Okay, so I recently reblogged a post about Chase wearing glasses, and of course, as a resident Kaz-lover, I just have to pitch the idea of Kaz needing glasses.

Like, he has a million fuckin siblings, what are the chances that his parents ever made the time to take him to an optometrist. I understand yall want glasses!chase for the simping stuff, but I want glasses!kaz for logistical reasons.

And also because Chase would find it cute, but yknow shut up

Also, I think the funniest part about this is Copy Kaz, that episode where Clyde disguises himself as Kaz to sneak into mighty med, because that means one of two things. 1) Either Kaz used to have glasses and he would've been asked when he got new ones, or 2) Kaz is currently supposed to wear glasses, but because he never does, it'd be more suspicious for this glasses-wearer to be wearing glasses.

Which would be particularly funny if Oliver kept making him wear his glasses while they studied, so he wouldn't lose his fricken mind, and when running into Caz, he's like "dude, where did your glasses go," and Clyde panicks, "I told you to wear them until we take the test, you're gonna strain your eyes!" And Clyde learns that he could've been wearing his glasses this whole damn time.

They are helping to help to free the trolls from slavery, with the help of a beige and red striped Armadillo Bus, named Rhonda with green limbs, a red tongue, and some headlights, she has green eyes with three long eyelashes each, windows and doors over her long body. The villagers give donations for the trolls freedom from slavery, to defeat the Talons Bounty Troll Hunters and never harm them by to protect the nature from threat.

Michelangelo: Joined God's army, to protect the nature from harm and destruction and to save the trolls from slavery.

Donatello: Rhonda, remember focus, the donations for the trolls' freedom. Leo, Raph, Mikey, did we have the paints for the soldiers of the Alpha Sapphire, Harriet healing people, and including the trolls.

Leonardo: What? Are you guys crazy?

Raphael: Please don't call us, Leo and we'll save the trolls from slavery, I hope we're doing good job for helping the trolls from being coming slaves.

Leonardo: (smiled happily) You're right, we are going to save them from the hunters' slavery. (He rolled his eyes and see Harriet and the others arrived at the tent.) A stranger give them food, water and shelter for the trolls. He has green skin, bright green and red eyes. He wore a red and white striped shirt though it seemed too small for him, blue shorts, socks and sandals, with his girlfriend, with a pale purple hair in pigtails with pink hair ties, dark reddish pink eyes, and wearing a light blue dress, white tight and pink Mary Jane flats. They saw them as they arrived they gasped and they ran to tell the people joyfully. The people playing their instruments and they singing along in Afghanistan. The brothers sawed Clay and Viva's new friends singing and dancing with the traditional music.

Floyd: Whoa, looks all the music around here, that's will celebrate the ceremony and then Optimus Primal and the Maximals warriors who guided us to protect them from harm.

Harriet: Attention everybody, Clay have two older brothers and two younger brothers from the land call Nonya, home of the Glade Clan, their leader was Clay's grandfather, his grandfather's land passed to his father Thorn was the clan's leader of Wildglade, 20 years ago today, we honored Clay's father sacrifice himself to save them from Hernan Reyes' threats, he passed to his son, Clay's brother Branch, youngest son of Thorn and Ivy of the Glade Clan. (The people cheered on the brothers and they continued to dance and singing.)

The brothers walked as they smiled happily at them, the hunters gasped and looked at the people dancing and playing their instruments, they ran into the church and warned Dante Reyes about the Wildglades ceremony and the music around here.

Branch recovered from the fall and slowly got up, he spoke out to them. The turtles ran and seemed the ceremony, Rudy Reyes had a nephew and a niece who navy blue suit, metallic silver armors and black belt around their waist, they saw the Wildglades and the other people and their children were smiling at them.

Branch: I am Branch, youngest son of Thorn and Ivy of the Glade Clan. I am the youngest son of leader and also, since the land was my grandfather's land passed to my father Thorn, my father became the clan's leader. I was born and raised by our mother, Ivy and my grandmother, Rosiepuff since 20 years ago today, my father sacrifice himself to save me, my brothers, John Dory, Spruce and Floyd, I'm glad the Maximals warriors save my brother, Clay and his friend named Viva, God want to send all the trolls free from slavery.

Leo, Raph and Mikey whispered to Donnie, about the Wildglades, they're heard about Clay's father sacrifice himself to save them from the hunters. Abby and Travis ran and sit on the chairs. They held the candlelight vegils to the leader of Glade Clan. Victoria Kord is very angry about the music around the village, the aristocrats covered their ears and they whispered them with the traditional music.

Victoria Kord: (with an angry stare) I knew it, the monsters are behind it and what are they up to?

Meanwhile, back in the clan, inside the brothers' home, Ivy watched the village from their home. During those days, most trolls heard their daily lives and routines and no danger has happened to the clan. Ivy heard on the radio and she lighted up the candle vegil for her husband's sacrifice himself to save her and her sons from the hunters. Rosiepuff comfort her daughter.

Ivy: Today is the 20th anniversary of Thorn's death and his sacrifice for protecting us all, and he is in our hearts, Alder and the other trolls writed down the letters for Thorn.

Rosiepuff: I hope Clay will be able to get home along with John, Spruce, Floyd and Branch. Brandy is labor and she is going to giving birth to my twelfth grandson, they will named him or her, Thorn after my son in law, I see a note from Clay.

She picked up the note, Ivy see a message from her long lost thrid son Clay, she looked at the note from Clay as she gasped and covered her mouth.

Rosiepuff: Dear Mom and Grandma,

John, Spruce, Floyd and Branch were captured by Dante Reyes and his hunters at the arena, my fearless friends and I saved them from Reyes' henchman David Kane known as the Black Manta, William Afton working to poison all the lands around every nature, by burning down the village and the cities, while they are destroyed everything in our homeland. Dad is up in the Spirit World, and he lives in us all, I blamed myself for leaving the forest, since Dad died from his injury after he sacrifice himself to save us all from the hunters attack and the fires in the woods and I miss Dad's funeral, Viva and I were rescued by the Maximals, who led by Optimus Primal. Airazor and the other Maximals warriors, we rescued my brothers, I hope Branch is injured by him, and then he will be healed and recovered by Harriet, Dr. Ferrier and the others, Abby and Travis are helping Poppy to happy again. I hope we'll always returned to home, until Branch is fully recovered from his injury.

Sincerely,

Your third son and grandson, Clay

Ivy: Clay, he is alive, Branch will become a new leader of Glade Clan to defeat Talons Bounty Troll Hunters, they are joined forces with the humans.

King Peppy: Viva? Poppy! What did I done to her, I felt bad for her, after the elephants attack.

Alder: I hope so, Rosiepuff. But I still wish they were here with us. (Gasped) Clay is alive and he is out there with the humans in the village. I am agree with your sons, we will join forces with the humans kind to make peace with them.

Rosiepuff: Clay is alive, and I thought he died from the fire cause explosion in the forest along King Peppy's older daughter.

Ivy passed out in her bed and they're trying to wake her up. Back to the village, Dante Reyes is angry stare at the villagers, they're heard about Clay's father sacrifice himself to defeat his father Hernan Reyes. The brothers arrived in the church, the people are angry at him, to send all the trolls free from slavery.

Rudy Reyes: Dante, we need a word about the trolls' freedom, the whole countries' freedom! But first, let's the trolls go, right now!

Dante Reyes: No! I don't want let's the creatures from slavery, don't ever free the trolls.

Arthur Slugworth: I'm agree with you, my lord. We're not freeing those little monsters from prison.

John Dory: It's time for y'all to face the consequences!

An earthquake started to shake destroy half of the village and he and his hunters, and the rest of the aristocrats screaming out of the church.

During the cleaning up at the church and the buildings, Leo and the other people protesting Dante Reyes and his hunter, they're asked them to free the trolls from slavery, Dante looked at the villagers are mad at him and said.

Dante Reyes: Don't ever do this ever again!

Leonardo: Reyes, we want you and your hunters, to let's the trolls go now!

Dante Reyes: Oh no, all of you don't! That's for destroying my fortune and I lost my father!

Raphael: Your fortune, Hey Reyes, lots of elephants coming towards you and your hunters.

Spruce: Clay's tall green friends are right, they will destroy you all and smashed the buildings.

Arthur Slugworth: What is happening here?

His business partners scream, the elephants used their trumps attack the hunters, they looked at them and they stomping around the grounds, they ran as they scream in horror.

Bounty Troll Hunters #4: This can't be happening! (The hunters screaming in terror from the elephants attack in the village, Gloria, Ramsey, Noah and Rudy opened the gates and Fitzwilliam looked at the elephants and he screaming in terror as he began to run to the roof top, along with Dante Reyes and his hunters as they looked down at the elephants destroyed the ladders.) AAHHHH!

Dante Reyes: What? NO!

Arthur Slugworth: This can't be good!

They're trying to clean up all the mess with brooms and dustpans, which they putting the trolls to works, as community services, Dante used the whips on the trolls, Shaw punch one of the hunters against the wall, Dante looks at Edgin and his soldiers arrested two of the hunters and they wanted them to let the trolls go for their freedom.

Dante Reyes: AHHHH! What are you all saying to all yourself!

Edgin Darvis: Let's the trolls go now!

The trolls cheered on them to be their freedom and he is angry at them, he said.

Dante Reyes: No! I won't do this! All of you treated us all to free the trolls from slavery. I don't let the little creatures go, since I will called the cops! (The trolls gasped, Gloria walked into the arena and released the crocodiles came out from their cages.)

Gloria: That's right, Edgin, all the crocodiles came out from their cages, you're in a big trouble along with the hunters. (Abby and Travis opened the cages' locks and Clay teased him and his hunters, the crocodiles came out from their cages, they're behind them, and they scream from the crocodiles. The crocodiles trying to chopped them down to the ground. The trolls looked up at them, while they screaming at the crocodiles, they roared and snarling them, all the trolls laughing at them as they scream in horror.)

Clay: Hahaha, thank to me, haha!

Dante Reyes: We'll get you soon! (Echoing in his anger growled)

Clay: Let's see!

Dante Reyes hate the people dancing and singing by sending the trolls free from slavery. The turtles threw rocks on his head four times, he looked up at Mike, Elena, Tej and the other soldiers shouted at him about his crimes against humanity and the creatures kind, destroying peace.

Dante Reyes: How's could you all, all of you no better! All of you spread all my fortune and caused all the chaos, in the village, all the aristocrats screaming out from their homes and the trolls are going to be free!

Mike Schmidt, Elena Wallace, Tej and the other soldiers: Let's the trolls go now!

Donatello: (Rhonda roaring and looked down at him and his hunters) Let's the trolls go!

Dante Reyes: I don't care, all of you almost ruined my fortune and scaring the aristocrats!

Floyd: They are right, and you are wrong, there is the way. (Smiled heroically, Dante looks at dozen of scorpions came from the desert, crawling towards the village, he and his hunters screaming in horror, the aristocrats screaming in terror and they ran to their houses and the hunters were stung by them, William, Arthur and Victoria saw havoc caused to the village.)

Dante, William, Arthur, Victoria, David, Regina, and the rest of hunters saw the cause to the village, he doesn't let the trolls free from slavery, he dislike music around the village during the ceremony, Rudy, Noah, Elena, Tej, Roman, Cady, Gloria, Mike, Viva, Jennifer, Vanessa, turtles and the other people and the soldiers arrived at the arena, they're angry stare at him and his hunters, they asked him to freeing all the trolls from slavery and he yelled at them and said. John Dory, Spruce, Clay and Floyd used their elemental powers against them.

The peoples and the Alpha Sapphire soldiers: Let's all the trolls go now! Or else, we going to challenge you and your hunters will face a bigger punishment, now!

Dante Reyes: No! No singing, no dancing and no playing the instruments, but I don't want to let's all the monsters go, I will not let all the creatures go! I will never let's all the trolls go!

Branch, Poppy and Sky flew into the arena, Viva leading all the animals and the other creatures, he saw dragons and the animals charged to the arena and released bugs, frogs and others arrived in the village and they sang at each others.

This is the songs, the battle between the Alpha Sapphire and Talons Bounty Troll Hunters, The brothers honor their father's sacrifice during the attack and the fires in the woods. Let's My People Go! What's God's trustworthy. We're trusting God want us to send all the creatures free from slavery and harm.

It was the sunshine finally making an appearance across London that awoke Sean the following morning, the bright beams streaming in through the thin fabric of Rin’s curtains. He could hear the bells of Westminster Abbey sounding softly in the distance, birdsong in the nearby trees, and the soft breaths of the girl still sleeping in his arms.  

This posed a dilemma for him. Not because he wasn’t content lying there in a large, soft bed with a beautiful young woman, but more because he had a very full bladder, and didn’t want to disturb her by entangling himself to go and empty it. Two careful manoeuvres to free his arms later, and he was able to slide from the bed, Rin sleeping on.  

Returning to the warm soft of her nudity, he thought he’d gotten away with being stealthy, even heading for the bathroom a little way down the corridor rather than using her ensuite so the flush didn’t wake her.  

“Morning.” That smile, god. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d awoken to a smile so pretty. It was something he could definitely get used to seeing.  

“Shit,” he mumbled, wrapping an arm around her as she turned to him. “I was trying not to wake you.” 

“No matter,” she spoke on a yawn, turning to reach for her watch. “Mm, it’s only ten past eight. We can sleep in, unless you have somewhere to be?” 

He smiled, stroking her hair. “The only place I have to be is right here.” His usual Sunday would involve a trip to the gym, coffee on the way back and then an afternoon working from home. While Rin dozed against his chest, it was work that he had firmly upon his mind; namely how he could wash the amount of cash for the Kurdish and Albanian outfits needed through any other of the Wallace Corporation’s current projects, without having to secure the bid on the new complex.  

Laundering had to be done very, very carefully. There was only so many zeros one could tack onto legitimate expenditures without falling under the ever-watchful eye of accountants and HMRC, who would of course come down hard and involve the police, should anything even look slightly amiss with the company finances.  

He wracked his brains until he felt exhausted by it, eyes growing heavy again. He was stuck. Turning over, he wrapped Rin in a tight embrace, falling back into slumber. It took him by surprise, that he managed to doze for a further hour, finding the girl he had wound himself around so tightly still sleeping. Oh no. That would not do.  

Rin awoke with a bit of a start at feeling her legs splayed wide beneath the bed covers, her sleepy brain wondering what was going on until she felt Sean’s tongue take a slow swipe at her folds, the haze of sleep clearing rapidly. Well, if anything was going to act as an efficient wake up call, it was the sublimity of waking to feel her clit being licked.  

She virtually whimpered, feeling his tongue flatten and drag her again, her hands sinking into his hair and tugging gently. Trembling against each keenly delivered lick, her back arched, her body urging him to press closer. He read her need faultlessly.  

“Fuck, you’re too bloody good!” That firmer contact of wet heat pressed firmly upon her clit sent sparks skittering through her, a warm flush reaching her cheeks as she gasped and cried out softly. She could feel him smile against her, and she wanted to call him out for his smugness, but he had every right to be so. The tip of his tongue traced a series of circles down to her gently fluttering hole, Rin hissing a breath as he pushed within, the honey of her cunt bathing his mouth.   

He grunted against her, hands flexing at her thighs as he felt her streaming against his mouth, licking slowly through her folds again, plump lips wrapping her clit in a warm, sumptuous hug. The pleasure poured over her, like the gild from the sunlight steaming through the curtains, pushing the covers off them to beam a smile at him. His returned it, winking, his pupils lust blown already. 

The steel blue of his irises was only concealed by enviably long, golden eyelashes closing, lips still sucking at her, a little more pressure, the tip of his tongue rolling over her bud adding to the shocks that roared up her spine. Pleasure pooled golden in her very marrow, her hips shaking against his face, thighs closing around his head as she panted hard, feeling the heat begin to swirl and snap.   

Teetering on it, she felt bereft when he suddenly moved, but the slide of his cock arrowing deep into her soaking core as his body pressed to hers took her there, nirvana swirling, her cries of release muted by his mouth. She expected to the pleasure to begin ebbing away, but as she clutched his shoulders, the blaze burned forth again, Rin experiencing her first multiple orgasm as she bloomed beneath him.  

Her shudders reverberated over his muscles, her cries rending the air as he gently laid soft bites along her jaw, looking down at her with a smirk. “You just came again, didn’t you?” 

“Mmhmm.” Her hum was so dreamy and blissed-out, Sean couldn’t help but chuckle softly.  

“Shall we see if we can make that happen a third time?”  

She met his mouth with sweet kisses, her hands smoothing over his scratched-up back. “You’d better.” Something shifted, and they both felt it, Sean laughing softly as he continued to fuck her slow, stroking one another, sharing kisses, the tempo lazy and rolling. “This isn’t just casual anymore, is it?”  

What a question, because no, it wasn’t, but the impossibility of what he had to achieve made it just that. It was impossible for him to attain what he needed to keep his father pleased, while ensuring that hers fell in line, without her becoming hurt in it all.  

 Looking down at her, he stroked her face, his stare unblinking. She felt his heart quickening against her breast, his arms weaving to clasp her tighter, sinking into a long kiss. Therein was her answer. 

And for Sean? He knew that the video was getting deleted. He’d find another way. He had to find another way.  

Rutting into her deeply, he felt the pleasure fizzing over his bones, his release like the gentle patter of warm hail prickling upon his nerves, taking her with him into the blossom of release. They lay breathless and entwined after, Sean eventually moving to lie next to her, his chest fluttering at her smile as he reached to tuck her hair behind her ear.  

“You're bloody lovely, you know." 

That smile did nothing but widen. “I have my moments, when I'm not being a gobby twat." 

Laughing quietly, he pulled her close. “I like the gobby twat in you, though.”  

They lay there talking and dozing until the need for food drove them out of the bed, Rin opening the door to find a fresh pile of laundry that included Sean’s clothes she’d left outside the previous night. Their housekeeper Maisie was nothing if not entirely proficient in the speed she would return clean garments.  

The staff usually had the weekend off, especially if not many of the family were in residence, but that particular Sunday they were bustling around, readying the house for Kevin and Diane’s return.  

“I’m bloody famished, Roger!” Rin called, entering the kitchen to find their chef at the island, peeling potatoes ready for the roast dinner that night. “Would you mind so much if I came in and caused a bit of chaos in cooking?” 

His face pinched, slicing the potato in his grasp before plonking it into the large iron pot in front of him. “Your brand of kitchen chaos is barely tolerable. What would you like? I’ll make it.” 

“Full English, times two please. I’ll make the coffee, though.” She then paused, turning to Sean. “You eat meat, right? I noticed you only ordered fish things last night.” 

“I do, yes.” 

“Thank the lord,” Roger snorted, drying his hands on a tea towel. “I never enjoy trying to make a palatable breakfast for vegetarians. One of her little besties is a vegan, and it always throws me, having to go and order tofu and attempt to bloody scramble it.” 

Sean raised an eyebrow, his mouth thinning. “Scrambled tofu? That sounds utterly dreadful.” 

Oh, how right he was, the chef remembering well how it was perhaps the only thing he’d ever cooked that he did not enjoy trying. “I do not recommend it.” 

Reaching for the cupboard, Rin then quickly found herself knocked out of the way by a hip bump, Roger laughing softly. “Oi! I’m just trying not to be a spoilt little rich girl who can’t do things for herself!” 

“And I like my kitchen to remain tidy, without the bloody coffee grinds going everywhere! You and your chap can go and make yourselves comfortable and I’ll sort it. Go on, shoo!”  

Picking up an orange, she rolled it down her arm and popped it off her inner elbow, catching it neatly. “Fine, we’ll be in the conservatory.” They left the kitchen, taking a long walk down to the centre of the house, turning left at the roped off section, Rin giving a little wave to a few tourists who were being shown around the part open to the public.  

The conservatory itself had been a Victorian era add on. In truth, it had originally intended as a massive greenhouse, and still somewhat served such a purpose. Some botany still existed in there, plants edging the perimeters, comfortable furniture dotted around, she and Sean taking a seat at the table. Looking around, his eye was caught by a set of framed photographs upon a small bookshelf, reaching to grasp it.  

“You’re brave,” he spoke, looking up from the image of Rin sitting in the middle of an arid landscape, with a young lioness lazing on her back before her.  

“Yeah, I can’t act like that with her any longer now she’s grown, we don’t go to the reserve often enough for her to recognise me,” she lamented, looking over at the picture of her and Mya. 

Sean wouldn’t even have trusted her at the size she was, although the beast did look very content, flopped down receiving belly rubs. “Is it one of those places where they allow you to play with the cubs until they reach a certain age? I’ve heard of those holidays, frightfully expensive affairs.” 

“No, the reserve belongs to dad. Animals are where his heart lies, and he fucking hates trophy hunting, so he always said he wanted to do something about it. That something was buying up a gigantic reserve in the middle of nowhere in Kenya and dedicating it to a safe space for them. I bloody love it there. Our closest neighbours are a tribe about eight miles away, it’s so remote.” 

It was a softness Sean didn’t expect to learn about his business nemesis, the man having an obvious affinity for African wildlife – as well as plenty of money to spare in funding the preservation of it. It made a wave of bitter bile roll through his stomach, remembering being haggled with when in truth, Kevin was short of nothing and did not need to whatsoever. He did it purely because he could, and now was going to get away with it, all because Sean had softened towards his target of blackmail.  

It began to gnaw at him again, meaning that once their breakfast arrived, he only managed to successfully eat two thirds of it, pushing the rest around the plate.  

“You’ve got quiet on me,” Rin noted, sipping her coffee. “Is that because I’m likely talking way too much?” 

He shook his head, the corner of his mouth tilting up. “Just tired, darling. I’m listening, so you carry on.” She did, telling him more about their vast African property, how she loved being out there more than anywhere else in the world, purely for how remote it was.  

It was while she was taking the plates back to the kitchen and going upstairs to retrieve her phone that he took his out and checked it, seeing he had an abundance of missed calls from it being on silent mode.  

“Oh, you are alive, then?” His father answered on the fourth ring. “Where’ve you been?” 

“I am,” he confirmed, sweeping toast crumbs into a pile with his index finger. “Just spending a weekend off the grid. Does a man good, to unplug from life for a couple of days.” 

Finn sighed. His son could be very impulsive like that, hence why he hadn’t worried too much about his vanishing act. “Well, you better be plugging yourself back in sharpish, boyo. The deadline for that bid is midnight tonight, unless you’re going to give me the news I’ve been waiting for, that you’ve secured the contract with Kevin?” 

“And if I can’t get it?” he broached, pinching his bridge of his nose. “Is there a way around all of this that would mean we can still invest in another project to facilitate the same long-term goal?”  

“This isn’t about finding other ways around it, Sean.” His tone was stern, biting, leaving his son under no illusion over his feelings, should he not secure the deal. “You either win, or you fail. I want that money, I want that port and I want that fucking bid. If it doesn’t happen then trust me, it’ll reflect upon anything I trust you with, going forward.”  

“Okay, but...” 

“No fucking buts!” Finn was emphatic, Sean closing his eyes as he swallowed back a sigh. “Do whatever the fuck you have to do in order for him to comply. That’s the fucking end of it. Bye.”  

He wanted to pick up the chair he was sitting in and hurl it through the glass of the structure he was presently in, a display of his fiery temper he knew he had to quell again. God, the fucking position he was in.  

The fucking position he’d put himself in.  

Sean realised that truly, he could blame his father all he liked, but it wouldn’t stop this mess from being his problem. If he was a better negotiator, he would have secured the contract already. If he was more like his father, he wouldn’t have faced the disrespect he had in the first place. If he was any less like his father, he wouldn’t have done something duplicitous in order to find a way through this mess, a way he now knew there was a very real chance he actually had to take.  

Or, just admit defeat and tell his father to fuck off. Not because he’d fallen desperately in love or anything, Sean was not that kind of person. It had more to do with his sense of morality, and wondering how little he’d truly have left if he did go ahead as planned. But then, if he didn’t... 

It was no small number, two hundred million. They needed it desperately to keep the money laundering racket continuing, but at what cost to him? He would never again witness Rin looking at him the way she had on that morning, when he’d reached across the bed and tucked her hair behind her ear. He could have something real with her, with perhaps the one person in his world capable of understanding him truly, for her reality near enough matched his own. 

Whatever the path, he knew he couldn’t stay there within the bubble of Mulford Hall with Rin while he came to that decision, though.  

“I’m afraid I have to leave, darling,” he spoke when she entered again. Immediately, she looked disappointed.  

“Oh, okay. Business calling, yeah?” 

He nodded, dropping a kiss atop her head. After grabbing his jacket, she saw him down to the side door, unlocking it, noting how warm the spring sun was as it illuminated that particular patch of the courtyard. “So, I’ll see you soon, yeah? Call me when you’re free and we can try and arrange something.” 

She noticed it right away, the discomfort in him, Sean rolling his shoulders up as he stuffed his hand into his pocket to retrieve his keys. “I’d say yes, but...” He shook his head, reaching to stroke her cheek. “You deserve better than me.”  

“What the bloody hell is that supposed to mean?” she spluttered, baffled at the sudden frigidness of his cold shoulder.  

“It means exactly what it’s meant to, Catherine.”  

He turned to leave, not uttering another word, and Rin certainly having more pride than to chase after him and demand he give her an explanation. It bothered her for the rest of the day, though, spending a good forty minutes on a FaceTime call to Rashida in order to rant about it.  

The explanation found its way into the ether seven hours later, the chain of events that would lead to her having Sean’s intentions revealed as her mum and dad were whisked from Gatwick in the back of a limousine later that evening.  

“Are you golfing on Thursday, love?” Diane asked, pulling her attention away from her phone. “We’ve received quite the last-minute invite to one of Sissy Hansen – Whiteman's lunches. Why we’re such an afterthought, goodness bloody knows, but I’d like to be politer than she is being in extending the invite so late.” 

“No, babe. I’m playing Wednesday morning before my meetings. Tell her we’ll be there,” he spoke. He could do with bending her husband’s ear about a few business deals, Harry Wiseman being very suggestable to further ways he could coin a profit.  

While his wife went about sending a reply, he heard his own phone beep, pulling it from his pocket to see he had a Whatsapp message from none other than Sean Wallace. A last-ditch attempt to gain his business, he wagered, opening it up to find a video file.  

Waiting for a few moments for the 5G coverage to pick up, the video began to play, Kevin frowning bemusedly before snorting a laugh. “Oh, lad. I don’t think I was the intended recipient of that.” he chuckled, shaking his head as he looked away from the screen, the video playing a filming of Sean going down on who he assumed to be his girlfriend or suchlike.  

“Are you watching porn?” Diane shouted at him from the other side of the car, hearing the moans of a woman in utter ecstasy.  

“Not of my own volition, sweetheart. I think Sean Wallace has got his contacts mixed up.” He was just about send a message back stating such, when the video changed shot. A pit the size of the limo they rode in dropped into his stomach at witnessing the girl whose face had so far been hidden was, Sean yanking her head back by her hair as he railed her from behind. A voice note message then followed. 

“Sign the contract, Kevin, or this gets released to the internet. I am done playing your games, now it’s time for you to bend to my will. Just like your daughter quite literally did. You have until midnight. As soon as the contract is signed and the funds transferred, the video will be deleted. You have my word.”  

Immediately, his phone was hurled in a fit of undiluted rage, the cold discomfort of what he’d just witnessed engulfing him entirely. “You little fucking cunt, Wallace! You fucking...”  

All that followed were growls of agitation, Kevin experiencing the bite of an icy freeze chill his veins, his wife attempting to get what had happened out of him but failing as his verbal tirade of utter fury did nothing but escalate. He was puce and sweating as he reached for his phone again, knowing he had no choice. His daughter’s dignity was non-negotiable. As any father knew, his duty was to protect his children.  

Still, it was with a tidal wave of bile licking his insides, putting his signature to that contract and organising for the release of funds, telephoning Sean as soon as it was done.  

“It’s done. Funds and docks are yours, but I swear to Christ above, if you ever fucking come near my daughter again, I will gut you. Heed my warning, because it’ll fucking happen.”  

Sean hung up, feeling what remained of the glowing buzz his weekend with Rin had left him with die off completely, leaving nothing but a stinging feeling behind that persisted right into the next day.  

Arriving at The Strand a few hours after his meeting, he exited the car to see his father just about to head in through the sleek glass doors, quickening his stride to catch him. He wasn’t the only one to exit a car and stride to catch up, though...

Hey, I'm Jess!

Welcome to my art blog!

I'm a hobby artist. Pokémon and Zelda are two of my favorite things, so you can expect to see a lot of fanart for those two series. I tend to obsess over one thing for a while, but I have other interests that may sneak into my art from time to time. And on rare occasions, I might even draw some original art!

I use this blog mainly for sharing finished artwork, but I'll also sometimes post sketch dumps and respond to asks related to my art. I only reblog my art posts to my main blog, so if you don't want to miss anything, I recommend clicking on the "get notifications" button for this blog or following my main blog.

Anyone is welcome to follow, but please be aware that I sometimes post nsfw art (I always put it behind the filter). Also, I am very liberal with the block button and will not tolerate bigoted, entitled, or generally hateful behavior. I will also block anyone who spouts pro-censorship rhetoric and supports harassing creators over fiction.

Main blog: @charbon-et-feu

I'm not currently taking commissions, but if you'd like to support me financially, feel free to donate to my Ko-fi.

I also have a Discord server for my art where I share sketches and WIPs. Sometimes I stream and chat in vc while I draw. Please DM me for an invite link if you're interested in joining the server. (18+ only please)

More about me and my interests and some handy links under the cut.

I may add to this later, so it can be a masterpost for my favorite art and fandom thoughts. But this works for now.

Misc

I try to avoid discourse and drama, but since I like to draw characters kissing, I have unsurprisingly received asks about character ages and whether or not certain characters should be allowed to kiss, and I'm sure I'll get more. I'd prefer not to answer the same question twice so here's what I've already answered.

My response to being called a "fucking proshipping bastard"

My thoughts on people assuming the ages of anime/cartoon characters

Also, I want to make it clear that the proshipper ask is the ONLY ask of that nature that I will ever respond to on my art blog. I will most likely delete any future similar asks, but if I do decide to respond to one, I will do so by making a post on my main blog and including a screenshot of the ask. I refuse to clutter my art blog with aggressive asks from people who just want to be mad at nothing.

Repo! Canon Character Birthdays

These are all the confirmed character birthdays along with their star signs! Sources will be at the bottom of the post below a read more.

Note: I'm not including birth years because some are incorrect and trying to decipher them has driven me to the brink of insanity.

That being said...

Shilo Wallace was born on August 27, making her a Virgo ♍️!

Virgo traits that fit Shilo are: independant, discontent, and easily annoyed.

Magdalene DaFoe was born on July 5*, making her a Cancer ♋️!

Cancer traits that fit Mag are: intuitive, nurturing, and loyal.

Rotti Largo was born on July 14, making him a Cancer ♋️ too!

Cancer traits that fit Rotti are: moody, protective, and emotional.

Luigi Largo was born on November 20, making him a Scorpio ♏️!

Scorpio traits that fit Luigi are: confident, sexual, and intense.

Pavi Largo was born on September 29, making him a Libra ♎️**!

Libra traits that fit Pavi are: charming, romantic, and sensitive.

Amber Sweet was born on August 23, making her (ironically) a Virgo ♍️!

Virgo traits that fit Amber are: sexual (and submissive), discontent, and easily annoyed.

Shilo's birthday can be seen in the file Rotti has on her:

All Largo birthdays are confirmed in this Twitter post:

And Mag's birthday is confirmed here.

*July 5 comes from reading her birth date the American way. Shilo's is written DD/MM/YY, but Mag's could be read either way. But considering Mag's transplant date is written MM/DD/YY, we can assume her birth date should be read the same.

However, all this being said, don't take all of these too seriously! Continuity in Repo is notoriously terrible, there's several instances of plot holes, incorrect ages, dates not lining up, etc. This post is just for fun!

**There's an inconsistency with Pavi's zodiac. The MySpace pages were created in 2006 if I remember correctly, when Pavi's actor hadn't been decided yet. I think what might've happened here is that Ogre's portrayal of the character felt less "Scorpio" (Pavi was originally intended to be a VERY different character) and more "Libra", more sensual and romantic than aggressive and sexual - those traits went to Luigi.

You can't tell me that Neo Cortex isn't like... the weird uncle. Like, obviously you got Techertz as Kaz's dads, you got Solar Radiation as Oliver's moms, and then there's Neo Cortex as their weird uncle. Wallace and Clyde are those cousins that are older than you, if that makes sense?

[ur-fav-sugardaddy-situation]

Aren't games too childish for you dear? I expected you to be drinking your ass off or doing adult things- *he snickered* ... I'm joking of course, I'm glad you're having fun. -Mobile. 💜

Well firstly—

If you think about it, an Arcade is just a more fun version of a Casino- a Childfriendly Casino, if you will-

Secondly I was going to share my MnMs with you, but maybe I Won’t now!

*Wallace then laughed, shrugging his shoulders. Obviously not serious about his MnM threat*

Eh it was fun while I was there. My cousins can be a lot so it was nice to just hang out…

There was A lot of people there though. So that was..

Mm.

-W.W. 💙

[indecisive-dizzy]

Hi Dizzy! :D

I’m still not sure what to call the high school au i shared with you but I have a few ideas that I came up with :3

Daisey and Eddie in this au are legitimately just Nicole and Jecka from Class of 09

Eddie and Daisey have matching flower hairpins, red and purple :)

Eddie still wears it, Daisey keeps it in their pocket and refuses to admit they still wear it at home

The two of them are still stuck sitting next to each other in some classes, so that’s something. Daisey still doesn’t talk to him in class and they usually just pair up with other people for projects

Daisey, in the first few days after their fight before meeting their new friends, was mostly just walking around and doing thing alone. Like, sitting alone at lunch, ditching class to stay in the library, stuff like that

I can see Daisey befriending Wallace, and he’s the one that ends up introducing them to Holly, Kiko, and Andreas. They all collectively looked at this little wet cat and said “yeah this is our buddy now”

Daisey was already goth but didn’t express it too much, but after joining their new friend group they started expressing it more with their clothing and music taste

Me thinking Daisey gets into a fight, Eddie trying to stop them, and it somehow ends up with them fighting again. Literally, the person Daisey was originally fighting was just left standing there

They do make up, but it’s a very rocky path :,)

I dont have a lot of ideas now that I really think about it :,)

All I have are random Class of 09 quotes with these two and a rough design for the two of them

I'm afraid I don't understand your Class of 09 references bc I have No idea what that is :') (movie? show?)

However matching hair pins I understand Very well and will Cry about,,, Eddie with a flower in his hair,, matching accessories with a bestie you broke up with,, ouagh

Mm yes Tension. I imagine Daisey and Eddie's other desk neighbors can Really feel the tension between these two and hate it

"Hey that person looks like they got issues" "Oh really? cool let's adopt them" Bam Daisey has a new friend group lol

Man Eddie just doesn't want them getting into trouble, he still cares about Daisey! But this angry emo (/pos) is to hurt and just wants to beat up some suckers to feel better. Said sucker really just 🧍‍♂️ while Eddie n Dasiey argue ajdhhs
