Gelatin Skeleton
Summary:
Apparently the multiverse doesn't need your permission to Isekai you. It doesn't even have to give you the courtesy of letting you know it happened.

Undertale is gone, like it never existed.
…
You would know—you've looked.

"Wait- so you're telling me the void ate my universe? I'm living the weirdest 'I survived' book?!! Introducing to scholastic book fairs everywhere: 'I survived the destruction of the universe when the void decided to get all schlorpy schlorpy!?'"
…
"I am unfortunately fully aware of what information your universe had in the way of… fanfiction about my friends and family-"

Notes:
Formatting is better on AO3 (italicized font and such)
Update schedule: AO3 will get new chapters earlier (probably about a day) than Tumblr. (Aiming for once a week, on Thursdays or Fridays - not set in stone)
Link to read on AO3:
Chapter 1: Wikipedia, my beloved.
(read chapter 2 here)
Going to sleep in one universe and waking up in another sounds like the kind of thing people would write about in various types of fiction. Because it is . It's such a prevalent trope that it has its own genre: Isekai .
As defined by Wikipedia, "Isekai, ( Japanese: 異世界, transl. "different world" or "otherworld") is a genre of speculative fiction—both portal fantasy and science fiction are included. It includes novels, light novels, films, manga, anime and video games that revolve around a displaced person or people who are transported to and have to survive in another world, such as a fantasy world, virtual world, or parallel universe. Isekai is one of the most popular genres of anime, and Isekai stories share many common tropes…"
You'd think someone would notice being Isekai-d; that you might feel different upon waking up in a world where things are changed in new and mysterious ways—perhaps feel empowered? Surely when one is suddenly transported into another reality, they might remember the day it happened?
Apparently the multiverse doesn't need your permission to Isekai you. It doesn't even have to give you the courtesy of letting you know it happened.
Or, well, you think this is another universe, at least? Because an entire chunk of internet-culture/pop-culture was missing when you went to Google it yesterday.
Is missing.
Still.
Undertale is gone, like it never existed. You would know—you've looked.
It's not like years' worth of memes and fanfiction and fanart pertaining to a game that changed the entire gaming industry could just up and disappear out of nowhere, could it?! But you can't find any sign of it anywhere online or offline—and you definitely had physical evidence.
You'd stayed up all night last night searching for a single trace of the game and fandom you'd spent years of your life looking toward for comfort and entertainment. You’d looked everywhere.
But it's gone.
All of it.
Everything.
It's impossible.
There has to be an explanation.
Which brings you to your current Isekai theory: Maybe it's not gone— you are. You might be somewhere new where it never existed in the first place.
Either that or your brain is really majorly messed up and created an alarmingly huge chunk of false memories.
.... Actually… How long has Undertale been missing for you?
Has this happened before and you just can't remember it?
You check your search history. Nothing about Undertale before yesterday. Which is definitely strange because you'd been on AO3 looking through Undertale tags two weeks ago. And there's no need to delete your search history when you live alone. Your most recent search history from right before your rabbit hole yesterday is still the same Wikipedia article you remember reading.
Strange.
So Undertale being wiped from the face of the Earth must've happened sometime in the past two weeks.
You check the Google search trends for the words, 'Undertale' and 'Meglovania,' among several other words and phrases more unique to the game and fandom than 'Sans,' and 'Papyrus.' You want to get to the bottom of this, but you're pretty sure those character names won't get you any closer to an answer with how common they are to describe non-Undertale related things.
It's somehow not a surprise to you when search trends show that exactly zero people are looking for the answers you are.
Okay, so that kicks the possibility of finding anyone else who remembers Undertale.
You check search trends for 'alternate reality,' 'alternate universe,' and 'alternate dimension,' and you also open up a separate tab to the Wikipedia article for 'Isekai.'
It seems like there's definitely a good amount of search queries related to each term, but upon further inspection, they're mostly about isekai anime and tv shows like Dr Who.
Not really all that helpful, but maybe when you're not dealing with the real-world issues of dimensional travel you can take a break and watch the ones that seem interesting.
You bookmark a few articles that seem to be about actual science and not sci-fi media, but besides scientific papers and articles misquoting those same scientific papers, you've hit a dead end. You turn your attention towards finding discussion posts or forums on the topic —Maybe something on Reddit?
…..
Okay, nope.
You're not going to have much luck bringing in other people to help you with this unless you're looking to end up institutionalized. Not that there's any shame in that, but you don't think it'd help you much in this particular situation.
Man, you are really hoping for your Isekai theory to ring true. Otherwise, you're SOL with no way of finding out what's going on here. You feel like that guy who had to rewrite all the Beatles songs from memory in that one movie. What was it called? Yesterday?
Not that you think you could reproduce any of the content you remember about Undertale.
No, you definitely couldn't, especially not the game itself. You aren't a one-man game dev team, and the idea of trying to profit off someone else's ideas like that makes you feel slimy. Even if you're in an alternate dimension or if your brain actually came up with everything and created false memories, you couldn't bring yourself to claim what you feel is someone else's intellectual property. You'll just have to quietly remember on your own and create fan-content privately from now on. That thought makes you feel kind of alone…
You push that down and bottle it up for future you to deal with. Right now you need to determine how and why this happened through some gentle research. No need to end up on any government watchlists.
#I wrote this for me but you can read it too#no beta we disappear like W.D.

Americana Spooky
Summary: Kurt Wagner/Reader; Reader gets to show Kurt what a traditional American Halloween is
Halloween Challenge Rules Here!
Kurt Wagner looks confused, and adorable; you’d be lying if the way he fidgets with his tail wasn’t one of the reason you’d developed a crush on him so quickly.
“Are you okay?”
“Vhat is that for?” Kurt gestures to the plastic skeleton that’s in the armchair reserved for Mr. Magneto when he comes; Hank has pinned a nametag on it and Logan made a helmet for it as well.
“Oh; it’s for halloween!” His tail lashes back and forth betraying his excitement.
“You celebrate it? The circus never had time; or they thought it a pagan ritual..” He seems nervous again, hands stills his tail; you grin at him.
“No it’s not that; it’s mostly just for like little kids to eat a bunch of sugar and run around in costumes! It’s just for fun!!!”
“Costumes?”
“Mhm; there’s so much we have to do!!!”
“What’s wrong?”
“Kurt has never had an American Halloween!!! We have to show him everything!!!”
“Y/N do you just want an excuse to parade your boyfriend about?”
“Well I can do that anytime; but yes. Professor already said we could take a field trip to the pumpkin patch and each of us gets to pick a pumpkin!”
“We each get a pumpkin; are there size limits?” Scott looks a little shocked; at least his eyebrows seem higher up than normal.
“Just what you can carry. So I think colossus is gonna get the biggest one.”
“Jean.. pleaseeeeee; I know you can move it…. I have to have a bigger one than Peter!!” Scott’s already grinning at her and she laughs shaking her head.
“No way; I’m getting the biggest one! Logan said he’d give twenty bucks to whoever brought the biggest one home!”
“Pumpkins? Like the food?”
“Mhm; some of them we just carve! It’s a tradition if you-”
“UGH THAT SMELLS LIKE-” Jean slaps a hand over Scotts mouth and you laugh when Kurt tilts his head leaning over the open top of the pumpkin he sniffs deeply and wrinkles his nose, making an over exaggerated gagging sound.
He grins at you and winks; tail lashing out to shove some of the guts into Scott’s face. Jean shrieks when Scott retaliates by attempting to throw the guts back at Kurt; instead it gets caught in her hair.
“Oh fucking come on!” Peter chuckles as he dodges another sling of the guts; laughing when Jean levitates some to smack you in the face. Kurt teleports you into a tree; offering you a handful of the pumpkin innards to throw at someone. Of course your throw has to hit Logan's head.
“Shit.” You laugh as Kurt teleports you into the kitchen.
“Now what?”
“Pumpkin pie! And roasting seeds!”
“Maybe we should slow down; there’s the whole month of October to get through; Halloween is at the end right?”
“Well yeah but he needs to experience all of it!!! We haven’t even gotten to the list of scary movies yet!!!” You pout but can’t fight the smile when Kurt wraps his tail around your waist.
“And I’m dating the worlds best expert on American Halloween; I have no doubt I’ll be able to watch all of them and trick and treat with the rest of the group on the 30th.”
“31st.”
“So close.” He laughs a little and you join in after you kiss him on the cheek.

what about having a scary movie marathon with the boys (tom, haz, harry, sam, tuwaine) and getting a little too touchy with haz? and maybe the guys start teasing like the divs they are lol ily 💖
Missnxthingg’s Birthday Sleepover Party
Halloween Prompts
Pairing - Harrison Osterfield x Reader
Word Count - 1.5K
A/N: Soooo, I got a little carried away and turned this into a one-shot (probably). I was bored and I loooooved your request. So thank you and I hope you enjoy it.
main masterlist | taglist | main blog
❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁
"So, what are you guys doing for Halloween?" You were having a nice evening with the boys at the pub, and thinking that maybe you could do that again soon.
"Horror movie marathon!" Harry cheered. "Starts at sunset and goes all the way to sunrise."
"It's our little tradition." Sam added. “We dress up in Halloween themed pajamas or a comfortable costume.”
"Harry picks the movies and we all watch it together." Tuwaine explained a little bit more. “Then we sleep for the rest of November 1st because we’re tired.”
"You should come this year." Tom asked and all the boys nodded in agreement.
You really wanted to say yes. Ever since you became a part of their little group, you were comfortable and you wanted to spend some more time with them. Plus, you had a massive crush on Harrison and even though he always gives you the signal that he likes you too, you've never even kissed once.
And you really wanted to spend some time with him, because you always longed for those small moments together. But you hated scary because you were terrified of them. Although, you would never admit it to anyone.
"Oh, thank you for the offer but I don't wanna be a burden."
"Come on, it will be fun." Harrison nudged your side and smiled softly. "I would love to have you there."
All the boys smirked with your little interaction, which made you blush a little and lower your sight to your drink. You took a big gulp before replying:
"Okay, sure. It will be nice."
But if you were being honest, everything was building your nerves up since that night at the pub. Not only the fact that you were going to watch horror movies, but also the fact that you would be spending the whole night at Harrison's house. It didn't matter if a whole bunch of other people would tag along, it still felt intimate.
So you put up your best Halloween themed outfit when you dressed up with your skeleton pajama jumpsuit. You did want to feel comfortable, but you also wanted to look cool. And that was a good way to do that. When the sun was starting to set, you drove to the boy’s place and found the driveway decorated with carved pumpkins and tombstones. The boys really put some effort into the decoration.
You knocked on the door and Harrison opened it up dressed as Freddy Krueger, but with sweatpants. He was holding a bowl of candy and a weird smile on his face, which softened when he saw who it was. He thought it would be just some kids from the neighbourhood asking for candy, but it was actually you - the girl he was in love with.
“Trick or treat!” You said with an exciting smile on your face.
“Hey, (Y/N). Happy Halloween.”
“Thanks.”
“Please, come in!”
You were the last to arrive. Well, to be fair, Tom, Harrison, Harry and Tuwaine lived in that house and Sam lived just a little further down the road, so it was only fair that they arrived early. But Sam’s girlfriend was already wrapped around him as they chose the best position to cuddle into the movie, and all the boys were already groaning because the girls they invited said they would not be coming.
“Yeah, whatever. Let’s just start this thing.” Harry shrugged as he pressed play on the movie.
“Uhm, sorry. They are a bit boring today.” Harrison whispered since A Nightmare Before Christmas was already playing on the TV. “There’s no place left on the big couch, but I guess we can squeeze in the two-seat couch.”
“It’s okay for me.”
“Come on, I got us a pumpkin blanket.”
Spending time with Harrison was awesome, and this was probably the closest you’ve ever been to the boy. He made sure to share a blanket with you as you watched the first movie. He shared his popcorn and even invited you to give some candy to the kids that were knocking on the door. By now, the movie night was going pretty well because the movie wasn’t scary at all.
But the next movie on the list was The Ring and you were terrified of it. You tried to hide it from everyone, but eventually, you would wince and jump scared of what you were watching. Once you even hide your face on Harrison’s shoulder after a little scream.
“Hey, are you okay?” He whispered and you shook your head, still not looking at the TV. “Oh, you’re scared.”
“A little.” You groaned and felt the boy wrap his arms around you.
“It’s okay, I got you.” You felt comfortable and safe with him, so you melted into his hug.
“Harrison is showing off as a protective boyfriend, y’all.” Harry teased and the boys all laugh.
“What a tough boy.” Tuwaine tease. “I want a hug too, Hazzy. I’m scared.”
“Come on, just kiss already.” Tom teased and all the boys agreed.
“Hey, fuck off! She’s scared.” Harrison pressed her a little tighter on his chest and threw daggers with his eyes at the boys.
For the rest of the night, you were secured with him. The other movies weren’t so scaring with him holding you. When you were feeling afraid, you would grip on his hand tightly and he would distract you. And it was actually very comfortable. On the third movie, he spent the whole thing petting your hair and listening to some other jokes from the boys. And on the fourth movie, you lied your head on his shoulder and played with his hand.
By the time it was 4 am, you were starting to get a little sleepy. The boys were still hyped with Monster House - lighter movie after a few very scary movies - but you were definitely fancying some sleep. Also, you were a little cold, so you sneaked off to the kitchen to make yourself some tea.
“Come on, Harrison. Go kiss her!” Tom whispered once you were off and Harrison rolled his eyes.
“Just leave us alone.”
“Haz, she’s so into you. The way she looks at you…” Tuwaine said and a small smile cracked on the blonde’s face.
“And you’ve been holding each other all night.” Sam finished.
“Just go ask her to stay the night with you.” Harry finished. Harrison suddenly had a wave of confidence hitting his body and he smiled widely.
“I’ll go after her.” He whispered and the boys silently cheered.
He found you in the kitchen, pouring hot tea in a cup. You smiled warmly to see him and made sure to pour another one for him because you knew he was a sucker for tea and wouldn’t deny some. He silently thanked for the tea and sat next to you.
“Thank you for making my night a little better, Haz.” You nudged him. “I’m very scared of horror movies and I’m thankful to have someone to help me feel a little better.”
“It’s nothing. I’ll always make you feel safe if I can.” He smiled warmly back. “Uhm, I like you, (Y/N). I like you a lot. And tonight’s been pretty amazing.”
“I like you too, Hazzy. A lot.” He put a stray of your hair behind your ear and licked his lips.
“C-can I kiss you?”
“Yes.” You smiled before feeling his lips against yours.
The kiss brought a little sweetness to this scary Halloween night. You were tired, but you were willing to stay awake until the sunrise just kissing him. It didn’t last long, but it was a perfect first kiss, and you felt like it wasn’t going to be the last of the night.
“Are you tired?” He asked, very close to your lips.
“A little, but… I don’t wanna go to sleep right now.”
“We can watch the rest of Monster House cuddled up on the couch and ditch them after the movie.” He suggested. “I really would love if you spent the night. I-If that’s not too much for you.”
“Of course! I would love to cuddle and watch the rest of the movie. And I’ll actually accept staying over because there’s no way I’m sleeping alone in my apartment after The Ring.” You laughed once again and kissed one more time before going back to the living room.
The boys all cheered loudly when they saw you two come back to the living room together and holding hands. You didn’t care, deciding to only sit on Harrison’s lap and rest your head on his chest. He left many kisses across your face, and even stole some from your lips. You did steal some back and you were enjoying it a lot. The boys did tease you a little more, but you didn’t care because you had each other.
And that was definitely the best night of sleep you had in your life. Harrison made you feel safe and feel loved, so you weren’t scared at all. He would always be there to hold you whenever you need it. He is your safe haven.

Does anyone in the world remember Heroes of the Hueco Mundo Invasion – In Love!!, a short and very strange piece of fiction I wrote while high on bad antidepressants because @unohanadaydreams told me to? Anyway, I wrote another chapter. I wrote this ages ago and never posted it because I was considering cutting the joke about the bowling shirts in favor of actually having them go bowling eventually. I still haven’t decided, but the bit about the bowling shirts is too good to cut. Why did I write this??? Anyway, it is transcendentally stupid and every single line of it is extremely hilarious to me. I just made a joke about Renji playing the tambourine and remembered this existed, so here you go. Happy Saturday.
🎨 🐱 👨❤️💋👨
“Are you seeing this?” Ichigo exclaimed.
Rukia sighed, cradling her phone between her shoulder and her ear. “Yeah.”
“First of all, since when does Soul Society have YouTube?”
“I don’t know why you keep calling it that, it’s called SoulTube, and how else would we watch cat videos and skateboard tricks?”
“Since when do you have skateboards? And also, what the junk, Chad and Ishida?”
Rukia sighed as Matsumoto narrated the highlights of Chad and Uryuu’s Shinigami Women’s Association-sponsored date.
“Chad and Uryuu decided to each plan half the date to surprise the other!” Matsumoto was trilling. “Tell me, Uryuu, what did Mr. Tall, Dark and Silent have in store for you?”
“Well, the Karakura Art Museum was doing a tribute to Leonora Carrington, who is apparently one of Chad’s favorite artists. He was clearly nervous about it. I mean, her works are a little avant garde, but he said that he wanted to share something about himself and that he felt I would understand. I was honestly really touched by that. I wasn’t exactly surprised that Chad is into magical realism, we all know that 100 Years of Solitude is his favorite book.”
“Do we?” Ichigo echoed. “Do we all know that, Ishida?”
The camera panned to Chad standing in front of a large painting in which some plague doctors appeared to be spray-painting a flamingo. There was close to a minute of silence, punctuated by a bit of zooming in and out, before Chad rumbled “This one is my favorite.”
“For the second half of the date, Uryuu took a bit of a different tack!” Matsumoto explained.
Uryuu was back on camera again. “I mean, I tried to think of things Chad likes. I’m kinda boring, and I felt bad for making him do this. I know I went for the really obvious thing.”
The video switched to the interior of a kitten cafe. Chad was covered in kittens. There were two on his head, one on each shoulder, and at least seven cradled in his massive arms. His face was just one massive grin. It cut over to Uryuu, a single, tiny kitten cradled in the crook of his arm, sipping at a cup of tea, gazing at Chad mistily.
“Awwwww,” Rukia murmured. It was the sixth time she had watched this. It was the sixth time she had involuntarily murmured ‘awwwww’ at this part.
“I am so mad at him,” Ichigo grouched. “I thought Ishida would screw this up royally. I mean, we all knew Chad would do a good job, but look at this! How am I supposed to take Inoue on a date after this?! Why did I agree to this?!”
“Because you were high on painkillers,” Rukia pointed out for the sixth time, as, on her computer screen, Chad and Uryuu fed each other bites of pastry. “What are you all nervous about anyway? Orihime is the kindest person in existence and she thinks the world of you. Aside from accidentally stabbing her-- which, sometimes you do accidentally stab people, so try not to-- there’s really no way to mess this up. Besides, technically, didn’t she ask you out?”
Ichigo let out a big huff, which Rukia assumed was at her, and not at Hisagi’s surreptitious, long-range zoom shot of Uryuu and Chad having a very chaste good-night peck on the lips.
“Askin’ a girl out is very hard, Rukia, and I’ve got this opportunity, and I don’t wanna blow it! I know that Orihime will like anything, and that’s why it’s so hard to figure out the thing that will actually really make her happy!”
“You. She wants to go on a date with you, dude.”
“I mean, would she be impressed if I wore a suit? Or would I just look like a mortician? Maybe she’s into morticians. Should I ask my dad if I can borrow his leather jacket? I mean, it’s super cool, but it’s also my dad’s, so it comes with terrible vibes.”
“She will like whatever you are wearing because she likes you. She has sent me no less than 18 text messages on this topic.”
“And Nanao and Hisagi definitely do not know how human money works, they gave us way too much. Do you think I should take her someplace really upscale? I feel like that’s a dangerous move on my part.”
“You could honestly just walk around with her. She likes you disgustingly much.”
“Is there some ancient disgraced shinigami sealed in a cave we could… y’know… loosen the bindings on…? Orihime loves sealin’ up an undead evil.”
“Dude, you just said this was a big opportunity for you, and b) that’s what we’re doing next week so I can get out of my date.”
Ichigo snorted. “C’mon, you have it so easy. I wish I could go on a date with Renji.”
“Fine. Let’s swap then, and you can.”
“Nooooooooo, because then Orihime would like you better than me, I don’t want that! And besides, that’s not really what I meant.”
“What did you mean?” Rukia asked, her voice dropping down into Sode no Shirayuki territory.
“You guys go on dates all the time, even if you don’t call it that. Keigo was really confused when he found out you two weren’t married.”
“Keigo gets confused by vending machines. And I just take Renji to noble crap because Brother says he is ‘an acceptable escort’ and he’s really good at being tall and making growly faces at gross people who would otherwise be hitting on me.”
“You take him to noble stuff? I didn’t know you took him to noble stuff.”
“I mean, we go drinking, too, but everyone goes drinking, that’s not a date.”
“Sure, drinking in a large group is not a date.”
“It is also not a date to go drinking with just one other person. Sometimes you want to hear what the other person has to say, you know, or you just want to offload about your day with someone who understands you really well!”
“To be honest, Rukia, I was specifically referring to the time we went to karaoke and you two sang ‘The Chain’ by Fleetwood Mac together and maybe also the time we went bowling and you guys had matching shirts, but now that I have further information, I think he might actually be your boyfriend.”
“I sound exactly like Stevie Nicks when I sing!” Rukia protested. “And Brother bought us those shirts. He has one, too.” She sucked her teeth for a moment. “I’m pretty sure if he were my boyfriend, that would have required us to kiss at some point.”
“Oh.” There was a long silence at the other end of the line. “D’you want to? Kiss him, I mean.”
Rukia scratched her head, and backed up to the part where Chad was covered in kittens again. “I dunno. Do you want to kiss Orihime?”
“I kinda do, Rukia. Have you met her?”
“Fair. You should wear a suit and also sunglasses. Wear a tie, but loosen it a bunch and maybe halfway through the date, take it off and stick it in your pocket. Bring flowers. Lounge against a doorway and occasionally stare off into the middle distance before you say something. She’ll flip her shit. I promise.”
“Thanks, Rukia! You’re the best!”
“I’m not,” Rukia grumbled, squinting at the screen, trying to figure out who had initiated the Chad - Uryuu kiss.
“Renji’s pretty hot. I don’t judge you for wanting to kiss him.”
“I-- !” Rukia protested, then closed her mouth. “Thanks, Ichigo.”
“This could be a big opportunity for you, too, y’know.”
“Maybe,” Rukia agreed, and started typing “eye makeup tutorial not look like clown” into the SoulTube search bar.
🎶 🍨 💖
Renji frowned at the bill of damages in front of him. Apparently, Harribel was in charge of Hueco Mundo now, and she had discovered paperwork. He was supposed to confirm all of the things that he, personally, had destroyed. He didn’t think he should be charged for destroying Rudabone’s skeletons, since the guy just made more of them. Also, 73 Menos Grande seemed excessive. He wondered if Queen Harribel was trying to have one over on them.
“Lieutenant Abarai,” Captain Kuchiki intoned. “I have seen the SoulTube video.”
Renji jumped a foot in the air. “Aw, jeez, Captain, you almost gave me a heart attack!” he gasped. “The one where me and Rikichi do sweet skateboard jumps? Or the one where Hisagi sings ‘Ship to Wreck’ and I play backup on the tambourine?”
His captain glared at him. “The one where the ryouka boys go on a romantic outing."
“Oh,” Renji replied. “Captain, I know what you’re thinking.”
“Do you?” Byakuya intoned, his voice dripping with skepticism.
“And I think a cat cafe could really take off in Soul Society, it would be a great investment opportunity! You should move quick, though, while this video is still so popular.”
“What I was referring to, Abarai,” Byakuya growled, “is that you are scheduled to take my beloved sister on a similar such outing, no?”
“Oh,” Renji said again. “Yeah, I guess.”
“You guess?”
Renji hunched a little. “It’s not a big deal, sir. Hisagi’s really been blowing it all outta proportion. It’s just a cute thing for the newspaper, like the time they printed your recipe for Ambassador Seaweed taiyaki, remember that? You got dressed up in a little apron and hat and stuff and then you got all that fan mail?”
“This is not like that at all, Abarai,” Byakuya informed him. “I knew it would be thus. I shall call Lieutenant Hisagi and tell him to call this wretched exercise off immediately.”
“Uh… why, sir?” Renji asked, his eyes wide.
“You are not taking this seriously, Lieutenant. My sister is the most beautiful and charming woman in Soul Society, and I will not have her affections treated as a publicity stunt.”
“You underestimate me, sir!” Renji barked. “No one has more respect and sincere affection for your sister than me! I swear on my sword, I will show her A Real Good Time!”
Byakuya scrutinized his lieutenant. “You will select an activity that will be both surprising, yet enjoyable to her?”
“Yes, sir!”
“You will compliment her clothes and hairstyle, even if she insists on wearing those horrific Living World combat boots she owns?”
“For sure, sir!” Renji replied. He was a great fan of the combat boots.
“You will return her home by 9pm?”
“That’s a little early, sir, and also, there’s a nonlinear time gap between…”
Byakuya narrowed his eyes. Renji’s numerous Senbonzakura scars were starting to itch.
“No later than 8:45, sir.”
Byakuya nodded. “I am going to trust you on this, Lieutenant, but I shall be waiting up with ice cream and hot fudge, should you disappoint my sister.”
“I thought you didn’t like sweet things,” Renji frowned.
“I make allowances where my sister’s heart is at stake.”
“Well, I’m gonna do my best, sir, and I know her pretty well, so I don’t think you’ll need it.” It occurred to Renji that over the years, Byakuya had turned out to be a pretty decent brother, after all, but he didn’t think it would be particularly helpful to point that out. “Uh, sir?”
“Yes, Abarai?”
“You got any policies on good-night kisses?”
“If I am shown a particularly nice time, I allow myself to be kissed at the end of a date.”
Renji blinked. “I meant, uh, vis-a-vis Rukia.”
“Ah.” Byakuya contemplated this for a moment. “Obviously, your own preferences carry some weight, but my sister is quite a catch. If Rukia wishes to kiss you, I think you should let her.”
Renji nodded curtly. “Will do, sir!”

Character Creation: Ann
(I may do one for Zane-2 and Sora if I have the time)
Guardians name: Angelica Arden
Age: When she died in her past life she was only 17. She has been a Guardian for 1 year.
Race: Human
Pronouns: She/her
Class: Hunter
Preferred subclass(es): Arcstrider and also Stasis
Ghost's name: Poppy
Do they prefer being close, mid, or long range: It doesn’t matter to her, though she’s really good at long range.
Do they lean more "Element of Surprise" or "Upfront and Aggressive": She likes “Element of Surprise” more.
Strikes, Gambit, or Crucible: Crucible.
Who was their mentor(if they had one. If it is a character you created, tell us about them!): Thera, the Young Wolf, Hero of the Red War, and more.
Favorite shader: Anything with bright colors. Especially light blues.
Favorite color: Blue, light blue specifically.
Favorite food: Pizza
Favorite Pre-Collapse music(if they've heard any): Like Thera, she enjoys classic rock and oldies music. But she also likes our modern day pop music some too.
Favorite place in The Last City(if it's a place you created, give a little description!): The place where the children play. She goes out there with Shaxx every week on Wednesdays to hang out with them.
Favorite NPC(s): Crow, Shaxx, Saint-14, Shaw Han, Amanda
Favorite patrol location: Anywhere on Nessus
5 things your Guardian likes(can be anything): Art, spicy foods, ship racing, music, and movies like Footloose.
Least favorite food: Potatoes
Least favorite NPC(s): Spider
5 things your Guardian dislikes(this can be anything): Paperwork, being alone for too long, staying in the Tower for too long and not going anywhere for more than a day, drawing hands, and trying to get the eyes to line up on her art.
Your Guardian has to rest. What is their living space like: Ann’s room is cluttered. There’s a lot of sketchbook and pens, pencils, and more everywhere. It’s a lot smaller than Thera’s room, and the bathroom is really small too. She has a small shelf that hangs on the wall where she keeps a few interesting romance books that she likes, and sketchbooks. She also has a decent sized desk, and a easel with canvases in one side of the room.
Does your Guardian have any casual wear?(Y'all remember Polyvore? The website URSTYLE works very similar if that helps!): When Ann isn’t going out, she likes to wear a hoodie and sweatpants, but when she goes out, she’ll wear a tanktop or t-shirt, with comfy pants and tennis shoes.
What hobbies and/or skills does you Guardian have: Angelica’s really good at any kind of art. Painting, pencil, you name it, she can do it.
What would your Guardian's lore book be called: The Wolf’s Apprentice
Where was your Guardian reborn?(If you created the location, give us a little description!): Like Thera, she was reborn in the Cosmodrome. Her body, a skeleton, had been in the back of one of the many rusted cars.
What were they wearing when they were reborn: A tight tank top, light blue colored jeans, and tennis shoes.
What was their reaction to being reborn: She had stopped and instead of going into the Cosmodrome, she turned and looked out over the nearby cliff, enjoying being alive again in that very moment.
What was their reaction to their first rez: Ann found it really weird but also really cool, besides the slight nausea.
After being reborn, did they meet friendlies first or hostiles: She met hostiles first. Fallen.
Who was the first other Guardian they met?(Same thing! If you made them, give a little description!): Shaw Han.
Did your Guardian get reborn with, or find, any indication of their past life? If so what do they have/found: She, like Thera, also remembered only her name. But a good number of weeks after she had been a Guardian for a while, she got a dream about the car she was rezzed in. She believed that there would be hints of her past life in the car, that she hadn’t thought to look for after she had just been rezzed. Ann told Thera, and the two headed there. She found a shoebox under the car seat which had her full name. Angelica Arden, written on the top. Also, inside she found bits and pieces of who she used to be, including a photo of her parents.
Going back to your Guardian's lore book, what would be some some quotes or passages from their book: Ann would constantly be referencing the fact that Thera, the Young Wolf, was her best friend. Honestly, the lore book would probably be filled with a bunch of adventures Thera and Ann have had.
Does your Guardian have a significant other: No, but it is evident that she likes Shaw Han, and that he likes her.
Did your Guardian go explore first before going to The Last City? If so, where to: She was actually the Guardian who helped out Shaw Han and killed Navota, which is why the two are so close. I decided that it wouldn’t make sense for Thera to be the one to do that deed, since it didn’t really fit, but that it instead made sense for Ann to be the one to kill Navota.
What was their reaction to first seeing The Last City: Ann was shy upon reaching there, but wanted to see everything. She was really excited. It was then she met Thera, since her Ghost, Poppy was friends with Thera’s Ghost, Scout. Poppy had gone and found the two, and Thera offered to help show Ann around.
Is your Guardian a part of a clan: No.
If your Guardian would have a quote as a flavor text for a weapon and/or piece of armor, what would they be: “Listen, as Thera once said, ‘Jump around, shoot, and don’t die. Those are the basics.’.”
If your Guardian has had any interactions with any civilians (The Last City/The Farm), Eliksni, Cabal, Vex, Hive, Taken, Scorn, Rouge Lightbearers, or Iron Lords/War Lords(if your Guardian is an Old Light) tell us about it!: Ann doesn’t have many friends who aren’t Guardians, so there really isn’t too much to tell. But there was one Rouge lightbearer who I forgot to mention in Thera’s character creation. She went by Rouge, and refused to show her face or tell her real name. Thera had taken Ann with her to meet Rouge, and Rouge had asked Ann a number of questions to see if she could trust her.
Does your Guardian have any unconventional allies or connections(By Vanguard standards): Besides the Rouge, that’s about it. And I suppose the Drifter.
How does your Guardian feel about themselves or others using Stasis: Ann finds Stasis fun to play with, but listens to Thera’s warnings that she shouldn’t use it all the time. (She knows how to make snowcones with it.)
Where did they go and what did they do during The Red War: She wasn’t alive when the Red War happened.
Here are some characters that are either polarizing or have created a strong enough mass emotion within the community. What opinion does your Guardian hold on each of them(These are only a handful of characters!)>>>
Osiris, First Warlock Vanguard, originally exiled: She thinks he’s filled with wisdom and likes listening to what he has to say.
Eris Morn, Bane of the Swarm: Eris actually kind of spooks Ann. She’s just intimidating.
Cayde-6, Sixth Hunter Vanguard: Never got a chance to meet him, but has heard great things about him.
Ikora Rey, Second Warlock Vanguard: Ann also looks up to Ikora, and when Thera doesn’t have the answer, she’ll go to Ikora next.
Commander Zavala, Second Titan Vanguard: Ann tries to do nice things for Zavala here and there because she knows he’s under a lot of stress. She greatly respects him.
Saint-14, legendary Titan, First Titan Vanguard: When Ann doesn’t have anything else to do, she’ll go to the Hangar and talk with him while feeding the pigeons.
Lord Saladin, Iron Banner handler, One of the last remaining Iron Lords: She treats him with respect, but doesn’t understand him. He’s also slightly intimidating to her.
Lord Shaxx, Crucible handler, Hero of Twilight Gap, living megaphone: He’s a good friend of hers, and she will occasionally go to talk with him when Thera isn’t around. Sometimes she’ll even help him be an announcer in the Crucible.
The Crow, New Light, Ex-Enforcer to The Spider: She likes him and is good friends with him. She’s one of only two that know he’s Thera’s boyfriend, and will constantly go to tell him what she thinks he should do for a date, or how Thera’s feeling, or what he should buy her for a gift.
The Spider, The Shore's Only Law, founder of "House" Spider: She hates him because of what he did to Crow and Glint.
The Exo Stranger/Elizabeth "Elsie" Bray, Granddaughter of Clovis I and Sister to Ana Bray: She sees her as someone she should greatly respect.
Empress Caiatl of the Cabal Imperial Empire: Angelica is deathly terrified of her.
And finally, does your Guardian have any advice for any New Lights: “Hey, I know Thera looks intimidating, but don’t be afraid to ask her anything or go up and talk to her. She really doesn’t mind.”

i was tagged by @punkenglishnerd - thank you very much, and i’m sorry for being so late!!!
🎃 Pumpkin: Favourite season? spring, because it’s my birthday... and usually the first days of spring are rainy, but then it’s sunny and not very hot yet, so i can dress in layers but i can still bask in the sunshine. i really like autumn too, because while at first it’s too hot to do anything, when it starts to cool down it’s a delight
👻 Ghost: Do you get scared easily? it really depends... for some reason gore doesn’t faze me much, and i’ve become kind of desensitized to a lot of typical horror stuff. but i’m terrified of r*pe scenes, they leave me very nervous and in general a lot of realistic horror, like abuse, torture and the like, gets me very anxious and stressed... i don’t know if i’d call that fear exactly, but if it does, then yeah, i’m a scaredy cat :^/
🎃 Candy Corn: What’s your favourite kind of candy? dark chocolate!! i love really bitter chocolate, or chocolate covered peanuts -that’s what i used to ask for when i went out with my family to the cinema
👻 Vampire: What is your favourite supernatural creature? any sort of manmade creature!!! i really like automata, frankenstein monsters, golems, creepy dolls... but i also love the concept and the symbolism of ghosts and haunted houses......
🎃 Witch: If you could have any superpower, what would it be? i really don’t know... there’s so much i’d like to do... i’d love to be able to speak any language, but i think it’s not really a superpower? since this is halloween themed, i’d have to say telekinesis (matilda was one of my favorite childhood books) and being able to shrink. i’d love to be small as a mouse and wander around the house
👻 Trick or treat: What was your favourite Halloween costume? i dressed as a witch several times!! we don’t celebrate halloween here in argentina, but still there were some birthdays or club parties which were kind of a replacement halloween celebration?? once i went as candy-skull-frida kahlo, and i still think that was my most complex costume... but i really loved dressing up as a witch when i was little, with my green and black striped socks and my witch hat and my long sleeved black top >:^)
🎃 Black cat: Are you superstitious? nah
👻 Ouija Board: If you could change your name, what would you change it to? i used to hate my name casandra, because everyone was called camila or martina or daniela or more “normal” names, and i thought mine was weird... but i still wanted to stand out, so i pretended my second name was miranda, for some reason?? and for some time i was convinced i should change my name to miranda. but after a few years ive grown to like my name, even if i think it does sound kinda pretentious (my parents gave it to me, so its not my fault!!). i’ve also grown to like the other name they would have given me, bruna, which at first i hated but now i kinda love?? maybe i’d change it to that. but i like my name, currently
🎃 Graveyard: Do you know any good scary stories? hmmm the only one that’s like, a scary story, is one i was obsessed with, that was in a book at my school library -i think it’s pretty well known -about the girl with the green ribbon tied around her neck, who has a boyfriend that asks her why she wears it, and she doesn’t say, until she’s in her deathbed and she tells him he can take her ribbon off and he does and the girl’s head falls off. that story lived in my head 24/7, along with actual short stories like the black cat, the telltale heart, the oval portrait, the masque of the red death... i considered metamorphosis by franz kafka a horror story, too, so i guess i’ll add it here. oh, i know!!!!!! one that i think a lot of people don’t know about. the feather pillow, by horacio quiroga. a young couple move to the countryside, and while the husband is away at work, the woman stay at home all the time. the woman falls ill, and the doctor tells her to stay in bed and rest. she gets worse and worse, and withers away. her husband worries but doesn’t know what is going on. the woman finally dies, and when the maid is about to clean the sheets, she notices that the pillow is extremely heavy. and then -she and the husband and the doctor realize -there was a tick, a blood-sucking bug inside the pillow, a typical goose tick that, when given time, can drain a whole person of all their blood it’s better the way the author wrote it, i think i’m selling it short
👻 Skeleton: Have you ever broken a bone? no, i never did anything that could lead to that {:^) when i was younger i climbed trees and played in parks and stuff, but i never played any sports that could make me break a bone... i did break my knee or something?? i can’t remember, but my knee was sort of displaced during a school camping trip in which i got out of the shower and slipped badly
🎃 Werewolf: What is your favourite urban legend? oooooo there’s a bunch from the local high-class cemetery, the Recoleta Cemetery (though i can’t remember any of them very well), where there’s a lot of great urban legends, most of them from the nineteenth or early twentieth century, like one of two star crossed lovers -a young woman who fell for a french soldier visiting argentina -and when he died in the battlefield, she died as well and haunts her grave ever since... or, well, the famous ones like whatever happened to evita’s corpse, which is kind of squicky but still sort of morbidly fascinating??
👻 Horror flick: Do you like scary movies? Boy Do I. i love frankenstein (1931), crimson peak (2015), corpse bride (2005), blood tea and red string (2006), cat people (1942), abominable dr phibes (1970), gaslight (1944), institute benjamenta (1995), little otik (2000), little shop of horrors (1986), picnic at hanging rock (1975), carrie (2013), a girl walks home alone at night (2014), the magic toyshop (1987), faust (1926), mildred pierce (1945), the devil’s backbone (2001), sleepy hollow (1999), the raven (1963), the fly (1958), cronos (1993), the man who laughs (1928), the babadook (2014), whatever happened to baby jane (1962), the cabinet of dr caligari (1920), aaaaand.... the night of the hunter (1955)
🎃 Haunted house: Would you prefer to live in the city or the country? city all the way. i need cinemas, and libraries, and theaters!!!!
👻 Zombie: Do you think that you could survive a zombie apocalypse? oh, no... i’d probably try to kill myself so i can keep myself from being bitten and hurting other people
🎃 Cauldron: What kind of potion would you make if you had the opportunity? some sort of health potion? i wish people didn’t die of perfectly preventable or curable diseases...
👻 Full moon: Do you prefer nighttime or daytime? daytime, particularly the afternoon
🎃 Corn maze: What is your favourite autumn activity? eating, basically; last autumn i spent it baking, i think. i can’t remember, by this point... we don’t have any particular “autumn traditions”, i think...
👻 Broomstick: What exciting places have you travelled to? i really enjoyed istanbul, with all the cats and the beautiful architecture, i’d like to go back ;_; but i also loved prague a lot, we went in winter and it was all snowy and lit at night and it was such a beautiful place... portugal was a surprise, i liked it a lot more than i expected!!! i miss edinburgh a lot, too, even if it’s a bit too stuffy for me, i still liked it.... and berlin, i think i was in berlin for too short a time. i loved the cinema museum so much, and everyone was so nice, and the city has so much fascinating history... and i also miss athens -again, i was surprised, and i spent very little time there, but everything, the ruins, the modern city, the people, everything was gorgeous and wonderful... and dublin!!!!! dublin was amazing!! i’ve travelled a lot. i want to keep travelling. this year my family and i were supposed to go to russia, and i’m still kinda eager to go.
thank you so much for tagging me!!!!!! and sorry again for taking so long... i’m tagging (only if you want to do it!) @saumenschliesel, @flowerb-0y, @jacobaco, @majorabbey, @thatqueerweirdo, @sbongebob, @buffoello, and whoever else would like to do it!! i really enjoyed answering these asks :^)

hey zoe, i dont have any close female friends so id really appreciate the advice if you had any! my boyfriend has had a way more colorful sex life than me - hes done a lot of casual dating and hookups whereas ive only been in a few long term relationships. its hard for me to come to terms with. do you have any tips on how i can overcome this (and have you experienced something similar)? thanks so much if you do answer :)
Everyone is allowed to have a colourful past; we all have skeletons in our closet, whatever they may be. However, if I were you, I’d make note of how long this was happening for, his age, his attitude towards your relationship, etc.
Was he a dumb teenager and hooked up with a bunch of people? Or is he a grown man in his 30s who continued to casually date till he met you? Maybe he’s in his 20s and he wasn't sure of what he wanted, hence tried dating multiple people. Figure out what it is and then evaluate the situation.
Also, some things to consider are questions like are you his first serious relationship? How long have you been together? How does he treat you? Does he express how much he enjoyed said casual hookups and kind of reminisces about them or does he say it’s all in the past and hardly brings it up?
If I were you and I were incredibly uncomfortable with this situation, I’d honestly take a break, explore my own options, and then possibly come back to that relationship provided I still want to. If you aren’t comfortable with doing that, just have a conversation with your boyfriend and be honest about your feelings and see how it goes.
It all boils down to whether you trust him or not at the end of the day. If the trust isn’t there, you may want to reassess your relationship/work on your insecurities (if this is coming from you and not him). Good luck and hope I helped! 💕

My thoughts on the Rise of Skywalker, because quarantine forced me to finally watch it. !!!!Spoilers!!!!!
Growing up, Star Wars was my childhood. My sisters and I read all the books (including the comics) and we packed the Essential Guides with us everywhere. Because for our deep love of the Extended universe, when the last few movies came out we had... mixed emotions. I didn’t even see the last movie when it came out after hearing some less than stellar reviews. So here’s my review, or rather my reactions to the Rise of Skywalker. (Yes, I actually sat down with paper and pen and watched this movie.) Title craw: The DIABOLICAL First Order.
‘The Emperor has returned.’ Wow, the are expecting us to go along with a lot aren’t they.
Cool. Kylo wrecking everything.
Yay, a planet that isn’t snow, desert, or forest. Hold on tight kids, they’re throwing us right into this one. We’re already at Palpatine’s house. Ew. Whats with the tank?
Whoa eyes! What’s up with his lips? Can someone bring this fossil a drink?
Imperial March playing while a Star Destroyer rises in the back ground. Is this Vader’s old ship? Rey is “Not who we thought she is.” Thought she was “Nothing”?
Ew, what is Klaud, and why is he here?
Who are all these people on the Falcon? “How do we thank you?” “Win the war.” aren’t you all on the same team? Why do you need to thank him? Cool, another planet thats not snow, desert, or a forest. Never mind.
Oh great, Rey’s here. Looks like the Lightsaber is fixed. I know the names of a bunch of these plants! When Luke was training with the ball thing (Training remote) he was just trying to deflect the shots. Rey’s trying to take down the whole forest.
You sure you want to destroy that thing Rey? There can’t be to many of them laying around Who are all these people? Why’s the Falcon on FIRE?! Since when is “Light-speed skip” a thing? Seriously. Who are all these people? I thought after the last movie there was only like, 10 of them left. Hey! It’s Merry from Lord of the Rings!
What’s this old orange doing here?
“Sith Way-finder” Sigh. Are Poe and Rey a “thing”? Are Finn and Rey a “thing”? Why’s everyone here but R2? There he is. Why did they not bring him?!
Now I’m watching a Planet of the Apes crossover.
That guy who was on the same team is dead now. His blood is clear so the rating doesn't go up. Well, Hux is certainly different.
Someone must have taken his hair gel because his hair was never this poofy before. Is this a Holi Festival, or Burning man.
Why are we learning the name of this random kid? Rey just walked away from her, what was that? Yay! The force link is still there!
Kylo is giving off stalker vibes. It’s nice to see him growing into his role of Supreme Leader. Looks like everyone hates him. Wait- Who is this guy?! Why are they following a stranger!
It’s LANDO Oh, so Rey know’s who Lando is, but thought Luke was a myth. Makes sense. Boom. First order is here.
Lando: “My flying days are over.” Why? “Give Leia my love.” Ew. Wait, why is Lando out here? Did Luke just leave him? He said he came here with him. Has the emotional issues of being abandoned by Luke led him to never fly again? Is this a parallel story to Rey’s abandonment? What’s the motive here movie! They made it even harder for these Storm Troopers to see out of those helmets.
3PO is getting a lot of lines. Rey *is distracted* Ship *Blows up* Now they have sinking sand. WAS THAT ALMOST A CONFESSION?! This guy just says, “The Falcon is not responding.” when asked, and they’re like “Don’t be such a downer!” Oh yay, they survived. Kay, we’re just brushing over Finn’s almost confession. I’m sure they’ll come back to that later. *Cough* Okay, that flashlight bit was funny.
How do you know that’s the guy you’re looking for? That could be anybody’s skeleton! How’d they find a knife that neither Luke, or Lando (who might have been here for 20 years) could find! Rey’s making friend’s with the basilisk.
She just transferred some of her life force to the snake! Why!? This old ship they found in the desert still works. “Chewie, tell Rey we got to go!” Why can’t you do it? You’re not doing anything. Axe. Here comes lover boy. How to Breathe, the movie, by Rey.
Trailer shot.
Was he just gonna run her over?
Cool, she’s pulling the ship out of the sky. Uh oh, helmet’s off, there goes her focus.
Now they’re playing tug-a-war with the ship. It’s the light saber fight all over again. Whoa!!! She juST LIGHTING’D THE SHIP! Kylo Looked freaked out for a second! She just told Finn she had a vision of her and Kylo together, and he looks like he’s gonna cry. 3PO tells them how horrible and dangerous it is to override a droid’s programming. “Let’s do that!” That droid looks like a yoga wheel and a hairdryer.
Rey to the new droid: “Someone treated him badly. It’s alright, you’re with us now.” Yeah, just don’t watch what we’re about to do to this other droid.
Looks like we’re adding another girl to this love triangle (hexagon?) She’s not supposed to be a Mandalorian is she. (So help me-) I hate you and I’m going to turn you in *Hit’s her over the head and pulls out a lightsaber* Okay, lets go.
Why they so mad at Poe for being a smuggler? Wow. They are forcing C-3PO to do this. Backup his memory to the hairdryer! It’s got to have a reason for being here! C-3PO “Oh! I just had an idea of something else we could try-” ZAP! ...Was that supposed to be funny? These writers need to learn what humor is, and when to use it. Why are we focusing on Poe and his old girlfriend the Power Ranger? Wah! What’s up with 3PO’s eye’s? Is he a Sith droid now? Why does he have that function?!
Rey, you’re boyfriend’s here. They wiped 3PO’s memory and he doesn’t know who anyone is, but he’s still polite. Poe angrily points “That’s gonna be a problem!” Our heroes ladies and gentleman. I hope the First Order just blast them. That Admiral’s badge just let them in? Like no one reported that missing?? Wiped 3PO’s memory and they’re getting the dagger anyway. Worst rescue ever.
Vaders Helmet has had a hard life. Rey has a vision in every scene she's in.
More ‘Rey’s family history’ with Kylo “Tell me where you are,” She’s in your room dude.
R.IP. Vader Helmet
That Stormtrooper behind Kylo must be so confused. *Sees helmet, breaks link* “She’s in my quarters!” Told you so. Why is Hux the spy? When did this happen? What does he think the outcome of this will be?
3PO just wandering the halls with a crossbow.
“You are a Palpatine.” Wanna be a Solo? Is this like his fourth proposal? OooooOOOOooo, that was cool! Kylo standing in the blast of the Falcon’s engines was a moment we needed!
Yikes! They took out Hux fast! They didn’t want to question him or anything? No?
The Death Star was blasted to smithereens, why is it here? How is it here?
They made that dagger to line up with the wreckage? I’m pretty sure things that are constantly beat by the ocean will move or erode over time. Who even made that? What was the purpose?!
Yay, another scavenger Who’s also a ex-Stormtrooper, because why not.
That’s a horse covered in a rug. Rey’s out trying to kill herself again.
“There’s another Skimmer!” Wonder who that is. He is literally following her to the ends of the galaxy.
Wait- The throne rooms still in one piece?! The chair and everything?!!! Dark Rey- YIKES! TEETH
I thought he stopped the holocron with his foot, I was really surprised when fingers formed and he picked it up.
Kylo acting so cool as she’s trying to slash him to ribbons. I see Merry again! Wait- What’s Leia got to do? And why does Maz know? They’ve never explained what this strange orange is and what she can do.
Finn’s in deep- Wait how'd he get out here?????
Leia don’t distract your son while he’s fighting for his life!
SEE!!!!!!!
“I wanted to take your hand. Ben’s hand.” You think he’s going to leave you alone after that?
Why is Rey just a total mess in every movie.
Chewie mourning Leia is a good touch. It’s nice to see the reaction of someone who ACTUALLY knew her. Whoa! They got Harrison Ford to come back! That must have taken a lot of bribery (or blackmail).
Has almost dying given Kylo/Ben the power to see non-Force user ghost, or is he just going nuts? So this is just a rehash of Han’s death scene.
Aw, he called him Dad- Hey don’t throw that away, you need that!
He’s nuts. Those red helmets look stupid. Aaaaand it’s the Death Star again Merry in the background! Why’d they make Poe the General? Lando finally got off that planet
“General.” “General.” She’s burning his ship. Good luck Kylo/Ben.
You know how hot that fire has got to be to burn metal “A Jedi weapon should be treated with more respect.” You brat.
Why did he have Leia’s lightsaber here? “...it would be picked up again, by someone who would finish her journey.” Oooookay, but why not just have her take Luke’s old Saber? It’s gotta be laying around here somewhere.
I know it’s symbolic and all that he’s raising the x-wing, but there’s no way that thing still works.
Alright, 3PO’s memories are back. Why’d we have to go through all that? I spy Merry again! How does Poe know all this stuff about Exogol? He’s just a fountain of information over here!
“Now we take the war to them!” That’s literally what you’ve done every movie ever No one is questioning how Lando got here. Isn’t this a secret base? *Dr. Evil voice* ONE MILLION STAR DESTROYERS
Who even wrote this story line? Finn’s going with his gut and everyones just going along with it. Not like you could all die or anything. They brought the rug horses with them
How are they breathing in space!? Those red troopers still look stupid.
What’s this crowd chanting? Are they speaking Parseltoungue? “I never wanted you dead.” That’s why I told Kylo Ren to kill you.
Hang on- his plan is ‘You be the empress, and I’ll just possess you. Grandaughter.’ EW. Why would she want that? How is that a tempting offer? Someone’s gone senile. Direct quote: “I got to go do something!” “I’m coming with you!” Why do these people get attached so quickly?!
“Luke was saved by his father. The only family you have here is me.” Yeah, but I got a boyfriend who follows me everywhere!
Ben runs and jumps: “Ow.” We finally get to see the Knight’s of Ren in action! (Where have they been this whole time?) “Once you kill me I shall become apart of you!” So she could just, not kill him. Right? Oh yeah, here we go, now we got a showdown!
Well, that was anticlimactic
WHAT IS HAPPENING Poe just realized he's the worst General ever.
YO. Don’t tell your troops there is no hope! What is wrong with you??? Why isn't Lando the General? He is a lot more qualified!!!
Wait a minute!! Where were all these people when LEIA ORGANA called for help????
Wedge Antilles!!!!!! So all the life force sucking was just so Palpatine could up grade his outfit? *Flings Ben into a pit* Palpatine is so done with the Skywalkers Hey, I know these voices!!!! Aaaaand now he wants to kill her. So whats our big moment? TWO lightsabers!
Why did the make that the big epic moment? Why didn’t they have Ben run over and they do it together- It would have been perfect for his story arch! Rey: “And we” Together: “are all the Jedi!” Now she's dying. Why? Not even the writers know So Finn’s Force sensitive. Cool I guess? This is a really touching moment for them, even more so if they did anything other than fight this entire movie!
This kinda feels out of nowhere
I’M SO MAD RIGHT NOW
NOW SHE’S SMILING AND FINE. HE JUST DIED Merry’s here again and I can’t even be happy about it Now Finn has to chose between Rose and the new girl Poe’s trying to start something with his Power Ranger old flame, and she's like “Not a chance.” Now everything’s all happy like BEN DIDN’T JUST DIE. ARE WE NOT GOING TO ADDRESS THIS?????????? Oh hey, it’s the Lars farm. Nobody else moved in after all these years? Now she's burying the Skywalker lightsabers in the place they all hated.

Thomas’ Spooky Halloween-y Date
It’s Halloween, and as I promised, here’s the Halloween one-off special Sanders Sides story I promised two weeks ago. It is out of the main narrative of the Aspects & Fanfics story, and it’s also formatted in regular prose instead of the habitual script format the main story follows. Before you read it, know that the plot is set two months after the latest Sanders Asides, “Flirting with Social Anxiety”, so if you haven’t watched it yet, don’t read any further until you watch it or you’ll get spoilered right from the first line. But it’s been more than two weeks, so I won’t be marking it as spoilers anymore. I hope you enjoy this spooky but romantic story and I’ll see you in two weeks, back to the regular posting schedule with the main story. Happy Halloween!
WARNINGS: It’s a romantic story featuring moments of drama and death mentions. It’s impossible to avoid them if we set the story on Halloween, though, and expect also mentions to ghosts and spooky creatures.
Thomas parked the car in front of Nico’s door. There were children everywhere, going from door to door with their trick-or-treat. He always loved that day of the year, ever since he was a child. He would always enjoy that day no matter what, but this year, it was his first Halloween since he started dating Nico, and the first Halloween he wouldn’t spend single since he had forgotten how long. He knew this year would be special. When Nico phoned him to come along for Halloween, he wouldn’t even hesitate. He always enjoyed his company and spending Halloween with him couldn’t be a better plan.
“I wonder if he’s prepared something for Halloween.” Thomas thought to himself “Nico is the most romantic guy I have ever met in my life and I’m sure he’s gonna make this day spookily fantastic. He loves Nightmare before Christmas, I’m sure he enjoys Halloween just as much as I do.”
“Of course he does, Thomas!” Roman said from the backseat.
“Oh, Roman, you startled me!”
“Sorry. But what are you waiting for inside your carriage, Thomas? Go to his door already and knock! Don’t keep him waiting!”
“Easy, Roman.” Virgil said, appearing next to him. “First, Thomas must check that he’s looking his best. You don’t want Linda to ruin his appearance in front of Nico, do you?”
“I checked myself already, Virgil. I combed my hair carefully and used gel so that Linda doesn’t visit us tonight. Wow, I made Linda sound as if she was the Oogie-Boogie Man.”
“She can be more terrifying, Thomas, especially in romantic occasions.” Virgil said “Are you sure you look okay? Check yourself again in the mirror.”
Thomas sighed and looked at himself in the driving mirror. There was no sign of cowlicks. At Roman’s suggestion, with the telephonic guidance and advice of Talyn, he had put a little dash of natural-looking makeup on his cheeks, and his face looked brighter and healthier than ever, with no visible trace of the ugly green pimple in the middle of the forehead he had woken up with that morning. Nope, he was looking his best and there was nothing to be worried about. Nico already liked is regular appearance, and tonight he was going to fall in love with him again.
“I look fine, Virge, please settle down, at least for tonight. I wanna have a calm and lovely Halloween date with Nico and I want everything to be perfect. Please, I beg you, grant me that wish, at least for tonight.”
“Okay, Thomas, I’ll try. You know I don’t work like that, but I’ll try for you.”
“Thanks, emo friend.” Thomas said, smiling at Virgil through the mirror. “Okay, my face and hair look fine, I just put on my best perfume, and I brought a little bag of Halloween candy that doesn’t include candy corn. What could go wrong?”
Thomas got out of the car and walked to the door. He rang the bell and waited there. He couldn’t help smiling when he noticed a bunch of creepy pumpkins next to the front window, full of cobwebs.
“He truly lives Halloween just as passionately as I do.” he thought “If soulmates do exist, I think he could be my own soulmate, or at least the closest to a soulmate I could ever get. We’ve been dating only for a couple of months and I’m feeling closer and closer to him each and everyday. I… I love him.”
The door opening interrupted his train of thought. Nico appeared there, with a skeleton makeup and a tattered black suit full of dust. The gloomy makeup couldn’t conceal the brightness of his smile. Thomas smiled back.
“Uh… trick or treat?” Thomas said, handing the bag of candy. “You should have warned me to come in a costume.”
“It’s okay,” Nico said “I wouldn’t have wanted you to come any other way. You look gorgeous as usual.”
Thomas smiled bashfully. He had forgotten the feeling of his appearance being complimented on a regular basis and Nico always knew how to boost his moral and make him feel like the handsomest man in the world. Since he had met him, he had started to forget the feeling of doubting his self worth. Nico always reminded him of how important he was, how much worthy of love he was and how much his presence in the world mattered, no matter what, and that’s what he loved the most about his boyfriend: that first and foremost, Nico reminded Thomas of all the reasons he had to love himself on a regular basis and pushed him to love himself above all else. Thomas felt really lucky to have met him at the mall. It was a chance in a million and Lady Luck, for once, had been generous with him.
“Thank you, I guess. You’re gonna make me blush.”
“I’m only saying the truth, Thomas. But don’t stay there, come in… if you dare…” he ended this phrase with a creepy voice and an over the top spooky laugh that made Thomas chortle.
“Of course…” Thomas said entering the house. “Did you have any plans for tonight?”
“First and foremost, dinner will be ready in no time. I made pizza rolls. Didn’t buy them, I made them from scratch. They’re in the oven right now.
“Homemade pizza rolls? That sounds delicious!”
“I know they’re your favorite food and since you’re now following healthy habits and you don’t eat them as often anymore, I wanted to make them just for you, for this special occasion. I just hope I haven’t messed up with the recipe and that I don’t end up burning them.”
“Gosh, Nico. You’re always thinking on me and on what’s best for me. I really feel so lucky to have you in my life.”
“I am the lucky one, Thomas. Your sunshiny disposition always makes my day a thousand times brighter. Of course I want you to have the best of the best, because you’re the best of the best for me.”
“I love you, so much.”
“Not as much as I love you.”
“Is this a competition about who loves who more? Because I intend to win it.”
“I won’t make it easy for you, honey.”
Nico kissed Thomas. Then they stared at each other for a couple of seconds, as if the world had stopped around them. Roman and Virgil, a couple of steps afar, watched the scene. Roman was crying out of emotion. Virgil’s eyeshadow couldn’t be shinier in purple.
“Gosh. Could he be any cuter?” Roman said, squealing.
“I really think Thomas’ life has only got better and better since we met him. I wonder if there’s a top for this turmoil of excitement he makes me feel every time Thomas is with him.”
“Glad to have you aboard the romance train, Virge. This wouldn’t have been possible if it wasn’t for you, so thank you.”
“You’re welcome, Roman. I don’t regret that push at all, and…” suddenly Virgil became really serious and his eyeshadow suddenly turned black. “Wait, wait a second… What’s that?”
“What’s what?” Roman inquired.
“Don’t you sense that smell?” suddenly panicking “Something’s burning! Quickly, set the alarms! Everybody save yourselves! Thomas!”
Thomas’ suddenly perceived the smell too.
“Nico, something’s burning!”
“Oh, no!” Nico said, scared, running to the kitchen.
Thomas followed him. There was black smoke coming out of the oven. Nico quickly tried to open the oven, but in the rush, he forgot to wear a glove and burned his hand.
“Ouch, my hand!” he yelled, in pain.
“Be careful!” Thomas said, grabbing the glove on the counter next to the oven. Then he opened the oven and took the tray out. All the pizza rolls were completely charred and black. He left the tray in a safe place on the counter, coughing a little bit out of the smoke. Then he opened the window to let the smoke out and turned the oven temperature off.
“Aw, my hand…” Nico said, grimacing in pain. “This looks like a bad burn.”
“Let me see” Thomas said. There were blisters on Nico’s palm. “This doesn’t look good. Put your hand under the running tap. Cold water may be helpful to relieve the pain.”
Thomas opened the tap and Nico put his hand under the water stream.
“I’m so sorry, Thomas.” Nico said with a sad face, also grimacing in pain at times “I think I lost notion of time and I messed everything up…”
“It’s okay, Nico. It was an accident, and the most important thing for me is that you’re okay.”
After a couple of minutes, Thomas turned the water off and dried Nico’s hand carefully, then they both went to the living room. Logan appeared next to the couple and examined the wound.
“The burn doesn’t look bad enough to call 911, but it’ll need a little bit of care. Has Nico got some bandages?”
“Have you?” Thomas asked.
“Have I what?” Nico said, confused.
Thomas remembered that Nico couldn’t hear or see Logan as he was in his imagination.
“Oh, sorry, I was thinking to myself and forgot to speak aloud. I meant if you have some bandages.”
“Oh… Yes, in the medical kit, on that closet under the stairs.”
“Okay, you sit down at the table and I’ll go fetch the medical kit.”
“Do you have medical knowledge, Thomas?”
“Only the basics, you know, first aid assistance and all. I took a couple of courses when I was in college studying chemical engineering. Cause you never know, they could come in handy at any time. And see? The time has come.” Thomas got the medical kit from the closet and carried it to the table, then examined its contents. “Aha! Here are the bandages… and look, here’s some burn cream.”
“An aloe vera burning ointment… A wise choice to treat burns,” Logan said, “much better than the traditional oil-based burn ointment which can do more harm than good depending on the type of burn.”
“You really got this thought out, didn’t you, Nico?” Thomas said.
“Well,” Nico said, bashfully, “let’s just say that this is not the first time I burned myself while trying to cook. I wanted to step out of my comfort zone by trying to cook something for you but I messed everything up. I should have simply ordered a pizza, but I didn’t want to do something so dull for our Halloween date, I wanted it to be special.”
“Don’t worry, Nico. I’m not the best cook either and I appreciate the love you put into this… Okay, here I go. Are you ready? This might hurt a bit.”
“I’m ready.”
Thomas applied the burn cream, spreading it over the burn as gently as he could. Then, he started wrapping Nico’s hand with the bandage. Sometimes, Nico grimaced in pain, but most of the time, he just stared at Thomas with a loving glance. Thomas didn’t notice as he was focused on applying the bandage as painlessly as he could. When he was done, he tied the edge and secured the bandage.
“Done. You should see a doctor, though, as soon as you can so that they can advise better on that wound.”
Nico didn’t answer. He just leaned over and kissed Thomas on the cheek, staining the cheek with his white skeleton makeup.
“Thank you. Sorry I stained your face.”
“You’re welcome.” Thomas said, smiling back. “Well, it seems that we can’t eat these little pieces of coal in the kitchen. Do you want me to order some pizza?”
“I’d be glad. I’m sorry I can’t give you more.”
“For the last time, I don’t need you to give me more. I came here to spend time with you, not with your food. And besides, I adore pizza, I don’t mind at all to have it for dinner. So…”
Suddenly the sound of the oven bell ringing startled him.
“What was that?” Thomas said.
“That… that was the oven… the sign that I should take the pizza rolls out…”
“How much time did you program on the oven, Nico?”
“The time specified on the recipe. Look.”
Nico showed Thomas his phone and Thomas read something on the screen. Logan read the screen too.
“This doesn’t make any sense, Thomas.” Logan said, “The time specified on this recipe is totally safe. It would have been impossible that the pizza rolls had got burnt if they’ve been in the oven for this time only. If anything, it would have been the opposite, they would have come out a little raw and would have needed a little more time.”
“How is it possible that the pizza rolls got burnt when they spent so little time in the oven? Are you sure you didn’t introduce something wrong on the timer?” Thomas said.
“Yes, I’m sure, Thomas. I’m not the best cook, but I can read, and I double-checked that the timer was right.”
“Then, how could the pizza rolls get burnt? This doesn’t make any sense…”
Suddenly all the lights in the house turned off.
“What the…?” Nico started saying.
But he was interrupted by the sound of something made of glass crashing on the floor in another room followed by a creepy voice laughing and yelling with a squeaky voice: “Who broke this vase!? Hehehehehehe…”
“Okay…” Thomas said with a trembling voice “…if this is your idea of a creepy Halloween, I commend you for your creativity… but I beg you to stop right now, this is too scary for me…”
“I don’t have any part on this, Thomas…” Nico said with an equally trembling voice “I don’t know what is going on.”
Logan looked around.
“All of this has a strangely familiar look, just like that voice. I think I know that…”
Suddenly one light turned on in the middle of the table where Thomas and Nico were sitting. Remus was there, dressed as a zombie, with one eye hanging and blood all over his body.”
“AAAAAYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!” Remus screeched demonically.
Thomas screeched, scared, before he recognized Remus. Nico just stared at the apparition, and with the same gesture and no words coming out of his mouth, he flopped down on the table, unconscious.
“Nico!” Thomas yelled “Nico, are you all right?”
Thomas checked Nico. He had simply fainted.
“What is going on here!?” Thomas yelled.
“Hahahahaha! I surely scared the sh*t out of your boyfriend, didn’t I? Both of you in fact, you should have seen your faces! Hahahahaha!”
“Shut up, Remus! For starters, how in the world could Nico see you!? I thought you were just a figment of my imagination and that only I could see you!”
“Well, you thought wrong, Thomas! Not tonight at least! Tonight is the night where all nightmares become real, and tonight I’m your worst nightmare, Thomas!”
“Remus, will you stop these ridiculous antics!?” Logan said. “You could have killed Nico out of a heart attack! You know we’re not supposed to interact with other humans, it’s against the rules of Sides!”
Remus shifted back into his normal form.
“Oh, to the hell with rules! No rules can bind me, and you know it!”
“Wait, so all of you can become visible at will?” Thomas said “Why didn’t you tell me?”
“You never asked.” Remus said with a mocking grin.
“It’s a little complicate, Thomas.” Virgil started saying, until he was interrupted.
“Nico, are you all right!?” Patton yelled after rising up, with a grimace of fear and an over the top concern “Please, talk to me!”
“Okay, okay, guys, enough is enough” Janus said, appearing “What will happen if now Nico starts seeing us? You’re endangering Thomas’ relationship, and bearing in mind his streak of luck, he’s not in a position of wasting relationships…”
“Yeah, I want to keep Nico as our final prize, I don’t want to lose him!
“Oh, brother, you don’t have to worry about anything. You, Light Sides, didn’t know it, but for us, Dark Sides, it was a secret common knowledge that if we never shared it with you, it was because Janus wouldn’t let us.” Remus said.
“What do you mean, Remus?” Roman said. Logan and Patton also looked at Remus, in confusion.
“Can I, Janus?” Remus inquired.
“Only if Thomas wants, Remus, you know the rules.” Janus said.
“Oh, I do want,” Thomas said “I want to know what Remus means.”
“Okay, go ahead Remus.” Janus said.
“Thank you, snake boy. If Nico can see us, then that means that…”
Suddenly, Nico rose his face from the table. Everyone stared at him in silence. The first thing he saw was Janus and his snake face.
“Hi, Mr. Floresssssss” Janus says, hissing with his forked tongue.
Nico immediately fainted again.
“Guys!” Roman yelled “Are you trying to make Thomas a widower before he even marries!?”
“Preposterous.” Logan said “To be a widower you need to be married beforehand, at least legally.”
“That’s the intention,” Roman said “if he reaches the altar alive, that is!”
“Enough!” Thomas yelled. “Everyone get out of sight, now, before he sees you again!”
The Sides shrugged and turned invisible for Thomas, all of them except Remus.
“You too, Remus, you’re the cause of all of this and I don’t want you here! Well, I never want you around but much less right now!”
“Aww, too bad that you’re not my boss, Tommy Boy! You can’t force me to do anything as you remember.”
Thomas sighed.
“At least, could you please become invisible for Nico? Please, he’s survived two strong impressions in a row. He has a young heart, but still, a third shock like that could be fatal for anyone!”
“Okay, I will. But only because I think Nico’s hot and I don’t want him to die yet, not at least before you two…” and he completed the phrase with a lot of… expressive words that this narrator is not willing to quote.
Thomas ignored Remus and started fanning Nico with his hand.
“Nico, are you all right? Wake up, please! Nico!”
Nico started waking up. At first he showed a face of confusion. Then he suddenly showed a face of fear and looked around, anxious.
“Where are they? Where are they!?”
“Uh… where are who?”
“That zombie on the table, and then the snake-man! I remember very well I saw them, and so did you!”
“Uh… well…” Thomas said with a stuttering nervous voice.
Nico looked at Thomas right in the eye, then he went serious and started speaking.
“You’re hiding something from me, Thomas. I can feel it. You always get into that nervous attitude when you’re trying to conceal something that bothers you. You’re not a very good liar, no matter how hard you try.”
Janus watched the scene a few steps behind, invisible for them, frowning at Nico with an offended face.
“Listen, I wouldn’t push you to tell me secrets you don’t want anyone to know, but if I know you, and in just two months I think I know you well already, you only put that face of remorse when you think I should know something but you don’t tell me because you’re afraid or ashamed. If that’s the case, please, open up to me.” Nico held Thomas’ hands “I love you. You don’t need to be afraid and your secret will always be safe with me, I promise. No one will know through my lips. Please, trust me.”
“I do trust you, Nico. And I don’t want to have secrets with you. It’s just that I never thought I would ever need to tell you this, to you or to anybody at all. And I never told you about this, because I feared that you would think you were dating a weirdo. What am I saying? I’m probably a weirdo anyway…”
Nico frowned at Thomas.
“Thomas, I forbid you to speak about yourself in these terms! You’re not a weirdo! You’re the sanest man I’ve ever met and I will physically fight you if you say otherwise!”
“Heh… physically fight me? It’s not the first time I heard someone say these words. And it’s only appropriate that you mentioned them just now. Maybe it’s true we are soulmates after all…”
“You’re diverting, Thomas. Please, tell me what’s bothering you.”
“Well… promise you won’t freak out or think I’m mad?”
“I’ve already promised. Go ahead, please.”
“You see, all of my life there’s been this exercise I made when I wanted to put my ideas in order, or I wanted to analyze my train of thoughts carefully to find solutions to the dilemmas I regularly face in my life. I imagined that the different aspects of my personality, you know, my morality, my logical thinking, my anxiety and my creativity and romanticism, where, like, different people. I visualized them in front of me and sustained conversations with them, and imagined that the thoughts in my head were actually words said by them. It helped me to externalize these thoughts and view them critically and as objectively as I could.”
Nico just looked at Thomas in silence.
“Well, up to a minute ago… I thought that all these people, who I called the Sanders Sides, you know the sides of my personality, were imaginary and only in my head. But Remus… that’s the name of my forbidden creativity, the thoughts I try to repress in my mind which show up as intrusive thoughts… decided to prank us… and showed up in the middle of the table dressed as a zombie. I thought only I could see him… until you fainted out of the impression. I never knew other people could see them if they wanted to. Heck, I don’t even understand how they can do it at all. I’m so sorry, I should have told you earlier. I’ll understand if you’re mad at me, and if you don’t want to date me anymore, it would kill me, because I love you with all my heart, but I’d accept your choice. Well? What do you say?”
Nico kept looking at Thomas. Slowly a face of surprise started appearing on his face. Thomas showed a face of fear.
“You have Lados too?”
“What?” Thomas said, stunned. He didn’t expect that answer at all.
“Yes, Lados. That’s how I call them, it’s the word in Spanish for Sides, which is what you call them. I… I thought I was the only one who had them!”
Roman, Logan and Patton stared at Nico, with their mouths wide open. Remus just smiled mockingly and said:
“That’s the secret I was trying to tell you before he woke up. If Nico could see me, that means he also has the ability to turn his thoughts into Sides, which means he has his own Sides too. Not all humans can see us, only those who have Sides can.”
“Wow, I should have known earlier, you know?” Thomas said, looking at Remus.
“I’m sorry I should have told you… Wait, who are you talking to?” Nico said, confused, noticing Thomas was staring at an empty space.
“Oh, I guess he’s still invisible to you now… I was talking to Remus, he’s over there, even if you don’t see him.”
“I see… That’s an expression, of course. Remus, wherever you are, that was a good prank, you really scared the crap out of me.”
“Thank you, Nico!” Remus said, startling Nico after suddenly becoming visible for him “I love that you’re a guy that can take pranks, unlike other people I know, and I’m not looking at anyone.” Remus said, looking at Thomas right in the eye.
“Yes, today Remus seems to be in a mood for pranks.” Thomas said “But, Remus, even though I know you never listen to me, you could be more careful, look at Nico’s hand, he burned it because of you.”
“Wait, what?” Remus said, confused “What are you talking about?”
“That joke with the oven, accelerating it and making the pizza rolls burn before they were made? You could have set the whole house on fire, and I would have never forgiven myself. Don’t do that again.”
“I recognize that would have been a very funny prank, Thomas…” Remus said, still confused “…but I didn’t take part in that.”
“What? You’re kidding me, right?”
“No, I’m not, Thomas. You know me well, you already know by experience that I would never hide anything to you. For once in a lifetime, I’m an innocent little lamb.”
“You wish.” Patton said.
“No, I don’t, daddy. Feeling innocent is disgusting and it’s not like me at all, you know? That’s more your thing, not mine. Me, I’m more of a guilty-pleasure addict.”
“I’d rather not think what you mean by that…” Patton said, uncomfortable.
Thomas looked at Remus, totally confused.
“But… if it wasn’t you… then who…?”
A demonic long screech started resounding all over the house, and the lights started flickering on and off.
“What is going on!?” Thomas said, scared, yelling over the screech to make himself heard. “Is it one of your Sides… of your Lados, by any chance, Nico!?”
“No, it isn’t, Thomas!” Nico also had to yell to make himself heard. “I don’t know where that screech is coming from!”
“Ugh, that screech is hurting my ears…” Remus said “I’m getting out of here.”
Remus sank down.
“Ugh… this is so horrible, not even Remus could stand it…” Thomas said “But then, what is going on?”
The screech stopped. Then, a demonic voice started speaking.
“You will regret coming into my house… Both of you… will pay… with blood!”
Thomas grabbed Nico, shaking from head to toe.
“Nico… I’m scared…” Thomas said.
“Me too…” Nico said, hugging Thomas.
Then, the lights went off. Roman’s female scream was heard.
“What was that!?” Nico yelled in horror.
“Roman, was that you!? Are you okay!?” Thomas said.
“Yes, it’s me, sorry, Thomas.” Roman said with his own voice “I still hate the dark…”
A demonic laugh startled everyone in the dark.
“A… a ghost… It’s a ghost!” Patton’s whining voice said in the dark.
“Okay, guys, everybody calm down.” Logan’s voice said “There has to be some logical explanation for all of this.”
“Don’t try to explain this rationally, Logan!” Roman said “For once, there’s something not even you can explain, so don’t pretend to know better, Teach!”
“There’s only one explanation” Virgil said “This house is haunted and there’s a ghost living here. Our only hope is to get out of this house, get in the car and drive as far away as the gas level allows us, and pray that the ghost doesn’t follow us to torment us for the rest of our lives.”
“I can’t just leave my house… whoever you are.” Nico said.
“He’s Virgil, my anxiety, always a source of positivity as you can see.” Thomas said, ironically.
“Have you ever experience this kind of… paranormal activity in your house, Nico? And my name is Logan, by the way, I’m Thomas’ logical thinking.”
“Well… no, Logan, I haven’t. Up until today, this house was perfectly normal, no sign of spirits meddling around in my life.”
“How long have you been living here, if I may ask?”
“Well… I moved to Gainesville at the end of last year. I got this job in the University of Florida, teaching Spanish, you know? I got this house around November, to start the semester in January, and I’ve been living here happily and peacefully, until now.”
“So you didn’t live here by Halloween last year, right?”
“Right. Back then, I still lived in Orlando, although I was already preparing to move to Gainesville and looking for cheap rent houses.”
“Then that explains it. The ghost that lives here only shows up on Halloween, for some reason.”
“I thought you were looking for a logical explanation, Logan.” Roman said. “Have you changed your mind about paranormal events?”
“I got a logical explanation. If you’re meaning a “rational explanation”, well, that’s a different story. This isn’t rational at all, but with the information I’ve got, I must bring up any possible theories, even if they go against the scientific method.”
“You do realize that doesn’t make any sense, right?”
“If it doesn’t, it’s because we lack information to understand this phenomenon, Roman. But to try and retrieve the missing data, we must explore any possibilities, no matter how mad they may sound.”
“So you’re saying that you need me to complete this theory, right? Thanks, Teach, I knew you wouldn’t resist my talent one day or another.”
“No, I…” Logan started saying, but then another demonic screech interrupted them.
“Guys” Thomas said “While you’re here theorizing, that demonic entity is still wreaking havoc. Stop trying to find out what it is and start looking for a solution to get rid of it!”
“Yes, even if it’s only for one night, or so you say, Logan, I don’t want an evil spirit on the loose in my house! I’d never sleep in peace at night ever again!” Nico said.
“My house!” the demonic voice said “This is my house and you are intruders! Go away!”
“I’ve already paid a good year of rent!” Nico said “This is my house until I can’t pay my landlady anymore!”
Another short screech was the only answer.
“Did your landlady ever tell you about this happening?” Thomas said.
“No, she didn’t. But Mrs. Howard is a very nice, old lady, she would never hide anything like this to me on purpose. I’m sure she doesn’t know anything about this.”
“Then tell her! I want her to come here!” the voice said. Except that this time it was the whining voice of a child.
“Wait a minute…” Thomas said “The ghost is… is a child?”
The lights turned on, and the couple and Sides saw a little boy dressed in 1960’s fashion. If it wasn’t for the paleness of his face and his anachronistic outfit, nothing would have distinguished him from any other boy like the many others doing trick-or-treat outside. Well, to be fair, he could have indeed blended in with these boys now that they were disguised as spooky creatures. The ghost child stared at them with sad eyes.
“I want her back… Why did she leave me behind?” he said.
“Who left you behind, kiddo?” Patton said.
“It’s weird to hear Patton using the word kiddo right for the first time…” Virgil said.
“My mom.” the ghost said “That Mrs. Howard he mentioned… She’s my mom.”
“My landlady is your mom?” Nico said, in shock. “Oh, my goodness!”
“She promised she would never leave my side. She promised she would always be with me until I got better… but she left me. Why? Why did she lie to me? Why didn’t she want me!? I feel so alone and lost…”
“Oh, gosh…” Virgil said, emotional. “He doesn’t know he died. His mom probably was by his side as she promised, until the kid passed away, but he doesn’t remember the moment when he left his body and he thinks his mother abandoned him. Oh, this is so sad…”
“Okay, kiddo, what’s your name?” Patton said, after concealing his tears, with his most tender fatherly voice.
“Patrick.”
“Nice to meet you, Patrick, I’m… Patton. And these are my friends. We’re sorry if we have bothered you. It wasn’t our intention. Could you accept our apologies, kiddo?”
“Stop calling me kiddo! I’m eight years old, I’m a strong grown up!”
“Of course you are, Patrick!” Patton said.
“Eight years old…” Thomas said, emotional “It isn’t fair, no one should die so young.”
“My mother needed me to be strong, because she’s all alone and has to take care of us, me, my little brother and my little sister, and I need to get better to help her. But where is she? How can I help her if I don’t know where she is?”
Patton looked at the others. He was clearly overwhelmed by the emotion and getting choked up. He silently begged the others for help since he couldn’t speak anymore. Janus decided to step forward.
“Listen, young man. Because as you said you’re a young man, correct? Your mom had to… get away from this house, you know? She had to move somewhere else to take care of your siblings.”
“Then why didn’t she take me with them? Didn’t they want me anymore, because I was sick and they thought I would be useless?”
“No, of course not! Uh… I’m sure your mom loved you with all her heart. It’s just that she couldn’t take you with her because… um… the place where she moved to only allowed two kids, and she had to choose… and she chose your two little siblings, because they were younger and more in need of her care… and you are a strong and capable man, aren’t you? She knew you could take care of yourself better on your own than your siblings, that’s why she left you here, because she also needed someone to help her take care of this house while she was out, you know? She loves and trusts you so much that she left you right here in this place to fulfill your duty. You should hold that trust she has on you with pride.”
“I… I guess… but why didn’t she tell me? And why doesn’t she ever come here, at least to visit me? I miss her so much.”
“She can’t right now, young man. But rest assure, she would love to visit you. And in due time, she’ll come for you, when you least expect it, and then she’ll release you from your duty and take you to a place where you’ll never be away from her ever again, and then she’ll give you all the love she couldn’t give you all these past years and more, you’ll see.”
“Dag nabbit…” Thomas said with tears in his eyes “This snake is making me cry.”
“Me too…” Nico said, also crying, with foggy glasses.
“I… I understand.” the little ghost said. “Will I have to wait for too long until she comes for me?”
“It may take her some time… but each year that goes by will be a year closer to her, so wait for that day with hope and one day, you’ll have your reward. You’ll see.”
“Okay… thank you sir.” the ghost spoke to Nico “I’m sorry for burning your food, sir, and also that you hurt your hand because of me. That was rude and I apologize.”
“It’s okay… totally okay, don’t worry.” Nico said with a trembling emotional voice.
“I feel so much peace now that I know that I’m going to see her again…” the ghost said while he started becoming translucent “I think I know where I truly need to go to wait for her… I think I remember it all now… Thank you so much, kind people. You listened to me when nobody else would and freed my soul. I’ll forever be grateful to you for that.” he smiled with a face of peace and happiness “I can see my dad! He’s there with open arms, calling me! I gotta go, I missed him so much too! Goodbye, everyone! Dad, I’m so happy to see you again! Are you proud of me?”
And with these words, the ghost disappeared. They all stood there looking at the empty space for a few seconds in a silence only broken by Thomas and Nico’s faint sobs.
“I don’t know if his dad will be proud of him, even though I believe he totally is…” Patton said “but I’m certain of who this dad, and I mean me, is proud of. I’m so proud of you, Janus.”
Janus snorted trying to act cold.
“I was only being me, telling the kid a bunch of lies to fool him and push him to the other side, where he wouldn’t bother us anymore, that’s all.”
Thomas smiled at Janus.
“You’re a liar…” he said “…but you’re my liar and I love you, liar and all.”
“Eh… whatever.” Janus said, with his human cheek blushing red and his human eye full of emotional tears.
Nico looked at Thomas with a tender smile.
“What is it, Nico?”
“It’s nothing” Nico said. “It’s just that I’m so thankful that you decided to overcome your fears and talk to me at the mall. Otherwise I would have missed knowing you.”
“Oh, well… I…” Thomas said. “Why are you saying this right now?”
“Your Sides are you, aren’t they? Just like my Lados are me. And your Sides are all so great, each and everyone of them, therefore so are you. I love you so much.”
Thomas got emotional and smiled lovingly at Nico.
“And I love you too, Nico.” he said.
And then they kissed. After the kiss, Thomas said:
“Speaking about your Sides… I mean, your Lados, when am I… are we going to meet them?”
“In time… but tonight, I want this night to be just for us, if that’s okay with you. We’re still on Halloween date, aren’t we, and I don’t have the intention of squandering it.”
“Okay with me?” Thomas said, blushing again “Being with you will always be okay with me. I wouldn’t wanna be anywhere else in the world ever again.”
They kissed again. Remus appeared rising his arms in triumph.
“Yes! Finally!” Remus yelled “I was beginning to lose hope that they two would…”
“Don’t count your chickens before they hatch, Remus.” Roman said. Now the couple couldn’t see or hear the Sides anymore. “I’m sure after so much agitation and horror today, not to mention Nico’s wound, their only plan for the night will be getting a well deserved romantic dinner and watching some Halloween light horror movies.”
“But after the dinner, there always comes the dessert, doesn’t it?” Remus said, wiggling his eyebrows. Then he sighed in frustration. “If only Thomas wasn’t so romantic-driven that he needs to feel that romance in order to go to the next base. It’s boring having to go through all that long process and waiting for him to be ready before we get to the juicy stuff.”
“Well, romance is also good for Thomas’ soul and well-being,” Roman said “and I know, deep inside, you also want what is best for Thomas, even if you try to get it through your gruesome ways. On the other hand, we are brothers and part of a whole, Remus. As much as it is a pain for us both, if we want Thomas to be happy with Nico, we’ll have to work as a team, and our task is to help Thomas find out when he’s ready to move forward in the relationship. And who knows, maybe working as a team will give us an opportunity to rebuild our relationship as brothers?”
“Don’t build your hopes too high, Roman.” Remus said “Right now you can consider yourself lucky that we can work together without me having to pull out my mace.”
Roman chuckled.
“It’s a first step.” Roman said “and all the best adventures always start with a first step. I wonder where this adventure will take us both, brother.”
“If you say so…” Remus said, shrugging. “…brother.”
Roman smiled while Remus pretended he didn’t care. Then they both sank down with the others back to the Mind Palace, giving the couple some well earned privacy while they started ordering a pizza and checking Nico’s collection of Blu-Rays to find the perfect movie for the night.

The Only Truth (Mafia! Jeon Jungkook)
Requested by @junglekookbook I'm pretty sure this is one of my best works. I have never concentrated so much on an imagine before. So Let's Get It?!
Summary: You thought your life was perfect with your prince charming by your side. But what do you do when you realize that the person you thought you loved, has too many skeletons in his closet?
You rubbed your hands together to keep them warm, hissing as the cold wind fanned your face. The overcoat on your body wasn't enough to keep you warm. The weather report had predicted snowfall by the night. And even though you knew about it, you didn't take any precautions.
You continued to walk faster, motivating yourself by thinking about how warm your bed must be. It was already dark and there were barely any people on the streets. The streetlamps were flickering, making shivers run down your body. If this was a movie, then you'd probably be hearing footsteps behind you by now.
You could see your house in the distance, sighing in relief as you walked right past a dark alleyway. And that's when your feet stopped.
You could hear someone's groans, as if they were in pain. You turned your head to glance at the dark path, trying to come up with a decision. There were two options. Either you could play hero and check what was going on. Or you could go home and have a nice hot bath followed by a cup of hot chocolate.
As tempting the latter sounded, your morals wouldn't allow you to do that. You were a doctor after all. Taking in a deep breath, you courageously walked into the alley, praying under your breath for your safety. You reached the dead end, your eyes searching for the source of those noises you had heard.
And that's when you saw him.
Leaning against the wall with bruises and cuts littering his face. Your throat felt constricted when you saw the blood seeping through his white shirt underneath his jacket. His eyes were closed and all he could do was groan in pain.
You quickly rushed to kneel beside him, carefully shaking his shoulders to keep him conscious.
"Hey Mr. I need you to keep your eyes open, do you hear me? Stay with me until I get you some help, okay?" You said gently, your heart pounding in your chest. He seemed to be able to hear you for his eyes opened a little.
"Don't need....your help." His voice was a whisper but you heard what he said. In that moment, you wanted to scoff. Even when he was dying, he didn't need your help? Sounds like a bunch of bullshit.
With a shake of your head, you placed his arm across your shoulder, lifting him up with all your strength. He was way heavier than he looked. Thankfully, your house wasn't very far, you just needed him to stay conscious and carry some of his weight for you.
You were panting by the time you reached your house, your hands fumbling with the lock as the stranger leaned onto your small figure. You could feel his shallow breath on your neck while you unlocked the door and pushed it open. And as if on cue, he fell down on the floor, completely unconscious.
"Shit." You cursed and ran inside, lifting him by his shoulders, just enough to drag him to the couch. It was gonna be a long night.
💔💔
Your head hung low as you stared blankly at the floor of the grimy basement where you were being held captive. Dried tears stained your cheeks along with blood from the little cuts across your face. The pain in your thigh had subsided. Or maybe you just didn't care anymore. The scalpel which was dug deep into your thigh was glinting in the little light which came from the small bulb on the ceiling.
"Oh, looks like your dear boyfriend kept you in the dark all this time."
"He is a gangster. A gangster who I thought I killed about four months ago."
"Still willing to die for him, doll?"
Your kidnapper's voice kept replaying in your head. Your heart felt heavy and....broken.
The man you were so in love with, lied to you. He lied to you about who he was. He lied to you about everything.
That night in the alley. He hadn't been robbed. He had been beaten up by a mafia gang.
The nights when he didn't come home, he wasn't working. He was killing people and fixing deals.
The times when he came home with bruises on his face, he didn't walk into a pole. He was out on shootouts.
Your heartbeat fastened on hearing gunshots outside the room, knowing very well that he was here. The door to the basement opened and someone walked in with staggered footsteps. You didn't react when your hair was harshly pulled back and a metal was placed against the side of your head. More footsteps entered the room but you didn't look up, your eyes finding the floor very interesting. A sob threatened to escape your lips but you pursed your lips. You were afraid to look at him. Afraid that you'd forget and fall back into the web of lies that he had spun for you.
"Let her go and I won't kill you."
💔💔
You sat in your cabin, looking through the files of some patients. Your clinic had already closed but you were staying back. Mainly because you didn't want to go home yet. It was Saturday night and everyone was out partying. Too bad you didn't have any friends.
A knock on the door made you look up as you replied with a 'come in'. It was the new receptionist.
"Miss Y/L/N, there's someone here to see you. I told him you weren't seeing any patients now but he said he's your friend."
You frowned and tilted your head. Friend?
You nodded and told her to let him in. She left and a minute later, the door opened again as he stepped in.
Your breath hitched as he walked towards you with a small bouquet in his hands. The last time you saw him, he had disappeared without a word and you never heard from him again. It had been a month since that incident. You would be lying if you said you weren't hurt. You had treated him for three days at your house, only for him to disappear on you. You hadn't even gotten a chance to find out his name. So much for helping a stranger...
"You look a lot different than I last saw you." You stated, watching him as he shifted his weight from one leg to another. There were no more cuts on his face, not even scars. They were all gone. He curtly nodded and looked at you.
"I wanted to thank you for that. I owe you."
His voice was gentle but his expression was blank. At one point, it looked like he had no idea what he was doing. You smiled and glanced at the bouquet of orchids in his hand.
"Those for me?" You asked, nudging your chin towards the flowers in his hand. His eyes shot up to your face before glancing at the bouquet.
"Oh yeah." He handed it to you as you smiled and took in the scent. Orchids were your favourite. What a coincidence that he decided to get these for you. You didn't notice how his eyes were trained on your face, a soft smile spreading on his own as a result.
"And I also needed to apologize for... leaving without saying anything. So, I was wondering if you'd join me for dinner?" You looked at him to find him scratching the back of his neck. You bit your lip and glanced at the files. It's not like this was important anyway. Also, this man was extremely handsome and you knew you'd regret it if you didn't go. One dinner wouldn't hurt.
"I'd like that." You smiled, standing up and packing your things.
"My name's Y/N, by the way. I don't think you remember since you were pretty much out of it." You stated, taking your purse from under the desk as you recalled how he was barely awake when you had kept him at your house.
"I remember....how can I forget?" You failed to hear the last part as you turned off the computer on your desk and got ready to leave.
"And what do I call you?"
"Jungkook. Jeon Jungkook."
💔💔
You flinched a little on hearing another gunshot followed by a heavy thud from behind you. Your kidnapper was dead. You could tell.
You closed your eyes and continued to keep your head down, a low whimper escaping your lips. Your head was spinning and you couldn't breathe anymore.
You felt a hand on your thigh and you sharply inhaled on feeling the scalpel move.
"This'll hurt a little."
You heard his voice and rage filled you. You didn't want him near you. Your chest rose and fell rapidly, indicating that your breathing was becoming very erratic. Suddenly, the scalpel was pulled out followed by pressure being applied to your wound. You could feel the tightness of whatever was being wrapped around your thigh, the pain making it harder for you to stay awake.
You slowly opened your eyes, seeing him taking off the ropes from around you. You leaned back on the chair, feeling your eyes getting heavier.
"No, Y/N. Stay with me, please. Don't you dare close your eyes. Do you hear me?" Jungkook said, cupping your cheeks. You mumbled something as your body fell limp. Jungkook placed his ear next to your mouth to hear what you were trying to say.
"Liar..."
💔💔
You sat beside Jungkook on the sand, watching in content as the waves crashed against the shore. The sun was setting, colouring the sky in beautiful colours. The single orchid in your hand swayed with the wind, your hair getting tangled behind you.
A sudden tap on your shoulder made you turn your head, your lips forming into a smile on seeing a little girl standing in front of you with a shy smile.
"Hi there, darling! How can I help you?" You asked sweetly. Jungkook sat quietly and watched the whole exchange, wondering how you were so nice to everyone.
"I just wanted to tell you that you're really pretty..."
You chuckled and leaned forward, holding her small hands in yours. "Maybe I am. But certainly not as pretty as you." You said, handing the orchid to her. She grinned and mumbled a thank you before gently kissing your cheek and running away.
You laughed and turned back to find Jungkook staring at you with a fond smile.
"What?" You asked, tucking your hair behind your ear. Jungkook lightly shook his head and sat up straighter, focusing all his attention on you.
"You really are pretty..."
You blushed as your heart did a little flip, biting your lip in nervousness on seeing Jungkook lean closer to you.
It had been a couple of weeks since you started going out with Jungkook. He never said anything about dates, avoiding all your questions by saying,
'I like your company.'
But you couldn't deny the fact that you had grown to like him. Though you still didn't know a lot about him, you liked him. Because he made you feel like you were special.
He glanced at your lips, moving closer until your nose brushed against his. He gently placed a hand on your cheek as you closed your eyes, his lips pressing against yours.
It was gentle. As gentle as a feather. His lips were soft and you felt like you were on cloud nine. His hand moved to the back of your neck, pushing you closer against him. Hesitantly, you tangled your fingers in his hair on feeling him deepening the kiss. It was so passionate that you couldn't help but feel light headed.
You both pulled away, gasping for air, your forehead leaning against his.
"What are you doing to me, Y/N Y/L/N?"
💔💔
You opened your eyes, wincing on feeling the throbbing in your head. With a lot of struggle, you placed a hand on your forehead, feeling the smooth surface of a bandaid beneath your fingers. You frowned slightly and let your mind wander to your last memory before you blacked out. Everything came crashing down on you like a brick wall. The lies. The kidnapping. The torture. Jeon Jungkook.
Immediately tears filled your eyes and you sat up, finding it difficult to breath.
Your heart hurt, it felt like someone was trying to rip it out of your chest. The only man who you had come to love, lied to you. He made a fool out of your feelings. He fed you lies upon lies until someone else spilled out his secrets.
Too busy dealing with your emotions, you didn't notice the bedroom door opening.
Jungkook entered the room in which you lay unconscious, sighing in relief on seeing that you were now awake. He wanted to run to you and hide you in his arms. He wanted to kiss you and ask you if you were okay. He wanted to tell you how grateful he was that you were alive.
But he couldn't.
Not after seeing the tears running down your face. Not after seeing the way your eyes widened when you spotted him.
You pushed yourself against the headboard, ignoring the bouts of pain that covered every inch of your body. Jungkook's heart broke on seeing you like that. He knew that you were aware of the truth. He knew that there was probably no chance of you forgiving him. But he had to try. He had to try because it was you. It was always gonna be you.
With cautious steps, he approached you, placing his hands up as if to surrender.
"I'm not here to hurt you, my love."
You furiously shook your head and pulled the thin blanket, clenching the soft material in your hands. Your lips quivered as you tried to say something.
"I-I don't wanna talk to y-you." You stammered, looking at him with all the hatred you could gather. Jungkook wanted to shoot himself on the spot. He knew he shouldn't have hid anything from you.
"Y/N, I had to do it. Please just let me explain." He begged, his eyes displaying all the sorrow that his heart was drowning in. You shook your head again, clearly showing him that he couldn't change your mind.
"You lied to me. You're a liar. This whole relationship was a lie. You never loved me. You never cared. I don't know why you did this but I don't think I wanna know anymore. Just leave me alone."
Jungkook's knees gave out and he fell to the ground, clasping his hands in front of him as if to pray. He was begging you. On his knees.
"That's not true. Just tell me this, would you have loved me back if I told you what I did? Would you have even let me take you out if I told you who I really was?" He asked, trying hard not to cry. But he couldn't hold it in. He was so close to losing the love of his life. He probably already lost you.
"Maybe I would have! Maybe I wouldn't. That gives you no right to lie to me. You played me, Jungkook. You fucking played with my feelings. I fell for a man who doesn't exist. What should I do with this revelation?!" You spat, pointing your finger at him. In that moment, Jungkook couldn't tell if he still had any hope left or not. He wasn't sure what would make you stay. He wasn't sure if that was even an option for you anymore. He knew he did wrong. But that was the only way to make you love a monster like him.
"I didn't play you, Y/N. I hid the truth from you. Please, I just need one chance to prove how much I care. I'll leave all this. We can go somewhere far away from here and start afresh. Just, please, don't leave me." Jungkook cried, hanging his head low in shame.
You were surprised to see him crying. He had never ever cried in front of you. And the sight broke you. You wanted to forgive him. You really did. Because you loved him a lot. He was a big part of your life now and you didn't want to let go.
"Tell me one thing that was true. Give me one good reason to stay." You said, your voice holding a certain level of coldness to it. You were slipping away from him and Jungkook could feel it.
He fell silent for a minute, processing his next words very carefully. He couldn't lose you. Not now. Not ever.
You smiled bitterly, nodding to yourself. This was it then. Everything was-
"I love you. And I always meant it."
Jungkook looked at you with hopeful eyes, watching your gaze soften. You melted. You knew you did. You were a goner for him. You were so in love with him that you would have hated yourself for not forgiving him. What had he done to you?
"I just need you to be happy. Whether it's with me or away from me. Although I'd like it if it's with me..."
You sniffled, looking at the floor. Wiping away a tear that trailed down your cheek, you cleared your throat and locked eyes with him.
"If something ever happens to-"
"I'll never let anyone hurt you again. I promise."
You smiled softly, shaking your head at how determined he sounded.
"I was gonna say if something ever happened to you, I'm not sure I'll be okay with losing you like that."
Jungkook's breath hitched, his feet pushing him to stand up. He took one long step towards you, caressing your cheek with his rough fingers before kissing you. Even after doing this for three months, you hadn't gotten used to it. His kisses always felt new and they took your breath away.
"You're my home. I'll always come back to you."
You smiled against his lips, his words making you feel warm and fuzzy.
It was true. You were his home and he was yours. No matter how many times you doubted your love, the feeling of being home would always overcome it. Cause that's what you do. You always come back home.
❤️❤️
Let me know your thoughts! Hasta la vista, babies!

Trick or Treat
warnings: halloween
Loki x gn!reader
- Trick or treating is loads of fun, so you decide, what could possibly be better than going around your neighborhood with your boyfriend, the god of mischief himself?
- You do have to explain a lot of the customs to him before you set off.
- “What if I ask for a trick?”
- “That’s just... being obnoxious.”
- You have a giant pumpkin bucket that you normally use to hand out sweets, but this year you’re the one getting the sweets.
- Loki wears a cat mask (you have no idea where he got it from) whilst you choose a skeleton mask and matching jumper.
- Although he’s acting indifferent, you can tell he’s really, really excited from how his eyes flit around the apartment, constantly watching the door in preparation to leave.
- Once outside, Loki completely loses his facade - especially when he sees the decorated houses.
- “Look! (Y/N) look!” is followed up by a clearing of his throat and a “stupid Midgardian customs”
- You round up a massive haul of sweets - Reeses, candy corn, chocolate bars, fudge sticks... literally everything appears in your plastic pumpkin.
- In all honesty, you’re not 100% sure if Loki just ‘magic-ed up’ a bunch of chocolate.
- On the long walk back (because Loki literally made you walk miles, he was so excited), you spot a family walking in the opposite direction.
- There’s a kid with them, holding his dad’s hand, who points towards Loki’s mask and yells “cat cat cat cat cat!” excitedly
- You can’t see it, but you know that Loki is blushing from embarrassment and the parent’s apologies for the pointing child do nothing to stop said blush.
- The kid is still absolutely enthralled by the mask, turning around to look at Loki as he walks past.
- In a sudden surge of courage, Loki produces ten tiny cats - all made of smoke - that tumble out from his hands and float around his head.
- The boy’s eyes nearly drop out, and he is grinning from ear to ear as you and Loki turn to complete the walk back to your apartment.
- “You’re adorable, Loki.”
- “When I want to be.”
- Once the two of you are in the warm, Loki sets about making hot drinks for the both of you whilst you rummage through the plastic pumpkin to see the extent of your haul.
- Loki joins you, and after a while, he pulls out a glowstick.
- “What type of chocolate is this?” he jokes, fastening it around your wrist.
- The two of you spend the rest of the night (and the subsequent few days) eating the chocolate and sweets that you collected.
- Even though he doesn’t say it, Loki had an amazing time.
- He wants to do it every year - trick or treating with you, his beloved.

2. Are relationships ever worth it?
Of course! But it depends on the relationship. Obviously toxic relationships are never worth it, and relationships where only one person is putting in the effort also isnt worth it. Relationships are about mutual love and respect for your partner after all
9. Describe your perfect mate
Tbh I dont put a lot of thought into what a perfect boyfriend would be like. I think as long as we get along, there's mutual feelings, and it's a healthy and respectful relationship, they could be anyone. We dont have to have everything in common to be happy together.
11. Do you ever want to get married?
I mean it'd be nice but I'm probably going to die alone-
But yeah I'd want to get married.
21. Do you think someone has feelings for you?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Dont make me laugh
22. Do you think someone is thinking about you right now?
Not really no.
27. Has someone ever written a song or poem for you?
No, why would anyone do that for me?
37. Have you ever liked someone who your friends hated?
Literally ever guy I've ever liked my friends hated and then they screwed me over so I guess it was like my friends knew something I didnt. But my friends liking the person I like would mean a lot to me, but if they didnt I wouldnt just magically stop liking that person. I'd still try and keep a healthy balance between the two. Your friends dont have to like the person you have feelings for, you just have to like each other.
56. State 8 facts about your body
Interesting interesting:
- got pretty bad arthritis from being double jointed
- if there's one thing I'm oddly and openly proud of it's my figure, I mean I have NICE thighs yall. I'm thicc
- pretty covered in scars tbh, most of them are pretty funny stories involving my cats and a cardboard box
- besides having thicc thighs the rest of my is pretty bony cause I'm bordering being underweight. It's pretty cool what I can do with a pencil and my ribcage ngl
- I'm pretty liddol. Like 5'1 and got tiny possum hands, perfect size for holding though.
- I say I'm pretty ugly, but everyone is obsessed with my eyebrows. Apparently their natural shape is what a lot of women want and I just?? They're just my eyebrows ???
- normal human body, definitely not a bunch of rats in a trenchcoat
- may contain full human skeleton
58. What are five ways to win your heart?
Hmmm let me think:
- being into video games so we could be nerds together would probably do it
- being pretty understanding and patient with me would be another tbh, tells you a lot about how I've been treated in the past huh?
- just little things I guess like sharing what we did that made us happy that day
- being my friend first helps the process IMMENSELY. I'd already be pretty comfortable around you by that point and we should know a few things about the other already to help ease into learning the new things. I'm very awkward and dont understand emotions sometimes I'm sorry-
- idk a lot of these just sound like stupid simple things that seem like basic human relations but I am not used to receiving those from guys so-
75. What’s the sweetest thing anyone’s ever done for you?
:^)
I still really cant think of anything.. I'm usually the one making things or buying things or doing little things for other people-
85. Would you ever date someone off of the Internet?
Of course! I'll admit it'd be a little lonely at first because I'm a clingy son of a bitch BUT if we knew each other pretty well and like each other, I dont see why it being long distance would be a problem. I'd be willing to put in the effort to make it work.
These question all sound suspiciously like someone out there wants to date me-

Hi! I wanted to ask if I can have a match! I'm really shy so and quaking in my boots writing this. I am a 5'4 female who is really shy and has a bunch of freckles. At first I am very timid and shy, but once you get to know me I won't shut up. I am a very loyal friend and would do just about anything for those I care about. I really love animals and have 4 dogs. I have more empathy than I know what to do with, I treat just about everything like it lives. Thanks for reading, have a nice day! Bye!
Ayeeee, 5′4″ squad, haha. Ironically, I had practiced drawing details on a person I drew and I drew a ton of freckles as well, they’re awesome, haha.
Boyfriend Match: Clove (Horrorswap Sans)
This boy just needs a soft, yet kind date mate, and you seem to be perfect for him! Always helping him with his insecurities, helping build up his old personality again, showing him, and his brother, so much needed love, care, and relaxation. Truly, he needed you in his life more than you may realize, and your animals, oh heavens, he adores them, they seem so loving and they just, know when he’s down. Gosh, this is the life he wanted on the surface, and thank you for helping him realize that this is what he finds perfect.
Romantic Interest Match: Papyrus (Undertale Papyrus)

Halloween Special: Bugs and Hisses (Part 1)
(from the Flatmate!Harry Series)
…in which Harry and Y/N are invited to a Halloween party, but they don’t arrive together (first Halloween as flatmates).
This takes place somewhere after Hand in Hand, Harry and Y/N are not yet together. This chapter is a Halloween Special so it’s a bit long that’s why I split it into two parts! ;)
Warning: mention of smut and nothing else but fluff
So a bit of rambling here but I was watching Reign and there was this character called Olivia who had a sexual relationship with Queen Mary’s fiancé — Prince Francis. She came back after years away from him then plotted to break up him and Mary. I don’t know who wrote that tv series but we sure share a same piece of mind! Anyway, you may now proceed.
.
There’s only one week left until Halloween and Y/N has been waiting for that day from the first of October. Harry has been complaining about the creepy skeleton in their living room which an old neighbor left for them when she moved away. Y/N placed it there not only to give their flat some Halloween vibe but also to scare the kids who come trick-or-treating. However, all it’s done so far is scaring the shit out of Harry whenever he comes home late.
“I should carry around with me a piece of paper saying ‘Y/N did it’ in case I die from a heart attack someday,” he tells her as he walks out from the kitchen with his coffee mug and joins her on the sofa.
“How do you get scared every single time even though you know it’s fake?” She asks while scrolling through Netflix on her laptop.
Harry squints his eyes at her in response. “You know those Halloween movies where a character approaches a ghost thinking it’s either decoration or a man in a costume, only to find out it’s really a ghost? Yeah that’s not gonna be me.”
Y/N stares at her flatmate in disbelief for a couple seconds before shaking her head and telling him, “you know what? Sometimes you’re just weird.”
“Thank you, baby.” He grins and brings the mug to his lips. And despite knowing he’s only joking with the nickname, Y/N cannot help but smile to herself.
She’s had a crush on him for a while now. Ironically she used to think he would be the last person she would fall for, but here she is, heart-eyes for her annoying flatmate no matter what he does or says.
People may see Harry as a tough guy who’s hard to approach, she knows he cries watching The Notebook every single time. They assume he doesn’t care about anyone else but himself, she knows he keeps a photo of his mum and sister in his wallet. They think he’s all about parties and one-night-stands, she knows he likes candles and homemade meals and staying in with a book on a rainy day. But then again, she also knows, no matter how much she thinks she knows him, she’s never going to be the girl he ends up with.
“Have you heard of Alex’s Halloween party?” Harry asks, receiving a nod from Y/N.
“Yeah, I’ve been invited actually.”
“Wait, really?”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Nothing, I didn’t know you were friends with Alex.”
“Why? Just because he’s popular?”
“No, because the guy’s a dick, and you’re—” Harry pauses then suddenly clears his throat and changes the subject, “anyway, are you coming?”
“No.”
“Why not?” Harry’s trying his best not to sound too disappointed, because he doesn’t want her to know he’s secretly wanting them to go together, not as a date, but kind of like a date.
“I promised Jamie I’d take him trick-or-treating that night.”
Harry raises an eyebrow at the girl. “Seriously? You’re going to babysit on Halloween? Where’s his mum?”
“She’s got a date.”
“You’re gonna sacrifice your night-out so our upstairs neighbor can go on a date?” He puts one hand on her shoulder and looking at her deep in the eyes, trying not to laugh. “Y/N, you’re not Halloween’s Santa Claus.”
Y/N shrugs his hand off her and rolls her eyes, resulting in a smirk on Harry’s face as he realizes she rolls her eyes at lot when talking to him. “I barely know anyone at the party. Alex only invited me because I helped him with his essay, and you don’t count because you never act like you know me in public.”
Harry breathes out a laugh as he hears her then rises from the sofa.
“Alright,” he says. “It’s your loss then.”
As Y/N shifts her attention back to her laptop screen, Harry brings his empty mug back to the kitchen, frowning when he turns away from her.
She wasn’t wrong when she said he never acted like he knew her, but that’s because he didn’t like her back then. Now, though he hates to admit it even to himself, he certainly likes her more than she may want him to.
...
Y/N suggests hiding their costumes from each other until Halloween night because she likes surprises. Harry doesn’t object to it but he hates that idea. He's dying to know what she’s going to wear because if she goes out wearing something too revealing, consider himself dead. It’s frustrating enough for him to get inappropriate thoughts about her once in a while, he doesn’t want to worry about others thinking about her the same way he does!
Well, lucky for him, Y/N chooses to stay true to who she is even on Halloween. When that night comes, she steps out from her bedroom in her costume, which is a long-sleeved, plain white dress, paired with a headband to which attached a halo made of feathers. Harry has never felt more relieved to see the safe length of the dress.
“Guess who I’m supposed to be!” She smiles cheerfully at him, putting her hands on her hips and playfully strikes a pose for her flatmate to get a better look of her appearance.
"A ghost?” Harry chuckles and Y/N huffs at his response.
“An angel! There’s literally a fake halo above my head!”
“Then where are your wings?”
“This is a low budget costume, I can’t afford a pair of wings.”
The way Y/N’s squinting her eyes at Harry makes his smile grow a little too big. She’s so adorable, so precious that he wants to comment something cheesy like ‘with or without all this, you’re still an angel’, but since they’re barely friends, he can’t say weird stuff like that, can he?
“What are you supposed to be?” she finally asks, gawking at him from head to toes.
He just looks so damn good in that white shirt with the suspenders and corduroy pants, and she also likes how his hair is all pushed back. It doesn’t matter who he’s dressed as, she’s already melting.
“Jack Dawson from Titanic,” Harry answers with a smug on his face. “I’ve been told I resemble young Leo.”
“How could they disrespect Leo like that?” Y/N scoffs, making Harry drop his jaw.
“Angels don’t mock their flatmates every chance they get! No wonder you’ve got no wings!”
“You deserved it for calling me a ghost!” Y/N flips her hair in a playful way, resulting a smirk upon Harry’s lips as she grabs her bag and heads to the door. “I gotta go now. Shouldn’t you already be on your way to the party?”
“I’m waiting for a friend.”
“Oh you’re going with Niall?”
“Uh...yeah, Niall.” He presses his lips into a small smile, already regretting agreeing to go with this girl Niall set him up with, but his flatmate does not need to know.
“Okay, have fun then!” Y/N opens the door and waves at him before she leaves. “And bring your key please! If you come home at 2AM and bang on the door, I’ll let you sleep in the hallway!”
“You will never get your wings with that attitude!” Harry shouts out, then quickly catches a glimpse of a secret smile on her face before the door is shut between them. That smile alone can keep him grinning at the entrance like an idiot, even a moment after she’s already gone.
...
“Thank you for looking after Jamie, Y/N.”
“No biggie.” Y/N smiles as she returns the little boy back to his mum then checks the watch on her wrist, it’s now 9PM, still too early for her to call it a night but already too late for her trick-or-treat companion. Jamie says goodbye to his babysitter then listens to his mum and goes to his room to change.
"How’s your date?” Y/N asks the young mum after his son’s left. She cannot help but stare at this woman’s sexy nurse costume, which is quite PG-13 for her six-year-old son, Y/N thinks to herself, but she won’t say that out loud of course.
“He was hot until he opened his mouth.” The woman rolls her eyes and leans a shoulder against the door. “Where’s your boyfriend?”
“Boyfriend?”
“The boy you brought here? The one you were handcuffed to?”
“Oh.” Y/N breathes out a laugh, and for some reason doesn’t bother to correct the lady’s false assumption. “He’s out with his friends.”
“And left you on your own on Halloween night when everyone out there is having sex?!”
Y/N immediately lowers her voice just in case Jamie can hear them. “Everyone’s having sex on Halloween night?”
“People tend to have lots of sex on special occasions, like New Year’s Eve, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Easter...”
Y/N widens her eyes.
“Aaaanyway, go get your man if you don’t want him to stick his dick in a random hole like my ex-husband did! That son of a bitch!” The young mum looks at the ceiling and heaves a sigh before turning back to the girl. “But make sure you’ve got the key before using those handcuffs again. Safety first, young lady!”
Y/N has to hold back her laughter as she thanks her upstairs neighbor for the ‘useful’ advice before heading back to the lift. Suddenly, a soft little voice stops her immediately.
“Y/N! Wait!”
Jamie runs past his mother toward Y/N, carrying his trick-or-treat bag. The boy hands it to her with both hands with a lovely smile on his face as he says, “here, have some more of my sweets!”
The offer catches Y/N by surprise, she shakes her head fast. “No, no, you keep them all, I’ve got a bunch already, remember?”
“These aren’t all for you. Share them with Harry!”
“You remember Harry?” Y/N giggles as she accepts the bag from the kid who nods his head.
“Yeah and I miss him. You should bring him here next time and we can play good cop, bad cop again!” Jamie bounces on his feet and swings his arms in excitement. So as not to disappoint the boy, Y/N gives him her word, that she’ll bring Harry the next time she comes over to babysit him.
“Wait, wait, there’s a card inside too! Open it!”
“A card?” Y/N chuckles as she searches through the bag and finds a colorful Halloween card, inside of which are a few simple words written in a six-year-old’s messy handwriting.
Happy Halloween!
Bugs and Hisses, Jamie.
“Aww, thank you, J! I love this a lot, and I’m sure Harry will too!” Y/N replies and bends down to kiss the boy on the forehead, telling him goodnight, and also goodbye.
Now Y/N hopes she can make it on time to see her flatmate before Halloween is over and before Harry ends up in the warm bed of another girl.
...
Y/N takes an Uber to Alex’s place, which is a bit far from where she lives. It takes more than a fourty-five-minute drive to get there, all for this boy she likes so much who probably doesn’t even consider her as his friend! Thinking about that makes Y/N feel so stupid.
Does she regret it? Yes.
Does she still want to go? Definitely!
Normally she never shows up alone at a loud and crowded place, to be surrounded by people she doesn’t know. Call her boring or whatsoever, but she would prefer to stay in her comfort zone. That is why the moment Y/N opens the door to Alex’s flat, and is greeted by the deafening music and a room packed with sweaty and drunk people, her whole body stiffens all at once.
It’s still not too late to walk out and go home then finish her night curled up in her bed enjoying a horror movies marathon. However, that’s not the option she’s going for tonight. She chooses to enter instead, pushing her way through the crowd to search for a familiar face and figure.
Then, she finds him at last.
He’s just not alone.
Harry’s standing in the corner, pressing up against a girl in a tiny leopard print dress. His mouth is attached to hers, his eyes are closed as he’s enjoying the heated kiss like nothing else matters. The way his fingers dance across the skin of the girl’s thighs make Y/N feel so uncomfortable.
She turns away, but she doesn’t want to leave. She would just be sad on the quiet drive back home so she might as well just be sad now in a room surrounded by other people and plenty of alcohol.
Y/N marches the counter at the back of the room where they keep the liquor then pours herself a glass, then stands with her back against the wall, watching drunk people making out, dancing like lunatics, and doing things they’re sure gonna regret when the morning comes. Then she feels thankful she’s not one of them.
“Well, well, well, looks who’s here!”
It’s going to be a lie if she says she’s not happy to hear his voice, but considering what she’s seen back there, Y/N does not wish to look at Harry’s face at the moment.
“Came all the way here for trick-or-treating?” he jokes and comes to stand beside her, leaning his back against the wall as well.
She just scoffs without looking at him. “Why are you here talking to me?”
“Because you’re standing alone? I deserve a thank you.”
She doesn’t reply. Harry starts to feel something is off because there’s only one explanation for her to act so coldly toward him and that is — he must have done something wrong.
“I thought you weren’t coming,” he says to her.
“I thought you came with Niall.” She shrugs and turns to look at him at last. “Who’s your date?”
“I don’t have a date.”
“You were sucking on her tongue a minute ago?”
“What? Are you jealous or something?”
“You wish!” Y/N snorts and crosses her arms in front of her chest, the thing she always does whenever she gets defensive. “I came because you sounded like you wanted me to. But here I am, alone at the back of the room as I expected.”
“I’m here with you now, aren’t I?” He playfully nudges her with his elbow but her expression stays unpleasant. “She’s not my date, I don’t even know her name!”
“Hey Harry!” Niall suddenly approaches the flatmates and he looks so stunned to see Y/N as well. “Why is Y/N here? I thought you came with Clarissa?”
“Ooooh, right, her name is Clarissa! See? I can’t even remember her name!” Harry fakes a nervous laugh but Y/N is not very amused with his lie. She brings the glass to her lips and gulps down the alcohol like it’s the only thing that keeps her sane at the moment. Niall and Harry exchange looks, neither dares to say a single word.
Then comes another one of Harry’s friends whom Y/N does not know, but let’s be real, Harry is probably friends with most of the people here.
“Hey guys, the party’s getting boring, let’s go!” the guy says in delight as he rubs his palms together. “Trix is sick, she cannot join us now we need another person.”
“Louis, how about Harry’s girlfriend?” Niall speaks up as he grabs Y/N by the arms and pushes her forward, toward this Louis guy. The seemingly older boy stares at the girl then his friend Harry, his eyes full of doubt.
“This is your girlfriend, Harold?”
“No!” Harry and Y/N deny at the same time.
“Okay then...” Louis squints his eyes and looks at Niall who secretly gives him a nod to confirm Harry’s and Y/N’s non-existent romantic relationship, as a result receives a death glare from Harry.
“Alright so now there are six of you, perfect, let’s go!” Louis says and turns to leave but Y/N’s hesitation stops him.
“Wait, go where?!” Is everybody here high or something? She thinks to herself.
“Wait for us in the car, I’ll explain it to her,” Harry tells his two friends, who agree and walk away to leave him behind with his bewildered flatmate.
“Harry, what’s going on?”
“Nothing, it’s just a fun Halloween tradition our group came up with for Halloween.”
“Oh my God!” Y/N covers her mouth to hold back a loud gasp as she gazes at him with cow eyes. “Are...Are you in a cult?!”
“What?” Harry laughs quietly. He has a love/hate relationship with Y/N’s worst assumptions whenever she freaks out. “No, Y/N, we’re not.”
The answer makes Y/N sigh in relief and Harry can only think about how much he wants to kiss her because she looks so cute under this lighting. Still he has to shake off that thought, now is the least appropriate.
“Last year Niall suggested that it would be fun to do something scary on Halloween, so he came up with the idea that one person would dare the rest of us to do a challenge and the winner or winners would receive a prize from the host. Last year Niall made us do a scavenger hunt in a cemetery. This year it’s Louis’ turn to come up with the challenge. Don’t worry, love, it’s all safe.”
“What is the challenge this year?”
“I don’t know, you have to get to the destination to find out.”
“Then how do you know it’s safe?!”
“It is! Trust me,” Harry chuckles and reaches out to grab her hand. “I’m not going to let anything bad happen to you. You’ve got to trust me.”
His voice sounds so soothing, it makes her wonder if he really does care about her or he just wants her participation in this because they’re missing one member, either way, it works. She cannot say no when he’s giving her that look and holding her hand so gently.
Eventually, Y/N nods her head, receiving a smile from her flatmate in return.
“If I die tonight, I’ll become a ghost and haunt you for the rest of your life.”
Her warning leaves a grin on his face. “Good. You’re already dressed like a ghost.”
“You must think you’re funny but you’re not.” Y/N glares at him as they head to the front door.
She’s too worried about this game with his group of friends to notice that he’s still holding her hand. Harry, on the other note, is well aware of that, still he’s very much enjoying it, and he just can’t wait to show her the real fun of Halloween.

I'm so sorry I keep hogging the all the ask, but what if for UF!sans, UF!Papyrus, G!Sans and G!Papyrus's s/o broke up with them, but about a week or two later the skeleton finds out it was only because the s/o's ex threatened to hurt the skeleton if they didn't break up him?
(Don’t you dare be sorry!!! I love your asks!!! Also I’m SO so sorry for not getting to this sooner, I got swamped with stuff to do then completely forgot about this T-T)
Underfell!Sans (Red)
At first, Red is completely devastated. He thinks that you got tired of putting up with everything wrong about him and kind of snaps. The break up is clean but very emotional because Red will go on about how if you no longer want to date him just tell him why because he’ll immediately think that everything about him pushed you away.
When you don’t give a reason, Red just shuts down. He wants to yell and sob but he knows that will just hurt you more and just solemnly accepts it.
He’ll change his status to single on all his social media and will change his pet name for you in his phone back to your regular name. If you’re living together, he has all his stuff moved out before the end of the day.
After that, the only time you will see him is if he’s with his brother and Edge insists on speaking with you.
During the week after the break up, Red is very very emotional and will either cry or throw a tantrum at a moments notice.
He didn’t know how to deal with having another living being having emotions for him, let alone how to pretend like those precious moments of you showering each other in affection and praise like it never happened.
Somehow though, Red found out your ex was threatening you to break up with him. The first thing he does is find your ex, shakes him up, and then drag him to you so he can apologize.
He would normally kill someone for threatening you, but since he wasn’t sure if you’d like your ex’s body to show up on the news the next day, he brings your ex’s battered but alive body to you as a peace offering.
He’ll understand if you wanna stay broken up but he wants to at least give you the peace of mind that you won’t be threatened by your ex anymore.
Although if you do get back with Red, he’ll be OVER THE MOON and won’t stop spoiling you for months.
Underfell!Papyrus (Edge)
Edge throws a bit of a temper tantrum, he doesn’t understand what he did wrong, he thinks he was doing just fine according to his dating manual but apparently he screwed up his relationship with you.
He won’t harm you in any way during his tantrum and his anger will be mostly directed at himself. He doesn’t cut off all ties with you immediately, the romantic part of him hoping you’ll call him and ask him to come back (which he would in .2 seconds and act like the break up never happened).
But when you don’t, he shuts himself in his room, only allowing himself to spend time with his cat Doomfanger and his brother. He keeps mulling over every second of time he spent with you, asking himself what he did wrong.
Eventually one of Edge’s and your mutual friends contacts him and tells him what’s going on.
Edge only hears the words “your ex” and “threatening” before launching himself out the window to find you. He doesn’t give you any time to respond, he just tells you that he doesn’t care that your ex has been threatening you.
He loves you and doesn’t fear your ex and will protect you if your ex comes around. First thing Edge does is try to call the cops on your ex but all he can manage to get out is that your ex is a sleazy bag of moldy onions (which obviously isn’t evidence allowed in court).
But the friend who called Edge in got some video and text evidence of the ex threatening you and you got a restraining order on the ex.
Which made Edge happy in every way, especially if you get back with him. (Although now he’s gonna be teaching you self-defense, whether you like it or not).
If you stay broken up with Edge, he respects your space and treats you as a friend, even though he’ll sometimes lapse back into habits he had as your boyfriend.
Gaster!Sans (G)
G is numb when you break up with him. He doesn’t ask why you’re breaking up with him, he just sort of chalks it up as it somehow being his fault. He’ll apologize for anything he did that made you break up with him and tells you he’ll respect your space and just…leaves.
He’ll take his motorcycle out and just drive his emotions out until he gets back to his home, completely exhausted. He doesn’t really cry but he lapses back into old habits he had as a bachelor and just tries to backpack through a foreign country until his emotions stop hurting.
In a twisty turn of events, G actually meets your ex in a club before he leaves town and the ex tries to harass G. At first G just brushes your ex off as someone who never got over the boogey man under his bed.
But then your ex whips out a picture of you on his phone and starts bragging about how easy it is to manipulate you and G snaps.
G slams your ex’s head into the bar and starts screaming insults at your ex while praising you for being an angel on this earth and how it’s a miracle a guy like him even got noticed by someone as pure as you.
A classic bar fight ensues (much to the owner’s chagrin) and both G and your ex end up in the hospital. G gets off easy (being a sentry in the royal guard has its perks) while your ex gets in trouble with Asgore’s Royal Guard for harassing you.
No matter the outcome, G is a smug skele.
If you get back with him, he’s gonna treat you like an angel and will take it upon himself to make sure you forget that ex, and does everything he can to make sure that you know your worth and that G will never let anything bad happen to you.
If you don’t get back with him then G will still stick around and act as a bodyguard until your ex gets out of town or you tell him to bug off.
Gaster!Papyrus (Aster)
Aster takes the break up very hard and may start crying on the spot, depending on how you tell him.He won’t start bawling in front of you, but some sniffles and tears may escape his attempt to appear calm.
He might apologize for taking up your time and asks that even if you don’t consider him your s/o anymore that you’ll still think of him as a friend and leaves.
Aster’s first instinct is to go find his brother and cry on his shoulder, he doesn’t really know what to do, and isn’t sure if he wants to stress eat or stress read and just clings to his brother while sobbing and asking for advice.
This poor boi has no idea how to handle a break up and will Google up a bunch of remedies. He’ll try to act as if nothing happened but at one point he can’t take it anymore and goes to find you to ask exactly what made you break up with him.
But when he finds you, he finds your ex shouting at you and acting very aggressive towards you while you just look at him with a blank look, not fighting back but just waiting for him to stop.
This infuriates Aster to the point where his magic starts manifesting in his hand.
No one treats you like that while he’s around.
Aster pulls the most intimidating face he can muster and just stands behind your ex until he stops ranting until he stops to look at Aster. Now, Aster is a pacifist by nature, you’ve never seen him so much as swat at a fly, but right now he looks ready to stab your ex.
Aster uses his huge height to his advantage and tells your ex in a scarily calm manner that he’s being an abusive jerk and if he doesn’t apologize to you and leave you alone, he’ll call the police and have them handle your ex.
The ex obviously tries to play victim and says he’s been doing nothing wrong but that has no effect on Aster and Aster repeats again that your ex owes you an apology for being rude and threatens to take this to the police again.
The ex looks ready to fight but an off-duty cop who was passing by stops and confronts the ex. Aster calmly explains his side of the story before your ex launches into a tantrum about how HE’S the victim of Aster’s threats and tries to play innocent.
But one quick check with you to see what’s up, the ex gets arrested for harassment and is taken away.
Aster doesn’t wait until the ex is gone, he just immediately goes to your side and asks if you’re okay and that he’s so sorry he didn’t come to help you sooner and is there anything you need him to do for you.
Aster really wants to become your boyfriend again but if you just want to remain friends, he’ll understand and will stand by you until the ordeal with ex is solved.
If you do get back together, this pure beanpole will treat you like royalty and vows right then and there that he’ll treat you like the most precious artifact in the universe and may or may not accidentally trick people into thinking this is a heartfelt proposal.
(Seriously, there were people with cameras out who got very confused when he didn’t take a ring out of his pocket when he was done confessing his love for you).

This week’s bonus content brings us Jake and John discussing the likelihood of a robot apocalypse:
JAKE: Hey there pal! JAKE: So youre jades... brother? JOHN: that's right! JOHN: compared to how confusing everyone else's family trees are, we are very straight forward. JOHN: even if we did not know we were related at first... JOHN: i wasn't sure how YOU were related to her, back when you were pen pals. JOHN: do you remember sending me that letter? JAKE: By jove i almost forgot about that. It feels like ages ago. JOHN: i don't know how long it was for you, but i got it three years ago. JAKE: I mean from my point of view it was only a couple of months but a lots gone on. JOHN: it arrived on my birthday so it was right on time. JOHN: it came in handy in a tight spot. JOHN: you were right in your letter, i DO love movies. JOHN: even if i am not into wrestling that much. JAKE: Oh well ive had my fill of fisticuffs for awhile anyway. Movies on the other hand i havent had much time to dig into! JAKE: By the way did you like your present?? And little terry kiser? JOHN: um... JOHN: well, i named her liv tyler, actually. i didn't know you already named her, or him. JOHN: anyway, she saved my butt in a big way! JOHN: and then she flew off on a ship heroically, but ran off again i guess? JOHN: and then she somehow joined dave and rose on their even more heroic mission to blow up a sun. JOHN: which they failed to do mostly because they actually MADE the sun, but the important thing is that they tried. JOHN: they came back, but i think the bunny didn't make it. :( JAKE: I live by the philosophy that when a stuffed toy changes hands its appropriate to change its name. It gives things a history like that. JAKE: At least she died doing something i presume she enjoyed. JOHN: blowing up? JAKE: No!! Being a hero and dicing up bad guys! JOHN: was the robot sentient? JOHN: maybe we should have treated it with more respect, so it would not turn evil and destroy us like a watership down version of skynet. JAKE: I mean dirk helped me a little in making it and all of his projects seem to enjoy that kind of mayhem. JAKE: Not as much as his own version of the rabbit but i think in giving me advice at least a couple of his engine greased fingerprints are on it. JOHN: man, everyone is some sort of robotics genius around here. JOHN: if we hadn't already had an apocalypse ushered in by rogue technology i would be worried. JAKE: I briefly suspected hal but no worries. JAKE: I think if he were going to attempt a robopocalypse he wouldve done it a long time ago when he was bored and had less to do. JOHN: he and terezi would get along. they both seem to enjoy wreaking mayhem for fun, although she says she's sorry now. JAKE: They might try but dirk would go spare. JAKE: And I think hes tossed out all his spares for today already. JOHN: everyone has learned their lesson about devious deeds! JOHN: i'm confident that will not happen in the future. JOHN: instead we can relax and do things like watch that movie you were recommending. JAKE: Oh yeah!! JAKE: Which one did i recommend again? I think it was weekend at bernies. JOHN: the one about the corpse getting moved around to trick people? JAKE: Oh yes! Two gentlemen discover that their boss has died shortly before throwing a party and try to convince people hes still alive by puppeting his body around! Its really quite hilarious! JOHN: it sounds good. JOHN: although apparently i'm already locked in to watching a few others. JOHN: including dave's? JOHN: i can't believe he became a big deal movie star in your world, that's hilarious. JAKE: He did. Ive got one of his characters tattooed on my arm! JOHN: um JOHN: you do? JOHN: wow. JOHN: have you told him that? JAKE: Not yet. Should i? JOHN: you might actually make him speechless, which would be a first. JOHN: definitely try it. JOHN: wait, which one is it anyway? JOHN: also, how did you get a tattoo? JOHN: i thought you grew up alone or something, like jade did. JAKE: Ive got sweet bro. Dirk gave it to me after we met up! JAKE: Hes got hella jeff. We match! JAKE: Let me tell you it was a harrowing thing getting it! Id heard getting a tattoo really hurts but you know what i just closed my eyes and before i knew it it was over just like that. JOHN: ... JOHN: huh. JOHN: well, that sounds exciting. i'm sure he'll be thrilled. JOHN: none of us have ever shown that level of devotion. JOHN: mostly we just repeat his shitty memes. JAKE: Dirk takes memes to a whole new level pal. JOHN: i haven't really had a chance to meet him before this. JOHN: i've been missing out on so many reunions today, maybe because i keep bouncing around taking people places. JOHN: out of you guys i've mostly talked to jane and roxy. JOHN: and i only talked to jane once! JOHN: i'm already behind. JAKE: Oh im sure youll get along great! Hes a cool dude and super smart. A little odd but he genuinely means well. JOHN: i'm looking forward to meeting everyone! JOHN: wait, i did meet him once, that's right. JOHN: back in the bad timeline, i saw him floating in space and asked him what happened, because i'd just come back from fighting calliope's brother. JOHN: but all he said was 'i failed' and then he... turned into glitter? JOHN: there were lots of glitches floating around, it was a hazard. JOHN: hopefully we can overcome that first impression. JAKE: ...yeah that sounds like dirk. JAKE: He can be pretty dramatic. JOHN: rose and dave are super dramatic too, he'll fit right in. JOHN: with all of us together it's going to be all drama all the time. JOHN: it will be up to us normal people to keep things under control. JAKE: He grew up all alone so sometimes i think he only knows how to act from movies too but who knows. Maybe it runs in families. JAKE: Family. Weird. JAKE: Hey that means were family too arent we? JOHN: i guess so! JOHN: you're my... JOHN: hm. JOHN: relative. JAKE: Relative. I guess. JAKE: I cant exactly go calling you great uncle john even if i still call jade "grandma". JAKE: Has a ring to it though! Great uncle john! Its all folksy like poppop crocker. JOHN: that's right, i was jane's grandpa in your universe, i guess. JOHN: which is also weird to think about. JOHN: and i was sort of everyone's dad, by mixing our slimes. JOHN: so it keeps getting more outrageous. JOHN: as for knowing how to act from movies... JOHN: i didn't even grow up alone, and i think sometimes i have that problem. JOHN: you want your life to make sense that way! JOHN: but real life is a lot more complicated sometimes. JAKE: Yeah!! JAKE: God yes it is. ESPECIALLY when it comes to romance. Good grief. JOHN: i know! JOHN: the movies make it look like it's essential or something, when usually in real life it mostly seems to cause trouble. JOHN: but you can't get a good ending otherwise, unless you accomplish that and a bunch of other arbitrary criteria. JOHN: most of which we haven't accomplished ourselves, but i think we're going to get a good ending anyway. JOHN: still it can mess with your head. JOHN: real life is not like the movies, that's for sure. JAKE: Its hard to have a romance going when your life is constantly under threat by skeleton monsters. JAKE: Also your first time seeing another person in ten years and your first boyfriend happen on like the same day. JOHN: see, that's how it happens in the movies sometimes. JOHN: the main characters meet up and get together right away, and i guess you have to assume it all works out, because the movie ends. JOHN: but when you're actually doing things it is not that convenient, you have to keep going. JOHN: although i hope we're going to get a break soon. JOHN: i would be happy for the credits to close on the constant heroics and dying for a while. JAKE: Me too. JAKE: I want a nap. Without an evil spider troll waking me up. JAKE: Movies also dont tell you how tiring the whole rigmarole of adventure is. JOHN: the main characters always look great, if fashionably ruffled, and they can keep going no matter what. JOHN: but i'm kind of tired. JOHN: especially since i've lived through the same hours twice in places i think? JAKE: You and your weird time travel nonsense again huh? JOHN: i will probably be mostly retiring that, i wouldn't want to cause any more trouble. JOHN: for now it looks like everything is turning out fine on its own. JAKE: Yessir i think were on the right path now and as soon as were done here im gonna take a long nap and anyone who cares to wake me up can throw down about it even if they are a hitherto-perfectly nice troll lady. Or human lady. Or anyone else. JAKE: The suplex of slumber justice is unisex. JOHN: that's the spirit! JOHN: we will all pass out and righteously beat up any one who disturbs us. JOHN: except hopefully once we are settled somewhere a little less exposed. JOHN: if we were asleep here someone might roll off. JAKE: But we can fly? JAKE: Where would we even fall? Towards the frog since its like a planet? Or... down? Were being pulled down by gravity i guess but how can we fall down if theres just space? JAKE: Would we float in our sleep? Maybe just get sucked back to the victory platform? JOHN: that sounds like a question for jade, she's more interested in how this works. JOHN: i told her science was dumb and boring if it didn't work the way i wanted, which made her upset, but i guess i got what i wanted. JOHN: so hah. JAKE: So science works how you want now? JAKE: Are you ganking my power set young man?? JOHN: not all of science, just space and time i guess. JOHN: and all of the scientific laws i am violating with my wanton displacement of matter and energy. JOHN: what ever those laws might be. JOHN: i am not a scientist or lawyer. JOHN: or science lawyer. JAKE: You fiend. Ah well as long as you dont go abusing your power im sure nothing terrible will happen. Like you flap your windy hood and cause a hurricane down south like an errant butterfly of causality. JOHN: well, i sort of lured lord english here, but i had to to save calliope, and we had to fight him anyway, so hopefully you can let that slide. JOHN: like i said, i will be taking it easy from now on. JAKE: I hear you there. Im over here asking myself do i even want to go wandering around this wonderland of dreaminess or do i just want to curl up over in that edge of the lily pad and have a nice snooze? JAKE: You know i can nap almost anywhere. I consider it a talent. JAKE: I have fallen asleep on clear grassy hills except thats probably not a good thing because centaurs can track through at any moment and they arent too careful about where they step! JOHN: jade was like that too! JOHN: although it MIGHT have partly been a troll messing with her brain again? JOHN: trolls sure are meddlesome. JOHN: anyway, this is probably our last chance to explore the dream bubbles, so maybe hold off on the naps until later. JOHN: also, centaurs? JAKE: Centaurs! JAKE: Oh yeah did i never say my island was full of alien monsters? JAKE: Because my island was full of alien monsters. JOHN: wow, your life actually WAS like a movie. JOHN: no wonder it was tempting to see yourself as an action hero. JOHN: everyone else had such weird and dramatic childhoods. JOHN: i don't have many bragging rights but JOHN: i liked mine. JOHN: i guess i'm one of the people that actually... left something ok behind? JOHN: but that's fine! because there can be ok things in the future too. JOHN: or hopefully more than ok. JAKE: I hope so. JAKE: I mean most things would probably be better than having to keep an eye out for monsters while walking to the pantry for canned friggin beets. JAKE: Not that i couldnt handle myself but beets arent worth that much. JOHN: bluch, no. JOHN: jade kept trying to make us eat our vegetables. JOHN: it was terrible. JOHN: she doesn't even know about lunchables. JAKE: My grandma ONLY stocked veggies. JAKE: And this weird stuff called spam. JOHN: i think our jade would probably have a heart attack if she saw spam. JOHN: although she does like raw beef these days. JOHN: which is a little alarming if you see her eat it. JAKE: I think she mostly included it as a courtesy to me and also i dont think theres many other great ways to keep meat. JAKE: So i hunted! Hopefully most of those creatures were edible and i didnt give myself any weird diseases. JOHN: the rest of you were like man versus wild! JOHN: including dave and rose kind of, even though they lived in real houses. JOHN: i will have to catch up if we are in some sort of survivor situation in the new universe. JOHN: i'm not really sure how that will pan out. JAKE: Youll be fine. Well watch your back! JAKE: Dirk will probably like. Invent a house if you give him long enough. JAKE: Just stick with jane and youll be fine. Shes kind of like you in that she also had a pretty cushy upbringing if you count out the assassination attempts. JAKE: Not that i hold it against her anything. We all take our lumps as theyre given. I mean she also has a dead grand- JAKE: Wait a minute. JAKE: Did you say you were...? JAKE: *Suspicious squinting.* JOHN: what? JAKE: Janes... JAKE: Poppop? JOHN: i... guess so? JOHN: that would make sense, she was my nanna. JOHN: oh man, was i also crushed to death by a flying baby? JOHN: that would be so undignified. JAKE: But hold the damn phone!! JAKE: You were ALSO jades brother in my timeline! JAKE: So if you were siblings and youre also janes poppop... JAKE: Would that make her and i... related?? JOHN: um... JOHN: not genetically? JOHN: but i think you were adopted siblings in our world. JAKE: !! JOHN: she grew up with a brother under a wicked alien queen. JOHN: which was betty crocker! JOHN: and the troll empress. JOHN: it is all connected. JAKE: So we were always family! JAKE: Gosh shell be so surprised to find out i bet. Just over the moon. JOHN: who doesn't want more family? JAKE: Of course! Good gravy aint that just like a movie. So many of us grow up without any family to speak of and we find out we were all family all along! JAKE: Consarnit id even call that some kind of irony. JOHN: at least it's a pretty crazy coincidence. JOHN: except since skaia set it up that way it's not a coincidence at all. JAKE: The chilly wind of fate whips through our unshielded undercarriages. JAKE: Get out of there skaia that zone is closed for business! JAKE: Its not enough to be whipping round my legs its gotta go and nab my shorts too... JAKE: Well ive had the last laugh. Ive got PANTS now! AND family! HAH! JOHN: well, fate or coincidence or whatever, I'M happy about it. JOHN: and i think both pants and family are important.
