skz - "bet."
pairing: felix x bff!gn!reader warnings: fluff, pining, reader eats popcorn summary: you make felix watch your favourite movie word count: 850
©amyysfics (2023) All Rights Reserved - Reposting/Modification of any kind is not tolerated.
Giggles, snorting and all kinds of laughter filled the room. You were barely able to catch your breath, when a voice broke through the sound of heavy breaths and occasional giggling. "What the fuck kind of movie are you watching, that is making you laugh this hard?", your best friend asked.
The both of you sat in a video-call on Discord. He had been playing a game, which you assumed must have been League of Legends, judging by his continuous screaming, "Noooo!" and "What are you doing? We had it!". You had turned on your favorite movie eventually. None of this was a rare occurrence. You hung out with Felix this way whenever possible - both of you doing your own thing while being in each others company.
"I'm watching what is possibly the funniest movie ever, thank you very much for asking.", you looked straight at the camera, poking out your tongue. How dare he judge this amazing piece of media? Out fo the corner of your eye you could see your blue-haired friend roll his eyes. Though, before he had the chance to tease you back, you thought of a deal. "Why don't you watch it with me? I can restart it. And if you end up liking it and enjoying your time, I will treat you to a smoothie!"
The idea made Felix' eyes light up. He loved having movie nights, especially with you. And he was was being honest with himself, he couldn't give less of a shit what you guys were doing, as long as he got to spend time with you - his best friend, that he just so happened to have a not so tiny crush on. She he did what every sane idiot in love with his best friend would do; He responded with as little words as he could as to not let you hear the shakiness of his voice, "Bet."
You left your seat for a minute to grab a fresh bottle of water and Felix used the time to finish (and lose) the round of League he was still in. It took you a few moments to come back, so he made sure to to set his screen up properly. He could click on one of the images to have them fill up almost the entire screen, the rest of it being smaller at the bottom. After making everything look the way he wanted to, he noticed you walking back - a bottle of water in one hand and a bowl of fresh popcorn in the other.
The Australian silently cursed himself for agreeing to this. It wasn't the first time you watched a movie together, but he would usually be the one streaming it - the movie taking up his entire monitor. Today, for the first time, he had the chance to observe your reactions. He noticed the way your eyebrows scrunched together mere moments before you laughed. He saw the way you attempted to hide your shy smile as the two main characters kissed. He could even tell that one strand of your hair seemed to be bothering you - constantly tickling your neck. Felix knew he wouldn't be able to stop himself from brushing it away if he actually sat next to you.
"Yongbok!", your less than quiet voice ripped him out of his thoughts. You glared at the boy, or at least it looked that way to him. "Were you even watching?", you clicked with your tongue, fishing through the last few pieces of popcorn for the best one. "I was! I loved it!, he lied. Your best friend put barely any of his attention towards the movie. You smiled a little, popping the chosen popcorn-piece in your mouth, "Right? The part where the cat rolls in the snow is so good!" Felix nodded immediately, "It's probably the best part."
"You couldn't stop feeling your heartbeat get faster, almost pounding out of your chest, knowing you caught him in a lie. "Lix, first of all, there wasn't a single cat in the movie and it's set in summer. And second-", you leaned closer to the camera, "I can see the reflection of your screen on your computer-case a little bit. You had my camera on full-screen-mode the entire time.
His body reacted faster than his brain allowed him to come up with a witty response. A blush crept up to the tip of his ears in an instant. And even his neck turned about three shades darker. He tried to think of a response - any explanation, but he couldn't get a single word to come out.
"You know what?", you broke through the silence, smiling, "I'll still treat you to that smoothie. I mean it looks like you had a good time, no? Pick you up tomorrow at five?", you winked. When did you get so smooth?
Felix' blushed even harder at this chance of a date with you, even that was even possible. But what he didn't know, was that you were just as excited about it, as he was. So he gathered all the courage he could.
"Bet."

On Writing: Clearing Mental Underbrush
Sometimes when you get stuck on your writing, it’s because of stress. Make that more of an “often”, actually....
So how do you get unstuck?
In some cases the answer is (relatively) simple. You need more sleep. You need more alone time. You need more quiet sitting with the research books, and/or a space you can play your own music in so you can forget the rest of the world for a while.
How you get those may be - ahem - complicated. Blackout curtains are a thing. Making sure you switch off the TV, computer, or other monitor screens earlier in the evening is a thing. Laying down the law to your roommate that no, you can’t give them another hour out of your day to watch a TV show because you have a headache and would be really bad company is a thing.
I do advise against committing felonies for peace and quiet. I understand the impulse, believe me, but I hear prison food sucks and is not set up for people with multiple food allergies. Also the roommates are likely worse. Probably.
Other times the answer is more complicated. Stress is often a multi-factored thing that’s accumulated over time, and yanking one stressor out of the pile may not be enough. Still, it’s a place to start.
Look at anything coming up that has a deadline. Taxes, for example, are a major ARGH at this time of year. Especially if you have any self-employed income coming in, and that means most of us creative types. The anticipated stress of doing the taxes can knot your brain up so bad it’s worth taking a day of precious free time to sit down and rough the numbers out as soon as you’ve got them all.
(If you’re a writer getting royalties for the first time last year: 1040, Schedule 1, Schedule 2, Schedule C, Schedule SE, and likely the 1040-V. Yes you need them all. Yes you are going to be bouncing between them like a pinball. Yes it sucks. Especially seeing how large a chunk gets hoovered out.)
Another thing to look at is anything you know you need to get done, but aren’t sure how to do. Anything from an unfamiliar cleaning project (wax car how?) to cooking for a party (how much? Of what?) to interacting with new people - official or otherwise. In this case see if you can grab scratch paper and break the big task into smaller chunks, each of which you can research. Sometimes just the breaking-into-smaller-bites is enough to take the stress off.
And one final thing that gets a lot of creative types is the Pile of Unfinished Works.
Yeah, this is the scary one. As in, “I want to hide under the blankets, noooo!”
I don’t have really good suggestions for this one outside of, try to organize it. And have it somewhere you can pull it out and look at it if (and only if!) you want to. Do not have the folder/beads/stringcraft/whatever where you have to face it every day. That doesn’t work. All it does is intimidate the bunnies into running shrieking away, carrying all your joy and other ideas with them.
Have it where you can sneak up on it, if something occurs to you that will let you finish one off. Or at least get it Done Enough that you can declare it over. Otherwise, try not to think about it. Sometimes a creative project just doesn’t work. Focus on what does.
Then, with enough of the mental underbrush cleared, the writing will come back.
....And probably drag you away like a muse-stampede leaving you battered and bloody, but with words. Heh.

ok so ,,, weird question but. do my graphics/gifs look blurry to anyone else. bc when i make them on my pc they look FINE, i even oversharpen them half the time. but then on my laptop and my phone they just ? dont look the same ? and i'm making them the correct sizes (afaik??) so i rly dont know why this is happening, i assumed it was just bc my laptop/phone were smaller screens, but Other peoples' graphics/gifs look correctly sharpened on my laptop AND desktop, and now im just like oohhh noooo....
#like i probably shouldve asked this months ago but i truly was assuming it was just a difference in screen size#but just now i realized like. oh. why do other ppls' graphics not do that then. so now im just like . um#summer's text tag#EDIT ? MY TUMBLR HEADER LOOKS FINE#AND SO DOES MY ICON?? SO I THINK IT'S. JUST. WHEN I POST ACTUAL PICTURES. IN A POST. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND

A Tale of a Stay at Home Grandfather
Babysitting a 2.5 year old for several days really shows your age…
With Sookie (the dog) standing and staring at me for some time I finally decide to get her a treat, peanut butter and snack stuffed red rubber thingy. I ask Margot (2.5 yr old grand daughter) if she’d be interested in helping me create this tasty treat for Sookie. The ensuing screaming lasts for maybe an hour (1-2 min) jabbering out some sort of word salad that it seems only she knows the meaning of. Throwing herself on the floor, stretching out like a kitten in belly rub mode, though not quiet as one, I ask her over and over, “What is it that you want?” I make out the word “blankie” I think. She calms briefly until I inquire, “Do you want me to go get your blankie?” The screaming resumes post haste. Finally she seems to figure out that mere words, as she seems to think they are, will not make her dreams come true with me so she makes the universal “pick me up” gesture and I obey, still inquiring, incorrectly, about the blankie thing which reinvigorates the screaming. Now, at least, that is accompanied with pointing so I assume she wants to help get the peanut butter for Sookie. Another misstep in communication as she screams when I go to open the door concealing the snacks Sookie can only dream of having the ability to point at. With fingers pointed in the opposite direction, and a nearly undecipherable “in there” coming from her quivering lips I open a drawer revealing the little plastic tops that go on those squeezie plastic pouches I’ve often seen her devour. Noooo, she screams pointing slightly to the right. As I open that drawer revealing this time all of the silverware and a spattering of plastic ware in smaller dimensions I decipher a distinct “that one” and as I pick up a blue plastic baby spoon she sputters, “and that one.”
You want two spoons?
Yeah.
One blue and one red?
Yeah.
If I’d collected the tears she’d shed to this point I could’ve thrown back a shot by now.
She grabs both spoons with one hand and now she’s pointing, with her empty fingers, toward the cabinets at the opposite end of the kitchen. I move across the floor, babe in arms, opening the doors and there lies the peanut butter that I know is not fit for the dog. I take it out and she now, in very decipherable English, “two spoons” and I fill, mostly, first the red then the blue with peanut butter wondering where she learned that these were Sookie spoons and not Margot spoons. I’m soon made aware that all of this commotion had little, or nothing, to do with Sookie and her little red rubber chewy toy with a pb & snack hidey hole and everything to do with a late afternoon toddler snack of two peanut butters and a delivery dude. Back on the couch she licks the red spoon like a lollipop as I head back to the task that I originally surmised she’d want to give assistance to. By the time I’ve filled the red rubber snack toy of joy for Sookie and set myself into the chair she mutters, “more” without taking her eyes off the pups of Paw Patrol.
You want more?
Yeah.
You still have some on the red spoon.
Blank stare at Paw Patrol.
I make the journey to the far end of the kitchen to fill the red spoon returning to see the blue spoon still fully loaded.
Interrupted yet again with “more” as I make the journey from her snuggled space on the couch to the far end of the kitchen to fill the spoon yet again with her elixir of the afternoon, peanut butter, alternating between the blue spoon and the red spoon wondering if she’ll ever get her fill. I’ve left the peanut butter open on the counter top at the far end of the kitchen as this may be the only meaningful exercise I get all day.
The nose of Sookie again pokes around my computer screen as I attempt to type out this prose still alternating trips between red, then blue. After some 7-33 trips I finally am asked for more with this time needing to fill two at the same time. Upon returning with the goodies I asker if she wants the blue spoon or the red spoon.
Both.
I know that but do you want the red spoon first or the blue spoon?
Yeah.
Ok, here’s the red spoon, I’ll put the blue spoon in the bowl. Later I would be alerted to her helping me out by returning the blue spoon to the kitchen, back to the drawer of its’ origins. Complete with Sookie hair stuck to it.
We seem to be on the same page. For now…
In her own world, on her own street.

The youtube mobile channel page redesign is fundementally wrong (big suprise, i know) (longe post)
why the hell is the banner in a box. just put the last fuckin vestige of customization we have left in an even smaller box so it looks like shit. fucking of course. its called a fucking channel banner they literally had it put together so it fit to the screen and it looked fine but NOOOO everything gotta conform to their "shove everything in fucking rounded boxes" aesthetic because fuck you and common decency i guess.
so heres the previous layout, courtesy of an old screenshot i took
and, like, this layout works. the spread fits well and acts as a good divider on the header on initial appearance
frankly in general I'm just tired of people rounding edges that really shouldn't be rounded
they did it to the video player on desktop, and i dont care if all you miss is like 15 pixels, its still really dumb just in concept
they want everything to be as bland and inoffensive as possible for the fucking adwords money, and they're applying the same principle to their fucking web design. they are burning our balls off for the insurance money.
this website is the only thing making me realize i'm not taking crazy pills and that literally everything is getting worse in more ways then even most people are talking about.
and you wanna know the fucking cherry on top? of all of this? here's the previous layout before that.
(only image i could find on short notice.)
…thats right. the new layout is just a much shittier version of the older one. like, i could get behind left aligning the icon. cause thats how they do it on desktop, it makes sense, you know?
and double guess, lets go back to the original goddamn One UI layout, the initial "taking the horse of user customizability and fun out back and shooting it to death." inciting incident.
(ignore that this image is like 5 pixels)
THIS IS A BETTER LAYOUT THAN WHAT WE HAVE NOW. THE LITERAL FIRST VERSION WOULD BE BETTER THAN THE FUCKING PRODUCT OF THE SHAREHOLDER ROOM THROWING DARTS AT THEIR DICK TO DECIDE HOW TO SIZE THE ELEMENTS.
and i have no doubt in my mind that they're gonna continue to make it worse somehow. they will take every last ounce of customization we have left. because thats what they always do. trust nobody. nothing is ever safe. THIS FUCKING WEBSITE ISNT EVEN SAFE HAVE YOU SEEN THE STATE OF THINGS AROUND HERE? and before you say "oh just use fucking blungovidupload" BUDDY ALL THOSE WEBSITE ARE EITHER FILLED WITH RACISTS OR HAVE AN VIEWERBASE OF LIKE THREE PEOPLE. THERES NO FUCKING WORTHWILE PLACE TO RUN. WE ARE ALL FUCKED. especially me, who was kinda banking on being able to at least hit something on youtube, because i feel like i probably couldn't handle the world as it is without fucking breaking my entire spirit to a depressing extent due to the current state of, like, everything.
its weird to end this incoherent rant on a bleak note, but its true. nothing we do matters in this context. because they hit it big, and they don't care about us. honestly, people say kill them with kindness? i dont get it. we've tried compassion, it doesn't work. i am beyond the need for compassion. i run on spite, anger, and shitposting. at all times.
god gives her shittiest website designs to her most mentally unwell internet history gals

God, that was such an annoying shriek. Iono put her floppy sleeves over her ears, as if pretending to block it out despite the fact that the other already seemed done yelling. "Ummm YES? EARTH TO GEEK, did you not hear me, or somethin'?" She wasn't going to actually repeat the word 'noob' at them, though. They looked pissed. Like, really pissed. Iono was definitely being a brat, but wasn't that just part of her charm? But this kid was not buying any of it for even a second. They looked like they were going to straight up maul her!
Shit, was this actually a really big mistake? She needed to talk to her publicist STAT, but it might be a bit hard to talk to the Rotom in her phone in the middle of this. Yikes, she was totally on her own here. This is why she preferred talking to people from behind a camera or screen. She was pretty good at the talk part of fighting, but not so good at the physical part of fighting. Pokémon battles, no problem, but people battles? With fists and stuff? No thank you!
She let out a little yelp as they stepped closer, putting her arms in front of her as if to defend herself, but instead of lunging at her they did something way, way worse... Arceus almighty. She hadn't thought about that. She hadn't considered that for even a second. The tears in the corners of her eyes weren't fake anymore.
"ACK! Noooo no no no you CANNOT be serious, you wouldn't do that, right?!??!?" Her pleading little fidough eyes probably weren't going to get her anywhere now, but she had to at least try. "C'mon friendo, c'mon, I was totes just kidding, I-I wouldn't do that!" She would definitely do that and had definitely done it to channels way smaller than her own at least a few times throughout her career. "Pleeeeeaaase don't delete my channel!!!!" There were actual tears rolling down her cheeks now. "I won't cancel you, OK??? I swear!!! I swear on my 10 mil play button!!!!!!"
"NOOB?!" Penny practically shrieked their voice hitching to a higher octave and all fear suddenly vanishing. Noob? NOOB? Who was she to call THEM a noob! They'd hacked the Paldea league, they'd stolen points right out from under the leagues nose for months without so much as a suspicion that it'd been them! They'd broken into the system of one of the greatest minds Paldea had ever seen and she was calling them a noob?!
Her threat and fake tears only worsened Penny's anger making their teen grind. For a moment they genuinely thought of straight up tackling Iono. They probably wouldn't do much but if they surprised her they might be able to at least pull her hair or bite her hard enough to draw blood. Maybe they'd even leave a scar. That wasn't enough though. That wouldn't hurt enough. Thinking on this rationally they knew exactly how to deal with someone like Iono. "I don't care if everyone hates me. That's why I don't have any subs, bolts for brains. You on the other hand care a lot about the attention you get."
Penny takes a surprisingly brave step forward putting themselves a mere few inches away from Iono. They pull their phone out fingers hovering over the screen as though already about to go into action. Admittedly they wouldn't be able to do much from their phone but it was the psychological warfare that counted. "What do you think will happen to your channel if you cancel me though? Instead of just a few minutes of a shitpost what if your channel disappeared entirely. If you disappeared from the internet entirely and couldn't do shit about it? How would you deal with that same loneliness? Wanna find out?"
#queue; the stream is currently offline#starchanged#SO EXCITED TO FINALLY GET BACK TO THIS AAAUGHGHGHGGHHG i love your penny sm keres and these two are Such a dynamic#i knew i paid for these iono emotes for a good reason...........#shout out to op who said i could use them and then told me my icons were pretty fdsgfkdsf#v; ???#gotta give her an actual mainverse but uhh lazy

FINALLY SOMEONE SAID THE TRUTH.
I admit that i enjoyed act 3 but it feels like really rushed i have so much complain with that.
The build up until act 2 was so good it give us so much premise but the final blow si meh. Sorry that i want to share thing long rant with you
1. Why the final talk is with yae, no offense to her but we need ei to explain not to mention she witness khaenriah downfall so she can give us more information, i feel like they do it for the plot armor so they can just keep dragging this
2. So many things that quite inconsistant, the shogun is show no mercy to anyone that even did a little thing outside what she think its right, how come she can still have a talk with signora, when sara is falling like that, and also there is no clarification about sara right now.
The traveler was so done at first they refuse to help thoma and ayaka at the beginning. But they seem so happy and forget everything how come they are not RAGE ( okay maybe this is to bias and personal) when this nation provide nothing about our siblings information and also why they are not mention anything about their problem in ei stroy quest. Its nonsense! She is right in front of youu, ask about your siblings, ask about khaenriah, ask about ukmown god!!. How come they can just forget like that. Also mihoyo really waste the potential about twin things i thing ei will give us so much help bcs of the sympathy that we both rn lost our twin but noooo.
3. Kokomi seem lost some brain cell, she make a very succesfull grand intro but she become meh in act 3, how come a great strategist like her let the sus sponsorship slip just bcs they are desperate, not to mention her screen time is really small and her role seem so unsignificant and it feels lile she is a plain npc.
4. The awesome world quest that we have done doesnt get any mention at all! Inazuma owe us so much with cleansing sakura, thunder sakura, tatarigami, obarashi quest. It has so much potential that yae or ei or anyone else aknowledge what traveler has been done but nooo.
cracks knuckles... i suppose it's time for my promised dissertation. interestingly enough, you touched on a lot of the main issues i had with chapter III.
i think that if i had to pin the main issue, it's a lack of overall cohesiveness? we were jumping all over the place without the chance to ever flesh things out. inazuma is a smaller cast, but i feel like we didn't get to see any of them shine. since i'm most interested in the genshin characters, i'll break down my problems by going over everyone and their (lack) of impact on the story.
was ayaka not questioned or placed under suspicion for being close to thoma before his escape? i wanted to see her broken up over her duties as they relate to the yashiro commission, paired with having someone she genuinely cares about in danger. it would've been an interesting struggle if she was forced to choose one or the other. instead she just kinda took a back seat.
speaking of thoma, i don't even have anything to say, because he just... was there? for .0001 seconds. said "lol this sucks ig" and that's about it. i know we're going to get a story for him in the future since he's a 5* but i'm not getting my hopes up 😭 then in the raiden shogun's character story, man is peachy keen! be upset with the raiden shogun! have some inner conflict! even if it's just using loaded language because he's under surveillance for going against the raiden shogun, that'd be so cool. saying something like,
"Traveler, what's with that expression? Oh please, there's nothing to worry about. We're under the Statue of the Omnipresent God's protection. Nothing bad has ever happened here." *wink*
i also don't know what to say about gorou. he was... there....... i think. what is he fighting for? what are the stakes for him? what makes him place so much trust into kokomi? i'm out of things to say about him because i don't remember anything he did or said.
kokomi... oh kokomi... i was so hyped. so excited. i thought that maybe we could see a foil to the raiden shogun. that she'd have a moment where she's forced to realize, just like her opponent, sacrifices must be made that will hurt people who will never understand why she made them. or maybe something to show her military prowess. but instead she just accepts a mysterious patron's help (?), sees her people aging like the grateful dead from JJBA, and goes oh well. that sucks. what can ya do. oh bye traveler i guess, good luck with that. ????????????? HUH... similar case to thoma where she's gonna get a character story but like. she won't be the leader of the resistance anymore. that was her whole shtick. they took her shtick away. also she forced me to interact with more NPCs whose names i've already forgotten so i'm tilted about that still.
KUJOU SARA... AN INJUSTICE. A DISGRACE. a slap to my woman loving face. the build up was there. yae miko's comments about sara probably knowing the tenryou commission is involved in shady dealings, but is choosing not to think about it. sara being forced to confront reality and challenge her adopted father with the truth. being able to blaze a new path for herself in the process. when she started running to the raiden shogun i was ultra hyped up. sara, a devotee to the shogun for so long, was about to see her god interacting with the same people who led inazuma to this awful state. how would she react? would she stay ignorant, like yae miko so coyly said, choosing to look away in favor of following her god's footsteps? or would she be forced to recognize the raiden shogun isn't as divine as she once thought, and challenge her belief system?
we open the door to see the raiden shogun. the loading screen ensues. the camera pans to the ominous room, clouded in darkness, hinting at the ominous confrontation that is to come. the music takes a serious timbre. and then...
well fuck that potential character arc i guess. (we still don't know what sara made of any of this since she poofed out of existence from the story at this point)
kazuha also was handed a similar treatment. we've been with him for a while longer now. he is our introduction into inazuma, the one who first gets us emotionally involved by regaling us with the bittersweet tale of friendship that led him to becoming a wanted criminal. a kind soul who loves nature yet was dealt a cruel hand by fate, forced to watch his home nation turn into a hostile place, where his dear friend ultimately perished as a result. we get the scene with his friend's vision lighting back up. he parries a block from the raiden shogun, in the same area where his friend was killed by her. the parallels. the drama. except this time, he wasn't too late. he protected the traveler where he "failed" to protect his friend in the past. did he feel redemption at this? or was it a bittersweet reminder of what could've been?
WELL i guess we'll never know because we didn't get to talk to him again 😭 idk who got a bait and switch worse, him or sara. jesus christ mihoyo.
then we have signora. why is the raiden shogun talking to her? does she know about the gnosis being taken, and if she doesn't, what was her plan to get it from the archon? what does she think about scaramouche? and oh, okay, we're fighting here now. good fight + god tier music. pog pog. okay, now we've beaten her up, and raiden shogun wyd— wait no not signora her lore is still on CUPS not YET raiden shogun and— ah she's dead. okay. non nerds who didn't read artifact lore are going to know nothing about her. signora has such an interesting story, and yet... well. ok.
then we get raiden shogun redemption (?) arc. i was hype for this as well, though at that point, idk why i bothered being hype. i knew they were gonna do a cute power of friendship something or another, and i'm good with that, so long as it's executed well. what i was envisioning was like seven different buffs to correspond with the seven different visions, the dreams of those whose ambitions were stolen serving as the spear to penetrate the raiden shogun's heart of stone. maybe a hydro vision giving us extra healing for a time, with the voice acting over it being like,
"Even if the rest of the world forgets us, let our will carry you through this one final time. Succeed where we couldn't, Traveler."
so on and so forth.
but instead we got— you get the idea at this point. why bother spelling it out anymore.
at that point i was surprised the raiden shogun didn't go "oopsie woopsie!! we made a fucky wucky!!!" because that was the vibe i was getting. i love ei, don't get me wrong, but i wanted to see her challenged with what she had done to inazuma in the past year. maybe meeting NPC #2345259 who lost her sister to the vision decree or something, reminding ei of the love she held for her sister... being forced to come to terms with the extent of what she's done in pursuit of eternity.
anyway. please for the love of god mihoyo hire better writers for the main story. that is all i ask. thank you.

Horror
D&F: Here is the last fic out of the three! Hope you all enjoy it!
DJ was amazed upon entering the basement. The decorations, the wallpaper scenery, it all felt like he had walked outside into the docks. Though, he couldn’t help but wonder why Freddy looked a bit…hesitant. “I really love what you’ve done with the place!” The music man grins, “I can even see a carnival from here!” The animatronic bear chuckles, “I am glad you love it, the S.T.A.F.F. Bots worked hard to arrange this setting for us.”
The disc jockey stares down at the casing in the glamrock’s hands. “Is that the movie?” He asked. The sense of nervousness made its return within the lead singer upon hearing the question. “Ah, well…yes.” He averts his gaze, “It…it is a horror movie.” A horror movie? That’s new, wonder where the robotic bear got his hands on it. “I know it is strange, I meant to grab a romantic one to match everything here but I was…distracted.” There is a hint of disappointment as Freddy explained. Almost as if he had already ruined their date.
DJ lowers himself down and offers an assuring smile. “Hey, that’s cool! I’m excited to check it out!” He said. The smaller animatronic looks up at him, “You do not mind?” The robotic spider lets out a small chuckle, “Nah, it never hurts to spice things up.” Couples tend to watch horror films on their dates. At least, that’s what he picked up on from overhearing the casual conversations of the employees. Besides, he’s curious as to what the movie has in store. Freddy couldn’t help but return the gesture.
“Alright. However, at any point if you ever feel afraid to continue watching, let me know.”
The animatronic spider tenderly wraps an arm around the glamrock leader. “That’s very sweet of you, but if you feel scared, know that we can end it and I’ll be right here to comfort you. ” He replied. The orange glamrock laughs as he nuzzles against the music man’s cheek, “Thank you, my brave Titan.” The robotic spider returns the gesture.
“Anything for my Melody Bear.”
================================
Oh…wow.
The movie started out slow at first, like all horror movies usually do. Getting to know the characters, setting up the scenario, and the whole foreshadowing thing that will make the terrifying scenes more interesting. Freddy found himself favoring the older scientist, who seems to have an interest in space-related research. DJ gravitated towards the space station pilot with a love of music. The cast was likable enough, besides one that was obviously the jerk of the group.
What the two didn’t account for was how GRUESOME the scenes would be. Small monstrosities crawling all over the human victims, the way the victims are devoured offscreen, even that scene with the pit was a lot. It didn’t even help that the monsters of the film are spider-like in design, which cause a chill down the music man’s endo. The robotic bear sits very close to the animatronic giant, leaning against his cheeks while glued to the screen.
“I did not know spiders could do that…” mumbles the glamrock. The disc jockey’s hug tightens a bit. “Me neither…” DJ agreed. They both jump as another jump scare occurs. “Ah…fake out.” He chuckled to lessen the tension. The glamrock bear places his hand on the robotic spider’s other hand, “The-they have done a fantastic job on the outer space sections of the movie.” The music man can feel the smaller animatronic’s grip massaging his finger.
“Yeah, I’m learning a lo-” He begins but is immediately interrupted by another horror scene, “NO, NOT CARRIE!” The sudden attack of one of the crew mates caught the animatronics off guard. The previous victims were at least hinted to be next, but to see this one yanked away by one of the creatures was a shock. “Noooo….” Freddy whines, “Please, let her live.” The disc jockey took notice of how much the orange glamrock snuggles against him. It’s comforting in a way.
…Now that DJ thinks about this. This must be what the employees were talking about. Wrapping around the date when they get scared, being a sign of comfort, all of it to get closer in a romantic sense. He glances at the distracted lead singer. What else did the human workers say? Just act all tough and brave, and one can easily get to some kind of base? Whatever that “base” is. He opens his mouth to speak when another jump scare startles the both of them.
Maybe he’ll try again when the movie takes a break from the terrifying stuff.
============================
In the end, the spider animatronic didn’t get his chance to act tough or brave. He was so absorbed in the scientist’s explanation in destroying the monsters that, by the time he stopped conversing with Freddy on the effectiveness of it, the movie had returned to the action. Since then, each attempt led to constant failure as DJ held onto the glamrock for dear life.
“That was incredible!” exclaimed the bear animatronic. While the smaller animatronic was afraid at first, he grew more and more excited after the plan devised by the remaining crew started to work.
“Yeah…”
“And the way they vanquished the monsters without destroying the space station was amazing!”
“Yep…it was.” The robotic spider sounds a bit disappointed the more he replies. The lead singer takes notice, “Is everything alright?” DJ snaps out of his thoughts and forces a smile. “I am.” He answers as the smaller animatronic frowns, “Really.” The orange glamrock didn’t buy it. Sighing, the music man scratches his cheek.
“I remember hearing some of the employees talking about acting tough to impress your date, and…I decided to try and do that during our movie watching.”
He lightly laughs, “I just realize how silly it was now that I said it out loud.” More than silly, the attempt was pretty dumb. He should have just enjoyed the movie like he originally did. The giant animatronic pauses when he felt a gentle touch against his face. “You did not need to impress me by acting tough.” Freddy stated. His face softens. “Everything that you have done for our relationship is impressive.” a genuine smile forms as the animatronic bear continues, “From the gifts you had given me, to all of our dates!”
The glamrock plants a kiss on the disc jockey’s nose, “You have given me so much when I asked for so little.” DJ blinks as he takes in everything that the smaller animatronic said. Blushing, he tenderly pecks the glamrock leader’s forehead.
“That’s because you deserve the world.”
Freddy giggles as his cheeks flush. “I am not sure about that.” his ears wiggle lovingly, “What I am sure about, is how lucky I am to have you.” The music man caresses the smaller animatronic’s face.
“I feel the same.”
The robotic bear raises his eyebrow. “Is that a line from the movie?” He asked. The animatronic giant smirks, “Maaaybe~.” The two chuckle as they snuggle together.

Learn the Alphabet with Aria + Friends ;
273,175 views • 15 Mar 2021 • uploaded by [haechanieski]
A is for: “Adios”
Filming a JCC episode was always something Aria looked forward to - either because she got to watch it later and laugh, or she was a guest star herself. Johnny had taken it upon himself to uphold the communication part of his series name, and asked Aria to teach Czennie some Irish while she was around.
“And how do you say goodbye?”
“Adios!” Aria spoke with full confidence, a beaming smile directed to the camera.
Johnny behind her snorted. “Adios?”
Aria blinked, before spluttering. “Oh no not adios that’s the wrong - that’s not Irish.”
“Isn’t that Spanish?”
“...yeah.”
B is for: “Baby~”
Aria was leant forward her knees, eyes fixated on the laptop in front of her that was playing the 90s Love music video. It was the first time she had seen it edited and polished, and she was anxiously anticipating her own scenes.
An Aria appeared on the screen, running her tongue over her top teeth before scrunching her nose and giving the camera a wink. She spun on her heel, tossing a jacket over her shoulder and tilted her head so her sultry smirk was visible to the camera.
The boys around her clamored loudly, and Aria cringed away from the video - right into Ten’s awaiting embrace who clasped her head in his grip and stopped her from turning her head away from the laptop.
“Baby~” Ten sang, curling his arms around Aria. “My baby is all grown up~”
Aria whined, thrashing weakly in Ten’s grip in an attempt to shake the boy off. “Nooo.”
“My baby~”
C is for: “Chewing Gum”
“Yes! It’s been a long time since we performed our debut song.” Aria took over from Chenle who had been speaking into the phone cradled in his hands. The voice-only vlive had been unplanned, and neither idol had been willing to put their messy bedheads on video for their fans to immortalize on twitter.
Chenle snickered. “Noona is just thankful that she gets to wear things other than pajamas on stage now,” He teased, jostling the phone as he leant over to poke her.
“That’s not true! Bubblegum will always have a special place in my heart.” Aria defended herself, crossing her arms in front of her stomach to protect it.
Chenle retracted his hand to stare up at Aria with a disbelieving face. She looked back at him, as the boy burst into laughter.
“Bubblegum?”
“Chewing gum! I said chewing gum. You misheard me.”
“Bubblegum-” Chenle was wheezing, hand gripping Aria’s arm tightly.
“I’m a foreigner! I have an accent!”
“Noona, that’s in English?!”
D is for: “Deicide”
“Jaemin! Leave me alon- ow.” Aria’s attempts to fight off a cuddly boy proved ineffective, the boy in question succeeding in drawing the squirming girl onto his lap and securing her in position with his arms around her waist.
Aria let out a long-suffering sigh, closing her eyes in resignation.
“Okay, yes, okay. Fine. I’m done you win.”
Jaemin smiled, satisfied, and tucked his head into the crook of Aria’s neck, humming to himself. His content mood was quickly yanked away from him however, as Aria leant down to whisper in his ear.
“Jaeminne. If you don’t let me go to finish doing my hair, I’m going to remind you of the fact that I have zero qualms with deicide, and you have yet to reach god-like standards.”
Paling slightly, he retracted his hands and Aria pressed a quick kiss to his cheek before hopping off his thigh.
E is for: “Eomma”
Aria squealed as she was tackled down, hitting the ground with a thunk as Jaehyun leapt for her from across the room. “No no no I’m sorry I take it back I take it back-”
Jaehyun was grinning down at her as he slid his hands up her sides and began to tickle her, pinning down her flailing arms as she tried to hit him. “Oh yeah? You’re sorry now?”
“Yes! Yes I’m sorry I promise - you’re not - I didn’t mean it -” Aria struggled to get the words out, unable to catch her breath.
“Eomma!” She cried out, face red and hurting with how much she was laughing. “Help mee~”
F is for: “Fudge”
Stumbling around the dorm in the dark was never a good idea, but it was late and the other members besides herself and Donghyuck were already asleep. Aria hadn’t wanted to disturb them, so the only lighting the pair had was the fading light from their phone flashlights.
“I can’t see it, but I know I put it down here somewhere? Do you think it’s behind the tab- FU-dge. I like fudge, do you like fudge?” Aria leant over the table to rest her arm on Donghyuck’s shoulder, peering at him curiously.
Her eyes were pinched with pain, and she was hopping slightly.
“Did you stub your toe on the table?”
“Psh, no! This is a serious question Hyuck. Fudge preferences are serious business.”
G is for: “Gorgeous”
“Oh! Gorgeous dahling. Positively stunning.” Aria spoke in a pompous voice, face pulled down with pinched lips and squinted eyes and obnoxiously raised eyebrows. She fluttered her hand around in an aggressively dramatic hand gesture, before spinning on her heel to flounce out of the room.
Mark and Taeyong exchanged a wide eyed glance. Clearly the ‘Greek God’ inspired video had gone more to her head than they had previously anticipated.
H is for: *intense heavy breathing*
Jungwoo took one look at Aria lying on the practice room floor, and immediately proceeded to flop down - belly first - onto the unsuspecting girl. Aria let out an oof, choking slightly at the sudden weight on her chest.
“Jung-w-oo,” She coughed out, slapping weakly at the weight of the older boy.
He only hummed in response, not moving from his position, despite the fact that Aria’s zip on her hoodie was digging into his cheek. He swung his arms up to cover her shoulders, and soon he was lying completely on top of her, obscuring the smaller girl from view.
All was quiet for a moment, before Aria broke the silence with exaggerated, heavy breathing, panting for air. Her eyes widened comically, and she was smiling despite the fact that Jungwoo was actually crushing her lungs slightly.
Still, no attempt was made to get off her, and she slowly resigned herself to her fate.
I is for: “I surrender”
The camera was set up a safe distance away, so that when the bag of flour fell to the ground and poofed up in the inevitable cloud of white dust - the piece of equipment was unharmed. Because of this, it was given a perfect view of the sequence of events that immediately followed:
Aria, grip-less in her socked feet stepped backwards out of the flour coating the floor, misjudged the circumference of the circular cloud that had by then settled, and promptly slipped over, clattering to the ground with a thud and disappearing behind the counter with a half-formed yelp.
The screen was empty for a moment, still, before a hand shot up from behind the counter, coated in the white flour.
“I surrender,” Aria waved her hand back and forth like a flag, commiserating with the now ruined flour lining the tiled floor.
J is for: “Jesus Christ”
The walls were lined with fake and real cobwebs alike, barely visible in the complete lack of light offered from the red blinking lights of the cameras that recorded each NCT 127 member as they crawled their way tentatively through the haunted house’s hallways.
Aria shuffled past old beams that looked far too close to collapse for comfort, sneezing after her nose was ticked by a hanging vine that she hadn’t seen before it was already brushing her nose as she scooted past.
The hallways were quiet, only the sound of her own breathing audible to her heightened senses. That was, until a hand shot out from behind a load-bearing beam, gnarled nails reaching to grab at her skin.
She jumped back, letting out a vocal-chord ripping shriek. “Jesus Christ!”
K is for: *Kiss*
“So, Aria is not a lover of skinship?” The question was posed to Taeyong, the leader having been given the choice to choose his member’s punishment after losing the game they had been playing.
Taeyong let out a short chuckle, seeing where the interviewer was going with their question. “No, no she’s not. Only if we initiate it - and she’ll normally kick us off pretty quickly.”
Aria was shaking her head, making slicing motions in front of her neck to signal Taeyong to stop, no, please anything but that, stop it-
Taeyong paid no mind to her, and soon Aria was settled on a stool in the centre of the studio floor, knees tucked into her chest as Jaemin, Ten, Doyoung and Taeil - the members of her losing team - all gathered around her in a circle.
One by one, they all pressed a single kiss to her cheek, Aria cringing away from Ten’s hold when he went to press another peck to her forehead, and Doyoung coming behind her to hold her still.
When the four boys retreated, Aria was red in the face, the blush adorning her cheeks visible despite the foundation.
L is for: “You don’t love me”
“Hyuck, I have to go.”
“Noooo.” The boy whined from his position sprawled over the mattress, legs spread and hands clutching onto Aria’s wrist to prevent her from leaving. “Stay. M’comfy.”
Aria sighed, tugging at her wrist futilely. “Hyuck, I’m literally going to the bathroom. I’ll be five minutes - less if you let me go now.”
Donghyuck only whined louder, tightening his grip. “No!”
Tossing her head back to the ceiling, Aria yanked her hand out of his grip, plugging her ears against the screech of protest that left Donghyuck’s mouth.
“NO! Come back!”
When Aria made no motion to return, having exited through the doorway hastily, he threw himself back onto the bed. “You don’t love me anymore!”
Her response echoed down the hallway, punctuated by the slamming of the bathroom door. “I do! You’re just a big baby and I needed to go!”
M is for: *Mine*
Aria slid beneath the reaching arm of their maknae, patting him on the side to make him edge a little to the left as she too reached for one of the cookies that were set up on the small snack table.
The white chocolate chips were tempting her, and after staring at the still-full plate for twenty minutes, there was only so much she could do in terms of self restraint.
Scurrying back to her original seat, she settled back in comfortably, bringing the cookie up to her mouth and nibbling at the crunchy edge of the treat.
N is for: “Neo”
“Nono?” Aria bent her neck down to peer at the boy who had entered through the door, dropped his bag, slid off his shoes and then promptly snuggled himself into Aria’s side without so much as a hello.
Jeno nodded in acknowledgement, but made no attempt to explain his curious behaviour.
“Dude,” Aria sighed, hand already moving to run through his hair despite her long-suffering eyeroll, “You’re not being very neo right now.”
O is for: “Ow”
Sitting beside Mark in any context was never a good idea when one wasn’t wearing sleeves or long trousers. He was a very, volatile, laugher, and once he got going it was impossible to stop.
Unfortunately for Aria, her short dress afforded her neither of the aforementioned luxuries, and so she was sure that by the end of the day she was going to be covered in black and purpling bruises from Mark’s non-malicious attacks.
The movie on the screen flickered to a new scene, one that sent Mark into another burst of raucous laughter. His hand raised, and clapped down on Aria’s arm, again, and again, and again.
“Ow, ow, ow ow ow ow, Mark!”
P is for: “Potato juice”
Lucas held up his glass to the camera, grinning as he said, “Apple juice!”
Taeyong bit back a smile as Jungwoo fit himself into the frame, holding his own glass and affirming Lucas’ statement. “Apple juice!”
The camera was spun around, focusing briefly on the apostles of darkness who held up their own glasses of apple juice, before it panned down the row to where Aria was sitting, cradling a glass of clear liquid in her hands that she was taking small sips from.
Taking notice of the camera focusing on her, she took another sip of her glass before holding it up in a cheers. “Potato juice!” She cheered, bringing it back to her lips and paying no mind to the startled cough Doyoung let out, choking on his own apple juice.
Doyoung spun to the camera, gently pulling the glass from Aria’s grasp. “Water. It’s water.” His tone dropped a few decibels, “Did Jaehyun give you this? I’ll kill him.”
Q is for: “Quickly”
“Quickly! Hurry up!” Renjun yelled, rushing over to help Aria into the inflatable costume to begin her run.
“Yah, Renjun! I’m not on your team stop yelling at me!” Aria retorted, pushing his fumbling hands away and pulling up the straps onto her shoulders.
R is for: “Ruff”
The door swung open with a quiet creak, Donghyuck only hearing it when the handle made contact with the wall behind it. He spun around in his chair, eyebrow lifting at the sight of Aria partially in through the doorway. “Hey?”
“Ruff.” Aria blinked at him, unmoving.
“Uh, ruff?” Donghyuck responded in kind, his eyebrows now knitting together in confusion.
Nodding satisfactorily, Aria exited the room with a wave. “Mark! I told you I could get him to bark on live.”
S is for: “Saranghae”
It was a group-wide agreement that in 127, the title for cutest either went to one of the maknaes, or their oldest hyung. Apparently that agreement also spread over stan-twitter, because suddenly Taeil and Aria were being pitted against each other in an aeygo-off. Fan edits and polls were made, and TaeilvsAria was trending on Twitter for nearly a week.
Eager to encourage the trend, it was all too easy for the staff to set the pair up in front of a camera and press record.
Two minutes in, and neither member had broken, both maintaining their stoic faces - although Aria’s lip was slightly red from being bitten, having resorted to pinching the skin between her lips to prevent a smile from breaking out on her face when Taeil had tucked his hands underneath his chin and pouted.
She inhaled, thinking hard on how to end the competition swiftly, exhaling with a small smile as she settled on her next plan of attack.
Spinning around, Aria set her gaze on Taeil, letting her eyes widen and her lips fall into a natural pout.
“Oppa~” She wheedled, moving to clasp his hand in hers. “Saranghae~”
Taeil’s face crumpled, and he closed his eyes in defeat as he dragged Aria into his embrace. “Cheater.”
T is for: “Tough biscuits”
“But what if I don’t want to?” Yangyang argued, pointing at Aria.
“Then, tough biscuits.” Aria stuck out her tongue in retaliation, stealing the game controller from his hands and flicking the game to Minecraft. “I suck at those shooty-games, let me have this.”
U is for: “Unnie”
With her mask pulled up over her nose and lips, Aria was pretty confident that she wasn’t going to be recognized by a member of the public as she strolled down the street towards the coffee shop that had recently opened its doors a few streets over.
She was humming happily, but jolted as she felt an arm snake itself around her waist. Immediately on high-alert, she went to push the unknown person away, before catching a glimpse of their face.
“Unnie!” Aria’s entire demeanor changed, face breaking out into a bright smile beneath the black facemask.
Irene smiled back at her, squeezing her waist lightly. “Hey, angel! How’re you?”
V is for: “Very untrue”
“And Aria normally naps during this time anyway, so we should be happy she’s awake for this.” Jaemin informed the few thousand czennie watching the vlive, phone tucked in between two chairs in the greenroom.
Aria’s mouth dropped open at the obvious betrayal. “Hey! Very untrue! False information! You liar, I do not.”
Jaemin snickered, leaning into the phone. “You can see the marks on her cheek from the arm of the chair too, right czennie?”
The dancer leant over and thumped him on the back of his head for that.
W is for: “Wait wait wait-”
Aria was sprinting down the hallway, phone clutched to her chest and panting. Yuta followed in quick pursuit, rapidly gaining thanks to longer legs and shoes that offered more grip than the tenuous grip offered by Aria’s slippers.
“Wait wait wait, Yuta, no I don’t want to die!” She breathed, pumping her legs faster in an attempt to flee from almost certain death. Perhaps, taking candid photos of the man while he was unconsciously snuggled up to Mark’s side as he slept was, in hindsight, not the best idea.
Yuta was rapidly gaining on her, despite her best efforts.
“Please don’t kill me!”
X is for: “Xièxiè”
Accepting the glass from Kun’s hand, Aria smiled up at the man. “Xièxiè.”
Kun, who was already moving away and back into the kitchen responded in kind, before flinging himself into another bout of conversation; but this time, with a language switch.
Being so used to the constant flip-flopping between languages in the WAYV dorms, he thought nothing of it, but after asking a question and receiving no response, he peered back into the main living area to see Aria sitting there with a puzzled expression on her face.
“Uh, Xièxiè?”
Y is for: “Yessir”
Taeyong explained what it is Aria had to complete for her mission, handing her a small slip of paper that she was to hide from the other team before they came into the makeshift base that had been constructed a few minutes prior.
Aria nodded, completely serious. “Yes sir.”
He waved her away, happy that she understood the level of importance that he had just entrusted her with, and Aria happily departed from the conversation -
By the means of vaulting a table and scrambling over a chair before exiting the door.
Taeyong blinked. And then shrugged, turning his attention elsewhere.
Z is for: *Zzzz*
Snuggled up beneath a blanket is exactly where Aria wanted to be at that very moment - not sitting in the back of a van, squished between Johnny and Yuta. The two men were broad-shoulders, and that left Aria to be batted between the two like a ping-pong ball.
Despite the abrasions to her temple however, Aria found herself slowly drifting off - the lengthy schedules and lack of sleep finally catching up on her.
Her head dropped to the side, first falling forward before it was gently maneuvered onto Yuta’s shoulder, where he tucked her closer and into his side.
Letting out a pleased hum, Aria snuggled closer into his warm coat, sighing softly as she drifted to sleep.
thank you for watching ! - haechanieski

Ten More Minutes (My Hero Academia)
One Shot
I’ve never written wake-up tickles before so this was a fun prompt to do! And it ended up being the cutest thing ever, omg. I really like this one! Enjoy! ^^
Warning: This fic is SFW, but it implies some NSFW activities.
Note: This fic will remain unconnected to my other MHA fics. It’s a oneshot story.
~
Bakugou groaned as he blinked open his eyes. The sunlight streamed in from his window and nearly blinded him when he rolled over, making him groan all over again. He reached for his phone and pressed the home button. The screen lit up with the time. 7:19 AM.
I’ve got to get a move on, he thought, pushing himself up into a seated position, and that’s when he saw it. A leg propped up on the edge of his bed, leading down to the body of a still slumbering Deku, who lay on the floor with his arm being used as a pillow and zero blankets.
Bakugou stared for a moment, blinking, confused. But then he remembered. Right. We spent the night. I forgot. I could have sworn we both passed out on the bed, though. He gently pushed Deku’s leg away and climbed off his mattress to kneel on the floor beside his green-haired friend. Well…more than a friend, now.
“Hey, nerd,” he murmured gently, nudging Deku’s shoulder. “Get up. It’s already after seven; class starts in less than an hour. Let’s go.”
Deku groaned much like Bakugou had, but didn’t move.
“Hey. Deku.” The blonde nudged him a little harder. “Get up. It’s time for school.”
“Noooo,” Deku whined softly, weakly batting at the air where Bakugou was. “Ten more minutes.”
“Ten more minutes and you’ll be late.” Bakugou sighed, getting slightly annoyed but mostly feeling guilty. It was kind of his own fault Deku was so tired now. “Come on, nerd. Up. Now.” When the green-haired hero still refused to obey, he slid a hand under his shirt and started trailing his fingers up and down the boy’s spine. “Deku.”
Deku – as expected – broke into a wide smile but still refused to move, stubborn as ever. Bakugou began to purposefully skitter his fingers between his shoulder blades, smirking when the “sleeping” figure started to giggle.
“Kacchan, noooo,” Deku whined again, starting to curl into a ball. “Ten more minutes.”
“You’re going to make both of us late to class.” Bakugou used his other hand to start poking along his side. “Get up, nerd.”
“K-Kahahahacchan.” Deku’s giggles were quiet, tired, but still genuine. He curled up even more. “Stohohohohop.”
Bakugou let out a heavy sigh. He pulled Deku’s legs back down, moving to straddle his hips. Then he grabbed the boy’s wrists and shoved them above his head, pinning them there. He growled in a low voice, “You had your chance, Deku.” Then he leaned down and started nibbling gently along the smaller hero’s neck and ears, grinning when Deku squealed and started squirming for real this time.
“Ehehehehehehehehehe! Kacchan, nohohohohohoho!” He tried twisting his head out of the way, but it did no good. Bakugou kept up with him easily. “I’m up, I’m uhuhuhuhuhup!”
“Too late.” Keeping his wrists firmly pinned with one hand and still nibbling gently, Bakugou slid his free hand under Deku’s shirt to pinch his side. “What was it you said? Ten more minutes?”
“Nohohohohohohohohoho!” Deku began giggling steadily now, squirming under the blonde’s touch. “I’m awahahahahake, Kacchan! Stohohohohohop!”
“I’m sure you are now. All the better for you to feel my tickling wrath.” Bakugou chuckled. “Hey Siri – set a timer for ten minutes.” When he heard the ding indicating Siri had complied, his grin turned wicked. “All right. Now we can really have some fun.”
“Kahahahahcchan!” Deku felt a wave of excitement come over him when he realized his crush intended to tickle him until the timer was up. Still, he squirmed as Bakugou brought his arms down to his sides and pinned them there, using his teeth to pull up his shirt and then nibble along his ribs and stomach. Deku squealed. “Ahahahahahahahahaha! Nohohohohoho, not thahahahahahahat!”
“What’s the matter? I thought you liked it when I used my mouth.” He winked, making Deku blush a dark red.
“Plehehehehease, I’m awahahahahahake! I’ll get up, plehehehease!”
“I know you will. As soon as you get your ten more minutes.”
For the first half of the allotted time, Bakugou continued to kiss and nibble along Deku’s torso, occasionally pinching a side or tweaking a rib for an extra ticklish sensation, keeping him in constant giggles with that trademark bright smile on his face that the blonde found so adorable.
Then, when he figured he had only a couple of minutes left, he grabbed onto Deku’s hips and started kneading, sending the green-haired boy into immediate hysterics.
“AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA NOOOOO!! KACCHAN NOHOHOHOT THEHEHEHERE!!” Deku pleaded, laughter pouring from his lips in endless waves. He shook his head and tried to push him away, but Bakugou was immovable, and that wicked smirk he was wearing looked unfairly good on him, and it only made Deku even more flustered. “STAHAHAHAHAHAP, PLEHEHEHEHEHEASE, I’LL GEHEHEHET—!!”
Bakugou crushed his lips against Deku’s, effectively silencing his cries and becoming even more in control than he already was, as Deku was forced to gasp for breath from both the tickling and the spontaneous make-out session at the same time.
When the timer went off, Bakugou stopped his assault but didn’t climb off of Deku, remaining in a looming position over him while Deku looked up at him with a flushed face and bright eyes, wide awake at last. The way his rival had his hands fisted into Bakugou’s shirt made the blonde’s heart skip a beat.
“Morning, Kacchan,” Deku said breathlessly, still smiling widely up at him.
Bakugou let out a soft laugh of his own. “Morning, nerd.” He kissed him again briefly, then finally climbed off of him. “Get up. If we’re late to class, you’d better believe I’m going to tickle you way longer than ten minutes when school’s over.”

DID THEY ACTUALLY PUT THE JAYA SHIP NAME INTO THE SHOW??? OMG GUYS THE FANDOM IS TAKING OVER THE SHOW AT LAST!!! 🤯🤯🤯 The electric Jaya, heeeyy, niiicee 😎😎😎
HOW CUTE CAN YOU BE
MY SHIP 💙❤💙❤ They even gave each other high gives... this is neat, and it means something awful will happen right 🙂
Commissioner: he's saying something about a giant snake... and the end of the world... didn't we already have something like that?
Okay yep, he did the trick while fighting Nya, dang Kalmaar is sneaky! Not too shabby... but I gotta say, the summoning of the Great Devourer was a lot more dramatic 🤣🤣 Props to the serpentine, still my favorite snakes 💪💪
Wojira seems to be a little smaller than the Devourer maybe? His head way bigger than the bounty, while hers is not that massive even in comparison with Kalmaar
I might be wrong but at first glance, I stand by my opinion and by the superiority of the OG giant snake 🤷♀️
Yep Glutine guy did have a change of heart, better late than never 🤷♀️
You're telling me that Jay doesn't do engineering anymore, okay... HOW IS KAI A BETTER SOLUTION??? 🤣🤣🤣 Lol look at the messy brothers, love Lloyd and Kai so much I miss them interact 💚❤💚❤
Thank you Kelly for the alert 😗
It makes me wonder if they actually do have simulations of evacuations often, it would be pretty smart considering the city 🤷♀️
OKINO IS THERE HI DUDE!!! 😍 I hope he's doing great! 🥰🥰
Gail Gossip! Been a while!
WOW, this is going Deluge like, my first Spinjitzu Master! 😱 How... how do we go with three episodes from here? Like, I'm guessing Nya will have to do what Nyad did before her (which TERRIFIES me), so are they going to struggle trying to find another way? IDK BUT I'M IN LET'S GO!! 🤯
ASSAULT ON NINJAGO CITY
Alright, pretty straightforward title, let's see what we got here!
Tourists?... that actually makes sense, I mean, I would want to visit all the places where history was made on this island 😍 Aww nice to see they remember the battle against Garmy of Hunted, also that it is known that Jay was the one who faced Unagami 👍👍
DARETH!!! 🤎🤎🤎
Where have you been you knucklehead, I've missed you! 💕 I think I've last seen him in a commercial from the Fire Chapter?
This is a terrible guide 😵 Not knowing the brown ninja? Owner of the dojo the Green Ninja had trained in? Brief commander of the Stone Army? Master of makeup and puffy potstickers? Unforgivable, someone fire this woman ASAP 😡😡
LOOK AT DARETH TAKING CHARGE!!! 🤩 He's right, he should get involved every once in a while, come on guys!
Ah okay good, I'm not the only one struggling with that google snake name 😂
Yay Bentho is fully integrated with the team! He is a great addiction, like, I know he'll probably take the throne at the end or something but I do hope we'll need his help again in the future! 💙
Sometimes I forget how much I love Kai and Zane interacting 🤣 The brainiac and the airhead 🤍❤🤍❤
Oh right, Cole came back from Shintaro! So... now in this extremely secret city there is a fake amulet hanging into a highly secured place... how is it always Shintaro the keeper of flukes? 😂😂
A bath as a boat but it has a whole 😂😂 I love this show's randomness
What ears are they supposed to cover 😅
I LOVE THIS ATMOSPHERE!!! 😍😍😍 Between the gray sky of storm and the sea underneath, this is the perfect scenario for Wojira and it's not even forced! I love how they are handling backgrounds for Ninjago recently, I really hope it gets as good as in the finale of Prime Empire 💙💙💙
AAAAAAHHHHHhhhhh okay for a moment I was scared Wojira was going to eat Jay 😅 After The Island this is already the second time Bluebell risks it... STOP
WHY THE CLIFFHANGER!?!?
NUUUUU WHAT NOW??? 😱😱😱 We have two more episodes, how is this going to end? I DON'T KNOW AND I REALLY WANT TO PLEASE GIVE ME A GOOD FINALE SEABOUND!!! 🙇♀️🙇♀️🙇♀️
NYAD
I AM SCARED FOR MY WATER LILY OKAY
Daaaang she can just float on that? She got super good at controlling water! Now I want her and Kai just randomly flying around with their powers 😂😂 Kai got missiles in his hands come on 🔥🔥🔥
JAY CAN YOU LET ME WORRY ABOUT YOU GUYS ONE AT THE TIME??? 😱
What would Kai do? WHAT WOULD KAI DO?? DID YOU DECIDE YOU WANT TO DIE JAY WHY WOULD YOU THINK OF HIM??? ... although technically Kai is the only one with Jay who didn't straight up die before coming back to life in a dramatic moment... huh... Kai might be the most reasonable choice after all 😅
We grew up from Ninja never quit to NINJA AREN'T IDIOTS AND KNOW WHEN TO GET THE HECK OUT 😎😎 Even our motto got a character development 💪
JAY NOOOOOOOO 😱😱😱😱
BENTHO YAAAAAAASSSS 🥳🥳🥳🥳 Did I ever say that I love shark boy? BECAUSE I FREAKING DO!! 💙
Master prankster Wu once again, take that empty ship Calamari head 😎 Although the poor bounty doesn't deserve to get destroyed as many times as it did until now, it's my favorite ship... pun intended 😜
Ah more ninjajan, wait a moment
"Auto Pilot". Fair enough, although I was hoping for a "psych" or something 😂😂
NO WAIT NO WHAT THE HECK!!! I THOUGHT JAY GOT SAVED HE INHALED WATER??!? BLUEBELL NOOOO!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
But Cole running to his best friend immediately? HECK yes 🖤💙🖤💙
NYA CARRYING HER BOYFRIEND BRIDAL STYLE THIS IS THE RIGHTEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN!!! ❤💙❤💙❤💙❤💙 Gosh this season gave me amazing Jaya moments, I've been fed 👌👌
Okay Lloyd pacing back and forth? Kai already mad at their enemies? All the guys eager to help Jay? MY FAVORITE NINJA FAMILY BABY!!! 😎😎
I NEED A MOMENT 😭
Oh... oh gosh I knew Nya doing the Nyad thing was meant to happen, but this way? My heart is melting already 😭
I remember a post that said that Jay told Nya that he loves her many times, while she never did. Tommy reponded that she lets her actions speak... boy do I see it now, I see all of her love 😢😢
I never felt such conflicting emotions for a villain like I do for Kalmaar, like, he caused so much pain to Nya... but he is voiced by Giles... but he is the reason Jay is hurt... but that startle gag 😂😂😂
Okay this? Is adorable?
What the HECK? The police in this city is generally not very helpful, but the Commissioner is very wholesome 💜
Nyaaaaaaa 😭😭😭😭 I didn't think it was possible to love her even more, she was ignored for so long during the show, but now we finally see all of her. She is an amazing warrior, a selfless person, and a real hero 💪💪 And coming from such a mature girl that doesn't like to act irrationally, this means so much more
Jaya grew up so much, it went through some very questionable phases yes, but what they have here? It's the result of all they had lived together 💙❤💙❤
I have chills, this is amazing so far, I'm legit scared of going further 😱
SHE SAID IT!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭 Okay this moment, everything, EVERYTHING, is absolutely marvelous. Nya said I love you without a voice, alone, showing again that she values the actions more, but still her feelings are 100% truthful. Then the transformation (THERE IT IS HER BEAUTIFUL WATER FORM 😍😍😍), Jay getting saved, the realization of what she just did from everyone... DANG IT IT'S ALL BEAUTIFUL HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO THINK OF THIS SCENE???
*slow clap for Bragi, Tommy, and the Ninjago crew*
Jay and water Nya with their hands together gives me big The Form of Water vibes... LOVE THAT MOVIE WHO'S READY FOR AN AU??
Jay wants to help her, I had no doubt 💙 They always help each other in these BOUNDs seasons 😍😍😍
Kalmaar: where are the ninja??
Commissioner: I don't know, they are ninja!
FINAL BATTLE INCOMING AAAAHHH I HOPE THIS WILL HAVE A GOOD ENDING OMG BRING IT!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
THE TURN OF THE TIDE
Oh, curious title? It feels a little vague, I don't really know what it could be
YES GIRL GO GET HIS CALAMARI BUTT HECK YES!!! Just how cool can you be for walking slowly while the attacks go straight through you? 😂
Hey Nya still recognizes Jay! 😃😃
HEY NYA GOT VAPORIZED WTH 😱😱 It's too early, I don't believe that's it!
WHOA JAY WENT BERSERK JUST NOW!! I don't think I've seen this before, this is the coolest thing! 💙💙💙 I just love when he shows how strong he is, you can be a comic relief AND kick butts 😎
FIGHTING ANIMATIONS MAN I LOVE THESE SCENES!! 😍😍😍
What the- was... was that a cameo of the lightning chicken? Ninjago what the HECK I love your randomness 😂😂
BENTHOMAAR TAGS IN!!! Showing off why he is best boy of the season 💙 These fightings are very cool but I can't help imagining Wojira just chilling while there are midgets getting very angry at each other onto her head 🤣🤣🤣
WHOA, CALAMARI BITE! Kalmaar got the Pythor treatment... might change color by next season if he returns 😅
(Please return I loved having Giles' voice in this season 💙💙💙)
NYA IS A DRAGON!!! I REPEAT NYA IS A DRAGON!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍 I was wondering where the dragon moment was, this is Ninjago after all 🤷♀️
Head empty, just Jay smiling softy at Nya because he loves her 💙💙💙
IT'S RAINING NYA, HALLELUIA IT'S RAINING NYA, HEYE!! ☔☔☔ This fight is MASSIVE! We had finales with big creatures before but now one of the ninja is big enough to face them and that's 🤯
NYA DID IT!!! 🤩🤩🤩 ... now onto the angst that I KNOW it's coming
Kai being unbelieving is tragic, and Jay's "don't leave me" broke my heart. Please end this misery, where is the deus ex machina that solves everything?
Wait she left?
...
WAIT SHE ACTUALLY LEFT??? WHAT THE HECK THEY AREN'T ENDING IT LIKE THIS
...
OH MY GOSH
ARE THEY?!?
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Omg the grief in this is beautiful, nice to see Jay and Maya so close to each other! Also Kai leaning onto his mom while Cole is comforting his best best friend? Amazing, they really do these scenes great 👌
EVERYONE SHOWED UP I LOVE THIS CITY SO MUCH 😭😭😭 Aww Ed and Edna, wasn't this such a sad situation I would be so much happier to see you guys 🥺
Master Wu even mentioned that she built Samurai X, you really want to make me cry now do you? 🥺🥺
MAYA AND RAY 😢😢😢😢😢😢
Omg look at Cole being there for his best friend, he is amazing 🖤💙🖤💙
I have such Rebooted vibes from this... is it hopeful? That Nya comes back like Zane? She's no nindroid but still... oh my gosh they got her symbol on the vase I just noticed, I need more tissues 😭😭
"In loving memory of Kirby Morrow". Always in our hearts 🖤🖤🖤
...
Wow
WOW
THEY ACTUALLY DID IT I NEED ANOTHER MOMENT 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 WHAT IN THE WORLD THIS IS THE BIGGEST CHANGE THEY DID IN A WHILE!!!
AND NOW WHAT??? 🤯🤯🤯
FINAL THOUGHTS
I'm speechless... like that's true, have A LOT to write over here 😅
This type of plot twist reminds me of our early seasons. Zane sacrificing himself, Garmadon giving up his life, those moments that made me so curious and excited about the following. I have no idea what will be the outcome for this, but I can't wait to find out
With that out of the way, AMAZING SEASON 😍😍😍 I think this finale beats MoM's, just because it was really unexpected and opens up a SEA of possibilities... yeah too soon 😭
I'm still shaken, my world, they did something HUGE and I do hope it will be a good shake to the entire Ninjago plotline. Nya is "gone", we still don't know about the person behind all that vengestone, we haven't heard from Garmy in forever, there are so many good ideas out there now that they've set the ground for more 🤩🤩
Voice acting was *chef's kiss*, not only for the villain which I already stressed enough about, I think Kelly reached a new level of emotional intimacy with Nya and I'm so happy she showed her skills 💜💜
Animation is TOP, there's little to no point into saying anything else since they showed it very clearly in the latest season ☺
This was the emotional, witty and engaging writing I was looking for! Good jokes, meaningful dialogues, emotional scenes, everything was really good and I'm gonna rewatch some scenes especially for that 😍
It turned out having Maya and Ray back was kind of a distraction to fool us all 😅😅 Well played actually, and it was very cool seeing them again in any case 🙋♀️
And now? Jay lost his love, I have no idea if the show will work on him getting over her or hold onto her memory (thinking of Jay probably the latter, although I do think that handling the first would be an interesting idea). KAI LOST HIS SISTER 😢😢😢 I have no doubt he's gonna beat himself up for it, like he did when Zane was gone too. Everyone lost their friend, she had become such a vital part of the team and now she is not here anymore it will be hard...
They are back with the four plus one green savior formation, I sincerely don't know how I feel about that 😅 I'm always happy when we get the OGs, but this is about going on without Nya... maybe Skylor will be called? Or Pixal will be more active? That could be interesting to see, who knows 🤷♀️🤷♀️
Gosh, how are they going to handle the next season? It will have to give A LOT of answers to the millions questions we all have right now. Man I can't wait, it could be anything!!! This is a Ninjago revolution!
But if I have to mention a little complain, and I'm a fangirl so I absolutely have to, Kai didn't show much of a reaction to Nya's "departure". Okay, she didn't straight up die like in Skybound (I'm gonna fear all BOUND seasons from now on 😱), but he's her brother and he loves deeply his family. Either we're gonna see him go all out next season, or the writers really did only focus on Jaya. A tiny bit salty... but you got me a fantastic finale so I'll move on 👍
Outstanding, I'm blown away. Whenever I think I'm used to this show they do stuff like this. I'm so glad and sad you guys 😅 But mostly happy that despite everything I still get very strong emotions while I watch this long time favorite show of mine 💜💜💜
What else can I say at this point? ONTO NEXT SEASON!!! 🤩🤩🤩
Thank you for reading me freaking out over LEGO spinning ninja as always! It helps me calm down but this time it might be harder thant the others... *sobs*
I need to lay down and process all of this, I'll be on my way 😂😂 BYE!!! 💜

OC Interview: Valoop
Draw (or use an old drawing, don’t worry!) or take a screen of your character in an interview setting and make them answer the following questions!
This Interview is sponsered by @shimmerwing-skyscale
INTRODUCTION
Can you introduce yourself?: Commander's name is Valoop!
What is your gender identity, orientation and relationship status?: You can refer to Commander as "she" and forget about the rest. Commander is too busy for that.
Where and when were you born?: Quaggan hatched twenty-seven years ago in the Village of Kaloipoi which is in the Frostgorge sound. In the winter all the surface was full of ice and in the summer whales would sometimes swim overhead. A beautiful Village.
What is your weapon of choice and fighting style?: This spear Quaggan got from a coddler when I became too big to be around the eggs. Commander tends to stagger and topple enemies to bring them to the ground.
Lastly, are you happy?: Hoo, this is a tough question. When you give Quaggan food, Quaggan is!
FAMILY AND FRIENDS
What’s your family like? What is your relationship with them?: Commander hasn't heard from her family since she joined the Vigil. But Commander has done everything she could so they can be safe and happy in Falooaloo
Have you ever ran away from home?: We all have. Kaloipoi is empty of quaggans now. It's hard to protect the little ones when the water is full of icebrood
Would you consider marriage or having children?: Only if Commander would not be commander anymore. So no.
Do you secretly hate one of your friend?: Commander is not good at keeping secrets like that. People know when Commander doesn't like them.
Which friend knows everything about you?: Aurene has her Vision pool, Commander thinks she knows just about everything.
ASKED BY FANS
Are you literate? Have you been to school?: Coddlers have taught Quaggan to read and write quaggan words, and she has learned to speak New Krytan from Vigil on the shore. Commander's friend Forgal taught hert to read it too.
The eeriest prediction you made that later came true?: Quaggan's Mother always said "you bite everything that gets close to you. One day you will get stuck on something and carried off" which kind of happened.
What is something you were embarrassingly late to realize?: Being an unusual quaggan isn't something terrible. Commander used to be so worried about it.
Do you have mental health or physical issues?: Noooo. Commander is in best health.
What is your current main goal?: Commander is working on eliminating the Icebrood. Kaloipoi doesn't have to be free of quaggans for ever.
CHOICES
Drink or food?: Food. You may guess that drink is less important if you swim in it.
Cats or dogs?: Commander doesn't like to keep pets. Out of these two options, Commander likes cats more. They are smaller.
Early bird or night owl?: Commander likes to watch stars very much, but to do stuff day is much better. It's hard to choose
Optimist or pessimist?: People always tell Commander that "There is always another threat to face" isn't as optimistic as I say it is.
Sassy or sarcastic?: These two aren't opposite in any way how would I choose between them!
HAVE YOU EVER
Been caught sneaking out: Many times. When Quaggan was tiny she would always swim to the surface to see clouds and Coddlers had to bring her back down.
Broke a bone: Too often to count, but quaggan bones heal very fast. They have to when we get angry.
Received flowers: Commander has gotten so many when she returned from Maguuma.
Ghosted someone: Commander doesn't know what ghosting means. She has died once if that counts?
Pretended to laugh at a joke you didn’t get: Commander is not mean like that.
I hereby tag: @commander-coppercogg idk if you have been tagged before but I haven't seen it.
#Valoop#Commander Valoop#She tends to refer to herself as Commander mostly#but when she's talking about stuff that happened before she left Kaloipoi she sometimes uses quaggan too#and very rarely when she is angry she refers to herself in first person#also Valoop may have answered some of the questions not entirely truthfully

Virgil's Betrayal
Part 3 of New Big Brother
Previous Next
Summary: Remy meets Patton’s brother and kids and proceeds to get murdered.
Warnings: Food mention, play fighting including nerf guns, manipulation but for good stuff, let me know
Remy was not nervous.
When dad guy had asked him a few days ago if he would be ok with going to the man’s brother’s house for lunch that weekend, Remy had said, “Sure.” He’d agreed to it.
So no. Remy wasn’t nervous. Even as they pulled up to the frankly huge house in a neighborhood of huge houses.
Definitely not nervous.
Virgil was practically vibrating in his seat. He’d been telling Remy all about his uncle and cousins, and what games they could play together the entire drive.
“Everybody ready?” Dad guy asked as he turned the car off.
“Yep!” Virgil told him as he quickly unbuckled himself.
Dad guy sent one of his questioning looks to Remy via the rear view mirror. Remy ignored it and climbed out of the car to follow Virgil who had already ran for the front door.
Dad guy joined them at the door as Virgil rang the bell. Remy wasn’t trying to hide behind them. They just ended up closer to the door. There was the sound of a lock being turned before someone inside the house hollered for them to come in.
As soon as they walked through the door there was the sound of footsteps running down the stairs.
"Virgil! Uncle Patton!” A pair of voices yelled before two young boys were launching themselves off the stairs towards them. Dad guy yelped in alarm as he attempted to… catch them?
“Jan, your boys are going to give me a heart attack one of these days!” The man yelled through his subdued laughter from his place on the ground.
“And I’ll help them get rid of the body.” The voice from before called. A moment later a short man appeared from what Remy assumed was the kitchen. He looked a lot like dad guy save for the fact he was definitely older than the man. And the mild scarring on the left side of his face.
“Alright boys, that’s enough abunculicide.” The man told the kids who were laughing in dad guy’s arms.
“Aw…” The pair said before releasing him.
Dad guy smiled before standing up and ruffling their hair causing one grin and the other to balk and try to fix it.
“You must be Remy.” The man said, “My name’s Janus, it’s nice to finally meet you.”
“Nice to meet you, sir.” Remy told him.
Mr. Janus smiled, “You can call me Janus.”
Yeah that was not happening.
“The two terrors who ambushed you all are my sons Roman and Remus.”
“I’m Roman.” “And I’m Remus.” The two introduced with matching bows, “And together we’re-!” They spun in opposite directions before striking poses back to back, “-the creativitwins!”
Remy couldn’t help but laugh slightly at the theatrics as dad guy clapped excitedly, “Oh that was so cute!” Dad guy told them.
“No it wasn’t!” The pair told him pointedly, “It was cool.” Roman told him.
“Yeah!” Remus agreed.
“Well whatever it was, I loved it.” Dad guy told them.
“Lunch will be ready in about a half hour,” Mr. Janus told them, “So you can all make yourselves at home.”
“Can we go outside?” Remus asked.
“Yes, but-” before the man could finish both boys took off running.
“Come on Virge!” One of them called.
The next thing Remy knew he was being grabbed by the hand and pulled towards the back yard, “Come on Remy!” Virgil told him.
Guess he was going outside.
~
“-Don’t get too dirty.” Janus finished lamely as all the minors fled to the backyard, “Well I tried.”
Patton chuckled, “Probably should’ve started with that part.”
“How many sons did you want back alive?” He asked.
Patton laughed, “Come on, I’ll help make lunch.
~
Remy watched the younger kids from his seat on the porch steps. Roman suggested playing super hero’s and was met with agreements until he suggested Virgil be the villain. Which apparently happened a lot.
“Come on, Virgil.” Roman whined, “We need a bad guy!”
“But I always lose when I play the bad guy.” Virgil told them, “Why can’t you be the bad guy and we fight you?”
“Because me and Re are the heroes.” Roman said as if it were obvious.
“We could be bad guys.” Remus told him, “The bad guys are cooler anyway.”
“Noooo.” Roman told him, “We’re the creativitwins! We’re supposed to be the good guys!”
“But we’re always the good guys!” Remus replied.
“Remy!” Virgil called, “Tell them we wanna be the heroes!”
“How about…”
~
Patton jumped when the mostly silent backyard suddenly erupted in gleeful screams.
“Welcome to the world of raising multiple children.” Janus told him.
Patton smacked his arm lightly before going to peek at the yard. The three younger boys were running around the yard at top speed as Remy made a grab for whoever got closest to him. Patton smiled as Roman yelled for a retreat before all three kids ran for the treehouse. Remy stalked after them, giving the twins enough time to make it to safety, but grabbed Virgil before he could climb high enough.
Virgil squealed as he was pulled away from the tree and yelled for help through his laughter.
Patton cooed at the sight before reluctantly going back to the kitchen.
~
Virgil laughed wildly even as Remy used him as a partially successful human shield. If he had known there were fully loaded nerf guns, Remy would’ve made it harder for them to get to the treehouse.
“Don’t worry Virge!” One of them yelled, “We’ll rescue you!”
“Dead or alive!” The other added.
Remy laughed, “It’s not a rescue if you kill him!” He told them as they continued to shoot.
“Silence feind!” The first one told him before firing more foam bullets at them.
"Any ideas?” Remy asked Virgil quietly.
“I think there’s more guns on the porch?” Virgil whispered back.
“Perfect.” Remy grinned, “Muwahaha! You can’t defeat me!” He told the pair in the treehouse before running towards the porch with Virgil.
Once there he put Virgil down and the kid directed him to where the extra nerf guns were. The ones in the hidden storage bin were much smaller than the ones the twins had.
“Virgil! You’re not supposed to help the bad guy!”
“Ha ha! I put him under mind control!” Remy told them, “Now I have a minion.”
Virgil snickered before rushing to grab a gun of his own.
“You won’t get away with this, villain!”
“Let him go or face our wrath!”
“Never!” Remy called back, “Pick up as many bullets as you can, but don’t shoot too much, ok?” He whispered to Virgil, “When they run out we can go after them, cool?”
“Yeah!” Virgil whispered excitedly.
It took longer than Remy thought it would for the rain of foam to slow to a stop. “It’s over, heroes. Surrender peacefully and I might spare you.” He told them.
He could hear hushed laugher from the treehouse before one of the boys replied, “Okaay~ just a minuute~”
“Uh-oh.” Virgil said beside him.
“Uh-oh?”
He didn’t have to wait long to figure out what the kids were up to because a second later he was being pelted with various balls, ranging from ping pong to tennis. Before he even had a chance to recover, one of the twins was suddenly right next to him and whacking him with a foam sword.
“What the- hey!” He laughed before trying to fend off the nine-year-old. While he was distracted, the other one had made their way to the ground as well and ambushed him from behind. “Oh shhh-!” He cut himself off as he fell.
The second kid had hit the back of his knees with a foam club. This was definitely not a fair fight.
While the twins were busy beating him to death he suddenly felt the familiar sensation of foam bullets.
“Wha-? Virgil! I thought you were on my side?” He asked incredulously, causing Virgil to laugh, “Betrayed by my own brainwashed minion!”
The kid just giggled harder, “I was just pretending to be mind controlled!” He told him as he continued to fire the toy gun.
The kids screamed in delight as they assaulted him with their various weapons. Remy was ready to admit defeat and call them off when a voice interrupted.
“Alright, boys, that’s enough.” Dad guy said.
‘Oh shit.’
~
Patton’s heart broke a little as the joy on Remy’s face quickly melted away to something much more subdued. He sent him what he hoped was a reassuring smile but it didn’t seem to help any. “Lunch is ready.” He told them.
“Okay.” the younger kids chorused before dropping their weapons and racing inside.
“Are you alright?” Patton asked, “They might be foam but they can still hurt when the boys get excited.”
“I’m fine.” Remy said casually as he stood up and brushed himself off.
“Alright then.” He smiled, “Then let’s go eat some pizza bread.”
~
"Pizza bread" as it turned out, was bread with cheese and pepperoni inside. So, more sophisticated than the rolled up pizza slice Remy had pictured. Apparently you were supposed to dip it in some fancy tomato sauce which is why Remy was surprised when Mr. Janus had them all move to the living room to eat.
"Dad, can we watch Avatar?" Roman asked.
"No, let's watch dirty jobs!" Remus told him.
"How about mythbusters?" Roman countered.
"Ah, ah," Mr. Janus told them, "what's the rule for guests?"
"Virgil," They chorused, "wanna watch-" "Avatar?" "Dirty jobs?"
"Um… what about Most Extreme...?" Virgil tried.
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Two to one, we win!" Remus cheered.
"Boys." Mr. Janus told them, "We have more than one guest, remember?"
"Remy, say no!" Roman told him, "Then we pick a different show."
"I don't really have an opinion." Remy told him, "What's "Most Extreme"?"
"They take all the cool stuff from animals like eyes and teeth and show what it would look like if humans had the same ability." Remus told him, "It's neat!"
"Its freaky is what it is." Roman told him.
"That's what makes it cool!"
"I'm gonna pass on the vote." Remy told them.
"He's impartial so we win! The Most Extreme it is!" Remus turned to high five Virgil.
Roman seemed a bit miffed at losing the vote, but it wasn't long before he was staring at the screen with as much interest as the other two. And honestly? Remy got it. The show was actually pretty cool.
~
Patton smiled as Remy seemed to settle in again and get pulled into the show. He waited until the episode ended and everyone was done eating before moving to collect the empty plates. Unfortunately, the action quickly caught the attention of the teen.
"Don’t worry, I got it." Patton assured as Remy moved to start cleaning up as well.
"It's ok," Remy told him, as he paused somewhat hesitantly, "I don't mind."
Patton smiled, "I appreciate it, but you don't have to. Janus and I are gonna clean up and then we'll probably be heading home."
"Oh," Janus said suddenly, "while I'm thinking about it, we packed up some of our old clothes to donate. You guys can look through them for some play clothes." He told him.
"Sure." Patton told him.
"I'll be right back to help clean up." Janus said before leaving the room.
~
Remy wasn't sure why he was suddenly on edge. All he knew was something felt off and he didn't like it.
Mr. Janus came back a minute later with three large bags. "Ok," he said as he set them down, "look through and take anything." He told them before pointing to the twins, "No dress up this time." He told them.
"Why not?" Roman asked.
"Because yesterday we had to cut your brother out of a shirt you both knew was too small."
"I was a mutant giant what was I supposed to wear?" Remus asked indignantly.
Remy bit back a smile.
"Preferably something big enough to get yourself out of." Mr. Janus told him.
"Boring~" Remus drawled.
Mr. Janus shook his head fondly, "No dress up." He told them again before leaving to help dad guy.
The second he was gone the twins shared a look before quickly opening the bags and digging through them.
Remy laughed slightly, "Didn't he just say "no dress up"?"
"He said no dress up for us," Roman corrected, "but nothing about us dressing up you or Virgil."
"And so long as he doesn't catch us too quickly we can do it too!" Remus grinned.
Remy quickly turned down any attempts to get him to play dress up, and delegated himself to watching as the older boys coerced Virgil into trying on just about every piece of clothing. They had quickly moved on from the kids clothes that Virgil could feasibly fit in, or at least grow into soonish, to going through Mr. Janus’s old clothes just to wear them.
Virgil was digging through the bag when he suddenly gasped, "Remy!" He said excitedly before pulling something out of the bag and bouncing over, "Look!" He beamed as he held up an old leather jacket, "It's like from the store!"
"Uh, yeah, kinda." Remy admitted.
"I don't remember that one." Roman told them, "It doesn't look like Dad or Noni's."
"Dad!" Remus called.
"What happened?" Mr. Janus answered as he came around the corner before huffing a small laugh, "I see you ignored the dress up rule."
Remus ignored the last part, "Whose jacket is this?" He asked; pointing to the coat Virgil was holding.
Mr. Janus glanced at the jacket Virgil was holding, "That's my old one." He told them, "I haven't worn it since… probably since I was about twenty or so. That's when Noni gave me my other one."
"How long ago was that?" Virgil asked.
Mr. Janus laughed, "Long enough to know I don't need it, let's stick with that."
"That's Dad's way of saying he's old." Remus whispered causing Virgil to giggle.
"I heard that." Mr. Janus told them with an amused eyebrow raise, causing the kids to laugh. Mr. Janus shook his head, "Anyway, like I said you're welcome to anything in the bags." He said with a glance to Remy, "Try not to smother your cousin in the clothes." He told them offhandedly as he went back to the kitchen.
Something was definitely going on.
"Try it on!" Virgil told Remy as he practically shoved the jacket at him.
"I don't know, kid." Remy told him. This whole thing felt like way too much of a coincidence. He wasn't sure how to feel about it. This had to be a set up, right?
"Why not?" Virgil asked.
"I already have a coat, remember?"
"Yeah but this one doesn't cost money." Virgil told him. Dammit. "And at the store you said these were cool."
Stop making good points.
"Oh! It could be part of your villain outfit!" Roman exclaimed, "All super villains need to look cool."
"Otherwise they're just regular villains!" Remus added.
"What's the difference?"
"Presentation!" All three told him.
Ok, well he definitely ran into something there.
"Pleeeease, Remy?" Virgil asked with wide eyes.
... Fucking puppy dog eyes.
Remy sighed, "Ok, fine."
~
Patton peaked around the corner and smiled. For once he was glad Virgil had learned to weaponize his puppy eyes.
~
Remy made sure that when dad guy and Mr. Janus came back that he was not wearing the jacket. Just in case.
Thankfully neither mentioned it as they packed up the clothes Virgil. Or as they resorted the rest the kids had used for dress up. They all said their goodbyes, with Mr. Janus saying he hoped to see them again soon, and the twins telling Remy they wouldn't be going so easy on him next time.
If dad guy seemed extra smiley on the way home, it was none of Remy's business.
Remy was not smiling to himself either.
…Whatever.

For anyone who was wondering, Virgil 100% knows what he's doing when it comes to puppy dog eyes. He was raised by Patton Can't-say-no-to-cute Sanders. And yes. He does use this for evil.

If you don't yet have an analysis of when Cloud saves Tifa from the collapsing staircase, I'd like to hear it!
Sorry this one took awhile, Nonny, I was gonna do it yesterday, but I got super tired and then I was gonna do it earlier but I got pissed off and had to walk away from the internet before I threw my computer through a window.
So, the collapsing staircase aka the cloti hand grab. Bring it!
Ok, spoiler warning for ppl who haven’t played – do I still need to do this? Eh ok, (I tag FF7R spoilers as final fantasy 7 remake spoilers) and it’s gonna be long and awesome! Because I saw things and I have suspicions!
Also, this is one person’s interpretation of the scene, so if you disagree that’s cool and we’ll agree to disagree.
You’re also gonna have to excuse the janky quality on some of the screens, I’m grabbing them from Youtube and it’s frustrating af trying to get the exact moment I want.
Please check my master post to see if I've already covered your question, thanx
Let's mosey!
Recap time!
Let's backtrack a tiny bit first. Cloud's making his way up the pillar, had his bro moment with Biggs – damn you Square – and he's heading up to where Barret is on the top level.
Reno and Rude are in their chopper, throwing shade at Shinra while doing their jobs. I love how idgaf Reno is during this bit. Like, honey, you not even trying.
As Cloud comes into view on the staircase, Reno spots him and it's time for revenge! Nothing personal, bitch!
Ok, nothing very special here. SOLDIER!Cloud taking a look about for whatever resources he has to hand – none – and we've got Reno in the background waiting for him to get in range. (Yall also almost ended up with my gif of Nyx Ulric loool he pretty but Cloud’s prettier)
Reno's impatient. He fusses with the joy stick, drums his fingers, then puts his arms behind his head. The fact he's done this last move suggests he has no doubt he'll be gunning Cloud down sooner or later. We can see Rude keeping his eyes front – you can just catch the direction of his gaze behind the left lens of his sunglasses.
HOLY SHIT! Rude blinked! Like several times in quick succession! (gotta slow the frames down to 0.25 to catch it btw) Now, this could be nothing since Rude is very hard to read and has even smaller micro-expressions than Cloud does, but when someone blinks like that it usually means they recognise the person they're looking at. He's seen Tifa running up the stairs. I don't know why he might recognise her, aside from having a headcanon about it, but I'm telling you, I saw him do several rapid blinks when he caught sight of her, then draw Reno's attention to her. His eyes behind those sunglasses are ever so slightly wider than usual btw. It's really hard to see, but there seems to be a definite look of “I know you” about him.
Reno shooting at her might have been a mistake on Rude’s part. He could have forgotten himself in that moment of recognition and didn't mean to direct Reno to a new target. That would explain why he pulled away from the attack and made up an excuse about his hand slipping.
This makes me excited to find out if Rude knows her and what the deal is with that OG crush. My headcanon? He's a former student of Zangan too and helped get Tifa to Midgar when she was injured. She doesn't remember it since she was at death's door for most of the trip. I saw a bit saying Zangan had to use a lot of healing materia on her and she stayed in the hospital too, so it's reasonable she wouldn't recall Rude. But, we don't know for sure yet, which is why headcanon.
Still exciting though!
Cloud's heard footsteps on the stairwell, so turns to see who it is and you can just catch a glimpse of Tifa appearing through the metal slats. This is the first time Cloud spots her. The camera then pans up to the helicopter again where Reno prepares to shoot Tifa.
I don't wanna say for sure that Rude's jaw clenched here. The lighting is suspect because of the angle it strikes his face. He did something. I noticed something, but it's so utterly subtle I can't tell what. He either clenched his jaw for a brief second or his lips firmed, again for a brief second. It's probably easier to catch if you slow the frames down then don't look at Rude and rely on your peripheral vision to see it. That's how I end up replaying things a million times because I saw something and then have to spend half an hour trying to find it again lol
Reno definitely smirked, I caught that no problem.
So yeah, moving on from Rude's super micro-expressions, before Reno's even finished speaking he's pulling the helicopter away from Tifa. Like, Reno's still saying “bullets” when it happens. That's a very snap decision, especially with how fast Reno talks usually. And the entire time Reno's speaking Rude is looking at Tifa. I mean, he's expressionless – he could give Cloud lessons – but there's also emotion coming from him. I kinda feel a bit sad looking at him in this screen.
Guess we'll get more Rude backstory in part 2!
Reno bangs his head and I always laugh at that part. Get rekt!
Cloud's all da fuq? since it's so very obvious Reno was lined up to shoot and then suddenly not. But there's no time to think about why because Tifa's still running up the stairs.
Omg I'm so good I even impress myself sometimes! Check either side of the screen. Tifa at one edge and Cloud at the other, already in motion to save her as the first bullets from Reno's miss start destroying the staircase. You could not get closer to the start of this catch!
Tifa's foot is on the second step here. That's not even a second after the last screen. Her sub isn't even fully solid that's how soon she yelled for Cloud. Going by common sense, the staircase is collapsing to her right and she needs to get up another 12 steps? In a couple of seconds? Yeah, she knew that wasn't happening. She needed him. I question how she knew he was there. She couldn't see him from where she was. Maybe she guessed the chopper was shooting at him, but it could've been anyone from Avalanche. She's not looking up the stairs, her eyes are at her feet.
I think she yelled for Cloud because that's who she wanted. Like Aerith said to follow her heart, Tifa's heart cried out for Cloud when she was in danger.
Well, if that isn't a look of surprise right there. She really didn't expect him to be right there at that moment. She was screaming for him, hoping he'd save her and there he was. Her face goes from this tense “I'm about to die” look, to this wide eyed shock that there he is, right in front of her, reaching for her. Right when she needed him most. If he wasn't there she'd have been shot and the last thing she said would've been his name. That's how important it is that she screamed for him there. It wasn't that she knew he was waiting for her. She didn't know he was there at all. She just wanted him to be the one to save her so desperately and he came through.
So I bet a lot of people have looked at this so romantically that he's reaching for her. Hell yeah in a way, but what makes it even better is when you remember you're looking at Cloud through Tifa's eyes. This is how she sees Cloud looking at her in this moment, all heroic and brave and just right there for her. That confident stance, totally out from behind any kind of cover, just waiting and reaching for her. It's funny she never calls him a hero in the game, except as a motivator at the end when he's dangling off a building, because he absolutely is pulling off the hero moment here. She called his name and he appeared to save her. It's exactly how she said during their promise.
He is taking her hand. That's his fingers wrapping around hers, while hers lay open against his palm. She is the passive party in this hold, while Cloud is the active one. She could've mutually grabbed him, but she didn't. This is him saving her. This is not an equal grab. This is Cloud grabbing Tifa. Only after his fingers close over her hand do hers do the same back.
Cloud backs up, dragging Tifa up the last of the stairs to safety, while keeping himself safe as well. There, he spins her around and puts his free hand on her back, while keeping hold of her other hand in his. He doesn't let her go at all during that move. In fact, you can also see that Tifa now has both hands on Cloud. The one he took is still holding his and she's put her other hand on his arm. She was likely very scared during that moment he saved her and she's holding onto him as an anchor to feel safe. Cloud saved her and she feels safe with him.
Cloud's expression is wary and alert, since he's focused on the danger, while Tifa's is scared. Just because she can fight, doesn't make her a fighter.
Cloud lets got of Tifa's hand so he can lean out from behind their safe spot and check on the danger, but he's left his other hand on her back. During this moment, Tifa actually leans back which would increase that contact.
Her face is quite blurred since we're focusing on Cloud in the foreground, but her expression seems to hint at a “thank god I have you” look.
Oh look, the camera refocused. Definitely a “thank god I have you” look, not to mention the tears in her eyes. She was terrified.
Also, that hand is still on her back.
But, she can't be weak in front of Cloud. She wants to prove she's his equal, that she doesn't need a hero. She just wants him. I mean, before he turns to look at her, she's staring at him like he set the stars in the sky for her.
As he takes his hand off her back and pulls out his “what the hell?” line, which is clearly him mad at her for being so reckless and almost dying on him, she gives him a brave smile and puts on her own persona as someone who can totally handle all this chaos. Scared? Tifa? Noooo.
She says “nice catch” all casual like she wasn't petrified and screaming his name less than thirty seconds ago and he is not impressed by this one bit. He's unconvinced Tifa's as blasé about this as she's acting, which is why he continues to challenge her. Which isn’t the first time he’s done it. He doesn’t let her bullshit him.
Basically, she's trying to be brave and support him, but he doesn't want her to put herself in danger because he wants to protect her. They're both trying to prove they're worthy of each other and doing stupid shit in the process.
This is actually a very good moment for them because we know Cloud pretty much does whatever Tifa wants because he wants to make her happy, but this shows he's not above arguing with her or challenging her when she's being reckless and endangering herself. He's not got her on a pedestal. She's not some unobtainable dream woman. She's real to him and he feels comfortable getting mad and showing negative emotions to her. That's why he can call her crazy without worrying it'll sour her opinion of him.
Remember, Tifa is non-confrontational by nature. She doesn't like fighting and will usually agree or let things go for the sake of an easy life. But, she disagrees with Cloud or tells him off several times throughout the game. This shows she's comfortable having confrontations with him. She's not worried about upsetting him and being rejected during a typical interaction. She worries about scaring him away when she’s unsure he’ll stay, but once he’s said he’ll stick around she relaxes and doesn’t seem as worried about him leaving her. It was only when she tried to move their relationship from friendship to more during alone at last that she worried about rejection.
Tifa accepts Cloud's feelings, even the negative ones and deals with them in a mature way. She doesn't dismiss him or ignore how he feels. She just relates her feelings to his and points out that he's still going up the pillar, so she will too. She wants to stay by his side. Her heart led her to him. If he's going, then so is she. Her expression is earnest here. There's nothing more than what she says. She's not leaving. Nothing can change her mind.
OK WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, RUDE?! DO YOU KNOW TIFA?!
He swallowed! His mouth tensed and he swallowed! Lips pulled down. Behind those sunglasses I caught movement. There's definitely something going on with Rude here and it's something that Reno doesn't know about since he doesn't recognise Tifa and he has no idea why Rude did that.
Ok, one last quick shot of yet more unnecessary touching between Cloud and Tifa. Why is he doing that? Literally to keep her within arm's reach. She said she's not leaving, so he's gonna keep her safe no matter what. To do that, he needs to know exactly how far away from him she is. Also, he wants to touch her lol
Conclusion
Well, there was lots of good stuff hidden in there and I'm even more convinced that Rude knows Tifa after I caught some of his micro-expressions. I'm excited to see if it's true in part 2, but more so the fact that we're gonna get the Turks characters' fleshed out compared to OG. We've already learned that Reno while not giving a fuck, also actually really gives a fuck. I love him. He's such a snarky butt.
But, this was about Cloud and Tifa, not Rude.
Yeah, she literally couldn't see him at any point when she was running up that staircase. She screamed his name because that's who she wanted in that moment to appear and save her. The surprise on her face is genuine. She didn't know he was there. Cloud's in full “I must save Tifa” mode, so it's real!Cloud motivating SOLDIER!Cloud to do what he doesn't think he's capable of. They then have a lover's spat about Tifa being reckless and show the healthy disagreement side to their relationship by not screaming and shouting at each other or being sarcastic – like Cloud is with someone else. While Cloud might not like Tifa going with, he understands her need to. She's also put it in terms that he can understand, but part of him is very unhappy about it, which is why in that last shot we see him with his hand on her arm ready to protect her at a moment's notice. He's not letting her out of sight or arm's reach.
It's some damn good solid relationship building from them during a tense moment.
