Rescue: Kieran Duffy X Male Reader

Pronouns: he/him, Reader referred to as ‘‘boy’ and ‘man’ Physical Sex: None Mentioned Rating: T/Violence, Language Warnings: Kidnapping, torture, graphic wound, Colm O’Driscoll sucks, Dutch is questionable, very fluffy Kieran Duffy Summary: Kieran finds out you were kidnapped by the O’Driscolls during a train robbery gone wrong and he goes with the gang to rescue you.

The sound of the horses coming back to camp always fills Kieran with relief. People come back alive and the horses are always in need of pats and a good brushing. Your horse in particular always comes to him right away for an oatcake. So when Kieran turns around to watch everyone that went on the job ride in, his heart sinks when you’re not with them. Dutch could have sent you out to fence what you got from the train, you could’ve gone out hunting or something, but you always have someone tell him when you leave camp. You know he worries easily, so it’s usually Charles or Arthur that saunters over to mention where you are. But, as he distractedly brushes at Brown Jack’s coat, Dutch, Arthur, Charles, Javier, Micah, and Sean all remain by the path as they speak in low voices that Kieran can barely hear.

He wanders closer to the group, pretending to fuss over Silver Dollar now.

“We can’t leave ‘em, Dutch.” Arthur says.

“I know, son. I know, and we will.” Dutch puts a hand on Arthur’s shoulder and looks around at the group. “That boy is gonna be fine.”

“We shouldn’t wait, Dutch.” Charles says, his voice firm as he stares straight at his boss.

“Who knows what those O’Driscoll dogs are gonna do with ‘em.” Sean says.

“The kid’ll be fine.” Micah groans.

“Yes he will.” Dutch nods. “And we will go after him at first light, boys. You have my word.”

Kieran’s hand has tightened on the brush he’s holding. His face is pale and his heart is beating too fast to feel. O'Driscolls?

“Mister Van Der Linde?” He asks, stepping out of the cluster of horses.

Dutch turns to him, face falling when his eyes land on the stable boy. “Oh, son. I am truly sorry.”

“Where is he?” Kieran asks, already knowing the answer but needing to hear it again.

“We got jumped by the O’Driscolls on the way back.” Charles says as Dutch hangs his head. “They took him.”

Kieran opens his mouth to speak, but nothing comes out.

“I ain’t waitin’ for mornin’, Dutch.” Arthur says, pulling himself onto his horse. “The kid deserves better than that.”

“Those is bad men, cowpoke.” Micah drawls. “Might get yourself killed in the process.”

“Then why don’t you help fer once, ya lazy bastard.”

“Boys, that is enough.” Dutch says. “I care for that young man, I do. But we can not go running into a fight like this.”

“I’m with Arthur.” Charles says, mounting his horse again.

Javier nods. “I’ll go. He’d do it for me.”

Kieran swallows his nerves. “I’m goin’.”

Micah laughs. “Oh, what a rescue!”

“Shut up, ya lousy turd!” Sean scoffs. “I’m going too, Arthur.”

“You boys, you be careful.” Dutch says. “Get that boy and get home.”

As they ride out, Kieran gets the occasional reassuring word from the gang. Charles stays with him through the ride, making sure he’s alright. But he’s not. Kieran knows exactly what O’Driscolls do with prisoners. He knows that if Colm is there, your pain will be dragged out, but if it’s Tom watching things you’ll be dead by the time your rescue arrives. Colm will tie you up and cut away at your will until you give Dutch up or you die. Tom will hang you in the stables and whoever took over his old duties for the O'Driscolls will clean it up.

“Slow up to the left here!” Arthur says.

The gallop of the group slows as they enter a line of trees. They stash the horses and grab their weapons, ready to sneak into the camp. Kieran recognizes it. It’s one of the bigger camps, so it might be Colm here and you might be alive. Branwen steps nervously as Kieran draws a rifle from his saddle, poor thing knows his rider is nervous.

“We go in quiet.” Arthur instructs. “Charles and I are gonna go along the perimeter, take out who we can.”

“You all should wait until they see us, then you rush in and take them by surprise.” Charles adds.

“We ain’t here to kill O’Driscolls, we’re kere ta get the kid.” Arthur looks over everyone’s faces. “Ya find ‘em, ya get the hell out.”

“He’s-they probably got him in the stables.” Kieran points to the structure on the north end.

“Alright.” Arthur sighs. “You get a chance, you get in there.”

Kieran nods, a determined look on his face.

Arthur and Charles split, circling around the edge of camp. They take out the stragglers that they come across with knives or arrows and move on. Everything is going smoothly, so they move in and take out a few more stragglers. Then Arthur is spotted and he draws his gun. The stealthy invasion turns into a firefight, Javier and Sean run in and take cover behind some boxes. Kieran takes his chance and runs as fast as he can towards the stables. His rifle is clutched tightly to his chest and his legs burn with every step. He stops to shoot the O’Driscoll by the stable door and rushes inside. When he turns the corner into the open space between the stalls his breath hitches.

Colm O’Driscoll himself holds you upright, a gun to your head. Your hair is wet with blood, your skin is peppered with bruises, and you are leaning into Colm to alleviate what looks like a badly hurt leg. Colm’s twisted face is filled by a smile as he pulls the hammer back on his revolver.

“Well, well, if it isn’t the stable boy.” Colm chuckles. “The traitor.”

“Let him go.” Kieran says with a shake in his voice, his knuckles turning white as he grips his rifle.

“Never took you for the brave sort.” Colm steps backwards towards one of the exterior doors. “I remember you… Kieran, that’s it. You never quite did anything right.”

Kieran takes a step forward. He freezes when Colm presses the barrel right against your cheek, his cold laugh filling the stables. His grip around your middle tightens as he reaches the door, his arm pushing against a bad bruise and making you wince.

“You ain’t gettin’ outta here!” Kieran says.

Colm chuckles. “We will see about that, boy.”

The O’Driscoll leader puts his back to the door, a sly smirk on his face. He releases his grip on you and a second later there’s a sharp pain in your side. Colm back out of the door as you fall to the floor, clutching the knife in your stomach. Kieran rushes to you, dropping his rifle in favor of holding your head off of the dirty ground.

“Go after him.” You say, wincing as Kieran tries to lay you down more comfortably.

“I ain’t goin’ nowhere.” He says. “You’re gonna be fine.”

He leans down and presses a kiss to your forehead. You can feel a tear drop onto your face as he does.

“You can’t let him get away, Kieran.” You gasp from the pain. “We’ve been hunting him for months, you can’t just-”

“I ain’t leavin’ ya here.” He presses his hand on your cheek and lightly strokes his thumb across the blood-caked skin. “I love you, I ain’t leavin’ ya.”

“Kieran, you gotta-”

“I ain’t goin’!” He says shakily as the tears roll down his cheeks. “I’m stayin’ right here, sweetheart. Right here.”

The shots from outside die down and there’s a few faint yells between the Van Der Lindes. Kieran holds you, just looking over your face, when Arthur bursts through the door with Charles behind him. They join Kieran at your side and Charles looks over the wound.

“He’s gonna be fine, Kieran.” Charles says, putting a hand on his shoulder. “It’s not too bad, we just need to get him back to camp.”

“Alright.” Arthur says. “Come on, kid. Let Charles take him.”

Arthur pulls Kieran away and Charles helps you up. You ride with Charles back to camp because he knows how to handle your injury better, but Kieran hardly takes his eyes off of you. When the group ride into camp they’re met with Strauss and his tonics. Charles helps you down and hands you off. Kieran trails behind and lingers as long as Strauss is treating you. He takes off his hat and fiddles with it as he paces. Charles and Arthur check on him, Mary-Beth brings him food that he declines, Micah makes a comment that he hardly hears but he’s sure it’s cruel.

“Mister Duffy.” Strauss says as he pulls the privacy cover back from his station. “He will be just fine, I recommend bed rest for the next few days.”

Kieran nods.

“You may take him to his tent now.” Strauss says, then he holds a finger up at the man. “Slowly. Very slowly.”

“Yes, sir.” Kieran nods, putting his hat back on his head.

You’re already sitting up when Kieran ducks into the tent. He helps you up and gives a string of apologies with every wince or groan. Very carefully, he lays you down on your bedroll.

“Do ya need anythin’? Food or somethin’?” He asks as he sets his hat down on the small table where he’d put yours when you got back earlier.

You shake your head. “Can you just stay with me, Kieran?”

“Of, uh, of course.” He takes his gun belt off in a hurry and lays down next to you, careful as he puts an arm over your bruised body and softly rests his head on your chest. “I was real worried.”

You sigh. “I know. But I’m fine.”

“You ain’t fine.” Kieran mumbles into your shirt.

“As long as you’re here, I’m perfectly fine.” You run your fingers through his hair.

Kieran clings to you a little tighter and you make yourself not wince for his sake. Kieran falls asleep fast, his rush from worry dying down now that you’re holding him again. You lay awake for a while to think about what happened, all the things Colm did to try and get you to rat on Dutch. You were strong and didn’t breathe a word, but you don’t have to be anymore. You have Kieran again, you can rest.

Kieran Reacting to Panic Attacks

Anon asked: If I may, could I request something similar to your panic attack headcannons except with Kieran comforting a reader who's having a panic attack? Thank you so much! I just found your blog and all of your writing is amazing!

rdr2 masterlist

Thank you for enjoying my content and I am so sorry for the delay in this request, but here you go! I hope you enjoy Love!

Originally published on October 13, 2020

Kieran Duffy x Reader (Gender-Neutral/Nonbinary)

Warnings: Panic attacks, comfort

Words: ~300

Kieran is familiar with panic attacks- Has been since his running with Colm

It may have worsened when joining the Van Der Linde Gang but we won’t talk about that

He is familiar with panic attacks so can count on him to see the symptoms for yours

He is sweet so he will do whatever he needs to do to ground you

Hold your hand? You betcha

Hug you? Of course

Need space? No problem, he will be over there when you need him

Whatever you need- He will do because he understands the terrible panic pangs that come along with these

The fear of it never going away but he will assure you that he will be there no matter what and despite the fear- That this panic attack will go away

Sweet boy will go get your favorite things either after (or during if you requested to be alone) and make a gift basket for you

He will show you his own tricks to get past these- His biggest secret being taking care of the horses

He finds it calming to take care of the animals because it makes the attack past by sooner as he is forced to take care of another living thing- He will help you ease into this kind of thinking

The first sign of you panicking he will have you brush the horses immediately

It does have a calming effect being with a sweet soul and innocent animals and you soon find it to be helpful

If you ever want to talk about it- He is also all ears- He will not mind if you wake him up (poor baby is probably already up still worrying if the O’Driscolls will come after him : ()

Overall, he cares and hard and he does not mind doing anything to help you through that terrifying attack

How's timewarp Javier doing? I just know bro spawns and is absolutely and has no idea what the hell is happening. One moment he's in Mexico being hung and then the next he's spawned in the middle of a busy road. Feel like he'd be extremely happy to know the gang was mostly all back together cause I feel the fall hit him really hard (Dutch got some serious explaining to do). Maybe he even starts picking playing guitar back up.

Feel like he'd be enamored by YouTube aswell. Learned about it and the family tv's YouTube acc is filled with the most crazy recommended videos. Maybe he even starts making his own videos, maybe mostly about fishing, maybe a bit of blog style shit. Finds dude perfect and gets everyone else into it. (Let this man bottle flip)

TIMEWARP JAVIER MY BELOVED

☺

I am so sorry but in timewarp canon john was the one who killed javier. he was captured alive but through all the insults and forced laughter to hide the fact he was almost crying john would realise that shooting javier himself was kinder than handing him to the bureau alive to be tortured and executed in an american prison. and javier was terrified of being handed over to the us governemnt alive. when john turned the gun on him he was pretty much at peace with it (For each man kills the thing he loves)

going from being in a cell in el presidio to laying on the ground in the middle of a bustling market would have been more frightening than realising john was about to shoot him but before he can even look around arthur's there offering him a hand

the impact on javier bless. looking around and seeing the gang waiting for him but they've aged arthur's starting to go gray and sean and lenny are in their 30s javier would've immediately started bawling and hugging them all

unlike most of the rdr1 gang javier is extremely willing to just block out everything that happened after 1899 because it was a really dark time for him he just wants his gang back. he's genuinely sorry for not siding with arthur in beaver hollow because of course turned out arthur was right dutch went so far off the deep end even though javier still valued loyalty dutch didn't anymore

he would be pretty self conscious about his appearance for a bit because everyone else seems to have got a modern day glow up meanwhile he's been cutting his hair with blunt scissors for years and neglecting himself a lot

his love affair with youtube starts hair care and skin care routines he will buy every product beautiful men promote on their channels. he grows his hair back out and is much more interested in fashion than the rest of the boys give him a month and he's roasting arthur for walking around in ratty oversized shirts covered in motor oil

kieran and javier sprawled on the couch doomscrolling through youtube with exfoliating face masks on. dark media iceberg specialists but also tiktok compilations.

when he gets his first phone javier opens an account on every social media and his content is just a mess sometimes it's memey bottle flip and rube goldberg ping pong ball videos sometimes it's self care stuff sometimes it's just a clip of him ranting in spanish about 'authentic' mexican food or really awkward 'look at this fish i caught' photos and he jumps between socials so sporadically he doesn't really have a following but molly would like all his stuff

javier getting a guitar again would be such a big deal but also so understated like one of the gang would've just got him one because it's javier of course he needs a guitar and javier just holds it for a second because it's the first time he'd held a guitar since beaver hollow. he lost his guitar in the raid and never had a reason to play so he didn't get another one. but it would feel so right to be sitting in the living room with a guitar in his hands while sean excitedly asks him to play something he'd just laugh and start back with old campfire songs and everyone gets to sing along like the proper good old days. processing trauma through symbolism speedrun

javier and kieran would be the two that never move out of the matthews' house or get jobs. kieran just wasn't built for living alone but for javier it's like he just got the gang back he still desperately needs that connection. he's also a notorious couch surfer he will rock up at someone's place and stay for a few days because just he missed them and he's always welcome. he also somehow gets the title of go-to babysitter kids love him like yay tio javier is here we're gonna paint his nails

Punishment

...

Juliana was busy helping her mother in the garden when she heard someone approaching. It was Kieran. He carried a small box in his hands and gave Juliana a big smile.

"Hey Juli, i brought you some cookies made by my sis. Believe it or not, she fell in love with that home ed class at your school and is now full on trying out everything they learn there" This amused Juliana quite a lot, seeing as Carmine didn´t really looked like she would engage in such things at all...

"Thank you, i really appreciate it!" She got up from her position and walked over to Kieran, hugging him. "So i take that you two enjoy Naranja Academy so far?"

The boy nodded, still smiling.

"Yeah, it´s really nice here and the teachers are certainly different from those at Blueberry Academy" Less strict and way more more lenient, Kieran mused, chuckling. "Let me put these cookies inside the house before the sun melts them. It´s quite hot today. Do you want something to drink?" Juliana asked, taking the box from her friend, carrying it inside. "Yes please!" He replied, looking around the lot he was standing on. The garden really was beautiful and certainly ripe with all kinds of fruits and vegetables.

Just as he wanted to follow Juliana inside, he saw Ogerpon swiping the patio with a broom, looking all but not pleased. When his friend came back, he gently nudged the girl, pointing towards the sweeping pokemon. "What´s up with Ogi? She looks really angry, did something happen?"

At that, Juliana sighed, giving Keiran his drink.

"It´s a punishment, she did something very bad and is now living through the consequences of it. Right Ogi?" She turned towards the young Pokemon, raising a brow. There was only an indignified huff as answer as she continued to sweep the ground.

"What did she do?" Kieran asked.

"Well, she sneaked up in the attic, got her Iron Cudgel, which by the way she is forbidden from using outside of battles, and decided to hit Momo on top of his head with it..."

Ogi only rolled with her eyes.

"Don´t give me that eyeroll, young lady! We don´t hit in this house and you know that!"

"POOOOOOOOOOON PON!" Ogi replied dramatically, it was amazing how close it sounded to a child, whining. Kieran chuckled, shaking his head. "Poor Momo, i bet that must have hurt!"

"He cried for hours afterwards. I even had to take him to the Pokemon Center! And you know how he likes going there..." Momo had a severe phobia of hospital settings and thus, every visit to the Pokemon Center or it´s sick bay, made the little Pokemon flew into a giant panic attack. "Don´t even get me started when its time for his shots...you don´t wanna see him there..."

Kieran nodded at that, feeling sorry for the little Peach.

"You know, Ogi and Momo are pretty much like Carmine and me when it comes to sibling quabbles. She used to hit me too when i was too annoying for her taste. Of course never so bad that i had to go to the hospital, but still." The memories of these events were still fresh inside his head, albeit it had been years by now that they happened.

"Speaking of Momo, where is he? Terapagos wanted to go play with him as soon he heard me talking about going to visit you!"

"Oh i laid him down for a nap. The heat is making him kind of drowsy and i don´t want him to get a sunburn or heatstroke either. He is in my room." Keiran mused at that for a moment, it was really hot he had to admit. No wonder even Pokemon got bothered by it.

"That´s a shame, but of course his health goes first. I hope he feels better after that nap." He took a sip from his lemonade by now and relished at the taste. "This is really good. Perfect for a hot summer day!" Juliana nodded eagerly. "Yeah, my mom makes the best lemonade around here. Nemona, Arven and Penny can testify to that!" She laughed, pulling Kieran over to her, nuzzling his cheek.

"That said, I am done with gardening for now, why don´t you come inside and we can watch a couple movies? We have an air conditioner too, so it´s nice and cool inside." Before going inside though, she called over Ogi, allowing her a break as well.

"You can take a break as well, Ogi. Take a glass of the lemonade and go inside, okay? I don´t want you to get overheated either...you can continue later!"

Ogerpon was first relieved to finally being able to stop sweeping but got hit by the word "break", which meant that she had to continue later on, which did not sit right with her at all. Pouting she listened to Juliana and went inside with a huff, throwing the broom on the ground, probably to make a point.

"She still has a long way to go..." Juliana sighed, taking Kierans hand, pulling him inside. "Then again, i can´t really blame her. She never had someone to tell her what is right and what is wrong..."

"I think you´re doing a pretty good job as her trainer so far, so don´t worry about it!" They kissed each other and went inside together, hand in hand.

Inside the house there was a commotion going on already, Momo seemingly had woken from his slumber and was now darting through the house, visibly full of energy. From what Juliana could see, he had cookie crumbs around his cheeks which only could mean one thing...he must have gotten in the cookies Kieran had brought and Momo now effectively had a bona fide sugar rush.

"I think someone gourged themselves on your sisters cookies, Kieran..." Juliana chuckled, watching her youngest charge zooming around the house, giggling like crazy. Ogi followed him, visibly annoyed but also with cookie crumbs around her mouth.

"Now that Momo´s awake, i can let out Terapagos as well, that´s what he wanted anyway!" Kieran exclaimed, calling out his friend from inside his ball. "Alright Tera, go have fun with Momo!"

The young Pokemon did not wasted a minute and quickly got a hold of both Momo and Ogi.

"You think they let us watch our movies in peace?" Kieran asked, looking at Juliana with an amused look. "We can try, let´s go before there is yet another incident caused by this trio in the back"

And with that, both Juliana and Kieran sat down and enjoyed a couple hours together, with the joyful and livid background noises of playing Pokemon.

Loving Arthur

Charthur dabble

🦌🦬🦌🦬

Arthur was capable, Charles didn't have to worry much about his safety.

……most of the time.

Especially now that the gang has settled a bit, Hosea’s snake oil turned out to be very good whiskey.

True Dutch and Micha where still plotting something. But not having Arthur work the jobs for them and do all the leg work?

Those plans seemed to fizzle out like old cigarettes embers.

Arthur was strong, smart (despite what he would say) and was so damn quick with a gun.

Charles knew the love of his life would survive.

But the sight of Charles's beloved mate tanning the hide of a jaguar, hit a nerve.

Normally Charles wouldn't mind Arthur hunting big game, it was impressive. From a poor hunter to a master class one Arthurs skills had grown.

But Arthur was pregnant. Hardly a month or so, Kieran oddly had a skill when it came to babies? Like he knew Arthur was pregnant before Arthur did.

He had told Charles he was going fishing just down the way. Told Charles he would be safe and not to worry. Judging by the hanging corpse of a jaguar that's not what happened.

“Arthur.” Charles walked over to him, crossing his arms over his chest.

The outlaw jumped a bit holding the fleshing knife still. “Howdy Charles, how was ya-” Arthur's voice slowly died in his throat receiving a pointed look from his Alpha. “I…um…can explain?”

“I would love to hear it, how did you catch a jaguar while fishing?” Charles asked keeping his voice quiet and even.

Innocent until proven guilty and all that.

“I promise ya I was fishing, pretty bluegill just down the way. I was sitting down, drinking all that water ya asked me too and even ate.” he offered up. “I was packing my basket of fish to go, looked up and there it was. A whole jaguar!” Arthur shifted as told his story. “Started running for me, I was able to shoot it before it got too close.”

Charles looked at Arthur and slowly looked at the big cat. He covered his eyes and gave a low grown. “Are you hurt?” he asked.

“Naw, didn't even touch me.” Arthur rested his thumbs in his (much loser) gunbelt. “I'mma sorry, I didn't think-”

“It's fine Arthur. I'm glad you're okay, baby okay too?” Charles asked.

Arthur nodded slowly. “Yeah, had Mrs.Grimshaw check…baby is fine.”

“What am I going to do with you, crazy white boy? Strange things happen to you.” Charles pulled Arthur close and kissed him. “…..now…the pelt is beautiful…what are you planning on doing with it?” he asked resting his arm over Arthurs shoulder.

“Aw hell, i dont know. I'm still shocked you wanna be around me. Maybe keep me on a leash?” Arthur joked into the kiss. “Oh the pelt? I was thinking…i don't think I could use a stroller for the baby. I need to work and I ain't gonna dump our baby on people…was thinking of a backboard? Big enough for you and me to be able ta wear.”

Charles nodded thinking it over. “I get what you mean about strollers, I've only seen them in places with streets. Bulky and metal.” he looked at the pelt. “A backboard is a good idea, I'm not sure how to make one…”

“Figured next time we visit Eagle flys and Rainfalls we would ask?” Arthur suggested. “Being the best leather and hide we got?”

“I would like that.” Charles gave a nod. “But if you get attacked by another Jaguar, I think I'll die.”

“Oh no you ain't! Ya gotta stick around with me. Can't die until I do.”

Charles laughed loudly. “Love you too.”

Medea Played Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, The DLC's (Part I)

Previously on Shit-post Theater

This. That. Also This. That too.

Yeah, it's been a minute. I've been holding off on doing one of these since the first DLC that dropped back in December really didn't wow me as much as I thought it would. So I waited until the second one dropped. Only to learn that an epilogue was coming soon thereafter. That was awfully kind of them. Okay, sit back.

Maybe throw away that sandwich you've been holding onto since November of 2022.

At the start, Jacq-strap tells you about an opportunity to go on a school trip to Kitakami. A region that was just pulled out of thin air...

And here we are!

You're in Kitakami with three randos from the academy, being chaperoned by Ms. Briar, who is an instructor at Blueberry Academy in Unova. And if that doesn't sound familiar to you, it will soon enough.

Soon after, you are accosted and insulted by one of Blueberry Academy's finest asses, Carmine.

The little one behind Carmine is her little brother Kieran. Now that I finished that interruption. I gotta do something really important.

There we go. I am complete. I can finally get a Clefable in these games.

A girl and her Clefable. Is there anything more perfect in this world?

I suppose I should look around this small region.

There's only one Pokemon Center. And it's an outdoor facility just like Paldea.

Gender neutral bathrooms along with boy/girl ones? Uh-oh, don't tell the right-wing weirdos on X.

More pokemon to catch as well. Even Jacq-strap gives you a special egg. I hope it's something...

Sigh. Gible, use Draco Meteor.

And then we meet these two oddballs. O'Nare and...the other one. I don't remember the other one. Biff or Billy or Monty Q Moneybags. Shit, I don't care. They're part of the Pokemon version of the Illuminati. And you'll find them in weird places throughout Kitakami and Paldea. Even on the jagged tippy-tops of the Great Crater. Follow them enough times and O'Nare will battle you a couple of times and you can get a few goodies like nuggets, big nuggets, and a phone case.

There's also a rumor that these two are really Nemona's parents. There's no proof of that and as of this date of posting, we don't know Nemona's parents. I have theories that she's the product of Goku and one of the compulsive gamblers on Kakegurui.

The point of this school trip is to go all over Kitakami and take selfies in front of certain landmarks. Each place tells you parts of a story involving a man, an ogre pokemon, and three "savior" pokemon. Through it all, you're with Kieran. That shy little cinnamon roll.

And then it's time for this mask festival. And you meet Kieran's grandpar...

Huh.

I could be wrong, but did Jessie and James wear disguises like this long ago? Nope? Sorry, my imagination! Okay, moving on.

At this festival, you can play this Ogre-busting game where you have to place mochis up before certain hungry pokemon eat em' up.

You can keep playing this game for a chance at winning a shiny Munchlax.

During the festival, you and Carmine come across that ogre pokemon mentioned prior and a teal mask. Hence, the name of the first DLC.

From this point on, you're going to learn more about Ogerpon. How he's not a bad pokemon and that the tale is fabricated.

And all of this is destroying the cinnamon roll. Kieran always loved the ogre from the stories and feels a little betrayed when you and Carmine hide the new revelations from him.

He is now a stale cinnamon roll.

It's not long before the three "savior" pokemon from the story crash the DLC and run amok all over Kitakami. Eating everything, stealing Ogerpon's precious masks, and turning into titan-sized pokemon.

So, let's get all of these masks back for Ogerpon and defeat those giant, toxic nightmares.

Ogerpon gets a happy ending where the villagers apologize for how it was treated by their ancestors.

Kieran will fight you again for Ogerpon, which ends something like this.

Oh, get up off the floor you drama queen. Shinji Ikari has more dignity than you right now.

And then you fight Ogerpon in a battle.

It's going to be tough since it has four masks, he's tera during the whole battle, and each mask changes his second type. But once defeated, you can catch it with 100% rate.

That's actually it. I was surprised when I finished it so fast. I was worried about taking too long playing it because I had a birthday trip around the same time of release. Speaking of...

I still find this cute.

After the Teal Mask main story, there were a few things we could do.

Like donating your hard-earned moolah to the caretaker in Kitakami. I know he ain't worth it like Honey in Sword/Shield, but...

Nah, I've got nothing.

You can finish off your Kitakami pokedex. There should be 200 entries. And if you fill 150 entries, you can help Perrin.

First of all, we were all wrong about who Adaman was ancestor to. I still want to believe that Adaman is somehow connected to Mikey from Tokyo Revengers. It's not possible, but I'd like to. Good on the creators for giving us Perrin in this game.

The game takes a small turn into Pokemon Snap! territory for a second as you have to take snapshots of pokemon in the wild.

And then you battle the special Hisuian pokemon.

This little fella is different from Legends Arceus. This is known as the Bloodmoon Ursaluna. And no, you can't evolve your Ursarring in this game. After you finish this mini game, Perrin will reward you with Hisuian Growlithe.

Fast forward three months later when you get that call from Clavell and has an old friend of his who wants to meet you.

Let's checkmark another gay couple to the Scarlet/Violet game I approve of.

Cyrano here is the director of Blueberry Academy and wants you to be an exchange student. Remember, this is the school that Kieran and Carmine go to and that Briar teaches at.

And that's it from me. Okay, go on and get out of here. Feed your Koraidon a sandwich.

To be continued.

Have you seen the movie Charlie Countryman? It’s ass lowkey but Mads Mikkelsen looks the best in it. Acting on point and he’s like a mafia guy or whatever. Reminds me of Lalo aka your type

Okay, let me rant a little bit. Can believe Mads Mikkelsen is one of the only people to become celebrity crush?

Now wait, like- now...like-

The only other three people are Gillian Anderson, Mike Faist, and Antony Starr. Now you're probably thinking like...girl, you write mostly for Lalo and Roman and you don't have a crush on Kieran Culkin and Tony Dalton? And...yeah. By the time I got into BCS and Succession, idk, my brain wasn't too into feeling an attachment or attraction to people I didn't know in real life. Like don't get me wrong, I find them both to be very handsome, but compared to the way my ass was fixating on the celebs listed above, it's nothing like a celebrity crush. I don't even follow Tony on insta. And maybe it's because I follow Kieran Culkin's wife there so like my brain doesn't attach to him out of respect lol? Is this healthiness? Is this me healthily enjoy media?

No cause I'm writing fictional universes to enjoy myself and interact with others but who's gonna stop me. Tumblr tried and I'm free bitches!!

I think it's because with Mike Faist, I was in love with him when he was in Dear Evan Hansen-

Yes I was a DEH fan and I was like thirteen. And I'm so not crushing on him so hard that if I do watch challengers, it's for Zendaya, not for him. That's right, and I was watching the boys when it came out and I was...fourteen? Fifteen? I think you can tell I'm saying my early teen heart was just fixating on the lot of them. I knew Gillian Anderson from Hannibal, like finding out she was in X-files had me dead.

But let me tell you the CHOKEHOLD Mads Mikkelsen had on me. I watched Hannibal when I was way too young and it led to me watching Charlie Countryman and The Hunt way too young. And if you've watched The Hunt, you know kids are not supposed to watching that damn movie. He's the only celebrity that's made me watch things simply because he was in them. I, like, thought I was going to marry him even though he's like 80. I had a pinterest board of him...it was bad. I had different crushes for each of his characters, but I would've let Hannibal eat me.

But yeah, I have seen Charlie Countryman. I watched it twice in the span of three days and I loved it, not just cause of Mads but there was something about it. Haven't seen it in forever though.

I think it goes to show that personality is heavy for me cause I have had and will have plenty of fictional crushes, and it's like I know them cause I watch a piece of media surrounding their entire lives, but when I see the actor? Even if they look the exact same, idk that mother fucker...love you, Kieran, though...

Sorry for the ramble, I just don't think many of you know that Mads Mikkelsen is why I am the way that I am and probably why I'm writing today lol

//assume this is private!!

Miss Amarys,

I'm sorry I'm pretty much just seeing this now, but holy heck. I am like, legitimately sorry you're going through this right now. I don't know what the heck them boys are thinking, trying to drag the whole League Club into this mess--I don't wanna be making commentary on this shit because it sounds like a mess, but yer absolutely right to be frustrated. They're trouncing all over the rules here, just for what? So Kieran can put everything it has on the line for this? It doesn't make sense, and it sure doesn't consider anyone else's feelings in this situation.

...I'm sorry you're being demonized for this shit. The fact that people are just saying this shit, and especially that Atlas is acting like the reigning head of the toolshed monarchy right now--if you'll pardon my language for a sec, it's fucked as hell.

I don't know if anything will help, but...do you want company? Lulu's a registered emotional support, and I know you and he have gotten on real well. I'd be happy to trust you with him for tonight, if it'd help. Or just to come on over, if you wanna talk. I got enough pirated movies on here to help with distraction, or I can just be there. But if you need to be alone or anything else, that's totes fine too.

You take care of yourself, okay? And if you need anything at all, lemme know.

-Ren/@eartheats

//I am assuming it is private and we are both pretending I DIDN'T fall asleep mid-drama and answered this last night.

Greetings, Ren. Thank you for your message. It is well received.

I am beyond frustrated. I keep coming back to the fact that we have talked about exactly this scenario before, I have brought up my arguments for why we should abide by the exchange student rule, and no one argued with me. No one brought up counterpoints, or gave any indication that this was what would happen. When we had that vote, I was certain I knew how it would go because we had already had this discussion. It feels like a metaphorical slap in the face.

I would not mind the company, of both you and Lulu. I am attempting to get my thoughts in order and it seems that this is not a task I am able to accomplish alone.

Okay! (I'm sorry to your followers who are playing the DLC, I'm spoiling it all)

Part one; The Teal Mask

You go to this new place Kitakami, meet Carmine (she's rude) and her little brother Kieran (he's a sweetheart and shy)

You learn about the 'Loyal Three' who laid down their lives to protect the village from this evil ogre.

You keep defeating Kieran in battle because Nintendo likes to bully the shy guys.

You meet the ogre, an adorable pokemon named Ogerpon, she (100% female) is precious and hides her face with a few masks, including the Teal Mask

You learn that Ogerpon is not a bad pokemon, the loyal three killed her human friend, stole three of her four masks (she had the Teal Mask while she was wherever she was) and fled to the village. She flew into a rage and chased them down, killing them

Meanwhile Carmine's becoming friendlier and after you are forced (by Nintendo and Carmine) to lie to Kieran about meeting Ogerpon whom he likes very much, he starts becoming more antgonistic towards you, ends up punching this monument to the 'Loyal Three' which somehow caused said three to come to life, get hold of the three masks once again (they had been held in Kitakami Hall) and generally make nuisances of themselves (towards you, Carmine and Ogerpon, Kieran just kinda goes somewhere for a while)

Long story short, you send them packing, get the masks back, Ogerpon wants to travel with you and Kieran doesn't like that so he challenges you and loses (and starts going a bit off the deep end)

Part Two: The Indigo Disk (this just came out on the 13th)

A post game DLC (The Teal Mask is like the Isle of Armor for SwSh, you can either play it at the beginning or end of the main game and the levels will adjust accordingly) that takes you to Blueberry Academy, where Carmine and Kieran are studying.

Kieran's become the academy champion and is obsessed with beating you, still loses after you take on the BB League E4 but whatever

The main meat of the DLC is returning to Area Zero to find the hidden treasure

Which turns out to be another adorable pokemon, this one named Terapagos, which was in a sealed crystal state. Kieran frees him (I think this one is 50/50, but mine's male) and he reforms, sees you and starts walking towards you.

And the boy immediately master balls the poor thing because he was infuriated that he chose you over him (honestly, I think he just saw you first and was like 'You freed me!') and then challenges you again with Terapagos, loses again and his (Terapagos) energy starts going haywire.

Kieran tries to return him, but he breaks the Master Ball (you had him for five minutes, Kieran, how did you eff up this badly) and you have to battle him and catch him.

Energy stops, Kieran starts his redemption arc and we all live happily ever after.

Until the Epilogue, a free 3rd part of the DLC, comes out in January, this time bringing back the og Area Zero Crew (Arven, Penny, Nemona) and revealing a mysterious pokemon in Kitakami.

So yeah, fun!

OH MY GOD!! I seriously need to see this now excuse meeeee! hhhhh ALSO I AM SO SORRY FOR SPOILERS GUYS IF YOU ARE PLAYING!!

I feel like the obvious solution to the Ogerpon problem is shared custody. Kieran can come back to our academy with us and all three of us can hang out and be friends without pressure from his village and family (however intentional or unintentional that pressure may be, you can’t say it did anything good for him).

I feel like he’d fit well with the friend group of Arven, Penny, Nemona, and the protagonist, anyways. Look me in the eyes and tell me Nemona wouldn’t love helping him get stronger.

Petition to adopt Kieran into the Paldean Friend Group. I think he would absolutely get along well with the other 3 characters. Nemona can help him get stronger while also doing some good for his self-confidence, Penny's anti-social herself and would be able to sympathize with his social struggles (also, she's not exactly known for using strong Pokemon, but doesn't let that get her down), and Arven has strained family bonds (ouch) and has done life-threatening things for the sake of a Pokemon (as someone who lost their childhood dog, the scenes with Mabostiff made me tear up).

I think the change from "friendly rival who is chill with everything" to a character who is a "friendly rival turned into your arch-nemesis" is actually a nice change! As much as I love Hau, Hop, and Nemona, the idea of a rival who goes from being a close friend to actually starting to dread being around us is so... interesting! I mean, you could say Bede was starting to despise running into us, but he was never really a friendly rival to begin with. Anyway, while I love the idea here, why did they have to do it to my boy? Actually, I'm surprised that more characters DON'T say anything at all about us getting Legendary or Mythical Pokemon. They're just like "Oh, you caught (Legendary/Mythical Pokemon)? That's cool. I had pancakes this morning" like they're as common as a Caterpie.

And I am 100% with you on the intentional vs unintentional thing. A person's intentions don't dictate the impact of their consequences. Even if Kieran's family meant well, that doesn't magically erase any potential harm that could've been done. That's like saying Lusamine, whose original intention was to find a way to find her husband again (or something like that), is magically repented from the harm she put Gladion and Lillie through just because she had good intentions. Or, for example, you could say Team Magma and Team Aqua have good intentions when they wake up Groudon or Kyogre, but they're seen as evil groups for a reason: because they do harm. Lysandre is a perfect example of this- or better yet, AZ is a perfect example of this! You could argue that AZ had good intentions with the Weapon by ending the great war and reviving his Pokemon that was killed because of it, but does that change the fact that he killed a bunch of people and Pokemon for it? No, it doesn't.

That's like saying a parent who gives you minimal attention isn't guilty of neglect or something because their intention was to prepare you for the real world. There's literally an old saying that goes something like, "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions". If you hurt someone, whether it be physically. mentally, or emotionally, your intentions don't really mean anything. Can it make your actions more understandable? Perhaps, but that doesn't change how your actions/intentions impacted other people. Even if they're unintentional, that behavior still affects someone, like how the pressure from the village and Kieran's family would still impact him in a negative way, even if they didn't mean to.

Sorry for the rant, that went a bit deeper than I meant to, I just got too into the writing-

Chapter 1: The Calling

My eyes creak open and I am greeted by emptiness. There is nothing and no one except for me inside these awful walls. At least, nothing meaningful. There’s supposed to be meaning. There’s supposed to be love, but there is nothing. And that’s what’s wrong here.

Everything changes and nothing persists. I stay like this for a little longer, wallowing in my own woe and misery… then I get a call. The sound of California Boyz makes me jolt upright and grab the phone. It’s an unknown number. “This is Kieran Roe speaking.” “Do you give out yer name to everyone like that, boy?” They had a thick, Welsh accent. I couldn’t quite place it as either northern or southern. It seemed to be leaning more north, though. “Who is this?” “No, seriously, do you really just hand out yer true name to every bloody person you come across? Like fuckin’ candy at a parade. I’d expect better of someone as educated as you.” This time I clock the words. So they’re magical, or at least, aware of the supernatural. I sigh, “Look, if you’re just gonna reprimand me then we can just–” “No, no, yer gonna wanna hear what I have to say.” “Then say it.” “Feisty, innit?” They audibly click their teeth together. “Alright, well, to introduce myself, people call me Collector.” “Oh... You.” “My reputation precedes me then?” He giggles. “Yeah. What’s your business with me?” “I hear ya got a story. A few, actually,” Collector explains. “Newest one bein’ some real Orpheus and Eurydice shite, I hear.” I hang up and he calls right back. I let it ring twice before sighing and hitting the answer button. I know he doesn’t just take, he trades, but that doesn’t stop the fact he struck a nerve. It’s a wonder he gets any clients with this dogshit business strategy. “Leave me alone,” I bark. “Wait!” He yells through the phone. “Listen, I’m sorry ‘bout it. Really am. It’s tragic, innit?” Collector clicks his teeth together again. “I didn’t call ya to tease. Really.” “Then why?” The question came out shakier than I wanted. I was practically oozing venom. Who gave this bastard the right to talk to me like this and then backpedal. Hell, all I know is his title and his pronouns. I don’t even know who he is. “I got whatcha need.” I inhale sharply. “And what is that?” “You wanna look for yer lover boy, yeah? See where they are in all of the realms? A way to divine ‘im?” “... Y-yeah. Actually.” I take a few deep breaths. I fumble with the day-old braid in my hair to ground myself. This is it. This is my shot, but why would it fall into my lap like this? It just didn’t sit well, but I couldn’t just let it pass me either. “Great,” Collector continues, noticing my baited breath. “I got just that. But business is a face to face affair I reckon. So listen up. Grab a pen n’ paper, or whatever you have to fuckin’ record this. I don’t care.” I quickly scavenge my nightstand like a man possessed. I shove magical artefacts of unknown power and origin aside and onto the floor. I need this. Finally, I find my journal of spells. I don’t even care if it wasn’t made for this purpose. I just have to record this. I have to know. And so I do as told. I transcribe it and even have him repeat it for good measure. “When?” I asked. “Whenever. ‘Fore you do, you’ll have to scrawl a lil symbol on the door. It oughta be in…” He pauses. He pauses for so long, in fact, that I start wondering whether or not he had hung up. Or died. Eventually, he pipes up. “You got a copy of ‘Sigil Magick and How To Annoy The Gods’, yeah?” “Yeah. How’d you know?” “I assumed. Anyhow, page 54. If you have the first edition, then it’s 52. If you have the collector’s edition, 69.” “Thanks. Anything else?” “Yeah. Be ready to impress me.” And he hangs up. “Yeah, definitely not ominous at all,” I mumble. I flop onto the bed, flip phone still in hand. And I stay like that for a while, occasionally letting out loud, dramatic sighs. I even move to put my hands in my face. Before I can even grumble out the rest of my grievances, I fall. I fall deeper and deeper. The dull sunlight hitting my eyelids falls away into nothing. It’s just a void. A sea of nothing but stars. Me and the stars. Millions of stars surrounded by billions of worlds. So small. So alone. It’s cold in the vastness. It always is. Without love, there’s nothing left but a cold eternity. The love of friends and family. When you cannot claim or create happiness in a cruel world, what’s left but that world? I fall deeper and into a memory. Suddenly it’s a tepid day and I’m on that old farmstead. Scarless hands feel the grass and I look over to see them. “Blaidd,” The name rolls off my tongue naturally. In this state, the horrors have yet to touch me- us. Everything’s alright. “Yeah, what’s up, Roeboat?” I roll my eyes at the name. “Tough crowd… How about Roebot?” They ask. “I think Roeboat was cuter,” I shake my head, “Listen… I was thinkin’-” “Dangerous thing for you, y’know?” Blaidd interjects, now laying in the grass. Limbs spread. “Yeah, I know. Don’t wanna strain my brain cells.” “All two of ‘em.” “Yup,” I start joining them in the grass. I turn and stare at them. They were so beautiful. In so many different ways. I loved every part of them, even the parts they thought unlovable. It was an unconditional kind of love. My favourite sort. I blink and continue. This is still a memory and I am forced to play it out as planned. Lest my brain twist it. “Anyway. I wanted to ask you. Do you think this’ll last? Us? This view. This life.” “I dunno. Prolly not, but that’s fine y’know?” “Yeah?” “Yeah,” Blaidd plants a little kiss on my cheek. “Things change, but that doesn’t mean things are gone. Got it? What’s with the existential questioning anyhow?” “I dunno. I guess I just get like that sometimes.” “Pft. Brains are weird,” Blaidd chuckles. “You gotta try livin’ with no thoughts sometime.” “Like you?” I look over at them. The grass only slightly gets in my eye, but that’s alright. I get to look at them and that makes it okay. “Yeah! Ex-act-ly.” I giggle and fall asleep, content And so, I fall up. My flesh begins to sear painlessly again as new scars begin to reform. I am no longer untouched, but rather, in the present again. I rise above the vastness and eventually into consciousness.
