded. Anyways, I had this idea for a Tsukishima Kei x reader where maybe basically Him and the reader have a enemies-to-lovers relationship. and maybe it has something to do with yamaguchi? i was thinking it could be some kind of angst 👉👈 but if you don’t write angst that’s perfectly fine!! it doesnt have to be. feel free to twist this any way you want :) Requested by: anonymous (thank you darling!).

A/N: salty beanpole has finally made his arrival ;) Pairing: Tsukishima Kei x F!Reader

From the moment he met you, Tsukishima didn’t like you.

Now, he couldn’t exactly explain why. There wasn’t necessarily a real reason for it, just a feeling, an instinct if you will, and Tsukishima felt it best to listen to his gut. It’d never failed him before.

“Tsukki! I brought Y/N!”

By now, this is a common occurrence. Yamaguchi was all but determined to make the two of you friends, though Tsukishima couldn’t even begin to understand why, and it didn’t matter who ended up getting dragged along, the two of you found yourself constantly forced to spend time together.

Today, apparently, is no different. And the apprehensive, hesitant expression on your face is the same as always as Yamaguchi holds tightly to your wrist, you two steps behind him as you’ve probably spent the last few minutes trying to desperately convince your friend that it was alright, you didn’t mind eating lunch alone, you didn’t need company, etc. that Yamaguchi basically never listens to.

After all, you are a lot easier to convince then Tsukishima is.

You can never really say no to Yamaguchi’s soft eyes and hopeful smile, it seems.

Yamaguchi forces you to sit, before taking the spot next to you with a pleasant smile, reaching into his bag as if he hadn’t all but forced you against your will there.

And Tsukishima stares for a moment, one, two, before placing the lid back on his bento box. “I’ll be taking my leave then,” he says simply, voice dull, face blank as he moves to stand.

As Yamaguchi rushes to stop him, a hand over his own, practically pleading and spouting something like we’ve never not eaten lunch together -- something Tsukishima could really care less about, he misses the second of hurt that flashes in your eyes. It’s brief, passing with a blink, and then your face is settling into a scowl, cutting Yamaguchi’s begging off;

“Am I really all that awful to be with?”

“No--”

“Yes--”

Yamaguchi glares at him, to which Tsukishima rolls his eyes, finally sitting back down in his seat with a sigh.

And so, lunch continues on as it usually does. Tsukishima sits there silently, maybe putting a word in or two if Yamaguchi looks at him expectantly, while the two of you talk adamantly amongst one another. You’re loud, painfully so, like you always are, and Tsukishima is all but torturously reminded of Hinata, and he can already feel a headache coming.

He doesn’t listen to the conversation, not really at least. He does take note, mainly because he can’t help to, like he always does, that while you always seem to be loud at lunch, or after practice, it’s only ever when you’re with Yamaguchi. In class, you’re quiet. Almost eerily so. And you’re usually alone. 

Scratch that, before Yamaguchi and him, you were always alone.

Tsukishima pretends like he hadn’t noticed, like when Yamaguchi comes bounding up to him one day, excited to introduce you, he didn’t already know who you were. Because, it seemed like lots didn’t. Your presence is often lost amongst the crowd, and for the longest time, Tsukishima felt like he was the only one who did see you.

Head turned down, arms wrapped around yourself, you so purposely tried to avoid attention but Tsukishima always noticed you.

He doesn’t tell people things very often, and even Yamaguchi doesn’t know the things he swears he’ll never tell anyone. So, for the longest time, you’re like this secret he keeps. He notices you, you don’t notice him, and he sees things that no one else does.

He sees the frustration on your face when you open your locker only to find that your books and homework have been ripped. He sees the way you rush from class to class, desperate to be in the halls for as little time as possible. He sees the way that one girl from class, Tsukishima doesn’t care to learn her name, slams you up against your locker one day after school, and hears the low threats thrown your way, ones he can’t make sense of.

And he sees the way you always wear your blazer, even when it’s blazing hot outside. You choose the longer skirt option, and are always wearing knee high socks. Your skin is constantly covered, hiding something.

But then Yamaguchi introduces you to him one day, like he didn’t already know who are you, and you’re all shy smiles and quiet whispers to him but you’re bright eyed and giggly when you turn to Yamaguchi. You speak to him like he’s a friend you’ve had for years, rather then a few weeks, and Tsukishima jealousy bubbles up to hate towards you for some sick, twisted reason he can’t properly explain.

And it’s just been like that for the past two months.

“We don’t have practice after school,” Yamaguchi offers, eyeing Tsukishima before turning to you. “Would you like to hang after school?”

Tsukishima notices, out of the corner of his eye, the way your body straightens at his words, eyes widening slightly in panic. Panic that’s only there for a moment, something that Yamaguchi completely misses.

“Uh, sure. I just have to, um, uh, drop something off quickly after class. I can meet you outside, by the gym?”

Yamaguchi shrugs, “sure.”

And Tsukishima wonders how Yamaguchi didn’t notice how plainly obvious a lie that was.

“Anyways, um,” you move to gather your stuff, quickly, movements stiff. “I have to talk to the teacher before class, so I’ll just meet you guys there, okay?” And you’re standing before Yamaguchi can really say otherwise, waving at him, before your eyes fall on his, as if debating, before turning, rushing off.

Yamaguchi turns back to his food, completely obvious.

“I’ll be late after school too.”

“Oh?” Yamaguchi mumbles, obviously confused. “Is everything okay?”

“Fine,” Tsukishima nods, “just got to grab something.”

-

“Ah, here you go, Y/N-chan! I’ll need them done by tomorrow!”

Your jaw all but falls to the floor.

“T-Tomorrow?” You whisper, hesitant, voice shaky. “But... this is like three days worth of homework, Suzuki-san, I couldn’t possibly--”

“But you will,” she cuts in sharply, your own eyes falling on her with a blink of surprise, wincing slightly at the deep frown on her lips. “Because you know what will happen if you don’t.”

Fingers tightening around the stack of papers, you sigh, trying to stop the shaking of your limbs as you numbly nod. “Of course, Suzuki-san,” you whisper, “I’ll have them done by tomorrow morning.”

Her hand raises in your peripheral and you flinch, expecting the worst, lips parting to apologize for whatever you did wrong -- but her hand simply falls on top of your head in a mock pat. “Perfect.” And then she’s turning without another word, not even a thanks, and as you watch her walk off, you feel your vision blur.

Your grip on the paper tightens, turning painful as you curse softly to yourself, turning around so your backs against the hall and you hastily rip open your locker to hide yourself the best you can. Luckily, everyone’s most gone off now, so there’s no prying eyes watching you cry to yourself.

Not like anyone ever notices anyway...

“You shouldn’t let her talk to you like that.”

Jumping at the voice, the eerily familiar one, you spin, wiping at your eyes desperately as you peer up at Tsukishima, shocked. “Tsukishima!” You gasp, shaking your head. “You scared me,” you try to laugh off, pressing a hand against your chest and pretend like you hadn’t just been sobbing to yourself seconds prior. “Did Yamaguchi send you to find me? I’m surprised you agreed, but i’m almost--!”

His hand slams against the locker next to yours, causing you to jump once more, blinking up at him as he glares down at you.

“Cut the bullshit.”

Laughing nervously, you shake your head; “I-I don’t know--”

“I saw everything Y/N,” he cuts in, “don’t lie to me.”

And sudden anger flares in you, frustration from before, and frustrated at him, at people constantly interrupting you, walking all over you like you were nothing but dirt. “What do you care,” you hiss, voice low as you turn, ignoring him as you grab the paper, slamming your locker shut. “You hate me.”

And there’s a pause, Tsukishima blinking in surprise that you don’t notice, before the papers ripped from your hands. You spin back around, ready to yell at him, before you notice him moving towards the trash and all but dumping the pile in.

“W-Wait!” 

You try to stop him, to no avail, and your eyes widen as you lean over the rim of the garbage can, eyeing the papers that have spread amongst the trash, rotted food and spilled drinks, soiling the paper.

Eyes wide, disbelief flooding your entire system, you turn to Tsukishima. “Why would you do that?” You whisper, shaking your head. “You don’t understand, she’ll--!”

“She’ll what?” He asks bluntly, gaze never wavering.

Swallowing thickly, you shake your head; “it doesn’t matter. Just-Just help me get the paper, most of it might still be okay--”

Tsukishima grabs you by the wrist, halting you from grabbing the papers.

You spin, blinded by your anger, and shove at him in the chest. But Tsukishima barely budges, just staring down at you as you glare at him, the tears now falling once more as you feel your emotions that you’ve been hiding and building up inside of you, finally come pouring out.

“What do you even know!” You yell, voice booming. “Why do you even care? Don’t you hate me? You only tell me how annoying I am every day, constantly, and now she’ll... Suzuki-san...--”

“Y/N,” grabbing both your wrists, Tsukishima pulls gently, pulling your eyes on him. You find yourself surprised at what you see when you meet his gaze, baffled by the softened look in his gaze -- and... is that? Guilt? “Just look at me.”

You fall silent, puzzled.

“You don’t have to worry about her,” he says simply, “she won’t hurt you anymore.”

Anymore?

How does he...?

Lips parting, you try to find the words, bewildered, at a loss of words.

“Y/N--”

Pushing at his chest, you stumble away from him, shaking your head. Eyes blurred, watering, you glare up at him, while he simply stares back down at you, that same stupid guilty look on his face.

“Tsukki? Y/N...?”

Blinking, you both glance back, Yamaguchi having come to a stop before the two of you, clearly confused.

That seems to snap you out of your stupor. Wiping at your eyes, you turn, “I have to go home,” you whisper, voice quiet. “Sorry Tadashi, but I won’t be able to hang tonight.”

And then you’re taking off into a sprint, desperate to get as far away as possible.

“Tsukki?” Yamaguchi whispers after a moment, turning to look at his friend imploringly. “What happened--?”

Scoffing, Tsukishima just shakes his head. “Nothing.”

-

“Take your hands off of her.”

Blinking, you shift, enough to glance at the shadow that has fallen over both you and Suzuki, bewildered at the sight of Tsukishima.

But he simply ignores you, keeping his gaze trained on Suzuki who seems just as confused as you, though more angry. It doesn’t phase him however, and he simply stands there, one hand in his pocket, the other clutching his school bag tightly, as the glare on his glasses stares her down.

“Now.”

Suzuki lets go of you, and you crumble to the ground in a heap, turning to Tsukishima with a scoff. “Who are you to tell me what to do?” She laughs, shaking her head with a roll of her eyes. “Besides, this is the girls washroom, you’re not--”

He catches the hand that she waves lazily at him, and it doesn’t take a genius to know his grip is tight. She gasps in response, her face falling in pain as he glowers down at her. “I’d say bullying is worse,” he mumbles, and somehow the drawl, the uninterest in his tone of voice is even more terrifying then him being actually angry. “And I’d wonder how your teacher would feel if she knew all your perfect grades were because of Y/N?”

Suzuki’s eyes widen, clearly scared, before scoffing. “And what proof do you--”

“It’s mine and Y/N’s word against your own, Suzuki.”

She turns to you then, and so does Tsukishima, and your lips part, unsure.

“Like Y/N will say--”

“I’m done with warning you,” she whimpers slightly, and your eyes fall to the grip he stills hold of her, a hand going to your lips. “Either leave and never bother Y/N again, or you will regret it.”

He lets go of her, and there’s a pause in which Suzuki sends one last look at you, before rushing out of the bathroom without another word.

“Here.” Tsukishima’s grabbing ahold of you before you even notice, gently pulling you to your feet, and helping set you against one of the sinks before he turns, locking the bathroom door.

“Thank you,” you whisper when he turns back to you, hugging yourself.

“I told you,” he shrugs, “she won’t hurt you anymore.”

Looking down at your feet, you bite your lip. “How’d you know?”

He blinks, turning to you; “yesterday--”

“No,” you shake your head, turning to him sharply, “before that. How’d you know? No... No one ever notices. No one ever sees. Not even Tadashi.”

And Tsukishima tenses at the mention of him, the way you regard him on a first name basis when you said it right there and then -- he’d never noticed. No one did. But him.

“I noticed,” he whispers, “and I should’ve done something about it earlier.”

“It wasn’t your problem,” you shrug, before letting out a short laugh, “besides, you hate me, right? So it makes sense--”

He’s before you in seconds, shocking you to silence as he stands close, desperately close, but avoids your gaze, head tucked in, shaking his head. “I don’t...” And the words seem hard, forcing them forward, and Tsukishima suddenly seems less scary then and just... awkward.

Like he doesn’t know how to express what he’s feeling.

“I don’t... hate you.”

And you pause, letting the word sink in, before letting out a giggle, one that has Tsukishima glancing up at you in bafflement.

“Well, I’m glad,” you smile at him, the first time you’ve ever smile at him so... genuinely. “Because I don’t hate you either.”

The Little Things You Keep Hidden From Me

~~~(this is a long one so bear with me! using she/they pronouns for namaari btw!)~~~

namaari likes things—she really really does! she just, well, never really knows where to put their stuff, just shoving it into a basket to get it out of sight...they had never really thought of it as a problem, just something that was obvious since she was so busy with all of her royal duties, but the longer she’s around raya the more they realize something might be up.

when raya and her start dating, they naturally begin to spend more time at each other’s homes, more specifically in each other’s rooms. the third time raya spends the night in fang since they’ve become official, she finally asks namaari just why her room is so incredibly bare, claiming it looks more like a spare room in a random inn rather than a living space. namaari is actually stumped by this question, answering that “she’s just too busy to put any posters up or little figurines out.” raya doesnt believe it though, she can tell there’s something else by the quirk in namaari’s brow that the fang princess does often without even realizing. nevertheless, raya let’s it go and cuddles deeper into her girlfriends neck, taking a mental note to bring it up when they’re both more awake.

the next time raya brings it up, however, is when the girls are sparring together to blow off some steam. namaari had already been slightly agitated from an argument with her mother so it probably wasn’t the best for raya to bring up right then. despite that, the princess of heart had tried to play it off in a joking manner, snickering a bit as she told the other princess that they should travel to talon sometime to pick up decorations so namaari can stop having such a “bare ass room”. the kick to the gut raya received immediately notified her that it was definitely a bad time, especially as she moaned on the ground in pain as namaari stormed off. despite it only taking them two days to reconcile after that, raya promised she wouldn’t bring it up again, even though namaari still hadn’t told her why the question bothered them so bad.

even though raya had said she wouldn’t bring up the issue again, she began to rethink after a short talk with sisu about the matter. the dragon had brought up a very good point: “why not just add things here and there and see how namaari reacts? that way nothing is permanent and namaari wouldn’t have to try and put her feelings into words, just remove what they didn’t want.”raya didn’t have the best feeling about this but she sensed that this issue was more than it seemed and that it needed to be explored so she took sisu up on her offer and put the plan into effect on her following trips to fang. she’d place a poster by namaari’s bed or a small dragon carved of trees from spine on the desk one day and place a plant or a book by the door the next. the first two items disappeared within the hour of them being up and the second two held out for a day. raya tried this again two more times and the same pattern followed. she was now missing a poster, the wood carving, the book, a throw pillow, a small teddy bear, and a plant—this only concerned her more as namaari hadn’t brought any of it up. just as raya was starting to give up on this experiment, a breakthrough moment happened.

it had been a exhaustingly long day of meetings and diplomatic hearings and all the two princesses wanted to do was sleep. they hung out on namaari’s bed, cuddling as they chatted with sisu who was perched on the windowsill before namaari decided she was going to shower. sisu said goodbye and raya started gathering her own belongings from her bag for bed. normally she’d join her girlfriend in the shower but they were both feeling much too sluggish for that kind of shower at the moment.

as raya was taking off her jewelry, one of her arm bands rolled off the edge of the bed and under the closet door on the other side of the room. she sighed in exasperation but got up to retrieve it nonetheless. when she opened the closet door and reached in to grab her jewelry, she was surprised to see a large basket placed in the middle of the chamber among her girlfriend’s clothes. she knew she should probably ask namaari if it was ok to open it but something in her gut was screaming at her to peak inside, so she looked behind her to make sure no one had entered the room without her knowing and moved to open the basket, face contorting in confusion when she saw what was in it.

in front of her sat all of the objects that she had placed in the room, all situated in such a way so that nothing was broken or squashed. raya also noticed some other objects like books and pages of artwork hidden under the materials she had lost. it took her only a moment to sigh sadly and put the lid back onto the basket. she made her way back to the bed and sat on it, head in her hands as she waited for namaari to return.

“i can’t believe how much dirt can stick to you when you sweat, it’s absolutely disgust-“ namaari said as she walked back into the room, now in her night clothes.

“raya? what’s wrong, why do you look so sad?” The fang princess said, closing the door behind them with a worried expression.

raya was silent for a moment before exhaling and standing up from the bed, walking over to her girlfriend and taking both of their hands in her own.

“when i was getting my stuff together for my shower, one of my arm bands fell off the bed and rolled under the closet door. i saw the basket, maari.” raya said, looking down at their conjoined hands.

“you didn’t open it, did you?” namaari said, voice clearly wavering as her eyebrows creased together.

“you know i had to. it didn’t feel right...” raya replied sadly.

“well it doesn’t mean anything, it’s just a stupid basket.” namaari huffed, pulling her hands away from raya and walking away from her and towards the window, back to their girlfriend.

“that’s not true namaari. you and i both know what that basket is for.” raya could tell namaari was getting upset, their shoulders were tensing and her fists were squeezed into balls.

“i said it was nothing. drop it raya.” namaari warned, chest heaving as she started to get worked up.

“i will not drop it! why didn’t you tell me that you don’t keep any of your personal items out because you’re afraid you’ll have to flee fang one day and don’t want to risk leaving them behind?!” raya shouted, temper fully exploding.

to anyone else, that may seem like a ridiculous stretch, but raya knew better. she knew this is what namaari had done because she had done the same thing all her years of searching for sisu. since she had no time to gather her belongings the day the dragon gem broke, the only mementos from home she had left were the clothes and accessories on her body, tuktuk, and her father’s sword. for years as she traveled she never once took them out of her bag, in fear that she’d be ambushed and would have to outrun bandits or druun. she longed to be able to take out her clothes she was wearing that day and hold them close to her chest, focusing on how beautiful that morning had been with her father still in her life, but she was more terrified of losing them in the event she had to run for her life.

the basket was large but also made out of a very light material that was abundant in fang. the handles were designed to not pinch or strain the hands and the bottom was weaved in such a way that running with it would not be too much of a hinderance. raya immediately knew that this basket was bought for a specific purpose and the person who bought it hadn’t even realized how heartbreaking the situation was.

“so what?! i just want to be prepared, get off my case about it!” namaari shouted back, turning to face raya with a deep scowl on her face.

“namaari, being prepared is packing a bag with the essentials for survival! maybe even some extra clothes that mean a lot to you, this is not prepared! this is paranoid!” raya shouted, gesturing around the bare room with flailing arms.

“i am not fucking paranoid! who knows what could happen tomorrow?! who knows who i could lose at any moment in my life! just because i want to keep my things at the ready does not mean i am paranoid, it means i’m smart, don’t be jealous because you were too dumb to think of it!” namaari all but roared at their girlfriend.

they both froze for a moment, just looking at each other in a huff as they took in namaari’s words.

“i’m smart enough to know when someone is going through something and i’m smart enough to know that i need to step in to help. but yeah, guess i’m the fucking idiot for trying to check on you, my own girlfriend. my bad, though, i’ll try to be less dumb next time, yeah?” raya said, face stone cold as she grabbed her coat and left the room, leaving namaari with tears streaming down her face behind her.

~~~

namaari absolutely hates crying. not because they feel like they don’t have the right to do it, but because once she starts, she can rarely ever stop. she bottles up so much and when that bottle explodes every negative emotion she’s had just comes gushing out. they cried and cried, head feeling like it was going to split as she sobbed into her hands. they hadn’t meant to hurt raya’s feelings, they were just so incredibly ashamed their fears had gotten to them so badly. it took her an hour for the tears to stop falling from her eyes and one hour after that to fully compose herself enough to stand up from where she had sunk to the ground. they walked over on shaky legs to their closet and opened it, pulling out the basket and dumping the contents out onto the bed. she looked over the objects, finally understanding it had been raya who had placed them all in her room out of care and not her mother to spite her, the thought only making her want to cry again. she shoved it down and kept looking, eyes finally landing on the bear plushy that had rolled farther down her bed. she picked it up and sighed, holding it close to her chest as she bit back more tears.

“i hate it when you two fight.” sisu said solemly from the windowsill, voice soft but still startling namaari on accident.

“you and me both.” namaari responded, voice weak from their sobbing.

“she’s ready for you, you know.” the dragon said, making her way into the room to stand beside the fang princess.

“i know. it just, continues to shock me just how much she trusts i’ll always come back to her. i don’t think anyone but my mother has fought for me that hard.” namaari said, toying with the plush in her hands.

“i don’t think she’s ever wanted to fight for anyone as much as she fights for you, other than her father.” sisu replied, placing a hand on the human’s shoulder.

“i really messed up, sisu. i feel awful.” namaari said, leaning into the touch.

“nows your chance to make it right then, come on, she’s waiting.” sisu said, waiting for the princess’ consent before grabbing her by the waist and flying them out the window.

~~~

raya absolutely hated being angry. the feeling burned like thousands of fire ants under her skin that were crawling through her nerves and stinging at her body to get out. she just wanted to help namaari! that’s all. she had been exactly where the fang princesses had and it was eating her alive that she felt like namaari wasn’t trusting her.

after leaving namaari’s room she had managed to make it to the water front uninterrupted in an angry haze before sisu stopped her.

“woah, woah, woah, hold it right there, grumpy!” sisu said, stopping right in front of the heart princess.

“what’s with the frown?! did namaari kick you out again because you snore?” sisu said, completely oblivious to the fact raya was deeply upset by this.

“no sisu and i don’t want to fucking talk about it right now, move.” raya said harshly, pushing passed the dragon and continuing her stomping.

sisu was back in front of her in seconds, face now contorted in a scowl as she towered over the princess from heart. they had talked about how much sisu hated when people cursed at her, even if it was all light hearted, and it seemed like raya had forgotten and needed to be reminded.

“don’t talk to me like that. it’s disrespectful, princess.” the dragon all but spat at the human.

rayas eyes went wide, weak inhale filling her lungs as she understood what the dragon was saying. after a moment of them staring at each other, raya sighed, hands pressing onto her eyes as she started to tear up.

“you’re right. i’m sorry. i just—god i’m just so angry!” raya said, tears falling freely from her eyes at this point as she sunk to the ground. they were at the water front now, sitting on the edge of where the boats would dock.

“what happened?” sisu asked, gently wrapping her arms around her friend.

“namaari and i got into a fight about all of the missing stuff. i don’t know why i hadn’t put two and two together but she was hiding it in a basket in her closet because they were afraid they’d have to run from fang.” raya said, leaning into the dragon’s touch.

“why would they still be afraid? the druun are gone now.” sisu asked, face pulled into a worried expression.

“i would’ve asked them but they got defensive when i told them about the basket and you know when she gets defensive she starts acting like a jerk.” raya said, wiping her tears as they fell.

“sounds like someone else i know...”sisu said, smile clearly present in her voice.

raya laughed softly, sisu’s comment cheering her up slightly. she sighed and pulled away from the dragon, pushing her hair out of her face.

“i don’t want her to be afraid that they’ll come back. we’ve only talked about them a little bit i know she also has nightmares about it and it keeps her awake when i’m not with her. i just didn’t expect them to be so fearful that they refuse to keep anything permanent up in their room because they don’t think they’ll be able to take their belongings with them in case they have to flee.” raya said, now looking down at her hands.

“i know you just want to help but getting over stuff like that isn’t always easy, especially when you think you’re moving forward and it seems like ten things push you back. i know i’m not the best at relationship advice but maybe try letting her talk at you rather than with you.” sisu said.

“like how?” raya asked.

“let her get everything out: the nightmares, the objects and what they mean to them, all that stuff. no arguing and little to no commentary. just free talk. through that you might understand the underlying cause of all of this paranoia. which i’m also guessing you made her feel bad for so you should apologize for that asap.” sisu replied.

“you’re right, i know you are, it’s just—hard. i’ve never felt like this before, so in love with someone who has their own stuff to work through too, and i don’t want to mess it up because she deserves happiness.” raya said, looking up from her hands and at the dragon by her side, who she was surprised to see was wearing an expression of absolute surprise at what she had said.

“what? why are you so surprised? was it something i said?” Raya began—in that very moment realizing it was something she said. she covered her mouth with both hands and matched sisu’s wide eyes.

“raya, you said the L word.” sisu whispered.

“oh my god i said the L word.” raya echoed.

“sisu—i...” raya tried to speak but the words were caught in her throat. she had really said it out loud that she was in love with namaari, like fully and deeply in love with her and it was so overwhelming she began to cry again.

“i’m so proud of you, girl! admitting your in love is a big step. i’m so happy for you.” sisu said, pulling raya into a hug that was beating the edge of way too tight for a human and not tight enough for raya.

“thank you, sisu, you’re an incredible friend.” raya smiled.

“yeah, i know. i rock!” sisu chuckled, pulling away and getting up from where she had been sitting.

“now, i’m going to go get that other grumpy princess and you two are going to talk some things out, ok?” sisu said.

“ok, tell her i’m ready for her.” raya said, smiling as sisu sprang into the sky and glided to the palace.

~~~

even though it would seem like namaari would be afraid of heights, it was actually quite the opposite. they loved being in high places and looking out at the world around them. soaring through the air with a dragon, let alone the sisudatu, was not something she ever thought she’d do in her life—now? they wouldn’t have it any other way.

“this is your stop, your majesty. oh! and be on your best behavior or i’ll drop you in the ocean when i come back.” Sisu said, placing namaari on the ground next to raya.

“and that goes for both of you! best. behavior.” sisu added before flying off and leaving them alone.

both princesses sat in silence for a moment, both not entirely sure where to start.

“look, maari, i’m—“ raya began.

“No!” namaari countered, effectively cutting Raya off.

“you always take the first step. i don’t want you to think that i won’t meet you there. if it’s ok, i’d like to go first.” namaari said, sitting down next to the heart princess.

“ok, go for it, i’m here to listen.” raya replied.

“i’m really sorry for how i reacted. I didnt mean to hurt your feelings or imply you’re not intelligent. I was so ashamed that i let my fears get the best of me that i started acting like a...” Namaari began.

“A jerk?” Raya asked, mouth slightly quirked up at the corner

“A bitch.” Namaari smiled softly.

“I should’ve listened to what you were trying to tell me. I was being paranoid when i should’ve just toughened up.” Namaari finished.

Raya sighed and took her girlfriend’s hand that wasn’t holding onto the little bear.

“Don’t say that. You are not a bad person for being paranoid and it’s not so easy to just “toughen up” when it comes to trauma. I’m so sorry I made you feel that way, i was so wrong for that, maari. And i’m also sorry for opening the basket without your permission.” Raya confessed, making good on her agreement with sisu to apologize for making Namaari feel less than because of her fear.

“thank you, that means a lot to me, raya. I just dont want to start thinking that the druun will never return only to be proven wrong if they do, it makes me feel stupid and like i should’ve known better than to expect better. the nightmares and the second guessing and the stress of being alone on a lot of open land with no water source...it’s all so hard to deal with sometimes. but i think i’m realizing the more i push it down the worse it gets.” Namaari confessed.

“as much as i wish i knew what i could do to make it hurt you less, I don’t think i’ll ever fully understand how you’re feeling, even if our situations used to be similar—so i’m gonna work really hard to prove to you that you can always come to me and get comfort, even if i don’t always know what it’s like. i guess i was just feeding my own fear that you didn’t trust me instead of realizing you were so afraid because you do trust me.” raya explained, squeezing her girlfriend’s hand tighter.

“i dont want to lose you, not like i did before.” namaari said, unshed tears making their eyes gloss over as they squeezed raya’s hand tightly.

they both knew they were talking about when raya turned to stone, since namaari was uncertain if putting the pieces back together was going to work at all—if they hadn’t that would mean raya would be gone forever.

“i promise you i’m not going anywhere. i love you far too much to not fight for you.” the heart princess said, placing her hand softly on namaari’s cheek to use her thumb and brush away a stray tear.

“please never stop loving me.” namaari pleaded, tears rolling down her cheeks now.

“i wouldnt dream of it, dep la.” raya said, pulling the fang princess in for a long overdue make up kiss. she firmly pressed her lips to namaari’s as she pulled the princess’s face towards her, love confession making her needy. though she wanted to savor namaari (thanks to her newfound energy of course), she knew that this kiss was all they needed right now.

“if you want, we can start taking one thing out from the basket at a time,” Raya said as she broke the kiss, “i think we should start with the plant since it hasn’t had water since i got it and is probably dead.”

namaari chucked at this, “of course you’d get me a thirsty, half-dead plant to slip into my room. you’re a menace.”

“maybe,” raya began, breaking her sentence up by pressing another kiss to namaari’s soft lips with a smile, “but i’m your menace so you can’t get mad.”

“i love you, dep la.” namaari said, leaning over with the bear still clutched in their hands to rest their head on raya’s shoulder.

“and i love you, princess.” raya echoed, placing an arm around her girlfriend to pull her closer as they looked out at the water as the moonlight glistened on it.

At Your Corner

Idol: Kim Minji (Dreamcatcher)

Anon: my heart just broke bc i saw a pic of minji smiling but trying to hide her pain when their deja vu win got snatched by the sh*w so may i request a scenario with jiu being sad abt that but since shes in public, she needs to smile for the fans. 8th member reader who doesnt rlly show her emotions notices and just lets her kid side out like suddenly jumping in front of jiu and going "hey im a race car get on!" to make her laugh then fans coo and stuff? sry if this is a mess u can change anything tnx

A/n: this came very recently and i don’t usually work on newer requests but this fit my mood way too much that i couldn’t help BUT write it

☕buy me a coffee☕

Standing at the corner of the room, you survey the scene and watch as your members all look exhausted after everything you’ve been through.

It’s quieter than usual, and while you usually preferred it, you hated this silence.

Once again, you were close to finally obtaining a win for your group, and yet you were just a few points too short when The Show finally released the results. You could feel as your members’ shoulders visibly fell when you were all finally off the stage and from the public eye. You had all worked so hard and believed that this comeback would finally be the one to get you a win.

The first weeks of promotions had made you start to lose hope when you had yet to obtain what your group desired, but your leader remained optimistic through it all, telling you that it wasn’t over and that you still had more chances. Yet in the end, her optimism was snuffed out as she sat by the corner, head in her hands as she struggled to pull herself together for when you all had to leave the venue and face your fans.

To make matters worse, Handong was leaving for China in a few days.

With a shaky breath, you turned away and shrugged off your stage outfit, replacing it with the shirt you previously wore, tossing on your hoodie and cap when you were done before heading out of the room, one of your managers quickly following after you as Bora’s frown deepened when she caught a glimpse of your expression.

“Come on, girls. We have to get going soon.” Minji called after she cleaned her face and dusted herself off. She watched as Yoohyeon hurried and quickly left, silently asking your remaining managers where you had gone off to before she went to find you.

With a heavy heart, the girls exited the waiting room and headed for the building exit where you and Yoohyeon were already waiting, the younger girl holding your hand while she kept her head on your shoulder, nuzzling against you for comfort whilst you held her closer to yourself with your own head down.

Minji felt a tug in her heart to see you, but when she tried to reach you, Siyeon tugged at her arm and then shook her head, knowing that there would be no getting to you at this point.

While you rarely expressed yourself, it was easy to tell when you wanted to shut everything and everyone out. You would let the girls come near you, but you wouldn’t say a single thing or react to anything they’ll say except for a nod or a shake of the head in case they ask you something.

“Unnie told me she was with Everglow before Yoohyeon unnie found her.” Gahyeon muttered softly from beside the vocalist. “She said she was trying to make them feel better because of the votes.”

It was a little after you all exited the stage when people began making comments online about miscalculations. As much as it was a possibility, you and your members decided not to look into it just so it wouldn’t further worsen your mood. You were already upset with having lost, it made you feel even worse to know that your dongsaengs were most likely receiving backlash with everything that was happening.

“It’s going to be okay.” Bora murmured, squeezing her friend’s hand as they approached you and the quiet girl. Handong offered you a small smile, but you merely nodded at her before looking to the door, hearing the shouts of fans that were waiting for you.

You lower your cap over your eyes just to avoid making further eye contact with anyone before finally leaving the venue, eyes squinting at the flashing of the cameras. Yoohyeon had let go of you to join Bora and Yubin’s side. Siyeon and Gahyeon stood closely side by side and Minji was clinging to Handong in order to comfort both of them.

And it just hurt so much more to see them forcing smiles on their faces when you knew just how terrible they all felt. You also knew that your own fans felt just as bad, seeing the tears on some of them when the winners were announced.

Right now, you felt stuck because it was usually Gahyeon and Minji who kept bright smiles on their faces. Your members were always eager to interact with fans, just like you, but this whole predicament merely took its toll on all of you.

But you refused to let this night end with them in tears.

Smiling, you waved to your fans and tried to give off the energy your members were lacking despite how it would usually be the other way around. Looking to your managers for permission, they were a little less strict this time around when they knew you just needed some space and allowed you to approach some fans.

Your members were somewhat surprised as you stepped away from them to greet everyone, thanking each of them for coming and supporting you all. Minji could feel her eyes watering at the sight of you trying your absolute best in covering for all of them, even trying to distract fans from noticing their weary state.

“Please be safe when you get home! The others are a little tired so please understand.” You tell them with a meaningful look and you were just grateful to know you had such understanding and thoughtful fans.

Even with the blinding flashes of the camera, you did your best speaking with them until your eyes landed on a few teary eyed Somnias. You felt your throat close up, but you do your best to swallow your emotions before approaching them. “Hey, why are you crying?” You asked and they turn to you with sadness swimming in their glossy eyes.

“We wanted to finally give you all a win, but we couldn’t do it.” One of them answers, your expression softening before you shook your head and opened your arms for them. Giving them both a warm hug, you patted their backs before giving them a small squeeze. “You guys did more than enough. You got us nominated, and that’s a really big thing, so thank you.” You assure them with your best smile,

“We’ll keep working harder, so please don’t be sad.”

Seeing your interaction with the fans pushed tears to Siyeon’s eyes and she had to avert her gaze while Bora wiped at the corner of her own eyes at your selflessness.

It didn’t take long before you came bounding over to your members and you sported a grin as you patted all of them, be it on the arm of back. “Come on, come on! I’m hungry, aren’t you?” You question playfully, earning a giggle from Yubin while Handong reached to pinch your cheeks.

When you turn to your leader, you smile before turning around so your back is facing her then gesture for her to hope onto your back. “Unnie, everyone is slow! Come on, you can get the food faster if you come with me.”

Minji couldn’t help but laugh at your display, her heart warming at your rare carefree personality and knowing that you were doing this for them.

So, without hesitation, she wrapped her arms around your shoulder as you crouched down before allowing you to lift her on her back, laughter bubbling from her lips as you carried her away from the rest of your members while they watched on with smiles on their faces, happy to see your leader a little better compared to earlier.

“Yah! Unnie, be careful!” Gahyeon called out when Minji squealed after you nearly tripped, but you were able to tighten your hold on her legs, securing her on your back before you decided to merely walk instead of run to the van, the older woman’s face tucked comfortably against your neck that you could feel her smiling against your skin.

You didn’t have to go out of your way to check up on her and make her feel better, but she appreciated how you still did so without anyone having to ask you to do it. As quiet as you were, she loved the way you were ready to come to their aid.

“Thank you.” You hear her whisper and you hum while shrugging your shoulders lightly. “It’s nothing, unnie.” Though despite your words, she knows that you were relieved to have her, and the others, smiling as well.

Later that night, there are articles about you and your actions for that day. Pictures of you with fans and Minji, especially, circulate everywhere, but the girls decide that staying off social media would be healthy for them as they happily ate the food that you had asked your managers to bring to the dorm.

“Do you think we should wake her up?” Yubin asked when she glanced to your shared room, but Handong shook her head and smiled after drinking some water. “Jiu unnie did say she’ll take care of Y/n, so we can wait until they’re back.”

“I don’t think I’ve seen Y/n unnie have that much energy.” Yoohyeon commented after chewing her food, Gahyeon nodding in agreement with a tiny smile on her face. “Unnie is honestly so cute. I wanted to cry when she was hugging and comforting Somnias.” The maknae pouted while Bora giggled. “That kid is really unpredicatable sometimes.”

Siyeon scoffed at her claim, chopsticks pointed in the dancer’s direction. “Speak for yourself.” That earned a smack on the arm as Handong burst into laughter, everyone else following after as they exchanged more stories, forgetting about the award show and their previous concnerns.

Meanwhile, Minji looked down at you with a fond smile as you laid on her chest, arms wrapped around her waist as she kept her own around your slightly smaller frame.

As much as she cried earlier, you were able to make her feel better. Even as you slept soundly against her, she would thank you endlessly for being in her life and picking her up whenever she was down.

Somewhere along the way, she realized that some trophy meant nothing compared to the love and support she’s received from the people who surrounded her. While it was nice to have that recognition for the group, she would pick a group that was stable and gave as much as they received any day.

As long as you were among those people, her heart was safe and sound.

Her Aim Was Getting Better

(Ahit ““““““Coffee Shop AU”““““““ rp log)

This is part of an RP between @displacedentities and myself detailing the meet-up between Luka and Vanessa, when she spikes his coffee with the curse. We did this a while back to get a feel for the characters and how that scene would go down, and they nailed it with how they wrote Vanessa. So I asked them if I could post it. Some of the stuff here was written before we had other things established, so some things like Hatties’s age and how long ago they split might be inconsistent with other posts I’ve made, but Enjoy!

(also forgive me for the way i write my parts, I’m not as practiced at writing rip)

(MysticDoodles) Despite the warm paper cup in her hands, Vanessa couldn't deny the chill in her bones. It had yet to go away since that day in court, biting at her skin and hovering just at the base of her brain stem. It always seemed to grow colder whenever she thought about how she got here... the things she'd said. What she almost did to that poor briefcase jockey in the courthouse.

But it didn't matter, anymore. If anything, her mom was happy she lost that case. Losing her husband and... child had stripped away all excuses she had not to throw herself into her work, and her mother was happy. 

Vanessa was not happy. 

In fact, she was seething. 

Luka took everything from her, that day. Her love, her place in their home. His adorable smile, his laugh... they weren't hers anymore. He only gave them to that- little gremlin. The parasite that took his love away from her, her precious nickname given to their daughter. 

Nobody got to be Luka's princess except Vanessa herself. Never again.

She lost the custody battle and her efforts to take Luka's obsession away from him, but she was going to make sure he lost so much more.

Vanessa waited in the autumn breeze, her fingers clenching and unclenching around the coffee cup. Chestnut-infused Columbian. His favorite. A sister cup sat opposite the table, waiting for him. If he was brave enough to show his face. .

(DeusExMakena)  He could see her from his car as he pulled into the parking space, sitting at a table by the large window at the front of the coffee shop. How long had it been now? Around five years, right? Hattie was barely a year old when they split.

He used to get so excited about meeting her, being in her presence, making her smile... and now the very thought of just getting out of his car and making eye contact with her left a pit in his stomach. As much as he'd loved this woman in the past, the way she treated their newborn daughter.... he had to stop thinking about it. Starting this meeting out in an angry mood wouldn't be a good idea.

With a sigh he finally willed himself to leave the vehicle, and just as he looked up their eyes met. The pit in his stomach deepened as he walked up to the cafe doors.

(MysticDoodles) The ice crept up her neck again. Vanessa forced it down, and put up a smile. No reason to start this off as cold as the ice in her veins. 

 Luka can see from her attire that she's doing rather well- financially, anyway. A thick coat against the autumn chill- or maybe from her heart, so closed off- and a scarf stuffed into her bookbag. Her mother must have improved her stipend, now that they split. What a beastly woman. It's pointless to ponder what-ifs at this point, but maybe if Vanessa's mother had been someone else... no. No point.

 With one hand, she gestures to the chair opposite her. Empty and waiting. "Hello, Luka. I got your favorite. You're doing well?" 

 ...the tenor isn't as friendly as it sounds, and feels more plastic than her smile appears.

(DeusExMakena) He hesitates, looking around the venue at the other tennants before wordlessly taking the seat across from her, mostly staring at the coffee cup in front of him.

Why is he having such a hard time looking at her?

"I'm... fine," he manages to force out as he takes the cup in both hands. Come on, man just get this over with and you can go home. "So uh, what brings you here?"

He wishes he could kick himself in the face for how out of place he feels, right now. What do you even say to someone you haven't seen in years, when the last time you saw them had been after an intense battle over the custody rights of the child you fought so hard to protect?

At least the warmth of the cup in his hands provides him with some reassurance.

(MysticDoodles) Something in Vanessa's smile twitches, but it's gone before he can really tell what it was.

"Oh- I just wanted to chat, catch up on old times, you know? I'm guessing the bar exam went well?"

...

Awkward silence, as Vanessa turns her smile away. She lifts her own coffee cup to her lips and takes a long drink, looking at the pavement.When she sets it down, there's a brief moment where her fingertips looked blue. It soon fades back into perfectly trimmed nails.

"...you know why I called you here, Luka. Don't make me lie to you." Her voice grows quiet, though pensive or frustrated is difficult to parse. "You were always better at lying, anyway."

(DeusExMakena) He squints slightly at that last remark and has to do enrything in his power to hold his tongue.

"I dont, actually. With the way things ended the last time we saw eachother, I was almost sure that would be it." he says, probably with a bit more venom in his tone than he should have used, but he was here for less than 10 minutes, now, and he could already feel his patience waning.

"But if you're really just here to reconnect, you'll have to forgive me" he takes a moment to swirl the cup in front of him before lifting it towards his mouth "I'm not very good at small-talk."

Chestnut-infused Columbean bean. Cream and Sugar. So nice to know that she never forgot.

(MysticDoodles) Vanessa smiles as he takes a drink. It's gone by the time he removes the cup again.

"...sorry," she says. Her stony expression shifts into a frown. This wasn't how she expected this conversation to go- but really, she had been expecting nothing, so no pain or gain thus far. "I'm not being very polite, am I? I guess I just- missed you, Luka. It's very different, going back to my mother's apartment after-... well. Being with you."

...

Another quiet sip. Vanessa runs her finger on the plastic cap.

"...do you miss the nights after we studied, when we'd just sit on the couch together and watch garbage movies?"

Before Harriet came along, she didn't say aloud.

(DeusExMakena) Of course he did, he loved her. And as much as he'd love to revisit those moments, to relive the sense of elation he felt when he got her to laugh over awkward acting and nonsensical writing... He just couldn't forgive her for what she did.

He sighs, opting to indulge in her to see where she's going with this.

"Yeah," He takes another sip, looking back down at the table "Sometimes I still wonder why that had to stop."

(MysticDoodles) There's no way he misses the way her fingers tighten on the paper coffee cup. Especially since it's accompanied by an audible pop of paper crumpling in a half inch, and liquid sloshing within.

"They did stop, Luka."

How could he be so blind?

"They stopped when you stopped spending them with me. You spent all your time with our daughter, and not with the loving wife who gave her to you. Don't you see how unfair that is? I deserved your time, too."

Vanessa sighs, her words almost chastising. It reminded of the times she shifted into 'disappointed mother' mode around Harriet. Their one year old, at the time, who didn't understand consequences for things like dropping a toy in the sink. She even had the nerve to sound hurt as she speaks those words.

(DeusExMakena) He is absolutely apalled.

"I-" he doesnt know why he cant find the words to respond. His eyes wide and his eyebrows furrow as he glares directly at her. He shouldnt be surprised by this, really, he saw this coming. Five years, and some things will just never change.

Luka pinches the bridge of his nose, he MARRIED this woman.

"I'm sorry, are we- are we really doing this again?" He sets his coffee cup on the table with a little more force than he wanted to, "You do realize you're getting jealous over a literal one-year old that we both agreed that we wanted to have. I'm her father, I'm sorry, again, for doing my job and raising our child."

(MysticDoodles) Vanessa's long-suffering expression hardens back into stone, pouting out her lip as once more, Luka shows no signs of budging on his stance. How very lawyerlike of him. To the bitter end, he would fight for his side of the case against the opposition. She wished they didn't have to be on opposite sides, anymore, yet here she was for the second time.

"Is it so wrong that I wanted to spend more time with my husband? All toddlers need to learn to share, anyway." Vanessa shrugs, as if this were no big deal. "You never spent evenings with me, anymore, Luka. Every night that you came back from graduate classes and networking with firms, you would go right to her. The honeyed words for me didn't come until dinner, if they came at all. And don't talk to me like I wasn't a good mother- I kept her out of trouble during the day, whenever I was out of rotation."

...

"How is my little Harriet doing? It's been so long since you've squirreled her away."

(DeusExMakena) No. No, no, no, he's not doing this again

"You..." He tries to hold his tongue, but peck, he doesnt want to deal with this right now. He feels his hands ball into fists "No. I'm sorry, no, you don't get to ask how my daughter is doing. You had every opportunity to join us, no one was stopping you from being happy but yourself! You wanna talk about sharing? Then why are you throwing a fit over a over a child spending time with her father?"

 ...

"She wanted a relationship with you, you know. It's... really hard having to explain to a five-year-old that she doesnt get to see her mother because she was too immature to realize 'oh hey! I could hang out with both my daughter AND my husband at the same time!'" He says that last bit in a mocking tone as he picks up his coffee and goes in for another sip, glaring straight at his ex-wife with pure exasperation.

(MysticDoodles) There he goes again. His daughter.

This time, Vanessa doesn't look away as she returns the glare. The medical graduate holds unflinching eye contact as she lifts her own cup and downs half the contents. Trying to make a statement, maybe? She always did have issues with competition.

"...so where does that leave us, then? You drink the coffee I got you, and walk away? Are you really so set on burning this bridge, Luka? Things can go back to the way they were, if you really want it that way. My stipend will get us through the rest of exams, and then we can live a good life together - high paying jobs, a comfortable apartment, as many dates and trashy movie nights as we want. Doesn't that sound wonderful?"

...she didn't say a word about five-year-old Harriet.

(DeusExMakena) Luka takes a moment to stare at her, eyes half-lidded and tired.

He picks up the cup and downs the rest of his coffee, before placing it back on the table and standing up from his seat, his eyes never leaving hers.

"Allow me to light the match for you."

With that, he turns towards the door, ready to leave. Why would he feel bad about burning a bridge that leads nowhere?

(MysticDoodles) Luka can hear the squeal of the metal chair legs as Vanessa stands abruptly from her seat. There's no click of heels on riverstone, but he knows she's got her fists clenched at her sides, watching him. She always did that when she was angry. Maybe this time she'd have some ice on her wrists, now that her abilities were public. She'd put less effort into hiding it after the court case, anyway.

"YOU'RE MAKING A MISTAKE!" Vanessa yells after him as he continues, stride unbroken. "You'll regret this! You won that case, but you'll always be my prince, and I'll always be your princess!"

But legally, she couldn't touch him, now. Luka and Harriet were no longer family. He knew that, and she knew he did.

...

Oh well.

The door closes with a crnk-ling of the bell, and the background noise of the cafe starts to fade back into her awareness. Or lack thereof. Everyone nearby was staring, not that she cared.

Stiffening her upper lip, Vanessa grabs her bag and loops it back over one shoulder. She pats the side, removing the scarf off the copy of 'Ancient Botanicals & You' she'd found at the antique bookshop, and tying the garment back around her neck. With one hand she picks up Luka's cup, and looks inside.

Empty.

A smile traces her lips as she takes it along with her own, and tosses them both into the trash can.

Now all she had to do was wait and see.

Future Hope - chapter 1.5 - Practice Makes Perfect

Our heroes didnt get their powers and knew from night to day how to manage them, especially those who had physical changes to their body. Our soon-to-be heroes were all reunited in Maria's house, they had planed to spend the afternoon practing and exploring their new limits and abilities, all helping eitch other.

They decided since Griff had the biggest change, they would focus on him first. At the moment they were out in backyard, eitch one giving suggestions on what to begin first.

"Pick us all up at once with your new muscles!" Said Muffin excitedly. "That's still too light! Pick us all up plus Maria's car" Said Spike, chewing once again on a bubblegum.

"You all leave Hellride out of this!" Maria responded angrily. "That car was expensive as fuck and I refuse to go back to a life of Ubers!" She crossed her arms, indignified.

"You named your car?" Kip answered from high up a tree branch, as cats do. "I name all my belongings, what of it?" Maria answered. "And they're all cool names, too".

"Hellride? Really?" Spiked scoffed. "Because she rides fast as Hell! Look can we get back on track and find something for Griff to test his strenght?!" Maria answered nervously with a touch of embarrassment.

"Unless we find an Indiana Jones boulder for him to spin on his finger like a damn basketball we arent gonna get any damn progress!" Spike shouted back.

Maria sighed and shook her head. "I hate it when you have a point.." Griff nervously scratched the back of his head. "There must be something we can do.." He quietly mumbled out.

"I got it!" Muffin shouted, they all turned to face her. "I forgot Im a fairy! I can just poof something up!" She said excitedly. Everyone stared at her with either a confused or shocked look.

"..How... Do you FORGET that you're a fairy?!" Spike blurted out nervously. "You have fucking wings! How does one forget they have huge pink glittery wings?!"

Muffin just shrugged.

Maria smiled wide. "OK Muffin, give us something huge and heavy for Griff to use!" Muffin nodded and grabbed her wand which had a muffin on the tip. "Wand cook, beat and bake! Give us a big large and tasty cupcake!" She waved her wand and out appeared from a bunch of pink glittery smoke, a nearly two-story house tall chocolate cupcake.

"... Why a cupcake..?" Blink asked as she peeked behind her mask, in slight awe and wanting to secretly a bite out of it. "I can only make sweets!" Muffin said with a shy tone. "Im not a fighter like you guys, I only want to make people happy and eat candy!"

"That is certainly the biggest pastry I've ever seen! So large and beautiful, I bet tasty as well!" "Not to mention DIABETIC AS HELL!!! We could die from a heart attack eating that! Or worse, we could get fat! Even fatter! And become even uglier then we already are! This is too overwealming I need a nap!"

Rooko and Rooki suddenly spoke, almost taking everyone off guard on how their friend Rook is suddenly two split personalities now based on the Youtube character ENA, one is always happy while the other is always sad, and depending on the situation they can go Manic or Miserable.

"OK Griff, show us what you can do!" Maria shouted excitedly. Without missing a second, Griff bent over and gripped the edge of the massive cupcake, after struggling a bit he slowly but surely, lifted the entire thing over his head, smiling proudly.

His friends cheered and applauded proudly. Feeling satisfied, he dropped the cupcake and dusted the chocolate crumbs off his hands and fur. "Yokusei!" He shouted, and with a naruto-like smoke poof, he turned back to his human self. Maria ran and hugged him tightly, which Griff embraced and hugged back with a slight twirl.

"Griff you were amazing!!" Maria said with a proud tone, Griff slightly blushed pink at the small punk girl and her excitement. "Oh shucks, it was nothing.." He said with a shy tone.

"Well, and seems we concluded Griffin's training." Togekiss said as they took a sip of tea. "He jump twice as high as a two-story house, his punches and kicks can knock down brick walls and possibly more if we werent limited on objects to test it with, he can hear twice as much then a dog could with his ears, and his sense of smell is impecable. Truly Griff is a strong asset to our team."

"I can only train my powers at night.." Said Spooks, holding an umbrella to protect her from the sun, now that it injures her. "Muffin's power is only sweet making. Togekiss has exceptional I.Q and can see simulations in the future like Garnet in Steven Universe, along with their strong telekenisis, and Kip simply draws whatever she desires, whether alive or not and it becomes a reality... That means it's Rook's turn to show us what she can do" She finished.

"Wonderful! It's our time to shine!" "I-I-I not ready! Everyone's gonna laugh at us! I-I might piss myself in fear!" "Oh pull yourself together dear! Our friends wont laugh at us!" "How do we know that?! They're just waiting to correct us on a dumb mistake!!!"

Rook's body shook and twitched as her eyes turned to static, suddenly her entire eyes turned black with a blue iris, she turned Miserable.

"They're gonna laugh and point at our foolish selves, we're gonna be so embarrassed that we'll wish that the Earth will swallow us whole and just fucking kill us now!! Go ahead! Laugh at us and our misfortune!!!"

"ooh shit" Maria said. "can someone calm her down?"

Rook's eyes change to regular as her Miserable side went away. "No need my good Queen! We are completly fine! Now prepare to be dazzled as we show you all what we can do!" q

Rook pulled out a harry potter-like wooden wand, waved it around. "Bloom and Blossom and protect who I love! Rise my pretties, rise high and above!" Rooki shot an orange light at the grass, which made dozens of flowers bloom and grow around Spike and Blink.

"This is only one of my tricks! It's a shield that protects them from almost anything! My main weakness is fire, because while plants are beautiful, they are also sadly very, very flammable"

"Cool." Said Spike before using his bat to aggressivly hit the flowers and the vines aside so he and Blink could leave.

"M-M-My turn I guess!" Rook took hold of the wand and waved it in circles. "Razzle Dazzle Shine and Show, make their body move it low!" Rooko shot a blue light at Spooks, which made unwillingly and uncontrolably start dancing and as the spell said, make her go low.

"O-OH GOD SOMEONE MAKE IT STOP I DONT LIKE HOW MY BUTT IS MOVING THIS MUCH!!" She shouted in desperation as she made a split and moved it even lower.

"M-My deal is with music! I-It works as a way of distraction o-or hypnosis and it lasts for 30 minutes un-le-less I say otherwise! I-I know it's a sucky power!"

"OK COOL CAN I STOP DANCING PLEASE IM GETTING A CRAMP!!!" Yelled Spooks, practically begging. Rooko flicked her wand and Spooks fell on the ground, panting. "OH MY POOR HAMSTRINGS THEY ACHE!!" She yelled in utter pain, meanwhile Maria and Spike were absolutely losing it.

"O-OH GOD MY STOMACH HURTS-" Said Spike in between laughter.

"OK you guys cool it" Said Blink. "It's our turn to practice now. We're the only ones who use regular weapons." She said drawing her sword and positioning her mask back in place.

"O-OK! OK!" Maria said getting up, she pulled out a small staff and whipped it, making it stretch out wide into a full, large red and black scythe, with a rose print on the blade. Spike spun his bat and spat his gum out.

"So. Who's ass Im kicking first?" Said Spike. "Wait on second thought this might be unfair." Said Blink. "Me and Maria had blades while Spike has a bat, maybe we should-"

Before she could finish, Spike swung his bat and hit Blink sword, knocking it out of her hand before kicking her back at the ground. Blink fell back hard before she could even process what happen, dumbfounded but angry, she snarled. "Oh it's on now Motherfucker." She extended her hand and the sword flew back to her hand, as she charged towards Spike, who moved out of the way as soon as Blink swung her sword, which if he hadnt been for Maria's scythe, would have sliced her right up.

"Dude! Chill! This is a pratice!" Maria spoke as both of their blades were against eitch other. Blink hopped and flipped over her and landed on a tree branch, croutching like a ninja. She put her hands together and in a small puff of smoke and disappeared. Spike and Maria were back to back, ready to counterattack Blink, what they didnt expect was for her to attack from underground.

Buring up from the dirt, she got both of them off their feet and charged after Spike, who barely managed to regain his balance before his using bat his block Blink's sword. A back and forth of clash-clings-and-clangs between metal begun, one attacking the other but eitch blocking every attack again and again.

Spike ducked a sword slash and roundhouse kick Blink's leg, which was effective since she's practically a ninja. She backflipped back on her feet and kept attacking swiftly. But a sudden scythe blade cut in between them, stopping the fight.

"That's enough!!!" Maria shouted. "You both are gonna end up hurting yourselves or eitch other! im ending it now!!"

"Oh what the hell dude?!" Blink shouted indignified. "I was about to beat him!!" "Oh please." Answered Spike. "Was that the best you could do? Sakura could do a better job kicking my ass" He scoffed. They began to argue loudly, genuinely angry at eitch other.

"THAT"S ENOUGH!!!!" Maria shouted, making them, and everyone else look at her.

"It doesnt matter would win that fight! This was a practice and not a competition!! The point of us being a team and getting powers in the first place was for all of us to make the world a better place, but the only way that can happen is if all of us work together!! As a team!!!"

They stood in silence, listening to her talk and set them straight.

"As cheesy as that sounds, it's true!! We shouldnt fight eitch other like this, you're not just my friends, we're all friends with eitch other! We all go along well and we know that, that's why I got you all together, because no one can bond better in a team then all of us together!!!"

"... She's right." Togekiss added, walking towards them. "We all started as simple individuals with free time on a website, but we all shared common interests, we grew closer.. And suddenly like that, we all became friends.. A family, if you will."

"We take care of eitch other and look out for one another." Said Spooks.

"Just like how you all did for me.. When I almost died. Almost died because of the shit and violent world we live in." Maria said.. With a slight crack in her voice.

"You're bringing in the same violence that almost killed me.. So please.. Please stop fighting.. We're all in this together.. Right..?"

Spike and Blink dropped their weapons and hugged Maria, and everyone else joined in as well.

"You're right, we're sorry Queen." Said Spike. "We got overwhealmed and we didnt mean it. We wont fight again, because you're right." Added Blink.

"We only have eitch other in this world, and if we want to change it we have to stick together, just like you said." Spike said one more time.

"And we wont let you down.. We promise.." Griff finished, with everyone agreeing with what he said.

And so they stayed for a moment, embraced within eitch other in a group hug. A family isnt perfect, there will be disagreements, but a good bond will always overcome those disagreements, and that's what they had, a good bond.

A bond that's practically unbreakable and untaintable. A bond that will soon be ready, and fight together to make the world a better place.

A bond that will the world's Future Hope..

been gaining weight pretty quickly this month (which is good! i’m glad i seem to be improving a lot with eating normally again and my stomach is slowly tolerating things better) and i’m pretty disaociated from my body i didnt realize how much i lost before its kinda wild the few moments of clarity i did have (like it wasnt objectively a shocking image just in comparison to my typical weight throughout the past few years) and now ive only started realizing ive gained weight again because my boobs keep ffucking hurting like i’m going through puberty again to a lesser extent i havent worn bras regularly in like a year and a half (and no i dont have small ones i know a lot of people with breasts my size think its something they physically cant do or w/e but really as long as you dont care about looking “saggy” (so what lol) physically i think its actually felt better for me than the “support” of a bra i only wear sports bras with button ups to avoid when they open up) but yeah god i might need to wear one for a bit again just bc they hurt lol i think this maybe is a sign to start actively pursuing transition stuff again soon

wait actually coming back to this like an hour later bc i was curious what my bra size is and

why is sizing so complicated it should not be this hard what

i think i only thought i knew how it worked before because i wayyyy measured myself wrong

what are you even supposed to do for measuring when the middle of them sags well below where your band measurement is

trying to look this up just made me angry because instead of tips for properly measuring i only got “prevent saggy breasts” “saggy breasts are a problem that effects some women when they age or breast feed heres our special expensive bras to treat them” like literally shut up theres nothing “wrong” about it thats literally just how things are gonna be for most people with larger breasts. i should not be surprised but even the smallest forays into femininity never fail to disappoint me

thought i was like a 36~38D~DD but i’m actually like . somewhere in the broad category of 32~34F~K no matter which method of measuring/chart i used. which is wild because at only slightly less than i am now i thought i was a B cup for ages just because i wore the tightest sports bras lolol

so lol yeah i already wasn’t planning on buying any more bras but like. that cements it bc thats even more expensive and inaccessible

also maybe some of my posture issues are from my boobs??? but bras did literally nothing for that. granted they werent the right size i’m learning now but i don’t like their general feeling or how they look on me or anything. binding also isn’t possible most of the time for me anymore with my fibro and chronic fatigue and how it exacerbates back problems/muscle and rib pain/preexisting shortness of breath so i’m actually really happy with where i’ve come to in the past couple years in feeling comfortable with my breasts as they naturally sit/look and not feeling constantly aware of them and just letting them be and part of my body just wearing what i wear without bras. i still am pretty sure i’d like top surgery because aesthetically it’d be easier for me and it’d make a lot of outfits less of a hassle to pull off and button ups would be easier because i wouldnt have to choose between camis when its hot out and ill fitting sports bras. and like. yeah i still have some gender dysphoria (for lack of a better term. idk how to say it shortly without getting into All That personally) surrounding them but i think its a lot less central than it used to be when i had to think about wearing bras and even binders and stuff they just felt a lot more central to my life and alien while now i could deal with them probably outside of the still consistent but less constant reminders of 1. i am a person who is perceived by others and 2. sometimes just. objectively physically they are uncomfortable and annoying and 3. the taboo on showing them in our world and how our clothing is structured doesnt help

spy!bts // kim namjoon

♥ angst and fluff (warning: mentions of violence and minor gore)

♥ 3.3k words

♥ WARNING: mentions of violence and blood and slight gore if you’re not into that

kim namjoon is known for his ‘sexy’ brain - the way he can quickly strategize a getaway in less than a minute or how he’s always a part of creating another new invention with yoongi and jungkook

namjoon helps with providing the information on what they lack on while yoongi works on the functionality of the weapon and jungkook does the overall design

but thats not all when it comes to him

sure he’s a little clumsy at times, breaking his cartridge somehow and having to make do with a knife and still managing to pull through

but he’s pretty agile when he puts his mind to it

he would be able to sneak past guards swiftly, dislocating their necks with quick movements and squeeze through vents that were wayy too narrow and small for his tall and wide stature

but even with his outstanding abilities, he doesnt let it get to his head, ensuring that his teammates are way more important and having to put them first before himself

he was truly that kind of leader anyone would look up to and its amazing how it’s a natural part of his personality

he is also the reason why jungkook joined forces because he thought namjoon looked super cool when he tackled the punching bag like a monster

and its just an unspoken thing that namjoon still sees jungkook as a baby when he’s fully capable of knocking out a whole army of soldiers with a simply pistol and knife

*cue jungkook doing his silly dance moves while on mission and namjoon watches over him like a proud dad*

he may or may not join in and accidentally knock out a bodyguard while doing so

sometimes namjoon is too preoccupied with thinking up a storm that at least one of the younger boys have to follow him

the three youngsters always play rock paper scissors because they just Dont Know what will happen when they’re with namjoon

one time taehyung went on a mission with him and both of them nearly got their legs cut off from a chainsaw

or the time jimin went with him and needed to wear an eyepatch for an entire week because namjoon somehow managed to light the flare right in his face

you on the other hand, knows how to avoid his unintended attacks like a professional

people even think you might have a third eye that sees the future or something

because you managed to dodge nearly all of namjoon’s ‘accidents’

but that’s mainly because you’ve grown up with him nearly all your life

and sustained at least 457 injuries throughout your childhood

that boy from ilsan has grown up with you

although the career the both had right now was definitely not something the both of you would imagine

you’re still very grateful to know that the both of you share the same job and you were relived that he wasn’t going to do something so dangerous alone

despite the many dodging you have done, even the smallest things hurt you sometimes

for example, that time where namjoon accidentally chipped a cup and forgot about it so he used it to serve you and it cut your lip

you didn’t really mind but namjoon kept apologizing to you every half an hour for a week straight until you literally had to knock some sense into him

but even with his clumsy ways, he still managed to look out for you during missions and cover for you when you need it

he would literally run an entire mile to save you from a bunch of qualified soldiers even though you could handle them yourselves

but he’s very adamant on keeping promises, especially the one he made with your mom when he was 5, promising that he would protect you no matter what

and it gets pretty annoying sometimes, because he also includes nagging at you and making up rules as protecting you

“you have to sleep right now, we have a mission at 6 in the morning tomorrow,”

“but it’s only 10,”

“did i fking stutter?”

“this is why i like RJ more than you,”

yes,,, that’s jin’s codename dont even question it 

and honestly, it might have hurt to hear you say that whenever he nags at you, his intention only being the best for you in mind

and maybe because he doesnt just see you as his childhood friend

but whenever jin brings up the topic about how he always boss you around like your mom even though the rest gets away with it

he would always say because he doesnt want you to get hurt

and that was definitely true 

because seeing you in pain would only make himself suffer, and he didnt want to put up with either of that

remember that cut you had on your lip from the chipped cup, he actually genuinely felt super guilty about it 

so any of your injuries would be tended by jimin while namjoon tries to avoid you until your fully bandaged and treated

and you Know™

the both of you have been best friends for so long, how could you not tell how he felt in that moment??

and every time that flash of guilt in his eyes appear when he sees you get grazed by a gunshot or a knife??

but you dont mention it and instead lighten up the mood by doing silly things with the boys and eventually force him to join in

the wounds hurt when you move but seeing him so down hurts even more

i guess thats what love is called or sumn hohoho

another day comes and it doesnt really come to your attention until namjoon sends an alert to all your phones to have an impromptu meeting in the living room

as soon as everyone gathered, some still drowsy from their naps while others had just arrived back from a mission, namjoon stands by the coffee table while the rest took a seat on the couches

“we’ve got another mission for us in about 12 hours or so. Agust, i need you to be on watchout by the roof, bunny and calico will be the driveaway car. V and sunshine , you’ll be on the left wing while me and angel will get the right wing. rj, i need you to be the eagle eye and watch over the security cameras. we’ll talk about this in detail after 6 hours. everyone got it?” 

everyone nodded at once, taking in all the information while they got into their pairs to discuss things before the next meeting

you looked back to namjoon, worry in his eyes as he paced back and forth - it seemed like this mission was a bigger one than the others

“joon, what’s up?” you whispered, bringing him to the corner of the room as he sighed

“we’re going to infiltrate a highly-secured building where they keep the most treasured jewels and the boss needs us to make a clean escape no matter what,” he cursed under his breath, running a hand through his hair

it was probably the fifth time he had done that throughout the last ten minutes

“hey, look at me,” you put on a small smile

and with slight hesitation, he looks back into your glimmering eyes full of hope

and he feels he might be in too deep - his heart beating a mile per minute and the sound of his surroundings began to fade and his ears only focused on you

“you’re the smartest guy around here, and i’m definitely sure you’ll come up with at least something before the next meeting. besides, the others are just as capable, believe in them and we’ll succeed. Stop worrying, big guy,”

you chuckled, knocking his head slightly with your forefinger, eliciting a soft dry chuckle from his lips

“thank you, angel. now let’s get to planning,” he smirked half-heartedly, moving to the basement where all the excessive planning were made

with the help of energy drinks, coffee and jin’s snacks, the both of you managed to come up with three different routes

the first was the safest, yet took the longest

while the other two was much more riskier and needed all of you to put at least 200% of your efforts put into it

and if any of you didnt, it would either result in permanent injury, or worse, death

but namjoon tried his best to stray away from that topic, and was persistent on following plan A as much as possible

it was the least he could do to ensure your safety and the others

six hours pass in a blink of an eye, and everyone was gathered and ready with a list of suggestions to ensure the success of the mission

with the help of yoongi’s new and improved equipment as well as thorough planning on everyone’s part, nearly two-thirds of the planning was done

all that was left was to check if everything and everyone was in order

and then the actual thing would begin

time passes, and thirty minutes were left

jin took his seat by the multiple monitors, checking each and everyone’s navigating device as well as their in-ears

yoongi had already went to the destination an hour earlier to check on things while he set up his sniper and telescope

jungkook and jimin prepped up the car once they were done suiting up and preparing disguises when needed 

while you, namjoon, taehyung and hoseok had slipped into your bulletproof vests and lightweight boots and choosing the preferred weapon 

once the codename for the mission to begin had been uttered by joon, everyone went into full effect and ran to their spots

with swift movements and constant scanning of the area, you anf namjoon managed to get half way through the tight security

of course, having to ‘hurt’ a little more than a handful of people

while taehyung and hoseok crawled through the vents since the left wing’s structure barely had any blind spots for them to squeeze into

after nearly an hour and a half of crawling and sticking your backs to walls, you and namjoon managed to find the room where the required jewels were kept and protected

while namjoon deciphered the passcode, you were on lookout, eyes scanning every side of the hallway while your finger remained on the trigger

as soon as you caught shadows coming from the right, you signalled namjoon to go faster, heart pumping through your chest yet your words remained calm and cool

“shadows. how many more minutes?” you questioned him, your arms getting into position as you focused your silencer onto the approaching targets

“3 minutes at most. alert rj if you’re shooting,” as soon as you captured sight of the guards you were all ready to shoot

“rj, camera at the core,” you whispered, focusing your silencer onto one of their foreheads

“roger that, angel,” as soon as he had been alerted, with a quick push of your finger, a bullet shot through, killing the guard in an instant while the other had their firearms aimed right back at you

you aimed at the second guard as quick as you could and shooting him right between his eyes as well

but just as you did, he was able to shoot right through your left arm, leaving you hissing in pain while namjoon finally managed to unlock the room

“hey angel- shit. apply pressure, we’re almost done,” namjoon whispered, placing his arm above yours which you had been covering the wound from bleeding any further

“we got held back a little at the left wing but we’re here now,” a familiar voice softly echoes from above you

taehyung unhinged the vent’s opening, placing it to the side and hopping out, hoseok following suite

before they could speak about your injury, namjoon interrupted, “v, stay here with angel. me and sunshine will get the jewel and once i tell you the signal, the both of you take route B,”

taehyung didnt have the heart to go against his words, the aura namjoon emitted just from his expression told taehyung that there were no time for discussion

before namjoon could enter the laser-filled room, you held him back by his sleeve and shot him a smile “stop worrying in that big head of yours and get that damn jewel,”

a small smile crept onto his lips, yet worry never left his features

as namjoon and hoseok disappeared into the room, taehyung tended to your wounds with the mini first aid box jimin had made for everyone

the bullet was probably still lodged in your arm but taehyung had to make sure the wound had been disinfected before tying it up from wrapping a quick bandage over it

whilst you looked out for anymore oncoming guards

amidst the silence, taehyung was curious and he could never really contain that curiosity

“so you confessed to him yet?” taehyung looked back into your wide ones before returning his attention to tying up the bandage

“we’re on a mission, v. not now,” you groaned rubbing your temples with your free arm

“i’m just asking. besides you should do that soon before i do it myself,” he shrugged, tying a second knot to ensure it doesnt fall off

“or i’ll help tell too,” a voice echoed in your intercoms, mischievous giggles you could never mistake for someone else

“rj i swear to god, you’re supposed to watch out for us, not listen into our conversations so you can, i dont know, ‘spill the tea’.” once your wound was treated, you held up your rifle and watched out for the hallway on the right while taehyung watched out for the left

but when the sound of alarms rang throughout the building, you just knew namjoon and hoseok had already gotten their hands on the jewels

but you werent leaving until namjoon had given the word

“get ready, v. this is gonna be a bumpy ride,” you huffed, aiming your gun to the right while taehyung looked through his scope “i’m always ready,” he smirked

with every bullet you fired, the burning sensation in your wound grew even more, but you couldnt let the pain distract you from one of the most important missions that you had been given

and if namjoon were to know the pain you were in, he wouldn’t let you out of headquarters for an entire month

once the first wave of guards were wiped out, namjoon’s voiced echoed throughout everyone’s intercoms, taehyung giving you a knowing look as you nodded your head

with the rush of adrenaline, you and taehyung made way for route B, never letting your guard down as you fetched a grenade from your pocket

once you entered a single hallway, you blew up the side the both of you had entered from and kept running

and as much as your lungs burned and the pain in your arm began to worsen, you couldnt let it bring you or anyone else down

the door at the end of the hallway swings open

and you’re more than relieved to see jimin and jungkook, even if your eyes had tricked you at first glance from their disguises

“quicken your pace slowpokes, the rest are already catching up,” jungkook teased, jogging off to start the truck while jimin made sure you came out of there before the soldiers could

once everyone had hopped into the truck, jimin checked your wounds for infections 

but taehyung did an amazing job at keeping it clean and covered

“rj, any sign of rm or hope?” you groaned into your intercoms, jimin redoing your bandages as you looked out for any possible danger

but jin doesnt reply and your panic rises

jimin carefully ties up the bandage and watches over your frightened expression, your brows furrowing even more with every breath you took

“rj?rj?”

“calm down angel, he’s probably helping them in escaping. we’ll see them when we get back to headquarters, alright? remember the rule?” taehyung reassured you, looking at you through the rear-view mirror

“get back safe at all cost when he says the word,” you grumble, putting your attention to the grim scenery outside

something didnt feel right but orders were orders

once everyone alighted from the truck, jimin took out the necessary medicine for the wounds he had to treat

“if its just a cut, wash it and you’ll be fine,” jimin shooed the rest away as he tended to you on the sofa

“why does she get all the treatment,” taehyung raises a brow, tossing his bulletproof vest to the side 

“because unlike some of you, she’s an actual angel,” jimin shrugged, picking out his tweezers and a cotton ball drenched in alcohol

“it’s gonna hurt but we cant have you with a bullet in your arm for the rest of your life,” he chuckled, handing you a handkerchief to bite and relieve the pain onto as he began his work

in half an hour, jimin managed to remove the bullet and close up the wound, not allowing the others to disturb you while you went to rest in your room

but all you could do was pace around your room, your fingers fidgeting around with anything you could get a hold of

a soft knock on your door made you think it was jimin

but when you finally see the face that had been in your head the past few hours, you let out a long and relieved sigh

“missed me too much?” he chuckled until you nearly knocked him down with your hug

“hell yeah i did. you think i wouldnt?” you mumbled into his sweaty and stained clothes

but you didnt mind because he was finally back, safe and sound and in one whole piece

“did your get your wound treated?” he asked, gently peeling you off of him to check your arm while you were too busy admiring his face

you were so in the moment to not realize namjoon staring back at you

“dont ever do that again,” you mumble, a slight tremore in your voice but your eyes remain in contact with his

“angel you know i had to-”

“how can i let my childhood crush run out there like some dumbass. you think i can stand to lose my best friend?”

you were teary-eyed at this point, while he looked back at you in confusion and concern

“wait what was the first part?” he muttered, unsure if what he heard was true or not

“i like you a lot you idiot. why do you think i always cuddle up to you after a mission, or when you’re the one who worries the hell out of me the most or that-”

you were cut off with his lips planted on yours and you could feel his lips curl into a small smile

once he parted away from you, his smile stretched so far that his dimples seemed to deepen with every second

while your cheeks turned bright red under his gaze

“i’ve been waiting too long to hear that from you,”

“then you should’ve grown a pair and confessed to me, you handsome dork,” playfully nudging him

until namjoon once again, loses his footing and tumbles onto the floor, bringing you along with him onto the hard floor

the both of you groaned in pain

but your door swings open, revealing jimin with bag of medicine but his face who once had a concerned smile on his face turned into a devilish smirk

“so the lover birds finally confessed huh? and already skipping many bases,,, i’ll just leave so the both of you can continue,”

jimin giggled like a high school girl as he closed the door 

but the shout of announcement that vibrated the walls was a clear sign that the others were NOT going to let the both of you live

a/n: im just gonna post whatever i want at this point and finish up all my wips :///

➵ @fxmiliarity​​ //: [ headcanons - accepting ]

💔 [ PART 3/3 ]

💔: Have they ever had their heart broken? If so, why or how did it happen?

yes. he has. and more times than he will ever, EVER, admit to. though i suppose i will do it in order. just to give you some sort of timeline. keep in mind that despite being a gaurded man, claude really managed to get his heart broken more than once. however, something to keep in mind is that there are different ways to break a heart - and there are different reactions to it. I don’t think he’s ever had his heart broken the same way more than once.

the first real heartbreak is with @valhoil​ ‘s alfonse. but this one is simply a bit more tragic and not really like... something alfonse did per se. well i suppose its more like this: it couldn’t be stopped. you know? whatever happened with alfonse it’s not like he regrets anything that happened. he doesn’t regret being with him, and he will never take that back. he will retain those memories until the end of his days, but it was more of a ‘I have to move on because alfonse would want me to’ sort of thing. 

let it be known right now, alfonse dies. he will die. it’s a thing that we have discussed. alfonse dies. he will die. it is inevitable. regardless if claude knows this or not, when he does find out and when it does happen - claude is absolutely devestated by his death ( or finding out that he’s going to die ). Depite that, he refuses to leave alfonse until he is basically relieved of that sense of duty to stand beside him. Even then he still lingers in zenith for quite some time before returning back to fodlan. he needs time to recover because yes, he is heartbroken. they are still fairly young when alfonse dies. and claude is absolutely overwhelmed with grief. after all. Alfonse was somebody he truly loved immensely with all of his heart. he gave everything to him. 

alfonse, perhaps, is the first person that claude destroyed his walls completely for, and when he’s the only one there after everything, it hits really hard. he feels cold, and alone. 

and keep in mind. claude is absolutely ANGRY with alfonse too. he can never hate him, but he just feels so drained. like when alfonse dies, for a moment, he feels so very lost. 

but its the sense of duty that pulls him back. with alfonse no longer alive, nothing is keeping him in zenith anymore. so he is able to return to fodlan. And keep in mind, he doesn’t know what’s become of fodlan and almyra. he assumes nothing has changed because zenith is a strange land that does strange things. 

So when claude returns back home, he returns to a state of when he had left fodlan. ( so he’s basically not older anymore, hes the same age as before when he first came to zenith ) Something to keep in mind is that zenith very much has that ‘narnia’ effect on the heroes. so they will come back to their worlds at the same time they had left. like nothing changed. anyway... moving on...

so after alfonse -- cause claude retains his memories of zenith ( at least the ones with alfonse ) -- claude tends to be a bit more cold and withdrawn to ‘falling’ for another person. this is because he doesnt want another heartbreak like alfonse. he knows thats not what alfonse would have wanted and yet, claude is just more scared of tearing down his walls again for another lover. 

keep in mind that calude always has had the intention of keeping his heart closed off for others. alfonse just so happened to be somebody who changed his mind. and now that he’s gone, he’s reverted back to that old idea. 

But let’s also look at something else.... claude DOES get his heart broken. but not in a way he had expected.

He considered edelgard and dimitri as valuable friends. FRIENDS! yes, he cherished them both immensely. while he was gaurded with both of them at times, he still had moments that he very much loved with them both. so.... when he finds out about edel and what she’s been doing? on TOP of what dimitri does to him? yea, its devestating to him. 

edel doesn’t want claude to get in her way and be forceful with him ( but at least gives him a chance to back down ) and dimitri would kill him in less than a heartbeat. It goes back to the battle of gronder. Claude is absolutely heartbroken by what has become of everything. 

But know this. edel is the one that breaks his heart first. like. this is prior to the battle of gronder. because by the time that battle happens, he knows already which side he is going to most likely be with. like i have mentioned in my other post, claude choses to go at edel gaurd first cause she’s the one that broke his heart first. ( at this time, claude still has some sort of faith in dimitri despite the frayed relationship - he hadn’t spoken to dima in years, but he didn’t give up on him. ) rather... he knows that edel is going to be harder to deal with the longer the battle goes with her, so he HAS to take her out first. 

he feels a sense of betrayal from edelgard after all. which is why he’s so tense with her. he just wants her out of the way so he can at least FIX whatever relationship he may still have with dimitri. cause yea. he understands dimitri’s pain. he may not understand all of it. but like... he can see the reasoning behind dimitri’s actions. which is why he doesn’t want to deal with ‘that’ until after he deals with edelgard.

it’s most likely the battle of gronder that dimitri begins to break claude’s heart. its during that battle that claude is hit with so much. and its during him dealing with edelgard that it happens. claude sees that dimitri doesn’t move until AFTER claude has done most of the work with edel. 

dimitri begins to move his army and attack in the middle of claude’s fight with edel’s army. and its just that moment where claude’s heart and stomach are in his throat for a moment. he feels absolutely sick. Like he knew that dima would have probably waited until edel’s forces were weakened. and for a split second, he thinks, okay well... maybe he’ll help...

he’s sorely mistaken when he sees that dimitri is sending out his troops towards his own people. its when claude sees how dimitri reacts when his own people fall at the hands of claude that claude’s heart breaks. 

the blood of the dead is on claude’s hands, yes, he was forced to in order to survive and protect his companions. however he will probably never forget dimitri’s reaction to them in that moment. as if it never mattered. as if.... they were just there to help dimitri move forward with his goal.

I think in that moment, claude realises how messed up dimitri really is. and that terrifies him cause he knew it was bad, but he wasn’t prepared for just how bad it was. not only that, but after all that is said and done, he doesn’t even have the nerve to keep fighting. in fact, he has to PULL himself out of the battle. he doesn’t finish dimitri off. he genuinely is unravelling himself in the middle of that battle, and instead of pushing forward -- he commands everybody to rereat. 

yea, basically. claude kills half of dima’s army, realises that dima doesn’t care, causes claude to panic, and claude retreats. he will not waste his resources or sacrifice any more lives for this. dima had lost that fight the moment claude won against edel and forced her to retreat. 

now i think i still have really discuss this more in depth with @bleiddyd​ ( even though we have talked like about so many other possibilities ) about it cause. yea. i do like to think that maybe..... dima survives that batte. however, its not because he walks out alive. no... Claude... goes back for dimitri. and yea... 

even though he is devestated. even though he’s broken. even though he knows that maybe dimitri is probably lost. claude probably will never let himself down if he just abandons dimitri like that. 

you have to realise. while edelgard hurt claude, claude would never wish for her death. and it is the same for dimitri. claude is not that type of person. so yea... claude will go back. to make an attempt to save dimitri from death. its basically. waiting until he’s too weak to fight back, and taking him back to heal him up.

claude really at this point is overwhelmed with so much emotion but he basically just commands others to keep dimitri alive -- however! he doesn’t forgive dima immidiately for what he’s done. it takes him DAYS before he is able to face dima. and talk to him. unfortunately dima is also out of it too. so by the time these two actually do finally talk between one another.. its probably weeks, if not months after the whole ordeal. 

also know this: dimitri breaks claude’s heart. yes. but dimitri - in a way - is also the one that slightly mends it back together. or rather. the thought of keeping dimitri alive is what makes it possible. and its not out of love. not at first. i don’t think claude falls in love with dima quickly like that. i think its more like a. ‘i am keeping you alive out of spite’ but then it turns into something else. i think that whole i hate you cause you really hurt me, but i cant hate you enough to see you die really hits hard for claude.

yes, claude forgives dimitri. i think after some time, it just happens. and yes, after having his heart broken before, claude has come to understand that sometimes.... things happen. he didn’t mean for his heart to break, but time and time again he realises that despite everything.... he’s managed to pick himself up. but its also something else. claude’s goals are what keeps claude alive. and he sees that people aren’t perfect. life tends to throw things your way to slow you down, but you have to pick yourself up. 

to put it in sum: claude’s heart breaks about a total of 3 times.  one is something he couldn’t really do anything about. he has to move on.  the other two. he could have moved on. and. well... he kind of does. at least with the second time with edel, he moves on. it’s that thrid time that he doesn’t.

that third time, i think it’s more like he tries to mend it instead of moving on. cause clearly the first two times of moving on dont work and he’s absolutely TIRED of dealing with the bullshit that comes with dealing with a broken heart. and he’s tried of just running and ignoring it. so i think its a mix between spite as well as frustration and determination on trying to fix something instead of running away. and that itself is good. cause it shows that claude is capable of finally admitting to things and finally admitting that running away from your problems doesn’t always help.

even if claude doesn’t end up with dimitri, their relationship does end up becoming better than it was. and i think that’s so good. thats the great part about healing.

Post-Moonless predictions— Ritsu and Nagisa (9/10)

previous part<–[here] –> next part

for the last week or so, i’ve been talking about a large theory i’ve been writing. since finishing it, i’ve decided to publish it in parts, since it’s actually about 10 different theories all on one subject. since it’s all written out, i’ll try to be publishing one part of this per day.

essentially, this is a set of theories about what i believe will have to happen in order to properly lead up to a climax–the one we’ve been building up to for years and years now. so, these are what i theorize will happen after the first moonless vs beloved battle, broken up into ten different parts. each theory is explained and theres images for each one.

table of contents (bolded is the post you’re looking at):

moonless and beloved will rematch (1)

soubi will fall into a deep depression and possibly become suicidal (2)

ritsuka will arrive at seven voices, SM’s activity will be revealed (3)

SM will reveal that there was a mole in their organization (4)

kio will be the one to take ritsuka to goura (5)

ritsuka will find things out about soubi and the aoyagi family (6)

SM’s true purpose will be revealed. ritsuka will have to make a decision about good vs evil (7)

seventh SM member will be revealed (8)

nagisa will find out what really happened to sanae (9)

ritsuka will be asked to join SM to fill the aoyagi seat (10)

Theory: nagisa will find out what actually happened to sanae and it will trigger a chain reaction that will leave ritsu disabled and completely alone in the world. 

while i said that ritsuka’s storyline with SM will be tied up, there’s still storylines within SM and between the council members that needs to be cleared up. one of the biggest ones is the relationship and bad blood between ritsu and nagisa.

i often seen ritsu and nagisa’s relationship being portrayed very badly and incorrectly. nagisa is absolutely not head-over-heels in love with ritsu. she is using ritsu as a replacement for something she once lost, something that when she lost it, it left her feeling very alone, empty, and abandoned. nagisa even tells natsuo this, stating that she does not love ritsu, but they’re mutually using each other, and she’s doing it so she can feel less empty and alone inside. nagisa even goes on to say that she hates ritsu partially for his part in losing the thing that meant everything to her, and i dont really think this is nagisa being dramatic.

(i dont know what you think a loving relationship is, even one-sided, but it’s not this.)

nagisa and ritsu’s relationship is not a healthy one. it will never be a healthy one. theyre both using each other. nagisa knows and admits this. one side is a narcissist who’s been horribly obsessed with a woman for the past 25 years and the other side is a woman who has never been able to let go of a death and has gone as far as human experimentation to try to fix the void that she feels. their relationship is shown to be horrible, even if it’s played mostly for comedy, with ritsu purposefully hurting nagisa to get a rise out of her and nagisa being thrown into a violent, screaming rage around him.

(mostly played for laughs, but actually kind of concerning when you think about it.)

even during the scene where nagisa discovers ritsu’s injury, she has a complete breakdown in which she screams about being terrified of being left alone again and begs ritsu and natsuo and youji to not leave her.

nagisa is still deeply affected by death. it seems to affect everything she does. she even created a child in the image of her deceased sister to ease the pain and then tried to throw him away when it didn’t work.

in the chapters showing nagisa and sanae’s life before sanae’s death, nagisa is very focused on sanae. it does seem to be a healthy sibling relationship, unlike that of the aoyagi brothers, even if nagisa is a bit overprotective. nagisa states that sanae was the center of her universe. i dont know what the sagan sisters’ home lives were like when they were kids, but if nagisa was treated anything like how she treats natsuo and youji, then it wasn’t good and it would make sense why she was hurting so badly afterwards.

and then, sanae died, and nagisa blamed a lot of people. she blamed akio for strange reasons and by extension her son, soubi, and she blamed ritsu to a lesser degree. i have no doubt that she also blamed (blames) herself, as well, and is slightly projecting that hate onto other people.

(nagisa very often splits on people and goes from idolizing them to hating them and back and forth. she also has extremely unregulated emotions. more on that in a different post about mental health.)

from the way sanae died, it’s very heavily implied to be a suspicious death. she cant swim, but she also drowned in knee-deep water and seems to have been held under by something/someone. while others may not agree, i do strongly suspect that it was ritsu who drowned her.

(knee deep water...?)

nothing else really makes sense to me. no one else has a motive. nagisa didnt have a motive and neither did akio, who didnt seem to know who took her ring and doesn’t appear to have the personality of someone who would murder a child for it. nagisa loved her sister dearly and none of the other students seemed to have an issue with her, though they did know about her real personality. the only person who wanted to get rid of her was her sacrifice, ritsu, and as an adult, he is incredibly dismissive of her death. he was annoyed with her presence, didn’t seem to like her as a fighter, and she had made him irrationally angry by playing a (admittedly harsh) prank on someone he fell in love with. furthermore, she seemed to have dropped the ring by accident when he yelled at her and didn’t appear to have purposefully lost it. even if he didn’t kill her, he logically knew that she couldn’t swim, as the sagan sisters and he were childhood friends, and willingly walked away from her while she was in water. regardless, he does seem to be keeping secrets about her death and everything surrounding it is incredibly suspicious. 

nagisa and ritsu have a very unhealthy, turbulent relationship as is, and i dont see anything fixing this. nagisa holds onto ritsu because hes the only connection she has left to her dead sister and ritsu holds onto nagisa because he has a need to control everything and everyone around him, and nagisa is easy to control. they both enable and hurt each other, and even if ritsu wasnt the one to drown her, i heavily suspect that ritsu is keeping secrets about sanae’s death from her.

the turning point in their relationship will be when nagisa finds out these secrets, whether he did murder sanae or if there was just something extra he wasn’t telling her. personally, i think this will be the only way that nagisa realizes that ritsu is horrible to her and for her and that hes not filling the void that sanae left behind. it’ll cause another breakdown in her, but the anger at him keeping an important thing from her for the past 20+ years will finally cause her to break things off with him and distance herself. maybe she’ll realize that she has a better friend/relationship in seven and still has a chance at a social life. im unsure.

what’s important is that this will set off another chain reaction. her leaving ritsu alone will… essentially leave ritsu with no one. no matter what he does, soubi doesnt want anything to do with him and wont come back (not that he can anyways, since timeline-wise at this point he’s still with seimei). he doesnt appear to have any family. he doesnt seem to have any friends or drove them all away. and now nagisa, the only piece of control he had left, distances herself from him. while i dont believe ritsu will change or anything, he will be left alone, blind and no longer in control of anyone or anything, and he might finally get what he deserves through this.

furthermore, though, this will further cause the breakdown of the council with one member having kept secrets from another member for over twenty years. ritsu will struggle for control back, which will cause further dysfunction, and nagisa will stop wanting to have anything to do with him, and may even avoid him. thats two members out of seven (six, really) who won’t want anything to do with each other, one of which will be desperately struggling for power.

what i’m saying here is that i’m pretty sure at this point, the council is doomed to completely fall apart, and there’s really only one thing that will properly fix it, or even has the possibility to.

Interruptions and Conversation || Black&Wicked Ones

Who: Lena Fabray & Issy Berry When: 6.6.17 ; after 11 pm What: Lena needs an escape, gets caught when time isn’t on her side. Deep conversation ensues. Warnings: Self harm

Lena had known the breakdown was coming. It was nothing new. However, sharing a room with Issy had sped up the processes and complicated it all in one go. Knowing her friend had gone out for karaoke night, she knew she had a roughly five hour window before she had to deal with Issy being back. She'd gone out to dinner, an attempt to ignore the urges plaguing the back of her mind. Once she'd returned, she'd showered and did her best to kill time, hoping that maybe, just maybe, she'd be able to get away without harming. As she sat around after her shower, in a tank top and shorts, she made the mistake of putting on her usual playlist for when things got like this. Choosing to ignore the time, instead of the urges, she flipped open her lighter, lit a cigarette and then moved her wrist over the flame. The relief was almost instant, as the flame licked at the skin of her wrist. Little did she know, time was not on her side.

Isabella was glad to be done with karaoke. Nothing against having fun and singing, but she didnt want to be around her sister forever or anyone else for that matter. She made her way back to Lena's and her's room before she smelled smoke. She furrowed her eyebrows before she put the key into the door and opened up to see Lena. "What are you doing." She tossed her key and walked over towards Lena. 

Lena dropped her lighter the minute she heard her friend's voice. The metal clattered to the table and she instinctively put what was left of the cigarette out on her wrist before tossing it into the ash tray. Her wrist now stung, in a way she loved yet hated, and she sighed. The glaring red of the burns stuck out against her pale skin, among the old scars that were so clearly visible up and down both arms, including the one on her right forearm, caused by her drunken stupidity. She'd yet to wrap it back up after her shower, figuring it could use some time to air out. "Feeling, what's it look like?" Okay so, totally not an appropriate answer but it was still true, more or less. 

Isabella grabbed the ice bucket, that was melted now and shook her head as she sat down after she grabbed the first kid kit. "It looks like you were harming yourself, Le." She said as she looked at her and didn't know what to feel. "Gimme your arms."

Lena rolled her eyes. "Same difference, yeah?" Her words were harsh as she held out her left arm, figuring she'd worry about her right one later, after the left was taken care of. "Guess now you know why Q didn't tell you what really went on the night she patched up my drunken stupidity." A humorless laugh left her lips as she looked at her own wrists. God, how had she gotten this bad off? That she couldn't even make it a week without fucking up? Now she was stuck with Issy knowing her secret on top of Quinn knowing and everything seemed to be out to screw her over.

Isabella looked at her and held her tongue. "Bad way to feel if you tell me." She replied as she started taking care of her arm and knew that this whole thing was a mess. "Yeah and I know why you didn't tell me what happened. Wasn't an act of drunken stupidity." She swallowed hard, not knowing what to do or what to think or what to say right now. "How long have you been doing this?"

Lena shrugged a bit as Issy spoke. "Better bad than not at all." Lena sighed as Issy spoke, flinching only slightly as Issy patched up her arms. "This wasn't," she moved her left hand lightly. "This," she held up her right forearm, "technically was. I mean, not all of it was, but drunk me thought it was an excellent idea to burn the arm I'd splashed alcohol on." Lena sighed as Issy asked the question not even Quinn had asked. Sure, she'd told Quinn, but Quinn hadn't asked. "Stole the Zippo at age twelve, my thighs got it first." She pulled up the leg of her shorts on the leg closest to Issy, revealing old, long healed scars. "Probably took to fucking with my arms at thirteen. My legs couldn't take climbing and skating while burned."

Isabella saw her filched. "Sorry." She replied softly once she was done patching up her arms and gathered all of the garbage, looked at her as she spoke. She swallowed once more, blinked away the tears. She glanced at her leg, seeing the healed scars and looked at her as she continued to tell her. She felt stupid, beyond stupid at the fact that this was happening right underneath her nose and in front of her. "I want you to know that I am not mad at you. I care a lot about you and I don't know what has been happening for you to relapse, but Im here for you."

Lena shrugged a bit when Issy apologized. It wasn't something to apologize for, a little extra pain while patching up was expected. Lena watched Issy, examined the way her friend was reacting, the way she spoke when she finally did. It hurt more than she expected it to and she was quick to reach out for Issy, gently pulling her friend into her lap. Tucking her chin over her friend's shoulder, she hugged Issy to her. "It's not relapse when you haven't tried to stop it." She sighed. "I'm always fighting it. Usually, I can ignore it. Recently, things have gotten more chaotic and I haven't been able to deal with it. Q finding out..." Closing her eyes against the tears that wanted to fall. "It was just too much."

Isabella let the girl pulled her friend into her lap and placed her hands on Lena's arms. She listened to her, sniffed and glanced at her the best she could. She gently rubbed her arms in hopes it could comfort her. "Hey...." She gently moved and faced her as she gently cupped her face. "Everything's going to be okay, I know it doesnt seem like it but its going to be okay..Im here for you, Im going to be part of the support system with Q.." She gave her a small smile. "I don't know why you started doing it, but Im going to be there with you, every step of the way. I'll stand by you and you can lean on me when you're not strong."

Lena sighed, smiling sadly at Issy. The feeling of her friend's hands on her arms was an odd sensation and she couldn't figure out how she felt about it. It wasn't the worst feeling in the world and it helped ease her nerves with the slight pain it brought. Looking at her friend, she leaned their foreheads together. "Thanks, Is." Her words were soft as she closed her eyes again and took a deep breath. "I don't even know anymore. Chaos kind of took control and I wanted to take that back, I don't know. Got going and then couldn't stop because it helped so much, to feel and to be alive. It just, was so easy." Opening her eyes once again, she looked at her friend. "I'm sorry you had to see this, Is. I never..."

Isabella nodded gently when she heard her. "You're welcome Le." She said softly and listened to her some more. Her heart hurt for her friend, the one person she wanted to make sure she didn't want to hurt or see hurt but yet she did. She was grateful though and knew that this was important. She shook her head at her apologize. "I know Le.." She sadly smile at her before she gave her friend a hug and rubbed her back.

Lena hugged Issy back, burying her head in her friend's neck. She lost the battle against the tears. Crying wasn't her thing, but at this point, she didn't have the energy to keep fighting it. It was, admittedly, nice to be held by someone who wasn't her sister, or herself. She was glad Issy was the second person, after Quinn, to know. Outside of her sister, Issy was probably the only other person she'd be okay with them knowing. Luna was a close third, but the pair were too similar for Lena to imagine it going over. She also just didn't want anyone else knowing, at least for a while. 

Isabella kept rubbing her back as she held her close to her and let her own tears roll down her cheeks. "When the night, has come..and the land is dark. And the moon is the only light we see." She started to sing softly as she held the girl close to her. "No, I won't be afraid...No I won't be afraid just as along as you stand by me." She blinked away her tears and sniffed. "So darling, So darling, darling. Stand by me, oh stand by me. Oh stand, Stand by me." She sniffed once more as she glanced down at her best friend. "If the sky we look upon, Should tumble and fall, Or the mountain should crumble to the sea I won't cry, I won't cry, No, I won't shed a tear, Just as long as you stand, stand by me." She let out a shaky breath as she continued to sing."So darling, darling, Stand by me, oh stand by me. Oh stand, stand by me."

Lena clung to her friend as Issy began to sing. The sound of Issy singing had her crying harder, because she could hear the way her friend's voice broke. She found herself humming along lightly. It was a song she knew, but had never imagined to hear out of her friend's mouth, particularly not directed at her. Something about Issy singing it to her made it take on a whole different meaning. It hurt in a way she never wanted to hurt. It was a form of emotional pain she didn't want to deal with, but she had to because this was reality. She had caused herself so much pain but never imagined that it could hurt her friends and family. That it would get that bad.

Isabella pressed a kiss against her head once she finished singing and just held Lena more. She wanted her to know that she could count her and she was going to be there for her. "Do you want me to hold you tonight?" She asked softly as she felt her phone vibrate and ignored it.

Lena was quiet for a bit, doing the best she could to regain what was left of her composure. It took a bit, but she managed to pull herself away from Issy. "Yeah, but I'll let you know when I'm ready to sleep. Take care of whoever wants you, I probably need to text Q back... It's been a few hours." She sighed, picking her phone up off the table, thankful she hadn't gotten any additional texts from Quinn.

Isabella nodded when she heard the other girl and bit on her lower lip. "Okay...Yeah, text her back and I should text her." She replied as she picked up her phone and stood up carefully. "In the meantime, would you like something to drink?"

Lena sighed a bit sending off a few quick texts to her sister before standing. She pulled on her jacket, not really looking forward to sleeping with bare arms. "Uh, no, I'm good. I'll probably refill my water bottle, if I need anything." Lena then flopped down onto her bed, waiting for her phone to buzz again. Staring up at the ceiling, she couldn't imagine how she'd gotten to this point in her life, but fuck it, she was there. "You think the gossips at this school actually see something between Nat and I? Sorry... random thought is random..."

Isabella nodded as she listened to her, knowing that she didnt have any pair change on her at the moment and walked over towards her bed before she sat down. "Okay." She replied and raised an eyebrow when she heard Lena mentioning something Nat and her. "They might, no. No need to be sorry.. I like random thoughts."

Lena sighed propping herself up on her elbows, looking over at Issy. "I mean, if you take into consideration these are the same people who could see our sisters getting together... I don't know. Just a weird thought." She flopped back down. "I, occasionally, like random thoughts, but these are annoying to me. I don't stand a chance with her, even if I could sort out whatever the hell my brain is trying to tell me." Lena groaned a bit, picking up a pillow and covering her face, yelling in frustration. Why did her brain like doing this to her? This was a very stupid thought.

Isabella slowly nodded when she remembered what the gossip blog said about Quinn and Rachel getting together. "That's true and one of them has a huge crush on Christian." She added before she scratched her shoulder and shook her head with a soft smile. "You do stand a chance with her, Nat is a very beautiful girl and so are you." She frowned when she covered her face and yelled.

Lena removed the pillow from her face, raising her eyebrow before scoffing. "Me and Nat? Please. She's so far into Narnia I'm a little worried about her finding God." Her words weren't harsh, but a little sad. "Besides, even if she managed to admit to liking chicks, what chance, outside of my apparent appearance, which is debatable at best, does the twin sister of her ex-best friend actually stand? Seriously. She avoided me, at least in part, because of Q and I being identical. Not that I even know what it is I possibly feel. Cause fuck if I'm actually in tune with my own feelings."

Isabella nodded as she agreed and placed her chin on her knee. "Yeah, you and Nat. Nah, she's fine honesty." She said and hummed a bit. "You actually would stand a hella chance and so what? She gotten over it, by the way she talks to you." She looked at her and crossed her legs over each other. "Le....You don't have to figure out your feelings right away."

Lena sighed, rolling her eyes a bit. "You sure? Cause the amount of gay panic that I get off her is a little scary." It was the kind of fear Lena could read on a person, because she had become so well versed in feeling it, the kind that meant revealing your deepest secret. When it came to someone like Nat, it was similar to how she felt around her parents. While she could be wrong, something about the way Nat acted around her felt off, felt different. "Are you saying that as my friend, her friend, or some awkward combination of the two? Cause like..." Lena didn't really want Issy to tell her what she wanted to hear, mostly because she wasn't sure what that was, but also because she preferred honesty, at least in moments like this. "I mean, she says she has. Q says she has. Have no reason to believe otherwise, but still... I'm, me." Lena sat up, looking at Issy. "I don't want to have them in the first place. The complicate things. They confuse me because I don't want to like someone, like that, and have them think they like me but then find out what I do to myself and realize they don't. I can't deal with that."

Isabella "She's, having a hard time accepting it. That's what Im observing anyway." Isabella said as she laid on her side and propped her head up. "Im saying that as someone who is watching her two friends flirt and want them to be happy because you guys deserve to be happy. No more of this random hooking up on her end and no more hardass from you. Im not blind whenever you two are around each other. Hence why I wasn't upset about the beach thing." She pointed out and slowly nodded. "They do complicate things, but that's life..Believe me, I don't want them either but here I am. I have feelings." She frowned as she quickly moved to Lena's bed. "They will still like you,desipte of you hurting yourself Le...I know its scary to even think about that..But, if Nat knows, she will still like you."

Lena sighed. "I mean, I get it, and I certainly don't blame her." A laugh escaped her lips and she bit her bottom lip. "Hardass? Me? Noooo, never~" She teased, smirking a bit. "We're kindred spirits, not sure I'd call whatever it is we do flirting, but whatever." She shrugged, watching as Issy joined her. Her friend spoke the truth, whether she wanted to believe her or not. The fact was, no matter what she felt, she couldn't get rid of them, not easily anyway. "I'm not even in any kind of place where I could handle her finding out and I don't want that to be something that comes as some sort of shock or surprise. I- I can't let it be."

Isabella made an oh face and heard her laugh. "Its true, you act like you're a badass but underneath you're a teddy bear that certain people get to see." She smiled as she tucked a piece of her hair behind her ear and shrugged a bit. She looked at Lena, sat next to her and wrapped her arms around the other girl. "I know love and nothing says you have to tell her. Baby steps are important to do especially if you're in no condition to tell her something like this."

Lena leaned into Issy, laughing a bit. "Well we can't all be teddy bears all the time, now can we?" She teased, poking Issy in the side gently. Listening to Issy, she sighed. This was not the conversation she'd been expecting to have with her friend, but i was better than the other alternative, so she accepted it. "I know, but..." She fell back, pulling Issy with her, in no mood to be sitting up. "Outside of maybe figuring out if she likes me back, I don't see what baby steps there are. This is the thing that I hinge basically everything on, it's my highest form of trust, Is. I base everything on trust."

Isabella shook her head with a smile. "Nope, we can't actually." She laughed a bit when Lena poked her a bit and let out a breath of relief when they laid down. "I know....So maybe until you can trust her, you don't have to tell her."

Lena sighed, moving to curl up on her side. "Only problem with that is that I haven't, technically, just told someone about this. I've been caught in a situation where I had to. Q had to patch up my arm. You walked in on me. It kind of makes me wonder if I'll ever feel ready, y'know?" Part of Lena knew she'd end up doing it, whether she truly knew how to or not, the rest of her wanted to think whatever she felt would go away and she wouldn't have to worry about it. Neither option seemed pleasant, but she couldn't pinpoint which one was worse.

Isabella listened to her and nodded. "Yeah, it kinda makes it hard to tell anyone and I promise I won't say anything." She wasn't her place to tell anyone and understood where Quinn was coming from the other day. She chewed on her bottom lip as she thought and remember an article on people getting tattoos on their self harm scars. "What if, when we get home, we'll go and get matching tattoos? I read somewhere some people get tattoos to cover up their scars."

Lena laughed a bit, the exhaustion slowly settling in. "I could use a thigh piece. Wouldn't dare my arms, but my thighs have seen their last flame. Not sure what we'd get, but maybe." She yawned, curling a bit further into herself, instinctively pulling her hoodie over her head. She was far too tired to keep up any real conversation and, at this point, she really didn't want to think. Something in the back of her head suggested the tattoo would be an excellent gateway to telling people but it was quickly drowned out by the exhaustion.

Isabella unwrapped her arm from around her and nodded. "Sweet. We can think about it and whatnot." She replied softly, gotten up and covered her up with her blanket. "Night Le."

My surgery and why you should pay attention to my issue because it could be yours (Note this is going to be gross, TMI and NSFW)

Ive had a few people ask me about my surgery, what it was and why Ihad it. So I thought I'd give a summary without going into detail that freaks people out. However, you should be slightly freaked out as 1 in something like 5 people has Diverticulitis and doenst know it. That was me until mine flaired up.

(Adding a Keep Reading here so you have to click through to read the rest, hope this works. Id prefer that only those who want to see this see it.)

Ok. So, First off lets do a quick Diverticulitis (or Diverticulosis if its not inflamed) summary. This is a condition in which your large colon has weak spots that, under pressure, expand outward like little balloons away from your colon. These little pockets then create a place for waste matter to collect and possibly get infected. The less fiber in your diet, the more easily matter can get into these pockets.

If you have to push or strain when you use the restroom for a #2, your diet needs work. A proper healthy bowel movement should be like a banana in shape and slide right out without effort. You should also not hold your breath when you are "pushing", but instead breathe normally and just let it happen. If it takes work, your diet is not fibrous enough. You should be able to sit down and relax your muscles down there and it should just come out without any or little effort.

Now, what happens is, once these pockets form, they are there and don't go away. Ever. And you may not even know you have them. (Maybe never know.) They usually start in the sigmoid portion of the colon, aka the part where your colon bends near the end to head towards your rectum for its exit. Because they are usually in this corner, they are literally straight ahead of movement of waste material, and if its not fiber filled so its solid, it can get into them and cause infection. This is when Diverticulosis becomes Diverticulitis. You don't want this. Once you have it, it doesn't go away and you have to really watch your diet. Fiber fiber fiber people.

When this starts being a problem, for example for me, I was having attacks/inflammation regularly, they can either give you antibiotics and hope it helps, and tell you to add more fiber to your diet, or if its bad enough, they can do a sigmoid colon resection. This is where this post gets detailed and scary. Hoping that Read More thing above worked so you only read this if you clicked through.

Alright, so, a resection is a nice way of saying they cut out anywhere from 6″-several feet of the 5′ of large colon you have in you. In my case, they cut out a 1′ section. This is cut at the intersection of the sigmoid colon and the rectum, basically where your colon goes from side to side to bending to goto your rectum (middle of your body, right around your genitals behind them). This cut is made at an angle, and the cut where they remove the bad part is also cut at an angle. Then, they carefully slide your entire 5′ or so of large colon around so the two ends meet. And then they sew them back together, by passing the bad spot with a new sewn together section. This operation can be done the old way, where they open you up literally wide open so your guts are exposed, or laparoscopically, where they do a few smaller incisions and do the work with special tools to decrease the amount of cutting outside needed. In my case, they did it laproscopically, leaving me with 3 incisions. Plus the one in side just behind and above my groin, where the two good ends are put together.

As you can imagine, this is not the most fun thing, surgery wise. You now have 3 outside cuts which hurt, 1 inside cut which hurts but since its inside your body doesnt send pain signals the same way as external injuries, and your entire digestive system has to restart and relearn, as does your body. 

These pain signals are the most annoying part. If you cut your finger, you look at your finger, see the cut, feel the paincoming from your finger, and you know its your finger that hurts. When its inside, your body doesn’t send a signal that says “your pain is coming from the intersection of your sigmoid and rectum” instead it just says “theres pain in this area!” And your body then tries to figure out what this means. Since your genitals, the incision, bladder, etc are all in this area AND there’s a cut on your outside in the same spot, your body doens’t quite know what to do, so you feel one or more of the following... 1) general pain in the gut, 2) genital pain, 3) Bladder pain or the urge to pee and 4) Rectal pain or the urge to poop, but you dont know which it is, just that you feel pain and its not fun.

Add to this any sitting, walking, movement, standing, bowel movements, etc all also create pain. My first week or 2, every step I took felt like Godzilla was stomping around and my guts were going slam slam slam downwards. Ironically, walking and movement is actually good for you, it stimulates the muscles that make your colon and digestive system work, so despite the pain, you have to walk, it creates healing by means of reactivating your digestion.

So that is basically what my surgery involved and what I am going through now, minus a lot of details and side effects. Constant day to day nagging pain, walking causing pain, sitting causing pain, and 1′ of my colon being gone leaving me with 1′ less room to “hold it” if I have to go.

As a person who has suffered unknowingly from Diverticulosis (just the pockets) and Diverticulitis (the inflamed version), I urge you to keep your diet in check and to get your GI to have a look inside and check for these pockets once in a while. I went for 5 years with off and on pain and NO idea what it was until Dec of last year when it was finally diagnosed, and the timing was great as I then had 2 attacks, both put me in the ER, one also the hospital for a week. And these two within a month of each other resulted in the surgery. And that doesnt mean I’m doenand will never have this again. It just means that the bad section with the pockets is gone for now. And I have to keep an eye on my diet because the section that took its place can get the same thing too.

Sorry if this was TMI but I do feel that it is very important for everyone to be aware of. I had no clue and now that I know I want to make sure my friends and family all know so they can avoid it. And avoid surgery.

Note that the suergery can also go poorly. Some end results of a poor outcome can include a temporary cholostomy bag (poop out into an external bag) or a permanent one... damage to your urinary tract during the surgery, damage to th bundle of nerves going to your genitals, or worst case, something gets nicked and they have to cut you open and literally clean your guts out and fix the issue and put you back together. I was really scared of these, but was lucky enough not to have to wake to them.

You can also wake to nerve damage from being in a wierd position during surgery for 4-6 hours, or a pinched nerves causing numbness and pain (I had that and am still waiting it out), bed sores, andother complications.

So, take it from me, keep on top of this. I know you may feel fine but you will eventually have an attack if you have the pockets and you may end up like me needing the surgery.

Hope this wasn’t too long and gross and my read through thing works so no one has to read it if they dont want to. If not I’ll see about moving it to a page and linking to that.

Hope you found it useful and I hope at least one of you uses this as motivation to keep your colon and your diet in check so you stay healthy and happy.

ML, beefy

So how did it get to the point where you needed to get the spinal fusion? Were u in pain due to your scoliosis? Or was the operation just for protective measures when you get older? Ive been told by my dr that I habe a slightly curved spine but she never said scoliosis but idk what the difference is lol. i just slouch alot but my back doesnt hurt unless i bend down in an awkard position. Is that how it was for you?

Everyone’s spine is slightly curved, but at least in America children are generally screened in late elementary school because that’s when it typically presents itself. How old are you? I wore a back brace to prevent the curves from progressing from 5th to 10th grade, but I changed the type of brace I was using the last two years and it was unfortunately less effective. However, scoliosis is weird and whether or not it will progress and why is generally unknown, unless it has a pathological origin. I got the surgery because my orthopedic surgeon (who I saw every 6 months) told me my curves had progressed 2 degrees a year for the last 5 years since I had stopped with my bracing (you stop when you’re done growing) and i had one at 55˚ and one at 39˚. I wasn’t having significant pain, but you heal best when you’re young and I had my mom to care for me through the worst of the recovery process. I was going to need it eventually so doing it when my spine was younger and healthier was the better option.

Depending on your age, your primary/pediatrician will likely pay attention to it for a few years to make sure it doesn’t progress, but if they haven’t formally said scoliosis than you’re probably normal. I would stop slouching so much if I were you, though. From a PT student perspective and a personal perspective, even if slouching isn’t likely to increase the curve (unknown if active posture really matters) it will almost certainly affect your back in the long run and be bad for you/cause pain.

That all said, if you have concerns at all, you should just ask your PCP next time you see her. As odd as it sounds, health care providers don’t always realize when they’re withholding information or when they’re vague about something it causes more worry than relief. Health care should always be a joint venture between yourself and your provider and if you feel like you’re being left out of the process, you should ask questions. If you do that and you still feel as though your provider is intentionally excluding you from the process or treating you like your needs and preferences aren’t important you can always request a switch of providers.

@mana-ramp-matoran It's not "all about perspective." No one can compare their pain to others, see that others have it worse, and suddenly their pain is gone. A broken leg is still gunna hurt. A car accident is still gunna hurt.

No one pain is less important to take care of or acknowledge than the other. The same goes with stress. Whether it is physically, mental and/or emotional stress, it is important to take all of it seriously and with the respect and care it deserves.

The fact that you are so quick to try and denounce her pain because you worked more physical jobs and have made a few youtube videos doesnt mean you suddenly know everything about pain and the youtube buisness. If you actually cared to read articles or listen to youtubers talking about what REALLY happens behind the scenes instead of what you and many others have glorified the job to be like you would understand how hard it truly is.

Shenpai and her friend superbutterbuns, another youtuber and twitch streamer, recently were talking about the youtube career on one of Shen's stream. They talked about what happens when their videos get copyright striked or demonitized for more adult humor and they are unable to make revenue, despite the fact that they can work months on the project. The ad revenue they recieve does not come pouring in like many think, making it really difficult to make money souly off of youtube. That's why both of them have to not only bump up the amount of videos they release to get the views for ads, but also go on twitch and, in Shen's case, take commissions. With their jobs, there's no way they can definitely say they will make money off of the things they do.

And, even if they genuinely love doing this, that doesn't make it easy. Like Shen said, you can get burned out on something very quickly, especially when you have to constantly make content for hundreds of thousands of people who are, basically, your sole revenue who you have to please. The entertainment buisness is already a grueling place but most of the time you have multiple people to take on specific roles to make the job more manageable. Not every youtuber does. All the writing, editing, planning, filming acting (if there is any) and duty to entertain is all on them. There is no breaks in the creation process for them. It, at times, can be a 24/7 job, making "the comfort of your own home" feel like a prison. A job is a job no matter where it is.

I am subscribed to dozens of youtubers, some new, others long gone. Almost all of them had to take a break due to burnout. The mental and emotional, sometimes physical even, drain on them is so incredible in a horrifying way. People have had emotional breakdowns, physical illnesses due to stress, broken marriges and even contracting diseases because of their job. But they have to pump out content as soon as they feel even slightly better so they can keep working. Some even keep working through everything because it's their job.

Just because you worked long jobs, just because you had jobs that underpaid you, just because they were more physical and just because you made a few videos, it doesn't give you permission to explain away what Shenpai is feeling.

But, despite this and despite people like you, Shen still works hard and has a lot of passion for what she does. She is a human being and does not deserve to have her feelings brushed to the side like this.

some vent art…

It’s really not that easy.

Car insurance issues help wanted?

have a few issues I could really use some help with. The family car that I have been driving wasn't in my name but I was still covered on the insurance until one day I hit a mailbox with the passenger side mirror. The mailbox did not sustain any damage but the mirror somewhat did. I didn't call the police when it happened since the damage was extremely minimal. Anyways, then a couple weeks later a different family member (not the owner) had a little bit of a bigger accident when an animal suddenly appeared in front of the car forcing another accident. I have not had an accident in over 12 years but since I was mentioned after that second accident, I was also excluded from the insurance policy for that vehicle. The insurance cost is something like $158.00 per month but now they want the owner to add about $50 or $60 more per month EACH for the 2 people that were excluded because of the accidents.The car payment is about $415.00 per month and the insurance was $158.00 per month for just the owned which does not even drive the car at all but now they want an extra hundred per month for those 2 excluded drivers if they want to drive that car. Will this change if we switched insurance companies? And if I haven't had an accident in over 12 years, would it be possible to appeal that? Thanks in advance""

So is there any health insurance for those with serious medical conditons?

My younger brother who's only 20 years old has a host of serious illnesses: crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome, and a few more conditions that has constantly kept him sick for a good portion of his childhood. He's missed at least half a school year on a number of occasions, and despite his maturation he's still heavily affected by his conditions. Obviously, it's practically impossible for him to hold a steady job, he'll work for a while and then he'll have to take off a month or two just to deal with his illness, with that said he surely won't have employee health insurance. Currently, he's using our state's medicaid, however once he turns 21 he's no longer eligible for medicaid. With the health care system being the way that it is, is there any possibility that he could continue receiving health care despite his ineligibility? He takes a ton of drugs daily, and even takes some of the same medications that our grandparents take lol. I know some of you heartless conservatives believe he should provide his own health coverage, but how? His drugs cost thousands, and he's in the ER constantly, thus making his health-care only affordable to extremely rich individuals. When healthy, he does contribute as much as he possibly can, however for someone in his condition it would be downright shameful if he can't continue to receive any healthcare.""

Who's responsible for rental car insurance after an accident?

Last month my car was run into in a parking lot while I was shopping. No question who was at fault. We exchanged information and I contacted their insurance company.

Teenager car insurance help?

Okay! I am a 17 year old male who has been driving in total for 2 years and I have unfortunately had 2 accidents. The first occurred in May of last year. I pulled out of a gas station trying to turn left so I had to cross two lanes of oncoming traffic ( I was in an unfamiliar vehicle) I could not see the lane closest to the middle and I went out further then I thought and the oncoming car took off the front bumper. The second accident occurred 04/14 I was driving to school and there was a man ahead of me who had his signal light on for the past 4 miles it was pouring down rain so I looked over to change lanes and when maybe I looked for to long I'm not sure but wheeI turned back the man had come to a complete stop in preparation to turn from a highway onto a dirt road. I slammed on my brakes they locked up I couldn't steer away and I hit him in the rear. My question is. Is this going to keep happening to me? Am I really that bad of a driver? and what insurance company is best for my situation as my parents are removing me from their policy. Any help would be appreciated!

Car insurance -- should they cover these expenses?

I had an accident a month or two ago. It was in a rental car. I found out today that the insurance company had disallowed some of the charges that the rental company tried to pass to them. Now the rental company is trying to pass those charges to me. They ammount to about $500, plus my deductible, of course. The charges are $100 for an administrative fee $200.89 loss of use fee $139.38 diminished value fee. Who should pay these charges? Should I fork this money over to the car rental company? Should the insurance company pay them? What strategy should I use in my conversations with them? My feeling is that I have insurance, it should pay everything which is an actual cost above and beyond the deductible. ie if I have to pay it, the insurance company should have to pay it. On the other hand, if they are somehow bogus charges, then the rental company can eat it, and that's fine. Thought?""

Car Insurance for driving test question?

Okay I'm a bit confused here so here it is: I'm taking my road driving test this January (I'm in TX BTW). One of the requirements is that I provide a car that has insurance.

Or is it OK if the insurance covers the car and it's owner only (my friends' car) and it's only his name as the insured driver . I'm confused since he said I NEED to be covered by the car's insurance, but how can I be covered if I don't have the license yet (Insurance companies will only insure drivers with license) I tried calling the local DMV but you know what happens when you do... you are put on hold for the entire day.

Why do we NEED car insurance?!?

Why is it the LAW that we have car insurance?? I honestly think it's stupid. Shouldn't we, as free Americans, be able to make the choice of whether or not we want insurance, and still legally drive a vehicle, as long as we have a license, at our own risk? Kind of like if you go skiing or snowboarding, you go at your own risk, you're not forced to get skiing insurance , or boarding insurance , or anything like that. I mean, think of this situation: I have no insurance, and I wreck into somebody. They have insurance, so they are covered. I don't, so I will either have to get rid of my car, or pay for repairs myself; that's the risk I took and this is how I'm paying for it, by being car less or spending tons of money on repairs. But why must we be forced by law to have it, or NO DRIVING FOR YOU says big ole' government?? This is angering me because I'm currently in college, without a car, and while I can walk to my work and school, it's still about 30-45 minutes each way to walk, and if I could get an old car for cheap, it would make my life MUCH easier and less of a hassle.""

Unfair car insurance?

My car was very old but in excellent working order. It has been written off in an accident that was not my fault. The insurance company will only pay me what it's worth, about 150. To get a reasonable second hand replacement will cost much more than this, and I cannot afford it. So I now have no car and cannot afford a replacement. Over the last few years I've paid thousands for insurance. Can the company do this, i.e not pay for an equivalent replacement, but pay what they think it's worth.""

Why do insurance companies hate performance/modified cars?

It seems like the ideal insurance company wants you to drive a safe and slow bumper car and have absolutely no fun driving to and from wherever you are going. They assume that any sports car or car with performance enhancements means you will crash. It means you are a reckless driver and no good to the general public. It means you will blatantly violate the rules of the road and have no remorse for doing it. All of that is a load of crap... Most of the major car companies don't even offer, when getting a free quote, to see Ferrari's or Lamborghinis prices, they just won't insure them! Your expected to report any and all modifications to the company so they can jack up the premium. So why do they hate those types of cars so much?""
