Anyone got any Illyrian or Hewn city ocs?

I got one for each and I'm giving them angst all around (I mean, have you seen where they were born?) LOVE ANGST

Isolde:

Illyrian female

She's 90 years old

She fights to make Illyria a better place but no one takes her seriously

Got her wings clipped at 18 and later on ripped them off because there's no point in keeping them, had a nasty scar on her back.

She ended up giving up on this dream of hers and Illyria, moving to the spring court

She lives in a cave that she designed to her liking (get it?)

She has good parents who do their best to protect her. (might have to give them names later)

Hates Rhysand for not helping the women that suffer at the hands of men, leaving them to be crippled and used as broodmares.

Just like many Illyrians, she doesn't accept Rhysand as her high lord. Not the biggest fan of Feyre either. (Feyre using Illyrian wings even though she's aware the women get clipped: ☺️)

After her first week in the spring court, she asked Tamlin if he could possibly heal her back of her wounds where she tore off her wings and possibly grow her wings back when she found out of his healing and shapeshifting powers.

He does actually heal her wounds but for the wings part, he accidentally gave her dragon wings. Also the ability to shapeshift into a dragon. He was going to change it but Isolde stopped him. That was the moment when she accepted Tamlin as her high lord.

Personality wise, she's chilling most of the time and keeps to herself by resting in her cave.

She plans on getting her revenge for what happened to her and other Illyrian women (she may or may not slowly go mad with vengeance clouding her judgement)

Tamlin doesn't want her going back to Illyria in fear that she'll carry out her revenge plan.

What is her revenge plan? I don't know, can't think of something. But know that most of Illyria won't be safe (gonna turn her into a war criminal)

She's for the ladies.

Yara Nisa-Mortimer

Yara- small butterfly or lady of the waters (for this, it means lady of the waters). Nisa- has a few meanings but one of them is night. Mortimer- dead sea.

118 years old.

Was born in Hewn City as an only child to her parents, Nila Misa and Carys Mortimer. They're good people (I know, shocking)

Has great swordsmanship, great with knives and daggers, and spying. When you live in Hewn city, you need to know a few things in order to survive.

When she was 20, Rhysand came to pay a visit and while he was busy, she successfully snuck out of Hewn city, now free.

She also found out about the existence of Velaris and everything that goes on there. She was not happy at all.

Took her a week to reach the spring court as she would spend a day in each court for rest and food. By the time she made it, she looked like hell.

She didn't have enough strength and passed out but luckily, Tamlin was nearby and took her in.

She lives in a black cottage. She also chills in rivers or lakes in her "mermaid" form.

Aromantic asexual because the way men treated women down there terrified her and considering how women can get sold off, that was the deal breaker.

Here's how I imagined them since I can't draw for shit! Found the pictures all on Pinterest.

Yara:

dark sea nymph vibesss. THIS ART IS SO PRETTY (couldn't find credits for it)!

Isolde:

Yuhh. (The watermark I think is near the cloak on the right side but I can't make it out.)

[accio-victuuri]

so it’s not enough that yibo’s car door gets opened by a crazed fan days ago, trackers placed in his work van before, nasty rumors left and right, random people bullying him, melon accounts claiming they know things about his personal life and now this. “getting a fan pregnant?” at this point, even passerby who don’t know yibo at all are seeing a pattern. they just throw around random things to see if something sticks. none of them do because it’s all lies. i say that this is expected because he has btf promotions coming soon but i have come to realize that this should not be considered normal. these people can get away with basically a slap on the wrist and how about yibo? how about his reputation? the thing is these proceedings take very long to get a result. we don’t even have a resolution on the escort allegations, which yuehua already reported to the police and sued. level headed people can see through the lies but it’s out there. damage done.

just to show how pathetic this is, it’s a random girl commenting on another “beauty blogger’s” post. ( this online personality is somehow connected to du meizhou but like i don’t even care. so whatever.)

AND IF YOU LOOK AT HER PROFILE, It’s obviously a troll account. The number of followers and likes says it all. Also her intro bio. I mean. It’s so obvious why this dummy account was created. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

And now it’s deleted. See? They can stir shit up like this then up & leave. Their UID will be tracked and all that but see how fast they can disappear? In the meantime, Yibo and his team have to waste resources for this.

AND WELL THE CIRCUS CONTINUES. HAHAHAHAHAHA! This person is so dumb. You so dumb. So very very dumb.

After Yuehua released their statement, This girl posted an “alleged” photo of them and conveniently adds a blur effect. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ captioning it share picture.

What’s funny is netizens, not even yibo fans noticed that the photo have a watermark ID on it that’s not hers. If you’re not familiar with Weibo, if you upload something personally, it will automatically have your username as a watermark.

it ends in “ra” and looking at this troll’s username, it does not have “ra” on it.

moments later, it was discovered that it’s this photo she used. i mean. who. what. 🤦‍♀️ same initial watermark.

dude. let me just blur out a random photo of two people and say it’s me and yibo. that he got me pregnant. humanity really continues to disappoint me. 💀💀💀💀

Chinese netizens are known to gather evidence, I mean with the amount of scandals getting out, they already know how to verify things. Look at how they discovered what time and where that photo of CFY’s was taken. It’s no surprise they noticed this little detail and knew right there and then that this girl is a fraud.

AND THAT “BEAUTY BLOGGER” (李恩 LIEN_) gets criticized, now i see she posted like 4 short statements regarding it. Commenting on people. Basically distancing herself from it. Must be nice getting all the traffic while slandering Yibo right? Ugh. Disgusting.

It’s still on HS tho. but most ( if not all ) of the posts are ridiculing the troll account who lied. I mean, at least we have that……

I’m sad for Yibo. Angry at these jobless bottom feeders. Amused at their stupidity. Insulted that they think people are so easy to believe and manipulate. Please leave Yibo alone. Yibo-Official just opened their YT & IG yesterday for international fans, who is getting nervous again? Lol.

this is why he rarely interacts with people in public unless it’s a controlled crowd ( road shows for example and even then he is unresponsive once outside ), rarely posts personal things, has bodyguards with him at all times, keeps his distance etc. trying to avoid crazies and companies who want to see him get cancelled combined. and people wonder why he shouted at fans who were crowding at his hotel that one time? i mean, if you live the life that he does— i think shouting at people who are invading your privacy is actually being kind.

PEOPLE FORGET THAT HE IS HUMAN TOO. Ever since he started in this industry, it seems like he can never catch a break. C-ent is so dirty. 💀💀💀 I love everything that Yibo puts out : songs, live performances, dramas, movies etc but times like this I am reminded at what cost.

I have a quick question. Is there a good way to tell the difference between AI art and when someone just is not a good artist? Because many of the things you've pointed out I've seen in regular art done by artists just making poor composition or artistic decisions.

Hi anon! Sorry it's taken me months to get around to this question. Long story short, I've gotten some very nasty messages over the initial AI art post, and I needed some time to breathe. But I'm feeling better now, so on we go.

The biggest tell with mistakes that an actual artist might make is that AI artists will make beginner mistakes on pieces that require high-skill rendering knowledge. IE, the image doesn't seem to understand how to perspective a room or construct a piece of furniture, but DOES perfectly understand how light seeps through a backlit curtain. Yeah?

Unfortunately, some artists do have uneven skillsets, so that on its own is not enough to prove AI influence.

There are also AI-specific tells, like stringy lines connecting pieces of the image that should not be connected. The line of a leaf will trail into a doorway, two branches from separate trees will connect and fuse in a strange, melty way, and flowers and intricate details will be revealed to be highly-rendered bits of blobby, random noise when you look closer. Details that should match, like legs on a chair, are all mismatched. The image may become grainy in random places without rhyme or reason. And of course, there are the fake watermarks and signatures to look out for.

You have to study a lot of AI art to recognize the prevailing AI art "styles," if you will.

I think the biggest key is that it's never just one mistake. If an image just has six fingers, maybe the artist got it wrong. If there's just trees that connect branches, maybe the artist made an interesting stylistic choice. But if there's six fingers, weird grainy textures, AND trailing lines, that's a huge red flag.

No matter what, though, try not to harass people over AI art, on the off chance that they have an AI-esque style. Check to see if the person has a source for the aesthetic art they post (and check the source, sometimes it's just pinterest reposting.) If someone might be reposting or reblogging AI art unknowingly, let them know. If you suspect someone is pumping out unlabeled AI art and/or is claiming AI work as their own, block and move on with your day.

This stuff is getting more and more complicated to suss out as AI improves. I suspect that my old post is already getting pretty outdated by now.

Anyway, if anyone is worried about their art being stolen by tech bros, then I recommend looking into Glaze. Have a lovely day!

[pistachiozombie]

Hi, I was wondering if I could ask you something. I have severe anxiety over starting an art blog. One reasons is because I don’t have a drawing tablet yet and am only drawing traditionally. I know traditional art doesn’t do as well as traditional. The second reason is I’m terrified of getting hate, anon or otherwise. I’m also afraid of people stealing my art, because it’s happened in the past. I was wondering how you are able to do an art blog when you struggle with your own fears? Thank you!

Hey there! First, it's totally normal to feel anxious like this. I still feel that way from time to time! It's a big world out there. Just because you are drawing traditionally, doesn't mean it will get less views or attention. I always see some great art done in that medium! The quality of the photo of the drawing might matter - if you are drawing from your sketchbook, try buying a scanner (Here's an alternative; sorry i couldn't find anything cheaper) or maybe a camera that will have good lighting. You can import it into your PC and edit it as you wish. If you truly want to become a digital artist though, there's nothing wrong with that either! There are some cheap tablet options for beginners, I had a small Wacom the size of a basic mousepad my first time around. Here is one from best buy that's on sale! Here are some free art programs that you can edit & draw in: - Krita - Gimp - FireAlpaca - MediBang Paint

And for the last part of your message, the unfair truth is that is hard to avoid haters and bullies sometimes. It's even easier behind a screen anonymously. But remember, that's one person out of the tens of hundreds you will meet that will like your content. You should not let one negative person who is having a bad day let you choose what you do. You do not know them, and they are being nasty, so why does their opinion matter? People stealing art is frustrating as well, because that's happened to me too. I would try making a watermark for yourself and upload it on top/around the drawing. There is not a whole lot you can do unfortunately, but lmk if anyone has additional advice!

I hope this helps. Good luck!

Alright, this whole thing with Honey Impact is a clusterfuck, so I’m gonna make a rant (written with the help of friends) about it breaking every leg Honey Impact seems to think they can stand on. Buckle on in kids, because this is gonna be a long one.

Disclaimer: I am not a legal expert, but you do not have to be a legal expert to do some basic fucking research, which Honey Impact has clearly not done despite saying that they have.

First, it should be known that months ago Mihoyo released a statement asking people to stop supporting leaks and that they would be increasing efforts to deal with illegal disclosures of their unreleased content. This has been a long time coming, and honestly with the recent actions of leakers and/or dataminers, I think it’s deserved.

https://twitter.com/GenshinImpact/status/1372142018621706240

Second, unlike what many people seem to think, it is not unfair of Mihoyo to shut down Honey Impact’s site. It is within their rights. Honey Impact is sharing and profiting from content that does not belong to them. That is the bottom line of this. They do not own that content and they do not have the permission, nor the right, to share it.

Furthermore, Mihoyo did not go behind Honey Impact’s back to shut down their website. For example, if a streamer or youtube video infringes copyright, the company/corporation/individual/whatever entity holding that copyright would go to the highest power to tell the streamer or person who uploaded that youtube video that they’re infringing on that copyright, which would be Twitch and Youtube respectively. In this case, the highest power was the host domain hosting Honey Impact’s website.

https://twitter.com/HoneyDodogama/status/1436309421932548098?s=20

https://genshin.honeyhunterworld.com/2021/09/10/mhy-is-trying-to-take-us-down/?lang=EN

Heading on to the points from the 9/11 update Honey Impact shared on their website and on their discord blatantly trying to paint Mihoyo as the bad guy and claiming that what they’re doing is in fact not illegal and pretty much digging a bigger hole for themselves:

Here is where they claim they did some legal work to try and keep their website afloat. Honestly, it seems more like they were trying to find a way to keep doing their illegal work for profit.

1)    In their first point, they claim that the Terms of Service (ToS) is not a contract. That is incorrect. It is a contract. You may not have signed with your name in blood, but you agreed to it when you checked the little box(es) to access the game because a digital signature is still your signature. If you agreed to the ToS and you violate it, you can be held accountable for doing so. What kind of legal work are you doing that you don’t even know this?

2)     In this point they say that Mihoyo provides a software that requires Kernel level of access to your PC. First of all, you have to grant Mihoyo/Genshin this permission. It is like when an app on your phone asks you for permission to access your photos, your microphone, your camera, etc. Second, the Kernel level of access to your PC isn’t to steal and sell your information, install a virus, etc., but to enforce anti-cheat measures which is common in other games.

Furthermore, it has been adjusted to be as minimally invasive as possible and if they violated any rules or laws regarding invasion of privacy or if they made it so that your computer turned into a bitcoin farm, the Google Play Store and the Apple Store and other platforms would have removed Genshin Impact from their platform. (And Mihoyo would’ve gotten into a whole lot of trouble.) What kind of developer are you that you don’t even know this?

On top of their misleading accusations, they use cookie based ads on their own site. Aka the things that save and keep track of your emails, passwords, browser history, etc, and they sell it to the highest bidder without informing you of who or what it's for or giving you a single share of the profits they're making off the private information you have stored on your device(s) while accessing their site. So who is actually being invasive?

3)     Honey Impact does give credit where credit is due with the watermarks, but they host ads on the website and they run a Patreon asking people to support them in developing their website. Which is very hypocritical of them since they themselves said that they make 10kUSD+ a month and stated that they don’t want people in their discord server to donate to them. They also beg for donations in their streams.

They are not only illegally distributing someone else’s content, they are also profiting from it. This violates the fair use clause of copyright law.

This is like people taking artists’ work and selling them behind their back. Even if the artist is making bank compared to whatever you are making, it is still theft of intellectual property. You are pretty much reposting art that the artist has said not to repost. You are a thief. What kind of content creator are you that you don’t even know this?

4)     Unlike what Honey Impact has said, everything that is under the Genshin Impact banner, be it released content or unreleased is covered under the trademark that Mihoyo owns. As the owners of that trademark, they want Honey Impact to stop using their website to illegally share unreleased content that they illegally acquired.

Honey Impact also refers to their website as a fansite. But fansites generally aren’t for profit/have ad revenue, as profiting off of someone else's content goes directly against Fair Use, which they seem to think they are somehow entitled to if they scream about it loud enough… 

Just look at the Genshin Impact fandom wiki. There is a reason why they do not allow leaked/datamined/unreleased content on their page. (Because it is illegal!!!!!!!) Also, since Honey Impact was using Fandom, the host domain of the Genshin Impact fanwiki, as an example of an entity making money off of official content: first, Fandom hosts a lot more fanwikis than just the Genshin Impact fanwiki (which, btw, has no for-profit ads), which culminates in a lot more overall traffic compared to Honey Impact’s site of stolen goods. Which means Fandom needs more money.

https://twitter.com/HoneyDodogama/status/1436990491942342662?s=20

Second, again, the Genshin fanwiki DOES NOT POST UNRELEASED/LEAKED/DATAMINED CONTENT ON THEIR PAGES. BECAUSE DOING SO IS ILLEGAL. I don't know why Honey Impact thinks the fanwiki has that kind of content on its pages, but it doesn't.

Moreover, about not being subject to the NDA; it does not matter that Honey Impact, or anyone else on their team, did not sign an NDA. The crux of the matter is that the stuff they’re sharing doesn’t fucking belong to them. It is still theft of intellectual property.

Furthermore, this is not a grey area in law. Any company/corporation/individual/entitiy with a copyright has the right to tell other people to stop using their content protected by that copyright if they so choose. There has been precedent for this. D*sney is one such example as is Anne Rice.

As for other content creators that aren’t dataminers and/or leakers, they have been sanctioned by Mihoyo to release the content they have been releasing. Don't drag down other content creators such as streamers, artists, fanmerch creators, etc as they comply with a very much public list of conditions that Mihoyo has published to allow them to LEGALLY profit. They make fun of Mihoyo’s legal department not even being able to make a clear paragraph in English, yet Honey Impact’s English isn’t perfect either. So what if Mihoyo can’t spell? Honey Impact apparently can’t even read.

5)     What they are asking Honey Impact to do with their website is to follow the law. It is not some fraud company politics, it. Is. The. Fucking. Law. The reason they don’t want Honey Impact to have backups is because they’re not supposed to fucking have it in the first place. Furthermore, company politics has to do with what goes on inside the company, not what the company does to people/entities outside of it.

Ultimately, the stuff related to unreleased content of Genshin Impact Honey Impact has been posting on their website DOES NOT BELONG TO THEM. It’s bad enough that they were posting it without permission, it’s even worse that they were getting money for it.

Not to mention, with the way they have been acting, if you’ve been sympathetic and/or defending them, they really don’t deserve it. They added a pretty nasty disclaimer on their new website (which has since been deleted), which, by the way, can get them sued for libel, so that’s another charge on them, and also really shows how petty and childish they’re acting.

Moving on to how they claim they’re back, which at this rate won’t be for long, they say they’ve moved to an Amsterdam based server and that that server is non-DMCA compliant.

So Ionos, their former host server for their website, is, in Honey's words, "DMCA compliant" only in the sense that they take responsibility for the content posted on their platform(s) and domain(s). All that means is that Mihoyo has to go through the DMCA process with the company to officiate the start of the paperwork.

Moving to an Amsterdam server that claims to be "not DMCA compliant" doesn't mean they can't get struck by DMCA. It just means that the company disclaims any and all legal obligations regarding the content posted and it will be solely the content creator's responsibility. So all that means is that they'll get their DMCA even faster now because Mihoyo will not be legally obligated to send the paperwork to the hosting company before sending it to them.

By the way, DMCA laws are INTERNATIONAL. Just because you moved servers from the US to Amsterdam does not mean you suddenly do not have to follow DMCA laws. Also, Mihoyo does have a local EU branch to deal with such things in Europe.

Pairing: Jeon Jungkook x OFC

Genre: Secret AgentAU, Government AgentAU

Rating: PG15

Summary: Codename Black Panther sends a shock wave through one OT7 member as he grapples with what his orders mean to his life outside the organization. 

Codename: Black Panther

Present Day

           Jungkook walks into the offices of OT7, sunglasses on, smile on his face as he sends a text message to Cricket. He can’t deny it, he’s happy, like really truly happy and so deeply in love. It’s been a minute since he’s been in any sort of relationship, let alone with someone so dazzling, electric as her. He didn’t mind the fall because it felt too great, too inviting, too much like home. Returning from his training at headquarters, he’d made a bee line to Cricket before returning to the dorms the next day, alerting the others to his suspicious absences. They didn’t pay it much mind, which put Jungkook on high alert. But not too high, after all, the cloud of love has him soaring.

           “Jungkook,” Namjoon calls, pulling Jungkook’s eyes away from the text he’d just sent and to the conference room. Everyone is seated around the table, tablets and computers strewn about, coffee cups and refills waiting patiently to be consumed. Yoongi growling about something, Jimin trying to reign in the negativity that was so unnecessary this early in the morning. Jungkook, upon glancing up at the screen, stops dead in his tracks, eyes wide, taking in the image in front of him.

           “Why, why is her picture, why is her picture up there?” He stutters.

           “Black Panther?” Hoseok’s voice increase by an octave, confusion evident in the heightened pitch and arched eyebrows he addresses at Jungkook’s change in demeanor.

           “Why is she up there?” He demands, finger still pointing at the screen. “Whose mark is she?”

           “Black Panther?” Hoseok asks again.

           “Sit, I was just about to brief everyone,” Namjoon says, pointing to Jungkook’s chair. He sits next to Jimin, who eyes him suspiciously. Jungkook knows that Jimin knows, the slight eyebrow raise, the words unsaid. He’s absolutely fucked.

           “What’s got you so hot and bothered?” Yoongi asks. He doesn’t look at Jungkook, just listens to the horror lingering in his voice. “You know her?”

           “That’s an understatement,” Taehyung adds, sipping his tea and watching the scene unfold.

           “Kook?” Yoongi asks.

           “She’s, she’s my girlfriend,” Jungkook tells them, eyes still the size of saucers, heart percussing like a high school marching band in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade.

           “What?” Hobi’s jaw drops. That was the problem with forgery and documentation, he thought, always the last to know.

           “You’re shitting me,” Yoongi cackles.

           “Is this going to be a Cupid part 2?” Seokjin asks, eyes warily glancing from JK to Joon. “What was that mission called?”

           “Codename: The First Heartbreak,” Hoseok answers.

           “Who told you?” Jungkook requests.

           “Who do you think?” Namjoon responds.

           “You were tailing me?” He seethes.

           “We weren’t tailing you, we were tailing her,” Taehyung corrects him. “There were too many coincidences, and then,”

           Namjoon changes the slide, and there is all the proof OT7 needed. Jungkook and Y/N, holding hands, kissing, arms around each other… Photographic proof from the last eight or so months that they were indeed dating.

           The wind is knocked out of his lungs as he collapses into his chair. One photo and he could’ve downplayed it, but an entire series spanning season changes? How long had they known?

           “How long has this been going on?” Namjoon demands, knowing full well it’s nearly as long as they’ve been tailing Black Panther.

           Jaw locking, Jungkook responds through clenched teeth, “A while.”

           Jaw locking to mimic Jungkook, Namjoon grinds his teeth. “How long is a while?”

           “Shouldn’t you know?” Yoongi interrupts.

“A few months,” Jungkook responds.

           “Months?” Hobi asks.

           “10 months, five days,” Jungkook clarifies.

           “Ten months?” Jimin yells.

           “We’ve only got proof of the last six!” Taehyung answers.

           “You’ve been sitting on this for six months?” Yoongi barks. “You didn’t tell me?”

“Are you in love?” Seokjin questions.

           “Is she in danger if I am?” Jungkook doesn’t look to his hyung, eyes still staring down Namjoon.

           He shakes his head in response. “No more than she is if you aren’t,” Clearing his throat, he changes the graphic on the screen. “For the sake of this mission, we need to begin to isolate work JK from real world JK,” Namjoon instructs. “You can ask him questions about his dating life during off hours.”

           “Black Panther knows about your job?” Yoongi asks.

           “She knows that I work for a government agency, doing a variety of tasks, but that’s it,” Jungkook informs him. “I asked. I asked you if I could tell her-

           “You asked if you could tell the person you’re dating, you never said it was her,” Namjoon snips. The tension has moved through his entire body, clenching his muscles.

           “How was I supposed to know she was the one you were following?” Jungkook bites back. “You didn’t say anything!”

           “I am not obligated to,” Namjoon responds. “And you asked so early on, I didn’t know.”

           “Didn’t know she’d become a pawn in your games?” Jungkook asks.

           “You had been dating a few months, I didn’t know she was going to be a part of this.”

           “But when you found out, you kept it to yourself, so you, Jimin and Taehyungie could plot and plan,” The accusation sits low in his brows, scraping the bottom of his vocal register against the truth he’s desperately seeking.

           “Jungkook,” Namjoon clicks his jaw, his tell, and Jungkook prepares for the battle by cocking his eyebrow, daring Joon to make a move.

           Using his analytical mind to read the room, Seokjin uses his place as the eldest to break the tension. “Does she know you are connected to us?”

           “No, she doesn’t know that we’re connected, but she’s asked about the tattoo,” Jungkook informs them.

           “I told you not to get that stupid-

           “You’re the one who sent her notes on watermarked paper!”

           “That was one note!” Hoseok interjects. “It was one note, and I will not rat out whoever did it, but it was handled.”

           “Focus on what matters,” Seokjin interjects.

           “The intimidation you’ve been sending her for months?”

           “Jeon,” Namjoon’s choice of last name does not go unnoticed, and Jungkook shrinks into himself.

           “I can’t tell how pissed Joon is,” Taehyung says, eyeing their leader. “Is this Yoongi forgets to turn on his recorder during a meeting about an Agust D mark, or Hoseok putting the wrong date on the –

           “Why are you dragging us into this?” Yoongi asks.

           “Say something,” Jungkook whispers.

           “How did you two meet?” Namjoon wants to know.

           “In a bar,” Jungkook answers. The room is silent, everyone negotiating whether to leave it at that, or press on. They know what Namjoon said, but clearly that doesn’t apply today.

           Yoongi just wants the kid to be happy, the youngest of the 7, he’s been indoctrinated with OT7 nonsense since before he had a say, raised to be a top operative in all fields, Jungkook has unwillingly given up the most.

           Hoseok, ray of light that he is, feels similarly to Yoongi, though with less guilt.

           Taehyung and Jimin, however, exude an air of being completely pissed off by the news.

           “I can’t believe you didn’t tell us,” Jimin says.

           Taehyung nods, “Aren’t we brothers?”

           “I didn’t want to spoil it, or for you to go digging. I didn’t want to know anything other than what she’s told me. If I told you, well, you’d do your job a little too well.”

           “If you asked, we wouldn’t have,” Taehyung tells him.

           “You’re mad at me,” Jungkook states.

           “It sucks to find out your brother is dating and potentially in love with someone through your job, not from them,” Jimin answers.

           “You didn’t even hint that you were together,” Taehyung adds.

           “You didn’t tell her about us?” Jimin asks.

           “She, she knows a little, but not your names. I didn’t know, I didn’t know this was her case, or that you’d be watching her.”

           “Some operative,” Yoongi scoffs.

           “Min,” Namjoon warns.

           “Alright, sorry,” Yoongi’s hands are raised in surrender, his smirk tilting his lips.

           “She knows, Jungkook, about us,” Taehyung’s voice is soft. He was always the most delicate with Golden Maknae, something he’d developed when they trained together.

           “I know,” The crown of his head is all that can be seen.

           “How?”

           “You think I don’t know? She’s, I don’t think she’s worried about me being a part of Cupid’s world, but she knows I’m somehow connected to you lot,”

           They sit silently, again, waiting for anyone to speak. Taehyung and Jimin have put some of the pieces together, in their secretive alcove of an office, away from Yoongi’s gaze, they refused to mention that they had potentially fucked up, let alone dragging Namjoon into the errors. As they wait, Yoongi and Hoseok’s nonchalance oozing through the men. Jungkook’s shoulders relax, eyes closing, head resting against the back of his chair. He can’t hold back the tears that are falling, the fear and desolation pulling them down his chin.

           “Jungkook, I am going to ask you to do a few things, and when I ask, you are going to do them in a timely manner, and not argue with me about it, do you understand?” Namjoon always inevitably breaks the silence. His words, a formality they all were expecting.

           “You’re giving me a direct order?” Jungkook clarifies.

           Solemnly nodding, a gesture that surely would tip his entire body into a bow if he was standing, Namjoon replies, “Yes.”

           Mimicking his action, Jungkook nods before speaking, “Can I refuse?”

           “No,” Seokjin answers for him.

           Jungkook looks to Seokjin, whose brown irises are fervent behind his spectacles. He understands the pain that comes with having a girlfriend that OT7 wants to use. He’s been through the heartache of breaking up because work demands it. Staring back at him, Jin knows what he went through with Cupid is nothing like JK and Black Panther, when love is involved, it raises the stakes exponentially.

           “You need to send in photos of her evidence, the ones not transferred to her computer,”

           “The ones she keeps in her surveillance bag,” Jimin answers.

           “You will wear a wire and conform to the set of rules that your predecessors have followed,” Namjoon continues.

           “This is a real relationship, a woman I care about deeply, someone I want a future with. You, I won’t.”

           “You don’t have a choice,”

           “Send me on assignment, send me to headquarters or to Tanzania, send me somewhere but please, don’t make me do this.”

           “Jungkook,” Yoongi, ever soft for his maknae, saunters over to Jungkook. Crouching in front of him, midnight irises into midnight irises, he stares at the teared vessels. “We all have something we have to sacrifice, that we don’t want to put on the line. Seokjin gave up something potentially wonderful, lord knows the danger we put TaeTae in. We all have to, at some point, make that move. Now it’s your turn.”

           “All for one and one for all, right?” Jungkook snorts, the snot dripping from his sinuses pulling back against the pressure.

           “You don’t have to lie to her,” Namjoon’s voice has softened, his sleepless nights giving way to the torturous job of being in charge.

           “You’re asking me to inherently lie to her, to pretend that I’m something I’m not, to sneak around and collect her information! That’s lying,”

           “Yeah, it is,” Yoongi stands, “But what else are you going to do?”

Next: The Final Notice 

[nahimjustfeelingit-writes]

Imagine: PRT THREE.

Reader gets a surprise visit from nasty Erik.

This was requested for another part. May be the final part because I didn’t plan for this lol. Wrote this today.

Part One. Part Two.

You had a certain pep in your step that didn’t go unnoticed. Heading towards your Micro Biology classs, books in hand and a blush on your face, you try and discreetly enter the classroom only to find eyes on you. Head down, you pull your hoodie further over your head, sitting down slowly so you wouldn’t gain anymore attention.l

Erik put it on your pussy last night. You ended up spending the night and fucking another two times after the first. After each hard fuck this man’s fat dick would just plump up and harden with the tiniest look in your direction. He loved the way you looked dressed in his large t shirt with your curly hair pulled back from your face. He would kiss your cheeks and stroke it with his thumb lightly, causing you to bite your lip and blush profusely.

He knew what he was doing to you. He was your new addiction and it had only been one night of him. As you open your laptop to begin typing, the vision of him burrowing deep inside of you with your legs over his shoulders had you rubbing your hands over your face. Your shoulders begin to bounce with excitement as you laugh, still perplexed that you even opened your legs and gave your tight pussy away to a 30 year old man.

A hung, freaky, pro of an older man.

“Miss Y/N?”

You hadn’t noticed that your Professor had been calling you the entire time.

“Your research paper, please?”

Your heart sank.

Fuck. You forgot to grab your written paper from your desk within your dorm this morning when you came back around 6:00 am. Brandy, your room mate and close friend, was knocked out on her bed, snoring and all. Brandy didn’t have an 8:00 am class like you did. And to top it all off your paper was also on a flash drive you forgot to bring to class.

“I’m so so sorry, I-“ you shake your head with disappointment in yourself. So much for a 100%

“I forgot to grab it from my desk this morning. I didn’t wake up to the alarm.”

Your professor nodded his head slowly, “Okay, you know how I feel about late assignments, correct? That will be a five point deduction from your grade, Miss Y/N.”

Your professor left it at that, returning back to the discussion about virology and parasitology.

“You know, this shit ain’t really like you, Y/N.”

That deep voice made you laugh. Your assigned partner and school friend, Lakeith, has to have something to say about everything you do.

“Lakeith, mind your business for once, please.” You sass in a hushed tone.

“I would if I wasn’t enjoying the fall of a supposed future Nurse Practitioner.”

With a death glare, you turn to him, his chestnut eyes always a hypnotic thing for you. Then he decides to smile, showing off his dimples.

They weren’t deep like Erik’s but they were still something.

“I got my shit on lock, Sir, worry about scoring higher than me on the TEAS, Mr. Future RN.”

“Baby girl,” he chuckles low, “My shit always on lock. Coming up in here like you just left a dick appointment.”

Your heart flutters. Was it that obvious? I mean, the dick appointment was hours ago but damn it was still written all over your face. You decided not to respond to that portion. He didn’t need to know.

“So, somebody hitting that and you down played every chance I offered? Wow.” He laughs to himself, leaning in towards you, practically all up in your grill.

“You getting some dick, Y/N?” He smiles, his shiny teeth almost blinding. Damn him for being this fine.

“Why are you checking for me so much?” You roll your eyes into your head.

“I’ve been checking for you. Don’t act brand new because you let some other nigga wow you.”

He smelled like cinnamon. Lakeith always smelled good.

But Erik smells like sandalwood and citrus.

Even Erik’s sweat smelled like cologne. The thought of him had you shivering down the spine, you focus your attention back on your typing.

“Yeah, you got a noticeable arch in your back that wasn’t there before.”

You heard a chuckle from Lakeith’s partner in crime, Marvin. Both of them, two Kappa brothers that joked like teenagers.

“Fuck you.” You fire back, flipping him off, “sit on it and spin, nigga.”

“Yeah, okay,” He puts a base in his voice, “I’ll have your little ass sitting and spinning on something if you keep playing with me, big headed ass.”

“You started with me!” You argue back, trying your best to keep your voice low.

“Whatever,” he shoves your head, “do some damn work.”

Kissing your teeth, you throw your led pencil at his head, watching him scrunch his face with discomfort, rubbing the spot that stung.

“Bitch ass,” you end the argument there, cracking your knuckles to get back into the grind. Lakeith wasn’t about to fuck up your A average.

How about Erik and his big Daddy dick fucking you? Remember, he said you can come see Daddy anytime you wanted some dick.

You press down over a series of keys, typing out something like dmcbcdjendh.

———————————-

“And again, this tutoring shit will not help me get through Calculus I. I don’t need some student tryna teach me.”

You ball up the flyer that your calculus teacher gave you for tutoring help. Tossing it in the recycle can, you march out of her office, fuming with fists balled and cheeks puffed out. Yes, you were a straight A student but the last calculus exam you took you received a 79 on it. That had you crying into a bowl of cookies and cream ice cream. Now, she was offering you tutoring yet again. The students who tutored acted so self righteous. She didn’t need for any them laughing at her behind her back or hounding her because they had the upper hand at the moment.

“Y/N!” Your young, chipper, Calculus teacher called out to you. She reminded you of Daria but less moody and socially awkward.

“Yes?” The annoyance in your voice was clear.

“Would you like another referral? There is a guy on campus who is here as a Graduate Student receiving his Doctorate. I graduated with him and he’s basically a genius. If you want, I can set you up over the next few weeks to meet with him during library time.”

Another teacher? Maybe this would help. She lectured crappy and it had you zoning out every few seconds. You had to result in teaching yourself.

“What’s his name?”

She motions for you to re enter her office. Closing the door behind her, you take your once vacated seat, staring at her accomplishments from M.I.T.

“His name is Erik Stevens. He is back getting his Doctorate in Engineering.”

Your Calculus professor handed you his business card. It was laminated, perfect watermark and everything. She didn’t understand the pure shock on your face. How could you forget that name after you moaned it and imprinted it within the hippocampus of your brain.

“Is there something wrong?” She asked with a slight smirk on her face. You must have looked crazy.

“No!!” You take the card, placing it in your hoodie pocket, “No, I just thought of something out of nowhere. You know how that happens sometimes.”

“Yeah,” she laughs it off awkwardly, “Give him a shot, Y/N. He’s really good at what he does.”

“Mhm,” you felt a sudden wetness in your panties. He sure as hell is good at what he does. Even your own teacher recommending him to you had you horny as a bitch.

This fucking man.

“I’ll give him a call today.” You look up at your teacher one last time before grabbing your bag, exiting her office.

//////////////

Erik: Call me and put that pussy on the phone, lol. I wanna hear her talk to me cuz I know she wet as a motherfucker.

You bite on your thumbnail while sitting in one of the study rooms within the Library. You were surrounded by Lakeith and a few other Micro Biology class mates to study for the next exam. You didn’t inform Erik about him tutoring you yet because you wanted to drive over to his apartment and tell him in person.

Y/N: It is wet, but I’m in study group right now I can’t show you. 😩

You were NEVER this damn bold with a guy.

“Y/N, you’re supposed to be the one writing on the white board what the fuck you doing?” Lakeith startles you from your sexting.

“Shit, my bad,” you stand up, grabbing your phone and expo marker. The group began telling you information to write out, your mind in tune with education. After applying the top to your marker, you hear a soft knock on the door as if knuckles were tapping it. Craning your neck, you make out the outline of a guy around 6’3, new balance on his feet and a navy blue Champions sweatshirt with matching pants. He had a black North Face beanie on his head, with an artistic pair of gold rimmed glasses on.

At first glance you didn’t recognize him but the moment you stepped closer to the door to open it, a deep pleasure ran through your veins like lava. With a sly smirk on his face, he leans into the door further, staring down at you while curling a single finger for you to come here. He bit down on his bottom lip the moment you were staring at him face to face, the only barrier between you both was the door. He jiggles the door knob, motioning with a tilt of his head for you to open it before he did. Sighing nervously, you open the door, his body smelling like testosterone and patchouli. The thought of the pheromones he produced after sex had you buckling at the knees.

“You in here studying?” He asks with a whisper.

You knew eyes were on you at that door.

“Yes, Biology.” You respond, but not with a whisper. You didn’t need any of them wondering why you were being secretive.

“What kind?” He asks with a tilt of his head, his finger discreetly stroking your hand. You pause to breathe, shifting on your feet.

“Micro.” You meet his gaze, blinking away as soon as you saw the heavy lust there. Why did he have to bring his fine ass over here? Clearly he was in the library the entire time. He did say he’d been watching you around campus and he wanted your thick ass for a long while. So maybe he was watching you study with friends?

“Were you keeping an eye on me, Erik?” You smirk.

“That’s all I can keep on you for now, ma. Ain’t like I can keep this dick on you while you in front of your friends.”

Erik looks over your shoulder. His eyes fell on Lakeiths. He knew from that moment that homeboy wanted you. It was all over that niggas face.

“Let me help I know a lot about Micro Biology.”

Erik wasn’t asking really because he pushes past you, fully within the room. You shutter slightly before closing the door, taking in calming breaths.

“Can we help you?” Lakeith speaks for the group like he was the leader.

“Nah, looks like y’all need it though,” Erik takes it upon himself to spread your notes out on the desk, craning his eyes behind his glasses to read what you had. He takes his other hand, stroking his gotee before turning to the white board.

“Y’all sure y’all know how to study for this?” He asks with a joking tone. Lakeith and Marvin share a look before turning back to Erik.

“Yeah, we got this, bruh. You looking at the top students in the class.”

Erik nods his head slowly, “How about you, Y/N? He speaking for you like he know you smart.”

Lakeith laughs, “we work close together all the time. I know she got it going on.”

Erik lifts a single brow, taking your notes to stack neatly, “Y/N, this nigga always speak for you?”

You bit the inside of your cheek, staring from Erik to Lakeith. There was clearly a weighing of dicks in this room but Erik would come out on top for sure, gold metal and all.

“Not always, but he has a habit to sometimes,” you hide your smile, focusing back to the white board.

“Y/N,” Erik calls for you. He had the right to do that you felt. He opened your pussy up and ate your pussy like a bowl of ice cream, licking his fingers and all. He could call you and you would answer.

“Yes?” You turn to him, giving him your undivided attention.

“You want me to help you study? I can do that right now I got time before my evening class starts,” he places his hands in his pants pockets, waiting for your answer. You both knew you would say yes, and you didn’t hesitate either. This could lead to what you needed.

“Okay, sure,” you try and pack your things but Erik was already on it, zipping up your back pack and throwing it over his shoulder. He walks to the door, opening it for you to leave first.

“You not gonna say goodbye to your little friends?” He says with a smirk before licking his lips.

“Bye y’all, see you this Wednesday,” you step out of the study room, Erik’s arm around your shoulder. Before you could leave the library, Erik pulls you in between an aisle full of history books, slamming you against the shelf. He pauses, trying to keep the solitude of the library at bay.

“Who is that little nigga?” He asks you with a calm that had you squirming.

“His name is Lakeith.” You respond with a whisper.

His eyes look from your toes and back up to your face. Erik takes off your hood, your messy curly bun frizzy from wearing it all day.

“Damn, you ain’t even fix this after I was all in yo’ shit last night.” He laughs with a deep raspy tone.

“I didn’t have time,” you whine, pouting like a baby.

“Why the fuck are you so cute? He had a slight tendrill of anger building up, you could tell from how his brows furrowed, “why you so damn cute, lil mama? Out here having these weak dick niggas craving you.“

You swallow spit, shrugging your shoulders nervously, “I don’t know.”

“What I tell you about that I don’t know shit?”

You forgot he didn’t like for you to tell him that.

“Sorry.”

“All you gonna do is say the shit again. But it’s cool, I know you remember how this strong dick nigga had you crying.” He was even closer now, breath on your cheek.

“I mean, to be honest, aint like you can do much about being the cutest bitch on campus. Cutest bitch with the tightest pussy.”

You could feel him grabbing your breasts with no restraint. Anybody could spot the both of you. You watch as he unzips your hoodie, the thin t shirt you wore underneath giving him a clear view of your big ass nipples.

“Y/N....shit,” he takes both, pinching your nipples and playfully slapping them.

“Big ass titties.” He kisses your neck on both sides with a little tongue.

“Erik,” you moan out with a shiver.

“I’m the only one allowed to put it on you, you hear me?” He whispers. Erik pulls you from the shelf by the collar of your shirt, palming your ass hard before slapping it.

“Daddy is gon’ be all in your shit girl, you wait and see,” he bit your ear, taking you by your hips to make you grind on him from the front. It was the wildest shit ever. You never did anything like this in public. For the most part it was kissing and ass grabbing but not this.

Erik pulls one of your legs up, his hands on the shelf while he dry humped your crotch.

“Damn, babygirl, that leg all the way up there, huh?” He pulls you with three quick pumps over his clothed and now fully hard dick. You could feel it against your leg and it was long as hell. He had you so open last time...Damn, he was gonna do that shit again.

“Let me stop before I have a big ass nut,” he chuckles, lowering your leg but never moving his hand away from your ass, “girl, when we get back to my place, I swear to God your ass is mine.”

————————————

“You’re so hard, I can feel all of that big dick, Daddy.”

You moan while grinding on his crotch, wet pussy wrapped around his bare dick. The minute you stepped out of his car and entered his apartment, he started undressing you without a word. Now here you were, fully naked and coating his dick with that good sticky shit. Erik has his fingers on your clit, rubbing in a slow circle while he instructed you to keep wetting his dick down to his balls.

Erik places his fingers within his mouth before grabbing your waist, angling you and making you bounce on his dick in rhythm with his grinding. It was an erotic sight to see, legs spread wide, pussy wet, hard dick all slick.

“Fuck, Y/N, got me ready to buss a fucking nut, damn girl!” He slaps your ass, “You ain’t all sweet, your little ass a fucking devil. What kinda sweet girl put a pussy like this on a nigga? Ain’t never heard of that.”

Erik grabs his dick, smacking your pussy with it, “Get on your fucking knees. Go on, ma, get down there.”

You were on your knees now, grabbing his dick with one hand, licking yourself off of him.

Damn this girl.

“Y/N, don’t be shy girl, c’mon, lil mama,” Erik motions for you to take him more, “open up...yesss, just like that. Mhm, good girllll.”

You gag on him. He was just so big. You had to stop and look at his dick like it was from another world. He laughs at your tear stained face and swollen lips. The spit on your chin he had a lot of fun with it seems, smearing it in with his fingers.

“I ain’t say you were done,” he jerks his dick, smacking you in the chin, “let’s go, ma, dick ain’t gonna suck itself.”

You grab him up, sucking him again. This time, he was fatter than before. What the hell was this! Your pussy was leaking, no lie. You could feel it on your thighs. Fuck if you weren’t sucking his dick. Erik rolled his eyes, head falling back when your tongue snaked up his dick.

“And you was tryna play scared?! Shit,” he shakes his head, “scared of what Y/N? You ain’t afraid of all this big dick.”

Erik grabs your hair, fucking into your mouth. You grab his thighs, eyes on him while he fucks your mouth.

“Damn, I’m balls deep in your mouth.” He grunts, pushing one final time before releasing your mouth, a thick stream of spit caught on your lips.

“Sloppy mouth bitch.” He slaps you with his dick. You were so astonished. He just hit you with his dick.

“Fuck. Me,” he looked from his dick to your wet face, “Come ride Daddy.”

You climb up, watching him apply a condom again. You pout with sadness, looking down at him roll the condom over all that spit on his dick. The vision was covered and it had you rolling your eyes.

“Fuck you doing all that for?” He caught that shit.

“If you fuck me raw I won’t act like this,” you speak in a timid tone. Erik licks his lips leaning back to admire you.

“You want some raw dick?”

You nod yes.

“Ard...take the condom off then.”

Quickly, you snatch it off, throwing it to the ground.

“Like I said, a slut for this dick,” he pulls you over him, “Get up here and fuck me since you want it raw. Fuck this dick like you tryna mold my shit in that little kitty.”

You squat over him on your tip toes, rubbing his dick over your clit a bit before lowering over him. He slaps your ass extremely hard, the connection complete and your lips in a full pout now.

“Yeah, thats my fucking girl, such a good little girl. Making that face I like, that dumb struck face with all this dick in you balls deep, fuck.”

You start bouncing, hands on his shoulders and head thrown back.

“Ohmygodddd ohmygoddddd.”

He was really hitting different. It was so much pressure you were sure to squirt. The dick was knocking on your walls for a squirt in return. Damn, his big dick was all the way in there. Shit didn’t make no sense.

“You hear all that?” He speaks to you but you were dickmatized, “you are splashing on me, girl! What the fuck!” You sure were. You could hear it loud and clear.

“Yes I am, oh my Godddd,” you gasp.

“Yes I am, Daddy. I’m so wet, Daddy.”

“You taking this big dick girl, it’s okay for me to keep fucking you like this? Fuck, Y/N this pretty pussy so wet.”

His hands were everywhere. He was low on the couch, hips pumping up into you with his eyes low and on your face. You were in an eye lock with him and it made the moment even better.

“Never thought you would be bouncing on this dick did you?” You both shake your heads at the same time, “I already know I just wanted you to agree with me, sexy bitch.”

You watch as he presses his hand into your back, lifting your leg with the other hand, pounding into you, beating your shit in.

“Damn, ma, I got you looking possessed,” he says all of this while fucking you deeper, flesh smacking louder, “mhmmm, this cool? Huh? Daddy hitting that spot, right?”

You were in no shape to speak. This man had a tight grip on your leg while he beat the brakes off your pussy.

“Shit better than the first time? You getting all of me girl ain’t no holding back. You want this raw dick you taking it like a big girl.” He slows down, making you feel every inch. It was literal murder.

“You a big girl,” he looks down at the way his dick was fucking you, “big girl when you getting this pussy fucked.”

“Fuck, yes.” You moan out. You’d be a big girl and take anything. This man had you wide open.

Damn, hold up, shit,” Erik slips out, arching you over the couch now. He used your shoulders, pushing you down so your face was pressed into the cushions. Your ass was pointed so far up, pussy spread wide for him to slip inside with ease. Your pussy was already wet anyway so he would be in that shit with no problem real soon.

“Throw this phat ass back on me.”

You move with as much energy as you could force. He had you tired. You move your hips seductively while throwing it back, your eyes on him to watch his every reaction. You watched him take in a deep breath, several to be exact, trying his best to control the urge to cum.

“This little pussy finna make me buss.”

You were about to buss from the way his head stroked your sweet spot.

“Ahh, I’m about to cum, Daddy,” you grab the back of the couch, legs shaking and cum spilling out like warm sugar.

“Pussy so sweet, Y/N,” he grabs your hips, taking control now while drilling you. The change of pace had your mouth wide open and eyes glossy from the pressure.

“Damn, you really in there!” You yell, back muscles flexing from the intense feeling. This man was stirring your guts around like a bowl of noodles.

“You putting it on me Daddy I don’t wanna stop!!!” You yell with literal tears in your eyes. You were being completely honest. You didn’t want him to ever stop. You wanted him to keep going and going.

“Putting it on this tight pussy?” He asks with a smirk, “This my tight pussy, you hear me? My tight pussy, little mama.”

“Yes, it’s for you!” You couldn’t believe it, you were cumming again, “DADDY MY PUSSY!!!”

The way you reacted to him had his balls tight and dick rippling, ready to cum.

“Best believe little girl I’m taking. this. SHIT.” He started fucking then stoping, fucking then stopping, like a pattern of torture. Your body would jerk forward in surprise, and then he would stop for about three seconds leaving your clit a throbbing mess. Each time he started back up you would gasp, the surprise of it leaving you motionless and breathless.

“Mhm,” he stops, slapping your ass, “Mhm.”

You reach back, hoping for him to grab your wrists. When he does, you prepare for the pounding of your life. Arching more, you feel him increase momentum, eyes growing lower and lower each time. He had you hooked. That’s it. You were fucking Erik Stevens from now on.

“How you feel about me bussing this pussy open?” He says in a breathless tone.

“I feel so good, Daddy.”

/////////////////////

You watch as he sucks on your nipples, your shirt lifted over your head. You just got out of the shower, your legs weak. He had you against his front door, wet hair all over your face and chest arched forward into his mouth. You cry and do it loudly like a whiny brat, his tongue flicking your nipples in the best way.

“Daddy...stop...” you push at him weakly.

He starts sucking like a damn baby and you extend your head back, hitting the door with a loud thud.

“Chill out,” you say between breathless moans. He was a damn animal for you.

“Daddy, what the fuck,” you rub your thighs together, “ooo...stop,”

He doesn’t say a word as he tongues and sucks on your titties. Nipple play never aroused you this much. Erik was a man of firsts for you. How was it that you could feel your pussy throb and drip from this? His eyes meet yours while he flicks his tongue over your right nipple. Damn, he was a fine motherfucker with a mouth you wanted to sit on. Imagine having a tongue like that slipping from front to back and side to side in your slit.

“Daddy eat my pussy,” you ask with no regard.

“Suck on that pussy?” He lifts with spit on his chin, “If I eat it you ain’t going no where for the night cuz im only gonna fuck you again.”

“So?” You sass, “plus, I’m gonna be here more often anyway. My calculus teacher recommended me to you for tutoring.”

He looks at you with dark eyes of lust while twirling your nipples, “Damn, forreal?”

“Yeah, I figured you could reward me with more dick if I do well.”

“Yeah, I can do that. But that means you gotta do well though.”

You kiss your teeth, “Okay, I’ll do my best.”

“Put that bag down and undress. Squat over the couch with that pussy sitting over the edge, okay?” He said it so casually, his naked chest looking edible.

“Okay,” you put your bag down, undressing again. You know you looked a mess but he didn���t care about that shit. Walking to the couch, you watch him as he takes a hit from his blunt. You get into position, arching with your legs wide and pussy sitting for his mouth. Erik admires you while blowing smoke from his lips, walking over to you and getting on his knees.

“You gon pop that ass and pussy while I eat your juicy shit from the back?”

“I’ll do whatever you want me to.”

“Good.”

You could feel him turning around, his arms up and on your ass, spreading you wide. You feel his lips kissing your pussy, eyes closing with bliss. He tongues your folds apart, his tongue dancing with your nectar. He slobs, then slurps, slobs, then slurps, a continuous pattern. Each time you would flinch, your clit jumping each time he did it. Fuck if you would get your pussy ate from someone else. He knew your pussy like the back of his hand. His tongue started flicking upward, only the tip of it teasing your clit and inner folds. It moved all over, Erik working that thing. You claw at the couch, turning your head no matter how painful to try and watch how he did that. This man was full of surprises.

“Daddy, how you doing that?” You ask with a sweet tone. He responds with a sloppy kiss to your clit. You fall against him, giving in to his dance.

“Fuck, Daddy.” You start popping your ass, the feeling of his gold slugs making you shiver. Shit, he was making you cum. Already this man was making you squirt. You were overwhelmed.

“SHIT,” you shake, pussy squirting in his mouth. He applauds you with a slap to the ass before going back to work. Now your clit was overworked and sensitive. The more he slobs the more you cum. And just like that, you were creaming.

“Oh, fuck yeahhhhh.” You talk into the couch cushion beneath you.

“My dick hard again. I told you.” He stands, dick ready to rip through his sweats.

You could hear your phone ringing, sure that it was Brandy but all that didn’t matter, Erik had you up in the air. You could see yourself in his mirrors that he had on his living room wall over his TV. You were so small compared to him. He’s taller, extremely taller, and so toned and cut, not one part of his body was covered with fat. He looked into that mirror too, eyes on you at times but also on the way he held you up like you were as light as an infant, bringing you down over his dick. Each time you both connected he would look back at you to catch your reaction. It didn’t matter how this man fucked you, it was great each time.

Erik walks over to the mirror while he still bounced you, turning sideways now, those full lips of his pouty and his eyes low and hazy.

“Creaming on me something serious,” he rewards you for that buy fucking up into you quickly. Your toes curl, hands around the back of his neck squeezing.

“Y/N, damn,” he scrunches his face, hands palming your ass to keep you up and open for him, “Baby girl, look at me.”

You look at him, moans stuck in your throat.

“Why you letting me take this pussy like this? You not afraid to fall for a nigga?”

You were already falling. It was only day two. He knew what he was doing. He played the game well.

“You not afraid to fall for me?” You catch your breath, “you’re not afraid to get pussy whipped by a girl like me? A little mama?”

“Nah, ma,” Erik shakes his head with a smirk, “not at all.”

You blush, your pussy gushing further over him. He may be your fuck buddy now but the thought of him being more excited you. He made you forget about your ex. Erik was the man of your dreams now a reality.

“Shit, I’m about to have a big fuck nut!!!” You watch as he fucks you at full throttle, body bouncing, wet pussy sliding, moans and groans loud for the entire apartment complex to hear.

“Fuck, girl!!!!” Erik slips out, resting you on the floor while cumming on your face and titties. You catch as much as you could and scrape up the rest to put on your tongue. Erik watched you with primal eyes, his sweat dripping on you. The sweat that smelled like citrus and patchouli. While you tasted and swallowed his cum you wished he would cum in you. You know why but damn his dick was good that’s where you wanted it next! You could only beg for it honestly.

“Ard, ma, time to get up we got some studying to do.” He picks you up, throwing you over his shoulder. You watch him pick up your back pack Erik walking you back to his bedroom. How were you going to study and get through the semester with Erik’s dick in you at any given opportunity? This was going to be tough. Erik drops you on the bed, your body bouncing. As you sit up and fold your legs, Erik opens you bag while his blunt rested between his lips, pulling all of your things out that you needed.

“I’m serious about this studying, shorty. Education is important. You want me to help you out you gotta pay attention to everything I tell your little ass, Aight?”

“Okay, whatever you say, Erik.” You pull your hair up into a top knot bun.

“Gotta work hard for what you want,” he looks at you, a smirk growing on his face, “you hear me talking to you?”

“Yes, Daddy.”

“Daddy Erik when I’m in that puss, professor Erik when we hitting these books,” he takes a puff of his weed, “you smoke?”

You take the blunt without answering, smoking a little.

“Aight, what you get on your calculus exam?”

You felt embarrassed to say. You knew he would frown at you if you told him what it was.

“I’m an A average student, Erik.” You try and ease away from answering his question. His eyes were on you like he was ready to fuck you yet again.

“Ma,” he shakes his head, “just tell me. What you get?”

“A fucking 79.”

“You can do better but that’s better than shit I’ve seen. Stop beating yourself up, Y/N.”

His words had you dripping on his bed. You bounce, titties jumping and a seductive smile on your face. Your eyes focus on him, his still hard dick pointed to your mouth. He bites the corner of his lip, eyes peeking at the way your big ass titties looked bouncing. With a shake of his head and closed eyes, Erik grabs you by the chin, making you look up at him. He opens his eyes real slow, trapping you.

“Just suck my dick again, ma. You did that shit right the first time. I like the way you look chocking on my stick.”

Yep, this was going to be difficult.

Who am I?

           I often wonder what it is that makes me who I am. What is my watermark in this world we live in? Is it my personality, or my character? Do my choices determine who I am? Or, maybe it is a combination of all of these things because I don’t think that there is one description or label that is capable of defining me completely.

I like to think that for the most part; I am a pretty easy person to get along with. I am generally a positive person to be around and I try not to judge anyone for the choices that they make or the beliefs that they subscribe to. I just treat everyone with the same respect that I would like to be treated with. However, this does not mean that I let others take advantage of me, I may snap sometimes and show a bit of my ugly side. I describe myself as a “zen person”, as if I’m one with nature. 

Ever since, I was a little kid I can’t remember a time where I would always prefer to go to the beach, to the park or just play outside; rather than staying inside playing with dolls and video games. When going outside I would contemplate the clouds in the sky and transport myself to the purest parts of my heart. Whenever I go to “green” areas I feel as if the world were a different place. A world in which violence is inexistent and everyone respects and cherishes nature, that surrounds us and conforms a huge part of us as human beings. To me mother nature is like a best friend, one who doesn’t judge you for who you are when you “spill” your secrets and future plans to her.

I am a shy person and at times I feel incredibly awkward around people, especially those that I don’t know. I am the type of person who will hang back and observe others talking before making the decision about whether or not I want to join in with the group. It is because of this that I am often wrongly labeled as being antisocial or just proud. This could not be further from the truth. I love to be around people once I get to know them. I’m just really shy at the beginning, because usually I’m just afraid of whether or not I will say the “right things” so people will like me. Sometimes I wish that I could make people understand this because I am sure that I have missed out on many potential friendships because of this shyness that seems to come across as me being a nasty type of person. Then again, maybe only the people who have the same type of personality are the type of friends that I should be pursuing. I can get very picky with who I relate to in my life. To me, a friend needs to be as chill as I am. A person who just wants to love and be loved. Someone who cherishes the simple things in life like going to the beach or taking a stroll in the car just to observe the stunning scenery our beautiful island offers us. A person who loves going on roadtrips and loves nature just as I do.

Once I get to know you, you will get to see the real me. Not the shy and wary exterior, but the real person inside. The person who can have razor-sharp keenness fueled by sarcasm, but who is also incredibly warm and supportive of those I care about; a loyal and genuine friend. As I said before I am extremely picky so it may take a lot for people to get to that point where I’m willing to show that side of me. Although I have always wanted to be more outgoing I have actually grown to like the way I am and the selectiveness towards the people I relate with because I live at peace. No unnecessary dramas or betrayal arise because the people in my life are genuine and humble.

They say that there are two sides to every coin and that sums me up pretty well. I can be outgoing and sociable, but I’m also shy and awkward. I can be warm and loving, but I am also capable of snapping back at someone if they upset me. In conclusion, there are many different things that make me who I am. It is not just my character and my personality, but also the things I do and say. I seem to be made up entirely of opposites and contradictions. There are so many different elements that make up this puzzle complementing me as a unique individual.

Trust Me, You Need This £5 Miracle Cleaning Product In Your Life

The Pink Stuff." data-caption="Talk about a trainer makeover! And it's all thanks to The Pink Stuff." data-rich-caption="Talk about a trainer makeover! And it's all thanks to The Pink Stuff." data-credit="HuffPost UK" data-credit-link-back="" />

We hope you love the products we recommend! All of them were independently selected by our editors. Just so you know, HuffPost UK may collect a share of sales or other compensation from the links on this page if you decide to shop from them. Oh, and FYI — prices are accurate and items in stock as of time of publication.

Clean Tok, the strangely addictive TikTok channel where cleaning enthusiasts come together to share their holy grail products and tips on how to use them, is packed full of incredibly recommendations. If you haven’t browsed it, I urge you do so immediately. It’s pretty meditative to watch those clean beans at work!

But one of their recommendations stands out above all others, and not just for its pure pop aesthetic. If you haven’t heard of The Pink Stuff by British-made brand Star Drops and are looking to find a multi-purpose, easy-to-use cleaning product that’s also non-toxic, you’re going to want to try it. 

This simple paste has changed the cleaning game – or at least, it’s changed my cleaning game, and it’s all thanks to a video I stumbled on while scrolling through the ‘Clean Tok’ channel.  

For quicker, easier cleaning, hundreds of videos recommend The Pink Stuff and so does my Buzzfeed colleague Amy Glover who used to be a professional cleaner and included it top of her favourite scrubbing products here.

After watching a particularly impressive TikTok video touting this raspberry-scented delight, I decided to give it a try myself and soon realised it had incredible multipurpose cleaning potential. Plus it’s pleasingly free of any chemical whiff and doesn’t emit nasty fumes.

Honestly, I’ve fallen hard. And best of all, a massive 500g tub costs around a fiver (and you can usually find it even cheaper on Amazon special deals).

So, how do you use The Pink Stuff and for what?

The answer is, you can use The Pink Stuff for pretty much anything, but here’s where I’ve found this miracle paste to be a particular game-changer.

Cleaning your oven (inside and out)

For cleaning your oven – both a stained hob and/or a greasy oven door – this paste is fantastic. It’s super simple to use and requires minimal elbow grease. 

Got a watermark stained hob from where a pan has boiled over? Is your door coated in grease? This stuff will take those stains right out, almost instantly. 

Using a damp cloth, scoop a small amount of the paste out of the tub, rub it into the chosen surface (coating every area), before gently buffing it away with a clean cloth. I use a Scrub Daddy cleaning sponge and the results are a sparkling clean surface, inside or outside your oven. 

Adding shine back to your sink

Noticed your kitchen sink is looking a little dull? This bright pink paste is the answer. It’ll have your sink looking all shiny and new again in no time at all. 

Coat the entire surface, from the basin to the draining board, in the paste and leave it to sit for a few minutes. Then, wipe the paste away with a clean cloth, using small circular movements to gently buff the product.

The result should be a sparkling silver sink that looks almost brand new. FYI, if you notice your sponge or cleaning cloth turning silver, don’t panic, it’s not damaging your sink, it’s simply the paste doing its job.

Brightening tiles and whitening grout 

Sick and tired of having to scrub your tile grout in an attempt to swap the grimy grey hue for the original white tone? This paste is, once again, a game-changer. 

Coat the grout with the paste, leave it to sit for 10 to 15 minutes, and then use a grout brush to gently scrub the grout, before washing the paste away.

The result should be brighter, whiter grout, once again achieved with minimal elbow grease. 

Reviving white leather trainers 

It might sound strange but hear us out on this because honestly, the results speak for themselves. This bright pink, all-natural paste can quickly revive white trainers from the canvas or leather to the soles (and everything in between). 

After watching another TikTok video of a user reviving their old leather Converse with it, I decided to give it a try myself on my own grimey pair of Cons, which I’d previously tried cleaning with little sign of improvement. 

I removed the laces from the trainers, coated the exterior (including the soles) in the cleaning paste, and used a cleaning cloth to gently buff the paste into the material. I then left them to sit for 30 minutes before using a clean cloth to gently wipe the paste away trainers that look almost as good as new. 

And here’s how to buy it...

That’s not the end of it. The Pink Stuff also promises to clean dirt and grime from your showers, saucepans, and now the weather is getting warmer, rust from your garden furniture and barbecue.

I’m looking forward to giving it a more of a go and here’s how you can, too.

Iku: Ce mois-ci, ce magazine a interviewé diverses célébrités autour de ce thème. Elles ont toutes donné des réponses intéressantes.

Doujou: Je vois.

Iku: Il y a beaucoup de réponses très spécifiques. Des endroits où elles aimeraient retourner,

Iku: ou bien des choses de leur passé dont elles ne sont pas très fières et qu’elles aimeraient améliorer.

*C’était à l’époque où tout le monde s’était finalement habitué au changement de nom de famille de Kasahara...*

*...que l’équipe Doujou s’égaya autour de cette discussion.*

*Au fait, voici comment Doujou (M.) l’appelle désormais*

*En privé, il utilise son nom de jeune fille.*

Doujou: Kasahara !

*En public, comme ils sont toujours supérieur/subordonné, il utilise son grade.*

Doujou: 3ème classe Doujou !

Iku: Une machine à remonter le temps, hein... ?

Iku: I’d like to go back to my wedding ceremony...

Komaki: Right. Your mermaid dress was gorgeous, Kasahara-san. This type of dress looks best on tall women.

Doujou: Go back alone. I’ll pass.

Iku: Why?! Did you not like our wedding ceremony, Instructor Doujou?!

Doujou: Is it really something you should be asking?!

Voice: Yo! Prince!

Doujou & Iku: !!!

*The nightmare comes back to haunt them*

Iku: *Tch... It was a great ceremony, if you ask me...*

Doujou: *sulk*

*But thanks to that they made peace with Iku’s mom*

Iku: Then what moment would you like to go back to, Instructor?

Doujou: ...No comment.

Iku: J’aimerais bien revivre mon mariage...

Komaki: Ah oui. Ta robe sirène était magnifique, Kasahara-san. Ce genre de robe convient bien aux personnes de grande taille.

Doujou: Revis-le toute seule. Je m’en passerai bien.

Iku: Pourquoi ?! Tu n’as pas aimé notre cérémonie de mariage ?! (NDT: elle l’appelle toujours Instructeur Doujou, mais maintenant qu’ils sont mariés je suis un peu obligée de passer au tutoiement, et les deux ensemble ça fait bizarre donc j’adapte. Regardez la trad anglaise si vous voulez voir ce qui manque.)

Doujou: Et c’est toi qui me demandes ça ?!

Voix: Yo ! Prince !

Doujou & Iku: !!!

*Le cauchemar revient les hanter*

Iku: *Tch... Moi je l’ai trouvée très bien, cette cérémonie...*

Doujou: *boude*

*Grâce à cela ils se sont réconciliés avec la mère d’Iku*

Iku: Alors quel moment voudrais-tu revivre ?

Doujou: ...No comment.

Komaki: Doujou does have some moments from his past he’d like to go back to. To erase them.

Komaki: Most of them have to do with alcohol.

Komaki: Like that time he was drunk for three days.

Iku: For three days?! What is that about? I want to know!

Komaki: It was a long time ago, at a drinking game...

Doujou: Shut up, you idi-... ot?!

*twists his arm*

Iku: Instructor Komaki, go on, please.

Doukou: You... I’ll remember this when we’re home!

*Tezuka also wants to hear so he didn’t stop her*

*excited*

Komaki: You all know Doujou can hold his liquor pretty well, right? Even back when we were still fresh recruits, he’d keep his cool until banquets were over. So our superiors tried to make him lose control once.

Komaki: Doujou a quelques épisodes de son passé sur lesquels il aimerait bien revenir. Pour les effacer.

Komaki: La plupart ont trait à l’alcool.

Komaki: Comme cette fois où il a eu la gueule de bois pendant trois jours d’affilée.

Iku: Pendant trois jours ?! Comment ça ? Je veux savoir !

Komaki: C’était il y a longtemps, on avait parié à qui serait le dernier à tenir encore debout...

Doujou: Ferme-la, idi-... ot ?!

*lui tord le bras*

Iku: Instructeur Komaki, continuez, je vous en prie.

Doukou: Toi... Je m’en souviendrai quand on sera rentrés à la maison !

*Tezuka voudrait aussi savoir alors il ne l’a pas arrêtée*

*excité*

Komaki: Vous savez déjà que Doujou tient bien l’alcool, n’est-ce pas ? Même lorsque nous n’étions encore que de jeunes recrues, il arrivait à garder le contrôle jusqu’à la fin des dîners. Du coup nos supérieurs ont comploté pour essayer de lui faire perdre les pédales.

Komaki: They challenged him to a drinking game, and Doujou accepted because he hates to lose.

Blond man: *Let’s see who’s weaker, Doujou!*

Doujou: *Peh*

Komaki: Despite our superiors being able to hold their liquor pretty well themselves, Doujou crushed them all one after the other.

Komaki: But they had kept their trump card for last just in case, and he ended up having to face Captain Genda.

Man: *The last one will be him!*

Man: *Captain Gendaaaa!*

Man: *Can you still win, Doujouuuu?!*

Genda: It’s time you stopped, Doujou.

Doujou: I can... still...

Komaki: Ils l’ont défié dans un jeu à boire, et Doujou a accepté parce qu’il déteste perdre.

Blondinet: *Voyons voir qui est le plus faible, Doujou !*

Doujou: *Pwaaah*

Komaki: Bien que nos supérieurs tiennent plutôt bien l’alcool eux aussi, Doujou les a tous éclatés les uns après les autres.

Komaki: Mais ils avaient gardé leur meilleur atout pour la fin, au cas où, et il se retrouva à devoir affronter le Capitaine Genda.

Homme: *Et le dernier adversaire sera... !*

Homme: *Le Capitaine Gendaaaa !*

Homme: *Tu crois que tu peux y arriver, Doujouuuu ?!*

Genda: Tu ferais mieux d’arrêter là, Doujou.

Doujou: Je peux... encore...

Genda (?): Doujou!

Komaki: What happened next was terrible! He could get alcohol poisoning so under the Captain’s orders, I made him throw it all up.

Iku & Tezuka: Oooh!

Komaki: As a result, he stayed drunk for three days. Remember how you had to bring a bucket to the training grounds and kept throwing up?

Doujou: I forgot!

Komaki: You really hate to lose! *Ahahaha!*

Ogata: Pfft!

Iku: *Ah~ but an angry young Atsushi-san... It must’ve been cute... ♥ *

Komaki: Afterwards the Captain scolded both Doujou and our superiors for going too far...

Tezuka: *The 1st Lieutenant was...!*

Iku: How about you, Tezuka?

Genda (?): Doujou !

Komaki: Ce qui suivit fut horrible ! Le Capitaine avait peur qu’il ne fasse un coma éthylique, alors sous ses ordres il a fallu que je lui fasse tout vomir !

Iku & Tezuka: Oooh !

Komaki: Du coup, il a eu la gueule de bois pendant trois jours. Tu te rappelles à l’entraînement quand tu passais ton temps à vomir dans le seau que tu avais ramené ?

Doujou: J’ai oublié !

Komaki: Tu n’aimes vraiment pas perdre la face ! *Ahahaha !*

Ogata: Pfft !

Iku: *Ah~ mais un jeune Atsushi-san en colère... ça devait être adorable... ♥ *

Komaki: Après cela le Capitaine a sermoné Doujou et nos supérieurs en leur reprochant d’être allés trop loin...

Tezuka: *Le Lieutenant 1ère classe [s’est fait disputer]... !*

Iku: Et toi, alors, Tezuka ?

Iku: What would you do if you had a time machine?!

Tezuka: ...I’d probably go back to the time when you gave me a sports drink to cure me from my hangover and it almost killed me. *Hmph!*

Iku: *Ugh*

Tezuka: I’d scold myself for accepting the drink and remind myself never to trust you.

Doujou: Hoooo...

Iku: What about you, Instructor Komaki...?!

Komaki: I guess I’d like to go back to the time they played the bear prank on us new recruits. Had I known, I would’ve gotten the “bear-killer” nickname for myself, too.

Iku & Doujou: Uuuuugh!

Iku: Tu ferais quoi si tu avais une machine à remonter le temps ?!

Tezuka: ...Je pense que je retournerais à l’instant où tu m’as donné une boisson énergisante pour me soigner de ma cuite et que je me suis effondré. *Hmpf !*

Iku: *Ouh*

Tezuka: Je me mettrais des baffes d’avoir accepté la boisson et me remémorerais qu’il ne faut jamais te faire confiance.

Doujou: Hoooo...

Iku: Et vous, Instructeur Komaki... ?!

Komaki: Je crois que j’aimerais bien revivre la blague de l’ours qu’ils nous ont faite quand on était encore jeunes recrues. Si j’avais su, moi aussi j’aurais pu avoir le surnom de “tueur d’ours”.

Iku & Doujou: Aaaargh !

Iku: N-Not you too, Instructor Komaki! You meanie~!

Doujou: You want to take it out on us both? Nasty piece of work...

Komaki: What are you saying? A married couple should stick together in joy and in pain, right?

Iku: Uuugh...

Iku: Well then... Vice Commander Ogata!

Iku: What moment of your life would you like to go back to, if you had a time machine?

Iku: N-Ne vous y mettez pas vous aussi, Instructeur Komaki! Méchant~ !

Doujou: Tu veux nous faire tomber tous les deux, c’est ça ? Saleté...

Komaki: Mais que dis-tu ? Un couple marié doit rester ensemble et se soutenir dans le bonheur comme dans l’adversité, pas vrai ?

Iku: Ouuuh...

Iku: Bon ben... Vice Commandant Ogata !

Iku: Quel moment de votre vie aimeriez-vous revivre, si vous aviez une machine à remonter le temps ?

Ogata: ...

Ogata: My university years, I think...

Doujou: ...Break is over. Let’s resume training.

Iku: Eh?

Ogata: ...

Ogata: Mes années fac, je pense...

Doujou: ...La pause est terminée. On retourne à l’entraînement.

Iku: Hein ?

Iku: Wasn’t it shorter than usual?

Doujou: It’s your imagination.

Iku: Hey! W-wait!

Ogata: ...I guess he was being considerate.

Ogata: *To put it more precisely,*

Ogata: *it’s my third year at university I’d like to go back to.*

Ogata: *A blessed time when my future was still a blank slate.*

Iku: C’était plus court que d’habitude, non ?

Doujou: Ce n’est que ton imagination.

Iku: Hé ! A-Attends !

Ogata: ...Il a voulu me ménager, je crois.

Ogata: *Plus précisement,*

Ogata: *c’est sur ma 3ème année à l’université que j’aimerais revenir.*

Ogata: *À l’époque bénie où mon avenir n’était encore qu’une page blanche.*

*A past long gone that I still remember clearly as if it were yesterday.*

*Those vivid days...*

Voice: Ogata!

*Un passé lointain dont je me souviens encore comme si c’était hier.*

*Ces jours éclatants...*

Voix: Ogata !

Blond man: Are you done with the report we have to hand in the day after tomorrow?

Ogata: Yeah...

Blond man: Wow, no wonder! Can you let me see it for a bit? Just for reference~

Ogata: No... *Of course not.*

*Hi!*

Blond man: Woah! Here comes Akemi-chan, the idol of our seminar!

Blond man: *Akemi-chan! Let’s go and have a drink together today!*

Akemi: *Wha-? You’re so persistent everyday!*

Akemi: *Stop following meeee!*

Ogata: *Salutes* ...

Woman: *Salutes* ...

Blondinet: T’as fini l’exposé pour après-demain ?

Ogata: Ouais...

Blondinet: Wow, ça m’étonne pas ! Tu peux me le montrer ? Je voudrais m’en inspirer~

Ogata: Non... *Pas question.*

*Salut !*

Blondinet: Ouah ! Voilà Akemi-chan, l’idole de nos TDs !

Blondinet: *Akemi-chan ! Allons boire un verre ensemble aujourd’hui !*

Akemi: *Quoi ? Tu me demandes ça tous les jours, ça devient lassant !*

Akemi: *Arrête de me suiiiiivre !*

Ogata: *Salue* ...

Fille: *Salue* ...

Woman: Your friend is always so lively.

Ogata: Well, yeah... He’s not a bad fellow though. *He’s cheerful.*

*I was attending the law department of our university.*

*Kayoko Takeuchi was another student in the same seminar. She wasn’t the type to stand out.*

*There were a lot of gorgeous-looking girls in our class who were quite popular with men.*

*But getting close to them was impossible for me. She was the only one I found reasonably easy to talk to.*

Fille: Ton ami est toujours plein d’entrain.

Ogata: Oui, mais bon... Ce n’est pas un mauvais bougre. *Il est enjoué.*

*J’étais au département de droit à la fac.*

*Kayoko Takeuchi suivait elle aussi les TDs. Elle n’était pas du genre à se faire remarquer.*

*Il y avait beaucoup de jolies filles dans notre classe. Elles étaient toutes très populaires auprès des garçons.*

*Mais il était pour moi impossible de me rapprocher d’elles. Elle était la seule avec qui j’arrivais à converser sans trop de difficulté.*

*Who would’ve thought...*

*...that after 20 years, I would still remember her name?*

Kayoko: Ogata-kun!

Kayoko: Why don’t you ever talk to the other girls?

Ogata: ... Errm...

Ogata: *Hmm...* ...It’s like those girls and I,

Ogata: we’re living in a different flow of time...

*Qui aurait cru...*

*...qu’après 20 ans, son nom serait encore gravé dans ma mémoire ?*

Kayoko: Ogata-kun !

Kayoko: Pourquoi n’adresses-tu jamais la parole aux autres filles ?

Ogata: ... Euh...

Ogata: *Hmm...* ...C’est comme si elles et moi,

Ogata: on ne vivait pas au même rythme...

Ogata: They speak awfully fast and keep changing topics...

Ogata: It’s like I can’t process what they’re saying fast enough.

*To be frank, it’s not that I wasn’t popular with the ladies.*

Girl: *Ogata-kun, I like you! Please go out with me!*

*Assertive girls would confess to me,*

*and I would go out with them.*

*While I was content just being with them, they’d quickly grow bored of my lack of loquacity and end up dumping me.*

*It happened a lot...*

Girl: *You’re too boring! Bye-bye!*

Ogata: *It didn’t last three months...*

Kayoko: But during presentations for the seminar your speach is very lively. And you’re doing fine during debates.

Ogata: Elles parlent très vite et n’arrêtent pas de changer de sujet...

Ogata: C’est comme si mon cerveau n’arrivait pas à suivre.

*Pour être honnête, je ne manquais pas de popularité auprès des filles.*

Fille: *Ogata-kun, je t’aime ! Sors avec moi !*

*Des filles plus affirmées me faisaient leur déclaration,*

*et je sortais avec elles.*

*Mais alors qu’être avec elles me suffisait amplement, elles se lassaient vite de mon manque de loquacité et finissaient par me larguer.*

*C’est arrivé très souvent...*

Fille: *T’es trop ennuyeux ! Salut !*

Ogata: *Ça n’a pas duré trois mois...*

Kayoko: Mais pendant les présentations des TDs tu es plein d’entrain. Et puis tu te débrouilles bien pendant les débats.

Kayoko: ... *stares*

Ogata: *Uuuum...*

Ogata: Ah... Maybe I have some kind of on and off switch or something.

Ogata: Idle talk wouldn’t be possible when it’s off... And I’m no good at switching on “on” mode fast enough, so chitchat feels quite...

Ogata: ...hectic? or something. I can’t keep up with it.

Ogata: You’re usually alone when we talk, Takeuchi-san.

Ogata: And you quietly wait for me speak, like you’re doing right now.

Ogata: You’re calm and serene, and that’s why I’m able to relax.

Kayoko: You got the last part wrong, Ogata-kun.

Kayoko: ... *fixe*

Ogata: *Huuum...*

Ogata: Ah... Peut-être que j’ai une sorte de bouton on/off.

Ogata: Je ne peux pas bavarder quand il est éteint... Et comme je n’arrive pas à l’allumer assez vite, les papotages me semblent trop...

Ogata: ...frénétiques ? Enfin quelque chose comme ça. Je n’arrive pas à suivre.

Ogata: Tu es d’habitude toute seule quand on parle, Takeuchi-san.

Ogata: Et tu attends calmement que je parle, comme tu le fais en ce moment.

Ogata: Tu es tranquille et sereine, et c’est pour ça que j’arrive à me détendre.

Kayoko: Tu as tout faux sur le dernier point, Ogata-kun.

Kayoko: I am absolutely not calm and serene, and I can never stay put.

Kayoko: I’m more bad-tempered than most,

Kayoko: and that’s exactly why I remain quiet in order to avoid quarrels or standing out.

*”A classmate easy to talk to”...*

Kayoko: Je ne suis ni tranquille ni sereine, et je ne tiens jamais en place.

Kayoko: Je m’emporte plus facilement que la plupart des gens,

Kayoko: et c’est justement pour ça que je reste silencieuse pour éviter les conflits et ne pas me faire remarquer.

*”Une camarade de classe avec qui il est facile de discuter”...*

*That’s all there was to it. And yet, what made me conscious of her...*

Kayoko: Keep it a secret.

*...was that mischievous smile.*

*Our relationship changed during our seminar’s summer trip in our third year.*

*Study sessions in the morning...*

*...and free time after noon!*

Kayoko: You can’t swim too, Ogata-kun?

*C’est tout. Et pourtant, ce qui m’a vraiment fait prendre conscience d’elle,*

Kayoko: Garde ça secret.

*c’était ce sourire espiègle.*

*C’est durant le voyage d’été de notre groupe de TD, en troisième année, que notre relation a évolué.*

*Cours le matin...*

*...et temps libre l’après-midi !*

Kayoko: Toi non plus tu ne sais pas nager, Ogata-kun ?

Ogata: It’s not that... I’m actually rather good at sports.

Kayoko: Then you should've gone to the beach with the others. You didn’t need to keep me company.

*The other students all went to the beach.*

Ogata: I can have fun on my own or with my friends, but... going for a dip in the ocean here surely means they have ulterior motives.

Ogata: I’m no good at reading the atmosphere so I’d feel bad if I got in someone’s way. Fun times are best enjoyed when you’re able to have fun without hesitation...

Kayoko: Are you implying that...

Author notes: The 4th volume will go on sale on June, 5th. I’m counting on you! I got a car lately, although I’m still a Sunday driver. I pray I won’t crash...!

Ogata: Ce n’est pas ça... En fait, je suis plutôt bon en sport.

Kayoko: Alors tu aurais dû aller nager avec les autres. Ce n’était pas la peine de rester me tenir compagnie.

*Tous les autres étudiants sont allés à la plage.*

Ogata: Je peux m’amuser autant seul qu’avec des amis, c’est juste que... s’ils vont à la plage ici, c’est sans doute qu’ils ont certaines arrières-pensées...

Ogata: J’ai du mal à lire l’ambiance alors je ne voudrais pas m’imposer et déranger quelqu’un [NDT: il ne veut pas pourrir le groove des dragueurs, quoi :P]. On apprécie mieux les moments de détente lorsque l’on peut s’amuser sans retenue...

Kayoko: Es-tu en train de me dire...

Mot de l’auteur: Le 4ème volume sera en vente le 5 juin. Je compte sur vous ! Je me suis récemment acheté une voiture, même suis je ne suis qu’une conductrice du dimanche. J’espère que je n’aurai pas d’accident... !

Kayoko: ...you’re enjoying this walk with me without hesitation?

Ogata: I love going for strolls.

Kayoko: I see.

Kayoko: Ordinary fun as it is...

Kayoko: ...I feel like I’m fully enjoying this summer.

Voices: Cheers!

*Even at evening drinking parties, they all had ulterior motives.*

Kayoko: ...que tu t’amuses sans retenue au cours de cette balade avec moi ?

Ogata: J’adore me promener.

Kayoko: Ah bon.

Kayoko: Ça a beau être un loisir somme toute quelconque...

Kayoko: ...j’ai l’impression de profiter pleinement de cet été.

Voix: Santé !

*Même pendant les soirées, ils avaient tous des arrières-pensées.*

*The merrymaking truly started after the professors took their leave.*

*Both she and I would try to leave early.*

Blond: *Today, Akemi-chan finally gave me the OK!*

Akemi: *I was deceived...*

Student: *Seriously?!*

Kayoko: I’m a bit tipsy so I’ll be going first.

Girl: Ok!

*I would often chase after her to walk her home after she left.*

*But since it wasn’t something we planned together beforehand, in some cases I would never catch up to her.*

Ogata: I'd like to leave the party with her, but if others start making a rumor of it it might inconvenience Takeuchi-san...

*That night...*

*La fête ne commençait réellement qu’une fois les professeurs partis.*

*Elle comme moi essayions de partir tôt.*

Blond: *Aujourd’hui, Akemi-chan m’a enfin dit oui !*

Akemi: *J’ai été dupée...*

Etudiant: *Sérieux ?!*

Kayoko: Je suis un peu pompette, je vais rentrer.

Fille: Ok !

*Je partais souvent peu de temps après elle pour la raccompagner.*

*Mais puisque ce n’était pas quelque chose dont nous avions convenu tous les deux, il m’est arrivé plusieurs fois de ne pas pouvoir la retrouver.*

Ogata: J’aimerais bien partir en même temps qu’elle, mais si les autres en font tout un foin ça risque de gêner Takeuchi-san...

*Cette nuit-là...*

*...she was by the sea.*

Ogata: Can I sit next to you?

Kayoko: Sure.

Ogata: Here.

Kayoko: Thank you.

Ogata: So you’d rather go to the beach at night.

*...elle était sur la plage.*

Ogata: Je peux m’asseoir ?

Kayoko: Vas-y.

Ogata: Tiens.

Kayoko: Merci.

Ogata: Alors comme ça tu préfères aller à la plage le soir...

Kayoko: It’s too hot and crowded at daytime.

Kayoko: It might sound like I’m a sore loser since I can’t swim, but I like the sea better when it’s cooled down a bit.

Ogata: Yeah, it’s not bad. *The cold sand is refreshing.*

Kayoko: Right?

Kayoko: Il fait trop chaud et c’est bondé en journée.

Kayoko: Ça fait un peu mauvaise perdante vu que je ne sais pas nager, mais je préfère la mer quand elle est fraîche.

Ogata: Oui, ce n’est pas mal. *Le sable froid est rafraîchissant.*

Kayoko: N’est-ce pas ?

[bigger pic here]

No text

Ogata: ...Did we...

Ogata: ...just kiss right now?

*laughs*

Kayoko: Wanna make sure?

Ogata: ...On vient...

Ogata: ...de s’embrasser, là, non ?

*rit*

Kayoko: Tu veux t’en assurer ?

Ogata: ...

Ogata: ...looks like we did.

Ogata: ...

Ogata: ...On dirait bien que oui.

Ogata: Takeuchi-san.

Ogata: Would you go out with me?

Ogata: I know I’m no good at talking, and I’m boring when I’m on “off” mode...

Ogata: Takeuchi-san.

Ogata: Tu voudrais bien sortir avec moi ?

Ogata: Je sais que je ne suis pas doué pour la conversation, et que je suis barbant quand je suis en mode “off”...

Ogata: I’ve been dumped many times because of that, but...

Ogata: You’re willing to wait for me to speak and I love spending time with you, Takeuchi-san!

*It’s the first time since I was born...*

*...that I’m the one who confesses.*

*I can’t breathe.*

*My heart is beating fast.*

*I'm sure...*

Ogata: J’ai été largué plein de fois à cause de ça, mais...

Ogata: Tu as la patience d’attendre que je parle, et j’adore être avec Takeuchi-san !

*C’est la première fois depuis que je suis né...*

*...que c’est moi qui fais ma déclaration.*

*Je n’arrive plus à respirer.*

*Mon cœur bat la chamade.*

*Je suis sûr...*

Kayoko: I like you too, Ogata-kun.

*...that I will never forget this day.*

Kayoko: So I’m happy!

Kayoko: Moi aussi je t’aime, Ogata-kun.

*...que ce jour restera à jamais gravé dans ma mémoire.*

Kayoko: Alors je suis heureuse !

Hisa’s thoughts on the chapter: 

This is the start of Ogata’s arc that should span 4 chapters. This first glimpse is really sweet, and it’s nice to see that “older” characters get to have their own background story too. Read carefully the upcoming chapters, you’ll see this arc is not as innocent as it may seem! And for those who are only here for the main characters, see you in Index 27!

[fidgetheart]

here’s my 100% self-indulgent canon related, canon insert wc oc

this will most likely be uploaded onto my dA account which is why I’m using that username rather than this one it is now on my dA account and I ended up changing my username on there so I needed to edit my watermark

also this is 100% an AU - I also don’t really remember much of the plots in Po3 and OotS, so I’m probably gonna be skipping/missing important stuff like the three going to the mountains - I also haven’t really thought out her role in OotS, so that part’s gonna be pretty vague tbh, and there’s not going to be anything relating to AVoS just yet since I haven’t thought that out either

and I forgot about BS as well so that’s not gonna be mentioned

also this turned out longer than I had planned whoops

more info under the cut:

Name(s): Redkit, Redpaw, Redthroat Clan: ThunderClan Rank: Medicine cat Father: Bramblestar Mother: Squirrelflight Brother(s): Lionblaze (foster), Jaytalon (foster), Alderheart, Juniperkit Sister(s): Hollyleaf (foster), Sparkfang, Dandelionkit Mate(s): N/A Kit(s): N/A Mentor(s): Sorreltail, Leafpool Apprentice(s): Alderheart Book-esque description: dark brown-and-ginger she-cat with odd colored eyes Detailed description: scarred, dark brown-and-ginger she-cat with a plumy tail, one white paw, and odd colored eyes (one amber, one green) Name meaning: Red- for her ginger patches, -throat for the distinctive ginger patch on her throat Nickname(s): Batty (called that specifically by Hollyleaf, due to her ears being slightly larger than average)

okay, so Squirrelflight is actually pregnant the same time Leafpool is, and the two leave the Clan for about two moons (shortly after Leaf discovers she’s pregnant), with Leaf claiming StarClan willed her to do so so she can reconnect with them after running off with Crowfeather, and that Squirrel needed to tag along to protect her. the only one who knew what was happening was Brambleclaw

Leafpool gave birth to Lionkit, Jaykit, and Hollykit, and a day or so later, Squirrel gave birth to Redkit. Squirrel was able to start nursing Leaf’s kits almost immediately since she was producing milk, though struggled with feeding four kits, when she herself only had one

when they returned to the Clan, everyone believed the four kits to be Squirrel’s, though Bramble knew that Lion, Jay, and Holly were actually Leaf’s. Ferncloud still helped nurse the kits, since Squirrel was struggling to feed four of them, though Squirrel spends more time in the nursery than in canon

around the time the four are about to me made apprentices, they hear about the fox cubs lurking somewhere on ThunderClan territory, and Holly, Lion, and Jay decide that they should go out and kill the foxes themselves to prove themselves to their Clan. Red disagrees with their idea, being the more skittish sibling of the four, and tries to persuade them to stay. the three don’t listen and leave without her, though Red keeps their mission a secret, not wanting to get them in trouble, and ends up hiding behind the nursery to keep from being questioned about their whereabouts 

Red ends up sneaking out of her hiding space in time to see Jay falling into camp, and she immediately runs to his side, obviously distressed and panicked, and is comforted by Bramble and Squirrel as Leaf immediately begins to look over Jay

although Red didn’t leave the camp, she still gets in trouble alongside her siblings since she didn’t tell anyone of their plan, but none of them are punished, since it’s agreed that they’ve been through enough

Red is later apprenticed to Sorreltail, Holly to Brackenfur, Lion to Ashfur, and Jay to Brightheart - unlike canon, Holly doesn’t briefly train as a med cat, and Jay doesn’t end up training as a med cat

despite her skittish nature, Red proves herself to be a fine apprentice, and with the help of Sorrel, she begins to come out of her shell, becoming more adventurous and outgoing. she does her best to help Jay with his training, and often practices with her siblings in general whenever she’s not doing her chores or out of the camp with her mentor

when Jay reveals the kin of your kin prophecy to his siblings, proudly noting it’s about them, Red immediately hopes that she’s not one of the three, feeling intimidated by the idea of being involved with a prophecy, but promises her siblings she’ll do anything she can to help them with said prophecy

it’s during their apprenticeship that Red starts crushing hard on Honeypaw, despite the other she-cat mooning over Berrynose, though does her best to hide it. she doesn’t hide it very well, leading to her siblings constantly teasing her about it

when Sol arrived to the Clans, Red, alongside her siblings and most of the Clan, was captivated by him, curious to where he was from and how he seemed to know so much about everything despite being an outsider. later on, however, she begins to grow more wary of him, feeling he would bring nothing but trouble, but stays quiet, unsure of how to talk to her siblings about it when they clearly looked to him for answers

when Honey is killed saving Briarkit from an adder, Red is devastated, since the two were actually close friends, and her siblings do their best to comfort her. she’s able to move on from Honey’s death despite the loss, and finds comfort in the shared grief she has with her mentor

during the battle against WindClan and RiverClan, Red received a nasty wound to her left side leading down to her underbelly, but she pushed on despite the pain, refusing to give up. once the battle was over, she went to Leaf for treatment, but found her mother seriously wounded. ignoring her own wound, she stayed by Squirrel’s side with her siblings, terrified that her mother wouldn’t make it. Leaf was able to finally coax her away to treat her wound, though by then, she warned the apprentice that, more than likely, her wound would scar

soon after the battle, when Squirrel was able to get back on her feet, the four were made warriors alongside Cinderpaw, with the five being named Cinderheart, Lionblaze, Hollyleaf, Jaytalon, and Redthroat

some time later, Redthroat was out hunting alone when a lightning strike started a fire in ThunderClan territory. panicked, she rushed back to camp, only to find that her Clanmates had fled - however, she spotted her mother and siblings struggling to get out, and saw her siblings trapped in a ring of fire

she rushed to help, though had to go around to get up to where they were at, since it was much to dangerous to go through the camp to get to them. by the time she reached them, she spotted Ashfur blocking her mother’s way to her siblings, and she overheard him telling her she was going to pay for what she had done

Squirrel attacked him, but due to being weakened from her wound, he easily threw her off and pinned her. before he could hurt her, however, Red bowled into Ash, knocking him off her mother, and began to fight him. she was in better health than her mother, but she still healing from her own wounds, and was no match against the healthier warrior. still, their fight was vicious and bloody, and Red was successful in stalling him long enough to allow her siblings to escape the ring of fire and flee with their mother

Red was able to pushed Ash off of her and was about to race after them when he attacked her once more, clawing at her right eye before slashing at her throat. before he could kill her, Holly came rushing back and lunged at Ash, grabbing his throat in her jaws and killing him

with the help of Lion, Holly was able to carry Red back to Jay and Squirrel, where the four made their way down to their Clanmates, Red struggling to remain conscious. Leaf was able to save Red despite the lack of herbs, and when the other three were questioned, they were reluctant to say what happened, shocked by the sudden turn in events. however, Squirrel was finally able to explain to the Clan what had happened, and was about to lie and say Ash’s death was accidentally, but Holly interrupted and admitted she had killed him before Squirrel could, weakly defending her actions that she had to save her sister

the Clan was shocked and horrified about what happened, especially Ferncloud, but no one blamed Holly for killing Ash, as she did what she had to do. however, Holly blamed herself, and was unsettled by what she had done. 

once the fire went out, the Clan returned back to camp, relieved to find it relatively undamaged, but they were quiet, still reeling but the sudden events. Red stayed in Leaf’s den, spending most of the time sleeping and recovering from her injuries, though was frequently visited by her parents and siblings

soon, Fern ends up visiting her, mortified at her brother’s actions, and apologizes to the kit she helped raised profusely, blaming herself for not seeing what Ash was capable of. Red assures her she doesn’t blame her, and tells her she shouldn’t blame herself either, since Ash was more than capable of making his own decisions

as Red recovered, Jay started receiving dreams from Spottedleaf and Yellowfang, both of them telling him that the secret can be kept no longer, and soon telling him that Squirrel and Bramble are not his parents. confused, but also feeling angry, he confronts Squirrel and Bramble alone, where they finally tell him the truth: he, Holly, and Lion are not their actual kits

hurt, confused, and angry, Jay confides in Holly and Lion about the sudden revelation, and the three began to distance themselves from Squirrel, Bramble, and Red - unsure of how to handle the news. it isn’t long until Leaf comes clean with them, admitting to them that they were her kits, and their father was Crowfeather

this sends the three reeling with shock, and they distance themselves completely from Squirrel, Bramble, Leaf, and Red. it isn’t long until Holly, shocked with the revelation and still struggling to cope with killing Ash, revels the secret to the rest of her Clan, shocking her brothers

the Clan is shocked by the announcement, but Bramble and Leaf are permitted to keep their positions despite what had happened, though Leaf reluctantly promises to step down once she has someone to take her place. Red is also stunned by the announcement, and is uncertain how to react - she’s hurt about the lie her parents told, but at the same time, she understands why they did what they did, and remains close to them

however, she’s unsure how to approach the cats she once called her siblings, since they’re adamant on avoiding her, so she gives them their space, spending her days alone in the medicine den with Leaf keeping her company. shortly after Holly’s announcement, she ends up disappearing into the tunnels despite Jay’s and Lion’s pleading to stay, and is believed to be dead when the opening collapses. her brothers claim she had been chasing a rabbit when it happened, and the Clan believes it

Red is devastated by the news of Holly’s death, and she finally confronts Lion and Jay about their separation, telling them that they may not actually be her brothers, but she will always see them as such, and she misses Holly just as much as they do. the three slowly reconnect once more, but it isn’t until Red is able to move back into the warriors’ den that they truly reconnect

however, Ash’s attack has hurt her mentally as well as physically, and although she’s still able to serve her Clan as a warrior, she finds herself struggling when it comes to physical conflict, and begins to pull into herself, losing her bubbly personality. this worries her family, but they are unsure of how to help her

a few moons later, Red approaches Leaf and asks her to take her on as her apprentice. Leaf is startled and asks her why, and Red admits that she’s lost the will to serve her Clan as a warrior, but during her stay in the medicine cat den, she gained an interest in healing. Leaf agrees, and Firestar soon announces Red as the new medicine cat apprentice

Jay and Lion are shocked that she has no quarrel against Leaf (or Squirrel and Bramble for that matter) after what happened, and she finally snaps at them, telling them that while the lies were hard for them to deal with, it didn’t mean she needed to reject them like they had. she also adds that she understands why Squirrel did what she did, and says that she would do anything to protect them (Lion and Jay), even if it meant lying to the Clan like that

despite their argument, the three remain close, though it doesn’t change Lion’s and Jay’s views on their kin

moons go by, and the Clan seems to have forgotten the fire and the revelations that came from it. Red earns her place as full medicine cat, and Leaf upholds her promise, stepping down from her position. Red, however, tries to persuade her to remain a medicine cat, having grown close to her aunt over those many moons, but Leaf assures her she’ll be alright

Red finds herself alone in the medicine cat den, and finds herself growing rather lonely without anyone there with her. she begins to sleep outside of the den rather than inside of it under the stars in an attempt to feel closer to her Clanmates, but despite that, she begins to open up once more

she soon adjusts to sleeping alone, but she notices that Leaf is struggling to adapt to being a warrior. feeling bad for her aunt, she begins to occasional bring Leaf back into the med den, asking her questions about herbs despite knowing the answers to them. Leaf knows fully well what Red is doing, but doesn’t say anything, grateful that she’s trying to help

when Dovekit and Ivykit are born, Jay and Lion confide in Red, telling her that they believe that one of them is the third cat to the prophecy, since it had been ruled out long ago that Red was most definitely not the third cat. Red reminds them of the promise she made to them moons prior, that she would do anything to help them fulfill the prophecy, and assures them she’ll do her best to continue to uphold that promise

when Dove begins to express confusion as to why no one was doing anything about the weird large animals causing the drought, Red immediately knows she’s part of the prophecy, and warns her brothers that, while Dove is involved, they need to remember she’s still just an apprentice

as moons go by, Red begins to notice that multiple warriors are waking with mysterious wounds, and begins to grow worried. she confides in the other medicine cats, who admit that they’re noticing the same in their respective Clans, and her worry grows. she ends up telling this to Lion and Jay, fearing it may have something to do with the prophecy, and they promise her they’ll do everything they can to figure things out

Ivypool ends up confiding in Red about the Dark Forest, after being encouraged by the three to do so, and Red is alarmed. she asks if Ivy can leave, and Ivy admits that she’s promised the three she would stay as their spy. Red’s alarm grows, but she knows there’s nothing she can do to persuade them otherwise, and wishes Ivy the best, knowing she would face a difficult path

a moon later, when Red is out gathering herbs alone, she’s startled by a voice behind her saying, “Hey, Batty”. she instantly recognizes the voice and her nickname, and she’s ecstatic when she finds Holly alive and well. eagerly, she brings her back to the Clan, thrilled to be united once more with her sister. she, Lion, and Jay catch Holly up on everything that’s happened, and when Holly learns about the situation between them and Leaf, Squirrel, and Bramble, she asks her brothers to be kinder to their kin. Lion and Jay are surprised, but Red supports Holly’s decision, relieved that Holly had time to collect herself

when Red and the other medicine cats are told that each Clan must stand as their own, and that even StarClan has borders, Red fights against that, mortified at the idea. she tries to convince the others that the four Clans need each other to survive, that they can’t if even one Clan falls, but the others refuse to side with her, and she reluctantly explains StarClan’s decision to her own Clan

 Red is out walking with Jay when Flametail falls through the ice, and when Jay dives into the water after him, she’s terrified she’s going to lose him. however, Jay is able to bring Flame back to the surface, and Red immediately begins to do her best to try and save the tom, helping Dawnpelt carry him back into ShadowClan while Jay goes back to ThunderClan to explain what happened. however, despite Littlecloud’s and Red’s attempt at saving him, Flame ends up dying later that night

Red mourns the loss of Flame, and comforts Little the best she can before being escorted back to her territory

however, Flame is able to reunite StarClan shortly before the Dark Forest attacks, and the med cats are able to convince their leaders to meet the others at the Gathering island to plan a way to handle the impending battle

when the battle finally comes, Red has Leaf stay inside the med den with Briarlight, knowing she would need all the help she could get to treat the wounded, and guards the den, horrified at the ferocity of the battle

it’s during the second wave of attacks that she spots Ash fighting on the side of the Dark Forest, and it doesn’t take long for him to see her as well. he goes after her, determined to finish what he had started, but Red’s fury brings back her warrior training, and the fight between them is vicious. she’s able to kill him, and feels no remorse for doing so, and continues to stand guard over the med den, helping bring any cat that needs immediate medical attention to the den 

at one point, she’s ganged up on by two Dark Forest warriors, and she struggles to fight both at once. however, Jay quickly comes to her rescue, and the two are able to drive them off

when the battle is finally over, Red is devastated by how many cats were killed, but is able to push aside her grief to help treat the wounded. she’s relieved to see that her parents and siblings are still alive, however, and finds comfort in that small victory

Leaf helps her with treating the wounded, and later helps her prepare the bodies for burial. when Bramble announces Squirrel as his deputy before he and Red travel to the Moonpool, Red makes an announcement of her own, asking Leaf if she would like to become a med cat once again. Leaf agrees with the support of the Clan, even support from her own kits, and Red is more than happy to share her role with Leaf once again

aCK okay so this wasn’t gonna be this long but I got carried away haha 

idk I just really love Red?? idk if I’ll actually do anything with her outside of this, but, yeah, I thought I’d share anyway  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and as for AVoS she primarily trains Alderheart, though she technically shares that duty with Leaf, and she’s thrilled to be able to train her little brother

also Sorrel and Fern don’t die in the Dark Forest battle bc the reasons for their deaths are absolutely stupid (I mean... c’mon, Sorrel dies bc she was too happy?? Fern dies bc fans wanted her to die?? really?? like I get killing off characters bc that battle was intense but going out of the way to explain those reasons as to why those two died is dumb smh)

and I figured that, if the Erins are gonna have Ash snap, might as well go all the way and make him an actual antagonist rather than just a cat that ~”loved too much”~ and gets into StarClan

oh yeah! originally Red was gonna be a tortie, but then I decided just to go with brown-and-ginger rather than black-and-ginger, and decided she was gonna be a great mix of Bramble and Squirrel (hence the different eye colors - also I think she’s a chimera but I haven’t decided yet on that tbh). she was gonna be a tabby, but I didn’t like how the tabby markings were turning out so I just went without ‘em haha. she’s also not blind in her right eye, btw, but her vision is impaired :o

No Driver’s License: Session 5

[adventure log- from the beginning]

[session 4]

Last time on No Driver’s License: wiiiiitch fiiiiiiiiiight, which the players won handily. They went to where Nishi-chan said the safehouse was at, found the witch Ｌａｍｐｌｉｇｈｔ Ｊｏａｎ rampaging, and put her down pretty handily, claiming a weird grief seed that Nishi-chan warned them not to use. Then a scary evil MG showed up and tried to get them to give it to her, and they managed to escape down a hatch to the safehouse right before her giant magic death shark ate them.

(pictured: @drazelic‘s drawing of @eternalfarnham‘s character, Kazama Ibara, who beat the everloving shit out of Joan while getting the everloving shit beat out of her in return.)

So what happens now that they’re in the safe(?)house?

Well, first off, the door to the safehouse led to a vertical shaft- and it was too dark for any of them to see the ladder, so they all tumbled down and landed in a big heap they had to extricate themselves from, to Sakura’s drastic abashment.

So, in the pitch blackness, Seina is the first to try and solve the problem like a reasonable person. She takes out her cell phone that she has, and uses its flashlight. Now they can see! And the only exit to the small room they find themselves in (besides the ladder back up, to where the overpowered shark summoner is waiting) is a dark tunnel that stretches on a long ways.

On their way through the tunnel, Nishi-chan gives them sharkgirl’s name- Yamauchi Yoshe. The name sounds sort of familiar to Sakura, but she doesn’t roll well enough to remember it exactly. So she turns to Google, which also fails, and her school website, which doesn’t have a public register of students. Finally, she tries Facebook- and finds Yoshe’s profile. It’s hidden, but she also finds that a few of her Facebook friends (who are mostly classmates she’s barely if at all spoken to and aren’t actual friends) are friends with Yoshe, making it pretty likely she attends her school. 

Yukari wisely advises not to immediately investigate Yoshe using an online tool that’s connected to her civilian identity, so she drops it there and the team proceeds into the darkness.

At the end of the tunnel, they find the world’s most suspicious object ever: a vase of daffodils on a small desk. There’s also a left turn that leads deeper into the safehouse, but clearly this vase of flowers needs to be investigated in detail.

They thoroughly inspect the incredibly suspicious vase of flowers, and find that it hides exactly zero secrets whatsoever. It’s just flowers. It must be a trap, but they continue on regardless.

At the next bend in the tunnel, they find the second heinous trap on the wall: a motivational poster!!!

They could handle some flowers, but this diabolical obstacle was going FUCKING DOWN

The party is somewhat split on this.

Eventually, the deadly foe is utterly vanquished thanks to Makoto’s heroism.

They finally reach an actual room, with a lightswitch, and turn it on. They find... just, kind of a nice apartment! A clean kitchen, a sofa, more flowers, and a desk covered in half-finished homework. Someone clearly lives here, and- OH FUCK THERE’S MORE MOTIVATIONAL POSTERS, SHIT, IT’S TIME TO TAKE ACTION

Eventually, after Yukari’s outburst quells the rampage of indiscriminate poster destruction, (and after Ibara raids the fridge to address the fact that she hasn’t eaten in like days,) Nishi-chan tries to get people back on track. During the confrontation with Yoshe, she claimed she could bring the magical girl who’d become Lamplight Joan back to life- and is eager to get around to it.

People aren’t exactly eager to trust Nishi-chan, what with how she apparently kinda sort of tried to kill them earlier. A whole lot of questions ensue, including:

“Is Olivia going to be okay? Can she go home?”: Nishi-chan says that Yoshe can only sense people by tracking where their telepathy comes from, and that- since nobody replied to Yoshe back when they were in the apartment- Yoshe probably doesn’t know exactly which apartment they were in at the time, which means Olivia is probably safe. 

“How long are we trapped here?”: Until Yoshe gets bored and decides to go cry to- and then Nishi-chan cuts herself off, not mentioning who exactly Yoshe reports to. Yukari guesses that she has an Incubator on her side.

“What’s up with Incubators? Don’t you take sides against each other, for some reason?”: Nishi-chan unconvincingly lies, saying that, oh yeah, there must be a third incubator on Yoshe’s side, because she and Tama-chan have nothing to do with her at all, HA HA HA WHAT A CRAZY IDEA

They start rolling Seek the Truth to get more info out of Nishi-chan, but they flub their rolls and she clams up, and tries to redirect the conversation back to them handing over Joan’s Grief Seed.

Yukari tries to use her Prophecy power again to find out if this is a bad idea- she looks at the future “if they trust Nishi-chan”, rather than anything more specific. What she gets is... a mess.

While Yukari is trying to make sense of this data, Sakura decides she’s tired of beating around the bush and distrusting people, and tries to covertly slip the Grief Seed to Nishi-chan. Ibara, though, notices what she’s doing, and snatches it away before she can finish. There’s a brief fight that ends in Ibara getting a tick of Trauma on her “disdain for victims” track.

Yukari eventually interprets the data as “trusting Nishi-chan will cause the girl to come back, but we’ll probably get in a fight with her, which could go badly.”

She turns out to be completely correct about this- Nishi-chan eats the seed, and spits out a soul gem. They notice- using uncharacteristically lucky Real rolls- that the gem looks a little weird.

Reiko, apparently, does not like home invaders very much. She doesn’t understand how they all got there, and they’re in her house and it’s her house and how dare they be in her house! It’s supposed to be safe, no one is supposed to be able to bother her there, they CAN’T be here!

She transforms, brandishing her magical weapon- a baseball bat full of nails.

She’s in full-on aggressive panic mode, and everyone scrambles to try to calm her down- trying to fill her in on the situation, explaining that she’d witched out, and so on- but it all goes in one ear and out the other, because she is too busy being ANGRY. Seina tries to use her empathy magic to alter Reiko’s emotions, but unfortunately the magic empathy locks on the wrong emotion- fear of the ghost shark outside. Reiko remains highly agitated.

Yukari tries to be blunt about it, explaining that Reiko became a witch and they were the ones who saved her. This... does not make her less agitated, and has the unfortunate side-effect of alarming the rest of the party- Yukari had tried to dance around the “becoming a witch” part of the exposition earlier. General panic increases.

Sakura, then, decides to defuse the situation in the most direct way she can think of.

Awwww! What a heartfelt gesture! Clearly this means she should roll 2d6+Heart to see if it succeeds, right?

Congratulations, Sakura! You’ve passed your skill check... on resisting Reiko’s passive ability!

Thera, though, requests a retcon- Sakura does not recoil before the fire manages to do any damage. She’s still got candy armor left over from the Lamplight Joan fight! She decides to tank the hit.

Reiko, ultimately, is completely flabbergasted by this gesture, and is a little too confused to start attacking. She shoves Sakura away- and demands that Ibara, who rolled a success on Help Someone Out, start helping her out by giving her information.

Ibara answers several questions, and rats out Nishi-chan as the one who told them that the safehouse was there and helped them get inside. She also tells her about Yoshe, who will definitely kill them if they leave. Reiko is not quite heartless enough to send them to their certain deaths, and being able to blame Nishi-chan helps take the heat off. It’s starting to look like this conflict is defused.

(Because there was no way in any hell that I was going to forget about that.)

So she gets pissed, but Sakura decides to roll Change the World to repair the posters before things can get too nasty. She rolls... a crit 15, which means it succeeds but has noticeable side-effects. One poster ends up with the wave turned to syrup, and her face watermarking the sky.

Reiko, thankfully, doesn’t notice these slight modifications just yet. She does get a little snippy about the stolen food, though. Ibara offers to buy her more groceries- and when the question of money is raised, Makoto holds up the  351025 yen left over from buying a phone for Tama-chan. Reiko’s jaw drops, and she decides that maybe it would be a good thing to have these very rich people feeling indebted to her.

As the team tries to walk away, Reiko grabs Nishi-chan, who does not get forgiveness for bringing strangers into her perfectly secure home. She begins incinerating her.

Most of the team doesn’t give a shit about this. Nishi-chan can respawn, and she’s kind of a dick, and kind of deserves it. Only Sakura remembers the practical problem with letting Nishi-chan temporarily die- without Tama-chan, Nishi-chan is their only relay for the use of telepathy. And without telepathy, Makoto is mute- and Sakura is Bigtime Ultra Gay for Makoto, and doesn’t want to be unable to talk to her.

At Sakura’s protesting, Reiko extinguishes Nishi-chan and flings her at Sakura. Sakura flubs her roll to catch her, and Nishi-chan bounces off her face and flops to the floor. Nishi-chan falls unconscious, and telepathy is temporarily disabled.

Makoto calls out, trying to make her teammates hear her- but no one hears her. 

Luckily for the group, the hiding effect of the safehouse interferes with Yoshe’s telepathy-related tracking abilities. Her ability lets her pick up Makoto’s undirected mental cries (where other MGs would hear nothing without an Incubator as a go-between), but she can’t tell where she is.

Sakura tries to help Makoto communicate by texting with her cell phone, but she flubs her roll and ends up giving information overload, leading Makoto to panic. Sakura takes Trauma on “Isolation from Peers”, and Makoto takes Trauma on “lacks basic knowledge most people would have”.

They eventually reach Reiko’s “big empty room”, and set themselves to the task of finding a way to sleep comfortably on the hard floor. Seina uses Sorcery to produce piles of petals to sleep on- flowerbeds, so to speak. ( :V ). A middling roll means there aren’t enough for all of them to get a bed to themselves- there’s going to be an odd girl out. Ibara volunteers to keep a lookout while the others sleep, and Makoto volunteers to sleep on the floor (because that’s nothing new to her, poor thing.) Ultimately, though, the soluton of “Makoto and Sakura share a bed” is decided upon.

And the session wraps there, with the party finally getting some rest!

Now that a session has ended on something other than a cliffhanger, the players are free to use the channel to play out some scenes of downtime between sessions. Thera and Koho have a scene planned with Sakura and Makoto, and there might be other conversations that happen that night. I’ll be putting those up as Omakes in between session logs. And then, next week... we’ll see what’s waiting for the team when they wake up.
