Synopsis: In a world ruled by a wicked hydreigon, the pokemon have been split into groups: Outcasts, Heretics and Darkness. Two Outcasts - a meowstic called Cleo and her small dedenne companion Spark - stumble upon an odd discovery. Something that gives the Outcasts a little hope. Hope that the Darkness will one day be defeated, and pokemon can live in peace once more.

But this discovery comes at a cost. It sends two of Hydreigon’s best assassins after them. What unfolds next is a roller-coaster of events that throw our heroes right into the epic battle between good and evil.

if you could sit in a barrel, maybe

[sfw tickle fic!! possible claustrophobia. lee!venti, ler!lumine]

࿐ ࿔*:･ﾟ༄ ࿐ ࿔*:･ﾟ༄ ࿐ ࿔*:･ﾟ༄

“Well… this is troublesome.”

Lumine hissed as she squeezed Venti closer to her. “You’re the one who got us here.” Venti laughed, breathless as the Traveler choked him.

The wooden walls of the barrel did nothing to muffle the heavy footsteps shaking the tavern floor. Lumine’s ears could pick up the clinking of chains on the suit of the tavernkeeper (Diluc, because of course it was Diluc). The air was stuffy, it smelled sour, and, as hard as she blinked, Lumine could see nothing but darkness and the not-even-guilty outline of Venti’s face squished against his braids.

“Aw, don’t be mad, my dear. I just wanted some birthday wine! However could we celebrate without wine?” Venti whispered pitifully, head cradled in Lumine’s lap. His feet scuffed on the side of the barrel — she felt her lungs still.

Every noise was like a firecracker in this suffocating, pitch-black space. At each incensed footfall outside and each too-sharp breath or shuffle within the curved planks, Lumine’s arms stiffened around the bard in her hold. If only I could be silent enough for the both of us.

Venti kicked his leg again, twitching with excited energy. Lumine’s heart rocketed. The steps on the floorboards had stopped. She stuck her hands under Venti’s arms and tugged him close.

Then his entire body flinched, a squeak shooting out of his mouth. Lumine clenched her teeth as the barrel shook.

“Venti!”

“Sorry!” Venti wriggled as much as he could, the tiniest wispy giggles sprouting from his lips. “Wahaha�� Your hahands!”

Lumine sighed. A twitchy smile pulled at her cheeks. “Oh, Ven. Just try to be quiet.”

Mute, Lumine scribbled under Venti’s arms. She chuckled softly at his nervous choke.

“Lu- Luhumihine! AHaha- NaHAhat now! Stop t- tihihi— Stahap thahahat!”

“What? Tickling you?” Lumine grinned as Venti quivered and whined in a flustered flurry. She dragged her fingers between his upper ribs, teasing at the edge of his dancing corset.

“EHee yehehehes! Stop tihihicklihing!”

“Stop being so ticklish then.” In this moment of warmth and giddy suspense, Lumine forgot all need for stealth. There was something thrilling about breaking the rules, toeing the line and trying not to get caught.

Lumine traced the hems of Venti’s dress shirt, scratching up his forearms and around his underarms. Hysterical, he squealed into her clothes and squirmed. Lumine could feel the vibrations of his lyre-sweet laughter running through her abdomen (and she tried to pretend it didn’t affect her in a giggly way at all).

“EEHE! Dihiluhuhuc will hehehehear!” Venti pleaded. “He’ll be sohoho mahaHAhad!”

Now you’re worried? “Well, maybe you deserve it.” With a huff, Lumine patted down his torso, searching for his hips. “This was all your idea anyway, you little wiggleworm.” Ah, bingo. She slipped her fingers into the hole in Venti’s shorts, tracing circles into soft, sensitive skin where his shirt had ridden up.

All the while, Venti was gnawing on his braids to muffle himself, a wail leaping from the back of his throat when she made it to his hips. He’d jerked so far forward that Lumine had sunk farther onto her back somehow, and Venti was now crushing her chest.

“LUHUmihihi pleheheHEASE! Nah nohohot thehehere! I cahahan’t, Ihihi’m—!” Desperately, Venti twisted his hips and shook his head, braids whipping about, glowing. Oh, they were glowing a lot, actually. Almost as if—

The barrel exploded.

Lumine lay surrounded by the splintered remains of their hiding spot — unharmed, but winded (ha) by the burst of Anemo. Venti was collapsed on her chest, where he panted and rubbed at his apple-red cheeks.

Grimacing as her legs twinged with pins and needles, Lumine propped Venti up by his shoulders to examine his face. “You okay?” she asked, still supine on the floor.

Venti nodded, loopy. “Only hurt that you would be so mean to me. And on my birthday?” He pouted and almost tumbled onto her again.

A snicker broke out of Lumine’s chest. Then it snowballed into bubbling laughter that shook her entire torso. Venti too succumbed to mirthful stitches, equally exhilarated from the high of misbehavior.

“Happy birthday to you.” Lumine giggled and patted Venti’s cheek. He met her with a wide, joyous smile.

“Happy birthday indeed, bard,” came a new, much deeper, much more intimidating voice.

Venti and Lumine looked up at the looming shadow, red hair, dark suit, crossed arms and all. Blazing eyes twisted in irritation burned through them.

It seemed Diluc had discovered the mess they’d created.

And they never even made it to the wine…

I am a Frustrated Freddy rn so let's go into some HC's again!

This time Saiki's relationships with his parents. Positive and negative

- Kuniharu and Kusuo used to be really close when Kusuo was a kid. It stepped around the time Kusuo's powers started to grow too fast for them to predict.

- Kuniharu was the one to introduce Kusuo to Coffee Jelly. It was completely accidental and Kusuo absolutely stole the Coffee Jelly

- While Kusuo is 100% a Mama's Boy, he used to run to his dad all the time when he would come home.

- the depletion of their relationship happened when Kusuo's powers were growing beyond Kuniharu's comprehension. Without an answer for it, he busied himself with Kusuke and then later his mother when Kusuke left.

- Kurumi on the other hand really tried to make the beat of it work.

- Despite knowing her husband is treating their youngest wrong, she let's it pass because she knows Kusuo can handle it.

- He doesnt handle it well, but it's okay, he learns how to! (Negative)

- Kurumi used to take Kusuo around to taste test sweets with her. It was an excuse to get him out of the house and running around.

- Kurumi REALLY does not want Kusuo to end up like Her, Kuniharu, Kusuke or her parents, where he has no one to rely on but them. It's why she pushes so much for him to go out and have friends.

- Incidentally, she gains friends in the process through Kusuo's friends Parents.

- Has a mean streak and was an absolute badass, but she struggles with expressing that part of her in a controlled environment. It's why she ends up being really scary even if she doesnt mean to be.

- Kusuke used to adore having a little brother, he was under the impression he would get a brother like the people at school have siblings. Like a little toy that you loved.

- His resentment grew when his parents focus shifted onto the new baby, and then doubled when Kusuo turned out to be better than him in many ways

- slowly degraded Kusuo bit by bit until he decided to up and leave. Sort of realizes, he's in the wrong but has no idea how to fix it

- The games they play was an attempt to have a normal brotherly bond. It does not work out as intended but they talk.

- Unintentionally cruel to others, when he realizes, he doubles down.

- Has inflated himself into a god complex and later instilled that into Kusuo

- Kuniharu used to call Kusuo "My Little Monster"(Affectionate) that was later twisted by Kusuke and now Kusuo does not like the association

Now from some Crpssover Headcanons that add on from the Above. Just a little

- When Kusuo disappeared, His parents initially assumed he was off to train. After 2 days they got worried, a week later they began to panic

- Kusuke sent over the robot in an attempt to ger Kusuo to come back. When he didnt, he flew down to really look into wgat happened. He has been unable to figure it out.

cause I just enjoy the suffering of others, how would the boys react when they find out the mc has died and been dead for sometime

So we are saying that after they had dated that MC had died and they have now found out after a period of time right?

*we are crying here omg*

Niko may have lost touch with you, but he never stopped thinking about you – you were his first friend, first love, first everything, remember? So if he learns that something has happened to you, even years after you last spoke, it’s going to hit him incredibly hard. He’s going to feel like a piece of himself died as well. Not much will change outwardly, he’s always going to be working hard in his fashion career, but on the inside, he’s going to feel just incredibly hopeless. Markus … yeah, he’s not gonna cope. Well, he already wasn’t coping with the breakup, but this will be a whole, whole lot worse. He’d have been actively keeping tabs on you, so he’d know right away that something happened, and he’ll blame himself for not being there to stop whatever it was. Then he’d just immediately go back to the broken boy he was before you came into his life, going hard on the drinking and the drugs and the one night stands and never letting himself close to anyone ever again.

Jules would be shattered. Though you had left him, he never held anything against you. He would always deeply care for you, even as life moved on, he cared. Hearing you had died would shatter him. Lost the chance to try and reach out, gain closure for both you and him, unable to say his final goodbyes. He would live the rest of his life with the regret of what he lost.

I desperately hope that the renegades are absolutely abolished in the spin off series. I need Nova to realize that, while the anarchists were worse, the renegades aren’t great either and her switching sides so fully and suddenly was just a knee-jerk reaction to leaving the anarchists and her and Adrian and the others rebel again at the council and put a real democracy with true equality in place. i also want nova pov again, but i know the chances of that are very low since i think we can assume it will be Evie x Max

There was something enticing about the fairytales, how the endings were always happy for the hero and a learning experience for the villain. Once upon a time, Steve believed in happy endings. He viewed himself as a hero, liked by many and revered in the town.

Just like the fairytales though, his life wasn’t what it seemed. As he grew, the idea of a happy ending grew more and more unattainable. The jeers at school became shoves into lockers, his father’s disappointed looks at home evolved into punches that would leave hidden bruises, and his mother’s silence became more suffocating.

He stopped viewing himself as a hero when Barb died. He’d never once read a fairytale where the princess’s best friend died at the bottom of the hero’s backyard pool in an alternate dimension. His view continued to devolve with each beating, every concussion, and lonely night.

When Eddie came into the picture, Steve came to an epiphany. The metalhead that had become the villain to Steve for stealing the kids was just a regular guy. He realized that the villains in the fairytales weren’t evil after all. They were just normal people villainized for the misunderstandings of others. So, he got close to Eddie.

Then Eddie almost died, Steve almost died, and then they started dating while their hospital beds sat side by side. The town’s hero fell in love with the town’s villain and neither of them could be happier.

But, as Steve had come to realize over the years, there was no such thing as a happy ending. He let his guard down and bared his heart, a mistake he wouldn’t make in the future. Right as he settled and felt comfortable in life, Eddie’s dreams came true. He was whisked away in a tornado of notoriety, fame, and music while Steve sulked behind.

Steve couldn’t even be mad, he knew it would happen. Because happy endings didn’t exist, at least not for people like him.

another thing abt mari lying to adrien is that its the result of gabriels final act of manipulation. when he asked mari to lie he was banking on her love for adrien- he 100% intentionally used that against her to maintain and even improve his own reputation. especially after finding out shes lb, gabe knows that marinette loves to a fault and would do anything for adrien. gabes abuse didnt end with his death, in fact, his death is only perpetuating it

They finally added the leaked dialogue for when you romance Minthara as Gale and then ascend!!!

(If you just want to see the new dialogue skip to 1:48)

[cononeillbreastingboobily]

One of the things I'm particularly bitter about when it comes to this ending is how it flattened Ed and Izzy's relationship.

You can't, in the same season give me

"I have... love for you, Edward." "I loved you, best I could." "Artsy outsider was always your thing." "A shark did this."

and

"Hello Mr. Latch! it's not your fault you're broken, no. Were just trying to do your job, weren't ya?"

and expect me to just... move on from that, accepting that we will never get anything more from them, that their relationship won't get explored, that they won't have a the chance, time and space to finally talk it through as a crew, to air out their grievances, to reach a boiling point, and to decide where to move on from there. Within just a few episodes they became the most fascinating part of the show for me, and the fact that, as far as we know, this is it for them... yeah, I don't like that at all.

Doctor’s Touch

AN: In my daydream, reader was a Dr who lost their licence, in this fic they just have a lot of anatomy knowledge. Also, I haven’t watched this show in like 4 years (I stopped when Alica had a gun pointed at the Professor) so forgive me if something is wrong

CW: Suggestive, no actual smut but some implications, thus MDNI/AGLESS BLOGS DNI

WC: 0.360k

��Does everyone understand? Using these labels-” the Professor holds up the sticky notes with the names of internal organs and major arteries “- show on your cadavers where they are located.” 

You half-heartily flip through your stack, ignoring the “cadaver” lying on a clump of desks while you and your partner stand on either side of him. Due to the uneven numbers you got set with the only group of three, one of whom annoyed you to no end, and the other who was in your bed last night. 

The chatter in the room grows louder as the different groups get to work, deciding where the spleen and liver are located, or if a heart is really in the center of the chest. You start placing cards down on Berlin's torso, trying not to have flashbacks of the night before. There's a small bruise you sucked into his jaw facing you, but you doubt he noticed. He would have said something about it last night or this morning or…

“What are you doing?” Tokyo's voice dragged you back to reality. You glance up at her, trying to hide the bewilderment you’re sure is on your face. 

“Labeling? Like we’re supposed to?” 

“It’s wrong.” Her face leaves no room for argument, but you want to push back. All the details are supposed to be kept hidden, but you know the Professor wanted you for this job because of your medical knowledge. 

“I can assure you, it's not.” 

“The kidneys are too low.” Tokyo picks up the kidney card and moves it higher around the liver. You take the card and move it back, setting your hand over it so she can’t “correct” you again. The guise of the exercise allows you to touch him like that, without drawing looks from the other thieves or worse, the professor. 

“Ladies, ladies, please no need to fight. There’s plenty of me to go around.” Berlin croons under your touch. 

“You’re a cavador. Stop talking.” You snap at him, and try not to flinch when his hand snakes around and pinches the back of your thigh, above your knee. He smiles at how you shake your leg even though his eyes are now closed. 

You let Tokyo place a few more cards on his body, more concerned with how you are going to get back at him tonight.
