I sat down and noted everything that I've posted to A03 and not here and it's quite a bit so I'm thinking tomorrow I may start slowly cross-posting here.
I've been absent from here for aaaages so I'll forgo the tags for now cause I'm so painfully aware of how long it's been (oh god two years) but if you're reading this and wanna be tagged feel free to comment and let me know! It's masses of McCoy, a sprinkling of Kirk, and some Kennex as well.
McCoy really got the lions share.
I figure I'll finish The Arrangement first (four parts to post) and go from there, but I'm wildly tempted to post my current favourite here tonight. Maybe I'll crumble and post it soon, maybe I'll fall asleep immediately after some Stardew. Who knows? Not me.
#I rambled a bit here but you should see what i deleted#rambled so hard there#it's hard coming back after such a long absence#life just kept happening#anyway#leonard mccoy x reader#jim kirk x reader#john kennex x reader#star trek fanfiction#almost human fanfiction#idk how the fuck I'm gonna go about posting Ways That He Kisses You here#keep it as a series? likely#they're all one shots but doing it separately would make the master list huge#this is a problem for Future Aria

How did Roberto, Selena, and (I forgot the bull shark's name, oops) meet? Did one pull the other two or did they all pull one another, or something like that? Also I love Selena's design, the jacket is very slay <3 :D
Their relationship is something that I am still slowly developing and making small adjustments to.
I still don't know when and how things happened, but Roberto first met Selena at a time when he was looking for someone like him to connect with, since there weren't many families of hammerhead sharks in the Reeftown.
But then, after a very delicate moment in Selena's life that left her deeply sad, Roberto found himself forced to distance himself because he didn't know how to deal with and support her, partly because of a particular problem of Roberto's that he hasn't yet explained. (I should explain this in the future, it's related to an interesting ability that the Ampoules of Lorenzini give him, which he doesn't yet understand). And also that here he is still learning about empathy.
Some time later, Roberto met Paolo after protecting him from bullying. At this time Roberto was more self-confident, so he didn't limit himself to just looking for others of his own species and this encouraged him to get closer to Paolo.
It was going well, but once again, Paolo began to suffer from things related to his past that Roberto didn't know how to deal with and, to avoid further frustration for both of them, he distanced himself. In both cases, Roberto distanced himself at times when Selena and Paolo needed him the most, which is quite painful.
Time will pass and Roberto is almost giving up on seeking new relationships and living alone, blaming himself for his mysterious ability that for him is a curse, but it is something special that he will still understand.
He even tried a long-distance relationship on the 'Oceanet', but Roberto is not very good with computers and so he gave up. It is at this time that he meets Tiago and Aria and the interest in creating a band is a distraction for his head. And it is in music that he also expresses his frustrations on this topic.
Until the moment when Selena and Paolo, still having feelings for Roberto, got together to try to understand his reactions and when they found out, they were understanding. But Selena and Paolo ended up getting closer to each other and when it came time to talk to Roberto about it, they were both happy to be by his side, so in the end the three of them ended up together and happy!
I imagine that Roberto is needy, probably because his parents didn't pay attention to him at some crucial stage in his childhood, or he just likes to always be in the company of others. I'm not sure.
Sorry for writing so much! At least this helps me understand storytelling better. All of this is an insight from an asexual person who has never dated in my life, so creating characters that relate to each other is a big challenge for me hehe I would be happy with suggestions!
I hope I'm doing something convincing and fun in addition to talking about interesting topics. My goal is to create shark characters that are deep and memorable, something that practically doesn't exist anywhere, I think.

𝐒𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐎𝐖 + 𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐒 : 𝐏𝐈𝐋𝐎𝐓
𝐒𝐘𝐍𝐎𝐏𝐒𝐈𝐒: When the first division of TOMAN, Keisuke Baji, passes away, the Commander, Manjiro Sano, take his younger sister, Y/N Baji, in and soon forms a gang in their mid 20s. Now being the leaders of the criminal organization BONTEN and entering the gang scene with a federal bounty on her head, what if love with her No. 2 and a bit of the past resurfaces?? What if there was a little sorrow and betrayal?? Some gang shit in the mix too!?
𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒: various substances (vapes, weeds, cigarettes, pills, ect.), curse words, mentions of sex work if you squint
“Sanzu, Y/N, respectfully, please calm down on the amount of drugs.” Kakucho said, sitting across from Sanzu. Stubbly looking over to Mikey at the right of him — strangely attending the meeting at the head of the table — asking for approval to question such big figures in the way he did.
TO KEEP READING, YOU UNDERSTAND THE CONTENT WARNING MENTIONED ON THE TOP OF THE SCREEN ARE PRESENT IN THIS POST AND FUTURE EPISODES.
Y/N sent a sharp glare towards despite being on the other head, about a metre away from the number 3. Sanzu gave a cheeky smile that people would relate to the Cheshire cat. His pearly whites showed while Y/N rolled her eyes at the boy’s antics.
“I’ll only stop if I bring Mikey and the princess an issue. I do think Y/N should stop. She’ll age really badly!” He responded to Kakucho while a bit of fake sympathy laced his voice.
“I’ve bought enough for Y/n to not age badly. Great retinols and I’ve even showed her some botox places that were rated well. She gave me the same little pretty glare she’s giving you now.” Ran pitched into the conversation.
“Shut the fuck up Ran no one cares about you and your issues about being an old hag.” Sanzu bites the 31 year old to his side, the banter flowing freely among the trio.
“For once I believe I have to agree with the dunce.” Rindou reluctantly admitted.
“I think we should get back to the main problem right now.” Kokonoi started, “We need to start making connections with different gangs at the moment and we also need to work on our financial issue which is being affected with the substance use from all of you.”
“I don’t do drugs!” Mucho stated in defence of his use.
“You dumbfuck! Substances aren’t just drugs. I’m saying those shitty cigarettes you smoke, the vapes that teens these days use, to edibles or drugs that Y/N and Sanzu are using. They’re all substances and FUCK WE SPEND TO MUCH ON THAT SHIT!” Kokonoi explained with frustration.
“So, all you want is for me to stop using drugs? Well then, I’m out of this then. Mikey, Kakucho, Kokonoi, and Takeomi. Make an event sending regards and invite the top 15 gangs to an event at one of the Haitani's clubs. Ran and Rindou, you guys can decide a club you’re fine with being used.” Y/n ordered.
With a click-clack of her MIU MIU heels, Y/N pushed her chair back and walked out of the room. The sound of her footsteps echoed through the room as Mikey watched her leave. As a small grin decorated his face, entertained by the events. A quiet chuckle left Sanzu’s mouth with the same idea.
✈︎ ˖°ʚ 🐈 ɞ·˚ ✩
"You guys know the BONTEN event, right??" Kimiko sat with her legs crossed on top of a table.
"Yeah. One of my workers told me when their number 2 was high." Shu replied taking another hit of his blunt.
"OMG DON'T TELL ME YOU GOT US AN INVITE? KIMI!" Aria squealed with excitement while shaking Kimiko's shoulders rapidly.
"Yes, yes, yes. I was able to get myself on the list and asked the man if I could bring you. I also said that I could provide smokes and shit so Shu, you need to be there with something for about 150 people." Y/n rambled. "Aria, keep on the low though. You're not a present figure."
"Yes ma'am!!" Aria chorused.
Kimiko shot her an annoyed look but secretly felt a sense of happiness.
"What's the deal. Why would they hold an event?" Shu interrogated.
Kimiko didn't know but she had one thing on her mind. Build connections with the gang. The others in the room had a similar idea as well but they'd never admit that. As the leader, she needed to step up.
"BONTEN is uptight so I doubt they'd let anyone know but I'm thinking it's about business."
She glanced over to Shu and he cracked a grin to her gaze.
"Let's take this opportunity to talk to them privately and introduce them to us. Aria, you step down on this one. Me and Shu will do the talking, don't expect this to be free time though. Make sure you study the other people at the event."
Aria nods. Shu focuses.
'Y/N should be wary of who she messes with.' Kimiko thought.
✈︎ ˖°ʚ 🐈 ɞ·˚ ✩
“Hey, Kakucho. Who told that one bitch about our event?” Mochizuki asked him at the VIP section of the bar as they just finished the final few touches of the event.
Kakucho and Kokonoi got confused about what he was talking about. The 2 walked over to try and look at the phone he was holding and Y/N just took a glance from her side across the room.
“I told them.” Y/N said.
“Wasn’t it supposed to be underground?” Kakucho asked, “It kinda makes us look desperate…you know?”
Mochizuki looked at the phone in confusion as everyone was on the same page of this being laid-back and secretly trying to find someone to ally with. Nothing too public. That was indeed not the case though and Y/N had other plans that differed with the group.
“It’s just for a bit of excitement. We haven’t said shit or made any moves in a while. Keeps the people thinking and people might less pussy and actually talk to us.” Y/N explained.
The time had now been 10:45 and the rest of the members were doing their own thing while Mikey looked at you with his cold eyes. He was curious about the way you stood silent and looked at the ground instead of scrolling on your phone as usual.
The B2 tweet really got the people going insane and some envied the groups and those who had come out saying they were going. Your ego was as big as a pool but your cold demeanour covered it up. He thought you’d look at them as a laugh.
“Y/N. Let’s talk outside.” Mikey asked.
✈︎ ˖°ʚ 🐈 ɞ·˚ ✩
“LET’S GET THIS PARTY STARTEDDDD!!!!” Sanzu barged in holding a bottle of beer in front of the crowd of gang members who had arrived.
The crowd went insane after seeing the bubblegum crackhead’s words. Rindou was playing DJ that night and the EDM was echoing throughout the speakers set around the building. Girls were sitting on the speakers still looking pretty to attract the gangs and get them to feel themselves.
Mikey watched everyone from the VIP room. The security cameras had 8k quality. The average company could only wish to own the amount of cameras they have. He thought back to the conversation he had with Y/N. Something she had known.
“You have some plan. Something smartass type shit.” Mikey confronted her softly so she wouldn’t feel as if he was enraged.
“Mhm. Wanna know or something?” Y/n questioned back.
Now Mikey was faced with a sense of curiosity. He had trusted Y/N because it was mutual. She’d put her life for him and he’d do the same but they knew they’d never be in that situation. Y/N was smarts enough to cover for both of their hellish lives. Despite this, in that moment that was something that he wanted to question her on.
What Mikey didn’t realise is that Y/N knew his every expression. Even his pitch black eyes that held no emotions was something that didn’t stop her from figuring out how he really felt. His eyes staring into the ground was enough to tell her he was pondering about asking.
“I’m thinking of making small changes so we can catch these big gangs hitting their most vulnerable moments. More girls around to see how they respect women, seeing how they react under the influence of alcohol. It’s small things that set it up.” Y/n clarified.
What she said really had made a difference in how the delinquents around the club and bar were acting. Some were straight hooligans and some had acted like how old friends of his probably would’ve if they still were here.
As Mikey was attentively watching the cameras he soon realised all the members had left the room, he decided to walk out himself and become a little more social.
✈︎ ˖°ʚ 🐈 ɞ·˚ ✩
“I guess we have a lot more in common than I thought. Shu Yamaha, correct?” Kokonoi clarified to the man in front of him.
‘Insanely famous for exporting drugs across Hiroshima to Akita. We could use that. His brother’s motor company could be useful but I doubt he still talks to them when he’s doing shit like this.’ Kokonoi thought
“Yes Mr. Kokonoi. I’m glad I was able to talk business with someone in this industry. No one seems to think about the future in our work. All they do is think about throwing fists and updating their body count just to go home and hook up with someone they barely know!” Shu chats to the executive.
“Agreed. You can never know about what comes next but it’s still vital to stick to the present. Time is of the essence, am I right? Most of the people tonight are on wanted lists. Especially BONTEN. The moment this doesn’t work out we won’t be able to get proper jobs without people fearing our past.”
“Of course. I think I’ll be taking my leave.” Shu said
Shu walke away but before he could go too far, Kokonoi walked over behind him and tapped his shoulder.
“Do you mind if I got a business card?”

Manhwa characters X Henry VIII and the six wives crossover.
of course this isn't going to line up with the real history, they'll simply be put into the roles they suit best and alternations will be made based on source material and their personalities
Henry VIII-Ceasre de como
He was never meant to inherit the throne until his brother unexpectedly passed away. The infamous bastard son who was the true cause of prince Alfonsos death believed to be a tragic result of illness. He framed the crime of poisoning the king on his mistress Ariande de mare and marries his late brothers widow as his first wife Isabella de Mare who has only been able to have one child: a girl, Princess Giovanna. Over the course of his life, King Ceasre marries a total of 6 different women and has only had 3 legitimate heirs throughout his life. During his reign, he ignited the fear and hatred of his people through execution after execution, some of the most infamous being 2 of his 6 wives. It was said that on his death bed, all the women he betrayed had haunted him, with the ringleader being his first love, Ariande de Mare
Catherine of Aragon-Isabella de Mare
Ceasres first wife, Ariandes sister and widow to prince Alfonso. After marrying for a second time small problems erupt from the queen being known as "tainted" for being another kings wife. To mediate the anger, Isabella starts to take religion even more seriously then she did in the past making herself out as a saint who redeemed herself of her sins, the public is unaware she cares very little for the death of her sister. The queen is aware of her husband's concubines and doesn't mind as she knows he would grow bored of her... until Ceasre finds a woman he can't yet have.. so she schemes to stay on the throne. She didn't help orchestrate her sisters death just so Ceasre can go as far as to violate parliament to marry another woman.
She is not remembered so fondly though after her death.
Anne Boleyn- Aria Roscent:
a common woman adopted into the house of Roscent, despite that fact she has become the talk of the town for her beauty and sharp tongue. Aria was planning on marrying her true love Oscar Frederick until she met the king who wanted her as his mistress more than anything, she tried to turn him down the best she could without facing execution, ultimately coming up with a excuse that she'd only be with Ceasre if she became the queen. To which Ceasre happily does much to the anger of queen Isabella who never would've have guessed it would be a random noblewoman instead of Ceasres favorites. Isabella fights back with the pope on her side using the argument the remarriage is reserved only those who have been widowed, this proves to be Isabellas undoing however when Ceasre shoots back with the revelation that the queen had killed her little sister years back and she would do the same to Princess Giovanna if she stayed. The divorce also leads to Ceasre founding his own church and new rules of religion so no pesky pope will stop him in the future, he marries Aria for only 3 years, during those 3 years Aria gave birth to a girl and named her Arabella to spite the former queen but her happiness is shortlived once Ceasre gets tired of her and executes her on crimes of witchcraft and attempted poisoning of his sister in law, Mielle.
Jane Seymour-Jennette Margarita
The 3rd wife Ceasre married quickly after the execution of Queen Aria. Despite her gentle care and kind attitude, the populace despised Jennette for replacing Aria as queen. Jennette is more obedient than the last two queens, going by a motto of "bound to obey and serve." So it's not surprise that Ceasre chose her to be the lucky wife to bear San Carlos desired prince. The relationship with her step-sisters isn't great either. Giovanna wants nothing to do with anymore step-moms after what happened to her mother and Arabella is still too young to even comprehend what happend to her own mother, leaving Jennette alone with the hope of her unborn child being a boy that could save her from execution. Much to Ceasres joy, Jennette does give birth to a prince Leo, but unfortunately the 3rd queen passes away just 11 days later from child bed fever.
Anne of Cleves-Adelaide Kotrov
A foreign princess from a neighboring kingdom. With a male heir finally secured, Ceasre is encouraged to marry for a political alliance, most princesses reject the offer after knowing what happened to Queen Aria but with the forceful hand of her mother, Adelaide of Kotrov is sent to become Ceasres 4th wife. The introduction doesn't go as well as planned, with Adelaide being visibly uncomfortable and annoyed with her husband's attitude. Since Ceasre can't execute a foreign noble, he never consummated the marriage and divorced Adelaide in only 6 months. Instead of becoming enemies though, Adelaide and Ceasre managed to get along just enough during those 6 months to be considered friends and Adelaide stayed in San Carlo with the reputation of the kings beloved sister. She lives her days with her lover Lionel as her true love and becomes the richest woman in all of San Carlo after Ceasre dies.
Catherine Howard- Rashta Ishka.
Ceasres 5th and youngest wife. A former slave who was saved by another Emperor and worked as a secretary for the Empress Navier. Rashta was never given a proper education so when the work turned out to be more than she could chew, Ceasre took the opportunity to take her with him to enjoy the luxuries of regal life and gave Rashta a title of Viscountess so the nobles of San Carlo wouldn't learn of her true origins. By the time they got married Ceasre was already considerably aged, his daughters have grown and Prince Leo had been getting smarter by the day. Giovanna treated her step-mom with indifference but Arabella and Leo took to their new mother well, giving Rashta a chance to heal from past traumas but her attitude can make it difficult at times as she holds grudges and doesnt easily let things go. Problems would inevitably arise , with unchecked trauma of her past, Ceasre only wanting a spare from her, pushing everyone else that could help her away, yet with her desire to feel seen at the same time. The queen gets coerced and manipulated by another man: Duke Ergi and he takes the chance to screw her over once he got what he wanted from her. Rashta was only queen for a little over a year when she was discovered to have been assaulted by one of her masters leading to a pregnancy no one knew of, and a previous fling she had with Emperor Sovieshu, combined with the rumors that she had cheated on the king, Rashta is beheaded for her crimes. Before her execution she ran after Ceasre, pleading her innocence while being pulled away.
Catherine Parr-Claudine Von Brandt
Ceasres 6th and final wife. Claudine had initially been with a few other lovers but all have either died or left her before the marriages could even happen. When she is told that she has to marry the king, Claudine naturally freaks out knowing the fates of the previous 5 wives who got divorced at best and lost their heads at worst. She learns to live her life with her aging tyrannical husband and becomes a wonderful stepmother to the kids, even Giovanna was willing to give her a chance and accept Claudine as her stepmother and queen of San Carlo after Claudine convinced Ceasre to reinsert his daughtes back into succession. There were a few close calls but Claudine survived her marriage and outlived Ceasre, but only for a year longer...
Mary I-Princess Giovanna
(There's no cannon design for Giovanna yet so I used Athy as a substitute)
The first princess born of King Ceasre and Queen Isabella. Out of all her parents failed pregnancies, Giovanna survived as a healthy child despite being a girl. Her parents treated her well enough until her father had the hots for Aria and divorced her mother. Even after learning the truth, Giovanna still considered Isabella the rightful queen even if she was left with a permanent uneasiness of her mom. For most of her time as princess afterwords, Giovanna is demoted to a lady to make room for Arias baby but despite that, Giovanna is a good big sister and doesn't blame Arabella for her mother's fate especially after the second princess is demoted to lady after Aria is executed. After her father dies, Giovanna went through hell to ensure she'd remain a queen and bring back the influence of the pope even if it means the death of the cousin used as a political pawn and the execution of just under 300 people. She dies without an heir only 5 years later.
Elizabeth I- princess Arabella
Second princess and daughter of King Ceasre and Queen Aria. Poor Arabella was already made a bastard after her mother's execution and lived her life neglected by her father and raised by her older sister. She was named after the 1st queens youngest sister and it's often noted that the princess looks an awful lot like the girl she was named after, almost like she was the reincarnated soul of Arabella de Mare. Her family life is full of nothing but troubles, even after her tyrannical father dies, she's still left in the whims of her sister as their relationship deteriorates when they got older. For years princess Arabella dodged death at every corner until Queen Giovanna passed away, giving rise for the queen no one suspected, Arabella I. She becomes the virgin queen of San Carlo, ending her father's bloodline and granting the right of heir to a cousin when she passes away as the final monarch of the house of de Como.
Edward VI- Leo IV
(Again, Leo doesn't have a design since he's an OC so young Ceasre will be a substitute)
The long sought after male heir Ceasre had been waiting for and the son of Queen Jennette, he takes after his father in terms of appearance too! As such Leo was raised differently then his sisters and was pushed to the bone since he was the only shot they had for a future king of the de Como bloodline. When Leo became king at the young age of 9, he was easily influenced by the adults and advisors in his life to control the country how they wanted to. He's just a kid and already the people think he'll just turn out to be like his father. Despite how much he loves his sisters, they disagree on religion and in an attempt to keep Giovanna from bringing back influence of the pope, he selects a cousin as his heir just before he dies young, he can finally meet the mother he's never known...
Other characters below:
Prince Arthur- Alfonso de Carlo

Promptober 2024 Day 30- Fall Wedding (AU, Post-STEM)
Prompt: fall wedding
Warnings: none
“Sebastian?” Stefano calls.
The wooden steps creak under his feet. The venue is an elegant old place, but it’s easy to tell it was built at least a hundred years ago.
“Yeah, I’m here,” Sebastian calls back.
Stefano continues up the stairs and down the hall to their room, carefully turning the antique knob. The building is a lovely bed and breakfast in the country, and after touring the grounds Stefano was absolutely certain this was the place for their wedding, but the old architecture and fixtures have already caused a few problems.
Sebastian is standing in front of the mirror fumbling with his bow tie, and Stefano is taken aback by how good Sebastian looks in a simple black tuxedo and white dress shirt.
“Help,” Sebastian says, turning to Stefano with a pleading look.
Stefano smiles. He knows Sebastian is perfectly capable of tying a tie, but he’s happy to help. He crosses the floor, shoes sinking into the plush rug, and reaches for the ends of the tie.
“Isn’t it bad luck for you to see me on our wedding day?” Sebastian asks, and Stefano laughs.
“I think it will be alright,” he says, putting the finishing touches on Sebastian’s tie and stepping back. “And if I hadn’t come up I suspect you wouldn’t have been able to finish getting dressed.”
He takes Sebastian’s hands and leans in to press a kiss to Sebastian’s neck, breathing in the scent of his aftershave.
“You look absolutely dashing,” he says, and Sebastian blushes in response. “Are you nervous?”
“Is it that obvious?” Sebastian asks.
“Your hands are shaking,” Stefano observes, giving them a squeeze.
“It’s not you,” Sebastian says quickly. “I’m not even sure it’s me either. It’s just…when I married Myra…”
Sebastian looks at him as though asking permission to continue, and Stefano nods encouragingly. He’s never felt threatened by Sebastian’s memories of Myra.
“...it felt like such a huge life event,” Sebastian continues. “And I wanted to do it right, because at the time I just felt like it was something you only do once, you know?”
Stefano smiles. “I am sure it did. It is certainly something I only intend to do once, but we cannot know what the future holds, and we are not always in control of our fate.”
Sebastian nods. “I certainly couldn’t have predicted any of this.”
“For today though,” Stefano says, “we are here in this beautiful place, and all of our friends and family are here, and I want to celebrate us.”
He nods to the window, and they both look out onto the grounds, which are awash in fall color. He can see the decorative archway, framed by maple trees in vivid reds and oranges, and the seats where their guests are already starting to assemble.
“I do too,” Sebastian says, leaning in to kiss him.
“Are you going to be okay now?” Stefano asks when he steps back.
Sebastian smiles. “I was okay before. I just needed you to remind me.”
“That’s what I’m here for,” Stefano says. He glances at his watch. “We had better get downstairs. We’re due to start in five minutes.”
Sebastian takes one last look at himself in the full length mirror, takes a deep breath, and slips his hand into Stefano’s.
Stefano leads the way down the stairs, through the foyer, and out the back door to where everyone is assembling. He can see his breath in the air even though the afternoon sun is warming things up, and the leaves crunch under his feet.
Most of the guests are already seated in the rows of chairs lined up in front of the archway, but they’re immediately approached by Lily and Aria, who are wearing matching blue dresses. The color was Stefano’s idea, but it makes them stand out beautifully against the backdrop of red and orange.
Neither he nor Sebastian has living parents. In fact, neither one of them has very much family at all, so they’ve had to get a little creative with their wedding arrangements, but Stefano thinks they’ve managed to construct something that is at least in the spirit of a traditional wedding.
He looks down the aisle to see Joseph already standing beside the officiant.
He leans in to Sebastian and whispers, “I love you,” before he offers his arm to Aria and starts down the aisle, leaving Lily to tend to Sebastian.
The string quartet, which up until now has been playing some filler music, gets itself organized and the first strains of “Serenade for Strings in C Major” wash over them, taking Stefano momentarily back to another place, another time when he would never have imagined he would end up here. It’s fitting to hear this piece today, as he moves forward into his next great work with Sebastian.
His heart is pounding, but he takes care to keep his steps slow and measured as he makes his way down the aisle between the two rows of seats, Aria keeping pace with him. He can see out of the corner of his eye that she’s trying to keep her face appropriately solemn, but she’s having a hard time containing her smile, and Stefano is filled with warmth at being here, surrounded by family and friends and about to marry a truly incredible man.
When they reach the archway, Joseph gives him a nod, and Stefano and Aria take their places on the stage.
Then it’s time for Sebastian and Lily to walk down the aisle, and Stefano can’t help but smile at the image of sixteen-year-old Lily giving her father away. She’s absolutely beaming, and beside her Sebastian’s eyes are fixed on Stefano.
They make it to the stage and take their places with Sebastian opposite Stefano and the officiant between them. The music fades away as the man begins to speak, but Stefano only has eyes for Sebastian.
No matter what the future holds, he knows he can face it with Sebastian by his side.

The other Roscente girl
you're my best friend, I’ll love you forever.
For sake of inclusivity and proper self insertion, you’re an adopted sister. cw: Aria is a bit possessive.
You were brought into the home after your mother died, she was a common prostitute and an old friend of Aria's mother. Your father was a married nobleman so when she died, naturally, he didn't wish to risk the ire of his wife by bringing an illegitimate child into their home so he did not claim you. Although Carin had married into wealth and privilege, your mother had continued having to live the life she escaped. When she met you, you were on the streets wearing rags while she had been out shopping. Carin felt a little guilty over that and decided to ask permission to take you in as her ward.
Aria never knew her mother to be a philanthropist so she was surprised when her mother brought home a random orphan. She did enjoy how much your presence pissed Mielle off, though. Since one of the young ladies of the house shunned you, you turned to the other. She was wary at first and a little bit threatened (though she'd never admit it), but a certain solidarity was reached between you two when she found out unflattering rumors were being spread about you. That you faced the same prejudice for your status that she did. You were Aria’s only friend in the house, the only one who simply liked her without wanting something from her.
The two of you together are a problem, coming up with all sorts of ways to mess with the people who look down on you two. You’re Aria’s greatest partner in crime because you’ve always been seen as meek and well mannered and you can get away with things she can’t. You’re the first person she ever told about her power and her intentions for Count Roscente and his children. You like her even when she's behaving like a brat and although people consider you the milder daughter, you can be as deviously crafty or maybe even more so.
Aria can get jealous of your friends and likes to remind them in that passive aggressive noble way that they’ll never be as close to you as she is. She might even use the hourglass to pull on their hair and step on their dresses if they piss her off enough. Although the two of you are distinct in style, sometimes the two of you will dress in the same colors, wear matching jewelry or do similar hairstyles. Carin will basically act like that scene in Victorious where Jade goes “They’re identical, look at them” then the camera pans to Andre and Beck. Sometimes she’ll be impressed by you doing something crafty or smart then she’ll go, “well, you are my daughter so it’s only natural you’d be talented.”
Count Roscente might consider you a pet/hobby for his ornamental second wife to amuse herself with but she sees you as her daughter as much as Aria sees you as her genuine sister.
Carin is an admittedly permissive parent but just the same as her biological daughter, you’re still her primary concern. Fuck everyone else, it’s you and Aria she’s looking out for. She wants you to avoid struggling like she and your mother had so despite her carefree nature, she does all she can to set you up for an easy future. Luckily for her, Aria had the same sentiments. When she's crown princess, she intended to make sure you lived in the lap of luxury. But not before she destroyed the house of your father who left you to starve on the streets, right along with the Roscente county.
#am i beating the hates writing good sister relationships allegations?#manhwa x reader#x reader#the villainess turns the hourglass x reader#the villainess reverses the hourglass x reader#or whatever its called now i can't keep track of all these damn titles#aria roscente x reader#manhwa imagines

Pre-tour press conference in California, October 23, 1974; photo by Mark Sullivan/Getty Images.
“As Olivia Harrison remembers, her future husband, George, drove himself to work on the first day on his new job. It was October 1974, and George Harrison had flown to Los Angeles to visit the offices of the record label he’d just launched. The only problem was that no one had organized a welcoming party for him, but Olivia — then Olivia Arias, newly hired to work on the project — dashed out to the parking lot to greet him. ‘I thought *somebody* should,’ she says. ‘He drove onto the lot by himself in this little car, and I thought, “Jeez, this is a big day in his life,” and I went outside and said, “Welcome!” He said, “What’s going on?” He was very excited, but it was just me.’ […] ‘Jerry Moss [A&M co-founder] put my mom on the Dark Horse project because she was the only person cool enough there,’ adds Dhani. ‘She was a meditator, and they figured she would get on with my dad real well, which evidently she *did*.’ (The two were married in 1978, the year Dhani was born: ‘I was one of their early releases,’ he says drolly.)” - Rolling Stone, March 9, 2020
Q: “Was it love at first sight?” Olivia: “Pretty much. We felt it in our hearts from before we met. Even on the phone, we seemed to have some understanding, like you do when you meet the right person. And he was a charmer, such a charmer!” - The Sun, June 12, 2009 (x)

sorry to be a bother, but you've been kind enough to let people know when he posts channel updates on patreon (an aside, but is there a reason why he doesn't post things like youtube demonetization news or scheduling changes to the channel itself? i get BAs and previews should be behind a paywall, but i'm a little confused why youtube subscribers don't get a little heads up for stuff about the channel too. i digress though!). i see he posted an audio about schedule changes. i only wanted to ask if this means he's mentioned going down to once a week uploads? no problem if you don't feel like answering or haven't listened (i see it's like an hour long which is a lot). thanks either way!
I don’t know why he doesn’t update you guys as often as us, and it is a gripe I have with him, but I’m more than happy to update you guys!
Firstly, the schedule has changed drastically. He will attempt to keep posting audios on the Friday/Saturday schedule, however audios have been bumped down to once a week, with the day it will be uploaded being sometimes random. On the sneak peeks he posts, there wont be a set date for any of them anymore
Second, the Anton Fooliverse audio will be the next audio released, whenever the day comes.
Third, the video he released on the Patreon is something Im not sure will be uploaded to the channel. It’s a part of a new series where he rambles abt the world building in the redactedverse. It’s not exclusive info, everything he talks abt is either on the timeline or has already been spoken abt in an audio before. It’s called Redacted 101, and he was js rambling abt the magic in a broad sense in the verse. What latents are, how magic works, how Aria and the Sovereigns worked, how FLs came to be, the Cacophony, stuff we already know.
It’s supposed to double as a informative audio and a sleep aid in a sense. I don’t know if it’s being released on the channel, however.
If you want, while I can’t and won’t provide the audio he released for us, I can screenshot and share the message he left abt the future of the channel, since idk if I spoke abt everything in it.
#dont ever be scared to ask me abt the channel#Im always happy to talk abt it; its why im here! ^^#redacted audio#redacted asmr#redactedverse

Crush Rush: A feeling of happiness that occurs when a person thinks of, looks at, or interacts in any way with the person they like. Usually impairs one's judgements, resulting in saying or doing stupid things.
𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀 | 【1】 | 【2】 | 【3】 | 【4】 | 【5】 | 【6】 | 【7】 | 【8 -> pt.1 | pt.2】 | 【9】
╔═══════════ SUMMARY ═══════════╗
San was often told that he was everything a girl wanted to date: handsome, funny and smart. That was until they got to know him better. Then he was told he was too much, too overwhelming, had too many emotions and was too chaotic. Thus his experience with dating was not as good as one would have thought. The problem: he has the biggest crush on a girl he met whilst studying abroad. But every time he messages his crush, he seems to mess things up further and further. With the help of his hyperactive friends he tries to win Ara's heart but before that, he has to convince her he doesn't actually hate her.
💟 if you wanna be added to the taglist, please just send an ask!
D I S C L A I M E R S :
💜 1) Crush Rush used to be a social media au for another group but I’ve decided to rebrand it using ATEEZ. The overall story and characters are the same, I just assigned a member to every character and changed some small details. This new version is also gonna be (hopefully) an improvement of the previous one, since it’s gonna be more detailed; besides, I believe my writing is slightly better compared to when I first started the story in September 2020.
💖 2)❗️This story is x READER. It’s f!reader and I gave her a name because I dislike using Y/N but I’ve abstained from giving detailed descriptions of her to improve the reading experience for the people who like x reader stories. My main character is a Korean-American so she has two names: the American one is Aria and the Korean one is Ara.
💙 3) There are quite a few ships in this story so if this is not your cup of tea, feel free to skip. However, note that I DON’T BELIEVE any of those people are dating in real life and I’m not pushing any agenda. I’m just using ships because of the characters, it’s for the aesthetic of the story. Some of the ships you may encounter are Seonghwa & Hongjoong and some weirder ones like Le Sserafim’s Chaewon & Mingi, as well as past Chaewon & Wooyoung. Again, I’m not shipping the actual people who have probably never even interacted properly. Future WooSan is possible too.

Situation: Aria comes to Viper Estate to get Jayden and has a conversation with his parents and brother with her future sister-in-law beside.
[Viper Estate]
Mr. Vipr: Aria, you come here everyday to take Jayden off someone. Can't you give him some place?
Aria (Glaring at Mr. & Mrs. Viper): And let you keep him in your grips? Pass.
Mrs. Viper: Excuse me?
Aria: You think I don't know, but I'm not stupid; you three are trying to keep Jayden locked up here, in his own house, because you're don't want to 'lose' him. He already freed your family and he lets you live on his Estate. Give my boyfriend room to breath and have his own life. (Points at Jamil) And you're the worse one. You hate me because I make sure Jayden isn't in your clutches.
Jamil "Only because I don't trust you. You suddenly appear after Jayden frees us and you're his girlfriend. Forgive if I don't welcome you with open arms."
Someone stop Jamil before he actually fights someone in the house. Angry snake boy about to cause more problems.

I'm gonna put my theorizing and headcanon cap on and analyze the title of the book, The Cursing of Chateau Castle to figure out exactly what the cursing aspect of it is all about!
So... the series has been going on for years most likely by the fact that there's been 87 issues of it. That means there's a high chance it first got released Before the King took over Vaugarde. So the cursing aspect couldn't be about being frozen in time. Chateau castle is the name of a place in it but chateau also means castle (specifically one designed as a fortress). Sooo in a way, Chateau castle is both a castle that people can live in and a fortress of defense, which is a pretty cool thing in a way to have the rulers of a country live in a castle made to keep attackers away.
But theeeen, a curse happened to it. But what kinda curse is that? I have no idea cuz it wasn't mentioned at all buuuut, there's a high chance that each castle has their own unique curse. Considering the fact that the entire story is about Josephandre and his party destroying castles and saving people. Pierre-Jacques-Erneste even went and sacrificed their Own castle to save Josephandre. Whatever the curse is, it's Directly tied to the building itself and the best way of getting rid of it is by destroying the structure. Which, for nobility is an extreme way of practically dethroning them (instead of just taking the crown, throne, or any item that signifies their authority, their Entire castle gets taken away which is practically the biggest indication and symbol of their power).
So I'd like to think that the "curse" is heavily tied to the history of the people living in that castle, it could be born from the sins overflowing in the place, it could be born from an object that was locked deep inside the castle and its seals broke. It could be anything! Whatever the case though, I am neck deep in the brainrot juice and now I'm thinking bout Pierre-Jacques-Erneste that is infected by a curse after that self-sacrificial act he just did which would result in a near death experience around the end of the series (since Mira was wondering if Pierre survived before Siff found the last issue).
#aria rants#i have a special skill and thats getting attached to a book series within a game where theres barely any info about...#the knowledge ive accumulated from reading several otome isekai manwha is paying off honestly like-- im thinking of so many#possible stuff for the curse in the series and also the power structure of the countries josephandre's party goes to#are the rulers of the country blinded by power? were they changed cuz of the curse that was unknowingly active in the castle?#what about countries without a monarchy? are they safe from whatever curse has been running rampant in the other countries?#or do they have another problem in regards to that? are the curses a separate problem from country to country or did it appear#cuz of a certain event in which unleashed cursed power in the world? if so is there a way to completely get rid of that then?#were the future issues' stories slightly adjusted or changed from the drafts when the king took over vaugarde?#as a means to draw a parallel between the current problem vaugarde was facing???

Figured that now that I've got a bookblr, I should make a post about the Read the World Challenge I'm doing! I'm reading a book primarily set in every country, doing my best to focus on authors from said country, though I will read diaspora authors if that's not feasible. Also some of the books from early on were from diaspora authors because I was pulling from books I had already read; I'll likely read more books from those countries in the future if I can.

ARIA - Autonomous Research Interactive Assistant | AI!Reader in the Krang Apocalypse
Gen
Part 2
Pairings: None
Characters included: Future!Donatello, Future!Michelangelo, Future!S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N
Warnings: n/a
Series: Part 1
Summary: Donnie is stretched thin in the apocalypse. Everyone needs the help of the genius but there is always so much to do, even with the help of his family and Shelldon.
But luckily Donnie is a genius inventor. Might as well create a robot that is simply there to answer everyones question.
Thus the Autonomous Research Interactive Assistant, aka ARIA, was born.
Word count: 2539
Authors Note: This is just a personal project I will work on in between Dream World and my college work. I just love the idea of Donnie creating a second AI and Shelldon immediately taking the mantle of the older brother. I just wanna write the robot siblings causing chaos while Donnie scrambles behind his robot kids to make sure no one dies. Also i just wanted to take the chance to maybe write in the future Casey jr and Shelldon hang out bc you can't tell me those two wouldn't kinda think of each other as cousins lmao
Also I gave Reader a name (Aria) in this one but Y/N will be used sometimes at some point in the future.
In the apocalypse Donnie’s mind has probably become one of the most important assets. He provides clean water, weapons, protection, and intel. And he makes it look so easy. You had a problem? He probably has multiple ways to solve it for you.
The thing was everyone had some kind of problem.
“Hey Donatello, we have problems with this water purifier. We can’t find the correct replacement parts, do you know what we can do instead?”
“Oh, Mister Donatello! We are trying to bioengineer crops that work well with the destroyed soil here somewhat. We need your expertise!”
“Aha, Donnie! Our weapons seem to be less effective against the Krang. Got something to juice our weapons up more?”
“Donnie, we really need you for this recon mission to determine what the Krang are building there.”
“Donnie, how is your research going into reversing the effects of Krang infection?”
“Donnie, we need more prosthetic limbs.”
“Donnie, medical supplies are running low. We need a proper substitute if possible.”
“Donnie, you really should sleep more.”
Hah, sleep.
Sleep felt like it was only a distant memory at this point.
He wanted to help! He really did but it was just impossible to follow every inquiry with the same priority. Either because some things were frankly impossible at the moment, they didn’t have the correct materials for the project or there just wasn’t enough time.
There was always so much to do and never enough time.
Even with the help of his brothers and sister. The work seemed never ending.
So, as a way to try to mitigate it, Donnie decided to upgrade Shelldon. Over the years the bot made great strides when it came to learning more about behavior and seemed to get better at interacting with people. His rebelliousness faded over the years. Understanding that there were more important things to do and if he can help his creator, or father as he began calling him over the years, then so be it.
That said he still acted often more like a young teenager than the recon bot he was supposed to be. Frankly Donnie giving Shelldon proper limbs like legs, arms and of course hands seemed to have enabled him more when it came to his mischievous behavior. Now being able to interact better with the world around him.
Still, he was reliable and was able to assist with recon missions and relay important information from one point to another in record speed.
Besides, Donnie would never admit it out loud, but he did appreciate Shelldon’s attitude somewhat. Somehow his mischievous behavior brought him a sense of normalcy. Something that survived the start of the apocalypse. Sure, he was an AI and part of this could be then attributed towards Donnie’s programming but still. A lot Shelldon learned himself. Even more he seemed to have picked up from Donnie’s family to his chagrin.
As much as Shelldon helped him out though it never seemed enough. Shelldon was meant more for recon rather than as an information bank to help other parts of the resistance.
There was a knock on the door to his workshop. Donatello didn’t even bother answering already knowing it was Mikey who would just let himself in. If Leo, Raph or April did that he’d make an annoyed comment. Mikey had the younger brother privileges. Not at all times but most times.
Enough to particularly annoy Leo with that fact.
“What can I do for you, Mikey?” Donnie asked as he hurriedly continued to type on his computer. New lines of code appearing on the screen in a scarily fast tempo. His battleshell was laying on the ground against the desk. The design having become more sleek over the years. Though even in the apocalypse Donnie couldn’t help himself adding a few LED lights for the aesthetics.
The Krang were the absolute worst thing that ever happened to the world and the universe but when they do manage to liberate a Krang labor camp they did get access to interesting Krang materials that he didn’t hesitate to use for his own projects.
One such project was currently sitting on a workbench on the side connected to his computer with a ton of cables. Charging as he worked on upgrading the programming of his new invention.
Mikey was now standing behind his chair “We haven’t seen you longer than a few moments the last few week. We’ve been worried about you. Gotta eat and sleep, Donnie.”
He wanted to roll his eyes but his eyes were too busy scanning his code since there seemed to be some kind of mistake. Probably a missing semicolon.
“I am eating and taking rests. Don’t worry. Besides once I’m finished with this I will hopefully have an easier time taking breaks.”
This obviously piqued Mikey’s interest “Oh? Why is that? What are you working on?” He finally moved to his side, his eyes now scanning the code as well which was amusing to Donnie. Mikey probably tried to gleam any kind of information from it while barely know anything when it came to programming. Not that Donnie hasn’t tried teaching him. He never got past the basics with him.
But this was way past the basics. This was genuine GeniusTech programming that can create a sentient AI.
“I’m making an assistant.” He simply stated.
Mikey paused “What like… what? Isn’t Shelldon already kind of filling that role?”
Donnie tilted his head to one side and back, as if he was mulling this statement over “No. I want to create an assistant that can store a vast amount of information on all kinds of subjects while being able to autonomously do research shouldn’t the correct answers be there.”
“So, we don’t have to bug you anymore when asking you how god and the world work, eh?” He didn’t need to look at his younger brother to know that he was smirking. At this point this has been one of his biggest grievances after all. Sure, he loved infodumping but topics like the filter of a water purifier weren’t exactly on the top of that list.
“But more importantly.” Mikey drawled out the last word “Does that mean Shelldon will have a sibling?”
Donnie bristled at that, as well as a turtle can bristle “No! This is just my Autonomous Research Interactive Assistant. Nothing more. I’m building it to give us room to breath to work on more projects at the same time.”
His brother chuckled at his response “You say that but you aren’t even correcting Sheldon anymore when he calls you dad.”
He couldn’t even respond before Mikey spoke up again “Anyway, is that them?” Probably pointing to the slumped over robot on his workbench.
The robot was just like all his tech purple. The head was more humanoid in nature with a screen for where the face would be. They also had a shell on the back. Knowing Donnie there were probably a ton of hidden compartments that held all sorts of interesting gadgets. It was probably only around four feet tall which would put it around the same height as Shelldon.
This actually felt rather short even for Mikey nowadays. All the Hamato brothers have had growth spurts over the years. All but Mikey were almost towering over other humans at this point. This just seemed to be one of the other effects of originally being created to be soldiers to fight in a war against humanity.
It was a bit ironic and almost heartbreaking that this gave them now an edge while warring against the Krang. Even though Draxum created them for this reason he still seemed somewhat sad about that fact now. Though Mikey was sure he was the only one who noticed that about the goat yokai. He was probably the only one who could read the yokai almost like an open book at this point.
Donnie’s gaze flitted over to his workbench, looking at the robot that Mikey was now closely scrutinizing without actually touching it “Yeah, yeah. That’s the Autonomous Research Interactive Assistant. Or will be.”
Mikey furrowed his brows, his hand running through his short black hair that he was slowly growing out, mostly on Donnie’s orders since he was still a bit perplexed by his sudden hair growth “Why not just call them Aria. Seems easier than to say the whole name out loud.”
“Yeah, yeah. Sure. Aria.” Donnie sighed.
“Shelly knows about them, right? Like he has to since you work on them in the open like that.”
Donnie scoffed at that “Of course he knows. He helped assemble the pieces and calibrated the joins while I worked on other things or the code.”
“That might explain why he has been more high energy than usual.”
“I swear if Shelldon touched one of the Krang energy cells again-“
Mikey laughed “Nah, I think he is just excited at having another robot around soon.”
Donnie didn’t respond to that. He was too busy adding more lines of code. Everyone seemed somehow way more excited at his new invention than he anticipated. Aria, as Mikey had dubbed it now, would be hopefully a big asset in the base.
“Anyways. Stop working on them. It’s Hamato dinner time. I was supposed to just grab you. Let’s go Donnie, we actually scrounged up some nice ingredients for once. Come on, come on. I cooked real food after ages.”
The prospect of honest to god real food sounded fantastic. It sounded so good after months of just military rations that he immediately saved his project and got out of his chair to put on his battleshell. It was just dinner with the family but especially nowadays he despised walking around without his artificial shell.
After being caught in a fight without it he almost glued the piece of tech on him. He even slept with it on for a while. His brothers had to practically peel him out of it. Leo then had to take care of any chafing on his soft shell. This whole experience was unpleasant enough that he learned to at least take it off again when he sleeps or when he is hunkered down for days in his workshop.
“Food sounds good.” He agreed as he followed his brother out towards where his family was undoubtedly waiting for them. If they started without them Mikey would probably beat them all up. Knowing him he probably wanted to see everyone’s reaction to his cooking after such a long time.
It took a good while longer for the work on Aria to progress. A lot came in the way of that but Donnie tried his best to work on this project whenever he could.
Donnie was currently working on Shelldon’s left arm that got a bit jostled during his last recon mission. He had to admit he always felt a few trepidations when he sent out Shelldon with others for missions. This time it seemed somewhat warranted since a Krangified human apparently got close enough to get ahold of him to pull his arm out of its socket. Were he a living being trying to set the arm back in would be painful as all can be but luckily for Shelldon this was mostly a thing of moving it back in and just repairing and fastening screws to hold it in place.
Maybe he should upgrade Shelldon again and give him even more defensive capabilities even if it’d slow him down.
A metallic scratching sound pulled him out of his thoughts “Shelldon. What are you doing?”
Shelldon was using his other arm to look at the exposed wiring and exoskeleton of the robot next to him. Aria was still sitting on the workbench slowly collecting dust.
“Just seeing if I can do something while you work on me, dad. I wanna see them finally come online.” He simply replied.
Donnie pulled one small screw tighter “If you want we can work on it more once I’m done with your arm.”
Even if Shelldon was incapable of an actual smile due to his build, Donnie swore he could see him do so in his own way. He obviously perked up at the prospect.
And as promised as soon as the arm worked again and was calibrated to Donnie’s standards, which took way longer than Shelldon would have liked, they jumped at completing the chassis.
Completing the code took longer than that. It took a couple more weeks between missions and work for Donnie to feel confident enough in his work to try to activate the robot for a test. He just wanted to see if his code started up correctly.
Shelldon was at Aria’s side while Donnie worked on the computer side of things. Starting up multiple of his analysis programs to record how the technology worked with each other. If there were parts that unexpectantly heated up for example.
He pressed on his enter key to start up the Aria program. Immediately turning around to see his GeniusTech logo appearing on the screen of Aria’s face.
A few commands appeared. Showing him exactly what programs started and loaded up only to disappear again and a pixelated face in a neutral expression appeared. Huh, he swore he designed it in such a way that it should start with a resting expression.
Aria blinked.
“Hello. I am your Autonomous Research Interactive Assistant. How may I help you?”
Donnie couldn’t help his glee as he yelled out “By Galileo! It works!” It loaded up and reacted just how he wanted when being approached by someone else. There was definitely too much static in their voice and there was a weird echoing effect on it. Something he will have to work on.
But now to test its capabilities.
Something easy to test the waters.
“At what temperature does water boil?”
The response was immediate “Water begins to boil at 99.97 °C, 211.9 °F and 373.15 Kelvin.”
Ah just as precise as he had hoped.
“Explain to me what the measurement of metal strength is.”
Once again, the response was fast “Tensile strength is a value that indicates a metal's ability to resist deformation and failure when loads are applied that pull it apart. Tensile strength is typically quantified through units of pounds per square inch, PSI, or pascals, Pa.”
Perfect! Now what else should he ask to really test their ability to pull the correct knowledge out. What would be a complicated enough question?
“Brah. Come on. They just came online! Do you just want to quiz them?” Shelldon whined. Sometimes Donnie was really confused where he got his attitude and speech pattern from. Then again Leo did sabotage him years ago.
Sighing, he relented “Alright. Autonomous Research Interactive Assistant. Register an alias for yourself.”
They tilted their head to the side to look at him inquisitively “What name do you want me to register?”
Shelldon’s head snapped up to his creator. There was something pleading in the way he acted and looked at him. Donnie nodded.
The turtle robot walked in front of the new one “Aria. A-R-I-A.”
“Aria.” They repeated. “The name has been registered as an alias. You may refer to me now as such.”

My first oc writing (on here)
"Flowers." The man said quietly as he stared out the window. "Is the other awake?" He added. "No, I made sure they weren't." Flowers could see the man's smile in the reflection of the glass. "Wonderful, you did me well. I can't have him intruding on our plans."
"I understand.. Where is Celica, Sir?" Flowers asked quietly. "She'll be here soon, she's supposed to be making sure that Cattie doesn't start to ask questions."
"..." Silence shared between the two, someone's approaching, it's not surprising. Being high ranking beings, of course they would have people visiting. They know it's someone working with them, the heels clicking on the ground indicate the very woman who put the plan in his head.
The door opened slowly and quietly, the woman closed it behind her, flowers shunned her eyes, looking towards the ground. Trying to shield her eyes from the woman's reflection on the floor.
"Rio." The woman says as she approaches the window. "Mrs Aria, nice to see you." She snapped her fingers, her nails clicking together as she did. "Stop the small talk with me Rio.. Where's Celiac? I expected everyone to be here by the time I arrived."
The blinds closed, leaving the room completely darkened. A creature stepped out of the shadows gracefully. "Apologies Mrs Aria, I had business to attend with Cattie. The people and her are growing suspicious, I can no longer randomly disappear at night, they all expect me to rule."
"No no, don't apologize. I just need to check in with all of you. Flowers? What's the problem with Snakes?" Flowers looked up, she messed with her fingers a bit. "Mrs Aria, Snakes is growing suspicious, he knows the body is awake when we both are supposed to be in our slumbers."
Aria turned around and slowly made her away around the table, clicking her fingers on the mirrored table. "Oh? Well, you are The God." "Correction, we are The Gods." Aria started at The God. "Then make it to where you're the only one controlling the body."
She stared dead at the flowered woman, her eyes cold and empty. "You want me to kill my brother?" "Did I stutter Flowers?" "No.. You didn't." A hm sparked from Aria. "I didn't think so, I'll see you all next week."
Aria flipped her long black hair and walked towards the door, her crispy red heels clicking on the floor. The door opened and closed. Celica left as well, letting the shadows consume her.
Flowers went for the door before she heard a laugh, she turned towards Rio. "Sir?" She asked with a worried tone in her voice. "Is there a problem?"
"Flowers, did you know. I was once nothing? A weak nobody. Now, I'm a ruler. I am God. No one can stop me." Flowers stared. "What? Mrs Aria is the complete ruler, she rules over all the dimensions. I don't understand."
Rio turned around, the wrapped bandage around his head slowly fell, revealing another two eyes that were darker than blood. "I am God." He started. "Once I get that blasted woman out of my way, I'll be unstoppable."
...
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Join me Flowers, be unstoppable with me. Take over with me. Become.. The God."
Flowers looked down on the table, staring at her own reflection, seeing her brother. "What about Snakes? Won't he know? I-I.. He's more powerful than me, he knows how to-" "Shut it. Just, say yes."
...
"Okay."
"Okay?"
"Count me in.. Rio."
"Please," Rio stepped towards the table. He stared at her for a second before walking towards her, once he reached her he slid his hand up her neck and raised her head. "call me Agares." Flowers stared at him. "Okay.. Agares.."
"Good, now leave; and figure out how to get rid of that damn Snake. I won't be stopped."
Rio/Agares
Flowers/Snakes
Aria (future)
Celica
Cattie/Caterpillar
