#yes kakashi is buttercup

[borealwrites]

As you wish

Enjoy this incomplete intro to a KakaIru princess bride Au

Nothing gave Kakashi joy like irritating the farm hand, Iruka, who worked for him and his father. “Farm boy,” Kakashi said, waiting until the brown-haired young man had looked up from weeding the garden, “polish my dogs’ harnesses. I want to be able to see my face in them by tomorrow morning.”

The man’s jaw tightened for a fraction of a second, but then the tension went out of his shoulders and he dipped his head. “As you wish.”

Satisfied with the difficult task he’d given him, Kakashi turned on his heel and returned to the house, ignoring the disapproving look from his father. If Iruk—he meant, if the farm hand—Kakashi refused to use his name—didn’t want so much work, he should start saying no. If anything Kakashi was preparing him for the future! And also… Kakashi glanced outside, then did his best to hide his pout that Iru—the farm hand was still weeding, gloves and long sleeves protecting his arms and a hat hiding away his hair… not that Kakashi was interested in seeing those things!

“There are better ways to get Iruka’s attention than tormenting him,” Sakumo commented, coming up behind him, and if anyone ever asked, Kakashi had known he was there and hadn’t at all been surprised. Also his father was wrong, Kakashi had no interest in Iruka’s attention. The farm hand’s attention. However, anything he said would get turned against him; Kakashi was very familiar with the look in his father’s eyes.

Rather than saying anything about it, Kakashi stood up. “I think I’ll do some reading,” he said while heading back to his room. Not his smoothest exit, but it was better than sitting there while his father attempted to question him. Anything was better than that.

Not three days later, Kakashi carried the house’s empty buckets outside, where Iruka—the farm hand!—was chopping wood for the oncoming winter. It was just the two of them, as his father had left on another one of his journeys.

“Farm boy,” Kakashi ordered as he set them down, “fill these with water.” When he looked up, there was something soft in Iruka’s eyes that made his breath catch in his throat, something that drew out a soft “please?” At the end.

“As you wish.” Never before had Iruka looked at him like that… had he?

[naruto-imagine]

Itachi and neji with a partner who likes to make flower crowns and place it on his head or weave flowers into his hair when he's asleep or during their free time

This is so cute omg.

Itachi

He finds it so hard to sleep and when he finally does get some sleep, he is a deep sleeper and not much can wake him up. So when you have made the sweetest little daisy crown for him, intertwined with long blades of grass and the greenest leaves you could find, you take this opportunity to go over to his bed and lightly place the crown upon his raven coloured head. Making these crowns helps you find peace and you want to share a bit of that peace with Itachi who these days doesn't find such a thing mostly.

When Itachi finally awakens, you're not there but the daisy crown still is. Through his lashes he sees the little white flowers hanging halfway over his eyes. Slowly he blinks. Yet he doesn't react right away; partly because he's still waking up. He instantly knows who did this to him. Itachi doesn't rip off the crown. He keeps it on. Calmly he stands up and takes his Akatsuki cloak from the peg and slips the large coat on. He leaves his room and walks into the lounge area of the Akatsuki base where he saw you knelt before the coffee table with various materials laid out messily on the wooden surface. There was the evidence. More grass, more green leaves and even more daisies. You lift your head, seeing Itachi in the doorway. You couldn't help but smile brightly at the sight of him especially with the flower crown on.

"Good morning, Itachi!" He closed his eyes and silently sighed in his head. He knew why you were so cheerful. Yet he walks over to you and kneels beside you.

"I see you are the culprit." You nod happily to his words.

"Do you like it?" The Uchiha looks into your shiny eyes, so full of hope, so full of life. How could he not like what you had done for him? In a world full of darkness, you always found the light within it. Even in the darkest corners at times. Itachi's onyx eyes softened and the smallest of smiles took shape.

"Yes." His voice was so gentle, just above a whisper. With his lips being right next to your ear, it gave you butterflies in your stomach. It was the little interactions like these which made you fall in love with the Uchiha all over again. He looks down at the objects of your creation, his fingertips brushing over the white petals of the daisies. "Do you need help?" He knew you were more than capable of making them on your own, but he wished to be apart of finding the light. His eyes were falling into the shadows, yet when he looked at you and the things that made you happy... a small glimmer was found in those shadows.

"Thank you, Itachi."

Neji

The Hyuga was not impressed to begin with. In fact he found it quite irritating; your constant ambushes to try and place crowns of flowers on his head. You were never successful in the beginning. With him having the byakugan it was quite the impossible challenge. The situation was very reminiscent to the times Might Guy tried to challenge Kakashi all the time as a kid. You were doing similar things to Neji except you were trying to place flowers on his head. You would try and catch him off guard when he slept, pee breaks, when he was eating, taking baths- but each time he was two steps ahead of you and you were never successful. Until today.

It was not how you wanted it to happen. You were broken with some bad news this morning and the best way you found to deal with it was to sit in the meadow, tugging at the grass and buttercups and tying them together to make a crown. You feel a shadow cast over you and you look up with teary eyes to see Neji. He always had a frown on his face and this time was no different. "What's happened?" He asked sternly. You explained reluctantly what you were told earlier and his expression changed. No longer did he scowl. He looked at you kinder now. With understanding. "I see." Neji looks down at your hands, seeing gold and green between your fingers as you tied the two colours together. Now he was beginning to understand why you did this. A coping mechanism. A way of comforting your heart in times of loneliness or sadness. Without saying anything, he sat down in front of you but with his back facing you. He had his eyes closed and breathed gently through his nose. No words needed to be said.

Your eyes lit up. Is he going to actually let me- "Hurry up before I change my mind." His tiny outburst made you jump and straighten your spine.

"Sorry!" You finished up the buttercup crown as quickly as you could and carefully you place it on his head. He didn't react. Not from what you could see anyway because his back was facing you. By him not moving, it was sending signals to you that you could go on and do more. After all, he understood this was to help calm and comfort you. So he would stay like this for as long as you needed. You smile warmly. Picking at the daisies around you, you placed them in your lap and look at Neji's beautifully long hair. Careful not to hurt him, you lift a few locks of his hair at a time and start to weave the daisies throughout. You must have been there over an hour doing this and all the while Neji sat so good, his arms crossed and eyes closed.

He may not have said much during this interaction, but his actions spoke a thousand words. He would sit as long as was needed to ensure your happiness. And that every bit of sadness that you felt that morning had disappeared into nothing.

You put your car in park and sighed. Finally, you were home after longer than you wanted to admit. But you were happy nonetheless. Which meant you were finally going to address the elephant in the room with Neji. Instead of texting till three am you could finally discuss what you were. You looked at your parents' house in front of you as you got out of the car.

    “(Y/N)!” your mom called from the open kitchen window.

You smiled wide and you trekked up the driveway. The house was quiet save your mom’s washing in the kitchen. You found your way in there and gave her a huge hug.

    “Where’s dad?”

    “In the backyard, he’s doing some gardening and collecting the vegetables for me. You can go see.”

You figured unpacking your car can wait for later. You wanted to go see your dad. You kissed your mom on the cheek before going outside. You were thrown through a loop to not see your dad, but see your friends all there.

    “Welcome home!” they shouted.

You doubled back smiling before rushing to hug them all. You were overwhelmed. You might have only seen them like two weeks ago you were happy to be home. Even if it was only a little while.

    “We missed you.” Naruto laughed pulling you in for another hug.

    “We saw her like a week ago?” Sai replied, confused.

You ruffled Sai’s hair when a set of arms wrapped around your middle. You tensed up before smelling the familiar smell of cigarettes.

    “Traitor.”

    “For?” Shikamaru asked.

    “Dating my keyboard player. Smoking. Or where you spending time with Azuma seeing your godchild?”

    “The latter.”

You rolled your eyes and he let you go but not without rubbing his cheek to yours and pulling away. You huffed and backed away. You didn’t get far before bumping into something cold. A set of hands-on the back of your elbows.

    “You got a tattoo?”

Neji.

You spun around and checked out the inside of your elbow blushing.

    “I uh yeah. I have four actually.”

He looked impressed. Not deterred, he grabbed your arm and saw the grl pwr tattoo on the inside of your elbow. You and Temari have matching ones since you two were two women who basically front a band. You have three others. You have a paper airplane on the back of your shoulder, a galaxy piece on your side, and on your thigh, there was a storm cloud that under a UV or blacklight made the lighting bolt shine. Neji smiled at you. You heard someone gag behind you. You had the vaguest feeling it was Kiba. You turned around and pulled your eye and stuck your tongue at him. He hugged you and you laughed.

You spent the afternoon with your friends and parents until you were nearly falling asleep where you sat. You didn’t realize how tired you were until you let yourself relax against Neji. The night grew colder and the party moved inside. It quickly became a quiet night after that, movies and drinks and crashing on the couch. Well you crashed on the couch everyone else went home to Shikamaru’s to get their car or ride home. Neji once everyone was ready to go brought you to your bedroom and kissed you goodnight before leaving.

    “Are you going to ask her?” Lee asked.

    “Ask her what?” Sai asked guiding Ino to Shikamaru’s.

     “Ask (Y/N) out properly.”

Neji glared at Lee and pulled his jacket closed. He ignored the question which Shikamaru didn’t like. He imposed himself over Neji but Neji was just slightly, only slightly taller. Shikamaru crossed his arms and glared. Which in itself is nerve-inducing.

    “Well, Neji what are your plans with my best friend?”

    “If you must know, I like her. Clearly. So I wish to ask her out.”

    “Hurt her and your ass is mine.”

    “I don’t like you like that at all but I would never, I’m not Koma.”

Shikamaru gave one glare and then nodded. Neji waisted until he looked away to silently release his breath.

    “There’s your answer Lee. Be safe getting back you guys text the group when you all make it back home.” Shikamaru waved before going inside.

Neji gathered Hinata, Naruto, Lee, and TenTen and headed to everyone’s respective homes. He and Lee lived together, Hinata and Naruto lived together, and TenTen lived in the same building at Neji and Lee. Neji didn’t let anyone talk on the car ride back. He didn’t wish to speak about his love life with anyone anymore. Once in the comfort of his own apartment he let his hair down and groaned.

    “Neji- I’m sorry. You guys were just so cozy.”

    “Lee I’m not upset with you. I mean you were just speaking about what you saw.” Neji replied while pulling off his jacket. “She’s back for a year while some of her bandmates finish school. I have time but no time when I can’t even talk to her about my feelings!” Neji flopped onto the sofa neglecting to take off his shoes.

    “You could talk maybe Guy and Kakashi-sensei.” Lee sat by him.

Neji didn’t hate that idea. It would have been better than talking to his own father. Not that he didn’t want to, but he didn’t think his dad could help. His mom made the first move on his dad. But with Guy-sensei it was an accident with him and Kakashi but probably better advice than his father so maybe Lee was onto something there.

        fur culture changed the admin to omnipotent friend

*eye roll*

    im in danger

The chat died down after that and you fell back asleep. Neji laughed. This chat has bounced admin to admin and the nicknames change often enough to keep anyone entertained. Neji himself got ready for bed. Rock Lee stayed up a bit longer than him to do some work for his up-and-coming school week. He was student teaching this week.

The next morning everyone woke to a few changes in the group chat. You changed a few nicknames and the title

       the void calls me forth

    (y/n)! how dare you call me a gremlin.

    bc im not kiba and you will not bully me

    I deserve this honestly. All though these were good changes. neji is pretty, sai clever pun and shikamaru deserved it. you should have been this admin from the start

whoji

    we told you that from the start, and two she came up with half the original nicknames

the boulder

    teenagers scare me.

You snorted and walked down the stairs. Kiba just accepted his fate. It was almost perfect. Your mom left you a note about her plans for the day. Your father was there for the day but he was engrossed in work. You ate something quickly and popped your head in to say hello to him. He waved at you and went about your day.

n. hyuuga

    Good morning. Can you meet me at The Blossom for coffee?

you

    sure. totally. see you in ten?

n. hyuuga

    Yes. Of course. Cannot wait.

You smiled to yourself walking down the stairs. Your mom was gone for the day. You could hear the television on. You popped your head in to see your dad watching a show about rocks. You smiled while he just read in his rocker the noise in the background. You leaned on the frame waiting for him to notice you. It takes him a moment before he looks up from his book and he smiles.

    “What’s up buttercup?”

    “I’m going to get coffee, do you need anything while I’m out?”

He shakes his head no.

    “Go have fun. I’ll see you later.”

You smiled and blew him a kiss. Walking into the kitchen you grabbed your jacket and purse off the coat rack. You slipped your phone into your jacket pocket and started on your walk. The great thing is The Blossom was a five-minute walk from your house. The walk, while short, gave you time to reflect. You thought about Neji. You probably always liked him, it went through phases where you liked him more than a friend, but then Koma happened. That six months of your life where Neji didn’t cross your mind. But now it all seems to be falling into place.

As you approached the cafe, Neji was already there. He looked beautifully aloof. You quietly walked up to him while he scrolled on his phone. His light skin contrasting against his dark hair and the bright red t-shirt and checkered pants to match. You honestly were a mixture of both impressed and intimidated by him. He always looked like he had his life together. You looked down at yourself and how you were dressed. You layered tights under overalls with a baggy sweater on top. You felt like you weren’t dressed well enough to compete with him. He looked up at you and smiled. He gently pulled you to him and kissed your forehead. You weren’t sure what you two were but you were content.

    “This is my treat, come on.”  He smiled opening the door for you, “I picked this place because no one would come here or neither do I think our friends care enough to find us. This place has chai lattes and oat milk which I know are your favorites.”

You smiled, cheeks becoming redder.

    “You remembered?”

    “Of course,” he responded. It’s because I love you. But he didn’t let her know that.

You held onto the crook of his elbow whilst he ordered. He ended up ordering for both of you while you had a small smile on your features. He ordered the chai latte for you and a simple London fog drink. You weren’t expecting that. As if he read your mind.

    “I had a small cup of coffee before I decided to ask you out. Do you want anything else?” he asked.

    “Do you want to split a coffee cake?”

Neji nodded. His eyes lit up like you hung the stars in the sky. You felt very on par with Neji, finally. You and he walked over to a table situated in the corner by the window. It was a kind of chilly morning for how early in September that it was. You rested your head on your hand looking between him and the window before you asked.

    “Don’t you work on Monday? Like a new startup position at a family-owned accounting firm?” You asked, smirking.

Neji smiled at your question crossing his legs and leaning over to rest his head on his hands, thinking for a moment to formulate an answer for you.

    “Yes but technically no. My days got changed because I’m going back to school for my masters so my uncle has me working sparingly.”

    “Your masters? That’s great!” you smiled excitedly.

He looked very bemusingly at you. He offered a hand to you to hold across the table. The two of you shared the cake and drinks in silence. No need to talk currently. The two of you spoke sparingly and worked on individual projects. You worked on songs and he worked on some classwork.

    “Neji. What are we?” you asked.

The keyboard clicking stopped. You felt your body tense. Had you pushed a boundary? He was hesitating and you were getting progressively more anxious. He started wringing his hands, but you quietly waited for him to answer you. Seconds felt like hours to you waiting.

    “I-I knew this was coming but I-” He sighed softly, “I was just trying to feel out how you felt before I spoke to you about me.” Neji explained, “(Y/N) I have liked you probably since I was fifteen. But our lives never seemed to line up. Call it destiny if you will always seem to escape me. I dated, you dated. I got scared of my feelings for you but not anymore I can’t. I don’t want to. I- I want to take care of you, and be with you and support you.” He ended up just muttering to himself.

Your heart clenched watching him. You smiled that he was being honest with you. Even though he was avoiding your eye contact. You reached out to grab his hand to get his attention. He slowly let you coax his hand into yours while you figured out how to respond.

    “Thank you, Neji for being honest with me. I know how you feel. You bore your feelings to me for how you feel. I accept your feelings.” you replied, smiling. “And I- I would love nothing more than this to work out. It would need work. Between music and you being in school again it won’t be easy, and I’m sorry for that. I wish I can be more for you.”

    “You’re perfect enough.” He brought your hand to his lips to kiss. “You are worth the work.”

Kiba was passing by when he stopped and did a double-take. He was convinced that he saw you and Neji but he wasn’t sure.

       the void calls me forth

fur culture

    r (y/n) and neji on a date?

ino-yeet-chi

    why would that be ur concern if they were kiba?

fur culture

    b/c im not being left out of this revelation once it happens like i was when lee came out. also i see them..

Kiba was squinting at the frosted glass window. Neither you nor Neji knew what was going on in that chat; both of you had your phones picked up. Kiba needed to know so he quietly snuck into the cafe and to a booth on the other side of the store from you two. Not that you would have noticed, either way, you and Neji were in your own little world. It looked like a date to Kiba.

       the void calls me forth

ino-yeet-chi

    KIBA NO. LEAVE THEM ALONE. SHINO GET YOUR BOY

        glasses has left the chat

Neji laughed to himself at something you said. He then leaned in to grasp your chin to press a soft kiss to your mouth. Not wanting to push you. Kiba could hardly believe it. He got up and slipped into the bathroom.

       the void calls me forth

fur culture

    Holy- DUDE

You felt your phone vibrate and Neji felt his too. You both grabbed your phones and checked the messages. His eyes shot up and scanned for Kiba keenly aware. You were confused. You also looked over the messages and glared.

    “He’s here somewhere.” you groaned.

Neji pinched the bridge of his nose and looked at you almost apologetically.

    “I’m sorry.”

You shook your head. You grabbed his back and yours and pulled him from the cafe.

    “Don’t be sorry. I know where we can go where no one will find us.”

You and Neji dipped through the streets. He allowed himself to be pulled by you while you brought him to a home. He didn’t recognize this house. You explained it was your grandfather’s home, but he wasn’t home. You had a treehouse in the backyard that you wanted to show him. He was surprised to see this.

    “Whoa.”

    “I know.”

You climbed up the rope ladder and Neji followed closely as you went up. Inside the treehouse, it looked older but sometimes you still come up to be alone or to play music. Neji stood hunched because it was made for you who had never been very tall. He looked around and smiled.

    “Finally.” he groaned.

He grabbed your face softly and kissed you properly. You gasped quietly and he kept one hand on your face and the other on your waist to make sure this was real. You both needed air eventually and he actually started to giggle. You laughed and the two of you spent the afternoon in the early fall air laughing, stealing kisses, and being in each other's presence.

Hello there, babe! 😄😄❤

So I saw your ask meme, and I fell in love with it! It was so cuteee! Now you got me asking a lot of questions because I really want to get to know you better! 🥺🥺🥺👉🏻👈🏻

Here it goes-

For the fandom:

Peony

Snapdragon

Daffodil

For the About my Writing:

Lily

Sweetpea

Begonia

And for the About you:

Buttercup

Sunflower

That is a lot now that I'm seeing it. 🤦‍♀️😂 You can choose to skip questions if you'd like to! I have a personal question as well... I promise this would be the last!

How are you in your new blog? 😊❤

I love youuuu AAAAA take care as always, babe! 😄❤

Hello dear!! 🥰thank you so much for sending these in, it makes my heart soar that you wanna know about lil old me 😭😭I am so honored! I will try not to talk your ear off with these answers, but will put the answers under the cut in any case since I can be a little long-winded.... 😨

wanna take part in the ask meme? check out the post I made here!

Peony - My favorite character (I didn’t notice that you specified a particular fandom, so I will be going with Naruto since that’s been my obsession as of late. I hope that’s okay! 🥺) 

Back when I watched Naruto in middle school, I would’ve told you it’s Kakashi like 1000%. And don’t get me wrong, I LOVE him and he will always have a special place in my heart. But now that I’m rewatching as an adult, there’s something really special to me about Shikamaru. He’s inspiring as such a smart person, but it’s the moments where he has to act on emotion and gut feeling alone that makes me really love him. To me, he’s one of the most well-rounded characters and the most fun to listen to and watch in the show. 

Snapdragon - Least favorite character 

I’m going back to being basic LOL but it has to be Sakura. I mean aside from being unholy levels of obnoxious in the original series, she just does not make good choices in Shippuden. Like, ever. For example, when she decides to declare her love for Naruto out of nowhere thinking it’ll take the burden of saving Sasuke off his back. There was just no instance in which that plan was going to work in her favor. (one instance of many). It just hurts me that a female lead character was written to be nothing more than a romantic side plot tbh. (So I guess I just hate her writing and not her necessarily)

Daffodil - Character I’m most attracted to

Minato, hands down. Like yes I’m thirsty for pretty much the entire cast, but Minato just takes the cake every time for me. It has to be the smile because I just swoooooon every single time. I am obsessed with his and Kushina’s dynamic and I’m jealous I just adore how kind and gentle and sweet he is. (This reminded me that I should probably write some headcanons for him) 

Lily - My favorite kind of fanfiction to write

Romantic, established-relationship stuff. I am a hopeless romantic and am always thinking about potential date scenarios to write about while I’m out. If there is no point to it besides seeing two characters cuddling and telling each other how much they love them with a serving of unnecessary environment description, then that is my bag. 

Sweet Pea - How do I get in the mood to write the above genre?

I like to hunker down in a comfy spot with some jazz. That music in particular makes me feel very relaxed and soft, so I can better imagine the characters in a similar mindset. I also have to be alone and somewhere where I know I won’t be disturbed, since if I lose my flow my motivation goes down the toilet. 

Begonia - Favorite and Least Favorite Part of Writing

My absolute favorite part of writing is the brainstorming part. I can vomit out ideas for days on end and meticulously put together how the story will go. To me, it feels like the possibilities are endless at this stage and I can do anything I want! There is no right or wrong in brainstorming and whatever I can think up is on equal footing with each other. But my least favorite has always been the dreaded..... EDITING.... Blegh. I despite reading my own writing over because I always find ways for it to suck and I get tired reading a paragraph over and over. I can generally proofread real quick once or twice but if I have to sit down and REARRANGE PARAGRAPHS? pass. 

Buttercup - What I like to do when I’m not writing

generally speaking if I’m not at my laptop, I’m probably playing some sort of video game! Right now, I’m playing Cyberpunk 2077, Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla. So I am going very slow with the plots but loving it! And if I'm not playing video games, I’m drawing! I’m not very good but sometimes it’s a way to help me get in the mood to write if I’m not feeling motivated. 

Sunflower - Favorite and Least Favorite food/drink

I adore Japanese food of any kind, but I will almost always gravitate towards sushi. Sushi counters where the chef makes the individual pieces right in front of you are my absolute favorite. As for favorite drink, it has to be boba/milk tea (I just had some today!). I’m always on the lookout for new flavors or places, but if I go to a new cafe I’ll most likely choose anything ube/purple sweet potato flavored. Least favorite probably has to be uhhhh anything matcha flavored. I know I’ll get beat for that but just no.... I don’t like it... Least favorite drink is, you guessed it, green tea xD

as for your question!! I am doing fantastic in this new blog, I feel like I have more freedom to write about more things and interact with more great people!! I’m really excited to see where things go from here :) I love you tooooo!! take care and stay safe babie!!! 😭❤️❤️

[adventurous-blob]

Episode Gladio commentary!! Here i go!!

Imma go easy since its my first time also thATS WHAT SHE SAID

anyways, difficulty and immaturity aside, time to begin.

Kay so Gladio's episode is 'bout self discovery? dudes just pissed Ravus beat him I guess? I mean, fair enough but he leaves noctis and they go do like a dungeon and it's just?? It all seems really chill considering he's the Kings shield.

Eh, non-sensicle rambling aside.

Okay so im guessing its gunna be like Gladio telling the story which i'll be playing- neato.

"Just a scratch, the other guy got off a lot worse." Yeah, uh, suure.

"Worse than looking like some kind of thug?" Damn Noctis, chill your beans bro.

Oooo 'Blade master', can't get a title cooler than that, right?

Oh gorsh,,, I suck at controlling Gladio,, This'll be interesting...

Yep. This'll definitely be interesting. Even with the tutorial.

He's just casually sat surrounded by voretooth corpses, as you do.

"Are you mentally prepared?" Cor, sweetie, Gladio seems to just be a 'suck it up, buttercup' type i think he's subconsciously mentally prepared even when he isn't consciously.

"Unless i get more power." Gladio you sound like Vergil from devil may cry, just don't stab yourself with a big sword and go power mad, yeah?

Cor is so serious,, but like he's sort of soft too,, like you can see he cares by what he says and stuff, y'know?

its like 'You go fight that thing you probably aren't strong enough to fight yet!! but stay safe too! don't want you dyin' on me!!' except, more like Cor would say it.

I feel like i've heard the name Gilgamesh before?

Gosh i love Cor and Gladio so much,, they're stronk boyos.

"Alright i've got this." Yeah!! yeah you do!! Thats the spirit Gladio!!

oh uh i've only just noticed but there are bodies everywhere... hecc...

Okay they're alive but also dead now i killed them. Also,, the soundtrack?? that battle music?? hell yeah, thats some good stuff.

Ooo waterslide!!!!

Eheheh Gladio rode the snek. ooo this is spoopy...

Wait we made it to the blade master already?? wha??

Ah okay i was meant to fail against Gilgamesh, that was a little frustrating at first...

"If you do not fear death" yeah i fear that Gladio lets lEAve

"So the blademaster..."

"He's a master of blades. What-- where you expecting something profound?"

coming from someone who plays mainly rpg games i expected it to be something with flying swords? like bahamut except smaller and weaker y'know?

also are we inside a tree??? the whole of this so far and like chapter uhh 4-5 (the one where they're in the crater, i apologise for poor memory lmao) just reminds me of devil may cry 5.

Awhhh, they're eating Cup Noodles togetherr,,

oh hecc yes SAVE.

Option: tell me more

My brain: tell me More, tell me more, tell me mo-o-ore, but Gladio singing it.

imma throw hands with Gilgamesh how dare they deem cor unworthy he's a stronk bean

"Keep your eyes and ears open."

*open area appears*

Me, immediately: I don't like this.

Bdhshjdndjs tHEY DID THE THING!!! Where Cor jumps on Gladio's back and then brings down a strike on the enemy!! Aaaa teamwork is so great!!!

"do you have the strength to survive these trials?" uh I sure hope he does

*looking at a body stabbed into the wall*

You okay there pal?

Sword stuck in the ground: *has the option to touch it*

I'm sorry but my whole play through of final fantasy I couldn't take most things gladio said serious because I'm immature and kept making dirty jokes but this,, this right here has to be the peak point where I could make a dick joke or say 'i dunno that's pretty gay Gladios.'

"hand holding stops here" no Cor stay please ;~;

Sometimes I hate the combat in this game, not because I think it's bad,, just,, gladio,,, in enclosed spaces,, with lots of foes,, it's not good for camera angles.

Ah yes. Touch the glowy thing. That's ALWAYS a great idea!

The soul keeps calling Gladio "young warrior" and sometimes I forget Gladio is like only 23? Like I dunno, he seems older? But at the same time?? It's like right? I dunno? Maybe it's his looks or personality who knows.

COR!!!! HEYA!! :3

"you wanna know why?" I mean, hell yeah. duh.

Awh he's worried bout Noct but i agree tbh, plus, Noct is fine they're just fighting that big dragon thing with Aranea!! :3

okay i can hear growling and snarling thats never good, but maybe its just a big puppy?? No??? awh okay ;~;;

Gladio with a gaint pupper would be adorable

ANYWAYS i'm getting side tracked again oops

I CAN SWING COLUMNS?? HELL YEAH!!!!

Can i just use columns to defeat the blade master? just like 'You might be the blade master but iM BOB THE BUILDER' and just yeet a column at him??

Every column i see i just want to yeet now. In honour of yeeting columns, i paused and made a poem:

my nam is Gladio

and am strong

i hav sword

i tri do no wrong

when wyvern hit

and i do poor damage

it seems liek

somethin i must manage

so when wyvern

has me beat

i pick up a column

and i yeet

hope you enjoyed.

bACK TO THE GAME!!

tOuuCh the soWoRd

HELL YEA COLUMNS TO YEET!! ALSO WHAT IS THAT IT LOOKS COOL!

bdjdndj i want an enkidu now they're so cooll!!!

toucH the gLowly

yOu Can BREAK THE BOXES??? HELL YEAH!!!

Actually Cor can i go home please??

also pft the soul like "Yeah well i knOw betteR." i can't.

however, i can yeet column at this bandersnatch and i will.

i picked up a column after the fight and i dunno how to put it down so i guess Gladio has a Pet column now. Imma call it stony.

NUH i got rid of stony ;~; see you in the afterlife stony.

The way Cor describes the blademasters eyes makes me think of Kakashi from Naruto with his sharingan.

also Gladio's confidence and positivity give me life.

final chamber- this is it!

a red giant?? really?? damn it.

i have my headphones on full and the soul just said "Come here to die, have you?" and it made me jump

"You looking to die again?" Gladio is not having this souls bs

it's talking about Cor and i am ready to tHROW HANDS,,, Cor is bean.

Cor giving Gladio a final warning but not stopping him makes my heart feel weird,,,

Awh that lil grin, Aaa the "Come back alive, be safe Gladio." has me soft™️

"He'd better be ready for me." Uh, Gladio, thats whAT SHE SAID!

Oh hecc here we go!! Heya Gilgamesh!! Time to defeat you!! :3

Gilgamesh isn't actually thatbhard to fight??

oH SO NOW HE HAS AN ARM geez lemme guess he's stronger and has more health too now?

Oh look i'm right!

Okay yea he's a lot stronger i don't like this but Gladio can do it!!! I believe in him!!!!!

Also after realising a tactic i have defeated Gilgamesh and i was right Gladio could do it!!!! :D

"I may be all muscle no mettle, but i'm gunna keep protecting Noct the only way i know how." YOu GO GLADDY!!!! I'm v v proud!!!!

Awhhh Gilgamesh is actually pretty cool dude i like him. Awhhhh he's giving Gladio his sword!! I'm so happy aaa!!

I really like Gladio and all of this and aaaa im so hAPPY for Him!!!!

AAAAAA COR LOOKS HAPPY AND GLADIO GAVE HIM HIS SWORD BACK BUT COR SAID HE COULD KEEP IT AND JSJDJEJDJDJJD I MIGHT CRY

they're just talking and its really nice and i'm not crying but i'm overwhelmingly happy for them!!

wait Gladio got the scar on his eye from dealing with a bully? damn i need to finish brotherhood, huh.

Prompto said "The more you know" and the gif popped up in my head and i'm lauGhing so damn much why is that so fUnny???

"What can I say? I'm worth the wait." Noctis,, sweetheart,, Foreshadow mucH XD

Awhhh, i'm really happy for Gladio. I'm actually really happy with that whole DLC to be honest. It was fun to play and i feel i kinda got more of a look into Gladio's and Cor's characters and such, y'know? That, plus i got better at playing as Gladio too! And getting better at stuff like that is always good! Practice makes perfect after all!

So yeah, hope you enjoyed my commentary of Episode Gladio!
