prime numbers for the layton asks?

I personally consider 1 a prime number, but uhhhhh most people disagree with me on that so I'm not going to include it here.

2) What’s your favourite game?

Unwound Future! Though considering my favorite PL character is Claire that shouldn't come as a surprise haha

3) What’s your favourite soundtrack?

The plvpw soundtrack is my favorite! I listen to the AA soundtracks a lot (especially the ones from the 2D games) and I really like how it's used in Ace Attorney. The plvpw OST is a lot like DGS's -- I constantly had the DGS themes stuck in my head while playing plvpw, especially the Logic/Trick one and the cross-examination one. And I really like DGS's soundtrack (it's my favorite of the AA soundtracks for 3D games) so

5) What’s your favourite setting? (Misthallery, Monte d’Or, etc…)

Misthallery is really pretty, I want to paint it someday. I'm also fond of Future London and its fucked up architecture <3

11) Do you have a favourite quote? If yes, what is it?

"I'll miss you...and our unwound future" is forever going to live rent-free in my mind, but it makes me cry, so I don't think I can consider it a favorite >_<

13) If you could meet any character’s voice actor and have them say something to you as their character, who would you choose and what would you have them say?

No idea.

17) Do you have any headcanons? If yes, what?

I do a lot of headcanoning! I have some Claire backstory stuff that I've been fleshing out for a one-shot I've been writing as well as for an AU I might post some details on,,,, someday? So I won't elaborate on those. I also have a Barnham backstory that I came up with because I was working on a pre-canon character study for Darklaw and had to figure out how he ended up in Labyrinthia. I also have a variety of queer hcs! I guess my most esoteric one is that Alfendi's aro (both alters, but host is aroallo and alter is aroace; he and Hilda were aroallo4aroallo pre-Forbodium). Also I know it's a little controversial to headcanon robots as aro but...Aurora aro agender. also Henry and Angela are both arospec. this really became the "aro headcanons" section huh. well I'm aro and I like making characters aro so

Some other general headcanons: Layton likes having his hair played with, but only while it's short -- he hated it as a teenager; he and Claire used to go back and forth making up random things a true gentleman/proper lady does (I've said this one before here but); Layton's favorite tea is Earl Grey but after a certain time he only drinks chamomile; Luke was in vet school when anime events happened; Angela always got a lot of valentines in Stansbury despite being taken (I may or may not write a fic about this,,, I do have about a month, but still...); Targent didn't come for Des and his family until a couple years before Last Specter -- while it would have taken time for him to build the Excavation Mecha and the Detragant I don't think he lost them that long pre-canon

19) Do you prefer the 2D art or the 3D art?

2D by far! Miracle Mask lagged my laptop hard when I was playing it and ruined some of the experience for me. AL and plvpw weren't laggy but I still generally prefer the 2D. plvpw has the best 3d models though for both PL and AA

23) Has the series had an impact on your life?

I mean, I've only been here for what, three months? It's had an impact so far on me, but I guess I'll see.

29) Did you enjoy Mystery Room?

Yes!

31) Did you enjoy Eternal Diva?

Absolutely.

37) What’s the wackiest NPC you have ever seen?

The ice skating kid from Froenburg is pretty wacky

Starting a new thing called SFW Sundays! ^^

the deal is that i find make sfw fanart of a character who primarily appears in nsfw contexts.

Why I'm Doing This

erotic artworks often don't afford their characters the same depth as those of non-erotic works (and of course, authors of these works don't necessarily have to if that isn't their goal). still, i have a fascination with moments of character depth embedded within a lewd work— when an author injects humanity into a character that could have just been a fully-objectified titty monster— or, better yet, works which purposefully intertwine day-to-day character depth with erotic situations. because damn it! I'm a person who's trying to integrate my repressed lewd interests into my already-complex sense of self, so I enjoy works which embody that ideal!

Who is Featured This Week?

(Source material CW: monsterfucking, sexual violence)

Vise from indie "erotic action RPG" Ruins Seeker 「ルインズシーカー」! The game is created by Nupuryu (ぬぷ竜) who you can find on twitter (cursed site) @ nupuryu. Note that the creator's twitter is R18 o7

Ruins Seeker begins when our fantasy adventurer MC, Quem, sets foot into Heaven's Ladder, a sky-high vertical rougelite dungeon. She's the first person to enter in 500 years!... and she immediately gets cursed! D: Vise (supporting character) is an advisor/guide— mysteriously knowledgeable about the dungeon— who lends Quem a hand in climbing Heaven's Ladder and breaking the curse. these two are so gay!! <3 like the whole time i played i felt like they should really date (absent extenuating circumstances) ^^ Vise is at every checkpoint waiting for her girlcrush and gives her potions and they're so cute when they banter !! >w< Vise's flat, distantly wise, and caged demeanor contrasts excellently with Quem's expressive energy and worldly strength! °^°

Also did i mention Vise lives rent-free in my head? i've tried painting her on three earlier occasions in my art journey >w<

<- 2020, 2021, 2022 ->

Game Content

The world of Ruins Seeker is refreshingly fleshed out! With a charming hub town— which feels large and lived-in. There are also meaningful side quests involving the residents ^^ The main plot can be surprisingly sappy, which is right up my alley :^)

The gameplay is awesome!! It's absolutely unbelievable that this was made in RPG Maker. Instead of turn-based combat, this game has real-time birds-eye action where you juggle a melee weapon and ranged weapon (the plug-in list that makes this happen is... impressive!) There's so many different weapons too! I remember loving the 20-ton hammer and bone needles (maybe the names are wrong it's been a few years).

Erotic Content (cw: discussions of monster fetishes and fictional sexual violence)

not gonna lie i wasn't a big fan of the erotic aspect. like, i don't hate that it exists, but i can't help but feel a gap between the erotic content vs general story and gameplay. the curse that Quem gets struck with is an arousal curse that makes the monsters of the dungeon want to fuck her. these erotic scenes are triggered by game over (losing all health in the dungeon) and they're animated live 2D! they're also unique according to the type of monster that defeats Quem, and there are a LOT of MONSTERS. im impressed but not ecstatic about how many of these animations are in this game. truly, a lot of time and effort went into making this!

the lewd content doesn't feel well-integrated though. i do not recall many points when Quem actively struggles with a desire to fuck monsters. like, either you lose and the curse is triggered, or it gets flicked ON/OFF during a discrete cutscene to remind you it's there, or it's gameplay as usual and Quem is just her typical, go-getter adventurer self. if you don't lose, you can almost completely forget the lewd content is even there! which may be a plus, but i feel like there were missed opportunities for internal character conflict (which is why i like moody Vise more than brash Quem, sorry Quem! i still like you!!)

Final Words

so yeah! i like this game and i like Vise <3 though i obviously can't recommend it to everyone because the objectionable content is— in a few places (main story cutscenes)— an unremovable part of the game. i skipped a large portion of the optional lewd content (game over scenes and i think a side quest?) cuz i wasn't interested in exploring it back when i played the first time. tho if i were to replay, i might check it out.

Ruins Seeker was originally published in Japanese on DLsite and is available in English on Steam.

I can't tell if this spin off is going to tell the story up to a certain point, or if where going all the way and having the characters meet their alternate selves thanks to the redesigns. Honestly, I just want it to be good and bit uplifting. Vol 8 was a low point both in and out of universe (I was ok with it, but I won't ignore the fact their where problems). A spinoff that goes back to the early days might be the kick we need.

I have very complex feelings about this. It is very strange seeing a spin-off air along side the source material that will no doubt have similar beats at certain points. I think it’s reasonable to say RT has somehow managed to compete with themselves; especially since they’re both airing in 2022. I legitimately want Ice Queendom to be amazing, but I fear a situation where it’s beating up Vol9 and stealing it’s lunch money. Contrast, maybe this is the fire under some people’s seat at RT to want to go absolutely crazy with making Vol9 the best RWBY had ever been because no one should want to be outshined by a spin-off given to other people to work on. There’s gonna be an inevitable debate on what people might prefer and that’s fine. That’s media, but the feeling of one group has a far better use and understanding of the characters should be avoided as much as possible. The resemblance shouldn’t feel like night and day. I dread the possibility of watching a really bad episode of Vol9 and then Ice Queendom does actually do it’s own thing that isn’t a rehash and it’s done immaculately. The fandom is going to be so annoying if that happens.

Flip side to this situation, I’m already worried for Ice Queendom. The literal first thing that came to mind watching the trailer was “Oh they have to nail the fight scenes.” I’m not one of those fans that lives or dies by animation but it’s no debate Vol1 and Vol2 have fight scenes that live rent free in people’s head; reasons people got hooked on RWBY to begin with. It’s a real testament to how Monty was blowing everyone’s mind and going crazy in the best way possible. Granted, 2D and 3D animation is wildly different but if they do the Nevermore fight, which I’m sure they will since we saw the exam scene, they have to go crazy in their own right. Nobody is going to want to see that play out and end with thinking “this was better in 2013” I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a bit of pressure in that studio to do remake scenes justice. If it was the Qrow vs Tyrian fight then yeah, it could be a bit meh or on par. But moments like gun-chucks really do stick with fans so much. A point in their favor though is they might have to time, ability, and money to add the characters interacting more which isn’t a kick to RT they could only do so much back then and are still limited in different ways this studio won’t be. It’s only natural Studio Shaft would be able to do things that couldn’t be done. If it does go it’s own direction with the timeline then I hope it’s interesting. So much of Remnant and lore just isn’t used a lot or at all.

I really just want both of them to do well and tell a story they want to tell. Comparisons are unavoidable but nothing should be a blowout. It would actually be funny if both properties went down completely different paths while doing right by the characters. Like just imagine….

What if we lived in a world where BlackSun and Bmblb happened? There’s no reason it couldn’t happen. We have Pyrrha alive, and dead respectively. This has potential really fun joyride of an experience where many fans have their cake and eat it too because one show is feeding them while the other show feeds others in little ways like that. But yeah, that’s basically my thoughts as of now. Hopefully things go well.

so we played turnabout countdown, here are my first impressions of aa5

PROS

-I really like Athena! she's got such a big personality, and we're starting to get hints of her backstory and character arc right off the bat. I think she's a great new addition to the games! i love her design, too

-I LOVE the mood matrix. it's probably my favorite cross-examination mechanic so far. it's not confusing to use, but it also requires the player to think about how to use it more than just staring at a sprite or finding the right evidence. And the little animation/sprites that play during it are so cool!

-it's a pretty creative first case. I like how it operates effectively as a tutorial, but allows you to skip some of the tutorial aspects, and also obviously ties into the larger story, both dropping breadcrumbs for the future and making us wonder what trial was in progress when the courtroom was bombed

-APOLLO MY GOOD FRIEND APOLLO. i know sorta what happened to him but im STILL intrigued! apollo didn't get much development/secrets in his own game, so i'm excited to see them let him be a Man of Mystery. all aboard the apollo angst train!

-the new sprites are really good! everyone's super animated, and their sprites feel so full of motion and personality. especially athenas. her sprites are SO good

-also this is the first time we get to see apollo's front facing sprites, and i really like them. especially the crossed-arm one. yeah, i've seen that one before. it's really cool to see that callback to aa4 in such a sinister way, showing how kristoph, his first mentor, still influences him

-the new fully animated and voiced cutscenes beat ass

CONS

-yo the 3d lowkey sucks lmao

-ok maybe thats a bit harsh. the 3d looks fine on characters that were designed for it, like athena, juniper, and the new payne. but apollo and phoenix look really janky and weird

-the scene before the trial felt kinda long and drawn out

-doesnt seem to really have the same sense of humor

-some of the sprites just look Bad. like phoenix's grimace, which was so charming in 2d, makes him look like a night terror. also apollos hair horns are so sickly now. he looks like a praying mantis

-it is SO unrealistic that apollo took a leave of absence and phoenix and trucy were like "aight ok." trucy didnt even say anything. remember when apollo tried to walk away from them and they did a huge bit to get him to stay in aa4? they should have done that again! and that would have been a really good opportunity for character writing, for apollo to stand up to them or snap at them, showing that he and their relationship have changed since aa4!

-i cant remember any of the music, at least not that we heard in the first case. given how pursuit 2001 and the apollo justice Tense theme live in my head rent free, this is unusual

Fuck it im doing it

My 2020 top 20 movie list

(Disclaimer that most of these weren't made in 2020 but I just watched them this year. These aren't also really in a very particular order but they are lowkey ranked) (i also had to be choosey with the images i out cause of the limit, but yeah dont mind that)

20. The perfection

The plot twist in this movie is *chefs kiss* there was no way for me to predict the ending, bug as far as thrillers goes, it is brilliant. And also, lesbians. It can be a pretty triggering movie for ab*se and general gore, but really I love the pacing and the thrill of it.

19. The shining

Ah yes, a classic horror, and though I may feel iffy about Stanley Kubrick, this movie was pretty good. But I am saying this as a person that didn't read the book. The blood rushing down the hallway was really my favourite visual on the movie. It was a movie that made me felt genuinely scared while watching it, like hiding behind my blanket but also sweating scared, the suspense was pretty thrilling though

18. Doctor Sleep

Man do I love Danny Torrance, and Abra, fuck I love them both. Again, I never read the book, but my ignorance keeps me in bliss. The visuals of this movie are also great, and the emotions this movie puts through? I'm just glad headcanons exist, but really I did enjoy this movie even if it wasn't what I was expecting.

17. Birds of prey

Harley deserved a movie, and the fact that it was directed by a woman makes me love it so much more because we just got to see harley doing the things that she fucking wanted. This movie is wlw solidarity, from Margot robbie to Mary Elizabeth Winstead, women with crossbows? Sign me the fuck up. And from all the DC films I've seen, it's so much brighter, in the visual sense, there's colour! There's character! And not everyone is just brooding in darkness, its the type of movie that would make me actually watch and enjoy DC films.

16. Charlie's angels

Firstly, lesbians. Thank you. But really, its a good action comedy and really I'll jump at the chance to see women kick ass.

15. My octopus teacher

I've never cried over an octopus before, so that was an experience. And even though this is technically not a movie, I still wanted to put it on here cause it was really just a great documentary, especially since it happened in my home country and im very oddly proud of that fact.

14. Knives out

Murder mystery and chris evans go so well together. I have made a longer post, but to sum it up, like most of the movies on this list. The colours and the pacing and just the atmosphere of the movie was spectacular, and even though I couldve guessed the ending, I was still on the edge of my seat for most of it

13. Ready or not

I love this new wave of eat the rich media. Samara weaving is a great actor and I am in love with her and this whole movie. It really was something that I hadn't actually seen before and the fact that the whole curse thing at the end was true was really just wow. Along with eat the rich, I love the feral female energy lately, and the whole white clothing slowly but surely being covered in blood.

12. Geralds game

The line "youre only made of moonlight" lives in my head rent free. This movie, was really an experience and for a movie with only two people in it for the majority, it is really well done. I'll always feel iffy about a man writing a woman's experience (specifically) but I do love the way this movie went, yeah I hated the "Hand" scene, but I still enjoyed the after math of it.

11. The old gaurd

Again, more lesbians, what more could I ask for? The concept for this movie is brilliant, immortal mercenaries is the only trope I want from now on, and found family.

10. Parasite

Again with the eat the rich. This movie was mindblowing, and just, the imagery!! And im glad they didn't dub it in English cause fuck that, I enjoyed it perfectly with subtitles.

9. song of the sea

This movie, this movie! Is so precious and I had that song stuck in my head for days.the name Saoirse is also so oddly pleasing to hear. This story is so beautiful, the music is amazing and it makes me want to be a fae.

8. Scott pilgrim vs the world

This movie really did pass what my expectations for what I thought it was gonna be, the music was amazing, the transitions and editing style was *chefs kiss* and even though I felt like I was in a fever dream the whole time, it'd be a fever dream I'd gladly rewatch.

7. The imitation game

Thank you Alan Turing. This movie recked me, like emotionally, I was a mess when I was done with it, but damn was it good, like I really just felt something while watching it, I mean most.of the movies on this list did, but this one just really hit me in some way.

6. Klaus

At least there are still good Christmas movies being made. Actually, I was a mess for this one too, the second that child got that sleigh thing it was over for my emotions. The whole sirge of turning Santa into this big macho dude really is working out and that's how Santa should always be depicted. I could gush about the animation style of this movie all fucking day, I love it so much (and the shadows!!! Ahh the shadows!) It really is just incredible.

5. I'm thinking of ending things

Hey man, I knew this was gonna fuck me up just by looking at the trailer, but there was absolitley no way to prepare for whatever was about to happen. Even after watching it, I have no idea what happened. But I still found it great, I love movies that give me an existential crisis.

4. Spirited away

All I wanted to do, was eat everything in that movie, even if it would turn me into a pig, holy hells this movie is good. There was just this satisfying appeal to it that I can't quite put into words. Its beautiful like everything studio ghibli movie ever.

3. The Willoughbys

I never knew I needed a found family movie with a bunch of kids that were already family. I've made a longer post about this movie, and I dont think I could really say more, this movie is so fucking touching and I love the direction it went in plot wise.

2. Howl's moving castle

Again, I may not have understood wtf was going on, but I'll be damned if I didn't love every second of it. There is no doubt that this movie is stunning, and I really am a suckered for early 2000's 2d animation, because!!! Look at it!!! Studio Ghibli films always just floor me with how good they look. I really wanna read the book, because I would absolutley love to see a feral Sophie giving howl shit for crying over hair.

1. Us

This movie will always be my no. 1 it is amazing and I love everything jordan peele has done with his movies. Especially for it to have a full black cast, and those black people have darker skin than what is normally shown in media. The feral but also calculated nature of each character is beautiful and nothing can ever make me hate this movie

I hope you enjoyed this incoherent "review" of my favourite movies I watched in 2020, its been a shit show and movies really have been a place of comfort for me. But stay safe and happy new year!

━━━ Atsumu Miya is a free-loader. Living inside his twin brother's home as if it was his, he would bring home girls and annoy Osamu most of the time. Y/N L/N is quite the opposite apparently because she's a virgin loser. Being the popular anonymous BL mangaka known as Yamazaki, she stays in the homey abode of her parents and watches boys from afar for references (not for admiration sadly).

Now what will happen if fate decided to tie these two idiots together and made them live across each other in one apartment?

。m.list ❯❯ prev┃next

ONE ━━ THE TWIN BROTHER’S DECISION

"SO THAT'S THE TEA?"

You nodded dejectedly and raised the Tuna Mayo Onigiri in the direction of your mouth. You bit into the delicious rice snack, humming in delight as the saucy and sweet flavors of tuna cheered you up just for a slight bit. "They said that a girl my age shouldn't be living with her parents and should finally get a guy instead of drawing an imaginary one. You know that they're old school, Mai." You said, mouth full of rice bits and tuna.

The female ran her fingers through her short bright red hair. "Well, you are 25 now, and you haven't got a boyfriend since middle school," She propped her elbow on top of the round wooden table, resting her chin on her palm. "But they should've told you beforehand, right? How are you supposed to look for a residence in a short span of time?" She asked and watched you devour the onigiri meal with such ease. Her black-colored eyes held an uncertain expression as Mai was concerned for her colleague and friend.

After hearing the unfortunate news directly from your loving parents, your mind had to process the sudden information for two solid minutes. The first person you thought of to call is your closest friend, Mai, your roommate back at art school and a mangaka in the shounen industry. Although the two genres have completely different backgrounds, you two are stuck together like peas in a pod through the grace and glory of fawning over 2d men.

Ain't that great?

"They said I could stay back for two weeks until I could find a place to move in. I still have nine days to move out. And as for the residence part..."

You rummaged through the leather bag slung over your shoulder and took out a creased brochure of a newly built apartment based in the heart of east Osaka with its breathtaking cherry blossom conifers and pious shrines. The leaflet's minimalistic design delineated the idiosyncratic architectural structure of the tall building on the front page. Anybody could tell that this jointly owned establishment may settle for tenants with stable incomes.

For someone who changed the BL archives with her plot-driven works, Y/N could provide the fees to rent a homey room on the clabber-plastered apartment complex.

Mai shifted on her seat and studied the brochure on the table with interest— crossing her legs and leaning her torso forward to get a full view of the given pamphlet. "The building does seem promising. You could even check out your works in the Manga Shops at the city." She remarked as her eyes skimmed through the brochure, taking note of the facilities and rooms for the future tenants.

"Right? I already checked the place out yesterday, and coincidentally, the studio office is close by," The H/C-haired female pushed back the tiny strands of baby hair tickling her forehead as it was annoying her smooth skin. "They even allow pets. The apartment buildings I visited mostly don't allow pets, and the others who do, they have weird-ass tenants whom I don't really wanna be neighbors with." She ended, scratching the back of her neck.

"Soooooo, that's the apartment you're planning to move in."

You nodded your head, "I prepared the papers and told my parents about it. Maybe you can help me move my things out?" You suggested to your friend as your leg overlapped with the other, biting into another piece of onigiri from the porcelain plate.

Tilting her head to the side, Mai let out a light scoff from the BL mangaka's proposition as she gestured her hand downwards. "I'm offended, Y/N! Of course, I'll help you." She expressed her whimsical disbelief through her words. "I thought we were best of friends." The young lady teased.

"After all those collab fan arts of the Akatsuki, why wouldn't we be at this point?" You joked; however, the shinobi anime reference wasn't technically a gag as you both had a history of fangirling over the smexy criminal organization— even if you both had a peculiar taste in men. "By the way, why did you choose this place? Isn't this sort of far away from your workplace?" You questioned the red-haired female, a bit curious on why she decided to meet up with you in this Onigiri Restaurant.

Mai's lips turned up into a smirk as she motioned her finger for you to move closer. "My assistants and I decided to eat here after a hard day's work. By the time we were all seated, our eyes got blessed when the restaurant's owner catered to our table!" She whispered with excitement dipped on her tongue.

"Oh boy, if you had seen him, you would've gotten the inspiration to make a character from his well-sculpted face."

You raised a brow and let out a snortle, "We went here because a hot owner caught your attention? I should've gone with you then." You played along and couldn't help but laugh at your friend's reason for dining out a distance away from her studio office.

Like middle schoolers, you both giggled as Mai continued her story of the dashing Onigiri restaurant owner with her witty play of words. You never had any interest in dating; however, you still bid no mind to your friend's fawning over pretty men who would unlikely pay attention to either of them.

"That owner you're talking about might not visit his restaurant, Mai."

"I know, silly! But I do wonder what that work of art does outside his work."

Osamu is a very patient man. May it be through his responsibility of running an Onigiri business, or may it be just a simple waiting in line at the subway station of Tokyo, the male wouldn't lose his temper nor be frustrated over such trivial things.

But when his exhausted figure slugged inside the comforts of his home and found the living room all trashed with empty bottles of energy drinks and bags of chips, Osamu was finally at his breaking point.

"Atsumu, you mother-fucker... COME DOWNSTAIRS THIS INSTANT!" He burst out, calling out his twin brother's name as he began picking up the trashes scattered throughout his coffee table and his lawson couch. His ears caught the sound of loud footsteps thumping on the wooden-tiled floor as he could immediately tell that it was a certain someone who came down the stairs.

A bed of ruffled blonde hair popped out of the stairway as a certain setter casually jumps into the scene of the untidy crime, walking towards the other twin with open arms.

"Welcome home, Samu! Did your staff make a mistake in the newly-opened shop back at Shinjuku? You look a bit frustrated right now-"

Atsumu stopped himself once he noticed his twin brother standing over the mess he forgot to clean up. His arms dropped to the side while his chocolate eyes shifted over to Osamu's annoyed expression, "Okay. This time, I absolutely forgot to clean up." The male tried to explain himself.

The quiet one of the two shook his head in disapproval, sighing out and pinching the bridge of his nose to calm his fiery nerves. "I found this apartment, Tsumu. I think it's best for the both of us if you could finally get your own place." He stated, hearing the slight choke coming from his brother's throat.

"WHAT?! What made you think that this would be the best for the both of us, Samu?" Atsumu protested, his eyebrows furrowing together in confusion as to why his brother would suggest that sort of idea.

Osamu raised his hand and lifted three of his fingers to his twin's eye level. "First, you sometimes disrupt my sleep whenever you'd bring your flings at home," He stated and didn't bother to let the other speak their mind about the issue at hand as he continued his statement of reasons. "Second, you'd sometimes forget to do your lists of chores and often lie that you didn't do them because you were tired from training." He paused for a moment, thinking of a third reason until it clicked in the back of his mind.

"Lastly, you're a 23 professional athlete, who makes a lot of money than what I usually make, and yet, you're living with your twin brother."

Atsumu stared at Osamu as he crossed his arms, "So? You'll kick me out if I don't move out of your place?" He derided, his voice mostly holding a hint of teasing as he knew his brother wouldn't act so rashly over those reasons.

Oh, was the male so wrong.

"Yes, Tsumu. I'm kicking you out."

WARNINGS 18+ BITCHES. NSFW COLLEGE AU. THIS LIVED IN MY HEAD RENT FREE SINCE @bakugotrashpanda POSTED THE DENKI GOOGLE DOC HEAD CANNONS. I kept thinking how fucking mortifying would it be if he read some of your smut aloud 🙃🙃 its spicy so comment ya thoughts on my crack fic.

Caffeine, you desperately needed caffeine if you were going to survive midterms.

But you were too busy helping Denki and Mina work on their weak subjects to be able to get the much needed nectar.

The three of you sit cramped in the bedroom you shared with Mina in the small three bedroom apartment. Trying to seal yourselves away from the rest of your boisterous roommates who argued over who's turn it was for the TV. They must turn the altercation into something physical as you hear a loud pop, a string of tape and the SIXTH coffee table snap in half beneath someone's weight. Your jaw ticks as you wonder how any of them function in day to day life, let alone fucking college courses.

Denki answers the same question wrong for the millionth time causing you to pinch the bridge of your nose. Between this deadline and the one of your hobby, you were beginning to lose patience.

"Look, I'll send you both the google doc of the study guide I made last year." Quickly you unlock your phone and send them both the document in question.

Only when Denki and Mina share a wide eyed look do you reevaluate what you sent. With shaking hands you look at your sent mail and when you see it was a smut collab piece for your hobby you freeze.

Fuck

Fuck fuck fuck. The two absolute worst people to have said piece of work had access to it, to the whole folder of the smutty, vile filth that was a multi chapter fic.

For legal reasons you were obligated to die now.

Still fear urges you to act. You snatch Mina's phone that sits inches shy of yours and delete both the access and folder just in time. But Denki has already risen.

You lunge although, he sadly, is much faster than you and already out the door as Mina follows with a delighted smile on her lips. You give chase, screaming how you'll murder them as Denki clears his throat to realoud to the rest of your roommates who lounge in the living room. Bakugou lying on the main couch that Denki currently hides behind, Sero spread out on the love seat while Kirishima sits in the armchair closest to your door. Several empty bottles of alcohol lie dead on the floor beside the broken wood of the table.

Molten embarrassment surges through your veins as your mouth goes dry, suddenly that embarrassment turns into undying rage. A simple leap will neutralize him and then you could beat his ass to hell and back for even THINKING of doing what he's about to fucking do.

Kirishima, ever the mediator, stands to scoop you up in strong arms, keeping you held fast to his muscular and of fucking course, shirtless body.

"Read aloud for the class!" Mina teases, encouraging the electric blonde.

"'It started with a weighted gaze, one you could feel burning into your skin no matter where you were. And when you would turn to look over your shoulder you would see him. His dark eyes fixated on you of all people, glaring from sun up to sun down. It was safe to say that he hated you. Little did you know how wrong you were'." Denki reads the work verbatim as you fight back tears in your eyes. Kirishima sighs sadly as his grip tightens around your waist.

No one stops him, and somehow, someone muted the TV, although you were unsure if that happened before or after Denki burst from your room. You just know that Bakugou holds the remote.

"You simp for 2D men?" Sero laughs as Denki continues to read, he's now just shy of the raunchy details. You're mortified, especially since the whole group compares this anime character to your hot headed crush more often than not. You claw at Kirishima's skin but he activates his quirk while his hopeless romantic ass gets caught up in the fiction.

"Hush." Mina and Kirishima scold Sero, hanging onto every word as if he were reading a true and tragic love story

"DENKI IF YOU CONTINUE… I SWEAR TO KAMISAMAAAA!" You scream while he smirks although a huge blush blooms on his face as he reads a head a few sentences.

"Go on!" Mina snaps, Denki clears his throat while you avoid the searing heat from a vermillion gaze.

You felt hot and helpless, having hoped to avoid Bakugou as often as you could because he somehow flustered you to the point you felt more like foe than friend. He was the red eyed cat, slinking in the grass while you, the meek mouse scurried in the brush. You try your best to shrink away in Kirishima's large arms.

Your mind plunges you into the few times you shared allow with Bakugou, making dinner together, setting the table. Waiting to pick the movie while the rest of your group takes their time getting the take out from various restaurants, you would exhale the breath you didn't know you held when they returned. But in your head every scenario ended differently.

More differently than you'd like to admit. A shy kiss, a searing kiss, you gasping out his name as you wore his hand as a necklace. He would taunt for you to speak louder while his hand squeezed.

The things you had wanted to happen are being said aloud now. Denki flustered but he continues to read, Kirishima squeezing the air from you as his tipsy or drunk ass gets into what you've written.

Tighter and tighter as Denki gets closer to reader's final orgasm and the MC's first of the night. The room spins, you whimper and whine softly from the rough nature of Kirishima's skin unused to his usual soft touch being so intense.

"Y..you feel the coil in your stomach tighten, eyes rolling into the back of your head as his thick length slides over that damned spongy spot. Abusing your sopping hole and puffy clit as his thrusts turn sloppier and sloppier. You feel him twitch within you, the sensation of his aroused satisfaction sends you over the edge. Screaming and gasping out…"

"Kirishima!" You breathlessly shout, all eyes turn to you as you pant in his arms. Struggling to push out of his vice grip, face flushed, eyes fluttering from both the embarrassment, hot memories and lack of air.

Your outburst stirs something in everyone, but especially the ash blonde. His deft eyes assess the situation quickly, or as quickly as they can with a tipsy mind. He growls audibly as your mortified form is still pinned to a shocked Kirishima. Bakugou stands and everyone stays silent, he stalks towards you as you keep your eyes averted.

"Oi. Hair for brains. You're suffocating her." His voice is dangerously dark, threatening even. Kirishima drops you instantly and before you can scurry to your room Bakugou wraps a deadly hand around your wrist.

"Pikachu, Racoon eyes, Soy sauce, take shitty hair with you to get an apology dinner. Take my card and get all the good shit too." For a moment no one moves until a glowing red eye looks over a broad shoulder and the intoxicating smell of caramel begins to fill the room. Everyone rushes to get their things Mina grabs for her shoes and purse, Denki his jacket, Sero Bakugou's card and Kirishima a shirt.

The four of them practically fight to get into the cold air of the open hall.

Bakugou watches you shake, his eyes narrow in distaste.

"Little mouse." His voice causes you to jump, stomach knotting before your hair free falls. You cannot find the strength to answer. He turns you around, slamming you into the wall. The pictures and knickknacks rattle against the dry wall, you swallow quickly.

Did he hate what you said that much, oh gods look at how he us glaring at you.

Fuck, you fucked up.

He wraps his hand tightly around your throat, coming close as he holds twin pulses, starving your brain of oxygen. Of sound choices. Instantly you feel yourself becoming wet as he takes a moment to undress you with his eyes. He places a harsh, head swimming kiss to your lips. Biting at your bottom lip for entrance to your mouth, forcing his tongue in. He is kissing you passionately enough your teeth gnash against his. Moaning into his mouth as your hands trail beneath his black shirt. Nails railing across his abs when he squeezes your ass with his free hand. He pulls away with a wolfish grin.

"Is this what you wanted little slut? To practice what you wrote with me?" His voice is taunting, "Do you think of me as you're soaking wet, writing this filth. I bet you moan my name when your knuckle deep in yourself."

Tears prick your eyes, eyelids fluttering from both his words and the lack of air.

"Answer me." He growls, you whimper beneath him as you nod yes.

"Good little mouse." He tilts your face to him, holding his intense gaze, "Now let's practice what you wrote."

Art meme time! This meme has lived rent free in my head for a couple of weeks and now I finally put it together (because a new TWWM event just started and I wanted to get this out of my sytem before diving into it).

This required quite a lot of thinking, because in reality half of these characters would refuse from actually ever drawing themselves, hahah, but I just decided to operate under the assumption that they would be forced/coaxed/bribed to draw at least something. So this is what they would get into the paper:

Weary - Weary would grab the nearest ballpoint pen, draw a stereotypical cartoon ghost in ten seconds and be done with it. If questioned they would just answer that they are, indeed, a ghost and that you should be happy that they drew anything at all as ghosts don't really even exist.

Elsie - Elsie would be super flustered but she would give the drawing everything she has. Imagine a faintly sketched, not that anatomically sound anime character a younger teenager girl would doodle into her notebook and you have a good idea what the drawing would look like.

Song - Song would be so happy to get to draw! Their art would be bright and colorful and very child-like, with the corner sun and everything. It would be so pure that you'd get a sudden urge to hang it onto the fridgerator door.

Curse - Curse would hiss and spit and break half of the pens, scribble a few lines with so much force and rage that the paper would barely hold together, throw the rest of the pens against a wall and storm out.

Poe - Poe would give you a bashful "oh, I'm horribly bad at drawing" and doodle a quick little stick figure, which in closer inspection would give away that he actually has pretty good grasp of anatomy and stylization. If you pressed hard enough you'd find out that he's actually pretty good at drawing, just really self-conscious and insecure about himself.

Nessie - Nessie wouldn't have any sort of understanding of how it even is possible to translate something 3D onto 2D surface. If you'd instruct them to look at their reflection from the surface of water, they'd go "hmmmmmm" and you'd leave them to their study. You would then forget the entire challenge until a year later they would bring you their art piece, which would be a pretty unique, almost wood carving -like creation.

Mistake - ...idk, man. Mistake would barely hit the paper. Would the messy lines they drew somehow represent their experience in living or would they be just mindless scribbles? You have no idea.

#(this is one of those art pieces that you really should open in a new tab #because otherwise you barely see a thing)#art meme #sketch #twwm #those who went missing #Weary #Elsie #Song #Curse #Poe #Nessie #Mistake #I don't have the url of the blank meme in hand #but the creator whose name is on the meme can be found from Twitter

v force episode 1 (part 1)

finally got around to watching the first episode, so here are some Thoughts™ and Initial Reactions™! also i am watching the english dub so i am referring to characters w/ their dub names.

first off, the opening didn’t change at all which was. a little weird imo? i’ve got nothing against the song (it’s a banger) but why didn’t they change the visuals?? it’s so jarring to see the season 1 style in the op and then being slapped in the face with the s2 art.

my roommate said maybe they’ll change it for the next ep but still. i’m not a fan.

roommate: ah yes, i devoted myself to studying the blade, and now i’m going back to school!

jokes aside, i think it’s good he’s going to school. let tyson learn how to read it can only help him

okay HERE is where i rip on the s2/3 art style a little bit. i really, really do not like it. i hate how flat it looks, and i’m not a fan of how similar some of the characters look. it’s still beyblade, but in all honesty, i’m VERY attached to the s1 art style. it looks a lot more unique and really gives the characters space to stretch out and have unique designs, whereas this season doesn’t do that to the same extent, at least from what i’ve seen.

i’m not above being proven wrong or having my mind changed about this but. it’s gonna be a no from me thus far

also, the way they do the eyes in this season is just. no. the skin lightening isn’t a fantastic look either, i will say.

1, 3d dizzy looks Bad™. 2, what is this lineup??? why are they all so small??? why didn’t they keep THESE designs for this season?

kai is rocking that crop top tho. good for him!

“it’s only a local competition. it’ll be a piece of cake winning it after all, since i’m, you know, the world champ!”

...so he’s going to lose. granted, it is the first ep and the writers need to set up some tension somehow (tyson can’t go in swinging right off the bat, obviously), but this just made me laugh. i’m interested to see how he loses, though.

i just thought this looked nice!! beyblade has some very excellent bgs in some of their eps. the wall from ep 36 (??) of 2000 lives in my head rent free

aaaaaand here’s hillary! i’m not clear on what exactly she’ll be doing in the main group (is she just supposed to be the voice of reason?? chief already kinda does that, though), but eh. it is only the first episode after all, so maybe i’m jumping the gun (again).

roommate: she’s like the amy of beyblade. everyone hates her but loves her at the same time.

WHOMST????????

this is giving me abbey vibes. already don’t trust these guys. their suits are immaculate, though.

HMMM!!! okay here’s another gripe i have with s2/3. 3d beyblades were a terrible idea. there’s no sense of weight, they’re not grounded in the slightest, they literally look like they’re FLOATING like????? who gave this the green light. who decided on this i just want to talk. i get wanting to include 3d elements in an anime to make some things easier, but this just looks like shit. and how much easier was it??

not to keep being like “in season 1...” BUT in s1, the beyblades looked unique. they looked like they had power and weight behind them. they were grounded in the stadiums and actually WORKED within the backgrounds. and it looks incredibly jarring when the REST OF THE SHOW IS ANIMATED IN 2D.

this is bad. i will not change my mind about this. art style, maybe. 3d beyblades? terrible. horrible. very bad idea.

“how’s this? is this good enough for the wicked witch of eighth grade??”

I’M SORRY, THEY’RE IN 8TH GRADE??? were they TWELVE in the first season?? why do they look so much younger now?? no wonder kai was such a sourpuss all the time, having to look after twelve year olds. i get it now.

jokes aside, this makes no sense. granted, it’s a show for kids so i get making them still be in middle school but man!! that’s such a shock.

So, can we get some Murdoc positivity today? What's something you like about him, or think is good/admirable?

Yes, we can! There was no way I’d laugh @ him and not end the day on a nice note. Murdoc positivity is rare and I’m happy to provide it. There’s a lot I like about him, so chances are I’ll think of more after I post this lmao.

Personality: His ambition. When he sets his mind to something, he’s going to find a way to achieve it and he won’t be intimidated or embarrassed out of it. And he’s gone through his share of obstacles - an abusive family, merciless audiences, low-paying, shitty jobs. No one would have blamed him if he gave up, but he didn’t. On a more specific note - his story is genuinely inspiring, and I know of many fans who have found strength in his journey, and in his ongoing struggle with trauma and the cycle of abuse. (They’ll never go into it in canon, but I still hope that somewhere, on one the Gorillaz timelines, he knows that.) I’m also going to add on to this that he’s brave. With the amount of alcohol he drinks, there’s little doubt in my mind that he spends a lot of his time afraid. We’ve heard about his panic attacks, his meltdowns about flying, his fear of abandonment (can you imagine how much he doesn’t share?). You could argue that he’s cowardly for self-medicating (in some ways, yes, he is), but I think it’s worth acknowledging how much he’s doing despite being afraid. Like, he isn’t perfect, but I hope someone’s told him that he’s brave. He’s a talented songwriter. He was responsible for at least 50% of their first album, he wrote most, if not all, of Plastic Beach. Those are some thoughtful lyrics coming from someone who comes across as crass and superficial on the first impression. He’s smart and witty. Those two go together. I think you could have a lot of great conversations with him because he’s someone who knows a lot about all sorts of things (very Gemini of him). I also think he knows how to make what’s boring, interesting. This is more HC territory but I could definitely see him as a producer later in life because I think he has an eye and an ear for what “works.”

Looks: He’s not ugly! Lmao. I know I’ve said that before but I’m going to say it again. His genuine laugh is charming. His toothy smile is adorable and consistent. I LOVE that they’ve maintained that over the years. I’m going to sound like 2D with how awkward this sounds, but: his hair. He is genuinely blessed because he is never going bald with hair that thick. 2D is going to be there with like, five strands of hair on his head by the time he’s 60 and Murdoc is going have a full head of hair into his 90s. So, be patient Murdoc, there are victories in your future.

As a character: This is more on a personal note, but I’ve always had a soft spot for unlikable underdogs, which I think Murdoc embodies perfectly. He also garners an incredibly strong response from people, which not many characters can do. Like, you have the one who EVERYONE loves or EVERYONE hates, but not one who everyone loves and hates. He lives in so many heads rent-free, is the source of so many good discussions, garners so much interest and speculation, etc, etc. So he (and Jamie) deserve some kudos for that. He’s a character with room for growth. He has a story ahead of him - one of growth, or one of regression, or one of change, or...really anything (what story Gorillaz chooses is another discussion), which is more than you can say for some of the other canon characters who I shall not name. I love the number of stories you can build from his character. I choose to have hope for him. Maybe you don’t. Maybe you’re undecided. But you’re probably feeling something.

#asks.#long post #anyone can chime in with things they like about Murdoc #liking Murdoc is fun!#lmao #Anonymous

Let Trouble Lie - CH 2

𝕚 𝐃Ø𝔫'ⓣ ςＡ𝐫€ 𝐖𝕙αⓉ ЎσǗ Ŝᗩㄚ ᗩภⓨ𝕄ｏ𝕣є 𝕋Ｈ𝐈s 𝒾Ｓ爪Ў 𝐋ᶤ𝔽𝕖

✣●✣

My name is Mikaela, Mikaela Misjinx. And yes, if you've figured it out by now, I am also Thinaire. It sounds cool right? Being able to turn invisible at the drop of a hat? Well, it's not. I'm cursed.

Maybe it would make more sense if I start from the beginning...

My family was small, just me, my mother, and my father, living on the outskirts of the city, doing anything we could to survive. Sure, things were pretty bad now that I reflect on it, but it was happy. I was 7 years old when the incident happened, a day were I was just grumpy and angry with everything, recently ticked off because it started to feel like my parents were smothering me. Taking a walk by myself, I met a creepy old man coming out of woods, asking what I wanted the most, and what did I tell him? I wished that I could become invisible.

That man was gone by the time I turned back and it seemed like the encounter never happened, so I went on back to where my family was camping for the night. Only when I got there, calling out to my parents, they didn't respond. Inside our little shelter lay their bodies, as if someone had just sucked their very souls from them. "Maybe it's all a joke?" I had thought. Begging and pleading for them to get up and talk to me, they never did because there was no pulse, they were dead.

At that moment I was so distraught that I hoped I would vanish right there, and I did. I felt that something was different before I saw it. Raising my hand to wave in front of my face, I saw nothing there but felt the air shift. The rest of my body was the same, sightless but still retaining feeling. I scuffled my feet, trying to raise dust and move the dirt, it worked, I was only invisible it seemed.

That was not what I meant! I didn't actually want to be invisible! Just for my parents to lay off the extra attention and let me live the most of my life. At that moment, I wished hard to be seen again, that I wouldn't be invisible anymore. That same weird feeling happened again, when I opened my eyes I was back to being visible.

"This is trippy," my mind said. Once more I wished to be invisible, not even bothering to close my eyes this time as I watched myself fade away. On and off I went, flipping like a lightswitch as I went between being seen and not. It was all too weird, too specific, something like this didn't just happen, there was always a cause.

For awhile I thought, trying to figure out how I had gained such an ability not long after my parents had died. What drew my attention was my encounter with that weird old man, he had asked what I wished for, then not much later it had happened. But it wasn't really lucky that it did, there was a consequence, the death of two people had resulted from that wish. It all clicked together. When I had made it, my parents had become some sort of a sacrifice for the ability, it wasn't a free wish, it was more of a curse brought onto myself.

I had to live with the knowledge that I had killed my parents, though unintentionally so I wasn't all to blame, if anything it had been that man. The curse hung over me, sobering me up so I could prepare to take care of myself.

For the next several years of my life after that one day when I was that 7 year old girl, I resulted to stealing just to stay alive. Robbing places during akuma attacks when they started happening frequently brought in enough income to get me a more permanent shelter and food enough to live. I never took more than what I needed and just a little extra to keep for longer stretches between attacks, trying to keep things as painless as possible for the store owners.

Lenny, or as I had called him when I was younger, Mr. Money Man was my pawn shop guy, never questioning how I acquired things and just handed over a reasonable amount of money for whatever I brought. He knew I was Thinaire, but never sold me out, he knew what I was going through and decided to not give me anymore trouble. Lenny was the closest thing to being my family.

Now having Ladybug and Chat Noir on my trail was not good, but I had to keep going. If I didn't pilfer when I got the opportunity, things would go downhill fast for me. I didn't bring in enough to buy a phone, or any other device, so I sometimes used the public computers in the library to check for news, especially when it came to me.

Apparently the hero duo had made an announcement over the website, the Ladyblog, that they were working on something else besides fighting the akumas. They said that there was a thief, some kind of burglar, that went by the name of Thinaire and was seen only during akuma attacks. If anyone knew anything about Thinaire, motive, location, anything at all, were advised to set up a meeting with the bug and cat through the Ladyblog.

There were many comments on that announcement, most of them were theories and rumors about Thinaire, some simply outlandish. One said they was working for Hawk Moth based on their appearances, another said they were positive that Thinaire lived in the sewers.

I huffed at all of them, not one was remotely true in the slightest.

✣●✣

"Ya better be careful hun," Lenny murmured to me when it was just us left in the pawn shop, "If ya not, dem heroes are gonna catch ya."

"Believe me, I'm trying," I muttered back, heaving the rest of the load of stolen jewelry from the recent akuma onto the counter.

"Start trying harder, dat one little mistake gotcha name all over da net. People are and will be scouting for ya all da time during attacks," Lenny held up one of the bracelets, eyeing it with his little magnifying glass. "Well ain't this one just a beaut, surprised they made it so easy for ya to get it."

I rolled my eyes, "None of it's easy to get these days."

He shook his head, "Miky, ya just got to power through all dis media stuff, lay low and people'll forgetta boutchu. Maybe lay off da next attack?"

Pressing my hands flat against the glass countertop I leaned forward, almost growling, "I can't damn well do that, now can I? You of all people should know that."

"It was just a suggestion," Lenny said, inspecting the next piece, "Keep going out when people are hunting you is risky is what I'm saying.

Sighing, I leaned up against the countertop, occasionally looking at the items on display under the glass. "I'll take my chances. Pretty much the least I can do after that incident."

The man nodded in silent understanding, not wanting the emotional outlash if he mentioned anything specific about that incident. He just went about his business in silence, moving quickly so I could go home.

"Here ya are," he slid the stack of bills across the counter to me, putting away the jewelry, "Take care of ya self Mikaela. No doubt I'll be seeing ya soon."

"Thanks Lenny," I said, a small smile on my face, "You probably will." With the money in the backpack hanging from my shoulders, I stepped out of the pawn shop into the cool night air, walking down the sidewalk back to my small place.

✣●✣

There's only so much I can afford with what I do, therefore my apartment was really small, on the edge of a somewhat good neighborhood and a somewhat dingy one. You had to be careful in the area at night, always alert for someone intent on causing harm, but I didn't worry. I knew I was light on my feet and evasive, able to escape almost anybody's clutches if it came to it.

I went up the steps at the front of the apartment building and down the hall to the left of the lobby. Tarnished metal letters and numbers for apartment 2D were nailed to the door above the peephole, the plain white door hosting several scuff marks. Putting my key in the lock, I opened the door and walked into the room with green threadbare carpet, being greeted by my cat.

The building had no rules against pets, the owners didn't seem to care as long as the rent was paid on time, so I had adopted the stray I found a year ago. It was a ginger she cat with ice blue eyes, I had named her Clover, hoping she would some luck to my name. Clover was always there for me when I needed her, it seemed like she had a sixth sense for it, becoming the fluffy purring machine that really helped.

Most of my days were just me and Clover, sometimes we went outside when the sun was shining, but most of the time we stayed inside, trying not to be bored to death. That plethora of free time did give me time to train my cat, making sure she knew what she should do in certain situations. If I told her to go home, she came back to wait in a hidden spot near the apartment until I came back.

Then there were times when Clover just stayed home and I went outside by myself, when attacks happened, the akumas could be dangerous and I didn't want to get her mixed up in that if I didn't have to. Once the heroes started coming after me, the ginger cat stayed home at every attack, I just couldn't worry about her when I was trying to get away from them. Now that citizens were looking out for me too, I couldn't have them connect Mikaela and Thinaire through Clover either.

But avoiding people for the most part was the most effective at keeping my identity secret, I wasn't interested in the public, and for the most part the public wasn't interested in me. Like Lenny said, each passing day without an appearance of Thinaire lowered the interest in the character, people not being on as high of an alert. Whether or not that was happening, an akuma attack in the future was inevitable.

Under the Circumstances Chapter 1- An Animaniacs Fanfic.

“Can someone change stations? Because that show is as stale as yesterday’s bread.” Yakko said with a long groan, when he saw what was playing on the TV that hung over the fire place in the dining area of "Chez Le Pu."

"Just how many times did they have to broadcast that in a year?" He thought with a shudder, dropping a stack of dirty dishes into the cart before him. He hastily dashed through the large swinging doors to the safety of the kitchen. Away from all the prying eyes and away from the questions he was always asked while waiting tables. Most importantly though, to escape from the biggest slap in the face that had ever been aired on TV. 

And of course, it had to play on a Friday night during the dinner rush.

With a heavy sigh Yakko pushed on ahead without paying attention and wound up hitting the wall. With a thunderous crash, the mountain of stacked plates came cascading down before he could grab them. The dishes shattered onto the floor, scattering pieces all over the kitchen.

The chef and cook, froze in place from their tasks, and all eyes were on the toon.

Yakko furrowed his brow, scratching the back of his head as he snickered quietly to himself. Yup. It was going to be one of those nights and his shift had just scarcely begun.

“Everything alright in there?”

Yakko snapped out of his daze to see his boss poke her head inside the kitchen. She frowned when she saw the wreckage of broken plates on the checkered floor. With small beady eyes glancing up from under her glasses, she took a step in. The sound of crunching porcelain under her heeled shoes made him wince.

“Uhhhhhhh,” He hesitated, as he reached behind himself awkwardly for the broom. “We needed new China anyways."

Abigail remained unfazed by Yakko's failed attempt to make a joke. Punch lines like that might have worked with the customers, but it certainly didn't work on her as her expression remained unchanged.

"Oh well" Yakko thought. You couldn't blame an out of work toon for trying.

“Yakko, I don’t know what has gotten into you lately, but clean this up right now.” She sighed, forcing the creases in her forehead to become more prominent. “And when you're done with that, please, for the love of god take a break or something.” She muttered with a wave of her hand.

“Yes, Dear Abby.”

"Yakko?"

“Yeeees?” The Warner brother casually smirked.

“Please don’t call me that.” With a turn of her pointy black heels, she exited the kitchen with the doors swinging behind her.

Yakko tried to settle the weariness in his stomach with a small chuckle."Might as well get this cleaned up." he thought. And after that he could sneak out the back, have a smoke, and maybe be back just in time for that damn “News reel of the stars" special to be over. Then at least that way, he wouldn’t have to entertain the customers with the story of the downfall of his acting career.

“Seriously, Yakko?"

Yakko swung his head up to see Skippy on the other end of the kitchen, sitting on a stack of crates, phone in hand. Shit. He hadn’t even noticed he was there. A few years his junior, Skippy was one of his old co workers back in his acting days on the Animaniacs. And here they were, all these years later, working together once more. Only this time the circumstances were much different.

“Hey, Yakko, you know better then to piss off the boss riiight?”

Yakko swept up some of the broken china and threw it into the trash receptacle behind him. “What can I say Skips? It’s a tough crowd out there tonight."

”

" You're telling me! I swear to god if another person asks me to do the where’s Bumbi’s mom? thing one more time I think I might spew.” The squirrel stuck out his tongue to get the point across even more.

Yakko shook his head. “Story of my life Skips, story of my life.”

Skippy hopped down off the pile of crates he’d been sitting on. “Ugh, break's over, wish me luck out there.”

“Uhhhhh, Good luck?” Yakko didn't mean it though, and Skippy knew it. They both were aware of the things that lurked past the safe haven of the kitchen. He quickly swept of the last pile of debris from the floor, eager to get out. The soup of the day was boiling away on the stove, filling the room with a humid haze.

Skippy adjusted his white bowtie and smoothed his hair over. He gave Yakko a quick salute before stepping out into the noisy restaurant.

Just over the people outside, happily chatting while eating their meals, Yakko could hear a part of the segment. Why didn't anyone change that God damn channel like he asked? He should have just done it himself.

“With the introduction of computer animation, and its rise in popularity, many toons, like the Warner Bros, and their sister found themselves being served layoff notices with no warning at all.”

Time for that break.

Yakko crept quietly past the window out looking the dining area, hoping no one saw him. He turned the corner down the hall and stepped out the back door. The cool air hit his face and he took a deep breath, happy to be outside at last, and not stuck inside the stifling place he now called his livelihood.

Taking a seat on top of one of the trash cans in the dimly lit alleyway, he loosened his white tie. It always was too tight, but if he wore it any looser than that, Abigail would be sure to notice. The strict uniform rules were only the tip of a long list of things he despised about his job. There wasn't a toon he worked with that didn't feel the same way either. To the outside world, being served drinks and food while being entertained by your favorite cartoon characters might have seemed like a great way to spend an evening. But it was a living hell for anyone employed there. But any other places that hired toons didn't even pay close to what he was able to make in tips. As much as Yakko didn't want to admit it, unless he ever got back into acting again this was the only way he could support his family and stay off the street.

He pulled a smoke from his front vest pocket, lighting it up . He had a pack stashed in his locker for occasions like this, and he knew if Dot found them on him, he’d never hear the end of it. Yakko was planning to quit. One of these days.

"Just when did things start getting so shitty? "

He took a long drag off his cigarette, blowing a large trail up into the sky. The toon sat in the silence and watched the smoke swirl further upwards, dissipating into the hazy clouds above.

Maybe it was when, he and his siblings were told that, due to budget cuts, they would be producing half the episodes they normally did in a season. Or maybe when they were told if they wanted to remain in the water tower they would have to start paying rent.

Or maybe it was when Mr. Plotz brought them up to his office years ago, while they were still in their teens and informed them that the days of the Animaniacs were now over. It was time for Warner studios to move on with the times. Ratings were at an all-time low for 2d animation and they were beginning production on their first computer animated series. There was no room in the budget for hand drawn cartoons, nobody had interest to watch them anymore. Mr. Plotz had told them, "Its time for you children to embrace the change, and try something new."The director assured them they were more than welcome to remain in the tower, so long as they continued to pay their rent. After all those years on the show, after all that revenue He and his siblings, had brought in for the studio. After all the awards. Mr. Plotz kicked them out after 2 months, because they were unable to find jobs.

Yakko took another puff.

That was 9 years ago.

So where did that leave him now? At 23 years old with no prospects for the future, working the same shitty dead-end job he'd had for five years. At a throwback cartoons restaurant that only hired washed up and out of work toons. Doing the same impressions, answering the same mundane questions, and doing the same dance routines over and over again. Every day, a reminder of the star he once was, and never would be again. He would have left Burbank and all the memories a long time ago had it not been for his younger brother and sister.

They were worth it. There wasn’t a thing Yakko wouldn’t do to help Wakko and Dot make it out there. Even if he didn’t.

Yakko flicked what was left of his cigarette into a puddle near his feet and watched it sizzle out, much like his career as a toon. He chuckled to himself in the irony of it all.

Here one minute and gone the next.

“Ummmm, excuse me?”

Yakko jumped up from where he sat when he felt someone tap him from the side.

“Hello?”

Startled, Yakko glanced at the figure. It was a girl.

And she wasn't too bad on the eyes either.

Part of him wondered how a fan might have found their way to the back alleyway but he didn't question it, feeling too lazy to care.. He gave her his signature flirty smirk that always got the women going. “How’d you find your way back here? Lemme guess, you sneaked in just to meet me?" Yakko joked. He felt around his shirt and pockets, “If you’ll just give me a sec, I’ll get a pen and give you my John Hancock.”

She giggled lightly. " An autograph?" She said in confusion. "Actually all I need is that." She gestured at the trash can he was sitting on top of.

Yakko gave her a puzzled look. “Oh wait, haha, the garbage?”

She nodded with a smile, rustling the black plastic bag in her hand. “Bingo."

“Well, if you didn’t want my autograph, babe, all you had to do was say so." Yakko teased, hopping down off the metal canister. He removed the lid while bowing deeply. “And here you are, fair lady.”

She tried to hold back a snicker with her free hand as she dropped the bag into the can. “I have a name you know, it’s Kori, if you're curious, and lemme guess, you're Ya-"

“Yup, Yakko, the one and only,” He boasted, not even noticing he cut her off. “And what brings you out here amongst the rubbish like myself?”

“I, uh, actually got a job at the restaurant next door, been there a few days now.” She laughed “I was wondering when I might run into a toon...never in a million years did I think it would be you, though.”

"Well I guess today is your lucky day, then." Yakko said slyly while raising an eyebrow.

Yakko took a moment to check out the fellow food server. Her uniform wasn't much different from the one he wore, spare for the fact it was red and done up the front with gold buttons. Her chestnut Brown hair was thrown up in a loose ponytail, with a few stray pieces framing her face. Across her nose was a light dusting of freckles. Her emerald green eyes glanced at him in confusion. 

"Dammit." Yakko thought. She was really, really cute.

"Keep it cool." Yakko told himself. The thumping of his heart told him that it was not going to be easy, though. Toons were never very good at hiding their feelings and thoughts, with them often coming out in exaggerated ways. The whole hello nurse thing was funny on the show, but this was real life.

"Umm, are you ok?" She questioned.

The toon pointed at himself. "Uhhhhh me?” He glanced away, hoping she wouldn't notice the sweat that was now dropping down his forehead. He silently cursed the fact that toons emotions showed so easily.  "Nope, everything is all good here, just been a super slow shift that's all...”

"Tell me about it.” 

"Think fast." Yakko's mind raced. "Think of something funny to say to break the awkwardness.

"So are all the girls working over there as cute as you?" 

"Wait. Why say something so stupid? "He sighed inwardly. 

"Your still a giant flirt, aren't you?" Kori teased. " Just like the old days when I watched your show as a kid."

"Yeah, just like the old days," Yakko muttered somewhat quietly. He didn't enjoy being reminded of his former career even if the comment had been made by a cute girl.

"Oh poop!" She said nervously ,sensing the sadness in his voice. " I'm sorry, If I said something wrong."

"No offence taken." Yakko chuckled, seeing how apologetic she looked over a small comment. He felt almost guilty now. "But oh poop'? Hah, who even says that?”

"Umm I do?.”

"Shit. You mean, Oh Shit.” Yakko teased.

"Pretty much" She giggled. "I have younger siblings back home that are still in grade school so I'm trying to clean up my language? My parents are always complaining about it. I got a swear jar and everything. My co-workers are always teasing me though."

"Well, if you hang around me any longer you might have to start over." Yakko said sarcastically. "Now wouldn’t that be poopy?"

Kori burst into giggles. "Oh my God! you are so much funnier in person!"

Yakko laughed with her, their laughter rising into the cramped alleyway that separated the two restaurants. It felt like ages since he had last shared a laugh with someone and actually meant it. It felt so refreshing, to just have a normal conversation with a person who didn't ask him to sing nations of the world for the millionth time.

"This is so cool!" Kori said cheerfully. "If someone had told me as a kid I'd be sitting in an alleyway behind a restaurant with Yakko Warner I'd have called them crazy.”

Yakko leaned up against the wall and pointed at it with his thumb. "If someone told me I'd be stuck working at a joint like this I'd have called them crazy, too."

"Well..." Kori murmured quietly. "At least-"

She never got to finish the thought.

Just then, Abigial burst through the doorway., glaring at Yakko with the same blank expression from earlier.

"Yakko, I said a break? It's been over 20 minutes now."

"I'll be right in Abbey." Yakko reassured. "After all I know my adoring crowd awaits."

"Save the sarcasm for the fans Yakko, that's what your paid to do" She said coldly. " I'll see you inside." Abigail slammed the door behind her, the noise echoing through the brick walls of the alleyway.

The two of them stood in awkward silence for a moment before Kori finally spoke up. "Wow, and I thought my boss was cold? He's got nothing on her."

"My boss is so icy that if she went to hell it would freeze over."

"Hah, good one! Kori remarked. " I'll have to remember that one for later."

"Thanks! Yakko smiled, even though he was feeling annoyed he had to leave. Especially since all he wanted to do now was stay and chat with this girl he just met. "I'm only speaking the truth though."

"Well, I'm sure we'll bump into each other again." Kori said shyly. "And maybe we can gab over garbage again?"

"Sounds like a trashingly good time to me," Yakko winked. He opened the door but hesitated a moment before shutting it.

“Guess I’ll see you around then?” Yakko asked with a grin. "I'm out here most evenings."

Kori gave him a small wave. “As long as there's trash to be taken out, then I guess you will.”

She walked backwards waving, towards the door of her own workplace and backed herself into the wall. “Oops,” She chuckled. Kori reached behind herself blindly for the doorknob.

“Need a hand there?”

“No, no, uh, I got it!” Finally her hand made contact with the door and she awkwardly opened it. "Have a good night Yakko, and it was awesome to meet you."

“Likewise Kori.” He grinned, and he gave her a small wave before she stepped out of the alleyway,

When Yakko walked back into the kitchen, a lineup of orders was already on the warming shelf, ready to be brought out. The kitchen staff had been cooking up a storm.

Skippy gave him a confused look.

“Dude, what’s with the dorky grin?”

“Uhhhhh, no reason really.” Yakko said dreamily.

“Yeah, ok then.” The squirrel rolled his eyes. “You might wanna bring extra napkins over to table 14.” Skippy warned him. “This monster of a kid thinks it’s hilarious to spit juice at the toons.” Also, there’s a table of crazy fan girls that just walked in. They asked for you specifically.”

“All in a day’s work, my friend.” Yakko smiled while patting his co-worker on the back. “Let the games begin.”

Yakko tightened up his bow tie once more, and grabbed the large tray of orders for table 14. He stepped out into the dining area of "Chez Le Pu." with a large smile plastered on his face. Only this time it wasn't as fake as it normally was. The restaurant was packed to capacity, with toons running all over the place trying to meet the demands of the hungry crowd. But for once, he wasn't feeling as bitter about it. He quickly served the table their orders, then waltzing over to the table that had asked for him. It was a typical scene. Three woman in their early thirties who could barely contain their excitement.

"Helloooooo Ladies!" He chimed, " Yakko Warner here, and welcome to Chez Le Pu! Can I start you beautiful women off with some drinks?" He pulled a notepad out of his vest pocket to write down their requests.

"OHHH MY GOD ITS YAKKO GUYS!" One of them screamed. "CAN I TAKE A SELFIE WITH YOU BEFORE WE ORDER?"

Yakko did his best to smile sincerely at their request. Even though he was so tired and done with all this, maybe, for tonight at least, he would make it.
