[fairytale-poll]

can i ask what juice is winning

You certainly can!

Apple Juice is in the lead with 25.4% (87 Votes)! Out of the other options I gave, here are the results:

Lemonade next with 15.8% (54 Votes)

Fruit Punch at 14.6% (50 Votes)

Orange Juice at 14% (48 Votes)

Berry Fruit Punch at 6.4% (22 Votes)

Cranberry Juice at 4.4% (15 Votes)

I don't care at 2.9% (10 Votes)

Lemonade isn't a juice you fucking freak at 2.3% (8 Votes)

Carrot Juice at 1.2% (4 Votes)

All the rest of the votes were fill-ins (38.4%). I'm not going to share all of them but here are some of my favorites (either because I like the juice or because it was a funny response):

Multivitamin... ?... You know, when a lot of fruit juices like orange, carrot, apple and such are mixed together :D

Lemonade isn’t a juice but it’s the only one I like here so I’m choosing it

Pomegranite

This is classified

idk if this counts but mango lassi ^w^

I am allergic to fruit juices. uhm but I enjoy a Hawaiian Punch (still allergic)

Why is this question a thing

grape juice! i can’t believe you forgot it 💔 my favorite is white grape juicd

Apple, but why is this a thing?

Godforsaken green juice

milk. grinded straight from the cow, pulp and all.

Fruit juice. B. Because. I'm.

Leaf juice

Milk

I'm more offended at you calling Fruit Punch a juice than you calling Lemonade a juice. There is fruit juice, but that's totally different from Fruit Punch.

a non-comprehensive list of my favorite brian koch cheese credit card answers

pickle wishes he never met taco

nickel needs balloon way more than he realizes

salt needs pepper way more than she realizes

if taco had the chance to do it all again differently, she would

fan's favorite game would be lego star wars

apple still has her pony from santa, which she named "dino brawler". this is presumably the toy she was holding in episode 16

knife tried harder to be good at video games than he lets on

suitcase is still a little annoyed with oj for eliminating her for no reason in episode 7

oj and bomb are on better terms now, but will never be best friends again

he sees soap and microphone having a more sibling-like relationship, since their voice actresses are sisters (judging by the 20+ private replies, someone had some opinions on this one)

mephone 3gs didn't know his crew very well. when he watched them die, he was surprised by how much he felt

pickle genuinely made taco laugh a few times during season one

evil paper liked playing checkers (this implies that this is a trait exclusive to him that paper himself does not share)

mephone x would probably use he/him pronouns, but cobs doesn't put that much thought or humanity into the mephones anymore

mephone4 wanted to impress cobs for a long time, but meeting 3gs recontextualized a lot of his negative feelings

if mephone4 wasn't hosting inanimate insanity, he would probably be a lost media archivist

taco doesn't have nearly enough hobbies. brian thinks that's part of the problem

nickel sees himself as more worthless than most would assume

mephone4 and oj's relationship is "honestly not great"

under the guise of "scheming", taco and mic would sometimes just hang out together when there wasn't anything game-related to do

trophy struggles to do push-ups

despite being an outdated medium, cobs still sends out discs with nothing but propaganda material on them

despite not sharing much screentime together, brian thinks knife and pickle are the best ii yaoi

yin-yang likes being in cars. yin will drive, and yang will pick the music

soap would play splatoon, since all of the messes are just virtual

mephone4 is iffy on physical contact due to his past experiences with cobs

salt genuinely thought her and oj were in a relationship

just like mephone4, mephone4s' favorite food is cookies

cobs doesn't see himself as evil, he's just giving the people what they want. "not what they think they want. what they ACTUALLY want."

if silver spoon and candle are occupying the same space, people will leave because they can't take seeing how silver acts when he's around her

for a long time, baseball was the only person nickel respected

if mephone5 could live an everyday life, he would be a public menace. (destroying property, going up the down escalator)

taco actually enjoys the taste of lemon

while characters like fan weren't originally written with the intent of being on the autism spectrum, he lines right up with it

on a scale of 1-10, the amount that mepad misses toilet is "off the charts"

toilet wanted to impress mephone4 like a son would want to impress a father. "the cycle repeats a bit."

lightbulb and paintbrush take turns feeding baxter, but paintbrush usually ends up doing it because lightbulb isn't particular enough about what she considers "food"

mepad's favorite colors are black and white. "very mesmerizing."

walkie talkie (and presumably other invitational characters) didn't attend the hotel oj party

knife doesn't need to work out. he's just naturally like that

when someone asked if fantube was canon, brian answered "what more do they have to do?!"

springy hasn't had their own cereal in a long time

microphone and taco have both never been closer to someone else than they were with each other

silver and candle are a bit more distant now, but they both agree it's for the best

when the eliminated contestants were still being kept in the hotel oj closet, mepad would "unfeelingly" deliver and check in on them at mephone's request

homeless taco head cannons break my heart

….

so uh.

have any?

Hello there!!!!^^ Welcome, and thank you for sending in your request!!! :] YOU BET I HAVE HEADCANONS FOR HOMELESS TACO!!! I THINK I'VE SAID SOME IN VARIOUS ANSWERS/POSTS BEFORE BUT I'LL TRY PUTTING ONES I DON'T THINK I'VE POSTED BEFORE!!! YAY HOMELESS HEADCANONS REQUEST!!!!! I love getting hc requests of any sort!!!^^

-Justin confirmed from one of my stream questions that Taco had stolen food from the hotel while she was homeless!!! I definitely think she avoided doing this at all costs, but during winters when she couldn't forage much if any food from the woods, she'd sneak into the hotel at night after like, a week of not eating to grab as much as she can and gtfo!!! Normally she could probably get in and out safely, but again, she hasn't eaten in a week. I think she would get caught by Pepper, who I had mentioned in my one-hc-for-everyone post to be the resident chef in the hotel!!! It's winter so it gets dark early, and Taco has no sense for what time it is other than the sun, so she accidentally goes in too early and Pepper walks in on her raiding the cabinets. Pepper is understandably surprised, but Taco tries to deescalate!! With her current state though, it comes off more like begging Pepper not to rat her out, and I honestly don't think she would. We have a very homeless, starving, freezing, and bedraggled Taco, and Pepper just can't bring herself to do it. She just turns to whatever food she's making and warns Taco that OJ or Paper might be in the check on the meal any moment. Taco leaves and Pepper never says a word. Sorry about the Tacopep friendship propaganda but i want them to be friends.

-I think Taco would spend a lot of time in the Gemory Cave!! It's basically the only "inside" she can access for when it's snowing, raining, etc., yeah? Staying in the forest during a thunderstorm would be more danger than it's worth for her, and with all the tunnels she'd be able to stay hidden pretty well. I'd say she has a few hidey holes in there, small enough that only she and a handful of contestants would even be able to get inside, where she keeps her most important possessions. At least, what she can't hold in her shell, yeah?

-Mephone did not program Taco with the proper knowledge or skills to survive in the wild. She had to figure everything out through trial and error, including what food is and isn't safe to eat. She had a lot of miserable evenings in those early days, throwing up what little she had managed to scrounge together for a meal, hallucinations, headaches, etc., etc.

--Due to these skills though, she's kinda the MVP of the group post-canon. She's the only one who has a lot of these skills and can work successfully with only the resources they can get from the land. She keeps them from going through the same trial and error phase that she had to, especially important now that they can't recover anymore.

-I think she put the sign in front of the Perilous Forest there herself while she was living in the woods, to keep the others from coming in and finding her. What's so perilous about it? Her.

-Rather than sleeping on the ground, I see her sleeping in trees. She's a Taco, she could reasonably nudge herself into a position in which she won't fall, and at least try to fall asleep. It would be a bit risky if case she fell, but it's definitely better than the risk of getting caught unawares. I don't see her sleeping nearly enough when she's homeless, though, and post-canon when she's in the mansion she sleeps for like 27 hours straight and feels better than she has in years.

-I mentioned in another recent post Taco being afraid of snow because of past instances of severe hypothermia!!! And, yeah, if it snows, or even just gets cold enough, she's fucked. The best she has is the cave, and even then, it wouldn't help much. And she's malnourished, which makes her even more prone to it!!! She does not get proper treatment ever!!!!! I'd say she's had some very, very close calls with frostbite, maybe a rough case of pneumonia or two, more hallucinations because they're great for angst, irregular heartbeat (if they have hearts), etc., etc.

Hopefully these seven are enough!!! If you do want more, feel free to let me know!!! Headcanons are so much fun, I'm always happy to answer requests like these!!!^^

Like, oh my seasonings — is this where everyone else is? What a bore, literally.

Whatever, I guess I have time to answer some stupid questions.

જ⁀➴ ♡ SHE • HER

Salt's my ultimate BCFF, so you'd better back off if you think you have a damn chance. We're closer than a pair of heels, and that's like, the literal truth.

OJ better watch his back. I don't understand how Salty-Salt is so obsessed with him — god, he's nothing compared to me, not that I care, or whatever.

#Chatterbox: Pepper answering your asks, no matter how big or small!

#Condiment Catastrophe: Pepper's thoughts about the one and only, Salt. Her beloved best friend in the whole wide world.

Proshippers, get outta here!

ೀ🪻🪽 HEADCANONS

~ Pepper is lesbian, using she/her pronouns.

~ She has a STRONG mild dislike for OJ, purely because Salt focuses on him too much, when they could be doing better things, which isn't starting at his face all day.

~ She enjoys sewing. Even though she's just got into the hobby, it's something that she likes to do in her free time.

~ Of course, she swears! Maybe a little more than Salt, but what can she do about it?

~ Trophy is somewhat of a.. brother, I suppose. They just happen to get along well.

~ Fashion design is her favourite. If someone is wearing a horrendous outfit, you bet that she's making a move to help them fix it up.. it's needed.

~ Millionaires. She likes their music.

[microknifeyuri]

You guys wouldn't understand my vision. Hear me out.

This is kind of a long post but. I wrote an scenario of this cause I think that Pepper can do better than Salt (still like their ship tho, don't get me wrong, this is just an scenario I was thinking about).

Like Pepper has always been there for Salt, and seeing how she would never love her the way she loved OJ, was heartbreaking to her. Pepper was starting give up and was just like "I have a feeling, a terrible fear encroaching, that I'll never love someone, the way I loved the ocean" because that crush has lasted for years.

Eventually she just. Gives up and probably thanks to Knife, decides to stop talking to Salt until she recovers and tries to make more friends, new relationships. Because she was already in a complicated mental space.

That's when she ends up bonding with Soap and Pepper the most. Like. The people she would have probably never think of ever becoming friends with.

One is a "weirdo obsessed with cleaning" and the other one is... well, Bomb. She never took enough time to know him deeply, other than him being a good friend for OJ and Paper, and having a liking for plants.

But she gets to know them anyway. She ends up finding out that they're more sweet and considerate than... you know, anyone she ever met.

Soap was much more than a girl who's obsessed with cleaning. She relaxed after she got to the hotel. Always there, wanting to help others, generally having good relationships with everyone (maybe even with Trophy himself, just before he started to become a better person), and how Bomb was generally just a great guy. She knew that he took Knife to the tour when they won. Got his friendship, and being friends with Knife is in itself a great achievement. He was kind, loving, sweet, caring. A bit too energetic at times, but was generally a good guy.

And what surprised Pepper the most is that she liked them. A whole lot. Loved spending time with them.

They made her feel seen. Feel loved. Not as if she was just a shadow for them, but as her own person.

She started being more genuine and calm with them.

They start growing on eachother, and... there's feelings that blossom.

But Pepper doesn't know if they'll ever love her back the way she does. Because first of all, Bomb probably has a thing going on with OJ and Paper. Secondly, she doesn't know if Soap is into girls or anything. She's scared of rejection, because that's what always happened with Salt. She knew that Salt could never love her, but, she clinged onto that hope, because she ached for her best friend to maybe love her back.

But she didn't and she never will.

Eventually, Pepper takes courage and tells them about her feelings.

And surprisingly,

They don't reject her.

Instead, they just gently held her hands, smiled at her and said "We love you too".

But this time it felt like a genuine "I love you".

Not the type of "love you" that Salt would say when Pep asked her if she loved her. A genuine "I love you".

That makes her start sobbing and just ends up being held by them gently.

They love her.

And she loves them.

And like. As the relationship goes on, she learns, she grows, she's herself. She's just enjoying her life at the fullest.

...

And like. She maybe also had a certain dislike for OJ. Because of Salt. But when she got to know him properly thanks to her partners, they actually became pretty good friends. He's a pretty good guy, just, needs a rest. So she tries to help him.

Became pretty close with Paper too.

For the first time in years, she felt so very loved and wanted.

Even by OJ and Paper who aren't her partners, they made her feel loved as well, because they know how much she means to Bomb.

Bomb and Soap make sure to always remind her of their love and she's just. Living her best life.

Perhaps her love for Salt is still there. But maybe it isn't. Maybe she moved on. But for once, her heart stopped aching.

And just as that happens, Salt realizes that she fucked up badly with Pepper. Ever since they stopped talking, she couldn't help but feel like there was something missing. She stopped being focused on OJ, and wanted to talk to Pepper again badly, and tried. But Pepper didn't want to do anything with her anymore.

And just as Pepper blossoms and gets in a polycule that. Adores her completely, Salt realizes her feelings for Pepper.

And she wants to go and tell her, but Knife stops her. It's unusual for him, but he was changing thanks to a certain person as well. Salt asks him why he was doing that, and Knife goes "Can't you see that for once, after so many years, she's finally happy? That she's finally herself? That she's loved? Do you really want to ruin what she has with your realization? She's finally herself. You just realized your errors. That's something that no amount of 'I love you's' is ever going to change", and Salt with the most heartbroken voice says

"But... I love her" .

"If you really loved her, you would let her go".

Princess Kaguya / Prologue

Author: Kino Seitaro with Akira

Characters: Tatsumi, Hokuto, Arashi, Kanata, Hiyori

"And so, it will be my―The last performance of the idol Tomoe Hiyori."

Directory ✧ Next →

[ Read on my site for a better viewing experience using Ois~su ♪ ]

Location: Princess Kaguya Stage

Season: Winter

Tatsumi: ―So this is where the modern version of Princess Kaguya will take place.

Hokuto: How should I put it... It's a very creative stage.

Arashi: But, it's clear a lot of effort went into making this place.

Kanata: It's as if it were a celebration of "Ohisama"-san's "departure"―a sparkling stage.

Hiyori: Mhm, mhm. It's a suitable place to bring our Getto Spectacle to a close!

And so, it will be my―

The last performance of the idol Tomoe Hiyori.

One week ago. Mid-January, at the ES meeting room.

Hokuto: "Shuffle Unit"―"Getto Spectacle[1]."

So that's the unit name that will be used for this project, Anzu.

Hiyori: Mm. It sounds good!

Hokuto: For this Shuffle Project, we have to record on "DJ Classics", a popular educational program that broadcasts modern adaptations of classic works.

Hiyori: I heard that we'll be in charge of reading the modern adaptation of "Princess Kaguya" and singing the theme song. Well, we can do that with the five of us, right?

It's super pretty that we get to perform Princess Kaguya, isn't it, Arashi-chan!

Arashi: Yes, it was so nice and pretty of Anzu-chan to invite us to this project!

Hokuto: ...Stop trying to put pretty in every sentence.

Anyway, I'd like to ask Anzu how the members were chosen.

Putting aside Tomoe-senpai and Narukami, I'm wondering why I, Kazehaya-senpai, and Shinkai-senpai were selected.

Kanata: I was wondering about that, too.

I am not so confident in my "acting ability". I was rather hesitant when I accepted this project.

Tatsumi: The script will be handed to us, won't it? I'd like to check how Princess Kaguya will be performed by the five of us.

Hm. "Princess Kaguya will be adapted into a story about five high school boys in modern times, and then linked to their farewell story"―is it.

Hokuto: I see. So, the producer of the show who came up with this project saw the "OJS Boys" work[2] we did, and made an offer to me and Shinkai-senpai.

Hiyori: "OJS Boys"? Sounds like an interesting job, huh?

Tatsumi: It was a gravure job centered around the "OJS (Prince)" image.

I believe StarPro often receives offers for such work.

Hiyori: Huuh. So it was an interesting job.

If the job came to StarPro, it's not surprising that I had nothing to do with it. Though I would've liked to have taken it.

Well, I'm always everyone's sun, so there's no need for me to be a prince!

Arashi: Ufufu. Having pretty idols like us around might make it a good balance, don't you think?

Hokuto: So what even is this pretty thing?

Hiyori: Fufu. It's a common code word in Pretty 5, isn't it, Arashi-chan ♪

Arashi: It certainly is a common code word, Tomoe-senpai ♪

Hokuto: ...I probably shouldn't dig too deep into this.

Kanata: That's right~ We are getting "sidetracked".

I understand that Hokuto and I were "invited" because of the "prince" work.

But, Tatsumi did not become a "prince", did he?

Is there another "reason"?

Tatsumi: I've been wondering about that myself.

The "OJS Boys" work was accepted by Hiiro-san, not me. So why was I the one chosen from ALKALOID instead of him?

Hm. So it's because the producer was aware of my past activities, despite the fact I had a hiatus period. I'm grateful for being included.

Alright then, the five of us―let us perform the modern version of Princess Kaguya together in this Shuffle Project.

I would like to start practicing as soon as possible for the performance.

However, we have a short period of time―so I think it would go smoother if we were to decide on a leader.

Would anyone like to nominate themselves?

Hiyori: Yes, yes! I would like to be the leader!

Hokuto: How very assertive of you.

Hiyori: But, who would be better qualified than me?

Hokuto: Well, Tomoe-senpai is qualified, considering his achievements and experience―but I'd like to hear the opinions of other members.

Kanata: I think it is fine~ I think someone with leadership experience would be "suitable" for the job.

Arashi: I agree. He's the leader of Eve, so I have no objections.

Tatsumi: Same for me, I don't see any particular problems with it.

Hiyori: Mhm, mhm. It seems like everyone is in agreement. Then, as the leader, I will propose a way to proceed without delay.

I heard that when shooting a movie for the Shuffle Project before, the members all lived in a training camp.

So, why don't we also live together in the old building at Seisoukan to enhance our sense of solidarity?

Hokuto: Wha...! Living together... That's awfully sudden, Tomoe-senpai...?!

Hiyori: But, let's not waste the short time we have before the performance! It's easier not to worry, so let's live together and strengthen our bond!

Hiyori: Come on, let's pack our bags and gather around!

Let's enjoy these extraordinary moments together before we return to the moon[3]. That's some good weather...♪

[ ☆ ]

Getto Spectacle is written as "月都スペクタクル", meaning "Moon Capital Spectacle", however, taking the readings of 月 (getsu) and 都 (to), you obtain ゲット (getto), which means Get in English.

This is referencing the gacha story White Lily.

This is a reference to the Princess Kaguya story. The name of the unit is also a reference to it, since 月の都 (Tsuki no Miyako, lit. Capital of the Moon) is the name of the moon city Princess Kaguya returns to by the end.

What Do I Love?

What do I love?

Chapter 4

Soonyoung POV ~Meet the Mates?

Soonyoung let out an audible sigh. Silently hoping you'd be gone by the time he woke up so he would have to deal with whatever he was feeling.

~~~~~

You weren't.

There you were rolled up in his stolen blankets, wearing his favorite pair of joggers, lightly snoring into his best pillow.

He smiled to himself. He debated stealing some of the covers back and cuddling you till the sun rose higher. But he thought better of it and pulled on some sweat as he made out towards the kitchen where he knew his apartment mates would be waiting with lectures and snarky comments. If he was lucky enough it would just be Jihoon, but when was he ever that lucky. And was that really luck??

"Morning asshat" Jihoon said after a long sip of coffee.

Soonyoung wonders what expletive would've come from his lips had he made the comment prior to the coffee in take.... on second thought he's much less curious. He rounds the island heading towards the fridge. Passing by Seungcheol and Jeonghan who are standing by the sink counters sharing glances in between sips of their own drinks.

Soonyoung opens the fridge to pull out his personally marked OJ container. He takes a swig and places it on the island keeping a safe distance from Jihoon and his unfinished coffee.

"Alright. I'm ready" Soonyoung says taking another sip from the carton.

Seungcheol sets his glass on the counter and crosses his arms. His face unreadable. Jeonghan looks up him with almost concern as he starts to speak, "How'd it go?"

Soonyoung scoffs, "Really?! How'd it go? That's what you have to say? You've wasted your precious beauty sleep to ask that?" He air quotes beauty sleep, that which Jeonghan holds most dear claiming it's a requirement for his line of work which he isn't completely delusional.

Jeonghan throws his arms up indignantly. "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT ME SAY SOONYOUNG??!!! Even if I did go to my room wouldn't be able to sleep over the bitch in your bed screeching so loud! I might as well come out here to get clearer audio!" He yells a little to loudly. Soonyoung glances towards his bedroom door behind Jeonghan hand hoping his comments didn't reach your ears.

"Look Soonyoung, it's not that we don't mind you bringing girls home," Seungcheol starts.

"Oh really? Doesn't sound like it." Soonyoung questions in a low tone still glancing at the bedroom wanting to check if you're still fast asleep.

"I know our schedules are hard difficult to deal with, us working nights and Hoonie here working days but the fact is you're just too loud....You have the bedroom at the opposite end of the apartment and I can still hear you through my head phones." Seungcheol shook his head. "Fuck them all you want, bring as many in as you want. Just keep it down. Soonyoung if this doesn't work out you're gonna have to move out."

Soonyoung let it sink in. It was serious. This time they meant it. Not because Seungcheol was threatening him to move out but the fact that he cussed. He only ever cussed when he was really pissed, which meant he was serious this morning. Before he had a chance to answer the door beyond Jeonghan opened and you stepped out of his room. He could help but make a mental note of how good you looked in his joggers and his tshirt.

You stepped out around the corner to see all four men staring intently at you.

"She- She's– uhh," Jeonghan stammered. He looked her up and down then back at Soonyoung.

Soonyoung beamed at the surprise on Cheol and Hannie's faces. Jihoon however didn't look the least bit surprised probably because he would've been in the kitchen on his first cup of coffee if had decided to leave a few hours earlier.

"Uhm Hi," you stammered. Soonyoung's heart skipped a bit. Your voice was so much cuter and softer than it had been the night before. He walked over to you and set a kiss on your forehead, "Good morning"

What'd he do that for? To spite the others, or because the space on your forehead called to his lips. He thinks a moment before he decided it was a little bit of both but mostly the latter. He gave quick introductions pointing to each one respectively, "Y/N this is Seungcheol, Jeonghan and the one glaring into his empty coffee up is Jihoon."

"Hi. Nice pants." Jihoon mumbled as he hopped off the bar stool to get more coffee.

"Hi–thanks" you whispered so small, Soonyoung's pretty sure he's the only one who heard. And the somehow made him feel so light.

He ushered you both back into his room. Trailing kisses all over your face and neck and tickling you back into his bed.

"Good morning" he beams down at you.

"Good morning," you giggled quick to return all his kisses with one deep, sweet, passionate kiss.

"You didn't leave."

You laughed maybe at the slight excitement in his voice. "No I didn't, and I quote I was too 'worn out' to leave." Your smile was so bright he swore the sun was shining, not through his windows, but right from your heart. Your smile faltered as you began to get up, "I should probably go. Thank you for letting me stay."

There was an unspoken 'have a nice life' at the end of that statement. He wasn't ready for you to leave, not yet. He wanted, needed more.

He laced his fingers around your wrist and pulled you back into the bed as he whispered, "Just a little while longer." He paused just before adding please.

At that you were like putty in his hands and he was going to make you feel so good, so beautiful, and worship your body like the piece of art work that it was.

But first he had to get you out of his pants. It hurt him to see them leave your hips but made a mental note to see you in them again.

A Night To Remember - Part 1

Part 1 | Part 2

Pairing: Jellybean Jones x Archie Andrews

Description: AU in which JB is just an year younger than Jughead and she’s in love with his best friend.

Warnings: None that I can think of.

Word Count: 1587

A/N: I usually post on @serpent-jugheadjones but since this isn't a Jughead fic, I decided to do it here. Therefore anything from other characters that I write will be done here :) Let me know is you want to be tagged on any of my stuff!

The best thing about falling in love with her brother’s best friend is how comfortable he is around her, that the boy doesn't even bother putting on a shirt before entering the kitchen in the mornings after a sleepover. Jellybean doesn't have much time to enjoy the view, though, as Jughead is always nearby.

The worst of it is the fact that Archie’s so oblivious to her feelings that he shares his love life experiences during breakfast. Certainly, hearing about his dates isn't JB’s nor Jug’s favorite subject. When she’s lucky, they get to talk a little about music before her brother shows up.

The three teens sit on the round table in the Jones’ kitchen, each with a plate of pancakes, Jughead’s with a few extra ones, and a glass of OJ. “Valerie broke up with me.”, Archie speaks before eating. “No wonder. You've been pimping yourself out to Cheryl.” Jug doesn't even finish chewing his pancake before talking. JB just stuffs her face with the food so she doesn't have to give an opinion. “HA. HA. I’m gonna try and talk to her tonight.”, the ginger says as FP walks in and fills his mug with coffee. “Dude, not a good idea. Just let it be.”, the dark-haired boy advises. “Easy for you to say. You have Betty.”, Arch says bitterly. “You should listen to Jughead. When women are mad at you it’s best to give them space. Right, JB?”, FP smirks. She chokes on her juice as the man leans in to kiss his daughter’s ruffled hair before sitting next to that jittery girl. “Right…” Jellybean widens her eyes at that ironic impossible clever dad she loves so much, for he’s the only one who knows about her crush and she’d like to keep it that way. Archie just gives JB a half smile that melts her heart. 

Later that day, she gets a text from Archie. Her mind races through all the possibilities of what the boy could've said while her old phone loads the message.

From: Archie xX

Surprise party for Jug at my place at 8. Come. 

Reason tells her to warn her brother since he’s not a fan of parties and dislikes even more his birthday but she can’t seem to shake the feeling that this is finally her chance with the Andrews’ boy.

JB arrives at Archie’s place, a little nervous but ready to tell the boy how she feels. “You look great.”, he greats, letting her in. The girl takes off her jacket, revealing a white crop top and a black skirt overall. “Can I get you anything?”, the boy offers. “One of whatever you’re having.”, the girl requests, smelling liquor in his breath. “Jug would kill me. For you, just a soda.” Archie hands her a red solo cup containing the fizzy drink. Their fingers touch for a second, enough to turn her cheeks red. “Jughead is coming. Everybody hide!”, Ethel shouts and they lean under the kitchen island. “Shh.”, he whispers, placing a finger in her mouth as she was just about to say something. 

The door opens and the lights turn on. “SURPRISE!”, a choir of voices shout standing from their hiding spots. Jellybean can see the loathing in Juggie’s eyes as people start hugging him. “Happy birthday.”, the girl wishes quietly, embracing him. “You knew about this and didn't tell me?” Lucky for her Betty comes out with a burger-shaped cake singing Marilyn Monroe style and JB doesn't have to explain herself.

Soon after, the party goes wild with the arrival of Cheryl and the rest of the school with booze and party lights, turning the living-room into a dance floor full of drunk teens. From the doorway, Jellybean watches Archie losing himself to the dance. When the ginger boy spots that beautiful girl standing there, he pulls her by the wrist. In a heartbeat, they start swaying to the rhythm of the song, their bodies brushing against each other’s every once in a while. JB is sure Arch can feel the electricity flowing through them.

A couple of songs after, they’re both tired and in need of fluids. The euphoric teen follows an oblivious Archie back to the kitchen where she hops on the marble counter as the boy grabs a couple of bottles from the fridge to mix them a drink. “Arch.”, Jellybean calls his attention softly. “Yeah?”, he questions, pouring a little too much vodka on his cup. “I listened to your songs.”, she confesses, still a little breathless. “The ones on SoundCloud?” Archie looks up at his friend’s sister amazed, handing her one of the cups. JB nods. “They are amazing.” The girl smiles and takes a sip from her drink, wincing at the bitter taste in the back of her throat. “Dance, Dance, Dance is my favorite.” She looks directly into his eyes. He’s leaning in slightly. “Archie, where’s the keg?” Arch hesitates for a while, and steps away when he listens to a familiar cough. “In the back.” He recognizes Joaquin and takes him to the booze. FP enters the kitchen right after. “Was that a move?”, her father asks playfully, pointing at the ginger boy leaving. “Don’t know what you’re talking about.” JB jumps off the counter and grabs her drink before her father notices what’s inside. FP just chuckles as she returns to the dance floor.

Out of a sudden, things get out of hand, beginning with Archie receiving a faceful of liquor instead of whatever he was hoping for with Valerie. Then, when Jug tries to bolt, Cheryl stops him, making everyone play a weird game called “Secrets and Sins”. People start accusing each other of all kinds of crap, and all hell breaks loose as a dumb jock calls Betty out on what happened at Ethel’s. Jughead punches him unsmartedly, getting hit back twice as hard. Fortunately, Jellybean went to get her dad as soon as trouble started. The man gets there just in time to pull Chuck out of Jug, before he can make any more damage to his son’s face. He throws everyone out and Betty ashamedly goes away as well. “Why aren't you going after your girl?”, FP asks, holding his son by the arms as he was trying to get in. “Can’t leave Archie alone.”, Jug excuses. “JB is staying. Go after her. She needs you now more than ever.”, his father instructs.

The house is a mess. Solo cups flying all over, bottles rest on every flat surface and Archie slouched on the couch as drunk as one can be. “Come on. Let’s get you to bed so I can clean up.”, JB tells him, warping one of his arms around her neck in a feeble attempt to get him up. “You didn't have to stay.”, Archie drunkly says, pulling her to sit next to him. No point fighting against it as he’s twice as strong as her, not that she really wants to. “I couldn't help it.”, the girl tells him. “Why?”, he asks, almost hopeful. “Because I’m in love with you…”, Jellybean confesses, both nervous and excited at the same time. He leans himself forward the closer he can get to the raven-haired girl. She closes the remaining distance between them, lightly touching his lips, feeling the ground being pulled from under her. Literally, since the boy grabbed her hips to straddle her legs around him. 

No cleaning was done that night. The two teens just savored each other’s company. With a lot of work, she managed to drag the drunk ginger to his room, where he fell head first on an air mattress, leaving his bed empty for her. When the girl woke up in the morning, she made sure to leave the place impeccable for when Mr. Andrews got back. JB gives a sweet peck on sleeping Archie’s cheek before leaving.

The raven-haired girl arrives home to her brother and father at the table having breakfast. “Is that Archie’s shirt?”, Jughead asks. “Maybe…”, the girl says with a grin. “I just borrowed it to sleep, in a separate bed!”, she adds hurriedly at FP’s concerned and almost angry face. “I’m going over to his place to make sure everything is ok.” Her brother walks out of the table leaving his dirty plate behind. “I’m not washing your dirty dishes.”, JB shouts as Jug goes through the door. “Didn't you just wash the plates at Andrews’ house?”, her father asks, piling his and Jug’s plate for her to wash.

Jughead arrives just in time to wake his friend before his father comes home. “Jug. The most amazing thing happened.”, Archie says dreamily, still laying down. “Is that so?”, the dark-haired boy asks. “I think I kissed Veronica last night. I was so wasted all I know is that she stayed the night.”, he answers looking up, trying to remember better. “Veronica left with her girlfriend CHERYL, as soon as shit hit the fan. JB was the one who stayed.” Jughead says. “But then… Jellybean? Oh… Yes.” Panic takes over the ginger as he realizes what he did. “Dude, did you just fess up to kissing my sister?” Now Juggie and Arch have another situation to work through.

Market Boy pt.2

Part 1

Words:

Warnings: Eating squid, Super Fluffy!Jungkook, Kissing 

                           ____________________

Jungkook was currently in his shared apartment with his brother, he was currently getting ready for his date tonight.

"Hey do I look okay? Is it too much or too little?" He asked his older brother.

"I think you're freaking out way too much and definitely need to chill the heck out. You said it yourself that she's not the person to care about appearance so who cares?" he asked ruffling his fluffy hair.

"Yeah I guess you're right. By the way can I borrow some money? I don't get paid until the end of the week. Please I'll cover one of your shifts with no back talk" Jungkook begged him.

"Yeah, but don't spend it like a dumb ass okay? Buy her dinner and dessert and maybe buy her a cute bracelet or something, I don't know what you kids are into." He says handing him $50.

"Hyung this is perfect. Thank you so much for everything. I love you so much." Jungkook gave him a sloppy kiss on the cheek.

"Ew stop, get the hell out of here you weirdo" he said gently slapping the younger boy's face.

"I'll see you when I get back!" Jungkook announced as he left the house and began his walk to the market.

On the other side of town, you were also getting ready for your tonight. You did a double take before leaving your apartment, and making your way to the market. You also decided to walk there since it's not that far.

You stood by your shop as you waited for Jungkook to arrive. In all honesty you forgot what time he said he wanted to meet up, so you decided to stand there and wait for him.

"Hey Y/N! You're here a few minutes early" he commented and you checked the time on your phone.

"I guess I am a little early, huh?" You mentioned as you looked back at him in slight embarrassment.

"Let me guess, you forgot what time we were supposed to meet, so you decided to just wait here?" he asked.

"Maybe I did, maybe I didn't" You said crossing your arms.

"Okay yeah I did, you caught me, I'm guilty" You confessed chuckling a little.

"That's okay, you said it yourself that you weren't the best when it came to timing things." He nudged your shoulder.

You gently hit his arm and held his hand in yours.

"I don't know about you, but I'm pretty hungry and excited for some seafood." You told him as you began to swing your hands back and forth.

"Well then let's go get some food shall we?" He asked enthusiastically.

You let him lead the way to the seafood restaurant located in the back of the market.

"Oh look, it's the love birds of this place. We were wondering when you guys were coming to see us!" Stephen, the owner of the restaurant, exclaimed when he saw you and Jungkook walk inside.

"How did you know we were gonna be here tonight?" You asked walking over to a table and sitting down across from Jungkook.

"Jungkook's mother told me that you guys would pay us a visit, and that I needed to take good care of you and watch out for you" he said and you frowned.

"Does his mom not trust me?" you asked slightly offended.

"No, she trust you. It the little Kookie monster across from you that she doesn't trust." he commented and you laughed loudly and covered your mouth.

"What! I'm innocent and have done nothing wrong in at least a week!" he said crossing his arms.

"You are so cute when you're upset Kookie." You told him to try and tease him.

"Yeah, but you're cute all the time."He raised an eyebrow at you.

"Someone is feeling flirty I see." You raised an eyebrow back at him.

"I can't help it when I have a beautiful woman sitting right in front of me."

This boy is trying to kill me, you thought to yourself.

"What do you cutie pies want to drink?" Miranda, Stephen's wife, asked the two of you.

"I'll have a mango lemonade" You said smiling up at her.

"And I'll have a beer" Jungkook said full of confidence.

"I need to see your ID" she said smirking at him.

"On second thought, I think I will have coca-cola" he said smiling up at her.

"Smart choice" she said walking to the back.

"Trust me, beer isn't that good anyway" You told him looking at the different food items on the menu.

"I forget that you're older than me sometimes. How does it feel to be twenty-two years old?" he asked and you simply shrugged your shoulders.

"I'm older than I was last year, and I'm still the same old girl, so I feel the same. Nothing to be excited about" You told him honestly.

"And what can I get you two to eat?" she asked.

Jungkook perked up at the mention of food.

"Can I get the salmon sashimi and the tempura sushi please with lots of wasabi. Oh! And the white radish please on the side. I like the crunch" He smiled over at you waiting for you to order.

You looked at him in surprise. The only remotely Japanese food you knew about was fried calamari. Grabbing the menu you did your best.

"I uh. Can I get the shrimp o-ni-gi-ri and um the California Roll please" You closed the menu looking away from the both of them knowing you sounded like a complete fool.

Jungkook tilted his head looking at you confused.

Why is she so reclusive all of a sudden? Did I do something? He thought to himself in compete and utter confusion.

"If it helps I thought your pronunciation was kind of cute" he told you and you smiled while still covering your face in embarrassment.

"Oh come on, show me that pretty face that I've been waiting to see. I've wanted to take you on a date for months and now and you're covering your beautiful face. It makes me sad" he leaned over and moved your hands from your face.

"There you are" he mumbled looking at you with a look that you have never seen before.

"You are so beautiful to me." he said sitting back in his chair.

"Oh please, I'm sure the girls back home are a lot cuter than me" You told him as you sipped my lemonade.

"I mean, not to sound like an asshole or anything, but for the time that I was in Korea none of the girls there caught my eye like you did when I first saw you." He confessed and you nearly choked on your ice.

"Jungkook wow I um. I'm flattered. I don't know what to say. I've never had someone say such nice things like that to me before." You simply chuckled and played with your nails.

It's an annoying habit of yours that you have been waiting to die out for a while.

"You don't have to say anything until the end of our date." he said and you raised an eyebrow up at him in confusion.

"What does that mean?" You questioned.

"You shall see cutie pie. Look at that our food is here!" he announced as Stephen and Miranda brought you both some more food and refills for your almost empty glasses.

"This looks absolutely amazing!" You commented a little too loudly.

Luckily for you and Jungkook the restaurant was empty, well except for Jungkook, Stephen, Miranda and, well of course you. Which is oddly strange considering the fact that this place doesn't close until 9:00 and it's only 7:20.

"Do you want to try the tempura sushi?" he asked holding it up to you.

"I don't know, I'm not a big fan of wasabi" You told him and he frowned.

"Please for me? Just a tiny little bite. You won't regret it, I promise!"

Damn this boy really knows how to be convincing.

"Alright fine, just for you Jungkook." You leaned over and bit into the food and was actually surprised at the taste.

"Wow that's really- Jesus Christ that's spicy!" You exclaimed quickly drinking half of your lemonade again.

"I know and that's what makes it great!" he said smiling as he stuffed two pieces into his mouth.

"Jungkook I'm calling the police and telling them you tried to murder me." You jokingly mumbled fanning your mouth reaching for one of your own wasabi free sushi rolls.

"Well I'll just tell them that you attacked me first with your good looks!" he retorted back.

You threw a napkin at him and playfully crossed your arms in defeat. You don't know who this boy learned to flirt from, but damn he's good.

"You can't beat me no matter how hard you try Y/N, I'm always six steps ahead of you"

"I'll say two steps ahead. Six steps is taking it a little too far."

You said as you stole some of his salmon sashimi.

"It's juicy isn't it?" He questioned looking at you with hooded eyes smirking slightly taking another bite of his tempura.

"Jungkook I want to go home." You said jokingly.

"Alright, so then you're paying for the bill?" he asked grabbing his jacket and you swear that it took about seven angels to hold you back.

"No, I'm just kidding. Please don't hit me." he reached over and held your smaller hand and you playfully rolled your eyes.

"Very funny Jeon, very funny. You almost had me there" You said pointing your chopstick at him.

"Hypothetically though, if I did just so happen to lose my brothers money that he gave me, what would you do?" he asked and you got nervous again, once again you pray to Jesus almighty above that this better be another one of his silly tricks.

"Well obviously I would pay for the bill and have you take me on two more dates until I feel better." You answered and he pulled out the money smiling widely.

"Well thank God I didn't lose it" he chuckled and you shook my head.

Suddenly Stephen walked over with a bowl of something.

"Stephen why is something moving in that bowl?" You asked moving to the other side of the table behind Jungkook.

Before Stephen could answer Jungkook rushed over closer to the bowl pulling you along with him.

"Ojing-eo!" I haven't eaten this since my 13th birthday party. My dad had fished it up for me." He smiled fondly at the memory and took his chopsticks taking the squirming tentacles out putting a dollop of wasabi on it before stuffing it in his mouth.

"It still tastes amazing"

You didn't even know what to say or do. Stephen chuckled nervously scratching the back of his neck.

"You two have a good night"

He grabbed the bowl and turned on his heel walking back to the kitchen.

"Did I do something wrong?" Jungkook asked looking at me as he sucked up the rest of the tentacle into his mouth.

"Not necessarily, but I will say I also wasn't expecting to see that." You said trying to hold in your laugh.

"Do you want to try this?" He asked holding the tentacle up to you.

You stared at it as it moved before looking back at him and shaking your head.

"I would like to politely decline your offer if that's okay with you." You said picking up some more of your own food before eating it.

"I'm sorry, that was kind of gross wasn't it?" He blushed in embarrassment and looked down.

"Not gross, because it's a cultural thing, but very different. But if you enjoy it then who am I to judge." You smiled at him and wiped the side of his face with a napkin.

"Yeah, we are definitely going on another date in the future. You are perfect holy crap." He said.

All you could do was chuckle and nod in agreement.

Once the dinner was over, Jungkook paid Stephen, and the two of you left the restaurant.

"What do you want to do now?" He asked, taking your hand into his.

"Well it's not too late to get dessert." You guys stopped in the middle of the market and just held hands.

"I've got the perfect dessert right here in front of me." He said looking down at you.

You both went silent before you both burst into laughter.

"Yeah that was cringy and I apologize." He shook his head and sighed loudly.

"I'm the worst."

You took this as an opportunity to lean in and place your lips onto his waiting for a reaction from him. You relaxed when he wrapped his arms around you and kissed back slowly pulling you closer to him. The owners of the restaurant clapped behind you two and you pulled away from his lips and giggled.

"You got your salty tears in my mouth!" you exclaimed and he smirked at you

"Jungkook if you say anything remotely pervy I will slap you and not look back" you warned him pointing at him.

He just shrugged and leaned in this time taking the initiative to kiss you slowly gliding his tongue across your lower lip.

"Alright Jungkook that's enough! I know who your mother is and she would not be proud of you right now!" Stephen said and Jungkook kissed your lips again before pulling away but still holding you close to his chest.

"I had a lot of fun tonight Jungkook, I really did." you mumbled rubbing his cheek with your thumb.

"Good, because I planned on taking you out again this week, if it's okay with you." he said rubbing your back and you nodded your head.

Suddenly Thinking Out Loud  started playing and you two looked over to see Stephen and Miranda dancing in the middle of their shop. Jungkook stood back and bowed in front of you.

"Can I have this dance with a beautiful lady such as yourself?" He asked you and you curtsied him.

"Yes sir you may" you granted him permission and he walked back over and held your right hand in his and placed his left hand on your lower back.

"Tonight is truly like a fairy tale" you said

"The only thing we're missing is fireworks." he said and you both jumped at the sound of fireworks.

"Well what do you know?" He said and you both looked outside.

"Oh hey guys!" Namjoon, your neighbor, said waving at you guys from the outside of his shop

"Hey Namjoon" you and Jungkook said chuckling as you both looked at each other and finished the night with more dancing and kisses.

Racial Cucks

You know, nothing is more annoying than when someone is criticizing and/or calling out someone else for their past/present fuck ups and crimes and some whiney little cuck wants to bring race into it like that's the reason why the person who fucked up is being criticized. It's an annoying, cowardly, typical snowflake tactic to cry foul with racism when racism isn't even present.

Recently the murderer OJ Simpson joined Twitter and many people (both black and white and other races too) didn't like it. Some people made smart ass jokes and talked shit to OJ (me included, just said "hey that murderer therealOJ32 joined Twitter") and others tried to petition Twitter and protest him joining (I wouldn't go that far, that's also snowflake bullshit, block options exist for a reason and you don't have to follow him nerds). So I looked up tweets relating to OJ joining and between the funny smart ass comments and cuck protests I came across some people (mostly black people) saying stupid racial shit like "White people mad" or "haters gonna hate" and then I saw this gem...

LMAO..... No..... Sorry black people, you're acting like retarded cucks about this and let me count the ways...

1. White people aren't the only ones talking shit and being upset about the juice being loose on Twitter, many other races of people including other black people know he killed those people and hate him for getting away with blatant murder.

2. People, regardless of race, have this silly little hang up where they don't like murdering pieces of shit. Funny right?

3. It doesn't matter that OJ is black. People would hate him regardless of the color of his skin because he's a filthy murderer.

4. I'm not even sure if Zimmerman is on Twitter currently, if he is I'm not and never will follow him either and if he did what OJ did and joined Twitter today I'd be up his ass with smart ass comments about him being a murderer as well, just as I did when he killed Treyvon years ago.

Point being, yes, I'm white, no, me talking shit to OJ isn't because I'm the evil racist whitey all these black cucks want us all to be. I hate murderous scum, no matter what color their skin is. OJ is a piece of shit, Zimmerman is a piece of shit as well..... Funny how that works..... Me, an evil white devil also hates another white man for murdering an innocent black youth. Wow! I'm like a mythical unicorn huh!? LOL....

So yeah, no, you're being retarded little cucks about it black folks, you're not sounding intelligent in the slightest when you say dumb shit like that. White, black, hispanic, asian, etc... If you're a murdering piece of shit, you're a murdering piece of shit. Doesn't get any deeper than that. Try using your bullshit race card next time your black neighbor shows disgust about OJ. Oh, I'm sure he'll be an "Uncle Tom" in your cuck eyes. 🙄

While we are on the subject of black people being racially retarded, another thing that annoys the ever living crap out of me is when still, in this day, 2019, some black cucks still wanna be like "Ok, white people, are you ready to apologize for slavery?" Uhhhhhh noooo..... This may surprise you, but no white person alive today was alive during slavery times and nor were any of you black people. None of us white people (aside from blatantly racist white trash) condone slavery, never agreed with it, and have no interest in ever doing it again. We didn't enslave your ancestors and we have no hate for black people so you don't deserve an apology for something we didn't even do and you don't deserve an apology because you were never a slave. It's far far faaaaaar in the past and this apology nonsense needs to die out like the racist white people who enslaved those black people did long ago... Present generations aren't held responsible for what past generations did. If you feel otherwise you're probably a racial cuck.

Next thing you know you'll see some dumbshit black teen being like "When are white people going to apologize for racial police brutality herpity derpity!?" Yeah, keep holding your breath for that one too. Again, I'm not a cop..... And while I'm white, I am against police being brutal and/or shooting unarmed and innocent black people, so I'm on your side..... No apologies necessary cause I'm not the racist cop that shot a black person. Just because random white people don't apologize doesn't mean we are cheering for long dead slave owners or present day racist cops. Get a grip and stop whining so much about this apology nonsense.

The sooner people stop playing the cuck race cards and accept things for how they truly are, the better off we will all be. Of course I feel this way about all snowflake, cucky behaviors and actions. People are just oversensitive pussies and it needs to stop. Lol

[numberonetacostan]

thinking about how taco and the rest of the s1 contestants would react to finding out she was practically made to win. like mephone visits the hotel post-finale talking about how he thinks they deserve to know what he planned for them to be like, and literally everyone ends up staring at taco when they hear about it. she probably wouldn’t even believe it at first. and then to think that she must have done something to ruin it for herself??

i also personally like to think that taco may have been one of the first ii contestants to break away from her programming and become her own person, even if she didn’t realize that’s what she was doing

Hello there :D!!!!!^^ Welcome, and thank you for sending in your hc!!!!! :] XD

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE THE MOST RIGHT EVER. FINALLY A REASON TO TALK MORE ABOUT THIS!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH ANON!!!! (also sorry because I have been thinking about this a lot a lot a lot so i might deviate a bit more from your ask than i usually do). SHE. WAS. BUILT. TO. WIN. BUT SHE DIDN'T.

A little tangent before I go into Taco finding out, I think the reason she lost despite having been supposed to win is actually because of Bow. Now, I've mentioned before how Bow is literally the reason that Taco lost- Taco getting attacked by her is how OJ was able to catch up and beat her in the final footrace. But on a more meta level, Bow disrupted the original plan for the season. She wasn't part of the original cast. Mephone was forced by A.D.A.M. to let her in the show after she appeared halfway through the season!! Her inclusion was not in Mephone's plan. Her showing up threw things out of whack, culminating in her influence causing the intended winner of the season to lose.

Taco having been the planned winner actually makes season 2's existence make more sense, too. OJ won and built everyone a big shiny hotel to live in, they had a happy ending and everything they could want! Had Taco won, though, she (most likely, I have thoughts on this but I won't go on a tangent for the tangent) would have left with the money!!! The rest of the cast would have been left with squat, and without even a winner to celebrate since Taco ditches them. Perfect reason to start another season, right there in the same spot as season 1 took place!!! Give someone else the chance to win after the last winner got her prize and dipped. I can see her taking on her "iconoclast" role even better here, too. She won, but she isn't happy. She accomplished her goal, has everything she wants, but she's alone. So she goes back and works behind the scenes to try and put a stop to the game that pushed her to such extremes. She sees how it impacts and hurts everyone involved, and wants to put a stop to it. She allies with Mic more altruistically, to try and help someone being hurt by the game as she works to put a stop to it!! Truth or Flare can still happen relatively normally, even, with Taco desperately trying to convince the contestants to quit before they end up like her! Having won the money, but really ended up with nothing. Her redemption arc comes as her trying to fix her wrongdoings by preventing others from making the same mistakes she did. She can apologize to Pickle, explain herself, and they can be friends again!

But that's not how it happened. The other "meaner" characters get their redemptions as planned. Knife in season 2, Nickel in season 3, even Silver apologizes and gets to continue to have a relationship with Candle after he punches her flame out, even if it's a but strained for some time. But Taco? Her programming couldn't properly execute. She was built to win, but she didn't. So Mephone no longer had a planned redemption for her, or any plans for her, really. In Truth or Flare, in which Mephone had his memories back, he is surprised to see Taco show up. He did not realize she was still around. Still running mostly on her old programming despite her hating herself for it, and trying to break out of it, because the previous conditions to begin her redemption arc were never met. She had to get to "winning the game, but losing what really mattered" in a different way, that way being winning immunity for Mic in episode 14, but losing her most important connection because of it. Once that happens, she can finally really begin to change and be better, because the condition has finally been met, even if it wasn't quite how it was intended to be.

OH RIGHT YOUR ASK IS ABOUT HOW TACO AND THE OTHER S1 CONTESTANTS REACT TO FINDING OUT. UH. OOPSIES. I AM SO SORRY. GETTING TO IT NOW.

I honestly hadn't though about Mephone telling them outright!!! It would be some good growth for him to be the one to decide to tell them something important like this, that they have the right to know. He'd probably have to leave again soon after though. I can't imagine Taco taking it any sort of well. You're right that she wouldn't believe it first, she wouldn't want to believe it at first. That all this? Everything? The years of suffering? Because she was defective? Couldn't win, even though she was made to? Was it all for nothing? Even if she had won, she still would have been alone? Pickle could have forgiven her, if only she'd been able to fulfill her purpose? Augh, that's all so scrambled, but that's how she'd be thinking, you know? She would be so overwhelmed, shocked, in despair, mourning, heartbroken, all at the same time wrapped up into one little Taco. She'd just be quiet and just staring at Mephone and in the littlest voice she's ever spoken in says she needs to be alone. Goes to leave, Mephone steps towards her and asks her to wait, because he does feel bad and wants to apologize, but Taco is so not ready for that. She's been trying to heal and be better after the events of the finale- but every single wound has been violently ripped open with new ones torn into her, and she just can't do it. She would give that sort of raw scream you can only give when you have so many feelings that they need to get out through your mouth and make it clear that she needs to be alone, now.

And then I think she would sob her little heart out. The messiest, most brutal breakdown you've ever seen. Panic attacks, scratching, shouting, sobbing, breaking things, you name it. They'd leave her be for a bit, but Mic would get worried hearing all the crashing, and go to check on her. Taco has destroyed whatever space she is in and is still sobbing and scratching and breaking down, and Mic gives her a hug. And Taco sobs more, but she's being held and she can squeeze Mic and cry into her shoulder. It's a bad day for everyone, all around. OJ is having a bad time too, but is taking it a lot better than Taco, and also this ain't about him. She has a lot of healing to be done from here, truly.

I'm going to stop here, because i think this answers your ask and i have been procrastinating on an assignment that i really do need to get done now, but I can talk more about this if anyone has questions or just wants to hear more!!!^^ please ask for more this is so so so much i love it so very much please i want to talk about it more please ask questions anything please please
