You were never the athletic type of person but when it comes to Paige begging you to participate in her antics, you can't ever deny her. If it made her happy, you'd be down to do whatever.

"Alright that's enough of taunting me, you're a professional! It's just the inevitable" you sighed watching her dribble the ball with ease toward your feet.

"Aw don't sound so defeated mama, you just gotta get your skill game right" she stated in a confident tone. Her face twisted up into a sly smirk. Those "skills" she yapped about were far too out of your reach, but not because you didn't learn them, Paige just had a horrible way of teaching you them, at least in your defense she did.

"Well maybeee if you had enough patience to properly teaching me these amazing skills, I could probably beat you-"

Your statement laced with attitude was halted as you felt the strong impact of a basketball hitting your back. Spinning around on your feet nearly losing your balance from the unexpected force, who was no other than KK.

"DID I SCARE YOU POOKIE?!" She laughed pulling you into a tight hug. You solo forget about the stinging sensation you felt on your back. You absolutely adored KK but in all honesty, who doesn't??? Her energy always remains unmatched and unhinged.

"Not really but you definitely got stronger during this offseason cause that hit was low-key a little strong" You pulled back from the hug tugging at her arms in amusement.

"Girl boo now you're just yapping" She put your hand in your face dramatically and turned to Paige who was unimpressed by the conversation. "Fix your face Bueckers you know you're happy to be in my presence" she beamed twirling her twists in her face. "Why y'all are in here anyways ? Looking all sour-faced?"

You giggle at KK's words "Nothing much, just another day of me getting beat in a matchup by yours truly" you shrug nudging Paige in her side.

"Don't let her fool you, girl, she just likes to win at everything- she's not THAT good" The strong empahsis in her tone made a light bulb go off in your head.

"Now why are going to sit here and lie??" Paige questioned laughing at the statement. The two of them hardly ever took each other seriously, especially when it came to competition. "Baby the proof is in the pudding! Let me teach your girl how to win the right way" KK dramatically pushed Paige to the sidelines, flcking her forehead before running off towards you in pursuit, praying she wouldn't run after her.

"Woww I'm gonna get trained by the infamous KK Arnold, I'm so exciteddd" she giggled patting her shoulder playfully. Paige glared at the two of you with an unamused expression plastered on her face.

Kk cackled at the sight "Okay so boom we're just gonna ignore the big bear being mad over there, let me show you how a real one does it" dribbling the ball in between her legs swiftly, taking a smooth step back from the 3 point line, shooting the ball with her right hand, it drains into the net with ease. "BOOM! short, sweet, and simple" she beamed looking back at you.

You grabbed the ball attempting to mimic her dribbling skills but failed miserably. "Yeah, we're gonna need a little more practice I fear.." you said trailing off into uncertainty.

ꨄꨄꨄꨄꨄ

For the next 30 minutes, you and KK practiced dribbling and shooting the ball like your lives depended on it. You had become too engrossed with learning these skills, you failed to realize Paige had left the gym for god knows how long.

"I think I'm top 5 in the rankings now KK" you breathed out, "I gotta go find Paige".

"OH I know you are, don't forget to mention me when you win that Emmy award" she winked at me holding back her laughter. "Have fun tryna find P boogers"

How unserious can one human possibly be? because you were 100% certain she fit all the criteria for it. Shaking your head at your antics you gathered your purse and keys, dropping the basketball back on the rack, and headed out into the seemingly cold hallways of the facility. You thought you'd find her in the training room chilling but to your surprise, she was nowhere to be found.

Sighing to yourself, you pulled out your phone

𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 "𝐏𝐚𝐢𝐠𝐞💜".......

"Oh! Are you done practicing with your partner for the final 4?  Done so soon?" her voice swarmed with annoyance.

"What happened to hello?, why are you being so rude about it we were all just having fun"  Confusion roamed throughout your mind, she never acted like this towards you.

The line went silent.

"Paige? hello?'

"We must have two different definitions of the term rude considering the fact that you didn't even care to notice that I left" her voice echoed from behind you. Swiftly turning around you saw her leaning in the doorway. Her cheeks flushed as if someone sliced the color out of them. She was livid.

"Paige it was all fun and gamessss" you whined hopelessly, "I was just preparing to get my payback for you beating me- "You stopped yourself mid-sentence as the awareness of her irritation wasn't irritation at all. "Aw P are you jealous??" you questioned as your face turned up into a smirk.

She kissed her teeth in annoyance "I'm not jealous y/n... be so fr right now" she scoffed.

"Yesss you are! There's no way you'd be upset over me trying to learn the sport that you love" you poked at her face laughing "You just want me to give you allll the attention hm?" cocking your head looking up at her, you knew you were right, but she'd never admit to it.

"Now you're just chatting" shaking her head in disbelief, playfully mushing your face.

"Your pride is too big for you to admit that your jealousy got the best of you babe, happens to the best of us I suppose"  Resting your head on her chest you smiling to yourself, you had her hooked. "Since you're so jealous I guess I'll go get Canes by myself, wouldn't wanna focus my attention on bringing someone else with me"

"Nah never that! I'm ready to go right now" she shot back at you as she lifted you up into her arms easily, a little too easy for your liking. You never understood how someone so small was able to lift weight like it's thin air.

"Mhm, that's what I thought" you emersed, softly kissing her temple.

okay pookies!! I’m in a writers slump so I’m going to pop off some mini blurbs with Instagram links<3 because the words are not being written correctly for my wips [cries]🎀✨

Simon “Ghost” Riley

playing with his cat

admittedly, Simon is up at odd hours from bouts of insomnia. it doesn’t really bother him when his cat is up too, sitting in bed and flipping him around. it’s cute, more so funny when he flips his cat off and gets pounced on, not taking it seriously - one of the rare times he’ll let chuckle and crack a smile to himself

John Price:

pranking Price by telling him your tampon is stuck

John comes as soon as you call for him - what he wasn’t expecting was you telling him your tampons stuck. but John’s smart, he sees your phone in his peripheral and doesn’t say anything about it. he knows your pranking him, if it wasn’t obvious from your phone recording him and the way you giggle, well, “I know you’re cycle, love.”

driving around to see Christmas lights

John loves his dog, just a sweetheart. one thing his dog loves is seeing Christmas lights - John doesn’t really know why, but he’s more than happy to drive around so his puppy can see them all. it makes him chuckle seeing their tail wag, heater keeping the car nice and warm as they drive down a couple blocks

John “Soap” MacTavish:

bear hugging Johnny

you didn’t really know what Johnny was doing, you just knew you wanted to hug him. it’s out of the blue, catches him off guard in a way that has him asking if you’re okay - and you are. he doesn’t waste time, moving to scoop you up, hold you close and goof around. he had been organizing your books, just a little surprise

asking Recruiter!Johnny questions

Johnny didn’t want to be stuck recruiting people, but he somehow got picked to do it. what he wasn’t expecting was your question, “Are you hot?”. he wants to sputter out, try to be slick - respond with a, “Well, you can come find out.”, but he stops himself. he knows he’ll be telling the 141 about this, chest puffed up and a lopsided smile as he brags

showing off for the neighbors

Johnny is springy and flexible, his ass can dance. if you catch him while he’s on a jog he’ll flag you down and start flipping around. he’s a show off, it goes to his head how the neighborhood moms watch him. his show is for you, but he won’t turn down the ego boost he gets from others eyeing him up

“you know where the matter daddy is?”

Johnny’s a menace when it comes to the 141, calling Gaz for ‘help’. he can barely get the opener out without laughing, hitting the punchline takes a hot minute. Gaz can hear him sputtering on the other side, little bursts of laughter leaving him. it’s amazing that Gaz falls for the joke at all, Johnny laughing harder as he grips his phone

König:

playing with his cat

does König talk to his pretty kitty in German? of course he does, and he’ll goof around with them too. his favorite thing is pretend dialing on his cat’s toe beans. he’ll pretend to meow for his cat and voice the person ‘on the line’. totally straight faced, he takes business calls with his kitty very seriously

parenting his cat

sometimes being a parent is having human children, other times it’s cradling your baby kitty in your shirt while you make lunch. König is the latter, and he’ll always say how easy it is to be a parent. “Ja, she is a little thing. Here, I have photos—”, he carries printed photos of her in his wallet to show off, his favorite is of her swaddled in bed with her favorite blankie

walking his cat

König likes getting out, it’s natural for him. it gets a little lonely sometimes though… and boy is excited when he learns cat harnesses exist. weather permitting, he enjoys going on walks with his cat. sure, his kitty might wander into a bush here and there, but König will get them out before trailing down the block

May I humbly introduce my first Redacted OC…

Andromeda the First Fear Demon

She was so beautifully brought to visual life by my darling dearest @pycth thank you so much for giving her all this beauty and for propagandizing me to make an OC in the first place

NOW FOR LORE AND FUN FACTS ABOUT THIS SPOOKY LADYYYY

-She’s the fourth demon ever formed so she’s been around the block a while

-She quite likes her fellow demons and has decent relationships with them (we’ll get to a few later)

-She struggled a long time with how the sovereigns made her and that she was forced to feed on fear when she first coalesced

-After the Cacophony she left Aria pretty quickly and rarely goes back, she prefers Elegy much more

-She genuinely used to feel bad about needing fear to survive until she learned humans seek out fear for fun, examples: Halloween, Horror stories, adrenaline junkies, haunted houses and so on

-Most ghost stories you’ve heard were probably a fear demon having some fun, some were definitely her

-She has a black cat named Felis, the feline constellation, he’s the only animal that has come near her in her entire life

-She can play a mean church organ

-She performed at a circus for a while, as a sword swallower, then moved on to performing at an empowered club

-She’s in a romantic relationship, with who? You’ll have to wait and see

Anywho that’s enough on her for now so enjoy these THUMBNAILSSSSS also made by my darling Pycth

I will for sure talk about her again thats my pookie bear

Sharkie 🦈

Soul Evans x Black reader

So, everyone has a unique thing about them Blackstar with his tattoo, Kid having weird ass stripes, Crona pink hair and all in between but what always is cool is how soul unique teeth and eye color sure red eyes are cool and all but shark teeth? Who customized him?? And as his girlfriend you love everything about but his teeth just have more love to them ig...

"Soul my pookie bear you eva cut yourself with those teeth of yours?" asking curiously as you cut him off when he was talking about whatever stupid idea him, and Star had.

" First off, not cool to cut off somebody and second when I was a kid it wasn't cool to start bleeding because your own teeth cut your mouth." So sassy...

" But like you know it my favorite part about you ya'know" you said as you get from your set to grab something to drink, Soul nods and then thinks... his teeth out of all his cool personality traits his teeth are your favorite?

" Why my teeth like it not that cool? I got a motorcycle AND I'm like super chill and laid back, like I'm the coolest dude in the school and my teeth is our favorite thing?

You tap your chin looking him over and nod confirming, listen Soul has a lot of things girls would think is cool but think about when you first met him, he seemed pretty dorky.

+ Flashbackkkkk +

' It's hotter than a mothafucka!' I think looking up at the blazing sun laughing his hot rays of heat onto my skin, my meister/ weapon is already breathing heavy, sweating, overall, just miserable. Getting accepted into one of the best weapon/ meister academy is like getting an invite to the grammies once and a lifetime and we were very under dress, being from the south myself this heat was not even trying to spare us ( Glorilla come to mf front!)

Making it to the top of the stair s we both fall to ground

" FINALLY! THANK GAWD" my meister/ weapon Coco (omg who??) said in complete anguish as I hold my knees trying to breath correctly when a girl in pigtail and a dude with spikey hair, a tall ass girl with a ponytail, two twins and a black and white dude comes up to us

" Hi! Welcome to the DWMA, I'm Mak-"

" Girl hold on! Don't you see we finna die right now!?"

" Coco! Don't- Don't be rude!" you say scolding your weapon/ meister for rude to them greeters, you smile at the Maka girl and introduce yourself, " Hi, my names y/n and that's Coco don't worry about her attitude right now, she tired"

" Tired is a understate girl, YOU SAID WE WAS GETTING CHAFFURED HERE!"

" And we did he drove us here all we had to do was walk?"

" Walk my ass we got cooked trying to learn y/n'

Rolling my eyes I ignore Coco complaints and ask about everyone names, one of the twins excitedly introduces herself as Patty and her sister Liz and the guy next to them is Kid, who names they child Kid?? The tall girl introduced herself as Tsubaki and talks about this Blackstar dude who to me seems to be invisible but never mind that and lastly the guy with spike hair said his name is Soul, Like I said Kid and Soul like emo is an understatement. Maka asks about what weapon class are we and we say we're a part of a man named Professor Stein class right now, she says we're in their class and we start walking into the school.

" Coco girl we made itt" We both squeal together holding hands in awe of how big the school is and listening to the group talk about how the DWMA works and what the classes do, when Soul starts talking I notice pointy things in his mouth and I squint my eyes and poke Coco to pay attention, Coco looks at me and him and starts looking too and the rudest things she did points it out

" What are you staring at him for? You think he cute or som- OW!

" Thats what you get for being rude I'm telling to pay attention instead of looking at the mirror" I say calming and he just smirks, HE HAS SHARK TEETH! Gasping I tell Coco to look, and she stares and gasps back

" OMG! Your like some of those shark people! Like off of Naruto"

" I was thinking more off of Spongebob the dude who was trying to Kill Spongebob?"

The excited twin blurts out his name and we look it up agreeing, he rolls his eyes and checks Coco back calling out her being tired after walking up some stairs

" OH! Well excuse me y/n? He insulted me!"

" You said he looks like he off spongebob I'd do the same thing"

" Nuh uh! I said his teeth!"

It's been about three months since our first day at the DWMA and things been pretty cool besides us having a run in with a demon sword and Soul almost bleeding out the school been cool, and we've gained some friends and some enemies, but I think I've been gaining more than a friend with one of the group members; Soul and I have been talking a lot 1-on-1 about random things and every time we part ways I run to Coco giggling about every little thing like when we took a ride on his motorcycle and we had like an almost unofficial official date and when he got my a copy of his headband but with my name and all things I like on there. Coco keeps telling me to confess and all but what if he doesn't like me like that? Like I know I'm a bad bitch but what if I'm not a baddie but a baddie that happens to be his friend? I constantly think about that, and it's put on a tiny strain on me and Soul's relationship.

Today Soul texted me about meeting up for a casual hangout away from the group and for the past ten minutes me and Coco looking for outfits and we found the perfect outfit, after fixing my hair and doing a 5-minute face Soul texts me he's outside. Getting out my dorm there he is checking his phone, and he smirks saying I took long enough, and we ride to our regular spot an arcade with a lot of pinball machines and fair games, hours of fun later we landed ourselves walking around Death City, our conversation switching from things like classes to missions to even crushes.

" So, you got a crush on anyone?" Soul asks and I laugh it off saying not really, walking in silence I look up to Soul staring at me a bit

" What?" I say giggling and he chuckles a bit saying I'm very giddy today which isn't out of the usual, but he wants to know why.

" Well I started to think I mayyy have a crush a somebody" He gets silent but still asks who.

" Well, he pretty funny, cool hair a bit, got a nice voice and -"

" KID! The guy with stripes is your crush!?"

" NO!"

" Oh- continue" turning his head away from my face and I laugh it off his concerned tone and continuted listing all the qualities this crush of mines has

" Oh! and he's pretty dorky always saying cool and walking funny it almost like he trying to impress someone " with my eyes landing onto him with each word his red eyes largen and he asks is it him and with a smile I nod and grab his hand as he gloats on how he knew all along and in his words ' Wanted you to confess first' yeah right...

" So, what do you think he seems pretty nice huh?" He smirks and wraps an arms around my shoulder and nods, walking me to dorm and leaving with a kiss a cheek.

+ Flashback over +

Laughing a bit at the memory of how we met I slide over to Soul who now playing some videogame and sit beside him playing with his hair and watching him play, " You were pretty dorky when we started dating" I comment poking his cheek and he groans at the memory telling him to never remind of his "uncool" actions again. Talking about he couldnt beileve still how his best attrabute to me is his teeth.

" Well it ain't your style"

" I have great style! This is the epitomy of the best fashion sense"

" A leather jacket isnt fashion Soul"

" Who says? YOU? Wearing navy in the summer?"

Gasping at his diss to my last date outfit I hit him over the head with a pillow repeatdly telling him to take it back, after a pillow and a quick talk about our favorite things about eachother I began to think of one last question, Did Soul the self proclaimed coolest dude alive BITE someone?

" Hey I got one more question"

" Yes, in the pool as a kid I'd act like a shark"

" um... thank you for that confession but I didn't say that

" oh... then no I didn't act like a vampire-"

" Did you ever bite someone"

... Complete silence as Soul stared at me weirdly and tried to run away from the question and being yourself you obviously tried to pry it out of him

" Cmonnn it's not that bad! Coco even did it!"

" Coco has the brain of a rabid animal so it checks out"

And for the past 10 minutes you ask crazy question and all Soul doesn't is gives you a look or ask you the same question. And Maka sitting in her room a few feet over thinks about telling you about the time when soul bit Blackstars ankle during a fight... but that for another time

Domestic pre-outbreak!joel /no outbreak!joel hc's bc I can't stop thinking about my lil pookie bear

He loves whenever you take the time to make meals for him and sarah because he's always so busy and never has time to make anything. Not to mention his cooking skills aren't exactly the best, so its a godsend once you and him move in together and you start cooking for your man. For once in his life he consistently goes to work without bringing some shitty sandwich or getting fast food for lunch, and sometimes you'll even throw in a cute little note (or maybe not so cute 😈) that'll have him blushing for the rest of the day. You eventually start getting really good at packing him and Sarah's lunches, and she loves the adorable notes you leave for her and cute animal tooth picks you give her for her fruit. If you have extra time you'll even cut her food into cute little shapes or have a themed lunch like a bunny-shaped sandwich and fruits cut into flowers. If you have leftovers you give them to Joel and he opens it wanting to cry knowing that you put so much effort into making his little girl the cutest lunches. Sometimes his other crew members will notice his lunches with little rice panda bears or other cute things and they'll give him shit for it but it just makes him feel even luckier to be with someone like you.

One time he opens his lunch and finds a particularly spicy note and he has a hard on for the rest of the day :) and then he rushes through his tasks after lunch so he can get home to you faster and rail the shit out of you :)

One day you're in his car looking in his glovebox for something and you find all of the notes you've written him for his lunches, and he tells you he likes to keep all of them to read them especially if he's having a bad day or a hard time at work and needs to get through the day.

Even though he may not be the best cook (aside from a mean mac n cheese or fried chicken) he definitely beats you at grilling. No one makes brisket or steak as good as he does, as a Texan dad it's in his blood.

Although he always gets home tired after a long day of work, you're always there to greet him by running up to him and attacking him with kisses, saying "I missed you so much" and more often than not you'll already have dinner prepared, and he finally gets the time to sit down with you and his daughter for dinner most days of the week and you get to spend some quality time as a family.

Every time he sees you interact with Sarah he's so happy that you're such a great mom to her, he can't think of anyone better to take care of his baby girl

Sarah becomes your little helper when you cook or bake sometimes, and Joel will walk into the kitchen seeing you two giggling as you're making some brownies or some other dessert that Sarah requested, and you can never say no to her cute little face. Every time you go to prepare something she always says she wants to help, and she loves learning from you because you're such a patient teacher.

Sometimes you and Sarah like to let Joel sleep in more than usual on the weekends to give his body some rest after a long week a work, and you'll make him breakfast in bed. He pretends not to hear Sarah giggling as you two walk into your room and “surprise” him with a tray of an elaborate breakfast, and you tell him Sarah did such a great job helping make his coffee and pancakes.

The way this ended up being mostly about food was not planned haha but you know what they say, a key to a man's heart is through his stomach ;) and who wouldn't want to cook and bake for this man, no wonder he's always feeling like shit he never has any time or money to make nutritious meals for himself :(

𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐘 𝐌𝐄 𝐀 𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐆, 𝐑𝐀𝐃𝐈𝐎 𝐌𝐀𝐍 | c.8

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬: I / II / III / Navi

𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬: hiii pookies! Chaz here, how we doin?!?!!? good? good. here's chapter 8 for yah. writings kinda different cause I'm writing. shh. don't complain /j. bit bear with me on this one yall! like yen, HAPPY READINGS!

"Come in!" called Loralie from inside the store, wiping off the counter as the sound of a bell rung, the two people walking inside the store. she smiled widely. "Ah it's you two! come in, come in. what can i get for you today? some hotcakes? muffins? the usual?"

"black coffee, Lor, and for niftt-" husk was cut off by niffty as she looked through the glass of treats and sweets. "Salmon mousse Canapés! i'd like to try something new" the girl giggled happily, continuing on to look through the glass. "well, uh.. i guess that's for hers.

Loralie smiles and nods, scribbling down the orders. "Alright, one black coffees and a salmon mousse canapé. That'll be ready in a few minutes. You two are welcome to sit down while you wait.." She gestures to a nearby table as she gets started on the order. "any gossip today? nif?" Loralie turned to niftty after handing out the order to her co-worker.

"no.. not much, well.. Al has quite focused on his broadcast nowadays, i mean it's not new but, I'm pretty sure he's still looking out for that 'Daisy' girl" Niftty spoke, walking over to the side of the counter. "Daisy.. Huh?.." Loralie grinned, packing up the orders slowly as she listened in. "Yeah!.. daisy, the one that always calls his station.. I heard he asked her out on a date but she didn't come!" Husk appeared behind niftty as she spoke. "That was actually true, That dumbass came to my bar the other week, complaining about his fucking love life" Husk groaned, rolling his eyes, grabbing the order from Loralie.

"i think i know a thing or two about.. Daisy" Loralie grinned, leaning over the counter to tell the two, in which they listened.

ೀ.ᐟ⭒๋࣭

"And then!- Y/n was so worried to face you that day so she didn't went as daisy which is kind of an idiotic move for me, but then you spent the night with her at the park. so you technically did go on a date with daisy but technically didn't because y/n is daisy, and daisy is y/n, also made me wonder wh-" husk pressed a hand over niftty's mouth, sighing. "he gets the idea, nif.."

the two looked at Alastor who has a slightly shocked reaction on his face. sitting blankly on his desk as muffled songs played in the background. "i don't.. know if i should be angry.. or.. anxious.. or glad.." he looked at his feet, running fingers through his hair as he sighed deeply. "Al, Sorry you had to find out this way... i mean- it would have been more meaningful if you know.. it came from her." niftty approached Alastor along with Husk beside her, she softly place a hand on his shoulder.

Alastor leaned back at his chair, closing his eyes as he huffed deeply. Alastor lets out a deep sigh, running a hand through his hair once as he tries to process what he's just learned. He feels a mix of emotions coursing through him - anger, hurt, confusion, but also a strange sense of calmness. He looks up at Niffty and Husk, his eyes full of a deep sadness.

"I understand why y/n did what she did, but I can't help but feel betrayed," he says, his voice heavy with emotion. "She knew how I felt about her, how much I cared for her, and yet she chose to deceive me in this way." He shakes his head, looking down at his desk again. "I don't know how I'm supposed to feel right now.. i think i need to be alone for a moment.." the two nodded at his words, leaving his room for him to contemplate for a moment.

He sat silently, playing another song for his audience. he softly chuckled at the mishap. "Daisy.. daisy.." he repeated. after a few moments, the song slowly ended, the telephone rang. in an instant he picked it up. "Good Afternoon again, Alastor" Alastor grinned, leaning back on his chair. "Good Afternoon to you too.. Ms. Daisy, the usual songs, i sense?" He chuckled. Playing her requested song. after that, he stopped speaking over the mic, talking to her personality, he spoke once more. "Could i perhaps.. I don't know.. maybe ask you out, Ms. Daisy?.."

ೀ.ᐟ⭒๋࣭

Alastor waited at the same park, spending the same hours as he did, waiting for 'Daisy', till then, he felt a presence of someone sitting next to him. "Hello.. Alastor, How are you tonight, Still waiting for.. Daisy?" He turned to look at you, his smile widened, playing along. "Unfortunately.. Yes"

Alastor chuckles, feeling a warm sensation in his chest as he looks at you. "Well, it seems that Ms. Daisy has decided to let me down again tonight. But that just means that I'll be able to enjoy the company of someone else." He turned to look at you once again. his eyes staring at you deeply. you let out a soft chuckle at his words. "So, Y/n, My Dear. What are you doing here in the park anyway?" he softly spoke.

"Just wanted to take a quick stroll, the night is quite lovely, isn't it?" He nodded, Alastor smiled, looking deep into your eyes as he spoke. "Yes, it is a lovely night. And yet, somehow I feel as though there's something missing." He sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I suppose the lack of Daisy is a little bit of a damper." He placed a hand over yours. "Either way, i shouldn't be sorrowful, it's a wonderous, that shouldn't be wasted, don't you think? Now, Would you do me the honor of being my company for the night?" he held out his hand.

ೀ.ᐟ⭒๋࣭

"You're really fucked up, Al.." Husk walked over to him. standing beside Alastor as he looked at the other side of the lake. Smiling, the wind flowed. as he chuckled. "Say what you want, palx he shrugged. leaning against the railing of the balcony.

"A goddamn house?.. are you serious? just to see her apartment?" Husk rubbed his temple. "All for a fucking girl?" he groaned turning to Alastor.

"A girl I care for very deeply," Alastor replies, his voice slightly raised. He stands up, towering over Husk as he glares down at him. "A girl who I would do anything for," he continues, his voice growing more emotional as he speaks. "And if I want to spend a few nights in this house just to see her place right before me while i open my eyes, then that's exactly what I'll do." He gripped at the railings, staring at lights of your apartment.

"I'd climb the highest mountain if she wanted me to, swim the deepest trenches if she pleases, take a shot through the heart if she asks me to." he smiled to himself. staring down at the flowing water.

"I'll stand by her whenever i can, suffer in the distance in sakes to keep her happy. more than anything. I'll be there, even if she doesn't know i am, I'll be glad that i was.. in the moment, just right behind her."

Husk nodded, staring in the distance too, lighting a cigarette, placing it on his mouth as he did so. taking a puff. Alastor smiled, his eyes closing as he listened to the sound of water hitting the shore. He took a deep breath, feeling a sense of calmness wash over him. "You are a great person, Husk," he said, opening his eyes and turning to look at him. "You may not understand why I do what I do, but you are still there to support me, and I appreciate that more than you could ever know." He reached out and placed a hand on Husk's shoulder, squeezing it softly.

"Hey, what ever fucked up thing you got over your head. I'm still here.. I'm stuck with ya anyway" he chuckled, taking another hit of his cigarette. Alastor turned to look at your apartment. "Hey Husker, do you want to come with tomorrow?" Husk raised a brow. "What for?"

"I'd like to go on a quick.. shopping" He smiled. chuckling softly as looked at you apartment once more.

⭐️ THUNDERBOLTS TEASER TRAILER THOUGHTS ⭐️

—

IT’S QUEEN HERE AND GUYS GUYS GUYS GUESS WHAT. THE TEASER TRAILER FOR MARVEL STUDIOS’ THUNDERBOLTS IS HERE!!

Okay guys I won’t lie, I AM A HUGE SEBASTIAN STAN FAN SO THE WHOLE TIME I WAS FOCUSED ON BUCKY BARNES BUT BUT I HAVE A FEW THINGS TO SAY I SWEAR.

THIS TRAILER WAS SO GOOD. Let’s start off with Yelena’s line in the beginning. “There is something wrong with me, an emptiness. I’m just drifting, and I don’t have purpose.” THIS LINE like damn girl i feel the same. 😞☝️As Yelena says this line we get glimpses of John Walker, BUCKY BARNES💜 and Yelena. I feel like that sentence resonates with all three characters. We see that John feels hopeless, like he has no purpose as he scrolls through an article about him on his device. Each scene he’s in, it’s like he’s questioning his life decisions. Then there’s Bucky who is walking through a court room or something I have no clue what’s happening there BUT DAMN SEBASTIAN STAN IS LOOKING GOOD. (Come here pookie bear…🤤🫶)

So the next scene Yelena walks into this room with like stuff, it seems like she’s looking for something. Then she gets thrown off by John Walker, who shoots at her multiple times. They have a little tussle but then John gets pushed by someone else. Now here comes a few masked people who attack them BUT JOHN IS STILL FOCUSED ON TRYING TO KILL YELENA HELP. The fighting pauses only because they turn around and some guy named Bob is standing there looking like he just escaped a mental asylum. 😭 (honestly i have no clue what’s happening here.)

Asking Yelena, John and everyone else if they were sent by someone, I think this is when we learn this was meant to be a trap. Yelena says this line: “Everyone here has done bad things. Shadow Ops, robbing government labs, contract kills.” With this information and also them being all together as the room locks down—someone wants them gone.

ALRIGHT NEXT SCENE. We are now in a museum it seems like, AND HELLO CALLBACK TO THE FIRST AVENGERS FILM??

THATS LIKE LOKI’S SCEPTER RIGHT? Or like a statue of it? I have no clue I apologise if i’m wrong but STILL—also what’s Bucky planning here… I’m literally so excited to see Bucky again I have been CRAVING MORE BUCKY SCREEN TIME.

AAAAAAAAAA ALSO hello Bob? Are those bullet holes in your mental asylum outfit? What’s going on here… (Idk much about the character Robert Reynolds but I know so far that he’s a Marvel hero named Sentry, so I guess we’ll be learning more about him in MCU Thunderbolts.)

HELP NEXT SCENE BUCKY🫶😭 BUCKY PULLING HIS ARM OUT OF THE DISHWATER HELP ME honestly can’t blame him.🤤 He’s so silly I love him so much.

This movie looks genuinely good and I’m actually super excited. The humour, the action, the cast—I can’t wait to see how it turns out and hopefully it exceeds my expectations.

AND ONE MORE THING.

AAAAAA 🫶 BUCKY ON A MOTORBIKE. BUCKY ON A MOTORBIKE!!! He looks so Scrumdilly scrumptious 🤤😏💜

— Queen.

ch 1. – sweet nothing

ch 0. – sunday morning / masterlist / ch. 2 — jumpscare!

note: this chapter contains mixed media (written + texts), 1.2k wc! it’s also about a year timeskip from chapter 0!

synopsis: writing songs about the fling that broke your heart catapults your band into fame. unfortunately, his bedroom won't be the last place you see him

ALTERNATIVELY — you and atsumu learn to get along for the sake of your best friends.

warnings: suggestive ish jokes

ABOUT 1 YEAR LATER

There's a big smile plastered on your face as you look down at the crowd of jumping fans. The venue is crowded and you’re glad your manager booked one with AC as you feel the cool air from above. You hum the rest of the tone into the mic as Iori starts her solo. compared to everyone else, she’s not as flashy. In fact, she looks like she’s at peace with every strum, almost as if she’s about to sleep. Utahime observes her from behind the drumset with pride while you and Suguru admire her.

As she finishes, you notice a poster with the words ‘MOMMY UTAHIME!’ surrounded by hearts. Iori catches her breath, oblivious to the bouquet of flowers being passed to the front. You grab them for her, speaking into the mic.

“Uta, I think you have some admirers.” 

The crowd cheers and she looks up, carefully grabbing the pink and white bouquet. It's gorgeous, big pink roses blooming over the baby’s breath all wrapped in brown paper. “Looks like someone paid attention to last week’s interview, huh?”

One section of the crowd cheers as you notice a fan jumping with joy. “You gave these to her, didn’t you?”

The girl nods her head. “You have anything to say, Iori?”

You hold the mic up to his mouth. “Thank you,” she responds breathily, “I love and appreciate you!”

Another cheer erupts from the crowd and it fills you with adrenaline. You’re tired. You’ve been tired from the months you’ve been traveling, but this is the last song of the night on the last show of the tour. All of you want to end with a good performance.

“This is the last ever performance for Across the Sea. It's been a great year and I'm really thankful for everyone who’s come out to see us,” you pause, the rush of mixed emotions overtaking your body. You’re going to miss your little adventures, but it also feels nice to be home. “Does anyone have a guess on what our last song is?”

From what you can hear, the crowd chants “Easy Talk,” the song that had gotten your band into the spotlight. Utahime starts playing the beginning guitar riff as Suguru follows with the bassline. Ieiri comes in next, then you.

When you first started performing, you were anxious and noticeably awkward, but with each show, you became more and more explosive. Walking across the stage, singing with your hand on your chest for every line that came from your heart. Talking casually in between songs as if you were with a group of friends–it wasn’t easy as the crowds progressively got bigger. There’s beads of sweat forming on your forehead and falling down your face. Your mascara and your eyeliner were smudged, lipstick faded into a red stain, but you don’t care. Ever since you’ve gained confidence, your performances are raw and natural. It’s the whole appeal of your band.

You’re swaying with them as the music calms, each instrument gradually coming to a close as you continue to sing.

“Thank you for coming, fishies! I love y’all and goodnight!”

All of you wave goodbye before heading backstage where Mika runs up to you with open arms, “I'm sweaty! Stay back!”

“I don't care! You did amazing and I'm so so so proud of you!”

You give into her touch, wrapping your arms around her. on the other hand, Satoru grabs the rest of the band in a big group hug. Iori and Ieiri fail to dodge it, but Suguru doesn’t try, embracing his best friend. “My pookies did so good tonight,” Satoru tears up, “You guys are so talented.”

“For the love of god, stop calling us your pookie bears, Toru!” Iori slaps his arm, “You’re annoying!”

“Well, I guess you’re uninvited to dinner.”

“Don’t be so mean, Satoru,” you grab his arm, pulling him in for a hug, “We’re finally home.”

“Mean? She’s the one being mean to me!”

“Shhh…”

When you look back at the past two years, it’s almost insane when you remember that you graduated with a degree in chemical engineering about a year ago. It’s not that you weren’t exactly disinterested, but more so that you preferred to make music with your friends. 

It just so happened that the right people were at an open mic. And while all of you had decided not to officially sign to a label just yet, Fairy Fishes just… kind of blew up, thanks to the internet. From there, little singles would be released and after a few months of writing and experimentation led by Utahime you had your first album ready by your last semester. It was draining, but also convenient for her assignments in her composition classes. 

A few months before graduation, Fairy Fishes had recognition as an upcoming band. And while everyone could have started working after graduation, going on tour sounded way more fun. The team of newly graduated college students didn’t do too bad in terms of organization and marketing. 

“I missed you, Mika,” you hold her hand, her other on the steering wheel, “And I’m also really fucking hungry.”

“I missed you, too. And I’m also really fucking hungry.”

“So did you invite him?” You squeeze her hand, the side conversation in the backseat immediately coming to a halt.

“Girl, we haven’t even gotten home yet.”

“You’ve been updating us on this mystery guy every week we’ve started on this tour,” Satoru reaches to grab her shoulder, “You know how nosey we are.”

“Plus, we literally told you to invite him to dinner with us once we got back. This is probably the most appropriate time to bring it up.”

“Yes, I invited him to dinner!”

Much to Mika’s annoyance, the van cheers.

Heads turn when everyone walks into the restaurant and it feels… odd. 

Suguru and Satoru love the attention. After all, Satoru models part time and Suguru was a hit on the promotional pictures that Kenma and Tetsu had helped design for the tour. You and the girls, on the other hand, don’t know how to handle it except to follow along with the pair. 

“Don’t worry. My boyfriend reserved a private area for us.”

“Your boyfriend, huh?” 

“Yes, Sho. My boyfriend.”

“We’re excited. Can you blame us?”

Soon enough, the group is seated and all there is left to do is wait for Mika's boyfriend who was kind enough to arrange the whole dinner in the first place. From the window, you see a fancy sports car park in front of the building. That's not him, is it?

When he gets out of the car, you squint at the tall figure walking towards the entrance and while you haven’t formally met him, you do know him. Except, he’s not in his usual uniform. Instead, he’s wearing a graphic tee and a pair of baggy jeans. Still, your mouth is agape as you slowly turn to Mika. Her sly smile lets you know exactly why she’s kept his identity a secret.

“Rin?” Tetsu stands up to greet his old friend, “What are you doing here?”

“I'm here to meet my girl’s friends.”

Everyone collectively turns to a giggling Mika as Rin bends down to kiss her forehead, “You okay?”

“Yes. I'm very okay, baby.”

“She fell in love with you because of the student center banner, by the way!”

“Shut up, Satoru!”

“Really? I hate that picture.”

“Don’t worry, baby, you look good in every picture.”

As the dinner progresses, you decide that you like Rintarou. 

He's definitely head over heels for your best friend, which is exactly what she deserves, but he’s also very respectful. In fact, he seems even a little scared of you, which is even better. But overall, he seems equally as starstruck by everyone at the table. Specifically, you’ve noticed his behavior towards Kenma. It was the slight excitement in his voice whenever they started their own side conversation, the little glances he would steal. At the same time, you could tell he’s holding back a little bit of enthusiasm.

“Rin watches a lot of the Kodzuken streams,” Mika whispers, “He’s a big fan, but he’s scared of everyone thinking he’s a big weirdo.”

“Makes sense.”

By the time dinner is over, Mika has successfully won the fight against Satoru and Rintarou for the check, leaving both men pouting in their seats. Being the PR manager for EJP Raijin was not an easy job, but it definitely pays well. You could tell by the amount of times you’ve seen Rintarou and Komori modeling for a clothing brand, the amount of times they’re mentioned in a sports magazine with their teammates, and their social media presences. In college, Rintarou was everywhere on campus and now, he’s just everywhere in general.

fishy facts!

— satoru has a lot of pr experience via observation since his family's status has turned him into a little microcelebrity (#1 nepo baby). his family's pr manager was losing her shit the week that his bare ass cheeks were trending on twitter.

— tetsu handled a good deal of the fairy fish promotionals! after seeing them gain a ton of streams over time, he knew that doing their marketing could be a temporary job for him. which is why he went on tour with them.

— satoru and kenma saw the tour as a graduation vacation. satoru was already rich and kenma wanted to have fun. he posted a lot of vlogs throughout the summer and still streamed, but the games he streamed were not the usual ones since he preferred to play intense ones at home. instead, it was roblox and phone games (subway surfers was actually a hit).

— shoko was looking for possible proposal and honeymoon spots. she took notes of utahime's opinions in each city that they went to.

— satoru and suguru shared a bed even though they totally did not need to. whenever everyone visited their room, it was always one big bed instead of two twins. everyone thinks that they're secretly dating, but no one wants to bring it up, yet.

Could you do some headcanons for Prussia, Russia, France, Spain, England and Romano with a darling who's trying to learn their native languages, pretty please?

Ofc Pookie bear. 🩷🩷🩷

Darling trying to learn the countries native language

England

Arthur is so used to everyone already knowing English since it’s the most known language in the world, so having a Darling that wasn’t fluent was a very new experience for him.

Arthur is a dad at heart a dysfunctional one but that’s something for another day. He’ll print off those worksheets that make you write the cursive alphabet and spell different words as a fun activity. Arthur will also try and include reading, movie nights, and listening to music to boost his darling’s fluency.

Arthur will sit his darling in his lap while he reads one page to her and she reads the next as they alternate.

As mentioned before he’s an awkward dad at heart who’s trying to do his best to help.

7/10 for effort in his teaching skills

France

Francis will be very flattered that his darling has decided to learn his language. He’ll try to expose his darling to lots of French media and tv shows to accustom her to the language.

Francis will be whipping out the old children’s books and lullabies he used to use for Matthew and read them to his darling. The children’s books are easy to follow and simple for beginners to understand.

He’s not the best teacher his he’d rather just kiss his darling and murmur the sweet French into her ear instead of explaining it.

Be prepared to receive lots and lots of texts and letter in French. Francis will be declaring his love to his darling at 3am. These messages will be so long that they have the read more button at the bottom to click to see it in full.

Francis gets a 0/10 since I would get into a fight with him any day.

Prussia

Gilbert was immediately very supportive of the idea. He attempts to try and talk to his darling only in German but he has a bad habit of speaking in English so it doesn’t come naturally.

He attempts to show his darling german tv shows… but Germany is notorious for dubbing over them in every language possible. Gilbert could find every one besides the ones in german…

He keeps attempting to teach you until he gives up and asks Ludwig to come over and teach you. Ludwig is a strict and thorough teacher and Gilbert’s darling will definitely be fluent by the end of a few sessions.

4/10 Gilbert tried his best, okay?

Romano

Lovino loves his darling and his language… but he’s a terrible teacher. He has a short temper, doesn’t explain assignments, and is confused when his darling doesn’t understand things he finds simple.

He tries for a few week to teach his darling with no results. Eventually he makes his darling download duolingo and he pays for premium so she can learn faster.

Lovino will occasionally quiz his darling and check in on her progress.

2/10 Lovino is doing his best which isn’t that good. Still better than Francis though.

Russia

Ivan is a sweet guy to his darling 24/7 so when she decides to learn Russian he’s over the moon. He’s booking them a trip to St. Petersburg and taking his darling on a full tour.

He’s as calm and patient as possible with his darling while teaching. Ivan accidentally distracts his darling with his accent since she finds him a little bit too sexy to keep focus on learning.

Ivan’s teaching method is easy enough to follow and he goes all out getting lots of help for his darling to learn. Everything is going smoothly until the day he decides to teach you Russian cursive. Ivan’s darling can’t follow his teachings since she claims that it all looks like scribbles.

9/10 Ivan puts in the effort unlike Francis who I’ve decided I have beef with.

Spain

Antonio is more than happy to teach you everything about his culture and language. He’ll waste no time to show his darling telenovelas and Spanish songs.

Spanish is a widely learnt language so he searches up one of those curriculums online to teach to his darling.

Antonio loves that his darling is learning Spanish mostly so he can find a new way to flirt with her.

[thedealersfiance]

help i just realized i’m not following you back??? i’m sorry 😭🙏🏻💔

also PLEASE tell me about your ocs!!! all of them!!!

brah. HOW DID I NOT SEE THIS….i gotta check my asks more often…but…i suppose i’ll give you a quick rundown of araceli’s story and how she met her pookie bear (dealer)

-this weird girl, araceli, keep frequenting the bar, always staying past closing because nobody really cares about some patron staying as long as she cleans up after herself

-she begins treating the bar as her own, staying every single night to help clean and indirectly becoming a staple of the club, basically cleaning up after everyone and not getting payed for it because it’s what she loves to do

-dealer walks up to her as she’s cleaning, asking if he’s seen her before or if she even works there, to which she responds he hasn’t and profusely apologizes and expects a punishment of some sort

-he gives her a proposition, asks if she would like to make some money

-knowing she doesn’t need money, she declines the offer and tells him she is quite well off, she is only looking for a job to escape her own boredom

-intrigued by this, he asks if she would humor him. amuse him. play with him.

-of course, she has no clue what this entails, so she accepts reluctantly, as if she knows what he wants

-to her surprise, it was…a game of roulette.

-oh.

-huh…

-this is easy, right?

-…she’s absolutely terrible. missing every shot, miscounting every bullet, asking constant questions, nearly dying many many times.

-sends her to the doctor to fix her up, and he does, watching her keenly and listening to her rambling.

-while listening, he learns she comes from a rich family and has basically been trapped inside her house due to her many drug charges making her unable to get a job, her health worsening due to her excessive drug/alcohol use, though she is excellent at keeping things clean and has a very creative mind

-he starts to feel bad for this woman and tells her she can work as a bartender, for the price of her-

-she doesn’t care what the price is. she accepts without even listening to what she owes him.

-but don’t you want to-

-no. give me the job.

-….o…kay.

-after closing, she makes sure to visit him every day with a different drink, which he indulges in quite nicely and listens to her many ramblings, the monster in him subsiding every time she visits

-do they fuck? that’s for you to decide and me to write about in my google docs

When he had gone to Stolas he had been rather excited for his chances, the possibilities. Lucifer, the great big man himself, was a rather lonely soul and so not only had he started to put more time in learning more about his citizens, he had come to find a group that really interested him. IMP, the ‘immediate murder professionals’ as he's come to learn.

He had grown rather fond of their ad, played it two thousand, five hundred fifty four times actually if he remembered correctly and after some time he's finally come to actually visit.

When the door opens and he grins the look on Loona 's face actually managed to go from its usual nonchalant gaze to one of pure shock and reasonably so… she froze immediately upon being greeted.

“Um! Oh!” Lucifer says looking over the hellhound, putting on a charming smile, even taking the time to dust off his shoulders and make sure his hat wasn't crooked before reaching a palm out to the hellhound as if to shake her hand.

“I saw your companies ad on TV and well to say the least I'm curious! Interested if you will.” He starts off and Loona actually feels her mouth fall open just as Willow trails in with Moxie and Millie in tow.

That chatted about a few things as they usually did whether it be something as simple as the weather outside to their more deeper friendship things. The three were rather close and in particular at that very moment Willows voice seemed to stand out the most, making Lucifer himself perk before tilting his head and looking aside from Loona to see just who he was hearing and then his eyes land on her.

“No no, I'm just saying you all should be more careful. Last time you saw how Blitz almost blew up the fucking microwave… and his head with it.” she seems to ramble only to pause and look over to Loona. They had heard when he originally knocked and were just now coming to see their guest. Curiosity fills the air because they get visitors here and there but Loona suspiciously seemed to resemble a… living statue at the moment even though her back was currently to the three.

The imps come around her, Millie huffing softly at first and Moxie lifting a brow and then all three froze much… like Loona had down so.

“Great holy fuck…” Willow manages to break the silence first and Lucifer's honestly grateful for it because to say the least he was starting to feel a bit awkward standing here as they gwaked at him. It happens often in situations and circumstances like this. He softly chuckles at the response, looking directly at her now, his crimson eyes connecting with her own as he raises a hand to give the group a wave.

“Unholy. Oh and I think your dog is broken?” He says, lifting a brow but there's a smile on his charming little face.

Everyone seems to blink for a moment only for Moxie and Millie to immediately drag Loona aside, practically rambling to her about never wanting to work on being more friendly and how rude and crazy it was for her to freeze up at such a time and not shake the Devil's hand and Loona takes it like a champ because even she can't not hate herself for never caring more about her own responsibilities and timing. Her ears lowered as she lets them fill her ears with the words she deserves to her and it's quite literally like two parents grounding a reckless teen or caretakers ranting about their patient's behavior.

Its needed and it's not that Willow disagrees with their way of ‘parenting’ but she wishes she wasn't practically shitting herself right now as she now stands alone with Lucifer now.

What else is she to do but gather her millions of thoughts and give him a wide smile as a light ball of sweat seems to run down her neck.

“I… apologize for the wait sir. Please, please come in. Take a rest if you want, thirsty? Hungry? I can assist you right now with any of your wants and needs.” She offers and it's only because of who he is. Willow would be a liar if she said she wasn't just a bit hopeful in growing closer to him because how often does the Lucifer show directly up to anyone's doorstep? Hell, usually she'd even try standing up for Loona but she definitely deserves the punishments she'll get for slipping like this.

Lucifer seems to shake off any awkwardness he felt from his interaction with Loona and reaches his hand out now to Willow, that charming smile coming back to his lips but it's just a bit bigger now as she looks down at her and maybe he is growing a sweet spot for these little imps and maybe… just maybe it's because they have to literally look up at him for a change.

He gives her a moment and Willow eyes widens a little when she realizes he's serious and eagerly, she takes his hand with both of her own even, holding and shaking his palm as her tail seemed to flicker back and forth fondly as if it couldn't control itself. She couldn't believe it, she was actually getting to touch him, to shake hands with Lucifer himself and she could feel herself having to contain her excitement.

He's warm though it's expected and his palm is noticeably a bit bigger than her own, and she can feel the amount of power he has and holds. It's like a euphoria of emotions having this moment with him and Willow dreads the idea of ever having to wash her hands again and fuck it, maybe she won't.

“I-It's lovely to be in your presence sir. I'm really sorry for Loona, I'm sure she was just nervous. She tends to do that when she is.” She quickly explains and Lucifer chuckles.

“It's quite alright, I see not everyone has that issue.” He hums and it seems as though he's already rather fond of her. Lucifer knew he had just gotten to this place but this imp in particular was growing on him rather quickly. He can see the way her eyes light up and sparkle and he finds it pretty cute how that tail of hers is moving as it sways and flickers behind her and it just reminds him exactly of why he loved the sinners who had them. He gives her hand a squeeze before pulling it carefully from her and of course she lets him as his skin seems to glide against her own.

Willow takes a deep breath, breathing in deeply through her nose and slowly out her mouth. Millie, Moxie and Loona have grown quiet and with a quick glance Willow can see that the three had disappeared from their previous location, most likely to gk look over the building to make sure everything is in tip top shape for the King of demons himself. Blitz was going to be pissed to know he's actively missing their first meeting with this man and they all knew it but for now duty called. That's what he got for always running of fo do whatever fuck shit he tended to usually do.

Willow steps aside, waving an arm out and smiles up at him and Lucifer returns the gaze before stepping into the building. He lets his eyes trail over everything and to be fair it's rather decent, much like that little hotel Charlie was running even though renovations could definitely be arranged. It's clean enough, and there's a few pieces of art here and there and to be far Lucifer could probably even admit it was a bit homey. He perks a little as the sound of a soft click fills the air as Willow closes the door and then she stands with him with a smile and it's small… even a little cute to Lucifer.

“I can… show you around sir. It's still a work in progress however.” She starts to explain to him and Lucifer gives a carefree shrug. Truth is that he was enjoying even just this moment between him and her even with how small it seemed.

With his title he should be more accustomed to great and grand things but he's the Devil. He sees it all… the time and sometimes he tends to find joy in the smaller things, the little things that were easy to forget or look over.

“We have our headquarters and our offices but of course we also have the kitchen, the conference room and things like the washroom.” She continues to speak as she stands beside him now and she's so much closer than she had ever dreamed of being with him. Never once had she thought she'd get to meet him of all people and yet here he was.

Lucifer brightens like a kid in a candy store as she speaks and looks around before landing his gaze back on her. He wanted to see everything and Willow chuckles because with that look on his face she knows he does and so she starts off as she usually would, going down the list basically as she begins her tour.

She goes to the kitchen, showing him the fridge and he happily looks in it, even accepting a snack she offers him. They then trail off the the conference room where she talks to him about their countless missions jobs and he listens adamantly, always a fan of such things. After the conference room they walk the halls together, his heels clicking softly with each step and Willow seems to be in her element as she explains this place and Lucifer can't help the way he seems to… admire her.

She looks pretty when she's talking like this, she seems so confident and reliable and Lucifer can only wonder how she is when she's actually working… can only wonder how she looks when she's in the zone, when she's out murdering and killing when her job asked her to and he had to admit that he'd love to see it for himself. Would love to be able to see her wild side as much as he sees her calm and chilled side.

By the end of the tour Lucifer wishes he had his own tail to wag because this place was surprisingly better than even he imagined and so was she! He's never had such a tour that exactly invested him and he even wonders if it's not the place but if it's her.

He, enjoys her voice, enjoys listening to her talk and ramble about these things and of course he was listening! Of course he was yeah but he had moment where's he just seemed to… zone out, listening to her but doing made him feel like her was swimming on clouds. They should make a why for people to record themselves talking softly and sweetly because he would actually listen for hours if he could and even if he didn't exactly retain any information he was just fine sitting here, there, with her as she spoke to him.

By the end of the tour she smiles at him, looking up at him with a cheeky little grin.

“So?” She says and he looks at her with a smile like a silly dog of some sort who was just happy to be around.

“So…what?” He says a moment after and when Willow lifts a response at his response it suddenly clicks that she's talking about her presentation and Lucifer lets out a laugh.

“Oh! Right, right! No of course that's what you meant haha!” He says and maybe he's a little… flustered? He knows what he is but his heart seems to be racing a little.

He swings his arms out as if offering a hug, his cane standing with magic for a moment by itself.

“I… I love it, yeah! This place is fucking amazing and oh might I say you did an amazing job showing it off?” He chuckles with a close eyed grin and she perks, looking as bright at a million stars in the night sky at hearing that he of all people loved this shabby little place because of her. And Willow can't help the way a flush rushes to her cheeks. How could she possibly show her appreciation to him enough? She isn't exactly sure but for now she smiles brightly, a smile that seems to light and warm up the whole room.

“I'm glad to hear that sir. Please enjoy your stay for as long as you may wish or need to.” She says now with a polite little bow.

She truly… loved her job.

MY FAVORITE RCP EPISODES AND WHY

(MY OPINION!!)

1- "Save Helly" The best episode in my opinion. We had worried rescue team + ANGST AND FLUFF + POLI??? I loved Poli in this episode a lot. He's not really my favorite but he gave me strong older brother vibes especially when he was helping Helly. Considering that the show is for preschoolers, this episode was genuinely so good? Tbh I just wish Jin would have showed up more. I would've loved to see her more worried for Helly since she's always yelling at him and stuff, but I'm still happy with what we got.

2- "Thank you, Roy". THIS EPISODE. I LOVED ROY HERE SO MUCH. THE ANGST, THE FLUFF, THE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT I'M OBSESSED. This is why the rescue team focused episodes are the best, because there are so many things you can do with them and their dynamic. I love the lesson it gives to kids, aka that you should always take care of yourself and stuff. And I also love how it sort of showed that the rescue team aren't all indestructible and can get hurt on the job. I don't really have much to say on it other than the fact that it was amazing and made me love Roy as a character even more.

3- "Amber's training". THIS EPISODE HAD SO MUCH POTENTIAL. I love Amber sm she's my comfort character, my mother, my pookie bear, and I love episodes where she's the main focus. I loved how we got to see her vulnerable side and more of her personality and struggles in this episode. SHE JUST WANTED TO BE AS STRONG AS THE OTHERS AND PUSHED HERSELF TOO MUCH AAAAA. And I also loved the angst at the beginning and when she fell off that cliff and how she got hurt, and Jin and the others were worried, however the next part of the episode was kinda disappointing. She just got up like nothing happened and went to look at some infected trees. I really wanted her to get a more serious injury, so the others would need to take care of the doctor instead of the other way around and it would be such a cute plot. It would teach kids that you don't need to push yourself just because you don't succeed the first time, everyone learns on their own pace and Amber should've just trained slowly and not stress too much since she just ended up hurting herself badly, and honestly I'm so mad they didn't add that. (But fanfiction exists, maybe I should rewrite this ep with this plot?)

4- "Let's be honest" MORE HELLY ANGST. I loved how Roy went in to save Helly when he was in that fire and he was so worried and FUCKK ROY WAS SUCH AN OLDER BROTHER HERE AND HE TOOK THE BLAME WHEN JIN WAS MAD And then Helly got overwhelmed with all the fighting and flew away... So yeah it was a bit angsty and I love that.

5- "Helly's Birthday". Yet another Helly angst. This was definitely my favorite S1 episode. The plot was simple but really cute, I felt so bad for Helly, like imagine the people you care about the most forgetting your birthday, especially since Helly is most definitely a kid, or at least way younger than the others. THOSE ARE HIS PARENTS‼️But I can also sort of understand the rescue team. Considering all the shit the town puts them through, they were probably stressed and busy, especially Jin, so they just forgot. Still they apologized and all ended well (although I would've loved more angst)

6- "Poli's secret" I loved this episode because we learned something more about Poli and it's his FEAR! I love that he's afraid of caterpillars, giving him a silly fear like that was a good move and it gave the character more personality. Also the way the others teased him at the end was fun, I love how they're so comfortable with each other to joke around and tease each other too.

7- "Bicycle safety (traffic safety with Poli)" alright pls hear me out on this one... The traffic safety series is my guilty pleasure, like it's not good but I still enjoy it for some reason, (not as much as daily life safety with amber but I still like it) and this episode was super cute to me. Like we have this girl who can't ride a bike and Poli sees her struggling, stops patrolling and just teaches her how to ride a bike. she didn't even ask him to, he just decided to help her out of his own free will and I thought it was so cute and fluffy. Poli was so dad here. I really wish we could see more children like this instead of always seeing Kevin and doughy (or whatever his name is) since tbh I tolerated them at first but I don't really like them...

(Disclaimer: I am NOT shipping these two characters together due to their age gap, Raiden is 36 and Mizu is in her early twenties, i see them more as friends or siblings. These are also hcs so please enjoy this my first time doing this)

Raiden would see Mizu as like a stray cat sometimes with a temper.

He would at first act on guard since she knows how to use a sword as well as him, he would need to stay on his toes in case she would ever strike. But later on when that does not happen he would act more chill around her.

Raiden would teach Mizu some tricks he has learned from the military or other tactics. His main one that he told is to not let your opponent have a moment of breather.

He intimidates her sometimes, but she never shows it.

They would tussle a little, but it would always end up with Raiden gaining the upper hand quickly

(angst warning)

When Raiden is in his “bloodlust” mode during a fight, he would lose a bit of control and would accidentally target Mizu with his swings. Luckily she could block these swings and get him to snap out of it.

He genuinely was worried about these incidents and tries his best to act aware when in his crazy mode.

(I love my pookie wookie bears sm.)

(Also sorry if i made any mistakes again this is my first time)

Howl's Moving Castle Made Me a Simp

RATING: fun = 9/10, plot = 8/10

PLOT SUMMARY: Sophie is an eighteen year old orphan who owns a hat shop passed down by her father. One day, Sophie runs into Howl and a new world is opened to them when a jaded witch curses her to be a ninety year old woman. To reverse the curse, Sophie embarks on a journey upon Howl's Moving Castle.

SIMP PART: In the review below, I will discuss the movie's negative points.

BUT THIS!!!

THESE TWO!!!

The Sassy Man apocalypse was upon us since 2004 when this movie debuted. I believe little boys watched this movie and thought that the best way to get girls was to be as dramatic as Howl. I absolutely love this pairing! In the future, I might write some fanfics.

After watching the movie with my bestie pookie bear, we compared this ship to the Princess Mononoke couple (Mononoke x Ashitaka)

The consensus were that we both liked Monotaka more.

Howl's Moving Castle is a great A-love story about self discovery and found family. What confused us most was the point in which the two feel in love with each other. Howl, is extremely mysterious. You never can tell just what he's thinking. It does't help when you realize that he knew who Sophie was before even meeting her, because time travel.

You could make the argument that he was always enamored by her on that day he met Calcifer (best character!!! Howl got his sassiness from this spitfire). But, I can't truly believe that. And frankly I do not think it mattered when he fell for her. It matters more when Sophie found out that she loves him. The movie is about Sophie learning to discover herself.

(^^Not to say he wasn't enamored by her in that first interaction, but he definitely wasn't in love with her)

Sophie had to be told by other characters that she was in love with Howl. Especially by the Witch of the Waste who was suffering from dementia. My friend initially had a problem with Sophie's initiatives. Sophie has her moments where she's determined despite beings a big scaredy cat, however, she was solemnly aware of her emotions.

I, however, came to the conclusion that Sophie is a little dense. In the beginning sequence of the movie, other people point out that Sophie lacks adventure. She runs the hat shop, not because she's passionate about it but because her dad left it in her name. So to say she would not realize her feelings is an understatement. When did she know she loved him?

I would say, it would have to be the moment when he saw him at his worse. When he was more monster than human. When she realized that he needed her more than she needed him.

This pairing will always have me in a chokehold.

REVIEW:

I love this movie! It gave off A Whisker Away vibes, but I guess you can say that that movie took inspiration from this. Both feature a fantasy element behind a real-world landscape. In Howl's Moving Castle, there are wizards and witches, in a town based off Alsace, France. Both of the female protagonists are forced to take on a different form, Sophie as an old lady, to start their journey of self-discovery. 

Granted, Miyo embarked on the cat train for purely selfish reasons other than Sophie, who was forced into it by a witch.

I bring up A Whisker Away because they did something better than Howl's Moving Castle. They juggled their 'war' aspect more effectively without muddying the love story. And it is my one gripe with the movie. I have no other true negatives to say.

We see the main events through Sophie's eyes. She is not involved in the war elements as heavy as Howl. Miyo on the other hand is deeply connected to the cat world. When she finds out that her body can be lost forever to her, she has a reason to go after the main villain -along with her love interest who would rather her as a person than a cat.

Sophie also had this set up. 

We see that Sophie meeting Howl for the first time put a target on her back by the Witch of the Waste. Who, by all means, went out of her way, to locate and curse Sophie into being an old hag because she, the witch, wants Howl's heart. Let me remind you that Sophie briefly ran into Howl on the streets. They exchanged a few words and Sophie got cursed for it.

This is the perfect setup for a protagonist and villain relationship. We see the two butt heads further on the grounds of the Castle. It was a goldmine to watch Sophie go from being spiteful juts at the Witch to worry as they climbed the stairs together. Sophie even cheers on the Witch who turned her ninety-years-old against her will. And then, out of the goodness of Sophie's heart, they practically became roommates.

The Witch of the Waste got a redemption ark. I had fun with it, and I am happy that it subverted my expectations. It showed that even the most selfish people desire a community.

And this made way for the new antagonist, big government. But, it's more so Howl's problem than Sophie's This is where the movie lacks. They should have switched to Howl's perspective. 

Throughout the whole movie, we can see the war, draining Howl. We see how his continuous usage of magic turns him into a beast by the minute. We understand the kingdom wants to make an army of mindless wizards and witches who've succumbed to animal form. To what, I don't really know? Maybe to conquer the world.

Something generic.

I believe a few minutes in Howl's perspective, would have aided the movie in fleshing out that idea. 

The movie is in Sophie's perspective which made the Witch of the Waste a perfect antagonist for her. The government is after Howl, who Sophie is in love with. She had one interaction with the leader. It's not enough for her to have any stakes besides losing Howl. And when Sophie returns to Howl's heart, the war is over. Magically.

(After I wrote the paragraph above, I forgot that Sophie's involvement with the scarecrow is the reason the war ended, but I'm not changing my last statement.)

It felt rushed. Sophie effectively became the passenger in her own story by the last 20 or so minutes. However, she is the one to end the war when it should've been Howl in the name of protecting his family. Or at least that's how I see it. I loved the flow of the ending sequence with the house falling apart. And I genuinely felt fear at the thought of losing Calcifer. Even the Scarecrow's sacrifice of his stick, caused me to be on the edge of my seat. 

Everything going on in the movie was resolved by Sophie herself. She is a girl-boss, hands down. However, I do think some of it should have shifted to Howl. He needed to solve his own problem, not Sophie's. He should have been the hero to change Mr. Turnip Head, the Scarecrow back into a prince. Not Sophie. I commend him for becoming less of a coward due to Sophie's influence. He learned to rely on her. In the end, it could've been his ultimate sacrifice. He stopped the war, saved the prince, and on the brink of death, Sophie could've still saved him like she did in the movie.

However, Sophie stops the war by finding Howl's heart and fixing the cursed prince. But alas, the hero we needed (and which we got), who overshadowed everything is;

Mr. Turnip Head, the Scarecrow!!!!!!

ITS ME AGAIN HELLO

So, I was thinking about your ocs and I had a few questions!

For Oz:

If he could do one thing differently in his life, what would it be?

Are there any regrets that he has, or is there something people would assume to be a regret but he doubles down that it isn't one?

For Annika:

I know that she ends up being chased by both sides of the war, but if she had to choose a side, which would it be? And what would convince her to rejoin the fight?

Where would she be if she had never been caught by Adler and brainwashed? Would she still be fighting alongside the Perseus faction?

When she was with the faction, who did she tolerate the most? Who did she tolerate the least?

Sorry for the multiple questions - I just had to ask!

Hey pookie bear no worries! I’ve been DYING for someone to ask me these questions 👀

For Oz:

1) Oz wouldn’t have gone into the Army. Simple as that. He had everything going for him; he was the star running back of his college sports team, WHICH HE GOT AN ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIP TO BE IN. The reason he went in was because his little brother, Johnny was drafted. Oz was raised with Old Man Clancy’s intent to go into the Army, so he felt extremely guilty that his brother had to go, when Oz was ‘supposed’ to be the one.

He gave up everything for the Army. His long, lustrous hair, his future, his relationships, his autonomy, everything. And you wanna guess what he got? An addiction, c-PTSD, scars covering most of his body, and the privilege of going to 20 people’s funerals across the country in the span of two weeks. Oh yeah, they gave him jack fucking squat.

2) Everyone swears that Oz regrets staying in Jenny’s life, especially because of her disability. Yeah, he was a bastard with a pretty bad addiction and was a fucking Casanova, but he wasn’t just gonna abandon his kid like that.

However, he does regret having fun times with Gloria and therefore bringing Jenny into the world, especially since they’re all living in an armageddon. Oz regrets signing her up for a life of war and incertitude, but will never, EVER regret staying in her life.

For Annika:

1) If she absolutely had to, Annika’d join Adler again. Mean, she wouldn’t be thrilled about it by any means, and she doesn’t miss being a part of the group, but at least they wouldn’t torture her like Perseus would if they found her. Annika’s all about survival, or dying in the least painful way, so at least Adler would make it quick.

2) This one’s a doozy. On one hand, Annika cared about Perseus for a period of time (as they basically took her off the street and gave her a new life), but on the other, her and Arash had beef since she joined, to the point they literally wanted to kill each other.

I think she’d stay in Perseus, but after a few years they’d send her into a suicide mission. She’s a misanthrope with extremely violent tendencies, eventually that’d make her more of a liability.

But, Annika’s like a fucking cockroach. She’d still be alive. And we know how spiteful she can be. Girlie would snitch after they pulled that stunt.

3) Honestly? I think Annika would tolerate your OC, Keith the most. By absolutely no means would she like him (🤢), but he stays the fuck out of her way. Keith picked up on the whole misanthrope thing she got going on relatively quick, and decided “Dawg I am NOT going anywhere near that thing.” As long as he doesn’t talk to her, she doesn’t give two shits right or left about him, which is the most positive relationship somebody could have with Annika.

Fucking ARASH. They pissed each other the fuck off since Annika was 17. When he shot her, she was going on 23. Dude was beefing with a fucking teenager for three years. The only reason she didn’t stick his head in a wood chipper was because she’d get herself killed in turn.

It started when she was still in the process of learning English. Arash was going on and on about god knows what after a meeting. Talking a lot without actually saying anything.

“Stop speaking. You are headache.”

And they haven’t liked each other since.
