those thoughts i had abt zephyr and the wanting to live vs wanting to stop fighting and saying "my name is" and your beloved going "i'll tell them your name if you die" got me so bad they overrode my aversion to the idea of marriage and this happened:
#yaz and 14 of course always them they are living long and mentally ill lives in my phones notes app#the offer of her name as also the opportunity to choose one thats not the doctor#he was telling her abt river#whichis why she says 24 years and also asks if he would marry her#'not proposing just wondering!' skdjfjfh#anyway i think im gonna give them a little shop now#do they marry? depends on if they figure out you can also change your name without marrying#wait can you? idk uk law#idk nl law either#i think you can but its fucking conplicated snd expensive#and you need a good reason so marrying might be the easiest way#he'll think abt his new name for 6 months and by that time he has a little shop so#he'll be like The Shopkeeper :)#and yaz is like. sigh. okay my love who is allergic to having a normal name

There's something I keep seeing in TF141 CoD fic that I find somewhat perplexing.
'He'll take you down to the courthouse in the morning ā¤ļø'
>.>
<.<
No he won't.
Maybe the fic or thot is set in America, or some other such nation, but the fact is that you just can't get married on a single day's notice in the UK. It's a bare minimum of twenty nine days between giving notice and ceremony.
(The only exception to this being if you can prove that you think someone is about to die.)
So, even if it isn't set here, the thought of a day's notice wedding likely wouldn't occur to any of them (except maybe in Vegas, idk). Maybe they don't know what the minimum is, but it likely wouldn't occur to them that they could do it that fast.
Additionally, the standard place for a non-church wedding ceremony isn't the courthouse, it's the registry office. Which he'd probably refer to it as before catching himself in a non-UK setting.
I don't actually know the (likely) fifty seperate sets of laws on this in the US, but I can tell you what the laws are here.
And, as far as I can tell, if the two people live in the same district and there are no immigration concerns, then one of them should be able to give notice. (If they live in different districts, they have to seperately inform both. If there is an immigration concern, it's more complicated still and likely will involve them both.)
(Also, looks like you need to live in a district for only seven days before you count as 'living there'.)
(I'm mostly not sure because I'm a spinster.)
What I do know for sure is that once the twenty nine days are over and the paperwork is all done (it can take longer), you must wed within a year of giving notice.
So there's two dark fic ideas built on UK law for you:
Your CoD man of choice having to keep the reader around for twenty nine days before dragging her to the registry office.
Your CoD man of choice moving to reader's district, waiting for seven days, giving notice, waiting twenty nine days and only then making his move via an unprotected one night stand or what have you.
Ooh, ooh, and I just thought of a third option.
3. Your CoD man of choice using his military occupation and connections to pretend to be mortally wounded to force a quicker notice period before making a ~+*miraculous*+~ recovery after the ceremony. (But I wouldn't count on that being less than a few days at the least.)
(IDK, the military might get special privileges, but I am not putting in the effort to find out what they are.)
That's just what things are like here. Sadly, this also applies to Gretna Green, so no Vegas style weddings in His Majesty's realm T-T.
#cod fic#call of duty x reader#tf 141 x reader#ghost x reader#price x reader#soap x reader#gaz x reader#sorry#it's just been bothering me#i couldn't figure out where to put a read more#again apologies

Wait are you a law graduate actually? Im business law major myself who loves to draw lowk idk why but I always had this stupid assumption that students canāt have hobbies anymore šš
hello anon,
hope youāre good and are having a fantastic time completing your degree!
i APOLOGISE for taking eons to answer this. if youāre still interested in my response, see below.
Thatās right, I read Law in the UK and graduated a few years back. Itās been a while.
I think responsibility and having a hobby is good. I think itās wonderful to be able to dedicate yourself to a good interest alongside a rigorous subject like Law (not to say other disciplines arenāt demanding, but in terms of general attitudes towards certain degrees, Iād say, anecdotally and objectively, this oneās up there). I always enjoyed how different law and drawing are.
Whenever I see a beautiful thing, Iām struck with admiration. Thatās my heart speaking.
Not everyone might have the luxury of maintaining a hobby alongside commitments, but we do have 24 hours in a day, and you can do whatever you want in that time. That freedom of time comes with a lot of conundrums in itself. If I wanted to make room for something in my life, I usually had to trade in something else for it. Usually thatās time. I didnāt maintain the study-hobby streak per se quite so well as a student because I was working 25+ hours a week across two part-time jobs, and I also had other imminent responsibilities.
Cultivate your hobby. Make time for it. Involves a conscious effort, sure, but a lot of rewarding things do. I mean, what else are you going to do when you retire? Work? Haha. Hopefully you wonāt study/work all your life. Especially if you want to retire early, you probably want to do something good and that you enjoy. The goal, I think, is to eventually have time to do the things you want to do if you didnāt have to work.
Do you mind if I leave this excerpt from C.S. Lewis's Learning in War-Time, with you? A paragraph which, in recalling, invokes in me a sense of awe, similar to what I mentioned earlier, and encompasses how I feel about having good interests whilst tying that with commitments:
āThey wanted knowledge and beauty now, and would not wait for the suitable moment that never cameā¦ Men are different. They propound mathematical theorems in beleaguered cities, conduct metaphysical arguments in condemned cells, make jokes on the scaffold, discuss the last new poem while advancing to the walls of Quebec, and comb their hair at Thermopylae. This is not panache; it is our nature.ā
Tangentially to the topic, but if you donāt mind entertaining just one more platitude from me, can I suggest some volunteer work? Not to add to your CV. But as a reminder that thereās a real life to the one inside the screen. Go to food banks. Remind yourself thereās more to life than studies/whatever consumes your time; thereās family, and people. So you don't end up viewing humanity in the abstract.
Maybe you got a little bit more than you bargained for with this Ask, but I hope my reply didnāt come across as overly lofty or ambitious. If you managed to read it all, nice, and if not, *insouciantly shrugs* (ha - jk!).
If something doesnāt make sense, feel free to reach out.
Stay frosty, and remember ā
Hope you have a good rest of the week.
Thanks,

(cw // mentions of sh in case anyone is triggered)
hii itās christmas where i live meaning itās probably not christmas for you (unless you waited hours to finally reply back) but i just wanna say merry christmas and thank you for being there with me during my hard and mentally draining days. itās so hard being on social media without bumping into negativity such as real life news, people debating about bare minimum things such as rights for body autonomy, gay rights, etc, and especially for my case, being shunned by a community of people i thought were friends simply for talking about jonghyun on my posts that solely rely on users to create posts in order for the app to work.
while i wish i donāt want to be super negative all the time, this was exactly how i felt this year. i felt violated, stripped from my pride and tormented ā yet iām expected to be happy all the time and put up a brave face all the time.
the truth is, i hated turning 18 because i couldnāt bare the responsibility of being considered an adult at the face of the law, when i had my childhood partially taken away from me. nobody was there during my mental breakdowns. just because it wasnāt 2022 anymore, doesnāt mean i didnāt face cyber bullying and faced targeted harassment simply for talking about my bias just like any other kpop fan, and people liked to downplay it by telling me to ākeep it to myself.ā i didnāt get to do my dream course at my new college due to my grade, and i felt so fucking shit because iāve done everything in my willpower just to get the same score 3 years in a row, nobody took my mental breakdown seriously. i was sexually harassed and taken advantaged of by several men, because they did not respect my boundaries, used me as my drunken self, and tried to contact me via twitter acting like a kpop fan from london in the comments, when he was a 25 year old man who only saw me for my body. i was overwhelmed with the way the job centre was treating me and making me feel worse for simply asking a question to prevent email spams by sending me to a centre that could help me get to know the basics of using technology. i had a job, but got scammed for 2 weeks worth of work and i never got paid. i lost Ā£500 which i rightfully worked my ass for, even almost passing out due to walking upstairs and having my feet ache over the constant standing for 8 hours for 3 days a week. i never got to go to france and meet my cousins. itās sucks because i was planning this since summer and iāll never be able to go since my parents took the only savings i had to go to africa for a month due to how expensive plane tickets are. i even got fucking pregnant and not to mention, my mum started to act weird around meā¦ and just the way i was treated after turning into an adultā¦ i donāt really wanna go there.
i know it has been a long year, but idk if itās gonna change at all or if itās gonna get worse. i just wanted to have a peace of mind for once. thatās literally my wish for 2024. i just want to be free, to have amazing friends, having a normal life, just like everyone else so i donāt have to always compare myself to people on snapchat who show off their day or shout out their friends for their birthdays. i wish i could get rid of my anxiety symptoms, because now notifications, messages (especially pending ones) and anything that shows a number next to an icon would get me really fucking nervous that it would be a harassing message. i just donāt want guys to take advantage of me, i just want a loyal and sweet first boyfriend/girlfriend that is genuinely there and physically as well as emotionally. i just feel like iām missing out on life just because some stupid systemic ableism in the uk where i was forced to learn at home and be in a special needs class, which can explain why iām socially awkward and donāt know how to be a normal friend.
basically sayingā¦ i just want to be happy. (iām so sorry for the vent i didnāt expect it to be this long loooool)
Merry Christmas!! there's about 10 minutes till Christmas for me. I am so sorry that this past year has been so hard on you. And its horrible that you had to endure all of that I can't even imagine how hard it's been for you. You deserve so much better than what you've received. You deserve respect, care, love, understanding and you deserve happiness and it breaks my heart you've been treated like this by so many people. I just send you the biggest hug and I'm proud of you, I know life has been hard but I'm proud of you for continuing. And I can't promise when, but things will get better and one day before you know it you will have the happiness you want and deserve and I will always be here to listen and talk to you.

To me all that is a little strange because where I'm from lawsuits will get to you through the post but in the US the person who's job it is to serve you has to hand the envelope to you. //
iām not 100% sure, but i think this is because people can claim that they never received the court documents if theyāre sent through mail which would be an issue. with a process server, thereās a physical witness that can confirm or deny if someone is lying about having not received any papers.
on a second note, i thought about her being in the uk as a major issue in why it was so difficult to serve her. idk the laws but would it be possible for her to be served while she is out of the country the case was supposed to take place in? she was served as soon as she got to the usa, so i donāt think jason had iāll intentions considering he was on a different continent and itās the process servers in charge of serving. she was traveling between coachella and london so cinemacon serving mustāve been the easiest and there were hundreds of witnesses so it was a clean serving. idk why she would open the envelope onstage in the middle of a presentation instead of waiting until she was finished. i know for a fact it was her team that announced it was custody papers in the envelope because only her and jason would know what she was given. she probably did that to make herself the victim when sheās not the only person to be served in public or at work (people have been served at ongoing funerals, Ciara on stage during a concert, during business meetings at offices, etc,. sheās not special lol).
This was all discussed when it happened. A person can be served internationally if the claimant pays the cost of hacing it done. Olivia was dodging the process server.

like
you kill him on the battlefield and that's almost fair. It was reasonable at the time and honourable and he knew it could happen. But.
your army hits him so violently, so many times, even after his death that 527 years later people look at him and can tell his brains were spilling out and that his helm was probably bashed into his head
if that's not enough, you strip him of all his clothes, put him on horseback and carry him around like a trophy, all while spearing him in the butt (signs still visible on his pelvis bone. 527 years later).
you expose his dead body (clothed? Idk) in the square of Leicester so everyone can make sure he's dead, then proceed not to give him a burial (some local friars had to tend to it, probably illegally because there were stories circulating about his body being thrown into the river. The friars couldn't even dig a proper hole so he spent 527 years with his head propped up. The friary and tomb were then forgotten and covered by a car park).
you go on to shit on his reputation, delete almost all documents pertaining to his reign, threaten historians into talking shit about him, possibly murder his two nephews, definitely murder the whole rest of his family (including his two children), and just make sure no one can say anything good about him for years. but yeah, sure, marry his niece so "the houses are reunited"
the Tudors were long gone by the time he was found again and given a proper burial (finally), but somehow they still found a way to ruin that, too. There is a law in the UK that says that any human remain that is discovered is reburied in the closest consecrated land: fair enough. The closest consecrated land was the Leicester cathedral: fair enough, it existed already and Richard might have even prayed there. But wait: they gave him an anglican service. Hm, who started the Anglican church? Oh. Right. The son of the man who had him brutally slaughtered and who shamed his body publicly. How could I forget. So even half a millennia after his death he was denied a Catholic burial, despite being a notoriously pious man (one of the few things we have left of him is a Book of Hours, annotated similarly to his mum by Richard himself) and instead gave him an anglican rite just to belittle him even further.
And to this day, for people to know who you're talking about, you have to say "the king who might have murdered his nephews" or "the one who has a Shakespeare play about how much he sucks".
sometimes I'll just think about how history and the tudors treated Richard III and my blood pressure will reach an all time high
#blood: seething#face: livid#hotel: trivago#this man literally lived his whole life to grant himself a pristine reputation and this is what he gets for it#most modern relationships should aspire to be as loving as the one he and Anne shared#his policies were used up until the 17th century because of how good they were#he was literally known for putting equality above status and helping the poor#people today could learn a couple things from him and just#it's so unfair I am so angry#richard iii#also tell me why he couldn't be buried next to his wife his son or even his brothers or parents#the only connection he had to Leicester was that he died in a nearby field#I know that's the law but come on. I understand if it applies to unknown remains but he was very much known.

h and y/n are like cuddled on the sofa having deep convos and theyāre like massaging eachother?? super duper fluffy please!!š·š°
okay for some reason this is both sad and fluffy, and idk how we got here
warnings: touches on sensitive topics in the current news
May 24th 2022
The BBC News was playing in the background and the clock struck 10 PM.
You and Harry were snuggled down deep on the couch, Harry spooning you from behind. One of his arms was helping keep his head up to peer over your body, whilst his other draped casually around your waist. You were both facing the TV, but neither of you were actually watching it.
Brixton ONO had finished a couple of hours before and you couldnāt be more proud of him and what heās achieved. The rest of the band had gone out in London to celebrate, along with crew and some members of management, but Harry decided to come home with you instead.
He would always come home to you.
āThe news is so sad at the moment.ā You pointed out after watching the headlines.
āItās because the world is so fucked up at the moment. Itās just, we donāt see it daily because we live on our little familiar bubble.ā
āI just struggle to live every day freely when those people are suffering in Ukraine and thereās school shootings to innocent children. Then the cost of living crisis in the UK. Itās all just so fucked, H, and it makes me terrified to bring this one into the world.ā You took his hand and rubbed it over your still flat belly.
You were only a few weeks into your pregnancy so thereād be no bump for a while. Harry couldnāt wait for it to start showing though. So much so he would make you wear the tightest top he could find and judge whether there was any difference in bump from the day before. You kept reminding him that it was just your extra belly pouch. He loved on it all the same though.
āI would hope that our love for this little one would be enough to keep them safe and healthy.ā Harry answered, calming you down by kissing along your neck.
āYouāre going to be such a good dad, H.ā
āYeah? And youāll be an even better mum. In fact, yāalready are. Keeping them all safe and warm.ā Harry squeezed your belly a little tighter, as is he were giving the baby a hug.
āH, itās a literally just a blob right now.ā You laughed.
āA blob that I love.ā He laughed back, kissing your cheek because he couldnāt quite reach your lips.
āOkay, off topic, but that reminds me. Have you seen all that shit with the abortion laws in America?ā You felt Harryās arm tighten around your stomach.
āYeah. It makes me feel so sick that men in high powers think they can just take away womens rights, as if theyāve ever owned a uterus before.ā Harry shook his head.
āAnd if weāre raped it still doesnāt constitute an excuse for an abortion? I mean what kind of sick and medieval law is that?ā You exclaimed, feeling yourself get riled up over this issue.
You turned so you were now laying on your back instead of your front and turned your head to face Harry, who was looking at you with awe. His hand stayed placed on your stomach and your hands went and sat on-top of his.
āI know, baby. Itās fucked, Iām sorry.ā
āHarry, itās not you who should be apologising. I mean of course I, we, have a voice in this, but we shouldnāt be louder than the people who actually have been through these situations. Their stories need to be heard and they are the ones that deserve apologies.ā
āYouāre right. Do you know anything that we can do?ā Harry asked, always wanting to be the first one to join the rally.
āSpread awareness on the media. Sign petitions and call up local offices. Voices need to be heard, so make everything as public as possible.ā You explained and Harry nodded his head in agreement.
āI could donate to some womenās rights visitors too.ā
āWe both can.ā You raised your hand to cup his cheek, because you wanted to remind him that it were a team and youād face all of this together. āSorry, by the way.ā
Harryās eyebrows furrowed and he slid his hand underneath your t-shirt so he could softly rub the skin there. āWhat for?ā
āFor you having to lay here and listen to me rant about sad issues, when you could be out with your friends celebrating your success.ā
Harry chuckled, leaning down to kiss your lips softly. It had been ten minutes too long since youād last tasted his lips and you couldnāt help but moan at how good he still tasted. He was so perfect and his plump lips fit perfectly between yours.
āYou could never be sorry for that, baby, because I would rather be here, with you, than out there, with them. I celebrate my success by spending time with you and getting to be happy. Seeing that smile on your face is success enough.ā He kissed your lips again and you let it last a little longer this time.
āYouāre the best, ever.ā You smiled up at him.
āAnd I thought that was you?ā

Got tagged by a couple of people/saw a mutual do it
Multitudes of (A)bsence / Monimuotoiset puutteet
https://archiveofourown.org/works/24717583/chapters/59745241
This is my one and only original work. It's a short poem with an English and Finnish versions, about being aroace, demigender and atheist.
I was inspired to write it when I was reading Jenna Clare's poetry book, she's ace and Finnish American, so I decided to get her book because I am also two of those things. It's a beautiful book but at one point it talked of god in a way that it really hit, all the things I'm lacking.
I Never Really Let You Go
https://archiveofourown.org/works/28260108
Just before Xmas, me and Grey-Haven (not on tumblr anymore) where talking about Lucas Bryant I guess and I lamented how impossible being able to watch Playing House (2006) has been. She, being in the UK, was able to purchase it on youtube and we watched it through some microsoft thing.
It was super funny and Lucas was absolutely perfect. So perfect that I wanted to write fic even after only one watch. I've since ordered both the book the movie was based on and a region free dvd from Australia, both of which I am still waiting for but should get them quite soon.
Also, this fic was more popular than I expected, I have lots of fics that struggle to reach 10 hits and this one has almost 40. Tagging the female lead maybe helped? Idk
Drabbles on Touch
I managed to write 9 chapters for Drabbles on Touch which I think is pretty good :
31. Dance (3x12 Reunion) (2020-03-30)
32. Fur (2020-08-14)
33. 1x8 PDA with Jess 1 (at the station) (2020-09-06)
34. 1x8 Almost sex with Jess (2020-11-02)
35. 1x8 PDA with Jess 2 (goodbye) (2020-09-07)
36. 1x8 Audrey's Cheek kiss (2020-09-12)
37. He Should Have Known (1x9) (2020-09-26)
38. Hands (1x9/1x10) (2020-11-01)
39. Accidental Touches (1x12 Resurfacing) (2020-10-04)
https://archiveofourown.org/works/11000235/chapters/24503604
It's Only Touch (All He Has Left)
I wrote an extra chapter for this that actually touches on a lot of the ideas I had about the fic but didn't end up including when I first wrote this.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/13596324/chapters/58917880
What a Waste of a Good Boner (4x7 AU)
Some fun little Nathan/Audrey smut fic I thought should exist.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/24738766?view_full_work=true
Next up are a couple of fun multi-chapter fics I'm delighted that I managed to write and finish within 2020:
East Haven Seadogs vs West Haven Cutters
https://archiveofourown.org/works/23750812/chapters/57042253
4 chapters of various stories about this silly little small town little league baseball rivalry. First Nathan pov in 2x4, then Audrey learns to appreciate baseball through Lexie and then James Wuornos' first game with his little sister in attendance and finally, I hit the 2020 pandemic, includes Nathan's childhood memories, including James Garrick and Duke.
Heir to the Herald
https://archiveofourown.org/works/22099819/chapters/52743043
I started 2020 by properly reading The Colorado Kid. I was really taken with Stephanie McCann and rereading the pilot script inspired me to write a combination of all 3. Post canon, someone needs to run the Herald and Stephanie is perfect for the job.
Christmas Party in July
https://archiveofourown.org/works/27899377/chapters/68318356
I know there were some prompts about this in July bcus Haven's 10 year anniversary but I wasn't inspired to read or write about this then. Because I don't even like this episode much. But rewatching it on its anniversary, I did find myself inspired to write about the aftermath of the party. Heavy still-one-sided Nathan/Audrey.
And then I thought about that calm bit in s5a and how that was probably in July. And the Paige is not as different from Audrey as one might think. It was fun to write these as almost advent thingies.
----
Moving on from fic, I absolutely loved Lucas' Country at Heart movie and especially the song, A Life in a Love, that he performs. I couldn't help but notice how well some lyrics with Haven, so I did graphic for all the lyrics. It's in many parts and I still think I might do Jennifer/Duke graphic for the last chorus, but that's not happening too soon. But I'm very happy with these and that I managed to do the Audrey pov before the year ended.
https://demisexualnathanvuornos.tumblr.com/tagged/a-life-in-a-love
Ever since it was established that Nathan was a Pet Shop Boy fan, I wanted to do a graphic about it. I even researched ages ago that in 1983/4 West End Girls would be the most likely song he had heard from them and it mentions 'Finland station', so it was perfect. But I then never really started to properly work on it and then I almost forgot it. Until I made those ALiaL graphic and I managed to finish these ones two. Needed to do it in two parts because it works better that way.
https://demisexualnathanvuornos.tumblr.com/tagged/pet-shop-boys
All in all, 2020 wasn't too bad a year for me, creatively. I could give special shoutouts to my Duke Sterling fic (now with a wip sequal), and fics for Lucas' two earlier Xmas movies, Merry In-Laws and A Very Merry Daughter of the Bride. Links available upon request or I might add them myself later.

Idk I think Phil would propose but they've been together so long they would probably talk about it first/Dan would have to hint at it which might take away some of the romance lol. Phil seems very go with the flow and neither of the Lester boys seemed rushed on that front- I think Martyn and Cornelia have been together for just as long as dnp (maybe?not sure). Also the whole 'an unhappy marriage is just a bit of paper' comment, which may be true but how Dan reacted makes me think he's more into the idea. Strange because Phil's the one who has my parents had a happy marriage vibes.
Of course I could be way off and Phil's had a ring he got last year in Japan hidden in his sock drawer and has just been waiting for Dan to finish his book before proposing, which is currently my preferred head canon lol.
as someone who has never been in a long term relationship, i dont think my view on proposal is the most experienced, but thats not gonna stop me from sharing it :) i dont think discussing marriage/proposals before the offical thing takes away from the romance, honestly i think its somewhat necessary since marriage is a big life choice to make, and you want to be on the same page. I think that the actual proposal itself should never come as a surprise, but the when and where can be. also idk phil/dans personal preference on marriage, perhaps they never want to (i think laws in the UK are similar for de facto couples and married couples so it wouldnt have a difference)Ā
i think phil would try to pull some grand romantic gesture and itd go wrong but that would just make it more endearing. As for Japan 2.0 ... i feel like if there hasĀ been a proposal, then it definitely would've happened then

Umbrella academy hogwarts au? I feel like 5 would be a slytherin. Would he be in a younger year than everyone else, kinda like in your pride and prejudice AU?
HMMM i think if i was ever to go for a real hogwarts au and not just gently dumping all the characters into the hp world for a laugh (they make it so easy with fiveās mystery jump at the end of s1 lmao) then it would have to start from like. the very beginning and together. as Actual Kids.
(p&p au is a bit different bc itās a no-powers-period-drama type au)
weāre not going to explain why hogwarts is getting some american kids bc i donāt have the brainpower rn to think of why. maybe reginald trained them in the US in this au and then moved them to the UK in the months preceding their debut for whatever reason which officially makes them a Hogwarts Problem now idk
lemme put this under a read more
so instead you have Five at like, ten-and-three-quarters years old. Theyāre scheduled to debut in front of the entire world very soon. Five has bruises on his skin and anger in his heart, even as young as he is.
(Heās not the worst off. Klaus has screaming nightmares and bags under his eyes so dark he looks like a raccoon. Ben hasnāt spoken a word in two weeks after his last special training session with their dad. Diegoās arm is in a cast where sparring with Luther went wrong a week or so ago.)
And Five is the curious child, the challenging child. Heās a constant buzz of need to know, have to know, have to move move moveĀ and part of that is knowing everything thatās going on in the house. With his power to jump, he knows allĀ the good spying spots. He knows which rooms are above the others, knows which vents have sound that carry, knows the spots he can prop himself in and see but not be seen.
So when thereās someone knocking on the front door, Five sneaks into one such spot and looks - because no oneĀ knocks on their door, ever. Reginaldās door is never knocked upon by girl scouts or friendly neighbors or salesmen. Itās like, a rule. So heās curious who it is, and he crouches down to watch and to listen.
Grace is the one who answers the door (Pogo tends to keep out of sight of guests, when he can) and offers the severe looking woman a dazzling smile. Five thinks sheāll be turned away, but Grace nods and gestures her inside and tells her to wait right there as she fetches Mr. Hargreeves -Ā
His dad comes, looking just as severe as the woman does and twice as intimidating. And then the woman opens her mouth to speakĀ and -Ā
Magic?
Them?
A boarding school?
And Five doesnāt really think theyāre magic. Yeah, unexplained things happen around them all the time (Klausās lightbulbs were constantly being replaced when he bolted out of a nightmare screaming and they blew or shattered or whatever) but thatās just part of their powers, right?
But a boarding school. Thatās promising. Even if they arenātĀ magic or whatever, even if this school is for insane people - anythingĀ is better than here. And itās not foster care, right? If itās a schoolĀ then thereās no issue of them being split up, being torn apart. Theyāre a family, and Five has been trying desperately to think of a plan to get them out since he was seven-and-a-half
Of course, Reginald says no. Denies everything. Refuses to acknowledge the woman and sends her out.
And Five has about three seconds for his quicksilver mind to run back over the conversation, to pick up on the womanās bristling and comments about controlĀ and communityĀ and you canāt hide magic foreverĀ and -
Five jumps, in a flash of blue, and pops out in front of the woman outside. She startles with wide eyes.Ā āWhat on earth - ā
āWhat happens if a magical child wants to attend but their non-magical guardians do not.ā Five asks the woman, hands clenched into fists by his sides.
The woman stares at him for a long time,Ā āIt would depend on the circumstances - ā
Thatās a bullshit answer if Fiveās ever heard one, and he cuts her off.Ā āIf a magical child needs to be trained, could they achieve that going around a guardian? What are the laws concerning education?ā
The woman looks over her shoulder, back towards the manor. She looks bemused that this tiny slip of a child is confronting her like this outside of the knowledge of his parents.
Five grits his teeth, because this is a low risk high reward situation. If the woman leaves - whatever, no skin off his back or however that saying goes. If she canĀ get them out and going to this fancy boarding school so that theyāre only within Reginaldās sphere of influence during the break times - well.Ā
Five has a hunch, and plays it without mercy.
āHeās not our biological father. He bought us. We have - we do things no else can do. Magic? He wants us to be superheroes. Heās got something planned, to show us off to the whole world. Us and our powers.ā
If the womanās face had gotten tight at the beginning of Fiveās words, itās aghast at the end of it. So Five is correct - if magic wasĀ real, then Five should have already heard about it. If it is and he hasnāt, that means that the magic people are exceptionallyĀ good at keeping secrets.Ā
Which means Reginald and his planned publicity works in Fiveās favor.Ā
āIāll see what can be done.ā The woman says grimly.
But thereās something Five needs confirmation of, because itās important.Ā āIf one of us goes, we all go.ā He tells the woman, feet planted shoulder width apart and hands curled into fists with the thumbs on the outside. Ready for a fight.Ā āWe stay together.ā
(Vanya doesnāt have powers, like the rest of them. But Five will be damned before he leaves her behind in this house by herself, not when Reginald hardly cares if she lives or dies.)
The woman blinks, waves her hand like that was never the problem.Ā āThere are seven children at this address, yes? If thatās all of you, you all have places at Hogwarts.ā
Five, who was geared up to defend his position and smuggle Vanya with him in a suitcase if necessary, melts back.Ā āThere are seven of us.ā Five says, cautious and careful,Ā āBut - yes. There are seven of us.ā
(He almost tells her that Vanya isnāt magic, but if they think she is then heās not going to try and persuade them otherwise. Heāll figure something out for later, when they realize sheās ordinary. Heāll find a way to fake magical powers for her or something.)
āIāll be back.ā The woman tells him, looking serious. Then she raises a stick in the air (what?) and something happensĀ and she just - warps in place and vanishes. It makes Five jump back, startled.
What was that? That wasnāt - that wasnāt jumping. Not the way he does it. But - she vanished? Thereās no blue light but it looks so much like what he does that he canāt help but doubt. Are there variations of his power? Are there lotsĀ of people who can jump?
Suddenly this wholeĀ āmagic schoolā thing is looking more like something exciting to look forward to instead of just a convenient escape route.
Five hovers for a few seconds, before jumping himself. It wouldnāt do to be found lurking outside of the manor when he isnāt supposed to be permitted outside at all, after all.Ā
He waits with baited breath until a week later he wakes up to yelling and scrambles for the door. He can see his other siblings coming out as well in the pajamas, all of them exchanging looks and agreeing as one to creep quietlyĀ to figure out whatās going on.
Whatās going on isnāt quiet at all. Thereās a dozen men and women downstairs, including the woman that Five spoke to the week before. They all looks very official, and they all have sticks like the woman did. Does.Ā
Reginald looks furious.
Theyāre all crouched in Fiveās spot, the good one where if you stay still no one would notice you between the banisters but you get an unobstructed view. The key is if you stay still. One of them moves, or makes a noise, or whateverĀ and one of the peopleās eyes snap up to look directly at them.
They all freeze.
āYou might as well come down here, children.ā One woman says, looking distinctly unimpressed.Ā āThis involves you, after all.ā
They look to Reginald, but he says nothing. He doesnāt even look at them at all, though they can see the muscle in his jaw tightening.Ā
The travel carefully down the stairs, single file, in order. Klaus and Ben hold hands as they go down, and Five looks back frequently to make sure that everyone is present, including Vanya.Ā
āIām afraid,ā The woman from the week before speaks up in her Scottish brogue,Ā āThat is has come to our attention thatā¦ your guardian can no longer provide you with the necessary education you require by law.ā
She keeps going, explaining to them about magic. Five can see Vanya at the end of their little like, getting more and more pale by the second. Five heard most of this speech the day before, so itās easy for him to duck out of their little line and bump Klaus and Ben over so that he can stand by her side.
He takes her hand in his, not caring about how Luther and Allison are shooting him looks. He squeezes tightly and, after a second, she squeezes back.
Theyāre in language classes with Grace together, so itās easy to him to tap against her hand.
n-o g-o w-o u
Not going without you. Vanya is still pale, but she squeezes Fiveās hand and stops looking like sheās going to pass out on the floor.Ā
āAs such,ā The woman is continuing,Ā āYou will be attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. You will be staying with me until the start of the term, during which time we will sort out permanent living arrangements.ā
āWeāre not coming back?ā Luther demands loudly, looking frightened. Five would almost feel bad if he didnāt remember the fact that Luther was still recovering from a concussion from private training that he still would talk about.Ā āBut - what about dad?ā
āYour father is not equipped to deal with magical children.ā The woman tells them, actually quite diplomatically. Five can read between the lines though to where sheās actually saying this man is an abusive fuck who shouldnāt have been permitted to care for a cactus let alone seven entire human beings.
āWe stay together?ā Five pipes up, staring holes into the strangers in his house.Ā āNo matter what, we stay together, right?ā
The woman inclines her head,Ā āWe will do our utmost to ensure it, Mr. - ā
She pauses for him to fill in his name, and he can feel the panicked look Luther is shooting him. Heās the worst one to ask for his name, because he gave up his chance for a name so Vanya could have one.
Luther is shaking his head, trying to get Fiveās attention to signal him to not answer, but Five lifts his chin up high. He is not ashamed as he puts the final nail in Reginaldās coffin.
āNumber Five. Iām Number Five.ā
The expressions on every adults face are priceless and drive home just how not ordinaryĀ that is. Just how terrible it is to have a number instead of a name. Five doesnāt understand it - he likesĀ his name, thank you - but that doesnāt mean heās not willing to use it as a weapon to put another knife in Reginaldās back.
And thatās how, against some of their protests (mainly Luther, who protests leaving Reginald, and Diego, who protests leaving Grace) all of the kids end up in the house ofĀ āProfessor McGonagallā who at this point is just. resigned to these kids being weird as fuck
(to be valid she first met Five apparently apparating with a) 0 training and b) without even a wand what the fuck)
Theyāre all just. Really confused? They all report for breakfast bright and early and McGonagall hasnāt even had her morning coffee yet and sheās just kind of likeĀ āyeah you kids do whatever, settle in and all that. weāll go to diagon alley and pick up school supplies and all that laterā
and it is bizarre. The kids stick close to one another, watch all the weird magic shit going down with careful eyes, and then they get their wands. Five almost has a fit because what if they find out Vanya isnāt magicalĀ and heās about two seconds away from using his own shiny new wand (that had let out a bright blue light reminiscent of the one that came with his powers) when Vanya picks one up and waves it and manages to blast through three shelves.
The wand maker looks absolutely delighted at this destruction of the shop and all of them gape at Vanya because they were not expecting her to be magical. And clearly Vanya wasnāt expecting to be magical either, because sheās pale and shocked as the wand maker plucks the destructive wand from her hand and pops another one in.
All seven of them walk out with their brand new wands, and Vanya and Five hold hands tightly. Half in relief and half in alarm.
When they talk later, hushed whispers camped out in freshly transfigured beds, they come to the conclusion that some witches and wizards just needĀ the stick to do things and that the rest of the Umbrella Academy is kind of weird. (McGonagall lectured Five at length about apparating and not doing it while he made various faces)
The kids survive until term starts and Professor McGonagall takes the to a train station and drops them off and tells them that sheāll see them at the school. They take up an entire compartment by themselves and talk at length about what magic school is going to be like.
Luther is still withdrawn and sullen over being taken away from Reginald, Diego is still sad about Grace, Allison has her head held high and is determined to make a good impression and finally meet some new people outside of her siblings, and Klaus is loud but in the way that means heās anxious, Ben is speaking again but is still far too quiet, Five has read all of their schoolbooks already and is practically vibrating in place with the need to know everythingĀ and Vanya -Ā
Vanya is off her meds. She didnāt want Professor McGonagall to decide she was broken or not good enough or anything because she was on anxiety medication. Any mishaps within the McGonagall house have so far been chalked up to accidental magic (and some of it actually had been). This is important for later.
They change into their robes (just another uniform) and disembark and get to Hogwarts and stand in the Great Hall and listen to the Sorting Hat sing and then - itās their turn to be sorted.
Luther is all Gryffindor bullheaded stubbornness and an insistence on what he thinks is right, proud and strong. Allison is Slytherin ambition and drive to her bones, clawing her way to the top and making sure she will stay there. Diego is Gryffindor impatience and need to prove himself, doing what is right even if it is outside the law. Klaus is Slytherin cunning and resourcefulness, sneaking out and getting what he needed under the nose of a tyrant (though since leaving the house, drugs have been noticeably absent from his possessions). Ben is Ravenclaw knowledge and hiding behind books, quiet words and hungry eyes. Vanya is Ravenclaw hard work and well gained knowledge, passion for her difficult art and determination to be good at something.
Five gets up there, and the Sorting Hat hums.Ā
Five is made of loyalty that could weather an apocalypse. He is a boy who had a power perfect for running away and keeping away, but who stayed because he couldnāt bear to leave his siblings. Five is a child who, every time he got knocked down, he got back up again. Five is a child who has hard workĀ pressed into the marrow of his bones, who never gives up and neverĀ gives in.
Five is driven by knowledge and a need to know. His hunger consumes him, always pushing at boundaries that perhaps would be safer for his health to leave untouched. Always testing and twisting and seeking more. He is bright and smart and one of his very first words was why.Ā
Five is cunning and careful, twisting words and bending rules and scraping everything he can from a bad situation. He is the boy who had a split second to think, who jumped outside and confronted a stranger and went off of a hunch and won it all. The boy who had so few resources to work with, but twisted and pulled at them until they were enough. If getting his entire family out of Reginaldās house intact was not the very definition of ambitious, then nothing is.
Hufflepuff. Ravenclaw. Slytherin.
Choose your own adventure, choose your fighter.
Five would probably prefer Ravenclaw, in a house with two of his favorite siblings. Perhaps he would choose Slytherin, because Klaus is fragile and he doubts Allison will protect him and Five has always been protective of his family.Ā
(Klaus is stronger than the family thinks, away from the mausoleum and the memories. Heāll have Slytherin house wrapped around his finger before they know what hit them, will eventually fall in love with a Hufflepuff transfer student named Dave, will eventually be happy.)
Maybe Five is alone in Hufflepuff, a house too kind and too soft for the sort of jagged edges he has. But maybe thatās what he needs. Maybe he doesnāt need a house to sharpen his claws against, to sharpen his words or his mind. Maybe he needs somewhere safe, where people take his hand and show him how to tickle the pear to get into the kitchens and teach him how to play exploding snap and who look the other way when he sneaks out to visit his siblings at night.
(Whatever they can do outside of their wand waving, they discover, it isnāt magic. Or at least, not what the magical world seems to consider magic. They figure this out because apparently Hogwarts is warded against apparating within the grounds.
This doesnāt seem to stop Five.)
Thereās so much that needs to be done. The wizarding world is still rebuilding. Itās 2000, scarcely three years after everything went down.Ā
VanyaāsĀ āmagicā seems to act up and no one can figure out why (even the family doesnāt realize itās because she has non-magical powers like the rest of them. how could they? their entire lives Vanya had been ordinary.)
(when the revelation comes, Allison remembers her orders, remembers a small quiet room she was brought and told to say terrible things. They all weather the storm of Vanyaās fury together, magical shield summoned in a technique probably too advanced for their age but Ben is a natural until they finally managed to stun her.Ā
later, they all sit together in the hufflepuff common room, curled up on the sofas with mugs of hot chocolate stolen from the kitchens, regardless of if any of them are even in the house. at the very least Five has a talent for wriggling his way into areas he isnāt supposed to be in. they drink the hot chocolate, and contemplate their lives living with a man who would order something like that.Ā
they are grateful, even luther, of the turn their lives had taken. it would have been so very easy for McGonagall to walk away, to trust that they would be homeschooled or sent abroad or whatever. they are free, and they are thankful)
there is, of course, still the issue of what to do with the seven magical children once their first year comes to an end. they could stay with professor mcgonagall again, perhaps. despite being generally no nonsense, sheās always had a soft spot for the troublemakers (and the Hargreeves, despite best efforts, fall soundly into that category)
maybe they end up staying with some empty nesters. Molly and Arthur Weasely have no children left staying at home since Ginny moved out, and theyāre used to dealing with large numbers of magical children. Diego would thrive under Mrs. Weasleyās attention even as he would feel guilty for loving anyone but Grace.Ā
maybe McGonagall calls in a favor, maybe she contacts her old students. She knows a boy who was an orphan himself, who knows what it means to be too skinny and too wary and to not want to go home at the summers. An orphan boy with wealth enough to take care of seven orphans with no problems, who would be glad to take on several wards if it was a favor to his old professor.Ā
(Harry Potter is only 20, but the war aged him. Aged all of his generation, really. There are lots of orphans in the wizarding world, and he is one of them.)
or maybe their arrangements are something else entirely.
The important thing though, is that despite everything they stay together. They might not have the Academy anymore, they might not belong to Reginald, but they are familyĀ and they stick by one another.
They protect one another, through means both magical and not.
(If you think Diego is giving up his knives, you are very incorrect about that.)

ā¦ MEGAN FOX, CIS WOMAN, SHE/HER ā¦ CAROLINE MCKAY the THIRTY-FOUR year old has been in Manchester for TWELVE YEARS. The LAWYER is said to be WITTY but also SHORT-TEMPERED but I guess weāll find out for ourselves.
general
full name: caroline amelia mckay
age: thirty-four
date of birth: april 9th, 1986
hometown: london, uk
sexuality: heterosexual
current residence: manchester, uk
appearance
hair color: dark-brown
eye color: blue
height: 5'7ā
biography
caroline mckay was beautiful. thatās what people had said about the woman her entire life. that she was beautiful, never that she was intelligent or kind or gracious, but that she was beautiful.
born to an upper middle class family, her mother the doting housewife to her father, a financial broker, the earliest memories caroline has of her childhood are in dressing rooms, her mother spraying her down with far too much hairspray, and the bright flashes of spotlights a queue to smile wider. sheād done pageants for as long as she knew, some days it felt like all she knew. but caroline had always been so much more than that.
throughout her childhood and teen years, she was rung throughout the competitive pageant circuit, everyone assuming it had been what she wanted to do. and maybe it had been, for a short time, but in between dress fittings and rehearsals, caroline had her head in the books, a surprise to anyone who saw it.
but having a practical job hadnāt been in the cards for care, who was homeschooled until she graduated, pageants becoming her full time job. she remembered arguing with her parents in her early teens, as silly as it was, that she wanted to be something beyond just beautiful. they turned their nose at it, acting as if caroline had purposely wasted all their money that had been put into herĀ āfuture.ā she hadnāt wanted to hurt her parents, so she stuck around, smiling for the judges and telling everyone what they wanted to hear. sheād gotten awful good at that too, reading people, knowing just what they wanted her to say. it became a second nature to her, even if it wasnāt quite the same as lying.Ā perhaps the only time she felt herself telling the truth was when she was on stage, ironic as it is.Ā
at age 21, it finally happened. it had been what everyone was waiting for, caroline had been crowned miss england, chosen to go onto compete in the miss world competition. everyone in her life was ecstatic for her, everyone except her, of course. maybe it was the reality that had set in, the reality that if she went on, this would become her life. sheād remain a pageant girl, known for that and nothing else. but there were no good words to say, no words that would explain that caroline wanted out, while keeping everyone else happy.Ā
caroline couldnāt have been more relieved to lose the miss world competition. even if she had placed in the top 15, there was something about the event, seeing the tears stream down her motherās eyes that gave her the guts to tell her that she was leaving it all behind, london included.
when caroline returned home following the show, she packed her bags and moved to manchester, enrolling herself into university, going on to later get her law degree, using the money sheād earned from placing. naturally, she got a few looks here and there, but caroline was more than determined to show that she was far more than just a pretty girl
headcanons
very headstrong, does not like to be told what to do. hates compliments about her appearance, despite being programmedĀ to always look nice.Ā
has an older brother!! he plays for manchester united, though the two have never been very close considering how busy caroline was growing up ( wanted connection )
definitely has a weird relationship with her parents. they get along, but under the surface you can tell that thereās a lot of tension and caroline has a bit of resentment towards them for dictating her life for so long
definition of theĀ āsmart than she looksā trope. always has to be right. always has to win.Ā
kind of at the point of her life where she wants a family, but at the same time thereās so much built up childhood trauma she never dealt with <3 so she got some dogs instead but anyways
is nice, like donāt get me wrong, but has a lot of walls up. caroline unintentionally just has to be perfect at all times because thatās literally all she knows how to be. so sometimes she comes off as??? idk??? detached?? she doesnāt mean it though i promise dkfghdfk
as for wanted connections, caroline is brand new now so iām open to literally anything

Jukebox gets drafted into the longest, bloodiest, most desperate war in American history.
Isaac Munger from the Isaac Munger show network and Koā¢ were back from the library. "Trolli! You would not believe what happened!"
Trolli the troll wiped his cheeto hands off on Kos shirt and got up. "Oh, did you see your letter? Sorry, I made it a little orange." He said.
"Trolli, no I just washed her shirt... And no thats not it at all... What is that?"
He opened the letter while Ko chased Trolli around trying to slap him for dirtying her shirt again. "Huh... A letter of draft? But why- oh right, I am 18 now... Darn... But what war?"
The War on Christmas
"this has to be a joke." He said. But it did seem to have official documentation and was signed by General Eisenhower III of the Californian State Militia Enterprise.
"I guess we will have to go down to the military base down the road in a few minutes. Ko, are you coming?"
Ko sat down, tired if trying to catch the weasely Trolli. "Why would I come? I didnt get drafted. Im a girl, box idk if you NOTICED. I guess anime girls can get drafted but I am clearly 3D. Go ask Sakura if she got a letter."
"Sakura? Trolli?"
"No Master."
"Nah br0 I marked myself down as a girl too. What are they gonna do, check? Hahaha. By claiming I am a girl they think im trans and trans people are banned from the military so I cannot get drafted!"
"No Master."
"Dammit, thats how the law works... Wait. I thought I only had one person in this house who called me Master. Which is frankly one too many."
Eji slithered down the stairwell and snuggled up to the box.
"Are you drafted too Eji?"
"No, I am a resident of the UK here on a servitude visa. I cannot get drafted or join the military."
"A servitude visa... Oh my god..." Isaac face-palmed. "Eji you are making this weird."
Eji just grinned. "Where are you going master?"
"Oh I got drafted into the war on Christmas..." Isaac said glumly.
The grin disappeared. "No!! Tell them it was a mistake!"
"Sorry Eji, the Californian State makes no mistakes. You know this."
"Noooooooooo!" Eji cried out clutching Isaac's leg. "I cannot lose you!"
"Ko tell him he is being ridiculous. Ko?"
Ko was clutching Isaac's other leg.
Jukebox sighed. "Fine. I will kiss you goodbye first."
"Yay!"
"Not you Eji."
"Aww..."
After kissing his business partner and girlfriend, both of which were the same person, he headed out in his father's military uniform and a sack on a stick full of his belongings. He had a picture of Ko in his pocket as well.
-Later that day-
Isaac was lined up with two dozen other boys in military uniforms. They had varying degrees of clearly not wanting to be there, except one named Todd Ichabod who seemed gleeful.
The Sergeant was an elderly woman named Callispo Marximillian. She was wielding a cane made of untreated iron and it clanked when she walked around the cement floor. The lights overhead were hot and buzzed with unfeeling anger. One flickered with each clank of the cane.
"Listen up butter boys. We have seen way too many Happy Holiday cups in this blessed state. Liberals spreading their anti-christmas nonsense are everywhere, but they are strongest here in California. We must take back the holiday season no matter the cost, for the dignity of the West! We will bring back the spirit of Christmas stronger than ever before!"
"While I like Christmas myself ma'am, is a military operation really necessary? I mean, we arent being forced to not celebrate Christmas they are just trying to be inclusive by saying happy holidays..." Isaac pointed out, a bit nervous.
"Shut the fuck up private munger. All of you, I will not tolerate this kind of behavior. Now here is the protocol: Tomorrow we will go to Starbucks after Starbucks, and store after store, and spread Christmas cheer all across the town. Say merry Christmas to all of em and make em say it back. Got it?"
"Yes ma'am!" they all said in unison.
"It is actually SIR, boys. I am a woman, but all Sergeants are to be called Sir. I am not your mother, I am not your teacher, or your wife. I am your military commander and you will address me appropriately. Got it?"
"Yes sir!" they all said in unison.
Callispo had one last thing to say "Now remember, if any of em give you trouble you are permitted to use aggressive force. You have belts on, and if that fails you may put em in a headlock till the say Merry Christmas with a smile!" She grinned.
"But Sir... Wouldnt a headlock put pressure on their throat? Which makes it difficult for people to talk and say 'merry Christmas' like this all seems a little..."
Callispo pressed her cane tip against Isaac's chest. "A little what, private? A little AWESOME? Because it is not. It is a lot awesome. We are doing gods work young man, and I do not want to hear another whiny hippy peep about it. Now go take showers yall, you all smell like kicked ass. Except private munger, who smells like a prissy princess who takes bubble baths. Are you a prissy princess boy?!" the other draftees giggled.
"No sir." Isaac said, irritated.
"Louder!"
"NO SIR!!" He shouted as loud as he could.
"Good. Now go clean up, eat, and watch a God's not Dead and a Christmas movie. We got a busy day tomorrow!"
-Meanwhile back home-
Eji paced back and forth, openly distressed. "Ko, do you know what box means to me?! He is the only reason I am still alive... He is the only reason I WANT to still be alive... The world is a hell hole and he is the angel stuck in it."
"Eji please calm down." Ko said. "I know him. He will come marching back like he always does. Remember the trip to Arizona? If he can survive that, he can survive the war on Christmas."
The brit sighed. "I should volentarily signed up... Pretended to be an American... Then I could go protect him... Ohh he is too innocent for war. This could destroy him in more ways than one, oh god.."
Trolli continued eating cheetos and watched them fret. "Guys, I am sure your lover boy will come home. I mean, what could happen, a 5'2 Starbucks employee wastes him? Hah! No."
"You fools keep it down. I am trying to record."
"Spookbox!" Sakura gasped, jumping seemingly out of nowhere. "What are you doing here?!"
"I will be using Isaac's channel while he is away. It is going to be a spooky Christmas. AND I will be reviewing good western cartoons not that anime trash. Oh hey Sakura remember that skit where you killed me? I think it is time I repayed the favor."
"H-Huh? But-"
Spookbox grabbed Sakura and brought her into the recording room while she struggled. "Nooooo! Dont kill meeeeee!"
The others tried to help her but seemed to bang against the black edge of the screen. He had blocked them out.
"Poor Sakura..." Said ko, looking extremely concerned.
"War hurts those at home too." Said Eji, quite astutely. He was pretty smart when not being completely thirsty.
"My Saki... No..." Trolli for once looked genuinely upset like he might cry. "We used to troll Isaac so much together... I will always remember her bathroom prank... What a clever girl... Why cant real girls be that funny and awesome."
"Hey!"
"I did not mean you Ko. Jk yeah I did!" He once again ran around the room with Ko chasing him angrily, trying to find some humor in the situation despite there being none.
"Trolli deals with loss by trolling? Figures..." Eji said. He sighed and sat down on the floor, leaning against the wall. "How will I deal with loss, if Isaac does not return?"

I'm sorry your elections got you down :( I don't live in the UK (live in US which I can say isn't much to be proud of right now either), but I sympathize with it. I know things can suck when the future looks so bad, though things can always change, right? I don't know much about UK politics, so Idk how it works over there. -Prancer
Thank you so much. Itās sad because yesterday I felt so much hope that things were going to get better yāknow? Like maybe finally people will see the damage of the last ten years and want a change? And so many of the young voters, voted in the same way as me, and it really seemed positive.
To wake up to this news is definitely worrying.
This election was a big deal bc of Brexit, a lot of our failing industries etc but thereās a conservative majority (our right wing party) now in parliament which means that for the next five years (apparently its five years due to some new law) the conservatives can pretty much do whatever they like. So change after the five years, maybe, but for now we are sort of stuck with this.
And it seems Brexit was the big reason why so many peoples voted this way, but like? We as a country are a whole lot more than Brexit? Like thereās so many aspects of government that needs to be managed and right now Itās sort of nerve wrecking because I donāt really feel like I can trust the conservative gov with things like our national health service etc. Plus theyāre a party for the rich and it just seems like so many people will be worse off now that the government will basically ignore them.
Our prime minister too, has said such sexist, racist and homophobic things. Heās lied, made excuses and just overall shown time and time again that he shouldnāt be leading our country...and yet here we are.
Sorry to ramble, I donāt mean to bog you down with UK politics. But thanks again for reaching out! Iām going to try and spend the day not thinking about it and do the things I enjoy to get my head away from the fears of uncertainty!
And I promise Iāll reply to your other message! Iām just waiting to use my laptop so I can send you the links for the fics Iāll Rec you! I havenāt had a chance to get on there yet š
