Commander Shepard introducing the new squad to Garrus on Omega:

Shepard: I have no explanation for Zaeed. I just walked off the Normandy and there he was, beating up some Batarian.

Zaeed: That description makes me very happy.

[doctor-hopper]

You said you wished to be added to the mistranslation mailing group so I'll send you everything I've come across playing thru SDR2 original. Keep in mind I'm only on chapter 1 right now. I am not a #gamer so I pick it up and play it like once every 2 weeks LMAO.

Also half of this stuff is gonna be copy-pasted from chats I've had on discord with friends but it's the same info :>

i got to this part in the game (seen below) but the wording in the jp version is like "Hey, hey! Now, Hanamura-kun, what did I say?" Komaeda specifically uses ってば which indicates extreme annoyance and is usually used by women (teen girls) so i found it really cute

2. hajime of course doesnt use keigo (polite speech) ever, except when he first meets sonia, he suddenly starts talking politely

3. in the official english version when teruteru urges hajime to discuss dirty stuff with him in private, hajime just says "...no thanks." however a more apt translation would be hajime saying in a very flat voice "I'll have to restrain myself" or even "I'm invoking my right to refuse." (遠慮ておく) the way it comes off is a very dry way of telling him off.

4. there's also a thing in the prologue where hajime thinks, "At any rate, if this is a nightmare, I have no idea if it's even started yet... Sheesh, what kind of nightmare is that?" but in the Japanese version it comes across as more tongue in cheek (if that's the way to put it). it's more like this: "Regardless, I can't even tell if this is a nightmare or not, or even what kind of nightmare... Jeez, what a nightmare!"

5. below are 3 screenshots. The first 2 from the official translations, the third from the Something Awful forums fan translation (before the official existed). As you can see they are quite different.

Here is the Japanese text:

when talking about this with my friend, I said:

As per usual it seems to be a case of the official translation being very literal and the fan translation taking tone more into account. The literal translation is:

Kazuichi: it's an unbelievable thought, but...those two are in a male-female relationship, don't you think so? Hajime: a "male-female" relationship? That is not how a teenager should put it.

The wording is more or less "not befitting of someone of young age", with a heavy masculine/imperative tone (since hajime uses ぞ). I'd personally translate it something like:

Kazuichi: I know this sounds crazy, but...those two, dont'cha think they could be havin' an affair goin' on? (Kazuichi speaks with a slight accent in the JP version) Hajime: "an affair"? You're talking like an old man.

I think an equally as accurate but localized translation would be something like " "an affair"? You *are* a teenager, aren't you?" but that sounds slightly stilted. Hajime also later says only 2 lines later "The more he talks, the more he sounds like a dirty old man." Hence my thoughts on changing the line slightly. All in all I think the fan translation did a pretty good job sliding in from Hajime's initial comment to his thought on Kazuichi sounding like a "middle aged man" (as it is put in the Japanese original). Honestly it's funnier than whatever I could come up with lmao

^in general, Hajime (or Hazime as he was originally known as in the JP version, am I the only one who thinks of this a lot? Anyways...) is very prone to dry/blunt humor. It's kind of similar to Haruhi Fujioka in Ouran Highschool (if you've seen that show). The issue is, a loooot of the text in Danganronpa one and two are translated super literally. This isn't a huge issue all of the time (though is very obvious pretty much in every sentence), but when you have a character who's supposed to be dry/blunt, focusing more on their words and less on the tone and meaning behind the words is why Hajime talks like a Redditor in the English version. Which is a shame, because he's very funny in the Japanese version to me.

Some more points...these are from the top of my head so I am no longer quoting discord.

In Danganronpa 2.5, I think it's the only time Komaeda uses imperative speech? I may be proven wrong once I play thru all of SDR2. Anyways, imperative speech is seen as really rude in Japanese. Of course anime rules are slightly different (many characters ESPECIALLY SHONEN characters will use imperative speech like it's just another Monday) but it's notable for Komaeda because I don't think he's ever used it before. He uses it in 2.5 when World Destroyer slides into his DMs (when he threatens Komaeda and his friends). Komaeda throws his phone on the bed and yells 黙れよ！which is the forceful imperative of "to be quiet". Given the context and Komeada's usual casual but not rude speech, I would actually translate that part as "Shut the fuck up!" the widely available fan(?) translation just has him say "I've heard enough!"

It's a very interesting point when analyzing Komaeda's character especially in 2.5.

Another thing I never understood about SDR2's translation is the removal of accents and certain quirks. Nekomaru talks like a wise old master in some ways...which is totally different from the heavy shonen talk I was expecting (which he has for sure, but I was not expecting that part of him. It actually made me like him a lot more.)

Kazuichi, for lack of a better comparison, talks kind of...gangster-y? I'm unsure how to put it. He would be saying things like "bro is tweakin' skibidi style" or whatever. Again, it makes sense with his character. Kazuichi in his FTEs talks about how people basically profile him without learning who he is. The way he talks only adds to the "delinquent" impression he gives off, which is where Hajime had the initial misunderstanding.

Komaeda uses more filler particles than the average character in the game I would say, at least enough for it to stand out to me. I don't know if Makoto was the same (I'd have to re-check it's been a while), but I've caught him using "redundant" amounts of ね and さ, which would most closely translate as "uh" or "um" or even "like" in English. It's not constant and he's much more well-spoken when he's rambling about hope/despair (ironically), but it was enough for it to be noticeable to me. I just wonder why it's not in the English version.

Of course, all the characters have their own speech quirks as you've probably picked up...Hajime talks very masculine and kind of rudely, Mikan is very polite, stuff like that.

OH! Here's a fun one.

from UTDP. This got completely fucked in English. It's actually one of the worst mistranslations in the series aside from Komaeda's love confession IMO.

I don't blame the translation team wholly because if you look at the original Japanese text...

it's not very clear. But still, I think it's pretty obvious that this is how the conversation was MEANT to go:

Hajime: Komaeda...give me your hand. Komaeda: Huh...? Why? Hajime: "Why"? We're going to do a handshake. Normally, I wouldn't go out of my way to ask this, but... Hajime: Will you be my friend? Komaeda: ...Hinata-kun, do you really think this will mean anything?

This is getting long so I will leave this, because as a translator/localizer this article speaks to me very much. Specifically...

Another benefit to a good localization is that it will be truer to the intentions of the original creators than a strict translation by allowing a Western player to be entertained by it in the same way the creators intended their Japanese players to be entertained by the original – you’re laughing at the same points, and crying your eyes out at the same points, too.

That's kind of why I dislike the official ENG SDR2 translation. It is not very faithful to the emotional meaning of the original text in many ways. And I think that's a very important part about translating stories...

Whew that was a lot. If you aren't already bugged by this, I'll make sure to stop by and send more sometime :] fun fact: according to the SDR2 official art book, Komaeda's favorite food is bread, specifically toast, and he dislikes white rice.

Whoops, I didn’t see this in my inbox until now. I’m not bugged at all—thank you for the lore, and I’d greatly appreciate any more when you have it! I’m not as confident or aware about some of these particle nuances, too, so it’ll be educational.

[hyaesia]

Hi Cat, I am here to annoy you and ask you about your Beach Ep Thoughts ™

With best,

Lavii :3

oh god okay where do i even begin ... in general that was the most devastating ending in fiction ever i think... and i think the sigcorp series might be the only series ever to be able to pull it off. it's crazy how sounding out what we already knew would happen was still so !!! poignant!!! the music was spectacular. the art was spectacular. freebird's commitment to rpgmaker is astounding and i love it (though i know last hour and onwards will be unity)

more specific thoughts:

i loved being able to see more of rox and rob, particularly i love that rob is just a Really Strange Guy instead of the only normal sigcorp employee like a lot of us thought he would be, i think it makes his & rox's dynamic all that much funnier. two weird and offputting guys on totally opposite sides of the weird and offputting spectrum

even though the plot was very In Your Face compared to every other entry in the sigcorp series (this was made to answer questions about IF, after all), there's still so much to discuss and theorize about! i've spent So much time already discussing how i suspect neil died w/ friends (which i could make into a whole other post. tbh) and whatever the hell was going on with the quintessence cast ?? (more on that later)

i loved seeing eva's walls crumble down. she lied about the journey mattering more to her than the ending, of course she did because she works the worst job on the planet and she has to lie to herself to keep going. i can't think too long about her in the very ending asking such vulnerable questions to neil about if he'd really do all those sweet relationshippy things for her or putting her head into her arms and sobbing after he asked how it happened.oh.my god

i genuinely thought the quintessence guys from the teasers would be cameo characters, which yeah they were for the most part! but lunair was so interesting... what did she mean when she said she's something else entirely!! where did she come from why is she in on the simulation with faye!! the only rational thing i can come up with is quintessence being a side-project by neil leaking into the simulations but then that makes her comment before irrelevant... head in my hands

and i love/hate how the Entire series has been a simulation by eva... god especially minisode 2,,, realizing that party Never Happened and it was just her trying to make a happier memory for herself. do you think that was the last christmas neil ever celebrated? do you think she ever really gave him the sound recorder, or was it her present self playing 4D chess with their memories? it'll be a very long time until i can bring myself to replay any of these games knowing i'm being complicit in eva's unhealthy grief habits. well fucking done kan gao .how did you do it

shorter thoughts that don't need their own paragraphs: the minigames were so fun, the spectator mode for xtreme beach was such a fun touch; i loved the ingame confirmation about colin and river being deskmates; i think last hour will be the last hour of neil's life; after kan's tweet last year about last hour & the beach episode being the good and bad ending respectively, i placed my bets on beach being the good ending. i really hope i'm wrong now actually after seeing it; and finally i've already listened to world in a memory 200 times, it makes me nauseous every time

in conclusion: i need to hug eva rosalene so fucking badly

[simcardiac-arrested]

BOO!!!!! sillyguy jumpscare

“looks like a raver ancient built him” - my friend

“i am SUCH a fan of how you make all of your fanocs annoying himbos with unnecessary swag” - my other friend

“he’s fresh sans” - like, two people

so — he’s finally here!!! the Basketball!!!! be warned INSANE and MINDBLOWING loredrop below‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ as well as some general trivia about NWB + some more silly doodles

The Ancients, dissatisfied with the very prominent lack of results the Iterator project was bringing, began having doubts. Perhaps they had gone about this the wrong way? After all, the jellyfish that doesn’t try is the one that doesn’t get caught in the net. It seemed they had made their design of the Iterators inherently flawed — they tried too hard to solve the Problem, over and over and over again.

It was time for something new. An alternative.

And so, the idea for the Anti-Iterator project was brought into the world — a whole generation of Iterators that didn’t try. Some called it redundant, some pointless. But it convinced plenty, certainly enough to make that idea a reality, and the plan came into fruition.

No Way Back was the first created; his name was given to him to signify a turning point, a new era of Iterators. One that would bring with it change and, hopefully, finally, a solution.

so anyway NWB did absolutely nothing except talk excessively about the ancients’ fashion and sometimes ask them for their drip clothes for his collection and also make cringefail music. the project was discontinued immediately

NOW!!! TOP 10 GAMER TRIVIA:

- makes the shittiest sounding music possible, sincerely believes it’s peak art. if you don’t think the same way he’ll say You dont get it. You just dont

- fan of fashion, art & history, but in a normal way (unlike pebbles). really wishes he could have a whole wardrobe of clothes like his creators, but they’re all gone now </3 and even back then when they were all still alive they. did not like giving him stuff (they did not like him)

- one of them did give him the nikeys though

- most of his creators deemed him useless and didn’t particularly care for him. however, some of them (usually the kids) liked talking with NWB, and he enjoyed interacting with them too. he kind of misses the ancients even if they were asses

- is an enigma to his local group: he barely sends messages, and when he does it’s wildly off topic, and literally NEVER about work related stuff. occasionally he’ll drop his “bangers” in the groupchat and ask for opinions. unfortunately most of the iterators ignore him because they find him annoying (and useless as well. very ancientcore of them)

- kind of incomprehensible. he just says things

- doesn’t really have a god complex so he’s generally friendly, open-minded and easy going, but if you’re mean to him he’ll go Wow. Not cool, man. and he’ll probably give you a lecture like a 90s PSA

- calls himself a DJ. doesn’t even have a proper DJ name. probably doesn’t even know what a club is

- fan of nature, enjoyer of life. has no friends and no purpose but doesn’t let it get to him. at least he can make the equivalent of cbat 2 and force every iterator in the world to listen to it

- he’s stupid but he’s also really smart because. supercomputer. however he chooses to not use his brain and instead be silly. he thinks it’s funnier that way

- sometimes sends his music to other iterators besides his local group’s. they also ignore him

- you really can’t tell when he’s being ironic or not, and whether he’s really THAT dumb or if he’s just trolling. one thing for sure — he loves to mess with the stuck-up iterators from his local group if they decide to bother him

- if the ancients had any equivalent of the 80s, he would’ve been a very very big fan of it

- loves animals too. would call slugcat “little dude”

leave your thoughts in the COMMENTS below!!! remember to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE and listen to DJNWB on SPOTIFY (suddenly becomes normal) if you have any questions feel free to ask and i will answer. i love this guy he’s my everything

✩‧₊˚ Let's Get Confused!!! :D ✩‧₊˚

(Star Message 01 - 05 React-os!)

1) Wait, so you're telling me that Blade's storytelling put kids to sleep???

That's quite odd!

I mean, yeah, a lot of what he was saying was confusing the kids. But I would think that, with how animated Blade was being, it would still be entertaining enough to keep them awake. 🤷‍♀️

It's funny how polite Olivine is being about it---spinning it into a positive outcome. Bless your little heart!

2) Uh-oh! My workaholic wife is back at it again! 😂

My mans really does overwork himself...

If I were the Captain, I would've forced a ton of vacations onto him, too! :D

I personally can't really relate to this side of Edmond's personality---the obsession with his work. I'm the kind of person that has had to do way more work than I was comfortable doing in the past, to the point that my personal life was non-existent, but as soon as it wasn't necessary to have such a large workload I didn't push myself to keep up that insane schedule.

Edmond, on the other hand, has just gotten so used to constantly working, that at this point it's difficult to stop...

Maybe it's because he had that sort of schedule for even long than I ever did, since he's a noble? That, combined with his natural integrity/work ethic?

3) Eiden out here validating the fans' comments about the space-appropriateness of their clothes---

---and Blade giving a very reasonable explanation---

I like to think the the tailor also has a devious mind, determined to bring out the maximum sexy-potential of each project they receive (even if their "added elements" will require them to do an additional wardrobe-change later)!

It's also very possible that Eiden's collaborations with them have tainted their formerly-innocent tastes...

😈😈😈😈😈

4) Edmond, sweetie---no offense, but HOW is this any more scandalous than your usual outfits??? 🤨

Is it because your stomach is showing?---No, that can't be it, because the ceremonial clothes in his Knightly Night SSR show his stomach.

Is it because your shoulders are bare?---No, because the shirt in the prison guard outfit of Vigilant Observer is sleeveless...But then again, perhaps the guards are expected to keep that jacket/overshirt on over the sleeveless shirt, so maybe that really is the reason???

I AM CONFUSION!!!

EDMOND, PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT YOU CONSIDER "MODEST!"

It is quite nice seeing Blade and Eiden being so supportive to Edmond, tho.

They see him feeling a little uncomfortable, and Blade immediately reassures him [of the clothes' utility] while Eiden hypes him up. It's so sweet!!!

5) Blade and his not-at-all worrying ideas °❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

Can I just say---I LOVE the fact that Edmond takes Blade's question seriously.

I (along with many other fans) see Blade as strong representation for neuro-divergent individuals; and IRL, many such people act "eccentric" or ask questions that people think are "silly/weird."

So, Edmond taking Blade seriously---just like he treats everything/everyone seriously---without getting angry or annoyed is such a delight! We love to see it!

6) I love it when Blade hops into Robo Mode at the most unexpected times!

It's funnier when the situation is less serious than this, but hey, I still enjoyed it!

Also, the voice-acting bit during this part was fantastic. Blade's voice sounds so cool!

7) Blade, honey---are you telling me you can catch a FUCKIN METEOR all by yourself????

BRUH.

I knew he was built to be a hella-strong sorcerer-murderer robot, but putting his strength in the context of earth-science terms makes it even more insane.

8) It's quite impressive how nonchalant blade is being about all of this... (ᵕ—ᴗ—)

Like, he and Edmond just stopped a FUCKIN METEOR from crashing into the tower and killing people, and he's over here cracking little jokes!

What a legend!

9) So, as soon as I saw this---

---for some reason, I immediately thought of this;

Which is a fine and dandy meme, but I'd say that Blade is completely justified in his assumption that the thingy from the sky is alien tech; it isn't a crackpot theory, an thus, I wouldn't say this meme is completely applicable... But maybe I'm just being too picky with my meme-etiquette. :D

10) Wait, so this isn't even the first time that "starscape creatures" have sent a message to Klein?

🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨

But from what I've gathered so far, the message is just supposed to be a sort of audio message---so how does he know about what kind of environment the starscape creatures live in???

Does the audio talk about where they live??? Do they speak the same language as they do in Klein, or is it somehow possible to interpret the alien language when given no context/prior exposure to that language????

11) Rei, no offense, but you kinda suck at explaining things....

Seriously.

WAT? ∘ ∘ ∘ ( °ヮ° ) ?

Am I just stupid, or did Rei just say the same thing twice but in different ways?

I can't be the only on that doesn't get it, right?

Would this make more sense if I knew more about audio transfer, or like, how radio works???

12) *Voice dripping with sarcasm:*

Oh boy, how reassuring! 😂😂😂

I know for a fact Rei is perfectly capable of making people feel better, but I guess he ain't feeling very charitable right now! (Which, I would think he would be, since they brought him an interesting new thing to research...)

★ End of report! ★

[spectatingspectacle]

What is.......................

Your lore? /silly

(I meant about the whole library spectator deity thing it looks and sounds really cool, mb gang <3)

(I thought it'd be funnier to be vague about it xD)

Ah! My Library!!!!! Okay! So! I've always had a VERY wild imagination! Ever since my little brain could form a thought it's been other-worldly.

My library is basically a look into my head! A collection of every piece of media my brain has latched onto!

I'm a deity because me (and my dad) think they're cool, that's literally why I got into CotL! More specifically I'm a spectating deity because I consider myself as someone who hangs back and watches more than participates.

So! Putting two and two together I spectate the world around me and fun little universes full of fluff, angst, comfort, hurt, happiness, sadness, rage, you name it!

the books in my library are two things, one, fanfiction, two, little portals into it's respective world. It is VERY important they stay in order, otherwise one character from say, Psychonauts, will end up in the Amazing Digital Circus and a character from A Hat In Time will end up in She-R and the Princesses of Power and it's a whole mess to clean up! Yeah the shenanigans are fun, but the cleeaannnuuupppppp...

Tumblr's the first door I have opened into my Library, and I am so happy people are stopping by! The only door I have leads right into the CotL, since I'm obsessing over it right now and it has literally helped me so much in some of my darkest moments.

Maybe doors to the other sections will open up when I'm comfortable enough soon, but for now you can enjoy the CotL section ^_^

Thanks for asking Joff! I'm always happy to infodump it's just the anxietyyyyyy :3

A couple of replies!

I’ve been very busy lately, but I’ll try to reply to everyone properly at some point…

Recently we got an ask about what kind of serial murderes the twst characters would be, and while it’ll definitely take me exactly 100 years to write it, I love the idea. I am very excited about it.

And about a lot of other asks as well… I wish I was faster.

Alright, replies replies. TWST + not TWST!

Anonymous asked:

Er, could my first wish be to bang the genie? 😳

Anon, same. I feel like Jamil-the-genie is so used to hearing “um can I bang you?” the moment he leaves his lamp, he would actually be surprised to not hear it from Kalim lol

Anonymous asked:

What wishes do you think Kalim would ask of genie Jamil?

Anonymous asked:

Oh boy, what will be Kalim's wishes?

Anonymous asked:

Aw, this is the start of a beautiful friendship! I know that in the Starsending event Kalim doesn't really have any wishes for himself, but do you think he would ask something from genie Jamil? Maybe he would decide to keep the wishes for emergencies, and poor Jamil would be forced to wait around hoping to get rid of Kalim...

Awesome art as always btw!!!!

Thank you so much!! <3 I am very happy you liked it.

Keeping wishes for emergencies sounds like a good plan and like something that Kalim should do, and technically this is what he will end up doing, albeit for a different reason lol

I feel like he could have a first wish, and he would ask for something very silly and insignificant, a friend of ours said that he would ask Jamil to cook moussaka for him lol And then…. He would stop wishing. He could get anything he wants to himself, and there isn’t anything that is on his mind right now. So he’ll just keep Jamil around until he gets any cool ideas, ahaha! So pretty much forever…

He would also not set Jamil free because it would never occur to him that he has the power to do so. He could even express some sympathy towards him because sometimes Jamil’s master is bad and they force Jamil to do bad things… that’s not cool :( Well anyways, Jamil, keep hanging out with him for another 20 or 40 years~

thoughts on gavincest?

Yes! We love Ace Attorney a lot. And the Gavin brothers too! But we don’t ship them; they are kind of similar to how we treat the Tweels lol

Still, when we revisit the game, I’ll definitely draw A LOT of Klaviers and Kristoffs. And Apollos, of course… with both of them.

Anonymous asked:

Omg ohshc mention, i was just thinking about how that 'you boys are homosexual supporting cast' scene twst version would be fitting for Azul/Idia maybe?

Omg, would that make the tweels the homosexual supporting cast?? As if Azul and Idia themselves aren’t homosexual?? For some reason it makes the whole joke even funnier lol

Jokes aside, Azul absolutely would run a host-club. He wouldn’t be as active in it as Tamaki, but he would run it alright. Why does he always end up being a pimp of sorts…

Laughter With You | Darkest Man

"Home school is back!" Sharky spoke, as he raised his hands in the air, earning a cheer from all the others there, you, Darkest, Harry, and Filly. "Yes, this is the show where fully grown adults take on school children at maths, science, and history. Plus a bonus round of English for our special guest."

"Yes, I know this sounds unfair, but when you find out who the contestants are for this season, you'll realise that the kids actually have an advantage." Sharky grinned as he looked around to the others, a shocked look on their faces, offended at what he just said, mumbling that what he said was rude although a smile on their faces peaked through.

"So do you guys wanna introduce yourselves?" You laughed, clasping your hands together as you glanced around the room.

This was a new season of home schooled and you got invited on for a special first video. Normally, there would be 3 people battling this 6 year old, named Timmy, but they decided that since it was the first video back for the season, they let you join in for the extra round. (Darkest also may or may not have begged for you to be in a video together to the producers)

Filly started to speak first since he was already at the table with little Timmy starting off, "Hello everyone, I'm Yung Filly, and I like to say a little slogan that goes like yeahh man!"

Harry, Darkest, and you were all sitting on the famous homeschooled couch, going in order to introduce yourselves to the camera.

Harry spoke next, the camera turning to him, "Yeah, uh, my name's HP like the sauce, Harry Pinero, but today I am Quincu Osafia."

"Hello, my name is Darkest Man, aka darkest of men and I, uh, decorate traffic lights."

Everyone laughed, including you suddenly clutching onto Darkest's arm as you laughed. It was so random, but it did make the video all the more funnier, saying the same thing all the time would have been boring.

"Hey there, I'm Allygater, aka Ally and the special guest for today's video!" You raised your hands, as everyone shouted a welcome to you, and you bowed, saying thank you, not forgetting of course to point to the young boy, Timmy, and introducing himself as the other special guest but an opponent on today's video.

The first subject was maths, Filly up against Timmy, and everyone beating him up about how he's definitely not going to win this one.

----

During the middle of Filly's subject, someone's phone began to ring, all turning your heads as you see Harry bending to grab his phone.

Sharky going over to reach and take Harry's phone, "I'm gonna have to confiscate your phone, no phones in the classroom."

Harry protested and repeatedly kept saying, "It's my son." A chuckle came from out of you, looking over at Darkest as he had the exact same thought as you.

"Wait, how have you got a son in school?" You spoke, causing everyone to laugh too, earning a look from Harry as he grudgingly handed his phone to Sharky.

"Wait, wait, what year is this, Mr. Sharky?" You asked, trying to hold in your laughter, as you glanced around at everyone's faces, them doing the same.

"This is Year 2."

That's when you couldn't hold it in anymore. You burst out laughing as you clutched onto your stomach, Filly saying, "Year 2, and you got yute already?" That definitely did not make it any better as you laughed your heart out, tears forming slightly as everyone made it worse by adding more comments onto it.

"Imagine being like, sorry sir, I have to go pick up my son." Harry put on the funniest baby voice ever that got you all cracking up.

"Who picked you up from school then?" Darkest added, As he saw the look on your face, he laughed harder, grabbing your hand as you both laughed together.

----

Darkest smiled as he watched you try and help the kid, with answers against Filly, sneakily coughing and then saying the answer, to which Sharky pretended not to notice.

Both you and Darkest ended up helping the kid at times with the answers to the questions. Despite Filly shouting, "That's cheating," it made it more funnier to do so.

"The answer is," you coughed, "The 80s," coughing again.

"No no Ally it's," coughs even louder, "Harry Pineros time," followed by another cough.

Your eyes widened as you stifled a laugh, Harry sending a glare between the both of you as you just violated his age for what seemed like the 10th time this whole video.

----

It was now science, Darkest's turn. Sharky introduced him, saying that both Filly and Harry have lost against a six year old, but Darkest has the chance to steal the win.

You cheered, whooping, "You got this!"

Darkest's cheeks turned a small pink, a bashful smile appearing on his face as he said, "Aw, thanks babe."

You raised a brow, "Not you, the kid."

A cough choked out of Filly next to you as he started laughing, yelling, "Ain't no way, she just did that to you, bruva!"

Harry and Sharky follow suit with laughter. After hearing what you said, Harry shaked his head with a laugh as he kept repeating over, "Absolute violation. Absolute Violation."

Darkest slumping over, putting his head on the table with a dejected look, although you knew it was fake, you still couldn't help but let a small frown on your face.

"Sorry, love you though, it was too funny to resist." You apologised, sending an apologetic smile Darkest's way. Earning an eye roll from him, making the rest of you all laugh.

"Ok, so, how am I doing so far? What's the score?" Darkest asked Sharky, turning to him.

"It is... 3-3" Sharky responded, a shocked look appearing as he raised his brows. "If you get this next point, you win."

"Wow, babe, I thought you were dumb. But now I guess you're only a little bit dumb." You smirked, Darkest gasped, placing a hand on his chest, taking "offence."

"How could my own girlfriend call me dumb?See Timmy, a great example of why you should never date."

Now it was your turn to be shocked, scoffing as your mouth was left agape, slowing reaching over to cover your mouth with your hand.

Shaking your head as you slowly said, "You. Did. Not."

"Ohh couple scrap!" Harry said, clutching onto Filly's arm as he laughed.

"Not in my classroom anyways, take your couple problems and go." Sharky pointed towards the outer set, the camera crew waving towards you both.

"How are you lot in year 2 and are dating already? Mental." Filly chuckled, remembering what you said earlier about this class being "year 2."

----

You were up next, the other three grown ass men not winning against the six year old. This was going to be interesting, the subject was English. And even though you were from Norway, you were going to ace this.

Darkest wouldn't be able to say anything afterwards when I win. You thought to yourself, a shit eating grin arising.

"Now your question is, how do you spell Asylum?" Sharky asked, looking back down at his notes to make sure he got it right in his head too.

"Wow, fits perfectly for this video." Darkest admitted, crossing his arms over his chest as he leaned back into the sofa.

"And why is that?" You asked, looking down at your board as you wrote.

"Because you're a lunatic." He spoke, plain and simple, gazing straight into your blue eyes. If you looked hard enough, you'd see his gaze soften just by glancing your way.

Harry put a hand on his friend's shoulder, whispering, but it was loud enough for everyone to hear, "That's why you feel in love with her, though, right? You're one as well."

"Aww, that's cute though, innit? I like seeing interactions like these." Filly giggled, watching the both of you.

"I thought he was gonna say because this is on Footasylum, didn't expect that, though." Sharky said as he put down his cards to turn to you and Timmy, as you buzzed first.

Turning to show your board, Sharky looked at you and then his cards, nodding his head, "That is correct!"

You bowed, "See? I can spell."

"Good job." Timmy said in the cutest voice. All of you turned to say, "Aww," you side hugged the little man, saying, "He is so cute, honestly."

You could guess that when you looked up, Darkest's brows furrowed, watching the scene in front of him. Yes, he thought it was cute too, but maybe he was a little bit jealous.

As if reading his mind, "Watch out, Darkest, Timmy's gonna steal your gyal." Filly laughed as he saw Darkest's reaction, earning a smack from the guy.

"HE'S SIX YEARS OLD HE AIN'T STEALING NOTHING."

You smiled, letting go of Timmy, and sitting upright properly. Darkest being jealous was something you definitely didn't know you'd see today but it was cute in a way.

You ended up giving the win to Timmy. Even though Darkest chewed you out for it, he gave you the longest hug afterwards, and you wouldn't have it any other way right now.🫶

This is not necessarily a request, but just a thought I just had after thinking about today being Friday the 13th. Can you imagine your favorites trying so hard to make your Friday the 13th a good one? But they feel like everything they do is making it worse, when in the end it is the best day you've had in awhile?

I am specifically thinking of Takemichi right now, not for me (ew :D) but for you lmao. I feel like he would try so hard to do everything to make your day better. He tries to surprise you with flowers, but it rains and now they're sad and wilted. And though it may not be what he was envisioning, you can't help but smile at the wet dog of a man in front of you. And the rain is fine anyway, it just means he has to get a change of clothes and you two can spend your evening on the couch together. The movie he rented from Amazon prime? Yeah, it won't actually play. There is video but no sound. And you know what, that's fine. You two make your own abridge movie of whatever it is, making it way funnier than the original.

Ahh, simple things in life. Friday the 13th, it's a lucky day I swear. The beings above told me so.

Good afternoon Cheese! It has been a bit, and I hope you are having a happy Friday the 13th. So far... I am accepting my iced coffee cramps like a champion. I am shaking... I am sobbing... Takemichi my honey... He's such a big sweetheart and he does his best... His big round eyes look so sad when he awkwardly presents me wilted flowers... It's okay my darling, I will dry and press them so they will live forever. He even got us a movie but it won't work... Ahhhhhh!~! I'll make up my own voice lines and we can do our best... I wanna kiss his face... It's not his fault... Not at all... The universe gave him these 'problems' to bring us closer.

He's so charming and he doesn't even know it... Takemichi... Please... I want to kiss you... You're my crybaby hero! (//////) <3

[teecupangel]

Ok but.... Pokemon. What if pokemons were real and everyone would have they own team (maybe not 6, but 2/3). I MEAN GHOST TYPE WOULD BE SO GOOD. Also i cannot unsee at least one assassin having Nickit! It's pokedex entry has written that they are very silent and It erases they own tracks with swipes of its tail. THAT IS STEALTH. Also thievul can marks they targets with scent that help them stalks it. Like the bird in newer games. (Sorry for my english!)

(Your English is perfectly understandable :))

I am totally unqualified to make Pokemon teams for AC characters as I have only finished one Pokemon game: Red. I am soooo unfamiliar with all the Pokemons (hell, I don’t even know what gen we are now???). I mean, I played Black, X, and Let’s Go Eevee but I never finished them. XD

So all I can offer you is this:

Desmond gets booted into Detective Pikachu AU idea

And these unorganized notes:

Whatever Pokemons Desmond gets, he must have an Eevee that does not evolve at all. This is to represent his endless possibility. The only possible Eevee evolution I think we should allow is Sylveon because we all know he’s going to spoil that Eevee. Two other possible Pokemons he could have are a CastForm that forever stays sunny whenever near Desmond (and is really more like a pet and doesn’t go to battle) or a Solgaleo. Just… give him a sun-themed Pokemon for the irony.

Going with the Eevee idea, his ancestors all have one specific Eevee evolution. Edward would have a Vaporeon, of course. Altaïr would either have Espeon (a reference to the psychic-like powers of the Apple) or a Jolteon (pokemon.com has Jolteon as the fatest of the Eevee evolutions). Ratonhnhaké:ton would have Leafeon or Jolteon if Altaïr has Espeon. Ezio would have Flareon (because I am mean and making this a Cappadocia reference, sorry Ezio). Haytham would have a Glaceon or an Umbreon. (Or, if we’re killing off Edward anyway, give Haytham Edward’s Vaporeon)

Altaïr would definitely be the cover-all basis type of trainer so, yeah, he’d have 6 Pokemons of various types (some even dual types).

Considering Nickit’s habit of stealing, I can see Edward or Ezio having a Nickit.

Honestly, all of them having a Thievul might make sense. Like they’re an unknown shadowy organization that’s known for (1) wearing hoods, (2) having Thievul and some kind of (3) Ghost-type Pokemon on their team.

I think Mary should have a Gardevoir and that Gardevoir stays with Edward after her death (I mean, if Mary dies in this one. I’m not saying we should kill Mary, just saying…)

Evie and Jacob having Nidoqueen and Nidoking would be funny. Like… their father gave them the Nidorans as their starter Pokemons. Even funnier is if Evie has the Nidoking while Jacob has the Nidoqueen. Or, if you want them to have newer Pokemons, they both received a Charcadet when they were young and Jacob’s evolved to Armarouge while Evie’s evolved to Ceruledge. Just, they should have one Pokemon that’s like different evolutions of the same Pokemon (or opposite of the other’s Pokemon).

I think Shay should have a Froslass as a reference to how Rogue lets you travel to icy parts and how the last parts are set in an icy location (not counting France).

I can’t explain why but I think Arno should have a Greninja and they’d be a tag-team.

Of course, Eivor gets a Corviknight.

I honestly like the idea that Desmond, Altaïr, Ezio, and Ratonhnhaké:ton all have an Alcremie because someone got them to twirl around and strike a pose to evolve their Milcery… who records the entire thing. (I’m betting it’s Edward. It has to be Edward)

Minerva appears as a Gothitelle. Hell, she could be pretending to be Desmond’s Gothitelle. Idk, Gothitelle can predict the future (or just the lifespan of the trainer?), it sounds right that Minerva is Gothitelle or something.

I have this conundrum. I kinda like the idea of Altaïr, Ezio, and Ratonhnhaké:ton having distinct Pokemons related to one another. Now, my first thought would be they would each have Kanto starter Pokemons to show how they’re the first main characters of Assassin’s Creed. Or, you know, they would have the legendary birds of Gen 1 instead to show their legendary status. But, at that point, I thought, why not just give them the Raikou, Entei, and Suicune setup from the Detective Pikachu AU? At some point, my brain goes why don’t they just have a Deoxys each with Desmond having a normal form, Altaïr getting the speed form, Ezio getting the defense form and Ratonhnhaké:ton getting the attack form?

And that’s when my brain gave up and went “Fuck it, give Desmond Arceus. Lol.”

Well it’s that time again… and I am still in the steady sinking boat of getting a whole lotta NO writing done 😂😭 on the flip side tho I have had a sudden interest in my SPN wips again! And uh… one more thing about these sentences… they are all new… like I just wrote them today 😂😂 SO! I give you some NEW sentences from several separate fics! And although this is typed all I hear is Sir Pentious (hello new Hazbin Hotel fixation) 😂

Thank you as always to @hgejfmw-hgejhsf for tagging me 💕 (and also to @onthewaytosomewhere and @taste-thewaste for the WIP Wednesday tags even though I didn’t get to them!) you guys keep me motivated to get these moving 😭💕

1. (David’s Purpose- New David fic based on that movie where King Arthur resurrects into a dog’s body 😀) It really only seemed as if he’d blinked; one second he was looking at the saddened faces of his family gathered around his withering body, and the next his eyes crack open — but only slightly — to a darkened room, and the soft sounds of puppies whimpering.

2. (Untitled — Alex has Premonitions — Fic) He saw Henry — dressed far too formally for the party in a suit with a deep orange tie — he heard his deep infectious laugh; saw his big bright smile; heard his soft voice call him ‘as thick as it gets’; felt hands grasp his face, lips press against his own… then realized he was still sitting in his room waiting for Nora to finish getting ready.

3. (Kiss the Angel- The Little Mermaid themed Destiel fic) “I’m sorry,” the Empty repeated, clearer this time. “It’s just- I don’t know what’s funnier… the idea of you actually thinking you’re right; or the completely impractical idea of ‘what if’ you were right, and Castiel forced happiness on himself when he could have had the real thing.”

4. (Happy Birthday To Me! 5+1 times of Henry celebrating his birthday fic) Henry holds back tears as he looks down at the lopsided cake; Happy Birthday Daddy written out over the top in green icing.

5. (Rewrite the Stars- Henry Amnesia fic) “I don’t bloody care who you are, I want to see my husband!” Alex’s head snaps towards Henry’s room; that was Henry’s voice he realizes, and is up and rushing towards the commotion without a second thought.

6. (Desperado- post canon Desitel fix it fic) The motel is cheap and shabby; so reminiscent of the old days that it actually gives him an odd sense of belonging to be there. He sighs as he lays himself out on the lumpy mattress, half hoping he doesn’t wake to bed bug bites, half hoping he does… if only just to feel something again.

There you have it! Gonna leave this tag open since it’s so late! 💕 gonna go read everyone’s sentences now!! 💕💕

We Might Be Stupid

Pairing: Yeo Hwanwoong x reader

Summary: Your best friend apparently thinks it’s the nineties. You call him to straighten things out.

Word Count: 1.8k

Tags: idiot besties to lovers, resolved mutual pining, implied college au, fluff, humor

Author Notes: this is my first work for the Oneus Trope Bingo hosted by @oneusficevents! I’m using it for my “mutual pining” square. A little nervous about it but it was loads of fun to write, so I hope Oneusblr can enjoy it <3

It isn’t quite acceptable barging hours when you barge into your roommate’s bedroom that morning.

“I—huh?” Your roommate mumbles, startling awake at the sound of the door.

“I need to borrow your phone,” you say, pulse racing. “Please. Since mine isn’t being fixed until this afternoon.”

Your roommate frowns, eyes still closed. “What?”

“Please. It’s important. Please. I need to make a call.”

Your roommate’s eyes blink halfway open and gaze at you, only half-conscious. Your desperation must really show on your face, because they say, “Sure. Uh, you okay?”

“I don’t know,” you breathe, unplugging the phone from the charger and tapping in their passcode. “Probably. I don’t know. Thank you. Be right back.”

You find the phone app and dial the memorized number, putting it to your ear. You glance back at your roommate’s alarm clock as you take your leave and try idly to do a calculation of what time it is abroad, deducing that he won’t be asleep and he also won’t still be working. Pick up, pick up, pick up pick up pick up pickuppickuppick-

The ring tone cuts off early and the line clicks on. “Uh…hello?”

Something about hearing Hwanwoong’s voice soothes the sting of the panic in your heartbeat, even as your pulse continues racing. “You. You sent—you and your—an email?”

“Oh,” you hear him say brightly, recognition in his voice, and then, flustered, “uh—hi. I, uh, I can expl—”

“An email?!”

“I panicked!” Hwanwoong blurts. “You—your phone, it’s broken, I can’t text—can’t call either, how are you even calling me by the way, whose phone is—I didn’t know how else to—”

“Is this 1999?” You ask him, incredulous, pacing, and you can’t help a flutter of laughter. “You tell me you have feelings for me in an email?! I’m checking my email to make sure my stupid philosophy paper was turned in on time and I see you sent me something with the subject ‘Help’ and then a confession?! That could have sat there for who knows how long—”

“I only sent it, like, eight hours ago,” he protests, then splutters, “n-no, really, your phone is broken. How did you get my number?”

“Yeo Hwanwoong,” you sigh in exasperation, “I have had your phone number memorized since we were fifteen.”

“…Oh,” he says, then laughs. “God, I love you.”

“Yeah!” You exclaim, stomach fluttering with something giddy at the words. “And you said it in an email, like this is a Tom Hanks movie or something!”

“I’m—listen!” He defends, “it hit me out of literally nowhere, hard, like, think hit-on-the-head-with-a-cinder-block hard, and it was overwhelming, like what the hell? What am I supposed to do with this? And I panicked and usually I just call you when I’m panicked and I would have but your phone—”

“My phone is broken, yeah,” you say, pulse finally winding down to adagio. Your deep breath is still shaky. “Well, I’m here now. Talk me through it.”

“Out of nowhere,” he says darkly. “Truly. I was just wondering what the hell you saw in that guy you’re talking to right now, anyway, the one you keep asking for advice on, and why he keeps bothering you all the time, and then I tried to be all, ‘well, what would I see in them if I was trying to date them’, and was like, ‘I mean, sure, they’re cute, anyone with eyes can see that, and sure they’re funny, but in the smart way which is even funnier, and also they’re thoughtful and also they’re a good listener, and and and’ and then it just hit me and, I mean! What the hell, dude? I don’t even know how long I’ve felt like this? Is this normal??”

“You get used to it after a little bit,” you tell him, head spinning. Hwanwoong just called you cute. “But yeah, it’s kinda overwhelming at first, right? And scary?”

“Terrifying, oh my god,” he groans. “Like, you’re my best friend, what the hell am I supposed to do now? What if you’ve noticed the whole time and have just been staying my friend to be nice, or something?”

“I didn’t notice,” you tell him, dragging your toe along one of the cracks in the floorboards, “or I didn’t want to get my hopes up, anyway. But you’re right, that’s the vibe, for sure.”

“And like, what if telling you is a bad idea? What if you’ll feel weird now about it, and we can’t hang out and make jokes and get bubble tea on weekends and—hey, wait. Got used to—get hopes up? I—WAIT.”

Your pulse jump-starts into high gear again. “Uhhh. Suddenly I have, um, things to do—”

“Don’t you dare hang up!” Hwanwoong exclaims. “Yah! I’ll call you again! Or whoever’s phone this is—it’s your roommate’s, right? Your roommate will get sick of me! Don’t you dare! You—I—what do y—how do you know how this feels?”

“Um.” Your heart is going to ricochet out of your ribcage. “I…maybe this is, uh, not new? For me to feel?”

Hwanwoong is quiet for a second, then, “About who?”

“Dude, don’t make me say it,” you groan. “It’s already embarrassing enough to talk with you about—”

“Is it that guy? The one you’ve been talking to? Because if it is, he’s kind of an idiot and he doesn’t appreciate your sense of humor nearly enough but like, I can take it, I’ll support you and the mediocre boy, it’s okay if—”

“You! It’s you! You dumbass!” You cut him off, shrill. “You’re the idiot! God! You are absolutely unbelievable! I am hanging up the phone!”

“No, please! Pleasepleasepleasepl—”

“Unbelievable,” you mutter, slumping down onto your bed. “I’m not hanging up, you can calm down.”

Hwanwoong sighs, sounding winded. “What are…why are we like this.”

“Beats me,” you mumble.

“You…have feelings for me?”

His voice is gilded with hope. You want to melt into the bed and die. “I…yeah.”

Hwanwoong sighs again, shakily, but you can hear him smiling. “How…when did you figure your side out?”

You close your eyes and pinch the bridge of your nose, embarrassment prickling under your skin. “….like, two years ago.”

There’s a long, excruciating silence on his end.

Panic bubbles up in your throat. “But like, in my defense, that was the year you suddenly were, like….a man? I-I mean, something…happened, because suddenly you weren’t just a kid my age, you were, like, attractive. Which, like, how dare you, by the way? You were supposed to be my cute little bestie forever, but nooo, you had me helping you post thirst traps, and shopping for clothes you looked hot in, and like, what was I supposed to do? So yeah, I thought I was being painfully obvious and that you were just being kind. But no, you’re just an idiot, but like, I guess I was too—”

“I love you so bad,” Hwanwoong interrupts. “You were in….dude, since two years ago?”

“If you think you get to make fun of how long I’ve loved you when you sent me an email—”

“I’m not making fun of you, I’m, like, pissed,” Hwanwoong says, but he’s laughing. “Like, doing the math, connecting the dots, it’s…yeah, I think I’ve felt like this about you since then, too, which is dumb as hell. All that time, and we could’ve…”

“Ugh,” you say, emphatic, dropping your head back against the bed and glaring at the ceiling. All that pining for nothing.

“We…might be stupid,” Hwanwoong says, still snickering.

Hwanwoong is in love with you. Holy shit. You can’t stop grinning. “You, uh. Wow.” You turn over on your side and grab your laptop, which you’d left open to his email on your bed when you rushed to call him. You begin reading aloud. “‘So in the weirdest turn of events I didn’t see coming, I think I may be, like, really in love with you somehow’. You don’t say. You simp for me that bad, huh.”

“I—you—I don’t—” Hwanwoong starts, then sighs.

You laugh.

“Wait, wait, oh my god, is this why I caught you checking me out all the time?” Hwanwoong asks.

Now it’s your turn to splutter. “I—I didn’t—I wasn’t checking y…uh. Well. Maybe.”

Hwanwoong snickers. “Busted.”

You sigh. “How much longer are you away again? Semester’s almost over. It’s been, like, eighty-four years.”

“Um, lemme check,” he says, pausing for a few moments, and you can picture him lifting his phone from his ear and tapping over to his calendar. “….ugh. Another week and a half.”

“Ugh,” you agree. “Too long. You need to come home so I can go full Spanish Inquisition on you about this.”

“Same,” he says. “When are you getting your phone fixed? It’s been killing me this week not to talk to you like normal.”

“The appointment’s today,” you reassure him. “Should hopefully be back to normal by the time you wake up tomorrow.”

“Thank god,” he groans. “Never drop your phone in the washing machine again, dumbass. I have too many important things to say.”

“You’re always welcome to say them over email now, if you want,” you say, smirking, and Hwanwoong grumbles playfully while you laugh.

“Hey.”

Your roommate is in the doorway, looking freshly showered. “I’m leaving soon, I’m gonna need that back.”

You pout but nod. “I gotta go, ‘Woong, roomie needs the phone back.”

“Yeah, I should probably go to bed soon, anyway,” he says, then pauses. “I, um….”

You don’t prompt him, glad that he sounds as shy as you feel.

“…thanks. For not, you know, freaking out. Well, actually, you did freak out, but, like, not in the bad and annoying way.”

“Thanks a lot,” you groan, and he laughs again, the sound soft in a way that sits comfortably in your heart.

“I….I really do. Love you, that is. God, this is awkward.”

You’re grinning ear to ear. “Yeah, it is. It’ll get better with practice, I bet.”

You pause, then add, “I love you, too. Dumbass.”

“Gross,” your roommate says from the doorway, and apparently Hwanwoong can hear them, because he laughs at that, too, and the sound is so joyous. You miss him a lot, miss seeing how his eyes crinkle when he’s happy. You can’t wait for him to get home from abroad.

“I’ll text you when my phone gets fixed, okay?”

“I’ll be waiting. Tick tock.”

You smile.

“Love you,” he says again, and the way he says it makes warmth zip through you.

“Love you,” you breathe, meaning it, then hang up before you get too embarrassed.

Your roommate is smirking when you hand the phone back. “I’m glad my phone could help you two idiots finally figure it out.”

“Shut up,” you mumble, shoving their arm playfully before going to make coffee. A week and a half. How are you going to survive that long?

GOOD OMENS 2 SPOILERS, READ AT YOUR OWN RISK, JUST STATING MY THOUGHTS BASICALLY

SO MY FRIEND AND I BINGED SEASON 2 OF GOOD OMENS THE SECOND IT WAS RELEASED! What an adrenaline rush pahahahaa to have waited that long, and finally get it, it was a lot, I think we almost died.

(I dunno how to do the "keep reading" thing so have some dots)

.

.

.

.

I honestly would say that season 2 of Good Omens is better than season 1. Nearly the entire thing was Crowley and Aziraphale. YES. They're what I want.

Also, the way the flashbacks were arranged -- perfect! They were longer and more fleshed out and we got continuations of some of them! Huzzah!

Gabriel was hilarious, as usual. Jim was even funnier. Conflicting feelings about Gabriel for most of the season, I started forgiving him towards the end though. The thing with Beelzebub was pretty nice.

It starting off with angel Crowley, he was such a dork, finding out he KNEW AZIRAPHALE THEN, wow! Highlight!

The apology dance was a highlight,

Crowley drinking poison and shrinking/growing and sounding like a Leprechaun was a highlight,

All of Crowley's different accents -- all highlights.

THE FACT THAT CROWLEY IS THE ONE THAT GOT AZIRAPHALE EATING, THE WAY THAT WHOLE THING HAPPENED, THAT WAS CERTAINLY A HIGHLIGHT.

Crowley pretending to be EVIL!!! I didnt fall for it for a second, I was like, yeah okay so where did the goats actually go hahaa! Into the crows, amazing!

Aziraphale with his halo, that was freaking awesome -- he was pretty badass in this season, at some points.

THEM DANCING TOGETHER!!! Jfhsnsnehdiend

The magic act! And it working, even without using actual miracles!

Crowley making it rain, ha, I did that in a RP.

Aziraphale being... look, he's freakin adorable, the way he cradled the, well, the tumor -- I mean, it sounds weird, but it was actually incredibly endearing -- he was very endearing, as always.

THINKING HE WAS GOING TO FALL, and crying about it, and Crowley cheering him up!! YESSS

And... Crowley's realization... SAYING AZIRAPHALE COULD NEVER BE A SIDE PIECE jddjsbdje

Crowley FALLING APART as he OPENS UP TO AZIRAPHALE!!! OUCH! That was like being stabbed, but somehow in a good way, because YES HES SAYING IT, JESUS FUCK

And...

THE

KISS

Like holy-fucking-moly! Dream come true, right there!! I did NOT expect things to go in that direction, I thought we were going to play it safe, and I am so glad that I was wrong. I've wanted these two to kiss for A LONG TIME, I've role played kissing AZIRAPHALE SO MANY TIMES, I've written stories, that was -- well, this was my response at the time: hfjdnelsneksndkwndjskwjznwjs jdneksneksjs disndjsnskw djjwdne idens! LITERALLY A DREAM COME TRUE, NEARLY EXPLODED!!! Like Crowley and Aziraphale literally kissed, mouth to mouth, its canon, it happened, the music swelled, they did it, it's real. Never thought I'd have pictures of men kissing up on my wall but I think I might need to print that out and hang it up, this was not just a highlight of season 2, this was A HIGHLIGHT OF MY LIFE! THANKS FOR THE NOURISHMENT, GAIMAN

and the nightingale thing -- "I don't hear anything" "that's the point, no nightingales", killed me man. THE NIGHTINGGALE, WHY IS IT ALWAYS THE NIGHTINGALE! OW! I DID NOT CRY ABOUT IT, I SWEAR ! ! !

Aziraphale saying I FORGIVE YOU ksndjwnsje I dont understand why he said that when just seconds ago he was saying LET US BE TOGETHER HOORAY, my friend and I were talking and I said, well last time he said I FORGIVE YOU it was after Crowley called him stupid, and my friend was like, well didnt Crowley call him an idiot this time, call back, so maybe that was it,

Aziraphale touching his lips like that after the kiss, holy fuck, A++++, but a painful A++++

and then CHOOSING METATRON!?!? WHAAAAAT?!?!?! I was reeeaaallly hoping he'd run to Crowley and KISS HIM or SOMETHING, but he -- METATRON, NOOoooOooOooo!!! So that was an extremely painful ending. and I realize that for Season 3 to happen, something would HAVE to push fans into creating that build-up and that NEED for another season, but.... OW! how long do I have to live with this pain??? If season 3 is NEVER MADE, it's going to end on this note??? it'd better get made jdbekdnwksn HOLY FUCK, I also better not DIE BEFORE IT'S MADE. I'll be over here, guts out, "cant die... yet... need... to see... Aziraphale and Crowley... make up...! Need... season... 3...!"

So yeah I'll be watching that over and over and over and over and over and over and ov

Regrets

Pairing: Lily x James

Modern AU

Here's part 4 of The Pact. Things are about to get interesting! I'm the author (please don't repost) <3

Masterlist Series Masterlist. Part 3 Read on Ao3

Warnings: truth or dare, 7 minutes in heaven, kissing, angst, alcohol, rejection(but not really)

Word Count: 2,970

Description: Now that they've been snowed in the group resorts to playing games to occupy their time. This leads to some more development between Lily and James.

Taglist: @sylveryfire

I’m bored.” James said, dropping down onto the couch.

“So am I.” Sirius seconded from his perch on the chair’s armrest.

“What should we do?” James asked.

“How about a game?” Sirius asked, excitedly.

“Hey! What about truth or dare?” Marlene suggested.

“Sure, who wants to start?” Remus asked from where he sat on the chair next to his boyfriend.

“I can!” James leaped at the chance to start.

“Wait, before we start, why don’t we make this a little more interesting?” Marlene asked.

“What did you have in mind?” Lily asked, a faint suspicion of where she was going with this.

“Alcohol!” She got up and walked over to the minifridge and pulled out some drinks. Walking back over to the group she placed them in the center of the table.

“Ok, James. Go ahead!”

“Sirius, truth or dare?”

“Dare.” Sirius answered. When it came to him there was no other answer.

After some thinking James dared Sirius to, “Do a handstand.”

Standing up, he moved away from the furniture before doing a handstand. He managed to stay up for a while before James went over and started tickling his feet, causing him to fall. He jokingly admonished him but James just laughed. 

Returning back to his place next to Remus who was sipping a cup of tea unlike the rest of them, well everyone except for Alice, who were all holding some alcoholic beverage. It wasn’t that Remus didn’t drink, he simply preferred to not do it this late. Plus, being the only sober one was funnier. Sirius turned to look at everybody. Over the last few minutes they had all gathered together at the promise of a game. It took him all of five seconds to choose his victim.

“Marlene! Truth or dare?”

“Dare.”

It didn’t take him much thinking before Sirius remembered something that she and Dorcas had been talking about earlier. “I dare you to call that coworker that you said was cute and ask him out.”

“Really?” Marlene asked, sipping on what he thought was beer. God, he hoped it wasn’t the absolute atrocity of a drink, wine in a can. Everyone knew that wine belonged in bottles. Anything to the contrary was just plain weird.

“Yup!”

She took a large sip from her drink for courage, not that she needed any. Picking up the phone she dialed his number and it rang and rang and rang. Grinning triumphantly now that she wouldn’t have to do it she said, “It went to voicemail.”

“So leave him a message.” Lily said, from where she sat on the couch eating chips. She had been given a front row seat to her best friend pining over this coworker that she had met a month ago for weeks.

“Fine.” Marlene got up, holding her phone to her ear.

“No. We need to see you do it!” Sirius called out after her.

“I can’t do it with you all staring at me.” She shot back. Then, audible only to her the phone beeped signaling that she should start talking. All they could overhear were the muffled sounds of her leaving a message. When she was done she came back to the group.

“Done. Ok, Dorcas. Truth or dare?”

“Truth.”

“Fuck, marry, kill. Sirius, Lily, and me. And there is a correct answer.” Marlene said, a devious glint in her eyes.

“Ok, wow. Way to put me on the spot. I guess marry Lily, fuck you, and, I’m really sorry about this, kill Sirius.”

“I’m offended.” Sirius deadpanned.

Dorcas still looked a bit nervous but she was growing more comfortable with the group’s dynamic. It wasn’t easy to join this group of friends, only kind of knowing one of them. But they were welcoming, all of them trying not to exclude her. It was hard, they had all known each other for a while now. Some of them had friendships that went back to grade school. Others were slightly more recent.

“Ok, Lily. Truth or dare?” Dorcas asked.

Taking what was generally considered the coward’s way out she said, “Truth.” She didn’t consider herself a chicken but she knew her friend well. Marlene would do her best to get her back for making sure she went through with her earlier dare.

“You’re no fun.” Marlene complained.

Sighing and rolling her eyes she changed her answer. “Fine, dare.”

“I don’t know what to ask.” Dorcas whispered to Marlene who told her something quietly that none of them could hear.

“Play seven minutes in heaven with James.”

“Now, it’s getting interesting!” Someone said.

“Seriously?” Lily asked Marlene, knowing that she was the brain behind the dare.

“Yup!”

James and Lily shared a look. A silent conversation between just the two of them.

He raised an eyebrow. Are you sure you want to do this?

She shrugged. We might as well.

“Where should we do this?” Lily asked. Both she and James put down their drinks and Lily placed the bag of chips back on the table. She wiped a bit of the chip grease off on her leggings.

“The pantry is probably the best option.” Remus suggested. “It’s really big so there should be enough room in there.”

“Okay.”

They walked over to the pantry and flipped the light switch on. The room lit up instantly. One of their friends had followed them and closed the door behind them, the soft click of the lock snapping into place.

“So…” James said.

“I guess…” Lily started at the same time.

They both stopped.

“You can go first,”Lily offered.

“No, you go.” James insisted.

“So I’ve been thinking.”

“That’s never a good idea.” Lily teased.

He ignored her remark and repeated himself. “So, this whole fake dating thing has gotten me thinking about when we first met. Correct me if I’m wrong but it seemed like you liked me back then. As more than me being friends with Remus so you had to get along with me. I guess lately I’ve been wondering what changed? I know you were dating Sniv-- Severus for a while but afterwards you still acted like I killed your dog or something.”

Lily grimaced,“Well, for starters he told me about what you were like back in school. When I was dating him it was partially just loyalty to him and my relationship with him. That, and I didn’t particularly like the fact that you used to be a bully. None of my interactions with you made me dislike you. Except that one time when you said that I deserved better than him.”

“So what you’re saying is that younger me screwed me over?” James said in disbelief.

“Yeah, pretty much.”

“But what about after you broke up with him? You still hated me afterwards.”

“I guess it became a habit. I’d gotten so used to hating you that I didn’t really see past the fact that you had changed. I knew that. Before I met Severus I thought I knew who you were and then he came and changed that image. Even after everything, it was difficult changing that.”

“If you want I could just stay away from you. All you have to do is ask.”

James’ words warmed Lily’s heart. “I know. It’s just I feel like the more time I spend with you, the more I see who you really are and it makes it hard for me to understand how I wasn’t able to see that before.”

“So what are you saying?” James asked.

“I guess I’m saying that maybe I can give you a chance.”

“That’s more than enough for me. Thank you.”

“No, don’t thank me. I should have seen through the way he portrayed you. Remus and Sirius would tell me what a good guy you are, that you had changed but it was so hard to believe them even though I trusted their judgment.”

“I really, really like you Lily. If there’s a chance that you can at least come to see me as a friend I will wait as long as it takes.”

She opened her mouth to respond but was cut off by the sound of their friends unlocking and opening the door. The looks of disappointment on their friends’ faces was bordering on comical. They may not actually be dating but it might have been a good idea for them to at least look like they were making out. But at least, thought James, we finally got to talk. Nothing else mattered.

They all continued their game of truth or dare with much drinking and snacking in between sharing secrets, funny dances, and kissing. Alice got dared by Marlene to recite the alphabet backwards which was a challenge sober but she had recently decided to crack open a bottle of wine so she was now bordering on tipsy. Everyone was cracking up at the impressions James was doing of various actors. To finish the night off Remus was dared to do his best animal impression. They were all amazed at how accurate his wolf howl was.

“Yet another of his many hidden talents.” Sirius bragged which caused Remus to blush a little. Lily was glad that her friend had such a wonderful boyfriend. She hadn’t known him before Sirius and Remus were together but from James’ stories that he had told her when they first met the two of them had both been pining obliviously after each other for years before they finally started dating. They were, in Lily’s opinion, soulmates. She was happy for them but also a little jealous. She had hoped that she would have found someone just as perfect for her as they were for each other.

It was to no one’s surprise when Dorcas retired early. Alice wandered off to call her husband so she could say goodnight to her son. Remus and Siirius headed off to watch a movie and to nobody’s surprise, Remus snagged the rest of the chocolate as they both headed upstairs. James wandered off leaving Lily and Marlene together. Lily wished she could tell her friend the truth, she hated lying to her. She could have just said that she didn’t want to date anyone and Marlene would have respected that.

“I feel like we haven't had a real talk in ages.” Marlene said.

“Me too.” Lily agreed.

“So fill me in, how is it going with you and James?” Marlene asked.

“It’s going better, it was a little rough at first.” Lily responded. It was true after all. Things had hopefully improved after their talk earlier in the pantry. At least she didn’t have to lie about that.

“What do you mean?”

“Well, it was kind of hard at first. I had hated him so much that it was difficult to fully change how I saw him.”

“But you did or else you wouldn’t be dating right now.” Marlene pointed out.

“Yeah.”

“I’m happy for you guys. You look so cute together!”

Guilt washed over her. How was it going to look when they broke up? She took a gulp from her cup before thanking her friend.

“Anyway, how are you?” Lily asked. “You don’t really talk about work unless it’s about that guy you like.”

“I guess that’s true. I actually got a promotion about a week ago.” Marlene said.

“Congratulations!”

“Yeah, it’s nice. I got a raise and a better office. There’s only one problem. I’m now answering directly to my boss. She’s nice enough but she’s also a perfectionist. If something isn’t done how she wants it she’ll make it known.”

“Oh, that’s too bad.”

“We’ve become closer though lately. I think she trusts me. She’s given me a lot of big assignments lately so hopefully that means that she’s not five seconds away from firing me.”

“That’s good. I’m glad that there’s nothing too bad going on. But you know that if she does end up firing you you can always come live with me right. I’ve got some extra space.”

“Thanks Lils, that means a lot.”

“You’re my best friend. I’d do just about anything for you.”

“Even hide a body?” Marlene asked jokingly.

“Even hide a body. I can’t afford for you to go to prison, who would I depend on for relationship drama?”

“You’ve got some of your own now.”

“True.” Lily admitted.

“I’m sorry about Petunia. I know you wanted to spend time with your family.”

“Yeah. It’s easier now, I miss my parents a lot but I’m glad they aren’t around to see how distant me and Petunia are now. I sent Dudley a gift and a card so hopefully he won’t forget I exist.” She laughed bitterly. Her tense relationship with her sister was one of her biggest regrets. They used to be best friends growing up but now Lily’s lucky to see her sister and nephew two or three times a year. Part of it she realizes is because her brother-in-law doesn’t really like her. The feeling is mutual. But he loves her sister and spoils their son rotten so she can’t hate him for that.

Her friend smiled sadly. The holidays weren’t really a good time familywise for either of them. That was one of the reasons they became friends, they had stayed in the dorms over winter break. Marlene’s family was always traveling for work and ignored her unless she got in trouble. She would shrug it off and pretend it didn’t bother her but it did.

Leaning over, Lily gave her friend a quick hug before saying, “I think I’m going to head to bed.”

“Okay, good night!”

“Good night!”

Grabbing her wine glass she poured some more in before heading upstairs. Maybe it wasn't the best idea considering she was already feeling a little dizzy but she was on vacation. She was allowed to let loose once in a while. Her mind a little fuzzy, she walked into her bedroom where she was treated to a shirtless James laying on the bed reading. He always wore glasses but for some reason they looked hotter than normal on him.

“Heyyyyy!” She said, almost tripping over the place where the carpet started at the doorway.

“Hey Lily.”

He was a bit shocked that she was still holding a glass of wine without spilling any. It was a near thing though a couple of times as she walked over to her side of the bed. Pulling off her sweater, she was left in a tank top and leggings. She became instantly cold and got in bed, snuggling under the blankets. She was still cold.

Scooting over to the other side she pressed against James’ side, her face near his chest. Under normal circumstances she might have protested his shirtlessness but in her slightly tipsy state she was willing to ignore it. Or at least not focus on it. On his warm skin, his well defined chest that showed he was still working out in the mornings. He had offered for her to join once or twice but she had been too busy with work and then…no. She wasn’t going to let him ruin this moment. Her shithead of an ex didn’t deserve one thought from her.

Peaking over his arm she looked at what he was reading.

“A sports book? Really?”

“Hey, you can’t judge. You’re the one that reads dictionaries for fun!”

She sat up to look at him. “That was one time! Who told you that?”

“Remus might have mentioned it when you first applied for the job at the bookstore. He said you carried that fact around like a badge of honor!”

“Of course I did! It’s impressive.”

“I’m not saying it isn’t.” He said, amusement coloring his voice.

Their gazes locked and she couldn’t help her eyes flickering down to his lips for a moment. Maybe it was their kiss the other day in the snow or maybe it was the wine but she wanted his lips on hers now that they couldn’t be interrupted by flying snowballs and meddling friends.

Placing one hand on his warm, firm chest she leaned in closer. She pulled his glasses off of him carefully and set them on the table beside the bed. Her lips brushed his and he didn’t pull back. One of his hands moved to her hip and the other closed his book. She kissed him slowly, exploring. Her tongue darted out to lick his lower lip causing him to make a sound deep in his chest that could only be classified as a growl.

Kissing her back, he let his book fall away so his other hand could delve into her hair. They kissed for a while, Lily’s hands exploring the smooth contours of his chest. One of her hands slowly drifted down to the waistband of his pajama pants. Her fingertips drifted under it, making their way further down when his hand wrapped firmly around her wrist.

“Lily.” He groaned. “We shouldn’t do this.”

Startled at his words she pulled away. Not letting him get a chance to explain, she got up, grabbed her sweater and a blanket, and walked out of the door. She walked downstairs and laid down on the couch. Curling up underneath her covers in her little nest she fell asleep after a while.

Laying on the bed, James watched her go. In retrospect he probably should have phrased that differently. He hadn’t expected her to just walk out before he could explain that what he meant was that they shouldn’t do this while they’d both been drinking. He hoped that she would listen to him in the morning. And if she still wanted to kiss him he would have absolutely no problem with that. With that thought echoing in his head, he turned the light off, pulled up the blankets, and fell asleep.

OC in 15 or Less

Thank you @sergeantnarwhalwrites for the tag! Anyone is welcome to hop on, and I’ll tag @bloodlessheirbyjacques @tryingtimi @magefaery just in case you guys would like to join, no pressure 💖

The rules are to use 15 lines of dialogue or less that capture the vibes or personality of your character. Bonus points for being able to do it with one line, but it’s okay if you need more than one for context.

For this one, we’re doing Will from Freaks Of Preston. I tried to capture both his dramatic and funnier moments, but I’ve come to the realization that this kid is in desperate need of a personality lol

————————————————

1. “What for?! He doesn’t even love me!” Will rolled up his sleeve, revealing the pale scars that ran across his arm. “I’m his little burden, the curse on his family— Why does he insist on keeping me?!”

2. “I just got you back. I’m not losing you, never again.”

3. He hopped off the bed in a flash, ignoring the pain that shot through his legs, and the spinning in his head.

“Where is he,” Will said, “did he make it—”

“Will, you can’t get up yet!” Sarah pulled him back. “You have to rest.”

4. “You can call me anything, really— except William.” He scrunched his face up. “Or Willy. That just sounds like an old man.”

5. “How can you stand it?!” The boy waved his arms wildly. “They talk all sweet and act like they’re sorry, but they never even liked Jason to begin with. They’re glad he’s dead!”

6. Will grinned. “Is that… disco? The cheesy, seventies disco music that you rolled your eyes at six years ago?”

Jason shoved the CD back onto the shelf, clearing his throat excessively. “You didn’t see that.”

“No, I think I did.”

7. “Pay them no mind,” Vesely said. “They’re going to be bitter. You’re not to blame for it.”

Oh, I know, Will thought, an unamused frown flickering across his face, believe me.

8. Jin poked his shoulder. “So when’s the wedding, huh?”

Will huffed. “I just found out that people can be attractive, I don’t think we’ll get to ‘marriage’ levels for a while.”

9. “Yeah, it sucks to be sick all the time. On the other hand, I haven’t slept this easily in years.”

10. “I only started fighting because you made me. I wasn’t trying to be a hero or a god… I just wanted my family back.”

11. “There they are, the triumphant heroes!” Henry hugged them both over the side of the couch. “You survived your day with that old devil and his family. How do you feel?”

Jason and Will let out a simultaneous “ehhhh” of fatigue.

12. “I know a lot of you are hurt, but we need to get you out of this car in case it collapses. If you can move, I want you to head towards the door in the back. I’ll help any of you who are injured.”

13. “I get it, okay? I’m a filthy fucking Freak with no place in your world, and nothing I do will ever be enough for any of you. I’m sorry you have problems with us, but I really— really— don’t care! There are people up there waiting for us, and I’m gonna make sure they get to see their families again. Can we at least come together on that?!”

14. “I spent so long trying to pretend I was Human, and I hated it. There’s so many amazing things I can do, if I just stop hiding who I am.” Will stared at his hands. “I want to be proud of myself, for once.”

15. “Take whatever you need from me, just leave them alone.”

Battle scars

Honestly this is the most inconciistent watch of all time show I have ever done at this rate I will finish in 3 years

Anyway Battle Scars

These little fighters look like mini phantoms

Wrecker does not like pets except Batcher

That is one strange looking lizard. That could apply to you as well Cid

Maybe it’s because I am listening on new headphones but this episode sounds way different. I would say better. It’s definitely not worse.

Cid is a great example of a horrible boss she sucks ass

20 cartons of Mantel Mix? That’s me ordering a billion Girl Scout cookies or boys out popcorn

Rex! Rex! Rex!

That’s not your ugly side may be one of the funnier pieces of dialogue in the show so far

Oh great another clone! We hate you cid

That’s a long story. Preceded to tell the rest of the clone wars

Being dead in the eyes of the empire has its advantages.

This episode is hilarious. Because of the wrinckles on your face

I wish we had more Rex and Omega interactions

Wow my new headphones are doing wonders

He wants to cut open my head. I don’t know why but it has such a southern twang

God the establishing shots in this show are just amazing

Just to think Cal Kestis is somewhere out there. It would make a great fan fiction (it has)

I know I go on and on about how good the kiners are but they are good

Fives one and only mention in the whole show. This still makes me mad.

Did Rex serve in the battle of Geonisis? I feel like he did. They keep mentioning how old he is.

You know it’s so much better to watch these without having to take a thousand screenshots

Whoever thought wrecker crossing on a small rope was a good idea was not the brightest bulb

Also “are you all right? No!” Another funny moment

It’s trying to give Wrecker that Hawk Tua

Hey the scrap rats that Cal mentions on fallen order! Neat

Also I am watching this in Spanish in the hopes it will improve my Spanish lol.

Talking about order 66 in front of Wrecker is a bad move

How about we do not mention Kanan

Wrecker is scary as hell when he is evil

Okay now that I actually have good headphones I need to give mad props to the sound people of the bad batch. They do not get enough love

Christ omega is such a small bean. Someone protect her cause the batch sucks at it.

A video game level where an Order 66 wrecker hunts you down would be scary and fun as hell

But wrecker I am your friend breaks my heart

She is so sure of herself I love that for her.

I always forget there is no gender neutral term like kid in Spanish it’s always Nina or Nino anyway enough about Spanish

Wrecker tried his best. But even when she was scared as hell. Omega forgives him.

I think this episode is great at showing you never should give up the fight against fascism. Rex is a true patriot. I love him for it.
