water polo player! abby

a/n: hey!! i know i said id be posting for ellie first but this thought hasn't left me for a month. i love the though of this oh my god i am feral. thanks for reading! rb or comment to support a lil fic author :) also i'm gonna be referring to water polo as a super gay sport and that's because it is xoxo i mean high contact with buff women. like.

-content/warnings: 1.4k, mentions of contact sport violence, smut scenes (strap, riding abby, nickname 'beautiful', semipublic sex in a locker room, fingering, oral (both receiving), gn reader but has a pussy, mentions of roughhousing in water/ drowning (not really drowning but yk)

men dni.

water polo is one of the most intense sports- it's high contact, rough, with a high probability of being punched, getting a black eye, etc

but when you're as buff as ms abby anderson here, it's not as big of a deal

there aren't really many set positions in wp, but the most important one is center- placed front-and-center of the goal, they're the person everyone looks to to get a good shot

center has to be dependable, strong, and fast

abby is perfect! her drive is amazing (ahem ahem) and she's constantly swimming like crazy to get into position so her team can rely on her

she started in high school, learning the ropes and getting to know the sport

got crazy good, and was definitely a very proud varsity athlete. she knows she's good, so why shouldn't she flaunt a bit?

im gonna be honest she absolutely wore her varsity jacket for way too long during freshman year in college

she joined her collegiate team (possibly on a small grant/scholarship) and met the most amazing team

it's hard to be queer in sports a lot of the time, but her entire team is queer/allied!! she has a space to be herself which she really appreciates

she blossoms on that team

every girl at her college absolutely drops their panties for her im not even kidding. its not even that fun to her because she just wants someone to love, not just a hookup

((that doesn't mean she rejects them all though))

the pretty center draws crowds to the natatorium

and that includes you, of course

you're a friend of the goalie and you're not all that into sports, but once you hear that the hot girl you've been thirsting over in org. chem is there?? it's all over, goodBYE

you are seated right in the action, front row of the bleachers, cheering in school colors, pretty eyes glimmering in the bright sun, sweat drops dripping down the front of your shirt

abby is fully focused on her game but when she's benched she gets a liiiiiittle distracted ngl

like i said though, she's mostly game face

but after a win? she feels like she's never lost. she's pure confidence and she decides to keep the streak going and see if she can successfully get your number

it's slightly awkward because when abby gets closer she sees that wow you are so much more attractive than she first thought when she had chlorine water in her eyes

so she just doesn't ask you out lolol she bails and bugs the goalie about you for the week leading up to the game, asking who you are, if you're coming next time, if you like this or that

her hands are so large and strong from gripping that ball... just imagine what they could be used for !

her thighs are absolutely massive- she has to stay above the water somehow, and the kicking she has to do has sculpted her into a thunder-thigh goddess

eating her out is insane because she fucking clamps down on your head with her thighs LMAO

broad shoulders that you can hold while riding her

strong shoulders that you grip and squeeze onto for dear life every night before a game as she plows into you for "good luck"

-the room is filled with the rhythmic slapping of her skin against your thighs as she grips your hips and bucks up into you.

"taking it so well for me, huh? my little good luck charm..." and you can't say anything. you just whine as you feel every muscle in her body working overtime to treat you just right

the veins in her forearms throb and pop out as she bounces you up and down, touching and squeezing and groping everywhere she can. she looks up at you cheekily, biting her lips and grinning. "there we go, beautiful, look 't you go"

"i'll be sore tomorrow" she says. it isn't a complaint. she says it's her favorite workout

yeah she says she's done but she's also finger fucking you in the locker room during half-time

-"sorry coach, i'll be quick, i promise!" abby lifts herself out of the pool with pure upper body strength, muscles tensing and water dripping off her like some kind of lesbian wet dream. when she promises haste, she means you'll be quick, because you know the drill. you're already amongst the rows of lockers as abby pushes you against them, sliding past your underwear and shoving her fingers in. her thumb is on your clit, middle and ring fingers finding your g-spot immediately and going at it relentlessly. "think you can do 5 minutes for me, beautiful?

-you can because she won't accept anything else. you're cumming all over her fingers, groaning at the overstimulation as she fucks you through it. when you're done, she pulls out, inserting her fingers into her mouth and cleaning them. you shoot her a playful dirty look as she jogs back out the locker room door

-"thanks for the pep talk, babe!" girl.

she wins every game and says it's because of you

it's sweet, but she's just that good of an athlete

but if you met her because you play too? oh get ready for a whole 'nother world

you're her defense during practice, in the trenches with her and jumping over her shoulders to make sure she doesn't get the ball

but she'll do petty shit to fluster you, like turning and kissing your shoulder and holding your hand in the middle of wrestling for position like ???

-"anderson!" the team captain reprimands. she gives a cheeky smile and puts her game face back on, pinching your thigh underwater where nobody can see

water polo players' love language is straight up drowning people. like the coach yells for everyone to meet him in the corner of the pool and instead she's fucking barrelling toward you, wanting to pull you under

when you're waiting to practice throwing the ball into the goal, she'll slide under the surface and tug at your ankles to pull you

when you come back up, she's giggling like a child and acting like it was another teammate

-"abby, i know it was you, you idiot!" you say, grinning

despite not really having jerseys like in other sports, abby will have you wear her team merch with logos

you wear last year's team shirt to bed, her flannel pants to class, her two-piece tops when you go to the beach with her

you go crazy for her when she's in her polo suit. they're tight so that players can't get grabbed, but it's tight in all the right places

it showcases abby's broad shoulders and slutty waist, curving around her chest and tastefully contouring her back muscles

thank god for this sport, you think

she always complains about how the suit rides up her butt, giving her a slight wedgie, but it gives you perfect access to her tight ass

smacksmacksmack

-"can you hold off for one minute, babe?"

-"no."

it's like there's no person attached to that ass. and she's just as obsessed with yours dw! she uses those big hands to grasp your entire cheek and land a harsh slap! on there that makes you jump. she just smiles n laughs

water polo! abby who takes you out to dinner after games and ends up stealing your food because "ohmygodbabeimsohungryyoudontevenunderstand"

it's like she's never eaten

speaking of eating... (im sorry)

she will throw your legs open when she eats you out. if you try to shut them she'll use the full force of her forearms to pin your thighs down and dig her face deeper in your pussy, sucking and licking like a woman starved

who wrote that. i didn't. anyways..

you put her hair up in a fishtail braid for her !! then she'll ask you to put her swim cap on and give you a cute smile when you screw it up

-"i fucked it up! sorry!"

-"babe it looks great" while she's tucking all her shorter hairs into the bottom of it

if her team is winning by a lot, she'll mess around a bit and point at you after she scores a goal, and you roll your eyes and your face feels hot because she's so ridiculous

but you do feel a lil special.

anyways water polo abby mi amor :3333 take me in the locker room

Okay so I dunno if anybody else has asked for anything similar (probably have) but I'd just like to say that I absolutely LOVE the Cocky/Fun Hero x Stoic/Serious Villain trope

So could I have some of that 👀 you can have a field day with it, I'd just love to see it

(ALSO IF YOU AND CAT HAVE PERSONAS CAN I DRAW YOU TWO PLEASE PLEASELPLEWSLSENPPLEA)

We don’t really have personas?? But you can draw us of course. Use your imagination~

Cw: this is smutty if you couldn’t already tell from the title

Pathetic Puppy

Hero’s eyes followed their nemesis, watching them pace calmly from one side of the room to the other, hardly batting an eye at the crime-stopper they had so conveniently kidnapped earlier that morning. Twirling a small knife between their fingers with care, unaffected by any of the other’s remarks.

The hero on the other hand was sat in an ill-fitting metal chair, wrists tied tightly behind their back, forcing them to sit up straight to avoid further discomfort. However, despite their position, Hero couldn’t shut up.

“So when are you going to get to the actual fun stuff?” Villain shot them a glare, but made no other recoil. “I mean, if you’re going to tie me up and spread me out all pretty like this… Why waste an opportunity, am I right?”

The smirk in Hero’s tone was so obvious it made Villains blood boil. They had to remain serious. They had kidnapped the hero for answers not teasing, Villain couldn’t bear another second of it.

“I hate to break it to you, but you actually have to touch the other person to edge them—”

“Shut. Up.”

Villain halted their pacing, turning to face their captive as they crowded in on their personal space. Placing the point of their dagger against the column of Hero’s throat.

“Do you ever just shut up? Can’t you take anything seriously?”

A beat of silence passed, Hero’s eyes wide as they blinked innocently up at their nemesis who was towering over them. Then, Hero grinned, eyes dancing from the blade at their throat to the fuming Villain above.

“Is this a bad time to tell you that I’m into this?”

The villain sighed exasperatedly, rubbing their free hand over their face in annoyance. They needed a nap, anything over fifteen minutes with the hero was exhausting. How did they have such smugness to their demeanour all the time.

“What. You have something for knife play?”

Hero snickered, swallowing shallowly to avoid being sliced open by the villain’s knife. “Kidnapping and torture actually. It’s why I became a hero.”

Villain tossed their weapon the side, groaning out of pure spite and utter hatred for their cocky captive. They couldn’t pretend anymore that it didn’t drive them insane, every business talk turned into flirting and every serious conversation became a tactic of seduction.

Some part of them was convinced this was an attitude Hero kept up with everyone they met, but never had Villain actually been able to prove it.

“Well you obviously aren’t drained enough of your energy and charisma to talk about your facility plans, so how about I leave you to stir for a couple hours and then come back.” Villain leaned forwards, placing their hands on Hero’s thighs—not even considering the consequences this action might bring—and squeezing lightly.

Hero dropped their face in an instant, head angled towards the ground and breathing coming in shallower. Villain squeezed harder, nails digging into their enemy’s thighs at their lack of compliance.

“How does that sound, hm? You like that?” Villains thumbs worked the inside of Hero’s thighs as they spoke, gently pushing into the plush skin, lips by Hero’s ear and breath hot against their neck.

Genuinely, Villain didn’t think anything of it. To them it was a fear tactic, your enemy up close and in your space threatening you with potential longtime sensory deprivation? That scared the hell out of the criminal. They figured Hero felt the same way.

But then, Hero whimpered. They fucking whimpered.

A whiny strained sound that caught Villains immediate attention. It did something Villain had never experienced before, the sound their nemesis made set their whole body ablaze.

Not in a bad way, no not at all. No, this was a good fire. One that ignited feelings Villain hadn’t felt in years and all of a sudden, they wanted more.

“Hero.”

The one in question didn’t move, didn’t even make a sound besides the shuddering of their breath. Eyes still glued to the floor and face still tucked into their chest.

Villain, however, didn’t have time to sit around and wait. One hand moving swiftly from the hero’s thigh to a strong grip at the roots of their hair, wrenching Hero’s head up as far as it would go.

Hero yelped, gasping, pain centred at their scalp and their neck of which Villain pulled at uncomfortably. Squeezing their eyes tightly closed to avoid the sudden onslaught of light in their face.

Villain merely smirked, examining the hero’s look with great detail. Red in the face, mouth slightly agape and taking in short bursts of air, tousled hair, frantic eyes as they opened, sweat beating their forehead, throat bobbing up and down.

“God. You look so pathetic.”

Hero consequently whined helplessly at the remark, trying to look anywhere, but in the villain’s eyes.

“Oh yeah? You’re into that? You like it when I call you pathetic? When I degrade you about how powerless and needy you are?” Villain had never acted like this before, it somewhat surprised themselves, but the hero was different, there was something so addictive and intoxicating about the sounds they made that left all of Villain’s ego behind. All of that business meetings and facility plans were far gone in the dust now.

“Go on, sweetie.” Villain egged, “Make another pretty whimper for me, hm?”

Hero complied right away. Spilling some pleas and whines and whimpers from their red lips desperately. Promises to be good and obedient for the villain were mindlessly tripping off their tongue, lost entirely in the heat between their nemesis and themselves.

Villains eyes lit up, humming softly as they brought their other hand to trace Hero’s jawline, down to their neck and across their tensed shoulders.

“You’re such a good puppy… So good for me, hm?”

Every word that came out of Villains mouth seemed to embarrass Hero to a new extent, but when Villain took a glance between Hero’s restrained thighs they could see the effect Hero couldn’t help themselves from having against it.

It was pitiful. Fuck, everything about Hero was pitiful and defenceless and the way they acted so tough, but couldn’t handle two seconds of touch nor two words of degradation? It was exhilarating.

“Hmm…” Villain travelled their free hand across and down Hero’s body, finally teasing between their legs as they began to stroke with their thumb.

“I think it’s my turn to have some fun, no?”

Finding Love Katakuri x Reader Part 18

"This way. Follow Sweet General Katakuri!", Perospero ordered, while passing the Mirroworld with a chess soldier army behind his back.

The lolly pop lover was catching up with his brother, but didn't dare to say a word. Alone the cold aura which erupted from his body, let him shake in fear.

"I never saw him so strained…", Perospero thought uneasy and looked up to his serious expression. He knew what bothers him and mostly it was his fault. To his luck Katakuri never would lay a finger on his siblings. That's what he hoped nervously. Perospero cursed under his breath about his stupid actions.

" Brother. I am sorry that I told Mama that the straw hats have the wedding cake… I focused on the situation I was in and not about (Y/N). I was so in panic of her going berserk… ", he spoke sadly and waited for a reaction. Even if it was a shout. He would endure it, because Katakuri had every right to be pissed.

" Katakuri? "

"Brother? "

Nothing. Perospero sighed and looked down to the floor. He would do anything to make it up to him. And mostly his wife.

"The next time you are in panic of Mama, shut your mouth and endure it.", Katakuri's voice shot through the silence like an arrow.

"I am sorry…", Perospero apologized again.

"You bought us time to get another cake.", Katakuri looked down to his brother, who thought this was a good thing, but the angered look showed him otherwise.

"But a safed island is nothing compared to my wife's life.", he spoke in a threatening tone, which let his face go pale.

"If (Y/N) is still with the straw hats and get hurt because of you or worse…the rest is up to you to imagine.", Katakuri spoke shortly and went on.

Sweat rolled down Perospero's face and he had to control his trembling body. Their mother could be a scary monster, but Katakuri was on a whole different level.

" Don't get behind. ", Katakuri growled pissed and pulled him out of his trance. Didn't realizing that he had froze in the spot, after his brother scared the shit out of him, he quickly jumped and catched up with the group.

Katakuri balled his fists in anger. First this bastard Bege could escape with the straw hats, while taking his wife with them and then he have to endure the thought that (Y/N) is in direct contact with Mama's hunger pang. A situation so worse that the chance of surviving was like 0. He couldn't go after her either. His mother was faster than he ever would be able to. The easiest and best solution was to go like already planned and head to their ship through the mirroworld. They sure were already on the way there and so he was able to get (Y/N) as soon as possible. Hopefully.

"(Y/N)…", he thought stressed and couldn't believe that she was again out there on her own. He swore to keep her safe at all cost and now he was again walking alone and dealing with the thought of failing. This feeling inside of him let him go insane. He, the collected, calm and strongest sweet commander was afraid. And the only thing he could do was trusting her to get out of it alive and walking faster to reach his destination.

On the other side (Y/N) was screaming in fear of attacking fire balls, which flew past her head. Big mom's craving for the cake got more and more insane and she attacked the tree with all she got.

"What cake do you mean!? We don't have one you crazy hag!!", Luffy shouted pissed and shielded himself with his haki to avoid any damage.

"You have my cake!!!!! Give me my wedding cake!!!! I will destroy you straw hats!!", she went on, captured in her insanity.

Believing that it would be over now, Nami stepped before everyone and focused her weapon to Big mom's cloud and to everyones surprise she was able to stop it with a special technique. With a loud crash, Big mom smashed to the ground, while they were able to get more space between them.

"Nami you were amazing.! You saved us!", (Y/N) cheered happily, but stopped in her tracks after spotting a familiar face above her.

"(Y/N) thank God you are safe!!! I heard you were taken by the straw hat crew and were in between the fights. ", Pudding shouted relieved, while the others gasped of her sudden appearance. Not only because of that. Chiffon stood next to Pudding with a worried expression on her face. Confused (Y/N) didn't understand why they were flying all the way here on a magic carpet. On top of that Chiffon didn't seem to get along well with her family. So why was she with Pudding?

"I don't have much time. Sanji you have to come with us. We can't stop Mama without a cake! We need your help. Chiffon is helping too.", Pudding called out for her ex groom, who was deciding what to do.

(Y/N) was unsure of what to think about Pudding. It seemed that she didn't have any bad intentions, but that wasn't so easy to believe. Nevertheless she was right.

" She is right. Mama will go on till she is satisfied…in the end she will destroy the whole island. ", (Y/N) spoke scared, but was stopped by a soft hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry (Y/N) ~swan, I will take care of it.", he spoke and jumped up to the carpet.

"I will come to the sunny when I am done. Go ahead Luffy.", he called out. Captured by his appearance and closeness, Pudding felt blood triple down her nose and she nodded happily. (Y/N) hesitated at first, but she couldn't miss this chance at any cost.

"Pudding, did you meet Katakuri on your way here? Is he alright?", she asked full of hope. Pudding smiled down to her worried gaze.

"The last time I saw him was at sweet city. He was alright with his usual angered expression. Sadly I don't have more information for you.", she sang while focusing on Sanji. (Y/N) smiled of the thought of him.

"But (Y/N)….!", Pudding was about to say something but was interrupted by a glowing light of Big mom's sun Prometheus.

Everything happened so fast that (Y/N) wasn't able to follow. Quickly she was grabbed by Luffy, while he jumped down from the tree and crashed into the ground. Her vision got blurry of the immense heat which surrounded them and everything was tinted red.

"Kingbaum !!", Nami shouted terrifyed and had to see how the tree, which they were traveling on, was burnt down into ashes by Big mom's sun. Shocked (Y/N) grabbed Luffy's vest for support, who hold her close to protect her from the heat. "You bastard…", he growled pissed , but knew that there was nothing he could do anymore.

"Nami we have to leave!!!", Luffy took her hand and pulled her along with (Y/N) close by. The seducing woods were the last part before reaching their ship, but because of Kingbaum's death the trees were getting in the way. Frustrated Luffy fought his way through them, while their goal was just meters away. Desperate everyone was looking and searching for a way to get out. But suddenly their aggressive behavior turned into a confused and calm one.

"Luffy!", Sanji called out and appeared beside them on the magic carpet.

"Pudding is helping you with the trees..", he called out and Pudding used her special ability to let the trees remember their past lifes. Relieved Luffy thanked them happily.

"(Y/N)! Come with me. We head back to cacao Island!", she called out and reached out for her hand. Hesitating her look fell onto Luffy and Nami who knew what was going to happen.

"(Y/N) needs to go back. She is one of us.", Pudding went on seriously. (Y/N) smiled bitterly of the truth and the thought to say goodbye to them. She really liked the happy attitude of Luffy and hoped to see Chopper one last time. Looking at Luffy he too wasn't happy to part ways.

"We knew from the beginning that my travel with your crew will end sooner or later. After all i am a hostage and an enemy. Let me return to where I belong… You and your crew had to suffer a lot and still you were all so kind to keep me safe as well. Protecting me even if you get hurt. I am very grateful.", she spoke and let the others smile of her kind words.

" You never were an enemy to us. You are our nakama (Y/N). And I would keep you safe if you come with us. I told you to bring you to the Sunny and then back to your husband. ", the straw hat captain spoke seriously and took her off guard.

" I know Luffy. But I know where this would end. And I don't want to interfere in what is about to happen, because I can't stop it. Seeing you and your crew hurt would make me terribly sad. And seeing Katakuri and his siblings hurt would break my heart. So this is for the best.. ", (Y/N) 's words stunned everyone.

"It's okay (Y/N). We will miss you a lot.", Luffy came to her side and hugged her tightly.

"If Katakuri would see that, he would break Luffy in two..", Pudding spoke shocked, while Sanji growled frustrated that his captain always got this opportunity.

"I think this is the last time we see each other. Luffy thank you for everything. You are a great captain with the heart on the right spot. Don't ever change and I wish you and your crew all the best.. and if you meet Katakuri… I know you are enemies, but tell him i am okay..Will you? I can imagine how worried he is right now and this made him loose his focus. I don't want him to get hurt because of me..", she told Luffy and hugged him back tightly. It was like saying goodbye to a longtime friend. The shadow of his hat covered his smile. With a serious "I will. I wish you all the best (Y/N)… ", he lifted her up and placed her on the carpet.

"Nami stay safe and say goodbye to Chopper for me. He is really cute and I like him a lot.", (Y/N) spoke her last goodbye, while leaving the straw hat crew behind. Silently Luffy and Nami gave each other a sad smile.

"I didn't know her like you do, but she is really a kind hearted woman. Unbelievable to think that she belongs to Katakuri.", Jimbei spoke surprised, while Luffy turned away, his look guided to the beach.

"Let's go Luffy…", Nami spoke while brushing a tear away. Nodding the captain and the others were rushing through the woods. Finally reaching their goal, while loosing a dear friend on the way.

okay okay, THEIF AU. hear me out

the tweels are mafia implied??? iirc lmao but azul mobster vs jamil viper swiper

jamil is a theif for hire and azuls just a silly mob boss silly guy :3 but jamil gets paid BIG BUCKS one day, to steal from azul. he does and is the ONLY person who has ever succeeded on azul. he gets snapped into this infatuation because he NEEDS jamil by his side.

you know how he tries to get jamil to join octavinelle..? yeah thats him trying to get jamil to be his mob wife. he starts STALKING forums to see who hires jamil and what they want him to steal. he starts showing up to all the places jamil does, even canceling important business meetings in order to see jamil, just to pester him.

"we could rule together, side by side." "i can give you anything you want, all the riches of the world. you wouldn't have to move a finger, with me, if thats what you desired, love." -azul, probably.

and jamil "i just stole important shit from you??" viper is CONFUSED AS HELL because this important guy, isn't doing anything to enact revenge. so he thinks that azul is trying to conn him, to hurt him. he cant imagine that azul would be genuine in his attempts.

so they play cat and mouse. (aka azul follows him on his hires and lets jamil steal his stuff (tweels are ???))

meanwhile, azul has been personally ensuring the safety of jamil, even though zu doesn't know his real identity so he protects him on jobs and stuff. then one day the worst happens and jamil gets knocked unconscious. azul is immediately in action (probably uhh does some erm bad things to the guys who did it tbh!) and takes azul to his base to nurse him back to health and make sure hes not concussed.

when jamil wakes up hes so confused because 1.) where is he? 2.) what happened? 3.) why is his mask still on?

you would assume if you get kidnapped by people who want to hurt you, you would have your identity revealed. in rushes azul, who immediately starts fretting over him. checking his forehead, asking if hes okay etc.

jamil just looks at him and asks "why is my mask on?"

and azuls kinda stumped because, why ask that of all questions. he just says "why, is it hurting you? im sorry, i didnt want to force you to reveal yourself to me."

and jamil just melts because thats the kindest thing hes ever heard (he needs therapy and good friends fr)

(jamil is probably really flexible and agile, moving like a cat while azul is just stiff as a board (its okay hes packing heat))

how dare you put this into my head. I love it. (also how did you know about the mafia fic sitting in my drafts.)

Jamil for the asims forcefully, so Azul IS using his spy just to figure out where he’s going. He’s utterly INFATUATED. He’s full on prepared to see him constantly. He HAS a ring on him whenever to propose before people even realize he likes him.

Azul definitely has him on a list of “you do not hurt these people unless YOU want to be hurt. Badly,” so very few people mess with him on his runs. It almost concerns him.

When Jamil IS like, shot, Azul is going absolutely insane. No one except for his men in that room is safe. If Jamil has to leave with a shot everyone else is leaving with something worse.

He’s fretting over him for DAYS. When they get their doctors to treat the bullet wound he is in that operating room as well. Every single second he has is dedicated to staying by Jamil’s side.

When Jamil wakes up he shoots up immediately, which gets Azul to straighten up too. He’s sitting over in the corner and is immediately like “you’re up! Do you feel okay?- don’t- don’t move your arm it’ll just irritate it- do you want anything? Food, water? I can get you whatever you want.”

“Why is this….” As he gestures to the mask on his face.

“Hm? Does it hurt? I didn’t want to force you to reveal yourself but if you need to take it off I can close my eyes-“

Jamil is like. Beyond suprised. What.

He ends up staying around Azul’s base for a while (Azul is definitely like “oh I just want to make sure they don’t put you back to work when you’re still healing) and he doesn’t realize that he was given the second best room in that place. The only reason he didn’t get the first was because Azul couldn’t clear out his own room in time. But best believe, if Jamil even mentioned something like it Azul would be gone and it would be his.

The entire time Azul is trying to PROVE how happy Jamil could be as his husband. He’s full on courting this man. Everyone in his mob is fucking terrified of messing up around him. Azul’s standards are through the roof so everyone else has to be too.

Azul brings him giant bouquets, expensive accessories, even tailored clothing to his exact size. All of the attendants around the house are told to pay attention to what Jamil wants so he can get it without him even asking. Every time Jamil wants to eat he’s getting expensive food, prepared by their best chefs.

and the entire time Jamil wants to resist, but he just… can’t. Over at the asims he WAS a servant, he didn’t get this kind of treatment, and Azul really wore down his walls the moment he woke up.

Once Jamil has fully recovered though, he doesn’t really want to go back. So one day during dinner he’s just like “I’ll marry you.”

“W-what?”

“I Said, I’ll marry you. You’ve proven your point, I like this. And…. It seems fun to have a mob boss wrapped around my finger.”

Azul’s face is fucking burning alive at that point. (He is however, very much like “and I will gladly stay wrapped-) he pulls the ring out of his pocket and slides it over to him.

“You have this on you?”

“I always do-“

#Jamiazu #azujami #twst #twisted wonderland #auauuaghh them #Jamil then becomes the most ruthless mob boss the moment he’s given power

Is it really confirmed by the Rebirth Ultimania that there are multiple timelines as they say through translations or is it a translation hoax ?

No, they're not timelines. It doesn't say timelines.

They're described as "worlds" because let's be honest, the devs don't even know how to describe them without going into a long winded explanation.

If you've watched Doctor Who's episode Turn Left this'll be much easier to understand.

Basically these are all "the choices not taken" by the planet.

Everything that happens, every single person's life from beginning to end is dictated by the planet to enrich its own life.

The planet is also a character and not just a setting. It's always been a character, but people constantly attribute its actions to Aerith because they're morons who think fleas make dogs walk.

The first "world" is our canon world where everyone is going against Sephiroth and Aerith dies and it all links up to AC like Nomura said.

The Yorkie is the first choice the planet discarded. Everything plays out in layers upon itself. They're not accessible to each other because as we saw in Sephiroth's lil speech with Cloud, when those layers merge, the planet screams in pain.

The planet cannot have more than one canon lifeline. It'd be like bursting open its major aorta and expecting it to maintain a circulation still.

It will die. It will very likely go insane and die from all the pain and confusion it's in.

Yeah, so the Yorkie is the first discard, but some elements linger longer than others because they're unresolved and haven't accepted their fate to rejoin the planet. We hear Zack making statements to that effect. Biggs does too for a bit but then before he gets shot he's come to accept he can't change anything, and by the time Zack encourages him again it's too late.

Zack's choices cause further branches because he has accepted his fate, but all of those branches taper off and go nowhere, like tributaries in a river.

The only branch that's different is the one Aerith causes, although we don't actually know where Zack is in that one. He's just described as "gone" and so are Elmyra and Marlene. It's possible the final shot of Zack in the church is the same place Aerith was, but I doubt it matters in the end.

So, yeah, not timelines. Not alternative realities. It's the potential of that untaken choice being played out in some what if subconscious dream layer within the planet. It's like when you imagine what happened if you took another choice. You didn't, but you imagine it happening. That's pretty much what the planet is doing. It's imagining what if, but with the people living on it. It's imagining what if Zack Fair lived? It plays out that scenario within the consciousness of the lifestream, but it doesn't really happen because Zack Fair actually died.

This is why the devs just say different worlds 🤣

Taliesin: so, inigo was it? How did you meet our friend?

Inigo: rather unfortunately I’m afraid. I was high on skooma at the time, I saw a blinding white blur wrapped in fur tumble out of a bush in front of me. I thought it was a bear so I shot it… as it turns out that furry blur was our snow born friend. A few months went by, I had turned myself in to the authorities but nobody believed me. They said I was wasting their time but I needed to repent! I had to repent. So I paid them to keep me in that cell… then one day as I waited for death, he found me, and he remembered me very well. Apparently I was the first sentient thing he saw when he ran from his cave, and well, he wasn’t happy. *snickers* thankfully Kaidan was there to stop him from attacking me because now, we are close friends. I was alone in this world before I met him, now I have so many friends, friends I would consider… family…

Taliesin: you… have no family?…

Inigo: not anymore… my birth mother died saving me and my brother from being sacrificed. My adopted parents were killed protecting a trade caravan… and my brother… He died saving me. We were ambushed by a group of villagers who pinned a string of break ins on us… Fergus, told me to run, and I did… I miss him dearly.

Taliesin: Fergus huh?… he sounded lovely…

Inigo: he was… What of you?… any family my friend?…

Taliesin: yes I… not anymore I suppose… I… I can never go home. I deserted the thalmor, everyone thinks I died in action… If I went back, the shame I’d bring onto my family would make them wish I’d stayed dead… but gods. I miss them… I hate their views on the dominion, they saw me joining the thalmor as a great honour. I saw it as a mistake. But I miss them so much, I even miss bickering with my sisters… *stares at the fire then across the room as Henwen continues setting up to play and earn them some coin with a few songs* I wonder if they mourn for me like you do your brother… The pain it brings my heart just imagining it… I… *sighs*

Inigo: *pats his back* if they loved you, they’ll mourn. A broken heart is a heart that has loved…

Taliesin: that explains why It feels like I’m having a heart attack then h-heh *sniffles a little like he’s trying not to cry* gods I really am alone in this world huh…

Inigo: No you are not. You have us now my friend. *gestures around the room as Henwen starts to play winding up the tavern into a merry mood, a tavern full of faces that had become familiar to the high elf*

Taliesin: *looks around to see Lucien ordering them food at the bar, Kaidan sitting close to Henwen to admire him fondly, Khash and Cary both dancing with one another to the music, his friends, his found family* A motley crew of insane and lonely souls… I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. *smiles*

Hi, Blu! I have a question for you. (I should preface that I'm American, for context.) I'm not a very big fan of guns- i've seen them do too much damage to vulnerable people over here. That said, I do understand that people like you depend on them to do their jobs and feed and defend themselves. I really respect you and your input on this sort of thing, so I was curious- What's your stance on automatic/semi-automatic weaponry? Some people here, right-wingers mostly, say that everyone should own an AK-47 and it's an acceptable firearm to use for home defense and hunting and such. I don't think those things should be used so lightly, if at all- a handgun for defense and a rifle or shotgun for hunting should be more than enough. Plus, I imagine something that powerful would rip, say, a deer to shreds and ruin the meat, but I'm far from an expert on such things.

This is a lot, so I'm going to pick this apart piece-by-piece. (Also, for the record: I was born in America and spent many years here and am currently living here. I'm well aware of what the culture is like pertaining to firearms, since some of that culture has rubbed off on me from my father.)

I'm not a very big fan of guns-

Firstly, we don't use the term "guns" on this blog, just firearms. My experience with guns is limited to air rifles and tranquiliser rifles. My experience with firearms is more extensive.

i've seen them do too much damage to vulnerable people over here.

Yes, firearms are dangerous. They're not toys.

That said, I do understand that people like you depend on them to do their jobs and feed and defend themselves.

You cannot use firearms for self-defence in Australia. You cannot use ANY weapon for self-defence in Australia because it creates a clause of "You left home HOPING for someone to test you." If you are attacked in Australia, be it with fists, knives, or firearms, you are fucked. If you can't defend yourself, you are fucked. The law will not save you. (And we wonder why we have a problem with stabbings.)

What's your stance on automatic/semi-automatic weaponry?

They're neat and I like them. My father owns an M16, rifles, handguns, and a few shotguns--all of which are semiautomatic. I can field strip a Glock 34 (a semiautomatic handgun) in about 10 seconds. In the US I've conceal carried an M1911 and a .38 Colt Detective Special. I've shot an M16 and an M2 Browning, both full auto. If you're coming to me and expecting me to have a disapproving opinion of automatic actions, you're going to be left disappointed.

In the US, you CANNOT OWN A FULLY AUTOMATIC WEAPON without an FFL--a federal firearms licence. Additionally you need a licence from your state of residence to permit you possessing the weapon, which includes a federal background check (already required for ALL FIREARMS PURCHASES in the US) plus fingerprinting. The requirements to get both of these licences are INSANELY difficult. There are very, VERY few people who own fully automatic weapons in the US, and none of them will jeopardise their licences by using their weapons for crime.

Some people here, right-wingers mostly, say that everyone should own an AK-47 and it's an acceptable firearm to use for home defense and hunting and such. I don't think those things should be used so lightly, if at all- a handgun for defense and a rifle or shotgun for hunting should be more than enough.

I'm not even going to acknowledge the bit about "right-wingers." Politics stay off the blog.

Additionally, I'm fairly certain that you're confusing an AR-15 for an AK-47. AK-47s are primarily collector's weapons. They don't see much use outside of "fun to shoot" and are not used for crime because of how few people own them--most are collectors.

If you mean the AR-15 platform, then you're also mistaken because they ARE incredible weapons both for hunting and home defence. They're incredibly adaptable including for people with physical disabilities (who, for example, may not be able to safely grip a handgun or handle the recoil of something like a semiauto shotgun but still should be able to defend themselves with a weapon that's easily braceable against their body, easily accessible and modifiable to their specific needs, and also semiautomatic so that all they have to do is take off the safety and pull the trigger).

A bolt-action rifle takes time to cycle the bolt. I'm a professional shooter and I keep my rounds topped off. The time it takes me to eject the bolt, reload, and send the bolt forward again to chamber a round is about 2 seconds but might take longer under the duress that someone would be experiencing when their life is actively in danger.

The majority of weapons crime in the US is done with illegally obtained firearms--primarily handguns, most of which are purchased off the black market or stolen. Currently every firearm purchase in the US requires a federal background check before it can be given to the buyer. In some states there's a waiting period (which studies have shown has done nothing to damper firearms crime). It's not lawfully abiding citizens going out there and committing mass shootings--it's a mentally ill culture that values clout over life, and a media that makes killers famous.

Plus, I imagine something that powerful would rip, say, a deer to shreds and ruin the meat, but I'm far from an expert on such things.

My parting words are an image. Here's a comparison of ammunition sizes. I shoot .30-06 Springfield. The AR-15 platform shoots 5.56x45, the AK-47 shoots 7.62x39.

My rifle will do far more traumatic damage to a deer--or a person--than an AR-15 or AK-47 ever would.

But AR-15s are great for shooting pigs.

i wanna ask your opinion on the tintin movie! personally it's one of my favorite films but it also has a distinctly different vibe from the comics, i'm curious what you think of it

oooh the 2011 film... I think it's a lot of fun! The pacing is absolutely insane, the plot just plows through like a speeding train. I remember enjoying how they managed to weave several stories together into one coherent plot. The voice cast is my favourite, everyone basically sounds like how I imagined them in my head, even Mrs Finch!

I did a quick little study of him, rest of my “review” is under the Read More. As usual I have Many Thoughts

It's a film I enjoy with my brain turned off, my main gripe with the film is how Tintin never really has to make any difficult decisions. When Sakharine demands Tintin to choose between Haddock’s life or the scrolls, Haddock is just... pushed into the water before he even does anything?

also Haddock finding Castafiore attractive is just... weird

"What a dish!"

Every bone in my body just knows Steven Moffat wrote that in, he's ruined Sherlock Holmes, Doctor Who, Jekyll and Hyde and Dracula... why do we keep letting him do this

I'm not mad about the CGI motion capture - it's aged surprisingly well and the film utilises the strengths of CGI animation effectively - lot of the camera work and really cool scene transitions would have been incredibly difficult with 2D animation or impossible with live action.

Not to mention that incredible one shot chase scene through a fully modelled city, complete with dust and water simulations... I can hear a render farm exploding in the distance

I actually think Tintin himself looks far too normal, the guy has an egg head and a receding hairline. they gave him cheekbones and a chin. hollywood is not ready for him

in conclusion, professor calculus wasn't in the film so i give it a -2.5/10

Flowers of Insanity / LAS / EFoT ✶

Aqua Hoshino x Reader

This is PART TWO, check out the other parts below!

REQUIEM: Sixth New Genesis

What's to come: [Lovenow], [Aqua Hoshino x Reader], [Akane Kurokawa plot points], [Reader likes both genders], & [mentions of suicide (Akane)]

[Songs of the chapter: "Marshmary" by MIMI, "Nonbreath Oblige" by PinnocchioP, "I hope you can be an adult someday" by TUYU]

[5,937 words]

˚⋆୨ ✶ ୧⋆˚

All the time you spent with Eruru Osawa made her remind you more of Hanae, but soon you realized they were nothing alike. They were both kind to you, but that was pretty much it. You soon found out that her family business was one in the entertainment industry, if you squint. Her family owns a somewhat-famous original amusement park here in Japan. You'd really like to go there with her one day.

Aquamarine Hoshino on the other hand was a lot harder to grasp because unlike Eruru, he doesn't speak as much, and he doesn't say what's on his mind either. What you find special about him though are his eyes, it's one just like Ai's... he must be really special. You don't think you've ever gotten close to anyone like him before, so you don't know what to expect from him.

You heard that he's an actor, he appeared in a Drama, an adaptation for a hit manga. Not that you've read it before though, romance never tingled your brain as much as an action pact filled one did. However, you kept seeing horrible reviews about the Drama on social media, so you decided to give it a watch.

Yeah, it sucked ass. Though, the last episode really shot the ratings up. That was the episode Aqua was in, it was kind of hot. The girl was quite a good actor as well, you felt bad for her throughout the entire Drama because you felt like her talent was being wasted away. Come to think of it, you saw that girl talking to Aqua before, so she might also be attending this school, interesting.

No matter what happens though, whenever you see Aqua, or hear anyone mention him, images of Ai flash into your brain. You know it's not probable for him to be anywhat related to her, but it's fun to see that her life still lives on in your head years after she passed away. You did wish for her eyes after all.

This year, you've already made two whole friends, maybe you'd have more if you considered people your friends other than acquaintances more easily, not that that's ever going to happen.

You spend most of my time at school on your phone, which sounds bad and anti-social, and it is. Most of Eruru's time is spent socializing with every person imaginable, and if she's talking to everyone, she's talking to everyone but you. Aqua on the other hand barely shows up to class, you saw him hanging around a girl who looked exactly like him though. A sibling relationship in school, that's cute.

That's okay with you, you don't need friends to survive until March 9th or find Hanae— Well, maybe you do need connections to find her again, but you doubt anyone here would know her, but then...

That's when you met someone special!

Matsuyo Mochizuki. He has the same last name as Hanae, so you should get closer to him to get more information out of him. Then again, the surnames of this world don't mean that they are inherently related but... you could still try. After all, Hanae did live in Tokyo back then, and we're in Tokyo right now. Maybe Matusyo is her... cousin?

He's really quiet, he first entered Yoto High School a few weeks later than the average student, he skips school all the time, and when he does show up, he's never on time. His hair is dark and short, but at some points, it's long... how strange, almost like he cuts his own hair. His eyes were like the opposite of mine, dark and darker. Not a single shine of light was seen in them. Oh, and his teeth. They're quite special too, he had sharp teeth all over, not just his canines.

He's not ugly though, you could most definitely use him to find her. Your stars darkened as you hid your smile with your right hand, your eyes shut as you started planning. You could feel Aqua staring again. Awkward. You opened them soon after, giving the boy next to you a quick glance, you locked eyes. He looked away quickly, do you have that kind of power with these eyes now? Your smile widens as you quietly giggle to yourself.

*"★Hi there, my name is [name] [last-name]. What's yours?" You ask as you smile, giving him a hand. He didn't respond. "Hehe, that's okay. I'll just stay here until you talk to me!" The anxiety that usually grew in my stomach has gotten smaller and smaller throughout your experience in high school. You guess that Eruru is really starting to rub off on you.

"C'mon, Matsuyo Mochizuki, I totally just lied. I already know your name, just talk to me! You look lonely.★" I lean on my hand, "You can't be silent forever!~"

*Aqua's eyes widened, he's staring at you again. 'Have you always acted this way?' His eyes didn't make you feel uncomfortable this time, you kind of felt like a star, Matsuyo on the other hand still hasn't said anything to you.

"...What do you want from me?" Matsuyo sighed, his dark eyes glaring deep into your soul. You close your eyes to get away, but keep a smile on your face. He's going to be a hard one to crack.

˚⋆୨ ✶ ୧⋆˚

You really do want to sound cool and everything, but you don't really know what to expect from anyone. That's why you were a shut-in. So, when you were invited to do a reality TV show, you were shocked.

Why would they need a faceless internet celebrity? Then the thoughts connected. Ah yes, your follower count. That would boost their ratings, wouldn't it? However, this show doesn't suit you at all.

Lovenow?

Another romance show? What would you even gain from this other than maybe a slip of the unwanted reveal of your face? You went over it all with the managers you hired for yourself to discuss the pros and cons. They came to the conclusion of 'If you join, it may boost your views by growing connections with the other members and their fans.'

Therefore, you sent the producers a message that reads something along the lines of "I'll join your show if and only if you sign this contract stating that you will never release my true identity to the public and blur my face in all the scenes I'm in."

It took a while for them to read the full contract, but they allowed it, making himself and all the other workers sign as well. You were happy with the product, but took extra precautions by *wearing a mask at all times.

˚⋆୨ ✶ ୧⋆˚

Today is the first day of filming for 'Lovenow', you wouldn't have guessed who showed up on set, Aquamarine Hoshino. Of course he didn't know it was you behind this cute [animal] mask of yours, and there's no way he'd know it's you from your voice since you haven't spoken yet... you decided to change your voice and tone to how you usually do when you stream.

Not to mention that you came extra early on set for someone on the makeup team to style your hair in a way you could never do on your own, plus you requested they add colorful highlights to show off the person you are on the inside! You've never felt prettier. You gave yourself so much personality with the way you looked, even your mask had colorful stickers on it.

The school uniform you were wearing was a lot more dull than the ones they had you wear in Yoto High School, but it still looked quite cute on you. Your new coworkers are all really cute as well!

The hit internet celebrity Memcho, 18, the new star Yuki Sumi, 16, the special dancer Nobuyuki Kumano, 17, the guitarist of a band Kengo Morimoto, 17, Aqua Hoshino, 16, and this other really pretty girl... Akane Kurokawa, 17.

Out of everyone in the cast, Akane was the girl who caught your eye. She's beautiful. Her hair falls to her shoulders, you think that if you wanted to get a partner out of this show, you'd choose her. Your plan for this is that you'll play along with the rest of the cast for entertainment, and then sit on the sidelines when people start confessing their 'feelings' for one another.

You watch as the first scene starts playing out, people walk into an empty classroom and start introducing themselves to each other, but most importantly, they're introducing themselves to the cameras set all over the classroom. Aqua goes right before you, from the way you're seeing this, he's acting like a more piped up version of the one you interact with at school.

You took a deep breath as you walked into the classroom, all eyes were on you, including the crews. With a slightly higher tone than you usually speak in, words start to leave your mouth, *"✧Hi everyone, my name is [alias], it's a pleasure to meet you!" you clap your hands together as you smile behind your mask.

"Woah! [alias]? Really?" Memcho bursts out, "I didn't know you were a highschooler!" She grinned as she put a finger to her chin, "We should totally collab together on my channel sometime!"

"Hmm... I've heard of you before," The band member pulled his phone out, "W-Wait..! You have over a-"

"A million!?" Yoto screamed out, "What in the world?! That's so cool!! I can't believe that I'm sitting next to a real celebrity!"

"Woah, calm down! You all are celebrities too!✧" You laugh as you sit down in a chair next to the rest of them, I rest my head on my hand, "Well, I saw that you played someone in 'I'll have it Sweet Today', Aqua!"

"Yeah, I sure did. It was only for one episode though." Aqua stared straight into your masks eyes, you sweat, does he know that you're...??

"Well because of that one episode, you single handedly lifted up that show to success!" Nouyuki grinned, you could tell that he's going to be a popular fan choice.

-End of Flowers_of_Insanity

After a few weeks of filming, you noticed the cast's quirks. Akane spends more of her time with the crew than the actual people on the screen, and she always has a notepad with her. Yoto and Nouyuki are the actual romance in Lovenow, and it really looks like they have something going on together. You and Memcho are more of the comedy relief of the show, it must be something about hanging around on the internet for so long. Last but not least, Kengo and Aqua tend to hang out on their own. You felt bad that you didn't talk to Aqua more often since the two of you were friends in real life, but you suppose it's better to keep a low profile.

It's so nice to meet all these people. To your suprise, they're all genuine and kind, even if some of it's an act. Even though it's only been a month of recording, you feel that you've really grown to connect with these people. Each episode focuses on one person in particular, so when it landed on you for the second time, you dropped the mask for the first time in front of the cast and the cast only, but the camera didn't know that you were wearing another mask underneath.

The reactions from the cast were nothing to laugh at, compliments were thrown at you, words couldn't describe it other than a little phony, but in a good way. Honestly, you didn't feel much for it, but after that episode aired, the fans seemed to have loved it. Though, there were a lot of people on Twitter and a few blogs asking your co-stars to reveal your face to them, but they had nothing to say to those people, you felt really grateful for that.

There were a lot of events that happened during the show to keep things spicy, you think that the producers really want you to end up with someone here because they made you and Kengo play together for a mini concert. It was one of your original songs, but they still had to make a deal and pay you to use it, oh, and Kengo had to learn the music in very a short amount of time. It really made you look up to him, so whatever the producers are trying to do is working, but Akane still owns your heart.

Speaking of, you've been trying to talk to her, but she's been so focused on other things. Almost like she's been having a tough time, "Hey Akane, are you feeling alright?"

"Hm! Oh... [alias], I'm doing okay... I just..." Akane sighed, sitting down at the table next to her, "I need to stand out more, I've been on the sidelines for this entire show and... I think that people are starting to forget who I am." She hid her face in her arms.

"No way!! No one would forget a face as beautiful as yours!" You shout unexpectedly, a little too loud, cameras start rolling, "I- What I mean is... all you have to do is apply yourself some more, let loose!☆" You grab her hands and hold them warmly, "And whatever you do, I swear I'll follow."

"W-wha... [alias]..." Akane's face grew red, "t-thank you."

˚⋆୨ ✶ ୧⋆˚

Akane acted differently today while on set, she was putting herself out there more often, but it didn't really scream at her. It was an awful experience to watch, but you didn't want to pop her bubble by pushing yourself too far into her business.

She was trying to make a role for herself by trying to separate Yuki from Kengo and that dancer guy, but of course, Yuki was still fighting back.

"Oh? Looks like Akane's finally playing her cards!" Memcho said, leaning against the rooftops railing, "I saw her talking to you the other day, [alias], d'ya know anything about it?"

"Hm? Oh, well I did hear her talk about needing to stick out to the fans more, but I don't know if this is the best suit for her. I mean, maybe if she started a other side love story it'd be cute but...★" You mumble, you didn't know what you were really talking about. 'Side love story', what a joke! The only other people available were you and Aqua.

"Hmmm? What does that mean, [alias-nickname]?~ Do you like Akane Kurokawa?~" Memcho giggles, as she smirks and punches my arms gently, "What about you, Aqua, do you think that [alias] and Aka-nene would end up looking good together?"

"Ah well, I wouldn't say I'm against it in any way... I suppose the two of you would end up looking cute together." Aqua forced out a chuckle as you stare at the both of them, deadpanned, though they couldn't see it, "But if that did happen, there wouldn't be anyone left for me."

"Hey! I'm still here ya know!" Memcho screeched out, grabbing Aqua's shoulders in a playful manner, you point and laugh for the camera you just noticed.

"★Me and Akane..." you turn around to look at Akane talking to Kengo and sigh, "Well if she likes me then I guess I'll like her back." You turned back around to Memcho and Aqua, you don't think they actually listened to what you said, but you're sure that the camera did. "☆What about you, Aqua? Who do you like?"

"Oh." Memcho stops attacking Aqua to listen for his answer, Aqua looks around before opening his mouth again, "I guess you could say that I like..." Aqua looked at you before smiling again, "Nah, it's a secret."

"WHAAAT!!? No way! You can't just say that! You have to tell us!! Or at least, you should come and tell me! Whisper it into my ear!!" Memcho whined as she began pulling at Aqua's uniform begging him to spill his secret, "Please please please please! [alias] told us!"

"[alias] barely said anything, all you did was mention Akane. They didn't even say anything about liking her back" Aqua sighed, his hand on Memcho's face, trying his best to push her away, "Plus, you haven't told us who you like either."

"Well all of you are too young for me! I'm 18, and all you younglings are just too much like babies compared to me! Especially you two, y'all are 16 still, aren't you?" Memcho asked. You and Aqua agree simultaneously, "See! Ah, and if I were to get into a relationship, it would totally mess up my streams, I think."

"Well I'm with you there, being an internet celebrity does have its downsides." You laugh, "But Aqua, you should totally tell me who you like! Don't worry, ☆I'm great at keeping secrets~"

"No way." Aqua sighed, keeping both me and Memcho away from him simultaneously, I laughed some more. I guess Aqua can be more cute and chill when he's outside of school, though it's probably not genuine at all.

˚⋆୨ ✶ ୧⋆˚

Last night, Yuki did your nails. She made yours really pretty, they had two colors, [color] and black with these shiny gems or what not. While Yuki was working on your nails you had a talk with Akane. You gave her your suggestion of trying to make a side plot love story instead of trying to push herself into one that already existed. You tried my best to convince her, even Yuki chimed in at some point, but to no avail. She was dead set on doing it this way.

"Well, it's game on then." Yuki smiled, focusing her attention on Akane's nails this time, "Give it your all, Akane. 'Cuz I won't be holding back at all!"

"Yeah." Akane smiled back, "Let's make this fair."

Fair, what a fun word. The world is never fair, and it shows. You saw it with your very own two eyes, the scene was set, Akane didn't mean to hurt Yuki at all-

So why was this happening to her?

Akane accidentally scraped Yuki's cheek with the nails that Yuki made her the other night. The media started to swarm against her. You saw that too, you even got questions from strangers on the internet yelling at you, asking for more information on it, though as per contract, you weren't allowed to say anything. Not a word, not even in her defense.

Akane didn't show up for the next few days of filming, you couldn't feel anything but dread for the days she didn't talk to the group. Even during school, you couldn't focus on anything else. Aqua looked fine, you really hoped he didn't notice your paranoia.

Then the calendar marked a faithful day other than March 9th, the day when a hurricane warning popped up on everyone's screens. The day Akane sent a message for the first time in days in the Lovenow group chat.

'I'm going to go out to get a few snacks from the convenience store.'

Yuki: 'Right now?? Akane! Don't go!'

Memcho: 'Akane there's a hurricane coming out.'

Kengo: 'Akane pick up your phone'

Nobuyuki: 'Akane are you home?'

Aqua: 'Akane?'

You audibly wince as you grab a thin jacket from your closet and run out of your apartment. Even though Akane wasn't answering any text messages or calls, she still had her location finder on her phone. You followed it as fast and as accurately as you could. Luckily for you, it wasn't too far away from where your apartment was.

It led you to a bridge... a bridge?

Then you saw the figure, you weren't sure if it was Akane, all you knew was that they were standing on the ledge, arms spread. You couldn't think, you ran as fast as you could. It was later than what you would've wanted to though, the figure had already jumped. You grabbed them, their body was still in the air, a little heavier than what you'd normally be able to carry, but the thrill was driving you on.

"No! No! Let go of me, please, just let me die!" The voice screamed, squirming her body around to get away from my grasp. It was Akane. Your eyes widened as the rain continued to pour down on the two of you.

"Akane! Listen to me! It's me, it's me, [alias]!" You yell out, grabbing her tighter, trying your best to pull her back onto the bridge.

"[alias]..? Just listen to me, let go... save yourself. You don't want to be seen with someone like me." Akane sobs out some more, "Let go [alias]!"

"No! Akane, stop fighting me! J-Just let me pull you up!" You start to tear up as well, your grip loosens as you get pulled over the edge. The only thing holding you up was the ledge Akane had just recently just jumped off from and your horrible back strength which was slowly dying out.

Before you could fall, however, someone from behind pulled both you and Akane back. You winced, the force of your body falling onto the concrete floor with Akane on top of you filled your body with a sharp and stinging pain. Though, it probably didn't hurt as much as the pain as the person underneath the two of you felt.

Akane turned around into your chest, sobbing. You comfort her to the best of your ability but start sobbing with her at some point. You didn't bother to look at the person sitting next to you, from the slight tone of his huffs you could tell that it was Aqua. The fact that you weren't wearing your mask formed a bubble of worry in your head, yet you hoped it was too dark so that nobody could make out who you were.

Your vision was blurry from the tears you were shedding. You stroke her head as you whisper to her about how everything'll be alright.

"...Who?" You were right, it was Aqua.

You try to cover your face with your hand as you quickly look away. Pulling the collar of your top over your nose, you then even tried to position Akane to cover yourself, even though you knew it was incredibly uncomfortable for the both of you

"[name], is that you?" Aqua repeats himself, this time, he gets closer.

"What? [name]? N-never heard of whoever that is before, nope! Not at all..." You stutter out, it's of no use anyway, he knew you were there. All you could hope was that no one else would find out.

"[alias], you got here before me?" Aqua asked.

"..." You couldn't say anything, not anything you'd admit to at least. Aqua should have never found out.

Another loud pair of footsteps ran over towards us, before they fully got to the three of you, Aqua covered you and Akane with his rain jacket. Your face grew red.

-End of Looking_All_Sad

It wasn't long before the rest of Lovenow's cast showed up, however, the first person to show up was Akane's mother. Aqua caught her all up on what happened as you sat back and watched as everything unfolded before you. The last people to show up was, who you guessed were, Aqua's mom and mother.

No one came for you though, not that you minded too much—

"Aqua! Isn't that your rain jacket?" A girl with sparkling red eyes asked as she pointed directly at you.

"Ah that's..."

"Is that the person you're going to end up with at the end of Lovenow?!" She giggled as she punched his arm, Aqua let out a disgruntled curse in response. You laugh at their antics.

Soon Akane left the room, walking out with her mother. She looked at you with her puffy eyes as she left the building. Not before Yuki ran her way towards Akane and slapped her directly across the face, you gasp and you clench your hands that lie on your lap. She was crying too, crying as she rested her head against Akane's shoulders sobbing as her yells turned into quiet murmurs.

The room fell silent when Akane officially left the building. Aqua's mom sighed and patted his back as she left with her daughter, telling him to "stay safe", how cute!

Right, Akane. This is a problem. You and the rest of the cast know that she really didn't mean any harm, however, people online don't. How could you fix this? A million thoughts ran around in your head. Aqua suggested that for Akane's safety she could leave Lovenow as a whole. Which is a viable option, but she shouldn't have to quit something she enjoys just because of strangers on the internet.

One by one, the people crowded in the hallway slipped out and went back home. Again, leaving only you and Aqua together. You thought about giving him his raincoat back, you wouldn't really need it anymore if he was the only one left. You were already found out. You bit your bottom lip before you spoke, but no words slipped past your lips.

"So you're [name]?" Aqua asked, turning back to look at your sweating figure, he didn't need to say your name out load again.

"Don't say it so loud! And... yeah. I am, uhm. Sorry you had to find out this way..?" You murmur, the hood was still covering your face, you liked that. It made you feel like you still had a barrier between your persona and the real you, even if you still felt phony

"Were you ever going to tell me?" Aqua slowly got closer to you. Weird.

"Why would I do that? It's totally unprofessional..! And... and...!" Why was he so close?? "You shouldn't even focus on this at all, what you— what we should be focusing on is to help Akane!"

"Right. Akane. The internet is horrible, not to mention that this show is just..." Aqua continued to mutter on and on about the recent news and the media's reactions. You zoned out for the most of it, "Reality TV... Ah, what about this?"

"Huh?"

"We're going to make a video to save her, real reality TV."

The media caught onto Akane's attempt at taking her life and went on a roll with it, word spread around like wildfire. Whether it be people talking about how this was just a sleazy attempt to get attention, people feeling sorry and making apologies, or what their opinions are about the situation. People just didn't shut up. Not to mention, Akane's taking a break from Lovenow until who knows when. There isn't anyone else to really look at other than her, Aqua's there but it's just uncomfortable now that he knows who you really are.

On the bright side, the video's production is going well. All of the cast members opted to help. For example: Memcho tried teaching Aqua more about Social Media and how to get people's attention quickly and Kengo offered background music with his guitar. You also offered music from a band you had connections with, 2You, and your voice as vocals. Aqua didn't mind, in fact, he appreciated it. To what you could tell at least.

The last, and more important, part of the plan is getting unused recordings from Lovenow's staff members. There wasn't anything you could do, it was all Aqua. He had the brains to figure something out, weasel his way to get the information out of the producer.

You kept trying to contact Akane, half of the time she didn't respond, she hasn't been going to school either. You threw your phone across the room and groaned into your bedsheets. All the pent up worry hasn't been doing too good for you, you barely show up to your classes either. Which as a consequence means your *relationship points with your classmates have slowly been decreasing ever so slightly, besides Aqua.

Eruru texts you ever so often about school events, you respond fairly quickly, but that's as far as it gets. You miss being around people again, not to mention you've been on hiatus for all streaming activities until you say otherwise. Matsuyo doesn't even try to reach out to you, which is a major bummer. You wonder how he's doing, you wonder how Hanae is doing. At this point, that's the only thing keeping you going besides Akane's well being.

Matsuyo Mochizuki, there's this slight chance that they could be related. You will stand strong and make sure you see her again in this life, even if you don't have much time left—

Beep!

"Hm...?" You wander to your phone, a new notification, this time it was from Aqua. You sigh as you open your phone. He's the only one who's actively talking to you. The other members in Lovenow didn't know you haven't been showing up to your classes, you're really grateful for that. Though whenever he does text you, it never brings you any joy. It's usually about something negative. Maybe it'll be different this time?

The text read: "Get ready and come to my place, everyone else is already here." You thought it was funny how Aqua talks all professionally even when it's through a text.

Quickly putting a hoodie on with sunglasses and a mask to hide your identity, you rush over to Aqua's place...

His place... where does he live again?

˚⋆୨ ✶ ୧⋆˚

You rushed over to find that all the other cast members of Lovenow were huddled in front of a screen with, you can only assume, Aqua in the middle. They didn't notice your entrance so you carefully walked over to see what it was all about. The video. Right, that's what this was all about. Aqua looked as if he was on the verge of death as he compiled pictures and videos of all of Lovenow's time together. The video, so far, was very nice. Like eye candy!

"Hm? Oh! [name] is here!!" Memcho brightly said after turning around, "Your aura reminds me of Aqutan! Dead! What have you been up to?"

"Nothing other than worrying to death about Akane." You sigh, putting your hand to your face, "Why did you call me here, Aqua?"

"Because I'm worried about you too. Everyone else here can tell that you look horrible" Aqua murmured, not looking away from his screen. That pissed you off, how could he say you looked horrible if he hadn't even glanced in your direction?? Before you could verbally react, Yuki had already punched him in the back, causing Aqua to bite his tongue, "And the plan is almost done."

"What Aqua's trying to say is that he wants everyone from Lovenow to be here when the video is all done!" Memcho says, clasping her hands together and smiling. You smile back under your mask, Akane will finally be free!

"Well? When are you gonna be finished, Aqua?" One of the boys asked.

"I'll finish quicker if you guys stop bothering me." Aqua murmured, to giggle to yourself about Aqua's comment.

"Well you heard him! Get out.★" You took your sunglasses off and glared at them, "I know he wants you here when he's all done, but saving Akane faster means no distractions!" You placed your sunglasses in your pocket as you watched all four of them slowly leave the office. You turned your head to look at Aqua's screen. He's so close... just a little more and Akane will get to show her face to the public again.

Half an hour of silence and hard clicks on the mouse, Aqua was still glued onto the screen. A few more dragging from his mouth passed by before he opened his mouth again, "Bring the others in."

You ran over and hugged him tight, "Thank you so much for doing this for her." You let go just as quickly as you latched onto him and skipped out the the room to go and get the others back. As you re-opened the door, Yuki rushed in before you could say anything.

"So?! Are you ready to post it??" She asks impatiently, holding onto her sweater tight.

"It's prime time to post it right now actually, my data shows that tons of people are online right now!" Memcho chimes in, pointing to a poorly drawn graph on her phone.

"Mm, yeah." Aqua mutters, "This has to work..."

"It better!" You say, bouncing on the back of Aqua's chair, waiting for him to finally click the export button.

"C'mon man, don't keep us waiting!" One of the boys said, putting their hand on Yuki's shoulder. With an annoyed sigh, Aqua clicked the export button while you hovered over him. When the final pixel reached the end of the loading bar, Aqua switched tabs and opened a popular blog site.

"Let's go Aqua! When I said it was prime time, I meant it! It only lasts a little white, so post it already!!" Memcho shouted, hurling herself on top of you, which consequently meant she hurled herself on top of Aqua. With one glance towards your masked face, Aqua added the professionally made video with a caption and finally clicked post.

With impatient eyes, everyone stared at the screen before them, waiting for the numbers to roll in. Did it not work? Why isn't anything happening? Aqua worked so hard— before another cruel thought entered your head, Aqua refreshed and the likes and comments started to bombard his inbox.

A few minutes passed as the cast watched in shock as everyone's opinions started to morph something in the favor of Akane. You were ecstatic that it worked, rushing over to grab your phone off the desk to check the post itself and to message Akane about it. The girls started jumping around with joy, the boys joined them after some time for the celebration while Aqua's head hit his desk in exhaustion. You slowly put your phone back down and laid your jacket on Aqua just as he did for you. Crouching down to be at eye level with him, you tell him thank you right before you call it a night and go back home.

You slipped past the *crowd of people with a smile on your face and went down the stairwell, but before you could make it out, you saw the same girl as you did the other day. The one that looked exactly like Aqua, she seemed to be in her pajamas and was quite caught off guard when she saw you.

"Ah!! You! It's you! [alias]!" The blonde, in what seemed like a millisecond, ran towards you, her face barely an inch away from yours. *"Ohmigosh, what's it like in Lovenow?! What do you think of my brother? Are you guys going to become a couple?!! How is Akane!?"

"☆Oh, uhm... Akane is... she's going to be okay. And Aqua is a really nice guy! He's done a lot for Akane and I'm really grateful for that." The girl in front of you asked a few more questions before you got the chance to slip off and excuse yourself to go back home.

Lets talk about the Jimbocho book haul! This was a vacation, not a research trip or anything, so I didn't have set goals - instead I just explored and found things that looked interesting or were attached to my interests and seemed “cool” to own. And that strategy worked surprisingly well:

I will as always highlight just a few of them - if you want me to deep dive one of them, shoot me a message. First up we have the "Erotic Newspaper '97 Highlights", a completely-out-of-nowhere find.

Which right out the gate, really pushing my limits here on the "getting banned" front; I don't even know the rules anymore. Made by the circle 児童販売鬼/Juvenile Sales Demon (!), it is this style of “doujin omnibus” that was decently common in the earlier areas and is sometimes still made today; blending essays, personal rants, art, and full comics, often even on to the same page. And of course, this is about ero-doujin, so that blend gets pretty intense sometimes!

But as an “anime fandom “ researcher documents like these are absolute gold mines. The opening page discusses the late 90’s “bubble” in ero-doujin publications, possible legislative action against hentai being discussed that everyone is worried about, and even has that classic otaku identity tic of politicizing their own identity, mentioning a “Rights for Eromanga!” slogan going around (which it cautions against). It seems like a great biased-but-expansive view of the state-of-play in eromanga circles at the time, which few other documents can give you. Primary sources, baby.

Additionally, amoung its topics it has some sections about Evangelion:

And even a section on Utena:

Yeah that entire bottom corner's just... it just has got to go. I am unsure if this is something I will ever scan - its really niche, and being a porn archivist is not really my goal. But I hope to do a full read and post a summary someday.

Next up in a similar vein, I have a copy of Fanroad Magazine from 1996!

Fanroad Magazine was similar to the Comic Box magazine I have discussed before, in that it collected art & essays from fans about the shows of the day and gave them a place for their voice to be heard. Before the internet this was the only real way to do that en masse; by the 2000’s these magazines would almost all die out as social media replaced them. Fanroad was one of the most popular, having highly structured sections, detailed questionnaires for submitters, in-jokes, the works. And of course this edition was a bit of a targeted buy, as the cover surely gives away - Fanroad released a few issues focused on Evangelion, and this is one of them:

I might scan this one, but first I will give it a read and see how interesting the takes are - it had so much cute fan art though, valuable for that alone.

Next up is a very quick and personal one: Comic Cue Vol 4. Which…what even is this, I imagine you are thinking:

Comic Cue was an off-beat one-shot manga anthology magazine that ran through the 90’s into the 2000's, often focusing, not on hentai, but that middle-ground “erotically charged” narrative stories or comedy shots. Its covers were often just insane - no clue why this cover is in English, none of the magazine is. This one is of interest to me, however, because amoung Volume 4’s submissions is:

Yoshiyuki Sadamoto’s Dirty Work one-shot. Yep, thats right, from the random-deep dive essay I put together analyzing a single line of dialogue Sadamoto wrote for Mamimi in FLCL. Now I own the fucker. That's cool! I like that. I am really proud of that essay due to how much I learned from it, writing about a topic whose specificity seemed like it would be impossible to get that much out of; so owning the actual manga is it centered on feels special.

Speaking of niche Ash-writing references!

We have “Girl’s Life on the Flat Battlefield”, the Kyoko Okazaki Artbook made for an exhibit done on her back in 2015, the cover of which I featured in my essay about the proper translation of “battlefield” from River’s Edge. This is an amazing book in its own right though - its content is so diverse. It has essays from her and from other writers about her work that I hope to read. It has beautiful art compositions and solo pieces:

It has recreations of the actual drafts of her manga as she made them - showcasing things like how she would type up the dialogue and cut-and-paste the printed text into the bubbles, the normal way that was done in the pre-digital composition era:

It has this one section by a contributing artist of photographs of “otaku edgy women” and stuff, amazing documentary work:

I see you, Gunbuster figurine on the table! This is probably the best book-as-a-book I found; I highly recommend it to any Kyoko Okazaki fan for the depth of coverage it has on both her work and the context of her work.

You can see some others of course - I found a few copies of magazines like Newtype and Animage from when they covered FLCL! I would like the Catch Them All - these are all generally scanned & archived already of course, so its just for fun. You can see another book on Okazaki, a really cool academic book on the history of magazines and fanzines in Japanese subculture, and the Gothic & Lolita Bibles that Partner is quite excited about. I am very happy with what I found; there is a beauty in the serendipity of these things. Of course I could have searched Yahoo Auctions for a copy of the Okazaki book, I knew exactly what it was. But stumbling on it in a floor-level cubby while my hands were already stacked with magazines and nearly dropping them in surprise is the magic of the physical bookstore in its fullness. It has its own value that the book itself can’t possess.

Challenge question: blue lock or haikyuu? You can only chose one.

Haikyuu, hands down. It's not even a real competition, I'm sorry 😂

Haikyuu has solid writing, stellar characterization, cool character arcs, interesting dynamics between players, unconventional rivalries and friendships, and the dynamics of the matches themselves feel realistic and believable. It's never over the top, and even when there are genius characters, their skill is often backed up by a convincing background / reasoning. Take Ushiwaka. He's a powerhouse because he's a leftie and most players aren't used to facing his leftie shots, plus he has a whole team is catered towards him and making him score as many points as possible, so he was encouraged to make his spikes even more powerful. Or take Kageyama, whose genius is half natural talent, but mostly just the fact that he's been playing since he was a small child and always observing other people's talent. When you compare that to bllk, where geniuses are just... Born monsters... I def prefer Haikyuu. Like. I love Nagi but he's been slacking off all his life. He shouldn't have muscles, let alone have that insane athleticism that lets him do that quick as lightning trap-shot with his back to the net. What the heck did Reo feed him while he was cultivating his talent? Steroids? Lmao

I think the one thing bllk has over hq is the art. Furudate's style is... An acquired taste, but Nomura's is gorgeous and so very expressive too. Even the dynamic scenes are never confusing, and there's something about Nomura's panel composition that gets me hella hyped even as someone who literally hates soccer irl lol. Whereas with haikyuu I often had to pause and/or go back and reread certain scenes to process the action and imagine it fluidly. Bllk doesn't have this problem for me at all.

But in terms of overall writing, I think bllk is quite lacking in comparison. Haikyuu has an enormous cast and none of the characters feel like funny bits, unlike bllk where more than half of the characters aren't fleshed out past that one "funny" trait. The soccer itself is fine, it's entertaining, but the plays are catered more towards sensationalism and "wowing" the reader in comparison to haikyuu, where a lot of the time you couldn't tell which team was going to win before the match even started. In blue lock it's always the same guys who get to score, and everyone else is an accessory to get there, so it's a bit predictable imho. Haikyuu was more balanced there imho, and it had a much wider cast.

Now, don't take me wrong, I love both series but I approached them with different expectations and I like them for different things. Haikyuu was the best sports animanga I've ever followed, and it had some of the best characters I've ever read about. Bllk is a more lighthearted read for me, and I mostly read it because it amuses me. The writing in blue lock isn't super deep, the themes are simple and the conflicts aren't super high stakes, which is refreshing after the letdown that was bnha for me at the end. So I find it a fun manga if you don't expect it to be a masterpiece. Ironically even if the writing is pretty simplistic, I've written more metaish thoughts on bllk than I ever did for hq, so both series had a pull on me, although different

I'm going to clean up this post later but i just don't wanna forget it so I'm leaving it here

splatoon agent oc spamposting (lengthy and unorganized edition)

"Three" (Agent 3/Captain 3) [they/them]

- I've seen people give Three some of the most batshit insane backstories imaginable and 90% of them are dumb.

- Three was just some bloke who caught wind of some fun new underground sport and moved to the city to get in on that action.

- They ran into Cuttlefish soon after moving to the city, and well, the rest is history.

- Before devoting most of their time to agent work in Splatoon 2, they spent most of their time grinding ranked battles. They never joined a team or anything of the sort, which they eventually did end up regretting.

- Splat2/Octo Expansion happens almost exactly as it does in canon, but i think the sanitization scar is dope as hell so I'm stealing that idea. also they were hospitalized for a bit after that whole debacle

- After recovering from the hospital, it took a while for them to grapple with the consequences of their actions (inadvertently participating in the subjugation of a minority race), and they'd truly never been the same since.

- Their relationship with Agent 8 is complicated. They tolerate Four and used to hang out more often, but have since grown apart. Their closest friends are the Squid Sisters. They still hold immense respect for Cuttlefish.

- they used to be more expressive and lively in their youth, but these days they rarely emote or communicate at all. their voice is hoarse from lack of use and often texts people to communicate (i.e. Moeka, Steins Gate).

- their injuries from years of agent work have caused several permanent injuries, and they often use a cane to get around, not unlike Cuttlefish.

- Misc: favorite band is Squid Squad, transfemme, outdated sense of fashion (Splat1 only), favorite weapon is the Splat1 Hero Shot, and they have recently taken up coaching an up and coming Anarchy team. used to be very good at skeeball. occasionally dj's.

---

"Angie" (Agent 4) [she/they -> he/she]

- the most normal of upbringings ever. grew up in the splatoon suburbs and did all the normal school shit like sports and clubs and shit. kind of an overachiever but ultimately unimportant

- their reasoning for coming to the city was ultimately the same as Three's, but they never really moved out from their home until many years later.

- despite being an overachieving nerd in school, they still mostly kept to themselves until the events of Splat2. Marie and Four had a very formal, impersonal relationship for much of the campaign, but Marie's dubious comment about "sweaty pits" caused Four to get uncharacteristically annoyed at her. The two started to bicker more often since then, and the friendship was formed not long after.

- after the events of Splat2, they spent some time aiding on the Octarian integration program, but went back to focusing on school not long after. After graduating, they moved out from their parent's place, and she now lives with Marie.

- Angie (once short for Angela, now short for Angelo) is a transmasc individual with no interest in biological transition. She loves his body just the way it is.

- personality wise, he is a generally upbeat person with a somewhat sharp tongue. prone to being embarrassed. she tends to be quiet around strangers, but is quite outspoken around those she's comfortable with. always loves to be out doing something.

- While not romantically involved with Marie, they are still very close, forming a near-familial bond with one another. They still bicker a lot. His relationship is Callie is a bit strained, because she never knew who she was before the kidnapping, and everyone who knew Cal beforehand says that she acts differently than before. She still views Three as one of her friends, but wonders why they ended up withdrawing away from him. Four had a crush on Eight, and whether or not this crush has since dissipated is unknown.

- misc: favorite 'mainstream' bands are Diss-Pair and SashiMori, tho his taste is more underground (hence not knowing the Squid Sisters). favorite weapon are the Splat Dualies. once climbed to the peak of X rank before calling it quits. unsure of where to go with life after school. no longer an agent for personal reasons.

---

"Scarlett" [Agent 8] (she/her)

- former Octarian weapon maintenance lackey, never quite good enough to reach the elite status. After the events of Splat1, she set her sights on the surface for a better life, but was soon sucked into the horrors of the Deepsea Metro.

- her time on the Metro was terrible, and it still haunts her dreams from time to time. the passage of time was almost indeterminate, and the guilt of killing zombified members of her own race for her own freedom tore at her very being.

- after saving the world (lol), she ended up staying at the Houzuki estate for some time with OTH. they helped integrate her into Inkling society, teach her the language of the surface, etc etc etc. eventually, Eight moved out after wanting some more freedom (and a lot of distance between her and Pearl). They still left her room open for whenever she may need it

- most of her time immediately after OE was spent discovering her interests and hobbies, which included skating, poetry, music, weapon maintenance/modification (lol) and [REDACTED]. tried out turf and ranked but grew bored of it quickly (she is the most skilled person in the 'verse).

- not an agent. never was. never wanted to be. still on good terms with Cuttlefish regardless, and they hang out semi regularly.

- Although she lives with Three currently, her relationship (situationship) with them is complicated. She views Four as a good friend, but recent events have only heightened her opinion on her. Cuttlefish is a bro. Although she and Pearl argue a lot, there's nothing either of them wouldn't do for the other. The worst of best friends. Eight took her name so she could inherit her fortune when she dies. Although she loves Marina, she can't help but worry about her. Struck up a very deep and long lasting friendship with Callie via... unusual circumstances.

- personality wise, Scarlett has bouts of rude bluntness, and a somewhat vulgar vocabulary (no thanks to Pearl). This gives off the impression that she is a mean individual, but she merely has a tough exterior. While she is the most practical of them all, she is not immune to infectious bouts of sillyness. Loves to poke fun whenever she can. occasionally soft spoken and prone to fits of shyness.

- misc: transfemme (no cis agents lmfao), favorite non-SS band is Diss-Pair, though she also fucks with Hightide Era and hopes they make a return. favorite weapon is the E-liter 4K, though she is also fascinated by the Dual Squelcher. works for Sheldon in the Ammo Knights in the Square. loves sleeping. promiscuous. a bit slow to pick up on certain social cues, preferring people to be blunt with her.
