"OW, that’s too rough!"

"I wouldn't have to be if you'd just stay still!"

"You're gonna rip my finger off," your husband yowled and snatched his claws away from your grasp, giving you a nasty look as if you were intentionally trying to cause him pain.

you're aware of bowser's objections to having his nails trimmed, you could hear his complaining echo throughout the whole castle whenever he was forced into it by kamek; complaints flying out about it being the worst pain he's ever had to endure.

(you asked Junior if it was true, to which he denied and said he never felt anything when he had to get his claws cut. he just told you that his dad was a crybaby when it came to this sort of thing.)

you were happy to let him grow out his claws to his heart's content, if he didn't leave you completely covered in scratches from doing the littlest things. outside of the usual reasons you'd be left that disheveled, he didn't have the best handle on them now that they were so long. he somehow managed to destroy your favorite shirt just from giving you a hug.

he was scheduled for a filing a few days ago. conveniently, he was too busy training some new recruits; then, every day after that, he has somehow been able to evade you. for such a large and easy-to-spot guy, Bowser proved to be hard to pin down.

"sorry honey, it's getting late and i'm ready to hit the sack." it was 7:30 in the evening.

"I- uh- have to run some drills with the kids!" they were out of the castle that day.

"whining isn't going to make me go quicker," so, you took on the burden of filing down his claws.

you managed to catch him off guard when he snuck out of bed for a midnight snack. clad in just your pj's and whatever slippers were available, you cornered him, a metal nail filer gripped tightly in your hand.

the 'fight', if you could even call it that, might've alarmed a few guards with the pots and pans you brought down with you as you pinned down the stubborn turtle. it took some convincing that there was no real threat and that you were doing it for his own good; their king ordering them to help him from the floor didn't help your case.

where you got the nerve to defy him, he'll never know.

It's silent after that. the only sounds filling the room are dramatic hissing and the back-and-forth sawing of the filer.

If he wasn't mourning the loss of his long minion shredders, Bowser would've been over the moon at the domestic gesture. you, tending to his nails to ensure they were in perfect shape, and him getting to soak in your warmth as you make yourself comfortable in his lap.

why did he even have to cut his nails down anyway? it's not like he has to. they're perfectly fine and just add to his cool, jagged persona. So unfa-

"I'd really appreciate it if you didn't breath on my neck so much."

your only answer is an even heavier puff of warm air that's closer and had more power behind it, "it's not like they were buggin' anybody."

"i have a giant scratch on my back that says otherwise." his arm that you weren't holding wraps around your middle almost apologetically.

he grumbles behind you as you softly blow at the newly shortened, still sharp claw, "see, doesn't that look better?"

briefly examining the hand you raised up to his face, he chuffs and looks off to the side stubbornly, not wanting to give you the satisfaction of him admitting that he liked them way better than before.

"if you really loved me, you woulda left them the way they were." he barely argues.

rolling your eyes, you peel yourself out of his hold, "it's not exactly ideal to be a living pincushion, y'know."

he remains silent, refusing to even make eye contact.

"want me to make you a sandwich?" you softly bargained, holding his rough cheeks in your hands and running your thumbs over his scales in a way you know he likes.

there's a pause, then he huffs, "with extra spicy mustard and chili flakes sprinkled on top?"

"anything for you, my king," you land a wet kiss between his bushy brows with an obnoxiously cute 'mwah!' and began moving around the kitchen in search of said ingredients.

with your back turned to him, the flustered koopa takes a peek down at his newly primped claws, flipping his hands over to fully admire your work.

a jagged, lovesick grin bumpily spreads out on his muzzle; he could get used to this.

#rewatched that one scene from kfp #bowser x reader #the only man i'd ever make a sandwich for at 12 am <<33 #'its a drabble' i say as i revise it and make it even longer #cosmicwrites #unedited

A/N ::: @kazutora-kurokawa is at it again, inspiring me and stuff. To be fair, I've been looking for some redeeming quality about this asshat - and tbh, I've not found anything. I think he's a lost cause, guys. Also, ningyō = "doll" and "human shape" in Japanese. I hope I'm not offending anyone with my little nicknames for reader. It's not my intention. I'm just trying to make it cute <3.

C/W ::: Kisaki x F.reader, morning M->F oral , really sweet Kisaki (where the lies come into play), just gross. So sweet and full of lies it's gross. Don't @ me about the massive inaccuracies here lmao. I'm fully aware.

WC ::: Just over 1,100

MDNI UNDER THE CUT, PLEASE//THANKS!

“Mmmaaahhh, where do you think you're going? Don't leave bed yet. Please?" Kisaki was so needy in the mornings. It's been like this since the beginning of your relationship. "Stay. Just a few more minutes?" He begged.

"Kisa', a few more minutes is the same universal trick as just the tip. I know that if I stay here for a few more minutes that we'll fall back to sleep and the whole day will be fucked." You smiled down at him from where you stood at the edge of the bed.

"You know ... you, too, could be fucked, ningyō. Come on. I felt you rubbing your ass against my dick all night." Kisaki was trying so hard to get you to listen to him.

"I was freezing my ass off and scooting closer to you so I could warm up. You always leave the window open like a psychopath. I mean, y'know. You are. That's all I was doing. It wasn't sexual." Laughing at him you noticed he furrowed his brow and frowned.

"You just like teasing me." He turned over in bed and pulled the covers up to his chin.

"I am not a tease, Kisa'. You're just a big baby." You were starting to feel bad. So you sat down and pulled the covers back from his face and tucked your fingers under his chin instead and kissed him. "How. How do you always have the best breath in the morning. You're an anomaly. A complete freak of nature. You defy logic."

"Please come back to bed. I need you." Did his lip tremble? No. You're seeing things.

"I need you too, Kisa'. But we have work to do today. I'm already running late."

"Then come back to bed and we can be late together." He reached up and pulled your shirt, dragging you closer and closer to him. To be fair, you weren't really putting up a fight. Your legs were already against the bed and you had no resistance left in you.

"Okay, maybe a few more minutes. But if we fall back to sleep, you're making breakfast." You smiled and laid down next to him.

He buried his nose in your neck and absorbed your scent and heat against his face. His stubble tickled you, making you tip your head to the side to keep him out as best you could - even though you wanted all of him all over you.

"You smell so good, ningyō. Like home." He breathed in again, nuzzling deeper into you.

"Well, I am home, so it makes sense."

"You are my home. My family." Kisaki's voice was soft and quiet. You felt him move closer to you, but didn't think anything of it until you felt his teeth on your shoulder.

"Hey! What are you doing?" You tried to push him away, but he held you tighter.

"I just want a little taste." He whispered and sucked on your skin, marking you.

"Kisa'! No! We can't right now. We'll be late!"

"Then don't let me fuck you. All you have to do is make me believe you don't want to do this. That's all." He bit down a little harder, making you gasp.

"Stop! Stop or I won't let you touch me at all." You laughed so hard. He always made you laugh. This was a side of him that no one else got to bear witness to. The kind and gentle Kisaki. The playful Kisaki. The Kisaki that made your heart burst with love.

He pulled away and licked the mark he made on your skin. It was red and tender to the touch. You could tell it would be purple by the end of the day.

"Kisa'. Please." You couldn't stop laughing.

"Fine. You win." He sighed and rolled away from you. "Just kidding!" He got on his hands and knees and scooted down under the covers, working his way between your legs. "I'm hungry for a different kind of breakfast."

"Wait! Kisa'! You said you wouldn't fuck me! No!" You tried to grab his head and stop him from moving, but he was already under your shirt and pulling your panties down.

"I never promised anything. Just that I wouldn't fuck you. Not that I couldn't make you feel good." His tongue was soft and warm against your folds. "Just lay back and enjoy it. It won't take long." He hummed against your cunt and sucked on your clit, making your whole body shake.

"Kisa'. Noooo-hahahaaaa! Please. Not now. We'll be la- fuck, god." You couldn't stop yourself from grinding against his face. You were so weak for him. And he knew it.

He pushed your legs wider apart and moved his tongue faster, pressing it deeper into you, rubbing your clit just hard enough that you'd feel it but soft enough that you sought him out more.

Your back arched and your eyes rolled back. You gripped the sheets and felt yourself gush over his face as he sucked every drop of you from his lips.

He pulled himself out from under the covers and kissed you deeply.

You adore how he kisses you. It's perfect. His lips are perfect for yours. His tongue is perfect for yours. The taste of you on his tongue is perfect. It's all perfect.

"You're a brat." You whispered, pulling him closer to you.

"I'm your brat and you're perfect. Come on. Let's go to work." He laughed and jumped off the bed, dragging you with him. "And you know, you have to return the favor tonight. So be ready."

"Don't worry. I'll be ready." You kissed him again and held his hand as you walked to the shower together. "And I'll make sure to lock the window so you won't be able to open it and freeze me to death while we sleep."

"Fine. But you can't lock me out of your heart, ningyō." He smiled and turned on the water. "Let's hurry and get cleaned up. We have a day ahead of us."

You smiled at him and shook your head. Kisaki was something else. But you loved him. And you'd love him forever.

"Kisa', you know I'm never leaving you, right? You don't have to keep marking me like this. I'm already yours. Always."

"I just want to make sure everyone knows who you belong to, ningyō. That's all. Now, let's get ready. I'm starving." He pulled you into the shower and started washing your hair, massaging your scalp with his fingers and humming a tune that made you melt.

This man was really and truly something else entirely.

PRELIMINARY POLL 2: THE OWL HOUSE

hello owl house fandom! out of all the ships you guys submitted, soba and i have narrowed it down to these three: aladarius, huntlow, and raeda. as per a previous post where we said we'll only be letting a maximum of 2 ships per fandom into the tournament, we're doing this poll to determine which ship(s) will represent your fandom. we haven't fully finalised the shortlisted ships yet, so based on the results either the top 1 or top 2 ships will be selected

also let us know if you guys have any preferred images for your ship(s)! i just plucked these from the shipping fandom wiki

propaganda for the ships are under the cut!

-mod deli 🎀

Aladarius:

Ahhhhhh, so many thoughts; where to begin? Well, first off, they were absolutely childhood friends and were practically attached at the hip for years and years. When they finally started dating around mid to late teens, they literally only changed labels and that was it. After a falling out and a messy breakup (and y'know alador getting married to someone else), it seemed like all was lost. after all, they were desperately trying to lessen contact with stark animosity between them. but after the day of unity, everything changed. with character arcs and divorce papers galore and maybe they began on speaking terms. and then friendly terms. and then back to where they were before, bickering like an old married couple. and then *being* an old married couple. yeah. gotta love the magical slime dilfs ◡̈

Huntlow:

They’re just. SO CUTE!! Hunter develops a crush on Willow first. When they first met, he was just looking to recruit more people into the emperor’s coven, and he thought she and some others would be a good fit. They played flyer derby together (a sport in the demon realm), and it was the first time he’d actually been able to have fun with people his age. His original plan was still in play so Willow and the others on the team got taken and put into custody so they could be put into the emperor’s coven. However, at this point Hunter felt incredibly bad. In the end, he broke the rules and got them out of there. He was prepared to be hated, but Willow and the others forgave him. I think at this point is when he started developing feelings for her. This guy, who talks so much people can see through his disguises because of his voice, will get SO quiet and blushy when she’s nearby. He knew there was an illusion when the illusion acted scared and shy because he saw her as the strong, courageous witch she is. She saw his cringe outfits and cosplay and took a picture for her scrapbook and called it a look. She winked at him and he blushed and smiled this goofy smile. When she finally broke down after trying to keep a brave face for the others, he comforted her. I think somewhere around here she started developing feelings too. They held hands!!! She said “you mean a lot to me too”!!! They mean so much to me.

Raeda:

NONBINARY REPRESENTATION DISABILITY REPRESENTATION TOGETHER AND HAPPY IN THE END They met as kids and got along from the start. They barely knew each other and still defied the orders of a representative of the EMPEROR so they wouldn't fight each other (they literally DANCED on the face of authority together. They eventually became lovers and broke up. Many years later found each other again and still loved each other so so much. I'm gonna repeat myself, but a disabled, chronically ill character and a nonbinary carachter have a friends to lovers story with a happy ending in a DISNEY ANIMATION. What else could you want?

#the owl house #aladarius #huntlow #raeda #mod deli 🎀#ftl admin stuff #ftl prelim poll #neither soba nor i are familiar with the owl house so if we made any mistakes please kindly point them out! <3 #also i probably don't have to say it but please be nice to the ships you didn't vote for and those who did vote for them <3

I feel like Venti must surely have had opinions on the Vision Hunt Decree, the Sakoku Decree, the Civil War, and all the rest of the Inazuma Archon Quests, yet I barely see anybody mention it (which feels like a huge missed opportunity). A metaphorical penny for your thoughts?

I feel like I'm far from the best-qualified person to comment on this (off the top of my head, @awake-my-oceans and @gierosajie both think a lot more about Venti than I generally do), but speaking from my own views on him, the short answer is: Kazuha got an Anemo Vision.

And I know, I know, it's confirmed by now that Archons don't directly hand out Visions. So the slightly longer answer is: I think he absolutely disapproved! I suspect he didn't have the power to interfere, outside his borders and on another Archon's territory. More crucially, though, I also don't think he intervened because no one asked him to. When we see Venti actively act as Barbatos and support revolution, it is, crucially, as support: he didn't start the rebellion against Decarabian, and he may have defied the Lawrences but he didn't start that revolt either. He acted to aid the Nameless Bard and his allies; he inspired Vennessa, but he didn't push her into anything (IIRC she didn't actually take him up on his suggestion to rebel until the Lawrences put her and her people into an absolutely untenable position). Venti hung around to help fight, but he didn't win either fight by force of his own power, which is particularly notable against the Lawrences when he already was Archon, and then he fucked off to let the humans he'd helped find their own way afterward. He seems to value leaving them their agency (which, y'know, God of Freedom), and so I don't think he was ever going to step up on Ei, except possibly by direct request from someone involved, and Ei wasn't exactly making herself available to more gently talk to.

But in terms of distant, indirect support and inspiration? I don't recall all the plot beats of the Inazuma AQ at this point, but IIRC correctly, it was Kazuha who went out and brought in Beidou and her mercenaries. And I don't think it's an accident, or just aesthetics, that of all the rebels he's the one with an Anemo Vision.

#asked and answered #venti did you pay for that wine #also peripherally #kazuha will write a poem about this

DAMN THE EMPEROR PICKED THE WRONG TIME TO TRY TO BE AN OVERPROTECTIVE WORRIED DAD LMAO. THIS IS LIKE IF ARCOS WAS LIKE "hey lloyd u always get in trouble/danger bc u try to build stuff everywhere, why don't u stop that" 😂

it is also so shitty of him it's very funny to me jakshdka

like damn, your son who spent his entire life so sick he could barely get out of bed on a good day has seemingly found a purpose in life besides lying around waiting to die in opening a clinic to heal patients for free, has poured his entire soul into making it work, has literally risked his life in an effort to keep it running, is demonstrably healthier and more driven than he's ever been and is accomplishing pretty amazing feats that always seem to be related to that clinic of his.

y'know what would be a pretty good thing to do as a dad? closing it down and make him focus on his studies as heir. the ones he never could take because, again, everyone was just sort of waiting for him to die so his brother could be named heir to the throne.

like yeah. that would be such a responsible parent thing to do.

it gets sorta funny in a very sad way lmao he's such a bad dad even when he's actually trying to be better lol

and about arcos,,, that man would love if his son could stop running around risking his life actually. he's. so stressed. all the time ajksdhka

arcos is a completely different character from asterion. like two polar opposites in the "proud dad trying his best at parenting a danger prone child" spectrum. but ultimately they both just want their kid to be safe.

the problem with asterion is that he's,,, used to getting his way as emperor lol. he's so authoritative that he just expects people to do as he orders. rakiel gets his attention precisely because he refuses to bend to what he expects him to do, he's interested because his son finally is showing some spine and initiative. but rakiel can't outright defy him either because, again, he's the emperor. so he has to resort to convince him and change his mind whenever asterion wants him to do or not do something that doesn't align with his plans. it's a fine line that he has to walk.

lloyd and arcos don't have to do that lol. lloyd isn't afraid to go against arcos wishes and he mostly doesn't have to either. arcos is way more lenient with lloyd than asterion is with rakiel. once lloyd proves that he's being sincere and not trying to cause problems arcos just trusts him.

he wishes lloyd would run away from danger the moment he sees it, he even goes as far as to think he should scold him to stop getting involved in dangerous situations when he comes back from fighting a hell knight, but he ultimately doesn't.

there's even a scene back in the giant ants arc (that the webcomic skipped grrrr) before lloyd starts the construction where he tells lloyd that he thinks his plan is great but he has one condition, for lloyd to stay outside the mine while it's being constructed because it's dangerous. but lloyd tells him that he can't promise to do that because the best way to prevent accidents and gain his workers' trust is to be right there while the projects is done. but he gives him his word it will be safe and arcos gives in to lloyd's stubbornness.

(he ends up being buried alive in a mountain with hundreds of giant ants but like. it's the thought that counts lol)

so! at their core both asterion and arcos wish their children would stop putting themselves in danger! they're parents that's what they do! they worry and fret and sometimes scold when their kids get into risky situations! but they way they deal with that desire is vastly different.

arcos trusts lloyd judgement, he asks him to be safe and to stop getting into dangerous situations, but at no point does he try to impose his will on lloyd because he knows his son is capable and trustworthy and whatever he does he's surely doing it for a good reason.

asterion is proud of rakiel, but he doesn't really,,, respect him, in a way. he thinks everything he's doing for the clinic is just a hobby of his, something he's doing to pass the time before taking on his duties as crown prince. he likes what rakiel is accomplishing, but he thinks rakiel being a doctor isn't nearly as important as what asterion has planned for him as prince.

he also feels guilty for neglecting his kid in the past, he feels guilty because only when rakiel regained his health and future did he start showing that he cared for him. so he's trying to make up for it now by trying to keep him safe and giving him more responsibilities and the respect that comes with them but in doing so he's trampling over rakiel's actual wishes and will. which is pretty hypocritical of him tbh, something that sir roberto actually calls him out on, it's great perfect scene 10/10

so like. yeah. i have a lot of thoughts on the way arcos and asterion act as parents as you can tell ajshdka

#hey i got an ask #m1sosazai #tged #the greatest estate developer #arcos frontera #lloyd frontera #asterion magentano #rakiel magentano #crown prince sells medicine #cpsm

Gale: A Bhaalspawn? Gosh. Gale: I know what it is to have a closer connection than most with the gods. But with Bhaal... that's not a bond I'd like to be bound with. You should be careful. Very, very careful.

Shadowheart: I suppose that makes you quite remarkable... though not in a way I'd envy, perhaps. Shadowheart: From what little I can recall hearing of Bhaal's mortal children, not all succumbed to his influence. Perhaps you can still resist your nature... if you want to.

Wyll: Hells - it explains so much. Wyll: Listen to me. I knew another like you - Gorion's Ward, one of Baldur's Gate's great heroes. Bhaal's blood ran through their veins too. Wyll: They burned away their own darkness with their own inner light. They chose courage, they chose honour - and so can you.

Karlach: That's a heavy weight. I know you can carry it, but it's heavy all the same. Karlach: You are so much more than your parents; you're more than the affliction that wants to consume you. Karlach: You are my friend. And you get to choose your destiny. Choose well, all right? Please.

Lae'zel: I'm not surprised. You've become death incarnate. Mighty, yes. And altogether unpredictable and intractable. Lae'zel: One day, perhaps soon, Bhaal will demand your fealty. You'll either muster the strength to defy him - or you will succumb. Lae'zel: I know how I'd choose.

Y'know, I think my favourites are Wyll and Lae'zel basically going "You know what yeah that tracks". They're all good, though. Gale's initial response being "Gosh" is also up there.

But I really like how while they're all a bit freaked they're still scared for Durge, not of them? Like... the Bhaalspawn are despised. Given the whole "sometimes Bhaal tugs on his kids' leashes and makes them commit atrocities whether they want to or not and also we're currently fighting Bhaal" thing it would make a lot of sense for this revelation to put them all on edge (especially if Durge did kill Isobel and/or got caught killing Alfira, in which case they've already proved that they are in fact at least a little murder-happy or at least very susceptible to their father's control), but after the initial conversation it's back to normal like nothing happened. And all of them are remarkably understanding about it and sure that you're capable of making the right choice. Or at least, they're all sure you're capable of choosing. There's this certainty that Durge is still in control enough to make a decision even if they're scared they aren't that shows a lot of faith in their willpower, even if the group maybe has some concerns as to what choice they're ultimately going to make. Also, I wonder if some of this dialogue would be different if I hadn't killed Isobel...

got any boxcars headcanons?

yessss :] I'll actually paste a thing I wrote a bit ago getting a little flowery about how I feel abt him, warning for mention/description of cannibalism and violence? but that's expected with Boxcars I think.

"I think boxcars is many things. enjoyer of soap operas and dime store romance novels, recreational cooking enthusiast, haver of competitive wrestling energy, amateur and heartfelt poet, rampant bisexual cliche enjoying romantic, violence doer with a near lack of erotic sadism and moreso schadenfreude and satisfaction, emotionally stable and happy as a person, and enjoyer of cannibalism through an almost spiritually fulfilling lens of consumption texture fascination and a boarish horrorterrors approval"

and

"it's actually so fucking romantic to work with a man who rarely smiles but seems to take great relish when torturing someone to turn to you and finally show a crescent of teeth as he threatens to loose you on him knowing the hedonistic joy you take in the taste of still trembling red meat" (droog and boxcars)

I think Boxcars has to practice his goon face in the mirror to look serious and scary, because he has such a good time with most things he does. He loves a good fight, he loves his work and his force of personality is magnetic, and it's more expected that he remain stoic and stone-faced but he's full of joy and genuine happiness, hes on warriormale shit, he's a huge ass guy who loves finding other big dudes to beat the shit out of.

He's the biggest ally in the intermission even if he doesn't know all the words he's got the spirit (he knows a lot of the words anyway). He'd stop fighting someone if they started having an asthma attack or panic episode and help them calm down and breathe before resuming the fight and ask ur pronouns before breaking your arm or something <3

Intense romantic and very bisexual, has a wide chivalric streak that Broad for example finds very charming- who wouldn't swoon a little over a huge guy delicately kissing your hand? (Dame doesn't. lol) He's probably the most stable of the Midnight Crew, he's got a strong moral principle (not saying it's always "good", but y'know) and he sticks to it pretty firmly, and defies orders he sees as violating them. As a big guy it's pretty hard to make Boxcars do something he doesn't want to do.

I'll also go over his horrorterror briefly: It's known as The Devouring Tusks, The Insatiable Boar, and The Patron of Empowerment. It's just how it sounds- A massive, consuming boar. I chose a boar partially due to their propensity for... eating people lol. It found Boxcars to be a kindred spirit who had previously discovered a fondness for carapacian, initially out of necessity in Exile- He needs a lot of food to keep himself up compared to his friends, and preferred to give them the game he could hunt down and take what was left or anyone who tried to kill him for the game on the way back as his own meal- very considerate of course, he loves his friends very much :]! And the boar sees him and sees that he understands, and they become patron and disciple. The Boar gives Boxcars the ability to draw the physical strength and life force out of his opponents through either physical contact and injury with focus, or automatically when consuming their body. By grabbing a person and digging his claws in he can kind of inhale the strength out through his jaws- this is the only way he's a match for Ace Dick once he's the STRONGEST MAN IN THE WORLD, in technicality- that title makes him almost automatically stronger than everyone else he encounters, until Boxcars extracts a slice of his strength, leveling the playing field and gaining an upper hand.

There's always more to say of course, but that's a big chunk to chew on right there!

In proximity I'll actually remark on Heedful Blandisher briefly. In my interpretation of mobswitch, Heedful is more of the outward face of the Meddlesome Company in terms of seeking sponsors and support. Scout is too notorious for his criticisms of businesses and appetite for dirt, and Deadeye is considered a bit stiff and awkward, and is usually the go-to for when illegal things need doing, specifically violence. If someone needs getting rid of, that's Deadeye, whether it's intimate and silent or a sniping, which he's skilled at. Blandisher is a good talker, he's charismatic and big and comfortable, and often finds himself comforting victims of various crimes they're investigating. He's a good hugger, very observant, and a bit of an armchair therapist. He also runs an advice show over radio in the late evenings, for various things but especially romance. Die listens a lot and calls in very regularly to give far too much information about himself and other cops whinging about how everyone bullies him and develops a big ol crush on Heedful haha

Ok now I'm done

Y'know one of the best things for Caelus?

Being able to fight these intergalactic threats, go on the death defying journeys with pals new and old.

And still be able to make it back to the Express around 11pm to catch his favorite cartoon line ups. There's just a chaotic sense of freedom to know that TV is just always waiting back home after all of this.

For all of his hotheadedness, it's one of the best damn ways to decompress. Yes, if you join him, he'd be the type to toss a bag of chips at your face and tell ya to kick back too.

Those big glug slushies are also a valuable snacking option too. Being a guy of simple pleasures certainly does have it's advantages.

Fate can wait a lil bit.

KNIGHT ‼️‼️‼️

YOU ARE SO BIG FUCKING BRAIN

I DIDNT EVEN THINK ABOUT THE HOUNDOOMS. YOU ARE SO SMART HOLY SHIT I FEEL BAD FOR DIANTHA NOW. SHE DIED THE WAY HER MOM ALWAYS THREATENED HER WITH

But yeah, all the Champions families can’t even bring themselves to watch the live feed because who wants to see their daughter and granddaughter get mauled to death? Or see their son being slowly burnt alive while he pleads for mercy? Or watch as their uncle struggles while his head is held underneath water. Or even their sister who’s being skinned alive from her feet to her head. Even their big bro who’s being tossed around like a rag doll between two large Pokémon fighting over him

Giovanni is a BITCH for bringing Clair and Silver into this. Like they weren’t even given a chance to live just for the sole reason they’re important to Lance. And Gio wants to see Lance break even more after he had to witness his daughter and wife die

Also, which of the Elite Four members and Gym Leaders do you think would join Team RR? Either out of fear or just because they think they can benefit from it?

OUGHFHFFH RIGHT CHSMBXNS

Your honour that's so fucked up I can only imagine Drasna really going through it but also still trying to comfort Augustine, but they're both really so out of it man, especially how Drasna knew of the threats Dia's mother said to her; Drayden's there on the hunt for Plasma, just letting his rage out on all the grunts he sees, the sages, until he gets to Ghetsis himself; Joseph couldn't handle it man, he already lost his wife now he lost his son, the sound of Steven's screams haunts him; god Lisia too, the only family she had left and now he's being drowned, and she cursed the irony of it, of Wallace being so drawn to the waters but it's also one of the reasons for his death; Cyn's sister and grandparents tho chdmdb like Cyn's sis knew Cyrus was her friend, and she couldn't believe Cyrus would do that to Cynthia; and then there's Hop, crying his poor little heart out, screaming for his brother, the once great champion of Galar reduced to nothing but a chew toy for those pokemon.

Ough that's fucked up, but also where the fuck is Geeta in all this— imagine tho in the au of an au where she's evil, imagine she's the one to tell Lysandre what would really break Diantha, bc Diantha confided in her y'know, told her everything, her best friend, her platonic soulmate, then suddenly Geeta looks at her with cold and calculating eyes, suddenly she wasn't the friend Diantha knew, and god that fucking broke her man, how Geeta used Dia's vulnerabilities, how she knew each and every one of em, and used that to her advantage chsnnd

But for the not evil Geeta thing imagine if she did hid herself tho, and everyone else called her a coward. But that was the last thing Diantha told her, Dia made her promise to hide, like what she said to Iris, to just hide, to not let Giovanni find her. But that backfired on Geeta tho, and now everyone, especially the family of the other Champions, called her cowardly, how she couldn't even try to help her fellow champions, how she couldn't even try to save them. But man that would haunt her too, having to watch Diantha die, having to watch her friends die, it fucked her up so so much and she hated herself so much that she didn't defy Diantha and went to her side to help her

As for the league members thatd join Team RR

For Kanto idk, since in the manga majority of em was associated w Rocket,, well let's go w that. Sabrina, Surge, and Blaine are my top three for that, tho I wanna say Blaine was blackmailed into joining bc he was one of the people who made Mewtwo. Green would be against them tho, I know the Kanto trio would team up w the rest of the Gym Leaders to stop them.

For the Johto leaders, I really can't see any of them joining Team RR, even if they're threatened I think some or most would rather go down w a fight than to join em. For the Indigo E4, low-key I think Koga and Will would join em.

For Hoenn's league, Norman. And for Sinnoh to Unova none of em they'd be against RR, Unova especially man they really fought tooth and nail to stop Plasma only for Plasma to be part of RR and is now more threatening than before. For Kalos, I honestly think Lysandre would threaten and blackmail Malva to joining again, idk if she'd cave in or not bc holy shit™. Alola to Paldea, none too, idk, bc Alola didn't want to be part of it ofc, their league is still fairly new, most of their members are children, if anything I wanna say they'd try to fight them off if they do get to their region. The Galarian people got Rose Tower demolished man they're so fucking pissed at Rose, no one's ever seen Raihan and Sonia that pissed before too like these two especially want to hunt down Rose. And for Paldea, well, not only are they mourning the other Champions but also mourning and kinda hating on their own Champion too, my guy, Geeta's really going through it, she doesn't wanna lose anyone else, so she keeps an eye on her league members within the shadows, to make sure none of them ever join RR

#yknow wheres hau in this too—#or is he not champion in this au? hahah #anyways does this make sense cause like chmdnd im info dumping hahahah #and whenever i do that i tend to not make much sense bc of alk the stuff i wanna write that they kinda overlap w each other hahah #but hey anwyays #the more i think abt this au the more i think that hey what if this is actually the au in that rebellion au where the champs got killed #cause like?? they all died here and its like the same in the rebellion au hahah #and like.. trying to make it make sense iris still failing the bond phenomena thing before plasma kidnapped her and killed her #idk its fun to think abt it ig hahaha #pokemon au #pokemon champions #an ask and an answer #jerseyk112

Predicting Episode 11: The TiwTinn Segment

i'm quite fixed on tiwtinn having a fight so no matter how that comes to be, the point would be the fact tiw has been worrying about defying his parents' expectations and studying what he wants once he graduates. graduation is around the corner and he's been having this inner conflict but not once has he complained to tinn, they never discuss anything other than tinn and his fears, his issues, his desires, his happiness. tinn is chasing after gun - tiw is one step ahead chasing harder. tinn is happy they're finally dating - tiw is congratulating him. after every scheme and all the time invested, still tinn took his sweet time sharing with tiw that gun confessed to him. when tiw promotes chinzhilla and the guys suspect he likes someone in the band, tinn is not there. what would his reaction be? what can tinn actually say about his best friend's worries, wants and current troubles? if tiw wants chinzhilla to win not only for tinn but because his crush is a chinzhilla member, then he's been holding the hope he could finally confess close to his heart the whole time. none of these things ever reach tinn nor the audience, i have to use the little i know about tiw and por to deduce that tiw could possibly hold at least a miniscule grudge against tinn for being so (unintentionally) self-centred. everyone has had a friend like tiwson or has been tiwson (or both) and the same goes for tinn. even if you don't want to, you slowly start resenting the person you want to help for not reciprocating your efforts. tiwson has been planning, encouraging, lending an ear all while managing his own life we barely get a glimpse of. he is dealing with all the stress of growing up tinn is facing - he has to pick a career, he has a crush on someone who is more or less unattainable, he's second only to tinn in the school council which is a big responsibility on top of his classes. the difference is he hasn't settled on a career, he hasn't gotten the boy and he is running the council while tinn helps his bf's mom (which, fair, props to tinn as well, awful situation to be in);

what im trying to say is if i've misunderstood the edit i saw and they didn't have a fight..maybe they should've, y'know

#msp #my school president #trying to figure out what happened in ep 11 before watching it lol #tiwpor #this got so long i have to start overr lmao

Seeing as Jack's childhood is my Roman Empire, apparently, and piggybacking off our convo the other night about the icy tree, I'd love to hear some anecdotes from when Jack was a kiddo! I think about him jumping off the roof in an attempt to fly, like, every other day (and have even attempted to comic it), lmao. Plus young parents!Blinter have my whole heart. 😍😍😍

And I think about the anecdote from The Forgiven with the bird freezing probably JUST as much!

THANK YOU for diving into the ask box with distractions!! My day got even MORE a day (derogatory) in the HOUR I was home for before heading back out so this is appreciated!

Allow me to oblige you with some fun facts and the like from CS Jack's childhood lol

Icy tree: Winter made it for him to show him he could do lovely things with ice after yet another lament (bc we all be KNOW this guy laments) and kick started his artistic prowess

Winter's mantra was "when the season gives you dead citrus, chuck it at those who piss you off :)" and she 100% taught this to Jack

(Who later goes sure I could chuck dead citrus at annoying people. But what if. What if I threw a CHILD at them)

(Jacqueline, tiny, cackling, and ready to be launched: >:D)

I gotta write the flying off the roof thing lmao. It's funny bc it's when Winter teaches him how to defy gravity and it's done in the funniest way. My god. I should write it

young parents!Blinter were wildin lmao. They brought Jack to work with them quite frequently when he wasn't getting in trouble at school and y'know. doing shenanigans. he was a very amusing child and brought them endless hours of delight while on the job bc he did not gaf. He'd speak his mind whenever.

this one time Jack was at City Hall with Blaise and overherad one of the other governors planning a coup

he sat in and asked all about the coup and got the details of the plan, went back to Blaise and told him EVERYTHING

opened that one with "hey dad? what's a coup?"

One of Blaise's top ten days at work, to this day

Jack would sweet talk ANYONE to get a lil extra stuff while out and about with Winter lmao. The OG Market Day grouping!!! He was (and still is) a damn good schmoozer and Winter was always like "how far can this go".

You know that reel you sent me with the kid bargaining with the Dunkin' Donuts worker and coming back with more and more doughnuts? That's Jack

When Jacqueline was born, he was throwing down in the hospital with Spring

She INSISTED on being there and Winter went "absolutely fucking not" so Blinter, being the gr8 parents they are, went "you know what Jack would love. keeping Spring OUT" and they were right

(Spring thought she could manage to be there when the Twins came around but Jacqueline learned from the best and it SHOWED)

When Jack was born Blaise pulled double duty (support wifey, the love of his life, AND fight off SIL who worries too much) until Summer and Autumn intervened

This was on the day they had their wedding party so please picture the seasons and blaise in full wedding regalia. the whole nine yards. fancy dresses and suits and roach killer shoes. Spring deffs had a very froufrou hat

The people at the mat ward at CSG were like "if another Frost kid comes along it'll be too soon"

SHIFTING BACK TO FOCUS MODE

Blinter did their BEST before Jack hit two-thousand to curb his bad habits in healthy ways, which worked about 50% of the time

"What they don't know can't hurt them" Jack thought by the time he was 1700

He was dead wrong. They knew everything. He had no idea how. He still doesn't tbh. And they still seemingly know everything

ANYWAY they were pretty good at distracting him MOST days. It got harder the older they got and the older he got and when Santa started his whole thing it was all downhill from there baby

They both thought Jack would be GREAT at teaching Jacqueline. They did NOT just let him bc they'd hoped it would curb his bad streak. They hoped it WOULD, but they also genuinely saw how much he enjoyed it and went "oh good! another way to offset his energy into healthier things!"

Jack was the kinda kid that was like I WANT TO LEARN E V E R Y T H I N G

Blaise, coming from the royalty background of being forced to learn everything even if you didn't want to, was very supportive of Jack learning things he WANTED to learn and did his best to meet that need

They clashed a lot tho bc Jack was very not patient and patience goes a long way in learning a new skill

This is the first thing Jack learns ever lol

Blaise taught him the warlock stuff!! He was very hesitant to teach it all bc of his own experiences, and Jack was, of course, impatient lol.

Jack was also exceptionally good at picking stuff up just by watching. He soaked up concepts like a SPONGE as a kid

Teaching Jacqueline was like, challenge mode bc she was very hyperactive and couldn't sit still and extra goofy which made for a lot of long nights of a simple concept being like, drawn out for way too long

Oodles of fun tho, he loved how silly and goofy this gremlin of a sibling was (still does)

Was one of those kids. Who says like weirdly wise things that are also slightly spooky. Older castors would be enthralled with this random 12 year old about philosophical matters and questions beyond their understanding of the universe that they discussed to death

you know. the weird shit kids say that make you go UM ARE YOU OKAY? ARE YOU HAUNTED MAYBE? BY GHOSTS? IS IT GHOSTS?

When Jack was born Blaise was 100% the Dad who carried the baby around in a lil. Baby carrier thing on his chest all the time. Endless hours of delight when 3 and 4 came around and people would see Fino on his chest like CUTE BABY and he'd whip around and OH MY GOD THERE'S A SECOND ONE as Fiera looked at them like >:)

Okay this post is starting to LAG so that's all I've got for you for now, lol. Ty for the distraction and I hope you enjoyed these crystal springs FACTS: Jack's childhood edition ft. young blinter and baby sibs every so often ;)

#young blinter is such a wild concept to me #they were unhinged! well. winter was! blaise was just happy to NOT be one of the ding dang twin princes anymore #i've said it before and i'll say it again! winter is where the kids get their chaos #blaise is where they get their chillness from lmao #ask box shenanigans #dani answers #definitelyy-not-a-vampire #cs posting #crystal springs #crystal springs FACTS #young blinter #baby frosts #ty again k! this really helped me chill out about things today a LOT

hey guys, just found out that my brother's friend's uncle's grandmas' mailman's sister works at roosterteeth, so now i have a REAL and TRUE reveal of how rwby episode 10 will go, We open with Jaune falling because fuck immediately following up on what happened to Ruby lol Jaune closes his eyes... he thinks... this is it... Going out at the ripe old age of *shrug*... But who else is there to save him... But his long-lost love... Herbalist.... "Herbie-kun,,," Jaune coos, as the Herbalist grabs him in his big strong arms and carries him to safety. "Jaunejamin..." Herbalist replies, defying the rules of Ascension to perfectly remember Jaune. For all of you who aren't True Fans, Jaune's full first name IS Jaunejamin, they said so in the secret behind the scenes director's cut edition of the RWBY x Maplestory x Yu-Gi-Oh x Tower Of God crossover comic that costs $59.99 per issue, makes Ozpin transphobic on-page, and is Totally Canon, I Promise. "Jaune!!" Weiss cries, rushing forward to hug him mid-fight. Gotta have the Whiteknight after all! "Oh, poo. You survived," says Neko, which they are literally going to start calling the amalgation of Curious Cat and Neo now with no prior setup or explanation. "Grr. This is all your fault, Neko," Weiss says. "Feel my SCHNEE FURY™" "How did you just do that with your mouth," Neko genuinely wonders, staring blankly, as Weiss shoots a Hadouken because her Semblance already does like 372.6 different things so if you don't think she can shoot Hadoukens shut up yeah she can. "Y'know, Weiss, kind of homophobic of you to shoot a Hadouken when I, the hand-to-hand fighter, should be the one in the best position to learn how to shoot Hadoukens :(" Yang says. "Wh- N-no, Yang, I'm not homophobic, I-" Weiss starts nervously, immediately stopping the fight to sheepishly back away from Yang and begin anxiously twiddling her thumbs. "No, Weiss, she kinda has a point," Blake points out, crossing her arms and dotting her eyes as she gives Weiss the kind of hurt, quivering, pitiful gaze only achievable by someone who's recently kinda just been the delicate waifu of the bunch. "Yeah Weiss, that's a bit of a dick move," chimes in another voice from offscreen. Everyone turns, gaping.... They can't believe their eyes... It's... It's Shrek! "Ruby? I-is that you?" Yang says. "I'm Shrek now," Shrek says. "It's all ogre now... my precious daughter can finally rest..." "Wait..." Yang says, eyes widening to the size of like, really wide eyes. "I always suspected... but I didn't want it to be true..." "Aye, lass," Shrek said somberly, looking at Yang with a tenderness that belies his Shrekosity. "Summer Rose was never really your sister's mum. 'Twas I. Shrek." "NAAAUURRR!!!" Yang cried, breaking down in Blake's arms and somehow showing more emotion over this than she's showed over anything all volume. "Well well well," Neko says, sashaying up to Shrek with a mischievous smirk. "Hellooooo, big b-," Neko starts to purr, before Shrek immediately grabs them by the neck, instantly snapping the vertebrae. It's like. Weirdly detailed and graphic for no reason. "Get out of my swamp." Shrek says nastily, before spinning around a couple of times and then hurling Neko like a shotput. Breaking the sound barrier upon launch, Neko is sent careening away at such dizzying speeds, body crumpled and lifeless as it goes barrelling through countless obstacles for miles upon miles, before finally landing in That One Family Guy Pose. You Know The One. Fin.

Of All the People - Ch. 10

hehe. i love a-lister dialogue <3 written, shockingly, by @ectolemonades and @attackradish and myself for invisobang, with chapter 1 art by @/toasty-ghosti :3

whole fic summary: After a stupid dare puts Dash Baxter in the lab at Fentonworks during the middle of a ghost fight, he finds himself a little more spectral than usual. Apparently Danny Fenton’s gone through the same thing (someone has got to call OSHA on these guys eventually), and who could better help Dash than his hero? His lame, stubborn hero?

warnings: Nothing for this chapter! In others, existential crises, and Spectra.

words: 1846

AO3 link

first chapter

previous chapter

next chapter

===

"GUYS."

Dash's arrival to the hallway table where the A-listers sat before school was frantic.

"I need to tell you something." His voice was hushed, posture hunched, eyes darting conspiratorially.

Paulina matched his tone but kept to more subtle body language. Looking like you were hiding something was basically an open invitation for other students to listen in. It was the agreed-upon social signal that something was gossip and not just information. And this was looking like something that could not become gossip. "Is this about ghosts?"

"No. Well, I guess. Kinda. It's…"

He bit his lip for a few seconds. His friends were patient.

"I think I have a crush on Fenton."

While Dash's face wrinkled up, Paulina's stretched into a grin. She let herself lean forward. While this wasn't gossip she wanted going public, it was gossip, and she was going to respect that.

"Fenton?" asked Star. "Are you— I mean, not that that's bad or anything! But are you sure? He was pretty cool when he was showing us those Yetis and everything but being cool doesn't keep him from being a dweeb. A cool dweeb is still a dweeb."

"Give him some credit!" piped up Paulina. "A cool dweeb is still cool. I would say Fenton's coolness is enough to override his dweebiness. Because of the ghost fighting."

"I mean yeah but the emotional shift after years of—"

"Is this really news?"

Everyone looked at Kwan.

"I mean, now that we know he's… y'know. I thought we had accepted that Dash's whole thing with Phantom was some kind of a crush. So shouldn't that be a given?"

"That—! Was that a crush?" Dash was beet red by now.

"You know what?" Star shifted in her seat to look at Dash like a lawyer might look at a potential client or a wolf might look at a piece of meat. "Suddenness or un-suddenness aside, we're talking about your current feelings. Tell us what's got you flustered around Danny."

"What? Do you just want blackmail material or something? I didn't come here for an interview!"

"No no," said Paulina, "this is important information in our journey of understanding ghosts."

Kwan nodded seriously.

"So is it the patient understanding he shows when you train?"

"Or the way, when he needs to, he picks you up like you weigh nothing?" added Star, helpfully.

"Or how he always looks like he's defying gravity when he laughs?" added Kwan, doubly so.

"Or—"

"As a matter of fact it would be all of those things." Dash's hissing wasn't entirely human, but his friends didn't seem to care as they broke out into a chorus of combined "aww"s and laughter. His glare was just as ineffective.

"Well, I'll bet he feels the same way about you."

"Yeah! Any ghost boy would be lucky to have a catch like you."

Dash hoped that was true.

===

"Guyyys…"

Danny's moan was muffled from his spot laying on a branch of the tree where he and his friends spent their mornings.

"Aww, I know that tone. Is this about ghosts?" asked Sam teasingly.

"Kinda." He slid off the branch and landed, clumsy but silent, on the grass. "I think Dash has a crush on me."

Tucker finally looked up from his PDA. "As in, Dash Baxter? The very Dash Baxter who, on our Zone trip the other day, asked Frostbite if the Ghost Zone had, quote, 'barcades but for dead people'? That Dash?"

"Yes!"

"Can I politely ask where you got the idea that Dash, a literal high school quarterback who I'm pretty sure was yanked out of his home universe of a shitty 80s coming-of-age movie and stuck in ours, has a crush on 'freaky-geeky-Fenton'?"

Danny frowned at Sam. "Well, you didn't have to say it like that."

"Sorry. Dashing, charming Fenton? Who I will remind you is a boy?"

"That's better."

Tucker patted his shoulder.

"And just because he's a living cliché doesn't mean he's straight. Look at Tucker 'The Womanizer' Foley over here. Just because he's never landed a date doesn't mean he's ever wanted one."

"Hey, man, there's a difference between trying to get a date to see what the hype's all about and being a literal bully. If Dash has an ounce of queer in him, he's not just burying it, he's giving it cement shoes and sending it swimming with the fishes off a Brooklyn pier."

"Look, however he feels about his sexuality, I'm pretty sure he has a crush on me and I have no idea how to feel about that!"

"Once again. Source?"

Danny huffed and pulled at some grass by his legs. "I can sorta taste it. I think."

"Oh shit!" Tucker perked up. "Is this that emotional feeding thing we've been talking about? — I know," he cut in before Danny could interrupt, "I know. Not feeding."

"Not on purpose at least." Sam received another frown.

"Yeah… it's kinda been there for a while. Sometimes he'll look at me when I'm doing something and then there'll just be… warm. And shocked, and bright like sour candy, and hesitant. And sometimes his heartbeat picks up when that happens. It tastes kinda like admiration and excitement, so I figured… it couldn't really be much else. I don't know."

"Mm." Tucker thought for a moment. "Well, do you like him back?"

Danny sputtered. His friends looked at him with anticipation.

"I— huh? Not that I know! Fuck, the guy's been bullying me for years and now I have to keep him out of trouble while he's looking at me like I have all the answers when I barely have my own ghost stuff figured out! Why would I have a crush on him?"

"Because he's determined enough to keep trying to help," said Sam.

"And he's kept your secret with the utmost devotion."

"And he rocks that varsity jacket-skinny jeans combo."

"And he keeps a closet full of teddy bears because he loves them so much."

"And—"

"Shut up! Oh my God. This is gonna be just like when I told you guys about my crush on Spike in middle school. I'm not just gonna, what, develop feelings for my origin story high school bully because we're training together now or whatever."

Tucker turned to Sam with a wholly serious face. "And they were half-ghosts."

"Oh my God they were half-ghosts."

"Fuck you guys. I'm gonna go fail a pre-calc quiz."

Danny's friends laughed as they got to their feet and walked with him.

…Dash did make that varsity jacket look good.

===

Paulina spent class patiently waiting for free study time. With the test coming up, she knew today’s lecture would be short before they were granted an opportunity to study quietly in small groups.

It was as if the stars had aligned for her. Statistics was the only class her respective friend group had without Dash, and the only class she had with Sam and Tucker that didn’t have Danny. She had been itching to talk to Sam – something she never thought she’d experience, but their groups had grown close recently, given the circumstances. Finally, finally, after a brief review of the formulae they’d be applying on the test, they were given study guides for the rest of the period.

Paulina wrote a note to Sam, waiting until their teacher was distracted to casually adjust her hair and drop the folded slip of paper on the desk behind her.

‘Dash has a crush on Danny.’ The note was straightforward. They knew they had to keep their communications as brief and private as possible for the time being; if the A-Listers were suddenly best friends with the people they’d relentlessly bullied, someone might stick their nose where it didn’t belong. It would be a gradual process.

She absently scribbled on her worksheet, waiting for some type of cue that Sam acknowledged this information. She felt Sam tap her shoulder, and smoothly reached up to take the paper she was passed.

‘We know.’

Paulina couldn’t contain her eyeroll when she read it. She felt Kwan’s gaze on her, expecting an update, and shook her head at him. This told her nothing. How did they know? Did Danny even remotely feel the same?

How was she supposed to plan the most epic love story of their generation if they gave her nothing to work with?

Paulina sighed and turned around, putting on her best act of reluctance in case anyone was paying attention. “Sam, as much as it pains me to ask this, do you and Tucker want to work in a group? We could use some extra help on the study guide.”

“What’s in it for us?” Sam quirked an eyebrow at her. Kwan and Star had tuned in now, looking between the pair expectantly, and Tucker leaned forward in his seat to join in.

“I’ll… invite you to my next party?” Paulina tried.

“Sam, let’s do it. I never get to go to Paulina’s parties.” Tucker had picked up on the act.

“Fine,” Sam feigned irritation. They shifted their desks closer to each other.

“So?” Star whispered.

“Yeah, I’m really not sure what’s actually going on here yet. Is something wrong?” Tucker asked.

“Dash has a crush on Danny,” Paulina repeated the contents of her note in a low voice. “I want to do something about it.”

“More specifically, she wants to set them up,” Kwan added.

“How do we play into this? They’re their own people, can’t they figure it out on their own?”

“Don’t you see, Sam?" Tucker was grinning like he had awaited this day his whole life. "We always hang out in a group. Pretty much the only time they’re alone together is sometimes when they’re training. We have to get them to spend time together outside of that.”

Sam seemed at a loss. “I get what you’re saying here, but how can we make them hang out? It’s not exactly subtle to just tell them to meet up somewhere together.”

“With all due respect, Sam, I did not expect you to be so dense about this,” Star said.

“We have to make plans with them and then ditch them.” Paulina explained the process just like it was one of their Stats principles.

“Back out last minute so they’re obligated to go through with the plans, but it would only be them,” supplied Kwan.

“We could force them to pair up in class, too. Partner up with each other instead, when we get the chance,” Tucker suggested.

Sam finally gave a slow nod. “Okay. In case it wasn’t obvious, we’re pretty sure Danny’s reciprocating his feelings, so… I’m in.”

Paulina clapped a hand over her grinning mouth to contain the excited squeal that wanted to escape. Tucker looked equally as excited, and Kwan and Star seemed pretty satisfied with their plan.

The bell signaling the end of class rang, and students began hurriedly gathering their belongings to move onto their next class. Paulina stuck her hand out at Sam, who looked at it for a moment before shaking it, officially solidifying the agreement.

"mark my words, boy. defy me and I will have you and every one of your friends locked up in the refuge. what about your pal - davey, and his baby brother. ripped from their loving family and tossed to the rats. will they ever be able to thank you enough?"

and that's just what he did. jack had defied pulitzer at the rally, and sided with his fellow newsies. now, all the manhattan group were trying to escape their capture. other boroughs, including brooklyn, had left not long ago, but had managed to avoid the arrest potential.

the newsies tried to fight, but the police had more strength. batons in hand, they started to beat the kids. jack would never unhear splasher's screams. finch nearly got knocked out cold trying to rescue him. in the midst of the chaos, jack saw davey. he and race were trying to get one of the officers away from les, but they weren't strong enough. jack watched as davey fell to the ground, tears covering his face. he couldn't save his baby brother. race had left his side, now attempting to fight the delanceys off elmer.

jack felt a hand on his shoulder. rough, hard. he turned. snyder the spider. snyder the snitch. jack didn't even fight back as handcuffs were placed on his wrists. he deserved to be thrown into the refuge. he was put into the back of a van with albert, henry, buttons and mike. they didn't once look in his direction.

the concrete hit hard as he was thrown against the ground. no-one sent him a glance. the room was familiar. each cold dormitory in the refuge was the same, but the kids were different. at least, jack didn't recognise any of them.

another kid was soon pushed into the room. it was davey. no cap or waistcoat, his shirt all dirty with a little blood. rubbing his wrists from the cuffs, he didn't look at jack. "dave…" jack's voice was hoarse, but davey wouldn't listen. "dave, please." he didn't care how many other people were in the room. when davey finally turned around, jack almost broke at the sight of his face. his cheek was bloody, eyes red and stained. "jack, how could you?"

he was taken aback. "i - dave, i stood by the newsies, jus' like i always would." to which davey shook his head, "oh, yeah? you ran off when crutchie got arrested. I have no idea where les is or if he's okay. y'know, at least if you had sold us out, you'd already be off to live your dream in santa fe. the hell away from us."

jack stuttered, "you've been a newsie for 3 days, you have no idea the hell we have to live with! you have a loving family, dave, y'know what any of us would give for that?!" some of the others had started listening into the argument, the two just ignored them.

davey was quick to retort, "my dad lost his job, we nearly got kicked out of our apartment! jack, wake the hell up. the only reason any of us are in here is because of you." on his last word, davey jabbed him in the chest. jack, in the short time he'd known davey, hadn't expected him to have this side to him.

"you just better hope les is okay, for your own sake." davey simply threatened, promptly ending the conversation.

NXT: Stand & Deliver - Quickfire Thoughts

Before Mania there's Stand & Deliver. This one I've not been as close to following but since I'm watching let's see how it goes

Spoilers for the PPV

Kinda sucky that half the women in the ladder match didn't get an entrance

Zoey's Arabian Press onto Indi was pretty neat, she did a lot of the heavy lifting this match

Jayne's interference, while anticipated, really did take the wind out of the match though, especially followed by NOBODY catching Stratton's dive off the falling ladder

The finish was drawn out, Indi needed help to climb a ladder? I dunno the crowd liked it but it also bodes why Roxanne had to drop

The Italian coded guys at least had a cool entrance

Still like the Creeds, they feel like if FTR and American Alpha had a kid

Italian guys' finisher was cool too

2 for 2 in interference

I've had my qualms with Pretty Deadly, but their skit was pretty fun

Even if I want a good fight I have no idea why Wes Lee would pick JD McDonagh as part of his 5-way?

Dragon Lee's entrance was pretty cool, heavy on the slowmo

Wes Lee having a Rock Lee-esque graphic was cool

That flying arm clash between Axiom and Lee was some Matrix stuff

The superkick catching the backflip was Adam Cole vs Ricochet-value

Dragunov is just great

Trick Williams insulting PD's outfits like he isn't just wearing a lighter version of the sparkly blazer

Gargano landed worse on that suplex onto the chair stack

It did eventually end up a bit of a squash, with Candice getting involved, but the fans enjoyed it

The Way (minus Theory) reunite too

Missed opportunity for Pretty Deadly to name their 'PD exclusive' a PDA

Spooky girls are kinda hot spooky

We've actually got some good tag synergy and psychology from the Hot Spooky Girls

A Gory Bomb/Facebuster finisher is clean too

Dunno what the finish was about, probably need story context but it's still kinda weak

Bron/Melo did not need a ref bump

Can't see why Bron is okay about losing the title after Trick hit him from behind with the belt after he had the visual submission on Melo, kinda weird that, but Melo was the right person to win

Conclusion I've seen people say this was better than Supercard but I'm afraid I'm not one of them. No offence to NXT, they put on a good show, but it's still got the WWE-isms of running interference that is unneeded. Consider the fact that only 2 matches had outside involvement, the women's tag titles and the NA title 5-way and the fact that the Waller match was because they have nothing for Gargano or Candice on the main roster and it's still in the middle.

Compared to the last PPV I watched of NXT it was definitely better, some questionable decisions but I've seen improvement here and there from talent. Think I'd have enjoyed it more if I watched it first and then Supercard, you watch Vikingo defy logic then everything else high flying just kinda gets muted y'know?

Match of the Night: same as Supercard, the 5-Way Best Attire: Melo's LA Lakers attire Best Performance: Ilja Dragunov Best Spot: Interceptor Superkick onto Wes Lee
