■Civic Type R VS. Pulsar VZ-R・NI Ver.II

What is the difference between the two?

=TEXT /Monobu Takehira

The Pulsar V Z-R N1 version II debuted as the most powerful NA 1.6L.

In this class, we cannot forget the Civic Type R. Its high potential and pure sports qualities have been featured many times in our tests.

Not only races, but rallies,

the Civic Type R is a big hit

His abilities are widely acknowledged by everyone.

So what are the differences between these two cars, which one is more attractive, and which one is worth buying? I think this sums up the points of interest to readers.

Pulsar VZ-R NI Dirt track and gymkhana A cars (numbered categories)

Version II (hereinafter referred to as N-version)

and Civic Type R (hereinafter referred to as Type R.

The base models of the N1and Type R are the Pulsar VZ-R and Civic SIR, respectively. It's easy to compare the two cars, but the N1 version and Type R are completely different.

First of all, the engine is noteworthy, but the N-version is superior in both performance and excitement. Compared to the N-version with 200ps/18.5kgm, the Type R has a record of 185/16.3kgm. There is a clear difference in the specs, but the same can be said about the physical sensation when driving.

However, the Type R engine is no joke. It is full of racing know-how, and with special specifications, it has the potential to easily exceed 200ps if you sacrifice a little drivability. The high-revving power that easily exceeds 8000 rpm, VTEC is activated and the excitement of the sound and the sudden change in sound are just the thing to get excited about. However, the N-version is still superior to the Type R, which is impressive. However, when it comes to the completeness and sportiness of a sports model, the Type R is the winner. The N-version certainly has a lot of tuning, but it doesn't have as much work done on the body and chassis as the Type R.

In addition, the Type R is equipped with a cross transmission, quick shift, strengthened brakes, a helical LSD, and power steering tuning, all of which improve the driving performance.

The position of the brake pedal and accelerator pedal have been improved to make heel-and-toe easier.

This shows just how much the Type R is a model that focuses on driving. In fact, when comparing the two models, the difference is clear. The steering, brakes and shift controls have a very direct feel, and the suspension on the highly rigid body also shows excellent road contact. It may be a cliché, but the driving experience of the Type R is truly one of "being one with the car." The direct feel and linear driving experience provide high driving pleasure.

The best engine is definitely N-type, but the Type R is better in terms of driving perfection and sportiness. However, if the N-version is polished in the same way as the Type R, it will be a great sports car.

He has the qualities to be a great leader.

In conclusion, the Type R is more attractive. The deciding factor is that it is about 700,000 yen cheaper than the N-version. What's more, it's also nice that it's not a limited production. If the N-version establishes mass production technology for the engine it should be cheaper.

There is a difference of about 700,000 yen in price, but the Civic comes with options such as air conditioning, power windows, and mirrors (177,000 yen). The Pulsar comes with air conditioning as standard equipment, and a set of sunroof, power windows, etc. costs 130,000 yen.

Although it is not as powerful as the N1 Version II, it still delivers 185ps. The revs and power feel are comparable to the Pulsar. Fully equipped with Recaro and other features, it's under 2 million yen!

Boy Bands in 5 Minutes — VoicePlay music video

People have been singing together since there have been people, but the specific phenomenon of boy bands really took form during the mid-20th century. In that grand tradition, VoicePlay had been performing a medley of songs from their mainstream counterparts infused with their own trademark silliness at live shows for years. With a few tweaks and a lot of hard work, they created this incredible audio-visual tour through decades of pop, rock, motown, and hip-hop hits. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. That is, if you can resist dancing along.

Details:

arranged by: Geoff Castellucci

release date: 14 June 2019

My favorite bits:

easing into things with harmonies of a memorable song from their own youth, then jumping back to the early stuff

Earl at nearly 40 sounding just as good as preteen Michael Jackson on those high vocals

the clever camera wipe transitions that allow them to change outfits and positions to reflect each group

the rhythm section doing some air instrumentation during "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" 🎸🥁

J.None actually not being too proud to ask his bandmates to come back after they jazz-square-slide away

using the whip pan to and from the gossipers to make another costume change

Geoff pushing past Earl, which propels Eli off screen and into the right order for the next dance sequence

the beautiful juxtaposition of the "Single Ladies" choreography done to "Walk Like A Man" 💃🕺

the airy decending sounds Layne makes as they all fall down and the camera spins into the next song

getting back to their barbershop roots for "Candy Girl"

bracketing "Thank You" with the unmistakeable bell chords from "Motownphilly"

Layne doing the quick change "wrong" and yanking off his dickie with dramatic flair as he starts beatboxing again

the whole montage of "Pop"-able items, particularly the intense Bubble Tape™ stand-off, and J.None being showered in bubbles

playing up the dork-itude of the One Direction dance moves

that chromatic descent transitioning into the final song

the delightful floof of Geoff's hair as he rebounds the cascading movement back down the line

that lush ending, complete with Eli's fantastic riff

Trivia:

○ This video was the result of a Patreon poll, and the option the guys least wanted to win, because they knew how much work it would be. But they committed to it like the professionals they are, going all out on the music, costumes, and choreography.

○ The medley is an update / expansion of the previous version they had been performing at live shows for many years. They took the opportunity to swap out some songs in the earlier arrangement for others by the same artists:

Jackson 5 — "ABC" ⇒ "I Want You Back"

Four Seasons — "Sherry" ⇒ "Walk Like a Man"

*NSYNC — "Bye Bye Bye" ⇒ "POP"

One Direction — "What Makes You Beautiful" ⇒ "Best Song Ever"

○ To get the dance moves right, they called in a ringer — choreographer Kristin Denehy from The Sing-Off competition show and live tours, who they'd also worked with on their "Cheerleader" video several years before.

○ The group of gossipers during "Walk Like a Man" is all of VoicePlay's spouses at the time — Nick Perez, Kathy Castellucci, Cyndi Stein, and Ashley Jacobson.

○ The sandwich delivery guy in "Thank You" is the fellas' longtime friend and collaborator Rek Dunn. Given that Boyz II Men are proud Philadelphians, he's probably handing over a cheesesteak.

○ Eli sings some of the Korean lyrics in the closing BTS section. Given that he speaks Japanese, he was probably the most likely of the guys to get the pronunciation right. (And judging by the YouTube comments from BTS fans, he did a good job.)

○ When Geoff was rehearsing the choreography at home, he got some personal coaching from Kathy and little William.

○ The guys also had group dance rehearsals at a local studio.

extracted from Geoff's Instagram farewell post for J.None

○ Things got a little out of hand while they were filming the bubble wrap section of the "Pop" montage.

○ They got their act together for the transition to the next song, though.

○ The long day of filming and dancing aggravated Earl's old foot injury, so he spent the next day wearing a brace to help it recover.

○ The streaming audio version is separated into 4 tracks with 3 or 4 songs each, primarily due to licensing restrictions.

○ The 4:2:Five boys had opened for 98 Degrees at Sea World all the way back in September 2001, just a few months after they'd released their first professional EP. When VoicePlay appeared on the fourth season of The Sing-Off in 2013, working with Nick Lachey again was a little bit of a reunion.

do the clans ever own pets in your human ver of warriors? do they own cats....i think thatd be very funny

It’s definitely not out of the ordinary, but I’d consider it less than pets and more just “familiar animals that come around often”. But that does raise some ideas for their perception of animals in general

Regarding Livestock

So a rough idea I have is that they do maintain livestock whenever rations are in low supply. They don’t often keep them in enclosures though since they think that those animals should be let free and do whatever they please. Though they still keep their numbers in check to ensure that no damage is done to the environment

This of course causes harm to nearby farms or other plots of land. There was an incident in which a pack of boars from Thunderclan’s territory made it into Chelford and started fucking everything up. Citizens started actively hunting down the boars to kill them and Thunderclan was freaking out so an agreement was made where Thunderclan promised to contain the boars. This is why Thunderclan is seen as controversial in the topic of livestock amongst them all.

Regarding Pets

They don’t really “own any pets”, they usually just have animals that come by often, which also includes cats. Which on a side note:

They fucking adore cats; it’s ingrained into their culture and even extends to weapons such as metal/steel claws and fangs

You must always respect a cat if you come across one

If it is afraid or angry at you, offer a piece of your meat rations

If it’s happy/comfortable and approaches you, get on your stomach and allow it to rub all over you until it leaves

Never trust a dog at first glance. We care for cats, we love cats: dogs hurt cats for fun, dogs don’t love cats, dogs are enemies  

This logic doesn’t apply to wild animals like foxes, badgers, or birds of prey though

However apprehension may still be shown towards them

Though in recent times (Around late OotS and AVoS), people like JayFeather began to advocate for service animals which also included dogs, much to great controversy. I think more cats considered this though especially after the outrage of BriarLight’s preventable death.

Eventually, many disabled members were given service animals after proper training occurred

JayFeather got a service cat that he named Briar

BrightHeart got an emotional support dove

I'm not sure which animal ShadowSight would have as a service animal but I fancy the idea of him having a service pig that he got very recently, naming it Birch II

Meanwhile in Windclan, they’ve been using horses for many decades now. They’re famous for their strong lineage of horses and the strong bond between the horse and the rider. This is why it was devastating when BrokenStar decimated Windclan’s numbers, chased them out, and took their horses if they weren’t dead or gravely injured (which is a death sentence for a horse). Once Windclan came back after BrokenStar’s exile, it was a long grueling process of returning the horses back to them

Since Windclan’s numbers had been cut to half of what it was, they had too many horses now

NightStar understood that the way in which they got the horses was horrible, but he also argued that horses could help them navigate the marshes easier

He also pointed out that Windclan would have nothing to do with the extra horses

So an agreement was made: Windclan kept many of their young, strong horses while Shadowclan was allowed to keep more mature horses, though they also were allowed some extra younger horses

An agreement was also made that Shadowclan and Windclan would give away foals to the other group if necessary

Orfeu and Haru Ver. II.

Cw: Mentioned noncon (not too explicit this time); Mentioned starvation/food insecurity; pet whump; dehumanization; humiliation;

The pet wakes up in that man’s arms. Orfeu, if he recalled.

He has his hands resting over the pet’s hips, hands that look like they belong to a monster, ink black until almost the elbows, nails thick and curled like that of a beast. Pet still surprised those claws got inside him and somehow hurt less than Master’s soft fingers.

Turning to the side he sees Farlan’s up and getting dressed to go to his college lectures. He figures the guest is the only reason why he wasn’t kicked from the bed today as soon as Master woke up. He tries to get up by himself rather than wait for the man to wake and push him down…

“Stay”

He freezes staring dumbly at his Master. He rolls his eyes, his patience always too short for the pet. 

“Stay. You’re allowed. At least while he’s cuddling you”

He lets the air escape his lungs, sinking back into the sheets and quite relieved. Still, he remains weary as he watches Master moving around the room, combing his hair and putting it on a ponytail, dressing up in his tailored suit and applying so much cologne the Pet has to bury his face on the pillows to hold back the sneezes.

Master always smells so good. His favorite cologne has tops of lemon and jasmine and a soft wooden background. It denounces his arrival before the master enters a room, and lingers after he leaves. It has also impregnated the sheets, the pillows and even the pet itself, sticking on his skin and leaving a trace where he was held. 

After he’s done playing or hurting him, Master takes him to the bathroom and places him on a tub which he lets fill with mercifully warm water. He washes his back with milky soap and his hair with strawberry shampoo. Sometimes, he baths by himself too, making extra sure he’s clean and groomed to his Master’s liking. 

Still, the Master's smell is stronger.

It stays, no matter how much he scrubs his skin.

Which is why he’s oddly glad about how much the guest just… stinks. 

He stinks of sour cigarette smoke, candle wax and forest mold, sweat and booze and sex and asphalt. He stinks and for once, it overpowers Master’s lemony scent. 

Once Master finally leaves, he sinks his head on the man’s chest and inhales, trying to pick apart all that makes his smell, nuzzling a little so his stubble beard scratches the pet's face. 

Unfortunately that wakes him up, and they lock eyes, pearly blue in toxic green ones. He feels himself grow cold, afraid he’ll be hurt for waking him, but the man simply smiles, a row of creep teeth. He thought those were fascinating, but wondered how much it hurt to make them look like this. 

“Good morning” he says, and Pet cringes at his breath. And Orfeu notices “Oh, guess I need to brush my teeth. And a shower-”

Two mistakes. It’s barely eight in the morning, and he’s made two mistakes with Master’s new guest. He’s shaking…

“I-I- nhh s-s-sorry, pet… dirty, pet is, is, not-”

“Shhh” he picks up one of Pet’s white locks, playing with it between his distorted fingers “Not a big deal. I have an idea. Why don’t you go get us some breakfast, while I wash, hm?”

He nods, nearly jumping out the bed. 

He doesn’t bother getting dressed. He knows it bothers some of the workers of the mansion but… it’s nothing that they haven’t seen before. And he’s been through… so much worse, he hardly feels humiliated by the nakedness anymore. 

“Good morn- Oh fuck. Please wear clothes” Ms. Lenora complains, as the pet runs into the kitchen. 

He blushes a little and waves at the housekeeper apologetically, one of the few employees that work at the house. It’s a small task force and there’s always a lot of work to be done. The Pet has to help sometimes, and while most of them are either bothered or even hostile towards the pet, she doesn’t seem to mind.

“It 's alright. Go see if you can find something in the laundry room, I’ll prepare your food” She says, just smiling at him.

"G-guest" Speaking is getting harder and harder these days.

"Guest?” She frowns. Farlan must have forgotten to warn her, but she knows Pet wouldn't lie about "Fm. Guess you’ll need something better than oatmeal then. Now, please, get dressed-"

He nods, going past the kitchen and into the laundry room. People there glare, disgusted by his presence, his nakedness, the violence marked on his body. He quickly snatches a shirt from the clean pile. It’s Master’s, but he won’t mind. 

He smiles when he gets back into the kitchen, seeing Lenora preparing a tray with avocado toast and eggs, cuts of meat and picked fruits. He hesitates for a second, then approaches to help her, which earns him a soft pat on the head.

“Good boy”

Something deep inside him says he should feel humiliated by this sort of affection. But it’s all that exists in his world, and oh, he’d take humiliating affection over pain any day. 

Finally he carries the tray back upstairs, hoping this man Orfeu allows him to eat. He’s not good at starving. Farlan is not the most merciful of Master’s, but he’s generous about food, only denying it when it annoys him enough for a hard punishment.

But sometimes he’s left under the care of Master’s father, Gerard, the lord of the house, who is very prone to making him starve. ‘A petite little songbird’, the man says, feeding him nothing but what he can lick off of his fingers.

He remembers them fighting the first time his Master traveled and left the pet under Gerard’s care. After a week, when he came back, the pet went to welcome him and ended up passing out from starvation. 

“Oh, that’s fancy” Orfeu says, coming out of the bathroom and throwing himself on the bed, a towel wrapped around his hair. 

“Come on-” he taps the bed by his side, coaching the pet to sit by his side. He does it hesitantly. Master Farlan would be angry if they dropped food on the sheets… but he’d be even angrier if the pet denied a guest's request, so he obeys.

…He immediately notices the smell. He must’ve stolen the cologne because he smells exactly like Farlan now. He swallows, wondering why this makes him feel grief. 

“Did you make the food?” 

“H-h-helped” the pet mumbles, a bit thrown aback by how casually he talks. He must be used to pets. Maybe even have some of his own.

“Own, it's very good”

The pet just nods, hands crossed politely over his lap, trying not to stare at the food.

"You aren't much of a talker, are you?"

He flinches hard. It used to be so easy.

"I-I can, ifsir wamt. Msorry Sorry" he whispers, feeling the words roll and mix, his tongue too heavy to properly form them.  Why speak, if no one wants to hear? "Hard. Msorry"

"It's alright, love" 

He realizes the pet staring and chooses to be merciful, cutting a piece of toast and taking the piece to his lips. He parts them obediently and chews the food slowly, enjoying the taste. It also makes for a good excuse to stay quite.

“You don't have to. I'd like you to, if you can. But I don't mind if you don't want to"

It sounds like a mockery, if not for his genuine expression. 

Pets don't have wants, or so they say. Of course it's a lie. The pet wants a lot of things. It's just that a pet's wants are meaningless. 

He just obediently opens his mouth again, letting the man place a piece of fruit inside. So it seems that just like Gerard, this man likes to hand feed pets, enjoying the utter submission of the act. He does his best not to resent that, at least he's being generous with the portions, letting him chew a cut of strawberry. 

"He said you don't have a name…" the pet struggles not to flinch with the way Orfeu toys with the knife.

Thankfully, he simply cuts a piece of the meat for himself. 

"I kinda wanna give you one"

…Pet stares. This screams of a trap. He recalls him telling that to the master last night, and Farlan being very clear that the pet does not deserve one.

"Sir'angry" he replies, the best he can, in between the little bits of food he's being fed. 

"Farlan? Nah, I'll handle him" Orfeu promises, seeming all too confident. Well, it's true the Master seems to forgive a little more disrespect from him than from most others… but this is a big thing. 

"It's unfair to not be named. I'll think of something. You can help too" he offers. 

The pet shakes his head shyly. It's not for him to decide. But… he kinda hopes this strange man can indeed get him named. He'd like to be someone.

[ittybittymarblekitty]

Every single romantic f/o I have, except I tell you if they’re a caregiver who takes care of me, a regressor who has playdates with me, or both.

it is also either incredibly vague or shockingly detailed. depends on who I think about the most

just a heads up, some of my f/os are from Pico’s School and Homestuck. If you’re uncomfy with those sources, I completely understand. also beware. this is a very long post.

Pico (Pico’s School/FNF)

Caregiver!!! when he started dealing with trauma, he looked up and tried several different coping mechanisms, so he knows what it is, it never personally worked out for him. The funny thing is though, my s/i, Rayne, is usually the one taking care of others, so having someone else take care of him...definitely takes some getting used to. He has his moments. but he tries his best and that's all that matters <333

Lukas (Minecraft Story Mode)

I feel like he is definitely a caregiver. I don't know why i just know it. just trust me bro

Black Hole (BFB/TPOT)

oh yeah DEFINITELY caregiver. He does tend to canonically worry about others' safety a lot, even if recovery centers exist. it just makes sense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My s/i (who i made before transitioning, she's a demigirl) found a way to somehow make herself black hole resistant so he can't hurt her. If she didn't have this questionable, strange ability, he would definitely stay V E R Y F A R A W A Y . she can however just??? stick to him like a magnet whenever she's close enough to him??? maybe he'd take her for little rides or take her to see the stars

YinYang (Inanimate Insanity)

YES definitely a Playdate!!! (I don't have an s/i for II, I'm a fictionkin of Fan and I just go off of that.) Yang started doing it first. It helped him a lot, and after having Yang do it for quite some time, Yin decided to join in on it too one day. We have playdates all the time!!!!! Usually Test Tube watches us to make sure Yang doesn't...set anything on fire. Sometimes we go in one of the hotel rooms, sometimes we go to Test Tube's lab so she can still watch us while working on whatever experiments she's got going on. Sometimes she even lets us help, but nothing too dangerous. Sometimes she gets so busy that she can't even watch us in the lab, so YinYang and I just wander around and cause chaos...but not too much.

Amelia Euler/Scenty (HFJONE)

tbh I can see her doing both so she could be a flip?? Like, She could use it to cope with the game and the trauma it left her. She's also a very kind and caring person, and would probably know a lot about different coping mechanisms, so this is nothing new to her. The game just..made her do things she would have never done otherwise. It works either way??? idk man

Aradia Megido (Homestuck)

Now this one's definitely a flip. It's like flipping a coin. there is no way of telling which one she'll do. She'll be the absolute best caregiver ever who always knows what to do one day, and then go full on baby mode the next. never let them know your next move i guess

Dirk Strider (Homestuck)

Definitely a Playdate!!!! He's my biggest f/o atm so i cannot WAIT to talk about him!!!!!! So he and my s/i, Cosmo, have been regressors for a while now, they just didn't tell each other for a hot minute because they were afraid of what one another would think. however. THEY LIVE TOGETHER so that secret wasn't bound to last that long anyways. Cosmo would go to his best friend's place (which is literally just another s/i) and take days off to regress there, while Dirk would just do it when he was home alone and if he felt like it. They go to the same park one day, completely unaware of one another and clearly regressed, and then they run into each other. they freak out for a moment before realizing that they were hiding the exact same secret. they then proceeded to have the longest playdate ever. ABSOLUTELY watches mlp while regressed. it's literally canon and not even god himself can convince me otherwise. He's also semi verbal, almost non verbal actually. MY S/I ON THE OTHER HAND...yhea he's very chatty. communication is never a problem with them though!! he makes sure that Dirk is always able to communicate. Dirk and Cosmo will reenact an entire episode of blues clues just so that Dirk can ask for a blue crayon. /hj

Jade Harley (Homestuck)

Definitely a playdate but like, as a bit of an older age i guess??? like a really young babysitter?? She has no problem making simple drinks and snacks or reaching things on the higher shelves, but not the more dangerous and complicated grown up stuff. yk???

Streber (Spooky Month)

Most of my recent f/os are playdates but this one's definitely a caregiver. it just feels right. He's canonically really good with children; always thinking about their first impressions, and always being so kind. he's probably like. really patient too?? He'll never get mad at s/i and completely understands. He's like that one parent who sneaks you extra sweets and is like "shhh don't tell [other parent]" Scary movies and halloween themed shows are also guaranteed. especially if theres vampires involved

and an honorable mention, my biggest caregiver f/o, and my best friend, Test Tube (Inanimate Insanity)!!!

Even though she's not a romantic f/o, I wanted to include her. When I told her, she was so understanding and supportive. Even though she sometimes can't be there, she's great whenever she can be there. she's a great caregiver, and amazing friend, and I'm so lucky to have someone like her as a friend :))))

Also, as another bonus, some of my fictional crushes :,)

Alucard (Pico’s School)

(yeah im /srs. i feel kinda bad about this one for some reason) Definitely playdate. argue with the wall. again I feel like this just??? fits???? he was canonically traumatized by things that were done to him as a literal baby, and he deserves to be able to cope with that!!!!!!!!!!

Turanga Leela (Futurama)

Definitely a flip. again, it works either way!!!! She also canonically had a bad childhood, it's bought up in almost every other episode!!! not only was she an orphan, but she was an outcast too!!! she spent her whole life wondering where she came from and where her parents went, only to find out that the only thing she allegedly did know about her origins turned out to be a lie!!!! Also she technically even TRIED TO regress in one of the episodes; she goes back to where her parents are and tries to get them to treat her like a teenager, but they just, don't get the memo!!!!! But then there's also the fact that there's been several occasions where she sees an animal and decides she wants to keep it and take care of it; that's literally how she got Nibbler. She also tends to just be protective in general. so either way. it totally makes sense!!!!!!!

Bee (Bee and Puppycat)

Playdate. she would totally regress to forget about responsibilities. she's already got puppycat, that's enough caregiving for today lol. she would probably do it openly in her own apartment, and while she does, puppycat just kinda stands there and wonders what in the world she is doing !!!!!!!!! bro just wanted to watch pretty patrick lunchtime

Amethyst (Steven Universe)

Probably both??? idk this one's pretty recent and i have not given myself a lot of time to think about it. I mean. she's had Steven around for quite some time now, so caregiving probably isn't anything new to her. There's some regressor potential there i think..I mean shes got trauma and that's always something I work with. also since she can shapeshift, I feel like littlespace with her would definitely be interesting.

[kiatheinsomniac]

Hi.🙂 I know you're probably busy with requests again, but can you write a continuation of the Feeling Good smut? I'm painting Ezio (Brotherhood ver.) currently and I need a little *cough* motivation.🤫🤗

Pairing: Ezio x Reader

Word count: 1.2k

Warnings: NSFW, cockwarming

Feeling good II | Part One

“You’re taking awfully long.” You commented, sighing as you rested your chin on one of the assassin’s strong shoulders, his skin bare beneath yours. You had a book in your hands, eyes skimming across the familiar pages. “You’d think that you hadn’t, in fact, paid for this information.” 

“Forgive me if I’m distracted.” His voice came back strained, shifting slightly in the seat with you on his lap, causing you to tap the back of his head with the book in a warning ‘sit still’, knowing he had done it to slightly thrust his cock into where it was buried in your cunt with how you were sitting on him. The two of you had been sitting like this for what felt like hours by now, testing each other, neither wanting to be the first to give in but it seemed that Ezio’s patience was wearing thinner than yours. 

“Well, perhaps you should take a break to clear your head.” You hummed, reaching back to place your book on the desk while your other hand came up to gently untangle any knots in his dark hair that had been let down earlier. “What would you like to do?” He relaxed a little, leaning back into the chair more and wrapping his arms around your bare waist. You fought the urge to press down harder against him, to feel those muscular and scarred thighs under your own. You wouldn’t though, you wanted him to be the one to break. 

“I’d take you against a wall if they weren’t all covered in your trinkets.” He let out a low laugh and you frowned. 

“Are you calling me a hoarder, Auditore?” Your hand tangled in his hair to keep his head in place as you pulled back, lips teasingly brushing against his, your grip not allowing him to close the distance. 

“I wouldn’t dream of it, bellezza.” That charming grin of his cracked your facade, a smile tugging at the corner of your mouth as you leaned in for a messy kiss, feeling how his body tensed up, doing his utmost to stay still. 

“Well,” You started, peppering the corner of his mouth to his jaw in kisses, “there’s the bed…” His neck, feeling his head fall back as you loosened your grip in his hair, “we could clear the desk…” The moment you suggested it, his arms removed from your waist and you could hear all the notes and books being pushed to the corner of the desk that met the corner of the walls, all of your little stolen trinkets being pushed with them. 

Strong hands grabbed your thighs and you lifted too quickly to mourn the loss of him being inside you, now perched on the edge of the desk as he rose to his feet. 

“Eager, aren’t we?” You quipped. 

“Your games are cruel, woman.” He shook his head and you loved seeing his hair fall in front of his shoulders with the movement. 

“Oh but you love my games, if not then you would not agree to them.” Stunted for an answer, he kissed you instead, tongue making its way past your lips and pressing against your own. You stood to your feet, not breaking the kiss as you did so, hands roaming over his toned chest. “But I like to think I’m fair and patience is rewarded.” Your eyes were lidded as you looked at his which burned with desire. Your hands on his chest pushed him back just enough to give you room to turn around, leaning over the desk and looking over your shoulder at him as you slowly spread your legs apart. 

“Never have I met such a tease.” Ezio sighed as he pressed his hips to the softness of your ass, feeling his cock pressing to your skin as his hands kneaded your hips. 

“Then it would appear you’ve met your match, Auditore.” You pushed your hips backwards to encourage him, wanting this just as much as he did even if you didn’t quite verbalise that. There was a double entendre to your words that you hoped he would pick up on. You had set yourself on stealing his heart to add to your collection of stolen things. It would be your prized piece. 

You let out a soft moan at the feeling of the tip of his cock pressing into you and curled your hands into fists when he thrusted in all of the way, burying your face in your arms at feeling so full of him again. He leaned down over you to brush your hair from your shoulders, pressing kisses across your skin as it was revealed to his eyes. “Don’t test my patience now.” You warned. 

“So needy.” He remarked back and before you had the chance to retort, he set up a firm rhythm, your skin meeting in loud slaps and you pushed yourself up onto your forearms as your legs faltered for a moment. Ezio used this chance to reach down with one hand and cup your breast, thumb flicking over your nipple and making you moan at the simple pleasure it provided. He quickly fell into a harsh pace that reflected just how long you had made him wait for this today, the desk beginning to slam against the wall but the two of you cared very little for that. You reached a hand down to rub against your clit but Ezio grabbed your wrist, pinning it back down to the table firmly before letting go, silently telling you to keep it there. His own hand reached under you and you keened when his fingers pressed down against your clit, rubbing in tandem with his thrusts. 

“Close… Close…” You panted out, head falling against your arms once more, legs trembling at the release which had been hung over you for hours now. 

“Then cum for me.” He groaned out, nipping your shoulder with his teeth as he leaned over you, body pressing yours down, “Come on the cock that you wouldn’t even let yourself move on.” With a hot kiss to the crook of your neck to muffle his own groans, you came around him and, in your high, felt how his hips faltered for a moment before becoming relentless, without rhythm. You fell, boneless, to the desk with a satisfied sigh as hot ropes of his cum painted your back. You were pulled back into his lap, you being more than content enough to curl up into him on the plush chair, both of your hearts hammering as you let your breathing steady out. 

“The information isn't going anywhere. We can rest for a while.” You suggested, pressing a lazy kiss to his collarbone, a hand coming up to rest on his shoulder, your thumb caressing his tanned skin. 

“In a moment.” His arms held you just slightly closer, “I’ll clean us up first.”

“Such a gentleman.” You teased with a smile, knowing he would be rolling those beautiful eyes at you. 

“You never shut up, do you?” He laughed as he picked you up bridal style, intent on setting you on the corner of the bed so that he could wipe you down with a damp cloth. 

“You like hearing me.” You boasted as he pushed some of your damp hair away from your face tenderly, not missing how his face utterly softened as he looked at you. 

“I do.” The two of you would sleep in your bed until evening when he would need to leave once more but you were certain of one thing by now: he would always be back.

Batarou Love Languages

Feeling an “in love” mood so some Batarou HCs for love languages!

Garou ver.

i. Sharing

Whenever Garou comes home from his walks, he brings tokens for Badd. A can of coca-cola from a vending machine; a bright blue feather of an uncommon bird; a pouch of marbles from Tareo; a baseball he said he caught out of nowhere. Garou leaves them at Badd’s bedside table to find with no explanation for what or why or how.

Badd doesn’t throw it out. He never does. He drinks the cola but washes the can for another use; the feather gets used as a bookmark for his text books; the marbles he gives on his desk as something to fiddle when he’s antsy or bored; the baseball he puts on the cabinet, along with his family’s antiques, stored away like it’s a token of the past. (Who knows, maybe it is)

Badd never asks. Just accepts. And whenever he does, Garou looks so pleased.

ii. Helping

Badd never asked much from Garou when the latter decided to stay at home. He tells Garou to make the bed when he’s done lying on it; to wash his hands before meal time because who knows what germs are under his nails. To dry his hair before going to bed; to use a glass when he’s going to drink the milk.

Never once did Badd ask Garou to pay rent or do any favors. One can say Badd is kind like that, but Badd also knows Garou doesn’t have any money or won’t do anything he doesn’t want to.

But when Badd has laundry he needs to air out, it’s always folded and stored away even before Badd can get to touch them. They’re off their hangers, the clothesline completely empty. Badd checks his cabinet to see his washed and now-dried hakama hanging along with the rest of his clothes, along with his gakuran, his red sweater.

Only Garou is staying at home today. 

iii. Listening

Badd is a drunk rambler.

That’s what his friends used to tell him when he drank a can of beer once and became intoxicated. He wasn’t drunk that time, only tipsy, and yet his friends told him he almost talked their ears off about random things. I was the one who actually broke Mrs. Hamada’s window, not Tony, or Do you think if plants had feelings, kale would taste bitter.

“Remind us to never drink with you again,” his friends once said.

Badd should’ve taken that into account when he agreed to drink a few cans of beer with Garou that night. And now Badd is stuck crying while telling the story of Finding Nemo to the person least likely interested about a lost fish.

But then, Garou says, “Then what?”

Badd sniffs. “What?”

“The fish gets flushed in the toilet. What happens then?”

“He - “ Oh god, Badd has a hard time trying to talk about what happens. So he ends up letting out an ugly sob instead. “I’m sorry,” he says in a garbled voice.

“Take your time,” Garou hands him a tissue.

iv. Staying

Because he is an S-class hero, Badd is mandated to undergo weekly check-ups.

And it sucks. Not because he doesn’t care about his health or anything, it just takes so long. 15 minutes to get his laboratory request processed; 30 minutes to get the blood tests and the x-rays done; 45 minutes of waiting for the doctor to see him for his physical exam; an hour almost to wait for some of his results to get printed out.

“You know, you don’t have to wait for me,” Badd tells Garou, who’s been seated at the hallway for who knows how long. A hood covering the tufts of his white hair, but his golden eyes are visible, gleaming. Garou must feel so antsy being cooped like this. “I might be here after an hour or so. Have you eaten yet?”

Garou snorts but doesn’t budge from his seat. He lets the back of his head rest on the chair. “We’ll eat after you’re done,” Then he pulls his hood all over his nose. “Wake me up when we can leave.”

v. Touching

And because he is an S-class hero, Badd is no stranger when it comes to wounds and injuries.

The fight is over, the monster unconscious and defeated. But Badd, the clear victor of this battle, feels like he’s about to end up like that monster, too. Bruised and wrung out; lied across the pavement like a dinner for the crows. Badd can’t be like that. Zenko is waiting for him at home.

Badd takes a step and tumbles. The bat clatters from his hands and he slides down to the ground, like an asteroid coming down on earth. But then, his descent stops. His head lolls to a cool chest. Garou cradles his side as gently as he can while hooking Badd’s arm around his shoulders.

His long slender hands feel so comforting against Badd’s hip. Badd never knew hands can be like this.

“Let’s go home,” Garou whispers, gentle as a spring breeze.

Badd nods and lets himself get carried along the rest of the way.

i’m so sorry abt the positive covid test again😭😭i’m really praying that you’ll it’ll come back negative soon and you can go on that trip next fro…it SUCKS to be homebound esp for like so long… 🙏🙏🤍hoping for the best for you🥺you really deserve to go out nd have fun again😩

if u need smthing else to think abt tho in the meantime if u dont mind me asking!! abt chrysi mordred bc im OWO. where is this mordred from… whats he about..im invested in chrysi and him alrdy… can he be friends with my mordred. what are some songs on their playlist alrdy👀

Thanks ;;;;; it doesn't feel good, but there's nothing more to be done but rest + take my vitamins + stay hydrated. I really appreciate the prayers!

I don't mind talking about Chrysi and Mordred! They've all I've been thinking about!!

Mordred's from the Camelot Rising trilogy by Kiersten White! He's just... the saddest guy ever. He wants to bring joy and healing, but he feels like he's always causing pain around him. His father never had any feelings for him (as his father was fairy, and he'd forget about his son often ;;;;; ) and his mother was always bent on revenge. He's soooo huggable and sad :((( Actually, he's defs got chronic pain because he's half-fairy--so iron hurts him all the time, and being around things that drain magic hurt him and he has to act like it doesn't. I've made myself sadder ;;;;;;

I'm being incoherent, but I just! I love him! Every time his name was mentioned in the book, I visibly straightened because I hoped I would see him again :(( I love him and Chrysi together. I want him to pledge himself as her knight, and I want him to teach her how to fight better with a sword. Is there anything more romantic than that?

So far! Their playlist has w.o.t.h by Tamino, Once Upon a Dream by Lana Del Rey, Salt by Marcin, Kingdom Dance by Alan Menken, Endless Dreams (Midnight Ver.) from Deemo II, and Scarborough Fair by Dan Avidan and the Super Guitar Bros (specifically this version bcs WHEW). I also think of him whenever I listen to the Quest for Camelot soundtrack, for obvious reasons!

“lucky ending” extra notes i & iii

Hi, I said I would do it but then I released ver i so long ago that I felt I shouldn't do this unless I had another version out at least so yay! finally! ... I'll add ver ii here when I get around to writing it... *shifty eyes* So as usual, this is just my thought process and ideas while writing lol.

*please do not read if you haven’t read “lucky ending” ver i (dorm leaders) & ver iii (rook & lilia).

It was inspired by an anon ask and the button tradition from Japanese schools.

The anon ask went like this: First at all, I like do much your writing and I hope you are doing well. Second, I was wondering what would happen if the MC (Fem!s/o I guess) decided to not go back to her world, like she decide stay with her villain? Can you do make headcanons of this for the dorm leaders? Thank you very much. – from Anonymous

The button tradition, as narrated by the first years, is done when one person confesses and the other responds by giving them the button closest to their heart. In most Japanese uniforms it’s the second uniform, but in Twisted Wonderland--I looked at the ceremonial robes and the closest button should be the fifth. Maybe. I could be wrong. 

The songs I listened to while writing this! 

The original dorm leaders (and Rook) was written while listening to “Lucky Ending”, the ending theme of Fruits Basket. The English lyrics (translated by otenkiame!) are: 

“Change is important. I want to do it well,/ but I wanna cry. It's still bad. I wanna cry” 

“The word "goodbye" has disappeared completely from this world/ All that remains is me fooling around next to you/A day you don't laugh won't come anymore”

“I've understood it since being here/ These feelings of wanting to protect you aren't a misunderstanding/ If we can call what connects us bonds,/ everything changes/ everybody changes/ Even if in a different world, it'll never be different/ everything changes/ everybody changes/ Don't change, ever/ Stay here, stay here”

I think it’s obvious why I chose to use this as the title of the series. It’s a story about change but it’s also a story about the things you don’t want to change... And I think it’s not wrong to want to hold onto things. 

I also listened to the same playlist that I listened to while writing “wendy?” “hello peter pan”:

“Can’t help falling in love” cover by Annapantsu, “If you’re not the one” by David Beddingfield, “Who Knew” by P!nk and “All Too Well” by Taylor Swift. 

For Lilia in particular, I was listening to three Beauty and the Beast songs on loop. “Evermore” by Josh Groban, “Days in the Sun” by the live action cast and, of course--”How does a moment last forever” by Celine Dion.

“How does a moment last forever?/ How can a story never die?/ It is love we must hold onto/ Never easy, but we try/ Sometimes our happiness is captured/ Somehow, our time and place stand still/ Love lives on inside our hearts and always will”

Also for Lilia, Tolerate It by Taylor Swift.

“You're so much older and wiser and I/ I wait by the door like I'm just a kid”

“I made you my temple, my mural, my sky/Now I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life”

Malleus was definitely the first piece finished. Closely followed by Vil’s. I believe there was a gap inbetween them before I did the others? I wrote bits and pieces of Leona, Idia, Kalim and Azul’s. I think I finished Leona, Idia, Kalim then Riddle because I distinctly remember saving Azul for last. 

One of the most important things for me, is that each story stands distinct of each other. So I gave myself a really hard time trying to figure out how each one uniquely belonged to each of the characters.

For the Prologue... I think because it’s set at the graduation of certain characters, I used that to my advantage and implied the stronger bonds between the Yuu!Reader and the entirety of the cast. Because a lot of time has passed and I feel like--regardless of what other people believe, bonds will be made and relationships will have strengthened enough for it to happen. 

Riddle is honestly another really difficult character for me to write. I generally do love him and I enjoy his story, but something about him is difficult and I’m not sure why. 

I think a part of me is also really miffed because from Heartslabyul-Savanaclaw, you could feel that Riddle really cared for Yuu on some level but then he just straight up disappears come Octavinelle chapter. I feel like there was potential to develop their relationship even more. 

He WENT UP AND TIED YOUR RIBBON I REMEMBER I WENT DOKI DOKI OVER THAT. 

I feel like because I’ve established that it’s a Yuu!Reader, it’s impossible for this story to not include both Ace and Deuce. So of course they featured in really big roles for this one, being responsible for telling Riddle the story.

I have to thank my friend, Mes, for bouncing ideas with me. They were the one who suggested what I could do with Riddle’s story by having ADeuce play such a big part!

I also tried my hardest to include Trey and Cater, and I’m pretty happy with their cameo. In a way, they definitely helped Riddle figure out his own feelings for you. 

My favourite lines are: “I think you earned that much. I don’t believe anyone’s ever been in your situation before so—there’s no right or wrong about what you’re doing. It’s all about what you want to do.”

I wish someone would tell this to Yuu in general though. They’re the only one who has ever been in their situation (to our knowledge at least) and like... they’re definitely allowed to be even more selfish. 

Leona is someone who I used to dislike a lot. I never hid that. It’s primarily because of how disappointed I am in the story of Savanaclaw probably. But like, I was always concerned about writing him properly because I thought that it was only right that I did right by him, because there would be people reading these stories who loved him. And I felt like I had to do right by that love. 

I think... it’s wrong to believe that characters... villains... cannot fall in love or “won’t fall in love.” I think it’s wrong also to think that “people don’t change for love.” 

In fact, people do change. You definitely shouldn’t change yourself to be loved, but... people change all the time to be their “better” selves. So whose to say that a good person, who you love, will not make you want to improve yourself? Isn’t that what we want when we meet people? To fall in love with someone who will ultimately make you better and never worse. 

Or so that’s how I try to write the Twisted characters when they fall in love... With an understanding that “morally” the person they are falling for is “kind” and “good” and how a part of them might just want to be better just for that person. (Especially Leona and Azul). They don’t necessarily have to be nice to everyone, but if they can be better for one person... We stan healthy character growth.  

But yeah, Leona is driven by understanding that he’s a very selfish person. But that he’s also very unfortunate and he doesn’t want tie you with someone who, he thinks, is actually worthless. He probably, deeply, thinks you deserve more.

Though his selfishness eventually wins out and well... Won’t you forgive him for it? :) For tying you down to this worthless second prince? 

I think his own self-awareness does make him try harder. Not for everyone or everything... but for you. Just for you. I think that would be Leona’s love language--spending time with you, trying for you.

He’d appreciate if you didn’t call him out on it though, that would be very embarrassing. 

Looking back, I’m surprised that it was the only version where none of the other boys from his dorm showed up lol. Which means Ruggie is the sole character who has yet to appear in the “lucky ending” series, huh.

My favourite lines from his story that still leaves me breathless and patting my past self in the back: ““I’m home—” you said—even if a part of you felt that home should have been two green eyes, a cocky smirk, and a warm patch of sunlight on the grassy ground.”

Like honestly, what was I on? Who was she?

Azul is, like Leona, someone who is so keenly aware of the things he’s lacking. In fact, he’s someone who thinks he’s lacking when he’s probably perfect in some aspects. He might act proud but a part of him--I think--thinks its not enough. It’s never enough. He can certainly do better still.

In that light, it’s why he thinks he’s undeserving of a partner. Especially one who is “kind” and “understanding.” While ultimately, Azul deserves people in his life who are that and “accepting” of him--I think he still thinks he doesn’t. 

And thats why he lets go of the Yuu!Reader. It’s why he doesn’t “chase” after her like Leona did.

It’s because he’s selfish, because he wants her--that he forces himself to let go. 

Azul needs someone who’ll tell him that he is worth something and that he’s definitely worth the effort. So please praise him a lot until he’s crying in happiness. I’m sure it’s the one thing he’s always wanted to hear from people around him.

Also my Poly!Octavinelle Agenda has never died and I am pleased Past!Ai got away with so much Poly!Octa hints in this story lol. But honestly, regardless of wht Octavinelle says... god, you can tell they genuinely care about each other.

I recently rewatched Octavinelle’s chapter and... by god, the amount of things I missed out on first watch. Jade’s concern when he realized Azul wanted to get rid of that photo... The fact Floyd was so willing to drop the fight to return to Azul too... Anyways, Poly!Octa Agenda for life.

Favourite lines: “Azul’s pathetic whimpers turned into guttural sobs. His fingers spread to cover his eyes—and his glasses slid off his face, down to his lap and then to the ground—at his actions. His whole body shook as he cried his heart out.”

It’s not as poetic as a lot of my other favourites, but for some reason these lines always get me when I reread them. There’s something so visceral about it. 

Azul’s piece is probably the least visually stimulating out of all these stories? His was so emotionally driven compared to the others and I worried a lot about that.

I think I remember I was crying so badly as I was writing this. 

Kalim is really hard for me because I feel like I struggle a lot with finding conflict in his character? He’s such a genuinely nice person, I find it hard to believe that the Yuu!Reader would feel alienated from him or something. So I brought in “environment” to get in the way. 

My use of celestial imagery for Kalim is because of the Scarabia trailer! I really loved how it put Kalim as the sun and Jamil as the moon. I definitely will take advantage of that when I get around to writing for Jamil.

So because I wanted to use the sun, I chose to use the idea of comets for Kalim? I think I remember something about how meteors are drawn to the gravitation pull of the sun and can “escape” it or “be destroyed” by it. Haha, hot. 

Jamil is someone who ultimately cares about Kalim too and I had fun writing his banter with the Yuu!Reader. I think I wanted to decribe the shadows licking his face reminscent to the marks from his Overblot but... I felt like doing that would give Jamil too much focus so I ultimately decided against it.

It would’ve been hot though. 

Oh yes, one thing I wanted to talk about is Kalim’s rushed proposal. I remember people talking about it in the tags, comments... even in asks at that time. The reason he does it is because he’s someone who didn’t realize his feelings until you spelled out your own. It was a sort of: “Oh. Right. That is the word I’d use to describe my feelings.” 

My favourite lines from his story is: “How does one bid goodbye to the sun?” and “No one ever willingly bids goodbye to the sun.They spend the rest of their lives trying to find the right way back to it.”

My god, who was this genius.

Vil is probably the most visually stunning out of all these stories. I feel like my stories go from super vivid imagery and setting to just complete emotional disasters lol. (Vil being the former and Azul’s being the latter... not that it’s bad, it actually suits the characters). 

Oh man, I remember thinking that Vil is such a hard character to write because we don’t know what his motivation for perfection is. All we knows is that he wants to be the best but, why? 

It’s like, for example, Idia. His motivations could be otaku-related. He doesn’t want to go to class because he’d rather go play or something. That sounds in character--but Vil was so hard because he wanted perfection.

But we already see him as such a perfect character, so what else did he need to be even more perfect? In that light, Chapter 5 did a really good job on presenting Vil’s motivations. 

But honestly, I think I can comfortably say that the Vil I’ve written so far is pretty accurate? To his character. I’m really grateful I read his chat lines because his comment about intelligence really got me thinking about his possible motivations. It made it really easy to understand that Vil wasn’t like majority of the real world’s influencers. 

One other thing that I was really happy about with his story is the use of the flower language. It’s something I hope I can use more because it’s so beautiful. 

Oh! And the roses the Yuu!Reader talks about are double delight roses. They are specifically bred to have two colors--yellow in the center and pink on the outside. I thought it fitting that the Yuu!Reader breed special roses for Vil.

They can be called... err... Vil Roses?

My favourite lines from his story is:  ““My happiness will not be dictated by others—no, Vil Schoenheit is a person who will grasp happiness with his own hands.” [...] “I’m giving you this button because I’ve already found happiness by your side.”” 

This line was actually inspired by Zelda C.W.’s MYth series. Specifically Hera’s story, Will. 

Idia ...for him, I somehow had a very hard time imagining him trying to tell the reader to stay. Like that didn’t compute for me? I felt like his version was better approached in a more comedic light somehow. 

I also felt that it would be cuter if the Yuu!Reader had already chosen to stay and Idia would need to hastily retrack his confession... Unfortunately, Yuu!Reader won’t let him. 

Honestly looking back on it, I wonder how much of Chapter 6 is going to make me scream and want to rewrite Idia’s part? 

My favourite lines from his story is: “He was never particularly good at lying—nor was he good at keeping secrets from you. You were a person he considered a dear friend—and he was always the type of person who ended up spilling everything to you. He liked being able to talk about the things he enjoyed—he liked that he had found someone who wanted to hear him out.”

A lot of my interpretation for Idia is closely linked to personal experience as an anime, manga and gaming fan. It was just a couple of years ago where people would actually be bullied for liking these things--but nowadays its become a norm. It’s... stunning actually but it makes me happy to know that maybe nobody will be judged for loving anime.

That being said, Idia’s longing to find someone he can talk to is something I really relate too--back then, it was so difficult to find someone to talk to about my interests... So I interpreted Idia as much the same. That what he enjoys about the Yuu!Reader is their ability to simply sit and listen to him talk. 

Malleus... man, recently I’ve been starting to fall in love with him all over again. He was my first oshi ever... Anyways, moving on. You think I’ve talked enough about immortal x mortal but nope, we are not done. I love this theme in general, romantic or platonic. 

I will never shut up about it you can’t make me. 

Sebek having a good enough friendship with Yuu!Reader is such a delicious concept. Like mutual respect and Sebek understanding that Yuu!Reader gives Malleus a different type of companionship that Sebek, Silver or Lilia couldn’t... 

And also, ultimately, Sebek and Yuu!Reader do love Malleus. In different ways, but I like the thought of Sebek respecting that and respecting the Yuu!Reader.

Me realizing just now that Silver joins Ruggie in the: “has never appeared in a lucky ending fic club.”... Sorry Silver, I swear soon. Once we get more content on you.

Celestial themes for Malleus are primarily, again, because he only ever seemed to meet you at night. And I thought it would be wonderful, if you were a bright spark to him. 

Favourite lines are definitely:  “Oh, bright light… I would prefer to live the rest of your life by your side… rather than spend centuries contemplating what it could have felt… to hold you in my arms.”

I am, always, going to be such a big sucker for the idea of immortals constantly remembering and loving mortals. Always holding them close in their memories, because in that way--their lovers have become immortal with them. 

I also like to imagine that he eventually figures out a way to connect your worlds together so you can still talk to your friends and family from that world. He is one of the most powerful magicians around, I’m sure its possible.

Rook was honestly the most difficult piece for me to write because he’s so hard(?) for me to understand. He’s a mess of contradictions honestly and I... guess I’m excited to see what he’ll do come Chapter 6. 

I actually rewrote his story so much. I got about 500 words with a different idea/plot in mind before deleting that completely and restarting from scratch. 

I feel like Rook is someone who talks big and talks about love without actually knowing what it truly might feel like. He’s someone who doesn’t understand it and ends up mistaking it for his fascination. 

Aside from me enjoying inserting other characters from the same dorm as much as possible, I felt that Vil was the perfect person to snap some sense into Rook.

Epel’s appearance there is basically to reflect how much I really hope the first year kids get really close to one another. 

Rook is also someone who I think, doesn’t try to explain himself too much. He’s someone who I think talks a lot, but if people don’t understand him then he doesn’t need to be understood? That’s my impression. Lol, when “lucky ending” became a character study. 

I also really loved the idea that Rook was fine with people running from him--to him that makes it all the more thrilling. But then you start running away from him and that just ends up making dread pool in his stomach. 

My favourite lines from his story: “‘When something ends, it must be sad. So, tell me then, how an ending could be so beautiful?’ [...] .‘But there was one ending that was beautiful, non?’ [...] ‘That’s right. ‘They lived happily ever after’—are those not the words that define a beautiful ending?’”

I used the dusk metaphor for Rook. My idea is that he starts seeing dusk as an ending and how he can’t fathom how any “ending” is beautiful. When a story ends, it’s not beautiful to him, humu. But when that ending is the happily ever after then... That makes all the difference. 

Lilia was actually easier than Rook’s but also fairly difficult. I had written the middle of Lilia’s piece while stumped on Rook’s actually. Lilia’s was probably easier because I love the idea of immortals and mortals.

I don’t really like the idea of mortals becoming immortals. Like, yes, it’s certainly sweet and spending eternity with a one true love is definitely the best possible ending but... I think there’s so much weight in an immortal choosing to love a mortal while knowing that they will ultimately lose them.

The biggest theme for Lilia is definitely time.

Thinking about it now... There’s been a lot of things in real life that’s just... Made me think about how we have less time than we actually think we have. And I think I ended up channeling that through Lilia... Though I feel like it is ultimately things Lilia would think about though. 

The most important imagery would probably be the stars.

I honestly wanted to avoid it because I used celestial imagery for both Kalim and Malleus but the words just flowed out in a way that I felt that I couldn’t replace. So I went with it. 

Lilia is no stranger to loneliness. One of the reasons he feels less alone is because he has family now and he doesn’t want to rob you of that. Family is so important to him because they are people who are meant to be with you--they are people who will make you less lonely--or so thats how I think? he thinks. 

My favourite lines from his story: “He would relish in the way—You made the world pause. You made a moment extend into an eternity. You made an immortal crave just a little more time.”

I’m so immensely proud of this one? I don’t really have much else to say. There’s something so raw about it that I love. Also the part where it continues on to say that  “Because there is never enough time.”

Me realizing my extra notes is just half me simping over these characters, half sharing headcanons, have actually giving good advice? perspective?, half song lyrics, half character study/analysis?

“lucky ending” is about change. Whether we want them to happen or not it’s... the human condition to change. For better or worse, we change--day by day. I think we all operate under a small panic about how everyday things are changing...

But “lucky ending” is also about the things that don’t change. Won’t change. Will never change. The things worth holding onto, the thing worth fighting for... or so I’d like to think.

you’re so creepy | part ii | myg ver

Every campus has one. You know - the resident campus creepy girl. This campus has seven. All from in the boys’ POV.

summary: Yoongi helped his creepy girl get through her piano midterm, hooray! But uh... he’s not great at Chemistry. Fortunately for him, someone he knows is the Chemistry TA.

warnings: non-idol!BTS - university!BTS; 18+ for language, (a tiny bit of) suggestive language; Yoongi’s POV

part i

-

“It’s the dehydration method. That means you’re trying to remove water. Hydrogen from here, hydroxide from here…”

“… Ah.”

Silence.

“I think I’m going to fail my Chemistry midterm.”

She placed her hand on her forehead. A single silver ring was on her thumb. He noticed her nails were painted black with red blood drips.

“I gotta say, piano prodigy, I did not think you were going to be this shit at Chemistry.”

There were in an empty lecture hall. The professor had said earlier in the week that if anyone needed help, they could attend office hours at this time. Yoongi, after reviewing his Chemistry grade, showed up. He was quite surprised when he saw her sitting there waiting. Something about the other TA being busy –  “As in, he’s hungover from last night.” “… Last night was Tuesday.” “It be like that sometimes.” – and he learned she was the TA for the morning lecture.

Min Yoongi sort of wished he had registered for the morning lecture now.

She moved her coffee and took his notes, placing them next to her. The cup had a label on it with the flavor and the details of the order – cream only, no sugar. Yoongi furrowed his brow at it. He sensed her rummaging through her bag and diverted his attention from the cup. Six black studs on each ear gleamed in the overhead light. As usual, silver hoop, black bat as the lobe earrings. She took the colored pens from her pencil case and began to draw a diagram, arrows in various colors. Lower lip trapped between her teeth, clicking her tongue. Black lipstick, winged eyeliner. Messy ponytail, with her long bangs hanging on each side of her face. Today she was wearing a horror movie sweatshirt that looked like it had been in a horror movie itself and tight black jeans with neon green skeleton hands going up one leg.

Yoongi wondered where people found these clothes. Even in all black, her aesthetic stood out.

“Does this help?” she said suddenly, turning the page back around. She explained the steps in detail, indicating what each molecule was doing with specific colors. Yoongi’s brow furrowed at the chemical equation. It seemed to be clearer now.

“You have been drawing too many arrows in your steps and confusing yourself,” she continued, pointing to his notes. “I know it’s annoying, but you should write out each small step so you can understand it better later. It will make your math more accurate too.”

“… Why can’t science be an elective?”

“Because without science you can’t understand the world, and if you can’t understand the world, you go drinking on a Tuesday night.”

Yoongi rubbed his temples and took the notes. He turned to his practice sheet and began scrawling, trying to keep his arrows neat. She sipped her coffee, waiting patiently. It wasn’t really his nature, but it did help speed things up since he wasn’t questioning every little thing. When he was done, he gave her the page and she nodded, giving him a thumbs up.

“I mean, your writing is awful, but I could grade this, so it’s fine.”

He frowned. “The professor’s writing is worse.”

She laughed, raspy and thin. “Well, I grade the tests, so the one you have to appease is me.”

They sat there in silence for a short second. Yoongi cleared his throat.

“How was your piano midterm?”

She blinked at him. “He posts the grades outside his door. You can look if you want.” She smirked at him, rolling her eyes. “You’re number one, as usual. Did you want congratulations?”

“Actually, I wanted to tell you good job for ranking at number seven.”

She paused, her teasing expression falling. “… Oh. Uh… number seven isn’t that impressive.” Her cheeks flushed pink and she looked away, taking a long sip from her coffee.

“I’m proud of you.”

She coughed, hitting her chest lightly. “Er… thanks, dad.”

The side of his lips curved upwards. She noticed and froze, giving him a weird look. Her coffee cup had a black imprint on it. Yoongi remembered going to the bathroom that day, surprised at the traces of black lipstick. It hadn’t been that long of a kiss… or maybe it had?

“I thought you would act weirder around me,” she remarked calmly, placing her paper cup back on the table.

Yoongi blinked slowly. “Why?”

She shrugged. “I dunno, I randomly kissed you. Normal people would be kinda weird about it.”

Yoongi frowned. There was a bitterness to her voice, the kind that reminded him of the last dregs of coffee grounds that somehow made it to the bottom. His stomach had a funny feeling all of a sudden. It had been a weird experience, sure, but not unpleasant. Yoongi shrugged.

“Why’d you do it?”

“I always thought you were hot.”

Her eyes shifted to him. A slow smile grew on her face. Yoongi just stared at her with wide eyes, completely dumbstruck. He thought he was straightforward. She shrugged, grabbing her pencil case and tucking her colored pens into it.

“I mean, I get it. I’m kinda cooky. Not your type.”

Yoongi sputtered. “N-no, it’s just…” Embarrassment flooded his entire system. He felt like he was short circuiting. “N-no one has ever told me that I’m attractive. Like, uh… that.”

She raised her eyebrows, placing her pencil case in her backpack. “Why not? You have a cute face, dress pretty well…” Her hand was on her backpack strap, slinging it over her shoulder casually. “Nice legs.” He blinked at his legs as if he just realized he had them. “And we know how talented your hands are, so…”

Now Yoongi knew. He was actually one with a tomato.

“Sounds like a great formula to me.”

The chair scraped against the ground and she stood up, cocky grin on her face.

“Let’s see if you pass your midterm, and then maybe we’ll go on a date.”

And then she sauntered off.

[reversemoon255]

So I’ve built 25 model kits and done 10 various upgrades over the past year, both kits and original. It’s a decent head above the 27 I did last year. And like last year (or technically the start of this year), I’d like to go over the kits I’ve done this year and give some brief thoughts on some of the move interesting or personal things I’ve built. It feels like a good way to round up the year.

GAT-XMAGI Striking Gundam Warlock

The first model I built this year, and the biggest custom I’ve worked on to date. I’m still very happy with it, though at this point, having moved onto other projects and having done some work on the PAX with my 30MM stuff, I’m not sure I’m going to “finish” it. I was supposed to make a transforming unicorn, lion, and phoenix that become different Striker Packs for it. I may eventually get around to doing that, but I don’t know when I’m going to get around to it.

Gundam G40

Maybe my favorite kit I built this year, and also the first I built this year. The best way I can explain it is it does everything it can to be different, but every way it does is interesting. It’s hard to explain, but it’s probably the highest recommendation I have on this list.

RMS-099BC Build Γ Gundam 

I built a small handful of P-Bandai kits this year, with Build Gamma being the first. I did a good bit of work on this one, and so did the designers. It has reworked joints to increase its posability, and has some fun reuse of its old parts. An excellent kit if you’re willing to spend the extra to get it.

神竜合士 Avalanche Valkylander 

Another example of my liking gold paint way too much, but turned out pretty great. My one thing I wish I could fix is the hilt of the sword, which is a darker red. I actually got Gundam Red shortly after doing this kit, too! Still, I really like this as an upgrade kit, adding a ton of additional armor to the Valkylander and allowing you to display both it and the Dragon Mode separately. Kind of wish they had a second set in white for the Ex.

RX-78TB-2 [SB] Gundam Stormbringer

My first MG Gundam in forever! I had a lot of fun building this one, but I probably should have tried a little harder. I did everything with a panel liner, if I remember correctly, and I should have done my usual fill stuff at the very least. I think I was somewhat intimidated by it, so if I do any more MGs, I’ll be sure to give it the treatment it deserves.

RX-78-02 Gundam Early Type (The Origin Ver.) 

I put a lot of work into this one, considering I don’t like it. It’s not bad, but I find it way inferior to all the other RXs I’ve built. And I built a LOT of RXs this year to compare it to. What weirds me out, though, is how everyone I’ve talked to seems to really like this kit. Difference of opinion, I guess.

AGP-X1 Alus Core Gundam 

The Alus Core might be my favorite of the Core-Types we got over the last two years. The head design, the effect parts, the overall design. It also feels the most solid of all of them, improving on the Core’s design while not going too far like the Core II did. And it’s upgrades are pretty cool, too.

JMA0530-MAYBD Wodom Pod + 

This was a very fun, very good, very surprising kit. Despite its odd shape, it’s honestly one of the better kits I handled this year. It was a very fun build, ended up being a super posable kit, and had a bunch of odd features that ended up being for the the eventual Re:Rising Gundam.

PFF-X7/N8 Nepteight Gundam

Probably my favorite of the Core Gundam’s Armors. I got to use a ton of my favorite shade of gold on this one, and I really like the gimmick. It’s also kind of hilarious how little the Saturnix, Uraven, and Nepteight were actually utilized in the actual show, having brief appearances in a single episode each, and not even being used for the entire fight.

Figure-rise Standard MetalGarurumon (Amplified) 

A huge improvement over WarGreymon, as it’s just as cool a build, but way more posable. Which is actually pretty impressive, considering it’s a quadruped, and that’s a much harder set of articulation to nail down. I also like how he has an original sword gimmick, and WarGreymon has an original shield gimmick. Super looking forward to Imperialdramon next month and Mugendramon after that. (But please do Dukemon or Shoutmon next!)

RX-78-2 Gundam [Beyond Global] 

Another one of the amazing RX designs to come out this year. While I still prefer G40, this is a close second. Ever time I talk about those two, I always suggest getting both of them, since they’re both so similar yet do the same things in totally different ways. They are amazing companion pieces to each other.

GAT-X303K Gundam Aegis Knight 

Re:Rising Go! Despite my love for Re:Rising Gundam, this is mostly on here because of how much work I put into the shield. I mean look at it; I made it super pretty. Still, five separate modes, decent posability, a great design. Justice Knight edges it out as a solo kit, but if you’ve got the team, it is a great topper to a good show.

PFF-X7R/ANIMA Gundam Anima [Rize] 

Definitively the best release of the Core Gundam. Has the most interesting of all the Armor sets, great accessory integration, and comes with a ton of parts you can use for customization. If you only want one, I’d say go for this over the Earthree or Uraven.

GNY-004 Gundam Plutone

Fon Spaak rides again! The Plutone has always been a design I’ve enjoyed, and it’s cool getting a physical kit of it. I’m actually glad it took this long to get to it, since it ended up being a stronger kit due to more recent philosophies about parts layering and posability. It probably would have been a bit better if they hadn’t tried to incorporate some of the old HG00′s design ideas as well, but the good far out shadows the bad on this one. It is P-Bandai, though, so wallet beware.

30MM eEXM-0Smk-III Alto Stark Kai II 

I built the base unit back in January, and in December I finish its fourth incarnation (Base -> Stark -> Stark Kai -> Stark Kai II, if you’re wondering why 2 is 4). It also took me a year to actually be happy with how it looks. It just took so long for it to stop looking like an Alto and more its own thing. It’s also the only real custom project I worked on this year. There’re so many custom projects I want to work on that I just don’t want to sink the time into at the moment, which is definitely something I’m going to have to work on in 2021.

Overall, while not every kit I built this year was a winner, I built a lot of good kits and had a lot of fun with them. I hope some of you were inspired to pick a few up this year. Maybe try some painting things you weren’t originally comfortable with. And if you built some cool stuff this year, let me know and I might try grabbing them next year.

[innocent-until-proven-geeky]

for the character thing; cody, obi wan, and ur oc pova (is that how you spell it?)

YEAHYEAHYEAH (also that is how you spell it) I see we’re doing the whole family and I LOVE it.

I was in the middle of answering this and then I went to find my favorite episodes and Tumblr ate whatever I was working on sooooo I start over.

Cody

Why I like them: Sass. Fandom’s interpretation as Ultimate Big Brother (behind Alpha-17, of course). Mysterious scar. And he’s pretty.

Why I don’t: Honestly? The fact that the clones are slave soldiers, and the fact that fandom tends to give racially biased interpretations of the clones (I’m guilty of this too). Nothing to do with Cody himself, honestly, which isn’t to say he’s perfect or anything, I find him to be rough around the edges but who wouldn’t be in his shoes?

Favorite episode: s1e16 The Hidden Enemy. This one is probably on my top 5 list even without Cody. But guys. GUYS. “Hey there, Slick. Gun’s empty.” WHAT COULD BE MORE ICONIC?

Favorite film: Okay technically these questions were “episode/scene if a movie” and “season/movie” but because he’s in both I’m gonna have to go with a film for this one. Revenge of the Sith. Listen, I can’t watch ROTS without crying but damn if I don’t love Cody in it anyway. The lightsaber scene will ALWAYS get me. (Season 1 gets an honorable mention.)

Favorite line: Uh. Well. Okay so. “Hey there, Slick. Gun’s empty.” *holds up mag* LISTEN GUYS I LOVE THAT ONE. Although he also gets points for “I’m putting you in charge of this one.” I don’t know if season 1 just has a lot of iconic Cody lines, or if it’s because I’ve been watching that season in Spanish lately.

Favorite outfit: ... his armor? No actually though, I love his Phase II armor. Phase I is cool but Phase II has the cool ventilators. And how can I not make fun of his antenna?

OTP: Codywan. Ideally in a post-war fix-it or semi-fix-it where there isn’t a huge power imbalance, but I’ve been known to read Codywan stuff that takes place during the war, especially before I was as cognizant of the power imbalance as I am now.

BroTP: Cody and Rex. I’m sure y’all saw that one coming. I mean it’s CODY and REX, I’m pretty sure that’s everyone’s BroTP!

Headcanon: So this might be a good time to mention that I headcanon everyone everywhere as autistic. Everyone is autistic. Cody is autistic. Okay actually though, I headcanon that Cody has a great deal of anxiety. He handles it well, and he has a support system, but given his entire life, and the fact that he’s a Marshal Commander, and further more the headcanon we collectively have that Obi-Wan insists on promoting Cody to get out of paperwork because Cody deserves it, he’s probably anxious. And man, same.

Unpopular opinion: Do I have one? Tbh I don’t know how to determine whether an opinion about a character is unpopular. How do we define unpopular? Do we mean just like, not commonly known or shared? Because if so, I once again raise for your consideration: everyone is autistic, therefore Cody is autistic.

A wish: For Disney to retcon Order 66. Barring that, for the Bad Batch show to give him a happy ending involving the removal of his chip and the opportunity to live happily ever after with Obi-Wan on Tatooine. (Is the Bad Batch show going to be live-action like Kenobi? Because PLEASE give me Temuera Morrison playing Cody in both.)

An oh-gosh-please-don’t-ever-happen: Don’t laugh. Order 66. Listen I KNOW it’s canon but that doesn’t mean I have to like it!

5 words to best describe them: Salty. Snarky. Protective. Competent. Thoughtful.

My nickname for them: honestly, just Codes or Kote. Not much to get out of Cody, really.

Obi-Wan:

Why I like them: HE’S PRETTY. And sassy. There’s a pattern here.

Why I don’t: I don’t think there’s ever a time in canon that he acknowledges all the issues with the clones’ existence. He does in fanon, which I can appreciate, but canonically he’s like, “ah yes, we bought 3.2 million humans. We’ll just stick them in this war I guess.” Also frankly he’s a bit oblivious, bordering on daft, especially considering he’s the Negotiator, I mean he KEPT HIS LAST NAME when he went into hiding. I still love him though.

Favorite scene: That deleted “good girl, Boga” scene, which just hits different when you’ve read Master & Apprentice and know how much he loves varactyls. I don’t care that it’s deleted. It’s my favorite. (Plus you’ll probably like this better than my favorite episode, which is the Kadavo episode.)

Favorite film: Attack of the Clones. Listen listen listen, he has a lot of good moments in TCW, but hands down it’s AOTC.

Favorite line: Eheheheheheh. Eheheheheheheh. Eheheheheheheheheheheheheheheh. “Hello there!”

Favorite outfit: Was gonna make a comment about Jedi robes but then I remembered his stolen Mandalorian armor in The Lawless and *swoons* that’s one pretty outfit.

OTP: ... also Codywan. Again, ideally in an AU with less of a power imbalance, I mean it doesn’t matter how much he promotes Cody, canonically he’s still a Jedi and Cody is still a slave and I just don’t love that but I live for Codywan. Domestic Codywan? *chef’s kiss*

BroTP: probably Obi-Wan and Anakin. Maybe Obi and Padmé? Idk I have Thoughts about Anakin, he’s a problem child, but not much can top the agony in “You were my brother, Anakin! I loved you!” (I like whump, okay?) Also just. Can you imagine the Negotiator just being buds with Senator Amidala? Helping each other with domestic disputes and speeches? Working on a Clone Rights Bill? Yeah. Can it be a broT3? What if we just don’t have Anakin and Padmé dating? It’s such an unhealthy relationship. That’s it, broT3 is Anakin, Padmé, and Obi-Wan.

Headcanon: ACE!OBI ACE!OBI ACE!OBI!!!!!! Also,,, autistic!Obi. I know I know, but actually genuinely @fromryloth-tocorellia has some pretty good autistic!Obi-Wan stuff, including Obi-Wan being semi-verbal, low-verbal, and non-verbal. Autistic characters is a hill I will die on, and Obi-Wan is a character I happen to enjoy projecting on (oops). Plus, if I headcanon Cody and Obi-Wan as autistic, then the entire Ibonek family is autistic, and I love that.

Unpopular opinion: The only reason Obi-Wan “left Anakin to die” was because there was nothing he could safely do to help. When I was taking first aid classes, one of the first things they told us was that, unless there is no danger to yourself, you do not help. You wait for actual first responders to show up. If Obi-Wan had tried to help Anakin, either Anakin would have killed him or Obi-Wan would also have been severely burned. And if he had stayed, he may have been caught by Palpatine. Is it sad that he left? Absolutely. Heartbreaking. I don’t think it was a GOOD decision. But he didn’t just leave him to die; there was no other safe option. There were no good decisions here. I have a lot of thoughts about this, I have half-written essays on Discord about it, feel free to ask further questions.

A wish: For Qui-Gon’s dying words to be retconned. I know I wrote that post about how his dying words were full of trust in Obi-Wan and I stand by that, but that doesn’t mean Obi-Wan realized that, or that they were a good choice.

An oh-gosh-please-don’t-ever-happen: For the Kenobi show to be sad. It’s not allowed. Obi-Wan can have one fight, and that’s it, he is happy as a clam on Tatooine because he DESERVES GOODNESS DAMNIT.

5 words to best describe them: Kind. Soft. Warm. Compassionate. Daft.

My nickname for them: Obi

Pova:

What I like about them: They’re my OC and I can do whatever I want with them!

What I don’t: They’re my OC and I’m in charge of them.

(Okay actually though:)

What I like about them: Nonverbal. Pink. Perpetually grumpy.

What I don’t: perpetually grumpy. Seriously how did that happen? Why did I do that? Why is the only time they AREN’T grumpy around Rex or when shopping with Obi-Wan?

Favorite scene: The adoption scene in “Observations on the Nature of Cody Ibonek”.

Favorite work: Probably “Observations”. It’s the first one that’s entirely from Pova’s point of view.

Favorite line: “He was making fun of my stimming. I was already having a bad day. I punched him. It’s whatever.” POVA NO. (Pova yes.)

Favorite outfit: Uh. Haven’t given it much thought yet? Haven’t done many character designs, although fromryloth-tocorellia did one for me and it’s my icon at @ver-writes-things if you want to check that out? Also my Halloween costume is gonna be a super basic cosplay of them and I’ll probably post that.

OTP: None. First of all, the oldest I’ve written them so far is 14. Second, I don’t have any other characters their age yet. Maybe the six kids from the Gathering episode survived? But even then I probably wouldn’t ship it. And I mean, not every character needs a romantic ship.

BroTP: Either Pova and Rex or Pova and Luke. Rex is like big brother/cool uncle, and Luke is like little brother. As of right now, though, definitely Rex, as I haven’t written much of anything with Luke.

Headcanon: I don’t have any because all my headcanons about this character are CANON! Man I love having OCs.

Unpopular opinion: to quote Paige Layle on TikTok: “Stop using the term low functioning autistics when you really mean that they’re just nonverbal. And nonverbal autistics still have a lot to say, they just have a hard time talking.” Basically, I’m certain that as this AU gains traction, Pova’s gonna start getting flak from readers for being nonverbal. It hasn’t happened yet, and maybe I’m just being pessimistic, but just in case someone needs the reminder: No. Stop now. Pova’s autistic. And nonverbal. And not a savant (man I fucking hate that trope). But they are a capable Jedi and, with Cody and Obi, developed a very functional sign language comprised of Jedi hand signals, trade sign language (like from episode 5 of the Mandalorian, that the Tuskens use?), and ARC signals. There will be NO functioning labels on this AU, and Pova has and will continue to have PLENTY to say. If you have a problem you know where the door is.

A wish: For everyone to love my kiddo as much as I do!

An oh-gosh-please-don’t-ever-happen: Listen Pova is gonna have a good and happy life. There is trauma and there is bullying and there is heartache but they are going to live a good life with two AMAZING dads. So there is no “don’t ever happen” because it won’t.

5 words to best describe them: Sneaky. Quiet. Excitable. Compassionate. Snarky.

My nickname for them: Kiddo or my kiddo.

🌸 The Present Perfect and Pluperfect in Spanish 🌙

In Spanish there are two main forms of verbs in the perfective aspect: the present perfect (es presente perfecto) and the pluperfect (el pluscuamperfecto). These verb forms are conjugated by combining some conjugation of 'haber' with a past participle.

🌸 Part I - Past Participles 🌙

So what even is a past participle? A past participle is essentially a way of stating that an action has been completed. We do this in English typically by adding -ed to the end of a verb (ex. create » created). This way a verb can be used with a perfective aspect (ex. I have finished the assignment) and can also be used as an adjective (ex. it is finished).

In Spanish the past participle serves the same function. It can be used to put an action in the perfective aspect (ex. yo he comido “I have eaten”) or as an adjective (ex. está comido “it’s eaten”). There are three main categories of verbs in the past participle in Spanish.

The first category is the past participle of regular -ar verbs (ex. cantar, bailar, gritar, etc.) To put these verbs in the past participle simply remove the -ar at the end of the verb and replace it with -ado.

Examples:

cantar (sing) » cantado (sang, sung)

bailar (dance) » bailado (danced)

gritar (scream) » gritado (screamed)

necesitar (need) » necesitado (needed)

viajar (travel) » viajado (traveled)

The second category is the past participle of regular -er and -ir verbs (ex. comer, correr, venir, etc.) To put these verbs in the past participle simply remove the -er or -ir and replace it with -ido.

Examples:

comer (eat) » comido (eaten)

correr (run) » corrido (ran)

venir (come) » venido (came)

tener (have) » tenido (had)

sentir (feel) » sentido (felt)

Note! There are some verbs which are still regular -er and -ir verbs that get an accent right before the ‘d’ but still are regular. This happens mainly for pronounciation purposes and to keep the proper stress, as this tends to happen with -er/-ir verbs with diphthongs. Some examples are:

leer (read) » leído (read)

caer (fall) » caído (fallen)

traer (bring) » traído (brought)

The third and final category of past participles is the irregular ones, of which there are a good number. Some of these are similar to each other, but in general they dont follow a singular rule with which we can categorize them with other past participles. These are:

abrir (open) » abierto (opened)

absolver (absolve) » absuelto (absolved)

cubrir (cover) » cubierto (covered)

descubrir (discover, reveal) » descubierto (discovered, revealed)

decir (say) » dicho (said, spoken)

describir (describe) » descrito, descripto* (described)

desdecir (deny) » desdicho (denied)

deshacer (undo, unmake) » deshecho (undone, unmade)

elegir (choose, elect) » elegido, electo (chosen, elected)**

escribir (write) » escrito, escripto* (written)

hacer (do, make) » hecho (done, made)

morir (die) » muerto (dead)

poner (put, place) » puesto (put, placed)

redecir (retell) » redicho (retold)

rehacer (redo, remake) » rehecho (redone, remade)

resolver (resolve, figure out) » resuelto (resolved, figured out)

romper (break) » roto (broken)

satisfacer (satisfy) » satisfecho (satisfied)

ver (see) » visto (seen)

* - the forms escripto and descripto are used primarily in Rioplatense Spanish in Argentina and Uruguay. You don’t have to learn these forms unless you plan on using this dialect or you’ll be coming into contact with it a lot.

** - the form elegido is completely regular, the other form electo is not, however. This form is mainly used to mean “elected”, though, whereas “chosen” is more commonly said as the regular elegido.

It is important to note that the past participle is not the same as the past tense. The past participle cannot stand on its own, whereas a past tense verb can. To say “escrito” (written) without further context would be grammatically incorrect, however to say “escribí” (I wrote) without further context would be grammatically correct. The past participle always needs another word to help it out, and it cant stand on its own. To do so is sort of like just saying “written” as a sentence in English. It just doesn’t work, it leads to questions like “what was written? who wrote it? what are you even talking about?” Meanwhile you can totally say “I wrote” as a sentence in English and it makes total sense. It’s the same in Spanish.

🌸 Part II - The Present Perfect 🌙

The present perfect is used to talk about an action that has been finished at the time of speaking. It’s similar to the preterite in that it tends to describe actions which have been completed once. For example the sentences “I haven’t eaten today”, “have you made a decision?”, and “have you ever been to Spain?” would all use the present perfect in Spanish. The form is often equivalent to “have ___” in English.

To conjugate verbs in the present perfect you take the present tense form of haber and make it agree with the pronoun of the person(s) who has done the action:

Yo he = I have ___

Tú / vos has = You have ___

Él/ella ha = He/she has ___

Usted ha = You have ___ (formal)

Nosotros/nosotras hemos = We have ___

Vosotros/vosotros habeís = You all have ___ (informal, chiefely Castilian Spanish)

Ellos/ellas han = They have ___

Ustedes han = You all have ___ (formal in Castilian Spanish, normal form in Latin America where “vosotros“ is uncommon)

Once you have the present form of haber and you’ve properly conjugated it, add the past participle after it and you have a verb in the present perfect! Ex:

Tengo hambre, ya no he comido - I’m hungry, I haven’t eaten yet

¿Hoy has ido a la escuela? - Have you gone to school today?

Él nunca ha viajado a México - He’s never been to Mexico

Ella lo ha dícho a su mamá - She’s told her mom about it

¿Usted ha escrito el artículo? - Have you written the article?

Nosotros no hemos asistido a la iglesia - We haven’t been to the church

Nosotras todavía no lo hemos leído - We still haven’t read it

¿Vosotros habeís cocinado algo? - Have you guys cooked anything?

¿Vosotras no lo habeís visto? - Y’all haven’t seen it?

Ellos no han elegido nada - They haven’t chosen anything

Ellas no han cocinado nada - They haven’t cooked anything

Ustedes lo han leído el libro - You all have read the book

Some notes about the use of the present perfect:

In Riplatense Spanish the present perfect has been almost entirely replaced by the preterite. Thus in Rioplatense Spanish you’d be more likely to hear for example Viajé a Buenos Aires (I went to Buenos Aires) rather than He viajado a Buenos Aires (I’ve traveled to Buenos Aires.)

In Latin America as a whole, you’re far more likely to hear the preterite instead of the present perfect to describe actions in the recent past, whereas in Spain you’re more likely to hear the present perfect. So unlike in Latin America where one might say hoy comí una arepa muy rica (I ate a really great arepa today) in Spain you’re more likely to hear someone say hoy he comido una arepa muy rica (today I’ve eaten a reeally great arepa.)

If an direct or indirect pronoun is used alongside the present perfect, it will never cut between the conjugated haber and the past participle. For example, to say no he se lo dido would be incorrect, the correct way would be no se lo he dido (I haven’t given them it.) The direct and/or indirect object pronoun is placed before the conjugated haber, not after.

🌸 Part III - The Pluperfect 🌙

The pluperfect is used to talk about an action which was completed at the time the speaker is talking about. It’s like in English saying “I had eaten the banana” versus saying “I’ve eaten the banana.” You will often see this conjugation used alongside words like ya (already) or todavía (still, yet) since it will often describe an action which is already done by the time the speaker talks about it.

To conjugate verbs in the pluperfect you take the imperfect tense form of haber and make it agree with the pronoun of the person(s) who has done the action:

Yo había = I had ___

Tú / vos habías = You had ___

Él/ella había = He/she had ___

Usted había = You havd___ (formal)

Nosotros/nosotras habíamos = We had ___

Vosotros/vosotros habíais = You all had ___ (informal, chiefely Castilian Spanish)

Ellos/ellas habían = They had ___

Ustedes habían = You all had ___ (formal in Castilian Spanish, normal form in Latin America where “vosotros“ is uncommon.

Once you have the imperfect form of haber and you’ve properly conjugated it, add the past participle after it and you have a verb in the pluperfect! Ex:

Ya había comido cuando él venió - I had already eaten when they came

Tú/vos habías leído el libro antes de la clase - You’d read the book ahead of the class

Él había hablado con su mamá cuando yo llamé - He’d spoken with his mom when I called

Ella te había escrito un mensaje cuando tú/vos llamaste - She’d already written you a message when you called

¿Había usted tomado agua antes pasó? - Had you drank water before it happened?

Nosotros ya habíamos elegido algo cuando llegaste - We’d already chosen something when you arrived

Nosotras lo habíamos hecho cuando nos llamaste - We’d already done it when you called us

Vosotros ya habíais visto la película - You guys had already seen the movie

Vosotras habíais elegido una película cuando llegué - Y’all’d already chosen a movie when I came

Ellos todavía no lo habían visto - They still hadn’t seen it

Ellas ya habían comido cuando su mamá las preguntó - They’d already eaten when their mom asked them

Ustedes habían leído el libro - You all had read the book

A note about the usage of the pluperfect:

If an direct or indirect pronoun is used alongside the pluperfect, it will never cut between the conjugated haber and the past participle. For example, to say ya había se lo dido would be incorrect, the correct way would be ya se lo había dido (I’d already given them it.) The direct and/or indirect object pronoun is placed before the conjugated haber, not after.

Persona 5 vers headcanon: Palace

Keywords

Name: Hershel Bronev 

Place:Bostonius

What it is: Theater

In order to get into his palace, you would have to use his birth name Hershel Bronev which would be a hard task of itself. All of his records showed that his name has always been Desmond Sycamore and there is only about two people who knows his real name, those being Raymon and his father Leon Bronev. The only way you can possibly get his name is doing a lot of digging around about his childhood, possibly finding an article about a double kidnapping by the organization Targent that left two children as orphans. From there you have to find out that he gave his younger brother his birth name.  

Extremely hard but not impossible, involves a lot of digging around.

 His location is his airship, the Bostonius. His ship is not only basically his home but it's his base of operation. So its He views his location as a theater where is life will be played out. 

 Palace looks: his palace is a mix of a theater and an ancient ruins.  The place is decaying with crumbling stone and marble, Azran text and symbols line the walls as well. There are halls leading to different smaller theaters, lobbies, dressing rooms, behind stage, control booth, balconies, and boxes. The palace tends to lead downward and at the depts is the main theater hall. which is locked off and underwater. Some other parts of the palace have water as well but you can mess with the water levels to get through. You have to completely drain the water to get to the main theater.

There are 4 smaller theaters, each telling a crucial part of his life.

Theater A Act I: His childhood before Targent showed up. How close and happy his family was. How he idolized his father, loved his mother and brother.

Theater B Act II: How Targent bust into his family’s home one night and how his father tried to fight them off. His mother and father was both kidnapped leaving him and his little brother all alone. He soon threw himself into archaeological studies and soon a family wanted to adopt him. Not wanting to leave his little brother alone he gave him his birth name and let him get adopted instead, leaving him all alone.

Theater C Act III: Young adulthood/Adulthood. How he was already quickly becoming a big figure in the field of archeology at a young age. He soon met the love of his life and became a husband and a father. His dull life was finally looking up as he finally found true purpose again in his dark life.

Theater D Act IV: How he was kidnapped by Targent one night and was brought to their new leader, his father, Bronev. The man he used to look up too was no more as he became this horrible and demented person. He demanded that he should join Targent since he was an outstanding archeologist and he was his eldest son. He declined not wanting anything to do with the organization. He was let go but his father told him that he would regret the choice he made. After months of moving his family around Targent would soon break into his household, killing his wife and daughter, taking away the only light that he had.

The sound of orchestral music can be faintly heard throughout the palace as well.

Key Items:

Music sheets 1-5: All of them seem to be a part of one big song, but the markings on the back of it seem to be all a part of a big puzzle. Used to open the main theater hall

ancient tablets: Placing these in the right places can help with the water levels in some places

town map: Belongs to one of the many dressing rooms. It represents one of the many people he manipulated and toyed with. It seems it was a mayor. A suit that is made for a butler is also in the dressing room.

An opera record:  Belongs to one of the many dressing rooms. It represents one of the many people he manipulated and toyed with. It seems it was a music writer. A cape is also in the dressing room.

Mask: Belongs to one of the many dressing rooms. It represents one of the many people he manipulated and toyed with. It seems it was a lost soul. A simple dress is also in the dressing room.

Shadows:  The shadows that roam the palace seem to wear Venetian masks.. The take the form of security, actors, and a few wolf shadows.

Shadowself: His shadow is quite complicated.

He tends to act like Descole. He is cold, calculating, and manipulative. While he seems extremely arrogant, it’s just an act. Because unlike Descole he is much more open to how he really feels about himself and in a split second he will just be self-deprecating. He will admit that he knows what he is doing is wrong but he can’t help it. He will admit that he HATES himself for everything that he has done and not being able to protect his family, he will admit that he REALLY wants to die and he is just a husk of a person but he can’t die without finishing his plan.

He will often stop intruders with puzzles to try to slow them down or trap them. Getting them wrong will have consequences.

He will flee if you try to make him talk about his feelings or offer to help him. The idea of people wanting to be close to him or even want him scares him.

Basically this ^^^

He would dress in the same outfit that he wears as Descole but the difference is that there is a gaping hole in his chest, sometimes he will be seen without his mask as well, and if you look very closely above him you could swear that you see very thin puppet strings connecting to him.

Congntions: There are several congtions that are in the palace as well.

 A woman dressed in all white with black hair would often be seen wandering throughout the palace playing the violin. She would often try to help guide people through the palace. You give the music sheets to her.

A little girl with curly brown hair dressed in all white can often be found following the black-haired woman or running off on her own. She will often ask intruders to play with her and might help you out with some puzzles since she thinks they are fun. Extremely scared of her grandfather.

His father is a congtion as well. He would be one actively trying to stop intruders himself for getting in his way but also attacks Sycamore’s shadow as well. He would often berate him and blame all of the pain that he feels on himself, claiming that he should have been a better child and he should of just listen to him since children should always do what their parents say. Sycamore’s shadow would often try to fight the congtion of his father but would often lose to it seeing that he feels that he had never won against his father in reality.

A little boy holding a teddy bear that seems about 4-5 that can is found in the smaller theaters. Despite his age, he is extremely intelligent and seems to be disappointed and disgusted with Sycamore's actions.

 Sin: Wrath

 Treasure in the palace: An ancient relic. Its a statue of what seems to be a goddess holding a young girl. 

 Treasure outside of the palace: its an obituary of his wife and daughter. While his life has always been a tragic mess the murder of his wife and child was the thing to push him over the edge and what caused his heart to become distorted. His distortion came from his pain and despair.
