Introduction
For those who don't know me!!! Welcome to my (mostly twst) simp page! My name is Tuna! I'm 23, ace and nonbinary. You can use any pronouns for me, however I most prefer They/Them! I have severe anxiety and ADHD so I hope you will be patient with me and let me know if I become too chatty or overstep lines! My hobbies include creating art, listening to music, playing games and sometimes streaming. I'm not the best at interacting with others due to my anxiety, but I enjoy talking whether it be with close friends or shoving my ideas into the void of tumblr. I love simping for art, writings, music and all sorts of different medias! I love to hear/ see/ read and learn about everything yall make! I usually do art in my free time, but sometimes I like to play silly horror survival games, farm sims, and rhythm games. I've been doing art for around 7 - 8 years. I hope one day to work off my art, but I don't expect that anytime soon.
Anyways here are my favs from different medias! TWST - Floyd, Jade, Azul, Rook Lilia, Kalim, Ruggie Splatoon - Pearl, Marina, Frye, Callie Genshin - Klee (main #1), Alhaitham (Main #2), Tighnari, Fischel Prosekai - all of Wonderland X Showtime, Kanade, & Shiho Uma Musume - Gold Ship, Special Week, Silence Suzuka, Twin Turbo Obey Me - Beelzebub & Barbatos UtaPri - Natsuki Shinomiya
Games I like to play! TWST, Obey Me, ProSekai, Bang Dream, Splatoon 3, Phasmophobia, Fallout New Vegas, Devour, Minecraft, Sonic Adventure 1 & 2
Anyways thanks for getting to know me! One warning! Please do not ask insensitive questions or try to leave hate/ be extremely rude. I'm just going to block you as I really don't have time or the mentality for it. Its very hard to get on my bad side, but once you are, there's no coming back ok? I'm just trying to have fun here ^v^!

Hi, I'm Aria! Am now 24 years old >:3
Tumblr media
'tis me ^ (old art but it's all I got. resized to tiny. as I am.)
Tumblr media
'tis me too ^ (new art yay! resized as tiny once again.)
Any pronouns okay! I don't mind really! I use she/her for myself :3
Am writer!!! Aria0fGold in ao3 too, and a beginner artist! I have many interests :D But I'm currently hyperfixated on two, OMORI and Mahoutsukai no Yakusoku (Mahoyaku/mhyk for short). You're gonna see me talk a lot bout em.
──────⊹⊱✧⊰⊹──────
List of My OMORI AUs ehe
──────⊹⊱✧⊰⊹──────
Other interests are:
Detective Conan (Conan my disastrous son...)
Project Sekai (Emu is a sweetheart of a daughter and Akito is a rebellious son whose white knight card never came home)
AI: The Somnium Files (Mizuki and Iris are my daughters now and I will follow Boss to the ends of the world)
Pokemon (My childhood, only played up to B/W2 though and pmd sky? + the time one. It's been years since then)
TWEWY (Neku was a jerk but he was my jerk of a son and you're doing good sweetie)
Honkai Impact 3rd (Rarely play it now but Seele and Veliona are my daughters, Elysia and Eden are my queens)
Genshin Impact (Barely play it now too but Qiqi, Noelle, and Yoimiya are my daughters. And I hate Childe[lovingly])
Honkai Star Rail (Active in it, Asia server ehe. Seele all grown up now, proud of her. I hate Luocha and Kafka[lovingly])
And many more!!! Those are the ones I can list off the top of my head but there's lots more, like other anime, games, manga, manwha, manhua, songs (Mili)!
I love OCs too! I love anyone's OCs! I have a lot of OCs but you'll sometimes see me talking about mainly 5 (Alec, Ray, Water, Sephirah, Mel) + 1, the plus one is my OMORI OC that I've been neglecting for a while, sorry bout that Patch, dear.
──────⊹⊱✧⊰⊹──────
A list of my tags! I need this myself too:
aria rants - for when I talk about nearly anything
aria rbs - for reblogs (aria srb for self reblog)

There's more, I'm sure there's more, but I can't remember them... But those are the main ones I use anyway so that's fine!
──────⊹⊱✧⊰⊹──────
Some more stuff about me:
Can be very talkative, I like rambling in the tags a lot, I put many additional thoughts there ehe.
I adore Omori (character) a lot, he is the bestest ever. And I adore Cain Knightley very much, and Owen, and I am a caiowe/owecai shipper (they make me insane)
There's multiple ships that I like in OMORI. I like photobomb, as well as sunflower, and kel/basil (I failed you both I'm sorry I don't know your shipname), suntan, sunny/aubrey (I failed em too, I'm sorry my brain aint braining well with remembering shipnames). Even the polycule ships are nice too. And heromari, of course :D
Feel free to send me asks! or dms! or tag me! I don't mind really, I like interacting with people. But at the same time I can be an awkward bunny that also doesn't know how to interact with people... unless you're a mutual, you'll be seeing me a lot then >:3
It's a surprise really how I managed to have mutuals, I love yall <3
──────⊹⊱✧⊰⊹──────
Aaannndd that's a wrap! Might edit this in the future to add more or something but I'm satisfied with this for now! Thank you for reading and have a nice day ehe! :3

This is not related to the current topic of discussion of your asks so I hope you don’t mind me asking a random question. Do you think that Tumblr is a Jikook dominant app? Just by the amount of Jikook blogs and the number of likes/engagement they get, I feel like it is. I can’t be sure tho because I don’t have all the stats. In my opinion, I would say that most of the other social media sites are mainly Taekook dominated, although I’m not too sure for Reddit. Of course this is not competition or anything like that but I just found it interesting that Jikook are one of the more “popular” discussed ships on here. I wonder why that is? What does Tumblr have that attracted many Jikookers vs other ships? Do you have any thoughts on this, since you are more experienced with Tumblr? Do you think that I am perhaps wrong in my observations that Tumblr seems more Jikook-based? Why did you choose Tumblr as your main outlet to support Jikook? Anyways, I love your blog and I enjoy reading through the posts of how people came to find you!
Oh boy. Uhhh short answer, i have absolutely ZERO IDEA. 😅🤣 sorry!
Attempts at a longer answer can be made...
(Yoonmin not related. Just extra cute)
Tumblr media
Do you think tumblr is a jikook dominated app?
Again, sorry. No idea. I DO know there are also tons of blogs specifically for other ships. I've seen them. I've gone looking through some of them for specific events at times in regards to other duos or when one of yall sends me an ask about other shipper theories and then i gotta go deep dive into their spaces and figure out what the theories even are and why they exist. 😅 and on top of that, I'm following under 20 people here and some of those are book related blogs too. I also mostly stay out of the jikook tag unless I'm in the mood to deal with all that. So I'm possibly not the best person to answer this. I do also know that they were named in the top 10 tumblr ships of all time on tumblr in 2018. And they were only 1 of 2 real person ships on that list (I believe). What that looks like now? 🤷🏻‍♀️ nor can I speak for the stats of other sites.
Tumblr media
Is there something about tumblr that attracted jikookers? Why did i pick tumblr as my main outlet to support jikook?
I can't speak for others, but for me, it was mostly the character count and the ability to filter. Like I said above, I don't venture outside my dash page very often. So especially with my anons off, my tumblr experience is very drama free. While I block freely on Twitter and only follow a certain amount of people, the drama is easier to stumble across. On top of that, I CLEARLY like to talk and drone on and on. Tumblr allows me to do so a bit easier without character counts in a tweet limits. All that to say, I do have a Twitter account that I use, that I tweet about OT7, various duos and jikook on. I am mostly active in DMs on Twitter though talking to people/my moots.
Tumblr media
Otherwise, I don't have too many thoughts over it. I never spent too much time considering the why's or how's. I think it's just that the frequency of drama is usually lower on this site than others if i had to make a guess. And if you let the anons on. You can block their whole IP address if they cross lines, not just their account. Lol thank you for the ask! Its an interesting topic to consider!

Honestly I am kinda falling out sp/mano more and more. It still does appeal to me in a human AU. But since I don't read many human AUs in the first place that features sp/mano my shipping is still pretty limited(by choice, I am not blaming anyone). So yeah, sp/mano is kinda getting away from me without really meaning to.
The more I look at it the more I just can't stop seeing them as brothers or with a father-son relationship— this is due to chibi R/mano and also just how much R/mano is becoming my main comfort character the more personal stuff I go through. Comfort character leads to more research on the real country which leads to history based and non-history based headcanons(mostly non-history) and that leads to views and opinions. And going off of canon with how Sp/in raised him from a child to a young adult, well... I pretty much agree with non-shippers that it is weird if you view it in a human way. Don't get me wrong, sp/mano is a wonderful ship, I was REALLY big into it in my earlier years. But my views have changed. I appeal more to ge/mano and r/merica nowadays. Y'all go ahead and ignore me and keep on shipping sp/mano if you want though! I can't stop you nor will I ever!
I'm posting this because honestly? I have a lot of anxiety and guilt about admitting this for some reason. But I'm feeling better about just saying it out loud. Because tastes change. Personal views grow as the person grows. I see people encourage personal growth like this and then see some other people try to pressure change onto another person in order to make them ship(or think) the same thing, as if it were going to be the same as personal growth. Does that make sense? To me it does 😂 I'm just nervous I'll be attacked by the sp/mano community despite having more positive experiences than negative. But I still want to give voice to what I feel so maybe others won't feel so ashamed for not liking a ship, falling out of a ship, or just not being into shipping in general. I've honestly seen people bombard another person about WHY they don't ship this/that or why they no longer ship it or even why they don't LIKE shipping. And I always hated that. It annoys me. Shipping isn't everything in a fandom, the media and the experience is.
So....
Ship wars/discourse is not allowed on this blog. Everyone is free to ship anything here.
You can even still send me sp/mano based questions if you so desire however! I'm a multishipper but the only things I DO NOT tolerate are p/d/philic ships(we protect minors here!!!); just keep that to yourselves if you have the strong need to. This is the anonymous world of the internet and so I don't have the power to stop that sorta thing(other than blocking). Otherwise, always feel free to gush about or vent out why you love/hate a ship to me and I won't judge ya! Its all about personal preference, not everyone shares the same interests or views as another might and I hope this mindset someday spreads to other fandoms in the future.

Hi, I hope you're doing well :) I wanted to know if headcannons for Venti, Razor, and Fischl with a s/o who is the same gender as them, fluff and/or NSFW (preferably a dom reader) if you're willing.
Ah yes, once again I an slow af but here you go! This is sfw cause it's my first time writing fischl and razor!
Fluff and no warning- although there is some violence (not twords reader) I hope I got fischls speech patterns right
Tumblr media
Venti
Oh yes our lovely bard! He loves his boyfriend to the moon and back
Venti loves to tease you smh this tone deff bard
Be prepared to be pranked because venti is a little-
Loves to sing to you! Hes always singing you tunes, most of them ballads of love for you~
Of course his performances are not free, even for you! So he asks that you pay him in kisses, i mean it is only fair after such a lovely song
Chances are he confessed to you
Surprisingly venti was quite serious at first, of course as soon as you accepted that went out the window real quick
*sigh* he can only be serious for so long
Now let's say some absolute asshole decided to pick a fight about the two of you being in love~
✨He's the optimal height for punching bigots in the gut ✨
This could go one of two ways of course
One is “sass master” venti, they insult venti and he just doesn't care, he roasts them in a joyful rhyme, the amount of sass radiation off of him could kill a man
Or two, “you done fkd up” barbatos, if they make the ✨mistake✨ of insulting you when then hahahahahaha- the longer they aren't running the closer venti is getting~
Like i said, optimal height to punch bigots
Alright imagine venti dining the scene from howl's moving castle, i know you know what i'm talking about
Venting holding your hands, his little “ehe” as you stumble on nothing, telling you to keep your legs straight as you walk on air with the lovely bard
Yeah sign me up
Loves to playfully send gusts of air your way because only you know it was from him
Writes the most sappy love poems and has no shame in embarrassing you by reading them
In Fact he takes great joy seeing you get so flustered
He thinks your just absolutely adorable when you get all shy at his (very loud) declarations of love
The epitome of the “he's my b-o-y-f-r-i-e-n-d <3” meme
Tumblr media
Razor
He's so confused on his feelings
All he knows is that he likes you, a lot, like more than just lupical
Asks bennet for help (instant regret)
Bennet tells razor that what he's feeling is a crush, so bennet has to explain what that is
Razor is not very shy, he doesn't understand the feeling, he's very straightforward and determined to tell you
Straight up pinned you to a tree and said he liked you
Dork
Razor likes taking long walks in the forest with you, especially at night when the moon is really bright and you can see the stars shining in the sky.
Will every so often gently bite your cheek, this is a kiss, just accept it
Any gifts you give him are cherished in his wooden box. He’s adorable jbfjfbfjbgjbfjbdjfieufek
Razor is uhhhh, feral, he doesn't understand that there are going to be people who will have a problem with you two being together
He dose however, smell in the air that they are a threat
Haha they better start running or hope that you hold back razor
Probably barks and growls at them- witch 50/50 is enough to scare them off
If not, seeing some feral wolf boy with a greatsword sure as hell is-
He always gets a bit pouty afterwords and just wants to go back to wolvendom where he knows there aren't people
*can you feel the love tonight plays*
I know it sounds a bit creepy but razor likes to watch you sleep-
You just look so peaceful and he wants to make sure that your safe and sound
Likes when you play with his hair, head pats are an absolute must, please he loves them so much
Razor takes you to meet his lupical, and shhhh it includes boreas
They all love you and are very happy that razor is so smitten with you
Razor is very happy that the wolfs like you, afterall he loves you very much and wants his family to love you too
Tumblr media
Fischl :
Omg she gets SO flustered, i mean, how can she not when she has such a beautiful girlfriend
She has such a big crush on you it was adorable seeing her pine after you in her own little way
Oz is the best wing man (haha)
Seriously he's probably the one who talked fischle into confessing her feeling
She speaks in essays but one of the reasons she fell for you was that you accepted her
After her lengthy explanation of her feelings she's bright red waiting for your response
Just about combusts when you respond with “it would be my honor to become your beloved, meine Prinzessin der Verurteilung”
Oz ships it
Always holding your hand and likes to spend time with you, specifically she loves to go to places with lots of flowers, like windrise or starsnatch clif
Likes to monologue about her love for you but gets really shy and flustered afterwards
Likes when you brush her hair
Now let's say that some absolute peasant decided to trifle with the two of you while you were on a lovely date
“ARE YOU CAPABLE OF PERCEIVING SUCH TOMFOOLERY THAT IS TO BEFALL THIS OUTING OZ!? SUCH INJUDICIOUS SACRILEGE THAT IS TO SMEAR THE FAIR NAME OF MY BELOVED” “yes i am herring this shit mein fräulein”
Sis pops off
Please drag her away before she sets oz upon them- or idk,,,dont?
“Such an injustice shall not go unpunished, for i, Prinzessin der Verurteilung, will not have the love of my beloved be so easily trampled upon!”
Fischl is very protective and wont let people mock your relationship (and neither will best dad ozTM)
Yall are so cute like aknjfjdjfnjfjff
Please get an outfit with a matching color scheme she will be so happy
----------------------------------------------------❤

Ok so I finally got caught up on CMM (anon, I have a lot going on right now, maybe don’t send me over ten asks with spoilers in them… I pinkie promise I’ll post once I read it) and thoughts-
Obviously the big one is Shannon and Hope. I would’ve paid all my gems to talk to either one of them, but I’m still a little salty that we did have to pay. For such a short scene, they recycled 30% of the dialogue towards the beginning and that was annoying. It would’ve been so easy to make them unique. Hope absolutely would have been insecure and said ‘did anyone ask about me’, but Shannon wouldn’t. Shannon doesn’t care, she could’ve said something like “lol does anyone even remember me?” or “it’s totally fine, sounds like it was an original islanders only party”. The reasons they gave for not being there were pretty good, and it makes me feel better than in-canon they weren’t un-invited. Hope’s part was much longer than Shannon’s but I liked Shannon’s more.
My big issue with the phone calls was that Hope’s call was just… flat. In the villa, Hope was smiling all the time, super expressive and warm, and her call just seemed really… flat. It lacked a warmth that being BFFs with her merits. And the conceit, that she’s at a stuffy wellness retreat trying to schmooze a client with her boss, would’ve been really ripe for her being expressive. Like “omg thank god a normal person, I’ve been doing nothing but smiling and agreeing all weekend”. I did like how she expressed insecurity and then corrected herself, it showed a lot of growth. I just wish there would’ve been more sincerity and personality.
I’m not mad about Chelsea and Rocco. I kinda don’t think they’ll last, because Rocco will eventually move on and Chelsea is desperately trying to cling to the experience of the villa through him. But I feel like it was effectively foreshadowed, and seems pretty in character for the both of them. It’s not the redemption arc I was hoping for Rocco though, I still hope Rocco sits down with Lottie or Priya and properly apologizes.
Chelsea’s password being BRA? Jesus christ, give it a rest, FB. She has more than one personality trait. The CMM writers really just latched onto 1-2 cute moments with each character in the main season and decided “this is all they think and talk about”. Same with Hope saying pacifically again and Priya’s gauche sunflower print.
The escape room bit was fun, but I wish the riddles hadn’t been multiple choice (instead the typing in thing and if you get it right Chelsea’s excited but otherwise has stock lines like ‘not quite… it’s a mirror!’). Also it would’ve been more fun if another character was trapped with MC, just to see them try to solve it. The humor in that section was good though, I especially liked the reaction to throwing the box at the wall.
LOVED the new outfits, they’re all super cute but like… Why did I spent 10 gems when literally no one’s going to acknowledge the costume change?? Like surely someone would be like “what… happened? Why did you change?” or even “you changed because you’re the murderer and were getting blood off your clothes!”. But nothing.
I’m not super invested in the mystery, and I don’t really mind that. The characters and their reminiscing is more important. But like… I don’t think the clues were handled very compellingly. The clues aren’t really tied to any one specific person, and they’re not insight into how the murders took place or what enabled the person to get away. It’s just… Here’s a note Chelsea gave you, here’s a thing that was at the scene. I’d like it more if it was things like ‘a bare footprint, a half drank wine glass, a cypher with a puzzle attached’. Something that you could be like ‘x character wouldn’t know how to do that, x character likes wine’ etc. 
Also I don’t love how it seems like the murderer changes based on your choices? Like if they’ve coded it so that everyone’s possibly the murderer and it’s just revealed based on player choice who it is that’s not… A mystery… Like I’d much prefer if only 1 person was the murderer, or there was a pre-set killer for each victim.
Lucas died in my game (I’m romancing Priya), and there was a chance to flirt with him before he died. I know other people had Lottie die if Gary was the LI, so who dies if Bobby is your LI? Can you romance Lottie and the other person?
My eggs are still all in the ‘Noah’s the murderer’ basket.
I really hate how explicit the switch between the mystery and socializing has been. Obviously that’s a facet of everyone playing characters, but like three times now there’s been “let’s get back to the mystery!” or “let’s stop the mystery to socialize” and it just feels clunky and breaks up the story. I’d prefer if all of the characters collectively disregarded the characters they’re playing, except when clearly delivering dialogue in reaction to things, so that there’s less “are you in character right now or are you you?”. I’d also change it so that everyone really casually talks about their theories and the mystery but for the most part isn’t super invested in it. That way the player can choose to be the only one who cares about the mystery and solving it, or we can do away with the back and forth about it. I don’t know, I’m just not a fan of how we keep interrupting GOOD scenes like MC/her LI bonding, reminiscing with people, or Chelsea announcing her relationship to be like ‘lol let’s talk about a mystery’.
I’m shipping Lucas and Priya more than MC and Priya because when romancing her, Priya really doesn’t have any personality outside of ‘interested in MC’, versus when she’s roleplaying with Lucas or around everyone else she’s back to being herself. It’s creating this weird dynamic where the writing makes it seem like Priya is /uncomfortable/ or not herself when romancing MC, to the point where I feel guilty?? Like she seemed more in-character and excited when talking about a guy who dumped her than she has been when kissing and doing the nasty with MC all night. Like honestly you could replace her with Rahim in all her romance scenes and it would be more in-character for Rahim.
Overall I’m... Enjoying it. Like I’m not stopping mid-episode to do something else like I was with S3. But tbh I think I enjoyed Boat Party more, and I’m really only thinking about specific scenes and headcanons after putting my phone down (as opposed to S2 and S1 which lived in my head rent free after playing an episode) 
Maybe part of that is I have a really poor working memory and prefer to binge consume media instead of playing it week by week, so I lose interest each week. Once it’s fully released I’ll have to play it in one go and let yall know if it’s actually bad or I’m just bad.

special chemistry (candy, candy)
ship: Na Jaemin x Lee Jeno x Huang Renjun
characters: Na Jaemin, Lee Jeno, Huang Renjun
rating: general
word count: 1,098
 the title is from baekhyun’s candy lolol and this was based off the prompt: “do you really need all of that candy?” this took me like ten freaking years to write this, im sorry if the flow is weird. half of it was written was when i was really sleep deprived and the other half i had written at 3 am after sleeping for like five hours vkjsnldkdv. also it feels very renmin heavy bc i really like their dynamic and wanted to build on it. but please enjoy and feel free to send a message/ask about it :DDD
“Do you really need all of that candy?”
“Come onnnnnn, it’s not even that much!”
I glance at the cart I’ve been pushing around for the last hour, the contents nearly spilling over the top, and look back at him. 
“Okay, maybe I did go a bit over the top, but you can’t blame me. The house, and I, have been seriously sugar deprived.”
“Jaemin, this is our fourth time here in a month. You’re not deprived, you’re dependent.”
“Well, if you feel like that, then me and my candy are leaving.” He pouts, but I can tell it isn’t sincere due to the sparkle in his eyes. He pulls the cart into another aisle, leaving me behind. I stand there for a while until I feel my phone buzz. 
My ☀️: are you coming 🥺
I roll my eyes as I turn the corner. There isn’t many people in the shop so it was easy to spot the cart, which is being manned by two people. I creep up and pull the person nearest me into a chokehold.
“RENJUN! Let go of me!”
“No, this is your fault. You enable him too much and that’s how we end up here all the time.”
“You don’t enable him enough.” 
I glare at him before ruffling his hair and letting him go. “That isn’t true and you know it. Besides, we barely have enough room in the kitchen to fit all of this. Can’t we just take some stuff out?”
“Jeno, don’t you dare let him. By the time he’s done, the cart will be empty.”
“That’s the point!” 
Jeno puts his hands in his pockets and shrugs. “My moon, just let him buy what he wants and he can suffer consequences.”
“Don’t “my moon” me. You know that we’re gonna be the ones taking care of him when he gets a stomachache again. I refuse to watch Beauty and the Beast for 45th time.”
Jaemin pipes up. “I will not stand for Beauty and the Beast slander. It’s a masterpiece.”
“Then sit. “
“Okay, how about this: my sun, we will take out some of the more expensive stuff but we’ll get everything else. And then, my moon, we’ll visit that hotpot place you like down the street and I’ll make sure that Jaemin doesn’t eat any of this until tomorrow afternoon. Sound like a plan?”
“My star, no wonder the two of us make up the better half of this relationship.” Jaemin slides an arm around his waist and smiles blaringly at Jeno.
I huff, throwing my hands in the air. “Jaemin, that’s not even how basic math works!”
“Who says it doesn’t work like that?”
“Anyone who knows two shits about math!!!”
We argued all the way until we got to the cash register. I reluctantly scanned everything in cart, ignoring Jaemin’s excited stare and Jeno’s content one. When I pulled out my card to pay, a hand stops.
“Renjun, you really don’t have to pay for it. I can do it, since I’m the reason we’re here.”
“Jaemin, it’s fine. I don’t mind. I might complain a lot, but I like being here, especially with you two.” I hold his hand and lean in, whispering. “Besides, you can share some of the chocolates we bought as collateral. Deal?”
“Deal.”
“Lovely. Now that’s dealt with, let’s leave Jeno to deal with the bags while we go warm up in the car.” Jaemin and I link arms and walk away quickly so Jeno’s shouts grow softer and softer. We climb into the car, both of us in the backseat. We’re both breathing heavily and when we lock eyes, we start laughing hysterically. Even as the trunk opens to a slightly annoyed Jeno to when he climbs into the driver’s seat, we couldn’t stop laughing.
“You know, sometimes it feels like you two gang up on me almost as much yall do it to each other.”
Jaemin gives him a kiss on the cheek. “Yeah, that’s because of the law of equivalent exchange. You give us love and devotion in its original form and we give it back to you in the form of bullying. See? Completely fair.”
“That sounds like the complete opposite of fair. Renjun, back me up here.”
“Shhhhhhh, let’s drive. There’s a bowl of hotpot with my name on it.” Jeno grumbles, but we catch each others eyes in the rearview mirror. I smile at him, and his eyes run into crescents that make me want to call him “my moon” instead. He puts the car in drive and pulls out of the parking lot, the quiet hum of the car almost lulling me to sleep. I look over to my side, but Jaemin is already knocked out and snoring softly. 
 I lean forward in my seat to talk to Jeno. “I’m amazed at how fast he falls asleep sometimes.”
“Well, he didn’t sleep last night. I’m surprised he didn’t knock out earlier.”
“Did he have a nightmare or something?”
“Nope, he just didn’t feel like it.” I frown and look back at him. He looks so peaceful that I really don’t want to disturb him. 
“Maybe we should-”
“Order it to-go and eat it at the house?”
“You read my mind, my star. Thank you.” He hums in agreement and I sit back. Once we arrive at the restaurant, I go in and pick up the food. I open and close the door gently, trying not to disturb him. Then, we drive back to our house which is only 15 minutes away thankfully. Jeno parks the car and we are faced with a dilemma. 
“Wait, are we gonna wake him up to go inside?”
“That’s what we should do.” Five minutes of agonizing over what to do, we decided to have me carry in the food and Jeno carry in Jaemin. 
“Why does it feel like I do all of the heavy work in this relationship.”
“Maybe don’t go to the gym everyday and have a body builder figure.”
“We all go to the gym together! Jaemin works out almost as much as me!”
I shush him. “Shut up, you’re gonna wake him up.” Jeno walks away and the sight of the two of them makes my heart swell. Jaemin, drooling on Jeno’s shoulder in sound sleep, and Jeno, who noticed and is most definitely annoyed by it but won’t say anything about it. Seeing the two of them makes me realize something. I won’t ever tell them this, but even though Jaemin has the sugar addiction, they’re the two sweetest things in my life.

If you're still taking ship meme asks? Habismal?
i was so hoping someone would send me thissss 🥺 yes
1. what made you ship it?
tbh when i finished smile for me i didn’t think too much of it? but then i saw all the cute fanart and i went through the game again anddddd yeah. writing 9-step guide kinda cemented it for me lol
2. favorite things about the ship?
h. god. talk about two people who just care about each other so much despite their past issues. the epilogue really cements this, tbh, the fact that they’ve been there for each other and helping each other with their traumas makes my heart warm. plus i love the idea of boris bringing kamal out of his shell + helping him be more confident and kamal helping boris cope when he has bad days
3. any unpopular opinions?
well. nobody on this website knows how to write kamal but yall didn’t hear it from me. anyways i am begging you guys to stop writing kamal as a free therapist for boris lmao, relationships are supposed to have mutual support and love and half the habismal content i see is just. Kamal Help Boris. where is the Boris Help Kamal content i crave

Now I'm just dying to know more about the demon summoning and if there are rankings among the angels like the demons. I hope this can be like a full blown story but if not, then that's ok too! How Many rankings are there and are there any stereotypes among certain demons and angels? I'm sorry that this is long and confusing but I am genuinely excited to know and read more!
Part 4.5
Previous | Next
Ohhh this is one of my favorite types of asks!! I love questions 💖
Alright, so Angels do technically have a ranking system—it’s usually based on the caliber, holiness, and mana-infusion that was used in their creation! Demons have a similar hierarchy in that way! They can also increase and decrease in rank—those with more mana will be higher, but if they do not form contracts or do not maintain their mana, they’ll become weaker over time!
This will be slightly more delved into with the next part, involving Tsukishima ;)
The thing about Angels, though, is that they’re less reliant on mana, and therefore can maintain theirs for a while, and sometimes even replenish their own. As such, they don’t have to worry about making as many contracts as demons do, if any. They’re also very busy
Now, what’s most fun about angels and demons is their abilities and the fact that they tend to hide their attributes. All angels have halos, fluffy wings, and these soft white, rounded tails. Some have little stubs of horns, which are rounded at the top. Demons tend to have sharp and angled horns, which are long and often dark—you can even tell some demon’s ranks based on the color, although that can also depend on their presence. Demon’s tails are pointed at the ends, and their wings are like those of a bat’s.
Usually when answering a summon, depending on the intent that’s radiating from the summoner during the introduction of DNA and mana to the summoning circle, the creature will use their best judgement in regard to their appearance. They have other forms that are available to them—some may transform into their original item if they pledge to be used as that object in the contract, whereas others may go into more supernatural forms.
For stereotypes, there’s the superiority complex for angels, as well as the inferiority complex of demons. Many demons see higher demons or angels of their counterpart-equivalent status and above to be superior (or that those demons consider themselves superior). Angels (or a good amount of them) see demons as impure and thereby lesser, as their rituals were performed in a manner that wasn’t apt enough to make them angels.
Then again, when imbued with enough mana, an object or animal can choose its path if there is no other will being imposed upon it. Some angels think about some demons as having made the wrong choice, where applicable.
More about ranks: During the wars, there would be tournaments held before the highest mages of the time, who’d offer mana and contracts to those creatures who showed the most potential or who presented the most ability overall. All beings took pride in being those contracted to those mages, especially when they were the sole contract and were fed high doses of mana. Of course, with too much power cane issues, as some demons felt that the reliance on raw ability in the tournaments would skew the results in favor of the angels, and so they schemed with one of the mages to usurp the champion of the time.
The ranks that angels gained during that time are upheld still, as they retained the mana they were given, and some demons clutch at their power with desperation, bearing their fangs at any lower-rank demons that threaten their positions.
Many demons even trick humans and secure very unjust contracts in order to climb up the ranks.
Hinata, thankfully, hasn’t had to worry about any fearsome beings yet, as many of them are attracted to the purity that radiates from his mana. Mana is most reliant on determination and will rather than strength or composition, although they can be supplementary to the summoner.
Higher rank beings often form clans to prevent an uprising from the lesser demons—some that exist include Aoba Johsai, Johzenji, Nekoma, Fukurodani, and Karasuno. There are more, of course, and Hinata will be exposed to them over time :’)
I’m not sure if it’ll be a story or if it’ll always be this messy—I’m currently working on chapter four of another harem fic (for KNB) so I can’t guarantee that I’d get past a first chapter, and it’d probably be more Drabble-y than a full, well written story (not that I write well lmao)—I’ll leave it up to full demand and it’d also be dependent on how consistent I can keep the plot here haha
I loved this ask! Answering it woke my Plot Brain, which is the only time my two brain cells manage to cooperate! If there are any questions I accidentally left unanswered, if things need more clarification, or if you want another addition to the main story, feel free to follow up on the ask or inquire in the comments! Thanks for the interaction yall! 💕💕
••Part 4.5 of (?)••
•• Send Asks for more! Feel free to ask about characters and send Headcanons! Or if u wanna just talk Haikyuu/ships, I’m good with that too! :)
••AND as an FYI, I’m down for just about any hinata pairing! The only characters that are out are: Saeko, the Neighborhood Association folks, coaches, Yachi and Shimizu—you can probably guess any others if I left em out. Nothing against em or those who ship em, they’re just not my cup of tea ;)••

𝙨𝙩𝙪𝙘𝙠 𝙞𝙣 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 ٭
𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐩 𝐨𝐢𝐤𝐚𝐰𝐚 𝐱 𝐟𝐞𝐦!𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫
Genre: kind of fluffy but its mostly angst
Warnings: toxic (abusive??) parents, arranged marriages, toxic relationships.
!Timeskip spoilers!
Playlists I listened to while writing this
Tumblr media
"Good job..you did great out there."  You said with a hand on his shoulder.
"Ah" he smiled "thank you for your support, without you and many others I would've never won so, thank you"
He said with genuine smile on his face. He got closer to the sofa, he sat down letting out a long sigh "oh" he said as if he remembered something.
"Hey! Do you have a minute?"
"Yeah i guess"
"Okay okay here, i got you something."
he said handing you a bag "u- um thank you?" You're confused yet curious looking inside the bag you see a little box, it looked like a jewellery box...but why would he buy you jewellery? all you did was praise him and help him go through the tiring days because of training for the Olympics, so why would he buy you something expensive?
"You look curious, why don't you open it and see it for yourself." He said looking at you with a soft look. You took the box out of the bag opening it, What a gift....
It looks so beautiful
It was a pretty looking necklace. Its gold and Choker like with pretty little stars that go all around it. You remember wanting a necklace like this..
How did he know you wanted something like this?
Is this a coincidence?
You dont even talk to him that much?
What is he on exactly?
You looked at him and looked at the box again "uh..I saw you last month and how you were looking at that same necklace, it looked like you wanted it so um i got it for you" he said smiling softly
"But why? Is this out of pity or something?" You said with a confused face "what! Of course not! do..do you not like it?" "No no! I like it but its just kinda random.. since I didn't really do anything to deserve a gift like this.." You said sighing.
Your story with tooru was long.
You never wanted to marry a man. In fact the thought alone of a man's touch made you nauseous beyond all belief. But he.....wasn't any different from any other man you've always wanted to avoid. But with parents like yours, the moment they found out about your thoughts they completely lashed out on you saying that all those feelings and thoughts are not expected in their household. And Forcing you to marry a man that you never saw or knew about before in your life. I mean he wasn't mean to you never laid a hand on you.
But still, It didn't feel right.
You felt captured, you felt stuck in a dead end. Like there was no where else to go. Being a housewife for almost 2 years now made you fall in many depressive episodes. And he knew that, he knew so so well about all the depressive episodes you were in, He knew it all. He tried to help you, but there was nothing for him to do since he himself doesn't know you or anything about you.
Which made it harder for the both of you to understand each others struggles. He never forced you to stay inside the house and do stuff for him like how your parents want you to. He let you free, let you do what you want. There is nothing else for him to do. In fact the both of you thought about getting a divorce, but you both knew that both your parents would not let that happen. Although yes you both had something somewhat in common, you both loved space.
You specifically loved stars. And you could guess that he caught up with your love for stars. You wore a lot clothing and jewellery that had something with stars or space. He thought it was cute, so when he saw you looking at this very pretty necklace he knew you wanted it.
"First its not out if pity and second i got it for you since i kinda knew you liked stuff like this.." 
"Thank you tooru I really appreciate it."
I mean who wouldn't appreciate a gift like this?you loved and valued this gift but something just doesn't feel right with tooru honestly.. But it was just a gut feeling so you decided to just ignored it.
Tumblr media
Again, tooru isn't the type that would keep you in his house and order you around. So you had many opportunities to get outside and have some fun you get me? Almost every weekend you'd get yourself all dolled up and go out with your friends For a little night out.
This not only made you happy and made you forget about all the shit you were going through, but it gives you a chance to do other fun things if you know what i mean. Hear me out, you knew it was wrong, so wrong actually. But it won't hurt anyone right? I mean tooru doesn't actually like you so, why not?
You did this with many people you meet at the club, specifically women. You loved it honestly. It made you feel more open and more happy about yourself. You didn't feel as captured as you used to, it was just great.
It was one of those nights again, you were laughing and chatting with one of your friends wearing (dress/suit wtv you prefer)
You felt so confident and happy. Moments later Your friend excused themselves to go to the bathroom, you nodded as they went to the bathroom. You were leaning on the bar and drinking your drink looking at the people on the dance floor drunkenly grinding and dancing together. You looked around to see this very pretty lady admiring you with a soft smile on her face, You smiled a bit while getting closer to her.
"Is there something on my face?" You asked with a cheeky smile
"No..i just thought you look pretty"
"Oh?"
"Very actually.." You giggled at that statement.
You and....aiko chatted for a pretty long time you kinda forgot about your friend. Aiko, aiko..what a pretty name, You were so interested in this girl honestly all you wanted to do is sit there and know all about her.
"What a pretty necklace you got there!" She said pointing at the necklace tooru gave to you.
"Oh! Yeah my.. brother gave it to me as a gift."
"Aww"
You both chatted for a while more and exchanged phone numbers
"Dont forget to text me!!" She said waving at you and blowing you a lil kiss.
You smiled and sighed, its probably time to go home.
You were looking for your friend to tell them that its time to leave, you took out your phone to call them and to know where they are until you saw you got some unread messages from them.
"Oooo ;)"
"Yall better make out after this."
"Okay I kinda ship bye"
"ANYWAYS..I'm going to leave this nasty azz club and leave ya too alone *wink wonk* "
"Love you AND DONT FORGET TO TEXT ME WHEN  YOUR HOME"
You smiled at the text messages. You really did appreciate having a friend like them..But, its time to head home now before it gets even more late. You paid for your drinks took your stuff on your way out.
Tumblr media
You finally got back home, tooru was sleeping on your shared bed so now you have be extra careful not to wake him up.
After you changed and got ready for bed. Already texted your Friend letting them know you went home safely.
"Are you free this Tuesday?"
You just got a message from someone with the name "your bbg 😻" you chuckled remembering Akio saved here contact name on your phone that.
"Yeah i am!"
"Great wanna hang out? There is this café I went to before THEY SELL THE BEST BAGELS EVER"
"Oh sure!"
"Okay i will send you the location to the café tmr kk?"
"Okay goodnight bbg 😻"
"LMAO GOODNIGHT 💖💝💗💓❤"

Well yalls sure are in tune today xD
Andromache for the character ask- @my-gaydar-is-on-point and anons, hope you'll see this here!
Sexuality Headcanon:
Definitely some sort of wlw, I'm not sure whether she's a middle-of-the-kinsey-scale kinda bi/pan or rather homoflexible... all in all just don't think she would only have been with women in her long life, plus maybe doesn't even have the same understanding of gender we have, which leads me to ->
Gender Headcanon:
I think, if she had been born in modern times in the western world, Andromache might identify as a butch woman and womanhood in general. As is, though... gender ideas changed so much over time, and I don't think she's the kind of person to Care enough to keep up with the terminology. She's herself, that's all she needs to know. Probably mostly using she/her kinds of pronouns, but I don't think she'd be opposed to other pronouns either, and probably has in the past.
A ship I have with said character:
Andromaquynhhhhh ♡ though, and we just had that talk over on @theoldguardfemslashdiscord xD, I do see them as having an open relationship at times, or Polyguard dynamics... my main OTP are still the Immortal Wives though :)
A BROTP I have with said character:
Gods ok so I can see all of the Guard as having the potential for romance and sexual relationships, so like uuuh, who do I take here then xD I think she's at the same time also good friends with all of them of course? Nile, Nico, Joe... Kinda wanna take Quynh again xD
Her friendship with Booker is also interesting to look at, but after his betrayal... let's just say I'm not over that, and neither would she be any time soon!
Going with Lykon instead, not bc I dont also see that as ot3 dynamics but judt cause I haven't mentioned him yet here, and I do love their dynamic either way!
Honorary mention: Celeste <3 best fanon character tbh, one tiny movie scene and we just adopted her lmfao
A NOTP I have with said character:
Again. Booker. While I'm not entirely against the fanon that they might have had sth sexual while Quynh was gone, I just Don't like him and I Don't want to think about her with him that way.
A random Headcanon:
Horse Girl Andyyyy
General Opinion over said character:
The bestest <3 she's so badass yet so soft after all this time, poor baby has a whole load of Activist Burnout and depression, needs a break and a hug from her wife <3 also definitely her immortality back pretty pls
Thanks so much for the asks!!! @my-gaydar-is-on-point I'll probably do the Philippa one tomorrow or so, still sitting on my thesis even tho it's past midnight & only taking a short break rn... should I do it for Pippa Prime or Mirrorgiou then?
@ everyone feel free to reblog & also send me more asks :D
Send me a character | Fanfic ask | Soft ask

Day Five: Put in a Tank
Oof, this one struggled a little bit, but I managed to get it out! I’m happy with how it turned out, too! Hope yall enjoy <3
Masterlist
Tag list: @spiffythespook @lonesome--hunter (if you want to be added just message me!)
CW: Stuck in a tank, near drowning/struggling to get air, rope burns, begging/crying, salt(water) in wounds, trapped in the dark, freezing, conditioning, vague dehumanization, slight emetophobia warning, sickness mention, and maybe some other things I forgot! feel free to send me a message to tag something else!
Word count: 1,563
He shivered in the cold, unrelenting northern waters. Darkness poured everywhere, blinding his view from within the small box that he had been placed in. It was so cold, so dark, he couldn’t figure out whether or not he was even upright beyond the ability to breathe-
Nereus hissed as he brushed an arm against his rope burns. Every coiling mark against his skin ached as the saltwater seeped in, dirty and disgusting from the fish that lived in it. His throat ached as its overuse made itself known, not even letting him keen from the pain and instead forcing him to bang his head against the side of the tank.
He doesn’t remember how long he’s been here, but it felt like an eternity already.
After the crewmen had left him alone, stuck in the net trap Eilif had set, he had cried and screamed his voice raw, hoping that someone would have enough compassion for him to let him go. After that he struggled, nearly choking himself in the process, before being forced to lie still until the evening.
At some point the door to the Cabin had opened, and Eilif had walked in. He was a large and burly man with a crazy look in his gray eyes. Nereus had heard tales of when some of the crew had angered him, and they were tossed overboard and never seen again. In that moment, staring into his eyes, he knew that all of the rumors spread about Eilif were true.
In typical, wordless fashion, Eilif untied Nereus from the ropes that bound him. He tried to thank him, but before he could Eilif got a fistful of his shirt collar and looked at him with a hard, furious gaze that made all the words in his throat die.
He was dragged above deck, into the prying eyes of the crew members who exchanged money behind Eilif’s back. They laughed and mocked Nereus as he was dragged to the nets and boats that they used to go fishing with, as Eilif opened up the lid to the tank where they kept live fish to eat later.
Nereus had apologized over and over, even knowing that it fell on deaf ears. All he got in return was Eilif’s fury, and a promise.
You’ll be sorry when I’m done with you.
Then he was thrown into the tank and the lid was closed.
Nereus had made himself as comfortable as he could. He pressed up against one of the slimy corners and waited, taking breaths in tune with the gentle rocking of the ship. Sometimes the water would sway his way and cover his face, but after it had happened a couple times, he figured out how to hold his breath though it. Thankfully he was tall enough to just barely be able to stand in the tank, able to breathe if he angled his head just right. 
Then the cold set in. Then the burning from his raw skin began. Then something brushed up against Nereus’ leg and he let out a startled yelp followed by a whimper, unable to remember if they had caught small fry or hungry carnivorous fish that morning. 
You’ll be sorry. The thought repeated over and over in his head, the only thing he could really cling to in the presence of nothing.
“I am,” he croaked, his voice sounding like he was stepping on gravel. “I am sorry, please, please let me out! I’ll be good, I swear it! Please…”
The ship rocked back towards him again, and he got a mouthful of water. Nereus coughed and sputtered it back out, retching at the disgusting fish and salty taste of it. He tried to press himself further against the wall in an attempt to raise his head above the water, but his fingers slipped, ruining all his effort.
He gasped for air when the ship finally rocked the other way, panic rising out of his throat before he could calm himself.
“Help me, please! Someone! Anyone! I’m sorry, I’ve learned my lesson!” he cried, ending it with a coughing fit from the water he’d accidentally breathed in. 
Like always, no one came to his rescue. Instead he was left alone in the cold dark, forced to gasp for air just to survive. A part of him felt exhausted, but Nereus knew very well that if he were to fall asleep he’d be as good as dead.
After what felt like several eternities wrapped into one, when Nereus was beginning to wonder if anyone would find him here while he was still alive, the lid finally opened back up. 
“Hey. Still alive down there?” Eilif’s voice echoed into the tank. Nereus made a small sob in response, relief and fear flooding through him at the same time. Was he going to shove him under the water, finish the job he started? “See? Still kickin’ around. I was going to come back for him later.”
“Like hell you were. Fish ‘em out,” another voice commanded, higher pitched and pissed, but one that Nereus recognized. The Captain. 
He struggled to get his sluggish limbs to move to where the lid was, looking up like some washed up fish struggling to breathe. The Captain was staring down at him with a hardened gaze that softened when their eyes met. It was replaced by fury when Eilif sighed.
“I ought to throw you in there with him,” the Captain hissed. “What were you thinking, huh? You going to leave em in there all night with the fish, hoping he didn’t drown on you?”
Eilif didn’t say anything and instead reached a hand down to Nereus. He reached upwards like it was God himself, clinging onto the thick arm with desperation. He was so light that even sopping wet it hardly took any effort from Eilif to lift him up out of the tank. 
Nereus collapsed to the deck, shivering and wet and sobbing. His fingernails dug into the wood of the ship, not even really feeling the sting in his nails over the euphoria of being freed. After all this time he could finally move and see, even if he didn’t have the strength to do it.
“Boy’s a lot stronger than you think, Captain. He woulda lasted the night,” Eilif said simply. 
“Well, I hope you’re satisfied.” The Captain took a foot and rolled Nereus over, watching how he moved limply. “My trophy ain’t gonna be swabbing the deck anytime soon like this, thanks to you. Guess we’ll have to find someone else, huh? Don’t suppose you would want the job?”
“Captain, he was snooping around where he shouldn’t! You’re lucky I didn’t leave the sharks to deal with ‘em.” Eilif shot a mean glare over to Nereus, and he pulled away with a pitiful whimper.
“You talking back, Eilif?” The Captain gave him a venomous look. “You could’ve just beat the thing. He learns well enough from that. Doesn’t take potentially spoiling the whole crew’s food supply to teach Roo here a lesson.”
“Well, it’s like you always said. Humans got thick heads on their shoulders. Wanted to make sure this lesson stuck.”
Warm hands found their way to Nereus’ shoulders as the Captain bent down. He grabbed his chin to force his barely-conscious gaze over to him, light blue eyes scanning him. Nereus raised a hand up to hold his hand close, even knowing he likely shouldn’t touch the Captain without his express permission. He was just so warm…
He could have sworn he saw the Captain swallow.
“Have you learned your lesson, Roo?” he asked. Nereus nodded instantly. He had. He learned. He could be good now. He’d never go snooping again, even if he hadn’t meant to. “Good. As for you.” The Captain turned his gaze over to Eilif. “He’s not the only one with a thick head around here. You’re taking swab duty until he’s fit to work again. Do I make myself clear?”
Eilif watched the two for a moment, an indiscernible expression on his face. He was always too hard to read.
“You better watch yourself Captain. The crewmen might think you’re going soft on the boy,” he muttered.
“Do I make myself clear, Eilif?”
Eilif swallowed, glancing to the side. “Crystal.”
“Good. Now go the fuck to bed while I deal with your mess. We don’t need sickness running rampant on the ship because of this.” The Captain drew Nereus into a sitting position, and didn’t bother pulling him off when he clung to him.
Nereus heard the sound of footsteps disappearing off to somewhere. He curled closer to the Captain, readily taking advantage of the rare closeness to draw as much heat as he could, sobbing hopelessly into his coat.
“...Alright, get off. You’re coming with me back to my quarters.” he muttered angrily, unhooking Nereus’ hands from himself.
He looked up, eyes going wide out of fear of the unknown. There was no telling what the Captain might do to him for being so awful, what might go on behind the closed doors of his cabin room. Nereus wasn’t about to find out himself, either. “Captain, Captain no, I’ll, I’ll go down with the crew. I can be good, I’ve learned my lesson - nono, please!”
His cries went unanswered as the Captain picked him up and put him over his shoulder.

Rules, Memories, and Other Uncomfortable Things.
Hiiii okay here we are!! Chapter One of my first fic! I'm really excited to show this to yall, I hope it came out okay. Just a note, the title of this might change and when it does I'll let you know before I change it. A big thank you to @whispersweetliestome for reading through it for me!! 😘
Word Count: about 2170.
Chpt 1/?
Rating: T *As a general warning. Might up the rating as we go. We'll see chapter by chapter :)
Warnings: Angsty. Does Mando count as a warning?
Chapter One
The sun was high in the sky by the time I finished weeding the garden. Standing up, I dust my hands off and then absentmindedly lean on the post of the fence behind me. I stare off into the distance, caught in my endless parade of thoughts again.  Life has been surprisingly good since I settled down. Boring, but good. I mean, what else did I expect when I decided to become a farmer? Sure there were some days when I miss my old life. It was a hard, dangerous, and sometimes nasty life, but it was my life and I was damn good at it.  
Something shiny catches my attention and I’m flooded with memories once the glistening figure comes into focus. All at once, my breath catches in my chest and I become acutely aware of how all of my nerve endings now feel like they’ve been zapped with a bolt of lightning. Why now, of all times, does he choose to come back? Things had just started to fall into place and feel somewhat normal. I try to focus on steadying my breathing, but it’s too late and I start to get lightheaded. I reach out a hand to catch my balance. Instead of finding the fence post, a warm leather-clad hand grabs onto my bare one and holds it tight. “It’s been so long”, a disembodied modulated voice rumbles. ‘Not long enough’ almost makes its way past my trembling lips. I continue to stare down at the boots across from mine own, afraid to look at the owner of the deep voice. 
** You reach out and grab onto the hand offered to you. “It’s been so long, I can tell.” No need to see his face, you could hear the smirk in his voice. “Yeah, yeah, yeah. No need to rub it in…” you trail off as you brush the dust off your pants. “Again!” you call, falling into place. You crouch in a staggered stance stance so that your right leg is behind you. After raising your fists in a defensive position just high enough to see above them, you wait for your partner to do the same. He chuckled and copied your stance. Left foot moves over right, then right foot steps back out. Repeat. It’s a careful dance the two of you share as you size up your opponent once again. Lunging forward on your left foot, you sweep your right leg out to try to throw the Mandalorian off his feet. Taking the bait, he jumps it cleanly and you seize the opportunity to quickly shift your body to tackle him as soon as his feet touch the ground. You land with your right forearm against his chest plate and knees on either side of his hips, effectively pinning him to the ground. Before you could say something witty, you feel the barrel of his blaster press into your soft (vulnerable) side. “Not bad, I guess” he chuckles. You cock your head to the side and tap the top of where his beskar chest stops with the small hidden knife in your right hand. “You guess?” **
A gentle cough pulls me out of my thoughts. Giving in, I slowly look up to the helmet that taunts my dreams late at night. A million questions run through my mind as I drink in the sight of him. Sure I was still mad at him, but that never stops the longing in my soul from calling out to him. I guess he finally answered. “What do you want?” I asked him after I found my voice. 
He takes a step closer to me and replies deeply, “Is that any way to greet an old friend?” I hang my head to try to hide the flush that is crawling quickly across my cheeks; knowing full well that respect should be shown at all times, no matter how badly things may end. His hand squeezes mine comfortingly while his free hand reaches up to stroke my cheek. I jerk back slightly before he makes contact. He sighs and his hands fall to his sides. Stepping around him and out of the fenced off area, I start walking back to my wooden abode. “Well, come on then. I’d at least like to clean my hands before you explain what life or death situation brought you to my doorstep.” I throw over my shoulder.  
Wiping my hands dry on a rag, I turn to where he’s leaning against my counter. “So, what brings you here?” He pauses, seemingly to gather the right words. “I need your eyes.” My eyes narrow and quickly dart over the chest that lays covered in dust, lingering in the shadows of the corner. “What makes you think I’d help?” I all but snarled at him. His head cocked and I mentally kicked myself for being a brat again. I rubbed my temples and started again. “Look around Mando. What makes you think that I would give all this up?” He pushed himself off the counter and stalked toward me. He set a small puck next to me then leaned in and said, “Because this isn’t who you are, and you know it.” I look down and finger the beat-up device before picking it up.
** “I had it covered you know” You claimed. “Oh so that’s what you call that little move? I’m not sure how almost falling off a cliff constitutes as ‘having it covered’“ he grunted. You drop the arm you were pulling to cross your arms and glare at the Mandalorian across from you, not that he could see the look on your face given the helmet shielding your faces. You wait until he turns to you and sighs, dropping the arm he has been dragging, to start talking. “Look.. You’re right. I lost my focus which caused me to lose my footing. If it hadn't been for you, this criminal here” You kicked him for added effect “would have gotten away. “I’m sorry.” He just nods in response, then bends over to pick up his designated arm. “Come on, we need to get him in the cryo freeze chamber before he wakes up.” You squat to pick up your arm, and then continued back to the ship. 
Once back on the Razorcrest, the two of you wrestle with the now conscious thief, trying to get him into the chamber. “Come on, stop fighting it,” you grit your teeth. “Look, I can bring you in warm, or I can bring you in cold.” You laugh to yourself at your own witty one liner, and you think you can make out a faint chuckle from the armor-covered bounty hunter to your right. The criminal seizes the opportunity to slip loose and shoulder-charge you. You recover quickly and throat punch him, then you use all your strength to shove the burly creature into place so the Mandalorian can hit the button that initiates cryo freeze. 
Rolling your shoulders and stretching your arms above your head, you glance around trying to find the little device you had placed on a ledge near the chamber before going out on the hunt this morning. Once it was located and in your hands, you turn to face the 6’8” tall man. “Are you ready?” you asked. He turned to see what you were talking about and immediately put his hand up in a “surrender” gesture. “Woah, hold on. That’s not happening.” He protested. You practically skip over to where he and the frozen form are still situated. “Come on, you said you would! Besides. It’s just one picture and it’ll be our little secret, I promise!” You wiggle in place just a tiny bit as a sort of silent plea. He signs heavily and shakes his head. “Be quick about it.” He finally replies after what felt like an eternity. You hold up the disk out in front of the two of you, posed in front your first bounty. “Say carbonite!” you laughed. Right before you took the snapshot, you quickly stuck your finger close to the frozen figure, in the direction of his snout.**
I chuckle quietly to myself, recalling the messy day that holoframe was taken. It was my first bounty by myself, some mid-level smuggler that crossed the wrong people. You know, career jump-start type thing. While I was trying to take him down, I saw something move in the corner of my eye and I got distracted just long enough for the surprisingly agile creature to kick me in the chest and send me flying backward. Thankfully, the distracting something turned out to be none other than my teacher, whom I had thought stayed back on the ship. After that save, I learned to not only stay focused, but also always have one eye on one’s surroundings at all times. Well, learned is a strong word considering what was yet still to come between us. 
I go to stick my finger in the holographic creature’s nose for old times sake but the Mandalorian’s hand reached out and turned the puck off. “See? You haven’t changed one bit.” He spoke with a hint of wistfulness that comes from years of close contact. “Listen... You know I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t important.” I squeezed my eyes shut, and take a deep breath. This man needs to stop talking, like right now, because his voice had this dangerous habit of dragging me into unsavory situations. I take another, deeper breath and exhale completely before trying to hand him back the puck. “I’m not sure how much help I can be, seeing as, you know…” I trail off and gesture shallowly to my back with my free hand. An awkward silence blanketed the already quiet house. His large hand wraps around mine to close my hand around the small puck then leaned in close enough that I feared that he would hear the erratic beating of my pounding heart. “Whatever you decide, this belongs to you.” he rumbled lowly in my ear. After a moment, he spins on his heel and heads to the door. I glance down at the device in my hands, the one I thought was lost to me forever. As of their own accord, my feet walk me over to the chest that sits in that lonely corner. My treacherous hands take the key hidden under the worn, work-stained shirt I’m wearing and unlock the heavy contraption that keeps the old secrets and memories locked away. Fingers stretch outward to run along the smooth, thick material of my deep purple cloak, gently though, like touching it any harder would release all of the history that was so carefully and deliberately hidden away. 
Choice decided, I scramble to my feet and run after the Mandalorian stalking away from my house, toward the setting suns. His head turns so that it looks as if he’s glancing over his shoulder when he hears my pounding footsteps sprinting up to him. He slows to a stop so you can catch up to his long, strong strides. “Alright,” I agree. I can see his shoulders perk up a bit as it registers what I’m agreeing to. Nodding in reply, he tells me that he has a couple of things to take care of before leaving tomorrow at dawn. “You know the deal, pack only the necessities. I’ll be back tomorrow at sunrise to pick you up.” I grunt a quick yes sir to the order given to me, falling back into old habits a hell of a lot quicker than I want. Turning back toward the meager house I had built myself, I made a list of all of the items I would need, and which supplies I could grab for the trip that wouldn’t spoil. Opening up the chest once more, I wrap the cloak around the contents of the wooden crate and stuff it into the combat bag I have hanging off my shoulder, then I start packing the rest of my essential items. 
The next morning, I sit outside in the cool damp grass meditating on the rules I created for myself late last night instead of sleeping. Hearing the screams  of the Razorcrest’s engines, I stand and dust myself off. I steal one last glimpse behind me before I mutter a soft good-bye for the me I could have been. Facing forward again, I whisper a careful prayer. One about hope. About surviving the coming storm I know is bound to happen. You don’t just mash together you guys’ personalities and expect things not to get heated. I square my shoulders and walk confidently up the ramp to where my old friend stands waiting for me, a sight that holds such bittersweet emotions with it. It’s like a punch in the gut though, and I have to remind myself to keep things professional. Remember the rules, I thought to myself. Stay composed. This can not end like it did last time.

spoilers for BL3
i made some fixes for what i thought were weak points in-game. they personally made sense to me, feel free to tell me what yall think??
Maya, Ava and Krieg.
You meet maya on Athenas, and at some point along the way, she sidetracks a bit. 
“I have to go find my… friend. Yeah, lets call him that. He should be near the cemetery.”
You get to the cemetery where you’re greeted by the mountain of a psycho known as Krieg. He’s screaming about poop trains or ribcages or something along those lines.
“This is Krieg, he and I were crimson raiders a few years back.” “RIDING DEATH BOMBS TOGETHER!” “Speaking of which, Krieg, where’s Ava? You were supposed to keep an eye on her. In the library.” “RRRRGHGHH CONSTRAINTS OF A SKULL SPLITTER!” “I warned you Krieg. If she gets hurt it’s your fault. Come on vault hunter, this way.”
You continue through the rest of the mission as normal, but now there’s an extra occupant in maya and ava’s room. 
Upon killing the rampager, Ava shows up again, with Krieg trailing behind. Krieg could be less than interested and is just tossing rocks around.
You exit the vault and catch Maya scolding Krieg for not keeping Ava on the ship like she asked. Tyreen and Troy show up, and assume Krieg is just another psycho. “Hey there follower! You did good, capturing the Vault Thief and an extra siren! Should make you Eridium tier for that. You’ll be rewarded when we open the great vault.” Kreig cocks his head to one side in confusion, but for once is silent. 
Tyreen gets Ava by the throat and Maya has Troy in a chokehold, and Krieg is clearly confused on what to do as he looks back and forth between the two rapidly. Troy reaches up and grabs maya, and Krieg goes into a bloodlust, screaming and charging at Troy full speed. “Troy!” Tyreen shouts, dropping ava to rush to her brothers aid. When Krieg tackles Troy, maya drops, tattoos gone, and makes her way over to Ava. Troy and Tyreen get a grip on Krieg, with Troys robot arm wrapped around Kriegs neck. “Rule number one, follower: never betray the family.” Tyreen sneers through gritted teeth as she begins to drain krieg. “Krieg!” Maya screams, and she tries to run toward them, when Tyreen uses an energy pulse to send them flying back further. 
“Maya…. I.. love… you…” Krieg says as his eyes glaze over, and he turns into a husk, which quickly falls into a pile of dust. “No! Krieg!” Maya cries, tears streaming down her face. “Well, that takes care of that. Oh, eugh, ew, i think I got some psycho dust in my mouth, eugh, ew!” tyreen says, gagging. “Atlas! Ty, we gotta go!” Troy says, grabbing his sisters arm. They phase away as a squad of Atlas troops storm the vault, seeing nothing more than the three.
“Krieg…” Maya says sadly. 
“There’s nothing we could do, Maya. Lets get back to Santcuary.” Moze says.
“I know he meant a lot to you Maya, but we have to get out of here.” Amara says.
“He was a good hunter, but his time has come. We will mourn on Sanctuary.” Fl4k says.
“It’s sad lass, but there’s nothing we can do for him now. Let’s get you back to the ship.” Zane says.
>Upon rejoining Lilith on the bridge.
“Oh no, Maya, Tyreen got you too?” “Not Tyreen, it was that Troy douchebag.” Ava says. Maya can’t bring herself to speak. “Krieg… They killed him.” Ava says, staring down at her shoes. 
“Damn. I’m sorry Maya. I knew how close you two were. He was a psycho, but a good one at that. I can tell you for sure that he’s riding the shiniest of meat bicycles up in the stars, eh?” Lilith says, trying to comfort maya.
>After the mission is complete, maya has a side mission available.
“Krieg was one of the best of us, vault hunter, and I want to honor him as best I can. Can you head down to Pandora and see if he left any echo logs?”
Here you can find a few logs mentioning how he feels about maya semi-sanely. Maya seems to be oblivious to the clues that Krieg liked her, until you get to the end of the cave where there’s an echo next to a small box. 
“Maya. You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. 
Your the tink to my turret, the bullet in my mag, the sister to.. My brother? Agh no that..that came out wrong. What I’m trying to say is… will you ride this meat bicycle with me, and be my wife?” The box opens, revealing a poorly made ring made of scrap steel. “Well, what did you find?” Maya asks. 
“Ill show you up on the ship.” the vault hunter responds. Upon returning to sanctuary, you meet up with maya in her quarters. “What is it you needed to show me vault hunter?” The vault hunter places the ring box on the table and the echo plays for maya, and the box opens on cue. 
“Oh Krieg, you crazy, beautiful bastard you.” Maya says, on the brink of tears. “Thank you for doing this, vault hunter. It means… it means a lot to me.” She pays you and you get a legendary grenade mod called Kriegs buzz axe, that turns your grenades into a buzz axe that gets hurled at enemies. It has red text that says “IM THE CONDUCTOR OF THE POOP TRAIN!”
The next time you see Maya on Sanctuary, she’s wearing the ring Krieg made on a chain around her neck.
Gaige the Siren
“Hey killer. I’ve gotten word that another former raider is in trouble. I need you to go down and check on her, will ya?”
>Player goes down to pandora and meets Gaige and Deathtrap, who are in the middle of an assault. Pain and Terror get ahold of her during the assault, and she’s to be sacrificed to the twins as an offering. During the last third of the fight against the Agonizer 9000, she ~somehow~ (Hint: siren powers) manages to free herself and summon Deathtrap, and helps you finish off the fight. 
“Thanks for helping me out there, VH. Man, I must be getting rusty on my badassery. I’ll meet you up on Sanctuary, hey?”
>Continue through the game as normal, along with some additional bits with Gaige catching up with Zero and Maya, and mourning the loss of Krieg. 
“Hey, you didn’t think I’d let you fight those assholes alone, didja?” Gaige says she’s coming down to help you fight Troy. “Gaige, you cant-” “Lilith, Imma be real with ya for a sec, and uh, no. Im going, and you can’t fuckin stop me. Kay? Kay.” “If you’re going, I’m coming down too. That douchebag killed Krieg, and I can’t… I can’t risk losing you too.” Maya says, and she clearly isn’t backing down. “I’m the leader of the raiders, and I’m not letting you two kill yourselves down there.” Lilith says, frustrated. 
You go down to the cathedral of the twin gods, and Maya and Lilith say theyll meet you there. Gaige helps you fight through the bandit hoards.
“You’re too late vault thief! Tyreen and I are opening the great vault, you cant stop us now!” Gaige taps on Troys shoulder, and he turns around. “Guess again, jackass.” Gaige slugs him in the face with her metal arm, and there it is revealed that she has blue tattoo’s travelling up her arm and shoulder on the left side, same as her metal arm. As she punches him, her white siren wings appear behind her, and a title card pops up introducing her as “Gaige: the Siren: (whaaaaaat?)”
Gaige helps you out throughout the fight, occasionally summoning deathtrap and using phase shift (“Excuting Phaseshift, BITCHES!”)  to allow small turrets to pop up along with ammo boxes.
At the end of the fight, Lilith and Maya appear, and as Troy dies, Maya regains her powers back. 
“Gaige, when were you gonna tell us about this?” Lilith demands. “Well ya see, when… Y’know with the whole laying-low thing, I… okay look I know this seems bad, but I couldn’t figure out a good time. I didn’t even know what was happening, and it didn’t happen right away! A few years later, when I was off planet and trying to figure out my next move one day and bam! There they were.” “But the question is, how?” “Angel and I… talked. We liked to talk. Its not like anything personal, but it was nice. She was my first friend, and… I-I didn’t want anything to happen to that.” “So angel chose you?” Maya asks. “No, I-I don’t think so anyways.” “Maya what are you talking about?” Lilith asks. “Before a siren passes, it’s said that she must choose an apprentice, someone to pass her powers onto, and if she doesnt, her powers will just play the genetic lottery. The bond you two had must’ve meant something to Angel too, and she chose you to carry her powers.” Gaige looks at the tattoo’s on her arm and shoulder with newfound meaning. 
Gaige is significantly more impacted by the Childhoods End quest, for obvious reasons.
Gaige continues to play the role that Tannis did.
Liliths death.
(to clarify, i really think it’s time for lilith to give up her role. she’s been the main focus in 2/3 games now, and i personally think that its time for her to step down and go out in a truly badass way.)
“It feels nice to have these powers back. Like greeting an old friend.” Lilith says. “Hey uh guys? I don’t think we’re in the clear yet! Elpis is still tearing pandora apart!” Gaige yells. 
“Run towards the fire.” Lilith looks over at Ava and Maya. “Be ready Ava.”
“Lilith, what are you doing?” “Lilith, no!” Maya and Gaige plead with lilith, but she ignores them and takes off soaring towards Elpis.
“What the hell is she doing?!” Maya yells.
“She’s closing the great vault.” Ava responds.
“Is she insane? That’ll kill her!” Gaige cries.
“That’s the idea.” Ava looks up at lilith as she reaches elpis. 
Lilith phases Elpis away, leaving behind her insignia.
“She’s dead… She’s really dead.” Maya says sadly. “Not quite. She’s still lighting the way.” Ava says.
Ava suddenly doubles over and begins to float. “Ava? Ava what the hell is going on?!” Gaige shouts. A sudden burst of energy comes from Ava, revealing the bright orange wings of the Firehawk, paired with the tattoo’s now running down Ava’s arm.
“Those tattoo’s suit you, Ava.” Maya says, resting a hand on Ava’s shoulder. “She chose right, I can say that much.” Gaige says with a gentle smile. “C’mon Guys, let’s get back to the ship.” Gaige says, making her way out of the vault. Maya follows, and as Ava goes to leave, she turns back around, looking up at the Blazing Phoenix above her head. “Thanks, Lilith.” Ava says softly. “Ava, cmon!” Maya shouts. “Coming!” Ava quickly runs back to catch up to the others.
