#the 3s is intentional thank you

[ultrainfinitepit]

I am so so so sorry to message you here about this because it's not really your issue but I'm unfortunately lost. I recently ordered from your Etsy, but the tracking says it arrived on the 12th...it definitely did not :( I don't want to go through Etsy because it's not your fault USPS lost my envelope, but I wondered if you had any advice for pursuing finding out where it actually got sent? Especially since the wolf knight pin I got is now sold out, it seems. Once again, I'm asking nothing of you other than if you have any tips for people with lost stuff. I feel like when I call the post office I'm just gonna hear "well we delivered it, sorry." I didn't send a message through Etsy because idk if that would somehow get your shop in trouble or something, possibly I worry too much

I love your pins and probably 2/3s of my collection are yours and I have every intention of continuing to purchase. I even got a few gifts for people this time around. I'm just really down about not getting them so I'm reaching out partially to feel like I'm doing something about it. Sorry to bother you and if this is annoying, no obligation to respond. Hope you're having a lovely evening <3

Hi there, I'm sorry to hear your package got lost. As a pin collector myself I know how disappointing and frustrating that can be, even more so if the pin is no longer available. In the future please feel free to reach out on Etsy, it doesn't hurt my shop if you message with a question there. Tumblr and other social media sites aren't very reliable when it comes to delivering messages, I've lost asks in my inbox or had messages hidden on Instagram and Twitter. That's just a blanket notice for anyone who might come across this later :))

If your package was not delivered and was marked delivered, here are the steps I would take:

Wait 48 hours - you have already done this but for anyone else in the same predicament, sometimes USPS marks the package delivered when it's really "out for delivery." I've had this happen a few times and the packages show up within two days.

Submit a missing mail search request - this sends a message to your post office telling them the package is missing and asking them to search for it. I've done this request a few times and had luck getting one package located this way.

Open a case on Etsy - Etsy's Purchase Protection Program has a caveat that if the package is marked delivered but was lost, and shipping was purchased through Etsy, they may cover the refund and the shop does not have to. Here's a guide on how to open a case. There are some risks to a shop if they have too many open cases, BUT I'd rather you get your money back than pay for pins and get nothing! So please do open that case. When people message me inquiring about lost packages I usually tell them to open a case for it. If you want you can send me a courtesy message ahead of time as a heads up. Etsy may ask me to provide input on the case and usually I point to the tracking saying the package is delivered. It's not a big deal at all, so again, please open a case.

Sometimes people don't want their money back and just want a replacement sent instead. If it's a small order I will sometimes do this, but the buyer has to pay for shipping again. For larger orders, I prefer you get a refund and repurchase because it can be costly for me to replace big orders.

Ideally you get your money back from the Etsy case, and from there you can repurchase your items if available. In this case the item is sold out, but I have seconds-grade Wolf Knight pins still if you want one of those. If you have your heart set on a standards-grade pin, you can wait until my stockists have them in stock or pick one of the alternate colorways - they should be restocked at the end of this month.

I hope this helps, and I hope your package is located. Thank you for your patience and for supporting my small business :))

New teachers at school!!

Chapter 6

God lesning ❤️

Y/N : Jungkook asked you out?!!!!

Y/B/F/N: No! He didn't 'ask me out' it's just like two friends going for a movie. A horror movie.

Y/N : Oh, you don't specify the gender before the word friend yet? But it's nice horror movies are the key to a successful relationship. Just remember to get scared a wee bit more!

She takes a moment understand but when she does she smacks your hand and starts laughing ; she was blushing, already!

Y/B/F/N: Shut up!!

Y/N : Don't you wish?

You say as you wiggle your brows.

Y/N : Anyways, I have a perfect dress for you!!!

Y/B/F/N: Really?!!!

Y/N : Mmhmm!

You say as you hand her a black knee length dress with a pair of black heels.

Then, you dragged her to the dressing table and made her sit down on the stool.

Y/N : Just sit here comfortably!

Y/B/F/N : But -

Y/N : Uhh-uh-huh! I don't want any but's and no's!

Y/B/F/N : Fine!

You do her makeup keeping it very natural and let her hair down loose in waves.

Y/N : You're looking amazing!

Y/B/F/N: Thank you, Y/N! You're a lifesaver!!!

Y/N : You're very welcome! I can assure you that now Jungkook will completely fall for you though I doubt he already had...

Y/B/F/N : Oh, come on!

Y/N : What?! That's just what I think! And I hope for a nice story about -

You got interrupted by a smack on your hand.

Y/N : Ow....

Beep beep

Your best friend's phone rings.

Y/B/F/N : It's him!!!I think he's here, he said that he will come to pick me.

Y/N : What are you waiting for?!!! Pick up the damn call!!!!!!

Y/B/F/N : Y-Yeah right!

Then you both said your goodbyes and you wished her luck.

Once she was downstairs she saw Jungkook sitting in his black Mercedes Benz GT 6 3S. As he saw his to be girlfriend (as Y/N calls it though his intentions are pure but you know..) he immediately gets out of the car.

Jungkook : Annyeonghaseyo!

Y/B/F/N : Annyeong!

Jungkook : You're looking awesome, dear!

Y/B/F/N : Thanks! You don't look any less, professor!

Jungkook : Thanks!

He opened the car door for her to get in and then went to his side and sat on the driver's seat.

The ride was cool.

*In the theater (45min into the movie) *

She was sitting beside Jungkook with a bucket of popcorn in his hand and two glasses of coke in each cup holder , when a terrifying scenes pops up. Your best friend was quite literally clinging to Jungkook's arm.

He chuckles.

A few minutes late a disgustingly scary face appears on the screen. She had her face buried in his arm while one of his arms was covering her eyes. She was blushing hard.

Jungkook : It's over...

He said referring to that particular scene. She opened one eye to peak at the screen before completely opening her eyes and sitting straight.

Y/B/F/N : I-I'm sorry

She said looking at her lap.

Jungkook : Hey...

He linked one of his fingers below her chin so as to make her look at him in the eye .

Jungkook : It's completely okay you don't need to be embarrassed about it. It's a horror movie and it's quiet natural to be scared while watching it.

Y/B/F/N : Thank you so much, Kook!

*After the movie*

Jungkook took her to a fancy restaurant for dinner.

Jungkook : What would you like for dinner, my dear?

Y/B/F/N : I'll take a pizza with extra cheese, thanks!

Jungkook : Sure!

After that he placed the order of two medium pizzas and a bottle of wine.

[ both the reader and her best friend are 18+(mentioned just for the sake of drinking nothing else😏😏) ]

Jungkook and your best friend were sitting in front of each other and his knees were brushing against hers. Goosebumps were rising on her skin sitting so close to her professor/crush/ friend.

*After the dinner *

Both of them were still sitting on the table when he held her eyes below the table. She looked at him, confused.

Y/B/F/N:What -

She was cut off with his lips on her's. She kissed him back. But then he pulled back.

Jungkook : I-I'm sorry. I'm probably drunk.......

Y/B/F/N : It's fine!

She said before kissing him again, this time it was full of emotions.

*Back at the apartment *

It was 8:45 pm and as you were bored as hell you decided to go to the nearest club . You wore a short dark green dress and gold sandals

Knock Knock

You opened the door and saw Y/B/F/N standing there.

Y/N : Heyyyy!!!!

Y/B/F/N : Hiiiii!!!

Y/N : How did it go?!

Y/B/F/N : It was more than amazing!

Y/N : You kissed?!

Y/B/F/N : How do you know?!!

Y/N : Your happiness!

You both chuckle.

Y/B/F/N : Going somewhere?

Y/N : To the club! Wanna join?

Y/B/F/N : Have fun! And no, I am really tired!

You both laugh

Y/N : Byee

Y/B/F/N : Byeeee

*In the club *

You were sitting on one of the barstools when a guy came to you. He was looking good, to be honest but obviously not as much as Tom.

The guy : Hello!

Y/N : Hi!

The guy : I'm Matthew, nice to meet you!

Y/N : Y/N, same here!

Matthew : Would you mind a dance?

[duxbelisarius]

I haven't read all of ur F&B analyses, but I'm really liking them. You clearly put a lot of thought into them and I love this staunch military/logistics angle you take on what IMO is more a symbolic string of incidents than any of the former. Doesn't make ur additions any less valuable!

Do you have any estimate of when Baela vs Aegon II might've taken place? All we get from f&b is 130AC, just before dawn. I presume it can't be much before the fall of KL which can't be much before Rhaenyra's death on the 22nd day of the 10th moon of 130AC. This is also my gripe with the theory that Helaena and Aemond died on the same day. I do think the show is setting up a relationship between the two, and I'm not sure how not dying on the same day would disapprove the clear tension between Aemond/Helaena/Aegon, but I digress LOL.

Aemond died in 22/05 with Daemon, there are 5 months between that and Rhaenyra's death in 22/10 (which logically can't be much after the fall of KL), unless Helaena did die in 22/05 parallel to Ameond's death, and somehow it A) did not trigger the fall of KL or B) it did trigger the fall of KL, but it did indeed take Rhaenyra 5 months to get from KL thru Rosby, Stokeworth, and Duskendale. She is said to grow grey and hagged.

From the dates we do get, and assuming the fall of KL was only a few days/weeks before Rhaenyra's death in 22/10, it is more likely Haelaena and Aegon II fell/jumped at the same time, with Helaena dying, and Aegon shattering his knees. "We have nothing in common." exposed for the fraudulent line it is, just as 10yo Aemond grumbling about purebred valyrian babies is flipped on it's head when he has a child with a Strong bastard.

Most of this is dependent on how long it took Rhaenyra to get to Dragonstone. I'm frankly not sure why she would remain close to KL for 5 months when she just got toppled, but it is a possibility

(To be honest, I don't recall the particularities of what happened after Rhaenyra's death, or any clear dates, except that for more than a moon KL was having its Moon of Madness, followed by Aegon's Sad, Short Reign for a few months, then his dying somewhen in early 131 AC, shortly after the news of Borros' death.)

To sum it up, I think the shippers are not at fault for reading intention into GRRMs work that Helaena and Aemond are implied to die on the same day because the man might as well have done so but fumbled the dates, or actually very much have written Rhaenyra to be taking 5 months to get to Dragonstone. At the same time I believe you can much more feasiblly read Aegon/Helaena parallel inccidents into the events, supported by logistics, symbolism and themes.

It could go either way.

A, or The Short Sad Flight of Rhaenyra: 22/05: Daemon and Aemond die. a few days/weeks (most likely 3, GRRM loves his 3s) prior to 22/10: Helaena dies, Joffrey dies, fall of KL, Baela vs Aegon II, Rhaenyra's short flight to Dragonstone. 22/10: Rhaenyra dies.

B, or The Not so Short but Equally as Sad Flight of Rhaenyra: 22/05: Daemond and Aemond die. Helaena dies, Joffrey dies, fall of KL. (u can insert Baela vs Aegon II here, making it a triple targtower fall LOL) post 22/05: Rhaenyra's long flight to Dragonstone (or insert Baela vs Aegon II here) 22/10: Rhaenyra's dies.

For HotD, you have to consider the episode's capacity. I fear Battle Above Godseye + Fall of KL & all its deaths (+Baela vs Aegon II) might be wayyy too packed, but who knows. It could go either way: divorced lovers (Daemon/Rhaenyra) and unconsummated lovers (Aemond/Helaena) brought to ruin at the same time in the same Episode. Or go with forced sibling-marrieds (Aegon/Helaena) and monarchs (Aegon/Rhaenyra) (+ gender breaking women (Rhaenyra/Baela) + Visery's daughters (Rhaenyra/Helaena)) brought to ruins on the same day in the same episodes.

And Oh man I did not even consider the mess at Tumbletown. I sure would love me some concrete DATES.

Thanks for the question Nonny, and your insightful analyses! I haven't finished Part 12 yet, which is going to deal with the final events of the Dance up until the Hour of the Wolf (Cregan Stark and his Army of Cringelords have had it too good for too long).

With regards to when Dragonstone falls, the text seems to indicate that it took place simultaneous to the Riots. Gyldan's narrative places the arrival of Tom Tangletongue's "cousin" on Dragonstone just prior to Rhaenyra ordering the arrest of Addam Velaryon. The death of the Grey Ghost likely happens some time before, and so I'd put the fall of Dragonstone at some time during the Riots themselves, as this would reduce the potential for Velaryon intervention AND hide Sunfyre's presence from the rest of the dragons (though based on Tumbleton, George seems to pick and choose when dragons can detect the presence of other dragons). We also have to remember that the Riots and the capture of Dragonstone were all planned by Larys Strong, so I imagine he would have had both events take place simultaneously, to truly isolate Rhaenyra.

As for what happens next, the Distance Map I use indicates that it would take a week to reach Duskendale from KL; allowing for her stops at Rosby and Stokeworth, it should have taken her 8 or 9 days, meaning she reached Duskendale around the time of the Battle over the God's Eye. Since it only took her a short boat ride to get to Dragonstone after that, my guess is that George just has her sit there for 4 or 5 months. She did send ravens to the Eyrie and Winterfell while staying with the Darklyns, so it makes sense she would spend a few weeks there, but I really can't see anything else in George's choices here other than him running out the clock to take time away from Aegon. Even with his stupid new injuries from LEAPING 20 FEET OFF HIS DRAGON AND LANDING FEET FIRST (cripes George, he should be PARALYZED or DEAD my guy!!!), the fact that Aegon loses an entire half year makes no sense except for George's story aims. Aegon's reign must be short and sad; if the King had half a year more, then Unwin Peake could probably raise another army with or without Lyonel's help, and that would be more time for sellswords to reach him from Essos.

We know for certain from the text that Sunfyre dies on December 9th, and Aegon returns to KL by the end of the year; Aegon III and Jaehaera are married on July 7th, the 7th day of the 7th Moon, 131 AC, ending the Dance. So Aegon only gets half a year, because giving him a full year or close to it would open up options for him that don't fit George's desired ending, so he has Aeg and Rhae waste time at Dragonstone and Duskendale respectively.

The issue with Tumbleton is that Caltrops hear of the unrest in KL well before the death of Aemond. Even if we allow for distance and the mysterious nature of Aemond's death initially, that they received news "belatedly" suggests it happened well after the Riots began in KL.

Hi, thank you for all the readings. Can you do a love reading for Le Sserafim please ^^?

Disclaimer: Take this with a grain of salt, energy constantly shifts. I'm not an expert and interpretations could not be the most correct, it's for entertainment purposes. Reading done 17/04.

Sakura (page wands - queen pentacles rev. - 9p rev. - hermit rev.)

She is single, some casuals here and there, and nothing really fulfilling for her or stable for the future. She doesn't hit the nail with a good partner, needs to heal and know herself more.

Chaewon (page swords rev. - queen wands rev. - 3s - 9s rev)

She is single, looks like her last love interest really hurt her, they weren't on the same page and some feelings weren't honest. She is still wary of people that want something with her, but she is giving herself time and slowly leaving the heartbroken feelings aside.

Yunjin (World rev. - 8s - 4p)

Not really a lot going on in this department, she is not trying to meet people nor has intentions to date, at least for the time being. Could be something regarding a past experience that she needs to let go

Kazuha (4p - 9p rev. - temperance rev. - ace cups)

Looks like she is dating, quite new to the issue, but is not in the best place this relationship. There is an imbalance, they are not on the same page and they might want different things. Unfortunately, it feels like one of them is more like "Yeah, I'm dating this person" more as a trophy or victory instead of dating because of feelings.

Dezelenski rollerskated up to us to let us know he was closing up the Musee Mecanique for the night and to make our way out. We said thank you, we had a wonderful night and to enjoy the full moon. Right before exiting I noticed this machine had a quarter in it, unplayed. Amusing. So of course I pushed the quarter slot in with my heart’s deepest intention, same way I focus when I’m pulling a tarot card. And all the dice rolled to 5s, and 2s, and 3s. My birthday is 5-23, so I was doubly amused. To receive a fortune you add all the numbers together, all six dice added up to 23, my lucky number, my birthday, the Gregorian year we just entered.. all of it just triple amusing. I’m feeling very fortunate and grateful, magic is returning to me. Lest I never forget I’ve got lucky carni blood running thru my veins lol. 🧄 Lucky 23

hello syb how r u !! i love looking at the posts you put into your original writing tag. is there anything about your original writing you'd like to talk about? setting(s) or ocs or something?

Hiiii shoop what a sweet ask and question! Thank you!

I'll be real here, the "original writing inspiration" tag is more of a "saved" list than anything else-- no particular story attached to them, I just fancy that someday I'll want to Write Something and if I don't have an idea I'll look through those for vibes. The images or quotes are ones that I feel could be attached to a story, if I was sifting through them with a creative eye. It might just be scratching a scavenger's itch though, I've never actually gone through them with the intention to come up with something new.

Stuff for original writing though, if it's got a concrete character or vague-ish vibes, it probably has its own tag! Most of the time they skate off inspiration from a fanfiction or an OC from a fanfiction that really gains their own life. For instance #braided with a knife I started because I kept thinking about the Okada/Jay dynamic that I liked so much, but I had nothing else to say about in kayfabe canon for (I really liked where my friend left the fic with her sequel :") ).

Another one I recently was poking at again was #stripped to the teeth (link goes to my cowboys blog since the original idea was from a cowboys fanfiction). I named one of the lead characters Medea Horsewhip the other day -- she picked the name herself since she's a bit of a mythology nerd (and a bit extra). She's a ruthless outlaw / bank robber, but at the start of the story finds herself in a weird situation where due to Weird West shenanigans, she's a ghost inhabiting the body of a kind of rival-lover-ish >:)

Original writing is tough for me, I'll admit! I had the best run with writing Ambergris, a novel I got 2/3s of the way through. I had to pause on it first due to pandemic, and then due to personal reasons. I kind of want to rework the climax and ending but I'm not sure where to start. It's tough because it's very easy to write in community for fanfiction, and that's a big motivator for me. I like to share and co-create. So I've been thinking if I want to get back into that, I actually was thinking about whether I should look into a library writing group today!

An interesting hot take...I do think they considered some of the backlash to 3s karma system being very tonally jarring at times, but fnv's spin on the idea was well done enough that I personally would have preferred they used that system, of having a reputation with different groups rather than a Bad-Good sliding scale. Personally, I'd rather they go Fo4s route of no action-tracking than how they handled it in 3, which I found very narrow minded.

I think- and I'm totally not arguing with you, I'm just rambling rn - that Fo4 has a both sides approach to every faction, where the Institute wants to stabilize the wasteland, the Brotherhood wants to protect the wasteland from further scientific fuckery, and the Railroad wants to protect the people in the crossfire of both of those goals. It's just...the bos was controversial anyway, the Institute is stupid if you're not digging through the small shit to try and make sense of their purpose, and the Railroad is so obviously of pure intentions and mostly harmless methods thst you can't really argue against them.

Like. The Railroad doesn't really have any moral problems beyond "what robots do we save, and should we save...yknow...other humans?" But the BoS and Institute are giant crock pots of stewing issues that never get addressed or resolved in an interesting way.

I'm gonna have to make a new post abt this, you've given me brain worms...thank you but also how dare

Natural gifts of the enneagram types

Hello Charity <3

People frequently talk about the negative aspects of the 9 enneagram types, which is the only way people grow and improve, but I think it would be helpful to talk about some of the positive traits of the types. What do you think are the natural gifts of each type? I think each enneagram type has something valuable and special to offer the world. ~ Thank you!

P.S. Type 9s are awesome. I don't know why they are seen as too boring and not special. One of my friends is a 9 and she is adorable and precious! (I mean that with all the love in the world.)

Sure!

9s -- open-minded and non-judgmental, able to see equality in every argument and often they lack the desire to 'change' others, but will accept them for who they are without hesitation.

8s -- strong-willed and willing to stand up for what they believe or feel is right, without feeling intimidated by other people (even powerful ones), a tendency to protect those weaker than themselves through proactive decisions.

7s -- always can find the silver lining, keep things light for other people, full of wild fun, enthusiasm, and able to find a way to make anyone feel good and/or learn something through taking a positive stance on it (inspiration through happiness and creativity).

6s -- hard-working, devoted to their loved ones, and fiercely loyal to the things they care about the most, always seeking the truth and willing to dig into things and expose the heart of them, cautious and determined to keep their loved ones safe from harm.

5s -- single-minded and intentional, deep in how they dig down into things, totally objective (rarely allowing personal feelings to get in the way of an unflinching analysis), independent and creative, often able to give insights other types cannot through intensive thought.

4s -- don't shy away from experiencing the full range of emotions and giving each weight, which means they go 'deeper' than many of the other types in terms of emotional rawness and feeling everything life has to offer (they are able to sit with pain without hurrying it along, and provide others a space to do the same), able to focus on and bring forth the uniqueness of their creativity, or plum the hidden depths of things.

3s -- polished, smooth, and professional individuals who can shape themselves into whatever is necessary, who easily make other people like them for their charming personality, but who are also not easily defeated by failure, who look on the bright side of life, and who are proactive in going after the life they want, even if it requires self-sacrifice and working long hours.

2s -- generous, warm-hearted, and giving people who identify what needs done and do it for their loved ones, protective and eager in their desire to inspire, impart wisdom, and love people even if they disappoint them with their imperfections, and who never let an opportunity pass to encourage and inspire others to greatness.

1s -- see the world in a more idealized state and want to make it happen, pushing themselves and others to embrace what 'could be' and what would make life in some way better for everyone involved; hard-working, dutiful, and persistent in their efforts to improve life while also holding themselves to a high personal standard.

PS: I'm not sure who thinks 9s are boring, but they are not. They are one of the most varied and lovable types in existence. Not to mention most fantasy authors are 9s. It doesn't get much more interesting than creating entire worlds for characters to inhabit, does it? ;)

☆ i made plantable paper using seeds i gathered myself. my last video on handmade paper, which you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGAvv... was well recieved. but i would like to undescore the fact that i am not a professional handmade paper maker and this video is a craft vlog tutorial.

as this is a vlog - this is my ever first time making plantable handmade paper, so I've included the tiny hiccups along the process so you can learn from my mistakes too! here is a summary of important notes to take note of:

1/ NUMBER OF SEEDS. Each card has about 10-15 seeds. I spread them out two ways. The first, and shown on the video, in bigger groups or clumps. In a second batch of cards, I spread them out around the sheet in groups of 2s and 3s. You can manually put them on each sheet as i did on the video. But I suggest if you have more seeds to spread around or are making these is smaller batches you can directly mix it in the pulp solution.

2/ SIZING. Paper internal sizing, and most hand papermakers use a chemical called 'alkyl ketene dimer', which protects and coats each fiber. This essentially makes your paper writable. I'm not sure if this will affect the seeds in any way, but as you will see in the video, I did not use such chemical and I was able to write on and stamp on ink on the sheet with zero bleeding. This can be also attributed to the fact that the paper I used to make the pulp already has has sizing.

3/ MOULD & DECKLE. I had the mould and deckle custom made this time to the size that I want. It is a wooden frame. Unlike my first video where I used an improvised one, a silk screen, this custom made one I use in the video uses a metal mesh. And the metal mesh lifts much easier compared to the silk screen one.

4/ THICKNESS OF SHEET. As I mentioned, my intention behind making this paper is turn them into tags. In order to adjust thickness of the sheet I've found that adding more water in the basin helps. Just to let you know, thinner paper sheets are more prone to tears or gaps.

5/ TECHNICAL REFERENCES. If you are after exact instructions, here are the references that I found most useful:

https://www.naturesseed.com/blog/how-...

https://climatekids.nasa.gov/seed-paper/

https://www.abc.net.au/gardening/fact...

6/ WILL THE SEEDS GROW? I've read online that seeds have an 80% chance of germinating depending on environmental conditions. When these conditions are met, once plant the seeds have a pretty good chance of growing.

I Want to Write a Mikayuu Series

Okay.

So um.

If you're reading this, HELLO. All of you long time ONS fans probably don't know me, but I'm Alison and I'm a hardcore Mikayuu, Mitsunoa, Gureshin, etc shipper. I've been in the ONS fandom for almost a year and dear god. The amount of people telling me that Mikayuu is queerbait is just making me really sad 😅 I'm a writer, and I'm the type of person who honestly feels like the author of a series should have the ability to choose how a story ends without influence of their readers. I mean, if it's their story, then it should be their ending, right? However, I also do have some qualms when it comes to how this "love triangle" between Yu, Mika, and Shinoa is being portrayed. This is entirely my personal opinion, but I feel like Shinoa seems to be forcing herself to love Yu. I honestly don't think she cares for him in a romantic way, but more of a very deep-rooted admiration or even envy that she's trying to convince herself to be romantic love. And Yu has said multiple times that he values Mika's life above his own, that he doesn't know what he would do without him if he were to die again (I mean the fact that he suffered seeing his best friend and potential lover die a first time was definitely scarring enough, PLEASE STOP TORTURING OUR POOR BABIES). And it's basically confirmed by now that when Mika said I love you in the manga, it was in the romantic sense. Even though I wish, I hope, I dream, and I pray that Mikayuu will become canon, I honestly can't say for certain what I think will happen. I think it could sway any way, with Mikayuu becoming canon, Yu and Shinoa becoming canon, or it being one of those ambiguous endings where it's heavily implied but nothing actually happens. And in order to make myself feel better when stuff like this happens, I tend to rewrite the entire story with the ending that I would have liked to see ;)

You're probably wondering where the hell this stranger is going with this. Well, I want to write a book. A series, actually.

One that's inspired by Seraph of the End.

Now, if you're interested in hearing me out, then feel free to keep reading. But if not, continue on with your scrolling, no hard feelings. But if you do, and I really hope that you do, give me a chance to explain.

I want to write a series inspired by Seraph of the End called Bloodsucker (working title, obviously). And this series is going to be a reimagination of ONS with an ending that I would have loved to see in the anime and manga. I plan to have three main characters (please keep in mind that I'm going to have name changes): Yuichiro, Mikaela, and a brand new character, Epic.

Now, I would begin this series a bit before the anime and I'm assuming the manga begins. I'd start with introducing our main three characters as they meet in the orphanage (yes, Epic would be a part of this orphanage as well) and how Epic and Yu try to make moves to run away only to be stopped by Mika and Akane.

I plan to include a scene between Epic and Akane where Epic tries to run out in the middle of the night only to be stopped by Akane, and this is what caused Epic to develop a crush on her (Epic is a girl btw). Then I would begin the whole shit with the vampires and how they set the world on fire and shit, but instead of the apocolypse, I'd make it so that most of the adults died in the fire while the kids were taken alive (because young blood is better and whatnot). This includes our little Hyakuya family. The directors would have tried to trade the kids lives for their own, and due to their selfishness, the vamps killed them and took the kids anyway.

This would begin my first story arc: the prewar.

Epic, Akane, Mika, and Yu would all be living under the vampires at this point along with the rest of the kids in their orphanage. I plan to include lots of moments of bonding that heavily imply Epic loves Akane even though she doesn't know it yet and Mika loves Yu, but Yu is fucking oblivious. The four begin to plot their escape, but while Mika and Akane (yes Akane too) are making deals with the vampires to help out with their family, Epic is constantly finding herself getting dragged along to visit Queen Krul. The pink haired vamp has a soft spot for her for some reason and often tells her that Epic and her family are "special" or sum shit. And she's super confused and semi grossed out. But none of the vamps ever dare to hurt her so she thinks it's fine. Then one day they all plot their escape and it's much more planned out and lengthy and less rushed than it is in the anime. Things almost seem to work out until the vampires stop them

And Mika and Akane DIE.

I know. I'm horrid.

Epic is standing here in shock as she watches the love of her life die before her and Mika BEGS for Yu to take Epic and run while they can. So while in the series only Yu survives, he obeys Mika and both him and Epic survive this. They're found by Guren (a new character I haven't come up with yet lol) and Yu is super protective over Epic, not wanting anyone to take the only piece of his family he has left (he's a fucking mess without Mika let's just be honest) and Guren ends up taking them under his wing.

Now we hit the second arc. Still with me?

The War.

Hold onto your hats everyone because this is where shit is about to get complicated. So I do plan to have a bit of a time skip into the current spot where Yu and Epic are attending school with Guren as their father figure and they've become very close. So close that Yu refuses to work with anyone else but her. They end up getting onto Shinoa Squad (obviously going to be completely different in my version) and they get put onto the battlefield. But here's the catch. Well, two catches.

Yu and Epic do have demon weapons. I do plan to try to incorporate that into this. BUT the backstory is different. I plan to make it so that the vampires obviously see the humans as fies. Insignificant things that are more playthings than threats. And they didn't want to have to deal with killing all of them, so they sent demons in their place to handle it. But the humans were able to form deals or "contracts" with the demons and therefore turned the vampires' own secret weapon against them.

Now, catch no. 2

So, Epic, Mika, and Yu aren't seraphs in this. But they are something else. I'm going to try to explain this as simply as I can, but each of them (besides Mika since he doesn't have a demon) have 3 souls inside their body:

Soul 1 is their current soul, the one that identifies as Mika or Epic or Yu.

Soul 2 is their demon soul, like what Asuramaru is to Yu.

And soul 3 is their archangel soul (I might change that name later on).

So I'm just going to come right out and say it. In this series, Epic is the villain.

Yes.

You read that right.

Epic is the villain. But she doesn't know that she is. These Soul 3s were reincarnated into the current bodies of Mika, Epic, and Ari (and I know that's not exactly how it works but screw logic this is just a fucking concept) from their lives centuries ago.

These souls existed way before vampires existed and Epic (or Essie) was very close friends with Yu (or Aytigin). Aytigin was in love with Haru (Mika) but for one reason or another, they couldn't be together. Essie wanted to do something, willing to do anything to make the two of them happy. So she made a deal that brought the vampires into creation so that Haru and Aytigin could be happy. She was willing to sacrifice everything that they stood for so that the two of them could be in love together.

She had good intentions, but of course Haru and Aytigin were furious because now the vampires were turning against the humans and they all basically died. Until they were reborn respectively, but unknowingly.

Now picking back up in the present, Yu and Epic are fighting in one of the main battles and the two are very confused when the vampires make a very deliberate attempt not to hurt Epic. They're unsure as to why, but Guren tells them not to worry about it.

Suspicious bastard.

Anyway, it's revealed finally that MIKA IS ALIVE

BUT HE'S ALSO DEAD

Yes he is a vampire. And Yu falls in love all over again upon seeing him, and after a bunch of struggling, Epic gets kidnapped. At first she gets strangled by Lacus and then she gets kidnapped by Ferid who doesn't kill her surprisingly.

Oh and uh... Ferid is nice in this. He's still a fucking creep, but he's a lot nicer than he is in the series. I plan to make Queen Krul or whoever I turn her into be the villain.

Anyway, they take Epic back to the vampire palace or whatever and Queen Krul and Epic are reunited! And Krul is the one who reveals to Epic exactly who she, Mika, and Yu are and this is what sparks Epic's fall to insanity.

I mean, she's the killer. She's the one who brought them into this world. She's responsible for every death the vampires cause.

I would go crazy too.

So, she manages to escape (partially thanks to Mika) and the two join Yu and the others again and it's revealed a second time exactly what is going on. And while no one actually blames Epic on the Shinoa Squad, that doesn't stop people like Kureto and even herself from blaming.

And this causes her demon to go haywire.

She begins losing her marbles, almost killing her teammates and trying to kill herself, all while the three begin to experience dreams or visions of their Soul 3s.

While all this shit is going on, there's heavy romance between Mika and Yu because these two lovers just got reunited and FUCK did they have glow ups but yes -

Oh. And there is another spark for Epic, even though she doesn't think she's worthy of love.

Okay. I'm just gonna say it.

Lacus falls in love with Epic. Yes. You read that correctly too.

I plan to make the two of them get trapped together at some point and they have to work together to escape. It's during this time that Epic realizes he's not all that bad and has some form of self control and he realizes that she's the most interesting thing he's ever met in this disgusting and boring life and damn do her eyes look pretty-

But yes. She forms a permanent alliance with him that he jokes about as marriage and they meet on other occassions too, but lol yes.

Anyway, blah blah blah, more fall to insanity, the Soul 3s take over their bodies on multiple occasions and there's a lot of bonding and fighting and Epic and Mika somehow manage to get some of the vampires on the human side.

And in the end, Epic and Yu basically sacifice themselves to save the human race and kill Queen Krul. It's a very rough ending I haven't quite perfected yet, but Yu has a moment like he did with the King of Salt. But though he inflicted a lot of damage, it's not enough. So while the team is worried about him, Epic takes this opportunity to fix her and Essie's mistakes.

She allows both Essie and her demon to take control of her body and dies on the battlefield. Queen Krul is eliminated. Most of the vampires are gone. The humans won.

Horray.

Epic is dead.

Kinda. Yu and Mika take her back home and this is the preview to the last arc where everyone's in the hospital and Epic's in a coma. Mika and Yu barely ever leave her side and it's only when Lacus of all people comes to visit that she fucking wakes up.

Okay. Are you still with me? Now come with me to the final arc.

The Post-War.

No my friend. It doesn't end there. Because Mika and Lacus are still vamps and life still sucks and I drank too much coffee this morning.

No it's not over yet.

So flash forward a couple years and Kureto and Crew are working as the heads of this city. Stuff is being rebuilt, people are settling down in homes, Lacus and some of the other "good" vampires find jobs, and Mika, Yu, and Epic get a house together (in case I didn't mention before, Epic is pansexual. She loved Akane dearly and I plan to include scenes where she sees her in her mind and dreams like Mikayuu so she's never truly gone, but she falls for Lacus too when he's not being a sadistic asshole). Things are going strangely when

BAM. Epic and Yu come up with a cure for vampirism.

How, you may ask? I don't fucking know, I haven't read about it in the manga yet but before we come up with an idea for it, imma say they came up with it through a spell. They share their findings with Guren and soon all vampires are being cured, most notably Mika, Lacus, and even Rene.

BUT and there's always a but, Kureto passes a new law claiming all vampires to be property. That any vampire or previous vampire or even vampire supporter/owner that tries to disobey these new laws is to be killed immediately. Now Epic and Yu are in jeopardy because their ex-vampires are in danger (Epic and Lacus have been hanging out a lot more and he's proven himself to be a decent guy. Contrary to popular belief, I headcanon him as not really knowing what to do when he actually cares about someone since he's been a heartless vamp for so long. So when he turns to Mika and begrudgingly asks him for LOVE ADVICE of all fucking things, Mika is ready to die). So basically, Mika and Lacus end up getting locked up along with the other ex-vamps (including Ferid which was a pain in the ass) and did I forget to mention that there's a proposal?

Oh yeah, Yu proposes to Mika and the blond still has yet to give him an actual answer because poor baby is still having a hard time accepting that Yu can love a "monster" like him.

But anyways, now Epic and Yu are furious and SHINOA SQUAD IS BACK IN BUSINESS. With the help of Guren and Shinya and everyone, they form a sort of rebellion and blah blah blah they manage to get Mika and Lacus and everyone out and blah blah blah they all get separated and Lacus begins to get INSANELY protective of Epic and ends up confessing his feelings to her before he nearly dies and blah blah blah did I forget to mention that I'm making Mitsunnoa and Kimizuki x Yoichi canon and blah blah blah.

Epic kisses Lacus as an instinct. Lacus kisses her again. Mika accepts Yu's proposal then almost dies AGAIN. I kill off some characters for emotional tugs and after a ton of more fighting and revenge and psychological breakings later, Kureto is killed. And Guren (or someone else haven't decided yet) is the new head of their city.

Epic, Mika, and Yu finally let Akane and the kids go. There's a lot of Shinoa Squad bonding but this is a summary so I haven't included much besides the main three. Epic and Lacus becomes canon. Mika and Yu get married. Guren and Shinya get married. Shinoa gets pregnant.

And everyone gets the FUCKING HAPPY ENDING THAT THEY ALL FUCKING DESERVE BECAUSE FUCK

I do plan to be slightly ruthless like the creator and include a lot of heartbreaking scenes, but it's going to be much different than ONS but I still want it to hold on to some core relationships.

I just want them to be happy. And I just want to make other people happy because fuck I JUST WANT TO BE HAPPY

So. Yeah.

That's Bloodsucker...

So my question to you is... if I wrote this shit.

If I sat down and typed about 30 books roughly inspired by Seraph of the End and Mikayuu and Mitsunnoa and shit...

Would anyone read it?

Once Upon a Fantasy

Invitation to The Mystic Dance hosted by @little-butterfly-writes here

This was so much fun to do! Thank you for having me :3 I started writing and the story just took on a life of its own resulting in my longest piece yet ^^;

I know I don’t usually write OCs, but this story centers around Vanderwood and my CMC Ao (though Saeyoung also features a bit). The setting is supposed to be in an older time, but I have no sense of history’s fashions, technologies, and music, so please just consider this either a fantasy world or some hodgepodged amalgamation of decades/centuries

Hope you enjoy! ^ w ^

Lengthened shadows flickered about the fringes of paper, the glow of lantern flame warm yet small in the dawn of night. Said paper was of fine quality but wanting in splendor next to the companion twould respond. The clinking of metal nib against glass dotted silence, followed by the soft scratch of pen on the paper’s surface.

Dear Mister Vanderwood,

the letter began, each character drawn slow and exact, crafted with as much precision their writer could muster. Before her leaned a slate, smudged with chalk and the scribbles of drafted note from which she now copied. Ao much preferred the flow of ink on parchment to the drag of chalk on rock, but paper cost a pretty penny and could not be wasted on the idle ramblings of initial thoughts, so the slate had done until she knew precisely what she would write. She only wished she knew where to send her letters instead of waiting for Saeyoung to take and deliver them; but no matter, such were simply the ways of the rich, she supposed.

Glancing at the box upon her shelf, she wondered when she might receive another letter from the gentleman.

~*~

He came the week the invitations were delivered. Town abuzz and bursting with excitement for the Mint Palace Ball, Ao had nary a hope she might see Saeyoung’s companion once more before the festivities began, yet he had appeared at her door in lieu of his friend.

“Saeyoung’s busy with the dance, then?” Ao questioned, pouring two cups of coffee. “Couldn’t escape with you?”

“He’s under extra watch after sneaking away too many times.” Vanderwood responded.

Ao flinched, had it been her fault? Vanderwood must have noticed for-

“He likes to skip his tasks to play with the town’s strays,” he explained, sipping from the cup she handed him. Ao smiled, where once Vanderwood had hesitated to drink, now he waited no longer.

Taking her own sip, Ao mulled over Vanderwood’s recent tidings. Saeyoung would be unable to visit until after the dance -her cats would be displeased at that for he always brought them delightful treats- and she would be unable to send any letters. A shame, but she understood and selfish she should not be. Not now, for if Saeyoung was busy, then surely her guest must also be, yet he was spending time here, with her.

“Vanderwood,” she began, trying to keep her tone light, “is it really ok to be here? Surely, you must be busy, too.”

At this he grinned, and for the briefest of moments, Ao felt her heart stop.

“Whose work do you think Saeyoung is doing?”

She blinked, answer unexpected. Then, slowly, his words sunk in and Ao, too, began to smile. Then giggle. Then could not help but laugh alongside him, tears dotting the corners of their eyes. Through Vanderwood’s letters and his own boasts, Ao knew that Saeyoung -their energetic, brilliant, rapscallion of a friend- had a habit of absconding to destinations unnamed and, though she knew not what it might be, forcing Vanderwood to do their work instead. How appropriate, then, that Vanderwood act in kind for the busiest event of the year. They both knew Saeyoung would not learn his lesson.

As the laughter lulled and soft silence settled betwixt them, Ao could not help but admire her friend- the ease of his countenance; his acceptance of her “tiny beasts” pawing at his sides -creatures she and Saeyoung adored but he was not particularly fond; the divide between his conversations both oral and written -the former dictated by necessity, the latter far more relaxed. Upon their first meeting, Ao had found Vanderwood to be terse and intimidating, despite Saeyoung’s introduction, but through months of correspondence, she had grown to know him -far more verbose in letter- and thought him endearing. She feared not the silence amongst them anymore.

It was he who spoke first.

“Will you be going to the dance?” His voice startled her, causing her to jump, and he hid his smile behind the rim of his cup.

“Pardon?”

“The Mystic Dance at the Mint Palace, will you be attending?”

Ao paused before responding. She supposed she should, the whole town would be off, the food was sure to be delicious, and she might even perchance to see her two friends; however, people were different in the eyes of society, and she wondered if the night might end what little relations they currently had. An event open to all, free of status on paper, did not mean such conventions would be adhered to in practice. Looking at Vanderwood, though, she shook head of such notions; he and Saeyoung would not do such, and to think as so would despair their reputation. She smiled at him.

“I will if you teach me to dance.”

~*~

The counts had been easy; the closeness, movement, and posture, not so much. Vanderwood had come several times since his last visit, true to his promise of being her instructor, and Ao might have felt bad were it not for the heat flaming her cheeks whenever she recalled Saeyoung’s laughter at her miserable attempts at turning during their last visit (how he escaped, she knew not, only that she pitied the poor soul waiting on him). She would learn, she’d vowed, if only out of spite.

Determined not to become a spectacle again, Ao’s evenings had been filled with enough practice that her head was now constantly counting off 3s, her shoulders held a dull ache, and the furniture had been misplaced for days. Yet as Vanderwood now led her around the room, she had not glanced at her feet and had only stepped on his once. Maybe twice. Alright, three times, but in her defense, she had tripped! Or so she insisted to Saeyoung, whose rapid applause came the moment they separated.

“Marvelous, indeed! Would have thought you a different lass!” He teased.

Ao stuck her tongue at him, and Saeyoung leaned against his friend, arm draped across his forehead. “Forsooth, Mary, our lady doth wound me!”

Vanderwood sighed at their antics, yet his smile betrayed his amusement.

“Perhaps you’d care to dance with the lady?” He gestured to Ao; brow quirked.

“And risk my toes?” Saeyoung gasped, “I’d never!”

“Saeyoung Choi!” Ao shouted, attempting to stomp on his shoes. “You absolute heathen!” She missed and the two began a chase about the room, jerking knees and squashing stones, until Saeyoung ran back towards Vanderwood.

“Help me, Vandy!” He cried. “A demon gives chase!” His attempt to hide was thwarted by Vanderwood’s arms surrounding his own and holding him in place, grin stretched across his face. Saeyoung gasped in mock betrayal -twisting to get out- before slumping forwards and extending a foot in defeat. A firm press upon the top of his shoe and Saeyoung was freed, rejoining his friends’ sides to complete an afternoon of mirth and merriment.

~*~

Laughter echoed down the streets as people clapped and cheered -fiddlers skipped along the cobblestone roads whilst onlooking peddlers tapped rhythms with the boxes of their wares. Shops were closing, but with the dawning of the ball in a few days’ time, taverns opened early, seeking to make coin from their many guests. In town, nary a room twas available at any inn, yet still the folk kept coming.

Parading after the fiddlers, people poured into the streets, bouncing with the beats as they sashayed along towards open spaces. All this Ao and Vanderwood had witnessed through her windows yet remained inside. Now, rocking upon her heels, Ao grabbed Vanderwood’s hand, tugging him towards the door and the festivities beyond.

Initially, Vanderwood had no intention of participating in such jovialities -his latest letter from the week prior apologizing for his previous and most likely continued absence- but Saeyoung had pulled him from his desk, knocked upon Ao’s door, thrust him at her, and vanished within the throngs of people scurrying about. Graciously, she had offered him welcome and rest in her abode, but Vanderwood had caught her gaze frequently flit to the outside merriment. Having arrived unannounced, it would not have done to kept her from whatever plans she may have had, or so he told himself. Truthfully, he, too, wished to join the crowds -the carefree and lively spirits of the townsfolk were always a welcome reprieve from the stuffiness of High Society. As Ao sternly told her cats to mind the house and behave, before pulling him with her into the party beyond; however, he wondered if perhaps that were not his only reasoning.

*

It was not his only reasoning, Vanderwood realized, watching his friend dance about, the fires illuminating her smile as a new tune picked up. He saw her beam when her eyes met his own, then beckon him over, but he shook his head, lifting his goblet. She rolled her eyes and huffed at him, yet quick as her smile had fallen, it returned, and she twirled around once more.

Vanderwood took a swig of drink, attempting to ignore the beat which seemed to thrum louder now in his chest. He should rest while he could -Ao would soon drag him out to join her, of that, he was sure.

*

True to form, she had sought him out after a few more songs had pass, laughing as she spun and planted her feet firmly in front of him.

“Mary Vanderwood!” She panted, grin undermining her admonishment. “One does not simply turn down an invitation to dance!” Vanderwood merely watched as she struggled to regain her breath.

“Drink?” He offered at last, holding out his cup as the notes of a new song began. He chuckled when Ao frowned at him before downing its contents.

“Well,” she sighed, “one song can wait.” Then, as though realizing what she had just done, stammered a “thank you” and handed back his cup.

When the music began anew, Ao tugged Vanderwood towards the crowd of dancers, weaving betwixt the bystanders, pattering along seemingly as though she had missed not a beat of song. And as she kicked up her skirts and twirled about, pulling him deeper in with her, Vanderwood was glad the fire’s glow concealed his cheeks’ blush.

~*~

Well, tonight was the night. Donning the dress before her, Ao prayed it would be nice enough -what little remnants of her wages she had after necessities and paper, she had saved for the fabric to sew a proper, formal dress. Though simple in design and decoration, the dress fit her well and complemented her complexion -vibrant red to catch the eye, with a silhouette that tapered in towards her waist before flowing out about her once more. Practicing a few steps, Ao found she rather liked the way it fanned around her when she spun.

Against her neck sat not pearls, but a ring -a memento of family long gone- and she gripped it tight, wishing for all to go well. Drawing her cloak about her, invitation in hand, Ao left for a fate unknown.

~*~

Ao blinked once. Twice. Pinched her hand and -ow! - this was real. The gentleman before her -noble of birth, correspondent of the treasured letters she kept within the box upon her shelf, beloved friend- stood now with hand outstretched and crown atop silken, brown locks. He chuckled at her reaction.

“Well?” He asked, nudging her hand. “I believe one does not simply turn down an invitation to dance.”

Timidly, Ao placed her hand in Vanderwood’s, and he pulled her closer -left hand closing around hers, right palm tucked against her back- before leading her about the floor.

“You never told me!” She hissed, gaze flickering to his crown before eyeing those around them. He laughed, a familiar sound in so foreign an environment.

“You never asked.”

Ao frowned, about to retort when they spun and she tripped, stepping on his foot. For a moment, they both froze. Then, slowly, they giggled, chuckled, laughed, roared -voices filling the room, and their eyes with tears. Vanderwood took Ao’s hand once more and continued leading her around the space, and for the first time that day, she relaxed.

And if Saeyoung saw the pink that tinged both their cheeks? No, no he did not.

[i-am-the-balancing-point]

2 and 3 for the oc questions :D

hehe thank you! this is gonna be fun <3 (you did not specify the category so I'm just doing all 2s and 3s from the list :3)

this got really long so it's answered under the cut

BASICS

2. What does their name mean? Why were they named that?

the incredibly deep and thoughtful meaning behind Deputy Gigi's name is that she is the deputy and Gigi is my nickname and she is named that way because she is my fun little self-insert lady with a fun little hat. 😎

On a more serious note: I have thought a lot about her name by now and have come to the conclusion that I find it highly amusing if she were to just go by her first name (which is possibly a nickname, I haven't decided yet) and title and nobody really knew that much about her full name because it does not really matter in the end anyway. She'll introduce herself as the Junior Deputy or Deputy Gigi and people are all confused and will be like..? "Is Gigi your surname? Is this a nickname? Your nametag says Rook." in absolute confusion. She'd just shrug and leave them in the dark.

although I have considered making Rook her last name but I am somewhat hesitant about that for some reason I do not know

according to some mediocre ecosia research (use ecosia btw! it's great!) Gigi can be the diminutive of Virginia, which can mean "virginal" or "virgin woman", something I find equally amusing considering how much of a thot my character and I are, but also "pure" which I find kinda endearing. under all of this wrath and energy and grief and confusion and stress, there are pure intentions and those are what motivates her. it is a stretch but I like the connection nonetheless.

3. Do they have any nicknames?

Yes! Sharky calls her Shorty, Hurk has adopted the practice. (I love them.) Stacy, she likes to call him Stace, used to call her Stinky but not as much anymore after he is freed from Jacob's capture. Addie sometimes uses sweet pea, sweetcorn, or sweet greens for her. Everybody respects that and nobody dares to make fun of it. Also because they are scared of the ass whooping they would get from both.

APPEARANCE

2 . Do they have a face claim?

Hm kinda but also kinda not...? I based her design on my face for obvious self-insert reasons but also because I cannot draw without tracing photos to save my life.

If I had to pick a face-claim with a gun to my head I'd probably say Gal Gadot, but also because I am a HUGE wonder woman fan. Maybe throw in some Priyanka Chopra - especially during her Quantico days - and Zoë Kravitz in there too.

3. What’s their style like? Clothes, hair, makeup?

ooooh fun fun fun! I love talking about style and this specifically!

At first, Gigi was really attached to her uniform. To a point where it took a good bit of persuasion from Dutch until she finally agreed to at least take it off to let it dry. (She then also gave it a rinse because lake water stinks and she eventually came to the realization that she cannot be a respectable deputy if she smells like days-old fish pee.)

But during the first few weeks after the helicopter crash, she will absolutely not take that damn uniform off. Not even if it gets really hot under the shirt. It is so ingrained in her that she is responsible for protecting the citizens of Hope County, especially now that the situation has escalated. She. Cannot. Possibly. Fail. Them. It's not only her job but her duty and the uniform that represents this role as Junior Deputy is the only thing that she can cling to for at least a brief sense of security and pre-reaping normalcy.

Then, after having witnessed one too many deaths, presumably on the resistance side - that she of course secretly blames herself for - something in her snaps and she ditches the uniform because at this point it does not mean anything anymore anyways. So from then on, she sports her skinny jeans and the trouble maker crop top. John swears it's a deliberate decision to taunt them because her new clothes show off the scars he gave her all too well and OH MY GOD IT'S NAKED SKIN! LITTLE JOHNNY JUST HAS TO STARE!

She also ditches her old boots eventually for a pair of trainers which she takes from an abandoned home. It's something she hates doing but her boots are basically falling apart by then and decent shoes in her size are hard to come by when nobody gets in or out of the county. She makes a mental note to get whoever they previously belonged to a new pair if they are both still alive when the cult is finally defeated though.

And of course, not to forget, her cowboy hat! It was something Dutch allowed her to take from his bunker. It belonged to a family member once but they have stopped visiting him quite a while ago and he figures she can keep it. Also a little ref to Sheriff Whitehorse who she respects a lot and who is someone my dep looks up to.

PERSONALITY

2 . Which one of the 16 Personality Types do they fit into?

okay, okay, okay. I'm getting a little ranty again so I'll try to keep it short but my stance on this is that the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is complete and utter bullshit. give it a google if you're interested, I'm too tired of this to explain.

3. What are their hobbies and interests? Do they have any particular “favorites” (food, books, and so on)?

The easiest way to Gigi's heart is food. Food and horses. She has been riding horses as long as she can walk and she absolutely loves spending time with those animals. And she loves to cook and eat. She loves taking care of people by cooking for them and getting cared for in the same way. If you get her takeout after she had a long day of work she'll basically be down to get married on the spot (John, take note! You should have brought Bang Bang Broccoli with Tofu to the church instead of those dead ravens).

During the reaping, she would love nothing more than to catch a break with a book. She prefers non-fiction but at the time she would take basically anything to just take her mind off the whole mess for a while.

BACKGROUND

2 . What’s their family like?

Things with her parents are tense but not completely terrible. They don't talk often. She has a bunch of cousins she loves but doesn't get to see as often as she'd like. At least that means nobody is worried about her when she does not text or call for a while... She hates when people worry about her.

3. What factions or organizations are they a part of? What ranks and titles do they hold?

Hope County Sheriff's Department – current – Junior Deputy

The Resistance – current – bad bitch trying her best

Girl Scouts of the USA – age 10 – Junior yes, she used to be a girl scout but unfortunately only briefly

RELATIONSHIPS

2. What’s their friend group like? What role do they play in it?

Deputy Gigi is absolutely chaotic good. A very loud, very fun, and caring mom-friend. Okay, maybe not exactly mum but fun auntie-friend? She always wants to take care of everybody and can make friends wherever she goes but she can also quickly get too much for people when she's having a good time and really excited about life.

That, fortunately, attracts a bunch of queerdos though! But the job has taken a toll on her social life and does not get to see and talk to her old friends as much as she would like anymore...

3. What’s their love life like? Do they have any kids?

Active describes it the best. My deputy is definitely a people-person. She also values her alone-time but she is naturally outgoing flirty and sexual (when she is not on the job) so she does date and sleep around. That stops for a while with the reaping but once she is back to her old self, virtually no cheeks in hope county will escape the clapping!

FUN FACTS

2. Do they play any instruments? Sports?

She plays guitar. Not super well but it's enough to accompany her singing and that she does well! Same for playing the piano. Generally, she is musically inclined she just lacks any formal education, and now the time to practice.

Dep Gigi does not play sports apart from horse riding but she starts to learn bat tricks when it becomes her trusty companion.

3. What are some items they always carry?

a chewed up pen, cliff bars, ibuprofen an,d a knife plus her trusty rusty bat

for more insight into her pockets pls refer to the OC inventory tag thing I made ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Fake (Tamaki x Reader)

Pairing: Tamaki x Fem!Reader

Someone messaged me with the request: “I was thinking about if one of the boys had a fem friend and they are hanging out one day and some guy won't leave them alone so they act as if the boy is their boyfriend to make the guy go away and after the boy actually really liked being called her bf and they realize the feelings they had for them were not as platonic as they first thought? Always thought this was cute!!" They also gave me the option to do Bakugou or Tamaki, so I went with Tamaki

a/n: Thank you for the request and the kind messages dear! SO sorry this one took a while, I wanted to take the time and do Tamaki properly and I was also generally just burnt out so I really hope I did it justice and you like it!

I meant to finish this last night because I thought I would keep it short, but instead it ended up being 2.2k words?? And I fell asleep writing it (no joke, when I woke up there was a huge line of 3s on my screen) and I finished it during the day today.

"I've always thought cotton candy was a magical type of snack," I comment, happily chomping away at the sugary treat melting in my mouth.  "It's the type of thing that makes you feel like a kid again!"

"Mm, I guess so," Tamaki responds, taking another bite of his takoyaki.

"Do you want a bite?"

The boy's indigo eyes barely gaze down and it before he immediately takes the bite for himself.  His munching really makes him look childish as the treat is supposed to do.  "I was never fond of cotton candy.  I guess I just naturally prefer animal treats because of my quirk."

"Yeah, that's understandable."  I stare off into the distance, eyeing the giant roller coaster looming in front of us.  My heart quickens at the sight, the anticipation building inside me.  "Tama, we gotta get on that coaster!"

At the word, his face goes completely blank.  "C-Coaster?"

"Come on Tama, please?" I whine.  "We've only been to all the carnival games and the mild rides, just one?"  I know my poor friend has terrible fear of...everything, but I gotta have my fun too!  And I wouldn't want to leave him out from my experiences, nor would I want to leave him alone in this crowded place.

His quivering figure attempts to breath in a sigh.  "O-Okay, but you have to hold onto me when we get on, okay?  You know how much I hate that h-high up."

I loop an arm around his shoulder, pulling him all-too eagerly towards the coaster.  "I'll be right next to you! It won't be that scary, I promise!"  I don't know if he believes me, but he keeps in pace with me as I speed-walk over.

Once we get there, we find the line is a good twenty minute wait to get in.  My feet tap impatiently in the concrete floor.  Tamaki and I are polar opposite friends; I'm the loudmouth while he's more reserved, I take risks while he keeps to the safe route, I chase more thrilling adventures while he'd rather keep to the more tame ones.  I don't mind putting his comfort first most of the time, but the one thing I can't give up is being at an amusement park and not going on the coasters.  They practically call to me, dangling themselves in front of me while screams entice me with promises of thrill.  It's like the architects know how to attract crazies like me.

When I open my mouth to comfort Tamaki - who's staring up at the coaster like he's about to die - the person behind him catches my attention.  My lips form into a solid line and I grab my friend's forearm just a hint rougher than I usually do.

The boy snaps out of his reverie quickly.  He understands the gesture and leans in.  "What's wrong?"

"I think the guy standing behind us has been following us for a while," I whisper low enough so only he can hear.  Tamaki's eyes widen and he's about to turn around when I make a face for him to freeze and not look back.  "Just act natural, I'll take care of it if he tries something."

Not long after we keep carrying on our conversation, Tamaki takes a call on his phone and the guy finally speaks up.  "This ride must be pretty swell if the line's so long for it."

"Yeah, I'm pretty excited for it," I respond.  As long as his intentions are still up in the air, I'll be polite to him.  No reason to be hostile right off the bat.

Rocking back and forth on his feet, he asks, "Do you come here often?"

I shrug.  "Not really, only every once in a while.  My work and school keep me busy."

"I see."  He pauses for a moment.  "So are you too busy for a relationship?"

Oh for fuck's sake.  "I'm not in the market for a boyfriend right now, thank you."

The guy scoots just a tiny bit closer to me.  "Come on, I'm sure you'd change your mind if you got to know me better.  We could just talk for now."

He's persistent.  I suppress the urge to roll my eyes into the back of my head.  "I don't think that's a good idea."  I don't even want to look this guy in the face.  Maybe if I show how uninterested I am, he'll get the message and back off.  I move up in the line when the people in front of us step forward.

"You won't know until you try."  He touches my arm, "Just give me-"

I back my arm away and I glare holes through his skull.  "Why are you touching me?"

"You just weren't looking, I thought it was pretty rude," he shrugs.

I'm almost appalled by how innocent he thinks he is.  How is that okay?  "We just met two seconds ago, you have no right to touch me at all."

The guy lets out a dry laugh.  "I don't know why you're being so uptight and closed off."

Bitch, did you just call me 'uptight'??!!  I'm about to punch this guy right up to the front of the line.

"H-Honey?  What's wrong?"

My head whips around a full 180 degrees to Tamaki, who's finished his call and his eyes are shifting between me and the stranger.  "I-Is he bothering you?"

My stomach does a flip recalling the term of endearment he used earlier.  Thankfully, I know what he's trying to do.  "Yeah, babe.  This guy won't leave me alone."  I shift over towards my friend and grasp his arm.  If we're gonna play this, we're gonna play it right.

The strange guy analyzes the two of us, shifting his eyes back and forth.  "This guy is your boyfriend?"  He's clearly unconvinced.

"Yeah, you got a problem?" I cock an eyebrow, slightly stepping up to assert my dominance.

After a few more awkward seconds, the guy snickers.  "You're dating this guy?  You're barely touching him and he's shaking like a little bitch."

The fury shoots right through me.  No one calls my Tamaki a little bitch and gets away with it.  I'm aboutta end this man's whole life-

Tamaki places a calming hand on my own before I can fully explode on him.  "I-It's okay, sweetie, it doesn't hurt me."

The term immediately washes me over with warmth that cools down my hot anger.  Not to mention my heart's beating a little faster at this affectionate contact.

The moment breaks when the idiot in front of us laughs again.  "You guys can't be dating.  You don't even look like a couple."

"We don't have to be all over each other making out to look like a couple," I roll my eyes.  I've had just about enough of this guy.  "Some of us can keep it in our pants, you know."

"Yeah, but you guys haven't done anything couple-y."

I snort.  What an idiot.  "First of all, thanks for admitting you're a stalker who's been watching us.  Second of all, we shared snacks earlier, I'm sure you must have caught us."

"Big whoop, that's nothing!"  An evil smirk spreads across his face.  "Why don't you two kiss, right here and now?  Prove me wrong."

The rogue thought of kissing Tamaki enters my mind like a bullet and my heart skips a beat.  I shake myself out of that.  "We don't need to take orders from someone like you.  You probably get off to that because you're so lonely, don't you?"

"No need to take it that far, sweetie-"

That's the last straw.  Before I can do anything, Tamaki's wraps a tentacle around the guy's body, lifting him up and constricting his movement temporarily.  His gaze is blank and he nods for me to go ahead with my confrontation.  We make a pretty good team.  I turn back to the guy, pinning him with my deadliest glare.  "You've crossed so many lines today, Mr. Harasser.  We've both had just about enough of your stupidity.  If you don't want us to report you to police for sexual harassment, you'd better run along and stop following us.  Or else my boyfriend here will dangle you off the side of this roller coaster, got it?"

One look into mine and Tamaki's eyes removes the color from the guy's face.  Knowing Tamaki, he's got his hero face on, and I know first hand how intimidating he can look when he does that.  As soon as Tamaki lets him wriggle free, he runs off to the back of the line alone.

"What an ass," I huff, the image of the guy running with his tail between his legs amusing to me.  "Some guys just don't know when to quit."  I cling onto Tamaki's arm and rest my head on his shoulder.  "Good thing you were here to help me get rid of him, hm?"

"Y-Yeah, I guess."  His face turns five shades redder.

It feels weird to be close to him like this now, even if we've shared our personal space like this many times before.  I'm reminded of Tamaki calling me "honey" earlier, sending a fresh set o f shivers through me.  I never knew I needed to hear that from him before.  Tamaki's always been a great friend and we've become so close.  I never realized just how close we've gotten.

"Y-You know," he scratches his ear with his free hand, "I'm kind of...glad I came with you today.  I don't think I'd like it if someone else was with you to act as your fake boyfriend..."

Oh.  That's a pretty bold and straightforward statement, and it's coming from Tamaki of all people.  The implication finally hits me at once and my own face heats up.  "You mean-"

Tamaki grabs my arm suddenly and starts shaking even more violently than normal.  We'd made it to almost the front of the line, almost about to get into the car.  "I-I-If I s-survive this," he gulps, "I'll finish.  B-But you have to h-hold onto me like you promised!"

I knit our fingers together, the rush of both getting on the coaster and hearing what he has to say mixing together, even I can't help shaking slightly in anticipation.  I don't let go of his hand as we get on and secure ourselves in.  His eyes are screwed shut as we're slowly pulled to the top of the hill.  I squeeze tighter on his hand.  "You can do this Tamaki, I'm right here."

He lets out a cute little whine when the car was pulled just enough to the front for us to look down at the impending fall.

"Just scream and let it all out!"

The coaster finally pushes forward and my stomach lurches.  Tamaki lets out the loudest scream out of everyone on the ride with us.  The rush is intense, our bodies flinging and the wind gusting against us.  I start screaming myself out of pure pleasure, still grasped on his hand that's squeezing the blood out of mine.  Even as we pull into the start again and we're unlocked, Tamaki's eyes are sealed shut.

"Tama, it's over, open your eyes now," I giggle.

"I-I'm too dizzy."

I help steady him to get up and out, even wrapping his arm around my shoulder to steady him as we descend the steps away from the ride.  I can feel his entire body shaking down to his knees.  "How do you feel?"

It takes a few moments of scrambled mumbles before he can say something coherent.  "That was scarier than raiding the Shie Hassaikai."

I chuckle again at his nerves.  "At least you're a little more guaranteed to live from this.  And you survived."

As we finally cross through the exit gate, he sweeps me aside, albeit shakily, pushing our foreheads together.  "I did," he breathes before pressing his lips to mine.  I hold onto his back and pull him closer, melting into his quivering kiss.  My heart beats faster after just calming down from the ride.

Tamaki pulls away from me and pushes his forehead on my shoulder.  "Give me a second, my head hurts."

His little whining softens me, threading my hands in his hair to calm him down.  "It's okay, baby boy, take a second."

He stiffens at my pet name for him.  He lifts his head up and finally gazes at me.  "Y-You're pretty great, as a friend and a person.  You're the only person I'd want to be a pretend boyfriend for, and I hope I'm the only one you'd do that for me too."

"Why would I want to be fake girlfriend for someone I want to actually date?"

His face turns even more crimson in response to that.  "O-Oh. Okay."

"But if we're gonna date, you're gonna have to get used to going on roller coasters with me," I tease him.

And just like that, all that blush drains from his face and he shivers again.

I can't help kissing his cute little nose and wrapping my arms around him.  "I'm just playing with you, Tama.  But at least every once in a while, just so you can get over your fear.  And you'll get a kiss and ice cream afterwards."

The adorable smile on his face threatens to melt my knees into mush.  "Okay!"
