MATTS POV

i walked downstairs and sat down on the couch trying to find something to do for the day.

“we could go to top golf..?”

“nah that’s boring, matt what do you wanna do because you haven’t spoken up ina while” just when i was about to respond, my phone rang.

“guys eva is calling wait” i answered and put it on speaker.

“heyy evss what’s up?”

“yo you’re on speaker btw so we can all hear you”

“heyy guys so i didn’t know if y’all were busy tonight but i heard madi is having a party at her house i think we should gooo!!!”

“wait bet” i said hoping for approval of nick and chris

“yeah one-hundred percent we’re going because we were literally just trying to figure out something to do tonight”

“alright yayy, see u guys tonight love you so muchhh”

1 hour later

i was walking past nicks room when i heard him on the phone with eva

“but nickkk, pink is my favorite color”

“yes i know girl but if you wear the black dress you’ll match with matt and i’m pretty sure he likes you back but i don’t knoww”

“nick, i really like your brother i might tell him tonight to be honest!”

does eva like me? do i like her back? i always thought she was pretty..

the thoughts were racing in my head

this shouldn’t be making me horny.

as soon as i was going to pull my jeans down, nick yelled “MATTHEW WE WANNA LEAVE HURRY UP”

shit.

“COMING, JUST LET ME GRAB MY KEYS SINCE YOU CANT FUCKING GET YOUR LICENSE AT THE AGE OF 20!”

at the party.

me,chris, and nick all waited outside of the house for eva.

“damn we should’ve just picked her up, her uber is taking years” chris chuckled as he sipped his pepsi

5 mins passed and eva finally stepped out of the car in a tight, black dress that carved out all of her curves. i couldnt ignore how good she looked tonight.

“hey matt you look good!” eva complimented me.

“not to bad yourself” i laughed and lightly tapped her back.

a couple hours had passed and eva was drunk and high as fuck and i could tell.

she started to walk over to me as i was sitting on an arm chair.

“hey matty” she said loudly

“hi evs, there’s no seats available so i can get up if you want!” i said so she wouldn’t have to stand

“i think i’ll just sit on your lap if you’re good with that”

“oh uhm yeah i guess that’s fine”

i was good for a little while until she started to move around a lot to get comfortable.

obviously this made me get squirmish. i grabbed her hips so she’d stop moving so much.

i did not need her to feel her best friends hard-on.

“what’s wrong matty can’t handle me grinding on your lap?” she said seductively.

“stop talking before i stuff your mouth” i said suddenly gaining confidence

“you won’t do shit matthew”

“i’ll prove your ass wrong” i responded back

“do it then”

with those words i pulled her panties to the side and unzipped my jeans. i took my jacket off and wrapped it around us so no one could see what we were doing.

in one swift motion i took my dick out and put it inside of her, earning a quiet whimper from her.

the worst thing that could’ve possibly happened in this moment happened.

all of her friends came up and started talking with her. when she started to laugh her body moved in motions around my cock. making me groan. every minute passing felt like hours.

when her friends left she pulled off of me to go dance or something.

before she could leave i grabbed her by the jaw

“we’re not fucking done with this” she smirked at me and walked off

[riacte]

Yeah yeah TNT trap but one bit of the stream that absolutely fascinated me was the neighbours solidarity between Ren Iskall and Beef. Ren and Beef freaking out over Iskall running back and targeting False if they ever let sight of him. Ren's brain having dived into a "it's us against them" mentality and being anxious around the mountain people because of course he does that, it’s his favourite hermit’s life on the line. Of course he would see as some sort of war even though nothing happened. Ren naming their voice chat group something boring and nondescript like “neighbourhood planning” so no one would join. He’s both still Ministering and keeping up with the theatrics by pretending to be in a so painfully boring meeting. Neighbourhood mafia boys trying to kill Bdubs (for False). Iskall being like lmao you guys are stupid. Lol. Anyways.

And it was so funny how when the trap was done, they were like ahhaha lol see you guys later. Or never. We never knew each other.

AND THEN BDUBS LOGGED ON.

Which naturally freaked everyone out. And what was fucking funny is that other people like Grian, Joe, and Hypno were online and aware of the scheme. They even made references to it in chat. Grian and Joe at least were watching Ren’s stream, because of course he was streaming a top secret operation (and Beef later was like WHY ARE YOU EVEN STREAMING and Ren was like 🥺 this is why I’m a bad reaper). But I don’t think anyone snitched. Everyone acted normal, if not nosy.

The part of the stream that charmed me and gave everyone the impression of “oh, we’re REALLY in it now” was when Ren was alone in his Gigahut and someone whispered to him about Bdubs being on. And those three neighbourhood members met up in Ren’s hut and just sat there panicking and talking about Bdubs. It was so tense. They were the image of three scared whimpering people huddled together on a sofa in the relative safety of their neighbourhood (far away from Bdubs’ trap). (On a side note, I’m always glad when builds are somehow the backdrop for dramatic and tense moments because the build instantly feels lived in and the space feels used. Like there’s a core memory attached to the build now.)

And in the end, they decided to venture out to spy on Bdubs. Which they did for an hour. With spyglasses and crouching. And Ren, good old Ren, was pushed centerstage because he was the second reaper to ever exist and still hadn’t gotten a kill AND he was dead set on supporting his False, and since it was the final two, Bdubs has to go.

Watching the hermitchat go by while those three were intensely studying Bdubs like a nature documentary was hilarious. Seemingly nondescript discussions. The trio panicking and then Grian sent out “have faith”, which might be in reference to G’s own fishing thing but the trio took it as a double message for their own plan (since G was watching the stream). All the whispering. It’s killing me. And False logging on, mostly unprotected (because they were all away!!) and Cleo being like yayy I have no allegiance to False I’ll blow up whatever <3 And False saying she needed a miracle and those three were like WE ARE TRYINGGG (False was aware the three were trapping). Ren’s refusal to say something in chat because he’s a red name and he’s tense.

Ren had to be the one to activate the trap (even though Beef was the one who suggested it and Iskall laid out the redstone). SO the other two had to leave him alone while they engaged Bdubs in discussion so Ren could sneak in and blow them up. Our poor reaper had to fly solo with 2.9k people on his stream. “It’s just you and me, chat”. He’s sat there for three hours. He’s missing dinner.

AND BEEF YELLING AT REN TO ACTIVATE THE TRAP WAS SO STRESSFUL. Even when the ruse was up, and even when Beef and Iskall were like hahaha Ren you SUCK so bad, Ren continued with his last shred of hope and absolute last shred of dignity. He lied. And Beef was probably like 👀 Ren hasn’t given up yet! Gotta distract Bdubs more!

I haven’t watched much Beef before this but now I’m quite charmed with him. He’s great with improv, fucking hilarious to bounce off with, and kept calm and steady throughout the operation. I love how him and Iskall had to hold Ren back from charging in like a madman and blowing himself up because doggy self sacrificial tendencies. Beef was the brains and common sense. And I love how supportive he was of Ren the entire time.

🥺 Beefrenskall. The trappers. The neighbours. Flying high their banner for False. Wanting to be a miracle for her. 🥺🥺🥺

Hello may I request gun, jake, and goo when their s/o wants to go to the gym for the first time? Headcanons, maybe sexual (😏😏) or not, it's up to you

Thankyou for the request Anon! and Omfg I'll try to add a little nsfw in between hehe ;)

Park Jonggun

Well you were the one who approached him and asked him if you could accompany his gym for the first time.

And it did not go well haha..

"What? You? Going to gym? Are you sure you'll be okay?"

He's continuously gonna question you, well uh you've never thought about going to gym before. He's kind of..worried.

Well if you insist, he'll let you go, but dont expect him to let you do your thing.

"Y/N that's not how we do pull ups.. "

"Y/n that's the wrong set of dumbells.."

"You should've learnt some basics to start with, it's would've been easier that way"

Y/n this Y/n that, you got so frustrated you simply left, and he didn't care too much, cause he knew you'd come back in an hour or so because you didn't know what else to do (lol)

NSFW: There can be instances where you're all panting from exhaustion after doing so much of exercise/cardio or whatever and he'd get turned on by your well, moans. He wouldn't care to find a spot to fuck you, he'll uhh just do it.

Kim Joongoo

Let's just say, he'll annoy you, pester you and irritate you as much as he likes.

"Y/n you're going to gym?! SERIOUSLY?!"

"do you wanna be muscular? Haha I bet you do because you wanna fight and defeat me, but you still won't be able to~"

Well you can do whatever you want, wherever you wish to and just don't hurt yourself, and if you do..

"PFT-- oh I'm sorry like did you get hurt really bad sweetheart?"

He does care about you but he won't stop making fun of you for your silly little mistakes

"Hey your posture was so off *insert wheezing* o-oop sorry but like THAT WAS HILAR-" You smack him on his head with your bottle and he goes "ouch-ouch" in pain.

Well at least he cared to help you, so next time, maybe learn the basics and the advance by yourself.

Its better I promise, and if you really wanna learn from him, well uh then good luck!

NSFW: he's a little touchy whenever he teaches you, touching and rubbing your thighs up and down when he corrects your stance. Or 'accidentally' placing a kiss every now and then on your neck when he's close to you. And not just any kiss, it's very seductive.

Kim Gimyung

Yayy Green flag arrives once again!

You tell him you wanna go to the gym, and he's all happy and smiley.

"Really? That's great" giving you that cheesy grin, winking at you.

You both at the gym omg it's gonna be a great time together.

He would like love to help you out like whatever you're doing he'll keep asking you if you're fine with it.

Even when you're doing just fine.

Might cackle in between of your struggle but will rush to you for your help.

And he'll smack your ass in between your exercises, especially when you're hitting legs and your back is visible.

He'll make sure any creep looking in your direction gets disposed of.

Occasionally even Jerry is accompanying you both, maybe even lineman, brad and Jason, but that's just when Jake feels like they should come as well. Other than that if you want that time to be spent only between you two, he has no problem.

NSFW: Sometimes when you struggle, he finds it sort of, cute. And it's kind of a turn on for him. He loves your little frame trying to do courageous tasks. Smacking your ass in between exercises, touching your ass unintentionally when he's helping you. Phew.

I'm gonna force my texas headcanons on you yayy

My favorite personality is texas being transfem i actually forgot this one for a good bit but yeah i remembered it recently, i like to think the reason she doesn't figure out her dysphoria sooner is because partly she doesn't have that strong dysphoria and just thinks it's general insecurity that everyone has

I also imagine texas just not talking as a kid, i feel they just took a while to get it figured out i also imagine he had a weird voice for some reason

He has perception lens but doesn't use them because he doesn't like the look of them, another optional thing to my theory is that he might need them to drive but still doesn't and when someone finds his license says he needs his glasses they're just like "oh my god you could've killed me!"

He falls asleep right after work, for like 3-4 hours because of his sleep patterns (totally not me and school)

He crochets, i just gave him my one of my hobbies

Oooooo I love all of these :D

Transfem Texas is not something I would have thought of and yet it fits so well. Justa dumbass not realizing anything until someone gives a dare to wear a dress and of course Texas would never back down from a dare, so once the dress is on it’s like “…oh shit”

I mean Texases whole thing is guns soo…it would make sense if he was the quite kid, made fun of for his voice being weird and snapped…seems accurate

Blind as fuck Texas is hilarious, no one understands how this man has come so far without his glasses. The best shot in the StateHouse who actually uses guns consistently, best aim just in general for most things, I mean they don’t even ever see him stumble into stuff. Then they are on the road and get pulled over, Texas has someone grab his license for him and BAMB card says like “Yo ass so blind you couldn’t find a nuclear reactor if it wss right in front of ya” and everyone in the car is automatically terrified :D

Texas needs more hobbies than just ✨~Gun~✨ so him crocheting I can get behind. Same with the napping after work, cause let’s be honest here, there is no way that man is on a sleep schedule that is healthy enough to even PRETEND to be a sleep schedule XD

Kurama and Ibuki Sequel Cute moments Part 1 Ft. Rikka

While playing the route I was wondering where the cute and funny moments were because we're at the point where the 2nd necromancer is already killed. But here we are. Also I love that, despite this being Kurama and Ibuki's route, Rikka's moments are sprinkled here and there. I guess the selling point of this route is Rikka.

Kurama: *glares at Ibuki*

Ibuki: *smiles at Kurama*

Yoshino and the soldiers: *nervous*

The sliding door opens...

Tamamo: "It's me, Tamamo!"

Rikka: ".......it's me, Rikka..."

Tamamo: "We're here to start the very first Demon's Naughty Competition!"

Yoichi: "Yayy!!!" *clap clap clap~*

Kurama and Ibuki: "!?"

Rikka: "I don't want to talk to more people, but since Tamamo asked to, I can't say no to him. I'm doing this for Tamamo."

Kurama: "What are you up to Tamamo?"

Tamamo: "Like I said, Ibuki and Kurama, you guys are going to take part in a competition to deepen your friendship. Because it's crucial for the upcoming trials."

Kurama: "Competition? Oh, you mean, you're going to count who cuts down most heads in this room?"

Soldiers shivers in the corner.

Ibuki: "Now now, don't scare those poor guys."

Tamamo: "Yes, let me explain first. You two will be playing a ball throwing game. The person who throws most ball in the other person's basket will be the winner."

Tamamo: "And your reward will be, spending time with Yoshino."

Yoshino: "Why me!?"

Tamamo: "Because Yoshino, you can offer so many nice things."

Rikka: "Yeah, like a kiss..."

Yoshino: *blushing*

Rikka: "Or maybe something else?"

Rikka: "Maybe the winner gets to cuddle with Tamamo's tail."

Ibuki: "Who cares about that? I'm more interested in the Yoshino gift."

Yoshino: "Stop joking already!"

Ibuki: "Who says I'm joking!? Ask Kurama. What do you say, Kurama?"

Kurama: "Don't be ridiculous!"

Yoshino: "Phew~"

Kurama: "Yoshino, you as a whole could be a gift."

Yoshino: "No! No no no!"

Tamamo: "How about this, Kurama? If you win, you can fight Rikka. You're interested to see Rikka's powers, right?"

Kurama: *eyes sparkles*

Yoshitsune: "Kurama is having a change of heart."

Kagetoki: "Looks like things will start real quick."

Yoshino: "Yoshitsune-sama and Kagetoki-san too!"

Akihito: "I'll be the referee."

Ibuki: "Why are you in this?"

Akihito: "I'll start by deducting 1200 points from Ibuki because he's an old man."

Ibuki: "Don't be the referee if you're gonna be unfair."

Yasuchika: "Huh? Akihito-sama is the best referee! Best referee in this entire world! He's never unfair! Everything he says is fair! EVERYTHING!"

Akihito: "I know, Yasuchika. Thank you."

(These two are here too, is there anyone else?)

Sueharu: "Bets on who will win?"

Morinaga: "Ahh..it's hard. I can't predict this one."

Sueharu: "No one asked you Morinaga!"

Yoshitsune: "I bet Kurama will win."

Kurama: "Don't say the obvious."

Ibuki: "Is everyone that free tonight?"

Tamamo: "Anyways, it's decided that the winner will be able to claim Yoshino's time and can do anything with Yoshino as a romantic partner."

Yoichi: "Wow, doesn't that sound fun?"

Yoshino: "What if I say no?"

Rikka: "Looks like you need an example. Let me show you."

Pins her to the wall and holds her cheeks.

Rikka: "I'll show you what good things will happen if you fall in love with me. Maybe, some things might be immoral and troublesome to say it in words. How about I show you instead?"

Yoshino: *blushing and shakes her head vigorously* "No need for live examples! Enough!"

Rikka: "......."

Rikka: "Hehe...you look cute."

A smile appeared on Rikka's face and he moved closer----

Kurama: "How long will this example continue?"

Ibuki: "Now I want the prize. That's enough for the demonstration."

Rikka: "You're right. If I don't stop here, I might end up doing terrible things."

Morinaga: "Of course you should. Yoshino's safety is our main priority."

Yoshitsune: "...I was about to pull out my sword just in case."

Rikka: "Everyone really loves you."

Ibuki: *holds Yoshino's hand* "So the winner gets her, right?"

Kurama: "Then let's start the battle. No matter what it is, I'm going to win!"

*Game starts and few seconds later*

Yasuchika: "Oh my, the basket is in flames."

Yoichi: "This doesn't seem like a regular ball throwing game anymore."

Kurama: "Ibuki, what the hell are you doing to my basket!?"

Ibuki: "Look carefully."

Throws the ball and the ball goes straight through the basket making a hole.

(They're not holding back at all)

Akihito: "At least he's holding back a little."

Kagetoki:" Kurama is also counterattacking with his wind to deflect the ball."

Kurama: "You think you could win against a demon who can control wind? *starts glowing*

Yasuchika: "OMG! I'm getting excited!"

Ibuki: "Let's see, shall we?" *starts glowing*

Yoshitsune: "It looks more like a supernatural tournament than a regular ball throwing game."

Tamamo: "That's why it's called the Demon's Naughty competition in the first place."

Yoshino: "This is too naughty!"

Tamamo: "What can we do, if they are young in both mind and body?"

The flaming balls go back and forth in lightning speed and baskets have melted to crisp. All the soldiers moved away and watching the fight from afar.

Benkei: "Hey! What the hell is going on here!?"

Benkei came running and behind him was Shigehira-kun in shock.

Shigehira: "What is this? Am I in hell?"

Yoritomo: "Everyone looks excited tonight."

Morinaga smiled happily at Yoritomo who approached calmly.

Morinaga: "Yes! Looks like the roof is gonna explode."

Sueharu: "Also, the only things that the Rebels and myself have destroyed are things of no value. So please sent all the repair costs to the Imperial Court, thank you."

Right after Sueharu said that.

Yoshitsune and Akihito: "Ah!"

Kurama and Ibuki's powers collided with each other and the roof explodes.

Chloe as Ladybug and Nath as Chat Noir - chlonath AU

Ok so I know this concept isn’t revolutionary or whatever, but strap in I have a lot of thoughts-

So in this, where for Marinette and Adrien getting a miraculous and becoming a superhero helps them through their issues, for Chloe and Nathaniel they instead enable unhealthy coping mechanisms. Let me explain:

Where in canon, becoming Ladybug helped Marinette grow into herself more, build self-confidence and assurance when in her citizen life she’s clumsy and the mousy classmate, for Chloé it’d be her gateway to getting the attention and validation she craves. But the thing is that seeking this sort of attention to fill a void never actually does that, you’re always only left wanting more.

Where for Adrien, having the chance to become Chat Noir made him be able to drop his perfect son model persona and be wild and free and laidback, get some freedom, for Nath it’d become a power fantasy, being able to be strong and respected like he’s always dreamed, but it’d also make him adopt a fake persona. Becoming one, instead of shedding one.

In short, instead of truly being all in it to help other people and/or doing the best job they can, it’s all bad coping with their citizen lifestyle & focused on their own self.

And you’re going to say; Well that doesn’t sound so bad. Oh no, oh no trust me it is. Being superheroes and feeling important for a bit will not in any way sort their issues out.

Chloe indeed getting positive attention from being Ladybug will def not act like therapy with her and won’t solve the shit ton of issues she has, and ultimately what she needs isn’t fame at all, or support relying on how much she does (aka transactional support), that’ll only shift her world view from "to be important(aka respected and "good") I need to be like my mother 24/7" to "to be important(aka liked) I need to excel as a superhero 24/7". What she needs is to allow herself to be imperfect and vulnerable and getting a good support system.

And Nath is so much worse oh no my boy. Imo he’s very much the sort of bully victim to fantasize about suddenly growing incredible strength or magical powers and slamdunking on their bullies with it, I see him as having some anger issues, mostly bc of the ep where he’s quick to assume Marc is ill intentioned and snaps at him + his Evillustrator episode. Of course though, like with Chloe, their issues stem from trauma. But all this to say that as a superhero? It would be the biggest ego trip for him. He’d put on this act of what he thinks the "cool, appreciated" jokester superhero behaves like and ultimately, like with Chloe, the validation he gets from being a superhero won’t truly feel like validation for him. His service to the city would (like Chloe, yeah they do have similarities ngl) make him feel entitled to more recognition and things in his citizen life. He’d want to randomly use his powers to get attention from citizens, etc etc, and fighting and being in a situation of power would enable him to let out his anger and resentment in unhealthy ways.

Yayy say hi to our heroes!! They do seek to defeat akumas and protect the city & citizens tho.

On the first meeting as superheroes they wouldn’t like each other, but after that Nath would become smitten with Ladybug, and not out of idealism either. It’ll be so ironic that he’s so in love with her as Ladybug but absolutely loathes her as Chloe. I think Chloe might have tried one of her flashy tricks like endangering the train for attention, but then she’d get demolished by the akuma, and then when she ultimately wins and defeats it, the saved citizens cheer for her so much more than they did when she faked a problem. So, she thought, here actions actually matter instead of pretenses and appearances like in high society and politics? Wild. And getting demolished actually gives her a wake up call that this isn’t play-pretending, it’s serious, and so in my AU as ladybug she’d be pretty no nonsense and straight to the point, liking to be valued by her merits because she does put in efforts.

Tikki’s adherance to rules and moral righteousness does rub off on her, but honestly Chloe doesn’t see future consequences all that much. Her reason for rejecting Chat Noir’s advances (besides her not liking him that much, no love square bc I don’t think in this AU Chloe would have a crush on Nath, at least not until he gives her a chance ) and request to know each other’s identities isn’t because of rules or safety at all, but because she’s terrified that he’ll reject her if he knows who she is. And she’s right to be, because when the identity reveal does happen, Nath is pissed and refuses to see her for like one or two weeks. But yes Tikki does imprint in her the importance of rules and plans of action, and that… Ends up making her more bossy in her citizen life. Akuma attacks? Chloe will be telling her classmates how to act as she gets a special free pass to leave because of her father, pissing everyone off.

Now where it’d get fun is that Chloe would slander the shit out of the Akuma’s costumes, and Hawkmoth’s if she ever sees it. Like Marinette doesn’t does that in canon and she’s an aspiring fashion designer hello??! I guess that comedic potential will have to go to our meanest girl critic then. Also she def does banter with Chat Noir. Like, the nickname chaton? She tries it once condescendingly, saying and Chat Noir goes "Don’t call me kitten" understandably peeved, and she goes "Well, what am I going to call you then? Chat Noir is so alleyway tomcat, ew. Hmm, how about tiger?" Pointing to his hair, and that makes him feel kinda fierce and badass so he agrees lol

But also, I think he’d start giving more chances to Chloe in citizen life and in turn it’d surprise Chooe and encourage her to be more vulnerable with him and in general. They form a tense but non-hostile acquaintanceship. When asked why, Nath just goes "Someone taught me that giving second chances can surprise you." aka Ladybug because he disliked her at first (she reminded him of Chloe lol). Chloe would be super curious about and interested in the superhero comics Nath makes, centered around Ladybug and Chat Noir’s adventures, some suspiciously accurate and some very obviously made up. When poiting at his comics, she calls Chat Noir ‘tiger’ and Nath is SO disturbed about it, but Chloe’s like "?? Well it’s know Ladybug calls hom that, so um, like, everyone calls him that now you know? Get in with the times"

The relationship between the miraculous holders and their kwamis would be crucial.

Like, we know that Chloe admires Ladybug in canon a bunch, but I don’t remember why exactly, so I don’t think Chloe would necessarily be overjoyed at first to get such a huge responsibility dropped on her. But all that Tikki would need to say is "I chose you, no one else can do it", aka, "you’re special" and Chloe is instantaneously sold. Once she realizes it’s not a game she’d feel a lot of pressure on her shoulders, but ultimately she’ll end up feeling like it’s her duty and hers alone and she can’t give it to anyone else, because she’s special. But as time goes on, Tikki becomes someone Chloe really leans on. She sort of replaces Mr. Cuddly for her: Tikki is a supportive presence that offers unconditional advice and affection. Of course Tikki will scold her on a bunch of things, helping her see the errors of her way and acting as a sort of moral compass, BUT! Tikki will also be the only person that she can truly just be with, even Jean can’t do that fully because ultimately he’s a hired worker and doesn’t want to be fired, or be super attached only for his contract to end y’know. With everyone, even Adrien imo, she has some expectations to uphold or effects she wants to have, but Tikki? Tikki’s seen her bawling her eyes out, saying ugly things out of anger, covered in mud, she’s seen everything. Tikki knows everything about her and her situation in both halves of her life, and she hasn’t left, and that just means that Chloe can truly have no filter with her. And Tikki takes care of her holder.

Needless to say Nath jumps onto the opportunity as soon as Plagg so much as utters a word. I think it’s often forgotten or undermined, but while Plagg is generally laidback, he also has a strong sense of morals and he 100% will bluntly confront Nath if he tries or does anything shitty or anything for the wrong reasons. He will 100% call out Nath on it if he’s not taking being a superhero seriously enough (I know, god forbid Plagg to be the pne to do that lmao). Plagg is that type of influence that will encourage Nath to stand up for himself and become more self-confident (in a healthy and genuine way) in his citizen life. He’ll tell him to stand up to his bullies, and he’ll hype him up like "You’re epic! Yeah!! You can do this!! YEAH!!!" which will be SO good for Nath. But, if Nath is thinking of getting revenge on, say, Chloe, in a cruel way, Plagg will def be the first to say it’s wrong and will only make everything worse for everyone. He’s a sort of firm but incredibly warm older brother. In a similar way to Chloe, Plagg’s seen how Nath is and doesn’t mind it at all, is still the same supportive way, and that helps Nath with his insecurities, that maybe if Plagg still likes him then that how he really is isn’t lame or plain or boring.

Tikki is the supportive and present parental figure she needs. Plagg is the emotionally & socially intelligent and encouraging friend he needs.

So in the end, the true remedy for shit self-esteem isn’t superhero powers but the friends we made along the way.

Chloe and Nath are such good mirrors of one another fr fr 😭😭💕

I hope y’all like this! I’d write it, but I’m awfuuul at writing longfics. Maybee one day. I do have another miraculous holder chlonath AU that I’d like to get to first though.

[anonzentimes]

oh my god your answer to my silly song question was so much more in depth and thought out than i was expecting lmao /pos thats wonderful also omg thank you for linking the nagito songs ive known about them for a while but the stupid neurodiverse brain isnt allowing me to listen to them let alone write their names on a search bar so i might actually be able to give them a listen now theyre directly in front of me lmfao 😭😭😭 (when the fixation so weird it doesnt let you engage with it ????? i gues????)

YAYY!!!! I'm so glad I could tell you about the songs, I really can't wait until I get my video script on them done so there can be something on Youtube about them lol. You made me excited by asking about the songs since I'm really passionate about the soundtracks, there's so many good songs and oddly unknown tracks??? The franchise is such a complicated messy but wonderful thing haha! Thank you for encouraging me to talk about it I've rambled to friends before but forgot to make a post about it :)

Here are the wikis as well so if you'd like you can look at the lyrics of the Nagito Songs (even if one of the videos I sent has them) and interpret what they're about for yourself!: https://danganronpa.fandom.com/wiki/Zansakura_-zanka-

[volivolition]

Helloooo hi <2 <3 we have. music for you again :3c

1. Bad Astrology by Flower Face!! cw for suicide being mentioned halfway through the song though!

REALLY good song, we've been waking up with it stuck in our head recently,, This is very much a Diamonds and Spades song™ tbh (they loooove Flower Face) personally I lov how blue it is and how the instrumence™ sound. Flower Face might be becoming one of our favourite musicians actually FJDJSKFKD

2. Counting Cards by Rainbow Kitten Surprise!

Ok this one's a favourite for a starmate that you'll probably neverrrrr meet HDJXJSKFKDSJ his name's JJ and he fronts. SO IRREGULARLY FJDJDJFJDJ

BUt!!! RKS is also one of our favourite bands collectively, they've got such a good range of music, from soft acoustics to heavier rock songs, they're awesome omg. This is a good one to get started with their discography imo! The singer's voice in this one is just wonderful and the guitar is very Brain Scratchy for us I love how repetitive it is!

It's ALSO very blue, bout the same dark shade as Bad Astrology actually, which is. Kinda funny, like I wonder what abt each song makes them so similar to each other that they're damn near the same shade synesthesia-wise if that makes sense JFNDSNFJD

also also also. We made you a playlist!! Of every song we've sent you so far! here's a link to it! It'll be updated w the newest song recs whenever you post our asks 👍 if you want us to like. change anything about the description or playlist title do let us know HCNXKZKC <2 wly! -Dark

HELLOO HI BELOVEDS!!! :3c WAUHGH yall are!! EVERYTHING TO ME HKJH thank you so much for making a playlist for me wahhh :'] i really truly appreciate it!!

Bad Astrology - YAYY FLOWER FACE!! thank you for the cw <33 i do associate Flower Face with Diamonds and Spades (and Clovers) like, every time hkgjh i love the beginning sorta synth sounds, its sounds like thrumming before all the instrumence surge in with the vocals, i love the singer's vocals as per ALWAYS, the delicate sound of the bridge(?) "Palisade honeymoon / I'll only see what you want me to see~" it's really gorgeous and quietly intent, the lyrics hurt my heart hkjh :'] <33

Counting Cards - [claps!!] oooh JJ song!! i saw yall talking about RKS earlier, hell yeah :] OH REAL, the guitar is VERY NICE i love the "du-du-du" motif hehe <33 the lyrics are very clever and i love how they're sung, it sounds so smooth?? but with a sadness to it. like a background tragedy, a side character aware that the story they're in ends sadly for them and singing knowing it. i love the slow-to-quick "fa-ay-ded by-y-y / in time withth'back'o'yo'bedam i…" is sung and the pitch UP on the "watch me murder… THIS~ ✨" like YES NICE!!!!! <33 i also think this a great intro to them, this is very cool!! 

blue songs!! thats so interesting that both of them share similar shades of dark blue :o!! i think they both feel a bit melancholic, so this makes sense to me <33

AGAIN!! PLAYLIST!! WEEPS /POSITIVE HKGJH THANK YOU SO MUCH :']!!! yall don't have to change a thing, i think its perfectly lovely, brings me joy :'] <3333 <2222

[castlebyersafterdark]

i will comment fully, but its possible that i over-medieval'd this whole fic so that even the workshed they were in was filled with wood and crates and period-accurate details haahha

in my vision it had the same atmosphere as the byers' shed where will was first taken, golden light through slatted wood, musty and woody etc. a great callback to the show (the famous painterly s4 shot of them in the sunbeams too!) and mike and will looked amazing with that low sunlight beaming through!

fav details: flouncy robe (was NOT expecting the extra layer of flounce - look up organza, chiffon or tulle fabrics for your costume as the mesh layer!), mike's feral snarl (the line about a lamb and a wolf?! 🥵) and also just the whole dynamic of the fantasy chat, how it was a combo of different movies and hollywood versions of period drama etc, plus erotic novels, camp, even 80s comedy they might have seen at the time? it was so a great mix it worked so well, so so creative and inspired. i smiled so much as i read and definitely laughed out loud a few times at will's sass and the way they were perceived by the party. and shot through with true emotion like the other couple at the fayre! it was so atmospheric. so good i'm really glad you wrote it and i hope you enjoyed it because i can feel the work that went in, a passion project for sure. you should be really proud!

🧙🔮 ✨

Awww thank you!! I do feel proud. It was certainly... a feat of endurance. But I did it! Yayy.

That's so cool you had visions shifting into a more thematic, medieval (oh my god I just spelled that right without spellcheck for the first ever?? woah. anyway) setting because we can imagine for Will and Mike, they also might have gotten lost in the fantasy at times, shifting between the reality and somewhere more fantastical - like when Will was in the parking lot and he daydreamed the cars were tents on the outskirts of a battlefield. I really love that take away because that's the vibe!!! Yess!!!

The flouncy robe!!! In the Stranger Things comics and Will's drawings of Will the Wise from early seasons, we see that character as an old man wizard, and I think in season 3 his drawings become more like himself in reality. So I loved crafting this vision that he experiments with a look for himself even further removed, still very mystical?? The little robe I just adored for him. And the dialogue!! Nothing fills me with more joy than readers getting what I was going for there and YES - you did get it. It's kind of frankensteined from multiple reference points because they're nerds, they're dorks, they're also so overcome with lust that while trying to maintain character it's all a mess. Influences from DnD which is just improv and a combination of lofty, over the top mimic of high fantasy and tongue in cheek realism. Mike pulling from erotica novels he's secretly read. All over the place. Glad it worked because the challenge was - what would two nerdy 18 year olds really talk like? It couldn't sound like a porno. But it couldn't sound Shakespearean. They needed to sound like... horned up nerds hahahahah. And I think I conveyed that.

Anyway, I love talking about this story. It rotated around in my brain for MONTHS and I genuinely feel accomplished. Even having published two little fics and soooo many posts on this blog - I feel like I've finally added something to the fandom I'm pleased with. Thank you for all the kindness!!!! 😁😁😁😁

[jennicatzies]

holy shit i absolutely adore your au!!! can other characters ever break from their scripts or will ham and burr suffer alone together?

HELLO I APOLOGIZE FOR THE ROYALLY LATE RESPONSE,,,

Thank you SO much, this au makes me insane 🙏🙏 glad to know other people are interested haha!!!

Alright discussing the question . Unfortunately, Burr and Hamilton r the only AWARE aware ones. Sad times. howEVER there are SOME characters who are a tiiiiny bit aware or at least has cracked a little bit Once. But that's about it. Next run their memories r wiped and they start from 00:00:00 again.

I thiiiink I remember talking ab Jefferson and his faulty script wiring? I'll dive more into it again here tho haha. Yapping about other characters with a drop of awareness under the cut

The main guys we already know are Hamilton, Burr, Seabury and Bullet [ even though SeaBullet are on the side of the stage ]

But what about. Other characters.

Okay I wanna talk ab my favorite scenario/minor ish plot point ever

Southern mf democratic republicans. STAY WITH ME I'LL ELABORATE

OKAY they're. INFURIATINGly funny. Conceptually. Though not as severely as Burr, they have caught glimpses of stage elements or even the audience at some points, though that's about it and their memories get wiped at the end of each show.

Jefferson's handling/POV: okay uh. You know those lil bits in the musical where he "interacts" with the audience/people off stage. Aka blowing a kiss to the audience in What'd I Miss and handing someone off stage a copy of the Reynolds Pamphlet. Canonized. Ish. These could easily be translated into in universe terms by his script wiring, but sometimes he just. Sees the audience. Ultimately he doesn't give a damn. He's having too much fun to worry about it.

Burr has tried to like, get information out of him about this, but hey since he doesn't know what in the world Burr is tweakinh out about he just goes like, "mann I think you just need sleep. Or water. Or water and sleep. Or you're insane. Good luck" and skips on his way ODHRJJEOR

Madison's handling/POV: Madison time yayy. Sickly. Sickly guy. He's also caught lil glimpses of the audience or stage elements seeping into his scripted vision, but also ultimately doesn't think much further about them. Since he's. Quite aware that hes Sickly he kinda just goes "damn guess we got Mental illnesses now. Fml" and moves along

Burr's also tried to talk to Madison about it, but he insists that he himself is just really tired or Sick.

Unless it's the very off chance of jeff and mads' "error" syncing up, they never really like, acknowledged this that much. Maybe the occasional "hey what's that" "what's what" "nvm I'm just sleepy" but that's pretty much it. The part already broken doesn't develop with each run rkjeorkerk they just kinda get The Visions occasionally and shrug

No illustrations for this but! Washington! My friend and I kinda cooked something with this, but the drabble's theirs n' I don't wanna share w/o their knowledge hfhdjfjd

Not really a loop aware or stage aware thing but. His mind. The way he thinks. Happened in like ONE run and that's. That's all the crumbs we get for Washington. Sorry :(

For Washington, it was during the Meet Me Inside number. He just notices that Hamilton's line delivery isn't as... angry as expected. And so he's like... oh. Oh shit. Wait what.

He still!!! Feels angry!!! Because he's scripted to!!! But he doesn't want to be angry anymore!! But he is!!!! Internal conflict!!!! It confused him because his brain is telling him to be mad because Hamilton upset him. But he. He doesn't want to be upset in that moment. Oh well. Fuck

There MIGHTTT be more crumbs for other characters but. It's the middle of the night and this is all I can rack from my brain. Ask about the state of some character and if you're lucky you Might get crumbs

[ghostenluvs]

secrets in stone:

chapter 2: confrontation

previous | next

tw: arguing, non-gory violence, discussions of harm/assassination of children [which will make a lot more sense if you read chapter one], many a use of italics and bold because i like them.

[please be kind about this chapter! it's not perfectly in character ik but i wanna get to the rest of the fic as soon as i can.]

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

Sun wukong is making dinner.

Now he’s no culinary expert, but he’s pretty sure he’s mastered this delicacy.

It’s not on fire this time!

Nevertheless, drugstore ramen is always fiddly. Leave it in for too long and it straight up melts, heat it too much and it straight up melts, accidentally break the lid on the hot sauce once and it straight up melts (you), it’s been frustrating.

But it isn’t on fire this time! So that’s good.

He inputs three minutes to the oven timer and presses start. He turns around and there’s the kid, just chilling, coloring in some paper and also probably the table. They’re very focused, not even looking up when he sits down to look at their drawing.

“What’cha doin’ bud?” 

The kid holds up their paper, showcasing a masterful (for a toddler) crayon rendition of them and himself holding hands on top of a tree. It’s downright adorable. He might cry. Or explode. Or both. Yeah, both is good.

He opens his mouth to deliver the highest of praise to this display of artistic prowess when-

BOOM!

An explosion  rings out, followed by the sound of aggressive footsteps on stone and a shout that fully and totally embodies the word ‘pissed.’ 

“WUKONG!”

Oh no.

The kid yelps, trying to cover their ears and latching onto his chest. He stands up, holding them close and speeding into the kid’s room. He sets them down in the corner behind their bed quickly. He needs to make sure they stay there. He knows that voice. 

He knows that voice. 

Macaque.

He hasn’t heard him in a while but he could distinguish his old friend’s (that’s definitely a stretch right now) voice anywhere.

“What’s happening?!” the kid grasps his sleeve with a surprising grip.

“Okay kid it’s gonna be fine, everything is fine. But I need you to stay here for a minute okay? You can’t move ‘till I come and get you. It’s very impo-”

“WUKONG! COME OUT HERE! I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME!” the angry shout cuts him off.

“Ok kid i just need to deal with this real quick just stayrightthere-'' he tosses a blanket over them and speeds back out of the room, and the house. Stopping at the bottom of the stairs, he comes face to very understandably pissed off face with the warrior. 

Macaque is standing in the middle of the cave, holding his shadow staff, ready for a fight.

–

He dodges a large rock as it makes contact with the ground beneath him, he jumps to the left, Three more following the first. He can’t fight in here. This is bad. The kid could get hurt in way too many ways if this goes on.

He needs to move this someplace else.

He dashes for the passage leading out of the cave. Only to find himself falling headfirst through darkness and landing on his stairs. Shadow portals, yayy.

“So you’re just going to run away again?! TYPICAL. Always running away from the problems YOU CAUSED.” he shouts, holding his staff high and bringing it down at the stairs. He rolls out of the way, the stairs now splintered from the impact. He winces.

Yeesh.

The staff is swung at him again and he puts his arms up to block it. The swings keep coming, the force of the barrage sending gusts of wind through his fur. Macaque is seething, which he notes, is fair. Given well, everything.

“This is just how you do things, huh? You run yourself into trouble, and then you throw everyone else into the fire for you!”

“That’s not-” he sidesteps a vertical strike. He liked that flower bed.

“Oh don’t you DARE say it isn’t, oh Great Sage! It wasn’t even just me! The brotherhood, DBK, and that CHILD that heaven wanted gone! A CHILD, WUKONG!”

He startles at that, macaque taking advantage to send a kick to his ribs, launching him back into the cave wall.

“Wha- how did you-?” the air having been knocked from his lungs, leaving him momentarily stunned.

Macaque let out a bitter chuckle, finding some amusement in his floundering.

“You seriously thought that your continual kissing up to heaven would go unnoticed? No, people talk. You can only get away with so much before your oh so precious reputation gets painted with some of that blood on your hands.” he practically growled the last words.

A spike of cold ran down his spine. He hadn’t left the mountain long enough to talk to anyone. Is that how people viewed him now?

“I didn’t-”

“Gege!” he’s cut off again, this time by the kid. Who had made their way partially down the stairs and looked absolutely mortified.

He’s in front of them in less than a second, checking for injuries of any kind with his gold vision and trying to block Macaque’s view of them as much as possible. 

This is bad. This is really, really bad.

A beat. 

“What… is that?” the warrior sounded sort of stunned.

He holds the kid closer to himself, slowly turning his head to face Macaque.

“...”

“A regular normal monkey with nothing notable about them?” His acting needs work, sue him.

Now it was macaque’s turn to be sent floundering.

“What? You- how did you even- WHERE DID YOU GET A BABY?!”

“I… found it.” 

The shock of seeing the warrior sent his cover story abilities off kilter, to put it lightly.

The kid wriggles his head out of the king’s arms to stare at the warrior.

“Who’s that? Why’s he mad at you?” they ask, wriggling their arm out as well to point at Macaque.

“Uh.”

Yeah, he’s got nothing.

Meanwhile, Macaque has been silently looking back and forth between the two, and connecting some very important dots.

“Wukong.”

“Uh… what?” He's failing to keep a straight face and he knows it.

“Wukong.” oh no, that’s the ages old ‘you’ve done something supremely idiotic and i’m at my wits’ end with you’ voice. He did not miss it.

“What?”

Macaque puts his hands together in front of his face, mouth in a flat line.

“Is that the child? I swear if that is the child you were supposed to-”

“MAKE SURE GETS TO BED BY 7:30? Absolutely. Now look at the time it is 7:31 kid you should be in bed why are you out here?” He sets them back in front of him.

“Oh! The dinner noodles are on fire again!” they state with way too much whimsy, pointing at the house.

“Ah crud not again-” he grabs the kid and speeds back into the kitchen, momentarily distracted from the warrior’s presence in his quest to shut off the heat and fan out the fire hazard/actual plume of flames.

The fire goes out and he lets out a ‘phew’ that ‘burned down house’ isn’t getting added to his list of things he did today, among ‘witnessed true art’ and ‘ got kicked into a wall by his old friend/enemy??? He did NOT expect to see this millenia’.

He is then reminded of said frenemy. Darn.

“First of all, the sun is directly above us right now, I don't know what clock you’re running on. Second, wow, this place is a mess, how do you live like this?” he asks from the doorway, always the pinnacle of sarcasm. He gestures to the pile of paper towel cardboard thingies in the corner the kid’s been collecting to ‘build a castle with’.

He glares, “oh and you’re so much more organized? I’d like to see you deal with this situation.”

“Taking into account the three separate piles of dishes, markers and dolls right next to, but not in the box labeled ‘dolls’, I'd say I am more organized than you.”

“Okay, kid, you are going to wait in your room for dinner. Thank you for the fire alarm, I have to deal with this.” he sets them down and points to their room, trying to sound as stern as he can without sounding mad.

“But-”

“Sorry kid, no buts. Room. now.”

“Aww.” they relent and traipse back into their room. An audible ‘pomf’ sounds as they face plant into bed.

He turns back to macaque, making a shooing motion. “Outside.”

A shadow portal opens below them, macaque landing silently while he is dropped from the cave ceiling onto his face. Well, if he didn’t have his cloud to faceplant on, that is.

Macaque regards him with a flat, yet still very angry expression.

“Well this certainly throws a wrench in my murdering you.”

He opens his mouth to retort, but is cut off.

“I’m still gonna do it, but there is a wrench nonetheless.”

He hops off his cloud, scratching his neck awkwardly.

“Yeaahhh…. Kind of expected that. – he sighs – listen, I can't be fighting with the kid here.”

“Why is the kid here? Seriously, it was dumb to do what you did but it’s even stupider to keep them!”

“Yeah, what would you want me to do there?! I thought you were mad when you thought I actually did it. You’d rather I just drop him somewhere?!”

“Maybe! This is literally the second most conspicuous thing you could’ve done with them, barring just taking a pop in to tour the jade palace with the kid in full monkey form! There is no way he doesn’t get caught.”

“Well I disagree! You can’t drop a kid like him out on his own somewhere, they’d just die. – he lowers his voice, – I am not going through the trouble of not killing them just to abandon them somewhere.”

“Well what am i s’posed to do huh? I’m not going to back down just because you’ve attained fatherhood or something while I was gone!”

“Hey! Not fatherhood, you heard the kid before, and I'm not backing down either! But if we fight right now that kid is either going to get horribly traumatized, or get even worse trauma and get basically orphaned, if you could even manage to beat me. And I am not too keen on scarring that kid for life!”

“Well then we’ve got a problem here.”

“Pff, like we didn’t before.”

There is a moment of stubborn silence, the both of them holding a tense stare-off.

How in the world does he end this situation without anyone getting killed… he can’t feasibly deter macaque from this fight forever. 

An incredibly far fetched idea dawns on him.

Maybe he doesn’t have to.

He breaks eye contact, looking to the side. “Can we do this like… tomorrow?”

“Wha- TOMORROW?! Seriously? You’re- no. you’re not getting out of this that easily.”

Far-fetched indeed.

“It was worth a try!” he states, resisting the urge to do finger guns because if he did that macaque would actually just kill him.

Macaque’s face is scrunched up in a combination of intense annoyance, befuddlement, and sheer incredulity.

“I swear to every deity… why are you LIKE this?! Did you seriously think that would work?”

“Well I dunno! - he huffs in exasperation - i’m gonna be honest here, i kinda just need you to leave right now. And i KNOW ‘oh wukong just wants to get out of this super annoying situation yadda yadda’ is the only thing you’re hearing here but i cannot be engaging in a probably-definitely super destructive battle for the ages with a whole TODDLER up there in my house!”

“Do you really-” macaque interjects.

“no. no! We are LITERALLY immortal! WE HAVE ACTUAL AGES TO DO THIS! YOU CAN'T WAIT TO MURDER ME FOR FIVE MINUTES?”

“Well, they’ll still be a toddler in five minutes!” he sarcasms sarcastically.

“Then wait a while longer! I don’t care, I am so tired! You think keeping this kid from setting the mountain ablaze is easy?! He’s practically a human rocket launcher! You wanna kill me really bad, I know. I guarantee you there’s about ninety people who took a number first, get in line!”

Macaque scoffs, “woowww, so you’re tired! You don’t wanna deal with me right now! Ohoho, HOW SURPRISING. Am I too much for you, Great Sage? Are my grievances too much to handle? Get a grip!”

“You know that is not what I MEANT. LOOK, YOU CAN MURDER ME ALL YOU WANT LATER. I COULDN’T CARE LESS IF YOU SHOWED UP TO FIGHT TO THE DEATH OR WHATEVER HORRIBLE VENGEANCE PLAN YOU HAVE FOR ME IF I DIDN’T HAVE THE KID TO DEAL WITH! BUT I DO, SO I AM NOT GOING TO LET YOU DROP HIM DIRECTLY INTO THE CROSSFIRE HERE!”

He takes a breath, lowering his voice.

“I am not going to let this kid be put in danger. So if you try to do that by fighting me, I will make sure you regret it dearly.”

Macaque is silent for a while. In that time the air feels static and his muscles are tense, well prepared to make good on his threat.

The warrior takes a deep breath in and looks away, seeming to bore a hole into the ground with the heat of his glare. The king can’t tell whether he’s actually mulling it over or deciding the most painful thing to punch first.

—

Macaque is conflicted.

He thought he wouldn’t be made so this easily, but here he is.

On one hand, Wukong is standing right in front of him. It would be so easy to just throw him through the mountain walls and forget about that kid. He really, really, wants to just punch wukong directly in the chest and send him flying. Finally get his payback. His arm practically itches to be swung.

On the other hand however, there is a child. A toddler, a stone monkey that he’d thought was dead. Murdered viciously under the command of heaven. There is a kid who has no idea why he’s here. No context or knowledge or life experience, no clue of everything the great sage, equal to heaven had done, had put him through.

And the great sage himself was trying to get him to leave, fight another day. Under the guise of protecting this kid. He wants to call it a bluff and ignore the way the king’s voice had shifted into the tone he’d always reserved only for the things he was most serious about. The things declared in that tone had always been followed through to the end. Always, but once.

So he’s conflicted.

If he waited, he would have more time to prepare, more time to amass the power he needed. He’d come here the first chance he got since his return to the mortal realm. His powers were just at the level where he knew he could battle the king. Maybe it would be smarter to gather more resources.

But to what end? How long would he be expected to wait to get his revenge? He’ll have to ask. This is going to be a negotiation, he’s not just going to take it with nothing in return.

—

“How long?”

“What?”

“How long would you expect me to put off my plans so this kid doesn’t get orphaned or traumatized and all that? I would expect a time frame.”

“You’re actually taking it?” the king asked, incredulous.

“I’m thinking about taking it. I need to know what the deal is before I agree not to murder you here and now. How long?” He punctuates the question with a glare.

“Uh. just, you know… until they won’t die on their own? Until they can take care of themself?”

“And how long will that be?”

“How should I know? None of us have been born babies before! Probably a couple years? Like a decade?”

“A decade.” he raises an eyebrow.

“Probably a little longer than that, but probably no longer than 20 years. Humans stop growing around then.”

Macaque takes a moment to think, seemingly calculating something. His tail lashes behind him, clearly annoyed.

He seems to decide, setting his shoulders.

“Fine.” he grits out. “But only 20 years. After that you’re not protected by anything. And you’re not allowed to mess with me, either. Got it?”

The idea is actually proving less far fetched than he thought. Or maybe it’s just one of those super unlikely streaks of luck he gets sometimes.

“Deal.”

Macaque nods sharply.

“I will be making sure you’re not trying to cheat me. If you do, you’re dead.”

“Wouldn’t expect anything less.” he states sarcastically.

Macaque sends him a final glare, before disappearing into his shadow, making crystal clear that this incredibly unpleasant conversation was now over.

Finally.

An oven timer sounds, loud and shrill.

“DANG IT.”

Chapter 5 of 21 Questions

better interface on wattpad

  Lily and Alex were now finding themselves in Jade's living room, where they all gathered there with Lucas to play board games. Following their shifts, it was some well-deserved quality time together beyond the workplace.

While playing, there was some food on the table and as Lily took a nugget, she couldn’t help but think about Matt. For the past few days, she hadn’t been able to take him off her mind, thus leaving her friends curious about the cause of her distraction – they knew not to ask her as she would definitely tell them at one point. Lily had never been used to making friends so this was a major change in her life as she never expected to feel attached to someone so quickly. It had only been a month and a half since she and Matt started talking, but the feeling of creating a bond with someone was honestly special to the girl.

~~~

          Following several hours of Uno – and Alex winning almost every round, they grew somewhat weary of the game and collectively agreed that it was time for everyone to depart; especially since they all had work scheduled for the following day. The only exception was Lily, who had chosen to take a day off. Consequently, the two girls bid farewell to Lucas and Jade before making their way back home.

As Lily was driving, she observed Alex who had fallen asleep in the passenger seat – it was to be expected given that it was nearly midnight, and both of them were drained from their long day at work. As they neared their destination, Lily received a text message but chose not to divert her attention from the road. Instead, she decided to wait until they reached their destination to check the message since they were almost home.

When they arrived home, Bernard was waiting for them. The cat couldn’t care less about where they had been – it is a cat – but the way he was sitting right behind the door made the girls giggle a bit as Bernard looked like he was scolding them for coming back so late. After petting their beloved pet, Lily and Alex both went into their respective rooms to have a shower and get changed. 

A dozen of minutes later, Lily was finally able to check her phone and saw that she had received a text from Matt – it being so late was usual for them now as they were both free mostly during the evenings. As it often happened recently, a text from Matt was enough to make a smile appear on Lily's face. She reminded herself that it hadn't been long since they started talking, but their blooming friendship was already cherished by Lily, who was enjoying the unusual change in her life.

Matt

Lily

I had thought ab going at first bc of social pressure yk

Society telling us to keep studying for 10 years then having a job until we fucking die😃

But then I realised I should do my best to find what I actually wanna do

And I'm pretty happy now

That's great

I'm the same way I'd say, my brothers and I knew we wanted to work together and none of us was really keen on going to college 

I love that for you

Can I ask what you guys do?

Shit

Unsent

Damn fuck what do i say

Unsent

Ig we're in social media?

You sound unsure😭

Sorry if it was too personal

No no, it's fine I think

Literally my 2 passions united

Sounds real good

Look at us being fulfilled adults

Star vs the forces of evil

Idk if I ever heard of it but it sounds nice

IT’S AWESOME

It’s still made for 7yo kids so the plot goes w that but they’ve been trying to appeal more to young adults now bc we’ve all been watching since middle school lmao

Bonus is I keep my french up to date

That’s such a talent

I’ve taken classes in hs and ig i liked it enough to keep learning by myself

But i know I’ll have a hard time if i ever manage to go to France

I wouldn't be surprised if black has a crap-ton of mirrors hidden in his room

Might not even be hidden, with how much pride he puts into himself!! (short story under the cut)

"Oh, jeez..." Black muttered to himself as he flipped through the pages of his book.

It was hot on the market right now- a real hit with the population of Planet Bomber. And, right now, Black understood why.

"I think i've fallen in love with you, Marie. Which was a massive mistake on my part."

"Why, dearie? This romance is not a mistake to me."

"It's not a mistake to me, either. But..." Black stared violently at the book as he flipped the pages, his focus unwavering as he invested into the plot.

"I can't dodge the draft. The government's coming to get me in a few days, and i'm....I'm so weak. I don't know if i'm going to come back or not."

"Oh....!"

'I can't believe people posted about crying to this nonsense,' Black thought to himself despite his eyes beginning to water.

"If this is the last time we ever see each other, the last time our lips meet...I want to appreciate it as much as possible, my love."

Black's eyes began to water. The story doesn't end like this, right? The pages are running out. If her husband dies, like that...

"Hey, Black!"

All focus was shattered instantly as White barged in (without knocking, incidentally).

"We need you to- Were you crying just now?" He interrupts himself to question Black.

"What?! No."

"Okay. So, I need you to look after Yellow and Aqua while me and the other bros go fishing."

Oh yeah. Fishing. Doesn't suit a pretty guy like Black. The bait is nasty, the water is nasty, and the fish are nasty. So when White talked about the trip in advance, he already said that he didn't wanna go.

"Why aren't they going?"

"Aqua said that the hook hurts the fish too much, and Yellow wants to draw instead. So they're staying here with you, and I want you to look after them."

"But I don't wanna-"

"Great. Thanks, Black! We're off!"

The door slams shut. Black hears the ship leaving outside.

Goodness.

A good thirty minutes or so passes in silence, before...

"...Um....Eldest brother?" He hears Aqua's voice through the door. "It's a little lonely. May we stay in your room for a little bit?"

Black makes an imprint in the page he was on before shoving the book under his bedsheets.

White's gonna get it when he gets home.

"It's not surprising that you'd want to be in my gorgeous presence. Come in, Aqua!"

She doesn't say anything in response to Black's officious efforts to seem cool, instead opting to open the door slowly and walk on in, Yellow in tow.

"Wow...your room is clean!!" Yellow looks around.

"Only the most luxurious rooms for me, Yellow. You shouldn't be surprised."

He sits up- possibly to keep them from messing with any of his things.

"Wow...is this a garden?"

Aqua points at the miniature greenhouse located at the right of Black's bed. It emits blue light, and is covered in glass. Inside are a set of red roses, covered in water as if they had been misted with care not too long ago.

"I thought you didn't like dirt."

"I don't!" Black walks towards Aqua as they look at the flower garden together. "If you look closely, you'll notice that these flowers are grown with a new hydroponics-related substance."

"That's awesome, Black!"

"I know," the smug bastard replied.

"Wheee! Ahahaha!!"

Black turned around to notice Yellow striking various poses in front of his full-body mirror.

"I wish I had a mirror like this in my room! Do you have any to give me, Black?"

Black knew that he had more than enough mirrors in his room, but...

Actually, no, he didn't. It would take a whole solar system of mirrors to accurately capture his beauty, or so he says.

So, Black responds:

"I'll think on it."

"Weehee!! Yayy!!" Yellow jumps for joy. And then,

"I have an idea! We can get all the mirrors together and then make a maze out of them!"

"Really?"

"Yeah!! Black!! Black!! Can we borrow all your mirrors? What if we set it up before everyone gets home? Then, they can play as soon as they get here!"

"And, these flowers are really pretty. Can I have some to use in my crafts?"

Black sighs to himself.

Well, an impromptu mirror maze would be funny to freak White out with.

And Aqua seems content, at least. So....

"Yeah, sure, whatever."

EPISODE 6 TRIVIA aka YAYY FANTASY BULLSHIT WORLD:

- PRIME DEFENDERS DND CHARACTER SHEETS COMING SOON BABYYYY

- this was all the way leading up to a split the party scenario where vyncent would have gone with minerva on his own BUT that changed all because she said ONE LINE that sounded sus that made charlie immediately like "nope no we cant let him go by himself"

- EVERYBODY LOVES WORMY !!!! "i hope wormy like snuck onto one of our pant legs or something. i want wormy with us always"

- wormy the worm is like this campaign's goobleck (<< context: goobleck was a temporary player character in riptide when gillion went missing and when goobleck stopped . being needed . i guess. he split into like a million pieces and has tiny versions of himself across the entire multiverse goobleck is canon in every campaign. in riptide he lives in the floorboards of the ship and occasionally says things. i only explain this bc im pretty sure they make a goobleck joke in pd at one point but i cant remember when)

- at the end of the episode grizzly said "it was really hard not to say 'vyncent you better come back soon before william falls in love with me'"

- some cool powers the toy guy had that bizly didnt get to show off: a barrel of monkeys that would hinder, immobilize or paralyze; wind up robot toy with a DC 20 WILL CHECK because it makes this loud screeching sound; and a couple more that he didnt say because theyre cool and he might use them later :]

- bizly likes to sit on his roof when he writes. this is SO REAL of him. also when he writes the beginning of an episode he actually draws out a little comic book format and writes in the panels whats happening in each of them. i think thats such a cool process

- they rolled for stats but ended up scrapping those numbers because charlie rolled SO BAD (unsurprising) and it made bizly nervous bc "if you die in the dnd world. you die. none of the bs mutants and masterminds death rules we are playing dnd full tilt william wisp WILL BE DEAD FOR REAL"

you know what i'm SO glad charlie was like "nope no we cant let him go by himself" because LITERALLY as soon as she said that line i also was like oh FUCK no they can NOT let him go alone with this strange lady through the hell portal. so glad they didn't split the party man.

I LOVE WORMY.. he is my favorite too.. also delighted by this goobleck lore?? also dakota third wheelisms 2 their bullshit will never not be funny 2 me. god. he's so real its so delightful.

+ thats so fun......... thats such a cool process i like it sm!! he's so good at specifically like, the visuals & framing of every scene it's always so evocative so kind of storyboarding it like that makes a lot of sense 2 me... i LOVE hearing gm thought processes so this is awesome yayyyy :]

ALSO SHAKING U. YEAH THIS WAS WILD TO READ FIFTEEN MINUTES BEFORE WILLIAM WISP JUMPS OFF A CLIFF HOLDING ONTO SOME GUY AND ALMOST FUCKING DIES. head in hands. great timing!!!
