Bloody Flora AU (FNAF Fanfic)
There’s a lot of learning curves when it comes to living with mythical creatures, huh @oobbbear. The Y/N in this story is taking those learning curves in stride I say. Hope y’all enjoy the story.
*******************************************************************************************
           Living with vampires was difficult to adjust to at first. In the beginning, Sun and Moon were always hungry, and yes, they would eat the fruit and vegetables that you fed them, but that never stopped them from craving your blood.
          You’re not exactly sure how to feel about that. It’s like a mix between being flattered and apprehensive.
          They don’t take a lot of blood. That first time that you were drank from like a living capri sun juice pouch, was the most blood they drank from you. They both only take about half a pint from you now. It’s not bad, but you once made the mistake of letting them feed from you before you started your morning and you accidentally fainted in the middle of your shop while they were asleep in the basement.
          Lesson learned.
          Now you set an alarm and only let them take a sip from you after your workday is over. You’ve also set a boundary of only allowing them to drink from you once a week. Honestly, the arrangement felt like giving a couple of kids some special candy for a job well done.
          You’re capable of giving blood that often, because while you were getting your blood checked to make sure you were safe for them to eat, you learned that you have a genetic anomaly that makes you make more blood than you actually need in your body.
          The jokes of being extra juicy couldn’t help but cross your mind at that revelation.
          With food and the food scheduling down, the next part was training the boys in the jobs that you were needing them to do.
          You… honestly wish you were more patient. This is obviously the first job these two have ever had. It makes you wonder just how long these two have been out on the streets without help. How they’ve even managed to survive without a roof over their heads to protect themselves from the sun is even more concerning.
          So, when you catch Moon eating your flowers or Sun trying to improvise a new method of work that just makes things harder, you would step out and take a breath. Reminding yourself that they are still learning. Then you’d go back into the fray of teaching them both what needs to be done and how to properly do it and teach them when it’s appropriate to eat your flowers. The answer being that it’s never appropriate to eat your flowers unless they plan on paying you.
          It took three months, but they eventually started getting the hang of what needed to be done, and you were able to trust them to finish what you couldn’t finish during the day.
          Which was good because it was February and that means Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and that means an increase in sales, which means more work to do.
           The sun had just set outside your little shop, and you were on a step ladder putting up glittery paper hearts in your windows.
           The door to your basement creaked open and you heard Moon and Sun yawn as they stepped out.
           You turned towards the noise and said, “Evening.”
           Moon was wearing a pair of neon green pants and vest that was reminiscent of old 90’s carpet design. The kind that you would find decorating old bowling-alley buildings and retro theme parks. The little old green night cap that he had on his head wasn’t replaced. In fact, he was adamant that you make it as good as new. Considering how dirty and ripped it was, you tried your best. Now he wears it proudly on his head, despite the fact you think you didn’t do a good enough job of fixing his precious night cap.
           Sun was wearing a pair of neon orange pants and vest that was also reminiscent of the old 90’s carpet design. However, it’s the kind of design that you would find decorating roller rinks and movie theaters. The frills around his head shined brightly around his head, giving him a lovely glow.
           They both looked good and healthy. You’re happy for them.
           You turn your focus back on the work at hand.
           “Evening, Lavender,” Sun greeted you with a yawn, “What are you doing?”
           You smile at the nickname. “Just decorating for Valentine’s Day,” you said as you taped in place the glittery paper heart.
           “I though you were a horror type flower shop, why would you decorate your shop in pretty hearts,” Moon asked as you heard him poof, and then you felt him flutter next to you before landing on your shoulder.
           You looked at the green and black bat on your shoulder.
           “Oh, it’ll be horrific all right,” you state proudly, “It’s going to look like a geyser of bloody hearts have exploded in here.”
           Moon giggled in his little voice and said, “Nice.”
           “I’ll get to work on making your dinner,” Sun said as he walked away.
           A lop-sided smile spread across your face at that. Sun has talked to you about wanting to make food for you whenever he can. Explaining that he’s doing it because he wants you to eat good food to make your blood extra delicious.
          You interpret it as him just trying to pay you back for the kindness you have given them by letting them live, work, and eat here. You know, instead of thinking of it as him only considering you as a type of sustenance only.
           You honestly believe that you are friends with them. Not close friends, but you do trust them to take care of your store while you sleep and that’s good enough for you for now.
           “What will we be doing for Valentine’s Day,” Moon’s small voice asked by your ear.
           “Mostly filling out orders. People will want to buy single roses or premade bouquets. We’ll also get some orders for custom made bouquets. It’ll be busier than it has been since you two have been here, so if you two feel overwhelmed by the leftover work that I leave you two, please don’t be afraid to wake me up to ask for help.”
           “Okay. If you’re sure.”
           “I’m sure. This is my store. If I can’t help in it, then what kind of flower shop owner would I be?”
           Moon cozied up against your neck, his fluffy back tickling you under your chin and that dip below your earlobe.
           “Okay.”
           You worked on putting up the hearts in a bloody, horrific fashion, until Sun called from the top of the stairs, calling that he has your dinner ready.
           You hop down from the step ladder, Moon going, “Weee,” on your shoulder from the short fall. Then when you were up the stairs and crossing your living room, did Moon poof back to his human size.
           The two of you entered your kitchen and you found that Sun had made you a plate of grilled salmon with rice and diced carrots and on the side was a spinach salad with dried raisins, apricots, and walnuts in it. A little bowl of cranberry vinaigrette sat next to the salad.
           Sun was already at his chair, eating an orange without pealing it. The juice running down his hands and chin.
           “Oh, I see kiwis,” Moon said excitedly as he sat down by his brother, and you took your seat.
           “Thank you for the meal,” you told Sun as you poured your dressing on your salad.
           “You’re welcome,” he said, then added, “and thank you.”
           “You’re welcome.”
           As the three of you ate, you all talked about your previous day, what you were up to, the random thoughts you had. The usual thing you had developed the habit of doing since they got here.
           It was nice. You’ve felt a little less lonely since they’ve started living here. Sure, it’s not like you don’t still have friends in this neighborhood, and it’s not like they haven’t visited you in the past. However, as you lived and worked in your flower shop, it seemed like that was all you had the time for, and it was lonely.     Having someone to talk to for a time everyday has been nice.
           Sun told you about how he found this new band called Skrillex and how he’s been listening to all their songs ever since he found them.
           Moon told you about the new cats he befriended and how he found a mother that will be having kittens soon.
           You told them about a movie that you want to watch that’s out in theaters.
           “Why don’t you go watch it then,” Sun asked.
           “Because I don’t have the time for it,” you state before taking a bite out of your salmon, “I have to work here.” You swallow your food.
           “We can take care of things here for you. The theater is usually open during the night, so you’ll be able to go while we work,” Moon stated.
           “Mmm,” you hummed uncertainly, “I could, but I don’t like going to movie theaters by myself. It makes me feel lonely. I prefer going with friends.”
           “Oh,” you heard both brothers’ murmur.
           “I’ll wait until it’s out on dvd. It’s not that big of a deal.”
           Nothing more was said about that, and the topic was changed to Moon daring Sun to see how many grapes he can stuff in his mouth without accidentally spitting any out. Sun only agreed to the challenge if Moon could match him. You smiled at their antics, as it wasn’t long before you were out of grapes for them to stuff their mouths with.
           The Fruit Bat Vampires were helping you do dishes when your alarm went off.
           Moon and Sun’s ears perked up and they stared at you with shinny eyes as you wiped off your wet hands and took out your phone to turn off the weekly alarm.
           You look back at Sun and Moon as they continue to stare at you with restrained excitement.
           You smirk at their eagerness. Leaving the dishes half-finished in the sink, you walked to the living room to sit down on your couch. The two vampires eagerly followed you.
           You sat down, and Moon had already grabbed your left arm and started licking your wrist where he was going to bite you. You felt your left arm tingle then go completely numb within a minute.
           Sun sat on your right on the couch.
           Moon opened his mouth wide, his fangs glistening under the lamp light, then you watched them sink into your flesh with little resistance and no pain. The only thing you could feel was the slight pressure of him pressing his mouth against you. And the slight suction of his mouth on your skin as it was pulled into his mouth as he gulped.
           Sun sat patiently beside you as you both waited for Moon to have his fill.
           You once tried to let them feed from you at the same time to, save time, but seeing them eat off you at the same time made you anxious and you accidently fainted in the middle of their feeding.
When you came too, you had both vampires crying over your body, acting like they had accidentally killed you.
           It was another mistake you all learned quickly from.
          Thinking back on it, it kind of makes you laugh, because they can hear your heartbeat, but they were so swept up with their perceived guilt for having killed you by accident, that they couldn’t hear you. Though, since you do have a habit of telling people when you’re about to faint, and you didn’t do it that time, you don’t blame them for thinking that they had killed you.
           So, they wait, and take turns for over who eats off you first.
           Moon released his bite on you and licked away any blood that was oozing from your wounds. Then Sun took your right hand and did the same thing to your right arm as Moon went to get the gauze wraps.
           You are healed after two days from their bites, but they still like to play doctor with you. They probably still feel guilty from scarring you so bad after your first encounter with them. You would be lying to yourself if you didn’t get spooked by them sometimes.
           As Moon was wrapping up your arms, Sun got up and got you a bottle of mineral water. Taking the mineral water bottle, you stand up and yawn.
           “Have a good rest of your night boys.”
           “Have a good night, Moonflower,” Moon said.
           You smiled at the nickname as you walked away.
           “We hope you have good dreams,” Sun added
           “I’m sure I will,” you say as you round the corner to go down the hall towards your bedroom.
           You get yourself ready for bed.
           Then as you lay down, you think about how Moon and Sun probably don’t get to do many celebrations. You were so busy during the Christmas and New Year’s orders and with their training, you didn’t have much time to celebrate with anyone. Maybe for Valentine’s Day, you can do something fun for them.
           You drifted off to sleep, thinking about what you’d do.
           As the days counted down to February 14th, you decided to get them something nice since you can’t go anywhere with them without making sure the shop won’t be busy.
           For Sun, you got him a busted old MP3 player and you put a few songs on the MP3 player that you remember hearing him say that he liked. For Moon, you got him catnip so he could bribe the cats into like him more. You wrapped up the presents in red and white paper bags and tied the handles together with a pink ribbon.
           On the morning of February 14th, you found a letter on your bathroom mirror from the two vampires.
           We did some extra work last night. You shouldn’t have much to do, today. ~S&M
           There’s always something to do, you thought with a smile as you took the note down and put it in your medicine cabinet with the other notes.
           You got ready for your day and walked downstairs to your shop. You went through your normal opening routine. Then when you went to see what work was left to do, you found that all the orders that you had were already made. No flower arrangement was left for you to do. So, you went to see what needed to be cleaned, but you found that your store was practically spotless.
           All you really had to do, was take care of customers, take care of your plants, and deal with any last-minute orders that might call in. Though considering it is Valentine’s Day, a last-minute order showing up is unlikely. You’re not that popular of a flower shop.
           With little to do but wait for customers to come pick up their orders, you busied yourself with writing valentines to go with Moon and Sun’s presents. You’ve only known them for three months, so you weren’t sappy with it. You focused on trying to write the perfect joke for them to see. You were stuck between making the pun bat related or valentine related.
           Eventually, for Sun, you wrote, You put the b in “bat-tastic”! Then, for Moon, you wrote, I have a bloody good time with you!
           Is it stupid?
           Yes.
           Are you embarrassed?
           No. You have long forgotten the meaning of embarrassment ever since you got your flower shop.
           Besides, the boys could use something nice that isn’t just what they need to survive.
           Evening came as the sun set and with the setting sun emerged your roommates.
           “So, did you have a good day,” Moon asked excitedly.
           “I did. Everything went smoothly. Are you two okay, though? You guys didn’t have to push yourselves to finish everything last night. That is what working as a team is for.”
          “We wanted to,” Sun stated, “After dinner, we actually have something we want to show you.”
          “Will we need to drive there?”
          “We could,” Moon stated, “but we’d like to fly you to it, instead.”
          “But only if you’re comfortable with that.”
          “Okay. Sounds like a plan,” you say.
          Since all there was to do was take down the valentine decorations, you decided to close-up shop early and join Sun in cooking your dinner.
          You talked, and ate, and laughed. Then after cleaning up, you went to your room and put their valentine presents in your backpack to hide them. You wanted to give them the present when they were done showing you what they wanted to show you.
          Once the three of you were outside your shop and your front door was locked, Moon took to the sky first. The cold wind from his wings flapping, hitting you in the face. Then you felt another gust of cold wind and you felt strong, clawed feet wrap over your shoulders and under your arm pits. Your hands wrapped around his ankles as Sun took off to the sky with you in his hold.
          It was neat, being able to see the city that you grew up in from a different angle. You saw the old park that you used to play in after school. You saw the old candy store that you loved as a kid was now abandoned and boarded up. You saw that tree where you had your first kiss under… Man, how things have changed.
          The closer the Vampire brothers got to their destination, the more you realized that you knew where you were going.
          Soon the three of you landed in front of old Mid-Night Cinema. The old movie theater that you used to love to go to with your friends. Still up and running despite everything against it.
          “Ta-da,” Moon said, spreading his winged arms out wide towards the movie theater, “Now you’re able to watch that movie that you said you wanted to watch before.”
          “Happy Valentine’s Day,” Sun stated.
          With a smile, you took off your backpack and fished out their presents, repeating the phrase back to them as you handed them their presents.
          They looked a little dumbfounded, like they didn’t think they would get any presents at all.
          “Well go on. Read your cards and open your presents. I hope you like them.”
          The didn’t need to be told twice.
          Sun and Moon ripped open the paper bags with reckless abandonment, almost making their presents drop to the concrete ground. When they acted like they didn’t know what you got them, you explained. The confusion on their faces, quickly melted into what you could only describe as fondness.
          Their ears flattened against their heads, and their muzzles upturned into a smile that wasn’t them being just happy. There was another emotion there that you weren’t picking up on as they looked over their gifts.
          You didn’t have time to think about it much, because after they read your cards to them, they immediately dog piled you into a group hug.
          “Thank you, Lavender,” Sun said, “We love it.”
          “Best presents ever,” Moon agreed.
          You giggled at their enthusiasm, then said, “I’m glad. Now let’s go watch that movie!”
          You wiggled your way out of their grasp and ran for the movie theater. Moon and Sun running after you just as gleeful as you were.

The Akatsuki’s Favorite Christmas Movies
Deidara and Hidan: Home Alone (1990)/Home Alone 2: Lost In New York (1992)
Tumblr media
These two go crazy for these two classic movies. As they’re often shown on tv back to back, when they’re on, they will camp out in the living room with a plethora of snacks (and a couple of Plain Cheese pizzas, a la Kevin McCallister) and watch. Hidan is more so a fan of HA 1, while Deidara prefers its sequel. They tried to watch Home Alone 3 once but couldn’t even make it 30 minutes into the movie, it was so awful. While they watch, they like to talk about the tricks and traps that THEY would have set for the burglars, as well as various ways of “punishing” them for attacking their home (which, in Deidara and Hidan’s case, would be the hideout).
Itachi: The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
Tumblr media
The dark fantasy-like world of this movie really appeals to Itachi, which is why it’s his favorite Christmas movie. He knows every single song in the movie word for word, and loves to sing along to them, changing his voice to match the character’s voice(s). He high-key relates to Jack Skellington and his feelings of discontent and wanting something new and different in his life. Managed exactly (1) time to get Kisame to dress up as Sally the rag doll and sing the romantic ending scene-song with him 🥺
Sasori: The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)
Tumblr media
A classic Christmas story, told with a cast that’s 90% made up of puppets. Is it any wonder why this is Sasori’s favorite holiday film? He watches not so much for the story itself, but he likes to study the movements of the puppets and how fluidly they imitate their human counterparts. His favorite scene is Kermit the Frog ice-skating with the rats on the frozen pond; he rewinds it over and over again. Interesting side note; he can’t watch this while Kakuzu is anywhere around, because Kakuzu absolutely despises this movie. If he walks into the room and it’s on he’s likely to throw his shoe at the tv. In his mind Ebenezer Scrooge was 100% correct in his miserly ways, and “Those damn ghosts should have minded their fucking business!” 😅
Kakuzu: Dr. Seuss’s How The Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)
Tumblr media
The Grinch mirrors Kakuzu’s feelings towards the holidays perfectly. He’s seen the other versions of this movie, but really feels like Jim Carey brings the most life to the timeless green curmudgeon. He likes to stand up and put his hand on his chest (as if he’s reciting the pledge of allegiance) every single time the speech is given about how Christmas is nothing more than a cash-grab for greedy, spoiled people. He always cries at the end. Not because of the heartwarming ending, but because he’s upset that the Grinch “gave up” so easily.)
Tobi/Obito: Elf (2003) and A Christmas Story (1983)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Will Ferrel gives a hilarious performance as a grown man who runs around acting like a very big child. So, naturally, Elf would be “Tobi’s” favorite movie. He likes to recreate the candy spaghetti that Buddy eats in the movie … which makes the others sick to their stomachs (and for Kakuzu to smack him upside the head for wasting good food). As Obito, his favorite Christmas movie is, surprisingly, A Christmas Story. He’s easily able to tap into the wonder and nostalgia of being a child that’s waiting for “the best time of the year for a kid”, and it reminds him of being a kid himself, before everything went to hell. He’ll sometimes watch with Itachi, and tease him about how much the main characters younger brother, Randy, reminds Obito of “the little brat I used to babysit” aka Itachi as a little kid.
Konan and Nagato: Die Hard (1988)
Tumblr media
“Just because it happens on Christmas Eve doesn’t make it a Christmas movie!” Nagato and Konan have heard this more times than they could count, but the protests fall on deaf ears. Die Hard IS a Christmas movie, and it happens to be their favorite. Nagato is all about the action, and in fact, he’s used Bruce Willis’ strategizing as “training examples” for the rest of the Akatsuki. But for Konan, it’s all about the love story. A man willing to go to extreme lengths to protect the one he loves; that really resonates with the paper angel. The two of them usually cuddle throughout the movie, and start making out by the end, which the others tease them about. 
Zetsu: Gremlins (1984)
Tumblr media
Another movie that could or could not be considered a Christmas movie, depending on who you’re asking. The concept of the Mogwai is very familiar to Zetsu: something that starts off as one thing, and replicates into seemingly endless (and terrifying) clones that wreak havoc on innocent people. The movie was ruined for him temporarily though; back when Orochimaru was still in the Akatsuki, they watched this movie together. Orochimaru got it into his mind that he could create a creature just as good, if not better, than Gizmo. What came out of that lab was a horrifying abomination of nature, and, like the movie, the creature got wet and rapidly multiplied into nightmarish shrieking demons that took the entire Akatsuki, together, to take down. Zetsu had nightmares for quite a while after this, and couldn’t even look at the box cover of this movie without breaking out in a cold sweat.
Kisame: The Santa Clause (1994) 
Tumblr media
Kisame can’t really explain, even to himself, why he likes this particular movie so much. Actually, to him, this reads more as a horror:  a man who committed an accidental murder and as punishment is slowly transformed into this magical, mythical character until he can barely recognize himself in the mirror? Scary as hell. But he likes the slow progression of Tim Allen’s character from denial to acceptance, and the implied freedom with letting go of your convictions and being who you were meant(?) to be. He enjoys watching this with Itachi; the scene where the elves send a team to break Santa out of jail always has the slim brunette laugh himself into tears, which Kisame just loves.

FTF Calculations: Battleship Condescension Auxiliary Power
Tumblr media
Doc Scratch here describes the HIC's backup Helmsmen as pushing the ship "near light speed".
Now unfortunately, near light speed is a very vague descriptor, so to account for all possible ends of it, I'm going to use multiple ends of relativistic speed to try and calc the ship's kinetic energy.
90% the speed of light would be 269,813,200 m/s. 75% light speed would be 224,844,300 m/s. And 50% light speed would be 149,896,200 m/s.
I established in a previous calc using this source that the Battleship Condescension was 400 meters long and 300 meters wide. Assuming it has a similar height to the Golden Vessel, it would be around 100 meters tall as well. That gets us a total area of 12,000,000 cubic meters.
Source:
Titanium (a material commonly used in spaceship construction) weighs 4,549 kilograms per cubic meter. Multiply that together and we get 54,588,000,000 kilograms. Since the space ship is a lived-in structure, I'll assume it's 80% hollow (in real life, the Empire State Building is roughly this hollow), getting us 10,917,600,000 kg.
High end:
397,396,070,407,077,000,000,000,000 joules, or 95 Petatons of TNT. (Multi-Continent level)
Mid End:
275,969,411,512,904,000,000,000,000 joules, or 66 Petatons (Multi-Continent level)
Low End:
122,653,071,783,513,000,000,000,000 joules, or 29.3 Petatons (Multi-Continent level)
Jesus Christ.....
Hey, remember when I said that Hiveswap characters max out at Small Building? There's a genuine argument to be made that they scale to this. Hell, Kuprum's whole thing is wanting to be a Helmsman. He's actively training for this.
I was never expecting contintent busting Homestuck to be this consistent. Sollux has, like, three calcs on that level that he directly scales to now.

A P1Harmony Beginner’s Guide
Tumblr media
Since I’m seeing lots of new people taking an interest in P1Harmony these days, I thought now is the perfect time to make a little guide like this that might help a few of you with getting to know the boys better^^
Guide Masterlist
Tumblr media
Music Videos:
Siren
Breakthrough

Tumblr media
More fun stuff to watch: (in chronological order)
♢ Self Introductions [Keeho & Theo, Jiung & Intak, Soul & Jongseob] Basically what the title says, also shows how distinct their characters are very well! + they get to showcase their drawing skills (?)
♢ Stream Highlights from their appearance on Ara TV In which they eat, chat, and Keeho burps on live television. (I realize this doesn’t have eng subs so... if you’re learning/can speak Korean you’re welcome (?) Otherwise just watch them be cute uwu)
♢ Lunar New Year’s Celebrations 2021 Watch P1Harmony playing traditional Korean games and occasionally losing their minds a lil :’)
♢ A series of little interviews in collaboration with Wonderwall This is unfortunately pay2watch, but I wanted to link it anyways because these videos are what really made me fall in love with P1Harmony fully, plus they give a nice insight on their working process as well as the boys’ thoughts and feelings. By now you can find the full episodes on yt as well, if you have trouble finding them let me know and I can send you the links^^

👁👁 hi again and happy Easter/ it's like Halloween because you get candy still lol
Trevor and/or Michael HCS/writes with a fem reader (but enby) that was a pro wrestler and boxer lol
(Ex: my oc was in WWE specifically NXT and in UFC in the late 90s and beginning 2000s while also boxed and cage fight when a teen and was pretty flexible. After like 2 decades she still works out and exercises at home early in the morning, specifically with a those sandbags you beat and stuff she loves punching and craves violence)
Sorry to ramble was just using my oc as a example (god I love her/them) anyhow happy Easter and eat all that candy!! 💀✌🏻
---A/N: Shiiitttt, I do boxing lol. I've sorta based this on personal experience but also what I've seen from TV. Great idea though! I've always wanted to write about Trevor with a boxer (self-insert type fanfics) but never get the chance to.
HEADCANON: Michael and Trevor with a S/O that is a professional fighter.
TREVOR: -He loves himself a strong partner. He’ll sneak up on your gym and watch you train. He secretly enjoys the arousal of watching you practice fight with someone.
-“Teach me again, I wanna get good at this shit.”
-He’s good at a street fight but being educated on the difference between a boxing fight, he’s eager for you to teach him. Alas! You bring him into the gym most days. When he isn’t banned… From beating someone up. Literally.
-On your fighting days, he’s nervously in the crowd biting his nails. Trevor watches the fight intensely and will insult the opponent when they manage to strike a good punch.
-“HEY, BACK OFF, DUDE! THEY’LL KICK YOUR  FUCKING ASS!”
-He doesn’t have to worry about doing all the handy work. Trevor walks around freely knowing if a fight was to happen, it’ll be teamwork.
-“I’ll pay you $50 if you just punch Mikey in the nose.”
-Will boast about being your boyfriend. He’ll make you show off your muscles or shadowbox randomly. It is awkward but seeing him so naturally happy, you just gotta do it for him anyways.
-Trevor understands you are very dedicated to your career. He’ll drop you off and pick you up from the gym most days. He’ll ask about your days and how hard you were working.
-“Wrestle me. Yeah? I don’t care that I’m partially naked, it’s apart of the fun! Now… Wrestle me.”
-He gets adrenaline rush when you win a play fight against him. The feeling of how you flip him over your shoulder. It makes him feel… Things.
MICHAEL: -He’s refreshed to have someone so active in practical sports. He’s impressed by your physique and work.
-Actually helping him get back in shape. You show him all the ins and outs of professional fighting and he’s naturally good! He lacks confidence though, but you are eager to help him.
-“Woah! Shit, you are really good at this.”
-Michael is at every fight. In the crowd. Cheering you on.
-He’s not as aggressive as Trevor, but he will help you out, even if you were fine. Michael can’t let you win a street fight without his help.
-“You got some strong arms! I’d pay you to wrestle Trevor. Put him to sleep for a bit… Haha! Joking, only joking… I’m not. Please. Do it.”
-He’ll join your morning jogs as training.
-“This beats fucking yoga, anyday!”
-Sometimes he’s a pain in the ass to get moving. You’ll be at the gym with him yet he’s taking time out. You have to constantly motivate him.
-“Hey, hey! Be careful, my love. You have quite the heavy hand. Let me handle this.”
-Michael will purchase a small gyms room just for you. He’ll sometimes stop by to hit the punching bags but he’s more amused by watching you train. He’s fascinated by your strength.

What is Bubbles obsessing over now???
You may be asking yourselves: Wow, Bubbles sure seems intense about the Malevolent Spirits: Mononogatri thing. And you'd be right! I haven't felt this feral over a series in at least two months, and that's because it's lighting up all the happy centers of my brain that bb-Bubbles wanted but didn't know she wanted when she was but a wee-teenager.
Also. If it's just going to be me and three other people in the tag, then I'm going to make this an US Problem ✨
OKAY
SO
Cool thing about this series is that we start off with this story thinking it is very much about him.
Tumblr media
AND IT IS, but as the story progresses the narrative expands and it becomes very much about HER
Tumblr media
Stick with me.
And you get this feeling that it's going to be a very late 90s/early aughts spirit world battle shonen vibe with a sprinkle of Hellsing-esk artwork as appropriate which is COOL, but then it goes and just (blessedly) glosses over the shonen training montage... thing
Tumblr media
(that's it that's the montage)
And the battle scenes are an episode or less, but no less compelling.
Tumblr media
(complimentary eye candy included)
But what I am really digging right now is what just happened in the latest episode, and I'm going to drop the spoilers below the cut because I decided to be nice
Tumblr media
Most recent episode comes on the heels of some significant emotional character and plot development, but I think what is the most fascinating is how once Botan is taken in episode 15, instead of following the typical shonen focus on the heroes race against the clock to save fair maiden-
Tumblr media
The point of view is instead framed from within the breathless terror and hopelessness of abduction.
Everybody always goes to save the Princess locked in the Tower, but how often is the Tower the place the viewer resides? How often is the heroism of the captive(s) shown as so selfless and foolish and brave? How often do we get to see them break at the realization that their friends are going to die horrifically? Right in front of them? Because they're her friends?
How often do we feel them abandon all hope?
Tumblr media
And then. Right then. The disbelief that... somebody - anybody - came.
Tumblr media
That's the good shit right there. *chefs kiss*

What do you think a Jeanpiku and Niccosasha double date would be like?
Hello anon!! Thank you for the ask! ❤️
A double date! I loved the idea!
Lemme see... What about a modern!AU?
When their friends hear that Niccolo and Sasha will be there, they soon think: food, of course. He's a chef, he must know all the good places, italian, mexican, japanese, you name it!
And Niccolo sure will head this date... with Jean.
Pieck and Sasha are all good with that after all, let the boys have fun! It's always nice discover a new place to visit, they aren't worried. And isn't bad, not at all, it's just a surpise when they take them to a karaoke!
Sasha is used to listen Niccolo low singing while work (she thinks he's so cute!) and Pieck is also used to hear Jean's private shows at the shower (she thinks he's so extra!), so this surely will be fun! Aaand IT IS AMAZING??!! They sing along like a real show, put everything in the performance, taking turns between lead and backing vocals, with an incredible synced coreo and all. Pieck and Sasha watching the first two or three songs jaw dropped, talking if they were training for this because how the fuck???
They loved, of course. Don't take long, they're joing them with claps and screaming like fangirls and Jean and Nicco don't stop to think if they're really supporting them or just joking, keep singing and perform corny duets, chosing cheesy 80's and 90's songs; thinking about Dancing Queen (ABBA), Careless Whisper, Never Gonna Give you Up, Candy (Iggy Pop), Linger (The Cranberries), I Will Survive and all Kate Bush's songs that they really try to sing as high as she does. It's insane, and Sasha e Pieck love every second. Pieck maybe take a picture here and there, Sasha tries to post a story on insta, but the date (now the "Jean and Niccolo show") was so funny they forgot about posting. But they definitely will in the future, because they sure want to watch their show again, and maybe be part of it. It will be an event for sure!
Gonna tag, @zuzusexytiems and @simpingsuzuki! Really wanna know their thoughts about it!!
Thanks again, anon!! Hope you liked this little headcanon~ ✨

Fluff bingo! Love letter, sweet tarts
LA Times Missed Connections
To the cute brunette in the leather jacket. I heard you before I saw you, you and your friends singing along to some 90's alt song, jubilant and boisterous. You were really good. And then I saw you, the big smile, the sea glass eyes, the golden freckles. You winked at me across the platform and blushed so prettily when I winked back. But then the train came. Hope to see you again.
Carrie
~
Carrie, I remember you vividly. The honey hair, the little upturn of your nose. The way you were in all pink and sparkles, but pulling it off. I wanted to race over, hit you with a line, maybe get your number. Stupid train and needing to be places getting in the way, We busk around the stations often, so hopefully our paths will cross again.
Reggie
~
Reggie-I swear I heard your voice on the radio today. Doing a song I'd never heard before. Sunset Curve was the band. Is that you? We seem to keep missing each other even though I look for you at every subway terminal now. Maybe it's silly to still be thinking of a cute guy I saw once but it feels like I need to see this through. Hoping to see you again soon,
Carrie
~
Carrie-That was us! Sunset Curve, tell your friends! It's still a trip hearing us on the airwaves after so long trying to get our stuff heard. We're going places hopefully. Unfortunately none of those places seem to be the subways you're taking. But I'm hoping that fate will be kind soon. Because I want to meet just as much as you do.
Reggie
PS: You think I'm cute?
~
Carrie cursed as she rushed down the street, almost tripping as she took the stairs two at a time. She was so going to miss her train if she didn't book it. She cursed this day and it was barely 8:30. Her alarm decided to not go off, then the coffee wouldn't start, her hose ripped, and then she had to go on a wild goose chase for her metro card.
She really needed to get her driver's licence renewed, even if she knew the roads in LA were horrible, but then she wouldn't have to leave her house at an ungodly hour in order to get to work on time.
But then... she knew she'd never see Reggie again.
She had tried to find more information on Sunset Curve, but they had almost no online presence-she made a note to connect them to Flynn if she ever saw them again, she had done wonders for Julie's solo career and Dirty Candi back before Amber got married and dropped out. So she had no avenue finding him that way.
Was she crazy still trying to find him after weeks and weeks of one sighting and a few letters in the paper? Maybe.
But that crooked grin and wink still flashed before her eyes so often, and it wasn't like she was shooing the guys away with a bat at the moment. So a momentary flirtation was keeping her going.
Then as she got to the platform, breathing heavy, she heard him. Eyes flying around frantically, looking for that dark head of hair, the leather jacket.
There!
She smoothed down her hair, and power walked over, pushing through the small gathered crowd as the guys sang their hearts out, today doing what had to be one of their own songs. There was a guitar case on the ground with a pile of bills and change tossed in. Carrie appraised the guys with Reggie, both cute in their own rights, though the drummer screamed not her team given the rainbow bracelet and pink he was sporting. And the guitarist was a bit scruffy for her taste, plus she immediately judged guys who wore beanies in LA, especially in June.
Reggie was there, a red flannel tied around his slim hips, hair flopping in his eyes as he strummed hi bass, beaming. He hadn't noticed her yet, but he was grinning wide, pushing his hair back, exuding charisma and Carrie remembered why she had been so intent on finding him again.
The song came to an end, with a smattering of applause, and a fair few more bills collecting in the case.
"Thank you, we're Sunset Curve!" the guitarist said.
"Tell your friends!" Reggie added.
"And pre-order our first album Now or Never on Spotify!" the drummer piped up.
Carrie could hear her train coming, and knew she had to make a move now or she never would. She dug a twenty from her purse and came up, dropping it in the case. "You guys are really good."
"Carrie!" Reggie exclaimed, beaming wide. "You found us!"
"You certainty didn't make it easy," she quipped. "You guys really need to go on social media or something."
"See Luke, even the fans agree!" he said to the guitarist who rolled his eyes and Carrie figured it was a familiar argument. "Well I'm glad you found us regardless. Been waiting to see you again for what feels like forever."
Carrie was about to reply when the train pulled up and she swore. "I need to catch that," she said. She quickly whipped out her business card, handing it to him. "Call me, we could maybe meet up for lunch? Coffee?"
Reggie slipped the card into a pocket of his jacket, nodding. "I like lunch."
"Smooth Reg," the drummer muttered, and Reggie hissed at him to shut it.
"I really need to go," Carrie said, popping up to press a quick kiss to Reggie's cheek. "I'll be waiting on your call." With that she ran to the waiting train, knowing she would have to endure a few stops standing up, but it would have been worth it to finally have plans with Reggie.
She was almost at the door when a voice called her. Turning she saw Regie and he pulled her in, the question obvious in his eyes. She nodded and he kissed her, a toe tingling kiss that made her shiver in anticipation for more.
They broke apart, blinking at one another, her face still cradled in his ahds, noses brushing. "I think you missed your train," Reggie whispered apologetically.
Carrie glanced to the side and saw, that yes, her tain was long gone, and with it, her chance of getting to work on time. She shrugged. "There'll be another one soon enough," she said, pulling Reggie in for another kiss.
And maybe she happened to call in sick that day, just to spend the day with him. It was worth it, and when Reggie confessed to keeping their letters to each other, she all but swooned, knowing the day off was better spent with such a romantic.
And well, it also Reggie a chance to compose her something a bit more substantial-a whole song. One that would always be her favourite, and when it won them a few awards, Reggie always made sure to thank her and her letters for it.

Not So Sweet Revenge, Or Dr. Bright Gets Just Desserts
I'd been in the Foundation for six whole months now, and aside from a slightly broken wrist from training with SCP 076-2, my time was largely uneventful, but I knew it was coming... my first real problem.
And here it was, clad in blue jeans, wrinkled button down, scruffy and slightly singed lab coat. Strawberry blonde hair in such a 90's messy cut even Leon S. Kennedy would scoff at him. And that damned disco medallion that kept him here... the biggest pain in the collective ass of the Foundation, Dr. Jack Bright. Clef had given him the perfect nickname used only behind his back, Dr. Jackass. He'd pranked us relentlessly all week, despite 076-2 threatening to turn Bright into "nothing but a smear on the wall" if he persisted. Well, while Abel was thinking of making him mincemeat and possibly feeding the chunks to 682, Dr Clef and I had other ideas.
I had recently acquired a very large bag of Everyflavor Beans, an anomalous confection of source unknown. What I *did* know about these particular candies is they do indeed contain every flavor, including some really nasty surprises. I had bitten into a white bean, expecting coconut, and got soap. Blech. Dr Clef found a candy jar with the anomalous property of never running out of whatever candy is placed inside. The doctor had made himself sick gorging on lemon drops and fireballs. We decided to combine our weird acquisitions for the good of the Foundation. Naturally.
So when I saw Dr. Clef hand me the jar with a wink, I got the idea. After all, Jack Bright's sweet tooth was legendary. And those tiny brilliantly colored candies are hard to resist. I took the jar, dumped the beans in until it was full, then invited Dr. Clef back to my office to wait for our moment. Coffee bridged the time nicely.
We didn't have long to wait, and strangely... a small crowd had gathered outside my door. I even managed to spot 049 and 076-2 in the group, both flanked by MTF agents. Huh. Word got out then. Fine with me.
"Hey, Clef have you seen... this huge jar of jelly beans? Oh, sorry... got distracted there. Anyway, have you seen my lucky hat?"
"The tacky thing, with all the lures on it? Pretty sure that got lost in the backrooms."
"Bummer." He looks at the jar, and winks at us. "You know, eating all those sweets will rot your brain, kiddo. I'll take them off your hands. Besides, Agent... if you get any sweeter 076-2 might just teach you some non-combat moves, I wouldn't risk it." He looks to Clef for backup. Backup: denied. Clef just glares.
"Actually, my good Doctor Bright, that jar of jellies is a gift I hadn't had time to wrap yet. A gift for you, in fact. Call it a peace offering."
"I do enjoy my sweets, so I accept." I hand over the jar, saccharine smile on my face. 049 is trying to stifle a few giggles, he heard about the plan. Dr. Bright opens the jar, and picks his poison. It's a greenish-yellow bean, one that looks just wrong. But Bright popped it in his mouth without a thought. The look of joy on Bright's face soon turned into one of horror. His skin had gone slightly greenish, he was sweating, and looked like he was close to vomiting.
"You don't look so well, Dr. Bright. Perhaps you need to lie down." 049 scoffed, tisked, then walked back to containment giggling softly. Abel... well... let's just say it was the first time a lot of people there heard him genuinely laugh.
"Finally, the loathsome jester gets his comeuppance." A few more hearty laughs. "I think I have seen enough of that shade of green on Bright. I am ready to go back now, the show is over." The crowd dispersed. And Clef and I shook on a successful mission.
Totally worth the three weeks of Keter duty for both of us though.

Amanda (Amanda Lepore)
Of all the celebrities in the world, I chose her. I could have had Britney, J.Lo, Maria, Fergie, Celine, or Elizabeth Taylor-- heck, even Tilda Swinton, if androgyny was so compelling….
But no. My very deliberate first choice of celebrity perfume came from an aging transgender socialite with a rampant cosmetic surgery addiction and four dance-mix EPs that can best be described as unlistenable.
Why her? Why Amanda Lepore?
For those not in the know, Amanda Lepore is the steely-yet-vulnerable, thoroughly unshockable, plastic-fantastic queen of Manhattan's stygian depths. During the legendary '90's, Amanda ran with the likes of James Saint James, Richie Rich, DJ Keoki, and the Club Kids' notorious Svengali, Michael Alig. Her über-smooth, surgically-enhanced visage -- complete with cherry-red lips pumped full-to-bursting with collagen -- provided photographer and lifelong friend David LaChappelle with decades of inspiration. On the other hand, it's also attracted a particularly nasty brand of social editorial, scathing in its rejection of the blurred gender line.
But rest assured, I am not here to wield that weapon.
On the surface, Amanda's world is as far from my world as Pluto is to the sun. But I have been attracted to it all my life. I myself have walked the gender identity tightrope, as have many of my idols: David Bowie, Patti Smith, Nico and Candy Darling, Lili Elbe, Justin Vivian Bond, Kate Bornstein, Charles Busch, John Cameron Mitchell, Eddie Izzard, Divine. I identify more with these outlaws of the gender frontier than I do with Britney & Co. any day. And because of all this, I desperately wanted Amanda not to fail. I longed to see her perfume blow away all the haters and baiters and nasty naysayers.
Due to its limited production (only 5,000 bottles released) and prohibitive price tag ($900+), it appears that precious few samples of Amanda ever made their way into the hands of reviewers. Most journalists, online and off, merely recycled the most shocking snippets from the office press release. Its bottle (encrusted with 1,000 Swarovski crystals!) and its preposterous ingredients (red lipstick! Steamed rice! A dash of real Cristal® champagne"!) set Amanda up to be a magnificent train wreck.
Yet Luca Turin swore up and down that the damned thing had merit. He raved about the marvelous job done by Christophe Laudamiel to harness and tame its sizable iris content (which -- more than any amount of tacky bling -- surely accounted for that massive price tag).
If this was the Holy Grail of trash fragrances, loyalty drove this kitten to undertake a quest. In the end I found a tiny decant listed at a 60% percent discount-- perfect for me, since naturally I don't have a month's rent to spend on a single perfume. What else could I do? I snapped it up.
While waiting for its delivery, I confess I began to suffer from buyer's remorse. Had I really stopped to consider what a former Club Kid's perfume might smell like? I envisioned sweaty cleavage encased in a cruelly boned corset, whose black organza and lace had absorbed an evening's worth of subway stench, cigarette smoke, spilled bubbly and lightly toasted ketamine. (What can I say? I've read AND watched Party Monster far too often for my own good.) Even worse, I imagined the smell of the corset's matching black lace panties. A boozy, sexy, sticky, spent-all-night-at-the-club-and-can't-be-bothered-to-shower-now sort of smell. An ANGEL sort of smell.
What the hell had I done?
When Amanda arrived, I sat staring at the spray sample vial as if it held Eau de Kryptonite. I decided to apply it after a shower, not bothering to dress in case I found myself forced to break a land-speed record to get back under the hot spray.
Please, god, please-- don't let it be a scrubber, I found myself chanting. Come on, Amanda….
The first note shocked me cross-eyed. Are you fucking serious? I heard myself saying aloud. Apparently, yes she is. Delicate, delicious, and without a doubt feminine, here was the scent of steamed rice. When I first read those words in the press release, I'd thought it was a joke. But what now rose from my wrists was a remarkable facsimile of steamer-cooked Japanese short-grain brown rice, bran-rich and faintly woody. A mandarin note rode atop it, veiled as daintily in curls of steam as Lady Godiva in her long golden tresses. (Again, Amanda: are you fucking serious?)
A faint hint of fruity plastic -- the so-called "lipstick" accord -- followed, tailed by a tinge of something alcoholic. Cristal®? More like Gekkeikan. Yes, it was the unmistakable scent of warm plum sake. After expecting to be clocked in the head with a disco ball, to be ushered instead into the tatami room of a traditional kaiseki restaurant was near about the limit. The repast Amanda set before me was simple, impeccable, refined-- but she wasn't finished with me yet.
After ten minutes, the iris kicked in. The scent of iris shares so many olfactory characteristics with the notes that came before it -- rice, steam, gluten, wood, even plastic -- that I found myself whispering, Yes, yes, of course, I see it! It's not listed, but I trusted my own nose and that of Luca Turin: there's iris in here, all right. (In fact, I think that perhaps it alone creates that starchy-steam accord.)
After an hour, I was still fully engaged with the interweave of Amanda's three main accords: iris, rice, mandarin. At any given moment, one seemed more prominent than the others-- but a moment later, it gracefully ceded the foreground to another. I kept expecting a hostile takeover by something loathsome a la Angel, but it never came. Over and over, eternal, tranquil, they braided closely around one another - iris, rice, mandarin.
The watershed moment came when my spouse came home from work. I'd warned him that morning that my pulse points would be the staging area for an experiment-- possibly hazardous. Now I held my arm out to him. Correctly gauging the smile on my face as a green light, he leaned in cautiously to inhale, then nodded.
"That's really nice; what is that?" he said.
"It's Amanda," I replied.
"It's quieter than I expected," he said. "Pleasant."
"A keeper?"
"A keeper."
That night I wore it to an art gallery opening. With my spouse by my side and Amanda on my skin, I felt as though I was in the best of company. How does that song go?
Well she's all you'd ever want; She's the kind you'd like to flaunt and take to dinner. Well she always knows her place; She's got style, she's got grace-- she's a winner. She's a lady… and the lady is mine.
--Tom Jones "She's A Lady"
Scent Elements: Iris, mandarin, strawberry, woods, cucumber, "red lipstick", "steamed rice", and "champagne" accords. And Amanda. Beautiful, fascinating, unforgettable Amanda.

Sijo got RJ's family various candies and pricey bodywash stuff and as for the lad himself, Sijo got him some new more fitting clothing, some cute panties and a spa day booked!
Tumblr media
“I really don’t deserve all of this Sijo… Everyone else does, obviously, but this feel like… extra splurging for my sake. I-I appreciate it though, even if my gifts aren’t as… expensive.”
Clothing, fitting undergarments, complimented with a lavish spa trip? Poor lad isn’t sure how to react… Especially since it’s from the scion herself.
Sheepishly, the raven hands off a neatly wrapped and color present box. Every single one of his younger siblings had a part in the final product’s glamours appearance. Something nice and heartfelt for their “Big Sis” figure.
What exactly was inside its contents? A little gift from every Hino-Aino heir! And their parents.
A decorative sun in a tempered glass globe that radiated heat courtesy of Maseru.
One gorgeous chain-link necklace adorned with fiery stones and the symbols of Mars and Venus from Rukia.
An extra large spool of gilded, glistening silk made from pure, condensed light particles. Made from Makino’s Incandescent Marionettion.
A magenta colored laserdisc filled with recordings of 80’s and 90’s Japanese city funk, covered and remastered by the musically inclined Rinako.
A pair of extremely elastic and comfortable sweatpants that light up similarly to a neon sign. It’s dotted in kanji and brands found around Tokyo. Constructed by the engineer, Mido… She’s assured her elder brother they won’t catch fire. Neon’s a noble gas after all, it’s stable enough-
108 fruits from the Mokurenji tree in the underworld dried and woven together into a splendid rosary. Each with a different symbol and meaning. A token of good fortune and favor from the Head Priestess in training, Mei.
A cute looking sketchbook filled with Ryoko’s intricate, detailed, and vibrant drawings of various mythological beasts. Compiled from each sketch she drew all 365 days of the year. There’s even an adorable message at the end for Sijo’s eyes and Sijo’s alone.
Rei has made Sijo her own custom-sized Hikawa Jinja shrine robes tailored to her size and a collection of various good luck charms and flowers. There’s an even a jar filled with the soot of the Great Fire which has burned for thousands of years.
Minako’s gift… heavily contrasts Rei’s tamer one. Two bottles of an expensive and exclusive champagne, fresh strawberries dipped in a sweet white chocolate, and… lingerie from upcoming catalogs unreleased to the public. Wink wink~
Finally… RJ’s gift. One he clasps quietly into Sijo’s soft hands… A replica of the same ring Rei proposed to Minako with at the end of high school.
When the duo tied the knot nearly 20+ years ago. That same passionate bond which birthed him and his siblings with no signs of fizzling out. Whilst it may not fit around her fingers… It’s a testament to show just how much Sijo means to him. And how she’s changed his life for the better and is eternally grateful for it.
Tumblr media
“Thank you… Thank you for being apart of my life, Ishikawa Sijo. I love you. Merry Christmas.”
