Lunch Is A Paper Sack

A/N: I was bored waiting for my bestie to arrive for luncheon. So take this. A little something about nothing really.

You showed up at the garage the following day. A little bit unsure of how to behave you stood there staring at the large numbers on the door just above the knocker. Should you knock or ring the bell or shoot her a text telling her you had arrived? Internally you groan because just a few months back you would not have hesitated to call. How time flies.

Still debating your next course of action the door unexpectedly opens and she’s standing there with a wide smile painted across her face. Seeing her reminds you of the panic attack you had the day before. This was going to be interesting.

“Are you just gonna stand there?” she says the smile never leaving her lips.

“How’d you..” you answer a little flustered.

She points to the CCTV just above the door. “Come in and stop being weird” she laughs grasping your shoulder and pulling you inside. 

She locks the door behind the both of you and motions for you to take off your jacket which she hangs on the coat rack already groaning under the weight of several other heavy coats. 

“Please tell me you’re here with some good news” she looks at you hopefully. 

You laugh. With all the awful scenarios swimming around in your head of how this day would play out this was not one of them. “I’m here to accept your offer, if it’s still on the table?”

She grins widely at you. Of course it was still on the table. She had lied yesterday when she said there were several eligible candidates waiting for a callback. 

“Great, come with me,” she says leading you further into the garage with a skip in her step. You follow her into the back office. You were happy to be able to spend some time around her. She was always fun to be around. And very easy on the eyes. 

The space was a large rectangle with plenty of room. It looked deceptively small. The office on the other hand, looked like an afterthought. Built as if the architect forgot they needed a space for admin work.

It was cramped with a small table and just enough space for 2 large filing cabinets. Nat leads you inside and grabs a large stack of files that were on the floor leaning precariously to one side like a miniature leaning Tower of Pisa. You chuckle remembering how she hated filing or any form of paperwork. 

“What are you smiling at?” she jokes as she drops the files onto the desk with a solid thud. It shakes you out of your daydream. 

“I can’t believe you’re paying me to sort these” you say adjusting the tower of files to stop it from tipping over.

“We could up your pay if-“ she starts.

“No! I meant you’re paying me too much for just filing” you quickly interrupt her. 

“Well…,” she adds, “you’re getting paid the big bucks because all this is confidential and we trust you.”

You look up and catch her eyes. 

“I trust you” she corrects herself quickly before adding, “the hassle will be converting them into digital files” she smiles apologetically as she notices your eyes widen a little.

“I’ll get right on it, boss!” you salute and she shakes her head in amusement. 

You take a moment to centre yourself once she leaves your small space. Being around her always left you feeling lightheaded like you had been sucked, chewed on and unceremoniously spat out of a whirlwind. Luckily for you, you had an excellent view of her fussing over her bike, or biting her lower lip in concentration. Just because you were on a diet didn’t mean you couldn’t look at the menu.

The Silent Treatment

Wanda Maximoff x Reader

Genre: It's a surprise

Warnings: A bit suggestive

Word count: 1429

Summary: You give Wanda the silent treatment after she betrays you

T/N: Malysh = baby (Thanks to @veronika-y for the list I always refer to 🖤)

A/N: I wanted to write something, so @cuinaminute229 gave me the prompt - "You can't break up with me. We're married." @mirrorballwn was there too and asked for Professor Wanda although I don't think this is what she had in mind lol

I hope you like this. Let me know what you think! 🙂

You hear the front door unlock from where you are, already in bed reading a book.

After college today Wanda went out for a meal with the other members from the faculty. You were glad she was out longer than usual not wanting to see her today.

'Sweet and innocent Professor Maximoff' is how she is known, if only her colleagues and students knew what she was really like. Maybe she wouldn't be such a favorite anymore.

You knew though. You saw past the pretty smile and soft voice. You knew what kind of person lay beneath. No one knows of her back stabbing ways.

A faint, 'honey, I'm home!' makes its way to your ears but you make no effort in responding. After what she has done, how can she believe everything is okay?

While she approaches you can hear her talk about her day. Stupid questions from students. Having to deal with Stark's bad jokes during dinner. Wanting to get home to see you because she hasn't all day.

The words of an evil person.

Last night, you were pretty sure you made it clear you were unhappy. She betrayed you and now she is acting like nothing happened.

You remain silent. You have nothing more to say after the events from the previous night.

Making her way around the bedroom she gets ready for bed, still droning on about the events that took place today.

She turns in your direction, seeing you busy with your book she walks over, planting a soft kiss on your head before making her way to the bathroom, "You're quiet today, malysh."

'Malysh.' How dare she. Despicable. It makes you sick to your stomach.

Even more so because you don't know how long it's been since you've turned a page of your book. The thoughts in your mind prevent you from concentrating on anything else, only Wanda's actions.

Wanda returns, placing her rings she had forgotten to take off, in front of the vanity mirror as she finishes her spiel of the day. When you don't look up to her once again with your usual smile she begins to worry because you haven't said a word to her since she has arrived home.

"Malysh..." She begins, "what's going on?"

Oh, so now she cares? You finally turn to Wanda with a hard look that takes her back slightly.

"I told you, we're broken up," you say monotonously, then turn your attention back to your book to continue 'reading'.

Wanda furrows her eyebrows, wondering what it was she could have done to make you act so cold towards her. Then it dawns on her.

Rolling her eyes, smiling to herself Wanda finishes rubbing in her moisturiser. Slowly, she makes her way over to you, climbing onto your lap, pulling the book out of your hands at the same time. You look the opposite way, annoyed, as she places it on the side table.

"Y/n-"

"Don't." You say, resolutely.

"This is still about last night? I said I was sorry," Wanda coos, trying to make eye contact but not forcing you to look her way.

"It was unforgivable, Wanda," you say and return to silence, crossing your arms.

Wanda lets out a sigh and instead of using words she scoots closer to you. Her attempt to kiss your cheek is intercepted by your hand.

"Baby," she whines, extending the word, "it's not that big of a deal."

You turn to Wanda with an incredulous look, "Not making someone pay rent is a clear rule violation!" You exasperate, "Everyone else made their partners pay, why did Nat get away with not making Maria pay? And then you took her side! It was the highest form of betrayal in my eyes."

She tries not to smile but it's so hard with how seriously you have been taking this.

"Stickler Steve was the only one on my side last night, so he's the only friend I have left as far as I'm concerned, and…" you make a fake look as if you are remembering something, "oh yeah, we're broken up."

Wanda doesn't bother hiding her smile now, the weekly game night with your friends always ends with a new story, this time it is centred around your competitiveness. "Well that's too bad. You can't break up with me, we're married," Wanda scoffs.

"So you do remember you're married to me and not to Nat and Maria. As my wife, you are supposed to take my side, it's in the contract," you make up. "I can't believe Tony took their side too," you finish with a scowl.

"Baby, I said I was sorry." When Wanda sees you are not making any attempt to say anything else, she realises she will have to take it up a notch. "Let me make it up to you," she says quickly then kisses you before you can even think. The taste of toothpaste and Wanda's lingering perfume overtake your senses. She presses harder into you, taking your breath away.

You pull your head back, hands on Wanda's shoulders to keep her away, "N- No. Y- You're not allowed to kiss me," you stutter, clearly affected.

"No?" she questions playfully in a low voice, moving forward against your hands. When her lips press against yours again you 'attempt' to push against her shoulders again but quickly crumble and get lost in the kiss.

As it progresses you roll over moving your kisses to her neck, a hand rising under her shirt making her moan. Wanda smiles when she sees where this is going, there is no way you are going to stop now.

Your will is only so strong when it comes to Wanda.

…

Your eyes are closed as Wanda lays on top of you, legs tangled together in the bed sheets. She threads her fingers through your hair, her warm body pressed against yours not helping you wanting to stay 'angry' at her.

"I'm still mad at you, you know," you sigh. Inwardly cursing yourself because you wanted your words to come out more seriously than they do.

Wanda hovers over you, moving her legs to either side of your waist, a position that is also not helping you school your features to be mad at her. You can feel the aftermath of your activities between her legs, her heat radiating on your stomach.

She gets you to look her straight in the eye by squashing your cheeks together and pulling you to look in her direction. "Y/n. I'm sorry," she says seriously, holding heavy eye contact, trying to stop a smirk from appearing on her face.

Cupping your cheeks with both hands after you look away dramatically, Wanda starts to place quick kisses all over your face saying "I'm sorry" after each one.

You let out an airy laugh, "Okay! Okay. I accept your apology."

Wanda smiles and pecks your lips. As you continue to speak she rests her weight fully on you leaning her chin against her hands now resting on your chest, "This doesn't mean I forgive you! You have to prove yourself on the next game night," you pout, running your fingers through her hair forcing her eyes to close.

Wanda hums, a cheeky smirk overtaking her face, "Do you still want to break up with me?" She asks, opening her eyes while biting her bottom lip, raising an eyebrow waiting for your response.

You pretend to think of your reply, "For now? No."

"For now, huh?" She says, placing her hands either side of your head hovering over you, "I guess I should make the most of you while I have you," she says huskily as she rolls her hips against you and she moves in to kiss you.

Once again she takes your breath away and you have no choice but to oblige, placing your hands on her hips.

When you pull away, Wanda rests her head against yours allowing you both to catch your breath.

Wanda is the best thing that has ever happened to you so you make sure she knows that. You move a hand to rub her cheek with your thumb, "I love you," you tell her as if the room is full of people and you are telling her a secret.

Once Wanda replies with her 'I love you' you bring her lips back to yours and show her in more ways than one, just how much you love her, the game night forgotten… until the next time you needed to remind her of her betrayal of course.

A/N: Did you think they were going to break up? April fools, I guess... Hehehe

Episode 13 was...something

I have to be real with you all: I don't think I liked this episode very much. And no, it has nothing to do with my theory. This is a lot more serious than that. But hey, we're actually moving forward with the plot, and there's a lot to discuss about this episode

Let's cover the big things in detail, shall we?

Levi the Moral Sociopath

So let's get this out of the way: yeah, I was probably wrong here. I thought maybe Arei had talked to Levi about his secret and they reached a mutual understanding, and that turns out not to have been the case. In ways that NOBODY predicted.

See, we were all under the impression that Levi had moral reasons to kill and that's why he holds "no remorse." Turns out that interpretation was meant literally; as in, Levi doesn't experience remorse. Or compassion. Or empathy.

From the way he describes it, it sounds like Levi has Antisocial Personality Disorder or something similar, something that impedes his sense of empathy. See, there's two types of empathy to consider: Cognitive Empathy and Affective Empathy.

Cognitive is where you can interpret the emotions of another, while Affective is the ability to share in emotional experiences with others. Low cognitive empathy is what autistic peeps (such as myself) experience, while low affective empathy is what one would associate with sociopaths. They recognize emotions in others and mimic them accordingly, but they're not able to share or really understand them.

Levi...seems to be lacking in both. He has trouble interpreting emotions and he admits he doesn't really feel anything when it comes to the others; their deaths might as well be the deaths of complete strangers on the other side of the world. He murdered three strangers and his own father, yet he barely remembers them because he's moved on since then.

But Levi is not an evil person. Quite to the contrary, he still believes in doing good and helping people, even if he has no emotional attachment to doing so, because it guarantees him a better and easier life than continuously being a delinquent. He may not really be able to feel compassion for others, but he'll still try and help protect them. That's such a rare presentation of a character with low empathy, especially compared to the more common stereotype that they're all serial killers, and I just think that's really neat.

Way more interesting than him being the volatile, crazed murderer so many believed he was.

2. Hu, Veronika and Nico

So while it was largely skimmed over, here's what I did get right: Hu is the one who's attempted suicide three times and Ronnie has engaged in self-harm in the past. The latter didn't share because she decided it would be more interesting to hold onto it, and also because she considers suicide a boring motivation. Concerning.

And as it turns out, we finally discussed the murder method and they managed to draw an important conclusion: Nico's attempted murder of Ace and our current murder do indeed have a connection. That entire scene wasn't just there to happen, I'm still willing to believe that it was due to David's influence and that was the first attempt.

Because, again, the last people we saw with David before the attempted murder were Nico and Hu. And then Nico tries to kill Ace. And then Arei apparently dies in the same method.

Does that mean Nico is the culprit no? No, probably not. As I've said many times, we have to consider that rule that the Blackened doesn't have to be the murderer, they have to be the "most mastermind-y." Nico also really doesn't seem to have any motivations, at least at this point in time. Levi seemed like he did, but as he explained it, it became clear he had even less reasons to do so than we thought. Nico already has very few reasons themself.

This isn't us zeroing in on the culprit, just moving the story along. And boy did we REALLY need that. Now time for the part where Mod complains.

3. The Wheel-Spinning Is Becoming A Real Problem

Now, one thing I've praised DT for in the past is how well it handles foreshadowing. Small details always come back, no matter how seemingly innocuous. It really gives the impression that everything in the story matters in some respect, which is what good stories should do.

...But we've only just NOW started discussing the murder plot, and it took only a couple minutes to say what many of us have been saying: they used the carousel the hang the victim and snap their neck using the trash and the rafters. We're on Episode 13 of this chapter. It took us 5 episodes and 17 months to get here.

That's what's made this trial and this chapter in general so frustrating to me, because most of our time hasn't been spent on what's relevant to the situation at hand. Most of it has been spent on tangents about secrets, or just pointless nonsense and comedy hijinks. And I get it, this is DR, that's to be expected. But at this point? We should have more information than we do, because we only have a handful of episodes to work with and so many things left unexplained.

I harped on the smaller details because time was devoted to them, attention was drawn to them, and I refused to believe they're going to be totally irrelevant to this chapter. Now I worry they are and I have to wonder why time was spent on them this chapter and not the one(s) where they'll actually matter.

There were so many tangents this chapter and so much time spent on discussing them, I want to believe we're building to something for the climax.

"You mean your theory, right?" You may ask.

And I have to be honest, the theory is barely on my mind at this point. My concern isn't just the many, many tangents that don't seem to add anything, but the direction DT seems to be heading.

4. What even was that scene with Arei?

I have...so many questions about David's flashback.

To immediately dispel the obvious question, no, he's not lying here. If we're allowed to see it, that means it's what actually happened. What Arei said in that scene was what really went down. And I'm not really happy about that.

Now, I'll admit, I had a very negative initial reaction to that scene. Arei confronts David about his secret, and it turns out...she's relieved that it's true. My initial reading of that scene was that she was giving up on being a good person because David being a liar has proven it's pointless. She then goes on to say that Eden's probably done something terrible as well, so there's really no such thing as a good person, and it really felt like a cynical, mean-spirited undermining to everything that came before.

But revisiting it, that's not really what happened. TA and Poi pointed out how, no, what she really seems to be saying by "there's no such thing as a good person" is there's no one who's just naturally morally upstanding. And that it's okay, because it means she's not too far gone.

What came off as her giving up really seems to be more of her deciding not to live by some arbitrary standard about who isn't and isn't a good person, because everyone's probably done something they really regret. Her saying Eden's probably done something terrible isn't dismissing all her good efforts, since she still considers her a friend. It's her accepting that labels like "good person" are meaningless, and that it shouldn't stop you from trying to be better.

And she extends a hand to David, hoping that maybe both of them can be better in the future.

And David...doesn't share a word of this with anyone, especially not Eden. That means that scene only exists for the audience's benefit. We're meant to consider what she said for whatever reason, and while my initial interpretation wasn't wrong, I do have concerns about that.

First of all, while this could still work with my theory, this is probably the biggest factor that changes things. At this point, I'm willing to accept there's an 80% chance I'm wrong. The problem is, theory or not, I worry what exactly showing us that scene is meant to suggest. Why did we as the audience need to see it for dramatic irony purposes?

There are only three interpretations that really come to mind, and I have to say, I'm not fond of two of them:

My theory is correct and this is all part of Arei's 4000 IQ play.

My theory is wrong and that scene only exists to twist the knife for our sake, especially if David is the Blackened.

My theory is wrong, David is the rival, and that scene exists to facilitate his future character development.

And that last one is fridging. Like, it's blatant fridging, where a (frankly more interesting) female character dies in order to spur development in a dude. I'm going to be genuinely pissed if that happens, because it renders her entire character arc this chapter pointless and ends it in such poor taste. It's also a very dumb course of action because why would you ever say all this to someone you know is a MANIPULATOR WHO TAKES ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE?!

The second one is just poor writing, where it's only there to hurt the audience a little bit more. It's unnecessary and ends things on such a pointlessly bittersweet note. But I'll take that over option 3, because I genuinely don't give a shit about David and I really don't want Arei's death only happen to focus on him more. He doesn't want to change, he believes it's better to sacrifice everyone's lives for some cause he refuses to disclose.

And at this point, I'm pretty sure I'm wrong. Whatever, I expected to be wrong anyway, but that's hardly my biggest concern.

My biggest concern is that DT is resorting to genuinely bad writing decisions and it's going to have a lasting negative effect on the story. I don't understand what other interpretations there could be with that scene, and I really don't like the possibilities we do have. Everything I point to as a basis for my theory could end up being completely pointless to the story, and I have to ask what the point was.

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm reading all this in bad faith and something else will happen, and we'll spend the remaining episodes discussing everything I've brought up in detail. I've been burned a lot by stories I've enjoyed going in very poor directions and characters I got invested in bore the brunt of it. Regardless of my theory being true or not, I don't want the same to happen to DT.

And I can see reasons why I may be wrong here: David only really gives a damn about Xander, for instance, and we've yet to really discuss the hows and whys of the murder. And I still wonder why J has been getting so much focus when she was barely in Daily Life.

Overall, while I got really negative here, I hope next proves me wrong and things head in a new direction.

A Wall Dogs World

Prompt: Soulmate Au, where you have a streak of your hair matching your soulmates. (this includes when you dye the hair) (if you have dirty blonde hair I'm sorry lol)

Summary: In which Kid Danger finds his soulmate in a rough wall dog. Will she give up her status on the team for her soulmate or will her soulmate force her away from him in an attempt to keep his identity hidden.

P.S. in this one Veronika is just a friend of y/n instead of being the love interest obviously

Warnings: she/her pronouns, bad flirting bc I can't flirt for shit 😂, probably some cussing, may some spelling errors, kissing

Why'd it get so long 😭

Angst, fluff

Kid Dangers point of view:

The plan was going as Captain Man and Kid Danger had planned, that was until Henry had to shoot the tracking device to "prove" he was not with Captain Man anymore. But Jasper had proved to be a worthy substitute.

The Wall Dogs had brung him to the Old Maple Grill to meet Van Del so Kid Danger could become a permanent member.

Henry was so nervous while walking to the hide out he was twirling his soulmates hair out of pure habit. He hoped that they could feel him twirling it but no one he knows has met their soulmate, only settled for someone "good enough". It was almost impossible to find your soulmate seeing as there are 8 billion people on earth. Most people gave up on it.

He walked in to see a girl punching the boxing bag in the corner of the room. Van Del was sitting in the corner of the room near a big pot of paint he seemed to be mixing.

After hearing Van Del yell out who was here the girl immediately turned to the group. I then got a good look at her, she had beautiful hair but what really caught my attention was the streak of dirty blonde in her hair. That same color in her hair matched the one streak in my own.

I was distracted the entire time Van Del was speaking until he said something to the girl. "Y/n get over here and show Mr. Danger around." He said gesturing towards me.

Y/n pov:

I wasn't allowed on this mission, something about needing to be less risky or whatever. I hear Veronika yell to my dad about who they found? What was she on about?

I look over and freeze for about 2 seconds. It's Kid Danger, holy shit. He's even hotter in person. Wait why is he here? Shouldn't he be arresting us? We lock eyes and that's when I see it. The very obvious streak of soulmate hair. It looks like mine, wait but that can't be anyone can have the same color hair as me... right?

My dad tells me to show him around and my heart skips a beat. I walk over to him masking my anxiety. "Hey kiddo, follow me." I say teasingly, I have to keep my friends entertained and act tough. If they ever found I liked him I would never live it down.

Kid Danger just stares at me like I've given him 90 kittens. Why is he staring at me like that fuck that's attractive. "You're beautiful." If anything that was the one thing I never thought I would hear from Kid Danger. All my friends burst into laughs with Veronika pushing me closer to him.

I didn't wanna look like I was embarrassed by his comment so I cocky replied "I could listen to you complimenting me all day, if you'd like to continue pretty boy." The surrounding area filled with oooo's and woah's along with some laughs. Mostly coming from the boys of the group, t-paint, two canz, and some others. At his Kid Danger blushed. Omg he blushed I can't believe he's blushing. "Follow me." I say putting my hand under his chin slowly pulling him towards me.

----------------------------------------------------

Henry's pov:

She's beautiful, I can't do this, I don't wanna go through with it! She's my soulmate but she's a criminal even if they refuse to call themselves criminals they still are. She's supposed to be my enemy. Maybe maybe it's not true. Maybe it's a coincidence. Oh what am I kidding she's the one, my one. I can feel it. Oh this is bad this is really bad.

After she shows me around she brings me back to Van Del. He says that I need to prove I belong here. "What do you mean? Prove I belong?" I ask suspiciously. "You have to get the mark of the Wall Dogs." y/n says like it was obvious.

y/n pov:

My dad does the test with the melon showing how it will sear into his flesh, and the kid gets a little squirmy. "Now hold out your arm." "Wait can't I just do that to a melon or something?" He's starting to sound panicked now. "What about if I swear on a bible or something."

Just then part of Captain Man busts through the door. "Kid Danger, prove your loyalty to us!" Van Del yells at Kid Danger but the only emotion I see written on his face is... relief. I knew it was too good to be true that I would find my soulmate and he'd be ok with my forced lifestyle. "I only have one thing to say to you!" Kid Danger yells to Captain Man but then he bursts into a smile, "I am sooo happy you're here!" he says running over to his partner. He then explains his entire plan to trick us and they start trying to arrest us.

"Shit" I say trying to make a run for it with Veronika. Kid Danger blocks the exit and our only way out. Veronika turns around to look for another exit and instead joins in the fight with the other Wall Dogs leaving me and my soulmate alone. "Just let me go please." I plead with the superhero. He sighs and looks at the ceiling. "What are you doing?" I ask because he looks stupid just staring at the ceiling instead of answering my damn question. "I really hope you don't escape while I look at this super cool ceiling." He says. I get the hint and run past him, only to turn around and kiss his cheek and whisper to him to meet me by the Hollywood sign before making my escape.

----------------------------------------------------

I turn around when I hear footsteps. "Hey it's me." Kid Danger says trying to not get hit for sneaking up on me. "So why'd you let me go?" "Because you're obviously my soulmate." He says touching his soulmate's hair color. "Could be a coincidence." I say sitting down on one of the big rocks. "Wanna test that theory?" "How?" "Like this." He says before leaning in and kissing me.

It was pure magic and you could even feel it in the air. There was absolutely no way we were not soulmates from the way it felt. It was so, right.

Sincerely, Coraline Jones 🐈‍⬛

A/n: it's funny cause this was supposed to end with just a kiss but that damn other fic has broken my brain and I needed to procrastinate going back to it for a little while. Anyways, enjoy this unhinged fic cause I stayed up till 1am writing this lil pot of nonsense <3

You were settled down, just about to open your book when a redhead burst into your cabin.

The two of you just stared at each other.

"Can I help you?" You asked uncertainly, suddenly second guessing that this was even your cabin to begin with.

"No, just-" She cut herself off, looking around the cabin before her eyes settled back on your face "act like we know each other?"

Ah. So she's not bought a ticket then. At least she's pretty. You thought to yourself as you gave her a curt nod. She took that as an invitation to sit down opposite you.

You could feel her silently watching you as you tried to read the same paragraph for the third time. With a sigh, you closed your book and looked at the woman opposite you. Her full lips, green eyes, and high cheekbones gave her an effortless sort of beauty.

"Train hopping?" you asked. Perhaps it wasn't the best idea to ask a stranger about their potential crimes but you figured this was ridiculous enough and if she didn't like it, she could crash in someone else's train carriage.

"Something like that." Her expression was guarded but her eyes were curious.

People's eyes give too much away. Your grandmother told you that.

"Where are you headed?"

"Same place as you."

"What's your name?" Granted, that should have been the first question you asked but you weren't expecting company.

"What's yours?"

"I asked first."

"You also got answers to all those other questions. It's my turn."

You scoffed "I'd hardly call those answers. My name is Y/n. Now that's an actual answer."

"Natalie."

Something about the way her demeanour shifted made you think she was lying but this was a long train journey. You'd get the truth out of her eventually.

"So Natalie, are you going to answer any of my questions truthfully?"

"My answers haven't been not truthful." She leaned back in her your chair.

"They haven't been truthful either."

Her eyes gleamed. She seemed to like this game. "Ask me another."

"Why? You'll just tell me another half-truth" You wanted to pout but that would be childish and the last thing you wanted was for this woman to think you were a child.

"How else will we pass the time? You can try to get the truth from my half-answers." The innocent look on her face made you suspicious.

"I mean I have plenty to pass the time. You don't even have hand luggage. It seems like you're the one who needs entertainment more than I do."

"Fine. Go back to your book then." She turned nonchalantly, looking out the window with her chin resting in one hand.

You opened your book again when she gasped. You ignored her and she was silent for a few moments before gasping again. She continued this for ten minutes before you gave up reading yet again.

"What?"

Natalie smiled at you triumphantly "The clouds are just so pretty."

You sighed. "Tell me your name- your real name and I'll play your game."

"I go by Natasha now." Her voice was a little quieter than it had been, a little more muted. You wanted to know why.

"Where are you from?"

"All over." Glee entered her face now you were entertaining her idea again. You couldn't help but smile.

"Are you a natural redhead?"

"Does this look dyed to you?" She sounded slightly offended.

"Got any siblings?"

"Sort of."

Strange answer. Most people either had siblings or didn't. Maybe they were estranged. Or maybe it was more of the 'found family' sort of situation.

"Boyfriend?"

"Used to. if you could call it that."

You cocked your head. You wanted more than that.

"Well what would you call it?"

Natasha leaned forward, placing an elbow on each of her legs and lacing her fingers together. You had a sudden thought that this must be what your cat looked like before he pounced on an unsuspecting rat.

"Experimentation."

You mimicked her position, which may have been a bad idea because the two of you were now a lot closer than you should have been, but it was too late to back down now.

"And what did you find?"

You could have sworn her eyes darted to your lips for a brief moment but it was over before you could even register it properly.

"That women make prettier faces when they cum than men."

You choked on air, moving away from her as you felt your face heat up. Natasha just gently laughed at you.

"Y/n, are you a prude?"

"Oh, so you're asking the questions now?"

"Maybe your questions were boring me." that glint still hadn't left Natasha's eyes.

"Well were they?"

"No."

"Well ditto." You said, trying to calm your face and breathing.

"Ditto?"

"Yes. Ditto. The answer to your question - it's no."

"You sure?" Natasha bit her lip and looked at you through her eyelashes.

"Y-yep. 100% sure." you cleared your throat "A-anyway, do you like movies?"

"Yes."

"What's your favourite movie?"

"I like spy movies." Natasha looked about sheepishly.

"Why do you look so guilty?" The amusement in your voice was obvious enough that Natasha glared at you.

"Because I'm a super secret international spy."

"Uh hu. And you just readily gave up that information?" you asked, skepticism heavy in your voice

"Who's going to believe you?"

"Alright Miss super spy. Show me a super spy move then."

Natasha got off the chair, placing her left arm next to your head and leaning in close, her breath mixing with yours. Her eyes stayed on yours the whole time and just as you thought she was going to close the gap between you and kiss you, she pulled away triumphantly, your bracelet dangling from between her index and middle finger.

"That proves nothing. All that proves is that you're a thief." You tried to calm your flustered heart, your words coming out a little more clipped than they meant to be.

"A thief? No no, you're the one who stole my heart." Natasha smirked.

"Does that line ever work?" You laughed before reaching for your bracelet.

Natasha pulled the bracelet away from you just as your fingertips brushed it.

"It's pretty. I might keep it." Natasha gently twirled the bracelet, the metal chain glinted in the afternoon sun and bounced light around the carriage.

"Natasha give it back."

"But I like to keep pretty things." Natasha looked dead at you when she said 'pretty things' and you'd be lying if it didn't do something to you.

"It's not yours to keep."

"But it could be. For this train ride at least." You had the faintest feeling the two of you were no longer talking about the bracelet.

"You're not a magpie. Give it back."

"Ah the magpie, my spirit animal." Natasha looked wistfully out the window and you followed her gaze, half expecting to actually see a magpie.

"Natasha whatever-your-last-name-is, did you just offer up free information? You're getting soft."

Natasha let out a note of laughter, looking almost shocked at herself for, indeed, telling you something unprompted.

"I suppose I did. You're making me soft." Natasha told you in an accusatory tone.

"I am not! You're doing this on your own."

"If Bruce could see me now..." Natasha seemed to shrink just the tiniest amount as she flopped down next to you.

"Who's Bruce?" You hoped you wouldn't regret that question.

"The boyfriend." Natasha gave you a look

"What did he say?" You had seen that look enough times to know he did something.

"Nothing really but that was the problem." There was a beat of silence before Natasha seemed to word vomit "I can't have children." Natasha gasped at her own statement.

She hadn't meant to say that. The way confusion clouded her face made that evident.

"Do you want children?"

Natasha didn't answer, her confusion slowly turning to horror.

"It's okay you know." You said before Natasha could continue down whatever line of thought she was currently on.

Natasha looked at you questioningly so you elaborated.

"It must be my face or vibe or something. People tend to tell me things they probably didn't mean to speak into existence."

"It's your vibe. Definitely your vibe."

The two of you sat in silence for a little while. Sometimes people needed a push and sometimes they needed space. You got pretty good pretty quickly at learning which one was appropriate and when.

Natasha spoke softly "I don't know if I want them or not. It's just not fair I didn't get the chance to make that decision for myself."

"No it's not. But it doesn't make you any less. Besides, you're funny and gorgeous so I'm sure you'd have plenty of women lining up to have your babies."

Natasha then let out a quiet laugh. You thought that was your favourite laugh so far. It was kind of like when you get someone to smile after they had been crying. You couldn't help but smile at her as you watched her sit up a little straighter and that playful look re-entered her eyes.

"You think I'm funny?"

"Sure. Funny looking." You smirked at her.

"I can't be funny looking and gorgeous."

"I never said I found you gorgeous. Maybe I'm straight."

"Spaghetti is also straight until it gets wet."

"That is horrible!" You laughed "In fact, that's almost as bad as when men say 'you just haven't found the right man yet'." You put on your best 'man' voice and Natasha joined in with your laughter.

"Okay okay, that was terrible." Natasha said between breaths of laughter. "I just couldn't help it though! Besides how else would I figure out if I've got a chance with the pretty lady I'm sharing a carriage with?"

"I mean you could always just ask." Neither of you were laughing now. The tone was a little more serious.

"Well?" Natasha prompted

"Well what?" She had made you squirm. It was only fair you returned the favour.

Natasha sighed and rolled her eyes, a smile playing at her lips. "Are you into women?"

You grinned "Maybe." You said in the same tone Natasha had used before, when she was giving you half-answers.

Natasha gasped "That's a super secret spy move! You can't use that. It's trademarked."

"Does this answer your question then?" You said as you slowly moved closer to her face, your hand reaching for her jaw.

Natasha's pupils grew bigger as her eyes darted from your lips to your eyes. You were pretty sure her gaze also landed on your breasts a few times but it wasn't like you could talk, you had certainly looked at hers. She put one hand on your neck and another on your chin, running her thumb over your lower lip. You took her thumb between your teeth and gently licked it, causing Natasha's breath to falter in the most beautiful way. You shifted even closer to her, your knee bumping into her thigh before releasing her thumb from your mouth and moving your lips to hers. The kiss was brief at first, you wanted to test the waters, to make sure you really weren't misreading the situation. Natasha made it clear that she wanted the same when she pulled your face back towards hers. The hand that was wrapped around your neck moved to your collarbone before returning to where it was previously to tug gently on the baby hairs that lay there. You let out a light groan at the sensation, wanting to be impossibly closer to Natasha.

The smell of her perfume invaded your senses and you wanted to lick it off her neck. So you do. You lick and nibble and suck your way down her neck, starting at that spot just below her ear. The groans that Natasha lets out only encourage you.

"Y-yes. Right there." Natasha breathes out as your teeth graze over a particularly sensitive part of her neck. You bite harder, causing Natasha to moan into your ear, before soothing the skin with your tongue.

Natasha moves her hands to your legs, running her nails up and down from your knee to your upper thigh, never letting her fingers get to where you need them most. You kiss her harder, unbuttoning the first few buttons of her crisp, white shirt, giving your access to the swell of her breasts. You watch as they rise and fall with jagged breaths that betrays just how needy Natasha is. You glance up at her to see her staring down at you with an intense expression. You kiss the tops of her breasts as you work your hands around her and under her shirt to run your fingernails along her back. The loud moan Natasha lets out has you praying the sounds of the train muffle her.

"What do you think about?" Natasha asks you breathlessly. "What do you think about when you touch yourself? Do you think about inadequate exes? Or do you think about fucking strangers?" Natasha threw her head back as you pinched one of her nipples. Her question made your brain short circuit. Natasha took this opportunity to push you down on the train seat as she straddled you.

"From now on I'll think of you." Natasha began to grind her hips on your thigh. "Of how pretty you look under me." You groaned in response.

Natasha paused for a moment to slip her slender fingers into your shorts and she smirked when she felt how wet you were through the fabric of your underwear. Your thighs were embarrassingly slick from just the mere thought of Natasha and now she was actually touching you, it was like the floodgates had opened.

Your hips bucked up involuntarily when Natasha finally finally touched you where you needed it the most. Granted, it was through fabric but you'd take anything at this point. You unzipped Natasha's jeans and tugged weakly at them, hoping Natasha would let you take them off.

Natasha got off you briefly, pulled off her jeans and then scrambled to get back to you. "Take your top off" She demanded.

You sat up, pulling your tank top over your head as Natasha straddled your lap. She whimpered as she moved against you, the dark spot on her underwear growing larger and soaking through to your leg. You watch as she moves her hand into her panties and clench around nothing when you hear just how wet she is as she fucks herself. You grab her wrist and pull her hand out from where it was nestled. She groans in displeasure and looks at you with fury in her eyes. That fury quickly transforms to lust when you bring her fingers into your mouth as you lick them clean. Natasha grinds against you harder and faster, chasing her high. Your hand replaces hers and you circle her clit and she shoves her fingers deeper into your throat. Your eyes water as you gag, drool running down your chin.

"Fuck you look so beautiful." Natasha cried out needily, "Should have bought my strap." She muttered, more to herself than you.

You dipped your fingers lower, curling them into Natasha as you rubbed her clit with your thumb. You stroked inside her as you felt her flutter around you. Natasha removed her hand from your mouth, instead using it to steady herself above you as she got closer and closer to the edge.

Three little words were all it took to push Natasha over the edge and into relief. "Cum for me."

Her body collapsed on top of you as she panted into the crook of your neck. Your fingers were still inside her when she finally sat up a little, resting on her elbows, looking at you with a dazed expression. You licked your lips as she moved her hand between you, grasping your fingers and taking them out of her with a moan, before licking them clean.

Natasha moved down your body, littering kisses as she went

"Nat-" You moaned out as she reached the top of your underwear. You could feel her breath on you and your hips once again bucked up needily.

"Hush. You don't want anyone hearing us do you?" Natasha said as she peeled your panties down, past your knees and over your ankles.

You whimpered as you bit the back of your hand in an attempt to keep quiet when Natasha kissed your clit. Natasha moaned as she tasted you, the sound shooting right through you. With your free hand you twisted your fingers into her hair, tightly holding on to try to ground yourself. The feel of her tongue and fingers was overwhelming. You felt as if you were going to float away. You squirmed as she added a second and third finger inside you but she held you down with the arm that was previously stroking your thigh. You began to tremble and your legs started to shake.

"Tasha I'm gonna-" You couldn't speak in full sentences, your tongue felt too big for your mouth and your mind was filled with pleasure.

"Good girl." Natasha mumbled into your clit and you let out a whoreish moan. "Come on pretty, cum for me like the good girl you are." You let go, allowing the pleasure to overcome you as your vision blurs a little around the sides.

The two of you lay there, pants echoing around the room. Natasha's face is covered in your juices and she wipes it with the back of her hand. You whimper at the sight. Natasha reaches over to the little table in the train cabin and grabs a napkin. She writes something down on it in lipstick before reapplying some to her lips.

"Give me a call. Maybe we'll be heading in the same direction again."

The conductor announces that the next stop is coming up and Natasha gives you a kiss on the forehead before pulling on her jeans and rebuttoning her shirt. She's gone before the train pulls into the station and you hope your paths cross again as you put her number into your phone.

A lot of things I got dragged into sploon, no matter how I enjoying Salmon run (because teamwork and fun day)

So I decided to draw the content

Here's line up agent in my design looks-

Just for the toon style looks, so here's a hcs for each agents:

(Long words)

Trapper, 22 y/o [Species: Octoling??]

Trapper is not just an octoling, he was used to be one of the Kamabo experiment no.5150. Because he was saved by her adoptive mother, Ellie, he always have to hide his identity in the event of Splatoon 1. He doesn't know much about Dj Octavio and the Octarians clan, but he seems interested until the event of Splatoon 3. He doesn't talk, but he can use sign language (it's a sign that he's mute as always and it's because his voice is very likely to human languages and has no bubble effects in it like the other octolings. He's not an only child he was raised by her own mother, he has a sister, Veronika. He doesn't trust the Kamabo or Commander Tartar. He has a strong relationship with Four, but now he miss her (since they became separated and getting worried about her). And also, he's a gardener.

Veronika, 14(splat 3) - 16(now) y/o [Inkling]

She's a little feral and always care for his older brother. Never been join Grizzco industries because her little salmon buddy is afraid of the boss himself. She's a huge fan of Pearl from the Off the Hook. She interested any type of weapons and a mechanic engineer. Being forced to washed herself, since she's smell like fishes belongs in the sea. She's also a best friend of Murch. If you mess with Trapper, you mess with her (she'll forced you to drop yourself in the sea as an threat or eats gross food).

Agent/Captain 3 [No name], 21 y/o [Inkling]

Has slowly lost their original name and gender. Became tired and depressed because of the Octo expansion event, but still smiles when think about the past what they used to. They like Naomi as a close friend. rarely talks and type of introvert person. Doesn't want to talk about Deepsea Metro (they have PTSD). They can rap since they known as DJ Sango. Get along with the Squid sisters, even they stay as their part of the family. Always support other Agents no matter what and only the mysterious agent among others.

Surume/Four, 23 y/o [Inkling]

A great agent who always very positive and an extrovert person. She always like Trapper, who are very close to her (both always think about each other since they were separated from different city). She was busy due to an extracurricular, and a roommates with Hachi and Naomi. Four really care about Trapper's feeling for her if he's not in a good mood. She loves biology to know about sea creatures and even mammals, including plants. She's shorter than other agents.

Hachi/Eight, 21 y/o [Octoling]

An agent who is only one was escaped from the Deepsea Metro with his sister, Naomi. He doesn't get recover his traumatic experience back there, but always finds a way to avoid it. Kind to anyone, likes other agents. He doesn't know about Trapper, but he interested to meet him. Confidence to find answers. He's afraid of C.Q Cumber. When he's stares at you, it can tell he looks like a little puppy. He and Naomi lives with the Off the Hook as like their parent figure. Always protect his sister.

Naomi/Eight, 19 y/o [Octoling]

She's a bit shy and a fan of the Squid sisters after the effects of the Calamari Inkatation. She likes Cap 3 about their skills and being cool. She's barely talks, but always needs a help from her brother. She kinda loves the beautiful view around the new city or places she wants to travel. She's having a fear of Blender and being lonely without her brother or someone. She likes doing art and doodles on her sketch she bought in the surface. She always sticks with her brother since she doesn't want to get separated. And a friend of Four.

Welp that's all the hcs I have for my agents. Most of them are similar the canon splatoon facts. And here's the base of the body type looks

And bonus for Trapper in agent outfit:

[penaltybox-gossip]

Wait what’s the tea about slaf and his hooking up history?//

In his rookie year he dated a different bar girl (worked at Flyjin and Palma at the time) called Charlie. She's 10 years older than him. They dated for a few months right after he joined the team and broke up when he went back to Slovakia at the end of the season amid cheating accusations from her.

He also dated a girl called Veronika who is a Czech influencer and dancer either that summer or the summer before. I can't remember exactly. It didn't work out and she posted a tiktok where she was crying about him and it went viral and she still talks a lot to CZ/SK media about how she's not using him and their history for attention.

There was also another Czech influencer he was linked to but I can't remember her name. She was very fake (kinda p*rnstar-y) looking. Big fake boobs, butt, tons of make up and fillers. Looked quite a bit older than him too.

At least Angelie is closer to his age, I guess.

You are the most loved blog! ❤️

[thefandomenchantress]

So I know I’m a little late to the party on this one, but I wanna talk about the David MV.

I finally decided to watch that nearly three hour video on the Literature Girl Insane MV, (by @/1moreff-creator) and HOLY SHIT IT’S SO GOOD. I wish I watched it sooner and wonder why I didn’t, I watch almost exclusively 1+ hour videos about random topics I know nothing about, and now there’s one for something I care a lot about! Why didn’t I watch immediately?!?

But my lapse in sanity aside, it finally got me motivated enough to talk about the David MV!

…Except only the part about Ace because of course that’s all I want to talk about. 9 out of 10 of my posts are either about him or have him involved somehow.

Anyways! Here’s the part I find very interesting!

This is arguably where Ace is most relevant, and therefore it makes sense I want to talk about it today.

Now, first things first, the Roman numeral. V (five) is Ace’s Roman numeral, as assigned by the crossword. The line attached is:

“Right now, why do you go insane?”

Which definitely fits. Ace could easily be framed as going insane, because he has mental breakdowns at a worryingly high frequency. Him and Veronika (who this might also be referring to if color theory is to be believed) are basically assigned the role of being seen as mentally unhinged within the class.

(…Ever think about how weird it is that the title is Literature Girl Insane, implying the star of the MV, David, is going insane, yet Ace is the one getting called insane, possibly by David? I think that’s interesting. But let’s get back on track.)

As established by other Roman numerals, the words in the background when a numeral shows itself also apply the character attached to said numeral. This is most obviously shown in the line near the top of the photo.

“A cat has 9 additional lives”

This is also easily applicable to Ace, since he survived Nico’s murder attempt against all odds. If Eden and Teruko hadn’t just so happened to be on the 2nd floor and walked into the gym when they did, he would’ve died. While the actual methodology of Nico’s murder attempt is unknown, it’s also possible that him even surviving long enough for Teruko and Eden to find them was a miracle. Either way, it fits.

The last quote on-screen intrigues me the most. It’s a quote from Hamlet.

“I am but mad north-northwest. When the wind is southerly, I know a hawk from a hand saw.”

Now, first let’s look at just those words, without further context. It’s important we know what the words themselves mean before we do anything else. Let’s start with the definition of north-northwest, since that word is pretty important to the quote.

I’m sure most are familiar with north, east, south, and west. The four main directions on a compass. As well as Northeast, Southeast, Southwest, and Northwest. That splits the compass into eight directions, splitting the sections of north, east, south, and west in half.

Similarly, north-northwest is a direction that comes from splitting the compass into sixteen parts. It’s the half of the northwest section that’s closer to north.

Next, what the hell does “I know a hawk from a handsaw” mean? It’s almost half the quote, so it’s important we know.

Well…*extremely loud sigh* Shakespeare, as you know, was alive a very long time ago. As such, he writes in old-time-y English that’s hard to understand. And this quote has the misfortune of being something people argue over the translation of, at least as far as I could tell while researching.

Some people think Shakespeare meant a heronsaw, a type of bird, not a handsaw. Others think that no, he meant handsaw, but heron, in his time period, was also a common word for a tool that holds plaster/mortar/etc..

Either way, Shakespeare was probably referring to two types of birds, or two types of tools, which have key differences from one and other. I don’t think which one the DRDTdev thought was right really matters in this instance, since the quote makes sense either way. 15/16s of the time, Hamlet (the speaker of the quote) is sane and can tell two birds/tools apart.

The quote is, in summary, saying that Hamlet is mad only when it’s north-northwest, aka 1/16th of the time (I’m not sure if that somehow connects to there being 16 participants in the killing game, but I’m going to assume it doesn’t). The other 15/16s of the time, Hamlet is perfectly sane, thank you very much.

So, without context, this quote is saying that Ace is only insane 1/16th of the time. The rest of the time he’s sane.

Next, I think another important thing we have to do is take into account the whole screenshot as a whole. By that I mean we should not only look at each line individually, but how they relate to each other. In bold is the “why do you go insane?” Line, and to the left, in a font that blends more into the background, is the Hamlet line.

There is a contradiction of opinions here. One person says, “Why do you go insane?” while the other insists they’re only a little bit insane.

This could be referring to the opinions of David and Ace. After all, one could argue it was David underestimating Ace that led to his secret being revealed. David doesn’t bother being careful around Ace in the trial, despite Ace’s volatile nature. He piles suspicion onto Ace by saying it’s weird he didn’t see him on the second floor the night before the murder, even though it isn’t. After all:

Ace was in the gym. David was in the relaxation room. Those are on opposite sides of the floor, so of course David wouldn’t have seen Ace. He didn’t even have to walk anywhere close to the room Ace was in. But David saying this information like it’s weird and suspicious makes everyone else think it is.

David thinks: But what’s Ace gonna do about it? Somehow get the whole class on his side, even though almost everyone likes me more? Is everyone really going to trust the mentally unstable (one could say insane), dumb, cowardly jockey over me?

Yes, yes they will.

All this is to say, David, in the grand scheme of things, doesn’t really care about Ace throughout chapter two. He steals Nico’s secret from him, antagonizes him in the trial, and doesn’t care. Ace doesn’t matter. Ace, of all people, can’t be the one to ruin him. So who cares if Ace dislikes him? Ace is of no use to David, and Ace certainly isn’t smart enough to figure out David’s scheme. This is what David believes.

However, this leads to him not taking Ace’s volatile nature seriously enough, believing he is above the harm of someone like him. But hey, even a pawn can play a vital part in checkmating a king.

When David pisses off Ace, believing Ace can’t do anything besides get angry, yell, and make himself look more suspicious…That turns out to be a crucial mistake that ruins everything.

…Y’know, the irony of the class idiot being the one to beat the so-called master manipulator will never not be funny to me.

Anyways, we can sort of apply this to Hamlet, too. If Ace is Hamlet, since this is Hamlet’s line, and David is Claudius, his father-in-law, we do have a pretty good parallel.

Claudius, who secretly killed Hamlet’s father and then took his throne, is secretly not as righteous as he seems. However, Hamlet finds out about Claudius being the one who killed his father and seeks revenge. Claudius thinks Hamlet to be mad, but when Claudius isn’t around, Hamlet says, “But my uncle-father (Claudius) [is] deceived. I am but mad north-northwest. When the wind is southerly, I know a hawk from a hand saw.” Eventually, Hamlet kills Claudius. So in DRDT terms, Ace finds out about David’s manipulation, David is unaware of this, and Ace eventually kills David’s public persona. Obviously this is an extreme simplification of the plot, but still.

…Of course, there’s also a chance this contradiction of opinions isn’t about Ace and David specifically. After all, David isn’t the only one to boil Ace down to his core traits of “dumb, angry, overall not a well-adjusted individual”. The whole class does this, at least for the most part. This Hamlet quote could just be trying to say what Ace has been saying. That everyone sees him as a loudmouth, stupid, cowardly and nothing more, when in reality there’s more to him than that.

I might have gone a little overboard with this part…I got excited…Hopefully this all actually makes sense, I had to revise some of this post because it got ramble-y and overall pretty cluttered.

So yeah. Here’s my (very late) contribution to the David MV discussion. Here’s what I think Ace’s part means. If you want me to elaborate anywhere, feel free to tell me, or if you want to tell me your thoughts, I’d love to see that!

Danganronpa Despair Time Foils

TL;DR - The foils of the main cast of the killing game in Danganronpa Despair Time are foreshadowed in the chapter 1 recap video. - Hey hey! As said above, premise is pretty simple. While based on the initial impressions alone not all of these seem to make sense, connections and shared themes can be found between all of the pairings presented in the chapter 1 recap video which is what makes me think they are foils. This is not concrete evidence and you are free to disagree! I'd love to hear others opinions and discourse regarding the topic in the comments. ^^ I will be making more in depth analysis posts on each of these pairings in the future. All screenshots are attributed and credited to the Danganronpa Despair Time channel. Please watch the original video & series as a whole! For some extra clarity:

From Wikipedia Here we go.

Foil #1 - Xander the Rebel & Min the Student

Shared Themes & Topics: Resenting their talents, resenting academia, importance to Teruko Tawaki, red/warm color pallets, pro & anti authority perspectives

Clarifications & Other Notes: They share a relationship of culprit & victim, giving them a unique dynamic in the story. A clear precedent for tension & conflict was set in their dynamic from their first interaction, though until the murder this was minimal.

Foil #2 - Teruko the Lucky Student & Charles the Chemist

Shared Themes & Topics: Distrust, social isolation, amnesia/obscured pasts, Pragmatism, Logic V. Fate Clarifications & Other Notes: Teruko & Charles had opposite upbringings with one being very privileged and the other being borderline or literally homeless. They have butted heads since day one and seem to be going in opposite directions as characters atm. They have had many scenes of direct conflict & tension.

Foil #3 - Eden the Clockmaker & Arei the Bowler

Shared Themes & Topics: Friendship, kindness/cruelty, Hope & Trust, Optimism, Naivety Clarifications & Other Notes: Arei has always been openly antagonistic towards Eden & Eden has expressed very clearly that she wants to get closer to Arei. Arei was devastated by Arei's death and Arei has expressed that Eden is everything she was not allowed to be but deeply desires to be.

Foil #4 - Nico the Pet Therapist & Ace the Jockey

Shared Themes & Topics: Bullying, Anxiety, Neurodivergence (Heavily Implied), Animals, Strength/Control Clarifications & Other Notes: Ace has an explicit history of cruelly bullying Nico while Nico has a confirmed past of being bullied by others for their identity as a non-binary person. Nico has attempted to murder Ace.

Foil #5 - Hu the Zither Player & Veronika the Horror Fanatic

Shared Themes & Topics: S*****e/S**f H**m, Lack of Purpose/Boredom Clarifications & Other Notes: There have been no explicit scenes of tension between the two. It is heavily implied that they have each others secrets. Hu has been portayed as 'motherly' & thoughtful while Veronika has been portrayed as 'childish' & impulsive.

Foil #6 - Rose the Art Forger & J the Effects Artist

Shared Themes & Topics: Identity Issues, Lack of Agency, Troubled Family Relations, Art/Performance Clarifications & Other Notes: There have been no explicit scenes of tension between the two. Rose has lost her passion for her talent while J has stated that she really loves her talent. Both have more powerful figures in their lives which have in some way stripped them of their agency to explore their identity on their own terms.

Foil #7 - Arturo the Plastic Surgeon & Levi the Personal Stylist

Shared Themes & Topics: 'Sinful' pasts, Troubled Family Relationships, Aesthetic/Cosmetic Talents Clarifications & Other Notes: These two have had one scene where there was some light tension & conflict established. Levi is portrayed humble & down to earth while Arturo is portrayed as haughty & excessively prideful. While Arturo's past is not explicitly or literally sinful, it is heavily implied that he subconsciously feels guilty for the death of his younger sister. Levi is heavily implied to have the heartless murderer secret based on the small number of secrets left & his secret quote where he laments over his 'heartlessness'. Both seem to have a tense relationship with their family with Levi having been literally disowned & Arturo seeming to be no contact with his family for one reason or another. Levi's talent focuses on making someone the best version of what they already are while Arturo's focuses on making you into someone else entirely. (Plastic surgery is not literally this but this is how he portrays it.)

Foil #8 - Whit the Matchmaker & David the Inspirational Speaker

Shared Themes & Topics: Optimism, Nihilism, Apathy, Depression, Kindness/Cruelty, Trauma Clarifications & Other Notes: Whit's primary visual motif is hearts while David's is stars. Hearts are essential, intimate & personal while stars are pretty but distant & uninhabitable. David's true nature is cold and uncaring while Whit is portrayed as very empathetic & mindful of others. Both characters seem to struggle in some way with feelings of apathy and nihilism, though they seem to deal with this in very different ways. Whit had David's secret & tried to keep it until he learned his true nature, at which point he remarked that 'his career was in trouble for reasons out of his (whit's) control'. David is intially inviting & kind while Whit is initially somewhat abrasive & insensitive. -

Tysm for reading if you did! I'd love to hear your thoughts down below, as well as any other shared themes/topics you can see applying to any of these characters. Hu & Veronika in particular is a pairing I don't understand super well but would love to hear more about!

Not sure when I'll post the individual analysis posts but I look forward to doing so when I do. Bye bye!

Some little imaginings about DRDT-Milgram's Undercover I had:

-in the second chorus when they're all restrained, Nico would also have a muzzle

-you know how in the original Under, the verses after the first chorus (Shidou and Mahiru's) are kinda muzzled/static-y? Well Hu would join J and Rose in that sense and then Veronika's spin coincides with the more fast-paced beat transition that's Kazui's verse.

In the little prison cell transitions

-Veronika would be right up against the bars with her arms going through them. amd smiling of course

-Xander would be leaning in a way that only his good eye is visible

-Teruko would be sitting on a bench towards the back of her cell

Ooh, really cool ideas! The Nico in a muzzle thing is kinda crazy actually, and the rest are all very neat concepts too! Thanks for sharing them!
