"An Unfortunate Encounter"

[1/2] Accidental Meeting

Aaggghhhh so this is a fic ft. My Narrator and @callixspod 's Narrator who are both named Devin and Nathan respectively. Since I lack the energy to draw multiple panels of dynamic fighting poses, I'd decided to write it out instead into a fic. The fic's gonna be devided into two parts + 1 epilogue. No warnings for this first part, so please forgive my writing as this is my first time publishing a fic anywhere and I hope you enjoy

"Alright, Stanley, well done!" Nathaniel cheered for his Stanley from the intercom. He looks at one of the monitors where his Stanley is in. He could see him looking up at the camera and giving him a thumbs up. "Good job at getting that figurine!" The two were testing out a newly placed stanlurine? Figley? Whatever the fuck you call them that Nathan had placed. It was put in a somewhat of a new area. To be honest, the Narrator just took some old assets of the game and recycled it for this "new" area.

"Stand there, I'll be right with you in abit" With a smile, Nathan gets up from his seat and makes his way to the exit door of his control room. So you know that feeling when you stepped off a lower step that you didn't expect to be there so you just experience that mini heartattack because you feel like you're falling? Yeah, Nathan was experiencing that. He froze in front of that doorframe for probably a solid minute, though he isn't sure why. Normally he'd just resume his way, but something feels different. Something doesn't feel right. He looks around, feeling confused. He then turned to where his control room was behind him. And it was... the broom closet? How did that happen? He should get back into his own Parable, Stanley's gonna be worried why he suddenly disappeared for no reason.

"Honestly, Stanley. Why do you hate the blue door so much?"

A voice. Nathan whipped his head towards the source of it. That wasn't just anyone's voice, that voice was similar to his! The confused statement echoed through the hallway he was in. Though he was caught off-guard by this sudden no-clipping from his own parable, he was going to ask for help in getting out of here. Surely this other Narrator would kindly give him directions, right? What could go wrong?

"Really Stanley, does the color blue give you a bad vibe???" The Narrator asked confusedly. He had been rambling for who knows how long now. Stanley folds his arms, rolled his eyes, and rudely looks away. Oh he's being a prick on purpose again. "There's multiple other objects with the same color! And yet you chose to hate this one particular do—" The Narrator paused his narration as Stanley puts a hand up againts his own that has an eye on it. "I- Really Stanley?!" He sounded offended. "How could you interrupt me while I was in the middle of my sentence?! Stanley, I—"

[Do you hear that?] Stanley asked. "Hear? Hear what?" Devin went silent and enhances his hearing sensitivity through the control room. "Is... is that-" [Footsteps?] They continued each other's sentences. Devin panicked and this time Stanley was confused. Was this another foreign anomaly? "Stanley, hold on" and with that, a pair of neon yellow hand started to appear and summoned a door where Devin stepped out.

"Stanley, who is-" And there he was. An individual coming through the blue door, with bright and dark skin, the two colors clashing on this stranger's face. The two stared at him wide-eyed as the stranger looked at them, equally baffled.

Nathan felt awkward by this odd first encounter. No one had really been this shocked at seeing him. He tries to start a conversation to ease things down "Why the shocked face-" Devin pushed Stanley behind him. A set of two big orange hands appeared between Devin and Stanley, both hands were aimed at Nathan with what seemed like charged beams on each finger tips "Who are you" Devin asked menacingly. His eyes looked as if they were burning with anger already, yet there was a very subtle hint of anxiety.

"Woah there!" Nathan puts both his hands in front of him. "There no need to fight! I'm just here to ask directions!" He explained frantically. "Tch. Yeah right" Devin sneered. "I don't know how you passed my security, but I'll handle you myself regardless" His eyes grew more hatred by the second as he glares at Nathan. "Move away, Stanley!" Devin turned his head back for a moment to look his Stanley. As Stanley stepped back, he could feel himself immediately getting clamped up by a new set of hands that carried him away quickly. Devin then snapped back towards this stranger.

"A FOREIGN ENTITY SUCH AS YOU!" The hands flexed.

"Should not be in my Parable."

Part [1/2] end

NGAAHHHH IDK IF I'M GONNA CRINGE AT THIS LATER OR NOT, PLEASE FORGIVE ME XKSHIXJD. Btw yes, I'm turning the line said by Devin in my free collab as his trademark. Aaaaaahhh this is part one end, I hope it was alright, god I feel kinda embarassed. If there were any grammatical errors, then I am sorry, English is not my first language. Critisims are highly appreciated. Rahh stay tuned for part two

[kwamiwayzz]

I've been sick in bed all week and decided to watch the pilot so my impressions so far. I'd say spoilers ahead, but who's actually watching out for those for this:

Animation is okay, don't expect KyoAni or Mappa obviously. I can't really say for sure if the "bad and sloppy" art style is completely intended but when you have shots like this

...it kinda screams low quality, low effort

Much of the pilot plot is dumb stuff like the actual games. Nicole is trying to find money to buy this Avril Lavigne belt from Emily and she goes from offering to wash Jecka's car, thinking about doing caricatures for money (Jecka says she can't draw), selling crushed up aspirin and pretend it's cocaine, and she even took the dough from a random pizza place to sell figures while passing it off as "genuine Italian crafts".

Jecka tells her to get a job like usual.

Ari works at Hot Topic and being tortured as usual, but she gets somewhat of a win towards the end of the episode.

We literally see Ari cutting herself out of frustration because of her shitty job.

The rest of the pilot is just going from here to there to what you'd expect if you've played the games. It's not amazing, and I do think the voice acting is still good, but I don't think it translated out super well in an anime-setting.

I did enjoy some parts like...Jeckole

Based on this shot where they're watching TV, it looks like Nicole might be spending time at Jecka's house, despite the second game having her try to keep her away from her pervy dad.

Oh damn, Nicole selling out Jecka for her own gain just so she could get the belt Emily was selling? Then telling Ari she'll get over it? Well, we'll see...

So, you gonna apologize or what?

Trying to fix it by letting Jecka wear the belt every other day? Also, she looks like a lost puppy here lmao.

But similar to that one part in Re-Up, Nicole can win Jecka's favor back again by throwing Jeffery under the bus.

Did Nicole fucking kill Jeffery?? ToT

I guess that's what it takes to win Jecka back bye asdfaklfgkjalskd

Anyway, my overall thoughts on this pilot. It's fine for what it is. Keep your expectations similar to the games, because it's not like there's going to be anything mind-blowing. I'm mostly here for the voice acting, Nicole and Jecka, the rest of the cast, and the dumb stuff.

Out of everything, I think I really enjoyed the dumb dialogue among all the characters. They're just acting like typical (possibly exaggerated) white teenagers in that setting by getting into goofy scenarios and if the rest of the anime is like this, I might actually consider staying for the rest of its run.

SPY X FAMILY CHAPTER 107!!!

Looks like we got another family ooting but at a festival this time!

Loid is out here to get closer to Melinda while Anya gets to play at an amusement park, so everyone (supposedly) wins. Sadly it seems the abandonment issues have once again reared it's ugly head.

It's The Boys & Butlers™ making a guest appearance!

Aaaahhhhh! We finally get to see Loid meet the butlers!

sdfio;hrfiuafhuisdafio;hasfhuikasashuio BECKY'S MOM IS HERE!!

BILL?! ARE WE GONNA GET GEORGE TOO?!

HOLY SH*T!

Marvel: Infinity War is the most ambitious crossover in history.

Me: THIS F*CKING CHAPTER!!!

Dang, looks like the entire school is here & Anya seems to be well known not just among her peers, but their families as well. Loid's gonna have a field day with this!

Loid is becoming overstimulated from all the connection making! May I recommend decompressing in the Tunnel of Love with Yor?

Enough pleasantries! It's game time!

Alright, I'm not gonna put all the pictures, but essentially Loid realizes how much Anya has been making connections in her own way & how that would benefit The Mission™.

Jeeves makes a speech on how he wants the kids to go down their own path & the parents (or at least Mrs. Blackbell & Mr. Glooman) are receptive to it. This makes Loid feel guilty since he's using & pushing Anya towards his own goals.

I kinda wonder if maybe Loid is going to try to keep Anya out of mission stuff & have it lead to a misunderstanding that she's not needed anymore? Probably not, but we'll just have to wait & see.

Moving on, we got fortune tellers. I got a bad feeling about this.

So back in chapter 95 we got to see Arnold Crowley who is a reference to Occultist Aleister Crowley. It looks like Arnold (or maybe his parents) do dabble in more supernatural matters. Or at the very least, really good at cold reading. I'm hoping the Crowley's don't have any abilities like Anya does & it really is just cold reading for them.

On the brighter side, we got the psychic version of Moon Moon:

And she has just as much grace as Tumblr's favorite wolf.

Lo & Behold it's Yor's girlfriend Melinda! I guess those satanic ritual rumors probably stemmed from this. Is there a Project Apple connection? Idk, probably not (hopefully).

That's the end!

I guess this is gonna be the next arc where we have all the kids together; that's pretty neat! Since we saw the sign for Magical★ Crowley, my guess is we'll probably see Arnold at the festival too.

I wonder if they'll all have class together too when school starts again?

Official Guilty Gear Anthology- Short Story "Drifting Mirror" (English Translation)

This will be a full English translation of the short story "Drifting Mirror", written by an anonymous author.

It’s the third out of five short stories included in the "Official Guilty Gear Anthology", which was available online for a limited time only from April 1st to April 8th 2024, as part of April Fools’ Day celebrations.

Drifting Mirror

"Funny isn't it? Against all my best judgment, you're the only one I have fun swinging this sword at."

She laughs. At none other than herself.

However, the blade she holds in her hand does not tremble in the slightest. Its tip remains firmly between my eyes, latched onto my life, refusing to let go.

I misjudged her. I just assumed she was a performer who speaks with actions rather than words. This conversation is completely off-script. She's obviously ad-libbing all of it. Is she going for a monologue? Venting her frustrations? Having a discussion? In any case, this is pointless. There's no drama in this.

"I hate to admit it, but you're fighting your own battle. It can't be easy, being nobody's friend or foe—Not having anyone to rely on. You didn't choose your path, so why accept it?"

Seems like she thinks of my state of being as an "eternal curse". She's biased, of course. But, I can't completely deny it, either. For starters, I myself don't even have the words to accurately describe the chaos that resides within me. Because I've forgotten every last one of them. Feelings and memories. Forgetting is one of the few virtues I have. In other words, that "curse" is what makes me who I am, I guess.

"Don't tell me I'm the only one who can save you?"

No, you're not gonna save me. Man, why did it have to be you?

Win or lose, there's nothing in it for me. Only self-containment. Nothing but myself, beyond the entangled cause and effect. I can see the conclusion. No creative freedom, no room for interpretation. A tale of self-importance to the end. What value could something like that hold?

"My blade can't touch folks who don't doubt themselves. But you—You've rejected yourself entirely, but your reason for being holds firm. Something keeps you tethered. But what? How can you possibly win? What do you hold in your heart? Atonement, salvation, ruin, hope, desire, equilibrium. You're prepared for all of it?"

I don't mind. I forgot about my resolve in two seconds, though. I'm honestly fine with anything, or nothing at all. Whatever she sees and feels it to be. 'Cause I'm not the one who chooses. It's whoever's inside me.

"I don't get it. That's a hell of a way to find out how weak you are."

And then there's her.

She's not looking at me, she's staring deep into my very being. By doing so, she brings me, and more importantly, herself, into sharp relief. Like a mirror without light. I thought I'd abandoned myself somewhere along the way. But there I am, standing right before my eyes. Along with the fear I'd given up on ever feeling again.

Something like this is necessity, not drama. Just a sad excuse for a one-man show. I'm sure we'll never stand on the same stage again. This must be our cause and effect.

But, even if that's the case―

"I've never seen an eye like that before."

"That's 'cause I've never seen one like you before."

―the old me must've had the freedom of choice, too.

Foreshadowing

Pink lock

Blue lock x reader (Fem!manager)

Masterlist

You, once again, hadn't been able to sleep that night. Tossing and turning as your mind ran in circles, until you too walked in circles around the blue lock facility.

'and what would you do without your head?'

'and for that... I am sorry'

Felena was right... What would you do without your head? Not that it mattered anyway... Your head didn't believe in your team. Your thoughts rolled and bounced off the walls of your mind. You groaned, running your fingers over your scalp. You couldn't manage a team if they didn't believe in themselves! What were you thinking!? Plus... In the end only one can win right?.... So in the end the team that you work so hard to build is going to have to rip itself apart. You weren't watching where you were going, not paying attention to a thing when you suddenly bumped into someone.... Or by the looks of it. Someone's.

"Whoa, you alright?" Someone asked, another voice just groaned tiredly. You looked up, faced with a purple eyes that shifted from you, to the snow haired boy that was on his back. You might have said something... But choose not to be in favor of your confusion.

"Umm did he get hurt?" You asked after a few moments.

"Nope, He's just hungry so I am bringing him to the cafeteria."

"Too tired to walk,,," the snow haired one mumbled before the noises of a video game continued. The purple haired boy rolling his eyes before smiling to you.

"Hi, my names Reo Mikage. And he's Nagi. I take it your one of the managers for another team?"

"Oh! Y/n L/n! And yeah.." you nodded your head, smiling back.

"Shame we're not gonna see you again" Nagi chimed in. Clearly hinting that you and your team would not make it through. "But,. If we do, we'll win anyway" Reo didn't respond to either of you, just shut up.. silently agreeing with Nagi.

"....mm." your eyes narrowed, you couldn't think of a witty response. "Well, I sincerely doubt you. But alright." You glared but turned on your heel. No more reason to talk then.

( Half an hour time skip brought to you by Chigiris hair care and Imamuras skin care routines)

You had been wanting to go down the path of connecting with Chigiri again and you had seen him go to the viewing room.. so after a while you tried to get there. When the door slide open you saw Isagi and they looked like they were having a moment, so immediately before they could look behind themselves you pinned yourself to the wall. The door closing.

'close call' you breathed out, as you scampered away. Guess that path is no go. The excitement... And suspicion of the prior events that day stopped you from going to sleep. It was kinda egsahusting... Always thinking. You had returned back to the room and grabbed the clipboard you were given on the first day... You hadn't filled anything in.

You were sitting in the cafeteria.. middle of the night. Slowly writing down notes. From the corner of your eye you spotted a tall figure walking in, who then sat in front of you but said nothing.

"Kuon, what are you doing up this late? You have a game in like... 12 hours or something?" You deadpanned. Sure you should also be resting, but you also weren't going to be playing a game.

"I could ask you the same thing" he replied. Well played Koun... Well played.

"Kuon..... Why,... Mm. Why did you apologize?" You had to pause, the words getting caught in your throat for a second. Kuon straightened before clearing his throat.

"Well.. no one can promise we ALL move forward.. so atleast for the players.. if we score enough goals one of us can move forward.. but for you girls.. it's just over."

"Well it's over for all the other players as well."

"But Atleast we have a chance to move forward even if we lose." Again, well played Kuon. They still always held hope, but you... You were screwed if they decided to give up that hope.

"I suppose.. but... Don't say things like that eck wait no scratch that." Those words were a little to pick me for your liking. Now that didn't mean they actually were, they just brought up the memories of the girls who would stand in the middle of fights and say that, "no... Keep it. I guess, what I mean is...even if one member of the team is losing hope, then it's like losing a finger. You can still function! It's just harder." You shrugged hoping you made sense. He just nodded, not verbally confirming anything.

Kuon reached forward and spun your clipboard around so he could read it. "Keeping track of our favorite people to pass top?" He lifted his gaze back to you.

"Well yeah,.. it helps the team out as a whole. Then I can try to pair you guys up with different people so you can also feel confident in passing to others."

"Smart...." Kuon sighed as he got up, running a hand over his hair. "Y/n.... I hope you make it through." And then he left you there... Again leaving you lost.

'hope? Hope. Hope. Hope. Hope. hope' that word replayed in your head until you finally fell asleep... Hope. A word you had been counting on, a word you trusted. But now it was simply.... Confusing.

(Time skip brought to you by Igarashi sleeping)

"Alrighty! That should wrap up practice for today! Good job guys!" You smiled as you offered a thumbs up, the boys smiling at your praise. Although you were well rested now.. the words of Kuon still haunted you.

"Hello there Diamonds in the rough." Ego appeared on the big screen, all eyes on him. And God.,, what he was eating looked amazing... "Yup.. sauce and mayo make the perfect combo" way to rub it bud.. way to rub it in. "So.. the sixth round just finished. Here are the results and the table." Suddenly. A table appeared. You quickly scanned for your team. Feeling the anxiety build up as you saw your rank... 4th.

"If we don't win against team w we're so fucked," rei piped up from behind you, you nodded, hand tightening around the hem of your shirt. You were so so screwed.

"Here's the spice, your player rankings are being adjusted by your achievements and play so far. Managers, yours are being based on how connected you are with the team throughout the day." Her spoke through his noodle, waving the chopsticks. "As strickers , you must prove your worth with goals" you heard the chime of rankings changing. Still... 72nd. Of course, nothing changed.

"76th!? What the hell!?' Fumiko shouted, glaring at Ego who just sluppered up more noodles.

"Don't get mad at me, you barley talk to the team. Anyway, the more valuable your goals the higher your ranking. It's you.,, Isagi Yoichi" ego continued, you looked to Isagi who was sitting on the side lines drinking water, gasping at his number. As the boys gasped you smiled. Valuable goals.. he found a goal no one else could see. That made him, the biggest diamond here. "Managers. As you know, the first thing to bring a stiker is to find the weapon, but to succeed as a striker, you must polish it and improve it. Make it stand out. Can anyone make any examples?" It was clear he was speaking to you four.

"Lionel Messi. Unique and graceful speed dribbling, like ba.., Ba something over there." Fumiko waved over in Bachira direction,

"Bachira," you said for her.

"Yeah whatever, point is. It's so fast and unique it makes him a top player." She waved her hand, dismissing you.

Ego set down his bowl as he nodded."each player has a different weapon. So naturally, you each have a different way to polish it. How are you going to turn that zero into a one? Then multiply that one into ten? Find your one of a kind play." He paused. Almost as though it was over. "I am sure it has now become know that Team Z, has one to many managers. This is due to funding issues. Someone's parents invested in the program, which in turn got their daughter in, shame she was kicked on the first day. That being said, there is no longer room for the fourth manger. From now Until the next game, managers. You will be taking a exam that is built around media presents of the team. No matter how good a player is, if one rumor builds up too much, it could be fatal to their career." And then he logged off the screen showing the count down between now and the next game with team w.

"... Well fuck." You said, the boys looking to you, which, have you a giant ego boost. You were so connected with them, that they all looked to you before the others. Fumiko groaned and Keiko and Rei held onto each other. "I suppose I better get to that exam then..." You said, slowly walking out. Signs pointed you to the 'exam room'.really it was just a locked room with computers.

(Time skip brought to you by Nagi snoring.)

'Raichi Jingo has said something inappropriate and fans are upset. Write his apology statement:' it appeared that the statement didn't want Raichi to actually be sorry, well who did in money making, you of course had to apologize for him. You rubbed your eyes as you typed,, you would have to do this every time one of the team got into this situation,,, holy fucking shit. You thought you had hell figured out, until this was introduced, atleast it was the last question., and it was 11 p.m.... god your sleep schedule was so screwed, almost as screwed as you would be if you didnt beat team w! Haha hardy har har.., help us lord. You sighed, submitting it as you got up and stumbled out, for the first time in nights. You had no problem falling asleep.

butt let's not celebrate just yet-- it's still "everyone hates amerie" up in this joint, smellas

may as well... shot them. huh. well. pop off, i suppose... (amerie asserts her right to bear arms-- truly patriotic coming from an aussie!)

...touché coming from the (still) most hated student in heartly who only adds salt to the wound by... using the pink 'ildo from s1 as a mic... chat... she's lost it.

(unrelated but in the background-- MISSY AND MALAKAI!!! they were building up a relationship between them in s1 and how she and her brother (i think?

when i said i wanted more missy i didnt expect this

spider seems to be into tho maybe what ??1/1/111.1/?!??!/1/1/1

missy x spider was NOT on my bingo card

WHEN MISSY SAID SHE WAS STARTING TO LIKE WHITE BOYS I DIDNT THINK SHE MEANT THIS.

hey. if they're both happy with their...chicken dumbells, i am too.

amerie dont be alarmed but there's a white boy to your right

in other news this love triangle scares the diarrhea out of me

look at them. they're the perfect couple (malakai x amerie 4life) and rowan is--

well he's a nice boy but cmon

LOOK AGAIN IM DOWN FOR THEM TO BE HAPPY BUTT when it comes in between THE BEST SHIP IN THE SHOW (looks at amerie x spider shippers with affectionate disdain) i draw the line.

but who knows? rowan seems nice enough, and if he's able to make amerie happy, let them have each other! <3

also knowing malakai's track record i wouldn't put it past him to get freaky with rowan too (threesome attempt 2??? actually no wait thats a horrible idea NEVERMIND [gets s1 ep4 flashbacks])

also also "classic love triangle" scene gives major "erm...well this is akward!" vibes from ams (we stan cringey amerie in this household tho)

and well. shart. max limit of 30 photos. oh well-- ill make a second part! tune in for the update heartbreak highers :3

[ipatrichor]

my thoughts on dead boy detectives after watching episode one

okay first of all i gotta say i love the vibe. two ghosty boys running around solving cases and helping trapped spirits move on? that's so fun i love them

tbh. i don't know whats going on btween these two if it's platonic romantic whatever and i don't think any distinction can be drawn that matters. maybe that's the aro in me but they are each other's most important person and who cares about the semantics!!!

charles trying to get edwin to learn self-defense is very sweet. however i will say girl how has this not happened sooner. you literally just got chased through london by a knife ghost and your next case involves fistfighting a possessed psychic Please learn to throw a punch minimum. i would say learning how to fall properly is more important but it's not like they can get more dead. so.

unless they go to the afterlife or something i guess? interesting stakes, especially with the lady from the end of the episode who's looking for them. also the scene hanging outside the window was very sweet, with edwin promising he won't let them get separated. at this point i think it could go either way whether that was to establish their dynamic or to foreshadow, so we'll have to wait and see if the promise holds, but either way very touching moment

crystal my girl crystal!!!! i love her so much holy shit she is so messy!!!! i love love love her getting angry about her shitty situation bc. yeah! that's scary as hell having amnesia bc ur literal demon ex stole your memories and she's got no one except the boys, one of whom very openly doesn't want her around. that's really rough and i Love that she blows up at them about it in a moment of extreme stress instead of being unnaturally chill about an objectively awful situation like many mystical characters (especially when they're women)

anyway i think crystal should get a knife and stabbing privileges. she'd for sure misuse them but i think it'd be funny

edwin is so real for the 70 years in hell thing. girl if i was in the torture dimension for SEVEN DECADES i'd be awful to everyone, it's actually impressive that he restrains himself to being a petty bitch. good for him tbh, i think he's earned the snark. don't get me wrong it's unhelpful and sometimes downright mean, but it's also funny so i'm letting it slide

the witch... esther i think? god what do i say about her. ok im first gonna start with this: she's fucking chilling, it's so scary watching her body the group with ease until charles basically hail-marys and possesses her AND EVEN THEN it's for less than a minute til she forces him out!! it feels like encountering the bbeg when your party is level five- you know you can't touch her and have to play the situation carefully so she doesn't just end you, and the win is getting away with a different objective (here saving the kid) while knowing she's gonna be actively hostile to you now. scary stuff!

idk if this is the popular opinion or not but i just don't find her hot 😭 like yeah she's serving incredible cunt, but her awful pta mom energy keeps that from being attractive. idk if it's the mommy issues but i would feel unsafe and constantly judged in her presence which is usually a dealbreaker for me finding people hot. sorry ma'am i deeply respect your vibe and the cunt you serve i would just avoid u like hell if u were real

the whole snake in a bone dimension in her cupboard is pretty cool though, and i love that her blowing smoke in people's faces isn't just a power play but a paralytic that's So clever

any other thoughts.... the girl with long hair is pretty, and that interaction with crystal has me wondering if the show got cancelled for lesbianism. i feel like maybe not? idk, if it was the start of a relationship that seems weirdly at odds with the tone of the rest of the show, so im leaning more towards crystal was picking up a weird psychic vibe from her that might be important later. who knows though!! i'll just have to find out haha

anyway i got sucked back into reading a novel but i should get caught up on that sometime today and then it's on to episode two, lol. very interested to find out what's up with the cat's vague ominous warning and what esther's gonna do when she finds out they rescued the kid she kidnapped

Luck Runs Out

"You've heard the legends, this proves they're true!"

"I'm gonna climb to the top and ask 'em for a hand."

"You could be caught off guard and lose your life."

"Don't forget how dangerous the gods are!"

"Have faith, friend, we've come this far!"

"How much longer 'til your luck runs out?"

"You rely on wit, and people die on it."

"I still believe in goodness. I still believe that we could be kind."

"What will we do when it tears us apart?"

"Where is this coming from?"

"I just don't wanna see another life end."

"And suddenly, you doubt that I could figure this out?"

Ruthlessness

"I've been so gracious and yet, you hurt this son of mine!"

"I'm left without a choice and without a doubt."

"Guess the pack of wolves is swimming with the shark now!"

"I've gotta make you bleed, I need to see you drown."

"But before you go, I need to make you learn how ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves."

"You are the worst kind of good 'cause you're not even great."

"A Greek who reeks of false righteousness, that's what I hate!"

"You fight to save lives, but won't kill and don't get the job done."

"I mean, you totally could've avoided all this had you just killed my son. But no!"

"You are far too nice, mercy has a price!"

"You reveal your name, then you let him live?"

"Unlike you I've got no mercy left to give."

"Today you die. Unless, of course, you apologize."

"We took no pleasure in his pain, we only wanted to escape."

"The line between naïveté and hopefulness is almost invisible."

"Close your heart, the world is dark, and ruthlessness is mercy."

"Forty-three left under your command."

"I am your darkest moment, the monster that always draws near."

"Any last words?"

"Remember me."

[luke-hughes43]

hughes little sister and went second in the 2023 draft and maybe just her brothers realizing how much their sister has grown up and it’s not the little girl who use to hide in their beds when she was scared or would cling to them when they had to leave

oh yes!

she ends up at the ducks with trev (which scares luke and quinn and excites jack) and the boys are so happy for her.

after her draft party, the 4 of them end up in the same room, all semi drunk/tipsy, and cuddling on the same bed like they did when they were kids.

they all just have one big pile of each other and just reminise on their childhood and how much fun they had together. jack says, "remember when quinn ripped off my braces and y/n, you clung to me for days and refused to talk to quinn for like a week."

"i remember. and i remember me and luke always being paired up during mini sticks so you two could beat on us. it's why i became a forward. to be better than you jacky."

"how'd that work out 2nd overall?"

"pretty damn good. we all know it won't matter until games start. as long as my rookie year goes better than yours, i'll call it a win." y/n snides back at jack jokingly.

quinn and luke laugh while jack pouts. luke pulls y/n as close to him as he can. those two were inseperable growing up, being the youngest. luke says quietly to no one in particular, "this is the last time we're gonna be in the same room until next summer."

"no it's not. we have the rest of this trip and the rest of the summer."

"y/n you have dev camp in a few weeks so you'll be gone. i'm going to see dylan and a few of the guys for a few days beofre dad starts training. jack is going to new york to see trev. and quinn is going god knows where. we all have plans for the rest of the summer. and you guys won't be in new york/new jeresy at the same time, ever."

"i guess your right luke." quinn says.

there's a silence over the room that gets broken by y/n, "i'm gonna miss you guys. i wouldn't have gotten where i am and i don't know what i'm gonna do without you guys."

"we're gonna miss you too y/n."

"at least you'll have trevor in anahiema and quinn isn't that fair away and you'll see him 4 times next season." jack says trying to look at the bright side. y/n scoffs, "because having trevor around is supposed to make me feel better? i'll end up babysitting him."

"yea she has a point jacky." quinns says. luke stays quiet not wanting to think about losing his baby sister to the nhl. jack and quinn are the first pass out but y/n and luke can tell that they are both still awake. y/n can also tell that luke is lost in his thoughts.

"penny for your thoughts lukey?"

"i'm not ready to lose you yet. not to the likes of zegras anyways."

"you're not gonna lose me. especially not to trevor. luke, i'm your little sister, i'm always gonna be the biggest thorn in your side and your best friend at the same time. besides, who else am i gonna go to when there's a big spider in my room or who's bed am i gonna hide in during thunderstorms or who's gonna be my first call after my first game? it's gonna be you moose, my big brother who basically my twin. i'm not going anywhere."

"you're going to anahiem."

"i know. but this was the dream luke. we're finally living it. this is a good thing, i know it's sad in the moment but this is a good thing. we're finally living the dream that we've talked about for i don't know how long. we're always gonna have each other and we'll never really lose each other either."

"i know. i just hard seeing you grow up."

"i know. have i told you what number i want in anahiem?"

"no." he shakes shaking his head. she responds softly, "43."

"really?"

"yea. after my big brother, twin flame, and partner in crime."

there's no words said after that. both of them letting their exhaustion consume them. later on that night/early the next morning, ellen pops her head in to check on her kids and see them all cuddling in one bed like the used to when they were little. she snaps a few pictures before leaving them be.

she shows the pictures to jim and gishes about how her babies are all grown up now. jim just says softly, "we did good honey. we did real good. the rest is up to them."

once all the kids wake up, they decide to spend that day as a family and deal with their friends and thte media later. today was about the family and they loved the idea of that.

#98 "Would you like a hug?"

#99 "You're safe with me. Nothing is going to hurt you."

#100 "You don't deserve to be hurt like that. Ever."

#101 "I'm sorry you had to go through that. Even more so that you had to go through it alone."

#102 "It's over. You're safe now. I've got you."

#103 "Open your eyes, love."

#104 "Is there anything I can do to make it better?"

#105 "Close your eyes and just listen to the sound of my heart. It beats with such love for you."

#106 "Look at me, love. I am real. Hold my hand, rest your head on my chest and listen to my heart. That's proof your dream was not real."

#107 "You can sleep here with me if you want."

#108 "No! I didn't mean it like that! I just miss your presence beside me."

#109 "I don't think I have anyone anymore."

#110 "You are what is most important right now."

#111 "You are not going to do this alone."

#112 "Tonight is about you. Make it up to me some other time."

#113 "You said you needed a distraction, so here I am."

#114 "I've got nowhere else to be."

#115 "You didn't force me. I wanted to come with you, remember?"

#116 "Hey, we're both failures then. Let's redeem each other."

#117 "You look breathtakingly beautiful."

#118 "Death doesn't scare me as much as what I had to endure today."

#119 "I feared-I-I mean, WE feared we were going to lose you."

#120 "If you hadn't have tried to rescue me, we wouldn't be in this situation now, would we?"

#121 "Where did you learn to fight like that?"

#122 "I'm not feeling strong or brave right now, but I will fight for you."

#123 "Don't you dare die on me. I want us to grow old together."

#124 "How did you two become friends?"

#125 "This is not what I envisioned when I said I wanted to cure my boredom."

#126 "Please don't leave me. I love you."

#127 "Is he always this rude?"

#128 "Why can't the world calm down for just one second."

#129 "Just play along. Please."

#130 "They can hear us."

#131 "When I let go, run for your life."

#132 "Play along or they might take us both."

#133 "I know it hurts, but you have to let me take a look."

#134 "Can you even move?"

#135 "Sit down before you make it worse!"

#136 "Hang tight, we're almost there."

#137 "Why are you limping?"

#138 "I've never heard anything scarier than the way you screamed."

#139 "That's bound to scar."

#140 "Don't force yourself. It's obvious that you are in pain and need healing."

#141 "That's not normal, it should be getting better by now."

#142 "Stay still! Oh why don't you ever listen to me?"

#143 "Why...Why are you holding your stomach like that? Are you bleeding?!"

#144 "It was an accident! I am so sorry!"

#145 "I-Is that...my blood?!"

#146 "Shh, stay calm. I'm going to get you some help."

#147 "I-I don't want to die. I'm not ready."

#148 "It was the most gruesome thing I've ever seen."

#149 "I wish I could forget all that blood."

#150 "I want to help, but I don't know how."

#151 "You're gonna make it, don't worry."

#152 "Your stomach isn't going to fall out. Just keep holding pressure on it. Like this."

#153 "Aww! You guys are in love!"

#154 "I feel like ripping someone's throat out today."

#155 "Oh my, you are so in love with him/her."

#156 "Dance with me."

#157 "I don't want love. I want to be loved. There's a difference."

#158 "You were meant for me, and I was destined for you. It's why we found each other."

#159 "Excuse me, don't you have someone else to bother today?"

#160 "Did you know you blush a lot?"

#161 "Wait, did I do that?"

#162 "You deserve so much better than this. If you were mine, I would...ah, forget it."

#163 "We're not a couple. No, definitely not a couple."

#164 "Do you believe in love at first sight?"

#165 "Where is Y/M? I thought they were with you?"

#166 "I...I'm sorry. I promise I won't do it again."

#167 "I am so proud of you!"

#168 "You didn't ruin it. You made it better simply by being there."

#169 "I'll be here for you, no matter what. Every step of the way, I'll be there."

#170 "Next time you feel defeated like this, tell me. I might not always be able to help, but I will be there to talk and to listen.

#171 "I don't know how to love you, but I'm willing to learn."

#172 "Whenever I start to get close to someone, stuff like this happens. I'm cursed, and you should leave me too. If you stay...you'll get hurt too."

#173 "I'm sorry I'm not who you thought I was."

#174 "I wasn't planning on asking you, but it appeared to me that life is short. Will you marry me?"

#175 "Just a little longer. Please."

#176 "I love you, but please stop whatever it is that you are doing."

#177 "Get away from me. No--not you. You stay."

#178 "I have been subtle at hinting that I want your attention all day, and you haven't noticed. Now I'm pissed."

#179 "Listen, I enjoy this hug and all, but can you stop."

#180 "You owe me a kiss."

#181 "I don't care what they say! I want to be with you!"

#182 "Can I kiss you?"

#183 "I will never stop fighting for you. I'm not giving up on us."

#184 "I need to test out a theory."

#185 "I'm not sure what to do anymore, but it is your baby..."

#186 "Why are you blaming me? We are both at fault! It's not the baby's fault!"

#187 "I'm going to stay in a place where my baby isn't wanted."

#188 "You should marry me."

#189 "Think about it. The sound of little footsteps in our home."

#190 "Did you hear? I'm going to be a dad!"

#191 "Don't bleed on my floor."

#192 "We've waited a long time for this."

#193 "I can't hide this any longer. I think we need to tell people."

#194 "Stop that! I'm ticklish!"

#195 "I'm not sure I'll be able to be a mother."

#196 "I will leave now, or I'm going to say things I will regret later."

#197 "Please, don't make this worse than it already is."

#198 "Thank you for the offer, but I'm over you."

#199 "Wait...Is this a date?"

#200 "Rumor has it, I make you nervous."

#201 "Please hold my hand, I can't do this without you."

#202 "One more push and you'll be a mom."

#203 "I am not accepting a pity proposal."

#204 "The kid better be cute. I'm super tired and feel like shit."

#205 "I don't want you to stay with me just because of the baby."

Part 2

[energetically-exhausted]

hello, everyone! sometime this year, i started writing this silly idea. basically, since i can remember, i've been such a huge fan of time loops in film. so, i wanted to write some slice-of-life Sides stuck in a time loop. not exactly sure what their statuses are at this point, honestly. maybe some ambiguous LAMP. possibly won't focus too much on labels, and more on their relationships with each other if i do write more of this.

this really is just a test run. if any folks want a continuation, i might make this have multiple chapters! who knows? uh- enjoy!

Time Loop AU

WARNINGS: MILD DESCRIPTIONS OF BLOOD, STRONG LANGUAGE

‐SOME LOOPS ARE FUN!‐

Today, they were playing charades in the living room.

"Uh- Giraffe!"

"No, Patton, you're not-" Roman laughed. "You're not the one guessing."

"Thanks for the help, though, padre," Virgil added. "Hey, Logan, is it a giraffe?"

The one reaching his arms up stiffly to impersonate the word on his piece of paper sighed out of relief. "God, finally. But does that count?" He pulled out his phone to make an internet search. "What were the rules, again?"

"Nah, we can let it slide. Right, Patton?" Virgil lightheartedly jeered, nudging him with his elbow.

Patton snorted. "I guess that's fair."

Roman gasped. "Patton, no! Now they're gaining on us! How could you do this to me? The betrayal! Oh, Patton, the agony!" He laid across Patton's lap as his legs dangled off the end of the sofa.

"Oh, calm down, Princey. You always win," Virgil huffed.

"But this is charades! A game in which one performs! A talented, esteemed actor such as myself shan't lose even one round, or I'll be stripped of my honor and dignity!" Roman raised an arm to his forehead in a distraught manner.

Logan slid his glasses up the bridge of his nose. "Aha! Apparently, Patton giving the answer to Virgil is- uh- 'fair game', as this website put it."

"Awesome."

"NOOOOOOOOOO!"

"Okie dokes! Thanks, Logan!"

"I believe that makes the score seven to six, with 'Team Pizza' in the lead," Logan declared.

Even though the princely figure was still brooding, Roman and Patton high-fived each other.

"Come on, Logan. We gotta lock in. Team Lo Mein has to win. I don't think I can stomach another pizza night this month."

The four played three more rounds and resulted in a tie. It was nearly six, and they were getting hungry. There was time for one more round.

"I believe it is my turn. Best of luck, dear Patton, for if we lose," Roman narrowed his eyes with a threatening smile, "everyone will live to rue this day." He drew his paper from a "borrowed" bowler hat, and smiled. He was ready. Three, two, one... action—

The group jumped as Patton's phone rang. Roman sighed. "Who in the whole new world would be so rude as to interrupt my performance?"

"Some person called, 'Potential Spam'. Funny name," Patton claimed after picking up his phone. "Do we know a 'Potential'? Do I answer?"

"No, Pat-"

A voice came through. "Hello—"

"Whoops. Butterfingers, am I right?" Patton laughed.

The other three sighed.

Virgil grew anxious. "Patton, just hang up."

"Alright!"

The voice became louder. "This is—"

"See- Patton- What you've done there is you've pressed the 'speaker' button," Logan said with a slightly annoyed tone. "Perhaps you could just hand the phone to one of us—"

"—you are in grave danger. You must listen."

"Uh- Sorry, kiddo. I missed that," Patton apologized to the phone, snatching it away from the several hands trying to take it.

"If you are receiving this message, it means you have thirty seconds to evacuate before—"

Patton hung up with a sour expression. "I hate those manipulative attention tactics."

The others screamed and yelled at him in horror.

"Shit shit shit shit."

"Patton, why would you- Oh my God-"

"We're gonna die we're gonna die we're gonna die we're-"

"Calm down, everyone! It was just some oddly named stranger trying to get a reaction! We'll be just fine—"

An extremely high pitch shot through everyone's ears, knocking them out. They all hit the floor, unconcious.

Today, they were playing charades in the living room.

"Wait, what happened? Ugh, my ears are ringing."

"Virgil, could you shut up? My mind is doing somersaults," Roman complained.

"What time is it?" Patton whined.

Logan shakily got his phone out of his pocket. "It's—" He squinted his eyes in confusion. "Here, Patton. I can't be reading it correctly. Most likely due to this disorientation I'm experiencing. It couldn't possibly still be five fifty-seven"

Patton reached out his arm and squinted too. "No, Logan, it— You read it right."

"Check the date, Pat. Maybe we slept 'till the next day?" Virgil groaned, pulling his hood over his head to avoid the seemingly blinding light in the living room.

"No, I don't think that's it, son. It's... still the sixth," Patton said, confused.

Roman grunted as he picked himself up and off the desperately-needed-to-be-vacuumed carpet. "Well, I'm not going to leave this game at a draw. Patton, I need you at your most focused right now."

"Bud, I'm seein' double right now, and I think we should find out what's going on-"

"No! We are finishing this game! The right way! I have to win this." He cleared his throat and began to pose before noticing the others staring at him in horror. He sniffed, wiping his nose with his sleeve. Then he saw it. The red. He never got nosebleeds. How did this happen? "What's going on?"

"Roman, are you alright?" Logan stumbled toward him in case he was in need of support.

Patton raced to get tissues.

Virgil remained wide-eyed and shaken, sitting on the floor. "Roman, that's- I'm freakin' the fuck out, man- That's a lot of blood." He felt the tremor in his hands that he'd had since he was little. He didn't handle these kinds of situations well. "These kinds"? As if there was a way to categorize what the actual fuck was happening.

Patton came back with the tissues and a clean shirt for Roman, which he was thankful for. The blood had gotten on his collar before Logan had made the wise decision of tilting his head back to stop the bleed-out. "Do you think this was 'cause of...?" Patton stopped. He didn't really know what had happened, but he was making vague connections.

"Whatever knocked us out?" Logan suggested, taking Roman's bloody shirt and sitting it down on the coffee table. He held his forehead in his hands, groaning from the aching sensation. "It'd make sense."

"What did knock us out?" Roman questioned, holding the tissues to his nose after changing into the not-bloody shirt.

"How the hell would we know, Roman-? Sorry. I'm just- more stressed than usual, and my 'usual' is pretty fuckin' stressed." Virgil tugged on his sleeves, occupying his hands with something other than shaking.

"The best way to solve this is to recount the events that occurred before this happened," Logan supplied. "It could potentially help us remember."

"Well," Patton started, "today, we were arguing over what we wanted for dinner, and so-"

"We landed on a game of charades to decide for us," Roman added.

"It was a pretty close game, and the last person to go up was Roman," Virgil said.

Roman grumbled, "I didn't even get to start."

"Because Patton's phone went off," Logan answered.

"The phone! I got a weird call from someone named Potential! That was when it happ-"

The phone rang.

"Shit."

[big-faux-bro]

in that case, guess i have to please my glossy little pussy under my skirt in the passenger seat right next to him, my fingers getting all wet, gonna dry them off on brother's clothed thigh, we'll see if he really likes winning in the end 💞

Now, see, here's my question. Are you the anon who sent that originally, or just one who pays attention?

But if you're going to make a mess of my clothes, well, there may be repercussions.

Kylian Mbappé Imagine | one

Author's note: So far I had only shared my Mbappé imagines on Wattpad because that’s where I’ve been getting the requests, but since people are liking them so much, I thought about starting to share them here too 😊 Yesterday I posted some kind of masterlist with links to Wattpad, so some of you may have already read this, but I wanted to post it here for people who don’t have an account there, don’t want to open it, or just want to have these imagines archived somewhere. Hope you like it, and thank you for reading! 💜

Little summary: you are dating Kylian and PSG is playing against Monaco, your ex's team. He didn't treat you well, and now you fear something bad may happen during the game.

Masterlist

"How was training?"

"Great. I'm ready to kick some Monaco asses tomorrow" Kylian says, sitting on the sofa next to me.

"Monaco..."

"Wait, no, sorry. It was joke. I'm sorry" he says, hugging me. "I had forgotten about him."

"Lucky you" I chuckle.

"It's gonna be ok, you'll see. That jerk won't dare hurting me."

"You don't know that, Kylian. I still haven't forgotten about the texts he sent me when he found out that we were dating. They were fucking scary."

"You should have blocked him the moment you broke up. But hey, they were just words. The words of a coward. Only cowards will treat the person they love the way he treated you" he says, caressing my cheek.

"But what if..."

"I'll be fine. We'll be fine. You are staying home, right?"

"Yeah... I'm too nervous already. If I go to the stadium, it will only get worse."

"And Alex is coming to stay with you, right?"

"Yes."

"Good, I don't want you to be alone. But I'll behave and nothing will happen, I promise. Beyond me scoring a hat trick and dedicate you each goal" he says with a cheeky smile.

"Thank you" I reply, kissing his cheek.

It's gonna be ok. It'll be an easy game, PSG will win, Kylian will score, and everything will be ok. It will be.

━━━━━━❃━━━━━━

Minute 70. PSG wins 2-0, both goals by Kylian. So far the game has been a quiet one and no one has tried to break anyone's legs. But that's just because my ex isn't on the pitch. Yet.

"Oh God" I say when I see that Monaco is doing a substitution after one of their defenders got injured. "He's coming in."

"Maybe they'll put in a striker, they still have time to score a couple of goals" Alex says.

"They won't risk it. He is coming in."

And the moment those words leave my mouth, I see him on tv.

"Kylian said he'll behave, right? He'll be fine, don't worry" Alex says, giving my hand an encouraging squeeze.

"That's what he said, yes" I sigh, my heart already beating too fast.

Minute 88. They haven't crossed paths, my ex busy defending Neymar. But then...

"Penalty!" Alex screams. "That's a freaking penalty! Why do they have to go check the var?"

"Maybe because Neymar is the one who went down?" I chuckle.

"Rude" Alex says.

"It is a penalty for PSG. Kylian Mbappé wants his hat trick" the commentator says.

While he gets ready for it, he notices there is something missing. The most important thing, the ball. And who has it? Yes, you guessed it. My ex.

When he gives Kylian the ball, he says something to his ear, making him laugh at first. But then, he gets really serious, his eyes focused on the goalkeeper.

"That look... Yikes" Alex says. "I would not like to be the goalkeeper right now, he is going to destroy him."

"Urgh, I can't watch" I say, covering my face with my hands.

"Mbappé is ready. He takes a few steps back, a deep breath... And goal! It is a hat trick for Kylian Mbappé against Monaco!" the commentator says.

"He is scored! Look!" Alex says, grabbing me by the arm and shaking me until I'm looking at the screen again. "Awww, he did your thing again. Cute."

"Cute would be the game ending now" I say, trying not to smile but failing. He said he would score three goals and dedicate them to me, and he did.

As he walks back to the centre of the pitch, he crosses paths with my ex again. They start talking, but the chat quikcly turns into an argument, getting closer and closer to each other until they are forehead against forehead like footballers always do. Why? Who knows.

"Oh my God" Alex says as players from PSG and Monaco get around them and try to break them apart. When they finally are able to, Neymar is talking to Kylian, telling him something like "think, use your head", while he says my name and points at my ex.

"I can't watch this anymore" I say, getting up from the sofa and moving to the kitchen.

"It is over" Alex says, joining me a few minutes later.

"Finally" I sigh.

"Do you want me to stay until he is back?"

"Nah, don't worry. I'll probably eat something and go to bed. I've been so tense that I feel as if I've been playing myself."

"Ok" Alex says. "But don't be too harsh on him. He was provoked, too excited after the hat trick, and when you mix it all..."

"He had promised me to do nothing, tho."

"I know, but... Just don't be too harsh, ok?"

"I'll try."

"Will you call me tomorrow?"

"I will. Goodnight, Alex."

"Goodnight."

━━━━━━❃━━━━━━

"Hey" Kylian says, walking into our room.

"Hi."

"Did you watch the game?" he says, getting in bed next to me and hugging me from behind.

"I did."

"I scored a hat trick like I told you I would."

"I know."

"Are you mad?" he asks after a few seconds in silence.

"No."

"Then why are you being so cold? Why aren't you looking at me?"

"Maybe because you also promised that nothing would happen with my ex, yet it did?"

"He started it, I didn't."

"I don't care who started. It still happened."

"I'm sorry" he says, hugging me a bit tighter.

"I hate this. I wish we wouldn't have to see him ever again."

"Well, that may actually happen."

"What?" I say, finally moving to look at him.

"This was our last game of the season against Monaco, we won't be playing against them anymore. But a very reliable source told me that he is leaving."

"Leaving? Where?"

"Turkey" Kylian snorts. "Sorry, sorry. But he isn't playing that much here, and a Turkish team was the only one interested on him."

"And you won't have to play against him anymore?"

"Nope. The team he seems to have signed with doesn't play the Champions League. It is over."

"For real?"

"For real" he says, caressing my cheek. "That jerk won't be bothering us anymore, and now we'll be able to focus on being happy together."

"Finally" I say, letting out a big sigh.

"Will you forgive for the fight, then?"

"It depends."

"On what?"

"On if the kiss you are about to give me is the best kiss ever" I smirk.

"Lucky you, besides having a hat trick scorer as your boyfriend, he also happens to be a really good kisser. One of the best in France. In Europe. In the world!"

"Yeah, sure" I chuckle.

"Do you want me to show you?" he says with a mischievous smile.

"I'm looking forward to it" I giggle. "I love you, Kylian."

"I love you too" he says before kissing me and showing me that, indeed, he is one of the best kissers in France, Europe and the world.

Though if you ask me... He isn't just one of the best. He is the best.
