#wah she just got a new dad

[noxianwilled]

Her hair is still a little messy and matted, and he is no specialist, but Swain does his best to brush the long red locks with care, detangling them patiently and rubbing some specialty oil into her hair to help it heal, as he was advised at the shop when he had gone out to buy supplies his young guest would be needing in the near future.

Leftovers of dinner ordered for two, still sit on the table, and a forgotten movie on the tv is murmuring in the background.

Dark forest expanding behind the mansion seems to have caught the girl’s attention and Swain wonders what’s on her mind, sitting behind her in a velvet chair, while Katarina sits on the floor, cradling a mug of warm tea, while Swain does her hair for the night.

“There’s an old legend that a terrible demon lives in that forest.” Swain noted with a faint smile, thinking back on the memories of his childhood. “It scared a lot of my peers into returning home before dark, but yours truly was determined to find it.”

“I searched for it many times, unsuccessfully, of course, until one day I got lost and wandered the woods until nighttime, scaring my family and having a search launched after me. I was found, eventually, of course, unharmed but terrified.”

He chuckles at the thought of the memory, reminded of how bravely he had stepped into the forest and how undignified he had ended his little expedition, crying for his mother.

“I kept hearing wild animals and sounds of nature and jumping at every noise, thinking the demon must have be near-by. I even swore I saw a tall lanky figure appear and vanish in the darkness, resembling a scarecrow, but of course it was merely my imagination running wild out of fear.”

“My studies could be dull and lonely. I suppose a young mind craves excitement and adventure.”

He dries her hair off with a towel and gives the now silky red locks another brush, before being satisfied with the result.

“You are much braver than I. You survived many nights filled with terrors you had to withstand on your own. I can give you the tools necessary so you may never suffer fear, again.”

— @visionoxus

Katarina finds the quiet as comforting as it is unsettling.

The house isn't completely silent, though the movie in the background has long since become white noise. But here, in the middle of nowhere, there is a darkness city lights have yet to breach, a calmness undisturbed by incessant traffic or the chatter of a passerby.

The first night, she had taken note of the quickest escape route, the most easily reachable objects that may be used as weapons; he had not given her reason to distrust him, yet distrust she did. It was a comfort, to have a roof over her head, to have food and a warm bed, but she would not give anything for it. Were she willing to pay any price, she would have stayed in her gilded cage, to suffer mother's control and father's abuse, until he eventually left her dead rather than scarred, that is. But she didn't leave to submit to anyone else, and she is only tentatively trusting, despite everything Swain continues to do for her.

It's been some time, now. Not long, really, but enough she allows him to brush her hair, sitting on the floor with her knees pressed against her chest. The tea is barely sipped, though its warmth against her cold hands is comforting. There had been nights she would've killed for a little bit of warmth. There had been others she longed for nothing more than the care he now easily offers.

Her long hair would be rather cut short, she considers, at least for a time. It would be a nice change, too — it's just like his hair, a fact everyone always pointed out to her before, and Katarina wants to be nothing like Marcus anymore.

As her gaze wanders to the forest, it is him she thinks of. Her own personal monster, still haunting her dreams; she doesn't expect father would ever bother to know if she's alive, much less to look for her (glimpses at newspapers and TV news denounced mother, at least, seemed to pretend to care). And yet, in her nightmares, it is always him the monster, the one she can neither outrun nor defeat. She loathes the helplessness; the inability to fight back.

It made her fearless, in a way, reckless perhaps, but undaunted nonetheless. Katarina thinks whatever inhabits the sinister woods couldn't be scarier than the monster she had faced at home, than surviving on her own for what time she had been on the streets. The most important lesson, however, had been learned: fear was how they controlled her, the most powerful and dangerous tool Marcus Du Couteau had employed. It would never work again, she had promised herself the night she left; she would not fear them nor anyone, nor anything.

And so the tale does not frighten her, even as he speaks of the demon in the wood, even as she looks at the forest outside with newfound interest (at least a demon had reason to be terrible, she imagines; she can respect that more than a father). The girl snorts as Swain tells of his misadventure and how it ended, rarity that it has been for her to laugh, though she continues to be silent as the story comes to a close.

Katarina stretches her legs as he dries her hair, the cup of tea, now mostly empty, carefully set down on the floor beside her. And then he speaks again, about her, this time, and she turns to face him, uncertain where this is supposed to go. Emerald eyes light up at that offer, eager and fierce — and it is only the lingering mistrust that prevents her from saying yes, please, I would do anything to not have to be afraid again.

"You would?" is the question posed, skittish still. Fear is a powerful tool; to make her capable of facing it would be to relinquish a means to keep her under control (and men seem to ever want anything but). "Really?"

"I want to learn." I want to make sure the next time someone tries to hurt me, they'll be the ones afraid, instead.

"in my next life, I think I'll become a fool for my daughter"

"Lovie, can you stay with Minjee? I'm just going to the mall with Minjung to get new shoes and a few other stuff for the baby" you tell your husband who is currently on the sofa resting.

It's around that time again when you're counting down the days until the new baby comes, this time the two of you choose to keep the gender a surprise. You won't find out until you give birth. There's an on going bet in your household whether it'll be a girl or a boy.

"Why don't I come with him? You sure you okay to go out?" he asks, watching you struggle putting on your shoes. He chuckles before walking toward you, kneeling down to put it on for you even double tying the shoelaces just to be sure.

"It's okay, besides the doctor said it's healthy to walk around. And we both know it'll be easier to look after Minjung then Jee" you laugh, your husband agreeing with you

"She's the main character, we're all just living in her world" he says

You smile at Mark, giving him a kiss before getting your purse and keys.

"Call me if you need anything" he tells you

"Minjung, let's go" you shout, your son appears from the staircase ready to go

"You already know, buddy. Take care of mom, okay? Call me if something happens" he gives his son a quick hug before watching the two of you drive away

The two of you finished the errands and is now getting a quick snack before heading home. You like having one on one time with your kids. It helps you keep a closer relationship with them. And even though you know the two siblings get along very well, you still make it a point to spend time with them one by one. And so does Mark.

"Is there anything else you need, buddy?" you ask your son

He shakes his head, taking a bite of his sandwich. You smile watching him, it feels just like yesterday you were sitting in the backseat with newborn Minjung in the baby car seat on your way home from the hospital and now he's 13.

"How do you feel about getting another sibling?"

He looks at you, it's like looking at Mark's eyes. They same round, adorable chocolate eyes you love so much.

"Excited. It'll be cool if it's a boy. I'll teach him to play basketball and bike. It's okay too if it's a girl" he shrugs

"You know mommy and daddy loves you very very much"

"I know, I love you too" he smiles back at you

When you get home, Minjee welcomes you excitedly asking if you got her a cakepop which Minjung hands over to his sister

"Wah thank you, oppa! Dad look oppa got me a pink cakepop!" she screams excitedly, running to wherever Mark is. You and Minjung follow her, Mark in the kitchen getting dinner ready

"Cool, but you can have that after dinner okay? Na uh don't give me that look, missy. I ordered chicken just like you asked" the father-daughter banter continues

The two siblings help set up the table while you stay in the kitchen with Mark, "How did it go?" Mark asks you

"Good, we had fun. You sound like you had fun too" you joked

"I swear she knows how to make me says yes" he mumbles, you walk towards him, giving him a side hug

"You love her" you tell him with a chuckle and a kiss on the jaw

"That I do. I'd do anything for our kids" he says, looking down at you. He kisses you on the nose, eliciting giggles from you before breaking away

"Okay, dinner time!"

After dinner and everyone finished with their night time routines, it's finally time to call it a night.

You lay on your side of the bed, getting the pregnancy pillow ready

"Can I keep that after?" Mark asks, you watch him step out of the shower. Towel hanging on his hips while he dries his hair with another

"No" you tell him with a tight smile, Mark laughs before walking towards the dresser to get clothes

"Oh come on, let me enjoy the view some more"

"Woman, you are already pregnant" he tells you, playfully throwing the towel he was drying his hair with towards you. He puts on his sleeping shorts, leaving the shirt behind. He goes out the room to check all doors before going to bed

He turns towards you, the two of you face to face.

"Just a few more days and it'll be five of us" he whispers. His hand resting on your belly

"I'm calling it, this one will look like you again" you tell him

"You love us"

"That I do, I love you and all versions of you. Especially the little humans we made" you smile at him. He scoots closer to kiss you. Kissing you on the lips then on your cheeks a few time until you were laughing.

"Okay, time to rest. Goodnight, baby. I love you" he tells you

"Love you"

Minjung woke up to something poking his back, groggily looking to see Minjee

"Jee? What?"

The girl hiccups, still crying. This woke Minjung up more, sitting up on his bed and turning the bedside light on,

"Why are you crying? Did you have a bad dream?" he asks

"Will mom and dad not let me live here when the baby comes?" she asks, her tiny voice breaking

"What? of course not" her brother immediately answers. He gets out from under the blanket to hug his sister, wiping a few tears running down her face

"When you were born, I was so excited. Dad took me to the hospital to meet you. You had this big bow on, you were crying a lot too" he tells her

"You were there?" she asks

Minjung smiles "Yea, dad even helped me to carry you. You were really tiny. When the new baby comes, we'll go together to meet them"

"Will you still play with me when they come?"

"Of course I will, we're bestfriends right? You gave me this" he says, showing the beaded bracelet Minjee made for him. Similar to what she's wearing.

"You promise? You'll still get me cakepops?"

"Of course, pinkypromise"

The two siblings lock pinky fingers, the younger one finally smiling.

"Wait here okay?" Minjung says before going out of his room and carefull walking towards his parents bedroom. Knocking lightly before going in.

He walks towards Mark's sleeping figure, tapping him awake

"Huh what wha huh?? Minjung? Are you okay? What's happening?" Mark asks, sitting up immediately

"What time is it?" he asks, looking for his phone to see it's 2am

"Minjee woke up crying, she's in my room now"

Mark stands up carefully, looking over at your sleeping figure before quickly putting on a shirt and walking out with Minjung

"She okay? bad dream?"

"No uh it's about the new baby"

His son didn't need to elaborate anymore, already getting a hint why his babygirl was crying.

When the two walks back to Minjung's room, Jee still sitting there.

"Hey, Jee. Come on, dad will come with you. Goodnight buddy, thank you for being a good brother" Mark tells his eldest, kissing him on the head before stepping out of the room with the younger one

"Do you want warm milk before going back to bed?" Mark asks the 6 year old girl, getting a no from her

When they get to Minjee's room, the two sat on the bed

"Are you sad right now?" Mark asks his daughter

"Will you still love Jee when the baby comes?" Jee asks and Mark crumbles

"Oh my girl, of course I will. I'll love you longer than forever and that's a long long long time. You'll always be my princess. Even after the new baby comes, mom and dad might need to spend more time with them but that doesn't mean we love you and your brother any less" he tucks her hair behind her ear, pinching her cute round cheeks she definitely got from you.

"Can dad have a hug?" he opens his arms, Minjee scooting in her father's embrace

"Always remember, dad loves you so so much. I'd give you the moon and all the stars if you want. If you ever feel sad you can come and talk to me okay?"

He feels the younger one nod. Tucking her in bed, giving her a kiss on the forehead before calling it a night (again)

When he gets back to your room, he slides under the sheets then he feels you search for him

"Min?" you mumble

"Here, baby. Go to sleep" he leans over to give your temple a kiss. He sees a sleepy smile on your lips before your heads goes down on the pillow again.

Just like that everyone was asleep again, but before he fades into dreamland he says a silently thank you to heaven for this life. Ready and excited to face tomorrow with his family.

The Solar System Legacy Challenge: Emotions Gen 1 pt.93

CW: Crude Language, Mentions Death, Surgery Complications

Kason went to find the family and deliver the news. The abrasive hospital lights added to his already haunted expression. First, Mercury was still in surgery. She suffered from a head contusion, two broken ribs, and a broken arm. The fractured ribs turned into a bigger issue, puncturing her right lung, and causing it to collapse. The surgeon was forced to perform a pleurodesis. During the procedure, her heart stopped.

The surgeon managed to revive her, before mending the tear in her lung, now they were working to stop some internal bleeding, made worse during the resuscitation process. Subsequent to that information he told them about Paris's plan.

Though they were relieved to hear M was alive, they were equally devastated to hear how serious her injuries were and she wasn't out of the woods yet. That sadness was channeled into outrage towards Paris, their anger twofold due to her fictional rendition of events.

The triplets were still held in the Pediatrics unit with Spirit when Kason delivered the double-edged sword.

Earlier, Dr. Brawner; the triplet's pediatrician, confirmed that Venus sprained her wrist. After an examination and a brief conversation, Dr. Brawner bandaged Venus's wrist before informing Spirit and Peyton that she intended to keep all the kids longer. She wanted to monitor Venus's range of motion but also sent in a child psychiatrist to observe the triplet's behavior, specifically Venus.

As the adults waited for another update on Mercury, Beckett excused himself to locate Spirit and check on the triplets. The remaining party discussed ways to clear Kason's name in the event the police started to believe that Paris's tall tales held any merit.

Winter: M came to see us when you were on that business trip. She definitely showed me and Peyton your text about that bitches disgusting behavior.

Kiersten: I have plenty of videos and pictures from Rufus, showing Paris basically sexually harassing the entire office.

Winter: Let's not forget all the information that Takara gathered during M's lawsuit against the paparazzi.

Peyton: I still have all the text you sent me from the first week you started training her. They’re pretty specific and there is no way we fabricated them they're time and date-stamped.

Kason ignored them, once again overwhelmed by what he believed were his own shortcomings.

Kason: I'll take care of it, this is my fault I deserve whatever happens. If I’d pushed Greg harder to do something or called the police, M wouldn't be...None of you should have to deal with this. I failed, just like Detective Jerk-off said.

Peyton: Will you give it a rest! This is her fault and her fault alone! Unless you want to tell us that you tried to have M and the kids killed for money? Because if that's the case then, yes, you're on your fucking own! Otherwise, shut the hell up and let us help you!

Kason: Don't you ever say that shit to me again!

Winter: Peyton, calm down.

Peyton: No! I'm sick of his fucking pity party. Could he have done more, yes, but we all could have done more! We all knew! But, your family needs you now and all you can do is cry about how it's all your fault. Wah, wah, wah. Your kids are handling this better than you are and according to you they actually got to see what happened. Grow up, dude!

Winter: Peyton!

Kiersten: Guys...

Kason: Fuck you, Peyton.

Peyton: Thats my nieces, my nephew, and my best friend!

Winter: And those are his wife and kids!

Peyton: Then he needs to pull himself together! This is exactly what Paris wants. She hopes you'll fold and won’t be able to fight her allegations. Then all her little stories will start to look true, as you hide away waiting for someone to come looking for answers. Don't isolate yourself! When Dad died you did the same thing. You wouldn't let me be there for you then, but let us be here for you now!

Kiersten: I'm not sure what happened with your dad, but he's right Kason. This isn't your fault. Not this nor the fire. I'm sorry, I know I haven't been...I haven't... I shouldn’t have...I'm so sorry, but you must know, that none of us blame you for Paris's actions. So, please don't destroy yourself over this. It's not what M or Rufus would want for you.

Kason looked around at the group. Their faces mirrored his tumultuous emotions. Terror and indignation were at the forefront, but their eyes lacked the dejection he was sure shone from his own. Instead, their eyes held compassion, and patience, and just below that was a hint of caution.

Kason: [sigh] I'm sorry, I just.. I can't believe this is happening. But Peyt- you guys are right. I need to stop sulking and get it together and I do need your help.

Peyton: Ahhh! Like music to my ears. Say it again!

Winter: Really Peyton?

She bit back an involuntary smile.

Kiersten: How does he jump from angry mob to comedian like that?

She asked, bent over in a fit of giggles. Kason shook his head, but he had a small grin on his face.

Kason: Good grief. Is he really my brother?

Peyton's comment had provided some momentary relief from the otherwise tense situation. The group resumed the discussion more cohesively.

They broke down Paris's story into key components. First, Kason and Paris being "Official". They compiled a list of events that could dispute that claim. Next, they moved on to her claims that Kason wanted a divorce. Kiersten mentioned the article in Simblr Magazine about their "alleged divorce". Kason countered, pulling up M’s simstagram response to the magazine with the photos from their Spooky Day party.

Winter: The guest and the paparazzi can attest to the validity and authenticity of their relationship from that night alone. They were all over each other.

Kason: The guest sure, but the paparazzi are out for blood. After they lost the lawsuit for slander they've been following M around constantly. I don't think it's a coincidence they showed up at the supermarket and hospital so fast. No way they found out so quickly unless someone was already following us.

Winter: Or Paris tipped them off. She did give those pictures of you and Madison to them, I wouldn’t put it past her to want an audience for her little….performance.

Winter wrinkled her nose in disgust.

Peyton: I want to believe there isn't a sim alive who would have known this was going to happen, and didn't try and stop it, even if they are paparazzi looking for a story.

Kason: I wouldn't be so sure.

Peyton pushed the conversation along.

Peyton: let’s leave that miserable scenario right where it is. What about the reports you made at work and the fire? Those reports have to be on file and your boss fired her because he thinks she was the cause of the fire. That has to be useful for something.

Kason: He actually agreed to release her because she attacked a new IT team member in the break room. The fire started while I was wrapping up the conversation about terminating her.

Winter: Have you spoken to him? What are his thoughts on the fire?

Kason: I have. He’s almost as convinced as I am that she started the fire, but he won’t do anything until we have that camera footage. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t want more bad blood between himself and Mr.Amyot, which is why he isn’t handling this more aggressively.

Kiersten’s soft voice cut in.

Kiersten: Can we just wait for M and the kids, please? I-I can’t talk about this anymore.

The silence that followed her plea was deafening. Just three days earlier her husband had been in that exact fire. Today, he was two floors above them, recovering in one of Brindelton General's many hospital beds.

Kason: Sure Kiersten. Sorry.

Peyton and Winter took that as their queue to end the conversation. Kason and Kiersten took a seat on the bench, while Peyton and Winter took up a position a short distance away, comforting each other quietly. Kiersten shivered from the fridge hospital air, she stared at the floor with sad eyes.

Kiersten: Stop apologizing. It's just…hard talking about people you care about being hurt, and for what; because of one person's jealousy? We shouldn't need to have this conversation. It’s just all wrong.

Kason: Believe me, I know what you're feeling. Rufus has quickly become one of my best friends. I hate that I couldn't do more for him.

Kiersten: When I said people I care about, that includes you. I know I haven't behaved like a good friend lately and it would be easy to blame it on hormones, but that wouldn’t be unfair. I was upset, confused, and scared and took it out on you. I'm sorry, you didn't deserve that. You are Rufus's best friend. You and M have become very dear to me and the kids. I would never want to lose that kind of friendship.

Kason: Now look who’s apologizing too much? Honestly, I'm just glad you don't hate me. It's one burden lifted, a heavy one mind you. We'll get through this together Kiersten. I promise Paris won’t win and we won’t let her take anything more from us.

Kiersten reached over and placed her hand over Kason's, she looked over at him and smiled.

Kiersten: I trust you.

The moment was interrupted when they heard Mercurys' name being called.

Doctor: Family of Mercury Gratz?

Everyone scrambled forward, tripping over themselves and each other to reach the approaching gentlemen. The doctor stumbled back in surprise, smiling warmly at the concerned faces that stared back at him.

Doctor: I'm pleased to share, that Mercury did very well. They are getting her cleaned up and moved into a private recovery room. I do want to inform you, that we are keeping her in a medically induced coma to reduce the risk of her rebreaking her ribs or tearing the repaired lung. She is suffering from a concussion but her brain activity is normal. The surgeon was able to relieve the slight pressure from the blow to her head. We anticipate she'll make a full recovery.

Their relief was audible as they released the breath they'd been simultaneously holding, while smiles broke out across their faces.

Kason: Thank you, doctor.

Winter: Will we be able to see her tonight?

Doctor: Yes. As soon as she is set up in her recovery room, you may visit with her.

Winter's wings flapped involuntarily giving away her excitement. The Doctor smiled at the small gesture.

Doctor: I can see you’re all eager. Let me see what I can do to expedite the process. Excuse me.

The moment he was gone Kason broke down into a sob. Peyton, Winter, and Kiersten surrounded him. Their own eyes filled with unshed tears.

Peyton: She's going to be okay. They're all going to be okay.

Winter: It's okay Kason. Your okay.

Kiersten:

Through his sobs only a single letter was coherent, He repeated it again and again.

Kason: M….M

No one said another word. They stood silently, surrounding him as he cried, trying to shed some of the guilt, fear, and sorrow he’d managed to build up in the past 5 hours. When his sobs quieted to mere sniffles and shoulder shakes, Kiersten handed him a handkerchief. He excused himself to find a men’s room and get cleaned up.

20 minutes later the doctor returned, and his news was only second best to him announcing Mercury had survived.

Doctor: Room 265. She is all yours family.

As the doctor excused himself, the group looked at each other, their excitement peeled away to expose the nerves. Aside from Kason, none of them knew what to expect. For a while no one spoke, so Kason took charge.

Kason: I’m going to check in with the kids and let Spirit and Beckett know M’s out of surgery and what room. Who wanted to see her first or do you all want to go together?

Kiersten took a step back, shaking her head.

Kiersten: I’m sorry, I’m not ready to see her like this yet. I should get home to the boys.

Kason: I understand. Do you want company? I have to take the triplets home at some point.

She declined again.

Kiersten: Thank you, but I just need some time alone. Besides, you should be here.

Kason: Thank you for being here Kiersten. It means a lot to M and it means a lot to me. I’ll call you a cab. Text us when you’re home.

Kason called Kiersten a ride and walked her down to ensure she was okay. Once she was gone he went to find Spirit and the kids. Meanwhile, Winter and Peyton decided to visit with M separately. Winter entered, quickly realizing she couldn't handle being in the room alone, and called for Peyton who was waiting in the hall. He joined her, shocked by the sight of M, but he did his best to hide his discomfort for Winter’s sake. She and Winter were like sisters but Peyton and M had quickly become bestfriends early in her tenancy in San Myshuno. When they couldn't bear to see her like that any longer they exited in a hurry and Spirit somberly took their place.

She quietly took out a copy of "Court of the Slumbering Fae" as she gazed at her daughter. She took a seat on the blue loveseat and began reading. When she finished the first chapter, she earmarked the page and closed the book placing it on the sofa.

Spirit: I will be back soon little planet.

She whispered as she headed for the door. She stole one last glance before stepping out into the hall. Kason was there, helping the triplets put on their outerwear.

Kason: Put your earmuffs on Dite, it's cold out.

Spirit: Everything okay out here?

Kason walked over leaving the kids to finish dressing and talking amongst themselves. Kason sighed, exhausted from the day.

Kason: They want to see her, but I think they should wait till tomorrow. It's late and they've been through so much. They need to eat, bathe, and get some rest. I can bring them back in the morning to see her.

Spirit: That makes sense, but I will take them home. You need to be here with M. Have you seen Beckett?

Kason: He left right after they discharged the triplets. He said he would come back and see M tomorrow.

Spirit nodded in understanding.

Spirit: Shooting star incoming.

She tried to warn him, but before Kason could turn he heard Ishtar's voice

Ishtar: Dad, are we going to see Mommy tonight?

Kason looked at Spirit for help but she just smiled and raised her eyebrows.

Kason: Not tonight buddy. Nana is going to take you guys home so you can have a nice hot meal, a warm bath, and sleep in your bed.

Ishtar: Okay, but you have to stay here with Mommy so she's not all alone.

Kason kissed Ishtar's cheek.

Kason: Of course I will. I won't leave her side for a minute. Not even to potty.

Ishtar laughed, as Kason called the girls over to tell them they were going home. Spirit waited patiently as he said his goodbyes. Kason did his best to seem in high spirits. It seemed to work for Ishtar and Aphrodite who joined in Kasons antics, but Venus remained docile. He gave the girls hugs before the car arrived. Just before Spirit left she stopped to hug Kason.

Spirit: You did well Hilang Bulan. Jorden would be proud of you. Our solar system is still whole. Do us all a favor and try and get a little rest tonight.

Kason smiled at the high praise. He hadn't heard that name since M was pregnant with Zohreh. He hugged her a little tighter, moved by her words.

Kason: Thank you Spirit. I will.

He walked them out, then returned to M's room alone.

Kason: Hello gorgeous. Even after all that you are still the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.

He removed his coat and set it down on the chair. He picked up the book Spirit had left behind. He sat in the chair nearest M and opened the marked page.

Kason: Let's see where you left off.

He began reading from chapter two. He read until he felt the book slipping from his hands. Instead of pulling out the fancy Murphy bed, Kason curled up on the sofa and watched M until he fell asleep.

(Project SEKAI) Shiraishi An BloomFes Story - Irreplaceable People

Wooooo!! I got both Bloomfes done let's gooo!! Like the Haruka bloomfes story, I recommend watching the story with visuals too if you have the card.

Translation under the cut.

Story 1

[Street SEKAI] 

[The Plaza]

An: Miku, Rin-chan, sorry for the wait–!

Miku: Hey, An! There’s no need to rush. 

An: Nah. I promised to do practice here so I’m not the one who should be running late, ya know? 

Rin: Atta girl, An-chan! So unlike Kaito! 

Rin: Though it's kinda rare for you to come over a little late. 

An: Well, before coming here, I took a detour to WEEKEND GARAGE. 

An: And the peeps from the street wouldn't let me go, saying they'd

An: We're about to take a long trip to America, sure, but it's not like I’m never coming back or anything. 

00:00:48,055→00:00:50,551

Miku: Well it goes to show how much these people love you. 

An; Hehe, I guess~ 

An: … But man, America, huh? 

Rin: Ain’t it so exciting? Will you go around to see a bunch of stuff? 

An: Hmm…since we're going all the way there, I wanna see and experience a lotta new things–

An: …Ah

Miku: Hm?…What's up? 

An: Ah, well…

An: Come to think of it, I remember thinking about how Nagi was supposed to be in America. 

An: I wonder if it’s because Uncle Taiga was going there or were there places she wanted to go to?

Miku: Well, if you can’t know that on your own, then there’s no other source but asking your dad and some other people close to her, right? 

An: Right! After practice, I'll call dad and– 

An: …Eh? Did something just flash from the end of that alleyway? 

Rin: I saw it too! Looked like a light from a Fragment! 

Miku: …Let's check it out.

An: Found it! Could the light earlier be from that glass shard-looking thing? 

Miku: It seems like a Fragment but…

Rin: It’s kinda weird, isn’t it? Looks like it was shattered. 

Rin: Also, Miku and I haven't noticed it at all before. When did it get here? 

An: Well whatever it is, leaving it like that is kinda sad. Those might be feelings precious to someone else. I gotta pick it up. 

00:02:49,001→00:02:50,750

Miku: Ah, Wait–!

An: Eh? 

An: Wah– W-wh-what's going on!?

[???] 

An: …Gosh, I forgot. 

An: Touching that thing would put us into some SEKAI from those feelings. 

Rin: That's right. We'll be able to go back in a bit and I don't think there's any danger here but…

Miku: So much for practice, huh? 

An: Ahaha… Sorry 'bout that! 

An: Although…

An: …This is a really quiet place, huh? 

Miku: It certainly is. Though there's a place that looks like a stage, a DJ booth with speakers, various sound equipment…

Rin: –Ah! An-chan, lookie! Look over here! 

Rin: See! There's a picture of little An-chan spinning a turntable around. 

An: You're right! Was this a photo? I think we have a similar picture from our family album. 

Miku: …Photos, huh? There's a couple more over here. 

An: Ah, That's a pic of me, Kohane and our friends when we went to Phennyland! Haruka took this pic I’m sure of that! 

An: Oh, this one's taken by Kohane from when we went camping! 

Miku: Seems like there's a mix of pictures from when you were little to fairly recent events. That one over there looks like another one of those pics of little An. 

An: Yeah! That was when there was a shrine festival near Vivid Street! I was scooping up goldfish together with the street locals! 

An: Oh, and in this one pic where I'm eating sweets, Uncle Taiga brought a lot of Dagashi with him…

An: …huh? 

An: …That's odd…

Rin: Yeah! this sure is a rare SEKAI and to have this many pictures of yourself in one place too!

An: True, but…

An: The turntable photo, the photo of me scooping up goldfish and the photo of me eating Dagashi—

An: Why is there no one else in those pictures but me? 

An: The people from the street and Nagi-san should've been together with me in those photos. So why…?

Miku & Rin: Eh? 

???: That's because I don’t need them! 

An: W-who…!? 

An: What, no way…

Rin: It's little An from those pictures! 

An: What did you mean by "I don’t need them"?

Other An: I don’t need them so I said so. 

Other An: Because everyone lied…

Other An: And even Nagi-san abandoned me. 

An: …!

Other An: …Hey, forget about all of those selfish guys! Eeevery single one of them! 

Other An: If you do that, then you'd feel a lot better—

Rin: Wah! An-chan…!

Miku: An!

Rin: Ah…! An-chan, thank go–

Miku: Rin, wait. Something's wrong…

Rin: W-where are you going!? An-cha–

???: Ahhh!!!

Rin: Wah! 

An: Wowwowwow!! You're Kagamine Rin-chan, right? 

An: And that girl over there is Hatsune Miku-chan!?

Miku: Uh, yeah… An, what happe—

An: Nice to meet 'ya! I'm Shiraishi An! 

Miku: ... .No way, did she just forget about us? 

Rin: Whhhhaaaaaat—---!?

Story 2

[???] 

An: I'm sooo happy! I get to meet Virtual Singers, Miku-chan and Rin-chan! 

An: Hey hey, let's talk about more stuff! 

Rin: R-right! I'm thinking of something to talk about so An-chan go think of something too! 

An: Okay! Ehehe, what we talk about…!

Rin: (Hey, Miku! What should we do!? An-chan became little An-chan and she doesn't remember us!?)

Miku: (... This is just my conjecture but the owner of this SEKAI is likely An herself)

Miku: (So I think she's impacted by the very thoughts that shape this SEKAI.) 

Rin: (I get that but…why would An-chan's feelings be to mess with, well, herself?)

Miku: (...Anyways, let's try and talk to An)

Miku: (No matter how many feelings-born An clones there are, they can't completely manipulate her memories. If we keep talking to her, her memories might come back.)

Miku: —Sorry for keeping you waiting. We wanna get to know you, An. So may we ask you all sorts of stuff?

An: It's cool! Ask me anything! 

Miku: So first, can you tell me what are some things you like? 

An: I love singing! My dad teaches me all sorts of stuff! 

An: My dad's a super awesome singer! He formed a group with his friends—

An: Huh? Who were they…? I know he told me the name of his team…

*-brief flashback from earlier-*

An: Why is there no one else in those pictures but me? 

An: The people from the street and Nagi-san should've been together with me in those photos. So why…?

*-End of flashback-*

Miku: …so, can you tell me about your team, An? 

An: My…team…

An: Ah, Right right! We're called Vivid Bad Squad!

An: Kohane, Akito and Touya! The four of us together will make an event that surpasses RAD WEEKEND! 

Miku: …Like I thought, her memories aren't completely gone. 

Rin: An-chan! This RAD WEEKEND, I wanna know more! What kind of event was it? 

An: Okay! Well…

*-Brief flashbacks of COL*-

An: …Ah, what? 

An: Even though I saw a lot of close friends there, I can't remember. 

An: Uhm, in that event, my dad appeared—

*-Another brief flashback to COL-*

An: Huh…

An: I can't remember dad's face…

An: Why…

*-An tries to remember but can't-*

An: Why…?

An: That memory was so…so dear to me… I can't remember at all…

An: What happened to me…

Rin: An-chan…

Miku: …An, do you want to take back those memories? 

An: …Yes! It's so important to me! 

Miku: …Even if that memory can make you sad now? 

An: What…?

Rin: Miku, putting it that way is…

Miku: It's the truth.

Miku: Earlier I said her memories can't be manipulated with but since they can be interfered like this means—

Miku: At the very least, somewhere deep inside An would want for this to happen. 

Rin: Ah…

Rin: It's like what the other An said earlier…

*-Brief flashback from earlier-* 

Other An: Because everyone lied…

Other An: And even Nagi-san abandoned me. 

Miku: …That's a part of An's feelings deep down. 

Miku: …An, what do you want to do? It's good for you to decide for yourself. 

An: I…

An: (...What should I do?)

An: (Even though I know that memory means so much to me.)

An (... I'm scared…)

An: (I want to remember but I also…don't…!) 

An: …I don't know!

An: I don't know what to do!! 

Rin: …

*-Rin hugs An-*

An: Eh…

An: Rin-chan…?

Rin: …That time, even when I was there, I couldn't do anything. 

(*TL NOTE: Pretty sure she's referring to Light Up the Fire.)

Rin: This time, I'll stand by you…! I won't let you be alone! 

An: …! 

An: (That's right, I…)

*-Flashback in Vivid street/weekend garage-*

Ken: Because of that, you…

Ken: You'll go beyond.. To the place where Nagi couldn't reach, her dream. 

Ken: Together. With the friends you have here. 

*-End of Flashback-*

An: I…

An: We'll…! 

*-Brief flashback to COL during Rad Blast*-

An: …! 

An: –I won't forget

An: Nagi-san, Uncle Taiga, the people of Vivid Street…!

An: I made a promise…! I'll carry Nagi-san and everyone's wishes on my shoulders!

An: And I'll…

An: And I'll take them with me!!

An: To beyond Nagi-san's dream…!! 

*-An returns to normal-*

An: Ah…

Rin: An-chan…! 

An: Rin-chan…

An: Thanks. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't remember that precious memory. 

An: Thank you too, Miku. I'm okay now. 

Miku: Say, you're watching right now somewhere, aren’t you? 

-*Other An appears*-

An: …Sorry, I ended up remembering after all. 

Other An: Why are you apologizing? 

An: …I did think if I forgotten all of it, things would be so much easier–

Other An: And just like that, you just forgave them that easily, huh? 

Other An: Everyone that hid the truth from us: Dad, the town folk, Nagi-san…

An: …It wasn't that simple

An: I cried so much, I got so angry, I felt so resentful. 

An: But, you know, I really love dad and the people of Vivid Street—

An: And no matter how much I cry and yell, it won't bring Nagi-san back. 

An: But Nagi-san's wishes–her dream, I want to take them together with me. 

Other An: …I see. So I guess you don’t need me anymore, right? 

An: No. I don't see it that way. 

An: I want to keep my memory of everything. What I felt at that time; the despair that made me want to forget, the frustration, everything. 

An: If I forget it all, I feel like Nagi-san will move further away from me. 

An: That's why, I'll keep aaaall these memories until I die. Someday in heaven, I'll see Nagi-san and tell her: 

An: "How could you do that to me!" Hehe! 

Other An: …That sounds nice! Hehe.

-*They return back to the Street SEKAI*-

An: …Phew–! We got back–!

An: Miku, Rin-chan, thanks so much. If you two weren't there, I might have lost it. 

Rin: *cries* Yeah! From now on, let's not pick up random fallen objects all willy-nilly. 

An: Yeah yeahhhh

Miku: …So what do we do? We planned on practicing but should we skip today and chill out at Meiko's? 

An: Mmmh, if it's alright with you two, I'd like to practice. I didn’t argue with myself just for me to not give it my all. 

Miku: Okay–! I'll keep you company! 

An: Thanks! 

An: Now, let's sing!

Peach's Revenge

{Mario decides to be annoying during a meeting, so Peach decides to teach him a lesson..}

This meeting was boring as fuck. Mario looked on out the arched window of Peach’s meeting office as the toads discussed their new plans to build up their army and attacks against Bowser. He knew he should be listening since he was the kingdom’s hero who often fought the turtle they were against, but Mario just couldn’t care less right now. All he wanted to do was be with his princess.

Well, Peach was there, sitting right beside him, but she was duly focused on the plans and taking notes. Mario looked over at her, her focus not breaking to look back. He decided to cause some trouble.

He snuck his hand under the arm of his chair, and poked Peach’s side. She jumped, and gave him a glare. Not much of a mean one, more of a “I fucking dare you” smirky kinda one.

He did it again. Peach barely reacted this time, clearly trying to ignore him. He poked her rib cage eliciting a squeak from her. He quickly folded his arms, and looked away as if he had no idea what was happening.

“Princess, are you okay?” Toad asked.

“Yes, Toad, carry on.”

She looked over at Mario again and he looked back at her. He couldn’t help his little grin.

She just pursed her lips, feigning annoyance.

A few more minutes passed, and the meeting was finally starting to close out. But Mario wasn’t done. While Peach stood up ready to close the meeting, Mario, sitting with his legs in his chair reached his hand up, and latched it around her hip, squeezing it. She covered her mouth as she squealed, and batted his hand away. Mario couldn’t hold back his laughter anymore, clapping and giggling like a child that accomplished something.

The toads surprisingly weren’t annoyed by this, except for Toadsworth. They all just laughed at what they witnessed, making Peach double embarrassed.

“Uhuhum.. w-we will discuss further plans later, but thank you all for coming in, you are all dismissed,” she stuttered.

The toads shuffled out all chattering and giggling at what had happened. Mario got up from his seat as Peach pushed in hers. He was ready to walk by her, but she blocked him.

“Have fun back there, big guy?” She asked folding her arms.

“Hmm kinda yeah,” Mario smiled.

“Good! Then you won’t mind me getting you back right?” Peach smiled back, though her smile was more scarily sweet than his.

He knew that smile.

Mario blushed, “o-oh, right about that-“

He turned the other way and ran around the table and out the door before she could catch him.

She didn’t take off long after, though.

The pair ran through the halls of the castle, both of them jumping around the staircases and base beams like a training course. The toads watched on in amusement. Toadsworth tried to slow his majesty down, but she wasn’t stopping for anyone. Mario wanted a chase? He was going to get one.

"Sorry dad cant stop now!" she yelled back.

Meanwhile, Mario ran down the bedroom halls, and towards Peach's room. His adrenaline was high, knowing she was probably right behind him. He swung open her bedroom door, and shut it behind him. About ten seconds later, a hand gripped the door knob on the other side, but Mario was holding it from inside.

“Open the door!” Peach giggled.

“Hm.. nah. What’s the password?” Mario teased.

“I’m gonna get you so bad!” 

“Sorry but that’s incorrec- WAH-“

Mario let go of the door knob as it swung open. Peach is always stronger than he remembers.

He got back on his feet, and ran to the other side of the bed, crouching behind it.

Peach rushed inside, ready to tackle her boyfriend, but he was nowhere. She grinned knowing he was hiding somewhere. She looked in her wardrobe, and scanned her bathroom, but nothing. Then her bedsheet moved. It was pulled a little to the side. 

She stalked over to her own bed. That’s when she saw his hat peeking above his hiding spot. She made her way over to that side of the bed slowly.

Mario suddenly hated this hiding spot, he couldn’t see where she was at all. He tried to peek over her bed, but once he made a move, she made a move. Quickly rushing him, Peach ran up, and tackled him onto her bed. Mario yelped when she caught him, then found himself laid on his stomach on the bed trying to desperately crawl away. She crawled up on after him, her fingers targeting his sides. He held back his laughter as he grabbed a pillow and threw it in her face. This did not deter her at all. She pounced on him, rolling him over and sitting on his hips. 

With all this goofiness and rough housing, Mario couldn’t help shrieking when Peach’s hands found their way to his ribs again.

“WAIT P-PEHEHEACH!!” he shouted.

“Wait for what?! You’re getting exactly what you deserve, giggle bug! Tickle tickle tickle!~” she teased back.

Mario threw his head back, laughing loudly, and covering his red face from the tease.

It didn’t take long for her to get bored of the ribs and wanted to go somewhere else. She booped his stomach with her finger, and skittered her nails across it. Mario’s laughter calmed down a bit due to him still wearing his overalls. It still tickled, but not as horrible as it would if his belly was exposed.

Unlucky for him, Peach wasn’t gonna go easy on him.

She reached up, and unbuttoned his overalls.

“N-NO DON’T YOU DARE!” he protested.

He reached his arm out and tickled her hip in retaliation. She started giggling, but it didn’t stop her. She quickly undid the other strap, and pushed his overalls down below his stomach, then lifted his red shirt up over it.

He grabbed her hands in a last ditch effort to stop her.

“Aw you really don’t know what I’m about to do? How cute,” Peach said.

She quickly took a breath, and bent down, blowing a huge raspberry right on his bellybutton. Mario snorted and let out high pitched cackles. He let go of her hands as well in favor of trying to push on her head, but the sudden raspberry left him weakened and his fight or flight response completely shattered.

“Already giving up, huh?” Peach giggled when his arms dropped to his side.

Mario shook his head frantically, “N-NO! You’ll never break me-EEEK NO-WHAHAHAHA!!”

Peach skittered her fingers up his belly and back down again.

“Oh won’t I, mister annoying poker? You poke me during a meeting, this is your punishment. Only seems fair, right? I think so! Plus I think you like this anyway so who am I to deny a cutie of his tickle tickles!~” Peach teased, her voice going higher pitched at the end.

Mario twisted his body trying to escape, while shaking his head at the accusation, but the tickling was just too draining. Especially when she scratched under his bellybutton then blew another raspberry on it. He absolutely screamed, then went silent. A huge smile plastered on his red face.

Peach stopped to let him breathe. 

“Hoo..ho.. you’re s-so mehehean, principessa…” Mario giggled breathlessly.

“I wouldn’t be calling me names if I were you..~”

“Ohoh yeah, blondie?” Mario snarked.

“Oh you are asking for me to just,” her thumbs poised on his hips, “DESTROY YOU, aren’t you!?”

She began squeezing his hips and digging into them. Mario lifted up and arched his back, his voice reaching new octaves with cackling. His hands gripped hers like a lifeline as he simply laughed his head off. 

“YAHAHAHAHA OH GOHOHOSH! PLEHEHEASE IT T-TICKLES SO BAHAHAHAD!!”

“Of course it does, silly! It’s what I’m trying to do! Kitchy kitchy coo! Aww your laugh is so adorable, I could just listen to it all day!!”

Good god she was good with her teases. Of course the tickling really.. well tickled, but her teasing was always what absolutely killed him.

Peach’s fingers switched and skittered up his sides, pinching his ribs until they reached the top of his rib cage. His arms squeezed down on her hands, but again, he always forgets her strength. She pulled her hand out, and grabbed his wrist shoving his arm up above him. He squeezed his eyes shut, bracing himself for the feeling of her nails in his armpit, but nothing happened.

Until she suddenly snuck her hand up his shirt, and tickled his bare armpit.

“AAAAA YOU- GAAAAHHAHAHAH PEHEHEHEHEACH!!”

“Hm? What is that? Sounded like you were about to insult me?” she got closer to his face, “hm? Sorry I couldn’t hear you were you insulting me, cutie?”

Mario turned away wanting to cover his ears from these deadly teases.

“M-MAYBEHEHEHAHAHA!”

Peach laughed at this. Of course he has to be as stubborn as possible no matter what situation.

“You know, Mario, your stubbornness and snarkyness is gonna get you in some real trouble one day. Today, it’s gonna get you into even more tickly trouble! I think you need to learn a lesson,” she said as she stopped tickling his armpit and ribs.

“Nohohoho I dohohon’t..” Mario protested through giggles.

Peach ignored him, and turned around, grabbing his leg.

“NO!” Mario shouted, pulling his legs towards him.

Peach giggled, “I’ll go easy, I promise.”

“No you wohohon’t, I know you’re cruhuhuel..” Mario couldn’t help letting out the anticipation giggles that were bubbling up in his tummy.

“I can be cruel, if you deserve it.. I wonder if you do? You did tickle me in front of my greatest toads and embarrass me.. hmm..”

“Just fucking get it over wihihith!” Mario snorted.

“Well if you wanna use that language with me, then sure! Don’t worry, I’ll arrange your funeral,” she teased.

She locked his legs in her arm and scratched at his socked feet. Mario absolutely lost it. 

He covered his face as he snorted and cackled up a storm. He was absolutely not still, his legs kicked in her hold desperately trying to break out.

“P-PEACH- PLEASE NOHOHOHO NOT THERE AAAHAHAHA PEACHYHEHEHEHEHE- PLEASE- O-OKAHAHAY-!” Mario was wheezing and hiccuping at this point.

Peach scratched his toes, then let him go. He laid there limp, and a complete mess with a huge toothy smile on his face.

“Did I go too hard?” Peach asked crawling up to his face.

“Nohoho.. you’re good, don’t think I won’t get my revenge, though,” Mario threatened through gulps of air.

“Ohhh no that’s not how this works! You tickled and embarrassed me, so this was your punishment, no tickle backs,” Peach folded her arms with a smirk.

Mario sat up, “huh.. hoo.. oh yeah? I don’t remember that being in the contract.”

“What contract?”

“Exactly,” he raised his hands wiggling his fingers at her.

Peach tackled him in defense.

He screeched as her hands reached his ribs again, but he was still able to poke and tickle her sides. 

So, an all out tickle fight ensued, and the laughter from both of them didn’t stop for about an hour.

[duckapus]

Not sure how coherent this is going to be because it's more a string of ideas than a full plot/timeline and I've omitted some things that are spoilers for part of a storyline way later, but here's some of the explanation for Wareach showing up on the Wario Bros front step.

So as you may recall from way back during Classic SMG4 in the first Wacky Wario Bros episode, Wario and Waluigi are originally from the Wah Kingdom, with Wario getting lost at sea and losing his memories as a toddler and Waluigi getting banished due to Ludicrous Amounts of Crime as an adult.

Now, growing up without his brother was hard for Waluigi, not least because... well... let's just say that he got kicked out onto the street at 16 and that's in the top 5 best things their birth parents ever did for him (He's faced so much rejection in his life that it's literally turned into a superpower, I figured it had to starts somewhere). As you might expect, he was not the first to get the hell away from that shithole of a family, voluntarily or not. Namely, their dad had a younger sister who ran away from home before they were born that Waluigi only know about because he occasionally overheard the adults bitching about her.

Said sister is presumably Wareach's mom. Neither she nor the Wario Bros know for sure because her mom very understandably did not talk about her blood relatives at all and Waluigi very understandably has had no contact with them since getting banished or her ever. Wareach only figured out the possible connection thanks to finding some things from the Wah Kingdom in her mom's stuff and the obvious family resemblance. (The Bros note but don't call out the fact that she only ever refers to her mother in past tense and never mentions a father at all).

Anyway, she decided to try following the lead (she's a bit cagey about exactly why she's following it now specifically, or why a teenager came all the way to an entirely new city with no return plans alone on nothing but an educated guess), and now she's here.

The Bros obviously aren't gonna turn away a kid who clearly has nowhere else to go, whether she has a high probability of being family or not, so they at least agree to let her stay the night and then they'll figure things out for sure in the morning.

[katz-cradle]

go off abt the silly little next gen knights 👁️ is there anything new with pegasus other than what you told me :0?

Wah hehehe yes yes I can tell u more stuffs about Pegasus Knight!!

[Also no I will not explain what I've told Conner *blows u up*]

I do have a few thingys with her specifically, so I'll only talk bout her in this :3

My main little importants with her would probably be how she met Remedy Knight, the two of them have been friends since they were little despite their parents not really liking each other

One day King brought a 5yr Pegasus along with him while doing some shopping, Pegasus was born like any normal 5yr shopping with their parent but she noticed another little kid with their dad so she snuck away to go say hello.

Remedy at the time being probably 4 or so didn't have any friends themself, they rarely left the house and was mostly home schooled so most interactions came from those who worked with their parents, Pegasus was the first person to kinda take them outta their shell (barely but still).

The two of them got along very quickly, Pegasus deciding to follow Remedy around talking to them as they went around the market barely processing that she kinda just ran away from her dad.

Thankfully, Plague noticed Pegasus before he ended up kidnapping her on accident and returned her to a very very distraught King Knight who was very happy to learn she was safe. And Pegasus and Remedy have been friends since then!

The other main relationship would probably be with Selkie Knight who is her other close friend, who also happens to be her crush girlfriend thing (their romance is interesting) but I plan on maybe doing a small fic thingy with them! But the basics are they met as little kids while their dads were exploring the same place and then again when they were older.

But here's a few other fun lil facts about Pegasus;

She has a pet sphynx cat named Primrose, she is a very spoiled lil cat

She happens to be somewhat allergic to shellfish (funnily enough, her dad Propeller Knight happens to be a pescatarian)

Her helmet works akin to Hermes talaria shoes, magically giving her to ability to fly unless they're wet then they stop working until dried

Her favorite thing to do in her free time is baking, plus she's got a pretty big sweet tooth (her favorite sweet is carrot cake!)

She is unreasonable flexible and bendy, like she's a pretty good contortionist,,, probably hides in kitchen cabinets when in trouble

But uh yeah that's it really ^w^ hope it's good, enjoy

MONKIE KID S2E1 Sleep Bug (Live rewatch blog)

Well, I managed to watch the whole hour of S2E0, the Revenge of the Spider Queen episode during the wedding reception. My thoughts on the rewatch are RS and DBK cooking stand is cute and strangely wholesome. I can see chimerashipping and dragonfruit. Wukong and DBK's interaction, sad no PIF tho. Gotta say, Love how DBK defended PIF saying she ain't weak! MK finally getting some self-worth and self-esteem is satisfying to watch.

Now, the only thing I remember about the sleep bug episode is the fact of a virus that makes people sleep and MK's name is long?

No new intro animations? Ok

Oh, what a wreck you are SQ

What are the spider henchmen's names? Is the green-haired one the professor?

Forgot to mention, but gotta like the big guy and small guy with the daggers dynamic in the Celestial realm

Didn't notice the first time, but did the professor just there shade at the dagger guy?

Oh hey, it's the demon-disguised children

MK!? Why did you just throw your phone away!?

I forgot this is the episode where WUkong go to a 'vacation' too.

SWK, sometimes it'll do you good to just tell MK things

As funny as "My friends abandoned me", the freaking shot of it

I love MK's internal issues, and then the "Oh thank goodness" when Mei came into the shot. Mwah! Angst for days here

Wow, this is an episode I'm revisiting for MK's issue and personality. Clone Episode, Macaque Episode, Revenge of the Spider Queen Episode, and Sleep Bug Episode. MK might be my favourite character, after Macaque ofc.

Oh my god! MK???? Abandonment issues, attachment issues, and maybe dependency issues. Man I'm glad to be rewatching this thing

MK, we seriously need to get you to therapy. Sure I loved the impression you gave Pigsy, and you calling him dad, but going around in a robe and feeling like it's been forever since everyone fell for the Sleep Bug when reality it's been just hours, is bad for you. Go to Sandy and have a talk

Nice Job MK!

Is it uniquely MK's power aspect to create any mech?

Oh no! Pigsy nooooo

"Hah! Red means bad!... Well, sometimes it means good" - MK

I'm gaining stress over how much destruction MK is causing in the CLOUD

Same MK, I don't understand the Professor either

I got taken back at the sudden Jojo animations

Ok? Did the Guardians miss on purpose?

I'm pretty sure you bluffing your way MK

Monkey King would just brute force it

I should've seen the book coming but I didn't

Nerds in my country are popular, which is why I never understood American films making the Nerd so... idk, pathetic?

Poor Pigsy

MK giving a side eye, I know he's talking about SWK

Wah! I forgot about that Mech!

And finished!

[silentstaresfanficandfanart]

WAH ok so I have quite a few

One is tussie-mussie a victorian inspired mystery novel about a professor and her unplanned adoptive daughter trying to find out who murdered the professors best friend/academic rival/ unintended fiance who is now a skull she carries around only to wind up becoming one happy found family together. I planned to write more books for that and its the book I beat nanowrimo in 6 days using. : ) (that hurt ngl I was getting arm tingles after) and they're all rediculous. Currently editing that one and hopefully I can publish it soon!

Halcyon: started as a placeholder test thing for a video game, turned into a superhero story about a supervillain trying to save his beloved hero from her own very murderous tendencies. He believes with all his heart he can fix her. Unfortunately

*major Spoilers *

when she finds out he's a villain, his own old trauma comes up, and suddenly it's her turn to save him as he wipes his memories and becomes a much more prominent villain because he thought that'd make it less painful for them both when she inevitably killed him like she killed almost every other villain she ever faced.

Thankfully with the power of friendship (read: a good support system) there's hope yet for this tragic villain

*spoilers over*

This one's only got a few chapters left!

And the most recent one I'm preparing is an isekai/transmigration story set in a fantasy world with a mix of wuxia and typical jrpg type setting tropes.

In which the ghost king (working title) is summoned by a girl who thought (due to information suppression due to shame) he was a great scholar who could teach her to be a great celestial magic user her father would see as an equal to or even better than the original main character hero boy prince who's destined to save the world whos studying under her father with her

In the "original story" this horrible man killed her and her father and the librarian/records and book keeper of the sect theyre in took on training the great hero.

But the current Ghost king, who's an isekaied terminally ill man who was dear friends with the author of the book, instead choses to adopt her and fumble his way through trying to be a positive influence on the two young heroes who were meant to kill him. Found family wholesome vibes <3 his dream? To become an author like his friend who brought him such comfort in his final days and created this world he gets to cherish now.

*Spoilers*

But the author is there too (not knowing he wasn't the only one isekaied) and he's one of our cast >: ) one who knows just how manipulative the ghost king is *supposed to be* and as such 100% plans to kill him...how?

By summoning a certain oc he put into the book during a time when he thought his friend wouldn't live long enough to get to enjoy it, a character made so he could pretend in a way that his friend would live on in this world he created...little did he know ...*he would* just not as the character he made-

How will this happily family save their new dad? Guess you'll find out!

**spoilers over**

(I'm making this one specifically trying to fall in love with the characters I'm writing as much as possible <3 and to have as much fun as I can with the creative process-)

writers, listen up...

i've fallen out of touch with the writeblr community a lot in the past few years, and i want to rectify that. the community aspect was what made me fall in love with tumblr, and what improved my writing for the better.

the golden days of my writing were when i was highly active and engaged in this wonderful community, but life and work and the horrors of self publishing have overtaken my energy in the past year. however, i have been really struggling with original writing, and i want to get back into the community here.

that said...

you write fantasy with queer characters

are an indie author

post frequently about your wips (taglists are a bonus!)

are queer

are a very active and friendly writer

if any of these apply

please, please reblog and tell me about your wip. gush over it. infodump. characters and ships and worldbuilding and plot, i want it all! this is your invitation to be as selfishly indulgent as possible. let's make some new friends and restore some community!!

boosts appreciated!

[07 TeenAriel and Mikey]

Ariel felt awkward, she couldn't help but do so, as she stepped through Mikey's greenhouse. It was very nice in here, full of so many flowers, all so beautiful and bright. Ariel wish she could focus on that, and not how uncomfortable she felt. It was her fault for blowing up, and yes, amends were made, or at least, being made, but she couldn't help the way she felt in that moment. She wanted to talk to Mikey, but she didn't know what about. Maybe it was too soon for her to just try and act like things were back to normal - things were never going to be normal again...

Soft sigh escapes her, Ariel glancing around, soon seeing a garden fork - but it has her smiling as she grabs it,

"Hey, I've never seen a Dinglehopper like this before Auncle Mikey," She tries to lighten her own mood, "Sorta looks like Raph's Sai."

Not that it stopped her from pushing the prongs between her green hair, not caring for any dirt that was now going to be stuck in her locks. She smiles, spinning green around the garden fork, getting it thoroughly stuck,

"What? You're the one that taught me what a Dinglehopper is."

She says it with a mile, trying to tug the equipment free. It only tangles further. So Ariel gives up, grins, and lets the metal hang in her hair,

"What do you think?" Ariel asks, still trying to act normal, "Nice - right?"

| Muse Interaction

"Nice right?" Mikey goes on to say leading Ariel in further to his greenhouse. His spirits were a bit lighter and brighter ever since she forgave him. Mask warn around his neck when he was busy working away in his own place. Old worn and torn garden gloves managed to fit just fine on his oddly numbered hand. Mikey walking over to point out some new lamps her father helped him out with. "ya dad still the smartest guy around, no matter what I did or tried, the lights just would not stay on? The wires kept like sparking and sure it looked cool buuut I don't think spontaneous fires, work great in a green house?" Mikey wasn't lost on the fact Ariel wasn't talking right now. He figured the poor girl still felt bad about snapping at him. So, he could just fill in for the lack of conversation on his own end.

Mikey giving her a little grand tour of the place. Once he got somethings sorted out it was coming together well more like Donnie took time out to help. Getting a water system in the works, fixing up the lights and all that other stuff that went over their head but Don was able to least give him a run down on what he would at least need in order to make sure the plants inside were getting treated well. Mostly he grew flowers but he had some strawberry plants Mikey wanted to maybe add more like that but he figured starting slow was best. Maybe he could grow tomatoes and learn to make marinara sauce? Small little goals and plans, it was what he felt would be a nice start for himself. Thinking to far ahead still sometimes scared and worried himself. Didn't need to go out and opps join the foot again.

Ya know making it a joke somehow doesn't help it feel any better. But it's what he did crack jokes. Just trying to get that old flow together again.

"Hey, I've never seen a Dinglehopper like this before Auncle Mikey,"

"A wah?" He asks, looking over his shoulder and up towards Areil eyeing the garden from she picked up. Only slightly recalling that's what they called the fork in The Little Mermaid.

"Sorta looks like Raph's Sai."

Mikey offers a smile at that comment "Yeah just don't make him mad when hes got it, trust me last time he stopped by-"

Mikey start to his story came to a sudden pause as he watched Ariel work the prongs of the garden fork through her hair. Not so much finding it funny as maybe a tad on the odd sight if anything. Offering a tilt of his head as he watched, slightly grimacing as he could easily see dirt working into Ariel's hair. What a waste! She had such nice pretty hair too! Sure it worked for comb through his soil of the many flower beds but Mikey had a feeling is wasn't the best for hair. He offers an odd chuckle her way pointing out to the thing. "uh Ari?"

"What? You're the one that taught me what a Dinglehopper is."

This might be why Don used to get on his case so much for stuff like that uh? Watch as the prongs had starting to do their job but in hair? it just cause the strands to tangle up. Mikey's eyes widen a little as he took a step forward hands held out wanting to take it out but unsure what to do as she seemed to find the fork getting resistance. Yeah Mikey starting to understand Don's point now whoops sorry Don.

"What do you think?"

Mikey maybe shouldn't but he can't help how the laugh works out of his beak making a little 'pfft' as if he was leaking air. He was trying so hard to hold it in, that he could feel tears stinging at the corners of his eyes. But it was only made worse as he watch how the frok just hung in her hair like some accessory nearly.

"Nice - right?"

Nope he can't he slams a hand to his beak but the force of his laugh was far to strong as he starting to burst out laughing. Wrapping an arm around himself as he needed to lean forward eyes squeezing shut tight as he continued on to laugh harder and harder. "Sorry" he manages to breath out "sorry I pfft sorry." He was truly sorry for laughing but that wasn't helping him to stop anytime soon clearly. Moving his hand back to his beak as he bite at a finger hoping the dull pain would get him to clam down but the fit of laughter just kept coming. Slowly they resort to trying to control his breathing. Oh, that seems to be working. Breathing in slow and steady till he gained control over the laugh he was giving. grabbing at his mask he had around his neck to dab at his eyes to wipe his tears away he finally gets enough control back to move and stand.

"Hmm no." He goes to finally answer, moving to walk over towards her now. "I mean brown and green look great buuuut" Mikey extends the word out as he starts working to untangle the strands of hair from the prongs of the garden fork. Slowly unknotting the mess, not wanting to pull to hard. He wasn't aware how sensitive hair was when pulled. "I don't think these clumps of dirt are quite the look your going for?" He continues to tease and play into her own joke, once he gets the fork freed he just idly tosses it off to the side. A clank following once it hits the floor. As Mikey reached for her hair and held it up slightly eyeing the dirt in there still. "I mean the maintenance would just be such a pain, you would have to re place the dirt everyday? Not mentioned it'll turn into mud when ya go for those swims of yours." Slightly stepping close so he could start to shake the dirt out from her hair picking out any clumps he could for her. "And ya know ya can't be running around with two different themes either Ari, it's like clashing your colors. Man what have ya parents taught you about fashion?" Mikey asks in fake astonishment. "Dumb stuff like ph balances, or quantum physics." He blows out air at that "Who needs all of that when you have all this nice long hair!"

As to add on to his point Mikey steps over and drapes the section he been work to clean out over his own head. "I mean if I had all this hair I'd focus on that. Make it nice and shiny, keep it all healthy too. Though I think salt water meant to be good for that." He tilts his head and smiles up at her. Well aware what she was trying to do, but she didn't need to try so hard as he steps away and looks at her "What about a fishtail braid? I mean it's the perfect hair style for you right?"

(Project Sekai) Kiritani Haruka BloomFes Story - To Become an Idol They Can be Proud Of

Really loved this one and had fun translating it! If you have this card, I'd recommend watching the story yourself and reading along with translation. I'll start An's bloomfes tomorrow! Enjoy and happy new year!

Transcript under the cut

Story 1

[Stage SEKAI]

Haruka: Ah! Meiko-san, Kaito-san, hi! 

Meiko: Welcome, Haruka-chan ⁠♪

Kaito: You look happy. Did something good happen? 

Haruka: Yeah! After a long while, we finally got a job offer. It's for some district radio station. 

Meiko: And you took the offer? 

Haruka: Yup. We'll meet with the person in charge sometime so we plan to give our formal response by then. 

Haruka: Seems like they've reached out to us after seeing Shizuku's commercial. Hopefully, we'll live up to their expectations. 

Meiko: It'd be great if you could get a ton of work again after this job!

Haruka: I agree! 

Haruka: …and so mom and dad can feel relieved too. 

Kaito: …Your mom and dad? What do you mean? 

Haruka: Oh, sorry. 

Haruka: Usually, when I come out on TV, I have my parents record those programs. 

Haruka: Since we haven't been getting work lately, I haven't asked them to make any recordings at all and it feels so abrupt too. 

Haruka: So they've been concerned if something happened. 

Haruka: But if I tell them the truth, I'll make them worried again. 

Haruka: So I told my parents that I'm just doing preparations for our live streams and other activities. 

Kaito: I see… 

Haruka: (...Technically, I didn't really lie to my parents. For a week, I've been trying to plan for live streams every day.) 

Haruka: (But I can't just continue to withhold what's actually going on.) 

Haruka: (Maybe like the radio gig, work can come smoothly again and I don't have to deceive mom and dad but…) 

*Fragment of feeling flash sound*

Haruka: …Eh? 

Meiko: …That light just now, seems like a light of feelings. 

Kaito: I was thinking the same thing. Look! Over there! 

Meiko: Just what I thought! It's a Fragment of Feelings! 

Haruka: That thing that looks like broken glass? Last time, the Fragment of Feelings I saw was round in shape. 

Meiko: Yeah, it should have a round form. In that case, I wonder if this is some Shard of Feelings? 

Kaito: Even so, I'm getting a strange vibe out of it. The fact that it was flashing light, it seemed as if it wanted us to find it. 

Haruka: …

Haruka: … Fragments of Feelings are born from a certain thought. Touching it can get us to understand what those feelings are. 

(TL NOTE: Thanks for recapping that for us Haruka, I knew I could always count on you~) 

Haruka: This is a Shard of Feelings so if I touch it, it should probably go the same way.

Meiko: …Then, are you gonna go to that Shard's SEKAI? 

Haruka: Yeah. It's like what Kaito said, I feel like this encounter isn't just some coincidence. 

Meiko: Right! We'll come with you every step of the way! 

Haruka: Meiko, Kaito-san, thank you! 

Haruka: –Then, let's go. 

*Haruka touches the shard and they transfer to the Shard SEKAI*

[???]

Haruka: …This is the Shard's SEKAI? 

Meiko: It seems like it's shrouded in fog. There's some greenery so it could be a very pleasant place? 

Kaito: Yeah…huh? 

Meiko: Kyah! W-was s-someone just there!? 

Haruka: ….! 

Kaito: Huh? That kid…she kind of resembles Haruka-chan…

Haruka: That's me…a younger me…? 

Other Haruka: …Thank goodness. 

Other Haruka: Don't make mom and dad sad again. 

Haruka: ….uh! 

Meiko: Haruka-chan? 

Other Haruka: …But you'll definitely make mom and dad sad anyways–

Other Haruka: For as long as I'm an idol. 

Haruka: I—

Other Haruka: If you truly care about mom and dad,

Other Haruka: Just quit being an idol. 

Haruka: …Wait! 

*Haruka touches Other Haruka and a light flashes* 

Haruka: Ah! 

Kaito: Wah, it's so bright! 

Meiko: Haruka-chan!?

Meiko: Thank goodness, Haruka-chan, you oka–? 

Kaito: Huh… you look… 

???: …That kid, my younger-self, where did she…? 

???: Eh… Why am I over there…? 

Meiko: No way, you're Haruka-chan!? 

Haruka: Yeah, I'm me but… ? 

Kaito & Meiko: Haruka-chans switched bodies?! 

Story 2

[???] 

Haruka: … I turned younger? 

Haruka: …it's real. Meiko and Kaito-san seem much taller to me. 

*Other Haruka walks away*

Haruka: Wait—...Ah! 

Kaito: Woah! Haruka-chan, you okay!?

Haruka: Yeah… I just tripped. 

Haruka: What just happened? How could I switch bodies? 

Meiko: This is a special kind of SEKAI so odd stuff like that happening wouldn't be too out of place here. 

Meiko: That being said… 

Meiko: so…So cuuuuuute~~~~! 

*Meiko holds Haruka's baby cheeks*

Haruka: Wa! Me-Meiko!?

Kaito: Hey no fai–I mean!! Meiko-san, this isn't the time for that! 

Meiko: But cute stuff is cute~ Look, these cheeks are so puffy!! 

Haruka: Ha…hehe…! Meiko, that tickles! 

Meiko: Yup-yup! Such a cute face! 

Meiko: It's the Haruka-chan we know to her core! The Haruka from earlier seemed to have such a stern face. 

Haruka: …Yeah. I wasn't much of a smiler back then. 

Haruka: My mom would say, "Haruka doesn't smile, huh?" and she'd seem sad. 

Kaito: She'd look sad, huh… 

Meiko: The other Haruka-chan also said something like that. Does that have anything to do with what you just said about your mom? 

Haruka: I'm not sure but…

*Brief flashback from earlier*

Other Haruka: …But you'll definitely make mom and dad sad anyways. 

Other Haruka: For as long as I'm an idol. 

—

Haruka: …After I became an idol, I gave my parents a hard time every so often. 

Haruka: At the time of my debut, I was told all sorts of things online. That my expressions were stiff, that I wasn't good at dancing, that I only made it through industry connections. 

Haruka: When I'd cry in my room, my mom would find me…

Haruka: She looked like she was in pain. 

Haruka: …Even as I became ASRUN's leader, I kept being compared to other leaders. 

Haruka: That time, I learned to not mind those voices that endlessly criticized me. But my parents…I think they just kept feeling bad. 

Haruka: After that, Mai got injured and standing on stage felt so frightening. 

Haruka: My parents took a day off from work to be with me. They searched for various doctors and supported me however they could. 

Haruka: In the end, I retired from idol work.

Haruka: …When I talked about quitting, my mom cried. 

Haruka: While she cried, she said nothing and held me tight. 

Haruka: But back then, I never once said "thank you". Honestly, I don't think I'm all that great of a daughter for it. 

Haruka: And after all of that happened, in some self-absorbed fashion, I told them I wanted to be an idol again. 

Haruka: Mom and dad said it's alright as long as it's what I love doing. 

Kaito: They're great parents…

Haruka: …Yeah and I don't want to worry them. 

Haruka: I don't want them to feel sad because of me. 

Haruka: But, that's…

???: —That's impossible for as long as you're an idol. 

Haruka: …! 

Other Haruka: If you aren't aware of that then you'll run into trouble. Let me spell out the answer for you.

Meiko: The answer? 

Other Haruka: Yes. Who's the owner of this SEKAI and the feelings it was born from? 

Other Haruka: This SEKAI belongs to you and I. 

Other Haruka: Those feelings of not wanting to make our parents sad; from the moment you were small, you've always kept those thoughts and thus, this SEKAI was born. 

Haruka: …

Other Haruka: Based on your expression, it seems you're starting to figure it out bit by bit. 

Other Haruka: Well then, I suppose you know what you need to do in order to fulfill those desires, right? 

Haruka: …. 

Haruka: (...I get it now) 

Haruka: (When I became an idol, each time there was an incident, I worried my parents.) 

Haruka: (Even though they've supported me more than anyone else has, I've given them a hard time on numerous occasions and I'm guilty of that….) 

Haruka: (There are moments where I've thought of living a normal life and I could give back to my parents much easier that way.) 

Haruka: (However…) 

Haruka: (However…I…) 

*Kaito and Meiko hug Haruka*

Haruka: Ah…

Haruka: Meiko, Kaito-san…

Meiko: You've gotten your answer but is that really the right answer for you? You seemed lost.

Kaito: It's okay. It's okay for you to think and say those words, Haruka-chan. 

Kaito: The only one up against you is yourself. It's okay to not lie to yourself. 

Haruka: …! 

Haruka: I… 

Haruka: That day, on that stage, I learned that even I could make someone smile. 

Haruka: Me, who only made my parents frown. 

Haruka: If I'm an idol, I can make everyone smile. So–! 

*Emotional flashbacks to all the locations she associates with being an idol and returns back to normal.* 

Haruka: –I'm not quitting! 

Haruka: I'll keep being an idol! 

Meiko: Haruka-chan…! 

Haruka: …You're me so I know I don't need to tell you this but…

Haruka: I love the idol that made me smile. 

Haruka: I love the idol who taught me that even I could get someone to smile. 

Haruka: The idols that bring hope to so many people, so they could give it their all tomorrow. I–

Haruka: I love idols! 

Other Haruka: …

Other Haruka: And what about the idol that makes her parents cry? 

Haruka: That's not what I think. I still have yet to fully bloom as an idol. 

Haruka: So one day, I'll become an idol that my mother and father could truly be proud of. 

Other Haruka: …I see

Other Haruka: …Right. If it were me, I would've answered the same way. 

Other Haruka: I, too….

*They return to the Stage SEKAI*

Meiko: …Phew. Looks like we're back to our original SEKAI, huh?

Kaito: That's right. Haruka-chan, you okay? 

Haruka: I'm alright. Thanks so much. 

Haruka: …but that was pretty surprising; a SEKAI born from those feelings…my feelings…

Meiko: Perhaps, the SEKAI gave you a chance to connect with those feelings of yours. 

Kaito: And at the tail end of it all, the fog cleared up and that SEKAI we saw was something beautiful. 

Kaito: There were lots of pictures of a smiling Haruka-chan! 

Haruka: …Yeah, that's right. 

Haruka: (--The idol that makes mom and dad proud…)

Haruka: (That was a promise I made to myself. Nothing to do but give it my all.)

Thank you for the tag @saffron-reblogs and @nikki-roleplays

1. So you’ve decided to join the Demon Slayer Corps! What brought you here?

I was 6 when I walking around, and I saw a kid.He was a little bit older then me and he had yellow and red hair. He also had a wooden sword with him. I wonder what he was doing so I went up to him.

“Hey, what are you doing?”

“Im Kyojuro Rengoku!”

“Wah!”

I fell backwards from his loud voice.

“Are you okay, Sorry I didn’t mean to scare you.”

He put his hand out so he can help me up. I grab his hand.

“It okay, also my name is Natalie.”

“Wow, that’s a pretty name”

“Thanks, also I wanted to ask. What are you doing?”

“Oh I’m training”

“Huh.”

“Oh, I’m training to be part of the demon slayer”

“Huh!”

He had to explain to me what the demon slayer core was. I mean demon slayers, demons, and katanas! Who would believe that, but I listen and I felt like he was telling the truth.

“So your telling me demons are real, and they eat people and only come out at night.”

“Yep!”

“Okay, and there a demon slayer core that kills though demon and that’s why your out here.”

“Yep!”

I was still trying to wrap my head around what he was telling.

“So why are you training out here?”

“well, my Dad was busy today and my brother sick, so I decided to train out here today.“

“Well can I train with you.”

“Huh, are you sure.”

“Well I’m still trying to wrap my around the whole thing, and I wasn’t really doing anything before hand. Is that okay?”

“Well I do have an extra sword, so sure!”

He handed me the sword, and he helped me with my form. It’s was actually really fun. Even though most of the time he won, but still it was really fun. I said my good bye, and went home. I would come back to the same spot, so me and Kyojuro could train. It was really fun, and I got to his little brother Senjuro. He told me about his mom and how she was very nice and that she was a smart woman.

I told my sister about my new friend. She was very excited about how I made a new friend. Everything seem like it was going great, but happiness can’t last forever.

“Mom, I’m going out to get some food.”

“Okay, be back before dark.”

“Okay, Mom.”

I 10 when I went to get groceries at the market. After getting all the groceries, I realized it was really late. Thankfully Kyojuro house was near by, so I went to his house. He gave me futon, and I fell asleep. I hope my parents and sisters were okay.

Next morning, it was raining. Kyojuro was worried about the rain, but I told him I would be find. He gave me a wagasa, and me on my way. I was excited to see what my sister, Mom,and Dad. Mom and Dad are probably worried were I was, but I’ll just explain to them what happened.

“I’m excited to see what Mom made for breakfast, maybe koji salmon or fruit salad.”

I got to my house, but the door was opened. Usually they don’t have the door opened in the morning.

“Weird.”

I went to the front door and I didn’t even finished my sentence before I froze.

“Hey family, sorry I….

I froze there body’s were on the floor mangled it bad shapes, and there was blood everywhere. I ran over to my sister who was lying on the floor.

“Sister! Hey wake up why aren’t you answering please get up!”

I was crying I didn’t know what to do. Kyojuro family crow found out what happened, and sent it the demon slayer core and Kyojuro. That when I decided I wanted to become a demon slayer member. Kyojuro helped me train.

2. Wow, that’s terrible. And how did you prepare for the Final Selection? 

Train with Kyojuro Rengoku.

3. What was the worst injury you sustained, or the closest you came to death? 

I almost lost my arm to a demon.

4. Well, you survived, that’s good! Now that you’re in the Corp, what does your haori look like?

7. Be honest. How scared are you? 

A little scared at first, but not as scared now.

9. I see. So what sorts of people do you like to eat? Eat people who are mean

10. Sounds gross to me, but whatever floats your boat. What are your thoughts on that, you know, that one guy, he whom we shall not name? 

I think he I very kind and he very generous.

Blue flames

before you read: this is a jjk x bsd crossover, if you're new and interested about knowing more, kindly check the masterlist of the oneshot series above, as well as my pinned post to see what i write about and such!!

bsd scenario !

"everyone, gather around!"

the preschoolers instantly gathered as per instructed by their dazai-sensei, the junior caretaker of the nursery they each go to. 

"what is it, dazai-sensei?" atsushi was the first one to ask, "are we getting ice cream?"

"are we having juice for lunch?" the other preschoolers held hopeful gazes as kenji inquired next.

"oh, no, no, no." dazai shook his head, softly chuckling, causing the kids to make a sad noise, but that changed when he said, "someone new will be joining us from now on!"

the brunet took a step back and motioned to you, who had been standing behind him since earlier. as their dazai-sensei introduced you, all of the children looked at you with interest and curiosity. you, too, were dressed in the nursery uniform, but yours was scarlet, and you were wearing black shorts, knee-high socks, and school shoes.

"everyone, meet fushiguro [name]-chan!" dazai happily introduced you.

"wah! a new kid!" atsushi exclaimed excitedly along with the other children.

as you stood still, you were inundated with greetings such as friendly "hi's" and "hello's".

"nice to meet you, [name]-chan!" kenji extended his hand for you to shake, but much to his and everyone's dismay, you simply stared at him and his hand, blinking as you maintained a stoic expression; it reminded them of akutagawa as well.

"e-eh? what's wrong [name]-chan? don't you wanna shake kenji-kun's hand?" dazai looked at you with concern, scratching his chin. you simply stared back before averting your gaze, shaking your head 'no' and fiddling with the hem of your nursery uniform.

"[name]-chan seems like a shy kid." chuuya, the older kid of the group, pointed out something that all of the other kids agreed on.

"hmm, it's okay! you don't have to shake my hand if you don't want to!" kenji smiled at you either way as he drew back his hand.

"do you wanna play with us instead, [name]-chan?" atsushi offered, showing you a ball he, kunikida, ranpo, and kyouka had planned to play with before you and dazai arrived.

you simply stared before shaking your head, earning a frown from him and the rest of the kids. after their attempts to get you to talk and play with them, you left to read a storybook from the shelves by yourself in a corner.

"she's not mute, is she, dazai-sensei?" akutagawa tugged on the apron of the caretaker before pointing at you.

"she hasn't said a word since she got here." kyouka said in addition, "is she okay?"

kunikida stated before folding his arms across his chest, "she's kind of like ranpo-kun when he first came here."

"[name]-chan can speak, i assure you. she just spoke to her father a little while ago," dazai replied to the children, recalling how you and gojo said your goodbyes before he left you with him. the brunet's frown deepened as he muttered so quietly that the kids barely heard him. "but when gojo-kun said [name]-chan has trouble with kids her age, i didn't expect it to be this serious."

dazai remembered being approached by gojo satoru, a close friend of his who he likes to think is a "variant" of him due to how similar they are, before you were enrolled and brought to the bungo stray dogs nursery. according to gojo, you are a child he has had custody of for a long time. although you had no problems with gojo, your older brother, and the rest of your family-figures, you become an entirely different person around kids your age, which is quite concerning because you need to interact in order to improve your social interaction with other people and independence.

"then, why isn't she talking or playing with us?" kyouka tipped her head to the side. "does she not like us?"

"what? no! that isn't the case at all. [name]-chan just needs some time adjusting. this is her first preschool, that's all." dazai assured them all with a smile. "which is why i need all of your help. i want you all to be nice to [name]-chan and make her feel like she's just at home, okay?"

"okay, dazai-sensei!" they all chimed.

as time passed, you continued to ignore the other kids, and not just the other kids, but all of the nursery staff, including the principal fukuzawa himself, despite the fact that everyone adored him. when you had to sit with them, you simply sat in the corner or remained completely silent.

the poor kids thought they were talking to a wall around you and almost thought you were mute because you just stared and shook your head 'no' the majority of the time they initiated to do something with you. 

"how's [name]?" yosano, one of the caretakers of the nursery, approached dazai to see him frowning as he stared at you, who was simply sitting on a swing all by yourself while the others were playing in groups of twos and threes. apparently, everyone, including you, was outside in the playground.

"still no luck, yosano-sensei." dazai sighed and ran his fingers through his brown hair.

"i see. the principal is concerned. he hasn't met a kid like [name] before." yosano shook her head, "did her father tell you anything that could help us help her?"

"all gojo-kun said is that she has difficulty mingling with other kids her age; he doesn't know why, but [name] just tells him she doesn't like them," dazai explained briefly.

"there must be a reason." yosano's gaze shifted towards you afterwards before shaking her head.

you were sitting alone on a swing, enjoying the calmness of the wind and the peace of being alone, still ignoring everyone else, when a ball literally flew towards you.

"[NAME]-CHAN!! WATCH OUT!!"

just as you panickedly raised your head in the direction of the voice. when you saw how close the ball was to you, you immediately closed your eyes, deciding to accept your fate instead, but nothing happened. the impact of the ball striking you never arrived. you slowly opened your eyes, puzzled, and found yourself in shock. a white tiger cub was right in front of you, and riding on top of him was that akutagawa-kid, with black tendrils shooting out from his back, completely slicing up the ball intended to hit you.

"akutagawa and atsushi worked together to save [name]-chan?!" the kids were in awe, knowing how the two don't get along very well, and so were dazai and yosano as they ran to get you were just as surprised, but paused to see you interact with the children for the first time (cue yosano pulling dazai by the collar to prevent him for intervening).

"[name]-chan, are you okay?" atsushi, who had just transformed into a white tiger cub, inquired, turning his head to face you only to become concerned. "ahh! did you get hurt?!"

"you have powers too?" you spoke to them for the first time, blinking as tears welled up in your eyes. "you saved me with them too.."

"of course we did. all of us have abilities. dazai-sensei is worried about you, you know." akutagawa scoffed, his gaze averted, but his tone of voice wasn't as harsh. his voice was indeed soft-spoken, as evidenced by the way his next words rolled off quietly. "you shouldn't make him even more worried with you getting hurt."

"h-hey, why are you crying?" chuuya, the older kid, can't help but feel empathy when he sees you, a kid younger than him and the rest of the kids, crying.

you shook your head, frowning. "i didn't know you guys were like me too."

"you're a gifted too, [name]-chan?" kyouka asked, eyes widening.

"mhm," you nodded, a small smile on your lips, as you showed them your hands, which were covered in sanguine red vapors that trailed from your fingertips, eliciting looks of awe from them.

"i have wiggly-woos magic." you said while allowing your red psionics to carry leaves that had fallen from a nearby tree and magically swirl them around you and everyone as you made yourself levitate in mid-air, but you quickly dissipated your chaos magic as you hung your head and landed back on your feet. "kids told me i was weird because of my powers. they think i'm a monster for seeing things that aren't there too."

"what? but, you're so cool!" chuuya exclaimed, his eyes lighting up with interest. "your ability is kind of like mine too! see? see!" as a similar red glow surrounded him, the older kid used his gravity manipulation ability to make himself stick to a branch upside down.

"i agree with chuuya-kun, [name]-chan!" atsushi nodded as turned back into his human-form, "you're not a monster! you're special just like all of us!"

when everyone praised and asked your abilities, you realized you had finally found people who would not judge you, but rather accept you for who and what you truly are, and you had also found a place to belong.

"[name]-chan, show us your magic again!!"

"how do you twitch your fingers like that?"

"can you make me float too?!"

is this why gojo enrolled you to this preschool? to show you how you weren't alone? it must be fate you think as a smile—a genuine smile—had finally broke through your face.

bsd headcanons !

you had finally stepped out of your comfort zone after nearly being hit by a ball while kunikida, ranpo, and atsushi were playing and discovering that everyone has powers like you. you weren't as quiet and ignorant as before, and atsushi and everyone else, including dazai and the rest of the nursery staff, got to see a whole new side of you—the real you.

you were a sweet and bubbly child who always smiled, laughed, and talked a lot. you were a little chaotic, especially with how you liked to zoom and teleport with your chaos magic, but they adored you, your true self. you were enjoyable to be around, just as you found them fun to be with.

you became very close to chuuya, with atsushi coming in second. chuuya was amazed by how similar your and his abilities were. athough dazai and the children thought it was strange for him to be so nice, it did reassure them that the menace older kid does have a kind heart. you and chuuya enjoy demonstrating each other's abilities, and you even made the room anti-gravity once by combining both of your abilities.

atsushi was an absolute sweetheart, always chatting with you and making you feel included by constantly inviting you to join him, kyouka, ranpo, kenji, and kunikida. you and ranpo enjoy reading mystery storybooks; you and kenji love bonding over food and napping together; you and kunikida enjoy drawing; you and kyouka like making animal cut-outs and origamis; and you and atsushi enjoy bonding over odasaku man and stuffies and playing ball with the others.

you might think of naomi and junichiro as a strange sibling pair, but they're nice. naomi enjoys braiding and styling your hair, or at least tries to, but it's all good because you do the same with hers. junichiro enjoys seeing his sister get along with you because naomi is constantly clinging to him. he watches out for you two, making sure you and naomi don't trip while playing.

you found akutagawa difficult to be around, but he's nice to you. at least he's nicer to you than he is to atsushi; he was the one who saved you earlier from being hit by the ball, yanking atsushi along with him to get to you faster. he may not appear to care about you, but he does.

because motojiro is quite chaotic, you actually pair up quite well with him. he enjoys causing havoc with his lemon bombs, and you enjoy causing havoc with your wiggly-woos. you also found higuchi and tachihara fun to play with and talk with, just like you did with atsushi and his friends.

at the end of the day, you were able to make very good progress, and dazai and staff loved to see it, as well for gojo to hear it.

ending / bonus bsd scenario !

after spending hours at the preschool, it was time for you and the children to be picked up by your parents and return home, and as gojo was on his way to get you after finishing his work at jujutsu tech, he couldn't help but smile from afar as he saw you smile and wave goodbye to the other children as they were picked up by their own parent or guardian.

"kikufuku!" gojo yelled and ran up to you, to which you quickly responded by meeting him in the middle and leaving dazai's side. the limitless sorcerer picked you into his arms, twirling you in the air for a few moments before kissing your forehead. "how was your first day?"

"it was fun! i made tons of friends!" you giggled as you wrapped your tiny arms around gojo's neck.

"really? you did?!" he gasped softly.

"indeed, [name]-chan has, gojo-kun." dazai said as he sauntered towards you two, smiling. "she and the kids did a lot of playing and talking today."

"i wanna go here tomorrow again, and again, and again!" you drew away to throw your hands in the air to exaggerate your desire. "i like it here, no, i love it here already!"

gojo is extremely proud of you. you told him not long ago that you didn't want to go to bungo stray dogs preschool and that you didn't want him to leave you there. not only were you able to mingle and make friends with the kids, but seeing you happy and be genuine yourself was all gojo could ask for.

it was more than enough for him.

[bestworstcase]

Your post about Yang and Tai’s advice just showed up on my dash and 1) I love this show and 2) it really hit me how I didn’t really question Tai in that moment? He’s her dad, the adult to her child, and he was right about what He was talking about in the tournament specifically but not all of Yang. The idea that your parents can hurt you while trying to help you, how their love can take on an unfair or unhelpful shape. Wah. But also it had me thinking. Yang has yet to tackle her emotional side of all of this and still acted in self sacrifice to save Ruby. What’s the best way for her to address this? No one has ever mentioned it before in show so would the girls talking about it be the realizing or is it something she needs to see on her own? Or a combo of both. Yang telling Ruby she wanted her to be safe and maybe Ruby or Blake getting upset bc “what does me being safe have to do with me losing you? Nothing is worth losing you not even me?” I need this volume in my eyes so badly

😭 one of my FAVORITE things about rwby is how it just… lets characters be wrong. a lot of stories you’ll get this thing of—a character lies or voices a misunderstanding and the narrative almost immediately does something to signal that the statement is false, if not having another character jump in to correct them then rushing to a scene that establishes unambiguously what the truth is, or even just flagging liars by making a point of how suspicious they are. right? how many times have you read a story or watched a tv show and known within a matter of pages or minutes at most that a character just lied to you?

but rwby doesn’t do that! the characters make mistakes, jump to erroneous conclusions, hold preconceived notions that distort their perspectives of the present, and even outright LIE and the narrative just lets that happen without commentary—rwby shows an *enormous* degree of respect for its audience, an enormous amount of trust that its viewers care enough about the story to pay attention and really engage with it. and because it’s written with that trust it’s able to just embrace complexity and nuance and characters being wrong and stuff like that. idk i just think it makes the story feel really *welcoming* in a way—like, the narrative isn’t trying to hold our hands and tell us what we should think, it’s inviting us to think for ourselves.

not to get like sappy or anything gkgdjf

but god yeah. yang’s v9 arc!

the nature of void wonderland makes concrete speculation tricky—i’m pretty confident about the basic emotional and thematic trajectories i foresee, but there are so many unknown variables in this wholly new and bizarre setting that when it gets down to the question of WHAT will happen HOW it will occur is kind of just taking shots in the dark. we’ve already got emotion-reactive weather and talking mice who knows what other weird shit could happen.

that said, any time you stick a character whose biggest problem involves emotional repression into a setting where their feelings are literalized into the environment… i mean. lmao. it’s hard to bury your feelings when they’re literally bursting out of you to influence the weather, right? so i anticipate that playing some role in both ruby’s and yang’s arcs—they’re both very bad at articulating their unwanted emotions, ruby because she feels so much pressure to be the perfect leader and yang because deep down she doesn’t believe in her own innate worth, but now they’re in a place that is, literally, going to articulate their unwanted emotions *for* them.

(as a metaphor for how bottling up your feelings just makes them build up until they explode out whether you like it or not, this is of course very fun.)

the OTHER thing—with yang specifically—is that there has, in fact, been a major arc about a character falling into self-sacrificing/self-destructive habits, bleeding herself dry for the sake of protecting the world until her friend confronted her about it, showed her how counterproductive it was to exhaust herself, and begged her to take better care of herself. i am of course talking about blake in volume two—and in THAT arc, YANG was the character who saw this type of behavior for the damaging exercise in futility that it ultimately is and pulled blake out of her self-destructive spiral.

there’s a deep hypocrisy in what yang is doing to herself now, because as we saw in v2 this self-sacrificing bullshit is NOT something yang tolerates or supports when she sees it in people she cares about. she knows it’s harmful. she knows it’s not safe. and when she’s in a state of better mental health, like she was during the beacon arc, she’s even able to recognize that tendency in herself and make the conscious, deliberate choice to restrain it.

blake knows that, because she was on the receiving end of yang giving her exactly the kind of talk yang needs to hear now. so i think blake is gonna be coming at this problem not just from a perspective of having just seen yang fall to her apparent death after bodily shielding ruby from an attack, but also from a perspective of knowing that she just needs to get yang to connect the dots between, well, setting herself on fire for other people in both the literal and figurative sense and the kind of single-minded self-destructive behavior that they talked about in burning the candle. like, if blake can get yang to see that burying her feelings and never asking for support because she’s so focused on supporting her friends is the *same* as putting ruby in a wagon and walking through the woods for miles until she’s too exhausted to scream when the grimm attack because she’s so focused on finding her mom… it doesn’t feel the same to yang, because the former arises from a selfless desire to protect others whereas the latter arose from a self-centered desire to find her mother, but it is the same, because both are just yang sacrificing her own well-being for the sake of a goal she gives greater importance than herself.

i do think that—while obviously RWB are all gonna feel some way about yang sacrificing herself to shield ruby—the arc as a whole probably won’t focus very closely on That Specific sacrificial act, because:

1. if blake or weiss had spotted neo, or if neo had gone for yang and ruby had seen her, there’s not a single doubt in my mind that any of them would have reacted any differently than yang did: rushing forward as fast as they can to save their teammate from getting stabbed in the back. (see also, weiss shoving ruby clear of cinder’s explosion later in the same fight and getting her aura broken in the process.) for yang, that action was part of a larger pattern of self-sacrificial behavior, but in that specific situation, in the heat of the moment, she just did what *any* of them would have done.

2. because of the first point, making that specific action the central focus gives yang something of an out: instead of being a conversation about how yang thinks she ALWAYS needs to be the one supporting them because she doesn’t feel DESERVING of their support in turn, it becomes a conversation about “well what would YOU have done? she was going to stab ruby! it’s not like i wanted her to kill me instead, i just wanted to protect my sister!”—and she’d be right, because taken in isolation yang really didn’t do anything wrong by getting between neo and ruby. it sucks that it happened too fast for yang to deflect the attack itself, sure, but in essence she saw an adversary sneaking up to stab ruby while ruby was focused on cinder and moved to intervene.

and while yang’s underlying mindset likely influenced how she intervened—using her body to shield ruby vs trying to tackle neo, or tackle ruby so the attack would miss them both—the act of intervention itself was the only right thing to do. the deeper problem, the thing that really needs addressing, is that underlying mindset, which expresses itself in yang’s ready willingness to take hits so her teammates don’t have to but also, far more critically, manifests as yang disregarding her own emotional needs for the sake of being the strong one, the shoulder to cry on, the supportive rock everyone else can rely on. so i figure RWB will be more focused on “we are here for you, we WANT to be here for you, please let us be here for you” than on like prosecuting the details of one specific incident.

and meanwhile yang has all this pent-up emotional junk she’s been drowning in since v4 that got exacerbated by her unsatisfying confrontations with raven in v5—resentment, anger, grief for the relationship with the mom she wishes raven could have been, frustration with herself for not being good enough for raven to stay, feeling helpless after a lifetime of wanting this confrontation and then getting the answers she wanted and it changing absolutely nothing, so forth—that has hitherto only bubbled up as flashes of intense anger at acceptable available targets (ozpin in v6, salem in v8) but is prime for a major eruption if she keeps trying to stamp it down. my guess is that we’re going to see yang become a lot more emotionally volatile in v9 as all this *stuff* she’s been keeping dammed up starts to spring leaks.

Oops?

Pairing: Friend!Loki x F!Reader

Warnings: Reader is about 15! Tony is a shitty dad, dirty talk, slight violence, people being… inappropriate (mainly men), dumb jokes and stupid nicknames, light cursing, mentions of attempted SA and attempted rape

Summary: You dad, Tony Stark, made you go to a gala with him and the other Avengers, where you get into a little trouble…

Find my other works here!

You took a sip of your apple cider, wishing you hadn’t been forced to come to this stupid party. You glare at the back of your dads head, wishing you could drill a hole into a skull. You didn’t want to be here, and last time you’d come to one, you’d gotten in so much trouble.

Spilling juice on a guest, knocking over a table full of food, and accidentally unplugging the sound system when you tripped over a cord.

Yeah, not fun being grounded for 2 weeks because of all that. “Enjoying yourself, my lady?” Loki asks, and you whirl around, the skirt of your dress flaring. You smile, shoving his shoulder before giving him a side hug.

“Why, good evening, dickhead!” you say, and Loki laughs. “Wow, you really clean up well. Look at you, all dapper and shit. Looks nice on you, Lokes.” You see Loki smile, and you cross your eyes at him, making him laugh again.

“You look very nice yourself, m’lady. I see you got a new dress.” You snort, leaning back on the counter, taking a sip out of your sparkling apple cider. “Against my will. I didn’t even wanna come. These are always so dumb, dad remembers what happened last time he dragged me to one.”

“What happened?” Natasha asks, suddenly at your other shoulder, making you screech, putting a hand to your chest. “Oh my god, don’t do that!” you say taking a deep breath.

“What happened last time?” Natasha asks again, and you groan.

“Accidentally unplugged the sound system after I tripped, flipped over a table trying to hide, and spilled my juice on a very disgruntled man who demanded that I, a 7 year old, pay to replace his suit.” you say, listing them off with your fingers. “At least, that’s what I remember. Yeah, I got grounded for 2 weeks.”

“Alright, I’m gonna go beat Tony up-“ “No!” you say, grabbing Nat’s arm before she could stalk off. “It’s fine.”

🍾🤬

“I’ll give you three seconds to apologize before I make you need to go to a hospital.” you say, flipping your bottle upside down and catching the neck.

“Pfft, as if I would apologize when I know that’s what you want.”

“One.”

“Oh wah, did you not expect that? Come on baby-“

“TWO.”

“I know you’ll love it, your pretty little lips wrapped around my-“

SMACK!

The sound echoes throughout the ballroom, then a dull thud as the man hits the floor. You look down at him, hitting his leg with the heel of your stilettos.

“Hahahahahaha, I’m sure everything’s fine- Y/n what did you do?” Your father asks, and you crinkle your face.

“I only gave him what he deserved, Daddy. Such a vile man shouldn’t be around children, I’m sure his wife would love to know that.” you say, raising your voice. “He tried to rape me.”

You saw the way his face fell, then anger filled his eyes with fire. “He what, honey?”

“I believe his exact words were, and I quote, ‘Come on baby, I know you’ll love it, your pretty little lips wrapped around my fat cock while I fuck your throat until you can’t speak for a week.’” You see Loki stalking towards you through the crowd, people moving out of his way, almost like the air around him was poison.

“Are you alright?” Loki asked when he reached you, looking you over. If there was so much as a scratch on his best friend, he may just end back up in the dungeons on Asgard.

“Oh no, I’m fine. But he’s probably not.” you say, and Loki looks down as you kick the man for good measure. “Didn’t know an apple cider bottle would do that much, though. Would’ve thought it’d take a few more hits to knock him out. Which would have let me beat his face in with no consequences, but oh well.”

Your last three words were higher pitched, almost like you were upset. Oh wait, you should be, this man just tried to rape you. Yes, Loki was about to commit an act of murder.

🍾🤬

You didn’t get in trouble, you were actually applauded for defending yourself.

You flop down on your couch back at the Tower, sitting next to Loki. You’d finally gotten out of the dress, and changed into a pair of shorts and a baggy shirt. Within seconds you were snoring.

Loki smiles, shaking his head as he went back to his book. Some things never change.

🍾🤬

Thank you so much for reading! I hope you enjoyed, and I’m glad I got this shit off my brain. It seems as if all I’ve done today is think of writing, but I’ve only written two things! Don’t forget to lmk if u wanna be tagged in the future! (Ignore the fact I’m being lazy I wrote this at 7 and I wanna read. tryna finish quicker)
