Do you have any more information on that when’s were peach fell in love with bowser eyes 👀 it interest me a lot

Powser is my favorite Mario ship... So yes, I do >:3

Let us renember; in my headcannon, Peach is SEVEN FOOT THREE! Imagine how huge Bowser is if he can grab her up like this!?!?

This post shall also be done in dot points for my sanity XD also, this will be referring to the Powser Timeline of my Mario's Galexy.

In this cycle, Mario and Luigi showed up much later, so they aren't around for a good while. So when it came to maintaining the peace of The Strangelands, it fell on our beloved princess' shoulders. In fact, in this timeline, Bowser doesn't get to kidnap her because she approached him first for peace between their nations.

Bowser had been planning to take over the Mushroom Kingdom for the same reasons I stated in my Mario AU post. So you can imagine how surprised he was when he received an invitation to the very palace he was planning on conquering in the first place. He took this as a chance for a surprise take-over, and told his men to prepare as such.

... The thing is, though, he expected to come face to face with a sentient mushroom ruler. Not the beautiful, kind-hearted, and collected Princess Peach we know and love to greet him at the edge of her city. He actually thought she was a passing human, but no. The toads flanking her sides introduced her as their princess. And when Peach approached Bowser with a sweet smile and took one of his clawed fingers in both of her hands, he fell in love instantly... Which was quite the show when his koopa troops surrounded the princess and her toad guards as was the original plan 😅 Bowser had to quickly call them off, and come up with an excuse on the spot as to why his koopas would point their spears at her.

Peach: Wh-What is this!?

Bowser: No! No! It, uh... Y-You see, my princess *totally not squealing on the inside for getting to say that* uh... My people, we uh...

The Koopas: 😶😶🤨🤨🤨🤨

Bowser: We aren't used to uh... Friendly people, such as you.

Peach: Really?

Bowser: Yeah, yeah! It uh... We were expecting an attack, actually-

Koopa: But my lord, you said-

Bowser: *gives him the 'shut the shell up!' Look*

Peach: Oh, you poor koopas! 🥺 don't worry. You will find nothing but acceptance and peace among the toads. And with our alliance, we'll be sure to offer your people the prosperity you deserve ^^

Bowser: *definitly not wondering what Peaches ring size is already* Right, that's why we're here! For peace! Haha...

(Eventually, after they get married, Bowser tells Peach the truth of what happened. To which she surprises him by confessing she already knew, but decided to give him a chance since he called off his troops, and she's glad she did. My Peach may be a pacifist, but she's not blind.)

Anyways, they went inside her kingdom, and Bowser not only got to see a side of The Strangelands he never did get to see in The Darklands, but was also shocked at how peacefully they were able to work together. Peach never spoke down to him or his people, and made sure neither side would be treated unfairly in their kingdoms union. He was honestly amazed, having never seen anything political being taken care of through non-violent means. It made him reflect on his own laws and Kingdom, too. But he wanted to leave a good impression on Peach, so he tried to paint his kingdom and ruling in a positive light... Which failed miserably 😅😅😅 but at least it encouraged Peach to renain in contact with him and help bring his people into a new, kinder era, so... He considers it a win.

There was a lot of work to be done. Imagine if all of the main Mario games focused on Peach and Bowser teaming up and fixing various issues between their kingdoms. That's how much time passed between them after that first meeting (I actually wanna see that 🤔 Bowser being able to use force and offense when Peach's negotiations and defense fail, and vice versa. Kinda like Bigby and Snow from The Wolf Among Us). But it only made Bowser fall for her harder, and eventually Peach started to fall in love with Bowser, too. And since their kingdoms were already united, it seemed like the most natural course of action ^^

Their love and marriage lasted for the rest of their lives. Raising the koopalings and Junior, and changing all of the Strangelands for the better. However, it all ended on the star festival, as it always does with each cycle; Bowser, Peach and their children were all enjoying a night of fun and collecting star bits, and forming the final grand star before their timeline ends with the galexy resetting itself... Unfortunately, Bowser and Peach don't fall in love in the next cycle, but they at least had their happy ending while they had it...

I hope this timeline makes sense 😅 but! Time for headcannons/tid-bits of the Powser Galexy Cycle!

As you can see, Bowser is still a bit of a goof in this timeline. In fact, he's able to show that side of himself more in this cycle than in previous cycles. That's because there's no need for him to be so tyrannical, and because his precious wife encourages him to let this side of him out ^^

Even so, he still knows how to lay down the law. Peach, she is a good and benevolent ruler. However, there were plenty of times when people tried to take advantage of that. Whether it be neighboring kingdoms during negotiations, enemies trying to take over her kingdom, or even their own people trying to get out of paying for a crime they committed. In that case, Bowser is always there to make sure nobody tries to pull the wool over Peach's eyes. He's kind of like her guard dog, standing behind her with his arms crossed and ready to roast somebody if they hurt or try to fool Peach... Needless to say, this does make people think twice about trying to harm the princess.

Though on the flip side, Peach is able to get Bowser to realize when aggression is unnecessary and whether or not a punishment for a criminal is just or too extreme. It's not uncommon in the kingdom to see Peach by Bowsers' side, holding his claw and keeping him calm enough to see reason and keep things smooth during meetings. If Bowser is her guard dog, then Peach would be his emotional support kitty.

Sometimes, just to tease Peach or because he needs he close in that moment, Bowser will pick up Peach just like in the gif above to give her a kiss, whisper something in her ear, or even during meetings and he and Peach need to talk without anyone else listening in. Sometimes, Peach will hop up onto his shoulder to peck his cheek and see him turn red ^^

In my previous post, I said that Ludwig was the first to be adopted, followed shortly by Iggy. They were actually brought in by Bowser before he and Peach were married. Even though they weren't a couple, however, Peach fell in love with them instantly and would constantly ask Bowser how he and his sons are doing. And he even trusted her enough to send them to her palace whenever necessary! 🥺🥺🥺 Peach treated them like her own, and when they came back, the first thing Iggy asked his dad was why aren't he and mama Peach married yet? This was actually what encouraged Bowser to finally confess his love to her ^^ (Ludwig was in his emo phase at this point, so he was just like "Yeah, she's alright." // "Shut up, Luddy, you still have the violin Peach got you." // "SHUT UP!-")

As such, Ludwig and Iggy are the only koopa kids who remember having only Bowser as a parent. The other koopa kids, even though lived under the rule of Peach and Bowser, were adopted after they got together.

After they were married, they built their own palace on the borders of both of their kingdoms. Peaches' original castle is the families' summer vacation home, and Bowsers Castle is their winter vacation home.

The Mario Bros come to The Strangelands during Bowser and Peach's wedding planning, actually XD when they were due to be married within a week, in fact. Larry found them first and showed them to his parents like they were cool bugs or stones he found XD "Mama, look! They look like you, but very small!" They were able to fix some plumbing issues in the castle that would have potentially interferred with the wedding, so Peach and Bowser promised to help them find their way back home for their help ^^ (I like to think Mario may have developed a mini crush on Peach, but since she was getting married, it obviously went nowhere.)

When it comes to parenting, Peach is the more firm parent. Bowser loves his kids, and he can discipline them. But... He's weak. He can't do it unless it's something serious. And we know he spoils his kids 😅😅😅 Peach loves them to peices as well! But she knows where to draw the line with them and makes sure Bowser doesn't go too far with spoiling them or letting their antics slide. As such, they actually grow up less bratty and not so "we just love being mean!" Then they do when it's just Bowser raising them. Imagine Peach being like Mary Poppins with them, making sure they behave without being aggressive about it. Except she's their mother, not their nanny. Daisy though, is their cool aunt.

When it comes to Junior, Bowser still made him on his own. Even though he and Peach wanted to try for kids, their drastic size and biology differences did make them hesitate. So, to stay on the safe side, Bowser incubated Juniors egg all on his own. Though this time, he had Peach tp take care of him through the draining process and take care of their kids ^^ (and that's how, in the current timeline, Bowser Jr. Still has buried memories of a past life with Peach as his mother. Just not by blood.)

A kinda funny thing though, is that when the palace is under attack, Bowser will go face the threat and the koopalings will surround Peach in their own version of a kill circle XD even though she's their mama, it's no secret that she's the most delicate family member (koopa babies, while still being fragile compared to adult koopas, are still pretty tough compared to humans. I mean, Lemmy and Junior, the youngest kids, already have sharp spikes on their shells 😬). So even though Peach will stand between her babies and any threat, her kids really are the next line of defense if, for whatever reason, Bowser fails.

Though, Peach is still a mama. And any mother worth their salt would break a man in two for touching her baby... That is actually what people find out in this timeline, after the one and only time Peach was actually kidnapped in this cycle. She had Junior with her, so he was taken too. Bowser pulled up with his battleships, ready to destroy the whole galexy to get his wife and son back... Only for him to find his darling, wouldn't-hurt-a-fly wife having tossed her vow of pacifism out the window and curb stomping her and her sons' kidnapper the second she broke out of the cage. That was just more proof to Bowser he found the perfect woman. (He still set fire to the guy when Peach was done with him. The koopa kids all think their mom is even cooler now.)

Oh yeah. Bowser still writes Peach love songs. And Peach writes him so many lovey dovey letters- yes, even after they're married- and bakes him many cakes. They love each other so much 💕

So yeah. They are a pretty dynamic duo with running kingdoms and raising families in this timeline ^^ Thank you for sending this in! I hope you enjoy reading this ^^

★ 𝐖𝐄𝐀𝐊 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐊𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐒. + 𝐓𝐎𝐉𝐈 𝐅𝐔𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐆𝐔𝐑𝐎

masterlist. / taglist. / any request? synopsis. to your surprise, Toji shows up at your family holiday get together looking nothing but charming, and making buddies with your aunties but he quickly makes it clear that he's only there for you and that he really misses you.

─── ☆ notes. i failed the: trying to post all the wips i have without getting distracted by another idea challenge .

─── ☆ length. 2.4k (19 min read) .

─── ☆ genre and warnings. +18 nsfw under the cut. minors dni, porn with barely any plot, collage au, teacher and student relationship, secret relationship, legal age gap, corruption kink(?), oral sex(f), quickies, unprotected sex, bathroom sex, annoying cousin core, nosy relatives, holiday break is brought up but not in detail, gotta be a few typos in there somewhere knowing me | — feedback is always welcomed & don't forget to reblog 🤍

Once you had a taste of the true freedom that came with adulthood, you never wanted to come back home to your strict parents. Growing up with strict parents who didn't do anything but breathe down your neck your entire life

Making you out to be nothing but the naive and sweet daughter that they could form from their generic cookie-cutter mold that came with being from your pristine and perfect family.

The only time you were truly yourself was when you were away from your parent's reach and guidance in another state, and you were allowed to spend the time wilding out at college.

While all you had to do was keep your grades straight, knowing your parents would pull you out of school the second they learned that you were even thinking about falling behind.

There were still times when all you could do was study because your social life hinged on whether or not you passed all of the courses that your parents had hand-picked for the degree that they had planned for you.

But, unbeknownst to your parents, you weren't the timid little homebody they imagined you to be during those breaks in between classes and studies.

It was easy to come out of your shell with the type of extroverted roommates and friends that you had.

Not to mention the glow up you had when finally learning how to dress in a style that wasn't handpicked by your overbearing mother.

It was only a matter of time before you would catch the eye of someone on campus, but none of those boys really mattered when it came to competing with a certain older man in your life.

You had met Toji when he was your university's fitness coach, spotting him while he was in the open gym.

you had thought he was just another fit hot college guy, given the swarm of other guys around him being friendly toward him.

Judging him to be just another conceded gym rat, it took your very unathletic behavior for him to notice you right away striking up a conversation with you on how you would end up straining your back and possibly snapping your spine holding a weight the way that you did.

The incident was enough to spark a small friendship, becoming your gym buddy.

It was around that time that you found out he was pushing forty the same age as your parents. but that didn't seem to bother you much given that a few weeks after that discovery you would make the first move and offer to have more than a friendship with Toji.

That was the same night you had found out how it felt to be overstimulated from having one too many orgasms.

you weren't bothered by Toji's age, the upkeep of his appearance being the main reason you hadn't bat an eye at your relationship only really keeping him on the down low just cause he was a high school friend with your father—and the entire reason you had even gotten accepted into the college by the sake of his reference—in which the bond that he had with your dad was something close to brotherly love, yet how you two had just met around the time you were 21 and thriving with beauty was just the messy work of god stirring the pot from above.

You would agree that your relationship with Toji was just a bit along the lines of being taboo, going behind closed doors to release some of that exam season tension if there's one thing Toji was skilled at it was how to make you relax.

Exams weren’t the only reason you were forced to settle down from your new free spirited weekend plans, but it was the holiday season once more where you bid your dorm room farewell traveling back to the house you grew up in.

it only took a step into your family home to have you reverting back to that docile child you once were a few years back when you were an undermotivated higher schooler being a walking minion to every command from your parents and elders.

Expecting the break to unroll the same as every other holiday break did while you were home, especially given that your parents were the ones hosting a dinner party, having everyone spread all along the place.

What you hadn't expected to see among the familiar faces of your relatives, was the man that you were hooking up with standing tall and lean in your living room chatting it up with your handsy aunties.

you had only been gone for three days, yet your eyes latched onto Toji as if it were the first time in years you had seen him again.

The older women flocked around him, snickering at his attractive face and clinging to any ounce of attention that he gave them.

You couldn't show that you were starting to become jealous and also a bit disgusted over some of the ways they would compliment him "grown people talk" they would call it before telling you to mind your business and bump you out of the conversation.

It wasn't Toji's fault that he was just drop-dead gorgeous, dressed in a plain button down and dark slacks, had you thought he managed to look so attractive.

With his collar unbuttoned and sleeves rolled up to the mid of his forearms daring to show off just how muscular he truly was as if the way his shirt hadn't hugged him at the waist wasn't enough.

You had to remember how to breathe again once you had caught sight of how well his pants were fitting him.

It was a frustrating game of cat and mouse throughout the afternoon, no matter how hard you had tried to break away from a conversation a new person would come around the corner calling out your name just to bombard you with the same boring questions on how your life was going.

It was the same boring questions that you were just starting to answer things on autopilot, one of your older cousins catching you off guard going off script, and striking you at just the right time for you to spill all the juicy details on your dating life.

Catching more attention even your aunts suddenly became interested in your conversation perching up to hear all about what you were off doing at college.

you weren't stupid, knowing that most of them were listening just to get dirt and gossip ready to flap their mouths to your parents about how much of an "adventure" you were on instead of focusing on your studies.

You decided to tease the idea a bit instead referring to Toji as “just a boy you were talking to” reassuring them that it was absolutely nothing that seriously held you back from your grades.

Toji had seemed to find your answer so hilarious, not even bothering to hide his chuckle or the way he bit his lip staring you down as if he were undressing you.

The eye contact hadn't gone on long enough for anyone else but you to notice, turning away from you as he continued with his conversation with one of your relatives.

Your cousin thought it was all bullshit, given your lack of track record in the dating department.

Toji being your first real “boyfriend” since one of the church boys your father was trying to set you up with or the one time you had gotten asked out as a prank you couldn't judge her much on the assumption.

You wondered how shocked everyone would be if they knew what type of relationship you had with Toji.

How crude they would find it that the minute you could slip away upstairs to your bathroom with Toji right on your tail just to have his head between your legs and his working all your tension away with his skilled mouth.

The moment that you had shut and locked the door Toji was all over you. His muscular arms reached to grab you by the back of your thigh, lifting you up to sit on top of the sink.

The clatter of the soap dispenser and toothbrushes falling to the floor was quickly disregarded by the both of you being wedged against the wall and Toji’s chest, just for him to drop to his knees on the floor and part your legs diving under your skirt.

Hurried rough kisses turning into you having to hold your skirt up to your stomach with the same arm that you used to muffle the sounds coming from your mouth.

The spread of Toji’s hands wrapped around your legs could almost fit the spread plush of your thick thighs, as they rested against the countertop.

His touch was warm against your skin, yet not comparable to how hot his mouth felt against his tongue worked against your clit.

He licked and sucked like he had craved the taste of you, not even a few days apart, and yet he would never admit how much he had missed you. “Relax honey I gotcha” Toji spoke with a rasp from between your thighs.

A whine parted from your lips as he made do with his fingers pressing into you with a shuddering sound of your arousal sucking the digits in deeper, distracting you with his thumb rubbing against your clit.

All you could do was melt against his touch alluring, holding yourself up against the counter with the bend of your other arm.

When you had repositioned yourself to knot your hand into a fistful of Toji’s hair, had you seen the small squares from the tiles being pressed into your skin like patterns indented into your flesh.

Toji hand trailed up your leg hooking at your knee and pushing it up to place one leg up against the counter for better access between your legs.

His fingers wandered high, up past your waist finding the hem of your shirt, and sneaking under to find your bra needing your breast under the cups enticing a small cute noise of encouragement from you.

The wet noises from his fingers pistoning in and out of you quickly filled the small room, with the feeling of his other circling against the bud of your nipple, and the sensitivity to his touch was promising your orgasm was quick to come.

And then the door handle rattled, and your body went rigid.

Your hands flew to the knob of the sink, turning the water on to drain out your own noise of wetness squelching against Toji's fingers.

His lips pulled away from yours down under, and you shuddered at the sight of him crouched down with his lips glossed and eyes glazed over, watching his dark eyes glance at the door before flickering to look at you with a smirk.

The interruption came in the form of your cousin behind the door making a fuss about you hiding away from everyone, their voice heard insulting you for being so antisocial.

“Okay, I’ll be out soon.” You had tried to shout but part of your words struggled as your hips jerked. Toji’s fingers are inside of you, finally understanding the mischievousness behind his smile still looking at you as if he were observing.

“Girl hurry up, don't make me tell your mom you’re out here locking doors!”

Your head fell back against the wall, cursing your family for being the world's biggest cockblocks.

Toji stood to his feet, pressing his face against your neck nuzzling his chin against your nape. You tilted your head to the side to make more of the kisses that he trailed to the expose of your collarbone.

“Let’s make this quick.” He whispered into your ear, sending a shiver up your spine that had you arching away from the wall pressing into his chest.

It took your brain a moment to process what he had meant behind the suggestion, startled at the sudden push of his tip being replaced by his fingers too far gone to even hear him undo his belts and unzip his pants.

The thrust of his hips made a punched noise come from your throat, a noise that your cousin would have definitely heard from behind the door if it weren't for Toji pressing his palm against your mouth.

His hand kept your chorus of whimpers to a minimum, trembling at how effective his pace was.

Your arms wrapped around the arm holding your mouth shut, “Come on princess, you gotta let it go.”

The tingles that followed after the nickname had your eyes rolling, pressing them closed tight to the point where you were seeing stars.

Too far gone to worry about the death grip you had against Toji’s forearm, your nails making crescent marks into his pale skin as your orgasm had finally been coaxed out of you.

Your body trembled as Toji held your hips in place to keep you from falling off the countertop.

He hummed as your thighs trapped him against you for a beat longer, planting him in place until you had come down from your high letting your legs part.

The first thing you processed was Toji caressing your face softly, waiting for your eyes to open before pulling you in for a quick kiss.

“You owe me.” He placed another kiss against your temple. “Big time.” and then you were once more empty.

Blinking you realized Toji was tucking himself back into his pants, making an effort to appear like he hadn't just done a quickie with his best friend's daughter in their family bathroom.

Watching as he shifted his hands through his pants, trying to reposition himself so it wasn't obvious that he had an erection.

Toji was a gentleman as he helped you slip your panties back on, having to hop from the counter to shimmy them back on over your thighs.

“I think I officially hate my family.” You exhale, reaching towards Toji for one final hug pressing against his very obvious dick print.

The spread of his palm meeting your entire face, the man swerving your embrace instead spinning to face the door.

“Yeah yeah,” he muttered, carrying no real threat in his tone instead teasing you by pulling you with your back against his chest and pressing himself against your leg.

“Just know I’m only being a gentleman because your family is here but next time I won't be as merciful.”

Shattered Reflections (Four Swords AU) Lore Post #1

Relationships, how they know each other, Etc.

--- --- --- Vio and Shadow are 100% canon. They are boyfriends and would do anything for each other. The other canon relationship for my AU is and i hopefully will not get kicked for is Red and Blue. another two nerds who will go to the ends of the earth for each other. what can i say? sweet and salty, opposites attract, balance, whatever. all that cliché jazz.

Green is single, and he's chill with that. Alright. so. Blue and Green are twins. Blue is older by 3 minutes. Red and Vio are cousins. Vio is older by 5 months. Shadow was just found one day/hj

THEY ARE NOT ALL RELATED, ABSOLUTELY NO SIBLINGS OR RELATIVES ARE ROMANTICALLY OR SEXUALLY INVOLVED WITH EACH OTHER.

Red and Vio knew each other from family gatherings and also went to the same elementary school. Vio helped Red deal with his parents and Red helps Vio with coming out of his shell.

Green met Red in high school through a cooking class, (Green is not really good at cooking btw), becoming friends and the group of the colours got formed. they are all now sharing a living space as they move through college and life.

Vio met Shadow as they were both kicked out of the public library at closing hours and bonded over the books they were rushing to check out, both having interests in Ancient Hylian Magic and the Legend of Vaati. It was over 6 months of hopeless pining over each other before either one made any moves. Red met Blue through the friend group, Red having dragged Vio to meet Green because Vio usually just hung out in the library during lunch breaks. Green brought Blue as the two twins were inseparable when they were younger. and that was how their main little group was formed. (Shadow came in a tad later)

Red and Blue's mutual affection blossomed over the time of the Colours living together. Blue originally didn't really understand Red's energy back in High School and sometimes got a tad annoyed with him. Though once he actually gave Red the time of day he quickly softened to Red and actually came to enjoy Red's spirit. Red won't admit it, but he didn't know how to interact with Blue and just tried by any means necessary. they have since learned how to interact with one another. As of the beginning of the AU they are not dating yet but are on the cusp of something coming to front and spilling over. (love, they're in love your honour, and just shy and gay)

Green doesn't really have a coherent romantic life planned out as of yet. or who knows it may just be a surprize 'cause I'm so smart like that.

Any questions are fully welcomed!!! just be respectful please!! drop it in the comments or in my ask box! i hope y'all can have as much fun with this AU as myself and Sleepy have been having.

(this is the space i will be linking the other lore bits)

#shattered reflections AU #next lore post is rants about Red.#be ready i love him so much #he has way too much character development.#four swords adventures #four swords #four sword #blue link #red link #vio link #green link #shadow link #zaiah writes #legend of zelda #tloz #zaiah rants

surprise visit

summary: blair stops by copia's office during the day, and he can't get enough of them.

word count: 666 (hell yeah)

warnings: none! just some silly fluff with early relationship copiablair ^^

Blair walked with much more pep in their step than they had before on their walk to the Cardinal’s office, the folder tucked under their arms practically forgotten. It was meant to be the main reason they were even going there in the first place, but there were much more pressing matters. They were practically skipping, and humming a lighthearted tune. Stopping at his door, they knocked, and cleared their throat before putting on a more professional tone.

“Cardinal?” They asked, and not but a few seconds later the door swung open, and a familiar leather-clad glove grabbed them and pulled them into the office, shutting the door quickly and making them squeak with surprise. They immediately found themself pressed up against the door, with their boyfriend Copia hungrily kissing them, first on their lips before trailing down what was exposed of their neck.

“H-hi, honey bun!” They let out a giggle at his eagerness, their hands instinctively draping over his shoulders and pulling him closer to them.

“Mm, I missed you,” He murmured in between kisses, as he left lipstick marks they were sure they'd have to fret over hiding before they left.

“Didn't you just see me this morning?”

“I know, I know, but I just can't get enough of you…Did you miss me?” His eyes sparkled as he looked up at them, almost pouting.

“Of course I did, my love,” They brushed their nose affectionately against his before returning his kisses with the same affection. “And I’ll see you again tonight, I assume?” Copia was backing Blair up against his desk now, and they hopped up without much effort, wrapping their legs around his to pull him close.

“If you'd like to,” He bobbed his eyebrows up and down suggestively, earning a giggle from his partner. As they went to stabilize themself by resting on their hands, they were reminded of what they came here for.

“Oh! Right! I have…this!” They awkwardly put the folder down on the desk behind them. “Expenses. For the tailor. Sorry, didn't mean to kill the mood,” They muttered sheepishly. “Where were we?”

“We were discussing whether or not you'd be joining me again tonight for a midnight snack, I believe.”

“Is that a euphemism?” Copia snickered at their response, now back to kissing them. Ever since they got together, he was insatiable, always needing his hands or his lips on them every moment they were alone. This…thing, whatever it may be, was still very new and so they had decided to not tell anyone for the moment, relishing the stolen moments like this they could have together. This hadn't stopped Blair from coming over almost every night lately though, staying up late enough that no one would be out to see them making their way to their Cardinal's quarters, and leaving in the early hours of the morning, before anyone was up and about to see them leaving with tousled hair and before they covered up the love bites with a high-collar blouse and some concealer. It was disastrous for their sleep schedule, but to say it was worth it is an understatement.

“Mayyyybe, but also I was hoping you could bring some of those cookies you said you were going to make, they sounded quite tasty,” Blair snorted out a laugh.

“You've really got quite the sweet tooth, hm?” Blair played with his hair absentmindedly before seeing the clock on the back wall. “Oh shit, I've got to get back!” as they tried to get up, Copia resumed his affections, this time his moustache ticking their neck making them giggle as they playfully pushed him away. “I have to go! My boss will wonder where I am,” They said with a snort of a laugh as he held tighter to them.

“Tell him your Cardinal needed your assistance with something, and stay just a little while longer,” His breath was soft against the shell of their ear.

Well, they weren't going to say no to that.

#just a silly little snippet i felt okay posting..okay to reblog but be niceys #writing your f/o being totally infatuated with you is something that can be so personal #self ship #self shipping #cardinal copia #my honey bun 🖤#can you feel me longing for you forever?#what do you have to say doll?

Seren's Studies: Odd Squad UK -- "A Dicey Situation" Episode Followup, Part 1

Captain O origins episode! "Totally Odd Squad" Mk. II! Call it what you like, I'm just hoping this is good. After the hell that was "Mission O Possible", I like to be prepared. Almost anything could surpass that, really.

Let's dive in below the break! (Pun unintended.)

...It's another Tasha episode.

I can hear that stupid "oh no" TikTok song playing as I fucking type this. I'm not confident after "The Triangle Sisters". I'm praying to Don't-Fuck-This-Up-God.

Hey. Hey. You guys remember when Otis threw a fit because Rebecca was exploiting Odd Squad for moving services?

This is just as egregious and yet will go entirely undetected. You don't need two pseudo-government agents to pull up Google Maps and punch in the location of the nearest Aldi's, for God sakes.

I see this milk came from the same cow that the Town Baker's milk came from.

I'd go investigate that cow, really.

You guys also remember Otis giving therapy to a plant?

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS IS BUT IT'S MILK. And it's just as amusing here as it was there.

"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day!"

Thank you, edutainment overlords, for this obligatory healthy eating message.

Asshole cereal box is making up lies for himself, methinks. Dude just tipped over on his own the second his owner picked up the milk pitcher.

hhhhheeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY THIS AIN'T MY SWAMPS 'N GATORS. WHERE'S MY SWAMPS 'N GATORS YOU CHUCKWADS.

...No but seriously what is this game and why does it look like Odd Squad Risk to me.

I remember when there was a brief shot of Oona failing at chess and Oprah telling her that's not how the game is played.

That was fun.

This is fun too, and nice to see, but it doesn't hit the same.

Good segue. Not as good as Oprah calling everyone out on their RPS strategies.

(You will see me make a lot of TOS cracks and references. I will not regret a single one of 'em.)

Hot damn, she can dim the lights with her mind! That's craaaaaaaaaaaazeeeeeeeeeeeeee-

So that would make her ship the Odd Squad Odd Squad.

Instead of Screw Steamer Odd Squad, or Steam Ship Odd Squad, both of which sound much better.

And are actually canon in the franchise.

(No, really. Go listen to the Squadcast. The S.S. Odd Squad is a 100% canon ship.)

Honestly, if you had told me about a year ago that that sailor in that promo picture SSE put out was a chef named Osgood, I'd have laughed at you.

RIP to the days when I thought that sailor was an assistant of Captain O's and not her first mate.

Ohhhh, a wavy flashback effect! Standard in a ton of shows, but Odd Squad has never really employed it as far as I'm aware. Nice to see they're going to effect basics!

Aside from that, wow that is...a tiny ship. Tinier than I was expecting. I was expecting something huge and not...y'know...a little BB thing.

I'm sorry, I just did an entire fuck-ass wheeze at her saying SHE KNEW OSGOOD SINCE NURSERY SCHOOL.

These two ARE FUCKING CHILDHOOD FRIENDS.

Genuinely fucking flabbergasted, because it's rare that we get childhood friends who were main characters in this franchise and joined Odd Squad together. Not even Olive and Otto can attest to that! Or Olympia and Otis!

Best bit in the entire episode so far bar nearly none.

I mean...on the plus side, at least he only has two mouths to feed.

That being said, I will once again raise the issue of there being couch cushions in a ship like that.

...Goldfish.

Huge-ass Goldfish.

You can't fool me.

They're Goldfish.

If there is one thing I utterly despise about Captain O as a character, it's the stupid euphemisms.

They're not amusing. They're not funny. I've heard better from other characters.

Okay, a shell phone is actually pretty clever. One point to Tasha, and don't make me revoke it as quickly as I did last time.

(Choosing to overlook the fact that there's an Admiral because...I mean...pretty standard sailor stuff. And me and other fans can work with the lore.)

Definitely not the intent, but I can't stop reading this line as utterly sarcastic since Captain O did a hard aversion off the "Newhart Phone Call" cliff.

"So this look isn't a fashion choice?"

Osgood, you poor Ohlm-like sonuvagun.

No, sir, actually those are holes. They got depth to 'em. Swiss cheese is not made with polka dots.

"See? You're a fashion trendsetter."

Ohhhhh it's like...the woman in "Double O Trouble"...but 's...fuckin' polka dots...

Great, I hate it, thanks.

*squints*

*more*

*even more*

...Bitch that is a cluster of fucking trees. That is not an island. Now how and why would you spend pounds on a fucking CLUSTER OF TRE-

THIS IS HOW THEY CHOOSE TO REMIND US THAT ORLI AND OZZIE ARE STILL HERE?????? WITH THE OBLIGATORY MATH LESSON?!?!?!?!?!?

Oh piss ALL the fuckin' way off.

If this is gonna have a lesson at the end, like in "The Weight of the World Depends on Orla", I'm going to lose my fuckin' mind.

Because, for all that Season 3 sucks, that episode was actually pretty solid.

it was just her and osgood

this guy shows up

not even the two canon characters from the odd squadcast they could've used

...I get it. You need someone to steer the ship. Fine. But for the love of God, just include the one driving the boat in your roll call!

I'm...I'm so tired. We are halfway into this episode. I am tired.

I honestly can't be bothered to ask why this woman has a rotary phone and how the fuck it can get service out here where there would, in most other instances, be no phone lines. Or electricity. OR FUCKING SPEAKERPHONE.

I do like the pirate getup Dottie here has going on, though.

Well, the last time a villain alleged to not have a pattern...they had a pattern.

I don't expect Dottie to be much different in that regard.

ohhhhhh oodelallyoohdelally it's the chekhov's gun wheeeeeeeeeeeeee-

She spun in the chair for all of time, bored out of her wits.

(On to Part 2!)

104 mirapa radio!! (103)

its the prep room now since they're preparing for the public recording in summer! also rinchan is here now

rinchan says shes been calling them "kanchan" and "konachan" lately. kankan says the cast has been trying to call her "kankan" since they normally call her "kanchan" and konachi says the same for nonsuke too, instead of "chuke" (but whines "nonsuke" isnt cute...)

rinchan is "rinchan" to both kankan and konachi, and konachi explains again if shes "rinrin" alongside "kankan" mirapa will sound like ueno zoo! kankan says "rinrin" makes her happy and konachi yells at her

rinchan says shes decided to have both options and konachi's immediately like "ok rinchan then" so kankan decided to use "rinrin" for balance. rinrin 🤝 kankan

kankan tells rinchan konachi has banned polite speech on this show. rinchan says she does normally use polite speech but shes realised she speaks casually online like while gaming but its weird irl. konachi tells her to try casual speech from now on

rinchan describes hime as "a cute but downer mirapa otaku gamer girl with a sweet tooth." kankan and konachi are surprised her answer was so good before realising she probably just figured it out beforehand

rinchan feels shes really connected to hime since theyre both fast eaters (kankan: me too...! 🥺) and talks about how when she and the other 104 cast go out for dinner together shes finished her main by the time the others have finished their soup. konachi then talks about how surprised she was when she saw how quickly kankan eats

[kankan and rinrin bonding over being fast eaters] konachi: i dont get this at all

konachi says one time kankan tried to pace herself against chuke since shes a slow eater ("she has a small mouth. cute!") but she couldnt resist

konachi says hime probably likes sweets that dont mess up her hands while gaming and eats fast probably so she can get Back to gaming

rinchan says the point she and hime are most similar is gaming. though she's also a massive sweet tooth as well (kankan: wow! im feeling such a connection!! konachi: between her and hime?? kankan: no me and her)

kankan and rinrin say their favourite sweet at the same time to see if they match. kankan's is mont blanc and rinrin's is nutella (konachi: wait im obsessed with nutella!!! rinrin: a connection... kankan: hey wait)

for the record konachi also likes mont blanc and kankan also likes nutella lol ... she actually likes yanyan tsukebou more than nutella...

konachi: i have this big jar of nutella rinchan: i eat it with a spoon konachi: um..

rinchan also eats honey with a spoon for her throat

rinchan says shes surprisingly outdoorsy and kankan and konachi immediately dont believe it. she says she doesnt really go to the mountains but she does like cycling. she goes to the beach and collects shells and has made a lamp out of seaglass. she's outdoorsy. (kankan: maybe outdoorsy level 1... konachi: idk i just dont see it your image is too strong)

rinrin: i really do have an indoors image... kankan: you're always gaming! whenever i get a discord notification its you gaming again!

rinchan says konachi joins to watch and leaves after a while [another discord server argument]

rinchan has no sense of direction and will get lost in places shes been before and still doesnt know where to get off the train to get to their dance practice studio. if she goes to the toilet in a mall or train station she wont remember where she came from

rinchan says when she teases the 104 cast by the time they react shes disappeared. "isnt konachan the same?" konachi: its not that rinchan can't hear she just isn't listening anymore. me, i got bored

"i cant multitask" "oh, same as kankan"

konachi's personal question for her: who's your hasunosora oshi!

"oh no. obviously i love everyone but i love mirakura park!" (annoyed kankan noises) (threats of mirapa divorce) "i have equal number of goods for each of you! honestly! um... help...!"

kankan says she saw her rinkura profile the other day and ruri was her home screen but rinrin counters by saying she always has a megu keychain on her bag. and on her pc desk she has a nesoberi of each!

kankan and konachi at the same time: And Which Does Your Heart Prefer rinchan: oh man im sweating. i. have two oshi.

kankan and konachi ask for her Saioshi so she asks who their 104 oshi is and when they cant pick one they move on to the next question lol

kankan's personal question for her: what's your favourite hasu song!

"uh.! when i first heard it i fell in love with on your mark but now its ishin denshin"

seeing their performance of on your mark made her want to audition so she could sing it but now shes passed it and joined mirapa shes listening to all of their songs and loves ishin denshin, especially the part at the beginning where they sing individually

rinchan describes hiichan as very serious and nervous when she doesnt have a script and fuuchan as very pure whos always smiling and has high tension. she lightens the atmosphere and shes just like kosuzu irl

rinchan points out sayaka-senpai's half twin tails in harukaze buranko and konachi says its megu-chan respect. kaho-chan is ruri-chan respect as well

they say miracreation is a song that could only be sung by the three of them, 104 mirapa

kankan says ladybug is already in the top ranks for her

they ask how it was singing on your mark since she had wanted to and she said it was difficult trying to connect hime with coolness but she got it eventually

rinchan talks about the pressure of being responsible for the songs of their senpai and the senpai that came before them and how she was nervous to sing parts of songs that used to be a senpai's part

this has been the first time theyve been able to talk longform since theyre normally doing afureco or practice when together so this was fun

kankan says she'll join voice chat next time and the other two say she always says that lmao. rinchan waits every day for her to come until its 2am! (kankan and konachi: because you game every day!)

since its golden week now they discuss what theyd do if they had a ten day break. konachi says she'd go to hokkaido or sendai, with kankan agreeing on sendai

rinchan says she'd go abroad, and asks if theyre afraid of flying. konachi immediately says kankan is, who explains she doesn't like takeoff or landing, and she can't sleep without something from home, so she brings her own towel or something to hold onto

kankan asks where overseas and konachi immediately says switzerland since its so beautiful and the food looks good. rinchan and konachi talk about how theyve seen switzerland on instagram and tiktok and think it looke amazing, from the mountains to the beaches to the buildings

kankan's like how do you two know so much about switzerland???

they decide theyd like to go to switzerland together but they need to get passports lol

the next corner is them presenting their ideas for the public recording, and they have to vote on whether its a good idea or not. kankan says she has five ideas she definitely won't give up on

they do a practice idea from the preparation committee first: "everyone in the venue does a supplementary lesson and a following test and if anyone gets a question wrong the event ends." obviously everyone says 👎

kankan asks rinchan how she does with studying and she says she often learns words incorrectly. and clarifies specifically japanese. she's good at english. konachi immediately says she isnt sure if that english counts if she just learned it from games lmao. rinchan says she's got a grade 2 eiken english qualification (approx A2/B1)!! and kankan says she's only got a grade 3 (A1) herself...

the next practice idea is recreating a natsumatsuri on the stage with stalls and a unit shooting competition (not like it will come across over the radio). konachi screams while rinchan reads it out and obviously they all say 👍

kankan says she wants to make cotton candy and goes wait isn't that ceribou [sugar melt mention]. she decides dollche reminds her of water so they can have water yoyos and so mirapa can have target shooting

kankan's first idea is they have chowchows on stage with them. konachi says 👎 but rinrin says 👍. they ask what the chowchows will do and rinchan asks if they'll have "abilities" (english) which kankan doesn't understand (she means tricks). rinchan also suggests putting mics up to them so they can hear them breathing so they decide on chowchow asmr

kankan starts saying something about the nine of them at rehearsals when konachi interrupts to say when the nine of them are together kankan looks like shes one of the first years. like, until now theyve been doing things as the 103 club, so she gets why theyre not that mixed yet, but there'll be infinity seats and kankan will be sitting with the first years lmao. itll be the second years and third years together and then "rinchan kanchan hii fuu"

anyway. kanchan lost her airpods and rinchan told her about an app that plays a noise so you can find them again and they were in rinchan's bag somehow [idk why they brought this up after talking about chowchows]

rinchan's first idea: hasunosora song intros quiz. 👍 Immediately no questions asked

konachi's first idea: wearing their character's casual outfits. 👍 immediately as well. she explains that theyre always in their school uniforms or a live outfit but since the event is during the summer holidays itd be nice to wear regular clothes. kankan adds she wants a three person mirapa outfit or a radio tshirt and konachi says yukata would nice too!

kankan's idea: hairstyle swap. konachi immediately makes fun of her for trying to get out of ruri's twintails. kankan complains konachi always makes fun of ruri's flowers. the others try and tell her she looks cute and she's the only one who suits them but they end up deciding rinchan should have them

kankan starts laughing that if uisama is sitting next to her she'd have to wear them and they laugh about nassu or hiichan in them as well

konachi suggests if they get a radio tshirt they'd design it themselves but rinchan says she can't draw. they say "isnt your writing really cute though?" and shes like "its really not" and they're like um..

konachi starts laughing and says her dad asked if ruri's autograph is messy on purpose, does she know who designed it? and she said it's because kankan wrote it lmao

kankan: its all my fault

she explains that when she feels like ruri she can't write slowly, and her family and friends and lots of others asked her "is rurino's autograph going to be like that forever?"

so it turns out she mixed up her Ls and Rs and written Lurino. so she corrected it by crossing out the L and writing an R next to it but staff thought it was a mistake so edited it to Rurino

she thinks its funny though and i think has recently asked them to use the non edited version from now on? [i think there's goods with the L crossed out and replaced with an R and a version that just says Rurino]

kankan says shes looking forward to hime's autograph (it was included in 104 doribiri already) and then asks to see rinchan's own autograph. konachi calls it a bird and rinchan corrects her to say its a penguin

konachi says its eyebrows are ugly and she explains it didnt originally have eyebrows but someone told her itd be cute so she added them and they were ugly but people told her they liked them so she keeps doing them (kankan: they're cute! [konachi silence of disapproval])

kankan says she wants rinchan to give her a tarot reading! she says in the 4/4 with×meets ruri talked about seeing a girl on the bus doing magic tricks and everyone got so excited hoping she'd be a new club member but it didn't happen lol (konachi scolds everyone for thinking a magician would go to an arts school like hasunosora lmao)

rinchan talks about mentioning she can read tarot and all of the senpai surrounded her lol

kankan also wants the three of them be DJs like in ishin denshin

after they play miracreation they talk about how fun itll be to perform live

kankan brings up at the end of the episode that she really wants chowchows at the recording lol

rinchan says if they arent allowed to do tarot readings she'll do it for them in the dressing room. konachi asks kankan what she wants reading and she says mirapa's future. when they ask what theyll do if she gets a bad reading so she changes it to her own future

they get a letter asking them to introduce themselves as kankan rinrin konakona and konachi protests but the others get her to try it once. so they redo the intro but kankan initiates it like unexpectedly genki which throws the others off so they ask to try again. konachi whines they said Once but they do it properly and she immediately says she doesnt like it lol

as the episode was released on kodomo no hi they talk about their childhoods. kankan says she was a serious kid to which konachi immediately asks for proof. kankan says she studied a lot and konachi asks if she's lying lol

konachi was a really shy kid (shyer than she is now) who couldnt talk to adults

hiichan introduces herself and kankan immediately goes "cerise bouquet are so unfair"

its hiichan's first ever radio appearance which she's been looking forward to. she also said brings up the special rule (no formal language) and says itll be hard since she isn't used to it but she'll do her best!

for her words of enthusiasm for this episode she talks about how she hasn't been able to talk about herself or interact with mirapa-san often since they normally do practice in units, so she really wants to talk a lot with them! (struggling to use casual speech)

a letter calls hiichan "hinahina" and its the first time she's ever been called that (konachi thinks this name is cute which makes rinrin and kankan complain lol)

mirapa say hiichan is very "ceribou" which she doesn't accept or deny but is happy about

kankan brings up that at hasu 2nd chiba hiichan asked if she'd like her to call her "kanna" and hiichan's like "i heard you might want to be called kanna" and konachi's like "who did you hear that from"

kanna-chan says girls who support her often call her "kanna-chan" so she feels like that name is exclusive to girls w

hiichan describes ginko as a yamato nadeshiko from kanazawa who loves tradition and she hopes she makes one hundred friends

she explains ginko mostly has friends of her grandparents' age and so it would be nice for her to make friends of her own for the first time at hasunosora. hiichan added her own personal wish for ginko to her description

rinchan says she loves ginko's interactions with kaho and konachi talks about how the sukisuki club all got interested in that last sentence of ginko's profile when it was released, "she struggles being honest with kaho"

hiichan says she thinks she and ginko are similar in how they think. theyre both only children so often do things by themselves. she really sympathised with one of ginko's lines about spending holidays alone

hiichan describes herself as someone who wants to do things properly. her hobby is doing relaxing things and her special skill is not getting lost

she says that things often go well, so people see her as 80% reliable, but the other 20% she is very nervous, like the MCs at lives, but the others are surprised and tell her they didn't even notice

kankan and konachi laugh at hiichan saying she doesn't get lost with zero hesitation. hiichan says that her classmates, especially rin, but fuuchan as well (kankan and konachi say she seems the type lol) get lost a lot, such as the first time they were at the studio, they were trying to get back to a room and they walked in opposite directions

rinchan's like "you have a good memory, hina" and konachi's like "maybe yours is just bad"

kankan tries to defend(?) rinrin by saying its not like shes stupid she just has a memory that forgets where she's going after three steps. she's probably missing something in her head (somehow not helpful)

kankan asks about the "idol appreciation" on hiichan's profile. hiichan says when she was in her first year of high school she had a came across a female idol group by chance and fell in love with one of the members at first sight and has been going to lives and supporting them ever since

rinchan says hiichan is always saying how cute she is and showing her pictures of her w

hiichan says her bangs obsession probably came from her love of idols. ever since she was a kid she'd watch idol mvs and copy them, and high school was when she started going see them and getting into oshikatsu. she took night buses from ishikawa to tokyo so she could buy goods and line up to meet them early in the morning

konachi switches topic to talk about how early hiichan wakes up/goes to sleep, as in her goodnight tweets are at like 10pm. konachi can't believe someone sleeps that early

hiichan says she doesn't understand how twitter works lmao. so she'll tweet goodnight and then stay up. she didn't know people would see her 2am retweets. on days she has work in the morning she'll wake up and post her good morning tweet within ten minutes, but on days off she'll set an alarm to wake her up to post and once she's done it she'll go back to sleep lol

hiichan says she sees tweeting good morning as an achievement and konachi tells her she should since she would never wake up just to tweet lmao

konachi compliments hiichan for tweeting useful information about the stamp rally and mirapa all wish hiichan could give them a tour around kanazawa on sehasu

rinchan's personal question for hiichan: what's your favourite thing about mirakura park!

hiichan says she loves how cute they are and their unique voices!

she says all the units have their own colour, but for mirapa-san, even when they're singing together you can pick out each of their (kankan, rinrin, konakona) voices. they don't interfere with each other but they are all part of one "mirapa"

mirapa thank her and say its the same for ceribou. hiichan's voice is like between kaho and kozue's, and its so clear

konachi says hiichan's voice is like a watercolour (suisai) while mirapa's are oil based (yusei) (kankan: we're yusei sekai)

kankan has two questions she wants to ask but konachi tells her to ask if hiichan has any kanazawa facts people don't know

hiichan says telephone poles around higashichaya and kenrokuen are buried underground so as to avoid disturbing the scenery which they find really cool

rinchan says hina told her about the small sprinklers ishikawa has in the road for melting snow to allow for vehicles since hokuriku is very snowy

hiichan says in high school she would hang out in kouribou, downtown from kanazawa station, where ruri-chan and megu-chan were in a card [petite pâtissière]. she'd go shopping or go to starbucks there like megu-chan. its a popular place for high school girls

kankan also asks hiichan her favourite hasu song and she answers reflection in the mirror!

obviously people know now that its an important song to ginko, but hiichan herself had listened to it a lot before it had been decided she had been cast as ginko. as reflection in the mirror is a song about encouraging someone when you're with them, she imagined it as ginko-chan encouraging her and pulling her along by the hand, so she was so happy when she found out its an important song to ginko as well (kankan: its like fate...)

mirapa compliment 104 reflection in the mirror and say they couldnt dance to it like ceribou did

konachi's personal question is who her oshi is besides ginko lol

hiichan says not including the senpai, it would be hime-chan! but she has two senpai in ceribou and she loves them both

of course she loves kosuzu and ginko, but she loves hime's uniqueness and her way of speaking, and her in game system voices are so cute she has to bite the inside of her cheek so she won't smile while listening to her

rinchan says hiichan is someone who laughs a lot, before referencing the afureco they did earlier. something about how much ruri changes her speaking mannerisms but this time her word choices were especially odd and "tokyo". kankan says she's been weird ever since she became a senpai. so rinchan said at that session hina was laughing a lot and konachi says she didnt know there were people who laughed that much while recording

konachi says the others have a really high tolerance but there are times she and kankan laugh a lot too. at the moment theyre obsessed with making jokes about petite pâtissière ruri's "hoi cake!" line and they literally open the game to listen to it

kankan has to explain it means like "here, have some cake!" but since its a skill activation line it has to be quite short so she said it really fast and it turned out funny. its what they say in the mornings instead of good morning lmao

hiichan says she loves the way the three of their voices blend together in aoku haruka. she was worried as to whether she could blend in with them at first but once she heard it she thought she managed it

mirapa say aoku haruka feels like the beginning of summer, like a school playing field, like youth. kankan says it feels like cerise bouquet with a new wind. konachi says ginko's colour really suits cerise bouquet

they introduce themselves as kankan rinrin and konakona right from the beginning but you can feel konachi's regret right after she said it lmao

afterwards they reveal that was their Second take. konachi messed up even earlier in that one

its been one month since 104 were announced! rinchan says their lives have changed. for example, hina has an alarm in the mornings now

rinchan says she's become more conscious but the others say she was from the start, shes such a pro. even yumi-sensei calls her a pro (rinchan told her not to but she kept doing it)

hiichan shouts SUGGESTION BOX over kankan and konachi and they scold her for it

hiichan starts reading a letter and says she thinks she should read it with energy like mirapa. the others laugh when she reads sentences with exclamation marks

they all say how cute ginko is in her kimono and hiichan says she wants ginko to know how cute she is

kankan says she wears kimono fairly often while rinchan says she hasn't besides her coming of age day. hiichan says her mom dressed her in her yukata for coming of age

kankan says hasu has a lot of cast with traditional japanese backgrounds [kankan does tea ceremonies, konachi does japanese dance, uisama does flower arranging]

hiichan enjoys going to teahouses as well. she likes black coffee, and says she gets anxious if she doesn't have one in her bag. its like flipping a switch before work lol

hiichan says japanese dance is cool. konachi asks if she's done it before and she says she's done a lot of dance but not japanese. she's going to dance lessons to learn how to dance like ginko

when hiichan was in elementary school, she did hiphop kids dancing. she did that the longest, but then she also did a bit of jazz, show dance, and ballet in middle school. but of course uisama is the one who properly did ballet

hiichan says both hime and rinchan are mirapa otaku, and what made her realise this was during rehearsals for hasu 2nd, the 104 cast were observing their senpai to study from them. konachi/megu-chan waved or something, and they each thought she was waving at them. but later rinchan showed hiichan a message from konachi in the mirapa discord confirming it was meant for rinchan. a few days later hiichan was talking about it with kanchan who said rinchan had responded to konachi's message extremely happy and thanking her for the fansa (konachi: it was like seven lines of messages)

kankan reads out rinchan's message and its like "thank you so much for the fansa!!! was it really for me!?!?!? you're absolutely the best. you're the best oshi in the whole world. i love you. please take good care of yourself and make it to the end of the tour well" with lots of crying and laughing emojis lol

hiichan said kankan was like "im really glad she's getting into the role of tsumayouji-chan" and hiichan was like "i dont think she is." kankan is like "i thought she was just taking it really seriously!!"

rinchan says that as 104 she loves her senpai, but itd be annoying if she brought it up too much. even when theyre together she doesn't tell them when they're being cute, so she let it all out at that moment

they talk about how loud fuuchan is lol. konachi says she's surprised she hasn't hurt her throat from shouting, and that she thinks she's probably even louder than kanchan. kanchan's voice carries but fuuchan's voice is just loud. (kankan: its like her voice comes from her stomach). hiichan says its surprising how energetic and loud she is early in the morning

when hiichan first went to the studio for afureco it was the six senpai plus herself in the booth. she was really nervous and hadn't really spoken to the senpai much yet, but it was fun recording the back and forths with kaho-senpai. kankan adds that ginko's exchanges with kaho are similar to the ones kaho had with sayaka way back at the beginning

a letter calls hiichan "hinahina" and hiichan confusedly whispering "hinahina...?" really reminded me of ginko

104 dream believers/on your mark/eien no euphoria were the first things 104 recorded, and although she didn't really know what kind of character she was yet, hiichan sang it with the image of ginko being "slender" in mind. rinchan says there was a sense of nerves about singing parts that their senpai had sung

kankan and konachi compliment the first years on all being such good singers, and konachi says the gap between fuuchan and kachimachi is amazing

hiichan recommends kenrokuen if you're going to kanazawa. its the garden of kanazawa castle, with lush plants and ponds, and you can really feel nature no matter the season and no matter how many times you go. kankan wants to visit in winter and konachi wants to visit in autumn

hiichan recommends you try the seafood in kanazawa! konachi also recommends the soft serve ice cream. kankan says she wants to go to kanazawa as nine

they get letters about ginko's kanazawa-ben, and hiichan says while working she speaks in standard japanese, but she thinks ginko-chan using kanazawa-ben is really cute. when she's with the hasu cast if she looks at their faces she'll slip into kanazawa-ben. she thinks she slips into it naturally when talking to the other first years

hiichan also teaches the others some kanazawa-ben. kankan says i love you and then rinchan tries to end the mail corner without doing it herself so kankan gets mad at her and konachi threatens to clip the sound again and send it to the nine member group chat lol

somehow konachi and rinchan turn it on kankan by doing theirs confidently and calling her cute for being so embarrassed so they get her to do it Again without the embarrassment

they play rinchan's oshi song, (104) on your mark, and she says once she heard the complete version she felt she had properly joined. hiichan sings the opening lines, which used to be sayaka-senpai's part which she loves, so she was especially enthusiastic. after they recorded on your mark they had worked so hard they were exhausted and "had the face of a warrior"

point of interest in the seiran no koi nagashi cards: hime's dream believers and dododo nesos. kankan likes the shoes. hiichan points out these outfits are modifications of kunpuu no shirabe from last year. konachi says tired kaho in ginko's card is really cute. kachimachi's twin tails are cute. sayaka's cooking ponytail. kachimachi's ribbons like sayaka's. the same apron in a different colour. rinchan calls kosuzu sayaka's daughter. konachi says dollche's family feel is great

hiichan wants to play shiritori at the mirapa radio public recording. she's good at drawing chicks but she's still practising drawing people. fuuchan is good at drawing so she might ask to teach her

they once again introduce themselves as kankan rinrin and konakona :3

its fuuchan's first time speaking to so many people on a radio, so kankan tells her she should ask rinrin for advice since shes a pro and rinrin's like "fuuchan will be ok!" since fuuchan is a leader who pulls everyone forward (according to the mbti quiz she's an enfp)

they read letters reminding "fuufuu" to use casual language and rinchan says it was fuuchan who started using casual language after they met first and fuuchan says she wanted them to be friends

mirapa ask if fuuchan's ready for the dododo q&a so she says she's been practising and theyre all like as expected of a leader!

fuuchan describes kosuzu as "a super genki but self deprecating full speed challenge girl." she expands by saying although she deprecates herself, she puts a positive spin on it, and its something she really respects about her. mirapa all compliment kosuzu's ability to pick herself back up and try again

rinchan says she was wondering how kosuzu's self deprecation would coexist with her brightness and says fuuchan has made her really charming

konachi says she likes kosuzu in dollchestra. of course everyone loves the two person dollchestra, but with her addition theyve become something new. "they're like parents with a child"

they all say she's really cute and want to look after/protect her. konachi especially likes how she calls herself kachimachi. kankan's first impression of her was she's taller than ruri w she had heard that a short girl would be joining so she was kind of excited but then she was still taller than ruri lol

fuuchan says lots of people have said they want to support kosuzu, so she'd like everyone to watch her closely as she undergoes new challenges and grows in the story

fuuchan says she's similar to kosuzu in how they hate to lose. and how she also says things like "this time was no good, but the next one..." and self deprecates, like she doesn't feel she's good at things. rinchan is aghast at this, saying fuuchan can do most things and she often feels she has to be next to her so she can absorb it. konachi says fuuchan has a lot of potential

fuuchan describes herself as "personality: indecisive, hobby: checking out new ramune, special skill: singing and long distance running"

konachi tells a story about the time she was going home with fuuchan (kanchan was also there) and fuuchan had a dentist appointment, which she wouldn't make in time unless she got a train that left five minutes later. konachi wondered why she'd book an appointment she couldn't make but. well, she hadn't seen someone run like that in a while (kankan adds it was a hot day as well). fuuchan says she ran all the way to the station and made it in time 👍

"i dont want to stop until i achieve my goal" konachi: is that what you call your dentist

they all compliment fuuchan on her singing. konachi really loves her long note near the end of sparkly spot, especially since its combined with the difficult dollche choreography

kankan says she wants to hear fuuchan's regular singing voice. she's heard 102 and 103's in voice training but she wants to hear 104's too (konachi suggests karaoke). fuuchan says kosuzu's voice is high but her own is lower

fuuchan only carries one type of ramune with her but she does have four other non ramune snacks in her bag. rinchan says one time she was super tired and fell asleep at her desk and when she woke up she had ramune in her hands. they talk about how fuuchan buys 1kg bags of ramune and gives some to kocchan ("i gave her some yesterday too") and kankan says she's like a mom before amending to like a leader

rinchan's personal question for fuuchan: the biggest challenge since she joined hasunosora?

fuuchan says growing her hair out and dancing

when they first met, her hair was barely down to her shoulders so mirapa congratulate her on growing her hair out so fast. fuuchan says she's worried about her first summer with hair this long

as for dance, she didnt really do much in school so this is her first time. her body is stiff but she's slowly been getting more flexible and she can touch the floor now

kankan's personal question: her favourite hasunosora song?

its tsubasa la liberté! on hasu 2nd day 1 the first years were watching the stream while waiting and when they saw tsubasa la liberté fuuchan had to hold back from crying. and when she was in the audience seats during rehearsals she cried for real. she really loves the outfits. she likes rain related songs so she loves tragic drops as well

kankan asks for her favourite songs from each unit. for ceribou its holiholi, mirapa identity, dollche (besides tragic drops) knot

konachi says she wants knot to be performed hundreds of times thats how much she loves it. she says nassu and kocchan have discussed it a lot so no matter how many times she sees it is always the best

konachi's personal question: hasunosora oshi?

fuuchan says yuugiri tsuzuri-senpai!

kankan says fuuchan's love of tsuzuri is well known within hasu. fuuchan loves her looks, and when she read the story she loved her vocabulary and way of speaking and her cute exchanges with sayaka-senpai, but when she performs shes so cool! that gap makes her her oshi!

they all talk about how good ladybug and its lyric video are. and how its dollchestra, but a new dollchestra, with a kosuzu like feeling

fuuchan recorded ladybug along with eien no euphoria, where she had to think how kosuzu would be in a group song instead of a unit song. it was difficult as in dollche songs she tries to sing with a cool feeling. but in the sense of kosuzu wanting to work hard to Sound cool

a letter asks fuuchan what she'd like to challenge herself with and she answers english and musical instruments. she loves going to theme parks so she wants to learn english so she can read what's on the signs and learn the lore. as for instruments she started learning drums and piano but she didnt get too into them

kankan's been interested in english recently. a friend of hers is kind of dumb (konachi: are you talking about yourself?) and has absolutely no sense of direction (konachi: kurusu rin?) but she works at a big company and speaks english since a lot of people there are from overseas and kankan thinks its super cool and wants to have a gap like that w

also (kankan apologises for talking about herself so much) she said in an earlier episode she has a grade 3 (approx A1) eiken english qualification but she realised she didnt do an interview so maybe its a grade 4 (only grades 3 and above do the interview) so she went home and asked her mom who told her she actually has a grade 5 (like elementary school level)...

actually, hayama has a grade 3... she did the nisshou business exam though which doesn't have an interview section. kankan says "then maybe i have a grade 3 too..." and fuuchan goes "you?" (they say she sounded like uisama lol)

kankan asks if there's anything the others want to challenge themselves with and rinrin says konachi seems like she could do anything and konachi says its not true if she can't do something she'll just give up lmao

she went to a guitar lesson once and quit after learning do re mi bc she didnt want to learn music theory she just wanted to learn how to play songs lol so she'd just look up the tab sheets online, mess up, quit, and repeat until around third year middle school to second year high school when she could play while reading the tab

they decide that if they were in a band konachi would be on guitar, rinrin on bass, fuuchan on vocals, so kankan on drums

kankan says she wants to perform with a live band and konachi adds liella had an acoustic live and kankan brings up aqours-san's orchestra lives too

they introduce themselves as kankan rinrin konakona with minimal hesitation on konachi's part :3

as its almost time to change into summer uniforms, they talk about their uniform memories. konachi and fuuchan had blazer uniforms. kankan had a blazer in high school but her elementary school uniform was a sailor fuku that looked like hasunosora's summer uniform. rinchan really likes coloured uniforms as her uniforms were all navy blazers

rinchan's school allowed both neckties and ribbons. konachi bought a necktie because she likes them and wore it even though it wasn't allowed. fuuchan allowed both technically but if there was a formal event they had to wear a necktie

rinchan says she loved the overture of the april fes×live

kankan says it was really emotional for the nine of them to perform at the same venue one year after the first four members did, personally and as ruri-chan as it was her first time along with the first years. konachi says it might be a tradition to perform there

fuuchan is grateful the tempo of sparkly spot slowed down lol. when she heard the 103 version it was so cool but also difficult and she didn't know how she'd do it. so it gives her a warm feeling that it seems the senpai arranged the songs to help them fit in

of course 103 identity probably had many changes itself, but rinchan and hime have only seen the 103 version so they have a really strong image of that version. so she hopes the 104 version can bring out a different charm and show the new mirakura park with the addition of hime's colours

they all say the choreography of 104 reflection in the mirror is really cool and fuuchan says they were all trying to copy it but its too hard

they also compliment dollche's ladybug outfits and then rinchan says kosuzu's bangs are cute and her eyebrows are cute when she's sad or angry

konachi says kachimachi's voice feels like you can't leave her behind and rinchan says you can really feel her effort in the song

fuuchan says before they recorded ladybug she studied her senpai's voices and realised theyre similar but different, and she was able to sing in a kosuzu like way

kankan says in a good way dollche has become even hotter

they get letters telling them about fukui's famous echizen crab which theyre jealous of

none of them have been to fukui, except fuuchan, but she didnt go to tsuruga, she went to shibumasa with her family (she didn't even eat crab)

kosuzu has a gao pose and loves big dinosaurs, and fuuchan says maybe she likes big animals because she's small. fuuchan wants to visit the dinosaur museum!

they get a letter about speaking in kansai-ben as fuuchan is from osaka and konachi reads it out like a yankii

kankan protests at this since they already did kanazawa-ben recently but konachi's like "this is a seiyuu radio." kankan's like "are you dumb" and konachi goes "that's meannn :(" so she apologises

kankan asks fuuchan for good points about osaka and konachi shouts over her to say the food is so good!!!!!! they just start shouting good osaka food (takoyaki, konamon, okonomiy- oh thats kyoto)

they all want to go to osaka and kankan wants to do the glico pose in front of glico (but konachi says no??)

fuuchan's osaka oshi point is everyone is cheerful which also makes you cheerful

konachi asks if fuu is so loud because shes from kansai and she says actually her mom listened to the last episode and told her she was loud. rinchan says kanchan is loud too and konachi says she's from "oo"ita ("oo"ita and "o"saka)

staff says since kansaijin are cheerful itd be perfect for mirapa to have an event in osaka and rinchan says she wants to go to universal studios there and kankan says she's never been

fuuchan speaks kansai-ben with 104

they get prompted to speak in kansai-ben again which konachi pushes onto kankan and fuuchan and fuuchan says she'll do it if kanchan does

fuuchan says she listened to what hiichan said in kanazawa-ben but doesn't think she'd use kansai-ben when confessing so she makes it thicker

she says "i like you" in kansai-ben while looking at rinchan so konachi says "you like her?" the other three also say it but kankan laughs during it and konachi's like "people like it when shes embarrassed. theyre gonna write 'kan kanna-san is so cute when she's embarrassed'"

rinchan says it was fun to do the "gaya" parts in eien no euphoria (the "yeah!" "lets go!" etc parts)

kankan likes the new line distribution and konachi says its like theyre passing them down. kankan says eien no euphoria always felt more of a school year song rather than a unit song and its only gotten stronger now

fuuchan really likes the 104 parts as it feels like theyve joined and are going to do their best

rinchan points out that you can see the hand of whoever took the photo of megu-chan's 365 days card and she really likes that

rinchan goes to food sample stores like the one tsuzuri is in in her 365 days card

konachi says its nice to see things other than their school idol activities

they also point out the 365 days outfits are difficult depending on unit like dream believers (dollche has long sleeves, mirapa has puffed sleeves, ceribou has frilled sleeves)

they all say how mature kaho looks in her BR and rinchan points out her bunny hair accessory. kankan says she wants all nine of their BRs

they get a letter saying they could get chowchows at the public recording if they had radio tshirts with designs from the dododo lyric video (such as a chowchow). plus hime-chan the mirapa otaku would definitely love a tshirt with a dododo motif!

kankan agrees with this, but the others (especially konachi) seem to want to design their own. kankan then asks if she can draw a chowchow on hers and konachi's like "hm... :/"

kankan really wants these chowchows lmao she says the others can draw rurihimemegu as well. or even the nine of them. since theyre good at drawing girls

konachi: what if we all draw our own girl? kankan: wait thats goo- uisama... (collective unsure noises)

fuuchan wants to play musical chairs at the public recording!!

mirapa say fuuchan has been a nice leader 👍

apparently fuuchan gives strange names to her toys. kankan wants her to tweet a photo of them

fuuchan: i have a seal plushie called ikameshi kankan: like isnt that weird? its a seal called squid (ika)? fuuchan: the ika doesnt mean squid! konachi: kanchan said that so confidently lol

fuuchan tries to explain where the name comes from but i dont get it and neither do mirapa so konachi goes ahead and ends the episode lol

Hi Desi! 🤹‍♀️💭 for you please!

Hi dalawa!! Thank you for the asks and for making me think!!

💭Dream season 5 storyline?

My absolute season 5 storyline, if I could have anything, would have to do with Carlos and TK both working together to solve Gabriel's murder! I need to see that communication and no secret keeping this season, they worked all season 4 on that. And one of them needs to be put in danger because of it, so we can hear something along the lines of "take me instead" 🫠

🤹‍♀️ Give a hidden talent to all the main characters (or those of your choosing)!

Oh you are making me get creative!! Please forgive me for only doing a few, but these characters and their talents came more quickly to me than others!

TK - Ooo, a different one for TK, he actually has a green thumb!! I'm thinking about him living in NYC, the concrete jungle, and wanting to have some greenery in his apartment, so he does his research to figure out what first time plants would be good to start with, and he loves having something to take care, even when he might not be taking the best care of himself at that time 🥺. When he's forced to move to Austin and live with Owen and has that amazing backyard, he starts to really garden and flex his skills!! Maybe he's got a little vegetable patch and he definitely has a lot of flowers that the pollinators will love 🥰

Carlos - Not exactly a hidden talent, but he is a fantastic dancer 😍 I was thinking of ways a young Carlos could express himself while he was struggling with his queer identity and I think dance would be an excellent way for him to do that! He definitely started out quietly in his room with YouTube videos, just quietly trying to feel comfortable with himself and come out of his shell a little. I think the first time he went to a club was a revelation for him and he could finally let loose and feel a bit more comfortable in his skin.

Judd - We know he's a great cook but I also think he might be a good baker too!! We know he's the youngest in his family, so I am imagining him baking with his late mom to escape his rowdy brothers at times and to spend time with her!

#thank you so much dalawa!! 💖#I answered an ask within a day woooo 🥳#tarlos #desi answers #911 lone star art

Yamato Nikaido - Rabbitube Mini

[Disclaimer: I’m NOT a professional translator. I’m using my knowledge from 4 years of university. Please, feel free to let me know if you notice mistranslation/typo/error of any kind]

***

Riku: Yamato san! Natsume san! It looks like the weather will be good on our fishing day!

Riku:

Minami: Hello. Have you already checked?

Yamato: It’s literally scheduled for next month lol

Riku: Yeah, but I’m really looking forward to it! I mean, the three of us are going fishing together! It’s no wonder I’ve already checked! 😆✨

Riku: Well, with it being a weather forecast for next month, there’s a possibility it’s not completely accurate…

Yamato: You’ve been saying how much you can’t wait to go since we filmed together…

Riku: I think that if I could catch you, Yamato san, I may be able to go fishing for real!

Yamato: … your motivation is pretty weird, you know that, right?

Minami: It was a big catch

Riku: It really was lol

Yamato: Okay, okay, got it 😌

Yamato: May I add Mitsu to this chat?

Riku: Eh? Why?!

Yamato: I just think I need a straight man in this conversation

Minami: Oh dear, so you’re not satisfied with us as your partners? What a shame…

Yamato: No, that’s not really what I meant…

Minami: Then, shall the three of us have fun together?

Yamato: Yeah…

Riku: So cool! I feel like I should call you “Natsume sama” !

Yamato: Riku, I know I could tell you this directly, but would you mind going back to your room?!

Riku: You send messages as if you’re not satisfied with us! That’s why I came!

Minami: Did you go to Nikaido san’s room?

Riku: Yeah! I’m messaging from his room right now!

Riku: Oh, Musashi just changed his route after hitting Yamato san’s knee! It’s so cute

Minami: Musashi?

Yamato: It’s the cleaning robot I keep in my room

Riku: Apparently we can catch marbled rockfish during this time of the year 🐟

Yamato: The main topic went back to your mind pretty quickly

Minami: Marbled rockfish? It’s delicious when fried

Yamato: Well said, Natsume chan! The simpler, the better

Riku: Oh, I’d like to eat it!

Minami:If we can catch it, then let's cook it like this. I could keep on eating it forever

Minami:

Yamato: You eat quite a lot, don’t you, Natsume chan? I wonder in what part of that thin body of yours you put all the food

Minami: My stomach

Yamato: Damn straight!

Riku:

Riku: Let’s do our best and catch many of them! 😃🎣

Minami: Are you good at fishing, Yamato san?

Riku: Will you be dragged into the water again, Yamato san!?

Yamato: Give me a break! Just having to do it for acting purposes was enough

Minami: It was a really nice performance. The part where you get fished out was awesome

Minami: It didn’t look like it was the first time you had to do something like that…

Riku: So you got fished out before, Yamato san?!

Yamato: What’s with that story?! Of course it was the first time I got fished out!

Riku: Well, when you were supposed to bite the hook it looked like you were clenching your teeth!

Riku: Just remembering it makes me laugh so bad lol

Yamato: Okay, but stop patting my knee while you’re laughing lol

Minami: Messaging each other sitting side by side is something new to me, it must be very fun. I’m trying to pat Inumaru san’s knee as well

Minami: He said “Are my trousers dirty”?

Yamato: lol

Riku:

Minami:

Yamato: You two were also really good at mimicking. I’m talking about the gesture game we did during the break

Riku: The sea creatures series!

Riku: Your sea otter was so cute, Natsume san!

Yamato: Yeah, and pretty easy to understand. You shook your hands just as if you were hitting a shell

Minami: I’m glad you could guess it right so easily. Your shark was also amazing, Nanase san

Minami: You were pretty cute while wandering around and rawring

Yamato: Does a shark rawr, by the way?

Riku: I just wanted to create a strong atmosphere 😉

Riku: And you need to show me the anemone again, Yamato san!

Minami: It didn’t require much movement, right? It was an energy saving choice. I couldn’t really understand what it was until you guessed the answer right, Nanase san

Riku: I thought it was an octopus! But since he was waving his hands over his head, I realized what it may be…!

Minami: From now on whenever I see an anemone, Yamato san will most likely come up to my mind

Riku: It’s settled, then! You’ll show us the anemone again next time we meet!

Yamato: Glad to see you made a deal despite me being the one who has to do that, Riku

Minami: Thank you, I look forward to it

Yamato:

Riku: I wonder if we can do a sea creatures quiz on chat

Yamato: What?

Riku: (:。)ミ

Riku: Okay, what is it?

Minami: Pinpon!

Riku: Ah, Natsume san was so fast!

Minami: It’s an octopus

Riku: Correct!

Yamato: Riku was doing the same face as the emoji he was writing on chat, so it was quite easy to guess lol

Minami: Oh, so you had a hint just next to you? You’re playing dirty

Yamato: Well, I was too busy holding back my laughter anyway lol

Riku: Hey! I want you to pat my knee as well when you laugh!

Yamato: Nah, that’s a young thing

Minami: It’s really fun. Do you always have these kinds of conversations?

Yamato: Yeah. And that’s nothing compared to the total mess our living room becomes when the seven of us are in there

Riku: Yeah, we catch each other up to three topics at the same time!

Yamato: And nobody understands anything, so none of them is actually successful

Minami: It sounds good. I can see how good friends you are

Riku: We’re friends as well, Natsume san!

Minami: Is it really okay with you?

Riku:

Riku: Of course!! I had so much fun during the recordings, and I can’t wait for the three of us to work together again!

Minami: Thank you so much. I also enjoyed the time I spent with you

Yamato: We ended up laughing a lot, didn’t we? lol

Riku: Let’s enjoy our fishing day together!

Yamato:

Minami:

The end

Big lore post. Vs Alex. Part 1: Morality.

As already mentioned in this post, Alex is the main villain in AU. But at the same time, she pursued good goals - to save Xen creatures, scientists from the military, and take Lee, Nicole, and Toby to a safe place. What went wrong? Well, actually....everything went wrong.

Alex, that got used to her authority, influence and the fact that everything always worked out, suddenly encountered something that knocked her out of her rut. She lost control over the situation. Her own brother suddenly became her enemy. The former victum for bullying, Nicole, became her best friend. And her beloved person disappeared.

But all of this, in fact, was the fault of Alex's irresponsible brother and his new "boyfriend". Because of them, Alex's whole life turned upside down. And she seemed to have landed on her back. While everyone had a happy ending (not knowing what had happened to Benrey yet), Alex could not calm down. She didn't take revenge. She didn't save the lives of her loved ones, except TSST. Nothing.

After restarting the whole process, Alex tried to get her happy ending back. She started it over with her team. Hearing discontent and confusion, despair suddenly grew in the woman. Why was it so difficult to understand everything? Why were these people so selfish? It seemed that the fight started with these thoughts. Alex lost herself in trying to make them go through everything again, and her mind clouded with envy, sadness, desperation, and aggression towards everyone. And so, a harmless fight turned into a battle to the death, while Alex, with hysterical cries, tried to destroy everything she envied.

Nicole stopped seeing Alex as a threat or enemy. During their adventure, they grew close, so close that they could call themselves friends (You can read about their previous relationship in this short fic). Of course, Nicole knew more than anyone how it felt to lose everything. She felt sorry for her friend who was getting worse and worse. No one believed that John was gone or dead. Everyone supported each other. But Alex could not handle the pressure. She had other problems too and had already strained relationships with Benrey, as well as rejection from society. And then, such a tragedy happened.

When Alex delivered an ultimatum in the form of a fight, Nicole took it as a joke at first. It was difficult to take it seriously, even considering the woman's unstable psyche. But nevertheless, this was not a joke. But still Nicole refused to hurt her friend. She avoided her attacks and maneuvered as well as she could. All she wanted to do was stop Alex. Not kill her. Help her.

Lee, who had always been hiding Toby, came to help. The girl was terrified by these news. An extremely responsible and confident woman began to cry from inner pain and try to kill everyone. Lee didn't know what to do. Maybe it was her fault? Since her arrival in the family, things had been bad between Alex and Benrey. But the guard pulled herself together quickly, pushing selfish thoughts aside. She knew that Alex needed help.

Teaming up with Nicole, Lee tries to find a way to approach the woman and remind her about the good times together. When necessary, she used her immortal shell and drew all attention to herself. Nicole had only one goal: to help Alex and save her from suffering (and others too).

(Our sketches of this battle)

Thank you for reading it!! It's a really important piece of our lore, hehe. Until next time!! Byeeeee!

Chapter 15: The Mushroom Kingdom’s New Hero Rises! So Long Koopas

The fight is beginning where it ended, the two groups facing off against one another.

Pirate emperor Monkey D Luffy alongside Princess Peach were standing as the last line of defense against the threat of the Koopa soldiers that stood before them.

It was basically a temporary alliance between the pirate and the mushroom princess in order to beat them and protect the kingdom.

How long this alliance between the two would last was beyond either one of their knowledge, but to be honest, that wasn’t really something they had the time to worry about at that moment.

As of right now their main objective was to work together in order to get rid of the Koopas, whatever happened later was something they would deal with then.

The two were facing off against the last of the Koopas and got them out of the mushroom kingdom before they could cause any more harm to the residents.

The sledgehammer bro pointed his weapon at the princess and the pirate as he shouted,”GET THEM’!!!!, making all of the other Koopas charge at them.

Luffy and Peach stood their ground firmly as a few of the Koopa soldiers started to run up towards them, trying to make their assault, for a few moments until they themselves started to advance forward.

One of the hammer bros was beaming right towards Luffy, aiming one of his hammer at him before suddenly throwing it at him.

Luffy is able to see this happen and jumps up in the air, dodging it completely, but not before he suddenly stretches his right leg high into the air, almost barely missing one of the small floating islands above them. But not the last Paratroopa, because once he went towards him Luffy’s foot crashed and uppercutted him right in the bottom of his jaw, knocking him out instantly. Luffy then shat a furious glare at the hammer bro and shouted,”NOW GUM GUM…….”, before bringing it crashing down via a high-gravity stomp right on his head and slamming him to the ground,”:BATTLE AXE”!!!!!!, causing him to get sucked up into his shell and creating a giant creator with it.

Both shells fell to the ground and bounced around a few times like lifeless sports balls.

One of the green Koopa troopas (who was a couple of feet away from the right side of the hammer bro) was so busy looking over to see what happened to his friend that he didn’t notice the princess running up and jump kicked him right in the face.

The kick was so strong that it caused him to get sucked into his shell and it quickly went bouncing up and down like a ping pong ball for a few seconds.

And as soon as she was back on the ground, she looked over and saw that two of the other green Koopa troopas were running towards Luffy as he was landing back on the ground.

She would've left them to him if he wasn’t still pulling his leg back, and his back turned to them, so he was a little too distracted to be able to deal with them right at that moment.

Knowing that he may need help she reluctantly rolls her eyes, looks towards the newly made Koopa shell, runs up and kicks it right towards them

Before they could get to him, the green shell she kicked came up and crashed right into the other Koopa troopas, turning them all back into shells.

And luckily for Luffy, once his foot had retracted back to him, he heard the crashing sound and turned around and saw that three of the Koopa guys they were fighting had been turned into shells.

Then he saw the princess quickly running past him and giving him a,”Come on, we're not done”look as she continued her way towards the other Koopas that were ahead of them.

Luffy, though a tiny bit confused, decided to shrug it off before nodding to her and quickly follow after her, jumping over any debris or Koopa shells lying around.

The duo quickly continued their way towards the other Koopas, trying their best to beat them before it was too late.

But before they all collided, the princess quickly turned to Luffy,”We’ll take them out faster if we spread out. You take the big guy with that sledge hammer and I’ll take the other three, got it”!, she ordered.

Luffy looked back over at her and his usual determined grin grew across his face and nodded,”Yeah I gotcha”.

Peach nodded back at his and grew a grin of her own before they both turned their attention back to the Koopas

And while running, Peach quickly turned her head around and saw what he’d done to the two Koopa soldiers and what he was able to do to the ground as a result of his last attack.

She spotted the giant crater littered with the two newly shelled Green Koopa troopa and Red Paratroopa right in the center of it.

Yeah she definitely didn't expect any of this out of him, especially any of the stretching stuff he somehow seems to be able to do.

And to be honest, she wasn’t complaining about it either, cause it packed one helluva punch (and kick) against them.

…..Well……... .maybe not enough of a punch against Bular and his forces but it still did pack quite a punch against the Koopas, so that was at least something.

Almost made her wonder when this part about him was gonna turn up in their original conversation.

What else was he able to do that she didn’t know about.

Is there a limit to how far he could stretch his body……

Does he even feel how far his body stretches…..

Did it hurt him to stretch his body at all and could he hurt himself if he stretched too far……..

There were so many questions about his powers that she suddenly wanted to ask him about, but unfortunately, due to the current situation, now wasn’t exactly the time for that.

Maybe after they had dealt with the threat and they knew that all the Toads were safe, the Koopas were dealt with.

But she would definitely be asking him more questions about who he really is, where he's actually from, and who his friends actually are, because if he's able to do something like this, god only knows what those friends he was talking about were able to do.

Peach starts to pick up speed in order to prepare herself for another jump kick, while Luffy was holding his arm back to prepare another punch for the next few opponents.

And as they were all about to collide with one another, the attention suddenly goes back to a red Koopa suddenly popping out of his shell.

It was Trython!

He had suddenly regained consciousness after being knocked out by Luffy earlier, though he had a bandage on top of his nose and a trickle of blood coming out his nostrils.

Looks like the pirate captain didn’t just put him to sleep by knocking his ass out, but he also was able to leave a bit of a mark on him.

Because he had two (slightly bloody) bandages wrapped around on top of his nose, with a tiny bit of swollen redness underneath them.

He also had a black eye eye that was not only swollen, but closed shut and purple, though thankfully for him it was the eye that was underneath the eyepatch (and yes if you haven’t guessed it by now, he’s just wearing the eyepatch to look cool) that was covering it, so there was no need to worry about anyone else seeing it, unless he takes it off.

Trython groans and picks himself up off the ground before gently and carefully rubbing and caressing his injured bloody nose as he then quickly shakes his head to shake off the dizziness feeling he had that was giving him a massive headache.

Once his head was all good and he had gotten himself together, he then glanced around to check his surroundings before noticing a sudden horrifying sight.

He witnessed the sight of multiple of his Koopa brotherren’s shells scattered across the area, in food carts, in small little craters on the street, or even just lying out on the pavement.

This whole scene was a terrifying sight as it caused him to slowly take a step back and almost trip over one of the other shells lying around.

He couldn’t believe it, how this even happened, they had the advantage over the situation,,,,,

How the hell did all of this even happen?!

There's no way that scrawny little stretchy human was actually able to put up a fight against them, not with the numbers they had.

And all he could do was stretch, there's no way a power as weird as that could actually put up a fight in any useful way.

Sure he was able to attack him and Bryce but those were just basic sneak attacks that he pulled, there's now factual way that someone like him would possibly fight him off and all of his other Koopa comrades.

Trython just sat there, filling his head filling his head with whatever kind of excuse he could think of, not willing to even fathom the thought of accepting an almost curtain defeat like this from a lower life form like the stretchy human

“Yeah that's right, there's no possible way that any of this could happen, this all had to be some sort of joke”, he thought in his head before suddenly hearing a groaning sound coming from behind him.

He turned and saw that one of the green shelled Koopas, who had also popped back out of his shell and was slowly trying to crawl away from the scene.

Once he saw him, Trython quickly dashed his way over to him, he then grabbed his fallen comrade up by the arm and hung it over his shoulder before pulling him over behind some of the fruit wagons to the side where they would temporarily out of sight.

Once they were hidden, Trython carefully sat him down and stared right at him with a stern look on his face,”Hey you, cadet wake up”!He ordered as he started repeatedly smacking him in the face, trying to wake him up, which sort of worked.

And though he was out if it at first, he had mostly gotten himself back together and stared right back at his commanding officer confused,”Huh, what- , commander, you're back up again, ‘ he asked curiously as his Trython continued to shake him.

He wasn’t really in the mood for any useless off topic questions that he may have had, so he started rushing to the important part,”Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah i’m up. you're doing a great job and all that! Now that that's all out of the way……….,” Trython then roughly grabbed the bottom strap of the Koopa troopas helmet,”WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?! HOW DID EVERYONE GET BEATON LIKE THIS!? DIDN’T WE HAVE AN ADVANTAGE OVER THEM!? AND….WHO….THE….HELL….DID…THIS“?!

After being hit with an absolut storm of questions (that due to his current injuries that he had, the Koopa troopa wasn’t really able to answer the questions as quickly as he was being asked them) the injured comrade slowly turned and weakly pointed to the direction behind Trython before shakingly stuttering,”H-H-Him”!

(CRASH)

Suddenly a loud crashing sound could be heard coming from where the Koopa troop was pointing.

Trython quickly spun around to see who and what caused that noise, only to see none other than the straw hatted boy causing them all this trouble.

He was jumping up mid-air and staring down at what Trython could assume was his other Koopa brethren right before yelling out ,“NOW GUM GUM”......., he stretches his leg out for a second or two until the bottom of his foot crashes to the ground,”STAMP”!!!, creating a giant cloud of smoke that engulfs the straw hatted boy as he slowly descends and disappears. into it.

After seeing what had just occurred in front of them, both Trython and the Koopa troop’s jaws were practically dropped to the ground in shock

After seeing what had just occurred in front of them, both Trython and the Koopa troop’s jaws were practically dropped to the ground in shock (and maybe a tiny bit of fear).

“Oh yeah that’s-uh-that’s not good for us”,Trython obviously stated.

The troopa slowly turned to his superior with a look of desperation and a sort of “No shit sherlock” look,”Oh no, ya think?! We only just got our asses beat by a kid you said that we supposedly would be able to handle”!

Trython turned to him with a blank and annoyed expression on his face,”Ok before you go doing that, to be fair I only said any of that because I mainly thought he had gotten a lucky shot of bryce. Though I may have misinterpreted that”.

“A lucky shot?! He literally head butted him through a Fuckin wall after he shook off a sledge hammer to the skull! How the hell could you possibly misinterpret that ''?!, the angrily scared koopa asked.

Trything shrugged his shoulders,“I don’t know, part of one thought that bryce was maybe going easy on him or something”.

“Yeah no if that was the case then I wouldn’t be in as much pain as I’m in right now and half of our team wouldn’t be in their shells right now”!, the koopa troopa then pointed his finger towards the shells of his fallen friends.

“Well excuse me if I'm trying to keep the group's morale up! You all seemed to love it a few minutes ago!Oh but now that everything's taking a turn suddenly everything's all my fault”. Trython pointed out angrily.

“Well you were the same one that said this would be an easy mission! Capture the princess you said, it'll be easy you said we'll just go on in and beat up a couple of mushroom midgets”!The Koopa troopa then motioned his hand around all of the debris and Koopa shells surrounding them before turning back to look at Trython,”Oh but yeah things are totally going perfect I'm sure your moral speeches will help us kidnap this pain in the ass you call a princess” !

TrythonWas about to shoot back with something else to say when he suddenly stopped and heard what his subordinate had just said, and his eyes suddenly went wide,” wait help you ki- wait hold on, YOU MORONS DIDN’T KIDNAP THE PRINCESS?! WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU ALL DOING THIS WHOLE?! TWIDDLING YOUR THUMBS LIKE A BUNCH OF IDIOTS”, he shouted, thankfully not being heard by either one of their human enemies.

“Oh what no we weren't doing that, we were all just simply oh well I don't know, FIGHTING FOR OUR LIVES AGAINST THAT STRETCHY PSYCHOPATH”!, the Koopa Troopa shouted while pointing in the last direction where they last saw Luffy,”Oh yeah and when we weren't busy being beaten into a bloody Bane by that lunatic, we were also getting our faces kicked in by that MUSHROOM LOVING BITCH”!

Trython raised a brow and slightly tilted his head to the side in confusion, since when was the prince able to do something other than to look pretty and empty headed, that didn’t make much sense,” Wait the Angel in distress looking princess did this to you guys too? What the hell? When she learned how to fight, I thought she just sat around and looked pretty all day! There's no way she would be able to do this much damage to us!

The Koopa troop shrugged his shoulders in response,”Well sitting around and looking pretty all day made her into a Kung Fu Fighting Champion. We definitely weren't paying as much attention to this Kingdom as we were! Well, that or that probably isn’t the same princess, but someone else in person in the princess”.

“ No, that last one is not right, this is definitely the princess that never leaves the kingdom and there’s no reason to go up to her castle and check”, Trython corrected.

“Da fu- it doesn’t matter whether it was or it wasn’t her, we’re not gonna be able to kidnap her either way with monsters over there beating us up every time we get near here”, the troopa pointed out.

“Ah Damnit your right”, Trython admitted, before frustratedly placing a hand on his head,”This doesn’t make any sense, the changeling trolls have been watching this Kingdom for months! Why the hell didn’t they notify us about him sooner we could’ve brought more forces with us.

The Koopa troopa shrugged,” I don”t know, maybe they overlooked him by mistake or something”.

Suddenly after he said that, they heard a sudden crashing sound coming from where they last saw the straw hatted person. Right after that they suddenly saw a cloud of smoke coming from that same area too.

Trython slowly turned back to his subordinate and pointed in that direction where the smoke was and shouted,”YOU DON'T OVERLOOK SOMEONE WHO CAN CAUSE SHIT LIKE THAT TO HAPPEN! WHAT DID THEY THINK HE WAS SOME SORT OF TOURISTS OR JUST A REALLY LARGE MUSHROOM PERSON”!

“I don’t know, maybe? I wasn’t with them when they gave us the report”, the scared Koopa said.

“WELL SOMEBODY DID AND ENDED UP SCREWING US RIGHT UP IN OUR ASSES”,Trython shouted angrily before storming off a few feet away (not far enough where to leave their hiding spot, where he would be spotted by four enough, where he would be close to that outside).

The Koopa troopa had quickly but painfully gotten up on his feet and tried his best to limp over to his commander desperately,“Well what the hell are we gonna do now? We weren’t told anything about this guy and there’s now way we’re gonna be able to take him down, at least not without a lot of reinforcements with us”!

So he heard what his comrades said Trython was still trying his best to think of a plan, and was under a little bit more pressure than he wanted to be. So without trying to face his subordinate, Trython spoke up and said,“ yeah yeah I know what just give me a moment to think of a plan unless you got any suggestions”.

“Actually I do, why don’t we grab our shit and the others and G.T.F.O before that maniac has a chance to come after us”!, the Koopa troopa suggested, not wanting to go back out there and go up against Luffy again.

Trython quickly turned to him before closing his eyes and shaking his head,” What the- NO! That’s the last thing we should be thinking about doing! Do you have any idea what the king is gonna do to us all if we come back beaten up and without the princess”!

The Koopa troopa once again quickly shrugged his shoulders in response,” I don’t know, but it’s gonna be a lot more bearable than dealing with HIM”, he said before he also pointed in Luffy’s direction.

“No absolutely not, there is no way I’m gonna let us leave empty-handed without the princess! We need to think of another plan and quick- wait a minute”,Trython stopped talking before looking over and noticing that the giant box crate that had their secret weapon inside remained unopened.

He pointed at it and slightly turned to his subordinate,”You guys didn’t use the weapon on him”.

The Koopa Troopa quickly shook his head,”No after you were knocked unconscious by that straw hatted kid, the princess came in and crushed the remote with her foot, so we just decided to come in with plan B and handle everything else ourselves”, he quickly glances over the littered Koopa shells,” And you pretty much see how well that's turning out”.

After he said that, Trythin almost instantly pumped his fist in excitement as he also grinned widely,”Yes”!

The Troopa rows a brow in confusion at this,”I’m sorry, how is that something to be happy about”?.

“Because now we could still use our ace up our sleeve against stretchy over there and still be able to kidnap the princess in one fell swoop! It's like killing two birds with one stone, IT'S PERFECT”!Trython loudly suggested.

Though he did think it was a good Idea The Koopa Troopa also knew they had one tiny slight problem, nothing too bad to worry about.

He then places his hand on before saying,”Hmmmm yeah sounds great, amazing, couldn’t be more full proof. Though there's just one tiny teenie weenie little problem”.

Trython turned back to him curiously…….

“WE DON’T HAVE THE REMOTE ANYMORE! YOU KNOW THE THING THAT WE NEEDED TO OPEN THAT DAMN THING IN THE FIRST PLACE! THAT WEAPONS PRETTY MUCH USELESS IF WE CAN’T EVEN GET IT OUT OF THAT BOX”!The Troopa frighteningly shouted.

And though he was just given the worst bit of news he could receive at that moment by his subordinate, Trython simply stared at him with a blank expression on his face before suddenly asking him,”You idiots really weren’t listening at the strategy meeting were you”?

The Koopa Troopa responded to the question by tilting his head to the side in confusion,”Huh”?, he asked, unable to answer the question”.

That told Trython everything he needed to know, which caused him to slap his hand on his face before turning and pointing towards the box,” If you all had actually been listening to the plan you’d know that the remote was decoy. The real way to open the box is with the passcode keypad on the side of it. The original plan was for one of you to be over there in case they tried anything funny”.

The Troopa raised a brow as he turned to where Trython was pointing and squinted his eyes tight in order to see what he was talking about.

And after a few moments of searching there it was, a slightly small but shiny gray keypad hidden on the left side of the box.

He was right, there was a keypad on the box…..

“You see it”?Trython asked curiously, but mostly trying to get on with the plan quickly.

The Koopa Troopa nodded his head,”Yeah I d- wait if the keypad was there the whole time then why the hell did we even need the remote we could have just gone over and opened it that way”.

“ Well obviously if they had figured out that the remote was a fake they would have just gone straight for the keypad so giving them the wrong idea would have given us the advantage and made them think that they were safe until we actually opened the box giving us an element of surprise’, Trython explained.

The Koopa Troopa Quickly dipped his head to the side accepting the answer that he was given.

now that he knew that his subordinate had known the actual plan, Trython mysteriously grinned as he slowly rubbed his Palms together,” and now that it's there and there's no one in our way we're going to open up our secret weapon that's inside that box and sick it on that stupid kid! And while everyone else is in parallel and panicking we're going to take this time to sneak up and kidnap this princess, it's foolproof!

The Koopa thought for a second before suddenly smiling maliciously as well“Okay yeah that sounds great! What do you need from me”?

Trython Place the hand on his shoulder,” Don't worry nothing much, the only thing I need you to do is keep watch and make sure that no one else especially the princess or the straw hat or any of the mushroom freaks come anywhere near us while I'm entering the passcode, so it shouldn’t take us long at all really. You got that”?

The Koopa nodded his head in conformation,”But wait what about the others, shouldn't we help them out”

Trython quickly shook his head and looked,’No they’re already playing their role as the diversions so that those two don't’ notice us. We’ll just be putting ourselves in danger for no reason”.

“But how the hell do we know that this doesn’t have a super vision power or something and he spots us?”The Troopa asked.

Trython, about to shoot that idea down, quickly stopped and thought about that for a second. It actually doesn’t sound too crazy now that he actually thought about it, considering the fact that they had just found out that not only could this guy physically (and quite literally) stretch his limbs and have some sort of super strength. If he’s able to do things as crazy as that by himself imagen what else he's able to do.

He looks at the Koopa Troopa and says,”Well if that's the case then we'll make sure that this is quick and that we're not talking too long”, before turning and looking over at the direction that the princess and straw hat were and lowering his voice,”Before any of them spot us and get the chance to stop us”.

He turned back to his subordinate and said,”Alright let's go”, before suddenly running off towards the direction of the box, the /koopa Troopa getting up and following after him.

Toad who was just sitting back and watching the battle go on between them and the Koopas in utter amazement in the fact that they were actually fighting off the koopas so easily.

He never would’ve thought that Luffy would be this capable in a fight like this, and he had only heard rumors about the princesses fighting skills from other toads throughout the kingdom, but to see in person up close was blowing his mind.

He was basically cheering them on at this point, which consisted of him saying things like,”Yeah kick his yellow scally ass Luffy”, or,”Yeah you go princess”, as if he was watching a fight on tv or something.

He was about to go and shout something else out to them, when suddenly, he noticed that two of the Koopa soldiers (mostly trython he noticed because he was the one who held him hostage earlier) were running away from the scene and making their way towards that weird moving box that they brought in earlier.

Wait why were they doing that, wasn’t that remote that they were going on and on about earlier already destroyed by the princess before they started fighting.

Why the hell were they just now going out of their way to go over there when it was already too late for them to open it?

Toad just couldn’t wrap his giant head around why they would be trying to do this now when there was no point.

Were they trying to run away?

No, there's now way that they would dare try something like that….

At least not without their king giving them the green light to do so otherwise they’d risk facing his merciless wrath.

Soon the toad noticed that they had arrived at the box (so that answered that question) and looked as if they were looking for something on it.

Were they trying to find a weak spot inside it so they could try and pry it open sense they didn’t have the remote any more..

Now that was desperation at its highest if he had ever seen it.,,,

There's no way in hell that those tiny ass turtles are gonna be able

And even if they did it's not like it would matter at this point, don’t know if they’ve actually bothered to notice yet or not.

But as of right now the mushroom kingdom had two absolute beasts out there on the battle basically with these Koopa clown’s shells without anything more than sheer strength alone.

And they really think that (though surrounded by a giant box) whatever the hell was in that box was gonna be strong enough…..or…..big…….enough ... ..to…..

Uh oh…..

There was only one thing that was actually dangerous enough to actually do a lot of damage to the kingdom and……..

Oh no…………..

A chill went down Toad’s spine as he finally realized just what it was that was inside that box and what it could do to the kingdom if those two let it out.

Oh god….

He needed to do something to stop them and he needed to do it quickly before they had a chance to open it up.

But he knew better than to go and do that alone, he wasn't strong enough to go in and stop them all by himself.

They would basically Pummel him if he tried that, especially if there were two of them there.

He turned over to see the Princess and Luffy still currently fighting off the other Koopa soldiers.

Toad knew that if he wasn’t able to stop them then maybe those two just might be able to

He quickly hops up from where he's sitting and dashes over to them in hopes of getting them to stop what's about to happen.

( BOOM)

Luffy’s fist crashed into the pavement as Bryce the sledgehammer bro was successfully able to dodge his attack.

Bryce looked over at Luffy and grinned wildly,”Hah, that all you got scrawny”, taunting him.

Luffy, gritting his teeth, quickly retracted to his arm and winds it up before throwing it right back at him, but this time Bryce uses his sledge hammer and bats it away from him.

Luffy winces slightly as he starts to retract his arm back to throw another punch, but then the sledgehammer bro suddenly starts charging, winding his hammer back and preparing.

Luffy sees this and panics and quickly tries to hasten his retracting process in order to defend himself, but it wasn’t fast enough to catch up to him in time because the sledge bro is already in front of him.

Luffys face turns pale blue as he sees him get closer towards him.

He winds his hammer back, preparing to strike him before swinging it right at his head, but before he could make any contact with it, Luffy acts quickly and ducks right as the hammer is about to touch his head, grabbing and pulling his straw hat with him.

And thankfully for him, a second or two later his arm finally retracted to him.

And as soon as that happened, Luffy acted quickly and went to aim his fist right at the center of sledge bros chest before eight his arm back and going……

( BAM)

Luffy swings his arm forward and lands a solid blow that hits the bro right in his chest, sending him tumbling back a few feet away and creating a huge creator crack on his plastron, which causes a little bit of blood to leak out.

But before he lost his balance and fell to the ground, Bryce quickly caught himself by using his sledgehammer as some sort of supportering cane.

He then looked over at Luffy and smiled smugly and mockingly at him……..

Luffy groaned and gritted his teeth after seeing that his opponent was still standing even after all those (almost) consecutive hits he dealt to him.

Ok yeah sure he was holding back a shit ton of his own strength so he wouldn’t accidentally kill them but he wasn’t exactly giving these guys love tap’s either.

And the punches he gave them were far from ineffective, considering that he was able to put the smaller ones to sleep, but this big guy here just wouldn't go down And was looking like he could take a punch.

At least that was how he was looking like to Luffy, but how he really felt was almost entirely different.

Bryce was almost in complete agony at least his chest anyway, for a scrawny kid like him he could pack quite a punch and cause this much damage.

He was trying to put on a tough face for his troops (the ones that were still conscious anyway) so that they would still be motivated to continue the fight on.

But unfortunately for him that was becoming a lot harder than he could possibly think and definitely more easier said than done.

This kid was tough, like really tough. Not only was one of his Sledgehammer attacks working against him (or really hitting him that much if you really want to go into detail), but he was a lot slower than him as well, meaning a lot more open for a lot of attacks, and he was taking a lot of attacks.

He Was only just managing to dodge a few of them as best he could.

But that last hit was a lot more than he could handle, and it hurt a lot more too.It had even cracked his plastron enough to make it bleed a tiny bit, which hurt like hell by the way,And now he was stuck nursing and caressing it trying to ease the pain down as best he could.

And this fight really wasn't getting him anywhere but more bruises and bumps. So he really needed to start thinking outside the box before he ended up like his other friends.

He grown slightly as he started to use the hammer to help lift himself up a tiny bit before forcing a grin on his face and saying,” got to say for a kid you pack a cute little punch was going to take a lot more than that to beat me”, then lifts himself up and puts the hammer over his shoulder,” and believe me I could do this all day”, he briefly Bluffs trying to steal put on the ppl strong face.

Though that might actually be the death of him in the next few minutes if he kept this charade going.

If it wasn’t obvious enough, Luffy was definitely much stronger than the sledge bro Bryce, and though he has a tough exterior, Luffy has broken things, a hundred no a thousand times harder than that, and was mostly just pulling his punches. If he wanted to he could crush him like a fly in a matter of moments no seconds. And even though he was a pretty strong Koopa for his size he didn't really know how much more of this he could take from him.

Luffy angrily gritted his teeth and shouts,”Oh yeah, well lets see how ya like this”!, right before he suddenly starts charging right for him.

Bryce is shocked at first but then quickly snaps himself out of it and starts groaning in pain as he lifts himself up from leaning on his hammer and gets into a hammer swinging ready stance in preparation for his next attack.

As Luffy is running towards Bryce, he starts stretching both his arms far back behind himself while shouting,”NOW GUM GUM……..”, as he is only a few feet away from him.

Bryce in response started winding his hammer back in preparation to swing but unfortunately due to the injuries that he had, he wasn’t able to move as fast as he usually does, which ended up slowing down his swinging motion.

Which was basically a blessing in disguise for fully energized and speedy Luffy, because he was just about right in front of him getting ready to launch.

Bryce tried his best to swing and attack in time to catch him before he could use his attack but again due to his injuries he wasn’t able Luffy in time.

And before the hammer makes any contact with him, Luffy runs up and then hurls his arms forward, ( BOOM) striking the sledge hammer bro with both instantaneously with a double open palm strike with both hands,”BAZOOKA”!!!!

The blow landed right on Bryce’s chest, hitting him right in the cracked wound, causing him to cough up a bunch of blood and gasp loudly in pain.

The attack was so powerful that it sent the sledge bro straight up flying off in the other direction and crashing into one of the nearby mushroom buildings.

Well that was that, Luffy had successfully beaten the biggest Koopa guy there.

And though he would’ve liked to have celebrated this win, even he knew that there were still a few more of them that he needed to deal with.

He looked over and saw the princess ducking and dodging the hammers being thrown by the hammer bro as she was trying to get to him and his two other green Koopa buddies.

Luffy was about to run over and help her get to them (or at least to help keep the hammers away from hitting her) when he suddenly stopped himself once he noticed that she was holding something in her hand.

He took a closer look and saw that she had what looked to be one other green Koopa shell in her hand and was holding it like a football, kind of.

He somewhat understood what you were trying to do at that moment and decided not to help her.

She was charging at them with full speed and tightly holding the shell in her left hand all while trying not to get hit by the oncoming spears and hammers that were coming right at her.

She and when she couldn’t dodge one of the hammers in time she used the shell in her hand as like a shield to protect herself.

What she was trying to do was take them all out using the Koopa shell in her hand.

And thankfully for her She would soon be able to do just that, because once she had gotten close enough to them she quickly aimed and made sure that she was on target before she purposely dropped the shell out of her hand and kicked it with as much force as she possibly could muster in her right leg.

The shell went directly for the Koopa troopa to the right of the hammer bro and it hit him right on his nostrils, instantly knocking him out. After the shell had hit him in the face, it had bounced off that koopa troopa’s face and went straight for the Koopa on the left, this time hitting him in the chest, causing him to groan and cough up blood. Both Koopa Troopas were sucked back into their shells once they were hit with the attack. And thanks to that the hits only made the last attack go even faster as it went for the hammer bro. He picked up one of his hammers and try to use it to knock the shell away from them, but before he even had the chance to make contact with it it already flew past his hammer and hit him right in his mouth, knocking him out instantly and getting sucked back into his shell and drop to the ground.

Once Peach had taken care of them successfully, she took a breath and quickly started to dust herself off of any dust or filth that may have gotten on her while she was fighting.

She does that often when she knows that she’s done a lot of moving around. You know mainly just to help also maintain her royal and elegance she was taught as a kid.

While she was doing this a sudden voice called out to her.“Hey looks like we got 'em all”!

Peched turned to see that it was the stretchy human she’d been fighting alongside who was coming right in her direction.

She then takes a closer look behind him and sees no sign of sledge hammer bro from earlier or any of the other Koopa troopa.

She nodded and placed both her hands on her hips”, Yeah, and it looks like you had an easy time disposing of the others”, she shot back as he had gotten closer to her.

(Giggles)”Yup, these guys ain’t nothing to me prince, I’m too strong for em”, Luffy responded reassuringly as he stopped a couple of feet away from her.

“Yeah about that, not that I know everything or anything really about most humans, considering I’d only ever heard of them in books or little fairytale stories around the kingdom. But I've never heard of any human doing what you're capable of doing, you are sure that you're a human, right”?, she asked curiously.

Luffy slightly tilted his head and placed his fingers on his chin as if to think about something before saying,”I don’t know, let….me.…see”, he suddenly starts briefly feeling up his face and his body,”I feel pretty human“, before shrugging his shoulders and dropping his hands.

Peach, after seeing and hearing that, had to physically try her very hardest not to burst out laughing after seeing that by balling , not wanting to let her emotions get out of control, that wouldn't be very princess-like for her.

But instead she took a step closer to him, reached out, and grabbed hold of his cheek and pulled it out towards her, stretching it in the process.

“Whoa”, she said in amazement as she felt his stretchy skin on her gloved hand, to be honest it felt as if she was actually touching a piece of rubber instead of skin.

She was almost mesmerized being the look and feeling of it, however a little too mesmerized by it, because quite a few seconds had gone by of her just staring at Luffy’s skin and it was starting to weird him out a tiny bit, especially with the strong grip that she had too.

But unfortunately for him it was about to get a lot worse for him.

Peach’s face suddenly lit up with excitement (not bothering to turn and look at him but still looking at the stretched cheek) as she started hitting him with a boatload of questions like,“Do you not feel any of this?! I mean I know you probably do because of your ,hopefully, flesh and blood and nerves. But I mean doesn’t it ever hurt you when you stretch yourself?! Wait, is there a limit to how far you can stretch yourself?! Have you ever tried to test it out yourself?! Oh shit wait what am I talking about of course you have! Wait, can you tell me?! You have to tell me! You have t-”, Peach stopped talking once she actually started looking at Luffy, she saw how uncomfortable and wide-eyed he looked with all the questions she was asking him.

Luffy rose a brow in confusion,”Um, hey whya grabbin my face, it feels weird”.

Her face went red as she realized that she once again let her curious side get the best of her and caused her to go on another rant like earlier when they had first met.

And this time Toadsworth wasn’t there to let her know to keep that under control in time for it not to become too much either.

Red with embarrassment, she quickly cleared her throat and let go of his cheek as she then took a step back from him.

She then quickly but awkwardly fixed herself and her demeanor up before turning back to face him, still red with embarrassment,”Uh I mean (Ahem), its\ looks like a useful skill to have, straw-hat”.

Luffy smiled at he,”yeah you're pretty good at fightin too, aintcha”, he asked in response to the comment she just gave him

Peach (trying her best not to indulge in conversation with him or really ty to get too friendly with him) turned away from him, still trying her best to hide her also still blushing red cheeks,”Well um before we conversate further, I’m going to go check and see if there are anymore of them in the are still in the area. Just in case if they are still here, they can’t get to my-”.

“Oh, hey Toad”, Luffy called out, interrupting her.

Peach turned back around after he said that and saw that one of her red toads (who was weirdly wearing mix matched clothes) was running right towards them, frantically waving his hands.

“LUFFY!!!! PRINCESS!!!!!”, she loudly shouted as he was running,”YOU GUYS GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE RIGHT NOW! IT'S COMING!!!!!

The princess and the pirate both shot him a look of confusion after he said that,

“What is he talking about”?, Peach asked aloud to herself as she took a few steps forward towards him.

Luffy shrugs in response to her question,”I don’t know, lemme ask em”, before he then raises his hands up to his mouth and yells out,”TOAD WHATCHA TALKIN ABOUT-”!!!!

Suddenly a loud crashing sound could be heard from the distance that was so loud that it caused everything around them to shake violently.

Liffy stopped talking as soon as he had heard the sound and felt the earth quaking like it was shaking.

It was so bad that he also had to quickly catch the princess before she lost her balance and fell.

Though she wasn’t very appreciative about it, because once he caught her, she turned red and quickly pushed him away.

Toad (who though knew exactly what that sound had to mean) continued running towards them with even so much as taking a quick peek at what the noise was.

Though it was a little rude, Luffy didn’t think much of it and turned to see where all that noise had just come from.

But once he did his head immediately tilted in confusion as he pointed out to it and asked,”Uh hey Princess, what’s that giant ball thing down there”?

Peach rows a brow after hearing the question (In her head),”Giant Ball? What the hell is he-“, when suddenly, a wave of realization to what he was referring to hit her.

She quickly spun around only to see the terrifying sight of the creature he was referring to.

And her eyes went wide at The terrifying sight of The Giant Chain Chomp!

The Giant Chain Chomp resembled a ball that had big circular eyes, large gaping mouths, and razor-sharp teeth.it had a restraining tail-like chain coming from its behind.

(THUMP)

The chain chomp slowly followed trython out of the box and into toad town while the Koopa Troopa stayed behind it to make sure that the chain was disconnected and away from the box.

And after making sure that it was completely out of the box (Ha!) the two Koopas ordered it to stop moving.

“Alright chomps listen up and listen good! You see that castle over there”?Trython points towards Peach’s castle.

The chain chomps eyes follow where he’s pointing before giving a loud (BARK) in response.

“Good, cause now that you see it I want you to go and tear it to pieces, along with everything else in this disgusting kingdom! And don’t worry you can go ahead and eat the little Mushroom tots with it, but not the princess, we need her alive”!, he then starts motioning the chain chomp towards the town,”Now go on and have fun- oh and if you see someone with a straw hat around while you doing your job, be sure to kill him quickly and make sure he’s dead”!

And with that, the ginormous chain chomps sets its eyes towards peach's castle and growls as it starts to make its way towards Peach”s castle while barking excitedly.

Any buildings, carts, or different structures that were in its way were chomped on or crushed by its humongous jaws.

Luffy and Peach stood there in place staring wide eyed down at the chain chomp coming right towards them (and you know just pretend that it's going around chomping things up in the Kingdom dramatically).

“Oh no”, Peach said in her head as she watched all the destruction that chain chomp was causing.

“That’s a chain chomp! They’re deadly creatures that cause massive amounts of destruction if they're let off their chains”!, Peach explained to Luffy as they both continued to stare at it.

Luffy then tilted his head and raised a brow as he noticed it was sort of acting like a wild dog,”Hey why is it acting like a giant puppy”?

Peach sighed with a tiny bit of annoyance, wondering why that was what he was worrying about at this moment before answering,”They are dogs, we’ll sort of. They’re used as guard dogs in the koopa kings army and used as weapons too”!

Luffy was about to ask another question when they both suddenly heard all the sounds of destruction that the chain chomp was causing and jumped at it.

Peach with an almost frightened look in her eyes glanced at Luffy before looking back at the chain chomp,”If this thing keeps this up, it’ll reduce my entire kingdom to nothing but rubble and debris”!

They had to do something in order to prevent that from happening.

Well at least one of them needed to anyway, because Luffy had already put on his determined grin and punched his fist into his hand as he started walking toward it,”Well then don’t worry princess, I’ll handle this”!

Ok……

Now the princess was a lot of things at this exact time.

But stupid and hopelessly hopeful wasn’t anywhere near one of them.

Sure he may have been strong enough to take down even the one of the strongest and elite Koopa in their kingdom, but a koopa and a giant (keyword: Giant) Chain Chomp were two very different things.

Strong or not there's no way that he’s gonna be able to take that thing on and I didn’t know how many sledgehammer Brose he was going to beat down. Therefore there was no way he could convince her that he could do that.

She quickly ran after him in protest ,” whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, what do you think you’re doing?! Do not tell me that you're thinking of going over there to fight that thing all by yourself are you”?

Luffy turned to her and nodded his head,” Hell yeah, he ain’t nothin to me! I don’t need any help, I can handle it, no problem”!

Peach wasn’t really having it and she definitely wasn’t in the mood to argue.

So she stopped in front of him in order to stop him,”Yeah, OK no, what we actually need to do is think of a careful plan on how to stop that thing without causing too much destruction,, or worse getting ourselves killed! You may be a strong human, but you’re a human nonetheless, and we’re gonna need more than stretchy punches if we want to handle that thing”.

Luffy, while continuing to walk toward it, simply gave the princess a reassuring look,” Don’t worry princess I’ve handled big things like that before plenty of times so I should be able to take it on, no problem“!

Pete slapped her hand on her head and continued trying to reason with him,” no, you’re not listening to me all right you have to-“, when suddenly she felt something grab her by the hand and yank her in the opposite direction of the blocks and to her castle.

She turned to look down and saw that the culprit was the same Toad that she saw running towards her.

She looked down at him,”What are you doing?! Let go of me, we have to stop that thing before it destroys the entire kingdom”!

Turned turned around to face her while running in response and said,”Apologies princess but trying to take on a giant chain chomp would be suicidal! We need to make sure you’re safe and out of harm's way, if that thing”.

The princess wasn’t really trying to listen to that. She was too busy looking down at the straw hatted human. I’m still walking towards the change up (which at this point was still a little busy chewing up the town and didn't really notice him),” what not let go of me we have to make sure that humans don't get killed by that thing”!She said, protesting.

Despite her protest however, Toad continued pulling her away from the scene and back to her castle to safety, but as he was doing this he turned to her with a more serious look on his face,”Sorry princess but that's a chain Chomp,they're usually bad news to be around! And the last thing we need or want is for you to get hurt at a time like this”!, before his expression changes into a cheerful smile,”Besides I'm sure if Luffy can take down a bunch of stinking Koopas then a chain chomp shouldn't be anything for him, right”?!

The princess was about to continue protesting when she suddenly stopped to consider what the toad had just said.

Could he really take that thing on?

She saw that he had some strength with him sure but could it be enough to hand something as big as that thing.

She would have to see for herself.

She turned her head around (Toad secretly doing the same) to the sight of Luffy walking up behind the chain chomp, who was currently chewing up one of the crazy cap shops.

“HEY YOU TEETHY”!Luffy loudly called out to the chewing chain chomp.

The chain chomp stops chewing the building pieces apart and turns to look down to see the sight of a straw hatted boy that was staring him down with anger and fury.

Remembering what its superior told him about what to do if it sees someone with a straw hat, the chain chomp quickly spun around to face him right as he made a stop at its chin and a loud growling sound came from it.

Luffy in response gritted his teeth and cracked his neck before he then started to shout out,”STOP CHEWIN UP THOSE BUILDINGS OR I’M GONNA KICK YOUR A-”!!!

(BOOM)

Unfortunately for him the chain chomp wasn't really one for listening to reason, especially not from those who were to be considered to be his enemies. because the next thing Luffy knew the chain chopped at hopped up in the air and then got right on him almost as if to crush him.

It happened so fast that there wasn’t any real time to process what had happened right in there in front of everyone.

Peach and Toad’s eyes slowly went wide as both shocked and horrified expressions grew on both their faces.

Luffy-Luffy just got killed

(End of Chapter )

Hey everyone, hi no I know you don’t have to say it. I was like this chapter but I have a lot going on in my life and I’m still trying to process the death of my family.

But thankfully I was able to get this done and now we can still continue the series and yes the series is still going to continue. It’ll just take some time between chapters. Hopefully the next one will be a lot sooner than later.

And obviously this little cliffhanger isn’t something a lot of you will need to worry about in the next chapter.

Hope y’all like the new poster I made for the book too so now it’s easier for you all to know what the story’s about.

Next chapter will be the last Luffy point of view story.

Till next time.

"I'll kill them for doing this to you."

That cursed group- the gang who had been Vega's swore enemy since the streets...-Clashing over and over again as if they were destined to be, for some time, Vega had peace in her community, found time to grow and build something instead of living out of plundering and scavenging alone. She had tried to focus on the good things, building instead of destroying, saving instead of killing- what allowed Rick and Carl to survive and be part of her community. The bonds between them had grown stronger. Their hearts...they knew what they felt, but they were to coward to confess to each other- two introverts, broken by the past mistakes, so hurt by the world, who tried to show only a hard shell, hide their weaknesses while seeking for the things that made them happy. Shiro, Fox, Vega, Carl, Rick. The had become a family. As the community begun to prosper and they finally had more time for themselves, things just felt different. Even though Vega and Rick wouldn't say a thing, them both knew, everyone knew that at some point, they would end up together. The way they cared for each other, they way they understood each other- it was just a matter of who would awaken bravery first so they actually became a thing. The glances, the gifts they would bring each other, it was so obvious. Obvious also for the enemy.

After massacring many smaller communities, there would be a day when Vega and her nemesis would meet again She knew, but would always be quiet about it, hoping the day would never arrive. But it did. One of her group had betrayed and sold info to that bloodthirsty gang in exchange of a position of power. It all happened when Vega and her main formation had left to clear the area that would be their first outpost. They broke into her community, but they didn't want to kill and abuse the survivors, no, not just that at least- they wanted full submission. Vega had Rick be one of her lieutenants, and once she had left with Shiro and her most trusted war partners, he was left in charge- just what the enemy was waiting for.

They attacked with grenades, they were heavily armed- Rick quickly organized a quick defense and managed to take out many of the barbarians, however, their surprise and superior fire power won, and the community decided to surrender to avoid extermination. 'That emo bitch, I will make sure she reads my letter, and I am sure she WILL agree to lower her head and work for me- she will have all of you work for me.' The gang leader had a devious smirk on his face as he made his speech, the survivors frozen, surrendered, still under the aim of enemy guns. 'Rick....right? I heard a lot about you. How you became so special to her. Some say she was even smiling, can you believe that? I never saw Vega smile, you my man, must be someone SPECIAL. You really helped this place grow once you showed up, didn't you? The community you came from sure must have been ahead- I wish it was still standing so we could also have them work for us. Too bad though, we can't have everything, can we?' The enemy leader kept a smirk, despite his eyes being full of anger and blood thirst. 'You will be the example, Rick. I know you're precious to her and most people here admire you lots. He chuckled, then had his men put Rick on his knees.

'Everyone who is here, ready to watch our little show, you better record this deep down in your minds, so you will know what will happen to any asshole who tried to rebel against us. If you have bad memory then use some camera, cause whoever forgets the lesson...will get what our cowboy here will get, for resisting against my humble visit. You all should thank us, because this time, and if you behave, we won't kill or rape or torture you- see how I'm generous? We just want you to work for us. Just that. Well, except for you Rick. I will wrap you for present and I don't want anyone else taking him from the spot I will leave him for beloved emo punk rock Vega to see.'

When Vega arrived, the enemy had already left for quite some time. There were clear signs of attack on the walls of the place she called home. Only some fighters who had resisted had been shot, but none had died. The people were crying, most frozen in place in shock, others shaking in anger, but everyone was right there, where they were forced to stand. Even though the enemy had already left. Rick was on the floor, stripped, bleeding, full of marks of abuse- his back, whipped by some leather belt, his lips busted, dirty with the remains of what the boss had forced him to swallow and choke on, his pale skin bruised for being rolled over many times, blood between his legs, some of the nails of his left hand had been stabbed underneath, bleeding, one of his nipples too had been pressed until it bled, and the most horrendous- his right arm- it was on the floor, a few meters away from him- a belt was tight around what remained on his arm, some centimeters ahead of his elbow, containing most of the bleeding so he didn't die. The sheriff was pale, shaking in pain, due to so many kicks and punches and all the rest at least three men had done to him. He was broken. He had been through all that with only anger and a fierce spirit in his eyes, but having his arm being chopped off so brutally, the pain was too intense for him to keep showing strength, and the abuses he suffered after that in front of all the survivors, in front of his son, the shame, the humiliation, that finished breaking him. He just wanted to die. But his heart was still beating.

When he saw Vega, his eyes filled with tears for the first time that day. He was relieved yet...feeling so much shame. "I couldn't....couldn't....I couldn't stop them.' His voice held so much suffering. He couldn't even look at her in the face. Slowly his consciousness was fading away, the pain...the cold he was feeling...and he also felt so dirty. He pressed his forehead against the floor, crying. The last thing he heard was her voice, swearing for revenge. He hoped so. He really hoped she did it, and not just for his sake. The fact she showed anger for what they had done to him, that comforted Rick a bit, even thought with an arm chopped off he imagined he would just be a burden for her.

Rewatching 24x19 where Velasco and Churlish take a road trip and how Velasco wanted to take Muncy cause he's more comfortable with her.

Makes me wonder, if Muncy had gone, what would of happened in Maine?

Rollisi's relationship took a big step backwards after their road trip to WV. Resulting in them to wait like 3 years to finally get together.

Still, you can't help but wonder what would of happened if Velasco and Muncy were alone together in Maine? And what would of happened once they returned to the city?

You make an important point!! I really wanted Muncy to go with him in that episode. If we can't have that, I wish there was at least a scene where they talk after Velasco returned. Unfortunately, when it comes to the side characters we can never get what we need…

In my opinion, their bond developed very quickly and if they had gone there together, their relationship would have leveled up. Velasco is not someone who opens up easily about his past. Whenever he has talked about himself, it has always been because he had to. Even if it's Muncy, he's not someone who likes to talk about it. But if they had gone there together, Muncy could have helped him break out of his shell and undoubtedly things would have been easier for Velasco. After all, mistakes are inevitable when you have a radar near you waiting for you to make them (you know who I mean).

Muncy, on the other hand, is not someone who talks much about himself. This trip could have brought them much closer together. If even Velasco and Churlish were better when they came back, I can't imagine him and Muncy.

On the other hand, Muncy’s not someone who talks much about herself either. This trip could have brought them much closer together. If even Velasco and Churlish were better when they came back, I can't imagine him and Muncy.

I'm still very angry that they wrote them that way. For me, they were the only couple and the only characters with a promising future, since Rollins also left. I always had big dreams about Rollisi and Veluncy. There is still nothing definite (or at least I hope so) but it seems they chose to waste them both.

(PS: I really love talking about Veluncy and being asked questions about them so thank you 🤍)

This story was written for Black Bulls Month Day 3: Found Family. I checked with the organiser and got the greenlight for this idea so hopefully what I've written still fits the prompt. I honestly can't believe I actually got this finished in time! 😅

Story Below the Cut! Thank you for reading!

“Dad! Dad! Come see my sandcastle!” Licita’s bare feet made a trail of excited footprints as she ran straight for Asta. Beaming, he scooped his daughter up in his arms causing her to giggle before she grabbed his hand and dragged him off towards the town of sandcastles she and several of her Black Bulls cousins had been building with their Uncle Rill. Judging by the ice cream smeared all over her face, Rill’s daughter Anni had seemingly been distracted from her own sandcastle by snacks leaving her dad to finish it on his own—not that he seemed to mind much since he didn’t even notice Asta wave at him as he walked by. Captain Yami’s son, Katsu, and Lia Roulacase seemed to be equally caught up in their work and, if Asta had to guess, some sort of competition to see whose sandcastle would be the biggest—though they did both find the time to quickly wave back at him. On the other side of their sandcastles, Liebe, in what Noelle affectionately referred to as his “cutesy form,” was smoothing the wall of a much smaller and less elaborate structure.

“This one is mine,” said Licita excitedly—her little blonde pigtails bobbing as she talked.

Asta beamed at her. “It’s beautiful!”

“I’ll show you around, Dad!” Licita’s eyes sparkled with pride as she dragged Asta around the sand structure. She pointed to a cluster of shells stuck into one of the mounds of sand. “That’s the door. Narah helped me find seashells to make it. Narah didn’t make a sandcastle, but she was helping build mine before she went to get more seashells.”

Asta’s smile widened. Narah Roulacase had inherited her father’s kind heart and had always been particularly attached to Licita seeing her more as a little sister than just a little cousin. “That’s really nice of her.”

“Narah is really nice. I like her a lot. I like all my cousins!” Licita prattled excitedly with a smile that seemed to fill her tiny face. “Did you see Lia and Katsu’s sandcastles? They’re really big!”

“Yes, I saw them when we came over,” chuckled Asta. “But your sandcastle is really big too, Licita, and I love all the windows!”

“Uncle Liebe made those. I’m making this sandcastle for him to stay in, and I want to be big enough. Can you help us, Dad?”

“Sure,” said Asta as he reached for a nearby shovel. He couldn’t help but chuckle a little as he glanced over at Liebe who had returned to work—carving another window in the sand. Asta knew that if he had even jokingly suggested making a sandcastle for Liebe, Liebe probably would’ve crossed his arms and scowled at him, but he had such a soft spot for his niece that these days he could be caught building sandcastles, having tea parties, playing dress up, and doing a wide variety of other things, Asta could have never imagined Liebe doing before Licita was born. Asta wondered if it was perhaps how much his daughter took after him and her namesake that caused Liebe to be so attached to her or perhaps it was all the ways she was like Noelle—her smile, the way her nose wrinkled when she laughed, how her shoulders stiffened and she fidgeted when she was nervous. Liebe and Noelle had bonded so much over the years, and she had once confided in him that Liebe, despite only being her brother-in-law, felt as much like her brother as Nozel, possibly even more so.

At the thought of his brother-in-law, Asta glanced towards the ocean where Nozel was standing at the water’s edge holding onto the hands of his young daughter, Acier, who giggled as the water crashed against her feet in tiny little waves. It had been Asta’s idea to invite him and his family along with them to Racque—after talking it over with Noelle, of course—and he liked to think Nozel was grateful to be there, even if he did look a bit exhausted, probably from chasing his twin boys up and down the beach earlier.

Asta was at least pleased to see that he looked happier to be there than Langris, who Finral had invited along for, Asta presumed, much the same reason that he and Noelle had invited Nozel and who had unfortunately, despite ample amounts of sunscreen, gotten horribly burned on their first day. Asta chuckled a bit to himself remembering how Vanessa had teased him for looking like a beached lobster at dinner the previous evening, but immediately felt sorry for it. Despite still being a bit red, Langris seemed to be doing alright now—collecting seashells with his son and his niece not a few yards away from the sandcastle village. Asta wondered if Narah was collecting seashells for her older sister’s sandcastle too or just Licita’s.

It warmed Asta’s heart to see everyone together again. He was sure that most of his former squad mates must have felt the same way since they had all jumped at Vanessa’s idea for everyone to meet at the beach in Racque that summer. Asta and Noelle had been some of the first to commit to the idea and had been planning the trip for months. Of course, that had been before Noelle had found out she was expecting their third child—or the ’tie breaker’ as Luck liked to refer to the baby—and despite Asta’s reassurances that they wouldn’t have to go if it was going to be too much for her, his wife, in that strong, determined way of hers, had insisted that they keep their vacation plans. She had already had two children, she had reasoned, so she knew what she was dealing with, and Asta trusted her judgment. Still, that didn’t change the fact that he was a bit worried about her being in the heat and bright sun for so long when she was so heavily pregnant. He was sure he wasn’t alone in this type of concern seeing as he and Noelle weren’t the only ones expecting—even if their baby was due the soonest.

Asta glanced over at the cabana Henry had set up which Zora had nicknamed “the nest” with a sort of affection on account of all the new or expectant mothers congregating there. Noelle was lounging there now, positively in stitches over Henry’s wife, Lorelei, balancing a tower of seashells on the wide curve of her abdomen. She was due a month after Noelle and had recently knitted a set of matching booties for her baby and theirs since she was determined that they should grow up to be friends. Finesse, who was giggling behind her hand, had also been given a set of booties as she was due nearly two months later and was sporting quite the bump of her own which was a source of much stress, worry, and fussing for everyone, her husband and brother-in-law especially, given her often delicate health. Not an hour ago, Vanessa had told them all to calm down and stop worrying for what had to be the fifteenth time that day, but she too had been keeping a watchful eye on her. She had been looking out for Lorelei and Noelle too, which Asta appreciated. He was sure that Henry did as well especially while his attention was focused on watching his boys splashing around in the shallow water.

It seemed that Vanessa’s strong maternal streak, which Asta had always admired, had only intensified when she had children. Even now, she was helping Charmy pass out water and snacks to the other ladies despite the fact that she could probably benefit from some rest and relaxation of her own considering the fact that she too was, as she called it, “unexpectedly expecting” and seemed to be at that uncomfortably round stage of pregnancy, though she swore she wasn’t nearly as far along as she looked. Still her little one would be also arriving this year along with the rest of the new Black Bulls cousins, and her baby’s matching set of Lorelei’s booties appeared to still be a work in progress—attached to some temporarily forgotten knitting needles. It brought the brightest smile to Asta’s face. He couldn’t wait for all the children to get to grow up together.

He was also glad to see Noelle in such bright spirits, despite being a little bit squished given the wide curve in her belly and the two little boys who were currently leaning on her like a pillow that is. Almos Silva, the elder of Nozel’s twins whom Asta had affectionately nicknamed ‘Al’ much to his father’s chagrin when the nickname had stuck, was particularly fond of his Aunt Noelle and had fallen asleep leaning against her side at nearly every family gathering Asta could think of. This time, however, he had company, as Kai, Asta and Noelle’s two-year-old son, had curled up next to his mother and fallen asleep on her other side with a half-eaten and now melting popsicle in his hand. Asta couldn’t help but laugh a bit as he watched Noelle chuckle at her attempts to fan herself without upsetting her sleeping son and nephew.

His laughter must’ve startled her as she turned towards him with a slight shrug and playful roll of her eyes. Asta beamed at her before turning back to his daughter.

“I’m going to check on your mom real quick. I’ll be right back.”

Licita smiled and nodded. “Tell her about my sandcastle, okay?”

Asta beamed and nodded at her before making his way towards Noelle. Even by the time, he had walked over to the umbrella, Charmy and Vanessa were still busy handing out large glasses of water with festive umbrella straws to the group.

“Here,” Charmy said handing him one. “Drink up. We don’t want anybody getting dehydrated. Take Noelle’s too.”

“Thanks, Charmy!” said Asta as she handed him another cup with a different coloured straw, before she turned to Grey whose hands were currently full, rocking her daughter, Mira, to sleep. Amira Adlai was the first girl in a long line of boys and a generally fussy baby, but she looked so peaceful now as she slept. Charmy gave Grey an understanding nod and thoughtfully placed her cup next to her on a small folding table as Asta took a seat next to his wife and sleeping son and nephew.

He rubbed her back gently with his free hand. “You doing okay, Noelle? Do you want to go back to the hotel and rest?”

“I’m fine,” she assured him with a slight smile.

“At least let me take, Kai,” he said reaching out to scoop up his son. Kai stirred but quickly nestled into Asta’s shoulder and drifted back off to sleep. “Well, someone needs a nap,” Asta chuckled affectionately ruffling his fingers gently through his son’s silvery hair.

Asta thought Kai must be exhausted from playing around in the water with him and his uncles. Though Asta had ducked out about an hour ago, from what he could tell, Magna and Luck were still engaged in an intense splash fight with several nieces and nephews, and every few minutes or so, “Asa, stop turning into me!” or “Kalon, get down from there!” would echo across the beach followed by Asa Adlai, transformed into one of the Silvas, giggling at having drenched Uncle Magna again with borrowed water magic, Rye Boismortier complaining that he was starving before painting up a popsicle or an ice cream cone for himself, or little Summer Legolant running up the beach hand and hand with Daphne Agrippa excitedly exclaiming that she had found yet another hermit crab for the growing collection of “friends” that Gordon was keeping a watchful eye on in a nearby tide pool. In other words, the same kind of fun chaos the Black Bulls had enjoyed back in the day—just with a few more, younger members. That reminded him…

“Oh, Licita wanted me to tell you that she’s building a sandcastle for Liebe. I think she wants you to come see it when she’s done. As long as you’re up for it.”

Noelle tilted her head at him with an almost bantering exasperation. “Bakasta…”

Asta’s mouth twitched into a smile at the nickname which his wife only used in an affectionate and, generally, playfully annoyed way these days. “Sorry. I know. I just want to make sure you and the baby are okay,” he said as he pressed his hand to her stomach.

“Don’t worry. We’re taking good care of her,” reassured Vanessa with a kind smile. “And I swear Nozel has been over here every five minutes to make sure she’s drinking enough water.”

Noelle rolled her eyes and sighed. Asta knew that her only reservation about inviting Nozel along was that he would probably be fussing over her constantly, and, naturally, being Nozel, he was. “I told him I’m fine,” she huffed. “He’s such a worrier.”

“I think that it’s sweet that he cares about you so much,” said Finesse in her soft and gentle way.

Vanessa laughed. “Of course, you would say that,” she teased, and a pale rose filled Finesse’s cheeks.

“I like when he brings his daughter over. She’s so cute,” gushed Charmy. “All those Silva babies with their big, pretty eyes!” She turned to Noelle and Asta with a bright smile. “Who do you think this one will take after?”

Asta and Noelle looked at each other thoughtfully. Their third little one was a tie breaker in this way as well since Licita looked more like Asta and Kai looked more like Noelle. He shrugged. “Dunno. What do you think, Noelle?”

Noelle’s brow furrowed. “Guess we’ll just have to wait and see…” she conceded with a sigh.

“Just don’t mention it around Zora or Magna or they’ll start a betting pool again,” joked Vanessa with a wink.

“Where is Zora anyway?” asked Charmy.

“He said something about going with Finral to go pick up some watermelon,” replied Vanessa with a shrug.

Charmy frowned. “We have enough food already.”

“I think it’s for a game,” chimed Grey quietly enough that she wouldn’t wake the sleeping baby.

As if on cue, Finral and Zora suddenly appeared through a shimmery portal.

“Hey, we got watermelon!” Zora yelled at the chaotic group of kids still playing in the water with Luck and Magna. Finral, however, turned to the cabana with a weary sigh.

“Sorry about that. Did we miss anything?” Everyone seated under the cabana shook their heads. “Good. Zora was very insistent about getting everyone together for some watermelon splitting but couldn’t find any watermelon so I told him I’d portal him to the market to pick some up. He’s a very slow shopper though…”

“He was probably just stalling so he could get a break from all the chaos around here,” laughed Vanessa.

Finral shrugged but chuckled, “Yeah probably. I think he picked up every single watermelon they had, and—” He paused holding up a hand to the group. “Hold on just a second…”

In an instant, he had pulled his son, Kalon, gently through a portal. Kalon’s brow furrowed confusedly, but he beamed at him. “Thanks, Dad!”

“Please be careful, Kalon. How did you even get up there?”

Kalon, however, didn’t seem to hear him as his attention had turned to Asta and Noelle. “Oh hi, Uncle Asta. You and Aunt Noelle are still married right?”

“What?” Noelle’s confused exclamation caused her sleeping son and nephew to stir, but they swiftly drifted back off again as Asta double-checked that ring on his left hand, just to be sure.

“Yeah, we’re still married and very happy.”

“Oh good! I’m glad!” Kalon’s smile widened, and he turned to glance over his shoulder exclaiming, “Tirion, don’t worry! Uncle Asta and Aunt Noelle are still married so it’s okay!”

Reaching the edge of the cabana after, Asta presumed, running after Kalon, a particularly flushed Tirion ran a hand through his already messy pink hair before rubbing his hand across the back of his neck. “Thank goodness. I was really worried for a minute,” he sighed in relief before being pulled into a hug by his mother, Vanessa. It seemed to visibly calm him, and his face softened to a gentle smile.

“Kalon, what did you do?” asked Noelle with a stern but affectionate sigh.

“Nothing,” he insisted before he noticed his father’s pointed tilt of his head at him and fidgeted a little. “Well not nothing, but nothing bad…”

“Kalon, we talked about this, remember?” Finral said—his voice kind but a bit weary. “No time traveling when we’re on vacation.”

“Sorry, Dad. It was an accident. But don’t worry, I didn’t break any of the rules on the list—I don’t think but I don’t know because I didn’t have it with me because I didn’t want it to get wet and I’m not supposed to time travel on vacation.” Kalon nodded empathically with a bright, cheerful smile. “I was just checking with Uncle Asta to be sure, and everything is okay. I don’t think anything could break up Uncle Asta and Aunt Noelle. Young Aunt Noelle really, really likes him. I can tell.”

Asta stifled a bit of chuckle at the faint blush of pink that filled Noelle’s cheeks even after all these years.

“I’m sure, your Uncle Asta really liked her too,” suggested Finral, and Kalon nodded.

“He’s just more sneaky about it.”

Vanessa and Charmy could scarcely contain their laughter, and even Grey chuckled quietly to herself, always careful of the sleeping baby in her arms. Noelle glared at them with an almost playful roll-of-her eyes, though she did give a genuinely grateful nod to Finesse who was kind enough not to have laughed though she gave Kalon a gentle smile and pat on the head.

“Please be careful, Kalon,” she said, and Kalon nodded.

“I will—Ooh popsicles! Can I have one Aunt Charmy?”

Charmy shrugged but motioned to one of her sheep to bring Kalon a popsicle. “Do you want one tool, Tirion?” she asked. He smiled and nodded.

“Yes, please.”

When Kalon and Tirion had both run off with their popsicles, Finral wearily took a seat in an empty chair next to Grey and turned apologetically to Asta and Noelle. “Sorry about that. He’s still learning how to use his magic. I don’t think he has messed anything up too badly yet…” His voice trailed as his brow furrowed. “But I guess we wouldn’t really know if he had, right? Since the future would be different…?” He rubbed his temples. “I don’t know…”

Asta shrugged. He didn’t know either and thinking about it too much made his head hurt, but he smiled and reassured Finral, “Don’t worry. I’m sure it’s fine. Besides Noelle and I are pretty solid”—he smiled brightly at his wife—“I don’t think he could break us up.”

“You should worry more about your own relationship” said Noelle with a frown. “If he messes that up, he'll make himself not exist.”

Finral sighed. “That’s what keeps me up at night…”

“I wouldn’t worry about that,” chimed Charmy with a shake of her head. “If she was going to settle for you once, she’d definitely do it again.”

Noelle snorted a laugh, and Finesse gasped, covering her mouth with her hand while Vanessa scolded, “Charmy!” She huffed but rolled her eyes with an almost playful affection before turning to Finral, “Don’t listen to her. You’ve got nothing to worry about.”

“And you should take advantage of the time you have to catch up on some sleep,” teased Lorelei Legolant. “You’ll have a baby keeping you up all night pretty soon.”

“The baby’s keeping me up now,” sighed Finral wearily, running his hand through his hair. “Not to mention all the nieces and nephews…”

“I wish you wouldn’t worry so much, especially about us,” Finesse said.

Vanessa comfortingly patted his arm. “You worry too much. It’s not going to help and will only end up hurting you, you know? You’re going to make yourself sick.”

“I know. But really—how are all of you? Can I get anyone anything? Noelle is there—?”

“Asta is taking very good care of Noelle and he and Nozel have cornered the market on worrying about her,” interrupted Vanessa. “Honestly, they’re about as fussy over her as you and Langris are over Finesse.”

Finral sighed. “I really am sorry about that…”

“Here, sit down and drink this,” said Charmy, handing him some water with a colorful straw. “You look awful.”

“Thanks Charmy,” he muttered sarcastically before running his hand through his hair.

“You look tired,” Vanessa corrected. “Did you sleep at all last night?”

Finral sighed and rubbed the back of his neck with a yawn. “Around 2:30, Kalon completely kicked me out of bed—literally. I couldn’t get back to sleep after that.”

“It’s probably karma,” quipped Charmy.

Vanessa rolled her eyes before she patted Finral’s back. “Maybe you should go take a nap. There’s plenty of adults around to keep an eye on the kids.”

“I don’t need—” His protest was cut off by a yawn, and Vanessa blinked at him.

“Please, Finral,” sighed Finesse, and he shrugged his shoulders and conceded.

“Alright, but only if you’re sure it’s not too much trouble.”

With a smile, Vanessa waved her hand at him. “We’ve got this. I mean, we’ve been here all day without any emergencies or injuries.”

“You jinxed it, Vanessa!” huffed Noelle as their long-retired captain made his way up the beach holding his crying daughter, Marceline.

“Charmy, you got any ice back there?” he called as he neared the cabana.

“What happened to her?” asked Noelle in concern, gasping, Asta could only presume at the big, purple bump on her forehead.

“Toshi accidentally hit her in the head when he was trying to split the watermelon.”

Sure enough, there was Gauche running up to the cabana holding a shaking, rattling teacup and saucer which Asta supposed would probably seem very odd to anyone who didn’t know that Toshi Adlai had a bad habit of turning into inanimate objects whenever he got stressed or upset. “Is Marceline okay?” asked Gauche, handing Grey the tea cup as she handed him baby Mira in exchange.

“She’ll be fine,” grunted Yami, taking a towel and a block of ice from Charmy and pressing it to his daughter’s forehead. He turned to Marceline who stared at him with teary blue eyes. “You’re okay,” he reassured her. Marceline sniffled but nodded.

“Is Toshi okay?” asked Asta turning to Grey who shrugged her shoulders as the teacup rattled in her hands.

“Everyone knows it was an accident,” said Gauche shaking his head as he rocked the baby. “You don’t have to get all upset about it.”

“I didn’t…mean to…Dad…” cried a particularly weepy Toshi Adlai as he transformed back into a little boy caught in a hug by his mother. “Marceline, I’m so sorry!”

Crossing her tiny arms, Marceline wrinkled her nose and frowned at him. “You’re a moron.”

Most of Asta’s companions began to stifle laughs, and even the former Captain Yami struggled to hold back a grin as he grunted, “That wasn’t nice.”

“But you say it all the time, Dad…” Marceline argued causing most of her aunts and uncles to burst out laughing. Before Yami could scramble to salvage the situation, Toshi started to cry harder.

“No. No, Toshi, it’s okay,” soothed Grey patting his head comfortingly, before he turned into a butter dish. “Gauche!” she called turning to her husband in concern.

Gauche, however, just let out a long weary sigh. “Just leave him. He’ll be fine.”

“Is Marceline, okay?” interjected Nacht as he appeared in the doorway to the cabana with Zora who practically beamed as he turned to Gauche.

“Your son’s got one hell of an arm.”

“Swear jar.” Nacht frowned, holding up the colorfully decorated swear jar Gordon had made. Huffing, Zora dug through his pocket for some spare Yul and dropped two coins into the jar. Despite this only being the second day of their trip, it sounded pretty full to Asta.

“What are we going to do with the swear jar money when it’s full?” asked Zora with a bitter shake of his head.

“We could buy a cake,” Charmy suggested.

Noelle’s eyes narrowed. “It’s supposed to be a punishment.”

“Okay well, you can buy me a cake and watch me eat it.” Charmy hummed thoughtfully, and Noelle huffed.

“What if we gave it to charity?” asked Asta. “To an orphanage maybe?”

“Good idea, Asta.” Finral smiled at him but yawned and tiredly rubbed his eyes. “Sorry…”

“You still need that nap,” said Vanessa with a light, good-natured chuckle.

Finral sighed. “Eh, I’ll sleep when the kids are grown up and out of the house.”

“That’s gonna be awhile,” said Yami dryly as Charmy and Zora didn’t even try to hide her snickering. Before anyone could protest, however, Licita came running up the beach with a somewhat panicked Liebe in tow, now at his full height trying to catch up with her

“Mama! Mama! Mama!” she yelled, excitedly grabbing Noelle’s hand and pulling her towards the door. “My sandcastle is done! Come see! Come see!”

“Okay. Okay. Just a second,” said Noelle with a smile. Asta knew that Noelle would have probably been the first to admit it was getting harder and harder for her to get around quickly now that she was nearing the end of her pregnancy so he offered her his arm. “Thanks,” she mumbled as she stood up from her seat with a glance towards Al to see if she had accidentally woken him. Asta stifled a chuckle. His nephew really could sleep through anything and had barely stirred despite all the commotion. Kai, however, was beginning to fidget and yawned before Asta laid him down on the chair and Noelle tucked him in gently with a nearby beach towel asking if their friends wouldn’t mind keeping an eye on him for a minute.

With Asta’s hand in one hand and Noelle’s in the other, Licita led her mother and father towards the sandcastle village. Katsu and Lia were still hard at work on theirs, and Anni and Rill appeared to be making a moat or trench of some kind.

“This is mine, Mama!” said Licita triumphantly as she began pointing out her sandcastle. “It’s really for Uncle Liebe, but it has rooms for everybody! You and Dad and me and Kai, but all the aunts and uncles too and the cousins can all play together right here.” She pointed to one of the mounds of sand. “And there’s a big kitchen for Aunt Charmy and Anni and Rye, and this is where Uncle Gordon and Uncle Gauche and Aunt Nene can show me and Narah and Genevieve how to do crafts. And over here we can play hide and seek with Toshi and Kalon and Summer and Uncle Finral and Aunt Grey. And there’s lots of shelves with books for Uncle Nozel to read to me and Al and Adler and Acier. And there’s a really big yard where Uncle Magna and Uncle Luck and Uncle Zora can show us how to play really fun games. And here’s a fireplace where Uncle Yami can tell us all stories if Katsu and Hana and Marceline ask him to. It’s big enough for the whole family! Do you like it?” Licita turned back towards them with the brightest, beaming smile, but her little brow furrowed as she tilted her head in concern. “What’s the matter, Mama?”

Asta turned to Noelle to find her wiping glistening tears from the corners of her eyes. She sniffled but reassured Licita, “Nothing. It’s okay. I’m just”—her face softened into a gentle smile—“really happy.” Asta took her hand and gave it an affectionate squeeze. He knew without the look she gave him that the tears were mainly a result of the pregnancy wreaking havoc on her mood, but he also knew what it meant to her to see their daughter’s sandcastle, thoughtfully made big enough for her whole family, a family that, at Licita’s age, Noelle could have only dreamed of. How much it meant to her to know that Licita would get to grow up surrounded by a whole group of people who loved her and would have everything that Noelle never got to have before joining up with the Black Bulls.

“I love it!” said Noelle as she scooped up a giggling Licita in her arms.

“Do you want to help me build more of it, Mama?”

Noelle beamed at her. “Of course. Maybe a nice nest for your Aunt Secre, hm?”

As Licita cheerfully prattled about Aunt Secre’s nest, Asta watched as Noelle glanced from the sandcastle, to the cabana filled with cheerful chattering and laughter of their former squad mates, to all of the happy children, their beloved nieces and nephews, running up the beach or splashing around in the water. She smiled, and as she turned to look at him now, no words were needed. He understood—knew Noelle must feel it too, that warm, safe feeling as if everything that had come before, all the sadness, loneliness and pain of the past was just a distant memory now. They were finally home.
