hello agaian. im here to request a different thing from what i usually request. hsr!! yay!!! yanqing, arlan, and qingque with a guinaifen-like s/o. a silly streamer and blogger.. like whatd they do or react when thir s/o do streams with them sometimes!!.. maybe trying out different types of foods, doing tricks, exploring places.. and more

(also you can refuse this req since idk if i can submit 2 or not, i donnt wanna sound greedy :'))

thank you!!!!<3

♬ now playing: "streamer"

-> "chat is this real", "... who are you talking to???"

summary. hsr chars w/ a guinaifen-like!s/o

chars. yanqing , qingque (ft. fu xuan)

notes. blinks repeatedly. man! how long has it been. hai lyn!!! thank u for the two requests!!!! except tumblr ate the other one up and i . forgor what it was. u have been reading my works since liek . december ??? i find u very cool.!!!!! I COULDNT THINK OF ANYTHING FOR ARLAN and also this is relly really short I AM very.veru sorry:( i hoep u still enjoy this tho!.!!!! ^0^

contains. spoilers for the event story "aurum alley's hustle and bustle" (yanqing), fluff, established relationships

track one: yanqing

considering yanqing's job and training, he doesn't have as much free time as he wishes he had. but he still hangs out with you and even guests in your streams at times!

in fact, he even joined in when you visited aurum alley. after sushang and the trailblazer fixed the area up, helping the stores, it was no surprise that it was on your go-to list.

"good evening, everyone! i'm sure you all heard about the renewal of aurum alley, so i came here today!" you smiled at the video camera, then switched it over to frame yanqing, who was coming back to you with some berrypheasant skewers in hand.

"and today, i'm accompanied by the cloud knight's lieutenant, yanqing!" yanqing, already biting into one of the skewers and handing yours to you, gave a goofy smile to the camera.

essentially, you were documenting your exploration date with yanqing. he didn't seem to mind that much, though.

the chat, on the other hand, was sort of going wild — spamming cute stickers, a bunch of cheesy comments about you guys... overall finding this puppy love to be very cute (it is.)

track two: qingque

and on the other side of the spectrum, there's qingque — biggest slacker of the divination commission. it's admirable how she isn't fired yet.

so, it means that she's almost always down to stream with you. and this time, the both of you decided to explore around the luofu. nothing too special, honestly.

"man, this is actually getting a little boring." qingque mumbled, observing around the area you two are in. supposedly, there was something 'super duper fascinating' in this place, and you wanted to check it out. for the views.

admittedly, you were disappointed, too. you've been walking around for a good 45 minutes now, and nothing has shown up. not a building, creature, object... zero.

well, until you hear footsteps coming from behind you.

the both of you stopped in your tracks, absolutely horrified to hear something like that for the first time. it was almost cartoonish, the way you looked at each other like, 'did you hear that, too?'

one word came from the voice behind you, firm and annoyed — "qingque."

it was just the master diviner, fu xuan. however, realistically speaking, that's even scarier than any beast you could come across.

... needless to say, the stream switched off soon after.

[hamliet]

Less of a question but I was never an avid manga reader till 2019 and mha was the first manga I kept track of weekly, and I read Tokyo ghoul after it ended, and seeing everyone be dissatisfied with how Tokyo ghoul ended after keeping up weekly is something I’m reminded of after seeing the latest chapter of mha. So this is what it feels like to witness 6 years of a character you hold in high regard be undermined(to put it lightly). I’m rather sad, but I can’t help but feel fondness for shigaraki even if the way he ended wasn’t satisfying, how do u feel about how mha has gone?

Yeah it does feel very reminiscent of Tokyo Ghoul in that they just went "ah yes, killing the right people is actually how we solve world issues." Which I find morally reprehensible, but also genuinely bad writing because the story as a whole doesn't support this message.

@linkspooky explained in her meta yesterday why Deku has completely failed as a character, and why the manga has failed thematically as a story. I'm just gonna say I completely agree with Link.

To be fair, I'm not sure Shigaraki is dead dead, but either way, it's bad writing and it doesn't conclude his arc with any sort of satisfactory element. Like, why would Shigaraki see Deku as different than anyone else who tried to punch him? That's nonsensical and written from the POV of an audience, not from Shigaraki's POV. It's like in Star Wars when Rey calls herself "Rey Skywalker" when she knew Luke for 3 days and none of the people she was actually close to (Leia, Han, Ben) were Skywalkers. That's writing for the audience, with their perspective, ignoring the logic of your story. It defies believability because the character does not have that perspective. It's "forced" because the audience can see the hand of the author.

If Shigaraki is dead dead... Not gonna Star Wars this one again, but since I also hated the ending of The Rise of Skywalker, I must make a comparison. The idea that Deku may have saved Shigaraki's heart but couldn't save his body (which to be honest, nothing in the actual chapter supports, but if he stays dead might be the argument) is still bad writing. Why? Because to Shigaraki didn't even make the decision himself. He didn't sacrifice anything. How can his heart be saved if he had nothing to do with it? Saving an object is easy as pie. Saving a person is different, and that's what the whole story has been about. Like, in TROS, Kylo Ren gave his life for Rey! Was it stupid? Yes! But at least his "saved heart" did something. Shigaraki's saved heart did what exactly?

So then, is the message that Deku failed? Then why isn't it framed as a failure? Why was BNHA never set up to be a grimdark tragedy? If he failed, then shouldn't he have a miserable ending? Unless it's "heroes always become bad guys and life is unfair," but then shouldn't Deku be framed critically?

Basically, Horikoshi can't come back writing-wise from this in BNHA, and it's sad to see.

Horikoshi's biggest flaw throughout the entire story was that he kept flip-flopping on what he wanted to say, and made the characters more about his trying to please every single fan than about being, well, characters to explore important questions he has that are worthwhile. And you can do this while still having a "cool" factor!

Instead the characters tell us one thing while cocooning Deku in the sweet bliss that no one ever has on this earth--being 100% right all the time. And it's sad, because BNHA had so much potential as a story to challenge its audience and entertain too.

I thought even if it flopped in some aspects it'd at least get this right. It's disappointing.

Anyways every day that goes by I want to send Isayama and his editors flowers for actually writing a thematically coherent ending, even if some aspects were dropped or messy along the way.

[yamatologistt]

im like, what, 10 years late to the whole walking dead game thing but i was way too young back then to understand the game. i hope people still enjoy it, its a really good game (and sad) but im only up to season 3 right now (i only really liked s1 and s2) but im not finished so i cant really make decisions rn

i just want to talk about ben rn and evaluate him cause im rewatching it and now that hes my favourite i notice more things about him now. (i literally look at him everytime hes in frame even if its just showing the back of his head oml)

but anyway i see a lot of ben hate and sure i get it but i dont at the same time ben is so silly how can u hate him

- to start, when we first met ben in the woods, he’d already been through some stuff, like he saw his classmate off herself and turn into a walker, his camp got raided and he was left with 1 friend and his teacher (who both still die btw) so most of what he had left before the apocalypse was gone

- when lee is rationing out the food, if he gives ben food first, kenny comes and tells lee that there’s kids that need food too, and ben literally is like ‘sorry i didnt want any trouble’ like cmon, and he’s literally a kid too he deserves the food as much as anyone else

- on the train he is interested in the controls and being up there, so we can see that he generally enjoyed it. but once lee gets the engine going, kenny comes and ben immediately has to go babysit katjaa clem and duck (he is also visibly upset) AND THEN later on lee asks how ben was doing and he says ‘im watching the girls and not working on a mega cool train’ (let him on the train immediately 😠😠)

- ok, so maybe he did sneak supplies to the bandits and i think this is just me being biased but i feel like him giving the supplies held off the bandits a little. i mean think about it, they moved on from the st john’s farm and started taking from the motel, right? im not sure how the bandits asked ben (if they made it clear then i forgot) but if he refused wouldnt the bandits come attack even earlier? i mean they needed the supplies right, and if ben didnt give them anything to begin with they would have raided the motel anyway. i mean they knew where they were even before the st john incident. idk its just a thought

- i think it was cool how ben managed to confess to lee that he was the one who slipped the bandits supplies. like you can tell ben is a good guy cause the guilt was almost literally eating him from the inside. and even though ben isnt one of the bravest people, he still confessed knowing that lee’s reaction wouldnt be pretty. (also his stance when leaning on the train railing was so silly to me)

- after they meet christa and omid, ben tells lee that his biggest fear was to be eaten by the walkers. i mean he literally said that if he got bitten he would off himself 😢😢

- also ben was always referred to as a child but he was never treated like one, everyone excpected him to be brave and strong but in reality he was just some scrawny highschool student who was scared and couldnt live up to his impossible standards. man, i really just wanna give ben a big hug

- if you tell ben to “kill anything that gets in” he responds with “you know you’re talking to me, right?” poor ben

- even though his biggest fear is getting eaten by walkers, you still have the option to leave him behind, and let him go at the bell tower. i mean how could u do this to him hes already gone through enough

- lastly, the part where ben tells off kenny is literally iconic, that scene singlehandedly made ben one of my favourite characters of all time, i was like everyone else, i didnt care about ben because i thought he was a bad guy since i never really payed attention to him. but i swear when he was telling kenny off it felt like i was being told off too. i mean his point was valid too, kenny had his family to say goodbye to, and ben (and literally everyone else) never got to see their family, (or they saw them as walkers, lee and clem,, :( )

- i know the last point was meant to be the last one but cmon its ben i could type this for ages longer but yeah. he had the literal best character development in the game. at first he was some stupid kid who was always messing up and before he died he was an amazing character who deserved literally everything. omg i cried so hard when he died cause when he fell i was like, oh i think its ok the fall wasnt too far and he said he only hurt his leg, but bro once we saw what really happened my heart sank bro it was so sad i really hoped nothing bad happened to him ☹️☹️ but i think kenny did the right thing cause like we said, his worst fear was the walkers getting to him. gosh i feel like i watched his death for the first time ages ago and i still cant stop thinking about him man

anyways, i would literally do anything to give ben a massive hug, he did his best and he was literally so funny too :((

(thanks if u read this far btw, i just wanted to rant about this man i love him so much and i will defend him with my life) 😠‼️

I just saw your latest animation on youtube and I'm just blown away,, what animation tips do u have to make it look so smooth !?!?!@><I(7&*^&*76$567

Thankyou very much, that means a lot :D!

for animation tips i, personally, use 24 fps (though everyone has their preferences :3) this is because you can choose your speed, its like having a selection box

you can do something called animating on ones where you make a new drawing every single frame, this is good for super fast movements, or for super smoothness :D! 2’s are my go to, its a new drawing every 2 frames, so it’s like animating on 12 fps! The reason i dont just animate on 12 fps is that i like to be able to switch between speeds and smoothness (i also animate on 3’s, 4’s, 5’s ect)

Ontop of this, when a character is coming to a stop, add some extra frames at the end for smoothness. when a person stops moving they don’t abruptly stand still but will cary on moving slightly, easing into their stopping motion (this speed will obviously vary depending how quick the person stops moving etc)

if you want a visual example, move your hand upwards at an average speed, you’ll see it goes up but slightly comes back down to a stop! If you do it quickly it kinda looks bouncy right? You can do this with all sorts of objects for learning too, like fabric.

I also like to do something called anticipation, where a character will do a secondary movement before their primary one! Basically, say you threw an orange at wall or something (go with it), your secondary movement would be reeling your arm back before your primary movement where you throw it at the wall! This gives a sense of power and authenticity to the throw, otherwise the character looks super strong like really like “make bad guys cry just by looking at them” sorta strong… maybe not that strong.

At the end, i like to redraw my last frame, just so that continued movement doesn’t look too rigid :D

The best way you can learn is to look at how things move and how they look when doing certain things; people, objects, animals everything :D art and animation are more than just drawings or cool stories and visuals, its also the understanding of the world around you and its so worth it learning animation because you can see the world in a whole new light, its pretty awesome :D!

other more generalised tips that im going off on a tangent here cause its my fixation is that if you’re doing a big animation project storyboard it ppLLEAAAaseee, i never used to and id run out of ideas for scenes and lose enthusiasm and it was like AAAAAAAA. For personal projects or behind the scenes that only i need to be able to understand or decipher ill story board onto my sketchbook rather than doing a polished storyboard cause its quicker and only you really need to understand it :D

any other questions feel free to ask! Specifics or general questions, thanks for asking :D!

[kafus]

Ohoho its kinda strange but what is your favourite thing in your room?? Idk why but I always ask this question to people lol

no this question is awesome but i’m INCREDIBLY torn between a few different things so i’m gonna share like 3 things 😭 for the purpose of making this interesting i will not include plushies since i have a lot of those in here and that’s too easy of an answer

first off is this kaf/u keychain - technically it’s attached to my purse (my purse is also kaf themed btw lol) but i don’t leave my house that often and it’s usually in my room so i think it counts. it was a birthday present from someone extremely important to me - he made the art for it and had it custom printed and cut and everything! the kafu is specifically drawn to look like how i draw her (you can tell by the robot hands) and overall i am just extremely sentimental about this gift, it’s one of my favorite things i’ve ever received from anyone ever and has more meaning behind it than appears on the surface

following on the gift trend, my sibling got me this custom figurine YEARS ago - it’s handmade and it’s of an old pokesona of mine back when i was a more active pokemon furry. i don’t even use this guy as a sona anymore but it’s from my sibling and it was so thoughtful and it’s honestly just such a cool piece of art, like the style is super cool and it’s obviously unique to one of my characters and i just think that’s awesome

and lastly, right now it’s Still sitting in the envelope to keep it safe because i Still haven’t gotten a frame for it, but i have kaf’s signature in sharpie on this letter here - back when she graduated high school there was a whole virtual concert and celebration and you could pay a little extra on merch to get this signed by kaf (it’s a letter talking about graduating and thanking her fans and whatnot) and i just feel incredibly blessed to have been there for that and own this, i’m very sentimental about kaf in 2022

dd wit cat traits are so cool but you guys are limiting yourself. need me some weird fucked up bird dds . also bat solvers is so cool FLESHY WINGS KICK ASS but what if solver wings were. well for one what if they had weird pinfeathers like they were constantly molting BUT. getting offtrack but i think solver drones are exploited by the solvers to physically suit the host's strengths and weaknesses . dont know enough about nori & yeva yet to deduce whay theyd be like but. uzi shares most of the dd traits, wings, tail, and considering maid v. presumably the claws. i think the solver would look at doll & how she behaves and go Nah that wont cut it. instead of bat wings i think she would get fucked up bug wings. sort of like beetle wings, but with thick plating to work as defense because as shown in promening she knows jack shit about actual physical combat instead resorting on her powers. going by my hc that wd have three-fingered secondary arms & nori and yeva planned to have uzi and dolls frames built to like. best deal with the solver. i think doll would originally have had like. fully developed secondary arms (for more complex glyphs) before her parents DIED and she had to start updating her frame herself (aka stealing the parts of drones she killed Yay) IM GETTING OFF TRACK THO uzi is like a weird bat bird beast while doll is a fucked up beetle roach thing. i dont think dolls. Solver Form would have a tail solely because. im a sucker for short-tailed beasts representing "docked" parts better suited for fighting. OH MY GOD hold on ok im getting so offtrack but guys doll is so cool . her kill count is almost certainly not even remotely close to v's but theres something so wild to me about "the desire for revenge against my parents' murderer is so strong that along the way i became something similar to her." like you know. solver drone. oil. Killing. duh doyyy GUYS its all connected im such a genius. i like to depict doll as visually very similar to v (round & square shapes, similar bodytypes n shit) just cause imagine looking in the mirror one day and realizing youve become the thing you sought to kill. hell you even have the same bangs. also dolls whole No one can help me ... I can do this myself ... shit is SOOO funny to me . i love seeing a character getting introduced as a highly powerful entity and then IMMEDIATELY EATING SHIT (promening <3) like. ok. i remeber i planned 2 write a fic about this like a week ago and never did but the idea is still in my mind i think doll would. try n teach herself to fight or some shit. Sasha waybright reference i think cheerleadinf would transition very smoothly into physical combat. speaking of cheerleading what do u think doll was like before You Knwo. was she for real just lizzys bitch? funny to think about actually. filled herself with somuch rage and such a potent desire for revenge that she burnt out and froze herself over OKAY THIS MAKES NO SENSE THIS TURNED INTO ME TALKING ABOUT DOLL GOODBYE I LOVE HER ALOT.

The best cook out of all the siblings. [things that genshin just does the best]

Doesn’t cook often but if someone asks him to make something he’ll get it right on his first try 80% of the time

Has a pet horse

Almost never at home

Business trips abroad often

Seeing him in regular casual clothes is like seeing a unicorn.

Probably has a skin condition where if he’s touching cheap fabric he’ll have skin rashes

Handles and prepares live sea creatures for dinner way too casually.

Once killed a live chicken that was running around the house by throwing a skewer through its head

Doesn’t like cleaning and will have the help pick up after him… he’s just snobby like that

No social life outside of work and business related matters

ZERO friends

Ig PJR is kind of a friend but they’re more so rivals

Every day is bring ZZZ to work day.

Sends ZZZ back home whenever they start getting sleepy

Works at the hoyoverse building, same with Themis and SR and whenever he finishes early he’d go hangout with them a bit

Doesn’t work out but does a lot of outdoor activities

Wishes he has more of an outdoorsy job

Regular movie nights and family vacations together

Always spend time with each other on weekends, all of them. Hi3 says that there will be zero working on weekends. But even when he’s not working he’s still wearing suits. [Genshin breaks this rule a lot]

Closet filled with suits!!!

Owns way too many watches that he never uses to tell the time

Fancy tie clip collection

The shoes are DAPPER

His perfume collection makes me jealous

God I hate this jerk sm

Never uses his phone to look at social media [he never listens to his fan’s opinions…]

[firebuug]

no, you're right about pokemon and pixels. there was COLOR and LIFE and FUN in the pixellated pokemon games. the kind that makes you play them over and over and over. recent pokemon games leave me burnt out before i even reach the first gym.

where are the lovingly animated trainer intros for gym leaders. where are the Pokemon doing adorable little three-frame animations when they get sent out. where.

...this is probably weird to just send but pokemon makes me passionate and i must say YES TO EVERYTHING in that post about pokemon. its so sad what happened. which makes two of us yelling at the storm cloud that once produced so many rainbows.

it is not weird dw but U GET IT!!!!

to be fair to newer gens the gym leaders have fun personality in the ways they throw their pokeballs , are introduced, and use their gen’s gimmick, but tbh. id sacrifice that if it meant the pokemon had more life than a soggy asparagus

even w pixels tho u can STILL have personality and 3d animations for npcs. old pixel pokemon games still used 3d in some cutscenes it CAN be done

also i FEEL u w getting burnt out. i could spens hours and days hooked on the old games but now i can barely finish scarlet. sure the new stuff is so cool and i love the characters n the love put into a tragically crunched game and the Sandwich Mechanics but tbh the only newer games ive been able to finish are X/Y and swsh. i couldnt even finish sumo 😭 altho i guess u can attribute that to just growing up and losing interest but i still love pokemon and gladly go back to replay my old b/w and diamond games, im planning on replaying pmd and ranger soon too :3 i have not touched swsh sjnce i finished it and am honestly even looking for someone to buy it off me bc i just did not connect w it at All😭

also dont even get me started on the travesty of that silly lil professor guy in scarvio being converted from the art to the 3d model. that was baffling. they made everyone else look great but my man with the funny glasses got FUUUUCKED

[puppetshowdown]

Any favourite info-dumps? <:O/genq

I love all of them! But here I'll share a few that really stood out to me! -The Julia one I mentioned before!: "I just….. I am love her. I was SO happy when she was introduced. Her first episode is my comfort media. Autistic representation where it isn’t framed as a bad thing is SO rare in children’s media, and “she does things a little bit differently, in a Julia sort of way” made me CRY. She is so much like me and she makes me so happy. The happy flaps when I saw her on the Sesame Street float at the Macy’s parade nearly hurt my wrist I was so happy. She is the best girl and deserves the best. Her puppet was designed to have a set of arms specifically so that she can stim, and she has a comfort toy like I do and doesn’t like the way paint feels like I don’t and loves to sing like I do and gets overwhelmed by sirens like I do and I just love her SO MUCH. (I didn’t link a picture because there are so many good ones! I like the one where she is looking at a feather, and also the one from the cover of the picture book she initially appeared in <3)" -Audrey II: "want to preface: either the stage version or the '86 movie version works, as both are portrayed by puppets! although neither is canonically a puppet in the story. i couldn't tell from the rules if this was disqualifying or not. BUT if i could get a word in for the movie Audrey II: WHAT A GORGEOUS PUPPET… or should i say SERIES of PUPPET/ANIMATRONIC HYBRIDS! there's somewhere in the ballpark of a dozen Twoies in the film to represent the different growth stages of the plant. they're all beautifully painted with vibrant detail, perfectly matching the high camp tone & setting! the mechanics of the puppet are also intricate and innovative; especially the MOUTH those lip syncs are so accurate and expressive! the largest puppets were actually so heavy that in order to remain accurate to the audio, they had to be operated along to the tracks and filmed at half speed, then sped up in editing… which means that when the actors appear with the plant in those scenes, they're ALSO performing at half speed! the stage play versions are (by necessity) less technical than these puppets, which were fabricated by the Jim Henson company btw, but lots are still really cool; a unique standout is the one from the Pasadena Playhouse production! whew. all this and i didnt even talk about the character… Audrey II is an alien plant that was beamed down to Earth and wants to take over the world. it sings some catchy songs about that. they can fit so much queercoding and slay into this plant. it's a girlboss it's a drag queen it manipulated a young man into committing several murders. we stan." -Spamton: "Hee heehee I am so obsessed with this silly puppet guy. I love how he went from an absolute snazzy lil salesman dude with his red tux, and just gradually turned into a complete disaster of himself. I like how little detail is actually shared about his past, so you're left to wonder if he was actually brought down by circumstances out of his control, or if he brought his failures upon himself and just doesn't want to accept that. I want to give him a hug and he would no doubt try to bargain for my soul in the process"

-Riley Ruckus: "SHES SO GENDER OH MY GOD SHES THIS COOL EVIL SCIENTIST WHO WAS MADE TO BE LIKE. A KIND BUT SLIGHTLY AGGRESSIVE SCIENCE TEACHER FOR A KIDS SHOW, BUT AFTER COMING TO LIFE HAD THAT TWISTED INTO MAD SCIENCE, AND SHE CARES SO MUCH ABOUT HER DOGGO AND SHES SO PRECIOUS AND WOULD ALSO RIP U APART AND IS SO VERY GENDER"

And honestly so many others! I love all the infodumps! From the long passionate paragraphs to the more silly jokey ones They're all so much fun to read!

previous next

you’re not sure why, but the idea of going shopping with rafe feels more intimate than you’d expect.

he had been a little grumpy when you first got into the car, grumbling about how he didn’t understand why you couldn’t have done this shopping thing with sarah. something about how he had better things to do.

you were half listening, your mind too caught up in the whirlwind of everything else. but after a few minutes of driving, the tension seemed to melt away, and by the time you arrived at the local mall, his mood had shifted. maybe it was just the idea of seeing you try on clothes that turned things around.

he seems to relax a bit when you start walking toward the entrance, his arm casually finding its way across your shoulders, pulling you closer to his side.

there’s something possessive about the way his arm sits there, like he’s staking some unspoken claim on you. you can feel the weight of it—almost heavy, but not uncomfortable. it’s a reminder that, in this world, you’re his.

the thought should unsettle you more than it does, but instead, it just feels . . . familiar. even though it’s wrong, even though it’s not really your life, there’s something intoxicating about the way he holds you like you belong to him.

inside, the mall is alive but not overly crowded. rafe doesn’t say much as you both head toward the first row of shops, his eyes scanning the storefronts while you try to focus on finding a dress for midsummers.

you catch a glimpse of yourself in one of the reflective windows as you pass by—his arm still draped across you, your body tucked against his side. it feels like a scene straight out of the show, like you’re playing a part you’re still not sure you belong in. but for now, you’ll play along.

“this one looks promising,” you say, slowing your steps as you spot a boutique with a window display of delicate dresses, all soft fabrics and flowy silhouettes. something about the colors catches your eye, and without waiting for a response, you give rafe’s hand a tug and pull him toward the doors.

“careful,” he mutters, though his voice holds a teasing note. there’s a faint smile on his lips now, one that wasn’t there earlier, and it makes something warm settle in your chest. maybe he’s enjoying this more than he wants to admit.

you step inside, the cool air of the store hitting your skin, and you let your fingers drift over the racks of dresses as you pass.

“see anything you like?” rafe asks, his voice low as he stands beside you, arms crossed over his chest. he looks out of place here, towering over the dainty dresses and soft hues, but there’s a softness in his gaze as he watches you.

“maybe,” you murmur, holding up a pale blue dress to examine it. it’s the kind of dress you can picture yourself wearing to midsummers—elegant, yet effortless.

and for a moment, you imagine it: you, in this dress, moving through the midsummers crowd, rafe beside you in a crisp suit, the two of you part of this world in a way that feels seamless. like you belong.

“try it on,” he says, his tone lighter now, a hint of encouragement in his voice. “i’ll tell you if it’s ugly.”

you roll your eyes but head to the dressing rooms with a few options anyway. the feeling of slipping a dress on is strangely comforting, like a piece of this world fitting over you.

when you step out of the dressing room, rafe eyes meet yours, and something unspoken passes between you. his gaze travels down your frame, taking in the soft blue fabric and how it falls over your figure.

he doesn’t say anything at first, but the way he looks at you—almost like he’s seeing something he hadn’t noticed before—makes your heart skip a beat.

“well?” you ask, feeling a little self-conscious under his scrutiny. you twirl once, letting the hem of the dress spin around you.

“you look good,” he says after a moment, his voice low, almost gruff. “real good.”

you find yourself smiling, feeling lighter in a way you hadn’t expected. “yeah? you think i should get it?”

he nods, his eyes still on you, and for a second, it feels like the rest of the world has faded away. like it’s just the two of you in this quiet little bubble, pretending this is all normal. pretending you belong here.

you can feel the heat creeping to your cheeks as you step back into the fitting room. after a moment of contemplation, you decide to try on a dusty lavender dress next.

stepping into the soft fabric, you notice how it cascades gently down to the floor, the a-line silhouette highlighting your figure without being too tight. you catch your reflection again, and the delicate curve of the neckline gives you a feeling of elegance.

the lavender is softer than you expected, and the way it flows feels like wearing a dream. but as much as you enjoy this one, it doesn’t quite feel like the one. after a few moments of contemplation, you slip back into the fitting room for the last dress.

you pull on the creamy ivory dress, admiring how the corset-style bodice fits snugly against you while still being incredibly comfortable.

stepping in front of the mirror, the soft fabric flows down to the floor, and as you turn, you can see how the light catches it just right. it’s simple yet breathtaking.

“this one’s different,” you say, a hint of excitement creeping into your voice as you glance back at rafe.

he doesn’t respond immediately, and when you finally turn to look at him, his eyes are wide, almost in disbelief. “jesus,” he breathes, stepping closer, his tone deepening. “you need to get this one. hell, get all three.”

your smile falters slightly at the suggestion. “all three? do you really think that’s a good idea?”

“yeah,” he replies, his voice low but laced with admiration. “yeah . . . you deserve it, baby.”

you consider his words for a moment, a mix of excitement and hesitation swirling inside you. finally, with a playful roll of your eyes, you agree.

you end up buying the dresses, of course, and as you exit the store, rafe reaches for you again. the gesture across your shoulder feels easy now, natural, and you let your fingers slide into his without thinking twice.

you’re wandering through the mall together, passing by more shops, occasionally glancing into windows to see if anything else catches your eye.

“you sure you’re done?” he asks at one point, raising an eyebrow as you pass a shoe store. “no shoes to go with the dress?”

you shrug. “i’ll think about it. besides, i already spent your money.”

his lips curve into a smirk. “yeah, well, you know that i don’t mind spending it on you.”

rafe parks the car and hops out, grabbing the shopping bags filled with your new dresses while you unlock the front door. as you swing it open, he strides in behind you, his presence instantly filling the space.

“sarah!” he calls out, his voice booming in the otherwise quiet house. “if you’re here, get out! this is my party tonight!”

rafe heads upstairs, leaving you to wander through the home.

as you step inside, you notice the modern decor—sleek furniture, vibrant artwork lining the walls, and hints of a coastal charm.

glancing into the kitchen, you peek around the corner. the expansive space is bright, with sunlight streaming in through the windows. you’re just about to pull back when a small noise startles you.

wheezie, rafe’s youngest sister, stands in front of the fridge, her curious gaze locking onto yours.

“hey?” she asks, bowing her head down slightly, a blend of confusion and curiosity on her face.

you feel a rush of shyness, suddenly self-conscious. “hi,” you reply quietly, waving as if it might somehow ease the moment. but the nerves get the better of you, and you find yourself slipping away from the doorway. wheezie watches you with a puzzled expression.

as you reenter the living room, rafe strides down the staircase, his brow furrowing when he catches sight of you.

“what’s up with you?” he asks, his tone teasing but laced with genuine curiosity.

you shake your head, the words tumbling out in a rush. “it was just wheezie.”

“wheezie?” he echoes, confusion crossing his face. he brushes past you, heading straight for the kitchen. “what the hell are you doing here? my party’s tonight.”

you follow him out of curiosity as you peek into the kitchen. wheezie stands by the fridge, looking completely unbothered, a slight grin on her face as she watches rafe approach. “no one’s driven me to my sleepover tonight,” she replies.

rafe’s expression shifts, annoyance flickering briefly before he recalibrates. he glances at you, then back at his sister, considering his options. you can see the gears turning in his head as he weighs the possibility of driving her himself or asking you to do it. neither option seems appealing to him.

“let me— let me call them,” he says, scratching the back of his head, his frustration evident. “wait, where’s rose?”

wheezie grimaces, “rose wouldn’t drive me.”

rafe’s jaw tightens slightly, reaching for wheezie’s arm and gently guiding her out of the kitchen. “yeah, but she will if i ask her to,” he mutters.

as they head upstairs, you linger behind, watching rafe lead wheezie toward the other bedrooms. you hear rafe calling out to ward and rose, checking to see if they’re home.

the lightness of the moment is comforting, a reminder that even amidst the chaos of the party ahead, there are these small, intimate moments that ground you.

“you’re seriously telling me that neither of them is home?” you hear him ask wheezie.

“yup.”

“you could’ve just texted me or something,” he mutters, running a hand through his hair in frustration. “now i’m gonna have to call someone to pick you up, and—”

your phone buzzes in your pocket. you pull it out, glancing at the screen to find a message from sarah.

‘ hey! just a heads up, i’m bringing kie, john b, pope, and jj to the party tonight but shhh—don’t tell rafe! ’

your heart skips a beat. the mention of the pogues sends a thrill through you. you can almost picture rafe, arms crossed, brow furrowed, ready to kick them out before they even set foot in the door.

you quickly type back an ‘ okay ’ before slipping your phone back into your pocket.

the atmosphere of the party envelops you like a thick fog, the pulsating music thrumming in your chest and the chatter of laughter echoing off the walls.

you clutch your drink—a simple soda—trying to keep it low-key among the flurry of cocktails and colorful concoctions swirling around you.

it’s safer this way, you tell yourself. one drink is enough to keep you grounded, but the anxiety gnawing at the edges of your mind only amplifies with each tick of the clock. you sneak a glance at your phone, the screen illuminating the time.

8:15 pm.

your stomach twists at the thought of what’s to come. when the night ends, you’ll be sent back to the reality you came from. the thought is like a weight pressing down on your chest, making it hard to breathe. you don’t want to think about it, yet it lingers in your mind.

you wander through the crowd, trying to find your place among everyone. you catch snippets of conversations—inside jokes, teasing banter, and screams into the pool—but none of it feels like home.

as you continue to scan the backyard from rafe’s patio, anticipation bubbles inside you. you’re waiting for sarah and the others, your lifeline.

you shift your weight from one foot to the other, tapping your foot lightly against the floor. your eyes flicker around any entryways, but the they remain disappointingly empty. a small sigh escapes your lips, and you lean against the rail, trying to just enjoy yourself for now.

meanwhile, a few people have gathered at the edge of the patio upstairs so far to jump into the pool, their screams of echoing in the night air. each leap is followed by a moment of tension as they disappear beneath the surface, leaving you to wonder how deep the pool really is.

your heart races as you watch them emerge, fists pumping in the air, whooping with joy as they surface. it’s relieving and terrifying all at once.

the sight sends a shiver of anxiety down your spine; what if someone lands wrong? you mentally scold yourself for being so cautious, but you can’t shake the worry.

then you see him—topper—bursting from the water with a laugh that cuts through the noise like a beacon. he looks as if he’s having the time of his life, and he’s not alone.

your gaze narrows, and you lean closer over the railing, trying to make sense of the chaotic scene below. just as topper circles around in the water, his eyes catch yours. there’s a moment of recognition, and then he’s grinning, gesturing toyou excitedly as if he’s known you forever.

“y/n! come down!” he shouts. the world around you blurs for a moment, the party fading into the background as you process his words. the thought of jumping off the edge of the patio and joining the frenzy sends a thrill of both excitement and fear coursing through you.

you look around, searching for rafe among the crowd, hoping to find some semblance of reassurance. but he’s nowhere to be seen.

what’s the worst that could happen?

with a deep breath, you push yourself away from the railing and make your way down the stairs, heart pounding with every step.

as you step closer to the pool, you spot topper in the water, his head bobbing above the surface, catching sight of you with a grin.

“y/n, hey, come on! you have to jump next!” he calls, his voice cutting through all the chatter and mini-splashes. the sight of him, carefree and inviting, is enough to pull you closer, and you can’t help but smile back, even though your anxiety lingers. “i’ll go with you, come on.”

“like, jump in?” you echo, your heart racing at the thought. “but—”

“come on!” he urges, laughing as he splashes a little water in your direction. “you can’t just stand there! everyone’s watching!”

the pressure builds around you. the playful cheers from the party-goers make it hard to say no.

“i don’t know, topper,” you start, hesitating, but he’s already bouncing on the balls of his feet. the energy of the moment is contagious.

“it’ll be fun! i promise! it’s just a quick jump, and you’ll be in the water before you know it!”

you have to think about it, but he’s already pulling himself out of the water, droplets cascading from his body as he lands on the pool deck. he reaches for your hand, leading you inside the house until you’re all the way upstairs.

your heart is racing, not just from the excitement but from the sheer heights. when you finally reach the patio, you realize you’re standing on a ledge overlooking the party, the glow of the lights below illuminating the space around you.

topper glances back at you, his smile widening as he takes in your full outfit. “you’re not going to jump in like that, are you? tell me you’re wearing a bathing suit under there or something!” he laughs, a hint of drunkenness in his tone.

your stomach drops as you look down at your outfit, definitely not swimwear. “i—uh—” you stammer, panic rising. there’s no backing out now.

in a moment of boldness, you decide to just go for it. “fine! just . . . give me a second!” you tug at your dress, pulling the top off in a flurry of nerves and uncertainty, followed by the bottoms. as the fabric slips off, you kick off your shoes, unsure where to put them.

topper looks amused, almost like he can’t believe your spontaneity, and he reaches for your discarded clothing, tossing them to the side as you stand there in just your bra and underwear. “okay, yeah!” he laughs.

the thrill of the moment surges through you, mingling with the embarrassment of being so exposed. but before you can dwell on it, topper gestures to the edge of the patio, the two of you jumping the railing to stand on the ledge. “okay, on the count of three! ready?”

your heart pounds, not just from the heights but from the anticipation of what’s about to happen. “wait! are you sure it’s deep enough?” you ask, glancing down at the water.

“of course! just trust me!” he insists.

just as you begin to regain your bearings, your eyes catch a glimpse of rafe stepping out through the back door of the house. confusion paints his features as he scans the area, clearly searching for you. your stomach twists at the thought of him seeing you jump into the pool with topper.

would he be furious? the last thing you want is to make rafe angry, especially now, when things between you two are starting to feel so comfortable.

“y/n! where are you?” rafe calls, his voice laced with concern, and your heart sinks.

“oh no,” you mutter under your breath, your mind racing. you shouldn’t jump. take it back, you tell yourself, do it now!

it all happens too fast.

before you can process the situation, topper’s hand grabs your wrist, pulling you away from the edge as he shouts, “come on, let’s go!”

you barely have time to think as he counts down, “three! two! one!”

“hold on, topper, wait!” you cry, but it’s too late. his laughter fills your ears as he leaps off the edge, dragging you with him once more.

the world flips upside down, and you’re falling, the water rushing to greet you with a shock that takes your breath away.

when you resurface, you sputter, the water streaming down your face, eyes darting around for rafe. the last thing you saw before you jumped was his furrowed brow, and now you can only imagine the look on his face.

“you’re a natural!” topper laughs from behind you, and you whip around in the water.

“this isn’t funny!” you shout, pushing him backward even though you know it doesn’t do anything. “i said i didn’t wanna jump! what if rafe saw me?”

topper just shrugs, seemingly unfazed. “let him! it’s just a pool party, right? live a little!”

as you swim to the edge of the pool, the exhilaration of jumping fades into an unsettling reality. your heart pounds in your chest, and the night air is cooler than you expected, sending chills down your spine as you finally pull yourself out of the water.

“what the hell was that, y/n?” rafe’s voice cuts through the chaos of the party like a knife, raw and laced with a mix of anger and concern.

he strides over, water droplets still glistening on his skin from where he was splashed during your jump. his fury is palpable, and it makes your stomach twist.

“shit,” you whisper.

“you can’t just jump off stuff like that! what were you thinking?” he snaps, eyes narrowing as he glances at topper, “and you,” rafe directs his ire toward him, “you’re supposed to keep her safe, not lead her off to do stupid shit like that!”

“chill out, man,” topper responds, hands up in a mock gesture of innocence. “it was fun! she wanted to do it!”

“he’s drunk, rafe,” you try to tell him, but he’s not having it.

“fun? fun? you think it’s fun to put her in danger?” rafe’s tone is sharp, and you feel the tension radiating off him like heat waves. he steps closer, guiding you to the edge of the pool, his grip firm yet protective. “you could’ve gotten hurt. do you realize that?”

you swallow hard, feeling a mix of embarrassment and anger bubbling up inside you.

once your feet are planted on the ground, you furrow your brows, watching rafe’s face flush with anger, but something else catches your attention.

“what the hell?” you murmur. you notice something white dusting his nose, a stark contrast against his skin. your heart drops as realization dawns on you. you wipe at the white powder just beneath his nose. cocaine?

he instinctively moves to wipe his face clean, but you’re quicker. you slap his hand down, a surge of protectiveness overtaking you. “are you fucking stupid? what have you been doing?”

“y/n,” rafe begins, but there’s an edge to his voice. he opens his mouth to respond, but the words seem to catch in his throat. you can see the tension in his jaw, the way he’s trying to hold himself together.

feeling overwhelmed, you pull away from him, shaking your head in frustration. “i’m gonna go change,” you mutter, turning to head inside.

“y/n, wait!” rafe calls after you, but you don’t stop. you can’t.

the tightness in your chest feels suffocating, and you need to escape the intensity of the situation. you can hear topper laughing behind you, no doubt enjoying the spectacle of rafe’s anger, but you don’t care.

you bump into someone once you step inside, the sudden contact jolting you back to reality.

“whoa!” kiara exclaims, grabbing onto your arm to steady you. her eyes widen in recognition as she takes in your drenched clothes and the tension radiating off you. “y/n? what happened?” a warm smile lights up her face, but it falters as she notices your troubled expression. “wait, are you okay? you look upset.”

the noise of the party swells around you—laughter, music, the splashes from the pool—all blending together that it feels suffocating. you open your mouth to respond, but before you can find the words, kiara’s gaze shifts behind you.

“what did rafe do to you?” she asks, her tone sharp as she looks past you, and suddenly, you realize the source of her concern. but it’s not him. it’s a mistake.

from kie’s words, jj and sarah break away from the group in an instant, charging toward the two idiots arguing by the pool. you try to reach for their arms to stop them, but sarah insists on at least breaking up topper and rafe. jj is practically marching to start another fight probably. that’s what worries you.

“wait, no,” you murmur, feeling the panic rise within you. this wasn’t how you wanted the night to go.

you barely have a moment to gather your thoughts before kiara turns her focus back to you, concern etched on her face. “y/n, are you really okay? do you need to sit down or—”

“no, i’m okay! i’m literally fine, i—” you try to say, the noise of the party swallowing your voice. the music is pounding, and the crowd is moving, people laughing and dancing like nothing is wrong, but you can feel the chaos building around you.

“are you sure?” she asks, her voice barely audible over the bass thumping through the floor.

“I’m fine! i’m fine! i just jumped into the pool, kiara!” you scream, the stress of the night bubbling to the surface. the words spill out, louder than you intend, and you see kiara’s eyebrows shoot up in surprise at your outburst.

the overstimulation is becoming unbearable; the lights, the sounds, the emotions swirling around you—they all feel too much. you take a deep breath, trying to steady yourself, but it doesn’t help.

you try to look for john b and pope behind her, but it’s like on queue, they push past kiara and you, their expressions shifting from confusion to concern as they catch sight of the escalating situation.

you whip around, desperate to see what’s happening outside, your heart pounding. jj and rafe stand locked in a standoff, their faces inches apart, eyes blazing with unspoken words and simmering rage.

you glance at kiara, her wide eyes mirroring your own panic, and you both move instinctively toward the chaos. “rafe, stop!” you shout, but your voice is swallowed by the growing crowd around the pool.

“back off, jj,” rafe says, his tone low and threatening, but the challenge is clear. it’s like a match striking a fuse, igniting something deep within the tension-laden air. you feel the heat radiating from both boys, their emotions intertwining into something volatile and dangerous.

“why should i?” jj shoots back, his fists balled at his sides.

“get out of my way,” rafe snarls, and you continuously shove past people to get to the two.

before you can even think to intervene further, it all happens in a flash. you catch a glimpse of jj’s clenched fist, and your breath hitches in your throat. the world narrows to that single moment, where everything hinges on a single choice.

and then, before you know it, someone throws the first punch.

Love how they have those windbreakers.

"Not far the way I’m going to drive."

Why is my man running away if he's a normal guy?

good frame rate

*checking the gps on his phone* love it

oh NO it's getting CRUSHED lmao I loVE it!

early title card

Ooh car maze!!! I love it!

she just TACKLES him!

Love rysposito holding her off.

love the chains.

becks uh beckett my dude chill CHILL

AFTER THAT THERE'S NINE MORE!?!?

Looks like it is the same day still. Beckett changed at the wedding but she is wearing the same clothes now at the precinct & rysposito have changed too now

esposito looks so Happy!

(nice pic they are using for castle lol)

JE: So you can do what to him? (off her look) I was watching. Getting booted of the force is not going to help anything.

It's just like s4 finale/s5 premier

conveiniently lousy

Gates my beloved <3 (but she should be booted off the case) Oh wait nvm. unless you give me cause to.

sus fbi moments

friends & family & also just regular employees

In the event hhh

connors is right that IS sus.

it MIGHT have smth to do w her.

It's like that sammy keyes final book!

communication!!!

Alexis looks so unwell jhfsjksdlfj

MR: Your father will be home before you know it.

Me: How long is the show's hiatus?

Who's bringing the coffee? Becks it's obv not going to be castle

Esposito. He really loves her.

(someone had to bring her coffee. idk if I'll liveblog the audio commentary)

*knowing bracken himself is not behind this, esp not this early on*

3xk, mickey barbozza was the most recent one,,,

Esposito's scar is so Something

*knowing it isn't exactly castle's dad*

Vinny the scar!

Yeah he accused him of murder!

"What can I do to help?"

I love vinny

"this I did not know"

love the grey area love vinny love this stuff. Wait is it vinny or vinnie?

Already in the morning?

Panini <3

"that does not happen" I love the scar

*is castle* (that's not how it works)

JE: getting mad

Love ryan & esposito taking two different angles

Ryan give her a hug

that's true! we already have this stuff w 3xk!

girl he took voice lessons to sound like esposito he could surely take body movement lessons

(btw love the outfits & ig lighting too & all this stuff & the acting is good too.)

Martha sus.

Makes sense to me. Run off the road by an suv of COURSE I'd pay to have it crushed! it made me mad!

Exceot he asked for it to be crushed before!! it ran him off.

Martha sounds happy he's alive while becks sounds mad he's lying

it's authentic. & terrific?

{Why was CASTLE the one to pay for the car to get crushed tho?}

yeah why WASN'T castle under duress?

walking away from bekett would also mean walking away from alexis, that would NOT happen?

Vinnie turned over the money to help his friend Castle!

Mum guessed it was her wedding gift, like for castle's bday the 100th episode.

Call castle's dad

Love the handwriting & the montage scene.

WHERE HER MOM'S MURDER BOARD WAS HHH

Shawn Wash. Love how it's the same two paragraphs repeated over & over lol. Good set design. Well idk but fun set design.

SHE'S CALLING ALL THE WAY TO FRANCE! does she speak french fluently? or just some?

the chair!

noooo closing the shutters!

*little boat*

reminds me of that book where the mom was mentally ill so they couldn't ask for help when they were trapped in the boat.

"this is the USA coast guard, please move."

'this is the canadian lighthouse, that's not gonna happen'

What if you are knocked out & CAN'T ANSWER that u need help?

it wasn't the MIDDLE of the atlantic ocean babes!

THREE BULLET HOLES???

Like peter at the tomb

worst part is SHE didn't do anything to get him back, it just took time & a bullet shot boat

alexis <3

my man has a sunburn

going to be in a coma or smth. Girl chill it's ok. Don't expect him to wake up..

not treat him but... LOOK at him... soOOOO GOOD

yucky coffee.

esposito asking the hard questions. We need a devil's advocate!

ryan's pants look odd with that jackett or at least in this lighting

*beckett right behind them*

take a drink every time u hear the word dinghiy

Yay coast guard captain

my man is so smart.

Was she on the screen call with him at the hospital?

"henry jenkins" or so he's called

a month ago?

lmao look at those rods.

blue blue blue eyes omG

stole his clothes lol

key SEWN into his pants?

so he WAS shot!

a few WEEKS ago???

the other guy said nobody was home.

love the use of the word negative instead of just no.

*thinks the garbage bags contain castle's body parts before remembering he's in the hospital*

two person tent. Looking at the interior it looks more like a five folk tent. (well five if they sleep in mummy bags & head to toe)

"or some kids hanging around taking it for a joyride"

why wouldn't "they" clean up the tent?

late 30s (early 40s)

*takes esposito with her*

the tux would not be put away that way but I'll take it. Esposito is so mad at castle.

his wedding shoes!

his watch!

he was tracking the news to see if they had been able to find/rescue him yet

martha is so happy!

first thing he did was ask for you!

RC: Just so you know, the doctor said that kissing will speed my recovery.

I could clip

yeah it IS supposed to be a joke. I deal with being in a car collision with humour! We keep having crap to deal with when we are trying to get married, it's just so silly silly!

he's a writer he needs to start at the beginning

I think u can tell he is not faking it

he looks so exaasperated when he says "I was unconscious!"

Right yes. why?

I might ask "has it been a year?" or smth bc I'm Dramatic ( if i was castle)

I'd ask if it was supposed to be a joke. I'd ask for proof.

except if he planned this & called vinnie in the morning, he would have had to plan it & he'd remember things before the wedding accident! (techinically not an accident)

bc I want to go there!

Remember Jeremy?

esposito outfit nice, lighting too hard for me to pic. grey or black or navy with a v dark red tie. some pattern (caused by the weave I think, not actual dye)

ryan taking explanations & facts.

lmao tiny little crime scene box!

she's going to cry skdjflskdjfl I love i hate I love this

did he write it in his coma dream? is it an AU

except castle DID set it up! he was the one who set this up!

RC: Yeah, on the INLAND side!!! Not on the ocean side.

he did camp here tho!

some old guy

Not the same guy bwa bwa BWAAAAA

walk & talk

(ryan outfit <3)

Why the setup to be there? what about the evidence?

JE: Mm hmm castle. THEY faked it sure

Fenkins

Remember Jeremy? I want to see more of him I want to see the updates!

alexis is old enough to drink

I love how he moves his hand counter clockwise for tangled & then clockwise for untangled when he talks with his hands there

you DO lose hope & then you get it back!

staring at it was so sweet!

everyone has chairs by their desks!

Almost shot him? srs becks? ew lol

RC: Well, it’s not the same. I can’t remember. Though I do know I missed you terribly. Because there’s no way I wouldn’t.

(could clip)

this is soooo sweet

[beesechurgerzz]

- unreasonable gasp when technus' eye glasses got knocked out and i saw he had normal eyeballs like, had to process that for a moment xD

- the mirror nerd episode fucked me up, the dude's trapped in his personal hell since the 50's??? VILE

- actually no i can't even defend maddie since she didn't figure out danny's a ghost but also, HE DOES SUCH A BAD JOB AT HIDING IT, MY GUY YOU ARE SO OBVIOUS HOW DID NO ONE EVER KNOW

meanwhile, EVER SINGLE GHOST IN EXISTENCE KNOWS, WHAT IS THIS DANNY 💀💀💀💀

- that aside whenever tucker and sam cover up danny's transformation thats so heartwarming honestly

- DANNY HAS LIKE DIED TWICE CANONICALLY? TALK ABOUT BAD LUCK 😭 cool way to show how he got his magical girl powers but also like, the portal fucked him up so bad, twice, maybe we should give him a brea- oh who am i kidding the phandom tortures him more than anyone else 💔

- *the psychiatrist episode exists* oh i see why they say he doesn't like it in those posts *the mind control episode exists* oh i see why they say he doesn't like that in those posts *hospital episode exists* oh i see why they say-

- they love doing 360° turns when he goes ghost huhh whdhwjjdkwnd, this show has some really cool fight animations tbh!! i enjoy :]

- the framing in the identity crisis episode is *chefs kiss* hOWEver, they truly are the last 2 braincells </3 the whole ep is just the 'inside u are two wolves' except both are the most transmac looking dude's you'll ever see and they're both dumber than a rock

- where do i get friends like sam and tucker 😭 frr they always say the high school losers have no friends but then turn around and give them the realest friendships ever 💀 when is it my turn to be happy </3 fucked up and evil

- ok i love the box ghost i will become the number 1 box ghost protector

- danny's trans swag is immaculate, unmatched, unparalleled, you all clocked onto him so hard and you were all right

- they,,, they,,; vlad's voice actor,,,

THEY GAVE HIM THE SAME VOICE ACTOR AS THE ANGRY SMALL CHEF MAN FROM RATATOUILLE THAT IS FOULLL NO OFFENSE BUT WHY DID THEY DO THIS

- small compensation so since vlad's pastry swears dont work they just have him say the equivalent of 'balls' every time he fucks up and i can't stop giggling

- ember is,, reawakening forbidden memories,,,

i am god's weakest soldier

- walker's voice,,,, why is it,,, kinda,,,, *gets shot*

[chuuyrr]

hiii hehe i saw that ur requests are still open so i had this idea hehehehe if u remember that episode/chapter where it was emma’s bday and takehina followed her and mikey, could u maybe write that but instead of emma and mikey it’s teenager!fushiguro and megumi or yuji or even yuta? and toman could follow them while being scared bc y/n and mikey are dating? i really hope this makes sense bc it was funny in my head HAHSHE have a good day/night and i really hope this isn’t a bother

toman thinks scarlet witch! fushiguro! reader is seeing someone else

jujutsu kaisen x reader x tokyo revengers

masterlist of the series

warning(s): possible anime/manga spoilers for jujutsu kaisen and tokyo revengers

omg that episode/chapter had me dying lmao 😭and now it is toman's turn to imitate takehina. please i'm already laughing as i'm writing this request HSJEKSJS anyway, thank you for requesting dear anon! have fun reading <3

the founding members of toman including chifuyu, takemichi, nahoya and souya, with the exception of mikey, were on their way to the temple when they stopped by a convenience store beforehand to buy some snacks and ice cold beverages for the meeting because it happened to be a humid day. they weren't even wearing the jackets of their gang uniforms and were already gulping down the drinks they bought for themselves.

"why the fuck is it so hot today?" baji complained before taking big gulps of pepsi.

"i have no idea. let's just hurry up." draken let out a sharp exhale of breath as he used one of the flyers from the convenience store as a fan. not even the air conditioner in the store was enough to cool them down from the heat outside.

"oi, don't eat up all the snacks! we haven't gotten to the temple yet." mitsuya scolded pah, who was already opening a third bag of the snacks they had just bought.

"can't we stay here a bit longer?" takemichi inquired with a small pout, drinking a can of iced coffee along with chifuyu.

chifuyu shook his head, sighing. "we still need to attend the meeting though."

"we should go. mikey's probably waiting for us already." nahoya interjected, causing all of the toman members to groan but reluctantly comply.

everyone took their drinks and snacks with them and got up from their seats to exit the convenience store when takemichi, all of a sudden, let out a surprised scream, which instantly alerted the rest and made them jump back from the glass door.

"oi! what the hell are you screaming for?!" an agitated pah angrily scowled at the poor blue-eyed blonde boy.

baji was now holding takemichi by the throat as a nerve irked on his temple from annoyance. "you scared us! don't scream like that!'

as takemichi blubbered out words none of them could make out, souya had decided to speak for him upon seeing who was right outside the convenience store.

"isn't that [name]? mikey's girlfriend?"

chifuyu furrowed his brows along with the other members. "[name]-san?"

right outside, they spotted you dressed in casual attire, literally hugging a tall boy with black disheveled hair and dark blue eyes. the way you embraced him, with you rubbing your cheek against his chest and arms wrapping tightly around his torso—it didn't take long for the entirety of toman to scream in a panic, reacting the same way takemichi had acted.

after getting scolded and apologizing to the convenience store staff for screaming their lungs off, everyone continued to watch as the unfamiliar man returned your embrace with a much bigger one before ruffling your hair affectionately, prompting you to smile at him rather fondly.

the boy who was definitely taller than mikey might be cute and handsome looking and all, especially with the way his hair framed his face, which they all agreed on, but you had mikey.

"how can this be?" chifuyu was in a state of shock. his mouth was in agape, and his pupils had all shrunk.

nahoya quipped, snapping his fingers. "maybe it's [name]'s brother?"

"[name]'s only brother is megumi, and that guy looks nothing like megumi." draken swallowed thickly, shaking his head at smiley. "nor [name]'s yuuji-nii."

"there must be a misunderstanding. [name] wouldn't cheat on mikey. [name] loves mikey." mitsuya exclaimed in an attempt to lighten the rising tension in the atmosphere.

"then, explain why the hell is [name] being so lovey-dovey with that guy?" pah raised a brow.

"i don't know! maybe, they're just friends?" mitsuya sweatdropped, raising his hands in the air defensively.

"nah, i call bullsh!t. that is it, we're going to follow [name] and that guy!" baji exclaimed, which the toman members agreed on, except for draken and especially mitsuya, who refused to believe that was really the case.

they had no choice but to follow the guys and eventually forget about the gang meeting.

once you and the boy left and walked away from the front of the convenience store, they had finally exited, but not until mitsuya and draken had to apologize again for their screaming and brash actions earlier. all of them trailed after you two and skillfully hid behind posts, advertisement signs, and alleyways, which definitely earned them odd and strange stares from people who passed by them.

as the two of you walked, you suddenly took hold of his arm and linked yours around his, which baji and chifuyu immediately reacted to by snapping a picture using their phones, and almost panicked with the rest because they both had their flashes on.

"you idiots! are you trying to get us all caught?!" draken scolded the first division captain and vice-captain.

"we're trying to get evidences!" baji argued, showing the pictures he snapped and pulling chifuyu to his side.

mitsuya's eye twitched at the two, "with the flash on?"

fortunately, you were too busy with your new lover to notice their antics from behind, or even sense their presence at all. everyone gasped when you held onto his arm and closed the distance between the two of you. it made toman want to scream so badly. in fact, baji and chifuyu were so ready to square you up at this point, but they happened to learn something interesting as they caught wind of your conversation with him.

"how's miguel-san and the other sorcerers in africa?" you inquired.

"same old, he's still strict about my training, which is why it's nice to be back here. i haven't seen you in a long while nor gojo-sensei and the others." at that point, everyone's heads went static. everything became an error.

"holy crap, he's sorcerer—a jujutsu sorcerer." takemichi pointed out the obvious.

"and they've been seeing each other for a while now too." souya said in addition.

"[name]'s dad knows him? oh, crap." baji's eyes went wide as he pieced together the information. "is that why he refused to let [name] be with mikey?"

"this is bad! this is bad!" takemichi was already panicking so badly, he was already coming up with an exaggerated scenario of mikey fighting the guy with you, who they now know is a jujutsu sorcerer, inside his head.

"oi! oi! they're getting away!" pah got everyone's attention. "quick!"

toman continued to follow you two until you entered a cafe, which draken recognized as the cafe you and mikey would eat at. the thought of you taking someone else here for a date made him so disappointed in you. before chatting, the two of you ordered some iced coffee and sweets. everything seemed to be going just fine until they saw the brunette take a small, black box from his pocket and open it for you, causing you to stare in awe with a smile. everyone's mouths dropped to the floor.

"HE'S PROPOSING TO [NAME]! EVERYONE MOVE! MOVE!" takemichi panicked, holding the side of his head before pointing an index finger at you and him from outside.

at that instant, toman burst inside the cafe, which scared the other customers dining inside. the hinges of the cafe doors almost broke from their immense strength. they stomped towards you, holding an angry and betrayed look. you stared at each and everyone with wide eyes, along with your company.

you asked, now holding a confused look. "guys? what are you doing here?"

"um, y-you know these guys?" everyone glared daggers at the guy you were with. their lethal gaze caused him to yelp and hold a look of fright.

"HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO MIKEY-KUN, [NAME]?!"

with that, takemichi burst into tears as he outraged, which deeply confused you. in fact, all of their reactions confuse you.

"how could you bring him to the café where you and mikey would date? furthermore, let this guy propose to you while you're with mikey." draken's face faltered into a frown.

"what are you guys talking ab—as they continued to cause a commotion inside the café, another presence entered in the same manner they had stormed in. everyone, including you and your company, turned their heads to see toman's one and only infamous, invincible mikey, sauntering towards all of you.

toman screamed in a panic, especially takemichi who was crying his lungs out at this point, was absolutely petrified at the expression looming over his face.

"this is it, everything is done for." takemichi sobbed, shaking his head repeatedly as he clasped his hands together to pray. "our future is done for!"

everyone gulped as mikey began, "you.."

as everyone prepared for the fight of the century between a gang leader and a jujutsu sorcerer, mikey turned his attention towards toman instead of you and your company, and snapped.

"why the hell are you guys here? i've been waiting for hours. mucho and sanzu are the only division captains that showed up at the temple!" mikey yelled.

"ha? why are you shouting at us? we were following [name]!" baji retorted back.

mikey's tone dropped into a much calmer tone as he raised a brow. "why are you guys following [name]?"

"have you gone dumb or something? [name]'s cheating on you with that guy!" baji pointed an accusing finger at you and your company.

"ha? what are you guys talking about? yuta is one of [name]'s older brother figures."

just like that, the tables turned. it was toman who had gone dumb as they muttered a "mikey knows yuta?" in unison. there was suddenly a pin drop silence in the atmosphere afterwards, and then came awkwardness.

"...then, why is he holding a box out to [name]-san?" chifuyu blinked profusely.

"eh? this? it's my birthday gift and souvinir to [name]" yuta, the handsome man they now know, turned to toman and showed him the bracelet he had been meaning to give you.

"birthday? oh crap." baji's eyes widened as he and everyone else remembered the exact date today.

"the reason i was holding a meeting early was so [name] could spend time with her older brother, who had just come back from africa." mikey explained briefly, dark eyes slightly narrowing at the thought of them assuming such a thing about you.

"did you guys seriously think yuta-nii and i were together?" with that, you brought the palm of your hand to your face.

takemichi, chifuyu, baji, souya, nahoya, pah, draken and mitsuya nervously laughed as they avoided your now glowing red eyes.

"happy birthday, [name]..."

the next turn of events that followed suit ended up with you and everyone getting kicked out of the café for the commotion, toman endlessly uttering apologies to you and yuta, on their knees, as you and mikey held a look of disappointment together at them.

what a way to celebrate your birthday.

[istherewifiinhell]

can i offer u a sampling experience of being sad abt the ninja turtles.

[images descriptions same as alt text]

[ID: Cover of a hardcover copy of The Last Ronin. An older ninja turtle in full black garb and eye mask, is seem from behind looking to the side. On his back prominently shown are a bo staff, katana, and a sai, along with less distinct short cylindrical weapons, chains, and rope. END ID]

direct spoilers ahead. obv.

i mean. I know who it is. cause. internet. but it is cool to read and think about, the writing techniques, the visual language, and how their being used to both obscure and hint. so. if u found this post and dont wanna know. last chance. imma just use his name from here.

[ID: Two panels. 1. Mikey wading through knee high muck facing away. He says "Stay behind if it bothers you that much" and an off panel voice replies "Hey-- where *you* go, *we* go. You *know* that." 2. Close up of Mikey's face, he looks grim and says "Yeah. I know." End ID]

Absolutely delicious. Chewing my arm from the get. What could that mean? Who could be speaking. (-> knows this)

[ID: Mikey seen from the front, hes gesturing with a sai in hand and saying "Doesn't matter. The plan *stays* the same. I just need to get from *here*..." Behind him are the less detailed shapes of 3 other turtles, without extra clothing and armament, but with the same black eye masks. END ID]

YOU KNOW??? Ambiguity in story telling and also. Playing in that. Every time u have a new iteration, there can be new rules....

[ID: Mikey in a cautious crouch, arms ready in front of him. Off panel a voice says "How, tough guy? Grab a cab? That's a long-ass *hump*, and a mutant packed head to toe with weapons don't exactly *blend* in." A second voice says, "He's right-- we're *inside* the walls now. Security will be off the charts." Mikey replies "Tell me something a little more obvious. 'Sides, you know the drill..." END ID]

Character voice writing....... im so. Do u have a long standing relationship with these characters, we're gonna use that familiarity. To hurt u.

[ID: The three indistinct turtles with Mikey again, the tallest of which says "Good luck with that." Mikey, who faces away from them says "Luck's got *nothing to do with it. *Do*..." END ID]

(^first time seeing them and speaking at the same time)

[ID: Mikey seen from a low angle, framed with purple light, looking down. He says "What the hell?". Voice 1 says, "Is that... A *human* inside that armor?" Voice 2, "Looks like some kind of cyborg, I think. More synthetic than human." Voice 3, "A synthetic ninja? A stinkin' *synja!* What kind of sick freak *does* that to someone?" END ID]

[Has to take a moment] :')... u know.... my boys. my sweet boys... Anyway. This is one like. Oh yeah I know who everyone is, but if u didn't, there's kinda a fun trap in like. Who do you *think* makes the most puns. Tho safe to say Donnie gives himself away the most.

[ID: Mikey running, sunset city scape behind him, the weapons on his back clearly visible again. One voice says "Smooth moves." and another "Classic-- You *still* can't fly ten feet in a straight line." Mikey with his teeth grit says "Whatever. Shut up." END ID]

Could. Literally any force on earth stop ur brothers from chirping you after u crash a flying techno car. No <3.

[ID: Two panels. 1. Mikey, snarling as he looks at something over his shoulder. His narration boxes read "And now, after decades of murder and death... I've had *enough*." A voice says "Think you just ran outta *miracles*, bro..." 2. A bustling techno city area, with a place for flying cars to park. There are many armed figures around. A red narration box with its text in quotations reads "We've been in tough spots before, but that's practically *impossible*." END ID]

Long standing character trait of Mikey's good luck/belief in positive thinking subversion... also. You know classic comic book with their yellow narration boxes. Well, it didn't photograph so much but Mikey's are, subtly but def, more orange. So. HMMMM

[ID: A shot of Mikey from behind, kneeling in a place filled with pipes and lit a harsh red. Hes taken off most of his extra clothes, but kept the black mask. In front of him on the ground his and his brothers weapons are laid horizontally, and over them vertically, are each of their colourful eye masks. His narration boxes read "I miss my *brothers*. So much." End ID]

[Laying dead on the floor] someone get the sad 'you can't replace a brother' quote.... inconsolable.

Not pictured... by the way, and this gets a little. word. explicit violence and suicide attempt.... hes bleeding out after failing this, you know, last ditch suicide mission, and he takes out his sentimental belongings. (his dads journal too, also not pictured). and... is gonna run himself thru with leos now shattered katana. DESPITE. The protestations of one of the voices. who. he tells to shut up... like. okay. okay.

and just to keep a more casual talk with. spoiler outta the tags where id usually put it: its like. me and bro (who got me this!) both like. well. yeah ofc. last ronin is mikey. everyone knows this. ive seen posts. ask other brother. "is it... Leo?". no. book thats meant to hurt u. michelangelo WAS. a party dude.... now heres the saddest shit you ever did see.

in general. loving this. my fav activity of. like seeing a stories foreshadowing and well. i already know some things/doesnt even seem like they dont WANT u to put those pieces together. just. its interesting for the. I'm already really interested in how each adaption characterizes the turtles. and this is like. okay now put those skills to work. AND, the like. whose he talking to -> oh its his brothers -> are they actually there -> doesnt seem like it -> are they literal ghosts or metaphorical ghosts. which one, another fav topic of mine. two, even if im pretty sure they aren't literal ghosts, i still dont technically know, and THREE. my first turtle media (2018 show) DOES have literal ghosts in it. SO!!!

theres a little more after this in this. issue/volume that i did read,but did not get pics, but like yet more spoiler, he doesn't die in the first issue! lol. and theres some friendly faces, and a very wistfully unconscious guy dreams of a better time scene. (that also uses unmasked turtles to obscure the who's who of it all). I will probably revisit them. but the last page does have the name reveal and a "who are u talking to" like. can u image live reading that. id lose my mind. I knew all that and I still lost my mind.

I cannot BELIEVE i have work when theres being sad abt the ninja turtles i could be doing
