user15327094: OMFG IS THAT W2S??

user89130243: herb what r u doin here

Me and Harry have been together for almost five months now. We met through instagram, he followed me, liked my posts, then finally sent me a message. Since then we've been inseparable, texting every day and it feels like I practically live in his apartment since he doesn't want me to leave, saying “no… don’t go, just one more night?” Along with his best puppy dog eyes. I get along great with Harry's friends, especially Tobi since he was so welcoming. After meeting Faith at Tobi's birthday party we became quite close and have had many great conversations. I feel as though I can always go to her if I need someone to speak to or if I just need some advice.

Today Harry's talking me to Guernsey to meet his family for the first time. We woke up early and threw on a comfy outfit then headed to the airport. When we arrived we went through security and waited around for a little while before actually getting onto the plane. After just over an hour we were landing in Guernsey.

y/username just posted a new story!

"Oh my god, this place is fucking beautiful." I stared out the plane window in awe of the island. Harry chuckled at my giddiness. I'm so excited to meet his family, unfortunately Rosie is at uni and Josh is on holiday so ill have to wait a little longer to meet them but ill get to see his parents. He's met mine multiple times but our schedules have never been clear enough to spend a weekend here, so when we got the chance we immediately booked the flights.

Once we'd collected our bags and were making our way out of the airport we spotted Harry's dad stood leaning against his car. I took a deep breath. "You have nothing to worry about. They're gonna love you." Harry whispered into my ear. I looked up at him "ok let's go."

"Hello, nice to finally meet you. I'm Harry's dad but you can call me Adrian." He spoke in a very cheery voice. My nerves instantly calmed. "Hi, I'm y/n." I introduced myself. "Yes I know. Harry don't stop talking about you." He chuckled. I looked over to Harry, his face was bright red and he'd gotten all embarrassed. "Does he now?" I teased him. Adrian laughed once again "well we better get going, Sue is desperate to meet you."

When we arrived outside of Harry's home my jaw dropped, it's practically a mansion. We hopped out of the car, Adrian and Harry grabbed our bags and I headed inside to introduce myself to his mum. Harry told me that the door was unlocked so I pressed down the handle and pushed it open. I was immediately bombarded by Herb, who seemed very excited to see me. I'd spent quite a lot of time with the dog since Harry had brought him with him back to London a few times.

"Hello! Come on in." Harry's mum Sue pulled me into a hug. I smiled "It's so nice to meet you." She walked me through into the kitchen "Are you hungry? I just made lunch." My eyes lit up "I'm starving and that smells amazing!" She smiled "great." Harry burst into the room seconds later and came to stand next to me. "You hungry Harry?" His mum asked. Harry nodded. "Alright, food will be ready in ten. Why don't you to go and get settled in." Harry gave me a quick toor of the house then showed me to his room. "See I told you they'd love you."

After lunch Harry wanted to take me on a walk to show me one of his favourite places on the island. So we put on our coats and shoes then he put a harness on Herb. "Come on let's go, Herbert!" Harry shouted and seconds later Herb came running towards us. I opened the door. "So where are we going?" I asked as we walked down the street. "My favourite beach." He replied.

"Wow, I can't believe you grew up somewhere like this." I admired the waves as Herb played in the sand. "I didn't appreciate it enough when I lived here, but now that I don't come here as often I realised how much I miss it," Harry said without breaking eye contact with the view. I placed my head on his shoulder and let out a breath. "I love you." "I love you too Haz."

Oh so real!! Aaa I would love to learn more about RSA. It's been, like, what? 4 and a half years now? They've gotta give us something eventually!! (coping) I do think in general we should get more fun traveling events. I know we're getting those obviously with the hometown events, but I'd love to learn some more about the world that isn't the few countries surrounding Sage's Island? Like we still have no idea where Sam's hometown (Port O' Bliss) is! Though considering what Sam's twisted from maybe they could be saving it for something like halloween??? They probably won't tbh but it WOULD be really cool.

I want to update and say I unfortunately did Not pull b7 eel cards (Jade got me to about 87 before the banners ended, no chance to pull on Floyd 💔 so greedy) so I'm handing in my Jade lovers card and twirling his poor twin around. Floyd wouldn't do me and my savings like Jade did. Trust. This does remind me actually to reread some of your Floyd fics ,, it HAS been awhile I fear

It is a really cool feature!! And AAAA I LOVE BARB !! We share,, many fictional men. Right down to my poor poor childhood crush on Kyoya. Reiji though has plagued my brain for YEARS I would love to see what all you think of him if you ever do read a full translation!! There's been fan-made english patches made actually for the first two Dialovers games on the vita if you have a pc and patience with the silly silly world of emulators. It's how I did his Haunted Dark Bridal route :-) and goodness what a trip that game is!! Ohh Reiji and Laito the interesting little critters you are,,,,

Vampires though in general,, auughfhh,, I think about vampire fish a good bit honestly. I can't remember rn if I've stumbled across any works like that but maybe I should check ao3 after this,,, for science. of course. Also don't worry about answering these quickly or anything. You could respond to this in a month and I'd still have the same joy reading your response as I would if you'd responded immediately. So always take your time.

(Also I wasn't sure how to throw this into my ask, but have you ever shared your twst friend codes here? If not, would you be open to doing so? If you aren't it's totally chill!! But I'd been wondering for awhile :]! )

- :3 anon

Begging twst for an RSA event!! OTL I want to see the inside of RSA and see more characters from there,, more Neige and Che'nya!!! Omg and it would be so fun to learn more about places beyond Sage's Island and the other areas nearby. I would love more Sam crumbs, especially hometown crumbs!! Thinking about a Princess and the Frog inspired Halloween event,,,, AAAAA THAT WOULD BE SO AMAZING!!! OTL OTL hoping with all of my heart for something.....

No eels... (◞‸◟；) I am sorry you couldn't bring either of them home. Those rotten eels!!! ( ｡ •`ᴖ´• ｡) how can they be so troublesome and slippery!!! Friendship ended with Jade. Floyb is the new bestie and he would never treat you or your savings in such a disrespectful manner! Certainly not in the way Jade did. I hope he will comfort you more than Jade ever could. <3

We are on the same wavelength, :3 anon!!! Immaculate taste as always for us hehehe!! We are passing the fictional men around and letting them spin in our brains like conveyor belt sushi! I definitely want to learn more about Reiji because he was one of the brothers I sort of,,,, ignored due to my lack of interest. ^^;;; but now I am very intrigued. What do you MEAN he creates drugs and potions and other nefarious things!!!! I fear I am not immune to a cordial smile and the drugs slipped into my tea (winking and nudging Reiji). How terrible it would be if attractive vampire with glasses did that to me...... uuwaaaa,,, I want to be able to play those fan-made patches!!!! One day I shall have a PC that allows me to unlock full gamer potential like Idia. >:D haunted dark bridal route sounds so fascinating... 👀

AND LAITO!!!! Dare I say,,,,, what if Cater x Laito crossover!!!! Cater in Laito's outfit,,,, VAMPIRE CATER?!?!?!?!?!?! OTL my brain chemistry was irreversibly altered when I first watched that church altar scene in the anime. LAITO, THE VAMPIRE THAT YOU ARE!!!!! Truly the most interesting of critters.

Vampire fish my beloveds. AAAA I just love vampires. <3 gothic vampire Azul is amazing, but I also love modern-day vampire Floyd....... and of course vampire Jade who loves playing with the cute vampire hunter who is after him. Many thoughts for those three. May you find plentiful vampire works in your very scientific ao3 search!!!

UUWAAA you're too kind and patient,,, 🥺 thank you so very much... I would feel so terrible if I responded as late as a month later!!! orz but it's a relief to know you would still be happy to read my thoughts. Please also take your time in replying!! There is never any rush.

:o I haven't shared it before!! Here it is below! Feel free to add me as a friend! My profile is very Rollo as of this moment. I hope my level 105 tako card can be of use in battle. 🐙 ✨

Lizard: *who asked Nami if they could stop by a certain island because they have good booze*

Nami: *agreed but made sure that Lizard knew that drinking for her wasn't allowed*

Lizard: *as soon as they land takes Doll to a bar where a drunk woman is whos crying and holding a baby blanket*

Doll: *confused* Lizard what are we doing here?

Lizard: *helps the woman sober up and cleans her up* Doll meet your mother.

Doll: *shocked* But my dad said that...

Lizard: It was all lies. Well apart from the part where hes your dad. This is your mother and he stole you from her years ago.

K: *starting to understand and recognizes Doll and runs over and hugs her* MY BABY. OH MY BABY GIRL. LOOK AT YOU YOU'RE ALL GROWN UP.

Doll: *crying* Hi Mom

"Nami said we weren't allowed to drink, why are we here?" Doll shifted uncomfortably behind Lizard while anxiously picking at her sleeves.

Lizard simply continued to pull her along and stopped at a door at the back of the distillery they were at. She tried to open it, but the knob only rattled in place.

"Unlock this," the order came out shockingly casually.

Doll bristled immediately, "What? No! I'm not breaking into this place, what is wrong with you?!"

"It'll be fine, I know the woman who runs this place, she won't mind. Now get to it, this is important," Lizard leaned against the wall while staring at Doll expectantly.

As much as she wanted to argue, Lizard's stare was impossible for her to argue against. She huffed and grumbled a bit, but ultimately conceded to the demand and dug out her lock picking kit. "I can't believe you're making me do this. How do you even know this person?"

"This was one of the islands we hid out on for a while," the other people in the 'we' being the members of CP9. "We were getting something to eat at a tavern down the road and I got to talking to Kailani because she looked so sad and lonely drinking by herself. I want you to meet her."

Just barely resting a finger on the tension wrench she shoved into the lock, Doll began gently gliding her rake tool in and out of the keyhole. The lock seemed awfully cheap, she'll easily have it unlocked in under a minute.

"Why do you want me to meet her?" Granted, it was always nice to make new friends, but the approach Lizard was taking was bizarre to say the least.

"You'll see, just trust me."

The wrench fell limp, signaling that the door was now unlocked. Doll barely had the chance to stand up straight before Lizard threw open the door and yanked Doll in with her. The door quietly clicked shut behind them.

The strong, but sweet, scent of alcohol assaulted Doll's senses. Being around booze was hardly a first for her, but the potency of it in here was staggering. If they stayed long enough, she's sure she would become intoxicated without ever having ingested a drop.

Strangely enough, it was weirdly familiar. The smell made something in the back of her mind tingle, though she couldn't place how exactly she recognized it or where from.

"There she is," Lizard continued dragging Doll around like, well, a doll. "Hey, Kailani!"

An older woman was standing next to a large pot simmering a dark, thick liquid. She had been carefully skimming foam from the top of it when Lizard called out to her. She startled and almost dropped her sieve into the pot.

"Who the hell are you two?!" Kailani's eyes flicker to Doll and she openly sneers at her, "Get out! I don't want any damn kids back here!" Her eyes were glassy, and it wasn't hard to guess why, especially after she took a swig from the bottle in her other hand.

"C'mon, you know me. I'm Lizard. We talked a few times after meeting at the tavern about a year ago, remember?" Lizard's tone was calm, unbothered by the harsh outburst from Kailani.

Kailani's face scrunched up in thought and she took another drink as she mulled over what Lizard said. After a somewhat lengthy pause, recognition flashed in her eyes, "Lizard... Right, I remember you. Such a strange name." Another sip. "Why are you here again? And why did you break into my store? With that... girl, no less."

For reasons Doll couldn't figure out, Kailani kept glowering at her. Specifically her hair, oddly enough.

"I wanted you to meet my friend." Lizard gently pushed Doll in front of her, "Kailani, this is Doll. Doll, Kailani.

Both of them shared a look of confusion as to why Lizard felt the need to introduce them. Doll muttered out a small 'hello', but the nicety wasn't returned.

"I have work to do, if you're done then please leave," Kailani turned her back to them and went back to monitoring the simmering pot. Unfortunately, she wasn't watching where her hand was going and yelped as she accidentally burned her hand on the cauldron.

The bottle she'd been holding before fell to the floor and shattered on impact. Glass shards scattered everywhere, as did what little rum had been left. A slew of curses shot out of her as she cradled the burnt hand to her chest.

Lizard rushed forward, gently herding her away from the pot and to a nearby chair. She snatched the sieve from Kailani, "I'll go skim it for you, just rest here while Doll fetches some water."

Despite not necessarily getting along with the woman, Doll was quick to do as told and brought some cold water for Kailani to soak her hand in.

An awkward silence hung in the air as Kailani aggressively avoided making eye contact. Doll found herself examining the aging woman's face. Her expression was stern, hardened from what Doll could only assume was years of hardship. No one who's had an easy life could look so mean while having such downcast and sad eyes.

It's understandable why Lizard felt the need to approach her the first time. Even Doll found herself wanting to give the woman a hug.

The back door they'd sneaked in through opened and closed, making Doll tense up and whip around to see who else was in here with them now.

"Kailani, you left the door unlocked. Again. One of these days someone is going to steal you poor." Another woman rounded the corner, she looked to be similar in age to Kailani, but perhaps a little younger. She stopped dead in her tracks when she spotted Doll and Lizard, "Who are you?!"

While Doll was panicking and stammering for a response, Lizard answered casually, "We're friends with Kailani and just stopped by to say hi."

"Really now?" She looked to Kailani for confirmation.

"I know her," Kailani nodded at Lizard. "We met last year and talked a little. No clue who this girl is. What are you doing here, Malana?"

"Hardly sounds like you're friends to me," Malana sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose, "And I'm here because it's noon, and I brought some food so that you don't drink your lunch again."

She strode over to where Kailani was seated and leveled Doll with a hard stare. At first, her expression was annoyed more than anything, but then her brows furrowed. Malana dropped the food onto a table next to her and grabbed Doll by the chin while looking her over. Doll tried to pull away, but her grip was strong.

"How old are you?" Malana's voice was so low that Doll could just barely make out what she said.

"Um, I-I'm fifteen?" The intensity of her gaze was downright intimidating.

Her eyes widened at this answer, "What's your name?" Both of her hands dropped and tightly gripped Doll's shoulders.

Before Doll could answer, Lizard did so for her. "She goes by Doll now, but her real name is (Y/N)."

Kailani's head snapped up so fast that it could be heard cracking. For the first time, she fully looked Doll in the eye, her own were wide and wild. "(Y/N)?" The small water basin in her lap fell to the ground as she launched herself out of the chair and held onto Doll as if she would disappear if she didn't. Doll stumbled, but just barely managed to remain upright. Malana was speaking but she couldn't make out a word of it over Kailani's hysterical sobbing.

"(Y/N), my (Y/N), my baby!" She pulled back slightly and cradled Doll's face in her work-weathered hands, "I thought I would never see you again!" Once again, Doll's face was squished against the woman's chest as she held onto her with all her strength.

Doll had no idea what was happening. She managed to twist her head enough to look for Lizard in hopes that she might have an answer.

Lizard was standing only a few steps away, "This is your mother. She never died, Shanks kidnapped you in the middle of the night while she slept."

Her once tense posture fell limp as Doll went into what she could only describe as being a state of shock. "What?"

"He lied to you, he's been lying to you for years."

Malana had joined in on the hug, aggressively squeezing both Doll and Kailani, "I can't believe you're here!" She let go and rushed for the door while scrubbing the tears off her face, "Stay put, I'll go get everyone else!"

As the door slammed behind her, two things were on Doll's mind. One, that she was going to savor every single second of this reunion, and two...

She was going to kill Shanks for what he's done.

Always Been You - Chapter 4

You let out a long sigh as you finally changes out of your scrubs. You weren't sure if your shift today was particularly slow or was it because you were still reeling about your encounter with one Bradley Bradshaw last night; wither way you were exhausted and just wanted your bed.

You grabbed your stuff and closed the locker behind you making your way to the hospital exit waving to your roommate Nicole as you passed who had just clocked in an hour ago to start her night shift.

Finally reaching your car you began the short but what felt like long drive home. What you weren't expecting was the Kawasaki parked in your drive. You smiled knowing that bike anywhere and suddenly you were a little less tired when you look towards your house and noticed your dad was on the porch with his back to you.

You got out of your car and walked up behind him, "Are you seriously changing the bulb in my porch light?" you ask him with a knowing smile.

He turned around with a serious face, "Well maybe if the previous bulb didn't look like it hadn't been there since the place was built I wouldn't have to" he tells me with a raised eyebrow and I just roll my eyes before walking up the steps and being engulfed in a large hug.

"I've missed you" he told me, I pulled back and looked at him, "Hey I've lived in the same place for the last four years unlike some of us" I countered causing him to chuckle.

"Okay okay, you win, I'm sorry"

I playfully nudged his arm as I walked past to unlock the door, "Don't worry about it dad" I tell him like always and I mean it. I'm reality, I'm not sure if it's because I didn't actually mind it or because I got used to it over the years being the daughter of a single parent who was also a naval aviator.

He followed me inside as I dropped my things by the couch and making my way over to the kitchen to grab us both drinks.

"Still living with Lisa?" He asks looking around to see if much has change. "Mm Hmm" I answer taking a gulp of water before passing him one, "For now anyway, she's hoping to move in with her girlfriend once she moves here permanently at the end of the summer" he nods and I lean against the kitchen island watching him suspiciously.

"So" I start causing him to look at me expectantly, "Does your visit have anything to do with why I ran into Bradley at the Hard Deck last night?" I ask him and I notice he freezes for a moment before sighing.

"I was hoping to give you a heads up before you ran into him but apparently I'm too late" he sighs, "You okay?"

I roll my eyes and smile at him, "I'm fine dad, it was years ago, left in the past" I told him but I could tell he didn't completely believe me.

"If you say so"

A beat passes before he coughs awkwardly, "So ho..how was it seeing Bradley?" he asks and I not entirely sure how to answer him so I just say "It was fine, kind of weird"

I compose myself before letting him know that "He's still pissed at you know know?"

"Yeah I know, he made it very obvious on Monday when he saw me for the first time"

I walk over to him and give his arm a reassuring squeeze, "Maybe this is what you both need" I say hoping to convince him. He smiles at me before chucking, "Honey, we know better than anyone the grudge that boy can hold" I let a sad smile grace my face, "Yeah, I know".

We spend the next while catching up before dad leaves to head back to base having an early start and I take the chance to relax for the evening trying to clear my mind of all things Bradshaw related which is easier said than done.

I have some Thoughts about the reset so I'm just gonna write them all down:

This is in no way aimed at anyone specific and is mostly just my overall thoughts as a viewer

I think the fandom are being a bit dramatic over it atm, its been only a few days i think yall need to just chill. I know you dont like change but like, give it time?

for 1) the old builds lore etc arent GONE, they're just 200k blocks away, its the same server, theyre just very far away likely due to new terrain generation (if im wrong on this, please correct me) 2) the players were bored of the old server, theres a select few that WERENT bored when the majority were. I'm sorry if your lore got interrupted or was replaced but 1 or 2 players compared to the over 30+ other players, it was bound to happen. Timings just don't match up and any cc who is being stubborn abt it needs to understand its not All About Them when its a SERVER 3) about the above ^ ccs like Luzu, Mariana, Willy etc those that felt they COULDNT log on because it had been too long are finally being given a chance? PLEASE give them a chance. I know you're attached to your current ccs but these guys are AMAZING and deserve your time and finally they're able to do that! I'm sorry to say but having a lot more players on will mean more than losing one or two players who are being stubborn about old builds

4) I understand the frustration over things being behind pay walls or being slowly introduced but you have to understand THEY DID THE SAME THING AT THE BEGINNING OF THE QSMP! A lot of the newer creators just weren't around at that time so they joined to having everything unlocked. This isn't a new thing! Give it time! 5) at the moment everyone is just trying to find their footing again, this happened at the beginning of the qsmp as well - again just be patient, they'll get there! 6) this reset was done likely to remove the builds that F*rever did, I completely understand WHY this was done and I think moving forward we can look forward to an island that isn't tainted with his lore or what he built.

overall, I'm really enjoying the reset, especially as a Luzu watcher, I'm REALLY glad he's back because he's an incredible streamer. I get why people are so frustrated but PLEASE JUST BE PATIENT i know change is difficult but you need to give it time to settle - I'm sure they will be allowed to go back to their old bases, old lore etc!! There's no way they just destroy everything and forget about it. Just give it timeeee!

#qsmp neg #i guess??#its more just my insight into the reset #mcyt #feel free to discuss with me over this but please dont be TOO heavily negative I'm more just trying to see the positive side to things #qsmp

Ok ok ok

Many people I've seen don't like Keefe because he's "taking all the spotlight" and "this is Sophie's story not his"

Let me have one chance to change your mind

One

And this is purely based off theories ive got and the story itself

If you don't like Keefe just cause you don't like him (while that is a perfectly valid opinion you're allowed to have) that is not the argument against this

It's just based on the actual plots of the book (if you have points against this I'd love to hear them I'm always up for some friendly debate)

Ok time to begin

I'm am about 90% sure that Keefe's plot line is intertwined with Sophie's

Ok so

To begin let's start with Sophie

I'm pretty sure the end goal for Sophie's story is to (out of many things) bring humans back as an intelligent species (keep that in mind its very important)

Sophie was raised with them for a reason and she can see the worth in them that not many elves do (including out of her own friends)

I also believe that Amy being able to keep her memory was no coincidence on Shannon's part

I think that Amy will be one of the first humans to integrate back to the Lost Cities as maybe even a spokesperson

The islands lady Giselle stole for the trolls also plays into this

Stuff like that happening in the human world is going to shake the balance of everything

Humans will get suspicious when things like that keep happening

Sophie also sees the value in humans and believes they don't deserve to have been shunned away and wants to make it right

Well why were the humans shunned away?

That's where Keefe's story plays into this (hang in there its about to get messy but stick with me)

They we're shunned away for "trying to uprise against the elves" and not sign the treaties

But they only did that because it's revealed that Vespera was experimenting and kidnapping their people

Vespera was experimenting for as she said "finding out how they can be so ruthless"

Cause elves and humans aren't all that different really

Mainly just the special abilities and skills

Vespera is also connected to stellarlune

And Giselle said that stellarlune is supposed to "bring out someone's potential"

Well what if the humans potential is to be like the elves

What if Elysian was a human that was experimented on by Vespera and the ancient council then locked her away because she was too powerful

Vespera in turn was locked up to hide the evidence from it and nearly all record of it was destroyed

But if that's what stellarlune did to a human what's that have to do with Keefe?

Hang in there

Vespera said her and lady Giselle's philosophies were exact opposites

Giselle said they were similar than she thought

Well I doubt Giselle would use stellarlune to make Keefe human

BUT

What she could do is give him those freaky abilities like Elysian to MAKE elves like humans

Think of what Elysian did at the end of stellarlune

She turned off everyone's abilities

Well in unlocked while in Keefe's pov

While having a breakdown in his inner monologue because he was scared he could just STOP people from manifesting or even take away abilities(I can get pages later if anyone is curious)

Here's where Sophie comes back in

I think Sophie was created to correct all of that

Even though the black swan didn't know how big exactly what they were dealing with back when they created her

She was still created to fix those issues all of that caused

So YES they were supposed to be nemesises

Without Keefe's end of the story and all of that stuff he's wrapped up in Sophie wouldn't exist

Yes this is Sophie's story

Without a doubt

But HER story wouldn't exist without all the stuff HE was wrapped up in

And that's why I love this story

It's extremely complex and has many sides to the same story to create one big intertwining plot with lots of branches and reasonings

Thann you for your time

"A moment of your time!" Emcee catches up to you before you can disperse to your room or rejoin with your teammates, or wherever else it is you're heading off to.

"This way, this way." The strange host ushers you into a small shack, curtained off from the outside. They offer you a chair and a bright lamp hangs overhead.

"Now then," they start, positioning themselves across from you. "The competition was so close on East Island this week! And you just barely pulled ahead at the last minute to net the Snakes a much-needed win. What do you think about that?"

In their hand is a voice amplifying stick, which they hold out to you now.

Compared to the dour expressions of some of the other participants, Marni looks as pleased as a dog with a bone the second she hears the results. Accomplishing her objective last week was pretty nice, but winning a game with points and everything? That's even better.

Her joy lasts until she is all but kidnapped away from the main group, dragged by her scruff into a tiny curtained off shack.

"Nuh uh, I know an interrogation when I see one! Dunno what you've got planned, but you don't scare me even half as bad as Zephia. You're not getting a peep out of me!"

Crossing both her arms and legs, Marni leans back in the chair, determined to keep mum. She fixes Emcee with a suspicious glare, half expecting them to grab the overhead lamp to shove it in her face and demand to know what she's hiding. Well, tough luck for this punk! It's their fault for foolishly thinking they'd be able to get information out of Lord Sombron's (former) Hounds!

...

....

......

The small shack falls silent as it becomes increasingly more obvious that Emcee is not here to try to torture information out of her.

"...It's not an interrogation? You should've just said that upfront!" She slumps down in her chair and then rights herself. "Man, I almost missed a chance to brag! You saw how many cards I got, right? It's no wonder we won! That's what everyone gets for thinking they're better than us!"

Marni uncrosses her legs and kicks her feet back and forth. She won the game AND she dragged a compliment out of her partner for the week. She's practically on cloud nine.

"My partner wasn't as useless as I thought, too. I mean, he took way too long unlock the door, but he told me I did a good job, so I guess I can forgive him just this once. Besides, there were apparently giant birds or something. He probably looked like an easy target, being a scrawny mage 'n all."

(If only she knew how much the poor man had suffered from those traps...)

"Anyway, I got my orders to have my fun and I'm following them! There's no fun without a chase!"

Sunflower: Book 1, Chapter 5

Tom Hiddleston x OFC Series rated: M Chapter warnings: drinking AN: Sorry for the delay- I got sidelined yesterday by the company Holiday party, a fishbowl and peer pressure. I don't think the country club expected the company president to lead frat party level shenanigans during a Ortho Surgery company holiday party but it was, as is always when Pres can sneak a fishbowl in behind the CEO's back, legendary. Bone Bros may be the jocks of the healthcare and surgical world but they're the best to party with.

Chapter 4 Masterlist Chapter 6 ~~~

Chapter 5

Shame.

That’s what she felt as she pulled onto the street.

She hadn’t told him, she didn’t know how to. Maybe it wouldn’t matter. Maybe she would pull in and he would bulk before she had even had a chance to park. Maybe he would say he was too good to be seen in a place like this. Maybe he wouldn’t even get out of the car. Maybe he would demand to be taken back.

Maybe, maybe, maybe.

The gates to the apartment complex were wide open. That wasn’t anything new. They had been broken for as long as she had lived in her unit though the complex advertised themselves as a secured complex.

They would be fixed this winter, or so she was told every single winter.

“Is this it?”

She answered his question with a noise as she turned into a wing of the parking lot.

Trash littered the sidewalks and kids were yelling on the playground as the car slowly pulled up in front of a crumbling set of concrete stairs. The buildings was painted what she affectionately called ‘shit brown’ with tan trimmings. Balconies overhung the three floor apartment buildings.

When the engine cut, he didn’t hesitate to open the door and step out. He didn’t show any hesitation either as he pulled his suitcase and carry on from the back of her car.

“Lead the way.” His voice was level, calm, and schooled giving her no insight as to what may have been going on behind his eyes.

“Are you sure?” She bit her lip nervously.

“Are you trying to scare me away?” A small smile tugged the corners of his lips.

“No, but-”

“Than yes, I’m sure.” There was that steel in him again. It was something she had only gotten fleeting glimpses of. There was a harder side to him, hidden under charming fluff. When he put his mind to something, it seemed that the steel would surface to ensure there was follow through.

Without a way to convince him otherwise, she lead the way up the flight of stairs. He carried his bags easily, though she had a deep hatred for these stairs thanks to the hassle they caused her every time she went to do laundry.

A note was taped to her second floor door. The AC had managed to get fixed, thank god, it was supposed to be in the hundreds in the next few days.

“Everything okay?” Tom asked as he set his suitcase on the landing behind her.

“AC’s fixed.” Crumpling the paper, she tossed it into the small trash can beside the door and made a mental note to deal with it later. What she didn’t tell him was that the apartment complex blamed her for the broken unit and demanded she not set the temperature below 80 degrees.

Unlocking the door, she stepped inside. At least for the moment, the temperature inside the unit was a relief. It was a mater of time though and it would feel suffocating.

“This is it.” She held the door open for him and waved her arm inside. “Don’t worry about your shoes- it looks like the repairmen didn’t think twice about tracking dirt inside.”

The front door opened into a small living room. Next to the front door was a sliding glass door that opened onto a small balcony that Tom saw from the ground. Across from the front door was a flight of stairs. A small kitchen was in the back of the living room. Three simple barstools were tucked under the island bar.

Dirt was tracked in from the front door, leaving a trail lit up by the desert sun across the impersonation wood floors. There was a small couch -there was no way he would fit on it- on one side of the wall and a TV stand and flat screen TV across from it. A bookshelf packed full of books stood next to the TV.

“You can put your bags where ever.” She gestured to the small space. “I guess I’ll give you the grand tour.”

Never in her life had she felt so ashamed, while she watched a small bug crawl along the wall by the door. Hopefully he hadn’t seen it.

“This is pretty much it.” There wasn’t much to show him. “There’s upstairs too.”

The stairs creaked under their weight as they climbed the narrow staircase. He was quiet behind her, only adding to her anxiety.

If only he would say something. Anything would be good enough. Tell her it was too small. Say the apartment wasn’t good enough for him. Insist that he couldn’t stay there. Change his mind. Insult her. Something. Anything.

“Here’s the bathroom,” She turned into the room doorway on the left and gestured to the fixtures. The room was long and narrow with a sliding door separating the sink and toilet area from the shower area. At the other end, just in front of the foot of the tub was another door which she led him through.

The design of the apartment was weird, she knew it. The doorway opened up into a second sink area with a rod for clothes. There was no door on this cubby of a room, allowing it to flow right into the bedroom.

She grabbed a cordless vacuum, reaching down and unplugging it quickly. It wasn’t loud when she turned it on, running it quickly over the floor and into the hallway.

“What’s behind this door?” Tom pointed to the door that was skipped by going through the bathroom.

“Oh.” Her heart sank. “It’s nothing-” She rushed him downstairs, vacuuming behind his feet. She had slipped her feet out of her shoes and kicked them back toward her bedroom.

“Can I help with anything?” Tom asked as she ran the vacuum around the living room. She assured him that she had it under control, and she did, leaving him to look at the books.

There were novels, old and new on the shelf of many genres. There were also coloring books, workbooks and children’s books.

On the shelf was a framed picture of a small family. A younger Mia was center holding a small baby with sandy blond hair. A tall blonde man had his arms wrapped around them both.

“Is this him?” Tom asked, picking the frame up when the vacuum cut.

“What?” Her heart dropped when she saw the picture. It was such a part of her environment, she had forgotten it was even there. There was no more hiding. There was no more pretending. There was no more protecting.

"Yeah,” She took the picture from him and looked down at it for a moment. It was a snapshot from when she thought she could never have been happier. “The woman in this picture thought she was going to marry a man who would support her always. Who would love her always. Who would be their for his daughter. Instead she was a woman being run around on.”

“Daughter?” Tom looked down at her as she set the picture back in it’s place.

“That room, upstairs. It’s my daughter’s.”

“How old is she?” Tom turned to face her. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

“Look, I don’t- I don’t want you to think I agreed to get to money or to use you.” She couldn’t look at him.

“Than why did you?” His voice was soft.

“It seemed to matter to you a lot, that’s all.” Stepping away, she put space between them. “I don’t want anything from you. I just-” The ringing of her phone cut her off. Ashely’s name lit up the screen in her hand.

“It’s okay.” Tom nodded toward the phone.

“Are you still alive?” Ashley’s teasing tone did little to cover her worry. “Where are you?”

“I’m home. Still alive. Haven’t been murdered yet.”

“You’re home?”

She directed her attention to Tom, “Go ahead and make yourself comfortable?” He nodded to her as she directed her attention back to the phone. “We’re home.”

“What?!” Ashley squawked. “You brought him home. To your apartment. Your s-h-i-t bag of an apartment?!”

“I didn’t have much choice.” But she knew she did. Tom offered, he pressured lightly but as far as the time she can remember with him, he has never really forced anything, just pushed with that hard edge.

“I got called into work. Justin is working tonight too…”

“Shit. Okay. It can’t be helped.” Mia ran a hand through her hair. What was she going to say. How was she going to explain this. How could she know, really know, that her daughter was safe.

“I’ll feed her lunch first so you can sort whatever mess you’ve made of your life out.”

“Gee, thanks. Love you too.” The line disconnected, leaving Mia alone with the consequences of her actions.

“Is everything alright?” Tom crossed the room in a few strides. There simply wasn’t a lot of room to cross.

“Yeah, it’s nothing.” It wasn’t nothing. She wasn’t sure how she would manage to sleep tonight with a strange man in the same house as her daughter.

~~~~~

With time ticking down, they sat on the couch and talked. Mia was perhaps the most honest she had been. There was no going back, Ashley would deliver Sally to the apartment soon.

She told Tom of the wonderful five year old that lived in the house, how she had a perfectly fine bed but insisted on sleeping on a blanket on the floor. Tom listened to her as she talked about picky eating and noise. He listened as she told him of tearful nights crying for her father- a man she remembered the idea of far more than anything else.

“She sounds lovely.” Tom smiled.

“You’re not angry I didn’t tell you earlier?”

A warm hand rested on her back and rubbed between her shoulders. These small acts of tender affection were far and few between. Again, the kind touch caught her off guard.

“You wanted to protect her. I can’t fault you for wanting to feel out a man you’re bringing into her life- even less so in our current situation.”

“How are you with kids?” A text to her phone let her know Ashley would be arriving in a few short minutes.

“I think I do well enough. I don’t have any of my own, of course -” That felt like a needle to her “- but my sisters have them as do some of my friends.”

Knocking on the door told Mia her time was up. It was either introduce Tom to Sally as… something or ask a neighbor to watch her. There wasn’t enough notice for her to ask neighbors, she’d been counting on Ashley.

~~~~~<3

“Oh no,” her head swam on a sea of alcohol. It had been years since she had this much fun and even longer since she had this much to drink.

“What is it?” The man- his name- asked her. What was his name?

“I lost my necklace.” She pouted. It wasn’t an expensive one or anything but she had so very little nice jewelry.

“Oh dear!” He pulled her to face him and leaned down to inspect her neck and chest before declaring as if it was news, “It’s gone.”

“I know.” She pouted before sighing. “Oh well.”

With him leaning down just so, he didn’t tower over her nearly as much. It was impulsive but she threw her arms around his neck. Leaning up on her toes, she kissed the tip of his nose. A boyish grin lit up his face and he chuckled, wrapping his arms around her waist.

“We need to get you a necklace.” He decided.

“I can’t.” She pouted. “No money. No jewelry. Naked neck.”

“We can’t have that.” He decided, pulling away from her only to take her hand in his. Pulling her along, he lead the way to the first jewelry store he found that was open.

“I can’t afford any of this stuff.” She sighed, looking at sparkling necklaces and bracelets.

“Why not?”

“I’m poor.” She laughed, dragging out the word as if it was a joke but tears gathered in her eyes just the same. “Gotta make sure I’ve got money for rent and groceries.”

“Do you need a prince to sweep you off your feet and save you?” He joked, dancing her down the length of the jewelry case.”

“Princes don’t exist in real life. They make you think they do and leave.”

“They do in England.” Tom nodded wisely. “I’ll buy you a necklace. Any one you want.”

“You can’t!” She protested. “They’re expensive.”

“It’s my fault you lost it.” He leaned down and kissed her nose, much like she had done to him. “And I can afford it.”

“I can’t. I’m drunk but I’m not drunk enough to take handouts.”

“What if we were married. Then could I buy you a necklace?” They nearly tripped over the chairs in front of a lower section of the counter.

“It would be your job.” her smile was as intoxicating as the whiskey they had drank all evening. “Too bad we’re not.”

“Then let’s get married.”

~~~~~<3

HEADCANON: Home

Building off of this, the apartment Laxus is currently staying in isn't exactly something that he'd meant to stay in this long. Things have just kinda...kept happening and he hasn't had a chance to look into anything else.

Since it's been a while now since everything Happened and things have calmed down, Laxus has gotten settled in a house on the outskirts of Magnolia. The place is big enough for him + the Raijinshuu and has a spare bedroom besides, and a few of the guild (namely Cana, Gray, Mira, and Erza) know where it is. It's usually unlocked if he or any of the Raijinshuu are home (because walk in, he dares you), but when no one is home it's locked up and the aforementioned friends know where a spare key is if needed (the location changes every few months but with MCLs being commonplace, it's easy to notify everyone).

He was probably one of the ones least affected by the seven-year gap, as he'd already cleaned his place out prior to that when he was kicked out of the guild. What he'd arrived on the island with was basically all he'd kept, the rest either being sold/put in storage or given to Makarov if it had 'sentimental value'. (His ever-present coat was likely in his bag, I don't think he let that out of his sight for a second, but the area he'd been in before heading to Tenrou was too warm for it.)

He's never been one to keep a lot of stuff lying around, generally, except a home gym that he did end up losing during the gap. It sucked, but he at least had some jewel with him when he got back (and his accounts had been transferred to Ivan while he was gone, who gave them back upon hearing of their return). Between getting back and the GMG he really didn't bother with it, as they were leaving town for the three months before the Games to train regardless, and once they got back things were sorta hectic but he did find the small apartment he'd keep until shortly after the war with Alvarez. After Fairy Tail disbanded, he wasn't really sure what to make of things, and had kept up with the rent/going to the apartment once a month to take care of things but was about to give it up before Gajeel and the others kicked down the door and pulled him and his team back. (They also had an apartment they probably shared closer to Blue Pegasus, for the time they were there.)

Now that Fairy Tail's back in action and he's officially staying in/near Magnolia again, he let himself splurge and get a new set of gym equipment, but the stuff at the guild is a bit...sturdier for what he's looking for out of it. He can usually be found at the guild early in the mornings working out, and keeps his equipment at home for if he's not feeling like making the trip out or needs to think and doesn't want to be bothered.

Can you elaborate on what is weird about how you play stardew valley, cuz I saw your tags on that game poll and now I’m really curious lol

im incredibly meticulous in how i play stardew but im also very chaotic in how i play stardew . i also play a LOT of stardew so i guess i just assume im a little crazy about it . when i was talking to my dad about it yesterday he was staring at me like O_o even tho he was the one who got me into the game

some examples i can give u:

i always play with at least 4 tabs of the wiki open to find out what's most profitable / what ppl's loved items are / see everyone's schedules bc im not taking chances running across town to find out that clint's at the community center like it's just too much

i also have a huge pinterest board of just stardew related advice specifically on which crops are best to put in kegs / preserves and have about 50 each of kegs and preservers

the majority of my chests aren't sorted, just shit thrown together in areas that are convenient to me

despite this i hoard all materials and all my money and im currently sitting on about... 4.5 million gold. plus some bc not everything ive made has been sold and i have maybe around 100,000g in materials to be sold sitting in a chest labeled "savings account"

im currently playing with the goal of finishing the game as quickly as possible, meaning it's spring year 4 and im at full hearts with about 2/3 of the npcs, all community center bundles are finished, the secret bundle is finished, the trash panda has picked up all the trash in the valley, ginger island has been unlocked, prof snail's museum has been finished, the sleep hut in ginger island is finished (there's more to do in ginger island but. yknow) i have the galaxy sword and access to the anvil to enchant my weapons and ive made it to about lvl 50 of the skull caverns im just ass at combat usually

that post thats like lowkey theyre starving and unloved about the rabbits in stardew is me except i just don't give 3/4 of my animals a lot of space to go outside except my pigs because theyre how i make the most money (capitalist behavior i apologize but also i do feed them all regularly and pet them so. they can deal with not a lot of space its pixels)

maybe im not as weird as i think i am actually when it comes to stardew but mainly i just grind when i play like my current save file has about. 130 hours on it just from the new update bc i go to work, come home, do chores, then play stardew until i go to bed as a way to unwind lol

* * #GRAVEYARD CONVO WITH @ijemmaokafor

Ijemma Okafor -wandering in a daze, Jemma heads to the one place she’s been avoiding since Alex Brookes rode in to deliver a nightmare. Ginny’s cabin. She finds Ike staring at the porch, face unreadable. She stands beside him and stays silent so as not to interrupt.-

ike It looks the same. -lifts his head to look up at the roof, jaw working- We meant to put up that stupid ass weather vane I brought back. The one with the witch instead of the cock. She said it was fitting. -still craned up squinting at the roof, reaches to take Jemma's hand in his-

Ijemma Okafor She gave me the key before she left. She wanted to say something about it and I told her to just hold onto it, we’d talk about it when she got back.

ike -breathes out long, creaky, looking down at her- Jem. I'm sure she ... if it was something really ... -cuts himself off- I can't even say that. She never was good at actually saying the shit she should say. You want me to open it?

Ijemma Okafor -slipping the key into his palm- You gotta do it, ‘cause I can’t.

ike -takes the key, but keeps hold of her hand to tow her with him up onto the porch to unlock the door, making an annoyed sound when it swings open erratically, too fast- Never got that fixed.

Ijemma Okafor -prickly, feeling like an exposed wire- Is this how you’re processing? Thinking of all the things you didn’t get to? -trying to soften the bite in her voice- It’s okay, I’m just trying to figure out how we’re gonna do this dance.

ike I don't process. I'm not a processor. -drops the key in a mug on the kitchen island, shoving his hands in his pockets and staring out the window- But you are. So what've you got figured out, so far?

Ijemma Okafor Sad and mad. That’s what I’ve got so far. Just a roiling ball of sad and mad every time I try to breathe or think. More mad than sad right now.

ike Yeah? What's got you madder instead of sadder?

Ijemma Okafor ‘Cause it was unnecessary. Fucking…waste. Why the hell did we all go along with it?

ike Because people are allowed to make their own decisions about what they wanna do with themselves. And if it wasn't about Ginny's decision ending up with her dead, you'd agree.

Ijemma Okafor We’ve got it fucking good here. -laughing incredulously until the laughing turns into something watery and cracked- Jesus fucking Christ Ike, she’s gone. And for nothing.

ike -turns from the window to loop an arm around her, pulling her in close to tuck against his chest- There's ... there's all this. Everything she did here. To keep the place safe. And you know she was gonna be haunted about Henry every god damn day, Jem, she was getting worse, even. -tucks his nose down against the top of her head- Worse even than in the beginning. She went out to look at those walkers I killed from the -- the bunch of 'em from the peds ward at the hospital. Just to see if he was one of 'em and I missed it.

Ijemma Okafor So what, you think it was inevitable? She was gonna go crazy worrying or get killed out there looking?

ike -a touch taken aback- I wouldn't say inevitable…

Ijemma Okafor -burying her face into the leather of his jacket- Did I fucking…I don’t know, enable her? Being hopeful with her? I feel like I missed something, like I was too…-rueful chuckle- happy.

ike What? How would you -- what? -frowns, feeling like he's missed a step here- I don't see how you being positive about shit would enable anything. Honey, what -- why would that be the case?

Ijemma Okafor I didn’t think she’d ever find him! I hoped she might, but I didn’t think she would, no reasonable chance in hell. I was alright with her going ‘cause I thought it would settle her a little, to see for herself. I was just…just fucking humoring her. And now she’s dead.

ike It's not like you could've stopped her, Jem. Hell, could anything stop Ginny when she wanted to do shit? Or say shit, or start shit??

Ijemma Okafor No…no, and I loved her for it. -digging her fingers into his sides- I told her I loved her and she couldn’t say it back. Said she wanted to but she couldn’t and I told her it was okay, I could wait and now I’m just…hanging. All half finished.

ike -freezes in her grip- You ... -he wraps his arms around her tighter, face gone tight and stony as he stares around at the familiar kitchen- You loved her. You were in love with her.

Ijemma Okafor yeah, Ike…I was in love with her. Couldn’t help it.

ike Of course you couldn't. Not with the heart you got. -presses a kiss to the top of her head, lingering there- I wish she could've said it back to you. Done that much. I know you told her it was okay but it's ... not.

Ijemma Okafor She couldn’t quite let go of Kat…she talked more about Henry, but Kat was always there too. And I was okay with that, god, I didn’t even mind sharing her. I just wanted her to let herself have something good and now

ike Well, you deserved to -- okay. Okay. -forcibly swallows what he'd been about to say- We can leave everything for now. You don't have to take care of moving out any of her stuff. We used to, uh, talk about what to do with her things if she died, so I pretty much know where it should all go. I can do it later.

Ijemma Okafor -stunned- She told you all that?

ike -shrugs- It wasn't anything dramatic. We were joking about it. You know how she was. But then we got to talking about it kinda half for real, so, yeah.

Ijemma Okafor -sobering suddenly- What about her? I was only half paying attention to council shit, is anyone gonna go out there to find her body? She should -taking a steadying breath- she should be here.

ike Okay. We'll take care of it. You don't need to worry about that. But she might ... you know she might not be there, Jem.

Ijemma Okafor -having not even considered that possibility—because that happens to dead people, not to her Ginny—Jemma sags against Ike and sobs- Don’t send anybody else out if it’s gonna get them killed.

ike No, I won't. I'll do it.

Ijemma Okafor -frantic- Don’t you get killed either, Ike, I won’t survive it, I’m telling you right now, I won’t survive it.

ike Jem, Jem, c'mon, shhhh. You know that won't happen, c'mon. -jostles her a little bit in his arms so he can look down at her face, so she can look up at him- I'm indestructible, Juju, we all know that.

Ijemma Okafor Don’t you fucking say that, don’t say it out loud

ike -grins, dropping a kiss to her forehead- This ain't a movie. I can say I've got a bad feeling about this and nothing's gonna happen. -breathes in deep, looking around- There's something Ginny wanted to give you. It was in the list when we talked. If you want it now.

Ijemma Okafor -face brightening and crumpling all at once- Oh god, do I need to sit down?

ike No! No, it's good. It's not ... romantic or anything. Or maybe it is? I'm not sure now. It's kinda silly.

Ijemma Okafor -wiping her eyes and clearing her throat- Okay, lay it on me.

ike Stay right here. -trots off to a linen closet, reaching way up to the top shelf -- easy, for him -- and comes back to her with a red-and-white striped popcorn box, the reusable kind made of plastic- There you go. She said it was too dumb but also not dumb enough to give you just yet. She had her own scale for these things, don't ask me to explain. -inside is a rolled-up copy of one of those movie magazines cinemas gave out for free, and two sealed pairs of 3-D glasses-

Ijemma Okafor -takes the gift from his hands and fails to suppress the saddest smile she’s ever felt- I really, really loved her.

ike She took that with her. At least she got to know that. -one more time, clenches his jaw and taps his teeth together to keep from saying anything else about that- You doing okay? You wanna get outta here? She has a really great set of bedsheets she mentioned, we could grab those for you--

Ijemma Okafor -shifts the popcorn box into one hand and squeezes her free arm around Ike- That actually sounds nice. Feel like I’ve got part of her with me?

ike Yeah. -leans against her for a minute before going back to the linen closet, returning with a set of worn-soft yellow floral sheets- Bea saw 'em one time hung out to dry and I think she had an eight minute inner quarrel about whether or not she could get away with stealing these. Wandered off muttering about American cotton to herself in the end. Ginny watched the whole thing and cackled.

Ijemma Okafor I don’t know what we wanna do with this place, but I don’t want it to just rot away. Out of all the places here, it feels like a home. Don’t want that going to waste.

ike You could stay here. Not right away if you don't want to, but you could. I could go put these sheets on the bed.

Ijemma Okafor -taking the sheets gently from his hands- I’ll take these with…and think about staying here. Later.

ike Okay. -rubs his hand down her arm, grasping just above her elbow, chewing on something before he says, almost helplessly- She should've fuckin' told you. That she loved you. That was cruel of her. She could be fuckin' cruel as shit sometimes, Jem, and that -- that was it.

Ijemma Okafor -face suddenly turning hard and cold- Ike…it wasn’t cruelty. Maybe shitty, maybe human weakness, but not cruel. I didn’t…fuck, I didn’t tell you about that so you could resent her for it.

ike Yeah, well. You can't control how I feel about her. And maybe I have my own things to resent her for, it's not all about you.

Ijemma Okafor -sensing his hurt in his petulant tone- Okay, you’ve got your own shit to resent her for. And be pissed at her on my behalf if you like, I love you too. But don’t tell me how she did or didn’t love me.

ike Fine. -steps back, reaching over to flick his finger against the mug on the island, the key rattling inside it- You ready to go, or you wanna stay for a while?

Ijemma Okafor You said you don’t process and I let it go for a second, but now I’m asking. Where’s your head?

ike -automatically- Up my ass, is the general consensus. -stops, huffs out a breath, gives her a flat, pained look- I'm upset. Obviously. I don't really wanna talk about it. I have too much other shit to think about for now, so when that runs out, I'll sit down and have a boo-hoo and I'll even tell you all about it if you want.

Ijemma Okafor -directing an unsatisfied look his way- Alright. Thanks for letting me boo-hoo on you.

ike I wasn't ... trying to upset you. I don't want you hurting more than what's already coming down the pike, is all. -quickly- Anyhow. I need to get gone. It all … looks the same. You can lock up.

Ijemma Okafor -aborting the one last hug she was gonna give him- Yeah…I got it.

ike -hovers awkwardly for a moment, then darts out, leaving her alone in the place-

[30 hours in]

After leaving the town I stumbled upon the altar of the thief by chance (luckily Throné was in the party) and learned what that symbol on the map meant, which reminded me that I had seen it before near the scholar license place

I went to check back on it (with Osvald in the party of course) and my intuition was correct ! The ex skills unlocked were also pretty promising (especially Osvald's since I'm always buffing him to hell and back and having an easy way to spread the nuke setup around opens up new synergies, and Throné gave her AoE for breaking which is always nice to have)

After that I got back on track to do Partitio and Osvald's crossed path and was taken aback by how nice the artwork for it was (I'm very much the target audience for it and I have accepted my fate)

It was really nice to see some more interaction between these two, and I like the way they contrast one another in their ways, so I'm excited to see what the second part will have in store for them

I kept that crossed path stride to tackle Temenos and Throné's, with yet another really nice artwork and fun interactions between them (Temenos keeps meeting my comedic expectations and I love him for it)

With all that accomplished, I did some more exploration to look for all the licenses and altars I knew I was still missing, while also trying to reach some new cities

The hunter license and altar were pretty easy to find within the island's limited scope, and I immediately gave the hunter job to Osvald (he looks like a dork, the weapon variety is always appreciated, and the crit support skill was tempting too)

I also risked life and limb to reach a nameless village beyond a high level area where I was thankful to the scholar support skill that reduces encounters (I would have been obliterated otherwise I think)

The dancer altar and license were a little more stressful to find because of the area's higher level but I managed, and gave Ochette the job since I didn't really know what to do with her and extra buffing is nice (considering how under levelled she was especially)

The cleric license and altar was more of a lucky find while going to Hikari's second chapter, but that meant AoE heals and staff/light magic for Castti, and she deserves the world

Hikari's arena arc was fun, and I got to abuse his overpowered sword some more (I don't regret giving it to him he now deals absurd amounts of physical dmg and makes challenges for more skills a breeze (but he has terribly low SP))

This chapter unlocked a new crossed path for him and Agnea, and I can't say no to more Agnea story so I went for it (and yet another pretty artwork)

I really they were going to get scammed at some but it didn't happen... yet. It might happen in the second part. Maybe.

Next was Throné's second chapter for the Father route and I won't pretend I expected the guy to go down so soon but I didn't think Throné's would be not only foiled but masterfully so. At least he doesn't seem to actively want her dead but damn... next confrontation should be interesting to say the least

More exploration leads to more altars and licenses, this time the apothecary one on the way to Ochette's second chapter for Cateracta. I didn't know who to give the license to at the time so I kept it in my back pocket for when I'll have a plan

Speaking of Ochette, I wasn't hooked by her second storyline either, but at the very least Acta is adorable

Before Castti got too over levelled I changed course and did her second chapter in Sai, with the warrior altar and license on the way (which went straight to Throné, that simply looked too good and she is already physically-oriented so the stat boost was nice (but really that red is too good to pass up on))

Castti's story was pretty interesting, it sets up some more mystery with the plague doctor-masked person, the (poisonous ?) purple rain, the abandoned village (which I had been to and could recognise, that felt rewarding) and more evidence that although things seem suspicious, Castti was always a good noodle willing to help as much as she could

Up next is the Castti and Ochette crossed path, and also finally getting back to more of Osvald's revenge story before he becomes exceedingly powerful (not that I would mind) for the recommended level

Octopath Traveler II delayed playthrough blogging

[10 hours in]

Contains light spoilers of some early chapters I guess

I started the journey with Agnea because she looked like a sweetie (and she is) and she really has the most jrpg "leave of this small village to see the big wide world to make your dream come true" beginning

I got her to allure a villager that replenishes SP with every dancer skill she uses and she's been the cornerstone to most battles ever since

The second traveler I got was Partitio and he's a funny lad, I love his vibe, hat, jacket, and speech ! Also, the atmosphere of his storyline was a nice dramatic change of pace after the cozy first one I got

I headcanon that Roque's betrayal was in fact very much a divorce with Partitio's dad and I cannot wait to see how that applies to future chapters (I do hope it ages like fine wine rather than milk)

Partitio's combat performance was pretty solid despite a lack of AoE but the weapon variety for breaking was the early highlight

I ignored the fork in the road that lead to Hikari in favor of recruiting Castti because I wanted a healer and I feel slightly guilty (but also not at all)

Castti is literally so nice to people I can't wait to see if she really has an extremely shady past that will torment her for at least 1 chapter before she decides that she's going to be a good noddle in spite of all

Her concocting is pretty fun but I wish I had more diffusing serum (I can make do with latent power for now but it'd more fun to let her do some fun nuking)

Castti is also extremely tanky (she's the only one I have with over 1k HP so far) so she was a very welcome addition to the party

The next step in the journey was recruiting Osvald (I wanted to start with him but the 2 forced chapters made me decide to instead make him the reward for reaching the eastern continent) after I ignored the boat that lead to Ochette and wandered around until I stumbled upon a boat that lead really close to Osvald on the map and eventually found him face-down in the snow (which makes my decision to no start with him even better)

His first two chapters cemented him as one of my favorites beyond the visual vibes I got from the first selecting menu, and his skillset was a cherry on top

AoE magic nuking when I already have some buffing and BP donating in my party ? I'm sold. Free weakpoint reveals every battle ? Even better ! Osvaldo battle voicelines ? Yes please !

After that I found the scholar license and decided that Agnea should also learn to buff spell intensity to make my Osvaldo nuking engine even stronger (she's been doing great and I'm very proud of her)

Since it was on the way to Agnea's second chapter for which she was at the recommended level, I went on to recruit Temenos and he did not disappoint ! He really gave me an impression of being a seemingly upstanding fellow who is in fact not only shady but just the right blend of ambiguous tease with genuine words thrown in (props to his voice acting that really sells it)

His detective moment was also pretty cool, especially after seeing the duality of his abilities to get people to follow him without risk of failure and his (very shady) coercing to get more intel

I considered replacing Castti with him as my party healer but he is very squishy compared to her, and she also has weapon diversity and more consistent debuffing over him so for the time being he's just chilling at the tavern waiting for a party composition that makes him shine

On my way to the big city I found the inventor license and could simply not resist giving it to Partitio it simply fit him too well (and more weapons to break with is very nice), although I'm thinking of changing it later to try a Temenos build that would allow him to break even more and coerce better

Now onto the big city to recruit Throné and let Agnea's story unfold further !

#octopath traveler 2 #ot2 #ramblings and musings #the travel banter really is the gift that keeps on giving #Ochette giving others nicknames is very precious #and every conversation where Osvald just goes “.............” half the time had me giggling to myself #shavie games

Know Your Place

Summary: Christopher Jamal Evans puts your ass in place.

Chris Jamal Evans x Reader

Warnings: SMUT, cursing, aggressive behavior (nothing serious), mentions of cheating, implied smut, degrading.

This is based off of Barbershop: The Next Cut with Terri, Rashad, and Draya, with their whole situation😂.

"Just get in the damn car and meet me at the house. We're not doing this here."

"Fine!" You rush around to your car door and slam it shut once you get inside. You watch Chris go to his, also slamming it shut but not for the same reason as you. You were more so the reason.

Starting the car and driving off with him right on your tail, you turn the music up to drown out the many cars that honk at your recklessness and poor wheel skills. If only they knew, they would be acting just like you.

You had come over to the building where Chris was shooting a movie with his female costar, Melanie. You absolutely despised her because she often came onto Chris. Both infront of you and when you weren't around. Of course he shot her down every time because he knows better. He knew you weren't the one to be played with.

But today, when you didn't see him as soon as you walked inside the shoot, you scan the room for Melanie. Not seeing her either, you began to roam around through the halls. You look in a room and see his stuff on a couch inside. You walk into the room calling his name.

"Chris? Baby, where you at?" You check in the bathroom and its empty. "Boy, I got your nasty seafood salad. Where the hell are you?" You scan the room one more time before smacking your lips and heading to the door.

Chris was in the closet changing when Melanie came in trying to feel up on him. He was getting ready to finally cuss her out, but he heard you yelling for him and so he freaked, shutting the door. He specifically told her not to make a sound and she followed orders, up until the last minute.

As you hit the threshold, you hear something hit the floor. The sound seemed to have come from the closet. You pause, scared at first because it was evident that no one was in the room except you. But then you grow suspicious because Chris and that bitch were both missing. You turn around slowly and stalk towards the door.

Chris was fuming when she knocked the box over, but then started to freak when he heard you walking over to the closet door. He gave her the look with a mix of panic and 'I'm gonna fucking kill you'. He sees the door handle turn and prepares for your wrath because you damn sure were gonna give it to him.

You open the door and there was your man and Melanie. Her hands were covering her mouth, eyes wide. Your eyes relocate to Chris and his shirt was halfway on his torso. He clambers to get it fully in, stepping towards you and away from her.

"Babe, just listen and you'll understand everything. She came in while I was changing and-" he doesn't get a chance to finish, for your voice overpowered his.

"You got five seconds to explain to me what the fuck you're doing." You hand is still on the door, not planning on letting them out the closet just yet. Chris was confused, but discerned that you weren't talking to him. You were talking to Melanie. He looks back at her and she was now biting her nail, clearly anxious.

"Look, Y/N, I really don't want any problems." She is trying to be straight about it, but her voice is fastened with fear. She knew exactly what you were capable of and she still is trying to bullshit you.

"You don't want want no problems? You've been trying to sleep with my man since the first day you found out you were working with him!" You must look like boo boo the fool for her to think she was pulling this shit on you.

"And as for you Christopher," you turn towards him, jabbing your finger in his chest, "what the hell are you thinking? Are y'all just lying to me and actually messing around?" You had no problem whooping both their asses.

"Y/N no! Listen, she came inside the closet while I was changing and I was going to kick her out, but I heard you coming and I just...freaked out." He's trying to dissolve the situation, but is only making it worse.

"You instead of coming out, you decide to stay in there with her? You see how this is worse right? You're just giving her the benefit to think she could even get with you. This is entertainment for her. Don't you realize that?" Now your hand was off the door and balled into a fist because you were 2.5 seconds from losing it.

"Baby, I was going to put my foot down this time. I know its long overdue, but I didn't want any issues with the people I work with. And I should've realized how unfair that was to you. I'm sorry. But don't think I would ever cheat on you." He grabs your arm and pushes you back so he could get out the closet.

"Yeah, you damn right. All this could've been avoided. She's harassing you. You need to report her ass!" You snag your arm away from him and point back at her, who's now trying to ease out of the closet. You catch her and she runs off, you not far behind. You damn sure were not a runner, but you were going super sonic right now.

She turns down she same way you came to find them and Chris is right on your ass too. You guys get to the front of the building and you lunge for her, but no contact was made for Chris had you in a hold. You brawl against his wide chest and eventually give up when he doesn't let go.

People are watching in absolute shock and some even were laughing their asses off. It would've been even funnier if Chris had let you get one hit in. Of course that didn't happen since he scooped you up with minimal effort.

"Y/N chill! Stop, you're making a fucking scene!" He grabs on your flailing arms, yanking them back.

"I don't give a shit! Let me get her. Just one good time," you plead and scream at the same time. He literally drags you away outside with great struggle since you weren't giving in. When he got you out there, you accepted your defeat and he let you go, watching you extra closely in case you pulled a fast one.

"You should've let me get her! Why the hell you stop me?!" He runs his hands through his hair, obviously frustrated and very much embarrassed. But you could care less. She needed her ass whooped.

"It's not worth it. We need to go now!"

"I don't have to go anywhere!" You could give less of a fuck if the onlookers labeled you as 'the angry black woman'. Because infact, you are a black woman. And damn right you were angry.

"Just get in the damn car and meet me at the house. We're not doing this here!"

"Fine!"

After reminiscing over the lovely previous moments, you pull up at your even lovelier home. You hop out the car and open the gate. Walking back to the car you peek and see Chris with his arm against the window, leaning on it and watching you. For sure he had a headache by now.

Instead of pulling up all the way into the driveway, you park at the end, leaving no room for Chris to drive in.

"Really? Pull all the way in!" You sit for a minute with your arms crossed for a bit of rebellion before complying like a child. Only because you didn't want to walk the extra way to the door of course. When you park again, Chris pulls in and gets out to shut the gate.

You were already unlocking the door and stepping in, but before you could slam it in his face, he was right behind you. You toss the keys and kick off your shoes.

"Where are you going?" You hear him call from the front of the house.

"None of your business." You were just going to the fridge to get your pineapple juice. You drink it almost every single day. And you definitely needed some right now.

"Okay we need to discuss what the fuck just happened. What the hell was that Y/N?" He's standing across the kitchen island from you staring in anger.

"Well for one, I caught you in a closet half naked with that bitch after I called your name repeatedly. Then she's playing in my face and you're trying to defend her! You really need an explanation for my actions, Chris?" You close the bottle and slam it on the counter.

"Look Y/N, I explained to you what happened. I am sorry. I knew that if I had came out that closet with her, you'd still react the same way, probably even worse. I was literally fearing for my life, no joke." He puts his hands up in surrender. You almost laugh.

"I rather you just have came out and told me straight up. Yeah, I would be mad of course. Who wouldn't? But you made it more difficult yourself." You still have an attitude and even though he apologized, you still wanted to be mad.

"Baby, I tell you you're beautiful everyday. Why? Because I want you to know that no other woman could ever be at the level you are for me. I want you to know that you're the only one I see and there isn't anyone else for me." He's now standing infront of you, his 6'0 figure imposing over your frame.

You can't and won't lie that those words had you in your feels. You swear, Geminis really are sweet talkers. You could've gave in right then. But not just yet.

"You sound like a real bitch right now." You fold your arms and look at him with testy eyes. You slightly regret saying that because what he said was genuine. But who are you without some back talk?

His eyes go caliginous. You've only seen this a one time when you've stepped out of line with him. Your big mouth could argue for days, but you never held a grudge. You kind of forced yourself to keep going as if you were still upset. Stubborn was an understatement.

You scratch your straightened hair nervously before flattening it back down. You internally hope it wasn't obvious that you lamented what you had just said.

"I already apologized to you and explained what happened. Now you can be mature and we can have a real conversation or you can be childish and act like you're still upset and we can end it right here." He steps closer to you, if that's even humanly possible. "But this is will be the first and last time you call me a bitch. Got it?"

He's breathing heavily on your face. If only you could see your face right now. It would read shock, with a bit of fear. He never checked you like this and let you get away with a lot. But this right here, was well deserved. But the way he's over you and his voice lowering with a sharp tone had you...turned on.

Something about him putting you in place made you wet and excited. All the fear had vanished almost immediately. You finally respond.

"Yes," you say quietly, nodding your head. "I'm sorry." Your eyes remained on him looking up through your lashes nibbling your lip. If only you knew what it was doing to him.

The sight of your body go automatically submissive to him after he got firm with you threw him in a complete frenzy. He was dominant most times, but you had many moments where you didn't back down to a challenge and took the lead. You not clapping back and apologizing threw him off a slight bit, but did not disappoint him. It turned him on.

"Good girl." He grabs your arm, spins you around so that your back is turned to him and bends down next to your ear.

"Go into the room, take off everything but your panties and lie on the bed. Mkay?" He moved his hands behind your arm to your lower back. You might as well save yourself the embarrassment and take off your panties too because once he sees the tropical storm, it's a wrap burrito. But you nod your head in compliance.

He gives you a smack on the butt and pushes you forward. You walk the rest of the way to the room and follow his exact orders. You remove every clothing item except the saltwater cloth covering your most needy part. You lay on the bed and wait for him.

He comes in a few moments later and eyes you down, making sure you followed his instructions. Of course you would. He stands in front of the bed and starts to remove his clothes. The entire time his eyes alternate from your body to your eyes. It made you nervous, but still excited.

"I'm very much used to your little tantrums and what not, but there's a limit. And when you pass that limit and step out of line, you need to be taught a lesson." He's in just his briefs by the end of his sentence and crawls in the bed.

You adjust yourself onto your back, shamelessly welcoming him to help himself to you. He positions in between your legs and lowers his face to yours, lips gliding against yours and pulling back when you try to kiss him. You pout and he smirks a little.

"Tell me what you want, honey" he whispers as he rubs up your leg to your thigh, grazing his fingers against your soaked panties. Just when you thought you couldn't get any wetter. Damn.

"I want you to touch me. Please." Your hands are gripping the sheets just thinking about his hands on your body. You completely forgot about messing up your hair as you throw your head back when he starts circling his fingers on your clit.

"I'm starting to think that this isn't very punishing for you, sweetheart." He picks up pace and reaches for your boob, kneading it full in his palms. "You seem to really be enjoying it. A little too much."

You weren't even listening to him, only chasing your orgasm, rolling your hips against his forceful touch. You successfully make it a few seconds to cumming before he snatches his finger away. You pick your head up right away, looking appalled.

"Why'd you stoooop?" you whine out. He looks at you innocently.

"Hmm that's just something us bitches like to do." Before you could respond, he flips you over and smacks your right cheek. "These have been on way too long." He pulls your panties off quicker than Pietro Maximoff. Tossing them to the floor, he starts his teasing.

"Damn, Y/N. All this is for me? If this doesn't tell me you loved the beginning of your lesson, I don't know what does."

He drags his fingers through your wet lips, coating them with your wetness. He brings his hands to his face to taste the mess you made for him.

"Hmm. That pineapple juice is kicking in fast."

The entire time he's talking, you're moving around coding him to stop teasing you and do something to make you feel good.

"You really are a desperate whore, huh?" You moan in the sheets in agreement. You were never into name calling, but it was something with Chris that made you love it.

He lowers down to your pussy, breathe frisking over it. You shiver and wait for him to start.

"As much as both you and I would love this, you don't deserve it. So ass up." You internally start cursing him out, calling him all things forbidden. But you comply and slightly lift your lower half.

Chris gets directly behind you and lines up with your entrance. When did he even take his briefs off? You inhale sharply at the contact and moan as he slips inside you with little to no effort. He fills you quick, starting his thrusts right away.

Your left cheek is against the mattress and both hands are gripping the sheets.

"Oh my- fuck!"

"How's it feel baby?" He asks you, going deeper at every thrust back inside you. Between the loud claps of your bodies, your pornographic moans and the sounds of your WAP, he knew the answer.

"It feels so good Chris" you manage to get out between breathes that were suddenly hard to take. You suddenly get a hard slap on your right cheek, making you squeal.

"That's not my name." You quickly correct yourself.

"Sorry..Daddy."

"Look at this" he starts thrusting faster, both of you not far from climax.

"Just an hour ago you were bitchin' about me and now you're basically grovelling at my feet. You can barely make a word. I guess I'm not such a bitch now, huh? " He locks your arms behind you and you automatically lift your ass up further, helping him slide in you even easier.

"No Daddy, I'm s-sorry." He groans and grabs a fistful of your hair and leans down to your ear. Normally you would be pissed because he touched your hair, especially since it was just done. But you could give less of a damn right now.

"Yeah I bet you are. Would a bitch be fucking you like this? Hm?" He pounded into you hard at every word. Your face in the mattress, you let out a scream that would have the neighbors dialing 911.

"No, baby- oh GOD" you yell, right at your peak. Just a couple more thrusts away and you were gone. Chris recognized that yell. He wanted to send you off right.

"Go ahead and cum for me baby. But just remember,"

He was right behind you and close himself.

"No matter how smart you get with me, at the end of the day, you're always gonna be a little slut for me." The last 4 words sent you over the edge and you cum all over him. He doesn't fall short and fills up the rest of you.

"Fuuuck" he let's out as his seed spills inside you.

His body collapses next to you and you find the energy to move your body. You turn and look at him with this dumb smile on your face. He reciprocates with the same dumb smile and pats down your hair. You slap his arm, turning your nose up at him.

"Ow. Why'd you do that for?" He rubs his now red arm.

"That's what you get for messing up my hair. You're gonna give me money to get it done again." Remembering, you hit his arm again.

"Baby, what the hell?"

"That's for also making me leave my pineapple juice out the fridge."

Idek what I was doing here 😭 This is the kind of stuff I daydream about, but it never looks as good written out 🥴

September Roadmap babyyyyyy

Here's the link to the blog post.

Let's go over it together, shall we?

Elusive Target Arcade

September 1

To kick off September we have new Elusive Target Arcades with a very illuminating unlock. In this Arcade players will take on The Infiltrators which consists of: The Paparazzo, The Stowaway, and The Collector. With these come one complication – you may only change disguise once. Players can also go head to head with: The Twin, The Politician and The Black Hat in The Illusory Elusive Target Arcade. In this batch pacifications are limited.

The first batch sounds more interesting than the second one, but both feature two of my least favourite complications.

Yeah, I don't know what to say to this. Can't we get one of those topless raver outfits NPCs in Berlin are wearing instead?

It doesn't look bad, it's just... There are a few outfits in this trilogy I want to get before we go full GTA Online.

September 15

Come September 15, you can complete your Ducky Collection with the stylish “anonymous” Lucky Ducky Suit. Don’t be fooled by this lovely, soft yellow hoodie, decorated with a cute “duck” motif. Though it might show that your blood is yellow – be bold, because you know it’s stone cold. Black skinny jeans included. Complete one of the new Elusive Target Arcades The Blusterous or The Bombastic – and the suit is yours. Good duck.

But... You didn't tell us which targets we'll get??

This outfit is actually quite adorable. Not something 47 would choose to wear if he had the choice, though. Maybe Diana got it for him so he has something cosy to wear for their weekends at home.

Featured Contracts

September 8

It’s time to go island hopping in this upcoming batch of Featured Contracts. The theme is Visit Ambrose, and takes players back to the newest location in HITMAN 3. Visit Ambrose is a tricky theme, its main focus is the new HITMAN 3 location. But that being said, if you can find a sneaky way to frame it around Visit Ambrose without use of the level – it still counts.

Looking forward to those, even though I've fallen a bit behind on featured contracts since they stopped adding unlocks.

Elusive Targets

September 16: The Rage

Your target’s codename is ‘The Rage’ and he’s back in Chongqing once again. He’s a former middleweight champion who’s on the run for taking one fight way too far. He didn’t get the nickname ‘Crusher’ for no reason, so make sure you stay on your toes for this one.

Actually a nice target. Happy to see this one's a Year Two Edition target (all of them are), so I get to kill him again. Not sure how to do it this time, though.

September 23: The Stowaway

It’s time to jump on a boat and go back to the Isle of Sgàil to find this elusive target. Your target is Jimmy Chen, a cynical and paranoid tabloid journalist who literally kills for a good story. Your mission is to eliminate him and recover his dictaphone. But be careful, and don’t let him spot you – because this target has some unique behavior and will react to your presence.

I feel like I've killed this target way too many times by now. Maybe I'll let him change his disguise and move on a few times. I usually kill him while he's still wearing his starting disguise.

September 30: The Surgeons

Your targets are Dr. Pavel Frydel and Dr. Akane Akenawa, brilliant and unethical transplant surgeons. They’ve arrived at the hyper-exclusive GAMA facility in Hokkaido, where they’ll be for 10 days starting September 30. One surgery went wrong, and they made a very powerful enemy. A billionaire who lost his son. Your client offers a substantial bonus if the targets are eliminated in a manner appropriate to the death of their former patient. Poetic justice? Good luck.

I like them! They're interesting, they have funny dialogue, and I like that they hang out and walk around at different locations.

Free Location: Hokkaido

September 22

The Free Location Rotation gives all players the chance to enjoy a location from the World of Assassination. This time you’re going to Japan to visit the hyper-exclusive GAMA facility in Hokkaido. You have 10 days to enjoy everything the location has to offer. From the hot springs to life-saving surgery. Time to beat your old high score on Doki Doki Pow Pow. Have fun.

That's nice for people who don't own Hitman 2016. There'll be lots of whining on Reddit anyway, though, especially since you have to own all three games to play the Arcade.

TL;DR

Not a bad month, but the roadmap is missing information on the second group of ETA batches, and... Yeah, September is both 47's and Diana's birthday month. I would've lowkey expected something more birthday-themed.

Hey, maybe Diana got him the ducky hoodie as a birthday gift?
