[cxhleel108]

S7 Thots for this week: I’ve had enough…

• Here go this bitch🙄🙄🙄

• The new bed outfits were kinda meh but that purple and gold number was cuuuuuute.

• Lame ass sex scene on the daybeds yayyyy.

• Yes Willow we had a VERY nice evening. Did you have fun with the “him-shaped space” in your bed?😁

• Aw Bonnie and Vicky are sad that I made love with Bryson? That’s awful, I really don’t give a fuck tho.

• Snog, Marry, Pie day is here😍😍😍

• Oh don’t worry bitch I got somebody in mind too!

• Daphne immediately going to snog Evan like she’s so real I’m sorry.

(isat spoilers, full game just in case) tell me about typos because oops

Sussed out

TTOS version of Kinda Sus dialogue from ISAT

Bonnie: ...

Loop: "..."

Bonnie: ...Oh, do you want me to start? Bonnie: We did it, Loop! Our journey is over now. Bonnie: ...meh. Bonnie: Looking back, this part was kinda...short, compared to our whole journey.

(...Only short for your party. You don't even remember how long you've been trapped.)

Bonnie: But we saved Vaugarde, Loop! That's something to brag about, right? Bonnie: I bet my sister will be impressed when I finally go back home. Bonnie: It was fun travelling with you, but i still need to take care after her. Or at least make sure she is OK. She is probably VERY confused right now, haha! Bonnie: Although, I might need to continue my travels after this...

Loop: (Oh, you know why, teehee~)

"To find a birthday gift for her?"

"To find the rarest Vaugardian recipe?"

Bonnie: Oh, you managed to figure it out! Congratulations! Probably makes sense because we are a family of chefs... Bonnie: Don't tell the others. I like seeing Mira trying to guess, it's so cute. Bonnie: What's it gonna be next? A silverware set? A golden spatula?

Loop: (You wanna see them laugh again...) "Well, she isn't cooking with these gueses"

(Bonnie makes a pained expresion, but after a second lets out a long "pfffft")

Bonnie: Hahaha! Fine, you win. Bonnie: I'll miss you, Loop. Including your jokes. Bonnie: Even though I never knew too much about you, I know you are a good person. And that is what matters, right? But you shouldn't hide from us this much, okay? We'd love to listen to your problems! Bonnie: You can also visit me at Bambouche! You'll get to see my kick-crab sister!

(Bonnie smiles at you joyfully.)

(You fake a smile with your eyes.)

Bonnie: ...That isn't fooling anyone. What's-

Odile: HEY! WHY IS THERE A LEAF IN MY BOOK???

Isa: W-WHAT?

Bonnie: ...oops, that was me. Forgot to tell her I've used her book for herb drying, hehe. Bonnie: But really, you don't look...happy. Is everything good? Need a snack?

Loop: "...What do you mean? I'm fine, teehee..."

Bonnie: That "teehee" was even more fake than your smile. Bonnie: And I don't just mean now! You've felt off since yesterday! You've stopped being mysterious and sassy and cool like usual! Now it's just kinda...sad. Bonnie: What's wrong, Loop?

Loop: "Nothing!"

(Augh, you said it too quick! Now they will ask more questions...)

Bonnie: ....fine. You could've just said you don't want to talk about it. Bonnie: But don't pretend it isn't there. I notice it because I care.

Loop: *mumbling* "...what would you notice, anyway...."

(...Bonnie...closes their eyes and sighs.)

Bonnie: Oh, I notice a lot of things, Loop.

(...?! Did you say it too loudly?!)

Bonnie: ...I could brush off the fact that you don't pay attention to traps... Or the way you find keys like you already knew about them, especially that Crying Key...

Loop: (!!!) "Boniface, wai-"

Bonnie: You're the person who is supposed to do those things, after all. But I draw the line at the books you've read.

(!!!!!)

Bonnie: See... I might not be as smart as Isa or Dile... But I am the oldest in the group. I feel like I need to look after you all very carefully. Bonnie: ... Bonnie: I am also a chef.

(...?)

Bonnie: Even now I can feel it... This sickly sweet scent around you. You read a book about it here, right?

Loop: (OH NO) "Bonnie, please..."

(You feel your pupils shaking.)

Bonnie: ...That was when I started to connect the dots, as Dile would say. Your sudden change of attitude, the books, the smell... Bonnie: Now that I say it, it also explains why you were unfazed by the spikes in the Death Corridor.

(YOU NEED TO STOP THIS. YOU CAN'T LET THEM FIND OUT!!!)

Loop: "B-but how would I know?!" Loop: "It the first time I'm here, so there is no way I could've known, right? I'm just trying to be cool, haha!"

(Your small laughs are getting pathetic.)

Bonnie: Oh, there is one way. You should know by now, with all your "research".

(!!!)

Bonnie: I wanted you to say it yourself, but it seems like I have to. Bonnie: You have been here before. Just not on your travels. You have been repeating this part of our journey. I guess more than once, even. Bonnie: Did something happen? Did you wish to loop back, just to cancel-

Loop: "NO!"

Odile, Mirabelle, Isa: !

Loop: "SOMETHING DID HAPPEN! BUT I DIDNT WISH FOR IT!"

(Tears start running down your cloaked face.)

Loop: "And I don't even know what happened! We have won! We should have won many days ago!"

Bonnie: Loop, please-

Loop: "And you can't figure it out more than me! Because you can't remember! And I never have the courage to share it!"

(The taste of the sugar...)

(You drop to your knees.)

Mirabelle: Loop, why are you yelling?

Odile: What is going on?

(They all can feel it. You can see it on their faces. Especially Bonnie's.)

Loop: "BECAUSE I THINK LIKE IT'S ALL MY FAULT! AND IT IS, ISN'T IT! I AM THE ONE THAT CAUSED ALL OF THIS SOMEHOW!"

Bonnie: No, wait-

Loop: "And if you remembered all the things I tried to get out, you would abandon me! You would hate me! And, and-"

<Loopback.>

Bonnie: ....fine. You could've just said you don't want to talk about it. Bonnie: But don't pretend it isn't there. I notice it because I care.

(You barely manage not to continue yelling.)

Loop: ...Thank you, Bonnie. But I don't want to talk about it, yes.

(Bonnie smiles.)

Bonnie: See, that was easy! But do get a snack later, you look... pale.

(...yeah, it was easy...)

[mizerable-drowning]

fanmade designs of michael's uno buddies! I wanted to do last month... but they're scuffed :') (esp Michael, he's the last one drawn and I really was tired for him... HE LOOKS HORRIBLE IM SORRY MIKE LOL I LOVE YOU MIKE PLEASE I PROMISE I CAN DRAW YOU PROPERLY)(I'm aware how easily I can resize certain things)

the jeremy/bonnie bro was already drawn by the ooftroop, he's there for refence

theyre moreso concepts because i am not satisfied with them, but I'll leave notes!

Chica and Fred uno buddies are surfboys! basing off what the ooftroop said about them moving out of utah, I had the random idea of them becoming pro surfers before becoming marine biologists

why? idk, fredbro gave me surfer dude vibes and I went with it.

I notice jeremike's eye colors paralell with each other, obviously

foxy = red

bonnie = blue

so i did that with fred and chicabro! chicabro's shirt is sapphire, I desaturated it and made it more purple-y for fredbro's eyes, I made chicabro's eyes fredbro's green shirt

from now on i'll just dub fredbro as iggy leopold, and chica as sioux robertson, I'll explain later (I actually don't know if I can name them, I'm just giving them names just so I don't write fred/chicabro constantly)

iggy is white so he's sunburnt.

funfact: while searching for vintage surfer dude shirts, I found the exact shirt the phone dude has! (and I know it cuz oof posted it on their twitter before, the exact image) Sioux just has the swim suit thing

...I wasn't sure what to do with Sioux's hair... I had zero idea how to translate black hairstyles into the UCFT art style. I tried to do twists, but they look horrible; I didn't wanna overtly detail them as I felt that'd be outta place of the art style, but it looks horrible as this. IIRC there's not really any black hair styles drawn in UCFT (yet) so no references sadly

I'm sorry for that man, will experiment with Sioux's hair

I wanted to make Iggy's window peak obvious, hence the 2 different hair colors, I supposed it's sunbleach idk

Okay why did i dub them with stupid sounding names?

Sioux comes from Siouxsie Sioux, why? Suzie posses Chica right? Suzie and Siouxsie are pronounced the same, but I wouldn't name him Siouxsie, so Sioux it is

Robertson comes from Robert Smith, thought of dubbing him Sioux Smith, but Fritz Smith exists

Ik unrelated characters can share the same common name, but meh :P

Iggy comes from me thinking of what stupid names I can name a surfer and a jojo reference, Leopold comes from well... Freddy originally being named Leopold... So what if Iggy adopted the Freddy mask because of the shared name? that lines up in the timeline I think

These are honestly lowkey placeholder names just for this yap session, I'm not gonna use those out of this post

maybe I'll give them serious names who knows, if I have oof's blessing ofc

Sioux and Mike's sketches, i deleted Iggy's

yes mike drastically changed... i didn't feel like doing something from the ground up +consistency so I just reused the base... terrible... learnt my lesson

Final notes:

I found some minor details in the UCFT style fascinating,

it's kinda hard to tell if something is drawn by oof or hyatiid hyatiid does most of the drawings IIRC, but I feel like I can tell when the artist switches and their minor quirks! I can't say for sure who's who but:

Michael's eye brow color changes sometimes, from a darker color from his main hair, to straight black. I also notice his eyebrows are a layer above hair, not sure if that's always the case as I haven't seen enough drawings of his eyebrows above his mullet to tell

Jeremy's piercing & scar placement is inconsistent, not that noticeable as it's generally the same area, but not the exact same everytime

Michael's hair detailing varies a lot

Eyes. they can be close, far, rounded, etc. rounded eyes are mostly for happy expressions

I think Oof keeps the whites of William's (purple form)eye contained with Hyatiid doesn't? I also think Oof is the one the draws lines under the eye without a fading effect while Hyatiid does

[capitainecorbeau]

The software I used to extract the text from ISAT also extracted the japanese translation, and it's all (I think ?) in one tab and looks like I have 18,743 strings of text to translate. No biggie :'D I already did, like... a few hundreds !!!

Also, in terms of the like, thornier things to translate, I still have to :

-figure out the vocab for the Change belief

-find puns for Siffrin's attacks

-figure out how the fuck to translate blinding as a swear. Most of the french words I could use are big and unwieldy and too commonly use to easily pass as a swear. I'll need to extrapolate a bit (I have two leads : something too bright, or something that would stop you from seeing the stars).

-Maybe pick a better name for Loop than what I have now. It's serviçable but honestly meh.

But ! The crab based swears are working really well ! In fact, the fact that people are only using synonyms rather than the word "crab" itself is kinda making "crab" into something "taboo" (dunno if it's the right word). I could have fun with that :3 Siffrin or Odile just saying the word "crab" rather than the swear synonyms and Mira/Isa and Bonnie all going "D: YOU CAN'T SAY THAT !!"

Season 7 Volume I Thoughts

Okay, initial thoughts... meh. It's okay - the dialogue is half-decent, it seems to be mostly fresh and enjoyable, and the characters are showing their personalities. But I'm also far, far from being blown away.

Most of the guys bore me, but Joyo's the most attractive to me and his personality hasn't turned me off, so he's my guy for the time being

I'm not vibing with any of the girls as friends and actively dislike Summer and kinda Bonnie too. Uma might be okay but as we've all said, she looks like she's holding it in

There was opportunity here with the CA concept to do something fresh and interesting but so far it's the same old, except that there's no official recoupling yet. How cool would it have been to do the "Casa girl walk" like on the show where the girls all strut down the drive together and the guys freak out when they arrive? Instead we just meet the new girls, then meet the boys, then it's the same old thing. Yawn

WHERE'S CASSIUS?!?! Obvs we didn't get a preview for him so we weren't expecting him but are we really expected to believe that it's just all the OG people in the villa? Also how much time has passed, because we got a little story about the first couple days and then just "but that feels like forever ago." WHAT'S HAPPENED SINCE THEN?!!? WHY/HOW DID CASSIUS GET DUMPED, ESPECIALLY WHEN ESTELLE AND ALEX HAVE NO CHEMISTRY?!?!

Speaking of, none of the girls have actually watched the show? We could've gotten the deets from them! They could've had pre-conceived ideas of who they were after! It's dumb that they all went in blind!

We could've had a group chat where everyone says who they're interested in, like in S2. C'mon, you're based on a show, do what the show does

The customization is lacking compared to last season. I like that MC is facing forward, except her body pose is still sideways and overall is just weird. The outfits are mostly trash (including the evening ones that haven't been shown yet, we wore our party outfits in this volume). The art is more polished than the preview but honestly why show such a fugly preview if it's gonna look different in the game?

Raf is gonna get his heart broken, I know it

There's already a fair amount of shared dialogue/shared routes. Summer goes after whoever we like, setting herself up to be the villain of the season. Great.

I'm gonna keep playing, it's alright, but ever since it was announced I haven't been remotely excited for this season, and I don't see that changing anytime soon. It'll take a lot for me to want to write any fics for this season (especially with my S2/S6 fics still in the works!)

[indigo-villin]

I saw the fnaf movie.

I absolutely LOVED ITTT

There will be NO HATE for it on my account.

I loved the pillow fort part, they're KIDS in the suits makes sense, and if you say it isn't realistic with them being murderers, just assume it was to lure Abby to them for later. Literally EVERYTHING they did was understandable and funny/scary when it needed to be.

Foxy's dumdum doom song was suuper spooky to hear and seeing him attacking was also terrifying. Seeing Bonnie in the closet with that one guy was GREAT and absolutely terrifying. (Carl) Cupcake was terrifying and entertaining as a tiny chihuahua villain (you cannot convince me he isn't Susie's dog). The bite scene with Freddy shook me and was cool (even if it was only in silhouette, but meh pg 13 rating and all). It was cool seeing golden freddy too, seeing the kid and everything. Seeing vids of people hugging chica and her reaction to getting her cupcake messed with me for the movie kinda, like she was so sweet, even in the movie, until she was bringing Abby into the scooper type thing, like she legit scared me by that point. XD

Mike was cool, his story was interesting enough, I felt bad for him. Abby was a interesting with her dynamic with Mike and how she generally was as a proper character, the actress was very good. Honestly all of the kid actors did well I'm happy and proud of them for taking their roles as seriously as they needed to. Mathew Lillard did amazing as "Steve" my sis didn't go into the movie knowing anything about it past it being a fnaf movie and the twist with him got her. XD I knew the twist, but whatever, it was still a fun time seeing him. Vanessa was...well honestly I'm mixed on her.

Vanessa looked like she just had trauma with the place, I thought she was gonna be a sister to one of the kids, hence her hanging around and watching out for the guards. It was definitely a twist having her be Will's daughter, but given the theories people made about game Vanessa I kinda see where it would come in to play... The ONLY criticism with the movie I have is that her actions made no sense, even with knowing she's the daughter. One minute she's telling Mike as much as she can to attempt to get him to research for himself, then she's getting all huffy about him doing anything. I'm not gonna be having any other posts about how much she seemed to think ass backwards so here are ALL of my complaints on Vanessa:

Her choice to get mad at him for "not locking the place up" makes less and less sense when you consider WHAT door the thugs came through. Mike only had access to the MAIN door, the thugs came in through a garage door or something with a CROWBAR/other weapon, which she would've seen, not like the animatronics could've dealt with their vehicle. Her choice to demand an explanation for why Mike had sleeping pills at his work? Not a good look, she's not his employer so he has no legal reason to tell her shit. "Oh I have to write you up on letting some people come in and wreck the place" the place has SECURITY CAMS, and he was OFF DUTY last I checked if the security isn't there it isn't THEIR fault. IF ANYTHING it would be hers, she's the cop that patrols the place daily. Also THROWING MIKE'S PILLS INTO THE LAKE??? I'm sorry but as a chronically ill person myself, NO, anyone even touches my pills without asking I'm gonna rip em a new one. I don't know what med he had or the price for those kinda meds, but the guy is OBVIOUSLY BROKE, and just cause he said he used them for his dream theory stuff doesn't mean he didn't still need them for normal sleep at home. No instead she threw them in the lake and he had to spend anywhere from $120 USD to like $800 USD (I'm guessing but I'm still probably off since we don't know if he had insurance or not) later on in the movie. Also her getting upset with him having Abby, I get it she got hurt, but until that point (and hey if she had SAID don't touch the guitar NOTHING WOULD'VE HAPPENED) the animatronics were fine with her, they were having fun and enjoying themselves. Also telling Mike "I'll shoot you if you bring here again" did she really think he brought there for no reason? She's a kid, the animatronics are OBVIOUSLY dangerous, and even before that he knew the place had been WRECKED meaning he had to make the conscious choice to bring her into an old ass building that was destroyed to some degree, and she thought he took that choice LIGHTLY????? LIKE NO his usual babysitter got killed THANKS (not that he knew that). He was out his ONLY babysitter who the kid didn't despise with her whole being.

Alright Vanessa rant over, still a good movie I absolutely loved it, just slight irritations with Vanessa. ALSO bb scares were funny and I got spooked with the first one, had an internal spook reaction to the second, and the third I knew was going to happen kinda (knew a scare was coming, didn't expect it to be bb). My partner pretty much jumped at all three bb scares. XD

And finally, the spring lock scene, I wasn't sure it would actually be in the movie. I thought it being pg 13 (yes technically pg 15 in non-american theaters) we'd get a silhouette like the bite scene, but I was pleasantly surprised with it being a longer drawn out death. I say drawn out, but I just mean it was allowed to happen as slowly as it needed to be, it didn't take roughly two seconds for him to die. It took as long as it should've given what he did and how the characters felt about it. The kids got their revenge and it was long and painful for Willy, just as it should've been.

Also at the very end of the credits we get the voice that says letters and it spelled "COME FIND ME" which was cool to hear. Apparently there was a shadow freddy easter egg thing, so it was probably him saying it, but I don't know for sure.

FNAF Encyclopedia Judgement Part: 4

Shadow Freddy and Phantom Freddy Page(s)

These both are one off pages so there is not a lot there to dissect (whether that is a good thing or not is up for you to decide.)  But them being short means less to read so I can speed through these two.  Enjoy 😊

Shadow Freddy- “Darkness is his vibe.”

I feel his iconic phrase ‘Follow me’ could have worked better, but meh this one is not bad just kinda Dates the book (years down the line, vibe may become a dated phrase.) 

[ Data File]

Shadow Freddy does Not appear in Fnaf 4 or HW.  Nightmare, I'm pretty sure has been confirmed to not be Shadow Freddy and where the Hell was shadow Freddy in help wanted, no Freddy being turned into a black void with glowing eyes does not count that is steel wools dollar store version of the purple bear and spoiler alert the version I just mentioned has its own page.

[small paragraph]

Not a nitpick but a question: does Shadow Freddy even crash your game if you look at him too long? I thought it was just Shadow Bonnie that did that.

[‘So Who is He?’]

Franky at this point I'm pretty sure Shadow Freddy has been forgotten, we saw him properly twice and now never again will we see him, kinda sad...

[Image]

Only in game image so it’s good.

Shadows was fine, not much to say so 7/10 

Now onto Phantom Freddy.

[ Data File]

Where the hell is Phantom Freddy in Security Breach, Where?!

[small paragraph]

Phantom Freddy’s eyes look the same as all the other phantom’s eyes, what are they saying? What sets Freddy apart from the other Phantoms is his mechanic and having one leg.

[‘Ghosting in’]

Nothing to say it’s actually all accurate, and since we see Phantom Freddy in like one or two Story line games so there isn’t much to say about here.

[Image]

Good image

Phantoms was great mostly because there is so little to say about him, so there are few mistakes to make.  9/10

Skeleton Crew by Stephen King

It's eternity in there.

It's really tough for me to rate and write reviews of short story collections. This one's no different. There's a lot to love, here. There are also some complete duds. I'm not going to rate each one and average it out. That's not fair to the ones that I loved, because the ones that I loved... I LOVED! So I'm just going to post the notes that I made for each story (slightly edited for clarity) as I was reading the collection.

There may be some slight SPOILERS throughout this review, so please proceed with caution.

-The Mist: A novella. Incredible. Creepy and full of dread. The prose and mystery of it all is brilliant. I loved what it had to say about heard mentality and fear of the unknown. The film is a perfect adaptation. It even 'fixes' the ending, which is the only part of this story that isn’t a hard ten. (The film's ending is perfect. And fits the rest of the story so much better than this one. However, this one still works for what it is.)

-Here There Be Tygers: Meh... It's decent at depicting the illogical nature of childhood fears and imagination, but little else.

-The Monkey: Okay, I guess?? Way too long for what it has to offer, but there are a few moments that work very well.

-Cain Rose Up: Okay (and only just okay) because of how brief it is. And I like that it doesn’t give reasons or any backstory.  It definitely feels like he wrote it around the same time he wrote Rage.

-Mrs. Todd’s Shortcut: Loved loved loved this one. The story within a story structure (which comes back very often throughout this collection... that's some tried and true King shit, right there) works beautifully, the beauty of it is poignant, the magical/paranormal aspect is so exciting. Amazing.

-The Jaunt: Another awesome one. The ideas and execution are great. The ending is fantastic. This might be the best of the whole damn bunch. I would very much like to adapt this for the screen.

-The Wedding Gig: Not terrible, but I would’ve rather it been a whole story about the fat bride rising to power and the fall thereafter. She ended up being the most interesting part of it all.

-Paranoid: A Chant: A poem. The title says it all. A man sinking further and further into his paranoia. The structure works well enough.

-The Raft: Not very good. At all. It has a cool concept that could’ve packed some serious suspense, but all the characters (aside from the first killed, Rachel) were terribly unlikable, so I really just wanted them to die... Get it all over with.

-Word Processor of the Gods: Short and sweet. A fantastic concept with superb execution. And a hopeful ending?!? Hell yeah! I loved it.

-The Man Who Would Not Shake Hands: Fun/interesting to be back in the world of The Breathing Method. I like that room and the potential mysteries/mythology it holds. The story itself is interesting if slightly long-winded. But I thoroughly enjoyed the curse angle.

-Beachworld: Not a planet I'd like to visit. Similar hypnosis slant as The Raft. Dug this one significantly more. Interesting ideas and execution, but far from the best.

-The Reaper’s Image: I do really like the idea and mythology behind cursed items and shit like that. So this one worked for me despite being one of the lighter stories in this collection. Would work well as an episode of Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities.

-Nona: Just plain bad. So very bad. A Bonnie and Clyde/Natural Born Killers vibe with a pathetic, annoying main character. Didn't work at all.

-For Owen: A poem. A nice token for his son to look back on, but absolutely nothing more. Pure filler.

-Survivor Type: This one didn't do much for me, but it does have its moments. The exceedingly rambling prose throughout actually kinda works. And there's some wonderfully stomach-churning moments in here. I just wish the character wasn’t so damn blah.

-Uncle Otto’s Truck: I liked the whole truck holding a grudge idea, but its execution was the definition of meh.

-Morning Deliveries (Milkman #1): Hard to review it on its own, as solo it works as nothing more than a character building exercise.

-Big Wheels: A Tale of the Laundry Game (Milkman #2): The better of the two milkman stories because it has the payoff. The garage scene is a little sluggish, but it all works rather well in the end because of what it all leads into.

-Gramma: Ooohh this was a good 'un. A creepy glimpse into the irrational childhood fear of the elderly. And it’s witchy, too! The ending creeped me out big time. Damn good stuff.

-The Ballad of the Flexible Bullet: Very good, but a good deal longer than it needed to be. I’m convinced King understands and translates the toll writing has on an author better than any other writer out there… maybe ever. It’s a weird and interesting tale. And of course, another story within a story situation. No one does those quite as skillfully as King.

-The Reach: Didn’t like this one - at all - until its very end and King’s notes on it. Should’ve been shorter and in a different voice. I did really like that ending, though.

This was my first short story collection of King's, so far. I'd done a couple of his novella collections, but no short stories. The ones I loved most, here - The Jaunt, Mrs. Todd's Shortcut, Word Processor of the Gods, and (of course) The Mist - just may be among some of the most exciting pieces in terms of ideas that I've read from King, yet. So I'm definitely looking forward to getting to his other short story collections, soon.

"Madness is a flexible bullet."

8/10

Drop the blorbo list! Tell us why you like them!

Prompt from here!

I have a lot,,,,, Some I haven't even yapped about on here yet,,,,,, Imma break them up by fandom though to make reading easier haha

Identity V:

-Andrew Kreiss:

I like Andrew for a lot of reasons! His design, gameplay, overall theme, there's so much I could ramble on and on about. I remember what really cemented him on my fave list was parts of his personality and general character tidbits (one being sun sensitivity). Additionally, a lot of what I consider to be my "weirder" interests happen to align with him. Sometimes it's easier to delve into them and be my authentic cringe self with the guise of character deep dives haha.

All in all, I think he's an interesting character. Kinda my go to guy to say "Ah yes my son" when speaking about fictional characters.

-Emma Woods:

One of my faves from when I first started! She actually was one of the 3 that drew me in tbh (I called her the "cute gardener girl" back then). I remember being convinced I would main her, but alas.... only in duos. Despite this, she's stands strong as one of my top faves. I find her backstory/manor game to be really interesting - and weirdly entertaining considering the drama she causes in the game. I really enjoy her general "cutesy but dangerous" vibe. I've always been a sucker for that troupe.

Additionally, Lady Truth is one of my favorite spin off characters in the game! I love a good mystery with a female lead!! I honestly hope we see more of her outside of anniversary events.... She has so much good lore potential!

-Kurt Frank:

I didn't choose the Kurt life.... the Kurt like chose ME. No seriously I never would have guessed I'd end up mailing him. The percypocolypse does things to a man. I'm glad it did though. Kurt has honestly become one of my fave characters, I find him so silly and interesting. While his deductions are...interesting to read, I loved his manor game story! I wish there was more content of him (ex. translated twitter replies) I could look at for him :/ That aside, as a fellow daydreamer, I find Kurt's attitude contagious and his rambles fun. I wish he didn't die before sharing said story, but whatever. Maybe another event with him leading it will appear to fill the void with silly.

-Martha Behamfil:

Not only was she my first rescue main, but Martha helped me figure out my gender (real) (not clickbait). So uh, I do love her a lot for that. I also love her general themes of independence, while still keeping in touch with one's femininity in a way (ex. chasing her dreams to be a pilot while also indulging in a love life). I also just honestly love her outfits and gameplay as well. She's never not slayed in my eyes thus far. I have a very soft spot for her dskhafj -Ann

Annnn!!!! My lovely hunter main. She's sunk her cat claws into my heart and I do not wish for her to let go. I honestly love everything about her. Her backstory is hella engaging (NETEASE GIVE ME MORE FOOD), her abilities are fun, and honestly I find Apostle funny.

She was very quick to becoming one of my faves. I honestly could gush about her forever, but Im trying to keep these explanations semi fair!

-Michiko

I love Michi..... She brings me great calm and reminds me of my grandmother (she had a painting of geishas in her house when I was little). She's one of the few characters I've genuinely nearly cried after reading their backstory.

While I don't main her much anymore, I can't say I have ever stopped loving Michi as a character/looking at cool content of her. She's just gRAHHhh /POS

Fnaf:

-Mangle What's not to love about Mangle? They're like a silly dog. And I honestly fuck with that. I also just love there concept as like a robot nerd, but yk. My precious mungle fungle tungle bungle.

-Toy Bonnie

I honestly was very "meh" towards him for a good while. UNTIL I like essentially got kin assigned him by my old amino friends. He was basically my mascot for a bit so like I hold a lil bit of "hehe lil guy" to him.

-Ballora

I was OBSESSED with her as a kid. I cosplayed her, I drew her, I made fics, honestly I like was fully ready to see this crazy ballerina robot lady attack people. Alas, she only got scooped... LUCKILY THE FANDOM FILLED THE VOID THOUGH!! I love seeing neat content with her!

Don't Starve Together:

-Wendy My silly main! I mentally adopted her and Abagail a while ago hehe. I find them really fun to play, plus like... I think I just like semi morbid but cutesy characters so, HELL YEAH. I'm still learning the best way to play her, but I find it a fun relaxing experience to do. Overall I associate her with great calm and zen. She's a great gal.

MFMM: (Shortened list so I don't put the whole cast)

-Miss Fisher She is the moment, she is iconic, she IS Miss Fisher. No character has made me feel as empowered as she has. Like it's actually insane. She is another character that I associate with my grandma as well as they introduced me to the series itself. It truly wouldn't be Miss Fisher without me remembering the beautiful lady posed on the covers of the books on my grandmother's end table. Its been overall a very nice piece of media to sink my teeth into... NOT TO MENTION THERES SO MUCH OF IT!! I HAVENT EVEN FINISHED THE BOOKS!

-Dot

I love Dot. In both mediums of the series. Her character growth and overall attitude complements Miss Fisher's perfectly and is honestly such a delight to see. I also find her own moments of sleuthing to be really fun! I love when she has that strong confidence. TLDR: I wanna pinch her cheeks

[eyeofthechasm]

HII IIIIII wrote a lil somethin somethin for this

Not proofread v much so it may be kinda meh? But hey. Ur stuff’s amazing and im Kinda Going Crazy over it. Enjoy ig lmao

”…rin”

“…frin..”

“Frin!”

A gentle but firm whisper stirs you from your slumber. Your eye, reluctantly, opens as you sit up. Through the blurring and haziness, you can ever so slightly make out the figure of Bonnie next to your bed.

“…hwuh..?”

“I had a nightmare,” they state. Instantly, you feel much more awake.

“Oh, bonbon.” your eyebrow furrows with worry. “…you wanna talk about it?”

Silence stretches on. You can see their eyes clearer than anything; they shine faintly with a sheen of wiped tears. They’re hunched in on themself, either from the cold or..fear.

...

You hope it’s the former.

“You were there-” their voice hitches, eyes looking anywhere but at you. “Everyone was there, and..and the king was there, too.”

You your breath catches. Nightmares about the king…you suppose they’re unavoidable for little bonbon. At least they aren’t-

“And then…and then he grabbed me, and…”

Your heart stops.

No. Nonononono.

The memory flashes in your head, clear as the loop it happened. They aren’t supposed to remember that. They aren’t. That was…that’s over. In this time, it never happened. They were never supposed to experience that.

You tried to trust the King, to connect with him, one of the only people left from your homeland. You made an effort to resolve everything peacefully, but he…he tricked you. He froze your family in time. He grabbed Bonnie, and…and he…h e h u r t…

“…frin??”

You blink, suddenly pulled back to reality. Your chest feels tight, your eye stings, you can feel your heart beating in your throat. Are you breathing faster than before?

Bonnie’s hand is..on yours.

You ground yourself. Breathe in, and out.

Pull it together, Siffrin.

“It’s okay, Bonbon.” you flash them a smile, feeling unshed tears wet your eyelashes. “It was just a dream. It’s not real. You wanna…uh…take a walk?”

Bonnie’s excited nod brings a real smile to your face.

Nightmare

[notebookmusical]

Hi! How are you? Oh where in CA generally? I was here too cuz I live here haha. That's so nice..I'm glad it was sunny for you but it's been pretty cold and rainyish too. It always makes me feel ugh so I'm looking forward to spring next month. I don't have a least favorite really..they are just some im meh about but I guess I'm thinking of I Almost Do and Question I guess. I like the Story of us and Breathe and So it Goes but they're just never my favorites I guess and don't stand out in the album. What about you? Illicit Affairs is 10 and it's just kinda there to me along with the way I loved you but I love Marys song so idk. Maybe it's not that much of a pattern really. For 14, I don't care for you need to calm down Betty or Closure compared to others. I'm kinda nervous for this one and the title, since the comments from her Time interview bothered me a little. I hope it's more metaphorical than anything and has more of a Bonnie and Clyde vibe like we said! I'm just curious how the album will be and how it will sound.

Haha yes I am pretty excited for them all. I have played both Beyonce songs a lot and 16 carriages is a really good song. I will add your recs to my list along with Last Dinner Party, but am not as familiar with the other two. For twenty one pilots, they are supposed to release new music next week. I was hoping it would be the 21st since they did that last time but I guess not. However the easter egg stuff started and they have billboards with the new logo on it! Which is exciting and not what I expected. The new colors are reddish orange and yellow which is kinda part of lore. There's a cool theory about the album being called something like Inferno and also something about trials and evidence based on clues so far which could be like TPD. I am very excited to see if it will actually match up with Taylor again lol and the music and genre. I would be interested to see if you like their music when you can listen to it. Let me know if you want recs but I guess just start with Vessel or Blurryface if you want cuz I feel like I've done my best to explain their vibes lol and I will let you know how the new song is of course. Besides that, I will probably be playing all of Ariana and Bleachers music to prepare for their new albums.

Did you end up seeing the Wicked trailer yet? I did not watch it again since so I guess my excitement isn't really there yet and I mostly agree with you. I think the book is pretty different but it could be cool. It's pretty long so I will have to start it soon haha. I have not been reading that much lately but I really hope that can change by next month. I listened to some audios and videos of Aaron Tveit as Sweeney and think he is pretty good and better than I thought he was going to be. So that was something at least and made me happy. Also the connections category today! I must have done it last night right at midnight and thought it was yesterday's I guess. My sister and I knew it right away..I was kinda surprised it was the green category though and they tried to trick you with hard knocks lol.

A fun fact about me is that I used to confuse A Place in this World and the Outside all the time and did not know which one was which for the longest time, so they are definitely a pair to me and idk which one I like more. My favorites are Marys Song, Teardrops Our Song and Invisible so I'm most excited for those, but also replaying it a lot and being more familiar with ones I don't know as much or hear all the time. I think we will have to wait another year at this point though.. I was wrong about the ones I guessed and I don't think she played rep or Lover either. I keep guessing the Way I loved you and Glitch, so I'll stick with that..since those are two she hasn't performed yet. Begin Again and I think he knows which have similar thematic vibes, and change and starlight or a perfectly good heart. Lol idk if she will play those though. She's also adding some mashups to the mix which is really fun and makes it hard to guess. Wow that question is hard but off the top of my head, and not taking off too much from one era or anything, I think I would cut The Archer, We are Never, Tis the Damn Season, Bad Blood, and Midnight Rain. What about you? These are ones that seem least necessary to me I guess and I am excited to watch the movie again next month! That's a good point about why she wouldn't add a new set for the tour too, cuz the movie is already out. So she announced a new bonus track, so it makes me think the bonus tracks will be similar to Folklore and Evermore that had two bonus tracks and might be a different ending. The manuscript makes me think of the Lakes in a way and has a poets vibe to it and this one, the Bolter makes me think of its time to go, just based on title, mixed with the Archer. I have no idea if that's right but one is my favorite and the other is one of my least favorites lol. What do you think? I'm pretty sure the new lyrics means it goes with that song which is interesting but I'm not sure about the love you it's ruining my life one. I can't believe it's two months away only. I hope it's okay that I still talk to you about Taylor since I've seen some of your posts lately, which is fair and I do agree with some of it so I get it but also Taylor just makes me happy sometimes. I've felt weird and guilty talking to you about it like nothing is wrong since it seems to bother you more. Like you said, she has been a part of my life for a long time but I understand if you don't want me to talk about her anymore either. I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner and if I don't reply again it's because I will be stressed but hopefully not after this week. 🩷 Have a happy Wednesday!

hi!! i'm okay! looking forward to the weekend — it should be a good one! but also just looking forward to some down time; i feel like i've just been running around all week. how are you?

i was actually thinking about making a little bat signal 🩷 anon post yesterday, because apple music replay is out for the month of january, and look at who made it into my top artists?

i flew into san jose! my aunt lives about 45 minutes away from san jose :) it was a very quick visit! i'm really excited for spring too, even though that's when prime allergy season is for me — although the allergy shots i've been getting should help with that (in theory). do you have a favorite season? mine is 50-50 between spring and summer!

you don't need to feel guilty about talking to me about taylor, you're always welcome to talk to me about whatever you want — if i don't want to talk about something i'll tell you, i promise! 🤍 i have no interest in doing a public autopsy on her personal life (especially with "blaming joe" or whatever people seem to be doing, or talking about travis kelce at length) but aside from that i'm happy to keep chatting about her music — which is what we've been doing, so all good!! <33

i'm super curious now, what your least favorite taylor songs are. if you have any that jump to mind! and i don't mean songs that you skip because they're sad or whatever, but ones that you really just ... do not like! or wait, you know what would be fun? if you sent me your absolute favorite + least favorite from each album and i had to guess which one was what.

which comments from her time article bothered you? it's been a while since i read it so you might have to jog my memory a little! i am also quite worried about this album :/ i just ... don't really know what to expect, and i think people will be even more invasive and weird about taylor swift, which i'm very much dreading haha. she's been seeping into every work conversation i have which is also kind of annoying but that's fine.

do we think she'll announce another variant/bonus track in sydney? one of my best friends is on her way to sydney right now for the concert and i'm so so excited for her! i helped her get her tickets (she lives in australia) and i'm going to try to wake up at 3 am for her surprise songs 😭 if i didn't have work tomorrow i'd try to pull an all nighter and watch the entire concert but alas...

bleachers is coming to seattle for a music festival after all! so now i'm trying to decide if i want to get tickets for that or save my money. ugh. so many things! i just bought concert tickets yesterday and if all goes well i'm buying other concert tickets today haha. maybe we'll see how much i like the new album before i decide!

i justttt watched the wicked trailer and i ... am not particularly charmed or enthused by it. but the wicked tour is coming to seattle this fall, so i'm going to try to see it at least once! i think i'm actually going to do a 5 (?) show subscription for paramount — back to the future (my friend wants to see that one), wicked, mamma mia (my mom wants to see it), and then probably six and &juliet — might take my "little sister" to one of those! i saw some clips of aaron in sweeney but i'm not super familiar with sweeney so i didn't pass too much judgment! but the connections category was SO fun! i got it right away! i haven't been playing connections/wordle as much lately but randomly opened it yesterday and it felt like fate haha. might try to see company when it's here this summer too!!!

if i had to guess ... i think "i love you it's ruining my life" is in but daddy, i love him and "you don't get to tell me about sad" is in i can do it with a broken heart but i have no idea! curious to see what surprise songs are tonight, and if she'll do another mashup! my best friend really wants change on the guitar, so that's what i'm manifesting!

[personalized-chaos]

omg!! i love ur art sm if u want a request it'd be really cool if u could do the fab four (or any characters really) as tim burton characters??? like if u had a ship u could do corpse bride vibes?? i hope this makes sense

Aaaa thank you!! And thank you for this suggestion too, it's awesome! The only issue is I've actually never seen any other Tim Burton movies other than Nightmare before Christmas and part of Edward Scissorhands so here is Party cosplaying him ig (aka pretty much just Edward with red hair, tan line and sluttier pants XD) 'cause the costume is sick.

ID: Digital drawing of Party Poison dressed as Edward Scissorhands, they are wearing black clothes with many belts especially across the chest, gloves with pointy metal fingers similar to rather knives than scissors, their bright red hair is very messy and has a lot of volume and they are wearing black lipstick and eyeshadow and have few scars painted on their face. The background is yellow with white and black dots and scratch marks. /End ID

Something Failing

TTOS version of Act 2 ending from ISAT

Isabeau: HEAD HOUSEMAIDEN!!!

King: Isabeau!

(Oh!)

Mirabelle: Sure is him! Safe and sound!

Odile: So tall.... I didn't think I'd see a second person taller than you today, Mirabelle.

Bonnie: And a second person with such pretty hair.

Isabeau: Head Housemaiden.... You're okay, after all this.... Isabeau: I-The House, and when-The Scary Lady--

King: Isabeau. Dear. King: I'm so proud of you! Look at you! You're the savior of Vaugarde!! King: You saved the House, and the whole country of Vaugarde. We owe you a great debt. King: All of you.

(You jump slightly.)

Bonnie: Oh!

Mirabelle: Haha, it was an honor!

Odile: Whuh- I- I mean, of course. Yes.

Isabeau: Hehe!

King: I should have anticipated her being this strong.... King: But when she attacked the House, I was unprepared. Everyone was counting one me, but at that point it was too late. King: Hearing that our young Isabeau, who only just started his Change journey before this, was the one to save all of Vaugarde... You look so much more confident, now. King: I'm so glad I managed to give you some power before The Curse took over me!

Isabeau: Uh, yeah, about that.... Head Housemaiden, everyone thinks I was blessed by the Change God.

King: Oh! But why would they?....

Isabeau: It started as a rumor, and then it kinda got out of hand, and I decided it would be better to not say anything....

King: Ah, but isn't it a bit silly to think that? King: Everyone knows that the Change God is a lazy deity!

Bonnie: Wow, and from the Head Housemaiden himself...

Odile: Wait, isn't that sacrilege or something?....

King: Haha! But it is true!

Isabeau: ...

King: Oh, Isabeau... Perhaps you thought people thinking that Change God blessed you would give them more hope?

Isabeau: Yeah, something like that.... I'm sorry.

King: I don't blame you, Isabeau. You acted in a way you thought was right. King: I knew I was right to bless you!

Isabeau: But... Why me?

King: Oh, Isabeau.... King: Well.... I could only pass my blessing to one person, and I was already pretty much gone, and you were almost out of the House when the Scary Lady got to me.... King: So you were the only logical choice, really.

Mirabelle: WHAT????

Isabeau: ...

King: And, Housemaiden Isabeau... King: Despite you just starting out as a Housemaiden, you were the most hardworking one I've ever seen. Always striving to learn new things, and to Change yourself in the process. King: Not being afraid to challenge yourself, even if you weren't sure you would succeed. King: You were the only logical choice, yes, but you also were the only RIGHT choice.

Isabeau: Head Housemaiden... Isabeau: No, King....Thank you!

King: Hah.

(King offers his fist, and Isabeau bumps it afer a short delay.)

Isabeau: Yeaaaah!!!

King: Hah! King: You are strong, Isabeau. Just as I remember. King: And you, Isabeau's companions... Thank you for helping him get this far. King: You have my gratitude, and the entire country of Vaugarde's!...

Odile: Heh.

Mirabelle: Glad to be of service again, King!

Bonnie: Don't mention it.

(You hide your face with the rim of your cloak.)

King: Hohoho! King: ....Soon, you will be able to go to your regular lives. Away from battle and strife. King: Finally, you'll all be able to go home! King: If this House can help you with anything... don't hesitate to ask. King: But for now..... Bask in the feeling of a job well done.

(...)

(You managed to defeat the Scary Lady, and brought peace back to Vaugarde...)

(...)

(...Before your journey ends, you should talk with everyone!)

<Talking with Bonnie>

Bonnie: ...

Loop: "..."

Bonnie: ...Oh, do you want me to start? Bonnie: We did it, Loop! Our journey is over now. Bonnie: ...meh. Bonnie: Looking back, this part was kinda...short, compared to our whole journey.

(...It was longer for you than for them, but it doesn't matter now.)

Bonnie: But we saved Vaugarde, Loop! That's something to brag about, right? Bonnie: I bet my sister will be impressed when I finally go back home. Bonnie: It was fun travelling with you, but i still need to take care after her. Or at least make sure she is OK. She is probably VERY confused right now, haha! Bonnie: Although, I might need to continue my travels after this...

Loop: (Oh, maybe they will tell you now!) "To find a birthday gift for her?"

Bonnie: What, did you think I would tell you now that our journey is over? Bonnie: I think it would be funnier if you guessed more.

Loop: "Boo...."

Bonnie: Hehehe. Bonnie: I'll miss you, Loop. Including your jokes. Bonnie: Even though I never knew too much about you, I know you are a good person. And that is what matters, right? But you shouldn't hide from us this much, okay? We'd love to listen to your problems! Bonnie: You can also visit me at Bambouche! You'll get to see my kick-crab sister!

(Oh!)

(Bonnie smiles at you joyfully.)

(You smile back with your eyes.)

(...)

<Checking again...>

Bonnie: .....

(Bonnie is mumbling something to themselves.)

Bonnie: ....where will she go now?... Bonnie: ...!

(Bonnie notices you and flashes you a smile.)

(You smile back with your eyes.)

<Talking with Odile>

Odile: ...

Loop: "Is everything okay?..."

Odile: !

(Odile quickly turns to you.)

Odile: Oh. Odile: Yeah, it's just.... It's really over, right?

Loop: "Yeah, it's over!"

Odile: Ok. Odile: .... Odile: That was... a journey for sure. Odile: I feel like I aged 10 years. Odile: At least I will be able to get back to my usual travels.

(You've always wondered....)

Loop: "What's the goal of your travels, actually?"

Odile: Heh. Odile: Sightseeing.

(Odile snickers a bit.)

(Not suspicious at all.)

Odile: Just want to look at this country for a bit more. When it isn't...you know. Odile: Might actually come back to Ka Bue after this.... Odile: ....

(Odile diverts her gaze, as if saddened by something, but then notices you're looking directly at her.)

Odile: And don't look at me like that! I'm not ten, I can travel alone!!! Odile: Just leave already. This "talking" thing tires me out.

(You shrug and go, but not before giving her a warm look.)

<Checking again....>

(Odile is writing something in her book.)

(She notices you but doesn't say anything, only smiling smugly.)

<Talking to Isabeau>

Isabeau: Loop!

Loop: "Isa!"

Isabeau: We did it, Loop! Isabeau: I-I almost couldn't believe it!! Isabeau: It's like.... When you prepare for something, but you do it too much so when the thing happens you're still caught off guard! Isabeau: And it was so sudden, too! I didn't actually expect that attack to work this well!!! Isabeau: And now it's over! And everything is fine! And-- And--

(Isabeau tries to catch his breath, but is evidently failing due to emotion.)

Loop: "Isa." Loop: "Like this...."

(You take a deep breath, in and out.)

(Isabeau follows suit, irregularly at first, then calmer, and calmer, until....)

Isabeau: Ha.... Isabeau: .... Isabeau: Hehehe.....

(?)

Isabeau: Oh, no, it's just.... Isabeau: You can be so nice sometimes, Loop.

(!!!)

(Fortunately, your hood hides your warm cheeks.)

Isabeau: Oh! Your eyes are sparkling!

(OOPS.)

Isabeau: You know.... We haven't known eachother for that long... Isabeau: But I want you to know that I treasure your company! I really really do!! Isabeau: And so... Thank you! Thank you for accompanying me on this journey!

(If you could, you would smile so hard your cheeks would hurt.)

(You can't say anything, you're so happy.)

Isabeau: ...I'm sure you're excited to go back to travelling on your own... Isabeau: But don't forget me, okay? Isabeau: Come see me in Dormon anytime! I'd love to hang out! Isabeau: You might even see me Change bit by bit! Isabeau: ....Will you come?

(You will.)

Loop: "I will."

(There is no questioning that.)

<Checking again....>

(Isabeau gives you a big thumbs up and smiles.)

(You smile back with your eyes.)

<Talking with Mirabelle>

Mirabelle: Loopie!!!

Mirabelle: We won, Loopie! We truly did! We defeated the Scary Lady! We can finally go back to our normal lives!! Isn't it nice?

Loop: "It is!!!"

Mirabelle: Yeah!!! Mirabelle: Although, I think I will stay here for a bit before going on my journey again. Mirabelle: Need to check up on how my peers have been and all that. Mirabelle: And I want to meet some of the new Housemaidens as well! The new ones are always so cute, teehee! Mirabelle: ....So. Uh. Remember what I told you? At the Clocktower?

(That's right!!!)

(She wanted to tell you something after you beat the Scary Lady, didn't she....)

Loop: (...) "You wanted to tell me something?"

Mirabelle: Right I wanted to tell you something! But.... Mirabelle: Before I tell you, I need to give you something first.

(Mirabelle reaches into her pocket...)

Mirabelle: I.... Mirabelle: ....

Mirabelle: ....hm.... Mirabelle: ......where are the--

Bonnie: HEY, FOLKS, WE MIGHT WANNA GET GOING!!!

Bonnie: We still need to eat!!! And to rest!! No one goes anywhere until we do that!

Mirabelle: ....

(Mirabelle breathes out in a slightly frustrated way.)

Mirabelle: I must have left it in the Clocktower. Mirabelle: Oh well! Guess that is for later. Mirabelle: Bonbon is right, to be honest. I'm SUPER hungry.

(....)

(She didn't get to say what she wanted....)

Mirabelle: Awww, don't worry! I'll give you the thing when we return to the tower! Mirabelle: ....Ah, Loopie, I'm glad this is over! Mirabelle: But.... I'll miss you. I hope we get to meet eachother again. Mirabelle: Maybe we will both visit here! Or in Bambouche! Or will just cross paths by accident! Wouldn't that be nice?

Loop: "It very much would."

Mirabelle: Hehe!

<Checking again...>

Mirabelle: ...ruined the moment ugh.....

(She smiles at you gently when she notices that you are looking.)

<Talking to King>

King: The Traveller! King: Have you done talking to your companions? Yes? Good, good. King: Thank you for helping Isabeau all the way to the beautiful end. King: Loop, correct? If there is anything I can do to thank you, don't hesitate to ask! You have my eternal gratitude, after all. King: I know you will go back on your travels soon, but I do hope you will keep in touch, if only for young Isabeau... King: But no matter what, this House and Dormont always have their doors open to you! Please come back...any...time....

King: ...!!!!!!

King: Ohhhh.... No, it can't be!

Loop: "...?"

King: Oh... Loop.... King: I am so sorry! We can't prevent it anymore...! King: I'm sorry! You will be going back! Back when everything started!

(!!!!)

(The air around you almost thickens...)

(You feel burnt sugar in the back of your throat.)

Loop: "What? Why? What is happening?!?"

King: I know you thought you adventure was over, but it can't end!! King: Something is broken, something is failing, rotting!!! King: I wish I could fix it on my own, but.... it's already too late. King: I wish I could've seen it, prevented it! Ohhhh, ohhh, it is time, savior!

(You feel a tug on your stomach)

King: It's my fault alone that you have to suffer like this. King: I just hope that one day... King: You might learn to forgive$%^&*(!

<YOU FEEL A TUG ON YOUR STOMACH>

Harry groaned as he shifted the gear in place. It was a muggy day on the isle of the lost, and Harry was, unfortunately, working on the ship doing repairs.

And it was hot as Hades ass.

Harry hated working on the rutter chain, it was always oily as fuck, and heavy as fuck, and it broke more times than he could count.

No wonder his dad just left it as a prize instead of selling it, it was a big ass pile of trash that needed a lot more than the isle could give it.

But it was Uma's treasured ship so he would take care of it when he was ordered to.

He sighed as he finally connected the final chain on the main gear, leaning back and wiping his forearm on his head. “fuuuck” he sighed, looking down at his hands and pants, that were covered in slick black oil. “this shit is never comin’ off”

“wow” Harry raised his brow and turned, smirking as he spotted you, staring wide-eyed at him. “um-“ you squeaked, turning dark as Harry chuckled at you and turned to face you.

“like what yeh see?” Harry purred, flexing a bit at you. You just stared at him, the oil dripping down his forearm to his bicep, and sweat glistening on his collarbone and soaking through his top, making it see-through and revealing his pecs and abbs.

“i-um-I” you stuttered, clutching the cold wet towel you had to your chest, feeling heat build-up in your face and reach your ears. “I-“

Harry's smug smirk softened into a fond smile, and he let out a soft snort, walking towards you and pressing a kiss to the top of your head “always nice ya know my bonnie lass finds me attractive”

“ha-have you seen yourself?” you pouted, pressing the cooling towel to his neck, which he jumped at before relaxing into it, a purr like sound erupting from him “it's hard NOT to find you attractive” you continued, reaching into your bag and pulling out a cold waterbottle.

“mmm thank yeh love” he muttered, cracking open a bright ocean blue eye and grabbing the bottle, fingers brushing against yours. “dunno what id do without yeh~”

“jump off a roof because Jonas dared you?” you snorted,  looking over Harry's shoulder and nodding, seeing the rutter chain that connected to the ship's main wheel fixed “come on, lunch is ready.”

“yeh mean yeh aren’t meh lunch?” Harry purred, giggling as your face turned even darker.

You sputtered, smacking his hard torso “god you have no filter do you!?” “nope” he snickered, following you out of the mechanics and up to the main deck. “especially ‘round yeh~”

“harry stop flirting with (y/n) and get cho food!” Bonnie taunted, running off the deck and towards Ursuals chip shop.

Harry glared at her receding form, tossing his arm over your shoulder, and kissing your cheek “imma get changed real quick then ill be over there ‘right after’ kay?”

“kay” you laughed, pushing his face away and following after bonnie, waving to Harry as you ran out of his sight.

Harry sighed wistfully, a dreamy smile on his lips “how’d I score a bonnie lass like ‘er”

He went to his room and took a quick shower and changed into a plain black t-shirt that he bleached to make it unique a couple of months back, ripped black pants, and his usual boots. He shrugged on his jacket and sighed, slicking his still wet hair back and walking out of his room and off the ship, making his way to the chip shop.

He slid through the salon-style doors and made his way to the main table the crew sat at. He pushed gonzo aside and hopped onto the table, jumping off and landing next to you, who rolled your eyes.

“ya know there is such a thing as walking around the table?” you pointed out, scrunching your nose as harry leaned in close and stole one of your fires.

“but that’s borin’ love~” he teased,  sitting on the stool next to you and tossing his arm around you, continuing to attempt to steal your food.

“Harry!” you whined, smacking his hands away “my food!”

“and Im hungry” he mocked your whine, giggling as you turned and started smacking his shoulders like a cat.

“Harry stop teasing her, here's your damn food” Uma tugged your hands away from Harry and tossed a tray in front of Harry, who gave Uma a little nod and started scarfing down his food.

You gave Harry a quick final slap and went back to your food, snickering as Harry stared at you with wide eyes, as if you had insulted his mother.

“you guys are adorable” Desiree and Bonnie giggled, cackling as Harry sat up straight suddenly and stared at them with wide eyes.

You snorted and rolled your eyes, grabbing Harry's shoulder and forcing him back down in his chair “Harry we’re kinda fuckin obvious”

Harry stopped, staring at you for a moment before, shrugging “aye we kinda are” he chuckled, stopping for a moment before a trouble-making smile grew on his face.

Harry quickly grabbed your hand and pressed his lips to your hand, peppering his lips on your knuckles and fingers. Your face turned dark and you ripped your hand away, squeaking at Harry with unintelligible words.

The crew burst out into laughter at your embarrassment and you pouted at them, deciding to bury your face in Harry's side to avoid them.

“awwww” Harry cooed, rubbing your back “im sorry love, I dinne’ mean ta embarrass yeh”

“yes you did” you muttered, looking up at him with glassy eyes. Harry's breath hitched, and he shook his head a bit.

“Yeh are jus’ too cute” he muttered, holding you closer into his side.

“wait you were trying to hide it?” Bonnie asked, her eyes wide before she burst into laughter “if you two were trying to hide your relationship then you failed big time!”

Harry rolled his eyes, finishing off his tray and glancing at yours, noticing you were also finished and placed his try on yours and pushing them into the middle of the table.

“while yeh all obsess over us, I’ll be taking the bonnie lass here ta go do meh chores with meh and be fabulous, good day” he picked you up by your thighs and carried you off, snickering as you let out a loud squeak.

You hurriedly wrapped your arms and legs around him, pressing your blushing face into the crook of Harry's neck. “you are sooo extra” you whined, voice muffled by his shirt and shoulder.

“but im your extra ass boyfriend,” Harry chuckled, thumb brushing against your thigh.

“can't deny that” you laughed, leaning back in his arms and forcing one of his hands to your butt and the other around your waist.

“lass oof” you giggled, leaning back even further, making him stop in place and wrap both of his hands around your waist, pulling you back into his chest “don’t test me”

You just grinned, leaning forward a bit and then letting your weight fall back completely, making Harry yelp as he struggled to hold you.

“(y/n) stop!” Harry growled, hiking you up on his hips and glaring at you.

“mmm” you hummed, a shit-eating grin growing on your face “nah~” you attempted to lean back again but Harry lifted you up and tossed you over his shoulder, rerouting to the ship.

“that’s it!” ignoring your protests of confusion, he kicked open his room door and tossed you on the bed, slamming the door behind him and smirking at your blushing face “time ta teach yeh not to test meh~”

“oh,” you squeaked.

-

Uma wasn’t happy with Harry when she learned he skipped out on his chores to do whatever he was doing with you.

And que the crew teasing you over your bruised hips.
