Wisteria's FG Journal

April (Season 2 - 1/3)

I participated in two little tournaments! Played at almost the top of my game in both of them and had a fun time.

Also tried the tower in Guilty Gear, and while I didn't have as much fun there, it was still a good experience. Some notes and comments from friends got me thinking, and I figured it would be good to post abt it!

A certain kind of comment that stood out to me was how I tended to do "more advanced things" like teching throws or using funny roman cancels, considering that these were just things I ended up deciding to work on early!

I asked for a lot of advice around Guilty Gear's systems and took note of how I saw people using their resources and especially things that people lauded as good decisions and expert use of tools.

It did help, again, that I started with Granblue and the game was significantly more simple so I had a great environment to practice using system mechanics and resources in.

Throwing, especially at lower levels in that game, was basically free if your opponent didn't know how to tech or didn't have a reversal, and the window was so big that it was honestly hard NOT to learn.

Using Bravery Points was also easy and a good way to supplement offense and defense, so those came down the pipe as I fought more opponents who used them.

So when it all came down the pipe, it was just a matter of starting with basic, easy, common uses of tools. Burst could just be used for the regular ol' blue burst, and tension would be for Yellow Roman Cancel- importantly while keeping other use cases in mind. Eventually I started using RCs more for Red and Purple, and on occasion I'd throw out a Blue one. Not on purpose mind, but the instinct is there after building on the basics for a month. Same deal with Gold Burst, Wild Assault, and Deflect Shield - if anything I probably overuse Deflect Shield nowadays and under use Wild Assault.

Already had throw teching under my belt from Granblue so that was an instinct I had that was at least partially honed - Guilty Gear has SO many more opportunities to throw that I've actually developed a bad habit of trying to throw my opponent during inappropriate moments!

After all of this, what actually ended up not being under my belt were various B&B combos, and general execution.

Hilarious honestly

I just don't find em as cool so I didn't do em much!

Definitely one thing I want to look out for now is curbing any bad habits I've picked up. Out of all the things that seems to be the hardest most players have to deal with, so that's going on the list immediately, yet again shunting B&Bs and execution lower on the priority list.

But seriously! Habits are hard to kick, and execution is comparatively easier to train!

So! List!

Unsafe blockstrings

Panic Deflect Shield

Throw as abare

None of these are too bad!

I can keep honing safe options, and go for more unsafe things after I feel like I've gotten a good read on my opponent.

I can Deflect Shield with more purpose- this one's quite punishable if misused, and often trying to Deflect Shield on wakeup gets me killed as there seems to be an issue with the buffer for it. It's simple enough to figure out if I'm getting up if I'm anticipating a throw or if I can block the first hit - if I can block then I'll have an opportunity to DF later. If I feel like they'll throw me it was an inappropriate option!

Finally, I can just jab! And kick! Those are also skills i need to build, and eventually opportunities where it's generally safe to throw as abare will reveal themselves to me, and I can do it then!

That's it for this season folks, thanks for readin!

So...apparently DLF are tempting reylos by saying those who visit the Galactic Starcruiser hotel will have the privilege of discovering Rey and Kylo apparently had a ‘secret’ meeting between the events of TLJ and TROS...and visitors will be able to listen to an audio of it..or something, TBH I have no real idea what they are talking about.

Whatever...I can’t believe the cheek of this company. First of all, this is a pretty expensive way of being able to access a ‘slice of reylo’, so to speak. But most of all..

DLF...you guys KILLED BEN OFF. Period. The fact that he might have gotten his leg over with Rey prior to her repeatedly trying to separate his head from his body throughout most of TROS does not for one moment make up for that. Not for this particular (former) reylo anyway. 

You can throw all kinds of hints, all kinds of bait...but I for one have zero interest in this. Ben is dead. Full stop. I and many other fans want him back. Not as a FG, not as a memory, not in a prequel - and most certainly not in some brat Rey may in the future give birth to post this apparent ‘liason’. 

Actually...I pretty much doubt the latter. They went to so many lengths pushing ‘Virgin Goddess Rey’ I sincerely don’t think she’ll end up giving birth to Ben’s child. And of course...would the Right Honourable Noble Finn lay his pipe in Rey’s garden after Ben had planted a seed there first? I don’t think so.

I don’t know the details of what they are trying to push, but take a look at this - what Rey apparently says to Ben in this weird ‘flashback;:

“I see it, and I cannot turn my back to it. The darkness is rising in you, but you still have a choice. We all have a choice. We belong to one galaxy, and it is a welcome place, if you choose to accept the light within you.

But if your choice is darkness, if your rage and your hate consume whatever compassion is left in your soul, I will meet you face to face and defend the spark of hope that has ignited across the galaxy. I will not let you destroy that which so many have fought for and preserved. Hope will survive.

It is not too late. I believe there is good in you. I need you to believe it too. Show me I am right. Show me that my faith in kindness is not misplaced. There is but one path forward if peace is to prevail. We can lead the way together. Or I will do it alone and mourn the day you were lost forever.”

Okay..maybe I’m wrong but...this little speech has just about hammered the final nail in the coffin of my affection for Rey. What a supercilious, self righteous, judgemental little prig. ‘Rage and hate’...oh, for crying out loud. What about your rage, Rey? What about how you responded to Ben holding out his hand to you...by reaching for a weapon? What about the way you behaved before this...attacking Finn, because he was wearing someone else’s jacket, attacking Luke when his back was to you, beating Kylo on Starkiller but continuing to attack him until you’d disfigured and almost crippled him?

DLF seem to think we reylos will be thrilled by this...all this has done has cemented my dislike for Rey as a character. She’s a hypocrite. 

Ben Solo deserves better. So do his fans. And DLF trying to use the fandom they themselves have destroyed to make a lot of money from are frankly, a disgrace. They don’t deserve a penny of our money.

Never thought I’d agree with a member of the JCF...but this guy sums it all up in a nutshell:

This is what Star Wars is reduced to under Disney. Characters and story is reduced to a Disney experience for wealthy people whom have more money than sense.

My sentiments exactly.

[sugoi-writes]

Question! How in your opinion would fatgum, todoroki, deku and dabi react to their hero s/o getting almost mortally wounded in a fight with an enemy? (they live but they were lucky as hell ) and how do they take care of s/o afterwards?

*cracks knuckles* This is a long one, so buckle up!

TW: violence, bodily harm/body horror, hospitalization.

Scenario: You are in a burning, severely damaged building, helping with evacuation and rescue during a villain attack. As the building starts to collapse, you shove the remaining survivors out, but you fall with the building. 

You have several steel pipes stabbing through you (stomach, right arm and leg), leaving you severely bleeding. To make matters worse, you’ve also earned some 2nd degree burns. You make it to the hospital... but how will your s/o react???

Fatgum

More than likely on patrol in another district, Fatgum hears a distress call from Sun Eater, who was making rounds with you. 

He and R.R rush over to the scene, and all they see are collapsed buildings, fires, and people being rushed off in stretchers. 

There are several heroes helping to fight off a BBEG who has a fire breath weapon/quirk, and super strength. He has countless goonies who are really giving the Pros some trouble.

Fatgum is acting as support, and notices that you were there as well, helping with rescue/evacuation. But Fatgum knows something is off. 

As he intervenes, catching someone with his FatTaxi to slow their fall/momentum, he hears you scream,” GO, NOW!!!”

When the building collapses, it takes everything for Fatgum not to rush to the falling building and rubble. 

He unfortunately gets caught up in a fight, and ends up having to go on the offensive to help the other Pros. 

When all is said and done, Fatgum is in his slim form, completely exhausted. Kirishima is doing his best to help him, supporting his weight. When he sees you before FG, he tries to steer him away. FG, of course, refuses. 

With him needing medical attention as well, he somehow manages to get in the same ambulance as you, and the two of you are carted to the hospital as Kirishima stays to help with cleanup. 

When you are rushed into the ER for surgery, Fatgum wants nothing more than to be there... but he’s separated, and treated for his own injuries. 

When he’s patched up, he spends HOURS outside of the operation wing, wanting to hear something, ANYTHING. He’s on the edge of his seat when Tamaki and Kirishima come to see him. They brought Fatgum some things to munch on, as they know by now that stress eating was one of the only ways to get him back to his jolly state. 

It also helped take some edge off of the situation, as Fatgum looked visibly shaken. All he can hear was the sound of your desperate scream before the building started to crumble, constantly replaying in his mind. 

When the group of 3 heroes are informed of your stabilized status, they’re all immediately relieved, but the doctor adds that you’d be knocked out until next morning, due to the medication(s) you were on. 

When Fatgum is allowed to enter your room, he almost immediately rushes to your side, kissing your hand and gripping it tightly as he watches you breathe, labored and slow. Kirishima and Tamaki can only hover around and try to comfort him, knowing that he’s going to be stubborn, unable to leave your side until you wake up. 

Fatgum will just kiss your bloodied, patched up knuckles, smiling shakily as he watches you recover,” ...hopefully you won’t have to see me like this when you wake up...” he says softly. He smiles sadly,” Even if you think it looks pretty hot... Hahaha... haaa...” His head hangs a little lower, his voice softening as he looks back up to your calm, emotionless face,” I could really hound you about not being more careful... but I’m not one to talk. Wake up soon, so I can bring you some takeout and see your smile again...”

When you do wake up, Kirishima is the one to shake Fatgum awake. Being in his slim state still, you’re the first to tense up. However, you start to cough, the tension in your chest making your ribs and stomach hurt. Fatgum pushes up back down, so you can lay back down.

“Don’t get up... I...I know I look rough. But I’m here for you, Gummy Bear. And I’m just glad that you’re okay.”

Todoroki

Todoroki, in the middle of training, gets a call from his sister. She sounds panicked, and urges Todo not to turn on the TV for any reason for the next few hours. Todoroki seems confused, and disregards his sister’s plea. 

When he turns on the TV... he sees what’s happening. The burning buildings... the smug grin on the villain’s face... and countless bodies in the streets. The camera pans to several people being carted away on stretchers, and low and behold... you were one of them. You were unconscious, a mask over your face to supply you with fresh oxygen as the air continued to fill with smoke and ash. 

Todoroki sprung from his spot, throwing his shoes and coat on almost violently. He knows his father would be on sight, as the Number One Hero, meaning that his agents were too. He makes several desperate calls to try and figure out where you were being taken. After the third attempt, someone finally caves and tells him. Todoroki knew that you were being rushed to the ER, and your surgery would be underway very shortly. 

Todoroki is there within 15 minutes, and he immediately runs into his siblings, who were trying to intervene. They knew he would be there, and that he would be distraught. 

As his sister tries to calm him, Todo’s breath is chilled the instant he exhales, and his hands are trembling, both of them subtly reflecting their quirks. He was a mess and a mixing pot of emotions. Who was responsible for this mess? Why were you on the scene, in a burning building, all alone? Why didn’t you have back up from the inside???

So many thoughts swarmed around in his head as he silently fumed and despaired, scared that the unthinkable could happen to you. But his siblings tried to keep him calm, talking with him and urging him to try and focus on positive thoughts. 

When the doctor strolled out, bearing the mildly good news, Todoroki nearly broke, his hands coming up to his face and he shuddered, not wanting to show that he was in tears. He was relieved. He was furious. He was so scared for you. 

The Todorokis were cautious as they walked towards your room. You were still unconscious, with a series of instruments and IVs hooked up to you to keep you stable. 

Todoroki could only hesitantly cup your cheeks, watching as your breath fogged up the mask over your face. He sighed shakily, kissing the top of your forehead, careful to not accidentally move you. 

“...I’m so sorry that I wasn’t there to help you...” he would rasp quietly, while his siblings stepped back,” ...I promise... never to leave your side again. No matter what happens, whatever agency you chose or where you’re assigned... I’ll be there to support you. I’ll never let this happen to you--to either of us--again...”

When you do wake up, Todoroki has both of his hands wrapped around one of yours, his head leaning on the headboard of your hospital bed. His siblings are long gone. When Todoroki slowly starts to wake up, he immediately feels a surge of relief, and kisses the top of your head again, tears flowing freely. This was the Todoroki you knew. The stoic exterior has broken, almost completely, as you lay there, unable to reach up and hug him back. You try to rasp something out, but your voice is shattered from your final screams of agony. 

Todoroki calms himself, pulling away briefly as he gives you a very tired, relieved smile,” ..I-It’s going to be alright...I..I’m here now, baby...”

Izuku

Full Cowlings, Detroit and Delaware Smashes... Izuku is going ham on the scene of the incident, acting as a major player on the offensive team. He knows that you are the careful type, and typically trusts your judgements. After all, you were smart and your quirk was unique. The chances of you being in trouble were slim, as long as you had back up. 

But as a villain grabbed him by his collar, and violently flung him against a building, he felt the ground beginning to shake. His eyes widened in horror as he narrowly recovered, a villain smashing violently into the compromised building. 

He heard you scream, and that was it for him. He crouched down, using as much of OFA as he could, before springing towards your voice. However, this was the perfect window, and another villain snatched him up midair, slamming him back down to the ground below. By the time he covered, the building was already in ruins. Fury surged through him, as he mustered all he could into an obliterating series of kicks and punches, knocking several villains out of his way as he nearly pole vaulted towards you. 

Izuku started moving rubble, able to identify where you fell by your wavering voice and hiccups of pain. Uraraka was quick to stop him, as his reckless actions could actually endanger you. 

Uraraka lifted the parts of the building that were crushing you, and both she and Deku turned white as snow. 

There you were, crumbled and trembling, your voice coming in heavy, wavering pants. 

“Pl...Please... don’t... don’t look, Izuku...” you pleaded, immobilized. But Deku was already lunging towards you, barking over his shoulder for help. You started blacking out by this point. All you remember were visions of heroes prying you out safely. Nurses and field staff were carrying you. Lastly, you saw flashes of desperate, green eyes, looking to you in desperation. 

“Please, Y/N! Don’t give up! Keep fighting to stay awake!”

However, despite your struggle to keep conscious, you lost the battle, and your vision faded to black. You couldn’t remember how long you slept. But occasionally, you would hear a voice or two, talking to or of you. Maybe it was the doctors... probably All Might, Izuku... all of these voices swirled in your mind as you rested, unable to rouse yourself. You were completely and utterly exhausted. 

When you did wake up, All Might stood next to you, clutching his chest in relief. You tried to speak up, but he shushes you quickly, pointing to Izuku. 

He was in the hospital bed next to you, almost as messed up as you were. Your heart dropped into your stomach, but All Might ruffled your hair, sighing. 

“I understand... your relationship with Young Midoriya. He cares a great deal about you. But, at least for his sake... you need to be careful...” he would comment, shortly after asking you how you were feeling, and what you remember. 

“Midoriya, the poor boy... he left straight for the front lines again when another building started to fall. I don’t know how he did it, but he managed to hold up almost half of the building... he saved so many people, but it ended up almost crushing him in the process. And even then... he still climbed up, and screamed that he would protect everyone.” 

All Might sat on the edge of your bed,” ...he specifically said that he would protect you, too...”

Your eyes swelled with tears, as you listened to Izuku’s mentor. You were more than familiar with Izuku pushing himself and his body to its absolute limit, but supporting an entire building... that had to take insane mental and physical strength. 

“The good news is: he will recover. Slowly, VERY slowly... but surely. The both of you are lucky to be alive. The bad news... is that you will both need pretty intensive care for about a month. But... until then, I was at least able to place him in the same room as you.” 

All Might’s cheeks flashed with a small blush, as he sighed and scratched the back of his head,” Kids these days...” he grumbles tiredly, standing up slowly

“Try and get some rest. I’m sure you’ll need it once he wakes up.”

You nod, thanking All Might for the considerate update. You reach out, and are surprised to see that your hand could just barely reach the edge of his bed. You smile sadly, tears running down your cheeks,” ...you idiot... you had to go feral again, didn’t you?”

Dabi

He knew the ins and outs of this operation, as he was familiar with these set of villains initiating the attack. Shigaraki was more than happy to make his own move, using the other attack as a distraction.

Dabi trusted that you would not be in the district, thinking that you would be wrapped up in a boring patrol or worse... paperwork. But boy, was he wrong. 

Word got to him quickly, as Toga went undercover, against Dabi’s wishes. Feigning as an innocent bystander, she saw you falling, and ultimately had thought you died. She warned Dabi not to come, and that this was what he gets for getting involved with a Pro Hero. 

Dabi did not like that. And Dabi would see to it that you would be safe from now on. 

Long after your surgery, in the middle of the night: that was when he appeared. 

Many of the staff were long gone, and it had dwindled down to the few souls on the graveyard shift. Many were so tired from the amount of patients they had, hurriedly making their rounds so they could lounge/decompress from the horrors they saw today. 

Sneaking through the roof’s entrance, Toga was more than able to snag a new disguise, blood and all. As she strolled through, dressed as one of the nurses. Meanwhile, Dabi was dressed in all black, slinking a few feet behind her with a turtleneck, coat, and shades on. 

He would duck into open rooms and corridors should anyone pass, while Toga was more than capable of keeping up her ruse. 

When they got to the Post-OP ward, it took only a few tries to find you. 

And there you were... laying so weakly, defenselessly on your hospital bed, countless machines hooked onto you. Toga would later regret not taking any of your blood for future use. 

Toga locked the door behind them as Dabi closed in on you, reaching out to you,”...Little mouse... it’s time to wake up.” 

Your eyelids flutter as a new voice invades your senses, before a cool hand presses to your forehead. You feel Dabi’s hand brush your hair away from your face, before you slam your eyes open. 

You practically seize at the sight of him before you, unable to move. You trembled softly, a cautious smile stretching across your lips,” D....Dabi... you can’t... h-how... did you--”

Dabi is swift to cut you off, leaning down to where his lips could almost brush against your oxygen mask. 

“That’s something we can discuss later... I have a bone to pick with you, little mouse...” You winced as Dabi’s hand slams against the bed, nearly colliding with you head as you stare back up at Dabi anxiously. 

“Do you know... why I’m here?” Dabi asks you calmly, causing you to flush ever so slightly. “I-Is it... because I got hurt...?”

Dabi sighs exasperatedly, looking back to you,” If it were a minor injury, I wouldn’t have bothered... but that little stunt you pulled today almost had you killed,” Dabi practically growls, leaving your heart hammering in your chest. You glance away, unable to deny this. 

“I-I know... I... wasn’t thinking clearly. I promise, next time, I won’t--”

“Next time?” Dabi mocks, his brows furrowing. He smirks, a low chuckle erupting in his chest,” Little mouse, there will be no ‘next time’...” 

You blink with confusion as Dabi leans closer, his lips brushing against the shell of your ear,” ...as soon as you’re recovered... as soon as you get out of this god forsaken place... you’re coming with me. And you will never. Ever. Leave my side again.” 

You try to protest as you feel his hot breath against your ear, trembling. It would be even more dangerous to stay with him. A Pro Hero and a villain being in a relationship secretly is one thing... but between all of the times that you or him covered for one another, leaked confidential information, or... been in the same bed... you would both be done for if word got out. 

“...Toga-kun here... is willing to bust you out with me... You will not be forced to join The League. But we will house you, while you go on a permanent Hero’s Hiatus. You will take the time you need to recover. And you will NOT. Leave the base... unless I say so... because I can’t trust you to act with your best judgement safely.” Dabi laughs, but his laughter quickly died to a weak chuckle,” ...don’t you get it...? I nearly lost you again today.” 

Dabi’s voice wavers momentarily, before his eyes hardened again. You shrink under his gaze, as his eyes burrow into yours,” ...and I’m not going to risk losing you again. Even if I have to take matters into my own hands... and force you to be an obedient, careful little pet...”

You shudder at his words, wincing in pain shortly after. Dabi’s expression softens for a moment, as he removes the mask covering your face momentarily. 

He leans down, placing a chaste kiss to your lips, before slowly pulling away. You swore that Dabi’s eyes were glassy. But before you could call him out on this, Dabi let go of your face mask. It reconnects with your face suddenly, stinging as it violently settles back in place. 

Dabi smiles, the snap of the elastic amusing him. You looked disgruntled, and he wouldn’t mind seeing you that way more. 

“...I’ll be back for you soon, babe... so make sure... that you take extra care while I’m gone.” Dabi rumbles lowly, pinching your cheek before standing upright. Toga gives him a nod, telling him that the coast is clear. And just like that, Dabi and Toga slip out without a trace, leaving your mind spinning and your chest heaving.

(Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed! <3)

Encore - POYW - Harry Hook x reader - part 23 - finishing touches

=

You hummed around your fork as the creamy buttercream hit your tongue, looking down at your lap that held your aunt's tablet as you looked over the concept art your aunt had made for your wedding cake.

They ranged from sheet cakes with black and red swirling designs to four-tiered cakes with black and silver designs with red roses decorating the top and bottom tiers.

“these are all so pretty, I have no clue which one to choose” you sighed, setting down the fork next to the crumbs of your once existing sample cake, you and Harry had decided on the flavors a bit ago, chocolate raspberry truffle cake with raspberry glaze and chocolate buttercream and angel food with light vanilla buttercream.

Tonks, your aunt, laughed and held her hand out for the tablet, you leaning over with it and placing it in her hand “that’s no problem if you can't decide right now, there's no rush since your wedding isn’t till…have you decided when you’ll get married?” you paused at her question and shrugged, you honestly didn’t remember if you and Harry had decided on a date, almost everything was ready and set.

The place, the décor, the flowers, the bridesmaids, groomsmen, junior bridesmaids, and groomsmen all chosen, their clothes and accessories ready to be of use. the flower girls were chosen and their clothes ready, the place where you would have the reception at was chosen, the food at the reception was chosen, who was going to marry you and Harry (FG offered to marry the two of you, being the one to originally separate you she wanted to officially bind you together as an apology), who was going to give you away (your aunt), the archway you were going to be married under was designed, Evie said your dress and Harrys suit was ready, the guest list was long since completed, all that was left to do was chose the cake design and decide the time and day to get married really.

“not sure yet, I’ll ask Harry the next time we talk about wedding stuff” you smiled as Tonks gave you a grin and flipped through her cake designs again.

“im sure you’ll pick the best day, now pick a cake” she slid the tablet back over to you. You picked it up and scrolled through the designs again.

You finally decided on the four-tiered cake with white fondant and silver piping designs, with black borders and red roses swirling from the top to the bottom. “great choice, now I think you have a final dress fitting to get to~” Tonks teased, standing to give you a hug and waving you off as you walked into the back to go through a portal to the descendant's universe.

You stuck your key into the storage room door lock and turned it, the portal opening behind the closed door. You swung it open and stepped into the shimmering light portal.

A moment later you stepped out into Evie's starter castle, calling out to her to let her know you were there “Evie!! Im here!” you heard her call back to you from the greenhouse turned office and you made your way over to her. “so I heard that my dress is ready?” Evie spun in her chair, facing away from the light purple dress she was working on, and nodded with a bright grin.

“All ready! Harry's suit is done too but I’ll have him come by later, try it on!” she dashed over to one of her movable dress wracks and plucked a gorgeous white dress with billowy sheen sleeves, a plunging sweetheart neckline, and a long sheer train that flowed from the back. “here you go! Now go go! I want to see the finished product on you!” she squealed, jumping in excitement as you took the dress and went to go change behind the changing screen Evie had installed a while ago for her costumers that came personally to her office.

It took a minute or two to get into the dress, with all the fabric but it was pretty easy to figure out how to put it on. Finally, you zipped up the back and picked up the skirt, and stepped out from behind the changing screen.

Evie gasped and clapped erratically “O M G it's perfect~!!! You look so amazing!!!” you let out a small laugh and let Evie lead you to her standing mirror, gasping at your reflection.

(yes im showing the design again im so damn proud of this dress i want it for my own wedding if i ever have one)

It was exactly the way you had designed it, from the small gems decorating your neckline to the white sapphire waist overlay “Evie, it's perfect” your voice cracked, pure happiness overwhelming you “it’s exactly what I wanted, and dreamed of”

“thank you so much for trusting me with it (y/n), and it's beautiful because you designed it too, you have an amazing eye for fashion” Evie giggled, holding onto your shoulders and smiling at you in the reflection of the mirror. “you are going to take Harry's breath away on your wedding day”

You laughed again, wiping the tears from your eyes and turning, wrapping your arms around Evie and hugging her tightly “thank you so much Evie” she hummed and hugged you back.

“you’re welcome (y/n), it’s the least I could do for all I've done” you raised your brow and leaned back, about to ask her what she meant before you remembered she had helped Mal kidnap you to have FG transport you back to your world.

“Still, thank you” you patted her arm, twirling back around and admiring the dress again. “I love it so much.”

“im glad” Evie sang, walking back over to her desk and continuing on the dress she had paused working on when you walked “so is everything almost done?”

“yep” you chirped, spinning and grinning to yourself as the skirt and train flared around you. “it’s all done actually, all that’s left is for Harry to try on his suit and for us to pick a day and time”

“oh, the archway is finished?” Evie asked, looking over her shoulder at you. The archway that you and Harry would be married under would be installed on your new ship for your wedding, but you and Harry had gone through a billion designs before finding the perfect one, and it had just been finished building and all it needed were its white and red roses decorating the main top boards.

“yep, Harry and I approved the final work two nights ago, we’re basically ready to get married at any point now” you turned and walked back over to the changing screen, unzipping the dress and letting it fall down your arms. “again, just need to pick a day”

Evie clapped her hands in glee “oooh I so excited, honestly, I think im more excited for this than I am Mal and Ben's wedding” you laughed loudly at that.

“Really?” you tilted your head out of the screen, raising your brow at Evie “why?”

“I don’t know” Evie sighed “something about it being more…private? And it’s really just going to be personal friends and family with some extra people, right? it just feels a bit more intimate than their wedding which is going to be broadcasted across Auradon”

You hummed, yeah you were glad you didn’t have to deal with all that for your wedding, and your wedding, hopefully, also would have Carlos actually there, he had mentioned that the day of Mal and Bens wedding was the day of his very important-you can't miss it or you’ll fail the entire year-finals test for veterinary school.

Ben and Mal had tried to reschedule their wedding so Carlos could attend but unfortunately, everything was all set and both were unable to move the date. They promised they would have either Jay or Doug record everything for him so he could at least see the wedding “personally” instead of on the news, he would be there for the reception but he would be missing the ceremony.

“what month are you thinking for it?” Evie wondered aloud, the hum of her sewing machine overpowering her voice a bit.

“im thinking either late spring or early summer? So May or June. I don’t want it to be cold as all hell but I don’t want it to be so warm everyone's sweating?” you shrugged on your shirt and zipped up your boots, stepping back out into the main area of Evie’s office with your dress in your arms “honestly I dunno, I’ll talk to Harry tonight about it, we're having dinner at my place.”

Evie nodded at that and stood, taking your dress and hanging it back up on her rack. “awesome, welp, we’re all done here! So” she waved her hands at you as if casting a spell “why don’t you get back to…whatever you were doing or needed to do after you were done with this” you laughed and nodded, spinning on your heel and walking out of Evie's office, waving her goodbye as you stepped out into her kitchen.

“kay, bye Evie!”

“bye!”

-

A couple of hours later and you were in your kitchen stirring up the mashed potatoes as Harry checked on the tri-tip. “think it's ready yet?” Harry turned to you, nodding his head at the oven.

“just check it with the meat thermometer, if it's 145 degrees it's ready” Harry nodded, putting on some oven mitts and taking out the tri-tip, sticking the meat thermometer in, and grinning.

“145, we’re ready” you nodded and turned off the heat for the gravy, and uncovered the cheese biscuits.

“Okay, ill cut it up and you can take the veggies out of the microwave and pour ‘em in the bowl thing”

You grabbed a carving knife and a large fork, transferring the tri-tip to a cutting board and slicing it up. You worked in comfortable silence to finish your prep for dinner, the only heard was your knife against the meat and cutting board and the soft music playing on Harry’s Bluetooth.

“ready!” Harry called, getting out two plates and setting them on the counter, walking over to you and kissing your cheek “thank yeh for helping me make this darling”

“you’re welcome Harry” you hummed, setting down the knife and fork and walking around Harry to get to the plates “plate up! And let's eat!”

After filling your plates with tri-tip, mashed potatoes and gravy, cheese biscuits, and corn, your dinner was ready to eat. You and Harry sat down at the counter/kitchen window and clinked your sodas before digging in, Harry dancing in his seat a bit as he bit into his food.

“good?” Harry just hummed happily, and nodded, picking up his biscuit and bobbing his head as he bit into it. “good.” You laughed slightly and dug into your own food, humming as you bit into the tri-tip “good job on the tri-tip, it’s fucking bomb” Harry grinned and his ears turned red.

“Thank yeh, Uma taught me how ta season steak a bit after the barrier came down.” You laughed again and pulled out your phone to text Uma.

“well she's a damn good teacher, it’s fucking bomb” you sent a quick text to Uma telling her that she needed to teach harry more cooking stuff and she sent back a wink and a thumbs up.

“soooo” you and Harry spoke in unison, stopping to look at each other and laughing “okay okay” you waved your hands around “me first” Harry laughed a bit and nodded, leaning on his fist and watching you “so, twice today I've been asked when we’re getting married and-I realized I don’t remember if we talked about it, like, at all” Harry snorted.

“aye, Evie, Uma, an’ CJ asked meh the same thing, and yeah we’ve…never talked about when we want ta get married” you and Harry shared an ‘oh shit’ smile and you shook your head.

“well, when Evie asked me about it the first thought that came to my head was early summer or late spring, so like, May or June?” harry hummed and tapped the counter with his fingers.

“huh, May actually sounds good, um, weekend or weekday?” you lifted your feet and rested them on the sideways beams of Harry's stool.

“mmm, weekend? Mostly everyone will be free on the weekends” Harry nodded, and took another bite of mashed potatoes “maybe a Saturday?”

“sounds good” Harry mumbled through his food, swallowing it and taking out his phone, opening his calendar and scrolling up to May “um, so we have the 1st, 8th, 15th,22nd, and the 29th for Saturday’s”

You leaned closer to Harry and set your chin on his shoulder, examining the calendar on his phone “how bout the 22nd? That way it’s not too soon for anyone's schedule and not the direct end of the month” Harry smiled and nodded in agreement.

“that’s perfect, May 22nd it is, that’s when we'll get married” Harry pressed a kiss to your forehead “I can't wait for that day, my love”

“I can't wait either, I tried on my finished dress today and I just wanted to show you immediately, it's so dang pretty~!” you squealed, grinning as Harry chuckled at your enthusiasm.

“and I can't wait ta see you wearing it, I can’t wait ta see yeh walk down the aisle towards me and I can't wait ta call yeh meh wife” you forced down the burning in your nose and eyes and wrapped your arms around Harry, burying your face in his shoulder. “and I can't wait to call you my husband, and love you for the rest of my life” Harry hugged you back tightly, pulling you into his lap and pressing his cheek to the side of your head.

“I love you so much (y/n)”

“I love you too Harry”

-

“finally! I was wondering when you two were going to pick a date, I've kept my calendar open just in case you two decided to say ‘fuck it’ and get married on a whim.” Uma waved her hands about as she ranted, and you hid your smile behind your glass and took a sip of your (drink)

“Yeah, guess we can also finally print those invitations now too” Uma hummed at that and set her cup down, tilting her head at you.

“well, the guest list is all done, right? So it won't be that much to do” you shook your head and took another sip of your (drink).

“Nope, just the design, and then printing, and everything will be ready to go, Harry and I already called Ben about using his private docks for the wedding because that’s where our ship is and he’s all for it” Uma nodded, moving forward on the table and resting her chin in her palm.

“so, next month, you and Harry get married~” you giggled in excitement and danced in your seat a bit.

“yep, hard to believe it's been almost a year since we got engaged, I feel like it's only been a month” you wished wistfully, a dreamy smile on your face “when I arrived on the isle, I never thought that Harry and I would even meet, then all of a sudden I was a part of your crew.” You and Uma shared a reminiscent smile, it had happened oh so long ago, all the way back in 2017 after D2 had released, and now it was 2021 and you were engaged to Harry freaking Hook, Uma was one of your best friends, Gil the other best friend, and you could travel from your world to the descendant's world.

It was like a dream come true, and if it was just a dream?

You hoped you would never wake up.

-end of part 23-

I know these wedding planning parts are lowkey kinda boring but really im just trying to set up the wedding part(s) (if it seems like im dragging everything out pls tell me, I don’t want to bore yall)XD which is soon! It'll probably be posted on May 22nd and considering I've been posting like, once a month (im sorry lol), the next chapter may possibly be the wedding chapter but IDK~!!! But anyway thank you all for reading my dumb Harry Hook x reader that I started back in 2018 so it been like, more than two years since I posted the first part and for some reason yall liked it and asked for more??? Which like, my writing fucking sucked back then, so why the fuck did yall like it? XD

Anyway, just saying again that I will be making rewrites of part of your world and reprise, encore I’ll leave alone since I think it has okay writing, I might re-edit the first couple parts if I cringe enough at em but otherwise, encore will be left alone while the first two parts of the series will get rewritten.

The S11 Trailer - Analysis

Okay, let’s talk about the trailer. I’ll go through what I’m seeing shot by shot, and then focus on a couple of things that really stood out to me.

We start with Negan and Father Gabriel, with Negan looking distressed. FG asks him what’s wrong, and he says, “bad memories.” FG says, “of what?” We don’t hear Negan’s answer in the trailer.

Then we see the windmill in Alexandria, followed by horses running by Kelly and (I think) Magna. I think the horses will end up being important, as we see them again later. And this is really interesting. Take a moment to remember Buttons from S5, and I’ll come back to this.

Next, we see what I originally thought were overgrown street signs. But when I lightened this picture, I realized they’re not outdoor street signs. They’re indoor ones. Almost like the kind of thing you’d see at a massive mall or market or airport, directing you where to go. East Market. The “East” is jumping out at me as well.

Then we see Negan with a flashlight and other things in the underground tunnels from the sneak peek.

We see Daryl staring out over what I first thought as a mural. But when I lightened it, he’s really just looking down at a scene below him. If you look closely, below him on the left is a tank. So, at the end of 10x22, Carol said they were going to visit an old military base Daryl had found. I’m assuming this is it.

We see Judith, and then Daryl with mud on his face. This may be important. Keep this in mind. It looks a little like he’s covered himself either in red mud or perhaps walker guts.

Then we see various scenes of people fighting walkers and one person (we don’t see who) being bitten by one.

Then we see Negan dragging Maggie backward while she yells, “no!” I’ve mentioned this recently, but this is really interesting to me. It’s a nearly identical replay of Maggie being held back at the end of AOW (8x16) because Rick declared that Negan would live. Except this time, it’s Negan holding Maggie back from something else. The dynamic has changed. So, it makes me very curious to find out what he’s dragging her back from. It’s almost like he's trying to protect her.

There’s more fighting with walkers, and scenes from the underground subway tunnels. Most of these scenes are fast and it’s nearly impossible to tell exactly who is doing what or what’s going on.

This is also where we hear Daryl say, “I don’t leave anybody behind. Ever.” Because of Beth, we’re definitely side-eyeing that. In a way, it just proves that something happened to make Daryl believe Beth was dead and couldn’t be buried. This is him affirming that he would never have left her behind otherwise.

Then we see Kelly and Magna talking, and Kelly looking at a note that seems to have been written by Connie. It says, “Trapped with the dead. Walked with them for days. No light. No food. Little water.” Yeah, I’m kind of side-eyeing that note. It’s strange that Connie would write it and leave it but be nowhere around when Kelly finds it. (However, based on stuff we see later in the trailer, she does seem to have been kidnapped or taken prisoner.)

But more than that, the note feels thematic. Being trapped with the dead feels like a Beth thing. Walking with the dead is something we’ve seen a lot on the show. Michonne and her pets. The Whisperers, of course. Plenty of examples. And then the “no light, no food, no water” goes well with the drought and famine themes we’ve seen a lot. One of the most notable examples being in 5x10. I’m just saying.

Then more fighting with walkers, and we get the scene where Aaron says, “so you’re going to fight ghosts?” Followed by a teary-eyed Carol saying, “This is a path you don’t want to go down.”

My fellow theorists and I have discussed these a lot and who both Aaron and Carol might be talking to. I think there’s a good possibility that both may be Daryl. I’ve talked before about the possibility of him hearing something of Rick or Rick’s voice and wanting to go find him, but no one else believing him or that Rick is a live. Possibly questioning Daryl’s sanity. Both would go well with that idea.

Of course, that may be a little too convenient. Some people have suggested Carol might be talking to Maggie and trying to keep her from revenge on Negan. Or these could be secondary characters we won’t even care about overly much. No way to know.

Next, we see a person in a mask, with Dog standing near them, apparently watching Daryl. This is one scene that got our fandom very hyped up. I do have some things to say about it, so I’ll come back to it at the end.

We see lots of people running through the woods, a sickle hitting a tree. (I think it’s safe to assume that the sickle is a weapon/symbol of the Reapers.) And then a line of people in masks walking forward aggressively. Again, I’m assuming these are the Reapers. We’ve been told the trailer is misleading, so it may prove untrue, but I think it’s what we’re supposed to assume here.

We see more fighting and houses being broken into. Ezekiel fighting in a house and Eugene with bloodstains on his shirt. Then someone bound and hooded being dragged backward down a dark hallway. I’m thinking that’s Eugene.

Then we get a quick flash of what looks like feminine eyes behind a hood. These are what people assume could be Beth or Leah. And yes, they could be either. We do later see Maggie taking a skin mask off, so I think they could be her as well. It’s so quick, it’s pretty much impossible to identify them for sure.

The next scene is a super-tragic one. I’m pretty sure Dog is dying, guys. We hear what sounds like Dog whining in pain, as dogs do, and see a knife flash. Then Daryl turns around and screams, “no!” From descriptions of the episode, it sounds to me like Dog gets separated from the group and Daryl goes looking for him alone.

Some of us have wondered if this is when Daryl will “see” Leah again. When he’s on his own and it’s just him and her and Dog. That would, once again, suggest her being something only he can see. Just conjecture on our part as we really have no idea how things will play out, but it’s an idea we’ve batted around.

Anyway, it doesn’t look to me like Dog is going to survive. And while that SUCKS (poor Dog, poor Daryl ☹) because Dog is the embodiment of the Sirius symbolism, it does make a certain amount of sense that they might kill him before Beth reappears.

The other big deal about this is that it’s a clear parallel template to Beth. If Dog = Beth, she gets separated from group, Daryl goes searching for her, found her, but she apparently didn’t survive, dying right in front of him. (Or so he understands.) It kind of looks like the exact same thing will happen with Dog.

We then see a blood-covered knife hit the wall just under a frightened-looking Connie’s nose. She seems to be a captive or prisoner somewhere, and clearly her life is in danger. We also hear FG telling someone not to be scared and see what I assume is a Commonwealth soldier in an orange suit.

We also see a very decomposed walker tied to a tree. We’ve seen that pose a few times, and my mind always goes to the blond girl tied to the tree that Aaron and Daryl find in 5x15. So, chances are this will be very symbolic.

Then we see Daryl in front of some burning shipping containers, staring out at people. It’s not clear if the people he’s look at are members of TF, or perhaps enemies, but he doesn’t exactly look carefree.

Remember that in 10x17, he and Maggie and their group stayed in these same kinds of containers. Jadis also kept Rick in a similar once back in S8, so it’s a theme that’s been building.

We then here FG say, “God isn’t here anymore.” We see what looks like a walker but it’s crawling forward in a super creepy fashion, looking almost like a demon. Most walkers don’t move that way unless injured, so it makes me question whether this is a walker or a human pretending to be one.

We also see someone hung upside down by their ankles from an overhead pipe. I’m reminded of the Librarian guy in 6x16/7x01 who was hung over the bridge. Again, it’s just a theme we’ve seen before, but hard to interpret because the trailer gives us so little context.

More from the underground tunnels including what looks like it couple be corpses stuck in dried cement. And we hear an interesting line. “This a damn death march and you’re the pied piper.” So, Pied Piper theme. Something else we’ve seen a lot.

Then we see Connie and Virgil running through rooms. Now, I’d assumed that when Virgil found her, he took her somewhere or took her captive. I guess I didn’t really trust him even after Michonne sort of came to and assumed he was kind of a bad guy. But based on this, it could be that both were taken captive after he found her. They both seem to be running and trying to escape.

We see Maggie lighting a flare inside a subway train. Then, in quick succession, more masked eyes, Maggie looking distressed, and then someone’s fingers slipping from a handgrip, as though they’re trying not to fall but not falling anyway.

Then we see Maggie walking first through a parking lot and then some kind of defunct mall near an escalator. She says, “I lost something. And I don’t think it’s a bad thing that I did.” 

And then we see what I think is Maggie and Negan helping someone who is injured. Because we only see the backs of their heads, it’s hard to tell for sure. But I think the two on the outside are Maggie and Negan. I can’t tell who they’re helping. It doesn’t look like Daryl or Carol, but beyond that, I could say. If you look to the right, you can see department store mannequins, so this still seems to be in the mall.

Things speed up again and we see lots of people in masks, what looks like walkers invading Alexandria, Carol hugging Magna (forgiveness for Connie, perhaps?), people wielding weapons and running different places, etc.

We then see a bunch more of the underground tunnels stuff. People killing walkers in trains and such. We hear Negan say, “this only works if we trust each other.” And then Daryl says, “if you say trust him, I’ll trust him.” No idea who Negan’s line is directed to, as it’s just a voice over here. Chances are Daryl is talking about Negan, but again, no way to be sure.

Then Maggie says, “The woman who lived is not the one standing here now, so keep pushing me Negan. Please.”  When she says the final word, “please” we see her pointing a gun at someone with Daryl standing behind her.

A couple of things here. This is where we see her take off a skin mask, but that’s in daylight in the woods, so clearly, it’s a different scene than the subway with her and Daryl. What I’ll say is that, to me, this line from her feels very stilted, which means it may be spliced together. Remember back in the S5 trailer when it sounded like Gareth wanted to take Eugene to Washington to cure the virus, but in the show, he never said anything remotely close to that? The words really were his, but they just took lines of his dialogue and spliced them together. It was very misleading. I feel like this line from Maggie may be the same way. No way to be sure. I could be wrong. But it just sounds unnatural to me, like different parts of her dialogue have been spliced together. And who knows if the person she’s pointing the gun at is even Negan. We can’t see them.

I’m just saying, take it with a grain of salt.

Then we see the TWD logo. But it’s not over, yet. We see a coda, which is Eugene at the Commonwealth. We see a happy little “welcome to the Commonwealth” promo video, followed by lots of darkness and drama around Eugene.

Why is this important? Beth was the coda of the S5 trailer. For S6, it was Sherry and Dwight capturing Daryl in 6x06, which was replete with Beth symbolism. In the S7 trailer, it was Tara finding Oceanside. I could go on but, while Beth clearly wasn’t in any of the seasons after S5, the codas to the trailers tend to deal with symbolism or storylines that we’ve tied to her in HUGE ways. And we already believe she’ll probably come through Eugene’s story line when we, the viewers, first see her. So, it’s significant that they used Eugene, rather than any other character, as the coda.

I also noticed that in the CW promo vid, we see things like a mall or department store and a train station. Those are the same kinds of places we see Maggie and Daryl and the others exploring, except where they are everything is dark, defunct and overgrown, where in the CW video it all looks happy and functional and vibrant.

Not sure what that means. Are they meant to be the same places? Is there just a duality theme going on here? Are the Reapers and the Commonwealth connected somehow? We just don’t know, but it’s interesting.

I also notice behind the narrator is a monument with the words “The Great War” on them. Practically, the monument is probably referencing WWI, which was often called The Great War at the time it was happening, because it was the first worldwide war up until that point.

But I have no doubt that this monument is purposely placed by the writers and foreshadows the big, coming war, that we won’t truly see until the spinoff.

Okay, that’s pretty much it, but let me go back to that scene with the masked person and Dog staring at Daryl.

I think most people are assuming that it’s Daryl in the foreground (and I concur) and therefore the person watching him, who Dog is so comfortable standing beside, must be Leah. And it’s possible that that’s true. But keep in mind that, especially when Daryl isn’t around, Dog is equally comfortable with Connie and Carol. So, we just can’t know for sure who this is in the mask. I even think it could possibly be Daryl himself. I know that probably doesn’t make any sense to you but let me explain.

The angles and clarity of this shot are very suspicious to me. Let’s start with the angles. Clearly this is meant to be someone Daryl doesn’t see, but he feels he’s being watched, which is why he takes out his knife. But if you look at the angles, he’d only have to turn his head a fraction of an inch to see this person, so why doesn’t he? It just doesn’t feel like realistic positioning for the vibe they’re going for.

Secondly, the line between the right side (Daryl in the foreground) and the left side (Dog and the masked figure) looks a bit blurry and indistinct to me. And there’s a brown pole running down the center of the frame. At first glance, it seems to be a tree trunk, but if you look at it, it’s way too smooth and symmetrical to be one. I think it’s a metal pole. And what would that be doing in the middle of the forest?

Why am I telling you this? Just to show why I don’t think this is a “real” shot from the shot. Could Daryl be hallucinating? Sure. That’s one possibility. But I really wonder if this is just two different shots spliced together to create a creepy vibe for the trailer. So, one is the masked person standing next to Dog, and the other is Daryl in the foreground. And they’ve been put together with a computer.

That’s why I think the hooded figure itself could be Daryl. @wdway pointed out that this hooded figure wears a large knife very close to the center line of their body, and we’ve seen both Beth and Daryl do that in past seasons. Plus, remember that scene from the beginning of the trailer I told you to remember, where Daryl has either red mud or walker guts all over his face? I’m wondering if he’s just taken off a mask there. It would also explain Dog standing so calmly beside him.

And of course I could be totally wrong as well. Maybe it IS a masked person watching him. Maybe it IS Leah. There’s just no way to tell for certain. I guess my point is just to take everything with a grain of salt. We’ve been told this trailer is very misleading, and there’s absolutely no confirmation of who any of the masked people or random eyes are. Just keep that in mind.

Oh, I also said I’d come back to the horses. I didn’t write down exactly where, but at one point, we get a shot of Maggie walking up on dead horses. So, they’ll clearly play a role this season. Maybe it’s a matter of TF seeing some wild horses, and then finding them dead, and realizing this means there are bad people around. 

But remember there was a dead horse near Princess and Eugene’s group last season when they walked through the field of landmines. So, it’s something that’s been foreshadowed. And I can’t help but wonder if clear back in S5, Buttons might be a foreshadow of what’s about to happen in S11. Especially if it leads to Beth, which we think it will, I’m gonna say it was. But of course we’ll have to wait and see what that’s all about. 

Okay, I think that’s all I have for the trailer. Thoughts?

See You Again (A Harry Hook x reader story)

woo next part finally! 

Part 7

Summary: When Hadley, Daughter of the feared ruler of the Underworld Hades, is sent along with her 4 best friends to Auradon Prep she must leave behind a certain pirate who stole her heart.  Will she be able to keep the promise she made to him or will it all go up in flames?

Disclaimer: I do not own any characters in Descendants.  Hadley and the plot between her and Harry are mine.

Warnings: mentions of abandonment 

A few days later 

After a failed attempt to con Jane into letting Mal see the wand, the five desperately needed to come up with a new plan.

Hadley sat in Mal and Evie's dorm helping Evie make a new dress, something the two loved doing together.  Carlos was there too sitting at the foot of Mals bed with Dude, the campus mutt,  somehow Ben got Carlos to like dogs.  It made Hadley a little jealous.  She may not have enjoyed her time in the Underworld but she did enjoy the company of her father's three headed guard dog Cerberus, who stood guard at the entrance to the Underworld.  She missed him dearly.

Jay came crashing in showing off his new jersey.

He walked over to Mals bed.

“ Did your plan with Jane work? Are you going over to see the wand?”

“Do you think that I would be going through every spell in this book if I hadn't completely struck out?” Mals voice rose as she spoke.

Jay held his hands up in defense.

“Someone's in a bad mood.” Carlos said from the floor.

“ My mom is counting on me! I can't let her down.” Mal said flicking the back of his head.

“ Look we can do this!” Jay raised his voice causing the rest to look at him. “ If we stick together.”

“ And we won't go back, until we do” Mal stated looking around the room at the others “Cause we're rotten”

“To the core” the four finished.

“ Oh yeah, I found out that fairy godmother blesses Ben with the wand at coronation and we all get to go. I have nothing to wear of course!” Evie sihde.

Just sas Mal was about to say something there was a knock on the door

“Hold that thought.” Mal said rolling off her bed to answer the door.

Ben was on the other side asking how their day went.

The found out that only Ben, his parents, FG and his girlfriend where aloud upfront.  Which hatched an idea in Mal's head.

“I think it's time Benny-boo got himself a new girlfriend. And i need a love spell.” Mal clapped and Carlos threw her spell book at her.

Later that night the five stood in the schools kitchen preparing the love spell in the form of cookies.

“It says we still need one tear.” Hadley pointed out in the recipe.  She had been demoted to reader after she accidentally hard boiled two eggs in her hands.

“Well I never cry so..” Mal trialed mixing the batter.

“Then let's chop up some onions” Carlos offered from his spot on the counter.

“No. It says one tear of human sadness. And this love potion get the best reviews so we have to follow it exactly.” Mal stated.

“A tear's a tear.” Jay sighed exasperatedly.

“ That's not true Jay they both have antibodies and enzymes, but an emotional tear has more protein based hormones than a reflex tear.” Evie piped from next to Mal.

“ Listen to you!” Hadley praised.

Jay stared wide eyed before relaxing and shrugging nonchalantly.

,”Yeah I knew that.”

“You did not.” Carlos slapped Jay on the arm.

“Okay well someone needs to cry.” Jay stated.

“ someone start talking about Hook. That'll get us a tear.”

The smile faded off hadley's lips turning into a deep frown.

The other three looked in shock at what Jay had said.

However before anything could be said, Lonnie, daughter of Mulan, came bouncing in the door to the kitchen. Her new long soft curls, courtesy of Mals spell book, flowing behind her as she shuffled her way across the floor in her bunny slippers.  

“there you are mal!” Hadley snapped out of whatever trance she was in and quickly covered the book in front of her.

“you all the girls want you to do their hair.” Lonnie looked to the bowl in front of the three girls.

“ midnight snack hu? Whatcha making?” she questioned working an eyebrow before dipping her finger into the batter.

The vks all shouted and told her to stop but she'd already eaten it.

“ what? Guys I'm not gonna double dip.” she stared wide eyed at the five in front of her.

“ feel.. anything?” Evie looked a little concerned.

“yeah, like maybe it might be missing something?”  mal asked.

Jay hopped of the counter, stopping in front of Lonnie, smirking

“hey there" he flirted pushing back a piece of his long hair.

Lonnie stared at Jay for a second before giving a tight smile and shrugging.

“could use some chips.” Lonnie shrugged walking over to the fridge.

The looked confused for a second before sighing in relief.

“and those are?” Hadley asked as mal resumed stirring .

“chocolate chips. Only the most important food group.” she said excitedly throwing a small handful into the bowl.  “didn't your moms ever make you chocolate chip cookies?” The five looked at her “ like when you're feeling sad and they're fresh from the oven with  a big ol’ glass of milk and she just makes you laugh and just puts everything into perspective.” Lonnie smiled.

Hadley lowered her head. She'd never known her mother.  From what her father always told her she was dropped off in the underworld not long after she was born.  Her mother was too busy to raise a child.  The only mother figure she really had was the Evil Queen when she and Evie met and even that wasn't that great.

“ Why are you all looking at me like that?”

“ Things are different where come from.” Mal piped up.

“ Y-yeah I know. But I just thought that, even villains love their kids.”  The frowns already prominent on their faces grew darker, Hadleys eyes even began to brim with tears.

Lonnie looked around at their frowns before grabbing Hadleys hand.

“ How awful.” Her voice cracked as she spoke and a single tear fell from her eyes.

Mal noticed and reached over quickly wiping it away and flicking it into the bowl.

“yeah well, big bummer but we have to get these into the oven so thank you so much for coming by really really have a good night” Mal said as she escorted Lonnie to the door.

“Evil dreams!’ Mal waved as she left.

“Okay! Boys Cookie sheet! Hadley oven!” Mal pointed to each of them as she turned around and walked back.

“ You know what guys, I think I'm going to head back to the dorms.” Hadley spoke looking anywhere but them.

They stopped what they were doing and looked to her.

“Hey you okay?” Evie placed a hand on her shoulder, which she quickly shrugged off.

“ Yeah just feeling a little tired.” She nodded her head placing a small fake smile on her lips.

“ Okay.” Evie called as she walked away and out the door.

Hadley wrapped her arms around herself as she made her way back through the drafty, silent castle,  The floor echoing as her heeled boots hit the hardwood.  She knew Jay didn't mean anything by what he said, and there was no way Lonnie could have known about her family life but it struck a chord in her chest.

When she entered her dark room she, made her way over to her bedside table and kicked off her boots before grabbing her notebook with her sketchings and a pencil.  She walked over to her big window that overlooked the isle.  Opening up to the page she'd drawn Harry. She opened the window a crack to let in the cool night air.  The wind blew slightly, pushing her blue and white locks around.  The ever present storm cloud over the isle seemed darker and more violent.  

She thought about what Harry was doing at that moment, he could be sleeping as it's late but Uma could have him on watch.  She wondered if he'd thought about her since she left but knew it was silly to even think that.  She knew he'd never see her the way she saw him, he was a pirate after all.  But still, she couldn't help falling in love with her best friend.

(Hadley)

Wise men say Only fools rush in But I can't help falling in love with you Shall I stay? Would it be a sin If I can't help falling in love with you?

Winner’s Curse Ch. 3

Note: There is an Aladdin series character people may or may not know named Sadira. Since I didn’t really explain her backstory or past in this chapter, here is a little wiki so people have an idea https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Sadira. Anyway, hope everyone enjoys. 

Lonnie had decided to opt out of their  plan to spy on the meeting in order to stick with her training regime. But she made them promise to tell her about it later if they didn’t get caught. Technically, she asked Jay to promise to tell her later. Jordan was so sure they were an item.

But Lonnie and Jay’s potential coupledom wasn’t the issue now. Now was time to sneak into the air ducts and find their way above FG’s office.

It was sort of funny really.

The Sultan was a former petty thief, their kingdom was still rife with street rats and deliquets even though Sultana Jasmine had been enacting lots of new legislature to fix the issues, and here, the three most lucky (and in Aziz’s case, one of the richest) Agrabahians were wriggling into the air ducts of Auradon Prep like common criminals.

Jay and Aziz army crawled through th steel-ducts with ease despite their broad shoulders crushing them from both sides while Jordan crawled slowly in front, wishing that she had changed into pants before she had gotten in. Everytime she stopped to listen for adult voices in conversation Aziz’s face would crash against her butt.

At least it was better Aziz than Jay. It was enough that the sort of former thief spent time ogling her mother, he wasn’t going to get the pleasure of gazing at her ass this whole time too.

The air ducts were surprisingly very clean for a place that supposedly no one went into. The steel was as polished as Chad Charming’s spit-shined shoes and there wasn’t any evidence of rodent’s existence. Even though rodents were totally allowed on school grounds due to the future queens and princesses hoping to charm them with their beautiful voices or be used to help sew dresses.

The air ducts were also very loud in the sense that they could hear every pipe rushing with water or jiggling and the sounds of muffled voices through the walls.

It felt like an hour already with her knees cramping and she was sure that someone was going to come out of this looking like hunchback. But according to Jay’s sundial watch which she had some suspicion that he stole from Phil when the old stayr had visited to guest coach the tourney team, they had only been roaming the ducts for nine minutes.

“Are you sure we’re even going in the right direction, man?” Jay asked Aziz who swore he knew the air ducts like the back of his hand after he spending all his study halls up in the ducts instead of studying chemistry.

“Yes.” Aziz said tersely, “We just go straight then right at the sound of rushing water then take another left and straight. We should be hearing them very soon. It’s impossible to get lost.”

“If you say so” Jay sing-songed and Jordan could hear Aziz mutter swears under his breath. Even though Aziz and Jay hit it off better than the other Aks had with the spawn of their parent’s enemies, Aziz did have his issues with Jay.

Like his arrogance, his aggressiveness, his kleptomania, the way he took every angry comment as a compliment for him... Okay maybe those were the things she disliked about him.

But she did know that Aziz disliked Jay’s arrogance. It was less about Jay, himself but more about Aziz’s own jealousy. Even though the Agrabhaian prince seemed easygoing and confident, Jordan knew that he overanalyzed everything in his head and then texted her about it. Almost every study period. Since Jay came sauntering in the halls with his leather jacket, Aziz had been asking her that when they were together did Jay look tougher than him? Did he look weak and nervous?

Then there was the thief factor. Yes, Auradon was all about the goodness  and stealing and other sorts of crimes were frowned upon and harshly punished, Aziz still aspired to be a good “sleight of hand.”

Aladdin had taught all his children his old tricks from his street rat days even though he warned them that they were never allowed to use it for their personal gain or in public.

Then Jay came along and it was hard to ignore how Jafar’s son was so very similar to Aladdin. Charming, a thief, could talk his way out of almost anything.

No one had said it Aziz’s face that Jay seemed more like Aladdin’s son than he but one can easily surmise that. While Aziz was forced to obey the royal protacle set out for him and not cause any political disasters, Jay was free to do what he wanted, looking like a mini-Aladdin more and more.

And now Jay was implying that Aziz didn’t know how to go through air ducts without getting lost which she knew Aziz was going to take as a dig that Aziz didn’t inherit Aladdin’s skill.

It seemed like they all had their daddy issues here.

Jordan was so consumed with her thoughts that she crawled right into the air duct vent, smashing her nose and getting her caught in all the tiny slits. It took all her discipline not to cry out from the unexpected pain. 

“We’re here.” Jordan softly announced through gritted teeth as she tried to untangle her hair without making the vent noisily shake, she took the chance to observe the crowd of people crushed into FG’s tiny office.  

FG’s office was a pristine sky blue color with a large oak desk situated near the clear-glass window that had gave view to the picturesque garden that she cared for outside her office. Usually it was warm and homey since FG added small touches like floral bouquets tied to the corners and eves, but now it was stocked with more people than the office could hold and it looked chaotic and disorganized.

Plastic chairs had been brought in, ruining the classy vibe the office usually emitted and the none of the people there looked very happy.

Aurora’s three fairy-godmothers were sitting uncomfortably in the plastic chairs on either side of FG’s desk, arguing among themselves with FG in the middle trying to get their attention. Even though the four women were about the same age there was a drastic difference between FG’s younger look and Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather’s choice to appear in the same plump human forms they had used when they were taking care of baby Aurora.

The great Camelot wizard, Merlin was by the doorway holding a fishbowl in his hand and seemed to be talking animatedly with the fish inside until Mama Odie accidentally hit him in the head with her walking stick when she angrily waved her arms about.

The Blue Fairy and a human-sized, Queen Clarion stood in the middle of the room taking in the sights and sounds around them, looking regal as always though both no longer had their unearthly fairy glow, making them look a bit more sad than Jordan assumed that they were.

Jordan easily spotted her parents, the only two in the room who looked halfway amused by the situation as they casually lounged on FG’s couch that was usually pulled out when a student needed a personal therapist.

Her dad was in his human form, not much different from his genie one. He had on harem pants, a silk blue vest and and curled shoes, looking that he should be in the hot deserts of Agrabah instead of in button-up Auradon. She wondered if FG had another one of her freak-outs when she saw her dad walk in again without a shirt. 

At least Sadira was dressed appropriately for the Auradon weather in a green sundress, looking absolutely confused as to what was going on and distracted whenever Genie tried to include her into the conversation.

Jordan tried to listen to the conversation but it was pretty hard with all the overlapping voices and FG’s repeated shouts for “Everyone, please use your inside voices. Please, the students are in class. We have to talk about this civilly.”

Jordan heard a few key phrase like King Beast and the barrier but not much else when she felt a irate poke on her butt.

“Uh glad to know we got here. But we can’t see or hear anything.” Aziz grumbled.

“Oh yeah.” Jordan winced, realizing how boring it must be for the guys to have nothing to look out but each other’s backsides.

She glanced out the vent again to make sure no one was looking up at that moment to see puffs of pink smoke as she used her magic to widen the ducts so the three of them could look out the vent slits shoulder to shoulder.

“You couldn’t have done this before when we were crawling through?” Jay whispered as he pressed his face against the slits.

“I. . . didn’t think of that at the time.” Jordan admitted. It was an issue, living with all these mortals made her forget that she could use her powers to fix inconveniences like this.

“ENOUGH!!” FG shouted, startling everyone in the room and the three teens that they almost hit their heads against the air duct ceiling. They never heard FG sound like she was reaching the end of her rope before.

“Let’s review the situation, calmly, civilly.” FG said through clenched teeth through Jordan could see a bead of sweat drop trail from her forehead as she made eye contact with each figure in the room.

“King-I mean Prince- I mean. Well Adam doesn’t want us to bother King Ben about the Isle’s Coven. He feels like his son would be too overwhelmed by the situation.” FG said.

“WHAT?! Not tell the king? The villains could take over again if this Coven manages to break down the barrier. And we’re supposed to not stress him about this sort of danger?” Merlin cried, holding his fishbowl like it was a sword, he jabbed the air to make his point and caused water to spill all over Queen Clarion’s dress.

“I know. But he still a boy.We have to report to Adam instead and he said it will be tricky to find a way to fix this.He said that it is a slippery slope. IF he allows us to use magic to fix the barrier and keep the villains at bay, then he would have to make concessions and then everyone would be using magic again and the whole point of the Magic Ban would be moot.” FG sighed.

“That is brilliant. I say we do that idea.” Genie clapped and the sound of bodiless applause filled the room while others like Mama Odie, Flora, Fauna and Merryweather nodded in agreement.

FG aimed a withering glare to them, “I know you have made no effort to obey the Magic Ban, but if you would look around you, it has been very helpful. People are putting their work and effort into things instead of using magic as a shortcut. It keeps law and order. We have seen what happens when magic is used wrongly. Need I remind you of Jafar? The Magic Ban is right. The Magic Ban is-”

“But the villains aren’t going to follow our Magic Ban so it makes no point.” Merryweather cut in, “We are all good people. We all use our magic responsibly and to help others. The Magic Ban is only hurting us. It is making us deny who we are.”

“All for some royal brats who think we would beat them in some competition that doesn’t exist. But Fairy Godmother, you cannot say you enjoy this sort of life. You were able to help so many with your magic. You can’t say you would have made Cinderella’s dreams come true with some sewing supplies.” Mama Odie added.

FG stuttered something incomprehensible, clearly flustered with how this conversation was veering into her personal feelings which now that Jordan thought about it, she didn’t know much about FG’s feelings towards the Magic Ban. Sure, FG always seemed to follow King Beast’s lead and espouse how wonderful the Magic Ban was for the kingdom but it seemed like she had her doubts about it too.

“Let’s focus on the Coven. How are we going to stop them?” FG abruptly said. “FG, you do know that we are going to have break the rules if we are to stop the Coven.” Fauna placed a comforting hand on FG’s shoulder.

“I- But.” FG stammered, “We have to follow the laws. That is the right thing to do. I told Adam I would find a lawful solution.”

Sadira ignored FG’s words as she launched into her own solution, “I was thinking we could join together and remake the barrier again. It would take some time since we are all pretty out of practice. I know my strength isn’t what it used to be at least, but if we do it over the next couple of months. Maybe we can get the barrier back to its full strength.” 

“But what about the villains inside?” The Blue Fairy questioned, “They are probably are using their powers as we speak to break it from inside. We don’t have a couple of months, we need a solution now.”

“Well who is in this Coven? How competent are they with magic? Because if it is Mad Madam Mim again, we can just sicken her with measles.” Merlin suggested.

“No, no Madam Mim.” FG managed to speak. “According to the goblins that gave us this have been taking trash back and forth from the Isle. It’s the Coven of Thirteen as they call themselves. And it’s ranks include, Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Queen Nerissa, Ursula, Mother Gothel, Jafar, Nasira, Mozonroth, Yzma, Morgaine Le Fey, Dr. Facilier, Circe, and Queen La.”

The room went silent at the list of intimidating villains.

Jordan side-eyed the two guys next to her and saw that their faces were similar to her own. Jaws dropped and eyes wide. Those thirteen had their powers back?

“And the Blue Fairy is right. Cassandra of Delphi unfortunately couldn’t come today but her vision implied we didn’t have much time.” FG said solemnly.

None of the adults in the room moved, they all seemed frozen in place by the new revelation.

“I suppose we should reconvene next week about this . . . situation.” FG said and all the adults slowly ushered themselves out, whispering among themselves.

Once the door closed, FG sat at her desk and put her head in her hands, looking small and exhausted. When she had suggested that they eavesdrop on this meeting she never thought it would be about something so serious. Her stomach clenched as her mind turned over FG’s words, “We don’t have much time.”

[sugoi-writes]

Ahhhh imagine FG in his skinny form and he’s self conscious but MC reassures him that he’s still adorable and handsome. Stretch marks and all and of course helps him as he recovers to his normal size

*TOO CUTE TOO CUTE*  implied n/sfw ahead!

You hear a heavy sigh from the bathroom, rousing from your sleepy state. 

“Taishiro...?” you question quietly, your grogginess evident in your tone. You hear Fatgum shifting around, before he responds. 

“Y-Yeah, it’s me!! Sorry... ‘just can’t sleep,” your boyfriend admits, glancing back at his reflection. He reaches up and pinches his cheek, giving it a good frisk before letting go. It was clear why he was so restless and uneasy. 

Day Nine of Slimgum, and he was unable to keep anything on, let alone start gaining weight. He wasn’t sure what was going on. He was even pacing himself as usual! No stress eating, and he was currently not under-eating! ...So why was he still stuck like this?

Taishiro shudders when he feels you come up behind, snaking your arms loosely around his middle. He wasn’t used to the feeling, but it made his heart warm and flutter nonetheless. 

He places his hands on top of yours as you strain to rest your head on his shoulder (even now: your boyfriend was STILL an absolute unit). “Baby... this has been going on for a while...” you say gently, nuzzling into the crook of his neck,” Is there something bothering you?”

Taishiro glances away from your shared reflection, laughing nervously,” W-Well... you know me, a little too well,” Taishiro says with a grin, earning a tired giggle from you,” But... this... y’know, this... physique. This isn’t me... and I haven’t been like this-- for this long-- ...in a long time.”

You seem to understand, your fingers weaving into Fatgum’s. Your sleepy acts of affection make his smile soften,” I guess... this is just... driving me a little nuts. Usually, people think that me looking like this is a good thing, or even healthier for me. But: I think you know better than anyone else that I’m... incredibly vulnerable in this state.” 

“Mentally?” you pipe up gently, before Fatgum hums in approval. 

“Yeah... and physically. So, I guess I’m just a little paranoid. This body... isn’t ideal. And the fact that I’m not back to tip-top shape concerns me. And beyond that, I...” Fatgum hesitates, biting his lip as he closes his eyes,” I honestly... well, I hate the way I feel when I look at myself. Especially when I look like this.” 

You feel Taishiro tense up, his fists clamping down onto your hands as you look to his reflection. Your heart could shatter at the wavering tone in his voice.

“Baby...” you whine, spinning him around to face you,” I... I understand why you’re uncomfortable, but...” You glance away, a flush rising in your cheeks,” P-Please don’t take this the wrong way, but... I think you’re just as beautiful now as you are when you’re... normal. And in some ways, you’re more beautiful like this.”

Fatgum blinks, appalled,” Beautiful?” he echoes, leaving you to nod sheepishly. 

“Y-Yeah... Tai... you are gorgeous,” you assure softly, cupping Fatgum’s cheek tenderly. He smiles genuinely, squeezing your hand.

“M-Maybe to you... but... I really don’t think so. I just... never liked this body image, y’know? It almost feels... gross, to me.” Taishiro subconsciously reaches for his other arm, clutching it as he glances away from you. You can see the beginnings of deep, purple stretch marks poking out from under his sleeve. You take his hand before he can dig his nails into his arms, and take his chin in your other hand.

“Toyomitsu Taishiro,” you say firmly, making him look to you. ” You are not gross. You are beautiful,” you press, before lifting the sleeve of his shirt,” ...look at your arms... how wonderful they are. Even while they’re shredded, I can still see some of you here...”

You playfully pinch his underarm, making Fatgum yelp in surprise. You wiggle some of the loose skin, smiling,” See? Here’s some of the chub~” you gently coo, making Fatgum smile sheepishly. 

“G-Gummy bear...” he stammers, before your hands settle on his shoulders. “And look at these traps,” you say smoothly, gently rubbing happy circles into his tense shoulders,” Even though you’re much slimmer here... I can feel a bit of give right... here~” 

You poke at the junction between his neck and shoulder, making Taishiro yelp and laugh nervously. Clearly, Slimgum was ticklish.

“Y-Y/N...! St-Stop, I get it! It tickles, Gum--!” 

You give him no reprieve as your hands suddenly dash towards his ribs, tickling him through his nightshirt. Taishiro starts bellowing with laughter, trying to swat your hands away. You don’t back down from the fight, staying on the offense. When he manages to grab your wrists, you put yourself flush against his chest, making him fluster. 

“And this stomach, wow... I can feel how solid your core is right now...” you say, tone like velvet as you press your abdomen against his,” ...but, even surrounding this muscle, these abs... you’re still ticklish... and you still have a liiiiittle tum~” you purr, making Taishiro’s chest swell with festering heat. 

“G-Gummy bear...!” Taishiro protests, but you free your wrists, your hands going under his shirt. You smile up to him, your eyes half lidded as your fingers linger against the waistband of his athletic shorts.

“...and... here... right were your core dips,” you whisper, your words practically dripping passion,” ...we both know... that you're definitely packing some serious stuff downstairs... here...” you tense, as you run a finger along his inner thigh.

A warm smile blooms on your face as you lean up to kiss his cheek,” Honeybear~” you coo, making Fatgum shudder. Your tone has dipped an octave, your tone gravely and intoxicating. 

“...and... of course, here~” you say cheekily, before giving Fatgum a harty slap on his ass. Taishiro nearly yelps, grabbing your shoulders and shoving you back slightly. 

“Y-Y/N...” Fatgum practically groans, before making firm eye contact with you,” Do you... Do you really like this form? Do you... still--y’know... feel attracted to me.. despite my different my body is?”

“Trust me when I say... I fell in love with you, multiple times... When I first saw you... when I first saw you with your students... How gentle and sweet and hilarious you are... And even when I see you struggling like this... You are the most breathtaking person in the world, Taishiro... and I’m more than willing to show you... with words or actions... your pick~” 

Taishiro can only stand their flabbergasted, before your lips collide passionately. He can’t help but push you against the wall, his knees and arms trapping you beneath him. You grin mischievously, looping your arms around your neck as your mind wonders what exactly you were gonna do to him... 

When you part, Taishiro huffs hoarsely, practically tearing off his shorts. 

” This... kinda defeats the purpose-- but...” Fatgum looks down to you, as you feel his arousal bumping against your stomach,” but... you better sweat me out of my skin, sugar.”

.

.

.

Days of glorious cuddles, passion, and movie nights have gone by, and FINALLY, after stumbling into the bathroom... Fatgum erupts into a happy barrage of laughter. You jolt upright, your heart pounding as you wake up from your intense nap. 

“H-Huh, whu-- Tai?” you whine, before you see your absolute unit of a boyfriend burst through the bathroom door. 

“GUESS WHO’S BACK!!!”

You could only spring out of bed and shriek with glee, nearly pouncing on your boyfriend as he welcomes you with open arms. He spins you around happily, peppering your face with kisses. 

“I couldn’t have done it without you, babe! We finally did it! I finally feel like myself again! I’m a whole new me!!!” Fatgum cheers, squeezing you tightly as you do your best to hug him back. 

“I told you that you’d get back into shape soon!” you jab, squeezing him back as he continues to adore you. You pull back from him, hands splaying out over his wide chest.

You flick his nose with your index finger, chuckling,” That’s what I like to hear~”

“But don’t forget what we talked about... you were still beautiful then... and you’re just as beautiful now, especially since you’re safe and happy~” Taishiro grins down at you, kissing you sweetly as he nods. 

“Yeah, I know... If it’s a part of who I am... I should try to adapt and appreciate it. And if you already love it... then maybe I can too~” 

The two of you continue to celebrate, basking in the particularly warm and divine moment. Taishiro was more than relieved, but you were just content with the fact that you finally got through to him. And hopefully, he will understand and see himself the way that you do.

Morella Castle Building, Castellón

Location: Morella, province of Castellón, Valencian Community, eastern Spain

Consolidation and restoration in the area of “Sant Francesc” and “La Pardala” in Morella Castle .

Morella Castle restoration in Castellón

The general criterion for intervention has been to restore and consolidate the existing masonry, maintaining their ruinous physiognomy, mainly in their crowns, hollows and surfaces, avoiding reinterpretation of the original state.

For the necessary added structural elements, have been used compatible materials such as lime concrete, with stainless steel and glass fibre reinforcing, with tones and textures that integrate with the rest of the interesting historical stratigraphy of the existing and discovered masonry. In the same way, for the necessary added functional elements such as carpentry, it has been used stainless steel with titanium steam treatment, giving it a finish that integrates with the rest of the intervention.

In the area of the loopholed wall, about 70 meters long and about 14 meters high, the main work has been focused on the structural consolidation, being at risk of collapse, as well as the cleaning and restoration. Outside the walls, four buttresses have been placed, reinforcing the foundation, recovering the exported land and sealing and consolidation of cracks.

In the interior of the walls, an important volume from Carlist War period fillings has been removed because of they affected structurally the wall, appearing numerous archaeological remains, deposited in the Museum of the Castle of Morella, as well as the finding of three lime ovens, leaving visible medieval rammed-earth that remained hidden. For the collection of rainwater, the main cause of the pathologies caused in the mansory of the Castle, a system of diffuse pavements and pipes has been arranged that direct the waters to a pre-existing outdoor pool.

The access to the Sant Francesc Tower has been recovered by the execution of the roof in its wall-walks annex, its stairs, and the increase of the semi-demolished wall and the tense. All the masonry has been restored, including the ramp and its annex building.

In the area of Pardala Tower, the entire filling has been emptied to its original level to be able to waterproof and systematize the collection of water, executing his lost cover. The exterior masonry has been restored, with curious finds such as cannonballs embedded in the Tower, or a hidden gunboat. In the same area, the ancient overhanging latrines, that remained undetected, have been enhancement, executing a carpentry that allows to emphasize and to leave visible the corbels of this important historical element, to be the point of entry in 1838 of the Carlist troops.

2021 NBA Draft Prospect Profiles: James Bouknight

New Post has been published on https://tattlepress.com/nba/2021-nba-draft-prospect-profiles-james-bouknight/

2021 NBA Draft Prospect Profiles: James Bouknight

Over the next month, GBB will be profiling various players the Memphis Grizzlies may target in the 2021 NBA Draft. This year we will be breaking it up in to three sections – five to likely trade up for, five potentially available right around pick #17 where Memphis is slotted to pick, and five that surely will be there or perhaps the Grizzlies could even trade back and still select.

Next in our trade-up draft targets is the “Brooklyn Dodger” James Bouknight from the University of Connecticut.

James Bouknight, Guard, UCONN

6’5”, 190 lbs (6’8.25” wingspan), 20 years old from Brooklyn, New York

Two seasons at UCONN: 27.9 minutes per game, 15 points per game, 46 FG% (32% from three, 80% from the line), 4,7 rebounds per game, 1.4 assists per game, 0.9 steals, 0.2 blocks

ADVANCED STATS OF STRENGTH (per Tankathon) : Usage rate (31.6%)

ADVANCED STATS TO IMPROVE: Ast/TO ratio (0.64), Ast%/Usage (.41), Off Rating (108.7), Effective field goal% (49.8%), True Shooting % (54.6%)

AWARDS AND ACCOLADES: 2020-21 First Team All Big East, 2019-20 Third Team All-AAC, 2020 AAC All-Freshman Team

CURRENT BIG BOARD PLACEMENTS: 13th overall (Tankathon), 21st overall (Ringer), 8th overall (ESPN), 8th overall (CBS Sports), 9th overall (The Athletic)

The Memphis Grizzlies are coming off an injury-riddled second season of a rebuild that saw them exceed expectations by winning the NBA play-in and making the NBA Playoffs for the first time since 2017. As great as the playoff performances were from the likes of Ja Morant and Dillon Brooks, it was not enough to outlast Donovan Mitchell and the plethora of shooters that supplied the Utah Jazz’s offensive fire power. As deep as the Grizzlies were from a talent and productivity stand point last season, the Jazz series highlighted one thing that the Grizzlies need moving forward: someone not named Ja Morant who can consistently put the ball in the hoop. James Bouknight can be that guy — at a cost. As draft season started, Bouknight looked like a potential steal for teams in the 10-20 range, but now he is rising rapidly up NBA Draft boards as he flashes his potential to be a star in the league.

Bouknight will not be there at pick #17. Honestly, he probably won’t make it past the 8th overall pick. That being said, if the Grizzlies become enamored with the prospect being compared to Donovan Mitchell and long-desired trade target Zach LaVine, I won’t blame them for trying to make a move up into the lottery. Bouknight is not an analytical darling by any means but checks a lot of boxes in the Grizzlies formula that Shawn Coleman highlighted last season.

What He Does Well

IndyStar-USA TODAY Sports

A key element of this current era of Grizzlies basketball has been getting more explosive and modern compared to the “Grit ‘n’ Grind” Grizzlies of years’ past. They don’t get much more explosive than Bouknight in this year’s draft, and much to the Grizzlies blueprint, it translates to both ends.

James Bouknight sent the nets to Hell today in a tough OT loss to #9 Creighton.

— In Due Time (@League_Him) December 20, 2020

Offensively, there’s not much to say that hasn’t already been said. Bouknight is one of those guys that every team wants — an aggressive three-level scorer who can not only make shots, but create the separation to create his own as well. Similar to Mitchell and LaVine, he uses an explosive first step to get to the rim for acrobatic layups and highlight reel dunks. In the same mold of Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant and many other young guards, he is a patient ball handler who can draw fouls with deceptive moves as well as use hesitations and step backs to create space and get to their spots and get their shots off. As his highlight reel above shows, he’s comfortable playing off the ball cutting to the rim as a lob threat.

Defensively, Bouknight has all of the tools to be a more than capable defender at the NBA level. He took a leap on that end his sophomore season, impacting the game by using his athleticism to jump into passing lanes and flash at driving opponents using his wingspan and quick hands to strip opposing ball handlers. As is the case with every young guard, there’s room for improvement — especially in on-ball, point of attack situations — but the established floor is already really good for a 20 year old.

An underrated aspect of his game that ticks another box for the Memphis Grizzlies’ draft formula is Bouknight’s instincts on the glass. While Bouknight may be the smallest of the top-5 shooting guards in the 2021 class, he leads the group in rebounding, averaging 6.4 rebounds per game. This ability only increases his value on both ends and the likelihood of him being a draft night target for Memphis in a trade up situation.

If his play from college translates, he has the chance to be a star in this league that is more than serviceable on the defensive end of the floor thanks to his athleticism.

Where He Can Improve

David Butler II-USA TODAY Sports

There are two things that analytics will point to for James Bouknight to improve as he moves to the next level. One is his shot making from deep — as he only shot 32% from three over the course of two seasons at UCONN — and his playmaking. Bouknight, in a self-aware answer during the NBA Draft combine, acknowledged that his role as the “go-to guy” in college could lead to “ill advised” and “tough” shots but also stated his three-point shooting is “underrated.”

— Jonathan Givony (@DraftExpress) June 26, 2021

As shown above, James Bouknight put on a shooting display at the NBA Combine Pro Day. This shooting capability may become more of the norm at an NBA level, with the offense less centered around him and his ability to create space.

The college numbers say one thing about his shooting ability but as Elite Media Group’s Reese Holliday points out, his ability to shoot 80% from the free throw line over two college seasons shows the potential to improve into being an efficient three-level scorer on the NBA level.

In college, Bouknight was “the guy,” as all eyes were on him to make plays for offense — which could lead to over dribbling and tunnel vision, a problem a lot of young guards have in similar situations. This is something that can be worked on at the next level. With an improved supporting cast, it is a lot easier to pass out of situations instead of forcing bad shots and turning the ball over.

The Fit

There’s been a lot of discussion about the Grizzlies consolidating at the shooting guard and small forward positions moving into next season. The pipe dream of these scenarios have been Bradley Beal and Zach LaVine. With Bouknight, the Grizzlies could potentially consolidate at a smaller sell than what would be required for the established All-Stars and members of Team USA.

With the addition of Bouknight, there’s a lifted pressure for everyone. Ja Morant has a new lob threat in the starting lineup who isn’t afraid to takeover if he has to. The scoring load for Dillon Brooks lightens, allowing more catch-and-shoot opportunities as the 3rd or 4th option in most lineups. Jaren Jackson Jr. has someone else on the perimeter drawing attention away from him. Bouknight would also add a capable perimeter defender to whoever remains from the trade that would have to happen to get him in Beale Street Blue. Taylor Jenkins would have another two-way asset that can be deployed in a variety of ways in small ball lineups due to Bouknight’s versatility as a defender.

This would be a win for everyone involved.

The Verdict

Photo by Porter Binks

The Grizzlies lucked out twice last year thanks to teams using age as a negative and opting for one and done’s over more experienced players. This will not be the case for the second year guard out of UCONN as his rise up big boards has nearly locked him within the top ten.

The tools he possesses on both ends are too valuable for him to slide far, regardless of him being “older” than the one-and-done prospects in this year’s draft. If the Memphis Grizzlies want to pair Bouknight with Ja Morant, it’s going to cost them something, but the front office moves over the last few years have prepared them for a scenario like this. And if they become the team many think they can become, the picks will lose their value after so long anyway, so strike while the iron is hot and go get a guy that fits the newly established standard here in Memphis and can fill it up as a member of the young core for years to come.

Will it happen though? Only time will tell.

James Bouknight will most likely fall in the 4-8 range on Draft night. The more he falls the more the Grizzlies should entertain trading up to pair him up with a young core fresh off a playoff run.

That time EVERYONE wanted to kill Diego;

A loud crash rang through the air as drywall and bricks flew everywhere, and tires could be heard screeching almost as loudly as the students of Auardon Prep. A car had crashed through the wall of the student lounge, which sent the students scattering and (thankfully), no one got hurt. Not a student could be seen in the area and other than the terrified screaming of fleeing students, the school was eerily silent. That is, until the doors to the car where thrown open.

"Oh shit, oh fucking shit!" 19 year old, Diego Ethan de Vil yelped, jumping out of the car-- hands gripping at his hair as he surveyed the damage. He didn't really care about the car-- it belonged to his demented, abusive aunt after all-- but the school? He knew that the damage done to the school wasn't something he could just cover up like he did back on the isle when he broke or crashed into something. And he also knew that he couldn't pin it on someone else because of the amount of people who had just witnessed the incident. Because of the amount of people who saw--

"Uh, Diego?" A tiny voice piped up from the driver's seat, sounding scared and hesitant. The teen in question swallowed heavily and -- despite his own fear-- replied, albeit warily with "Yeah Hadie?" His knees were buckling, his heart was pounding out of his chest, and his palms were all sweaty, and he could clearly see his whole life flashing before his eyes. Needless to say, he was disappointed to find that he had spent most of his life doing chores and getting his ass kicked. He didn't even look at Hadie; he was too tired to do so -- until the boy spoke up once more with "I'm sorry".

Diego looked over at him, feeling what little anger he had drain away at the gulity look on Hadie's face. "It's fine, kid. I didn't think I'd ever live past 20 anyway. Just make sure to put Carnations on my casket after I get murdered by your father for this--"

Click. Click. Clack. Thump. Thump. Thump. Tap.

Diego winced as he heard the pitter-patter of footsteps--multiple of them-- heading towards them from all directions before the doors were thrown open by several different people. Hadie ran and hide behind him, burying his face in his side as he heard Mal, FG, Coach Jenkins, Carlos, Ben, Harriet, and several other friends, teachers, and family members yell out "DIEGO!" The boy in question just stared at them blankly, trying to ignore the loudness of his beating heart. He just tilted his head and smirked weakly at them, making direct eye contact with Carlos "Well, well, well.. if it isn't the consequences of my own actions..." Not a soul laughed at his joke. Not even Hadie, who was still using him as a human shield between him and his sister. Well, that just went to show just how fucked he was. Diego was really starting to wonder why he had thought letting an 8 year old child drive a car was even a good idea in the first place.

GIVE ME MORE HADIE CONTENT

Give me a young Hadie finding out THE Mal is his big sister

Give me Hadie wanting to get to know her

Give me Mal and Hadie acting like total strangers in public so they don't show weakness except Mal beats the SHIT out of anyone who so much looks at Hadie wrong

Give me Hadie hanging out with the core four

Give me Hadie being instant best friends with Dizzy because she's basically Evie's sister and Evie is family so so is Dizzy

Give me Hadie RACING down the bridge to see his sister now that they don't have to pretend to be strong

GIVE ME HADIE BEING THE RINGBEARER AT BEN AND MALS WEDDING

GIVE ME MORE TINY FIRE BOY

Worry, as FG spends N679m daily on feeding schoolchildren during lockdown

New Post has been published on https://thebiafrastar.com/worry-as-fg-spends-n679m-daily-on-feeding-schoolchildren-during-lockdown/

Worry, as FG spends N679m daily on feeding schoolchildren during lockdown

Insistence by the Federal Government to continue its homegrown school feeding programme, even when schools in the country are currently shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic, may not only fail abysmally, but become a drain pipe on the lean resources of government at this point in time. This is the position of some stakeholders in the education sector such as the National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, the Nigeria Union of Teachers, NUT, Concerned Parents and Educators, CPE among others.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

They made their positions on the matter known while speaking with Vanguard, basing their fears on workability of the logistics needed to take food to the homes of pupils since people are not allowed to congregate in large numbers because of the pandemic.

This is just as it was gathered that government claims to be spending the sum of N679 million daily or N13.5 billion monthly on the project in 31 states of the federation including the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

According to the South-West Coordinator of NANS, Comrade Kappo Samuel Olawale, given the situation in the country, the plan is not realistic. “The plan is not realistic at all.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

To me, it is a huge prank and a costly one for that matter. How many houses will the food vendors cover since schools are not in session and pupils cannot congregate at a point? “If they ask the vendors to go and supply the food rations to the pupils at home, it is not that the beneficiaries are living at a spot or a particular place. Even if that is possible, it will increase the cost of logistics.

“Also, if you are asking the pupils to go to a particular place to collect vouchers for the food or even collect the food, there is no doubt the situation will become rowdy and the large gatherings we want to avoid will present themselves, the process would eventually be hijacked by others.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

“Why can’t they feed the parents and the parents feed their wards? The other time palliatives were to be given people, the process was badly coordinated. The truth is some people just want to make money for themselves,” he said.

Meanwhile, findings showed that the federal government would spend N70 per meal daily to feed 9.7 million pupils in 53,715 schools in 31 states of the federation before schools were shut down because of COVID-19.

That translates to N679 million daily or N13.5 billion monthly. The Federal Government contributes 60 per cent of the money, with the states augmenting the balance.

Meanwhile, the federal government has requested the Department of State Service, DSS, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission, ICPC,the Code of Conduct Bureau,CCB as well as civil society and non governmental organisations to help monitor contractors engaged in the school feeding programme which begins on Thursday.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, which stated this in a release yesterday, also disclosed that over 6,000 schools would serve as distribution centers for clusters of communities, except in some states with unique security and safety issues, where other structures will be used. It particularly said parents or caregivers of beneficiaries will collect what it called “Take-Home Rations” on behalf of the 3,131,971 households to be impacted by the intervention programme. The document read:

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

“Each household will receive a take-home ration valued at N4,200 and made up of 5 kg bag of rice, 5 kg bag of beans, 500 ml Vegetable Oil, 750 ml Palm Oil, 500 mg Salt, 15 pcs of eggs, 140gm tomato paste. “These rations have been reviewed by nutrition experts to ascertain the nutritional value and benefit to the children. The Ministry is also deploying resources to provide oversight for these processes to ensure equity and accountability.”
