Having Too Many Feelings™ about Lady Macbeth today.
#specifically how a lot of people consider her to have o/c/d (she does) and a lot of this is tied to The Blood-Washing Scene where she#sees bodily fluids that aren't there and can't ever feel clean (which. yes. definitely a symptom) but there is SO MUCH OTHER STUFF#that suggests that she has this illness beyond that. stuff that's present before then.#she prays to supernatural forces to take away her emotions/vulnerability because she feels out of control#everything she does is defined by Guilt™ even BEFORE the Big Monologue™#there's the aforementioned Prayer To Spirits. there's the fact that she's so overcome with guilt during the FIRST STAGE OF THE PLAN#because one of the guys they need to kill sort of vaguely reminds her in passing of her dead dad and she feels Bad™#there's the fact that her grab for power and desire to be literally anyone other than who she is are compulsive. she can't be good enough#for her husband she can't be good enough for herself gaining power is a manifestation of perfectionism that she doesn't have the#vocabulary to describe or the awareness to realize#she's in her head all the time and all of these are compulsions albeit really fucked up ones that most people suffering from this don't have#and somehow despite being on the heels of assuming that people suffering from this were possessed by the devil (which like. adds a whole#other thing when stacked against the fact that what she's doing WILL CONDEMN HER TO HELL ACCORDING TO GENERALLY ESTABLISHED BELIEFS#and I highly doubt she doesn't know this. but she's willing to risk hell to give her husband something and to give herself peace while alive#she's willing to risk that damnation anyway) DESPITE that being the prevailing opinion of people with o/c/d and not having any sort of#widely-recognized or helpful medical knowledge/treatment. shakespeare STILL managed to capture what this illness is like and STILL made her#this complex and tragic and sympathetic character and he did all of that WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING WHAT THIS ILLNESS IS AND I HAVE A LOT OF#FEELINGS ABOUT IT#I got to go on a Tear™ about this character to my bestie the other day which calmed the storm a little bit but I NEED TO SCREAM ABOUT HER#I NEED TO WRITE 50 MORE PAGES OF ANALYSIS ABOUT THIS CHARACTER DOING IT ONCE AS MY UNDERGRAD CAPSTONE WAS NOT ENOUGH#I NEED TO PLAY HER#I NEED EVERYONE IN THE WORLD TO LOVE AND UNDERSTAND HER LIKE I DO

My video "A LAWYER'S EVIDENCE that Mike and Will become a romantic pair in Stranger Things" is out!
youtube
Many of you have followed me ( @teambyler ) or read my essays analyzing Byler (I've linked some of the most-shared ones below). I am actually also a LAWYER who has a YouTube channel called RONALD OFF THE RECORD, and I just released my big video on Byler! (I also have another YouTube channel with 45K subscribers that I mention in the video)
I'm prepared to put my professional reputation as a lawyer on the line to comment on a piece of science fiction, because goddammit this is important to me! It is not "delusional" to think Will and Mike will become a couple, and there is nothing wrong with you if want it to happen! This is a video essay I've been planning for at least SIX MONTHS, and I put a lot of work into it. Please share, and please leave comments. Enjoy! =D
0:00 Why this video 1:38 Hate for Byler on the internet 10:16 Case for Mileven 15:21 Case for Byler: Starting premises 17:56 If Will were a girl… 25:30 The evidence! 29:05 EXHIBIT A: The Snow Ball 31:34 B: Mike's reactions to El and Will being upset 34:21 C: Season 3 ending montage 39:16 D: Airport reunion 47:51 E: Rink-O-Mania argument 51:28 F: Heteronormativity, audience expectations 58:25 G: Throwing away the letter 59:55 H: 2nd heart-to-heart scene 1:05:43 I: Mike can't say he loves El 1:13:27 J: Platonic reunion 1:15:12 K: Will's role convincing Mike to say "I love you" 1:20:08 L: Effect of the "love confession" on El 1:39:54 M: The Painting Lie 1:43:22 Honorable mentions 1:45:27 Non-diegetic evidence 2:01:23 Actor statements 2:10:34 NOT how you write an unrequited love story 2:16:07 Why Byler SHOULD happen (queerbaiting, etc.) 2:28:21 A more powerful story 2:35:45 A personal note
I'm now making this my new pinned post, so I'll list a few of my posts here for people to check out.
ADDITIONS: -28:00 On "We should normalize same-sex friends being affectionate, they don't have to be gay," I should have been clearer. HOMOPHOBIA is the reason for that stigma. Straight friends feeling like they can be affectionate in our society HAS to include normalizing LGBT+ people. -1:16:55 I should've said this more clearly: Will reminded Mike that who HE is, HIS unique qualities, make him worthy of love and make El love him, not dumb luck. And Will of course could convey that because Will loves the actual nerd MIke and everything he is. -1:17:06 Mike making El "not feel like a mistake" doesn't fit El, because she says that Mike looks at her "like I'm a monster, too". Nor did she "push you away because she was afraid of losing you". That's Will, not El. Mike felt love because Will was describing himself. -1:52:36 I forgot to mention that, in the original Nina opera, Nina's lover is ALIVE and DOES return. The Duffers changed the story so that Nina's lover does NOT return, to further suggest Mike won't return! -2:35:22 I'm kicking myself for not being more specific about Mike and Will being heroes in more than one way: I think the theme of bullying from s1 will return, with Will (and also Mike) having to face bullying for being boyfriends in Hawkins.
EDIT: I hit 1000 subs, only to discover THIS VIDEO CANNOT BE MONETIZED. ='( I think I put over 100 hours of work in this video, and this isn't sustainable for me unless I get support. This also means I can't make public videos with the same quality -- using show clips and music makes a stronger impact. I've considered deleting and reposting an edit, but that would losing all the wonderful comments and CUTTING OUT THE LAST SCENE. ='( ='( ='( NO. FUCKING. WAY.
So this is what'll happen: future videos NOT use clips and music to the same extent, except versions I post on my Patreon. And I need Patrons because I don't make money as a social-justice lawyer, and rely on that plus YouTube ads. Here's the Patreon link! (Any future video will be clipped, with the full version on Patreon) https://www.patreon.com/c/theruleslawyer
Some other @teambyler posts:
Mike was saying "I love you" to Will
Questions to ask if ever you have Byler doubt
How the Duffers have set Will up to have a happy ending in Season 5
The most heartbreaking way Byler can culminate (and how I predict it will) (I know this is less likely than an "escape from Camazotz" possession scenario, but I still want this to happen =D )
How the Duffers likely will make the general audience AWARE of Byler and CHEER for Byler

❝ regressor alphabet + stiles stilinski ❞
list from this post!
for the bestie @bebbie-bilinski !! I wanted to try this out & stiles seemed like the perfect excuse lol
feel free to request regressor alphabet or caregiver alphabet for anyone on my character list
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A - activities [What are their favorite activities to do while regressed?]
loves to watch movies! lounging around is his preferred activity while regressed, but also scribbling away on a white board is pretty fun for him (he keeps a separate one for when he’s small)
B - blankies [Do they have a favorite blanket? What does it look like?]
he has a blue fleece blanket that he Carrie’s around with him pretty much everywhere but also some halloween themed ones & a wolf one [like mentioned in this post] but those stay at home most of the time so they don’t get ruined
C - cuddles [Do they enjoy cuddling? How do they like to cuddle?]
loves to cuddle- with certain people. noah, scott & derek are probably his favorite people to cuddle with, he likes to lay over derek taking up as much space as possible but likes to cuddle into scott’s side, and he basically lays with noah in any position he can get himself into. bonus: he lets malia wrap him up in her arms and she loves it
D - dinner [What is their favorite meal to eat for dinner when regressed?]
he loves those cheap kids dinners, kid cuisines and other microwaveable stuff that he’d normally avoid while big because they usually aren’t the healthiest
E - emotions [Do they get emotional when they regress? Do any emotions trigger them to regress?]
it can go either way! sometimes he’s very sensitive and needs constant reassurance or an outlet for his emotions asap but sometimes nothing really bothers him. he definitely clings to scott, derek & noah while he’s feeling more emotional, sometimes peter too
F - food [What are their favorite foods or snacks to eat when regressed?]
very basic but he loves bottles & any “kid” food like fruit snacks, chicken nuggets, puffs, etc
G - giggles [What makes them laugh? What do they find funny?]
pretty much anything but sarcasm is always a hit even while stiles is regressed
H - hugs [Do they like hugging? When do they hug?]
prefers laying with someone but hugs are almost always welcome! the only time he’ll refuse a hug is if he’s annoyed or overstimulated
I - imagination [Do they use their imagination a lot when playing?]
it depends on what kind of mood he’s in. occasionally he’ll play pretend if another little is around, like if liam is over for a play date, but most of the time he prefers to bring real life things into his playtime. for example, he’ll dig up some lore (with a caregivers help) and make a game out of figuring out how to take down said bad guy or whatever it is
J - jammies [Do they have a pair of pajamas they wear when going to bed? What does it look like?]
usually fleece pajama pants & a t shirt or hoodie but he owns a few pairs of pajamas that are considered more childish, he also likes to steal his caregivers clothes and wear those as pajamas
K - kissies [Do they like (platonic) kisses? Do they like to give or receive them?]
definitely prefers to receive them but will give them out to certain people, namely lydia, malia & scott. he likes forehead & cheek kisses the best, especially derek’s cause he’s so gentle about it
L - lullabies [Do they have a favorite lullaby to listen to as they go to sleep?]
he likes when melissa or scott sing Somewhere Over The Rainbow but other than that he prefers to have a white noise machine going
M - movies [What is their favorite movie to watch when regressed? What genre is it?]
blues clues & bluey are his favorite!! literally any episode or movie of either of those
N - nicknames [Do they have any preferred nicknames they would want a cg to use?]
he’s pretty flexible with nicknames but he loves when peter calls him munchkin in specific
O - oops! [Do they tend to be clumsy or make a lot of mistakes when regressed?]
good lord is he clumsy as all hell, he’s clumsy as is but when he’s regressed it gets 10x worse. anyone that’s ever watched over him knows to carry bandaids for the inevitable scrapes he’ll get doing just about anything
P - pacifier [Do they like to use pacis? What does their paci look like?]
loves pacifiers!! he prefers the plain ones that aren’t decorated but he does have two or three deco ones that are specifically made for him per gifts from the pack
Q - quiet time [Do they enjoy quiet activities? What do they like to do during quiet time?]
as said before, quiet activities are his preferred option when regressed. coloring & reading are his favorites if he can’t watch Tv
R - regression [How often do they regress? How do they behave when they regress?]
he tries to keep his regression to a schedule where he goes small once a week but it’s really a gamble on if he can stick to it as he involuntarily regresses a lot & can sometimes have trouble regressing on purpose
S - stuffies [Do they have stuffed animals? What are their names? What do they look like?]
soooo many stuffies but most are kept at derek’s house except for a stuffed wolf scott got him that he takes almost everywhere, a blues clues stuffie he also carries around and some keychain plushies that hang on his baby bag
T - temper [Do they have a temper? Do they throw temper tantrums often, or at all?]
he doesn’t kick and scream on the ground but he can get grumpy/moody in certain situations, he’s also more comfortable throwing a “tantrum” per say if it’s a certain person watching him (ie can he get away with it lol)
U - upset [How do they express being upset when regressed?]
glaring, crossed arms, tears and whining are the most common ways stiles will show he’s upset
V - voice [Do they speak in a different tone of voice when regressed? How is it different from their normal voice?]
he mumbles a bit and likes to babble when he gets into a really young headspace, derek, noah & allison are about the only ones able to decipher what he’s actually saying (allison the baby whisperer is real to me!!)
W - warm [What makes them feel all warm and fuzzy?]
having the pack all together for a movie night or an outing and being able to regress around them without worrying about a threat popping up or anything - also being carried, he loves it
X - (e)xtra [Additional headcanons?]
he’s autistic & has adhd! not necessarily an agere headcanon but it’s important yall know this
Y - yucky! [What do they dislike?]
loud noises, he can handle the pack being rowdy or traffic outside but he hates any banging or really angry yelling, also doesn’t like the sounds of whips cause of the ghost riders
Z - Zzz [What are some sleep habits of theirs? Do they take naps often? Do they have a specific time for naps or bedtime?]
he tried a nap schedule for a while but it always failed for one reason or another so it soon adapted to just be “sleep when you’re tired and have time” but sometimes derek will make time for a nap because stiles can get cranky when he’s tired

C H I L D 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LISTS: ANON LIST, MASTERLIST, RULES
Knight's of Favonius' thoughts on having children with their s/o!
a/n: it is currently 2:22 in the morning. this took so long, somehow came out short, did not come out good for some characters, so I’ll probably re-write soon fgirjgirgiuhuwireusf-
*EDITED PARTS: AETHER*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*GENDER NEUTRAL READER*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Includes: Aether, Albedo, Amber, Eula, Jean, Kaeya, Lisa, Lumine, Noelle, Sucrose
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AETHER:
AW, YES HE DOES!
REGARDLESS OF YOUR GENDER/SEXUALITY, HE WANTS CHILDREN
he definitely wants 3 kids
he thinks back to when him and Lumine were little, and how they had always wanted a little sibling!
at first he wasn’t sure about it, and wasn’t sure he’d have enough time to love them, however you used your magical Aether taming powers to convince him :D
you would eventually end up with two little girls, and a little boy!
the first to come were you’re girls, you had/adopted twins :D!
what a coincidence 
the one who’s older (by 2 minutes but whatever) was named Lumi after Lumine, she was very gentle and loving, and always looked out for her sister and brother :)
she had a dream of healing others after seeing her Auntie Barbara heal her father’s wounds from a battle with the Fatui
she spent lots of time with Barbara as a little girl, which led to her eventually meeting Rosaria, who took a liking to her
Rosaria was surprised she took such a big interest in your child, considering she usually found people like her annoying
Rosaria had seen she was better with her smarts rather than physical capabilities, and so she taught Lumi to fight :>
Lumi’s weapon of choice is a catalyst, and her weapon is a spellbook named the “Book of Dawn”
Lumi was granted a Geo vision, and her skill creates an extremely durable shield of Geo rocks, and after the shield is activated, all her attacks until it disappears with heal her party members up to 5000 HP per attack :0
her burst creates 5 GIANT rock pillars that cover different areas and deal continuous Geo damage while healing your other party members!
she would eventually grow up to move to Inazuma and open her own medical clinic, helping children all over Teyvat!
the younger one you two named Vira, because she is very strong and feisty, and she’s also fiercely protective of those who she loves, not for specific reason, but she’s just naturally like that
Vira has insane physical capabilities, and was granted a PYRO vision for her passion of saving others
she has dreamed of becoming a Knight of Favonius ever since seeing your father in battle
after she poured her dreams to you two, you were both hesitant to let her follow her dreams due to how dangerous it was but after quite a bit of resistance from her, you both caved
Aether decided to ask Diluc to meet her, in hopes of them getting along
little did he know, they would become inseperable
when she was older, he would let her intern at the tavern
he trained her to fight, and her weapon of choice also became a claymore
her ultimate move infuses her weapon with Pyro and every time she hits her opponent, it creates an explosion
her skill creates a small pyro lion similar to Xiangling’s Gouba :D
she would eventually grow up to become a strong captain in the Knights Of Favonius!
now for your son :>
he is two years younger than the girls, and you two named him Liam!
Liam is sadly mute due to an Abyss Mage accident when he was young, however he’s okay!
at the age of 8, he was granted a CRYO vision after being bullied by some towns children :(
of course Aether showed ‘em
Liam was always fascinated by the history of visions, and spent a lot of time in the library with Lisa!
Lisa eventually taught him to fight, and his weapon of choice is a spear!
he is a mix of his sisters, very sweet and loving but he also had a very strong and fierce side!
his elemental skill creates an ice turret that deals continues Cryo damage to his surrounding opponents! 
his burst creates a second vision made of Cryo energy, and it bursts all of his abilities (HP, speed, damage, etc.) for the duration of his burst :D!
he would eventually grow up to be a professer of vision history at Sumeru Acadamia!
KAEYA:
Tumblr media
he’s kind of neutral towards having a child
isn’t against it, but if you want one he’ll be okay with that !
but no more than 2
he doesn’t really know why, he just doesn’t really want a big family
which is why....
you two ended up with a daughter !
she is stunningly beautiful btw
you ended up naming her Riley
she unfortunately  picked up some of her fathers habits and now is a tiny female Kaeya
at the age of 7, she was granted an electro vision, for her different styles!
people often thought she was weird due to the way she dressed, but after a certain outburst about how she was allowed to do and dress as she pleased she was granted her vision!
Riley gets along best with: Auntie Rosaria, Aunt Amber, and Ms. Jean
she would eventually grow up to follow in her Aunts’ footsteps, becoming the captain of the Outrider Regiment (which she revived!!!)
LUMINE:
U H
sorry but i don’t really think she’d really want children :(
instead of children, you guys would have mannnnny pets
like over 5 dogs, 3 cats, and more. 
so a lot-
your dogs’ names are: Aeth, rufus, miles, ben, porky, meatball, pinky, rosalinda, and muggs
LISA:
Tumblr media
she rather likes the idea!
now this was not planned at all,
however, you two ended up with a son!
you ended up naming him..
MARCO!!!
he’s a very kind and proper child!
he’s an avid reader, and spends days with his mother in the library reading while she “works”! (yes I put the “” I had to-)
he is insanely smart, however he has a weak body and often becomes ill :(
however, he was determined to become a great wind glider after seeing his Auntie Amber glide!
because of his determination, he was granted an Anemo vision!
thx venti
Marco gets along best with: Auntie Amber (ofc-), Ms. Barbara, and Ms. Sucrose!
Marco would eventually grow up to be an outrider! he would also become Mondstadt’s next gliding champion!
good for marco
NOELLE:
Noelle is not against it one bit!
she loves the idea of starting a family with you! and you two do!
you end up being blessed with two wonderful sons and a daughter!
your first son was named Noah, and he was granted a PYRO vision after realizing his passion for adventuring!!
your second child was your daughter, who was blessed with a HYDRO vision for her dedication to her helping people! she was named Lillith
your last son was named Aiden, but unfortunately he never received a vision :( 
he had passed away at the age of 4 from terrible sickness it broke everyone’s hearts, but sadly the truth had to be faced
anyways, Noah gets along best with: Mr. Bennett, Ms. Fischl and Oz, and Ms. Amber!!
he would eventually grow up to become the grand master of the Adventurers Guild!
Lillith on the other hand, gets along best with: Ms. Amber, Ms. Barbara, and Uncle Aether!!
she would grow up to become a maid of the Knights of Favonius!
SUCROSE:
Tumblr media
Our shy alchemist is.... neutral
it’s not like she doesn’t want one its just, she worries
she worries that because she’s so busy all the time, she won’t have enough time for the child
HOWEVER, after some convincing on your end, our alchemist agreed!
you two ended up having one son, named Arrow!
Arrow is a very curious child, and learned this from Sucrose!
he took an interest to something, however instead of alchemy, it was music!
like Sucrose, he has a passion for his special hobby!
however, his music was rejected by most people, and called weird and stupid
but he never gave up, and kept pushing
eventually, he pushed hard enough to earn himself an ELECTRO vision!
Arrow gets along best with: Deaconess Barbara, Mr. Aether, and Ms. Lisa!
eventually his music would be loved by all, and he would start a professional music career :D
JEAN:
Tumblr media
Jean is... not against it!
in fact, the grand master loves the idea!
she knows she can protect her children, and she will
however, she was concerned about a few things
1, she is concerned she won’t have time for the kiddos, considering her role within the Knights
2, she is concerned she won’t be a good mother
of course, you are quick to shut these worries down, saying:
“Oh Jean, dear, I’m sure you’ll have time for them! If not, it’s okay! It happens, and also, you’ll be a fantastic mother! I’m sure of it.”
“Really..?”
“Of course really!” you said giving her a light peck on the cheek
you two ended up with three children, all girls!
your first daughter was named Vanessa, after the savior of Mondstadt
she was granted a DENDRO vision at age 10 for showing here true thirst for knowledge!
she has a personality very similar to Jean’s, except she is exceptionally smart and very skilled in battle
her weapon of choice is a claymore, and oh boy does she know how to use it
she gets along well with: Mr. Albedo, Aunt LIsa, and Auntie Barbara!
she would eventually grow up to be the Grandmaster of the Knights of Favonious
your second daughter was named Ellie, and she had a very bubbly and bright personality! she always shows compassion to those around her, and she is basically an angel sent from heaven
she was granted a PYRO vision at the age of 6 for her passion of helping others!
she gets along best with: Auntie Barbara and Ms. Noelle!
she would eventually become a sister at the church!
your last daughter was named Adley, and she was a very passionate and leading child
she was very extroverted and her speeches were beyond inspirational
because of this, she was made a Knight Of Favonious and with her ANEMO vision, and her and her catalyst easily rose the ranks
she would eventually become an Outrider, and revived it from its previous state of death
EULA:
Tumblr media
Eula doesn’t mind the thought of children, which is why you two end up having/adopting twins!
One girl and one boy, named Mia and Luca!
Mia took up Eula’s love for dancing, and Luca took up cooking!
They both received visions, Mia received an Electro one at age 9 for persevering even though people didn’t like her dancing style
Luca received a Geo one at ago 8 because of his goal to become the best chef in Mondstadt
They both get along really well with everyone however get along best with: Ms. Amber, Ms. Noelle, and Ms. Fischl!
Mia would eventually grow up to become a dancer, and Luca a chef!
AMBER:
Amber loves the idea of have a kid!
yes 
I said A KID
not KIDS
yea she doesn’t feel ready or up for 2 or more :(
so you two end up having one child, a son named Daniel!
He inherites Amber’s personality, and at the age of 7, received a Geo vision for his goal of reviving the Outrider Regiment!
Amber was literally so proud of him oml
he gets along best with : Uncle Aether, Mr. Kaeya, and Ms. Noelle!
eventually he would grow up to become the Captain of the Outriders regiment!! (yes he revived it-)
ALBEDO:
Tumblr media
Albedo would in fact love a smaller family, which is why the two of you ended up with one daughter!
She was named Silver, and had a natural gift when it came to alchemey, much like her father
she was very reserved, and picked up lots of her behaviors from Albedo
however even though she was reserved, she had an angry side
no one ever wanted to see her angry due to that side
eventually however, for her dedication to her family and alchemey, she was granted a HYDRO vision 
She gets along best with: Ms. Sucrose, Ms. Kaeya, and Auntie Klee!
she would eventually graduate from Sumeru Acadamia and become a Knight of Favonious, taking her fathers’ place as Chief Alchemist

GABRIEL MAY (MALIGNANT) NSFW ALPHABET
Tumblr media
TW: mentions of dysmorphia, NSFW
A = Aftercare (What they’re like after sex)
Surprisingly, Gabriel actually NEEDS it, after each lovemaking session - no matter how gentle or how rough he was with you. He’ll draw the both of you a hot bath, and help you wash yourself. If you return the favour, this boy will positively melt, and let out tiny noises that sound suspiciously similar to little purrs. Afterwards, once he has patted your dry with a fluffy towel and dressed you in your favourite pyjamas, Gabriel will carry you to bed, and place you under the covers. Then, he will bring your favourite snacks and beverage, to enjoy while you huddle together to watch a movie before falling asleep.
B = Body part (Their favourite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)
Gabriel could never pick just one thing he loves about you - because he practically worships you body and soul. You are infinitely beautiful in his eyes, and the fact that you love and accept him for who he is feels like a miracle to him.
Since he doesn’t actually have a body of his own, he expresses his identity though clothes that he wears, which are different than the ones owned by Madison. Although they’re not body parts per say, he sees his leather coat and makeshift gold dagger as extensions of himself, and he enjoys donning them whenever he takes over his twin’s body. He will, sometimes, remain fully clothed during sex.
C = Cum (Anything to do with cum basically… I’m a disgusting person)
His pleasure is your pleasure, and he will make you cum as much as possible, if only to enjoy your desperate moans and whimpers. 
Being transmasc and trapped his Madison’s body, he suffers from severe dysmorphia and doesn’t really enjoy being touched intimately. And, as stated HERE, he did communicate with his sister when the two of you decided to become intimate, because he felt like this specific situation called for his sister’s consent. She doesn’t have access to his memories regarding his sex life, though - which is for the best.
D = Dirty Secret (Pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
It’s not a secret that he loves watching you pleasure yourself. The first time he witnessed it, you weren’t aware he was there, lost as you were in the act, so he quietly enjoyed the show from the door, a smug smirk playing at the corners of his mangled mouth.
E = Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they’re doing?)
You are Gabriel’s first and only love, and the only person who ever saw him as a human being, worth of respect and adoration. So he doesn’t have that much experience, but he did his research and tried to learn as much as possible about the human body’s erogenous spots. That makes up for his lack of actual physical experience, at least most of the times. But since your guys’ relationship is based on trust, respect and communication, Gabriel is never ashamed to ask what works for you, and what doesn’t.
F = Favourite Position (This goes without saying. Will probably include a visual)
Missionary, since he usually uses his mouth, fingers or a strap-on to pleasure you - and he wants to be able to look at your face, kiss your lips and hold you in his arms during sex. Gabriel is a very tactile person, and extremely touch-starved, so he actually NEEDS to be held, caressed and comforted. It’s the main reason why he enjoys making love to you so much, because the physical intimacy is something he’d never experienced before.
G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc)
I wouldn’t say he’s particularly goofy, but he isn’t very stoic either. If anything awkward ensures during sex, he will try to make you laugh about it, so that you can relax and move on.
H = Hair (How well groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc.)
He doesn’t actually have a private area of his own, and its pretty much Madison’s business as to how she grooms her nether region. He doesn’t actually care about those parts, since he never uses them.
I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspect…)
Very intimate, very romantic and very needy. As stated above, he craves physical contact, and he melts whenever you treat him with gentleness and affection. Hold him, kiss him, caress his scarred cheeks, and tell him how good he makes you feel, and Gabriel will be putty in your hands.
J = Jack Off (Masturbation headcanon)
He doesn’t actually partake in this act, as he doesn’t enjoy looking at, or touching the private parts of the body he shares with his sister. But sometimes, he fantasizes about what he would do to you, if he had a body of his own.
K = Kink (One or more of their kinks)
Gabriel is surprisingly vanilla, but he can be pretty dominant in the bedroom. He will pin your wrists above your head, as he fucks you into the mattress, or guide you into touching yourself, his voice a mere growl coming from your phone’s speaker. Knife kink, maybe, but only when it comes to cutting off your clothes. He doesn’t wanna hurt you, so unless you insistently ask him to, Gabriel won’t hold his makeshift dagger to your throat, or drag its blade across your skin. After all, he has other ways to let out his violent frustrations, so he feels no need to bring that to the bedroom. He was hurt by people who abhorred him, and he returned the favour years later. Love and violence do not cross paths in Gabriel’s mind.
Also clothed sex, because he enjoys wearing his leather coat and gloves, as he teases your naked body mercilessly.
L = Location (Favourite places to do the do)
Anywhere inside the house, but the bedroom is his favourite, because it’s more private and safe. Plus, he enjoys taking his time, so the bed is the most comfortable option when it comes to lengthy lovemaking sessions.
M = Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going)
Whenever you treat Gabriel with kindness and love, he will feel the need to bring you pleasure, and show you just how much he covets you. For him, sex is a means of expressing his affection for you - it’s an act of adoration and gratitude.
N = NO (Something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)
He will NOT hurt you, ever, no matter how much you insist. You are the only person who has ever treated him right, and he cannot bear the thought of harming you in any way.
O = Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc)
Enjoys giving, and is very enthusiastic about it. This boy will eat you out for hours, and has become fucking expert at it. He knows just how to angle his face, and use his teeth and tongue to cause you maximum pleasure. Your taste is heaven to him, and your needy moans and whimpers are music to his ears. He will edge you, he will overstimulate you, he will play your body like a violin, using his mouth and fingers alone.
P = Pace (Are they fast and rough? Slow and sensual? etc.)
Depends on the mood. Slow and sensual is his go to, but he can be rough if you ask him to. But regardless of the pace, Gabriel is ALWAYS very passionate, and completely dedicated to your pleasure. Also, this boy is inhumanly strong, so he may end up becoming rough without even realizing it - but in case it becomes too much, all you have to do is tell him, and Gabriel will apologise and treat you more gently.
Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.)
Not opposed to them, but he prefers taking his time.
R = Risk (Are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc.)
He’s willing to try anything, so long as it doesn’t cause you any actual harm. Hickeys and faint finger-shaped bruises happen a lot, since he doesn’t always calibrate his strength properly all the time.
S = Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long do they last…)
Oh, he could go on forever. Remember he experiences pleasure exclusively through you, so he never gets tired of it.
T = Toy (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?)
Oh, yes, 100% a fan of toys, all of them meant to drive you utterly insane with pleasure.
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)
The most unfair and maddeningly patient tease to ever walk this Earth. He will edge you until you’re crying and begging for release - and only then will he CONSIDER to maybe let you cum.
V = Volume (How loud they are, what sounds they make)
Low growls and muffled moans are the best he can do - although he may use your phone’s speaker to talk dirty to you.
W = Wild Card (Get a random headcanon for the character of your choice)
Gabriel really enjoys sucking on and playing with your nipples. And, yes, he has actually made you cum by solely teasing and fondling your chest.
X = X-Ray (Let’s see what’s going on in those pants, picture or words)
As I said, he uses a strap-on, which is just the right length and thickness to bring you maximum pleasure. In fact, the more I think about it, the more inclined I am to believe he consulted with you before buying it.
Y = Yearning (How high is their sex drive?)
I would say his sex drive is medium to low, so unless you initiate it - case in which he will be delighted to take you to the bedroom - he will rarely bring it up. But he does have his moments, when he simply craves your passionate embrace.
Z = ZZZ (… how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)
It depends. Sometimes he falls asleep as soon as aftercare has been performed, and sometimes he stays awake a little while longer, just to watch you sleep peacefully by his side.

Diabolik Lovers LUNATIC PARADE ;; Shuu Route ー Chapter 3
Tumblr media
Monologue
“To heal Riegel-san’s heart,
broken and closed off to others
from losing his beloved.”
That was the goal we set in mind,
when preparing for this party.
I want it to be held at a place,
where Riegel-san would be able to relive,
vivid memories of himself and his late wife.
I am willing to go through great lengths,
to accomplish thisーー
ー The scene starts in the hotel room
Yui: ( First things first, we need to secure a venue. )
Shuu-san.
About the party venue, don’t you think we should hold it somewhere memorable to Riegel-san and his wife?
Shuu: Yeah...In that case, it’d have to be on a gondola, no?
Yui: On a...gondola...?
Shuu: If the information we gathered through the Familiars is correct, that is where Riegel and his wife tied the knot.
Coincidentally, it happened during the Parade as well.
If you want to make it memorable, now’s the perfect time, no?
Yui: You’re right...! I’ll go negotiate right away. Please wait here!
Shuu: ...Oi, hold your horses.
ー Shuu approaches her
Shuu: You’re going by yourself?
Yui: Um...Knowing you, I figured you’d rather not move...
Shuu: Yeah, I don’t. It’s a drag after all.
But...I’ll make an effort for you. (1)
Yui: Are you sure?
Shuu: Yeah. Let’s get going before I change my mind.
ー The scene shifts to the gondola docks
Yui: ( The reflection of the light on the water makes the surface glitter...How lovely. )
I’m sure meeting each other at such a lovely place must have made for a wonderful memory.
Shuu: ーー Well my bad that our meeting wasn’t all that ‘lovely’.
At first, you were just terrified the whole time after all.
Yui: T-That’s, well...You’re right, but...
Right now, I consider all of them good memories.
Shuu: Well, I guess that works. Haha...
ーー Anyway.
If we want to use this place as our party venue, we have to talk to the gondolier in the back.
Yui: Yes, I know.
( Here goes nothing! I’ll try and ask him. )
ー Yui approaches the gondolier
Gondolier B: Welcome! A ride for two?
Yui: Ah...Oh. 
I’m sorry. Actually, we came here to ask for a favor...
Gondolier B: A favor...?
Yui: Yes. 
You see, we are hoping to hold a party and...
We would love to organize it here.
Gondolier B: Eeh!? A party, right here!?
Yui: Yes. We want to hold it here no matter what.
Gondolier B: That’s easy for you to say, but the Parade is when we get most of our customers and when most of the money comes in.
I can’t just easily give you permission to use it.
Yui: Right...
( I guess we’re being pretty unreasonable. )
( However, I can’t imagine Riegel-san would prefer any other place over this one. I wonder if there’s really nothing that can be done...? )
Gondolier B: My bad, but we’re expecting a lot of people today as well. So I’d like to ask you to hurry up and leaーー
Shuu: ...Pwaah.
Gondolier B: ...! Y-You are...Karlheinz-sama’s...!
Geez! You should have told me that sooner!
Gotcha! Go ahead and organize whatever you want on the gondolas! My bad for being so unwilling earlier.
So...Please give my best regards to your Father.
Shuu: If I feel like it, I guess.
Yui: ( ...W-Wow...I’m not sure if I should say I saw this coming or what. )
*TIMESKIP*
Shuu: Haah...That concludes it for the venue.
So, what’s next on the list?
Yui: Um...
We can’t hold a party without food and drinks, huh?
It’d be nice if we could rely on the hotel as our main catering service but...
I’d also love to prepare a specific dish which was his wife’s favorite.
Shuu: If I recall correctly, the report we got from the Familiars described her as having a sweet tooth.
Yui: Exactly. For example, she was particularly fond of what we’d call a ‘Galette de Rois’ in the human world...
How about we go to a sweets shop which might be able to make it for us?
Shuu: ...I’m not too thrilled about this, but sure.
Yui : ( Fufu, I’m glad he’s still willing to come with me despite his complaints. )
ー The scene shifts to the Sweets Shop ‘Saphir’
Female Vampire A: Woah, looks delicious! As to be expected from Saphir, the number one sweets shop in the Demon World!
Female Vampire B: I don’t even know where to look first. I want to try them all...
Female Vampire C: In that case, we’ll just have to buy the entire line-up and take them home with us~
Yui: ( Wow...This place is packed with people...Just getting around the store seems difficult... )
Shuu: ...
I’m leaving the rest up to you. I’ll be...resting in the back.
ー Shuu walks away
Yui: ( Ah...He retreated to the eat-in area.... )
( Actually, I do feel a little bad for forcing him to be amongst such a large crowd. )
( I hope I can talk to a member of the staff soon... )
*Thud thud*
???: Hey, you! Move aside, move aside! Coming through with the cake!
Female Vampire A: Ah, it’s the owner! This scent...Aah, irresistible~ 
Yui: ( So that guy’s the owner! Okay, I should try and have a word with him...! )
U-Um! Excuse me!
Sweets shop owner: Hm? What do you want? I’m in a rush, so move aside!
Yui: I’d like to have a small talk with you! There’s a dessert I’d like to order by the final day of the Parade...
Sweets shop owner: An order by the end of the Parade? Not happening. Right now we are especially busy, I can use all the help I can get. (2)
Aah, so busy! I don’t know what to do first!!
Yui: ( No way... )
I-In that case...
Let me help out! I’ll try my hardest!
Sweets shop owner: No, no! There’s no way I canーー
ー More and more customers come in
Sweets shop owner: Hey, you! If you’re willing to help, then get to it!
In regards to what you asked earlier, depending on it, I might consider it.
Yui: Eh? Y-Yes! Understood...!
( I-I just have to give it my all for now! )
*TIMESKIP*
Female Vampire D: Please give me three more of these cakes.
Yui: Y-Yes!
Female Vampire E: Excuse me!? It was my turn first! Give me four of these first!
Yui: ( O-Oh no! It’s super busy...! )
Shuu: Nn...
Pwaah...
Yui: ( Ah...Seems like Shuu-san’s awake. )
ー Shuu walks over
Shuu: ...What are you doing?
Yui: As you can see, I’m helping out in the shop.
Female Vampire A: Hey, miss staff member! You’re in the way!
*Thud*
Yui: Wah!
*SHATTER*
Yui: ( Aah!? The plate broke! )
Shuu: Helping out? Like this?
Yui: ( Uu...E-Either way, I better clean up! )
ー Yui cleans up the shards
Shuu: Good grief...I can’t watch this...
Yui: ( Huh? Where is Shuu-san going...? )
Female Vampire A: Hmー If possible, I’d like at least one pie which isn’t too overly sweet...
But I have no idea which one to pick...
Shuu: ...In that case, I would recommend this. Not only does it cut back on the sugar, in turn it allows for the natural sweetness of the fruits to shine.
Female Vampire A: Oh dear, you seem very knowledgeable.
Yui: ( Wow... )
Female Vampire A: Right...In that case, I’ll take your recommendation and buy this one.
Shuu: You’re welcome.
ー Shuu returns to Yui’s side
Shuu: Well...There you have it.
Yui: You’re amazing, Shuu-san! The customer was delighted as well!
Shuu: Let me tell you, I’m not doing that a second tiーー
ー More customers approach them
Female Vampire B: We heard there’s a clerk who is especially knowledgeable on cakes here, but who could it be?
Female Vampire C: Anyway, I want to get a recommendation as well~?
Female Vampire D: Could it be the young man standing there!?
Female Vampire E: It has to be!
Yui: ( Ah...They found us. )
Shuu: ...
Seems like...I won’t be able to go for another nap.
Yui: ( Ahaha... )
*TIMESKIP*
Sweets shop owner: Honestly! Thank you so much for today! You helped me out a ton!
I don’t want to simply call this a way to return the favor so...
Please allow me to accept your request from earlier.
Yui: A-Are you sure?
Sweets shop owner: Yeah!
Doesn’t matter when you want it, I’ll make sure to fulfill my duty as the owner of this shop!
Yui: ( Hooray! )
Sweets shop owner: So? What kind of sweet treat is it?
Yui: Umーー
ー Yui explains
Sweets shop owner: I understand what you want very well.
You’ll have something to look forward to on the final day of the Parade!
Yui: Thank you very much!
ー The scene shifts back to the main street
Yui: It’s all thanks to you, Shuu-san! Thank you so much
Shuu: That was the first and final time I’ve done that, okay? ...Haah...
ーー So? What should we do next? We’re not done with all preparations, are we?
Yui: Um, I was thinking we should tackle the decorations for the gondola next.
Since we actually get to use it, I figured we might as well dress it up nicely.
Shuu: In that case...Reine de Aji’s shop could work, right?
Yui: Reine de Aji...?
Shuu: You’ll understand once we get there. Follow me.
Yui: ( ...? )
ー The scene shifts to general store Reine De Aji
Yui: ( Waah! There’s so many beautiful decorations out on display...! )
( I don’t know where to look first. )
How do you think we should decorate, Shuu-san?
Shuu: Anything works. I don’t really have a specific preference.
But well, personally, rather than the decorationsーー
*Thud*
Yui: ( Ah...They’re even selling antique violins. )
Shuu: I believe the music is what makes or breaks a party.
Yui: You might have a point.
Ah...Since it’s such a good opportunity, how about you play one song as well?
Shuu: No. Too much work.
Yui: ( Ahaha, I figured he’d say that... )
...I’d love to hear you play since it’s been so long though.
Shuu: ...
Yui: Is that too much to ask?
Shuu: Haah...Just a little, okay?
*Thud*
Shuu: ...
ー He starts playing the violin
Yui: ( What a beautiful melody... )
*THUD*
Shuu: ...Who’s there?
???: ...
Shuu: Aji, is that you?
Yui: ( So this is Aji-san. )
Reine de Aji: ...What exactly brings the eldest Sakamaki to my establishment?
Shuu: I don’t owe you an explanation. It’s none of your business, is it?
Reine de Aji: Hmph...If you don’t feel like answering my question, then I don’t feel like selling you anything either.
Yui: ( O-Oh no...! )
Aji-san! We’re actually planning to hold a party for a certain someone...
We came here to purchase the necessary decorations.
Reine de Aji: ...I see...
Well, in that case, you made the right choice by coming to my store.
After all, my line-up is rather extensive. On top of that...
I have a great offer.
*Rustle*
Reine de Aji: Voila.
Yui: A locket pendant...?
Reine de Aji: It’s not just your regular old pendant.
It’s a bewitched object which makes the wearer take the appearance of the person whose picture is put inside the locket.
Yui: W-Wow!
( Then...If we were to put a picture of Riegel-san’s wife inside...! )
Reine de Aji: Well then, this isn’t a demonstration. Better put it away again...
Yui: Ah! P-Please, wait! Could you please let us borrow that pendant?
Reine de Aji: This?
You make it sound so easy, but...
Yui: Is it too much to ask...?
Reine de Aji: ...
Under one condition.
In return for borrowing this pendant, you have to show me something good.
Yui: ...Entertain me...?
Reine de Aji: If no, it’s a no-deal. What will you do?
Yui: P-Please let me! I’ll try my best!
ー The scene shifts to Aizen Alleyway
Yui: ( I replied in the spur of the moment but... )
What do you think we could do to please Aji-san?
Shuu: ...
Yui: Shuu-san?
Shuu: Say...Do we even really need that pendant anyway?
Yui: ( Seems like he’s not too happy about the idea. But... )
I’m sure it’d make Riegel-san happy.
Shuu: ...
...Well, if you insist, fine.
Anyway, let’s try asking the people in town about whatever may catch Aji’s attention.
Yui: Y-Yes...!
ー The scene shifts to the main street
Male Vampire A: Hm...You’re kind of catching me off guard with the sudden question.
Yui: Anything will do. No matter how trivial...
Male Vampire A: ...
Yui: ...Ugh.
Male Vampire A: I’m sorry, I don’t know. Please ask someone else.
Yui: ...Okay...Thank you very much.
Male Vampire A: Bye.
ー The Vampire walks away
Shuu: ...That was our tenth try...What will you do? Give up already?
Yui: ...No. Why don’t we test our luck somewhere else? If we do, I’m sure we’ll...
( Gotta keep trying and not give up! )
ー The scene shifts to the wagon area
Yui: ( It’s even more crowded than earlier. One of these people might know something. )
( Okay...! I’ll try asking that person over there first. )
Excuse me...! I’d like to ask something...
Male Vampire B: ...Oh dear, what could that be?
Yui: Do you happen to know the person who runs a store over in the other street called Aji-san?
Male Vampire B: I do know her.
Yui: Actually, we want to make her happy somehow and...We were wondering if you knew any good ways to do so?
Male Vampire B: ...
...Hmー...
Yui: ( This time for sure...! )
Male Vampire B: My apologies, I doubt I’ll be of much help.
Yui: ...I see...
Male Vampire B: ...
If I had to name something I know about her...The only thing I could tell you is that she enjoys flora.
Yui: ...Flora...You say?
Male Vampire B: Yes. ...Oh, I made plans to meet up with someone, so you’ll have to excuse me now.
ー The Vampire walks away
Yui: T-Thank you very much!
( Flora, huh...? )
Yui: Um, Shuu-san? Why don’t we try giving her a plant she might like?
Shuu: ...I’m not sure. I can’t tell you whether that’ll actually please her or not.
Yui: But I don’t think we have much other choice but to rely on the information we just got...
Are there any stores selling plants nearby?
Shuu: I mean, there are, I guess.
Yui: ( Okay...! Let’s go take a look! )
ー The scene shifts to the garden store
Yui: This is the place...
( There’s so many plants I’ve never seen before! Guess I should have expected as much from the Demon World... )
...Amazing...
Shuu: Not really. They’ve only got plants which are commonly seen around the Demon World. I doubt any of these will please Aji-san.
In short...I feel as if we’re only wasting our time here?
Yui: S-Sorry...
( Hm...What a shame. Seems like we’re back to square one. )
???: ...Hm? Are you customers, perhaps? Welcome.
I’m the owner, so if you are looking for something, please ask away.
Yui: Thank you very much.
Garden store owner: My extensive knowledge on the flowers which grow in the Demon World is the one thing I pride myself on.
Yui: ...I see. In that case...
Which flower would make a person the happiest if they were to receive it as a gift?
Garden store owner: Everyone has different tastes.
But...A flower which can please everyone, can only be ‘that’.
Yui: ‘That’?
Garden store owner: Exactly. ‘That’ flower which only blooms in the mountains.
Yui: Only grows in the mountains...Then where exactly are these mountains?
Garden store owner: Don’t tell me...You want to go pluck one?
Yui: If it’s a flower which can make any person happy, then I’d like to if possible.
Garden store owner: I see.
I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I doubt it’ll work out.
...Well, I’m sure you’ll find out once you reach the mountains. I don’t mind drawing you a map.
Yui: ( I wonder what he means? )
ー The scene shifts the entrance of the mines
Yui: ( Um...I’m pretty sure we have to go right here...Then left at the next corner... )
ー The scene shifts to an underground lake
Shuu: Oi...We’re still not there yet?
Yui: P-Please wait. I’m pretty sure we’ve reached our destination...
According to the map, there should be a cave closeby.
Shuu: A cave?
Couldn’t it be that one over there?
Yui: Ah...!
Shuu: Good grief...You’re getting way too caught up in the map instead of actually looking at your surroundings.
Well, that being said, I’d rather not get ourselves lost again from walking around aimlessly.
Come on, let’s get going already.
Yui: Y-Yes!
ー The scene shifts to the Selenite Crystal Cave
Yui: ( Wow, it’s glittering somehow... )
What are these...?
Shuu: Selenite, right? Seems like the entire cave is made up from them.
Yui: ...I see...
Shuu: Oi, this isn’t the time to be captivated by them. Let’s look for the thing we came for.
Yui: Right.
( The shop owner didn’t tell us anything about the actual flower, did he? )
( ‘You’ll be able to tell straight away’ is the only hint we have... )
...Um...
*Flash*
Yui: ( ...? )
*Flash*
Yui: ( I’m not...imagining this, right? )
Shuu: ...Oi. Don’t you think that could be it? There’s been flashing lights coming from the back.
Yui: Let’s go look.
Monologue
What we found at the end of the path,
was a mysterious flower.
Covering the whole surrounding area,
they spread a warm light across,
shining amidst the dark like fireflies.
Their beauty is simply out of this world.
I subconsciously extended my hand towards the stem.
Howeverーー
*WOOSH*
Yui: ( I-It disappeared... )
Shuu: This must be the Ghost Flower.
Yui: Ghost Flower?
Shuu: Yeah, just like actual ghosts, you aren’t able to touch them.
Yui: ( So that’s why it vanished. )
( But...It was really pretty. I think I understand why anyone would be happy to see these flowers. )
( I’m sure Aji-san as well... )
...Um, Shuu-san? Can’t we get this flower to Aji-san’s store somehow?
Shuu: ...Haah...
Doesn’t seem like you’ll give up any time soon, so why don’t you try out some things?
Yui: ( Um...He’s basically saying he’ll stay here with me for now, right...? )
( F-For now, I’ll just try anything which comes to mind! )
*TIMESKIP*
*WOOSH*
Yui: Aah...Another fail...
( No matter how gently I touch them, it’s no use. Trying to pluck them from a different angle didn’t work either. )
( I guess it really is impossible... )
Shuu: ...
Yui: ( Shuu-san appears to be listening to music, but he seems bored. )
( But...There’s one more thing I’d like to try. )
( They disappear upon contact...So basically I have to avoid touching them, right? )
( I wonder if digging them up together with the soil would work then? )
( It’s all or nothing...Here goes...! )
*Thud thud*
Yui: ...! Shuu-san, look! The flower didn’t vanish...!
Shuu: Looks like it.
Yui: We can take it back with us to Aji-san’s store like this...! Aah, I’m so glad!
Shuu: ...
No, it’s too early to rejoice.
Try waiting a little like that.
Yui: ...?
*TIMESKIP*
Yui: ( I wonder how long I should wait? I’d guess about five minutes have passed by now. )
Shuu-san, what’s the point of thiーー
*WOOSH*
Yui: Ah!
Shuu: ...I knew it.
I figured that if all you had to do was scoop it out with soil and all, then the people from the garden shop would have long been doing that.
Yui: You...do have a point...
( There’s no way we can make it back to Aji-san’s shop in just five minutes. )
I wonder if it’s really impossible...
Shuu: ...No, that’s not true either.
Yui: Eh...?
Shuu: Let me ask you once more. ...You really want to borrow the pendant, right?
Yui: Well...Of course!
Shuu: Okay then.
ーー Oi. Dig out that ghost flower from the ground once more.
Yui: S-Sure.
( What could he be thinking? Anyway, I’ll just put faith in Shuu-san for now... )
*Thud thud*
Yui: Done.
Shuu: Okay. Now I just have to do this...
Yui: ( Why did he pick up a pebble...? )
Shuu: Thereーー!
*Swoosh*
*Thud*
*Flap flap flap flap flap*
Yui: Wah!? B-Bats!?
( They were startled by the sound of the rock and jumped out! Where did this many of them even come fromーー!? )
*Rustle*
Yui: Shuu-san!? What is this about...!?
Shuu: They can carry us to Aji’s store in under five minutes.
Yui: I seeーー
*Flap flap flap flap flap*
Yui: ...Wait, eeeeeh!?
Tumblr media
Shuu: Wake me up when we’ve arrived.
*Flap flap flap flap flap*
Shuu: ...
Yui: ( Geez, Shuu... )
( O-Okay! I have to just let myself be carried. )
Monologue
I made up my resolve.
And decided to keep still,
as I let the bats carry me.
When taking a quick glance at the ground below,
I could see,
the ongoing Parade.
If I hadn’t gotten my heart stolen, then perhaps right now, 
Shuu-san and I would also beーー
Such thoughts flashed through the back of my mind.
I shake my head, getting rid of those thoughts,
while continuing to pray,
that the Ghost Flower in my hands would not disappear.
ー The scene shifts to Reine de Aji’s store
*Flap flap flap flap flap*
Yui: ( W-We somehow got here before the Ghost Flower vanished. )
Shuu-san! Wake up, please! We’re here!!
Shuu: Nn...Pwaah...
That’s pretty fast. I wouldn’t have minded snoozing for a little longer...
Yui: More importantly, we should hurry up and find Aji-sanーー
*Flap flap flap flap flap*
Reine de Aji: W-What is this ruckus about!?
Yui: Ah, Aji-san!
Reine de Aji: You lot...! Are you trying to destroy my shop out of spite for not getting the pendant!?
Yui: N-No!
Take a look at this, please! We wanted to make you happy, so...
Reine de Aji: T-This is...Could it be, a Ghost Flower...?
The legendary flower, and the one flower in this world I had yet to see...
*WOOSH*
Yui: ( Aah, it vanished... )
Reine de Aji: ...
Yui: ( Oh no. The shop’s a mess because of the bats... )
( I guess...We failed to please her... )
Reine de Aji: That wasn’t an illusion just now, it was an actual Ghost Flower. I...
I’ve always wanted to see it here in my store, even if only once.
You did all of this just for me?
Yui: I just thought it’d be nice if it would make you happy...But I’m sorry you were only able to see it for such a short time.
Reine de Aji: Don’t sweat it. You made me plenty happy.
Furthermore, the fact they wither is exactly what makes flowers so beautiful.
ーー Thank you. I’m very pleased.
Yui: ( T-Thank god! Then... )
Reine de Aji: As promised...
*Cling*
Reine de Aji: I’ll lend you this pendant.
Yui: T-Thank you very much!
( We did it! )
Reine de Aji: Hey, you...Sakamaki.
Shuu: ...
Reine de Aji: I’ve written you guys off as lost causes for the longest time.
But you did all of this to make me happy. Especially this young lady over here.
...She’s quite the catch.
You chose your partner well. I suppose we should have expected as much from the eldest son of the family.
Shuu: Thank you.
Yui: ( I guess...she complimented me? It’s a little embarrassing but I’m happy. )
ー The scene shifts back to the hotel
*Cling*
Yui: ( If you put a picture inside this locket and put the necklace on, you can turn into that person...Huh? )
( Reevaluating it, it really is a mysterious thing. )
Anyway...We can hold the party without any trouble now.
Shuu: Yeah.
But...You’re forgetting one important thing.
Yui: Important...?
( What could that be? )
We’ve settled on the location, the cake and even got a surprise prepared...Which leaves...
Shuu: ...
Yui: Which leaves...?
Shuu: ...
Yui: U-Um...What do we still have left to do exactly?
Shuu: Good grief...
ー Shuu steps closer
Shuu: ーー Show your gratitude.
Yui: Excuse me?
Shuu: Show your gratitude to me.
Who’s to thank for making it this far into the preparations?
Yui: ( S-Starting with the gondola, I guess none of this would have been possible if Shuu-san hadn’t been there with me. )
Shuu-san, thank you so much for today.
I’m sorry for not saying this sooner.
Shuu: Just words won’t suffice.
In that case, let’s see...I wonder what I should ask from you instead?
I guess I should pose you the question for once.
Yui: U-Um...
( ...Something I can do... ) 
Selection
→ Give him a massage (☾)
Yui: ...Ah, right!
How about...a massage?
Shuu: A massage...
Yui: ( Uu, I feel like he’s appalled. )
I figured you must be exhausted, so I thought it wasn’t a bad idea...
Shuu: Haha...I guess it wouldn’t be bad every once in a while. Guess I’ll let you do your thing then.
Yui: Y-Yes...
*Rustle rustle*
Shuu: ...Oi. You can’t call that a massage. Put in a little more effort.
Yui: Okay.
*Rustle rustle*
Shuu: ...Phew...
*Rustle rustle*
→ Write him a letter of gratitude
Yui: In that case...How about I write you a letter of gratitude?
We can frame it and hang it on the wall at the manor, for example...
Shuu: ...
Yui: ( H-He looks disappointed. )
Shuu: Haah...Guess I’ll take the sentiment at least.
Yui: Yes...
( I guess it would have been way better to offer him a massage or something... )
( I’ll do that next time. )
*TIMESKIP*
Yui: ( Anyway...I’m glad preparations for the party went smoothly. )
( Ah...But... )
( Shuu-san didn’t seem too stoked about the idea of the pendant. )
( I wonder why? )
ーー TO BE CONTINUED ーー
Translation notes
(1) The てやる or ‘te-yaru’ construction implies that he is doing something for the sake of someone else. 
(2) Literally he says ‘I’d even be willing to accept help from a cat’. This idiom is used when someone is so busy, they will accept any help, even from someone who might not be the best.

Sypaul getting ice cream?
You know that SAF Horror Movie post that was supposed to be headcanons and I wrote it into a oneshot instead? Yeah, I'm back at it. Look, there's nothing I love more than those two wholesome gay werewolves. Genre: Fluff/ Romance Words: 2054 TL;DR: Paul and Sybilus go out to get ice cream? Is it a date? Not officially. Could it be? Very possibly. TW: There's literally none. It's all wholesome. It’s just a lot of gay panic.  ________________________________________________________
Paul sighed, walking down the streets aimlessly. He was back in Connor Creek, just for a visit. He liked to visit as often as he could- especially around the full moon. It made things a *lot* easier on him. Because even if he hadn't gone full werewolf yet, he did still experience a lot of the struggles that came around that time of month. It was good to be around other wolves- especially Desmond. And of course with the silver reserves, most of the less-than-ideal urges that came up that time of month were kept at bay. The full moon happened to be in two days, so... here he was again.
He wasn't quite sure where he was going. He was just walking, a bit bored. He felt a hand on his shoulder, and he pivoted... so quickly that he fell flat on his ass. Smooth, Paul. Even worse: It was Sybilus. Sybilus, the one person he didn't want to see anything like him flat on his ass. Paul had developped feelings for Syb. He had always though Syb was cool, but... he'd started to catch himself daydreaming. He was good looking, sweet, smart, and... god, he had the coolest name! Paul hadn't meant to fall so hard, but... damn. Both men blushed at the situation they found themselves in. Paul felt bad, reacting like that. He was a bit jumpy... especially with the full moon so soon. Sybilus offered him a hand gently, and Paul took it, standing up.
"T-terribly sorry to have startled you." Sybilus blushed. "I, um..."
"Nah, my bad." Paul chuckled softly. "I'm just jumpy."
"I only meant to say hello... and ask you if you had any t-time- ah! P-p-plans?" Sybilus bit his lip nervously.
"Well... hello." Paul smirked. "And no I don't. Why?"
"I-I was thinking p-p-perhaps we could go into town." Sybilus proposed. "Not this town... the r-real city. M-m-maybe get something to eat?"
"Oh... I actually just had lunch at the Dead Canary." Paul told him. Shit. What was he doing? He actually wanted to go out with Syb.
"We could get ice cream, then. For d-dessert." Sybilus offered.
"Oh yeah! I would be so down for that!" Paul grinned.
"I only say we go into town b-b-because... I-I was going to suggest ice cream anyways. W-w-we don't have a-any real i-i-icecream places here." Sybilus sighed, walking with Paul. They now knew where they were going. To his car. "I-I would start one myself, but I'm rather busy with my other work."
"Maybe I should move here and start one." Paul thought aloud.
"Oh, Paul... y-you've got a very important job." Sybilus shook his head. "We need people like you t-t-to keep sharing the important news with the world."
"Oh yeah, but... I could podcast from up here. Drive into the city to record when I need to..." Paul theorized.
"Well... if you wanted, we could live together." Sybilus offered. "I-I mean you could live a-at my house. You're welcome."
"You know, I'm genuinely considering this." Paul chuckled, climbing into the car. "This could be fun. And it makes sense for me to be here, right? Why just... keep visiting for full moons?"
"You make a v-v-valid point..." Sybilus considered.
"Are you actually cool with me crashing with you?" Paul checked. "Because like... it makes sense, with the two of us being wolves."
"O-of course." Sybilus assured him, starting the car. "And you're right."
"Well that settles it. I'm moving to Connor Creek, running an ice cream shop, and working on my podcast from here." Paul decided.
"M-maybe you should think it over a little bit m-m-more." Sybilus chuckled, driving down the road.
"Yeah, you're right." Paul chuckled nervously.
There was silence in the car for a bit. Neither Paul nor Sybilus knew what to say. Paul had honestly just kept talking about the ice cream shop because he didn't know where to stop. It was awkward, but not tense. Overwhelmingly, if either one had been paying attention, they would have noticed the romantic tension. Both were very evidently interested in each other. But they weren't even able to look at each other with nerves. Paul tapped his fingers nervously. God, now he’d committed to *living* with Syb. He was so nervous that he couldn’t look at the guy but apparently he was going to live with him now. God, he was an idiot. Paul rested his head on his hand, looking out the window. 
“So... have you any idea w-what season three of Wayward G-guide is going to look like?” Sybilus asked. 
“No clue. Lesly hasn’t even told Artie and I that we get to do it yet.” Paul chuckled. “Who knows who it’ll go to.”
“Oh.” Sybilus frowned. “But you and Artemis did so well with it!”
“Yeah. Lesly’s weird like that.” Paul sighed. “Last I heard he’s looking for siamese twins. Who are also podcast hosts.”
“Have y-you considered podcasting independently?” Sybilus suggested. 
“I mean... kinda.” Paul shrugged. “But like... I don’t know. There’s something about Wayward Guide specifically that I just... I loved it.”
“Do you know what in specific that s-s-something might have been?” Sybilus tried to help. 
“I... not really.” Paul admitted
“Could it have been the s-story you were t-t-t-telling and not the actual podcast itself?” Sybilus pointed out. 
“You know... you could be right.” Paul realized. 
“Well... m-m-maybe you could do a podcast on the h-history or Connor Creek while you’re here. S-s-set up a little studio. My office is always rather quuiet, so you could use that.” Sybilus suggested. “M-maybe you could do a podcast on p-paranormal and s-s-supernatural histories throughout our country!”
“You know, that would be really cool.” Paul agreed. “I’ll talk to Artie about it. You know, since... we’re a pair.”
“Oh, of course!” Sybilus nodded. 
“Yeah...” Paul bit his lip. He looked to his feet. “Hey, Syb, can I ask you a kinda weird question?”
“Of course.” Sybilus assured him. 
“Is there anyone in Connor Creek who’s LGBTQ+ other than Donny?” Paul asked. Oh god. What was he doing? Where was he going with that question. How was he going to play that off? He got an idea. “I mean... just in case APN wants to use that kind of information to celebrate during Pride month.”
“Well... let’s see...” Sybilus thought aloud. “I believe that C-Crispin and Odie Doty were seeing each other before Odie’s unf-fortunate demise. Madison once brought a girlfriend to town council. They’d met at a ‘S-Small Town Law Enforcement Summit’. I always wondered what happened t-to that girlfirend- she was l-l-lovely. And, erm... I’m gay.”
“You are?” Paul started to beam. He caught himself too late, a blushing mess. Goddamnit he was giving himself away!
“Erm... yes.” Sybilus blushed. “I-I’ve never technically come out... no one really d-does in Connor Creek. You just sort of show up with a p-p-partner or two and everyone knows.”
“Huh.” Paul hummed. “I’m bi.”
“Oh.” Sybilus nodded. Paul nearly groaned at what he’d just said. He was real smooth, wasn’t he? Both drove in silence again for a moment. Sybilus pulled into a driveway. “We’re here! T-this is the ice cream shop.”
“So I can get the scoop on my competition.” Paul smirked. 
Internally, he was killing himself. Why was literally everything he was doing and saying to this man today the cringiest, most embarassing stuff in his playbook? Seriously. As far as impressions went... he was not making a good one, and he was sure of it. Well at least Sybilus was gay. He had half of a chance. Maybe if he could just calm the fuck down (or whatever it was he needed to do to stop acting like a total dumabss) he could talk Sybilus into getting dinner with him sometime... or maybe he would somehow manage to drive Syb away after he had made the first move. Paul froze. Oh god. Syb had made the first move.
“Are you okay?” Sybilus checked, already out of the car. 
“Hm? Oh, yeah!” Paul blushed, getting out. “Sorry.”
“Don’t be s-sorry.” Sybilus chuckled. “I get lost in my head sometimes too.”
“Right...” Paul sighed, walking into the ice cream shop with him. Even though it was a hot day, it was just the two of them and the teenage girl behind the counter. Sybilus walked up to the counter ahead of him, knowing how things worked there. 
“H-hello... I was h-hoping- ah! liking- ah! I-I would like two d-double scoop waffle cones please.” Sybilus stammered out. 
“Sure thing.” The perky sales attendant smiled knowingly. “What are the flavours on those scoops?”
“Y-you go first.” Sybilus blushed, looking at his feet. 
“Um... I’ll take one scoop rocky road, one scoop chocolate chip cookie dough.” Paul told her. 
She got to work scooping that. And that’s when Paul found himself doing somethign far too quickly to stop himself: he patted Sybilus’ back to comfort him. He could see how distressed the werewolf was, and... he felt bad. He shouldn’t have to be ashamed of his impediment. Both men blushed, looking to the floor. The tension was high. Paul was frozen, unsure of whether to own his actions or... retreat as fast as was humanly possible. But... he decided to own it, going further and rubbing his friend’s back. Sybilus was blushing even harder. Oh god. Had that been too much. He thought so until... a small smile creeped onto the werewolf’s face. Paul smiled back softly. What in the actual hell was going on with those two?
“Alright, here you go hon.” The attendant smirked, passing an ice cream to Paul. She turned to Sybilus. “What about you, sweetie?”
“One b-birthday cake and one cotton candy.” Sybilus told her. She scooped those two fairly easily. 
“Those ones are always so soft.” She told him, still smiling brightly. She handed him the cone. “Here you go.”
“H-how much d-do I owe you?” Sybilus asked, reaching into his pocket. 
“Those are on the house guys. Happy Pride.” The ice cream scooper winked. 
Both Sybilus and Paul blushed, looking at each other. They seemed to be silently asking each other if they let the girl do that for them. Paul shrugged as if to say ‘why no?’, and they both looked back to her. Paul smiled softly. 
“Thank you.” He sighed, taking Sybilus’ hand and walking back outside the shop. There was a little table out there, and he sat them down at that. 
“Well...” Sybilus chuckled nervoulsy. 
“Yeah.” Paul blushed, chuckling with him. 
“I suppose it would be appropriate to wish you a happy pride...” Sybilus smiled shyly at Paul. “I-I... suppose we’d make a handsome couple- o-or at least she thought so.”
“I mean, she’s not wrong...” Paul shrugged, before freezing. Him and Sybilus just stared at each other for a second, and Paul immediately felt guilty. “I am so sorry if that made you uncomfortable, it just-”
“I agree.” Sybilus cut him off. Both just stared at each other, a look of mutual realization hit them. 
“So, um... maybe she wasn’t so wrong then.” Paul tested. “Thinking we were a couple...”
“M-maybe she wasn’t.” Sybilus sighed. There was a pause. 
“So... is this a date?” Paul checked. 
“I-if you would like it to be.” Sybilus bit his lip. 
“Yeah... I think that would be great.” Paul smiled softly. 
“I-I know of a walking trail nearby i-if you would like to go- ah! W-walk for a bit.” Sybilus offered. 
“I’d love that.” Paul beamed. 
And so the two men got up and started down the road, still eating their ice creams as they went along. Paul hesitantly reached out and grabbed Sybilus’ hand, squeezing it. Sybilus blushed, looking over and him ans smiling softly, squeezing back. Paul supposed now that he had a boyfriend he’d probably have to come out to Artemis... if she didn’t already know. He was like 99% sure she was a lesbian though, so he should be fine. Twinsense... he supposed it made them both gay. He was pretty sure that he couldn’t be any happier than he was in that moment. And he was pretty sure Syb felt the same way. It must be the pride month magic, bringing them together- or maybe it was always meant to be this way. Who knows? Paul was just excited for the journey.

NSFW A-Z List (Fear and Dumplings! Yoongi)
Tumblr media
***This contains smut, 18+ only please***
“So, I guess I’m doing this. Look, if you’ve read my story so far, you know I’m socially awkward and (previously) sexually deprived so, if this gets weird I’m sorry, you asked for it. Uhhh here we go I guess...”
A = Aftercare (What they’re like after sex):
“It just depends on what kind of sex I just had. If it was slow and lazy then, I’m probably just going to lay with Y/N for a bit. I use any excuse I can to get her to play with my hair but, after sex she usually just does it on her own. Sometimes though, sex gets a little intense for me. Before Y/N, I wasn’t emotionally attached to sex but, now I am and, there are times when I need to recover afterwards, especially if things get overwhelming. Y/N knows exactly how to take care of me and, she knows the best way to bring me back from subspace. That’s why I feel comfortable enough to be submissive with her.”
B = Body part (Their favourite body part of theirs and also their partner’s):
“Uh I don’t really have a body part of mine that I like enough to mention. Y/N likes my hands, she plays with my fingers when she’s nervous or bored and, I don’t even think she knows that I notice. But, it’s really cute ha.”
“I honestly can’t choose a favorite body part of Y/N’s because that feels a little weird to do. One of my favorite things about her is how comfortable she makes me feel. She has this way of making everyone feel at ease and, it’s one of the first things I noticed about her. Anyway, I love her a lot ha. This is supposed to be a sex thing and, I’m just making it about how much I love my girlfriend. Aqua says its because I’m a Pisces but, love and sex are very much the same thing to me now so, expect a lot more mushy shit.”
C = Cum (Anything to do with cum basically… I’m a disgusting person):
“Cum? What about cum? Is this question really just about cum? Aqua, where the hell did you find this prompt? Uh ok cum…I mean I like when Y/N swallows but, I don’t expect her too. I don’t really have a thing for my cum, I could take it or leave it. I think a lot of people see cumming on someone’s face as a possessive thing and, I’m not really that kind of guy. I like Y/N’s cum on my lips though, especially if I’ve been eating her out, sometimes I wish she’d wait a little longer to kiss me just so, I could taste it longer…”
D = Dirty Secret (Pretty self-explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs):
“I mean, I think love makes me a little crazy sometimes but, I don’t know if I would consider that a dirty secret. Y/N is the first person I’ve ever been in love with and, I think I get a little weird about it. For example, the other day she was cleaning her apartment and, I literally could not stop staring at her. I just wanted to watch her. Not in a creepy way, well fuck, I don’t know that sounds kind of creepy. I just find her so endearing and pretty, sometimes I wonder why she’s even with me…”
E = Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they’re doing?):
“I’ve slept with 8 people including Y/N but, besides her and Hoseok, they were hook-ups I had throughout university. I would say I’m pretty experienced with sex but, I never cared much about it until I met Y/N.”
F = Favourite Position (This goes without saying. Will probably include a visual):
“I like when she’s on top the best, especially when she’s choking me.”
G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc):
“Like I said earlier, I feel really comfortable with Y/N. Sex is funny sometimes, it’s not always extremely passionate or movie-like. There are moments when we laugh together, especially when we’re both trying not to cum. It’s the only way to hold it sometimes ha.”
H = Hair (How well-groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc.):
“Uh do people really want to know if I have pubes? Is that a genuine curiosity? I mean, I have a little bit. I’m not a very hairy person but, I keep it neat and everything. Side note, any person that insists on you shaving your body hair is a loser. Y/N isn’t a Barbie doll so, I don’t expect her to be clean shaven all the time, or any of the time, that’s ridiculous.”
I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspect…):
“I’m so in love right now that it’s a little gross so, I basically melt as soon as Y/N touches me. Or as soon as she does most things…”
J = Jack Off (Masturbation headcanon):
“I don’t really do it that often anymore. If I have any spare time, I’m usually with Y/N and, I’d much rather save anything I have for her. If we both get busy though, sometimes I will. Y/N usually helps me out either way.”
K = Kink (One or more of their kinks):
“I think my kinks have been a pretty big focus of our story so, I’m sure most of you already know ha. I think my biggest ones are biting, scratching, choking and,probably uh... love? I know love is a weird one but, I always cum really hard when Y/N tells me she loves me. What can I say? I’m a baby.”
L = Location (Favourite places to do the do):
“The bedroom. Seriously, I don’t know how people do it anywhere else. I’m not athletic enough for that. I have a soft spot for car sex but, I would still prefer it in the bedroom. Oh and, my studio. Shit. Maybe I like it there better…there’s a lot of good memories there. I can’t talk about that though, Y/N isn’t going to be home for another hour and, I don’t want to get worked up.”
M = Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going):
“Sex is an expression of love for me so, my motivation is to show her how much I love her with my affection. That’s probably a boring answer but, it’s the truth. As far as what turns me on, I mean, it’s not anything specific. Y/N has a way of turning me on without even trying.  Her voice is really pretty so, when she’s speaking softly to me when we’re in bed together, that turns me on. She also does this thing where she slides her hands underneath my t-shirt and, uh…yeah. Holy shit ha. If her hands are on me, I’m kind of done for. I really wish she wasn’t working late tonight.”
N = NO (Something they wouldn’t do, turn offs):
“Threesomes, public sex and, anything gross. I like spit and cum, that’s about it as far as bodily fluids go.”
O = Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc):
“If Y/N let me, I’d probably live between her legs. This is one thing, I’m not really shy about. I love eating pussy. I just do. I love getting head too obviously, it’s amazing. The first time Y/N ever did it for me, I almost passed out. I still don’t know how I stayed standing while she was down there, I felt like I was gonna throw up.”
P = Pace (Are they fast and rough? Slow and sensual? Etc.):
“I like it all. Different moods call for different speeds. If I had a preference though, it would probably be  slower sex. The kind of sex where it feels like it lasts a long time. We had a night like that recently. I think we started kissing around midnight and, we didn’t stop until like 3am. Then, we ordered takeout. I’m the luckiest man alive ha.”
Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.):
“Quickies are fine. Sex is sex. It’s all great. I prefer when we don’t feel rushed but, sometimes you just need to get off.”
R = Risk (Are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc.):
“I’m down to experiment with Y/N because, I trust her. I trust that she would never push me too far or take advantage of me. “
S = Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long do they last…):
“I last as long as I’m told to last haha. I don’t usually cum without permission. Y/N tells me beforehand whether or not I need to ask and, during those times, I don’t last very long if I’m being honest. It’s too good. I always make sure she’s taken care of though and, usually that gets me hard again anyway.”
T = Toy (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?):
“I know Y/N owns a vibrator but, I don’t have any toys right now. We are talking about getting a strap on but, I’m still working up to that.”
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease):
“I’m definitely not the tease in the relationship but, if I do tease,  it’s because I’m trying to get punished.”
V = Volume (How loud they are, what sounds they make):
“I’m not very loud I don’t think. According to Y/N, my breathing just gets heavier and, by the end of it, I’m usually whimpering into her neck or something, probably signing over the deed to my car or some shit. She has that effect on me. “
W = Wild Card (Get a random headcanon for the character of your choice):
“One time Y/N made me cum so hard, it literally messed up my vision for a moment. Things got a little blurry and, I felt like I couldn’t breathe. It was one of the most intense feelings I’ve ever felt but, it was after she had been teasing me for a long time. It was incredible ha.”
X = X-Ray (Let’s see what’s going on in those pants, picture or words):
Yoongi opted not to answer this question.
Y = Yearning (How high is their sex drive?):
“Embarrassingly high. Things change when her and I are apart because, I just miss being around her more than anything but, at some point I always end up wanting her too.”
Z = ZZZ (… how quickly they fall asleep afterwards):
“Despite most people’s assumptions, I don’t just pass out immediately after sex. Sometimes it makes me really tired, especially if she’s been playing with me but, I feel like I’m a little too needy to just fall asleep right afterwards. Sometimes, sex gives me energy too because, I feel so good when we’re done that I’m ready to be productive. That happens in the studio a lot actually, sex helps me focus so, if we do it in there, I usually feel more creative.”
If you guys want to see other characters let me know!

A - Z 🤍🤍
I’m assuming this means all the asks! So buckle up LOL. And thank you for taking an interest in lil ole me. 
A: How did you come up with the title to [insert fic]?
Since you didn’t specify which title, I’m just going to talk about how I come up with titles in general. Normally, they happen one of two ways. Either I will come up with a title I think sounds cool out of the blue and then base a fic of its vibes, or I will write a fic to completion before deciding on a title. I like to use something that one of the characters say in this situation. It feels very full circle to me, if you will. 
B: Any of your stories inspired by personal experience?
Unfortunately, my life is nowhere near as cool as the characters’ lives I write about. So no, I can’t say that my stories are based off personal experience. Unless you count me naming side characters my middle name every so often to indulge myself oops. 
C: What member do you identify with most?
I guess by member it means character? And to be honest, I’m not really sure. I relate a lot to Spencer Reid I suppose, because I have never been popular and have always been a target for whatever shit life throws at me. I also like to think I’m kinda intelligent? Although if you look at my grade in my stats class right now, idk what to tell you-
D: Is there a song or a playlist to associate with [insert fic]?
Since there was no specific fic asked about, I can’t really answer this one! But to be honest, I don’t think there are any fics that I have written that I associated with songs. 
E: If you wrote a sequel to [insert fic], what would it be about?
The first one that came to mind is Guest Speaker. If I wrote a part three for that, it would probably be fluffy domestic cute stuff with Spencer. 
F: Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.
“I don’t even know what it was…it happened so fast. Did you kill it, Geralt?” Jaskier asked in a huff. Geralt crossed his arms, and shook his head. “I figured I should make sure you didn’t die first, bard.” Jaskier nodded, a simple “Ah,” leaving his lips. “Well, no matter. You can fix me right?” 
He sounded like he was poking fun at the situation, but I could hear the fear in his words. I decided to try and make him smile before I did this next part. It would be painful.
“Anything for Geralt of Rivia and his emotional support bard.”
(This was just really funny to me for some reason, and I feel like I did a good job with their characterizations! And then Y/N comes back with the emotional support bard comment and it’s something I would say in real life. From this fic.)
G: Do you write your story from start to finish, or do you write the scenes out of order?
It depends on my mood! Sometimes if I’m frustrated with a story or a scene, I’ll write them out of order based on what type of thing I feel like writing. But I would say 75% of the time I write my fics in order.
H: How would you describe your style?
To be honest, I have no idea. Do I even have a style? I just write stuff and hope that people read it and like it. 
I: Do you have a guilty pleasure in fic (reading or writing)?
Happy endings pfft. So cliche, but like- they make me happy. Unless I am feeling particularly angsty that day and want to make an ending a complete train wreck >:) 
J: Write or describe an alternative ending to [insert fic].
In this fic...I would let reader live LMAO. But like- I was feeling angsty that day okay-
K: What’s the angstiest idea you’ve ever come up with?
Reader dying at the end of the fic LMAO, in the fic linked in the previous one above this one.
L: How many times do you usually revise your fic/chapter before posting?
Uhh 😬 Maybe once? If that 😅 I’m usually so excited to post that I just kinda go ahead and click post and hope for the best. I rely on spell check and grammar check a lot 💀And I just hope my story flows well.
M: Got any premises on the back burner that you’d care to share?
I don’t think so! I keep my to do list public so everyone can see what fics I have planned. The only two I don’t have on there are the ones for the upcoming fic swap on @imagining-in-the-margins ‘s discord! But that’s cuz they’re secret :)
N: Is there a fic you wish someone else would write (or finish) for you?
I wish that I would finish the 85486824 WIPS I have, does that count? And that I would write down all the ideas I have in my head that I haven’t even given words yet. 
O: How do you begin a story–with the plot, or the characters?
Ooh this is a tough one. I’m not really sure how to answer it actually. There have been fics that I come up with a general idea for a plot for first, and then others I will decide what characters I wanna write for before I have any clue as to what the plot might be. 
P: Are you what George R. R. Martin would call an “architect” or a “gardener”? (How much do you plan in advance, versus letting the story unfold as you go?)
Oh I am 100% the type of writer to let the story unfold as I go. I have outlined two, maybe three of my fics? And then I didn’t even follow through with them because I had more ideas come to me as I was writing. 
Q: How do you feel about collaborations?
I would literally LOVE to collab with someone!
R: Are there any writers (fanfic or otherwise) you consider an influence?
There are a ton, and I am so sorry if I missed any! @imagining-in-the-margins @randomfandomimagine @reidetic @lexieshuntingsstuff @writing-in-april @reidgraygubler @zhuzhubii @dreatine @andiebeaword @dontkissthewriter @spencers-dria @sunlight-moonrise @personofsinterest @ontheoddoccasioniwritestuff @reidlusts @itslatinamagia
S: Any fandom tropes you can’t resist?
Oh boy! 😅 There was only one bed, mutual pining, manic pixie dream girl, kissed to keep quiet, just to name a few!
T: Any fandom tropes you can’t stand?
Not that I can think of! 
U: Share three of your favorite fic writers and why you like them so much.
But I have way more than three :’( @imagining-in-the-margins is definitely the first one off the top of my head. Last year I was in a really bad spot, and she invited me to her Discord, and it helped me get back into writing. Plus I made some life long friends in the server. @writing-in-april I love her sm because she is always around when I need her, and it’s nice to have a friend that thinks fairly similarly to me. @lexieshuntingsstuff and @reidgraygubler go hand in hand! They are the best sprinting buddies a girl could ask for. 
V: If you could write the sequel (or prequel) to any fic out there not written by yourself, which would you choose?
Ooh this is a tough one. I can’t think of any off the top of my head! Lame answer, I know 😅
W: Do you like more general prompts, or more specific ones?
Definitely more specific ones lol. It makes it a lot easier on me. 
X: A character you enjoy making suffer.
Reader >:))
Y: A character you want to protect.
SPENCER REID AND JASKIER OKAY THEY DESERVE THE WORLD
Z: Major character death–do you ever write/read it? Is there a character whose death you can’t tolerate?
Again- Spencer and Jaskier. I will not TOLERATE THEIR ERASURE !!

3, 4, 25, 61, 71, 79 & 96 for Coreopsis!
003. Does your character like coffee better, or tea?
"I l-like tea better, especially h-herbal or sweeter teas." Coreopsis had a collection of teas that they'd worked on building after the first time they got to try it once resurrected. It was something simple that they took quiet happiness and comfort in having. "However, e-even though it's not o-on the list, I also love a g-good hot chocolate." Their hot chocolate collection almost rivaled their tea collection, with both drinks being used to bring comfort and, depending on the time, energy as well.
004. Do they prefer being alone or with others?
"I d-don't really like being a-alone. I guess...I like b-both, but in specific ways. I p-prefer having my space, but w-while being around others." Rubbing the palm of their left hand with their right thumb, they give a sheepish smile. "I prefer b-being around life, but when i-it comes to company, I only r-really enjoy the company of s-specific people, otherwise, I'd want to be a-alone but, for instance, a-at park or s-something."
025. What do they consider beautiful in others personality-wise?
"Kindness." There's no hesitation in the first part of their answer. They had seen so much of what cruelty and selfishness had done to people, that kindness was always something that they loved and admired in others. "B-but also hope and h-humor. It's nice to s-see that, even in the dark, s-someone can still hold onto the good, and h-hope to see the light at the end of the t-tunnel." Scratching their cheek, they hummed in contemplation. "I've not p-put too much thought into it t-to be honest. But, I think s-strength, especially to stand up for one' s-self, is also q-quite attractive. Maybe not b-beautiful per se, but attractive."
061. Does your character prefer adventure or safety and security?
"I like adventure actually, w-which might be a bit of a s-surprise, but, well, I was brought b-back as a Hunter. I'm curious, and I like to e-explore new or recently uncovered places." There's a huff of laughter as they shuffle a bit out of embarrassment, "I just d-don't like some places anymore."
071. How kind is your character?
Their cheeks flush at the question as they tilt their head down in an attempt to hide their face. "Uh...I-I'm not sure I can a-answer that." However, just as they were hoping to pass over the question, Snowdrop appeared above their head. "Well I'd say my blossom is very kind! They frequently give people discounts on their repairs, charging not nearly as much glimmer." Floating around as Coreopsis tried to catch her, she continue, nearly rambling, "They also became a mentor to Imes and Lila out of kindness! And they tend to leave around small gifts for people who need their day brightened! And--" As Coreopsis caught her Ghost, they shushed her very loudly, their blush even more prominent. "A-anyway! We can m-move on now."
079. How easy is it for them to read the emotions of others?
Still blushing faintly, they pursed their lips in thought. "I don't k-know actually. I think I'm d-decent at reading others emotions, b-but I also know that I'm n-not the best at, for i-instance, catching it when someone is l-lying or bluffing, not that I've n-never caught someone when they're lying, it's j-just that I don't catch them all." Realizing they may have gotten off topic, they give a sheepish smile. "Uh, but a-anyway, I think I'm pretty d-decent at reading emotions, maybe a 6 o-or 7 on a scale."
096. How do they move and carry themselves? What energy do they project?
They almost laugh at the question, instead gesturing to themself, "I d-don't like to take up t-too much space, I'm s-sure my nervous energy c-can be felt a mile away, b-but, I also try to carry an a-air of warmth and kindness y'know? As f-for how I move, I l-like to move quickly, unless s-standing still, then I fiddle and stim a lot."

Itse me, shy!
Holy FUCK, I thought the last chapter was intense but this one, whoo boy! The things youve dropped are awesome omg! (Sorry anyone who reads this who hasn't checked out the newest chapter of NQM, massive spoilers ahead!)
Them being immortals makes so much sense! Of course they can be revived, they can't die! And I dont know why but it also makes sense that Ze has never seen Chilled die before. Does that mean they don't die of age either? Will they just keep ageing?
It must be terrifying to wake up, knowing you have to be dead but being alive, I am so glad all of them found each other and support each other. Heck yeah to Steven squared and Chilled!
I love that Chilled and Ze have been friends for so long, Chilled thinks he's immortal and he tells Ze pretty much immediately. Like, the mugging happened in college and the party did too, so I assume it was pretty quick after. And Ze too, just boom. It's about the trust, man.
I also enjoy the portrayal of Chilleds touchiness, physical closeness between friends always has me SO weak. Them just casually both going to Zes? Finally, some good fucking food.
And Aphex' joy upon seeing Ze happy (which is so wholesome still btw) makes even more sense if you put in context how long he's known Ze and how close all three must have gotten in a "Us against the world" way. Aphex is a true friend, the realest of bros.
Each one's motivations are so incredibly human, I think Toasts story is moving and it must have been awful to lie all the time, I am glad he can now live his truth (almost said he can now live freely but uh... Not really lmao)
Shubble and Platy just being so wholesome is 😭😭 i love them so much!
I see, Cheesy is baby boy baby and must be protected. Wouldn't he see that his fear is unjustified, considering the others died way more often than him and they always come back?
Walking into a bear trap must hurt so much, I am surprised Ze didn't scream tbh
I adore the way you introduced Dumbdog, genius. I am so impressed, I didn't expect this at all! The presentation, the cut off, the suspense? P e r f e c t i o n
So Dumbdog was the mystery person you wanted to introduce, good to know! It's nine people we know of then, plus however many people are trying to keep them there. It has to be at least two (unknown gender tho) because they did say we!
Did Tays worst nightmare come true and they are experiments? Would that mean that the wolf attacks are planned? It would be hilarious if they aren't ngl, like jesus Ze still runs into them for no reason lmao
Dumbdog isn't part of their group it seems like, but where did he come from? Who is he? What role is he? Can he even have a role?
So many questions have opened up! I don't need sleep, I need answers xD
Lastly, I just wanna mention how I think it's so funny how Ze constantly gets found and rescued, modern princess peach right here, now go support your Mario!
Hope you're having an awesome day!
Hey Shy! Thank you once again for reading and asking, it always makes me happy to see an ask from you! I’m glad you liked that chapter <3
This chapter was so much fun to write even if it stressed me out a little because of making sure I get across the logic and backstories well :D For aging, I would imagine its greatly reduced as they seem to regenerate at an accelerated speed rather than being impervious to damage, so for aging I think it would make the most sense that physically aging would be caveated by the idea that any sort of degeneration of their body wouldn’t be (as) drastic like it would for anyone else. But beyond that I’m only mortal and can only imagine how terrifying it must be!
I love writing friendships with casual intimacy and trust, it feels all cosy. And like in games, even when Ze and Chilled suspect and betray eachother, it never lasts too long! I’m glad you enjoy how I’ve portrayed them and Aphex too, obviously I’ve taken their online personalities into the characters in the story and I feel like what makes so much of their characters are the dynamics they have with eachother. I think having the backstory for them adds some more sadness and angst and happiness too at the earlier chapter with their adventure? 
Trying to think about the character’s motivations and individual fears was nice because I think most people would have common thoughts about being immortal but different specifics would really stick with different people based on their personalities and experiences! I think for Cheesy the idea is that maybe he’ll get complacent, or that he’s been granted something that might one day be ripped from him, as no one really knows how or why they can come back to life. People generally change a lot more when they’re younger (adolesence), and Cheesy being the closest to that experience must’ve seen his peers changing more than he did, and it’s a reminder of how quick mortality can be maybe
Numbness and body adrenaline maybe helped Ze in the not-screaming department but yes, he’s definitely in a lot of pain aaaa
Thank you so much!! <3 I love dumbdog and thought that it made a lot of sense for him to be a hybrid given his online persona! He’s also a comfy streamer so maybe I had some bias in wanting to include him haha
The people trying to keep them here is definitely more than one, which is like the base game (more than blackout DLC which i miss a lot) but I’m glad you noticed the ‘we’!! I think that Tay’s personal fears about being experimented on also give her a lot more reason to be paranoid and reckless, not justifying what she did in the last chapter but! 
Dumbdog is very much a mystery and I look forward to answering those questions about him, I hope you enjoy where I go with it!! Thank you so much for engaging with it because I do have a fear that the direction I take the story won’t be where people want it to go, but I’m having fun doing it still :D
Ze’s a strong independent damsel in distress who does need a man :’)
Please get some sleep (even though I’m not replying straight away and you probably already did) and I hope you have a good day!!

Hidden Love - Taeyoung
Word count: about 2.5k
Member: Cravity’s Taeyoung 
Warning(s): Idiots in love, a few curse words here and there nothing too bad
Genre: Fluff, bulletpoint scenario, slight crack
Note: This was requested by anon! Also I don’t know how entertainment companies work so there may be some errors. Reader is older than taeyoung and is female since anon requested a nuna reader. Enjoy!
Request: hi!! can i ask for a taeyoung fic where the reader is an older trainee at starship and tae has the fattest noona crush on him 🥺
Plot: In which getting locked into a closet brings you a lot closer to a certain younger trainee
- The first thing taeyoung was greeted with while entering the practice room for the first time was a big group hug, sweaty arms and shoulders embracing him from everywhere
- (he swore he could have felt someone wrap their legs around him koala-style too)
- Giggles and shouts echoed through the room and despite himself (and the numerous sweats stains the huggers left on his new, plain white shirt :)), he felt himself giggling along with these strangers that he has known for a total of 5 seconds
- A chorus of very very enthusiastic “Hi Taeyoung!”s as the group released him from their hug followed, people introducing themselves to him left and right, leaving him slightly disoriented, but like, a good kind of disoriented if that was a thing
- As each trainee introduced themselves properly to him, by what he was guessing as age order– age, years of training, name, all that jazz
- Taeyoung’s eyes finally drifted to the person at the end of the line
- You!!
- There’s a small sign with the word “leader” messily written in black Sharpie on it and he noticed the corners of it didn’t stick on your shirt anymore
- Your eyes shone brightly and warmly, a wide grin etched on your face and Taeyoung felt his heart skip a beat
- Taeyoung seeing you basically: 😳
- You took a big step towards him and extended a hand towards him
- “Hi! I’m (Y/N), leader of this practice room, and you’re watching Disney Channel. Welcome to Starship Entertainment. Let’s get along well!” 
- Taeyoung’s eyes widened slightly. 
- Taeyoung: “what if… what if my hand was sweaty???” 
- “What if my hand sweat disgusts her????”
- To the poor boy’s shock, you retract your hand
- Taeyoung now, his eyes even wider because he thought you hated him now: “Did I make her wait too long????,,, does she hate me??? am i gonna have to leave starship now????”
- Taeyoung stop overreacting
- However, you open your arms very wide, inching closer and closer to him until your body is about 2 inches apart from his
- Taeyoung’s heart right now: THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THU-
- You hugged him in what might the warmest and most comfortable hug Taeyoung has ever received
- After a few seconds, which felt like an eternity for Taeyoung, you broke the hug and ruffled his hair
- “Let’s be good friends, kiddo :D!”, you said while unintentionally kiddo-zoning AND friend-zoning Taeyoung at the same time 
- And become good friends you guys did!
- You were the one he was closest to and the most comfortable with among the female trainees
- Whenever he couldn’t execute a dance move the way he wanted to, you were there at his rescue! guiding him through it and calming him down
- Whenever his throat was feeling sore from all the practicing and singing, you were there to yeet a bottle of water at him and tell him to stay hydrated, ruffling his hair while he whines at you for always treating him like a child
- Whenever he felt sad, down and as if the whole world was against him, you were there to sit down with him, remind him that no! he’s not alone, he had you and the other trainees who cared a lot for him
- Sometimes, you guys engage in deep long talks that last hours
- They always without fail manage to cheer him up and its probably during one of these talks that he starts to crush on you
- And boy does he start crushing h a r d
- The thing he liked most about you was probably the way you were so kind and so encouraging to everybody
- Even if the teachers scolded you for spending too much time helping the others with their moves or something, you didn’t care
- You liked helping others and you had already claimed all the others as your children >:D
- Anyways, the second time where he felt himself fall even deeper for you was on a weekend night, late in the night
- All the others have opted to go out to the movies or to go sing at a karaoke since it was the weekend 
- You, however, decided to stay at the practice room to touch up some dance moves you didn’t feel that good about and Taeyoung stayed because… well because of you
- After practicing for a good while with him and also lowkey just messing around, you laid down on the hard floor, your shirt soaked with sweat, Taeyoung soon following suit. 
- You turn towards him to face him and Taeyoung noticed how pretty you were, even with your sweaty, wet, messy hair plastered to the sides of your face, even when your nostrils were flaring up and down because you were out of breath
- “I never noticed how pretty your lips were” you said and turned back to stare at the ceiling
- While taeyoung’s literally about to flatline because his heart is beating so quickly jssjakak
- He also turns to stare at the ceiling awkwardly because he swears to god, if he looks at you for one more second, he will literally combust
- “R-really?” - him, absolutely shook while you lay there peacefully smiling at nothing
- “Yeah :) they look very soft :)” 
- Taeyoung’s literally shaking at this point
- “T-that’s cool. Your lips are pretty too?? I guess?? N-not to be creepy, i just find them really pretty, like pretty in shape, you know haha? And color too!! Your lip color is really pretty :’DD” 
- He turns back towards you to see you snoring and sleeping peacefully and he just sits there for a minute blinking because
- What just happened
- …
- The poor boy is on the verge of tears because :((( was he that boring to the point where you feel asleep :((( 
- The truth is you were just tired from practicing and from pulling that one nighter yesterday 
- But he didnt know that so whoops
- He ended up just saying fuck it and just fell asleep next to you, his arm under his head serving as a pillow 
- And oh boy y’all bet y’all got teased when the other trainees came back and found you two together
- Taeyoung with his arm around your waist even though he made sure to sleep at least 3 feet away from you last night because he wanted to respect your personal space
- Your face nuzzled into his chest
- Your legs tangled together
- S c a n d a l o u s
- Many pictures were taken on that day
- “God tier blackmail material” - kang minhee probably
- That was the day where you also started seeing taeyoung in a different light
- Maybe… just maybe he wasn’t the kid you always thought he was?
- Maybe he was… a man 😳
- There’s no way, right?? Haha you were just tripping
- … unless ?
- You start paying attention to your hair whenever you practiced with him
- No longer were the days where you liked to agressively flip your hair into his face because what if your hair smelled bad today :(?
- And wow, you really weren’t lying that night
- His lips really were pretty :0
- And how can someone look so good right after waking up at 5 am? And right after dancing for 30 minutes straight?
- And wow he really cleaned up well in a suit and tie when there was a certain formal event you guys had to attend
- You were even afraid to hug him sometimes after practice because what if you got sweat on him :((( what if your sweat disgusts him :((((
- Oh how the turn tables
- Unfortunately, taeyoung being the clueless boy he is mistakes your crush on him to being uncomfortable 
- He racks his mind to think of something he did to offend you or something
- And he suddenly remembers the practice room night
- Did he make you uncomfortable that night? Maybe he should have woken you up instead of laying down with you?
- Goddammit taeyoung - him
- He now thinks you hate him whoops :)
- So now the two of you avoid each other
- You avoid him because you’re still having an existential crisis over whether you really consider him as a crush and a man or a boi™
- He avoids you because he feels guilty for sleeping next to you and thinks you think he’s creepy
- Two idiots in love :)
- And y’all bet the other trainees knows how absolutely dumb and in love the both of you are
- And that is why they formed a plan together to
- !!! lock both of you in a closet to talk out your feelings !!!
- Isn’t that just genius haha nothing’s gonna go wrong right? Of course not
- So, Minhee’s mainly the one behind this absolute evil masterpiece
- He commands tells poor Seongmin to go tell you that you need to retrieve a bucket from the closet 
- While Wonjin’s the one who tells Taeyoung to go there to get a mop for “spring cleaning” even though its almost july
- And as if y’all couldn’t be dumber, you guys buy it and do exactly as they say
- You arrive first to the closet, not noticing the small footsteps behind you as Taeyoung also walks towards the closet, too enthralled by something on his phone to notice you were right before him 
- As you enter the tight closet, you don’t see a bucket?
- Did you get the wrong closet?? :( you remember them specifically saying it was this one though
- You hear the closet door open once again and you yelp, surprised by the sudden creaking and suddenly finding yourself face to face with Taeyoung 
- His nose was literally almost touching yours because of how small the closet was and you feel your heartbeat accelerate
- You didn’t even have the time so say hi to him before the doors suddenly closes followed by the sound of something, or rather somebody locking it. 
- Now that the door was closed, there was no natural light peeking through the crack of the door like before and you both find yourselves in the dark, tight space of the closet
- You stare bewildered at Taeyoung’s direction and you were pretty sure his expression was also mirroring yours before both of you turned towards the door and banged on it 
- It didn’t take long to conclude the others were behind this as the sound of giggling and hushed laughter could be heard from outside
- “YOU FUCKNUTS” - Taeyoung
- You at him swearing: 😶🤭😯😧😮😲
- “LET US OUT”
- “NOT UNTIL YOU TALK TO EACH OTHER AND STOP BEING DUMBASSES. YOU GUYS ARE IN LOVE AND ITS ANNOYING. BYE” sais someone who suspiciously sounded like Minhee
- You knew they weren’t gonna give up so you tried to find where the light switch was so you could at least see
- “Taeyoung, just give it up, do you know where the light is?”
- “IT’S NEXT TO THE DOOR” - a voice from outside
- “Thanks, I guess” you muttered, trying to stabilize yourself when you almost trip on something, which you were guessing was probably Taeyoung’s foot or something like that
- “Ouch!” Yep, that was his foot
- “Sorry, it’s really dark here, can you help me find the light switch. I can’t even remember where the door was” 
- You keep palping the wall to find it when you come in contact with something else :) something that kinda feels like a hand :) like Taeyoung’s hands :) not that you memorized the feeling of his hand shape from holding his hands so many times you could recognize them anywhere anytime :) totally not :)
- You hear a “click” and the light finally comes out of a light bulb from the ceiling and you tightly close your eyes for a second to get accustomed to the sudden change 
- When reopening them, you realize that you and Taeyoung found the light switch at the same time, your hand now on top of his
- You quickly retract your hand, your face feeling kinda warm, and glance at Taeyoung to find that his face, too, was very very red
- “So… um…”
- “Yep…”
- Awkward silence ensues :) 
- “Look y/n i can’t take it anymore… i’m so sorry for making you uncomfortable that night when i slept next to you in the practice room. I was tired and i didnt want to wake you up because you looked so peaceful. Im sorry :(“
- “Wait… what, Taeyoung, you didn’t make me uncomfortable at all. Actually, since that night, I’ve just been really weird. I get weird around you, not in like a bad way. My heart feels weird, my stomach too. Like it feels like having butterflies in your stomach. All this time I thought of you as a kid, and now I might actually,,,,,, seeyoulikeaman?”
- Taeyoung: :0
- sO YOU DON’T HATE ME? Or is this your way of indirectly telling me that you hate me :(“
- “NO NO I DONT HATE YOU AT ALL WHAT MADE YOU THINK THAT”
- Haha nothing just you basically avoiding me 24/7 and not talking to me ever about anything anymore - taeyoung in his head
- “Idk. Wait, what did you say before? You might see what?”
- “Uh, well basically, uhhh…”
- “Does the mighty y/n mayhaps have a crush on me? I think I heard something like “i might see you like a man now”, huh?” Cue Taeyoung grinning like the Cheshire cat
- “Pfft, no, what do you mean, i never said that…”.........
- “Ok, yes, I admit it, I may have a small, teeny crush on you. I don’t know how it happened but it happened. And I actually like the feeling I get when I’m nervous around you. That sounds really weird, doesn’t it? And now I feel stupid because you probably don’t feel the same.”
- Taeyoung who has been crushing on you literally from the second he saw you: :0
- “I have a confession, but… I’ve liked you since the day you hugged me in that practice room my first day at Starship.”
- “WHAT?”
- “You were so kind to me and the others even when I just entered the company. You supported me through all these years and I don’t think I honestly could have picked someone else better than you to crush on. You’re literally an angel in disguise, Y/N.”
- Homeboy really just poured his entire heart and feelings to you in a closet
- “Wow. I guess we were crushing on each other this whole time and didn’t notice.” You couldn’t help but chuckle at the situation. 
- “NOW KISS” - a voice outside, again
- You and Taeyoung shared an exasperated look together. 
- “Leave us alone, this is private >:(((“ 
- “No.”
- You know, Tae,” you put your hand on his arm, wiggling your eyebrows suggestively, “that kiss doesn’t sound like a bad idea” You were now sporting a wide grin. 
- “Y/N NOT YOU TOO”
Bonus
“guys! get us out of here”
“jungmo unlock them”
“...”
“jungmo!”
“i may have forgotten the lock combination…”
“JUNGMO!”

act 0. observer’s notes your name is….. finding place in exile, the ramifications of war, and the scars it makes (Posttraumatic Stress Disorder)
Discussion on PTSD and its play in writing Sophie in the Topaxi verse. A general (mental) profile of the Sorceress in this setting would be included.  Includes connecting recurring imagery and rifts spotted in-character writing in the Topaxi verse. (Kind of spoilers!)
READ AT YOUR OWN CAUTION.
Tumblr media
The story of displacement is a common tale for many of the Roles in Topaxi. Be it if you’re of those surviving past the war, having escaped the clutches of social prejudice of your home country, or even in rift from self-persecution, the belongingness that was once felt is adrift and lost to the ever-revolving and never-stopping world we live in.  As of the latest conquest conducted by the Topaxi Advancement Forces (TAF), the continent of Gaea has had several of its countries turned territories or effaced within the past seven to eight years. It has been over two years since the invasion and TAF is on standby as the last emperor had suddenly and mysteriously passed away. 
One of the last countries to be taken by the Empire was a smaller region towards the north of the continent with one coast belonging to the open sea. Such a place, which was incredibly small and considered nameless by then, was the home of the Sorceress.
In the wake of post-war life, most have found their living in making a living, while a rare few live to make a change. So ends up Sophie Hatter, the confirmed one of eight survivors from her hometown, to Topaxi with no remnants of family with her as they are located elsewhere in the Topaxi empire. (A complicated situation. It is connected to Sophie’s mother and it is the reason why Sophie is the last Hatter to leave her home country). She is holding herself together with only the clothes on her body and whatever items survived the destruction in a small messenger bag she found in the debris of her late childhood home.  So, where does Sophie find herself...? What is she like now? 
Similar to discussed cases in Topaxi with certain roles being exposed to and/or participating in the war, Sophie Hatter is one of those cases. She developed Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) that is comorbid with general anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and major depressive disorder. NOTE: Major depressive disorder would be a differential diagnosis. However, the symptoms exhibited by Sophie by the time she is 19, and after the course for acute stress disorder to be diagnosed (~3 days to a month), does reflects does include symptoms for “PTSD Criterion B or C symptoms” and  “PTSD Criterion D or E” (p 279, DSM-5). Meaning that comorbidity is possible diagnosis or this disorder soon developed because of the traumatic event in place. 
Sophie struggles with creating herself as she was before; there is an intrusion that exists within her and she is acutely aware of it and believes that she must do something about it. This nuisance she classifies, however, cannot be as easily undone as she realizes and her understanding of it is very limited, given the fact that the world of Topaxi has limited resources and research committed to psychology.
While the city-state of Topaxi can be considered modern and ahead of its time with the presence of UCAT, their progression and developments are not concurrent (yet) with the going-ons of today. While its history may not have been dedicated to vulnerable populations and certain experiences they might have faced, changes are being made with new projects, but there is still a way’s to go. 
Sophie Hatter, externally, is a persistently active figure, working with the newly made community in her apartment and living day-to-day with newly found relationships. However, she remains within arms’ distance with others while providing help, working to her best to keep stability around her as much as she can. Her schedule, during the day, is extremely limited and refined by her to avoid as many external variables that may affect her and she does not want to even imagine or experience how she’ll respond. 
Internally, however, Sophie Hatter is still a young woman who is grasping with the reality of what has happened to her during the invasion. Preceding the conquest, she already exhibited behaviors of a childhood that left her perception of the world altered and her self-perception low (to the point of being uncaring to her own safety). However, the inclusion of adversity from events during the war and the continuous exposure from her curse to her escape has heightened and created characteristics, responses, and coping mechanisms to handle what the mind is still attempting to fully comprehend/accept has happened.
Be note, that there are two events in the war that affected her: (1) discovering her decimated town/facing the its destruction and (2) her time before her “escape.” 
Following DSM-5 and the Diagnostic Criteria for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (figure 43.10), Sophie has the following symptoms and tendencies underneath these particular categories:  (Numbers denote which event is tied to what.)
A  “Exposure to actual or threatened death, serious injury, or sexual violation in one (or more) of the following ways” [EVENT] 
Directly experiencing the traumatic event - (1) The travel through the desolated country and seeing first-hand accounts of dead bodies, murder, and other atrocities ; (2) Detainment and what happened during then.
Witnessing, in person, the event(s) as it occurred to others - (1) The final bombings and scourge that swept over the valley ; (2) Was forced to watch mutilation and unethical experiments
B  “Presence of one (or more) of the following intrusion symptoms associated with the traumatic event(s), beginning after the traumatic event(s) occurred” [INTRUSION]
Recurrent, involuntary, and intrusive distressing memories of the traumatic event(s) - (1) & (2) happens a lot but does not come out through direct and perfect images of what has happened. Usually plays out that she sees the dead bodies and imagines fire around her if moving too quickly or in areas that she avoids because of stimuli that can trigger her.  
Intense or prolonged psychological distress at exposure to internal or external cues that symbolize or resemble an aspect of the traumatic event(s) - Will enter a state of intrusive thoughts that will repeatedly tell her to leave and push her to go away. Would end up apologizing repeatedly and would begin her move as soon as possible. 
Marked physiological reactions to internal or external cues that symbolize or resemble an aspect of the traumatic event(s) - Turns blank in the face and stares out whenever stimuli (or a combination) is in contact with her ; memories will begin resurfacing mainly through smell, but she has routinely removed herself ASAP. Flight or fight response will be immensely present and it DOES depend on her hypervigilance and whether she is moonlighting as Simeon as not. if moonlighting, the “fight” reaction WILL be used and will devolve into violence. If not, Sophie’s immediate response will be to leave and leave as soon as possible, no matter what it is she is doing. Would end up shallowly breathing like there’s smoke in the air, holding herself, and bowing her head as if avoiding seeing something before her. 
C “Persistent avoidance of stimuli associated with the traumatic event(s), beginning after the traumatic event(s) occurred, as evidenced by one or both of the following” [AVOIDANCE]
Avoidance of or efforts to avoid distressing memories, thoughts, or feelings about or closely associated with the traumatic event(s) - (1) Continued rejection and avoidance of topics relating to latest conquests and usually avoids districts that are heavy with TAF occupation (bases, ports, air fields, etc.) ; 
Avoidance of or efforts to avoid external reminders (people, places, conversations, activities, objects, situations) that arouse distressing memories, thoughts, or feelings about or closely associated with the traumatic event(s) - (2) Adamant refusal to enter or get close to medical facilities and certain smells like ammonia will make her hostile and intense (first mentioned in Headcanon Dump #1)
D “Negative alterations in cognitions and mood associated with the traumatic event(s), beginning or worsening after the traumatic event(s) occurred, as evidenced by two (or more) of the following” [NEGATIVE ALTERNATIONS IN COGNITIONS AND MOOD ASSOCIATED WITH THE EVENT]
Inability to remember an important aspect of the traumatic event(s) (typically due to dissociative amnesia and not to other factors such as head injury, alcohol, or drugs) - Confirmed for dissociative amnesia where the events of (1) and (2) meld together and the timeline is mixed together ; there are very specific images that do not reflect the real scene or are reduced from the original signifier (I.E., the specific image of draping/pouring red)  
Persistent and exaggerated negative beliefs or expectations about oneself, others, or the world (e.g., “I am bad,” “No one can be trusted,” “The world is completely dangerous,” “My whole nervous system is permanently ruined”) - Consistent and returning thoughts of worthlessness for self (’Why am I still here versus....?” ; others are seen to be temporary in her life and cannot be held onto for long ( “they need something from me, that’s why they’re here..”)
Persistent, distorted cognitions about the cause or consequences of the traumatic event(s) that lead the individual to blame himself/herself or others - Consistent blame on herself for (2) but (1) is vehemently targeted towards both herself when it comes to the deaths of her community -AND- people she distinguishes as responsible for the outcome (Topaxi officials and, at times, associates of TAF ) and authority figures from her country 
Persistent negative emotional state (e.g., fear, horror, anger, guilt, or shame) - Amplified when Simeon and the persona is seen as an outlet to let out these emotions she believe she needs to keep in line ; usually guilt, anger, and shame meshed together, which leads to fueling reckless behavior and decisions that may hurt herself (which she dubs as necessary)
E “Marked alterations in arousal and reactivity associated with the traumatic event(s), beginning or worsening after the traumatic event(s) occurred, as evidenced by two (or more) of the following”  [MARKED ALTERNATION IN AROUSAL AND REACTIVITY] 
Irritable behavior (with little to no provocation) towards objects and people - Most visible when moonlighting as Simeon. 
Reckless or self-destructive behavior - Refer to purpose of Simeon persona and her views on her livelihood and how she actively “punishes” herself. 
Hypervigilance. - Already present in Sophie, worsened from war. Contributing to this would be her consistency to keep her and her night persona separated; add on need to keep herself on a low-profile and not recognizable in certain locations with medical personnel and researchers. 
Sleep disturbance (e.g., difficulty falling or staying asleep or restless sleep) - Already present in Sophie, worsened from war. 
F “Duration of the disturbance (Criteria B, C, D, and E) is more than 1 month.”
Has been persistent throughout the ~2 years she has been living in Topaxi.
G “The disturbance causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.”
Confirmed. 
H “The disturbance is not attributable to the physiological effects of a substance (e.g., medication, alcohol) or another medical condition.”
Not able to be found in context of the comorbidity exhibited by Sophie. Many new symptoms took form after the experiences she had in war. To note, she has been showing signs of a new comorbidity (substance reliance, alcohol). 
SPECIFICATION: Depersonalization with delayed expression (taken a year for these symptoms to begin). 
 - - - 
Sophie Hatter, as previously described, is someone who is coping with trauma through the best way she knows and has done before with her other trauma: ignoring it and shunning herself. However, she has particular outlets that may come of casual consumption of alcohol which happens concerningly frequent throughout certain days if stimuli are present. 
Additionally, while Simeon is throughout the criteria, they were not originally made as a result of what occurred. The original creation of Simeon was meant to be a persona she could use to live a “double life” as she needed to make more money and dangerous work paid well.  Having them as separate lives, in her eyes, keeps her safe from anyone targeting or her family (but, it is clear that her sisters and stepmother are not on the island).
Instead, they have became a violent outlet for her internalized dread, anguish, and anger. Having the “informant” as an extension of herself, excusing bad decisions and feeling out of her body while the world around her happens, has proven detrimental to the process of the awareness, acknowledgement, assistance, and acceptance of her condition. 
Here are several examples of Sophie’s PTSD appearing:
Self-harm/demanding herself to be hurt/trying to mark herself and punish herself
Haggardly, Simeon grimaces while their vest was shed off and resting on the tower hanger, alongside their binder beside it. Their dress shirt was half-way unbuttoned. Over their exposed shoulders and underneath their breasts were imprints.
Scarred fingertip digs into their collarbone. A sharp jab into their clavicle, feeling a minor ache as they push further.  Bruise, damn it. Make some mark. Make color, be red.
-- EXCERPT FROM THIS DRABBLE (SOPHIE’S DISPOSITION).
Association with red and the bleeding of traumatic events (1) and (2) joining together, causing her to respond blankly to the situation before being distracted by Yunuen speaking
Red skies, red sparks, red flow, red blossoms in the sky, red stained on metal, red dyeing gowns, red fringes framing a scratched off face that hovers over your pinned body, red hot pain searing into your body, red, red, red red-
-- EXCEPT FROM THIS THREAD (FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH YUNUEN). 
Survivor’s guilt and persistent negativity directed at herself because of her survival (The marks are related to (2) and the thought is related to (1)): 
On her right hip, roughly the same size as the other, but longer as it had dragged along said hip, the scar was horizontal and deeper than its neighbor, visible from its crinkled appearance. Reminders of life’s misplaced luck, she concludes, not used wisely by Fate this time around. How silly of them to pick me.
-- EXCERPT FROM SILVER STIGMATA (PHYSICAL SURVEY)
Hypervigilance and abundance of stimuli that make her extremely uncomfortable/distrusting of situation: 
A heaviness swells in their chest, an unshakable pressure tightening their rib cage, and yet, this was only normal symptoms of living a life like this. Industrial foulness mixed with fresh market fragrances from the decadent and wealthy market by the mouth of the alley; all the more gag-inducing for the young informant.
However, they clutch onto the empty box in their hands, making out the plastic ridges against the faintest callouses on the tip of their fingers They weren’t ignorant to the truth; how these sounds that place them on edge, instead soothed others. After all, this was home for many. But, for Simeon – rather, the one beneath the mask, it was not. And it never would be.
-- EXCERPT FROM THREAD (discontinued as person is inactive in verse)
One of the first instances of Sophie’s PTSD affecting her and being active in a thread would be her firstt, but short-lived, interaction with Tatyana. The avoidance nature and immediate removal from the situation happens in this case when Tatyana revs up the engine on her motorcycle, shouting from a stranger from the apartments joins in, and the heavy and direct smell and vision of smog. 
Here’s the break down: 
Physiological numbness in the moment; mind is still active, but taking a backseat and removing herself from situation (recognizing self as powerless in moment):
The shouting began as Sophie turns her face away, feeling her skin crawl to a coldness. The words that left his mouth were no less understandable but the ferocity and indignation in his tone was far too recognizable. If she considered it, she could’ve spoken back and defused the situation. The gift of tongues came with the ability to grant passage for others who can’t be brought together by difference of languages.
Physiological response and addition of stimuli that directly relate back to the image of hometown [INTRUSION]: 
Sophie Hatter’s eyes are now but a distant gaze over towards the taller blonde, only wishing like she did when she was younger. To disappear, to toil and fade away, to crawl back to whence she came from. Roaring engines, the smell of smoke, it was sickening. It was inespacable in the floating island, but it smelled too much like what remained of home. Add onto the shouting and it was already enough to make her head ache.
(Unknowingly) reenacting particular body language used during trauma; feeling of helplessness in situation that is out of her control: 
Some of her body was already numbing at the fingertips and she was pulling the black collar of her turtleneck over her mouth and nose. It wouldn’t work to cushion and black the sounds, their volume growing louder and louder like the pain in her head.
Active avoidance, mind begins flight-or-fight situation with altered perceptive of reality: 
“I need somewhere quiet.” She feebly comments, glancing back to the apartment buildings, and believing that there were more people creeping by the windows. The silver-haired woman promptly steps aside. Now, she was ready to shuffle away and avoid the incoming shouts on the block if it continued.
She wasn’t a fan of the memories it brought.
Sudden and abrupt removal from situation, signal of struggling to keep body language together as she wants to avoid an episode: 
“Good luck,” she waves a hand, glancing back to the stranger, before balling her hands into  the pockets of her sweater. She began her quiet leave.
- - - 
More is to be written about Sophie in how she is greatly affected by this. Some drabbles have been scrapped and were planned to express how deep the trauma works. Though, it can be already seen in how Sophie views death, treats her body, a persistently negative view on certain parties and the outcome of life, etc. 
Drabbles that were scrapped but would be considered “canon” that relay back to Sophie’s trauma would include:
As Simeon at Lunazul, she ends up getting to a brawl with someone after the table next to hers is repeatedly mentioning the conquests and graphic detail of what has happened to unnamed people (unnamed nationalistic person). Ends up intensely cold, getting up from her seat, and nearly beating the man unconscious with far too much wrath in her body; she rushes out of the bar and has a sobbing breakdown several blocks away.
A confrontation of “Red” that she remembers time and time again; a consistent night terror that follows her nd makes her unable to sleep some nights; actively ‘speaks’ to it while in sleep paralysis and it acknowledges her well. Scene usually ends up with “Red” above her, face reveals to be face heavily mutilated and gouged, screaming loudly and repeatedly at Sophie.
A shutdown in public when there are large amounts of traffic near her because a detour led her to the highway; leading her to hide somewhere and refusing to come out until “they drive away,” which makes her miss the day she’s meant to be working at Miya’s detective office. 
A short meeting with one of her neighbor’s children, a young 26-year-old working at a hospital in Central and professor at UCAT, still wearing their scrubs and the heavy smell of ammonia on them. The image itself leaves Sophie cutting conversation short and retreating to her apartment. 
- - -
Sophie Hatter is a 20-year-old facing the aftermath of exile from her own country and self and the trauma coming with displacement and surviving the horrors of the world. She is by no means a hopeless case or a lost cause. 
But, she is someone who is going to go through development as someone who struggles constantly: as someone who is unsure of what to do with her life, as much as she wants to live normally, her stability and infrastructure has been destroyed her very eyes. She attempts to reconstruct herself but fails to realize how that’d harm her because she is actively avoiding what has happened to her and denies herself that all of this happened. 
She believes she can “make up” for something she calls an inadequacy and blames herself for. She “makes up” for it by being a community figure in a place that she would never feel right in or safe in; she "makes up” for it by being a reputable person who would never turn down anyone and offers help whenever she can; she “makes up” by continuously lying to herself and hurting herself. 
Part of her screams, another part weeps; one part wants to take vengeance, tear apart everything, and the other wants to curl up and lose herself to the numbness. But, she persists in her hurt with a solution that even worsens these parts that want comfort and healing. 
It is a difficult reality she must navigate, which is difficult because she is alone.
No matter how anyone looks at it, the path of exile is a lonesome one when you do not recognize there are someone else’s footprints on the dirt road. Her feet are long tired, dirtied, and bloodied by how far she dragged herself across this time to figure herself out.... But, with each passing day, it seems she’s getting further and further out from anyone’s reach, and before she knows it, she’ll be going down a path of destruction that’d engulf those around her in ash, fire, and death.

Oh and his ending, which is suppose to wrap all this up?
A. “They have the lamp that attracts Grimm, that won’t be masked by the Grimm! They’re so stupid!”
Fun Fact-When Ren and Jaune do their trick-It’s a split second so they can get in front of the Leviathan and Ruby can blast with her Silver Eyes.
“A pair of Manta aircraft are seen firing shots at the Leviathan. Suddenly, the Leviathan unleashes an energy beam attack from its mouth. It shifts the beam over to one of the poles powering the hard-light Dust barrier, destroying it. The Leviathan roars.
Ruby and her friends watch in horror from their aircraft.
Oscar: It tore straight through...!
Air Control: All squadrons, fall back to evacuation procedures. Disengage Leviathan! I repeat, disengage! Over!
Ruby: No, wait!Ruby runs up to the radio.
Qrow: Ruby!
Ruby: We can stop it!
Air Control: Who is this? Identify yourself!
Ruby: I'm a Huntress. My team and I are heading to the Leviathan and can weaken it for you to attack!
Everyone looks at Ruby in shock.
Jaune: We can?
Ruby: I can.
Maria: Ruby, when I said "trial by fire"--
Ruby: I did it at Beacon and at the farm.
Weiss: You really think you can do it now?
Ruby: I don't have a choice.
Air Control: Manta 5-1, your ship is currently flagged as hostile. You will receive no support, over.
Ruby: (picking up radio) Fine, we'll do it alone if we have to.
From her mech, Cordovin overhears Ruby's radio chatter.
Ruby: We can hit it while it's stopped at the next barrier. Ren, you're up!
Ren and Jaune proceed to combine their Semblances, masking the airship as it weaves between the air battles between Grimm and Atlas forces. The Leviathan makes its way to the next barrier and charges its energy breath again.
Qrow: We're too late! Pull up!
The Manta aircraft pulls up out of the way as the Leviathan fires its breath, destroying the next barrier and toppling a cupola off one of the buildings in Argus. Ren and Jaune collapse as their Auras are drained.’
The lamp wouldn’t matter. And it didn’t.
B. ‘Why is everyone shocked to hear Ruby suggesting to help? It’s sooo dumb!”
Wanna know why I gave so much context above? Because above- you see what FMF is referring to. ... Yeah, the shock wasn’t from deciding to help- It was from Ruby saying they can stall the Grimm.
So FMF just lied. Again. And used the commentary while misrepresenting the scene. Again.
C. ‘That’s what the Writers decide to remember? They talk as though the scenes Ruby referenced never happened!’
Yeah, remember what I said about FMF lying? Well, the commentary here isn’t edited over a scene from the show and look at the lines he choose-
‘I’m curious what the idea was, this is a pretty bold move right?’
“It came down to, they had to try.’
Doesn’t really should like they’re referring what was said right? And Kerry’s voice sounds different from how the other guy’s voice sounds like (as in, it’s as if Kerry’s voice doesn’t follow directly from what the other guy said). Considering that FMF has already lied in this segment- why should I trust that he didn’t just take a piece of the commentary out of context and sell it to an audience that buys outright lies?
Edit: Fun fact, I actually asked for a transcription of this part of the RWBY Volume 6 commentary and a user by the name of Changyuraptor did it for me.
Wanna see what was actually said here?
“Chris: "I'm curious what the idea was, like this is a pretty bold move right, like she had just not even 5 or 6 chapters ago talked to Maria about the concept of just using her silver eyes to begin with and she's looking at this massive Grimm."
Kerry: "It came back down to- there's actually some slightly different earlier versions of the speech that was a little bit different, but Miles was like (I think he's saying Miles' name here, not 100% sure) 'they have to try" you know, it doesn't look like anything else is working, if she can at least try and it works to any degree it's something you know, I think what was a bigger part of this message too is I think a lot of people probably would have told her not to do it but she needs to follow what she thinks is best."
They weren’t talking about Ruby’s idea specifically, nor is anything said here indicating they forgot anything.
In fact, he cuts off most of what was said (even cutting stuff said INBETWEEN what he used) JUST to make that point.
So yeah- definitive proof he lies using the commentary.
D. ‘Oh Atlas doesn’t want help after asking for help! How stupid!’
“Air Control: Who is this? Identify yourself!
Ruby: I'm a Huntress. My team and I are heading to the Leviathan and can weaken it for you to attack!
-
Air Control: Manta 5-1, your ship is currently flagged as hostile. You will receive no support, over.
Ruby: (picking up radio) Fine, we'll do it alone if we have to.”
Not what they said FMF.
Also he tries saying the group was surprised when Ruby said they helped when that’s NOT what she said. Again. So he made the same lie TWICE.
Also also, he misspelled Atlas as ‘Atlus’. As in, the SMT/Persona company. It would have even registered as an incorrect spelling when he made the spelling. This was a video in production over a YEAR.
E. ‘Atlas hates the idea of Huntsmen!’
*Shows Ironwood giving a bunch of teams the option to walk away from the Fall of Beacon*
That’s not even connected to anything here...well, here as in the review because this does reinforce the thematic idea the show presents that you should stand and fight.
... Did FMF just support Team RWBY’s stance in Volume 7?
F. ‘NO body would tell a Huntress to not save a town full of people!’
*looks over at the people calling Team RWBY stupid for trying to save all of Mantle in Volume 7*
Cool, now even his laziness is biting him in the ass.
G. “THIS FICTIONAL PERSON WANTED A HUNTRESS SO THE REAL PEOPLE WHO THE COMMENTARY IS REFERRING TO DON’T EXIST!”
Fuck, how does anyone take him seriously?
H. ‘DUr Atlas man being stupid!’
Oh so not backing up the STOLEN SHIP that was JUST IN A FIGHT WITH THEIR COMMANDER and NOT KNOWING THE PEOPLE ON BOARD PERSONALLY is stupid huh? He should just risk his men’s lives for an enemy that SAYS they can help but they don’t KNOW that.
Gee, what were you saying about logic again?
I. ‘Maria flies into a dangerous spot, so stupid!’
Gee, not like point blank range would be a good idea or that they were already on that course but that’d require FMF to not edit a scene to suit himself and we all know intellectual integrity is toxic to his very existence./s
J. ‘How do the shield generators get hit if the shields are up?’
*Shown: the shield generators NOT BEING BEHIND THE SHIELDS*
K. ‘Hey, why try to get it’s attention when you have lamp!’
*Episode 1: shows that a bunch of panicking people would attract the Grimm over the lamp*
L. ‘DUR, REN’S SEMBLANCE!’
*Shown: Ren’s AURA AKA SEMBLANCE FUEL SOURCE BREAKING*
M. ‘Ruby takes lamp despite distraction!’
Hm, gee, almost like her plan was to FREEZE the damn thing and it didn’t notice her even while flying around with the lamp.
N. ‘THEY FORGET LAMP WAS DANGEROUS BUT REMEMBER IT STOP TIME!’
*points above*
O. ‘DUR< MECH FIGHT ONLY STOPPED FINAL BATTLE FOR LESS TWO MINUTES!’
You know...and taking out the weapon made to kill the Grimm for a long period of time...and Cordovon’s actions SUMMONED the Grimm...and all the shields were down and the breath attack that could level half the city in one shot takes about five seconds to charge up.
Gosh, it’s almost like he relies on his audience not knowing any better...
P, ‘SALEM THINKS HER PROBLEM SOLVED WITH FLYING MONKEY WHICH COULD HAPPEN IN EPISODE 2!’
1. You cut out the WHOLE REST OF THE ARMY.
2. ‘Hazel: There's an old saying. 
he two notice Hazel Rainart enter the room and stand next to them. 
Hazel: If you want something done right... do it yourself. 
Salem looks up to the army of Grimm she has gathered, before turning around and using her magic on the black pools again, engulfing the entire scene...’
3. Salem’s problem is the news Ozpin lived...delievered to her in Episode 4. Not Episode 2.
Q. ‘THEY GO TO ATLAS LIKE BAD MAN OZPIN SAY THEY DO! THEY NO QUESTION ANYTHING!’
Question.
What the fuck are they suppose to do?
Can’t wait anywhere, you yourself admitted that they showed the lamp attracted Grimm AND you never stopped bitching about Volume 5.
Vale is out.
Mistral is out, no Raven.
Vacuo is clear across the other side of Remnant.
Can’t even talk it out because people wouldn’t stop bitching about the talking in Volume 5.
You act like there’s any OTHER logical choice, FMF. Or that Ozpin’s lies would change ANYTHING about his decision about going to Atlas being bad.
But then again, that’d require your brain to function in regard to RWBY.
Then he goes on to say some shit about how everyone is just back to the way they are and how the Volume was pointless. I’d discuss that...but I want you to look at everything he said here. All the lying he did. All the suspect shit he pulled. All the crap he ignored. All the positions he abandoned in Volume 5 to bitch about here.
All the piss he spewed for nothing.
Look at this and think to yourself: Even if I saw the whole thing and heard his reasonings-
Would you believe a word he says?
I had to stop myself from wheezing I laughed at him so hard. This is the video equivalent of that drowning meme
Tumblr media
He CREATED every single bit of his situation. He CHOSE to see things this way even after it took mental gynmastics to see it so.
It’s hilarious he acts like he’s in so much pain that HE INFLICTED TO HIMSELF.
I gave FMF a chance. His first point and his last point to impress me even a little. What did I get?
 An ironic comedy routine that makes Beavis and Butt Head look like Steven Hawking.

Survey #309
“show me how to lie - you’re getting better all the time  /  and turning all against one is an art that’s hard to teach.”
Have you ever played Jackbox Games? If so, which ones of their party games are your favorites? No, but I looooove watching Mark and The Boys play them on charity streams. They can make up the funniest shit. I can't recall the name of the specific one I'm thinking of... but I enjoy watching most of them. I do think one or two are boring, though. Do you have artistic friends? If so, have you got their artwork displayed? I have some very talented friends, but I don't have anything of theirs displayed somewhere. Have you ever considered pole dancing? Why/why not? No. It takes an incredible amount of strength, plus confidence I don't have. That and I'm just not into it. What's the last thing you fixed yourself? Uhhhhhhh bitch I couldn't tell ya. Are there any CDs you've held onto for sentimental reasons? No. Did you read the Barbie magazines with comics made with the actual dolls? "I didn’t know that was a real thing." <<<< Me either. What's the last thing you knitted? I've never knitted before. Who was your first online friend? Emma. :') She was the first person who joined my RP mob back in the Animal Planet forum days. Why do you take surveys? Be honest. Boredom, distraction, and sometimes I just wanna ramble about whatever. Does mail get delivered to your door or do you have a mailbox outside? Our mailbox is by the side of the road at the end of our driveway. Your doorbell rings out of the blue. What's your reaction? Let Mom answer it. I don't answer the door ever if I don't expect someone or can peek outside and don't recognize them. Are all the lamps in your home LED or other energy saving lights? I don't know. Do you prefer writing by hand or typing? Typing. I can't write very long at all before my carpal tunnel flares up. Think of one of the biggest decisions you've had to make in your life...If you made a different choice, how different would your life be now? I'd be dead, that simple. Have you ever taken a course on CPR? No. What makes you laugh most effortlessly? You can guess it pretty easily. What makes you cry most effortlessly? I make it a rule that I "can't" listen to "Eternally Yours" by Motionless In White because there hasn't been even ONE occasion where it hasn't made me cry, even when I was stupid enough to binge it because it's just a good song. I've broken that "rule" before because I do just genuinely enjoy the song, but I know the pain truly isn't worth it, so I haven't heard it in a decently long time. What is the best smell in the whole world? Cinnamon rolls, probably. My body wash is currently that kind of smell, and Jesus Christ it's the best part of showering. Do you wear a watch? No. Can you tell time from an analog clock? Yes. What a time it'll be when kids can't anymore... Is there a number or a combination of numbers that feels important to you? Only dates, but not numbers themselves. What is the most socially awkward thing you've done? *gestures at my life as a whole* Is your computer decorated in any way? No. If your old class was to have a reunion, would you attend it? No. No. I don't want to relive my high school experience; it would be too painful for me to willingly walk into. What's the worst thing that's ever happened to you? I would say "the breakup," but technically it was letting him basically own me and my every neuron of joy. Not by his will of course, but my own. I was stupid and just... handed those rights over without really realizing it. I can harp forever and ever and EVER about the importance of making sure you own yourself and your emotions. Do you ever donate money to charity? If so, which charity and why? Blah blah blah, I don't get an income, you know this. Whenever I do, I 100% plan on donating to every charity stream Mark ever hosts again, as well as some other people's. I'd love to donate to a lot of places. Would you ever want to get married? If so, why? Yes, because society has made it too instilled in me that it's just like... this ultimate validation of "forever" with your partner, even though I know you can be just as or even far more invested in your relationship without marriage. The only *true* benefit of marriage imo is for legal and financial reasons, but yeah, I still want it. Like I said, it's too deeply embedded in that brain of mine that it's a relationship goal. Why do you live the way you do? I'm not even living the way I want to, so... Have you ever abused an animal? No, and I say "fuck you" with every ounce of sincerity and loathing if you have. Do you think animals are less important than humans? If so, why? Nope. We share this earth and grew from the same roots, so what *really* makes us better? We might be smarter (generally) and more developed as the apex predator, but that does not equate to being more important than, say, even a gnat. That creature has the exact same level of rights to be here as the human species does. I could go on and on and on about this topic. How close was the last person close to you who has died? Not extremely, but she was still important to and loved by me. Grandma and I were very, very different and butted heads more than once, but her love was unconditional, and she showed boundless kindness to others. She showed a courage I see as unmatched in the face of death. I truly, deeply, in the very core of my heart hope she is at peace and experiencing all joys she ever wished for. How does death in general make you feel? Well, it depends on how I'm looking at it. I fully accept it is an inevitable phase in simply existing that none of us will ever evade, so it's not exactly terrifying to me, though of course I don't want it anytime soon. If I'm thinking about people I love dying, I definitely get sad about it and scared of that possibly eternal separation. Is there a person you absolutely loathe? If so, why do you loathe them? Not that I know personally, no. Has anyone ever told you that you're rude? If so, what caused it? No; I think I'm very mannerly, honestly. Have you ever seen a therapist? I've regularly seen therapists since I started middle school. I advocate for everyone to have one, honestly, whether you have a mental illness or not. Have you ever been homeless? In technical terms, yes, but a friend let me stay with her until Mom and I settled into a new place. Have you ever been completely broke? That's the actual story of my life. Well, not me personally considering I've never had to take care of myself financially, but my mom struggles very, very badly with this, and mind you, she's frugal. Just disgustingly underpaid when she worked, and her current status with disability isn't exactly incredibly generous. I live under her roof, so. Have you ever had a steady job? No. Have you ever needed a loan? If so, what for? Have you paid it back? Yes, for school, and no. I do NOT want to know how in debt I am with schools. Have you ever wanted to go to space? Not seriously, no. What's the weirdest thing you've ever seen or heard? I am 99.99% sure mine and Jason's old roommates were having some ~kinky~ sex once while I was alone on the couch against their bedroom. Preeeetty sure the girl was making meowing sounds. They were furries (who I want to emphasize have zero judgment from me; I actually think they're very brave and creative), so that was... something I definitely wasn't used to hearing, haha. What has been the most exciting moment of your life thus far? Probably when Mark N O T I C E D me on Tumblr by reblogging a gif I made of him and his pupper, and I LITERALLY struggled to sleep for three days lmfaoooo. How many birds can you name just by looking at them? Uhhhh a pretty decent amount, I'd say. Which birds are most common around your neighborhood? Crows, sparrows, cardinals and bluejays if you're lucky, robins... pretty basic stuff like that. What do you think is the most interesting sea creature? Octopi are absolutely fascinating with their intelligence. How do you reset your head to zero, so to speak? Take a nap. That usually works. Have you ever gone exploring an abandoned building? Yeah, I love that shit and really wish I could do it more. Bring my camera, too. Are there any foreign television shows you enjoy watching? Some animes. Do you have any clocks in your house that chime when the hour changes? Do those types of clocks annoy you? No. I actually quite like them, though. Has anyone ever let you borrow some of their music, promising you'd love it, but you really didn't? Did you lie to the person and agree, or tell the truth, that you hated it? My dad lent me his Shinedown CD once clearly without thinking I could just look up the album online, haha... He's an old clueless man, leave 'im be. But anyway, of course I listened to it for him and I enjoyed it; I especially loved "The Human Radio," "Kill Your Conscience" and "Pyro." Have you had the same doctor pretty much your whole life, or have you went to a bunch of different ones over the years? Have you ever been to the doctor thinking something was horribly wrong with you, but it turned out to be something minor? Mine has changed a few times, but I haven't had "a bunch." As for the second question, not to my recollection. Is the background on your phone a default picture, or a picture you took? What is the picture of? The lock screen is a pastel-styled list of mental health reminders: "i am strong, i am loved, i am enough." My home screen has been some adorable meerkat pups for a while, which I didn't take. What is your favorite type of print (ex: zebra, stripes, argyle)? Do you have a lot of things with this print on it? Ummmm maybe plaid? No. Are there any stores you feel uncomfortable going into (ex: if you dress girly, do you feel uncomfortable going into Hot Topic)? Are there any stores that you refuse, or just never go in to? The only situation I could think of would be a sex shop. That'd be so fuckin uncomfortable. What is your favorite brand of clothing? Is this a brand that is sort of expensive, or is it pretty affordable? I'm heavily biased towards Cloak, haha. I just support anything and everything Mark takes part it, and it's his and jacksepticeye's business. I have one shirt and it's genuinely great quality and reall comfy. I wouldn't call its products expensive, but they're not cheap, either. What person do you text the most? My mom or Sara, depending on the day. Do you have any pictures that always make you laugh, or cry? Are they digital pictures, or printed pictures? What is the significance? No. Not pictures I have anymore, at least. Have you ever eaten raw pumpkin? Omg I would never. I hate the flavor of any sort of pumpkin food. Does your car have a name? I don't have my own car, but Mom jokingly calls hers "Olivia." Who was the last person you made plans with? One of my sister's in-laws that's actually the mother of one of my closest friends contacted me to plan some family pictures. What is the rudest thing someone has done recently towards you? I can't think of anything recent. How do you feel about your hair right now? It needs to be trimmed and dyed. How fast have you driven a car? I think accidentally leaning towards 80 on a highway. When you're hanging out with friends + you become bored, do you just leave or endure the boredom? Given I can't leave without a car, I deal with it. What did you last plug into your computer? What were you doing with this? The charger for obvious reasons. What color(s) have you dyed your hair? Red, purple, black, then red, purple, and lighter brown highlights. I really wish I could dye it more and actually have the color stick... Was your first kiss perfect? It was to me. What song did you hear last? I have "Over The Mountain" by Ozzy on now. (: Does anyone have any blackmail on you? No. Have you ever walked into the guys' bathroom? HA, once during a teacher work day (my mom was an assistant) at my elementary school. My sisters and friends went in there to be little "rebels." I remember being mega confused with urinals, haha. Then as a teen and adult, I've been in the dance studio's boy's restroom as well as a church's to help Mom clean. Who was the last person you had a deep conversation with? My therapist. Are you shy? I am VERY shy. Are you talkative? Generally, no, but when I'm in a very good mood, I tend to be. Has your most recent ex ever seen you cry? Oh jeez, she saw me wail once. When was the last time you were called "cute"? I'm not sure. Would you rather be called "hot", "cute" or "beautiful"? "Beautiful." Do you have a little sister? Yep. Definitely not "little" anymore, though. About to have her Master's in social work... How many arguments have you had with the last person you kissed? Given our childhood, we've fought a lot, but mostly just as kids over very, very stupid things. As adults, we've had a serious argument once or twice and then just some very minor disagreements sprinkled in there. Do you know anyone who's been arrested? Oh yes. What're you planning on doing after this? Another survey. What time did you go to sleep last night? Damn, it wasn't even 8:00. I was EXHAUSTED and actually slept decently for once in my life. Do you like waking up to good morning texts in the morning? I mean, I'd think most people would. It's a sweet, easy way of someone showing they care and think about you. Have you left some things unsaid with a certain person? Yeah. What was the last thing that made you happy? We had syrup to add to my breakfast, haha. I don't know if these are a thing everywhere, but I looove what we just call "pancakes on a stick," which is like a corndog, but with sausage and pancake batter. Dipping it in syrup is amaaaaaaziiiiiiing. Do you like the smell of rain? I don't love it, but it's refreshing sometimes. It's mostly just associated with a bittersweet memory, so it can be triggering to smell. I know, that sounds immensely stupid. What was the last thing you took a picture of? A very, very relatable meme to show Sara, haha. She doesn't have a Facebook, so that'll do. When you go to McDonald's, what drink do you usually get? I always get a Coke. What’s the nickname of your home state? Tar Heel State, from discovering tar in the since aptly-named Tar River. Have you ever thought about your wedding? I mean duh. What’s the worse type of weather in your opinion? Hot and humid, ugh. Especially right after a summer afternoon thunderstorm. It's unbearable. You can't fucking breathe outside, and you set one foot out of the door and it's soaked. Do you have a Kindle or iPad or neither? Neither. Would you rather read or write? Write. When was the last time someone took a picture of you? The time Misty visited last month and we were taking family pictures. Would you rather see Taylor Swift or Carrie Underwood in concert? I wouldn't pay for either or even willingly go to one or the other, but if I had to go for whatever reason, Carrie. She has a beautiful voice as well as a good handful of songs I actually like. I'm not a Taylor fan; there are only like, two old songs by her I enjoy. When someone screws you over, do you get back with revenge? No. I may not be the best at adulting, but damn, I'm not that bad. Name something negative that you hate about yourself? I overthink like a motherfucker. About everything. Is there a dead end road near where you live? I live on one. Huh, that's actually been the case three times... wow. Four if you count the apartment. Who are you tired of seeing in the news a lot (celebrities)? I don't care. I don't even pay attention to the news, other than Covid updates. Have you ever had to call and complain about a product you bought? No. Name something positive you love about yourself: I care a lot about people. Can you smell anything right now? No, besides however my house naturally smells that I'm numb to. Have you spoken to a relative on the phone today? No. How does alcohol affect you? I flush in my face very obviously, and I become more outgoing and talkative. Have you ever eaten tofu and if so, did you enjoy it? I've never tried it, but I very much doubt I'd enjoy it. What was the last type of meat you ate? Pork. What colour is your toothpaste? Blue and white. Have you ever been suspended from school? No. Have you ever inhaled helium? Once, I believe. Are you a fan of Adam Sandler? Yeah, I think he's pretty funny and a talented actor. What was the last fruit you ate? An apple. A candied apple for Valentine's Day, but still an apple, haha. Have you ever watched Parks and Recreation? With Sara's family, yeah. It was fine. Have you watched a movie this week? I haven't watched a movie in many months. Have you set an alarm today? Yeah, just to ensure I was up for group therapy today. Have you asked someone for advice today? No. What was the last website you were on, other than this one? YouTube. Have you ever been to Hawaii? No, but it'd be cool. Well, thinking about the humidity... Have you watched more than an hour of TV today? No; I haven't watched television in a long time. Do you keep magazines by your toilet? No. The last time you got dressed up, where did you go? I got my makeup done and put on a dress for a Halloween "witch" shoot with my friend and some other people. The pictures pretty much don't exist because they're blurry as shit and way too dark because we left too late. I don't know why we even left the house to do it by the time everyone figured their shit out. I was really disappointed because I thought Summer made me look really, really pretty. ;_; Did the one person who hurt you the most in your life apologize? Yes, but I don't know if he really meant it. He might have just wanted me off his back, but I kinda feel now that he meant it, at least regarding how it happened. Are you proud of who you are? Only in the sense that I think I have a good heart. Otherwise, no. I've accomplished so little. Have you ever been to Costco? We don't have those here, so no. Do/did you have to wear a uniform to your high school? No, thank Christ. Only in middle school. How many video games do you own? A whole lot. Have you ever been to a casino? If so, which one(s)? No. Have you ever visited a sex shop? No. How many sets of keys do you have for your house? One. Do you give spare keys to your place to your friends and family? Our landlord/family friend has one. Then obviously my sisters do, too. Have you ever ridden a bicycle through a busy city? Oh hell no. Do you use Instagram? How often do you post there? Yes, two for each of my photography "styles." I don't post a lot myself, but I react to stuff. When was the last time you high-fived someone? I believe the last time I was at my sister's and my nephew caught a Pokemon on his first throw in Pokemon GO. He and his sister LOVE that game; that's the first thing they ask to do when I come over, haha. Their dad doesn't like it because it's "evil" (which he finds most things, really...), and it's something I could roll my eyes into the back of my head about, but I still have to respect his parenting and ask if they can play it first. He let's 'em, just not long. He also took away the Pikachu plushy I gave Aubree because it's her favorite one. :^) Guess who doesn't fuckin like him lmao. Do you like writing? How often do you write? I love writing! I don't do it very much nowadays except through surveys, though. RP is kinda on pause, so surveys is really how I just get stuff out, even if it isn't creative. Are there any posters or artworks hanging in your living room? Artwork and family photos, yes. What's your favourite place to get pizza? I'm a basic bitch that loves her some Domino's. How many times have you been to the beach? Quite a few times. We live only like two hours away, and considering Myrtle Beach is a common dance competition location, we've been a couple handfuls of instances. Has there ever been a fire inside your house? Tell me the story. No. After we moved out of my childhood house though that we actually owned, the fucking idiots who were moving in completely roasted it to pitch by setting boxes on the goddamn stove and accidentally turning it on. The house had to be entirely rebuilt. My parents were livid considering it was THEIR house. Have you ever had a scary encounter with a wild animal? No. What was the best school project you remember doing? I actually really enjoyed the huge essay I did on toxic masculinity the last time I tried college. I've always been very firm about letting men be humans and not emotionless robots, but I learned a lot more while researching and writing. Name a video game you can play over and over again: Shadow of the Colossus is #1. I've beaten it at least 30 times, maybe even 40+; it's been too long since I've seen the save files. It's a relatively short game (you can beat it in less than like, four hours if you know what you're doing) and just very relaxing yet simultaneously absolutely epic to me. God, I want a PS4 to play the remaster, like beyond words. It looks incredible, and I want to try to get white Agro. Have you ever petted a cow, a sheep, or a pig? A pig, yes. I love pigs.

A little mermaid essay. Because I’m tired of y’all hating her.
A tad long so. Thanks for reading if you do.
So a lot of people call her shallow and dumb to risk everything just so she can get prince Eric’s dick. Haha yeah super funny. However, Ariel is shown to have always had a fascination with the human world and humanity in a kingdom where such knowledge is forbidden. Particularly by her own father.
She frequently finds wonderment in everyday items and is desperate to learn and study more about them. That’s always been the case. Not one person isn’t guilty of having a passion, or mild obsession. And I know s e v e r a l people who actively pursue and are more attracted to forbidden knowledge.
When she meets Eric he’s sailing. What initially attracts her to his ship is fireworks. As in one of the things she doesn’t understand, sang about and is curious about. She see’s Eric. A human who is handsome, has an animal companion (pet), is obviously fond of exploring and adventuring and also struggles against pressures from his kingdom. While listening to him ariel easily see’s kinship with him. He’s like her. Someone so different and from the workd she adores is like her.
So jumping ahead, she wasn’t initially going to ditch everything just for Eric. At first all she wants is to see him again. She doesn’t even consider leaving home. While daydreaming and crushing on the statue her father discovers the her grotto. He destroys everything she’s ever found. He destroys the statue of a human who represents all ariel loves about humanity. He firmly draws the line in the sand and makes it clear that her feelings and passions will never belong or be understood by her society of her family. (this is feeling most queer people relate too, me specifically, so do with that as you will. Hans Christian Andersen was definitely attracted to men and women soooo).
This to Ariel is a very clear rejection. She and her father’s miscommunication is what allows her to even consider Ursula. To Ariel it seems that she literally has nothing to lose. To her Triton is the villain. This allows Ursula to manipulate her as a way of extorting triton. Ursula seduces ariel by convincing her they’re both outcasts, bonded by the same rejection and that Ursula helps outcasts and misfits. Ursula is able to get Ariel to give up her voice because Ariel believes she has nothing left. No family or friends or kingdom. Her only hope lies on land where she believes she’ll be understood.
Yes Ariel is naive to believe Ursula has her best interests at heart but this doesn’t mean Ariel has made the wrong choice. Or that she’s willy nilly throwing away her family for a man she just met. Eric was always a bonus. Her humanity made real. She’d have been perfectly content to live as a himan even if he’d rejected her. But it’s Utsula who put the time limit and focus on winning his affection. Of course it’s all very natural considering he is what she wants but Ariel only agreed because she was desperate, upset, and alone.
But even distegarding allll of that. Eric and Ariel have a good love story. (YES ITS THREE DAYS LONG BUT PISS OFF ITS AN HOUR AND A HALF. WE DONT HAVE TIME TO SHOW A BIG PASSAGE OF TIME ESPECIALLY WITH A VILLAINOUS SEA WITCH ORCHESTRATING THE WHOLE THING!!!! AND ITS ABOUT MERMAIDS SUSPEND YOUR DISBELIEF !JEEZ MAN!)
Eric fell in love with Ariel’s voice and her action of saving him (How many princesses can claim to have saved their Prince Charming? Oh and btw Ariel and Eric tie. They save each other twice each. It’s equality). He finds her voice beautiful but can’t see her that well cuz the sun is shining behind her like the angel she is. He searches everywhere for the mystery girl and instead finds Ariel. WHO HE ALSO FALLS IN LOVE WITH. HE FALLS IN LOVE WITH HER TWICE WITHOUT REALIZING IT.
While she’s staying at his castle he falls in love with her personality. Her excitement and wonderment. Her adventuressness and boldness and literally decides to GIVE UP THE MYSTERY GIRL BY CHUCKING THE FLUTE INTO THE SEA SO HE CAN DATE HER. It’s a very powerful and symbolic gesture. Eric sacrifices his fantasy for the real Ariel. It’s nowhere near as big of a sacrifice but it counts nonetheless. How many princes have sacrificed to be wity their princess? This sacrifice is only ruined by Ursula using Ariel’s voice to bewitch him. (Ever notice that “Vanessa” looks suspiciously like ariel in the sunlight? I’m c o n v i n c e d. That she’s using a glamour or spell to appear as the features he saw. Darker hair, different shape because it was wet. He just couldn’t tell it was Ariel).
So then once Ariel is reunited with her coice Eric realizes that the girl he’s fallen in love with and the mystery voice that infatuated him are one and the same. And he risks his life to fight the sea witch to save her. Ariel saves him a second time and then Eric impales Ursula, saving her for the second time. They just can’t stop protecting one another which is very sweet snd endearing.
Ariel is a bad ass and Eric loves her just as much as she does. If after all this you still hate her fine. But oversimplifying her story to “dumb mermaid wants dick lol so stupid and sexist” is a disservice to the character and this unique twist on the story. Again thanks for reading this essay rant.
