Why dis leon look so mad 😭😭😭

[stellasdrafts]

DI!Leon, who walks into the groom suite on your wedding day, intending to get ready for the ceremony when he spots an elegant photo album, trimmed with white lace placed neatly at the end of the bed. He comes closer and notices a small card with your loving handwriting: For my loving husband-to-be <3

DI!Leon, whose breath catches in his throat when he opens it, the pages littered with sultry photos of you, wearing not nearly enough clothing. You, his graceful younger bride, whom he still feels guilty for marrying. You deserve so much better.

DI!Leon, who feels his pants tighten as he continues to flip through the album. He touches the carefully glued trims and cute fake flowers and gems. Even with his growing erection lusty haze, he notices how the decorations on the pages ooze with your touch.

DI!Leon, who feels his chest constrict and his face grow hot as his eyes trail guilty over your form, taking in the myriad of different poses and sets of lingerie. One of you draped over a motorcycle, which makes him chuckle fondly as you were evidently toying with his newfound affinity for bikes. Another of you in his favourite set – a lacy dark blue one that you had picked out together early enough in your relationship but still had that magic touch to make him tick. It didn’t take much for you and Leon.

DI!Leon, whose mind can’t help but wander to your previous escapades. To how he’s sure his heart will give out every time you do the honour of bedding him. He isn’t as young as he used to be, after all. Despite that, he always gives you his all, his adoration—nothing less for his pretty girl.

DI!Leon, who lets himself get sappy on your wedding day. Who finds himself thinking he’d go through the hell that is his professional life all over again if it meant meeting you at the same time, in the same place that he did… Who doesn’t think twice about what could have been because he has you now. You saved him—his angel.

DI!Leon, whose hand trembles as he flips to the last page, containing a loving note and a sample of delicate white lace… The lingerie you’d be wearing tonight, he realizes with a groan.

DI!Leon, who can’t help but lie on the plush bed and unzip his pants, boudoir album in hand. After all, he can’t walk up in front of your friends and family with a hard-on, can he? Poor baby.

DI!Leon, who bites down on his ring finger as he finally cums, thinking about the wedding band that will soon take its rightful place there, binding you to him for the rest of his life. <3

DI!Leon who stares, awestruck, at the ink making up his soon-to-be-wife, always so beautiful…

Heart IV

Mapi Leon x Ingrid Engen x Child!Reader

Summary: A soft day off

"Well, good morning, sunshine," Ingrid coos as you wander out of your room.

You've got a major case of bedhead, still dressed in your crumpled pyjamas. You lift your arms up for uppies and Ingrid instantly puts you on her hip, turning back to stirring the eggs on the stovetop.

You're still very sleepy so Ingrid takes this moment to give you your medication.

"Open, please."

She drops the pills into your mouth and lets you swallow them down with a sippy cup of juice.

You're very good at taking your medication and it seems to perk you up a little as Ingrid dishes up breakfast.

It's a slow day, the last of the international break.

Ingrid's matches for Norway had finished earlier than other countries so she'd flown home immediately to get the most out of this day off before training started up again tomorrow.

"Would you go and get your Mami for me? I think she's still in bed."

You're helped down from the counter and wander off to Mami and Mama's room.

Mama was right, of course. Mami was still a lump in the middle of the bed, snoozing carelessly against her pillow. Bagheera sits next to her.

You know Mama told you to get Mami up but you spot her phone on charge a little way away and you go to grab it.

Tia Alexia has lots of games on her phone that she lets you play and you wonder if Mami has those games too.

Her phone is locked though so you can't check but you do spot her camera. You can use her camera app without logging in.

Mami and Mama use their camera apps a lot for lots of photos of you and them together. You've never used it on your own though and you're curious.

You swipe onto the app and adjust it so it's showing Mami and Bagheera in frame. There's a ray of sun coming in through the curtains and you want to capture that too.

The shutter sounds when you press the button and Mami jerks awake.

Her movement shocks Bagheera off the bed and she rubs her eyes. Mami looks around in shock before her features soften when she looks at you.

"Good morning, sunshine," She says," Is that my phone?"

"Morning, Mami!" You chirp, climbing up onto the bed with her," I took a picture!"

You can't access it without logging in so Mami unlocks her phone so you can show it to her.

Her mouth is wide open, mid snore, and Bagheera's got her leg sticking upright as she cleans herself. But you've got the sunbeam very clearly on camera so you're very happy.

Mami laughs. "That's a nice picture!"

"I know!" You giggle as she tickles your tummy. "Oh! Mama said it's time for breakfast! She made eggs!"

"Well, we can't leave Mama by herself! Vamos, sunshine!"

Your favourite days are days off. You get to cuddle with Mama and Mami and get lots of kisses because they love you so much.

You eat breakfast on the sofa for once in front of the tv before you migrate to playing with Bagheera on the floor. She's got a bell on a string that you wave at her.

She bats it a few times before grabbing the bell in her mouth and pulling the stick from your hand.

You giggle and Bagheera cocks her head to the side at the sound.

She looks adorable and you pat Mami's leg.

"Hmm? What is it?"

"Can I have your phone please?" You ask and Mami hands it to you.

You swipe onto her camera quickly and take your pictures of Bagheera looking very cute. She gets bored eventually of sitting in the same spot and curls up in her kitty bed and you migrate back up onto the sofa.

Mama adjusts you so you're on her lap and she pulls up your shirt to run her fingers over your Santa Heart scars.

She does that a lot. She checks them twice every day. Usually when you wake up and then at bathtime. She says that it's just so she knows they're healing correctly but they've been healed for a while now and Mami says it's because Mama is a worrier.

You smile at her though and raise the camera up to take a picture of her face.

You laugh at the silly face she pulls so you snap a few more.

"Mami!" You whine when Mami tries to take her phone back.

"I need it, sunshine," She laughs," It's not just a camera, you know."

You think of the camera hanging in Mama and Mami's room. You know you're not allowed to touch it by yourself because it's big and heavy and it's for the pictures when Mami thinks Mama is looking especially beautiful.

You think that you'd like a camera like that so you ask. You asked Santa for a new heart and you got it. You ask Mama for a camera for yourself too.

"Like Mami's, please?"

Mama hums as she thinks about it, carding her fingers through your hair. "That's a little big for you, sunshine. Maybe when you're older."

You deflate. "Oh."

"But we can get you a polaroid," Mama continues," That's good for your age and it means that your pictures immediately get printed out too."

"Really?" You perk up again.

"We'll pick one out together," Mami says, already booting up her laptop." Come here. Let's have a look."

Why I hate Jack Krauser for all the right reasons

Okay, so before I get lynched by someone; this is just my opinion and thoughts, I haven't played much of the original and so I'm solely going off the remake here. [I'm sorry in advance if I end up upsetting anyone. I'd be more than happy to hear other's thoughts on the topic of Krauser.] I wanna start with the obvious reason why. Killing off one of my favourites, Luis Serra. [Listen, I know it was different in the original RE4 where it was Saddler instead but let me be salty for a moment.] Luis had the Amber, he had his ticket out. He could've escaped with Ada yet helped Leon and Ashley at the same time (I know he technically still does help even after he dies by giving the lab key) But then Krauser had to come in, kill the beloved Spaniard to retrieve the Amber and proceeded to duel Leon with the intention of killing him. Just the pure malice in his voice when he says the word "Rookie". It's enough to practically send a chill. And then when Leon had originally reached for his gun and Krauser puts the same knife he killed Luis with to Leon's throat. The speed at which he moves at is terrifying. I know there's the counterargument of Krauser being controlled by the Plaga. But I still wanna go over the boss fight Krauser was Leon's mentor, that is pretty common knowledge. But just the build up to the fight. The dog tags that were left on display and the photo of rookie Leon with the words "I'M WAITING". Like, he didn't need to do that. But he did anyway.

And then the back and forth between them before the actual fight. Leon tries to talk sense into Krauser, but it's evident that Krauser was already too far gone. That is a shell of who he once was, and now he just wants to end Leon. Also the way his body mutates during the boss fight really puts the final nail in the coffin. The line "Dead? No, I've been reborn..." really shows just how lost the actual Krauser is inside that body. Now it was just a husk of a man, a mindless mutant that's set out to kill.

And by the end, when Leon hold Krauser's knife, he sees a reflection of himself in it. Unlike earlier when in that one sequence after Verdugo it was Krauser's reflection looking right back at Leon. It really just reflects for a moment as to what had occurred. Leon had defeated his mentor, the very person who had trained him to be the agent he was today. I know this isn't normally the type of stuff I post and this is just a rant that could've been summed up with "I don't like Krauser because he killed Luis :(" and me being salty about it. But I do see the appeal! I can see why people like him. Hell, I think he is a pretty damn good rival to Leon due to both their past together and how Krauser matches his skill and strength level (I know, he used to be his mentor, no shit). [Though I don't see why some people ship them. That's just not my thing.} Anyways, if you read all of that: I'm sorry. Why? It felt like I just pointed to the obvious things that happened in game with some parts probably being overlooked. Okay rant over. Have a nice rest of your time awake.

(PHOTO and VIDEO) Joker Out at Lent Festival heated up the Maribor audience: Crowd of teenagers* at Leon Štukelj Square

Last night's highlight of the first Lent Festival weekend

Photo: SAŠO BIZJAK

Maribor was heated up, streets were packed, and there was a crowd full of teenagers* on Leon Štukelj Square. Everything was ready for the concert of the stars, the Joker Out band, who were the highlight of the first weekend of Lent Festival. As we waited to get in and catch the band before the concert, we spoke to Alja from Maribor. "I've been following them since 2018. Back then they had a concert at Lent, and there were ten of us, it was free. It's really good that they managed to do succeed like this now," said the enthusiastic fan*. We caught up with them right after soundcheck and a few other commitments on stage.

Carpe Diem live in Maribor for the first time

"We have really appeared on stage here in Maribor many times in the last few years, it has been nice to see the crowd getting bigger and louder, we are always very warmly welcomed and we really love coming back here. But in 2018, our first concert at Lent Festival was on the Večer stage, I remember it was raining, there were canopy tents set up, there were just enough people to hide under those four or five tents. Today, I don't think that would be possible anymore," the good-humoured Bojan Cvjetićanin told us. The boys remarked that there would definitely be no rain this evening, because 'we're going all out with partying (1)', and promised to play their entire repertoire for Maribor. "We know both us and them will enjoy it. It will be the first time Carpe Diem will be performed live in Maribor. A premiere," added Cvjetićanin.

(1) T/N this part was said in Maribor dialect

And indeed. There was no rain that evening, and the temperature was very suitable for warming up the enthusiastic crowd. Done as promised. In an hour and a half they provided a medley of songs from the first and second album. They started with Katrina, continued with Ne Bi Smel, Plastika, Dopamin, A Sem Ti Povedal Kdaj, Padam, Demoni, Srce ocena, Metulji, Vse Kar vem, Vem Da Greš… When she discovered the latter song, she started listening to them, the 29-year-old Eva from Maribor told us. "I've been following them for about three years, I've been to their concert in Ptuj, and I've been cheering for them at Eurovision. I like their magnetic energy. Because they are genuine, exactly as they are. They have a special depth in their lyrics that you can find yourself in. They fit Lent, they bring a youthful energy to it. May they come to Maribor many more times," she said. Teja, 17, from Maribor, has been following Joker Out for about a year and her favourite song is Metulji. Her friends Metka and Romina have been following them since Eurovision. They like them because they have a new touch and because the lyrics are a bit different and not so superficial, they told us.

Leon Štukelj Square was full of enthusiastic fans∗. PHOTO: SAŠO BIZJAK

The best concert ever for a Canadian*

Although the concert was, clearly, mostly young people, there were also some older female fans in the crowd. "Our whole family listens to Joker Out. The biggest fan is my granddaughter, who is two years old, but she couldn't come to the concert with us (yet). The rest of us came from Koroška (T.N.: region in northern Slovenia) for the concert," said Andreja from Vuzenica.

PHOTO: SAŠO BIZJAK

As Bojan already noted on stage, it wasn't only the local fans who were listening to them in Maribor. Anna Herran from Canada travelled a lot more kilometres than anyone else to be able to listen to them in Maribor. "I am currently studying in Prague," she explained. She spotted them at Eurovision. "'Well done!' After that I really wanted to go to their concert, I saw their summer tour and I came from Prague yesterday. I've been to Slovenia before, I really like it, but never to Maribor, so it was a great opportunity to combine one with the other. It was the best concert I've been to so far! Everyone is taller than me, so I didn't see some parts, but it was still great, I really want to go to another concert of theirs, I hope that one day they will come to Canada; or Prague, which is closer to them," the smiling 28-year-old told us after the concert. She particularly likes that they sing in Slovenian, and sometimes in Serbian, she added. "When you live in North America, everything is always in English, so it's great to hear other languages. Now that I'm here, I can even say a few things in Slovene. 'Hvala lepa!' That's what I learned from them. And the fans∗ translate the texts online, which I really appreciate," she added.

"No, I'm not signing your passport …"

Now that they have already performed abroad, we were curious to see how the band feels standing on Slovenian, home stages. What is the difference? "We like anyone who sings our music in Slovenian," Jan Peteh answered. Kris Guštin added that there is less difference between Slovenian and foreign stages than they thought there would be. "Absolutely, we thought that Slovene would be a really big hurdle between us and the audience, but it turned out that it's not the case. It even turned out that this kind of barrier that the language sets is a very fun challenge for the fans, because they are very relaxed about the concert and they are ready to absorb everything that we give them. On stage we feel very primal, very childlike, and so do the fans∗," explained Cvjetićanin. Are they now more confident on stage after Eurovision? "I think the difference is quite noticeable, especially if we have pink clothes on stage," Peteh added, laughing.

During the concert, many objects flew onto the stage, some of them off it. The singer said that he already has a room full of presents at home, but he is always happy to receive new ones. "That T-shirt I signed was not an invitation to throw all the items of clothing on stage." "No, I'm not signing your passport," the band's singer, among other things, told the audience, from whom they also said goodbye in style. "We've saved it for last because it suitably describes the continuation of the evening … Carpe Diem!"

[wtfuckevenknows]

Nice ask week!

Your hockey posts have been intriguing me but I know nothing about hockey! Who's your favourite player/team? What do you like best about it? Have you been to many games? Okay, this is nice ask week and not ask too many questions so I'll leave it there, lol. ❤️🏒

I fucking LOVE talking about hockey so ask away as much as you want!!!

I have a couple of favorite teams and players, let's divide them by leagues.

The NHL aka the league in North America that plays in both the US and Canada:

Fav teams: Chicago Blackhawks (although it pains me to still say that), Dallas Stars Fav players: Jonathan Toews (taking a year off because of his health right now) & Patrick Kane (had hip surgery and is on no team right now) both used to be Blackhawks; Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin both Dallas Stars (if you have read Magnetic North by @paperstorm they both make an appearance and Andie nailed their characterization (shameless MN plug as always)); Leon Draisaitl (player from my hometown), Dominik Kahn (used to be a Blackhawk, plays in Switzerland now)

The DEL aka the German hockey league

Fav team: Cologne Sharks, obviously my hometown team Fav players: Sebastian Uvira (used to be a Shark, plays in Schwenningen now), Travis Turnbull (retired at the end of last season), I was so pissed last season because Uvi wasn't here anymore that I refused to choose a new favorite, this season the favorites chose me (I had NO part in this) and they are Justin Schütz (sunshine boy) and Brady Austin & Alexandre Grenier (the hot Canadian hockey twins (they're obv not actually twins)), I nearly forgot Nick Latta (Schatzi used to play for the Sharks, now plays in the DEL2)

Onto the next question...

I love everything about it, but mostly that there is just SO MUCH HAPPENING in a game. It's fast paced, there's usually lot's of goals, there's fights, it's just really fucking entertaining imo (and way too fucking nerve-wracking on a regular basis)

The hockey butts are a perk too 😉

I have been to.............................

A FUCK TON of games!!! Don't ask me to count, because I've had a season ticket for the Sharks on and off since the 2013/2014 season, I go to a couple away games a season usually, the World Cup was in Cologne in 2017 and I went to way too many games and I've been to games in the NHL and once a game in Switzerland. (I have smuggled my way into press territory in Switzerland and at a couple of Sharks games and taken photos from ice level during the game and most notably at the final of the hockey World Cup 🤫)

I will stop rambling now 😅

Day 27 - 7 May - forced rest day LEON

First thing this morning I hobbled over to the physio for my 8.30. Cost 50€ and I left there at 10.20! Massaged the ankle and firstly isolated all the knots from walking. His expression was he needed to ‘clear’ it although he may have said ‘clean’ it! After an hour he used two machines. I can’t remember what the first one was - it pulsed and wow it HURT! The second was an electrical stimulation machine. His English was excellent I thought, but he admitted today (my second visit) that he was disappointed with it and it wasn’t as good as he would like it to be. Lets face it - better than my Spanish…. 😲

I decided on leaving I wanted to take him home…Carrie and I have discussed what we want to take home in our rucksacks. She would definitely take Bruno the dog. But in addition I would take the cute ukulele player, the owner of our Albergue in Castrojeriz (as would Carrie) and also Javier Pena Florez the physio. Hope Pete doesn’t mind..the house will be a very full house 😂 And I need a massive rucksack!

Carrie is now on day 1 without me 😔 but hopefully she’s ploughing on in good Nordic style. So glad the weather has improved. There are lots of Camino friends around and some staying at the same Albergue so she is in good company.

My walk to the physio took me through some interesting parts of Leon. Very narrow beautiful lanes. You can tell the older houses - they are made of adobe, a mixture of straw, clay, sand and water.

There seems to be so many old buildings that they appear not to be protected so many are routinely modernised quite badly. But plenty remain.

This huge historic building was undergoing conservation - think the sign said it was a historical archive/museum of some sort. Walking past a narrow little lane I could see an interesting gateway at the end. Wow - it’s old, neglected and graffitied. Seemed such a shame. I loved it.

The second gateway was much better looked after and had been incorporated into an apartment complex.

On the way back from the physio - I came across loads of little squares tucked away like this one. The red building is an albergue!

After the physio I went for breakfast at my favourite cafe for bacon and eggs. Since going there I have been totally fascinated by this wall photo of Leon as it used to be. However that amazing wall on the right still survives and is right opposite the cafe. It can also be seen around other parts of this beautiful city.

And this is the amazing front entrance (only open weekdays) of the hospital.

I had to rest then as the walk to the physio had worn me out.

But I did meet Carol for a drink early evening. She had been to a sushi restaurant as a break from bread, meet and cheese! I had pizza at the restaurant right outside the cathedral. Two glasses of wine, bottle of water and a pizza….22€ in the main Leon square!

[cuddlytogas]

all right, let's do this. favourite menswear at the met gala. do I know who half of these people are? no. and yet, I remain Obsessed.

i will say, it feels like more people actually made an effort with the theme this year, but maybe that's just because it's too easy to slap a flower on something and call it a day, lmao

almost all photos taken from Vogue's wrap-up. and of course, as always, the night was saved by men of colour, thank god

1. Bad Bunny ABSOLUTELY tops my list!!! I love the HAT, I love the bouquet, I love the glasses, I love the corseted waist with the POWERFUL shoulders... the asymmetrical basting stitches and underside of the collar, the inseam ribbons, the backs of the cuff stitches... the CLOVEN SHOES with FUR SPATS?????? at face value it's still just a suit-shaped suit, but actually committing to the corset is based, and it's just such a creative and powerful look, I'm obsessed with it. I don't know if this was the point, but the way it highlights the work and craftsmanship that goes into clothes and fashion, acknowledging the work of the tailor that has its roots in centuries of tradition and innovation, and that little hint of devilry in the power, the shoes, the glasses, the sense of subversion... yes yes yes. also shoutout to him not switching from Spanish in his interview with La La Anthony 🔥

2. Leon Bridges! Love the extra wide shoulders with the little puffs on the sleeves, the spiked lapels extending over the top, the crossover(?) tie, the gloves.. are the shirt cuffs also doing something fun? and the extra-bell bell bottoms, the jewels, the lavender on the lapels, the wisteria on the belt????? and the hair is just perfect. yes, excellent stuff, thank you

3. wearing literally anything that's not a suit puts Gustav Magnar Witzoe near the top of the list, and the more I look at it, the more it grows on me... the glamour, oh my

4. Lil Nas X with designer Raul Lopez!! (extra photo from here, and screenshot from the Vogue livestream) I love the fun shapes, A Million Buttons, the wide legs, the trailing tails, but most especially I love the sculpted waist piece! fun little reveal without the coat on aaa

5. Alton Mason, with the textures, the shoes, the train, and especially that hair/headpiece/veil combo, my GOD

6. last, and kind of least, Wisdom Kaye, because I love the whole vibe, and the colour, and the hat, and the SCORCH MARKS, and the pleated cuffs and lapels... but really, it's nothing particularly special at its heart. great details, great overall effect, but not wildly exciting.

two near misses to top off the list: Barry Keoghan actually broke my heart, coming so close and then chickening out with the Just A Modern Suit, but I love the fabric, the hat, the high collar and cravat, the little ruffled sleeve cuffs... although, the running stitch around the edge of the cravat then left to fray, is... :\

Jon Batiste had a similar problem, where he had that gorgeous eveningwear floral brocade(?) waistcoat, but paired it with a perfectly ordinary, if prettily narrow-shouldered, modern suit

honourable mentions go to:

Lewis Hamilton in this gorgeous ensemble, which doesn't have anything particularly interesting going on, but I happened to catch the explanation, which really engages with history around slavery and gardens, and the first black gardener in Wales, and there's a poem on the inside of the coat by a pioneering black English poet... so. and it is absolutely beautiful. plus the hair? the thorn necklace?? woof.

Kieran Culkin, because it's so FUN!! The colours! The rings! The necklace! The shoes!! and in concert with the yellow dress on Jazz Charton, what a delightful combo

I don't really like Will Welch's suit, but I appreciate the soft slouched shoulders. and in a similar vein, Alex Sharp's suit is fine, but I do like the snatched waist and smashing shoulders, going in the complete opposite direction

and finally, Jeff Goldblum, because it's a basically ordinary suit, but he's really finished it with scarf and gloves and accessories, and god damn does he wear it with such SWAGGER 🔥

bonus round for my favourite womenswear: Natasha Poonawalla in this cool as hell mushroomy dress aaaaa

[sleepy-achilles]

Drew asks. "They wanna see Leon in a suit" Randy hums. "Oh Leon doesn't do suit and tie. Not even at our wedding." Drew chuckles. "Ok I'm not expecting a tie but you know, the rest sure." Sheamus states. "Yeah he'll probably have a button up on. Don't get weird tho" drew warns. "Never" sheamus holds his hands up. A knock at the door tells them it's time to go. "Well, let's go sit for a few hours" drew yawns. "Gonna feel like a proper assembly" sheamus smirks wrapping an arm around drews shoulders as they walk out.

Both men immediately stop.

"Damn" drew mutters. His heart races as he takes in the sight. "Damn right" sheamus huffs.

Leon looks over at his partner and friend. "Hey guy" Leon smiles slipping his shades off. "Lookin good boys" he smirks. "You are so fuckin hot" drew blurts out. Leon's eyes widen before closing and smiling. "Well thank you, I do try"

Drew moves closer, placing his hands under the red jacket to rest on the black shirt. His eyes immediately land on the opening of the shirt, how his name is on show. "That-" "every photo and interview. Told them no editing" Leon smirks, leaning up to kiss drew. Drew can't fight the growl that escapes his throat as he kisses back. Leon pulls back, nipping his lower lip. "I like it." Leon mutters, his eyes not on drews outfit. "Yeah baby boy?" Drew smirks. Leon practically purs at the man. "Ew enough! Showtime!" Cassie gags. "Reckon you can hold it in?" Leon smirks patting drews chest. "A lot better than you" drew smirks taking Leon's hand so they can begin walking together.

"I reckon we add some bandanas" cassie states to John. "I aint messing my hair up" Leon frowns. "Wear it around your thigh, like your pa used to." Drew suggests. "See! That's why we have you around drew" John smiles tossing the bandana to Leon. "Why man" "we both have something taker themed. Big evil is the only one left to represent and he is your favourite." John states, tapping his hat and motioning to cassies dress design and gloves. "Red and black not enough?" Leon asks. "What if we tricked you and its not red?" Cassie smirks. "Already tested it with my phone dipshit" Leon smirks causing the girl to huff as they get to their seats.

Once sat, drew slings Leon's leg over his. "Aw drew I don't want to dirty your trousers-" "don't be stupid. No one will see" drew tuts as he ties the bandana around Leon's thigh. Leon doesn't move his leg, especially as drew places his hand on it, rubbing it with his thumb. Leon relaxes,allowing one hand to twirl and fiddle with drews hair as the show starts. Leon kisses his teeth as he uses his free hand to put his shades back on.

It's gonna be a long show.

--------

"You know, this will be you one day." Drew whispers as the speech continues. "Speeches ain't my thing." Leon mutters. "Not the Speech-" "I know. It'll be us some day" Leon chuckles. Drew looks at him. "You think?" "I aint getting put in the hall of fame without you Drew. Not even as a husband thing. You've been my longest tag team partner. Even with the amount we argued and fought, you always had my back. Even when we weren't on the same team" Leon explains. "Yeah...vince hated that time period." Drew chuckles. "Best tag partner...no, best partner anyone could ever have. So they either put us both in here or don't even bother" Leon hums. Drew smiles. "God why can't you always be this sweet?" Drew coos kissing Leon's cheek.

Leon can't help but smile. "Gotta keep ya on your toes darling"

---

"Now, put your hands together to welcome The Michaels consisting of, John cena, Leon Michaels and Cassidy Michaels."

Leon huffs and kisses drews cheek before forcing himself up. Drew can't help but smile as Leon falls into performer mode as soon as he stands.

Leon and John stand either side of Cassie as they stand at the podium. The siblings stand and look as the crowd cheer. Leon looks around and this causes the fans to get louder. He can't help but chuckle and shake his head. He leans down to the mic. "Calm down, you'll be seeing us at wrestlemania ya dogs, this isn't about us" Leon tells them. As Leon straightens up the deepest voice he's ever heard yells, "I LOVE YOU LEON!" The siblings burst into laughter as Leon shakes his head. "Heel! Heel people, cmon" Leon huffs.

"Enough, this isn't about us. It's about our father" John states. "The Undertaker" cassie says in a spooky voice. "Something, not a lot of people can say" cassie adds. Leon leans against the podium causing John to glare at him. "Oh cmon, we all knew I was going to break rules straight away. I'll pay the fine" Leon shrugs. "We were given rules and threats of fines. That is true. Leon's already getting fined." John states. "Cannot mention vinces name. Cannot try to embarrass the undertaker. I'm basically not allowed to do anything but breathe, John has to keep his shirt on and cassie Cannot swear." Leon explains. "Two fines now" cassie smirks.

"Yeah, let's start before Vinnie fines us for going over time" Leon smirks. "Three."

-----I do actually have a mini fic about their speech. I just haven't finished it because I don't know what to write. Soooo no speech for ya yet-------

Leon pulls a handkerchief out of his pocket and gives it too a crying cassie. Cassie smiles and accepts it. "You got anything to say about Undertaker?" John asks him. Leon hums before pushing his shades onto his head. "I don't have to say anything about The Undertaker. You all know him, you all know the legend and the phenom that is the Undertaker. The man who scared but inspired millions. Made a few class memes." Leon comments getting cheers. Cassie moves back and John pulls Leon into the middle. Leon looks down at the mic. "I could tell you what you already know, or I could tell you about the man who was not only my hero but my saviour." Leon states.

John smiles at his baby brother. How far he's come. How far they've all come. He can't wait till its their time to be in the hall of fame.

"Dont get me wrong, we definitely had some really rough patches together but everything you saw? Between us, that was always real. That mentor storyline? It wasn't a storyline to me. That was real. To me atleast, I don't know how he feels about it or me infact but..I owe that man a lot. He saved me when I was going down a dark path. Helped me learn to control that anger and violence yall saw in me at a young age. And I will always be thankful for him. Proud to call the undertaker my father." Leon speaks.

He glances up as he realises the arena is dead silent. "Ah fuck it I don't do speeches. Imma go pay my fines, yall enjoy the rest of the night!" Leon yells. The crowd goes wild again. "Sorry vinnie" all three smile before walking off.

Leon collapses in his chair as their father comes out. "Not into speeches huh?" Drew asks pulling Leon to stand. "Shut up" Leon huffs watching his father's embrace. "I think you did amazing" drew smiles. "Thank you" Leon squeezes his hand before he's pulled into a hug. Leon can't help the yelp. "Thank you Lee." Taker whispers. Leon sighs and hugs him back. "Anytine old man" Leon smirks.

Taker chuckles and clips the back of Leon's head as he pulls back. "Hope you know vince is writing all three of you up. Especially you" "Ah its worth it. Now go bore them to death" Leon claps his shoulder. "Yeah yeah, gonna stare at them all and not say a word." Taker smirks as he walks off.

Leon sits back down. "Never seen so much emotion outta you two before" drew teases. "Yeah yeah" Leon smirks tilting his head back. Sheamus leans forward behind him and knocks his shades back. "Thanks Bullet" Leon hums. "Anytime Slim" sheamus hums.

"We getting pizza after this?" Leon asks. The group hums in agreement. "Awesome" "Leon shush" Shawn scolds. "Sorry pa"

--------

The group sit around the empty pizzeria. "I want to thank you all" Taker smiles. "Eh don't get sappy on us now old man" Leon yawns. "I'd hate to have a moment here lee" Taker snarks. "Good. I've had enough for one night" Leon leans forward. "Yeah, he's had a whore moment and a emotional moment" cassie smirks. "Whore moment?" Leon asks. "You think we didn't notice you flashing the drew tattoo every chance you got?" John asks. "Just letting the peeps know who I belong too. No harm in that, dad does it every day" Leon states nodding at takers neck. "Damn right I do." Taker smiles at shawn.

"I think you should get one" Randy smirks. "No way. You get one." John huffs. "Im getting one" Rhea hums. "Yes! I get to feel what yall feel" cassie smiles. Shawn smiles at his little misfits. His weird made up family. He watches as sheamus and Leon feed each other as finn and alexa tease them. He watches as randy and John argue with cassie and rhea and liv about whatever. He watches as Taker and drew are the only ones having a civil conversation. Yeah, even though not all of them are here. Cody at aew, Adam and Naomi gone too. Mattie and Val taking the world by storm their own way. The elders off doing their own thing. It's family. And that's all that matters, even if they aren't always together.

"Shawn" Shawn looks at taker. "Go on drew he's all yours." Shawn looks at drew. "Thank you for passing your beauty onto Leon. I am blessed each and every day. And thank you for letting me have his hand." Drew smiles. Shawns cheeks heat up as he smiles. "Thank you for taking him off my hands and looking after him. Feel like I should be paying you for the crap you put up with." "Oh I know, I don't deserve him" Leon cuts in. "Now what did I say about moments? Eat pizza or go wait in the corner." Leon frowns shoving pizza towards drew. The group laugh.

And that's how the night goes on.

No drama. No fights.

Just laughter and love.

SOBBING

Tumblr posted this before it was finished.

I saved it too my drafts

[mwuuh]

I think this is my favourite image from the first Danganronpa game.

I already really like the in-game photo you find of Mondo, Leon, and Chihiro hanging out, because I really cherish the thought that the three of them were friends before everything happened. Here we also see Mondo ruffling Chihiro's hair.

Seeing Celeste in normal clothes was also something to behold, but I think what stuck out to me the most was Toko (bottom left).

She's smiling and having fun with her friends. Look at her, genuinely smiling and looking over at her friends, after what I can only assume was a hefty gym class. She's not insecure and hateful or arrogant or drooling over Byakuya (standing to the far right like a fucking asshole, god, I hate him).

I love love love seeing these pictures from their normal time at school, just hanging out and being friends.

It makes it so much more tragic knowing what happened to them.

wild times in the spare change fandom

(there is canonically rpf, the landscape of which changed over the course of the band’s existence, the original popular pairing of which was Bridie x Cardinal with Ishani x Leon as a secondary pairing. They’re obviously not “canon” but with none of them having public statements out regarding their sexualities I understand where they’re drawing the chemistry from, similarly in a meta way, in some delusional future in which i am famous, I would also understand the context in which someone would want to ship that. There was slash fic at this time but the gay ships got more popular the longer the band existed and there were more interviews to pull from and the four of them just got more comfortable joking with each other about stuff like that.

I’d like to go on a small tangent about Leon because in a bizarre turn of events he has slowly marinated some flavour while i wasn’t looking and now I have things to say about him. I think he gets treated similarly to the way that Hozier is treated. “WHY DOES HE DRIVE THE GOLF CART LIKE THAT IM CRYINGGGGGGG 😭😭😭”

especially the way that people lose their minds over those angelic back lit live photos

Though with Hozier ppl are like ‘shout out to hozier for inventing love’, (talking about his lyricism) but that doesn’t happen with Leon because he doesn’t write the lyrics to the songs — although Vivian thinks that he should. Instead it’s about the things that he says in interviews and the weird existential poetic shit that he says far too offhandedly for comfort. He ended up getting banned from talking in interviews bc he kept turning simple questions into anxious musings about the universe and no one knew how to move on from it.

‘You know, and I wonder sometimes if any of it really matters. In a world reclaimed by plants, would anything that I’ve done last? Soil gunking up the inside of cassette tapes and that. My single bass line, the last thing left of me, would be silently stored on the millions of records it was printed into, never to be played again. And then I wonder if I have any right to worry about it at all. I think it’s selfish in a way, to care about a legacy.’

‘Leon the question was do you have a favourite guitar that you own.’

‘Oh.’

he was mad about getting banned for a while until an alternative type culture show requested an interview with him and he and the interviewer just sat on the floor on sequinned pillows and spoke at length about that kind of philosophical stuff and the fans lost their fucking shit let me tell you. VCR’ed to death. and then there were copies made of the copies bc everyone needed their own copy. following the collapse of the band it eventually was reincarnated (2011) into who could get the most artistic generation loss coupled with super distorted and slowed spare change music something something metaphor for corruption. idk he found out about it later and was like. you know what. it was very traumatic but yeah this is comforting in a very weird way.

side note he’d be number 1 vance joy listener on spotify

anyway

There was a series of some sort that he was extremely invested in (which i haven’t invented the barest trace of a premise for yet.) and was later the appointed president of the local fan club for it, after being a loyal submitter of fanfic for the zine for several years. and oh yeah baby we’re on some trekkie type shit here. Leon Barta most prolific slash fic writer in the whole prefecture.

this is the early 90s btw. he changed mediums with the dawn of the internet. i’ll explain the way the trallum internet works later but he had a personal page that linked from the main fanclub page (think old geocities/neocities) where he posted his work. That page was later taken down as spare change began to pick up traction and someone found it and panic ensued as he didn’t remember the login to it and he was freaking out so badly that he convinced dick to call the admin people at The Internet to get it taken down from the other end (damage control now, ask questions later). neglected to mention what was actually ON the page tho

Ishani figured it out pretty quickly though and maintained her poker face honourably but broke down the end.

She knew because she was his long suffering editor and spent time in the public library with him while he built the website in the first place.

Their high school time was strange. they both identified as lesbians at that time for context and both agreed with the concept of ‘yes i am a lesbian but i do not like the concept of participating in lesbian sex. maybe I’m just lying to myself’. fast forward eeerereewwewewewweeerrrreeeupp. asexual lesbian and straight trans man. it all made sense to them in retrospect but at the time ishani spent most of her time being endlessly frustrated at anything and everything to distract from the main issue (complicated feelings too messy for her to want to deal with. Very heteronormative in that it’s a given that she’d marry a man, but that’s a deep issue in conflicts between culture and scripture and victorian colonisation and she really just wants to get through school with good grades right now. unpacks it later in her 20s but using aimless frustration as a coping mechanism with being uncomfortable never went away which is again a problem in itself) and leon had some kind of weird guilt complex over being a lesbian but writing purely about men fucking other men.

sorry side tangent

there was considerable public jealousy of bridie when she and leon announced they were together (mostly the leon fan folk who were angry they couldn’t get with him and also are fourteen and need to get some sleep bc they have school tomorrow). and then natural follow up is oh okay so cardinal x ishani.

C: oh no we’re just friends :)

I: EW no he’s gross look at him. he is like a brother to me. a gross yuck BROTHER. EW. why the fuck would i be in love with him that’s disgusting

C: :( :( man i thought you loved me :( u were literally the best guest at my wedding

I: SHIT MAN I AM SO SORRY. i do love you. you;re still objectively gross tho.

C; yeah okay fair enough

i must confess also that Leon’s entire character was originally based off the specific look that peter hook makes at 5:14 in the perfect kiss music video after playing the drums while their actual drummer is playing a keyboard with one finger like he;s trying to laser it with his eyes and their singer is going wild with a cowbell.

he’s not like that anymore tho he buys plants from the hardware store and is convinced that if he thinks too many bad vibes they will die and also keeps a sourdough starter and has to feed it and bridie refers to it as ‘the beast’

the following is a bunch of pictures that i imagine their house looks like

t4t adhd stoner + chronically anxious and plagued with visions

thank you thank you i’m here all night

[scariusaquarius]

just had the softest idea like imagine you and leon ordered take out (pizza idfk) and it arrives so Leon goes to answer it and asks u to get him his wallet/le cash. So you open the wallet to pull out some money only to find your picture in there. Leon is lowkey blushing but nonchalant abt it like "it's my favourite photo of you :) come on, let's eat before pizza goes cold" im- 😭💕

Ashie pls i will SOB RIGHT HERE 😭😭😭😭😭 He always keep a photo of you on his person because it gives him the motivation he needs to keep goung; the will to keep trying and living and fighting for a future he can be proud of for you, and when you find the picture and ask him when he comes back with the pizza, Leon's ears go pink and then he says the thing.

"It's my favorite photo of you."

But then you smile and whip out your own wallet TO OPEN IT AND THERE IS A PICTURE OF HIM THAT YOU TOOK: It's of Leon when Chris told him a stupid fart joke and Leon couldn't help but laugh, head tilted back and he was loOKING AT YOU AND THEN YOU TOOK THE PICTURE ZHSBSUWBSISBSIEBEIE

Leon blushing over his pizza like "leon, you're redder than the pepperoni."

"No, i am not >:'("

But he's smiling and bumping his knee against yours and PLEASEEEEE

Little Moth - Chapter 1 - The Beginning Is The End Is The Beginning

[Hi guys, welcome to my fanfiction. This is a Resident Evil inspired fanfiction, I wanted to incorporate a number of my favourite characters, and especially our beloved Magnet Daddy. Slow burn, soft smut impending, beyond that who knows… But to be safe I will say that this is for 18+ years of age only. Let me know if you’d liked to be on a tag list for future chapters. Masterlist is pinned. Thank you to everyone that has read so far. <3]

Masterlist

Trigger Warnings: Mention of menstruation, swearing.

Y/N Protagonist, female. Reader X Karl Heisenberg [18+]

Summary:

Your lifelong friend, Leon Kennedy, has mysteriously gone missing two years after the events of Racoon City. You make a discovery that could lead to his whereabouts; dare you enter the Village?

[Photos are my own] You weren’t sure exactly what you were looking at for a moment, arching your back forwards over the desk in the dimly lit room, the glare from the laptop the only source of light. Several windows had been left open on the screen, and despite the turmoil that Leon’s apartment had been left in, this was what had really grabbed your attention.

The most notable of which was a photo, the resolution was grainy, a scan from a black and white film photo, it looked almost like a foetus, but you couldn’t be sure. Was somebody pregnant? It was almost akin to the sort of photograph that expecting parents would show at a baby shower, but this was… different. You had a feeling of impending doom just by looking at this thing.

Next, another very grainy photo of a town, it almost looked like some of the places from back home in England; a church steeple, a castle or maybe a mansion in the distance? A quaint looking village in the snow. And lastly, a very cryptic email;

                                               10/10/2000

Leon,

Know not what I have done, but what I believe must be done now.

Half of the results of good intentions are evil; half of the results of an evil intention are good.

You have the information that you need, please make haste.

A friend.

Well, that’s ambiguous as fuck. You thought to yourself, pushing the chair back and pulling the lighter from the little band on the side of your cap. You reached to your shoulder and cursed. That’s right, you’d given up, “for health reasons”. Putting the lighter back you reached instead for your camera, a notepad and a pen. You’d been tempted to just take the laptop and the scattered papers, but after several years in the police you knew it was beneficial to leave things as they were. Your eyes flitted from paper to paper, taking notes of numbers, flights, times, place names, anything that you could until you’d filled a couple of pages. One page for practical info, and one page, now that you looked at it almost sounded like a fairy tale;

A village, four kings, four lords, and a mysterious ‘Mother Miranda’. You bit the end of the pen and pondered. It was like nothing you’d ever heard of before, what had he got himself into…

Several days ago you had received a text from the man himself;

‘Y/N I am going to be out of

town for a while, something has

come up. Please don’t worry,

will explain soon. Leon. X

P.S. I’ve left Timesplitters in

your mail box, play you again

when I get back! :] ’

And now here you were. You scoffed knowing he’d have had to pay double to send that one, but he was mad to think that you wouldn’t worry, he was like a brother to you, hell, the only family that you had. After a childhood growing up in rural England you had moved to the states with your father and stepmother when you were in those vulnerable years of your teens during the early 90s, but were lucky enough to have met Leon in school. The two of you had become best friends quickly, and even graduated from the same police academy. It was Leon that saved your butt two years ago when all hell broke loose in Racoon City, him and Claire.

You shifted on the collapsible chair in front of the usually neatly tidied desk which was now strewn with various papers and articles. Your thoughts of Claire continued, and you pulled out your Nokia, opened a message and then faltered. It was late. Later than late you realised, seeing the time; 02:08 AM. What am I doing? You didn’t want to wake her, so you put the phone back into the pocket on your belt.

You swept a strand of your hair behind your ear, the outgrown bangs jumping back in the way and you blew at them irritated. You heard a grumble and moaned, looking down at your stomach. Padding across the shiny, tiled floor you left the desk and headed to the kitchen, opening the fridge where you knew there would be left-over pizza. Sure, it was from over a week ago when you were last here hanging out, but hey, it’s pizza, right?

‘Ugh dude, always with the anchovies, why?’ you mumbled, flinging a small fish into the bin and mentally backhanding the back of Leon’s head. Of course, it was his side of the pizza that was left over, probably trying to stay in shape in case he bumped into ‘Ada’ again. You weren’t keen, but then, you didn’t trust her. You looked at your phone again, left on the desk besides the laptop, Leon would be much better off with Claire, but sadly you felt perhaps that ship had set sail long ago.

You went to sit yourself back down at the desk. CRUNCH “Shit!” Your eyes darted to your right knee. “Fuck… you’re not giving me a break are you.” Letting out a sigh you closed your eyes for a moment. Since you were a child your knee had given you problems. A few dislocations, hospital visits, insteps, braces and physiotherapy. You’d had to grit your teeth hard through every physical training session during academy, but you’d made it. Fortunately for you it wasn’t something that many people would be able to notice or spot. You could run for miles with no problem; it was the recovery time in the days that followed that was tough. You knew it was getting worse, and had been reading about how much longer you might have before you’d need a full replacement, but you knew that it could jeopardise your job, you knew you’d likely not get put on the jobs that you wanted, and the thought of being put into the office answering calls made your heart sink.

And then you spotted it, the corner of another window was sticking out from under the others, exposing the corner of a third photograph. Instantly recognising the symbol you felt as though you were falling.

“What…”

Dragging the window and clicking it to full screen you could see this photograph clearly; some kind of mural, was it in stone? It looked as though there were four crests, family crests maybe. And at the centre; “Umbrella.” You breathed. You stared at it for several minutes and quickly took a photo of the screen on your camera, no point trying to get that old thing to work, you thought, looking at the printer at the other end of the desk. You couldn’t help but smirk, memories of Leon trying to print page after page of game walk throughs, whilst trying to find all the secrets in your favourite action/ adventure game, and laughing your head off at him, mouthful of noodles spilling back out into the carton as a hundred pages shot out at him, flying all over the room with cheat codes for a scantily dressed version of the playable character.

You looked at the clock again, time to go. If you were going to do this, you needed sleep and to get going as soon as you could the next day. It might drain your bank account, but it would be worth it. You didn’t have a good feeling about any of this, and more often than not, your gut instincts were right. Grabbing your R.P.D jacket at the door, you took one last glance at the room. It really did look like a whirlwind had hit it, not like Leon when he was in a better mental state at all. You knew that when he wasn’t his best he’d reach a for a drink and then some, but you could see that nothing was broken, and it was mostly clothes scattered, some bits of equipment and where he’d clearly got the luggage bag down from on top of the wardrobe. Nothing to worry about in regard to kidnap or a break in at least; as if that was enough to stop you from worrying about whatever lay ahead in this ‘Village’.

It started to rain just as you got into your apartment building, and you smiled. You’d always liked the rain. Stopping to quickly check your pigeon-hole for mail and seeing nothing you felt something press up against you calf, rubbing itself against the tops of your boots. You looked down and grinned, scooping up a slender, black cat in one hand and kissing the top of her head. “I’m going to miss you Boo, keep an eye on my mail for me while I’m gone, you know how crammed that thing gets.” You winked at her as you set her back down outside Mrs. Little’s door and fished a sandwich bag full of the leftover pizza anchovies out of your R.P.D. bag. “You didn’t think I’d forget you, did you?” Leaving Boo hastily munching into her treats you jogged up the stairs, your knee twinged, but it wasn’t too bad. It just had its moments.

Your apartment was pretty standard for this part of the city; both you and Leon had left Racoon city some time ago, though it wasn’t far from here. It had been destroyed and bordered off and that was all there was too it. You had to tell it to yourself that way to cope. Leon’s apartment was slightly swankier, but then again, he did like his gadgets and liked to keep things tidy, when his thoughts weren’t somewhere else. You on the other hand were happy to know that while everything had its place, sometimes that place would be on the floor… next to the thingy and nestled safely under a cereal box; and that was okay! You picked up the thingy, and looked at it fondly, before folding it up and putting it away with the others.

Stretching and yawning you looked around you, making a mental note of what needed to be done; pack, shower, sleep. You’d get the tickets the next day, and some money too, you’d have to stop off at the currency exchange. What currency did they even use there? Equipment, keep it simple; knives, pistol, rounds, lighter, fluid, compass, torch, camera, medi-kit. A couple of spare pairs of clothes, and you had your light armour that also fit into the case. You knew the contents would raise suspicion, but you had your badge, at the end of the day another cop had gone missing, and your team knew too.

You whipped off the remainder of your uniform and jumped in the shower, the bathroom filling up with steam and bubbles quickly and you sang along to a few songs on the radio. Wiping the mirror to see yourself more clearly you felt all your insecurities flood to you at once, as well as seeing yourself for the natural beauty that you were. You pursed your lips, staring into your own eyes and promised you’d find him safe and bring him back. He’d yell at you for going in the first place, but you knew this wasn’t right. Something wasn’t right. Traipsing out from the bathroom, you felt the cool air attack your flushed skin. You liked it, you were always a window open kind of person, no matter the weather, the fresh air just soothed you. Of course, that meant the odd moth now and again, like now as you heard the tiny body plummet time and time again against the spherical glass shade of the dim lamp besides your bed. Snuggling up into the loose blankets you smiled at the little creature and pulled the cord on the lamp, smiling again as you felt the moth settle on the side of your head.

After that you actually fell to sleep very quickly. It had been a long day after all; a 6AM start, patrol, arresting some juvies for petty crimes, followed by yet another zombie scare, (false alarm thank God), before filing up all the paper work and heading to Leon’s. Sleep fell like a veil of cool clouds, taking you in and raising you up into the inky blue skies of the night. The next thing you knew, you were butt naked in a dark green forest, dew drops shining on moss like a trillion tiny emeralds. Mist hung thick in the air, and thousands of tiny moths flew up from the ground? No. From you. You were raising your arms up to the skies, the moss covered forest floor moist under your bare feet and between your toes. Behind you the silhouette of a deer… antlers, but much, much taller. In front of you a pair of cold silver-gold eyes in the dark. You felt drawn, ever so drawn, taking one step forward, and then another, your arms coming down now, hands outstretched in caring caress, your heart swelled, your lips bloomed, taking in a short breath, and then; blood. Gushes of it, soaking into the moss, reddening Earth’s green carpet, and dripping down the trunks of the trees, the moths falling from the air around you, their wings sticking and stopping in the thick, red mess.

“Shit!” You fell back down onto your bed, several items around you also crashing down. Hand to your head, you looked wildly about. It happened again. Whatever had fallen this time had been heavy. You turned to see half the cutlery that had been lying on the kitchen tops now on the floor, and the knives and pistol that you’d placed earlier on top of the luggage bag were now in the middle of the floor. A sudden feeling of loneliness washed over you. The same dream, but longer, and this time with blood. “Shit” again, you put a hand to your pants, pulled the covers back and saw red. “Well, that’s one more thing I need to bring with me.” You mumbled, rolling your eyes, and throwing yourself back onto the bed.

A Wooly Surprise

Summary: Leon and Bede have a rivalry to determine which one of them has the best birthday gift for Clover. Little do they know, a little brown sheep has got them both beat!

Word Count: 1138

Author's Notes: I headcanon that Clover's birthday is on March 17th. To celebrate, here's the story on how she first met her beloved partner pokémon, a shiny Wooloo. I hope you enjoy reading it! I had a lot of fun writing it.

It was a warm spring day in Postwick. The front yard of Hop's childhood home was bustling with activity. Galar's Guardian Champion and Gigantamax Professor invited all their friends and family to celebrate their daughter's fifth birthday. Clover laughed happily as she played with Raihan's Flygon. Raihan took the opportunity to take photos of Clover and Flygon smiling. He was so preoccupied that he didn't notice Gloria standing right behind him.

"Raihan, you better not post any pictures of my daughter on social media or else I'll sick Zamazenta on you!" threatened Gloria.

"These pictures will stay in my phone's gallery. I promise that I won't post them! You have my word," said Raihan.

Gloria had a calmer demeanor once she was satisfied with the Hammerlocke Gym Leader's response. "Sorry about the threats. How about you send me those pictures of Clover and Flygon instead?" she asked.

"You got yourself a deal! I'll send them after the party's over. Don't worry Champ, I understand your outrage. All of Galar goes crazy for Clover. You just want to keep her away from the paparazzi," reassured Raihan.

"Thanks for understanding. I can't wait to see the pictures up close. Clover and Flygon are so cute together!" said Gloria.

Suddenly, loud shouting can be heard from inside the house. The League Chairman and Ballonlea Gym Leader were arguing amongst themselves.

"I'm going to check up on Leon and Bede. Watch over Clover for me!" instructed Gloria.

"You can count on me!" replied Raihan.

Gloria entered the front door and made her way to the living room. Upon arrival, she deduced that Leon and Bede had some sort of rivalry going on between them. She then decided to listen in on their conversation before getting herself involved.

"You sure are playing it too safe by getting Clover a life-sized Wooloo plush. A stuffed toy of her favourite Pokémon is such an obvious gift," scoffed Bede.

"Argh, c'mon! At least I got her a gift that's appropriate for her age! You gave her an encyclopedia!" argued Leon.

"It's a children's encyclopedia full of Pokémon facts! All of the text is written in simple sentences and there's a lot of colourful illustrations of every Pokémon," countered Bede.

The Ballonlea Gym Leader proceeded to relentlessly defend his gift for Clover. "I babysat Clover more often than you! She loves learning about all things Pokémon related. So, I thought why not give her a convenient source of information since she's too young to receive the Pokédex app," he said.

"Okay, I admit that's very thoughtful of you. However, I still got her the better gift!" stated Leon.

"No, you didn't! My gift is better than yours!" shouted Bede.

Bede and Leon continued their argument to the point where Gloria has had enough. She was about to intervene, but the sight of a shiny Wooloo tumbling down the stairs had stopped her from doing so. The Wooloo bleated happily as it rolled up to Gloria. Bede and Leon immediately stopped their arguing.

"The little brown sheep is better than both of our gifts. Truce?" declared Leon.

"Alright, truce," agreed Bede.

A few minutes later, Hop came running downstairs frantically looking for Wooloo. "Please tell that Wooloo didn't run outside!" pleaded Hop.

"Don't worry, Love. Wooloo is right here with me. Our surprise for Clover isn't ruined," reassured Gloria.

"Well, that's a relief," sighed Hop.

"Congrats on the successful shiny hunt!" exclaimed Leon.

"Thanks, Lee! This ewe just hatched last week. Two months of egg hatching finally paid off," laughed Hop.

"That's impressive! You and Gloria bred a shiny Wooloo for Clover. By the way, is your Dubwool the father?" asked Bede.

"No, my Dubwool isn't the father. Clover would've freaked out if Dubwool's away from home for such a long time. So, instead Gloria and I got help from Wooloo breeders all over Postwick, Wedgehurst and Turffield," explained Hop.

"Regardless, Clover is going to love Wooloo when she meets her," assumed Bede.

"I sure hope she does," said Hop.

"She definitely will!" reassured Leon.

All of a sudden, Raihan ran into the living room looking for Gloria. "Sorry for the interruption, but Clover's wondering when she'll get to open her presents. She's getting impatient," he said.

"Well, now's the perfect time to bring out the cake. C'mon everyone, let's go outside!" declared Gloria.

Leon, Raihan and Bede headed out as Hop returned Wooloo to its pokéball. Meanwhile, Gloria went into the kitchen to get the cake. She was the last one to leave the house. All the party guests have already gathered around the patio.

Clover blows out her candles and starts opening presents. She smiles happily after receiving Leon's Wooloo plush and Bede's Pokémon encyclopedia. After all of the presents have been opened, Hop and Gloria revealed their gift to Clover.

"A pokéball? What pokémon is inside it?" asked Clover.

It's a surprise! Say hello to your new friend," said Gloria.

Clover released the pokémon from its pokéball. The five year old girl gasped at the sight in front of her.

"A Wooloo for me?!?!"

She got on her knees to get a closer look at Wooloo. Clover hesitated for a while as she trys to figure out the Sheep Pokémon's gender. She makes an educated guess and proceeds to introduce herself.

"Hmm...hi girl! Nice to meet you! My name's Clover and I hope we become the best of friends."

Wooloo listened carefully to Clover's words. Then, the Sheep Pokémon leaned into the little girl's touch. Clover took this as a sign of Wooloo's trust and cradled the sheep in her arms.

"She's so fluffy! And she looks different than all the Wooloo I've played with. Daddy, is she a shiny?"

"Yes, she's a shiny," answered Hop.

"You and Mummy got me a shiny Wooloo! Thank you! This is the best birthday ever!" exclaimed Clover.

"You're welcome, baby. You deserve the best on your special day," said Hop.

Clover gently places Wooloo on the ground and gives both of her parents a big hug.

"You should give your Wooloo a nickname," suggested Gloria.

"Okay! I'll call her Wooly!" declared Clover.

At the sound of her new nickname, Wooloo gives off a bleat in affirmation.

"I think she likes her name! Welcome to the family Wooly," said Gloria.

"Yay! Let's go play together Wooly," cheered Clover.

During the rest of the party, Clover spends her time bonding with Wooly. At some point, they're seen relaxing together on the front porch. Clover happily reads facts out loud from her new encyclopedia while Wooly snuggles up against her trainer's life-sized Wooloo plush. Bede and Leon are proud to know that Clover appreciated both of their gifts. Raihan follows through with his promise and sends Gloria pictures of Clover playing with Flygon. At the end of the day, Hop and Gloria are happy that their daughter's fifth birthday party was an unforgettable experience.

The End.
