"Inazuma Shogunate, Yashiro Commission, Kamisato Clan." Widely known as one of the most distinguished clans in all of Inazuma, it is the branch of the Tri-Commission that manages ceremonial and cultural affairs.

Since my parents passed, Brother and I assumed responsibility for all clan matters, big and small.

◆ Ayaka's Elemental Skill, Kamisato Art: Hyouka can deal AoE Cryo DMG to surrounding opponents. Her Alternate Sprint, Kamisato Art: Senho, allows her to move at high speed in the form of a torrent on water or ground. When Ayaka reappears, she temporarily receives a Cryo infusion.

5-Star Character "Frolicking Flames" Yoimiya

◇ Vision: Pyro

◇ Weapon: Bow

◇ Owner of Naganohara Fireworks. Known as "Queen of the Summer Festival," she excels in her craft of creating fireworks that symbolize people's hopes and dreams.

Fireworks are born out of people's desire for light and beauty. The earliest mention of fireworks dates back to Liyue during the Archon War. Born from fire and embodied in stone and metal, they have since become an integral part of many festive activities in Teyvat. The Naganohara family has carried on this beautiful human tradition from generation to generation. It is rumored that in addition to the locally-made fireworks, fireworks made by Naganohara Fireworks were also used during Liyue's Lantern Rite, adding an extra touch of splendor to the festival.

◆ Yoimiya's Elemental Skill, Niwabi Fire-Dance, converts her Normal Attacks into Blazing Arrows for a period of time. Blazing Arrows deal Pyro DMG.

Her Elemental Burst, Ryuukin Saxifrage, deals AoE Pyro DMG and applies Aurous Blaze to one of the hit opponents.

When the duration ends, she unleashes a Fuufuu Whirlwind Kick, dealing AoE Anemo DMG. Hold to cause Sayu to roll continuously in the Fuufuu Windwheel state.

Her Elemental Burst summons the Muji-Muji Daruma, which can either restore character HP when characters are at low HP or deal Anemo DMG to enemies, depending on the circumstances.

◆ During the event wish, The Heron's Court, the event-exclusive 5-star character "Frostflake Heron" Kamisato Ayaka (Cryo) will get a huge drop-rate boost!

The Elemental Skill, Lightning Blade, can unleash three thunder shadows that deal Electro DMG to opponents and leave an Abundance Amulet behind. Characters who pick up an Abundance Amulet will restore Elemental Energy and have their rate of Energy Recharge increased for a period of time.

The Elemental Burst, Bellowing Thunder, calls upon a shroud of lightning. When your active character's Normal or Charged Attacks hit opponents, they will call forth Falling Thunder, dealing Electro DMG. When Falling Thunder hits opponents, it will regenerate Energy for that character.

Shoot your shot

♡ AN: I got around to writing for Haikyuu! again and this time it’s for Oikawa, can you believe I hated this man so much that I ranted to my friend about him for a hour? Now I’m writing a smut for him the growth we love to see it~ I’m an anime only person and I know some spoilers so ignore any inconsistencies you might see because this is an anime only canon fic.

♡ Oikawa x Brazilian Fem Reader : Playing beach volleyball is a cinch no problem right? But the sight of you in a bikini is too much to bear and having a hard on while playing volleyball is hardly convenient. So when Oikawa sees you in nothing but a towel in the locker room he decides to finally make his move on you.

♡ Warning: Explicit shower smut with 27 year old Oikawa, voyeurism, semi public sex, and maybe a daddy kink at the end? Read at your own discretion.

✯ ✯ ------------------------- ✯ ✯

➢ Portuguese translation

⇢ Y/N, você está aqui? - Y/N, are you in here?

⇢ Sim, ainda estou aqui - Yes, I’m still here.

⇢ Fode me o meu amor - Fuck me, my love.

“Yoohoo! Lucas, how you been?” Oikawa said, stretching out his o’s.

His Argentinean teammate said something, but the reception was terrible.

“Hold on! Let me take this outside.” He stepped out of his air-conditioned flat out into the humid air.

The voice garbled a few more sentences before it became clearer. “C-can you hear me now?”

Oikawa grinned hearing the familiar voice. “Yeah! What’s up?”

Though, he will always cherish his memories with his former team in Japan. Oikawa was now connecting with his national team as well as creating bonds and chemistry on par with his friends back home.

“Alright, amigo, I just did you a huge favor. You’re going to love me and I’m demanding more of that milk bread from you.”

He felt the familiar irritation every time someone claimed his milk bread. Oikawa only shared his milk bread with his teammate because he never tasted the magnificence of the treat. He almost suffered a heart attack when Lucas asked what was so good about bread.

“No promises, but I’m listening,” Oikawa replied as he looked over the night sky of Bueno Aires, it felt gratifying to know that a Japanese boy from a small town now lived in one of the biggest cities in Argentina.

“You remember telling me to help out with your little crush on Y/N, right?”

He rolled his eyes and pouted, “I don’t recall asking for your help! I just asked if she was single. That’s two different things!”

Oikawa remembered when he first saw Y/N at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, he had been ecstatic to go home despite representing another country. It was his debut performance on a world stage. So, he walked around Tokyo for a while before heading back to his hotel to prepare for his match. When Oikawa turned on his T.V., he noticed it was the Women’s volleyball finals between Brazil and the U.S. It seemed like the Japanese women didn’t make it. He watched for a few minutes absentmindedly before he got distracted by player 24 from Brazil. She was the ace and was quite short, but it seemed like the average height for the female players. She was quite good, stealing point after point from their opponents. But that wasn’t what caught his attention. But rather her amusing victory dance each time she gained a point for her team. Y/N would obnoxiously dance in front of the net making her opponents furious.

Oikawa grinned childishly; he knew she was doing it on purpose as the U.S. team started making amateur errors as the gap between the two teams widened. It was a good strategy, one that he himself used on opponents that irritated him like his former kouhai, Kageyama. But his involved taunting, not twerking in front of his opponents. He didn’t think he would look half as good as she did.

From there, it was mere curiosity as to who the player was. She was quite pretty with her long curly hair and golden skin. He didn’t think he would meet her the very next day as she chatted with Lucas in Portuguese. He had no idea his Spanish speaking teammate even knew Portuguese. She had glanced over to him and introduced herself in rich accented English.

“Hello, I’m Y/N L/N. Nice to meet you.” She held out her hand.

He shook it, marveling at the softness despite the calluses he felt on her palm.

When she left to go find her team, Oikawa turned to Lucas and asked in a casual voice, “soooo… are you two together or something?”

Lucas just grinned at him and shook his head.

“Nah, she’s my how you say… my tomodachi.”

From there Lucas had taken it upon himself to get the two together, which didn’t work well after the Olympics were over as he returned to Bueno Aires and she to Brazil.

“So, anyway I told her that you would do it in place of me! Isn’t that great?” Oikawa snapped out of his thoughts as Lucas continued.

“Wait what? Repeat that last part.”

He heard an aggravated sigh from the phone.

“Y/N participates in a beach volleyball competition every summer for charity. Her usual partner is gone, and she asked me, but I told her that I hurt my ankle. So, I volunteered you for the job!”

Oikawa blinked as the words registered in his mind.

“B-but I’ve never played professional beach volleyball before.”

Sure, he’s played some matches for fun every now and then. But surely a legitimate competition is different than screwing around with a beach ball.

“Ehh, it’s the same sport just with different rules. But don’t let that get in your way. This is your chance!”

Since he came back from Tokyo, Oikawa did sort of miss her and he hadn’t connected with any of the girls he met since.

“Alright fine. Let’s do this. How hard can it be?”

From there Lucas gave Y/N’s number to him. He immediately texted her and they figured out a schedule to practice together a few months before the actual tournament. Thankfully with the Olympics over, he no longer had to be in Argentina for the rigorous team practices and was free to go to Brazil as he pleased. So, a few weeks later he reached the coastal city Ubatuba in Brazil, ready to finally take a crack at beach volleyball.

Oikawa was munching away on his toast when he heard a knock in his hotel room. He quickly downed his breakfast smoothie and made his way to look through the peephole to see Y/N standing outside waiting patiently. He unlocked the door and let her in.

“Hey. How was your flight?” She asked as she kissed his cheek in greeting.

Oikawa felt his face get warm and tried not to get too excited over the fact that she had kissed him. He knew it was part of the friendly culture, but he couldn’t help the flutters that erupted from the gesture.

“Not too bad. Only two hours long.”

“Hope you’re ready to practice today. My friends and I have a court set up at Praia de Santa Rita. It’s a private beach we reserved and afterwards there are tons of restaurants we can go to for dinner,” Y/N said as she looked around the fancy hotel he had booked. He smirked at her reaction of course he deserved nothing but the best.

The two of them stepped out of the hotel and his eyes widened at the sight of her large jeep. Y/N jumped in and waved him inside. He carefully maneuvered himself in, hopefully, she wouldn’t drive too crazily.

“Put on your seat belt, you’ll need it!” Y/N screamed gleefully, and she revved up her jeep before pulling out of the parking lot. Oikawa’s nails dug into the seat’s handles while he held on tightly as she swerved around the tight corners without slowing down. His face continued to pale as she kept driving before finally pulling next to a beach. He carefully let himself out and his legs felt like jelly.

Oikawa gasped out, “y/n, please don’t ever drive again for everyone’s safety.”

He only heard the remnants of her door slamming and her giggles while she walked away. Oikawa followed her coming onto a rest area.

“Ok, this is where the restrooms and locker rooms are. So, get changed if you need to and then just follow the signs down to the beach,” she told him before heading inside herself with a small bag in her hand. He himself had brought along a change of clothes some shorts and a tank top with some sunscreen. Oikawa learned the hard way how important sunscreen was under the intense sun here when he turned into a lobster. After getting changed he found himself on the warm sand with the hot sun beating on his head. There was a volleyball net set up in the middle of the sand and there was a small group there getting warmed up as they spiked the ball from one side to the other.

“Hey! Good you’re here now we can get started,” a voice called from behind him. He turned around to see Y/N dressed in a small violet bikini which left little to the imagination. Her toned body and caramel skin caused his own body to burn with undisguised want.

“Are you playing in that?” He yelped.

Y/N looked down at her bikini confused, not seeing anything wrong with it.

“Yeah? What else would I wear? I mean sand gets everywhere. I can’t exactly wear a volleyball uniform on the beach,” she said with teasingly.

The flush on his cheek became brighter and he couldn’t exactly blame this on the hot sun either.

“So, what do you know about professional beach volleyball, Toru?”

His face immediately blossomed with a smile. He still wasn’t used to people openly calling him by his first name without honorifics despite being out of Japan for a few years now. But with Y/N it sounded natural and perfect coming out of her mouth. Though she didn’t exactly pronounce his name correctly, she rolled the rs too much. Oikawa never tried to correct her because he found her pronunciation absolutely sensual.

“Aren’t the rules mostly the same?”

Y/N shook her head. “Not exactly. A beach volleyball court is smaller and instead of six players, there are only two. Meaning only me and you are going to protect the entire court. There are no setters, liberos, or blockers. The two players usually divide it into two sides, protecting the left and the right. Beach volleyball games are usually faster, and it's usually played to 21 points instead of 25.”

Oikawa now understood why Lucas had readily volunteered him to become her partner. It would require time and dedication to become decent at the game which he was all too ready to bestow on her.

“Is that all?” he asked looking down at her.

Suddenly, he heard loud yells as the ball headed towards their area and he instinctively grabbed it before it hit either of them. But as soon as he touched it, the ball felt weird. It was lighter and bigger than the average volleyball.

“Oh, and the volleyball is different as you can see.”

Y/N patted his back and said, “come on. Let’s start.”

There were two other girls on one side of the court while he and Y/N occupied the other. She passed off the ball to him for his serve. Y/N went to stand in the top left while he served from the right baseline. He was just about to toss up the ball when he noticed something incredible.

Oikawa bit his lip to contain his groan, the sight was pure torture. It wasn’t fair to him and really any man. Y/N was standing in front of him with her knees bent, ready to receive any serve coming her way. There wasn’t anything wrong with her stance, in fact, if she was wearing her volleyball uniform, she would be doing her job like any other volleyball player professional or otherwise. However, in her bikini the forbidden scene made him feel like the worst type of peeping tom. But he couldn’t help it as he messed with the ball in his hand. Her position was perfect for him to saddle up behind her and press his cock against her clothed cunt. Her round ass cheeks were entirely exposed as the bikini bottoms were stretched against her body and the vaginal lips were apparent even against the dark purple fabric.

Which genius made it a thing to play volleyball in bikinis? Whoever it was Oikawa wanted to strangle and thank them from the bottom of his heart all at the same time.

He jerked his face away from Y/N’s body and tossed the ball in the air only to completely miss. The ball just tumbled a few feet from his person. Y/N turned around to give him a concerned look and gave him a thumbs up.

“It’s ok!” she yelled out before focusing back on her opponents. “Keep going!”

‘Don’t look. Don’t look. D-O-N-T! LOOK! Ah fuck it,’ he thought as his eyes went right back to her ass. Honestly, he thought about possible sex with Y/N multiple times, but they were always fantasies with her on the bottom or on top riding him. But never from behind, clearly, he didn’t know what he was missing. His breath hitched when she bent down just a little further before righting herself again. He could probably call for an impromptu break and take her to the side for a private conversation. Maybe finally have that kiss they’ve both been craving for a long time before pushing her against a wall or a tree. He could hike her legs around him and fuck her until her voice was hoarse from screaming his name while her cunt creamed on his cock.

“Come on, Toru! Let’s go!” Y/N yelled as she effectively ruined his daydreams.

Ok, he had to focus now. Absolutely. The ball was once again in the air and he hit it with his palm only for it to hit the net. ….

Was it possible to bury only the face in the sand? He might have a need for that in just a few minutes.

Just as he was about to serve again his eyes wandered right back to Y/N’s backside, but this time she turned around at the same time to meet his eyes. His eyes widened and he quickly faced the front once more.

“Time out!” he heard Y/N say.

Y/N quickly walked towards Oikawa and stared him down.

“Have you been staring at my ass this entire time?”

He swallowed and coolly responded with a “no.”

“I’m not stupid, Toru! Is this going to be a problem for you?” she asked with her arms crossed and stern.

There was no point in lying, she already caught him red-handed so instead, he shrugged.

“It’s not my fault the view’s just too good. I’m only a man,” he said with a low voice.

“Y-you!” She seemed flabbergasted and amused at the same time. Y/N let out a snort and chuckled a few times before snatching the ball from his hands.

“Just go block for now. I’ll serve.” Y/N pointed to the same spot she herself was standing at. Oikawa being entirely shameless just ran his fingers through his hair and winked at Y/N before taking his spot at the front. The two women that were their opponents seemed to be hysterically giggling as well, guess he wasn’t as subtle as he thought he was. So, Oikawa just waved at them good-naturedly and readied himself for a rally.

It looked like Y/N wasn’t as distracted as him because she served without any problems and the game continued. It was much more difficult than he initially thought. While indoor volleyball was a team effort and everyone had to do their part, now Oikawa was responsible for everything. He was running around diving for the ball like a libero and even doing his own spikes as Y/N set a toss perfectly for him. Before he knew it, the game cycled through 6 sets faster than he was used to. That was another thing he noticed beach volleyball’s sets were much faster paced. Usually, he would take his time to dissect and figure out the opponent’s weaknesses before setting up tosses for his team. Now he had no time for that as he dived and ran after the lighter ball. Not only that he had to consider the weather, but the winds were also messing up his shots. Each time he aimed for the tight corners they would get blown out of bounds. Beach volleyball wasn’t harder necessarily, but it was definitely a challenge to learn.

After a couple more sets, Y/N called for a break. She handed him a cold-water bottle from the cooler while she drank some Gatorade.

“So, how long have you been playing beach volleyball?” he asked after swallowing the refreshing water.

“As long as I’ve been playing volleyball. It’s part of the Brazilian team’s routine. Playing beach volleyball actually makes you a better, well-rounded player,” she said as she put the tightened the Gatorade’s lid on and put it back in the cooler.

Y/N stepped closer to him and leaned into his face.

“Don’t think I’ve forgotten about you staring at my ass. I can’t have you missing your serves during the tournament,” She snickered, he felt her hot breath against his ears, causing shivers to erupt across his body.

Oikawa just leaned in even closer, deliberately eyeing her lips for a moment before staring back in her eyes.

“And what exactly do you plan on doing if I don’t stop?”

Instead of getting flustered and putting space in-between them, she instead stepped even closer to him and blinked innocently at him, her eyes dilating and enrapturing him.

“Behave and if you’re a good boy. I’ll reward you, promise,” she muttered just low enough for him to barely hear.

Y/N pecked his cheek and she lingered there for a moment, he could bask in her closeness and smell the remnants of the shampoo from her long hair.

“Y/N! Come on let’s play again,” her friend shouted from halfway across the court.

“Looks like time’s up. I’ll let you serve this time,” Y/N giggled and ran back to start the game again.

Oikawa felt embarrassment choking him on the inside and vowed not to mess up too badly again. He made his way back to the court and grabbed the ball, he deliberately didn’t look at Y/N as she once stood at the front to block. This time he hit one of his more powerful serves and found that most of the power didn’t transfer over to the ball, but he was able to slightly control the ball better this time. The rally continued on until the sun had turned orange and was about to set. Eventually, the group decided on another date they could meet up and practice again for the tournament.

When everything was packed up and put away, he and Y/N made their trek back up the beach to the resting area again.

“Hey, since we won’t be able to practice until next Saturday again. What say me and you practice by ourselves?”

Y/N looked up from her phone and nodded affirmatively.

“Sounds like a good idea. Practice matches once a week probably won’t help unless we get some practice of our own.”

Oikawa bit his lip, hesitating for a minute before asking her.

“Also, since I’m here, you mind showing me around? This is the first time I’ve been to Brazil.”

Y/N again nodded but with more enthusiasm this time as she regaled about tales of the amazing tourist spots and restaurants they could explore in their free time. The two of them went inside the rest area and he went into the men’s locker room to take a quick shower before changing into his clothes. Just as he stripped down and stepped into the shower, he heard a crash and scream coming from the hallway. He turned off the water and tugged a fluffy towel around his waist before walking to track down whatever made the sound. When he walked out to an empty building, he heard Y/N’s voice distinctly cursing coming from the women’s locker room.

“Y/N? You alright?” Oikawa called out, he waited for a few minutes to hear her reply and when she didn’t respond he stepped inside. He peeked inside carefully just in case there were women walking around. He heard some clutter falling onto the floor a few feet away so following the noise he found Y/N in a towel trying to pick up her items.

“You ok?” he asked concerned. Y/N startled and lost her balance, tumbling onto the locker room’s floor.

“Toru, what are you doing in here? This is a woman’s locker room.”

“I know I thought I heard a woman screaming and then I heard your voice, so I came to check if you were ok.”

She sighed and pushed her dripping wet hair from her face. “Yeah, I’m ok I slipped in the shower, and then I realized I brought my phone into the shower, so I came to put it away, only to drop everything inside of my bag.”

Oikawa was about to bend down and help. “Here let me help.”

Y/N held up her hand and replied, “it’s ok I got it.” She gathered all her items and put it all away along with her phone.

Just as she was about to get up, the water that had been dripping from her body and hair gathered on the floor and made the tiles slick. Her foot slipped and she was about to hit the ground hard when Oikawa grabbed her in time before she could. However, Y/N lost her hold on the towel around her body and it exposed her chest and curves to his naked eyes. He quickly turned his head away while keeping a secure grip on her.

“Ahh! Don’t look!” she screamed and slapped her hands over her breasts. “Did you see anything?”

Oikawa swallowed and wished he could tell her no, but he sort of caught a glimpse at the body he had been craving to touch and feast his eyes on since he met her. So, he should opt to keep quiet.

“It’s ok, it’s nothing I haven’t seen before!” Except he panicked and opened his mouth.

“What does that even mean you jerk!” He could feel her try to pull away from his arms.

“Wait that came out wrong, I swear!”

Oikawa turned back around and felt blindsided by Y/N’s beauty. She was soaked to the bone, but never did she look more beautiful to him than in that moment.

“You’re so….” He trailed off. She looked at him a little confused and quit trying to pull away.

“So what?”

He leaned in and caressed her cheek. Oikawa didn’t finish his sentence and instead just connected their two lips. As he sensually captured her lips, Y/N eagerly responded back to him as if she had been desperately waiting for this just like he was. Keeping one hand on her chin to angle her face, his other hand traveled down to her naked bosom. He reverently caressed and tweaked her dusky peaks while expertly maneuvering the kiss. Y/N whimpered with want when his tongue brushed up against hers. He smirked at her reactions as her breathing started getting more erratic and her cute noises became louder and louder. They only broke apart when he heard people approaching the locker rooms.

Just as Oikawa was about to move away from Y/N, she grabbed his hand.

“The far-left shower at the end,” she jerked her head towards it.

He smiled with excitement knowing that she wanted to continue as much as he did. Grabbing and picking her up like she weighed nothing, he hurried to the shower and tugged the shower curtain shut.

Just in time too as he could hear women laughing and talking in Portuguese.

“Y/N, você está aqui?” a woman called out.

Y/N for her part looked startled at being addressed and pushed away Oikawa’s hands that were still playing with her chest.

“Sim, ainda estou aqui,” Y/N responded in a clear voice. She shot a warning look to Oikawa as his hands found themselves back on her hips and making their way back up. He only cheekily smirked at her and returned to pawing at her cleavage. She waited for a few minutes to hear her friend’s footsteps retreating before pulling Oikawa closer and aggressively kissing him. He tugged the towel around his waist off and hiked Y/N’s silky legs around him.

He carefully maneuvered to turn the shower’s knob and set her against the wall while a jet of hot water poured over them. And Oikawa went right back to devouring her mouth and grinding against her hot cunt. As soon as his cock made contact with her tingling clit, Y/N’s body spasmed and she tried to tug him closer. Her ankles interlocked at his waist and she tried to thrust below to encourage him to enter her. But he only chuckled at her excitement and continued to slowly slide back and forth. Y/N forgetting for a moment where she was exactly, enraged by his teasing smacked his thigh loudly enough to echo in the locker room. Oikawa let out a low grunt and thrust full throttle into her. Her eyes widened at the sudden entry and she couldn’t even contemplate the fullness before he withdrew quickly once again.

“Fode me o meu amor,” Y/N begged.

Oh, that just wasn’t playing fair. He didn’t know what she said but her breathless voice and her needy eyes made him helpless.

As if he could no longer bear to be apart without the drenched enclosed intimacy, he reentered without warning. Oikawa fucked her with the same hell-bent concentration he played volleyball with. She covered her mouth with her hand to contain the moans, that only muffled the noises rather than stopping them completely. The faster pace caused Y/N to skid up and down on the shower walls. She tried to find purchase against the tiles, but the hot water droplets caused her to loosen the grip. His breathing got heavier and uneven, why was it he could handle hours of volleyball, but the vise grip of her cunt made him want to spill inside of her like an immature adolescent? He removed her hand covering her moist lips and thoroughly kissed her. He swallowed her moans and they stood in the shower making love for god knows how long. His hand found her engorged clit and his middle finger started pressing slow circle while his thumb and point finger started pinching it in time to his thrusts. Just as she was about to cum, Y/N buried her face in his neck. She bit down hard on his shoulder trying to contain the shrieks she wanted to let out. It wasn’t long before her spiral started to pull him as well, the constriction creating a perfecting suction to swallow his juices. He placed a hand on the wall to stabilize himself just before he pulled out of her and came all over her thighs. The water soon washed away all the evidence of their tryst as it flowed down the drain.

“Does the hot water feel that good?” Y/N’s friend called out. Soon of the other ladies started giggling and laughing along. “We’re leaving! See ya, Y/N!”

The two of them didn’t move from their spot until they heard the sounds of lockers being shut and the ladies’ voices being fading further and further away.

“I think they knew…” Y/N gasped a little embarrassed and horrified.

On the other hand, Oikawa kept smiling like a goof. “I love beach volleyball now! It’s my favorite kind.”

She let out a frustrated groan. “Just get out of my way. I need to get dressed before I prune even more.”

“Maybe next time you should call me papi,” he hollered out as Y/N started to dry herself and got dressed.

“There won’t be a next time if you don’t get your butt dressed soon or I’ll leave you behind.”

Y/n when she was all dressed up and ready to go, waited for him outside of the resting area. He came out joyfully whistling away and ready to leave. Oikawa slung his arm over Y/N’s shoulder and pulled her close. He was finally taking the chance to get closer to her like he always wanted.

“You’re going to be a handful, aren’t you?” she asked tickled with his antics.

He leaned in and pecked her forehead. “You know it,” Oikawa said with a wink.

Hey :) Can you do a Steve x fem Henderson imagine where Murray outs their feelings for each other in front of everyone. Then they have a cute fluffy one on one moment??

Never Wrong

Notes: thank you for requesting something and I apologize if it's shit. It's my first time doing a request so I tried to make it as good as possible. It takes place in season 3 right when they start forming their final plan. Enjoy! 💕

P.S. English is not my native language, so please excuse any spelling or grammar mistakes.

~~~

As the party was explaining to you all that has been happening with eleven and the mindflayer, you where as close to Steve as you could be. You felt safe around him and after what you went through with the Russian bastards you couldn't leave his side.

To others it seemed like it was nothing, just two friends being there for one another, but for you it was everything. You weren't sure when you started to have feelings for Steve, but you were certain there was more when he was flirting with all those girls. You just felt so jealous and mad, but you never said anything. How could you? He clearly had no interest in his best friend's sister. In your mind he probably saw you as a sister too.

When Steve asked the group a question, your eyes fell to his face. It hurt you to see him like that. Bruised and covered in dried blood. He didn't deserve it. You started to stare and as he noticed, something caught both of your attention.

" Yoohoo! Yoohoo! " it was that crazy guy Murray. He was throwing his hands in the air and holding some papers. He motioned you to come around him and he began to explain.

"Ok, this is what Alexei called 'The Hub' . Now 'The Hub' takes us to the vault room"

" Okay, where's the gate?" Hopper asked him.

"Right here. I don't know the scale on this but I think it's fairly close to the vault room maybe 50 feet or so." Murray said pointing at the sketch in the paper.

" More like 500" Erica interrupted and now all of the attention was on her. Murray just gave her a very confused look

" What you're just gonna waltz in there like it's commie Disneyland or something?" Erica continued and you smirked. Over the last hours you had started to enjoy this little girl's sass.

" I'm sorry, who are you?" Murray asked her like she was a nobody.

" Erica Sinclair. Who are you?" she replied quickly.

" Murray.. Bauman." he answered looking quite thrown away but her behavior.

" Listen, Mr Bum-man, I'm not tryna tell you how to do things, but I've been down in that shithole for 24 hours and with all due respect, you do what this man tells you, you're all gonna die! " she looked at the rest of the guys.

" I'm sorry, why is this 4 year old speaking to me?" Murray laughed slightly.

" Um, I'm ten you bald bastard! " Erica almost screamed at him.

" Erica! " Lucas interrupted them to try and calm his little sister down.

" Just the facts " she answered him.

" Okay let's just all calm down." you said and went closer to Erica "She's right, you have no clue what's going on down there, but we do. If you could give us a moment to ex-"

" Nope, you all are children how could you possibly know what the best thing is for us to do? " Murray yelled at you.

You never took yelling good. Even if it was for nothing it always made you feel stupid and anxious about what you were saying. As a result, a knot started forming on your throat.

" Um.. I was just gonna s- suggest.. " and now you were loosing your words. Luckily someone noticed and stepped up to save you.

" Man, with all due respect you know way less than we do. We spent a whole day in there." Steve said touching your lower back. It sent shivers down your spine.

" And almost got killed, kid." Murray said and as he saw the sight of you nearly to tears he sighed " Alright, I'm gonna listen to you, but first take your girlfriend outside and try to calm her down." he said shushing you away.

Everyone was shooked and both you and Steve were by now looking like tomatoes. Steve cleared his throat and answered " Um.. We're not uh.. Dating, but I'll get her to relax a bit." and started pulling you away from the group.

Murray just looked at the both of you and started laughing. Hopper elbowed him and he stopped "Wait, you're - they're serious?" he asked pointing at the two of you and Hopper nodded "God... Why is everyone so oblivious of their feelings in this group?!" he said desperately.

You just ignored him the best you could and started walking further away of them. You sat down next to a hot dog store and Steve followed your actions. He noticed your heavy breathing, so he started rubbing your thigh as a way to calm you down. You immediately looked at his hand and he stopped.

" Um.. Sorry, probably not the best thing to do after what the hell that was." he laughed nervously.

" No, it's.. It's OK." you said and rested your head on his shoulder. He continued rubbing your thigh, but this time his touch was more gentle, like you were fragile and he didn't want to break you.

Your thoughts started replaying what Murray had said. Could it be true? Was there really something between you two and you were just too blind to see it? Before you could ask anything else Steve answered you like he was able to read your thoughts

" He's right, you know." was his only answer. Even of you knew where it was headed you looked at him confused and he continued "That Murray guy, he's.. He's right.. There are some feelings I have that you probably didn't know of."

" Steve.."

" Look, I know that you're my best friend and that I'm also your brother's best friend, but if today may be mine or.. God forbid it, yours last day in this world, I just.. I need you to know that.. I like you Y/N" he said while looking deeply into your eyes.

You were shocked. You couldn't believe it "What? No, you're joking.. What about those other girls?"

Steve slightly giggled " The girls were just a distraction to keep my thoughts away from you, as I didn't believe you would feel the same." you still looked shocked and confused, but he just smiled down at you and placed your hair behind your ear.

" So, you.. You like me? " you asked him hopefully, but he started looking more nervous than before. Like he had just realized what he had said to you and what the outcome of this could be.

" Yeah, I do.. But it's totally fine to not like me back, I mean why would you like a guy who only hangs out with children. I mean you can do so much better than me and-" you stopped him before he could continue and what other better way of doing that than kissing him.

It was a slow, but passionate kiss. And it was nothing like what you had imagined. It was a hundred times better. His lips, even bruised, were soft and the way he pulled you closer to him had you melting into his touch.

" Alright, guys we have a pl- Aaagh, what the hell?" you pulled away from Steve and saw your little brother covering his eyes. Your cheeks started burning again and you hid your face in Steve's chest, while he just chuckled over the whole situation. You slapped his chest and he just laughed harder.

" Steve, I swear to God.. " Dustin warned him.

" What? It's not my fault your sister is the greatest person I've ever met. You should blame her for being so perfect that she made me fall for her." he answered taking your hands in his. Dustin only made a burfing sound and walked away of the two lovebirds.

" Jesus.. Murray you little piece of shit. " Dustin told him

" I'm never wrong, kid." was his answer as he looked at your loving stare. He could never get bored of putting two people in the right direction.

~~~

Okay... That was it. I'm sorry if it sucked, but this is what I came up with. If you liked it and you have an idea just ask me. I do Stranger Things, Marvel and the Vlog Squad (as those are the ones I know most of). Thank you 💕

Make a Wish [Chapter 2]

Zen x Reader

Mystic Messenger x Puella Magi Madoka Magica

With one impulsive wish, comes many dangers and responsibilities.

[Masterlist]

The events were playing out exactly as they had in the game. You bit your lip as you alighted the bus to reach the area where Rika's apartment was. Kyubey did not seem to be bothered by the people jostling him when you were taking the bus.

'Am I the only Magical Girl here, Kyubey? Or are there more?' You wondered as you walked down to the apartment complex.

'You are not alone. I can say that there are easily just as many Magical Girls in this universe.' Kyubey licked his paws before staring at you.

'I just hope that I'm not intruding on another girl's space...' You sighed before you followed what Saeran had instructed you to do. Pressing the passcode to the apartment, you went in. As you stepped into the room, lines of code filled your screen as a chatroom loaded up.

You shut the door behind you, reading through the conversation.

Yoosung: Failed my midterms fml T_T

Yoosung: [Crying emoji]

707: Cus you played LOLOL all night lol

Jumin Han: If you want to work for our company, you should take care of your GPA.

Yoosung: I'm still on the list? +_+

Jumin Han: Yes.

707: Nice~ Can't believe u get to work straight after college lol

707: In this day and age!

You gave a small chuckle as you read the conversation. It was taking a while for them to realize your presence in the chatroom. However, you still enjoyed their interactions with each other.

707: Wait!!

Yoosung: Why?

Zen: ??

707: Think someone entered the chat room;;

Jumin Han: Isabel...?

Zen: Wtf. How did it get in here?

707: Hacker!

Yoosung: Hacker?! Therae's a hacker in over room!!!

Yoosung: Sevnee do somethign!!

Zen: Hey, typos -_-;;

The chatroom exploded in a fit of confusion and fear. You took a seat on the cushy couch as you exhaled heavily through your nose.

(Y/N): Hello...

Yoosung: Gahhhh it's talking!!

Yoosung: [Shocked emoji]

Zen: So it's not two smartphones

Jumin Han: Who is it?

Yoosung: Find out what it is!

Jaehee: How did you find out about this place? Where did you download the application?

You exhaled again. Just as it had played out before. Kyubey had decided to wander out of your purse, sitting on your lap as you popped a caramel candy into your mouth. You indulged Kyubey with one of the caramel candy squares as you typed your response.

(Y/N): Reveal yourselves first. I'm the most confused one here...

Jumin Han: How fierce.

Zen: Are you a woman?

707: Zen. Be more serious, plz?

707: And wait a sec on the woman thing.

707: Looking it up.

707: [Yoohoo emoji]

Jaehee: Such a search violates privacy laws.

707: Ya. I'm only saying I'm looking it up.

707: No evidence that I'm actually hackginh

Yoosung: Seven, that's obviously a lie. lol

Yoosung: And I know that typo's on purpose.

Yoosung: Still...

Yoosung: Won't it tell us about itself if we tell who we are first?

Zen: To be honest...

Zen: I agree with Yoosung.

Jumin Han: More like you want to show off who you are.

Yoosung: Should we...introduce ourselves?

Jumin Han: Are you serious...?

Jaehee Kang: I think it is a bit too early for that.

Zen: Hi. I'm Zen. (24 yrs old) Musical actor...Don't look me up on the internet.

Zen: It's embarrassing.

Yoosung: Zen, you are so brave!

Jumin Han: Guess he wanted to show himself off.

Zen: No way~!

Zen: [Photo]

Yoosung: Omg...A photo too.

You felt your cheeks tingle as you looked at his photo. He was beautiful. You curled up, pressing your burning face into your knees. You felt affection creep into your heart. The reason why you had made that wish with Kyubey was finally talking to you.

He did not know you, but you knew him... It felt painful to you as you continued chatting in the chatroom.

'But at least...He's real this time...' A thought whispered. You nodded to yourself as you finished your conversation with the RFA. You agreed to join and help with their parties.

"Ha..." You wiped your face with your hands before smiling to yourself. You could finally achieve your dreams here.

Summoning your Soul Gem to check on it, you noticed that it was glowing brightly. A Witch was nearby.

"Let's get going Kyubey. Best to start on my stockpile before I lose my powers."

Meanwhile, in an underground bunker, Seven blinked in confusion as he stared at the security footage. What was that glowing object in your hand? And where were you going after entering the apartment of secrets?

He chewed on his hoodie's strings as he stopped to ponder. While his quick background check had come up with an innocuous record, your behavior on the footage was strange. You seemed to be talking to some invisible force.

Could it be Rika's ghost? Seven shivered before shaking his head. He was thinking too much. He still needed to look into the hacker. He could always check in on your strange behavior later.

Long Black, Three Sugars | Tyson Jost

Plot: Just your typical coffee shop AU Word count: 2197 Note: I was going to post this when Josty got called back up to the Avs but now he’s injured so rip my sanity I guess

There was really only one upside to your job, and that was the unlimited coffee. You needed it, because you usually took late shifts at the 24 hour coffee shop; it gave you a chance to go to work after college, and still study. After all, the shop was always quiet during the late shifts. Who drank coffee at midnight?

Well, you. With an important exam coming up, you needed to focus, and it didn’t help that your eyes felt like they were closing on their own. It could have something to do with the fact that you never got more than 5 hours of sleep at night. Even coffee, you’d found, couldn’t really combat that.

Didn’t mean you couldn’t try, though. And so you made yourself another mocha latte with not one, not two, but three shots of espresso, and forced your eyes back on the pages of your book.

The only sounds were the soft music of the Spotify playlist you’d put on - appropriately called 'coffee shop' - and the noise of the city outside, cars passing by, people talking as they strolled past the building. The noise was comforting to you, familiar, and you hummed along to the song that was currently playing. There was only one sound that could rip you rudely out of your tranquil state of mind, and it was the ring of the bell that was hanging from the front door.

You took a deep breath before putting a welcoming smile on your face and turning towards the customers.

“Good evening, what can I get you?”

The two guys that stood in front of you were still staring at the menu, which gave you a chance to stare at them. Because holy shit were they attractive. One of them with blondish red hair, the other dark curls, they were both wearing suits. You always liked a guy in a suit, but you had to admit these two took it to another level.

“You want anything, Josty?” the one with red hair asked, and the other one just shook his head. “Just one large americano, then, please.”

You smiled. “That’ll be 3,40.” The guy handed you the money and you turned to the machine. You could almost feel their eyes in your back as the machine rumbled to life.

“Who drinks coffee at midnight?” the other one, that had been called Josty - you imagined that was some sort of nickname, and wondered where it came from - snorted, and you couldn’t help but giggle. “See, she thinks it’s weird too.” You hadn’t meant for him to hear you, but the smugness in his voice was kinda cute, so you didn’t mind too much.

“What person doesn’t like coffee at all?” his friend shot back, and you had to admit that was pretty weird too.

You turned around and handed him his coffee. The other guy caught your eye and for a second, you both just looked at each other.

“Yoohoo, Tyson, you coming?”

Tyson. That was his real name. You smiled at him and he turned around, the tips of his ears turning red, and then the other guy, who you still didn’t know the name of, yelled a thank you and the door closed behind them.

Guess there were two upsides to your job, after all.

It was Friday morning, the coffee shop filled with people who needed a pick me up on their way to work, when you saw him again. You spotted him coming in despite how busy you were, and somehow managed to push past your colleague to meet him at the counter.

“Thought you didn’t like coffee?” you asked lightheartedly, and to your surprise, Tyson started laughing.

“JT was just being mean for no reason.” He squinted at the menu. “What would you recommend?”

“Depends. You a dark roast kinda guy?”

Your question seemed to confuse him, his eyebrows scrunching together in adorable fashion. “Uh, yeah, sure,” he stammered. It was clear that he had no idea what you were talking about.

“I’ll get you a long black. It’s similar to an Americano, but stronger.” You turned around too quickly to notice the look of apprehension on Tyson’s face. “What name can I put on the cup?” you asked. You already knew his name, but that seemed like a creepy thing to remember about someone who you only saw once before, so you didn’t dare mention it.

“Tyson Jost.” Ah, that’s where the nickname came from.

“How about I just put Tyson?” You scribbled his name on the cup and he paid for his drink. Before walking to the end of the counter to collect his coffee, his eyes flashed to your name badge.

“Y/N,” he said, almost like he was trying out how it sounded on his lips. “Now that you know mine, it seems only fair that I know yours.” He flashed you a toothy grin and you couldn’t help but laugh.

“Have a nice Friday, Tyson.”

“You too.” You watched him as he grabbed his coffee, walked to the pot of sugar at the end of the counter and dumped three sugars in his drink, so much sugar you wondered if he was even going to taste the coffee. Someone with a body like that shouldn’t be eating sugar at all; you had to even look at that sugar pot and you gained four pounds.

You shook your head and turned to the next customer.

“Hi, what can I get you?”

After having to deal with Friday’s morning shift you were ready to go back to your quiet night shift, but Saturday night was always the worst shift of the week, bringing a bunch of drunk people in. There was only a small group of them, but they were loud, too loud to focus on your coursework. So you just gave up and stared at the door, willing someone more interesting, and less drunk, to come in. You hadn’t expected him, but when a familiar guy with dark curls stepped through the door, you couldn’t stop the grin from appearing on your face.

“Hey, you again,” you said, and he almost looked guilty.

“Yeah, I, uhm, I…”

“He was here this morning, but you weren’t, so he came back.” Only now did you notice that his friend from the first night, who you now knew was called JT, had followed him through the door. At JT’s words, Tyson turned bright red, and mumbled a soft: “Shut up, Comph.”

With anyone else, it would have been creepy, stalkerish, even, but for some reason your heart merely fluttered at the statement.

“I work night shifts, except on Friday,” you told them, ignoring JT’s “Remember that, Josty”. “What can I get you guys?”

“I’ll have a long black, three sugars.” Tyson looked over his shoulder, towards the drunk guys in the corner. He seemed jittery, and you wondered why.

“Josty here says it’s got a bit of kick, and I really need that, after tonight’s game, so I’ll get one too.” JT nodded, and you started making their drinks.

“Game?” you asked, not wanting the conversation to die.

“We play hockey,” Tyson explained, and you frowned.

“Really? With the suits, I thought you were like, businessmen or something.”

“Sorry to disappoint,” said Tyson, a sly smile on his face, and you leaned forward as you handed the guys their drinks.

“Who said I was disappointed?” It came out a bit more flirty than you’d meant for it to, but as one of Tyson’s eyebrows lifted up and a smirk appeared on his face, you couldn’t say you regretted it.

“Duly noted.”

One of the drunk guys pushed over a chair, and you couldn’t stop the sigh from escaping your mouth. Tyson motioned towards them.

“You alright with them here?”

“They’re annoying, but it’s part of the job.” In reality, you always felt a bit uncomfortable with people like that around, and you couldn’t wait for the moment they would finally leave. Unfortunately, none of them seemed to be planning to, anytime soon.

“We can hang out for a bit,” said Tyson, and when JT opened his mouth, you just caught sight of Tyson kicking him against the ankle.

“Yes,” JT breathed out. “Yes, we can.”

You threw Tyson a few packets of sugar, saving him the trip to the end of the counter, and pointed to a few stools. “Grab a seat.”

After that night, Tyson came in at least four times a week. Sometimes JT was with him, sometimes not, but more often than not, he ended up drinking his long black sitting at the counter, talking to you. He was so easy to talk to and you found yourself looking forward to his visits, more than you probably should.

You would be lying if you said it didn’t help that he was so god damn attractive.

But then, one day, he didn’t show up. You’d watched the Avs game - you’d never been a hockey fan, but after he’d mentioned one day what team he played for, you’d started watching - and it had been a pretty brutal game, so you figured he was just tired. But then he wasn’t there the next day, or the day after, and a week went by with you only seeing him as a tiny figure on your television screen.

You missed him. You shouldn’t be, hated to admit it to yourself, but you enjoyed his company and was perhaps harboring a little bit of a crush towards him, and you’d gotten used to his frequent visits.

It was on a Monday, when he finally showed up again.

“Hey,” you breathed out, when he stepped through the door. He wasn’t wearing a suit this time, instead opting for sweats and a hoodie, and in some way, it made him look even better. Or maybe it was just cause you hadn’t seen him in a while. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, etcetera, etcetera.

“Hi,” he smiled, leaning against your counter. There was nobody else in the shop, as it was after midnight already. “It’s been a while.”

“I was starting to wonder if you were cheating on me with another barista,” you teased, then, when you realized how that sounded, you blushed. Luckily, he started laughing.

“I would never,” he hummed, and his eyes seemed to search your face for something. “Missed me?”

Yes, your heart screamed. But he was just a guy who wanted his nightly pick-me-up, and so you simply smiled.

“Who else would I make long blacks for? Those other people are so boring, with their cappuccinos and macchiatos.”

For a second, it seemed like he was about to say something, but then he thought the better of it and simply shrugged.

You handed him his coffee and threw him three sugar packets; you’d learned that that was the amount of sugar he liked in his coffee. He opened one, dumped it in, opened two, dumped it in, opened three, and spilled it all over the counter.

“Oh, fuck,” he cursed, hurrying to scoop up the sugar with his hands, as if there was anywhere to go with it after. “I’m so sorry.”

“It’s okay,” you smiled, pushing an empty cup his way. “Throw it in here. You want a new one?”

Tyson sighed, a frustrated sigh, and you frowned. “It’s just a sugar packet, Tyson. No reason to get so mopey about it. I have about a million of them.”

“It’s not that,” he growled, and suddenly you noticed his cheeks tinted red. “It’s just… I can’t do this anymore.”

Now it was your turn to be surprised. “Do this anymore? Do what? Drink coffee?”

“Yes!” he said, a little too loudly, then groaned again and stuffed his hands in the pockets of his sweatpants. “Y/N, I don’t like coffee. In fact, I really fucking hate it. It tastes bitter, it looks like mud, and quite frankly, I’m more of a tea snob, myself.”

To say you were confused was an understatement.

“What do you mean you hate coffee? First of all, who in their right mind hates coffee? And second of all, you’ve been coming here to get coffee at least 4 days a week, for like, weeks!”

Tyson’s eyes fixed on the floor, and you could barely hear him as he mumbled under his breath. “What?” you asked, and he finally looked up, his dark eyes catching yours.

“I said, I only come here to see you.”

Your heart leaped and a smile broke out on your face. Upon seeing that, Tyson allowed himself to smile, too.

“You could’ve just asked me out, you know?” You leaned forward, resting your face in your hands, and Tyson positioned himself so that he was eye height with you.

“Y/N,” he started, a dramatic tone to his voice, “can you please go out on a date with me so I can stop drinking this bitter, black devil’s water?”

You giggled. “Yes, Tyson, I would love to go out with you.” Then, you shot him a smug look, and pointed to the menu, enjoying the look of horror on his face as you spoke.

“You know we have tea too, right?”

Okay, story time: So I went to the store right? I'm sick as a dog so I wear a mask, use sanitizer, am in my pjs-- the works y'know? Well I'm in the drink aisle and I'm looking for something to sustain myself and there's this grown dude behind me frantically looking for something-- One coworker goes to get another, and then another and then another until there's 3 coworkers and this one dude but one worker straight up comes SLIDING down the aisle. "I KNOW WHERE IT IS!" He valiantly pulls out a 24 can pack of Yoohoos and holds it up like it's fucking excalibur and hands it off to the guy who's just "YES!! THANK YOU!!" and in the strongest (which is v fucking quiet and broken mind u) voice I can muster I just say "Yoohoos, very important"

This dude looks me dead in the eye with the biggest smile on his face "Yes they are!" and I have never been more pleased with someone being so happy about something in my life okay. That guy made my day. Yoohoo dude, I hope you are fucking delighted to the MAX with ur choco drinks you beautiful man you.

Biggest and smallest long term goal?

I’d say graduating college with a PhD degree in zoology (with a specialty in herpetology, ofc) is his smallest long-term goal. Other small goals are probably moving into an actual house and (in his verse with Milo) getting married. His big dream is to, eventually, own and maintain a herptile sanctuary.

Preferred mode of dress and rituals surrounding dress

Hoodie, a memey t-shirt, jeans, brightly colored socks, and hi-tops that usually match the hoodie. Chances are, if there aren’t pit stains or food stains, he’ll wear the same shirt for a couple days until it starts to smell bad. Same goes for jeans. If he’s not out in public, he doesn’t do socks- he actually hates socks. If he’s somewhere outside, like the park or in a boat fishing, he probably won’t wear socks there either. Let those puppers air out. And I know I’ve said it before, but there’s usually at least one lizard chillin’ in his hood.

Favorite beverage?

Honestly?? I haven’t put much thought into this just because Tyrone inhales just about anything and everything, and drinks are no exception. Though he strikes me as a yoohoo sorta guy. He also probably likes those chocolate/vanilla/strawberry breakfast drinks that you mix with milk.

Is there one subject of study that they excel at? Or do they even care about intellectual pursuits at all?

Tyrone is surprisingly good with english/literature and biology! I think the Pines all sort of have a natural talent for writing of some kind, but biology is a topic Ty is actually interested in and cares to learn about. Would marching band in high school count as a subject? Because he was great at that too.

Are they more analytical or more emotional in their decision-making?

While Tyrone has the capacity to be analytical in his decision-making I think the majority of his conclusions come from his heart and are usually meant to be decisions that don’t harm or hinder anyone in the process. That being said, while he does his best not to step on anyone’s toes, Tyrone does have it in him to look at the bigger picture and choose things for the greater good.

How misanthropic are they?

Not very misanthropic? Idk, it depends on his mood. Most of the time he chooses to look on the bright side and be more of an optimist, but if his mood is low, then goddamn, does the rest of the world fucking suck.

Religion?

Doesn’t believe in anything. Or rather, he doesn’t care to acknowledge anything, seeing as he’s more than aware dieties and demons, etc exist. As long as you’re friends, however, he will respect your beliefs and go out of his way to research holidays/traditions/etc that are special to you because he loves you. I mean, he’ll respect your beliefs regardless but he goes the extra mile for his loved ones.

TO BE DESTROYED http://nycdogs.urgentpodr.org/yoohoo-a1108318/

YOOHOO - A1108318

TO BE DESTROYED 04/24/17: ****CAN BE PUBLICLY ADOPTED**** A volunteer writes: It was the perfect spring morning to meet the perfect dog! Absolutely stunning in his gleaming, soft, tan and gold coat, his weight perfect for his size, it’s clear that Yoohoo was lovingly taken care of before joining us. He’s easy peasy on leash, seems to be housetrained, knows how to sit and takes treats gently. If I dropped a treat, Yoohoo scrambled after it — so cute, he loves his treats!! Yoohoo and I hung out in the park, Yoohoo on the bench enjoying the sun on his face and giving me that fabulous smile that pitties are known for. Low key, calm, gentle, loves petting, ignored the park squirrels and other critters, he’s the perfect respite from a busy day and when we shared some kisses I swooned. Outside in a backyard pen, a bunch of small dogs were having their group play, and Yoohoo stood watching them, gently wagging his tail. In his own group session, he solicits and enjoys bouncy play. I fell in love with this gentle boy, and when our time was over he hopped back into his kennel and gave me another soft wag of his tail. It’s no surprise that he rocked his behavior assessment and is now just waiting for you to find him. He’s going to make an awesome friend! Another volunteer updates: Let’s play, let’s kiss, and then let’s play some more! This little guy who’s so quiet in his kennel, raided the toy box on his way out the door and we had some fun! Good on leash, likely housetrained, he walks with a toy in his mouth, and off leash gets the zoomies and plays a great game of keep away! So cute! He loves his toys, he loves to snuggle and give nibble kisses while snuggled comfortably in my lap. He’s stunningly gorgeous with a personality to match and is ready to adopt you as his family forever. Come meet him today!

Here’s everything coming to Netflix in March 2020 — and what’s leaving

Netflix Inc. viewers, perhaps inspired by the big Oscar wins by “Parasite,” will get a chance to brush up on their appreciation of subtitles as a selection of international series launch in March 2020. Those include Season 3 of Germany’s period mystery “Babylon Berlin” (March 1, after its original Feb. 28 release was pushed back); Season 3 of the Turkish magical action series “The Protector” (March 6); the Brazilian version of the hit reality series “The Circle” (March 11); Season 3 of the Spanish teen drama “Elite” (March 13); Season 2 of South Korea’s zombie action series“Kingdom” (March 13); and Germany’s “Unorthodox” (March 26), a miniseries about a young Jewish woman in Berlin who has fled an arranged marriage. And there’s plenty more for those who don’t want to read their TV, including Season 3 of the dark crime drama “Ozark” (March 27), a standup comedy special, “End Times Fun,” from Marc Maron (March 10), and a trio of original movies — “Spenser Confidential,” a comedy-thriller starring Mark Wahlberg as an ex-Boston cop in the latest adaptation of the iconic character from the Robert B. Parker novels; “Lost Girls" (March 13), starring Amy Ryan, a grim crime drama that premiered at Sundance; and “Self Made: Inspired by the Life of Madam C.J. Walker” (March 20), with Octavia Spencer starring as the first African-American self-made millionaire. Among older movies, Netflix NFLX, +0.33% is adding “Goodfellas,” “The Shawshank Redemption” and “There Will Be Blood" (all March 1) and 2011’s excellent “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy” (March 16), while “Black Panther” is jumping to Disney+ on March 3 and the final two “Lord of the Rings” movies, “The Two Towers” and “The Return of the King,” will leave at the end of the month.

Hi everyone,I decided to make an account on Instagram on a niche that I am personally a fan of, and see if I can get to 1000 followers in less than a month, and as the title spoils it I did. One thing to consider: I initially made the journal for myself, and halfway through it I decided to eventually publish it on here. Anyway, here is the journal, ask me anything you want in comments:07/19/2019 (+2=2 followers)Made Gmail account.Designed Logo.Made instagram account.Found hashtags.Learned how to repost, and copy paste handle bars.Posted my first 6 pictures.Followed few people.07/20/2019 (+29=31)Came up with the idea to make an extra account to only follow pages that I will repost from, and access via instagram chrome browser.Followed up, and made an extra account, and followed a dozen accounts.7/21/2019 (+20=51)Nothing exciting. I just posted 7 photos, and added about 70 people. I think starting tomorrow I will add 80 people, and post 8 pictures, it might be a little aggressive but I need to have more pictures on the account. I’m hoping to get to 100 followers in the next 2-3 days. Gradually, I will be following 100 per day and will be still way below the 6000 monthly limit.Did some reading on automated account following (not to be mistaken with buying followers). Found out about instagress.7/22/2019 (+30=81)Not much. Just did my thing. And the more I look into it, the more it looks like automation is not the way to go.7/23/2019 (+28=109)First time typing this on my phone. Anyway, it seems like everything is more effective in the AM and I get more followers & likes in the morning. I might start adding more people in the morning and post most pictures in AM.7/24 (+42=151)7/26 ( 218 followers- 457 following)Broke 200 followers WooHoooo. 200+ people decided to follow my account, that’s NUTS. Based on my calculation, if I keep going strong, I will have 1000 followers in about 3 weeks.I did a new design for the logo. It looks dope!I think soon I’m going to start following 100 people a day.I set a goal for myself to do a merch drop at 1000 followers, and I know it will probably be a big flop but it’s ok. I know there would be at least one buyer (myself).7/27 (255 followers - 552 following - LFR 15%)Quarter of the way to 1k YAAEEYA.I changed the account picture again. Looking at all the big accounts in my niche, none of them have a picture of a logo for their account, but rather a real picture. Which I guess makes sense because with a logo it just seems corporate and spammy I guess. I think I actually saw a dip in follow back in the morning when I had the new logo up. So anyway I changed the profile pic to a real picture.On average my posts got 38.75 likes today which compared to 255 followers gives me about 15% like to followers ratio which is good. After googling a little apparently, there is a term for it: LFR which stands for Like Follow Ratio.I officially started following 100 people a day, and reduce my number of posts to 4 a day. To boost my likes for each post, it makes sense to only follow 25 people at a time after posting a picture, considering that a lot of people might just like my latest pic first when they start following. So 4 pics a day, followed by 25 following each time. Let’s get to 1k follow babyyyy.I started engaging more with the people I follow by leaving short but specific to the post comments as much as I can. It really doesn’t take long to leave like 10 comments while in the bathroom at work.Also, I really gotta stop checking my account every chance I get, because I’m gonna burn out faster. I only gotta check my account when posting/following, and engaging with followers aka liking posts and comments.7/29 (338- 746)Had my first post get 80 likes, that was kinda cool.7/30 (374-853)That post with 80 likes, got to 179 likes WTH! I experienced my first mini viral picture I guess lol.8/2 (523- 1180)I passed 500 followers YOOHOO. Also, starting today I am doing three posts and each time adding 50 people.I have to figure out how to add those story things that are pinned at the top of the account page.8/3(577-1301)Going at a healthy 50 followers up a day which is more than I thought. Also, i proposed my first sponsorship to kinda throw shit at the wall, but it didn't stick.8/4 (631-1414)8/6 (740-1661)8/8 (834-1902)8/9 (890-2036)Sorry for the lack of posts. I moved across the states from VA, to WA. Shit’s wild out here (and expensive).I had a post that got more attraction again with around 1500 impressions and 200 engagements.Also, I DM’d an account in my niche with about 20k followers to see how much they charge for a shoutout and they charge $15 for post/story or $25 for 2 posts and 2 stories.Everything for merch drop at 1k followers is ready. I used my logo from that website on all the merch with 20% markup and it came out pretty cheap. I used Redbubble and have shirts, T-shirts, hoodies, mugs, stickers, phone cases, and steel water bottles. I think I will buy a shirt and a sticker to reward myself for all the hard work jk jk.Lastly, as of now, I’m posting 2 pictures a day(1 morning, 1 afternoon), and each time follow about 75 people. I’m getting 50-55 followers a day, and it looks like I will be hitting 1k followers in the next couple days :)8/10 (947-2151)That post from yesterday with 1500 impressions and 200 engagements got to 2622 impression, and 399 engagement WTF. that post is at the top of my pics of all time.I got 57 follows, that’s a new high for sure.I did a photo collage thing for my merch drop picture coming soon.Started to write the description for it to kind of thank people for 1k followers and then lastly introducing the merch. It’s not gonna be a short description for sure.8/12 (+1k followers!)Finally made it to 1k in 24 days. It’s been quite a journey, and I’ve had a lot of fun doing it. Honestly, after the first couple weeks, I spend maybe 10 minutes in the morning doing my morning post, following 75 people, and the occasional browsing of my feed, and 10 minutes in the afternoon for the same thing. Every once in awhile I have to go on the search tab and look up new pictures to stack for posts. I still have to work on not checking my account every 10 minutes, as it will burn me out eventually.I had another post go crazy and end up getting more than 3000 impressions, and 463 engagement, that’s crazy.I made the post for my merch and added the link to my page description. 0 sales as I predicted, but I will buy some for myself as soon as I move into my new place.Anyway, I will be keeping this journal and adding to it, but probably not as often anymore. Maybe once a week or something until I hit 10k and will publish it again.

Live Ledge #374: New Releases (Pt. 1)

This month's new release episode was originally supposed to be a typical two hour broadcast of recently-released tracks. But it became clear as the tracks were being compiled that a regular Live Ledge wasn't going to be able to contain all of the great tracks. It was an easy decision to make this a two-part extravaganza.

This decision was definitely a good one to make, as the very next day I was sent an epic three disc set designed to help legendary rocker Sonny Vincent's medical bills. As he says in the liner notes to the 3 dics, 76 track "Tribute to Sonny Vincent", "on January 3, 2016, my son, daughter inlaw and grandson were in a tragic gas explosion/fire. I immediately flew to the hospital in North Carolina, (and) when I arrived they were all on life support. I have been taking care of them for over 3 years now. It's been a long, tough road to get them the best recovery possible. My touring, recording, and art exhibitions came to a full stop. My identity and how I connected to the world changed. I'm taking care of my twelve-year-old grandson Cayden 24/7. Keeping him caught up in school, taking him to all his surgeries, therapy appointments, Boy Scouts, sports, etc."

A number of Vincent's friends, including the late Mike Hudson from the Pagans, helped put the tribute together. The last 45 minutes of tonight's Live Ledge includes a few highlights from the set, and you can purchase your own copy (and help Vincent's family) by paypaling $25 to [email protected]. It's well worth the cash.

As always, I hope everybody discovers a band or two they've never heard before! You can find this show at almost any podcast site, including iTunes and Stitcher...or

#4 3/22/18 - Team Pipeline

Yoohoo! :D It’s been a while since I last posted, so I’m going to have to do some make-up and talk about everything that’s happened recently! HOURS 3/4 - 3/10 : 17hrs (left early for spring break, was only able to enter a few days of 4-5hr workdays) 3/11 - 3/17 : +60hrs (came BACK early for remainder of spring break; pulled 10-12hr workdays almost every day for about a week straight... I get carried away when I have free time... ._.) 3/18 - 3/24 : 23hrs (avg. 7hr workdays) ROLES The main topic I’d like to speak about this week is the roles that are involved in this project. While I am simulating the role of Creative Director for this project, I also have a team of other artists and designers who are helping me to turn my concept art into 3D assets for designing a game off of this in the future! My objective is to create concept art that is 1) able to be easily translated into game assets by my team, 2) visually appealing and well-rendered, and 3) evocative of narrative, emotion, and meaning. My team consists of the following other roles:

Environment Artists (x2) The Environment Artists are in charge of taking larger assets that establish a large space and making them functional and modular. Most of our work together first starts by us talking about how pieces ultimately fit together in a space and breaking them into finer parts for understanding of how they are expected to be made into separate modular pieces. Mainly working in Maya and Substance Painter, we work together mainly in blocking out spaces in a sensible way and filling in the details with modular pieces which they design.

Prop Artists (x2) The Prop Artists are aimed to making the modular items which fill a scene and could be considered not only as modular, but also recurring and adjustable. Unlike the larger, more static environment pieces, these props are dedicated towards populating a scene with utility items and things that can be interacted with more directly.

2D Artists (x1) The 2D Artist is perhaps is one of the most flexible positions I have to work with. They are dedicated towards making any assets that are unique and pertain to the realm of 2D assets as opposed to building and actual meshes to be used in game. They are more the master of creating tools for the other team members to utilize, such as 2D art pieces, textures, masks/patterns/stencils, brush alphas, and more. We’ve been working closely together in trying to figure out designs of logos, symbols, and patterns that can be implemented to give greater depth to these assets as we continue forwards. Together, all of these artists work together to produce approximately 10 assets a week per each subject of space that we tackle each week. This past week, I was toiling on finishing up TWO environments: a lecture hall and a courtyard garden space for our Academy! :)

Check the blog out next week for more updates on how we’re improving the content of this project and the story and themes we’re portraying! :D Until next time!
