#you will be told Supreme Leader is awesome

[kokorosfanfics]

Hi! I was wondering if you were able to do some fluff of a character that you would like to do! And can it be gender neutral?

Awesome, I've been requested to write literally anything I want as long as it's fluff. -Mod Kokoro

Beloved of The Supreme Leader. Kokichi Ouma x Reader!

Every day when you came into class, you were always met with something on your desk. Always some kind of gift. Sometimes you found chocolates and candies, other times you found poetry and letters, or occasionally flowers. Sometimes you'd find cute accessories and trinkets. It was obvious someone had a crush on you. But there was the mystery. Who was it?

Today, you came into class like any other day. There it was, a lovely gift box sitting on your desk. It was just waiting for you to open it.

"Wooooow S/O. Someone must reeeeeeaaally like you!" Your best friend, Kokichi Ouma said.

"Gee, really? What was your first clue?" You joked as you went to see what your secret admirer gave you this time.

Kokichi sat right next to you in class. You'd spend most of class time goofing off, hardly ever doing actual work. It was nice, actually. Just two best friends living their lives joyfully without a care in the world. Who could ask for more?

Well. There was something. You secretly wished you were more than just friends with Kokichi. The truth was, you had fallen for him. But you had no idea how he felt about you. You didn't want to risk potentially making things awkward, so you always kept quiet. Secretly, you hoped the secret admirer was Kokichi all along.

"Come oooooon S/O! Let's see what he got you." Kokichi enthusiastically awaited for you to open it.

"Alright, alright." You giggled as you began to slowly unwrap it.

Kokichi bit his lip in anticipation, but you didn't catch it.

"S/O. I've been sending you gifts for quite sometime now. I feel confident now that I am ready to tell you to your face how I feel about you. After school ends, I want to meet by the roof on the side closest to the sun. See you soon."

"Soooo what's it say?" Your best friend asked.

"It says he wants to meet today on the roof after class today!" You exclaimed.

"Are you gonna meet him?"

"Heck yeah I'm gonna meet him! I've been wanting to who this is since this first started!" You jumped in excitement. You'd finally get to meet your secret admirer! You could barely contain your excitement.

"Usually his letters aren't in boxes. Is there something else in there perhaps?" He asked.

"You're right, there probably is." You looked again inside the box. Kokichi was right. Inside was a heart necklace. It was silver, but with the right side of the heart shining in a beautiful purple.

"Wow!" You breathed in amazement. After sliding it around your neck, you turned to face your best friend.

"How do I look?" You asked excitedly.

"Nee heehee! I think it's lovely. You look cute wearing that." He told you. Was that a slight tint of pink on his cheeks?

Eventually, the rest of your classmates came in. Class was about to start, so you both sat down as you waited. You were in the back row closest by the window. The two of you had a whole corner to yourselves that the class liked to call "The Clown Corner."

An hour had already passed, and your phone buzzed. You pulled it out to find a text from Kokichi.

Kokichi: So who do you think your admirer is?

S/O: I'm not sure, but I have a hunch.

Kokichi: Tell meeee!

S/O: I don't wanna say just yet in case I jinx it.

Kokichi: Do you already like somebody?

S/O: Perhaps. But I won't say who.

Kokichi: I can't believe my greatest friend doesn't trust me! :(

S/O: I don't want you to tease me!

Kokichi: What, me? Teasing you? I could never!

S/O: Like how you never tease Kiibo for being a robot?

Kokichi: Touche.

Kokichi: So anyways, I need to start something before I die of boredom from this class.

All of the sudden, a piece of lead hit Tenko in the back of her head.

"Ouch! Who did that?" She turned behind her to see Kaito, absentmindedly doing his work.

"You degenerate male! You have some nerve throwing lead at me! HIYAAAAAAAH!" She karate chopped him so hard he fell out of his seat.

"HEY! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" He shouted.

"GRRRR YOU KNOW WHAT THAT WAS FOR!"

"I LITERALLY DID NOT DO ANYTHING TO YOU!" Kaito yelled.

"YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO YELL AT ME! I'LL THROW YOU OUT THE WINDOW SO FAST!"

"OH YEAH? THROW ME! I DARE YOU!"

"Mkay, you know what kids? Step out." Your teacher made them leave the class with him.

You pulled out your phone.

S/O: LMAO that was so you, wasn't it?

Kokichi: I can't believe I'm being accused! We all knew it was Kaito."

S/O: Yeah that's a lie.

Kokichi: Yup it was.

S/O: Was framing Kaito a bonus?

Kokichi: It certainly was.

You and Kokichi giggled to each other. You knew he and Kaito butted heads often, so you could feel the satisfaction he got from Kaito getting into trouble.

The door opened, and in stepped Tenko. She strutted to her seat with pride, and Kaito could be heard cussing from afar. Your teacher had a grouchy look on his face.

"Nyeh? Tenko where's Kaito?" Himiko asked.

"Pfft! That degenerate male got sent to the principals office." She flipped her hair.

Kokichi laughed even harder. He put a hand over his mouth, trying to keep his composure as best as he could. You did the same. Tears of laughter began to prick your eyes.

The school day drew to an end. You felt excitement rush through you. Soon, you'd be meeting your secret admirer face to face.

'Please be Kokichi. Please, PLEASE be Kokichi.' You thought to yourself. You had a gut feeling it was him. Or was that just wishful thinking? Just you hoping it was him. Could it be?

The bell rung to dismiss class.

"Well. I suppose your off to meet him now, huh?" Kokichi asked. Why was he grinning so much?

"Yup! I gotta get there quick!"

"I'll help you pack your stuff."

"Aww, thanks 'Kichi!"

Kokichi helped you finish organizing your supplies.

"Well. I'm off now. See ya!" You waved as you ran out to the roof.

"See you soon, S/O. Very soon." You didn't hear him say this.

Finally. You're here now. You looked around, it seems you were the only one here. You bit your lip in anticipation. He'd be here very soon. You began to breathe in and out slowly, hoping to calm your nerves. Your eyes closed shut, hoping and praying that when you opened them it would be Kokichi in front of you. You loved him so much, was it even possible to love anyone else at this point?

You heard footsteps approaching. Familiar footsteps. Slowly coming up behind you. He was here. It was only a matter of seconds now. The mystery was unfolding.

"Nee heehee! Hey S/O." You immediately zipped around, stunned.

It was him?

"K-Kokichi?" You gasped. Were you dreaming.

"Yup. It's me."

It was him.

"You're..... You're my secret admirer."

"That's right!" He winked.

It was him all along.

You were shocked. Stunned.

He took your hands in yours. He looked up at you with a warm smile. He was blushing. You'd never seen him blush so hard in his life.

"Everything I am about to say is the honest truth. Please don't think I am lying or that this was an elaborate prank, alright?" He sounded nervous. He began to sweat.

You nodded, feeling the heat rise to your cheeks.

"S/O. You've touched my life in a way I can't describe. I enjoy everything I do with you. It doesn't matter what we're doing, I just enjoy it. I enjoy it, because it's with you. I love you. I love you S/O. I love everything about you. I can't think of anyone or anything else I love more. I adore you, I crave your time and attention. I want your love, your affection. And I want to love you and hold you and be with you. I wanna be yours. So." He breathed in.

"Be mine?" He was as red as a tomato now. You felt his hands tremble while holding yours.

You couldn't believe what you heard. He truly felt that way about you. He wanted you just as much as you wanted him. You couldn't help crying tears of joys.

You leaned in and kissed him right on the lips. He was caught off guard, but he kissed back gently. You shared a sweet and loving kiss as the sun set in the distance, it's beautiful orange shone on you.

You pulled back, foreheads pressed together.

"Yes. I love you too, Kokichi. More than anything! So yes, I'll be with you."

Now Kokichi began to tear up. He smiled so genuinely. He was happy beyond words!

He then kissed you again, on the lips. You shared another kiss together on the roof.

"Nee heehee! I'm glad."

You noticed on his neck. He wore a matching necklace to the one he gave you. The left side had the purple on his, though.

"Aww, that's cute. The necklaces are matching." You smiled.

"I figured it was perfect for us." He winked.

The two of you left school hand in hand together, beaming with joy.

You finally had everything you wanted.

I would like to ask you for headcanons where reader is a Supreme Being that calls Momonga to a private talk where reader tells about how in the human world before YGGDRASIL reader was a spy for the Megacorps, spying on various players because the Megacorps made contact with the new world and slowly were sending player to the new world to finally they conquer the new world, but telling Momonga that after years playing with him reader decided to betray the Megacorps

I AM SO SORRY THAT THIS TOOK SO DANG LONG

Ainz

With a Megacorp Spy GN reader

“Y/N? You wish to speak?”You brought him away from the floor guardians and to a back room.You confessed that you were a Megacorp Spy, and that they were in the new world colonizing it to the south beyond the Slane TheocracyBut that you regretted it, and that you wanted to be with Nazarick more than anything.“Umu…Let's lead them into a trap then, shall we?” So you told some of the Megacorp leaders and military about your totally awesome and real plan to kill Ainz and brought them to a small desert area in the south…and well…Death is a Mercy in Nazarick.mp3Ainz definitely felt a bit betrayed, and made you tell him the whole story.When the mega corps assassinated Bell River, you were supposed to be next. But thankfully, you had some info for them that proved useful. One thing led to another, and before you knew it you were living a double life.“...Who…Who killed him?”You pointed the man out…considering what Suzuki did to him, even Neuronist would be a mercy.Bottom line is you and Ainz had a wonderful Desert holiday.

NGL Lol I'm with Macuil on this one . Like from his perspective it makes sense to not get involved.

He wants nothing to do with the corrupt violent humans and their endless bloody wars. He probably sees Edelgards war as just another war (and without knowing the details it would seem like she's just another human trying to kill and conquer. What he doesn't know is shes allied with Agarthans)

He probably thinks humans are incapable of ever achieving true peace. You'll always have someone trying to murder someone else. Say he does help Seiros win this war, he knows it's only a matter of time before humanity wages yet another war.

Macuil makes his stance known. he sets his boundaries and expects people to respect it. and when they don't respect it he will enforce it. If people approach his territory and attack him he gives them a warning and gives them a chance to leave with their lives. (Macuil will tell Claude he's his enemy but he still gives him a chance to leave). Ofc if they refuse or still go on to attack him he's like ok then, you die.

And in Hopes, the last time warring humans decided to bring their bloody BS to his territory he kicked their asses. Like damnnn, Message RECEIVED. The humans learn immediately that they should NOT approach this area or they may very well die. Y'all wanna kill eachother? Well do it somewhere else!

Anyways , Knowing what we know about Edelgards war it does seem odd that Indech and Macuil wouldn't help Seiros, but they don't know the details.

do they know Edelgard kidnapped flayn for her blood to turn people into demonic beasts? Do they know Edelgard had a custom relic made ? (A relic that didn't exist in the war of heroes !) Do they know Rhea was captured and imprisoned and can be used to make more demonic beasts and can potentially be turned into a relic herself?

Seteth doesn't get to explain anything. He just asks and they say no and he's like okiedokie ! The end.

I suspect if they knew that the Agarthans were behind it all they'd be more amenable to giving a hand (or claw) in destroying them. Like that would've been awesome! But tbh I think the devs were just lazy and didn't want to deal with the Nabateans.

Hm,

I mean, on the one hand, for sure, you make a choice, as a third party, to get involved in Supreme Leader's war or not...

Unless you're directly targeted by her!

Nopes hammers how the "Central Church" is the reason why the war started, but are we really swallowing the victim blaming to the point where we put the blame on Rhea for, uh, refusing to die/permanently leave her home and go in exile somewhere, when asked to, for starting the war?

For sure Macuil might think humans will never live in peace and will always war for a reason or another... but does it mean not helping his relatives - non-humans - who are being hunted because their ears are pointy or because they are "an obstacle" to MAGA?

Putting Rhea aside, Macuil seems to appreciate Flayn - who is part of the people hunted by Supreme Leader's war (or her allies), would Macuil, faced with her relic, come to blame "well it was unavoidable humans are humans" or would maybe feel the tiny pang of regret, "if I had joined the war effort maybe I could have saved her"?

Yeah, in a way, the Nabateans not being involved in the war feel completely bonkers, and their ignorance about the events that transpired in WC is just plot contrivance not to, imo, give to much light on Nabateans, Hresvelg Grey and well, the story isn't supposed to be about them (even if in Nopes (GW), Barney mentions stuff Supreme Leader told them about the true nature of both Rhea'n'Seteh? Is it the so called "manifesto" where she denounces them as giant lizards?)

Like, you're telling me Seteth, couldn't tell them "btw the people who caught Rhea are most likely the ones who killed our kin back then and captured Flayn to exsanguinate her, maybe she's turned in a relic right now, are you really sure you don't want to help her?" with an added "and there are weird shapeshifting humans using dark magic like the ones we met back then who are in cahoots with the one starting the war!" ?

Hell, even when Nemesis returns in VW, they don't join - when they joined back then?

-

In a way I found the Macuil tidbit about Lambert and Oleg kind of interesting, because he blasted the two of them who were warring, when Rhea - it happened once ! - tried to mediate between two warring nations (Faerghus and Adrestia).

While they both don't like wars and conflict, Macuil only cares about himself, while Rhea cares about humans and Fodlan...

Which hilariously bites her in the end - the humans she cares about and want to protect... are ultimately the ones seeking her end (we can make a point about Supreme Leader being under Slither influence, but for Claude??).

In a cruel way, Macuil was "right" to stop caring about humans, since it means he is the one who sruvives at the end of (both) games. He is the one who is the most "isolated" from humanity (you can only see him in one route!).

His self-imposed isolation justifies his non involvment, at least in FE16 (since he is in the fridge with Ionius in Nopes...).

We know he fights when war is brought to his hometurf - so I suppose, just like his sister, he would also fight if someone agitates her homemade relic asking for his head.

Would he regret not getting involved when asked when he'll see the "homemade relic" being actually the remains of said sister, while asses next wear his brother and niece as weapons?

We don't know, but given how Macuil isn't completely removed from the world - as he still cares for Flayn - I suppose he would be pissed, but that's only headcanon land because the games don't give a fuck about Nabateans, so we can only surmise and suppose and ultimately headcanon stuff about Macuil.

Saturday, Sixth Week of Eastertide/Saturday before Ascension Sunday 

(Liturgical Colour: White: A(1))

First Reading Acts of the Apostles 18:23-28 Apollos established from the Scriptures that the Christ is Jesus.

After staying in Antioch some time, Paul left and traveled in orderly sequence through the Galatian country and Phrygia, bringing strength to all the disciples.

A Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, an eloquent speaker, arrived in Ephesus. He was an authority on the Scriptures. He had been instructed in the Way of the Lord and, with ardent spirit, spoke and taught accurately about Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John. He began to speak boldly in the synagogue; but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the Way of God more accurately. And when he wanted to cross to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him. After his arrival he gave great assistance to those who had come to believe through grace. He vigorously refuted the Jews in public, establishing from the Scriptures that the Christ is Jesus.

Worthy Brief - August 23, 2024

It's all in His wonderful timing!

Judges 13:6 So the woman came and told her husband, saying, "A Man of God came to me, and His countenance was like the countenance of the Angel of God, very awesome; but I did not ask Him where He was from, and He did not tell me His name. 17 Then Manoah said to the Angel of the Lord, "What is Your name, that when Your words come to pass we may honor You?" 18 And the Angel of the Lord said to him, "Why do you ask My name, seeing it is wonderful?" 21 When the Angel of the Lord appeared no more to Manoah and his wife, then Manoah knew that He was the Angel of the Lord. 22 And Manoah said to his wife, "We shall surely die, because we have seen God!"

The children of Israel were delivered into the hands of the Philistines for 40 years for doing evil in the sight of YHVH. Then a wonderful event takes place: an announcement to a barren and childless woman that she will conceive and bear a son. The announcement is given by one who is called "malach-YHVH", literally "Angel (of) YHVH. This messenger, in two separate appearances, reveals God's commandments concerning the boy to be born. At the angel's behest, the couple offers a sacrifice to YHVH, then they ask to be told his name.

What happens next opens the eyes of the woman's husband, Manoah. The angel asks why do they desire his name for it is, "פלאי", a Hebrew word translated variously as, "miraculous", "wonderous", "supremely wonderful", "secret", "beyond understanding", and a word seeming to be used as both an adjective and a noun. But then, as the flame of their sacrifice blazes up from the altar toward heaven, this angel of YHVH ascends in the flame! At this, Manoah exclaims to his wife, "We are doomed to die! We have seen God!" From this, we conclude that the Image of God, the pre-incarnate Yeshua has once again appeared to His beloved servants for deliverance at a critical moment in the history of His people Israel.

Forty years, often described as a number of testing, a long season during which time the Lord allows the sins of His people to produce their inevitable fruit of judgment and subjugation. Then, at His chosen moment, our God returns for deliverance. And He returns in Person, with unequivocal authority and deep wonder.

Pete, are you also wondering, "When will God show up!?" The story of the birth of Samson may hold an answer. God will show up precisely when His time of testing has been accomplished! And when He does, you may need to deal with the divine impact of His revelation, and as you worship Him, stand in awe of how "absolutely and supremely wonderful" He is. So, don't be impatient during the time of testing. The deliverance and the wonder will be well worth the wait.

Have a great weekend … Shabbat Shalom!

Your family in the Lord with much agape love,

George, Baht Rivka, Obadiah and Elianna (Missouri) (Baltimore, MD)

Oh I meant poor Seteth in a shitposting sense lol

Like when he goes "no Rhea, you can't go" she's all "yes, I have already asked Cyril btw, i don't care about what you say :)."

Or when he's all "I'm not sure it's a good idea to take Shez with us", she looks at him and then goes "ok Shez you can come :) "

To end with the ultimate reason why this super sacred shield is hidden in a mountain "Indech made it for Cichol, but Seiros passed it down to Great Emperor Wilhelm because he was just so awesome" and you can see how done he is with all her antics - it might not be the first time she "borrows" his things but he doesn't care anymore

I actually didn't really like how FE16 portrayed their relationship - maybe to highlight Billy's special status - as not downright antagonistic or negative, but Rhea's keeping things from him to the point where he can ditch her in CF because "she's not the same" anymore and he's ok with letting her die against Nemesis V.2. - something this game changed, as we see him doubt and initially refuse leaving her.

From the moment Shez meets them, we see through their interactions they're on the same wavelength - his words to Cyril about how he knows how Rhea thinks because they often think in similar ways have more weight in 3 Nopes, because here, we see how they interact.

Seteth is her (tired) older (brother?) relative and they have been working together for years !

She's not, like FE16 tried to portray, some cryptid he used to know but doesn't anymore to whom he feels some sort of obligation when his allegeance/bond switched to Billy. For instance, Nopes!Seteth would have rushed with Billy (or even rushed in first) as SS!Rhea was crashing in the cathedral, he wouldn't just be "there" letting Billy be the only one who cares enough to go after Rhea.

Even FeH tried to correct what FE16 tried to portray, Billy and self-insert privilege be damned, when Halloween!Rhea complains that Seteth would surely call her dress "immodest", implying he already made similar comments about her various attires (I think there's a 4 Koma gag too? Where he freaks out because she's in a bikini, but she bullshits him to play with other heroes).

FE16!Seteth? With the main plot's script alone, no one could imagine he would ask her to put more "appropriate" clothes, given how they are always talking about work, disagreeing on Billy and whatnot.

I wrote about it in another post, but by removing Billy and the doylist "self-insert", the characters still have bonds with others, bond that cannot be artificially thinned to sever them at will should you choose to create a bond between this character and the self-insert instead which is, thanks to "self-insert privilege" be, of course, the most important bond out of all bonds a character can have.

(iirc Seteth doesn't even mention Flayn in his Billy S-support?)

Back to Seteth and the other bonds he has, it's a damn shame Manuela had to join the Bullshit Eagle Sus Force (when she was the one who rescued Flayn and tries to heal Rhea after the Shambala expedition!!) but he had some professional relationship with her, Catherine and maybe the other knights (where's the Seteth'n'Alois support?? Oh right, Alois decided to ditch everything he is to follow Jeralt, because "Jeralt <3" is more important than anything else like his duty and his love for his job as a Knight of Seiros.)

He develops some relationships through the war with other people, and they can even become great friends, but I always disliked how FE16 proper underplayed the preexisting bond between he and Rhea.

At least 3 Nopes managed to correct it (3 Nopes is a wonder when it comes to Nabateans (bar Sothis), they can shine and flourish when they're not limited by the self-insert and their privilege!).

Now, I really wonder, what are Seteth's opinions on Rhea's various actions, like cooking up the lie about crests, the Elites and relics?

While I want to think he agrees it was the only solution to protect Nabateans without condemning the children of the Elites he would have had a lot more reservations about bringing Sothis back - regardless of what Heroes retconned but would have nonetheless understood where Rhea is coming from, if only on the "I just want this continent to know peace" angle.

(with a firmer "no" though on the homonculus projects).

I confess though, my vision of Seteth is partly biased because of his JP!VA, I love Koyasu so hearing Whitten's softer Seteth always feels odd lol

(btw, did you know Jp!Arvis in heroes is voiced by the same person who voices Bleach's Aizen? I'll never cease to cry about no dual audio in heroes)

If you're a fellow Seteth lover, I can't wait to see your reaction during his paralogue. Poor guy.

I actually did it already! Ngl I got excited when Rhea said she was coming with the group I was like YEET IMA BE ON THE BATTLEFIELD WITH RHEA

and then Cyril came along too and I was like YEET IT'S THE BOI

but also poor Seteth talking about all the saints and stuff and Flayn saying they were close friends... It really puts into perspective that besides for Flayn and Rhea, he really has no nobody else prior to the start of Houses/Hopes. It makes the war even more bitter knowing yet another one could take away the last things he has.

It's also possible for Flayn to die on classic mode and I read the conversation you can get from that online, how Seteth has one about her and Garreg Mach if she died prior to you retaking it.

It always makes me sad how just because some people don't like some things Rhea does, the whole Church gets blamed for it and Seteth has to deal with it too. He's a good guy and doesn't deserve to go through more than he has already. ;n;

word count: 1094

You and Ben Solo were best friends at Luke Skywalker's little Jedi school. You sparred together. You ate lunch together. You shared secrets together. You were the most dynamic duo at the school.

One day he invited you to a picnic on top of a beautiful mountain. It was an isolated spot that was surrounded by a cluster of dark pine trees.

It was such a peaceful place, and it was no wonder he chose it. The area was secluded and hidden.

You could hear the water from the nearby river rushing, the birds singing, and the rustling of the trees. The cool breeze felt amazing against your skin. There he was in the center of it sitting on a plaid carpet with beige picnic baskets around him.

His dark curls went just past his ears and his brown eyes looked slightly nervous.

"Hey Ben!" you smiled sweetly at your best friend.

"Y/N," he looked up, his entire face lighting up.

"Sit, I brought ice cream and I made some cookies," Ben smiled.

"Awesome, I've been needing something delicious, we've been eating all that disgusting porridge back at school," you said making a motion to throw up.

He chuckled which made your face heat up with pride.

"Y/N, I actually invited you here to talk about something serious," he cleared his throat, a serious look you'd never seen before crossed Ben's face.

You had your favorite ice cream splattered across your face along with cookie crumbs.

"I'm listening," you said while dipping a cookie into the ice cream.

"There are some times...when I feel that we don't have to be friends,"

Your heart stopped.

"What are you talking about? You don't want to be friends with me anymore?" you asked standing up, shaking.

"No no no," he said while grabbing your shoulders gently.

"I would never want this friendship to end, this friendship is the reason that I wake up and love coming to this school every day," Ben told you softly and rubbed your back gently.

You let out a sigh of relief.

You didn't even know why you panicked in the first place. Maybe because his tone was serious.

"Ok, then what are you trying to say then," you asked while sitting down and returning to the cookies and ice cream and snarfing it down.

He sighed then turned his head to see if anyone was around.

"I'm not sure if I should tell you..." he said while scratching his head.

"Ben," you said taking your hand into his and holding his hand dear.

"You could tell me anything, I could tell you anything, we tell each other our secrets all the time... we have that bond. I mean we are best friends after all. But you don't have to say anything you don't want to," you replied in a soothing way.

He nodded then rested his head on your lap, squeezing his eyes shut.

How should I tell them that my feelings for them are becoming strong?

Too strong, it's blinding. And what about that Supreme Leader Snoke is calling me should I tell her that? That the dark side is taking hold of me. How could I tell them? It'd break their precious beautiful heart. But I need to tell her because the dark in me is starting to cover the light... and I need them by my side when I turn.

"Ok, Y/N, I'm ready to tell you," Ben got up from your lap and held your hands, his heart pounding in his chest.

"Y/N, I...think I'm in love with you,"

Your jaw dropped.

Ben Solo was in love with you.

"No...Ben...you don't love me...you can't possibly love me...love- it isn't the Jedi way," you stuttered looking down at your intertwined fingers.

"Y/N, I don't have much time, say you love me or you don't,"

You didn't say anything but you stood up and your back faced him.

Ben's eyebrows raised.

He honestly thought that you would be quick to join his side and become his love.

"Ben I-of course I love you but not in that way. And why don't you have much time anyway?" your voice wavered, fear washing through your system.

"The dark side calls me Y/N, it calls me, and Y/N if we turn to the dark side we could be free to be together, we could be more powerful, and one day we could rule the galaxy!" he cried out in excitement.

The sky turned cloudy as dark clouds appeared and the wind started blowing harder.

"Ben...this isn't like you...what's happened to you, you were on your way to becoming one of the greatest Jedi in existence!" a tear slipped down your cheek.

"DON'T YOU SEE, I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT I JUST CARE ABOUT YOU, I TURNED TO THIS SIDE BECAUSE OF YOU, BECAUSE I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH!" he yelled making you tremble.

His confession maimed you as you felt your entire body shake.

In any other situation, Ben would've immediately wrapped his arms around you and apologized wildly but he looked so different now.

"I CAN'T DO THIS WITHOUT YOU!" his voice cracked making your heart crumble.

"Ben, I did love you but I controlled my feelings unlike you and maybe you did have a chance if you didn't start this little episode, but now it's over and I won't be joining you on your silly little dark side, so kill me, since I won't join you, kill me because I won't be your partner," you gathered as much courage as you had into saying that.

You were so hurt right now. The boy you loved, your best friend was gone to the dark side. Your heart split in two.

"I don't even know who you are right now," you whispered but Ben had heard and he turned away.

The rain started to fall and after a second lightning struck the sky and thunder rumbled.

Ben sighed heartbrokenly, trying to keep his emotions in check.

"Leave, leave now, and never come back and you will be spared," he said his voice monotone.

"I don't want the only person I've loved to be lost,"

You faced him and quickly kissed both his cheeks.

"If you were still on the light side I would be with you, but what I feared has come true...the dark side has consumed you,"

"Goodbye Ben, I'll always love you,"

You ran into the forest and weren't seen for the rest of that day or ever again.

That night Ben Solo was consumed with anger and contempt. That night was the day the Ben Solo was transformed into Kylo Ren. It was the night when he burned down the temple and the Knights of Ren were born.

Ben Solo was gone.

Hey sorry for spamming but I've been following you for years and somehow just realized you were in film school- so my little queer "I'm going to film school in a conservative area next fall" self was trying to find any knowledge or advice you might have. Thank you for all you do here, it genuinely has such a positive impact <3

Hi! CONGRATS ON FILM SCHOOL! More than anything, you’re going to have a really awesome time. Film school is full of collaboration, creativity, problem solving, and hands-on work, which, at least for me, was the exact right way to learn a skill set. Seriously oh my god I sucked shit at normal college RIP that one year of my life. 

Anyway, my undergrad was also spent at an arts school in a conservative area, which really scared me at first. But WOW was the school itself not conservative at all. I found my whole ass gender identity there because it was a school packed with other queer people who couldn’t really escape the south. 

HOWEVER, there were still a lot of conservative folks, mostly cis men, mostly cis “i’m gonna change film” men, and ooooh my god are they the worst. They will try to undermine you at every turn, because the film industry has told them that they are supreme leaders and that it won’t take much work for them to succeed. 

I once was at a Q&A for our second year films back in 2015, and someone asked all of us filmmakers what we’d like to see change in the industry.  I said “more opportunities for women and minorities. I’d love to see a day where more diverse filmmakers get to see their films up on screen, rather than us watching the 800th superhero film”. And the white guy next to me took the mic next and said “Well I like superhero films” and the whole auditorium laughed. I have never forgotten how that made me feel. He missed the point completely and turned my words into a joke. OF COURSE he liked superhero films. They were made for him!! Then next day my friend told me that her boyfriend “didn’t like what I said last night”??? What?? That there should be more diversity in the film industry?? 

The cis men (and sometimes cis women) in this field are brutal. They see every step towards diversity as a threat. I’m sure as a queer person yourself, you hope to make change in this field, STICK TO THAT. The more confident you are, the more scared they become.

INSIST on your pronouns, INSIST on your authentic stories about the queer experience being told, INSIST on minority students’ voices being heard. I promise, you’re going to slowly accumulate other queer students into your group at school. If you find that they are people who you want to be friends with STICK TOGETHER! Make shit together! And when you get out into the industry, help each other out! 

Also, this world is tough for queer people, but it’s even tougher for queer people of color ESPECIALLY in conservative areas. If you are white, please use your privilege to be sure they have space to create their authentic art. If it’s safe for you, call out the injustices you see. Find your people and do this together! 

Finally, and this is maybe the most important lesson I’ve learned in my now 6 years at film schools, stay humble. There’s a difference between confidence and arrogance. No one will want to work with you if you are arrogant, but confidence and humbleness will get you far. Confidence will allow you to speak out when something is wrong, and humbleness will keep your ego in check. It will make people more inclined to not only work with you, but to WANT to work with you. That’s huge. And also? It will make filmmaking so much more fun. 

Give and be open to notes, allow yourself to be called out, allow yourself to grow, and don’t ever let anyone tell you that your voice doesn’t matter. It does. There is only one you. 

Have fun! Make art! Show that conservative area that queer people are beautiful and that our voices are loud! 💖✨

I’ll Make a Man Out of You

You were struggling today, more than most months. Usually you managed to get through stomach cramps with a few painkillers, but today you were practically keeling over, and it hadn't escaped the notice of the other Knights of Ren.

"Nuren? You okay?" Kuruk had asked you in the midst of sparring, noticing that your movements were sloppy as you tried to ignore the crippling pain in your stomach.

"Yeah, I'm just feeling a bit under the weather." You tried to play it off, your voice coming off modulated due to your helmet. You were the only knight who always wore their helmet, the others took theirs off to socialise but you had to keep your secret safe, so you had told them from day one that you had taken an oath to never allow any sentient being to see your face, something you knew was common amongst the Mandalorian clans.

It was a solitary life, lying every day to the people whom you cared about more than anyone else, but you were in too deep to tell them to truth now. There had never been a woman amongst the Knights of Ren, and that wasn't likely to change - at least, not as far as anyone knew. You would just continue to miss out on drinking and eating with your brothers, being forced to sit in the corner and try your best to join in with their merriment.

Even your leader, Kylo Ren, had no idea of the truth. For years now you had concealed your gender from them, but you had never intended for it to go this far. You had joined the knights when they had come to your homestead seeking your brother, who was Force sensitive. He hid when they had shown up and you sent the knights on a cold trail to look for him, but after they left you had considered things. You were desperate for an escape and for adventure, plus you were also Force sensitive, so you had decided to drop everything and chase after them in place of your brother. You had concealed your identity by donning simple armour, which was soon replaced once they had taken you on board.

You took on the name Nuren, which meant 'woman' in your planet's dialect - hidden in plain sight, and you had never looked back. Sure, nothing about it was easy, but you wouldn't dare quit, you quickly found yourself enjoying the training, missions and most importantly: the brotherhood.

"Perhaps we should call it a day." Kylo raised his hand to stop the sparring, his gaze unsurprisingly fixated on you. "Nuren, go to the med-bay if you need to." Despite being a terrifying Supreme Leader to most, Kylo Ren cared about his knights, although little did he know that you had just gotten your period - there was nothing seriously wrong with you.

Over the years you had learnt a lot about concealing your emotions, particularly those where Master Ren was concerned. There were thousands of people in the galaxy whom you could have fallen for, but you had to choose to fall for Kylo Ren - the one man you could never have, for more reason than one. Most obviously: he thought you were a man who could under no circumstances remove his helmet in front of other people. But aside from that, even if he did know the truth, how could it ever work? You were one of his knights. Although admittedly, you had spent a lot of time alone at night dreaming that it could work.

"That's okay Master Ren, I think I just need to rest." You stood tall as you spoke to him, despite the sharp pain that was still twisting your stomach.

"Very well." He nodded, dismissing you all, but you could see the look of concern still on his face.  Curse these cramps for ruining training for you.

You retired alongside your brothers after that, still trying to ignore just how much pain you were in, but they were unsurprisingly teasing you about it.

"One little stomach ache takes Nuren down? This is the same guy I once saw singlehandedly take on a Nightsister right?" Cardo gave you a bolshy nudge and the others all laughed.

"He's right, I knew the food they served up on this base was crap, by I didn't realise it was that crap." Trudgen then jested, and you laughed along with them, knowing that this was just how they behaved.

"You think I eat that shit?" You snorted as you all made your way back to your shared common area.

There was a large communal area where the knights all socialised together and attached were seven bedrooms, each sealed behind private blast doors.

"Since we're done for the day, who fancies a drink?" Ap'lek asked the moment you all stepped foot inside, moving over to produce multiple bottles of beer from the fridge.

The others all mumbled in agreement, moving to take off their helmets and make themselves comfortable. Despite knowing that you would decline, the knights never failed to ask you to join them and they had no idea how much that simple gesture meant to you, let alone how much you wanted to accept it.

"How about it Nuren? Nothing like alcohol to cure sickness." Ushar grinned, but you reluctantly shook your head.

"I think I might just turn in and take a nap." You said, your brothers all bidding you farewell before you disappeared behind the doors that lead to your quarters.

As soon as you were alone, you shed yourself of the heavy helmet, as well as the outer layers of your armour. Carrying around that much weight on your body whilst on your period should have been a crime.

Rather than collapsing onto the bed, you moved to dig through your drawers where you had a stash of painkillers hidden for these exact moments - hopefully they would at least give you a few pain-free hours so you could spend some time with the other knights before they got too drunk.

Swallowing down the pill, you knew it would take some time to kick in so you opted to soak in a warm bath until them, that usually helped. From your refresher you could vaguely hear the others all laughing and having fun together. It pained you more and more every day have to be such an outsider, but you feared that if you revealed the truth to them they would never accept you.

You tried not to let your thoughts dwell on negative things whilst you bathed, but it was hard not to. You had everything you ever wanted - but you didn't have it, as far as anyone else was aware your brother was the one living this dream. Could you really go on like this forever? The answer was: yes. You had no choice, you would die with your secret one day.

You eventually left the refresher, a towel wrapped securely around your body. Thankfully, this time your painkillers were actually working, so with any luck you'd be able to join your brothers and simply watch them drink and wish you could join in - just as you always did.

When you pulled on your undergarments you wrapped tight bandaging around your chest to flatten it. It was beyond painful to wear every day, but definitely easier than explaining why you had breasts...

You tugged on your slightly baggy trousers, and your even baggier undershirt. You found that clothes with less shape worked better. However, before you could sweep your hair back into a clean bun and put your helmet on, you heard the blast doors to your room open.

The knights knew to never walk into each other's private quarters unannounced, and there was surely only one other person who could possibly be in the knights' common area.  But why would he be in here?

"I wanted to check that you're okay-" Kylo began, clearly not focusing as he entered.  But when his voice trailed off you knew that he had laid eyes on you.

With your heart in your mouth, you slowly turned around to confirm your worst nightmare. Kylo Ren stood staring at you, his mouth slightly agape. Clearly he hadn't known what to expect, but this was far beyond the parameters of his imagination.

"I can explain-" you quietly said, your voice coming out as nothing but a mere whisper. Your heart was beating so fast it felt like it was going to burst out of your chest.

Clearly just as unsure how to process what he had seen as you were, he simply turned on his heel and fled the room, quickly marching out of the knights' common area altogether.

There was no time for you to panic, you forced yourself to take a deep breath, pulled your helmet on and took off after him, still only wearing your under-layers. As you dashed out, your brothers paid you little mind, they were too caught up in their conversation to notice the commotion.

"Master Ren, wait." You called to him as he was striding ahead of you.

In one sharp motion he turned to you, pushing you against the wall, his gloved hand clasped around your neck where he could see wisps of hair falling out from beneath your helmet.

"I want you to leave this base, and pray that I never see you again." He was cutting off your airwaves, but nevertheless you still attempted to choke out.

"M-Master Ren, please. I-I had to lie." You tried to explain, your voice coming out as a  strained croak.

"And now you have to leave." He hissed, the betrayal in his tone was clear. Without another word he released you and went storming off down the corridor again.

You had no idea what to do, or who to turn to. Perhaps it was just best to heed Kylo's warning and leave. You feared that if Kylo's reaction had been nothing short of death threats, you would be met with a very similar reaction from your fellow knights, but part of you also thought that they deserved to know the truth before you abandoned them.

Besides, now you had nothing left to lose.

When you arrived back in the common area, the knights were all lost in their merriment. Clearly a few drinks down, you could tell they were slightly tipsy, although perhaps that would make this easier.

"I need to tell you something." You planted yourself in the middle of the room, and were immediately met by jeering, something you would've normally embraced and enjoyed, but now your reaction was stone cold.

"Hopefully you're telling us that you're ready to have some fun!" Cardo bellowed, "c'mon Nuren, loosen up a bit."

"No." You grumbled, "I wish I could." Before you open yourself up to more teasing, you reached up and unlatched your helmet, silently revealing the truth to the knights. "You came to my planet looking for my brother, but you got me instead." You quietly explained, dreading the reactions that were to come.

It was so silent that you could hear a pin drop, and part of you feared that they would kill you on the spot for lying to them. Slowly, your brothers rose to their feet, seemingly sobering up in that moment.

"So for all these years, you've been pretending to be your brother?" Ushar asked, his voice level, so much so that you couldn't read his emotions.

"Yes." You hung your head in guilt.

The ominous silence fell once more, and you couldn't bear it any longer. However, as you opened your mouth to speak, a stifled laugh broke through the crippling silence.

You whipped around and saw Kuruk with a hand covering his mouth. "Sorry it's just-" before he could finish there were more uncontrollable laughs escaping his lips. Clearly this laughter was contagious, because before you knew it it was spreading throughout the room.

"I-I can't believe you said you had taken an oath t-to not take the helmet off!" Ap'lek struggled to get his words out through the laughter, "a kriffing oath!" He exclaimed, leaning on Vicrul who was beside him, as they tried to regain their composure.

"This... is really not the reaction I was expecting." Entirely unsure of what to do, you just stood and stared at them all as they continued to crease in fits of laughter. But after a few moments you found yourself unable to avoid the contagious laughter, but you of all people really had no clue what you found so funny.

You were all in stitches for another few minutes before it died down, and despite the circumstances the laughter made you feel as though some of the weight had been lifted off your shoulders. Knowing that your fellow knights weren't angry at you was a much needed relief.

"So why not tell us the truth?" Vicrul eventually asked once they could form coherent sentences.

"The Knights of Ren was no place for a woman." You sighed, throwing yourself down on the couch with your head in your hands, "I wish I had told you earlier, but I always thought you'd be angry - I really didn't expect the laughing fit."

"C'mon Nuren, you should have known us better than that. No matter what, we're brothers... well, now you're our first sister." Ushar chuckled, giving you a solid pat on the back.

As the others echoed his sentiment, you appreciated more than anything that they weren't treating you any differently just because of your gender. There was still that sense of familiarity, and the brotherhood... it was just a shame you couldn't stay.

"So why tell us now?" Ap'lek eventually asked.

"Master Ren-" your tone immediately became more downcast as you remembered the gravity of the situation, "he found out the truth, and he told me to leave. I thought before I go I at least owed you all the truth."

Glances were exchanged, before Cardo spoke up, "no, we won't let you leave."

Your heart nearly burst out of your chest at the gesture, but you couldn't allow yourself to fall into that safety blanket. "Master Ren will have my head if I stay. I betrayed him, and you all know how he responds to betrayal."

"But you forget Nuren, you're a Knight of Ren, and we never leave a brother behind." Trudgen said. "...Or a sister." He then hastened to add.

><><><><><><><><><><><

It had only been a week since everyone had found out the truth. Whilst your fellow knights actually gotten on better with you now that you could drink and socialise with them, the same could not be said for Kylo Ren.

Firstly, he was less than happy about being undermined when it came to you leaving the base. Now you were a constant reminder of his own empty threat. But more importantly, what you didn't realise was that he wanted you gone more than ever because he was developing an inexplicable attraction to you. The worst part was, it wasn't just physical. Whilst he would sit moping in the corner he could see the way you were around the other knights - they clearly adored you, and the fact that a female presence was actually having a positive effect on the group made it even harder for Ren to despise you. He saw the way you could light up a room, and he couldn't help but want you. He was angry for allowing himself to feel such a way, and that unfortunately manifested itself as anger towards you.

The other knights, meanwhile, couldn't possibly look at you in such a way. Perhaps had they met you for the first time as strangers, they would have relentlessly flirted with you as they did so many other women. But you had all spent too much time together in too many awkward situations to ever see each other as more than adopted-siblings.

You were so relieved to finally be able to relax around the knights, but there was always that tension whenever you were around Master Ren. You had been desperately trying to prove yourself to him to show him that you were the same knight you had always been, regardless of your gender - although deep down you knew that it had nothing to do with the fact you were a woman, it was the fact that you had lied to him...

Although for Kylo it was none of these. He knew he had overreacted when he'd first found out the truth, and now he was relieved that the other knights had vouched for you and made him change his mind and let you stay.

You were all sat in the common area, your legs casually thrown over Trudgen's lap for comfort. You each had a drink in hand, as was standard practise for you all on evenings when you had nothing else to do.

"I seriously don't think I can go much longer putting up with him constantly glaring at me." You scoffed, discussing Kylo's apparent hatred of you.

"Sure he used to do that, but now I don't think he's glaring... I don't know, I'm just not getting the same angry energy off him that I was last week." Ap'lek pondered, shrugging his shoulders.

"What do you mean?" Your brow furrowed, but Kuruk was quick to catch on.

"No, Ap'lek's right. He's not glaring, he's staring." He playfully smacked his forehead, "I can't believe we didn't spot it sooner."

"Holy shit, you're right." Vicrul was next to chime in.

You all had a low-level bond through the Force, so you knew pretty much what they were thinking, but that didn't mean you agreed with them.

"Oh come on, Master Ren won't even talk to me anymore and you think that means he likes me? He literally had his hand around my throat a week ago." You snorted, rolling your eyes.

"Yeah, well maybe you enjoyed that." Trudgen teased you from the other side of the sofa, suggestively wiggling his eyebrows, but you swiftly threw a cushion at his face to shut him up.

"It makes so much sense the more I think about it." Ap'lek laughed, shaking his head, "he won't talk to you because he doesn't know how to process emotions. Come on Nuren, when have you ever seen him flirt, or even be nice to a woman?"

Before you could reply, Vicrul summarised it, "it's because he doesn't know how!" At that they all hollered and nudged each other in agreement.

"You're all out of your minds," you laughed, "he wants me dead, not-" before you could finish your sentence with a crude joke, the blast doors flew open to reveal the man himself, and you immediately all fell silent.

It wasn't necessarily unusual for him to come and join you all in your living area, but he hadn't done so since he found out the truth about you. Not to mention, he had picked an awful moment to enter.

"What? You all look like someone's died." He huffed, helping himself to a drink before moving to sit down.

You meanwhile did the opposite and removed your legs from Trudgen's lap and stood up, retiring to your quarters without another word. You didn't particularly want to put up with his glaring, or 'staring' as the knights had now deemed it.

There was nothing to do in your quarters, and you immediately realised that you had just stormed off and now were stuck, so you made a point of dressing in some simple training clothes and heading back out to walk through the common area with your helmet in hand. You pulled it over your head before leaving the rest of the knights alone with Kylo and went off to your training area to run some drills alone.

In your absence, and after their apparent revelation, the other knights decided that that it was time to address the elephant in the room with Kylo.

"Master Ren, you know Nuren thinks that you hate her, right?" Ushar said, to which Kylo just tried to play it off with a nonchalant shrug.

"I don't hate her." He said, his tone not wavering. He certainly didn't want any of them finding out the truth behind his cold behaviour.

"Trust me, we know that." He replied, in a very pointed tone which made it clear that they had worked out the truth about Kylo's feelings, "but she doesn't know that." He then added.

He clearly wanted to protest, but it was obvious that the knights could see right through him and his nonchalance.

They simply all stared at him, expectantly, until eventually Kylo exhaled a heavy sigh, taking a long drink before speaking again. "Fine, I get the point." He rose to his feet, "I'll go and talk to her." He reluctantly agreed to do what he had been dreading. He had no idea how to process any emotion that wasn't anger.

As soon as he left, the knights began discussing every possible outcome. Little did you know that they had practically planned your wedding, since they had decided that not only would you be good for Kylo, he would be good for you.

Blissfully unaware of everything that had just happened, you were alone in the training room swinging a blunt training weapon against a dummy, who was taking the brunt of your frustration. You had left your helmet by the door.

When the blast doors opened to reveal a sheepish looking Kylo Ren, you were less than happy - and it was written all over your face. Nevertheless, you stood to attention.

"Master Ren." You nodded, "I thought you were with the others." You desperately wanted to replicate his bad attitude and make a cutting remark, but you knew that simply wouldn't help your case. No matter what, you had to show respect to your leader.

"I came to talk to you." He said, his tone coming out much darker than intended.

"With all due respect Sir, if you want me to leave that badly, it's the other knights you need to talk to - they're the reason why I'm still here." You relaxed your stance and went back to swinging at the dummy as you spoke.

"That's not it." He said, walking around to stand behind the dummy so he was in your eye-line, "I'm glad you're still here." He eventually admitted, practically through gritted teeth. Every muscle in his body had stiffened.

You stepped back from your training, brow furrowed, "you are?" You hated the way your heart rate increased at his words. Through it all, you still couldn't deny your own attraction to Kylo Ren, perhaps that was why his cold attitude had been so hurtful to you.

"Yes." He plainly said, having no inclination of what else he could possibly say.

"Then why are you acting so off with me?" You hesitantly asked, at which point he looked down at his feet. This had been the question he was hoping you wouldn't ask, because he was afraid to answer it.

"I-" he began, before sealing his lips again. Whatever words he wanted to say simply wouldn't form in his mouth. He was truly tongue-tied, but thankfully his body decided that it was ready to move again - actions did tend to speak louder than words.

Boldly, he moved towards you and captured your lips in a heated kiss, pouring all the words he couldn't say into this gesture.

You were stunned to say the least, your training weapon falling to the floor. But it wasn't long before your lips responded and returned the kiss. Kylo's arms wrapped around your waist and pulled you flush against him, your hands resting on his chest.

However, it didn't take long for your brain to catch up and you briefly pulled away from his lips for long enough to speak. "So you... like me, like me, and you tried to show me that by being miserable around me?" You asked him, just needing to clarify his odd behaviour.

Suddenly feeling much looser now that he had made a move, he responded with a smirk, "did it work?" He teased.

"Not so much, I think you perhaps need to try being less of an asshole in future Master Ren." You responded with a snarky remark, knowing that you could definitely get away with teasing him now.

"I think from now on, just Kylo is fine." He exhaled a short laugh and leaned back in to kiss you.

It wasn't long before you either had to break away, or have sex right there in the training room and you both silently agreed that the latter wasn't really a practical option.

"Your quarters?"  You prompted, still tangled in his arms.  Really this whole scenario still felt surreal to you.  You had crushed on Kylo Ren for longer than you cared to admit, then when he had found out the truth about your gender he had reacted less than favourably... and now suddenly here you were.  Only he could react to developing feels for you by acting as though he hated you.

His face dropped and he grimaced slightly, "we-uh, we can't."  He sheepishly explained.

"Why not?"  Your brow furrowed, immediately thinking that taking him back to your quarters would be quite an embarrassing affair with all of the other knights being in the common area.

"There are technicians in there repairing Lightsaber damage."  He said it casually, but you could read between the lines well enough to know that 'Lightsaber damage' meant that he'd had a tantrum and trashed his own quarters.

"Are you brave enough to come to my quarters?"  You smirked up at him with an eyebrow raised.

"I think you're overestimating how much they'll care."  He said, and you definitely couldn't fault his optimism, but you knew that the knights most certainly would care.

With the steamy moment beginning to waste away you hastily walked side by side back to the Knights of Ren's common area.  You had your helmet on again as you walked, but as soon as you entered you removed it, and it still felt surreal that you now had that freedom.

"Nuren, is that you?"  Kuruk's voice was the first to call out, none of them turning around from where they sat, still with drinks in hand.

"Yep, it's me."  You quickly said, ushering Kylo into your quarters in the hope that none of them would notice.

"Did you and Master Ren kiss and make up?"  Cardo asked, clearly teasing you, but chose to turn around at simply the perfect moment to catch you in the act.

Halfway through the blast doors to your private quarters you and Kylo froze, and a sheepish grin rose up onto your lips.

"Oh so you literally kissed and made up."  Ushar then said, the smirks appearing on all of their lips foreshadowing some relentless teasing.

"Well... kinda."  You tried to play it off, but before you could make any poor excuses, Kylo simply pulled you through the doors and had his lips on yours as they shut behind you.

As you guided him back towards the bed, you could hear the knights outside loudly wolf-whistling and jeering.

You had only wanted to be able to take your helmet off comfortably around the knights - now you not only had that, you had Kylo Ren too.  In exchange for that you could definitely put up with the teasing from your brothers.

Never Change, Gonta!

———————————————————————————————–

We start off our scene with a certain roster of Hope’s Peak Students overlooking a large and elaborate mansion. All of the Ultimates, apart from the estate’s owner, gape in awe at the lavishness of their classmate’s living quarters. The gold-engraved name at the front of the large iron gates should be enough for one to surmise which classmate this lavish estate belongs to; “The Gokuhara Estate”.

“Dude, you never cease to amaze me!” barked Kaito Momota, in all of his loud and baritone glory. But the outside of the mansion was just the tip of the iceberg. For the inside of the estate is somehow even more luxurious than the outside.

“A piano!” squealed the class’s beloved piano freak, Kaede Akamatsu. Of course the estate’s piano would be the first thing that captures the musical enthusiast’s eye. Her eyes wander over the rest of the furniture before settling on one particular piece in the center of the wall. “And a fireplace!” marveled Kaede, with Shuichi being crouched down right next to her, observing the fireplace alongside her.

“Wow! T-That’s amazing! I’ve hardly ever seen fireplaces outside of very large mansions.” remarked Shuichi, still breathless in awe from his classmate’s luxurious lifestyle.

“I know! Isn’t it awesome? We could light the fireplace-” Kaede responded, imagining the various heartwarming scenarios she can accomplish with her classmates that involve a warm toasty fire, before suddenly being cut off by the estate’s heir’s voice.

“Can’t do that.” Gonta intercepted, a hint of panic in his voice. The two partners in crime-solving turn to face the burly gentleman, wondering what is preventing him from lighting the fireplace. Maybe he doesn’t want any of the bugs that enter his living room to get burned by the fire? He’s always had a high level of concern for even the most insignificant of insects. “Weather not that cold yet. And Father told Gonta Santa no like dirty chimneys and won’t go down them.”, Gonta claims rather matter-of-factly.

“Father?”, the pink-clad pianist questioned, craning her head over to her partner.

“Wait! Santa?”, the dark-clad detective responded, confused by the entomologist’s matter-of-fact claims. A brief awkward silences washes over the luxurious estate.

It was Kiibo’s turn to pipe up, breaking the awkward silence. “Wow! Amazing!”, Gonta’s metal-plated classmate gushed, clearly astounded at learning more about human beliefs.

“You have such a kind father.”, Kirumi added, a rare smile crossing the maid’s features.

“Gonta always clean chimney before winter. And every year, Santa come without fail!”, Gonta proudly states with his signature cheery grin, putting his large hands on his hips on the second statement. It’s very clear that Gonta really cares about others and prides himself on being a gentleman, even to fictional characters. Shuichi and Kaede briefly stare at each other in disbelief, as if they’re looking for confirmation that Gonta is actually saying what they think he’s saying. “As proof, look in chimney!”, Gonta added, upon noticing the look of disbelief on the duo’s faces.

The twosome peer into the chimney, as per Gonta’s request. Upon taking a closer look into the chimney, they noticed an elaborate chalk drawing of Santa, with a cursive “Thank you!” written alongside it. They took their heads out of the chimney to see Gonta, proudly adjusting his glasses with his signature prideful smile on his face. They pleasantly smile upon seeing the entomologist’s naive, yet earnest attitude.

That was until the snickers of a certain pint-sized and purple-haired pathological liar filled the lavish mansion. “Y-You! You believe in San-”, Kokichi sardonically remarked, all while holding back his laughter. Holding back his laughter proves to be a difficult task, for the pathological liar’s purple eyes are rapidly filling up with tears and his face proceeds to do its best tomato impression.

Two of the wealthy entomologist’s classmates rush forward and harshly grab the supreme leader’s shoulders before he spills the awful truth. “KOKICHI!”, Tenko angrily barked as she harshly grasped Kokichi’s left shoulder, nails digging through his checkered winter hoodie.

“DON’T YOU DARE!”, Kaito growled in an equal, if not more enraged tone than Tenko. His calloused and tanned hands squeezes the diminutive dictator’s right shoulder.

“OW! OW! OW! WHAT THE HECK, GUYS?!”, Kokichi screams in pain from both of his shoulders being grasped by his two strongest classmates, discounting Gonta. The Ultimate Supreme Leader managed to weasel his way out of the cruel grasp of his two athletic classmates, in order to ask why he was restrained and scolded just for telling the truth. The pianist and detective spring up from their crouching positions to assist the astronaut and aikido practitioner in silencing the antagonistic leader of DICE.

“Don’t do it, Ouma! Saying that would be a serious crime”, Kaede demanded, with a mix of anger and panic on her face. Anger from Kokichi’s sheer audacity and panic from Gonta’s worldview being potentially shattered due to Kokichi’s sheer audacity.

“Yeah! You’re going to scar Gonta for life!”, Shuichi added, clearly more panicked than Kaede. While the detective is all for revealing the truth, this is a very noticeable exception. If the naive entomologist ends up catching wind of this awful truth, who knows what would happen to him?

“B-But, c-c'mon! He’s n-n-nearly an adult! An adult that st-st-still b-be-”, Kokichi snickers maliciously, as his dam is about to burst and unleash a merciless torrent of laughter at the expense of his purest classmate. Luckily, the rest of the class managed to dogpile Kokichi before he manages to spill the beans.

During this entire debacle, Gonta is watching the rest of his classmates dogpile and silence Kokichi with a confused frown on his face. And to this day, he still doesn’t know why his friends have to silence Kokichi any time that Santa is mentioned by the gentlemanly entomologist. But all his classmates are willing to tell him is, “Never change, Gonta!” ——————————————————————————————-

Ready for a rant on The Rise of Skywalker, because I fucking forget some of the things I want to say, so let's continue

#1. Jar Jar Abrams must've hated Rian Johnson movie, because not only does he fix Anakin Lightsaber, but Kylo's mask, and if you remember it was both destroyed when Holdo does the Holdo's maneuver. So both Kylo and Rey must've really wanted these pieces so bad, they manage to get all the pieces. Oh don't forget when Rey went to 'The most unfindable place'[ actual quotes from TLJ, holy crap!] When Luke Skywalker catches the lightsaber, he says and I'm not shitting you, 'A lightsaber deserves more respect' RIP to TLJ remember when Luke literally chucked the lightsaber, Jar Jar really hated TLJ.

#2. Oh and on the mention of the Holdo's maneuver, because apparently Holdo is a hypocrite. Remember when Holdo kept yelling at Poe for his fuck ups, as it's bad odds, because apparently her move was a one in a million chance! And don't give me the crap that it was only Holdo's chance, because don't you remember the OT [Original Trilogy] where they can just jam their ship into other but I guess lightspeed jumping right at the ships was the best choice!

#3. Rose Tico wasn't in this movie and honestly I was pissed, because as much as I loath the writing in TLJ[The Last Jedi] I found her character interesting and someone they could develop but JJ doesn't even remember this character, she has to scan ship's interior structure. Can you tell why I hate this movie, they don't fucking develop anything, and its the last movie.

#4. Poe Dameron character was also destroyed in this movie, remember the fun loving character from the Force Awakens, well apparently he's always grumpy because that doesn't completely destroy his basic character. Then again, Poe is just another example of a meat puppet, they have no motives or personality, they just have to do what the director wants them to do.

#5. For anyone who is trying to defend this movie or heaven forgive, the characters, can I please ask you to rewatch the OT and then try to make those comments again. I have no qualms of people having opposing views but I will state my views and you can either agree or disagree, it will not affect me in any way. But I will not except people using the Issues of The OT as an excuse for the the New Trilogy, the issue's in the OT are either miniscule or don't ruin the movie going experience, for the New Trilogy it does!

#6. I just had to let that go as I make an amend, The writer of the ROS did state that Ashoka Atonna, was in fact dead but she could appear in other Star War product, I honestly don't care because she's not gong to be the same, but I will admit to my mistakes, that her death allegations are more on the fritzs.

#7. Kylo Ren finds out that Palps is apparently the voice of Darth Vader in his head, and it doesn't completely shatter his world because if you don't remember, Kylo is doing all of this to live up to the legacy of Darth Vader. So Anakin didn't try at all to tell Kylo that it wasn't him, and totally abandoned his family okay. But I will admit I found the scene cool, if only it wasn't in this movie.

#8. I don't remember if I mentioned this but Hux, my God! He was awful in this movie, he's the spy and we don't get any reason besides Hux hates Supreme Leader Kylo. Really I think Jar Jar was just pissed off that his character was turned into a mockery, so he just placed him as a spy to place the hero on their journey and help them when Finn and Poe were about to get executed. It would make sense if Hux tried to destroy the First Order from the Inside, as he would still hold his power, but what do I know

#9. Lando appears, for Fan service because what other type is there for this trilogy. And not only does he kill a random villager, and no gives a fucks about it. But he's also fucking here, he just decided to live here after his and Luke's mission, how many years ago? What about Bespin, the place you literally sacrifice the Rebellion for. We find out that Leia had notified Lando about their arrival, but that brings another question, why didn't Leia told them to meet Lando as he literally the only person who has more information on the Wayfinder. But who cares because his entrance was awesome, and Star Wars were all about the battles, it was definitely not because of the characters and relationship, no it was definitely the pew pew aspect of it.

So I read the Colin Trevenou, or whatever his name is, script and honestly I really enjoyed it, of course it's just the basics, but the concepts seemed interesting and wasn't copying the OT. It was both original and made sense within the expanse of both the SW world building and even the two movies before it and honesty I wished they could make his version into a movie, I think I could at least enjoy it. But hey, that's not how the cookies crumbled.

Now of course Dishonorable mentions!

DO is voiced by Jar Jar Abrams, but also he's just there to give Sith information to the heroes.

An actual Honorable mention- George Lucas appeared in this movie, and one second of him was just a masterpiece, but seriously I just want George Lucas to buy the property of SW again

Back to dishonorable

Kylo chokes slam one of his followers into the ceiling because he questioned the fleet of ships Creamy Sheeve[ Palpatine] is willing to give him, because Kylo can't except anyone challenging him.

The stupid scene of everyone but the characters were supposed to be connected to, mourning Leia death, just cut it out and keep the one with Poe, for God sakes. It so simple.

The plot Armour these walking infections are carrying, literally they cannot die even when one explodes, how is anyone invested in characters who we all know the director won't touch because they're the hero? [Except of Finn, he deserves so much more than this bullshit!, also come on Disney, you can allow a lesbian kiss why can't we pair Finn and Poe?]

How did Palpatine get his resources, as Exegul, is stated to be a desolate place? Did he just steal resources, if so? Why is there no mention anytime of missing people, and resource, I know Jar Jar and Ruin Johnson doesn't like world building but come on how does half of the things you write work! The last time we saw these characters, the heroes won! They shouldn't be the minority or not know anything at all?

But who cares it's just a stupid Star Wars movie, right? I will make one of these for FA and TLJ, just you wait, those two movies are not spared of criticism.

[sithsdoinshit]

What is their (siths) fondest memory? Would be awesome if you included feral or some ancient sith too! (Your blog is the best thing that happened to sw tumblr ❤❤❤)

th-the best thing?? anon, please.. ;;__;; <3

gonna be a mix of “canon” moments and moments that happen in this sithmates AU :)

vader: he built a stunt course in GTA for the rest of the sithmates to race in, inviting luke and leia to play as well. not only was vader extremely proud of his racetrack (he even got a compliment from dooku)---everyone had a blast playing it. there was lots of screaming and cutthroat driving, but it was all in good fun. he may or  may not have let leia win.

sidious: when he manipulated everyone and become supreme leader of the whole galaxy!! ho ho, good times!!... why are you all looking at me like that?

maul: he couldn’t avoid her indefinitely. he had realized things were different now, he knew she wouldn’t blame him for what happened. still, the thought of seeing kilindi again made him feel sick. talking to her again wasn’t a good memory---far too many emotions, maul literally falling to his knees from the weight of them---but what came after the fact. kilindi messaging him, asking if he and his brothers want to go swimming. and this time, maul smiling and replying “yes”.

savage: definitely those days when feral was around 5 or so. past the terrible two’s, yet still so young and sweet. he remembers guiding feral’s little hands on his training bow, helping him get a near-bullseye in the shooting range. it was more savage than feral, really, but the look of shock and delight on his brother’s face when it landed is one he’ll remember forever. 

asajj: coming back to dathomir wasn’t as easy as she wished it would be. the sisters treated her with suspicion at first, and despite being one of them asajj felt like she didn’t belong. she barely remembered the planet as it was. but then.. as talzin welcomed her home, bathed her in the water of life (the ritual before left much to be desired), the sisters celebrated and danced with her as if she had always been a part of them. as if she had always belonged. for once, asajj wasn’t alone.

dooku: the day jinn officially introduced himself as dooku’s padawan. he was so honest and wise for a youngling. they hadn’t had any time to even begin developing a force bond, yet dooku could feel it bloom in that very moment, warm and bright in his mind’s eye. of course every day after that was a good memory, too, but it was that initial spark, that initial hope, that dooku will never forget.

kylo: it’s a little fuzzy, but kylo remembers bits and pieces of visiting kashyyyk with uncle chewie. the magnificent forests that stood strong despite all that they had suffered, the back-breaking hugs of chewie’s family.. of course, chewie is a warm and kind memory in and of himself. 

nihilus: he wishes he could remember something from before. he’s certain there is good in it. lately, though, nihilus finds he no longer needs to mourn that fact. vader suggested that he reach out to visas a while back, and though nihilus struggled with the notion for a while, eventually the two met up in the park. there are still things they need to work on, but it turned out to be one of the best decisions he’s made in his afterlife.

grievous: when grievous and ordo sat down together on a lone grassy hill, with nothing but the wind and their quiet conversation to keep them company. it was then that grievous told him about yonderu, about all of his old life in kalee. it was painful to even think about, much less talk about, but ordo held his hand throughout the whole thing. a weight had been lifted off his shoulders, and for once in his life grievous thought he might be able to start again. with ordo.

inquisitor: there is bitterness crawling on the edges of the memory---knowing how it would all change as he grew older---yet the inquisitor still looks back on it fondly: himself, a tiny youngling, gaping in wonder at the enormity of the jedi archives. not even knowing where to start reading. it’s much better nowadays whenever he visits a library, knowing he has full access to whatever he damn well pleases. 

lana: odessen. when the alliance was growing strong, their hopes of defeating arcann and his damned eternal empire cautiously raised (a thought made all the sweeter in the present, knowing they did)... and briefly, ever so briefly, a glimpse of what lana could only dream of: friends and allies from all sides, relaxing and spending time with each other. peace.

bonus!feral: he and his brothers decided to take a trip to an amusement park all by themselves. every moment feral spends with maul and savage is precious, but seeing his older brothers smile and have the time of their lives with him is something he’d never give up for anything in the world. also, cotton kriffing candy

Volunteering

Summary: Bucky has been sneaking off a lot lately. The team investigates and find out that has been sneaking off to the childrens hospital and hanging out with the stick childrens who accepted him playing with his new little friends. 

Warning: fluff, 

“Whatch looking for?” Sam asked as he watched a frustrated Tony come into the common room. 

“The hell is the terminator. I want to talk to him about upgrading his arm but I can’t find him.”

“I haven’t seen him since breakfast. It is his day off.”

“I Just want to get the upgrades in before the next mission. I’ve been calling him but he isn’t answering his phone and I have no clue where he is. Does he know how to use a phone?” 

“Yes, Barnes knows how to use a phone.” Natasha said as she came in “You know he’s been going off disappearing for a while now.” 

“Where do you think he’s going?” Sam asked 

“I don’t care I just want to know when he’s coming back. The one time I want to do good for this guy.” Tony throws his hands up in frustration and walks off. 

-

At first it was a joke everyone making jokes and assuming where Bucky was disappearing off to. Some thought it was a secret girlfriend Tony speculated it might have been a boyfriend. Everyone had something to say but no one said anything to say Bucky. Although he knew they were talking about him. It was a joke but now it was starting to become a nuisance. 

“Where is he?” Tony asked frustrated. It seem that he was always frustrated with him as of late. Everyone else was here and ready to started the meeting just waiting for Bucky at this point. 

Speaking of the soldier and he shall appear. Bucky came in with an apology and quickly took a seat. Everyone just looked at him waiting for an explanation “ Can we start?” guess they weren’t getting one. 

-

After that meeting everyone became way more invested in Bucky’s disappearance. They realized he went missing four times a week and always during his lunch break or in the afternoons and when he went missing he always turned off his phone. But no one knew where he went. It seemed like he just disappeared into then air then appeared a couple of hours later. Following him was impossible. 

“ugh” Natasha groans as she flopped on the couch she had lost Bucky again. This was the fourth time she followed him and the fourth time she lost him. Honestly, she hated to admit it but his skills were better than hers. 

“What’s up?” Peter asked as he came in seeing Earth’s mightiest hero scattered around the room looked defeated. 

“Bucky” Steve simply said 

“What’s wrong is he okay?” Peter asked he assumed something bad had happened to the soldier and that’s why everyone was so defeated in the moment. 

“He’s fine. We just can’t find him.” Clint said eating pizza on the counter. 

“Isn’t he still at the hospital?” everyone looked at him confused “ He volunteers at the hospital? The children love him.” 

“wait... what?”

“I have a friend who’s mom works at the hospital she says Bucky is there all the time playing with the kids. It’s a little hospital secret though they don’t the press to find out and ruin Bucky’s time with them.... I thought you guys knew?”

It was true had begun making regular visits to the children’s hospital. Peter had joined him on occasion as Spiderman and as Peter Parker. The two enjoyed their time together and with the children. 

“Let’s go” Tony said as he got up and grabbed his jacket. 

“where?”

“The children’s hospital.”

-

So Peter was telling the truth as Bucky Barnes was now sitting in front of them sitting in a tiny chair putting together a little puzzle with two adorable little girls in hospital gowns. He seemed calm and happy as he laughed at what the children around him said. Relaxed and happy they’ve never seen Bucky like this before he seemed to really be enjoying being in the children’s presences. 

A Nurse went over and tapped Bucky’s shoulder pointing towards the door where the rest of the Avengers stood. He quickly gave the girls and excuse and made his way towards them even pushing them into the hall so the children couldn’t see them. 

“What are you doing here?” He hissed 

“no, what are you doing here?” 

“shove it, Stark. what do you want?”

“we’ve been looking for you. You’ve been disappearing so much lately we just wanted to know where you were disappearing off to. Honestly, this is unexpected.” Rhodey said. 

“I thought you were off somewhere getting drunk. This is a step up.” Clint said looking around the hospital. 

“Why are you here?” Steve asked. 

“I just... the kids... Do you remember that think we did here for PR?”

“Yeah, like eight months ago”

“I met a little girl and she said her birthday was the week after that. I told her I would come back and celebrated with her. So I did then there was another birthday and more kids asked and... I just became a regular here. I enjoy spending my time here.” Bucky sighed as he leaned against the wall. 

“They don’t know anything about me, what I’ve done, to them I’m awesome. I’m a hero with an awesome arm and an undefeatable go-fish strike. They’re just so innocent and ... I like how pure they are their happiest is so infectious. I really like spending my time with them.”

“Okay, why didn’t you tell us we could-”

“I didn’t want the press to find out and ruin it. I like just being with them not putting on an act” Bucky said. 

“I get it” Sam said “ This is your safe place. Where you go to feel peace. You don’t want anyone to ruin that.” 

“Totally cool with this hanging with kids. I’m okay” Clint says as he eyed the lunch cart. 

“we all are” Wanda said pulling Clint away from the cart. 

“Forgive us Mr. Barnes we don’t mean to intrude we were just worried about your disappearances” Vision said 

“He’s right we were just worried about your well being” Thor said stepping in “ how about you introduce us to your little friends. They’ve already seen us it would be rude not to meet them.” 

“I texted Pepper. She’ll keep the press away for today and every day after that. You don’t have to worry about anyone else ruining you safe place.” 

“Now about you tell us little bit about your fans” Steve said leading him back to the play room. The children cheered as the Avenger arrived. 

“Look like you’ve got more volunteers” Peter says to the head nurse they just smile.

[randomnameless]

With your discussion about unreliable narrators, I'm starting to think FE16's route design was flawed from the get go. If it wants to go for the mystery/questions and answers and unreliable narrator aspect, it should lock 3 of the routes and have one route be a "question" route while the rest could be "answer" routes (kinda like Higurashi if you've read that) instead of having its uwu cake and eating it.

I haven't read Higarushi -

But even if it didn't have unreliable narrators, I think TS pulled it out better (even that nonsense of a golden ending).

It is heavily implied something is shady with Hyzante, but you completely miss it in one route, and sort of miss it in another (no humanoid puppets, but freaky white horsies instead). Gustadolf's nonsense and motivations ? You finally get them in one route, as you outwit him, or in the route you rekt him, but not in the route where you dgaf about the world.

People react to what they see, and when they discover that all (or some) of their thoughts and beliefs don't align with reality.

Now, with FE16...

Unreliable narrators means Church BaD and always BaD, so when you discover the "why" of all the secrecy behind the Church being BaD, it's treated as a sesame seed on a bun (I previously compared the VW reveal to the suprised pikachu face, but surprised pikachu at least had a reaction), and it resumes the uwu.

I mean, this is the reason why I've started to appreciate less and less VW, for the so-called "lore" route, nothing really changes save for a few dialogues, but the end remains the same.

No discussion about "making two different people interact with each other doesn't always end up in roses and daisies sometimes it ends in genocide" or some "sometimes it's better to hide the truth if it means protecting some people", nope, it's the usual Clout-style "out with the old, place to the new".

Can you imagine that the supposed lore-route (I call VW like this, because we learn Rhea's full history about Nabateans, meet Birdie and Nemesis'n'Dudes + Momo) doesn't have Seteth or Flayn react to their enemies??

It's as if you put Cordelia against Gustadolf, and forgot to add a battle quote, what the literal fuck?

I'm more surprised they didn't forget to add a special battle quote between Flayn'n'Seteth when they fight against Indech'n'Macuil, but damn.

Unreliable narration utterly failed in FE16 because uwu means you can't give a fuck about the lore (Nabateans, Duscur, other states, etc etc) else all those Church BaD echoes suddenly lose traction and meaning, and Supreme Leader (and her expy Clout) looks, uh, well, misguided at best.

Imo that's why, even in Nopes, we couldn't have the "answer" or golden route - you can't demolish the uwu like that. At best she becomes Supreme Puppet for people who are, uh, in this kink, but never will anyone tell her that "maybe having pointy ears doesn't mean you are an abject creature with no regards for humanity nor does it disqualifies you from caring about the people".

Tl;dr : The narrators have to remain unreliable in the Fodlan games to support Supreme Leader.

MASTERLIST

Chapter 62: Dreams Again

A/N: If you haven’t seen it go check out this awesome cover art @pamgkrthart​ made for this story: LINK

You were in the house that the young boy was left all alone in; you assume it was Kylo’s childhood home.

She didn’t speak at first. The older woman, she invited you to sit with her. She silently offered you tea, which you accepted. You watched each other.

“You are probably wondering why I brought you here. Why we are speaking now.” Her voice had a feminine leathery sort of sound, calm but aged in a way that you know she has been through a lot.

You simply nodded, not knowing if your voice was going to work or not.

“I fear for my son, Ben. You know him as Kylo, a creature of his own construction. I know of his plans, his plans to kill Ben, to kill the light within him, and thus the need to kill me. This I know to be my fate.” She looked down into her own cup of tea, not meeting your eyes before continuing. “Ben was once a happy boy, before Kylo, before everything went wrong. His father and I may not have been the best parents, but know that we loved him, that I still love him.”

She was quiet for a while, staring into her cup. You could feel the emotions coming off of her in soft waves.

You attempted to speak, putting in a bit of effort, “What is your name?” You had yet to learn of either of Kylo’s parents. You now had a face, but you wanted a name.

“Leia,” she then looked at you in the eyes. Which were filled with grief, “Your name has always brought him comfort. Since he was old enough to understand what was on his wrist. Something his father and I could never do after sending him away.” She paused for a moment. You could see her holding back tears. “We thought we were doing what was best. Now I know we were wrong. His father was afraid there was too much of my father in him, but I know better now. Ben is good, but Kylo is not. You need to believe me.”

You were confused by her words. “You sent your only son away? Why?” If Kylo wasn’t going to give you answers, you were going to try to get them from her.

“My brother, Luke was a Jedi. He was taught the ways of the Force, he taught me. Once the Empire had fallen, we felt it was safe enough to start the Jedi Order again. So Luke opened up a temple. To train those who are strong in the Force to be able to use it. Ben was one of them. He was unstable at times, I couldn’t teach him, so we sent him to train with my brother. He was young, too young, I know that now. He felt that we had abandoned him, but that was never my intention.”

Before she could continue you interjected, “But it wasn’t the first time you had abandoned him, was it?” You recalled the dream that you had. The one that also took place in this house, the one with the boy.

She looked shocked. Probably wondering how you knew such a thing. “We never meant to. His father and I loved each other, but we weren’t good for each other, not in the long run. We were matches, but we worked better as separates together than we did as a couple. We were the people who worked out better as platonic soulmates versus romantic. That doesn’t mean I didn’t love him, I did, but we were healthier apart.”

You wondered if this was an omen for your own relationship, would Kylo and you ever work out? Or would you bring a child into existence and not realize where your fates lied until it was too late.“So you sent him away, then what?”

“He was trained by his uncle but influenced by another. Influenced by Snoke who turned him to the dark side, like my father before him. He tormented him into thinking that we were the ones that were wrong.”

“But weren’t you? You said it yourself, you sent him away. You abandoned him. You raised him in an unhealthy household. I have felt some of his pain. Things you have caused. Things that I now must fix, must mend to make him whole again.” You were fighting back both tears and anger now. She may be his mother, one who loves him, but she has caused him so much pain, pain you doubted that you could heal.

“I just want my son to come home. I want him to know I still love him. That I forgive him for what he has done. I just want him home.”

You stared at her, the anger now starting to take control. “So tell me. Just what has he done?”

“He has killed both his father Han Solo and his uncle Luke Skywalker. He has killed a great many other people too. All in the name of power and the First Order. He will kill me too, in order to finally end Ben Solo.”

Her words hit you like a bus. So she was his final task. Killing his mother was part of his plan to kill Ben Solo--to protect you. You tried to not let this faze you as you asked, “And what of Rey? What is she in all this?”

Her face eclipsed with confusion as she answered, “They are connected somehow through the Force, I do not know why. Luke did not know why. She has been helping me bring him home.”

Tears fully spilling from your eyes, the anger and heartbreak taking over your rational. Venom filling your mouth, “So you both want me gone? You both want me to step away from him? Because why? So you can attempt to fix what you have broken? To take my soulmate away from me just so you can be a happy family again? When he has explicitly said that isn’t what he wants? I don’t think so.” You stood up from the table. Ready to march out the door of this dream.

She stopped you, “Wait. I never told Rey to try to get him to abandon you. That is her agenda. I just want my son. Please let him know I would like to see him. That I want him to come home.”

You faced her now, “Why don’t you visit his dreams instead, I’m sure that would be more effective,” you spat.

“I can’t, he is too strong in the Force. Your mind is weaker. And he will listen to you. Please, I want my son home.” You could tell that she could also feel the dream world shake around her. Whatever she was doing to make this happen was starting to fail now.

You coldly met her eyes, “No, you need to listen to him. If he doesn’t want to come home, then you need to listen. You obviously didn’t respect his wishes when he was a young boy. But you need to do so now. You’ve harmed him enough. Ben wasn’t strong enough, but Kylo is.” You stormed out of the house. As the door slammed behind you the dream world dissipated. And you woke up in a cold sweat.

Kylo was awake next to you, sitting up in a hurry, “Kitten what’s wrong?” You could hear the worry in his voice.

“I’ve just met your mother. And let’s just say things didn’t go well.” Really, the other women in his life, other than anyone in the First Order, had a real knack for pissing you off.

He shifted next to you, “Show me.” It wasn’t a question, but a simple command.

You both held eye contact for a moment before shutting your eyes and leaning into him. You felt his hand caress your face as you replayed the dream if you could call it that.

His voice was stern, “Kitten?”

You hummed in response. Wondering what he was angry about.

“I will have to be in your mind. You are too weak to be able to protect yourself from them. I must do it, you leave me no other choice.”

Before you could respond you felt the tendrils come back in full force. This time they were no longer politely inhabiting your brain. They took up every square inch. Leaving no memory or thought untouched. You blacked out from the force of it all.

You dreamed again, but this time it was a variation of the throne dream. You were once again sitting on a throne with the black shaggy dog. Except this time you were watching your own reflection, instead of encountering another version of yourself.

You looked the same in the reflection, but the dog didn’t. The dog was Kylo, still with a chain around his neck, and his head in your lap. You watched as the Kylo in the reflection seemed to bask under the pets that were given to him.

You watched as in his hand out of nowhere appeared his lightsaber. He ignited it. In one quick slash, he cut his chain. You quickly looked over at the dog that was next to you, his chain still intact. You then returned your attention back to Kylo. He had removed the collar that was around his neck and disabled the lightsaber and placed it on his belt.

You then watched as he came closer to the edge of the reflection, inspecting it. He then stepped forward through the threshold of your side. The reflection shattering behind him, like broken glass. As if he was actually trapped in a mirror. He approached you.

“Kitten, you look wonderful as an Empress.” He knelt down on one knee, taking your hand in his, kissing it. “I am unworthy to bask in your radiance. To grovel at your feet.”

You grabbed his face in your hands and brought your face to his, “Thank you Kylo, but that simply isn’t true.” You then kissed him deeply. This time you took dominance over the kiss, he submitted to your actions.

He moaned and broke the kiss for a moment. “Kitten,” his voice purred.

But before the dream could continue, you felt pressure behind your ear.

“Kitten, it’s time to wake up,” called the Kylo that was based in reality.

Your head felt as if it weighed a million pounds as you attempted to wake up. You could feel the tendrils shift as you did so. “Mmm, I don’t feel good.”

His hand carded through your hair, you felt the weight lessen, but not completely dissipate. “You can’t stay in bed all day.”

“Why not?” You turned on your side so your back was facing him.

“Because if you stay in bed, I’ll want to stay in bed. And then no progress gets done. And then we are that much father from you becoming Empress.”

“You mostly want me to become Empress so I’ll have sex with you,” you huffed.

“That isn’t the only reason. I think you would make a great Empress and that the galaxy isn’t worthy to have you rule over it.” His hands caressed down your sides, just as the tendrils caressed your mind.

“Fine, but I want to lay in bed until Adlez and Olivia-Rose get here.” He seemed content with this answer as he got up to get ready. Leaving you alone.

Even though you weren’t fully awake, and you felt the tendrils moving about you tried to process what you learned through the night. Your mind came up short as the tendrils kept shifting. You weren’t able to complete a stable thought.

The Chosen

“For to us a child is born, …Of the greatness of His government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over His kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever…” Isaiah 9:6-7NIV

From my earliest memories of church life, we were told about the last days; anti-christ; tribulation period; rapture of the church; wedding supper of Christ. Scriptures were drilled into our minds. In exactly the same manner, little boy Jews were drilled in learning the Torah verbatim. They were taught Messiah would set up His earthly kingdom— immediately— after arrival. Instead of being the enslaved, Jews would be world leaders.

Let me tell you, if you’re not watching the video series, “The Chosen” about the life of Christ— you are missing something awesome. In the latest segment I watched, the twelve disciples were discussing life as children; dreaming of being in Messiah’s army conquering Rome; taking their pretend swords and killing those Romans enslaving them. At long last each disciple could live out their dreams, fighting alongside of Jesus in the battle. Only Jesus wasn’t fighting— He was healing the sick.

STOP —Did you understand what you just read? Exactly like I learned about the end times, fearing those times with every cell of my body— these Jewish disciples learned of the Messiah, war, conquering. They thought there would be a war with the Romans, which Jesus would win. Then they would be leaders in Jesus’ kingdom. I thought there’d be a tribulation and I’d be tortured.

How different is their ideas from our ideas of Jesus coming to assist us; setting up His earthly kingdom now; destroying the evil in our world; rescuing us from the Democrats, the One World Government and the liberal nut-jobs? I have to admit, I’m quite the romantic. My passion is for Christ to coming riding in on a white horse, conquer sin, allowing us to live happily ever after. This is quite possibly a dream going unrealized.

Jesus, of Bible days, didn’t come conquering. But per Bible Mesh, Jesus’ FOLLOWERS conquered Rome with love, showing compassion to the diseased and needy masses. They never swung a sword, rather yielded their lives to service of those who had hated, misused, and mistreated them.

Are you a spoiled American, used to freedom? I am. You?Would we still serve Yahweh, if He allowed us to live under rule of the evil? To do mighty miracles of love, healing and service to those taking away our rights and privileges? Don’t get me wrong, I believe God is going to move as He promised and change our administration. Either way, we’ll still have to deal with the evil in both House, Senate and Supreme Court. Such things call for massive prayer efforts and love.  

What if Yahweh wanted us to display Him through lives totally surrendered to Him in the face of death or torture for His name sake. Could we— count it as joy and consider ourselves “Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for My sake” Matthew 5:11KJV?

If the answer isn’t ‘yes,’ the thought comes into my mind: Perhaps I’m not truly a dead Christian— “…crucified with Christ…” Galatians 2:20KJV. Have you, have I died enough to self, to be “…buried therefore with Him by baptism into death…” Romans 6:4ESV. Dead people don’t mind discomfort.

Are we holding onto our lives as more important than His? After all, “His government and peace there will be no end.” Not our government— the USA will one day end….. Let that sink in. It’s your choice. You choose.

PRAYERS: Lord God, COME kingdom of God. BE DONE will of God in our nation and lives. Help us to expect the best in faith, and live as You command in life until we see your best, in Jesus Christ’s name I pray.
