MAY I REQUEST FOR LOTTIE WITH A SKATER GF HCS

🦌-lottie with skater!gf hcs

k this has been sitting in my inbox for like a week im sorry zzz also pulling stuff out of my ass cuz im so sleepyt

rich girl yes, she def buys you your gear and shit

if you ask her for a new deck she will literally get it for you no hesitation even if she already got you one

even the clothes and shoes like okayyyy (all brand name clothes for skating r so expensive too omfg)

offering her some help cause she wants to learn just for you

one day before she asked for it though she came home with scratches and a few bruises here and there cause she was trying to learn while you were out of the house :(

cannot balance thats why it happened

when you do end up teaching her though she is gripping onto you so tight it feels like your shirt is gonna rip 😭 she’s terrified of falling in front of you it is literally her biggest fear

teaching her tricks is a whole new level like she cannot pop up the tail properly and always holds on to you cause she sux!

you probably get her the skate trainers so she can do them when you’re gone ☹️

idk if ppl are gonna know what i’m talking abt but having her stand on the board while you hold her hands and she jumps so you can make the board underneath spin

please tell me you guys know what i’m talking abt or i’m gonna sound fucking crazy…

when she gets what she considers good she always calls you out so you can see her do a silly lil pop shuv or a strawberry milkshake 😭

when you sucked at skating you would get hurt ALL THE TIME!!!

lots of blood thats for sure.. lottie tending to your wounds and calling you ‘stupid’ for not wearing a helmet

you tell her “it looks dumb on me” and she ends up smacking you in the area where it hurts just so you know not to do it again and wear the damn helmet no matter how dumb it looks 😒

makes up for that tho fs! kisses your little scratches and bruises while you sleep so they magically feel better in the morning

definitely gives you massages too like she is such an angel oh my god

i think if you broke her arm or leg she’d FREAK!!!

she sees your hand twisted in that weird way but you’re just sitting on the floor holding up your wrist while she’s literally sobbing and calling an ambulance 🤧

same thing with the leg me thinks… your ankle twisted or something like that

when you get your arm casted up she helps you do everything like dress and cook and all that shebang

also she writes all over the cast like she makes it hard for the other yjs to sign it cause all there is on there is her name a bunch of times and a million hearts and doodles

one space on there where the yjs have their names cramped up while lottie’s is everywhere 😕

when it heals and you start to skate again lottie makes you wear a big ass sweater with a shit ton of padding underneath

probably makes you wear big old pants too so she can pad them up as well

gets you a big dumb helmet too so you don’t get hurt

but in reality she just cares about you too much and hates seeing you in pain 🙁🙁🙁

so, re:chain of memories, huh?

warning! its been a little while since i played through recom, so the game isnt as fresh in my mind as some others. sorry for any innacuracies!

spoiler alert, this is my second favorite kingdom hearts game. at least of the ones i've played so far. i get that this isn't like. a POPULAR opinion but fuck you i have almost nothing but positives to say about it.

let's start with the easy stuff first. recom introduced a new card-based combat system. i cant compare it to the gba version, since i didn't play that, but i can say that for what its worth i DID enjoy the combat. recom is by far the hardest game so far (at least for me) and almost every boss took multiple days for me to beat, even with my hp maxed out. it took me a while to get the combat system, but id honestly love to replay the game now that i have a better understanding of how it works. the card system requires a lot of quick thinking and i get that it isnt everyones taste but its CERTAINLY mine. every fight is difficult and feels genuinely rewarding when you win. the movement, like kh1, can use a lot of work, but i wouldnt call it terrible. just kinda sluggish. i think my favorite boss fight was larxene. shes a pain in the ass but i love her.

i think riku's side dropping the deck building mechanic isnt terrible, but i wish i could reorder his deck at the very least. and the lack of healing cards is. not fun. basically any damage you take is permanent unless you HAPPEN to get mickey and its simply Not a fun time. im not very good at games okay.

i have a lot less to say about the worlds than the combat. they're definitely the worst aspect of the game, though. the idea of making worlds with cards is fine! it just leads to kind of repetitive world design. the stories are forgettable, so forgettable that i literally forgot them. and i could make a point about how thats the idea its a game all about forgetting things!! but honestly that just making excuses for it. the worlds couldve kept the idea of forgetting things without literally making them forgettable. i say this about every world, except for one. because DESTINY ISLANDS

destiny islands is just. so fucking good in recom. its the climax of both sora and rikus stories and i think theyre both amazing. id have to say i prefer rikus, soley because of the visual storytelling you get from his side of it, and thats not to say soras is bad at all. but something about zexion telling riku that its his fault his home was destroyed, as riku sees a version of himself turning into a literal monster? thats just good okay. its really good.

i ADORE the characters in this game too. everything we get from them is sooo good. it's the introduction to the organization and all of them (except lexaeus who did literally nothing) are a treat. axels my favorite ofc, but larxene is such a fun villain, you love to hate her. shes really the star of the org cast in this game. sure, axels may have said its his show now, but larxene stole the spotlight.

its namines introduction, too, and i love her. on one hand, shes just really kind. she wants a friend, she wants someone to talk to, she wants to meet sora. on the other, shes just a little bit fucked up actually. sure, shes honest with sora, but shes the tiniest little bit guilt trippy and i LOVE THAT. her response to sora saying he wants to get back his own memories and forget her is "oh okay. you want to remember your REAL friends, huh? theyre the ones who REALLY matter to you? yeah anyone would want that. no friends for namine i guess." like shes just a bit salty and we love that for her. i want slightly guilt tripping and salty namine back nomura.

but ofc one of my favorite new characters in this game HAS to be repliku. god i ADORE repliku. his hatred for riku is sooo fun and the way he fights with sora is great too. like in soras side i thought he was a neat villain but rikus side? hes amazing omfg. one of the only villains i liked in rikus story (sorry lexaeus, you werent good until days)

over all, this game certainly isnt everyones cup of tea, but its DEFINITELY mine. it's the game im most excited to replay at some point, mostly because of the amazing boss fights. 9/10. its got issues, but the story and characters are so good that i genuinely could not care less about like. most of them.

#doodles #i just really like the boss fights okay #kingdom hearts #chain of memories #riku #scene i drew is a redraw of rikus side of destiny islands #since its one of my favorite scenes from recom #kh review #<- making a new tag #gonna go back and tag all the other ones

Hello hello hello! Can I make a request for a oneshot or head cannon of RedSon x reader? It a little angsty but hope you don’t mind. If you don’t feel comfortable feel free to ignore this!

In season 3 Dragonfruit is hinted a lot, so how about Mei being in love with Red but him not feeling the same way? Mostly because he really likes her best friend, the reader. The reader helps Mei with confessing even though she also likes Red. She pushes all those feelings because the reader loves her friendship with Mei more then her love for RedSon. One day gets a letter from Red, thinking this is a chance to help Mei she goes! Only to be (somewhat) confessed to by RedSon (well as nice as RedSon can confess). Little did we know Mei was following the reader to see why RedSon sent the letter, only to be left heartbroken. For a little bit, Mei was angry at RedSon for breaking her heart and mad at the reader because she thought that she was a fake friend. It wasn’t until a little self reflection to realize that she was being irrational and goes to apologize to the reader. There relationship is still shaky now that the reader is now the girlfriend of RedSon, but things are getting better with time!

Sorry if it’s confusing! I hope you have fun making this request and have a good day!

A/N: OMFG I LOVE THIS REQUEST SO MUCH!! I'M FANNING MYSELF TO STOP MYSELF FROM OVERHEATING CAUSE OF the BLUSHING MESS I AM IN RN.

I ALSO HAVE TO SPLIT THIS UP INTO TWO PARTS BECAUSE OF HOW LONG IT IS LMAOOO SO ENJOY PART ONE EVERYONE!!

Scarlet Letter || Reader x Red Son x Mei * * *

You always prided yourself in having an awesome friendship with Lóng Xiâojiāo. The two of you were like siblings, two peas in a pod. You would always hang out at one another's house, especially yours since Mei didn’t like to hang out at her mansion. You even accidentally get mistaken by siblings from strangers because of how much you two hung out with one another.

You were especially eager to hang out with Mei's other friend, Qí Xiâotiān. Him being the successor of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven was like winning a friendship lottery. You all became a trio and instantly clicked. Gold, silver, and bronze. Even though you were jealous of how MK got along with Mei, you knew it shouldn’t be something you have to be afraid of. Because you always knew that Lóng would always have your back and you have hers. No one could ever break that.

You and Mei. Mei and you. Gold and Silver. Silver and Gold.

It never occurred to you that something so small, like a crush on a person, could break it apart.

~

Red Son first showed up in you and Lóng’s when the two of you were out to save MK from his fiery rage. Throughout the fun chase and clutching onto Mei’s body to hold on, you and the fiery demon managed to catch one another’s eye. The brief staring contest between you two was enough to make your heart flutter. 

You never brought it back up until your trio became a quartet when the demon boy came into the picture. The possession of his father, DBK, helped all four of you come close together and form a squad. Now it was gold, silver, bronze, and a special ruby to complete the picture.

And that precious ruby gem set your heart aflame. It started off as a small spark once he started to hang out with the trio. But the more he hung around, the more the flames grew wilder. It was becoming untamable whenever he was nearby. You couldn’t help it when the heat of your flaming heart made its way towards your face as he spoke to you.

You loved him. Bronze and ruby. Ruby and bronze. You loved the fact that, if he ever reciprocated, ruby could suit you.

But gold suited ruby.

After the Battle of the Bone Demon and peace was now spread over the city for a while, you and Long decided to chill at your house. It was during one of your many sleepovers of hair braiding, karaoke, and playing games such as Truth or Dare. 

You pulled out the Truth card from the deck and read the bold glaring purple sentence out loud. “Who is your crush and why?”

You almost put the card away. There was no way Long would have kept that from you. She would have told you in an instant the second she ever fell for someone.

Her answer was quick and confident. “Oh, that’s an easy one. Red Son.”

“R-red Son?” Your voice croaked with pain and confusion. “Are you sure?”

Mei fiercely nodded. “I’m one thousand percent sure.”

Your dragon friend explained how she had started to like him ever since she was saved by Red Son during her captivity under Lady Bone Demon’s hand. His encouraging words of how the Samadhi Fire in her was her own, not the Bone Demon. The way he saved her from that boney grasp left an impact on her.

“I don’t know if I would ever find love like this. And I hope, that maybe, he can love me back. You know?” Mei asked with an unsure smile on her pretty pink lips.

You stared into her green eyes. For a quick second, in a blink of an eye, you can almost see it despite your cracking heart. Red and gold. Gold and Red.

He would be Lóng’s ruby. Not yours.

“Yeah.” You smiled back, unwillingly to let it falter. “Of course, I know.”

“Do you think you could help me?” Mei asked you, her hands clasped on top of your hands. They gave yours a warm gentle squeeze as her eyes. “I can’t do this all alone without my bestie by my side.”

“Of course, I will!” You told her. “You can always count on me!”

~

Pushing down all your feelings was going to be worth it one of these days. While you felt your heart cracking in pain, you tried to push it down for Mei’s sake. You thought, you knew, that Mei would be the better option for Red Son. He helped save her from Lady Bone Demon, they shared similar goals, and they both wield the Samadhi Fire. Maybe it was better for the two of them to be together. 

For the next few weeks, you would spend less time with Red during the group hangout. You kept pushing Mei to be alone with him while you and MK would watch from afar to see what would happen. When it was just you and Red Son, you would give him some hints of how pretty Mei was or how you two might look good together.

You thought it was working. At least, a part of you wanted it to work. The other would still cling on top of the hope that maybe Red Son liked someone else. That if he liked someone other than you or Mei, it would hurt less to do this. You can laugh it off with Mei and just be friends. It wouldn’t hurt as much.

That was until you received a scarlet letter in front of your apartment doorstep. In cursive flaming red writing was your name on the flat side of the envelope. You easily recognize the Bull Family symbol on the wax print that held the letter close.

Your heart raced and your hands quivered as you slowly opened the letter. As your eyes poured over his writing, tiny scribble cursive, as you read what he had written to you.

‘My dear Y/n 

Peasant Y/n 

Y/N,

As a token of appreciation for being my friend despite how unpleasant you are fashion-wise and all that heroism you reek, I would like for you to accompany me to a meeting at sunset tomorrow evening. It would be just for strict business. Nothing. More.

Please. This is the closest you will ever get to me treating you as an equal.

From, your dearest lovely dear friend

Red Son.’

You… did not know whether you should be panicking or laughing! You can practically imagine him struggling to write this letter to make it sound as demanding as possible without sounding too mean.

You reread the letter again. If you were to meet Red Son… you can convince him one-on-one to be with Mei! He might hear you out and he would consider the offer. After all, you thought they could make a great couple. You would help Mei get with Red Son and help yourself from further heartache.

You stared at the letter again and reread it. Your heart skipped a beat every time you read it, gently rubbing his signature with your thumb. If you let your mind just wander a bit, you would have thought this might be a chance for you. But Mei… It all had to go back to Mei and what she wanted. You had to make sure that your meeting with Red Son benefited her.

For the character ask meme: 2, 7, and 20 for Takeru and 1, 16, and 23 for Shark!

TAKERU

2. When I think I truly started to like them (or dislike them, if you've sent me a character I don't like)

God, it was love at first sight for that fire boy, I remembered binging episodes 1-10 of Vrains because I decided I wanted to learn the old fashioned way how to Link summon and wanting to look up something, I forgot how exactly I came across his out of vrains face googling but I knew I had to get to him, I just had to know who he was

And then it was like a soul bond after that omfg, kin at first sight, Salamangreat, baby’s first meta deck

7. A quote of them that you remember

MANY, SUB AND DUB BOTH fjdhdhshs, I’m obsessed with him lowkey highkey

“Because I’m not that smart either. If I was, I’d see the world in a different light.”

“Everything that happened so far is a part of me! That’s what I lived through!”

“You have to think of it like a duel, you need the right strategy to start a convo.”

“I can’t believe he rolls up the sleeves on his sports coat, that’s just the worst.”

20. A weird headcanon (minor cw for drug use)

Oh my god I love imagining Takeru, specifically pre-canon Takeru, as being MESSY, and really looking at him in this lense where he’s spending a lot of time turning his life around

Maybe it’s a small projection based on parts of my life, but I like to imagine Takeru following pure and complete sobriety

He’s had way more than enough close encounters in his life to try too many new things, I imagine, being a delinquent with no real awareness for his personal safety, he dabbled in other unsavory activities like using but swore off of everything after meeting Flame and only just hardened his cause

RYOUGA

1. My first impression of them

Deadass did the “There’s no way this kid is actually named SHARK” when getting the lowdown before watching and then knew I had to meet him

Like in my last ask box for Ryouga, I knew I’d love him during and after watching, but to what degree I was unsure, like I really thought for certain Ryouga was going to be my favorite Zexal uncontested because I’m so attached to all of the BFFs from most of the other spin off

And I did immediately love him on introduction, love that he’s just a huge asshole, love when he becomes slightly less of one, even if it means his decisiveness is just thrown out the window the more he changes

16. A childhood headcanon

So thinking like post car accident, Ryouga being smart with what he could get from whatever child care system in Heartland is in place for orphaned kids waiting for their allowance to come back(given that the manor is in such poor shape, I’m imagining anyway!) to best support Rio!

Like continuing to do anything he can at home, even if it’s unsavory, to keep them afloat while still having to attend school, and then inevitably keeping her stuff cleaned, organized, and well tended to when she’s in the hospital, just really falling into being the best brother he can

23. Future headcanon

DAD SHARK

Sort of related to above omfg, like Nasch is so precious with Iris and Ryouga’s a great brother, I like to imagine Ryouga being a really good Dad 🥹🥹🥹

Deku's birthday/Kamideku hcs <33

for Deku's birthday Kami most definitely convinces everyone to throw him a surprise party

it goes about exactly how you think it would go with the lovely bunch of individuals thats 1-A

Sato bakes him a funfetti cake thats in the shape of (and decorated like) Deku's hero analysis notebook if it was open

all the edible confetti and glitter n stuff are in the colors of All Might's hero costume

Jirou definitely was in charge of making a playlist that everyone would vibe with whilst still being songs Deku enjoys

Bakugo was in charge of getting the gaming counsels set up so him and Deku could do their birthday tradition of Just Dance (Bakugo always wins)

Aoyama gets put in charge of decorations and no one is surprised at how beautifully everything turned out

while everything is getting prepared, Kaminari and Tamaki plan a double date so they can celebrate their respective partner's birthdays

nothing to fancy they go around the mall, get a bite to eat, and end up relaxing at the park

when they part ways Deku takes Kaminari to meet his mom for the first time so thats fun

when they head back to the dorms is when the party starts

they decide against hiding and jumping out due to not wanting to scare the ever-loving shit outta the birthday boy

but they definitely scream when he walks through the door to the common room and its a tad bit overwhelming

the second Deku notices whats going on he immediately starts crying

he never really had parties as a kid due to being bullied n stuff so he just hung out with his mom and Bakugo when Mitsuki made him

Todoroki got extremely confused by the tears and Kiri had to very lovingly inform him that they were happy tears

"omg guys you didnt have to do this" - Deku

"oh well i-" - Uraraka nervously bc she was bouta try and take credit (not sorry for the slander ngl bc i think its hilarious)

"Kami planned it all so all we did was execute as best to our ability" - Jirou

cue Deku peppering kisses all over Kami's face through his tears bc omfg my boyfriend is the reason this was possible

you think he was dramatic bout the party itself? he went absolutely batshit about the cake

"HOLY MOTH BALLS THE CAKE LOOKS JUST LIKE MY NOTEBOOK" - Deku

enter Sato excitedly waiting for everyone to finish singing happy birthday so he can see Deku's reaction to the cake being cut into

Katsuki recorded his reaction to send to Inko and she fawned over it for weeks

after cake the party mellows out a bit so Kiri decided it was the perfect time to give Deku his birthday punches

lots of lively chatter and a sore arm later, Katsuki and Izuku have finally have their anticipated Just Dance match

and like usual, Katsuki won (this mf NEVER loses at Just Dance and when i say NEVER i mean he has been undefeated his entire life)

their traditional game is then followed by everyone trying to beat Katsuki while doing only extreme dances

almost everyone goes and loses until Mina

everyone thought it would at least be close considering Mina dances in a style closer to what they would be doing

but she inevitably got her ass handed to her when Katsuki got five stars in Where Have You Been on extreme

she ran out of stamina like halfway through and almost decked Sero in the fact when he said "thought youd have more staM-ina"

overall it was a good time and Midoriya thanked Kaminari PROFUSELY for planning what was single handedly the most exciting experience hes ever had (yes yes it did bass boost Denki's ego thanks for asking)

#kamideku #todokiri if you squint #these are all over the place #and TECHNICALLY LATE #also miritama #although i never say Mirio's name #it is indeed implied #hcs :D #happy birthday deku #mha #bnha #i almost got so ruthless with pick me Uraraka slander #yk that one birthday scene in sing #someone posted that but had Jirou as Meena #and i reposted it saying it would be Uraraka tryna impress Deku #and ive been going feral about it ever since #bc i am simply hilarious and i eat sleep and breathe Ochaco slander <33

Omfg chapter 11 was a rollercoaster, I need like 5 minutes with Nini in a locked room right now cause if y/n won't do it I'll DECK her😤. I feel so bad for Ricky like I was honestly so concerned reading cause this poor baby needs help and these people just don't know when to stop. For reals tho nini needs a wake up call frfr. I'm glad Ricky's going to therapy now my baby needs to properly express himself. As for his mama? 🖕🙂🖕 She ain't even in the chapter but I still wanna FIGHT her for slapping y/n cause personally? I wouldn't let that slide. Once again amazing writting as always thank youuuuu and happy holidays 💛🎉

LSDKFJSLDKJDS MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!!!! Literally, Nini is just such a fucking egomaniac I can't stand her. She's not used to people standing up to her bc Ricky just wants to make her happy and Kourtney learned a long time ago that trying to confront her will be totally fruitless, so she really desperately needs reader to put her in her place a little (or a lot). DEADASS RICKY DOES NOT DESERVE THIS. I do love that he got his cassie I have never ever been happier moment just bc it slayed and I'm glad he got some stuff off his chest but god at what cost yk. Ricky's big three things he needs in his life to achieve self actualization are y/n, theatre, and therapy. ME TOO BABES. PUT ME IN A CAGE FIGHT WITH LYNNE BOWEN ANY FUCKING DAY. she really is a perfect example of "I had a kid and now I'm on an uncontrolable power trip". she and nini have monthly meetings on how to fucking ruin Ricky's life in every way possible. I can't even begin to imagine how Ricky would react if he found out. it would be explosive to say the least.

THANK YOU BABES!!!!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU TOO!!!!! <333

#tumblr user queenl04 #rocks at your window #tbh ricky would break no contact with his mom to confront her over something like that #like oh my fucking god #he would actually short circuit #missing rocks atm #good thing there's at least two more seasons

Japan's current greatest soap opera, Avataro Sentai Donbrothers! It's not just a Tsubasa episode, but a Sononi episode, more importantly! What shall come of this incredibly turgid passion play of a dog and a condor that I just simply cannot stop watching? What's Murasame-kun's deal? And most importantly, will Haruka attain her driver's license?! Only one way to find out~!

-You'd better be holding out, Jirou.

-Here we see Sonoza, evolving into a master swordsman just like a manga.

-...or, I suppose Murasame just needs some time to himself, that's wonderful of him.

-"Mother, I crave violence."

-I've actually been doing the dance in my off time, it's really difficult but fun to try and get right.

-Oh that's cute, Haruka's helmet has an oni on it :)

-Oniga Mirai!

-Is the town we're in called "Oniga"? Mirai, Mirai, Mirai... Timeranger?

-Ohhhhh, Haruka's got Mad Racer Baron drivin', don't she?

-...I mean, Naoto's actor is in Geats so I'm not exactly surprised...

-Oh yeah, Haruka's an adult now. Trust me, it ain't getting any easier.

-Ohhhhh, I feel that Haruka. I'm 21 and I still don't wanna get my license. My permit is gonna expire soon too...

-OH MY GOD, HARUKA YOU KILLED THE LADY IN THE TOMORROW RESEARCH JACKET

-Oh, she's alive

-Oh hey Tsubasa! I forgot, you were the reason I was so excited for this episode.

-"Murasame! Kill him!"

-Nooooo, my blorbos are fighting!

-SAN SHARK!

-Ohhhh, he down

-Hello, Sononi.

-"The blorbo from my show is dying. If I cannot see his progress climax in a happy ending, then I shall write his death with my own feather quill instead of Sir Inoue's!"

-Can't do it, huh?

-Even when doomed to die, he still thinks so hard about her.

-Wait, you can't see?

-Sononi, no, don't do that.

-SONONI WHAT THE FUCK

-INOUE

-Oh hey, that's Hiroyuki Matsumoto! He played Nephrite in the live action Sailor Moon show and Gamel in OOO!

-Both shows by Yasuko Kobayashi and appearing in an episode that's a tribute to a Sentai also by Kobayashi, funny that.

-Braceless.

-Haruka, did you learn how to drive from Spongebob?

-Very professional, sensei!

-If only we had walkable cities all over the world, smh

-She's a bird, Tsubasa.

-You don't know, huh?

-Blind Doggy

-Murasame-kun doesn't stand for catfishing.

-"Mother, why has my friend betrayed me? :("

-Don't think! Feel!

-Sounds like absolutely horrendous advice for driving, but

-YOU WEREN'T EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE GOING BACKWARDS OMFG

-Tsubasa was starstruck, huh?

-How kind of him.

-I really have to wonder how Murasame-kun's viewing all this.

-Shark attack-!

-Pachelbel's Canon?

-STAB

-OH SHIT HERE COMES SEYAMA

-You can't call the cops! He IS the cops!

-Okay Sononi, you're kinda making up for all that.

-OH HI TSUYOSHI

-Your wife has an umbrella and a car, doesn't she? ...on second thought, it looks pretty terrible out there, I'd wanna stay home too.

-Hello Crane Lady! That other bird (literal, and metaphorical by "woman" slang definition) from Ideon Tsubasa's entangled with got stabbed and clawed!

-Tsubasa's so desperate to be with Natsumi again, he just "hugs" her without a second thought...

-Yeah, you feel bad, huh Sononi?

-OH THE DOG CAN SEE NOW

-Ooooooh, he's mad!

-Yeah, that's totally reasonable

-And so the dog and bird run off into the storm.

-AND HARUKA'S STILL FUCKING DRIVING

-HARUKA I WAS KIDDING WHEN I SAID "MAD RACER BARON" ARE YOU ON FUCKING CRACK

-Y'know, there were probably like a bajillion other ways you could've gotten that info out of him.

-YOU FUCKING RAN HIM OVER YOU MONSTER

-ONI SISTER!

-"She slammed that car into you. Kill her harder."

-Drive-by! Hit the deck!

-This is fantastic.

-"Mother. I must recharge my batteries. It is nap time."

-Ohhhhh, that's not good. Seyama got the sword.

-Hello, Miraiki!

-Oh, everybody's here!

-Hello, Tarou! Your show has not had you in it yet today!

-Shinichi, Jirou!

-Yeah nice headbutt InuBrother. Totally knocked somebody out.

-LET'S GO, SONONI!

-Daaaaamn, you got him!

-Okay, okay, okay!

-Okay! Okay!

-Taken out of a dramatic moment by time

-Oh shit, time warp.

-Oh, never mind!

-We're just...

-Doing this now!

-That was fruitless!

-Okay!

-"I'll serve you this time instead!"

-Ninja Dog now has Ninja Shark!

-"Kill Crane Lady, and your one true love will return."

-Ohhhh, her eyes be glowin'

-Good on you this episode Sononi, you were great even if you didn't get to really fight today.

-Haruka can now drive!

-Legally.

-"RUN MY COMPANIONS!"

-Christmaaaaas~!

-Wait

-OH MY GOD, THE NOTO ARE SANTA

-Like

-Collectively.

-That's very nice of them :)

-Hahaha! Christmas Festival is coming soooooon~!

Jimbit (Jimothan X Habit) HCs courtesy of me and Mika [Part 1]

OK so

@zeromet​ FOR YOU!!!

[Plain text: For you!!!]

--Habit comes over to jimothans house for movie night and it started because habit just kinda barged in sometime?? But jimothan had such a good time with whoever was next to him he didnt notice it was Dr.Habit OMFG...!! Habits got an invite for next time though

--So this becomes western movie nights. Where they dress up and talk in western speak and embarass their husbands \lh

Habit’s wearing a cowboy hat, hair down or in a low ponytail, cowboy button up shirt with the top ones undone and flowers(PROBABLY LIKE FUCKING LILIES \POS) [Plain text: Probably like fucking lilies \pos] embroidered on it

JEANS BITCH [Plain text: Jeans bitch]

Belt too, and cowboy boots with flowers or lilies on ‘em, sleeves rolled up a bit....i recite from memory--thank you @ultimaid​ for answering an ask I had about this!! Like a year ago?? Two? Anyway heh hehhh great fashion sense!!!

Habit probably has a huge fucking hat that he brings no doorframe is safe

--Theyre super loud and excitable so its a little much for everyone else but they dont wanna ruin the fun

Parsley absolutely hates it and Nat probably fucking left the house entirely 

--trencil and kamal are just kinda at the sidelines quietly talking or silently admiring their loud lads

Putunia is at home being babysitted by Trevor???

--Habit  bangs open the door and goes YEEHAWWW PARDNER [plain text: Yeehaww pardner] and slaps jim flat on his back

Hes so fucking loud❤️(heart emoji)

Heres a drawing idea I did of Kamal and Pars hiding!!

[ID: Caption text reads: Kamal and Parsley chilling at the back of Jim and Habit’s noisy westerns movie night. 

Above is a simple base faceless, detail-less base drawing of it. Kamal is huddled with his knees together wearing ‘un-noisy headphones’ while Parsley is sideways on the floor holding himself. They are both at the back of the sofa away from ‘’insert hell noise here’’. end ID]

Kamal is like

[ID: The cursed emoji meme with red eyes and a flat wide mouth, looking away. end ID]

everyone has headaches by the end but its ok

--Now comes...cowboy kisses distrubution

The movie is damn over!!!!

Habit is caught up in the victory of the moment his heart is overflowing SO [Plain text: So] He picks up Jim and kisses his face everywhere except the mouth because thats for finger wag Trencil[ FOR NOW] [Plain text: For now]

Jim’s kinda flustered but he goes with it because Habit’s an affectionate guy

Habit went to smooch trencil too(\pl) but was stopped with THE HAND [plain text: The Hand]

And then!!!!!!!! Habit goes over to the back where Kamal is(He’s just dozing stand up; tired and sleepy) and gives him one big kissy right there  and its almost worth it to Kamal for spending that entire night there😁(smiling emoji)

--Habit drives back because Kamal’s head hurts

Jim falls asleep on the couch like every old dad does

Nat doesn’t return for several days jic but Trencil knows shes fine

--They should bring Putunia one time!!! She’d love it!!!!!!!

She’d like deck Jim though and shatter his fragile old man bones

AND PARSLEY [ Plain text: And Parsley]

Pars would mega hide then

They’d start letting her watch the normal cowboy movies they usually watch before kamal makes them change it to one less violent

Jim looks to Trencil like "do we really have to?" and Trench just needs to nod

-------

Extra HC: Jimothan actually changed his name to Jimothan Botch after watching way too many westerns 

When he was young he went through the names like JIMOTHAN BADONKAHONKEROOS BOTCH [Plain text: Jimothan badonkahonkeroos botch]

Chapter 9: The Piggyback

Omfg it's the last chapter!!! Sit back, relax, and enjoy.

Spoiler alert:

Eddie doesn't die, bcs that's the whole motivation behind this book.

But seriously, thank you so much person who's reading this, you made my life a lot brighter <3

Okay I'm gonna shut up now ENJOYYY

_____________________________________

(6:00)

"Okay, I wanna run through it one more time. Phase one."

"We meet Erica at the playground. She'll signal Max and Lucas when we're ready."

"Phase two."

"Max baits Vecna. He'll go after her, which'll put him in his trance."

"Phase three?"

"Me and Eddie draw the bats away."

"Four."

"We head into Vecna's house and kill the son of a bitch, start a neighbourhood barbecue."

Mack was the one to recite phase four, probably her favourite too. 

"Nobody moves on to the next phase until we've all copied. Nobody deviates from the plan, no matter what. Got it?"

As everyone simultaneously says 'got it.', they grab their weapons and head out, Nancy leading the group. Steve and Eddie walk hand in hand in the back of the group. It's really adorable. They run towards Eddie's trailer and quickly enter, ready to start their elaborate plan.

"Be careful."

"Thanks, buddy."

Steve climbs up the rope first. Mack observes the current situation, in the hopes of it later just being a bad memory. Everyone is holding weapons and decked out in camo gear, Mack in some camouflage cargo pants, an oversized shirt and a jacket with lots of pockets, also sporting an army cap thing. She's matching hats with Robin. That's the important part. She has a bag on her back, filled with anything medical related. She'll be the communicator and doctor, yet she hopes she doesn't have to use anything medical.

Steve expertly flips down the rope, looking up at the group still in the normal world.

"What does he want us to do, applaud?"

Steve drags an equally dirty mattress as in the normal world towards the gate, creating a soft landing spot for the group.

"All right. Let's go."

Nancy goes in next, followed by all her weapons, then there's Eddie, his spiky trash lid, Robin, the molotov cocktails, spears, Dustin, medical gear and, lastly, Mack. Not so gracefully landing, but still managing to get there.

"As much as I hate this, I wish I need to do that just one more time today."

They all leave the trailer, entering the open world before Steve turns and does his motivational speech.

"Hey, guys, listen. If things here start to go south, I mean, at all, you abort. Okay? Draw the attention of the bats. Keep 'em busy for a minute or two. We'll take care of Vecna. Don't try to be cute or be a hero or something. Okay? You guys are just--"

"Decoys. Don't worry. You can be the hero, Steve."

"Absolutely. I mean, look at us. We are not heroes."

Eddie smiles at Steve, who returns the favor. Yet Eddie isn't satisfied with just that a d quickly takes a step forward the moment Steve turns around.

"Hey, Steve?"

When Steve turns to him again, he can't help but smash his lips on the other's, who gasps at the contact but inevitably returns the passion. Right when Eddie feels like he can be loved, he can't just loose this moment because of some monster. After a few seconds, they separate and Eddie looks in his eyes, both a blushing mess.

"Make him pay. Be careful."

They give each other a final nod and then Nancy, Robin, Mack and Steve are on their way to the house. Mack and Steve smile at each other, then Mack turns around to look at Eddie.

"Get 'em, freak."

She does his signature Devil horns, which Eddie gladly mimicks and laughs while watching them walk off.

...

(23:02)

"Uh... I don't mean to freak anyone out, but I swear we've seen this tree before."

"That's impossible."

"That would suck, right? If Vecna destroyed the world because... 'cause we got lost in the woods?"

"We're not lost, Robin."

"Robin, hey. Watch out for the vines! Hive mind. Remember?"

"Thank you!"

"How does anyone ever control her?"

They may be lost in the forest, probably not, but it's not like there's any way for them to recognize where they are. Mack is getting annoyed at Robin freaking out, but it's either that or all hell breaking lose.

"Tell me about it."

Mack and Steve have gotten to know each other pretty well over the time they've spent together. Turns out he's a really-nice guy, not just a maybe-nice guy. 

"But don't worry about Robin, Mack. She's just stressed, scared probably."

"Yean, she's just like..."

"She's a super klutz?"

"Exactly!"

"You know, she did tell me it took her longer to walk than most babies."

And even Nancy! She turned out to be really nice too! She's sweet, caring and somehow a gun expert or something.

"I really shouldn't laugh. When I was a baby, I actually crawled backwards."

"Crawled backwards?"

"You know, I'd push with my hands like this."

Steve tries his best to do a backwards crawling impression while walking forwards, making beeping sounds in the process.

"Always in reverse, you know?"

"I just army crawled."

"What?"

It's true, an actual thing that happened. Looks like Steve isn't the only special baby. (I did the same as a baby lmao)

"Yeah, just like on my elbows, legs dragging behind me. And before I started crawling I kind of, jerked myself forwards and ended up smashing my head against a toy truck."

Yup, the scar is still visible on her forehead. Pretty funny story, if you ask her. (And me, I actually did that)

"Wow, I reversed onto a flight of stairs and thumped my head really good."

"No surprise you turned out so stupid, Steve-o"

"How could you guys just not crawl normally?"

"Crawling forward is for losers."

Mack and Steve burst out laughing, leaving Nancy to playfully roll her eyes and walk further. 

"Hey, Steve. Can I tell you something?"

"Sure, go ahead."

"If... if we do defeat Vecna, and everything goes back to normal..."

"Yeah?"

"Will you..."

"Will I what?"

"Go to Eddie's band's concert? I really wanna go, but I'm not going alone. Have you ever been in a mosh pit? It's a dangerous place! And who else but Eddie's boyfriend would be more thrilled to be there?"

Steve laughs at her offer. Steve? At a metal concert? Played by the band that Eddie fucking Munson is in? It would be one hell of a sight which he would kill for. And technically, he will be killing for it.

"Alright, alright. I don't really suppose I have any other chance, do I?"

"Oh, I'll make sure you won't."

Some more laughing follows, interrupted by Robin running back, panting hard.

"Hey, guys! You guys! Awesome news! Looks like we weren't going the wrong way after all. Come on. Let's go!"

"Okay!"

"Take a second to breathe, Rob. Jesus Christ."

"Ro... Slow down! Ro... Robin!"

They all follow Robin through the woods, expertly avoiding the vines, ready to finally kill this dude.

Eventually, they end up at the house... but it's surrounded by killer bats. Great! Steve looked over to the playground, orange particles shining there. 

"Erica."

...

(32:38)

~okay, the lovebirds have copied. Max is moving into phase two: distracting Vecna.~

"So far, so smooth."

"Yeah, we're not even at the hard part yet."

"I feel like this is going to be pretty easy. Wait oh no, am I jinxing it? I bet I'm jinxing it. Oh my God for the love of all that is good and Bowie, I'm jinxing i-"

"Okay, okay, Mack. We get it, you're jinxing it."

"Wheeler, I wouldn't take the fact that I'm jinxing it so calmly."

She's met by states from the group around her. Hey, she's just scared of jinxing i-

"Okay, I get it. I'll shut up."

Nancy steps forward towards the house, talking as if she's speaking to Vecna directly.

"Take the bait, you son of a bitch. Take the bait."

...

(48:16)

~okay, she's in. Initiate phase three.~

Mack clicks the button on the radio, talking to Eddie and Dustin.

"Alright, freaks. Let's get this party started. Commence phase three."

"Copy that. Initiating phase three."

After a few seconds, they hear guitar being played in the distance.

"That son of a bitch actually did it."

Mack can't stop smiling, not even being able to exclaim how proud she is of Eddie right now. One of their favourite songs at the moment is being played as they try to stop the end of the world, and it looks like it's working. 

"Metallica is saving the day. Shall we go in Wheeler?"

"Let's go."

Shit is about to go down. 

...

(54:35)

They walk up to the house, ready to kick some ass. Steve opens the door, it squeeking in the process, when they get met with an interior design coming straight from the deepsea. Tentacles decorate every surface, leaving barely any room to walk normally.

"Oh shit. That's not good"

"Didn't know Vecna is doing a schoolproject on Octopusses. Or is it octopi? Anyway, hope you guys don't suck at leapfrog."

Steve hesitantly looks behind him before eventually taking the first jump between the vines, the rest of the group following swiftly. First there's Mack, then Robin, and lastly Nancy.

...

(1:03:50)

As they slowly get carefully go upstairs, Steve waits at a landing to give everyone a chance to catch up. He clicks off his flashlight while Mack helps Robin and Nancy up.

"Careful."

When they're all together, they look at a red glow coming from around the corner. Steve helps Nancy get the shotgun out her bag, while he grasps his own axe.

Robin puts away her flashlight and fixes some things around her pockets while Mack gets her lighter ready. For some reason, those idiots forgot to buy one, so they had to use Mack's. The only problem is, no one seems to get a grasp on how to use it. Okay, it might be an old one, but it's not *that* hard.

Right when Robin was about to reach for a Molotov cocktail, the house begins to shake vigorously. They all hold onto eachother as a group while they try to find their balance, and to not step on a tentacle.

When the house does stop shaking, they hear some tentacles slithering over the floor. It grabs Robin by the ankles, dragging her towards a wall and hoisting her up. They grab all her limbs and spread them out around her so she can't move.

"Steve! Mack! Nancy!"

They immediately shoot into action. Nancy starts hitting them whit the butt-end of her shotgun, while Mack opts for her knife, slashing into the tentacle with short and powerful stabs.

Steve starts swinging his axe and hits the tentacles with it.

Then, the tentacles grab Steve's axe, pulling him with it. He gets dragged to the opposite wall, pulled up by vines around his neck and midriff.

"God fucking damnit STEVE!"

Mack is in distress, like any other reasonable person would be. A few seconds being caugt off guard causes the tentacles to go after her next. It wraps around her wrist, her knife dragging against the wall as she gets pulled up. In an attempt to free her hand, she stabs her other hand. That pain is nothing compared to her certain situation, her ankles get grabbed and pushed against the wall, her other hand violently getting snatched above her head. She's screaming out her lungs, hoping it could have any effect on getting more power to free her from these vines.

As she looks down, she sees Robin's hand. On the floor is Nancy, looking around her before she gets a vine of her own latching on her ankle. It causes her to fall and pulls her to the wall, pinning her against it a few inches under Steve.

"We're all gonna die! We're all gonna fucking di-"

Before she can finish her greatest wish right now, she also gets a vine around her neck. It slams her head against the wall, which was previously hanging down in defeat. As it grows tighter and tighter around her neck, the one around her right hand tightens too. That made her drop the knife to the floor, making her helpless against any other defense.

According to the choking noises around her, Nancy and Robin have gotten some necklaces of their own.

...

(Original dialogue)

Hopeless.

That's all what's going through Mackenzie's head right now. Where would she be if she just stayed home that night in Eddie's trailer? Where would she be if she was honest about her drinking and smoking habits towards her father? Where would she be if she acted like all the rest, forcing herself to fit in in order to not have a piece of salami chucked at you when you're walking towards your lunchtabel.

But yet, those situations didn't happen. If there's anything determinisme taught her, there is no 'what if?'. Every action lead to this moment, and she technically has no choice in what the future brings. But Spinoza can suck a dick, because she isn't giving up. This situation might be absolute shit, but she deserves more than to die like this. She deserves to fight this thing with her friends, she deserves to save a town that detests her, and she deserves to live her life the way she fucking wants to.

...

(1:37:47)

And there he is. Vecna. Slash Henry. Slash one. Hung in the air, tentacles seemingly attached to his body. He's quite the ugly piece of steak. But meat is meat, and it has only one purpose in life, that's to be cooked to a crisp.

Robin, Steve and Mack get their bottles out, ready to aim and throw. Mack flicks her lighter on and lights Steve's bottle, the rag of cloth immediately catching flame. Here it is. Here is the moment they've been waiting for. Killing. Vecna. 

Steve threw the bottle, determination visible on his face. It hits him right in the chest and lights him up in flames. The group flinches away from the explosion and sudden heat but doesn't back away from the fight. As the tentacles detach from his body, he screams in pain. Or anger. It's hard to tell. He drops to the floor, staring at the friends in front of him. 

Mack lights Robin's bottle, who also throws it directly at Vecna. Then it was Mack's turn. She lights the bottle, stares Vecna right in the eye and throws it, screaming and hitting him right on his upper chest. Nancy approaches Vecna as he stumbles back, taking a shot, then another, and another, and another. With each shot, he gets closer and closer to the window. When he gets up, he starts to charge at Nancy, howling at her like in a nightmare. She takes the last shot, the last shot that they need.

He gets blown back, right into the window, falling to the ground. A loud thud lets them know he's at the bottom. Nancy drops the gun from eye level.

As they run outside to check for the corpse, all they find are specks of fire where he landed. They look at each other in confusion. What could this mean? 

"Fuck it, I'm leaving. My job here is done."

"Mack no!"

It was too late for Steve's scream to have any effect on her. She starts running through the woods, knowing where to go without knowing the route. She keeps running, not caring about how much her neck hurts by just breathing, or the blood that's dripping down her hand, she keeps running. 

...

(Original dialogue, get your tissues out)

She gets to the trailer park, but she isn't happy with the sight she sees. Eddie, lying on the ground, surrounded by dead demobats, Dustin hugging his body. She freezes for a second, all the breath leaving her lungs. She takes a deep breath, letting it all out in one scream.

"EDDIE!"

She runs towards them, and she sees Dustin crying. She drops to her knees in front of Dustin, cupping his face in her hands.

"Tell me what happened Dustin, tell me!"

"The bats! The bats Mack!"

Dustin could hardly get any words through his sobs. Mack cuts off Eddie's shirt, checking the damage. They've taken a good amount of flesh, but he can still be saved.

"I didn't run away, Mackie."

"Sit still, Munson. Scream as loud as you can, I don't care. Just stay with me here."

She takes the bag off her back, ripping it open and dumping everything out. This may not be the best sterile environment, but it's the best they have. She takes the bottle of disinfectant and dumps it over a clean cloth. 

"Stay with me, freak, stay with me!"

She presses the cloth to his wounds, Eddie screams in pain and clutches Dustin's hand. Once she had finished cleaning it, she grabs some cotton pads designed to go on open wounds and presses them to his sides, wrapping gauze around them as tightly as she can.

"M... Mack... this is gonna be my year... '86..."

"Sssh, it's gonna be okay Ed, you're gonna be alright. Stay with me, will you? Don't leave."

Tears were, once again, streaming down her face. She grasps Eddie's hand close to her chest.

"We're gonna get you out of here, treat you well. Remember when you said you were taking me to that gig you have? We need to do that, Eds, just us and Steve. Don't give up Eddie, think... think of Chrissy, think of uncle Wayne, corroded coffin, think of them Eddie. Don't fucking give up!"

There's that toothy smile again, now stained with blood and tears. 

"Take care of my guitar, will you?"

"No, I won't, I fucking won't, Eddie. You're gonna keep playing that guitar until we save up for a fender. Come on, Eddie. Don't lose hope in yourself."

"Say it, say you'll take care of her."

Mack puts her head on his chest, sobbing loudly and struggling to get her words out.

"I... I'll take care of her..."

"Henderson... you're gonna have to take care of those little sheep for me Henderson. Say it."

"I... I'll take care... I'll take care of them..."

"Cause... cause we're gonna graduate... r- right Mack?"

He slightly nudges her with his arm, causing her to lift her head and look at him.

"F- fuck yes we are, '86 baby"

"Eigh- '86."

Then, there were more footsteps coming from the woods. Steve, Robin, and Nancy. The moment Steve saw them hunched over Eddie, he ran towards them, falling to his knees next to his head. He puts a hand under Eddie's chin, looking into his eyes and getting a smile in return.

"H... hey there, pretty boy."

Steve shook his head, tears swelling in his eyes. He can't lose Eddie, not now, not ever.

"Hey there yourself, handsome."

He leans his forehead on Eddie's, only lifting his head to softly kiss his lips and to wipe away Eddie's tears.

"Euh, Steve, we're gonna need your help to get him back. Do you know a safe place where we can stay and rehabilitate for a few weeks?"

"Uh... maybe just my house, Mack. My parents shouldn't be home for a long time, you'll be safe there. I think we have some first aid kits there bu-"

"I have them at home too, so if we really have to I'll tell you how and when to get to my house."

"Alright..."

==*== 1 day later ==*==

While Mackenzie is putting her letter in the envelope, writing the address on it, she hears Eddie scream her name.

"Hey Mack! Come here!"

She runs across the giant house, almost slipping, and gets to the couch she helped Eddie to that morning.

"What's wrong? Did you break the stitches again?"

Yes, they had to sneak into Mack's house to get those supplies, but luckily, Mack was right about her father's shifts and they managed to completely avoid him coming home. 

"Can you get me something to drink?"

"Oh you shut the fuck up, you asshole. Do you really have to scream like that for a drink?"

Oh, Eddie is laughing his ass off right now. He clutches his stomach in pain through his laughter.

"Oh, God, I'm actually gonna break a stitch now. But pleeaasee??"

Mack rolls her eyes and goes to Steve's kitchen, grabbing a glass and filling it with water while she's looking out the gap in the curtains. Obviously, they shut off all contact with the outer world, not wanting to risk anyone seeing the still wanted criminals. She sees a car pull into the driveway, about to grab a gun, until she recognizes that it's Steve. When she finished filling the glass she brought it to Eddie, who was just watching some cartoons.

"Your boyfriend is here."

He smiles into his glass as they hear the door unlock and Steve enters. 

"How's Max?"

"Still in a coma, but they put all her limbs in casts, they said she was dead for a few minutes but somehow she came back."

"Oh that's amazing, how's Lucas?"

"He's having a hard time, really."

"Hmm yeah, I get that."

"Mack you're really acting like a mom now"

"No Eds, I'm the cool Aunt, you're dating the mom there."

Steve chuckles and walks over to the back of the couch, leaning over to give Eddie a kiss that lasts a little too long to just be called an innocent kiss. 

Mack lights a cigarette and turns her head away when Eddie tries to reach for it.

"Hey, what the fuck?!"

"You're supposed to be recovering, Eddie. Smoking is unhealthy."

She can't help but give a wink before taking another drag and exhaling away from everyone. Steve stands back up, ready to make an announcement.

"Tomorrow me and the rest are gonna help in a shelter. Donate clothes, pass around food, things like that."

"Hey, Steve. Can I call my dad? I don't want him to worry any longer and... I just need to talk to him Steve."

Tears started to well up in her eyes. She might come off as cold, or heartless, but her dad is the only person she has in her life that actually cares about her. When she was getting chocked by the tentacles, she thought a lot, mainly about death, but also about the things she missed out on. Things that she kept a secret. Her dad was completely supportive of her and Victoria, but she always kept her drugs and smoking habits from him. She kept any emotional feelings from him. She was scared of getting help anyway. 

Steve looked at her, a supportive look on his face.

"Maybe we can get Eddie's uncle here too." 

Eddie grabs the hand that Steve had been resting on the couch, pulling it down to guide Steve into a passionate kiss. There's no rushing, no lust, just love. Mack clears her throat, standing up from the couch.

"I uh... I gotta go do something anyway."

She rushes back upstairs, smiling because she knows Eddie is his old self again. She finished writing the address on the envelope, sealing it by licking the flap and closing it. She goes back downstairs and puts the letter next to the front door.

"Hey, Steve? Do you mind posting a letter for me? It's pretty important."

Steve looked up from the couch, confusion visible on his face.

"Who are you writing to right now?"

"My girlfriend back in Illinois.

...

(More original dialogue but this is the next day)

Mack was sitting in the living room, Eddie lying on the couch with his feet on her lap. Some boring TV series was on, she wasn't really paying attention. Steve went out to post the letter, but he'd been out for way longer than necessary.

Finally, the car pulls up to the driveway, Mack lets out a sigh of relief. She was really scared that the police would arrest him for hiding criminals or something. 

The door opened, and in walked Steve, but he was followed by 2 other people. Those people are Uncle Wayne and Mackenzie's dad. In disbelief, Mack stood up. Steve said the evening before that he might not be able to get them here until next week, and that asshole is one heck of a liar.

"Mackenzie, don't you ever leave like that again."

The last few days have been full of tears, so, of course, she's already crying even before she landed in her father's arms. Her knees almost gave away under her. She's never been more relieved to see her father than now.

Meanwhile, Uncle Wayne went to Eddie's side on the couch. Eddie was crying, barely able to get a word out. But while Mack and her dad were reuniting, he was able to tell him how he got like this, and told him who basically helped him cheat

"Mack helped me uncle, she wasted no time cleaning the wounds and all that doctor stuff."

After uncle Wayne thanked Mack, and her dad took a look at Eddie's stitches, they headed out again. 

Only a few minutes after they left, their town was covered with those dark clouds. Particles were drifting down from the sky. Not just normal particles, no. These were the same particles from the upside down.

"Fuck."

[duskythesomething]

omfg have i ever even given y'all the rundown on Tamakii's whole story?? he is such a Sad Boy allow me to explain-

so a few years back i had my first ever Real DnD with my ex and some former friends. i homebrewed my own race of catpeople that are essentially smaller humans with varying levels of feline features rather than straight up furries and called them Felikin, and i made Tamakii. this is the first depiction of him!

and whoo boy, i packed some backstory into this fella. Tamakii was sold off by his family, who lived in poverty, both to support their other children but to hopefully give him a chance at a more fulfiling life. he was bought by the royal family of the kingdom they lived in and groomed to be a guard for their young princess Natalina. they were both roughly similar in age, so they grew up together, and she was the only companionship he ever had. the idea was, either he survives and succeeds in his everlasting job, or he fails and dies trying and they just find a new guard for her. lucky for Tama, he's capable with a sword and in some magic, and he has an ability that allows him to take on a werecat form to protect others.

eventually, around the time that Tamakii was turning 20, their kingdom and a neighboring kingdom went to war. the battle came closer and closer to the city with the palace, and all hands ended up on deck fighting a losing battle. while his job was to protect Natalina specifically, he was also made to fend off attackers at the castle. in the midst of the battle, Tamakii got knocked unconscious by some sort of blast, and (where the DnD storyline actually began) woke up nearly a decade later, a continent away, buried halfway under rubble.

crawling from the wreckage, Tamakii was immediately thrown into typical DnD shenanigans, particularly fighting off and investigating a necromantic zombie apocalypse. the only important character from the party was a half-giant named Viggo, also searching for the special lady in his life. they do eventually find her, and Viggo parts ways with the group. the group also uncovers a dragon egg, which Tamakii lugged around until it hatched into a baby Tiamat, whom he named Tie-Dye. Tie-Dye stays with Viggo and his wife for the majority of Tamakii's adventures.

Tamakii's overall goal in life had shifted- he was supposed to be a protector and he failed. now, he was trying to figure out what exactly happened and get his shit back together. spoilers- he doesn't. i prefer to leave current-canon Tamakii off here, sad and angsty and struggling with his purpose in life especially regarding devotion to others. there is, though, two divering futures for Tamakii.

either way, Tamakii learns that it was Natalina who sent him away, hoping to give him a life of freedom she felt he deserved. her whereabouts are unknown, dead or alive, and the old kingdom definitely collapsed in that great war. in the first future, nothing spectactular happens, and Tamakii is just a really sad guy weighed down by failure, trying to move on with his new dragon child.

in the other future, Tamakii takes that fucked up necromancy knowledge he gained during the apocalypse and goes batshit crazy, trying to find Natalina to revive her and bring back his old life except, undead.

all in all, Tamakii is my sopping wet tragic catboy meowmeow who i use as a channel for all my Own personal failures and angst! here is a link to his Artfight page to see other art and facts about him: https://artfight.net/character/1653149.tamakii

#mrowr.txt #ask to tag #tamakii #long post #this is why i post about him so much #he's got that feral devotion to someone but also that sweet failure #to do anything correctly in his entire life #he was made to be a machine p much and then thrown into freedom like ????WHAT DO I DO NOW

[borreloadsavagedragon]

Guess whoo, our butterfly girl Droite/Dextra for the ask meme 👀🦋

DROITE!!!! I'm so sorry this is so late omfg, I have the attention span of a squirrel gdjsakljkg

First impression: I'm the worst so when I first saw her, I was like 😳😳😳 Oh she's gorgeous Her design and color palette both are impeccable I needed to know more about her immediately

Impression now: Oh my god I love her, I was not disappointed for what we were shown, in fact I'm rage-induced because of how LITTLE we saw her One, her design is SO good, I've considered cosplaying her before omg I love how strong-willed and all business she is, I know it's like trope-y that the one woman is the voice of reason between all of the just unhinged members of the Heartland government but she also gets things done, she's got a coldness to her, I really vibe with her gjdsklaj I'm also so unbelievably salty she only got so much screentime to show off!!!!! Like honestly the Zexal girls were too strong and got shafted too quickly for the plot's sake bc it would be 100 episodes lighter, but Droite especially felt cruel because she was shown to be SO smart and cunning, but she wasn't allowed to show it off more and of course one of the duels where all of her tactics were on full display had to be against the main villain of that season, agh In a perfect world, she put Tron in the hole <3 Also she can just casually fly a helicopter? Sign me UP

Favorite moment: God, her duel for Gauche is just so touching, genuinely that tag duel is one of my favorites in all of Zexal, and the Spartan city episodes in general are some of my favorite to rewatch anytime I feel like throwing on some Zexal because you see how far the pair of them both come from their backstory, their shared trauma being under Heartland's training, and then also the stress of being put under government operations It's her push that is the first true crack in Alito's hold on him The only thing I'd change is having her win, but it's a yugioh show so we can't have that, aggressive side eyes at gallop

Idea for a story: I'm a sham and I don't have any ideas for her specifically at the moment BUT I need to find an excuse to put the three of trainees somewhere..........

Unpopular opinion: I think we all agree she was shafted and underappreciated so I'm not sure omg I guess I as a person am afraid of butterflies and therefore am creeped out by her deck so that's... a thing We're not gonna dissect that today GJSDAKLGJAGK

Favorite relationship: I LOVE her dynamic with Gauche, I absolutely love them, I love that she went with him and how much he cares about her in return, I love how clearly you can see what they've endured as a pair, like they're the definition of soulmates and that's without giving a romantic context, while I'm also on board with them as a pair, I also love that without needing to label anything, they're just two people who will find a way and will stay together in any lifetime I also like where her and Kaito end up after the fact, I wish they'd somehow squeezed one last private conversation into the Spartan City episodes like in the WDC when she calls him out, but I do love he came around on her and Gauche both and how he recognizes her strengths and her spirit, like even vocally defending her skill to Rio and Ryouga is a huge step for him since the last time we saw Kaito consider Droite, he was relatively in different, because even when he was playing the part of the aloof, distant soldier who didn’t need help, he was watching and taking note of her in his own little gremlin way However I'm also beating Kaito with my bare hands for his initial treatment of her, he literally fumbled the bag

Favorite headcanon: Oh you KNOW she keeps in contact with Kaito, she'll video call him when she knows he's working long hours in the lab, sometimes to vent about Gauche, sometimes to make sure he's not spending his entire life working

#THANK YOU #I'm beefing with yugioh writing today #asks #answered

Haikyuu Theater Kid Headcanons: Karasuno Edition

Kageyama:

Plz the way he’d freeze up and come off super stiff

Like he would just stand there like 🕴

So awkward and sweaty

Gets mad at himself

Has tried to set the props

Played the moon once tho ig so good for him 🤷‍♂️

Daichi:

Director Daichi!!!

Solid actor

Yells a lot

He has to keep all the loud ass mfs in line though so don’t blame him

People have different responses to him yelling: Tsukishima puts in headphones, Suna records it, and Tanaka yells louder to assert dominance

Sugawara told Daichi “I can’t get scared when you yell though because your yelling is kinda hot”

Daichi now only speaks to him in a stern tone

RIP Suga

Sics Ennoshita on anyone who tries to fuck around during practice

Sugawara:

Co Director Sugaaaaa

Has so much chemistry with the other cast members

Playful and lighthearted

Keeps everyone on good terms with each other

At the same time, also is in charge of those chaotic theater kid trips to iHop

They have been kicked out of six iHops so far and are aiming to be kicked out of ten by the time the show is over

Daichi does not know about this. He does wonder why Suga keeps giving him free pancakes, but it’s honestly not the most questionable thing Suga has done

Kiyoko:

Has a beautiful singing voice (ofc)

Helps with management: making schedules, helping with scripts, etc.

So many people just come to see her so she ups the audience count significantly

Gets more applause than most of the actors

Also her and Yachi made a really cute sign saying “break a leg”

She stopped using it though after 3 events

1. Lev actually did break Yaku’s leg with his uncoordinated ass attempting hard choreography

2. Bokuto approached her after practice and had asked, “Do I have to break my leg Kiyoko? I really don’t want to. I feel like it’d hurt a lot.” 😥

3. Tanaka and Nishinoya were ready to break each others’ legs to gain her approval and Daichi had to get in the middle before Tanaka bashed a chair into Nishinoya’s legs

Her influence 😫 truly the baddest of bitches

Ukai:

Saw Kageyama acting for one second and said “I’m gonna need a drink for this”

Told Takeda he signed up to be a coach to volleyball not “whatever the hell is going on here”

Takeda told him to quit because he came into every play practice drunk

Tanaka:

Yells literally everything

Gets so fired up before a performance

Wants to impress the girls in the audience (especially stage manager Kiyoko)

Threatens anyone who looks at Kiyoko

Will straight up growl at anyone who hits on her; he has driven people who were going to audition away because he threatened them

Cannot put this man in stage combat as he will actually deck the other person

Hinata:

Ball of energy

Doesn’t ever stfu. Ever. I mean ever. 

Doesn’t understand when it isn’t his line, he shouldn’t be speaking.

Keeps trying to one-up himself

Yells motivation in the middle of practice. And dress rehearsals. And the actual play.

Stage. Fright. OMFG this man is puking onstage

Voice cracks galore

Gets very antsy when he is not on stage and complains

Sings off-key. Loudly. No shame.

PEP! TALKS!

Nishinoya:

Also wants to impress the girls in the audience and stage manager Kiyoko

So enthusiastic and loud

Is like a human energy drink

This man cannot stand still

He bounces around on stage and will like jump on his castmates’ shoulders

No fight or action scenes for him as he will yell “ROLLING THUNDER” at least one of the times

Gets really focused during the actual performances though

Hype 👏 Man 👏

Takeda:

Tries to give pep talks using all those weird metaphors

Leaves everyone more confused than when they started

Tries to help Hinata pronounce words. One time he taught Hinata the correct pronunciation of a word, and Hinata said, “Well it sounds cooler the other way so I’m gonna say it the other way!”

It’s ok Takeda; you tried your best 😌

Asahi:

Plz u think this man is going onstage 😆

(He actually has a pretty singing voice tho low-key)

Tsukishima:

Literally just makes fun of everybody the whole time

Isn’t even in the play; he just comes to practice to roast the hell out of everyone and then leaves

Smirks every time someone messes up

Literally the worst

Yamaguchi:

Actually wanted to try out for the play, but thought Tsukishima would say it wasn’t cool

He is right tbh

Secretly asks to be an understudy in case somebody dropped out

It’s okay king. You have your jump float and nobody can take that away from you 😌

Yachi:

Villager B

Nah but actually she’d be a costume designer or something- she is definitely helping behind the scenes

Gets more frightened before the show than the actual actors

Ennoshita, Kazuhito, and Kinoshita

[jaskiersvalley]

Omfg, I've read through just about all of your stories and they are incredible! You write with such a passion and every story just feels like it should be cannon between the characters! Especially Silver Tongue, Silver Hand and the Yennefer/Geralt/Jaskier add on, it just hit ALL the feels for me. Thank you for sharing 😁😍

Your words never cease to flatter me <3 Writing has become my life so I'm glad you enjoy it so much. I've got a little more in the way of feels for you but it's more Eskel flavoured.

The whole Lil Bleater thing had started out as a joke well before Lambert's time. He'd heard about it from the others. It became a bit of a tradition to keep an eye on the path at the start of each winter to see the burly Witcher with a goat on a tether. It was always a white goat with brown markings and everyone treated it like it's the same goat that has spent over a decade by Eskel's side. To Lambert there was a certain amount of comfort in seeing Eskel and his goat coming up the path. For all the uncertainty of their lives, that sight was a constant. So even when he became a Witcher, Lambert was one of the first to get back, just to see Eskel and his goat return.

There was no time to watch for Eskel the year of the sacking. Lambert had returned to a smouldering ruin and a few bewildered Witchers who were trying to make sense of what had happened. All hands on deck to try and salvage what remained of Kaer Morhen and to honour the remains of the dead they found, Lambert couldn't linger by the parapets to watch. Too much work and not enough people made it impossible. He was almost glad he wasn't there when Eskel ambled in, that he didn't have to see the way his face fell and took in the devastation around them. But that dinner Lambert sat next to him, shoulders pressed together.

It took a couple of years to get Kaer Morhen back into the shape of something habitable. Most of the keep was out of bounds but the courtyard, the great hall, the kitchens and a few rooms were salvageable. Not that there were many of them left who wanted rooms. Each year fewer and fewer Wolves came back until it was just Vesemir, Geralt, Eskel and Lambert. Plus Lil Bleater. She was there every single year, frolicking around and causing mayhem. Lambert had no idea how Eskel did it, always finding a goat that was as much of a menace as it was a delight.

"What's your trick?" he had asked one evening while they were giving the stables a thorough clean. Lil Bleater as getting her nose into everything, from trying to drink from the filthy bucket to stealing Lambert's brush.

"I ask her nicely." Which was timed perfectly with Lil Bleater backing up to charge at the straw bale that Eskel had been trying to spread out in a stall. It drew a tired "Bleats, please!" from Eskel which went merrily ignored. Lambert didn't even bother trying to hide his snicker.

It was always nice when it was the same goat two years running. There had been one time Eskel had the same goat for three winters and that one had been the goat to end up on its back, carried around like a baby. Vesemir grumbled when Lambert had given the goat a bonnet but otherwise left them to their own devices.

The year Eskel got home with barely healing wounds down his face had been hard. That time Lil Bleater was a quiet goat, much more likely to demand cuddles than get up to mischief and Lambert had never been more grateful. He hadn't been able to get through to Eskel, nobody had. But the stupid goat did what none of them could and offered companionship. Never before had Lambert felt he was indebted to a goat.

Not every year was sunshine and roses. The year Lil Bleater got into the alchemy ingredients was a dark one. But she was a Witcher's goat so got a suitable send-off on a pyre. By the time Eskel returned with her successor the following year, the door had a new lock on it, high up and it definitely needed opposable thumbs to open it.

Worst though was when Eskel was running late. He should have been there a week ago by Lambert's calculations. He kept an eye on the path to Kaer Morhen and watched as a lone figure approached. No horse, no goat, no pack, nothing. And emaciated Eskel stumbled home.

"No Bleats?" Lambert asked rather than interrogate Eskel on just what happened. He wished he hadn't enquired though, not when Eskel's face twisted into something pained and a hand rubbed over his stomach.

"I was desperate."

Understanding didn't make it any easier and Lambert simply nodded. He what he could of his to Eskel, spare shirts, potion bottles, boots, anything a Witcher might need on his travels. Winter just wasn't the same though. It wasn't just the fact that Eskel was withdrawn and silent, eerily still when hugged. Something was missing, that spark of life that Kaer Morhen cradled each winter was gone.

There was nothing for it, Lambert knew what he had to do. As soon as the weather permitted he was out the door and headed into the wilderness. Within the hour he spotted what he'd been looking for, a herd of wild goats. As soon as they spotted him they were scattering and catching one was nigh on impossible. The couple of white ones with brown spots bounded off into the undergrowth and only a pure black one watched him with disdain from a distance. It was going to have to do, Lambert didn't have the time or the patience to hunt down and capture another one. When he hunted, he never did it with the intent of zero injury for his prey. Slowly, he approached the goat and cast axii as soon as it was within range.

"Stay," he ordered and the goat stayed. Getting a leash on it was quick work and Lambert remembered what Eskel had said to him all those years ago. On a whim he added, "Be nice for Eskel."

The goat trotted along, occasionally nibbling at the leash if Lambert wasn't walking at a decent speed. They managed to get back to Kaer Morhen and marched into the kitchen.

"What have you got there?" Vesemir asked, staring at the black goat whose tail wiggled at the attention. At the table Eskel stared at them with a blank expression.

Marching over, Lambert thrust the end of the leash at Eskel.

"Lil Bleater."

For the first time that winter, Eskel's lips flickered into the ghost of a smile. He took the leash and held out a hand at the black goat.

"Hello there. I've missed you."

Stepping back, Lambert watched and barely flinched when a hand squeezed his shoulder.

"You did good," Vesemir murmured. "Thank you."
