Sprout Fight Prompt 3: Umbrella | Dandelion Dreams Palette
Somewhat a continuation of my last art, though I wasn't planning on making this a 2 parter. Ron's just having a good laugh at how much of a sad wet cat Poiyo looks in the rain.

Human Things that Confuse Knives
silly little things that us humans do or have that Knives finds weird or confusing. he's probably ooc since in reality he probably wouldn't care but he loves and cares you so<3
also Legato shows up once and you and him are best friends(Also probably ooc all I know is that he has blue hair and pronouns)
•the personification of objects he's watched you bump into tables or walls and most of the time you'd turn around and?? apologize? or even telling a pencil that was rolling to stay
•Knives asked you about it one day, stating in a pretty patronizing way that those objects aren't alive. you just kinda look at him for a second, before looking away, "huh, I don't know, I've never really thought about it, I just kinda? say it without thinking."
•even more confused if you have a stuffed animal that you talk to.
you're working on a little project, mumbling to yourself every now and then, when you sit up and turn towards your plush, "what do you think?"
Knives watches as you stay silent and he's about to ask what you mean when you nod assuredly, turning back to your project saying, "I think it's stupid too."
he stares at your back with a confused maybe even offended look as you work. did you just ask for it's opinion? hello? he's right there to answer questions and give you opinions! he blinks before looking away, no he's not slightly jealous, he's just very confused.)
•if you follow the 5 second rule, ngl, he's gonna think you're gross, even if the floor was just cleaned. if you're about to eat it, he's grabbing your wrist and snatching it with a napkin telling you not to eat it.
"aww, but our cat will eat off the floor sometimes," you say teasing him.
Knives scowls at you before turning and walking away. "Have some dignity." (he tries hard to ignore the way you burst out laughing.)
•the way humans just kinda forget things once in a while.
you walked into your shared bedroom, looking like you're about to ask him something, when your face just blanks. Knives is about to ask what you need when your eyebrows furrow as you say, "I was gonna ask you something, but I forgot what. oh well, I'll be back later when I remember."
and you're gone just like, as Knives stares at where you just were. It's only five seconds later when you're running back in asking him if he's free the next day.
•Knives knows to a degree that humans forget things, he's seen Conrad forget about things every now and then, but he kinda chalked it up to old age? so seeing you forget something every once in a while(or maybe even regularly) worries him a bit.
•Conrad has to assure him that this is just a normal human thing that can be worse for some. Knives doesn't quite believe it at first, but as long as you're safe and okay, that there's really nothing serious going, then he'll calm down. if you do have poor short term memory then he'll start giving you small reminders. "Have you taken your medicine yet?" "you have a meeting in a half hour."
•drinks or foods causing you to have nightmares or really weird dreams.
you were tossing and turning in bed and it was starting to get on Knives' nerves.
"why can't you fall asleep?" he askes when you turn around once more.
you sit up and look at him, replying, "I'm a bit hungry, I guess I didn't have enough dinner."
Knives raises an eyebrow, "why don't you go make a snack then?"
"I tend to get weird nightmares whenever I eat before sleeping," you respond nonchalantly, as if it wasn't one of the weirdest things you just said.
his eyebrows furrow in confusion at that. "what do you mean?"
"exactly what I said. I don't know, it's just something that happens to a lot of people. pretty weird, right?" he only nods in agreement.
•irrational fears. Knives knows those fears aren't something you can completely control, and he knows you know that they're irrational, but it still confuses him. he doesn't dwell on it much though, they're called irrational fears for a reason.
•sharing foods or drinks (especially if it tastes bad) Knives thinks it's pretty gross, you're basically sharing germs.
one time you had ordered a drink from a little shop in a town that Knives was 'visiting' even though he directly told you to stay in the truck.
when he and Legato come back with the plant, you're there idly sipping the drink and he glares at you. "I thought I told you to stay in the truck. what is that?"
you just hum, pulling the drink into your view to look at replying, "yeah I got thirsty so I bought this drink, but it tastes pretty bad. you wanna try it?"
Knives glare hardens, even though there's no real malice behind it. "of course not. why are you still drinking it?
"because I'm thirsty," you reply in a deadpan tone. you then turn towards Legato, gesturing to the drink. "you wanna try it?"
Legato stares at you for a second, before taking the drink. he takes a drink and his face immediately scrunches up in disgust, "ugh this tastes horrible."
there's a pause before he takes one last sip before handing it back to you as you laugh. "it really does! but it's so bad it's good isn't it? you're really missing out Knives!"
Knives rolls his eyes. he doesn't think he'll ever understand the curiosity and the urge to try things even if it may be horrible.
(he eyes you every time you feed the cat because he's heard you say 'hm I wonder what cat food tastes like.' you haven't tried it yet and he hopes the stare he's burning into your head will keep you from trying.)
(also, Vash on the other hand would eagerly take a sip before going bleuugh why would you make me try this;( )
•allergies themselves don't confuse him. in fact it furthers his ideal that humans are weak and inferior beings. it's how you ignore your allergies to eat or drink what you shouldn't. you know it'll make you miserable later so why? Knives will not comfort or care for you once your symptoms kick up, you brought this upon yourself even with his warnings.
•however! if you have a very serious or deadly food allergy, he will become very careful and stern with you. no, you can't have a taste or even a lick, even if it only causes you minor discomfort, Knives won't risk it. he's always making sure you have your epipen with you. he'll also double check food or medicine and read over the ingredients list to make sure. you're his human and you already have such a limited time together, he doesn't want to lose you to such a seemingly small thing.
(Also rip if you're allergic to UV rays, good luck on that planet. Knives might just keep you inside most of the time;( )
•this isn't something that really happens on Gunsmoke, but a person joints or bones hurting when the weather is about to change. when you woke up in the morning, you went out to the living room giving Knives a good morning before yawning.
he only gives a hum and as your stretching you say, "I think it's gonna rain soon."
Knives raises an eyebrow at that, looking out the window to see how gloomy it is. "what makes you say that?" he asks it in a bit of a sarcastic way.
"my legs hurt," you say joining him on the couch.
"what does that have to do with the weather?"
"oh something to do with the barometric pressure changing that affects your muscles or whatever."
Knives blinks. he didn't know that and part of his mind goes back to how humans really are weak, but he let's it pass. "I see." human bodies are odd he thinks.
•speaking of injuries/pain, Knives once encountered a man that was running from him trip and tumble down a rather long cliff. Knives walked to the cliff edge expecting to see the man's broken, unmoving body, however he's taken aback to see the man pretty much unscathed (apart from maybe some bruises and scratches.) the man gave himself a once over, looking up at Knives and then running away.
Knives thinks about that moment every once in a while, but especially now as you're talking about how one of the scientists broke their wrist tripping down the stairs. he's thinks a lot about it, how can human bodies be so weak yet also be so durable? he'll never admit he thought of that last part though
•mimicry. or like picking up habits from other people you hang out with. Knives never really payed attention to it when around the people who work under him, but he definitely notices how your speech patterns or body language change or grow over time. a small smirk appears on his face when he hears or sees you have picked up something from him and a bit of pride sparking within him.
it doesn't actually confuse, he supposes it's a way of connecting or natural thing, he just finds it a bit amusing. (until you've picked up an annoying word of catchphrase lol)(thinking of an isekai and you keep saying things that make no sense to literally everyone there. wtf does pog mean)
•running up to something in a shop window or even on the ground just because it's shiny. you look at whatever caught your eye for a couple of seconds before nodding and going back to Knives' side. he doesn't know what it is with you and shiny things.

The Moon and Sun (Big Sib Reader x Gon/Killua)
Ch 10: Into The Thick Of It
Synopsis: Congratulations, you've just entered the NGL!!!! A place of isolation and now Chimera Ants 😃 Your first task, try not to break down and snap with all the bodies you come across. Good luck and may you keep your promises🤝
-----------------------
You weren't too happy to say the least. Once again, you had all piled into a jeep that was much too small for the amount of people riding in it. Smooshed in the front with Kite and the driver while the others were elbow to elbow in the back.
On the bright side, you didn't have to worry about being drooled on. But you did have to deal with two very pouty boys who weren't happy about the new seating arrangement.
"Why can't one of us just sit on your lap?" Gon suggested.
"Kid, I'm not a chair. And it's stuffy already with just three of us in the front. No way in hell I'm having another person next to me and one more on my lap." You were quick to shoot the idea down.
"Then sit in the back with us." Killua said, scooching over to make room.
But there was no way you were gonna sit in the back with four more people.
Nope.
Not in this heat.
"You two can last one car ride without me. You're big boys, aren't you?"
A huff of irritation from the small assassin and a grumble from the boy in green.
To your surprise, a certain silver haired hunter decided to join in on the banter.
"Don't worry. I promise to take good care of them up here for you."
And the small, offended gasps from the two of them was enough to make you laugh. A bit of peace before the inevitable descent into the NGL.
So pouty and upset, they begrudgingly sat in the back. Not without making sure to poke you every now and then, just to get you to turn around.
The ride itself wasn't too bad with the driver making idle conversation.
"You heading to the NGL, huh? You know they believe that the best way to live is as naturally as possible."
Ah yes, you all totally didn't do any research whatsoever before coming here.
You really shouldn't give him any shit for that. He was just trying to help fill the silence. It's not like many people visited this place anyways. So to him, it was probably strange to see ten people asking to go all at once.
"They're pretty weird for living out there, but you folks are even weirder for wanting to visit em'."
Before you could question him on that, he continued on.
"I don't have a clue what's going on there, but I've already driven in about 10 big groups just like you guys today alone."
Perhaps more hunters who heard the news of a giant Chimera Ant? Still, ten groups of people? It was strange.
"Did you say ten?!?" Gon exclaimed, popping up from his seat behind you.
"That's right," the driver confirmed.
You, however, were a little concerned with something else.
"Seatbelt!" You scolded.
"Oh, right! Sorry." A small 'click' sounded off.
God, you really were starting to sound like a parent. What were you, Safety Sal? You really should stop babying them.
"So if most of the other groups are already arriving, then we're among the last." Kite noted, effectively snapping you from your thoughts.
"At least we'll have some help," you mumbled.
Oh how wrong you were.
-------------------------
They weren't kidding about the nature part. The entrance to the NGL itself was a pathway between two giant trees. You could sense people moving about inside them. A river separating the two territories.
A beautiful sight if you had to say. But there was that nagging feeling reminding you of how strict these people could be. Well, the government they had.
"Prepare yourselves everyone," Kite warned.
"The ants are a concern, but the NGL isn't the eco-friendly group it claims to be."
Right, the drugs. And where there were illegal drugs, there were probably illegal crime bosses. Thank goodness you didn't have to deal with that type of hell growing up.
Approaching the first tree, you already didn't like the men that greeted your group there. Smiles fake and disingenuous. Auras gross with deceit and annoyance.
"May I ask what brings you here?" Defensive too. About their people or secrets, you couldn't tell.
"We're on a hunt." Kite stated before continuing.
"A biohazard-class insect might have infiltrated your country."
The man let out a hum before answering.
"Well, if you're professional hunters, I'm certain you're aware that we cannot deny you entry into our land."
Ah yes. You were all totally hunters. Yup. Each and every one of you. Bonafide hunters.
You thanked whatever greater being was up there that nobody had outed you.
"Right this way." One of the men turned around and led your group in.
Like you expected, the Big Wigs in charge didn't enforce their rules onto themselves. Inside were various people typing away on computers. And if you had to guess why, it was most likely due to a loophole.
"Wait, you're using computers and machines here?" Killua confronted.
"We are not technically within the bounds of the NGL proper yet." One of the men answered.
And there it was. Five seconds and you already decided you despised this place.
"This area is used for diplomacy and trading information."
Diplomacy???? Didn't they communicate through letters??? And what other country would they be feuding with to need diplomacy? Weren't they isolated?
One look at this guy's aura and you could tell he was lying. Still, it would do nobody any good to call out their hypocrisy. You'd just have to suck it up and let it go.
"I see. Are there similar facilities within?" Kite questioned.
"No sir, not a single one. No machines of any kind are allowed inside the borders of the NGL." One of the guys answered.
"Of course, visitors aren't allowed to bring technology in with them either. We're very strict about that kind of thing." Another spoke up.
Wow, it was almost like they killed someone over that exact thing. Who would've thought?
God you hated primitive societies. Your respect was dwindling by the seconds.
"Which means you must remove metals, petroleum derived materials, and the like. Anything of that nature on your person before you can enter." The same man informed.
So long shitty sneakers and hello paper thin shoes.
"D-d-do you mean l-like my glasses!?!" Lin asked.
A shit eating grin on the man's face. Like he was purposely trying to get rid of as much people as he could with technicalities.
"That's right. If your clothes, belts, shoes, even your underwear contain any plastic, chemicals, or metal, you must remove them." He said eyeing the two girls.
"That isn't funny!" Spin snapped.
"You want us to strip naked!?!"
You stood protectively in front of the boys, sending a glare towards the man. Would you kill him depending on his answer?
Yes, yes you would.
"That's not necessary. All-natural clothing is available for purchase just upstairs." He said pointing to a small staircase.
You should have guessed they would've been money hungry. How else would they be able to afford all this nice stuff while their people suffered beyond the bend.
"And if there are any implants inside your body, dental implants, for example, made of gold, silver, or even silicon prosthetics that cannot be removed... I'm sorry to say, but you won't be allowed to enter."
Discriminating, are we? Wow, these guys are even worse than the shit you had to put up with.
"You understand." His smile was fake, aura cocky now that the size of your group was cut in half.
You know what? Maybe you should start rooting for the ants at this point.
-------------------------
You were in a bit of a dilemma at the moment.
You'd chosen clothes that were as close to what you were currently wearing as possible. So far so good, right? Welllll, the issue was just how the hell you were going to pay for them.
Truth was, you had not a cent to your name. Not even a flimsy wallet to open and have a fly come out of. Up until now, money had never really been a point of focus. Or at least up until two years ago.
Goddamnit.
You couldn't even afford shit clothes to bypass the NGL restrictions.
Which meant....
"Guess I have to stay behind after all."
How pathetic were you.
Unable to afford a basic 'necessity'. How the hell did you plan on taking care of two kids when you couldn't even take care of yourself? It was quite frankly disgraceful.
Unbeknownst to you, curious eyes watched your internal struggle. Everyone else was ready or close to being ready, and there you were clutching a shirt looking like somebody died. Dark circles impossibly darker.
Then he heard it.
"Guess I have to stay behind after all."
It immediately put a frown on the small boy's face. Gon just couldn't wrap his head around why you would say a thing like that. You'd all agreed extensively to come, so why were you backing out?
You'd been so adamant about coming, excited even. (Which was rare.) So it didn't make any sense. At least not until you mumbled out something else.
"Maybe I should've been a hunter. Least' then I'd have a few bucks to spare. Damn."
Was that what you were worried about?
You should've just asked.
It's not a big deal anyway. It was certainly nothing to be ashamed of considering he didn't get his first phone until Leorio bought him one. And it's not like him and Killua would say no if you needed help to pay.
The three of you were supposed to stick together. Were supposed to help each other. You were the big sibling and they were the little brothers.
He may not have been as well off as Killua, but he was still a hunter with plenty of funds to spare. Especially since beating Greed Island. If you needed something, he would gladly get it for you. Just like if they needed you, you would always be there.
Before he could pitch the offer, someone else approached you. Someone who he was getting the feeling liked being in your presence as much as you did his.
And Gon wasn't sure he was okay with that yet. But he appreciated someone looking after you. Someone his own father had trusted and now you did as well.
--------------------
"Something wrong?" A familiar voice sounded from behind you.
Realistically, you should've sensed Kite's presence. But the stress of figuring out a way to pay had distracted you from everything else going on.
"Um... No?" Your voice cracked at the end. God, even you knew you didn't sound convincing. Even if you did, Kite could see you. He knew you were hiding something, and you knew that he knew.
It took him all of five seconds to figure out what was wrong. You hadn't made a move to change into NGL appropriate clothing. You were looking down with gears turning in that head of yours. And your aura was upset with disappointment.
You were a stubborn one alright.
"Here." A card was placed in front of you.
Your tired eyes widened. What was he doing? You looked up at him, mouth open and ready to protest because wow.
You didn't like asking for help. Didn't like owing people. Didn't like how they always seemed to expect something back in return for their good deed.
"Don't worry about it. We need all the help we can get, remember?" And you were completely flabbergasted by what Kite said next.
"Don't let a few travel expenses get in your way. Plus I don't think those boys of yours would be too thrilled if you couldn't go."
A smile and a small pat to your back.
"We'll be waiting for you when you're done."
There was no ulterior motive.
He'd done it simply out of the kindness in his heart.
You were not used to that. Not used to others doing things for you. It had warmth spreading across your face and you were glad the others couldn't see you. Getting all embarrassed over something small like this. (It wasn't all that small to you)
"I'll pay you back for this one day."
You'd mumbled it to yourself, but he barely caught it as he descended down where the rest of the group was.
And like before, he wouldn't mention it. But the soft smile he had was a telltale sign he'd heard you all the same.
----------
Your group of ten had dwindled down to six. You and the boys and Kite with Podungo and Stick. Ever a growing pain in your ass, the NGL authorities ran several tests on all of you.
Past the first tree and into the second, where a lady informed the group of what was to take place.
"The inspection area is over there. Of course there's a physical exam, as well as an interview."
Sounded simple enough until she kept talking.
"Then once those are completed, there will also be X-rays, ultrasound, and metal scans."
You hated this place.
"Ultrasound? The hell are they gonna find with that. Surprise, guess who's pregnant?" Your comment was heard by the lady explaining things, who promptly laughed.
"Yes, well you'd be surprised by what we're able to pick up with that."
As long as they were just scans, you supposed it wasn't too outrageous. Now if they started poking and prodding, you'd break a machine or two.
"Security's rather tight," Kite noted.
The lady flicked on a light switch before continuing to speak.
"It is... because people have smuggled guns in by hiding the parts inside their bodies. We often find cameras or cell phones in people's rectums."
Your face scrunched up in disgust. Who the fuck was shoving a gun up their ass???
"Some have even trained animals to carry laptops across the border once they themselves were inside."
Okay now that one made more sense.
After the woman finished explaining, the testing began. Scans of your body and brain were taken. Some blood work was done, much to your dismay. And last but not least, the interview, which mainly consisted of questions about health and any possible criminal background.
It was draining, but you were somewhat glad the boys were fascinated by it. They got to have some fun despite the unusual circumstances.
"Well it looks like all of you are clean." The woman announced.
The same men from earlier were waiting by the exit as you all approached.
"Thank you all for your patience. You may enter now, and godspeed."
"Welcome to the NGL!"
The first thing you noticed was the air. It somehow felt cleaner. The second thing you noticed was the land outstretched before you. It seemed never ending. From the oaks down below to the prairie just before you. It was peaceful. Like home. (But you couldn't really call it that anymore, could you?)
Eagerly, your eyes scanned as far as they would go. So much to see with not enough time to enjoy it. No auras besides the one's next to you. Faint traces from the woodland creatures hiding away. Quiet too, but not eerily so.
Serene was the word for it.
You take it back. The NGL wasn't so bad afterall. Just the people in charge. It had you thinking back to kid with boots five sizes too big and a hand stitched shirt that was falling apart at the seams. A gap-toothed smile as they cartwheeled over an open field, laughing with another like the rest of the world wasn't there.
Your first stop in the NGL was a small barn for suitable transportation. Honestly, you should've known a monetary transaction would be involved. And yet it still surprised you.
12,000 jenny for just one horse. For one day.
You tensed up once more, trying to figure something out. You'd already wasted enough money that wasn't yours. You didn't want to waste anymore.
And yet.....
There was Kite, once again taking the brunt of the expenses.
Not because anyone asked him to.
But because he wanted to.
Justifying it with 'It's not a problem. We need a decent form of travel that won't drain us. Three should be just fine.'
It was mind boggling how nonchalant he was being about this. The same question of why. He didn't gain anything from doing this.
So why?
The same reason he had made you a real promise.
He was a good person.
You were not.
But you would try. You'd pay him back in full if it was one of the last things you ever did. He deserved that much at least.
Upon entering the stable, all of the horses trotted towards Gon and Kite. Neighing and making little content noises. Seems the part about animals liking hunters was true. It was an endearing sight, if you must say.
And that small part of your brain that liked to tease, just couldn't resist.
"Hey Snow White. Leave some horses for the rest of us, will ya?"
A light shade of red consumed Kite's face upon hearing you. The shade darkening as Stick spoke up with a 'Hahaha! I get it!' and Podungo with a 'I've never seen him this embarrassed before.'
You were going to be a distraction. (A pleasant one, albeit.)
You'd approached and lifted Gon up, helping him onto the horse that liked him the most. The other boy following close behind you.
"I'll be taking my dwarf back, thank you." Eyes crinkled with mischief and aura playful as you spoke.
"Yeah, so does that make you the wicked witch or something," Killua directed towards you while you lifted him up.
To which you responded by letting go and dropping him.
"Hey! I was kidding! Y/n don't be mad. Big siiib!"
"Don't you 'big sib' me, young man! And don't think for a second those puppy dog eyes will work on me! They're not nearly as powerful as Gon's!" You lectured with your hands on your hips. Scolding demeanor melting away at the sound of the other boy's voice.
"Please, Y/n. Help Killua." Honey colored eyes staring wide up at you. And he may or may not have done it to see if it was true.
"Gah! I hate it when you two work together against me. You little ghouls." You grumbled, lifting up the small assassin once more. Who seemed very pleased by the outcome.
It was funny in a way. How you could never really say no to Gon. It made him feel special. But he did wonder why. Did he remind you of someone you used to know?
You stared at the horse in front of you, who was already not liking you. And you didn't want to upset it further by attempting to hop on it.
"You've never ridden a horse before?"
You were once again too lost in your thoughts to notice Kite's presence. He was two for two today. In both surprising you and figuring out what was wrong.
"Course' not. Do I look like a cowboy to you?" Not only had you never ridden a horse before, you were also not the best with animals as it would seem.
"You know, I do kinda see it." A teasing grin of his own on the taller male's face. He was starting to get the hang of dealing with you and your smart aleck remarks.
"Har har. Now help me up this thing, Ranger Rick. If I try to get on by myself, I'm 80% sure it'll kill me."
"Only 80?" Kite hoisted you up, and for a split second you were surprised by his strength.
"Gotta give myself a fighting chance. I'm not a complete wimp." You gave a small pat to the top of the horse's head once you were seated.
"Could've fooled me." Kite had effortlessly climbed on behind you. The smell of pine and artificial sweetness filled your senses, the same way the scent of fresh rain filled his.
"Everyone ready!" Kite called out.
A resounding 'yes' from the five of you.
------------------
It was odd, what you were feeling. When you thought you'd sense a sizable amount of bloodlust, it would be gone in an instant. Making you wonder if it was even there in the first place. And just when you thought you'd managed to sense a person, the aura disappeared.
It didn't help that the NGL was so big. It didn't make things easier for you to assess. And you didn't want to sound the alarm for things that weren't there.
But you were suspicious.
Your eyes were never wrong. Your ability was never wrong. So just what the hell was happening, you couldn't be so sure. Maybe you were having an off day? The things you sensed were far away, too far for you to make an accurate assessment anyways.
Goddamnit.
At least the company was great. Stick and Podungo behind with Gon and Killua next to you. Kite seated behind you with the reins of the horse you dubbed 'Gordy.'
A very thicc boy who had warmed up to you after petting his head a few times.
There was, however, uninvited guests as well. Two 'translators' who as far as you could tell, were lying. They probably wanted to see if your group had managed to smuggle something in.
You could feel unease from Kite the deeper you descended into the NGL. He could probably sense it too. That something was off.
And while you didn't want to disrupt his train of thought, the tension radiating off of him was making your own anxieties flair. It was too early to panic and too early to worry. Nothing solid had been found yet.
So did what you had been wanting to do for a while. Now that his hands were occupied, you made a swipe at his hat, one that he didn't see coming and couldn't really stop.
"Told you I'd take it from you." Your smile was triumphant as you readjusted yourself and plopped his trademark hat on your head.
He was stunned for a second, processing what the hell just happened. Shock replacing the unease.
Did you just?
He looked down at you, noticing your smug expression as you twisted yourself to meet his eye.
"You don't play fair." He said at last.
You'd successfully distracted him once again. A bashful expression on his face.
And now that you could see him properly, an embarrassed one overtook yours as well.
Why was he so pretty?
Unawares of the thoughts going through his mind. The ones that said you looked nice with his hat falling down your face and covering your eyes. A familiar playful smirk right under them.
"Wow, pretty shady under here. I can actually see without the sun burning into my retinas. I hope you know I'm not giving this back."
A huff of amusement was heard.
"You're trouble, you know that?" He shouldn't be letting you distract him like this. He should be focusing on the current task at hand.
And yet, the playfulness from your aura kept pulling him in. Your crooked smile that was quickly becoming a favorite. That he had no idea wasn't there before.
"If I'm so bad, you would've stopped putting up with me at the airship." You did still feel a little guilty about that.
The exchange between the two of you not going unnoticed. A pair of icy eyes glancing over and frowning. Choosing to sit down properly since you hadn't noticed he was standing. Upset at the fact that your attention wasn't focused on him or Gon for once.
Killua was hesitant to let new people into his circle. He and Gon were best friends, and when that girl Ritz had tried to join, he hated it. He didn't like how easily she got along with Gon. Didn't like how he felt inferior in her presence because she was more helpful in 5 minutes than he had been the whole day.
But he was never forgotten or pushed away. Never disregarded. Only feeling insignificant because his family told him he would never have friends. That they would all leave him. But Gon had stayed.
Now there was you. You were a part of that circle now. And back at YorkNew, it was okay. You were happy in a way that was rarely seen. You'd all gotten swept away in the presence of new people. He minded a little, but let it go.
Because Killua was okay with friendship. But he was not okay with whatever this was. The cheeky smiles and blushy faces. He'd joked about it that first day you all met Kite. Teased you for it because he knew it would get on your nerves. But now that it was actually happening....
You'd forget about them if this continued. Leave them behind for him. You'd already refused to sit next to them in that car. You didn't offer to ride with them at the stable. You didn't even ask them for help when you couldn't pay. (Thanks Gon, for filling him in.)
It wasn't fair.
But he knew it wasn't really his decision to make. Wasn't really his place either. You'd already made up your mind the second you made that promise back on the airship.
Well fine. Then this guy would just have to prove himself if he was gonna take you away. And it would take a lot to impress this Zoldyck. Selfish or not, you were his big sibling. The first real one he had. The first good one. If he was being honest, you and Alluka were the only real family he had.
And the off chance you were just being friendly, that you didn't see Kite in any other way, then he'd back down. But the way you would just smile that crooked grin and tell him your secrets, said otherwise. The way Kite had started to subtly check up on you told him otherwise.
------------------------------
It'd been hours since you started the search for the Chimera Ant, but there was no luck. No sign of anything out of the ordinary. So begrudgingly, you all stopped to take a break and rethink things.
You joined Gon and Killua on the ground as they figured out alternate routes to take.
"I think we should follow along the coastline and check out all the villages. If we search them and nothing unusual turns up, then it's probably not even in this country." Gon speculated, pointing towards the map of the NGL.
It was optimistic at best to assume the ant wasn't here. Too much didn't add up for you to believe otherwise.
"Yeah, maybe. But that's assuming those guys were telling us the truth back there," Killua said in reference to the men back at the NGL border.
The ones who said they hadn't heard any news about a giant ant. The very same who said that if they had, their people wouldn't care.
Eyes fell on you for confirmation.
"They were not. But it's not like they could really do anything about the situation. Not as long as it didn't directly benefit them." You answered.
"And you didn't pick anything up?" Killua asked.
"It's hard to say and that's what worries me. Things keep appearing and disappearing. And everything I'm getting is very faint."
A beat of silence.
"They're still following us, aren't they?" Gon questioned.
The translators that had followed you here stood a little ways away from the expedition team. You thought they would've quit by now.
"Unfortunately. But try to ignore them, okay?" You gave a ruffle to his hair, feeling his mood lighten a little.
"They say they're here in case we meet unknown tribes and need interpreters or intermediaries. But they're obviously spies." Killua grumbled.
"My guess is they're hoping to catch us with technology so they can kick us out." Or execute you, but you wouldn't put that idea into their heads.
You sensed a familiar calm aura approach. You were glad you caught it this time, not wanting to be caught off guard for the third time today.
"Well I never expected the people here to be of any help," Kite admitted, catching the attention of both boys.
"But my instincts are saying... it's here somewhere." The three of you tensed at his words.
"And how accurate would you say your instincts are?" You lightly challenged. You didn't want to push, but you didn't exactly like the odds of anything that was less than certain. Not in this scenario.
"As accurate as those eyes of yours."
Damn.
You were starting to have a bad feeling about this.
---------------------------------------
The six of you were back traveling on a rocky path. There was nothing you could do besides continue on, hoping for a lead since Kite had been so sure.
Another flicker of aura before it disappeared. Too far to tell if you were imagining things. But a sick feeling settling in your stomach said differently.
You couldn't tell if people were being killed or knocked out. Woken up or being born. Couldn't exactly see how many there were. Your eyes were becoming strained the more you pushed, so you eventually gave up.
You leaned back onto Kite who, surprisingly, made no move to take his hat back. A part of you was satisfied by the fact. The bigger part of you, however, was concerned.
He was serious now that his suspensions were confirmed. But underneath the calm, was a festering worry. Safe to say you both felt everything was not what it seemed.
You chose to divert your attention elsewhere, for the time being. Opting to check up on the others. Gon's aura was determined as always. He was okay. Killua's was starting to radiate unease. But the leading emotion was confidence. He was okay.
Podungo and Stick were nervous, and you couldn't really blame them. From what Kite had told you, they weren't the best at combat. If you did manage to confront a Chimera Ant, things wouldn't go so well for them. However, you could feel their trust as well. Trust that was most likely directed at Kite's ability to keep them safe.
You didn't bother with the two translators tailing the group. They weren't worth the effort. They hadn't necessarily done anything wrong, but their intentions were clear as day.
You sighed and focused your tired eyes up ahead. A nap was very much needed.
'Zzzzz!'
That noise...
It was loud.
And heading right towards your group.
Your face scrunched up at the small swarm of bees. They had traces of nen on them. How bizarre. Did they belong to a Chimera Ant?
No
Not likely.
There were no traces of malice or bloodlust. Just frightened desperation.
A scared nen user?
"Stop."
Your command had everyone reaching for their horse's reins. Your tone was one that left no room for argument.
The bees in question came closer, small bundles of paper clutched in their little arms. You could feel sadness from them.
Could insects be sad?
It seemed like it as they dropped the folded paper into Kite's hand, then one in Gon's. Kite opened up the small letter in front of you.
He leaned over your shoulder to read the message, aura growing heavy with tension.
'H E L P! C H I ME R A AN T N E S T
R o C K Y AR E A
N O TI F Y H u N T ER A S S Oc I A T I On!'
A pit formed in the bottom of your stomach as you finished reading.
It was red ink, you told yourself. Just red ink. (Pens were not allowed in the NGL)
A hand reached for yours, folding your fingers to make signs.
'Not good. Dangerous. Can you three handle it?'
You were grateful for the temporary distraction this silent conversation gave. You didn't want to dwell on the 'red ink' for much longer.
'No backing out. My boys are strong. Can handle it. Ask yourself.'
Your signs were faster, but there was a noticeable tremor with your movements. And he briefly wondered what the cause of it was. You weren't scared, were you?
Kite would leave it for now. No point in putting more stress onto whatever had you feeling that way. So, he glanced over at the two boys who were watching with keen interest at your interaction.
"It'll be risky." He warned.
"You sure you wanna come along?"
The image of a small family torn apart because of hubris. He didn't want to see that. So Kite would confirm as many times as it took until he was convinced the outcome wouldn't happen. That these boys were tough and wouldn't die. That you would be strong enough to protect them and look after yourself.
"Yeah."
"We're professionals, aren't we?"
You were right. Those boys didn't hesitate to give their answer. Resolve that almost mirrored your own in their eyes.
It would be enough, for now.
"Miss translator, I'm sorry. But we really must hurry." Kite informed one of the uninvited guests.
A small smirk made its way into your face at the implication of his words. Maybe just this once you'd show off.
"I'm sure the horses can gallop a bit faster if it's necessary." The translator offered.
"Sorry, sweetheart." You said as you dismounted from Gordy.
"I'm afraid we're gonna have to go on foot for this one. Sturdy as they are, the horses won't nearly be fast enough."
You walked over to Gon and Killua and helped them down. Both of them grinning up at you in anticipation.
You could hear Kite from behind you address Podungo and Stick. Letting them know to meet up with the rest of his team and inform the Hunter Association.
You could feel the fondness from his aura harden as he turned to face you three.
"Keep up or I'll leave you behind." Kite warned, who was surprised to see the boys already stretching.
"Yup, and right back at you." Killua said.
"Okay, I'm ready!" Gon added.
All three of you looking smug, like there was a secret just between the three of you. And there was. One that was sure to leave the silver haired hunter speechless.
You might've been a little rusty, but damnit if you weren't competitive. Especially with your little sun and moon egging you on.
"Ha! Watch it, princess. You're the one who's gonna have to keep up." Your aura was cocky.
Were you challenging him?
"Boys, what's step 3 of my ability?"
"Speed!!!!" They cheered as they finished stretching.
"Heck Yeah! So how's about I give you a head start? Let's see the progress you've both made since Greed Island!"
"I bet you'll have to use your nen this time!"
"Yeah! We won't make it easy for you to keep up!"
You crouched down to their level with a wide grin.
"Oh yeah? Tell ya what, if I can't catch up to you guys, then I'll carry you anywhere you want for a whole week."
"Deal!"
Kite watched the interaction a little flabbergasted. You were testing the boys at a time like this? No, that wasn't right. You were playing with them in a way that felt like training.
Giving incentives for them to do better.
How completely odd.
But he couldn't deny the way your interactions with the boys had him softening.
'They'll grow on you.'
Yeah. All three of you were growing on him. Ging's son, the Zoldyck boy, and their protector.
"Let's go!" Kite took off with the boys hot on his trail. But not before stealing back his signature hat while you were distracted.
You let out a protest of 'Hey!' as they shrank away from your line of sight.
Their speed was decent, but not enough to give you any real trouble. You'd have to use nen. Just a smidge though. A damn shame. You were hoping to break in a good sweat.
You'd give them five more seconds to leave your base line of vision. You crouched down in a starting position, letting nen coat your legs for the first time in months. (Thanks for that Razor)
"You're not worried about them?" Kite questioned the duo.
"About Y/n? You've got a lot to learn about them." There was pride in Killua's aura as he answered.
"They're so fast, that even Genthru couldn't land a single hit with their leg broken." Gon bragged.
Both boys seemed to light up at the thought of you. Well your prowess, more like. But there was a swell of affection in their aura as well.
They really loved you, didn't they?
Kite's thoughts were cut short by a blur zooming by. A familiar tired presence accompanying it.
---------------
You could smell it before you saw it. A metallic coppery stench that stopped you in your tracks. All mirth gone from your expression. Like your very soul was taken from your body.
You didn't know exactly what was beyond the clearing, but you knew it wasn't good. You expected the possibility, but you didn't expect to come across it so soon. You weren't too sure if you were prepared mentally for whatever lied ahead.
You could sense three familiar auras approach, having caught up at last. Temporarily unaware of the sight they were about to see.
"Ah damnit, they beat us here!" Killua whined.
"I thought we really had them this ti- Y/n? Are you okay?" Concern quickly replacing the bright expression on Gon's face.
Your demeanor was stiff. Head hanging low and hands clenched. You didn't say anything, just pointed forwards.
What could you even say?
It was then that the scent of blood finally reached their noses. Kite was the first to enter the clearing, not wanting to waste anymore time if it was the worst-case scenario.
Killua was second, casting a regretful glance towards you before he left. There was nothing he could do that would make things easier for you.
Gon was the last, not wanting to leave you by yourself in case something happened. Your limits were understood and respected. He wouldn't push you to see if you didn't want to. And if you needed a moment to gather yourself before heading forwards, then you would have it. So he waited a little longer before Killua called out to him.
Disgust, shock, and anger.
Very different reactions you were sensing from each of them. Seems you were right to hang back. And yet, there was this nagging feeling telling you this wasn't right. You shouldn't be sitting back like a coward.
You had a job to do: track down the ants.
And no matter what, you had to follow through. You didn't want to be a burden. Didn't want to hold anyone back. There were temporary solutions to your little problem that would be wise to exploit right about now.
So you closed your eyes as you stepped forward, heading where the scent of blood was strongest.
You were used to the dark. Senses attuned to navigate it. And it wasn't like you would be completely lost, so long as you could sense the aura of the others. It would be enough to lead you for now.
"This is a bullet casing." You recognized the voice as Killua's.
"But I thought anything mechanical was forbidden here, isn't it?" It was Gon who spoke up next, aura radiating anger.
"Just because it's forbidden, doesn't mean it's impossible for things like this to exist here." Your tense demeanor hadn't changed, but you were there nonetheless. The feeling of eyes on you as you emerged from the underbrush.
"And it means the underground rulers of the NGL weren't only manufacturing drugs, but weapons." Kite confirmed.
The swirl of anger only increased in Gon's aura at the news. Seems you weren't the only one who hated the NGL.
"Hey, Killua. Give the bullet here for a sec."
You rarely called him and Gon by their names. Which meant.... Things must've been a lot worse than he thought.
He placed the casing in your outstretched palm. Your fingers traced around it, the tension on your face changing into shock.
"An automatic?!?" Not good. Horrific in fact if an ant had been the one wielding it.
"You're able to tell what gun it was?" Killua asked.
"I used to know a guy whose ability was a bullet that never missed. My best friend actually. Safe to say I know what I'm talking about. I'd give a visualization, but..."
"It's fine." You were doing what you could, so he and Gon would do what you couldn't.
You crouched down towards what you assumed was a puddle of blood. You activated your nen and placed your hand on top of what you realized was a lot more liquid than you were expecting.
It was just water. It was just water. It was just water.
Warm water that had been out in the sun for a while.
Water that stuck to your skin and stained it red.
Just water.
"Whoever this was stood no chance. If they were even human." You noted.
"Yeah but, judging by this...." Killua trailed off. Unease taking over the previous confidence.
"This wasn't a human's doing. Most likely, it was a Chimera Ant." Kite's words left no room for doubt.
Great. Now you had to deal with coked up ants wielding weapons. Just fantastic.
"If my instincts are correct and the Chimera Ants are using firearms now.... I hate to say it, but it's possible the NGL'S underground rulers have already been fed to the queen."
Fed?
It was then that everything clicked for you. Everything you'd been picking up wasn't a strange coincidence.
"So my senses weren't off then."
"You mean the things disappearing and reappearing, right?" The anger from Gon was slowly dissipating, but still very much there.
"Yeah. People have been dying...And the Chimera Ants have been rapidly reproducing. If we don't pick up the pace, things are going to get worse for everyone." With that said, you made a small circle with your unoccupied hand, coating the space with your nen.
You wouldn't be able to stare head on at what happened here, but someone else could.
"Kite, let's confirm those suspicions here and now. Be my eyes for a bit and tell me what you're able to deduce."
It wasn't that you didn't trust the boys, but Kite had the most experience out of the two of them. He would be able to pick up on things they wouldn't have. And right now, you needed to be as precise as possible. No more messing around.
You felt a hand guide your wrist upwards. The disgusts from Kite's aura doubling at what he saw through your little spy glass.
Your ability had highlighted the scene in a way that felt more horrific than the carnage already there.
Small fragments of bone and bullet casings hidden away by the blood. Traces of saliva with a faint feeling of bloodlust. The most notable was a trail of dried bloody footprints leading away from the site.
Footprints that weren't human.
Your ability was proving to be more precise than his En. Whoever had trained you did a hell of a job. It was only a matter of how long you'd be able to hang on with your hemophobia. (Which wasn't hard to deduce from your reaction towards both the note and sight in front of you.)
He let go of your wrist, you and the boys waiting for his assessment.
"What'd you get?" You asked wiping your bloodied hand on your slacks. The nen you summoned long gone.
There was no beating around the bush. The ants were here, and they'd already begun consuming humans. Inheriting their brutality from the Underground rulers.
What was it you said?
If the ants had complex human thoughts, it'd be a lot harder to track them down?
"This will be an unprecedented biohazard."
All of you would have to be on guard.

An: Originally, this chapter was gonna go all the way to the dreaded episode 86, but something happened and I'm going to need to take a short break from writing. So I figured I'd give y'all a shorter version of what I had planned. I'll only be gone for just a few weeks until I can sort myself out, then I'll be back stronger 💪💪 I just don't want to force myself to write and it doesn't come out good. So for now-

hello i saw you in the notes talking about arthur and morgana's relationship and i would love to hear you talk more please. i am unhinged about them.
(no pressure tho if you don't feel like it)
this is literally the best thing someone could say to me after a 16 hr flight 😭 bless u anon
also me too. so i'm just gonna ramble ab my headcannons and then also their canon relationship below the cut bc it is so interesting to me and i really have a lot to say and i really mean. A LOT.
so let's start off with season 1/pre-canon and the source of all their problems: uther pendragon. uther pendragon is fucking insane and possibly one of the worst parents ever,,, like def top 10 worst fathers i think
pre-season 1 time line as I see it:
- he marries ygraine from the house of du bois after becoming king,, probably like 3-7 years after,, he claimed he loved her (heavily debatable!!) and she seemed to as well so they assumedly married for love
- now uther has a best friend at the time: Gorlois (now if this is his name-name or surname i'm not sure so i'm just going to go say surname since they're nobility) This man is known by Uther had the bravest man he's ever met,, and his wife the Lady Vivienne probably lost him in battle bc later in season 3,, Uther says a much and says Lady Vivienne was: "lonely so he consoled her"...
- now, this is where my headcannon comes in,, I'm pretty damn sure morgana is older than arthur,, meaning that I'm pretty sure that Uther cheated on ygraine out of that shared grief and around this time ygraine probably was showing growing signs of being barren/unable to become pregnant which probably worried the court ngl
- so morgana conception happens,, vivienne goes away,, gorlois thinks she's his,, during this time uther finally gives in and sacrifices ygraine's life for arthur's and ultimately blames it on arthur/all of magic (remember the talk w uther and nimueh when he says: i wish he'd [arthur] never been born bc it meant losing ygraine essentially like,,,. ok. wow.)
- now season 1: there is so much evidence uther is an abusive shit:
- he throws both of his children in jail whenever they toe the line in a way he doesn't find amusing (ie: s1e4 and s1e12)
- arthur straight up says (he's about 20/21 atp): i never knew you were proud of me,, in fact i always thought i was a disapointment (meaning: uther never went out of his way to show him otherwise for a solid 20-21 years.)
and uther doesn't actually say he's proud of him he just goes: i wouldn't wish for another son (after drugging him so he wouldn't duel being a hypocritical king)
so all of this: leads back to morgana and arthur's relationship
morgana and arthur in season 1 have a somewhat tentative relationship,, we can see that most of the kingdom thinks the two of them are going to marry one another (including themselves at times) ie: gwen saying morgana would make a great queen one day,, but they also bicker all the damn time
snipes here and there,, but ultimately it usually comes down to their differences in how they reacted to their upbringing from uther:
arthur became the dutiful/exceptional son: he became a knight at 20 (usually took knights till mid twenties-early thirties), later we learn he led druid raids pre-canon (this traumatized him also again fuck uther) this would also be exceptional seeing as he probably wasn't a fully fledged knight even then, and is known throughout Camelot (and most of Albion tbh) as a master swordsman,, and while he did have his own thoughts on magic he often bit his tounge in front of his father in order to prove himself,, we also know that unlike morgana: he learned exactly how to navigate around uther so he could do what he wanted against uther's will while not embarrassing in front of the court (ie: when he went to go save gwen after saying to his father and the court that it was probably a lost cause)
morgana was the people's princess,, but she def got the "i am my father's daughter" syndrome BADDDDD: we see in s1 she's often stood up to Uther in front of the court numerous times, so much so that when she gets thrown into prison (s1e12) it's not the first time,, arthur tells her: "i promised him that this would be the last time you acted out against him like this" (paraphrasing) and morgana replies "you're a good man, unlike your father" (line that makes me insane)
they are parallel from the start within these two episodes specifically!!! many may argue morgana was good and kind from the beginning,, but she often did things FOR HER OWN MOTIVES!!! when she helped gwen's father to escape without consulting gwen,, it confirmed it for me. she may have convinced herself it was for gwen,, but she never even asked,, she did it to piss of uther not thinking it all the way through,, opening his cell and leaving him to fend for himself against a bataillon of knights. now i'm not saying morgana has never done anything out of pure kindness,,
but whereas arthur is constantly set up as a righteous and noble man in his heart but his actions can appear to be... for lack of a better word, extremely dickish
morgana's actions appear to be kind and generous, but can often endanger those around her in her conquest for the things she wants, sometimes ending in death. (AGAIN NOT ALWAYS!!!)
NOW this leads me to the fact that once again they were the only two who grew up under Uther really and are the only ones who know what that's like,, they probably already felt more like brother and sister by the time s1 hit just bc of that but endured it bc they weren't blood and swallows the fact they were probably gonna be married but you can see it in the scenes alone,,
morgana does push arthur to be better and to challenge the things uther taught them bc that is what she instinctively does!! morgana questions uther and in return teacher arthur to question uther (ie: pushing arthur to save merlin in s1e4, helps him to strike down valiant s1e2, makes him argue back when gwen was wrongfully imprisoned s1e3) and we see that morgana does care for arthur!! she threatens sophia when she noticed something is off and often rushes to the defense of her friends,, her tactics can be destructive though just in a parallel way to arthur's
arthur's destructiveness comes from his inability to choose a side, or based his assumptions on prejudices something that becomes even more apparent when morgana turns away from Camelot and it's people
morgana was probably rooting for arthur as a king for a certain point,, but even though the grew up together and she should know arthur's MO is usually 'just say yes in front of dad and do whatever the fuck is just later' morgana doesn't trust him. and as her powers grow this also becomes more apparent and her support wanes until she believes someone else should be on the throne,,,
and when she learns that uther is her father??? that's when she flies off the deep end.
now for me morgana being older than arthur is one of the only reasons why she would have a valid claim to the throne!! we see that mithian as the only girl succeeded her father as QUEEN not just princess meaning the laws of succession COULD include women it just depended on the region,,
now imagine being morgana:
you grow up at home with your father, he is kind, brave, and gentle, and a fearsome warrior, he is the kings best friend. he dies and you move in probably around the age of 8 and you see this 6 year old boy. you later learn the kingdom expects the two of you to marry. you're still grieving but you know what this means. you take the etiquette lessons, you learn to wield the sword, you become proficient in horseback riding, you gain the education fitting of a queen. you are 15, the prince is 13, he is already one of the most promising squires. it's alright though you're learning to love him, not as a romance though (not anymore at least, he tried to flick his booger at you once at the age of 8, the flame was staunchly out out.) you two appreciate one another, you get older, it is improper for the two of you to be alone together, you witness your first execution. he's being killed for the crime of sorcery (he saved a little girl from a burning building), you don't understand. you meet your maidservant, she is one of the most lovely people to grace the earth. you love her, as a friend. you grow older, you're still expected to marry the prince (he is 18), he has killed many. he has watched even more die. he is different, you are different. you watch another man die for the crime of sorcery, you don't understand. two years pass, you're tormented by dreams you cannot comprehend but always seem to come true, a serving boy arrives, he changes the prince again. you watch another man die. you don't understand, but you hold your tounge now until later. the king's temper is short. years past and the sleeping draughts aren't working, your dreams are getting worse. your maidservant is in love with the prince. you're jealous, you don't understand. you think you have magic, you see the prince become his father. you don't understand, you just want someone to tell you it'll be alright. after years of anger and bitterness you finally understand, you hate the king and all he's done, the world would be better if he were gone, arthur would be better if he were gone. arthur loves him anyways and it kills you. you meet a woman who claims to be your sister, both of blood and in magic. you take her hand, she promises to teach you all there is to be taught. your anger for the king festers. the prince you once loved turns out to be your brother. the king you hate turns out to be your father. you beg him to recognize you, and give you the family name you were stripped of. he doesn't. you kill him. you kill s lot of people. you don't care if they're innocent or not anymore. you connive, and you plot, and you scheme. you try to kill the prince, who is now king. your sister dies. you miss your best friend, the handmaiden who is now queen. she says she hates you. you hate arthur. you die trying to make him as miserable as you.
now arthur:
one day your father brings a girl home, everyone is telling you that they you expect to marry. father doesnt say anything. you think she's pretty, you accidentally flick your booger at her and she looks at you like you've wiped horseshit on her dress. you watch a man die for the crime of magic. you don't understand, you will soon. your father looks at you like there is someone he can't stand to see. he cherishes this girl he's brought home. you work harder than any squire seen before. you get promoted early, everyone says it is just because of the king, you beat them in everything so they can't secondaries you ever again. you watch more sorcerers die, your father says it is because they killed your mother, you secretly feel like a bad person because you don't understand why all sorcerers deserve to die for the crime of one death. even if it is your mother. you twist her ring. your father's ward is beautiful, you try to impress her, she's too busy hanging out with her maidservant. you get older and complete your first druid camp raid, you don't understand, so many of them are women and children, so many of them die anyways. you change. you grow older, you become the youngest knight in camelot, you think it will turn your father's ward's attention to you, she's infatuated with owain, the oaf. you get older, and you meet the most insufferable boy with the most outrageous ears and the most obvious lies. he changes you. morgana becomes more distant. you learn that your mother's life was given for yours, you try to kill your father. the manservant you trust most in the world says that sorcerers lie, you finally understand. you hate sorcery and despise any practitioners of magic from now on. you grow older, you begin to fall in love with your sister's manservant, you understand her infatuation. you grow as a prince, and person, you gain alliances in unlikely places, you don't think you'll marry morgana anymore. you learn your father's ward is your sister, you watch as she usurps the throne. you don't understand. you fight back. you become king. you marry the love of your life. she betrays you with a close friend. you become lost. you forgive her, you trust again. you are fighting your sister. always. you don't even recognize her anymore, you wonder if you ever did. you later learn that magic was never evil, on your deathbed, and that your soulmate had it the whole time. you wonder about your sister. she tries to kill you again. she dies in your best friend's arms and all you can think is how she finally looks peaceful for the first time in forever. you die the same way not too long after.
anyways: morgana and arthur parallel each other so hard it's crazy,,, and the pendragons are a family of self-fulfilling prophecies
like that is your sister/brother and you love them and you hate them and nobody else couldn't possibly get it and they hate you but you will always love them and you are home but you can never go home and -!

What if the reader and April run away together abroad, where Sangwook has no business or connections. What will be the boys' reaction?
Oh boy im gonna go on a bit of a long ramble ^^
Okay, so regardless of whatever the situation is. Whether the reader and April aren't dating but dating the Sangwook brothers, or just barely know Hyun and Marco based on the company information. They will not take you packing up and dropping off the face of the earth with each other too kindly..
In the end, it really doesn't matter, they will be coming after you.
So let's say in this particular scenario (since ngl I haven't properly fleshed out the story yet and I've been mostly writing hypothetical scenarios with them- so bare with me), you and April are just good friends.
Just a disclaimer, I'm gonna go through a long tangent of extra lore or whatnot. If you just wanna skip it- ignore the highlighted part.
______________________
Extra explanation of context
______________________
Okay, so running away! The two of you decided to change your names and identites and move somewhere far away where they can't reach you. On purpose, you decide to move to a rural town in Canada where no one knows who you are. It's a small country area, so there's little to no chance that some buisness partner, private investagator, or Hyun and Marco themselves could ever guess where the two of you might be. I mean, Canada, out of all places - who would've guessed that?
It would be peaceful for at least a year or two before they find you. It's not like you could keep up the double life for that long..
So how would they react?
Marco would feel absolutely stupid upon realising that you had managed to run away without him knowing. At first, he would be in doubt. You love him, you wouldn't run away from him, you'll come back eventually. But after days of trying to contact you, he's come to the conclusion that you're not coming back. Espically once he noticed he couldn't track you anymore on the GPS device.
You're just misguided..Angry. Confused. You were just throwing a tantrum. But you had every right. He did go too far saying those things about you.. His anger got to the best of him that time.. It was your typical lovers quarrel. It happens! He'll resolve this. He'll get you back to where you belong.
Marco is delusional, hopeful, but also very anxious. Every passing hour he couldn't find you, he would laugh hysterically alone in his office out of pure rage. Fuckk, you were really starting to get on his nerves. Tearing down the streets and looking for answers, he would do his best to get any tip on where you might've gone. He tried searching your apartment, but upon arrival, it was purely empty. Every day, he would go to bars, restaurants, libaries, the places you loved going to. Asking people and staff left and right if they ever saw you. He even went to his brother, ranting about how impulsive you were for just running away.
He would be worried sick, but also resentful towards you. Especially when he figured out that you had run off with that 'friend' of yours. After everything he's done for you.. You selfishly decided to run off with another man because the two of you had a fight. There was definelty were going to be a nice little 'chat' when he brings you back home. Hiring private investagators, Marco would make sure to pay them a hefty sum for you. I mean, after all, you're worth so much to him.. Even if you tick him off.
See! He loves you so much! You should be grateful for how much he cares about you.
While hiring at least more than 5 private investagators to manhunt you, Marco would be driving all over the country - trying to find you. When the second year hit ever since your disappearance, Marco would've been in shambles. Often clawing at his hair while he tries to keep calm as his mind races away. You still love him, right? You didn't run off to be with that pest, right? God, he wasn't touching you all over, trying to replace him- right? So when he finally gets the tip off of your location, there's no second guess that he's buying a plane ticket to where you are on the same day.
Man, he can't wait to finally have you home! Maybe when things have settled down, perhaps the two of you could about the future. Especially about how he was going to take care of you from now on. Money, job, future? You won't worry about those anymore. Not when no one knows who you are anymore, not when you are so lost and helpless without him, and not when no one wants to hire you for the terrible crimes and deeds you've done..
Hyun, on the other hand, might've taken it a lot worse than Marco.. There are no words to describe how absolutely pissed he was once he found out April had disappeared from his life..AGAIN. After he claimed he wanted to make ammends for the past. What a filthy lying rat. Immediately, Hyun would be contacting every connection, every source, every goddamn bounty hunter to find this fucker. Hell, he even did a bit of research himself to find out where he could be.
Like the cockroach April could be at times, he was smart enough not to go to a highly populated area of people. Okay, so he's somewhere rural, probably. Hyun would mostly check back on the feedback from all of the hidden cameras he placed around April's apartment. Okay, he packed a suitcase while carrying a passport. So he's out of the country. Every little bit of information he could find about his precious employee's whereabouts, he told the investagators. He wanted to find him quick. He could not go through another situation like before.. He could not lose him again. It was out of pure fate April stumbled back into his life after 3 years. He won't let it be like that again.
So when at least the second year mark had hit eversince April had gone missing. Hyun had lost his shit. He began to take his anger out behind closed doors. Finding some poor, unfortunate person who happened to look good enough for him to abuse whenever he needed an outlet to let his frustration out. Destroying things out of pure wrath inside his office - throwing and kicking whatever was in front of him out of the pure helplessness he felt. He was always quick to find and solve issues, so effective and calculative to control anything he wanted.. But..He had lost April. The only person who knew about him. The only one that bothered to make him feel valued.. It was only a few months left until it would become the third year. It was just like before. It was just like university..
He would spend hours trying so hard to track his whereabouts. Demandings answers from the people he hired. Where the fuck is he? It's not so hard to find some short dipshit with pink hair and glasses is it?! Then again..Even he couldn't find him himself.
But when that time came. When April had made that slipup, he revealed his location and identity. Hyun was grinning ear to ear. Finally, it was over. This little game of manhunt was fucking over. All the anger, the worries, the tears he spent over him- was all worth it. He was more than happy to send a bunch of men over to that rural small area. Requesting that he bring him and whoever was with him back alive. He even made sure to tip them a large amount out of genuine thanks.
Once his sweet old nerd is back into his life, he's going to make a few changes. April will learn to accept it. It's for the better, after all. Plus, it's not like he has a say in it. Not when he'll be nice and cozy with a snug eletric collar around his neck.

hiii pjsk oc ramble again :3
(this is super all over the place btw)
I feel like I should be developing Toshiro more, since he's the unit leader but I haven't come up with that much stuff about them compared to the others. BUT. I'm thinking about Seina. In the relationship thingy I mentioned that she works part-time at a café. I think it'd be funny if it's a café Ena and Akito go to somewhat regularly. then I'd have to change some stuff up though, because it wouldn't be just "met them once". Maybe I'd even make her friends with Ena. I did say I'll change a lot of stuff lol
Seina is very collected and pretty much knows how to deal with ppl, so I think she's pretty good at handling customers. It's still tiring for her though, more than you might expect, actually.
I think she deserves a break ngl (I say after being the one to make her need a break in the first place but uhm anyways)
I've also been thinking about their siblings... Seina and Toshiro both have siblings, actually. I haven't figured out their sibling dynamics as much yet. Like, I keep going back and forth on Seina's sibling especially, whether to make them older or younger. Because I have both options thought out, how they would have affected the relationship and in what way they contributed to how Seina acts. I know I'm gonna project with the sibling thing a lot, but uh. That's what OCs are for..? Kinda??? I guess?????
Fumi and Matsu are only children in their families, but I think with how they act with each other and their past connection, they act a little like siblings. I've also been thinking more about the period where Fumi wasn't as strong-willed and couldn't help or stand up for Matsu when he was bullied. Around that time, they had a bit of a falling out due to Fumi blaming herself too much and ending up isolating herself. They interact again for the first time since then already when the unit's story starts. Its awkward at first, and despite all this time working on being the best she could be to make sure nothing like that ever happens again, Fumi still blames themself and ends up avoiding Matsu at all costs. I can't say that he NEVER blamed her... of course, at first, back then, he felt hurt because no one would help, and when he needed his best friend more than ever, she ended up practically abandoning him. There is a little bit of that.. bitterness (??) left to this day, but overall, he doesn't really put them at fault. Fumi is extremely harsh on herself – that's actually something all of them have to a degree. Toshiro wanting to improve, be better at everything, be reliable because of his family problems, he wants to prove a certain person wrong. I now realize that this might sound kinda like the Shinonome dad situation, but it's still different. Seina blames herself terribly for accidentally hurting a dear friend in the past, she thinks of herself as unworthy of being forgiven and cared for, and tries her best caring for everyone around herself instead, devoting it so much time and effort that it leaves her exhausted and even puts a distance between her and the people she loves because she doesn't want to bother them with any of her personal struggles, even thoughts, she doesn't want to be a burden and upset them by having feelings. Fumi's case I already described here. With Matsu... I feel like it's less present in him, but it's still there. He tends to put a lot of pressure on himself about being good enough to be loved. Also because of stuff in the past, partially because of the bullying, partially because of how he as a child perceived Fumi distancing herself from him. He tries really hard to fit into the expectations others have of him, as well as be as independent as possible.
Of course, during the course of their story/ies I want to work through all of that. I think that coming to terms with things and starting to heal would take the longest for Seina. In part because she doesn't let anyone worry about herself as best she can.
ANYWAYS. Uhm. Stop the angst yapping, please, okay, thank you.
I like thinking through the sad and struggling parts of their characters, but I don't want to stop focusing on how they support each other and how much they care about each other. I also think I focused a little too much on their personalities and less so on the. Other necessary stuff... I've started thinking about their SEKAI. I think it should be something nostalgic in a way? With how much their stories seem to be dealing with the past so far, it'd make sense. I have a few ideas maybe, but I still need to flesh them out to even choose hehe

Rebels Rewatch: "Legacy of Mandalore"
A Mandalorian family reunion!
Live reaction version from 2017.
I do find it hilarious that the kids are in the front seats, driving and co-piloting, while the adults are hanging out in the back.
Ezra's little, "Wait a minute." moment lol.
Nice to hear this bit of spoken Mando'a.
Chopper banging on the outside of the Phantom II with his manipulators lol.
Tumblr media
Remember what I said last rewatch about how the two of them develop into co-protagonists? Part of that seems to be that they start spending more time in the cockpit together. :)
Tumblr media
~Under cloud, beneath the stars... over snoooooooow one winter's morn.~
*ahem* Pardon me there, visiting Krownest always puts those lyrics in my head.
Subtle animation appreciation moment: The snow clumps being shaken off the tops of the trees as they're passing.
Tumblr media
"Don't worry, I'll play nice."
Ah yes, one of the parts of the episode that almost seems like it's playing Ezra off as Sabine's "problem boyfriend" that she's bringing home to meet mom and dad. <3
So it was definitely the Supercommando armor that set Ezra off.
I do not know what it is but Disney has been pulling some really weird shit regarding age order of siblings lately, Tristan does not look like he's the younger sibling at all.
Also Isabella and Luisa should be totally switched around, c'mon.
Subtle animation appreciation moment: How their feet actually sink into the snow with realistic weight and powder compression.
Tumblr media
Love the design of the Wren stronghold. Very Modern Architecture.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I love him. <3
Takes Sabine promising that the lightsabers will be safe before Ezra decides to give his up. (And yet later in the climax he doesn't even hesitate to throw it to her, aaaaaah!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Don't mind me, just appreciating the design of this place.
Ursa sounds an awful lot like Fenn "I made a deal with the Empire to survive" Rau here. I doubt the parallels aren't deliberate.
So I guess the takeaway lesson is don't make deals with the evil empire because it will always screw you over.
Tumblr media
*whispers* If no supposed to ship why have Ezra being adorkable towards Sabine's brother just like Kanan was adorkable at Hera's father?
Tumblr media
Really can't get over the scenery in this episode it's so soft and pretty.
Ursa was so ready to be impressed that her babygirl kicked Maul's ass and so disappointed when that wasn't the case lol.
Does seem like Sabine had a difficult childhood even before the whole Dutchess fiasco. Maybe that was why she decided to go to the Imperial Academy in the first place? Who knows.
My genre-savvy called a lot of the beats this episode, which made it just a smidge predictable for me the first time around.
Not gonna lie, Rau sneaking through the complex is actually kind of hilarious.
Tumblr media
I'll bet Alrich painted that for her. :)
Ngl, the dialogue in this scene is just a bit weirdly written, I dunno what it is but it bugs me.
Ezra's so proud that Sabine kicked Gar Saxon's ass lol.
Tumblr media
Underappreciated Papa Wolf Kanan moment: Shielding Ezra from the guardsman's blasters.
You know I don't wonder why Sabine latched onto the Ghost crew as her new family, high-ranking Mandalorian clans seem overly obsessed with prestige.
Tristan is a blabbermouth lol, still can't get over that.
Tumblr media
Oh man this expression. She must feel like she's relieving her family's disowning all over again.
*chanting* Don't make deals with the devil, don't make deals with the devil.
Saxon is a master at finding loopholes isn't he?
I don't think this brief fakeout from Tristan was necessary, I think he should have just immediately turned guns on Saxon from the beginning.
Nice to hear Sabine's theme in the score tho.
LOLOL IT STILL CRACKS ME UP HOW FENN RAU JUST BURSTS THROUGH THE GLASS WINDOW ALL, "SURPRISE, BITCHES!"
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
<333333
This moment made the episode for me.
Zero hesitation, complete trust and faith. He loves her so much omg.
Oooooh a nice rendition of the Force Theme here!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Told y'all it became a running gag.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Problem boyfriend so worried. <3
Sabine's theme is in french horns now, it sounds like. This iteration of the theme is less mournful and more action-oriented, with flute trills and timpani percussion.
The cracking ice is mostly symbolic I think. I did worry at the time of airing if someone was going to wind up falling in.
Sabine using basic lightsaber positions like Kanan and Ezra taught her. <3
...Was it implied that Sabine hacked off Saxon's arm there or...? Camera angle makes it difficult to discern.
I don't think it's a coincidence that Saxon winds up in a position like Dooku's or the Grand Inquisitor's in the Season One finale, lightsaber blades held crossed at their throats.
But Sabine, having been heavily influenced by the Jedi in her life, chooses mercy over revenge. The moment is even punctuated by a snippet of the Force Theme. Aaaaaaaah I love it, I love that Sabine has let Kanan's influence soak into her so much, has become so much more Jedi than Mandalorian and been made better for it.
Oh, his arm's intact, okay then.
I have... Thoughts™ about the entire Mandalorian mindset of needing chaos to become strong and refusing outside help to fight its battles and how the whole Proud Warrior Race thing so often works against them rather than for them but I'll leave them unsaid for now.
Tumblr media
<33333
This status quo change was honestly completely unexpected, and frankly, the episode is eons better for it.
Sabine's theme is in a triumphant key now, as she watches the Phantom II leave.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
:((((
So! This episode is not nearly as good as the previous one, and it's bit predictable, as I said. It's not bad, though, and it's obviously a necessary one for Sabine's growth and character arc, and the overall Mandalorian arc. I was weirdly a little bored this time? Aside from the cute Sabezra bits and the fact that they were bold enough to change up the status quo by having Sabine stay on Krownest, I really feel like this could have been so much stronger as an episode.
Maybe if we axed one of the fillers and made this a two-parter? Idk.
The episode is still decently entertaining enough and has lots of lovely quality Sabine content for those in fandom whose primary investment is her. She gets to really shine here, and show off how far she's come as a character. Which is great.
I think at the time there was a genuine worry that Sabine was being written out of the show. I know I needed a little bit of time to process the thought of her being absent the next couple episodes. But again, they made a narrative choice and stuck with it and I admire that. So I really can't hate this episode. :)
Of course next time we're at my favorite episode of the season and the whole inspiration for an accidentally giant-ass AU that I wrote. See y'all then!

If you owned miraculous what would you remove and add to the show
Personally i'd remove:
Remove the LS
Because it serves no real purpose to the show
Adrien agreste
He's only there because (If my memory is correct), Astruc said that, Adrien has to be in every single episode so that the the audience won't forget him which just means that he doesn't have any purpose in the show other than just being there.
Zoe Lee
It's so fucking obvious that she's just a cheap replacement of Chloe who just came out of nowhere just to take away Chloe's Life. She's basically a goddess of Mary sues at this point because she:
Already got a miraculous on her second day of Living in Paris.
Literally became friends with everyone on the first day.
She's literally Underdeveloped.
She has a Vague back story.
She literally became Daddy's favourite on the first day.
I wanna list more but u already get the point.
Now here's the things i'm gonna add
Basically all the ships that only involve Luka and Marinette. (u already know all of them)
Imagine If the LS wasn't about Adrien and Mari but Luka and Mari. I mean like:
Marichat X, Ladrien X , Adrienette X , Ladynoir X
Vipernette = 💙, Lukabug =💙, Lukanette= 💙, Viperbug= 💙.
(Don't worry about all the other Luka and Mari Ships like Vipermouse, I'll also make it canon)
2. Giving Chloe a redemption arc.
Chloe is a 14 year old broken girl who deserves to be redeemed, I've seen way worse and Chloe is nowhere near that Level of Evil. I don't know what Astruc means by "ShE dOeSn'T wAnT tO cHaNgE" She does want to change if u let her.
3. Making Julerose ships canon.
I'm too lazy too explain
............................................................................................................................
What would you remove.
Hi anon!
Canon wise: - I think Adrien/Chat had the potential, but the writers wasted it to the point they made me dislike hate his character. (So yes, he's useless in canon- I can't deny that) -I think the LS concept is good, but I don't like how it's been developed in canon. The potential was here, but now it's all cringe to me. Not needed either. - And Zoe? She isn't really needed, true, but I'm kinda neutral about her. -Chloe should be redeemable imo, too - she showed she was willing to become a better person and I think that cutting that character development down was mean specially with what they did with Gabriel and adults in general in the show. Now, canon means nothing to me anymore, so I'm taking these ideas you would add as fanon. -Chloe redemption? YES! It would take time, sure, but I'm sure she would make it. (I like her both as a "villain" and as a "friend"- frienemy?) -Lukanette love square? NGL- I want stories with every side of them. I'm greedy. I can't never get enough of them. I LOVE THEM. Still- I have to admit that I'm a bit wary because of what canon did with their main LS, but I'm sure it can be done better if it's Lukanette (Luka/Viperion would always be respectful to Marinette/Ladybug so that's already a better start). -JuleRose canon? ABSOLUTELY YES!
____________
I'm going to post a notice now, but I'm saying it here as well:
I don't care about canon anymore, so I don't think I want to answer to more canon related asks from now on. (You can still send them, but I'm probably not going to answer them)
Thank you for your understanding.
Have a good day!

Kinktober Day #17
Name: Caught
Character: Roommate!Kazutora Hanemiya
WC: 600
Synopsis: He thought he had the house to himself, fortunately for him, you decided to play along.
This fic contains: Masturbating, Kazutora gets caught, blowjob, slight choking, deepthroating, start of unprotected sex, MDNI
Note: yeaaaah ngl, writer's block happened plus an annoying schedule next week is gonna hit super hard so i'll try to grind these out as much as possible before halloween 😔
Tumblr media
You love your roommate Kazutora.
Ever since he moved into your house about a year ago, he has been nothing but good to you and always did his part around the house. He especially helped with the rent, in which your previous roommate failed to do so much to your frustration. If anything, you feel like you scored yourself an amazing roommate.
You didn't know everything about him, but he was a good man who got along well with you. You didn't suspect him to do anything out of the ordinary.
Not yet at least.
Sighing as you walked up to the door of your house while carrying groceries, you were ready to organize them and cook up some dinner. But had you known what was awaiting you on the other side of the door, you would've made an excuse to stay out for a couple minutes longer.
Tumblr media
As you unlocked the door and stepped into the house, you were greeted by a sight you didn't expect to see.
There was Kazutora laying down on the couch, masturbating. Due to the layout of your house, the couch was next to the door, albeit a few feet away. He was still fully clothed thankfully for your sake, but still exposed.
"Kazutora!" You exclaimed, almost dropping the groceries in shock.
He opened his eyes, snapping out of his trance and quickly covered himself up with his hands and a pillow, frantically apologizing.
"What were you thinking?" You demanded, quickly closing the door and locking it before a neighbor could hear the scene and start getting nosy. Especially the old ladies, who were too curious for both you and Kazutora's liking.
He could only sheepishly smile as he shrugged, "Uh… sorry? I had the whole house to myself and I lost track of time I guess. Forget this ever happened?"
The nerve of him, he could've stayed in his room. It's like he wanted to get caught. He didn't even seem that apologetic!
You two then had a staredown, which did make him squirm a bit, before you put down the groceries and walked over to him.
Before he could question what you were doing, you kneeled down, uncovered him, and began sucking him off. This caught him off guard as he let out a surprised groan, but he sure wasn't gonna stop you anytime soon. He put his hand over your head and pushed your head down to take all of him.
Because of that being unexpected, it caused you to choke a bit. But you did your best to push through either way. At the end of the day, who were either of you to question this heat of the moment? You didn't think before jumping onto him and he didn't seem to think either as he just let it all happen to him.
To mess with him even more, you began sucking him harder much to his great surprise and pleasure.
But he wasn't going to give up that easily. Even after you sucked him more and succeeded in taking him down to your throat, it wasn't too long before he began thrusting into your throat.
Sure, you were starting to gag but you had a better idea anyway. With that, you pulled yourself off of him despite his grip. He was not happy about that.
As he glared angrily at you, you giggled before removing your bottoms and underwear, "Don't worry, this is much better," you said.
He smiled in return as he held his cock up with one hand, "Have a seat, then."
Yes, you love your roommate.

Man I got through that last one fast
s4 ep8 Boys' Night Out
(This one took way longer but also I stopped partway through bc Mal the cat had zoomies and I must appease him with the laser pointer)
ALSO this ended up with multiple Our Flag Means Death references, you're welcome
Glimmer etc. save a bunch of sea elf people from a little village as Hordak destroys it, roll intro
Apparently Double Trouble is refusing to tell them anything more
also they're still arguing about Glimmer going off on her own
Tumblr media Tumblr media
also Mermista is taking a long bath and eating all the ice cream in Bright moon apparently
But yeah more arguing with Glimmer, and specifically getting mad at any hint of Adora telling her what to do
Which reminds me of a quote I copy/pasted into my fic notes (I do not remember where I got it I just know Nate said it)
"I think Adora has a huge character flaw where when she feels responsible for someone, she'll do anything to protect them to the point of fencing them in and accidentally taking away their agency. She thinks this is something that she's supposed to do, and I don't think she's fully addressed this part of herself. Catra and Glimmer think it comes from her ego, but she was raised to believe she was only worth anything to anyone if she was useful to them, so really she's just trying to prove herself to them. To prove that she's worth existing, even."
and like
ouch
but yeah it's hardcore on display here
Tumblr media
Swift Wind invites himself along lol
Tumblr media
lol
Hordak is a big dick, is gonna try to conquer more of Etheria himself so he looks all badass when Horde Prime shows up, orders Catra back to the Fright Zone
Tumblr media
and she's stressed out and smooths out her hair D:
Tumblr media
the bit of this character being asleep, getting elbowed awake, and iMMEDIATELY starting to play is so funny
Tumblr media
why does Swift Wind know the words
Tumblr media
new headcanon: Sea Hawk was a stripper at some point
Tumblr media
*adds to "this wasn't meant to be a Sex Joke...probably"* collection
Tumblr media
THE PHRASING DOESN'T HELP
Tumblr media
Look I make so many jokes about cartoon bondage, and here Sea Hawk PAID SOMEONE TO TIE HIM UP AND PRETEND TO KIDNAP HIM I just
I can't even add to that lolol
Tumblr media
something something insert "Our Flag Means Death"-based joke here
Swift Wind: I will contact Adora via MAGIC
back to Bright Moon
Adora: "what is going on with you? I know things are bad right now, but we can fix it!" Glimmer: "Why is that always your answer to everything!" Adora:
Tumblr media
If you don't let me fix it I HAVE NO WORTH OR VALUE AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
Glimmer: we haven't fucking fixed a god damn thing and shit is getting WORSE Adora: WELL YEAH BC YOU WON'T LET US HELP YOU,
Tumblr media
Swift Wind: "She hung up on me!"
Tumblr media
IS IT GONNA BE KARL
Tumblr media Tumblr media
playing Sea Hawk was probably fun in general but he did in fact make seagull noises
Tumblr media
omg it is Karl
Tumblr media
okay so Admiral Scurvy is just like I WANT MONEY which brings me back to asking WHAT CURRENCY ARE THEY FUCKING USING
Tumblr media
mopey kitty. do you need laser pointer zoomies, too
oh no she doesn't know Scorpia has left and is pouring out her heart not realizing nobody is listening
"Listen, I'll kill you if you tell anyone this, but...I thought winning would be different. Or at least more...I don't know, fun?"
poor bb
Back to the boys: the Horde paid their ransom 😬
Tumblr media
oh god this is great
Tumblr media
but also Glimmer and Adora are having a screaming match and Glimmer punches LOW, including the line "Maybe your best isn't good enough! If it was, my mother would still be here!"
I took a screenshot of Adora's face in response but I can't post it it's too sad
but anyway, bigger things to worry about
Mermista: "The boys are in trouble!!"
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
oh hey I remember that scene
Bow: Friendship takes work!!
Tumblr media
that is a very good point
also let's face this episode exists in part just so we get to have an episode in which three male characters get rescued by three women :D
okay I like Mermista's song ngl
Tumblr media
omg the double meaning of "fight with friends" catching up to them near the end of the song
and Catra goes looking for Scorpia and goes into her room and
Tumblr media
omg this is so funny and cute
Tumblr media
I forget where I read it (I've gone through so many interviews etc at this point omgggg) but iirc the note just says "sorry"
Back on the ship: Glimmer reaches out to try to talk to Adora--who smacks her hand away and stomps off
Tumblr media
😬 oh boy
Tumblr media
ADORA GOD DAMMIT
Mermista and Sea Hawk are still singing and having a good time, Bow stares off into the distance singing along, end of episode
...I took way more screenshots than I expected on this one lol

Wow, that was such a sweet ending. I can't believe we're here now. and guess what YOU DID IT! you finished a whole series so huge congratulations! That's not an easy feat. I'm proud of you!
Tony being dramatic with Pocket moving out as if she is going to move to another country only to find out it's just a couple blocks away? Hilarious. Also the umbilical cord line was so so funny. I'm glad for this fresh start though! Pocket absolutely needs it.
And here's me thinking "Where the hell is, Bucky?" and well there he is! So happy to see them be in such a better place now and I'm glad they were able to go to couples counseling and truly got to work on themselves. It might be rare but it's not impossible for couples to work out even after similar events that Bucky and Pocket have fone through. And well, they've grown a bond so strong with what they went through and I truly believe they're going to be better and healthier than before. I know there's going to be more of these two but for now, I will miss the shenanigans they'll get up to. Especially now that they've got their own place to christen hahaha those poor neighbors, doesn't matter if they're a whole floor down. They're going to hear it no matter what.
What a journey this has been. As I said, I've got all my reports compiled into one document. Would you believe me if I said I've written a total of 19k words from all these essays I've sent you? Insane, I tell you. I absolutely don't regret it one single bit. I enjoyed this ride so much, I wouldn't trade it for the world. I'll try and keep up with the future installments, sequels, and your other series (which has peaked my interest ngl) But with school and work, I'll try my best. I'll for sure pop in here whenever i can though. Until then, I'll see you around! Lots of Love!
— Jnon 🤍
WE did it, Jnon! All of us, together!
Although, if people ask what my Greatest Life Accomplishment is, I'm gonna say "oh, that book I wrote." I will *not* say it was Bucky Barnes fanfic smut; just a book, lol. Actually, lemme go check that off my Bucket List rn...
Tumblr media
(Actual photo of my Bucket List. Please ignore the fact I used Papyrus. It was 2014, and yes, I was still old enough to know better.)
I loved the idea of Tony acting like Pocket moving out was the biggest affront to him that could be made. In the original draft, Bucky and Pocket were going to be going at it on the balcony like the touch-starved rabbits they were, and then Tony was going to fly over in his Iron Man suit, but I ended up not wanting to write the awkward, lol. Maybe I'll save it for a smutshot someday, lol.
So, I wrote the epilogue a long, long time ago. Like, way before I wrote the actual ending, or even up to... like Chapter 10, I think? I confess to deliberately playing with it so you didn't know if she and Bucky had gotten back together or not, because at the time, I didn't know myself. I wasn't sure if the ending was going to be truly happy, or just hopeful for them. I had a *brief* (and I mean very, very brief) moment where I had her coming home to Steve, but that died very quickly, because Ew, Steve. I mean, seriously. I think the only reason I thought of it was that it would make people's jaws drop, lol.
Yes, their neighbors are going to hate them, lol. Most definitely. Well, at least until the middle-aged woman who lives downstairs comes up to yell at them to keep it down, but Bucky answers the door in a two-sizes too small tank top and smiles his Bucky smile at her and then she gets it, lol, and did I just come up with another idea for a smutshot? ::sigh:: TO THE GOOGLE DOC! I think I'm up to 13 now? I definitely will do my best to keep you fed with the shenanigans.
I cannot believe you've written 19k words! I have loved reading each and every single one! Focus on school, and don't worry about keeping up with what's going on over here-- it'll be here waiting for you for whenever you have the time. It's been an honor, my friend. A true honor.

Chapter 18 Thoughts
Spoilers for The Mandalorian Season 3
Ngl, I have no clue how much of this episode I actually took in. It was... a lot.
Peli hiring the Jawas steal ship parts so she can con customers should not surprise me and yet I was surprised. 😂
Also happy to see they did not forget the fact that her tooth was knocked out.
Boonta Eve!
"Was that his first word?" Foreshadowing Grogu starting to speak maybe? 🤨
Okay so the whole droid situation being sorted out so quickly threw me off. I won't be surprised if they go back to IG-11 at some point but I thought that this episode would be about getting the part. Instead Din just picks up R5-D4 in the first 5 minutes.
And I know that R5 was in the ship in the trailers but I did not expect to see it this early!
Ugh, Din opening up about his past with Grogu. 😭
The dad vibes are gonna kill me.
Actually, back to the Grogu speaking thing, he does seem to be making more noises now. I wouldn't be too surprised if we started getting words.
Jeez, there's turbulence and then there's turbulence.
Note to self, flying into the atmosphere of Mandalore is not fun.
Aww. Grogu's worries about his dad. 🥲
THERE ARE MULTIPLE OF THAT THING?!
The scenery in this episode is great!
Totally forgot Din had a jetpack and was wondering how he was gonna climb all the way down there. 🤣
WTF IS THAT THING
Of course Din would get himself kidnapped by a giant robo insect.
I thought that thing was gonna spit roast him. 😭
He's clad in metal. He'd probably cook quite easily.
As much as I had no idea what was happening at this point, I did find the robots really awesome design-wise.
Hahahaha okay the Grogu sequence was kind of incredible. 🤣
Could Bo-Katan not tell that Din wasn't in the N-1? Like did she just think he was hunched over or something?
"Let's get rid of him once and for all"
Well that's ominous. 😐
Yeeess Grogu go help your dad
YOUR DAD 😭
Alamites. Okay. I will probably forget that name but good to know. 🤣
YAAASSS BO WITH THE DARKSABER
I don't love Bo-Katan but she looks very cool wielding that thing.
Also was that thing gonna drink Din's blood? 😦
YOUR KID
Honestly this "your dad/kid" stuff is hitting me right in the feels. 🥲
Hehe, Din sharing his soup with Grogu.
Okay, getting more into the Bo-Katan backstop. Interesting.
Din, I mean this in the nicest way possible, but everything you do goes incredibly wrong. How about we don't go into the dark body of water in the mines full of things that have been trying to kill you.
Din looks so odd without his cape. 🤣
DIN WHAT DID I JUST SAY?!
Man sank like a fucking rock. 🤣
Also how was he gonna get proof of this? Like "hello here's my soggy clothing that got wet when I went in the Living Waters"???
THERE'S A FUCKING MYTHOSAUR?!
Okay, so I don't really know how to collect my feelings on this episode because it was a lot. Like episode one, they threw about as much in as they could in the time frame, making it feel a little bit rushed. Just as I started getting my head around one thing, it jumped to the next. That doesn't mean it's all bad though. It kept me on my toes.
Once again, this episode didn't feel particularly self-contained. They seem to have drifted more into this being serial rather than episodic, but we'll see how it goes as the season progresses.
There's been some interesting things set up in these first few episodes, so I'm excited to see where this season goes. This may be an episode I need to look back on to fully grasp what I even watched because so much happened. 🤣 Din got his ass kicked a lot this episode.
I definitely think I prefer Chapter 17 rn, but I still found this episode enjoyable! Part of it may be because the most recent episode of TBB was so good that Ch 18 didn't hit quite as hard.
Loving the chaotic father-son dynamic though and I'm very curious to see where we go from here because I do not have a clue.

This is just me spiraling but can I just say I hope the 'you made me realise my true feelings' line in determination wasn't Adrien saying, that. his love for buguinette was not 'true' or something? I know it sounds absurd and I am pretty sure it meant his feelings for marinette but considering how they are pushing back focus into the adrinette side is making me really nervous about it's execution 😭 (I am not saying I think it'd be so, because it sounds VERY absurd to me but I still just am very nervous about it)
I have to listen to that line again because it's indeed a bit clumsy but I don't think it means his feelings for Ladybug! But more that he now identified what his true feelings for Marinette were 😊 while his for Ladybug have shifted, but he doesn't mean that what he felt for her before wasn't true!
But yeah however it looks a lot like the writers are pushing Adrinette dating pre-reveal which...I personally hate fbnzndbz because while I do believe the way they're currently setting it up is believable and well done, it's not the route that would have made sense to me considering the whole setup of the lovesquare since the beginning of the show. Having them starting to date post-reveal, once they know fully who they are and dare I say - know each other enough to realise who each other is behind the mask naturally, is a lot more powerful and significant and in line with what the lovesquare's been from the start imo.
But I'm afraid it's heavily compromised, and I guess I'll have to take it. I don't want to be too negative about it if it happens because I want to enjoy them being happy and dumb & witness more silly shenanigans as they try to keep their identities a secret, but it's gonna be hard ngl 😅 to me, Adrinette needs more closure as friends now rather than boyfriend/girlfriend first. And if they give us more Adrinette content pre-dating I'm all for it because yes we need it and it's amazing and funny and cute! They're pretty good friends right now (well, there's the whole 'Marinette running away from him' to solve first hahah), but they're not exactly on the level of being very close friends like say, Ladynoir are. They're still very shy and cautious around each other even if they've improved a lot especially during the S4 finale. I guess we'll see the outcome of Kwami's Choice as it's a 2 parter: reveal or dating first (maybe not in the episode, but the end of it should tell us without a doubt which one it'll be!). So one can hope!
Anyway!! If they indeed go the Adrinette dating first route, I have no doubt it'll be well executed & will make sense with the way they're setting things up right now, and I have good hope that it won't be an easy relationship until they reveal. So I'm not too worried about that as much as I'm worried about it being what the writers chose to go with instead of identity reveal before dating, if that makes sense hahaha

A Breeze of Love Live Blogging
I wasn't gonna liveblog this one but I'm near the end of ep 1 and I think I'll have things to say.
This was the last k-BL webdrama I had on my watchlist (not counting a short and a movie) but now that a few kBLs are coming out in April, I can watch this without worrying that I'm gonna run out lol
Ep 1 (Mar 28)
main lead has insomnia + was out of school for a bit
the love interest's name is Lee Dohyun? Just like my beloved actor Lee Dohyun?
ah, they're enemies? oh flashback to 2018 high school. friends to enemies to lovers?
oh sleeping beside each other in a supply closet? did he have insomnia back then or no?
Kinda wish this was post-breakup (would def make sense why Dohyun hates him then) but I doubt it </3
Seems like our MC did something to Dohyun probably? because MC is seeking out Dohyun while Dohyun's antagonizing him
Ep 2 (Mar 28)
love triangle? sigh
okay indeed he falls asleep easily when beside Dohyun and only then
omg they weren’t even friends or acquaintances during the supply closet nap
Ep 3 (Mar 28)
thought it was gonna be sleep together at night for a few days not live together omg
Dohyun was about to ask whether Dongwook likes him?
Ep 4 (Mar 28)
ah again Dohyun giving him an in “don’t you have something to say to me?”
bruh i’d be pissed as fuck if a close friend just cut ties w me this way for no reason
Ep 5 (Mar 28)
ah they’re learning to be considerate of the other person while living together like making rice for breakfast and turning off the shower
finding the sleep log
omg Dongwook kissed Dohyun in high school? i would’ve beat Dongwook fr when he first left and then after seeingn him again and then again when he pretends everything is fine and doesn’t know why Dohyun hates him
Ep 6 (Mar 28)
ngl I truly don't get how they're even behaving cordially like if I was Dohyun? Dongwook would be dead to me
ah, is Dohyun gonna wonder whether Dongwook only spends time with him because of his insomnia?
and right on the day Dongwook was gonna maybe confess
ah, their meeting and confrontation and "don't you have something to say to me?" being in the rain again
yess confrontation!
"Get out of my house before I kill you" exactly! that's what I wanna hear
ah
at least the music and slow-mo this time came after the actual confrontation
and Dohyun heard Dongwook saying that he just wants to sleep with him to another student in high school?! girl let's kill Dongwook
Ep 7 (Mar 28)
I do not know their male and female friend's names but I like the girl
that's it? Dongwook just saw Dohyun be somewhat friendly to another guy? and do the "you've got dirt in your hair" thing? aw shucks and that's why you blew this all up?
lowkey gives Our Dating Sim vibes with how Dongwook photographs Dohyun + Dongwook leaving in high school after they kinda had something
Ep 8 (Mar 28)
aw cute
are we getting a tease for the side character's BL possibilities? idc
oops i got awkward and started skipping when they mentioned checking whether the ice got in the underwear
ah, the ideal scenario of Dongwook being able to now sleep without needing Dohyun by his side (but still wanting him there)
Overall:
The concept is somewhat similar to Our Dating Sim, with one character disappearing after the 2 characters kind of had something in high school (here, the characters had more of a thing than ODS) but then meeting again a few years later. Nothing about this was egregious of anything but it just felt like Dongwook had treated Dohyun terribly and was also being way too presumptuous in the current timeline, so it didn't fully work for me. I just wanted Dohyun to beat Dongwook up lol
This show is Obsessed with slow-mos and the swelling background music, like at least let me feel something on my own before doing it for the little things.
Maybe should be a 6/10 actually, compared to other kBL ratings that I gave 6 but whatever, I've already pretty much forgotten this show.
Rating: 5.5/10

3. What were your top five books of the year? Oh GOD this is so hard lol. I didn't necessarily rate these the highest (like, there's a book that I rated a 4.5 while some of these are a 4 lol but still) but I'm rating this in terms of how much I enjoyed it at the time and think about it afterwards, bc there's some top notch books that I just immediately stopped thinking about lol. Also ignoring anything I reread like Percy Jackson
As Good as Dead by Holly Jackson. You specifically know how much I LOVE the AGGTM series, and man what a conclusion to the trilogy this was. Thank you again for introducing me to this series and making me sick in the head lmao
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. I linked the ultimate guide since it's what I read but I'm specifically talking about the first book in the series. I ADORED this book and I'll probably reread it again at some point. It's my ideal comedic book - probably my ideal sci-fi book too tbh lmao
Wrong Place, Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister. I thought this premise was SO unique and was worried it would end up being a disappointment (especially because as much as I love thrillers, they end up middling for me lol) but I thought this was amazing and fun, and a really unique premise for a thriller!
My Murder by Katie Williams. Again, another really unique concept for a book, of a serial killer's victim who ends up getting brought back to life by the government. It's not a thriller but I think it was marketed as one which is weird? It's a slower-paced book with a bit of mystery and sci-fi. And I fucking loved it lmao.
The Labors of Hercules Beal by Gary D. Schmidt. I was between a few books for this last slot (like Drowning or The Westing Game) but this book was such a great time for me. A middle school read but one that still was enjoyable to me as an adult and had a lot of heart to it.
13. What were your least favorite books of the year? Blegh quite a lot. I love thrillers but I feel like the thrillers I read this year started off strong for me and then tried having plot twists out of fucking nowhere for the sake of a twist. Same mindset about what counts as my least favorite applies as above, but asdfjkl inversed lol:
The Burnout by Sophie Kinsella. I'm ngl, I think it's largely based on how the main's lack of interest in sex was portrayed - without it I think this book would have probably been like, a 3.5 or something. I just didn't love how it was portrayed as her being broken or weird or abnormal - had the book acknowledged that this was something abnormal /for her/ that would have been perfectly fine, but it seemed to be in the sense that "not wanting sex = strange and weird" which just really left a bad taste in my mouth.
The Stepson by Diane Saxon. Some of the worst writing I've ever read imo
The Coworker by Freida McFadden. Just didn't hold me. I thought it was kind of simplistic and the characters were unlikeable, which would be fine if they were fun to read but they weren't lmao
In My Dreams I Hold a Knife by Ashley Winstead: I'm just gonna put the first part of my review in why I didn't love this: "I kind of feel like this book just kept on going. And going. And going. It was just a lot of “so this is why YOU killed Heather” at the end of each chapters."
Perfectly Nice Neighbors by Kia Abdullah. I fully acknowledge that this one probably doesn't deserve to be here, and the fact that it produced such a visceral reaction is probably a compliment? But I hated how I got so attached to characters only for the ending to just. Suck for everyone lmao. Had I known it going into the story I think I would have been okay because I would have mentally prepared myself but it just didn't work for me. I also still think the final plot twist just wasn't great; it felt like a twist for the sake of a twist. Had the ending been different I could have excused that, because I was really invested in this book up until the final act, but it made it so that a book that I was ready to give a 5/5 ended up being rated here lmaooo
END-OF-YEAR BOOK ASK - SEND ME A NUMBER FROM 1-25
