✮ Bittersweet Sixteen.

TASM!Peter Parker x Kindergarden teacher!reader

main masterlist

Summary: After weeks of not speaking, you need Peter to do you a favor and put his suit back on. But the last thing you expected was to find your heart beating for him again, just like in high school.

Words: 4,2k.

Warnings & Tags: fem!reader. lack of communication. friends to lovers. pure fluff. first kiss yep. temporarily located years after the last movie, peter has already graduated from college and left the life of a superhero. english isn't my first language (sorry for my mistakes, be kind please).

Note: I have had this in my drafts since I started writing here (months ago) and it makes me very happy to be able to stop correcting it a thousand times and publish it.

Your office was your sanctuary. It was the only space in the entire school that offered a reprieve from the chaos—quiet, orderly, and a place where you could drink hot coffee in peace, without worrying about a child knocking it over. But today, everything about the space felt…off. Your desk, usually neat and meticulously arranged, was cluttered, a bag sitting on top that didn’t belong to you. The air was tense, charged with unspoken words. And most notably, you weren’t alone.

Peter Parker sat in the chair across from you, hunched over slightly as he fought with the too-snug sleeves of his old Spiderman suit. The blue and red fabric was wrinkled from years of disuse, clinging to him as though it, too, was reluctant to let go of the past. His hair was mussed from pulling the mask off earlier, and his expression was a mix of concentration and awkwardness as he avoided your gaze.

The last time you’d seen him was on your date—a surprisingly pleasant evening at a restaurant that had intimidated you at first with its crystal chandeliers and white tablecloths. You’d laughed more than you expected, found small moments of genuine connection beyond that of usual friendship, and left the night feeling a little lighter, a little more hopeful. It ended with a polite goodbye and a brief, somewhat hesitant hug. It made you think of the teenage girl you used to be, who had a crush on him back in high school. It might have been silly, but you felt butterflies, and you were sure he did too.

But then…nothing. No calls. No texts. You’d waited, your phone practically glued to your hand, each notification making your heart jump. Days turned into weeks, and the silence between you solidified, leaving you wondering if perhaps the connection had only been one-sided. Now, he had come to your work, yes—but not for you. At least, not in the way you’d once imagined.

It was all because one of your students was the biggest Spiderman fan you had ever met, and that was quite a lot for a kid who had practically lived more without the superhero in action than with him saving lives and walking between buildings. It was only a matter of time before you had a lightbulb moment.

“You know,” Peter said suddenly, his voice breaking the heavy quiet, “I don’t think this suit has seen daylight in years.” He tugged at the sleeve, grimacing when it resisted. “Either it shrank, or I grew. Both are bad options.”

The corner of your mouth twitched, a reluctant smile forming despite the tension. “It’s probably the suit. Lycra has a way of holding grudges if you don’t treat it right.”

Just like me, you thought. You still were trying to remind yourself that he was just there to surprise one of your students and that it wasn't about you or your friendship.

“Yeah,” he admitted, looking down at the suit. “It’s been a few years, at least. I’ve been busy…you know, at the lab.”

You stepped closer, reaching out instinctively to smooth the fabric along his shoulder. The action was small, but the proximity sent a wave of awareness through you. His shoulders were broader than you remembered—had he always carried himself with this quiet strength?

Damn, you had to concentrate. Really.

“Right,” you said softly, focusing on adjusting the suit. “The lab. I know…but you’re still good at the hero thing. Showing up, being there for people. That’s kind of the most important part, right?”

He looked up at you then, his brown eyes catching yours, a flicker of something unspoken passing between you. For a moment, he seemed on the verge of saying something, but the words didn’t come. Instead, he offered a lopsided smile, one that didn’t quite reach his eyes.

“Well, I couldn’t say no. Not to you.”

Your fingers paused on the cuff of his sleeve. The words were simple, but they landed heavily, stirring something in your chest that you weren’t quite ready to name. It was probably your heart exploding, just like when he would pass you in the hallways at school and accidentally brush your shoulder against his or when I smiled at you suddenly and said that you looked good. It was deja vu. A big one.

“You didn’t have to,” you replied, stepping back to create some distance. “I wouldn’t have blamed you if you’d been too busy.” Just like how you were these weeks, not to call me.

“Too busy for Spiderman’s number one fan? That’d be a pretty lame excuse.” His attempt at humor was there, but his tone carried an undercurrent you couldn’t quite decipher—something apologetic, maybe even regretful.

You folded your arms, creating a barrier you hoped would steady you before talking. “Jamie’s going to lose his mind when he sees you,” you said, your tone deliberately light. “It’s the perfect birthday surprise.”

His face softened at the mention of your student, and he seemed genuinely grateful for the change in topic. “Jamie,” he repeated, testing the name on his tongue. “You said he’s, what, five? Six?”

“He turned six today,” you corrected, a small smile tugging at your lips. “And completely obsessed with you—well, with Spiderman. He spends half his recess pretending to swing between buildings, and his favorite art project this year was a crayon drawing of you fighting a giant lizard. It’s hanging on the bulletin board outside the classroom if you want to see it.”

“Now I definitely have to see it,” Peter said, his grin returning. “Sounds like my toughest critic.”

“Hardly,” you replied, the warmth in your tone surprising even yourself. “He thinks you walk on water. You’re going to make his entire year just by walking into that classroom with his birthday cake.”

He shifted in his seat, his usual boyish charm dimming slightly as he looked at you. “You’re the one making this happen. You didn’t have to ask me to do this. It means a lot, you know. That you thought of me.”

The weight of his words settled between you, making your heart tighten. There was something in his tone—earnest, maybe even vulnerable—that made it hard to look away. You knew better than anyone how much the decision to give up the hero role had cost him, how many times you two had talked about whether this was his true purpose in life.

“Of course I thought of you,” you said softly, and then, more hesitantly, “I mean, you’re Spiderman. Who else was I going to call for this?”

Parker chuckled, but there was a note of self-deprecation in the sound. That was not an answer to be expected, no matter how obvious it was.

“Yeah. Spiderman. Right.” He hesitated, his fingers brushing against the edge of the mask sitting on your desk. “I just…I didn’t think you’d call me at all. After, you know...”

There it was. The thing neither of you had been brave enough to address until now. Why? Why? Why?

The words hung in the air, thick with the weight of everything unspoken. You could feel the silence closing in, like the pause between breaths right before a storm breaks. His eyes—those warm, familiar chocolate eyes—seemed to be searching yours, as if waiting for some kind of answer, but you couldn’t quite find the words. He was your friend, your best friend, someone you could tell anything to. But now, nothing coherent can really come out of your mouth.

You shifted uncomfortably, the tension in the room almost unbearable. Your heart thudded against your ribs, and you knew you had to break the silence. But now wasn’t the time. Not in this place. Not like this.

“Let’s…let’s focus on Jamie, okay?” you blurted, your voice coming out sharper than you intended, almost a little too loud for the small space.

He blinked, clearly startled by the sudden shift, and for a moment, you both just stared at each other.

“Right, Jamie,” Peter echoed, giving you a smile that was a little too tight, a little too cautious. He shifted, standing up from the chair, and the air around you seemed to settle just a little.

You cleared your throat, stepping back, your gaze flicking to the clock on your wall. “He’s going to lose his mind when he sees you walk through that door.”

He looked at you, his lips twitching at the corners, though the tension in his eyes didn’t fully fade. “You’re sure you don’t want me to do a big dramatic entrance? Swing through the window or something?”

You laughed, though it felt a little strained. “Let’s keep it simple, okay? We don’t want to traumatize any of my kids.”

He chuckled, but it didn’t quite reach his eyes. He moved towards the door, and for a second, you hesitated. He was still wearing the suit—his Spiderman suit, the one that had once made him a legend in your eyes. But now, as you stood there, a thought nagged at the back of your mind. The suit was a part of him, yes, but so was the mask. The mask was his identity, the thing that separated the hero from the man.

“Hey, wait,” you said, your voice softer than before, and he paused mid-step. You walked over to him, the sudden proximity almost overwhelming. The mask sat on your desk, waiting, like a silent question. Your heart raced as you picked it up, turning it in your hands for a moment, letting the weight of it settle. “You should probably put this on. You know, just to keep your identity safe. We don’t want anyone knowing who you really are, right?”

“Yeah, I guess you’re right,” he said, his voice lower now, almost distracted.

You swallowed hard, your hands suddenly trembling slightly as you moved closer to him. The space between you seemed impossibly small, and for a moment, neither of you moved, just standing there, suspended in this strange, fragile moment. You could feel the warmth of his body, the soft rhythm of his breath as he stood in front of you, and for the first time since he walked into your office, it felt like the distance between you had closed.

And for a moment, everything felt like it did in high school, when you were both teenagers trying to hide the secret and not to fail your subjects.

Gently, you reached up, lifting the mask toward his face. His eyes met yours, and for a fleeting moment, everything in the room stilled. You could feel the weight of his gaze. And in that moment, as you moved to place the mask over his face, your fingers brushed against his skin—a simple touch, but one that felt electric. His jaw tensed under your fingertips, his breath hitching slightly.

You took a deep breath, your heart racing, and carefully slid the mask into place. The action was small, but it felt monumental, the kind of quiet gesture that spoke volumes. It was intimate in a way you hadn’t expected, and as you adjusted the mask, making sure it was secure, you couldn’t shake the feeling that something had shifted again in your heart.

“Perfect,” you said softly.

Peter looked at you, now fully transformed into Spiderman, and despite the mask, there was something in his posture, in the way he stood, that was unmistakably him. “Thanks,” he said, his voice muffled through the fabric, though there was still a tenderness in his tone.

The sounds of children’s laughter and chatter grew louder as you moved toward the classroom, the vibrant energy of the moment standing in stark contrast to the quiet tension that had surrounded you both earlier. You stole a glance at Peter. Even in the suit, even behind the mask, you could feel his nervousness, a subtle hesitation in the way his shoulders tensed, the slight uncertainty in his step. It was as if he was still learning how to be this version of himself again, but the earnestness was unmistakable.

When you reached the door, you paused, turning to face him. “Ready?” you asked, your voice soft but carrying the weight of the moment.

“Born ready,” he replied, his smile audible even through the mask, though it was tinged with a hint of uncertainty.

You took a deep breath and opened the door, stepping in first to scan the room. The instant the door swung wide, the children’s eyes locked on you, their faces lighting up with excitement. Jamie, sitting at the small table with his friends, froze mid-conversation. His eyes widened, his face glowing with anticipation as he jumped to his feet.

“Miss! Is it time for the surprise?” he asked, his voice full of wonder.

“Not just yet,” you said, your lips curving into a conspiratorial smile. “But I think you’ll want to pay attention.”

And then, with a theatrical flair you hadn’t expected, Spiderman stepped through the doorway and the cobwebs appeared. The room erupted in gasps and squeals of delight as the kids leapt from their chairs, crowding around him with wide-eyed awe.

Jamie froze, his mouth hanging open as he clutched the edge of the table. “No way,” he whispered, his voice trembling with disbelief. “It’s really him?”

Peter crouched down to Jamie’s level, his movements fluid and natural despite the years away from the suit. “Happy birthday, Jamie,” he said, extending a hand for a high-five. “Someone tell me you’re my biggest fan.”

A soft laugh bubbled in your chest at the mention. The kid hesitated, looking at you for confirmation, and then, with all the enthusiasm his tiny six-year-old body could muster, slapped his hand against Peter’s gloved one with the loudest, most joyful smack. “You’re real! You’re really real!”

The other children chattered excitedly, peppering Spiderman with questions about his powers and his adventures. He handled it all with practiced ease, weaving just enough humor into his answers to keep them laughing but still utterly convinced that he was, in fact, the superhero they adored.

As you watched him, standing back and taking it all in, a soft warmth spread through your chest. He wasn’t just good at this—he was great. His ease with the kids, the effortless way he connected with them, it was clear: he was a hero not only in costume but in every little action. The doubts that had plagued him, the years spent questioning if the mask was still a part of him, seemed so far away in that moment. He had it—the ability to inspire, to make people believe, to make them feel seen and important.

For the first time in weeks, you felt that flutter in your chest again—the one you hadn’t realized you’d missed so much. It was hope, soft and steady, like a heartbeat you’d forgotten how to hear until now.

You stayed near the back of the classroom, content to let Peter soak up the adoration while you took a couple of pictures of it. But every now and then, he would catch your eye, and even through the mask, you could feel the gratitude radiating off him. It was a silent thank-you, a quiet acknowledgment of the bond between you, for pulling him into this moment, for giving him the chance to be this version of himself. You nodded, your lips curving into a small, affectionate smile.

When the excitement finally began to settle, the cake was brought out, and Jamie proudly showed Peter his crayon drawing—an adorable depiction of Spiderman battling a huge, ferocious lizard. He studied it for a moment before declaring with all the sincerity he could muster, “Museum-worthy,” making the kid’s face light up with pride. The joy in the room was palpable, and it was impossible to tell who was happier: the children, who were living out their dreams, or the superhero himself, who was finally realizing that, perhaps, there was still a place for him in this world.

Eventually, it was time for him to “swing” away, and after a round of hugs and high-fives, he disappeared down the hall, leaving a room full of awestruck children in his wake. You stayed behind, cleaning up the remnants of the party and basking in the lingering joy.

By the time you returned to your office and all the kids to their houses, the hallways were quieter, and the sound of little feet had faded. But when you stepped inside, there he was—Peter, still waiting for you, now back in his civilian clothes, the Spidey suit crumpled in one hand like a tired, old memory.

“Oh,” you said, a little startled. “I thought you’d already left.” I wish.

“I figured I’d stick around for a bit,” he said quietly, running a hand through his hair, still slightly ruffled from the mask. “I don’t exactly get to see kids this excited for me every day.”

You couldn’t help but smile in return. “You really made Jamie’s day. I’ve never seen him so starstruck. He’s going to be talking about this for his whole life.”

Peter chuckled, but it was a little strained. “It’s good to know I’m still that impressive,” he said, his tone light, though there was an underlying sadness that didn’t quite match the words. “I guess it’s been a while since I’ve been in the game…you know, the hero thing.”

You just nodded. “You are good at it, you know.”

His smile was a little wistful as he tossed the suit onto the desk, his eyes following it for a moment before meeting yours again. “Yeah…but that’s not really what I came here to talk about.”

At his words, you felt a flicker of curiosity mixed with unease. You crossed your arms, suddenly feeling a little self-conscious. “Oh? What did you want to talk about?” Please say you want to correct my bad posture when I took the pictures or something.

He shifted in his seat, his fingers nervously tapping against the desk. “Honestly…I’ve been thinking a lot these past few weeks,” Peter began, his voice quieter now, almost like he was trying to gather his thoughts. “About you…about us. And, well, I guess I just…I missed you.”

Oh, that.

You blinked, taken aback by the sudden vulnerability in his words. For a moment, the room seemed to close in around you, your breath catching in your chest. He missed you? You hadn’t expected that.

Before you could respond, he went on, his words coming faster, like he couldn’t stop himself. “I know things have been weird since the date. And I didn’t…I didn’t want to just text you or call and make it feel like I was making things awkward. You know? So, I guess I just…waited for you, and I get the message.”

Your heart skipped a beat, and every conclusion you ever had was shattered.

“Wait,” you said, the realization dawning on you. “You were waiting for me to call?”

“Yeah. I mean…I thought maybe you were the one who needed space, and I didn’t want to rush things or make it weird. I didn’t want to push you into something you weren’t ready for or didn’t want.”

Not ready? Don’t want? You literally had been wanting it since you were sixteen.

You blinked again, feeling a warm flush spread through you. “I…I thought you were the one avoiding it. I didn’t want to make things uncomfortable, so I didn’t reach out either.”

His eyes widened slightly as the words sunk in, and for a moment, there was just a long silence between you, filled with the soft hum of the fluorescent lights above. Then, finally, a soft laugh escaped him, and you couldn’t help but chuckle too, the tension easing slightly.

“I guess we were both just sitting here thinking the other person would make the first move,” Peter said with a grin, shaking his head.

You couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity of it all. “This is ridiculous,” you said, your laughter soft but genuine. “We’ve been friends for years, and now we’re both too nervous to talk about it.”

He chuckled, his gaze dropping for a moment. “Yeah. Seems like we’ve been pretty bad at this whole communicating thing.”

The laughter between you two died down, the room suddenly feeling warmer, the space between you shrinking with each passing second. For a moment, there was nothing but the quiet hum of the fluorescent lights and the soft shuffle of Peter’s shoes against the floor. You felt a spark of something flicker within you—something long suppressed, a longing, an ache you hadn’t quite realized until now.

He shifted in his chair, a bit unsure of what to do next, his fingers absentmindedly brushing the fabric of his crumpled suit. His eyes met yours, and for a second, the weight of everything—your shared history, the unspoken words, and the lingering emotions—hung in the air like a delicate thread waiting to snap.

“I guess we should…try this again,” he murmured, his voice low and tentative. The vulnerability in his tone made your heart flutter. “If you want.”

You nodded, feeling your cheeks warm, but this time it wasn’t from nerves. You stepped closer, closing the space between you, feeling the presence of him so close you could almost feel the thrum of his heartbeat.

“Yeah…let’s try again,” you whispered, almost to yourself, but loud enough for him to hear. “I want it.”

Peter stood up, his movements slow and deliberate, as if he was giving you time to change your mind. His hand reached out slightly, as if asking for permission, and you met him halfway, your fingers brushing against his. A spark of warmth shot through you, igniting a familiar flame.

He cupped your face gently, his thumb tracing the curve of your jawline, as if memorizing every detail of your expression. Your breath caught, heart pounding, as you met his gaze—his brown eyes soft, but with that unmistakable spark of affection you had longed for.

“You’re beautiful,” he murmured softly, his words both an affirmation and a confession. The sincerity in his voice made your breath hitch in your chest. You smiled shyly, unsure how to respond but feeling the weight of his words settle deep within you.

Slowly, he leaned in, and for a moment, time seemed to slow. His lips brushed against yours lightly, just a whisper of a kiss, a hesitant touch that held more promise than any grand declaration. You closed your eyes, letting the sensation wash over you, feeling your body relax into the familiarity of him. His lips lingered against yours for a heartbeat before pulling back, as if checking in, unsure of how much was too much, too soon.

“I don’t want to rush anything,” he said, his voice a little shaky, as if unsure of how to navigate this new territory between you two. “I just want to take things slow, see where this goes…do it right.”

You nodded in agreement, your hands gently gripping his as you let the moment linger. “Yeah, me too. No need to rush.”

He stepped back slightly, looking at his watch with a sigh. “I should go,” he said, his smile a little sad. “I’ve got work, and you probably have things to do.”

You felt a pang of disappointment, but you understood. The moment, as sweet as it had been, couldn’t last forever.

“Yeah, I get it,” you said, trying to hide the disappointment in your voice. “I’ll see you soon, right?”

He nodded, a warm smile tugging at the corner of his lips. “Yes, you definitely will.”

Peter took a step back toward the door, but before he could reach for the handle, he stopped, turning to face you once more. There was a hesitation in his eyes, a pull that seemed to tether him to you in that moment. Without a word, he crossed the room in a few strides, his hand reaching for you again, this time more urgent, more sure.

Before you could say anything, his lips were on yours again—this time, deeper, more insistent, as if he could no longer wait for you to make the first move. It was a kiss that spoke volumes—of all the missed chances, of the longing, of everything unspoken between you. It was both sweet and desperate, a promise and a question wrapped up in one.

You responded instantly, your hands finding his shoulders as you leaned into the kiss, feeling the heat of his body against yours. For a few moments, nothing else mattered but the rhythm of your kiss, the way his fingers brushed your hair back, and the warmth of his breath against your skin.

Finally, when the kiss broke, both of you stood there, breathing a little heavier than before, eyes locked in a silent exchange that said more than words ever could.

He ran a hand through his hair again, his expression a mix of longing and determination. “I’m not waiting anymore,” he said softly, as if to himself. “I’m sorry, I can’t.”

You smiled, the weight of his confession making your heart flutter. “Then don’t wait,” you whispered back.

And with that, Peter leaned in one last time, pressing his lips to yours, not with hesitation or doubt, but with the certainty that whatever this was—whatever was between you two—was worth fighting for, even if you both weren't sixteen anymore.

CR Aspec Fest - Info & FAQs!

The Critical Role Aspec Fest is a month-long fanwork fest (with a prompt for each week) celebrating aromantic-spectrum and asexual-spectrum experiences!

Schedule and Prompts

WEEK 1 (Feb 1st-7th): Aro-spec

WEEK 2 (Feb 8th-14th): Ace-spec

WEEK 3 (Feb 15th-21st): Unconventional relationships

WEEK 4 (Feb 22nd-28th): Free week! Whatever your heart desires.

FAQs

(if something isn't answered here, please feel free to send an ask or message!)

Can I make something about a character being demisexual or demiromantic or (insert other label)? Can I make something about a character who's straight?

Absolutely - please do! Aspec is a very broad umbrella term, and this event is all about celebrating a variety of experiences that aren't well-represented in media. If it feels right to you, go for it. I'm not going to exclude any works from the fest just because they aren't relatable to me.

What types of fanworks can I make for the fest?

Anything! Be that fanfiction, fanart, meta, gifsets, edits etc. - everything is welcome! If you're writing fanfiction, you're encouraged to post to the AO3 collection here.

Which Critical Role characters can I make fanworks about?

Do I have to make a fanwork for every week to take part?

Nope! The more the merrier, but we're doing this for fun, not to stress!

Anyone in anything they've streamed - so the main campaigns, EXUs, Candela Obscura, Daggerheart or other oneshots!

Do I need to be aspec to join?

Definitely not, as long as you're coming in with the mindset of being respectful of our experiences. For one, I'm aromantic but not ace-spec - so making works about ace-spec experiences is naturally going to be more difficult for me, but entirely doable with a little bit of research! I think it's a great way to learn about others.

Why February? Why a whole month?

Yes, there are plenty of aspec weeks hosted in other fandoms, which are great and the inspiration for this event! But personally, I am both slow and busy, so making just one thing per week is much more achievable for me. I chose February because Aromantic Awareness Week is the week after Valentine's day, and this fest was originally going to take place during that time. I'm also unaware of any other fandom events happening in February (although please let me know otherwise, just for my own interest!). The fact that February splits so nicely into 4 whole weeks is an added bonus!

Edit: There is another CR fandom event this month - @vexlethuary!

Would you like people to share around the existence of this fest?

(Okay, maybe this one's a bit of a cheat.) Yes please! Even if you don't plan on taking part, getting eyes on the existence of this event would be wonderful. This is the first fandom event I've ever hosted, and I don't have a huge platform among fic writers, who are likely the largest contingent of nerds (lovingly) who'd be interested in taking part in an event like this.

Other Rules

Please don't bash any ships or headcanons you don't like! Part of the fun of fandom is seeing the broad range of possible interpretations, and I'd always rather foster a sense of community rather than opposition.

Suggestive, NSFW and whump content is fully allowed, but must be tagged correctly for whatever platform you're posting on. When reblogging suggestive or NSFW content, I'll use the tag #CRAspecFestNSFW, so filter that if you'd like.

Fanworks should be focused on aspec experiences or characters, but other topics or characters can totally be included, and these experiences don't have to be super clear or well-labelled in-text (gods know that real-life experiences are often opaque and confusing) - it's your intention that matters. This is up to your discretion, really. As with the rule of thumb for AO3 tagging - if someone was viewing this for aspec content, would they be disappointed? If so, you can always rework it, or post it outside of this fest.

Please consider adding alt text to any images you post - here's a useful guide if you're not sure what to write.

This account will be reblogging every fanwork made for the fest - just remember to tag us, and use the #CRAspecFest tag! If you don't have a tumblr account and want a post about your work to be included, send a message.

There'll be more posts on this account with ideas for how to approach the prompts, plus reminders at the start of each week, tagged #CRAspecFestPosts. All submission reblogs will be tagged #CRAspecFestWorks (and #CRAspecFestNSFW if applicable).

★ // New Update Time, wahoo!!

Fellas, I'm going to spoil one of the upcoming offerings, you ready? . • ☆ . ° . I am building a Discord server!

This server will have cool features such as: opt in for pings for new offerings right as they drop, access to a bunch of Johnny emotes, and potential WIPs of things I'm cooking.

While making a hub for my own work is nice, that isn't my main purpose here.

A big reason why I started this shrine was because I had a newfound obsession in JoJo and I needed to express it in some way, or else I would explode. Sharing the art I make has been great! But admittingly, Tumblr is not very intuitive when it comes to holding conversations or making friends with similar interests, which is something I know I'd like more of; maybe others feel the same way?

I'd love to carve out a place where creatives in the JJBA community could come together and just chill, talk about our interests, share their work, gush about ships, and just have fun. There'll probably be an emphasis on Johnny, Gyjo, and Steel Ball Run as topics in the server because of myself and the audience I've attracted, but other JoJo parts and discussions are welcome!

I will be making the server 18+ only. Nothing against minors, but I'm an old man who should be making friends with other adults.

I don't have an exact date for the launch, but the server will be launching sometime before April so that we can all come together and discuss JOJO Day, which is fast approaching!! So keep your eyes peeled, and feel free to let me know your thoughts about the server in the replies! I value any input and suggestions.

★ Spring Cleaning

// Additionally, I've been doing a bit of upkeep to spruce up the shrine. Please check out the new blog layout and updated pinned post! Here are the patch notes if you're curious:

★ Patch Notes 03.20.25

// Tagging

★ Changed #shrineofferings tag to #offerings ★ Corrected every post that didn't have the proper tags. Everyone can now view all offerings and updates from newest to oldest on the blog using the tags.

// Pinned post (View here!)

★ Added a SBR spoiler content warning ★ Changed some of the verbiage and order on the pinned post so the text is less wordy and flows better ★ Added a link to my carrd for people to find me elsewhere ★ Made the pinned post look overall prettier aesthetically :)

// Theme (View on desktop!)

★ Fixed any broken links and buttons ★ Added a proper bio ★ Added some art to sidebar/explore panels ★ Added code to put 075's pixel sprite to the bottom right corner because I thought it was cute. :)

I plan on sprucing up the theme as time goes on by making specific graphics in the form of offerings, but I at least wanted everything functional!

That's it for now, thank you for reading! :D

#updates #jjba #jojo's bizzare adventure #steel ball run #sbr #johnny joestar #I dunno about y'all but I know for me personally I've had this sort of... pervasive sense of loneliness the past few months?#Which feels crazy to say. I have plenty of really good friends!! I hang out with people!! I have no shortage of people who love me!!#I think it's due to the double whammy of leaving twitter behind and getting into JoJo when I don't know many friends into it.#Leaving twitter means I left a lot of people behind. I'd still talk to them but some I don't know how to reach out to.#And I've been in mostly one fandom my whole life. So I've had to really go out of my way to integrate into a new sphere of people on my own #So this is me extending a lil olive branch. Many of you followers seem very nice funny and talented and I'd like to get to know you!#The internet feels a lot more fragmented these days. So I hope I can help bridge that gap a little with this server. <3

Good day! I was wondering if your review on Restart Heart has changed after the new demo came out recently? If you haven't played it yet, I suggest trying it out and letting us know what you think of it.

After trying my hand at the updated demo, I can safely say that my personal opinion has changed quite a bit since the very first version. The MC seems a touch more like an insufferable prick now with how rude they are towards some characters, how "Mary Sue" they act in given situations, and how they overreact to certain events occurring around them. Their inner thoughts and rational thinking are nothing like mine as well, but that's more of a personal thing. While I'm aware it's currently still a demo and these events aren't considered "canon" by the dev, it isn't exactly doing a good job at persuading me to try out the finished version of the game once it comes out.

I do like that there are more than one "main" yandere now, however unfortunately none of the other characters aside from Ezra and Sammy really appeal to me. Each character seems very "stereotypical" and play into a very specific trope, but it's been like that since the first release so I'm not too bothered by it. I guess I was hoping for more developed and interesting characters in the update and got let down with the lack of improvement from the first version.

I'm also unsure how I feel about how overly "woke" the demo is trying to be? The overuse of Arabic phrases by Bess seems somewhat out of place and repetitive, so many characters are overtly trans or use their ethnicity as a base for their personality (especially seen on tumblr), the NSFW scenes [in the first version] feel like I was being babysat with the constant "consent check ins" and boundary implementations, and characters like Steph talk about their job [a pornstar] as though it's something to glorify or romanticize. The game's job is to make these characters appealing enough for us to pursue but I can't get over how forced/unnecessary their backstories and personalities feel. I'm transmasc myself but I'm put off by these constant reminders being shoved in my face at every turn, especially on the official tumblr page. I like that these sorts of things are being represented in a positive way (much less in a visual novel where it's so rare), but I don't like how constant and overplayed they are.

I will say that the writing has definitely improved in the new demo and it doesn't feel as overtly casual with the grammar and punctuation anymore (almost as if the narrator was texting me rather than talking to me). The characters have established connections with the MC now which I like, though I understand that this may not be everyone's cup of tea. The new CGs are nice too, however I won't comment on the updated art style since I personally prefer the scratchy anime style of games like TKATB, Mushroom Oasis, and even 14DWY [the first version]. I've always liked the music used and the GUI looks good, so I didn't mind not seeing much of an update for them in the new demo.

Overall, I have mixed feelings but I'm hopeful and optimistic that the finished version will be much better if the updated demo is anything to go by. I also hope there won't be a price tag on the finished product because as good as it is now, there is still so much that needs to be improved on to justify even a $5 label. These are my personal thoughts, though I'd love to hear yours as well.

It took me a while to replay the new demo and then find the older demos since it's no longer on the itchio page (There is still a link for the third day, but I had to watch epsylion's video on the fourth day, which excludes some routes). I admit that while I am generally aware of what is going on with various vns and their updates, I haven't had time to really go through and play most of them, so if there is a game that I have gone over before but it has updated, feel free to send me an ask.

Restart Heart seems to have an interesting conception, with the game going up to it's fourth day, before eventually being pulled back into a shorter demo that encapsulates the first day, likely to revamp and improve on the game as a whole. As such, I'm not sure if I've missed anything specifically as I'm not on the patreon . As a quick recap, the general plot of the first demo was that the MC, Sugar basically went on a huge party rager after finding out their ex fiance cheated on them and got their younger sister pregnant. As a result, the four days that we do spend with Sugar and the other characters are generally Sugar attempting to get back on their feet with the help of Ezra and the other characters, Bess, Blaire, Sammy, Chris and Steph along with sleeping with some of them if you so choose to. The new demo is a bit similar but only covers Sugar before finding out about the cheating, with them having a smaller interaction with the rest of the crew at the chocolate place they work at (namely that they almost got crushed by a bunch of staplers).

I think compared to the four day version of Restart Heart, I actually prefer this new demo's Sugar to the old one, though that's likely going to change once they find out about the cheating that's going on. While I understand that Sugar is going through a generally horrible situation of someone cheating on them, I also find their behavior kind of hard to deal with and not that much fun to play with. This is just my general gripe with a lot of yandere vns, not just Restart Heart in particular, where the MC tends to be very cynical and dislikes doing... well anything, which to me is a touch tedious and kind of annoying at times. I also feel like from the four day version, they feel a lot more bitter and angry (again due to the break up) but also coddled very heavily as well. Understandably it is nice to have someone who is able to care about you and try to make things feel better when everything feels like it's falling apart, but to me it still feels very infantalizing in some aspects, with every character seemingly trying to nurse Sugar back to feeling better. It's likely more of a me thing since I've always been the type of person to drag myself back up by my feet, rather than attempt to rely too much on other people. In the new demo, Sugar has yet to experience this (at least from what I can tell) so is generally more stable and less prickly. I don't think it's particularly Mary Sue like in the new demo, considering that I feel like if my friend almost got crushed by a bunch of staplers, we'd all run over there too and make sure that they're okay, though I can see where you're coming from since most of the characters are revolving around Sugar in that sort of way. It's hard to say what kind of characters the Restart Heart gang will be considering that it is still a demo, but considering it did have four days already out, I can see what you mean. We don't get to see too much into their lives (outside of Blaire, I think which probably has the most characterization out of Chris and of course Ezra). It would be nice for them to do other things as well like go out on dates or just hang out more one on one (like going to hang out at the library with Sammy, for instance) to get to know them a bit more.

Interesting take on it. I did notice that Bess uses a lot of Arabic phrases, kind of like someone who is trying to learn the language and is attempting to use it in their every day life so that they can remember it. I don't think that specifically was the intention, but it did come off like that for me. I'm not really sure what you mean by "overtly trans or use their ethnicity as a base for their personality", do you mean as more of like that's their main personality trait? A very minor confusion I have with the game is the use of pronouns that are attached onto the characters. That in itself isn't really a problem but it does seem a touch redundant because there is a character bio for all of the characters that already has the pronouns on it. Not anything huge, but it is a strange decision to make. The checkins for nsfw content is generally a thing that happens in a lot of r18 yandere vns, but I do get that it does feel very babysitting like, especially if it's something that happens after the initial agreement.

I do agree that the writing has improved a lot more, with the characters written in a more lifelike manner and feels more like they have known Sugar for a while. I also agree that it's nice that they have more stronger connections to Sugar this time around. I think the music is good, though I do wish that they would change it up more since the same soundtrack repeated does make it a bit tiring (though this is likely just a demo thing). Lilith did a good job of coding everything as expected, especially with the pronoun, name, partner, nickname choices in the very beginning. There is a lot of variation for people who want to be called a specific way during the NSFW parts (though admittedly I don't really like most of them since well, I prefer submissive yanderes). They are doing a lot of projects right now, so it is hard to say when the full version will come out and what the quality will be right now. Hopefully it will come out well though, and there will be more yandere content that I can shift through.

elden ring dlc spoilers

here's my 2 cents about the dlc and the reactions i'm seeing

i have no intention of writing a post analyzing in-depth the lore of the dlc since i've yet to go through every dialogue and item description as i did for base game – anything i were to write now would be incomplete at best – so this is not it. i just wanted to address the overall dissatisfaction i'm seeing from a lot of people. like, as someone who spent weeks after playing the base game reading every single line of text in the game, analyzing each environment, enemy placement and design, seeing the reaction people are having to the dlc lore is quite funny. i get being disappointed a character isn't what you thought they'd be but going so far as to scream "bad writing!" is a bit excessive. i even saw people claiming miyazaki changed the writing to pander to the fans and, seriously? fromsoftware never came close to doing that and there's absolutely no reason for them to start now. but anyways, as i mentioned before i'm a huge lore nerd, the kind with a huge mind map containing nearly all relevant item descriptions, there's nothing in the base game i haven't read, so i think it's safe to say i have a somewhat good understanding of what new lore piece in the dlc contradicts what lore piece in the base game. i'm in no way an authority on the matter – there isn't one – nor am i pointing fingers saying "i'm right, you're wrong" – i just don't understand. i've been through countless different theories before i settled on the ones i entered the dlc with and obviously i wasn't right about everything – especially because a lot of it is speculation not to mention there's not really a right or wrong, only different interpretations of the same materials – but nothing new i encountered contradicted the base game lore i had put together. if anything, it strengthened even more some of my theories. so many people are upset about miquella being the main antagonist or that he's evil (which i completely disagree with, especially some posts portraying miquella as some kind of cartoon villain which is more speculation than anything with actual support from in-game lore), but everything was leading up to it if not in the base game in the dlc (the moment i found miquella's discarded love i figured who the final boss might be, when i found st. trina i was sure). "but the radahn fight comes out of nowhere" maybe there's no direct mentions of it in the base game but it is hinted quite well albeit very subtlety what miquella wanted to do with him in one of the dlc quests – not to mention radahn makes the most obvious sense when you think of miquella/radahn as a parallel to marika/godfrey. and miquella using mohg is not even worth mentioning – i hope my fellow mohg enthusiasts are feeling vindicated, as am i. in short, nothing seemed out of place for me at all. so i was really taken aback when i went into the tags and saw the overall mood. everyone can have different opinions regarding their enjoyment of the dlc nor are there right and wrong theories in a fromsoftware game where the lore is so vague but it's quite upsetting seeing people talk about how "the dlc ruined miquella's character" or "the dlc lore has no connection to the base game" when that's simply not true. if anything, the dlc only added more depth to miquella and even if i was heartbroken at the death of my favorite elden ring character, it made sense thematically. if anything i'm more upset about the fight itself but that's a gameplay problem which is not the focus of the post.

#i’m always open to discussions btw #i love talking about the lore of this game and it’s almost always fun to see other people’s different interpretations and theories #however i won’t stand by people calling the writing of the dlc bad bc it doesn’t fit the views they had of the lore #there are many things that can and should be criticized in this dlc but the overall lore is not it #elden ring spoilers #elden ring #shadow of the erdtree #shadow of the erdtree spoilers #sote spoilers #luca.txt

The Duff 14

Warnings: groping, insecurity, food and body issues, manipulation, and the usual. Proceed with caution.

Feedback is always welcome. Love you and thanks for the wonderful responses so far.♥♥♥♥

Image credit (I want to give dues where due but don’t want the creator to keep getting tagged in my posts as I have been approached by some before that they don’t want me in their notifs)

You skip lunch, trying to make up for missed time. The hours fly by and you only look up from your desk as Marnie packs up. You wish her a good night and Taylor leaves soon after without a word.

You cradle your forehead and pull your phone closer, flipping it over. Notifications stack on the lock screen unnoticed as you keep it muted in the office. You don't need Gloria lecturing you again about professionalism.

That most of the notifications are messages from Curtis both surprises you and doesn't. You fully thought he was too mad to bother yet he's left a scroll of texts. He's a bit much, too much.

Ugh, you don't know. You put down the phone and rub your eyes. It's just all too fast. You're panicking. And clueless. You just really don't know if you're blowing it out of proportion.

You retrieve your phone and flip up the lockscreen. You thumb through your contacts and hit Stephanie's name. You hesitate, hovering over the keyboard.

'Hey, sup?'

Hopefully she answers. You can ask her about Curtis. Or maybe you're better off just forgetting him. You're almost too embarrassed to tell anyone. You're probably being stupid.

You go back to your work. Gloria is already gone. You barely saw her before she left for the courthouse and Charles dipped out after his lunch. You might be the only person left in the office.

You enjoy the solitary. You feel like you haven't been alone in forever. You never realised how much you actually enjoy it.

Your steady typing fills the silence. You ease into the lull, the sky dimming through the windows, casting a haze over your cubicle. You save the file and check the time. You should go. At this point, you're working for free.

The click of a door handle frightens you. You assure yourself it's just the cleaner but the scuff of a sole assures you otherwise. Andy lets out a garbled noise.

"Shoot, sorry, I didn't realise anyone was still here," he says.

"Just about to leave," you grab your phone and make a face at the new alert. Even more messages and none from Stephanie.

"Avoiding home?" Andy wonders as he pulls shut his office door.

"Not exactly," you shut down your computer and grab your bag from under your desk, "just… not in a hurry."

"I know the feeling. Not rearing to sit down to a microwave steak and powdered potatoes," he kids, "you know what people never warn you about when you divorce? The cooking."

You force a laugh. It's nice of him to humour you. You suppose your problems could be worse. You don't have to worry about custody or alimony or really anything but yourself. Maybe that's why Curtis is making you so anxious.

"Not tryna be inappropriate but you have any suggestions? Might be better off grabbing something on the way."

"Er," you shoulder your bag, "the taco place isn't too bad from what I hear. My friends said it was amazing.:

"You didn't go?"

"Uh, no," you admit as you rub your neck, making the awkward shuffle towards the door ahead of him, "I was busy."

You won't admit that they didn't invite you and that you were at home watching their Insta stories about the ghost pepper salsa. No one needs to know that. You wish you could forget that altogether.

"Hmm, I don't mind Mexican," he follows you through the door, "how about you? What's for dinner?"

"I don't know, cereal," you scoff as you head down the stairs, "easier than cooking."

He's quiet as the stairs creak beneath his feet. The old building groans as you come down to the main floor. You don't even feel much like eating.

"I hate to be… too forward but you wanna join me for tacos? My treat."

"Hmm?" You pause at the door and glance back at him.

"I mean, you want something quick and I hate eating alone. Every night. In front of the TV."

You feel a pluck of sympathy. You can't tell if he's playing it up or joking. You also don't know how acceptable it would be to have dinner with your boss.

"You don't have to stay. We can grab take out and you can enjoy it at home."

You keep your hand on the door and tap your toe. It's just food, right? You hate to turn down a free meal and Andy's harmless.

"If I'm being honest, I really just don't wanna walk in by myself. I feel like a bit of a sad sack," he lowers his voice. "So?"

You tilt your head back and forth. It will be a good excuse not to look at your phone. You tuck the cell phone on the side pocket of your bag and give a smile.

"Sure, why not? If you're paying, I'm not complaining."

Kaeya, cavalry captain of Mondstadt! A pleasure to meet you all~ 23, he/him.

This picture isn't fully accurate now, but Borealis is still with me! Along with his other friends who keep tailing us around, haha.

Kaeya’s pokemon

Pleasure to make your acquaintance. I am Lynette. 21 and she/her only.

Kaeya has let me borrow his... odd mechanism when I please. If you are interested in magic, or my brothers… this is the wrong time and place for that. But if you wish to speak with me... just get to the point.

Lynette’s pokemon

If any of you see my good friend Aether, or our other companions, Alhaitham or Furina, please do let us know. We’re a bit worried for them.

Heyaaa!! It’s @saywha413, mod of @arven-x-drayster-4ever, @ask-sarah-and-co, and all the other blogs in that universe!

I love Kaeya genshin sm and I thought a faller blog would be silly…

since this is a separate universe from my main one, I’d be alright with him being in like other universes if that makes sense? but uh. hmu if you want to do like a rp thread or join universes or smth.

Note relating to the actual genshin part. The only other faller chars planned (as of rn) are the ones he listed. Most other chars will be back on Teyvat- so in @/fallernboughtkeeper’s side.

finally. There will be kaether (kaeya/aether) bc I am crazy abt them. Aether is 20 (under legal drinking age of 21). I am also highly considering furina/lynette and kaeya/aether/alhaitham but we’ll see lmao

main au tag

designs (digital redesigns in progress - 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 warden)

ALNST au askblog!!

Intro + rules under cut

hiii it's @popatochsp at it again with yet another AU askblog. woooo

send an ask to any of the ten prisoners or the warden and I'll draw them answering to the best of their ability.

Rules will be as follows:

Don't send NSFW asks into here. Suggestive jokes and such are fine but anything that makes me personally uncomfortable will be deleted or blocked

You don't need to know anything about Danganronpa or Milgram to interact

Asks about ships are fine, but I plan to keep things vague regarding romantic feelings/pairings in this AU so don't harass me about it

This is a story that doesn't take place in the Danganronpa universe. Each character has been rewritten into the role of the prisoner from Milgram that matches their number. What this means is that not everything about these characters will be accurate to either canon. Don't harass me about my choices for this AU.

As Milgram is a currently ongoing series, plot elements, interpretations and theories may change at any time. This also affects my writing, as I use the story as a sort of track for my own to follow. If any plot inconsistencies arise don't be too bothered haha, this story is very much still in development.

The same goes for designs. My designs aren't fully finalized so uhhhmm ignore any inconsistencies that pop up. for my own sanity.

You can ask the characters anything but they might not tell you everything. On a similar note, I won't be explicitly revealing the crimes of the characters as that ruins a lot of the fun for me haha. Ask whatever you like but don't expect a clear, guaranteed answer.

You can also ask me anything about the story or my ideas as long as it's clear that the ask is addressed to the mod :)

I'm very busy a lot of the time so I might take a while to reply to asks. I set this up mainly for my own enjoyment so don't take this personally.

I will delete or block any asks that I personally want to as well.

I'll update this if I think of more things that need to be added.

Tagging will go as follows (the tags basically follow the same system as the Stage AU blog):

All in-character posts are tagged with #ic. Out-of-character posts by me as the mod are tagged with #ooc.

All posts with drawings attached are tagged with #a drawing while posts without drawings attached are #not a drawing.

Art posts are also tagged with either #on computer, #on phone or #on paper depending on what device I drew them on, since access to some programs, digital especially, might become limited at times due to personal or technical issues.

Each character that appears in a drawing or ask is tagged with their full name in canon.

Asks are tagged as #asks!! while anons are tagged with #anonymous and non-anons are tagged by username

Miscellaneous reblogs will be tagged with #reblog. Any possible thread interactions will be tagged with the username of the person it was reblogged from. Posts I reblogged from this account will be tagged with #srb.

Posts that aren’t asks or connected to a reblog are tagged with #original text

I generally won't tag any posts with ships as romance isn't a main focus and I don't really have a lot of shipping in mind, unless the focus of a specific post is intended to be romantic in nature. Despite this, I don't mind any of my posts getting tagged with ships in reblogs, do what you like with that.

I’ll add onto this list if I come up with anything else.

Characters you can send asks to:

Monomi & Monokuma

Warden - Makoto

#001 - Nagito Komaeda

#002 - Ibuki Mioda

#003 - Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu

#004 - Mikan Tsumiki

#005 - Nekomaru Nidai

#006 - Chiaki Nanami

#007 - Byakuya Togami(...?)

#008 - Sonia Nevermind

#009 - Hajime Hinata

#010 - Peko Pekoyama

Ficfinder finds: Turning Purple

Chapter 1: Turning Purple

Chapter 1 Summary: After the Krang’s attempted invasion, Donnie starts to experience some… adverse side effects from connecting to the Technodrome. This is very loosely inspired by somerandomdudelmao’s apocalyptic series on tumblr. Warnings for this fic!!! As mentioned in the tags, cancer is a big theme here. Also medical procedures, and needles. There will be lots of depressing moments, but I try to balance it out with some wholesome fluff... ya know, eventually.

Turning Purple: Appraisal and Ratings

(Don't know what fanfic "Appraisal and Ratings" means? Check out my explanation on my Main Masterpost! Looking for a different fanfic to read? Head on over to my Fanfic List Masterpost!)

Disclaimer: This fanfic is unfinished, so this post will continue to update as the fic updates. This fanfic is written by @lizaaardstuff, so go show them some love and support!!

The fanfic ratings are not based on quality, favoritism, or how good I think it is, but rather, how intense a subject may be. Like a movie review, or the tags on Ao3, letting the readers know what to expect.

Plot: 💛💛💛💛🖤

"Plot is four out of five!! This first chapter of Turning Purple, though it doesn't delve into the action part of the plot point, wastes no time jumping right into the medical part of the plot!!"

Suspense/Mystery: 💛💛💛💛🖤

"Suspense/Mystery is four out of five!! This chapter has a lot of suspense, that builds right into mystery! The suspense is built as Leo and Donnie attempt to figure out what exactly is making Donnie sick, then is turned into mystery as the diagnosis isn't revealed in this chapter. Cliffhanger!!"

Angst/Hurt: 💛💛💛💛🖤

"Angst/Hurt is four out of five!! As this takes place just a little bit after the invasion, the boys are already trying so hard to recover. This chapter has a lot of medical angst, along with some really well written sibling angst!"

Fluff/Comfort: 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

"Fluff/Comfort is zero out of five!! Chapter 1 of Turing Purple, has pretty much no comfort nor fluff in it whatsoever."

Emotions Conveyed: 💛💛💛🖤🖤

"Emotions Conveyed is three out of five!! This chapter has some really strong emotional scenes that really got me in the feels!! This chapter contains a lot of fear, and worry pertaining to medical topics."

Drama/Tension Level: 💛💛💛💛🖤

"Drama/Tension Level is four out of five!! This chapter has less drama, and more tension, especially between Leo and Donnie, with most of it being fear based."

Triggers: 💛💛💛🖤🖤

"Triggers are three out of five!! This chapter is very heavy on medical topics and potential diagnoses. Potential triggers you may need to keep an eye out for are; medical talk, needles, deep bruising, and fear for health. Remember, read the tags and stay safe!"

Legibility (Reading): 💛💛💛💛💛

"Legibility (Reading) is five out of five!! Chapter 1 of Turning Purple has no strange text, no images or anything, and is written very well, making it a smooth read!!"

Legibility (Audio): 💛💛💛💛🖤

"Legibility (Audio) is four out of five! The formatting for this chapter is fairly enjoyable to listen to, however, the section breaks don't' translate well into audio book formatting as they're mostly paragraph spacing. Along with that, some of the sentences in this chapter are written in italics for emphasis, meaning if you listen to it as an audio book, you'll miss that."

Length: 💛💛🖤🖤🖤

"Length is two out of five!! Chapter 1 of Turning Purple takes about 17-18 minutes to listen to!!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Next Chapter ->

Turning Purple: Story Ratings and Chapter List

Personal thoughts on chapter below cut (Contains Spoilers)

Donnie could feel a headache pressing on his temples, and every muscle in his body felt like they were being wrung out like a hand towel. His battle shell felt heavy and like it was digging into his shoulders. Donnie's discomfort must have been obvious because suddenly Leo was handing him a Dixie cup full of water and some light pain killers. When did he grab those? Without a word he grabbed the offered items from his brother, downing the meds and water, praying for a quick relief.

Ok, first things first, I love it when people incorporate real life items/brands into their writing, as it really helps make a scene feel so much more lifelike!! A cup is easy to imagine, but you really don't put much thought into what the cup is textured like. The moment a Dixie cup is brought up, it opens up texture, smell, density, and so much more, without even having to explain!! It just adds so much more character!

After realizing this wasn't a simple cold or flu, Leo wanted to run more serious tests. Donnie, ever the scientist that he is, immediately was on board. He helped Leo collect the supplies he would need, considering his very much still injured twin was on crutches. Though his usually fun adventures to find equipment topside were now dampened by the reminder that this wasn't for some fun science experiment or a big project, this was about his mysterious illness. By the knowledge that there might be something actually wrong.

I like how rather than being against it, Donnie is for the testing. Don't get me wrong, I quite enjoy a good reluctant fussy Donnie, but I also enjoy this quite a bit!! Donnie would indeed be interested in his own condition, not in the health sense, but for science!!

Donnie just nods along, almost feeling numb. Bone marrow sample kept floating around in his head. He and Leo had both read the same medical textbooks growing up, so he knew where Leo's mind was going. A low white blood cell count most likely means there's something wrong with his bone marrow, which could be the result of so many factors. Exposer to certain chemicals, leukopenia, leukocytosis... The most likely answer is the Krang have something to do with it. Maybe the ship. The others need to be tested too...

For those who aren't fluent in medical terminology:

"Leukopenia (low white blood cell count) happens when you have a lower-than-normal number of white blood cells. Specifically, you have fewer neutrophils than normal. Neutrophils are white blood cells that act as your immune system’s first line of defense. Without enough white blood cells, you’re more vulnerable to developing infections."

"Leukocytosis is condition characterized by increased levels of leukocytes in the blood. Leukocytes are a type of white blood cell that help protect your body against illness and infection."

"Although leukocytosis typically occurs when you’re sick, it can also be caused by several other factors, such as stress."

There are five different types of leukocytosis:

Neutrophilia. This common type of leukocytosis is caused by an increase in neutrophils, which account for 40–60 percent of the white blood cells (WBC) in your body.

Lymphocytosis. This occurs when you have high levels of lymphocytes, which make up 20–40 percent of your white blood cells.

Monocytosis. This form of leukocytosis is characterized by high levels of monocytes, which comprise about 2–8 percent of your white blood cells.

Eosinophilia. Like monocytosis, this type of leukocytosis is uncommon and is caused when you have a high number of eosinophils, which make up about 1–4 percent of the white blood cells in your body.

Basophilia. As the rarest form of leukocytosis, basophilia occurs when you have increased levels of basophils, which only account for 0.1–1 percent of your body’s white blood cells.

Each form of leukocytosis is linked with several health conditions:

neutrophilia: inflammation and infections

lymphocytosis: leukemia and viral infections

monocytosis: cancer and other types of infections

eosinophilia: parasites and allergies

basophilia: leukemia

Deep purple and blue blotches have started to form around the site Leo had drawn his blood from, spreading up his arm. It wouldn't have been too concerning if there was just some bruising, maybe after an hour or so, but this had formed so rapidly.

"Thrombocytopenia occurs when your bone marrow doesn’t make enough platelets. Platelets are blood cells that form blood clots to help stop bleeding. People with this condition may bleed a lot and the bleeding may be hard to stop. Thrombocytopenia affects people with certain medical conditions like autoimmune disease or who take certain medications."

"I'm just hoping I'm wrong. The bone marrow aspiration and biopsy will tell me one way or another." Leo says, averting his eyes so that he didn't have to make eye contact as he was being purposely avoidant of the question. "Leo! Just. Tell me." Donnie feels like he's going crazy. "As your doctor, I am not going to tell you until I have an official diagnosis with all of the information." Leo's eyes were now looking up at the ceiling, and he was leaning back on the counter again. "Ignoring the fact you just called yourself a doctor in the absence of any actual medical degree or license, can't you tell me as my brother? Or even a peer? I'm a scientist, I can handle whatever hypotheses you have cooked up, Nardo!" "Just- just trust me on this, please Don- I... I need to be sure." And Leo's voice cracked with emotion enough times in that to make Donnie back down.

This may just be a me thing, as I've been exposed to things like this before (not myself, but people I've known) but I guessed pretty soon what was going on. Based off the symptoms, I can see why Leo's reacting like that. They all need hugs!!

intro post!

[plain text: intro post!]

-TLDR info-

Name: Blackberry or Coyote

Pronouns: he/him

I am a suntherian (therian with NO 'human side' or human parts of myself, 100% nonhuman) and i am transspecies. I'm a polytherian, and my types are coyote, northwestern grey wolf, vancouver sea wolf, and cougar.

before you interact, as a warning: i am 100% nonhuman. i am not a 'person' in the human sense, only in the sense that i am a being with a soul. do not expect me to have human opinions on human issues or be an outspoken activist about things not directly relating to me. that isn't how my brain works. i am a coyote. i will do my part to help those i love and consider part of my pack and therefore my responsibility to help and keep safe, but i honestly do not care much about humans who are not part of my pack. i'm not a misanthrope, i am simply indifferent. theyre a very cute species IMO, but i feel about as strongly about them as i do about, like. giraffes. not my place, not my business, i dont really care. if this upsets you, i dont wanna hear it.

If you are 14 or under, please do not DM me or attempt to start a friendship with me! Due to my age I am not comfortable with that. I will assume that if you are talking to me, you are AT LEAST 15. If you are not and already talking to me when you see this, please let me know! Im okay being an older brother figure and giving advice, but I would like that to be a very clear boundary and apart from a friend.

My tagging system will be below the cut <3 [heart emoticon]

hi! Im Blackberry, i'm a therian (fully nonhuman) and I needed somewhere on the internet to bark incessantly into the void. Here are some pictures of my types!

about me!

Hi! I'm Blackberry, Berry or Coyote. I was put in this human body by my God and creator, the land and ocean herselves. you'll find a lot of nonhuman/transspecies joy and dysphoria on this blog, depending on how i'm feeling- it's where all my overtly and specifically nonhuman thoughts and experiences go. my main blog is @/cartoonghosts, if you wanna check it out. warning- i mask as human pretty hard over there. it's not a very accurate view of my selfhood, and almost all the posts i make are vents.

I'm bigender (boy who's a girl) but i do still prefer he/him pronouns solely, please! my gender is basically just my nonhumanity- im a boy as in im a coyote, im a girl as in im a cougar. hard to explain but i know some of you guys share my experiences.

I'm the main host of a system, and as far as i know only the subsystem im part of will ever post here as we're the only therians. my sysmate + friend/brother Sunny is otherpawed, we think, or some other more human type of animal connection, and he may post here sometimes during the summer but idk. he should sign off? probably?

In human terms, i have AuDHD (i'm a coyote- what were we expecting?) so dont expect me to be 100% eloquent and intelligent and good at human things on this blog, or anywhere. due to this, i tend to see things in a very black and white mannerism- the three options for my brain are 1) this is good, 2) this is bad, or 3) i dont care about this at all. being yelled at and told i am stupid or lazy does not change this. it is, again, because i am a coyote. please keep in mind that i am literally an animal if you have issue with things i say or believe.

Who I am!

Northwest Coast Coyote- my main 'type and 'baseline' of being. if i'm not in a shift towards another species, i am a coyote. my most coyote traits, which i love and bring me so much euphoria and joy, are my trickster/mischievous energy, my adaptability and ability to simply sit and survive whatever changes and hardships life throws at me, my resilience, my ravenous curiosity, and my pyromania.

Northwestern Grey Wolf- in terms of my grey wolf-ness, i am more femme/androgyne than coyote or seawolf. I don't know exactly what i would look like as a theriform grey wolf, but i've always connected with 'typical' patterns of grey, cream/white/pale grey, reddish brown, and black. my favorite wolf traits of myself are my loyalty to my pack, my nurturing of those more vulnerable to me, my aggression and protectiveness, my persistence, and my anger/ferocity.

Vancouver Island Coastal Wolf / Sea Wolf- my seawolf side is more reserved and quiet than my other types, and is often only brought to forefront when i am allowed to truly be myself on the pacific coasts. my relationship to the Ocean is through my seawolf side, and my favorite seawolf traits are my gentler curiosity, my playfulness, my fixation and focus when hunting, my love of the ocean and all things marine, and my calmness/gentleness.

Cougar- I only fully accepted and allowed myself to learn that i was a cougar more recently, as i used to insist that i was only a canine. My cougar side is my most feminine part, and although i still use he/him, the cougar part is where my womanhood comes from. i am still transmasc, i am simply a transmasc woman. my favorite cougar traits are how in tune i am with nature and the land, my drive and unwillingness to give up, my patience, my spitefulness, my grace, and my knowledge.

I am also doghearted, specifically a mutt dog. this is due to trauma and how i have been and am continually treated by human society.

Tagging system!

Format is #tag - what's in the tag

#coyote yipping incessantly - my original posts or posts where I talk

#blackberry talks - conversations over posts i have

#coyote irl - images of critters i feel look like me

#blackberry irl - images of me in my human form

#blackberry's art! - what it sounds like

(Newly implemented)

#blackberry seawolfposting

#blackberry coyoteposting

#blackberry wolfposting

#blackberry cougarposting

--- all of these are tags for when im talking abt or reblogging something that reminds me of these kintypes!

Terms I use that may confuse you:

Pack- my pack is not specifically other therians, but a word I use to describe how I experience relationships. If someone is not part of my pack, I do not care if they live or die. I could not care less about them. When they cross the border into being accepted into my pack, I would die for them and do anything for them. Thst is not hyperbole. I would do literally anything for my beloved packmates.

Theriform- an animal that is not a therian- an animal which is constantly percieved by others as nonhuman and has fully typical presentation and mental function of the species, with no experiences in species transition or forced humanity. An animal which is not a therian.

Theriophobia- society's hatred and mistreatment of nonhumans, especially nonhumans who are percieved as human or have human traits (bodies, DNA, whatever).

[blank]hearted- to not BE a creature, but to identify WITH it very strongly. For example, i am doghearted- although I am not a dog, due to my trauma and forced domestication at the hands of humans, I identify deeply and powerfully with them. I was also raised alongside dogs who felt far more like kin than my human family.

Lots of images ahead!

[Image ID- a black userbox-style gif with the words 'wolf therian' in the center in cream and two bones on each side]

[Image ID- a coyote therian moodboard with skulls and bones, dark mossy forests, and a picture of a coyote look at the veiwer in the center. It has the therian symbol and a coyote skull overlayed on the main image.] Credit to @/therealcaraxes for the custom moodboard!

[Image ID: the theritingent flag coined here - when one's gender is influenced by their theriotype(s)]

-- the rest of the images dont have ID yet, i will ID later --

Jimin

𝐑𝐞𝐝 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐬 [Intro]

In which temptation isn't all that tempting any longer when you give into it every time, and forevers aren't really forever at all.

Main Tags/Warnings: Vampire!Jimin x Reader, Enemies to lovers, mentions of 'being high' (drug usage in a way), mentions of one night stand

Length: 1.1k words

There is no Taglist for this fic.

A/N: hello hi its been a while since I've written Jimin content

-> Masterlist

⋅ ⋅ ── ⋅ ⋅ ── ⋅ ⋅ ── ⋅ ⋅ ── ⋅ ⋅ ── ⋅ ⋅ ── ⋅ ⋅ ── ⋅ ⋅ ── ⋅ ⋅

If Jimin was to be described as a sin, he'd be gluttony for sure.

He doesn't deny himself anything, is known to be one to go to if you just want to indulge in nothing but mindless pleasure. He still goes to bloodbanks just to the government doesn't get any whiff of what he's doing behind closed door- but he technically doesn't have to. He gets all the blood he could ever want whenever he wants- more than enough.

A knock is heard on his front door. He gets up slowly, still drowsy from both sleep and his most recent blood high.

His highs, these days, are all disappointing however. Be it his blood high or any kind of orgasm he experiences- it's all just empty. It sours his mood greatly, makes him easily irritated- but it might also be just a sideffect from overconsumption. So when he opens the door he's ready to complain- but he sees no one?

Oh. You're short.

"I- uh-" You stammer, gaze locked onto his naked upper body for a second, before you seem to catch yourself again. "My- my friend stayed over at.. your place and.." You mumble, growing especially uneasy it seems once Jimin leans against the side of his door, mood having switched entirely as he watches you squirm around in front of him. He's always had a thing for shy girls- they always turn out to be the most adventurous later on. "..we have a presentation in like.. an hour and she- didn't text me back so?" You worry, and he chuckles.

"Come in." He simply nods inside, pushing himself off the side of his door. "I'll go wake her up. You can wait here." He tells you, pointing towards a very luxurious looking sofa. You sit down quietly, on the very edge of it- definitely on edge because you're going to be late, and you hate being late. You can hear someone get up and into the shower, before Jimin returns to the living room, laughing at the way you sit, finally at least somewhat covered by a dark red morning robe of some sorts.

Though it's pretty useless, considering he barely tied it shut at all.

"Don't be so tense, darling." He teases, walking towards his kitchenette to grab some water from his fridge. "So, what's that presentation about?" He asks, and you look at your hands rather than him as you think about it. Only now does he notice you've actually taken off your shoes at the front door.

So polite, he thinks to himself. Adorable.

"I uh.. it's, kind of, confidential.." You say, and he walks closer to you, boldly sitting down next to you on his sofa, a lot more relaxed than you are. It makes sense- after all, this is his home, his place, you're simply a guest right now.

"Aw, you can tell me!" He jokes, taking a sip of his water. "I promise I won't tell." He hums charmimgly, watching you with interest.

"No." You deny however, and he feels something bubble up inside him. It's excitement. It's something new.

You're something new.

"Hm, alright then." He shrugs, still looking at you. "Say, have you ever been bitten before?" He asks, and your eyes widen, before you shake your head. "Cute. You look like it, too." He comments.

"What's.. that supposed to mean." You complain, and he chuckles.

"Nothing bad." He promises. "Maybe if I ask nicely, you'll let me have a taste?" He wonders, but much to his surprise, you don't seem at all convinced.

"I'd rather not." You say, looking over at the bedroom where the connected bathroom has opened again. "I'm not interested in these things." You say, and he nods.

"No shame in being traditional I guess." He shrugs. "A bit boring for my taste, but no judgement on my side." He lifts his hands almost in defeat, and you just stay silent.

It's not like you're boring or anything. You just don't want to be used like that anymore.

"Though there's more to it, hm?" Jimin seems to smell your inner turmoil, making you fidget a bit on your spot, fingers playing with the hem of your skirt. He's about to say something when your friend suddenly emerges from the bedroom, making you get up immediately- something that frustrates him yet again. It's not like he had a bad time with your friend- not at all, but she's been nothing but the same as he always gets.

You on the other hand, look like you might be something new.

Something exciting.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry-" You friend whines, searching for her jacket. "-I completely forgot, holy shit, fuck!" She curses, making you giggle a bit to yourself- a sound Jimin instantly picks up on.

"It's fine, don't rush." You comfort her, walking closer to her as if to escape from the vampire in the house. "I have some clothes in my car you can change into at work." You tell her, and she turns towards you to hug you tightly, playfully kissing the side of your cheek. Jimin wonders if you like tender gestures like these.

You'd probably enjoy it slow and sensual, romantic even. Not something he usually goes for- but he could make an exception for you, if you'd let him.

"You're an angel, you know that?" She says, picking up her shoes to slip them back on. "Oh, Jimin- uh" She starts, but he waves her off.

"No worries." He tells her, aware that situations like these tend to be awkward for anyone. "Good luck on your super secret presentation." The vampire teases, and your friend giggles.

"Oh it's about-" She starts, but you hold your hand over her mouth, which looks hilarious considering your friend's height.

Jimin laughs. You're cute. You probably taste sugary sweet, he thinks.

"Say, I know you're not like that." He quotes you, walking closer. "But-"

"No." You tell him yet again, smile gone from your face, before you open the door. "Goodbye. Thank you for taking care of her." You bow politely, before you leave his home, and him behind.

Jimin always gets what he wants.

He's a master manipulator, after all, well skilled in the arts of persuasion. He always gets what he wants and whoever he wants. He doesn't run after anyone. He doesn't have to chase shit if he doesn't want to.

But this time, it seems like the hunt is on.

And his prey is you.

Author Ask Tag

Thanks so much @orphanheirs for tagging me!! I'm going to be answering for Haven <3

What is the main lesson of your story? Why did you choose it?

There's multiple lessons interwoven with each other, but the very core narrative of Haven is that we see the past through rose-tinted glasses. It's easier to look back and reminisce, then it is to mold our present life into something we don't feel the need to escape from. You must be willing to make difficult, scary decisions, instead of waiting for life to be what you want it to be. Happiness isn't something you find, it's something you make.

Haven is a very dear story to me, and also the most "me" story I'm working on because the idea comes from what is probably the most prevalent theme in my own life. A lot of times, I create stories with the purpose of exploring and trying to solve something personal, so I was Heather (the protagonist), and I sometimes still am. Especially as the political environment changes, I've felt that this idea of trying not to live inside sentimentality is something that can be relatable to other people, too. There are some ways where life innately is just different now than it was back then, and that can be challenging.

What did you use as inspiration for your worldbuilding?

Haven doesn't exactly take place in a world of its own (minus the transported-into-your-childhood-self's-body-and-forced-to-relive-everything-all-over-again part), but because I actually want this to be an interactive text-based game, I've been thinking of mechanics that could probably count in that direction?

The main idea is Heather's anxiety disorder being a mechanic of its own, which right now I'm just calling Panic. Your Panic score starts at zero, but increases depending on what decision you make (for example, speaking up about something would be +10 panic, while staying silent wouldn't rack up a score). If you're too reckless, you can hit max panic which basically results in Heather having a panic attack, and renders you incapable of making your own decisions for a period of time. In a game where the goal is "be proactive to try to prevent your brother's suicide from happening a second time", that can be potentially very bad. If you're too careful, though, that can also be bad, because, like in real life, things that make you anxious can end up being very necessary, and result in a better overall outcome. Let's say the default Panic "health bar" is 50 points--another aspect is that your overall health bar can increase or decrease depending on a decision you make. For example, if you take the risk of talking to your brother about something, and it results in a bonding moment between the two of you, Heather will feel more comfortable doing things like that again, making your tolerance go up from 50 to 60.

It's also going to be fairly evil because there are going to be times where you genuinely don't have a choice but to prioritize yourself in moments that could be game-changers, so people you care about are just going to have to watch you stand there silently instead of helping them out during their breakdown. Haven is not for the emotionally faint-of-heart.

What is your MC trying to achieve, and what are you, the writer, trying to achieve with them? Do you want to inspire others, teach forgiveness, or help the reader grow as a person?

There's a lot Heather's trying to achieve. She wants the perfect life--she wants her brother back, she wants a more functional family, she wants the wonder of childhood back, she simultaneously wants to stop being so stunted and find agency. She fundamentally wants an amount of love and attention that no person can possibly fulfill, but Beau (her brother) was closest to that fulfillment.

Here's two things I'm trying to bring awareness toward:

1. Children often aren't treated with the respect they deserve. Being a child is often harder than being an adult, even if it looks idyllic. You can't decide what you eat, what you wear, who you spend time with, how you spend that time without someone else's confirmation. If you're like Heather, this is especially apparent and difficult because of Beau's obsessive parenting. She never has a phone or any social media accounts. Visitors of their home can't watch the news because he "doesn't want to stress her out", resulting in her often not knowing what's going on politically. He paces around the room when she's five minutes late. She doesn't know how to make her own food or do housework even once she should be old enough. This ties into Heather's nostalgia and passivity towards her own life, expecting things to go away on their own or even just be solved by Beau himself. Deciding she wants to be the savior is very new to her and she doesn't exactly know how to go about it yet.

2. Tying into not knowing how to be a savior: someone else's suicidality is a very, very complex thing that one person cannot possibly make themselves responsible for. You can do and say the right thing, but in the end, everything is on the other person's terms. You cannot save someone if they don't want to be saved. Like with nostalgia, I think a lot of suicidality is that feeling of being stuck--your life doesn't look the way you want it to, and it feels like there's nothing you can do. There are decisions that can be made for the better; there's just so much risk or sacrifice behind them that it's absolutely paralyzing. The only way out is to take that leap of faith. It can be anything from taking an art class to cutting a big person out of your life. You may not be able to control every bad thing, but even just changing the parts of your life you can control makes all the difference in your perspective. Unfortunately I can't speak in detail about how this applies to Haven without spoiling things, but as we navigate Heather's and subsequently Beau's childhood, we can see that there are a lot of factors involved in why his mental health has developed this way.

It's impossible to make a story completely universal; all of this is just what comforts me, and the conclusions I've come to, personally. But I hope it can be of comfort to other people, too :)

How many chapters is your story going to have?

Haven takes place over the course of 5-7 years, so it may just be divided by year, with sub-chapters making up noteable moments from each year. I have no clue how many sub-chapters there would be, though... Maybe 6? 6 feels like a good number. So depending on the year count, that'd be anywhere from 30-42 chapters. A bit on the lengthy side but sounds about right.

Is it fanfiction or original content? Where do you plan to post it?

It's original content! I'll be using Twine, and when it's done, I'll probably just post it to Tumblr. Or whatever other social media I may be using. I only really use Tumblr.

When did you start writing?

I loved writing 2-4 page short stories in elementary school and passing them around class! Sometimes, they'd be choose-your-own-adventures like Haven. One was a regular story about a boy encountering a slime monster, one was an interactive fiction in an Indiana Jones type labyrinth with spike traps. That's the earliest I remember but apparently I wrote stories even earlier than that. I started actually becoming "serious" about it when I was 12 years old and wanted to write my own warrior cat stories. It all snowballed from there.

Do you have any words of encouragement for fellow writers of writeblr? What other writers do you follow?

I was genuinely scared of making a writeblr for YEARS. It takes a lot of courage to bear your heart like that for everyone to see, but that vulnerability is so necessary and is what makes your WIPs so compelling! Don't be shy about sharing your writing because there's loads of people just waiting to get hooked on it <3 And if you're someone who doesn't have a writeblr but is considering making one, this is your sign to do it!

I've been meaning to follow more writeblrs recently, but right now some of them are @isherwoodj, @finchmomentwrites, @viscerawrites, @nrivanwrites, @by-thorne, @lavender-laney and @sidhewrites!

#wish it was possible for me to not follow all the same people using the same blog #i'm following 300 people so it's hard to find the users of the ones that are writeblr specifically :(#versus if i could follow writeblrs using armentas. that'd be so much easier #tag game #haven #writeblr #writers on tumblr #writers of tumblr

Summary: The Bloodline implodes at Night Of Champions and the readers finds herself in Romans's crosshairs. But lucky for her, Solo has a problem with that.

It's time for the Night of Champions payperview to kick off, and tensions within The Bloodline are already running high. Everyone is settled into Roman's lavish locker room and doing their own things while they wait for the main event to arrive.

You find yourself standing next to Solo, the standard routine when Roman isn't ordering you around. But Jimmy catches your attention from across the room and beckons you over to his and Jey's side.

"I'll be right back, Solo." You dismiss yourself and head over to Jimmy. "What's up, boys?" You ask the twins once you're at their side.

"How you feeling about tonight, shorty?" Jey asks you.

You shrug and glance back at Solo looking as stoic as ever. "As good as anyone, I guess. Solo seems like he's ready. Not that any of us would know any different."

"Right," Jimmy chuckles. "Do you really think that Roman and Solo can beat Sami and Kevin?" He asks you. "I mean, sure they're family. But they ain't no tag team." He reminds you.

"It won't be an easy match, that's for sure," You offer a neutral reply. "Roman wants me out there with Paul for some reason." You add. "Though I can't imagine why. It's not like I can help in any way."

Jimmy and Jey share a look and a hint of a laugh. "You ain't gonna be out there for him, that's for sure." Jey teases you.

"What's that supposed to mean?" You put a hand on your hip.

"Yeah, Roman's only got you out there for Solo." Jimmy explains with a chuckle. "You're his lucky charm."

You feel your face heat up and shake your head. "I am not!" You protest, but the twins just laugh at your embarrassment.

"Hey! What are you three doing over there!" Roman's voice booms across the room and makes you instinctively turn your head toward him.

"Nothing! Sorry, Roman." Your reply leaves your mouth before you can even process it.

Not wanting to get into any more trouble, you walk over to Paul and chat with him for a while. Soon enough it's time for the main event of the night. You exit the locker room at Paul's side and the group heads down to the ring.

Out in the ring, you glance at Sami and Kevin already standing in the ring before taking your place in The Bloodline's corner. The bell rings and the match begins. You watch Roman interact with Sami and Kevin as well as the crowd and you can't help but notice that his behavior is even more egomaniacal and convoluted than usual. In fact, you've been noticing that trend for a few months now.

When things start to look like they are going to take a turn for the worse, you call on Jimmy and Jey to come out and help. The twins come out from the back when they get your text and begin their assault on Sami and Kevin. Your plan backfires, however, when in an attempt to incapacitate Sami Zayn, the twins accidentally hit Solo with their signature double superkick.

"Oh shit!" Your hand covers your mouth in shock at the sigh of Solo getting hit.

You glance at Roman who has now climbed into the ring looking angrier than you've ever seen him. You watch him slip into the ring and immediately confront Jimmy and Jey. He shouts and pushes around Jey for a moment before it happens.

You watch in utter shock as Jimmy hits Roman in the back in defense of his twin. He hits Roman with a superkick after the champ gets to his feet before he and Jey make their retreat. Unsure of what to do now, you rush over to Paul's side just as Sami pins Solo in the middle of the ring for the win.

"Y/N! Paul!" Roman barks at both of you, beckoning you both to the ring.

"Yes, my Tribal Chief?" Paul speaks first, but Roman's gaze is fixed on you.

Roman stares you down and a chill runs down your spine. "What did you do?" He asks you with an icy stare.

"I...I was trying to help." You stutter out an answer while taking a step back from Roman.

"Don't move!" Roman snaps at you. "This was your plan all along, wasn't it?" He snarls at you. "You think I didn't notice you cozying up to Jimmy and Jey? Making plans with them?"

You take another step back, scared for your life at Roman's belligerence. "Roman! No! I'd never!" You try to reason with him.

"Don't lie to me!" Roman continues to yell and reaches out to grab ahold of you.

You gasp in anticipation of being grabbed, but before Roman's hand can reach you, Solo steps in front of you. "Roman! Knock it off! You're scaring her." He defends you.

"Oh, so you're in on this as well now, Solo?" Roman sneers. "If you're not, you'll move out of the way." He challenges Solo.

"You're about to cross the line, Roman." Solo stands his ground. "She didn't do anything. It's all in your head man."

Your heart pounds in your chest as you stand behind Solo. Jimmy and Jey's laugh echo in your mind. 'You're out there for Solo. You're his lucky charm.'

Roman glares at Solo for a moment before finally walking away, you're safe from Roman's anger for now.

Solo turns to look at you, but you can still feel the light sting of tears behind your eyes as Solo leads you backstage.

The walk of shame to the locker room is a tense one, you can still see Roman practically vibrating with rage. When you return to the locker room Jimmy and Jey are nowhere to be found. You assume that they just went ahead and left the arena for the night.

"Why'd you do that?" You turn to Solo, not being able to stand the deafening silence in the room.

"Well, I wasn't going to let Roman hurt you," Solo replies matter-of-factly. "Are you alright? You're still shaking?" He steps over to your side and puts a hand on your arm.

You close your eyes for a second and let yourself calm down. "So what now?" You open your eyes back up and look up at Solo.

"Now, we take care of business," Solo replies. "As long as I'm here, Roman ain't gonna come anywhere near you, okay?" He assures you. "We'll link up with Jimmy and Jey then figure things out."

You nod and find that you're resisting the urge to hug your savior. You're just not sure that you should. Solo sees the hesitation on your face and chuckles. "What?" You question him sheepishly.

"You wanna hug me, don't you?" Solo asks you.

"M-maybe." You blush.

"Come here." Solo chuckles again and holds his arms out for a hug.

You lean forward, pleasantly surprised by Sikoa's offer. He hugs you tightly against his chest. "Thanks." You mumble against his chest.

"Of course," Solo replies. "Now come on, let's get out of here."

WrestleMania Thoughts & Hot Takes!

Disclaimer: this is just my opinion and I feel like I have to say that bc WWE fans can get heated and honestly I'd love to hear your takes just don't be a dillweed lol also this will be a pretty long text post.

Roman Reigns vs. CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins: this is bound to be a juicy one. I kinda see this being really good no matter who wins. I'm more interested in the Paul Heyman aspect of this. I feel like CM Punk is the babyface in this scenario, Seth is the heel with mystery shrouding what he wants out of Paul Heyman and Roman I think we have a unique opportunity to have his character shift in some way because of this match that isn't reliant on the outcome of the match as much as it is Heyman's loyalty. Did Seth maybe get to Heyman's head and he's going to leave Roman for CM Punk? We have a "monkey in the middle" scenario with Paul Heyman this is definitely bound to change the way we see these three and the Shield history on top of this is the icing on the cake.

Tiffany Stratton vs Charlotte Flair: I'm sorry (and I don't think I'm alone in saying this) but I cannot stand Charlotte one bit and I hope Tiffany eats her up. This should be a pretty intense bout and I wanna see Tiffany put Charlotte in her place physically the way she did with that off the rails promo on Smackdown. Also this could be a really good time for Nia to pop up and return if possible. I'm still waiting for that Nia vs. Tiffany rivalry to get it's proper matchup.

L.A. Knight vs. Jacob Fatu: YEAH! this is gonna be a banger. This is gonna absolutely rock I love them both. I'm rooting for Jacob in this one. I know Jacob is still relatively new to the roster and L.A. Knight JUST got that damn belt back but I'm team Jacob if you will. They do call him the Samoan Werewolf after all.

Jade Cargill vs. Naomi: 😤🙏🏼 this is going to be crazy. This whole story has been absolutely chefs kiss some of the best stuff happening right now. Naomi is one of my absolute favorites and has been for a while. That being said I'm rooting for Jade in this one. I wanna see this one be a long match with plenty of close calls. I feel like Jade winning would carry the weight of the rivalry better than having Naomi win. I wanna see something happening that absolutely enrages Naomi and keeps this rivalry on fire and see the threat levels of Jade go up even more and that feels like the best outcome to support that to me personally. This is just the beginning.

War Raiders vs. The New Day: this should be just a solid match. I hope we get some rad high spots from everyone involved and that's most of what I care about in this one. I hope to see a sweet Viking cartwheel. I think I'm rooting for War Raiders to retain but at the same time, the upset of New Day winning would be a great way to continue to carry their heat and they could be the most obnoxious tag champs and heighten the state of the Raw tag division which right now imo is getting severely outshined by the Smackdown tag division which is on fire. On second thought maybe I want New Day to win 🤔

El Grande Americano vs. Rey Mysterio: this is demask Grande or bust for me. I hope it brings more drama whatever happens. I don't really know with this one I just wanna see the demasking of El Grande and some nasty tea.

Gunther vs. Jey Uso: oooo I soooo hope this is a long one. I'm rooting for Jey idgaf what all the haters have to say this is an incredible time for his Main Event nickname to have some weight attached to it. That being said I'm also not opposed to Gunther retaining but I feel like it'd force Jey to have a character shift bc I think if Jey loses its going to break him. It would cause him to sink to his lowest pit. Gunther losing I think would piss Gunther off so bad who knows what would happen after the match. This one feels foreboding.

Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena: John winning this I feel like would make the world stop for a minute. There is some crazy weight to this and I feel like something super unexpected is almost guaranteed with this match, whatever that may be. I'm rooting for Cody but a part of me does want to see John beat the record and see what happens when he does. I'm like... weirdly nervous for this match.

Iyo Sky vs. Rhea Ripley vs. Bianca Belair: Girl this is going to absolutely rock. These three are so crazy talented you know this match is going to have some crazy high spots. I'm rooting for Iyo personally she's is my #1 right now and she has been so disgustingly disrespected by these two I hope she takes advantage of Rhea and Bianca being at each other's throats and swoops in at just the right time to dunk on both of them full disrespect. My dream outcome is she has them both laid out, steps on BOTH of them, takes to the sky and pins them both causes not just Rhea and Bianca but the whole Raw women's division to be coming after Iyo like piranhas. Now our other outcomes and how I feel is if Rhea wins that's probably my least favorite outcome bc right now I want to see Rhea be taken more as heel character and I want to see that hunger in her eyes build. I want to see Rhea fail over and over for the next while only so she finally gets so fed up she goes ape shit and THEN we get another Rhea title run. Her loss is only a win for the future in my eyes. Bianca now if she wins that would start to legitimize the current WrestleMania streak she has and I do think that that would be pretty cool and it has been a while since we have seen the belt around her waist. That being said I feel like Iyo is just starting this title run and I wish to see it legitimized and I hope to see her have MANY future defenses. None of this defense one a month stuff for Iyo I wanna see full throttle night in night out Iyo and this could be the beginning.

Bron Breakker vs. Penta vs. Finn Balor vs. Dominik Mysterio: Lots that can happen here that is for damn sure. I'm not sure who I want to win so I'm just going to go through each scenario. If Bron wins that's good for the title reign that's for sure. Part of me feels like that's the obvious choice but he's also facing a 25% chance of winning scenario. Well he is a genetic freak after all so we may need some Steiner math on that to get true percent chance of winnin'. Penta is still very new and as much as I absolutely adore him and want to see him win I just feel like it's so early in his wwe career the win wouldn't have the weight that I want it to when he does win a belt and he will eventually I know it. Is now the right time I'm not so sure. Finn Balor can this guy PLEASE catch a win for ONCE got damn! I think he needs this the most out of anyone but I feel like Dom is only going to hinder him. Will he finally turn on the Judgement Day because of it? I want to see Demon Finn come back sooo bad and I know the chances are slim but never say never! Speaking of Dom his addition in here screams issues for Finn and a risk for the already fragile Judgement Day as previously mentioned. I really don't see him winning but! If he did Finn would be so jealous who knows what would happen. It wouldn't be a very long run if he won he would become bait so quick bc no one takes him seriously everyone would think "easy shot for the belt" and eat him alive...unless that's what gives Dom his big break... Doubt tho.

Damian Priest vs. Drew McIntyre: this will be a solid match. I'm rooting for Damian. Either outcome this rivalry isn't over. Not much to say here but I am looking forward to it.

Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez vs. Lyra Valkyria & Bayley: this should be fun but definitely rooting for Liv and Raquel. Lyra and Bayley are cuties together for sure but I'd much rather see them be rivals and have this loss be what breaks them into that.

AJ Styles vs. Logan Paul: high spots guaranteed here folks. Lots of flippy crazy wacky moves. I hope AJ cooks Logan. I hope Logan hits some cool moves (as much as I hate giving him any credit) but definitely think Logan winning would be an absolute joke and a tragedy. Logan you don't want none.

And finally... I hope the Boogeyman makes an appearance on the grandest stage of them all. I know his bitch ass has been lurking in the backstage. I see it on Instagram all the time. I hope he slurps up some worms and freaks out all my friends coming over to watch. I miss seeing his freak. Boogeyman for WrestleMania 41!
