UDAM - One Hero: The Warden / The Hero of Ferelden

You are called upon to submit yourself to the taint for the greater good. From this moment forth, you are a Grey Warden.

[ziracona]

The tendency in fandom to take every white girl with short hair, regardless of the status of their canonical interest or lack of interest in women and explicit interest and/or sexual history with everything but, proclaim them a lesbian queen, and then ignore or absolve them of every single horrific act they take in fiction because of this. Is not doing feminism. Women. Lesbians. Or anyone. Any favors. It’s just bad.

Somehow. Some people really do apparently need to hear that...being any specific sexuality...is not a personality trait.

And also. Women aren’t inherantly less vile than men (or anyone non-binary, agender, fluid, etc, else), and whatever bad deeds they do should be judged based on just that—on the deeds, and their context. Not their sexuality, imagined sexuality, or their gender. Becuase none of those things effect whether committing murder is bad. At all. Not even a little. And none of them. Is even a personality trait. Affecting the character’s value as a person.

It’s cool, and good, to see characters with minority identities. And it’s real nice. When it’s whatever you are. But them being whatever. Is not a personality trait. Just a fact. And sometimes. People of any type. Are not good. Pretending any minority status—gender, sexuality, race, disability, neurotype, etc—is a get out of jail free card? Is not. Doing them. Or anyone. Any favors. Personality disorder. Doesn’t make you bad. Also doesn’t make you good. Your actions do. Acting like Amy from Gone Girl did nothing wrong when she date rapes her boyfriend & then frames him for doing that to her & ruins his life, then blackmails her husband who is terrified of being murdered by her into staying with her for the sake of the child she made at a fertility clinic with his sperm without his consent, bc she’s a woman. Isn’t good. Men aren’t more deserving of violence than women. Neither is anyone else. Jane. Left an infant child in an unheated car in subzero weather in a snow storm with zombies around that easily would hear it cry and go eat it. So she could lie and say she already let zombies eat it to bait a man with easily triggerable PTSD who had just lost his family to zombies for the second time into starting a fight. Because he was injured, unarmed, weak, down an eye, and 50, while she was fit, mid 20s, healthy, and armed with a hunting knife. Because she wanted an excuse to kill him without looking bad, because she wanted the 11 year old girl she was co-parenting with him, all to herself. And her immediately responding to the dude throwing a punch by stabbing him in the stomach to escalate the fight from brawl to life or death, then losing her knife, and instead of telling him the baby was alive & she’d made it up to start a fight which could have at any point ended the fight, begging the 11 year old child to gun down her oldest surviving friend with her own hands in cold blood so that she’d get what she wanted? Is evil. As is crying on the 11 year old and using pity as a weapon to get her to stay with her if she gets mad and wants to leave when she realizes Jane staged the whole thing for an excuse to murder, and so is after realizing like a month later that she is pregnant, committing suicide, and leaving the 11 year old that she just manipulated into killing her oldest surviving friend/completely isolated on purpose so she could have her to herself, totally alone in the apocalypse to care for an infant. Jennifer’s Body? Is a fantastic film. And Jennifer didn’t deserve any of what happened to her. But not one single boy she kills during the course of that film deserved it—and explicitly so. Even the guy who could easily have been a meathead jock bully is outside alone crying becuase his best friend just died and he loved him before she decides to lure him off and eat him alive. And acting like it’s totally fine & Needy should have just let her keep eating boys instead of killing her? Is fucked up. None of them deserved to die. And no one deserves death innately more because they are or are not something that is just a factual designator of their makeup as a human. The exchange student was scared and alone and nice, the catholic kid was sweet and Needy’s friend, Chip is a bad boyfriend but he meant well and being stupid doesn’t mean you deserve to die. And this girl ate them alive. That’s not funny. Or cool. Or fine becuase they were dudes. Gertrude Robinson? Chose again and again to betray people who loved her, or trusted her—sold out victims of awful trauma to their worst nightmares. Killed friends in the worst possible ways, like it was nothing. Michael loved her, and trusted her, and tried to care for her, and she without faltering fed him to his worst nightmare and forced him to become it. There is nothing excusable about that action.

Jude Perry? Has 0 redeeming features. Didn’t even stay faithful to her poor gf & was creepy obsessed w Agnes. Literally murdered her co-worker friend just because he was happy, and she wanted to destroy things: that’s it. She didn’t even dislike him. Murdered him because he had a wife and kid and house and it seemed fun, then burned down his house, took his wife’s money, and now checks in on his kid every so often in case he ever recovers from the trauma she inflicted enough to be fun to kill. There is literally nothing good about this woman. Yes. I mean that. Because being a lesbian? Is just a thing. There is no g/b tag, there is no tag at all. Amanda Young? Got kidnapped and tortured and forced to choose between killing a man who couldn’t resist but was conscious to watch her, and letting herself die, and she killed him. Then, instead of responding to that trauma with guilt or responsibility or anger at her captor, joined up with him and started helping him kidnap people just like her. She was not forced, she was not lied to. It does not matter if John was manipulative; she is a grown ass woman and like all grown ass adults, responsible for her own actions and choices. She did not get manipulated pitifully into this—she did not go unwillingly. She volunteered, with a happy vengeance, became obsessed with John and in love with him, despite his complete lack of interest. And she did not even just do what he did. She decided on her own that no one deserved redemption, & she killed them for fun in traps that wouldn’t let them go even if they did whatever awful thing the trap demanded as a price for life, just for the fun and power trip of watching them die helpless & in agony. That was all her, & her alone. She sat in a house full of people slowly dying from organ decomposition over the course of a few hours, for no crime worse than drug addiction—the thing she of all people should have been most sympathetic to—knowing full well at any time she could have saved them and stopped the game, and did nothing. She held a woman in her arms and stroked her head lovingly while she let her die in one of the most inhumane ways possible for the crime of having not been able to break an addition. She got saved by a 16 year old child multiple times, who had done nothing more than shoplift, and stood by while he had to watch a man get his brains blown out, another burn to death in an oven. As his organs slowly dissolved too. Watched the kid kill another human being & massively traumatize himself to save her life. And responded to that by attacking & knocking him out, tying him up, locking him up for days in a tiny safe bound and gagged with an oxygen supply to keep him alive, to be a piece in another game. Left his father, who had shown up to try & save him, to starve to death in chains in a horrible abandoned rotting room, & never even told him his son was alive. Let every other addict die horribly, let that kid sustain permanent damage to his organs that will kill him young, antidote taken or not, took his dad from him, & went back to torturing without a second thought. Kidnapped a woman whose worst crime was being a doctor & dating someone while maybe separated instead of divorced from her husband, put her in a trap that would take her head off with shotgun blasts, threatened her for fun, & then killed her even after she did everything she was asked, because it was more important to her that the old man she was obsessed with think she was special and great, than for the other woman to get to stay alive another day & go home to her daughter. There is nothing sympathetic about Amanda. She’s just not only evil, but too spineless to take responsibility for her own choices & actions, & tries to hide behind a “UwU I am sad & lonely & damaged & having trauma means I can literally torture people to death to feel special & it’s really tragic and sympathetic about me, not evil. Uhm. Some people??? Commit torture-murders?? To cope??” And acting like she’s somehow a victim in this becuase she is a pretty white girl with short hair? Is fucked. Up.

But every. God damn. Time. I see this. Please. It needs. To stop. People go: “UwU pretty girl short hair want” & I go “Ok. I see where u. Come from. Indeed.” But then. They go. “Girl pretty I like. So she was blameless. For this atrocity.” Those words...

Every day. I wake up. Thinking of Janic saying. Iconically. “At least me and Regina George know we’re mean,” and I weep inside. Because I cannot fathom. Or stomach. The lack of responsibility. I will kill. Characters who cannot admit they are bad. Myself. But somehow. They become. Flames. To moths. Of the “UwU pretty white girl short hair. We stan. Victim. Queen. Love her. Never done wrong.” Boy. We all done wrong. Even all my faves. At least once. I think. ...not if we count dogs probably, but people, yes. Ok. Anyway. All this is to say. Characters. Should be judged. Based on what they did. And why. And the aftermath. Not a grouping tag. I don’t mean any of these. Make bad characters. At all. Amy is a great character. So is Jennifer. So are most of them. I have quite affection even. For Jeneffer specifically. But you can like. Character. Without proclaiming. Them perfect humans. Who never did a thing wrong. Or their acts somehow. Justifiable. And ok. And you better stop saying. Ok. Because done. To men. Men do not. Deserve violence. Any more. Than anyone else. No one deserves violence defacto for factors. Outside their control. Wtf. Really people. It’s ok too. For character. To do much bad stuff. And still like character. Villains. And often just complex characters. Sometimes just characters. Do stuff. That is bad. It’s not supposed to be not their fault. Or ok. Also. Women are not a sisterhood. Of flawless beings. Who never hurt anyone or do any bad stuff. They can. And are. Often purpotrators. Of awful acts. And when they are. It is still. Very bad. Still. An awful act. Same level. Even. Of awful. Wild.

In conclusion.

Having short hair. While a girl. Doesn’t make her a butch queen. Who is absolved of all responsibility for that murder she committed. It just makes her a girl with short hair. That did a murder. I’m gonna. Kill someone. Too. And if I chop my hair off. I guess I can get away with it.

the fact that every single drag queen that was invited to the gala was out-camped by at least four different cis straight men is absolutely appalling to me, send tweet

"Yo, Buckley!" 

The door jingled, alerting your entrance. Eddie held up a pair of customized Converse by the laces. Robin's eyes lit up. 

"Holy shit!" she squealed, walking around the counter. "You’re a dream, Munson.” 

"Flatterer," Eddie grinned, tossing her the shoes. "No charge."

She inspected the designs, all carefully hand-painted by Eddie. "Dude, you're awesome. Y/N, tell your boyfriend he's awesome."

"I remind him of that fact everyday," you grinned, pecking Eddie's jaw. "He knows."

"I know," Eddie smirked. 

"Well, unfortunately, your other boyfriend sucks," she informed you. "He's been moping all week. And he left me to stack the new releases by myself!" 

You frowned. "That doesn't sound like him. Where is he?" 

Robin rolled her eyes. "I made him go pick up the tapes Keith ordered. Hopefully he eats something—that’s probably why he’s so cranky.”

"Aw, damn. We were gonna get his measurements to start his jean jacket," said Eddie. ”Don’t tell ‘im, though. It’s a secret.”

"Eds wanted to match," you explained. "Because he's a dork."

"You said it was a good idea, baby," he pouted. 

"Both things can be true. It's very cute, honey," you assured. "He'll love it."

"Custom jacket is a great gift," Robin agreed, already lacing up her new shoes. "That's probably the one thing Steve's never gotten for his birthday."

You and Eddie both went still.

"Birthday?" he echoed. 

"Yeah, it's next Sunday, remember? I made him look up his astrology chart and y'know what? A lot of it makes sense." She twirled her finger over her temple in a crazy sign. "Good luck."

"Wait, back up." You held up a hand. "Steve's birthday is next week?"

"Uh, yeah? Don't you know his birthday?" 

"He never said anything." Eddie's face scrunched. "What the hell?" 

"How do you know it, Robs?" you asked. 

"I learned it by accident when Steve filled out his job application. You really didn't know? You guys have been dating for a while."

"We figured it had passed." You frowned. "He was just gonna let it come and go without ever telling us."

"Hang on. Maybe he doesn't know you usually tell serious relationships your birthday," Eddie reasoned. "This is the longest relationship he's had."

You thought for a moment, then rapped your knuckles on the counter. 

"Actually, we're gonna take off.”

Eddie’s head swiveled to you. “What?”

“We have things to discuss.” You gave him a look, then turned to Robin. “Can you tell Steve we'll meet him at home?"

"You got it," Robin said, giving a two-finger salute. "Godspeed. And please pull that stick out of his ass!" 

“Buckley wouldn’t lie about Steve’s birthday, would she?”

“No,” you said, watching the butter melt in Mrs. Harrington’s luxury cast-iron pan. “Definitely not.”

You and Eddie had gotten a copy of the Harringtons' house keys before you'd become something more. After an incident involving dead power lines and Eddie breaking into a window to make sure Steve wasn't bleeding or possessed, Steve had gone ahead and given you keys. He'd said he trusted you with his life—and that Eddie was to never break in again. 

"'Kay, we have to approach this tactfully, sweetheart. How 'bout this: I'll bring up my own birthday first. Then it'll be a natural turn into a conversation about his."

"Or," you said, flipping the grilled cheese onto a plate. "We use a tried and true method that boyfriends and girlfriends have used for thousands of years: food and sweet lovin'."

Eddie turned on the puppy eyes. "Do I get one? I'll tell you my birthday too, baby."

"I already know your birthday, big guy," you snorted, setting down another sandwich in front of him. 

He pumped his fist. "Another victorious win."

You dusted your hands and leaned on the kitchen island. 

"We can't pressure him. That'll only make him retreat,” you mused. “I just hope he doesn't not trust us or anything."

"Nah," Eddie assured around a mouthful of sandwich. "Maybe he's just not a birthday kinda guy."

The 733i pulled into the driveway, engine shortly cutting out. Then you heard Steve's footsteps up to the door and the key turning in the lock. 

"Honey, you're home!" Eddie called gleefully. 

Steve looked up, startled, then relaxed when he realized it was you two. 

"Oh, hey. Robin said you came by. Sorry I missed you—Keith put me on this stupid delivery thing."

"No prob," Eddie said, rising and wiping his hands on his jeans. "We'd much rather have your undivided attention, hot stuff."

Before Steve could remove his uniform, Eddie pulled him into a deep kiss, hands sliding into the seat pockets of Steve's jeans. Steve stumbled from the intensity, clinging to Eddie's shoulders. He melted instantly. Eddie cupped the back of Steve's neck, coaxing out a whine. 

"Eds," you groaned. “Come on.”

Steve, puffy-lipped and dazed, watched you with wide eyes as Eddie kept him near. 

"What? Too much?" 

"At least let him sit down before you suck face," you chided, pulling out a chair. 

"Was just doing the sweet lovin' bit," Eddie mumbled. 

Steve eagerly turned to you, clearly hoping for a match in affection. You gave in a little, since he'd had a bad day, but it was important to save the main goods for the interrogation. 

"Eat," you ordered after pressing a few quick kisses to his lips. "Robin said you missed lunch."

"Snitch," he sighed, picking up the sandwich. "Wasn't that big of a deal."

"You already don't eat breakfast as often as you should. Do I need to come down here and force feed you pancakes every morning?" 

"Well." Steve swallowed. "Not gonna say no."

“You are so lucky you’re cute.”

“How ‘bout me, baby?” Eddie beamed. “Am I cute too?”

“Oh, the cutest,” you cooed, pulling him down by his leather jacket collar and nipping playfully at his lips. 

“Tease,” he complained. 

“We’ll get there.” 

Soon, Steve was down to the crusts of his sandwich. You propped yourself on your elbows, smiling sweetly.

“Want another? Or I can make you something else?”

Steve blinked, toast crumbs on his mouth. “I’m okay, baby. Thank you.”

Phase two. Eddie leapt up to herd Steve over to the couch under the guise of “helping” him take off his uniform. After washing and putting the plate back in the cupboard, you joined them, taking Steve’s other side. The TV was on, turned down low. Eddie gently finger-combed through the slight tangles in Steve’s hair. His lids had started to droop. You pressed a kiss behind Steve’s ear, cupping his chin. Then you traced the freckles on his collarbone, just resting your lips on him. He leaned into your touch.

“Everything okay, sweetie?” you asked mildly, not breaking your movements.

“Hmm? Yeah, everything’s fine,” Steve answered drowsily. 

“Work’s okay?” 

“Work’s fine. Jus’ today was a pain.”

“Buckley mentioned you haven’t been feeling your best,” Eddie said. 

“Oh. Um, I dunno. I'm fine, really."

You glanced at Eddie, who nodded. Steve's hand was on your hip; not wanting anything, just feeling you. 

"We heard it's your birthday soon."

The hand stiffened. You remained wrapped around Steve, wanting to keep the atmosphere light. 

"Yeah," Steve admitted. "It is."

You kissed his cheek. “Did you wanna do anything for it?”

Steve shrugged shyly. “We don’t have to.”

“We want to,” Eddie said. “If you want to.”

Steve sat up, not looking at either of you. Meticulously, he cracked his knuckles, shoulders tense.

“‘S just, I never really celebrated my birthday. My… my dad said it was stupid to put so much on a day that comes every year. Said I didn't deserve it, most years. But he always wanted a gift for his birthday.”

You and Eddie stayed quiet, waiting for Steve to finish. He moved from his knuckles to a healing cut on his thumb, picking at it.

“I don’t think Tommy H even knew when my birthday was.” He laughed, but it sounded more like a choke. “I guess he wasn’t really a birthday guy either. He took Carol to the lake for her birthday, I remember.”

“We can go someplace for your birthday,” offered Eddie. “Take my van. I’ll even let ya sit up front, since you’d be the birthday boy and all.”

“No, no,” Steve scoffed. “Oh my God, no, that’d be dumb. Not–not that going someplace with you guys is dumb, just that making a big deal about it now would be dumb. I don’t want you guys to have to plan around my birthday.”

You put your hand on Steve’s before he tore his cuticle picking the cut. He looked at you and tried for a smile. 

“Plus I didn’t give you a heads up or anything," he continued. "It’d be pretty much impossible to do something now.”

“That’s not—”

“Okay,” you cut Eddie off. “Okay, Steve. If you don’t want to do anything, we won’t. We were just wondering is all.”

He nodded, sucking on his lower lip. Eddie shot you a look behind Steve’s back. You held up a hand, shaking your head. 

"Cool. Yeah, it’d just be too much work anyway. I get it. I’m gonna, um, shower. We can watch a movie…?”

You kissed Steve’s lips with a smile. “Think it’s Eddie’s turn to pick.”

He groaned. “Okay, but not Star Wars again. I can recite practically every line at this point.”

“A New Hope is peak cinema,” Eddie informed him. “But whatever. I suppose I can scrounge up something else.”

He waited until Steve disappeared down the hall before pouncing on you.

“What was that, baby?” he whined. “Pretty sure you made his hair deflate.”

“We’re going to give Steve a birthday he’ll never forget. And it couldn’t be a surprise if I told him, could it?”

Eddie’s lips spread into a slow grin. “Was this your plan all along?”

“I had to make sure Steve didn’t genuinely want a party,” you explained. “But I think it’s pretty clear he does. He’s just guilty about it.”

“That was some messed up shit his dad pulled,” Eddie sighed. 

Steve didn’t like talking about his family much. They were usually away, including this month. You and Eddie slept over when they were gone—Steve hated being alone in his house.

The shower turned on. You leaned into Eddie, arms around his neck.

“So whaddya say, Eds? Ready to throw our boyfriend the best surprise party ever?”

“I’m following your lead, baby,” he said, bowing to meet your lips. “Let’s do it.”

This was not a good idea.

“Steve said not to break into his house again, Eds. That’s, like, his only rule.”

“This isn’t breaking in! We have keys. Besides, how can we keep this a surprise if we barge in like we own the place?”

“I don’t understand why we can’t just ask him his size.”

Eddie slid open the top dresser drawer. He rifled through socks for a moment, then moved on. 

“Don’t you know it’s rude to ask a man for his measurements?” he grinned. “And you need the pictures for the video.”

“Well, hurry up.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

You heard the front door open. Eddie froze.

“Shit,” you hissed. “Shit, shit.”

“I thought he wasn’t gonna be back till four. What do we do?” Eddie hissed.

“Okay, it’s fine,” you whispered. “I’ll distract him. Work fast.”

You hurried out to the hall, quietly shutting Steve’s bedroom door behind you. Steve was poking around in the fridge. Maybe you could hide? The drapes were long enough, right? Or behind the TV…

“Holy fuck!”

The bottles on the fridge door rattled as Steve flinched upon seeing you. He slammed the door too hard. 

“Y/N, Jesus Christ. What are you doing here? I thought you were busy today.”

Steve had wanted to hang out today. You’d made up an excuse about housework. Eddie had faked pneumonia.

“H-hey, Steve. I was—I am busy. But, um… I needed a pan! A frying pan. Mine broke.”

He tilted his head. “You came to my house to steal a pan?”

“Yep. I reeeally need to fry stuff. Plus your mom buys the best cookware.”

“Uh… okay. Well, since you’re here, did you wanna do something? Eddie’s sick so I was thinking we could get lunch and bring it to him.”

You winced. Why did he have to be so sweet?

“I can’t. Any other day I would but I–I shouldn’t even be here, really. I’m sorry, baby.”

“Oh.” Steve nodded. You could tell he was trying not to look too dejected. Fuck.

“I’m sorry,” you said again.

“No, hey, you have things to do. I don’t expect you to drop it all for me.”

God, those big eyes were brutal. But you had to stick it out.

“I’ll see you tomorrow?” Steve asked, half smiling. “Try not to break my mom’s kitchen.”

He started to walk toward the hall. You raced to block him.

“Wait! Where are you going?” 

Steve squinted. “I’m going to my room?”

“Your room?” you said loudly. “Steve is going to his room.”

“Y/N, are you feeling okay? Eddie said he has pneumonia. You didn’t catch anything, did you?”

“I feel fine, Steve. Are you sure you wanna go to your room?”

“Considering my clothes are in there, ideally, yes.”

“Cosmopolitan says changing in different rooms can be empowering.”

“Y/N,” he sighed. “What’s going on?”

“Nothing! What if your room is haunted?”

“What?”

You took Steve by his wrists and dragged him back to the island.

“Maybe you can try changing in the kitchen,” you shouted at the bedroom.

“Honey, you’re kinda freaking me out.”

“I–” 

Eddie peeked around the corner, waving. He gave you a thumbs up. You jumped, causing Steve to look truly concerned.

“I,” you began. “Love you! Stevie, baby, I love you. You’re a dream. Keep it tight.”

“Huh?”

You kissed his cheek and backed towards the front door. 

“Gotta go!”

“What about your pan?” he called.

“Eggs are overrated!” you rushed out, closing the door.

You bolted down the block where Eddie had parked, cutting through a neighbor’s lawn. Eddie was already in the van, engine running.

“You’d better have gotten those pictures,” you panted. “I ran.”

“Your efforts were not in vain, baby. Great vamping, by the way. You lost me with the haunted room, though.”

“Please drive. I can’t believe there isn’t a single brain cell among the three of us.”

“There is,” Eddie said. “‘S just Steve has it this week.”

“Call Dustin. We’re gonna need all the help we can get.”

“Does anybody have any questions?”

“I have a question,” said Max, raising her hand. “Who the hell is that?”

“This is Spider,” Eddie introduced. “He’s the one letting me borrow his projector and screen for the party.”

“Whassup, dawg?” Spider nodded, piercings glinting as he did so.

“You have a projector guy?” asked Robin. 

“I know people,” Eddie defended. “I met Spider at one of my performances.”

“This dude shreds on guitar,” Spider said, then turned to you. “You’re a very lucky woman. I wish you all a lifetime of happiness.”

“Thanks, Spider.” You smiled awkwardly. “Okay, aside from Eddie's friend, any other questions?”

“How long am I keeping Steve occupied?” Robin asked.

“At least until eight. If you need an excuse, I can—”

“No, no,” she grinned, looking too pleased. “I’ll figure something out.” 

“O…kay. Dustin, you know what you’re doing?”

“Absolutely,” he said, giving a thumbs up. “And here’s the tape.”

He handed you the video. You took it eagerly.

“Awesome. Now look: ultimately this is to give Steve a great birthday. So let’s focus on that, okay?”

“This is really cool what you’re doing, Y/N,” Lucas decided. 

“It also helps that Steve’s no longer a douche,” added Mike.

“Hey,” scolded Eddie. “Watch it, Wheeler.”

“Uh, fellas?” said Robin, who had one of the curtains parted. “Did anybody tell Steve to come over?”

“What?” you yelped, rushing to the window. “Eds, did he call you?”

“Not since yesterday, baby. Gave the pneumatic performance of a lifetime.”

“Shit, shit. Okay, this is fine. It’s fine. Eddie, you’ve just gotta make him go away.”

“What? I’m supposed to be bedridden.”

“I’m sorry, honey, but you gotta. We’re at your trailer. It’ll look suspicious if I come out. Just pretend you’re getting better.”

“I’m no good at lying,” he whined. “Especially not to those baby browns. He’ll see right through me, sweetheart.”

“No, brother, you’ve totally got this,” said Spider. “Treat him like an old Fender. Gentle, but firm.”

Knock! Knock! 

“It’s okay,” you added. “It’s only until the end of the week. Here.”

You threw a knitted throw around Eddie’s shoulders. 

“What do I even say?” he whispered.

“You’ve been dating for three months,” Robin hissed. “It’s Steve.”

“I don’t need that attitude, Buckley.”

“Eddie?” came Steve’s voice. “Babe, you there?”

Eddie hacked a cough, jiggling the lock.

“Here,” he croaked, pulling open the door. “Steve?” 

“Hey," Steve said brightly. "How do you feel?”

“Uh, sick,” Eddie started weakly. “S-so sick. Achoo!”

“Oh.” You winced at Steve’s soft tone. “Okay, that’s cool. I was just—sorry, this is silly but uh, Y/N’s been acting really weird and I dunno, I just haven’t seen you guys much this week. Are we good? That night, with the birthday thing…”

“Yes!” Eddie blurted too loud. “Everything’s good. Everything’s amazing. We haven’t even thought about your birthday.”

Ouch. You didn’t have to see Steve’s face to know what a crash and burn that was.

“Oh. Uh, right. So…” You heard the front steps creak. “Wait, whose bikes are those?”

“What?” Eddie squeaked. “Oh, p-probably some kids left 'em. You know kids, always leaving their shit everywhere.”

“That one kinda looks like Dustin’s…”

“Nope, don’t think so!”

“Eds,” Steve sighed. “I don’t know what’s going on with you and Y/N but, like, I wish you’d talk to me instead of making things up. Y/N said she needed to borrow a pan and Robin’s been acting super weird this week. Dustin won’t even come into the store. Everybody’s walking on eggshells around me and—”

He stopped, eyes wide. Eddie pulled the throw tighter.

“Are you… are you guys breaking up with me?”

“What? No! God no, Steve, we’re not breaking up with you. It’s just—we’re just…”

“Yeah?” Steve asked, hopeful.

“...Busy,” Eddie finished lamely. “Really busy.”

“And sick,” Steve said coldly. “Right.”

“Baby…”

“No, it’s—” Steve held up a hand. “It’s fine. Whatever. I’ll see you later. Or not. Tell Dustin hi.”

You covered your face with your hands when the door slammed. It took Steve less than a minute to leave, his car soon rolling out of the park. 

“Munson. Dude. No bueno,” Spider said, eyes wide. 

“I know!” he cried, tearing the throw off. “Fuck, I know, I know, it was terrible. I’m terrible. And so close to his birthday, God…”

“No, no. Eds, I haven’t been much better,” you said. “I was so caught up in keeping this a surprise…” 

And now Steve didn’t even want to see you.

“It’s okay, guys,” Dustin assured. “Steve’ll forgive you once it comes together.”

“He was so hurt,” Eddie cringed. “God, maybe we should just call it off.”

“No,” Robin said firmly. “No way. I have covered for that dingus too many times to let it all go to shit. He’s head over heels for you both. He’ll understand.”

You turned to Eddie with a frown. He pulled you into a hug, kissing the top of your head.

“Whaddya think, Eddie?”

“I think Buckley’s right, sweetheart. Steve’ll understand. He’s just taking it hard ‘cause it’s his birthday.”

“Yeah?”

“I hope so,” he chuckled. “Or I’ll have faked pneumonia for nothing. Plus think about how worth it it’ll be to see the look on his face.”

Eddie was right. Steve deserved this. He deserved a birthday to remember. You had to pull through.

“Okay,” you said. “What time does Party City close?”

“Can I have a taste? Pleeeaaase?”

“For the thousandth time, no!” You moved the mixing bowl away from Eddie’s wandering hands. “You’ll have some soon enough. Why don’t you help the kids with the decorations?”

“I was actually banned from the yard, if you can believe it. Apparently there is such a thing as too many balloons.”

You rolled your eyes. “Take a brownie. One. As compensation.”

Eddie happily took the confection, immediately getting fudge icing and sprinkles on his nose. He took a bite and groaned, pressing a sweet kiss to your cheek. 

“Shit, these are good, baby. He’s gonna love these.”

“Yeah? It’s a new recipe.”

“Hell yeah, angel. Are you gonna make these for my birthday?”

“If you’re good,” you winked, wiping frosting from his lip. “Here, help me decorate the cake. This one’s cooled.”

You had smoothly iced the top of the red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. In delicate cursive, you’d already written Happy birthday with blue icing. You handed Eddie the piping bag.

“Here, write his name.”

“Shit, okay, I got this.”

Eddie took the bag with both hands, sticking his tongue out in concentration. His aim wasn’t as careful as yours, so the message ended up saying Happy birthday, sTeVE baBY!!!

“Hm. Think he’ll be able to tell who wrote what?” 

You bit your lip, leaning into his chest. 

“That’s okay, honey. Adds personality. Now, please.” You took the piping bag back. “Please go make sure Spider and the kids aren’t tearing up the Harringtons’ lawn.”

“Very well. I shall return,” he said in his best dungeon master voice. “Save me a cupcake!”

You put the last layer of the birthday cake into the oven. Then the phone rang. 

“Harrington residence.”

“Hey there, best girlfriend in the world,” came Robin’s voice. “Are you guys almost done setting up?” 

“Almost,” you said, checking the clock. “Give us another half hour. Everything okay with Steve?”

“Yeah, it’s cool. I jimmied the lock to the supply closet and made him think he’s locked in.”

“You what?”

“It’s fine!” she insisted. “He’s just pissed. He’s not, like, having a breakdown or anything.”

“Robin,” you sighed. “That’s not what I meant when I said keep him at work.”

“No, it’s cool. He’s—oh, he’s trying to kick down the door. Gotta go. We’ll be there in thirty minutes!”

Thirty minutes passed in a blur. Spider, oddities aside, got the projector running smoothly. You gave him a half dozen cupcakes and twenty bucks. He bowed deeply, kissed Eddie’s rings, and left. Joyce Byers had generously helped you with the dinner, and as soon as the cake was complete, you warmed the chicken.

“He’s here!” came Will’s voice, who’d been assigned lookout. “He’s here! Places, guys.”

Everyone filed out to the backyard. You and Dustin turned on the projector while Eddie and the others pulled out the screen. You heard them walk through the pool gate with Robin talking louder than usual to signal her entrance. 

“...Keith definitely needs to get those locks changed,” Steve was saying.

“You’re so right. We’ll call him first thing tomorrow. Or maybe you could be less of a dingus and not get locked in next time.”

“I have never gotten locked in before! Robin, why won’t you let me inside my house?”

"It's a secret," she grinned. 

"Robin, look, I really don't feel up to this. My week has kinda been a bummer and—"

"Steve.” She turned his head to the screen. "Just watch."

The projector clicked on, tape rolling. The screen was blank for a moment before switching to the video.

“What am I saying?” Max had been impatient when you’d caught her after school to record her part.

“It’s his birthday. Say what you’d tell him on his birthday,” you urged from behind the camera.

She looked at the camera, sighing.

“Fine. Hi, Steve. Uh, happy birthday. You’re twenty, right? Practically an old man. Don’t break a hip. Somebody’s gotta watch out for us shitheads.” She smiled then, rolling her eyes. “Guess you’re alright, though. Happy birthday.”

“Hi, Steve.” Joyce Byers sweetly waved at the camera. “Y/N and Eddie are here. They asked me to say a few words to you on your birthday. You guys are such dolls.”

“Mrs. Byers—” you said offscreen. “If you could talk to Steve…?” 

“Oh, right. Steve, I know we don’t know each other well, but I’ve heard a lot about you and how you’ve grown into a very nice young man. Thank you for keeping my sons safe, and for protecting the kids. Happy birthday!”

Steve stared, eyebrows to his hairline. His lips were parted, eyes never leaving the screen as Robin herded him into a chair. 

“Steve, buddy, hi!” Dustin beamed on screen. “You’re turning twenty, that’s awesome! Um, I wanna say that you’re really cool and you’re like one of my best friends now. Also, Y/N and Eddie did all this and they’re awesome. Please don’t be mad at them for being weird this week—they’ve just been planning hard for your party.”

The others had begun to trickle out of hiding. You and Eddie were slow in joining, not wanting to interrupt the video. 

“Harrington,” came Hopper’s firm voice. “Heard you’re turning twenty. I better not get any calls about being drunk and disorderly.” His expression softened into what could almost be called a smile. He nodded at you and Eddie behind the camera. “Glad you’ve found a better crowd to run with. Happy birthday.”

You stepped out fully. Steve’s gaze landed on you and Eddie. His eyes were glassy.

“Happy birthday, Steve,” El, Lucas, and Mike yelled. “Hope it’s awesome!” she added.

“Hey,” you whispered. 

“Hey,” Steve said, equally as soft. “How did—what—”

“Happy birthday, dingus!” Robin sang on film. “Okay, wait. Look at them for a second.” She shifted the camera around, panning it around to you and Eddie. 

“Robin!” you squealed on camera, trying to push it back around. “Speak to him!”

“No, you guys should get a feature too. Steve, these two love you so much and you’d better not fuck it up because they really are the best.” 

She turned it back to her, smiling. 

“Now I’ll say my piece: you’re my best friend. Not to get sappy and shit, but you’re a good guy and you deserve good things. Happy birthday.”

The tape rolled to a stop. You held your breath. A tear slipped down Steve’s cheek. Eddie was quick to swipe it away from his thumb.

“Babe,” Eddie murmured. “Is–is this okay?”

“Okay?” Steve choked. “Okay?”

“We know,” Eddie continued, grimacing, “that we’ve been acting fucking weird but only because we wanted this to be a surprise. We’re real sorry, babe.”

“Don’t—Jesus, don’t be sorry—” Steve gasped, stumbling forward. 

He threw both arms over you and Eddie. You hugged him back hard, kissing his shoulder. 

“Happy birthday, big guy,” Eddie said.

“We love you so much,” you added. “Happy birthday, Stevie.”

“You guys did this all for me? I thought…shit.” 

Steve sniffed, rubbing his eyes. Eddie kissed him first, then you went. Steve gasped into your mouth, overwhelmed.

“You okay?” you murmured, cupping his cheeks. “Not too much?”

“No. It’s perfect. It’s—God, a single cupcake would’ve been great. You didn’t have to do all this.”

“We wanted to! We love you! I love Steve Harrington and Y/N L/N!” Eddie shouted at the top of his lungs.

“Eds,” you scolded laughingly, tugging his arm. “You’ll wake the neighbors, quit!”

Eddie pulled Steve in by his waist.  

"Let 'em complain. Our favorite guy's birthday is today."

You led Steve and the others back into the house. There, you began to dish out the food. Steve stayed close as you and Eddie helped the kids serve themselves. The dining room had been decorated with pictures of Steve. With you, with Eddie, with Robin, at school, in the summer, whatever photos you could find. 

“These were what we had to get a few days ago,” you explained. 

“That’s why a bunch of photos are missing from my room,” Steve said. 

“Yeah, Eddie’s no James Bond, clearly,��� you laughed. “But we… well, we made the theme Memory. ‘Cause you haven’t really had any good birthdays. So we hope this’ll start a new line of memories.”

Steve bit his lip, rubbing his eye.

“Please don’t cry, handsome,” Eddie pleaded, wiping another stray tear from Steve’s cheek. “This is supposed to be happy.”

"No, I am happy. You two always bring life into this house," Steve murmured. "You make it feel like home."

You covered the pans and pulled your boys near. 

"Well, we can do this as much as you want. Eddie and I will cook anytime you like, honey."

"I cooked," Eddie said proudly. "I also did some decorating. Shit, your present!"

Steve's eyes widened. "My present? This wasn't it?" 

"No, duh. We had to get you a gift, obviously."

"You didn't have to—" 

"But we wanted to," you interrupted, silencing Steve with a kiss. "Will you let us spoil you?" 

Eddie gave Steve a gift bag stuffed with his favorite newspaper funnies. 

"A jacket?” Steve gasped. "Eddie, it’s…”

"Now we can match," Eddie said giddily. "Y/N has jeans to complete the set."

Eddie had customized the back of the jacket with a mix of his, yours, and Steve's favorite patches. On the sleeve it said bestest birthday boy!!!! He'd also patched on a heart that said S.H. hearts E.M. + Y.N.

"You looked so good in Eddie's vest," you slyly grinned. “Hawkins won’t survive with you killing in denim.”

"Okay, well, I hope you know you're only giving me a giant ego, so," Steve announced. 

"It's your birthday," Eddie shrugged. "We can afford it."

"Hey, are we eating or what!" shouted Dustin. 

"Eat, eat, we'll be there in a sec," you called back. 

"Probably making out in the kitchen," you heard Robin mutter. 

Steve took your and Eddie's hands in his. He sniffed, smiling wide. 

"Thank you. Really. This is—this is the most special thing anybody's ever done for me."

"Good," you said, kissing his temple. "You deserve this and more."

"Yeah, and just so you know," Eddie added. "This is only the beginning. Now that we know your birthday, you're not escaping us, Harrington."

"Oh?" Steve laughed bashfully, apple-cheeked and glowing. "How on earth are you gonna top this one?"

You and Eddie grinned at each other.

"It’s a surprise.”

Smash Season 1, Episode 10

Written vaguely as I watched it:

Cuba?!

Me too Julia, love 'er🤍

I can't remember girls name but I don't trust her with Dev. Very nervous.

Karen yea!!!!!!!

Julia is so supportive!!!!!! 🤍🤍🤍

Sam. Gotta love 'im

Ivy. You are obsessed. It's not good for the soul.

Eileen. Yo spanish.

Ellis GO GET YO CREDIT

Dev angsty too

Karen!!! Go off queen!!!!

Dev! Tell her!

Lovin' Sam and Tom's 'friendship' *wink wonk*

John feels it too, eek

Leo is just to likeable. It makes me sad

Ivy. Do. Not. Sing.

Tom is so funny. No that's just Christian 😜

Why am I watching this? I don't like musical tv shows.

I don't like this song??? I know it's not an original but the lyrics are so... Not my type

Okay Ivy, wake up.

I KNOW Karen jumped out of her skin

KAREN! Even *I* know to write it down and what downstage means.

Julia has so much attitude. Lovin' it. But also stop. It's rude. We all got our reasons but you can't just push your attitude onto someone else who did nothing wrong.

They are the perfect balance

Julia is so defensive.

Can't wait for Julia's life to rise again. Love her.

Tom is the angel we all need but don't deserve

Dev... Has a point but chiiiiiiill. Yelling doesn't help

Eileen... They got a point- Don't you DARE bring up Jerry! I'm tired of HEARING of him.

"Vultures"! XD

Nick, you are to sweet.

She is a lil useless

Ivy! I. Love her. So much.

TOM!!!🤍🤍🤍

Love this number!!!!!

Derrick smiling 🤍

"Thank yooou☺️"

SAM😲

John come back!

Nick is so lovely

Sam be snitching XD

Ivy. Me scared.

Those glasses poisoned

Tom and Julia are my favorite people

Tom! How dramatic!

Oh. Bye Jules

Eileen speak on it!

Nick... Tell. Me. More.

I hate the Marilyn talk.

This girl. This Lady. Hatehatehate. Get. AWAY!

Heya Tommy🤍

Julia going through it

"Oh."

I smile when Julia cries but I cry when Tom looks slightly sad. Not even sad, sympathetic. My bias is strong and constant.

I love them!!!!

This duo🤍🤍🤍

Anyways...

Leo XD

No Leo, you are never the problem

JULIA! NO NO NO!

Sam, investigate

Ivy... Okay, me interested. Not supporting it tho

John. Don't say it- Oh god

"What are you talking about?" ... I don't know if he actually knows or not. I don't like it. (OPINION)

PAIN

Julia. This is pain.

You sound... Familiar Julia.... Michael said something similar... Right?

Ellis- How DARE you go delving into Nick's personal life. Eileen and I don't wanna know.... This will come back later. Won't it😞

Karen!!! Yes queen!

Nick is the sweetest-

Eileen! Yo Spanish! XD

Karen! XD

Karen may forgive you but I won't- Yea! Don't forgive him!

Dev!!! What a king!

"He's lucky I held back." XD

Dev got a point here

I KNEW THIS WAS COMING

Bye Dev, gonna miss you

Randy is love. Randy is life.

Nick is my favorite person at this moment.

Is Frank finna show??? Oop-

Not a sad montage. Ew.

I love Eileen's happiness

Karen be giving. Yas queen

Oop- New big shot- Oh god.

Welcome back from Cuba

.

What I learned:

I remember the show a lot easier when I do these. So I will continue. Even if they stat in the drafts.

If you ever wonder why someone's at an event and it's not Ellis, 80% Sam invited them.

32.  “Sometimes the happiest people, are often the ones who need the most cheering up.” and 9. "You're the best friend and lover any partner could ask for." with Josuke and a male-leaning reader? Please and thank you!! Your writing is just... *Chef's kiss*

A/N: im sorry this starts sad and a lil triggery but it gets better i swear! this is actually based off stuff me and my boyfriend went thru recently, so i hope its good

Warnings: Themes of self harm, no actual self harm occurs, fluff, male reader

Your hands shook as you stared at the knife. It was tempting. Tempting to just give up, to relapse, to go back. You’d done it before, many times. You knew you could. What you didn’t know is if you couldn’t. But you’d made a promise. You had promised to call your boyfriend if you got bad again, and let him help you.

You put down the knife and picked up the phone.

Josuke answered it. “Hello?”

Okuyasu was next to him, playing a video game. He watched as Josuke’s brow furrowed. “Sure thing, babe. Yeah. Be right there. Love you too.”

He got up. “Y/N needs some lovin’ right now.”

Okuyasu frowned. “But he’s always so happy and cheerful.

Josuke shrugged. “Sometimes the happiest people, are often the ones who need the most cheering up.”

He dipped out the door, promising to be back.

He walked to your house, memories swirling in his head. He remembered finding the cuts on your arms and legs and being angry at first. Even horrified. How could you do this to yourself, to the person he loved? 

Once you’d both calmed down, he realized that although this seemed inexcusable to him, you didn’t see yourself the way he did. All the beauty he saw in you was invisible to your own eyes. He vowed then, placing his hands in yours, “I will always be here to show you what I see.”

You heard a knock, and rushed to answer it. Josuke swept you up in his arms, hugging you tight. “Am I too late?”

You shook your head, starting to cry. Josuke smiled gently. “Great.”

He brushed the tears from your cheeks and pulled you into his chest. “You’re my baby, you’re my handsome, amazing boyfriend.”

You nodded. “And you are mine.”

Josuke smiled and kissed you softly. “I love you so much.”

You sniffled. “You're the best friend and lover any boy could ask for.”

Josuke nuzzled your noses together. “I think that title is reserved for you, handsome.”

You laughed through your tears, and hoped that Josuke would be there to make you laugh forever.

yo yo yo may i get some hcs for the Main Trio™️ with a crush who asks them for help in babysitting their little sibling(s)...? im so soft for that shit man 👌👌

This is cute as hell and I'm lovin' it.

Bakugo

"Why the hell would I help you take care of some bratty kids?"

Surprisingly, that's about all the resistance he gives.

VERY annoyed.

"Shut the fuck up!"

"KATSUKI BAKUGO, DO NOT SWEAR IN FRONT OF MY SIBLINGS!"

He apologizes.

Angrily.

After that, he does his best to make the kid/s happy.

He just wants to impress you.

Eventually, he stops being such a hardass.

He also falls asleep while you started making lunch.

Your sibling fell asleep on him.

The picture you got was priceless, and your lockscreen forever.

He demands you delete it.

You don't.

After that, he offers to help whenever he can.

He just likes being around you(duh lol) and if that means watching some kids, then so be it.

Midoriya

NERVOUS.

"Izuku, I'm gonna go make sandwiches, can you watch him/her/them?"

"WAIT WHAT?! WHAT IF THEY GET HURT?! WHAT IF THEY FALL?! WHAT IF-"

"That's why you're here."

That didn't help.

Anytime you weren't in the room also watching them, he got nervous, and just held them.

It takes like an hour before he chills out enough to not panic each time they take a step.

He plays superhero with them.

They LOVE HIM.

They start calling him "Big Brother".

He cries.

Begs you to let him come over, even if you don't need help.

Todoroki

Very awkward.

Doesn't know how to care for children.

He tells you he'd rather do the small chores and make food instead of watch the kids.

But, you kinda forced him to be around them, just a little bit.

They immediately talk about his scar.

They called it cool, and now he's trying not to sob.

"Let's not talk about that, okay guys?"

They ask him to tell them about UA, and the stuff he does in the hero course.

His stories facinate them.

He ends up actually wanting to watch them for you.

He used his ice to make small toys for them.

They freaked out over how cold they were, and Todoroki panicked.

"Oh, no! Y/N, please help!"

He's trying to warm their hands with his heat.

It works oddly well.

His heart is still pounding.

He will gladly come help again, but he won't use his quirk anymore.

Hey! I really hope you liked this, and I really hope these are the right three, lol. Also, I totally agree, this is cute as hell. Requests are open!💗

2. describe ur dream outfit!

Aug 13 Dancitron Movie Night - Gotham 7-9

Prowl learned how to poorly use the word simpatico. Everyone’s proud of him.

After movie night, he discovered that Soundwave has sixty blankets, and a washing machine, and therefore, is unspeakably wealthy. Soundwave gave him three and a fourth for the Constructicons, and Prowl has absolutely no idea what to do with this embarrassment of riches. He’s grateful, but like......... he doesn’t even use blankets.

Today NoodlesAtNight 7:31 pm ((sorry it's delayed, i've been fighting to get a decent rabbitcast tonight)) ((about to put post up tho)) SpecsTheSpectralDragon 7:31 pm ((dw about it! I just feel really bad about missing last week, especially since I was so hyped, that I refuse to miss it this week)) NoodlesAtNight 7:31 pm ((if you want wiki articles for last week's, i can give them to you over tumblr im!)) SpecsTheSpectralDragon 7:32 pm ((I TVtropsed them >_>)) NoodlesAtNight 7:32 pm ((LOL that works)) NoodlesAtNight 7:36 pm ((okay, links up, so i'll get the music on and it'll get going about 8:10 probs)) SpecsTheSpectralDragon 7:37 pm ((woop woop)) MedicalMurdersaurus 7:37 pm *toddles in* NoodlesAtNight 7:38 pm *It's been a little more than three weeks, but the movie night has finally returned to the inside of Dancitron. Things aren't perfect - observant types will notice a few items out of order or uninstalled where they previously were, and the bar contents look VERY different - but it's functional.* *And the red glass doors are back in action.* MedicalMurdersaurus 7:38 pm *is not observant and just wanders where his feet take him, he'll get to BIrd eventually* verdigrisprowl 7:39 pm *prowl appears outside and is confused that he's apparently the first one to arrive.* opatoes 7:39 pm /Smokescreen's coming into Dancitron and is immediately heading for the bar/ Sounds! You've got everything up again! When's the re-opening party? NoodlesAtNight 7:40 pm [[This weekend, if all goes well.]] opatoes 7:40 pm Oh man, really? Do you want any help that night? I'd love to come over either way. MedicalMurdersaurus 7:40 pm *wanders up to whoever* NoodlesAtNight 7:40 pm *Hey, Prowl. Frenzy's just gonna pop out of the roof hatch and shout to you. After throwing a rock down to get attention, that is.* \\YO. AIN'T OUTSIDE THIS WEEK.\\ SCProwl 7:41 pm *pulls up outside* NoodlesAtNight 7:41 pm *Ravage looks up at Swoop.* =...Yes?= verdigrisprowl 7:41 pm *was movie night canceled or is soundwave just delayed? or— there's a rock.* Oh. Thank you. MedicalMurdersaurus 7:41 pm Where Bird? SpecsTheSpectralDragon 7:41 pm *the dragon's brought a bit different of a selection today; along with rust sticks and mercury drops, she's got "bars" of crystalized energon with thin layers of silver folded over them. there's some pictographic writing on it, but it's her language, so good luck deciphering it. she looks different too. violet ceramic bells are strung across her limbs and tail with black metal chain, and she's got an odd mask hanging from her neck- was that mask inspired by the local adorabug zori?* NoodlesAtNight 7:41 pm =She is coming. Delayed. Dinner time.= SCProwl 7:41 pm *two Prowls for the price of one rock?* SpecsTheSpectralDragon 7:41 pm Hello, everyone! verdigrisprowl 7:42 pm *he'll head ins... or maybe he'll wait for his alternate to catch up.* MedicalMurdersaurus 7:42 pm Keheheh Her Bird too much dinner? NoodlesAtNight 7:42 pm [[And we could use the help, he thinks. As he said, our Smokescreen is away right now, and he typically acts as a bouncer.]] SCProwl 7:42 pm *transforms and catches up* Hello, Captain. NoodlesAtNight 7:42 pm *Soundwave taps his wrist to indicate the phase shifter and huffs.* verdigrisprowl 7:42 pm Evening. opatoes 7:42 pm I'd be glad to help out like old times, Sounds. Just ping me when I should come over! /Smokescreen is making a beeline for those snacks./ NoodlesAtNight 7:43 pm *Soundwave twists to look at the dragon. He smells silver, and-- oh, what's this now?* [[Is it the scaring season already? He thought that was in... hmm. What is Earth time right now. Two w-- no. Two months.]] *He gestures to the mask.* =Always, Swoop.= *Frenzy throws another rock down, but doesn't say anything. This one is just to try to startle their timeline's Prowl before he disappears into the hatch.* SpecsTheSpectralDragon 7:45 pm No, it's not! Well. It sort of is. Since all the little ones are hatching, the festivities are in full swing, and part of it includes keeping "evil spirits" out of the new children. *she puts on her mask and flares her wings to show off a little, before taking it back off* Red and black is actually more traditional, but purple isn't unheard of. Besides, I'm not a docent, so it isn't as though I'll see the little ones and confuse them by being purple. SCProwl 7:46 pm *hears the rock whizzing through the air and steps back to ensure it doesn't skid into her when it hits the ground and bounces* I suppose that's our cue to head inside. I hope things have been going smoothly on your Cybertron. opatoes 7:46 pm Wait- wait, what holiday is this? Do you need any help scaring hatchlings? verdigrisprowl 7:47 pm Apparently so. *Doesn't want to give Frenzy a chance to come back with more rocks.* MedicalMurdersaurus 7:47 pm *wanders up to someone else* verdigrisprowl 7:47 pm The past week or so has been remarkably normal. You? Clich.A 7:48 pm QUEEn!! opatoes 7:48 pm CLICH Clich.A 7:48 pm (Strikes a pose) Hello everyone, Soundwave! opatoes 7:49 pm /Smokescreen's stopping everything to pose at Clich!/ SpecsTheSpectralDragon 7:49 pm *the dragon stares at Smokescreen for a moment. she's a full-grown adult, and SHE'S only the size of a fox. the hatchlings probably won't register Smokescreen for how big he is.* It's a dragon holiday, or festival, really, since it's three weeks long. Fresh babies are important. MedicalMurdersaurus 7:49 pm *wanders aimlessly, making no attempt not to bump into people* Chillsins 7:49 pm *Walks in, but he has to go real slow...real slow like a glacier, because Rebel insists on running in front of him.* Clich.A 7:49 pm (Poses back) SCProwl 7:49 pm There was a protest. opatoes 7:49 pm Ohhh- that's fair, that's fair. Still, I hope everyone has fun! That sounds like a nice holiday. /More dramatic pose at Clich!/ Chaoit 7:50 pm -wanders in to this. Stops and stares- Clich.A 7:50 pm OKay, we better keep it relaxed now, don't want to run out of poses too soon. (Plots down) (plops even) opatoes 7:50 pm Awww. But I have like, an infinite amount of poses in me. _Whirl 7:50 pm @S: *ping; he's not physically there yet* Hey, could I get permission to open a bridge? And some... floor space. Got. Something to bring with me. opatoes 7:50 pm I guess you could say I'm super posable! Clich.A 7:50 pm ha! NoodlesAtNight 7:50 pm ((SORRY delivery came had to parcel out food)) Chaoit 7:51 pm ((FOOD Clich.A 7:51 pm ((No probs, hellows) SpecsTheSpectralDragon 7:51 pm ((FOOD)) MedicalMurdersaurus 7:51 pm ((what's for dinner? 😀 )) opatoes 7:51 pm ((asbnxcv i'm waiting for food still verdigrisprowl 7:51 pm Oh? Protest against what? Chillsins 7:51 pm Rebel: HEY! *spins around in a circle and almost crashes into Chill's leg* THERE'S NO DIRT HERE! NoodlesAtNight 7:52 pm [[He's to take it that you consider Zori capable of frightening off great evils?]] MedicalMurdersaurus 7:52 pm *eventually decides to wait for Bird by perching near the snacks* NoodlesAtNight 7:52 pm *Soundwave dips his helm in greeting to Clich, and gets Whirl that bridge permission through Chimera.* Chillsins 7:52 pm *Chill wordlessly steps over Rebel's head to find a seat on the floor with Blue.* SpecsTheSpectralDragon 7:53 pm Given that I am on the actual moon, and will probably encounter no hatchlings, I would say that I consider Zori to be aesthetically pleasing and a great muse for masks. MedicalMurdersaurus 7:53 pm *watches anyone who happens to come by* _Whirl 7:53 pm *Excellent. Fwoosh, there's a blue bridge, and shortly after, a blue helicopter. He does not, at yet, greet or acknowledge anyone. He's swiveling in place... ah, there. Whirl dives back through. The vortex disappears* SCProwl 7:53 pm A small demonstration for peace between the factions. In front of Autobot headquarters. NoodlesAtNight 7:53 pm *Laserbeak hovers down flying as lazily as possible, heading toward Swoop right away. Rumble and Frenzy follow after her, but make a beeline for Whirl's company instead.* MedicalMurdersaurus 7:54 pm *perks up the second she flutters in* verdigrisprowl 7:54 pm I thought you were at peace? Chaoit 7:54 pm -drops into a seat out of the way- _Whirl 7:54 pm *it reappears a moment later in a different spot, closer to a wall. And then, bit by bit, something large and purple begins to nudge its way through. It's a couch, and Whirl is pushing it from the other side in a very slow and undignified fashion because he can't hold bridges unless he's in alt-mode* NoodlesAtNight 7:54 pm [[He is sure Zori will be happy to hear that. It is not often that he gets to inspire an outsider.]] SCProwl 7:54 pm Not quite. Both sides agreed to a ceasefire, but the... details are still being worked out on a peace treaty. Clich.A 7:54 pm (Curious squint) NoodlesAtNight 7:54 pm //What in the ever-lovin' FRAG--// *Staring openmouthed at the couch.* SCProwl 7:55 pm *like whether or not just about everyone on either side should be put on trial for war crimes* Chaoit 7:55 pm -Blaster's just going to join in with the curious staring- MedicalMurdersaurus 7:55 pm Bird : > SpecsTheSpectralDragon 7:55 pm Zori is an inspir- *eyes the couch* Um. Chaoit 7:55 pm Is...that a couch? NoodlesAtNight 7:55 pm [[...Do we know any couchformers?]] verdigrisprowl 7:55 pm Ah. Well, then there's probably little harm in... *why is a couch appearing* opatoes 7:55 pm ... /Smokescreen's going to try to sit on this new couch./ Chillsins 7:56 pm *Thought he was the only furniture Whirl needed, but guess not.* _Whirl 7:56 pm *the couch's progress halts, and Whirl pokes the nose of his alt-mode through the bridge* Move it, wide load. NoodlesAtNight 7:56 pm ((STARTING IN APPROX 10 MINUTES, GRAB UR SNAX N DRINKS)) Chillsins 7:56 pm *Betrayal* SpecsTheSpectralDragon 7:56 pm ((SNAX)) Chaoit 7:56 pm Um...do you need help getting the couch through? verdigrisprowl 7:57 pm *IS WHIRL PUSHING IT IN ALT MODE* NoodlesAtNight 7:57 pm *Yes. Yes he is.* *Laserbeak waves a feeler at Rebel.* {{What you thinking them dirt here for? It clean house! Not dirty Autobot desert base.}} SpecsTheSpectralDragon 7:58 pm *the dragon flies up on a table and rubs her eyes. did she eat a hallucinogen, or...* _Whirl 7:58 pm *regardless of whether or not Smokescreen moves, Whirl resumes pushing from the other end. The multiverse is giving birth to this couch* verdigrisprowl 7:59 pm *the miracle of life* SCProwl 7:59 pm *would have agreed with her alternate about there being so harm done. no one showed up to counter-protest or anything so it was an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon* opatoes 7:59 pm . . . /Smokescreen does move, if only to try to help out Whirl and because this feels *so weird*/ Chillsins 7:59 pm Rebel: Never not seen DIRT before! *Now she's gotta run and circle the entire damn room to make sure.* MedicalMurdersaurus 7:59 pm Keheh clean house? Chillsins 8:00 pm *Windchill's just...not going to acknowledge anything that's happening right now.* SpecsTheSpectralDragon 8:00 pm *truly, the multiverse is full of little miracles* NoodlesAtNight 8:00 pm {{...Well. It clean floor one. Them twins room not so clean, neheh.}} MedicalMurdersaurus 8:00 pm *snickers* _Whirl 8:00 pm *with the help the rest of it should go smoothly and a little faster. There we go. Whirl follows, sealing the bridge behind him and just plopping, nose-first, into the couch* So. This is for you, if you want it, Soundwave. MedicalMurdersaurus 8:00 pm You Bird don't FLOOR NoodlesAtNight 8:01 pm *Soundwave sits up and just sort of. Puts a curled finger over where his mouth would be if anyone else could see it.* _Whirl 8:01 pm *unfurls into root mode, conveniently in a perfectly lounging position* Just the couch. Not Smokescreen. ...or me. opatoes 8:01 pm I don't think Soundwave would want to keep me! verdigrisprowl 8:01 pm *... right, okay. he should probably sit.* Good to see you, alternate. *he's heading over to his usual couch.* _Whirl 8:01 pm Take it as a "sorry I made you wreck your bar by turning into a ravenous undead monster" present. opatoes 8:01 pm ... Wait, what? Chillsins 8:01 pm *There's no dirt to be found, but Rebel keeps running as fast as her short legs will go.* SCProwl 8:01 pm *hm, Prowl should probably sit down while everyone is distracted by the space bridge and whatever is being pushed through it* Of course. NoodlesAtNight 8:01 pm [[...He'll take it. He likes the color.]] *Pause.* [[Besides. He'd rather you not be forced to push it back through.]] opatoes 8:02 pm /Smokescreen's going to sit down next to Whirl. He did help push the couch, after all! NoodlesAtNight 8:02 pm *Rumble and Frenzy clamber up on to the couch to either side of Whirl.* \\HUH. COMFY.\\ Chaoit 8:02 pm ....we didn't get everyone? With the cure on the ship - ships? - or...? SCProwl 8:02 pm *ah it was someone Prowl doesn't know* verdigrisprowl 8:02 pm *sits with Soundwave* Do I owe you a table now? Chillsins 8:03 pm *Some universes were left on their own in the Crisis.* _Whirl 8:03 pm Damn right it is. If I'm gonna pick out a couch, I'm gonna pick out a GOOD one. *bobs his head to the twins in turn, and then to the rest of the room, taking note of his peeps. Windchill, the dragon, and...* I'll be damned, is that the big Worm? SCProwl 8:03 pm *takes the nearest empty chair* NoodlesAtNight 8:04 pm *Soundwave shakes his head no, and follows it up with a personal comm.* @P: [[Not unless you come bound with it as part of the gift.]] *AND ON THAT NOTE, he'll glance around to see where Clich went.* SpecsTheSpectralDragon 8:04 pm *chirps at Whirl. thanks to all the bells, she chimes when she bobs her head* NoodlesAtNight 8:04 pm ((four minutes)) _Whirl 8:05 pm *he'll scoot a bit so Frenzy can get in between him and Smokescreen, but he will spare Smokescreen a nod of acknowledgement. You have done Good on this day* Clich.A 8:05 pm (IS being good but then he see's big Bee and a SWERVE) OH haii~ _Whirl 8:05 pm Hey, dragon! What're you all decked out for? verdigrisprowl 8:05 pm *slight choking noise* radioactivibee 8:05 pm [waves] verdigrisprowl 8:05 pm *flops his head back to stare at the ceiling. oh boy.* opatoes 8:05 pm /Aww, Smokescreen's doors flutter. He did good for- IS THAT BEE Smokescreen's practically dropping everything to go over to him./ SpecsTheSpectralDragon 8:06 pm It's hatchling festival! Everyone else is scaring away "evil spirits" and I'm looking dashing and wonderful. radioactivibee 8:06 pm Hey Smokes. Kelpy 8:06 pm [throws himself into view] AM I LATE?

Kelpy 8:06 pm Hi Sounds. radioactivibee 8:06 pm Hi Soundwave. Chillsins 8:06 pm *Chill turns to give Whirl a wave, but doing so puts him in Blue's line of sight and the BEEP is unleashed.* opatoes 8:06 pm /Also waving at Swerve!/ SCProwl 8:06 pm *pings Smokescreen hello* radioactivibee 8:06 pm Good to see you too, Smokey. Any shenanigans since Saturday? Kelpy 8:06 pm Hey Smokey. opatoes 8:07 pm !! /Pings Round Prowl in return!/ _Whirl 8:07 pm *BEEPS back, utterly delighted* NoodlesAtNight 8:07 pm *Soundwave is gonna quickly give his timeline's Prowl the data concerning tonight's show so she can look up the audio description.* opatoes 8:07 pm You know it, Bee. Uh- ... Actually, not that much happened. I guess I almost died but it wasn't a big deal in the end? verdigrisprowl 8:07 pm *without looking down from the ceiling* Hi, Swerve. Kelpy 8:08 pm Hi Prowl. Something interesting up there? radioactivibee 8:08 pm you WHAT?! _Whirl 8:08 pm ...hey, so.

Kelpy 8:08 pm The Fusion Cannon To The Face challenge. _Whirl 8:08 pm *points to him* Name the time and place. I'll be there. I'm still doing TWO. radioactivibee 8:08 pm Primus Swerve, you're gonna kill someone. opatoes 8:08 pm It wasn't anything, really! I just bridged somewhere and it was a trap, but I got out of there! radioactivibee 8:08 pm Can I watch? ... NoodlesAtNight 8:08 pm *He gives her anything he thinks she might need to know.* Kelpy 8:08 pm You can watch and no one has died yet! But sure. How about tomorrow?> MedicalMurdersaurus 8:08 pm *hops from being perched by the snacks to sitting on the bar* radioactivibee 8:09 pm [sighs] I'll take your word for it. _Whirl 8:09 pm I'm fine with it if Swerve is. NoodlesAtNight 8:09 pm [[Why would anyone want a fusion cannon to the face? How do they SURVIVE IT?]] opatoes 8:09 pm I promise, I'm fine now! Kelpy 8:09 pm It's a drink! _Whirl 8:09 pm Works for me. My schedule is wide open. verdigrisprowl 8:09 pm "Fusion cannon to the face"? Kelpy 8:09 pm Yeah! It's a drink I invented. It's really styrong. verdigrisprowl 8:09 pm Is it legal? radioactivibee 8:09 pm Seconded, Soundwave. It's, like, impossible.

I want a fusion cannon to the face! radioactivibee 8:10 pm No. SpecsTheSpectralDragon 8:10 pm There's a draconic drink called the velveted claw. Supposedly it feels like being thrown off of a cliff and landing on your face. Since I'm not the right species, I wouldn't know. MedicalMurdersaurus 8:10 pm *kicks his heels up and chirps, if there's a tune it's by accident* opatoes 8:10 pm but verdigrisprowl 8:10 pm Does Magnus /know/ about it yet? SCProwl 8:10 pm That doesn't seem wise, Smokescreen. Kelpy 8:10 pm I'm pretty sure he does. NoodlesAtNight 8:10 pm //I've fallen off a cliff 'n landed on my face. It ain't fun.// Kelpy 8:10 pm It's been around for a year. NoodlesAtNight 8:10 pm [[Neither is landing on your back.]] verdigrisprowl 8:10 pm Hm. Probably. Clich.A 8:10 pm "that doesn't seem wise, Smokescreen" is like the background radation of his life,and yet somehow he is still here. SpecsTheSpectralDragon 8:10 pm Falling off of a cliff just seems terrible, really. Chaoit 8:10 pm ....all of this sounds terrible opatoes 8:11 pm ... I'm pretty sure I'm like, immortal or something. _Whirl 8:11 pm I've sampled a lot of what the multiverse has to offer. gaugebusters, LITERAL death liquor--which I survived, by the way--and at least one drink that was... at least 50% liquid drugs? Not that I knew THAT at the time. verdigrisprowl 8:11 pm *oop, sits up. pings a comm feed to his alternate.* Kelpy 8:11 pm Do you still want the rust held off? _Whirl 8:11 pm Yeah, no solid particles. radioactivibee 8:11 pm Smokey, we're not testing that theory. Kelpy 8:11 pm OKay. _Whirl 8:11 pm ...how--*looks to Rumble* How did you land on your face? opatoes 8:11 pm Come on, Bee- I'm pretty sure it's a drink! Chillsins 8:11 pm *Blue wiggles out of dad's arms and plops FATLY onto the floor.

NoodlesAtNight 8:12 pm [[They did.]] [[Somewhat.]] Kelpy 8:12 pm OKay good I didn't miss it. radioactivibee 8:12 pm In that case, Swerve, send me a recording of Smokey after the drink. NoodlesAtNight 8:12 pm //Landed on my face cuz I didn't land on my feet.// _Whirl 8:12 pm Let's see if I can figure out what any of this is about. My challenge for the night.

NoodlesAtNight 8:13 pm [[It does.]] MedicalMurdersaurus 8:13 pm *flicks the goodie off his talon and into the crowd* Clich.A 8:13 pm And then there was Harvey Dent? Old? And cell phones?? ????? NoodlesAtNight 8:13 pm [[Ah. That is Harvey Bullock.]] Clich.A 8:13 pm Oooooh OmicronTheIceQueen 8:14 pm Racer: O,o *standing under Icy, is this inside and outside again?* _Whirl 8:14 pm Nice.

They must smell. SCProwl 9:50 pm Learning how to fight within the confounds of rules and safety is an excellent way to begin. He doesn't need to learn how to street fight immediately. opatoes 9:50 pm If you got a nose, you gotta use it 24/7 _Whirl 9:50 pm Dunno how good or bad humans are at that sort of thing.

NoodlesAtNight 9:53 pm [[No, it was attached to the table.]] Kelpy 9:53 pm Was that a way to ask for help or an extra bit of shrapnel verdigrisprowl 9:53 pm A calling card?

Useful. Wanna see if two people are colluding through their cologne? You can do it. Wanna track down an armory because you can detect trace amounts of weapons-grade nucleon across an enemy lunar facility? All possible, through the power of smell. NoodlesAtNight 9:58 pm =You.= *Flicks at paw toward Whirl.* =I like you.= verdigrisprowl 9:58 pm ((ed plz)) OmicronTheIceQueen 9:58 pm Racer: *little paws swipe at the feeling happily, to play and not to hurt* SpecsTheSpectralDragon 9:58 pm ((ED!

NoodlesAtNight 9:59 pm *The tendrils twitch and flicker, wiggling at Racer like prey worms, occasionally booping him on the nose.* SpecsTheSpectralDragon 9:59 pm Puzzles are fun. And his are delightful. verdigrisprowl 9:59 pm *he's like Prowl, but with about 40% less social skills. ... Which is saying something.* NoodlesAtNight 9:59 pm *And a sense of smell.* verdigrisprowl 10:00 pm *And a sense of smell.* Chillsins 10:00 pm *Chill, armed with treats in one hand and a Rebel in the other, wanders over to the New Couch.* I come in peace. Kelpy 10:00 pm My smell's not that advanced but I can tell you chemical make up of metal with my hands. opatoes 10:00 pm Puzzles are pretty fun, I guess- but I'm not all that into them. Then again, I'm bad at them. verdigrisprowl 10:00 pm *analyzing shrapnel and butting in on the autopsies.* NoodlesAtNight 10:00 pm [[Hmm. This human - Hargrove? What will the law do with him if it can keep him? He is forced into this, and he was cooperating.

NoodlesAtNight 10:01 pm *He's gonna pad over and come sniff those hands.* Kelpy 10:01 pm They got receptors in the fingers. [wigglewiggle fingers] verdigrisprowl 10:01 pm Strictly speaking, unless his life was in immediate jeopardy, charges can still be filed against him as though he'd done it willingly. SpecsTheSpectralDragon 10:02 pm Strictly speaking is horrible. Kelpy 10:02 pm He mentioned something about his brother under threat? SpecsTheSpectralDragon 10:02 pm Families stick together. That's what they do. verdigrisprowl 10:02 pm In reality, in such circumstances, charges are often lessened or dismissed. Especially since he's cooperated. _Whirl 10:02 pm That's the vast majority of "justice systems" for you, dragon. Kelpy 10:02 pm Ya NoodlesAtNight 10:02 pm =...You have finger tongues?= Kelpy 10:02 pm Something like that [snorts] Chillsins 10:02 pm *Chill offers the treats to the Elder Spawn, as appeasement, and she takes them greedily.* opatoes 10:02 pm ... she's not lying is she radioactivibee 10:02 pm .......that's a weird...ok then. _Whirl 10:03 pm *can't help but snicker* Chillsins 10:03 pm Rebel:...What's a... *she puts a treat in her mouth* a lug?

Thank you for letting me come, Soundwave. *there goes the dragon, back to her universe* NoodlesAtNight 10:20 pm [[Goodnight, dragon.]] _Whirl 10:20 pm Seeya, dragon!

NoodlesAtNight 10:22 pm *Frenzy and Rumble mutually sigh and get up to start cleaning. Maybe they'll get to join a fight next time.* verdigrisprowl 10:22 pm ... Rough estimate, how many facial expressions does Gym have? opatoes 10:22 pm Hey Rumble, Friendzy, you need any help cleaning? NoodlesAtNight 10:22 pm [[Clenched Jaw, Bad Fake Smile, Tired, Bored.]] Chillsins 10:22 pm Could let Blue loose on the floor, she'll eat anything. Kelpy 10:23 pm Have we seen more than five? verdigrisprowl 10:23 pm I can do every one of those. OmicronTheIceQueen 10:23 pm Hurt cop? _Whirl 10:23 pm *pauses. Watches Rumble and Frenzy for a moment. Looks around the place, at the damage still there. Hm. Hmm... well. Well, he knows what he's got to do* Kelpy 10:23 pm Can you do grimace in pain, we saw that too. _Whirl 10:23 pm @Wheeljack: Raincheck on the fight. verdigrisprowl 10:23 pm Does "clenched jaw" cover "grimace in pain"? Kelpy 10:23 pm I think it could if you're a Stocic Dude. _Whirl 10:23 pm Okay, Prowl, but can you fight armed only with office supplies? NoodlesAtNight 10:23 pm [[Please do not eat the trash this week, or convince anyone else to do it.]] opatoes 10:23 pm Can I eat the trash? NoodlesAtNight 10:24 pm \\NO EATIN' TRASH.\\ OmicronTheIceQueen 10:24 pm *peers at prowl at that question* Chillsins 10:24 pm Blue can handle it, I promise. But sure. verdigrisprowl 10:24 pm I've /metaphorically/ fought armed only with office supplies. opatoes 10:24 pm ... Can I take it home, then? NoodlesAtNight 10:24 pm //'N nah, you don't gotta stay 'n help. We're jus' gonna - uh. I mean... sssssssure?// Chillsins 10:24 pm *Blue PEEPS loudly to confirm. She can eat anything that's not, like, lava.* NoodlesAtNight 10:24 pm [[....How do you METAPHORICALLY fight with office supplies.]] verdigrisprowl 10:24 pm Political battles. opatoes 10:25 pm Wait, do you want my help or nah? Either way, I can at least... I don't know, finish off all the drinks? _Whirl 10:25 pm *hops up, and trots on over to the twins* Hey. Change of plans. Might as well help fix some of the mess I made, right? verdigrisprowl 10:25 pm Battles of wits and paperwork. NoodlesAtNight 10:25 pm [[Those are metaphorical fights with old grease and the mud you pick out of tires.]] OmicronTheIceQueen 10:25 pm but that's not fighting with physical office suplies Kelpy 10:25 pm Makes sense to me. NoodlesAtNight 10:25 pm [[And slingshots.]] verdigrisprowl 10:25 pm You choose your weapons, I choose mine. _Whirl 10:25 pm Honestly, Prowl, we're making this to entertain. And i can think of fewer things in this moment more entertaining than watching you go ballistic on someone with a stapler. NoodlesAtNight 10:25 pm [[He is only going by what he heard from Ratbat.]] *Holds his hands up. It's not like he remembers his senate days very well, y'know.* verdigrisprowl 10:26 pm *stares at Whirl* NoodlesAtNight 10:26 pm //Ruler'd be funnier.// verdigrisprowl 10:26 pm *keeps staring* Kelpy 10:26 pm If we're going for entertaining, I nominate Whirl for Harvey. _Whirl 10:26 pm *stares back* verdigrisprowl 10:26 pm ... That actually does sound pretty funny. _Whirl 10:26 pm I know, right? NoodlesAtNight 10:26 pm //Which Harvey?// OmicronTheIceQueen 10:26 pm Can someone record that if it happens? _Whirl 10:26 pm ...*squints* I don't think I could pull off "district attorney." NoodlesAtNight 10:26 pm [[Of course.]] Kelpy 10:26 pm Bullock verdigrisprowl 10:26 pm ((is this it.)) ((is this how the buddy cop romcom gets made)) Kelpy 10:27 pm //yes _Whirl 10:27 pm ((omfg)) Kelpy 10:27 pm No, not Dent. Jim's partner Harvey _Whirl 10:27 pm ((this is it. At Long Last)) Chillsins 10:27 pm (( Your time Has Come )) _Whirl 10:27 pm Ohh. Oh, the drunk asshole? Yeah, I can definitely do THAT. NoodlesAtNight 10:27 pm *Rumble looks up and lifts his visor long enough to squint at Whirl.* //Dunno.// //Can't see ya with a beard.// verdigrisprowl 10:27 pm *SNORTS* NoodlesAtNight 10:27 pm *Goes back to picking up floor treats and sticking them in a trash cube.* Kelpy 10:27 pm We can give Whirl a fake beard _Whirl 10:27 pm *snickers* Chillsins 10:28 pm Ehehehe. verdigrisprowl 10:28 pm Do we have to dress like humans? That's a whole lot of fabric. _Whirl 10:28 pm If you get me a fake beard we've got to get Prowl a wig, too. verdigrisprowl 10:28 pm I'm not wearing a wig. Chillsins 10:28 pm *Is reminded of the spider-web Santa beard. Glorious.* NoodlesAtNight 10:28 pm [[He could cover the fabric.]] verdigrisprowl 10:28 pm Soundwave, I was trying to get out of having to wear clothes. _Whirl 10:28 pm My prop flask is going to be full of REAL liquor though. For maximum authenticity. Kelpy 10:28 pm Whirl would need a hat. Like Harvey's. NoodlesAtNight 10:28 pm [[There are, what... sixty mech-sized blankets upstairs?]] [[...Oh. He apologizes.]] verdigrisprowl 10:29 pm Wh— _Whirl 10:29 pm I'll absolutely wear a hat. verdigrisprowl 10:29 pm ... Why do you have sixty blankets. Where did you get all that fabric. NoodlesAtNight 10:29 pm [[...Because they are warm?]] _Whirl 10:29 pm Damn, Soundwave. Doing good for yourself. NoodlesAtNight 10:29 pm [[And in different colors.]] Chillsins 10:29 pm All right, ladies. verdigrisprowl 10:29 pm *... how rich is soundwave* NoodlesAtNight 10:29 pm *Looks at Whirl all uncomprehending-like.* verdigrisprowl 10:30 pm Do you have a washing machine? Kelpy 10:30 pm Man, I only have 3 blankets. NoodlesAtNight 10:30 pm *Which is basically a blank face but a slight lean back and tilt.* verdigrisprowl 10:30 pm YOU have three blankets?! _Whirl 10:30 pm Hey! Windchill! *points* ...good to see you, mech. *looks to Blue to give a farewell beep*...and then looks to Rebel* That's how you say "goodbye" in beeps. Kelpy 10:30 pm Yeah! I got them at some bargain basement store on some organic planet. Chillsins 10:30 pm *Rebel sticks out her tongue.* Yeah. You look...a little better. verdigrisprowl 10:31 pm Oh. Huh. NoodlesAtNight 10:31 pm [[Of course. How else is he supposed to keep them clean?]] *Taps his fingers.* [[Of course, getting that delivered was a problem. The humans insisted it had to go to a place where they could install it themselves.]] Agooddistraction858 10:31 pm Whirl, ping me whenever you're done and I'll show ya something verdigrisprowl 10:31 pm The benefits of travel. Kelpy 10:31 pm Four shanix for the lot! _Whirl 10:31 pm Only marginally better than a slavering undead monstrosity. But that's how I normally look, so. *shrugs* Chillsins 10:31 pm *He has to pluck Rebel from the back of the couch, but Blue climbs up Chill's arm voluntarily.* _Whirl 10:31 pm *salutes Wheeljack* verdigrisprowl 10:31 pm *Soundwave has a washing machine.* Chillsins 10:31 pm You saying I got bad taste? NoodlesAtNight 10:32 pm [[It was fine, though. He didn't mind spending a month's rent on a place for them to go to and sending the twins to pick it up later.]] verdigrisprowl 10:32 pm *You can take the mech out of the senate but you can't take the senator out of the mech.* _Whirl 10:32 pm *deadpan* You REALLY want me to answer that, 'Chill? Agooddistraction858 10:32 pm See ya NoodlesAtNight 10:32 pm [[Goodbye, Wheeljack.]] *Has NO IDEA this is a thing. As far as he's concerned it's good house upkeep for precious gifts.* Chillsins 10:32 pm It was a rhetorical question. Even I can manage those at times. verdigrisprowl 10:32 pm That's impressively convoluted. OmicronTheIceQueen 10:32 pm *chirps for racer* NoodlesAtNight 10:33 pm [[He's done stranger things to acquire Earth products.]] OmicronTheIceQueen 10:33 pm (laptop is over heating, see you guys!) verdigrisprowl 10:33 pm ... Can I wash my shamwow here? _Whirl 10:33 pm I see. Forgive me, this one time. *salutes Windchill, as well* Take care of yourself, bolts-for-brains. NoodlesAtNight 10:33 pm ((bye!!)) Chillsins 10:33 pm (( Night! )) _Whirl 10:33 pm seeya!)) Kelpy 10:33 pm //bye!\ verdigrisprowl 10:33 pm ((gnight)) Chillsins 10:33 pm *Sticks his gross and mildly traumatizing tongue out.* NoodlesAtNight 10:33 pm [[If you wish. Chimera can show you how. They enjoy that task.]] [[Something about the spinning wash loads being mesmerizing.]] OmicronTheIceQueen 10:34 pm ([thank you for the stream! also doing some more TF themed dreamcatchers soon if anyone has requests to see <<) _Whirl 10:34 pm If the greyfaces ever give me my tongue back, it's OVER for all of you. Raspberries like nobody's BUSINESS. verdigrisprowl 10:34 pm *this is going to be the fanciest thing Prowl's done in his LIFE.* ... Some washing machines have windows. Does yours? Kelpy 10:34 pm Did you know humans invented little portabe washers now? Chillsins 10:34 pm You think you can out-gross me? I learned from a true master. You stand no chance. None at all. Kelpy 10:35 pm And ones that come with *dryers* attached _Whirl 10:35 pm ...you're right. But I had a LOT of tongue last time, so my rapsberry will be extremely impressive. NoodlesAtNight 10:35 pm [[The round one in the front? Yes. That's where they watch the blankets.]] *Soundwave glances over to Swerve.* [[...More portable than the boxy ones?]] Chillsins 10:35 pm ...I'll give you that. NoodlesAtNight 10:35 pm [[But those are so easy to move already.]] verdigrisprowl 10:35 pm ... Can I watch? Kelpy 10:35 pm I think so! They're small counter ones. I think they're called pandas. Or maybe that's the brand? I'm not entirely sure. _Whirl 10:36 pm *at any rate, Whirl is gonna stick around and help clean. It seemed like the decent thing to do, and he is Trying ™️ * Chillsins 10:36 pm *Consider yourselves blessed with Three weirdos sticking their tongues out.* _Whirl 10:36 pm *if The Tongue ever returns, you're getting paid back in spades, buster* Chillsins 10:37 pm *This is fair.* You guys have fun eating trash without me. I know that's what's going on when I'm not here. NoodlesAtNight 10:37 pm [[Of course you may.]] *Stares at Swerve.* [[That is not a panda. A panda is a black and white creature that eats a plant called bamboo, has difficulty mating, and is almost extinct.]] Chillsins 10:37 pm I gotta put these to bed. _Whirl 10:37 pm Catch ya later! NoodlesAtNight 10:38 pm [[...It is irritating that he knows this.]] Kelpy 10:38 pm Maybe they named it after pandas? Though I dunno why Chillsins 10:38 pm *He'd wave dramatically but his arms are full.* Bye, sucker. Kelpy 10:38 pm //real talk tho i'm dying for a panda counter dishwasher bc god know si hate dishes gbvgfv verdigrisprowl 10:38 pm ...... Can I record it? NoodlesAtNight 10:38 pm //We only eat trash when Buzzsaw cooks.// \\PFFF.\\ Chillsins 10:38 pm *Blue reaches out to make a grabby hand, it's supposed to be a bye-bye hand but she's not privy to such nuances yet.* Wub! _Whirl 10:39 pm *clicks his claw at her and gives the good-bye beep!* Chillsins 10:39 pm *Blue BEEPS.* NoodlesAtNight 10:39 pm *Rumble looks in surprise at Whirl, since he's gonna be cleaning. Gives him a bop in thanks and goes back to work with a grin.* Chillsins 10:39 pm *And they're gone.* Kelpy 10:39 pm Time for me to head out too. Gotta chase more grey faces from my bar. Night! NoodlesAtNight 10:39 pm [[...What, record a panda? He supposes, but he'd have to track one down first. Do you feel strongly about breaking and entering when it comes to human zoos?]] _Whirl 10:39 pm *you get a nudge in return, Rumble. And then, it's back to work* NoodlesAtNight 10:40 pm \\NIGHT, SWERVE. DON'T GET TURNED INTO NOTHIN' WEIRD.\\ verdigrisprowl 10:40 pm *hm. when Prowl offers to help clean, Soundwave tells him he doesn't need to.* Kelpy 10:40 pm I WON'T! NIGHT. [waves] verdigrisprowl 10:40 pm *decides not to feel slighted; maybe the exception is only because the place was recently trashed.* No, I meant your washing machine. While it's washing. NoodlesAtNight 10:41 pm *Technically, he doesn't need Whirl to help either. He's letting Whirl do it because he can see when Rumble's being as twitterpated as he himself was recently accused of.* [[Oh. Yes, of course. But he must know - why this interest in them?]] verdigrisprowl 10:42 pm It's a /washing machine./ NoodlesAtNight 10:42 pm [[You've never asked about anything else he has here.]] verdigrisprowl 10:42 pm ......... Can... I show the video at work? NoodlesAtNight 10:42 pm [[And you have seen his primary storage quar-- er - yes, he supposes so...?]] [[..............Is this a kink he does not know about?]] verdigrisprowl 10:43 pm ... I didn't see your storage by your consent. *therefore—it's off limits.* What? No. ... Maybe? I'm sure somebody out there has a washing machine kink. NoodlesAtNight 10:43 pm [[Ah. Well, we can change that if you'd like. He trusts you not to take things from him without permission.]] verdigrisprowl 10:44 pm ... I'd like that, sometime. NoodlesAtNight 10:44 pm [[And if it is not that, why all this focus on it? It is just a cleaning appliance. No different than a dust collector or a - a sink.]] *Soundwave bobs his helm.* [[So it will be done, soon.]] verdigrisprowl 10:44 pm Everyone has a sink. verdigrisprowl 10:45 pm You, however, have imported enough off-world fabric to justify importing a specialized piece of off-world machinery designed specifically to clean it. ... Is that... Is that not... a thing, here? NoodlesAtNight 10:49 pm [[He doesn't know that he would call it a 'thing'. Not /everyone/ cares for fabric blankets. He finds they scratch him less than the mesh or chainmail blankets, though. And their colors and patterns give him something soothing to focus on before recharge.]] *He taps his chin with a finger.* [[Arcee likes them. He believes she has a few dozen herself. The Jack human likes to save them up as gifts for when she visits.]] [[He does not know if she has a machine, though. Perhaps she should get one.]] verdigrisprowl 10:49 pm *... huffs.* NoodlesAtNight 10:49 pm *Huffing.* [[She'll deny it if you ask, but he has seen them. They have Earth motorcycles on them. Pinups.]] verdigrisprowl 10:50 pm Hers have PATTERNS? NoodlesAtNight 10:51 pm [[.......Yes? Many of them do. He doesn't care for motorcycles, himself, but there are a few with crossed lines and starbursts upstairs. Quite beautiful. And Ravage would claw you before letting you touch his panther one.]] [[...Do you not have any, yourself?]] verdigrisprowl 10:53 pm Fabric blankets? With patterns?? No. NoodlesAtNight 10:53 pm [[Strange. He would have thought with you being an Autobot, and your faction's pet humans...]] verdigrisprowl 10:54 pm I know I've worked for a couple of Primes, but despite what people who haven't might imagine, I wasn't making THAT kind of a paycheck. NoodlesAtNight 10:55 pm [[Odd. He's heard that /other/ timelines' Autobots get Earth currency allowances. Some of them even go purchasing items in public without upsetting humans. Not ours, of course - but some of the ones like Swoop's.]] [[Well. We'll fix that.]] verdigrisprowl 10:56 pm ... But I suppose they /do/ lose a little cachet when you know an alien who's willing to just give them away, don't they. NoodlesAtNight 10:56 pm *Soundwave pops a bridge overhead and stretches his feelers into it. Give him a minute and a half and he'll have picked out a black and white zebra stripe, a red one, and a blue one. * verdigrisprowl 10:56 pm I— Wh—? NoodlesAtNight 10:57 pm [[Cachet?]] *Got them. Here you go.* [[They're just blankets, Prowl.]] [[Fancy tarps, really.]] verdigrisprowl 10:59 pm /Extremely/ fancy tarps! *his jaw almost drops when Soundwave hands him the blankets. Look at the stripy one. Primus below.* NoodlesAtNight 11:01 pm [[You're welcome to borrow the cleaning device if they get filthy, though a sink and a corrugated surface works as well in an emergency.]] [[What's extreme about them?]] *He tilts his head. These are no different from any of the other ones he's seen.* verdigrisprowl 11:02 pm ... I can't possibly— If I walked into Iacon with these draped over my shoulder people would start asking me how many moons I own. NoodlesAtNight 11:03 pm *A long, long silence and a good staring.* [[...He's sorry. What?]] verdigrisprowl 11:04 pm Is—Is fabric—really just—not a big deal here? Did it become THAT common after you visited Earth? NoodlesAtNight 11:07 pm [[Earth supplies were all most of us had /access/ to for the last few years of the war.]] *He shrugs.* [[Enough Autobots have human connections to get what their comrades need. Most of the Decepticons either prefer Cybertronian material or - ah. Hmm. Find ways to get the Earth items they want, let's say. The humans have far more to spare than our own planet.]] [[Is it NOT common on your planet?]] verdigrisprowl 11:08 pm Let me put it this way. verdigrisprowl 11:09 pm Before the war, Sentinel Prime sent me to Senator Ratbat's penthouse, with his cape in a locked briefcase, in order to beg permission to use his washing machine. NoodlesAtNight 11:09 pm [[...You're pulling his leg.]] verdigrisprowl 11:10 pm ... "Beg" might be an exaggeration. Most of the begging was subtext. NoodlesAtNight 11:11 pm *Soundwave leans back to process this.* [[You - you had fabric /before/ the war?]] verdigrisprowl 11:11 pm /I/ didn't. NoodlesAtNight 11:11 pm [[Your Cybertron, then.]] verdigrisprowl 11:12 pm Senators and those who moved in their circles did. Oh, and the Functionist Council. They made quite a show of it when they first paraded out in their dozen capes. verdigrisprowl 11:14 pm I investigated a case where someone in the Primal Vanguard who'd come back from space with a scarf was robbed. A burglary, just to steal the scarf. NoodlesAtNight 11:16 pm [[That - it--]] *Soundwave holds up a hand for a second before pressing it to his crest.* [[That's absurd. These things are no more expensive than... hmm. Two or three human meals. He would think /those/ are more valuable. Those are perishable.]] verdigrisprowl 11:16 pm Maybe they're not expensive if you're ON Earth. verdigrisprowl 11:18 pm What do you think it cost to take leisure trips off of Cybertron—to go somewhere in the galaxy where fabric like that is plentiful? Or the cost to export fabric through the few merchants willing to trade with a mechanical planet? You had to be a soldier, or insanely rich. ... And you can't wear human meals. NoodlesAtNight 11:21 pm [[He wouldn't know. Nobody left our planet for... hmm. Not since the rust plagues. We didn't even know there was anywhere else /to/ go, once the colonies began to fail.]] *Pause.* [[He takes that back. Shockwave was trying to investigate a distant planet near the end of the war. But aside from that...]] NoodlesAtNight 11:22 pm [[We did not even find an organic planet for at least... three, four bridge jumps?]] verdigrisprowl 11:23 pm Hm. Well. If one of your colonies had crossed paths with an organic world with fabric, how much do you think it would have cost to export it home? NoodlesAtNight 11:23 pm [[Not as much as a moon!]] *You'll have to forgive him, Prowl. He's trying to wrap himself around a financial concept he has little to no basis for.* verdigrisprowl 11:24 pm *holds the zebra blanket up* This has STRIPES! NoodlesAtNight 11:25 pm [[...They don't make it heavier.]] *That would increase the cost, wouldn't it? If it was more trouble to transport?* *But they've all come through the bridge fine. Except the weird, shiny, flat purple one. That one singed a little at the edges.* verdigrisprowl 11:26 pm No but it's—it's—extra craftsmanship! You can't just drop it in a vat of dye and call it a day! A CRAFTSMAN made this. NoodlesAtNight 11:27 pm [[A factory machine made that.]] verdigrisprowl 11:27 pm ... Oh. *looks at the stripes.* ... it's still impressive. NoodlesAtNight 11:27 pm [[...Do you /want/ one made by a craftsman?]] verdigrisprowl 11:28 pm God, no. That really WOULD be excessive. This is—ALREADY excessive. Three blankets! For a forensic investigator! NoodlesAtNight 11:29 pm [[He supposes this is a bad time to mention that he thought about giving you a green and a purple one to take back to the Constructicons.]] *He'd decided against it because Bonecrusher would probably figure he'd bugged it.* verdigrisprowl 11:30 pm *slowly looks at Soundwave* ... I was actually going to ask. NoodlesAtNight 11:31 pm [[He doesn't mind, if you want them. You like them. They're important to you and other mechs on your Cybertron, it seems - and to him, they're not irreplaceable.]] verdigrisprowl 11:33 pm ... I mean. *looks at the blankets guiltily* I'm... not entirely sure I LIKE them, per se. I'm IMPRESSED by them. They're—impressive. NoodlesAtNight 11:33 pm *Pauses.* [[Besides, had he known their worth on your planet, he would have given you at /least/ ten.]] verdigrisprowl 11:33 pm I don't know what I'm going to do wYOU WHAT? NoodlesAtNight 11:34 pm *Shrugs.* [[As he said. They're not as important to him. You are. And you impressing others is.]] verdigrisprowl 11:34 pm ... Three's fine. Three's excessive. NoodlesAtNight 11:34 pm [[Though if you don't particularly like them he won't force you to take them. But... he /has/ seen some that are... 'fuzzy'.]] [[Merely a thought.]] verdigrisprowl 11:35 pm *optics flicker* Oh. No—no thank you. These are fine. NoodlesAtNight 11:35 pm *He's seen how Prowl reacts to that texture.* verdigrisprowl 11:35 pm ... And one for the Constructicons. NoodlesAtNight 11:35 pm [[As you wish. Which color?]] verdigrisprowl 11:35 pm You said you have a green and purple one? NoodlesAtNight 11:36 pm [[Not together. One of each.]] verdigrisprowl 11:36 pm Oh. *well. they certainly don't need TWO.* ... Green. They prefer green. NoodlesAtNight 11:37 pm [[Very well.]] *And he's a little glad for that. He likes purple. Not so much green. Up the feelers go. The green one is, in fact, still rolled and wrapped. It's just not his color.* [[...He hopes you do not think him a fool for not realizing what he was saying.]] *Passes it over.* verdigrisprowl 11:39 pm If fabric wasn't a big deal on your planet, it wasn't a big deal. verdigrisprowl 11:40 pm *very carefully adds the green blanket to his pile. He's got them draped across his forearms, very carefully, keeping them flat and trying to keep the blankets away from his elbows and wrists so they don't catch on anything. The way no less a figure than Sentinel Prime himself taught him to carry fabric. NoodlesAtNight 11:41 pm *Can see that care, and wonders if he's being too careless with them, himself. Perhaps he ought to try looking at them from Prowl's point of view some time? Might make him appreciate the gifts and purchases all the more.* [[...You have to tell him more about your days with Sentinel Prime, some time. He has the feeling you have other interesting stories hidden in your subspace pocket.]] verdigrisprowl 11:42 pm *huff.* I doubt you'll enjoy it. NoodlesAtNight 11:45 pm *Light torso bobbing.* [[Perhaps. Perhaps not. Even if they themselves are not enjoyable, acquiring useful knowledge is. Besides,]] *and here he stretches a little,* [[he is ever curious about who you were and have been. A picture of the full Prowl, and not merely the one he knows now.]] verdigrisprowl 11:46 pm Hm. ... We'll trade stories, sometime. NoodlesAtNight 11:47 pm [[Though the one he knows now is, of course, priceless to him. But you've probably realized that now that he's given you three blankets.]] *Soft huff. It's a playful comment.* [[And he would like that. Probably.]] verdigrisprowl 11:47 pm Worth at least one moon, I see. *humor ping.* NoodlesAtNight 11:48 pm [[He would offer you both, but he does not know where your Cybertron's other moon is.]] *Humor ping right back.* verdigrisprowl 11:49 pm Hm. ... For another three blankets, maybe I'll tell you. I'm joking, I don't need more blankets. NoodlesAtNight 11:50 pm [[Hmm. He can think of three things you /would/ like, but you would probably prefer to get to work on time tomorrow.]] *Stretches again and rises, offering a curling feeler for assistance and balance.* verdigrisprowl 11:52 pm ... Don't tempt me. *gonna, kinda, balance his elbow on the feeler, so he doesn't have to adjust his hold of the fabric.* *looks down at his haul.* ... The Constructicons are going to lose their minds. NoodlesAtNight 11:55 pm [[Do not worry. He left his days of automatically defying Autobots behind with his faction badge.]] *Glances at the rolled blanket.* [[Feel free to let them know you asked for it for them. They might like that.]] *As opposed to saying that Soundwave had anything to do with it, that is.* verdigrisprowl 11:56 pm Mm. They'll know the truth. *BUT they'll know that Prowl intended to even before he was offered; and they'll know that he picked out the green for them. They should like that.* NoodlesAtNight 11:58 pm *Nods. He doesn't want to interrupt Prowl's fabric-holding, so--* [[If you do not mind, may he bump the side of your helm? He's loath to send you on tonight without at least that.]] verdigrisprowl 11:59 pm ... You don't think we can manage a kiss? NoodlesAtNight 11:59 pm [[He thinks we can, but he didn't want to assume.]] Yesterday verdigrisprowl 11:59 pm The math works out. NoodlesAtNight 12:00 am [[And he is ever thankful for its existence.]] *He'll get himself as close to appropriately positioned as he can figure out without having Prowl's sense of mathematics.* verdigrisprowl 12:01 am *and Prowl will slide the fabric under his bumper and lean in the rest of the way.* NoodlesAtNight 12:02 am *...Clever, clever mech. Soundwave might be silently laughing into Prowl's mouth when he gets that visor lifted and kisses him.* verdigrisprowl 12:03 am *good. now hold that position, Prowl plans on keeping this up for a bit.* NoodlesAtNight 12:04 am *Oh, well. By all means. He'll carry on with that (and the occasional nip from fangs or inner jaws) as long as Prowl wishes tonight.*

yo im lovin these random facts, can you tell more???

surehummingbirds beat their wings over three hundred times in a minute. Ostritches eyes are bigger than their brainsThe largest bird in the world is the winged albatross, which has a wingspan of 6 feet. The largest aerial animal in recorded history is the pteranadon with a total wingspan of 18 feet. Thats the size of a school bus.The largest recorded shark in history is the prehistoric megalodon, with a total body length of forty feet. Its jaws were big enough to swallow something the size of a minivanA monarch butterfly is actually poisonous to anything that eats it. Its not enough to kill its predator but the predator will never eat a monarch againWalruses can ride out ocean storms in the arctic naturally. Around their necks they have a cavity that can be filled with oxygen. Once inflated, it acts as a life preserver and keeps the walrus's head afloatBaby horses can walk mere minutes after being bornCrocodiles have the greatest jaw strength in the animal kingdom, but only when biting down. If you hold their jaw shut, they wont be able to open it. They can also run at speeds up to 35 mph in a straight line, so if youre ever being chased, run in zigzags.More people die in toilet related accidents per year than shark attacksThe velociraptors featured in jurassic park (and jurassic world for that matter) arent scientifically accurate. Velociraptors were actually covered in feathers and had colourful crests. They were much smaller too, only about four feet tall on average. The fossils that proved these factors were actually discovered the year after jurassic park's release. The graphic designer for jurassic park expressed his frustration at this, saying "we made it and then they discovered it".T-rexs almost never actually hunted and killed for food. Like vultures today, they were scavengers and ate whatever dead or dying prey they could find.The modern chicken and the t-rex are actually very close in relation with each other. Speaking evolutionarilly, the chicken is closer to the t-rex than any reptile species.I actually had a lot of fun with this. I was really into palentology as a kid so i loved prehistoric creatures. I cant believe i remember this much

also i feel like sum of the reasons why ppl hate her are kinda... strange. let me explain

and im gonna be usin chisei as an example, not cus chisei simps are the ones who despise xia mi, but cus he's the best example. and btw xia mi = shavee, i just like name xia mi more, so imma be usin it

firstly, there are valid reasons for not likin her, but what i mean is that ppl's reasons for hatin her is bout 80% just "she almoust killed johann" or "she lied".

its valid to dislike her for lyin, but dont be a hypocrite and say that sumone like chisei is fine for lying. he lied, multable times and straight up to the player's character's face, and still doesnt get the same treatment as xia mi does. chisei almoust killed both you and yo team, whitch includes johann btw, and still gets treated as "Uwu soft boi he didnt actually wanna hurt us owo". the fandom fuckin luvs him, even tho arguably, he did worse things.

then "she almoust killed johann"... so did chisei tho? i dont see him gettin his name cencored, called a snake and a whore. he still gets treated as the lovin older brother who didnt do anythin actually wrong. the most xia mi did was stab johann, while chisei left us on the bottom of the sea, tried to kill us multable times trough out the game and would have very much have killed us given the chance.

let me say it agian, its valid to dislike or even hate her, and im not here to make anyone change their minds, this is mostly a rant bout how differently female and male characters are treated in the fandom

im never goin to get over how the game handled xia mi's character
