#which is HARD i am CRYING T___T

So the rumours and speculations are true then. About Lucita Azaro, she doesn't love you as a man. But the power of the crown, that was she crave for, desire for. It's saddening really imagine in the future that a possible power struggle might commence between King Romus and Queen Lucita, and if Lucita won? maybe she could dispose of King Romus, since he was a obstruction on her plan. Maybe a little poisoning and such like Romus's father god that's really sickening, and what about the child? she could established a regency as her being a queen regent and when the king have reach the certain age. She could established a puppet king. Or maybe proclaimed herself as the Queen then. God power corrupts...

and i would be there going YAAAASSSS QUEEN 💅👑 SLAYYYY (WHOEVER STANDS IN YOUR WAY) 💋

ok but supporting women's wrongs joke aside, it's crazy how your perception of her can change depending on the choices you made. she kinda reminds me of lucian and how you can probably go the whole game thinking he's incredibly loyal to you, but then you play again and you block him in his path and it's like OH. he will sell you to satan for a corn chip, huh :).

but you're so right, i can totally see her poisoning romus...i mean, we're all in agreement that she's had the training, right? 👀 and yeah, that kid is not ruling without his mother's hand pulling all the strings.

good for her, honestly. we love to see a girlboss achieve total domination.

I couldn't control it when y/n saw Gojo and Sera together that I literally crushed the bread in my hand cuz I was having breakfast while reading the new update. It's sad that y/n feels like she has to go all through this torture for being with Satoru. I had fun reading the part where Naoya was pissing Gojo off but Naoya is still Naoya(that misogynistic bij). I literally cried when Toji said Gojo's lucky to still have his wife. Pain. It was all too much but I think Sera should expect these kind of things. Satoru is married to y/n and even if it's not out of love, there are parts to be played. I can't wait for y/n to let it all out. Ms.ghorl deserves all the good things in the world and I wish Gojo will go down miserably.

This was kinda long I am so sorry. Thank youuuu for today's update 💗 Take care,aiii❤️

hope mc takes gojo’s words to heart and acts like she doesn’t care anymore. it’s like all the fboys channeled their energy into making gojo 😭 y/n also had chest pains again, which makes me wonder if she’s sick. also toji’s comment on how some wish their wife was still around :(( i hope y/n and him get together because he seems so supportive of her dream. it was so nice to see her have someone to talk to. maybe she can become a designer and build an empire with toji and leave gojo’s toxicity

Aaaaaa the chapter was so goooooooood!! Toji my man let's run away and merge our companies and live a happy life! T^T Also, YO I was heavily sweating when y/n mentioned that Gojo can't make her pregnant hdkfbskxnskx Y/N YOU IDIOT 👀💦 And I'm really angy that Gojo blames y/n for his stupid ass falling asleep as well hskfbakjlebdw--- ANYWAY thank you for this chapter, heartache 10/10 would cry again. -🐳 (I hope this Emoji is still free)

after this chapter, i really hope that the mc has the courage to snap at gojo. like what he said was so hurtful i gasped 😹😭 i can’t wait for the mc to have her moment and be like “ i’m the reason why you’re getting so much attention w/o me, you ain’t shit” or “i’ll finally be the villian you portray me as”

i want the mc to have her #girlboss moment so bad 😭 and runaway with toji and be a great step mom to megumi living her with a company of designing clothes! honestly, sera and gojo deserve each other at this point bc they will both be their own downfall :/

anyway, you’re writing is absolutely so beautiful and amazing. i hope you stay well and happy! until next time ‼️💞

Spoilers Ep 15

Guys...my heart...I am emotionally wrecked after this episode. How do I live after seeing that ending sequence??? Here comes my fav moments from the episode in no particular order:

1) When the village ahjumma gang rushed out to protect Man Bok's wife and son sobs I love their friendship so much

2) Pyo Chi Su!!! When he was so willing to sacrifice himself so the other two maknaes could get away...pls TT

3) When the boys got caught in the hospital and Seri rushed to them and started crying, Istg I was tearing up bc the pain in her eyes is so evident, props to Yejin for being such a great actress as usual. And when her mom comforted her I'm soft u_u

4) Junghyuk's CCTV moments where everyone was smitten by his chivalry and overall gentleman-like behaviour and the NIS dude was SO DONE hahahahahhaha

5) When Seri fainted and then the NIS guy told JH and he rushed out to see her being carried away fck Hyunbin's acting speaks VOLUMES

6) Seungjun giving the ring to Dan and telling her this is all he could manage for now and that if she is still single next time he meets her, would she give him a chance? I MELTED I JUST WANT THEM TO BE HAPPY

7) Dan's mom telling her brother that his worst trait is remembering unnecessary things HAHAHAHAH

8) Junmyeok asking the NIS agent if JH was okay bc usually in south korean dramas the lead character would die at that point - I LAUGHED SO HARD QKKDKQKZKAKS HAHAHAHAHA

9) Chi Su's lie detector scene akzkakzka and maknae Eundong getting all emotional over seeing his village sobs

10) Okay that entire sequence at the ending is so beautifully shot. The parallel of what is happening to both Seung Jun and Seri, of them fighting for their lives.

Seung Jun saying he was wrong bc he realised that if he died, Dan would cry for him. And that fact makes him both happy and sad - fck istg I just want both couples to be happy goddamnit tvn stop playing with our hearts...(also shout out to him ripping his flight ticket like THAT!!! WHEW!!)

Seri saying even in her dream and even knowing everything that would happen she would still go back to that beginning and go through everything again, just to meet Junghyuk and fall in love with him again and again...sobs I'm weak for lines like this ok it is why I write sappy shyt like this in most of my fanfics I'm fcking ciche like that so for Seri to say THAT...I'm dead in the gutter.

And then you have Junghyuk saying if he could turn back time he wouldnt want to meet Seri so that she would be safe and not be in any of this danger and I just ??? I love both of them so much. The love they have for each other is so pure and from their perspectives I can understand why they chose to think that way. JH has that painful experience of seeing his brother die, and now the only otr person he loves that much might also die and so he would rather sacrifice his happiness just to make sure Seri is always safe and healthy hence not choosing to meet her again if he has the chance to turn back time. Seri on the other hand only knew of what true love and happiness are in North Korea, meeting JH and the soldier gang were blessings in disguise for someone lacking of love and someone who had thought of suicide. Junghyuk taught her to live. He taught her to be alive. So it doesn't matter that she would suffer and may end up even dying because every moment after meeting JH transcended that possibility. Meeting JH made her happier and made her experience true love so that was why she would choose meeting him again and again even for 100 times. Fck the way they love each other is so T___T

The flat line...and the camera showing both Seri and Seungjun...I JUST WANT BOTH MY COUPLES TO BE HAPPY TVN YOU HAVE ONE MORE EPISODE TO GIVE ME A HAPPY ENDING I BEG YOU--

P.s the epilogue had me laughing again NIS dude was like you dont need an analysis to know how in love JH is towards Seri lmfao and that whole slowmo shot of him shielding Seri from the rain under the umbrella (The Classic (2004) feels anybody?) which is tipped more to her side so his shoulder got wet instead...I'm crying I'm crying I want a man like Ri Junghyuk!!!!!! ;A;

YATORI, Yukinora, Kazubisha

Got multiple asks about Yatori–I’m surprised though, y’all know how I feel about this one, right? XDD

Yatori:

vomit / don’t ship / okay / cute / adorable / perfect / beyond flawless / hot damn / screaming and crying / i will ship them in hell

This ship owns my heart and soul. I love it, I love them, I love everything about it. It’s been a long time since a “canon” ship in a manga left me feeling so rejuvenated and peaceful and it just makes me so happy when I see them together.

My very, very favorite about this ship is just how much Hiyori is Yato’s “safe place.” She’s his home, guys. She’s the “place” he returns to, the one he runs to when he feels threatened, the first human he’s brave enough to entrust his entire life to–he’s a thousand+-year-old god, but he needs her. He’s suffered for so long and in so many ways, and then he finally found someone who makes him happy, who brought so many good things into his life, who told him in no uncertain terms that she wants him in her life and values him… She saved him and continues to save him, and the dynamic that they have is so unique and so intriguing to me.

My heart aches at the mere thought of them not being together forever. Adachitoka, do NOT let me down.

Yukinora:

vomit / don’t ship / I’m on the fence / okay / cute / adorable / perfect / beyond flawless / hot damn / screaming and crying / i will ship them in hell

It’s not that I don’t think this ship is cute; quite the contrary, I always thought it must have been somewhat on purpose that Nora and Yukine looked almost exactly the same age, but the context in which ship-like things are unfolding regarding this ship in the actual manga is just a little bit suspicious and stressful to me. Knowing what we know, I feel the current events are almost certainly a trap, and so it’s hard to gauge Nora’s real feelings about this situation. While I think she will almost inevitably be genuinely affected by Yukine’s kindness and golden heart, but how bad are things going to get before we get there?

I think I’m on the fence about this one currently. I am ready to be convinced to ship it, but I’m not quite sold yet.

I wanted Yukine/Nana to happen… T___T

KazuBisha:

vomit / don’t ship / okay / cute / adorable / perfect / beyond flawless / hot damn / screaming and crying / i will ship them in hell

KazuBisha is one of those ships that I love best when things are going horribly wrong, which I guess is a weird thing to say, but what I mean is that normally there are three ways we get romantic plotlines in manga: 1) the characters are oblivious to their own feelings or the other person’s feelings; 2) the characters are too shy to confess and so dance around each other forever and a day; 3) horrible outside forces of drama keep them apart even though they just long to be together.

KazuBisha is somehow ALL OF THOSE AND NONE OF THOSE AT ONCE. It simultaneously defies and embraces tons of romance tropes and the giant collision of all those tensions brings this ship to glorious, glorious painful life. Is Bishamon really unaware of Kazuma’s feelings, or did she ignore them because she knew she couldn’t give him what he wanted? Is Kazuma really too shy to confess fully beyond his “I cherish you!”, or does he already know the answer and can’t bear it? How is it that the only thing really keeping them apart from each other IS THEMSELVES?

Everything hurts and everything is beautiful. I can’t wait to see where this goes.

[amukmuk]

I'm caught up now! More favorites:

Day 16 Birth: precious. so precious. I love them all your honor. And that poem. It says everything and still there is so much they leave unsaid. Just quintessential Thranto.

Day 21 Family: RUDE! Gorgeously well written but just so uncalled for. I'm crying.

Day 22 Something Old, Something New: holy hell that is the loveliest thing I've read in a long time

I have also decided that you are a master at writing Thrawn's tactical and observational skills. It's subtle enough to work for his character but just obvious enough that the reader can catch it too without needing it all spelled out and tied up with a bow later. Thrawn can be a little Sherlock Holmes-y with the stuff he notices, but you don't have to pause at the end and explain how it's all "elementary," which is good because Eli is sharp enough to be only a tiny bit behind Thrawn most of the time and a big long explanation for us readers would feel out of place. I don't know if that makes a lot of sense but my point is that you're amazing!

And now I'm off to work again because there's no rest for the wicked but it'll be a short day so I can read the new chapter of One Day when I get back later and I'm so excited for that :)

AHHHH you have no idea how emotional your kind words have made me T___T

Birth was actually the first piece I wrote for Thrantovember! I just really loved everyone coming together for their favorite wild space bean :3

LOL okay, so I laid down for bed at like 11 pm on a work night and just as I was about to fall asleep the idea for Family hit me and I wrote it in like 20 minutes on my phone and went back and edited out all my horrible typos and sleep-induced incoherence lolol

My favorite thing to do when I'm stuck on a piece is to just go back into canon and weave that theme into canon events... which is why my Thalias/Samakro fic is still just a plot bunny in my brain bc I wanna tie as much of it as I can into canon and I'm only half way through Chaos Rising (blame the loml he has the second book and is taking his sweet time listening to it)

Okay, I'm literally sobbing over how you think I'm good at writing Thrawn. His sense of logic is what I always spend the most time on when writing bc one) his character is super hard to pin down and two) I really don't want to make his deductions seem too sherlock holmes-y as you say. So I'm sooo glad he comes off as believable because let me tell you *puts hands on hips and exhales* I spend so much time writing him lololol

You have NO IDEA how excited I am to keep working on One Day. I think it's gonna be 15 chapters in total and I'm so hyped!!!

[neo-shitty]

toffee!

ah yeah i suppose ur right. yeah i think quarentine has had that sort of effect on a lot of people :( sorry to hear abt ur strict parents, hopefully ur friend will be able to come back soon. small outings (even with family) are still good tho, make sure ur taking care of urself toff.

youre totally right! ah yes thats good advice (/gen) ill try and use that when im in a slump ty. any music suggestions?

lol sames. even some of the stuff abt seungmin, innie etc is a little uncomfortable, like theyre grown ass men for sure, but at the same time, theyre still young, still just over being a teenager in the grand scheme of things. (on that note, i do struggle with worrying that im infantalising them, obviously theyre adults but at the same time, theyre still young. i do treat all fictional characters as my children, but i guess its different when its real people. idk. what do you think?) yeah some stans rlly need to take a chill pill, some are rlly walking the wire between 'ah theyre attractive/that look rlly suits them' and making fucking smut fics abt minors, like... they do not see a problem with that?? yeah tbh i feel like unless theyre 18 they shouldnt be put into the spotlight, weve seen what it does to peoples mental health, but modern day kpop industry is a lot like old hollywood with a lot of popular child actors -_- hopefully the big companies will learn but i agree, its unlikely

suuuuure toff haha. ill go searching for them, but idk if ill be able to find the fluff needle in the angst haystack (jkjk) yeah, fair i groan and complain but you do write angst etc rlly well, so if its what ur comfortable with, then pls continue, it is one of your strong suits, well as you write fluff aside

ah okay good! ill continue to send you essays then

THE ALBUM YES. so ive been looking forward to it for literally months, this is actually my first skz album release as a stay (since the last on was 9 months ago) i was sitting there hitting refresh on my spotify the second 6pm kst came around. (speaking of which, how did you do the release? i couldnt decide whether to watch or listen first but i ended up on listening cos there would be more material) okay: so cheese was super cool, very skz ya know? tho i almost wish theyd made domino the title track, tho obv it was a more experimental track and would have been a bit controversial (much like whistle for bp) i looooved domino and thunderous was absolutely impeccable. all the songs were amazing but standouts were- secrets, secrets which lowkey made me tear up idk why, red lights which almost killed me (it did not have to go that hard, but it did) and OT8 WOLFGANG omgggg i wasnt sure if hyunjin was going to be included in it but i was hoping and, ya know people had said hed be in there, but the further i got in, the less i was sure and then BAM hyunjin started what had been jisung's part and i just sat there grinning for about 5 minutes. surfin was absolutely adorable and gone away almost made me cry AGAIN. star lost was so touching, almost a nod to hyunjins little star? silent cry was relatable beyond anything. SSICK was funny? for some reason I was laughing while it was playing, idk the combination of added cheering and minhos aggressiveness and the totall seriousness they sung it. but i rlly enjoyed it. sorry i love you showcased their vocals like nothing else. the view is THE BOP of 2021, absolutely going to be stuck in my head for the next decade, that hook is genius. what did you think?

also did you watch their grow up performance? with all the stays and ALL THE TEARS? ;n; i feel like this is the end of an era of skz and tbh im kinda happy but also sad. super excited for their promotions but super bummed they wont get to tour. ah well

<3 w.a. 🐺

answer under the cut bc i gave an equally long answer to this already long ask HAJSH

oh yeah, abt quarantine having an effect. my friend and i talked about this earlier actually. i didn't realize the world was moving so fast until the pandemic happened. being in quarantine gave me time to think and i got to know myself more. it's just the sole good thing i got out of the isolation lmao. and abt my strict parents, ironically i got to go out today so i got to hang out with a few of my bestfriends. i had fun but my legs are a bit sore from walking. but they're a different set of friends. i'll get to hang out with the others when my getaway driver comes home in december.

hmm music recommendations for writing? depends on the plot you're writing. care to share what story you're working on and i'll try to rake my brain for a song that might match the vibe. i listen to classical / lo-fi if i don't have song inspo for a fic because lyrics sometimes distract me.

i don't think that's infantilizing tho. for me, it has something to do with my environment and the way i was raised. maybe it's the same the other way around? like this certain age (for the ones above 18 but below 20) is thirst-able for them. idk really. it's just not for me ?n? what i do NOT condone is writing smut for minors??? like get checked : D // i agree with everything with the idols being 18+ before they debut simply because it's for the best for their well-being like. how can young idols decide that this shit is the thing they want to do for life? or at least until their contracts last. idk :// it's unfortunate that it's unlikely to happen.

WELL. i have a list so you won't have to go search for them! in class (minho), in the rain (seungmin), gladius maximus (chan) and you've read five star already. and i just realized that most, if not all, of my upcoming fics are fluffs and i'm fond of all of them :D i used to focus a lot on angst because fluff disgusted the living shit out of me. i think things changed when i wrote champagne problems and hurt myself so bad i wanted to drop angst entirely. i didn't, of course, but i allowed myself to be self-indulgent now.

for the release of the album, i was on twt and watched the vid at 12 views (if i remember correctly, i watched back door at 14 so HASJH) i’m gonna talk by track so it wont be too confusing? bc i wrote this in paragraph format and it just ???? beware im very picky with tracks even if they’re my ults. so no offense if we have opposing opinions and i’m not fond of reading lyrics so these are all music wise.

cheese - oh god i hated cheese at first listen but it grew on me easily. i was singing the yeahyeahyeahyeah bit all day today :D

thunderous - i cant say that it’s my favorite title track. it felt really dry sometimes, both mv and music wise. but at the same time, it’s not that bad. the choreography carried the song tho o.O it’s so fucking cool. but like go live, another track has my heart and it’s

domino - AND YES I AGREE THAT THEY SHOULDVE MADE DOMINO TITLE TRACK UGHHHHH WHAT A WASTED FUCKING OPPORTUNITY. WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS HOW FOND I AM OF THIS SONG. it stands close to the level i love easy.

ssick - was a skip on first listen too because i found the chorus underwhelming but it grew on me? not that much but i can bear listening to it.

the view - it’s something the gen public like, hence its something i dislike. im not fond of songs that are structured like this? it’s not a bad song, just not the type of song i like. but i agree that the hook is very not catchy but it would get stuck in ur head.

sorry, i love you - it’s not as sad as i expected but i actually like it??? i can’t wait to write a fic out of it (1) HAJSHAJ it’s like a 3/5 for me. it’s angsty but chill?

silent cry - i’m pissed at this song bc it hits but sometimes it doesn’t?@?#!? but it’s starting to grow on me but definitely not my fave track.

secret secret - glad i found a secret secret enthusiast because my irls thought it was a skip?$?#@$? it gives me ikon vibes and i’m a huge fan of ikon’s discog so this was a win for me T_T +

STAR LOST - gives me bigbang song vibes and now im very sad :(( in case u didnt know, i’m a hUGE yg fan and 2ne1/bigbang introduced me to kpop so when i heard this track that gave me yg feels i just <3___<3 and it’s one of my favorite tracks anw moving on,

red lights - I WANT TO SKIP THE FIRST TEN SECONDS OF RED LIGHTS EVERY TIME IT PLAYS LIKE IT MAKES ME FEEL AWKWARD KDSJFSK but fine. i’m adding this to props and mayhem’s playlist LMAO it’s more aggressive than sexc tho. more enemies to lovers o. O

surfin’ - this coming right after red lights just wasn’t the best decision arrangement wise because how did we go from ooh sexc to aigh pARTAY. felix saying sheesh T___T it’s such a fun song i want to go to the beach ;n; do you like beaches?

gone away - i have yet to read the lyrics because i’m using this as inspo for a jeongin fic jskjash it’s not the type of ballad i like but it’s so fucking sad to listen to :’ ) the pitch change caught me off guard? still does. it’ll grow on me prolly.

wolfgang - I YELLED WHEN I HEARD HYUNJIN IN WOLFGANG. i didn’t like this song until recently. it gives me the confidence boost i need to pick myself off self-esteem crashes.

and no i haven't watched that performance and i prolly wont because i’ll cry. i’m excited for the promotions too. do you think they’ll still have a repackage?? i cant fucking believe that i just finished waiting for 12am kst for skz teasers and now i have to look forward to 12am for nct 127??@?#? NOT A SINGLE DAY OF REST FOR THIS STAYZEN

Chapter 16 going up in a few mins. There are about 2 chapters left and it’ll be done. Thank you for reading!

Anonymous said to enaasteria: August 29th 2017, 12:22:00 am · a month ago I just finished reading all available 16 chapter of Apartment and wow- I cried several times. This is probably one of the best fanfictions I've ever come across on this sight, and I'm very thankful that you've decided to share. Ahri's development as a person has been mind blowing, and I'm looking forward to seeing how Sehun grows as well. Are you planning on making this several more chapters?

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you like their character development and it’s something I truly love in stories. I love it when characters change and grow. It just makes them feel a bit more dimensional and real. About 2 more chaps after 16. It’ll end at 17 with an epilogue of sorts at 18.

Anonymous said to enaasteria: August 29th 2017, 12:23:00 am · a month ago ALSO Ahri finally choosing to give him another chance and deviating away from her parents? It was an absolute tear fest. Although did Sehun ever know that she was hospitalized because of her allergy?

I know right!!! Honestly, it’s one of my finer writing moments. I love little things that relate to each other hahaha. And yes---Soi prob told him or yelled at him is more like it.

Chicago Typewriter Review: The Hope of being with you guys Again Someday

Wow… I am left speechless… I just watched the last episode of Chicago Typewriter and I am left with such a warm feeling inside. I experienced so many emotions within those 50 minutes: sadness, anger, fear, happiness, and hope. This is an overall review of the series, since I haven’t reviewed each episode individually. 

The plot of this series was simply AMAZING and GENIUS. Personally, I love historical setting dramas, especially stories with historic significance…. and Chicago Typewriter combined both the modern and historical aspect beautifully with a touch of supernatural magic. The historical setting was placed during the 1930s when Korea was under Japanese rule… but what made this drama enticing were the elements of reincarnation and time-traveling by flashbacks. This drama did well to use both of these elements to highlight important events and progress the plot. Not only do we get the historic story of the main characters, but we also get to see the struggles of the main characters’ present lives and how their decisions/actions compared to their past selves. At first, I was worried about the drama because it started out quite slow in terms of character development and progression of the plot, as well as, the modern story was beginning to be overshadowed by the historic story. At one point, I became so heavily invested into the historic story that I almost didn’t care about their modern lives. On the other hand, wonderfully, they brought our attention back to the present by Se Ju’s exceptionally well-crafted character development and the teaming up of the main characters to write ‘Chicago Typewriter.’ Definitely, the strongest aspect of this drama was the plot/story-telling… I cannot emphasize how simply amazing the plot is. At first, we were made to think the moral of the story was for Se Ju to overcome his writing slump and ultimately finish writing ‘Chicago Typewriter’ with Yoo Jin Oh (Shin Yool); however, that was not the case. 

Let’s take a step back and understand why this drama is called, “Chicago Typewriter.” Literally, one can interpret the title to symbolize the typewriter itself and the submachine gun… but in a deeper context… I believe the title represents the dreams and the promise between Se Ju (Hwi Young), Yoo Jin Oh (Shin Yool), and Seol (Soo Hyun) and this can be described by Hwi Young’s letter he gave to Shin Yool in episode 16. Physically, the typewriter is an empty object with no significant meaning. We learn that the typewriter was bought by Shin Yool as a gift to Hwi Young… and later this typewriter became the source of the resistance fighters’ communication. Soo Hyun also compared the submachine gun and the typewriter to each other. She quoted that the pen is mightier than the sword… thus explaining how significant the written word (communication) is the most essential aspect to obtain independence for their country, other than killing/violence. However, notice how important both the presence of the typewriter and the submachine gun were throughout the drama. Especially how the Chicago Typewriter gun was used by both Hwi Young and Soo Hyun in the last two episodes… In the end, Hwi Young sent his prized possession, the typewriter, to Shin Yool and replaced it with the gun - thus symbolizing how he was putting down his pen and accepted his death. As for Soo Hyun, she used the Chicago Typewriter gun to kill the Japanese officials because that is the only thing she can do for her country… she made a statement by taking revenge through extermination. 

Now in the present, Se Ju was in a slump because his writing “caused” his stalker to kill himself and, thus, him losing confidence in his skills. However, the return of the typewriter not only brought him to meet Seol and Jin Oh, but he was also able to regain his confidence in his writing through trust and friendship. Combined with all the experience the typewriter has gone through, one could say that the typewriter symbolizes time and fate… by bringing the main characters together and tying up the loose end of their story. However, the greatest impact for me was how Shin Yool sealed himself in the typewriter so that he could keep his promise to Hwi Young. After he finished writing the story… his existence was basically over. But, what touched me the most was that Se Ju wrote a new story… the story of their present day lives… so that Shin Yool could seal himself in that story to be reborn one day. Truly, this drama showed how powerful the written word and communication is in our daily lives… and that it can both kill and save. This lesson was not only seen through the main characters’ struggles, but also by Tae Min who struggled to take responsibility for his actions, their mother who held a grudge against Se Ju, their father who failed to protect both of his sons, and Seol’s mother who abandoned her daughter because she couldn’t face her past actions. 

The plot and the lessons weren’t the only amazing aspects of this drama. The character development was also well done… especially Se Ju. Personally, I think there was a lot of focus on Se Ju, that many of the other characters didn’t receive the same spot-light. Se Ju changed from a cold, haughty, and lonely person to loving, forgiving, and understanding. He changed his outlook on life to appreciating it and valuing friendship, love, and faith. But, I also think that Se Ju was always that person to begin with… however, he just locked his true self away due to his troubled childhood and the betrayal of his family. I must also say that Hwi Young was an amazing character who exemplified what it meant to be a true leader… cunning, brave, strong, and steel-hearted when it came to making clear-cut decisions. I loved how very different Hwi Young and Shin Yool were… and how one could distinguish between the two’s leadership. Hands down, Yoo Ah In stole the show with his masterful acting as Se Ju/Hwi Young (who didn’t cry when Shin Yool was reading Hwi Young’s letter? I freakin balled like a baby cause it was the most heart-felt letter I’ve ever read along with Shin Yool’s crying, Hwi Young’s narration, and the music in the background T___T). 

Hey Shin Yool, are you alive? Are you reading this letter now? I was cleaning up before leaving for Manchuria and decided to send my three most precious things to you to keep for me. By chance, do you remember the ay we first saw this typewriter? Actually, I didn’t mean it when I said my pen was plenty at that time. I was bluffing. After receiving that gift of the typewriter from you, I was so happy. I’ve received so much from you, so much so that I can’t repay you in this lifetime. Now at the point of that I might not see you alive again and I am sorry because these are the only tings I can give you. And on top of that, I can’t even give it to you for free. I need to attach a favor. Will you be able to handle it? Can you? I’m hoping you will finish my novel for me. With this typewriter you gifted to me. Please write our story in my place now. The story of us living on this land at that time. How we lived diligently in the dark reality. How we hurt fiercely and hoped in desperation. How we found happiness within the danger. How we loved and fought with all our might. As for the pocket watch, I am giving it to you for wishing you to cherish Soo Hyeon every minute and every second. So that Soo Hyeon will never be alone again, you stay by her side. And lastly, Yool… just how much I trusted you and loved our friendship, I regret that I didn’t tell you in person. So let’s make sure we meet again alive. No, let’s meet again even in our death. 

If a god asks me if I was happy in this life, I’ll answer. I was happy because I met you guys. If a god tells me, “Good job living a hard life.” “You lived it well.” And pat my shoulder, then I’ll ask for a favor. If I am to born again, I’ll ask to be with you guys again. 

Jeon Seol’s (and Soo Hyun) character was very lovable and I loved how she remained true to herself in both the present and past lives, but I also loved how she showed times of weakness to indicate that, despite her amazing skills in various fields, she is human. Im Soo Jung did a great job to capture Seol’s liveliness and her strong determination. I really loved that Soo Hyun finished the job of exterminating the traitors (especially Heo Young Min), as well as, it was truly admirable when she killed Shin Yool… but it also showed that she had no purpose to continue on living because she was exhausted and lost everyone she loved… in the end despite killing all the traitors with her gun, she ended up losing herself in the process. Overall, the acting done in this drama was absolutely great! You could feel each characters’ thoughts, emotions, and understand their reasoning for their actions/decisions. You could feel their fears and how each character was on the edge of their sanity… just barely trying to survive. You honestly couldn’t really hate a single character, even if they betrayed their comrades (except for Heo Young Min… that bastard had to die). As for Shin Yool, I loved him so much! Poor sunshine loved Soo Hyun so much that he ended up betraying Hwi Young… but he couldn’t handle the guilt and didn’t stay with Soo Hyun in the end because of his friendship. I really loved his character… you can see how he slowly opened his heart to Se Ju and Seol… the actor, Go Kyung Pyo, did an amazing job to showcase such an emotional character. That was the biggest difference between Shin Yool and Hwi Young… Shin Yool just couldn’t contain his emotions and let his feelings get the best of him — which was why his bluff as being the leader didn’t trick Heo Young Min. 

I also have to admit that, despite the romantic touch in the drama, the romance wasn’t really the focus of the series. Se Ju and Seol’s romance was very sweet and I enjoyed every moment they had together, however, the most touching aspect of the relationships in this drama wasn’t the romance… but the aspect of trust. Seol’s character, along with Yoo Jin Oh, brought trust back into Se Ju’s life. At first, we thought that Seol was Se Ju’s muse… but the most surprising muse in Se Ju’s life was Yoo Jin Oh because he was the one who brought the two together in the first place. We were made to believe that Seol was Se Ju’s muse to regain his trust in his writing ability, but actually it was both Seol and Jin Oh who helped him. And the best scene to show how Se Ju’s writing evolved from writing for others to writing for himself, was when he told Ji Seok that he wanted to write ‘Chicago Typewriter’ his way and not how the fans want it. At this point, Se Ju had already defeated his slump. Friendship and trust were the most important elements in this drama and it can be seen by 1) how Hwi Young and Shin Wool both loved Soo Hyun but didn’t force her to choose someone, 2) Shin Wool kept his promise of letting her go because of his promise, 3) Shin Wool didn’t get together with Soo Hyun in the end, despite Hwi Young asking him to take care of her, because he felt guilty for Hwi Young’s death, and 4) both Hwi Young and Soo Hyun had already forgiven Shin Wool. Especially, the last scene truly symbolized how strong the bonds of friendship can be with both Se Ju and Seol wishing for Shin Wool’s rebirth… and later on we see that Shin Wool was finally able to reunite with Hwi Young and Soo Hyun. Most importantly, the ending showed how the past was finally put to rest with meeting the present (notice how Hwi Young said, “Done.” when he finished typing his story… I think this symbolizes that the story of ‘Chicago Typewriter’ was finally over)… with how the typewriter, the gold watch, the story ‘Chicago Typewriter,’ and the picture were shot together in the last scene. 

This drama may not be perfect and sometimes you may feel that the drama is slow, but please give it a try (especially if you’re interested in this era). Honestly, this drama deserves way more recognition and it saddens me that it didn’t receive higher ratings… this drama did well to showcase some of the real struggles during the 1930s, as well as, the struggles that writers face. The storyline, the characters, the music, the cinematography/visuals, and the supernatural touch all makes this drama very unique and intriguing to watch. Remember when I said how I felt a warm feeling inside after watching this drama? The reason being is because each character had a closure but the ending wasn’t absolute. Se Ju’s career is back on track and he is happy with his writing. Seol is finally with the man she loves, while also providing him strength and support. Shin Wool finally reunited with his old friends and, as well as, he can look to the future to meet with them in a liberated Korea (indicated by how his image became visible in the picture). The story of the Independence fighters that the typewriter brought to the main characters may have ended with episode 16, but a new story also began… and I believe that is the moral of the story. With every closed book, comes a new chapter to be written of an entirely new book because even after when we think it is the end… the written words and hopes of those before continue to live on through you and others. The story of “Chicago Typewriter” continues through us, the viewers. Just as Korea’s liberation did not end with the death of their comrades, but lived on through the hopes they wrote to the future generation. 

If you’re looking for a drama that combines elements of romance, friendship, and the suspense of real-life struggles, then this drama is perfect... as you will truly witness the growth of each of the characters as they unravel their past lives and make amends to long-kept promises/dreams. Regardless, you’ll definitely be in for a roller-coaster ride of feels T____T

I low-key wish we could have seen Shin Yool/Yoo Jin Oh being reborn and reuniting with Se Ju and Seol in the future…. 

Plot/Story: 10/10

Cinematography: 8.5/10

Music: 7.5/10 (maybe just a little more variety would have been nice, but the music is definitely catchy and pleasing to listen to)

Dumb Fanfic Writer Reads Salty Comments

Hey guys, if you didn’t know, I’m a huge fan of the horrific YouTube series Filthy Frank, which I’ve only become really interested in over the past few months. One of the funniest series he does is “Loser Reads Hater Comments” which is pretty self-explanatory through the title itself. Whereas my last post about Pride was pretty composed, this time the filter is coming COMPLETELY off, so if you’re not a fan of me cussing and basically being a huge dick to the people who deserve it, then I’d just skip this post. Everyone else, jump down past the “read below” line

Alright motherfuckers, let’s get this shit-show on the road! We’ll start off with the main account, AO3, which is where I got a lot of the heat from in the first weekend of chapter 1 going up, but let’s take a look at the constructive criticism that the opposition felt the need to leave for me (and if you want to read the full comments section for yourself, here you go):

(You’re most-likely going to have to right-click the images and open them in another tab to be able to read them, since I’m putting this under the “read more” line. Sorry. :( ) 

First of all, don’t you love these types?  Hurrrr, the media is corrupt, man, they’re all trying to brainwash us with their poisonous broadcasts, I’m not gonna let them make me one of their SHEEPLE, illuminati confirmed!!1! Second of all, HOLY CRAP, you DIDN’T vote for Trump, and you’re STILL disagreeing with me!? Oh my god guys, we have such an open-minded individual, someone give this special snowflake a medal, STAT! Buddy, nobody gives a shit that you didn’t vote for Trump. Your voting choice doesn’t take away the butthurt that you’re projecting because I’m saying something you don’t like. I mean, I’m just speculating here, I could easily be wrong about this, but I’m gonna wager a guess through your comments that you didn’t vote for Hillary either, so that leaves you in three possible groups: 1) You didn’t vote at all, which means you don’t give a shit about your country, and you’re just as much to blame for every shitty decision Trump makes because you didn’t even TRY to stop it.  2) You were one of the 10,000 idiots who voted for Harambe, a dead gorilla. Not just a gorilla, an animal, who isn’t allowed to be president anyway, but a DEAD animal who isn’t allowed to be president. So there’s a strong possibility that you were one of the thousands of college students who were just barely old enough to vote, and were chuckling the entire time you waited in the voting line mumbling “lol memes xD” while avoiding eye contact with anyone more attractive than you (which is probably most people).  3) You voted for that libertarian guy who I can’t even remember- Johnson, something or other? I forget what his deal was, but he was basically an idiot. My brain probably did me a favor by purging him from my memory. 

Alright, let’s move on

Well guys, I don’t know how to fight this one; nobody in the history of the world has ever made a parody of a real person for satire and to entertain the people who don’t like that person. There’s no such thing as SNL or any other late night talk show who does this regularly for entertainment purposes.  I’m basically public enemy number 1 at this point, I’m shocked the FBI hasn’t knocked on my door because I made a caricature of Trump. But even if they do, I’m not going quietly. I’ve got a Walking Dead dart-shotgun that’s fully loaded and ready to pop some sticky darts onto people’s foreheads. #FUCK GUN CONTROL Seriously though, you want to cry about leftists burning buildings down because of political bullshit? Do you? Do you also want to cry about white sports fans who burn down cars and start riots when their team loses (or hell, even if they win)? You know who doesn’t cry about that? Fox News. Yeah, they just show a thirty second blip of it on TV and chalk it up to “some fans getting a little out of control” God forbid any of those fans have dark skin, otherwise they might get shot just for screaming too loud. 

what’s next?

WHEW LAD Okay, telling me that I need to adopt a “don’t ask don’t tell policy” about politics in MY writings, seriously? What country are you from, Korea? One of those countries where you’re required to suck your political leader’s dick every day or you get thrown in jail or worse, killed? Buddy, I said right in the first chapter there was gonna be political bias in this story; I didn’t say I was a political scientist and that I was writing this as a thesis for how our government needs to restructure itself (at this point, I think dismantling it completely might be better off; a Mad Max style anarchy or Walking Dead wasteland looks like an okay alternative right now), I wrote this story for entertainment purposes. Telling me this story is shit because the politics aren’t 100% accurate is the same kind of cringe that tumblr exhibited when they got mad at Zootopia because the staff designed Judy’s nose incorrectly, BIG FUCKING DEAL.  Oh, and the kicker, saying I created “a major divide in the audience” and warning me when “all hell breaks loose”.  Oh my god guys, I’m so scared! I think some terrorist organizations are gonna come after me because I wrote a fanfic that expressed my ideals! Shit! I better seclude myself in the Right-Wing protection room, I hope I have enough canned ravioli and lotion to survive their furious rage! D: 

Ooh, ouch, that cuts deep yo! What an educated response, just rubbing my face in it, oh god, how will I recover!?? Alright, well if you click on this guy’s name, you can see that he doesn’t have any stories on his account. If you google search his name though, you’ll find two things of interest that stand out: -He’s a League of Legends player (and it lists his stats there, but I don’t play this game; is he good? Is he trash? Someone who plays this game tell me, because I don’t give a shit enough to look it up). -He has an account on fanfiction.net which has ONE story, the Zootopian Empire. I’m not gonna waste my brain cells on reading any of the story, but just from the description, I’m gonna assume this guy has such a hard on for League that his manchild brain decided it’d be a good idea to write a Zootopia fanfic that basically has the characters from the movie stand in for the characters of the game. Is that what this is, Valhalla? You trying to be a writer by combining your favorite videogame with your favorite movie? Oh yeah, those always go over REAL well. “Oh my fucking god guys, I fucking love League, and I fucking love Zootopia! I’m gonna write a fanfic that combines both of them and I’ll just explode with popularity, because the idea is so good that IT SELLS ITSELF, I AM A FUCKING GENIUS!!” 

Alright that’s all for AO3′s side, let’s take a look at what angry manchildren on fanfiction.net had to say: 

Totally didn’t write a foreword in my first chapter warning people “this story contains political bias, don’t read it that bothers you”, nope, not at all.  Seriously, how do people like you get through life? Do you read a sign that says “water contains sharks, do not swim”, then jump right in and get mad when you see sharks coming after you? You’re obviously (barely) smart enough to read, so do you just willfully ignore warnings for the sole purpose of being an ass? Great use of your time there, I’m glad this small act of yours gave you the confidence you needed to keep going through life. :)

Sir, you seem to be coughing a whole lot. Are you okay? Maybe if you didn’t spend so much time with your head up your own ass, you wouldn’t be choking on your own shit; just a thought.  Anyway, yeah, you reading stories from National Enquirer about Hillary SUBTLE COUGH AND PRETENDING TO CHOKE WHILE I CORRECT MYSELF LAWL MALLORY and her secret emails doesn’t really convince me or anyone else with an above average IQ. I do find it funny however that people like you will take any mention of questionable emails from ANY source as unarguable truth, but when allegations of Trump THROAT CLEAR SHAKE OF HEAD HOLDING UP HANDS ROFL TRUNK HA HA being guilty of sexually assaulting women, you start saying “Hurrrrr, where’s your prooooof, where’s your sources, huuuuuuuuh!?”.  Ah, hypocrisy; smells of that ripe acrid smell of bullshit. Gotta love it. 

Now this... this one brought a tear to my eye. I mean, I know there’s war going on in the East, starving children in third-world countries and nations who have gone entirely bankrupt, but this... this is the most tragic thing I have ever heard.  A person living in a well-off global super power country has to... they have to... see and hear things that they don’t like! On TV! On the radio! On newspapers! And they can’t do anything about it! They can’t change the channel, or look up something on youtube or play a videogame to give themselves some entertainment to distract themselves from this minor inconvenience; NO. They have to sit there helpless and the thing they’re subjected to makes them slightly uncomfortable.  Guys... I’m sorry, I’m just so emotional right now, I need to go listen to Arms of the Angel and grieve for this poor soul living in a constant state of minor inconvenience. T___T

Fun fact: the part about the transgender thing is 100% wrong you dub fucking idiot, and unlike you, I have a source backing it.  According to the same source, apparently he doesn’t want them in the military either, so thanks for proving how stupid you are, bye bye. 

Oh hey guys, look, it’s Mr. “I’m gonna write a Zootopia fanfic that’s basically League of Legends with Zootopia characters.” AGAIN I don’t really have much to say about this, I just think it’s funny that the same guy had to show how NOT UPSET he is by commenting on the first chapter ON TWO DIFFERENT WEBSITES.  Good job sir, you sure are showing me the what-for’s and the business and stuff, I just can’t survive under your onslaught. 

So that’s all for the public comments on both websites, which means this little segment of mine SHOULD be over; but wait, there’s more! This one came really as a surprise to me, because I got it through a PM on FurAffinity, which I haven’t even published the story on (I kept meaning to, but, eh, lazy).  I’m not going to ask you to read this whole thing-- I seriously don’t want you guys to waste your precious brain cells on something like this, but I still felt like I at least had to show you a visual of it, just so you know that human beings like this are indeed real.  Without further ado, I present to you, the MacDaddy of butthurt manchild in its purest form:

I know that’s probably too small of font for most of you to read- like I said, don’t bother reading the whole thing, your IQ will probably drop by seven points- but that is a whopping twelve paragraphs of “I don’t like what you said, it hurt my feelings and made me more upset than any rational human being should feel over something so inconsequential”.

I’ll admit, I didn’t read the whole thing either, but just for fun, let’s go ahead and skim it and highlight a few parts of it: “ To make matters even worse, instead of providing a reasonable political commentary and giving both sides their fair share of flaws, you go into full-on Hillary Clinton fangirl mode, portraying Muleford's side through rose-tinted glasses while making Trunk and his supporters look like total lunatics. Officer McHorn, for example, is ridiculed for bringing up the email scandal, which is actually a real issue that the FBI themselves have exposed multiple times. “ blah blah blah, here’s some stuff I read from my favorite Republican news source... “ What makes this even more glaring is how obviously out of character Judy and Nick are here. They both uncharacteristically identify themselves as "progressives" who "embrace diversity in each other's species", have uncontrolled emotional breakdowns over election turnouts, and even go as far as to ditch their jobs as impartial protectors of the law in order to carry protest signs around during an organized event they should be patrolling.” Yeah, because you know, you, a fan who has no involvement with the creation of the canon movie, never collaborated with the directors or the staff or anyone working for Disney, has all the business in the world telling me what is and isn’t “out of character��� for characters you didn’t create. Great logic there.  “ Speaking of which, what's up with all the blatant Donald Trump demonization? Yes, I get that you voted for Hillary Clinton, as you made that painfully obvious earlier, but that doesn't justify using Remus Trunk as an excuse to hate on Donald Trump. Whether you like it or not, he is our country's president, so the least you could do is be tasteful about it. There are better ways to go about tackling political issues than constantly calling a political caricature "bigoted"” Bro, how many people wouldn’t shut the fuck up about how much they hated Barack Obama when he was president? What if Hillary had won; would you take anyone seriously if they were telling you to show her some respect because she was the president, or would you be foaming at the mouth going “TRAITOR TRAITOR EMAILS PUT HER IN JAIL I AM UPSET AND INSECURE BLARRRRRGH!!!!”? Anyway, that’s all I care to read of that message, you get the idea-- people who either like Trump or like Hillary LESS than Trump all had to come pitch a fit and tell me how threatened they are that I expressed my opinion in a fucking fanfiction. Really great that these are the people who think the world is too PC and that everyone is too sensitive for their tastes, when they themselves get all butthurt when someone voices something that disagrees with them. 

So there you have it- my fanfiction pissed off a lot of idiots, and no shits were given. I just wanted to showcase this gallery because it was fun, and I hoped it was fun for some of you guys too. If you think this was petty and that I should have been the bigger man and just ignore them, you’re probably right, but I think being the bigger man is overrated. :) Petty for life! Whooo!

The Rogue One novel, schaloime and I: A Christmas cry fest

Sooo around Christmas I read the Rogue One novelization. And because I lost it at the first few pages already I decided that I couldn’t suffer through this perfection alone and started texting quotes and comments to @schaloime​ (mainly KRENNIC ALL THE WAY)... And, well. I don’t want to lose this list of hilarity and heartbreak, so I’m posting it now for everyone’s amusement. :D (Comments are of course translated from a wild English/German mix and a bit edited, but convey the fun we’ve had really well. X’D)

This book gets a very high recommendation from me, just saying before the cut! I love it to pieces, it even made my second trip to the cinema a lot better and gave me so much! 11/10 pathetic wine mom Orsons, would (and will) read again

(Come yell with me about it, please!)

He had killed a city. He could kill a world.

Boy, Krennic is such a pathetic squabbling schoolboy X'D lots of fun when he’s pleased about something he did well, like "I AM THE MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE fuck off Tarkin noooo" When they’re in the same room he’s always THIS CLOSE to stomping his foot, crossing his arms and whining                   

He felt like he finally deserved some attention from the emperor.

What is this book. Help.

[insert a lot of fangirling about the way the characters are written, how you’re in a different head with each part/chapter and how they all have clearly different ways of thinking and decision-making]

He’d settled himself in his seat with a glass of wine and a datapad by the time they’d left the docking bay.

Already the second scene in which Krennic lounges around and drinks wine. (This time the flight to Eadu, first time was after work on the Death Star. He also apparently likes to walk miles and miles through the construction and is quite pleased about having built all this and knowing every lil detail.)

Galen Erso, whom he’d given every chance. Galen Erso, whom he’d nearly died for once on that sad scrap of farmland. “I thought we were past this,” Krennic murmured to himself, with a bitter smile."

Just in - Krennic’s fuckin’ gay for Galen (as if we didn’t know that) and ALWAYS thinks about either him or Tarkin.

He’s really like HALF OF THE FANON!HUX headcanons I’ve encountered in fics. [slime and I began to flail helplessly because we can’t handle him. spoiler: we didn’t really stop screaming until the end.]

During the flight to Eadu, Krennic had stoked the fury in his heart. Fueled by outrage and humiliation, its fire burned bright enough to warm him in the chill that swept through the shuttle.

... Am I reading fanfic for real now or what.

Krennic smiled acidly and said the words he had selected with care aboard the shuttle:

Also just in: Krennic spent the trip to Eadu drinking wine and writing a speech. An epic speech:

“Gentlemen. One of you has betrayed the Empire. One of you conspired with a pilot to send messages to the Rebellion. I urge that traitor to step forward.”

Krennic. How often did you practice that in front of a mirror until you made sure you won’t forget a single word of it?

If by some miracle Cassian got off a second shot, he decided Krennic would make an excellent target. The Empire could only be improved by the loss of another high-ranking blowhard.

GOOD BOY. (Cassian’s thoughts are really interesting in general.)       

“Very well,” Krennic said. “I’ll consider it a group effort, then.” The words were cruel and sweet. Krennic felt no shame in deriving satisfaction from justice ruthlessly applied.

PLEASE. slime: gaaaaaaaaay

He looked down at himself and straightened his uniform with a tug. He noted black smudges from smoke and charred metal, a patch of red where someone—probably him—had bled. He wondered if he would have time to clean up before arriving. Or maybe Lord Vader would respect a man who’d seen combat.

Or: Krennic fainted right after entering the shuttle for departure from Eadu, got the order to go to Mustafar upon waking and dives headfirst into the REALLY IMPORTANT QUESTIONS. I wish I were kidding.                        

Was Vader mad? Was this his homeworld? Perhaps he wasn’t human beneath his armor; perhaps that forbidding black suit did more than replace lungs and limbs damaged in battle, and instead allowed a creature born in magma to survive the chill of space. Or maybe he lived on Mustafar because he enjoyed burning his victims alive.

... Krennic lands on Mustafar and has some thoughts about how Extra™ Vader is.

Vader had let him live. Vader had judged him too valuable to kill—and by extension, the Emperor recognized his value as well. Tarkin’s mutiny, his seizure of the Death Star, had been forestalled. And Krennic had yet to reveal Tarkin’s greatest error—how in destroying Jedha City, Tarkin had failed to blockade the moon, failed to ensure against survivors. For how else could the rebels have infiltrated Eadu? The traitorous pilot had come from Eadu and fled to Jedha; his message had escaped. Only Tarkin could be held responsible for that.

Oh BOY. Hubris much? slime: “ "Look at me, Look at me!" me: Everyone else in this book has thoughts that are more than that pathetic blubbering. Even JYN, who’s at war with her hatred for everyone who’s ever left her, EVEN HER WHO HAS BEEN A REAL EGOIST UP UNTIL NOW. But nooooo, Krennic is the only Special Snowflake™ in the universe. At least in his own head.

He was ready to leave the madhouse that was Mustafar, but he was suddenly uncertain he could ever escape Vader’s shadow.

How about you don't even try.

She held back a laugh and looked to Cassian. The man who’d betrayed her. The man who’d admitted his guilt and decided to fight for her. He saw her staring and looked back at her quizzically. It wasn’t how betrayals were supposed to go.

U don't say.

It was a bad plan. It had all been a bad plan, of course, starting with Galen’s message and ending with this unauthorized raid on Scarif. Now he was, what—defecting from his defection? If he survived, he’d be an Imperial traitor and a rebel mutineer. He’d be lucky to see the inside of a Yavin prison cell.

Bodhi, talking a mile a minute even in his thoughts. But he’s happy that there are most likely no mind-reading tentactle monsters on Yavin... At least something.

She almost winced when she looked at Cassian, wearing an officer’s suit and cap like they were perfectly tailored. Even the code cylinder in his pocket was at a regulation angle.

Jyn has her priorities straight. Always get a look while you can.

He stood at a metaphorical cliff’s edge, stamping his foot in an effort to cause an avalanche. With Galen Erso’s treachery undone, he would gain the allegiance of Vader. With Vader’s backing, he would expose the incompetence of Tarkin—the revelation of rebel survivors from Jedha. With Tarkin humiliated, Krennic’s command of the Death Star would be uncontested, and he would confer with the Emperor himself as to how it might best be used. Krennic would be, in every way that mattered, the most powerful and decorated man in the Empire.

I... Wait, what. Krennic, daydreaming.

Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin made it a point not to dwell on the flamboyant ambitions of Orson Krennic. Over the course of more than a decade, the director had gone from a nuisance to a genuine threat and back again, all the while demanding far more attention than Tarkin was prepared to grant him.

Thoughts from Tarkin! As if Krennic was a lousy annoying little fly.

Cassian had denied him that exquisite sense of purpose and replaced it with individuality. With individuality came doubt and cynicism: an awareness not only of the odds of success or failure but of those outcomes’ repercussions.

Individuality creates cynism. Now I have feels for a droid, thx Kaytoo.

With one second left until total shutdown, K-2SO chose to mentally simulate an impossible scenario in which Cassian Andor escaped alive. The simulation pleased him.

KAY. T___T

[everyone’s last sentence in their last part is amazing tbh]

As he emerged from the command center, two death troopers fell into step behind him and he thought of another day long before: another planetfall; another squad of troopers; and another danger to his life spawned by Galen. That day on Lah’mu had ended in victory, too. Orson Krennic was going to war.

Drama much! Firm belief now: He has that cape only to imagine himself in such a moment, with that last sentence as caption, for the epic picture he strikes in his own imagination...

But before Baze could fire, Chirrut rose from the bunker and stepped into sunlight.

First thought: oooh why do scenes with those two always feature such impressive pictures in my head Second thought, because the part was over and another person took over: FUCK YOU ALEXANDER FREED FUCK YOU SIDEWAYS I waited the WHOLE DAMN BOOK for a scene from Chirrut’s POV and just accepted that I won’t get one AND YOU DROP THE PART AT THE MAIN SWITCH ON ME FUCK YOU FUCK YOU HARD

[This was also when I started crying. I cried during three books my whole life (I cry frequently at movies, and I read a lot, so it takes a special something for that to happen). Be proud of yourself, Alexander Freed. You wrote *bawled her eyes out*-book #4.)

(...) without the temple he could not truly be a Guardian of the Whills; without joy and frivolity he could not be a clown and jokester among sober peers; without the Holy City he could not be a protector of his beloved world (...)

Fuuuuuck youuuuuu. T____T

He was dying, of course. He felt Baze’s heavy, familiar tread pound the ground, smelled his brother’s sweat as he leaned close. He wanted to say, Baze! My eyes—I can’t see! but Baze Malbus had always needed comfort more than humor.

THIS GUY I S2G.

But of course the Force had reunited them before the end.

Alright, I died, see you on the other side.

At last report, the data vault itself had been breached. It was a show of incompetence so great that Tarkin was almost curious to know how Krennic might explain it away.

Tarkin is a lil bitch sometimes. It’s great.

He was not the Empire—not every moment of oppression and indignity and torment she had ever suffered. He was an Imperial, a petty, spiteful, scared little man who’d forgotten his own atrocities. And he didn’t know her at all. She decided to make him remember.

Jyn can’t read a lot of people, but it seems to be easy for her with Krennic. X’D He only ever was “the man in white from her nightmares” until they finally meet. And up until his death she does know who he is and what role he had in her life - but never his name. Well, Orson. Sucks to be you. No immortal name.

He could follow Galen Erso’s thread through his life. He could see the full extent of the tragedy, the waste of effort on a wasted man. But what about before? He sought refuge in his childhood, tried to recall an Orson whose hopes had not yet been cast in shadow…

KRENNIC. Can’t you even in your LAST SECONDS stop thinking about how deeply ingrained Galen was into your life and how pathetic you were??? THIS GUY.                

Orson Krennic, advanced weapons research director and father of the Death Star, died alone on Scarif, screaming in fury at Galen Erso, at Jyn Erso, at Wilhuff Tarkin, and at all the galaxy.

... In his very last moments he imagined himself in full glory on the Death Star, his triumph, and in the middle of those cozy thoughts about his creation, the one thing he knows in and out, he finally noticed what Galen sabotaged. Ooops. Sucks, right?

I cried a lot. Slime cried a lot. And I’ll end this with the one sentence that really stuck with me and won’t leave my head for a long time...

Like a pilot should, he died with his ship.

Goodbye, Bodhi. Not all alone after all.

When you get this, it would be cool to post 10 facts about yourself and then pass it along to 10 followers

WHOO-HOO MY FIRST ASK ON THIS TUMBLR! :D

Ahem, anyway….so…uh…10 facts about me?! Oooh boy! This is going to be a wordy, long one but here goes! xD

1. I’m a one time voice actor but nobody believes me and maybe that’s a really good thing but at the same time, it’s true! I did voice acting when I was around 8 or 9 years old for an unsold Christmas cartoon movie! I even had a singing role! It was great! It just never got sold and my dreams of being a voice actor back then never truly got fullfilled and it was slightly hard for me and while I didn’t cry, I kind of wished it succeed but ah well,  hope to do so again because voice acting was challenging but also tons of fun! 2. I used to take some Gymnastics and Taekwondo! My biggest regret is not ever sticking around to learn more and becoming a chicken and quitting because of my social anxiety. If I braved it, I’d probably know some skills and can talk about them for my writing in my books! T___T

3. My birthday is on January 3 which means I share the same birthday as Thomas Bangalter from Daft Punk, J.R.R Tolkein, and also Danica McKeller, Lucretia Mott (whom I studied about in a US. History class in fifth grade), Mel Gibson and apparently I’m the exact same age as this Japanese Soccer player named Yoichiro Kakitani. Interesting. 

4. I love seafood, sweets, boiled eggs, and noodles (almost of every variety).

5.  My least favorite genre of music are rap, country, and heavymetal. I’m okay with listening to most music, however, but in terms of personal taste, I’m not a fan of those genres. 

6. My dad, my aunt, and my cousins were the ones who helped me get into Star Wars by letting me go with them to see the fourth (and my first ever) Star Wars movie, A New Hope. I was seven during that time and I didn’t have an understanding of history and time but I knew that I crushed on Luke Skywalker then! Ehehe…I don’t really…but yeah, he was really cute to me back then!

7.  I’m ambidextrous and I write mainly with my left hand. I do, however, sometimes use my right. 

8. I like some kpop and listen to it alot including music from groups like  BTS, Monsta X, NCT 127/NCT U/NCT, Astro, EXO (but not a huge fan of theirs), and really need to get back into a group I loved called Seventeen again. I also like WJSN/Cosmic Girls, Crayon Pop, and this newer group called Weki Meki that one of my close friends introduced me to. 

9. Despite my chattery side online, people have a tendency to think that I’m very talkative in real life and I’m only so around people I’m close and or good friends in real life, trust, and or my family members. If I don’t know you and am very uncomfortable, I am very shy and reserved but more so latter.

10. My favorite character in the prequels, if I had to pick one, is Obi-wan Kenobi. He’s always gained my respect because he was not only a exemplary Jedi or everybody thought he was the shining example of a Jedi, he wasn’t to me, and I could tell he had cracks in him (if that makes sense and I meant that figuratively) and while it’s not like Anakin’s per se, I admired that about him. He was also mysterious and I had a crush on him during the time the prequels came out. Ironically I’m not really crushing on Ewan McGregor though but I love his acting.

So that’s all for the 10 facts about me! Thank you so much for tagging me Natalie! I appreciate it!

(goes up the steps, knocks on the box) "You okay in there, Saki?" saki:.......... tsubaki: saki!! NoFix: "Ah ah ah...You know what I want." (points at Yohei) "One Shadow Beast for one Shadow Beast's Sister." (leans down the stage, holding a hand out to Soul) "Do we have a deal?" soul:.........first we see saki... Minions: (cock their guns, aim at Soul and Tsubaki) NoFix: (sighs, holds up a hand) "Hold your fire..." tsubaki:........ very well....... i surrender. soul: chie you dont- tsubaki: i'll be ok. i promise. *smiles* NoFix: (drags his feet to the box, gestures to it at Soul and Tsubaki, and taps the box...and the box falls down to reveal Saki) "There. She's there. Now do we have a deal, Yohei?" saki:....................... soul:..................deal... NoFix: (looks at his watch) "60 seconds to have your sisterly reunion..." tsubaki: *she hugs her* its ok, we're getting you out of here.... saki:.......*griiiins* NoFix: "54...53...52..." saki?: *wraps her arms around tsubaki, a little too tightly* soul: what the- NoFix: "Oh!

Yohei: "Mimeca...So he just wanted to kill me and get Chie and Saki..." soul: also he kiiiinda kissed my hand... which again, EW! Yohei: "...That's a little homophobic dude." soul: THAT ISNT WHAT I MEANT! D :< [ITS NOT CAUSE HE’S A GUY ITS CAUSE HE’S A DEPRIVED LUNATIC!!] Yohei: "Whatever. We need to know where Saki is, and you aren't finding her by running away. At least grab a Minion on your way out to interrogate." tsubaki: roger! Minion #16: "Freeze!" soul: !!

Who were those two?!" mimeca:...... *shrugs and turns her hands into a fake bomb and a scythe blade* NoFix: "Weapons?! No wonder Yohei tasted weird!" (thinks) "Wait...If those two aren't Yohei and Shadow Beast, then where are those two?" mimeca:..... *shrugs again* Yohei: (looks at Chie) "What do you want to do?" chie: seems there's a door ahead... Yohei: (taps the side of his glasses, starting the x-ray option) "I can't quite make through the lead door, but I sense someone...Vital signs are weak..." (approaches the door) "Hello?" -its a large garage.... almost like a mech garage- Yohei: "...Crap...What is he keeping in here..." (sees shadows from the light...) "Chie, what can you do with the shadows in here, in case we have to fight?" chie: *biting her lip* whatever we need too... Yohei: "Good..." (pulls out a flashlight, which he holds in one hand while holding Silver Gun in the other...) chie:....its too quiet in here.... Yohei: "Horror film cliche if I ever heard one..." (studying the contents of the garage: robots) chie: ......... Yohei: "Why so many robots...?" (grimaces) "After his obsession with the Fear Robot..." -thud, thud- Yohei: "?!" -two girls lay on the ground, motionless- Yohei: (puts down his gun, approaches the girls) "Crap..." (leans down to check vitals) chie: ...wait... yohei! -the two girls spring to life, one arming guns the other arming blades- mimi droid 1: ufufufufu~ mimi droid 2: <want to try dying once~?> Yohei: "...Oh, fuck no." (aims at Droid #1) -droid 1 charges with blades- ~KILLER MIMIS; Bladetta and Bulletta~ Yohei: (fires a bullet at Droid #1 Bladetta--which sticks to her like gum) bulletta: *shoots at chie, who dodges with a dark shield* Yohei: (smirks at Bladetta...) *The bullet is growing, covering her blade like a wad of gum* bladetta: ?! Yohei: "Ever get gum stuck in your hair?" (fires a bullet through her torso) "Real pain." bladetta: !!!! Yohei: *aims at the forehead* Yohei: "Silver Gun...Final Execution..." *Silver Gun expands* -in the hall- Minion #16: (groaning, unconscious) soul: ok, where's saki? Minion #16: "Wh-Why would I tell you?" soul: cause i'm gonna cut your head right off if you dont tell us! Minion #16: (smirks) "NoFix is going to kill me if I tell you. What else you got?" tsubaki: why did you join him? Minion #16: "...I'm Dokeshi. You think it's easy living in a world where no one looks out for us?" soul:..... we are weapons, so i guess i can see where you're coming from... Minion #16: "So if I can help NoFix make things at least a little bit safer, wouldn't you do the same? That's why he took Saki--to get that Dokeshi sister of hers! And when they find her in the garage, they're in for a surprise! BWa ha ha ha--" o_O "Oh, crap...Um, could you pretend I didn't say that?" soul:...... *KNOCKS THEM OUT UNCONCIOUS* come on! chie: ahh.... damn..... bulletta: ahuhuhuhu~ Yohei: "Chie! Look out!" chie: !!! *dark shield* yohei, are you alright? Yohei: (reaches around Bulletta, snapping her head off) "Fine..." ("I don't know what I would do if Chie was hurt...") chie: ok.....now to find saki... Yohei: (nods, aiming the flashlight around the room...) Yohei: "...So many robots here..." (grimaces, as he sees one towering one) "He...rebuilt it?" -elsewhere- saki: ..................... NoFix: (over an intercom) "How is my darling little Saki-chan?" saki: .......................................... NoFix: "...That good, huh? Glad to hear! Well, just a few minutes, and you'll be up to bat..." saki:.................... NoFix: (gestures to Mimeca) "Want to hear Yohei and his girlfriend scream?" mimeca: *giggling motion* NoFix: (grins) "That's why I like you, Mimeca--always up for a laugh..." (taps on a tablet on the wall, opening a secret door leading into the garage...) chie: ?! Yohei: "...No..." chie: ?!?! NoFix: "Ho yay, Yohei!" (looks to Mimeca) "I kinda want to take on Shadow Beast. You want to have some fun with Yohei?" mimeca: *knife fingers and charges* Yohei: "Get away from Chie!" (runs towards NoFix) NoFix: (holds Chie by the shoulders, between him and Yohei) "Protect me, Shadow Beast! I don't want the big bad Yohei to get me!" mimeca: *kicks him in the chest* *griiiin* chie: yohei! *shadow blade from her elbows and slashes* Yohei: (grimaces, struggles to get a hold of Mimeca's arm) NoFix: (grunts) "Oh, that felt nice..." (his wound is already healing) "Let me try..." (removes a knife, slashes at Chie) mimeca: *KICKS HIM ACROSS THE FACE* C: chie: *pulls away, barely missing the blade* -there is a slight cut on her back that bleeds a little- Yohei: (grunts, knocked to the floor) NoFix: (licks his lips) "Nice..." (wraps an arm around her waist, trying to lift her off the floor) "Let's leave, just you and me..." chie: *shadow melt* Yohei: (struggling to turn over, aiming his gun at NoFix, but can't get a shot around Chie...) NoFix: "???" chie: *appears below mimeca and tosses her* mimeca: DX Yohei: (sighs) "Thank God..." (tries to get up) "You're a life saver, Chie..." chie: *she holds a hand out* dont sweat it. Yohei: (reaches for her hand...) NoFix: "Yoink." chie: !!!??? Yohei: "?!" NoFix: (holding their hands) "Let's dance..." (pulls on both of them, so that they can collide against each other) chie: oof! Yohei: "Oof!" NoFix: "Knock yourselves out, peeps." (pulls up Chie by the arm) "You're coming with me..." mimeca: *turns on some music* chie: let go of me! NoFix: (holds her by both arms, like he is going to ballroom dance) "Can't. Still need you." (backs out of the room) Yohei: "No!" (gets up, trying to run at NoFix) chie: *knees him in the crotch* NoFix: "Uhf! Again?! Really?!!" (spins her around--so her legs knock Yohei in the face) Yohei: "Ugh!" (knocked back to the floor) chie: !!! NoFix: (nears his face to hers, his voice going up an octave...) "That. Hurt. As much as what I'm going to do to you..." chie: !? chie: w-what do you want out of me? NoFix: "You should've heard what your sister said...'Don't hurt Chie! Whatever you do, do to me!' You know what I want? YOUR. POWER!" chie: LIKE HELL I'LL LET YOU- NoFix: "Your worthless human sister ain't worth anything! I want your shadows! I want you to kill! Bathe this world in darkness! Make it spin off its axis! We're going to do a lot of shit together, lady!" chie: in your dreams freak! *A bullet goes through NoFix's shin* NoFix: "Fuck!" Yohei: (holding the smoking gun...) chie: *tries to force nofix off her* NoFix: (squeezes along her waist) "This the best you got? Maybe you aren't worth it...This is the Shadow Beast? No, you're just a little girl!" Yohei: (fires a shot again at NoFix's shin) NoFix: "STOP SHOOTING ME!" (cries) chie: *SHADOW CLAW+SLAP* NoFix: (knocked back, loosening his grip) "Oh...I like that..." (sticks out his tongue towards her) "Hit me again..." chie: *SMACKS HIM TO THE END OF THE HALL* NoFix: (smiling) "Yeah, like that..." (collapses, unconscious) Yohei: (groans) "Chie!" chie: ?? yohei are you ok? Yohei: "Just bruised..." (gets on his two feet) "You?" chie: i'm ok.... Yohei: (tries to stand, but ends up leaning against her shoulders) chie:....... *she hugs him* dont scare me like that, idiot! Yohei: "Could say the same to you, stupid." (holds her...) chie: ............saki... Yohei: (pulls back) "Let's find her and get out of here..." -she's blushing a bit- chie: yeah. Yohei: (trying to ignore the blush as he taps on his earpiece...) "Soul, Tsubaki? Have you found Saki?" soul: not yet, BUT THE GARAGE IS A TRAP- Yohei: "What?!" soul: there's two killer dolls there! chie: took care of that. tsubaki: uhhhh..... Yohei: (sighs with relief) "Okay...But that person I detected in here...Where is Saki?" tsubaki: i think i found something..... *she sends a pic.............its nofix's room* Yohei: (holds the phone, looking at the pic...) "Oh no..." chie: what is it? soul: christ, and i thought kid and that weirdo garland had issues. Yohei: (sweating) "Chie, I don't think you should see this..." chie: what is it yohei? *she looks* O_O;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; *The room has giant photos of Yohei, as well as a blow-up doll in the bed* soul: ugh, the mind can in fact vomit. tsubaki: even on the ceiling... Yohei: "J-Just...We need to focus." (taps his glasses, checking the garage...Points at a wall) "Chie, get us through that wall: someone is behind it." chie: right.... Yohei: (waits for her to break the wall) -the wall is broken- Yohei: (enters with Chie into the room...) -a child is there, crying- Yohei: (holsters his gun) "Hey...What's wrong?" child: there's a scary man who's making my daddy hurt people. i want my daddy and i want to go home! Yohei: (nods) "What's his name?" (taps on his gun to turn it into a microphone) child: Tetsuda......Ichihara..... Yohei: (calls into Silver Gun to Soul and Tsubaki) "Find Tetsuda Ichihara: we are getting him out of here." chie: and you? child: A-Aimi... soul: ok. Yohei: "Stay with us, Aimi. We're getting your dad and you to safety." -in the hall- Minion #89: (groaning on the ground) soul: *grabs him by the neck* Tetsuda Ichihara, where is he? Minion #89: o___o (points to the person next to him) soul: *he looks at the grunt* Minion #108: "A-Aimi..." tsubaki: your daughter is in good hands, sir. Minion #108: "I-I can't leave! He'll kill her!" soul: we found her and she's with people who will keep her safe. aimi: d-daddy? Minion #108: "Aimi!" (seizes Soul) "Get her out of here!" soul: right, get her some place safe! chie: right. Minion #108: (struggles to stand) "He's going to find me..." tsubaki: we're getting you to safety sir. Minion #108: "O-Okay..." **Whistling is heard...** aimi: *singing along* Yohei: "???" chie: ??? Minion #108: (whistles back) "...We need to get moving. NoFix will be here..." soul: got it. Minion #108: (limps along with Soul and Tsubaki) -elsewhere- Kepuri: (in a business suit...and hiding the explosive DWMA collar with that suit) "I am here for my 9:30 AM job interview with Haijima Heavy Industries." employee: right this way ma'am... Kepuri: (walks after the employee..."I miss my old shoes...these just feel awkward..." Adjusts her glasses...which broadcast to DWMA Security) nygus: we're just about in. Spirit: "Good..." Kepuri: (is led into a large room...with robots everywhere) ._.; -worker mimis stare and smile- Kepuri: (nervous smile...but also delighted inside: "OMG the circuit boards the microchips--GASP! How did they get that collider?! That model was pulled off the market years ago! Wait, is that a zero-energy manipulation module?! SQUEE!!!) marie: do you think she'll be ok in there? Spirit: "I don't know. Haijima is known for unsavory business practices, but it's not like they would kill her." interviewer: well hellooooo there :D you here for the intervieeeeew? Kepuri: (smiles) "Yes." (holds out a hand) "I'm Kepuri--" interviewer: ?? Kepuri: "Kepurine Morphia." (reaches for the interviewer's hand) interviewer: nice to meeeet you miss morphiaaaa. Kepuri: "Likewise." ^_^; ("Why are they talking so weirdly...?") marie: i think its a verbal tic? Spirit: "I hope so..." Kepuri: "Well, I look forward to this conversation with you. You have an impressive facility." -elsewhere- Meme: (sewing her Halloween outfit) tsugumi: it was nice of stein to lend you one of his coats, mio-chan. mio: i guess.... Meme: (smiles at Mio) "Yes, Dr. Frankenstein..." mio: 7////7 Meme: (taps her outfit) "I'm just happy to make something that isn't some tacky 'sexy Frankenstein's monster' outfit. Yuck--I'm so sick of that trend." mio: anya seems happy with her pumpkin outfit... Anya: (blushing, smiling) "So much fun..." ao: kukukukuku~ *in her ringu ghost costume* Meme and Anya: (see Ao) "EEEEEEK!" tsugumi: wow, nice costume, ao-chi! ao: thank you, midori helped me with it. Meme: (clutches Mio, shaking with fear) "Creepy..." mio: O///__///O -back in the hallway- Yohei: "Where are you guys?" soul: basement level 1, you? Yohei: "Level 2. We're almost there..." tsubaki: do you know where the exit is? Yohei: "Yes..." (puts a hand to a wall) "Mostly." (whispers to Chie, shows his rectangular package...) "I'm going to blow a hole in this wall to the outside. It is stable here, and it will let us escape rather than going out the exit NoFix is expecting." soul: ok... Minion #108: (walking the stairs with Soul and Tsubaki) "What does NoFix want with you two?" soul: well, he actually wanted the people who are with your daughter, you see, one of the person's sister is being held here... Minion #108: "...Bastard." soul: no kidding.. Minion #108: "Be careful...NoFix can be anywhere..." soul: yeah.... Yohei: (attaches the explosive, holds the detonator...) "Aimi, I want you and Chie to go behind that box and stay there. I need you to keep Chie safe for me, okay?" chie: um...dont you mean keep aimi safe? aimi: hehe~ Yohei: (looks at Chie) "No, I meant keep _you_ safe..." (looks at Aimi) "Can you be the hero she needs, kiddo?" aimi: ok mr! :) chie: ..... *small smile* Yohei: "Hee hee..." (waits for them to get behind the box...) "Soul, Tsubaki, you here yet?" soul: we're at the stairwell now. Yohei: "Okay...When you get here, you're going to hear an explosion. That's me. Don't panic." soul: ok. Yohei: (holds finger over the detonation button...) "Here we g--" (choked at the throat) aimi: ah! Minion #108: (hearing from the stairs) "That's Aimi! What's happening?!" chie: !!! *shadow claw* let him go! NoFix: (chuckling...) "Do you know how much harder it has gotten to heal?" (squeezes Yohei's neck) "My time is limited...If I want to spin this world off its axis, I need to speed up plans. If I have to crack a few eggs to get there--" (punches Yohei in the chest, as ribs are heard cracking) chie: stop it! aimi:.......*she seems scared, but trying to be brave* NoFix: "You know what I want, Shadow Beast." (spots Aimi) "Well, now: who let you out of your cage, Mini-Beast?" aimi:........*she looks at his feet* Minion #108: (gasps as he sees NoFix, ducks under the stairwell to watch...) "Wait..." (looks at Soul and Tsubaki) "What do we do?!" NoFix: "Hey! Look at me, Mini-Beast!" (slams Yohei's face against the wall, right next to the explosive) "Look at me!" -the gravity around nofix reverses, bringing him to the ceiling- NoFix: o_O "Whoa...Wait, what?" soul: what the- aimi: yay i did it! NoFix's grip on Yohei is lost, as he falls towards the floor--and is caught from falling by the anti-gravity* aimi: you ok? Minion #108: "...What on earth...?" chie: what was- Yohei: *coughs up blood* "I can't breathe..." (wheezing) "My lungs..." chie: come on! Minion #108: (picks up Aimi) "Aimi!" aimi: daddy! *she hugs him* Yohei: "Chie...Get us back, then trigger the explosives..." NoFix: "Let me down, you brat!" chie: ok.... -dark portal- Yohei: "Okay...trigger the explosives." -BOOOOM- chie: wait- SAKI! NoFix: "Oh, her? Heh heh heh...You'll see her soon enough..." chie: where is she?! NoFix: (leaning on Mimeca for support, starts singing) "Up on the roof..." chie: *she tries to run to the building* Yohei: "Chie, wait--" (groans) chie: yohei! *she tries to support him* Yohei: (pants) "Soul, get me and Ami out of here with her dad. Chie, go with Tsubaki and get Saki." tsubaki: right! NoFix: "Clock is ticking, buddies...But we're heading out. Until next time, Yohei..." chie: wait- NoFix: "Get us out of here, Mimeca." mimeca: *salutes and pushes a big ol button* **Door opens up, allowing NoFix and Mimeca to exit** -later- chie: ......................... Yohei: (into intercom) "Chie, what's happening?" soul:........... Yohei: (lying in bed) "Ow..." mana: take it easy now.... aimi: *drawing 3 stick figures, one small one with ponytails, one tall man, and a tall woman with wings and a halo* Shotaro: (looks at Aimi's drawing) "Nice work! Who are they?" aimi: this is me, this is daddy, and this one's mommy. Shotaro: (smiles) "Good work!" ("...Her mother...How sad...") aimi: that spinny guy put her to sleep.... daddy says she moved to heaven... i hope i find a way to heaven someday so i can see her again... Shotaro: (sad smile) "..." -there are other drawings, such as ponies, yohei and chie, nofix [or has he has been titled 'mr spinny guy'], and other stuff- Shotaro: "That's Yohei and Chie?" aimi: mmhmm. they're really nice. not like mr spinny guy. *sticks out her tongue* Shotaro: (chuckles) "Yeah, no kidding." ("...He hurt Chie, Mana, Yohei, Tool...I'm gonna break his face...") tsubaki: where are you and aimi going to go from here? Minion #108: "I don't know...Wherever we go, NoFix is going to be around the corner. We need protection, but no police force is going to protect us...Not a Dokeshi child." liz: ....... you should come to death city. Minion #108: "...Would they have us? I worked for a mass murderer." liz: we have people who used to work for a gorgon witch living there... its the best chance to start a new life, trust me. *she smiles* Tetsuda: "...Thank you. What do we need to do?" liz: we'll send a message, do you have anything on you? Tetsuda: "Clothes on our backs, what you see Aimi with, and...a photo album." liz: ah.... we can supply you with a small apartment someplace. Tetsuda: "...What do I have to give you in exchange?" -later- Kid: (walking with only the slightest of limps...) "That man, Yohei...Soul, what happened?" soul: long story. *he's cleaning his hand off as he explains the situation* Kid: "...Good work." soul: yeah.... still, that guy is gonna haunt my nightmares for weeks.... *cringe* kid: "...And Stocking's..." soul:....................... Kid: "...We have to do good in the world, to make up for the evil spread by those monsters. You did good, Soul, far more than I was able to while in this hospital..." soul:..... thanks.... Kid: "I have one more thing I wanted to do...Those people you were working with, Yohei and Chie, would you be willing to speak with me?" chie: sure, what did you need? Kid: "Are you two...going to be okay?" chie: ................................ Kid: (hands her a pocket mirror) "I am in your debt, for what you did for Stocking, my friends, and for me. If there is anything that the DWMA can provide you, you call us, please." chie: with a mirror? Kid: "It's a Death Mirror, attuned to my Soul Wavelength. You tap it, and any mirror near me will get your incoming call." (shrugs) "People tend to focus more on stealing phones from people, but few people think to take away a mirror." chie: ......ooook? Kid: "Is it any more bizarre than...him?" (points at Shotaro) Shotaro: (biting Bone of the Monkey, swinging from the ceiling while eating a banana) chie: true. -elsewhere- Noah: "..." medusa:............... grimoire: here we are. Noah: "And where is 'here'?" (kicks at a fire-ant) ???: "Never. Harm. My ants." grimoire: you shouldnt have done that. Noah: (smirks) "Why not?" (jabs his heel into the fire-ant) Amy the Fire-Ant: (shrieks) **A blast fires into Noah's face** Noah: "AAAAAAaaaaHHHH!" medusa: *smirks* **Light shines slowly onto Ponera on her throne** Ponera: (death glare at Noah, then looks to Medusa) "The Snake." grimoire: *punches noah in the shoulder* medusa: yeah? Noah: (grimaces...robotic voice of Index resumes) "Still the model of perfection, are we not, Original?" Ponera: (glances at Noah...) "Why are you with this cheap knock-off of Grimoire, Snake? I never thought you would debase yourself this much." medusa: well he does contain knowledge of the book of enoch, which mr smary-pants thought was the book of _eibon_, and i would like to use that knowledge for my own purposes. grimoire: T-T Ponera: (smiles) "And now _we_ have the Book of Enoch, and _we_ will use its knowledge for _our_ purposes. Grimmy, please escort the Book and its Icon to the jail cell. I would like to speak with the Snake for a bit." medusa: hehe.. *she smirks at noah* Noah: (resuming control over the Index, glares at Medusa as he is pulled away) Ponera: "Snake...There's something different about you. You get a haircut?" medusa: grew my hair out, new clothes, i'm pregnant no thanks to MR LOOK-ALIKE OVER THERE! Ponera: "..." (squee!) "You're having a baby! That's so cute!" medusa: yeeeeeah..... Ponera: "Have you thought of a name? How many months are you?!" (hugs one of her ants) "This is so exciting!" medusa: ........................... -elsewhere- Black Star: "Man, feels like I've done nothing for days..." Patty: "Tell me about it. It's like I disappeared and everyone forgot about me." Black Star: "Tsubaki, why didn't you take us on your secret mission?!" tsubaki: tell you what, when we get back we'll go on a mission, just the two of us. Black Star: "..." (pouts, crosses his arms) "Okay, fine..." (someone peeks over the couch where Black Star is sitting in the hospital...) Shotaro: (looks at Black Star) "Are you my twin?" Black Star: ._____. tsubaki: ah! Black Star: "...Do you like Charisma Justice?" Shotaro: "I LOOOOOOOve Charisma Justice!" Black Star: "ME TOO!" Shotaro: "AAAAAAH!" tsubaki: oh boy.... Black Star: "AaaaAAAAAH!" Shotaro and Black Star: (bro hug) soul: *chuckles* Yohei: (looking out his window at the Bro Hug, chuckles) "Idiots." (winces, grimaces) "Ah! It hurts when I laugh..." soul: easy there. Yohei: (groans) "Yeah...I would kill for a cigarette..." soul: is that really the best idea right now? Yohei: "No, but neither is addiction." (wheezes a bit) "Even a nicotine patch...Stupid medical doctors with degrees and experience..." soul: you'll probably get along with stein then. Yohei: "Who?" soul: he's one of our teachers, he's also a doctor. kinda crazy, but he's pretty damn good at his job.... mostly. Yohei: "Ugh, more doctors...Hated hospitals whenever I got injured, don't like them now..." (looks at Soul) "By the way, good work back there." soul: thanks..... Yohei: "...Evans, what're you doing at the DWMA anyway?" soul: .........i'm a weapon. Yohei: "Hmm...And a musician, too." soul:.................................. Yohei: "Nice fingers, far too nice for a fighter...but more likely for a piano player." soul: ....................................................... -he tightens his fists- Yohei: "???" soul: nice gun..... kinda looks like a dog. Yohei: "Yeah, my Silver Gun Mach 2. Loyal weapon..." soul: mach 2, eh? Yohei: "Lost the first one to take out the Fear Factory." soul: ah... Yohei: "Yeah...Had to build a new version. At least this one has better reception..." (taps a button, causing the gun to project a football game on hologram) "Ugh, Manchester..." soul: cool. Yohei: "Yep...So, Mr. Evans, what's next for you, Tsubaki, and your group?" soul: probably heading back to death city... Yohei: (nods) "I bet your meister will be happy to see you..." soul: *wince* y....yeah...... Yohei: "???" -later- Kid: "How is packing going?" liz: just about done. Patty: "Yep!" (holds up her suitcase--with clothes poking out of its sides) -and so- Black Star: "Later, London!" -elsewhere- Kepuri: (in her new lab) "Where is it..." interviewer: right thiiiiis way maaaaam Kepuri: "Okay..."

Kepuri: "Will this be where I will work?" worker: yes ma'am. *putting things into a shipping box labled 'send to 5th brigade lab' Kepuri: (spots the box on her glasses..."Hmm...") Spirit: "5th Brigade?" Kepuri: "I am happy to see the equipment available in this lab." (to the Worker) "What's that project you're working on?" worker: mostly construction bots, but hibana ordered these fire flowers in bulk, she says part of them are being used as fuel, the other part is being used in make up and stuff. frickin celebs, am i right? Kepuri: "Ha ha, yeah, I hear that..." Spirit: "Make up...Marie, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" marie: ............ Kepuri: (spots an engine) "Oh, wow! Isn't that the turbine from the Flame-Bot 4200?" worker: yeah, amazing we were able to recover it. Kepuri: "Ha ha, yeah, no kidding." (looks around it) "I thought something with this much power would need more cooling vents..." worker: thats part of what we're working on. Kepuri: "Let me try something..." (types a plan on the computer) "Maybe something like this?" worker: hmmm...ooh.. Kepuri: "That'll reduce the temperature by 12 degrees, and it will lighten the machinery by 40 pounds as well." worker: facinating. Kepuri: (blushing) "Oh, it's just a little thing I do..." Spirit: (eyeroll) -in the cells- Alone: "I miss Bug Girl." -they're playing poker- kinuta: *lookin at her cards* Solence: (face red) "So, who's still in?" kinuta: *she lays down her cards* Alone: "Ha!

What did you use to do?" kinuta: well, i got a hold of a few DWMA secrets, like witches living in the city and such. i go the info by tricking and manupilating one of the death scythes by pretending to date him~ Alone: "I can see that: who wouldn't want to date you? So, who are the witches in this city?" kinuta: besides froggy? my own daughter obvi. Solence: "You have a daughter? Never seen here visiting..." kinuta: thats cause she's an ungrateful little bitch.

Solence: "Well, you going to put in $20 or not? And come on, you telling me you don't wish someone visited you? Not even that Death Scythe?" kinuta: *puts in $20* eh, as if i ever had feelings for him, he was just a pawn. Alone: "But I got to know, what did you do to trick him? I mean, he doesn't seem that dumb to just give up everything." kinuta: well, he was in a rather emotionally fragile state, what with his daughter dying and all. also he's a complete womanizer, so that works. Solence: "..." kinuta: not to mention my charm magic~<3 *winks* Alone: "Dude, you manipulated a guy who just lost his daughter?" kinuta: at least the sex was pretty damn good. Alone: o\\\\o "Oh? He was?" kinuta: unless either of you think you can do better~<3 Alone: (raises his hand) "I do!" Solence: "?!" kinuta: if we get let outta jail, then maybe i'll give it a try~ Alone: "Aw, not here? Come on, they allow conjugal visits!" Solence: (desperately looking for Brain Bleach) kinuta: with outsiders Alone: "So, what you're saying is that, if I broke out, then I could come back and we could do the do?" kinuta: maaaaybe~? Alone: "Awesome! I got my chopsticks--I'll start digging a hole out of here tonight!

Kid: "Thank you..." -elsewhere- Arthur: (drying his hair after a shower) "Jeez...These freaking dreams..." shinra: i heard we got a mission coming up, and not the usual kind either. Arthur: "Oh?" (gets dressed) "What kind then?" shinra: like, espionage? i think? Arthur: "...Spies? That's not very Arthurian." shinra: come on, its gonna be so cool! Arthur: -_-; "You're going to nerd out over this, aren't you? Because being a spy is like being a hero, right?" shinra: yeah, like batman, or solid snake, heck even sly cooper! Arthur: "...Nerd." shinra: like you arent? Arthur: (in only his boxers) "I am Arthur Boyle, proud knight of the 8th Brigade! I am no nerd: I am a shining knight!" (bishie sparkle) shinra: ...........sure dude. **Knock Knock** Akitaru: (opens the door) "Come on, you lollygaggers, we got a briefing on--" (sees the two of them) "...Arthur, put some pants on and get to the meeting room already." Arthur: -___- shinra: *snerk* -and so, in the briefing room- Akitaru: "5th Brigade. What can you guys tell me about it?" shinra: >_> hibana makes me nervous... as do those alien ladies. and dr. conehead. iris:.....she was a sister of the holy sol temple. Takehisa: "5th Brigade. Princess Hibana, leader, third generation Fire Being. Previously employed with the Haijima Heavy Industries--" maki: also a renowned business lady with multiple fashion lines. Arthur: ("...Would Tamaki like that fashion?") (slaps the side of his head) Akitaru: "Yes, thank you, Takehisa, Maki...um, Arthur...that's enough. The connection between the 5th Brigade and Haijima is what you will be looking into, starting with Haijima's newest lab facility. The DWMA has us on this mission." shinra: *whistles* fancy. Arthur: (eyeroll) Akitaru: "DWMA already has a mole inside Haijima. Takehisa: "So our task is twofold. One team will meet the mole to gather intelligence from them. The second team is to join the shipment from Haijima to 5th Brigade, to learn what they are up to." maki: right. Akitaru: "Who is going to follow the shipment? We can't let it be someone that 5th Brigade recognizes easily..." shinra: why dont we wear disguises? Akitaru: "What you got in mind, Shinra?" shinra: like masks and stuff? Akitaru: "Hmm...Masks may be a bit much if you're expect to go through security." Takehisa: "I suggest glasses, hats, and attire to infiltrate Haijima...and maybe masks so that the delivery to 5th Brigade has a...robbery?" shinra: hmm..... that cooould work? Akitaru: "Who can look nerdy enough to fit in at a laboratory? Iris? Arthur?" iris:.......... Arthur: "Um, why don't Takehisa and I go to the lab, while Iris and Shrina follow to the 5th Brigade and try to hijack the vehicle? Maki, where would you be?" maki: i think i have a plan of distraction~ Takehisa: "..." Akitaru: "Ha ha! Good!" (pulls out a map) "Start marking it up, guys--let's see where this plan goes." -elsewhere- Noah: "..." grimoire: so, how many years has it been...? Noah: "I lost count...Time flies when you're having fun." grimoire:.....oh? whats this now? Noah: (chuckles) "Creation, destruction: the cycle of all things. That's how you obtain knowledge is by making it yourself...then destroying it with your own hands." grimoire i'm talking about this malicious young male with the lines in his hair. Noah: (frowns) "What about him? Useless brat..." grimoire:.....its nothing. *he closes the book* Noah: (clenches his teeth) "When I get out, that witch is the first thing I'm pulling into my book." grimoire: which one?......no pun intended. Noah: "Ponera...Give her some time in the Book, and she would be very useful..." grimoire: *glaaaaaare* Noah: "Maybe I'll start by driving her insane. Or break her will. Or some bones." grimoire: *grabs his neck*......... Noah: (chokes) "H-Hey!" grimoire: if you value your life you wont lay as much as a smudge on her. Noah: "..." (smirks) "Death is cheap for me. Can you say the same for her?" grimoire:........... *he exits and slams the door behind him* ............... Noah: (laughs loudly, even as he coughs to breathe) "Simpleton..." grimoire: ................ Nals: "That one sounds like a handful..." grimoire: tell me about it. Nals: "Why keep that thing? Why not burn it and the book, too?" grimoire: because its not so much as a simple book. Nals: "Then what is it?" -he explains the book's origins- Nals: "...Hmm...You think you can do something with this...doppelganger of yours, to bend him to your will and get the power of that book?" grimoire: i could try, i managed to control it once... Nals: "Really? ... How old are you?" grimoire: ....................much older than you......... Nals: o___o; "Uh...Need me to do anything?" -elsewhere- Kid: (walking slowly to class...) kim: welcome back kid, how was london? Kid: (tries to smile) "...Survivable. How have you been?" kim: alright. Kid: "...Did you see us on the news in London?" kim: yeah.... ox: pretty nasty stuff. Jacqueline: "...We're sorry what you went through." Harvar: "..." kilik: .... Kid: "...Thank you. At least we survived. And really, we'll be fine. It's just...a small limp that is taking time..." kilik: what are we gonna do about that guy though? Kid: "You mean NoFix, Kilik?" kilik: yeah, that guy. the DWMA has him pretty much public enemy #1. Kid: "...I don't know. We try to get a read on his Soul Wavelength, but he adjusts it with his Powers of Spin. DWMA West Europe has been trying to get a lead with little luck." kim: spin huh? Kid: "Powers of Spin: he can manipulate the kinetic energy of objects, even the soul itself. One of our new contacts told us, someone who had numerous encounters with the madman." ox: yikes. Kid: (sigh) "It is frightening..." ("...and what he unleashed in Stocking...") Kid: "In any case, I'm just happy to be back in class." kim: glad to _have_ you back. we got some new students in while you were gone. Kid: "Really? Are they in our class?" kim: nah. they just keep to themselves mostly. justin: i did try talking to them, but they just kind of ignored me. kim: *SCREAM* ack! god dammit justin dont sneak up on us like that! Kid: o___O "Um...What...are the students' names?" justin: Foien Li, Karim Fulham, and Rekka Hoshimiya. i think they are members of the 1st brigade and prists of the holy sol temple. Kid: "Oh, more Fire Brigade members. Did they have an orientation?" justin: i havent asked yet. i tried talking to them, but i dont think they noticed me. Kid: "Maybe I could try..." -later, elsewhere- Spirit: "...Marie, any updates from 8th Brigade?" marie: seems they're moved into position. Spirit: "Good...Let's hope they find out what is going on..." (sighs) -at the 5th lab- maki: excuse me sir, do you have a moment for an interview? ???: "And you are?" maki: Itsuyo Akita from the Ogata News Network. i've come to do an impropteau interview with the members of the 5th brigade, any volunteers? ???: ("Ugh...Stupid media...") "Toru! I got a job for you!" maki: *smiles* Toru: (blows bubble) "What?" Officer ???: "This young lady from Ogata News wants an interview." Toru: "..." Officer ???: (smacks the back of his head) "Get on with it!" Toru: "Okay, okay! Jeez!" (sees Maki) o\\\o ("Holy shit, she's hot...") (sleezy, slimy attempt to be suave) "Hey there. What's up?" maki: sooo, toru is it? Toru: "Toru Kishiri. Officer in the 5th Brigade." (winks) maki: ah, i see. and how long have you been in the 5th? (thinking: just resist the urge to punch him. you can do it, think of the mission!) Toru: "About a year--and I'm already a big deal here.: maki: i see. why did you join the 5th brigade out of all of them? Toru: "It's the most powerful--and the girls here are the hottest." maki: is that right? now what about your life before joining? -meanwhile in the van- Akitaru: "...I hope she doesn't punch him for at least another five minutes..." -inside the building- Arthur: (glasses, lab coat, whispers into collar microphone) "This does not feel very 'knightly'..." shinra: *over microphone* we're in position. shinra: also get over it! Arthur: (mutters...) "Hey...I spot two scientists. One looks like our...contact." iris: .... Arthur: (whispering into his comlink) "How should I proceed?" shinra: just be casual. Arthur: (approaches the contact and the scientist with her...) "Excuse me..." (adjusts his glasses) "I am here to bring your progress report to the supervisor." Kepuri: "What's that?" scientist: well we just got our latest shipment in. Arthur: "Oh, good. Are the contents all accounted for?" scientist: seems a bit heavy, guess we got extra. the princess will be please about this. Arthur: ("Princess?") "Yes, I'm sure she will." (looks to Kepuri) "Please get me a tally of the amount." Kepuri: "R-Right!" (to the other scientist) "Off to count, right?" scientist: right. Kepuri: (walks with scientist into the lab to count, followed by Arthur) Arthur: (glancing at the equipment in the lab...and surprised to see a BODY IN A GIANT LIQUID-FILLED TANK) o__o -inside the box- iris:...... Kepuri: "Uh...Well, shall we count?" shinra: (thinking: what do we do?) Arthur: "Hey, what's this button do?" (pushes a button on the BODY IN THE GIANT LIQUID-FILLED TANK) -a clone angel falls out, then springs to life, screaming- Kepuri: o_______o; (clutches the scientist) "EEEEEEEEEEK!" Arthur: (taps on the box, whispers) "I just gave you your distraction. You're welc--" --The Clone Angel slugs Arthur in the face-- scientist: hey dont touch that! *he runs over* Kepuri: (shaking the scientist) "What the hell is even going on?!" Arthur: "...Oh, I hate today--" --Clone Angel kicks Arthur in the face— shinra: *whispers* ok go go go. -he and iris sneak into a vent- Kepuri: "EEEEEK!" (tosses the scientist around--knocking them into a wall) Arthur: (spots Shinra and Iris successfully getting into the vent) "Good--" --Clone Angel steps on Arthur's head, knocking him down on the floor-- -in the vent- shinra: ok, we're moving into position. Akitaru: "Great work! But why isn't Arthur replying?" shinra: he'll be fine, just making friends. Akitaru: "...Oh, good! Iris, you ready?" iris: {thinking: thats _one_ way of putting it} *sweatdrop* y-yes... Akitaru: "Okay--stay chill out there. Call us if things get heavy. Obi out." shinra: *sniff sniff* you smell that? smells like fancy perfume... ???: (laughter heard through the vent...) iris: what was that? ???: "Glorious work, Shaula." shaula: of course, that little hybrid worked wonders. shinra: ?! Hibana: "Nimble, quick, fiery...All that I can expect in a future Angel." shaula: and dang good looking to boot! hehe~ Hibana: -_- "Really now, do you ever turn off?" shinra:........ Hibana: "Let's change the subject: any updates on the Ant's progress?" shaula: coming along pretty good. i'll be taking my leave for now, till next time, hibana-mama~ Hibana: "Good-bye." (sits at her desk, sorting through photographs...And a photo is on her desk of someone in a habit...) shinra:......... Hibana: (stares at the photograph...then turns it around so it no longer faces her) "Stupid..." -they would follow her through the halls until she was alone- Hibana: (stands up, stretches, puts on her shoes, and exits her executive office...approaches someone at a secretary's desk) "Gabriella, I'm going to the gym. Forward any calls to my cell." gabriella: very good ma'am! Hibana: (alone in the hallway..."Eerily quiet...") (whistles a familiar tune...) iris: .......... Hibana: (half-singing) "I am the bread of life, broken for all..." shinra:...... Hibana: (sees the gym's entrance ahead...) "One faith, one hope, one symbol of love..." shinra:........ Hibana: "No longer servants..." (suddenly, she snaps her fingers, causing an explosion to go through the vents above her) -thud- shinra: ow..... crap... iris you ok? iris: ah... i think so- **Hands reach through the metal wreckage, tossing Shrina by his leg into the wall, and seizing Iris by the throat** Hibana: (holding up Iris) "..." shinra; iris! let go of her! iris: grk- **Suddenly, flower-like objects flutter around Shinra** Hibana: (glares at Iris's habit) "I always hated that habit..." iris: s-sister....please. Hibana: (demonic grin, as she rubs her fingers along the habit's fabric) "Beg me..." shinra: get away from her! Hibana: (sighs) "So annoying..." **Snaps her fingers, causing the flowers to explode around Shinra** shinra: ack! iris: SHINRA! Hibana: (cackles) "Flowers of the rarest belong to the fairest..." (rubs a finger along the scar on Iris's cheek) "Who brought you here?" iris:... shinra: *he struggles to get up* Hibana: (increases her grip on Iris's neck) "Was it that idiot Obi? Perhaps another party is involved..." (stares into Iris's eyes, her smile growing more demonic) "Who else is involved in your little subterfuge?" iris: *struggling to breathe* shinra: *he charges* Hibana: "Omph!" (knocked down, letting go of Iris) Akitaru: (struggling to hear on the mics) "Damn it! I lost their signal! Maki, Arthur! Report!" maki: hmm? shinra: iris! you ok? iris: *coughs* i-i think so.... **Fireball heading towards Shinra...** shinra: *dodges, but just barely* woah! Akitaru: "Maki! Get to the 16th Floor, West Wing! Iris and Shinra are in trouble! Damn it, Arthur, report!" Arthur: (head getting slammed against the wall by Clone) Kepuri: (hiding under her desk, whispering...) "Damn DWMA!" scientist: *tries to pull her off* down girl! iris: sister, please! Hibana: (fire swirling around her, as she dances with it, guiding it--then she points her index and middle finger at Shinra, firing the blast at him) shinra: *trying to dodge.* damn.....why are you doing this? Hibana: "..." (takes a step forward--and it impacts the floor with force, forming a crater in the tile) "What happens when an angel falls?" shinra: *he grabs iris to protect her* what the heck?! iris: !!!! Hibana: "What do you do when God turns away from you?" (next step forward--and the tile there also craters, lifting off the floor with her heel as she keeps walking) "What do you become when God leaves you to burn?" shinra:......a demon..... Hibana: (sneers, as flames shoot along her head to form like horns) "Yes!" **The walls are aflame, whipping around Shinra and Iris** shinra:.... *smirks* you know what happens to demons that come up from hell sometimes? Hibana: (matches his smirk) "Yes...The Earth becomes their domain, correct?" shinra: they like to possess innocent people. iris: dont you remember sister? our time together at the temple? Hibana: (screams at Iris) "Shut up!" (sends a fireball at Iris's feet, just missing...Inhales, taps her collar) "Gabriella, cancel my 6 o'clock. Also, block Floors 14 through 18. Increase security at all levels. And bring two bodybags." gabriella: right away ma'am~ Hibana: (sneers again) "Where were we?" (dashes forward, her heels cracking the floor before she leaps and descends, aiming her heel at Shinra's head) iris: i remember those days. she were so kind, and all the sisters adored her. i remember how she would always look out for us....but you.... you’re not the hibana i knew! shinra: *dodge, getting a scratch in the process* ow... Hibana: "No, I'm not!" (kicks at Shinra face, while picking up Iris and holding her under her arm) iris: but.... i know she's inside you... she's scared and lonely... we want to help her. Hibana: (eyes widen) "What?!" shinra: *rolls out* what i see is a demon possessing a frightened sister.....someone who was hurt.... iris told me a lot about you. and im sure she's right, she's just being controlled by a demon. a demon called 'fear.' Hibana: "I have no fear!" (but her eyes are wavering...) iris: *struggling to break free* shinra: i dunno, the shaking knees say otherwise. Hibana: (tottering...nervous smile) "Th-That's just the heels...Heh...You try wearing them in combat, you little shit." (squeezes Iris tighter by the back of her neck) iris:.....*she wraps her arms around hibana's waist, humming a soft melody, a familiar melody* Hibana: "Wh-What are you doing?" (charging a flame petal in her hand) "Stop that." shinra: she's appealing to your humanity.... cause behind that demonic mask, there's a sister who needs our help. iris: hehe~ *she smiles* Hibana: "...That girl is gone..." (holds up the flame in her hand, increasing it, as she slowly brings it to Iris's unscarred cheek) "...Now to finish the work..." (tear falls...) shinra: hey... fus....ro..... Hibana: (stops, looks at Shinra) "What?" shinra: DAH!!!! *PUNCH* Hibana: o___O (lets go of Iris, but her flame flies up into the ceiling...) iris: are you ok sister? Hibana: (seething, deep breathing) "How dare you touch me! How dare--" (struggles to stand, then falls, her heel breaking) "Ow ow ow!" shinra: easy there.... *he takes out some bandages* need some help? Hibana: (pathetic growl) "Get off of me. I don't need help." shinra: do you know why we're here? shinra: what we're doing? Hibana: "Why else would Obi send his brats: to steal my work for some blackmail..." (desperately trying to charge another attack, out in the open, obvious to Shinra and Iris) -they walk up to her- shinra: nope. Hibana: "?!" (tries to increase the flame, but it is starting to sputter) -iris and shinra look at each other and nod..... they then hug her- shinra: we're preforming an exorcism. Hibana: "Wh-What?! Get off of me!" (she sends the flame at Shinra...the tiny little flame...) iris: sshhhhh.... its ok.... Hibana: T____T "You are pathetic. You 8th Brigade brats are truly childish. I am an adult, I see that this world is pain, and only the strong survive. Strong people don't cry..." (sniffs loudly, as she remembers hugging Iris when they were in the temple) iris: *she sings a soft song, one that hibana used to sing to calm iris down when she was scared* Hibana: o__o "...N-No..." (crying) "Stop." (sobbing) "STOP." (ugly sobbing) "STOOOOoooooOOOOP..." shinra: just let it out sister.... *he pats her back* Hibana: "DON'T TOUCH ME!" (ugly sobbing continues) maki: alright nobody mo-....uhh.... oh.... iris: *she smiles* its ok, we're not gonna hurt you. Hibana: .\\\\\\\. (small voice) "I am a demon...Fear me...Rowr." iris: *she chuckles* its ok sister. -later, after she is taken in- Hibana: -\\\\\\- "I hate you all." iris: we love you too. -elsewhere- Ponera: (holds teapot) "More tea, Mama Snake?" medusa: how did i get into this. milia: i shall have some~ what about you nalsie~? Nals: (wearing a princess crown) "No, thank you..."

Flame Princess is late..." -phone rings- Ponera: "Oh!"

I'm all the way down here without--" o____o "...Who just said that?" Noelle: [one of your other selves? did you really forget we exist?] Noah: "...Yes, since you were rather quiet while I was training the Snake." Noelle: [*cringe* yeah.... lust and wrath are in here too] Noah: "...Oh no..." Lust!Noah: (odd noises) Noelle: [SHUT UP!!] Lust!Noah: "I NEED THE SEX!!!" Noah: (yelling) "This is why I don't want any of you in my head! Noelle! Why now?!" -elsewhere- Kid: (in Gallows Mansion gym, walking briskly on treadmill) liz: you're doing great kid. Kid: (smiles) "Thanks...Tomorrow, I increase the speed a bit to practice running..." (inhales a bit, but he's wheezing slightly) Kid: (trips a bit--but catches himself) liz: easy there. Kid: "Woo!" (laughs a bit) "Close call." Patty: (lifting weights) stocking: you ok? Kid: (smiles) "I'm doing great."

And..." blair:.... *she hugs him* Spirit: "I hate her...not as much as I hate myself, but I want to...I'm..." blair: there there..... Spirit: "..." (breathes in slowly...calms down) blair: want to spend the night? Spirit: "..." (nods) -elsewhere- Arthur: (winces as someone dabs on the cuts on his face) "Ow!" maki: hold still you baby. Arthur: "I am...Not my fault that peroxide hurts." shinra: it would hurt less if you stopped squirming you weenie. Arthur: -_- "Oh, I'm sorry. I was the knight who allowed the hero and the princess to confront the deadly dragon, while said hero and princess let me to BE BEATEN BY A--A--WHAT WAS SHE?!" shinra:........*shrugs* Arthur: "...How is Iris?" shinra: she's doing alright... a lot better now.

I didn't get to say it in London, but that was cool of you to help that girl." soul: do you think maka would have been proud of me? Black Star: "...Dude, she already was a long time ago. This would just make her, like, super-duper-proud times infinity." soul: *chuckles* Black Star: (smiles..."He's gotten a bit lighter and cheerier later") "What're you up to tomorrow?" soul: what day is it tommorrow? Black Star: "Thursday." soul: not sure, might do more work. you? Black Star: "About the same...Tsubaki has us picking up trash in the park Saturday, so I'm stuck having to finish some homework Thursday night." soul: ah. Black Star: "Yeah...Was thinking of maybe, I don't know..." (muttering) "...take Tsubaki out for dinner..." soul: yeah, she's earned it. Black Star: "Y-Yeah...Found a good sushi spot." -the next morning- Kid: *yawn* stocking: zzzz..... Kid: ("...After school. I do it for her.") (kisses her forehead) stocking: mmmn.. morning.

(licks his sharp teeth) "Good to know." kim: *knee to the crotch* Dagon: "...This is what you get for being a jerk, sir." Kau'i: (high-pitched) "Clam it..."

Patty: (shouting) "Okay!" (leaves for vending machines) liz: ok, what is it? Kid: (opens the box to her--inside is a silver ring, with a dark diamond on it, an inscription inside, and a light design along the ring similar to angel wings...) liz: wow. Kid: (nods) "Please, not a word to Stocking...I want to wait until...after college. It's stupid to prepare so far in advance, isn't it?" liz: well, its very....you. Kid: (laughs, as he closes the box) "Well, when you have half your body ripped apart, it tends to make you overly cautious..." (the box slips out of his hand to the floor) "Whoops!" (he gets on one knee, to pick it up--and as he looks up at Liz, the box opens before her) o\\\\\\o ???: "What the hell?" liz: LIKE HELL YOU CREEP! *SHE KICKS KID IN THE FACE* Kid: "UHF!" (falls back, the box closes and goes up, landing safely on the counter) Harvar (???): "...Huh."

Come on down, Kiki and um Tamaki!" kirika: its kirika. -after petting and looking after the kitty- kirika: =w= ~<3 tamaki: i think we broke her. Tezca: "Great! Learning to tend to a small kitten is important for soldiers: you have to know how to react to them, predict their behavior, but be gentle. Now we can try with a bigger example!" *ROWR* tamaki: uhhhh... *SWEATS* **A lion walks into the classroom** -at lunch- kirika: *convered in bandages* worth it. Patty: "You did great work, Kirika! Petting, rubbing his tummy, serving as his human chew toy..." kirika: yeah....um...gopher i think thats enough bandages now. -_-; Gopher: "I didn't get all of the cuts though...Are there any other cuts I should tend to?

Patty: "You know, that lion chewing Kirika makes me think that we should take the kids to the zoo again soon...But for today, I don't know...You hungry?" stocking: yeah. how about you kid? Kid: (nods) "Any suggestions?" < > Cafe <x> Restaurant < > Sweets liz: how about a restaurant? Patty: "Oh, yeah! I could go for a late lunch/pre-dinner!

xela, my baby.

everything’s been better ever since we’ve met.

it hasn’t been long since i’ve loved you but that doesn’t matter, right?

it was no doubt that you made my days brighter, better, and of course, kboo-er. kekeke. how’d you manage to make me like you in such a short time? ahhh idk. it was probably because you were being too cute, am i right.

i remember staying up just so i’d get to talk to you. i found out a few days in after i joined augury that our timezones were pretty far apart. sad face x100. but i chose to ignore that and just. stay up to talk to you. hehe. you >>> sleep. it’s been a month and a few days now but i still prioritize you over sleep, oops. what is sleep when you have xela? totally relatable.

i was honestly confused with my feelings at first. am i just mistaking his kindness as him liking me???????? what r these feelings?????????? i was really thinking hard about it for a few days but in the end i just went like.  you know what! yolo!  and succumbed to the whole I Like Him So Much I Want To D*e phase. which i rarely go through, ok.

so in conclusion of me @ you in augury: HE’S SO CUTE I LIKE HIM SO MUCH IS THIS THE RIGHT THING TO DO????? HECK YEA IT IS !

JEFKDMS anyways....... moving on to when we started talking on fl and kkt. you!!! were!!! still!!!! so!!! cute!!!!! HOW!!!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHH I WAS SO WHIPPEDT FOR YOU EVEN BEFORE OUR LITTLE “i like you so much T___T” CONVERSATIONS YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW.

imagine how happy i was when you said you liked me too. ( hint: very... keke... )

on a more serious note, thank you for existing. i know i’ve said this a lot of times before but i really mean it, hehe. you definitely make my days brighter and better than ever. ahhh. no words can ever fully describe all the feelings i have for you.

every little thing you do, every tiny detail, makes me love you even more. i love how you always put up with my lame ass self. from the political “it’s me, not you.” paragraph all the way to the hamlet’s “to be or not to be?” soliloquy. sometimes i  wonder, how do you put up with me? but i’m thankful you do. hehehe. i love how you always make me smile at everything you do.

also, i’ve always wanted to say this to you. i’ll always be there for you through your ups and downs. i’ll make sure to remind you how beautiful and perfect you are at every chance i get. i’ll stay true to this and i’ll try my best to push all your insecurities away and make you feel like the most amazing little angel there is in the whole wide world; which you already most certainly are in my eyes.

i love you so much, baby. i hope you never lose your smile!!!! please continue to be happy and i’ll be happy too. you’re so smol and precious and i just constantly feel like wrapping you in dozens of fluffy blankets and protecting you from all the bad there is in the world. or you know,, i could just hide you under my shirt and keep you safe from here. ㅠ ㅠ  cries. you’re just so important and precious to me,,

putting the sappiness aside;

if kisses were water, i’d give you an ocean. if hugs were seconds, i’d give you hours. if smiles were stars i’d give you the galaxy. if touches were tears, i would cry. if love was time, i’d give you eternity.

* bites my fist *  i don’t believe in forever, but i think i’ve found forever in you, my aegi.

ahhh i can't believe i wrote that this is making me so shy i hate this but its okay as long as it makes you smile because your smile brights up the whole world. but you are my world so hehehehe... i’m so gross i’m sorry forgive me fdbsjkgnk.

and with that embarassing confession of mine out aside..

i have... something to ask you..

xela!!!! the little aegi that i love so much!!! will you be my mine?

You might not think this after you read chapter 16. It’s a kind of flargh chapter but needed to be in there so T_____T I’m kinda nervous about it but hopes everyone enjoys and feel it was worth the wait.

Anonymous said to enaasteria: May 20th 2017, 12:32:00 am · 5 months ago So I was wondering did ahri told sehun about what happened to her while sehun went after jiyul like she drank the juice and was taken to hospital or did sehun already knew or anyone told him bc I think you didn't mention that?..

Soi definitely told him---actually her wrath probably yelled at him and was infuriated with his poor actions. he probably got scolded by everyone tbh.

Anonymous said to enaasteria: May 29th 2017, 6:07:00 pm · 4 months ago Youre probably busy with apartment 5108 but i really hope you do come back to keepers! Chapter 1 left me on edge and im still eagerly waiting for the next part!! Much love sent your way❤️❤️❤️

Anonymous said to enaasteria: June 24th 2017, 11:31:00 pm · 3 months ago ena, i just wish you can fathom 1/16 of the greatness you've omitted onto the exo fandom. you're writing is absolute perfection. fandom writers are just not appreciated enough! you're art is just as important than the art exo creates. you are able to create a story and a character. just think about that. a person and their life. real or not, you've created a character all of us can relate to in one way or another. i hope you keep finding joy in what you do and never lose this passion. 🌺

I remember reading this message 3 months ago and it made me want to cry. Thank you so much for your kind words and thank you for appreciating fanfiction as an art form. I think this writing is such a lost art and people don’t appreciate the time and effort going into a story. But reading this made it so worth it and thank you so much for your kindness!

Anonymous said to enaasteria: July 7th 2017, 7:22:00 am · 3 months ago Omg i just followed you now bcs of apartment 5108 and others too. Geez why i havent discovered you then?! Seriously for me its really hard to find fanfic that matches with my reading style gosh its pretty damn well written and you succesfully made me feel like im the character. You mess my feeling hun'. You did it. Seriously youre one of the best writer i ever known in tumblr. Im looking forward to ch 16 and others too. I hope u doing well!!!! Lots of love from your lovely reader💛

Thank you so much for your kind words! It’s such a huge compliment to see you hold my writing to such a high regard and I hope this next chapter doesn’t disappoint. I’m so glad you like it and please let me know what you think of the rest of the chaps!

Anonymous said to enaasteria: July 7th 2017, 12:45:00 pm · 3 months ago I've been following you for about a year now and DAMN HOW I LOVE YOU. Its been a year since you last updated Apartment 5108 but you still log in to check on your fans. Writers block is an ass but all you need is some inspiration and then you'll be firing away with the Seahri feels. or Ahrun feels. However you decide to ship them. Also Chanyeol is my fav and the fic you wrote called Two killsss meee. THANK YOU! Also, I'm Egyptian. Pretty cool knowing you have international readers eh?

I’m so sorry you’ve had to wait so long for a chapter!!! It’s so amazing how there are international people reading this and I can’t thank you enough for your kindness and also for sending me this comment but ALSO SEAHRI. LIKE THIS KILLS ME AND ITS SO CUTE AND ADORABLE.

Anonymous said to enaasteria: July 7th 2017, 1:56:00 pm · 3 months ago Hey Ena! Just wanted to tell you that I literally open your page every single day (its been 3 months LOL) , just to check if there's any update for apt5108, no rush but that just show how much i adore your work, i just freakin' love your story! I never felt so desperate waiting for the next chapter.. but I believe good things take a long time, and I believe your work could be one of the good things, even better the best thing!! Love, Your biggest fan💕

IM SO SORRY FOR THE WAIT. I don’t know what to say other than this year has been a mess and a true struggle but I dearly wanted to write this chapter and forced myself to do it and post today. I’m so sorry if it wasn’t worth the wait but hopefully it’s a good continuation to their story T____T

@sehun---addict said to enaasteria: July 20th 2017, 10:07:00 pm · 3 months ago Personally i would rather wait until you finish the story and post it in one go bcs waiting game for each chap is pure torture . Much love♡

I wish I could’ve posted it all but 16 nearly killed me to just finish so I hope this is a good chapter to hold you off until 17 T___T

Anonymous said to enaasteria: July 20th 2017, 10:14:00 pm · 3 months ago In reference to your tag in the previous ask- I think posting the chapters as you finish them would be preferable for me. That way I wouldn't have to wait as long for another update? But I'm wondering if writing it all and posting it generally at one point would be easier on you, so that it could kind of be one and done. Either way, I appreciate you taking the time to write this story! You are so incredibly talented and I find it so kind that you take time out of your day to write.

16 is going up soon. I hope you enjoy it and I’m so sorry for the wait. Thank you for your patience and I hope you read with low expectations because I’m a bit nervous about this chapter. It’s excruciatingly long T.T

Anonymous said to enaasteria: July 20th 2017, 11:46:00 pm · 3 months ago please post 16 when it's finished! that way we can have a new chapter at a time to enjoy!

@yoruu-gen said to enaasteria: August 21st 2017, 1:01:00 pm · a month ago Happy Fanfic Writers Appreciation Day to my most favorite fanfic author in existence ❤ Apt 5108 is by far the best thing I've read on this website and I look forward to continue stalking your Google Docs 👀 I'm so thankful that you pulled me out of the writer's block abyss and I hope I won't disappoint in the future lol. Thanks for always being such a great friend and for always dying with me about our biases 😅 Love u lots~~

YOUUUUUU. I LOVE YOU. I also thank you so much for helping me with this chapter. You are such an inspiration and I know you feel like you’re not that great of a writer but honestly---you are one of the two I really, truly, look up to on this platform. I always enjoy your words, your stories, YOUR STRUGGLES with your biases but also so thankful for your friendship. 

Anonymous said to enaasteria: August 26th 2017, 9:36:00 am · a month ago Red is my favorite fic and it impacted me so much in a way i can only be thankful. Getting away of a one-side love relationship was really a big choice i should have made before but it's really scary to do so. Reading Red helped me aknowledge what i was doing to myself after denying it for too long and i finally decided to take care of myself for once. So i'm thankful because your amazing way of using words helped me realize i should do what's better for me and no one else. Take care of yourself

Red is honestly one of my favorites too. It was so easy to write (compared to apt) hahaha and although Sehun wasn’t a good character in it, I enjoyed the progression of how real the characters were? Like---this happens in real life and not all things end happily with rainbows and butterflies. It is a struggle to see a person go through something like this but it’s also a testament to their character and their willpower to walk away from it and say when they’ve had enough. I hope you’re doing well, anon.
