First Date

Featuring Nagi, Isagi, Bachira, Rin, Sae, and Reo with Gn!Reader

Nagi

Has no idea what it means to date since he’s never been interested in the idea thinking it was a hassle to deal with

But when he met you, he realized that just being with you isn’t a hassle at all

He did everything he could to just be near you and keep you company

Little did he know you enjoyed it a lot more than he believed

As time went on, you both became so comfortable with each other’s presence that you naturally sought each other out

You went to every practice and game cheering Nagi and Reo on

Ngl Nagi wanted you to only cheer for him during games

Everywhere either one of you went, the other went with

Nagi’s love languages are touch and quality time so he prefers to always be touching you when he spends time with you

Always insists that you hold hands when you walk anywhere

Even with all of this, it took him a while to confess to you (Reo had to have MANY talks to boost his confidence) and when he did, he was so happy when you said you liked him too. Sweet bb’s ears were red the entire time ❤️

After contemplating, he decided to take you to the arcade so that he can combine two out of three things he loves: games and you

He plays co-op games with you and anything that wasn’t co-op, he had you sit on his lap to include you when it came to racing games and would slouch into your back resting his head on yours for games that require standing

Would win you everything you wanted in crane games

You left with at least two or three bags of stuffed animals of different sizes, your absolute favorite one being an axolotl dressed in a whale shark outfit (a/n my friend won this for me and it’s literally the cutest), which you keep out of the bag so you can hug it with one arm while your other hand is busy holding Nagi’s

Nagi would watch you while you’re hugging the axolotl plush and would smile thinking of how cute you were

After the arcade, he treated you to coffee while buying lemon tea for himself

You were curious how it tasted so before Nagi could offer a taste, you immediately attack by leaning over and taking a sip

The way Nagi’s heart was beating made him believe he was having a heart attack

He would walk you home even though he lived in the opposite direction

After you put the bags of prizes into the hall, you turn to tell Nagi you had a great time but a word didn’t come out because Nagi had placed his hand on your cheek and pressed his lips against yours

It was an awkward first kiss because your teeth crashed into each other, which had you giggling against his lips which he absolutely loved the feel of

Your first kiss together was better than you both could ever imagine. Nagi could kiss you forever if he could

Isagi

Please help this poor boy he’s such a nervous wreck around you

He first noticed you when you decided to join as a manager in his high school’s football team

You were always so kind and beautiful that Isagi fell more in love with your personality and spirit rather than your looks, not that you weren’t physically beautiful

He hadn’t even realized you two were in the same class literally 5 seats away from each other

And when he noticed this the poor boy kept stealing glances at you every chance he could, which you knew because you also stole glances at him

He has the biggest crush on you and he couldn’t form a sentence around you, which you found cute

One day while you were both on cleaning duty, his nerves got the better of him and he ended up yelling his confession to you while looking down to hide how red his face was

After a moment of silence due to the suddenly loud confession, you giggled. You walked over to him and gently lifted his head so he could look at you

Face still red out of both love and embarrassment, he felt like his heart could burst out of his chest when you confessed your feelings right back to him

You decided to go on a date that day after practice

Your first date was simple, walking hand in hand to a takoyaki stand and munching on your treat while talking and joking around as he walked you home

It was such a simple date, but just being together was what made it a perfect first date for you both

As soon as he walks you to his doorstep, he overthinks on whether he should kiss you or not and ends up thinking that it would be better to wait so he turns to leave

You stop him by grabbing his uniform jacket, which surprises him

He starts to ask what was wrong only to be silenced by the feel of you pressing your lips against his

He immediately leans into your kiss, wrapping his arms around your waist while your arms wrap around his neck

When you both pull away, both of you are blushing, which you both notice when you stare into each other’s eyes

Isagi has the biggest smile on his face as his eyes soften and is sparkling

Gives you another kiss before resting his forehead against yours to tell you goodnight

You lean into his forehead and tell him the same before you both begrudgingly let go and disappear into your home

Isagi being the lovable dork that he is waits until your door shuts before jumping and throwing his fists in the air

Little did he know you saw the entire thing through your window. He truly was so cute

Bachira

Being the outcast in school, he never believed anyone would like him

He had the biggest crush on you though, but due to his insecurities he kept those feelings to himself

In fact, it was you who confessed first. You had noticed him before playing football by himself while having the biggest grin on his face and that made you swoon like none other

So when you asked Bachira to meet you in the stairwell after school, he thought he did something wrong to upset you and wanted to tell him to stop being creepy with his staring

Boy when you confessed to him, he was dumbstruck for a second. It wasn’t what he expected at all

Seeing how earnest you were with your confession, his heart filled with so much love and that grin you fell for appeared on his face as he confessed to you as well

This made your face go red. You didn’t expect him to reciprocate your feelings!

Unable to contain his love and excitement, he hugged you so tightly. You wrapped your arms around him as your heart filled with so much love

Your first date happened on a weekend, which Bachira brought you to his home so you both could paint together

When you met his mother, your heart felt like it was going to pop out of your chest you were so nervous

His mother was beautiful and she immediately hugged you. She was so happy to hear that Bachira had found someone who liked him for him

You didn’t expect to meet your favorite artist so you end up freezing. You didn’t put two and two together when you started to notice Bachira

Whining, Bachira complained while holding your hand that his mom was taking all of your attention while pouting. It was the cutest expression you’ve ever seen from him and your eyes sparkled

Laughing, his mom let go of you and told you to have fun since she had errands to do and supplies to buy

Bachira took you to the art room where he paints, which was a different room than where his mom paints

Putting two canvases up, he suggested that you paint something you found beautiful

Unbeknownst to you, Bachira was painting you while you were painting him

After finishing your paintings hours later and revealing them to each other, you both didn’t realize you were painting the other

When Bachira saw his painting of you, his heart skipped several beats. He ended up dropping the canvas and ran to you, pulling you into a kiss, which you happily leaned into

He hugged you so tightly while you kissed to get you as close to him as you could and you loved every second of it

When he pulled away, you chased after him and kissed him again, your heart so full of just as much love as his

You knew you chose well when it came to crushes. He had exceeded your expectations and you fell hopelessly in love and Bachira felt the same

Finally pulling away from each other, you laid your head on his chest, listening to the sound of his heart racing and you smiled knowing that it wasn’t just you whose heart was racing

Once his mom came home, she caught you two hugging each other and she ended up running in to join

Both you and Bachira ended up laughing

After staying for dinner, Bachira walked you home, holding your hand

Once you got to your doorstep, you looked up at him to find that he was staring at you while smiling. You noticed that his eyes had glossed over, full of adoration and love

You gently held his cheeks and pulled him into you for a kiss. You were already addicted to his lips and could kiss him forever

He leaned into you, wrapping his arms around you. Little did you know he felt the same

Saying your goodbyes, he watches you close the door and ends up grinning to himself. He felt so lucky being given the opportunity to date you

Once he’s home, he texts you with a question that you didn’t expect to receive:

Meguru ❤️: Hey (Y/N) when we’re in school do you want me to keep away from you? I don’t want to ruin your reputation :((

(Y/N): What?! No! I’m not going to hide you from anyone. We’re dating and if anyone has a problem with it they can take it up with me! ):<

(Y/N): I will literally fight them

Bachira giggled at your text. He knew he was an outcast and you had plenty of friends in school. He was worried he would tarnish that so seeing your response filled him with glee

The next day at school, when your friends watched you and Bachira walk to class hand in hand, hugging when you had to go to your separate classes, you were bombarded

True to your word, you ended up lecturing your friends and anyone who listened shaming them for treating Bachira like an outcast just for being different when everyone is different from each other

Everyone fell silent and little did you and Bachira know, the lecture was spread around the school and Bachira ended up being talked to by others trying to get to know him and apologizing to him

He knew you kept your word and the feeling made his heart full

Rin

Mr. Stoic here never believed he would find love since his focus was on football and becoming better than his brother

Literally bumping into you changed that as you were reading while walking and he was looking at his phone

He ended up catching you so you wouldn’t fall and ended up staring into your eyes

He wanted to ask if you were ok but what came out of his mouth was “Watch where you’re going. You’re going to die reading and walking.”

What he didn’t expect was you giggling and thanking him, picking up the book you dropped

Ron noticed it was his favorite horror book that you were reading and his eyes widened a bit before going back to his emotionless expression

Nervous, he asked if you also liked horror, which to his surprise, you said yes with sparkling eyes

You ended up going on a rant about the best horror directors and books, which Rin argued with

During the argument, Rin ended up blurting out “I’ll make you eat those words. Come over to my place on the weekend and I’ll show you the best horror directors and authors!” before storming off

It took a bit for him to realize he just asked you out and his cheeks and ears turned red

You yelled after him “I don’t even know where you live!”

Rin about faced and stormed back to you, holding out his phone for you to exchange numbers, looking away with a blush still on his face

You giggled and held yours out as well, both of your phones connecting to each other and sharing your profile and number with each other

After hearing the beep, Rin stormed away once again

Later that night while you were doing your homework, your phone pinged to let you know that you received a text from Rin:

Rin Itoshi: {address}

Rin Itoshi: 2pm Sunday. Don’t be late

Chuckling over the abrupt texts, you responded

(Y/N): So serious! You must be determined to prove me wrong ;P

How dare you? Rin thought, his face bright red, not even bothering to answer

He kept glancing at his phone though, getting restless before he picked up his phone again and responded:

Rin Itoshi: Prepare to eat your words

(Y/N): Prepare to eat yours!

Rin’s lips pulled up into a smile as he chuckled. Then he stopped

Rin? Smile? Laugh?

What was going on with him? Rin felt his face flush as his heart skipped a beat.

Sunday came around and as Rin expected, you arrived at 2pm on the dot, holding a bag of snacks, movies, and books to share

“Let’s get started!” You said, grinning. Rin felt his ears get hot and he ended up pushing his hair away, trying to hide his ears from you

As Rin led you to his room to watch movies, you started with Rin’s favorite movie, The Shining

And let me tell you, it was secretly one of your favorite movies but you weren’t about to admit that to him. This was a competition and you weren’t about to let him win

Afterwards, you would watch a movie you recommend and would switch between his and your recommendations

Rin actually enjoyed the ones you chose, but his competitive nature, he wasn’t going to admit that

Both of you were so determined to defeat each other that you ended up having fun somehow?

Both of you were ribbing the other’s movie choice even though you both loved each other’s choices

It was you who broke first when the last of the movie was played and you muttered how Rin had chosen some great movies

Unfortunately Rin heard you and teased you about it to no end

You puffed your cheeks and pouted at his teasing, pretending to be upset, which just made him laugh

His laughter literally surprised you and you looked at him with wide eyes. He looked so beautiful with a natural smile and laugh and it made your cheeks turn pink

The stoic Rin laughing? You never thought this day would come

Rin tilted his head and looked at you wondering if he did actually upset you with his teasing until he saw your cheeks were pink

This literally shocked him and he ended up looking away, his cheeks and ears turning the same shade of pink

Only this time you noticed and it made your heart skip a beat

After you both regained your composure, you went on to exchange books with each other

Eventually, it was time for you to go home and Rin’s mom “forced” him to walk you home, carrying the bag of books he exchanged with you

The entire walk home, you both talked about the parts you liked in each movie. Because you were having so much fun, the walk was quick. Too quick

As you stood at your doorstep, you thanked Rin for showing you a great time and for walking you home to which he just hummed with a nod before turning and walking away

Gathering up the courage, you chased after him immediately, calling out to him

He stopped and turned in time for you to lean up and kiss his cheek before running back to your home, not even stopping until you were inside with the door shut

Rin was flabbergasted as he touched the cheek you kissed, still feeling your lips. This time, his entire face turned red and he continued his walk home, his heart racing a mile a minute

Meanwhile you were in your room with the door shut, sitting on the ground against it with your hands covering your bright red face

You felt your phone vibrate and you pulled it out to see a text from Rin:

Rin Itoshi: You better watch out. I’ll make you pay for this by paying this back ten-fold

Your face ended up turning an ever deeper shade of red as you internally scream

Sae

The eldest Mr. Stoic

You were the manager for the team in Spain and the day he noticed you was the day his life changed forever

Not to be dramatic but FOREVER

He didn’t have any interest in others, especially after moving to Spain and realizing the difference between him and his teammates, causing him to want to change his position to midfielder

You were the new manager as the other one quit and to say you were the most beautiful thing Sae had ever seen was an understatement but you were the most beautiful person he’d ever seen

After practice, you walked up to Sae as he was drinking his water to hand him a towel to wipe the sweat off his face with a sweet smile

Sae’s eyes widened a bit before looking away with a blush on his face while muttering a “Thank you”

Afterwards, you went on to bring towels to the rest of the team, which bothered Sae

After a few weeks of his crush developing, he decided to finally admit it to you

After a game with you cheering them on, Sae had played better than before due to your cheers and it ended with them winning

You were there with drinks and towels, handing them out, Sae was first just so he could be the first one to touch you as he took the water bottle and towel

As soon as one of his teammates did the same while complimenting you saying they won thanks to her cheers, let me tell you Sae’s teal eyes turned a shade of green as he stormed towards you, shoving the towels in your hands to the assistant coach before grabbing you by the hand and pulling you away into the hall leading to the locker room

He ended up pinning you against the wall, the stereotypical forearm against the wall as he looked down at you

Let me tell you the way you looked up at him with those beautiful (e/c) eyes made him weak. He wanted to kiss you right then and there but controlled himself

You patiently waited for him to speak, tilting your head to the side a bit

Sae just stared at you, once again gathering the courage to confess

“Is everything ok Sae?” you finally asked, bringing the towel around his shoulders to wipe some sweat off of his face

That’s when Sae lost it

He grabbed the hand that was holding the towel and pulled you towards him, his lips connecting with yours

What he didn’t expect though was you immediately leaning into the kiss

Once he pulls away, he keeps his face close to you, only a breath away

“Don’t let any other man touch you. You’re mine.” Sae growled

Literally he just made your knees shake with that growl

After that, he properly asks you on a date after being teased constantly by his team

Your first date included a walk on the beach hand in hand

You were on the hunt for tide pools as you loved them and the life inside them

Sae, who questions your search, discovers why you love them when you finally found one

The aquatic life that included starfish, sea anemones, clown fish, and other life forms fascinated Sae

You wanted to take a picture together in front of the tide pool and he happily obliged

Ended up asking someone to take a photo of you two and include the tide pool

He hugs you from behind as you smile for the camera

Unbeknownst to you until Sae sends you the photo, he was looking at you with adoration in the picture

After that, you both ended up taking lots of pictures of tide pools, each other, and the two of you together

Sae absolutely asks for matching lock screens to which you happily agree with

You finish the date with dinner at a fancy restaurant that overlooked the ocean you were just visiting

As Sae drove you home, you both spoke each other’s ear off. You’ve never heard Sae talk this much as he usually kept to himself

Sae wanting to be a gentleman opened the car door for you and walked you up to your doorstep

Held your hand and looked you in the eyes. Sae thanked you for agreeing to go on a date with him

You smiled and told him that you would have gone on a million dates with him if he had asked sooner

It took Sae a bit to realize that you were confessing to him, which once he realized it, his cheeks turned red, causing you to laugh

Muttering, Sae placed his hands on your cheeks and quieted your laughter with a kiss, which you leaned into as you placed your hands on Sae’s

Reo

You know it we all know it but this mf is popular

Unfortunately you’re not and while you’ve crushed on him for a while but due to your insecurities, you never tried to approach him

But Reo noticed you

You were the most beautiful person he had ever laid his eyes on

Like that one line from Terrible Things by Mayday Parade “The most beautiful woman that I’ve ever seen” Yeah that’s you but you know, gn

He’s been wanting to talk to you, but nerves and being surrounded prevents him from doing so

However, he has a plan and he uses his bestie Nagi

Nagi ends up approaching you and asks you to meet him behind the gym

While you were friends with Nagi, you had no idea why he wanted you to meet there

So when you went to the gym only to see Reo, it all made sense and your ears ended up turning red at the tip

Reo noticed this and a blush appeared on his cheeks over how cute you were

There was an awkward silence for maybe 2 minutes before you both attempted to speak only for you both to apologize and tell the other they could speak first ending in another awkward silence

What finally broke the silence was you giggling at what just happened and I swear Reo heard heaven’s bells he was so in love with your laughter

This ended up giving him the courage he needed to confess

It throws you off guard because you think yourself ‘why?’

Reo blinks because he didn’t expect you to ask that

Oh crap was that out loud?

Reo ends up chuckling and lists the reasons why he likes you showing that he really had paid attention to you

Your cheeks matched the tip of your ears as you meekly answered his confession with your own

Now it was Reo’s turn to be surprised. He did not expect you to feel the same

He ended up bringing his hand up to his face and laughing saying he was glad they both felt the same

He took your hands in his and asked you out

Knowing how Reo was raised, he wants to take you to a fancy restaurant. Like one of those ones where formal attire is mandatory

You somehow ended up talking him out of it explaining that you didn’t like him for his money but because when you first saw him was during a game and you thought he looked so cool with his passes to Nagi

After that game, you ended up noticing him more and more, eventually learning more about him (with Nagi’s help) which only deepened your interest into a full on crush

Boy let me tell you his entire face and neck turned red before hiding his face with his hands screeching to not look at him when you try to reach out to him and ask what was wrong

You gently pulled his hands away to give him a kiss on the cheek because of how cute he was acting

This man could faint if he wanted to

You suggest going to a food truck and taking a walk in the park to which he happily agreed to if that was what you wanted to do

For the first time really, he learned that not everyone expects him to buy them gifts or splurge on them and with this being your first suggestion for a date made him fall more

He has a bit of a way to go but he’ll get there with your help

You ended up getting hot dogs and walk around in a botanical garden you found hand in hand never letting go of each other

You both ended up taking selfies together, which Reo sends to Nagi to gloat about how well the date is going (not that Nagi cares that much except that Reo is happy)

You and Reo had so much fun together that the day passed by so quickly

Reo wanted to have his driver drive you home, which you kindly rejected because you lived close by and could walk

So of course Reo offered to walk you home instead to which you happily agreed because come on, you get to spend more time with the guy walking than riding in a car

Your hands naturally found each other’s as you walked to your home, talking about places you’d both like to go with each other in the future

Reo plans to take you to every single place you just don’t know it yet

As soon as you reach your door, Reo pulls you in to a hug, pressing kisses to the top of your head, your forehead, nose, and your lips

You smiled into the kiss

When you parted and said your good nights, you go into your house fully believed this was a dream until Reo texted you thanking you for the wonderful date

Your heart swelled so much and you ended up throwing yourself backwards on your bed, holding your phone against your chest thinking of everything that happened the past few months

Reo honestly did the same and ended up saving your name in his phone as My ❤️

I’ve literally been working on this all day due to events that required me to drive but it’s DONE. Some are longer than the others and I deeply regret that with every fiber of my being which will haunt me for the rest of my days because Nagi is my absolute favorite

Keep It Down

« silly series - 1 »

Yeji x gn!reader

Fluff

synopsis - you’ve been dating Yeji for a few weeks and spend most of your time together sneaking around in her dorm.

wordcount - 1.2K

T/W - mention of food

A/N - back in my yeji era✨ (its 24/7)

“That looks so delicious.”

“Oh my—“ Yeji jumped, startled out of her mind, heart racing as she sat up to look at you.

Giving your girlfriend a heart attack wasn’t something you expected to do today, especially not this way. All you wanted was to give your opinion on the food that appeared on her screen as she mindlessly scrolled.

She was sitting in between your legs with her back resting against your chest for the past hour or so. She liked cuddling this way. Your arms wrapped securely around her waist, soft kisses on the top of her head as she brushes her fingers against the back of your hands… There‘s something so wonderfully lazy about it all, a kind of comfort you could only find with each other.

You spent every day counting down the hours until you could sneak into her dorm and have her in your arms again.

“You scared me so bad, I thought you were asleep!” She whined, landing a playful slap on your thigh.

It was adorable, you could only laugh at her reaction, struggling to keep it down as it was getting pretty late and you weren’t alone in this dorm.

“You’re gonna wake up the girls.” She shushed, covering your giggles with her hand over your mouth, only for you to mumble something into it.

“What?” She whispered, furrowing her eyebrows.

You sighed through your nose, and looked into her eyes for a while to show her you’d calmed down. It should have been enough for her to remove her hand, but for some reason she didn’t.

Instead she focused on the door, her body as still as ever as she tried to make out any sign of the girls outside her bedroom.

You were patient for about six seconds. Then you bit her finger in order for her to let go of your mouth.

Freedom tasted wonderful to your lips, but actions had consequences, and she let out a yelp in surprise.

“Shhh!”

Yeji scoffed at the sight of your index on your lips, but she couldn’t do anything about it as the sound of someone knocking on her door resonated in the room.

“Hey, are you okay in there?” Yuna’s chuckle reached you from the other side.

Yeji’s eyes threw you a glare in which you could very clearly make out the words “see what you did?” before she turned to the door.

“Yeah, I’m fine. I’m just— I just bumped into my desk, don’t worry.” She said, trying to sound as natural as possible.

You made a face at the weak excuse, and got ready to bolt under the bed as soon as you heard it. Thankfully, though, Yuna seemed to have bought it and left just as quick as she had come. Their day’s schedule must have been too tiring for her to look further. Or she just didn’t care at all.

Either way was great to you.

Yeji sighed in relief, letting herself fall back against the mattress.

“Apparently they’re already awake.” You whispered, making her glare at you once more.

“Why are you looking at me like that, you were so much more loud than I was.” You argued.

“And who’s fault is that?” She spat back, brushing a hand in her hair as if to soothe herself.

“Why are you awake anyway?”

“Because I woke up.” You answered, earning one of her stuffed animals in the face.

“You fell asleep like twenty minutes ago, I heard you snoring.” She teased as you grabbed the stuffed animal from your lap.

It was a small axolotl you’d won for her after having spent half an hour fighting with a claw machine a couple months ago. You lost a lot of money that day, and she scolded you for it, but you couldn’t be happier.

As much as she said she didn’t care whether you won it or not, that smile on her face said otherwise. She probably really didn’t care, but seeing her happy mattered to you. It was worth it. (losing two days’ worth of pay).

“It was a power nap.” You smiled, hovering her to place a kiss on her cheek. She looked too cute, you couldn’t help but be drawn to her.

“It’s almost one in the morning.”

You frowned at her words and burried your face in her neck. That meant you had to leave soon.

“Why did you say it, now I’m gonna have to leave.” You whined.

If she hadn’t maybe you could have stayed a little longer, acting as though you hadn’t seen the time pass.

“I mean… Yuna is still up…” She mumbled, and her words were interesting enough to get you to lift your head up and see what she had in mind.

“It might be a little too risky for you to escape by then.”

“I like the way you think.” You smiled.

“Stay a little more?” She pouted as if you hadn’t made up your mind as soon as she’d mentioned Yuna not being asleep.

“I guess I can stay the night, yeah.” You joked, making her roll her eyes.

Staying the night was impossible, no matter how much you wanted to. Too many risks.

“2 am?” She proposed, and you nodded, taking out your phone. “What are you doing?”

“I’m setting an alarm.” You said, focusing on putting the right time into the app.

“Are you serious? You’re gonna sleep the whole time?”

“Who said anything about sleeping?” You smirked, putting your phone away to focus on her again.

Her cheeks heated up, and she tried to cover it up by bringing her sleeved hands up to the reddened skin.

“I saw that.” You teased with a grin showing her just how much the sight amused you.

“No, you didn’t.”

You snickered before pecking her lips a couple times, which only really worsened things for her.

“You’re very cute.” You smiled innocently, but she just stared at you in return.

“We’re not making out, I don’t feel like explaining what mom and dad were doing when we get caught.” She said, pushing you away from her so you laughed as you rolled onto your back to lay next to her.

“Fine. What do you want to do then?” You asked, grabbing her hand in yours to play with.

She didn’t say anything. Instead of answering your question with words, she simply used her body, and turned on her side in order to cuddle into yours.

“Seriously?” You asked as she pulled you close with her free arm.

You looked down at her and her eyes were already closed. She had a soft smile taunting you as she snuggled even closer to you, putting a leg over yours.

“I’m sorry, laying down just made me sleepy. We had a busy day.” She mumbled against your shoulder. “Just think of it as one more big hug before you leave.”

You could feel your heart melting. Her small, tired voice along with her words filled your whole body with a warmth that barely left your brain working enough to let you smile.

You weren’t mad, you could never be mad at her for that. She worked so hard every day, you wondered how she even had the strength to stay up and talk to you until late like this so often. The least you could do was lend her your shoulder to rest on.

Late nights and sneaking around in her dorm was one of the few ways you two could love each other. A bunch of boring corporate and industry rules got in the way, but a few weeks ago, you’d both decided it would take much more to keep you apart from each other, and so far… It worked pretty well.

The two of you had your own little routine down by now, you helped each other unwind and relax before taking on the next day with a head and heart filled with enough of the other’s love to keep you going until the next.

You softly pressed your lips against her forehead, leaving a kiss that left her unable to do anything else but smile.

“Goodnight, Yeji.” You said, figuring you’d let her sleep in your arms until you left. “Hopefully you dream of me.”

A lazy chuckle escaped her lips. It felt so sweet being able to make her laugh while half asleep, it contrasted well with the unfiltered words her state caused.

“I’ve seen enough for today.”

I'm forcing everyone to look at my Cranes pet/animal hcs Jasmine has a dog, cat and snake.

Thomas has a cat

Jasmine forced Thomas to make their cats have a play date. it was a success in Jasmine's words.

Thomas's cat is an orange and white tabby named Daisy.

Jasmine's pet names are: Dog- Mushu Cat- Meowvrick (He's a black cat with long fur, she had to name him after her boss <:sobbingBoss:1183934764386898000> ) Snake- Mr. Snoodle (She let her friend Jenifer pick this name. She regrets it afterwards 💀)

Jasmine used to have a big fluffy dog when she was a little kid. She was old but still energetic. She absolutely loved her. Sadly one day while on a walk, an unleashed dog tried attacking little Jasmine. Luckily her dog was there and defended her. Unfortunately, while her dog won, she was left heavily injured. She carried her back home (with struggle) and tried to help her, but it was too late. It took a lot of years after to get a new dog since she was heart broken

Jasmine kept a lot of centipedes in a little bucket and gave them names. They would always die and she cried every time (she was like 9) ((also she held funerals for them and completely forgot about them afterwords))

In 7th grade she went over to Thomas's house and saw that he had a pet bird. She loved spending her time with Cracker (Thomas named him 💀)

Oh yeah, Thomas had a pet bird named Cracker. He named him when he was 10.

Thomas would always bring home the most scrungkliest feral cats, and his parents would force him to let them back outside (he always cried bc he loved them a lot, even if they scratched his face up)

Jasmine and Ryan would always help him capture these cats. Mainly Ryan bc he knew what he was doing.

Ryan had a pet horse who he still visits to this day (horse was a baby when he got him)

Ryan is scared of every dog except his tiny little dachshund who he named Snake (he grew out of this fear eventually)

Ryan loved turtles as a kid. He had a pet turtle named Hank (they were kids ok--)

Ryan didn't like Thomas's bird as a kid (he bit his finger) Every time Ryan went to his cousin's house, he would immediately hide from their heeler dog (they lived on a ranch) Once while on the trampoline, his cousin's dog got on and Ryan started freaking out, struggling to get away since he was laying down.

He hates the rooster on his cousin's family ranch

Ryan took horse riding lessons

Maverick has a black axolotl who he named Latte (haha reference)

When Maverick was little, he was constantly surrounded by birds and other rain forestly type animals. He took care of 2 Scarlet Macaws that frequently visited his childhood home, a pet Capybara named Stinkle, and an Iguana named Chico

Maverick loves animals, give him a cat to play with and he melts immediately "Awhhh, aren't you a stinky little thing?? Yeah you don't like me, but I don't care. No one likes me either way!!" "Boss, we have to give the cat back" "No, she's mine now." "Boss--" "Ryan, can't you see we're bonding??" He says as the furious little kitten is biting him

Maverick is scared of horses (a horse licked him when he was little)

He LOVES cranes. He absolutely loves them. It's been his dream to have one as a pet, but sadly the only cranes that lives in the states is the sandhill crane and whooping crane, and they're illegal to own as pets. (He'll get one eventually)

When he got to see a crane up close once, his fixiation started HARD. Bring up a crane in discussion and he'll list off all the facts about them from the top of his head.

The crane trio gave him the axolotl for his birthday. Maverick didn't like aquatic type animals, so he was sorta pissed at first. But when he saw the axolotl was black, he fell in love. "You got me a fish…?" "Well, not really, it's an axolotl!" "…Whatever it is, I don't want that disgusting--" Sees it's black "….You're my baby now. I'm naming you Latte. I'll build an entire ecosystem for you, and we'll talk about cranes together." "…Told you he'll love it."

Alex is scared of cats (he got chased by an orange kitten when he was little)

He really likes Cheetahs, their swiftness intrigue him

He really wants a pet dog, but never found the time to make room for one (his job 💔 )

When Ryan and Alex move in together after this hell, Ryan got him a Golden Shepard breed, and Alex loved her (he cried when he held her in his arms)

Alex and Ryan are dog parents

They got a Doberman after

Crows are fairly fond of Alex, they constantly bring him little shiny jewels since he feeds them

------------------------

That's all I have for now </3

A TRAGEDY IN 3-PART HARMONY

I'm putting a readmore here PURELY for the fact that this is going to be very long.

In the middle. That's where I was at. It's odd to call the end of my life the middle. But it is what it was.

The Axolotl and I made a deal for my release from their so-called "therapy". A temporary release, really. I was still due for therapy, but I was led to believe that the break would help me let go of my stresses. To be given new life where I could breathe and spread my hands into as many pies as I desired.

However, there was a catch. A catch where I was given life, but not my own body. And there's no real magic in the world I'd been allowed into. However, if I could take control of the body myself, then it'd be mine to do with it however I pleased.

I decided that I needed an easily breakable mind. One who was innocent, yet would still meld to my whims. A child broken by a family situation was a perfect toy for me to do however I pleased. And I descended to their mind.

And, funny thing, is that I had to rebuild my strength in their mind. For several years. I bided my time.

I remember our first interaction. They were stuck on a boss in a video game. And, as they were around 4 or 5 years old, were not using their brain enough to figure out the way to block a specific attack that had them dying and restarting, over and over again.

I told them after feeling their annoyance interfering with mine, "Use the shield to block the attacks."

They were shocked by the voice in their head that was distinctly not their own. They didn't think of using the shield. Was currently trying to jump over the attacks much to their frustration. And they used the shield. And it worked! With the attacks blocked, the boss became easy to defeat.

They smiled brightly, tilting their head in the direction they heard the voice from. The right side of their head. And strongly sent out a thought. "Thanks, God!"

I was left dumbfounded, but very pleased to have won the affection of the small child. I mean, FINALLY, somebody to acknowledge my genius! (Even if it wasn't the biggest genius move to use a shield to block attacks.)

There was no significant move from me for close to a decade after that.

Fifteen years of age. The child had grown and, though once a genius at school, had started failing. Not for lack of understanding, but for lack of capability to do. A thing they never understood as burnout from blocking out their emotions their entire life. (A fact I may have unintentionally encouraged, but ultimately was their own doing.)

Untreated trauma and bullying is really a bitch.

They were suddenly saddled with panic attacks, major depression, severe agoraphobia, and an unhealthy dose of fear of human beings. (As well as many other such things that they never understood.)

It felt like such a perfect opportunity. There they were, breaking down over the course of a single year until it culminated in them dropping out of the 9th grade, their father telling them the truth of how their mother abused them, and suicidal thoughts galore! This was all practically gift-wrapped with a pretty little bow to me!

They were contemplating suicide for the nth time. And, figuring it'd be like our first interaction, I chimed in with a, "It is not you who should die, but them."

For several moments, they agreed with me.

Until a little, 'click' went off in their brain, and suddenly they realized what they'd just been agreeing to. And off goes their panic attack.

I felt no worry, as this was merely the beginning in breaking them down and getting them to do my bidding. They were a doll that I'd already had my claws in. All I had to do was rip apart their morality and remaining sanity and they'd crumple like a sheet of paper.

Except, for whatever reason, I'd underestimated exactly how strong their moral code was. Hell, it was stronger than their will to live! The only reason they never killed themself was for the fact that, at the time, they believed that killing themself would get them into trouble with God.

Over the years, I got more and more frustrated. I had given them time to reconsider, to watch in agony as I whispered thoughts into their head that they recognized as not their own. To have them tremble in fear, cry for hours on end over me telling them to stab into and kill their friend. To give them horrible visceral thoughts of what it'd mean to kill somebody, the stabbing into their throats, the eyes being yanked, the pleasure of being ""control"" of their lives for the first time.

And yet. They did not break. Not in the way I'd imagined.

After 4 painful years, they'd finally got into therapy. And promptly got sent to spend some time in a psych ward. I was beyond pissed, though we were only there getting a minor psych test for several hours. Beyond boring, let me tell you.

Then, the medications came in. So many different types. Antidepressants, antianxietys, antipsychotics, medication for the thyroid issues they have. And when they finally got the right meds, they started calming down more, could think more clearly than ever before.

But, as I am no hallucination or delusion, I never left.

With them thinking more clearly, since I am attached to their brain as well, I calmed down as well.

It was a trick. The damn Axolotl got me put on meds WITHOUT GETTING ME MY OWN BODY.

I, myself, could think more clearly as well.

And that's when the guilt came in. I knew I had lost. I had lost so much. And I was conversated with. By him. The child now adult I was attached to. He had a name now, too. Kevin.

He'd been dealing with emotions at the time. Of being a demon from hell and was seeking to get to heaven. He never realized that the emotions were my own.

It's around then that he learned what my actual name was too. (He'd been calling me Frank, but knew I gave no name myself.) He connected the dots once watching the wonderful cartoon show known as Gravity Falls.

It was a shock to him, to me as well. He's too smart for his own wellbeing. I suppose it's my own fault I helped him along the way.

I got... moody, so to speak. I was awash with guilt and sorrow that my plan had failed.

And so I spent several years staring at the wall in our brain, refusing to interact or speak. Maybe childish. I didn't care.

Until, some 3 years later. When he thought of me again. And... he did something unexpected.

He reached out to me.

I refused his hand at first.

But he's amazingly stubborn. He told me that hiding away does not solve problems. That he... wanted? To talk with me again? He was curious. He wanted to know if I was still there despite being small and silent in an empty and dark section of our brain. If I was still the same.

It... took time. But after much heckling from him, I finally gave in and started interacting with him again. Minutely. Only when he shoved me. Which became more and more frequent.

After all this time, the years going by, he's actually allowing me to follow through on my original plan. Which, in case you've forgotten, was to allow me to take control of his body.

I've... changed. To the point that it scared me at first to take control of limbs that he calls his own, now insisting that they're our own. I'm still a little tense typing this message. The stress in our gut is real.

But... I can feel that he's genuine, that there's no lie in how he speaks. His moral convictions may have changed over the years, but they still remain strong. He believes in me. Trusts in me when I myself do not.

And even though he knows a little more about how I operate, just as I have learned, he... forces himself to be calm. And to think through his emotions. And to be there, clinging to me desperately. Saying things like, "You'd better not leave me, that would break me. Do Not Break Me."

I think I've been a bad influence to him. Even though, I admit, I said the same thing to him after he said it to me.

Are we toxic? Is there no fixing us? Maybe we're a little bit obsessed with each other, but is it so bad to love and be loved like this? To be so interconnected that we literally cannot hide our emotions from one another?

Kevin believes that it's okay, because I am him, and he is me. Even though we are separate, we're still together. I want to remain separate. He just wants to hug me until I feel safe, and then continue to cling to me.

Is it wrong to be like this? Kevin tells me that I should not overthink the pain and deem myself a monster as I am currently. Because... he believes in me. And, just as I am reigned in by him, he is reigned in by me. That anger is not a bad thing. That fear makes us weak and that it forces us to not confront that which we've done. In confronting that or the unknown.

And the unknown is not to be feared, lest it tastes your weakness.

...I have no ending to this, because our life is still continuing.

He laughs at me and himself, because he has fallen into my trap just as much as I have for his. We're at a stalemate. We are equals.

He keeps my head on straight, and I help him stop being a wallflower.

...whatever happens next, so long as Kevin is with me, whether in mind or spirit, I... look forward to such things.

But I fucking swear that if I need """more time""" finding myself with therapy BULLSHIT. I WILL BE UPSET AND MAD.

But I will go through with it anyways. :/ What else is there to do?

The idea of Scar constantly pressing the Complete Button over and over again and constantly getting five hearts makes me think

Grian died by killing himself, hopping off a ledge in the desert. Scott died accepting his death, allowing the axolotl to live in while he waited for the end. Pearl died by pushing someone else into killing themselves so she could win, after everything that had happened. Martyn waited, watched as his timer ticked down and he accepted his fate, finishing his hourglass before dying in the water

Scar doesn’t accept death. He doesn’t accept it as an option for all he had been through. He survived, he won. He deserves to live after that, despite the want to go home. He won’t press fail, because he could never succumb to what made the previous winners so willing to die.

The previous winners knew that so someone would be waiting for them on the other side. Scar doesn’t.

okay, now i know i already asked for one of these, so feel free to just delete this if i’m not allowed to send more than one, but: could i pretty please ask for a kiss from a vampire for f1 ? again, i feel like you do know me pretty well by this point 😅, but if you want me to send some actual info just lemme know !!

thanks so much in advance, bumblebee, and i hope you have the loveliest day !! <3

oh dolly my darling i'd be more than happy to give you an f1 ship !!! again , thanks so much for sending something in darling , and i hope you like it !!! sending you all of my love <33

𝐢'𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐫 𝐩𝐢𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢 !

oh my god do i think that the two of you would be absolutely perfect together !!! you give me a sort of black cat / orange cat vibe ,, and i just think that oscar would be absolutely head over heels for you dolly darling !!!

ᡣ𐭩 oscar always looks at you with heart eyes , but my god do they intensify whenever you’re talking about one of your interests . you’re so invested , you don’t even notice oscar looking at you like you hung the stars in the sky , just absolutely awe struck . if you start to shy under his gaze , he shoots you a crooked smile , wanting you to keep talking , ‘sorry, didn’t mean to put you off. go on, babe.’

ᡣ𐭩 like i mentioned yesterday , oscar is so understanding and supportive regarding your autism !! he never shies away from asking you how he can best support you or make you the most comfortable in certain scenarios , because he knows it’s not a ‘one fits all’ situation and whilst he could just google it , he thinks hearing it from you personally is so much more important and beneficial !

ᡣ𐭩 oscar loves to hear about what books you’re reading at the minute , and often asks if he can borrow them when you’re done ! they come in extremely handy for long flights when he’s bored out of his mind , and he always makes a mental note to tell you every single thought he has about it , even frantically typing certain quotes into his notes app when they make him think of you

ᡣ𐭩 being honest , oscar just thinks you’re an absolute ray of sunshine ! never has he met someone who just glows with goodness , and he considers himself so lucky to have you . you’re always there for him , whether through the good or bad , and he knows that no matter what , he’ll always have you by his side . it makes him smile impossibly hard if he thinks about it for longer than a second

𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐱 𝐚𝐥𝐛𝐨𝐧 !

ᡣ𐭩 i will quickly say i was so close to saying logan here , but alex ultimately won me over here !! but as a bonus , logan is a very close contender for your second best friend - the williams boys would get along great with you in my head !!! whenever you’re in the paddock , they definitely both team up to try and convince you to watch from the williams garage instead of mclaren’s (it never works)

ᡣ𐭩 now , i think alex would love your style . like the axolotl shirt you bought the other day ? alex thinks it is singlehandedly the greatest piece of clothing he’s ever laid eyes on . a picture of it definitely makes it into his instagram photodump , i know it

ᡣ𐭩 if alex ever needs a new movie or show to watch , he knows exactly who to come to !! he loves that you always have recommendations that aren’t the same five shows everyone else in the paddock suggests to him , and more often than not he comes away with a new favourite piece of media !!!

ᡣ𐭩 you’re always exchanging pictures of your respective pets . if someone were to scroll through your recent text threads with him , they’d find that roughly 80% of your conversations are just animal pictures (and incredibly cute ones , at that !)

#𑁤 becca’s 1k fright fest !

Not to add on to this already super long post, but I wanted to address some tags and reblogs!

Please consider, their name:

Betta means “fighter.” Betta splendens means “Splendid Fighter.” Bettas are well known for being territorial, and they were initially bred for aggression and subjected to cockfighting-type matches which people would bet on. These bettas had shorter tails like their wild counterparts, as the long tails would have created drag and given opposing fish more surface area to tear into. It wasn’t until the early 20th century when they started being bred for color and fins and became more of a display fish.

As for rats…

Well, they weren’t bred for fighting each other…

Rat-catchers in 18th and 19th century Europe were trappers who would catch wild rats and either kill them or sell them to be used in rat-baiting. Rat-baiting involved throwing a bunch of rats into a pit and making bets on how long it would take a terrier to kill them all. This was a lucrative sport, and some rat-catchers bred rats to sell as well. The two men most often credited for starting the domestication of rats were rat-catchers: Jack Black (no, not that one), the “royal rat-catcher”, and Jimmy Shaw (also not that one), manager of a large sporting house. Jack Black especially was known for breeding rats with prettier colors and markings, dressing them in ribbons, and selling them to “sophisticated ladies of court.” Some of his customers included author Beatrix Potter and Queen Victoria. Rat fancy became more formal when Mary Douglas got permission to enter her black and white hooded rat into a National Mouse Club show in 1901, and won “Best in Show.”

While axolotls were considered a staple of Aztec diets (and are pronounced “ash-o-lout” in Nahuatl, so let’s normalize not using the anglicized pronounciation) since being captive bred they have been used all over the world for different purposes. While it’s mostly scientific research, they are also bred in Japan and sold in wet markets as food.

These people are right about the snakes and I should have specified that. My examples were more to show how human breeding can hurt the animals involved, and the examples used may have been misleading.

Scottish folds are indeed a mutation of the Scottish longhair, however there are certainly breeds of cats in the same way there are breeds of dog. Just look at an Oriental Shorthair or a Pixie-bob and tell me those are “morphs.” I’ve worked with ragdolls, sphynx cats, and maine coons, definitely all seperate, distinct breeds. It’s just that most of the cats being bred and ending up in shelters in the USA are American Shorthairs and sometimes American Longhairs, so those are the ones you see represented the most.

Phew. This one took, uh… a bit longer than expected due to other projects both irl and art-wise, but it’s finally here. The long-awaited domestic animal infographic! Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough space to cover every single domestic animal (I’m so sorry, reindeer and koi, my beloveds) but I tried to include as many of the “major ones” as possible.

I made this chart in response to a lot of the misunderstandings I hear concerning domestic animals, so I hope it’s helpful!

Further information I didn’t have any room to add or expand on:

🐈 “Breed” and “species” are not synonyms! Breeds are specific to domesticated animals. A Bengal Tiger is a species of tiger. A Siamese is a breed of domestic cat.

🐀 Different colors are also not what makes a breed. A breed is determined by having genetics that are unique to that breed. So a “bluenose pitbull” is not a different breed from a “rednose pitbull”, but an American Pitbull Terrier is a different breed from an American Bully! Animals that have been domesticated for longer tend to have more seperate breeds as these differing genetics have had time to develop.

🐕 It takes hundreds of generations for an animal to become domesticated. While the “domesticated fox experiment” had interesting results, there were not enough generations involved for the foxes to become truly domesticated and their differences from wild foxes were more due to epigenetics (heritable traits that do not change the DNA sequence but rather activate or deactivate parts of it; owed to the specific circumstances of its parents’ behavior and environment.)

🐎 Wild animals that are raised in human care are not domesticated, but they can be considered “tamed.” This means that they still have all their wild instincts, but are less inclined to attack or be frightened of humans. A wild animal that lives in the wild but near human settlements and is less afraid of humans is considered “habituated.” Tamed and habituated animals are not any less dangerous than wild animals, and should still be treated with the same respect. Foxes, otters, raccoons, servals, caracals, bush babies, opossums, owls, monkeys, alligators, and other wild animals can be tamed or habituated, but they have not undergone hundreds of generations of domestication, so they are not domesticated animals.

🐄 Also, as seen above, these animals have all been domesticated for a reason, be it food, transport, pest control, or otherwise, at a time when less practical options existed. There is no benefit to domesticating other species in the modern day, so if you’ve got a hankering for keeping a wild animal as a pet, instead try to find the domestic equivalent of that wild animal! There are several dog breeds that look and behave like wolves or foxes, pigeons and chickens can make great pet birds and have hundreds of colorful fancy breeds, rats can be just as intelligent and social as a small monkey (and less expensive and dangerous to boot,) and ferrets are pretty darn close to minks and otters! There’s no need to keep a wolf in a house when our ancestors have already spent 20,000+ years to make them house-compatible.

🐖 This was stated in the infographic, but I feel like I must again reiterate that domestic animals do not belong in the wild, and often become invasive when feral. Their genetics have been specifically altered in such a way that they depend on humans for optimal health. We are their habitat. This is why you only really see feral pigeons in cities, and feral cats around settlements. They are specifically adapted to live with humans, so they stay even when unwanted. However, this does not mean they should live in a way that doesn’t put their health and comfort as a top priority! If we are their world, it is our duty to make it as good as possible. Please research any pet you get before bringing them home!

Wolf took me to the coast yesterday.

We set out early morning after coffee and homemade breakfast burritos.

We stopped at the disc golf course, playing the last 5 holes.

We went to our hot tubs.

Wolf wanted to take me to a burger truck but they were closed on Sundays. I recommended either Mexican or pizza and wolf found a pizza place in the next town over. It had turtles, a blow fish and an axolotl painted on the windows. There was an arcade in the back with a pinball machine, a few arcade cabinets, a few sticker and temporary tattoo machines and 2 claw machines. Wolf and I both attempted the pinball machine, me picking up after wolf as he won a few free plays. I also played the racing game, attempted to get a beanie baby from the claw machine, and collected 2 temporary tattoos. Both unicorns! We both shared 2 medium pizzas and had plenty of leftovers.

He then took me to the local zoo! The zoo was nestled inside the red woods. The first animal we saw was the crested screamers and a cavy, as well as flamingos and orinoco geese. Then we went through the aviary, where we had to be as quiet as mice to not disturb the birds. But they were hiding. Luckily we did see a few scarlet ibis. They were a beautiful bright red color with very long beaks. We walked the sky walk and it was amazing. The bridges were attached to the red woods themselves and even though we were feet from the ground, we still weren’t halfway up the trees. The walkways seemed to be made of red wood themselves. Looking down we saw the new exhibit for the black bears, and there they were: 2 black bear cubs exploring their new home. They were 15 months old. The chain bridges were wobbly, as if we were walking on a boat out at sea. Some of the red woods had burls, which is what our coffee table at home is made out of. Even though I wasn’t allowed to touch the trees, I wanted to. I wanted to rest my palm against them, feel the energy from them. My heart clenched in awe, as I stood on the bridge, looking up and being surrounded by their enormous height.

At the end we found the gift shop, who was a home to turtles!!! He bought me a red panda plushie and I got a pressed penny.

We went to the course again and played the full course.

We were stopped at construction on the way back, giving us an opportunity to stretch and eat another slice of pizza from the trunk of the car.

carbon monoxide

A/N: so i made a tumblr post with the line "if jimmy is the canary, scott is the carbon monoxide" and i went feral. also fun fact! there is a type of star called a carbon star, and it is made up of carbon monoxide (among other gases). and carbon stars are red :) just thought that was a neat fact :)

Warnings: death (all canonical and past), super brief suicidal ideation (blink-and-you’ll-miss-it, it’s not super present), mild blood, cosmic horror, mild body horror (sorta?? mostly tagging it to be safe, there is nothing super graphic about this fic it just gets Weird)

Summary: Scott won a game of betrayal through loyalty, and he is unwillingly called to collect his prize.

AO3 Link

It was over. It was finally over. Scott was the last one standing, but he didn’t feel any sense of victory or remorse. He just felt tired as his chest heaved while he tried to catch his breath. He removed the hand that he had pressed to his side, ignoring how it came away sticky with blood, and took a bucket out of his inventory. The axolotl inside peered up at him, head tilting to one side in what seemed like concern.

“Just me and Binkie. We finally did it,” Scott said flatly, feeling a bit numb. He eyed the shimmering potions scattered on the ground and knelt down to pick one up, watching the luminescent liquid slosh inside. There was only one thing to do now…

But Scott didn’t even have a chance to take the potion. It was like a switch had suddenly flipped and Scott felt a glow burning in his chest. It felt like starlight, it felt like home. His starborne abilities had been restricted on this world- the only thing he could really do was let his eyes glow and make particles of starlight that hovered around him if he so chose. But now the starlight in his veins was burning with full force- and, he belatedly realized, was burning too bright. He dropped the bucket with a sharp intake of breath, hardly registering Binkie scrambling away. Scott knew this was something that could happen to his people if they were gravely injured, but Scott didn’t think he was that worse off.

And then Scott was nowhere. Well, he was certainly somewhere, but it was just… vast darkness. That… wasn’t right, he hadn’t even gone supernova yet. But then Scott realized he wasn’t alone.

“Champion,” a voice echoed, their tone begrudging and disapproving. Well, it wasn’t really one voice, more like several compounding on each other and coming from everywhere and nowhere at once. Scott was hoping he’d never have to hear those voices again. He first started hearing them when he’d resisted the boogeyman urges, and put together enough pieces here and there- mostly from remembering things Jimmy had told him about a world called Evo- to figure out that they were the Watchers, a group of beings who seemed to feed off of chaos and destruction.

“Champion?” Scott scoffed. He certainly hadn’t felt like he had won anything, all he did was survive.

“Against our wishes, yes,” the voices grumbled.

“Well it wasn’t exactly a wish of mine to be forced to kill my friends, but here we are,” Scott snapped. Colorful silhouettes of eyes flickered in the darkness. Good, they should be upset. Scott was tired of their high and mighty attitude.

“You dare disrespect us?” they fumed.

“I killed the one who got my friends and I into this mess, and I killed your pet Listener. I played your twisted game and won. You think I’m afraid of you?” he taunted.

“Careful, Champion. Lest your hubris becomes your downfall," they said with a sneer.

“In case you didn’t notice, I didn’t use hubris to win,” Scott scoffed.

“No. You saw a world built for betrayal and chose loyalty. You say you played our game, but you didn’t play it right,” they said, sounding almost pouty.

“Can’t help but notice I’m still the last one standing,” he said with a smug grin. The eyes flickered again in the darkness, wings and indecipherable symbols appearing too.

“Perhaps we should have let you burn like your friend wanted you to. The nerve of him to invite a starborne to play our game,” the voices said, and if they had faces, Scott was sure they’d be scowling. But confusion quickly overrode Scott’s amusement at the Watchers’ pouting. His friend… did they mean Grian? Had Grian been the one to restrict his abilities in the first place, only to give it back at the end so that Scott would die? Was Grian that much of a sore loser?

“What do you mean, ‘let me burn?’ Why did you save me?” Scott demanded.

“It seems he wanted to prevent you from receiving your prize. But he should have known better- nothing can evade us,” they said, shifting from whiny and pouty to bitter and self-righteous. So Grian had wanted to save Scott by killing him? Some communication about all of this would have been nice beforehand. Maybe some of this was on Scott for accepting an invite to an “experimental” world twice, but Scott kind of got the feeling that the Watchers would have gotten their way regardless. Maybe it was time that someone finally said no to them.

“What if I don’t want your prize? What if I’m perfectly content with the satisfaction of winning?” Scott asked. The air around him tinged with smug amusement.

“We could give you power, Champion,” the voices crooned.

“Not interested. I’ve seen what it did to Grian,” Scott scoffed. If the Watchers had never given Grian their power, then maybe none of this would have happened. No way he was going to fall for the same trap.

“Then what about your beloved Canary? You could be with him again, no harm would come to either of you,” the voices offered, and a shimmering image of Jimmy appeared before Scott. It flickered, causing Jimmy’s appearance to shift from having scales, to bright yellow feathery wings, to glittering amethyst thorns, to a cat’s ears and tail, to the features of a dragon, and back to the human Scott knew- but one thing remained the same: Jimmy’s smile, mischievous and kind and radiant. And for a moment, Scott wanted to reach forward, to take this ever-shifting Jimmy into his arms… but it wasn’t real. And even if it was, that would only end in heartbreak. Scott lived enough lifetimes with Jimmy to know that.

“No,” Scott said firmly. The shimmering image of Jimmy disappeared as soon as he had spoken, casting everything into darkness once more.

“No? But you’ve fought so desperately to keep him in other lifetimes… could it be you’ve finally realized that trying to love a harbinger of death and chaos is a fool’s errand?” the voices taunted. Something in Scott snapped. The way the Watchers talked about Jimmy, the way they always talked about him- like he was an inconvenience, something to ridicule? It made Scott’s skin crawl. Jimmy was many things: impulsive, reckless, naive, and a bit of an idiot at times- but that didn’t mean Scott had loved him any less. And with that, Scott’s carefully crafted mask cracked, revealing the true swirling galaxies of starlight beneath. The air tinged with fear, but not his own.

“Don’t talk about him like that,” Scott fumed, and the darkness around him began to crack too. Light and color seeped through, brighter than the eyes had been. He could feel the Watchers trying to shrink away from him.

“Your starborne trickery has no power here!” the voices cried, no doubt trying to sound intimidating, but Scott could taste their fear. He laughed, the sound loud and ringing, echoing as much as the voices of the Watchers did. The cracks in the darkness spiderwebbed and broke open even more, revealing countless galaxies. Scott could sense the worlds in each of them, could sense the countless iterations of himself and his friends. The Watchers had been fools to bring him here.

“On the contrary, I think I have more power here than I did anywhere else,” Scott said, voice still echoing as he grinned wider. Scott was surrounded by starlight and color now, the galaxies bending and swirling towards him. He began to flicker much like the image of Jimmy had- golden antlers grew from his head, wings unfurled from his back and shifted between a snowy owl’s and a lunar moth’s, he felt fangs creep into his mouth, and his eyes rapidly cycled through colors like a kaleidoscope. All that remained constant was the starlight simmering in his veins and the galaxies swirling on his skin.

“This- this should be impossible! What are you?!” the voices shrieked.

“You should have heeded the canary’s warning,” was all Scott said in response, before the rest of the darkness shattered and the Watchers gave out a final, ear-splitting cacophony of screams.

alright, as promised, since Joe’s episode is out now... I’ve done some transcribing. please, please go watch his episode, though, you’re missing out on such treasures as the framing device for this, the fact joe does voices for the different characters, him intentionally pronouncing “xisuma” wrong, and more! if you’re just looking for the text itself, though....

joe’s halloween hermitcraft fanfiction, as read in season 8 episode 15 (all spelling errors, capitalization errors, and other oddities preserved as they’re written in the book):

One day Xisuma and the Mandalorian were hanging out at the Dran & Cortier tavern when baby Grogu Yoda slurped up and ate Xisuma’s Axolotl Mini Me. Xisuma didn’t notice, because he was too concerned about the rumor the mandalorian Din Djalafjnkasdbnjkfbjk told him about HorseHead farms.

“I’ve word of a creature partially buried beneath the nether portal at Horsehead farms. My business is elsehwere, but someone should do something, and Detective Pikachu is preoccupied with that mess up at Boatem.”

Xisuma was concerned but his mask revealed nothing. The Mandalorian’s mask revealed nothing. Detective Pikachu revealed everything, but about an unrelated case, so that’s great for him I guess, but not really any good for Hypno and xBCrafted, who have an eldritch horse or two to deal with. Or so Xisuma thought. It was a rough time for a lot of the hermits. Some of them had gone into extreme debt to purchasde increasingly elaborate frog hates in advance of the Minecraft wild update. Others had lost all their Derpcoin bettering on firefly races. As for me, Joe Hills, America’s Sweetheart, I had followed some stock tips from my Horse Diamond Hooves. He made a fortune on Gameclop stock and claimed his new pick, a stablecoin called CastorTroy was gonna make me rich. It didn’t. I was down on my luck, broke, unable to really care about Xisuma’s monster quest, let alone the news of the latest caper foiled up at Boatem. I just wanted to get in my minecart at the end of a long day and head home.

As I waited for my train a man in a suit jet skied up to me and set down an alligator on the bench between us.

“Do you have a minute ?”

“I don’t believe in Jeff the Minion” I replied.

“It’s not that, I’d like to offer you a great opportunity.”

“I come from a long line of fanfiction writers who abhor self-inserts, so stop bothering me and get lost.”

Then Mobius opened up his aligator’s mouth and pulled out two full-sized Total Nuclear Annihilation pinball machines.

“Sire, you’ve played TNA before haven’t you? Play TNA with me, each time you detonate a reactor, I’ll give you 100,000 derpwon, each time I detonate a reactor, you’ll pay me 100,000 Derpwon.”

And so I won a few rounds, I lost a few rounds, the alligator got eaten by baby Yoda who apparently no one was watching very closely at the moment, and eventually, Mobius left me with some Derpwon and a card with shapes and coordinates on it.

“If you want to play a game and win real money, go to those coordinates. Wow.” He said, before jetskiing off excitedly.

Xisuma had spoken to each Hermit about his quest to eliminate the great two-headed horse monster rising from the earth at Horsehead farms, but like me, each hermit said no. Except BDubs who yelled, “NO!” very excitedly.

So when Xisuma arrived at the portal of Horsehead farms and stared up at the two great maws before him, he was shocked not only by the great white teeth that were about to devour him, or the cruel tongues that waited to taste the dried blood on his armor, accrustulated over the decades of demon and monster-slayering, no. Xisuma was surprised that all the Hermits had joined him around the portal.

Each Hermit was lying on a different bed, and a strange tune began to play. As they rose, it became clear they were all wearing green athleticwear, which is easier to key out in post-production. A bunch of villagers in pink jumpsuits arrived to shepard the hermits into a a cluster behind a line on the ground. The horse heads spoke as one, with a voice that trembled not only the air, but the very earth.

“THE GAME IS REDLIGHT GREENLIGHT. CROSS THE LINE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PORTAL TO WIN.” Xisuma was very confuised, but at least he was mostly awake. Everyone else was pretty groggy.

Xisuma lifted his Netherite sword to the sky and declared “I WILL NOT LET YOU FEAST ON MY FRIENDS!”

The horses began to strain against the ground, and soon lifted the portal itself that had seemed to pin them for so long. As the dirt blocks fell aroudn them like gravel, more heads emerges from the earth, each a different equine visage, its tongue stretching towards the players greedily. Xisuma could count at least 80 heads as the unimaginable creature lurched into the sky, impossibly still resting on the ground, but towering beyond the traditional build height.

“I had been looking forward to the increased build height in 1.18″ I muttered, “but this has really bridled my enthusiasm

Xisuma’s blade seemed imperceptibly small, like a dalgona needle faced with a task beyond time. The horses, who must now have been speaking with 200 mouths, at once proclaimed

“GREEN LIGHT.”

The hermits scrambled forward.

“RED LIGHT”

The hermits all froze, except Scar, whose hat’s momentum carried it forward. Tongues like purple and green ribbons flashed from a few dozen of the nearest mouths, impossibly thin and fine for such great beasts, and shredded the hat before pulling the scraps into their own waiting maws.

“GREEN LIGHT”

Xisuma reached for a fireproof potion and a bucket of lava, and as he did, he missed the tiny shape of baby yoda grogoo ambling towards the unthinkable creature. Baby Yoda opened its mouth and began to feast. Agony and pain were the only sound the hermits could comprehend as they clapped their hands to their ears to protect themselves from the shrill shrieking of the horse monster.

As baby yoda’s tiny hand forced the last head of the great beast into its tiny mouth, the creature tried to gasp red light.... but Baby Yoda was not still.

Instead, he burped, and wandered off to meet Detective Pikachu for a round of Leaf Spleef. The End.
