Sansa’s Hair/Jon Snow

The Real Honey Colored Hair(Spoilers Extended) 

EXTENDED

Every reader knows the great song, The Bear and The Maiden Fair, and everyone knows all the theories about Dany/Jorah, Jaime/Brienne. But every single theory misses the most important point. What exactly is honey colored hair? Most everyone assumes honey-blond.... it’s easy to remember, it fits the theories easy, and in martins story it is indeed a type, but not the one your supposed to find.

Dany, Jaime are red herrings. The entire song itself is the story of TWOW. The tourney in the Vale, most lords not selling food, the NW and wildlings and Northerners needing to buy food now that Jon has a loan... and yes Jon is the dancing bear. How? He is a figuratively adopted son of Jeor Mormont. He is given the family sword, trained as Mormonts replacement, is chosen LC after Mormonts bird chooses him.... Jon is a bearded bear. All black (NW black), and dark brown, hair and beard....

Who is his three companions? Pyp, Grenn, and Edison Tollet, who has family in the vale. More than likely. So connections, and there is one more, the goat.

Now this one is tinfoil so far, but he is the hooded man in winterfell. The Blackfish. Who disappeared from the story, and has not gone to any loyal holdfasts, cannot go to the Vale.... But has been described as a goat.

Her uncle listened silently, heavy brows shadowing his eyes as his frown grew deeper. Brynden Tully had always known how to listen … to anyone but her father. He was Lord Hoster's brother, younger by five years, but the two of them had been at war as far back as Catelyn could remember. During one of their louder quarrels, when Catelyn was eight, Lord Hoster had called Brynden "the black goat of the Tully flock." Laughing, Brynden had pointed out that the sigil of their house was a leaping trout, so he ought to be a black fish rather than a black goat, and from that day forward he had taken it as his personal emblem. AGOT Catelyn 6

In AFFC Brienne 5, the high road to the Vale is closed by now. Leaving one loyal area, the Neck. Where the last nobles who went south were headed to find Reed, and deliver the verbal orders. Basically he is the reason the Frey’s disappear. His job in Robb’s army was the outriders.

But back to the point, honey isn’t just honey-blond. It’s actually the color least associated with honey colored hair. The darker the honey, the stronger the taste.... and it is shown throughout almost all the books. Darker honey is brown and looks red in the light.

The first time honeyed hair appears, it is a redhead. Yes a redhead. And tyrion knows women and women’s assets, so we should listen.....

Two other girls sat playing at tiles before a leaded glass window. The freckled one wore a chain of blue flowers in her honeyed hair. The other had skin as smooth and black as polished jet, wide dark eyes, small pointed breasts.” ACOK Tyrion 3

Freckles are a common occurrence with redheads... But by the time we get to Tyrion 7 we have read to much and forgot when we get the actual hair color.

Is milord feeling unloved?” Dancy slid into his lap and nibbled at his ear. “I have a cure for that.” Smiling, Tyrion shook his head. “You are too beautiful for words, sweetling, but I’ve grown fond of Alayaya’s remedy.” “You’ve never tried mine. Milord never chooses anyone but ’Yaya. She’s good but I’m better, don’t you want to see?” “Next time, perhaps.” Tyrion had no doubt that Dancy would be a lively handful. She was pug-nosed and bouncy, with freckles and a mane of thick red hair that tumbled down past her waist. But he had Shae waiting for him at the manse.” ACOK Tyrion 7

Funnily enough, she is a combination of Sansa, and Ygritte. Long haired like Sansa, pug nose and bouncy breasts like Ygritte. Ygritte is ACOK Jon 6 for her pug nose, shaggy mop of red hair that is messy, and ASOS Jon 3 for her breasts...

So red heads are honey colored. And associated with blue flowers in their hair, so let’s see some other examples....

A dark young man and a pretty blonde woman were sharing a horn of mead. A pregnant woman stood over a brazier cooking a brace of hens, while a grey-haired man in a tattered cloak of black and red sat crosslegged on a pillow, playing a lute and singing:” ASOS Jon 1.

Val is blonde.

Val looked at him with pale grey eyes. “He always climbed too fast.” She was as fair as he’d remembered, slender, full-breasted, graceful even at rest, with high sharp cheekbones and a thick braid of honey-colored hair that fell to her waist.” ASOS Jon 10

Pale grey eyed, honey-colored hair.....

Val stood beside him, tall and fair. They had crowned her with a simple circlet of dark bronze, yet she looked more regal in bronze than Stannis did in gold. Her eyes were grey and fearless, unflinching. Beneath an ermine cloak, she wore white and gold. Her honey-blond hair had been done up in a thick braid that hung over her right shoulder to her waist. The chill in the air had put color in her cheeks.” ADWD Jon 3 Grey eyed once again. Honey-blond hair.

The light of the half-moon turned Val’s honey-blond hair a pale silver and left her cheeks as white as snow. She took a deep breath. “The air tastes sweet.”” ADWD Jon 8 And in the moonlight honey-blond hair is a pale silver.

Then Ghost emerged from between two trees, with Val beside him.”

“They look as though they belong together. Val was clad all in white; white woolen breeches tucked into high boots of bleached white leather, white bearskin cloak pinned at the shoulder with a carved weirwood face, white tunic with bone fastenings. Her breath was white as well … but her EYES WERE BLUE, her LONG BRAID THE COLOR OF DARK HONEY, her cheeks flushed red from the cold. It had been a long while since Jon Snow had seen a sight so lovely.” ADWD Jon 11

And here we go, eyes are BLUE, her long braid the color of DARK HONEY..... Jon is not seeing Val... it’s the same thing that happens when he sees Melisandre..... he sees who he lies to himself is Ygritte..... but when does Ygritte have LONG reddish brown hair? Jon knows one female with LONG REDDISH HAIR. Who currently has CHESTNUT HAIR. SANSA.... Martin makes a great distinction between honey in the hair, reddish, dark honey, brown and honey-blond. You are supposed to get sucked into honey-blond and miss the true honey.

But the answer lies with Jon 6, and Ghost himself brushing against Jon, Jon is receiving visions, or glimpses of the future while still conscious. Basically he has become one with ghost already. It first truly started when Jon takes the new recruits to the hearttree to swear their vows. He smells better, sees better....

In the shadow of the Wall, the direwolf brushed up against his fingers. For half a heartbeat the night came alive with a thousand smells, and Jon Snow heard the crackle of the crust breaking on a patch of old snow. Someone was behind him, he realized suddenly. Someone who smelled warm as a summer day. When he turned he saw Ygritte. She stood beneath the scorched stones of the Lord Commander’s Tower, cloaked in darkness and in memory. The light of the moon was in her hair, her red hair kissed by fire. When he saw that, Jon’s heart leapt into his mouth. “Ygritte,” he said. “Lord Snow.” The voice was Melisandre’s. Surprise made him recoil from her. “Lady Melisandre.” He took a step backwards. “I mistook you for someone else.” At night all robes are grey. Yet suddenly hers were red. He did not understand how he could have taken her for Ygritte. She was taller, thinner, older, though the moonlight washed years from her face. Mist rose from her nostrils, and from pale hands naked to the night. “You will freeze your fingers off,” Jon warned.” ADWD JON 6

Once again the night came alive, Jon’s senses are massively increased. He thinks Ygritte because men see what they expect to see. Same with Sansa and her unkiss, her dream thing of Payne coming up the tower stairs. Lady is dead yes, but notice how Martin describes her, Lady’s Shade. A proper noun. Not a common shade.

And as a bonus, in the TWOW Alayne 1 chapter, Harry described his new baby momma like this:

Saffron is very beautiful, tall and slim with big brown eyes and HAIR LIKE HONEY. Alayne raised her head,” more beautiful than me?”

Google Saffron.... it’s a red spice... RED. The most costly spice by weight in the world....

Now here’s Sansa described as her Alayne persona....

And at Winterfell, Sansa was a little girl with auburn hair. My daughter is a maiden tall and fair, and her hair is chestnut. Men see what they expect to see, Alayne.”” AFFC Alayne 1 It’s almost the exact same description. Auburn Sansa is the true honey haired wench. Who loves to dance.

And as we have been shown throughout every book, men do see what they expect to see... especially when one is glamoured..... And to show that really pale blond hair is not true honey,

He doesn’t like Ned. The squire seemed nice enough to Arya; maybe a little shy, but good-natured. She had always heard that Dornishmen were small and swarthy, with black hair and small black eyes, but Ned had big blue eyes, so dark that they looked almost purple. And his hair was a pale blond, more ash than honey.” ASOS Arya 8

BUYER'S MEMO

Market price rises due to popularity of drifting

Due to the popularity of drifting and the so-called "oni camp", the used car market price for the A31 Cefiro, which has become popular as a base car with such specifications, seems to have gone up. Of these, the most popular is the twin-cam turbo sports cruising model. As far as this grade is concerned, 1.2 million yen is still a ridiculous amount. Additionally, unfortunately, there are fewer cars in normal state.

The Autech version, which is the vehicle we photographed this time, is produced in extremely low numbers, so even if you can find a good one, it will definitely be quite expensive.

PIC CAPTIONS

By adding a large turbine to the RB20DET and changing the cam and port shapes, it produces 225PS, an increase of 20PS.

The genuine leather-wrapped steering wheel that fits comfortably in your hand is made by Italvolante, Italy. This is also an equipment exclusive to Autech.

Aluminum wheels made by PIAA exclusively for the Autech version Cefiro

The size is 6JJ x 15, which is the same as the normal one.

Autech version exclusive emblems attached to the left and right sides of the front fender.

Carefully tanned Connolly leather

The seat is fully equipped with adjustment mechanisms such as dual lifters and lumbar support.

Exclusive seat and door trim made from genuine leather made by British company Connolly, which has a luxurious feel and has been used on many famous European cars and luxury cruise ships.

A trunk with a mechanism that turns into a tray and armrest when folded down. Also trunk hood

A special rear spoiler is installed.

The same rear multi-link suspension as the Silvia is made up of multiple links and ideally controls tire movement according to road conditions. The basic movements of running, turning, and stopping exhibit extremely high levels of grip.

Demonstrate your ability to move.

Early type sports touring. After MC in 1992, all cars were 2.5 liters with 3 number plates.

Since the Autech version was also slightly changed after the first MC, there are two types: an early type and a mid-term type.

Anti-high-soccer cars that bring a new sensation

Cefiro is a car that is often seen in towns and mountain passes with a strong negative camber and is considered to be a representative example of a demon-camber spec car. Nowadays, we have a strong image of such a drift machine, but when it was first announced, it had a very different impression. Under the catchphrase ``Kuneru Asobu,'' the product was sold with a strong personality and a unique coordination system that appealed to the new sensibilities of urban comfort enthusiasts. Eventually, as this new sensation wore off, another side began to attract attention. Well-made suspension with multi-link + HICAS-II, high-power engine, and FR...

A new sensation sedan introduced during the Mark II's heyday.

Today's sedans are said to be ``sluggish'' due to being pushed around by buskers and the like, but 10 years ago it was often said that sedans were enjoying the spring of the world in the mid to late 1980s. I was in a situation where I was.

Among these, the upper middle class has seen particularly rapid growth. This must have been an expression of the consciousness that all 100 million people are middle class. Under the name High Society, the popularity of the white Mark II continues to grow.

He was showing great strength.

It has a sense of class that will make you look good wherever you go, and the equipment is full of Toyota's hospitality. Armed with this feeling of ``I can feel safe with this,'' the Mark II is my father's favorite. It received a lot of support not only from users of different generations, but also from young male users who wanted to be popular with girls. No. 2 Nissan was the one most anxious about the Mark II's dominance. The R31, which debuted in 1985, shifted the Skyline, which had gained a fixed fan base due to its sports orientation, to a luxury route. We carried out major reforms.

However, this makeover ended up being a failure.

Waru. Therefore, Nissan came up with the next step, which was to create a clear model compared to the Mark II/Chaser/Cresta, which differed only in design taste.

The method was to pit three cars with different personalities against each other. The first stage of this was its debut in September 1988.

This is the first generation Cefiro that was visible. Incidentally, Nissan would later launch the Laurel in December and the R32 Skyline in May of the following year, completing the upper middle three-car alliance.

What is difficult here is the character of each car.

That's it. As for the existing models Skyline and Laurel, the former is a return to and evolution of a sports saloon, while the latter is a re-proposal of the luxury sedan model with a slightly defective essence sprinkled on it. The problem is the new model Cefiro, which is a new model whose core users are relatively young people in their early 30s.

It was positioned as a sensational sedan.

The focus is on style and packaging.

What's new about Cefiro?

Multi-link suspension adopted at the rear,

DUETIS S with integrated control of supersonic suspension and electronically controlled power steering, HICAS-II 4WS with maximum turning angle of 1 degree.

The focus is on style and packaging.

What's new about Cefiro?

Multi-link suspension adopted at the rear,

DUET-S S with integrated control of supersonic suspension and electronically controlled power steering, refinement of HICAS-II 4WS mechanism with maximum turning angle of 1 degree. There were many points of interest in terms of mechanics, such as the straight-six RB engine that achieved sharp response due to its improved performance but what stood out most of all were the styling and packaging. Although it was a sedan, its rounded design, which resembled a monoform rather than a three-box design, was innovative and seemed to be a direct commercialization of the direction Nissan had proposed at the motor show with its concept cars CUE-X and ARC-X. The basic packaging is long and low nose/short and high deck, which is typical of European cars, but what was new about Cefiro was that it didn't emphasize this too much and unified the whole car with a softer image.

Details such as projector headlamps being adopted as standard for the first time, this collection of lights, and rear combination lamps placed in continuous black garnishes on the left and right sides emphasize a new sense of style. In any case, the Cefiro had an exterior that made you think, ``Wow, this is a sedan with a shape that has never been seen before.''

Also, the grade is “Cefiro Coordination "

He developed a unique method called "coordination." All engines are 2-liter inline 6-cylinder, but cars equipped with SOHC RB20E are used for town riding, cars equipped with DOHC RB20DE are used for touring, and DOHC+ turbo RB20DET specifications are used for sports driving.

Three types are available under the name Lusing. There are two types of suspension: DUET-S S is comfort and HICAS-II is sports. Additionally, three interior styles are available: dandy, elegant, and modern, and you can choose any combination of these.

It had become a system.

9 body colors and 2 types interior

If you include the interior base colors that have been set, there are over 900 combinations, which is amazing. The Cefiro Coordination, a ready-made choice system, is said to be a great weapon for people in their 30s who are particular about comfort in their lives and are particular about food, clothing, and housing.

The production team must have calculated this.

Yosui Inoue's TV commercial ``How are you all?'' and the catchphrase ``Kuneru Asobu,'' which seems obvious but is not very clear, also helped to attract attention, and Cefiro quickly became a popular model immediately after it's appearance. The Cefiro was certainly groundbreaking at the time, offering a new design and the natural beauty of its styling as the antithesis of the upwardly mobile, high-speed car line . However, because its freshness was its selling point, there was a strong tendency for it to become a trendy product, and although at one point the three-car alliance was steadily increasing the number of units sold, it gradually became less popular.

Cefiro slows down. In 1992 in addition to widening the body with moldings and installing a 2.5L engine, minor changes were made to the the design in the direction of diluting its characteristics, and although it ended up being a car with a long lifespan of 6 years, it fell into a rather obscure state in its final years.

The second generation, which appeared in 1994, was integrated with the Maxima and transformed into a full-fledged three-number FF saloon.

Although it lacks the strong individuality and new proposals of the first generation, it continues to exist today as a popular model that maintains the basics.

However, the interesting thing about the first-generation Cefiro is that in recent years it has suddenly come into the spotlight as a handling machine for the mountain passers. Touring manual transmissions, which were an overwhelming minority at the time, fetched unusually high prices, and people finally replaced ATs with manual transmissions.

It even created a movement to convert. The most important factor behind its popularity is the affordable price of a used car, but I think that behind its popularity is the freshness and youthfulness that the original Cefiro still has.

It is analyzed that the effect is small.

A sporty saloon where you can seriously enjoy FR

Now, it's been a long time since I've faced Cefiro.

faced. Secretly “oni campaign”

I was scared that someone would come.

However, the test car was the Autech version that was released in January 1990. This is a special Cefiro based on the sports cruising model of RB20DET+HICAS-II, which has a +20PS power increase using a ball bearing turbo, harder suspension, full aero parts, and a Connolly leather seat.

The price is nearly 800,000 yen higher than the normal model, which is why the initial monthly sales target was 30 of them, so how rare is this model?

I know it's Del.

I have no recollection of test driving this Autech version when it was new, so this will be my first experience. Compared to normal sports cruising, the engine power is clearly superior, and although it seems that the effective boost rises at a slightly higher rpm, it is truly powerful from around 350O rpm to the rev limit of 7500 rpm. This time it was an AT specification, and this one is also set to take advantage of the engine's characteristics to pull the car to its limit. As you might expect, the shift shock is quite large, and if you drive like this all the time, the load on the AT will be considerable.

I'm worried that this will happen, but anyway...

The speed of a modern 2-liter sports sedan

There is no big difference when compared to.

As a high power FR with great driving abilityit is quite stable. So that's why you can attack to the fullest.

Drift machine with demon camp specifications

This image may make the Cefiro seem frivolous, but the true nature of this car is that it is a sporty FR saloon that was built with great seriousness. Therefore, I seriously want to master the movement of FR without making any strange modifications.

This is the perfect machine for those who

want do this.

Part Ten

I realized while writing this part that the description used, while vague, is likely to not included all body types when it comes to the Reader. Sunny is described as fitting into a shirt that either Phoenix or Bob could fit into, and I want to preface this with the fact that I wrote this as a midsize person, who does fit into a Men's Size Large shirt.

I recognize that is not the case for everyone, and I do not intend for my writing to offend or upset anyone. I do not subscribe to the idea that a woman, like in Sunny's case, or any other person needs to be able to fit into their partner's clothing. I myself do not fit into my husbands clothing and that is more than okay! In fact, it is moreally neutral!

If any of this makes you uncomfortable, feel free to skip this chapter.

Sunny woke to a blanket of darkness, the night sky still starving off the morning sun, the smell of cherry tobacco light in the air. Her body feels stiff, likely from the awkward position she awoke in. With a stretch of her arms, her elbows both pop, the sound unpleasant to her ears. She throws her legs over the side of the bed, untangling the sheets from her body as she goes. A gentle sigh leaves her lips as she stretches the lower half of her body, rolling her ankles and flexing her toes. 

After a moment, she takes in the sight of her dress. The skirt is wound around her upper thighs, no longer covering most of her lower half. The sticky nametag from the night before is still stuck to the fabric. She looks around the room, eyes searching. Then she spots the small, crudely folded pile of clothes at the end of the bed. 

Sunny pulls her dress over her head, the fabric causing static to dance up her body. She throws the now wrinkled dress over the bottom of the bed before slipping the shirt over her naked top half. Who needs a bra, right? The shirt fits around her body, pulling just a little tighter around her butt. The dark navy shirt sports the words US NAVY across the chest, the navel emblem underneath. It's well warn soft, like it has been through the wash a little too much. Sunny then slips on the shorts. They are short, the t-shirt falls past them, down to the tops of her thighs. 

Sunny then pulls all of the pins from her hair. The relief is almost immediate as each pin finds itself in a pile on the long dresser across from the bed. Sunny runs her fingers over her scalp, letting her hair puff out of the twisted style she had it back in for almost twenty four hours. 

Sunny's eyes ache and the bloodshot color surprises her, even in the low light of the room. It shouldn't. Every woman has spent a night crying and paid for it in the morning, but the deep circles under her eyes and the reddened whites of her them take her aback. That's when the thirst hits her- the dehydration from crying having wrung her body of the extra moisture. 

She eyes the bathroom door with a thin lipped expression. Sunny could go in there, but there's always a chance that Bob didn't close his door. She couldn't chance waking him by flickering on the light, and she didn't trust herself to find her way around the new environment in the dark. Her luck, she'd knock something over and wake Bob. She couldn't have that, so her gaze flickers to the door to the hallway. 

No one is going to be up this early, she justifies, before slipping out the door. She closes it behind her as softly as she can, the click of the lock catching her attention. Sunny's eyes go wide at the sound. She sputters for a moment before jiggling the knob back and fourth, attempting to open the now locked door. 

"Fuck," she whispers hastily to herself, her forehead coming to rest against the cold wood of the door. She jiggles the handle one more time before deciding to venture to Natasha's room. When she gets there, she knocks, her knuckles as quiet as possible on the hardwood. 

No answer. 

She tries again, a little more forceful this time. Her knuckles hurt. 

Nothing. 

"Fuck," She mutters again. Sunny chances a look towards Bob's door before deciding better of it. She is not going to wake him just to get back into her room, and with Natasha out cold, she has no other choice up to go back to her previous task, getting water. 

Sunny patters down the hallway, keeping her footsteps as quiet as she can outside Bob's door before she disappears down the stairs. Her hands follow the textured walls, searching for a light switch when she meets the bottom. The kitchen is just to her left, the light switch not too far away. 

She flicks in on before going through the hanging cupboards. It feels strange, going through someone else's house like this. It's not like she is snooping, but somehow it still feels like an invasion of privacy. 

Spices, no.

Tupperware, no.

Plates and bowls, no. 

Cups and mugs, ah ha!

Sunny grabs a mug from the shelf. It reads, "Proud Pilot, Prouder to not be Air Force". She can't help but chuckle a bit dryly at the saying. Definitely something Natasha would say, she thinks, as she fills the mug with water from the tap. 

The water goes down like it's the first drink she has had in months. She grimaces a bit at the taste, having become accustomed to the water in Colorado, rich with natural minerals. Water here tastes different, maybe too smooth. She drinks another two glasses anyway before filling it up for a fourth time. Sunny wraps her hand securely around the mug before flicking off the light and returning to her bedroom predicament. 

She knocks on Natasha door one last time on her way by, her ear pressed to the cold wood. She can hear Natasha snoring softly on the other side. The sound brings a small smile to her lips as she tucks that little factoid in her back pocket to use for later. 

Then, Sunny walks back to her door. She tries the handle one last time and it doesn't budge. There is nothing she can do now, unless she wants to risk waking Bob- she doesn't. So, she slides her back down the door, leaning up against it. She pulls her knees to her chest, head leaning against the door jamb. She rests the mug next to her, letting her finger dance over the rim, taking in the light smell of cherry tobacco from down the hall as she fights off the ever growing urge to sleep again. 

---

Bob couldn't sleep. No matter how often he turned over, adjusting his body or the sheets around him. He flipped the pillow so often that neither side was cold, he stared at the ceiling until he thought a hole might open up and suck in through. He prayed for sleep, and when that didn't come, he asked the universe to grace him with an alien abduction. Anything to get him out of his mind and closer towards rest- and if that meant that he needed to be abducted and put to sleep so that another life form could prob him for scientific gain, so be it. 

When the aliens didn't come either, Bob finally decides that he needs to get out of his bedroom. He pulls on his clothes from the night before, finding them each in their own degrees of inside out and wrinkled. As he pulls his belt through the loops of his jeans he can't help but let his gaze drift towards the bathroom door. He knows that Sunny is not more than fifteen feet away, just on the other side of the bathroom- which is another reason he needs to get out of his room. Hell, he needs out of the house. So, he finishes dressing, pulling his shirt over his head and replacing his glasses as he heads for the door. 

The sight of his cowboy hat on the hook next to the door stops him in his tracks. He looks at it for only a second before swiping it off the hook and continuing his trek out of the house. He knows his home like the back of his hand, so he navigates it completely in the dark, disappearing out of the front door with almost no sound. 

Darkness still has ahold of the sky, it's blueness deep and cavernous. Bob swears he can almost make out Cygnus, the swan, but the light pollution from the city makes it difficult to be sure. As Bob climbs into his truck he yearns for the clear sky's of Florence; the ability to see the constellations without difficulty. 

He remembers being able to see Sunny's face, with the light of the moon and stars on their prom night. He remembers how the low light shown in her eyes and off the embellishments of her dress. He remembers how he hair looked with the light of the moon shown upon it. 

The thoughts come faster than Bob can stop them, and he finds himself itching for just a bit more of her, a bit more of that night, a bit more of his life before he blew it all up. His hand drifts to his back pocket in search of his cigarette case, but he comes up empty. 

Bob huffs in exhaustion, turning on his heel to walk the block back to his house. He's thankful he didn't make it further before realizing his mistake. He retraces his steps slowly, slipping in the front door silently. He is met with expectant darkness as he stalks up the stairs, his boots feeling heavier with each step, weighing him down. 

What Bob didn't expect, however, is Sunny's sleeping form propped up against the door of the guest room, her head leaned against the door jamb. Bob blinks a few times from his spot just atop the landing as he tries to make the scene before him make sense. He can't make out much more detail than the way her body is slumped against the door and the way her forehead is pressed against the jamb, but he looks at her anyway, truly taking her in for the first time since her arrival. 

He dares a few steps closer after she doesn't stir at his presence. His boots sound impossibly loud against the hardwood floor. Suddenly, Natasha's idea of a carpet runner for the hallway didn't seem so silly. 

From closer up, he can take in just a bit more detail. The way her hair has fallen into her face and the clothes she has changed into. His heart beats just a bit faster as he takes in her new clothes, from the barely there shorts that stretch around the fullness of her thighs to the t-shirt that hands loosely around her shoulders. The partially obscured graphic causes him to lean forward just a bit, squinting his eyes. 

The large, golden crest the peaks out from beneath her arm makes his heart hammer against his chest, his ribs almost cracking under it's pressure. Bob knows that shirt, and he knows that if Sunny were to lean forward the words "NAS LEMOORE" would be printed across the back, right across her shoulder blades. 

Bob bites at his lips, sucking them back into his mouth, between his teeth. Natasha has never been stationed in Lemoore, not that Sunny would have known that to, but the fact that she now lays in it, asleep on the floor makes Bob blush red. His feelings are all tangled up in his chest, knotted together and pulled tight. 

But the longer he looks at her, the more uncomfortable she looks with her back pressed against the door. So, Bob takes a leap of faith, stepping closer and closer to her before he kneels down beside her. He carefully takes her wrist in between his thumb and fingers, lifting it slightly to move it from atop the mug. He takes the mug in his other hand, moving it down a few feet and out of the way. He sets her hand carefully over her stomach, sandwiched between it and her knees, right along with the other. 

Carefully, he brushes a thumb across her cheek, his touch barely there. Her skin is just as soft as he remembers and he can't help his but let his thumb run over her cheek once more. 

"Sunny," He whispers, his barely making it to his own ears. 

She doesn't stir. He shakes his head to himself, a feeling of longing deep from within now bubbling to the surface, coming to sit just under his skin. He lets out a deep sigh before trying again. 

"Duchenne, honey?" The name feels foreign to his tongue but the term of endearment feels right at home. 

Sunny still doesn't stir. So, Bob debates his next move. He could wake her, and risk her yelling at him again, or worse, punching him. Not that he wouldn't deserve it. No, he couldn't chance a bad reaction. 

Plan B, he thinks, he could hook his arm underneath her bent legs and slip his other between the gap of her body and the door. He could pick her up and take her back to bed himself- but that seems like a bad idea. What if he woke her? How would she react? 

Bob's eyes drift to Phoenix's door and he decides that's the best option. So, he stands, moving towards her room. When he knocks, he can hear her snoring from his side. He knocks, but there is zero surprise when she doesn't wake. Bob tires the nob but it doesn't move, not that Bob is surprised by that fact either. She has always slept locked in her room and nothing short of an alarm at full blast, right next to her ear would be enough to wake her. 

So, Bob turns back to Sunny, left with only one real choice. So, he squats down next to her, lacing his arms around her body and lifting her from the ground. She makes a small noise at the change but doesn't wake. Her head rests against Bob's shoulder, her cheek pressed against the softness of his shirt. 

He bends a bit to open the door, but the knob doesn't budge. Bob lets out a sigh, the pieces falling into place. She has been locked out, of course, that damn lock has been temperamental since he moved in, but never bothered to fix it. 

So, he walks her down the hall and into his bedroom. It's strange to hold a woman in a room he has never invited one back to- it's even more strange that the woman in his arms in the one he has held a torch for, for so many years. 

Bob tries not to let himself think about that fact for too long before he is carefully opening the bathroom door and carrying her through. When he finally gets her back into her room, he places her carefully down on the sheets. They have gone cold in the time she has been gone, so Bob pulls the sheet and comforter up over her body. He stares down at her a second, brushing her hair from her face. Her lips curl up at the corners and the sight warms Bob's heart. 

Quickly, he disappears back out into the hall to retrieve the mug of water from the ground. He places it on the bedside table, right in reach for her. Then, he grabs a hanger from the closet. Bob takes her dress from the bottom of the bed and carefully threads the straps over the arms of the hanger. He hangs it up on the nob of the closet door, right in her line of sight. 

Then, Bob chances one more look at her sleeping form. He lets his eyes trace down the slope of her nose and over the plump ridges of her upper lip. He watches for a moment as she breathes just a bit deeper as she snuggles further down into the blankets. 

"Goodnight, honey," Bob whispers, before disappearing back into his room, his heart still stuttering in his chest. 

As he closes the door, he catches a glimpse of himself in the mirror. There stands a man he hasn't seen in years, looking more like a kid staring back at him. He is all consumed by the sight of himself, from the hat on his head to the clothes he wears. Bob slips his glasses off, leaning closer to the mirror. A deep, doe eyed expression stares back at him, his brown eyes swimming with the sight of himself. He looks older now, than the last time he recognized himself like this, but he recognizes himself none the less.

He leans against the countertop, hands planted firmly on the edge of the sink. It might be his proximity to Sunny, or the clothes that fit around his muscular frame, but his lips quirk up into a hint of a smile. His eyes dart around his own face in the reflection of the bathroom mirror, and for the first time in God only knows how long, he likes the man staring back at him. 

And somehow, he feels just a little bit closer to the man he yearns to be; a good man.

Day 2 - Time Loop

Fandom: Fire Emblem

Character(s): Hubert

Type of Request: 31 Days of Oc-Trope-R

Warning(s): Mentions of blood, mentions a couple more brutal ways to die (not too descriptive, but still), major character death

Note(s): Requester asked for every loop to have Hubert as the enemy besides one! There are some angsty parts, but I did my best to give it a happy ending.

"No, no, NO!" You yelled as your fist hit the ground next to the fallen body of the man you knew. The one that was pierced with an arrow this time. You'd think you'd gotten used to this. That you'd grow numb, but you haven't.

You've seen this body mangled, broken, electrocuted, burned, and now shot with a damn arrow. You've seen so much blood sometimes and others, not a drop. The only constant had been the lifeless eyes.

And then you watch as everything begins fading out. Like it was glitching before going to a white space. And you wake up in your bed, back at the academy, not yet sorted into your house.

The outcome is the same. It's always the same. The man you grew to love through the first three loops, the man that you tried to save in so many ways, the rest of the routes, and the man that you always broke down next to as his dead body laid on the ground every single time.

You go through the motions, you try to be cheerful, but you're losing hope. Even looking at Hubert brings you pain as you want to talk to him but know that you won't be able to. Because every damn loop made you, his enemy. Like whatever damn time deity didn't care about your happiness.

You barely paid attention as you were walking to take your lunch plate of hardly touched food back to the kitchen staff. You barely noticed that you ran into someone. A sigh left you and you opened your mouth to apologize, only to meet the glare of the man that doesn't love you yet. And that glare makes you decide to do something that you haven't done every route that you dedicated to him.

You snapped at him. You had enough of slowly worming your way into his heart, saying and doing things that you know makes him fall in love with you. Why should you waste that time when he's just going to die? You were tired, you were exhausted, you told him to watch where he's going. Yes, it's your fault for running into him, but you didn't care. You were exhausted. You were ready for him to snap back or curse you or something. Instead, you got an amused chuckle and he walked away. That's fine with you, the less time with him, the better.

Except the universe laughed because now you ended up in the same house as Hubert. Your jaw dropped when you found out and you swore you felt the smirk from Hubert, who undoubtably had something to do with this. Maybe he was going to be the one to kill you this time.

And this time feels so much different than any other time. Yes, you've gotten to know Hubert before and fell in love in the other loops. But this time, you're his classmate. You sit in the same room as him every day. You hear the answers he gives during class. You hear how he truly feels and thinks in regard to the empire and Edelgard. While you had snapped at him in the beginning with the intention of pushing him away, you feel yourself growing even closer.

But then war approaches. And it's so different this time because Hubert approaches you. He asks you to join Edelgard's side and go against the academy. Against the other students that you had gotten to know in your previous loops. Against your close friends and people that you have learned the names of their families and even met in those loops. And you feel your heart breaking for a different reason.

Hubert living had always been the goal you wanted in the other hell-like loops you went through. But now that you seem to be on the path to that goal, you realize that there's even more sacrifice you have to make.

You had been with the Blue Lions many times before. You had befriended the stoic Dedue and helped Dimitri through a dark and dangerous time he was going through, you'd seen the suffering both had to endure and saved them.

You had also been with Claude and his Golden Deer. You had laughed and cried with all of those dorks and promised Hilda many times to attend the balls in her kingdom wearing the most ostentatious clothing possible.

And your heart truly breaks because can you really go against those friends and close allies of the past to be with the man you love? Hubert sees your hesitation and gives a nod. He turns to walk away, and, in that moment, you make your decision. You follow and take his hand. The smile he gives you is almost enough to make you not think about how the bodies of your friends will be the next to haunt you.

You never grew numb whenever you saw Hubert's death. It haunted and plagued your mind every time. Seeing the deaths of your friends, your once allies, that had hurt. Edelgard had at least convinced some of them to your side and that made things a bit better. But it still hurt to watch as some refused and fell, dying in the same ways that you saw with Hubert.

The war grew to a close and you waited. The final scene that you ended at every loop approached and your eyes fell to Hubert, as they often did. You both had already spoken at length, he had asked you to marry him when the war had finished. And now approached the hour of his death.

You fought by his side, making sure to protect him. This wasn't something new that happened, but now it felt like this really is the last chance you'll have. And when you saw the arrow at the last second, your breath left you and you heard a groan from behind and a thud.

You slay your opponent quickly before running to where Hubert's body lay, tears in your eyes as you knelt next to him. A wave of relief hit you when you saw his eyes open and a frustrated look on his face as he broke the arrow that impaled him.

"Damn archers," he muttered and looked to your tear-stained face. An amused smirk crossed his. "Did you really think I'd die from a single arrow?" An urge to smack him came across your mind, but instead you pressed your lips to his as the sounds of battle died in the background. You kissed Hubert as silence fell before cheers erupted as the war was won.

You kissed Hubert as the loop had broken and you stood across from him, a ring on your finger and your marriage finalized.

W r i t i n g s t u f f !

I like writing! :) I wanna write more, but figuring out what to write is usually my Achilles' Heel— so that's why I'm taking writing requests! Only really writing for Twisted Wonderland, as well as my OCs!

State of writing request box: C L O S E D !

Please try to be specific with your requests (for headcanons, a specific type of Reader, for fics a specific scenario) because sadly, too much freedom makes it harder for me to get ideas ; ;

I can write either short fics or headcanons

VERY open to just straight up out-there requests. The more specific the better honestly! I welcome all the freaks here!

No NSFW (Suggestive/implied is ok tho!)

No breaking-up style prompts. But Angst is VERY welcome! I’m also very very open to writing prompts that include things like past abuse, mental illness stuff, and generally darker topics. Yandere stuff, too!

Lilia, Ortho, Grim, NRC staff, Gidel and any Family Characters will always be platonic

I won't currently write for: Epel, Lilia, Che'nya, Rollo, Fellow Honest, Gidel, Skully or any Book 7 characters — I just don't feel like I have a good enough understanding of them to write them yet.

I ALSO REFUSE TO WRITE ANYTHING FOR CROWLEY THAT IS NOT HIM SUFFERING BECAUSE I HATE HIM WITH A BURNING PASSION

A request is always allowed no matter the subject material! Just know I might not write some that make me uncomfortable. ADHD + school (+perfectionism) means requests could take a little while, so please be patient— it doesn't mean I've forgotten about it or am ignoring it; I'm just a slow writer, hehe…

I WILL LITERALLY DIGITAL KISS YOU IF YOU ASK ANYTHING ABOUT ANY OF MY OCS THEY ARE MY BABIES AND I LOVE THEM TO DEATH. I WILL PRIORITIZE ANY OC ASKS BECAUSE THEY ARE MY BABIES AND I AM B I A S E D

Mini Fanfic #1181: The Return of the Mishimas (SSBU X Tekken X Fire Emblem)

10:45 a.m. Smash Mansion's Outdoor Patio........

Owain: (Sitting on the Grass and Panting Along with his Cousin, Lucina).......FINALLY!......I've never been....more happy.....to reach Break Time.....in my whole....life......(Looks Up at the Sun While Letting Out a Relaxed Sigh Before Getting a Drink of Water From his Bottle)

Lucina: Tell me about it.....I.....almost....forgot how....huge....this town......truly is......(Forms a Small Smile) Still, I can't thank you enough for accompanying me on my workout routine, Owain.

Owain: (Chuckles Lightly) Think nothing of the sort! I'm always happy to spend my morning working up a sweat and muscle gains, with you, my dear cousin.

Lucina: Likewise. (Claps her Hands Before Getting Herself Back Up on her Feet) Okay! Break's over.

Owain: (Eyes Widened in Disbelief) Already? But we JUST sat down!

Lucina: (Starts Wiggling her Finger in a Lecturing Fashion) Now, Owain, can't let our Break-Time distract us from our training sessions too much, no matter how luxurious it truly is. (Takes Oit Something From her Workout Bag) Besides, now that we're out here, I figured it would be the perfect time to start our next portion of the routine. Catch! (Toss Owain his Sword)

Owain: (Let's Out a Gasp as Catches his Sword Successfully) We're having a sparring match?~

Lucina: Indeed we are. (Takes her Sword Out From Inside her Bag) It's been so long since we've clash our blades in any form of fashion, so I figured we make up for old times. (Forms a Bit of s Competitive Smirk on her Face) Though, I do hope your swordsmanship skills hasn't falter during your time at Nohr.

Owain: (Chuckles Some More) Oho come now, cousin. I may have developed into the Darkest of All Mages you see before you......(Whirls and Tosses his Sword Up into the Air For a Brief Second Before Perfectly Catching it by the Handle and Forms a Competitive Smirk and Battle Stance) But my experience with a blade hasn't rusted one bit.

Lucina: Hm. Nice catch. But let's see if you still have what it takes to keep up with me.

Owain: I believe that was my line you used there, cousin. But yes, let us commence on this fine bout! In 3.

Lucina: 2.

Owain: 1.

As they both scream out the word "GO!", the two cousins of Ylisse rushes towards one another with their blades in hand, dodging and clashing with every bit of attacks that comes their reach.

'Door Open'

Mewtwo: (Levitating Himself Out the Door While Talking to his Bestie, Zelda) I fail to see the appeal of this Romeo & Juliette type of stories you and everyone else here has been speaking so fondly of.

Zelda: (Smiles Brightly) Just give it a chance, Mewwy. Once you see and analyze how each scene plays out from start to finish, I'm sure you'll grow to appericate the romance, drama and tragedy it has to offer as much as I....do.......

Zelda suddnly stops walking and widens her eyes up and sparkle as she watches a sophisticated looking young man with short blonde hair, sparring against Lucina, in slower motion.

Zelda: (Suddenlyyyyy!~ Life has a new meaning!~ To meeeeee!~ There's beauty up aboveee~ And things we never take notice of~ You wake up....and suddenly.....You're in Lo-)

Mewtwo: Zelda.

Zelda: (Immediately Gets Startled amd Coming Back to Reality) I WASN'T STARING AND DAYDREAMING AT HIM, I SWEAR!!

Mewtwo: .....I was going to ask you what version of Romeo and Juliette you recommend me to watch first. But I can see that your priorities is elsewhere now.

Zelda: ('Sigh') I'm sorry, Mewwy. My mind went completely sidetracked for a second. (Eyes Starts Sparkling at the Blonde Hair Boy Again) And it's all because of him~ Who is he?

Mewtwo: (Turns his Attention to the Boy in Question) Hm. It seems that's the new Dark Mage Hades mentioned. Odin, I believe is his name.....(Grabs his Chin While Thinking) Or was it Owain?

Zelda: They both sound like lovely names~

Mewtwo: You're crushing on him, aren't you?

Zelda: (Comes Back to Reality Once Again) What!? N-No! Of course not! (Chuckles Very Awkwardly) I-I mean, that would be silly of me! I would never- (Slouches her Upper Down Slightly While Sighing in Defeat) I am not doing a really good job in convincing you otherwise, am I?

Mewtwo: Your attempts were sloppy at best and predictable at worst.

Zelda: (Starts Whining) Mewyyy!~ This is the first time since forever that I'm developing a crush on someone and I'm already lost on what to do! You gotta help me!~

Mewtwo: Calm yourself. I'm sure you'll have a better chance of forming a potential relationship going forward with him if you just talk to him first-

Zelda: ODIN! OWAIN!!!

Owain: Hm? (Stops Sparring for a Secind as He Turns to See a Girl in Pink Happily Waving at him in the Distance)

Zelda: PARDON THE INTRUSION, BUT MY NAME IS PRINCESS ZELDA FRO. HYRULE! I HOPE WE CAN BE FRIENDS GOING FORWARD!!~

Owain: (Stares at Zelda For a Brief Second Before Happily Waving Back at Her) Ah, ahoy there, my fair maiden-(Suddenly and Quickly Dodges Himself Away From his Opponent's Blade While Letting a Terrified (And Somewhat Girlish) Scream)

Lucina: Stay focus, Owain!

Owain: Y-Yes ma'am! Will do, ma'am! (Continues Sparring with his (Slightly) Older Cousin)

Zelda: (Let's Out a Gasp Before Turning Back to Mewtwo) Mewwy, did you hear that?~ (Place her Hands onto her Chest While Putting on a Love Struck Smile on her Face) He called me his FaIr Maiden~

Mewtwo: (Already Has a Deadpinned Look on his Face) Pretty sure that was his way to be proper and polite. You are a princess after all.

Zelda: ('Sigh') True......(Smiles Softly While Blushing) It's still sweet though~ (Let's Out a Cute Giggles)

?????: Aww~ The princess' falling in love already?~ Don't blame you though. He I'd quite the looker and prince charming type~

Zelda: (Turns Around and Gasps at the Sight of....) Reina!~ (Happily Hugs the Short Hared Girl) It's you!~ Happy New Years!~

Reina: (Giggles Softly) Likewise, Zelda-san~ Really great to see you again. (Turns to Mewtwo) Same with you too, Mewwy. (Smiles Sheepishly) You don't....mind me calling you that, do you?

Mewtwo: Zelda's usually the only one allowed to call me that. (Rolls his Eyes a Bit) But I suppose it wouldn't hurt to let you do so as well, so long as you don't push it.

Reina: (Happily Hugs Mewtwo) Arigatō, Mewwy-Senpai!~

Mewtwo starts blushing in silence.

Zelda: It's been so long since we've last seen you. And Kazuya too now that I think about it.

Reina: (Starts Rubbing The Back of her Head Back and Forth) Yeah, sorry about that. I've been pretty busy for the last three months. Participating in the 8th Tekken Tournament, take part of a world global war against onii-san and the Zaibastu back in our universe......

Mewtwo: (Has his Deadpinned Look on his Face Again) That's explains it.

Reina: Oh! And while that was going on, I took a full powered Devil Gene to the entire body!

Zelda: (Eyes Widened in Complete Shock Along with Mewtwo) You did what!?

Mewtwo: That....Couldn't be pleasant.

Reina: Oh no, it wasn't. It was incredibly painful. But luckily, I was still able to survived all of that in the end. (Forms a Bit of a Devious Smirk) As well as making a few VERY interesting discoveries along the way.....(Went Back to Smiling Brightly) Buuuut now that you mentioned onii-chan......

Meanwhile at the Dining Room Hall........

Bowser: You lost ALL of your Devil Gene powers?

Ridley: While you were fighting your own son on a meteorite falling down from space?

Kazuya: To the ends of the Earth, yes. Even with those turns of events combined, they're STILL weren't enough to stop me from fighting-

Ganondorf: You still lost, didn't you?

Kazuya: ('Sighs in Defeat') Yeah, the mistake actually got the better of me in the end. You know, this new feeling I been having as of late. (Looks Down on the Palm of his Hand) Having pride in someone else.....Not entirely the most bothersome feeling our of the bunch.....(Balling his Fist Up in Anger) Too bad it's going be quickly overshadowed by my UNYIELDING RAGE!!!!

Kazuya angrily bolts himself up from his seat, creating a short shockwave strong enough to push it away and create a small crater on the floor he is now standing on.

Kazuya: (Starts Panting a Bit Before Calming Himself Down Shortly After) ..........Are you guys seeing any horns or wings on me right now?

Everyone at the Table: Nuh-uh/I don't see anything/Nope.

Kazuya: Damnit.

???: Kazuya!

The League of Evil Villains members turn themselves around to see a woman with long, beautiful black hair and a black and white attire, making her way to their table

???: Are you in here, my darling?

Kazuya: (Sighs While Pinching the Bridge of his Nose) Speaking of bothersome.......How goes the tour of the mansion, dear?

Ganondorf/Sephiroth/Pichu: Darling?/Pichu?

Bowser/Ridley: Dear!?

Dark Smaus: ('Gasps')

Hades: (Starts Forming a Long, Diabolical Grin on his Face) Well, I'll be bloody damned! Are we about to witness another bombshell in here today, on this fine morning?~

Sephiroth: (Turns to Kazuya) Mine telling us who this woman is, Kazuya?

Kazuya: ('Sighs in Defeat') This woman is-

???: (Smiles Softly at Former Devilman) It's okay, Kazuya. I got this. (Turns her Attention to the Rest of the Villains Before Bowing Politely to Them) Please excuse my intrusion this morning. My name is Jun Kazama of the Kazama clan. And I....just so happen to be Kazuya's one and only wife.

Everyone: WIFE!!!? (IMMEDIATELY Turns Their Heads Back to Kazuya)

Kazuya: ...............('Clicks Teeth') So! About my fight in space-

Hades: (Let's Out a Very Evil Laugh) OHOHOHOHO NO!~ Don't even think about changing the subject here, lover boy!

Ridley: How the hell someone like you got yourself a wife?

Kazuya: (Snarls at Ridley) ('Hmph') Unlike you, I wasn't an hopeless incel of a punching bag.

Ridley: (Glares at Kazuya) Hey, at least I finally got me a girlfriend after all this time! (Turns to Dark Samus, Smiling and Holding her Hand) And she's very lovely by the way~

Dark Samus' heart begins to melt in genuine happiness as she place her other hand onto her chest.

Kazuya: (Rolls his Eyes) And you're standards must be as low as your intelligence if you consider that THING an actual lady.

Jun: (Glares at her Husband) Kazuya!

Ridley: (Angrily Slams his Hands on the Table While Getting Up From his Seat Along with Dark Samus) YOU TAKE THAT BACK RIGHT NOW, ASSHOLE!

Dark Samus growls at Kazuya as she's about to summon her arm cannon.

Bowser: (Burst Out Laughing) Ahaha man! He got you guys good, not gonna lie!

Kazuya: (Turns to Bowser) I dunno why you're laughing. There's not a day that goes by where you haven't gotten rejected or bitch slapped by the very same princess you tried to kidnap, on a daily basis

Bowser: (Immediately Cease his Laughing and Frowns) W-Why you gotta do me like that, man? I was just laughing.

Ganondorf: ('Sigh') Everyone, please! We are clearly getting off topic here. (Turns to Jun) Now tell us, Jun, how is a sweet and polite woman such as yourself, managed to fall for someone as repulsive as him? (Points Jun to Kazuys, Who is Now Flipping him Off)

Jun: (Giggles Softly) You know, i always ask myself that exact question, even more so now that I've come out hiding. (Smiles Fondly) But then I started to think back about all the moments we shared together, despite how little it was, and how much of a sweetheart he truly was, even if he doesn't show it off at times~

Kazuya: (Notices Everyone in the Table Went Back to Stare at Him) Will you quit staring at me already!? I know how much of a mess I am!!

Jun: (Place her Hands onto Kazuya's Shoulders, Calming Him Down) Calm yourself, my dear. It's true that you're a mess of person, but that cold, rough body of yours hides a lost, scared soul yearning for the chance to grow into becoming something new and better. I know you have what it takes to improve yourself Kazuya, my love, and I will do whatever I can to help and support you every step of the way, as ypur loving wife. (Kisses Kazuya on the Forehead) And I believe a good starting point is for you forming an proper apology to everyone you've wronged and hurt I the past, the first being Jin.

Kazuya: (Scowls and Groans in Annoyance) Are you seriously?

Jun: (Forms a Motherly Glare at Kazuya) Yes, I am. He's our son, Kazuya.

Kazuya: He's a purest definition of a mista-

Kazuya immediately shuts himself up once he sees Jun's glare is now piercing through his inner soul.

Kazuya: I-I mean....('Clears Throat') Yes. He's......our..... son alright. But have you forgotten that HE was the one who started a global war in our world in the first place?

Jun: ('Sigh') I haven't, and I will most certainly have a long talk with him the next time we see each other. But let's not sit here and forget that you and your organization caused just as much, if not, even more damage to our world even before the war even started. And what us this I hear about you celebrating in front of your father's grave?

Kazuya: The man threw off a cliff when I was six and tried to kill me ever since, I'm pretty sure I have every right to celebrate his rightful demise. Besides, didn't you sent Jin away to training with him throughout his teenage years, knowing full well how evil and twisted he is?

Jun: He was the only available family member I could contact at the time! ('Sighs in Defeat') But I realized that it wasn't the best choices I made the over the years........

Kazuya: (Simply Nodded) ('Hmph') As you should be.

Jun: (Starts Pouting at her Husband) Don't give me that! You still have a lot apologizing to do, you know?

Kazuya: (Sighs While Rolling his Eyes) I know, I know, I'll get around to working on that. (Gets Himself Up From his Seat) But can I at least get some fresh air first? (Notices Everyone in the Table Smirking at Him) Away from these aggravating idiots?

Jun: (Giggles a Bit) Of course. Take your time.

Kazuya: ('Sighs in Relief') Thank you! (Starts Walking Away Before Stopping For a Second Without Turning Back Around) Oh and....Jun?

Jun: Yes?

Kazuya: Thanks.....for believing in me and junk. And...... (Takes a Deep Breath Before Speaking)......I love you. (Finally Continues his Walk)

Jun: (Heart Begins to Melt in Genuine Happiness) I love you too, dear.

Hades: (Smiles Brightly) Love ya too, Kazie!~

Kazuya: (Flips Him abd Everyone Else Without Turning Back) Eat a dick!

Hades: I'll pass, thanks. (Chuckles Evilly) He's way too easy to piss off.

Pichu: (Smiles Brightly) Pi-chu!~

Sephiroth: (Chuckles Lightly) That's right, son. He is purest definition of a "Whipped Man"

Bowser: (Scoffs While Rolling his Eyes) More like punk man if you ask me. Who do he think he is dissing me like that?

Ridley: I mean, he's not wrong. You gotta move on from Peach sooner or later man.

Bowser: NEVER!

Jun: (Politely Bows at League of Villains) I cannot thank you all enough for being friends with my husband after a this time. Or....rather, tolerate his presence for this long. I can tell he caused you trouble along the way.

Ganondorf: ('Sigh') You're not wrong in that assumption, I know. (Smiles a Bit) But I'm glad we got to finally meet you in person.

Ridley: (Smiles Brightly) Same here! Really don't get why you married Kazuya of all people, but i still think you're pretty nice lady all things considered.

Hades: You know.......If you want, you're more than welcome to join our club. The more, the merrier.

Sephiroth: (Nodded in Agree) I agree to this. It could give you more opportunity to watch over him, make sure he doesn't cause too much trouble.

Ganondorf: (Forms an Evil Smirk on his Face) Not like he's gonna do much of anything considering he's now an ordinary man. What do you say, ma'am?

Jun: (Smiles Brightly) I'd be honored to join you all. Thank you so much.

Bonus

Outside of the Mansion.....

Kazuya: (Sitting on the Front Steps While Grumbling to Him) I despise this new year so far.....My Devil Gene powers are gone, I got humbled by my mistake of a son, and my credibility as a villain is decreasing as we speak. ('Sigh') But at least I'm reunited with Jun again. So there's that at least

?????: Onii-Chan!~

Kazuya: ('Groans') What do you......

Kazuya's eyes slowly starts to widened up as he suddenly see Reina in the sky along with a Levitating Mewtwo, carrying cheery Zelda in arms.....While she is in her devil form.

Reina: Fancy seeing you on this fine morning!~ I would love to come down and chat, but I have a princess fly around at the moment.

Zelda: (Happily Waves at Kazuya) See you in a bit, Kazuyaaaaa!!~

As the trio flies off, one of Kazuya's eyes starts to twitch rapidly before screaming out........

Kazuya: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

The modern planeswalker design template

There's a modern planeswalker design that WotC seems particularly fond of, which can be summed up as:

Mana cost: 5, starting loyalty: 4-5

+1: +1 card advantage -3: remove an opposing permanent -8: You win the game (sometimes with extra steps, e.g. your opponent gets an emblem that says "you slowly lose the game")

How many times has Wizards R&D designed this card? Let's count:

Honorable mention to Nicol Bolas which has the twist of his +1 ability being +2 card advantage instead of +1 (an upside that is balanced by his stricter casting cost):

Dishonorable mention to this version of Jace, which fits the mold except for his minus ability only bouncing the problematic permanent instead of removing it:

To be honest, I was surprised that there are actually relatively few planeswalkers that fit this template, despite it existing in my mind as the "overused planeswalker template" for many years.

I think part of my conception of this planeswalker template being "overused" is that it's a pretty boring design -- there's only one ability that specifically interacts with the board, and spot removal is one of the most boring ways to interact with the board, in comparison to abilities that create specific types of tokens, place counters, or shrink creatures without straight-up removing them.

The most boring part of this design, in my view, is that it comes with relatively few deckbuilding restrictions. Ral wants you to play with instants and sorceries, but that's kind of par for the course if you're playing a UR deck. Vivien's restriction of wanting you to play with creatures is likewise what you'd expect from a green planeswalker, and what makes her less interesting than other green planeswalkers is that she doesn't reward you for playing a specific kind of creature.

The thing that makes these planeswalkers generally less interesting compared to their peers becomes more evident if you look at ones that are only slightly different:

Ajani mostly fits the mold: he's a 5-drop with 4 starting loyalty, a +1 that gives you +1 card advantage, and a -8 that essentially reads "win the game" for most intents and purposes. However, rather than having a -3 that removes an opposing permanents, he has a +1 that adds counters to the board. This is a lot more interesting!

For one thing, Ajani wants you to be playing with creatures. But he specifically wants you to be playing with a specific kind of creature: he likes small creatures, because growing a 1/1 into a 4/4 has turned an insignificant annoyance into a creature that the opponent actually has to care about, whereas growing a 5/5 angel or dragon into a 8/8 matters a lot less, because both are effectively "big creature that will kill you in several swings if you don't find a way to remove it." Ajani also rewards you for going wide: you can spread the +1/+1 counters across 3 different creatures if you want to, reducing the chance that your investment gets completely neutered by a single removal spell.

(This, by the way, is also a flavor win: he's "Ajani, Mentor of Heroes," which implies that he excels at working with fledgling creatures that have yet to reach their full potential. A 1/1 soldier or 2/2 knight is going to benefit from mentorship a lot more than a 5/5 angel or dragon.)

Or, for something further afield, compare "generic planeswalker design" Vivien Reid to this version of Vivien:

This is also a Vivien that rewards you for building a deck with lots of creatures, but much like the green/white Ajani, she cares about the size of the creatures you are playing. For one thing, her -2 ability wants you to be casting creature spells (as opposed to spawning tokens), and the bigger the creature you're casting, the bigger the potential payoff. (Casting a 5-drop and cascading into a free 4-drop is a much better potential upside than casting a 3-drop and cascading into a free 2-drop.) In fact, not only does this ability reward you for playing big creatures, but it actually incentivizes you to play fewer smaller creatures, to minimize the chance that you cast a 5-drop and only get a free 1-mana elf for your troubles.

Then again, she doesn't punish you too hard for playing smaller creatures, because her passive ability lets you play creatures off the top of your library, and the cheaper your creatures, the greater the chance that you get to cast multiple creatures off the top of your library in a single turn.

EXCERPT:

Fives and Echo were out in front of Rex and Anakin, leading the group with guns drawn. Fives was quick to notice the warrior was female; her armor was shaped to her body. She wore gleaming white enameled plate of some light metal, with pauldrons, and an ornate breastplate over a fine silver chain mail shirt that reached to her knees. Her biceps were covered by golden guards engraved in some runic language inscribed in silver. Her gauntlets were the same, with more runes detailing something they could not decider. Her breastplate was inlaid with fine jewels, the emblem of two graceful trees, one gold, one silver, with the face and head of a dragon above them, and three stars shining above all. She wore a pair of white breeches beneath the chain mail skirt, with brown patches at the inner thigh and just below the knees, and a pair of well worn brown knee high riding boots with small silver spurs. At her waist was a sword belt, holding the short sword and a stunning, ornate dagger. She had a shoulder scabbard for her great sword and over her left shoulder, a quiver of arrows, with a bow slung across her chest. The two clones stared in admiration of the beautiful armor and how the warrior was loaded for battle with weapons. Clearly she was deadly and prepared for just about anything thrown at her. Her face was half covered by a helmet that covered her temples and the sides of her face. Across her brow there were three white stones that shone like diamonds, glittering and sparkling in the light, but with a glow behind them that was ethereal, like star shine. There was a near opaque visor over her eyes, and they could make out the outline of them behind the glass. Her mouth was sensitive, with a slightly pouty lower lip that they could swear was ready for a laughing smile at any time. Neither clone needed to see anything more to know she was beautiful. Her head turned slightly to check the progress of her mount and a long, thick braid of brown hair shot through with gold and silver highlights fell over her shoulder. The highlights sparkled in the sun, much like the glitter of her armor, but it was the stones on her brow that really radiated power and light; Fives and Echo could not look directly at them without feeling blinded by their light.

The warrior was standing in a ready pose with her great sword in her right hand. As the group of clones and General Skywalker approached, she moved her weight back to her rear foot and drew her short sword in a reverse grip, raising her great sword over her head in a stance Anakin wasn’t familiar with. The clones all raised their blasters, and Captain Rex said in a flat tone, “I’d put away your swords if I were you.”

Without a sound, above them, the dragon lowered its massive head and gave a deep menacing growl towards the clones. They had forgotten it while studying the woman, and with Rex’s threat the beast decided to remind them of its looming presence. The men all looked up into teeth, and a glowing red furnace of a throat. The woman smirked a bit and said, without changing her pose “I think perhaps YOU would do better to lower your guns.”

Skywalker looked at Rex and nodded, saying “Go ahead. Lower your blasters.”

The clones holstered their guns and stepped back the smallest fraction, giving her room. The woman stood up, relaxing her posture. She put her short sword back in its sheath, then sheathed the great sword as well. She raised her visor on her helmet and Fives and Rex both gasped internally. Her eyes were gray blue, but shone with a light from within that radiated like star light. The color reminded them of the sea and sky of Kamino, and both were drawn into them like deep pools of sparkling water. Her beauty gave even General Skywalker pause, and he hesitated for a brief second before introducing himself. She beat him to the first word, resting her arms across her chest and asking “You’re their superior, I presume?”

“I’m General Anakin Skywalker of the Jedi Order and the Grand Army of the Republic. This is Captain Rex, my first in command. The man to your immediate left is Lieutenant Fives and to your right, Corporal Echo. We appreciate your help with this battle today, but I’m not sure we’ve ever heard of someone like you before….”

“Well, since we are going with impressive titles, I am Telperion Laurelin, Guardian of the Balance and Guide of Souls. I heard a cry for help in this galaxy, and I have answered the call. It’s what I do.” She gestured to the giant beast standing watchfully behind and above her. “This is Baiulus the Black Dread. He is my dragon, a friend of many ages and my greatest ally in any fight. He is rather protective of me, and not above eating those who threaten my person.” She said this with a small apologetic smile, but looked at the clones significantly in warning. “I’d hate for our first meeting to go south over a misunderstanding of intentions.” She opened her hands to show she meant no harm. “I’m here to help you in this fight. There is no need for the worry about me or B.”

[wildflowercryptid]

i saw a tiktok giving the gen 9 gym badges cool & fun names like the old games did so here's my headcanons names for the galarian gym badges + explaining the thought process behind them under the cut!

MILO — the herd badge

NESSA — the dew badge

KABU — the ember badge

BEA — the bout badge

ALLISTER — the fright badge

OPAL — the mab badge ⤵︎

BEDE — the puck badge

GORDIE — the monolith badge

MELONY — the frostbite badge

PIERS — the rebel badge ⤵︎

MARNIE — the rally badge

RAIHAN — the wyvern badge

《 BONUS 》 PEONY — the rivet badge

here's some in-depth explanation on each badge's name!

THE HERD BADGE : comes from turffield's gym challenge.

THE DEW BADGE : from nessa's water type specialization & how some makeup looks are called "dewy", connecting to her modeling work.

THE EMBER BADGE : from kabu's fire type specialization & his journey as a gym leader. embers may be a sign of a dying fire, but they still can burn you & rekindle into a blazing fire, (much like how kabu fell into the minor league before rekindling his passion & strength to regain his place in the major league.)

THE BOUT BADGE — pulled from bea's in-game dialogue, connects to her fighting type specialization. also, alliteration is always fun.

THE FRIGHT BADGE — from allister's ghost type specialization & how he's shown to enjoy spooking people (giving them a fright) he's friendly with in masters.

THE MAB BADGE — pulled from william shakespeare's romeo & juliet, mab is described as a fairy queen. meant to connect opal's fairy type specialization & her history in theater.

THE PUCK BADGE — pulled from william shakespeare's a midsummer night's dream, puck is a fairy much like mab. meant to signify bede's fairy type specialization & his connection to opal as her student + successor as gym leader.

THE MONOLITH BADGE — pulled from gordie's in-game dialogue, connects to his specialization in rock types.

THE FROSTBITE BADGE — from melony's ice type specialization & severe training style.

THE REBEL BADGE — from piers' dark type specialization & his "odd one out" nature as a gym leader

THE RALLY BADGE — from marnie's ability to rally people's support around her & stir up a crowd. also starts with an r, showing her connection her to piers.

THE WYVERN BADGE — from raihan's dragon type specialization, wyverns are often used as emblems in english coats of arms. we'll just ignore that wyverns aren't considered dragons in english folklore, though.

THE RIVET BADGE — from peony's steel type specialization, this was the name of his badge before he left the league.
