FAINTING & FEVER - When you confess your deep buried feelings to your boss in your fever.

Summary: Hiding a fever? Check. Passing out? Check. Confessing your feelings to your boss? Wait woah?

Fandom: Criminal Minds

Pairing: Aaron Hotchner x reader, BAU x platonic!reader

Genre: Fluff

Warnings: fever, fainting, rest is good I guess.

Word Count: 3.8k

A/N: This was supposed to be platonic but I didn't feel like it is romantic :) This is my first time writing any non-platonic work. All the pics I have inserted are more clear when clicked if you want to see (Tumblr did something). Positive Criticism is welcomed.

"So, what are you ladies up to tonight?" Morgan asked while driving, his focus on the road. You'd just finished a case, and as usual, Morgan was eager to make plans before another case thrust you back into the world's horrors.

"Well," JJ began with a sigh, eyebrows raised, "I'm going to spend the whole day resting with my boys." She finished with her radiant smile.

"What about you, Prentiss?" Morgan glanced at Emily in the passenger seat.

"No plans yet, but who knows? I might have something by the time we land."

"L/N?" Derek called out when he realized you hadn't answered, lost in your own world.

You sat beside Spencer, staring out the window, oblivious to your surroundings. The heat you felt was consuming every coherent thought.

"L/N?"

"Huh? What did you say?" you asked, turning your head so quickly that JJ and Spencer wondered how you didn't get whiplash. Your voice remained calm and soft.

"You okay?" Spencer asked, his hazel eyes filled with concern.

"Why wouldn't I be, Spencer?" you replied, mustering a small smile to maintain your façade.

"You just seem...down," he commented, studying you intently. You gave him another small smile, shook your head, and winced. Your head felt as if it had been struck by an invisible hammer. Spencer either didn't notice your wince or chose not to comment.

"You up for some fun tonight?" Morgan asked again, though you were barely aware.

"What fun?" you frowned. The way he said "fun" made you think it might not be the kind you'd enjoy.

"Seriously, sweet girl? You're spending way too much time with Reid. I'm talking about bars, drinks, and if you get lucky, then maybe—" Morgan started with a Cheshire grin, while your eyes widened.

"No," you said in a high-pitched tone, embarrassed at the thought of hooking up with a random guy when you already loved someone.

"What do you mean, 'no'? Come on. We don't get many days off, L/N. You should enjoy them when you can."

"Morgan, I can't," you said, shifting uncomfortably.

"And why is that, sweet girl?"

"Hey! Garcia will take offense if you call someone else 'sweet girl,'" you said with a smile, appreciating his use of a nickname for you.

"Nah. My baby girl will never be offended by this, and you're not just someone else," he replied confidently.

"But answer the question, sweet girl," he prompted, aware you were avoiding it. He assumed your hesitation was due to your reluctance to go out, knowing how you and Reid felt about drinking and socializing.

"I've got some work to do, Morgan. Also, I'm tired," you said, leaning your head back.

Morgan's expression changed instantly.

"Go straight home when we land, Y/N, not to Hotch's office. Whatever files you have to work on can wait. If I didn't know him better, I'd say he's making you do overtime."

"Exactly. Hotch will understand, and there's no need to tire yourself out," Spencer added softly.

Their concern warmed your heart. "Of course, gentlemen," you replied, amusing the others.

The conversation drifted back to their plans while you gazed out the window, watching amoeba-shaped clouds float slowly across the sky. The view was therapeutic, but you didn't tell them how awful you were feeling.

When you woke up that morning, it felt as if hell had descended upon Earth just for you. Your muscles ached, protesting and begging you to return to bed, but you couldn't. Lives were at stake, a case needed solving. Now, the muscle pain had given way to a headache and constant zoning out.

You longed to get home as soon as possible, yearning for your fluffy blankets to engulf you completely, save for your head. You hoped your phone might end up in a ditch for the day, allowing you to remain in your cozy cocoon until you felt well enough to face the world—and potential case calls—again.

Soon, you arrived at the airstrip, where Emily and JJ surrounded you.

"So, where's your mind wandering today?" Emily asked with a mischievous grin. Before you could answer, JJ chimed in.

"In dreams of Hotch, of course. Right, Y/N?" You quickly shushed her, glancing around to ensure no one had overheard.

"JJ, Emily, we're at the airstrip," you whispered urgently. "Someone might hear you. It's supposed to be a secret. Sometimes I think you and Garcia are determined to let Hotch find out." You began trudging toward the plane, feeling drained.

They both laughed and high-fived.

"We do want you two together," Emily said.

"You should tell him yourself," JJ added. "Besides, if he overhears by accident, it'll only speed up your love life."

"By the way, Y/N, will you only go out with us if Hotch is there too?" Emily teased.

"Guys!" you groaned as they laughed.

Your crush on Hotch had started early in your tenure, initially based on his looks. But it deepened into something more profound, to the point where his well-being affected you deeply. You felt terrified when he faced dangerous situations. That's when you knew you were in trouble.

There was no way he'd fall for someone who could barely speak to him. You had your reasons for avoiding him. The days leading up to this decision were hellish. Never had you stumbled over your words as much as you did then. And what did he do?

He always gave you a patient look and nodded softly, encouraging you to speak your mind. It was manageable until you started losing yourself in his eyes or staring at his face constantly. After that, you ensured you were never alone with him except when working on case files. You began doing this so he could go home early and rest, reasoning that a few extra files wouldn't impact your time.

You were startled from your reverie by the memory of Garcia suggesting that Hotch might like you too. You still don't believe her, but a girl could hope.

"If it gets too much, I want you to pull out."

"Sir?" you asked, confused, looking up from your gun at your boss, who was surveying the team preparing to ambush the unsub's house.

"Everyone has off cases, L/N, but with time, most of us have learned to deal with it. Still, we pull ourselves out when needed. You're still new. So, pull out if necessary. Do you understand me?" he said, now looking at you, his gaze sweeping over your shorter form. You looked up at him intently, lost in his eyes until he raised an eyebrow. You could have sworn you saw his eyes soften slightly.

"Yes, sir."

"Call me Hotch, Y/N." With that, he walked towards the rest of the team as you hurried to catch up.

Back at the FBI building, you dashed to Garcia's lair. She was your first friend, and you both had a tendency to ramble about various topics. Sometimes Reid joined in. As soon as you saw her, you hugged her. Hugging Garcia was like therapy—you could feel your worries, guilt, and other negative emotions leaving your body. You felt yourself relax, your body lighter. You called it "Garcia magic”! It was an added bonus that Garcia was fond of physical affection.

When you told her about Hotch's words and your feeling that he was worried and all other incidents where he acted the same—though you thought that was impossible—she flashed her beaming smile, all her white teeth showing. Her eyes, however, held the amusement of knowing something you didn't.

"I didn't know sweet cheeks, he cares for you this much." Garcia mused, clearly pleased by what you'd shared.

This much? And what do you mean?" you asked, your curiosity evident.

"Hmm hmm. He looks at you the same way Will looks at JJ. He's so soft with you and he isn't like this with anybody. Maybe except Jack of course."

“Garcia there’s no way in hell he likes me. Maybe he was trying to be sweet.” you asked her trying not to get your hopes up.

This is a paradox. You are sure. Damn sure! Garcia began laughing while you gave her an incredulous look. She didn’t stop until you threw a teddy at her. “My sweet sweet girl, Hotch is never sweet with anyone. Ask Emily about it if you are unsure but nope nada in my so many years of being at BAU, he’s never sweet with anyone.”

"Maybe you are overthinking this Garcia. Hotch and I don't even know each other.”, you mumbled looking at your hands in your lap.

“That is an argument I will have with you on another day but what I'm saying is that Hotch likes you.", she says with a small almost sad smile.

"If you want you can observe him. You're a profiler baby. Yow will know.", she added gleefully.

Henceforth, you observed Hotch as profiling team members was off-limit. He had a tendency to smile at you softly and he didn’t offer others the same amount of options that he did to you , but you attributed this to being new. You were certain he'd show his more authoritative side once you were no longer considered the newest member. Definitely!

Lost in these thoughts, you suddenly felt your vision blur and your surroundings distort.

"Whoa! You okay?" Emily asked as she grabbed your forearm, while JJ held the other. They exchanged concerned looks when you didn't answer immediately. You shook your head slightly and replied,

"Yeah, yeah. Just slipped."

They didn't seem convinced but didn't press further.

"Be careful," JJ said, patting your shoulder.

"Yeah, of course," you mumbled, trying to regain your composure.

Hotch and Rossi chatted as they walked, their conversation drifting from Jack's football to other topics. Before they knew it, they'd arrived at the airstrip. As Hotch boarded the plane, he froze in surprise. You were seated next to his usual spot—an unexpected sight, given your habit of avoiding him outside of group settings or work situations. Your presence there felt nothing short of miraculous.

Not wanting to give Rossi a chance to tease him, Hotch quickly sat beside you. He was certain you hadn't noticed his arrival, as you were deeply engrossed in the case report—something you rarely worked on during flights.

His attention shifted back to Rossi when the older agent began discussing plans for a pasta dinner. From the corner of his eye, Hotch caught you glancing up, offering both him and Rossi a small smile before burying yourself in the file again. It was odd, considering the report wasn't due for days.

He didn't want to finish it quickly, knowing an empty home awaited him. No one would be there to greet him—just silent walls. Jack was on vacation with Jessica's family for the next few days, leaving Hotch alone in the city. He stole another quick glance at you, resisting the urge to look more often.

Hotch was sure he would never fall in love again after Hayley. He loved her from such a young age and so much that loving someone else felt betraying the love he had bestowed upon Hayley all those years. Even after getting a divorce, he didn't stop loving her completely. Sometimes, he liked to believe they separated not because they fell out of love, but because their love was so intense that their arguments became too painful. However, he knew this wasn't the reality. He sighed and pulled out his file.

His thoughts soon drifted to you. Lately, contemplating love inevitably led him to think of you. Sometimes you don't know what hit you until it does. Falling in love with you was the same. He was falling in and never realised until the day he got a letter. From you.

Hotch had slowly fallen in love with you. That was the truth of his life, he stayed away from for a long time. How could he stay away when your every action seemed to win his heart anew? Each time he learned something new about you, he fell a little deeper.

You were a sweet addition to the team. It didn't mean you were all the time sunshine. Everyone learnt that the hard way. He mentally chuckled at the fight you and Morgan had over dark chocolate to the extent you were ready to beat him black and blue. However, your sweet gestures towards everyone on the team always warmed his heart.

He reminded himself to remain professional. After all, he was on a plane with a group of profilers who could decipher his feelings in minutes if given the chance.

"L/N, can you tell me about the—"

"L/N?" Hotch called out again, surprised you didn't hear him the first time. Still, you didn't reply. Rossi also looked up.

"Y/N? Y/N!" He said, touching your shoulder.

"Yeah, yeah. What happened?" You looked like a deer caught in headlights, making both Hotch and Rossi confused.

"Nothing happened. I was just asking you about the case," he replied, looking at you. You were looking...different. It was as if every laugh and joy had been drained from your life.

"I'll be right back," you said, standing up and moving before Hotch had a chance to stop you.

The moment you stood up, you knew you shouldn't have done that. You were far better sitting down. Now the pounding in your head intensified, along with the feeling of being shaken up to the point where you could see everything oscillating. You tried to keep yourself still, hoping your surroundings would become normal.

The next thing you knew, everything went black.

Hotch saw you swaying and moved instinctively. He caught you, one hand on your waist, the other on your shoulder, trying to keep you up while you were dead weight. However, it wasn't as easy as it seemed in the movies.

"Y/N? Y/N. Hey, wake up!"

"Y/N!" He squeezed your body against him.

However, his yelling got him nowhere. You didn't respond, lying still in his arms as if you were taking a nap. Hotch would have believed it if he hadn't seen you go down in front of his eyes.

"Y/N," he called out again, softly this time, yet the response was the same. He swept your hair back from your face.

Unable to keep you up, he gently lowered both of you onto the aisle. He moved his hands to your shoulders, gently shaking you, but you showed no sign of waking up.

He didn't notice anyone else until he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up and saw Rossi sitting beside him, looking alarmed by the happenings. Morgan was above your head. The rest of the team was also hovering.

"What happened, man?" Morgan asked while taking the sweater Reid offered and putting it under your head.

Hotch didn't answer. He himself didn't know what was wrong with you. One minute, you were standing and the next plummeting down like the apple which led to the discovery of gravity. His hand went to your cheeks, where he felt the heat radiating. His frown appeared and deepened as he touched your forehead.

"She's burning up!" Hotch said worriedly, still keeping his tone full of calmness while his heart was trying to beat out of his chest. Having a fever is one thing but passing out from it is entirely another. He couldn't help but feel the small burning sensation in his chest at the thought of being ill, even if it was a fever.

You could hear people talking, but why would there be people at your home? You scrunched your face and blinked your eyes multiple times before fully opening them. Everything was blurry at first, but soon it became clear, along with the horrible pounding in your head. You tried to sit up, but a firm pair of arms pushed you back.

"Hey Bella, don't try to get up. Stay still."

"Wha-what happened?"

"You fainted," Hotch said. The rest of them had dispersed, knowing Hotch would take great care of you and that a crowd wouldn't help much.

"I don't feel good," you groaned, your hand massaging your head.

"Yeah, I gathered that much. Tell me what's exactly wrong, L/N?" Hotch had your hand in his, rubbing it softly to ease the pain in any way he could.

"I don't feel good," you mumbled again with half-closed eyes. You were mostly disoriented from what Hotch could figure out.

"You have a fever."

"I do?"

It was taking you time to gather what was happening. He blamed the fainting and fever. It took you time, but you slowly opened your eyes fully when you noticed Hotch still sitting at the edge of the sofa. He still held your hand, and your legs were on his lap. Being in touch with him felt like second nature; you didn't even notice until you opened your eyes. You quickly tried to pull back your legs and hand, but Hotch stopped you with his hold.

"Don't move so much, Y/N. Relax," his voice soft and calming, as always.

You sat in silence for the rest of the journey, which wasn't very long. You were clutching onto his forearm as he helped you sit up to go home. When you came outside the plane,

"Hotch, I can go home by myself," you began, your voice small, hoping to regain some of the dignity you lost after fainting in front of your entire team.

"Y/N, you can't stand straight, and you want to drive home by yourself?" Hotch asked with a raised eyebrow.

"There are other ways to be suicidal than this, sweet girl," Morgan quipped, walking beside you, not that you noticed. You looked up at him and then at Hotch, concern shining in both of their eyes.

"I'm not joking," you huffed.

"Neither are we," Morgan said.

"Y/N, it's final. I'm taking you home," Hotch ordered. That's what it felt like to you.

Hotch had an arm around your waist, supporting you as your body threatened to collapse. He hurried towards your apartment, aware of your rising fever. He couldn't give you medicine without food, but he was grateful for your unfiltered speech—it revealed the extent of your discomfort.

"You know, Hotch?" you began as he fumbled with the door. You leaned against the wall for support.

"Dahlias are my favourite flowers. They symbolize change, dignity, and elegance."

"They're native to Mexico, right?" he replied as you entered the apartment.

"Yeah! You know about them?" you asked, turning your face abruptly.

"Easy, honey. No sudden moves," he cautioned. "And yes, I've picked up a few facts over the years."

"I've always loved them. So colourful, bright, and beautiful," you laughed softly.

Hotch had never heard you speak so freely. He found himself enchanted by your voice, certain you could rival Reid in flower trivia.

After settling you on the sofa, Hotch fetched water, fruit, and medicine. You tossed your shoes aside and reluctantly took the pills, groaning as you slumped back.

"You should change into something more comfortable," Hotch suggested, removing his own shoes.

You looked at him, startled. Realizing his phrasing, he quickly clarified, "I mean, you should put on some comfy clothes."

At his insistence, you changed. When you returned, Hotch had shed his coat and tie, his shirt partially unbuttoned.

"Aren't you going home?" you asked, confused.

"I'll stay tonight, in case you need anything."

"There's no need, Hotch. You must be exhausted from the case. Go home and rest. I'll be fine."

"Y/N, it's better if someone's with you tonight. You fainted on the plane. I wouldn't be able to relax not knowing how you're doing," he admitted, his voice soft.

You smiled at his thoughtfulness and curled up on the sofa with a blanket and pillow. You both decided to watch Star Wars.

Partway through the movie, you turned to Hotch, staring intently.

"You know, Hotch?"

"Yes?"

"I love you. Like, really, really love you," you said with a lopsided smile.

Hotch froze, completely still. He hadn't been this motionless since he first held Jack, afraid of hurting his newborn son. He never imagined you reciprocated his feelings, but he knew if he didn't get the conversation going right now, he not going to know about your feelings when you are not loopy due to medicine.

��Yea?”

"Mm-hmm. You're so wonderful and adorable and just... so cute. Yeah, you're intimidating at work, but the rest of the time? Totally cute."

"Oh, am I?"

Though your tongue was loosened by the medicine, you were more lucid than you let on. Having suppressed these feelings for so long, you couldn't stop now that you'd started. You wanted to tell him everything—him about all those feelings that you shouldn't have about him but you do, how couldn't help but fall for him slowly and every day seeing him made your day.

He was so handsome! His pretty dark brown chocolate-coloured eyes are swoon-worthy. Whenever you look into them, you feel hypnotized, unable to look away from them but not being present in the time; you often find yourself lost in them, forgetting his words as you gaze at him. Right now, he was looking directly at you, and you were drowning in his gaze.

How does he not realize the effect he has when he looks at someone like this?

Hotch's smile grew with each word you spoke.

"You're so handsome, ridiculously handsome. Have you seen yourself under that table lamp? You look like some movie hero poring over case files."

He blushed and glanced away at your flood of compliments. You cupped his face, turning it back to you, your eyes wide and intent. His smile made your frown melt into the biggest grin he'd ever seen on you. You looked beautiful.

"I just really like you, but I know you don't like me," you said, your voice small.

He frowned at your words.

"I love you too, honey, but I'll give you the full answer when you're well enough to remember it. Word for word," he replied softly.

You squealed with delight.

"You aren't just saying this to spare my feelings, right?" you mumbled a few moments later.

He cradled your face in his hands. "I would never say such a thing just to spare someone's feelings, Y/N. I love you. More than you can imagine."

Your questioning continued throughout the movie, but you refused to turn it off.

"You must have had many admirers in college. How many girlfriends did you have?" you asked, your head resting on his shoulder while his hand on your waist pulled you closer. Both of you kept your eyes on the TV.

"I only had one."

"No, you're lying. You're far too handsome to have had only one girlfriend your entire life."

'You can become the second.'

"What did you say?"

"I didn't say anything, sweetheart."

"Did you just call me sweetheart?"

"You're imagining things, L/N. It's a common symptom of high fever. Of course, I didn't call you sweetheart, honey."

"Oh, but I—you just called me—"

"What?"

"Never mind. I must be imagining it."

"Yes, you're definitely imagining things."

Oliver Intro Post

TW: There are some references to touchy real-life events. There is also verbal abuse and child neglect. Proceed with caution.

Oliver Ranch is the second South Park OC I have made. I made him originally to ship with my OC, Ted, since I shipped Ted with Kyle before and I realized that may be kiiiiinda cringe. 😭

Now he’s one of my favorites out my SP OCs.

(All forms of him below are ‘episode’ scenarios I have created for him.)

Oliver’s Main Story

He is the firstborn of his three siblings; he has a baby brother, Bryce, and a younger sister, Blair. He cares for the both of them to substitute for his parent’s horrible behavior.

His mother is a overall angry person, probably where Oliver got his own anger issues. She verbally abuses everyone in the family, and gets close to hitting them on the occasion. Oliver’s father is a drunk and spends all his time drinking, watching football on the TV, and falling asleep on the pull-out couch.

Oliver’s Relationships

Oliver is in a relationship with Ted, and even though before he wanted to punt Ted into the street in the beginning, he now is overly protective of Ted and would resort to dangerous measures to protect him. Oliver also allows Ted to call him “Olive.” If anyone else tries to call him this, he will most likely pop them in the mouth.

Oliver absolutely hates Augustus. He has thought about wringing the clown’s neck multiple times; even making up fake scenarios where he could just gut the guy. In secret, Oliver is envious of Augustus’ progress, running a circus all by himself without anyone overlooking him.

Oliver doesn’t really approach Casey and Ernesto. He prefers to keep his circle tight, where the circle only consists of Ted (Ted takes up his whole social battery anyway).

Oliver’s Sub-Plots/‘Episodes’

“Self-Defense”

The government has passed a law, allowing kids in America under the age of 10 to own and carry guns in order to protect themselves. Most kids don’t know what to do with a gun, or don’t know how to work it and end up massacring each other. Oliver, already owning a pistol beforehand (illegally, might I add) and now with the freedom to own as many guns as he wants, he goes absolutely ballistic and joins in the chaos on purpose.

“Come Get My Ass”

Oliver is deathly afraid of the visitors. Everyone in South Park seems to pass it up as just a thing that happens, but Oliver doesn’t want something he doesn’t want up his ass. He has nightmares where he would look in the mirror and see himself as a visitor. He decides that he will try and stop the visitors himself if the people of South Park won’t.

“AI Generated Slavery”

…. If you couldn’t tell, this is a play off of the disasters of the recent Willy Wonka incident. 💀

But this time, the organizer of the event hired children for low pay because his budget dropped from the shipping of the hologram interactive activity that was meant to arrive for the event, but never came. So now the organizer would be charged for MORE heinous crimes :DD

“Phantom of the Soap Opera”

“The Phantom of the Opera,” but make it a soap opera with goofy-ass side characters like the neighbor, Dave Hillis, and Christine’s boss, Junior.

In this case, the Phantom is Oliver, who is a shut-in who practices the piano, and Christine is Ted, who works a casual job at the hardware store.

It’s really just silly goofy stuff.

“Pride Misconseption”

Oliver completely misunderstood what a Pride parade actually is for. He thought it was just a place to be proud of ANYTHING. Therefore, he went to the Pride parade decked out in Scottish flags. People present were pissed and confused at Oliver, accusing him of not taking it seriously and kicking him out of the parade after shaming him. The whole time, Oliver was just confused, never really knowing what the parade was truly for.

“The Mishaps of the Furry and the School Shooter”

Pretty much an ‘episode’ featuring Blackbear and Dire Dune teaming up in order to beat Cartman’s ass, forming a duo that strayed from both Freedom Pals and the C**n and Friends.

Dire Dune is Oliver’s superhero persona; he is an elemental class that controls sand and strives to control the rocks that the grains came from.

Contrary to his actual personality, Dire Dune is a more calm and collected character who shares wisdom instead of spitting harsh truths.

I have made other ‘episode’ ideas, but they’re not as fully developed as the ones I have shared, so I decided not to share them. That’s all for Oliver’s backstory!! Thank you for reading this far!! :DD

Okay, we’ll admit we were among those hoping for an appearance from Special Agent Kensi Blye tonight, considering the episode was directed by Daniela Ruah, who played the badass agent on NCIS: LA from 2009 to 2023.

But we’re happy to have Ruah (who previously directed episodes of NCIS: LA) bring her knowing eye to helming NCIS. “It was the first time I was directing on ‘the mothership’ as we lovingly call it,” Ruah tells us in Case Closed, our NCIS aftershow. “It almost didn’t matter what came my way in terms of storyline, I just wanted to be part of it and work with the crew and cast of NCIS. I was received with open arms – like a wonderful, warm hug.”

Her passion for directing showed in this classic case-of-the-week storyline where the team chased down a petty officer’s murderer, who turned out to be someone a little too close to home. It also included a comedic through line about Torres (Wilmer Valderrama) trying to hide the fact that he sometimes cheated on his strict fitness regimen from his new temporary roommate, boss Alden Parker (Gary Cole). “Wilmer’s a funny guy,” Ruah says. “He brings a comedic timing. My job is just to capture it. Maybe I throw in a possible improv.”

Sonja Flemming/CBS

Considering we last saw Kensi in the NCIS: LA series finale, discovering that her dream had come true, and she was finally pregnant with hubs/fellow agent Deeks (Eric Christian Olsen), we had to know if Ruah wonders as much as we do what her alter ego is doing now. As Ruah was sharing with us that she calculated Kensi’s due date and would always love the character she’d played for so long, she realized she was wearing an outfit she’d taken home from set that had been part of Kensi’s onscreen wardrobe – sweater, jeans, and signature boots. She cracks about how the writers might have worked Kensi’s motherhood into a script: “Do we now have an episode with Kensi fighting with a baby in her arms? I wouldn’t put it past her. Or is she out of the game for a couple months?”

Ruah also told us how she feels about the upcoming Paramount+ series (nicknamed) NCIS: Europe which reunites beloved NCIS couple Tony (Michael Weatherly) and Ziva (Cote de Pablo). “I think it’s the best thing ever,” Ruah says. “They had time to go off and do other things. These roles are so establishing for us who have been cast members on the show. For them to pick up these two characters that people fell so madly in love with — even I was shipping ‘Tiva’ — it’s a wonderful idea, and I’m so excited to watch it.”

As for a Kensi and Deeks spinoff? “I don’t know that I could see one in the near future,” Ruah says. “Eric’s really busy doing what he’s doing and loving that. I’m loving this. I would never say never, but in the near future, that’s probably not on the table. It’s important for us to go and find ourselves in other things. The show was important and special to us, but it’s like leaving the nest.”

You’ll get to see Ruah’s behind-the-camera talents again in an episode of NCIS: Hawai’i coming up in April. Ruah, who does not appear in the hour, reveals that the plot takes deep dives into the characters and, “I think it’s the darkest episode they’ve ever had. The crime that’s committed and what we find out over the course of the episode…it’s not a pleasant story.”

Check out the video for more from Ruah about working with Sean Murray and LL Cool J; what Agents Kensi, Knight (Katrina Law), and Ziva have in common; and more of her thoughts on what it takes to direct a top-notch hour of TV. Hey, we may even see her pulling double duty at some point. Ruah tells us, “I am not opposed at all to showing up as Kensi in one of the NCIS shows.”

I was reading through your thoughts on combat mechanics and also watching a video on how to make combat in 5e more interesting. It made me realize that the most fun I’ve ever had in a ttrpg was the FATE one shot I did in college with like a party of 30 people and absolute ridiculousness. Getting to nearly one shot the final boss because Weapons was my best skill and I had a +4 katana was the wildest time.

But it also made me realize that the most fun in a campaign I ever had overall was Blades in the Dark that my spouse was running. The system actively encourages you to avoid combat and find other solutions to problems. The most harrowing session was the one time we came dangerously close to actually getting into combat. I was actively afraid of getting into a fight, it was great!

Oh FATE combat is very fun. It does provide some structure via things like zones if you'd like but it's not designed to facilitate tactical gaming. It's designed to facilitate big dramatic bullshit gaming. And boy do things like stunts and fate points add to that. The fact that invoking requires you to make a case for why something is narratively fitting, especially.

And yeah I've really loved systems that facilitate or encourage combat avoidance. It's part of why I kind of hate the standard like "kill this many guys to get the xp needed to level up" approach to character progression. Part of why I'm wanting to dip on our 5e game is that the gm said that if we keep avoiding combat he might have to enact some form of xp penalty on us and like. Why though. Why can't we do things via other means and still progress?

So like Candela Obscura just kind of straight up not having a combat system and it being based around "what is most narratively appropriate?" and with its marks and scars system made me want to do literally fucking ANYTHING than upset a fucking union in a company town. Because we are just five weird little guys and they're an entire town with union men who have to deal with an evil corporation and the not!pinkertons. But like that almost fucking happened because someone in the party decided it was a smart fucking idea to punch my good friend Ronnie the union man in the face because Ronnie the union man told us we needed to fucking leave so he could stay safe. And then he thought it was a smart idea to pull a gun on Ronnie the union man.

I've yet to experience any FitD combat but having read through most of the Beam Saber rulebook I am excited to do so because oh baby are those fucking costs steep. And they aren't something you're going to be able to easily clear away 100% of the time every time. The costs and difficulty of recovery is also part of what I find interesting about Candela Obscura's deal too, honestly. Because you only have so many stitches and stitches don't fucking come back unless you successfully level up your circle.

THEORY 02: The Mystery of Roman Sinquerra

You can ask me anything 😊. Also keep in mind that this theory can be edited sometimes. ❤️

🔴Introduction

I've been watching this show called "High Potential" ( airs on ABC on Tuesdays and also you can catch it the next day on Hulu if you are interested) , and I've been hooked ever since the pilot episode. So, we are introduced to a woman named Morgan Gillory who is now helping the cops solve cases (due to having a high IQ), but on one condition, the boss (or Captain Selena) has to help her find her ex man, Roman Sinquerra, who has been missing for 15 years (which is the same age as their daughter). So what happened to Mr Sinquerra?

⚠️The Crime Scene⚠️

(Please watch episode 1 and 2 or even 3 if you're interested in getting the whole gist)

So the information we got so far is that...

🟡 He was last seen in 2009

🟡 He did get the diapers (hints that he was never going to abandon them)

🟡 He was at Costco (which was the last place he was)

🟡 The car with diapers in it was found in the police compound 3 days after his disappearance... Hmm 🧐🤔...

This is where I started getting suspicious. I think someone knew about what happened to him (and to me, it seems like Selena low-key knows too). But, in her defense, she probably didn't get the name of the guy and just forgot about it or her boss at the time told them to forget about the case (pretty on brand for police). Also, kinda ironic she started working with someone who's been suspicious of her ex man's disappearance since the beginning. But also, I feel like someone else knows something about Roman and is not saying anything. Why do I feel like the guy she's working with (and/or the recent guy she has two children knows. Now looking back it would be too obvious if they both already knew. Then I look at lieutenant Melon, and I start to be like... He DEFINITELY knows something.

🔵 What Did Roman Sinquerra Look Like?

So I had to compare and contrast Morgan and their daughter, Ava and came up with a concept of what (hypothetically) he looked like...

🔵 Race: Latino/Latinx

🔵: Eyes: Ava has hazel eyes and Morgan has blue. So the guy might've had hazel eyes himself or had brown eyes

🔵 Skin color: Ava has a dark tone than her mom and half-siblings. So the guy probably had olive skin or brown skin (or the same shade as Ava)

🔵 Hair color: N/a ( Might have had black or dark brown hair

That's all I've got, but I'm just going by what the daughter looks like and what she might have inherited from him.

🔴My Theroy On What Happened🔴

🟢 First, He is running errands and Morgan reminds him to get diapers for the baby or Ava at the time.

🔵 Then, Almost forgets diapers, but then goes to Costco due to him being closer to the house and already saw the destination.

🟣 Next, pays for the diapers and walks to the car. He then puts the diapers in the back seat. Finally, as soon as he was about to open the door to the driver side, someone attacked him from behind. Roman probably could protect himself. So Sinquerra probably fought back, but unfortunately missed or went for the guy's face at the wrong time and the kidnapper (allegedly that), knocked him out unconscious and took him away.

🟠 Morgan then finds out he's missing and goes to the police station and reports, but (in typical law fashion) they don't do anything about it, hence why she doesn't trust cops.

🔴 Selena who was probably just becoming captain soon. Tried to share the case with her boss about a missing man (Sinquerra), who she probably didn't know who the guy was back then. And the boss probably said "Forget the case". She then tried to further explain, but the boss might've done the whole "If you want to be captain, then certain things you forget" speech. Then, she forgets it.

Now there are other possibilities that could've taken place...

⚫ My #1 thought is he was kidnapped (until otherwise).

⚫ Don't want to sound offensive and cliche, but he probably got deported (allegedly)

⚫ Lives a double life (probably kept that from Morgan and their daughter, Ava so they can be safe or save his butt)

⚫ Probably had ties to people, then later cut ties with them to be a family man, but they find his location and capture him (like I said don't wanna sound cliche).

🟥 Thank you for reading my theroy. Can't wait to type more. You can ask me anything 🟥

😊❤️

Someone did a twitter poll for who’s the biggest villain in anime and Oikawa placed number 1 above villains like Sukuna who placed 4th 💀 man’s was just tryna win his volleyball game

Hi, anon ☺️👋

I saw that! 🤣 I don't know if people voted for him/included him in it as a joke (and I know he's got real haters like Terushima my baby boo) but it's just so weird how he's being touted as a villain in the leagues of homicidal, pure evil characters like Hisoka and Sukuna...or that guy that says "Bang" with his hand and...(don't watch it) Like... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Okay, so Oikawa is petty, a brat and a typical private-school kid snob. He's a bully, too, quite honestly. Case in point:

Maybe the difference was that he also was an antagonistic dipshit (meant fondly) even outside of court, particularly to Kageyama.

But I don't get why Oikawa gets the "villain" title when (1) he wasn't the so-called boss battle and (2) there are other characters who behaved the same way he did without the difference of the matter being outside of volleyball.

I mean, did he ever say or do anything bad that was outside of the topic of volleyball? Like personal attacks to other characters?

Sure, he hates volleyball geniuses like Kageyama and Ushijima but he acknowledges that fact and he was never one to underestimate their talents. But then again, that's within the parameters of the sport as opposed to it being personal beef.

And to be honest, blondie from Inarizaki is more antagonistic if we'll base it off of the bitch meter.

Hello, have you met, Atsumu?

Even his twin thinks he's a jackass. Jk ily bubu and you'll always be special to me but like this one's got attitude problems, is super loud but arrogant enough to make the whole court shut up during his serves and called his fangirls squealing pigs. At least Oikawa is nice to his fans.

100% will definitely make Oikawa cry if they try to out-bitch each other.

And speaking of making Oikawa cry...

Ushijima frikkin Wakatoshi! He could do no wrong. WRONG!

Like Oikawa, he's such a typical private school kid snob. You just know they're from those expensive boarding schools cause they have that attitude, like they look at you from below their patrician noses. Like wtf did the kids from the "Kōkōs" ever do to you "Gakuen" bitches?

Huh, Shirabu?

Anything you wanna say, Kunimi?

Okay. Back to the big guy...

Just look at him! He's super hawt and I love him to pieces rawr! 😍 Not the point. This one's elitist as fuck, you can't tell me otherwise. Like I can't write him as a poor/average person. It's weird. 😂

To Oikawa he goes, "My team's the bestest among the best and your team is shit except for you, I like you. Set for me." Like he fucking says this to Oikawa after Seijoh loses to Karasuno and for what? Read the room? My baby wants to be alone with...

And then! Ushiwaka goes around and spouts this bs about fertile soil producing the best yield i.e. Shiratorizawa and him and his team. Idk that sounded so high-handed to me, like oh sure, it's a fact that with the privilege to be in a private school that could fund good sports training, one could become a better athlete than others. Or sure, with innate talent, they could be better. It gives them an edge.

I might be wrong but it's like he's calling out Hinata and Kageyama for being from that proverbial "concrete" i.e. Karasuno OR Oikawa for being the only "efficient (?!)" player from Seijoh with his bad teammates.

It's unfair because (A) it's not like it's within Hinata and Kageyama's control that Karasuno doesn't have the best coaching there is and (B) it's not like Oikawa has control over who gets to be in his team even if he is captain. And they don't deserve to hear Ushijima say, "I don't wanna talk to losers who can't win against Oikawa and his shit team."

Biiiitch. Tell me that's not bad. Haha I really went for Toshi's ass. Sorry, my sweet manly man that I wanna climb.

But did Oikawa ever say something this mean? I mean apart from nearly punching 7th grade Gun Gun Milk boy and plotting to bury Tangerine Ninja with Iwa-chan?

Ah, Iwa-chan...the only one our greatest villain Oikawa Toru is scared of...

What does that say? 😏

Okay, given, Oikawa needs to be grounded. But why threaten him of bodily harm when he sneezes with the possibility of contracting a cold? Hm? Why is that? Explain, Iwaizumi Hajime, 27, athletic trainer, p*ssy pounder *wipes drool, clears throat* I meant, JVA employee. Shouldn't we cuddle him instead? Make him chicken soup? Tuck him in bed? 😑 You meanie!

And speaking of mean people...

Need I say more? Tsukki and Tobio said more mean things to more people than Oikawa. Just count...😬

Honorable mentions because they're not exactly as bad as the others but they've got mean bones in their bodies somewhere:

Sakusa Kiyoomi (haughty ushiwaka partisan; secretly hates oikawa by extension 😂)

Futakuchi Kenji (bastard with a capital B; defo oikawa hater)

Hoshiumi Kourai (close to hell. very close to hell)

Sugawara Koushi (100% yes 👏)

Kuroo Tetsurou (evil chicken but finger lickin good)

Quick question: why does everyone think Suna Rintarou is a walking red flag? He's such a cutie little baby though? Like...he just wants to see Kita baby-talking his pet bird?

Anyway...I got carried away 🤣🤣🤣

Bottom line: How the hell is Oikawa a villain in the true essence of that word??? 😤 On par with Sukuna (let's make him the standard today cause 🤬)? HOW?!

Bet there will be those who'll get their panties in a twist and say, "Ek-chew-weli...he traumatized Tobio." Fine. 🙄😂

#readers asks #oikawa #oikawa toru #haikyuu #bruh this was so fun #omg anon i'm so sorry 😭😂#i love them all

Very Little Nightmares Opinions and Theories

https://random-bi-writer.tumblr.com/post/703035769296683008/i-do-not-have-the-courage-to-play-horror-games

Check the link first.

I’m not sure how long this post will be so I’ll just use those keep reading buttons just in case.

I know that it’s stupid to make theories only about the first game when there are sequels but this is just for fun.

My head is filled with memes. Why am I like this?

Opinions on characters

1) The Girl in the Yellow Raincoat (official)/ Ori (the name I gave her) - Lesbian jokes aside, I think she’s more feral than the other two. I mean this kid did not hesitate to torture that butler and she kinda left Six to die even if she helped her in the end.

2) Six - Poor baby has been through much. I know I made lesbian jokes but Six is nothing more but one tragedy to the other. This might because of this game’s artstyle but Six looked like she’s barely 4 or 5, imagine someone at that age, trying to help someone but failed and watched her fall to her death. And then years later, where she looks 11 or 12, she finds herself in the Maw and has to deal with cannibals, the kid doesn’t even know that she became one! (She probably thinks the lady isn’t human, and that’s completely fair)

3) Nomes - So the Nomes in the Maw are just plain depressing while the ones in the Mansion are just having their best life.

4) The Craftsman - ...Why is this game so bad at boss names

5) The Butler - Poor guy, he deserves better. Well his chase music was terrifying though.

6) The Pretender - Oh that’s her name. So she just turns children into dolls. If you want friends, just say so.

Theories

1) The Lady’s daughters

This might have been a very old theory. But Ori’s starting point was in a hot air balloon. She was even sleeping there.

Not to mention, the Nomes in the Maw were very skittish with Six. Considering what I’ve seen, Ori is probably a feral girl that doesn’t really care if others gets hurt.

But I guess she has limits, if she was the Lady’s daughter it would make sense if she tries to leave.

There’s also the children and the Nomes.

I thought the children at the Maw were just fated to be food, but I think they were supposed to be playmates for the Pretender.

They have to be connected somehow. Also this kind of implies that Ori and the Pretender are siblings.

If they are, then whatever Ori did at the Maw really pissed the Pretender off, enough to even attempt murder on the sight of her.

2) Immune

So the thing about the protags so far is that they dream about the bosses and having to encounter them. Basically, vision dreams.

But here’s the thing, only Six survived. Sunday (the name I gave to Rk/Seven) got turned into a Nome (and probably the one who got eaten) while Ori fell off a cliff and drowned.

But Six managed to kill her final boss despite having this vision dream.

She’s very different compared to the other two. She actually acts like a kid despite her trauma while the other two are two serious or feral despite having kid moments.

Funny how the one kid who doesn’t act like a survivor is the one who survived the most.

DFF language notes and observations

This was originally just supposed to be a quick look at Non's meds in ep. 8 but then I finished watching the episode and felt compelled to rewatch the entire show 🫠 So might as well collect everything into one post!

Disclaimer: not a native Thai speaker, still learning 🙏

Por's mumblings (ep. 2)

กูขอโทษ อย่าเอาคืนกูเลย /guu khaaw thoht. yaa ao kheuun guu loei/ = "I'm sorry. Don't take revenge on me/Don't get back at me."

Time and ages

The present takes place in 2023, the past was three years ago, in 2020. Apart from White, the boys are all the same age according to the character overview below, which makes them all 19-20 years old in the present (while White is 18 and a freshman). In the past up to ep. 8, they would have been 16-17 years old and in 11th grade (ม. 5/3 -> Matthayom 5, class 3; ม. stands for มัธยม /mat tha yohm/ = secondary school).

Potty mouth Fluke

In the present, I swear every other word out of his mouth is a swear and the subs don't always make it obvious. An example of when he's speaking calmly in ep. 3:

เพราะคนอย่างไอ้เหี้ยท็อปอ่ะ แม่งคงไม่ปล่อยให้โอกาสแบบเนี่ยะหลุดมือไปง่ายๆละเว่ย /phraw khohn yaang ai hia Top a- maaeng khohng mai blaawy hai oh gaat baaep niia loot meuu bpai ngaai ngaai la woei/ = Because someone like that dipshit Top wouldn't fucking let an opportunity like this slip his hands so easily.

It's not like the others don't curse, they sure do lol, but Fluke does so even when not in a stressful situation, and it sticks out in contrast to White especially because the baby speaks so properly and politely to his phis.

Newspaper clipping (ep. 4)

เป็นแฟนไอ้ตี๋แต่มึงไม่รู้จักอาโจ้นะ /bpen faaen ai Tee dtaae meung mei ruu jak aa Joe na/ = You're Tee's boyfriend but don't know uncle Joe?

The headline reads: ตายปริศน��'เสี่ยโจ้'นายบ่อนใหญ่ /dtaai bprit sa naa 'siia Joe' naai baawn yai/ = Mysterious death of 'bigwig* Joe' the gambling magnate** ฟอกเงินบัญชีม้ากว่า 300 ล้าน /faawk ngern ban chee maa gwaa 300 laan/ = Laundered money with over 300 million mule accounts

* เสี่ย /siia/ = a rich guy who squanders money, a big spender in illicit businesses, mostly used for middle-aged men; it's used as a pronoun, hence why he's known as เสี่ยโจ้ /siia Joe/ and we hear his subordinates call him เสี่ย /siia/, often subbed as Boss; it's a term of Teochew origin that describes an aristocrat's son, originally ** นายบ่อนใหญ่ /naai baawn yai/ = big shot gambling den boss or the boss of a huge gambling den

The snippet on the right is another easter egg btw - 'Talking to Pond Krisda, director of "Man Suang", Thai filmmaking [...]' but I can't make out the rest in that box (the snippet above that, too, though some of it I can tell says tourists, free visa, 3 months).

Greasy

What the boys call Non is (ไอ้)เมือก /(ai) meuuak/ which is more like Slimy or Mucous, actually.

More news (ep. 6, 7, 8)

Gang of senior high teens accomplices to mule accounts

Police does 180: Senior high teens escape lawsuit for shady mule accounts

High school kid goes missing at same time as teacher in leaked clip Connected to case of shady mule account teens

Past injury?

Whoever actually leaked the clip has this pelvis x-ray saved that's labeled to be from that same year, 2563 aka 2020. The two files at the top look to be invoices.

Pronouns

When Phee goes to confront Non about the leaked clip, he's so furious that he switches from their usual เรา /rao/ (= I; informal) + calling each other by name instead of using a 2nd pers. pronoun to calling both Non and Keng มึง /meung/ (= you; impolite) and himself กู /guu/ (= I; impolite). For reference, กู/มึง /guu, meung/ are the same pronouns the entire friend group use with each other, as male friends in Thai shows often do. Non, as the new addition to the group, is the only one who uses เรา /rao/ + names, and Jin is the only who reciprocally uses these pronouns with him.

Non's meds

Lorazepam -> benzodiazepine; used for treating anxiety disorders, insomnia, seizures etc.

Sertraline -> antidepressant; used for treating clinical depression, PTSD, OCD, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder

Quetiapine -> antipsychotic; used for treating schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, clinical depression etc.

THC poster, and a goof

ที่แห่งนี้...ไม่ได้มีแค่พวกเรา /thee haaeng nee...mai dai mee khaae puuak rao/ = In this place... it's not just us.

I'm sure there's more going on than just Phee and Tan infiltrating the group to get evidence and avenge Non. Like, Keng was on the phone with his contact Joy when he got hit by that white truck of doom car so I wonder if she's gonna come into play again in the present and who she really is.

And just for fun: that half-heartedly covered poster behind Tee looks suspiciously like a movie about a young chocolatier that shouldn't be out for another 3 years, according to the time line of this show lol

#dead friend forever #dff the series #dead friend forever spoilers #dff spoilers #dff meta #but is it though?? i'm mostly just translating shit #local woman harps on about linguistics #spoiler tags just to be safe ✊#local woman harps on about dff

Hellsite Nostalgia Tour 2023 Day 346

Drag Me Away (From You)/Flux: Chapter Two—War of the Sontarans

“Drag Me Away (From You)”

Plot Description: the murder of an old friend leads Sam and Dean to revisit the first case they ever worked and an evil entity they thought they’d killed years earlier

Would I Survive the First Five Minutes?: oh. I’d never go to a place of near certain death, I’m pretty sure. That’s never been in me to do…face a monster I’m trying to prove isn’t real?? Why would I do that?

Oh so Cas…Cas DID tell Dean, but in classic Winchester fashion, Dean’s keeping the truth about Jack’s mission from Sam

Baby Dean! Stop being mean to Baby Sam!!

If it I hadn’t watched nearly 15 seasons of spn, I’d be so concerned about the knife and gun in Baby Sam’s bag

Oh…so was the ghost that guy saw was…it looked like his childhood self

Responsible 15ish year old Dean not letting the others come with him…or walking the line between self sacrificial and brave Dean

Why did I think that the malevolent entity was gonna have a weird message in the boggle dice??

Oh they’re gonna have to destroy they ring.

So is the thing they’re hunting not even killing with real objects?? I’m so confused

Oh I bet Dean’s gonna tell Sam about Jack at the end of this episode after divulging that the thing they’re hunting kept a nest of dead kids to feed on

Billie’s not wrong. I was also wondering why we’re doing normal hunting this close to the end of the entire series

This green motel room is much easier on the eyes than the orange one

I would let Billie boss me around 100%

How did we really only get to Baba Yaga in the last five episodes of spn??? How have THEY never heard of Baba Yaga before NOW?!

Bet BY took Caitlin to the cannery where her nest is. Why am I better at the boys’ job than they are?

The way I knew those bubbly noises were going to be the front desk girl hitting a bong. Why are the boys so bad at this??

Hell yeah hell yeah hell yeah, room 214 actually took Dean right to the cannery LIKE 👏 I 👏 SAID 👏

Ok so it was still room 214 but she made him hallucinate that it was the cannery…like he admitted he was afraid of for a long time

HERE IT IS!!! He’s telling Sam everything that he’s been told in the past few days

I should be annoyed by the fact that this drama has come down to one Winchester hiding important info from the other and them arguing about it BUT OMG THE DRAMA of Dean basically saying that in the very end, ethics go out the window. It’s WILD.

Say what I will about Chuck and how much I hate him but…if he’s writing this argument? HOOOO BOY!! THIS is how you get the Winchester boys at each other’s throats even after all they’ve been through for your perfect Michael & Lucifer or Cain & Able story

“Flux: Chapter Two—War of the Sontarans”

Plot Description: during the Crimean War, the Doctor discovers the British army fighting a brutal alien army of Sontarans, as Yaz and Dan are thrown deeper into a battle for survival. What is the Temple of Atropos? Who are the Mouri?

Please tell me we’re not introducing even more concepts into this already really weird and overly crowded season

I guess since this dude has been out in space and o have no idea what time he’s from, it might make sense for him to not be disturbed by a floating terrarium filled with light barking orders at him (looks like HE is in the temple that holds the Mouri)

Thought Dan and Yaz were being erased a la Back to the Future rules but turns out they’re just taken to some other point in time

Oh now Yaz is in the temple and Dan is in a changed present where the Sontarans have taken over….hmmmm several people are outside their time

“I have Queen and country on my side. That is all I need” Wrong! You need god and anime and the Doctor

I don’t want to spend more time than necessary with the Sontarans but their philosophies are interesting. It’s very absolute and centered on death. Mercy is a quick death

Really thought the Sontarans had carried through from the Crimean War to present, not arrived again two days ago

Gonna go out on a limb and say that repairing the Mouri is not going to be a task with a positive impact. Yeah…Yaz is already suspicious of it

Dan gets kidnapped by an alien one time and thinks he can handle any alien thing the universe throws his way

This British general is an absolute idiot letting his troops fight the Sontarans

At least we’re condensing things a little by bringing the formerly imprisoned alien to the temple where Yaz is

I can’t see a Sontaran door and what they use to open them and not think “Donna, you have three fingers”

Oh shit. He just disintegrated one of the Mouri

(Meg chooses the worst times to smurgle so close to my face)

Is that known lore about the Sontarans?? That they need to rest in their ship every 27 hours to replenish their suits to circulate the gases their planet has?

I hate this general so much. Could have just let the Sontarans leave but decided to blow up their ships as they tried to

Dan is such a random sort of companion. Like, I know they’re all a little randomly selected but Dan is even more so, it seems

Ooooooo he replaced the disintegrated Mouri with Yaz and the space station dude

FACELESS LOVE EPS ⓵&⓶

📸: Lakorns

I really enjoyed the first two eps of Faceless Love. ( Granted I maybe slightly biased since I was in love with the Korean Vers.) All I will say though come on GMM don't let me down.

Like, I even got over the actor change very quickly. It was not due to any hate. I actually have enjoyed quite a few Luke drama's honestly pretty much most he has been in. I was just slightly attached to the other actor that was shown in the mock trailer and excited to see him in the role. But, anyways I'm enjoying Luke thus far (I don't know if I'm the only person that feels this way) but Luke really fits the business man vibe and I also feel like his is starting to come into and grown as an actor.

Also on another note Dew is so cute. I'm glad to see him in a lead role. cause I instantly loved him in F4 and wished he had a bigger role in the series. He just has that boy next door charm about him. So, far I'm loving it.

Okay now on to my questions segment and random live reacting:

⓵

what in the non-professionalism how y'all going to move up the interview...

Girl, was struggling...

I wonder what they change

He was really a douchebag out the gate like okay...

But, love that she was not letting him just treat he anyways just because he is rich or a boss of whatever. he did not give her respect and judged her and she stood her ground and told him off.

What is the connection???

I should note its been a long time since I've watched the Korean Vers. (might have to rewatch after this end so i can do a deep dive comparison)

oh, we getting a makeover right in ep one.

Its funny how Chanon feels like the peace-keeper/baby sitter to make sure that Vee & Mirin don't harm each other. Boy had literally had to break up two fight already...

G-ma really dropped "the soup"... they ain't even try to put anything in the pot...

Um, Vee I feel like that could be reported as sexual harassment.

Personal space

Please 6 feet.

Not you pulling her back to continue smelling her...

Um, sir. Please Stop!

Like, okay. Thanks...

Love it! Girl let him know.

Set his expectations!

Chanon seems like he's already in love.. just saying. or at least has slight feelings or interest

I love his secetary. Please let her stay awesome and nice throughout the series

Girl is giving him top tier home made hot chocolate (now I want some) woah just like his mama used to make.

the way to a mans heart is through his stomach (cringe. but true)

You end it with her giving him the hot chocolate... really.

Thank goodness I still got ep 2 to watch.

⓶

Okay but who is this boy that think is supposed to be Chanon um... really GMM

Boy really couldn't just have said thank you and complemented her for the hot chocolate . He really just be starting fights... remember last ep when you was upset about being seen as a bad guy. you are not helping that case.

Like okay... why is this her problem.

(Theory Time) So, is her mother actually his mothers bestfriend. Has she been basically prepping her daughter to marry her best friends son.

Like I'm starting to think he has his doubts that she is actually who she's named after... is that why she is fighting her so much....

Boy really doesn't trust anyone. I relate to that

Like why would it be weird for her to be called mirin that could very well just be her nickname

not these me just changing right in front of the new hire on her first day.

I will probably say this throughout every episode. I love that she takes up for herself.

can he see her?? oh NOPE.

I literally would i been like who said that I'm sorry can you raise your hand...

he really under-minded her praise .. like why... is it like no one can praise you but me. or are they that close. they bicker like siblings...

bye girl... like you are not worth this job I literally just started today...

Is mama trying to hook Tanya up with her son or am i readying the vibe/moment wrong. Are you going to be trying to give your son everything Vee has.

Random Thought can he see himself...like in mirrors or pictures..

girl... stop "waves arms aggressively im front of her stop speaking.

girl, you was just supposed to say thank you....

i mean not to take side you could have told her.. about the earrings ahead of time... especially since you knew she had no fashion background/experience

yeah boy already got feelings he literally took up for her!! love it.

I'm sorry but Luke running out screaming was a little bit funny.

can you see her??? um, no idea

oh, love that were getting some of the little lies out of the way early versus them being major things later for no reason.

the kiddos are so cute. Of course she is going to be the "thin" that he can't give in the future.

Oh god? That's hilariously terrifying? IMAGINE~☆ no, for real, imagine it!

You are in a room full of mixed ninjas from various Clans. Those weird lil noodle things are fuckin EVERYWHERE. They are suddenly to the Uchiha what dogs are to the Inuzuka but? Somehow NOT? Are permanent babies? Because the Uchiha already had Nin-Cats.

It was a Whole Thing. Still is? You can hear an Inuzuka joking to a living statue of a Uchiha, just an UTTERLY humorless looking bastard, that they've clearly upgraded. All while the Uchiha's nin-cat next to them is making rude gestures at his dog, who looks long suffering.

ALL the Uchiha are carrying these weird toddler dragon things.

ALL OF THEM.

They're cuddled up, watching in fascination, as the Elders go about their day. Play Go and do old people meddling. Treated like beloved grandchildren. They are stuffed in a wild variety of decorative lil outfits by housewives, who gleefully cart them around to coo over and share their day with. You have yet to see a SINGLE uchiha kid who ISN'T carting one around like a security blanket/younger sibling/beloved puppy or something!

And the official nin?

It's apparently bring your weird noodle kid to work day! They ALL insist the dragon thing is "their child". You're not sure if they mean "I adopted them" or "this one is mine, as opposed to the OTHER dragon children". You're afraid to ask.

But like? They? Are on duty???

How is this allowed?

Seriously, no, like? Good for them or whatever. They have apparently dislodged the collective stick up their asses. Great! Maybe they'll be less nightmares to work with! But??? You GOT TO ASK. Because SOMEONE FUCKING HAS TO and apparently everyone else is a COWARD?

If those things are "toddler" dragon thingies or whatever? Is it REALLY okay to let the Uchiha be carting them around like this? We don't bring kids on missions for a REASON. You are concerned.

Somehow this makes all the super bristling Uchiha around you relax like you are suddenly their best friend. They damn near shout over each other as they try to be the first to explain to you, in Very Serious Debriefing Voice, their multi decade child rearing plan. There is shoving.

Oh.

Oh they are awkward lil weirdos, aren't they? Entire clan has history's worst case of Resting Bitch Face. You can practically FEEL your Aburame teammate laughing at you. They DID try to explain. You just didn't really get the bug terminology. Yeah, yeah, fuck you too, buddy.

So they're like... perma-puppies? Long lived to the point they might as well be? Is it a Clan wide permanent D-Rank thing? You babysit, the boss summons MIGHT answer you?

You don't "get it". But, whatever. They seem less "we feast off the terror of small children" so, honestly? Take it as a win.

You watch as a Inuzuka pads past with a colony(?) of the noodle things gleefully clinging to their back. They've agreed to amuse the noodles while their... "parents"(?) turn in reports? The little guys are cheering and having the time of their lives. You gotta admit... it's kinda ridiculously cute.

But THEN?

Some asshole Chunin SHOVES an Uchiha genin who was quietly waiting in line to hand in his team's reports. His team, across the room, whip around when they hear the little guy's cut off startled cry. The genin BARELY avoids biting the floorboards thanks to a nearby Aburame jounin, who's hand shoots out to catch them.

The Uchiha around the room, previously so... not, RELAXED per say, but calm? Tense. Like they are suddenly in enemy territory. What the FUCK? You can see them, shifting, ready to intervene.

The Chunin clearly can't read a room for SHIT. Sneers down at the genin, IGNORING the ominous low buzz coming from the Aburame who just caught them, and is clearly about to say something UGLY when?

Deafening Silence.

Countless Eyes.

It takes a moment to understand the change. It's become so... so NORMAL. Background chatter and buzz. The squeals, the chirps, the mrrps and grumbles. Constant, chatty, opinionated noise... suddenly DEAFENINGLY silent. You look down.

It's like time slows as you do.

The noodle creatures... forever moving, giggling, mischievous and ALIVE... are all Perfectly Still. Not breathing. Not blinking. Just.... silent.

Like predators.

They don't look so cute at the moment. Claws sharper then you KNOW they were a second ago, coloration darker, eyes GLOWING. They look like piranhas in the air. Sharp, deadly, and... and with a sinking feeling... your eyes shoot around. Trying to count EXACTLY how many there are.

The room is COVERED in small, glowing, eyes.

Heads that move in perfect synchronization. All focused on the Chunin. The Threat. What a second agon was hundreds of individual little dragons... is now a Singular Hive Mind. Like an Aburame's companions made large.

Oh.... Oh SHIT.

You shakely reach out to smack desperately at your Aburame teammate for ANSWERS. Is that a bug? PLEASE tell you that is a bug and they can kinda control it! We are trapped in a ROOM with them!! The Uchiha did NOT need help getting more terrifying!

Your teammate acts like you're being dramatic.

He is DEAD to you.

You need a fucking drink.

Oh god :Dc a Danny Summons Contract

No you guys DON'T UNDERSTAND-!

Just. Danny! Only Danny! He fucked up. Some ancient Warring States Ninja fucked up. They BOTH agreed to NEVER talk about it again.

Cause like? That ninja? Was a GROWN ASS MAN. A qualified BAMF of the highest order. He WAS the Danger, thank you very much. So, he? Will NEVER live down being saved by...well...

*holds up wildly struggling, noodle limbed, sad wet raccoon havin a terrible day lookin, meat thresher on legs*

THIS.

It's a BABY. Honestly, his Clan's TODDLERS know how to throw better punch. This scrawny infant baby child is both? His new son. AND an embarrassing trainwreck in motion. FFS kid, that's not how you- No! NO! Don't you DARE bite that opponent! You don't know where they've B-!

Kid they could have BEEN POISONED!!! Spit um OUT! DROP UM! Drop that RIGHT NOW! What are you? A dead Inuzuka? A god forsaken Hatake!? DROP IT!!!

It...sure is An Adventure™.

One of many early "here's how you DON'T make a Summoning contract" experiments, that Clans without seal masters were attempting. He's honestly lucky HIS attempt ended with him still... you know... ALIVE. Problem, though? After bunking for like... a few months? A year? In the command center?

And you know, terrorizing the GIW into complete collapse. Parenting him through some pretty serious life changes. Somehow making Sam MORE terrifying. And a whole host of off screen ninja shenanigans? They figure out? Oh. Only way to send him HOME is to either accept or refuse a Contract.

They gotta make one.

First they head to Frostbite for a recommendation, then? Off to a reputable Ghost Lawyer they go! They have to camp in the waiting room for like... a week. But? Worth it! The contract is AMAZING. And terrifying! Protects them both. Can't be used against EITHER. And that loophole you're thinking off? Ten pages worth of point 4 script, twenty three yards down, for why it's a BAD IDEA and breaks contract~!

Neither of them can make the other do SHIT! Only fully consensual, mutually beneficial, ass kicking here! If we FEEL LIKE IT!

Ninja dad insisted. Never sign a contract with anything less then extreme paranoia, kid! Leave no "implied" or "spirit of the rules"! Loopholes are holes in your armor, with which your enemy stabs you in the back!

Danny, tearfully, sends ninja dad home.

Gross. Emotions all over his armor. If only there wasn't all this sand in his eyes, he'd definitely complain about it. *stoic ninja hug*

Danny? Become a king. One of many. An Ancient. Becomes FUCKING HUUUUUUUUGE. Like? "Aw, your city is so pwecious~☆ n smol~♡! Whats it called again? New York?" Huge. A fuckin LEVIATHAN made of void, stars, and space ice. A Winter corpse, marked by lightning, that became the night sky itself. With a crown of aurora borealis, ever shifting, like flame.

Proportional, in a way, to Summon Bosses. Just as a normal human is to a normal toad, a normal cat, a normal slug. So too, is Danny LARGER then them.

You know... when he feels like it.

The contract? Passes down. Ninja dad does warn his kin. Prooooobably not gonna answer you. He only answers ME cause I'm, well, ME.

Fuckin BET. They declare. And lose. Repeatedly.

Time marches on. The Senju and Uchiha has their Drama. Dear KAMI do they Have Their Drama. Please Stop, says everyone. They... do not. The contract? Fuckin STOLEN. Because of course it is.

It's a HUGE, glowing, death radiating Summons Contract kept in a shrine behind like... SO MANY seals. It makes anyone less then a full grown JOUNIN physically SICK to even touch! Prolonged exposure kills people! Of COURSE it gets fuckin stolen. It's obviously a super, mega, ultra rare AMAZEBALLS Summon Contract... right?

Eeeeeeeeeeeh *so-so hand motion* KINDA!

It IS technically that.

They ain't wrong. Cause Danny IS an Adult now. A King. Connected to the Zone. An ANCIENT. Beyond and Above his mortal origins, even as, by being a Halfa, he is utterly the same. That contract is as close as one could GET to having a contract with the Sage himself.

You know... if he answered you.

Felt like your petty bullshit was worth getting up off the couch for.

Not to MENTION? He can make clones! Like.... billions of them now. Has a skeleton army. Is kinda one of the stronger Ancients. But that's not the point. The POINT? Clones. Don't have to be EQUAL facets of self.

You CAN make a .00001% clone of yourself!

Behold *summons poof noise* Lil Baby Man!

The harbinger of Danny! Here to Test Your VIBEZ™. He sends them each time. To be an adorable menace. Cause problems on purpose. Be gremlins, chew on table legs, maybe. You know, the works! They RADIATE his " I Am Death." Energy. But also his "winter, protection, and starlight" vibes... if you're brave enough to LOOK.

If you don't flinch away from a spirit of the dead. Can embrace the chaotic nature of a Zone ghost. Are kind to something that isn't what you expected, that you can USE, that appears weaker then you. Something that seems dumb. Distractable. Useless in battle.

Can you be kind? Do you immediately give up? To recognize a test when you see one? Is your first impulse cruelty? Distain? It tells Danny a lot. Saves him time.

Which? Is how a young Itachi, freshly Jounin'd, gets thrown through an old and rotting wooden gate into what LOOKS like a vaguely demonic death shrine. Hmmm, concerning. Baby 'tachi has been separated from his teammates. Is having a Bad Time™. The crows can't really help much here.

And, well, that IS a Summoning contract...

He's outnumbered. Low on both weapons and Chakra. Refuses to do anything BUT return home to his family. His baby brother. Is it WISE? No. It is in fact, incredibly, incredibly UNWISE. He has no idea what he'll be agreeing too. But... so long as he live just a bit longer...

He slams an earth wall against the entrance.

Falls back to the Glowing Contract.

Stumbles, as even landing near it makes his insides revolt. His skin prickle and burn. Colder then the nine tails Chakra, emptier, yet somehow endlessly more ABSOLUTE.

It's like the very Chakra in his body screams against it. Rejects it's mere presence. As though all thing alive REFUSE it with desperation and fear. He has no time to muse upon this. It hurt his hand to touch. He does so anyway. Struggling to hold the earthwall against enemy attacks.

He doesn't bother to read the contract. Flings it from the pedestal, to unravel, so he may sign quickly. There. With a practiced motion, he nicks his finger, and scrawls his future away. Whatever demons may come. Whatever monsters this brings. Please... let him live long enough to say goodbye.

The world CRACKS as he summons.

Death and the Shinigami are not the same.

Even those without the ability to sense are battered by the tsunami of... not killing intent. No. There is no intent. No killing. Just... knowing. Heraldry. That Death comes for us all. You can not escape. Foolish and small, is this what you waste your existence on? Ants before a god. Dust before the heavens. He... he can not... breathe...

Frozen. Eyes wide. Sharigan spinning, spinning, spinning. Capturing the delicate lace of nothingness, absence of life, as it drifts by. Unable to move from where he kneels, bloody hand pressed to the ground, in a Summoning.

What Has He Done?

Outside there is panic. Screaming. They flee. He... he wishes he could flee. W...why can't he-? *THHHWAP!* Mmmmph?! Something small and almost bird shaped smacks into his face like a flung ration. Tiny arms spread wide to cling to his bangs and dangle. The deathy power fades... almost... almost as though it were... a threat display?

He focuses on the tiny creature whining and hugging his face. It... is a floating snake toddler? Or is it dragon? They have sharp little claws and stars along their face, a tiny whispy mane of white. Likely a dragon child then. They stick their small tounge out slightly, eyes the blankly trusting stare of small children everywhere.

He clearly want to be carried. Ah. Of course, little one.

Did... did he agree to raise a dragon?

Just?

Itachi, smol. Serious. With lil baby man floped on his head or tucked lovingly in his arms. The TEXTBOOK definition of "he don't bite" "YES HE DO!!!" For everyone but Itachi and Sasuke. To whom he is, of course, an INNOCENT BABY who has NEVER done anything wrong EVER. An angel! Why is everyone being so MEAN to poor innocent baby man? Boo hoo~!

It fucks up SO MANY plans.

Because Itachi. A smol child. INSISTS he is a Father now. What are you going to do? Say he can be? Why? Because he's a CHILD? Which is it? Is he a Jounin or a Dependant? An adult in the eyes of the law or a child to be protected by said law from pushing him off to war? Old enough to die, old enough to parent his dragon son!

And SORRY Father, he CANT join Anbu. Who would be there for his child? Ah, he should join a parenting group. *various competent parent instincts go haywire over this tiny Uchiha child in need of parenting* Danzo? For some reason his son seems to really, REALLY hate him. Better avoid him. His child doesn't know yet not to bite respected elders.

Sasuke? Gets to be an UNCLE! To a DRAGON! He takes his job very seriously.

It's the best PR the clan has ever had.
