#then you'll understand how much of a jumpscare that was

[smashthegiantkiller]

I remember one time, I put on High School High on VHS and turned on the surround sound, and I tell you when that tape started and the Columbia/Tri-Star logo music was BLARING!!!

holy fuck, what a jumpscare.

watching a movie at home circa like, 2001 was like

put your TV on channel 2 so the VCR will work

open up the clamp shell case that held the VHS that has that satisfying crrlikkkkkk

put in the movie

gdi it has to be rewound

press STOP and then rewind because its so much faster that way

start the movie and it takes a few seconds for the movie to actually start cause you rewound to the VERY beginning

FBI will get you if you illegally distribute or exhibit this movie

and then. because you forgot that movies are always so much louder than TV

COMING SOON TO OWN ON VIDEO AND DVD

QUICK LOWER THE VOLUME LOWER THE VOLUME LOWER THE VOLUME OH FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay crisis averted.

although. these ads are kind of quiet. a little hard to hear.....

better turn up the volume...

SIMON ‘GHOST’ RILEY

workaholic. spends a lot of time working on reports and going through any important files and updating them. you literally cannot drag him out his seat, he'll refuse. he'll be grumpy all day if you manage to get him out his office. appreciates when you bring him cheese and crackers, or just any type of snack he enjoys as he's too busy to go downstairs and get something himself.

tv shows, and watching them till the sun rises. it's a pattern that's accidental. “jus' one more.” you both agree, managing to get through an entire season, exhausted. sometimes you'll look over at simon and see him already asleep, snoring softly with his arm hung loosely around your waist.

takeaways often. usually, simon will eat some food he doesn't eat whilst on deployment. such as chinese takeaway, a chippy or indian food. sitting down on the couch with your plates rested on your lap and a the tv on. he'll be eating healthy and exercising like crazy (not overexercising, but enough for a SAS soldier) before he goes back on deployment.

JOHNNY ‘SOAP’ MACTAVISH

going out to bars. he loves to grab a drink with you, in a somewhat busy area. he enjoys distant chatter and sounds as it fills the silence between you two. definitely coming home tipsy and nearly falling into a plant pot. (he did, he just didn't want to admit it the next morning)

always watching the football. you'd busy cleaning, getting jumpscared every few minutes by a loud yell. i bet he begs you to watch with him, seeing you all confused as you attempt to understand. probably cuddling on the couch and watching whatever on his phone afterwards.

waking up super late. he adores late mornings, adores waking up at 11am, your body pressed into his, spooning you and holding you close to his chest while enjoying eachothers warmth.

CAPTAIN JOHN ‘PRICE’

getting jumpscared by his loud ass sneezes. literally will cause you to jump out your skin and drop your phone, giving him a dirty glare before going back to your phone.

fishing. no matter how boring you say it is, you'll always come with him as you don't get to see him often and wish to appreciate every moment together. gets so happy when he catches a big fish, he's like a proud dad.

loud ass snoring... it's deep and loud, you'll have to either pinch his nose or kick him in the leg and pray that you fall asleep before he does. but that rarely happens as he's a deep sleeper. wakes up at random times and spoons you so his snoring is directly beside your ear.

KYLE ‘GAZ’ GARRICK

showering together. he can't help himself, he just has to join you. runs the soap down your back, massaging your shoulders whilst you giggle and squirm away from him. he fell over.

his chin resting apon your head whilst you brush your teeth together, probably managed to get toothpaste in your hair much to your demise. hearing him gag whenever he tries to brush his tongue, retching and tearing up.

playing video games together. he says he'll go easy on you but actually gets offended when you win. probably refuses to admit he lost when he isn't giving you an advantage, denying everything whilst you giggle and accuse him repetitively.

warnings ; language, mention of pills, mentions/descriptions of oral anatomy (ik some ppl get icked when ppl talk about insides of mouths i get it)

masterlist

TOMMYINNIT

"woah- hey there"

you're bouncing off the walls and dying to show him

you picked the one moment he's busy with editing and you stand behind him for a solid 3 minutes before he turns around

you stick your tongue out to show off your new piercing and he exclaims a bit, his emotions in awe

he may look disgusted or cringed, but he's just surprised you're for one, not in pain, two, how good it looks on you

"Holy shit, it looks awesome y/n!"

then proceeds to ask a million questions about it

he's mostly just curious what it feels like inside your mouth and how you take care of it and eat around it

idk what to call it bc I obv don't have a tongue piercing (or any in general LMAO) but you do the little putting the piercing between your teeth trick for him and he jumps back all frightened at first

he had no idea how you did it somehow

"how the fuck did you just do that???"

you to be fair jumpscared him with it so you just kinda show him

"doesn't that hurt????"

RANBOO

"Ran, lookit!"

Bro looks up at you with your tongue out and his resting face turns into a wide smile

"Oh my God!? you actually got it? I'm so happy for you!"

wraps you in a hug

once the excitement wears off he's super paranoid about you being uncomfortable or in pain because I mean your tongue just got jabbed with a needle and now you've got a piece of metal in it

also asks questions, mostly because he also wants to understand how it feels in your mouth

"does it like... rub up on the roof of your mouth and scratch it? like, does it hurt other than the pain from the insertion?"

they LOVE when you do the little teeth trick, it's just so cool to them lmao

they'll gift you some new (high quality) jewelry as well every once in a while

he literally went online to get a customized one that says "#1 Ranboo fan" in it for you 💀💀

instead of wearing it, you turn it into a bracelet/necklace/use it as another kind of piercing that way you can actually show it off

he likes seeing you fidget around specifically w the pill ones

questions you constantly how you don't accidently swallow it or something

"wait.. do you take it out when you shower and brush your teeth? genuine question, I swear!"

again, they're happy if you're happy

they're happy seeing you be able to express yourself more clearly and they don't care what it is, they're always by your side

BADLINU

he, harry, & bill came with you for moral support

he wasn't staring down the inside of your mouth but he felt the pain with how hard you were squeezing his hand 💀💀💀💀

he looks up at Harry and Bill with pleading eyes like "Holy shit they have some grip help me"

he refuses to buy/let you buy jewelry that isn't 100% high quality

nor is he letting that shit get infected either

he always notices when you match the jewelry to your outfits or the occasion as well

like you'll be attending the streamer awards and you'll smile for a picture and he'll just see your jewelry perfectly matches your outfit

he likes buying you the fun colorful ones bc you only buy the plain silver/gold/black ones for yourself

"Wait, how do you like... get it out?"

"how much does it hurt?"

sometimes he just finds jewelry you left on the nightstand or dresser from when you have sleepovers

he'll text you like "dude you left your stuff here again I told you to check 💀"

"Shut up I'm omw back"

QUACKITY

"OH MY GOD HOLY SHIT YOU LOOK AWESOME"

like engulfs you in a hug

instantly shows you off the the gang and shit

you basically tell chat all about the story at the piercers and he's cringing in pain all the way through

oh my God he hates the descriptions you use he swears it's just to tease him or something

also the type to custom order jewelry for you

you do order a custom one with the pixel :) tho & u wear it the most out of the other jewelry you have lmaoooo

if it was still 2019 u totally would've done the iconic quackityhq duck

when he kisses you he likes touching the piercing w his tongue just to fuck you up bc it feels weird

"HAHA L!"

genuinely concerned sometimes bc you sit there and fidget w it and zone out for a solid 5 minutes in a loud room and he's just worried you'll rip it out or smthn

also the type to wonder how you don't accidently swallow it

always makes you pose with your tongue out in pics he takes of you bc he's so in love with it

he probably loves that damn piercing more than he loves you

NIHACHU

"Oh my gosh! you look so good!"

like hugs you and spins you around

helps you take care of it and stuff, always on top making sure you're not in pain and whatnot

she'll match her snakebites with your new piercing

if you're wearing some silver jewelry, she'll change her snakebites to silver hoops or spikes etc etc

also gifts you jewelry religiously

she found some online (high quality as well 🙏🙏🙏) that perfectly match your aesthetic and never has she ever clicked add to cart so damn quick

also helps you style jewelry with outfits

she also likes the teeth trick, she likes the sound mostly of the jewelry clinking off your teeth

it's one of those like adrenaline shudder moments yk?

but she is constantly getting pictures of you showing it off/with your tongue out

like quackity, I think she likes the piercing more than she likes you LMAO

FOOLISH GAMERS

"Oh, hi- oh my God, hi!"

he's so interested just off the bat

you do the little teeth trick and he does his little giggle ❤️❤️

"that sounds so weird"

he has you show it off to his stream and he's all smiles and shit

he of course gifts you a lot of jewelry as well and always triple checks to make sure it's high quality

his Google history is just "Is _____ high quality?" "Is it safe to buy from ____?" etc

when you're making out or whatever he loves tasting the metal of the piercing on his tongue, he's addicted

always compliments you as well, always posting photos w you showing it off too

like you'll most a photo showing it off and he'll be in the comments like "marry me pls" and be fighting off your fans who are just complimenting you

like some random person will be like "omg you look so cool!!" and he'll jokingly reply with a "back off buddy they're mine 😡"

God I'm so in love with this man

VN Male Lead Misogyny Power Levels

Not a misogynist:

Shizuki Soujuurou (outsider perspective lack of understanding of gender roles. cool about women because no one has ever given him a reason not to be)

Mildly sexist:

Maebara Keiichi (being exclusively friends with girls has scoured a lot of the sexism from his horny teenage boy soul but, like, not all of it. all the stuff in onikakushi was deeply gendered)

Emiya Shirou (a staunch feminist 95+% of the time and then he'll drop a completely uncalled for line about how maybe getting assaulted will teach his classmate to be more feminine and you'll remember who his father was)

Ushiromiya Battler (Umineko is about teaching Battler to empathize with women)

Horrifyingly sexist

Minato Kageaki (at the level of sexism you would expect from a bushido samurai ex-soldier turned cop living in fascist 1940s japan but keeps his mouth shut about it so much of the time you get jumpscared whenever his opinions on women come up)

Tohno Shiki (what the actual fuck is wrong with that kid jesus fucking christ)

Obey Me Flufftober Day 31

Prompt: Haunted House

Pairing: all (separate) x reader (gender neutral) (platonic Luke)

Word count: 3,321

A/n: You guys voted, and surprise 3 won, meaning I get to write about everyone in a haunted house! I still don't know how I managed to make it through yet another October, but I'm very proud of the work I've done this month. As a reminder, my inbox is almost always open if anyone wants to send in a request. My fandom list is on my pinned post, so if you have any suggestions, feel free to ask!

Lucifer

He is not scared in the slightest, and it's actually very funny to watch. Like, the scare actors try so hard to get him to jump, and it does not work at all.

Lucifer is definitely the type to critique the design of the house. He'll talk about how a decoration is inaccurate or a prop is out of place. Truly a menace indeed.

I feel like he would be so into grilling the details of the house that it would be easy to scare him in this moment. None of the scare actors get him, but if you or one of his brothers sneaks up on him, he will jump. Then he'll deny it ever happened of course.

His main priority is watching over you. If you're scared of haunted houses or if you're just jumpy in general, he'll hide you behind him and threaten any actors who try to scare you. If you're not scared, he still keeps a close eye on you as you run around with the others, though he's a little less protective since you can handle yourself.

None of the scare actors particularly like him because of how he is in the house, but at least he's not as chaotic as his brothers, so he gets a minute pass.

Mammon

Scared, horrified, running away from literally everything.

Poor Mammon would not last two second in a haunted house. He'd be so cocky beforehand, bragging about how brave and cool he is, and then immediately gets scared by a creaky door or something.

Scare actors love him because of how easily frightened he is. Mammon practically jumps ten feet in the air anytime someone jumpscares him.

However, Mammon does have quick reflexes, so he might accidentally punch an actor in the face and get banned for life, so make sure he avoids that.

Regardless of how brave you are in this situation, Mammon is clinging to you for dear life. If you're also a scardy-cat like him, then the two of you cower behind Lucifer the whole time to avoid the jumpscares. If you're braver than him, he'll pretend to be your knight in shining armor to impress you, immediately gets scared, and hides behind you for the rest of the night.

Once getting out, he'll deny ever being scared, but Levi got everything on tape, so no amount of denying will erase it.

Leviathan

You'd think he'd be scared, you you'd be so wrong. This kind of thing is like a paradise to Levi.

He loves all things horror, so haunted houses are definitely his jam. Yeah, he does get jumpscared easily, but that's all part of the fun to him. He loves it when the scare actors manage to get him, and he'll compliment them on how well they're doing before moving on.

If he's allowed to record, you best believe he is vlogging every last detail. Levi def has a Deviltube channel, and he will post the entire thing, including everyone else getting scared.

Levi will absolutely cling to your side the entire time. If you're scared by haunted houses, he might make fun of you a bit for being a normie, but he doesn't mean anything by it. This might actually be one of the few times you'll ever see confident Levi. He'll walk in front of you and tell you when he thinks a scare might come up, as he's pretty good at predicting those sorts of things. If you're also a lover of haunted houses, the two of you are having so much fun. You're so hyped up, running around and trying to find all of the hidden details and scare actors.

Levi's probably one of the best to go to a haunted house with, as he's one of the few who actually understands proper haunted house etiquette, plus he's one of the few who actually enjoys this kind of thing.

Satan

Do not, and I repeat, do not take him to a haunted house ever. It will end in disaster for everyone.

Satan hates being jumpscared. As much as he hates to admit it, he is surprisingly jumpy, so him and haunted houses do not mix. When he gets scared, he gets mad, and Satan mad is never good. He will go on an absolute tear and destroy the whole haunted house.

But, let's assume he wouldn't do such a thing. As long as he doesn't get scared, Satan is pretty good company for a haunted house. He likes exploring all of the different rooms and looking for any hidden details.

If you really wanna have fun, you should take him to a haunted escape room instead. That way, he can focus more on the puzzles and the problem solving and less on the scares.

Satan is also good company if you're afraid of haunted houses. He'll protect you from anything scary, and if he senses a scare is about to happen, he'll hide you so you don't have to see it. However, if you enjoy haunted houses, Satan is content to let you do your own thing while he stays a bit behind. If you're with a group, he prefers to stay in the back and hang out there, but if it's just the two of you, he'll walk behind you while you lead the charge.

Asmodeus

He has a love-hate relationship with haunted houses. On the one hand, Asmo hates being scared. He does not like scary movies, books, games, or any other work of horror. On the other hand, he can appreciate the time and effort put into haunted houses, especially when it comes to wardrobe and makeup. While it may not be his personal style, he loves all of the little details inthe scare actors' costumes and makeup, and will compliment them.

He's another one to vlog his haunted house experience if he's allowed to. Honestly, even if he weren't allowed, he probably would anyway, resulting in him getting kicked out. Playing the influencer card would not help him here.

Asmo does jump easily, but he is also good at recovering quickly in order to save face, so even if he is scared, you barely notice before he's back to his usual self.

If you're jumpy like him, the two of you will hide together. this is especially true when you're in a group because you will be hiding in the middle like a protective shield. If you like haunted houses, Asmo will ramp up the drama and make you into his knight and shining armor. He'll pretend to faint so that you'll catch him, he'll cling to your arm, etc. etc. It's actually quite cute as long as it's something you enjoy as well.

Beelzebub

He's actually a lot of fun in a haunted house. I imagine that a lot of the scare actors would actually be afraid of him considering how intimidated he looks and how he keeps commenting about how edible some of the scenery looks.

Beel is kinda bored since he's hard to scare, but he still enjoys walking around. As long as he has something to snack on, he's good with being in a haunted house for a bit.

If you're going with a group, Beel will kinda become the leader by default since he's big enough to be a shield for some of the jumpers like Mammon and Asmo. If it's just the two of you, he'll stick by you and will hold your hand if you'd like him to.

If you're someone who is easily frightened, he'll protect you. You can stand behind him and cling to his shirt while he guides you through the house. Beel will most likely glare at actors who scare you, but he knows that it's their job, so he doesn't do much more than that.

Conversely, if you're someone who likes haunted houses, he's more than happy to let you lead the way. Watching you get all excited whenever a jumpscare happens makes him smile, and he loves seeing you so happy.

Belphegor

This demon thrives in haunted houses. They are actually his natural habitat, but you didn't hear that from me.

Belphie is also an absolute menace. Scare actors hate him because he makes it his mission to scare them first. He's been kicked out of several haunted houses because of this, but he just keeps going back anyways.

When he's with a group, he'll usually stick towards the back, or he'll have someone carry him so that he can sleep. When he's just with you, he'll either drag along behind you if he's tired, or lead you if he's more awake and interested.

If you're not fond of haunted houses or if you're more jumpy, he'll stay in front of you, but not much more than that. He still laughs when you get scared, but he'll hold your hand for the rest of the way and comfort you when you get outside. He'd apologize for laughing, but he'd do it again the next time anyways. Not out of malice though; that's just how he is.

If you're a fan of haunted houses, you and Belphie have a blast. Just makes sure you keep him from getting kicked out again. You two run around and explore and have the best time. Like Satan, he'd also enjoy a haunted house themed escape room. The three of you hanging out and doing an escape room is the idea hangout.

Diavolo

Absolutely obsessed with haunted houses. Like, this man is having the most fun you've ever seen. He's like a child experiencing his first haunted house, and it's adorable. It's also most likely accurate, as he doesn't get out much and probably hasn't actually experienced one before.

Dia is a major extravert, so he's very good when in a group. He's not very jumpy, and actually laughs when the actors try to scare him, so he's good for leading the charge and protecting everyone else. If it's just the two of you, Diavolo will make sure you're having the most fun you possibly can.

If you dislike haunted houses, Diavolo will make sure you're safe at all times. He'll hide you behind him and keep you away from all possible jumpscares. It's nice to see him so protective, but it's also intimidating to the scare actors, as the last thing they want is to accidentally upset this man or his partner.

If you like haunted houses, then he'll be so excited. He's dragging you around to any and all haunted houses he can find and he's having the time of his life with you. Watching you have fun is also fun for him.

Barbatos

Chaos. Absolute chaos. One scare actor tries to jumpscare him and suddenly they can no longer be found. he denies everything of course, but you know.

Barbatos hates being scared. Can he sense a scare coming from a mile away? Yes. Does he still somehow get scared anyway? Also yes. He actually hates haunted houses, but he'll never let anyone know. He's super good at hiding it, and by hiding it, I mean hiding the bodies of the scare actors he accidentally kills when they scare him just a bit too much.

If you don't like haunted houses, then that's perfect for him. Instead, he'll gladly stand outside with you while your group goes inside. He's definitely the themepark mom who stands outside of all the attractions and holds the bags for everyone, and that's especially true here. please stand outside with him and keep him company. He's actually very embarrassed about it, even if he won't show it.

If you want to go into the haunted house, he'll begrudgingly agree as well. He stays quiet, and you'll never know how scared he is. Like I said, he's great at keeping his fear hidden, and he's also good at predicting jumpscares, but it's one thing to predict a scare and another to be prepared for it.

Please show him some mercy and just let him stay outside. He needs a break, plus it would keep the poor scare actors alive as well, so it's a win-win for everyone.

Simeon

The confused but happy-to-be-there grandpa. He's having a good time, but he doesn't really understand the point of a haunted house. When he gets scared, he jumps then laughs it off and talks about how good the actor got him, and it's actually very cute.

Haunted houses aren't much his scene, but he doesn't mind them. Simeon isn't very jumpy, but he does get scared on occasion if it's a particularly good one. He's also the type to pretend to be scared because he'd feel bad. It's the actor's job after all, so he wants them to succeed. It's actually very adorable.

If you dislike haunted houses, he understands and would gladly stand outside with you if you need. However, if you go in anyways, he'd let you hide behind him. Simeon is a bit chaotic, so he might try to scare you himself, but not too bad. Plus, he'd protect you from the actual scares, so it's not too bad.

If you enjoy haunted houses, Simeon is more than happy to stay behind you while you lead the way. He's not scared, but he'd much rather you take the brunt of the jumpscares so that he can simply enjoy his time with you.

Luke

He tries so hard to be brave, and it does not work at all. Luke would refuse to go in without Simeon with him, and he'd cling to him the entire time. He would also stay with you because he trusts you to keep him safe.

Please keep him away from the brothers. They will make it their mission to scare poor Luke, so keep an eye on them just in case. Also make sure Luke stays somewhere in the middle of the group so that he can avoid as many jumpscares as possible.

Like I said, Luke would try so hard to put on a brave face. He'd march in all tough-looking and would immediately get scared by the opening scare.

Ideally, he would just hang out outside with Barbatos and Simeon, but he'd go in for you. He wants to look tough for you if no one else because he looks up to you so much. This is especially true if you're scared as well, as he wants you to feel like he can protect you as your guardian angel.

However, if you're not scared, he will hide behind you. He tries to convince you he's not scared and that he's just protecting your back, but you both know the truth. Just take pity on him and hype him up so that he gains some confidence.

Solomon

Another menace. He's casting small spells here and there to create extra scares that never existed. He's out here scaring the scare actors because no one knows how that prop got there, meanwhile he's just goofing off. His main targets are Asmo and Barbs since they're his pactmates, but he's an equal opportunist menace, and he will go after anyone.

You're not safe either. You thought that because he loves you that you would be safe, but you're so wrong. He actively targets you more because he loves you. Nothing too major of course, but he is a prankster by nature, and this is no exception. He's out here scaring you more than the actors.

If you're genuinely scared, he won't add onto that too much. Maybe on little prank here and there, but just to make you laugh rather than to scare you.

However, if you enjoy being scared, he is not holding back. Solomon will go all out, and at this point, he's going to put the scare actors out of a job. It's silly, but please tell him to tone it down before he gets banned. Not that he'll care, but still.

Thirteen

Yet another menace. However, she's a nice menace. Thirteen is the type to force someone else to be at the front so that they get the brunt of the scares. She will also fight with Solomon the entire time, but that's how she usually is anyways.

Thirteen isn't jumpy at all, so none of the scares get her. However, she'll sometimes pretend to be scared because she thinks it's fun for her. She also likes to scare the actors back, so she's also one who'll get kicked out of haunted houses for messing with them.

She will bully Mammon for being scared and actively make sure he's even more scared with her own tricks. It's a little mean, but it is also very funny, and the video Levi gets is golden.

If you're easily scared, she will tone it down a bit for your sake. Unlike Solomon, she won't try to scare you at all, instead focusing more on making sure you're okay. If needed, she will stay outside with you, even if she really wants to go inside. She'd do anything to make you comfortable, even at the sacrifice of her own enjoyment.

However, if you're like her, you two will probably get arrested. She will drag you into so many pranks, and it's so much fun. Just make sure you stay away from Lucifer and Barbatos lest they punish you. Also, like I said, you might get arrested or kicked out, but she doesn't care.

Mephistopheles

Surprisingly not scared that much. He might jump a bit, but it's barely a reaction at all. He's actually so bland it's sad. Like, he doesn't get into chaos, but he also isn't jumpy. Mephisto kinda just exists within the group. The most he'll do is make fun of the ones who do get scared, which might end up in a fight, but that's it.

He wouldn't mind hanging out outside with Barbatos, but he'd prefer being inside to stay with Diavolo (simp).

If you were scared, he'd stay by you and let you hold his arm. He hides you when he senses a scare coming on, and if anyone bullies you, he will fight them. It's a sweet gesture, but the extra yelling doesn't help.

If you enjoy being in the house, he's fine letting you go off on your own. He'll look after you from afar, but he won't bother you too much so that you can have your own fun. He'd join you if you want him to, but if not, he'd rather hang back and just enjoy walking through the house.

Raphael

Stoic. Calm. Not scared at all. It's actually the scariest part of this adventure. Like, he shows zero emotion when in the haunted house. No one knows how, but they fear him greatly.

He'd probably prefer to be one of the ones to stay out of the house and hang out at the entrance, but if you want him to go, he will.

He tries his best to keep the group in line, but he fails miserably. It's just him, Lucifer, and Barbatos suffering in silence while the group causes chaos around them.

If you're afraid, he'd gladly stay outside with you. He'd hang out and wait for the group with you and that would make him so happy. However, if you did go in, Raphael is your best protector. He keeps you away from any and all jumpscares and will not let you out of his sight until it's over.

If you're not scared, he'd still go in with you, but he'd be less protective. He would be fine letting you go off and have fun, but he'd still keep an eye on you just to make sure you're staying out of trouble. If he senses you causing chaos, he will step in and tell you to calm down, but he still wants you to have fun, so he tries his best to be lenient.

[thalfbloodloser]

You bring insanity to a boringly sane fandom. I would like to hear your latest thought on ivorycest... Whatever nugget you may be nursing. If that is alright

✦ aw, thank you! you're so sweet 🐌🧡 it's very much alright - no one in here ever sends me fun stuff anymore. your ask was a breath of fresh air, anon! truth be told, i haven't been thinking about ivorycest all that much, but get ready for a HUGE text-block jumpscare because you just gave me the perfect excuse to write about them ➜

✦ sometimes it pains me to see so many folks avoiding ivorycest like the plague, because, like ranfren itself, it's so unapologetically insane that you can't really hate it. even if you try. if you have a dash of sense of humor, you'll see it's hilariously canon compliant!

i've seen lots of people argue that "anything romantic/sexual between randal and luther would be inherently out of character", which i'll admit is a reasonable concern, but it's just not true. the issue is characterization: people keep projecting human-based tropes and behavior on cryptids, and that's where the knee-jerk "eugh" reaction comes from. because yeah, randal and luther aren't going to declare their Forbidden Love for each other and then passionately kiss under the moonlit sky, nor are they going to feel guilty about their attraction and part ways with a tearful "we can't! this is wrong!". it would be completely unnatural behavior for them. all that? made for humans. and pretty basic humans, at that. for ivorycest to work, both in and out of canon, you gotta fully embrace the weirdness, see beyond humanity and forget all old expectations you might've gotten from any other couple of siblings!

from my point of view, it doesn't even feel like it fits with the rest of the "-cest"s. and not because of the possibility that randal and luther aren't even biologically related (i seriously doubt they're even from the same species) - we all know that adoptive siblings aren't any less siblings just because they don't share DNA. plus, pseudo-incest is still a thing - but because they're so, so far from human nature and from other brother/brother ships that it's almost laughable, and sometimes genuinely puzzling, to apply ANY human labels to them at all. for example, would you call luther a cannibal because he eats people? no. because it'd be like calling a human cannibal for eating cows, and that makes no sense. words mean things.

to us, at least.

coincidentally, that's half of my point.

the ivorys adress each other as "brother", sure, but you cannot look me in the eyes and tell me that they fully understand what that means or that they care about it enough to follow the moral/ethical guidelines attached to such terms. you simply cannot. most times it feels less like they see each other as family and more like they're just...roleplaying.

but if you decide to call someone "daddy", just when does that make them your father?

randal, who could (but perhaps shouldn't) be considered the most resourceful of the two, uses "brother" as both title and honorific - like one uses "sir" or "ma'am" - but doesn't seem to be overtly attached to the familial aspect of it. again, he's not a human, and, as far as we know, our siblinghood doesn't come naturally to him - much like pain, guilt, conscience and a whole load of bodily functions that he also seems to lack. luther, on the other same hand, understands the caretaking implications of being the "older brother", but that's pretty much where his brotherly-ness begins and ends. if anything, he's incorrectly using the sibling label while playing parent; just without any trauma and/or responsibility attached to it. there's also the fact that he's the most powerful entity in the household and randal - no matter how many pianos he "possesses" or how many times he shoves himself in the space between the wall and the fridge - cannot possibly overpower him, also adds to this parent/kid dynamic; hence granting luther the (almost-meaningless) title of "master" and the authority over their dysfunctional home. that still doesn't mean randal perceives him as anything but a housemate, or playdate, for he doesn't really seem to keep up the role of mischievous little brother unless he's bored (often, not always).

so they use the word, but it lacks permanent meaning. in that sense, classic incest tropes - no matter if brocon or dadson flavored - don't really work. there's power imbalance, sure, but the familial bonds needed to reinforce that imbalance simply do not exist. randal is babied because he likes to be. he likes being taken care of and likes having rules to break. it's a character he plays. luther "takes care" of him because he himself likes doing it. he likes being a parent and likes having a reason to lecture & discipline. it's a character he plays. they don't actually need this dynamic to thrive, and it wasn't imposed on them by parents/caretakers or any set of misfortunes that we know of. they just deliberately chose to partake on it.

consequently, i don't think they feel what humans perceive as familial love (healthy or unhealthy) for each other. they're simply two powerful entities - whom we can assume have been at least friends for a long time - playing make-believe. creatures who have little to no regard for humanity as a species, and are only interested in their own antics. of course they do eventually commend certain humans for their achievements, and seem to find all sorts of comfort in our art/creations/traditions, but outside of that? they see humans as fragile beings as intelectually insignificant to them as most animals are to us. randal forcibly keeps one as a pet. not far from "master" luther, who keeps two.

again, the ivorys are clearly intelligent, specially regarding their own survival. they're not behind being purposefully dense when it comes to anything human that is even slightly inconvenient to them (huh? eating the delivery man's arm when we order pizza is bad? haha, i would never have guessed!). they have the means and understanding necessary to behave (and perhaps look) 100% human, they just...choose not to. they can bend reality itself to their whims, turn themselves and others into inconceivable creatures, all while feigning absolute normalcy at the chaotic world around them (werewoofs, carpet cats with human faces, alive walls and furniture...), and you think they'd draw the line at willingly distorting something as frivolous as family hierarchy?

tch. please.

with that said, by the rules of their own game, if they were to partake in any...non-platonic activities, it would only be considered incestuous because they decided it would be - by creating the dynamic and environment in the first place. and they would simply not fucking care if it is upsetting, distasteful or imoral by human standards. and that's the ship's whole flavor - that's why i love it so much! precisely because there's no such thing as the "oh, no! i accidentally fell in love with my sibling! woe is me!" (which i also love) with the ivorys. there's also not a "normal" way to ship them, even if you're adamant about them not being related or not seeing each other as family, because they're two fucking weirdos.

their whole relationship is so tastefully bonkers that i genuinely wouldn't be fazed if they spawned another creature to be their "littlest" sibling. honestly, who could stop them? and who's to say that, in their cryptic way, they're not a married couple? or buddies into weird roleplay? ultimately, it is undeniable that they - in at least one sense of the word - love each other enough to enable each other; and to indulge on each other's silly/straight-up-criminal fantasies.

to me, there's no (human) romance, nor seduction, involved. randal knows he'll get nothing by jumping on his brother's lap and performing the most disgustingly horny hentai rip-off scenario ever. much like he'll get nothing in exchange for sweet words, flowers and chocolate. it's part of the game. he knows he'll receive only a "<3" (♥︎) - which him and luther seem to be able to pronounce out loud - or a hummed, blank-faced lecture about needing either a nap or to drink more water. if luther is having a bad day, he might even receive some sort of punishment. and those are the reactions randal wants, the normalcy (if you can call it that) he counts on. if he wanted a different response, something genuinely human, he'd have forcibly gauged it off sebastian, nyon or even nyen. likewise, luther knows better than to come too close or to grab randal by the waist, lest he get bitten or not-so-playfully snipped with scissors.

but there's intimacy. so much intimacy. on waking up to the other's figure looming over them, on physically crawling under each other's skin, on wrapping hands and claws around each other's organs and muscles and bones, on faux eyes staring into faux eyes, on a eerie smile pressed against unmoving lips, on the suspension of disbelief, on the lingering smell of copper, on the flashing lights and sappy endearments and and-

and, i suppose, on the sex too. i don't think i can picture them having human sex - really, who am i to guess what these creatures are packing in their pants? for all we know, they might as well be ken-doll smooth down there - but if they were to ever consummate their relationship sexually, i feel like it would probably be as uncomfortable, off-putting, disturbing and offensive to the eyes as everything else they do. genuinely revolting from any possible point of view - unless you're a true monsterfucker. a ritual so gross that, for us, it resembles nothing but a cacophony of unthinkable horrors molding together wetly, but that, to them, feels nothing but heavenly from beginning to end. as close to divinity as such wretched demons/creatures are ever going to get.

anyways. enough, my apologies-

the conclusion is that...me shipping these two isn't even about wishing they'd get together, because, in their fucked up way, they already are. it isn't about spiting other fans either. it's about having fun coming up with increasingly nonsensical scenarios hoping to come close to their freak ✦

Did you think I forgot about it? The Halloween vocaloid playlist is done!! I'll include the links in a reblog so Tumblr doesn't bury the post, there's a YouTube playlist and a Spotify one, the YouTube one being the longer one with nearly 100 songs... yeah, I got carried away lol Reminder for those who have forgotten/not in the know, this playlist starts with cute lighthearted songs about Halloween and monsters, and gets darker in tone and sound the deeper down the playlist you go

I don't want to make the post too long so I'll just include a general content warning for the songs in the playlist, and under the cut I might list all the songs and ramble a bit about what it was like to make the playlist. I hope you enjoy!^^

Content Warnings: flashing lights, bright images, loud sounds and jumpscares, disturbing images and noises, death, body horror, gore, cannibalism, abuse, stalking, potentially paranoia-inducing songs/lyrics

The playlist has been done for days, I've just been procrastinating on actually making the post until now lmao sorry! I had a lot of fun making the playlist and going through the suggestions, it also made me fall in love with some producers I hadn't paid much attention to before (shout out to all of the people who sent in Babuchan suggestions, as you can see I went down a bit of a Babuchan rabbit hole and added tons of his stuff to the playlist, same for machigerita lol)

I'll admit that one of the reasons the playlist kept getting longer was because I'd look at other creepy/scary vocaloid playlists on YouTube for inspiration, and every time I was nearly done I would write down 20 more songs to check out, which is why it took me a whole month to get this playlist done lol. I hope it was worth it! I'm very pleased with how it all turned out

There were also many songs/producers I really liked but decided not to include in the playlist, for example I found DaijoubuP, who I really like, but I didn't think it fit the vibe of the kind of Halloween playlist I wanted to make, so none of his stuff is in the playlist. Same goes for SEIKAI, his songs sound very creepy but I found the lyrics a bit too dark and I wanted to try to keep the playlist a bit more lighthearted. Maybe I'll make a more general vocahorror playlist sometime to highlight all of these producers' work! Who knows

Something else I realized because of this playlist is my standard for creepy vocaloid music might be a bit different than other people's. I got many Maretu suggestions, and I love the guy and completely understand why some of his music was suggested (such as Coin Locker Baby), but it surprised me just how much I'd see him suggested in the notes of my post or in Spotify playlists, he's never really given me the creeps even with his darker lyrics. Not judging! Just an observation I had

You'll notice that I've been using vocaloid as a bit of an umbrella term, since there are a couple of songs that use UTAU and even Synth-V voicebanks^^

I think that's all I have to say for now, so I'll just list all the songs in the playlist and hurry to put the links in a reblog! Thank you so much to everyone who helped with the playlist, all of your suggestions were really appreciated, I would not have as good a playlist if it wasn't for you^^

The song list is mainly because I tried to link back to the original producers whenever possible, and also sometimes the songs were very hard to find, so a lot of the titles are in Japanese, so I figured having the songs and producers written out here would make it a bit easier for you to navigate the playlist^^ Anyway, songs:

Thx you for requesting this if you did! Can you do slashers with an s/o with hearing problems and seeing problems if you can boths or either ones good!

I feel I need to do longer slashers, so I'll include more because i think my followers aren't getting enough from me

Also I have no idea what kind of hearing and eyesight problem so like..

Michael 🔪 (both)

Why u so weak? *uncle Roger style* He questions when you talked to him about your issues.

Also likes it cause he can be even more sneakier on you if he wasn't already a professional at it.

It also depends on the time line Michael we're talking about. Rz will probably pity you and kind of help you out or something but original Michael is just 'ok bozo. Humans these days are so pathetic lol.'

If he's feeling nice on certain days he'll either drag you or point really close to somerhing or somewhere you're supposed to go. He'll advise you to get glasses and or hearing aids or get it treated whatever.

If it's way too expensive to get it treated Michael will just gesture that he'll kill whoever was treating you after you're finish, but you'll have to explain it to him that it's not that easy and you'll still have to pay. He looks at you with an unreadable look and then scoff which sounded like a sigh. (*sigh* life used to be so easy)

If it's an infection or diseases he acts unbothered but he's calmly panicking 'what the fuck am I supposed to do, I can't kill that'.

He'll appreciate your days together more if it ever got to that point. And most definitely go on an angry massive killing spree if you're gone.

Oh and I forgot to mention. He'll think you're even more fragile and shii. It would be very subtle but he's going to look out for you even more. He sometimes acts as your guard dog, or if you wanna put it in an even funnier way. Your cane.

Jason 🪓 (both)

You already know Jason is protective as shit. And upon learning about your problems he's basically the mom here now.

He's holding your hand or watching you from afar. Atleast it's better than staring at nature and water untill someone gets here.

I'm not sure much about dead bodies but I am sure all their senses go numb. I don't know how Jason does it but he knows every little trap and tricks here and there, so you can be safe.

A little harmless thing he takes advantage of is low key using your bad eyesight and hearing as a way to get close to you and hold you, he kind of feels bad about it but he can't help it.

He likes pranking you, like very sneakily creeping up behind you and awoop, jumpscare. He'll apologize if it greatly startled you.

If you let him he'd be carrying you everywhere. Also keeping you somewhere when the horny teenagers come and disturb your little cottage life together.

Big who is insecure about himself 🤝 s/o who has eyesight problems (and hearing problems.) Match made in heaven.

He wants you to get that treated too but yk Jason.. He doesn't really understand life outside of the forest so he's just going to pick whatever glasses he can find from glass users and hope for the best.

Bro I'm so sorry this was the best of my abilities, you didn't specify what kind of problems so ideas just kinda went over my head I'm so sorry

Highway to Pail Day 4

[Day 1] [Prev] [Next] @do-it-with-style-events

February 4: I don't trust trees. They're shady.

Pestilence was making her way through the countryside again, and it rather dampened Crowley's mood. The bloody blasted plague was sweeping through England, making it difficult and depressing to travel even for a demon who wasn't able to contract human diseases, since nobody but him knew that and revealing otherwise was likely to get him discorporated. There was also the matter of the damned (literally) horse, a great hulking black stallion that despised Crowley and was despised in return. Blackie had tried to throw Crowley twice in the last hour, and had only failed because Crowley had miracled himself to the saddle.

He had to go tempt someone in Hull, of all the godforsaken places. Surely just living in Hull was punishment enough; no need to bring eternity into it.

Since he was heading north anyway, he figured he might try to make it over to see how Manchester was coming along this decade, and since that made an extended trip, he checked to see if Aziraphale needed him to pick up anything while he was out.

"Ah, a new set of orders just arrived for me this morning!" Aziraphale had said, bustling over to his desk. "Well, let's see. I've a spot of divine ecstasy to deliver in Hull from the last set; I've been putting it off but you know the poor lady must deserve it: living in Hull is trial enough for the soul. Hmm, Plymouth--ah, American Plymouth rather--, Swansea, Geneva... oh, here, there's one in Lincolnshire as well, you'll like this one, dear. 'Divine inspiration to more accurate human understanding of the underlying laws of the universe," that's much more your area than mine I should think, natural sciences and all that."

It was indeed much more Crowley's area; he liked hanging out with scientists and philosophers, the kind of humans who asked clever questions about how the universe worked and why. Aziraphale always gave him the good divine inspirations, cloaking it in ignorance of the physical laws that had always been second-nature to Crowley, though Crowley knew Aziraphale had enough understanding to carry them out himself. It was one of the reasons the Arrangement worked so well, he thought; they did each other little favors like this, gave each other jobs that were a bit fun.

And so here Crowley was, fighting with a horrible horse in the middle of nowhere during a plague year looking for a sheep farm. This part was not fun. This part, to be very clear, totally sucked.

Thankfully, Aziraphale had already interpreted Heaven's shaky-at-best approximations at where things on Earth were actually located, and given Crowley an address and a decent map of the area, so he located the sheep farm -- Woolsthorpe Manor, the map said -- with little difficulty aside from Blackie's enmity and a general sense of unease and malaise in the air.

He dismounted, setting Blackie to graze and to behave himself under threat of being sold for meat and glue, and took a moment to case the place. Sheep and pastures; biggish house and a bunch of sheds; orchard with some fruit trees. Aziraphale's orders hadn't been very specific about how the intervention should be achieved, but there'd been some balderdash about natural beauty and the circular nature of God's Plan For Life On Earth, and Crowley noticed an apple tree on the edge of the orchard, near to a window; he bookmarked that thought.

The target was called "Yitzhak the Lizard" in Aziraphale's orders, so he and Crowley supposed he was most likely called Isaac, but the family living at Woolsthorpe Manor was called Ayscough. Crowley suspected it would take a bit of detective work to figure out which servant Isaac was, and was still deciding how to approach when a young man in his mid-twenties jumpscared him.

Introduced himself as Isaac Newton, too, so that solved that.

Using just a touch of a glamour to make his presence seem a bit more natural and less like a potential vector of disease, Crowley chatted with the young man for a good while. Isaac was the grandson of the widow Ayscough, a student at Trinity College, sent home due to the plague, interested in optics and the laws of motion and, more than anything else in the world, mathematics. He showed Crowley his notebook full of notations, letters with little dots over them equaling other letters, which Crowley couldn't follow, and explained the logic of it, which Crowley could. Heaven, he thought, had wanted Aziraphale to arrange a divine intervention into Isaac's mathematics, but Isaac had that well in hand already: it was well beyond what anyone else on Earth had thought up, and he was still a student.

As evening drew in, young Isaac invited Crowley to supper and shelter for the night, which he accepted politely, and to board Blackie in the stables, which he accepted with vicious glee. Making Blackie someone else's problem for a bit always put a little varnish on their souls while also relieving him of needing to lift a finger or deal with the damn horse.

As they passed through the orchard, Isaac ran his hand through the leaves of low-lying branches. A gardener yelled across the field not to disturb the apples, to which the young man just smiled.

Well. Crowley knew a thing or two about apples and Plans, and the kid had wondered why things move the way they do.

As they passed under a lovely straight Flower of Kent, Isaac Newton disturbed the leaves and a large, green, perfectly round apple miraculously imbued with insight into the observation that "things fall down" fell out of the tree and smacked into his skull.

As he stopped to rub his head while Crowley tried not to laugh at him, the young man asked: "I wonder how far an apple could fall? Not just from the tree, that is, but why not from as high as the moon?"

Crowley just smiled enigmatically, which Isaac took as encouragement, and mentally began drafting a memo for Aziraphale to send back up to Home Office.

---

Author's note:

Everything's as close to accurate to real life Isaac Newton and Woolsthorpe Manor as I could get it, except his personality (which I understand was curmudgeonly in his old age, but I have no idea about him as a youth) and the fact that he didn't *actually* have an apple fall on his head, probably. 1666 was indeed the year he first started developing both calculus and the law of gravitation.

I'm sorry for picking on Hull! I'm sure it's a lovely city. I chose it as the place Crowley was going for a temptation (and a divine ecstasy) because that's the place specifically called out as an example of the arrangement in the book, and so is Crowley getting free reign over Manchester (page 50 in my paperback). And hey, if he's already going north....

The actual pun didn't quite make it in, but hey! Trees!

[camprell-art]

Hi! Love the art on your blog. I was curious, what's your history with SPM? Like, is there a specific thing about the game that incentivised you to draw SO MUCH incredible stuff on the game? Also, are there any head canons that you have for the Bleck Crew in your interpretations? Awesome stuff! Have a nice day! :O

Hello! So when I was a little tiny child I liked to see fanart and gameplays, so one day I saw a thumbnail and thought "oh this game looks quirky/pos", and I watched some videos and then became obsessed. Dimentio was my special little guy at that time too, I would always draw him and suffer with it because he has too many straight lines akshjd

So after I started really understanding the game, because I was 8 to 12 years old and English is not my native language (XD), I saw how cool the little details in the lore were, so time and time again I was trying to piece everything together in different ways, and while I was doing it, new headcanons appeared and more inspired I was to draw my ideas, or at least write some of them.

So about the Bleck crew, I have some headcanons for them, but if I talk about it here you'll get a 3 meter long post. I have an old post about it tho!

here!

Ah, I also have a compilation of panels that I made that illustrates their backstories very ominously, just be prepared for old art jumpscare (Mimi is particularly very different from how I draw her now)

here!

Some of them might be outdated since the post itself is extremely old already, but I think some of it is still valid. :)

The second one I'd like to redraw, but it'll be very difficult and I'm never in the mood to do so kjasdh

Thanks for the compliments, and I hope you have a very nice day too!

𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐮𝐩 𝐟𝐨𝐫 @karusenka

Your ideal match is…Rook Hunt!

♡ When it comes to being social, Rook is among the top 10 in NRC! There isn't anyone he hasn't approached and given a nickname, and somehow he manages to remember a least a few details about everyone he talks to. You both got to know each other through a long, animated conversation that no one remembers who started.

♡ Rook loves how you like to help others and make them smile. Receiving joy from helping others is such a beautiful trait to him, and he makes sure to tell you as such. He'll compliment you every day and write poems about you, which will be given to you as gifts. It might be unreal at first, but you'll soon get used to Rook's antics. He isn't love bombing you, he's just like that. When you're with him, you'll never feel overlooked or underappreciated. He sees you for the beautiful person you are, and he doesn't shy away from telling you.

♡ Rook is part of the Film Studies Club, where they produce their own movies for club activities, so he noticed your love for acting very quickly. It's a topic you both talked about a lot during the first few weeks of knowing each other, and he invited you to join one of their sessions to see if you would be interested in becoming a member of their club. He'd be so happy if you did eventually!

♡ Rook also keeps a positive and cheerful outlook on life, so you both would get along very well in that aspect! To everyone else who isn't as energetic, the both of you are like shining suns spreading joy and positivity. No one was surprised when you both got together.

♡ The both of you have similar haircuts. I found this point really cute, okay? The both of you look like you're matching. After you both started dating, he would visit your room in the mornings before class to offer to brush your hair for you. You can help him brush his hair too after a long day of hiding in bushes. His hat can only do so much.

♡ Rook doesn't get angry easily, so it's unlikely that he'll ever make you cry. But the same doesn't apply for others. He isn't the type to freeze up when someone gets emotional in front of him, so when he sees you crying in front of a surprised and slightly panicking person, he'll bring you away and ask you what happened. Tissues, a gentle voice, a calming hand on your back. He's quite good at calming people down. He'll even help resolve any misunderstandings with you if you want him to. You might try and say it's no big deal and he doesn't have to go out of his way for you, but he'll insist.

♡ Another key similarity the both of you have: Words of affirmation as your main love language! As I mentioned before, Rook is always complimenting you and telling you how much he appreciates the things that you do. He doesn't outright say "I love you" often, because he'd rather recite poetry about how beautiful your brown eyes are.

♡ Physical touch too, yes! Rook does seem like a touchy lover, so he's always happy to give you hugs and kisses. When you don't feel like it, he's very understanding and will give you some space until you cheer up again. He also likes princess carrying you around sometimes. Can he lift you? Yes he can, he does archery for hunting. Mans ripped.

♡ Rook also enjoys horror! Specifically the gore part, but it's horror nonetheless. The both would you would have such riveting discussions about the genre, it's common tropes, themes and character archetypes. Horror movie marathons are common dates during the weekends. Sometimes he'll play some horror games while you watch behind him. The jumpscares make you both scream.

・ ─ ・ ⋯ ・ ─ ⊹ ♡₊˚๑

For your convenience, here's some context for anything twst specific:

NRC stands for Night Raven College, the college the entire cast of the game Twisted Wonderland attends. Most of the cast is inspired by Disney villains, so NRC isn't a very welcoming environment. Nice people are in short supply.

Rook does go around complimenting whatever he finds beautiful, which is everyone and most things. For Vil's birthday, Rook wrote him 100 poems. He really is like that.

The age range of most of the cast is 16-18. Rook is 18, so there's no problem with you discussing NSFW things with him.

What's that point about hiding in bushes? Well... I'll leave that to you to deduce from what you can read about him from the wiki.

❝ All is NOT well in [___]. ❞

❝ We are working on it. ❞

❝ The point is that something is horribly wrong! ❞

❝ We aren't prepared to deal with situations like this. ❞

❝ Go see what you can find. ❞

❝ It has been jumpscaring me all day! ❞

❝ I think I found a clue as to what is happening! ❞

❝ You don't know as much as I do. ❞

❝ Whatever has gone wrong, we have to fix it. ❞

❝ It will be an adventure!❞

❝ How wonderfully convenient! ❞

❝ Be careful; things only get more dangerous from here! ❞

❝ I'm sure it's nothing you can't handle! ❞

❝ I'm not sure if you would find your way back up! ❞

❝ Be ready to fight! ❞

❝ Good luck! ❞

❝ This is a horribly spooky place. ❞

❝ I think I'll stay right here. ❞

❝ I don't think everything here is as it seems. ❞

❝ This whole place is full of illusion! ❞

❝ Looks like trouble up ahead, but you should be used to that by now. ❞

❝ You should be used to that by now. ❞

❝ They look like abominations to me! ❞

❝ Don't get lost! ❞

❝ You don't really believe that, do you? ❞

❝ There is a task for you to complete. ❞

❝ The truth is that there is no safe place. ❞

❝ You don't understand that; you were made for one thing. ❞

❝ You were made for one thing. ❞

❝ You are being played. ❞

❝ You are being led through hoops. ❞

❝ Play along for now. ❞

❝ You are being pulled on a string for [their] amusement. ❞

❝ Yes, well, everything attacks at random. Doesn't it? ❞

❝ The one who pulls the strings is watching. ❞

❝ Follow the trail that they have created for you; play along. ❞

❝ One thing is true: nothing here is as it seems. ❞

❝ Everything else is a deception. ❞

❝ Nothing else matters. ❞

❝ Don't be deceived by the one pulling the strings. ❞

❝ Something terrible is coming. ❞

❝ It wasn't supposed to be like this. Now it's all a mess. ❞

❝ Now there is only one thing to do. ❞

❝ I'm impressed. ❞

❝ What are you doing here? Can't you see that I'm busy? ❞

❝ I didn't know what else to do. ❞

❝ I don't want to disappoint people. ❞

❝ My mind isn't right. ❞

❝ I've made something terrible. ❞

❝ I'm sorry. ❞

❝ There is no way back out. ❞

❝ Come have a seat. ❞

❝ Let's fish for a while. ❞

❝ You have nowhere else to go. ❞

❝ That's some real dedication. ❞

❝ Great job! ❞

❝ There is always an over-achiever in the bunch. I guess that's you. ❞

❝ So it's your fault then, for my misery. ❞

❝ It's never enough for you people. ❞

❝ Don't you get it? I can't do this anymore! ❞

❝ It is time to put you in your place. ❞

❝ Was I REALLY the villain in your mind? ❞

❝ I just do what is demanded of me! ❞

❝ Ug. Grr...Zrr...GRAAAAAMMM!! ❞

❝ This isn't fair... ❞

❝ It was never fair. ❞

❝ It was supposed to be me. It was always supposed to be me! ❞

❝ You haven't seen the last of me. ❞

❝ We are still your friends. Do you believe that? ❞

❝ Let's start with something simple! ❞

❝ I have faith in you! ❞

❝ You can do it! ❞

❝ Aww, don't give up! ❞

❝ You'll get it eventually. ❞

❝ Is this your first time playing a video game? ❞

❝ Keep up the good work, sport! ❞

❝ Awww! It's so cute when kids try to play games! ❞

❝ Wow! What a moron. ❞

❝ You suck! ❞

❝ You still suck! ❞

❝ Aww, I'm laughing at you, not with you. ❞

❝ Um, learn to play? ❞

❝ Ha! Poser! ❞

❝ Get some skills and call me in the morning. ❞

❝ Dumbass. ❞

❝ I'm losing patience with you! ❞

❝ This is your last chance! ❞

❝ I'm gonna kill you!! ❞

❝ Didn't your mommy ever tell you that you can't kill a rainbow? ❞

❝ The next time you see a rainbow in the sky, that is ME, coming to your house! ❞

❝ What's this, a space shooter? ❞

❝ Holy crap! Is that my voice!? ❞

❝ Sorry I'm late for the party. Fashionably late, of course! ❞

❝ Do a barrel roll! ...Sorry, I'm not sure what came over me. ❞

❝ You won't get tired of my voice, will you? ❞

❝ At least I went down in a blaze of glory! ❞

❝ You haven't seen the last of me! ❞

❝ ...Well, actually, yes, this is the last you'll see of me. ❞

❝ Welcome back! I hope you are ready for even more adventure! ❞

❝ Look, is it okay if we just cut the crap here? ❞

❝ What are you even doing here? ❞

❝ I've already put in my application at the Fazburger down the street. ❞

❝ Go find yourself a nice indie horror game. Get some hot chocolate. I don't care. ❞

❝ Don't let that discourage you. ❞

❝ There is still a lot of adventure to be had here! ❞

❝ It's not all fun and games. ❞

❝ There is an important task that you must accomplish. ❞

❝ There, are you happy? Enjoying the freak show? ❞

❝ Oogie, boogie, boogie! ❞

❝ You know how all of this works, right? ❞

❝ When someone visits my house and I want them to go away, I just answer the door like this. ❞

❝ I'm like BOO, and they're like WHOA, and I'm like YEAH! ❞

❝ It's time for a reality check. ❞

❝ Take this chump stick. You need to find [___] and hit [them] in the head with it. ❞

❝ One time, I answered the door to some Trick-or-Treaters like this...they were like "trick or treat!", and I was like..."I'LL EAT YOUR SOUL!" ❞

❝ They ran away screaming and crying. Man, good times. ❞

❝ Hey, do you want to build a snowman? ❞

❝ Just kidding, I already made one. And I gave him two heavy-armor Gatling guns.❞

❝ One time, I mailed myself in a box to my grandmother looking like this. I jumped out and was like- "BOO!" Yeah. RIP. ❞

❝ Fun fact: did you know that if you took out all a person's blood vessels and lined them up, end to end, in a straight line...that person would die. ❞

❝ Find the clock, and set it back an hour. Daylight savings tonight. ❞

❝ I can hear [___] laughing from here. It's like nails on a chalkboard. ❞

❝ You need to beat that fool upside the head with the Chump Stick! Everything depends on it! ❞

❝ Don't check the tree in the back corner. That's everyone's business tree. ❞

❝ Let the Chump Stick guide you! ❞

❝ I once knew this guy who would put ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise all on the same plate together. Then he would stir them into an orange goo. People like that are the real monsters. ❞

❝ You've been through a lot. ❞

❝ I am ready to reveal myself. ❞

❝ You see, I've been there all along. ❞

❝ It was me. ❞

❝ I caused the Bite of '87. ❞

❝ It all makes sense when you think about it. ❞

❝ All hail Bouncepot! ❞

❝ But did you know that I can touch my nose with my tongue? Both of them! Yeah, you didn't know that. ❞

I understand your take on everthing, I just wonder, if the Golden Freddy kid isn't the vengeful spirit, and isn't Cassidy, and isn't this and isn't that, then how come they get singled out so much? Like I would believe everything you say, but then we have a kid that's no more important than the others, that we're given less info on for no reason?

Whereas with her being the vengeful spirit, being Cassidy, there is at least a reason why we don't have the reveal at the same time as the others

personally, i think the reason they're singled out is just that... golden freddy is technically a secret character. if you play all the games without looking up lore inbetweem there's a good chance you'll have no idea what golden freddy is. both the og and withered resemble the original freddy costume if you see them, the jumpscares rarely happen, and the connection to fredbear is just presumed. if you don't pay much attention, you might have no idea where that fifth missing kid even went. #MissingKid5IsInTheCupcake2k24

the hidden name/grave is probably just like, in reference to the fact that goldfred is hidden, too. in-gameverse, the significance of the kid is probably just that they're in a hidden animatronic, possibly with crying child. we get about the same amount of info on them as the other kids sans susie (who gets one optional scene in fnaf6 and a short story in a tie-in book), just the name's missing, unless you do believe the logbook is telling us their name is "cassidy." of the five missing kids, goldfredkid is singled out only really in the "give gifts give life" minigame, which again references golden freddy being a hidden character.

anyway if i could ask mr cawthon to confirm anything it wouldnt be anything major i'd just want some info on the missing kids like come on they've been a lore staple from game one why dont they even have last names

Modern Film Critics are Fucking Idiots.

Like, occasionally, you'll find some poor schmuck working for some big publication that clearly doesn't understand the "Rules" of film criticism in journalism (IE - if people like the movie, it must be bad. Only big corpo movies are allowed to be good.)...but more often than not, it's these self-important, self-aggrandizing, self-entitled soybloggers LARPing like they're the next Gene Siskel or Robert Ebert, like their opinions mean dick diddly.

Like, if a film adaptation is meant to be a love-letter to the community that surrounds the source material of said film? The producers knew who they were aiming the film at, it's not your fault that you're not in that group. See it for what it is, call a spade a spade, and move the fuck on. Report on the numbers. Don't feel the need to drag a film through the mud just because YOU didn't get it, Kyle, everyone else seems to be having a fun fucking time, so apparently YOU might be the one who's wrong, here.

Not every fucking movie needs to be some "Masterwork of Cinema" like some Scorsese Snob flick, the whole POINT of going to the movies is to turn your brain off from the world of reality, escape into some cinematic fantasy, and enjoy some overpriced popcorn in a nice, dark, spacious, climate-controlled theater with an amazing sound system.

Alone, with friends, with family, etc. you get the idea.

Most recent example I can give is the Five Nights at Freddy's movie. Was it a bad movie? No. Was it a bad adaptation? No. Was it good? Surprisingly? Yes. It was (for the most part) faithful to its source material, didn't take too many creative liberties with the IP to the point of making it unrecognizable to the source (Looking at you Resident Evil/Silent Hill/Monster Hunter/Any number of other adaptations)...like, this was a movie made with FNaF fans in mind, and it clearly shows and wears this fact on its sleeve.

A common complaint I see from "Critics" is that the movie "Deters Too Far From the Game's Elements" like...what, you want the whole movie to be Mike, sitting in a stuffy security office, flipping through cameras, locking doors, and suffering ten thousand jumpscares? 6:00 AM rolls by, bell chimes, roll credits? Really? That's what you want to see? When you see a review that says "There's too much plot" like...what? This shit reeks of the whole "Too Much Water" review from the Ruby/Sapphire remakes, y'know? (Doesn't help that it was from an IGN review, as well...)

TL;DR

If the Audience Score on a film is much higher than the critics' score? the movie clearly wasn't made for said critic, or they simply weren't being paid by a corpo to suck the film off like they were holding their family hostage at gunpoint. Critics are entitled to their opinion, yes, I agree, no matter how wrong their opinion may be, they are entitled to it. They just need to stop acting like they're the fucking arbiters of entertainment.

A START OF AN OBSESSION WITH YOU PART 5

[TYSM FOR THE LIKES!!!! ILL TRY MY BEST TO QUICKLY FINISH THIS!! I have lots of work for school to finish]

[There might be errors in here I'm so sorry about that, I type quickly so I don't notice many mistakes, my English may not be the best 😓I deeply apologize about that :''( ]

YANDERE

TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️🚨

Includes

-blo0d

-death

-pain

Skip if you're sensitive!! :(

As you still hide in vent you quickly but as quietly you crawl behind. AMBUSH still standing outside of the vent,his power light green light blinding you.

You shrink down and cover your face with your arms, as you try your best to crawl away, you hit your back to the wall of the vent, and a loud crash. You slowly tilt your head upwards, before looking at AMBUSH. He was getting much-agitated more every second you would try to back away from him. His screams were getting louder each minute.

That's where you started to crawl faster, bumping to the vent walls not caring how much it hurts you. You had to get AWAY from him, or else he could have hurt you.. even kill you. As you started to crawl quicker to the exist, AMBUSH yells of frustration we're getting much louder than before.

He wanted you to obey, continue acting like this and you'll face the consequences. You ignore his screams, and continue your way to the exist, you finally reach the end of the vent. You dash to the door ignoring all the shelves not wanting to see anymore entities, AMBUSH yells were fading away. You couldn't hear him anymore, looks like you were safe from his wrath.

As you entered the other room.. it looked completely normal? Maybe you wouldn't see the other entities anymore. So you continued to search through the shelves finding some coins, and thankfully bandages!

After looking through the shelves, you get yourself ready to leave this room. Carefully and quietly putting your ear to the front door, trying to sense any sounds just in case you weren't jumpscared by any of the entities. No sound in particular..you enter the room cautiously, that's when you feel your heart jump out.the next room had the walls and ground covered in blood,the stench strong flowing through your nostrils.

Walking much closer to the blood stains on the floors connecting to the walls, as your eyes trail up the walls you can see something written in blood..'DONT LEAVE' you feel like throwing up in disgust..throwing your hand to your mouth trying to hold in a cry. Who's blood was this? Was there another human here?no way..you know were the only one who entered this place alone..so who does the blood belong to..as you walked closer to the bloody mess in the corner of the room,you saw a puddle of dark blood,it was completely new fresh blood,not a single of it dry.

Which means the entire time you were in the vents trying to escape AMBUSH wrath..an innocent life was being brutally murdered in the other room. as you inspected the puddle of fresh blood, you saw something shine in the blood, as much as you didn't want to touch it due to respect.

You had to know who this belonged to. Your hand reaches to the shiny item,picking it up wiping the blood off it. As you carefully figure out what this item was..you drop the shiny item, your hands trembling you feel pain in your stomach. You throw both of your hands to your mouth trying not to puke. Tears come out of your eyes, you know what this was..it was a golden shiny ear piercing..which belonged to the red goblin who helped you.

'Who could have done this? Why him? He was no bad man!' you yell out anguished, the joyful red fellow who worriedly told you to escape this place with no more information for you to understand why. Holding the golden pericing tight, you put it in your pocket to remember him. Throwing your head down kneeling on the ground to give respect.

After you finish, you get up to enter the next door, you look back to the bloody scene. Dry tears on your cheeks, you wipe them off.. damnit you wished you had tissues for this. Turning the knob and entering the room feeling devastated and heartbroken.

You chuckle in pain after seeing the exact room you were in.

A long hallway, nothing in sight..it was time for SEEK to play.

No way in hell would he let you off the hook.. you know that someone had of snitched to him about your discussion with the fellow red goblin you became friends with. They all knew your plan.. and they didn't like a single of it. As you try your best to calm down, fidgeting your hands together, you walk closer to the end of the hallway, please... Not another chase.

Continuing to walk, you still hear nothing.. maybe SEEK wasn't here yet?.. you sign in relief, celebrating in the inside. Your happiness disappearing and celebration ending, after loud music started to play going through your ears. Your head snaps towards your back. Seeing black slime slowly appear at the end of the hallway door, long slimy hands protruding from the ground, a huge black liquid puddle appearing.

You witness SEEK come out of the small puddle, after SEEK finally gets out of the black gooey slime. He glares at you, not breaking eyesight. Your legs start moving, at first slowly walking then running to full on sprinting towards the exist. You have to run NOW!

SEEK runs close to you, more black slime protruding out of the small puddle growing into a much bigger puddle then before. You feel sticky hands grab onto your legs, tripping you on the ground. A loud grunt comes out fo your mouth. His slime puddle grows larger, two long slimy hands grab your waist holding you, dangling you left to right. You can't escape now, he has you!

as you struggle into the hands wrath, they tightly grasp onto you, pain in your bones. SEEK gets closer, the slimy hands lowering you down to him, his face next your face. As the hands make you face him, you have thousands of thoughts on your mind yelling at you, 'do something! Quickly! Or else he will kill you'

You finally think of something, it may not work but you'll risk the chance. As embarrassing it will be, anything for you to survive.

“You've been trying to pursue me for quite some time, Shard. And I'm pretty sure you don't intend on going the romantic route with me.”

Victoria couldn't fight back the urge to scoff, crossing her arms over her chest whilst Touma didn't look at her.

"I'm merely trying to offer you something, Kadokawa. Something that could greatly benefit you."

From the words that left her mouth, she successfully intrigued Touma. Turning his head, he rose a brow at her, curious as to what she had to say next.

Sighing, she walked somewhat closer to the student of Terrovania.

"So, Shard, what's your offer?"

“I will give you access to my riches.”

For a minute, and only a minute, Touma paused before he could respond to her…. Unexpected reply."Pardon? Call me crazy, but I don't think I get what you mean."

Now, Touma's entire body was facing Victoria. Naturally, the woman kept her response to his query short.

"My offer, Touma; I will give you access to spend my riches as freely as you please, with no limit to how much you can spend."

".... Go on," Victoria smirked, knowing she reeled him in.

"This is how it will work," she began, walking closer to Touma to the point she was slightly towering over him. Thankfully for her, Touma wasn't all that insecure over the height difference.

"Every week I will come to Terrovania, my credit card in hand, and will hand it to you to spend as much as you wish." The smugness in both her tone and expression felt oddly pleasing, yet simultaneously irritating.

"I don't quite understand," Touma narrowed his eyes, "Why would you allow me access to something that is clearly private?"

His face inched closer to Victoria's.

"Tell me, Shard, are you trying to manipulate me?"

That got a chuckle out of her.

Touma then felt Victoria gently hold his chin, inching ever so closer to her. It almost felt like they lacked proximity between each other's faces.

"I'm simply trying to win you over and have you become an asset to me…. Is it working?"

It was Touma's turn to chuckle, and he - equally as gently - removed Victoria's soft yet calloused hands from his chin.

"It most certainly has."

Her smile became all the more prominent. And it was as sinister as it could get."Good," was what she said next. Yet the lack of proximity between her and Touma didn't change. Not in the slightest.

"but, there's one condition you must comply with, Kadokawa. Or am I given the right to call you ‘Touma’?"

His silent glee transitioned to a visible frown."I beg your pardon?"

Victoria turned around, preparing to walk away from Touma. But she still gave him his answer before she did.

“If you want to use me, allow me to use you; All you have to do is manipulate the people I tell you to deal with.”

"Surely it can't be that simple."

“It isn't. But you'll know more soon.”

And with that, she walked away, leaving Touma speechless and partially amazed.

♝•°•═════ஓ๑【 ♛ 】๑ஓ═════•°•♝

Once the conditions were met, Touma practically lived on Victoria's lap of luxury. With access to her credit card, and riches in general, he's been able to dine wherever he wants; buy whatever he wants.

And it was incredible.

Now, that opulence didn't come without a cost, however. It was obvious, to both Touma and Victoria, that rumors began swirling around their relationship.

Hell, even Touma's cult-like following began glaring daggers at Victoria just by being near Touma. Which was both pathetic and hysterical, in her eyes.

Today, Touma was in his room, smiling to himself as he basked in the glory of the opulent jewelry he recently bought.

Until suddenly, he received a text from the girl who gave him this opportunity. Turns out one of the things he received other than Victoria's credit card was her phone number.

‘Meet me at Terrovania's common room. We'll talk in detail once you arrive’, she texted. Visibly perplexed, Touma shrugged before proceeding to go to their meeting place.

Victoria stood inside the common room of the dormitory, a hand placed on her hip with a look that screamed ‘You can't keep me waiting’.

Smiling his sweetest at her, Touma bowed ever so slightly at the woman. Taking ahold of her hand, he didn't even have the chance to gently kiss it, for Victoria had pulled it from his grasp.

Unusually, however, was the level of chemistry the two had. And they hadn't even begun their conversation.

Victoria arched a brow at Touma."Was that attempt truly necessary?" She asked him. His smile never failed to falter, but he did his best to keep that charming exterior while in the presence of his dorm mates.

It wasn't like he was trying to show his true self in front of them, to begin with. Not unless he was provoked.

"Would you have preferred it if it was, Victoria?" Ah. Right. She allowed him to call her by her first name.

She huffed."Not exactly, Touma." Her words were precise, calming even.

"Oh, forget about that," he said."What was it you wished to discuss…. In detail?"

The way he worded his sentence must've given everyone the wrong impression of what he meant. Victoria knew that, as did Touma. Not that it mattered, no one needed to know the full extent of their relationship.

Even if they got the wrong idea of it.

In a flash, Touma felt Victoria's hand on his chest, pressing her fingers - and more specifically her credit card - against his chest.

"As promised." Touma thought that was all she had to say, given that he was already on his way to taking the credit card from Victoria's grasp.

But, Victoria stopped him, pressing her finger on his lips."Patience, Touma." She smiled, tilting her head.

Taking hold of her wrist, Touma's gloved hand gently lowered her hand."Just cut to the chase, Victoria."

Victoria sucked in a breath.

".... Koral Larrane."

"I'm sorry- Who?"

"Koral Larrane? Daughter of Baron Larrane?"

"Yeah…. Doesn't ring a bell. At all."

Victoria hummed, "Of course, it doesn't. To be fair, she isn't worth your time, anyway."

Touma nodded slowly, impatiently waiting for her to continue. Then again, he made it seem as though he was being patient with her.

"So you're not going to cut to the chase?"

Victoria took a deep breath, before finally telling Touma what she intended to tell him moments earlier.

"I'm taking you to a noble gathering in a couple of hours." She finally said, leaning somewhat closer to Touma to place her credit card into his breast pocket.

“Buy your finest suit, sweetheart.”

And just like when she first offered her services to him, she walked away, her heels clicking against the floors of Terrovania's common room.

♝•°•═════ஓ๑【 ♛ 】๑ஓ═════•°•♝

Victoria whistled, eyeing Touma with intent as he looked…. Far too dapper in the designer suit he wore. Alongside that, he wore a brooch with an alexandrite.

“You certainly dressed for the occasion,” Victoria commented, continuing to look at Touma."I'm impressed."

Touma chuckled, taking his sweet time to stare at Victoria in her black dress with a simple black choker to match."I could say the same for you, Victoria."

Much like his brooch, the long sleeves of Victoria's dress had alexandrite fisticuffs, coordinating with Touma's brooch.

She wrapped her arms around Touma's, smiling in her usual ghost-like manner."Well, we mustn't waste time… Shall we?"

He side-eyed the woman, hiding his amusement."We shall."

The moment they entered the banquet hall, all eyes were on them. With Victoria's prominence in high society, it was easy for everyone to look at Touma because he was the one beside her. Not her father, nor any of her other relatives.

Touma would've taken his time to internally gawk at the extravagance, but then he remembered that that wasn't what Victoria had intended when she brought him with her.

So he didn't.

Victoria turned to face Touma, one hand on her hips while the other gently caressed Touma's face.

"It's off to work, Touma." She told him in a sweet, almost innocent-sounding manner, before walking off. Leaving the boy to his own devices.

And he got to work. With his captivating looks, Touma easily won over the other guests with his charm, brimming with confidence as they complimented him left and right.

But, he didn't forget to play some little two-faced tricks. Talking about other nobles behind their backs after having just talked to them, in order for the rest to no longer associate with them.

Sure this may be a plan Victoria concocted, but it seems I'm more than capable of executing them…. Touma thought to himself, smirking as another feud - one that was caused by him - between two nobles began.

His progress was practically seamless, and it didn't seem as though he'd tread on dangerous waters.

Until he, mistakenly, ended up running into Koral while he was trying to walk back to Victoria to speak of his progress.

Nevertheless, Touma kept his confidence high, and sent Koral one of his finest, fake smiles."Oh my, it seems I haven't met a woman quite like you." He stated, smiling, but not to the point it reached his eyes.

Koral giggled, feeling her face heat up."Thank you, sir…. You're quite dapper, yourself." She replied.

I already knew that. Touma wished to narrow his eyes at Koral but chose not to.

Koral looked at him with a disgusting impersonation of innocence."If I may ask, sir, what is your name?" She tilted her head, attempting to show off the way the light illuminated her hair, and failing. At least to Touma.

Touma barely gave her the pleasure of answering her question and began to walk right past her.

Until Koral grasped his wrist."Sir, you have yet to give me your name-"

Touma pulled his arm back, scowling at Koral."And I would've thought my eyes were enough of a message to tell you and your pea-sized brain that I'm not interested in telling you that."

He began walking towards Victoria.

"But I suppose I was wrong."

That was all he told Koral before he finally made his way to Victoria, who leaned against one of the pillars within the banquet hall, humming.

"It seems you ran into Koral." Touma could only scoff at the mention of the girl, which greatly amused the woman in front of him.

"I'm not afraid to say that my impression of her is that she's indecent…" he proclaimed loudly; if he had been a bit louder, the whole room at large would've been able to hear him.

Victoria held in her snort, "I see. Truly devastating that someone such as yourself had to run into her." Touma nodded curtly, appearing all the more smug.

As they parted ways, they continued to mingle with the rest of the guests in the banquet hall, seamlessly manipulating them to do exactly what they wanted them to do. And say what they wanted them to say, word for word.

Touma, after some time, felt bored. He knew of the opulence of most nobles' lifestyles, but he didn't realize how dull it actually is.

In fact, he felt pity for Victoria after concluding that noble society - in all of its dullness - was simply opportunistic. And nothing else.

All of a sudden, Touma heard a collective number of guests gasp at an unfamiliar scene behind him. Curious, he turned around and immediately felt an equally as unfamiliar shock and anger fill his vision.

Victoria with her head hung low, with the upper torso of her dress now drenched in what he can assume to be one of the beverages that were served to many of the other guests.

And Koral, eyes wider than saucers, with tears at the brim of her eyes. As if to act like she was truly in shock at Victoria's current circumstances, even though she was the one who spilled the beverage on her, based on the empty cup she held.

Clenching his fists, Touma walked up to the scene and took off his coat.

"You have crossed a line, lady Larrane."

"B-But lady Shard, I-I didn't mean to-!!"

Right before Victoria could counteract her adversary's words, she suddenly felt the unexpected weight of Touma's coat over her shoulders.

Turning her head, she locked eyes with the somewhat shorter man beside her."... Touma-" he cut her off, gently shushing her as he held onto her shoulders as gently as he could.

Ignoring whatever she had to say, Touma kept his narrowed eyes on Koral, who stared at him in shock. To the point, she dropped the glass she held.

"S-So your name is Touma…" Koral muttered, clutching her hands and keeping them close to her chest.

"Yes…." Touma barely put in the effort in responding. It didn't matter if he looked a bit ridiculous, holding onto Victoria's shoulders when she was significantly taller than him.

He had other matters to attend to.

Touma let go of Victoria's shoulders, crossing his arms and walking only an inch closer to Koral. He was ready to tear her apart. Verbally, at least.

"T-Touma i-it isn't what it appears to be-"

"Bullshit, Larrane. I'm pretty sure the room at large knows that you spilled that beverage on her."

Koral's breath hitched."I-It isn't-"

"Still playing innocent? Honestly, I should've known it was useless to try and prove this point to you," Touma scoffed."You're even more pathetic than I thought."

Anger flashed in Koral's eyes, her jaw clenching."I'll have you know-!!"

Touma lifted her chin, his smile far too sinister for its own good.

“There's no point in trying to continue playing the victim, you pusillanimous craven.”

"Why…. Why all this for her?"

Touma forcibly let go of her chin, beginning to guide a bewildered Victoria out of the banquet hall. And just like when they first entered, all eyes remained on them.

“I can't leave someone as incisive as her with the likes of you, can I? Fortunately, she has me by her side, so there's no point in trying.”

Hi Nem ^^ Hope you enjoyed this oneshot, given that it took like- a couple of days to finish-

I sincerely apologize if I got Touma's characterization wrong. But then again, based on your reaction to when I showed fragments of this in VC, idk if I should still worry about that or not 😭

Sending my apologies to everyone for that Koral jumpscare fr fr /j /j

Tbh, this oneshot could work as a standalone or as part one of this ‘Contracrual slowburn’ series

But other than that, I don't think I have anything else to say ^^

Again, Nem - and everyone at large - , I hope you enjoyed reading this oneshot <3
