#It's that nerdy guy's adventurer dad from

[doctorprofessorsong]

carving deep blue ripples by dothraki_shieldmaiden @dothwrites (Explicit, 85k)

I am a sucker for Stanford Era Dean and a creature Cas fic, so this one feels tailormade to my interests.

Dean finds himself hunting alone after his Dad sends him away with the Impala. It was bad enough when Sammy walked out the door, but now his own Dad has sent him away. But Dean’s a hunter, so that's what he's gonna do. A chance encounter with Cas, another hunter, evolves into a partnership and, perhaps, if Dean can just let go, something more. But Cas has a secret that threatens to tear them apart.

This one has great mythology, top tier monsters and so much delicious pining. Dothraki_shieldmaiden manages to incorporate so much delicious canon into this adjacent fic that you will be gnawing at the walls. Seriously buckle up. It's a great ride.

Heavyweight by valleydean (emmbrancsxx0) @valleydean (Explicit, 206k)

Look, Mallory has the unique ability to write versions of Dean and Cas that crawl into your brain and set up residence, but these particular ones are just *chef's kiss* perfection. Deeply unwell over each other, off-putting and sometimes objectively terrible and yet I love them to my bones.

Set in the 1920s against the backdrop of the golden age of boxing, Dean is a light heavyweight champion looking to make his name in the heavyweights. But the reappearance of his secret ex, Cas, threatens everything. Cas left town under the cloud of a scandal. Left DEAN. And now he's back to try and restore his name.

The pining. The push and pull. There were times where I thought a happy ending was impossible but she did it. She really really did. There’s horny sparring. There are suits and fancy prohibition Era parties. There are VIBES. Seriously this one is just so freaking good.

When I Knew You by FriendofCarlotta and xfancyfranart @friendofcarlotta , @xfancyfranart (Explicit, 54k)

Time travel love stories are tricky and sometimes they hit for me (as you can probably guess from my name) while sometimes the don't. This one was an absolute homerun. Dean and Cas are both so deeply lonely and there is this sense of desperate intensity that is woven through the story that will male you feral.

Dean's working to try to put together the cracked pieces of his life after the one two punch of losing his dad and his business. But he's off to a rocky start when he learns that the prior owner of his new house died suddenly.

Even stranger, a shimmering light appears in his living room and suddenly he finds himself face to face with the guy, somehow having traveled to the past. In stolen moments, they discover that maybe happiness isn't as elusive as it felt. But the time is ticking. Can Dean save Cas from his fate, and if so, what will happen to them?

Dean Winchester and the Stolen Tupperware by MalMuses @malmuses (Explicit, 35k)

It's been a hot minute since this one came out and you may have already heard about it as a result, but this fic is just a fluffy, pure delight.

Cas is a single, nerdy professor whose idea of a wild Saturday night is watching dashing Dean Winchester, a real life Indiana Jones type adventurer archeologist, on YouTube. Dean is looking for some stability and just hoping to find a place to establish a career that doesn't involve constantly traveling. Sparks and awkward cuteness fly when they meet.

This one is perfect for a low angst love story. Also, Dean and Cas will make you deeply fond (and Meg in this fic can step on me).

Night at the Impala Theater by Speary @spearywritesstuff (Explicit, 52k)

It's difficult to explain what is so great about this fic without revealing more than I want to about the plot because there are some delightful and twisty bits. Suffice to say, it's a fun ride not just because of Dean and Cas, but the really fun side characters (Especially Rowena, my beloved, who is amazing and witchy).

The story revolves around Dean, a lonely guy running the family business - a historic movie theater he inherited from his Dad. But his life is changed when he finds a mysterious film series on his doorstep. The film noir flick follows a smoldering PI named Castiel. For some reason Dean can't get enough of the movies. And yet, all attempts to track down any information about the series is frustratingly bare. Where will his obsession lead? Not telling. Go read it. :)

torture is your name on my lips by theseancequeen @theseancequeen (Explicit, 4.6k)

This fun little one-shot smutty yet emotional fic explores a world where Demon Dean summons Cas after years of separation and they hook up while both lying about the depth of their feelings. It's a magnificent blend of angst, softness and need that ends on a deeply satisfying and surprisingly hopeful note.

Scorched Earth by AmberXBoone @amberxboone (Explicit, 155k)

Distraught over confirmation that his father intentionally started the fire that killed Mary Winchester (and nearly Dean and Sam), and then used his position as a police officer in a corrupt system to cover it up, Dean decides to give John a taste of justice by burning him in his home. He's a murderer and he fully expects to pay. But a chance meeting with burnt out DA Castiel Novak changes both of their loves forever and suddenly they have something to fight for. Can they take down the corrupt system or will Dean be locked away?

The plot of this fic alone is a ride. But what really brings this one home is the impeccable use of canon characters. I love these versions of them all so much. And it's truly a delight to see everyone join together to fight the corruption and save Dean (whether he deserves it or not cause he definitely doesn't think he deserves to be saved). The fic is also broken up into short chapters which makes it super readable if you are the type who picks things up for one scene and then puts it back down (could never be me I binged it like i was on fire myself but I admire it).

The premise is dark, but it's the light moments that make this fic really shine.

Somebody Tied You to an Ant Pile — miguel o’hara

ミ★ a Bullet fic on being in Highschool with a Miguel O’HottieHara

ミCONTENT: miguel o’hara x afab! reader. childhood friends to lovers. nerd/popular trope. messing around (r16). Inspired by blueastriz’s work on TT. 

read this as if i was a friend barging in ur inbox for a fic idea lmao. don’t take the formatting too srsly!

The cicadas rang their symphony in the hot summer air. It was time to part ways.

“You’ll text right?” An 11-year old Miguel O’Hara pouts, beside you on the swing. The sun was setting. A chapter was now closing.

You laugh, excited about the new adventure that came with moving homes, but you give him your biggest comforting smile. “Of course! You’re my best friend Miggy, we’ll even talk all night if you want to!” 

He pushes his glasses up his nose, pout still evident. 

You outstretch your hand, and he hands his over, interlacing each other. Stubby and sweaty children hands.

You gave his soft palms a gentle squeeze. “I promise. Nothing’s going to get in between us.” Your eyes beamed with hope.

Miguel gave a small smile and nods. “I’ll ask mama to buy me a phone.” 

- But that was 5 years ago and well, times have changed.

- But now you’re in Highschool as a popular kid!! 

- Mostly because you hung out with the mean girls 

- names? Stacy and Jane lmao 

- You though? you’re Nice, buuuutt you were also a bystander. Kid getting bullied? Not exactly your problem. 

- But when it mattered you spoke your mind and had a rbf so everyone stays away from your clique 

- You and Miguel go waaaayy back 

- Before you moved you were neighbors! 

- You and Miguel are childhood best friends 

- First grade at ur old school some bullies tied you and Miguel to an antpile

- You two were bonded ever since over red ant bites and swollen faces 

- Playing games together with the O’Hara brothers 

- Pulling stunts on his younger brother Gabri 

- Making messes everywhere

- And blaming Gabri lol 

- U guys were together EVERYDAY practically inseparable by the 6th grade. Never one without the other 

- Then you moved  u tried keeping contact but life kept u both busy, u guys just eventually stopped talking 

- Cue 10th grade! There is a new transfer student 

- U usually dont care, so u went a while without noticing this transferee 

- Then you saw someone getting picked on at lunch 

- U were studying the kid from afar - Jane saw u staring and teased u for it 

- Said his name was Miguel O’Hara. The newbie 

- “He’ll adapt soon enough.”

- DUH u remembered Miguel. He was ur grade school crush. And with his dorky glasses and thin frame, you STILL thought he was cute

- U wait for him out of his AP Science class 

- U creep behind him as he rummages through his locker and u shove him to get his attention 

- He was annoyed doe, “Ay mierda, you piece of shits took all my lunch money, I have nothing more-“ 

 - You grab hold of his shoulders and turn him around with the biggest grin on ur face lol 

- He is light as a feather and u were the same height lmao 

- He squints at you. “y/n?” 

- “Hola Miggy.” You laugh. 

- He is Shookt!! U went HERE?!?! 

 - U guys catch up going home, it was getting dark! U tease him abt the glasses, he teases u that ur a popular girl now 

- He is surprised,, to see u have such a big house now WOW ok 

- Ur family moved because ur dad got a better job offer and made much much more in the business

- U invite him in, he says his bro is waiting for him. U miss Gabri!! 

 - He is shookt when u say u have a pool PLS. U promise to invite him over next time

 - Gabri teases him ALL NIGHT LONG abt u, ur Miguel’s his gradeschool crush too, now he’s just happy to get back his friend 

- The next time someone bullies Miguel in front of u, its a jock who likes u, and u dont say much, so people are surprised u defend this nerdy new guy

- “Pick on someone your own size Archie. You get off hurting people smaller than you?” You call out from your seat on the table. 

 - Stacy backs you up. “Maybe he’s compensating for something.” She snickers. You make a puking sound. Everyone laughs.

 - Archie is embarrassed and leaves. 

- You flash Miguel a wink. He has to laugh. You stood up for him.

- Honestly, you guys don’t really interact at school. It was like teenage pride abt different social statuses and whatnot. You knew it would be bad for you and Miguel if you guys were seen together. 

- but u always wait for him on the days he has AP classes. 

- In return he walks you home. 

 - You both catch up. 

- Remember times like when you were both in grade-school, like the time his pants fell down while he was on the jungle gym. Or how you made a stupid amount of pastillas with him and had a sugar rush for days. 

- How your parents were now getting a divorce, and how yesterday he caught Gabri smoking Camels 

- Your girl friends have caught on. They wanna know the guy you were seeing. 

 - You had a stupid smile on your face all the time, of course it was a boy. 

- You couldn’t tell them of course, its social suicide 

- Once he came out of the AP Class early, you were confused 

- He said classes were cancelled 

- It was too early to go home, but it was too late to stay in school 

- He mentions that Gabri was at a friends house and that the house was empty 

- “Let’s get home before your mom does, yeah?” You say shakily, with a grin - You both obviously knew where this was going. 

- You both rushed to his house, nervous and clammy 

- “Is this your first time?” You ask with a nervous bite on your lips. “Yeah, yours?” He says, awkward fitting jeans doing nothing to hide pre-pubescent down there emotions. 

- “Mine too.” You mention nervously. “You’re shitting me.” 

 - “Don’t laugh!” You squeal throwing a pillow at him. 

- You didn’t know much about your body yet, and neither did Miguel, but his brown eyes were so captivating as he shuffled on top of you, sans glasses 

- It’s a normal thing now lol 

- Miguel actually ditches AP classes to mess around wit u 

- Esp with Gabri being out all the time 

- down bad fr 

- But it sort of goes like u need help also with homework after,, 

- So u learn??? because Miggy is such a smart cookie 

- U ACTUALLY LEARN 

- U learn each others bodies too atp so thats cute!! 

- It shows in ur grades lol 

- By then he is literally the only one ur messing around with 

 - But this one time: you both fall asleep after particularly tiring time alone 

- Sleep UNTIL DARK 

 - Conchata’s knock wakes u both tf UP 

- It’s impossible to hide u so u both settle for messily dressed and “We’re doing homework.” 

 - She doesn’t remember u at Miguel’s insistence lol 

- You awkwardly leave the house because she is NOT happy her son is bringing a girl home behind her back. Under the roof she pays for?!?! 

- “Do you even use protection mijo?” “…” “AY POR DIOS MIGUEL” 

- And well, now he gotta text his mom when u come over and Gabri gotta be there too 

- Gabri loves having u around, he geeks out with ur secret obsessions of comic books! It’s not really popular among your friend group, but you got really into it last year 

- Conchata doesn’t really approve of her son hanging out with a girl but “Ma I’m tutoring her.” And she rolls her eyes 

- You see it’s tense between mother and eldest son 

- You put a hand over Miguel’s after a harsh fight. “But you still love your mom don’t you?” 

- His eyes soften. 

- You have definitely pulled Miguel under the bleachers to make out once or twice 

- And you definitely have dragged him to empty supply closets lol 

- He’s down bad and a pretty girl just asked to blow him so is his 16 year old self gonna say no? 

 - Fuck no. 

 - You can’t keep ur hands to yourself lol 

- Plus you can see Miguel is slowly but sure changing. You gotta tiptoe now to kiss him WHAT 

- He also stares a LOT it gets you self conscious but he assures you your the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen. Followed by cupping your breasts and going “Have they always been this big?” Followed by you elbowing him 

- And who says sex ruins friendships?? It doesn’t! You and Miguel are closer than ever because of it 

- You know what does though? 

 - Love. 

- And you found that out when you cried yourself to sleep when Miguel said he was asked out by a girl to hang out in his AP Class 

- He said yes to her and he’ll hang out with you soon 

- But it’s always the same girl with him 

- Talking to him in class, during lunch, before, during and after AP Classes 

- Eventually he was halving his time with you and with her 

- They match well together, him and Xina Kwan. She was crazy smart and the same social status as him too. 

- She was sweet and smart and you have been avoiding Miguel like the plague in hopes it won’t wake up the vicious green monster 

- DAMN you were crying, mascara all over your face. 

 - It was the last day of school too urgh poor u. You wipe your tears as you wash you face on the school bathroom sink 

- Miguel had enough of u ignoring him tho so he walks up to you 

- While you were with ALL your popular friends around ur locker 

- And he asks if you wanted to walk home together 

 - He wasn’t really thinking, he just didn’t want u to avoid him anymore 

- You gave him a horrified look and ran away 

- And everyone laughed at poor heartbroken Miguel O’Hara

If this works out I’ll put out a fic for it. Hmu with thoughts!!

again, read this as if i was a friend barging in ur inbox for a fic idea lmao

Top 10 Choices books

This time, I actually managed to rank my favorite books. But don't expect this to happen again 😅

1. The Crown & The Flame: fierce female MC who's not only a queen but also a warrior, male MC that turns into a dragon, intricate adventure with lots of action, great characters (including LIs, side characters and villains) and didn't even need CG art to make the story compelling. Oh, how I miss PB's early years...

2. Ride or Die: I expected the worst from a book which MC is a nerdy teen getting involved with illegal car dealers and car races, but PB went there and made me eat my words. The outstanding plot, the amazing LIs and side characters, actual character development for MC and a beautiful open ending. All of that in one single book? Damn, PB ❤️

3. Hero: I'm not of big fan of super heroes stories, but this one has my heart with its interesting LIs and friends to MC, engaging plot and a villain that looks like he stepped out of Spiderman universe to enter Choicesverse.

4. Bloodbound: even though the two last chapters were absolutely traumatizing (and I will NEVER forgive what the writing team did to Jax and Lily), Bloodbound lore is really engaging, has some great action scenes, most likely the best NSFW scenes and wonderful LIs.

5. Perfect Match: I genuinely thought it was just a romance book. I was so wrong! PM has adventure, sci-fi, drama, comedy and gorgeous LIs. I love it!

6. The Heist Monaco: Smart and cunning MC, interesting and gorgeous LIs, awesome adventure/action/comedy plot and great side characters with some of the best group scenes.

7. It Lives Beneath: best horror book PB has ever written with choices that can drastically affect the ending. Plus, Tom is romanceable 😍

8. A Courtesan of Rome: because it's based on Ancient Roman History (and I love History), the storyline has some inconsistencies that bugged me sometimes, but MC is so awesome, and the LIs were so good that it was hard to choose and I nearly forgot Cassius wasn't this sweet, intellectual and idealistic guy the book makes him look like lol.

9. Mother of The Year: another book PB made me eat my words. I love a book with a fierce MC, wonderful LIs and a daughter so adorable and smart that even this millennial terrified of having kids was all heart eyes in the very first chapter;

10. High School Story: did I expect to be so invested in a story about a teenager having cheesy teenager problems during high school? No. But I was so freaking invested on this drama-free teen trilogy I was pissed when I found out the fourth book was actually a new story without my beloved MC and their hilarious dad and the original HSS LIs had very little relevance to the plot (But I forgive the writing team because of Skye ❤️)

Honorable mentions:

- Distant Shores: Pirate book, time travel and a heartbreaking ending. What's not to like?

- Blades of Light and Shadow: I have to admit I like the plot more than its characters, but also like playing with as an orc (even though the storyline didn't do justice to Orc MC on book one)

- Crimes of Passion: even tho I haven't finished playing it, I looooove a good mystery/thriller/horror book, it's great to play as an adult MC who's actually good at what they do and it's the only single LI book I played in which the LI is worth all the hype;

- Guinevere: also haven't finished playing it, but I love a good period book with a good dose of fantasy. Plus, Arthur is the sweetest;

- Desire & Decorum: NGL after book one, there were so many filler scenes on books two and three, but I was* too madly in love with my Ottoman Prince and liked 90% of the characters to give up on the story ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

*"was..." I said, as if Hamid doesn't live in my mind rent free since 2018... 😏

It's not the way you look, it's the way that you...

When Reggie texts Julie asking what she wears to bed, she has no idea what to think, or where the conversation will go from there.

On AO3!

So I saw this post and immediately thought: Rulie, this is so Rulie. So you guys get this little bit of nonsense, please enjoy!

Julie hummed along to the low music playing from her laptop, kicking her feet behind her while she doodled away. It was too early to go to bed, but too late to do much of anything else, so she was just wasting her time before she forced herself to sleep. She was honestly debating an ill advised late night PB & J when her text alert sounded, and she grabbed her phone.

Reggie: What do you wear to bed?

Julie’s eyebrows flew up-where had that come from? Sure, Reggie was a flirt, and she flirted right back, but neither of them had pushed for more than that, content to stay flirty friends and writing partners whenever Reggie got the itch to pen some country songs. Would Julie like for them to be more? Maybe, but after she and Nick had blown up, then she and Luke had fizzled out, she wasn’t sure she wanted to risk another friendship.

But if Reggie was out of the blue starting what felt like a sexy conversation? Well Julie was cool playing along to see where it went.

Julie: Black lacy bra and booty shorts ;)

She was not, of course, wearing either of those things, but there was no way Julie was telling Reggie she was wearing floral jammie pants and a Sunset Curve shirt she may or may not have stolen from him. Plus it was fun to imagine just how flustered Reggie was in seeing her text. She bet he turned as crimson as his favourite flannel. Making him blush was half the fun of flirting back honestly.

She held her phone a little tighter as the three little dots appeared, then disappeared, back and forth, until finally Reggie’s next text appeared.

Reggie: k, but what about when it’s cold?

do you wear warm pajamas?

MeeMaw is making me get rid of my X-men jammies, and they’re about your size.

Julie sat up at that. While her mother had gotten her into music, her dad had gotten her into comics. It wasn’t an interest she widely published, but she loved reading the adventures and exploits of superheroes, particularly the mutants of the Marvel universe. People gifted with unique abilities and despite the world hating them for these gifts, choosing to help humanity rather than fight against them. While America Chavez was her go to cosplay, a part of Julie’s heart would always belong to Professor X and his gang.

Reggie had come across her reading the comics one day, and instead of teasing her, he enthused over the title she was reading, and showing her his own collection. His favourite was Nightcrawler, and Reggie had gotten her all the copies of Excalibur he owed, with Julie coming to really love the fuzzy blue guy.

So she knew exactly which pajamas that Reggie meant-ones with a hoodie that looked like Nightcrawler’s uniform and flannel pants that were covered in the X-man logo. She had coveted them for forever, Reggie looked so comfy and snuggly in them when he wore them to band slumber parties, and Julie wanted that level of comfort while repping her nerdy side.

She then saw another text from Reggie and melted a little as she read it.

Reggie: i swear they’re not gross or anything, they’re clean, but i can wash them again if you want, i know you like them

Julie: Yes please!

Reggie: cool, I’ll bring them next comic book day?

Julie sent a thumbs up in reply. Every Thursday they walked to a local comic shop to pull their new titles, check out new stuff, and occasionally splurge on a figurine or Funko Pop, with Reggie proclaiming that one day their band would be big enough that they would be here, immortalized in vinyl for fans to buy. Julie hoped he was right.

She glanced over to her phone again, at the sweet gesture Reggie had made, and decided fuck it, throwing the chat log up on her tumblr page, no caption or tags, and left it, browsing a few other sites before calling it a night, not even thinking about it before she slept.

Only when Julie awoke, her phone screen was full of notifications. Messages and reblogs with shouty tags from her friends and followers on tumblr.

Smashley: Girl if you aren’t dating this guy, I will!

Katie-Cakes: #marry this guy now #nothing says i love you like x-men

Jo-Jo-Jo-Your-Boat: #any guy who buys you i was thinking of you gifts #is worth at least a smooch #if not a date

Inn_Your_Wildest_Dreams: Please tell me you said yes to the jammie guy and he asked you out immediately after

Jaybird: #not where i thought this was going at first #too adorable for words #relationship goals #you guys are going to be in a relationship right? #cuz i’m shipping it like crazy

There were countless more, all along the same trend; she needed to date Reggie.

Julie worried her bottom lip, unsure. Yes, Reggie was sweet, she knew they had some chemistry from their play flirting, and had a lot of similar interests. And it wasn’t like Reggie was hard on the eyes either, with his punk style and classic good looks. But it was still Reggie!

Reggie who made her laugh so hard she snorted in a totally undignified way. Who indulged her love of romantic comedies while she sat through his sci-fi favourites. Who encouraged her to branch out musically, and their country songs were pretty darn good as a result, even if her fiddle playing was still less than stellar. Who shared his desserts with her at lunch time, his comics whenever he came across a storyline she might like. And now, here he was, offering her something he had treasured just because he knew she would like it.

Julie touched her cheeks, feeling the burn against her palm, the way her smile was stretching her cheeks. “Oh God, I like Reggie,” she whispered to herself. Sure she had thought along the same lines before, but now she felt like it might be time to throw caution to the wind and act on it, reservations about what this would do to their friendship be damned.

Now what was she going to do about it?

Julie pulled up her conversation with Reggie once more, and looked over the words from the night before, and at her growing tumblr notifications. And maybe her thumbs started moving all on their own.

Julie: I put our convo from last night on the internet!!!

Reggie: Wha??

Julie: I put it on tumblr! You should see the response!!!

Reggie knew of tumblr, that Julie knew, but he confessed that social media wasn’t really for him. “I prefer my technological advancements to stop in the 1990’s,” he had quipped, and Julie had laughed, telling him he had been born in the wrong decade.

“Plus you run the band’s Insta page!”

“Yeah, photos I get, I did all Sunset Curve’s promo stuff,” Reggie admitted. “And Insta is way easier than making posters. But blogging and stuff ain’t my jam.”

Reggie: isn’t tumblr an art site?

Julie: Yeah sort of

But also not really

It’s complicated Anyways, my post got a huge response

Reggie: shit

Oh no, Julie instantly panicked. What if Reggie came to the same conclusion as all her followers and was about to let her down easy? Or get mad at her for putting it up without his permission? Sure she had blacked out his name, but still… those were his words, unfiltered for anyone to see.

She was about to offer to take the post down when Reggie texted her again.

Reggie: i lied to millions on the internet-MeeMaw isn’t making me get rid of my jammies, she thinks they’re adorable

I got the same pair for you at target

They were on sale though

No they weren’t, that’s another lie

I’m sorry tumblr

Can they see this now??

Julie giggled, kicking her feet in the air. Oh gosh he was just too adorable! She didn’t care that the pajamas he wanted to offer her were second hand-that way they would already be that comfy sort of worn, plus they would smell like Reggie, and that boy always smelled nice, unlike many of his counterparts. Reggie knew what soap was, and how liberally to apply aftershave-aka the tiniest dose of something woodsy, not the litre of Axe that Nick favoured, or the eau of body funk Brett from Economics wore.

Still, Julie needed to reassure Reggie. Even if this follow up was so going up as well, but at least this time he’d get some warning.

Julie: Nope!

I’ve gotten a bunch of messages telling me to marry you though

Julie held her phone tight after that as the three little dots telling her Reggie was typing appeared and disappeared, and she was seriously cursing their existence. Maybe she should call him, laugh it all off, go back to their norm.

Reggie: we could start with coffee?

can i pick you up sunday at ten?

Julie: You can pick me up in an hour if you like

Reggie sent her back a wide smiling selfie with him giving her a thumbs up and she squealed before scrambling to get ready.

“Julie?” her dad asked from the hallway. “Are you okay? I heard screaming!”

“Fine papi!” Julie called as she dashed for the bathroom. “I’ve got a date!”

Ray smiled to himself, and it grew when he heard Julie start to sing as the shower started. A country song if he wasn’t mistaken, and he wondered if he should brush off his shovel talk for Reggie or just confess he had been waiting for this day for a long time instead.

Only when Reggie rang the doorbell just about an hour later, Ray didn’t say anything, the boy looked nervous enough, clutching the stem of a single red dahlia in his hands, his smile not as brilliant as it usually was. Ray clapped him on the back, squeezing his shoulder. “She’ll be right down mijo, you want anything while you wait?”

Reggie shook his head, but blew out a breath and turned to Ray. “I really like her, you know. I would never do anything to hurt her.”

“I know,” Ray replied, sipping from a glass of water. “I’m sure it’s the same for her. Just remember to be kind to one another, and to stay friends, no matter what else you may or may not become to one another.”

There was thundering footsteps down the stairs, and Julie appeared in the kitchen doorway. She was in a sundress with puff sleeves, decorated in peach coloured flowers, her curls down and shiny. “Hi,” she said to Reggie, looking and sounding almost shy.

“Hi,” he said back, shaking himself and offering her the flower. “You look really pretty.”

Julie took the bloom and stuck her nose into its petals in an effort to hide her blush. “You clean up pretty nice too,” she finally said. Reggie gave a mock twirl, showing off his khakis and black polo.

“Figured I should put in some effort,” he said. “You ready to go? I thought we could enjoy our coffee on a walk in the park, maybe catch a light lunch after that?”

“I’d like that,” Julie said, handing her flower off to her dad as she took Reggie’s arm. “Bye papi, I’ll be back later!”

Ray waved, but watched from the window as Reggie helped Julie into his truck and bit back a smile as he saw Reggie hand Julie a bag, which she laughed out loud at when she opened, pulling out a weird looking hoodie. Kids these days, he’d never get them.

It wasn’t until he was heading off to bed that night that he had a chance to catch up with Julie. Who was wearing the weird hoodie he had seen a flash of earlier, and pajama pants he had never seen before, but recognized the logo of. Ray couldn’t help but grin at seeing Julie indulge the nerdy side he had nurtured in her. He wondered if Reggie got them for her, given his own love of comics. If so, that definitely made him a keeper.

“Good date?” he asked slyly.

Julie looked up at him, and sighed. “The best.”

“Going on another one?” Ray asked.

“Papi,” Julie whined with an eyeroll. “Yes, we’re going to check out this little farmer’s market tomorrow, and then maybe do a little window shopping on the boardwalk.”

“Sounds like fun,” Ray said. “You two seem good for each other. I’m glad you gave him a chance.”

Julie grinned, and hugged herself. “Thank the internet.”

Ray shook his head at that. He would never understand his daughter-or the internet. So he wished her goodnight and went off to bed.

It wasn’t until many years later, when Reggie and Julie were visiting for the holidays during winter break and they were sporting matching pajamas that he even got the full story. And well, Ray still didn’t get it, but he had to admit, they made a pretty cute couple. Especially when they posed for a photo later, still in their matching jammies, but with Julie’s brand new engagement ring shining on her finger.

Do you have any manga recommendations?

Oh yes! Yes I do! I have a lot of recommendations, actually! I'll put it in keep reading because this post is gonna be loooooong.

Slice of life/Seinen manga:

Hirayasumi: story about a young ex-actor who inherited a little house from one of his only friends, an old lady he met by random.

Skip to Loafer: country bumpkin meets city guy, but this time it's a deep exploration about teenagehood, what it means to work towards your dream, and the complex social situations teenagers have to deal with besides just romance.

Shiori Experience: bumbling English teacher Shiori gets haunted by the ghost of Jimi Hendrix. Because of that, she needs to rise to stardom before she's fully 27 as that will be when she dies. (Fantastic art work, amazing paneling, highly recommend!)

Wonder Cat Kyuu-chan: cute, relaxing 4koma about a smart and competent little cat and his easygoing owner.

Embrace Your Size: autobiography about the artist growing up in a very fatphobic Japan. A short, sweet read. CW: eating disorders, fatshaming.

Yotsubato!: a true slice-of-life manga about a single father and his adopted daughter and their day-to-day escapades.

Sweetness and Lightning: another manga about a single father and his daughter, but this time centers around the dad learning how to cook for his kid now that his wife passed away.

Hakumei to Mikochi: story about a race of little people living in the woods among anthropomorphic animals. Amazing worldbuilding and attention to details.

Romance manga:

A Bouquet for an Ugly Girl: sweet but self-deprecating "ugly" girl meets sunshine puppy dog guy. A story less about changing ones' appearance and more about gaining self-confidence.

The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn't a Guy At All: cute story about a preppy girl having a meet cute and developing a crush on the nerdy girl in class, but she thought she was a cool emo guy at first.

Fantasy Bishoujo Juniku Ojisan to: genderbend isekai, but it's actually very gay and very good! Can't say much else, but the comedy is on point and the two leads are super closeted it's insane.

Majo-Senpai Nichijou: in a modern fantasy setting, a businessman falls in love with the witch in his department. A very sweet romance.

Ajin-chan wa Kataritai: another modern fantasy setting where a school teacher finds out that his school has several fantasy creatures as students. Has a really nice romantic build up (not with the students) and cool worldbuilding.

Beware of the Villainess!: actually a manhwa about a woman who got reincarnated into a villainess of some pretty sketchy romance novels. Sick of all the horrible male leads, she sets off on her own to make a life for herself.

Action/Adventure manga:

Kuutei Dragons: a massive, expansive world that has a culture in dragon hunting. Fantastic worldbuilding, creature art, and character writing.

Dungeon Meshi: an adventure party has to travel deeper into the dungeon to rescue the male lead's sister who was eaten by a dragon. Another manga with amazing worldbuilding and character/creature art.

Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi: normal guy gets isekai'd, but he's not a hero at all. He's just a dude whose skill is grocery shopping online and he gets roped into cooking for mythical creatures somehow.

Mairimashita! Iruma-kun: human boy gets adopted by devils and gets sent to devil school. Actually really sweet!

Natsume Yuujinchou: human boy who can see spirits receives a book of names from his late grandmother. Names have power, and those names belong to spirits who would do anything to get them back.

One Piece: top best selling manga of all time that's been going since 1997. It's still good, believe it or not.

Gintama: another old classic. One of the funniest gag manga I've ever read, though sometimes the jokes get too rambly but that depends on your taste. Aliens have invaded Edo Japan and almost all samurai have been wiped off the face of the Earth!

I have so many others I'd like to recommend, but for now I hope you'll find something good among all I've listed.

lukas question for you- do you think he knows that he's autistic? I don't know... anything about how developmental disorders are viewed/diagnosed in sweden and I'm torn between he knows/was diagnosed at a young age and doesn't talk about it or tell anyone, knows and will casually use it to get people to underestimate him (or anything else he wants), or genuinely doesn't know and thinks he's just a weirdo coder who wasn't socialized enough

I think Lukas got diagnosed pretty young - he took longer to start talking than the other children, got upset around large groups of people, had a narrow area of interests and had a lot of sensory issues around clothing. Being autistic is something he’s always been aware of and Swedish schools a pretty good with providing extra support to neurodivergant children so he didn’t feel “different”. I imagine his mum and dad were pretty good at making sure he had coping strategies and socialised so he wasn’t labelled the “weird kid” at school. Then his dad died and everything went downhill and Lukas spent all his time in his bedroom with his computer so when it came time to interact with people, he really struggled and started getting picked on. A teacher suggests that the annual summer coding camp would be good for him but Lukas is adamant he doesn’t want to go until his mum bribes him with some new computer parts. The first two days are awful and he hates it but then he meets Oskar and despite the other teen being very loud, Lukas finds it surprisingly easy to make friends with him. He’s very upfront about being autistic which doesn’t seem to phase Oskar, even when his new friend comes across as a bit of an oddball the more time they spend together. Then he’s got his own little gang of nerdy friends much to the relief of his mother, even if all they ever seem to do is talk about coding. 

Most of Team GoJo are computer nerds so it doesn’t matter if Lukas talks solidly for ten minutes straight about some random piece of code because everyone else is just as interested in it as he his. Nor does anybody care that the CEO wanders around barefoot because shoes and socks give him sensory overload or that he often comes across as “odd”. Being autistic isn’t something Lukas ever tries to hide or see’s as a weakness - his brain just works a bit differently to other peoples. 

It’s when the company starts growing and he has to deal with people outside of the GoJo bubble that being autistic is seen as being something he needs to hide. Suddenly the expensive PR person they hired is muttering about Lukas coming across as “weird” and wants to remove all his usual coping strategys to make him fit in more with “normal” society.  

You can’t wear sweatpants to a finance meeting because it won’t send the right message. You usually leave all the social stuff to Oskar to deal with? Sorry, thats not how it’s done so you better get out there and pretend you know how to relate to people. You need to stim because you’re having sensory overload? Yeah, you can’t do that anymore because you look like a freak. 

After five months of this and Lukas being so burnt out that he spends almost a week in bed they fire the PR guy and decide to do their own thing. Between them Oskar and Lukas devise a system so that if Lukas is getting overwhelmed or not hitting the right social cues, the other one can step in and redirect. It works pretty well over the years and they’ve got the whole “elusive foreign billionaire” schtick down to an art form, with everyone thinking Lukas disappearing from parties early is because he’s off on a hedonistic adventure but in reality he’s leaving so he can go to bed because masking is exhausting and he’s in danger of autistic shutdown. 

Then Lukas sets his sights on America and the Roy Family empire and Oskar is surprised he makes it out alive because it’s months of talking and trying to understand the social norms of a country that’s so different from their own and with a bunch of people who seem in desperate need of therapy. At first it’s fun making up fake stories and dropping little nuggets of information for Team Roy to dig up but it quickly becomes apparent that Lukas is going to have to suppress his autistic tendencies if he’s going to get the deal he wants. There’s no way Logan Roy would even entertain speaking to GoJo if he knew that there was something “wrong” with Lukas so whatever previous mentions there were of him being autistic get burried. 

Then Logan snuffs it and Lukas is stuck with a presidential race, Succession Bowl and the Roy siblings infighting. Oh, and his crush telling him he hates him whilst perched on top of a rock. Now he’s got to drag Team GoJo back to America whilst simultaneously figuring out which of the CEO candidates is going to be the least irritating to deal with. The Kill List is fun because he already knew who he was keeping but it’s fun to watch them all flapping around in a panic and trying to get on his good side. 

However it’s exhausting having to pre-plan all his social interactions, even down to the facial expressions he’ll use, and try and remember how to act with each individual person. Sometimes it goes fine but most of the time Lukas experiences an overwhelming sense of physical exhaustion to the point where he keeps trying to brush off Shiv and her insistence that he attends every party on the roster. He’s having more difficulty managing his emotions than usual and is prone to outbursts of anger and waves of intense anxiety. His stimming is off the charts, as is his increased sensitivity to sensory input, and he’s even more insistent on everything being his way due to struggling with all the change thats happening. 

Then the deal finally goes through and Lukas hides out on his private island for a month to recharge, barely getting out of bed or looking at his phone until Oskar comes to rouse him for the first WayStar/GoJo team retreat. 

So in short, yes I think Lukas knows he's autistic and is pretty chill about telling people but as times goes on he becomes a bit more guarded with who he tells and how much he tells them. For instance Oskar knows all his safe foods and can easily tell when he's masking but Tom will only ever know that the reason Lukas doesn't like wearing shoes is because he's got big feet.

👀 (any dndads au you feel like sharing, lovebird! hope you're having a wonderful day btw 💜💜💜)

Hehehehe HIII HAPPI <3 I am having a wonderful day tysm!! :D I hope you are too <3

I'm trying to think abt if I have any aus that you don't already know about BWCEUAHAHAAH and im not sure how much you know abt the most recent one I've made

OOOH I have got this one fantasy AU I haven't touched in a while but I think would be really fun to revisit sometime! <3

The idea is that there's this ancient curse that's been unleashed on the land creating this magic rot that's slowly been devouring forests, towns, and eventually maybe even whole kingdoms! The rot can overtake animals and people, warping them into dangerous mirrors of their past self, this AU's take on doodlerization. the sauce if you will <3

Taylor is a member of the royal court of the Kingdom of Hell (son of the first prince Nick) and Link is his loyal guard and bestie who keeps him from dying in their shenanigans and escapades. They have a silly goofy, I've known you my whole life and I will die to protect you bc you're the person dearest to me also ur a dumbass who's stupid as fuck, energy going on <3 friends to dumbasses to lovers <3

Normal is a regular villager who recently happened to score an apprenticeship with the castle healer! Apparently his dad knew someone in the court and managed to pull some strings, wonder what that's all about. (spoiler alert: its pretty important and he's also secretly royalty but doesn't know it)

Scary is an amateur witch <3 She saw her mom start dating the castle wizard and was like FUCK THAT GUY AND HIS STUFFY BOOKS. BET I COULD DO THAT BUT BETTER AND COOLER AND LESS NERDY. So she's been sneaking off to practice magic with rudimentary materials and a few nicked things Terry left around their cottage.

Turns out Scary has a natural talent for certain parts of magic because she accidentally stumbles upon a prophecy outlining the world's possible end unless a certain group of people go to the ruins of a lost kingdom to stop the rot. And when she finds out who those people are she's like FUUUUUCK. bc now she's gotta find a way to sneak into the castle to somehow find these losers, one of which is apparently a PRINCE !! and then they've all gotta go out and not die on an adventure or else EVERYONE'S gonna die. and like she can't be bothered but also ig it would be kind of cool to shove it in her stepdad's face that she's more awesome than him and saved the world so. off she goes!

Hermie's the second prince who is often overshadowed by his older half brother. He happens to overhear the group talk about the prophecy around the time they're preparing to leave and tags along to prove his worth to his dads and also have people pay attention for him for once goddamn !!!!! also the healer boy is kinda cute <3

Cue super fun goofy and exciting magical fantasy quest !!! Secrets are revealed! Bonds are formed! Possible corruption? MAYHAPS! Also where even ARE the ruins of the kingdom of Oakvale no one seems to have heard of it at all! All while the rot continues to spread....

#ask #happi-tree #cal rambles #dndads #hehehehe thank you so much for indulging me <3333 #i know i took a little bit to respond sorry abt that <- i tried thinking abt aus to talk abt then i fell asleep and had to do hw #you know all my big ones already n lately ive mostly been scheming w/ nyx abt aus so im hesitant to call them my own without mentioning them #so my brain blanked i was like Uh.

Mickey and Pavan, Blaise Shepard's dads. I actually came up with them before I designed Blaise! I wanted a good solid backstory for my new Shepard. More info about these two cuties under the cut!

Blaises’ parents

In their first years, Blaise was raised by single dad Michael 'Mickey' Shepard, an English born space faring pansexual muscly man who left earth as soon as he could. They hopped across systems on various ships, Mickey working in security and logistics. Moving around all the time wasn't necessarily ideal with a littl’un but he made it work as best he could and made sure Blaise was never wanting for love and affection. Blaise certainly learnt to be a tough lil cookie very quickly, and was also exposed to a lot of different cultures/species etc. Mickey is a great big teddy bear of a man who likes coloured ringbinders, flowcharts and big fucking shotguns (OSHA approved). A fierce protector that loves to snuggle, protec, and tick checklists. Blaise's egg donor Genevieve was a troubled lady; she'd escaped extremely repressive religious parents and was having a reckless period in her life- lots of drink, drugs and partying, hopping from ship to ship doing odd jobs. She had a fling with Mickey, ran off one night without so much as a goodbye, then turns up 8 months later like 'yeah I was in denial but um babies coming. help!' (at some point during the pregnancy, she was also exposed to eezo, hence Blaises biotics). She was not prepared to be a mum but knew Mickey was kind hearted and couldn't bring herself to not at least let him know before she gave Blaise up for adoption. Mickey asked if he could raise Blaise, Genevieve agreed on condition she could sign away parental rights and he wouldn't contact her, which he honoured. Genevieve spiralled for years, BUT finally cleaned up and started training properly in transport/supply logistics. She settled down- on Mindoir. Blaise knew connecting with her was never going to be an option, but mourned for the loss of a person who had shown strength and growth, when they later learned of Genevieves fate.When Blaise was 6 Mickey landed a job working for a comm company, where they could stay on the one same ship that flew around the Terminus and outer systems fixing comm bouys and networks on various stations, sattelites and planets. Still dangerous given the amount of pirates and such in that region, but for the first time they could really settle in and make a home on board. This is where Blaise developed a taste for alien found family- the crewmates are all different species and were all their aunties and uncles.

A few months later the crew welcomes Pavan, software and tech specialist in comm networks, follower of Urvine, god of paths and journeys, and extremely gorgeous drell. Pavan is an adorable nerd who’s frill flutter and expand when he gets talking about systems analysis. He left Kahje as a teenager as soon as he got his qualifications, not content with the limits of the planet, and mourning the loss of his older sister who died during compact duties. In his spare time, Pavan offers tech support to a non profit that helps drell who decide to move off Kahje and form their own colonies. He isn’t strictly anti hanar, but feels the compact and the relationship has reached a point that is stifling drell independence and growth.

Mickey and Pavan, both being nerdy guys that are sticklers for details and a passion for exploration and adventure (as long as it complies with health and safety standards!) quickly fall head over heals for each other. Pavan finds himself besotted with the adorable little Shepard family, and when he and Mickey get married Pavan adopts Blaise according to the rights of Arashu. Blaise also takes on the old gods as their religion and immerses themselves in drell family traditions. Pavan feels Urvine guided him to a path to find this family and lead him to Mickey. He love Blaise completely as though they were their own child, no question. They are a sickeningly adorable family.

Finally got these guys' official refs done(technically finished this the other day, but didn't have time to upload before work)! :D After first sketching their concepts a few months ago(minus Zaira, who was already made), I finally got around to figuring out everyone's colors and especially in the boys' cases, their personalities and such!

I hope you like them! ^w^ Here is all of their bios again, just-in-case!

================================================

- Zaira Oldest child and daughter of Mai and Callum. She's a kind of awkward and nerdy girl, but she is very passionate with a big heart and energetic nature when she's in her element. She has some slight healing powers as inherited from her dad, Callum, though is nowhere near his level of power. In terms of regular talent though she can play the saxophone, specifically tenor sax, as she's a pretty prominent member of her school's marching, wind ensemble, and jazz bands. Despite her more Chinese heritage, even if she herself is only a 1/4 Chinese, she's actually a huge fan of Japanese culture. She's a bit of an otaku in that aspect, having gone to quite a few anime and cosplay conventions, with her favorite manga/anime being Sailor Moon. Aside from her siblings she is quite close with her cousins too, especially Vera as they have similar interests in magical girl and romance animes and often go to conventions together. - Hannah Second child and daughter of Mai and Callum. She is a kind-hearted and total firecracker of a girl, who always tries to help out with any problems but tends to get in more trouble with her reckless nature and random powers. These powers are inherited from Callum, being luck-based but more random, with her also being able to summon things that can be helpful in whatever situations she is in. She is a very outgoing and honest person, always up for a fun adventure, but she is not without her own insecurities. As a younger child a lot of them were centered around her dyslexia, as she had a lot of reading and learning difficulties that made it hard for her to feel like she was on an even learning field with her peers. Though she has received plenty of tutoring and help since her diagnosis to perform better than she had before, there are still moments where she struggles and feels like she can't measure up to her classmates' levels. - Porter Third child and oldest son of Mai and Callum. The only child seemingly without any sort of powers, but he tries not to dwell on that fact too much. Comes off as the most responsible and "sane" one of his siblings, often acting as the voice of reason that tries to pull them back when they go to far with something. Generally regarded as a good, studious "golden child" by his peers and adults alike, but truth be told he has a quiet wild and rebellious side deep down. Always bottles up his more negative feelings inside, causing him to come off as quite scary when he finally does unleash his emotions. Gets along greatly with his "Aunt" Alana, as she also knows what he goes through is like and often encourages him to just be his own best self. Perpetually exasperated by his cousin Korey's antics, often having to calm himself from starting a fight when all the cousins are hanging out together. - Westley "Wes" Youngest child and son of Mai and Callum.

Holier Than Thou (part 3)

Eddie Munson x femReader

Warnings: swearing, smoking

-

Y/n sat at the dingy cafeteria table, picking at the lunch on her plate. She sat in the far corner of the room with three other students who were particularly quiet as well. None of them ever talked to each other, they just accepted that each of them wanted to have lunch without interruption. 

Sometimes Y/n did want interruption though. She wanted to escape the cafeteria and go on an adventure when she should be in school, maybe drive a few towns over and cause some trouble where no one knew her name. She knew she would never do this. Not because she didn't want to, of course, but because of the fear of her father finding out. 

“Get up.” Eddie was standing over her, his usual smirk plastered onto his face.

“What?” Y/n questioned, but still stood up warily.

“Come on.” Eddie grabbed her backpack and slung his arm around her, leading her through the cafeteria. “You’re sitting with us today.” 

Eddie ushered Y/n to a table with two empty chairs, the rest filled by guys wearing Hellfire shirts. When Eddie approached with Y/n, they stared at her like she was from a different planet, which, to many of them, girls may as well have been from a different planet. 

“Gentlemen, this is Y/n. Y/n, this is the Hellfire Club.” Eddie announced with a grin, pulling out a chair for Y/n to sit in.

A chorus of “hi” and “hello” sounded throughout the table.

“Dude, I can't believe you got a girl to sit at our table.” A curly haired boy said, then continued to Y/n, “Hi, I’m Dustin Henderson.” 

“Nice to meet you, Dustin.” Y/n smiled back at him, unable to resist his cheerful nature. 

“Hey, you’re the preacher’s kid, right?” Another asked.

“Uh, yeah...” Y/n replied hesitantly. 

“The preacher’s kid at the Hellfire table. Who would've thought?” Another kid with dark hair added.

Y/n sat uncomfortably for a few seconds before Eddie started speaking again.

“Where were you this morning?” He asked. Y/n had been missing from their science class this morning due to an untimely car problem.

“My dad’s car wouldn't start so he made me stay behind to look at it.” 

“You’re into mechanics?”

“A little bit. I’m not an expert by any means, but I can work my way around a car. Did we get our grades back?” Y/n wondered as today they were supposed to receive the grades on their presentations. 

“I was just about to tell you about that.” Eddie spoke regretfully, making Y/n furrow her brows in confusion, her eyes going wide. “We didn't do very well.”

“What? But we did everything right. I mean, we followed the rubric to a T and-” Y/n started to ramble before Eddie cut her off.

“I’m kidding.” Eddie said before retrieving a piece of paper from his backpack “Boys, and girl,” Eddie added with a glance at Y/n, “Today is a day to remember. We got a 100 on our science project.”

-

Two weeks had passed since the day Eddie had decided Y/n would sit with him at his lunch table. Y/n and the Hellfire Club got acquainted with each other rather quickly, and although Y/n didn't understand DND, she would gladly sit through their nerdy ramblings. 

Y/n had been invited to sit in on one of the meetings today. If it had been any other group that invited Y/n, she would have said no without a second thought. Hellfire was different, though. 

Currently, Y/n, Eddie, and Gareth sat in the back of Eddie’s van. The three decided to hang out there after school as the campaign wasn't until 5:00. Y/n stared at the smoke coming out of Gareth’s mouth, entranced by the way the cloud of smoke billowed into the air. Y/n had never lived around people who smoked, only having seen her grandfather smoke one time. Gareth noticed her staring at the cigarette in his hand like a toddler staring at a new toy.

“Want a hit?” Gareth asked as he held the cigarette out for Y/n to take. 

“Sure.” Y/n murmured, reaching out to take it. Right before Y/n could take it, Eddie slapped her hand away.

“No. I’m not letting you smoke.” He declared, eyes fierce and serious. “Don't offer her a cigarette again.” 

“Sorry, dude.” Gareth replied, to which Eddie rolled his eyes.

“Let’s go. It’s almost five.” Eddie’s voice was grim. He walked away from the trailer with long, angry strides.

“Eddie.” Y/n called, trying to catch up with his large steps. “Eddie, he didn't- he wasn't-” 

“I don't care. He shouldn't have offered it to you.” Eddie continued angrily, not slowing down. 

“Why does it matter?” 

“Because I know you’d regret it tomorrow.” Eddie halted in the empty hallway, turning to face Y/n. 

“I might not regret it.” Y/n insisted.

“Yes you would. I know you, Y/n, better than you think I know you. You would wake up tomorrow morning and feel guilty as hell, and the you’d be freaked out all day.” Eddie crossed his arms. Y/n knew he was right. She knew she would feel guilty and scared when she saw her father’s face staring at her. Still, she was relentlessly tempted to try it. “Don't feel pressured to do something just because the people around you are doing it.”

“What if I want to do it?” 

“You don't want to, Y/n.”

“I want to know what it’s like.” Y/n replied, making Eddie pause. 

“Fine. If you still want to smoke in a month, I’ll let you do it. Deal?” Eddie stuck out his hand. 

“Deal.”

Get To Know Me!

1. IF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT TITLE WOULD BEST FIT?

* Dazed and confused lol. 🤣 (not smoking btw just the title describes my life haha)

2. WOULD YOU RATHER BE A FANTASTIC DANCER OR BE GREAT AT MATH?

* Definitely math. I’ve always struggled understanding math in school and it caused me a lot of frustration. I don’t need to be a math wizard, just being able to understand it is all I need!

3. WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE COMEDY MOVIE?

* I love slapstick and potty humor. I don’t have a particular favourite comedy movie as I tend to lean towards animated movies instead of live action. But I guess if I had to choose I would choose The Minions, I love those guys!

4. ARE YOU MORE OF A CAT PERSON OR A DOG PERSON?

* definitely a dog person. My mom is super allergic to cats and my dad is allergic as well. (They are also allergic to dogs, but we managed to get a hypoallergenic dog which has helped with their allergies)

5. WHAT CELEBRITY WOULD YOU RATE AS A PERFECT 10?

* Tom Holland of course! Not just looks wise either, I’m in love with his personality. 😍 I love goofy, funny and nerdy hot guys like Tom Holland. If only he was a musician too. 🤤

6. WHAT’S THE CLOSEST THING TO REAL MAGIC?

* Manifestation! Technically that’s not magic, but whatever. I believe that we are all born with some type of psychic ability, we’re just not all awakened to it.

7. WHAT IS THE BEST AND WORST PURCHASES YOU’VE EVER MADE?

* Hmm, I’m not sure about this one. I often go by reviews because I have a tough time making up my mind about which thing I want to buy. I try to analyze each thing I buy to make sure I’m buying a good product haha.

8. IF IT WERE POSSIBLE TO COLONIZE MARS IN OUR LIFETIME, WOULD YOU GO? WHY OR WHY NOT?

* Heck no! Space is scary haha. Plus Earth needs help healing so I’d rather spend my time helping people here and devote my time to bettering the planet we currently live on. Now that being said, if I lived in a reality like in the movie Interstellar I would go because it’s our only option to survive haha.

9. WHAT IS YOUR DREAM VACATION ON YOUR BUCKET LIST?

* Japan for sure! It’s been my dream to travel to Japan since I was a pre-teen. And not just because of anime haha. I’d also love to visit Europe and the United Kingdom where my ancestors are from.

10. WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE SUBJECT IN SCHOOL AS A STUDENT?

* I took singing vocal class in high school which I really enjoyed, but I had to drop it in my second half of high school due to my mental health which sucked. I also really enjoyed communications class!

11. IF YOU COULD LIVE IN A BOOK, TV SHOW, OR MOVIE, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

* This is a tough decision to make. I can’t decide on which one. I’d like to travel to different stories and experience life in them first before making a permanent decision.

12. HOW MANY SIBLINGS DO YOU HAVE?

* I have three half siblings, they are all about a decade older than me. I have two half brothers and one half sister. I don’t see them that often, only at Christmas time.

13. WHAT’S THE CRAZIEST THING YOU’VE EVER DONE?

* I’m not a very adventurous person, so I would have to say just meeting my spirit guides during a meditation and having my spiritual awakening?

14. IF YOU COULD MASTER ONE SKILL YOU DON’T HAVE RIGHT NOW, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

* Housekeeping and adulting stuff haha. As well as manifesting if you count that as a skill!

15. WHAT WORDS OF WISDOM WOULD YOU PASS ON TO YOUR CHILDHOOD SELF?

* Don’t be so hard on yourself, learn to love and accept your uniqueness and don’t worry about what others think of you. It’s also okay to feel emotions, don’t be ashamed of feeling sad or angry!

16. HOW WOULD YOU SURVIVE A ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE?

* I wouldn’t haha. I wouldn’t be able to survive in such a place. I don’t think I would want to anyway. I tend to get very affected by apocalyptic stories so I’m trying to distance myself from them more these days.

17. IF YOU COULD ABOLISH ONE PIECE OF MODERN TECHNOLOGY, WHAT WOULD IT BE AND WHY?

* Nuclear weapons! We don’t need them and they’re dangerous. Peace and love man!

18. WHAT IS YOUR GUILTY PLEASURE?

* Hmm… not sure I have a guilty pleasure. The thing that comes to my mind is comfort food that isn’t good for me, does that count?

19. WHAT WAS YOUR NICKNAME YOUR GRANDPARENTS USED TO CALL YOU?

* I don’t think they had nicknames for me, but my dad always calls me pumpkin.

20. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CLIMBED A TREE JUST FOR FUN?

Disney Gives G’day With New Year’s Premiere Date For “Koala Man” Slated For January 9

Good people of Dapto, there's a new superhero in town. Koala Man ready to kickoff Disney’s 100 Years Of Wonder.

Koala Man will officially be bringing marsupial justice to Disney’s streaming platforms on January 9 on Hulu & Disney+ International with Star+ dropping the show on later date.

New images from the show have also dropped. Koala Man hails form Australian creator/animator Michael Cusack (YOLO: Crystal Fantasy, Smiling Friends).

Koala Man follows middle-aged dad Kevin and his titular not-so-secret identity, whose only superpower is a burning passion for following rules and snuffing out petty crime in the town of Dapto.

On a quest to clean up his hometown, and often roping his frustrated family into his adventures, Koala Man stands at the ready. He’ll do whatever it takes to defeat villainous masterminds, supernatural horrors, or worse: jerks who don’t take their rubbish bins down on the proper days.

The series features the voices of Michael Cusack as Kevin/Koala Man; Hugh Jackman as Big Greg, head of the town council and the most popular guy in Dapto; Sarah Snook as Kevin’s forbearing wife, Vicky, a cafeteria lady; Jemaine Clement as Bazwell, a nerdy and ineffectual dandy who mentors Kevin’s son, Liam (also voiced by Cusack) and Demi Lardner as Kevin’s popularity-hungry daughter, Alison; with Rachel House as Vicky’s coworker Janine and local bowling club owner Louise, Jarrad Wright as Kevin’s neighbor/BFF/super hero sidekick, Spider, and guest roles by Miranda Otto and Hugo Weaving.

Koala Man is executive produced by “Solar Opposites” and “The Paloni Show” co-creator Justin Roiland and Walt Disney Pictures & Point Grey Pictures “Figment” writers Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit.

Michael Cowap also serves as executive producer. The series is produced by 20th Television Animation for Disney Television Studios.

"PirateAu! Midoriya x Reader Part 2"

Summary: Continuation of Part 1

Words: 3,777

Warnings: None/implied other ships (I'm trying this out so don't get mad if you don't ship certain characters. this is just for fun)

Author's Note: Ok so this is more focused on plot btw but it's still midoriya x reader i sense this is becoming a new series

The tavern could be heard from down the gravel path, alive with the town's patrons. You walked next to Deku, hand-in-hand, as the rest of his crew followed close behind, excitedly chatting about getting three sheets to the wind tonight. As you walked the path, you notice some of the locals closing up their shops at the sight of pirates, clearly scared and unsure about what's going to happen.

Deku and his crew weren't known everywhere so it was understandable that some people had their fear of any and all pirates.

Walking up to the tavern door, Deku pushes it open loudly making the boisterous laughter and drunken chatter quiet down almost instantly. Paying no mind, he drags you over to the counter ordering the finest rum and mead they had. Most of the patrons try to nonchalantly make their way to the door and the crew pretends not to notice.

By the time the bartenders bring out the drinks, the tavern is vacant and everyone takes their seats at their desired tables. You, Deku, Ochaco, Iida, and Todoroki take your seats at a large table in the back of the bar, that can be closed off from everyone else if need be. 

Bringing the rum to your lips, you take a large sip, sighing happily as the buzz travels down to your stomach. It was nice to be on land again after so many months. Far from home, sure, but the adventures you had held a special place in your heart.

"So I was thinking we could raid my father's palace soon. We're close to my homeland, so why not?" Todoroki says, as serious as ever. Upon getting to know him, you've learned that he was an escaped prince, PRINCE, that joined Deku's crew after they stopped one of the Kings trade routes. His dad was apparently involved in some shady work and at Todoroki's discretion, snuck onto Deku's ship in the middle of the fight and hid there until it was clear.

His arrival startled everyone and made them on guard at first, but his honesty and stealth was something honorable.

Deku shot him a look. "And why would we do that?"

Todoroki blinks. "Because I hate him?"

You laugh and raise your glass to Todoroki to cheers. "I've never been to a palace so I'm in." Before Deku could decline his offer and politely scold you, the door to the tavern swung open.

Everyone turns and you light up seeing Captain Bakugou scowling at everyone. "Look Deku," you whisper, "he's here." Finally, I can meet them!

"Yay." Deku replies dryly taking a sip of his mead.

"You've better not have drunk all the good ale and rum, Deku. I got a crew here waiting to celebrate." Everyone else in the tavern goes back to talking normally as Captain Bakugou and his crew pile in. You notice two men, one redhead and the other black-haired, carrying a large glass container with a blanket draped over it so you couldn't see inside.

Deku watches them curiously, eyeing the container just like you. Iida still sipping his ale while Ochaco nursed her spirits. Todoroki swirled his scotch around.

Captain Bakugou grabbed a bottle of ale off the counter without looking and took a swig as he sauntered to where you all sat. Mina, the redhead, and the black-haired guy follow behind, Mina carrying the potion of choice for the two, as the rest of their crew mingled with Deku's like it was nothing out of the ordinary.

With a tavern now full of rowdy pirates, Captain Bakugou piles in your section, his crew placing the glass container on the large table. The sound of water swishing from inside of it raises your eyebrows as you look to Deku questionably who seemed equally as confused. Mina closes the door, the chatter of everyone outside turning into a muffle, and smiles at Ochaco, taking a seat next to her.

The redhead rearranges some of the spare tables and chairs, making space so everyone can sit.

Deku opens his mouth first.

"Celebrate what exactly?" 

Captain Bakugou grins wildly, seeming smug as he took another swig from the ale bottle in his hand. Kicking his feet up on the table once he sits, he sighs contently, his pirate hat falling slightly over his face.

"Kacchan...what did you do?" Deku asks again, this time exasperated. Rolling his eyes, Captain Bakugou nods to the black-haired man.

The blanket was removed and you gasp.

Inside the container was a mermaid. Merman. He was absolutely breathtaking; his tail was a shimmering gold that matched his hair and equally gold eyes and...wait.

"Kaminari?" You spoke out first, breaking the silence in the room. Kaminari had a hostile expression on his face, his eyes in slits and fangs extended in true siren fashion.

Hearing his name, his expression dropped into one of recognition seeing you. The smile that took over his face was so stunning that you even heard Captain Bakugou take a sharp inhale. Abandoning your spot, you walk over to the container just as the black-haired man finished unlatching the top so Kaminari could fully get his upper body out.

Excitedly, you go to wrap your arms around him, not believing it's him after all these years when instead his lips meet yours. You freeze, trying to process what went wrong so fast. Pulling back sharply, you laugh nervously. "Kami! You can't just do that!"

Kaminari flicks his tail and grins coyly, still not saying anything. Why isn't he talking?

"What the hell is going on here?" Deku's voice made you jump. He never curses so hearing his voice so on edge made goosebumps prickle over your arms. You turn around slowly, smiling shyly at everyone staring at you like you just turned into a mermaid yourself. Expect Deku. Deku looked pissed.

"Um...Kaminari is a...childhood friend." You answer slowly, seeing Kaminari nod enthusiastically beside you. Deku crosses his arms and you can just see the one single thought he had. 'Friend?'

Sighing, you elaborate. "Long story short, when I was little I was out playing by the ocean and spent a lot of time out there. I didn't realize how late it had gotten and the tide had risen, pulling me further and further out." The memory came back vividly as you recall your childhood. "I almost drowned struggling against the waves, and when my head finally went under, I thought that was it."

Turning to Kaminari, you smile in thanks. "When I came too, I was on the beach staring up at the night sky and a golden-haired boy leaning over me. He saved my life."

Kaminari shifts around the small tank so he can place his chin on your shoulder. 

"We spent the rest of the summer together by the ocean until I had to move away from it because of the big pirate war that happened-," you look to Deku who had once told you about the Great Captain Toshi, "Anyways, I never got the chance to tell him I wouldn't be back next summer-" Your throat chokes up a bit just thinking about how much you did genuinely miss him.

It was still silent once you finished your story, everyone still displaying various degrees of shock on their face. Captain Bakugou looked intrigued.

"Who the fuck are you?"

Biting back a grin seeing Deku about answer for you but you beat him to it. "I'm (Y/n). Deku's girlfriend."

Another pause.

Suddenly, Captain Bakugou's crew was all over Deku, ruffling his hair and teasing him, making him turn red. Captain Bakugou just looked shocked all over again.

"You got yourself a lass, huh?" It was clear that Captain Bakugou didn't know how to react, either in awe or disbelief of the information. Kamianari hums next to you questionably but before you could turn around to him, the redhead laughs and turns to you.

"I'm Kirishima. Second Mate to Bakugou." He grins widely and the row of unusually sharp teeth has you recoiling. Kaminari makes an undistinguished noise beside you at the sight.

The black-haired boy turns to you next. "Sero. Bakugou's boatswain." He salutes you loosely, grinning lazily as he drinks his scotch, swirling it just like Todoroki.

Mina raises her hand. "I'm Mina! Bakugou's gunner!" Smiling, you didn't want to spoil that you already know about her from Ochaco.

The introductions were nice and simple, Bakugou just nodding to you once. "Captain Bakugou."

"Still no First Mate, huh, Kacchan?" Deku teases that had Captain Bakugou flushing red from anger and embarrassment. Kaminari lets out a noise that sounds like a laugh but just barely. This brings you back to the burning question on the tip of your tongue.

"It's nice to meet you all, but why isn't Kaminari talking?" Turning to your childhood friend, you see the mischievousness in his eyes which was never a good sign.

Captain Bakugou growls and stands up from his chair pacing back and forth.

"Up until now, I didn't even know the fucker had a name!" He takes another swing of his ale as everyone waited for him to continue. He sighs heavily, running a hand through his hair. "I mentioned yesterday about making a stop somewhere, right? Well, we stopped on Temptest Island for something relating to our next location when that one-," he points to Kaminari venomously, Kaminari only smirking knowingly, "started singing."

Captain Bakugou crosses his arms haughtily over his chest. Apparently done with his explanation, like he really said something useful, Todoroki spoke up first.

"You mean...he almost seduced you?"

Bakugou instantly turned red at the statement while Kirishima and Mina burst out laughing. "Shut the fuck up, half-n-half! He didn't do shit and now he's my captive and we're taking him to...our next location!" Still steaming from anger, Captain Bakugou glares at his crew, Sero just chuckling quietly and cheers-ing with Todoroki. Ochaco laughs behind her hand quietly while Iida smiles into his mead.

A hand was suddenly cupped over your ear as Kaminari leaned in to whisper. "I missed you (Y/n)! You have no idea how badly I want to speak right now but it's so much fun giving that guy a hard time. You should've seen how close I was to dragging him under Temptest Island with me~"

You giggle and shake your head. "Classic Kami. It's so nice to know nothing changed." Speaking with a normal voice, you reply noticing Deku still watching you with a gaze you've never seen before. Is he...jealous?

"Well, you changed! You got a boyfriend?! A pirate boyfriend at that! How did you even get to this point (Y/n) because we both know you weren't born a-"

"HEY! What's he saying?!" Captain Bakugou finally takes notice of Kaminari whispering to you and Kaminari turns his head away, no doubt stifling a laugh. "And what was that kiss about?!"

"Jealous?" You tease the words to Bakugou, angering him even more, but block him out and slide your gaze over to Deku who still looked heated. In fact, it looked like he didn't know what to do with himself.

"We realllyyy should've reconnected sooner. God, I missed you. Now, will you stop messing with your boyfriend and tell him already? I can't tell if he's about to cry or slice me with his sword-"

He pauses.

"Actually..."

"No!" Pulling away while laughing at the innuendo, you clear your throat to get everyone's attention. "Kaminari would like me to tell you all that he kissed me in greeting. Some merfolk kiss friends in greeting depending on how close you are to them."

Deku looks relieved but not by much.

"Just friends. Nothing more."

Smiling, you turn to Kaminari who winks at you in return before leaning back in to whisper in your ear.

"HEY! SPEAK TO EVERYONE YOU SPARKLING TUNA!" Captain Bakugou's anger had reached its peak, his heavy footsteps making their way over to where you and Kamianri were huddled together.

Kaminari tries to hide behind you, no doubt giving Captain Bakugou a sly look over your shoulder before moving to your other ear to whisper.

"Tell him I'll speak if I can get out of this container and not be a captive anymore. I want to stretch my legs...it's been a while since I've been on land."

Pretending to nod seriously, you look to Captain Bakugou who was still fuming in front of you. "Mhm...I see." Clearing your throat you stare into his eyes. "Kaminari said he'll talk if you kiss him."

This time everyone roars with laughter, and even Kaminari drops his forehead on your shoulder, body shaking with laughter, trying so hard not to be heard. Captain Bakugou's mouth opens and closes, clearly fed up with the teasing.

"THEN CALAMARI CAN STAY MUTE LIKE I GIVE A FUCK...fucking fish are friends, not food huh? Bullshit..." Bakugou stomps his way towards the door, swinging it open to the rest of the bar to get some air and probably something else to drink.

"He wants to know what you mean by food! Are you gonna eat him?!" You call out the innuendo boldly even though Kaminari did not say that. Thinking it, maybe, but mentioning it, not a chance.

The door slams shut behind Captain Bakugou's departure and you start laughing yourself, turning to offer a hand to Kaminari. His face was flushed with embarrassment and joy, eyes twinkling happily. Mina and Kirishima were in tears and everyone else seemed out of breath and gasping for air.

"C-can someone help me get Kami out? I don't think I'm strong enough to lift him." Asking for assistance, you see Deku move to stand. 

"He didn't actually say that, did he?" Kirishima wipes his eyes and takes a deep breath. Deku makes his way over and puts his arms in the container, shuffling Kaminari into a bridal carry position.

"Nope. He just doesn't want to be treated as a captive." You explain, now becoming wary that they did have him caged and wondering just what they were planning on doing to him.

Kirishima must've seen the look on your face as he smiled sheepishly. "It wasn't my idea, but in our defense, we didn't know mermaids could transform and have legs." Something tells you the Captian Bakugou knows though. Deku heaves Kaminari out of the container, water splashing all over the floor as Kami shook his tail off.

Everyone watched in fascination as his tail suddenly disintegrated into a slime-like consistency as pale, flawless legs appeared. Deku seemed awestruck as this happened in his arms, Kaminari wiggling his toes experimentally. He was also naked. Very much naked.

Deku's face bloomed red, turning away as he respected Kaminari's privacy, although the latter didn't seem to mind. Kirishima hastily stood up and shrugged out of his white button-up, walking over as Deku gently placed Kaminari's feet on the ground, blocking his nakedness from the rest of the crew.

Kaminari held onto your shoulder as he found his balance, standing as Kirishima dressed him. The shirt was extremely oversized on him, baggy over his slim and small frame. When he was finally dressed, Deku stepped away and Kaminari twirled, his tinkling laughter filtering out finally audible to everyone. "Thank you, Mr. Shark."

Kaminari's voice was like honey, sweet and slow as he finally spoke. The name has Kirishima sputtering, his face red as he looked away and rubbed his neck nervously. "I'm not- that's just my teeth."

Kaminari hums and hugs your waist as he leans his head on your shoulder. I almost forgot how much he loved affection. Leaning your head on top of his, you welcome his embrace, relieved to see him after all this time. It didn't sound like Kaminari believed Kirishima, and by the way Kirishima wasn't meeting his gaze, you knew there was something he was hiding.

Mina walks up and offers Kaminari some ale.

Sniffing it, Kaminari's expression turns sour and he shakes his head. "That stuff is repulsive. I can't drink it."

Nodding, she thinks for a second. "I think the bar might have something fruitier and nonalcoholic. I'll be back." With that, she walks out as Deku rubs his hands over his face, lost.

"So what exactly is Kacchan planning? Why did he capture Kaminari in the first place?"

"Because I'm pretty," Kaminari speaks up helpfully.

Sero laughs and stretches his arm behind Todoroki's chair. "I have a few ideas as to why, but Bakugou hasn't actually told us anything. You know how he is."

That's...a lot of trust. Instead of voicing your thoughts out loud, you tried to reason that it's because a crew trusts their caption 110% and are willing to follow them blindly into anything. But...still...

Kaminari, still staring at Kirishima, steps forward, testing out his legs, and rises to his tiptoes, trying to pry his mouth open. Stumbling a bit, Kirishima catches him by the hips, his face flaming red as he tried to politely push Kami away, his forwardness overwhelming and just...too seductive.

Kaminari obviously wasn't trying to be sexy right now, his face in full concentration as he lifted Kirishima's upper lip his eyes narrowing in on his teeth. You watch in amusement as Kirishima reluctantly opens his mouth, allowing Kami to run a finger over his teeth as he still helped balance him by his hips. Sero chuckles as Kirishima looks dazed and jittery, having nowhere to go. 

It was a compromising position as a shirtless Kirishima held Kami against his chest as his mouth was examined. Poor thing looked like he was about to pass out.

Kaminari's fingers halt on the bottom row of his teeth, pressing down gently on his lower canines. A strangled noise comes out of Kirishima's mouth that has Kaminari grinning and pulling back smugly. Kirishima turns back to his seat and sits down putting his head in his hands in shame.

You look to Kami in question, but his expression just says 'I'll tell you later.' Before anyone can speak and ask what the hell that was, Mina comes back with a large flask and hands it to Kami. "Here you are. Pineapple, mango, and coconut water."

Kami takes it and hesitantly smells it, his face lighting up from the sweet scent. Taking a sip, his eyes widen before gulping down the juice, an erotic moan escaping his mouth. Mina looks at Kirishima who had flinched at the moan while still having his head down. "What happened here?"

"I'll tell you later," Ochcaco speaks up, amused, as Mina resumes her spot next to her.

Deku steps closer to you and you lean into him, pleased that this night has gone better than expected and that you reconnected with your childhood friend. He wraps his arms around you as he addresses Mina. "Where'd Kacchan go?"

Having finished his drink, Kaminari starts walking back in forth in front of the door, his feet placed in the middle of the wooden tile, trying to stay inside the lines. "Kacchan? Why not Bakugou?"

The door swings open and Kaminari starts to lose balance before hands reach out to steady him. "That's Captain Bakugou to you." Bakugou stares down at Kami, his gaze lingering on the legs he now has. Releasing him, Bakugou turns to everyone, all previous annoyance and embarrassment gone.

"The next port over just got raided by a group of rogue pirates. And if it sounds like who I think they are-" he trails off and looks to Deku, who seems to understand. Deku kisses your forehead and pulls away, looking disturbed.

"It can't be..."

Captain Bakugou adjusts his hat, grumbling. "We need a bigger ship."

You look to Deku, understanding what Captian Bakugou was trying to imply. Deku clears his throat and nods, the crew already standing and getting ready to leave.

"Listen up!" Captain Bakugou turns to call out to the rest of the tavern, silencing everyone. "We're going to take our ships out and dock them on Temptest Island."

Kaminari snickers and Bakugou shoots him a warning glare.

"From there, we're all going to be sailing together until further notice."

The crewmates in the tavern look at each other in question before cautiously agreeing. Deku whispers to Captain Bakugou lowly. "Where are we going to get a bigger ship, Kacchan?"

Bakugou frowns, clearly not excited about this arrangement. "I have something."

Deku's eyes widen in surprise and curiosity as he reaches for your hand while Captain Bakugou calls for everyone to get ready to move and that time is of the essence. You reach for Kaminari who looked lost and somewhat scared. "I wanna go home..."

Captain Bakugou turns to Kaminari and smirks down at him. "Not a chance, darlin'. You're gonna be our secret weapon."

Kaminari only stares and gulps, gripping your hand tighter as Captain Bakugou notices, smirking wider as he walks away to usher everyone out.

"What was that about?" You ask Deku, loud enough so a stunned Kaminari could be included in the conversation. Walking out of the tavern and back down the dirt path, everyone piles onto their respective boats, getting ready to set sail back to Temptest Island.

"One thing about Kacchan...he's always one step ahead," Deku mutters.

"Hey," Kirishima walks up to Kaminari uneasy, "you can choose which crew you want to be with tonight. Bakugou says he doesn't mind since we're basically going to be side-by-side anyway..." He trails off and Kaminari just grips your arm tighter.

Kirishima smiles in understanding. "I get it. Also, don't let Bakugou scare you. I know he comes off harsh but he's all bark and no bite," his smile drops slightly, "to the crew and those he considers useful at least."

That didn't seem to ease Kaminari's worry but Kirishima walks off, boarding his own boat and you all go to do the same. Deku stops and lets go of your hand, kissing your lips gently. "I'm going to go talk to Kacchan and get details on the situation. Kaminari can stay with us in our quarters, okay? I'll be back soon."

Nodding, you huddle a shivering Kaminari close to you as you board the ship.

Secret weapon? Attack? What does Captain Bakugou need Kami for? With all these questions swirling in your mind, you lead Kami to your quarters and tuck him in the bed, smiling at the wonderous look on his face from feeling blankets for the first time.

"I'm glad you're here (Y/n)." That was the last thing Kami muttered before falling asleep.

I'm glad to have met you again, Kami. Though this time it sounds like I'm going to have to be the one to save your life.

Doesn't Matter

Movies, movies, movies. I've watched about 75 movies since I last talked about Barbie. I still need to write a critical review of that film. I may do it tonight. We'll see. Sadly, I don't have much to say on these movies, except for a few very connected ones. The greatest non-IP film I saw was Rat Race and I can't say anything more about that film than it was really really funny and I wished that Tracy got the money. She was so hot and her outfit looked really good. I watched some Spielberg films and I can say that he hasn't made a good movie in 20 years. RE: The Fabelmans, Paul Dano was fantastic, I think the younger sister with the glasses is going places (she was also great in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), I can't believe Seth Rogan cucked Spielberg's dad, and I wished I didn't know David Lynch was in the movie but his scene was the only thing worth it. Shit ending though. Close Encounters of the Third Kind, also a bad ending. I really liked the whimsy and the discovery of the film. And that a third guy joined their adventure to climb the mountain, until he gave up which sucked. Like A.I, a more interesting film to think about but maybe not to watch as a movie. None of the character's are good, interesting, or driven besides lunacy. The music and shot where the car flies over the truck rock though.

I thinked I watched a lot of TV? I can't really remember. I rewatched Modern Family. While a real interesting premise of so many different pairings, the don't do anything with it. Storylines are primarily focused on the same pairings. How many Phil and Cam plots are there? Or jokes with Manny and Mitch together? And it has a real structure issue. Most sitcoms have an A and a B plot, split 2:1. You know which plot is more important but you need another plot to cut back to so it doesn't feel too samey. Maybe, you have a C plot which is really just a loose set of jokes for pacing issues or for character pairings that are fun but don't provide a lot of depth. I've been watching King of the Hill so that comes to mind. There's an episode where they go to Louisiana. The episode is about Hank trying to win some money in a football game but the writers need to justify having more characters go with them. So it's revealed that Bill is from Louisiana so there's more of a reason to go there. Bill's plot is the B plot and it also helps drive the A plot. Or sometimes they give all the character's on the sidelines a C plot for jokes and so the audience is left wondering why they're not involved in more of the episode. But with Modern Family, you have 3 families of supposed equal importance so each episode can only really focus 5-6 minutes on each family. It's very rushed and mainly focuses on marital issues, which again, are resolved in mere minutes. And the rest of the time the show has to focus on jokes with the non-relevant characters to the given story so it doesn't seem weird that they're not in the episode. In KotH, a lot of the side characters are adults who aren't family so it isn't weird if they don't appear in a given episode or are in only one scene. But in Modern Family, the side characters are their children so it would be weird if they didn't show up. And when the kids are grown up and given unlikeable personalities and love lifes, the show gets bogged down in seasons where no one is able to grow and each character only gets 2 episodes of actual importance on them. But that said, it's still decent television. And as you can tell, I don't really like many of the characters. I liked Cam a lot more this time but I think it's because he told a lot of puns. I do really like Phil and Claire. I think Phil is why the show got 11 seasons. I hate Alex. I'm so sick of that kind of nerdy author insert. I got bullied in high school so I'm going to make this really smart character who no one gets mean to everyone else. Fuck off.
