A month-long journey to get to his new mate brings along uncertainty, doubts and a guard that might turn the already promised omega’s life upside down.

Louis/Harry | 3,4K | Mature | fic post

"I can't stand it when they look at you like that!" --OR-- His omega’s propensity of being jealous was something Louis had always enjoyed unabashedly. The uni professor was never not amazed by the fact that his harmless-looking omega could turn from a sweet doll to a possessive creature emitting a warning snarl, in a matter of seconds. As long as it ended with him cuddling even more closer into Louis' chest at night, the alpha knew that it would all be alright. The bookstore AU

Louis/Harry | 59,7K | Explicit

Ao entrar na cabine, se deparou com Harry amuado em um divã ao lado da janela, se lamentando pelo maldito tartaruga como se fosse um homem digno de ser amado. Louis era esse homem, o amor de Harry deveria ser dele. O ômega teve um sobressalto quando Louis se sentou diante dele e segurou seu queixo. "Eu nunca quis alguém tão desesperadamente em toda a minha vida quanto eu quero você, mas eu nunca vou tocá-lo sem a garantia de que é isso que você quer, me dê merda de dias e seja meu, seu capitão não dá a mínima para você, nenhum deles e você está implorando para voltar para aqueles que te abandonaram como nada. Chorando por aqueles covardes, enquanto eu te ofereço tudo. Esses baús, essas joias, minha frota inteira e principalmente, eu, tudo isso está aos seus pés. Você é o ômega mais poderoso do Caribe, Harry. Me aceite e não vai se arrepender." Harry piscou seus longos cílios lentamente e Louis acreditou que ele estivesse considerando. "Eu jamais aceitarei você." Louis inflou o peito com raiva e despeito. Se Harry se manteria irredutível, ele atuaria como seu carrasco.

🔹 Have a seat, darling by WordsInBloom28

Louis/Harry | 14,1K | Explicit

Harry stood robotically, Louis’ sudden appearance sending his omega on autopilot, not wanting to accidentally step out of line in front of all the other powerful alphas. Louis placed a guiding hand against the small of his back, walking tall towards his seat at the table which was once again inhabited by the alphas in charge. Harry tensed his posture when he noticed nine sets of eyes assessing him as they approached. “Gentleman, Harry will be my guest for the rest of the evening.” Louis paused as his eyes flashed to each member of the table. “I expect you all to welcome him in.” Harry caught most of the alphas bowing their heads in greeting, while others’ glares sharpened ever so slightly. The heady scent mingling around the table had Harry’s blood heating within his veins, and his heart quickened from the attention. Louis sat down first, resuming his relaxed, sprawled out posture on the ornate seat. His eyes locked on Harry as one of his hands smoothed down his thigh and patted the area softly. “Have a seat,” he murmured lowly. *** or two times Harry is invited to sit on pack alpha Louis’ lap.

🔹 for your eyes only (i’ll show you my heart) by moon_rose25 / @darkinfinity

Louis/Harry | 1,9K | General Audiences

Louis quickly opened his eyes and scanned the room, his eyes stopping on the sofa on the far left side. There was a man, turned with his back towards Louis, and based on his slow rise and fall of his back he guessed he was sleeping. If he had to guess, it was probably an omega, based on the faint scent. Or omega Harry has touch depri and finds comfort in alpha Louis’ scent

🔹 Alone and Back Again by LadyLondonderry / @londonfoginacup

Louis/Harry | 4,4K | Teen And Up | fic post

Harry Styles has very few enemies, and even fewer friends.  On the outskirts of the village, past the stream but before the river, sits a small one-room cottage, cool in the summers but draughty in the winters.  In that one room cottage sits a cooking pot over a fire, a smaller selection of woodworking tools, and a nest of furs that is the pride and joy of one lonely omega.  Or, what does one do when a feral alpha shows up in town ready to be executed?

🔹 Good-Old Fashioned Lover Boy by not_fitzwilliam / @not-fitzwilliam-darcy

Louis/Harry | 5,7K | Not Rated

Harry's savior complex has often led him to rather questionable situations, but this might take the cake. When a miscalculated decision leads to an accidental courtship with the sweetest, most gentle alpha, Harry is torn between breaking the alpha's heart and telling the truth. Yes, Louis does seem to give unorthodox courting gifts, but he is rather endearing and Harry is just an omega, after all.

Louis/Harry | 7,8K | Mature | fic post

Louis was in the middle of an intense routine, his need to be with Harry becoming almost unbearable. The pain and migraine that had tormented him all day finally began to fade as he sank into his omega's body, finding in him the relief he so desperately needed.

Louis/Harry | 7,4K | Mature | fic post

“Mum?” “Yes, poppet?” “Could I do your job when I’m a grown-up?” “I don’t see why not, sweetie,” she agreed. “You can do anything you want, as long as you put the work in, and dedicate yourself to it.” Louis Tomlinson has always wanted to be a midwife like his mum, but in a world where it's expected for Omegas to be the caregivers, how is he going to manage his career when he presents as an Alpha?

[andrew-thy-accursed]

hello to my favouriteee black metal artist on tumblr ( artist as in like, art artist not music artist lolol )

just took a peak at the posts about your blog on that sub and holy fuck do the people commenting on it sound like total losers lolol! some of them sound straight up thirteen… or people who just never matured, i suppose… anyways, sorry you had to turn off your anon for the time being but it was probably for the best as to just let this storm of losers from reddit blow over… those comments from the person who posted you saying your art is not even good is so delusional, i have people who i dislike but that i can very much still admit that they make good things like art or music! sure, they can dislike you and what you do on here but saying your art is not good is just a straight up lie! anyone with eyes can see that your art is beyond amazing and you clearly have so much talent in the art field… also what the hell was with them constantly calling you “ girlie ” and “ girl ” ? they want to call other people cringe but seemingly cannot read their own comments where they type like a young teen attempting to be sassy…

i honestly cannot believe they have not posted anything from my blog on there yet, they seem to love posting fanfiction about band members! hello blackmetalcringe reddit users, post all about me on there if you would like to! my black metal fanfiction blog is @world0fmadness and i will be completely unbothered by you losers! i would actually love to see what little quips you guys can come up with and what names you think will hurt me the most

but yeah, sending love and hugs to you! fuck ‘em right up the ass with a sword because they will never be as awesome as you are <3

Hiiiii, thank you so much,,

And yeah they do. Sometimes I wonder if it's just other teenagers insulting each other and adults because it's behavior that's just like the mean girls who would go to my highschool..."you can't sit with us" type shit yk?

With regard to the art comments...if I don't like someone I tend to not even touch that with a 30 ft pole...because I know I'm skilled at art!! And their comments on me being "shit" does nothing but hurt other artists who are just as skilled or less skilled! Like damn!! The girlie thing I just think was mean girl behavior because what else could it be 😭 unless that OP knew I was trans bc if so then we're gonna have transphobia (which is typical) 😂 But I try to even give people who hate me some benefit of the doubt/good faith because if I can't even approach someone else's hostility with good faith I can't ask for that faith back. (In my experience, but it's something I gotta get better on lol)

And if you do get posted I wish you luck lol 😂😂 I get death threats and SH threats in my inbox from time to time and i delete them right off the bat because it's not even any fun!! Like just the old "Kys" that's all you got??? Not even gonna make it fun and detailed? Lame if you ask me

thank you for the hugs and support though I really appreciate the love 😭🖤🤲

[takiberry]

It's be a while since I've sent you anything Rene, I was gonna come off anon, but I remembered I said I'd do that after sending K and Euijoo thoughts, and I may be many things, and a woman of a word is one of them. So here are some K hard thoughts for ya, so 8 down 1 to go.

If anyone in &Team is obsessed with sending and receiving nudes, it's absolutely K. He is the kind of guy that takes artful nudes, they don't make you say oh a penis, instead you just say oh damn. He's the kind of guy that knows how to take nudes that aren't just dick out, the type of nudes you save on your phone in a secret folder, the type of nudes that always make you ask for more. He however will take any nude he can from you, like whether it's a full nude or a partial, and honestly, I feel he'd be the type to get more bricked up from a photo of you wearing a silk little number that makes you look amazing, rather than from an actual nude. Like he thinks nudes are great, but when you send him a photo of yourself wearing that new little lingerie set you bought to wear for him, he falls in love with you all over again, wonders if it's possible for a dick to get so hard is stays that way, and wonders if it's possible to have a permanent love boner. He, of course, keeps every photo you send him in a hidden folder on his phone, but he has a secret folder within that photo for the photos he believes are the best, these photos are the ones he looks at first when he's missing you, which is honestly always. He's the type to ask you to send him a nudes, and then he reciprocates, sending you nudes back. K is the type of guy that if you did a boudoir photoshoot, his first reaction wouldn't be oh you did this for me, it would be why didn't you do this with me. I've talked about how he loves nudes, but like he would also have a thing for couple nudes. Like the two of you naked or almost naked tangled up in each other, even better to him, or him wearing pants while you just wear his oversized shirt, gets him harder than a photo of you actually naked does. K is also the one I think would enjoy sending dirty videos the most, like he'd send you a selfie followed by a video, and it's just a video of him jacking off. He would like you sending him videos of you touching yourself, but I think he'd enjoy filming you touching yourself even more. If anyone is to make a sex tape, it's absolutely him. He's the type to want to film at least one sex tape, says it's so he can jerk off to it when he's away from you, but he'd have no problem with filming multiple, that is if you want to. Definitely keeps at least one short video, probably of you going down on him, on his phone. Has all the other videos loaded on his computer, and will make you sit and watch them with him sometimes, calls it foreplay and absolutely narrates the whole time, commenting on what he liked and what he didn't, what he wants to do again and what he's gonna do to you tonight, all while touching you. The type to film the two of you having sex, but not getting your faces into the shot, then calls it artistic. Also the type to show you videos of others, explaining he wants to do that with you, then films your own version of that. Films pov videos sometimes, mostly you sucking him off, and absolutely jerks off to them when you aren't around.

you’re so real for this anon, yudai would definitely be the type to film his sexual acts with you and go back to ‘em when he’s away on tour with his members

Getting it Right Again…For the Very First Time

Self actualize, prioritize, …realize

The transition…looking back, fighting regrets, did you live the life you wanted?

Greetings lounge lizards, ne’er do wells, seekers, finders, travelers of the wind and or world … you open minded wanderers. The teacher in transition finds himself inspired …finally …with martini in hand to expound philosophical. We are three weeks into our time here in the Round Rock/ Georgetown/ Austin area and feel settled in enough to have explored the area and allowed it to work it’s magic. Each of our temporary homes have been genuinely unique in experience and effect on us.

The Austin area has a reputation of being an open minded, free thinking and perspective altering place. I’ve found my essential coffee house for my writing, planning and reading. We have enjoyed some incredible places to dine and have a drink; and beautiful landscapes that the Texas Hill Country is known for. In addition, I’ve wandered into some art spaces that have been very motivational. These places can be found most everywhere if one just slows down to look for them. As part of the post career explorative adventures I’ve taken, seeking out such locations is a non negotiable. The overall results have been positive, but there are two sides to every coin. Self actualization has taken one on the chin.

Though on the back side of fifty I may be, this …place has reawakened the youthful state of mind of a guy in his twenties. The bitter taste realized by who I am is that I never got to be that guy in his twenties. College was an exciting, challenging, growing time for me where I realized what I was capable of achieving and learning. Instead of going to art shows, concerts, hiking explorations, dining experimentations, late night adventures and intellectual musings …what was I doing? I was working sixty hours a week, changing diapers, coaching baseball, teaching Sunday school and getting a mortgage. Uh huh …opportunities missed. Do not get me wrong sports fans, I’ve held my mission to teach and to raise a family in the highest of regards, nothing higher in my mind, but being here …now …tickles the strings of regret just ever so. Regrets, we’ve all got ‘em, but we all don’t try to fix ‘em before it’s too late. I’m trying.

The adage, “better late than never” certainly is apropos here. I’m currently reading, “Singing Backwards and Weep” by Mark Lanegan; the frontman for the Screaming Trees, member of Mad Season and Queens of The Stone Age and renowned “Grunge” poet of the nineties. He was an artist I’ve held in tremendously high regard along with other nineties Rock luminaries like Kurt Cobain, Andrew Wood, Chris Cornell, Jerry Cantrell, Eddie Vedder, Travis Meeks and on and on. The level of self expression and awareness presented in a painful, deep form of music; hell, any form of art (I’m looking at you Vincent V.G. and Robin W.) amazes me and awakens the deepest longing to just touch the hem of their garment …so to speak. I wasn’t seeking any of that when passion burns brightest in our lives …I was Ward Cleaver.

What if? Where would I have been? A torment all to common too humanity when they dare to look back. Did I live the life I truly wanted? Yes, but it comes with a degree of tormenting regret. A degree …maybe a couple, but I’m …here …now. To become the legend that Mark Lanegan, Cobain, Staley, Cornell, Weiland, Gossard … a terrible price was exacted to achieve the dream of artist. Five of the guys I just listed didn’t make it to my current age of fifty six; all of them left families broken and alone. I wished to be an artist of spectacular accomplishment, but that’s a price I wouldn’t have wanted to pay. Yes, I was domesticated and obligated; yes, it was regimented and stifling at times, but I have a beautiful family a career legacy of helping young people. And I’m here …I’m …here …right …now. Walt Whitman says it clearly and magnificently in his poem, “O Me! O Life:”

O Me! O Life!

BY WALT WHITMAN

Oh me! Oh life! of the questions of these recurring,

Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill’d with the foolish,

Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)

Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the struggle ever renew’d,

Of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me,

Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined,

The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life?

                                       Answer.

That you are here—that life exists and identity,

That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.*

I am here …I exist …now. I have a voice. I have regrets. I have …now. I think I’ll go sing.

*Whitman, Walt; “O Me! O Life!;” Leaves of Grass; 1892

Would love to request headcanons for LS with a new member who seems to dress very modestly but it isnt until someone notices little tattoos peeking out at their wrists and ankles and neck that they realize theyre covered in them. Theyre just shy to show em is all though

What Do La Squadra Think Of Your Tattoos?

La Squadra x Reader (GN), Platonic/Romantic, SFW

Formaggio- Yeah, he gets you. Formaggio was an adolescent in the sort of circles where idiots with ink guns call themselves tattoo artists and all their friends just believe them. This led to Formaggio getting a couple tattoos that are... not the best. They're not completely mortifying, and he probably makes more of a big deal out of hiding them than is necessary, but it's just very obvious they were done by someone who wasn't a professional artist. Though it's (hopefully) not for the same reasons as you, he completely understands why someone would want to hide their tattoos. He won't bug you about it as much as you expect.

Illuso- Being all about 'natural beauty' (that's a lie, he spends more on beauty products than Prosciutto and Melone combined) Illuso has always waved away the idea of getting tattoos. Naturally, his first instinct is to tease, making untoward suggestions about what the rest of the designs you're hiding might be, but then he sees you're... genuinely embarrassed about this. That changes things. As much as he loves to make fun of his teammates he just feels like an asshole when they don't laugh back, so he stops at once. He never presses the issue with you again.

Prosciutto- It's perhaps unsurprising that the thought of entering a tattoo parlour always gave Prosciutto shivers, but since you're hardly the first person on the team to have them he isn't exactly going to judge. He is a little questioning about why you would even get tattoos if you can't bear people seeing them, but at the end of the day, he doesn't mean any harm by it. If you let him see them, he will give his fair share of complements about the designs, to prove to you he doesn't think ill of them.

Pesci- He is not brave enough to get a tattoo, but that doesn't mean he can't admire yours. He has a lot of questions about how much they hurt and how you chose the designs. Truth is, he's actually a little curious about tattoos and probably would get one if he could get over his fear of the pain. Maybe if you went with him, he might be able to manage it.

Melone- Though he doesn't have any of his own (he didn't think it fit with the rest of his style) Melone can very much appreciate tattoos on other people. He thinks it's a pity if you're so ashamed you have to hide them, and will encourage you to show more confidence. If you let him get a good look at them, he would love to pick the designs apart (accidentally turning the discussion into a full-on psychoanalysis) and talk about what they mean to you. He thinks you're definitely a brave person for getting so many tattoos, and assures you they're all amazing.

Ghiaccio- He was probably the one who first noticed your tattoos. Having a very eager eye, he was quick to spot them when your sleeve slipped back a little and, having no brain to mouth filter, he immediately blurted out what he saw in front of the whole team. Afterwards, he actually feels quite shitty about this because he knows it's wrong to just blurt out people's secrets but... big dumb baby... no brain to mouth filter. He makes sure to find you after and say sorry. He actually likes your tattoos, he was just surprised, is all.

Risotto- He can sympathise with you greatly. He's made about half a dozen visits to the tattoo parlour at this point but for reasons he cannot explain, he likes to keep his tattoos covered. Sure, he'll happily show up to an elite Passione function with his chest bared, lips painted black and hair dyed storm-white, but his tattoos are deeply personal to him and having someone look at them feels... intrusive. He won't question you about yours if it makes you uncomfortable, but if you did want to talk to them, maybe he could pluck up the courage to show you his in turn.

Sorbet and Gelato- While they don't quite see the appeal of tattoos to the same level as some, they'd be hypocrites to dismiss the idea entirely. They have 1 tattoo each and it's very simple: matching half-hearts on one wrist each. They got it in an alleyway in Paris about 14 years ago, which was in retrospect, not the smartest decision, but they still think it's cute. They understand if you want to keep yours hidden, but will show a genuine interest in your designs if you let them see them. They can always appreciate good art after all.

[ikjun]

moots as seventeen members? you as what member? ignore this if it’s too much. i saw you had fun with the last one!

jhzgtfrdftgzhu glad to be back for round 2 let's gooooo 💞

@coupsnim and s.coups: once more the cheol support squad coming through, but i still stand by him deserving to have someone around him who (realistically and enthusiastically) tells him what an amazing job he is doing every day. on the other hand, izzie is a very creative and visually expressive person and i think that would break open cheol's more rational approach to even art. they make up for what the other lacks.

@soonshuas and jeonghan: hana and hannie's names already go well together, which is proof i am correct. hana brings a lot of energy and life to my dash and i think jeonghan has a similar vibe to him. in this case, it's the both of them feeding off each other's energy while keeping their own cosmos of chaos in check.

@loversmore and joshua: ems is such a gentle and soft soul, really balanced and in touch with everything that hums as the undercurrent of life, and joshua is someone who appreciates the finer things as well as the joy that can be found in such simplicity. both together remind me of a finely curated art installation of just two people vibing with each other.

@widerthandistance and jun: nina is one of the few people on planet earth naturally gifted to deal with the fickle tides of a gemini's communicative needs and moods. and nina is also one of the funniest people i know, so i think her and jun would balance each other well. they also both have particular curiosity to music as well as the world in general so i imagine they'd learn about a ton of new stuff just from sharing fun facts.

@kihyuun and hoshi: proving yourself worthy of surviving another gemini's penchant for mass-texting at 2am or not breathing a sound for ten hours, nalina would deffo be a person to just have an easy time with hoshi. both of them are artists (capital A artists) and very dedicated to their crafts while being so so supportive and loving towards everyone around them, they'd extend the same loveliness towards the other and their work.

@awek-s and woozi: guys born in november ........... mad respect for all that entails (jk). but it's true i have tons of respect for woozi's artistic drive and what i have seen from alex, he shares a similar no nonsense approach and directness that many people might think is too much, but that would be right at home here.

@dokyom and dk: just two people who have so much love and so much joy and so much sun inside of them. i always alike dk to the sun and izy has been nothing but welcoming and expressive and kind ever since i joined the fandom. they both carry joy.

@seveanteen and mingyu: jen is such a lovely person and mingyu is a person that soaks up love and kindness like a flower staring directly at the sun. this would be a very fun combination bc i think mingyu gets jen out of her shell while jen reigns him back in when he gets a little too chaotic with everything.

@7ww and minghao: two artists! two very visually expressive and creative forces! while minghao leans into a more whimsical expression of his tastes, he also has these bursts of street-fashion-pop-art-urban energy that i always feel when i look at yasmin's edits. there's a lot of creative energy here that i think would be cool.

@bisexualhobi and vernon: ana, i know you think vernon is supreme boring, but both you and him (and me) talk like pitchfork music critiques and just love music and everything that is needed to create music so much. i think you'd be very good at picking each other's brains for hours. it's also fun for me to imagine your very energetic presence around the most chill dude in kpop. <3

@merry-kwanmas and seungkwan: this doesn't count as a cheat answer bc it is simply not my fault that mars and seungkwan give off the same vibe which is i-can-sit-at-a-table-for-13-and-still-be-the-best-known-person-in-the-room in a way that just exudes warmth like a space heater. and i think is a very valuable and scary power to have.

@beomsdaisies and dino: very bright, very energetic, very artistic and just generally very open hearted people, i think. dino can be a bit too tough on himself and bie would probably manage to comfortingly coax him back to earth while dino in return would also cheer them on more than anyone else. this is just such a bright and funny and joyful duo.

now we're all very smart and notice i have left someone out and that's wonwoo. i am the closest to wonwoo in personality, so i would always see myself as him (and have the easiest time around him). he's very quiet in crowds, but deeply supportive and present for the people in his life. he is a tough worker but also someone who enjoys the little things he does love. he's also a catboy, which ... cats are important! he gets that! and we are also just nerds lmao.

A3! Mizuno Kaya - Translation [SSR] The Company President of April 1st (2/3)

*Please read disclaimer on blog; default name set as Izumi

---

Izumi: (T-these people are…? They’re all wearing glasses and they kind of give off a rough vibe…)

Mizuno: Those guys are the members of the Development department.  MIZUNO Enterprise also has an in-house engineering department. When we launch any sort of internet or other service, these guys carry out the development.

Izumi: I see. (But they feel kind of threatening though…)

Banri: Oi, you know what we’re talkin’ about, don’tcha?

Juza: It’s about the contract Kazunari-san agreed on.

Azami: It’s cause of you spoutin’ “that’s possible, that’s possible,” without any thought that the deadline’s become hard to deal with.

Omi: I’m glad you’re leaving it in our hands to develop it, but…

Taichi: It was way too tricky this time, y’know…! We ended up staying at the office overnight…!

Banri: What kinda selfish shit are you pullin’?

Kazunari: Ehh~! But guys, if it’s y’all at the Development department, then you totes got it under control, right!

Sakyo: Don’t just leave it all to someone else so lightly. Are you screwin’ with me? In the first place, you punk ass…!

Kazunari: Well, I trust everyone on the Dev team! And besides…!

Mizuno: Now, now, you two.

Sakyo: President…

Mizuno: Let’s find a way to come to an agreement that reduces our company’s workload while satisfying the other party as well.

Sakyo: …I understand.

Kazunari: Yeah, that works… Sorry to the Dev team too. I’ll consult with them again.

Izumi: (This issue was settled really well. As expected of President Mizuno…)

Mizuno: Now then, on that topic, how about we take a tour of the Development department next?

Izumi: Sure!

Taichi: Ahh, wait, don’t tell me—it’s the new hire’s tour around each department!?

Mizuno: Yes, I showed her the Sales department just now…

Sakyo: ! You…

Izumi: ? (This person’s staring at me with a surprised look on his face…)

Mizuno: What’s the matter, Sakyo-san?

Sakyo: …Well, it was quite a long time ago, I suppose. You don’t remember, huh?

Izumi: (Remember…? Also, speaking of Sakyo… AHH!) Could it be, Sakyo onii-chan…!?

Employees: SAKYO ONII-CHAN!?

Omi: Do you two know each other?

Sakyo: We lived in the same neighbourhood when we were kids.

Izumi: I made him play with me a lot, but then onii-chan moved away a short time later…

Mizuno: I see, you are… childhood friends.

Juza: Then it’s a long-awaited reunion.

Sakyo: I see, you’re already at the adult working age too, huh…

Banri: He’s legit wiping his tears away.

Azami: His old man-stink’s increasin’.

Sakyo: Shut it—who is?

Banri: New hire-chan, you’re thinking ‘bout where you’ll be assigned to from now on, right?

Taichi: It'll be easy to work if you have someone you know, so won’t you join the Development department? I wanna work with you too!

Omi: Yeah, we welcome you.

Azami: I just joined the company last year too. If you come to the Development department, I’ll take care of you.

Banri: I’ll teach you anything you want, so you can count on me.

Sakyo: If there’s somethin’ you don’t know, or that’s troubling you, or if there’s anything you wanna know, I’ll help you anytime.

Izumi: Thank you very much…! (I thought they were kind of intimidating before, but everyone’s really kind.)

-pause-

Sakyo: Well, the Development department’s noisy like this, but we have some pretty interesting points too.

Banri: By the way, oi, Hyodo! If you review the code you wrote, it’s trash, dumbass!

Juza: AHH? There’s no way it is. Your eyes are what’s trash, jackass.

Banri: The hell d’you say!?

Taichi: Omi-kun, I’ve lost my concentration~, help me~!

Omi: Perfect, the quiche just finished so how about you take a break? Please help yourselves if you’d like, too, President, Tachibana-san.

Mizuno: Thank you very much. Itadakimasu.

Izumi: Thank you very much!

Mizuno: Fushimi-kun uses the in-office oven and makes food and sweets for us like this.

Izumi: Wow, it looks and smells really great. Itadakimasu. …! It's delicious!

Omi: Haha, I’m glad.

Juza: The sweets Omi-san makes are real good. I’m sure you’ll like ‘em too.

Taichi: We also have Omi-kun’s tasty snacks! It’s cool and fun, so choose the Development department!

Mizuno: Now then, it’s about time for my meeting with everyone from the Secretarial department. Let’s head over together, Tachibana-san.

-pause-

Izumi: (I-I can’t believe I’m allowed to enter the President’s office…! It’ll be pretty hard to get a chance to in the future…)

Mizuno: Now then, let’s begin the meeting. Tachibana-san, please observe from over there.

Izumi: Yes!

Tsumugi: I’ve summarized the details from the meeting the other day. The related documents are over here.

Mizuno: They’re very easy to understand and this helps a lot. The flowers that you’ve placed out today are also very beautiful.

Izumi: (By flowers, he means that beautiful flower arrangement that’s decorating the President’s office, right?)

Mizuno: I’m always able to work comfortably thanks to you, Tsukioka-san. Thank you very much.

Tsumugi: Not at all. I’m glad I could be of help.

Azuma: Fufu, as expected of Tsumugi, the soothing secretary.

Tasuku: I’ve carried over the all the documents and items and such to be used in the prep meeting with the client.

Mizuno: Understood. Sorry for always leaving the physical work to you.

Tasuku: Please leave it to me anytime. Also, here’s this week’s training menu. Let’s go to the gym tomorrow too. I’ve prepared new protein and drinks.

Homare: Body building secretary Tasuku-kun’s special training menu and special drinks, hm?

Mizuno: Thank you very much. Could you also give me some advice on stretching when you have time between work?

Tasuku: Of course.

Hisoka: Did you sleep well yesterday, President?

Mizuno: Indeed. It’s all thanks to Mikage-san, the pleasant sleep support secretary.

Hisoka: That’s great. Today, I’ve prepared a drink to have before you sleep, and a nicely scented candle. I also found a cushion that feels snuggly, so please give it a try.

Mizuno: Fufu, I’m looking forward to them all.

Hisoka: And I’ve prepared marshmallows too.

Mizuno: The marshmallows Mikage-san prepares when I’m craving something a little bit sweet are truly delicious.

Azuma: Your skin condition also looks good, partly because of the good night’s sleep you got.

Mizuno: The cream Yukishiro-san recommended is very comfortable to use, and I apply it all the time.

Azuma: I’m glad you’ve taken a liking to it. Let’s go to the beauty-treatment salon another time.

Mizuno: Yes.

Guy: Beauty secretary Yukishiro really knows the President’s skin and hair well after all, huh?

Izumi: (I see, the President meets with people often, so things like that are important too.)

Azuma: Fufu, you look very nice today, President Mizuno. Nothing but respect for my President.

Mizuno: T-thank you very much…!

Homare: Now then, these are the documents and materials to be used in the conference at noon.

Mizuno: Impressive, they’re so artistic again this time!

Homare: Why, naturally!

Tsumugi: The documents and materials Homare-san, the fine arts secretary, makes are famous both in-house and among our client companies.

Homare: I have several artistic propositions as well, so please expect them.

Mizuno: Yes! I’m looking forward to it.

Guy: Regarding the documents you will use in the conference this afternoon—. Furthermore, regarding the schedule afterwards and getting in touch with each section to communicate with the client—.

Mizuno: I understand. On that issue, there’s also…

Guy: Understood.

Tasuku: Guy-san really is prompt in what he does.

Hisoka: That’s the secretarial android for you.

Homare: He also serves as the President’s security, so he is truly reliable.

Mizuno: What do you think, Tachibana-san? A meeting with the Secretarial department goes like this.

Tsumugi: President Mizuno is very busy, so the Secretarial department provides full backup for the management of his schedule and tasks.

Mizuno: Everyone supports me by making use of the skills each of them excel at, and it’s truly such a great help.

Izumi: That’s wonderful…!

Azuma: What do you think? Would you like to join the Secretarial department and try working with us?

Homare: That would be splendid. It is sure to be exciting!

Tasuku: The work of a secretary is also rewarding.

Guy: Yes. I will teach you anything if something is unclear to you.

Hisoka: Everyone in our department goes out to have tea and drinks together too.

Tsumugi: If you’re interested, then definitely join us. Even if you end up joining a different department, please don’t hesitate to call out to us as we’ll consult with you or lend you a hand anytime.

Izumi: Right, thank you very much! (Everyone’s so amazing…!) (I wonder if I’ll be able to contribute much in this company that’s full of such impressive people…?)

Tsumugi: Huh?

Tasuku: It looks like a fluorescent light is about to go out.

Izumi: ? I hear the sound of footsteps all of a sudden...

Mizuno: …!

JSE Renaissance Week Days 2 & 3

Day 2 (June 26th):

Favorite memories day. Bring back memories of your favorite times in the community, whether they were with other community members here or with Seán himsel. Even if it’s something small or obvious!

MOTHER. FUCKING. OVERNIGHT WATCH.

I have NEVER been so focused, so enthralled, so unshakably invested in something so quickly. And it was something ARGUABLY SO STUPID. GREYSCALE LOOPING FOOTAGE. ALL NIGHT. I STAYED UP ALL NIGHT. 8 HOURS OR SOME SHIT. JUST STARING. LIKE THE OBEDIENT PUPPET WHORE I APPARENTLY AM. AND I HAD A GODDAMN BLAST.

I’d do it again in a heartbeat, and it was my first experience seeing the community band together. Screaming info, dots we connected, theories we made, updates on glitches, SLEEPING IN SHIFTS AND COVERING DIFFERENT TIMEZONES, clipping & giffing moments, screenshots, art, THE WAY WE IMAGINED OURSELVES LIKE SOME SORT OF LEGIT TEAM/ORGANIZATION WHOSE JOB WAS/IS TO MONITOR ANTI ACTIVITY LIKE SOME KINDA SCP SHIT.

For me, it made Mayhem 2018 10x more fun. It felt like slipping into an old favorite outfit that still fit perfectly comfortable like it used to. And if shit ever kicked off that hard and frequent again? Same thing. I love dutifully waiting in the wings for the slightest legit sign of REAL, not overanalyzed activity. Even if we never get anything.

Overnight Watch was AMAZING, it was my spark to become genuinely, regularly active here, and Mayhem 2018- My FAVORITE JSE memory, intensified that even more. I owe those two events for having the “platform” I do on this blog. It gave me the friends I have here and the ones I talk to every single day. Those two things will live in my heart rent free forever. <3

Day 3 (June 27th):

Theorist’s day. I know there hasn’t been much by way of canon ego content lately or for a while, but if you’ve got a favorite theory or theorist in the community, give ‘em some love today. Don’t be afraid to bounce ideas off each other, too; even just musing can lead to some incredible things!

DO YALL FUCKING REMEMBER THIS CHASE THEORY I MADE? AND SEAN RARELY INTERACTED WITH THEORY CONTENT BUT REBLOGGED THIS FOR SOME REASON?? WITHOUT CONFIRMING IT LIKE A LITTLE SHIT OF COURSE??

To this day, I think that is my best theory.

AND LEST WE NOT FORGET THIS FUCKING MOMENT. WHICH STILL HAUNTS ME.

Or this simple detail I picked up on that also ended up getting Sean-approved!

Some more theories & such of mine I really really like!

I actually forgot this one existed and just blew my own mind when I reread

This “What is Anti?” theory I made

My Corrupted Chase Rambling

The timeline of Chase possibly becoming corrupted

The chronological timeline of Chase’s appearances so far

THIS THEORY THAT TOOK ME 6 HOURS TO WRITE OUT

This big brain realization of numbers (8/3/17) that turned out to be nothing but were one hell of a coincidence I noticed

And honestly? Every time I’ve ever taken timestamped notes. Those are so helpful to people and that means everything to me. I’m very proud of them. :’)

If yall want to, send me asks about my theories & such you guys remember! Favorite ones, comments on any of them, etc. You can look at all my theory stuff neatly organized on @isas-theory-wall, and here’s a list of tags to browse it easily! My main content here has been theories, so I’d love to have a nice beefy proper discussion about them through asks :D

When it comes to other theories from fellow theorists, I can’t actually instantly recall very many. :P BUT, anything I agee with or found amazing was reblogged to my theory wall blog, so anything there that isn’t mine counts as a favorite, I guess. xD

Specific theorists I love? Well- There’s a lot. But I think I’m obligated to shout out @fear-is-nameless, @huffletrax and @rogue-of-broken-time especially, because those three (and someone no longer on Tumblr) are who ignited my interest in theorizing in the first place and are my personal go-to resources for whatever stuff I don’t catch or connect. <3 Thanks to them and their amazing brains and dedication, I myself became other people’s go-to resource, and that means so much to me.

Whether our interest, passion, ideas, or fuel has gone down or fizzled out, they still- and will always -hold a special place in my heart. Not only as fellow theorists, but as friends. <3

[gingermintpepper]

After thinking it over for a bit, I've decided that I might as well do a proper underrated 3DS game rec list. I'm a bit of an ATLUS junkie and that's gonna be pretty disgustingly apparent in this list, but it's not my fault that they released hit after hit and all of them were duly ignored.

Due to tumblr's 10 image limit (and my struggle to keep motivated to do one thing for more than three hours) I'm definitely gonna have to break this up into parts and I'm fairly certain one of these lists is just gonna be MegaTen games lmao but I'd like to let people know about these excellent titles and see if I can't at least get people interested in them so they can get more traction.

So, without further ado:

Some 3DS Games that were criminally slept on (part 1)

Monster Hunter Stories

God, where do I begin with this game. Well, the basics: It's a JRPG spinoff title of the now widely successful and popular Monster Hunter series featuring a different take on interacting with the varied and intricate monsters populating the world: Riders.

Yep, instead of hunting the beasties, you play as a young rider who's completed their intiation ritual and can now bond with 'Monsties' as they've cutely labelled the usually ferocious monsters of the wilds. The great thing is that you still fight Monsters--tons of them in fact but this isn't a paid review and in my humble opinion, the most impressive thing about this game is the visual style. The landscapes, the armour, the way they redesigned and 3DS-ified the classically hyper realistic and monstrous beasts to not only be absolutely adorable but still capable of being intimidating when the time calls for it, the stellar animation of special moves and combination attacks--it's delicious, nutritious, stupendous, I can and will consume it like it's part of my recommended caloric intake.

It's very akin to Pokemon in the way its basic gameplay premise is set up, however, instead of catching--or even indeed befriending--the Monsties in the game, you rummage through their nests and steal their eggs, later hatching them and getting yourself a brand new lightly kidnapped monster pal!

Other general things about the game:

Pros:

The armour and weapon sets for both male and female characters slap along with the general character customisation options. They're incredibly diverse (though limited in body type) and you can switch around traits and features whenever you want from your house.

The POGS--these porkers are everywhere and they serve as tiny little achievements for exploring every odd and end of the world. Also they have little outfits. They're so cute. 🥺🥺

You can actually ride the Monsties. All of em. Or, at least the ones that you have available to be your buddies. They all have exploration skills and traits that not only make exploring much more interesting but encourage you to swap out your active Monstie and play around with your options a bit.

Y'all breeding Monsties is complicated and I live for just how intense and ridiculous you can get with optimal builds for these things.

The story is really competently put together! The characters, character designs and even the internal conflict with your starting trio of characters is really compelling along with the mystery of the blight that's infecting Monsters across the world. It's not anything worth awards but it's compelling and it makes you care about the characters if that's what you're in the market for.

Amazing sound design, expansive world, everything about the presentation of this game oozes that Monster Hunter charm even if the art is cutesier than usual. You'll never get bored of its stellar visual presentation!

Available for around twenty quid on the Google Play store, so if you want, you could actually get the full game on your smartphone or tablet. Note though that it would be a battery nuker.

Cons:

If you're on a regular 3DS, frame rate drops are a given. This game kinda pushes the visual capabilities of the 3DS to its absolute limit--a lot like Okamiden did back on the DS.

One save file :( It's pretty much for the same reason as above but still.

If you're playing as the girl, you can't get male armour and vice versa. Since there's only one save file, you'll never be able to have all of the armour sets in a single playthrough and that's criminal because both of the sets for the genders are absolutely breath-taking, thank you.

I 👏can't 👏make👏my👏 own 👏Palico👏

Multi-player for this game is pretty dead seeing as it's almost five years old by now and never got much press or traction. Usually this wouldn't be an issue - this game is 99% singleplayer and you don't really need to fuss about with multi-player to have fun, but if you want to collect all the Monsties, you'll need it since the only way to get Glavenus is through pvp achievements. :/

Final thoughts: Play it if you find yourself getting tired or disappointed with 3DS Pokemon games but still want something that feels as fantastical as Pokemon. It outshines the 3DS Pokemon games at every turn and I will never be over just how thoughtfully put together and fully realised these games are. Of course, if you've ever played Monster Hunter, then you know just how intensive these games are with the lore, biology, cultures and world of their Monsters but seeing that translated into JRPG format was just very sobering and it's a game that, to this day, continues to awe me with just how much love and attention went into it.

Last note: If you're still unsure about it, there's a demo available on the e-shop of the 3DS that allows you to play through the entire initial area of the game. Your data does carry through to the full release and to give you an idea of how much I've been able to squeeze out of it - my playtime for that demo is currently sitting at 22 hours. Make sure to get a hold of that Cyan-Kut-Ku!

7th Dragon III Code: VFD

The title may sound intimidating but the premise is not! A mysterious disease called Dragon Sickness spread by the Dragonsbane flowers that have cropped up all around the world. You and your team are recruited by the Nodens game company after you display extraordinary prowess in their hit virtual reality game 7th Encount. As you go through the adventure, you are tasked with finding out the truth behind the Dragon Sickness and asked to stop both it and the Dragons that are destroying the world.

This game is fun. It's another turn-based JRPG however, in this game you create all of your characters yourself from the myriad of classes available to you from the jump. Different classes of course have very different specialisations - Samurai focus on high powered cutting damage with their swords, Duelists are summoners who can influence the element of the battlefield as well as summon monsters from each element, Agents can hack into your enemies and inflict a barrage of nasty ailments, just to name a few - and you are given three teams of three characters each to experiment with different team comps and find the balance that works for you. There's also a wide variety of Dragons to hunt and kill in the game, which directly affects how infected your world is with the Dragon Sickness causing Dragonsbane. Along the way you will also come into contact with many interesting characters, concepts and confrontations that will make the task of saving the world all the more imperative.

Pros

1. The character creator and differing classes give way for tons of experimenting and playing around with your own unique approach to combat and carrying out your missions. Granted, 'character creation' is generous, it's little more than palatte swaps but the classes are really where VFD shines. Eight main classes may not sound like a lot, but the expaniveness of the character skills, their synergy with their fellow classes and the uniqueness of some of the classes in and of itself allows for so much flexibility and creativity in approaches to even tougher bosses. It also encourages the switching about of your party members to really finagle with the options available to you.

2. God this game is pretty. The locations, the character art, the creature design - all of it is gorgeous and this game capitalises on every bit of the 3DS's presentation limitations as it can.

3. You can romance anything and everyone - yes, you can even be gay/lesbian/poly in this game. In fact, one of the main characters - Julietta - is gnc and he's a constant source of joy as well one of my personal favourite characters, right behind Yuma.

4. Exploration is very very forgiving as the game has healing spots and teleport nodes all over the world to allow for quick, seamless travel between quest points without feeling like anything is too much of a hassle. There are also special enemies that allow for quick grinding as well as quick farming of money. In general, the game does a really good job of making sure that the grind is never unbearable or inconsiderate of your time.

Cons:

1. This is the fourth game in a series the West has never seen any other title for, and from the looks of it, will probably never see any other titles for. Because of that, there are some elements that may seem confusing or revelations in the plot that may seem to come out of nowhere.

2. While the visuals are great, the OST of this one is pretty short making for a lot of reused soundtracks that can get really annoying if you're like me and need your audio to be interesting or consistent so it doesn't distract you too much.

3. This one isn't really a con but it is divisive: This game gets pretty difficult at times. A few of the main dragon enemies including and especially the final boss can give you a serious run for your money in the annoy-o-meter in terms of the kind of absolute JRPG fuckery they can pull out of their magic bag of bullshit movesets and while I generally enjoy that kind of thing, I know it's not for everyone. Most regular combat shouldn't be too tricky once you have a team comp that works well together but you also need to pay attention since the same team that carries you to victory one time might be worth beans against another dragon.

Final thoughts: This is... a really good game. Interesting story, really interesting characters, pretty world and a battle system that really makes you sit down and think. There's also a demo for this available in the e-shop and while your data doesn't carry over - you do receive multiple perks for carrying over your demo data including some exclusive items that, while not game breaking, do help a ton in the early stages of the game.

This isn't a final list by any stretch of the word; I only have the energy to do these two right now, but the next games up for coverage are Ever Oasis and Stella Glow! If you're interested in my full plan of games I want to cover here then my current lineup includes: Theatrhythm: Curtain Call, Project Mirai: Deluxe, Culdecept Revolt, Alliance Alive, Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology, Etrian Odyssey V, Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker and Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse.

Finally, if anyone has played any of the games I mention, cover or plan to cover PLEASE REACH OUT TO ME, I AM SO LONELY IN MY FORTRESS OF SAND. On a serious note, I'd love to hear what other people who've played these games think!

Thanks for reading,

Father’s Day

Tony Stark x Stark!reader

warnings: fathers

a/n: this one goes out to all my fellow readers with daddy issues, i literally cannot stand my father and guess who hasnt talked to him since december? me!!! guess who might see him on saturday?? me!!!! please help me

prompt: in a perfect world, tony stark would still be alive, living a peaceful life with his amazing wife and two beautiful children. on @moonlit-imagines, anything is possible

There was something so sweet about having a little sister to share your traditions with. Since the dawn of your time, you always tried to make Father’s Day special for your dad. Now, you got to make it extra-special with a little help from Morgan.

“Do you have his card?” You whispered to Morgan while she crawled off her bed and underneath, pulling out a decorated shoebox full of crayons. On top of the pile was her homemade card for your dad, Tony. “Oh, he’s going to love it!” You told her as she handed the glittery card up to you.

“Did you get him a card?” She asked as she latched onto your arm and pulled you out of her room and down the stairs.

“Yes, I did, it’s on the dinner table. Want me to put yours with our present?” You looked down at your sister and she gave you the nod of approval, so you set the card next to the gift and brought Morgan to the kitchen. “Alrighty, kiddo, ready to make an awesome breakfast for dad?”

“Yes!” Morgan replied with some much-appreciated enthusiasm. You rustled through the fridge to grab some eggs, milk, and butter.

“Do you know where the sugar and flour is, Morgan?” You asked as you set your ingredients on the counter. Before you knew it, the ingredients you had requested were right in front of you. “Yay! Okay, now I’m going to measure these and you get to mix ‘em, deal?”

“Deal!” Your sister stuck her hand out to shake and you gladly accepted, she was catching on pretty fast. You turned the stovetop on and began dumping ingredients into to bowl. As you requested, Morgan began her duties as the designated stirrer. You went onto another task, which was getting out the fillings for the crepes you were about to make. Whipped cream, strawberries, bananas, and chocolate syrup. You’d been making this dish every year since you were eight years old. “All done!” She announced and you observed her work.

“Nice job! Let’s get this in the pan, wanna watch?” You lifted Morgan onto the counter (a safe distance from the stove) and began pouring the batter into the pan. “You have to be really quick with these, watch.” You flipped your crepe and waited a moment before moving it to the plate. “All done with that one, but we’ve got plenty more to go.” You repeated your steps over and over until there was a stack of these crepes on the plate beside you, now it was Morgan’s turn to participate again.

“What can I do?” She asked with a tilt of her head and you handed her everything she needed for the filling.

“You can put the good stuff on!” You told her and got out four more plates, one for each family member. “Just spray the whipped cream right down the middle...just like that!” You demonstrated, she was a quick learner. While she did that, you cut up the fruit and placed them on each crepe before wrapping them up. Next step was a long drizzle of chocolate syrup aaaand...done! “Give me a high five, little sister.” Her tiny hand collided with yours. “Want some juice?”

“Juice pop?” She suggested as a counter offer.

“Too early, how about orange juice. Go get some cups.” You told her and grabbed the juice.

“Mmm, smells good down here.” You heard Tony stepping down the stairs with Pepper and without missing a beat, you and your sisters screamed:

“Happy Father’s Day!” Your shouting lit up your dad’s face and Morgan crashed into him for his morning hugs.

“Thank you, my beautiful children, couldn’t have done it without you.” He sat down in his usual seat and looked at the masterpiece made for him. “I see you’ve taught Morgan one of your best traditions, y/n?”

“You bet!” You smiled and watched Morgan slide all of his gifts his way.

“You guys are so sweet.” Pepper looked over Tony’s shoulder at the cards you two had given to your dad. They really were enough to make a grown man cry. You and Morgan finally took your seats at the table and waited for your dad’s reaction.

“Did you make this all by yourself, Morgan? It’s a work of art!” Tony complimented and blew his youngest a kiss. “Thank you so much, sweetie. I love it!” He set her card down and grabbed yours, slipping it out of it’s envelope. His eyes scanned over the front and he flipped inside, reading the handwritten words you left for him inside.

Dear Dad,

We’ve had some crazy times over the years and I’m so thankful for them, good and bad. No matter what, you’ve always been there for me and I find comfort in that fact every day. Obviously, I’m here for you, too. I don’t know what we’d do without each other, honestly. Probably something dumber than we’ve ever thought up before. It’s nice to know that I have the coolest dad to ever walk this Earth, I hope you know how much I love you.

-Y/N

Tony stared at your writing for another minute with his hand covering the biggest, dumbest grin he had ever been able to show. He blinked back his happy tears and shut the card, placing it back on the table.

“I love you, too, y/n. Thank you for the card.” You could hear a slight quiver in his voice, he always got choked up after he read your cards.

“Open it, open it!” Morgan cheered and tapped on the wrapped box in front of him. Pepper rubbed her husband’s back as he reached over for it.”

“Okay, okay, let’s see what we’ve got here.” Tony unwrapped the box and opened it to find a lovely framed picture of his two favorite kids in the whole wide world, “Well, who could that be?” He asked sarcastically.

“It’s me and y/n!” Morgan stood up on her chair and smiled proudly while you held onto her leg making sure she didn’t fall.

“No way! Really? You two are so cute.” He gushed over the picture and set it aside, then pushed through the wrapping paper to find (drumroll, please), another silly tie! This time, it was picked out by Morgan herself. She thought unicorns were the obvious way to go.

“Morgan had creativity control this year, the second she saw it, she knew it was perfect for you.” You leaned on your propped up hand and watched your dad smile as he looked at the unicorn print.

“No kidding! It’s amazing, I love it!” He told you and your sister before climbing out of his chair to give each of you a kiss on the top of the head. “Thank you for another wonderful Father’s Day, now let’s dig into these crepes.”

Jungle Moved

Predator and CloneWars Crossover

This is a Predator and CloneWars Crossover fic inspired by this amazing art that was done by my friend @scuttlebuttin​! This is just a quick little summery of the story, along with some notes and warnings. Please read this before reading my fic. 

Summery by: @scuttlebuttin​

~The Bad Batch, Wolffe, Gree, and Fives are not in StarWars anymore. They’re secretly trying to rescue a group of politicians trapped in Guatemala. But when the men land in Central America something is gravely wrong. After finding a string of dead bodies, the crew discovers they are being hunted by a brutal creature with superhuman strength and the ability to disappear into its surroundings.

Better run through your jungle, boys. Don’t look back to see or else you become a shish kabob~

Notes and warnings under the cut. Please please read them.

Notes: This is not in the StarWars universe, this is Earth, 1987. Instead of Ducth and his men running into the fearsome predator it’s Wolffe, Fives, and the four members of the Bad Batch, and Instead of Dillion it’s Commander Gree. If you’ve seen the movie you’ll notice that the this fic is just the movie rewritten with CloneWars characters. I changed some stuff up though! Don’t worry! Keep in mind that I obviously do not own this story plot or the Predator alien. I am just a simple nerd who wrote this for fun! 

The creator of the wonderful art did the character designs, so that’s how they look in this story lol. They also chose the female role to be played by Steela Gerra! The Predator is the same, I couldn’t change up Jungle Hunter!! The Predator species is called Yautja, and I will use this word in the story often. The Predator is a male and his name is Jungle Hunter, so he’ll often go by his name, his species name, and names like beast or creature. Just look him up if you’ve never seen the movie, I explain how he looks but it isn’t the same as a picture of him. I know there’s a gif of him on here but still look em’ up! 

I loosely based the characters off the originals from the movie! You’ll probably be able to tell the roles though. I did do  a list just in case!! They will not be exact!! I moved some dialogue around and what not. This is like the movie but it is not exact. I’ve seen the movie a million times and watched it again when I wrote this so I could get everything right. But I added my own twists because I could lol 

Character clarification: 

Dutch=Wolffe 

Dillion=Gree 

Poncho=Fives

Hawkins=Tech 

Blain=Wrecker

Mac=Crosshair 

Billy=Hunter 

Anna Gonsalves=Steela Gerra 

Jungle hunter/Predator= Still Jungle Hunter 

Warnings:

This story will have terrible language and major character death. I am a gross person so I got really nasty and gory in some parts. If you’ve seen the movie you know that there is tobacco use and a lot of guns. Please be aware of these warnings before reading! The warnings will be the same for each chapter so nothing gets spoiled, but the warnings still apply to every chapter. People die and shit gets gross. I hope you all enjoy! 

Again, the plot of this story is not mine and neither is the Predator alien or it’s design. Most of the dialogue and actions are not mine as well. The character designs and choices were done by @scuttlebuttin​. We just did this for fun!

sing our love from the rooftops

Author’s note: This is my response for @tog-valentine-exchange! This response is for @jill-8-7 (who’s art is amazing, go check it out!!) and their artwork. I’m sorry for this being a little late, but hopefully the fic’s good enough to make up for it! My first go at a songfic, but I feel pretty good about how it turned out! Listen to Love Someone by Lukas Graham here. (Also, this can sortof (?) be read as a peek into (epilogue actually, haha) to my fic for Vih and Eevee’s Honey Lavender AU which... has turned out to be quite a monster, so apologies to both of you for taking so long to finish it! I really hope that it’ll blow you away once I’ve finished!!) Fandom: Tower of God (Read the Webtoon here!) Pairing: Khun Aguero Agnis/The Twenty-Fifth Baam Word Count: 2,633

Summary: Khun may be new to relationships, but he knows missing Valentine’s Day with his partner for work is a really shitty thing to do. So he’s planning on making up for it with a surprise that’s sure to sweep Baam right off his feet. Everything’s laid out perfectly, but Baam manages to beat him to the punch anyway.

Khun taps his foot impatiently and checks his watch. Half an hour to go, he thinks to himself. This damn meeting is dragging on like molasses, even though he’s already worked out an arrangement with Shibisu so he can get out of this one earlier.

It’s not that he doesn’t like his job: quite the opposite really, this business is something he’s poured years into building from the ground up. It’s quite simple, even if there are some days that are a little too reminiscent of a childhood he’d rather not think about, and much of it comes with practiced ease now.

No, it’s not that at all, it’s just that his whole life was turned upside down almost two years ago now by a certain man with the brightest golden eyes, and he finds himself looking forward to frivolous, overly sentimental things like Valentine’s Day despite himself. He knows that this meeting is important (there was a reason that he resorted to scheduling it today of all days, after all) and that he has a surprise planned out for his partner to make up for not being able to spend today with him.

Just half an hour more and I’ll be on my way to see him, Khun reasons, trying to force himself to pay attention to this meeting, when they’re interrupted by a knock on the door.

They enter briefly, and it’s a member of security, “Mr. Khun, I need to speak to you privately for just a minute.”

She tells him that someone’s requesting his presence from the ground floor, claiming to be his partner and that they’re incredibly persistent. Khun feels like his eyebrows might be touching his hairline right now and he’s about to dismiss her, that’s impossible, he wants to say, and it wouldn’t be a lie but she goes on to say, “He says his name is Jue Viole Grace.”

And that’s — Khun feels his world stop for a moment. This… this could be a real problem: he’d not even told his closest friends about Baam and had gone to great lengths to make sure their relationship remained private, something untouched by this messy life of constant competition, how could anyone know?

Despite the turmoil in his head, Khun manages to answer, “Thank you very much, though I’ll deal with this personally,” and walks back into the conference room to excuse himself briefly before making his way to the attached balcony. If he remembers right (which he always does), his car is parked on this side of the building and should be readily visible from this balcony. If the imposter wants his attention, he’d either be there or near his car, and there’s no harm in checking from here first, especially since they mostly likely wish him harm.

Peering over the balcony, Khun sees he was right, they’re just by his car and — he has no idea how he knows this, the figure’s much too small from all the way up here to see properly but it just clicks in his head with a terrifyingly overwhelming certainty that this is Baam, he’s staring right at the real thing, Baam’s right here looking up at him and waving excitedly, that’s impossible, how —

His phone’s ringing — no, Baam’s calling him. When he answers, he can’t even mask his shock when he asks, “Baam? How the hell—”

“Sorry to pull you out of work Khun!” he chirps back, not sounding the least bit sorry, “I wanted to surprise you for Valentine’s Day!”

What the fuck.

“But, Baam, you’re supposed to be — You told me you have a gig tonight at Endorsi’s place, it’d be crowded as all hell, and you flew across the country to see me?”

“Yup!” And Baam’s unpacking his guitar.

Wait. He’s unpacking his guitar.

“Are you crazy? You’re going to serenade me right here and now?”

“Oh, great, I was wondering how to explain this. It’s kinda awkward, y’know, I tried phrasing it a few different ways and none of them really clicked. I’m glad I don’t have to—”

“You can’t be serious, I swear, Baam, one of these days—”

“Put your headphones in! You’ll be able to hear me a little more clearly.”

Khun grumbles a bit to himself as he does, determined to express his indignation despite his shock, and Baam only laughs at him.

“Okay, they’re in. You’re so on, by the way.”

Baam just huffs and puts his phone in his pocket, and Khun doesn’t even need to look at his face to know he’s understood.

He waits patiently as Baam tunes the guitar and meets him with a challenging lilt to his voice as he asks, “Can you hear me okay?”

“Loud and clear.”

As Baam plays the first few notes, Khun can’t see his face from where he’s standing at the balcony’s edge, but he’s seen Baam play so many times he already knows how serenely focused his eyes are, the relaxed and confident set of his shoulders, the involuntary quirk of his lips as he loses himself in playing. He never gets tired of seeing it, and he wishes he could see it again right now. He thinks he’s already heard this song before, its opening is familiar but he can’t hope to place it right now, but he’s reminded again when Baam starts to sing that it doesn’t matter, this version — Baam’s voice, even tinny and distorted through the phone’s mic, a little muffled by the fabric of his shirt pocket — will be more beautiful than any original he’s heard.

There are days, I wake up and I pinch myself You're with me, not someone else

“Who else would there be but you?” He means it sarcastically, to poke fun at his choice of song in this game they’ve played for years now, but it comes out horribly dopey and fond instead and Khun suddenly feels his cheeks burn. Baam’s late for a chord for a fraction of a second anyway, so it’s not an entire failure.

And I’m scared, yeah, I'm still scared, that it's all a dream

“A damn good dream, I’d say,” Khun manages in the haughtiest tone he can muster at the moment and that gets Baam’s voice to crack a little with suppressed giggles, but his playing’s still flawless as always.

'Cause you still look perfect as days go by

“Please, that’s a given.”

Even the worst ones, you make me smile I'd stop the world if it gave us time

Khun’s about to say something snarky again despite how deeply the sentiment resonated with him, but the way Baam’s voice swells at the chorus tears away his pretense.

'Cause when you love someone, you open up your heart When you love someone, you make room If you love someone, and you're not afraid to lose 'em You’ve probably never loved someone like I do When you say You love the way I make you feel Everything becomes so real Don't be scared, no, don't be scared 'Cause you're all I need

(Privately, Khun admits defeat this time, because he doesn’t think he could muster a witty comment, a sufficiently steady voice, or even the will to compete right now despite all his pride.)

And you still look perfect as days go by Even the worst ones, you make me smile I'd stop the world if it gave us time 'Cause when you love someone, you open up your heart When you love someone, you make room If you love someone, and you're not afraid to lose 'em You’ve probably never loved someone like I do All my life I thought it'd be hard to find the one 'til I found you And I find it bittersweet 'Cause you gave me something to lose

Khun feels himself straighten before he registers commanding himself to do so, because that’s it — that’s what Baam’s trying to tell him. For a split second, he’s taken back two years and three hours before, a conversation asking about Baam how he chose songs to learn, a light voice on a hot desert breeze saying “there’s always one bit, a whole verse or a few words, one bit of the song that tells you plainly what they’re trying to say.”

He doesn’t know how he knows, there’s no evidence to suggest such, but Khun feels it like a punch to the solar plexus: this is that part. This is what Baam’s been trying to say, what he’s telling him now: It’s you, it’s you, it’s always been you. When we met the first time, my heart remembered the shape of yours from somewhere our eyes have never seen; we’ll never be favored by the stars but I’ll fight each day for us; everything beautiful reminds me of you because I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you more than I can ever show you in ten thousand lifetimes, so I’ll love you every day of this one and hope you understand.

But when you love someone, you open up your heart When you love someone, you make room If you love someone, and you're not afraid to lose 'em You’ve probably never loved someone like I do

When Baam finishes, he looks up at Khun, and he doesn’t even need to see his face to know he looks shy and sheepish like the reality of the situation’s finally hit him and Khun — Khun can hardly even speak. He’s certain he looks like a complete moron, gaping mouth and openly flabbergasted, but he can’t even bring himself to care. Before he knows it, his feet are carrying him away from the balcony and back into the still-busy conference room. He thinks Shibisu’s trying to speak with him and he’s distantly aware of Baam calling out to him in his headphones, and fuck, this is so fucking stupid, Khun’s never this impulsive —

He rushes out the door anyway, making a beeline for the elevator (he briefly considers the stairs when he passes by them on the way and has to focus to turn his brain on momentarily and think of how many damn stories there are in the building to decide against it) and slams the button for the ground floor. He can hardly stand still as it goes down, tapping his foot and checking his watch and oh, Baam’s disconnected the call, and his hands are shaking (absently, the rational part of his mind thinks it’s amusing how closely what he’s experiencing now resembles a panic attack) and fuck, this is still so goddamn stupid, and fucking finally, the elevator’s stopped at the ground floor. Before the doors even open all the way, he’s gone, sprinting through the front door and around the side of the building to where he parked this morning and he sees Baam, zipping up his guitar case and he looks ethereal now that he can see him up close —

“Aguero?”

And Khun feels the last of his sanity snap in two as he just grabs Baam by the collar and kisses him so hard he can feel the way Baam yelps in surprise in each of his teeth. His lungs are burning and his heart’s pounding in his throat, already winded from running so fast, but he still can’t bring himself to care.

Baam’s the one to break the kiss, breathy and concerned, “Aguero? What are you…?”

And damn, Khun realizes he has to give him answers.

Say something! “You’re fucking ridiculous.” Not that.

Baam looks more than a little offended. That’s… appropriate.

“Absolutely and totally impossible, I fucking hate you so, so much,” Khun knows he’s rambling nonsense, but Baam’s gotten him choked up and unable to even comprehend what he’s feeling right now, much less express it in words, so he just kisses him again and hopes he understands.

He breaks the kiss again (he doesn’t get it, obviously, because he’s not making any sense) and replies, “You’re telling me two very different things here, Aguero.”

Wait. What?

Khun forces his brain back online through sheer willpower and really, properly looks at Baam, and — this bastard’s smiling of all things right now, he looks like he’s about to burst out laughing any moment now. “You’re the worst. You know that?”

And he does burst out laughing, and it sounds like a million bells chiming in the most euphonious orchestra in the most irritating way possible. “I hate you so much — I have a ticket for a flight for LA in two hours and a rental car waiting for me, I made arrangements to work remotely for the next week to make up for today, I was going to — stop laughing at me!” He means it seriously, but he’s so giddy right now, he’s certain he’s grinning wide like a fool.

Baam exaggeratedly wipes tears from his eyes and wheezes out, “You scared me! I thought you were mad at me—”

“I am mad at you! You ruined my surprise!”

And Baam’s laughing again and Khun can’t figure out if he wants to kick him or kiss him again, but he redeems himself (just a bit) when he says, “I’m sorry! I’ll help you get a refund on that plane ticket if you want.”

“That’s not what I care about here, Baam!” That only makes Baam laugh harder, and okay, Khun has to admit, this entire situation is frankly ridiculous, and he starts laughing with him before he can catch himself.

After a few moments, Khun manages to collect himself enough to retort, “I’m definitely doing something else to make up for it.”

Baam looks at him curiously as Khun pulls his keys from his pocket with a flourish. “You mean right now?” he asks incredulously, “But what about your —”

And, well. Khun’s definitely not about to admit Baam made him forget about work entirely. But he’s saved from having to think of a decent cover because as if on cue, Khun’s phone starts ringing with a call from Shibisu.

“Khun? What the hell’s going on, you just disappeared, is that —”

“Shibisu, wait, listen.” At this point, Khun knows Shibisu well enough to know that if he doesn’t cut him off now, he’ll never stop asking questions. “I need you to manage the rest of it. You’ll be fine, it’s just a little earlier from when I had to take off anyway—”

“Yeah, I know, but, Khun, what’s actually going on? Don’t tell me—”

Khun just looks Baam in the eye and winks at him when he answers, “I’ve got something a lot more important to tend to.” Baam flushes bright red but beams at him anyway and Khun barely tamps down the urge to coo at how cute his partner is.

The other line’s silent, but it seems like Shibisu gets it because he sighs, dramatic and long-suffering, before muttering, “I really should’ve taken Hatz up on that bet, he’d owe me money right now.” Khun’s grips the phone a little tighter in irritation, but he makes a note to reward him somehow for not taking the bet before Shibisu continues. “Yeah, I’ll take care of it. But you owe me the presentation in two weeks and one hell of an explanation.”

Khun doesn’t even think before he answers, “Deal.” He still hates cashing out his end of a bargain first, being indebted to someone rather than having others owe him, but when Baam beams at him as he pockets his phone again, Khun thinks it’s really not all that bad.

“Come on, lover boy,” Khun teases as he spins his keys once and unlocks his car, “you showed me LA last time, it’s your turn to see New York City.”

Daisy Jones & The Six

The book follows via interview the many things that happened between a band that broke up abruptly without anyone knowing the reason behind it, until now.

We get too hear from each band member what it was like to be on the band, the things that happened, the way they felt and why they ended the band.

I don’t know why people don’t talk about this book more, I know The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is the most famous book by the author, but I think it should be Daisy Jones & The Six.

The characters of this book feel so human and so vulnerable to us, Daisy made me feel the way an empowered woman with a lot of issues can make you feel. Camila was just amazing and was everything I’d like to be as a person (except for the mom part), Karen was just so powerful and Simone such a good friend. I was tearing up while reading this book because the author did such a good job in portraying relationships between women, they weren’t fighting with each other, they all just had very complex feelings.

Daisy specially had her complex feelings she shared with Billy, Camila’s husband, it was killing them slowly but it made them as good as they were.

What I definitely loved the most was the great portrayal of women and the portrayal of love in a light we rarely see it, not as a wonderful perfect ever after, but as a raw, have-to-work-for-it way, it was everything and more than what I expected of this book. I didn’t expect to get so attached to the characters or to feel so emotional to see the different relationships or to feel so happy to see women of different life paths all living happily in the end.

I’m quite picky with the books I give five stars to, but I think his book deserves it. It might also be my most annotated book, so I’ll try to chose only my favorite quotes to end this review without writing the whole book. I also want the audiobook now, I feel like it will be interesting.

« I had absolutely no interest in being somebody else’s muse.

I am not a muse.

I am the somebody.

End of fucking story. »

« Men often think they deserve a sticker for treating women like people. »

« And you can’t put it in your heart if it’s not there.

And you can’t pull it out of your heart if it is.

And it was in Camila’s heart. »

« I think you have to have faith in people before they earn it. Otherwise it’s not faith, right? »

« I wore what I wanted when I wanted. I did what I wanted with who I wanted. And if somebody didn’t like it, screw ’em. »

« if you redeem yourself, then believe in your own redemption. »

« I used to care when men called me difficult. I really did. Then I stopped. This way is better. »

« It’s like some of us are chasing after our nightmares the way other people chase dreams. »

« It hurts to care about someone more than they care about themselves. »

« Art doesn’t owe anything to anyone. »

« I wish someone had told me that love isn’t torture. Because I thought love was this thing that was supposed to tear you in two and leave you heartbroken and make your heart race in the worst way. I thought love was bombs and tears and blood. I did not know that it was supposed to make you lighter, not heavier. I didn’t know it was supposed to take only the kind of work that makes you softer. I thought love was war. I didn’t know it was supposed to … I didn’t know it was supposed to be peace. »

« All I will say is that you show up for your friends on their hardest days. And you hold their hand through the roughest parts. Life is about who is holding your hand and, I think, whose hand you commit to holding. »

« You’re all sorts of things you don’t even know yet. »
