#woooooo exciting things in the works!!!!!

[fabbyf1]

Howdy, Besties 🫡

I hope everyone is doing well and staying hydrated!

I am taking a much needed vacation as of tomorrow morning until the end of the month. (I AM FREE AT LAST!!!!!) I probably won't write very much while I'm there.

BUT HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS:

I have a quick little Lestappen PWP in the works for you! I've finished writing it; it just needs to be edited. I think you are going to enjoy it. I think it will also make you scream... (in a good way), and I'm very excited to see your reaction. I'm a fucking meme if I've ever seen one. This will most likely be posted tomorrow night (Friday PST). Hopefully, this can hold you all over until I get back home 😈😂😎

I've started working on a longer plotty fic again! But it's going to be a different pairing this time around. I hope that's okay with you all. I know many of you are only here for Lestappen, and that's okay! I love Lestappen, and I'm not done writing for them by any means. I have lots of fic ideas and WIPS for them. They're my fav ship to write for. I have just owed @takenquicklys a Maxiel fic for a while now... 😂

I'll still be lurking around these streets while on vacation, bothering you all, and posting cursed content. I'm not planning on disappearing. I'm just not going to force myself to write (for once). If it happens, it happens, but I'm not planning on writing until I get home.

ANYWAY... my plotty Maxiel fic will probably take a few weeks to write, but in the meantime, here's a little snippet for you. I hope you'll enjoy it, even if you're only here for Lestappen! This fic is a little angstier than I normally write... but it will still have lots of Fabby Fluff.

Enjoy besties and have a great weekend!

When Daniel decided to leave Red Bull in 2018, Max was... confused. He wasn’t hurt, necessarily, but it was hard not to take it a little bit personally. Because nobody leaves Red Bull Racing to go to a mid-field team. 

It had to be at least a little bit personal. 

Their last season together got a little rough around the edges. After being teammates for so many years, they were bound to come together on track every now and then. It was nowhere near the battle of the silver arrows back in 2016, but every time they came together in 2018 seemed to be worse than the time before. 

They could usually move past it.

They would ignore each other for a day to cool off, and then they’d pretend like nothing ever happened.

It was good.

It was working.

But some incidents were harder to move past than others.

(Well done, Baku.) 

After Daniel left, things got better. They were able to just be friends again and not worry about being teammates. Max became the veteran of his team and saw new teammates come and go, and Daniel had great results for Renault. 

Everything was going great for both of them. 

But then McLaren happened. 

McLaren took a lot from both of them. 

For Daniel, it took away his pride. It took away his confidence. It turned this tall, cocky, king of the late-breaking man into a too-small, too-skinny, twitchy-on-the-break-pedal kind of guy. It was hard to watch at times. 

To make matters worse for him, everyone compared him to Lando. Which wasn’t fair because Lando had been with McLaren for years. Lando already knew how to get the most out of that shit-box of a car. Daniel still had to learn. 

For Max, it was hard to watch his best friend hit rock bottom. Especially because Max was having such a great year in comparison. He was leading the championship for the first time. He was winning every weekend, his race suit was always damp with champagne, and he was confident that he would become World Champion at the end of the year. 

2021 was the best and worst year of his life. 

He won the championship, but he lost his best friend. 

Fucking McLaren.

Yes it's a response to your last poll reblogged... I try to not care about kudos and comments but it's hard

AH

sorry nonny my reading comprehension rn is like -50% due to being distracted at all times by the show dropping tomorrow morning, but like, I think it's a matter of like, not necessarily not caring about kudos and comments and such because like, these are nice things to have! We are wired to like it when people go "I LIKE THIS!" about stuff that we make. Why would a person stop caring about that? That seems counter intuitive to me.

But more like, getting stuck on a toxic spiral of "I am creating this so someone will tell me that they like it" -> "I am sad because no one has told me they like it yet" is perhaps, not the greatest use of emotional bandwidth or time.

Also I've seen this happen and like, there comes a point in this spiral where even the biggest numbers imaginable will not fulfill a person who's stuck in this spiral. Think thousands of comments, four or five digit kudos counts, dozens of comments per chapter. None of it actually fulfilled them. They spent so much time obsessing over when to drop a chapter to get the maximum amount of "engagement" that it really sucked all the joy out of like, even getting comments at all. Or writing. Which sucked!

I'm a big proponent of hoarding those good feelings you have about your own work whenever you can, and not letting those good feelings be dictated by stuff you can't control, like other people reacting to it in some way, which is yes, easier said than done.

Overall, sending you a hug Nonny, because I think we all get this way sometimes.

Hi!! Could I request a Jason Voorhees X Reader, either before they have a romantic relationship or during that, reader being not from USA and goes back to visit their family in another country for a month?

Jason x reader who has to leave the country to visit family

writing some stuff before calling it a night woooooo... maybe ill work on some oneshots tomorrow for flufftober in the morning if i have the motivation notes: reader is gn, non specified country of origin for the reader asides that theyre not american cws: none

at first hes very much apprehensive at the idea of you leaving- much less for such a long period of time... to add onto that theres no way for the two of you to keep in touch while youre away

internally he wants to try to make you stay but theres also the deep fear that its going to make you leave forever, hes... a little stumped...

ultimately youre going to need to give him a lot of reassurance that youre going to come right back once youre back in the country, be ready to reassure him a lot... for multiple days

telling him about how things are back in your home country does a lot to make him feel more secure as well as build some excitement for your trip, on your behalf even if hes staying home

becomes tenser as the day you need to head out draws nearer

on the flipside hes waiting right at the door when your return comes closer, its almost like how dogs will wait by the door when they hear your car pull up- hes on alert and hes ready to greet you the second you come back

will melt if you bring him back a souvenir, it shows that you thought about him while you were away!

hes going to treasure it, will take the very best care of it

hooked on your words as you show him all the pictures you took while you were away; family members, some of the buildings over there, the food, casual things like that!

raven's tumblr wrapped 2024

As the year draws to a close, I want to take a moment to thank every single one of my followers, readers, and friends. Your kindness and support have meant the world to me and without you, I likely would have stayed on hiatus throughout the entire year. But when I returned in September, you welcomed me back with open arms and reminded me why I love writing and sharing my work.

You’ve all helped to reignite the writing spark in me, and for that, I’m endlessly grateful. I’m so excited to see what 2025 has in store for all of us. Thank you for being a part of my journey—you’ve made it so much brighter 💚

my acceptance speech (lol)

↳ This fic first made its debut a few years ago, but honestly? I was never quite happy with how rushed it felt. So this past August, I decided on a whim to open up this doc to do a complete overhaul. I hadn't wrote anything in nearly a year and starting fresh was too daunting so I dove into the comfort of this work. And let me just say, this baby really had her 2024 glow up with 2k additional words! I really think it all flows together so much better now. Also, dance AU's have a special place in my heart. I’ve always dreamed of being a ballet dancer (tragically, I lack the coordination for anything beyond an aggressive ass shake, but hey, a girl can dream lol). If you read the original version, I highly recommend giving this one another shot. It’s sharper, smoother, and has all the juicy bits that make enemies-to-lovers so good: the mutual hatred, the witty banter, the agonizingly denial of feelings, etc.

[proximasc0rner]

Okay it's not quite liveblogging but i found the left right game qcode podcast yesterday and wanted to share my thoughts (just finished the first 3 episodes)

OKAY SO!!! Somewhat mixed but still positive feelings i think! So far!!!

My thoughts (spoilers under cut):

It makes me sad that a good chunk of the narration was dropped in order for a more immersive listening experience, but i suppose that's just how it goes when you're trying to translate stories to different mediums

Speaking of immersion oh my GOD i had my first Apollo kinshift ever and it is SOLELY because of how good this podcast is at making you feel like you're there. Like it hit me the minute Apollo stepped out of his car talking about the Hitchhiker. I was shaking and had to take a break from listening until today 😭

Also speaking of immersion. The Ace death scene was unfortunately fucking PERFECT. It was EXACTLY as gruesome as it felt in the og version, and scary in the way that it makes you feel like time is slowing down as it happens and it was just unbearable the whole time listening and AAAAAAAAA (it was good).

I also REALLY liked the added touch of actually getting to hear the conversation between the Jubilation Recovery Service guys as they're capturing Ace and hanging him from the tow hook. Like in the og story the narration just says they're casually talking but in the podcast you get to HEAR it all happen. Except the conversation was... weird, because it felt like each individual statement felt like it was being taken out of context??? Like one minute they're talking about people growing up out of their uniforms too fast and the next thing they say is something about like. Calling off work????? Or something????? It's really hard to describe how off it was, it was like when you put two cleverbot chat ais next to each other and make them converse. It added to the uncanny effect ✨

Also i lOOOOOVED the whole bit where Rob was freaking out at Bluejay for going so slow around the tree because it reminded me why all good people HATE Denise "Bluejay" Carver /silly

THE HITCHHIKER WAS SO FREAKY I LOVE HIM SO MUCH (i would not touch him with a 39 and 1/2 foot pole)

I appreciate that the stellar characterization of everyone wasn't lost in translation. The voice actors have really brought the cast to life.

However, I do not think Tom needed to be expanded upon. like this guy is just the middleman he does NOT need his own story and the lengthy preamble just kinda detracts from the horror for me.

The one good thing abt Tom's end of things tho is that I enjoy the added detail that Tom seems to be the only one who can remember Alice ever existing

WOOOOOO ALICE IS ONLY HALF BRITISH NOW

In seriousness tho. Idk exactly why the details about Alice and her parents were changed-- like in the OG version she was British with Indian parents, but now her dad is American and her mom is British/Caribbean. It's not a negative by any means I'm just curious as to what the reason was for this change. Also Sharma -> Sharman happened too so 🤷

Final criticism: the whole scene with Chuck Greenwald was slightly worse for me than on first read and first listen via CreepCast. Like genuinely Hunter conveyed him better I think 💀. Like the "they're going to hurt now" line was played straight on CreepCast like it's a serious thing. But then on QCODE Chuck sounds borderline mischievous? Like don't get me wrong I loooove me some hammy, campy evil characters (see: my obsession with disney villains) but even i can admit that there is a TIME and a PLACE for cartoon villain behavior and Radio Jubilation is NOT IT. Also the screams were surprisingly lackluster and the weird metal clanking sounds just really confused me 🥲

BUT ALL IN ALL IT HAS BEEN GOOD SO FAR! I'm excited to see where it goes from here!!

[emotoangel]

here to chat shit. things that happened to me today:

1. i congratulated a child i work with on finishing his goldfish and he screamed and slapped me in the face (to be clear im not like abusing this child he's just [information redacted due to HIPAA])

2. my coworker who i have a crush on told me he wouldnt be free until next wedk but that we should hang out next week. resulting in an ocd spiral because im a little wacko

3. i played 2 original songs at an open mic and i killed and several ppl congratulated me and asked for my spotify and it felt incredible

4. tag phan💗

slay I love chatting shit

1. oh dear 😭😭 I hope you and the kid are okay, jobs like that are hard man you’re doing a great job 🫶🏼

2. oooh the ocd spiral i know her well <3 good luck, I’m sure your hangout with your cute coworker will go super well!! and you’re always welcome to come ramble about it in my inbox or dms if u need :))

3. WOOOOOO well done!!! that’s so exciting, I’m so proud of you for going and killing it!! original songs are so hard to write I’m sure your set went hard as fuck well done 🫶🏼

tagging phan like it’s my job <3

Fourth chapter of my fic ✨

Finally back home so I can continue working on chapter 6

Chapter 1

Chapter 2

Chapter 3

Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Bienvenidos a Miami

The sound of splashing water and humans’ laughter could be heard for miles. Crystal cyan waters glistened across the stretch of the coast, with skyscrapers towering directly opposite. Palm trees dotted alongside the road, and a mural of umbrellas painted the pearly-white sand a colourful rainbow. Party in the city where the heat is on. Welcome to Miami.

“Hey, boys!” A familiar voice emerged from around the corner. It was Gloria, holding what appeared to be a cocktail with a tiny umbrella sticking out of the top.

Skipper swung around, flicking his shiny black sunglasses engraved with tiny dolphins on the left rim, bobbing his head and stomping his foot to the beat of Will Smith’s fitting song ‘Miami’. “Hm?”

The penguins were plopped underneath the refreshing shade of a bright red gazebo on the sand, somehow managing to fit half of the locomotive underneath too. It was a miracle they weren’t spotted by the humans, but perhaps them choosing to bunk in a remote area of South Beach was a smart move. They did have to account for the rest of the circus folk and the fact that they were animals though, so they chose to squeeze in a quiet spot between 24th and 26th Street. As for their gargantuan circus tent? Sprawled across a few dozen square metres of greenery. Very discreet.

“What are you guys doing?” Gloria queried. “It’s like, ninety degrees!”

Private jumped in. “We’re fixing the engine! Admittedly, we are melting a little…”

“Aaaand so is the core.” Kowalski butted in. “Ugh, I hate the heat. Its always too clammy, and my inventions keep breaking!”

“You mean more than usual?” Private teased.

Kowalski shot him a disapproving look.

“Pfft, sorry…” He giggled.

The truth is, Private did have a point. Despite Kowalski being one of the smartest birds alive, he sure had a knack for making things that exploded mid-use. He was lucky no such thing happened to the train engine and the core yet. 3 months had passed since its initial installation and trip to California. This was a new record.

“Hey… where’s Rico?” Gloria pondered, noticing his absence.

Skipper pointed towards the cyan sea, sipping from a coconut.

A distant “WOOOOOO!” grew closer, as out of nowhere sprung Rico and Marty straddled on a neon pink surfboard. Marty struggled to control the direction they were being launched in, heading straight for the gazebo. Rico gasped and threw up a pointy rock in front of them, instantly halting the surfboard. The two monochromatic friends were flung into the air, landing on top of the gazebo and bouncing off only to plummet head-first into the sand.

“Well hello to you too.” Gloria sarcastically greeted the duo.

Rico opened his mouth and an avalanche of sand rushed out. “Bleeeergh…”

“Woo!” Marty celebrated. “Now that is something I never thought I’d try!” He raised his hoof in a hi-five position.

Rico burped out the last few grains of sand and slapped his flipper against Marty’s hoof. “Wahoo!”

“Okay boys, you’ve had your fun.” Skipper uttered. “Rico, we need your help.” He chucked over a screwdriver to the adrenaline-pumped penguin. They needed to lock in, or this core that Kowalski impressively hadn’t exploded yet, might just do that.

“Well, we’ll leave you to it, then… I guess.” Added Marty, gesturing to Gloria to join him.

The birds got along surprisingly well with the four ‘hippies’, as Skipper would call them. Over the last year they had the occasion to bond over both mundane and exciting adventured all over the world. The mammals did find the little guys charming and cute, so they grew quite fond of them. Although, they did tend to draw trouble wherever they went. But that was just something that they’d have to live with if they wanted to keep the little guys around.

In what seemed like only a few minutes, the beach was surrounded by darkness, with the crescent moon and neon city lights illuminating the entire coast. But the penguins had little success in fixing the engine, resulting in Kowalski removing the core completely until they managed to cool it down. He placed it in a small sachet that he swung around his shoulders in order to keep it safe. They were headed for the nightlife in the heart of the city. It was Miami after all, what else would they do?

happy life update with cat pics 💕

I woke up at 7:11am and bounded out of bed feeling cheerful and excited to work on fic today. Our other cat Ameri (the baby, she's two years old) has been very mildly under the weather and I could tell my roommate/partner person Sara was unnerved after Klaus (fair) so I offered to take Ameri to the vet just to check and she was like would you please so I took her in yesterday and the cat is totally fine thank god, and she was good at the vet too, which was great because she hadn't been before and she's a little skittish! They did diagnose her as being a "cutie" which we suspected. Sara said, "Thank you, you are a blessing" to me afterwards and that made me feel really, really nice.

My cardiologist appointment is in twelve days but until then as far as I'm concerned these are Schrödinger's heart problems, I mean I feel okay at least. My dad came down from the Bay Area for Thanksgiving last week and we had a really lovely time and it was technically the first time in my life that I hosted (??) Thanksgiving which made me feel like a grown-up even though all the cooking was just me being like "Sit down. I was going to give you a say in what I'm making but then I decided not to. You will like whatever I cook" and him being like "I will like whatever you cook" and then he liked all the stuff I cooked because I'm good at it despite making food for other people with vanishing rarity.

He had somehow only seen Deadpool 2 so on Thanksgiving we watched Deadpool and then Deadpool & Wolverine and he loved them both because we genetically have excellent taste and he listened to me talk about Ryan Reynolds and we agreed he is dreamy. It was a GREAT day. Then on Friday I took him to my favorite liquor store (...I know how that sounds, but finding and trying unusual liquors is a hobby for me, I am the exact same way with tea. If you ever want recommendations for either please ask me) and he was also dazzled by it, shoutout Mission Wine & Spirits, and we got a couple things and he paid and I was like wooooo thank you!! Love that!!

I also made him start watching Yellowjackets because I like it when he is trapped in my home and I can make him watch things I like. My good friend joined us on Friday night and she and my dad chattered away because he is great and my friends like him which makes me so happy.

The holidays have been rough these last few years but frankly the news of my mom and stepdad's divorce has improved my mood because now instead of those assholes celebrating together in a warm house with Grammy and a fireplace and a big Christmas tree they're all doing something not as good so I'm not missing out on anything but they're still missing me because of their own bad choices. Haha! I win. It's important to me that I win. Yes it's also very good for me to be back in therapy right now.

Winter is usually Ameri Season around these parts because she is a heat vampire but woooooo boy this cat has been in my BUSINESS lately. She's technically Sara's cat (Klaus was mine) and has never been this cuddly with me ever so I'm wondering if she's just like...claiming me in a way she couldn't before. I am officially her territory now! It has really made dealing with all this easier even though I still miss my baby Klaus every single day. But I'm grateful to still be loved by a kitty cat.

I'm grateful for everything I have. Here are some photos of Ameri!

Alrighty. 4,5 and 11 for the RT lore ;)

WOOOOOO thank you so much for the ask LET'S GO

4. How did your RT feel about Theodora? How did they feel when she died?

Oh, boiiiii! Theodora's ghost haunted the von Valancius' flagship for months, and Idira had nothing to do with it.

Isabella didn't have time to develop any feelings for Aunty Theo when she was still alive but after her death? She became sort of obsessed with her predecessor, tried to know as much as possible about her… and used it to look more like her.

No, Iza didn't model herself and her decision after Theodora, but she worked hard on keeping a certain resemblance between the two of them for people to have less doubts that Isabella has rights to her high position.

Even the signature Isabella's feature, her wig collection, is coming from this place: she wanted to resemble Theodora even visually, so ✨ big hair ✨, high boots, dress jackets and some of Aunty's mannerisms were with Isabella for a long time before the 3rd chapter finally happened.

But this all Theodora lore hunting made Isabella deeply respect her predecessor and regret she didn't have more time with the aunty, even tho Iza suspected that Theodora would find her too soft xD

5. What was their relationship with Edelthrad? Would your RT have been happy with an advisory role, or had they always wanted something more?

Look, I replayed the prologue about 10 times recently and Edel was nothing but a piece of shit to my girlie, who did nothing wrong (yet).

In the beginning, she would be drawn to Edel because he, like her, is a psyker, and as close as Isabella's previous crew became to her, there was always one thing standing between them: they were not psykers. They were her people, but they didn't truly understand if you know what I mean.

And she longed so much for the company of other psykers! After all, she grew up surrounded by psykers and AAT people, so she was even excited to finally have one close, again. But Edel was straight-up hostile towards her.

I think she would be deeply unhappy as one of his advisors, and would long for her old crew she could not come back to. Eventually, Edel would try to get rid of her, and rather sooner than later. I'm not sure she would win this stand.

11. Any non-companion NPC's that your RT has an interesting dynamic with?

Let me indulge myself and tell you how much Isabella von Valancius values her High Factotum. I say 'indulge' because question stands for interesting dynamic but these two are just work besties, nothing truly special — BUT THEY ARE SPECIAL TO ME

So, Isabella spent the last decade serving in the supplies division (I still don't know how you name this service correctly), so when she got to her shiny new position she took it with the motto FUCK IT WE TRADE LOGISTIC MATTER.

First, she gave Janris Danrok the hell, personally diving into details of ship logistics and trade contracts, but she found his work more than satisfying and he found his new Lord Captain understanding the trade and supplies. And they just 👀🤝👀

But okay, to add some spice. I believe I mentioned that at some point Isabella sent Jae from her ship to work from some other spot, saying she's got enough of her lies but still wanted to use her connection and talents. The final straw that bought Jae a one-way ticket from vv flagship was an absolutely minor innocent lie, not worth any drama.

The truth is, Isabella got pissed off because of Jae harassing Danrok, calling her High Factotum all sorts of derogatory quartermaster-connected names, and ON THIS SHIP WE DO NOT TOLERATE HARRASING OUR LOGISTIC TEAM OKAY also Jae never became a friend close enough to find out Isabella served in logistics too, otherwise she would watch her words and wouldn't fuck up so much.

Anyway yes Lord Captain was being fucking petty but who could stop her

TYSM FOR ASKING AGAIN

Journal entry: Liqour and Me baby.

been a month sober!!! Woooooo! Super proud of myself! I hope Bone’s proud of me as well.. maybe even Sodo. Hopefully secondo is to, I’m excited to get to two months. I know I can do it.

Got a lot of things going on though.. I look a lot different. I look ugly… like some deformed creature crawling out from the mud.. my horns go a it feels empty, too empty, my hair got singed slightly. I’m trying to forget about it, it’s working so far. I’ll be okay…

Thank you for everything, mom..

First story for the welcome new campers au! Woooooo! (1,104 word count)

Tw: mentions of child abuse and cartoon violence

Summer is starting to end! It's getting a bit colder and nicer, the leaves are starting to turn orange, red and brown, and everyone at Whispering rock have gone home for the rest of the year... well, all except Sora-. He was hiding under the mess hall in a little hole he found, trying to keep himself from being seen and sent back. He didn't want to go back with his father, all the yelling.. demands.. abuse.. that wasn't home. It was far from it, and just the thought of going back there made him tear up and sob..

--------------------------------

Lili was starting to pack up her bags so she could go see her mom. She was excited to see her after the summer, and she had a whole ton of stories to tell her.

Once Lili finished packing it was time to take a sweep of the camp and make sure no kids where still there, wouldn't want another 15 angry calls from parents this year. So she started her rounds and marked them off on a clipboard once she made sure they were all clear. Once she got to the mess hall, she noticed something strange, there were candy and food wrappers around even though everything was cleaned about 10-20 minutes ago. Where did this come from? Then she noticed something else, a hole.

She knew someone had to be inside and went over to take a look. "Hey, are any trouble makers down here? If so you better get out before I cover this thing." Lili said, waiting for the kid to come out but soon after 5 minutes, there was nothing.

"Alright, I'll start filling the hole up then." Lili said as she started kicking in dirt, and just like magic, Sora came out with a backpack and puffy eyes.

Once he came out a wave of concern washed over Lili. Why and who would make Sora cry this hard, it looked like he just got back from a funeral.

"Hey.. hey, buddy.. what happened?.. Why were you down there crying?.." She asked while sitting on the floor next to him. Sora had told Lili about how he didn't have much of a connection with his father, but not too much. He kept most of it bottled up and away from everyone, but now the floodgates were starting to open before his eyes and before long, he spilled everything about his home situation to Lili through tears and sobs. Everything about his mother's death to what its like at the house now, it was like he couldn't stop even if he tried.

--------------------------------

It took a good 20 minutes to explain everything to her, and 5 more minutes to let everything sink in while Lili kept the boy close. This little emo has been through a lot and never let anyone know! And how could a husband and a father do that to his wife and kid?! What the hell was this man thinking?! No way Sora could go back to that!

Lili had to think of a way to save him and fast, for all they know Sora's father could be here to pick him up any moment now! What was she gonna do then? Worry about him till next summer (if he's even aloud to go by then)? I don't think so. Then it hit her, it was a strange plan for sure and she had to make sure he was ok with it but here goes.

"Hey Sora, how would you feel about me basically.. you know.. adopting you? It might take a while but you can stay with me while we work things out." Lili explained while keeping Sora in a close hug. He looked up at her with such hope and thankfulness his eyes as he quickly nodded and shoved his face into Lili's shoulder with so much force that it almost knocked her over. He was finally going to be free, he was going to be happy.

"Don't think you have enough time for that sweetheart." A man said, he was tall and thin with tan orange skin. He talked like he was western. He had dark long hair and beard and his eyes said something along the lines of "this man has killed before and would again if needed." He wore a suit that looked to be more than lili was paid (and she was paid a good amount). This man was Sora's father.

"I'll be taking the boy, I am his father after all." He said while snapping his fingers, causing Sora to stand up straight and stiff, like he was a soldier, then he quickly grabbed his bag and ran over to his dad. His hands were shaking as he looked back at Lili with fear, pleading with her to help him. To save him. Lili knew what had to be done.

"Good, now let's get home boy. We have a lot waiting for-" the man was cut off by a punch in the face. The man looked at who had just ruined his face with blood, and Lili looked right back at him with murder in her eyes as she hid Sora behind her.

"What was that about taking him?" She said while glaring the man down.

"Heh, this is gonna be fun.." The man then started to pull something out of his jacket, to which Lili stopped him with telekinesis

"Really wanna do that bud? We can get you in more trouble for having a gun in a summer camp then I'll ever get in trouble for beating the ever loving shit out of you." She said with a smile on her face.

"Oh I'm sure alright." The man said while glaring Lili down, to which she didn't give a shit while secretly starting to use is telekinesis on a log behind the man as he started to pull out the gun, ready to shoot Lili right between the eyes. But he was too slow, and before he knew it a log bashed him in the back of the head, throwing him into the lake, then Lili dragged him out and dropped him off at the nearest bus stop before throwing him on. After all of the, she let out a sigh of relief before immediately getting tackled down to the ground by a very very happy Sora.

"Woah!- what's with this?" Lili said.

"Thank you..-" Sora said while lifting up his head to meet Lili's eyes. "Thank you for everything.. mom.." He finished before laying his head back on his mom's chest, happy to be in her embrace forever more.
