Ever feel so genuinely and passionately angry about how much you hate how the writers ruined a character when the character had genuine potential to be something great

15 days til' Christmas
planning to surprise husband!miguel o'hara with the best gift ever⋆꙳•̩̩͙❅̩̩͙‧͙ ‧͙̩̩͙❆ ͙͛ ˚₊⋆
--------------------------------------------------------
If there was one thing about Miguel that confused you it was what gift to get him for Christmas. You were always buying things that made you think of him or clothes that he would look handsome in(he looks good in literally everything).
But you couldn't help but feel like it wasn't enough. You couldn't help but feel like you needed more. You wanted to give him a gift that was tear-wrenching.
You thought that you would never get the opportunity to give Miguel the gift you thought he deserved. Until that opportunity presented itself in a certain two-lined symbol on a white stick you had peed on.
Right then you knew exactly what his gift would be this year. The only issue was that you had to keep this secret until Christmas which was in a whole week. But, you couldn't keep anything from Miguel for the life of you. What was worse is that he was incredibly perceptive and always knew when something was different.
You were already two months along and you never realized that you were extremely behind on your period until your period tracking app pointed out that you stopped getting your period after you logged unprotected sex during your fertile window.
You and Miguel were dating for three years before you got married and your second marriage anniversary was coming up. You weren't really trying for kids but the two of you didn't mind if you were to have one. You talked about it and you both felt ready so you started being more carefree about protection every now and then.
Miguel was used to taking three days off of work once a month to help you through your abnormally painful period cramps. He was so busy that hadn't realized you hadn't gotten your period.
You quickly got a long box and placed the pregnancy test in it before wrapping it up and putting it under the tree. There were already tons of gifts under the tree so it didn't seem weird at all.
You cleaned up your mess and right when you checked your watch you realized that it was seven o'clock. Miguel should be arriving any minute by now-
"Honey! I'm home!" you heard Miguel call out from the mud room. You could hear the noises of some bags indicative that he went grocery shopping like you had asked.
You rushed to the entrance and gave Miguel a big hug. You'd been missing him all day and it was taking every fiber in your body to not just tell him the great news right then and there.
"Woah amor, did you miss me that much?" he chuckled as he walked down the hall with you clinging to him.
You sat on the counter taking groceries out of bags as he put them away listening to him rant about how things were going at work. Most people wouldn't be very fond of listening to someone ramble about work for 30 minutes straight but Miguel wasn't a rambler he was a storyteller.
If he was going to tell you about his day, trust he would talk about it in a way that made it intriguing. He often made you laugh when he told you about some of the harmless silly rumors floating around at the office.
One thing that his fellow spiders other than Peter B would never know was that he enjoyed observing and gossiping about who was dating and who wasn't at Spider Society knowing that it was absolutely not his business.
The two of you thought yourselves to be cupids and would talk about what couple desperately needed to break up or who should be dating whom.
"Cariño I have a question..." Miguel started interrupting you laughing at his joke about who he thought Hobie should date.
"Yeah? What is it?" you asked in a more serious tone.
"Why haven't you gotten your period yet?" he asked.
Shit. Shit shit shit shit. You cursed to yourself trying to think of an answer.
"Well my period tracking app told me that it's because of my increased amount of weight training recently, it happened to me when I was 14 as well I lost my period for like half a year then," you explained.
"Huh, you never told me you've been going to the gym, you usually just run in the mornings," he said, accepting your answer. It almost hurt lying to him about this because he had so much trust in you that he believed everything you said.
"My practice closes at five now, remember? So I have a lot more time," you said.
"Oh I see," he said as he took out ingredients to make dinner.
He didn't really talk about it for the rest of the night and everything went smoothly but as you lay in bed that night in his arms you couldn't help but worry. What if you're not able to keep this up and the gift is ruined? All should be fine though besides you only have to keep from him for the next 7 days.

i just wanna say i love your writing it's masterful
could you do a sleepy/cuddles Sodapop x fem!reader for my poor lonely soul please and thank you<3
“You work too much.”
Pairing: Sodapop Curtis x fem! Reader
Summary: To support yourself, you work multiple jobs. Your boyfriend starts to notice the toll this takes on you.
Warnings: Overworking, established relationship
A/N: Thank you so much for your kind words!! I’m so sorry this took me fucking forever, it got lost in my drafts but I found it!! I will never take this long
The phone rang as you hid away from the loud noise of the diner, tucked away in the corner. You had just worked a triple shift to be able to afford your rent this month, which you stupidly had put off for the last week.
“Hello?” A voice came through the line. Presumably Darry.
“Hey Darry, it’s Y/n. Is Soda there?” You said, being polite.
“Yeah I’ll get ‘im for you.” There was a pause. You twirled the cord around your finger, beginning to become anxious.
“Hey, Y/n. Everything okay?” Sodas voice said, softly.
“Yeah, I’m just tired and had a long day. Do you think you could pick me up? If not I totally get it-“
“Hey, it’s fine. I’ll be there in like 7 minutes.” He interrupted your nervous rant.
You let out a sigh of relief.
“Okay. Thank you so much.” You responded.
“Anything for my girl.” He said. You could picture his smile in your head.
“I love you, Soda.” You said, grateful for his presence in your life.
“Love you too, sweets.”
You put the phone back on the holder, and went to wait outside. It was a cold winter night, one you wished you could’ve enjoyed at home.
You left your home about 2 years ago when they weren’t supportive of you going to school. You had grew up in a strict household that unfortunately believed that women were worth less than men. Your family never took school seriously, and wanted to pull you out once you were 14. They believed that at that age, you were expected to start helping around the house, and start looking for a man to marry. But, over the years you really enjoyed school and wanted to pursue a life in academia. When you told your parents this, they kicked you out.
You moved a few towns over to Tulsa. You originally lived at Bucks, where you met Dallas. He wasn’t the nicest to you, but he eventually warmed up to you and even introduced you to the gang, where you met Soda. These boys seemed to understand your struggle of living alone and going to school. You finally felt like you had a group of people to support you, which you had never experienced before.
Suddenly you saw an old beat up car pull up, and a honk broke the sound of the crickets at night.
You hopped in the front seat, looking over to your boyfriend, who held a worried look.
“Hey sweets.” He said, grabbing your hand and kissing it.
“Hi.” You said, barely having enough energy to talk.
Sodapop took the message, and started to drive home. A comfortable silence wafted over to two of you as he drove back to his place. There was an unsaid agreement that you would be staying with him tonight.
On the way home, you fell asleep, lulled by the soft music playing and sodas humming.
Once you got to Sodas house, he woke you up, by picking you up bridal style and carrying you in.
Soda stepped in the doorway, to be greeted by Darry and Pony.
Darry looked up, “Hey, is she okay?” He questioned, worried for his brothers girlfriend. He really had grown attached to you, and was worried about you. He knew what it was like to have to work multiple jobs and take care of others.
Soda responded, “Yeah, she just needs to rest. Can she stay over tonight?”
“Of course, she can stay here whenever.” Darry responded, seeing you stir and start to wake up.
You woke up, at adjusted your eyes to peer upon Sodas chin, turned towards Darry.
“Hey, Thanks for letting me stay Dar.” You sleepily smiled, a blush on your cheeks from having Darry see Sodapop carrying you in.
“It’s always fine honey, you know that.” He walked back into the kitchen, leaving you and Soda alone.
He silently walked to his room, sitting you on his bed. He kneeled down onto one knee, taking your shoes off carefully. He stood back up, cupping your chin in his hand, and kissing your forehead.
“Do you want to change into something more comfortable?” He asked, making sure you were okay with it.
“Yeah.” You simply replied, causing him to get up and open his drawers, picking out a clean shirt for you to wear to bed.
He handed you the clothing, and you went to the bathroom to change.
“Jesus christ I’m tired.” you exclaimed, looking at your reflection in the mirror; noticing the dark circles acting as a shadow on your face.
You quickly changed, walking back to Sodas room. You were excited to finally get some rest. Tomorrow you weren't working, and school was out for the day. Finally a day to just relax.
As soon as you walked in, Soda took you into an embrace. You quickly melted in his arms, finally feeling like you could let go.
“Do you wanna go to bed?” He whispered.
You nodded into his chest, feeling him pick you up and place you on his bed. You got underneath the covers feeling at peace. You felt the bed dip beside you, and felt Sodas two arms pull you in, letting your head rest on his chest.
You didn’t really feel like talking, so you just held him tighter and kissed his exposed collarbone; a sign of your gratification. He dipped his head down, pulling you head up by his hand on your chin and kissed your lips softly, but filled with love.
“You work too much.” He whispered against you lips, kissing them quickly once again, “Maybe you should just live with us. You wouldn’t have to worry about rent and could focus on school.”
You looked up at him, ready to argue against his kindness, but decided against it. You were lucky you had this kind of support system.
“Thank you.” You whispered, kissing his jawline quickly, settling your head into his neck.
“I love you sweets.” He said as he rested his head back into the pillows.
“I love you too.” You responded back, in an instant.
You smiled, and rested your head against his chest again. He was so warm. Perfect for this cold winter night, and although you weren’t able to spend the whole night with him, you were forever grateful for these small moments before the both of you drift into sleep.

So till now we got these match-ups:
Isagi Vs Rin
Kunigami Vs Shidou
Hiori Vs Charles
Possible match-ups:
Ness Vs Zantetsu
Raichi Vs Tokimitsu
Kiyora Vs Karasu
The free players we have in the field are:
Michael Kaiser
Nanase Nijiro
I'm proud of my boy, Nanase, but saying Kaiser Vs Nanase is a bit.. farfetched. I could say Kaiser Vs Loki once the latter is subbed in, but it doesn't make sense because of two reasons:
Loki isn't a player in PxG. He is the coach and till now, we have only seen Coach Vs Coach. Further his statement about surpassing Noa gives us a hint of Noa Vs Loki happening.
Loki will only be in the field for three minutes.
It'll be an interesting thing to see since there are four more benched players (of Blue Lock):
Kurona Ranze
Igarashi Gurimu
Neru Teppei
Yukimiya Kenyu
Kurona's sub in is low-key necessary since his ranking dropped from 12 to 16 and the same could be said for Yukimiya because he went from 9 to 14.
IGA-DA-GOAT-GURI and Neru literally have zero bids, and considering Noa's behaviour when Kiyora's sub in got halted because of Isagi, I do think Noa will sub in these two to give them some kind of exposure, so that they, at least, have a club where they could go—I think a really funky type of man will find Igaguri really humourous and hence, will invite him in his club.
Now, the two main stuffs I wanted to rant about are:
Hiori Vs Charles
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Taking in account of Hiori's gameplay ever since he was introduced, many in the Fandom had correctly predicted about Charles Vs Hiori.
The main takeaway from this matchup is that alongside Reo, I think Hiori might play as one of the main midfielder in U-20 World Cup. He has already been called as someone with an ego alike that of Sae's, so Hiori Vs Sae or Hiori + Sae gameplay might happen in the future.
I also think that no matter what's the result of BM Vs PxG is, Charles will, probably, acknowledge Hiori as his main rival or something and form a rivalry. Charles will also level up a lot because of Hiori and vice versa.
It'll be an interesting thing to see the possible reaction of Hiori's parents when he'll return back home—I hope he traumatises back his parents or maybe his parents will change for good and support Hiori for real this time since aiming to become the best midfielder is an amazing thing too.
Kiyora Vs Karasu
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This matchup isn't yet confirm (as of 25 March, 2024), I just think it's plausible because of recent chapters' panels, but if it came to be true, then it can give us a lot of information about Kiyora's gameplay.
One interesting thing to note is that Karasu's gameplay includes putting pressure on his opponents and breaking them while guess what Kiyora dislikes? Yes, atrophy, which can be interpreted as something breaking. One more thing that is noteworthy is that Karasu was provoking Isagi during the tryouts in the third selection and guess what Kiyora likes? Yes, someone provoking him.
Karasu is a very witty person and physically comparing them, Kiyora stands no chance, so it can only be a battle of wits and if Kiyora wants to truly defeat him, then he needs to pull up some smartass moves to deceive him.
Honestly, comparing some of their traits, these two seem like a really good matchup to eachother.
.
.
.
Kiyora and Rin lookalike (volume cover), so what if they are cousins or something? That'll be interesting.

The human who didn’t know Pt. 2
Pairing: Normie male reader x Enid Sinclair and Wednesday Addams
Chapter 2: Trip and New friends
I apologize for taking so long on getting the second part on here link to the first part is right below this so read that before this or don’t (I recommend you do) also any poll on the author notes can be disregarded as the story is already on chapter 14 so until I catch up on here they can be disregarded anyways enough ranting please enjoy
Y/n pov
"So what exactly did you mean when you said I'd be someone worth following behind? I asked Blake as he lead me through a patio area
"Exactly that, you see my pack has its own rules and traditions we follow. When we meet someone we deem strong wether it be by there character or, by their strength we follow them. As those people are usually the best leaders." He stated in a matter-of-factly tone.
"So I'm your leader now? And what's with this pack your talking about." I asked incredulously 
"Yes. My wolf pack when as I'm a werewolf or could you not tell? Either way when we turn 16 we are allowed to start or join our own packs. All you need to do is acknowledge me and we'll even get a mental link." He said with some underlying excitement in his usual monotone voice.
"What the hell am I even supposed to respond." I thought as we walked in silence for a couple of minutes to our dorm room.
Bland and boring is how I would describe the room, it was made of some sort of dark wood, the room layout itself was basic just two full size beds, two dressers and, two desks. One of each on either side of the room. On the back door there was a door that opened up to a bathroom. The front wall that you saw when entering the room was taken up by a big circular window that opened up to a balcony.
Stepping outside and onto the balcony looking out I saw that it overlooked the patio area we had walked through to get to our dorm hall. Nodding in approval.
"Hey I'm going to look around campus alright. Maybe see if I get to know some of our neighbors." I told Blake as I walked back into our room from the balcony and made my way to the door.
"Ok, just be back in an hour, as Ms.Weems is taking us along with Richard and Tommy to get stuff for our rooms." He told me
I nodded having forgotten of the other two as I exited the room, I noticed the door across from ours was open and there was music playing. I made my way across and knocked on the open door.
A 6' 2" Caucasian boy with brown hair walks towards the door.
"Can I help you?" He asks
"Ah sorry to bother you, I just wanted to introduce myself since it seems that well be neighbors."
"Oh I'm Xavier Thorpe, and you are?"
He said with a smile as  extended his hand
"I'm Y/n nice to meet you Xavier. I responded and shook his hand
"So what are you?" He asks curiously
"What do you mean?" I asked confusion probably written all over my face.
"Yeah like what type of outcast are you? What else could I mean?"  He said with a chuckle
"Oh well I guess a nerd." I said while smiling
Xavier's expression then went from a smile, to confused
"No your not understanding what I'm asking you. Like what are you? A werewolf? A siren? A vampire? A gorgon? A psychic? Or one something else?" He said
"Just a normal human just like everyone else is. " I told him annoyed
He stared at me then suddenly burst into laughter "Oh man you almost got me, no way a normie could make it into nevermore. What are you seriously?" He asked again while still laughing.
"I already told you I'm a regular human." I told him annoyed that he was laughing
He then looked up and saw that I was serious "You're actually just a normie?!" He shouted in surprise
"What the hell is a normie?" I asked
"It's a person that's just a human and not an "outcast" you know like the people this school is made for." He said now getting irritated
"Yeah outcasts like people who were bullied for being different" I responded irritated by the conversation that seemed to circle around.
"No not that type of outcasts you moron, did you even look up this school or it's history? Never mind it  doesn't matter this school is for "outcasts" such as werewolves, vampires, psychics, etc."  he said
"Well no I didn't read it I just saw outcasts and assumed it meant kids who got bullied for being different or quirky. Either way those things aren't real your just delusional." I replied quickly
"Me delusional, come on then I'll show you." He said confidently
"Alright then." I said not believing him at all.
We walked into his room. The set up was like ours, each side of the room was decorated differently. Xavier made his way to his desk, sat down and drew a spider.
"Oh man you showed me man." I said trying to hold in my laugh
"Oh shut up, and give me a second." He said focused on his drawing, his hand hovering over it, a couple seconds later it moved,and started crawling around his desk.
"Oh shit! What then hell! How'd you do that?!" I asked surprised making my way closer to his desk to get a better view.
"Ah shit man, sorry for doubting you. That's dope as hell though man." I apologized while staring at the spider
He then snapped and the spider dissolved into dust. "What your not going to freak out and insult me like others do? He asked shocked not looking at me
"Bro let's be realistic even if I wanted to do that, it would be stupid to. Since I don't know the extent of your powers for all I know you can make that shit venomous and kill me in my sleep. Plus that was dope as fuck I wish I had powers." I said awestruck as to what I just witnessed.
"Wait if he has powers does this mean that Blake was telling the truth, and was being serious. Awe shit." I thought
"Wait so your serious about being a normie?"
"Uh yeah, no powers from me. I'm able to attend since I won the scholarship. I also didn't bother reading the website as I thought it meant like Emos, goths, otakus and those types of outcasts." I said
Then I heard it laughter first soft then booming, Xavier turned to face me and he was laughing. "Oh man your a total riot, what type of dumbass applies for a school without reading its history. I can tell we'll become great friends." He said as he wiped away a tear
"Alright man I'll leave you to it I'm going to go and explore the campus and see if i can make any more friends." I said as I waved at him and left his dorm
"Alright man, I'll introduce you to my roommate whenever he gets back from town. Before I forget careful of who you go telling your a human most here have bad experiences with them and would probably put you on some sort of kill list. " said Xavier seriously
"Thanks for the heads up man, but it'll probably be announced when Ms.Weems announces the winner of the scholarship. " I said
"Well if she does I've got your back." He said seriously
"Well thank you." I said as a smile painted itself on my face
As I made my way down the hallway to the staircase, and then subsequently down the stairs into the lobby of the residence hall. Which seemed like the lobby of some high end hotel only without a receptionist. I looked around looking at the furniture. There was 2 sofas and 4 arm chairs which all seemed comfortable enough to sleep in. Along with 2 round tall tables with 2 chairs each meant to be used for studying as there were wall outlets easily accessible. At one of those tables there was a tan short male with black hair and square framed glasses. He seemed to be watching a video of some sort. So I made my way over to him.
"Hey sorry to bother you mind if I take a seat?" I asked
"Huh, you asking me?" He asked seemingly confused with a stranger coming up to him
"Yeah." I responded "my name is Y/n L/n by the way." Stretching my hand out for a handshake
"Ah sorry I'm not used to being approached, but I'm Eugene Ottinger." He said while taking my hand to shake it seeming to have relaxed a bit
"Nice to meet you Eugene, would it be fine if I take a seat?" I asked
"Likewise. Yes please be my guest." He responded quickly "if you don't mind me asking what are your thoughts on bees?" He asked enthusiastically
"Well I like the honey they make, I have also wanted to try honeycomb but I've never had the chance too. Other than that I don't have any real opinion on them. Why do you ask?"  I replied 
"Oh I just love bees, I actually want to see if I'll be allowed to make a beekeeping club." He told me passionately
"Oh that sounds cool if you do I'll be your first member if you wouldn't mind having me. So if you don't mind me asking,why you're so passionate about bees?"  I asked him
"Really that would be great Y/n. Well you see I've never really ever fit in anywhere, or had friends. Well bees have always been there for me ,it's as if they can understand me and they're very good at keeping secrets." He said a bit downcast
"I'd assume they are good at keeping secrets. Well you won't have to worry about not having friends as you've already made your first." I said smiling
"Really we're friends?" Eugene asked surprised
"Of course, why else would I have approached you." I asked chuckling
A phone started to ring  "It was nice meeting you Y/n but my mother is calling me. I'll see you around." Eugene said as he got up from his spot at the table.
"Well see you around" I replied
"Ok so I've made 2 new friend not bad Y/n not bad at all, I still got 20 minutes to go and explore might as well" I thought to myself
Getting up from my spot in the table, and walking towards the entrance doors. I push one open and make my way outside. Taking a nice deep breath of fresh air and look around taking in the surroundings. There seems to be groups of people around this patio area.
"Yeah two friends is more than enough for today." I thought, as I needed an excuse as to why I shouldn't approach any of the groups. 
Looking around I see an open table, as I make my way over to it I observe each group. There seems to be 4 main groups, can't really tell what they are maybe Blake or Xavier can tell me later. When I eventually make it up to the table I take a seat and put my head down the weather is perfect for an afternoon nap. As I'm starting to doze off a excited voice greets me.
"Hi there, I'm Enid Sinclair." Said a blonde girl with blue and pink highlights with an infectious smile
"Huh, oh nice to meet you, Enid I'm Y/n." I said trying to purge the drowsiness from almost falling asleep.
"Oh I'm sorry did I wake you? She said looking concerned
"Ah no it's fine it's probably better that I don't fall asleep I have something to do in like 15ish minutes. So I should be thanking you." I said trying to reassure her
"Oh that's good, mind if I take a seat?" She asked
"Oh you're fine." I responded
"What happened for you to get that scar?" Enid asked looking at the scar on my left eye curiously
"A bit direct aren't you?" I laughed
"Oh I'm sorry if it's a sensitive topic. I was just curious." She said panic evident in her voice
"Don't worry bout it, I actually got this somewhat recently,. I was in a fight and he got me good but I got him back." I told her
"Woah, why were you fighting him? She asked leaning in closer
"Well we were fighting in the tournament for the scholarship." I answered
"Oh right that's a thing. So what are you? I'm a werewolf" She asked changing the subject abruptly
"I'd rather keep it a secret. Sorry." I told her looking away as to not make eye contact
"Don't worry." She responded happily "Do you have an Instagram? I could get so we can stay in contact? She asked eagerly
"Yeah let me just type it in." I said as I grabbed the phone she was handing to me
"Well I have to go." she said as she got up "I'm going to go get lunch, unless you want to come with me" she smiled
"I would love to but unfortunately I have to go with my roommate, to see Ms.Weems." I stated
"Oh that sucks" her smile faltering for a second "Maybe tomorrow then?" She asked
"Yeah why not, I shouldn't have anything planned." I said
She nodded as she got up from the table we were sitting at, and walked away.
"My goodness my eyes have been blessed with this beautiful woman." I thought as I watched her walk away.
Getting up from the table, I stared to walk about towards the residence hall, as I still had 5 minutes left before I needed to be there but I think I've had enough exploring for one day. As I made my way upstairs and into my room I saw Blake laying down on his bed with his headphones on.
"You're back earlier then I expected you to be, in all honesty, I thought I was going to have to hunt you down." Said Blake with a smile.
"Oh ha ha." I said as I took a seat on my bed
"We should make our way to Ms.Weems office, no?" I asked Blake
He nodded and got up
"Let's go then" he said
Background conversations was all that was heard as we walked towards Ms.Weems office, as we walked in silence. We approached a door that had a name plate on it which stated principal's office. Blake then knocked behind the door we heard a muffled voice that told us to enter. After entering Tommy and Richard where there sitting while on there phones. Richard was the first to look up, his face immediately turned from bored to a wide smile.
"Y/n how are you man, it's as if you disappeared on us after the tournament" Richard said excited to see me
"It because he was in a coma remember idiot Ms.Weems even told us." Tommy told him without skipping a beat or looking up from his phone.
"Oh right." Richard said sheepishly
During our interaction I could see Ms.Weems was staring at us smiling happily at the bond we seemed to have made after knowing each other.
"Ok, we'll be headed down to Jericho so you guys can get decor for your rooms, please remember that you are representing Nevermore so do try no to get into fights." She said looking towards our group seriously.
Opening the top drawer of her desk she pulled out four envelopes all numbered one through four in Roman numerals
"These contain the prize money for each of you." She said as she handed them to each of us Blake receiving the one numbered 1, Tommy the one numbered two, Richard the third and me the fourth and final one.
"You guys can get whatever you may need or want. Just know towels, and other basic toiletries will be supplied for your as your dorms are the only ones with private bathrooms." Ms.Weems told us
"Will you accompany us ? Or will you just be dropping us off?" I asked
"I had planned on accompanying you, but I have a faculty meeting so I will have to drop you guys off and then when you feel your done you can just call me." She said as she got up from her desk and made her way to the door  "Let us go before it gets any later"
As we followed her to the van, I could see that the other students were staring at us as we walked through the patio area. We got into the car after walking for 5 minutes and Ms.Weems started to drive towards town. After 30 minutes of driving I saw a sign that read welcome to Jericho.
"Remember guys do not cause any trouble." Ms.Weems said in a very serious tone
"Ok." we all said practically at the same time
She then stopped in front of a furniture store. We all thanked her for the ride as we got out of the car. The town had a very creepy feel to it, it looked like a old style town that would be in a "Friday the 13th" type of movie.
"Alright let's go get furniture." I said walking towards the stores entrance
"Oh do you actually need furniture?" Asked Richard
"Yeah, you don't?" I asked looking at him incredulously
"Nah our families just bought us the stuff and sent it to us like 2 weeks ago man." He said nonchalantly
"well all I'm getting is clothes, since I didn't even have my own room back home." I told him
"So your not like us?" He said confusion on his face
"What rich? No or why else would I have applied for a scholarship?" I asked looking at there faces to see if they were joking
"Well that, and you didn't join it just to fight? Everyone who joins that scholarship is usually just to fight not for like actual financial help." He said
"Obviously he didn't idiot, he didn't even know what "outcasts" were." Said Tommy as he pulled one of Richard's rabbit ears
"Alright I'm going in, to look for a lamp and see what else might be interesting." I said as I walked into the store
"We're right behind you." Said Blake
As we wondered the store looking around I could tell that the employees were watching us intently, as if we were criminals with a record of being thief's. Eventually finding a nice desk lamp that reminded me of the one that crushes the I in Pixar movies, and paying for it. As we were walking out Blake, Tommy and Richard were looking at a couch. Without even turning around Blake asked "Do you think it would fit in our dorm?"
"I don't think it fitting in the room would be the issue, but rather how would you get it up the stairs." I told him
"Me and Richard should be able to jump it up to the balcony" Tommy said matter-of-factly
"What is our room going to be the hangout spot?" I asked
"Obviously it's bigger than our room."  Said Tommy
"Then sure go for it we'll make it fit if it doesn't." I said chuckling
"Ok." Said Blake before walking to an employee to purchase it and have it delivered to the academy
"Thank you come again." Said an employee as we left
"Well we have an hour before Weems comes and gets us. Let's get tattoos?" Said Richard looking excited
"Of what carrot muncher." Said Tommy
"Hey I'll have you know that's offensive, demon spawn." Richard said quickly "Anyway we could get our Roman numerals tatted on us. Hell I'll even pay for them." He continued
We all looked at one another and silently agreed. So we made our way to the conveniently place tattoo parlor across the street, because I mean who doesn't want to go get a tattoo after buying some furniture. As we walked in the man who was sitting at the desk, immediately smiled when he saw Richard.
"So you were able to convince them eh Richard?" The man said with a smile
"Something like that." Richard replied
After discussing where we would get the numbers we each sat at a different tattoo artists table. As we all sat down and the artists started there prep work Blake turned towards me and asked if I had though about what he had told me earlier that day.
"Look man do as you please, if your happy following a "normie" do as you please. Just think it through I wouldn't want you to be ostracized. After all I'm weaker than you" I said seriously
His laughter boomed in the small shop "Oh man you worried about me. I doubt my family would care in all honesty. Being a leader doesn't mean bring the strongest it just means you'll do what needs to be done, when it to be done."
"Normie?!" Everyone besides me and Blake yelled surprised
"Yes. I'm just a normal human being who was dumb and didn't read anything about the school." I said while smiling
"Oh man your a crazy son of a bitch man." Said the owner of the shop as his employees nodded there heads in agreement
I just laughed, and shrugged, and the artists just smiled and started to tattoo us. Tommy got his number on his trapezius, Blake got it on the left side of his neck, Richard got it on his arm, and I settled to getting it on the back of my right hand.
"Man Y/n not bad you only cried for 3/4th of the tattoo." Laughed Richard
"Yeah we'll I'm just a human, with normal pain tolerance." I responded eyes red
"Did you cry when getting all those earrings you have? Tommy said laughing
"As if these were way less painful." I responded chuckling
After Richard payed the tattoos and we tipped the artists. We decided to go to a cafe for the last 20 minutes before Ms.Weems was set to pick us up. As we walked up to the cafe named Weathervane and a bell jingled as we entered it.
"Welcome in." said a dirty blonde teenager wearing a brown shirt and red apron behind the counter.
"Hi, can I get a black coffee" asked Blake turning his head to ask what we wanted
"I'll take an ice coffee" said Tommy
"Me too" added Richard
"I'll take some green tea please." I said
"Ok coming right up." the cashier replied
We decided to take a seat at a booth with Blake and Richard on the inside, while Tommy and I were on the ends. I got up to use the bathroom quickly. After getting back and waiting a bit longer the server came over with our drinks, we thanked him as he placed them on the table. As we were silently enjoying our drinks, a drunk adult approached our table.
"Hey everyone! Look at these freaks thinking they can come to our town and act as if they're one of us." said a man as he put his hand on Tommy's shoulder causing him to tense up and turn towards the man
“Hey would you mind moving your hand from my buddies shoulder.” I asked trying to not sound as scared as I felt
“Oh tough guy aye?” He said having moved his hand from Tommy’s shoulder to the table and leaned in closer
“Hey leave those guys along Mr.Rodgers.” Said the cashier
“Oh stay the hell out of this Galpin! You fucking brat!” The now identified Mr.Rodgers yelled
Motioning my head for us to get up and leave, getting small nods from the other three as we started to get up
“Hey no need for problems sir we were just leaving anyways.” I said as I got out of the booth allowing Blake to get up too
“Oh you don’t want problems yet you had no problems coming to our town? He said as he grabbed my shoulder seeming to have gotten angrier by my statement
“Ah shit how are we going to get out of this one?” I thought as I something Blake told me earlier came to mind please work “Blake can you hear me?” I thought hopefully
“So you were paying attention to what I told you earlier.” Blake responded mentally looking at me from the corner of his eye for a split second with a small smirk
“I don’t know if it’s possible for you to communicate with Tommy and Richard somehow, if so do it and get out there’s a second exit they can use straight back and to the right. I saw it when I went to the bathroom earlier.” I relayed to him mentally
“I’ll let them know, and link them in as they’ve been part of my pack since middle school.” He reported “I was able to link them successfully sir.” he said with the tone of a solider
“Can you all here me? If so bend your right index finger in order ascending.” I said as I glanced at each of them trying to not make it obvious to the drunken older man
I looked down to Blake’s hand first and saw his finger bend, then Tommy’s and finally Richard’s. A subtle smirk made its way onto my face as I sharply exhaled trying to not laugh out of joy
“Something funny you punk.” Said the man as he shoved me back
“Run now, your all faster than me go and find Ms.Weems, or actually give me 5 minutes if I’m not out by then go and find her otherwise wait across the street.” I told them through the link
“Will you be fine?” Asked Blake mentally
“Oh please who gave you that scar? So now go!”
In the blink of an eye Blake turned around and ran towards the front door, while Richard jump over a table and ran, and Tommy turned and ran out both making there way towards the back door as the man went to grab Tommy I spartan kicked him in his stomach causing him to stumble back and focus on me.
“You’ll be fighting me.” I said with newfound confidence
“Oh I’m going to enjoy killing you, fucking freak!” He shouted as he rushed towards me
Quickly grabbing the mug that held my tea earlier I swung it and it hit him on the face landing a solid hit causing the mug to shatter against the left side of his face. Causing him to stumble the right, which i immediately followed up with a kick to the face that missed since I slipped on some drops of the tea that spilt when the mug broke. Catching myself from falling, I was able to push him down as he was trying to stand back up as he hit his face against the tough wooden flooring of the cafe a sickening crunch was heard. The empty shop was silent besides the heavy breathing of Mr.Rodgers, getting on one knee, and raising his head by his hair.
“You damn monsters thinking your superior to us, normal humans!” He said as blood pored from his obviously broken nose hatred in his eyes
“Unfortunately for you I’m just a human, I dumb normal human who didn’t know.” I whispered to him with a smile
A laugh escaped my lips as his eyes widen in shock at my statement. Know that no matter who he told they’d doubt him
“Oh and if I ever hear you talk shit about one of my friend or classmates, I’ll make sure you regret it. So I hope this makes you change your views on the Nevermore students. Since we’re 10 times more monstrous ” I said looking down at him with a smirk
“Now I hope we can put this behind us, and start on the right foot. Don’t forget to apologize to Mr.Galpin here. Sorry bout the nose.” I said as I pat his back and he just nods
“How much for the mug I destroyed?” I ask the cashier
With a surprised look “uh $4 bucks should be fine.” He replied not to sure what to say
“Sounds good I say as I put a ten on the counter. Take the change as a tip and sorry bout the mess.” I said as I turned to leave checking the time on my phone
“Oh thank you, please come again; don’t worry about the mess” He said smiling
As I made it out with 30 seconds left I made my way across and nodded towards the three boys, and motioned my head as for them to cross the road and join me
“Let’s not keep Ms.Weems waiting boys” I said as they patted my back
“That shit was dope man!!” Said Richard as slapped my back
“Ah shit that hurt you asshole!” I said while shoving him with my shoulder
“What did you tell him?” Asked Tommy
“Just that I hoped he would treat Nevermore students with respect, and that I’m a “normie” and I hoped we could put this all behind us. Oh and apologized for the broken nose.” I said as that last thing caused them to stop mid step and look at each other as I continued walking
“Oh man your rugged, where’d you learn to fight like that man?” Asked Richard excitedly
“Oh I just used to play a lot of MMA on the xbox 360 with my brothers and well play enough and having brothers you just start mimicking what you see and do in game.” I said laughing at the memories of my brother and I playing and play fighting
As we walked they just looked at me as if I’d grown a second head
“I look fine right?” I asked them
They just nodded still shocked at my earlier statement of where I had learned to fight. Ms.Weems was in her car waiting for us. I waved at her as we approached her car and got in. I was up front and the other three made there way to the back.
“So how was the trip?” Ms.Weems asked smiling
“It was fun I got a lamp and Blake ended up getting a couch for the dorm. We got tattoos and went to get something warm at the Weathervane.” I said smiling
“Oh that’s nice…. WAIT TATTOOS?!” She yelled while looking at us shocked as we just smiled and showed her
“Oh are you going to want to left over money back? I think I have like $100 bucks left.” I asked disregarding her worries about the tattoos
“No you can keep it, it is yours after all, I will be needing an explanation on the tattoos, so don’t think you’ve gotten away with it.” She stated looking at me
“When will your furniture be delivered?” She asked
“Tomorrow.” Blake stated
We pulled up to the school, thanking Ms.Weems as we exited the car and made our way to the dining hall to get some food. As we walked I noticed that Blake was to my right, Tommy to my left and Richard directly behind me, almost as if they were knights protecting a king. Causing me to smile, and make our way to the serving area and got our food I decided on some ground beef tacos with tomato, lettuce, cilantro,onion, salsa and sour cream. The others got more basic foods like two slices of cheese pizza for Richard, two chicken sandwiches for Blake and a grilled chicken salad for Tommy. As we all sat down and started to eat, I noticed Enid walking by and looking towards me so I wave at her and she does the same. At the same time I see Eugene walking with his food towards the exit.
“Eugene come and eat with us man!” I shout across the hall
He turns and walks towards us and sits down.
“This is Eugene guys, Eugene the guy with the werewolf ears is Blake my roommate, Richard is the one with the rabbit ears and Tommy is the one with the horns.” I said introducing them to one another
As the meal progressed Eugene started to open up more and more getting more comfortable as time passed. Talking more about himself and bees as we just listened and asked questions and joked around with one another. After an hour and a half of eating and conversation we decided to make our way to our dorms. As me and Blake enter our room we fall onto our beds exhausted from todays events. Then we realized we didn’t lock the door so we had to play paper, rock, scissors to see who would get up and I lost. Getting into my bed I fell asleep as soon as my head touched my pillow.

hi I made this for you as an excuse to ask you for jayus lore
Tumblr media Tumblr media
hand it over I want a cringe OC rant 🙏
#art
Oh. My. GOSHHHH HOLY SHIT THANK YOU SO MUCHHHH I LOVE ITTT 😭💚💚💚
And YESSS ILL GLADLY RANT ABOUT THEM AHDJAHFHDJAJRBFNDBB
This is the most recent version of their story. And warning. Its uh. Long. Like REEEEEAAAALLLYYYYY LONG i apologize ohmg xc
Their lore is below the cut !!
Jayus lived with their mom Isabella, their dad Marcus, their twin brother Janus, and their older sister Mindy.
They lived in a small house in the woods for most of their childhood. Their family didn’t have enough money to afford a bigger one. Marcus worked 2 jobs & almost never home, and even with the financial help of Isabella’s mother they still had trouble with paying bills. Though they didn’t have much, Jayus and their siblings didn’t pay much attention to that fact as kids. The three were very close and had a very strong bond in their early years. Their parents, however, were a bit of a different story.
Marcus and Isabella fought. Constantly. When Jayus was about three it began. The fighting started off small at first, but gradually over time it grew worse and worse. It escalated to the point where almost every day there was an argument. When this would happen, Jayus and their siblings would go out to play in the woods instead.
Though their parents fought so much, both of them did care for their children in their own way. Marcus was often too frustrated and tired after work to interact much but he tried his best to be there when he could. While Isabella was home all the time, she was constantly stressed over the family’s situation and was often very irritable. She was easy to snap and argue with her children, barely able to contain her stress. She felt guilty for it, she really did. Isabella hated how angry she was all the time and could barely handle all of these emotions.
As the years passed, the constant anger and hostility in Jayus’s family began to affect them more and more. They were getting irritable themself. Never comfortable inside their own home, resentful of their mother and father, Jayus wasn’t handling it well. They were beginning to have outbursts of their own.
Neither were their brother and sister.
When Jayus was 14, Mindy moved away to college. She had scraped together as much money as she could, worked tirelessly every day, and finally had made enough to afford college. She moved as soon as she could, desperate to get away from this home situation.
Janus on the other hand, occupied himself with various after school activities. Tutoring, sports, clubs- you name it. When he wasn’t doing any of those, Janus was out with his friends. He tried bringing Jayus sometimes- but the group just didn’t get along, and after it ended in a fistfight once Janus stopped inviting his sibling.
Jayus was not handling this at all as well as their siblings had.
Their sister left them. Their brother was ignoring them (in Jayus’s eyes). Their parents were arguing more and more and looking after Jayus less and less. They felt helpless.
Helplessness turned to frustration, and frustration turned to an intense bottled up rage. Jayus began to isolate away from others, and kept bottling everything up. They didn’t want to become like their parents, screaming and fighting at the slightest provocation. Jayus wanted to be better than that.
But bottling up their emotions didn’t work out (obviously). Their anger kept getting worse and worse, until one particularly bad day they exploded.
It was after a horrible day at school Jayus came home. Marcus had just gotten off work and was back home for a few minutes before heading to his second job. Him and Isabella were having a particularly bad fight, worse than usual. Jayus went to the woods to escape, and ended up tripping and hurting their ankle.
Finally when they’d found peace and quiet, a stray cat had wandered into the area. Jayus reached out to pet it, not thinking straight and got scratched. And was sent into a rage.
The pent up emotions they’d been hiding for years exploded, and before Jayus was even aware of what they were doing the cat was dead on the ground, ripped apart.
It scared them, what they’d done, their scratches stinging with pain and hot blood mixed with fur splattered on their hands and jacket. But in a way, it also felt.. relieving.
It felt good to finally get their anger out. It felt amazing. For the first time in years, Jayus felt calm.
And from that point on was when Jayus realized they had a new coping strategy.
For the next year Jayus would continue to mutilate and kill animals out in the woods whenever they felt particularly upset. They got creative too- using different weapons to tear the poor animals apart. Fire was the strategy Jayus liked the most.
Eventually it became less of a “coping strategy” and became more of a sick fascination with death, and the act of killing. Jayus felt so helpless for so long- it felt amazing to be in control of something else so strongly that they had control over life and death itself.
Their mother noticed something was up first.
Jayus was careless; they’d leave the corpses of these animals strewn throughout the forest. And Isabella began to notice this when she went out into the woods herself- birds, squirrels, rabbits, and more horrifically mutilated all over the forest.
It scared her; Isabella could tell this was done by a human. And she didn’t want her children getting hurt. So she banned Jayus and Janus from going out into the woods, hoping to protect them from whoever this was.
It only made Jayus more angry. They already resented their mother, and now that she’d taken away the one thing they had to deal with their problems? Jayus practically wanted her dead.
Janus on the other hand finally noticed that something was up with his sibling. He felt guilty, realizing how he’d basically left them behind to deal with their struggles on their own. It was a mistake and he knew this.
He tried to reconnect with Jayus, starting off by apologizing for his actions. Jayus was skeptical at first, but hesitantly accepted his apology. The two slowly grew closer, but Janus soon learned that this was NOT the same Jayus he used to know.
They were much more harsh. Cared less for how he felt, and didn’t pay much attention to his feelings. Very sarcastic and snappy, in both good and bad ways. And while Janus didn’t think his sibling cared much for him, but that wasn’t true.
Jayus finally had their best friend back, and while they were much more different in expressing it they did truly care for him.
But things couldn’t be happy for much longer.
Jayus was still an angry, violent mess. And one day when they were 15, they found the perfect opportunity.
Their whole family was out of the house; it was just them alone. Jayus had found a rabbit outside in their backyard, and stabbed it, immobilizing the poor creature. They went inside and stole some matches, and made the monumental, stupid mistake of lighting one inside.
As they walked towards the door Jayus tripped on something laying on the floor, and fell to the ground, dropping the match.
It landed on the dry, old carpet. And immediately the carpet went up in flames.
Jayus’s arm had gotten in the flames, and to their horror was set aflame as well.
They screamed and tried to put it out, but weren’t successful until after it had spread up their arm, to half their chest and face. Finally they managed to put it out, coughing and wheezing from the smoke as the fire spread throughout the house. They stumbled out of the building and collapsed onto the grass outside. It was raining.
As the small droplets hit their skin, sizzling painfully on their wounds, Jayus passed out.
The family was completely fucked now. Their house had burnt down, Jayus was severely injured and needed immediate medical attention they couldn’t afford- everything had fallen apart. And Isabella had had enough.
She took Jayus and Janus and left Marcus almost immediately after. She took Jayus to the hospital, and their generous grandmother helped to pay the bills thankfully.
But Jayus was forever different. Half their face had been disfigured beyond recognition, same as almost half their body. It was a horrific sight, really.
Isabella brought Jayus and Janus to live with their grandmother in her apartment. She knew they’d have a more stable life there while she tried to find a job to get back on their feet.
Jayus’s grandmother was a wonderful woman. She looked after them much better than their own parents ever had been able to, and treated Jayus with kindness and compassion. They instantly grew attached.
It wasn’t long before Janus and Jayus could go back to school.
From here, things started to get better. Their home situation was much more stable. Isabella had found a job and was slowly getting better. Jayus’s birthday came, and they turned 16.
Jayus became pretty popular at school alongside their brother. They had plenty of friends and acquaintances, good grades and such.
Yet, despite how good everything was going, something seemed.. off, about Jayus.
It was unclear to most people just what it was. But they just had this odd disturbing aura to them, and it wasn’t from their appearance.
Most people figured it was nothing, or just avoided them. But they really, really shouldn’t have.
And at this time, a string of murders had begun to pop up in the area.
Jayus had already gotten a taste of the thrill of the hunt, and now that they no longer had access to small woodland creatures, they figured people would suffice. It would be much more difficult to cover up than animals, but they were willing to take the risk. Jayus loved a good challenge.
Their life was going well now. The only thing causing them problems that actually bothered them was a new teacher at their school. He’d just moved into town, along with his daughter Serena, and Jayus hated him. He was a rude man, and would go out of his way to make life difficult for Jayus.
They put up with it, but was getting real frustrated with the treatment.
Finally, Jayus had enough. They trailed him after school one night and dragged him into an alleyway, where they murdered him.
They thought they’d been alone. But then, they heard a gasp. A gasp that belonged to Serena, the daughter of the teacher herself.
She didn’t see who Jayus was. It was too dark. And Jayus was able to escape from the scene.
But Jayus was paranoid. They knew that with Serena there it had messed up their whole plan. They were gonna get caught, one way or another. The idea terrified them. And they had to act quickly.
Jayus began to formulate a new plan.
School had been cancelled while the police investigated the murder. And during this time Jayus had plenty of time to prepare to kill Serena.
They snuck into Serena’s apartment one night, silently creeping over to her room. Equipped with a knife.
They lifted the weapon, about to stab her sleeping form- when Jayus’s phone started ringing.
Serena woke up and saw them. She screamed in terror and immediately shoved them away, but Jayus was strong, and fought back easily.
Serena grabbed the first thing they could reach on their nightstand: a fork on a plate, left there from a snack she’d eaten before bed.
She swung wildly at Jayus, and managed to make a hit at their face.
Jayus erupted in a cry of pain as the fork connected with their left eye, and Serena stared in horror. She yanked it back in a panic, pulling out their eye.
By this point her mother had woken up and ran to the room to see what was going on. She ran over to help Serena, but before she could do anything Jayus threw their knife at her. It embedded into her abdomen and the mother collapsed.
Jayus bolted out the door running out of the apartment as fast as they could, covering their newly emptied eye socket as blood poured from the would. Police had been called by one of the neighbors, and Jayus barely managed to escape. They ran and ran and ran, not stopping until they were deep within the old woods they used to live in.
From this point on, Jayus was on the run. They continued moving from place to place until eventually leaving their state. Finding residence in a thick forest in South Dakota, Jayus settled down finally.
They found a small abandoned home within the forest, and lived there.
As the years progressed, Jayus made a life for themself. They befriended two other killers, named 017 and Executioner. Fell in love with a man named JJ when they were 22 and got together with him.
They lived to be 46 years old. Jayus died to an earthquake while walking next to a cliff, the harsh tremors causing parts of the cliff to collapse into boulders and rocks, which fell on top of them and crushed them.
And that’s Jayus’s story !!
PLEASEEE THIS WAS SO LONG IM SO SORRY 😭😭😭 LIKE OH. MY. GOD. I DID NOT EXPECT IT TO BE THIS LONG.
I worked really hard on Jayus for a long time they mean so much to me dawg.. like.. omg.
Soo yeah :3
Thats ab it !! Thank you sm for the fanart and the ask about the lore, it really does mean a lot i got so excited <3

(823 words) Written part below ⇂

Okay, so maybe skipping class wasn’t the smartest solution from the bunch. But it’s not like you’re good with immediate confrontation either. How could you meet the man after that incident? As silly as it is, it shook something in you and prodded at uncharted territory you swore you’d never pursue. 
Thinking had got cut short when someone knocked at your door, and you lazily stand to open it. 
“Tinamad nakong maglakad,” Scaramouche stepped in without a care, tossing his shoes elsewhere as he went straight to plop on your couch.  
“Putangina, may tsinelas dito! Suotin mo, tanga,” tossing it towards his feet, he whines before begrudgingly putting it on.  
“You order me around like a mother.” 
“Pakyu ka rin.” 
Kaveh arrived a few minutes after, with a tired Xiao getting dragged along while grasping on a bag of snacks for dear life. It was endearing, even if the teal boy didn’t want to be there so early since he wasn’t supposed to be out till the afternoon for his own classes. The botanist was the last to make himself at home with practiced ease, bringing over a small potted plant as a gift, as always. 
It wasn’t common for any you to not attend university, so your friends had made a rule about hanging out if any of you decided to do so—everyone drops whatever they’re doing for it, important or not. ‘To make up for lost times’ is the reasoning for the pact to have been made, even though the five of you were practically glued to the hip, so it's rather an excuse to hang out. But it works either way.  
“Nagugutom na’ko,” Tighnari complains as he sat on the floor of your living room next to Kaveh after placing the plant on your coffee table. “I haven’t eaten breakfast yet. Ano dala mo, Xiao?” 
“... Chips,” Xiao sighs, placing the bag full of snacks on the table, next to the plant. “Si Kaveh kasi, he was rushing me. I just tossed in whatever edible thing I could find in my pantry.” 
The offended expression that dawned on the blond’s face was priceless, it made everyone crack into laughter, subtle or not. And Scaramouche was certainly not. He was wheezing like a hyena. 
“Tinatawanan mo dyan, Kuni,” Kaveh hissed, offering the ravenette the middle finger, which was gladly reciprocated. 
“Wala. Ayoko sa bading.” 
That made you roll your eyes in clear amusement, more than entertained to watch Kaveh and Scaramouche bicker. But what’s more entertaining if not joining in? “Sabi sa bading rin.” 
“Di ako bading!” denied Scaramouche, which got him doubtful looks from everyone in the room. 
“Kagabi you were calling me, crying that you miss your boyfriend kasi nag ‘break’ na naman kayo,” Xiao speaks up, exposing Scaramouche without a care, earning him a harmless glare. 
Tighnari chuckles and decides to pipe in, much to the ravenette’s dismay, “Didn’t you ask me what flower language is and which flowers you can use in a bouquet to apologize to him? Simp much.” 
“Oh, so this is a personal attack now? Fuck all of you.” 
Your day would feel this fulfilled if it weren’t for your friends, even if it’s still morning, then it’s a morning well-spent. You almost had forgotten about the incident with Heizou, though that is a worry you’ll spend time wasting on later—bros before hoes, they say! Not that Heizou is your hoe... at least you think he isn’t. 
── ⋆⋅⑅⋅⋆ ── 
“Tas sinusungitan pa’ko ni Hayi kasi gusto pa niya umiyak ako! Anong kink ba yan ante, ganda ko raw umiyak ih,” Kaveh was ranting his ass off once your group changed places, happily chatting within the comfort of your room as he tossed and turned on the bed. 
“What are you, a worm? Stay still,” Xiao groans, having been hit on the shoulder by the blond for the nth time by now. “Kati kati amputa. Dun ka nga kay Nari, inaabuso mo na ako.” 
Tighnari raised his hands in the air, shaking his head profusely as he sat on the opposite edge of your bed with a stack of notebooks beside him, a textbook open in front of his crossed legs and a pen in hand. “Wag, masira ung pagnonotes ko, gago.” 
You and Scaramouche were snickering in the sidelines, cuddling like children while a horror movie goes on in the screen of your laptop. The sound was horrifyingly gruesome Tighnari had to put on earmuffs while studying, while Xiao couldn’t hear shit when Kaveh was practically yapping right beside his ear like a mosquito. 
Moments like these you couldn’t help but cherish, even though each one of you were doing something different, basking within each other’s presence is more than enough. In the end, the others joined with watching the movie in a group huddle, with occasional shrieks from either Kaveh or Scaramouche, which were scarier than the graphic movie scenes.

Lion Guard Finale Praise + Rant
There is a lot I hate about The Lion Guard's final episode but the one thing that will always hold a special place in my heart is the return montage:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You can't tell in screenshots, but in the background, the LG chorus sings a reprise of the Departure Theme from the premiere episode, with this montage being a book-end to the goodbyes that the Guard said to their friends and families in that episode.
It's really sweet and powerful because it's a beautiful example of "Show, don't tell" (a rule which this show, particularly in Season 3, and the LK sequels in general are not the best at following). We see what the Lion Guard had left behind when they went on their journey to the Tree of Life, how much they had missed their home and how glad they are to be back and how that feeling was reciporicated by their friends and families.
Keep in mind that earlier that morning they were under the belief that Zira invaded the Pride Lands and had possibly killed the royal family and subjugated the Pride Lands' non-lion subjects if not giving them a same gruesome fate (since Kion knows that Zira is a lion supremacist, god-forbid what would happen if she ever got near Mtoto, Thurston, or Ajabu), and on the Pride Landers' end, the Lion Guard had been gone for such a long time with no one having any way of knowing they'd return or if they died. So this reunion was likely also a huge relief for everyone in the Pride Lands, especially Simba, Basi, and Timon and Pumbaa (who no doubt would've been scared shitless at the idea that their kid could be missing forever or dead and have no way to confirm or deny that possibility). It's just all around amazing to see. When watching the episode for the first time when it came out I thought something was wrong with my computer because despite there being 14 minutes left, I wholeheartedly thought the series was going to end there....
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
...which is why I'm very mad that it didn't and forever disappointed at the route they went with for the actual ending.
In the span of less than a full day since the Lion Guard returned from the Tree of Life, all of them instantly want to head back there on a whim after losing the Lion Guard contest, which would wind up in them completely uprooting their lives and leaving their home and families again for the sake of this one kingdom that we've only seen for seven to eight out of 74 episodes plus a TV movie! The reunion showed us that the Guard was strongly attached to their home and families, but now the ending forces us to ignore that to logistify the Guard willingly going to the Tree of Life without any on-screen goodbyes or send-offs. No scene of doubt, no goodbye songs, no parting ways between characters, nothing, it just jump cuts from "Hey, let's go back to the Tree of Life even though we've only been back here for a day" straight to them at the Tree of Life for Kion and Rani's wedding. Isn't the episode's title supposed to be "Return to the Pride Lands?" Yet the "return" plot stops mattering after the first 11 minutes.
The whole Guard leaving with Kion doesn't even make sense: Bunga has Timon and Pumbaa at Hakuna Matata Falls, Beshte has to co-lead the hippo pod with his father, Ono has his flock and possibly even Ona (you could argue that he would want to return to the Tree of Life because they healed him, but that's not the reason they went with - Also the poor dude lost his Mark of the Guard twice, the first being after he lost his eyesight to protect the Pride Lands from Scar, like, what the fuck?), Fuli had been the most admant about returning to the Pride Lands, and Anga showed no interest in staying at the Tree of Life and seemed perfectly ok in the Pride Lands.
Even back in the days where people were theorizing what would happen to the Lion Guard that caused them to be absent in TLK 2, I never saw reason for the whole Guard to leave if Kion ever left, and even then, I never expected any departure to be permanent because it would go against their whole life-style. It feels like they only had them leave like this for the sake of some "twist" that didn't need to be there. And even if they were going to go with this route, they could've had the Guard separate, with some staying and some going to at least make sense.
Much like Makini, Season 3 ignores crucial story elements of the main characters from the first two seasons to both justify their "plot-twist" by the end and to wrap up any “plot-holes” with the Lion King 2 and forces the audience to suspend an inappropriate amount of their disbelief. So while I like the reunion in the final episode and whilst my love for the show remains un-matched, knowing how it all ends and that (according to some writers) it was planned from the start to end like this makes me feel cheated in a way. One of the most disappointing endings I've seen from a show which I've been willing to follow from start to finish and this is coming from someone who's watched both Jake and the Never Land Pirates and Bunk'd.

You know, I just watched about 10 minutes of that dumb "documentary." I think those who try to keep bringing up the "sleaze and scandal" parts of Elvis's romantic life (such as him dating people like Cilla, Sandy Ferra and (supposedly) Jackie Rowland when they were 14, never mind the fact he never went past kissing with the last two and didn't sleep with Cilla until after their wedding), keep forgetting one thing: THIS WAS DURING THE 1950s-70s!
I mean, heck, Scotty Moore even said in his book that back then (especially where E grew up) it was considered perfectly normal for there to be large age gaps in relationships and for older men to date teen girls. My grandmother married at 16. Loretta Lynn married at 14. Grandma even said she knew girls who 'went steady' with their boyfriends at age 14 and later dropped out of school to get married. Today this is considered morally wrong (as it should be) but BACK THEN IT WAS NOT! And that's something these tabloid writers (including Alanna Nash) just don't seem to get.
Simply put, times and social norms were much different then. Morality has evolved considerably since then. I don't say this to excuse the behavior, but more to give an explanation of the situation to some of the other anons. Just remember: It's easy to make something look scandalous when it's taken out of context, either socially or otherwise. So seriously, Nash: stop blaming E for being a product of his time.
Okay, rant over. Just needed to get that out of my system.
👏👏👏
Honestly, I could not have said it better myself if I tried! Come to think of it I have tried and it didn't go so well, lol! You are so correct on every point!
Can we get a brave and an amen for this anon♥️♥️♥️!
Oh and thank you for being one of my first asks♥️♥️♥️!!!!
Oh, edited to add: Part of me feels like this is a cycle as well. The “Let’s try to bring down the juggernaut that is Elvis Presley !” Take 408, 322 cycle. Anything to tarnish a long, enduring legacy and I don't understand why?

Kalla | Choi San || Chapter 6
Tumblr media
MASTERLIST Previous || Next
Pairings: CEO!San x fem!reader
Genre: smut, angst, fluff, strangers to lovers.
Warnings: dom!San, sub!reader, voyeourism, use of sex toys, bondage, dirty talk, BDSM, exhibitionism, rough sex.
Summary: She was surprised by how fast her life went from the perfect fairytale to the destructive mess it had turned into. Dealing with a cheater ex boyfriend, having to move out to a different place because the house she lived in belonged to that man she once dreamed of spending the rest of her life with, while continuously being underappreciated at work... It was as if life was telling her to stop dreaming big, to go back to her small town, Bibury, and help her parents run the small farm her family had owned for decades.
At least until she received a call from her friend.
A sudden vacancy as an assistant showed up on one of her friend's system, having her being encouraged to take that big step and apply for it. She had no hopes for it. Mainly because she didn't have any experience on the field, and she didn't comply with most of the requirements that were added on the offer -and which most of them sounded ridiculous and exaggerated for the position, making her wonder who was the freak who needed so many guidelines in order to hire someone to pick up the phone and schedule events. 
Although that hotel she'd be working on was much more than anything she could've come up with. 
Choi San wasn't someone easy to deal with. After his previous assistant presented his resignation letter on his desk, he felt forced to start the whole selection process again -after merely two months. 
Sure that he was being way too strict, enough to find that anyone who applied for the position wasn't enough, he asked one of his friends to be in charge of the interviews and the selection of the most adequate candidate. 
Little did he know Wooyoung would hire the imperfectly perfect candidate for him, sure that she'd help him in many ways other than just in dealing with the responsibilities of his position. 
A new challenge will come their way as soon as she steps inside the hotel. 
Y/n will have to learn how to mold onto him and deal with all his small habits and requirements, and San will find himself trying to open up and let out all those same things that turned him into the person he was. 
The more she digs in Kalla and all of its secrets and exciting corners, the deeper she'll dive into San's heart and soul... Although, maybe, she won't be able to take it. 
Kalla opens its doors to you, sharing the vast amount of filthy and erotic plans it offers, and that you can join with a partner... Or maybe just by yourself. 
Hope you enjoy your stay.
Chapter duration: 14 minutes
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
As San calmly turned to Wooyoung, Y/n analyzed his body, slowly realizing how obvious it actually was that the man next to her was the man she'd be working for. That dominant and intimidating aura, the expensive white shirt almost hidden under the black vest that looked like the staff's uniform in the hotel... She felt so stupid for not noticing San being right in front of her before she started ranting about him.
She only had one chance to get a good first impression. It was the only thing that genuinely worried her, and what kept her mind busy during the flight. And she ruined it with just a phone call.
San looked at Wooyoung, who was sitting across from him. His eyes were anywhere but on his friend, avoiding the judging look he was giving him after he realized the consequences of allowing him to do something as important as choosing an employee. He wasn't intimidated by him though, there was no way Wooyoung could ever feel scared of San to the point of instinctively looking away not to look at him. He was consciously ignoring him because checking whether their coffees would be coming or not was more interesting.
—I know I'm pretty. But play it cool, can you? —Wooyoung teased him, finally looking back at him.
—When I told you I wanted someone new in the business, I meant someone whom I could mold into what I needed, not someone who lacked common sense in every single sense —San hissed.
—She's smart and witty —he finally turned to his friend, slightly turning his body as he changed the position of his legs, moving the left over the right one—. You should've seen her in that interview —Wooyoung scoffed—. I haven't seen someone as brutally honest as you, and even less in her position.
—Yeah, I got a glimpse of how brutally honest she is.
The words slid through his clenched teeth, remembering the way she was referring to him, and how she complained about the conditions of her new position, or his attitude towards new employees.
He was a freak, he was demanding... But where the hell did she get that he was a fat old man out of those little details? It somehow offended him, because of the basic and effortless logic she was using to get to her own conclusions. She related someone's personality to the way they looked, and that alone showed him how mentally immature she probably was.
—You didn't even give her a chance —Wooyoung insisted.
—I have no choice but to do it, thanks to you —San replied—. I should've known I couldn't trust you to do this.
—You, watch out for what you say —his finger raised up to him—. At least I managed to find you someone. If it had been up to you, you'd still be looking for a person to fill up that vacancy.
San's eyes rolled, before they got lost somewhere in the room for a few seconds. As much as he hated to admit it, Wooyoung was the only reason he was finally able to say he had a secretary to look after all of his schedules and documents that were starting to be a headache for him.
—Why didn't you let her say more than just two words before though? —San inquired, squinting his eyes as they moved back to his friend.
—I did that? —his lips puckered, and his eyebrows raised, as his index pointed at himself.
—Don't play dumb —he interrupted—. You know damn well you did. Why? That's the question.
At first, San guessed it was because he didn't want her to turn the situation even more uncomfortable than it already was. Letting her escape and get ready was a way of giving her time to prepare and mentalize what she was going to say and how she was going to act on that first day, and Wooyoung didn't even allow him to see how that girl behaved at sudden unexpected situations.
—Well, I thought there would be a small miscommunication between you two —he scratched his nape nervously—. But nothing that can't be solved in a matter of time, with a lot of hard work.
—Can't you just tell me what's up? —he insisted, placing one of his hands over the table.
—Well, she isn't the best at Korean —he tried to make it sound better than it was.
—Why? Her pronunciation is off? If that's it, I wouldn't have made a big deal about it —San shrugged— I know I might seem an asshole to everybody, but I'm understanding in general.
—It's a problem with her pronunciation, her grammar, her vocabulary... It's Korean as a whole.
—Wooyoung, I swear if it is what's crossing my mind right now... Trust me, you'll want to be taken back to London —he threatened.
—She understands most of the words —Wooyoung lied—, she's able to read and write it, but she's awful at speaking it —he confessed.
—So she just doesn't know Korean at all —he huffed—. And you brought her here? Tell me you didn't sign the contract already.
Wooyoung forced a nervous smile, trying to appel to San's soft side by pretending to be nervous over the situation when, actually, he was pretty much calm and satisfied about how everything was turning out.
—Do you realize that now I can't even fire her because of her communication sinkhole? —San grunted— She could defend herself by saying we all were fine with her not knowing Korean when she signed the contract, what the fuck were you thinking about?
—I thought about the fact that barely anyone in Korea wants to work for a hotel that was in one of the biggest scandals in Seoul, and whose theme doesn't really seem appealing for anyone outside of it —Wooyoung snapped back—, which left us with poor candidates that no one wants. And the ones in Europe weren't any better —he huffed—. You should've read the resumes I've seen, and the interviews I've had, despite some of them speaking Korean. Y/n was one of the best. And it isn't like a language can't be learnt and improved.
—Doesn't speak Korean, isn't careful with her mouth, is there anything else I need to know before I have to carry her around? —San barked— She should be of help, instead of becoming a bigger burden for me.
As she approached them, Y/n could read through San's body language how unhappy he was about whatever it was he was discussing with Wooyoung. Being in that lame office in Youth, where people wouldn't ever communicate, made her an expert in what people were able to communicate through their bodies -or, more like, unable to control. They were speaking in Korean, so it wasn't like she'd understand much even if she stood a meter away from their table.
She was able to grasp a feminine pronoun, the verb "to be" and the word burden; with all of them being put in the context she was in, she managed to understand what the conversation was about pretty fast.
Shyly, and before the conversation scaled any higher, she hawked, having the two men turning to her. San didn't even pretend that he was glad to see her, while Wooyoung turned to her with a smile before getting up from his chair to walk up to her.
—Ah, there you are —he got up.
As she saw him approaching her, Y/n instantly thought that he'd probably guide her to the table, although he just stepped towards her to settle some safe distance between him and San before he spoke again.
—I bet you'll do great —he assured her—. Ignore him if he gets too grumpy —he commented to the down low—.
—Don't dare to do this —San warned him in Korean.
—You'll be in good hands —Wooyoung assured—. Hope you really like your first day. Don't get too stressed, bye —he ignored every single attempt San made to stop him from running away from the issue he created, with all of his intimidating gazes and warning tones going completely useless for his friend.
She moved uncomfortably, forcing the tiny smile, at least to keep her lips curving slightly, while her hands were tangled in her lower stomach. It was even more difficult when San's eyes moved from Wooyoung's silhouette in the distance to her, not showing any type of expression.
—I want to apologize for earlier —she spoke first, thinking those words would make the air between lighter—. I shouldn't have said those things, and it's not like l meant them either.
—You didn't? —he raised his eyebrow, making his expression seem even rougher— You seemed pretty much convinced that I should go to the therapist. So you're telling me you say those things without thinking about them?
Oh, he wasn't going to be easy.
—I just think it was a bad start, and it shouldn't determine the type of relationship we'll have from now and onwards —she whispered.
—I don't let those things determine how I view a professional —San answered, getting comfortable in his chair—, their actions and work do. Just like that wrinkle in your sleeve is showing off you didn't plan your first day as carefully as you should have.
Y/n frowned, carefully lifting her arm enough so it wouldn't be too obvious she was looking at it, while also moving it up to a height where she'd be able to see that flaw he pointed out through the corner of her eye.
She washed that blouse before she packed it, and it wasn't like she was carrying around a clothes iron. She damned the soft pink tint of the fabric, that made it that detail even more obvious through the darker tone of the shades.
A hawk cleared the air again, coming from the top of her mouth as she lowered her arm again, trying to hide it behind her body.
—Decaffeinated Americano, with one spoon of sugar —San said out of nowhere.
—Oh no, thank you —Y/n shook her head with a smile—. I ate something on my way here.
San looked confused at the way she declined the information he was giving her, mistaking the start of her training as a gesture of sympathy on his side.
—I wasn't offering it to you —he quickly cleared up—. It's what I always have, and something you should memorize if you're going to work for me. I want a cup on my desk every morning, as soon as your shift starts.
She was fighting her own body from reacting to the embarrassment she put herself in, starting to feel the way her cheeks lighted up and felt warmer with the passing of seconds. Of course he wouldn't offer coffee to her, when the first thing he noticed was that her shirt wasn't ironed after flying for more than twelve hours.
—Wooyoung told me you'd be the one telling me when my shift starts and ends —she started—. I don't...
—Eight in the morning —he sighed, interrupting her before she could finish her sentence—, and you finish at six. Unless I need you here for something —he let her know, slowly getting up from his chair.
So that meant she should be in his office at quarter to eight, and leave at quarter past six, considering Wooyoung advised her to always be earlier than San.
—You know no Korean at all? —his eyes squinted at her— Nevermind, follow me.
He didn't bother showing her the hotel, or introducing her to any of the staff they walked past as she struggled to follow him from one side to the other of the reception. San stopped when they reached one of the elevators, walking past it towards the arch across from it. It wasn't a long corridor, and there weren't many doors, but Y/n could tell that area was more dedicated towards administration and everything else that had nothing to do with the customer service side of every hotel.
The walls were made out of glass, but it was opaque. She could distinguish some shapes, but she couldn't tell what they were until he opened the white door to step inside before her. It was a small room, but big -considering there was only one table. It didn't have much furniture, it actually seemed more like a reception by the way the crystal desk was positioned facing the door they came from, almost working as a barrier from the other white door placed next to it.
Probably San's office was right behind it.
—You'll work here —he announced—. That's your desk, that's your computer. Anything else you might need, send me an e-mail about it and I'll tell Mingi to give it to you.
Mingi... She had heard that name before. She was sure it was the boy Wooyoung told her would help her on her first few days.
—You aren't allowed inside my office unless I tell you —he warned her—. It's one basic rule, so I hope I won't have to repeat myself in a few days —he let her know—. Wooyoung told me your Korean is bad, so I need you to take lessons and learn the language as soon as possible. Every week your level will be tested. In case there's no improvement... Well, there will be consequences. But I doubt we'll have to even get there. And, clearly, if you show no interest in learning, you're out.
He had no time to waste it on someone that he didn't even pick.
Y/n gulped thick at how cold his stare was, freezing her soul by just moving his eyes through hers.
—Mingi will come to explain to you how things work —San commented, poking one of his hands inside the pocket of his pants—. If you have any doubt, ask him. Meanwhile, sit still and don't touch anything that you don't know how it works.
Her eyes followed the gray blazer once it crossed her camp of vision, admiring his wide back before he closed the door to his office behind him. He wasn't what she expected... he probably was worse. After he left the room, she finally felt relieved enough to let out all the air that was piling up in her lungs since they entered the room.
She could already tell it'd be difficult to get herself a place there, San wouldn't make it easy for her. He should've been the one helping her with her doubts, and with everything that she needed to learn. It wasn't like he'd need to teach her every single little thing, but she thought it'd have been better if he had taken the time to talk a bit more with her, instead of locking himself inside his office without aiming a single word at her.
Her slips were slightly pressed against one another, encouraging herself to knock on that door, but stopping herself because she didn't want to make things more difficult on her first day. She was sure she'd be able to talk to him more in the next few days.
Two knocks behind her made her body turn, finding a tall man -that almost reached the upper frame of the door, smiling at her as he bowed in her direction.
—Y/n, right? —he pointed at her, with both of his eyebrows raised— I'm Mingi. My English isn't really good, so just take it easy with me.
—Well, I'm the one who should know Korean, so I'm in no place to judge —she giggled.
What the hell did they drink in that hotel, and why did every man she came across looked better than the one before?
—You'll learn it fast, don't worry —he shook his hand in the air, walking up to her— Who gave you the job?
As he asked that question, he walked past her, picking up one of the chairs in front of her new desk to place it next to what would be her chair.
—Wooyoung —she commented.
—Ah, yeah, it makes sense —he nodded, looking at her through the lenses of his glasses—. We all kinda made bets about this —he lowered his voice in a whisper—, hardly anyone bet for San. But I did. And now I see that I shouldn't have.
—Do you want me to say it was San the one who chose me? —she jokingly asked, leaning a bit in his direction.
—If you do that for me, I'll tell you everything you need to know about him —he nodded—. And I mean everything you will need to know. But not now —sitting in the chair he had moved, Mingi offered her her new seat.
The computer started when she sat in front of it. Moving back, and placing the keyboard and the mouse closer to Mingi, she allowed him to take full control of the devices as he explained everything she officially needed to know.
Her head was closer to blowing towards the end of the evening. It had been just three hours, but she was sure the intensive class seemed like three days instead. She was shown all the databases she'd work on every once in a long while, all the tools she'd need to use, the phone numbers that were saved, and the way she should reply to each one of them -although those things were written in Korean. Mingi also took the time to show her how the most important application worked, to make sure she wouldn't screw it the second she had to check San's schedule for anything that needed her to check it.
—I don't know if they had explained it to you, but you shouldn't worry about food, water or anything that you might need. They give us a 50% discount on the restaurant, tomorrow we could give it a try —he suggested—. I bet you'll love it.
—Yeah, why not? —she smiled.
She wondered how someone as distant and cold as San had people like Wooyoung and Mingi around him, it was something that escaped her comprehension.
The door clicked behind them, showing off a serious San walking past them before Mingi spoke to him in Korean.
—You're leaving already?
—Yeah —he nodded—. See you tomorrow.
Her lips puckered in rage, annoyed at the fact that he didn't even look at her as he said goodbye to Mingi, who didn't wait a second more to get up from the chair to place it back where it was, smiling wide at her.
—It's already the end of your shift —he announced to her—. You can go back home. Or, I guess, you're staying in a room for now.
—Oh, I know —she stopped—. I'll stay a bit longer.
—You should enjoy the fact that he has left at this time, instead of staying longer. You might regret staying longer today in a few weeks.
She didn't know him for long, but Mingi for sure wasn't the best at cheering people up.
The next day was her real first day, and she wanted to keep a basic knowledge of everything he had explained to her. She reviewed all the tools as the light in the room went slowly darker with each passing hour, even if there was no natural light sneaking inside her office. She got familiar with every tool, she translated the small guides Mingi had shown her, so she'd be able to understand what she was saying... She guessed that, since she was lacking in some aspects, she for sure needed to make her good sides speak louder.

Watched Royal Rumble 2023. My highlights (will be brief because I need to rant about that main event):
1. Not sure if it was smart play by WWE putting the men’s match first, because we forgot ALL about the winner by the end of the night.
2. Kofi botches his Rumble save for the second straight year. Yeah, it’s done. Time to end that ish for good now.
3. The minute Lesnar came out I said Lashley is coming for his ass. Glad I was proven right.
4. Rey not making it to the ring but Ex Con Dom comes out right after and has his mask. Does this make Rey Mysterio the rightful winner?
5. A Rumble spot wasted on Booker T when Mustafa Ali was right there, smh
6. Not Montez being thrown out in front of his in-laws 😭
7. I kinda wish Cody’s return had been a surprise.
8. Yoooo that spot with Logan Paul and Ricochet was something out of Dragonball Z! And I don't even watch Dragonball Z.
9. GUNTHER and Cody had a whole match within a match and it was great. Gunther is that guy. The IC champ looked like the fucking boss. So so good.
10. Very good men’s match. Wasn’t too extravagant and it worked.
11. The Pitch Black match looked like a rave I once attended when I was in England, lol.
12. Bray Wyatt is for the aesthetics and theatrical more than the actual wrestling, always has been. I don’t understand how fans were expecting a 5-star match.
13. Didn’t bother watching the Raw women’s title match. Bianca deserves better and I don’t care for Alexa Bliss being thrown back into that lame witchy storyline.
14. The women’s match wasn’t as good as the men’s, for me. It only picked up when it was down to the final three.
15. Damage CTRL looked kind of strong for once, knocking everybody out.
16. Michelle McCool with THAT body and wrestling in Uggs? 🔥
17. Yes yes yes to AsuKana, her dark outfit and the murder clown face paint. Triple H needs to run back her days of destruction at NXT.
18. Thank you WWE for changing that STUPID dew drop name back to Piper Niven.
19. Nia Jax?!?! 🙄🙄🙄 Errr, no. On top of that, her music started playing before the countdown even came on. Hot tears.
20. I don’t think Naomi will ever come back either and that makes me sad. 😢
21. The right woman won. Bianca vs Rhea at Mania will be epic, and Rhea will win.
22. The woman at No. 1 won and the man at No. 30 won. Very interesting.
23. Samantha Irvin was on her A-game with the main event intros. 🤌🏾
24. Standard good match, Roman the king of 2.9999 kick outs as usual.
25. I wondered why the match went so short. I regretted it soon enough 😭
26. Roman throwing KO by the back of his head on the jagged part of the steps TWICE! 😬😬😬😬
27. Sami cringing the whole time, and things would only get worse for him after the match ended. 🥺
28. The Bloodline brutalized KO. Steel chair and super kicks and handcuffs. Sami couldn’t take anymore and tried to beg off and ended up getting pie-faced over and over. It was then that I realized what was coming…
29. And yet, my jaw still DROPPED when Sami hit Roman with that chair! 😱 Unbelievable!
30. LOL at Roman actually looking back, wondering whether it’s 2014 all over again.
31. Jimmy though. Jimmy. Attacked Sami first. Didn’t hesitate for a second. After all the handshakes. “My dawg”. The Honorary Uce name. Smiling at Sami the whole time. He was the one who brought Sami into the group in the first place, back when Jey wanted him out.
32. And the look on his face as he attacked. Manic. Rabid. Unhinged. His viciousness stunned me initially, but then I remember what he told Roman all those weeks ago:
“Sami’s my dawg. I like Sami. But I love my family. I love the Bloodline. I love you.”
33. Solo. The hired gun, sent by the elders to do Roman’s bidding. Forgetting that he also used Sami to gaslight Jey numerous times before Roman brainwashed him.
34. Roman crying as he and the rest of the Bloodline decimated Sami pissed me off, lol. “I gave you the world! You broke my family!” What?!The audacity!
35. Jey walking away in tears legitimately made me cry. You could see 2020 flashing before his eyes; the way Roman treated Sami was the exact same way he did Jey and he has never forgotten it.
36. And now on his IG, Jey has declared war! 😳
37. LISTEN TO THIS FROM THE FANS! And watch Roman’s reaction. Dropping the petals one by one over Sami and Kevin’s grave! 😭
38. All this time, we’ve had cool heel Roman. Now we have evil heel Roman. Finally.
I have no idea where this storyline is going, but I am on their edge of my seat and will gobble it all up.
MVP - The entire Bloodline and Kevin. No debate. These boys need to go to Hollywood asap.
Line of the night:
Everything from commentary. Pat, Michael Cole and Corey Graves were on 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Ik this will probably be one of the dumbest rants but here we go ig.It's long so feel free to scroll if you want
So like I was hiking w my family n my mom like told me to tie my shoelaces right? So I did...nothing really happened until like my parents were like 'oh you didn't tie it tight enough so I like redid the thing. But then it still wasn't good enough and I had to redo it and redo it again until I got it right. The ENTIRE time they were being extremely demeaning and harsh saying crap like 'oh you're 14 and you can't even tie your shoelaces blah blah blah' so I obviously got hurt n I cried sm. Like they have a point but like they know that my fine motor skills suck sm and like it takes me a long time to grasp practical abilities.
So I went on a walk to calm myself down and then my Dad went up to me and he was like 'you have no right to be angry' and 'oh well, it's better to be scolded by me than humiliated by your friends' don't start assuming shit about my friends please. N he said that I walked fast bc I was angry??? Have you ever thought that...I wanted to be left alone?? And then like 5 minutes later, he started acting like I didn't exist n shit. When me,my sister n parents like arrived to this lake thingy, my dad asked me if I wanted to take photo's n like I said no. He assumed I was angry (I was not I just needed to process and digest everything he said to me. And by everything I meant the useful stuff not those backhanded comments. And I just didn't want to take photo's because my face was red from crying. So he went on this tangent saying that I had a bad attitude and that he'll never talk to me n shit again. This made me cry even more bc I was genuinely hurt.Like Ik it happens sm and I experienced worse. But like? I wasn't mad, I just needed to process my thoughts. I can't be happy go lucky right after you screamed at me for not doing my shoelaces right. And I thought that y'all would congratulate me for walking fast bc my pace is usually slow but I got condemened instead. So my mom told me to stop being so sensitive. N my sister who actually understands my situation cheered me up a little. So we went to get drinks n my dad was ignoring me. He still had to pay for my drink bc my mom told him to but I genuinely don't give a crap if he didn't bc I already bought my octopus card anyways. So we were returning home by car and like I was drowning out my thoughts w loud music n I went back home n cried some more!!
Alright, ty for listening to my rant but like seriously. My fine motor skills were always poor and practical skillsets take sm time for me to grasp compared to like things such as theatre/creative writing. And my parents words of belittlement don't make it any better really. I'm also neurodivergent and I'm v sensitive so telling me to 'get over it' or 'I won't talk to you ever again' won't work because I'll take it literally. Obviously, my parents DO have a point but my words hurt sm no? Like I already struggle so much with basic tasks, don't add something else to the mix by threatening to make me tie shoelaces 100x times.
I am immensely grateful towards my parents and I love them sm but I don't like it when they do things like this/srs

now do it again with adventure time and its related medias
Tumblr media
You don't know what you're doing to me yOU KNOW I JUST FINISHED THAT SHOW YOU ASSHOLE !!!
Fuck, I don't even know where to start with it really, it hasn't festered in my brain long enough to accumulate the agressive love that I have for things like the M(arkiplier)CU and Eddsworld, but truly it's getting there
It's one of those shows I went into thinking "I'm gonna watch this so I know what's happening in Fionna and Cake :3" and came out of it actually crying over the finale that shit was so good
The show was NOT a kids show and I don't at all regret waiting until now that I'm an adult to watch it, it handles topics surprisingly very seriously, like the idea of finding out who you are as a person and what it means to be alive in a world we don't actually understand
Watching that show I thought Marceline and Bubblegum was a last minute thing the show runners thought of with how it was framed to me when their kiss happened in the finale, how I was told about it was from people with homophobic values and incel like behavior but at the time I didn't think of it as anything to write home about, I saw it as just another show trying to have last minute queer representation, a rushed "THEY WERE GAY THE WHOLE TIME!" moment
But watching the show, seeing their first interaction together, truly it clicked that it WAS planned from the beginning, the way that PB had explained that yeah ofc she kept Marcy's shirt, it meant a lot to her, the way that up until that point and even way after, they haven't blushed at anyone else - maybe embarassing things, but not something sweet and meaningful like that, only to each other
And when I learned about Finn having a crush on PB it was, again, before I watched the show from people who were young at the time and naive, explaining it as their OTP or "a really cute will they won't they" and watching the show, seeing how it was explicitly said that PB was too old for Finn, how PB never lead him on or even tried to give him the impression she was into him, just Finn being a kid and having a crush cause he likes women and is friends with one, trying to figure out how hormones works as he goes through puberty, it's crazy I love how the show handles relationships
Like Flame Princess and Finn's relationship - WOW, like actually WOW, I vaguely remember watching some episodes of Adventure Time in my youth but nothing substantial, like I watched some from the first few seasons and then I remember hearing and seeing talk of FP and Finn's breakup and the aftermath of it, but not much of it actually happening, and last thing I remember is the "Elemental" arc and being really intruiged by it but never being able to watch it
But the way Finn later properly apologized to FP ? How he feels guilty all the way up until FP forgives Finn for properly apologzing ? That was so rewarding to watch, the writers really care about it's characters, it truly shows
But, I also wanna infodump about what I'd mentioned in my tags of the Markiplier rant, how I made the connection between The Cask of Amontillado and Season 9, Episode 14 of Adventure Time, because I think that was one of my biggest brain moments I've had in a while
I'm too lazy to rewrite it all out though having just written TEN THOUSAND WORDS SO instead I'm just gonna copy and paste what I wrote to my partner about it (who loves the Cask of Amontillado, too :) I really love Poe's work fuckkk)
In the episode beforehand we see Fern (Grass curse version of Finn) struggling with the fact that he, being made from Finn's time loop self preserved in a sword that was then taken over by the curse of Finn's old grass sword, is different than Finn himself
He believes that since he shared all of Finn's memories and is a version of Finn (again, time looped version of Finn from Prismo's plan B shenanigans which if you're confused or curious about I would gladly explain) he is no different than Finn but still feels like he's falling short and losing to Finn, like he's a lesser version of him (having naturally violent tendencies, being in Ooo while Finn was away and failing to protect it from the "Elements" arc, failing to win against Finn in even rock, paper, scissors after a series of draws, etc.)
So he decides he's going to take over Finn's life and become "the only Finn", in his words -which I wanna also talk about because that was dropped at the end of EP 13 (the one before the last episode, 14)
When Fern says "the only Finn", Finn says out loud "uh.. yeah. But that's a weird thing to call me" which shows that Finn truly believes Fern to be a different person than himself, which brings me to a conflict that happened in EP 14 where Finn and Fern are in this dungeon together and Finn stops to bring up his appreciation for Fern and feeling a close bond with him (already thus insinuating that Finn believes him to be separate because why would he bring this up if he thought of Fern as a different version of himself, there would be no reason because their similarities are a given, but I think Finn going to an entirely separate reality (Farmer Finn reality) and seeing a wildly different version of himself made him realize that just because he is Finn, he's not Finn, if that makes any sense)
Finn goes: "Hey, Fern! Wait up! Hey, I just wanna say that, it's really cool that you're in to this stuff, y'know? That we have so much in common! It feels almost like we're real brothers, right? Or.. even closer!" and this causes Fern to pause
Finn is very heavy handed with the whole "found family" thing, equating people he's close to as either his family member or a romantic interest later turned friend but still very close to his heart (as with Jake and now Fern being called his brothers, though Jake more literally as they were raised by the same parents, and BMO and Nepter his and Jake's sons as they both raise them and are wildly different in age or at least implied age, and PB and Flame Princess though those have wildly different things I'm not gonna get into but was handled extremely well)
But Ferm took it less as Finn seeing him as someone detached from him and who just so happens to have the same interests as him in the same way that Jake does to Finn making fun of him for being just another version of Finn and seeing himself as just that
Even MORE fucked up is how they got here in the first place in one of my favorite ways to torture someone mentally: Hiding in plain sight
End of EP 13, when Fern gives the line "the only Finn", we see that he's able to shange his grassy self into Finn's human body, and earlier in the beginning of EP 14 we see Finn talking to Jake, Nepter and BMO, all of the inhabitants of the house who are all talking about going to the market to buy a replacement trumpet for Jake who's trumpets keep mysteriously breaking (BMO is quick to give in to the guilt of this and apologizes for being the destructor of the trumpets before Finn and Nepter pull an "I'm Radio Rebel" on them)
But what we see when they leave is that Finn is actually Fern and has convinced Finn that he's able to "shapeshift" as a new ability, and shape shifted as Finn specifically to play a prank on the others. Come to find out when Fern and Finn are dungeoning, Fern plans to leave Finn in that dungeon room in the most beautiful interpretation of Cask of Amontillado I've EVER seen
Let me elaborate
In the Cask of Amontillado we see Montressor literally lead Fortunado to his death and even show it to him and TELL him about it Sure he tricked him into going along with it, but Fortunado is still confused as to why Montressor would be blocking him inside his own tomb despite having willing walked into it after repeatedly being shown Montressor's hand, his cards, his knife, whatever you wanna call Montressor practically showing him the weapon he was going to murder him with
And in EP 14 it's driven home FURTHER by the fact that Fern LITERALLY WALLS FINN'S ONLY EXIT OFF WITH STONE AFTER FINN WILLINGLY WALKED IN UNDER THE GUISE OF IT BEING A TREASURE ROOM
Fuck's sake the parallels are INSANE, I high recommend watching the on screen play of Cask of Amontillado and then EP 14 of Adventure Time because the parallels are incredibly similar Like to the point where Fern pushes out a brick in the same fashion that Montressor left out a brick to talk to Fortunado one last time before resealing the hole up and walking away from the cask
If that's really confusing, I had to explain to them AT lore because they don't watch it and also I didn't reread it when I was writing it, I wrote it in a frenzy cause that's genuinely one of my favorite episodes now so sorry for any spelling mistakes
Also I'm literally obsessed with Fionna and Cake's intro, I don't know why but THAT SCRATCHES THE BRAIN SO GOOOOOD FUCKK
like truly I'm thinking about it and it won't go away
Also L + ratio + bozo to people getting upset with Marshal Lee being black despite in canon Marceline's mom was black so really all it did was confirm Marceline's dad was black coded and she's not mixed
ALSO I LOVE DONALD GLOVER WHY DID ANYONE THINK HE WASN'T BLACK ??? I mean I know that the VA doesn't determine the race of the character, but I mean COME ON
But I will never forgive the writers for naming Prince Bubblegum "GARY"
what is he a SNAIL who lives in a PINEAPPLE under the SEA ?

A/N: Greetings! I am Zia and I usually only read stuff on tumblr but since I really love Finn from Yuurivoice so much, why not write a fanfic about him! Happy birthday to our cottagecore boyfriend, Finn! This is inspired by the Finn scenario that I once commented to @talkfloraltome. Enjoy!
Wordcount: 1.4k
~The greatest gift of all~
Tumblr media
It was 3:19 in the afternoon when you arrived at Finn’s house, already passed out on the couch. You didn’t bother to change clothes nor sleep on the bed from exhaustion. No, you weren’t exhausted from work, it was from planning and setting up your date in the park. Since it is Finn’s birthday, August 14, you decided to do something nice for him and surprise him on a date in your favorite spot at the park with Jack’s help.
You felt a bit guilty this morning when you told Finn you were going to work, but the truth is you asked a day off to really plan this. The original plan was to get dressed and wait for Finn to come home, but you were already too tired. “Sleeping for a few minutes won’t hurt right?” you said as you doze off.
Finn arrived at home shortly. As he entered the house, he looked at any sign if you had come home already. He was a bit surprised when he saw you sleeping on the couch. He then smiled at your sleeping form and gently picked you up bridal style to place you on your shared bed. Finn then tucked you in and kissed your forehead. Something about you makes his heart squeeze a bit, so he stayed to admire you and look at your features more. He really felt like the luckiest person in the world to have you.
“Sigh, sometimes I wonder if I really deserve someone beautiful and hardworking like you. You must be really tired from working so hard today, you should rest more often.” Finn said as he sat at the edge of the bed. “I never had the chance to say this but thank you. You are really one of the best things that has ever happened to me, my sunflower.” He then rant about his day at the shop.
After an hour of Finn ranting to you in your sleep, you finally woke up. As you sat up, your vision got clearer and saw your boyfriend in front of you. “Finny? You’re home so early.” you said hazily. “No, I already arrived an hour ago. Do you want me to brew you some tea?” “Yes please, thank youuu.” Finn stood up and went out to brew some tea. He then came back with some oolong tea and handed it to you carefully. You then proceed to drink the tea he made.
“So, how was your work?” you asked him, letting him rant about his day at the shop. He rant away for the second time, but well this time you are awake. You can’t help but love and admire him. “It’s the usual but I received many orders today, maybe because of the increasing popularity of the shop.” Finn said as he helped you set aside your teacup at the night stand. “Oh really? That’s great! Anyway, thank you for carrying me to bed, you don’t have to.” “Well I don’t want to make your sleep more uncomfortable, so I carried you to bed.” if it was possible to fall in love with him more, then that’s your answer.
It was silent for a bit, but then Finn remembered something. “O-oh, I got something for you! I saw this while passing by at one shop. I thought you’ll like it. It reminded me of you, so I bought it for you.” Finn gave the present to you which was neatly wrapped in a small box. It was ironic for you because today is his birthday and yet he got you something. You opened it and it was… “Ta-da! It’s a pink crystal rose. I know it’s a bit cheesy and cliche but the meaning can say itself what I wanted to tell you.”
From the past flower lessons with Finn, pink rose symbolizes admiration, gentleness, and sweetness. It was a bit embarrassing because he may or may not have seen you looking at that crystal rose one time when you both visited the store. You didn’t buy it that time because it was a bit expensive, but seeing Finn bought it for you made you really happy.
Without thinking, you launched yourself to Finn and gave him so many kisses on his face. This flustered him so much he turned red. No words were uttered but from the hugs you both shared between you two expressed enough appreciation to each other. You two cuddled for a bit, wishing this moment could last forever but it didn’t when you suddenly remembered the plan you had in mind.
“Finn, what time is it already?” you asked him. “It’s already 4:35, why’d you ask?” He replied. You immediately get out of bed, already getting some formal clothes and heading to the bathroom. “H-hey! Where are you going?” “We’re going to the park, get dressed, Finn.” you shouted from the bathroom. He did what you instructed him. By the time you were done fixing yourself, he was done as well.
“You look absolutely stunning.” Finn commented. “You’re so sweet, thank you! Now let’s go before we get late.” As you walk with your boyfriend, Finn asks some questions on the way to the park, and you answer them. “Why are we going to the park? Is it a date, perhaps?” “You’ll see for yourself when we’ll get there.” “Then, I’ll be looking forward to it.”
By 6:00 p.m., you both got to the special part of the park where you two have picnics occasionally; however, this time, it was way different. Lights were flashing brightly, a picnic was already set with food along with rose petals around it, and flowers were blooming with the meaning of love. Finn was really amazed by the beautiful scenery in front of him. “Did you do all of this?” “Hahaha yep! I also got some help from Jack. I’ll thank him later.” you mentally in your mind to thank Jack tomorrow for guarding your favorite spot.
“It’s amazing, Orchid! But what’s the special occasion?” you cannot believe this gorgeous man had forgotten his own birthday. Maybe he’s pretending? “It’s your birthday, silly haha. Happy birthday, Finn!” What he said next put you in disbelief.
“Wait… is it my birthday today?” This made you cry a bit because he forgot his own birthday from working super hard to making flower arrangements in the shop. “Yes, it’s your birthday!” “I’m so sorry, I haven’t checked my phone since this morning! It was a busy day at the shop.” Even on his birthday, Finn is willing to fulfill his customers’ orders…
“But thank you for not forgetting it. This makes me really happy.” What Finn said made you look up to him. You can see him smile with tears of joy in his face. This really made you worry a bit, you reached your handkerchief and tried to tiptoe and wipe his tears. Small laughs were shared at that moment. After that, you both sat on the picnic cloth and just celebrated the night away.
“Happy Birthday, Finn! Now, make a wish.” you said after you lit up the candle on his cake. Finn closes his eyes for a bit before opening them and blowing the flame off the candle. You two then ate the food, especially the cake. The night was not so eerie and lonely anymore by the laughter you both shared. The very highlight of this night is that you two danced under the stars while vintage music was playing in the background.
“You know…” Finn started. “The wish I made—” “You don’t have to tell me or else it won’t come true!” you interrupted him before he could even tell you his wish. Finn softly laughed while shaking his head. “Actually, my wish came true. My wish was you, my love.” You become speechless from what he said. He continued, “You’re the greatest gift I could’ve asked for. You made me feel special and loved. I hope I could do the same for you, and I wish our love will last for a lifetime. They say if you told your wish to someone, it won’t come true but with you, I know we will last. I love you, my sunflower.” A hint of red spread across your cheeks from the confession. Finally, you both closed the gap between you two.
A kiss was then shared between two lovebirds under the stars.

A/N: Again, Happy Birthday to our beloved cottagecore boyfriend, Finn! Thank you for making us happy with your cute smile <33

Alright my friend wanted me to rant about Sodapack to the blog because they were worried about how it'd come out if they did it, so I'm doing this now!! They'd do a perfectly good job themself but whatever I guess smh /j /lh
Note: If you wanna ship Sodapack I will not be against it, do what you want, besides the content for them is really nice!! Back to the rant.
Anyway, Sodapack. I think it is a theoretically good dynamic that could’ve had a lot of really well done healing paired with it, so I understand why they’re a popular pairing. Soda Bottle’s apathy paired with Liam’s… I really don’t know, his silly guyness, is fun, and the idea of them helping each other recover is super neat!! However, in canon, I feel like it would be much healthier for both of them to cut connections with each other because they just fought. Constantly. Sure, couples and friends in general can fight, no relationship is perfect, but it is in every, single, episode except 14 and 15, and nothing changes each fight. In episode 14 they conflict anyway because Bryce literally just wants to pass on to the afterlife. Anyway, it’s the same fight over and over again, and neither of them are improving from this because they don’t want to. Liam really didn’t have any concern for Bryce’s well-being either.
Side note: Bryce is always the reasonable one, but because Liam is the protagonist and right about the notes, Liam is considered in the right. Sure love writing hahahahahh. /s
Liam guilt tripped Bryce several times using Amelia, who was just a minor amount of information that he got from yelling at Bryce through the door. That was most of what he remembered in concern to Bryce, information he could use against him. 
Liam didn’t care to ask anything about him, he didn’t even ask for Bryce’s name until Bryce said that he had one, expressing discomfort to being called Soda Bottle. He didn’t care a single bit about Bryce’s own well-being and life repeatedly even after Bryce mentioned it many times because Liam’s plans went against it. He didn’t care about Bryce’s life and just operated under the idea that Bryce would want this just as much as he would, assuming things based on himself. And that’s despite the fact that Bryce has told Liam that he doesn’t want to be involved many, many times. Liam just doesn’t care about what’s happening with Bryce, he just wants to stop Airy in his tunnel vision (which, as i have said before, is inconsistent). 
Bryce also doesn’t seem to particularly care about LIam, he just doesn’t want to be in the situation. Him telling Liam not go to the smokestack comes across as less of concern about that Liam could literally DIE and more of the fact that it is illegal. He talks about how this is dangerous and illegal but he’s mostly referring to himself in this situation and how it’s too far. He doesn’t want to get Liam to the smokestack at least because he doesn’t want to be Liam’s getaway driver and not because he’s concerned for Liam’s safety. That proves that him being worried about safety and it being illegal was mostly out of concern for himself. Neither of them actually care about each other. 
Bryce following Liam up the smokestack on the otherhand, could contradict this–But wait a minute! A contradiction? Hmm, maybe this was just a writing issue, weird how it seems to span across 4 episodes. /s
Anyway, I do think that it’s possible that Bryce literally just wanted his car keys back, but that would be an overstep. That scene can be a valid proof that Bryce does care about Liam, but considering everything else, it could potentially just be out of obligation because Liam is the only person with a way to stop Airy and a way to save Amelia. You can take this paragraph with a grain of salt however, I’m just suggesting some possible reasons. 
Liam then get’s them both killed which takes Bryce’s hard earned life away again after Bryce JUST SAID that he couldn’t afford to lose it again. Uhm. Good job Liam forrrr ruining Bryce’s life again whoohoo. I’m sure he’ll suffer consequences for it and Bryce will be upseOh nevermind theres episode 15.
Bryce then thanks Liam and suddenly cares about everyone on the plane despite not knowing any of them well and only caring about Amelia for 4 episodes straight. Fun actually, I’m glad to know that all the messed up shit Liam did was for “the greater good.” /s This episode is nice for Sodapack fans, but for people who cared a lot about their conflict and Liam being a fucking jackass, this episode was. Bad. Because every single thing Liam did, is now good!! He is now in the right for it and will suffer no consequences for guilt tripping Bryce. Liam stops being a jerk to Bryce because Bryce now completely wants to work with Liam on this and he no longer objects to Liam. Hmm. That sure is . Interesting. And definitely not sudden and badly written. /s
Now all of this isn’t to say that Liam isn’t irredeemable or a villain, he is just a very flawed person in part because he is traumatized and wants revenge out of rage. The issue is that he is not portrayed as wrong for anything he has ever done and will not get consequences for it. He did not deserve closure from Bryce and that doesn’t mean he couldn’t recover without it. I think Liam recovering and healing without Bryce and without closure would be substantially better and would send a good message. Being forgiven is not required for moving on and becoming a better person. Of course recovery isn’t a theme in the show in the first place, but I wish it was !!
Tl;dr Liam does not regret his harmful actions towards Bryce and will not get consequences for it, neither of them care about each other on a personal level, and most moments where it is shown, have flawed writing because of set up, or is it just badly written in general and doesn’t make sense. Sodapack is great in a theoretical setting, but not in a canon.
- Sun anon
it's honestly not surprising that the osc see the most unhealthy dynamic ever and think "they should kiss". you and your friend are so based about this.

Okay okay okay I wanna hear all about that next gen thing bc that is crazy dude how did that even happen omg
OH YES alright! This is gonna be another full-on Mona-rants-moment so strap in bestie!
I don’t know exactly when I started thinking about a HTTYD next gen, but it must’ve been somewhere around 2014, after I had watched both movies almost right after each other. Gotta confess, before watching HTTYD1 on a vacation to Germany as a little 10-almost-11-year-old, I thought it was a horror movie. Oops. I thought the same about Shrek, but now I unapologetically adore both of them.
So as little kids, me and my twin brother (let the record state, he’s younger than me. By four minutes. It’s a real thing) were absolutely obsessed with HTTYD. So much, that we would roleplay as dragons and – wheeze – HiccStrid’s potential twin kids. Oh, yeah, we were deep into it. We were so deep. We played out adventures and pretended to fly on our pretend dragons, whom we named Fly Fly and Toe Toe and they were, you are allowed to laugh, the kids of Toothless and a Whispering Death. My brother’s favorite dragons were the Whispering Deaths, and we were great at biology. Nope.
After that whole shabang, we went to middle/high school, my brother grew past his Dragons-phase, I stayed right where I was cuz ofc I did, and after meeting some new friends who were just as much into HTTYD as I was (one of them was the friend who gave my the nickname Mona and helped me with Of Thrones and Heirs!), we kinda created a new next gen based of what we thought was cool lmao. I couldn’t find a lot of information on that on my laptop, since most of it was handwritten or only spoken to each other – and tbh, I’m not really feeling up to checking my chats about it with one of those friends cuz I’m not friends with them anymore. But that’s okay, we have a lot more information for what came next!
I developed the next gen a bit on my own, I remember, still with some influences from the friends I had created the last version with. And for this one I still got a lot of details, so let me grab them for ya.
In this next gen, HiccStrid had five kids. Yeah, they be being busy. Zephyr and Nuffink got added a bit later, after I had seen THW, before that they only had the oc children I created as a lil 14-year-old. They had, in order, Zephyr Stormfly (20 y.o.), Nuffink Toothless (18 y.o.), Alischa Valka (14 y.o., aka, the main character), Stoick Finn (13 y.o.) and Lunette Ansfrid (3 y.o.). Oh yeah, that’s a mouthful.
Next to HiccStrid, back then I also shipped Heather and Fishlegs. Not sure if I still do now, but back then they had the following kids; Helen Windshear (19 y.o., she was Zephyr’s best friend), Fay Heather (16 y.o.), Veena Astrid (16 y.o., she and her twin sister were created by my friend I think), Beril/Hugo Oswald (13 y.o., not sure which of the two names. All I know is that he was Stoick’s bestie).
To the more… complicated part, young me put some drama into this next gen by making a divorce plot. So what I thought was cool (and because I didn’t really like Snotlout back then. Very stupid, he’s the kingest of kings), was the idea that Snotlout and Ruffnut had a son right after THW after a one-night-stand (Thorvald Hookfang, 21 y.o., all I know is that he had a huge crush on Zephyr). After that, they tried to make things work, but they didn’t, and they did a divorce thing. After that, Ruff went with Eret and had twins, Audun Eret (19 y.o., he’s the guy I wrote down as the Gustav of the next gen lmao) and Hialti Ruffnut (19 y.o., I don’t think she had a very good life). Meanwhile, Snotlout had a daughter with Minden, Ylva (13 y.o., she had a crush on Stoick).
Tuffnut had two kids with some chick, Annika Macey (19 y.o., she and Nuffink were in love or something) and Kjell Lloyd (19 y.o., I don’t know shit about him).
For the rest, I only had kids for Dagur and Mala cuz oh yeah they were a thing. Don’t think I really shipped them, but they were fun to include. Their kids were Ingrid Heather (16 y.o., I literally don’t know anything about her), Oswald Dagur (5 y.o.) and Siri Mala (3 y.o., the first Siri! I don’t know anything about her).
So that was that next gen. Alischa was the main character, she later got a whole fledged out story involving Grimmel’s grandkid, Arcum (who she got a crush on ofc, I basically redid the whole “enemies to lovers” thing I loved doing in Of Thrones and Heirs), while trying to prove herself to her overprotective dad Hiccup, finding the Hidden World and the Night Lights in the process. She bonded with Toothless’ daughter, Safire, which would’ve been pretty cute.
That whole thing was pushed aside in favor of Siri in December 2019, unfortunately. While I did try to recreate the next gen several times (I am still figuring out what the actual fuck I wanna do with ships in the original cast and who would have kids and who wouldn’t. All I know is HiccStrid has Zephyr and Nuffink cuz that’s canon and Tuffnut is aroace and the cool uncle. For the rest… man, I don’t know. I love FishLout, I love RuffLegs, I love the idea of Minden and Snotlout, I wanna see Snotlout with a daughter, etc etc. I just don’t know anything lmao), things never really stuck, as I was in the height of creating Siri’s story, and in addition, Niv’s story. Now I primarily wanna think about the next gen cuz I wanna give gussiri’s kids some friends pff
Like, at some point I tried to change up the entire next gen; I paired up Tuffnut and Heather (some weird idea from the friend I’m no longer friends with. I don’t know why), they had four whole kids (Dagny, Kyll, and Lloyd, who were triplets born in 1018, and Oswald Loki Chicken Sverd, yes, who was born in 1028). It was a weird move. I also cut down on Dagur and Mala’s kids, giving them only a daughter, named Hedvig, born in 1022. Zephyr (1018) and Nuffink (1021) still existed, but they no longer had any siblings. Lloyd and Zephyr were in love and it was very cute, and Hedvig and Nuffink had a thing going on.
Next to that, I removed the whole thing with Snotlout, Ruff, Eret and Minden, now Snotlout and Minden only had twins (Vidar and Ylva, born in 1021, Vidar wanted to become a wingmaiden). Eret and Ruff had a son named Sol (1023), which is very weird now, considering one of my best friends is named Sol lmao. Fishlegs had a son from a one-night-stand (Kjott, 1019), and the only reason for that is because the friend I’m no longer friends with didn’t like Fishlegs for his “disgusting” relationship with Meatlug. Glad I’m finally allowing to love this precious boy instead of being forced to go along with their opinions.
At this point, Sunniva and Helene didn’t exist as GusSiri kids, rather being replaced by a daughter named Funnet (1025) and a son named Agnarr (1028, Aggie and Oswald had a cute thing together). Niv did exist! I created him and he never changed, he’s just too much of a baby boy for that.
So yeah, that’s how it all shifted and turned over the years! I hope I can point my vision on trying to point down some good characters to be- WAIT A FUCKING SECOND
OH MY GOD I JUST FORGOT THAT I LITERALLY HAVE A DOCUMENT WITH MORE NEXT GEN STUFF THAT IS FAIRLY RECENT AND INCORPORATES INTO SOME STUFF FROM STARCHASER
FUCK LEMME LOOK INTO THIS REAL QUICK
Okay so turns out this is from 2021 and luckily for all of us it’s short and to the point so let’s get cracking. HiccStrid only had Zephyr Valka (1018) and Nuffink Stoick (1021), Snotlout had Vidar and Ylva (both 1019, idk who their other parent is), Dagur and Mala had Hedvig (1017), Ruffnut and Fishlegs had Reider Fishlegs (1018), Saga Meatlug (1023), Amund Tuffnut (1025), and Steinar Barf (1028). For the rest, nothing, and honestly, better, I don’t really wanna keep track of so many kids lmao. I’m not a daycare (read: has created a new oc last week)
Anyways, I think that’s all for now! Thank you so much for being so appreciated, I really appreciate it bestie <333 you’re amazing!!
