Okay DONT JUGDE ME PLEASE but I have an idea for mike schmidt. Okay so basically she(y/n) gets these new meds for the two of them it was basically like had idk what it's called but sm that makes them horny af and yk what happens next and also they r just friends when this happens. U can fill in the details with whatever.
a/n: Ahh no trust me i’m not one to judge people ever about what they’re into and stuff like that, obviously it’s different when i’m asked to write about smtg i’m uncomfortable with or if it’s illegal, but nonetheless here it is, i apologise in advanced as i did rush to get it posted but ye enjoy!! 😭
warning: most of my replies to requests i get don’t include warnings but please keep in mind before reading that this will contain ⚠️drugs, taking of drugs, irresponsible drug use!!⚠️ other than that it’s just the usual smut stuff :)
“come on you’re not gonna pussy out on me now are you?” you jab at Mike knowing he was the one boasting about the drug being a placebo that wouldn’t work.
“of course i won’t since i know it doesn’t even work. whoever sold it to you just got a free 30 dollars.” he looks down at you kneeling in front of the living room table slicing the pill in two. You were told by the seller that it was a hormone enhancing pill that was basically just stronger weed, so you were being cautious about how much you both took.
“ok fine hurry up give it here” sitting down next to you, Mike grabs one half swallowing it down in one go, you do the same. After 15 minutes neither of you feel anything.
“see i told you, it’s a fucking scam”
“no no we must’ve not taken it right, come on one more chance pleaseeee” you whine looking at him with your hands clasped together.
“fine. only cause your my best friend” “mike..i’m your only friend but ok”
Taking out two more pills you grab a cup using the base to crush them into a fine powder, with your credit card you finely crush it and seperate the pile of white powder into two even lines. Meanwhile Mike neatly rolls up a dollar bill leaning forward to snort up one line, handing the note over, you sniff up the powder feeling a sharp sting in your nose leaning back against the couch to relax and let everything settle.
First there was nothing and suddenly so much was happening all at once. In two minutes you and Mike had gone from sitting beside each other dazed as ever to feeling heat all over your body. The sensation causing you both to remove layers of clothing to avoid any effects of what felt like heatstroke. “god what the fuck is happening y/n?” you hear Mike say as he removes his clothing leaving him in a pair of black boxers, “idk mikey everything’s so hot and suffocating” you respond back stripping down to just your bra and denim shorts.
You feel the heat rising especially at your core, the denim shorts getting increasingly more uncomfortable once you’ve soaked through your underwear. Raising your head you notice Mike sitting with a pillow on his lap, “Mike…is that what i think it is?” Before he can reply you’ve already removed the pillow, the sudden movement of his body attempting to hide his raging hard on shocks you as you fall on top of him. His arms support you pulling you on top of his lap as you straddle his thighs. Not even caring at this moment, you grind your pussy against his thigh the rough denim rubbing against your clit as more liquid gushes from your pussy. A dark spot forms on your shorts as Mikes hands grab your hips to push you down harder. He abruptly stops,unbuttoning your shorts and pulling them down, he flips you over on the couch so your legs hang off the edge while your back lays on the seats. Kneeling down between your legs he spreads your thighs apart, fingers digging into the soft squishy flesh.
“fucking soaked aren’t you”
“please do something please”
“say it i wanna hear you”
“please touch my pussy”
His nose brushes across your clit through the thin material of your thong as his fingers rub you you’re getting increasingly wet. He quickly rips at the flimsy strings leaving you bare to him, your folds glisten with your wetness as you feel it dripping down. His fingers enter your mouth as you suck on them like you would a lollipop, tracing down past your hardened nipples and to your clit. The first few seconds after contact has you writhing around on the couch, things only getting more intense once you feel Mikes mouth on you. His tongue explores every crevice, caressing your delicate folds and spreading your juices all over. He spits on your clit watching it drip down before collecting it with his index and middle fingers, entering your tight hole and watching it stretch. you moan at the intrusion finally being filled by something, his two fingers feeling like three of your own. You’re so close to coming, his fingertips rubs harder and harder against the soft sensitive spot inside of you, until he removes them. your eyes shoot open widening even more once Mike flips you over onto your front holding both your hands above your head, you’re barely able to turn your head due to the position of your shoulders. The tip of his cock is pulsing and red as it rubs between your folds, poking at your sensitive clit.
The gentle movements lulling you into a further daze, however that’s quick to end once his dick starts easing into your pussy. It’s a tight fit and you weren’t sure about how much would fit but Mike just said “gonna stretch you til’ we fucking make it fit”, his words have you moaning into the couch, spit dribbling from the side of your mouth the more that he enters. His cock is about three quarters in and you’re sure you can’t take any more, that is until he starts pulling out and pushing back in.
Finally he’s all the way in and you’re pulsing around him, your channel trying to fit around the girth of him.
“ok i think it’s fine, you can move”
his thrust start picking up speed, the sound of his hips smacking against your ass bounce off the walls of the room, his heavy balls slap against your clit adding to the pleasure.
“fuck mikey harder please, i’m so close omg”
He picks up the pace going faster and deeper into you, his cock pushes hard against your g-spot spurring you closer to the edge.
“baby i’m gonna cum, fill you up nice and full, fuck you everyday you want that?”
“yesyes please i need you, cum for me baby”
He continues ploughing into you, hips stuttering as he tilts his head back releasing a low guttural groan, you can feel drops of liquid releasing every time he pulls outwards. Finally a stream of Mikes cum pools inside of you, his groans grow softer the more that spurts out, your pussy clamps down on him and more of your come is leaking down his length the droplets staining the couch. Mike rolls over off of you to lay on the couch beside your panting body. The two of you are covered in a sheen of sweat, out of breathe and still coming down from the effects of the drugs you both took. After a few minutes you’re both still in your underwear, Mikes head resting on your lap while you stroke his hair, the two of you thinking about having a discussion on what this would change about your friendship but with the state of high you were both in that topic was for another time.
“well now that we’ve proven it works what do we do now?” Mike asks looking back up at you.
Reaching over to grab something off the table you simply smirk and wave a small clear packet containing two pills, identical to the ones just taken around and hour and a half ago.

i have even more ideas now...
what about like the moment you open up about your relationship with kazuxiao the fans who were already seeing that happen were celebrating and on both of y'alls insta or something is where you announce and it's like a picture of all 3 of you chilling together or something
and then when they finally appear on a variety show they're just questioned throughly and they talk about how you guys meet and what they like about you
ok but the moments where you just feel sort of insecure since being an idol is hard and you're technically dating your seniors and you're just hit by the antis who are against yourself relationship so you lock yourself in your room in your dorm by yourself to cope. your roommate (can be whoever) contacts them both and they immediately come over and come in and offer soft kisses and soft murmurs of reassurance that they'll never leave you and that everything's gonna be ok.
side note i can see xiao just being a whole meme without realizing?? for like variety shows he's just known for his dead pan expression and then i can see him being so competitive on shows like running man..mans ripping tags left and right, while kazuhas just hiding in a weird spot or something
kazuha on the other hand i can see him being a troll, he likes to mess around with the hosts of the show and manages to mess up some of their plans, he also likes messing with his group members, where xiao likes to say that kazuha looks innocent but is a part of the devil line with venti
onto albedo i can see him like answering questions in his vlive and fans realize that a lot of his songs are more romantic and sort of pining?? and they're asking where the motivation is from. he answers that it's just something that he saw recently so he felt motivated (it wasn't the fact that he had realized that he was 100% in love with you)
but like all of this mans inspiration comes from you, he's had multiple songs dedicated to you before your relationship was even open to the public, and when your relationship finally does, it just clicks for fans and it suddenly makes sense, your ship name trends worldwide for the day
but how you and albedo met, i can see both of you guys being in the industry already and you guys are sort of know each other but it was for a one time off collab with other artists involved so you didn't really talk with each other. like i said before albedos a solo artist while i can see you being a part of a popular group already. but then both of your companies decided to do another collab and especially picked you two since you guys already worked on a collab before.
at first it was like awkward since albedos really socially awkward but then things click when you guys start writing the song together. everything just matches so well?? and you guys just compliment each other?? and that's when you learn of albedo just staying at the studio so late so you often bring food. this leads to you guys getting closer and albedo even stops his work just to talk to you more. when your song comes out and everyone is waiting for the stage, there's just so much tension?? but the good kinda and everyone is awed by the song and the vocals coming from you and albedo.
i can also see the both of you guys appearing on variety shows together too, like appearing on a show where you two travel to another place and experience the culture there, with albedo being your tour guide and showing you all the famous places (one of the many times where fans were awed by his research and knowledge) and then if you guys were to appear together again after you guys reveal your relationship, a lot of the times they show idols as they wake up, they'll see you and albedo being clingy af to each other.
on another side note, albedos totally a troll on variety shows, he likes messing around with the hosts and other contestants since a lot of the time he's not really interested in the show itself, it's more for publicity. however, when he first appeared on a show with you fans noticed that he actually seemed interested for once and that's where your ship name started.
albedos totally a golden child tho, he's like basically perfect in everything so a lot of the times variety shows don't catch him slipping, however the one time that he did was when you were mentioned, the clip of with his ears bright red was trending for a couple of days :)
GIVING ME SO MUCH GOOD FOOD THANK YOU ANON
I think that this covers everything hehehe so I won't add to-
wait wait I put it all under the cut b/c it's a lot again-
Okay okay but like for the 'announcement' picture, what if it's like those photo booth pics (but like each picture you need to scroll through like on Insta) where it's cute and wholesome! The three of you are having fun wearing some silly glasses or hats, doing peace signs or finger hearts....and the very last photo is the three of you sharing a kiss- or, at least trying to.
It's sweet, a little silly, and most of your fans take it really well! After all, they can see the chemistry that you share and can't deny that the three of you would have a good relationship.
As for the insecurities of dating your seniors, Kazuha and Xiao are quick to knock back any of those worries. They love you so, so much and hate the fact that something like that makes you doubt for a single second. If anyone ever tries to bring it up, you know that they're going to immediately quip back.
Naturally, you're roomed with Venven :D He's technically an up-and-coming after he stopped doing idol stuff for a few years, so not only does he know the ropes, but he's also one of your biggest fans and biggest supports (outside of Kazuha and Xiao).
Though he's silly and light-hearted, he's quick to recognize when things are serious and need handling.
So as soon as he sees that you're not doing so great or if he notices the comments on your posts are going in a bad direction, he speed dials Xiao and the two of your boyfriends are right at the door in under 15.
Not only are they fast about it, but they have all your favorite snacks, a movie or two, some popcorn, and a ton of love and affection because they'll be damned if their love is going to be affected by some asshole's comments about their love life! What do they know anyway??
Actually this all could work too if Kazuha and Xiao are part of 4NEMO-
Hmmm
That'd cause so much more ruckus- not only is half of one of the most popular idol groups are taken, but by the same person??? And each other??? Man, that's wack.
BUT THE GAMESHOWS
Xiao would most certainly be super intense with those. He just can't help it--competition drives his blood and makes something snap in him. He's dead serious about doing well, regardless of the game. I actually have never watched said game shows, but--
Like...he's out for blood. No one is safe. Not even you or Kazuha if you're on opposing teams, though he'll be a bit more gentle. Maybe even with the hint of a smile while you have an expression of utter shock at the fact that he's just so fast-
Or if it's not a game show and instead you're doing some sort of idol group activity with a few others to get to know each other?
Someone suggests ping pong and, knowing how competitive Xiao gets, he's pitted up against Tartaglia and man. That's scary. There's no doubt that someone would clip the video and make it into an overly-dramatic retelling complete with music.
Hilarious.
As for Kazuha! He'd be a bit of a mish mosh! He enjoys poking fun at others, and he's so sly! Those poor hosts don't realize that he's goading them on, but sure enough--he is. Who knew that his charming smile and mild-mannered attitude could be so devastating?
But even then, he's mostly wholesome! There's a lot of little clips, mostly of your doing, of him in a 'kiss the chef' apron getting caught off guard while cooking something up. The videos aren't great because you're giggling while recording and he ends up placing the ladle down calmly before wrapping you up in his arms. Half the video ends up being the two of you laughing and joking while it's pointed at a weird angle towards the counter.
Sometimes it'll point just right and you'll get a half-blurred view of Xiao sitting at the kitchen island with his reading glasses perched on his nose and book forgotten. He tends to get up and join in for a few smooches before reminding Kazuha of the food that's still cooking.
--
Albedo!! He absolutely is the golden child. He's fantastic handling things under pressure in a cool, calm manner. Handsome, charismatic, incredibly smart--man's hit all the stops and just keeps going.
It's not until it comes out that the two of you are together that his cool façade (hardly one, though) falters and at the mere mention of you, he'll go soft. There's a tenderness in his eyes, a small smile on his lips, and his blush? Absolutely adorable. How can anyone object when he's obviously so in love with you?
And the idea you mentioned with the two of you traveling and experiencing stuff together sounds so cute (':
He particularly enjoys exploring new cuisine, so expect him to feed you some food from his plate-
There's also a few times where you two have gotten lost in the new places, more because you're both so busy taking in the sights to realize you've taken five wrong turns- But then you make it into a whole adventure, foregoing the map and deciding to wander around. What better way to discover and learn about somewhere than getting lost and wandering?
You find quite a few hidden gems this way since otherwise you'd be hitting more popular areas!
Wait- do they really show idols waking up???
Ahh regardless, Albedo's definitely a cuddler. He loves it, can't get enough of it. It's not often that he gets a good night's rest, but with you it seems like he's fully recharged and ready for the day! It's cute too because it doesn't matter--big spoon or little spoon, you on his chest or him resting on yours. Even a few times with you facing each other with your hands intertwined.
I also agree that Albedo would mess with the game show's hosts and contestants. Not only would he, but he'd be entirely smug about it (after all, we need to have that #smugbedo going on).
No doubt, there's been times where the cameras even focus/zoom in on him where he's sitting because he's got that smirk on his face.

Sunlit memories (Garou x Reader)
tags: fem! Reader, no warnings lol, this is just the first chapter a.k.a the introduction
words: 1.1k
notes: ok so this is the first chapter of the series that I plan to write, so pls feel free to give me some feedback on this and whether you like it and should I continue :'0 💕 Thanks a lot for any kind of support ee 💗
series masterlist
Tumblr media
Chapter one
Playful footsteps scattered across the freshly-cut grass, followed by a few equally spirited barks. Whether the small chocolate-colored dog was chasing the ball or the children lay undetermined, nonetheless they all seemed amused. A mother stood next to the gleeful dog owner, both exchanging chuckles and commenting on how adorable the sight in front of them is. Above them dozens of birds filled the air with a familiar amicable tune, as if the soothing music coming from a nearby café wasn’t enough. The park was never lonely, yet so pleasant at the same time. All those chirps, chatters and noises were like an extra spark, and frankly it’d be rather uncanny if it weren’t for them and the pastel sky above, radiant with soft hues. Cases where belligerent monsters ruined the harmony were rare, although enough to cause one to succumb to unease. Be that as it may, people always push through it and find a reason to enjoy the now sunlit park.
Though, while it was interesting to observe the scenery it wasn’t quite what you were looking for. Fiddling with the pencil in your hand, you stared displeased at the blank page of your sketchbook.
“Why isn’t there anything interesting today?” you pondered, eyes impatiently shifting over the scenery.
Almost every day for the past few weeks you’ve been sitting at this very bench, looking out for something eye-catching to draw. It’s funny how you coincidentally came across your now daily go-to place, a surprisingly comfy wooden bench underneath two large oaks, their treetops creating enough shade for another twenty people. Luckily you had your own peace there without anyone bothering you.
“Hmm… Maybe I just don’t feel like drawing people?”
After a small sigh you leaned against your hand and looked up at the treetops. The sky turned golden already, painting the leaves in shades of olive and amber. Your eyes steadily trailed down to the path next to the old oaks, now noticing a small patch of lilies that with their vivid hues and delicate form drew you in almost immediately.
“Huh. Maybe I should just go for something simple and quick?”
Well, that was what you though right before something else caught your eye. Someone to be exact. A few meters away a rather peculiar-looking guy sat on a bench. He leaned against the bench leisurely while folding his arms, his tight black shirt complementing his muscular built. His gaze was relaxed, albeit alert, and his features were sharp. Sunlight peeked on his wild, silver hair, coloring it with subtle sandy hues almost matching with the golden in his eyes.
Now, if this didn’t give you inspiration then what did? And here you thought you’d be drawing those lilies. You sighed in content, stretching your arms for a few seconds before you got to work. Subtly glancing at his direction from time to time, you had already outlined the portrait. Though, truth be told, he had such a pretty face you were trying not to stare at one point.
“What are you doing?”
You didn’t even manage to let go of your pencil before an unknown voice jolted you out of your thoughts. Much to your bewilderment you looked up to see that same man now only half a meter away, glaring at you.
“Well shit.”
Should you apologize or straight up act like you weren’t just secretly drawing some random person? Or better yet, how the hell is that same person in front of you right now? You were embarrassed as much as you were confused and to make things worse the drawing wasn’t even in your sketchbook anymore.
“Are you a hero or something? I don’t remember seeing you anywhere.” the man asked, shifting his gaze from the drawing in his hand to you.
“Hey when did you take that?!” you finally spoke, an apology being far from your mind at the moment.
On one hand it could be legitimate since you didn’t ask for permission to draw him in the first place, but on the other… What kind of punk would just rip the piece out like that?
“If you’re some c-class dunce trying to gather info on me with this-“, he grinned, still analyzing the art piece “-you’re gonna be sorry pretty soon.”
“Dude I’m not a hero.”
“Wait, what?”
That threatening, cocky grin of his from a moment ago dissipated into thin air like it was nothing, but your confused expression on the other hand only grew bigger. Was he serious?
A soft shade of pink made its way to his face for a brief moment, to which you almost chuckled.
“So you’re seriously not a hero?”
“Um, no..?”
“Your luck.”
“Huh?”
“Nothing.” He headed the opposite direction of you, drawing still in hand.
“Ahh so… can I get that back now please?” you walked behind him, surprised he’s oh so casually trying to leave the scene after such odd behavior.
“Nope, sorry.”
“Aw what, why??”
“Let’s just say it isn’t convenient for me at the moment to have that lying around wherever,” he put both hands in his pockets, “plus I didn’t say you could draw me did I?”
Now your face turned red in embarrassment again. He was right… Though, you still couldn’t help but wonder who this strange guy is. While tearing that drawing out of your valued sketchbook didn’t make for the best first impression, his demeanor wasn’t really belligerent either.
“Ah, sorry about that… However I must say it wasn't polite to take the drawing away like that either.”
His eyes slightly widened in embarrassment before turning away his face again.
"Eh..."
"Don't worry about it though," you smiled for a moment, "I guess it was just a weird misunderstanding or something."
Your eyes shifted on the path you were walking on, already dim because of the now darker sky, “if I may ask, is someone like… searching for you or something?”
“Doesn’t matter,” he glanced back at you, “why are you still following me anyway!? Just go home it’s getting dark.”
“Well, this is the way I take in order to get back home so you can’t really complain,” you smiled to his mild annoyance.
The night sky engulfed the city by now, leaving behind a tranquil atmosphere. Nonetheless, compared to the center of the city, your street wasn’t as bustling. Light shone from the surrounding apartments and lamp posts, and the only sounds present were from the neighbors’ TV’s or the occasional car passing by, much in contrast with the city’s center and night life.
You didn’t ask many more questions as you walked, despite the faint haze in your mind. The man obviously wasn’t too chatty, yet alone keen on sharing any personal details. Be as it may, much to your surprise what you thought would be an awkward walk was actually somewhat refreshing. Hell, you even let out a laugh or two together. Who would’ve thought the on-first-glance intimidating teen is pleasant to be around? Or, well, at least you thought of it like that. In any case way better than walking through those dark alleys alone.

If you’re taking requests, maybe something about Doux finding the reader absolutely delirious from lack of sleep? I may or may not have gotten literally any sleep last night and although I managed to get through my morning routine pretty efficiently I FEEL my body just wiping out. I will be comatose within the hour.

Time isn’t real.  It’s a social construct made to bring order to the general chaos that is human existence.  That was why you were up at 5 a.m for the second, maybe third, night in a row.  Was it healthy?  Probably not, but you didn’t need sleep, you needed answers.  Answers to what?  Who knows at this point, honestly.
You couldn’t say you were surprised when you finally noticed the late, or early hour.  You just shrugged it off and went “fuck it, all-nighter,” which was fine for the moment.  But time’s a bitch, and that moment was over pretty fast.  By noon, you were ready to collapse.  The three cups of coffee did not help.  Instead, they made you vibrate at a frequency that could quite possibly break glass.  As much as this sucked for you, it was worse for your lovely friend and co-worker, Hisirdoux Casperan.
Now, our boi Douxie was and is madly in love with you, but shhh, it’s a secret.  You also love him, and that’s a secret too.  Neither of these secrets are well kept, and the only reason you aren’t together is general stupidity.  Literally, anyone else who watches the two of you interacting can tell that you're in love.  Hell, half the town assumes you’re together already.  The other half keeps trying to get you together.  It is not working very well.  But that’s all a digression.  What you really need to know is that Douxie loves you and watching you suffer from a lack of sleep was Not A Pleasant Experience.  You were delirious, shaky, and constantly off-balance.  You could work well enough, but it was clear that your health was not in the same zone.
The final straw came when you cut your hand on broken glass.  You’d dropped a cup, and instead of using magic, you’d tried to fix the mess by hand.  That plan did not work, and you received a bloody slash across your palm for your troubles.
“Ah.  Fuck,” you said, thinking you were whispering but instead speaking at a normal volume.
“What’s wrong, love?”
“‘S nothing, I’ve got it,” you did not got it, especially not in this state, and Douxie had the good sense to figure that out.  The blood was a pretty good hint though.
“Oh, fuzzbuckets.”
“I told you, I’m toooootally fine, there is nothing to worry about.”
“Here, (Y/N), let me help you-”
“No, no, this is, this is-” it was then that your sleep-deprived brain decided to cut off your train of thought and replace it with another, more chaotic train.  You stopped talking and just stared at Douxie for a solid minute.  Or at least it felt like a solid minute.  Time isn’t real, remember that.
“(Y-Y/N)?  You alright there, darling?”
“You’re really cute, did you know that?  Like… really cute.  Steve was right, you could be a model.”
“I-”
“Also, just gonna put it out there, I freakin’ love it when you call me darling.  Like, I know you call most people darling, but it makes me feel special.  Don’t ask why, it just does.”
Douxie wasn’t planning on asking why.  He wasn’t really planning on anything.  Your sleep-deprived half-confession had turned him from a capable individual into a blushing mess in less than a second.  You always had that effect on him, but it looked like your exhausted state was giving you a bit of an edge.
“Oh, sorry, I made it weird.  Anyway, do you think if I brewed my next coffee with Monster instead of water it would wake me up?   Because I’m still tired, and it isn’t fun.”
“I- you- I’m-”
“I think I might try it, honestly.”
“Ok, how about you don’t do that,”  Archie said, swooping in, literally and figuratively, to save the day, “Douxie, can you please get (Y/N)’s hand patched up?  It looks quite painful and they’re dripping blood onto the carpet.”
You were, in fact, dripping blood onto the carpet.  That wasn’t good, “Oh, that’s- I’m sorry.”
“Don’t fret, just go do something about that hand,” with that, Archie smacked Douxie upside the head in an attempt to snap him out of his flustered state.  It was super effective!
“Ahh, yeah.   C’mon, (Y/N), let’s,,, go,,, fix,,, that.”
“Ok,”  you stood, too tired to protest, and followed Douxie into the back of the bookstore, which was literally just his apartment.  
It was a nice place.  Very cozy, very him.  It made you want to curl up and take a nap, but to be fair, literally everything made you want to curl up and take a nap at the moment.  Regardless, his home made you feel warm and fuzzy on the inside and you never wanted to leave it.  Maybe it was the interior decorating, but you knew it was because your favourite person lived there.  What you didn’t know, or didn’t realize, was that you’d just spoken your entire thought process out loud and Douxie heard every word of it.  Once again, the boy was a blushing mess.  If you were awake enough to process things, you would have found it cute.  Or you’d be dead from embarrassment, that one is a bit of a toss-up.
Fighting through his flustered state, Douxie pulled you into the bathroom and collected a first aid kit from under the counter.  While he focused on getting things done, you curled into a ball in his bathtub.  For some reason, your exhausted brain decided that sitting on the edge of the bathtub simply did not Vibe™ but sitting inside the tub was better than nothing, and so you just,,, curled up there.  Douxie was only a little surprised to see you there.
“(Y/N)?”
“D’you remember that time on Friends when Winona Ryder played a closeted lesbian?  That was a fuckin’ trip, man.”
“(Y/N), darling-”
“That whole episode is just- it’s just strange.”
“(Y/N)-”
“Hehe, Stranger Things.”
“(Y/N), love, I need to see your hand.”
“Oh, fuck, yeah, I forgot.  Here,” you sat up, extending your hand out to the wizard.  He took it, sitting on the edge of the bathtub which was fine for him to do, I guess.  Not you though, you were stuck in bathtub jail for sleep deprivation crimes.
You squinted up at his face as he tended to the nasty scratch you’d given yourself.  You didn’t have the capacity to focus on what he was doing, so instead you focused on him.  He was pretty, as you’d said before, but that was always true.  At that exact moment, his brows were furrowed in concentration, his eyes concerned and his jaw set.  His hands were steadier than yours could ever hope to be, especially since you hadn’t been sleeping.  Overall, he looked kind of mad, so you sunk down into your bath-prison, silent and waiting for him to finish so you could get back to work.
Douxie was not mad at you.  He was upset that you hadn’t been sleeping, but he wasn’t mad.  He was just worried for your health.  Your wizard did not appreciate seeing you shaking and sleep-deprived.  He didn’t appreciate it when your current state led you to injure yourself, either.
He wrapped up your hand and gave it a small pat, “Done.  Now, come on, you’re taking a nap.”
His voice surprised you.  It was gentle, calm, not at all angry like you’d suspected.  You found yourself so lost in it that you didn’t realize what he’d said until he said your name, trying to snap you out of whatever haze you were in.
“Oh, wait, what?  No, shit, I have to get back to work-”
“No, you need sleep.”
“Sleep is for the weak, I need to go-” you stood and almost fell over.  You probably would have broken something if Douxie didn’t catch you.  You hadn’t exactly expected to end up in his arms today, and despite the heat rising in your face and neck, you were not complaining.
“(Y/N)-”
“I’m sorry, Douxie, I-”
“You need to sleep.  Please, (Y/N), don’t make me use a spell on you.”
You froze for a second before a smirk crept onto your face, “You wouldn’t.”
“I-”
“You wouldn’t use a spell on meeeeee-” the smirk grew into a full smile as you let yourself go limp, forcing him to move his hands to support you better and pull you closer to him.  Was that your plan?  Maybe.  Was it part of a second, bigger plan?  Also yes.
“You wanna bet?”
“Sure.”
“I-” and then he went silent.  There was a moment of tension where you just stared into each other’s eyes, holding your breath to see what the other person would do.  Your gaze fell to his lips as his fell to yours.  For that moment, your thoughts began to wander far out of your control.  Douxie’s mind was also running rampant but in a different direction.  You were right, he thought.  He couldn't use magic on you.  As far as he knew, you were a human.  Just a mortal being who crawled their way into his life and stayed there, improving the quality of it greatly.  If there was even the slightest chance that a spell may have negative side effects, which most sleep spells did, he wouldn’t dare risk it, especially not on you.  He sighed, tightening his grip on your waist, “You’re right.”
“What?”  Oop, plan going sideways, PLAN GOING SIDEWAYS!
“I’m- not going to use magic on you,” he helped you to stand, and moved to take a step back before you grabbed his hoodie and pulled him back to you, ignoring the sharp sting in your hand.
“Ok, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, hang on there wizard boy-” you took a moment to pull yourself out of the bathtub entirely, “You can’t give up that easily.”
“Wha-”
“Come onnnnnn, make it fun, make it exciting.  Put a spell on me or whatever, just-” you went quiet for a second, but for once you weren’t distracted.  Just quiet.  You had to face facts.  Your plan had failed, and now you had nothing but the truth.
“(Y/N)?”
“Just make my brain stop.  For just two seconds.”
“What?”
“Please.  I’m running on a motor and I can’t stop myself.  I haven’t slept and I have no choice in the matter.”
“(Y/N)-”
“Look, just, take away my free-will if you have to.  Knock me out, magic or otherwise, I just want five seconds where I’m not on hyperdrive,” you were standing on your own now, though Douxie’s arms were still wrapped around you and you hadn’t let go of his hoodie, “Please.”
The bathroom was silent for a minute.  It took that long for Douxie to process what you’d just said.  You feared, for that moment, that you’d said too much.  You hadn't.  Not to him, anyway.
“Come on.”
“What?”
“Come on,” he said, picking you up, effortlessly sweeping you off your feet.
“Wait, what!?” your voice was slightly more frantic, surprise lacing through your words.
“There’s more than one way to get a person to sleep.”
“Oh-?”
He didn’t respond to your question, instead, he carried you out the door and into what you could only assume was his room.  You had no choice but to wrap your arms around his neck and cling to him for dear life until he set you down on the bed.
“Stay here, okay?  I’m going to make you some tea-”
“Wait!” you stopped him, grabbing his wrist as he turned to leave, “I’m… I’m sorry.”
“You don’t need to be sorry, my darling,” he sat in front of you on the bed, “You just need to get some sleep, okay?”
“But what about-”
“I’ll cover your shift, you don’t need to worry.”
“I-”
“Just rest, for now, love.  Please.”
“Ok,” your words were a whisper, something that Douxie could only just hear.  The next thing though, he didn’t have to strain to hear at all, “Yeah.  I meant what I said earlier, by the way.  You’re so pretty, it isn’t fair.”
He laughed at this, at you, finally seeing some humour in your shenanigans.  He relaxed now knowing that you may actually get some much-needed rest.  He stood, kissing your forehead and tracing the side of your face with a hand, rough from guitar strings and 900 years of sweeping.
“Worry not, love, you’re pretty too.”
“Hey, wait-”
“Don’t ‘hey, wait,’ me.  You are.  Now lie down, I’ll be back in a second.”
A smile crept onto your face as you followed orders.  Your emo wizard man thought you were pretty.  And he cared enough about you to let you sleep during work hours, in his home, no less.  You let yourself relax into the bed, grinning once again.  It smelled like him, like thyme and peppermint, lemongrass and sleep.  It was nice, comforting.  You could only vaguely think of Douxie as your brain finally took a fuckin breather.  It was everything you needed, honestly.
By the time Douxie came back, you were long gone, lost to your dreams and finally asleep.  He sighed a smile that matched yours on his face.  He placed the cup of tea on the bedside table before grabbing a blanket out of his closet and draping it over you.  You looked so peaceful.  Good.  You deserved some peace every now and then.
He took the cup and left you, brushing a strand of hair out of your eyes as he did.  After making his exit, he placed the still-hot tea on the counter, disregarding it for now before returning to the bookshop.
“How are they?”  his familiar asked, tail twisting in concern.
He gave a final fond look at the door before returning to business, “They’re just resting.”  And for once, you were.

Valentine prompts with matenrou and mad trigger crew number 8? 👀
ok so I kinda went ham with this one??? I got a lot of MTC requests so I think I’m gonna do those in their own special post but... phew these MTR ones started as hc lists and then I got possessed by the writing gods and made drabbles.... long post incoming!!!!
Jakurai [ 神宮寺寂雷 ]: In your previous years, you hadn’t done anything notable for Valentine's Day. It wasn’t that you didn’t have anyone, moreover that you and your partner were always busy. However, this year you made an effort to plan something for you and your boyfriend. Sure, maybe it was a little much, you weren’t school children, but someone had to uphold the chocolate-making tradition, right? You begged your boss to let you have the day before and the day of Valentine’s off. It was a tough battle, but you managed to make it out with two days off under your belt! Jakurai however, wasn’t as lucky. Working in a hospital didn’t permit many days off. You got them when you got them, purely by chance if at all. He, unfortunately, had to work that morning, but you weren’t saddened in the slightest. In fact, you were grateful for his calling duties for it gave you more time to craft your surprise for that evening. You somehow managed to sneakily make chocolates the night before, and even more miraculously hide them in the fridge. You tied your hair up and ran to the kitchen as soon as you heard the door close behind Jakurai and his car pull out of the driveway. He was worried that you would be saddened by the fact that he had to work on Valentine’s, but he truly had no idea what was in store upon his return home. Jakurai picked up a bouquet of flowers on his way home that evening, hoping that even the small gesture would bring a smile to his beloved's face. You grinned as you saw your boyfriend’s car pull into the driveway that evening, checking the living room one last time for any crooked corners. On your way to the door, you dimmed the lights and let the candles take center stage, giggling at your reflection as you checked your hair in the mirror. Your eyes widened as you opened the door and were met by not only your dashing boyfriend but a bouquet of flowers as well.  “Jakurai… what is this?” You blushed as he offered you the bouquet and stepped inside. “Well, it’s Valentine's day and you worked hard to get the day off and I had to go in,” He explained as he removed his coat, “I felt that I should at least do something for you,” the doctor leaned in to give you a kiss. “Why are the lights out?”  “Oh! Well, it is Valentine’s Day after all!” You said with a wide smile, reaching out and taking Jakurai’s hand, pulling him towards the living room. “I took advantage of you being at work and put something together~” “Y/n… you didn’t have to,” Jakurai’s ears burned red, taking in the scene in front of him. On the living room table, you had prepared and spread out a nice dinner for the two of you, covered in candlelight. A bouquet of roses stood in a crystal vase surrounded by homemade chocolates. You walked over to the mantle and turned on the radio, soft jazz music dancing around the room.  “No, I didn’t have to, but I wanted to! You do so much for me, it’s the least I could do,” You returned to your boyfriend’s side, hugging his arm. “Happy Valentine’s Day, baby.”  The doctor wrapped his arms around your waist and pulled you in for a kiss, “You make me so happy, y/n. Happy Valentine’s Day, I love you.”
Hifumi [ 伊弉冉 一二三 ]: It didn’t take much to make you jealous. Especially with your boyfriend being one of the top hosts in Shinjuku, envy seemed to come… naturally. Hifumi always assured you that he never did anything more than share a few drinks and maybe a kiss on the cheek with any of his patrons, and you believed him, you did, but that didn’t always stop your mind from wandering. The two of you had talked through his work and what that meant for the two of you countless times, what boundaries each of you had and what you were comfortable with. The waters always became testy around Valentine’s Day. Hifumi would come home with bags full of cards, sweets, bottles of alcohol, and some other… strange things the days leading up to Valentine’s. What were you to do for that special day if every woman and man in Shinjuku had already given Hifumi gifts more luxurious than you could fathom? Your boyfriend wasn’t stupid, he could tell something was up. Moreover, Hifumi knew what this was about. He knew dating a host was hard, and it was even harder over the love-focused holiday. So, he decided that for the first time in his host life, he would call in on Valentine’s. Before heading home from his division meeting with Jakurai and Doppo, he stopped by the small jewelry shop he knew you loved. The host had placed an order earlier in the week, the store clerk was in awe that the number one host in Shinjuku would purchase such a piece. Hifumi only blushed and insisted that there was more to his life than being a host, and there was only one exclusive patron of this high rank. The jeweler wished him well as Hifumi exited the shop with a small, velvet box. When he returned home, Hifumi walked around the apartment for you.  “Y/n?” He knocked on the bedroom door, pushing it open slowly. He frowned as he saw your sleeping figure huddled up in a cocoon of blankets. “Y/n, kitten, are you awake?” Hifumi placed a hand on your shoulder as he sat on the bed. “I thought you would be at work tonight…” you said, turning around and facing him.  He brushed your bangs from your face and leaned down to kiss your forehead. “Well, I was supposed to but, I figured I’ve spent too many Valentine’s Days without you.”  “Your boss must be cross with you,” you said as you sat up and leaned your head on his shoulder.  “Meh, he can deal with it, I need to spend time with my true Valentine after all!” Hifumi’s voice quickly switched to his normal, joyful tone. “Nee, y/n, can I ask you something?” “Hmm? Sure ‘Fumi, what is it?” “I Uhm, well,” His cheeks blossomed with pink, “Well you see uh, I… You make me so happy and I wanted to get you something to show that… also uhm! I know dating a host can be hard and all so I wanted there to be something you can always have to remind you that you’re the only one for me!” Hifumi smiled brightly, reaching into his pocket for the box. “This isn’t the ideal way I planned to do this, but it was a spontaneous thought, to do it tonight. I was gonna wait and take you somewhere real fancy but…” You had tears in your eyes already, slowly realizing what was happening. “Hifumi, baby, it's ok I… are you?”  Hifumi nodded and grabbed your left hand, kissing your knuckles and holding your hand by his face, “Y/n, will you marry me?” “Yes.”
Doppo [ 観音坂 独歩 ]: You hummed happily in front of the stove, soft music softly bumping from your phone. It was early morning and you miraculously managed to wake up early, earlier than your boyfriend too. Today was Valentine’s Day, so the only logical solution to your blessed coincidence was to make your special someone breakfast. You were hoping that you could surprise him with the meal in bed but… you didn’t hold your hopes too high. Doppo always got up painfully early to go to work on weekdays, and just because it was the weekend didn’t mean that the routine would be broken. It was a gamble to try and prepare something to surprise him before he woke up. You glanced briefly at your phone to check the timer you had going for the bacon in the oven, smiling as it seemed that you had just about half an hour left before your tired salaryman rolled out of bed. Alas, you spoke too soon as a pair of warm arms found their way around your waist and a chin sitting on your shoulder.  Doppo hummed and pressed a kiss to your cheek, “Good morning…” he yawned, not making any apparent moves to let go of your waist. “Ahh, Doppo! I was so close! You should have stayed in bed for another twenty minutes!” You pouted, craning your neck to face him. “Good morning to you too,” you allowed yourself to chuckle. “Someone’s affectionate this morning,” your chuckles turned into giggles as your boyfriend peppered kisses on your neck up to your cheeks. “Rest well?” “Mmhm,” the salaryman hummed in agreement, pausing his storm of kisses to peek over your shoulder. “What’re you making?”  You shook your head and smiled, “Well, it was going to be a surprise if someone didn’t get out of bed early!” you clicked your tongue, “I wanted to make you breakfast for Valentine’s Day, surprise you with it if I could… I thought I was doing well with the time too…” Doppo chuckled and kissed the back of your neck, “Hmm, I guess I could go lay down then? Let you finish in here?” “That would be lovely, baby,” you turned around to face him in his embrace and pecked his lips. “It’ll only be about…” you paused to check the time, “ten more minutes! Don’t get too cozy in there, ok?” The man in front of you smiled softly before catching your lips in another kiss. “I’ll try my best, sunshine.” Your cheeks burned red at the pet name, even though you’d been referred to as such many times before. With Doppo now out of the kitchen, you pulled your goodies out of the oven and put a pot of tea on to boil. You continued humming to yourself as you quickly whipped together a batch of pancake mix, spooning the batter in heart shapes in the pan. Once the pancakes were done and you had everything nicely plated, you grinned excitedly as you walked up the stairs to the bedroom, trays in hand. It may not be the ideal surprise you had envisioned, but you were still thrilled. You pushed the door open with your foot and giggled as you approached the bed, noticing that your boyfriend had dozed off.  “Pssst, Doppochi, I thought I told you not to get too comfy,” You placed the trays down and poked his cheek.  “Mm?” he rubbed the sleep from his eyes, “Oh, sorry…” You laughed, “No, no, it’s ok, you need your rest after all! Look! I made us breakfast~” Doppo smiled wide and kissed your cheek “You make me so happy, you know that?”

ITS DONE!!!!  Finally, the RE8 meets RE7 fic is finished and posted!  so for everyone wondering and if you didn't figure it out already. The image I posted earlier is the seating arrangement of the gang as they play the game.  As always its posted on AO3 and under the cut.  I hope you enjoy @ibest14 I never actually played RE7 but I watched a walkthrough to write this.
It was a normal Saturday afternoon when the Winters family got a very strange package.  It was addressed to the whole family and had no return address.
“What the heck is this?” Rose wondered aloud carrying the small package inside, “Hey mom! Did you order something online?”
“Not that I remember, why?” Mia asked curious why her daughter was asking about the mail, “Who is it addressed to? Maybe your dad ordered something.” She went and stood next to Rose to look at the package.
“Hmm, I think we should wait for dad to get home to open it, I mean it is addressed to all of us.” Mia agreed with her daughter and went to continue making dinner.
Ethan got home a few hours later and was greeted by his daughter with a warm hug, “Haha, hey there kid how was your day?” He asked returning the hug and picking Rose up.
“It was good! We got a weird package in the mail, mom and I decided to wait for you before opening it.” Rose said leading him into the kitchen after he put her down.
“Welcome home, Hon! How was work?” Mia asked kissing Ethan on the cheek.
“Ugh, Williams was an absolute pain again.  He somehow unplugged all of his equipment and disconnected his computer from the ethernet cable again.” Ethan complained sitting down at the dinner table next to Rose. “Chris somehow changed his computer to Arabic and Sal’s computer was changed to have wingdings as the default language and it bricked the whole thing, he said it was an accident, but I think it was one of the dicks that keep harassing him.  I told Chris and he’s looking into it.” Ethan picked up the package and looked at the outside.
“Ugh why can’t these douchebags see that Sal is way better than them.  Probably just jealous of him.” Rose said frustrated at the harassment her uncle was receiving.
“We should invite him over for dinner sometime, lift his spirits some!” Mia suggested placing a glass of juice down for Ethan.  He agreed and thanked her for the juice.
Ethan handed the package back to Rose who tore into the packaging.  Inside was a video game box, “Resident Evil? Isn’t that a game from the nineties?” Rose asked confused.
Ethan leaned over to get a better look, “Yeah it is, I played almost all of them, but I’ve never seen that one.  It looks like its supposed to be the seventh one, but they only made six that I know of.” Ethan became confused taking the box from Rose studying it, it strangely didn’t have a back cover.
“Weird, maybe they are rebooting the series, but why wouldn’t there be a lot of news about it?” Rose asked.  Ethan’s face lit up at the possibility of a reboot of his favorite childhood series.
“Man, I hope so, I always loved Craig Bluemarsh and Leo C. Harrison.  They were the best!  The whole M.O.O.N.S squad from Badger City.  Special Ops turned paranormal investigators was the twist of the decade! And the whole thing with Egbert Walberk and how he possessed himself with countless demons to become basically a god.” Ethan sighs as he reminisces.
“You clearly have bad taste honey because Julie Easter was the best character in the series.  The ace of the M.O.O.N.S squad, the one that Walberk kidnapped to force demons into her with a mind control amulet.  Oh, and don’t forget Chloe Bluemarsh, college kid turned aid worker for those affected by the demons.” Mia added as she chopped vegetables for dinner.
“Ahh yes, how could I forget! Anyway, this looks like a cheap bootleg or fake.  Probably just a prank from Dani or Angie.”  Ethan said tossing the case further on the table looking upset.
“Aw man…. That’s lame dad.” Rose says dramatically throwing herself over the back of the chair.  “I’m keeping it anyway; the box looks cool.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A month after the whole package incident, Rose bursts into the house beaming.  “Dad, Uncle Chris just told me that we are having a meeting with the whole gang! We should totally bring that janky game we got and show it off!”
“Whoa, slow down Rose! You’re gonna hurt yourself running around like that.” Ethan says watching his daughter bounce in place.  “Why do you think we should bring that thing anyway? I doubt there will be anytime to just sit around and play a game, if it’s even real.”  Rose rolls her eyes at him.
“Dad, I’m sure Uncle Chris can pull some strings so we can have a little get together.  We never get to see each other all at once!” Rose states, putting on her best puppy dog eyes, “Don’t you want to see the gang, Dad. It would be so much fun.  You know how much I miss them all.” She begs.
Ethan can physically feel his resolve crumbling at his begging daughter, always caving into her once she pulls out the puppy eyes, “Fine, I’ll talk with Chris and we can bring the game with us, but you are responsible for the PlayStation and if it gets damaged or broken you have to buy the new one.” He says in his dad voice, trying to be stern.  Rose squeals and jumps into his arms hugging him.
“You’re the best dad ever!” She says running off to prepare for their long weekend at Blue Umbrella.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Ok, is everyone comfy, I’m about to start the game!” Rose said excitedly setting up the PS4 in the Blue Umbrella lounge room.  Everyone was present, Rose even convinced Miranda and Elena to join them after Milena was put to bed.
“I am unsure of what we are even doing sweet thing.” Alcina said settling into her chair near Donna.
“Well, I’m gonna play this weird game I got, maybe Dani can take over if I get tired.  We are just gonna check it out, if its good, Great! If not, we can make fun of how bad it is!” Rose explained sitting down on the couch wedged between Daniela, Angie, and Heisenberg with Bela and Cassandra on the floor in front of them.  Alcina wasn’t convinced that it would be fun, but she couldn’t deny Rose’s request considering how excited she looked.  She sighed and pulled out her reading glasses seeing the small text on the screen.
“Psh, what are you a grandma?” Heisenberg teased. Alcina growled at him.
“Oh, please grow up you child.” She replied trying to de-escalate the situation knowing Rose and her daughters hated when they argued.
“I see making your head bigger didn’t help your eyesight.” He continued to tease sensing her anger.
“I grew proportionally you ignoramus, becoming larger would not fix my farsightedness.” She growled out becoming angrier.
“Guys….” Rose said sadly at the two arguing.  Heisenberg immediately stopped his next sentence and turned to give Rose a side hug.
“Sorry kiddo, I forgot you hate it when we fight.  I’ll stop, I promise.”  He says sincerely as Alcina nods looking guilty, Rose smiles accepting their apologies.
“No more sappiness get to the action I’m getting bored!” Angie cried out from Daniela’s lap.  Rose rolls her eyes at the doll’s bratty attitude and begins the game.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The game begins with a very familiar video to Ethan and Mia and the sight of Mia recording her warning message on the ship.
“What the…. How is this happening?  It showed the recording from my eyes, but I never recorded that…” Mia says stunned.
The next scene starts with the sound of a phone ringing and the overhead video of a car driving down a highway.  Ethan begins to speak to and unknown man in the voice over explaining how he was contacted by Mia and that she wants him to come and get her.
“This has to be a sick prank!  How did these people get that phone call!” Ethan shouts getting more and more upset as the clip plays. Mia places a hand on his arm to comfort him.
“Maybe there will be an explanation later.  There has to be….” Mia says trying to calm Ethan.
Rose pauses the game as it shifts to Ethan’s perspective in the car, “We don’t have to keep playing if this is making you guys uncomfortable.” She says to her parents.
Ethan takes a deep breath, “No, no… it’s fine, you were really excited for this.  I was just shocked.  I’m okay to keep going, as long as you are okay too Mia.”  She nods in agreement with her husband clearly rattled but pushing through.  Rose nods continuing the game as she walks Ethan through the thick Louisiana swamp towards the Baker house.
The first obstacle they encounter is a locked gate.  She moves him down a path leading to a trashed car with camera equipment scattered around it.  Looking in they find a scrip proposal for Sewer Gators Ep. 17.
They then come across a broken gate with a sign that says, “Accept Her Gift”, “Oh yeah definitely just walk through that incredibly ominous gate into the disgusting swamp.” Heisenberg says gesturing towards the screen, “I’d just say, ‘sorry lady I’m not that desperate for a wife’ and dip.”
“He has a point dad, I mean really its been three years.  Just move on.” Rose says to her father.
Ethan blushes, “Hey you can’t judge a man in love.  I had to know what happened.”
“Nah man, just accept the death bro.  Totally not worth it.” Daniela says interjecting.
“I’m right her you know.” Mia says scolding them.  Rose giggles and continues on.  They come across the remains of a fire with Mia’s purse laying there.  They then enter the Guest house finding it to be disgusting and in disrepair.
“God, I forgot how gross this place was.” Ethan says wrinkling his nose.
Rose looks around the living room area, finding a hidden chain that opens a hidden room they go through. Exploring further leads them into a flooded basement they are forced to crawl through.
“Oh, please Ethan, I know you are insanely stubborn but the corpse in the flooded basement should have been an indicator to leave immediately.” Alcina says as the dead body floats up in front of them.
“Ok, Ok I get it I’m a crazy person for going on, but can we please stop commenting on it.  I’m aware of the insanity.” Ethan replies as Rose comes up into a basement room with a jail cell containing Mia as well as other information on people who were listed as turned or dead.  They pick up the bolt cutters and break open Mia’s cell.  While they are being reunited Mia acts strangely warning him of the dangers and of Daddy.
“Pft, seriously? Daddy?” Dani snickers at Mia.
“Don’t start.  I was possessed by a child obsessed with family.” Mia says glaring at Dani.
Rose follows Mia through the basement where she and Ethan stop to talk about the last three years.
“Come on! This is a life or death situation, get a move on!” Cassandra yells out at the screen.
Rose continues to creep through the basement following Mia as Ethan learning more about her capture as they walk.  They come across a living room type area where Mia starts to act strangely, talking about family and when Ethan leaves, they hear her crash through the wall revealing a staircase to the house.  They move through the house looking for Mia.  They hear crashing coming from the stairs they came from and return to find Mia on all fours crawling up the stairs.  She attacks Ethan looking monstrous as she throws him back up with superhuman strength. She then attacks him with a knife stabbing him through the hand.  After a struggle she regains control rambling about a strange her as she slams her head against the wall.
“Jesus man, that is hard core…” Heisenberg says in awe. Mia grimaces at the memory.  Rose continues on wandering before they are attacked by Mia once again.  They fight her off with an axe.  “Ethan, my friend, you always have to double check that your enemy is dead.  She is definitely gonna get up again, classic horror trope.” Heisenberg says wisely.
“Karl, this actually happened.  I wasn’t thinking about ‘horror tropes’.  I was focusing on surviving.” Ethan says to him.
“Also, of course I’m going to get up, I’m sitting right here.  I’m clearly not dead.” Mia says exasperated.
Rose moves on with the game ignoring them and answers the phone that had begun to ring.  “Dad why did you answer the phone? Just leave.” She says as Zoe gives her warning to Ethan.  “Oh yeah let’s listen to the random phone lady and not just break a window.” She says rolling her eyes.
They move on solving the puzzle for the stairs catching a glimpse of the not at all dead Mia.  Replacing the fuse, they are jumped by Mia again who attacks him with a screwdriver pinning him to the wall before chopping his had off with a chainsaw.
“My god man! How did you keep going!” Sal exclaims looking at Ethan who just shrugs.
They find a pistol in one of the rooms and use it to take care of the attacking Mia as she rants crazily. Finally taking her down, they are ambushed by Jack Baker who punches him in the face.
“See I told you that you should have moved faster, now ‘Daddy’ caught you.” Cass says as Ethan falls over and is stomped on by Jack.  They see him being dragged and Mia being carried by Jack, the scene changes to Ethan strapped to a chair with Zoe staples his hand back on.  He finally fully awakes to a disgusting family dinner with the whole Baker family.
“Ugh, I miss Momma’s cooking so much.” Mia says reminiscing happily.  Everyone stares at her as they see the disgusting meal on the table in game.  She blushes, “Before she went fully crazy, she was an amazing cook.  Her gumbo was to die for, oh and Daddy’s fried chicken, mmm.”  She explains to them.  No one seems convinced as the scene continues with Lucas throwing food at him and Marguerite tries to get Ethan to eat, and Jack cuts off Lucas’ hand. Jack comes over and forces the rancid food into Ethan’s face as Marguerite rants and leaves angrily, Jack then cuts Ethan’s face before being interrupted by the doorbell.  They escape and flee through the house trying to find an exit. They find a key and are chased by Jack before escaping to the crawlspace.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They explore the house before a police officer tries to ask Ethan questions.
“Man, that officer is kind of a dick…” Heisenberg says realizing how rude and unprofessional the officer is.
“He was a massive dick.” Ethan says frustrated at the memory of their interactions.  They make the way to the garage to meet the rude officer who refuses to take the situation seriously which leads to his death and Ethan’s continued entrapment.  “See, massive dick, we could have escaped, but noooo.” He says.
Rose nods in agreement as she avoids Jack in the garage and tries to defeat him with the car.  The car crashes and catches fire revealing an on fire Jack who is knocked down by the resulting explosion.  They collect the items in the room before climbing up the revealed ladder. Jack stops Ethan and shoots himself in the head with Ethan’s gun.
“I’ll say it again, he ain’t dead.  He’s coming back sooner or later.” Heisenberg says again.
“Yeah, no shit Sherlock. This game’s been full of tropes so far.” Cassandra responds to him rolling her eyes.
Rose continues on solving puzzles and making their way through the labyrinthine house avoiding the obviously not dead Jack and the molded that are scattered around the house. They see Jack mumbling to himself about being “her” and talking about how he is going to kill Ethan.
“God he’s so cool.” Dani says as he leaves the room getting looks from the others, “What? He’s a cool villain.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The fight with Jack was a bit of a struggle for Rose, but she made it through with Heisenberg, Dani, and Cass cheering her on.
When he finally exploded, both Heisenberg and Dani called out in joy, “Now that’s how you kill a villain!” Heisenberg shouted out with a laugh and high fived Dani over Rose’s head. As they make their way through the house again completing puzzles and finding Grandma in random places.
“She is the one who caused all this.” Alcina says pointing at Grandma.  Ethan and Mia looks shocked.
“How did you know that?” Mia asks. Alcina scoffs as if it is obvious.
“She hasn’t had the focus at all, yet she appears at random seemingly following Ethan, who we know is the next victim in mind.  She is clearly Eveline.”  She says smugly to everyone’s shocked faces.
Rose moved on ignoring the gloating.  She came across a trailer in the yard, exploring it revealed that it was Zoe’s home containing some useful items that she ignored moving to leave as the phone rang. Zoe explained about the mold and how to progress.
“Why are you so trusting of this woman, you don’t know her, and she has admitted that she is a part of the family trying to kill you?” Bela asked turning to face Ethan.  He opened his mouth to answer but nothing came out, he paused thinking and shrugged.  Bela rolled her eyes at him, “Typical man thing.” She mumbled out returning to her original position.
They move on to the old house and Marguerite just as Zoe instructed. Coming across baby dolls strung up from the rafters of the bridge.  “Whoever made those should be killed.” Donna said quietly.  Everyone looked at her confused.  “The look like such poor quality dolls, anyone who cares would never let them fall apart so easily.  Cheap plastic is the worst fate a doll can experience.” She explains confident.
“You aren’t upset at the fact that they are strung up, just that they suck?” Rose asks her.
“Of course, you can do what you like with them, but the craft must be respected.  These cheap factory made ones are a disgrace.”  Donna explains upset at the virtual dolls.  Rose mumbles an ok before moving on into the bug infested old house.  They make their way through the house avoiding mutant bugs and solving puzzles.
“Gotta say girls, these things really remind me of you three.” Heisenberg says as Rose burns her way through the nests of bugs.
“How dare you compare my girls to these disgusting things!  They are clearly superior in every way.” Alcina says angrily defending her girls.
“Thank you, mother, but he has a bit of a point.” Bela says to her mother with Cassandra nodding in agreement.
“Momma has a point though too! We are better than those things!” Dani says beaming at her mother. Cass mumbles suck up under her breath and is smacked by Dani.
Soon after they find Mia in game again, she explains her amnesia and is taken away by Lucas.  Not being able to help they continue on through the house again.  Eventually they are found by Marguerite who begins to stalk them through the house attacking them with her swarm of insects, insane rants, and vulgar obscenities.
“This lady is something else…” Heisenberg says cringing at Marguerite.
“For once we agree on something Karl.” Alcina agrees cringing as well.  The others nod in agreement with them.
They make their way through a secret passageway revealed by the spider shadow puzzle.  The wall space was infested which had everyone cringing at the writhing masses of centipedes.  They collect the crank and the crow key and try to enter Marguerite’s room before she throws him down the stairs and through the floor.  After a short encounter, she falls into the hole and melts into black goo. They collect information on the D series pieces and Zoe calls again, and she mentions they only need the arm piece as she has the D series head.  They return to the hole to see the goo gone and a long spindly arm take the lantern needed to progress.  They follow the monstrosity to well in front of the old house returning to Zoe’s trailer. They return to a new section of the old house where they are attacked by a mutated spider like Marguerite.
They run around the house, avoiding her swarms and attacks while burning her with the flamethrower and peppering her with shotgun shots to the disgusting nest on her lower half.
“I take it back; you girls are way more similar to the bug lady.” Heisenberg says once she finally dies. Alcina slaps the back of his head and growls at him.
“Momma can we mutate like that too!” Dani says excitedly as Bela and Cass cringe.
“Absolutely not.  Do not even think about trying.” Alcina scolds while Heisenberg and Rose chuckle at them.
“Why would anyone want to have a gross bug vagina?”  Cassandra turns around asking her sister.
Dani shrugs, “I don’t know, I just think it would be neat.” Rose shoves the controller into Dani’s hands and takes Angie from her.
“No more bug talk, you play, I’m getting tired.” Rose says stretching.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They find their way into Eveline’s secret room and collect the arm.  They go to meet Zoe in her trailer only to find that no one is there.  They answer a call from Lucas where he tells Ethan that he has both Zoe and Mia, and that Ethan needs to play his game to save them and get the head.  They make their way back to the main house’s dissection room where they pull the snake key out of the dead deputy’s neck hole.  Lucas’ voice come out through a speaker explaining they need to find two keycards so they can meet.
“Ohhh, I love this guy! I’m getting so many ideas for new games, hehehe!” Angie says excitedly bouncing in Rose’s lap.  Donna glares at the doll chastising her through their mental link.  Angie pouts at the scolding.
They make their way through the increasingly molded main house solving Lucas’ puzzles and dodging the molded shambling around.  They find the blue keycard and make their way down into a secret room containing the red keycard.  Lucas calls again at the phone in the main hall, leading Ethan to a party in the barn.
They enter the barn to thumping music and glowing paint under a black light.  They come across a room with a television showing Lucas ranting and waving the D series head around, ranting about how he doesn’t want to give up his gift and that they can only get the serum from him before the television explodes.  They make their way through the barn avoiding trip mines and coming up to a locked gate with a passcode.  Lucas makes an appearance taunting Ethan and giving him incorrect passwords before a trap springs and a secret door opens up.
They wind through the barn avoiding the traps and taking out the molded arriving at Lucas’ arena where they fight off a giant molded.  After the fight they find the correct passcode to enter the birthday room.  They solve his puzzles and escape through the hole created by the dynamite.  They see a television with Zoe and Mia, Zoe explains where they are before Lucas cuts the camera to himself ranting about nothing.  They collect the D series head and leave the barn making their way to Zoe and Mia.  They release Zoe and Mia before collecting the completed serum.  Just after they are ambushed by a fully mutated Jack.
“Wait he isn’t dead?! I can’t believe I didn’t call it!” Heisenberg calls out as Dani fights Jack.
After a long grueling fight, taking out Jacks many swollen eyes and using one of the two serums to calcify him at Zoe’s request.  Walking down the pier they are faced with a choice to cure either Zoe or Mia.
“Well clearly we are supposed to cure mom. Its what dad did in real life.” Rose says.
“True, I did.  I did feel bad though, Chris ended up saving Zoe and her uncle, so it all ended up good.” Ethan says.
“Yeah, sure choosing Mia is what really happened but what if we chose Zoe?” Dani asks hovering over Zoe in game.
“No! We can do it later right now we are choosing mom.” Rose says sternly.
“Fiiiiinnnnnee.” Dani whines out giving Mia the serum.  They take the raft down the river listening to Ethan and Mia talk about the situation before they come across the wrecked boat Mia and Eveline arrived on.  They are attacked by the mold, and they switch to Mia’s perspective as they hear Eveline speak to her through their mental connection.
“Well, this is going to be interesting, I’ve never seen this before.” Ethan says as they move into the ship. They find an unconscious Ethan who is taken by the mold deeper into the ship.  They move through the mold infested ship as Mia, getting flashbacks as they move on.  They follow the phantom Eveline to a room containing a television where they watch a video tape that blends into them playing through the situation leading to the crash of the ship and the infection of the Baker family.
They see Mia’s partner Alan who explains he is the reason Eveline escaped he explains that she needs to fix his mess and they begin to track Eveline through the ship.  They finally come across Eveline in the engine room before she runs off again.  They find Alan again in the room next to the one where they started the video tape. As he explains that Eveline is deteriorating, he insults her, and she overtakes him with the mold.  The mold then spreads to Mia infecting her.  They then see Mia recording the warning video from the beginning of the game.  The section ends with Mia being blown off the ship and floating unconscious in the water, before returning to the present with Mia and the Phantom Eveline talking. Making their way to the bridge they use the surveillance cameras to find Ethan trapped in mold in the engine room. On the way there they are impeded by the phantom Eveline and the remaining molded.
As Mia finds Ethan, the perspective swaps back to Ethan’s mind as he speaks to a sane Jack.  He explains that Eveline is the cause of all the murders and kidnappings.  He says that they were infected when He rescued her from the crashed tanker.  Jack also explains that stopping Eveline will stop the mold.  Before Ethan awakens to Eveline and Mia arguing.  Mia rips him free from the mold prison and gives him the tissue sample before locking him out of the engine room urging him to kill Eveline.  They continue through the bayou to a salt mine near the Baker house.  They hear a military broadcast explaining a team was sent in to take down Eveline. They traverse the salt mines finding an underground lab with information on Eveline and the E series mold.  They use Eveline’s tissue samples to make the E- Necrotoxin that is used to kill her permanently. As they exit the mine, Ethan sees flashes of Eveline as she sends the molded to kill him. They exit the mine into the original room Ethan found Mia in where he has a vision of Mia panicking.  He continues to see visions of Mia’s attack on him and Eveline controlling her.  They stab Eveline with the serum, and she reveals her true form as Grandma before melting away and mutating into a large monstrosity.
As Dani fights the massive face of Eveline, Miranda mumbles to herself, “Absolutely fascinating.  How she responds to different stimuli and the delayed injection of the Necrotoxin.” Rose and Dani scream forgetting that Miranda was sitting behind them.
“Jesus Christ! What is wrong with you! You scared the living hell out of us!” Rose yells at her turning to face Miranda who has a notebook open in her lap.  “What are you even doing?”
Miranda blushes at being caught, “I was taking notes on how E-001 reacted and how the family responded to the infection.  It is incredibly fascinating that the whole Baker family mutated without becoming one of the shambling molded.”
“Trust me she was about to run off and work more before I stopped her.” Elena interjects into Miranda’s rambling.  “Don’t worry, I won’t let her work on the Eveline project outside of simply watching videos.” Miranda’s blush deepens and she looks embarrassed at being called out by her lab assistant.
“Good, no more mind control children allowed.” Dani says rudely turning back to the screen continuing the final fight.
Ethan is thrown from the house and sees helicopters arriving at the house as he is attacked by Eveline. He uses an unknown gun to shoot Eveline calcifying and crumbling her finally.  After the battle, Ethan and Mia are rescued by Chris.  The final shots of the game are Ethan speaking over clips of marshlands and the reveal of the Blue Umbrella helicopter.
“Well that certainly was something….” Ethan says as the credits roll.  Mia wide eyed and shocked nods in agreement.
“So, all that actually happened?” Rose asks her parents, they both nod. “Ok well that doesn’t explain how the heck this got made or why we were sent it or by who!” Rose rants.
“Who cares, it was awesome!” Dani exclaims high fiving Angie who cheers with her.
“Can we leave now? My back is beginning to hurt.” Bela complains standing up and stretching.
Rose boos her, “Fine be boring.  What did everyone else think?” She asks everyone left in the room.
“Amazing! Fantastic! Ten out of ten!” Dani exclaims clinging onto Rose.
“It was interesting, very cinematic.  A bit tropey at times but it works in its favor.  Especially since this technically happened.  The villains were enjoyable and empathetic at the same time.” Heisenberg critiques.
“Yeah, whatever it was fine.” Cass says getting up and leaving the room.
“I had quite a nice time, I’m glad you suggested this, Rose.” Alcina says picking up the sleeping Donna. “I’m sure Donna will apologize for falling asleep tomorrow morning.  Have a good night.”  She kisses the top of Rose and Dani’s heads and leave the room.
“It was quite informative, thank you for inviting me, Rose.  I truly appreciate it.  Now I must go and review my notes.” Miranda says looking at her notebook as she slowly leaves the room.
“We are actually going to bed, but thanks for inviting us, Rose.  We’ll have to do it again soon!” Elena says grabbing Miranda’s arm and taking her notebook.
“I think your mom and I have some talking to do, but you guys have a good night sweetie.” Ethan says getting up before kissing Rose on the head.
“Yeah, outside of the horrifying content of this ‘game’ it was fun.  Have a good night honey.” Mia says following her husband to their room.
“Alright seems like the party is dying down and someone has to get Sal to his room.  Seems like he and Donna can’t stay up late like us cool kids.” Heisenberg laughs out shaking Sal awake.  Sal stands up groggily and leans ion Heisenberg as they leave to their respective rooms.
“Lame everyone left. You want to stay up or are you hitting the sack too?” Dani asks Rose.
“I think I’m going to bed too.  I have a lot to think about.” Rose says hugging Dani, “See you in the morning Dan.”  Dani decides to follow Rose and they head to bed.
In his assigned quarters, the Duke watches the group scatter to their rooms for bed, “I’m glad they enjoyed my little gift.  Hopefully, it answers some questions for them.” The Duke says to himself chuckling.

Holy Musical B@man
I told myself last week to make sure that I rewatch HMB for the 10th anniversary, and I nearly forgot. Mostly because I forgot what day it was.
But today (yesterday) is the 10th anniversary of Holy Musical B@man being posted on YouTube! Yay!
Like I did with MAMD, I’m going to try not to pause every 5 seconds, but inevitably I will end up doing it anyway. (Spoiler alert, I did)
I call this “Hope Freaks Out Over Puns and Costumes for 5000 Words and Comes Up With a Conspiracy Theory about Denise’s Character(s).”
Our first image of Jeff in a StarKid show is him maniacally laughing. Sounds about right. The underwear. I can’t. June Saito, my girl, these are still some of the funnest costumes StarKid has ever done. Oh and Chris Allen! Nico! Oh Jim Povolo my beloved. “There ain’t no such thing as a Bat” You sure about that? “Well it’s a good thing I brought... my racket.” I’M DEAD. The prop comedy in this show. This was just a taste of what’s to come. “Oh my fucking tibia!” Guys I swore I wouldn’t pause every 5 seconds but I can’t not do it. “Support your families like the rest of us. Be born billionaires.” God these lines. Nick(cholas Joseph) Strauss(-Matathia) and Lauren! The way Nick says “fear” like “fair” I’m dead. “And then it’s signed ‘Bruce Wayne’... but then that’s crossed out and underneath it’s written... Batman!” Guys. Guys. This show. Is so funny. AHH BRIAN AS CLARK KENT IN THE BACKGROUND. Love love love. I’m not the biggest DC person, I always say that my DC knowledge comes from the OG Teen Titans and Justice League over 15 years ago. But even I clocked Brian as Clark immediately, and I was so excited. “Does he want fruit or blood?” I swear, StarKid is just casually throwing in some of the most hilarious jokes in the first 10 minutes. The plane!! “Rata tat tat” I can’t. Raise your hand if you only know where your patellar tendons are because of HMB. *Raises hand.* “God’s not up here. Only. Batman!” GUYS. I’m gonna die of laughter before this show finishes. Oh that poor Shop Owner. “Batman? Rabble rabble rabble.” No I totally didn’t just go “rabble rabble rabble” with them... why would you think that... The fact that it’s taken me until now to mention Dylan’s voice in this post is disgraceful. But oh my god Dylan’s voice. So perfect for this opening and so perfect in general. Woah. I NEVER noticed that everyone is just sitting on the back platform nodding their heads to the music while Denise and Jim have their pizza scene. “I wonder if Bruce Wayne knows that Batman lives under his house.” Seriously, why did I never notice the entire cast was just sitting there until 10 years later. “‘Love Batman.’” “Love Batman.” Ok but was any of what he said about the system wrong? I don’t think I ever noticed that Batman is dancing with the rest of the cast. I guess I assume he just loomed in angst above them. Julia’s voiceover while everyone is dancing and singing the final chorus, announcing that the Joker is dead, is so dramatic and amazing.
God. The way they set up Batman’s entire backstory, set the stage for Gotham City and its many issues, and essentially told the audience “Look, the Joker’s not gonna be here, so don’t even ask. He’s dead. Bye bye.” all in an amazing 10 minute song that shows off Dylan’s beautiful voice? Incredible. Possibly the best opening of any StarKid show. Dare I say better than Back to Hogwarts? Honestly, I think it is.
"The city’s crime rates are at an all time low!” “Yay!” *everyone pulls out a gun to shoot at the sky* “Yup. Still the highest in the world but we’re working on it.” Amazing. “Hahaha. Striking terror. Best part of the job.” Bruce why. The synchronized movements, and Denise doing them all with a pizza box strapped to her hand. I’m dead. Wait didn’t that Shop Owner die? “It’s - Captain Marvel!” I want Nico to know, that when I watched Endgame and Captain Marvel came swooping in during the final Thanos battle, that Nico’s voice saying “It’s Captain Marvel!” was the only thing that went through my mind. I am not even remotely joking. I wanted to make a post about it but couldn’t find a good enough gif of him saying it so I never did. But I really wanted to. “Hey guys, it’s Captain Marvel all the way from Metropolis” “It’s Superman” “It’s Captain Marvel!” That joke deserved more laughs. “Oh no. Are my limitless powers about to run out?... 😏 No!” I’m dead. “Hey I caught the Riddler, you were looking for this guy right?” I’m dying. The way Batman walks in all slumped, then does the flourish of the cape, is great. “Now, when I wrote Huckleberry Finn...” I knew the Commissioner said something insane before the fade out. I did not remember that. Batman putting the glasses on Superman. I can’t. The fact that the citizens of Gotham were willing to shoot Superman over an insult is insane.
"It’s your father’s plane. And it’s all that’s left of him.” His father had a bat shaped plane? “Ah now there’s a good idea. Spiderman could use a good plane.” Amazing. Love the foreshadowing. “...I have a confession to make, sir.” That deserved a bigger laugh. “Turn around. The other way.” Ok wait. Is Lucius Fox being Alfred actually canon... I don’t know who Lucius Fox is, soooo, off to google! OKAY NO THE ANSWER TO THAT IS NO. Lucius Fox is Black. But in some storylines he does sort of replace Alfred. So I see where StarKid got this from, but eek feels a bit weird to me. (Can you tell I really do have only the bare minimum of DC knowledge?) “I buy you new clothes!” Amazing. [Batman sobbing... again] StarKid captions are so great. “You got my hopes up so high, and then you mugged and shot them in an alleyway.” God. I used to use that line all the time. I should start using it again. “The cave is a mess!” The dramatics. I have not yet seen the Rpattz Batman movie, but I fully imagine this is how exactly he acts. “You know, before the war, your father used these tunnels to help build the underground railroad.” Ok wait. Wait. WHAT war? And do they mean a railroad that’s underground, or the Underground Railroad? I am confusion. “And I swore I protect you - and I haven’t.” Dying. “And make bloody certain that you’d never see another dark, sad, lonely night.” The sentiment behind that line makes me actually emotional. Alfred really cares about him. “I never had a pony.” Iconic.  THE BAT DANCERS. I remembered them a second before they came onstage. Ok you can REALLY tell that Lauren and Denise are the dancers, because they reacted sadly to the “peanuts and shellfish” line since they’re more used to conveying the emotions of the music, while Meredith and Jaime kept pleasant smiles on their faces. I love the way Joe mimes driving the friendship ship. God the joy I had the first time Dylan came out as Green Lantern. I knew very few DC superheroes, but Green Lantern was always a favorite. And the first time I watched the show I was like “Who’s singing with Lauren?” I honestly can’t remember if I immediately figured out it was Jeff, or if it took until everyone else was onstage and accounted for for me to realize it was him. I ADORE the way Jeff walks onstage for that part though. So much swagger. The low “Somebody. Somebody.” line is my favorite. Mostly because of Jim. “Somebody anybody everybody be a buddy.” So great. And then just the trio. Then just Batman. GOD that’s such a good song. WAIT THIS IS 1997? BUT THEY HAVE IPHONES? Did I just NEVER notice that or did I forget? “Save it for a rainy day, I will.” I can’t. That kick jump though.
“All night long I’m busy partying with my friends at the Fortress... of Solitude.” Seriously this show is too funny. Green Lantern comes in singing “I wanna beeeee” so was he singing Dark Sad Lonely Night or was he singing I Wanna Be from Starship? I know the answer but let’s pretend it’s a cute reference to another musical. But also, he’d be singing an in-universe song... which would mean that every song they sing is sung out loud and not just imaginary... I’ve overthinking again. NICK COMING IN SINGING SINGLE LADIES. Oh my god and the zipper. I can’t. “Yoink.” I’m dying. Nick kills me every show. This takes place in 1997, but Twitter’s around... ok then. “Wait. You know my secret identity?” “It’s a secret?” I laughed so hard. The way Dylan laughed at the 2 dollar bill joke was so cute. “It’s like, have you ever heard of Mr. Mxyzptlk?” “No.” “No... That’s right. Cause I do my damn job.” That scene has been gif’d and went decently viral on Tumblr over these last 10 years. It kills me every time. “My ring is ringing.” Underrated line. I love the attention to detail that it’s Meredith’s voice for Wonder Woman.
Yesssss here we go. The most iconic villain song ever! The costumes. June my girl. Amazing. I love that Jim just doesn’t even participate in the dance break. And the way Denise modifies some dance moves to be more cat-like! So good! Nick also waddles like a penguin! Yes! “I’ll weed out any wussy.” “I’m a pretty little kitty but I ain’t no-” The BEST line. The PUNS. Every other word is a pun. The way the “I thought I saw a putty-tat” works as both a cat and bird pun! “I’m sure you’ve all be reading my... tweets.” Amazing.
CONSPIRACY THEORY TIME. Nick and Matt allowed Twitter to be a thing in this show despite the 1997 setting, PURELY so they could make that one Penguin joke. I’m ready to assume that’s the reason. I do not hold it against them. It’s a good joke.
"I second that!” I laughed so hard. “Snow way.” “Leaf!” Incredible. I just rewatched this scene because of 2/22/22 so it’s very fresh, yet I’m still dying. The way you can see Jeff walk backstage to his entrance. “Get your broke ass out of here, Two-Face.” HOW DID I FORGET THAT LINE? Sweet Tooth! Here we go. The moment Jeff stole all of our hearts. Or at least stole mine.  “Well well well, looks like you guys are up to your old... Twix.” Iconic. Also Jim’s shoe is untied. Oh 100 Grand bars. It’s been 9 years since I developed my chocolate allergy, and honestly, 100 Grand bars are the only chocolate bars I still miss to this day. Chilly Willy! God all the debates over who was under the Chilly Willy suit. I forget when it was finally confirmed to be Joe. But looking at him, from the way he holds himself I don’t know why I didn’t always know it was Joe. The way Chilly Willy says “three!” just after Sweet Tooth, almost excited to know the answer. I’m dead. Chilly Willy twitching on the ground. I can’t. Ok my OCD cannot handle Denise putting the lollipop in her mouth after Jeff had his hands all over the candy part. Nope nope nope. That specific part has made me anxious for 10 years. But I know Denise liked that joke though since she got a new flavor of lollipop every show. “Now quit your Snickering, you AirHeads.” Oh my god. The costume design plus the prop work plus the writing all coming together to create this amazing character. I can’t. Speaking of the costume. I LOVE the shade of aqua they use for Sweet Tooth’s vest and handkerchief. They actually both have a very nice subtle paisley-like design to it. Love love love. Also the peppermint striped tie. June Saito. You really just went above and beyond for this show. Lauren’s crown is literally so big it’s covering her eyes. You can see Brian backstage getting ready for his entrance while Nico’s doing his Sherlock Holmes bit.
Ok I have QUESTIONS. What does the Commissioner think of evil Huckleberry Finn if HE is the one who wrote the book? Either the book is public domain and Commissioner Gordon is a billion years old, OR Evil Huckleberry Finn is committing copyright infringement. Honestly though, adding copyright infringement onto whatever other crimes he’s committing would be really funny...
“The battle can begin, OOOH” The way he goes “OOOH” is so great. Evil Mother Goose. The best. Brian’s laughter as Huck Finn. “Rogues are we.” “HONK!” The BEST villain song ever. Not even just StarKid. I mean for all of musical theatre history. The number of times I’ve rewatched Rogues Are We and the Reprise over the years is insane. It’s been years since I last watched HMB in full, but I come back to Rogues Are We all the time. And the Apocalyptour and other live performance version of Rogues Medley are AMAZING too. So great.
10 years ago, 16 year old Hope finished this part, and had already decided that Jeff had soared towards the top of her favorite StarKids list. Just one song did it. He’s that amazing.
Joe’s face when he peaks back out around the door. I can’t. “Batman loves the circus.” Yay Nick Lang! I know he was in the opening but still. “Or a clown at least. I miss the Joker.” I laughed so hard just now. “I’m Bruce-Man - I mean. I’m Bat-Wayne. Fuck!” Literally the funniest thing. “Dazzling!” Of all the adjectives to pick. “A juice box. And make it a Motts, goddammit.” I completely forgot that line. “The floorboards are warped with tears of sorrow.” Oh my god that’s so sad. “May I be frank with you?” “Well sure, Frank, if you prefer it to Dick.” “I’m just your average... run of the mill... down on his luck... billionaire.” Awww in the background you start to softly hear Dynamic Duet as Bruce gets ready to reveal he’s Batman to Dick. “It was the man behind the bat symbol, and in front of the cape.” “.........Me?” “I’m a little poopy pants.” “Yes I would like that.” Adorable. Nick plays such a convincing little boy. “You must take on the guise of what you fear most to scare... them.... yeahhhhh.” That face journey though. “I think that Batman works well because I’m a HUGE BAT, but I’m a tiny pterodactyl.” Honestly, good point. And I completely forgot that line. The tear-away suit reveal! So good! “Tonight will be a night-” “Of dancing!” “Uhh... YEAAHHHH.” That was such a cute scene.
Also I need to check if a specific tumblr account still exists... I’ll be shocked if it does. Ok maybe this was a fever dream but I am like 95% sure there was a tumblr account called Nick Lang’s Legs because of his costume in HMB, but I can’t find it. It either was deleted or it never existed at all, but I’m pretty sure it was a thing. I did find a twitter account though. I wonder if I knew the person and I just can’t remember who they were now since it’s been 10 years....
Jim’s walking stiffer as Matches out of the hospital. Great detail. AHHH I FORGOT ABOUT EGGHEAD. “Egg-cellent” I’M DYING. “SCRAMBLE.” The dead bodies snapping. I remembered that a minute before it happened. “Look Batman, a dog!” “Quick Robin! Pet it.” Oh my god. 10 years later. I FINALLY understand why StarKid picked TGI Fridays as the establishment that Calendar man robs. I guess I thought they just wanted to pick something random. But no. Calendar joke. That went over my teenage head apparently. “Calendar man your days are, numbered.” “Hee hee hee hee hee.” I’m dying. “Thank you Batman” *Batman punches her too.* HELP I laughed way too hard at that. I feel like a gif of Robin and Batman dancing the night away is really widespread. But I don’t know for sure. I just know I’ve seen that particular little moment MANY times over the years. Maybe it was in a fan-edit... Shoot I got so distracted by the dead bodies moving their arms that I missed Batman lifting Robin. Had to rewind that. Sorry I love the way Joe says Robin at the “Batman?” “Robin.” part. HUMMINGBIRD-OSTRICH-HYBRID-MURDER-BIRDS??!?! Robin tip-toeing and flapping around. I’m dead. The Penguin’s vest also has a very nice subtle pattern to it. The Penguin’s bloodcurdling scream. Amazing. I cannot handle it. “You sure got me out of a - birdcage.” The disappointment in his face at making the bad pun. “No Robin DOOOOOON’T eat those.” He stuffed it in his underwear oh my god I forgot that. “Lifelong friend.” “No...” *gasp* “Life... partner!” I forgot that part. “Buddies, bros, homies, amigos.” “Pizza.” “Nintendo.” “Woo woo woo let’s go!” I will never forget that part. Yesssss the kicks. I’VE NEVER NOTICED THE LOOK OF DISGUST ON SWEET TOOTH’S FACE WHEN EVERYONE’S GROUP HUGGING BATMAN AND ROBIN.
Ok I’ve made the executive decision to stop here for the night since it’s almost 2am and I don’t want to mess up my sleep schedule TOO much. I’ll watch Act 2 tomorrow.
OK ACT 2 TIME.
“Robin sucks!” No he doesn’t! “It’s like, don’t do that.” I think of that line pretty often. “Where’s the kid’s pants?” AN UNDERRATED LINE THAT DESERVED MORE LAUGHS. Oh hi Specs. “So say we all, Excelsior.” But Stan Lee is Marvel not DC. Also, Jim’s wearing a “I believe in Harvey Dent” shirt and I am extra confusion. That’s Two Face right? I saw all of half of Dark Knight over a decade ago, but that’s literally Two Face on Jim’s shirt. Also did Jim get that mohawk haircut for the show? It fits perfectly with the comic aesthetic. Batman’s voicemail message cutting him off as he messes up the name again. I’m DEAD. HEY SUPERMAN. I REMEMBER KRYPTO. I APPRECIATE KRYPTO. Add Krypto’s show to my limited knowledge of DC along with Teen Titans and Justice League. “And that was kind of strike 3 for Krypto” awww and the sad music. Oh my god I forgot how bad this Krypto speech is. He ran away? My childhood is ruined. “Me and... Solomon Grundy.” I forgot how sad this is. Nick Strauss’ face I can’t. I love that Robin holds Jim’s hand for so long, and then the look on Jim’s face when he finally lets go. Lauren taking off her pants oh my god.  “He has to go to the hospital so he can go to jail!” “That my tum-tum wouldn’t hurt no more.” Nico’s killing me. Pop rocks and coke oh no! Sorry. Gotta take a moment to appreciate the costumes some more. The M&M zoom in shows that Sweet Tooth has peppermints for buttons. I forgot about those. Oh my god. Genius. “Aren’t you a Smartie?” “Oh I like these!” Me too. Fave candy. “My Almond Joy Wonder.” “Oh. I don’t like these.” I used to LOVE Almond Joys. Coconut is great. Everyone else is just weak. Right as I was thinking “What does Dylan’s shirt say? Does it say Bob?” Sweet Tooth says “Gob, stop her.” AMAZING. SO AMAZING. ALL FOR A PUN.\ And the Bazooka Joe joke, which is much more subtle. Too bad they didn’t have any Bazooka gum. Candy and her INCREDIBLE dress. I will never EVER be over this costume. And the wig! SO GOOD. SOOOO GOOD. “And he’s my Sweetart.” Love. Also love her two-toned lipstick. The whiplash from the “Now or Later” “Chiclet” “Take 5″ “Dove” puns coming all at once. THE WAY JIM PICKS UP NICK. I AM STILL SO IMPRESSED. HOW DOES NICK EVEN GET DOWN BACKSTAGE FROM THAT POSITION. Candy’s shoes! And her laugh! I hope Jaime knows she has the best costume in StarKid history and that she herself is amazing. I hope June knows she made the best costume ever.
I forgot the letter from Spiderman! “I don’t have any place to... stick it.” Amazing. “I follow you on the web.” I’m dying. “That I gave an A plus.... plus plus plus plus *Kissing noises*” Adorable. Shoutout to the props again for making a ROBIN SUCKS headline. “Well when you put it that way, you can’t blame them. I mean almost everything is stupid.” “WHATTT.” “Don’t bother, I’ll have them burned.” Harsh. Oh and here we go. The one true downside to this musical. God I wish they could just cut Kwan Lee out of this completely. And it sucks that the best “Bay-Wayne/Bruce-Man/Batmannnnnn” line comes from this scene. Wait it’s New Year’s Eve? “What am I thinking? I’m such a boob!” “Who can take the sunrise, ah! And sprinkle it with BLOOD.” I love the song Candyman, so I love that little joke so much. “And Two Face.” I FORGOT ABOUT THAT. The use of Whatchamacallit is amazing. The way Jeff can go from zany saying “Do I implode your heads” to being so serious and scary for “or put a bullet in the Boy Wonder’s?” Sweet Tooth’s face as Two Face pops back in. Holy quick change Batman! Nah but seriously super quick change from Two Face back to... I’m just gonna say Alfred. I’m not gonna acknowledge his other character anymore. The boop is so cute. THE PUNCH. I DIED. I FORGOT THAT UNTIL A SECOND BEFORE. WHAT WAR? YOU KEEP MENTIONING A WAR, ALFRED. “She was a double agent, but she forgot. She didn’t know who she was working for.” Underrated joke. “I know what I have to do. Fuck Gotham, I’m saving Robin!” I forgot that that was the verdict.
I love that so many comments point out that Two Face’s second appearance is in Act 2 part 2.
Also, special shoutout to the person who said the reason Alfred is so good at disguises is because Duder’s a Spy.
The tension between Construction Guy and Pizza Girl though. “You guys better get on Twitter.” OH MY GOD. The way Batman  turns the phone sideways to type on the larger keyboard. That’s such a 2013 detail. Now the phones are so big that typing vertical is more comfortable than horizontal. But back in 2013, we had only just stopped using Sidekicks and EnVs with the horizontal keyboards. Nick Strauss’s “I DON’T KNOW” scream. Amazing. Nick Lang as Obama. I nearly forgot about that. “You got a phone call, motha-fucka.” That was literally my ring tone until like... ok I wanna say 2019 but the thing is that my phone’s always on silent, so even though it was my ringtone I rarely ever actually had the sound on to hear it. Actually it might still be my ringtone... did I ever change the settings... I assume I did for my newest phone... And I did it the old fashioned way. I recorded the audio on my phone then set it to the ringtone. Superman’s disappointment at getting a call from Obama instead of Batman. Amazing. “Any means necessary, Superman.” Wow this got dark quickly. I love Superman’s verse. Lupin can sing. I LOVE watching Nick Strauss dance in this. He really commits. It’s great. “And in America I do what I like.” Yep. Ok Sweet Tooth’s verse is my absolute favorite. And he does the same “OOOh” that he did for the Rogues are We reprise. So great. Also I love the way he tilts side to side when we have the front view camera. He looks like an actual cartoon in that moment. Love love love. The way Meredith says “We’re all just pawns in a fucking game of chess” on the recording is amazing. They’re so aggressive while singing it. I was listening to the soundtrack earlier today and it’s so great. Also something I thought of while listening to the soundtrack is that I realized I probably thought the way Jeff sang was a character choice, and now 10 years and... 6(?) musicals later I know that that’s just Jeff being Jeff. “A briefcase filled with 2 dollar bills!” Iconic. “That’s the American, not quite Canadian, most of us are Mexican!” Amazing.
The way Nick says “smithereens” is amazing. “But you can do that for free anytime you like.” Amazing. And I never noticed that Robin hands Sweet Tooth back the Good and Plenty box that he will throw at Candy. Was that purposeful or did Jeff hand it to Nick by accident and Nick slyly handed it back to him in time for the cue? “Wait Batman’s got a plane? Where’d he get a plane?” Sweet Tooth you just said you had Rogues on the roof, were they not there to be prepared for a sky attack? I guess he thought he’d climb to the roof, not land on it. “What are these little... Dots?” THE DOTS JOKE. God it love Dots. “I’LL NEVER WALK EVIL WATSON DOWN THE AISLE” JOHNLOCK IS CANON IN THE STARTKID UNIVERSE. YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST FOLKS. IT’S CANON. “Aw fudge it’s Batman.” “Run for your nine lives.” I think I missed the fudge pun originally. Also I love how the two women ended up unscathed and only the guys got injured. (Jim is nonbinary but Bazooka Joe’s a guy) That’s the second time this show that Batman has punched an innocent Meredith character. OK WAIT. Wait. Jim is the one holding Brian right? But xe JUST went offstage. Wow that’s a quick change. I guess just pulling on black sweatpants over leggings and switching out the leather coat and wig for a hoodie is easy, but still. Impressive. That was about 40 seconds. “Or should I say, Butthead?” “*ungodly high pitched screaming*” I can’t. The body rolls and hip thrusts in this song. Katie Spelman thank you for your choreography. Batman kicking Superman and then cradling his own leg while Superman is unfazed, love it. THE DUMMY. The lighting change for “how about some Kryptonite tonight” is epic. Yes Sarah Petty. She said in the Homecoming documentary that HMB had her favorite lighting and I agree. The look on Brian’s face after he gets punched but still singing “fuck you” is so amazing. Knowing that Brian got cut on the face by a Kryptonite punch at the one of the performances makes this funnier to me.
GOD that is such a good fight scene. They did Batman Vs. Superman so much better than the movie (I say as if I bothered to watch that movie). And the Kryptonite prop and the lighting?! So good.
Plus the fight choreo and just normal choreo is such fanservice. Katie Spelman knew what she was doing.
Jeff running with Robin I can’t. “I’ve never run so fast in my life.” “That vat of melted chocolate” Comedy comes in threes. Batman says “Grayson dive!” I never noticed until I read the captions just now. He learned from Robin! That’s actually so sweet. That one arm lift from Joe though. The slap fight oh my god. “OH you’re not coming any closer!” THE CRUNCH BAR. How did Batman know that it was there? “Gimme a break!” “See if the snozberries taste of snozberries.” I love that line. “I am falling into THAT vat of boiling hot chocolate.” Ok comedy comes in fives actually. Water shots! Nick’s little excited dance I can’t. For a second I forgot the Commissioner Gordon dies in the original timeline. The Construction Guy turning the hat around to become Pizza Girl’s son... the son she has with the Shop Owner... feels strange...
Wait. So was she cheating on the Shop Owner with the Construction Guy? Is her son not the Shop Owner’s but instead the illegitimate son of the Construction Guy and that’s why he’s the spitting image of him? Is Pizza Girl the Shop Owner’s wife Belinda?? Am I uncovering some deep StarKid lore?
The way they say “peeeople who belieeeve in good.” “...Spiderman’s an orphan.” Love it. “All the X-Men!” “You got x-ray vision! You can see girls’ totties whenever you want!” I mean, I sure hope not. “But those people are pretentious douchebags.” Calling out a chunk of the DC fandom I bet. That whole “Superheroes are cool! Helping people, is cool.” Speech is so heartfelt. I love it so much. StarKid really loves to have their shows be 95% comedy and then throw in emotional moments like that. Yesss Jim with the floating cape effects. Commissioner Gordon and the Cop reversing the motions of their deaths. Hamilton stole Satisfied’s rewind staging from Holy Musical B@man. HA when Brian had the prop facing the wrong way and we saw the cardboard branding. I can’t. “Well, goodbye!” “Good luck Superman!” “Hey! Captain Marvel!” Nico, Nico, Nico. I really think of him every single time Captain Marvel does anything. JAIME’S SUNGLASSES. SO CUTE. JUNE AND YOUR DETAILS.
"And thats, why they call me Superman!” Yes it is! “I just followed you home after the first day we met.” I forgot about that. And Robin taking off his mask to say “I’m Dick Grayson” is so cute. “I didn’t save Gotham. In fact I very nearly led you all to your doom.” Just a minor teeny tiny mistake. “Three cheers for Captain Marvel!” Best running joke of the show. “We’d be like a league, for justice.” Yes. “I have the perfect name. The Super Friends.” Yes good. Spidey coming out. I’m dead. “He’s agile as hell!... Help him up!”
Super Friends. Literally the most uplifting StarKid song ever. The number of times I’ve listened to it while walking, and literally danced my way down the street is limitless. I remember spending a day in Summer of 2012 learning the choreo to this dance number and I still know it. Oh muscle memory. I WANNA BE A MODERN DANCER! I literally did not fully get that “losing my guano” was meant to substitute “losing my shit” until this year. Or maybe last year. Wait no it was last year. Either way, way too long of a time to not truly get that line. I love how the caption says “[Lauren offstage] Aaaahhhaahaahahaaaah” Also I can normally sing those notes, but at Apocalyptour I had lost my voice from all the screaming, so by the time we got to this finale I tried to sing along to her “aahhs” and sounded like a dying cat without a voice. It was not my finest moment. Someone in the crowd literally turned back and looked at me. God I’m cringing. Jim flying in as Hawkman with the “YEAHH” “SURREE” just iconic. Amazing. THEM ALL COMING OUT TOGETHER FOR THE FINAL CHORUS. AMAZING. I WAS SO ELATED THE FIRST TIME. THIS IS SO GREAT. Nico as plastic man flapping his arms around! Yesss Dylan. Jaime’s little Flash pose before running to the back line. I can’t. Jeff doing some sort of running man move during every freestyle moment. And Nick Strauss’s dancing just before the button of the song. I can’t. I love that Meredith is the only one in boxers. I assume it’s because Wonder Woman’s normally in briefs already so June wanted to switch it up a little bit. I appreciate it
Ok. I might have to amend what I said in Starship, and make the decision that this is my favorite StarKid musical.
It almost hurts because for 11 years I’ve said it was Starship. But Holy Musical B@man’s music, jokes, prop comedy, set, lighting, and especially the COSTUMES... I think I might love it the most.
Nick Gage was such a good find for StarKid. I remember 10 years ago we were like “A StarKid musical that’s not written by Darren, AJ, or Carlos? Hmmm...” And yet, the music was amazing and unique compared to the other shows, and the PERFECT vibe for a comic book musical. Plus they got Nick to perform in Twisted a year later and he was SO funny, so yeah. Nick Gage needs more appreciation. And Scott Lamps for his additional music too. Watching the credits and shoutout to Lana McKinnon’s hair and make-up! Wow wait. The whole band was 3 synthesizers and a drum set? That’s crazy. Shoutout to Liam White as always.
So good. So so so good.
But honestly, I cannot get over the COSTUMES. June Saito you’re so great. Using the underwear and converse along with dance unitards as a base then building up from there, so genius. The billion strategically placed pockets in Sweet Tooth’s jacket and his WIG?! HIS COTTON CANDY WIG!? I cannot handle it. Candy’s custom wig and her tutu? Her incredible TUTU!?!?! The billion costume changes everyone else had to do were so great too.
Wait, is Denise’s jacket for Black Canary also her Pizza Girl jacket? OH MY GOD I THINK IT IS. Oh my god. And her shoes and tights are Cat Woman’s! The lore just goes deeper. Black Canary goes undercover as Cat Woman (because who would suspect the Canary is the Cat), and her real secret identity is Pizza Girl. She’s married to the Shop Owner who thinks her name is Belinda, but she’s cheating on him with the Construction Guy and has an illegitimate son! No I’m definitely not overthinking this in the slightest. It’s definitely not just that costume changes and versatile costumes are used and people play multiple characters. She’s totally playing just one person in this entire musical.
Anyway. Half the budget must have been spent on the converse and the candy.
Jeff Blim. We really had NO idea the impact he’d have on StarKid. We had no clue. We were just like “oh haha another StarKid who looks kind of like Joe Walker and Chris Allen!” but no. He was amazing. He made a huge impression with his first show. A bigger impression with his next. And now has written more StarKid shows than anyone else if I remember correctly. We had no clue what we were in for when he came onstage as Sweet Tooth. StarKid history forever changed with this casting and I am SO thankful.
Yay Holy Musical B@man. 10 years. Insane. It does not feel like 10 years ago but also it does. God I’m old. I’m older than half of the StarKids were in this show. I don’t like thinking about that.

yellow , green , blue, turquoise , onyx , fuchsia , cream , mauve ( also genshin) & plum B)))
hey hi hello >:)
green: do you have a favourite flower?
nah i dont differentiate them.. every flower is just a flower to me jkhasjkdhkj...
if the flower is purple it gets extra points tho
blue: preferred type of weather?
rain!!! thunderstorms!!! <333
turquoise: favorite sea animal?
penguins or turtles :p
onyx: do you still play Minecraft?
nope, never did
fuchsia: favorite land animal?
Tumblr media
cream: any piercings or tattoos? do you want any?
i have a helix one but it got fucked up.. so it looks weird :(
would love to fix it one day.. or maybe get rid of it completely hhh
no tattoos but i want some yes heheeheh
some longer answers will be under the cut jkahdsjkad
plum: a food you've never tried
oi.. dats like a lot of things... ;;
well I've never had anything "Chinese"/"Mexican"/idk what else people mention in a similar manner... i hear English-speaking folks refer to these.. "types" and yep never had any of that. also like.. any food chains that just don't exist in Russia? obv nope......... there is probably an insane amount of stuff I haven't tried, I'm picky and literally just eat at home 99% of the time so-
yellow: name of an artist you think is underappreciated
gonna give a dumb ass answer but... i can't...? i don't really know how much one should be "appreciated", like what is the "right amount" and whether or not this person receives it. the amount of notes/likes doesn't always represent that and also i don't look there at all.. also this one random artist can have multiple accs on different platforms with different engagements and all that... so how do i really know what's up with them? and once again i don't think i sit around thinking Damn this person needs more likes !! .. i just like/rb whatever i want and it's epic lashdjlksajdlk also i'm not sure if i have strong attachments to certain creators.. (at this point that is. i used to and some of it backfired lmao) ... the only attachments i have r ppl i'm friends with which is U Know... considered the right answer to this question and an adequate person would do just that but damn none of yall getting a free promo wtf 🙄 and i feel like mentioning one friend could lead to upsetting another or like .. i could just forget to tag someone... or I would waste time trying to figure out if it would be ok to mention them in an ask like this one and probably would decide against it anyways just not to bother anybody ....
and is getting tagged in a post saying u r underappreciated even a compliment? because i for one am not too sure about that........... much to think about uh huh
mauve: any unpopular opinions?
we entered danger zone.................... beware :з
uhhh well first of all I think childe x zhongli is like the most pathetic and boring "default" pairing this fandom came up with. they have 0 chemistry and I just hate everything about it. as much as I headcanon both as queers... together romantically it feels like 2 straight men put together by ya*i fans............ also before i blacklisted to ship and voluntarily looked through the ship tag... every post felt like a hard ooc. i could not understand what childe or zhongli are supposed to be as individuals, what they have in common, what kind of dynamic they have. deadass most crack ships with 0 interactions have more flavor than this tragedy
eng VAs are great people and appreciate their work but whoever decides the voices ain't doing it right. every male character sounds like a middle-aged white man.. and most of the youngest characters sound like very obvious adults trying to pretend to be babies. all of it irks me so bad god.. and there are so many characters that lose their little spark in eng........ (yet in korean and chinese they're completely fine??)
all of the playable adult male characters are shitty people in one way or another. none of them are good. they have reasons and different perspectives, yes, but they suck. every single one of them. stop ignoring it or trying to say only some are evil. none of them are inherently terrible.. but they're not these precious and righteous individuals. they're men.................... that says a lot, actually. :\
and as for women? god i hate the idea that they're all so uninteresting and weak. lichrally just a bunch of girlbosses, morals of most could be questioned as well... anyways some of the girls not having extremely dramatic stories doesn't make them any less cool. let them be
also all archons suck it's ok. you can still love them while acknowledging that they've done some shit. ALSO stop demonizing venti .. and now baal, while praising zhongli- he's an old loser stop lying to yourself. i hate when people present him as the only good archon, the voice of reason who is just so cool and collected but also ahh so cutely silly about mora !!!............. bitch the story quest of liyue is just one zhongli-is-a-fucking-moron campaign idk did yall skip it or something............ and even then it's ok to like him, he does have his logic/reasons/beliefs that justify his actions... he is not a good guy or archon tho.
shipping archons/adepti/whatever the fuck that isn't a basic human with a basic human is super weird. i mean the power dynamic will be completely fucked and ages? lord almighty... basically mortals should stay with mortals... the rest goes to baby jail except maybe ganyu she's a good girl
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh idk what else.................
maybe.. ahha... well.............. with how people hype up any vague new character that is leaked and declare how they will skip every banner ever for them - even tho all we know is... how the character looks like? it feels a bit too much. like truly what's the point of going crazy and then screaming at mihoyo every 3 seconds over some character that could be fake for all we know, or maybe they'll be a support you don't need, or they have a weapon you don't like to use.... can't you just wait till we get official info? jesus lawd- but regardless.......................... where is the same energy for baizhu :)
the man is literally in the game and people manage to forget him even in conversations about dendro specifically- how the fuck is that even real-

A/N: I accidentally posted the request before I finished LOL. So I don’t know much about Tsundere relationships, but I did some reading on it just before I started writing and I hope I did the request some justice! Also I’m literally Kankuros bitch <3
Ps, I’m sorry I didn’t put a keep reading thingy idk how to do it on mobile and my trash laptop is broken 😭😭
Also I didnt include tobirama bc I absolutely hated how his turned out and I had to delete it im sorry 😖
✎ Tsundere relationship! (Hidan, Kank, Naruto)
Kankurō
Ahh, where to start? I think you’ll meet on a mission co partnered with the Leaf...
You and Shikamaru are sent to assist the Sand on a mission. Now, we already know Kankurō is a bit of a sassy mf when it comes to the Leaf like I think he whole heartedly believes the Sand is superior and you also have those feelings about your own village... So there’s an instant dislike for one another. Kinda like an instant rivalry.
Literally the first thing you say to him is “So, the Sand can’t take care of their own missions?” And that sets Kankurō off, “What, how dare you- ack! Temari, that hurt! I’m not gonna let her walk all over us like that, I’ll fight you right now you Leaf Village bi- ow! Temari!” Shikamaru has to hold you back LMFAOO you’re ready to throw hands “Huh, what’s that? Sounds like you’re really determined for me to kick your ass?” He lowkey liked when you said that to him lol.
Anyways, the two of you are bickering the whole entire way to the missions destination. You’ll tease eachother about anything and everything you can. So, once you find out about his puppet master jutsu its only natural that you fall on the floor with laughter. Like full on tears and strangled breathing. Now this is something you can really tease him about.
“What! You still play with dolls? I bet you have little sleep over parties with them and do their hair-“
You’re cut off because he tries to trap you in the Ant. Temari has to strangle him and force him to let you out. You’re lucky he didn’t iron maiden your ass LMFAOO.
This is the kind of the energy you guys carry whenever you see eachother from now on. He’ll see you more often too because you carry out a lot of Leaf and Sand allied missions and duties. Rip to anyone who gets put on a mission with you two tbh.
But on one particularly hard mission it ends up down to the two of you fighting off like 10 enemies. He’s trying to focus on fighting them, but he can’t stop thinking about if you’re okay. His distractedness earns him a particularly hard blow.
You end up having to fight off the remaining enemies yourself, all the while protecting him. The last thing he remembers is you screaming his name when he gets hit and the fear that was in your eyes at seeming him like that. It slowly turns to anger and then you kick the bad guys asses. He’s like half conscious but is laying there like: whatta bad bitch. Then he passes out.
Starts to really admire you after that and his comments aren’t as snarky when he sees you next. It’s more like little jabs and teases because that’s how he shows his affection, but they were no longer the hardcore roasts he’d dish out before. You probably stop flaming his ass too because let’s be real here; you’ve both obviously been attracted to each other from the start you just didn’t want to admit it.
Like cmon, he didn’t wait for you at the gates every single time he knew you were visiting just to insult you first. No. He came there to see your cute ass first!!Same goes for you, like you didn’t take all the missions to the Sand for nothing. You came there to see your fav hot headed puppet master.
He’ll ask you out a few months later, when you end up at the Sand again. Probably takes you to dinner before going back to his place. I 100% see him showing you his puppets and this time you’ll actually show your interest and not just tease him lol. Probably ends up making out with you on his workbench. Ok that’s all.
Naruto
You meet eachother for the first time at Ichirakus. Second to Naruto, you actually bring in the most cash for the place. So it’s surprising you two had never met each other before.
Until now of course. He’s just gotten back from a long mission and he’s dying for some ramen. He strolls right in and orders a miso pork ramen, but the old man tells him there’s no more pork left.
Probably flips his shit like who tf ate it all?? Then the old man points at you. You’re sitting there chowing down you’re literal 15th bowl, the giant stack of empty bowls next to you proving it. You watch the blondie charge right at you while you eat the last miso pork bowl of ramen for the day.
You put the bowl down and wipe your face just as he stops right infront of you, very close to your face. You can see the anger in his eyes, but you are not giving up. Also, the guy looks sorta comical so you basically laugh in his face which gets him more worked up.
“What are you laughing about? You just ate all of old mans pork for the day!! That last bowl is mine, believe it!” Once again you laugh in his face because you just can’t help yourself. Probably end up fist fighting eachother on the spot. Neither of you win because one of you ends up smashing into the bowl, sending it flying right at the old man. He kicks you both out, right after you pay your tab of course.
This arises a competition of who will eat all the miso pork ramen first, it goes on for a good few months. Ichirakus is swimming in your money now. Until one day, when you two arrive at Ichirakus at the same time. You basically have a show down. Unfortunately both your wallets are cleaned out and you can’t even pay off your bills anymore so you’re now indebted to the ramen place.
Narutos mission money won’t even cut it anymore and you can’t pay your debt off either. So you both have to get a job doing Ichirakus dishes until you can pay your debt off.
At first you two wanna strangle each other everytime youre in each others line of sight. But slowly — veryyyy slowly, you start to bond over your love for ramen. Like you can probably sniff the bowls before you clean them and tell instantly what ramen was eaten out of it.
You discover you both have the same favourite instant ramen, the same favourite Ichirakus order, etc... Then before you know it you actually start dating. Nobody knows how it happened because you were rivals for a good couple of months, but now all the sudden your holding hands while and eating ramen together peacefully. Mind blown.
Hidan
You’re a brand new Akatsuki member and you’re cute. Really cute. Not only was Deidara drooling over you too, Kakuzu just asked to file your taxes. Do you even do taxes? You’re a rouge ninja. Anyways, Hidan is so sure that Jashin would love to have you.
You two start taking to eachother and actually getting along pretty well, until he mentions Jashin. You shut him down so quickly after that. Like you’re not interested in his fake God, no matter how cute he is.
From then on he tries to ignore you or is just super petty towards you all the time. Like you just got back from a failed mission with your Akatsuki partner and he’s at the hideout mocking you like “if you prayed to Jashin with me this wouldn’t have happened.”
Literally so fucking petty.
Anytime you suggest an idea to the Akatsuki he immediately tears it down. It doesn’t really matter when he does though because nobody really listens to Hidan anyways, it’s just annoying.
You two get put on a mission together one day because Kakuzu has some important money buisness to take care of. Hidans so pissy about it, “oh come on! Out of everybody you picked y/n? She doesn’t even respect my religion, how are we supposed to work together!?” Kakuzu just looks at him and is like “Hidan, I don’t care about Jashin either.”
Butthurt the whole journey. If you guys get bombarded or run into trouble he probably doesn’t even bother backing you up. If anything he tries to feed you to them LMFAOOO. Such a jerk.
Then, once he thinks that all the bad guys are gone he turns to you all confidently because you got your ass whooped and he’s like “see, I bet if you prayed to Jashin you wouldn’t be injured this bad-“
An enemy just stabbed him right through the chest and he watches the look of shock on your face. That’s when he gets an idea. He falls on the floor super fucking dramatically and you have to take the last guy down for him.
Then you kneel next to him and cradle his body because yes he was such a petty bitch but he actually started to grow on you. So you cry and in this distressed moment you probably even attempted to pray to Jashin because you’re desperate as fuck.
This bitch really makes his eyes flutter open and is like; “y/n?” Really fucking plays off that he was unconscious, “Jashin... Jashin saved me.”
Your ass just got clowned but I mean you believe it because like he just got stabbed right through the heart. Even immortal people should die if they were stabbed in the heart, right? It seemed like it was the case.
So yah he basically just emotionally manipulated you into being semi interested in his religion.
Then he stops being petty with you and probably asks you to sleep with him as an offering to Jashin. “It’s only fitting! He just saved my life afterall.”
Literal definition of a sleeze bag <3

Sally McKenna Playlist
Tumblr media
Masterlist
I listen to this playlist so much it’s just ahh. As of the time I’m writing this, this bad boy is almost exactly 3 and a half hours long
Occasional little blurbs under the songs that are... interesting
Playlist link
“R U Mine?” by Arctic Monkeys
I go crazy 'cause here isn't where I wanna be And satisfaction feels like a distant memory And I can't help myself, all I Wanna hear her say is "Are you mine?" Well, are you mine?
How could I not put some Arctic Monkeys for Sally. They scream Sally vibes.
“The Cult of Dionysus” by The Orion Experience
I'm feeling devious You're looking glamorous Let's get mischievous And polyamorous Wine and women and wonderful vices Welcome to the cult of Dionysus
At first this song might seem a little weird, but it is quite the banger once you get into it
“I Miss Having Sex But At Least I Don’t Want To Die” by Waterparks
I miss having sex but at least I don't wanna die anymore And I think that's pretty cool I miss seeing the red on your face when I made you blush, hey But I think it's fine, it's cool
This song is such a mood I can’t even. 
“summer depression” by girl in red
Pretty face with pretty bad dreams No one knows i cry in my sleep Waking up feeling like shit It's a normal thing to feel like this
I don't care I'm feeling down I wanna stay home Never go outside Summer depression comes every year I just want to disappear
Do you listen to girl in red because I sure do
“OK” by Wallows
I'm getting too close You say you love me most It's hard to trust it even though I want to Need to get this shit out of my head Before I flip this on myself instead
I’m in an unofficial girl band called Sugar Tits and this is one of the songs we’re going to cover. I feel like Sally would appreciate this.
“505″ by Arctic Monkeys
I'm going back to 505 If it's a seven hour flight or a forty-five minute drive In my imagination you're waiting, lying on your side With your hands between your thighs
Stop and wait a sec Oh, when you look at me like that, my darling What did you expect? I probably still adore you with your hands around my neck Or I did last time I checked
This song SCREAMS Sally and I stand by that
“Gold Dust Woman - 2004 Remaster” by Fleetwood Mac
Did she make you cry Make you break down Shatter your illusions of love And is it over now do you know how Pick up the pieces and go home.
I can’t not put a Fleetwood Mac song
“Dontmakemefallinlove” by Cuco
I don't think I'm meant to be with you I don't wanna make you sad All the time just feeling bad Girl, don't make me fall in love with you I don't think I'm right for you I'm just disappointing you
Angsty Sally not feeling good enough
“Prom Queen” by Beach Bunny
Teach me how to be okay I don't want to downplay my emotions They say beauty is pain You'll only be happy If you look a certain way
Sally vibes, man
“3 Nights” by Dominic Fike
Three nights at the motel Under streetlights In the city of palms Call me what you want, when you want, if you want And you can call me names if you call me up
Hotel Cortez love affair with our girl Sally
“Marlboro Nights” by Lonely God
I don't wanna go to school tomorrow I can't study Thinking about you And you know I always do I don't wanna go to sleep tonight when I can stay up Thinking about you And you know I always do
This is teen Sally and it is not up for debate
“Paper Thin Hotel” by Matt Maltese
I listened to your kisses at the door I never heard the world so clear before You ran your bath and you began to sing I felt so good I couldn't feel a thing I stood there with my ear against the wall I was not seized by jealousy at all In fact a burden lifted from my soul I learned that love was out of my control
A lot of these songs I have cried to and thinking about angsty Sally makes it even harder not to cry. Picture poor Sally being trapped in the Cortez and having to witness someone she love be with another person. How can you not be sad thinking about that?
“Lonely Eyes” by The Front Bottoms
You've got me stuck to where I'm sittin' Lookin' at your eyes And I know I'm so pathetic I wouldn't move to save my life And they tell me that you're lonely It's no surprise When you walk around all day wearing those Lonely, lonely, lonely eyes
Lonely bb
“me & ur ghost” by blackbear
I'm not alone It's just me and your ghost And this cripplin' depression I thought I learned my lesson But, I threw out my phone And I burned all your clothes And now I'm not alone It's just me and your ghost
You could take this literally or metaphorically. I’d argue that it works either way.
“Cigarettes On Patios” by BabyJake
I was smoking cigarettes on patios I was throwing money in the air Maybe I should pick that shit back up Bet my night on love Here we go again
This song is extremely repetitive, but the vibe fits.
“Sex n’ Drugs” by Abhi The Nomad
Born faceless Please save me My soul's tainted It's how I've been born I've worn patience Please save me I'm more tasteful than ever before
Sally’s theme song and overall lifestyle
“Foreplay” by Jalen Santoy
First they tell you that they love you Then they ask where you coming from Like you the only one feeling how you feeling Then you lie just to make it sound appealing
I love you The things that cross my mind while I'm by myself I hate you These things go through my mind while I'm by myself I fuck you These things run through my mind while I'm by myself Well fuck you It's always on my mind, think I need some help
Find me vibin’ to this. Sally dealing with fake ass bitches.
“hot girl bummer” by blackbear
Fuck you, and you, and you I hate your friends and they hate me too I'm through, I'm through, I'm through This that hot girl bummer anthem Turn it up and throw a tantrum

“1 SIDED LOVE” by blackbear
You're too busy talking over me to hear what I'm saying You're too high to realize I see Through the smile that you're faking You're so into yourself Everyone else is overrated And everything's changing Is your heart worth breaking?
I could cry to this. Actually now that I think about it, I have cried to this and Sally would too.
“Easier” by 5 Seconds of Summer
Is it easier to stay? Is it easier to go? I don't wanna know, oh But I know that I'm never, ever gonna change And you know you don't want it any other way
An angry vibe
“Wrong” by Ally Hills
I can't keep on living with a delicate mind If I make a coffee, can we act like we're fine? When we were tangled in the sheets And waking up in our bed 'Cause now you strangle me in my sleep And I wake up with you in my head
Oh oh Oh oh I thought you loved me
A sad post break up vibe
“Space” by Ally Hills
You don't even care that my clothes aren't there. You needed the hanger space. You don't even mind 'cause you don't waste time Filling in all the blanks.
I wish you were sad for a day so you would know how it tastes to be lonely I wish you would stay in for a night to see what it's like fading slowly
Another sad post break up vibe
“Liability” by Lorde
Baby really hurt me Crying in the taxi He don't wanna know me Says he made the big mistake of dancing in my storm Says it was poison So I guess I'll go home Into the arms of the girl that I love The only love I haven't screwed up She's so hard to please But she's a forest fire
Ok, but try to listen to this song while sad and not cry??? I could cry to this even if I’m not sad. It just comes on and I’m like “yeah bitch I am a liability.”
“All Girls Are The Same” by Juice WRLD
Ten minutes, she tell me it would take ten minutes To break my heart, oh no she didn't Fuck livin', I'ma drown in my sorrow Fuck givin', I'ma take not borrow And I'm still sinnin', I'm still losin' my mind I know I been trippin', I'm still wasting my time All the time given, am I dyin?

Heartbroken gal
“The Louvre” by Lorde
I am your sweetheart psychopathic crush Drink up your movements, still I can't get enough I overthink your p-punctuation use Not my fault, just a thing that my mind do

CRASHING INTO LOVE WITH RECKLESS SALLY
“Writer In The Dark” by Lorde
Break the news, you're walking out To be a good man for someone else Sorry, I was never good like you Stood on my chest and kept me down Hated hearing my name on the lips of a crowd Did my best to exist just for you
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
Angsty song writer Sally
“Sims” by Lauv
I wish that you and I lived in the Sims We could build a house and plant some flowers and have kids But we're both at some trashy Halloween party downtown And I'll probably never see you again I wish that we lived on a VHS I'd erase the things I said and that I'll probably say again Hit rewind on all the times I got lost in my head But I guess I'll never see you again I'll probably never see you again
Ok hang with me for a second here. Sally leaving the Cortez in her one night of freedom. She meets someone at a Halloween party and they hit it off, but she doesn’t think to get her contact information or anything, so she spends the next year thinking of seeing the mysterious girl again.
“Everybody Talks” by Neon Trees
It started with a whisper And that was when I kissed her And then she made my lips hurt I could hear the chit chat Take me to your love shack Mamas always gotta back track When everybody talks back
Sally can take me to her love shack anytime
“prom dress” by mxmtoon
I can't help the fact I like to be alone It might sound kinda sad, but that's just what I seem to know I tend to handle things usually by myself And I can't ever seem to try and ask for help
I'm sitting here, crying in my prom dress I'd be the prom queen if crying was a contest
The last line screams teenage Sally, but also Sally now too?
“i hope your whole life sux” by blackbear
The truth yeah, is I've been up for days on cocaine The truth is I've been up for days tryin' not to think about you I hope that I'm the reason that you can't sleep I hope that your whole life sucks without me The truth is I've been up for days thinkin' 'bout you

Spicy Sally

This song is me, but also Sally. 
“hell is where i dreamt of u and woke up alone” by blackbear
I'm in need of moderation Nah, I need a fucking break 'Cause I just railed down enough lines tonight To spell your first and last name

V I B E S
“Lonely Times” by Hot Flash Heat Wave
Lemme tell ya a little story fresh out of my dormitory I didn't know where things were going City lights felt like drowning in the ocean Late nights lying in my bed with all these thoughts swimming through my head Lonely times drifting in my dreams, I feel alright when I'm drifting, I’m drifting

Sally falls HARD

“Chicken Tenders” by Dominic Fike
We settled but it never felt right 'cause we can't keep still And we try to fight the way everything feels When we step out of line I met your gaze and it was love that we were makin' And she spoke a different language There was no need for translation And I ordered chicken fingers to my room, girl But we got some things to do first
This song is something that’s for sure
“no friends” by mazie
I don't have no fucking friends Don't have fun, I don't break hearts I don't have no fucking friends
If less is more then I'm doing the most I'm so bored, and I feel like a ghost I don't wanna smoke no more 'cause I'm broke And my window won't open God, my life is a joke
Sally is lonely and needs love

Underworld part 3
PG13 of Nero’s adventure in DMC Undertale
***
They were travelling along the bridge for awhile, Griffon flying up above him, and everything was going perfectly fine. Then out of nowhere he was hit with a gust of cold wind.
“Shit it’s cold!” Nero exclaimed, wrapping his arms around himself to cover his bared skin. His mutant arm thankfully wasn’t affected but the rest of him sure was.
Griffon, flying in circles above him, decided to start up his commentary. “Hey what’s the hold up? You chickening out already?”
“What? No!” Nero retorted instantly, then immediately backtracked. “Well, I mean...can you fly back and grab me a jacket or something?”
“What?” Griffon stopped mid air, his wings spread wide. “I don’t mean to burst your bubble but V’s gonna lock that door up tight now that you’re out and about so the only way for you to go is forwards from here.”
Ah crap. So this wasn’t a great way for him to prove that he could survive on his own the instant he left V’s care. And he didn’t even have the option to walk back with his tail between his legs either. “Well, I didn’t think I needed to be dressed for crazy weather when I left and it’s not like V warned me about this!” he said obstinately.
“Oi, yeesh aren’t you a whiner.”
“Are you going to help or not?” Nero retorted.
“Alright, alright. Tell you what. I’ll go on ahead and see what I can find for ya. Hold tight and try not to freeze your buns off. And don’t run into any trouble along the way!”Griffon flew off ahead, quickly turning into a spec in the distance.
Nero watched him go. He waffled about waiting around here so Griffon could easily find him. But what was the point of doing that? He was on a bridge; it wasn’t like he was going to get lost when he was the only thing around for miles.
He kept marching forward, rubbing his arms as much as he could to keep himself warm as air got progressively colder. He hoped he could find shelter or something soon.
He eventually made it to the end of the bridge and figured out the reason the air was so cold: he was staring at a frozen wasteland. There were towering jagged walls of ice reaching up to the sky creating a rudimentary path of some sort past the bridge. The ground was covered with a light dusting of snow, doable in his shoes so that was one less thing to worry about.
Griffon hadn’t come back yet and he was still here freezing his ass off. And it didn’t seem like he was going to have a fun time going forward either.
He sighed out a puff of condensed air.
Well, he was probably going to freeze to death. But damn if he wasn’t going to try his best to make it as far as he could.
He walked past the towering posts of the bridge, his footsteps crunching along the snow. He kept looking around, hoping he’d find somewhere he could stop and warm up. The trees frozen into place were a bust and everywhere he looked was ice, ice and more ice.
He contemplated the snowy ground. Igloos were a thing. Maybe if he used his mutant hand to scoop up the snow he could pile up enough of it to make a fort to huddle under for awhile. He looked up, assessing his options only to stop in shock.
Or he could hide under a desk.
He made a face. Of all the things he could have come across, why was there a desk sitting in the middle of a snowfield? It even had a chair tucked in.
“Hey,” whispered a voice in his ear.
Nero shrieked in fright. He jumped around and nearly flailed his arms in a panic, only to stop as it just exposed him to the cold more. There was another guy, a human, behind him. Another human with hair as white as his and V’s and blue eyes, dressed in a long red coat, black chaps and cowboy boots. And belts; so many belts. There were belts where they didn’t need to be belts. Why was he wearing so many belts?
The belt enthusiast put his hands on his hips and smirked at Nero. “Heh heh heh. That never gets old.”
“What the hell,” Nero wheezed out, trying to calm his racing heart.
“What’s the matter kid, not used to being snuck up on? Say,” he drew out, leaning forward into Nero’s face with his hand on his chin. Nero leaned back as far as he could without giving the other guy any ground. “You don’t happen to be a human, do you?”
“Yeah...?” Nero said, apprehensive.
“Well, well, well...” Nero raised his eyebrow in return as the guy took a lengthy pause, staring intently into Nero’s eyes and making him very uncomfortable. “You know, human blood is a prime delicacy down here,” he whispered menacingly.
Nero felt a chill down his spine.
“A-aren’t you a human, too?” Nero stuttered, trying to subtly lean backwards even more. He was silently despairing over not being able to seek shelter under the desk as it seemed like he was going to have to make a run for it.
“Ehh.” The guy in red finally leaned back. “Well, you’re half right. But, I’ve earned my keep down here. Got a respectable job and everything.” He put his hands behind his back and took a few steps to Nero’s right. Nero stepped back so he could keep up with him. “I’m supposed to be keeping a look out for strange things. You know,” he paused deliberately, leaning into Nero’s face again, “Demons, humans, socks –”
‘Socks? What?’ Nero made a face.
“ –those kinds of stuff. Got to capture anything suspicious and deal with them, if you know what I mean.” He raised his eyebrows meaningfully, flicking his eyes up and down Nero’s body. Nero shivered, both from being creeped out and the never-ending cold.
He backed off suddenly and gave an exaggerated shrug with both hands in the air. “Buuut, I don’t really care about dealing with all that right now. Too much work, you know?” He wandered over to the desk and took a slouching seat in the chair, stomping his boots one by one onto the desk and picking up a magazine from somewhere to flip through it. “So why don’t you just run along back to where you came from if you want to keep breathing.” He waved Nero off dismissively.
If only he could. “I-I can’t just leave! I need to get out of this place and get back home.”
The guy was still flipping though his magazine. “Kid, there’s only one guaranteed way out and that’s a no go,” he said distractedly. He stopped, squinting up at Nero skeptically. “But hey, how did you get down here, anyway?”
Nero threw his head back in frustration. “I-I don’t know. I just woke up here, and there was this murder hell plant and this skinny guy who really likes poems. He said if I just follow the path I’d find my way out of here.”
The man lifted his eyebrows. “You don’t say?” he muttered. “Well, he’s not wrong, but it’s a little more complicated than that. Buy hey, who am I to stand in the way of your progress. Be my guest.” He waved a hand to the path forward, giving his blessing for Nero to continue on unhindered.
Nero looked between him and the wide open way forward. “Seriously? Ok then.”
He bid a mental goodbye to the desk and started to walk forward, hoping he could find something better, before he stopped again. In the distance, the sound of deep, clanging thumps were approaching.
He furrowed his brow. What was that noise?
The guy at the desk started to laugh, still focused on his magazine. “Oh, kiddo, it’s your unlucky day. I may not feel up to reaping you but that right there,” he pointed casually, “Is the sound of an unstoppable, merciless killing machine programmed to seek out human blood and drain it for every. Last Drop.” Nero felt his eyes widen in dread. “And it`s coming our way.” He looked up and gave Nero a dark smile. “I’d hide if I were you.”
“What?” Hide? Hide where? That was his whole problem in the first place! He turned to appeal to his fellow human. “Then why aren’t you trying to hide, aren’t you human too?”
“Ahh, don’t worry about me kid. He won’t bother me. I’ve got immunity.” He gave Nero a dark smile, hair falling over his face and looking up at him with a single uncovered eye beneath his eyelashes. “But you don’t.”
Oh, wasn’t that just wonderful to hear. Nero panicked, looking around himself in a circle to check his options. But, of course, the best place was hiding underneath the guy’s desk, assuming if he’d be willing not to rat him out in the process. His other choices were between making a run for it across the bridge and most likely freezing to death if Griffon never came back with anything, or speed up his demise by getting his blood drained. Oh goodie.
The man was watching him panic with a grin, Nero unable to decide which way he wanted to die and just standing in place and alternating back and forth between each of his legs to stand on.
The stomping was getting closer.
“Running out of time kid. Come on, quick, I’ll let you hide under the desk. Pretty convenient, huh?” He knocked on his desk.
Despite the amazing offer Nero was very desperate to take just to warm up at least, Nero couldn’t help but think it was a trap. The guy was a guard of sorts and he couldn’t help but think he was edging him on like a cat against a mouse with minimal effort required. He’d corner the poor defenceless human in the dumbest place ever and laugh at his pitiful screams as he gets pulled back out. Like, it’d be the most obvious place to look.
The guy seemed to know what he was thinking. “Don’t worry, he won’t bother checking out my desk.  Unless you’d rather I stand back up so you can hide behind my fabulous self instead?” He gestured to his entire body.
Nero gave him a look. Yeah, sure. Like hiding in that guy’s literal shadow was an improvement. All he had to do was step to the side without warning and there’d be Nero.
He waved him over. “Just get over here already will ya?”
Nero looked back toward the approaching stomping one last time before he ran over and crawled his way under the desk. There was plenty of room to fit, thankfully. He huddled into a ball and shivered for warmth, blowing on his exposed left hand that he was forced to touch the snow with as he crawled inside to try and warm it up.
Then the guy dropped a heavy piece of cloth on his head, making Nero let out a little cry of surprise. It smelled, of all things, like pizza.
“Here, kid you’re making me feel cold just lookin’ at ya. Wrap yourself up in this, k?”
Wow, maybe he wasn’t so bad after all. He dug himself out of the cloth, revealing that it was a long red leather coat. He looked up at the guy to check but he was still wearing his own red coat. He just apparently had another one conveniently laying around for some reason, not that Nero was complaining. He let out a little gasp of joy, looking up at the other man gratefully. “Thanks,” he breathed out, quickly putting it on and snuggling into it. It was large enough that the sleeves draped over his hands and the tail end could cover up his legs and he couldn’t be any more happier about that.
The stomping had finally come close enough, stopping right by the desk. Nero peeked up at his saviour’s smiling face, trying to gauge how the situation was going to go down based on his expressions.
“Sup bro.”
Wait, what?
Nero jerked his head up in surprise, giving the man an incredulous look. What the hell did he mean by brother? He thought he was hiding from a death machine, not another person. Was it just a false alarm?
His minor jostling was apparently too much and the man pre-emptively put a hand over his head and shoved him back down.
Or maybe not.
“Hey, I’m working,” the man continued on nonchalantly, despite the significant lack of response from the mysterious brother. “I just patrolled, can’t you see my footsteps in the snow over there?”
Footsteps? Wait –but those were Nero’s. And the other guy’s. Plus, there were two sets leading over to the desk. There was no way his brother didn’t know he was here.
“And now I just thought I’d chill at my desk for a bit. It’s pretty nice, huh?” He knocked on the surface of the desk. “Hey, you wanna switch places with me? Take a load off?”
Nero looked up at him with wide eyes, wondering if he was serious. Was this all just an elaborate trap after all? He was getting whiplash trying to figure him out. Just in case, he tensed up, preparing himself to run.
The mysterious brother let out a loud huff and stomped his foot, the armor clanging loudly. He followed that up with a heavy slam onto the surface of the desk, scaring the shit out of Nero. He stopped himself from crying out in surprise and put his hands over his mouth.
“Yeah yeah, I hear ya. But...I’m just saying.” He knocked on the desk again. “Don’t knock it ‘til ya try it.”
He looked right down at Nero with a secretive smile as he said it, who returned his look with an angry one, silently expressing how he didn’t appreciate the guy’s way of courting danger.
“Ok suit yourself,” he carried on. “Don’t let your joints freeze up in the snow, bro!”
There was a huff in response.
The guy held up his hands placatingly. “I kid, I kid,” he laughed.
The resounding footsteps began stomping away from them. The man waited patiently as they left, then leaned forward and held out a pleading hand to try and stop his brother from leaving. “Wait, wait, wait, I’ve got another one!” he called out.
All he got in return was an exasperated roaring groan.
They waited for a moment, the footsteps echoing away into the distance before the guy looked down at Nero with a big grin. “Ok, all clear.
Nero crawled out, standing up to swipe off the snow from the coat before he felt he could speak. “What the hell was that?” he said calmly.
“What was what?” the man responded back, just as calmly.
Oh that troll. “That,” Nero stated, gesturing down the path he had marched off into. “Your brother? I thought you said that was a mindless killing machine coming after me!”
“Well, he is.” He paused to rub his chin. “When he needs to be anyway.” He reached out to drag Nero down with an arm over his shoulder. “Here’s the thing kid,” he whispered conspiratorially. “Something’s got him all riled up lately. It’s why he’s been riding my ass about patrolling. Apparently something important is coming around and things have gotta be just right or he loses his shit.” He gave Nero a significant look. “And you...you look pretty important to me. Seeing you might just make his day.”
“Welp.” He let go of Nero abruptly, causing Nero to stumble and try to regain his balance. He stretched his arms up over his head. “Better get back to work before he gets on my ass again. You should get going, too. Don’t worry, it’s just a frozen wasteland filled with horrible monsters.” He waved in the air dismissively.
‘What?’ Nero felt stunned, doing a double take.
“Just the usual. There’s nothing to be afraid of.” He finally got up from his chair, tucking his magazine away. “Besides, if you stay here he might come back. And if he does...” he trailed of meaningfully, tilting his head back to have his hair fall over his face, looking at Nero with a single eye.
He suddenly smiled, patting Nero hard on the back. “Welp. Ciao, kid.”
Nero frowned at the unfamiliar goodbye but shrugged it off.
The guy started to walk off toward the bridge Nero had come from. Nero watched him gradually disappear, tucking the coat up around him absentmindedly before it occurred to him that the guy didn’t ask for it back.
Huh. He felt a little bad about just walking off with it but he really did need it to stay warm in this place. If he ever did see him again he’d try and thank him properly for letting him borrow it for so long.
 ***
 Nero was trudging along in the snow until he came across a patch of deeper fog off to his left. He wouldn’t have paid it any mind until he heard giggling coming from that direction. He squinted into the fog, seeing multiple red and blue glowing somethings floating around. He wondered if whatever was hiding in there was something for him to worry about.
He didn’t have to wait that long to figure it out when suddenly the some of the glows came out of the fog to reveal themselves.
And what a reveal it was. A pair of blue creatures were dancing on the ice. Their hair was made up of a long mess of tentacle like tresses that floated in the air and they were beckoning him to come closer, giggling all the while they caressed their...unclothed feminine forms.
Nero froze up, blushing hard.
The creatures kept giggling, dancing even more provocatively to him.
Nero awkwardly rubbed his nose and hunched his shoulders, speed walking away.
Yeah....reeling that in would be a bad idea. He was just going to pass right on by and keep going.
 ***
 Eventually, finally, Griffon returned.
He circled above him excitedly, rambling all the while. “Hey hey, there you are! And it looks like you’ve already found something warm to snuggle in. Good for you, Superstar! But guess what? Your day’s about to get even better! Surprise!”
Griffon dive bombed down toward him and dropped something at his face as he flew on by. That something, Nero discovered as he yelped and flailed to protect said face, was a glove. A fingerless leather glove with a clean slice on the palm.
“What? What am I supposed to do with this?” he retorted. He sent Griffon out to find something warm to huddle in, not a ripped tiny glove that would only fit his left hand.
“Well, I looked, but everywhere was fresh out of baby blankies or stylish coats for you to walk down the runway in. But look how tough you look! Now you can scare off any of the nasties who wanna take you on!”
Yes, he could now angrily shake his fist at anyone. Like the useless bird who definitely wouldn’t have saved him from freezing to death.
He stormed off, not wanting to be around Griffon despite him hovering around his face.
Now he really had to thank the man in red for saving him with his coat, no matter how much of a troll he was.
Then he stopped dead once he realized he could see said man in red standing next to a giant armored monstrosity that Nero was thinking was probably the aforementioned mindless killer brother. But holy shit was he huge. He thought the man in red was pretty tall, but like normal tall. But this guy easily dwarfed him. The smaller brother reached up to somewhere at chest height at most from what Nero could tell from standing that far away. The big guy was turned away and a heavy cape prevented Nero from getting a good look at him but he was able to make out knee-high black boots with some wicked looking knee guard spikes and the back of his helmet adorned with front facing dual horns.
But...the guy in red. Just how did he get over there? Nero watched him go in the complete opposite direction? Was there a shortcut or something Nero missed in his rush after he got off the bridge?
Either way, it looked like they didn’t notice him yet. Maybe if he was quiet enough he could sneak back and hide somewhere until he got out of sight of the bigger brother.
He took a step back.
And of course, that was when he just had to trip over a rock.
Nero flailed, trying to stop himself from failing, quickly realizing that no, he wasn’t going to be able to save himself, and reached out to Griffon as a last resort to rebalance himself.
Griffon let out a loud squawk. “Hey watch the tail feathers!” he cried, as Nero’s momentum brought him down to the ground with him by the aforementioned tail feathers.
It was the calm before the storm.
Nero waited with baited breath, instinct freezing him up. Some part of him was hoping if he didn’t move then they wouldn’t notice him. He waited to see what would happen next.
The brothers noticed him, obviously. The armored one whirled to face Nero, showing off his blank armored face and bulky body with glowing yellow eyes that lit up even brighter at his shock. He started to look back and forth between Nero and his brother as if to say: Bro is this real? I am seeing this, right?
To complement his brother’s disbelief, the man in red slowly raised his eyebrows and widened his eyes, nodding and humming exaggeratingly to convey his absolute surprise.
The armored guy finally pointed to Nero while looking at his brother.
The man in red rocked back on his heels, placing his hands in his pockets. “Yeah, sure is neat seeing a talking chicken.”
Griffon who had blissfully stayed silent this whole time to groom his poor, tortured tail feathers with his neck bent fully backwards, quickly swiveled his head around and squawked in outrage. “Who’re you calling a chicken!”
Everyone ignored him.
The armored brother threw his head back and let out a loud huff. He jabbed his finger at Nero again while looking at his brother.
“Ohhh, you mean that other thing.” The man paused for a second to process. “Yeah, it’s probably nothing,” he said dismissively, shrugging.
The armored guy lunged to his brother with a grunt, grabbing onto his coat and giving it a few shakes as he pointed, yet again, at Nero.
The man in red looked down at his chest then at Nero still sitting frozen on the ice in his borrowed coat. His face lit up in slow surprise again. “Oh, would you look at that! He’s got a coat just like mine.” He leaned in close to his brother and nudged him with his shoulder. “See, toldya red is cooler. You owe me five halos,” he grinned, poking his brother’s armored chest.
His brother let out a frustrated huff, swiping away his smaller brother’s finger. He then erupted into more wild gestures and heavily pointed at Nero with emphatic jabs.
“Oh, right, right. I gotcha bro,” he said with a wink.
The man in red stepped forward purposefully, clapping twice on each side of his body like a showman. “Ladies and gentleman! Hear ye, hear ye! May I introduce to you the most popular figure in the entire Underworld.” He walked around in a wide circle with his arms spread out. “The one deserving of such respect and recognition while having the guts and honor of upholding law and order.” He held up his hands one at a time and alternately clenched them into fists as he spoke. “The one who is so admired as a role model that people flock from all around just for the chance to be his friend and shower him with such affection that he could practically bathe in it!” He spread his fingers out in front of his face and moved them as if he were fanning himself.
As he was caught up in his speech, his brother was progressively standing up straighter, puffing out his chest and holding his head up high as the praise went on and on.
“May I present,” and here he paused, turning behind him with an arm splayed out toward his brother –
–only to continue to spin back around to face Nero, bringing his hands up to his lapels and quickly drawing them down to brush back his coattails.
“Me! Dante!”
With that he threw his arms up in the air in a dramatic pose then twirled his hands with a flourish as he bowed.
There was a moment of silence.
“And that’s my brother Nelo Angelo,” he added absentmindedly, jerking a thumb over his shoulder while he was still in a bow.
Nelo Angelo, who appeared to be stunned into silence after being trolled by his brother, threw up his hands in the air and let out what seemed to be a healthy, stress relieving wail.
‘Well, he’s got a great set up lungs,’ Nero thought, cringing as he covered his ears.
His next move was to summon a giant black sword out of literal thin air and plunge it angrily down into the ice, just because he could, and spreading his arms out in supplication. He made to stomp past Dante toward Nero, who tensed up in fear at having a literal giant eager to kill him and drain his blood tower over him, especially when he was still lying on the ground and so appeared even bigger to him. But Dante stuck his hand out to block him. Nelo Angelo did stop, but he glared at Dante questioningly.
“Aw, don’t be like that bro. Where’d the fun be if you just capture him right off the bat? How ‘bout you let him run around here and figure things out. Let him test himself.” He side eyed Nero, leaning in to speak quietly, even though his brother’s head was way above him and Nero could still hear him clearly. “You can let him try out your puzzles?” he said enticingly.
Nelo Angelo stopped to consider that, hand on his chin, then nodded with an emphatic grunt of approval. He turned back and plucked his sword out, then gestured to Nero with a challenging tilt of his chin, taunting him with a one-handed ‘come on’. That done, he dissipated his giant magic sword and swept his cape to the side dramatically, storming off with his clanking footsteps.
And Nero was left with Dante.
“Well, that went well. Don’t sweat it kid, I’ll keep an eye out for you.” Dante gave him a wink and a salute, sauntering off after his brother.
Nero was...confused. And alive. Definitely still alive. At least for now.
But man did Dante like playing with his food, dangling him in front of his brother like that while simultaneously lulling him into a false sense of security all just so he could serve him up on a platter later.
Maybe he could just sneak past them if he found them again. Properly this time.

A/N
Also known as how many UT characters or specific traits can I fit in the least amount of DMC characters?
1) Well well, welly well well. Here we introduce Mettaton-Sans in Dante form. Always with a smile on his face. Winking at you in his own secret mood detector way if you know his tells. Probably going to kill you where you stand at some point while simultaneously trolling you throughout the underground. You can just never tell with him. At least he’s fabulous. I chose the DMC4 outfit cause it’s my favorite.
2) Also introducing Mettaton-Papyrus-Undyne in Nelo Angelo form. Yes, I know Nelly can technically talk but I thought it’d be funnier to keep him like this and just have him flail his arms around to try and get his point across. Like, you know, a constantly screaming Papyrus but nonverbally. Also very convenient about the size diff btw the bros when they’re like this -it matches up with actual Sans and Pap’s heights perfectly.
3) What a convenient desk.
4) Nero has been given a coat that makes him look and smell like the pizza loving Dante. Remember this.
5) Just another FYI. The twins grew up with an...’americanized-italian’ background.I’ve exchanged Dante’s cowboyish adios with ciao.
6) Fishing for phone numbers. You decide not to call.
7) New weapon introduction: one tough glove. I thought about just keeping it as a regular thing and not pink or anything but then I thought....should I use the left glove? Eh, yeah sure why not.

Caught In Between 13. Successes
Tumblr media
Summary: Athena Dumont has finally found a place to call home after many years of foster homes and traveling. She had finally tamed her supernatural side and just wanted to live a normal teenage life. She quickly discovers that there is nothing normal about her hometown, Mystic Falls and gets sucked right back into the supernatural world.

The next morning we arrive in Mystic Falls. We spend the day just hanging about and keeping an eye on what everyone was up to. It pained me that I couldn’t warn them or at least say hi to them. I was at least happy that Klaus didn’t make me do his bidding and spy on them for him.
Once nightfall came Klaus had taken the truck to the back of the school and had his sister, Stefan and I wait for whatever he had planned. I sat waiting impatiently for Stefan to wake up as Rebekah starred out the back.
“So, I’m curious. How did you get involved with my brother’s and what is this promise that was mentioned?” Rebekah asks not moving a muscle.
“You Mikaelson’s just don’t give up huh. I met your brother’s a few years back after triggering my curse. I stayed for a while until I needed to start over which clearly didn’t work out. As for the promise,” I sigh. “I promised Elijah to keep Klaus under control. But I clearly can’t.” I explain.
“So why not leave?” She asks.
“Do you really think Klaus will let me leave. Why do you think I’m still here?” I ask slightly annoyed. The next thing I hear is a grunt and shift from Stefan, as he wakes up.
“Oh, he lives,” Rebekah says turning back towards me and Stefan.
“What happened?” Stefan questions.
“You took a beating,” Rebekah responds.
“Klaus has been breaking your neck all afternoon. Quite the temper.” I add.
“Why did he bring us back to Mystic Falls?” Stefan questions next as he starts to get up.
“You can stop playing dumb now. It didn’t take him long enough to figure out what you’d been hiding, ” Rebekah says shifting her gaze between you and Stefan.
“I’m not hiding anything. I’ve done everything Klaus has asked me to,” Stefan responds back.
“No, you just failed to mention that the doppelganger’s still alive,” Rebekah explains. You notice as Stefan is taken aback a bit and pushes off the confrontation.
“Where is Klaus now?” Stefan asks.
“With any luck, ripping that cow’s bloody head off,” Rebekah responds. I sit clenching my fists wanting to punch Rebekah but stay still knowing I can’t take her. The next thing you notice is Stefan rushing Rebekah slamming her onto the concrete.
“Where is she?” He questions madly as I jump out of the truck.
“You really do love her, don’t you?” Rebekah questions back before pushing Stefan against the truck and punching him. “Consider me jealous,” She says before plunging something into Stefan’s stomach.
Rebekah soon leaves after stabbing Stefan. You wanted to go after her but cared for Stefan more, “Go after her, I’ll be fine.” Steffan grunts.
“No, I’ll get her in a moment. Or she’ll be back for us soon enough,” I say as I start to pull the crowbar out of Stefan’s torso. 
“Just go find Elena make sure she’s safe, I’ll get this out myself,” Stefan says grasping as his stomach.
I make my way into the school and quickly make my way through the halls. I begin to become frustrated as I can’t find anyone. I take a moment and stop to listen for anything, and soon enough I pick up Klaus’ voice and follow it. I make it into the gymnasium not too far after Rebekah, who has Tyler in hand.
“I’d like you all to meet my sister, Rebekah. Word of warning-- she can be quite mean,” I hear Klaus say as I just start to enter.
“Don’t be an ass!” She responds.
“Leave him alone!” I say as I make my way to the group.
“Ahh...lovely to see you join us here Athena,” Klaus says as I hug Elena and Bonnie.
“I’m so glad to see you’re ok,” Elena whispers in my ear.
“I’m going to make this very simple--” Klaus starts as he drags Tyler away from us. “Every time I attempt to turn a werewolf into a vampire hybrid, they die during the transition. Athena can attest to this. It’s quite horrible actually.” Klaus explains and then feeds his blood to Tyler. “I need you to find a way to save my hybrids, Bonnie. And for Tyler’s sake… you better hurry.” Klaus grabs around Tyler’s mouth.
“Klaus, Don’t!” I yell as I run to him, but I wasn’t quick enough because as soon as I got to them, Klaus had snapped his neck and dropped Tyler’s body to the floor. I start to punch Klaus, once again he lets my fist hit his face before taking me into a hold.
“Shh...Shh…” He says quietly into my ear.
“Let me go!” I say and push myself out of his arms then making my way down to Tyler’s body. Even though I knew he was dead I still wanted to check on him. Klaus makes his way to the bleachers as the rest of the group hovers over Tyler.
“He killed him,” Matt says.
“He’s not dead. Klaus’ blood will turn him into a vampire,” I explain.
“And if Bonnie’s successful, he’ll live through his transition. Go on, then. Go fetch your grimoires and enchantments and what-not. I’ll hold on to Elena for safekeeping. Oh and make sure you whip up two of whatever solution you find,” Klaus says taking hold of Elena’s arm. He passes Elena off to Rebekah and grabs me. “And for more safekeeping, ” He says and drags me back. Matt and Bonnie run off so they can find a solution as quickly as possible.
“So this is the latest doppelganger. The original one was much prettier,” Rebekah taunts.
“Enough, Rebekah. Take the wolf boy elsewhere, would you?” Klaus asks annoyed and taking ahold of Elena with his free hand. Rebekah puts on a fake smile before dragging Tyler off.
“Just ignore her. Petty little thing.” Klaus says to Elena.
“You don’t have to keep ahold of me, Klaus. You know I’ll stay,” I say pulling my arm out from his grasp.
“Good little wolf. Loyal.” Klaus says as I glare at him.
“I’m not loyal to you,” I respond.
“Yes, you’re loyal to my brother. But you’ll come around,” He responds and I roll my eyes. He lets Elena go as she knows she can’t outrun him. We wait for a few minutes as Klaus sits on the bleachers and Elena and I check on Chad and Dana.
Soon enough Stefan finally walks in looking like he healed from the stab, “Stefan…” Elena says standing up.
“Klaus.” Stefan glares over to the bleachers.
“Come to save your damsel, mate?” Klaus asks.
“I came to ask for your forgiveness. And pledge my loyalty,” Stefan states.
“Well, you broke that pledge once already,” Klaus states back.
“Elena means nothing to me anymore. And whatever you ask of me...I will do,” Stefan explains. I wasn’t quite sure but it almost seemed like Stefan was playing games, but I couldn’t tell.
“Fair enough. Let’s drink on it,” Klaus says getting up from the bleachers. “Kill them. What are you waiting for? Kill them.” Klaus demands pointing to Chad and Dana
“No Stefan, don’t. He’s not gonna hurt me. He already said--” Elena butts in before Klaus takes a huge wack to Elena. 
“Klaus! I swear on my li--” I start before he grabs me by the throat holding me just barley to where I can touch the ground.
“Athena, love. If you try anything. I will kill them,” He says before letting me go. I drop to the floor grasping my throat. Stefan rushes Klaus as I crawl over to make sure Elena is ok.
“She means nothing to you? Your lies just keep piling up,” Klaus says holding Stefan an arm’s length away by the throat.
“Let her go! I’ll do whatever you want, you have my word!” Stefen offers grasping Klaus’s hands at his neck.
“Your word doesn’t mean much. I lived by your word all summer, during which time I never had to resort to this--stop fighting,” Klaus compels Stefan.
“Don’t do this. Don’t do this.” Stefan whispers under his breath.
“I didn’t want to. All I wanted was your allegiance. At least I have Athena’s. Now I’m going to have to take yours.” Klaus explains as Elena looks confused over at me. But I shake my head telling her that he doesn’t.
“You will do exactly as I say. When I say it. You will not run, you will not hide, you will simply just obey,” Klaus compels Stefan before letting him go.
“No, Stefan,” Elena says softly from beside me.
“Now kill them, ripper,” Klaus demands and gestures to Chand and Dana once more. Stefan then rushes to Dana and sinks his fangs into her neck, drinking every last drop. And then does the same to Chad.
“It’s always nice to see a vampire in his true element. The species has become such a broody lot,” Klaus says kneeling between Elena and me.
“No, you did this to him,” Elena says.
“I invited him to the party, love. He’s the one dancing on the table.” Klaus responds as we stand up.
“Where is it?! Where’s my necklace?” You hear Rebekah says as the tramples in.
“What are you talking about?” Klaus asks.
“She has my necklace. Look,” Rebekah holds up a phone as Klaus takes it.
“Well, well. More lies,” Klaus says after taking a look at the photo.
“Where...is it?” Rebekah asks once more getting impatient.
“I don’t have it anymore,” Elena responds.
“You’re lying!” Rebekah yells back before going for Elena’s neck. You, Klaus, and Stefan go to pull her off.
“Knock it off!” Klaus sternly yells at his sister as Elena falls to the ground.
“Make her tell me where it is, Nik!” She demands.
“Don’t you think if she had it. She’d be wearing it?” I inject looking up at the two from where Elena was laying.
“Where’s the necklace, sweetheart? Be honest.” Klaus asks seemingly in a nice way.
“I’m telling the truth. Katherine stole it,” Elena explains.
“Katerina. Of course. Well, that’s unfortunate. If we had the necklace it would make things a whole lot easier for your witch but since we’re doing this the hard way, let’s put a clock on it, shall we?” Klaus says making his way to a control panel. 
“20 minutes. If Bonnie hasn’t found a solution by then, I want you to feed again. Only this time, I want you to feed on Elena. You know you want to.” Klaus says making his way back to Stefan.
“No, Klaus! Don’t do this to him.” I say.
“No one leaves. If she tries to run, fracture her spine,” Klaus says pulling me along with him and Rebekah out of the gym.
Klaus passes me off to Rebekah as he goes off to somewhere else. She takes me with her to the science classroom where I find Tyler and Caroline, “ Oh thank god you’re ok,” Caroline pulls me into a tight hug. 
“I’m glad you’re ok too,” I pull away and make my way over to Tyler’s body. Rebekah sits upon another table a few feet away as she looks at Caroline’s phone.
After a few minutes, all of a sudden Tyler jolts awake, gasping for air.
“Hey! Shhh.” Caroline tries to calm him as he coughs and gets ahold of himself.
“Where am I? What happened?” Tyler asks once he takes in his surroundings.
“Don’t be shy about it,” Rebekah butts in as she watches us from across the room.
“What’s going on?” He asks looking back to Caroline and me.
“Klaus is turning you into a vampire. A hybrid. You’re in transition,” I explained seeing as Caroline is struggling to get the words out. 
“Don’t leave out the hard part, sweets. You’ll only survive is your witch is successful. If not…pretty much dead,” Rebekah further explains as Tyler sits up.
“You’re going to be ok. Ok? It’s going to be ok,” Caroline tries to keep Tyler calm.
“I wonder how she’s doing. Tick Tock goes the gym clock,” Rebekah taunts as she displays the two minutes left on the phone.
“Oh, would you just shut up already Rebekah,” I say annoyed. We continue to wait as Tyler goes through his transition without any blood.
“Well, the verdict’s in. The original witch says the doppelganger should be dead,” Klaus says walking into the room after a few more minutes of waiting.
“Does that mean we can kill her?” Rebekah asks excitedly making her way over to her brother. I just send her a nasty glare as she fake smiles at me.
“No, I’m fairly certain it means the opposite,” Klaus explains.
“What?” Rebekah asks back and takes ahold of Caroline.
“Let her go,” I say as Rebekah just tightens her grip. 
“Call it a hunch--” Klaus responds bending down to Tyler who is in pain looking back at Caroline. “Elena’s blood. Drink it,” Klaus demands, leaning the tube towards Tyler.
“No! No, no, no, Tyler, don’t!” Caroline tries to convince him not to.
“If he doesn’t feed, he’ll die anyway, love. Consider this an experiment,” Klaus explains as he quickly looks up at me before setting his eyes back on Tyler. “It’s ok,” Klaus whispers as Tyler pulls himself up to grab the tube. “There we go,” Klaus whispers once more as Tyler brings the tube to his mouth.
“Good boy,” Klaus says as Tyler downs Elena’s blood. As soon as Tyler drank the blood he started gagging. Falling over and knocking the glasses on the tables along with him, I quickly rush over to help him, but Klaus grasps before I could get too close.
“Tyler? No!” Caroline yells as her and I struggle to get to him. Tyler continues to groan in pain as he moves along the floor while making me watch the pain he’s going through. He grasps his head screaming, before looking up displaying his amber eyes, the veins below them, and his werewolf teeth.
“Well, that’s a good sign,” Klaus says as he pulls me down to Tyler’s level with him. 
“Time for patient number two,” Klaus says standing me up. He bites his wrist and then forces it upon my mouth. I couldn’t do anything but drink his blood. As soon as he finished, he let me out of his grasp.
“Is this what you had planned for me all along? This is why you wanted me to stay with you, so I could watch you make hybrids to eventually turn me into one, huh?” I ask trying to keep my distance from him. But all he does is give me that devilish smirk.
“Don’t you hurt her!” Is all I hear Caroline yell before I felt my neck snap and I drop into darkness.
------------------------------------------------------------
*Klaus and Rebekah take Elena and Athena to the hospital and are waiting outside for Elena’s blood.*
“So the doppelganger isn’t the problem. Her blood is the solution,” Rebekah states as she sits atop a car’s hood.
“Seems so,” Klaus confirms.
“How did you know?” She questions her brother.
“Well, you know how much the original witch hated me. Do you honestly think I would do anything other than the opposite of what she says,” Klaus responds.
“A thousand years in the grave and she’s still screwing with you,” Rebekah taunts.
“Well, it makes sense If you think about it from her perspective. It was her failsafe in case I ever broke the hybrid curse. The doppelganger had to die in order for me to become a hybrid but if she was dead…” Klaus starts to explain.
“Then you couldn’t use her blood to sire yourself a new species,” Rebekah finishes.
“Leaving me alone for all time,” Klaus says.
“Is that what this is about? Your obsession with hybrids. You just don’t want to be alone?” Rebekah questions.
“What I want is to take my girls, take my hybrid the hell out of this one pony town. You know why don’t you, uh, why don’t you get the truck, I’ll keep an eye on Athena and get Elena,” Klaus says clearly getting defensive. Rebekah slides of the hood and walks off. Klaus turns back and kneels down to check on Athena, who he set on the ground with a blanket atop of her.
“Well, look who finally decided to show up to the party,” Klaus says getting up from his kneeling position.
“Where are they?” Damon asks walking towards Klaus.
“Elena? Ah, she’s making a donation to a greater cause. Athena? She taking a nice nap right here,” Klaus explains as he gestures to Athena on the ground. Damon continues to walk trying to get to Athena and the hospital. “I’m afraid I can’t let you interfere, mate. That greater cause Elena is donating to is helping Athena and if you take her from me, she won’t survive, ” Klaus stops Damon by the chest.
“You’ll have to kill me,” Damon responds.
“Oh, I would love to kill you, but I made a pledge to your brother, and unlike him, I keep my word. Although you know what, thinking about it now, he probably doesn’t care that much anymore,” Klaus says before pushing Damon ontop the hood of a car.
“You don’t want to know about your friend Mikael?” Damon struggles to get out as Klaus gets ready to punch Damon but stops just short.
“What do you know about Mikael?” Klaus questions clearly distressed.
“Just that he knows you’re here,” Damon explains.
“Bluffing.”
“Katherine and I found him. Consider it our leverage.” Damon explains.
------------------------------------------------------------
I wake up gasping for air and coughing my lungs out. I look around noticing Klaus holding someone against a car, soon enough I could make out who it was, “Damon?” I question still trying to get ahold of my surroundings. 
Before Damon could respond, Klaus slams him against another car. And the next thing I know, I’m whooshed away by Klaus. Soon enough we were back at the truck with Rebekah.
“She’s finally awake,” She says as Klaus sets me down at the edge of the truck.
“Drink,” He demands pulling out another tube of Elena’s blood.
“No, I’d rather die,” I respond as I start to feel the same pain as Tyler.
“And I can’t let you,” Klaus says and then grabs my face, forcing my mouth open. He pours the blood in my mouth, I try my best to spit it out but he keeps my mouth shut forcing me to swallow. 
I start to feel a pain wash over me as the transition finishes. After hurdling over in pain for a few minutes, it stops, “I can’t lose you again, ever,” Klaus cups my face and I let myself relax. Soon enough I pull myself from his hand and try to run away, but am stopped by Klaus. 
I continue to struggle against him, “Shhh...shhh. It’s all right,” Klaus whispers to me before snapping my neck once more.
A/N: Wow this part was a roller coaster. I really hope you enjoyed this part and hope you’re excited to see what comes next! I know I am. I also somehow finished writing this ch 2 day ahead of posting...idk how.

Title: Ace and Min: Part 1
Pairing: Yoongi x Reader aka “Ace”
Warnings: Fluff, best friends to lovers, angst like a lot, slight crack, slight smut, abusive speak/language, talks of/and abusive behavior, talks of/toxic relationship
Rating: 18 and over
Your phone pings back to back as you load yourself into the taxi. You read over the messages your now ex has sent you. “You will never be anyone without me.” “Are you with that little shit Yoongi? He can’t beat me! He's a whiny little shit!” You choose not to answer as you tell the driver the address in which you were headed. Your phone pings once more. “Answer me bitch! I always knew you guys were more than friends. I see the way he looks at you. You think he can take my place?” Once again you choose not to respond, instead opting to switch the ring to silent. You hadn’t told your best friend of two years, that you had finally broke it off with your cheating jerk of a boyfriend. You didn’t want to damper the mood of your trip. You were surprisingly happy and excited at the thought of leaving your life behind and seeing your friend, even under the circumstances. Yoongi had just moved to Los Angeles six months ago and this has been the longest you two had ever been away from each other. The taxi driver couldn’t get you there any faster. “I’m in the cab and on my way to you.” You text Yoongi with a wink emoji. You didn’t want to think of anything sad or bad, you just wanted to be with the one person you knew understood you and loved you without cause or reason.
You exit the taxi, lugging your belongings with you into the luxury building of your best friends’ new apartment. He had just become more popular in the music producing game and was constantly busy, but you guys always made sure to stay connected. This was your first time visiting him at his new place and he had gushed about how beyond excited he was to be able to take the time off together to enjoy the fruits of his labor. When you booked your flight, he made sure to clear his schedule, he vowed no work and all play. You reread his message regarding the lock code to gain entry to his apartment during your ride up in the elevator. Once on the top floor, the elevator doors opened to reveal a large black door equipped with said keypad. You typed in the numbers, realizing as you did that it was your birthday. You enter the apartment and are greeted by a surprisingly simple and humble set up. You graze your hand across the top of the plush couch you once fawned over in a magazine and breath in the scent of an overgrown honeysuckle plant, making sure not to trample its long vines as you walk past along the corridor, as you make your way to the back of the apartment.
“Honey! I'm home!” You shout playfully down the hall. Suddenly a door opens, and you’re greeted by the wide gummy smile of your bestie! He playfully covers his face with his large, veiny hands but quickly drops them to reveal his smiling face once more. “You look amazing Ace!” He chuckles, opening his arms for a hug. All your emotions hit you at once as you run into his arms, knocking the wind out of him. “Minmin!” You say into his neck, warm tears streaming down your face. You squeeze tighter as a sob suddenly escapes your throat. “Hey, hey,” He rubs your back, “What's wrong? Am I that terrible looking at this time of night?” He jokes. You force a laugh. He takes you by the chin and turns your face to him being sure to pull your curls from your face. He looks you over concernedly. “Seriously, are you ok? Talk to me.” He wipes the tears from your eyes and you quickly hide your face in his neck once more. “I missed you so much! I just didn’t realize how much until I saw you.” You mumble into him. He chuckles while hugging you tightly again. “I’ve missed you too y/n. I don’t know if I'm gonna cry about it, but I did miss you.” He laughs causing you to join in while shoving him away. He continues laughing as he reaches out and grabs your wrist. He pulls you back into his embraced and you take a moment to breath him in. Vanilla and Eucalyptus, the smells of comfort, the smells of Yoongi. “Did you eat? Are you hungry? I didn’t prepare anything, but I do have ramen.” He offers, still rubbing your back. “No, thank you but you can show me around your fancy place, Min.” You say, releasing him now. He nods and waves you to follow him. “Down here is the guest bathroom,” He opens a door at the end of the hall and flicks on the light giving his best Vanna White impression before moving on to the next room, “This is the guestroom, I made it up with the fluffiest blankets and pillows for my esteemed guest.” He laughs. You walk into the room and run your fingers over the crisp white duvet. “Minmin,” You say in a baby voice, “All this for me?” He covers his face shyly. “I know how much you love a comfy bed.” He composes himself to say. You nod and leap back first into the bed becoming instantly engulfed in the plush comforts of your accommodations. “Ahh, don’t mess it up, I worked hard on that set up,” He groans, “Besides the tour isn’t over.” You whine but get up and follow him out of the room. He flicks the lights on in the master bedroom and your jaw drops. It’s twice the size of the guestroom and equipped with its own restroom. “Dammmmnnn Min, this is amazing!” You say in awe. You take a full walk around the room, taking in the four-post bed, television mounted on the wall, and desk set up in the corner. “Come, come.” He quips and you follow him to the next door. He opens to reveal a full studio, with attached booth on the left. To the right sits a plush love seat. You smile at the Knick knacks and tacked up photos of the two of you, you even lean in closer to get a better view. Yoongi, meanwhile, plops down on the couch. “What do you think?” He asks. You stand upright and nod while looking around. “I am so proud of you Min. This, all of this is truly amazing. You've worked so hard. You deserve it. I mean what more could you possibly want right?” You laugh. He blushes and gives a tight smile. “It’s lonely sometimes. It would be nice to share it with someone.” He mumbles. You pout at your friend and hop into his lap. He groans at the closeness. “You could have any girl you want Min. You just need to put yourself out there.” You say, wrapping your hands around the back of his neck and shaking him. He shrugs and wraps his arms around your waist. “I don’t want just any girl y/n.” He says. “Well, it's good not to settle you know. Not like me.” You remark. “What does that mean? Did something happen with Che?” He perks up a bit.
You feel your face flush and decide to change the subject quickly. “Oh my gosh, look at these pictures I took of people at the park.” You pull your phone out and start swiping through photos before he can ask any more questions. He scoffs quietly but otherwise looks through your pictures. “These are really good Ace. You should submit them to a magazine.” He encourages while lifting you slightly to adjust his sleepy leg. You attempt to help him by lifting your butt up but end up losing your balance and knocking your head into his. “Ahhh,” He laughs while rubbing his forehead, “You trying to knock me unconscious or what?” You laugh as well apologizing and planting a kiss on his forehead. He smiles slyly and cries out suddenly. “What?” You ask nervously. “It still hurts. Maybe it needs more convincing.” He explains as he puckers his lips and points to the spot you knocked into. You mush his head as you both laugh. “Come on, let’s eat something light and head to bed. I have a lot planned for tomorrow.” He tells you. You whine and curl further into his lap. “Can’t we just stay like this forever?” You whisper. He sighs and begins rubbing your leg. “Not if Che can help it. Now up we go Ace. Don’t be a lazy girl.” He nudges you gently and you rise pouting at him. “Fine, party pooper.” You say as you exit the studio. “You will thank me later.” He tells you, leading you out toward the kitchen. “Where did you get this huge Honey Suckle from?” You comment as you pass by. “I bought it just before you got here and had it delivered. I know you like them. I wanted you to feel at home. I’ll put it out on the terrace once it outgrows its pot.” He points past the living area. “You have a terrace?” You ask wide eyed. He nods in response. You walk over to the curtained windows and reveal the locked doors. You gasp as you unlock and walk out onto the hidden treasure. There are two lounge chairs on the left as well as a grill, table, and four chairs set up on the right. Not to mention the killer view of the city. You cover your mouth at the glittering lights. “People pay millions of dollars for this kind of view in New York Min.” You remark, not even sure if he can hear you from indoors. You look around and marvel at the gorgeous little garden that is set up along the red brick barricade. “Hydrangeas, Lilies, roses, and carnations.” You say aloud. “All your favorites, right? I’ll put the Honey suckle along the wall behind the lounge chairs so they can grow upwards towards the roof. I think the color will really stand out. What do you think?” He smiles wide. “I think you are amazing and way too good to me. I am so blessed to call you my friend.” You smile. His face drops slightly as he swallows hard but nods. “Yeah. Do you wanna eat out here or inside? It’s a nice night.” He asks. “Can we eat out here? I mean the view is amazing.” You turn and point. He nods and heads inside.
He appears again with two bowls of ramen noodles. You both take a seat at the table and begin eating. “So, how’s the east coast?” He asks, cheek full of noodles. “Eh, same ole, same ole. I quit my job at the magazine.” You confess, slurping up noodles as Yoongi chokes on his. He coughs hard, trying to clear his throat, taking a sip of water as he regains his composure. “When? Why? Wha- what happened?” He stumbles over his words. “They were giving me shit work. I want larger pieces. I want to do fine art and fashion shoots; I don’t want to be stuck in the ads section forever. I am worth so much more and I am sick and tired or people not seeing that.” You huff. He gives a tight smile and nods slowly. “I can see that y/n. That’s why you’re my Ace because you’re one of a kind. I mean look, I totally support any decision you make. I just want you to be happy. What does Che think of all this?” He scratches the back of his neck and leans back in his seat. Your bottom lip quivers and you just shrug your shoulders. “Why are you always so concerned with what’s going on with Che? Who cares what Che thinks Min? I am here talking about me and all you care about is Che. Why don’t you go fucking ask him if you’re so concerned,” You hop up out of your seat suddenly, “I’m going to bed. Goodnight.” You head inside quickly as Yoongi calls out to you. You enter the guestroom and slam the door shut being sure to lock it behind you. Yoongi knocks on the door, “Come on Ace, something is going on, why are you being this way? Please open the door. Talk to me.” He plays with the door handle while you sit on the bed crying softly into a pillow. “Go away please. I need to rest.” You shout. You hear him sigh from the other side of the door and walk off. You take a glance at your phone which you have been avoiding, to find a plethora of messages and missed calls. “Bitch!” “Are you with HIM?” “Fuck you both!?” “It’s not over until I say it is.” “I’m sorry baby please call me back.” “I can’t do this without you. She meant nothing, please forgive me.” “If you keep ignoring me, I’m going to come find you and you’re going to be sorry.” “Answer me!” You cry harder at all the horrible messages until eventually sleep finds you.
“My boss! You slept with my boss? How could you?” You yelled. “You were always so busy with work and I am a man with needs, needs that have to be met y/n! She was there for me when you weren’t.” Che yells back at you. “So, this has been ongoing?” You reply defeated, as the realization sets in. Your boyfriend just sighs. “Let’s not do this ok. Let’s just fix it.” He states. You laugh out loud. “Fix it! FIX IT!” You shout now, “There is no fixing this Che, its no wonder I’ve never been able to progress at my job. That bitch has been holding me back while lying on hers! I am so happy I am leaving. This trip couldn’t come at a better time.” You say heading to your room to grab your things. “Look, about that, I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to go to LA. We have a lot to work on here.” He says as almost a command. You shake your head. “No, not going to happen. I haven’t seen Yoongi in months, I am not cancelling and this, whatever this is, is over Che.” You pull up the handle of your suitcase and walk towards your door. Suddenly, Che yanks you back by your arm. “You’re not leaving.” He shouts. You shove him with all your might. “Get off of me Che. What the hell is wrong with you?” You yell in shock, out of breath. “I’m sorry ok, calm down. I just want to talk and figure things out.” He forces a smile. Your adrenaline is coursing through you. “Ok Che,” You whisper, “Can you grab me a towel so I can put ice on my arm?” You point towards the bathroom. He nods, walking back to the back of the house. As you hear the linen closet open you race out of the door and down the stairs, yelling for a cab once you reach the front of the building. You are taking off down the street by the time Che is on the curb yelling your name.
You jump up from your sleep at the sound of your name echoing through your head. You look around and try to calm your fast beating heart. You’re still at Yoongi’s, you’re safe. You get out of the bed and change out of your clothes into a fluffy hoodie. You lay back down and try looking at your phone only to see its died. You grunt out of bed again to find and attach it to your charger. You turn to the bed but decide you don’t want to be alone tonight. You pad quietly out of your room and into Yoongi’s. Its so dark inside that you’re afraid of bumping your toe. You stretch your arms out in front of you, waving your hands around until you feel the plush of the duvet. You hum happily, pleased with yourself. You climb into the bed and under the covers, reaching over until you feel Yoongi’s soft cool hands. You rub your fingertips over the top of his left hand while you listen to the sounds of his breathing. He rouses suddenly at the feel of your hand on his. “Y/n, are you ok?” He stretches, taking your hand in his. “I’m sorry Min for freaking out on you at dinner. I’ve not felt like myself in a while. It has nothing to do with you.” You whisper, squeezing his hand. He chuckles softly. “It’s ok, I just wish you would tell me what’s going on. I don’t like that you’re keeping secrets. I am always here for you. I would never judge you.” He says. “I’m not, I just, I don’t mean to keep things from you. I just feel so disconnected since you left. Like a part of me left with you.” You confess. “I am always with you Ace. Nothing can change that. A million miles apart but always together.” He whispers, planting a kiss on your head before resting his head atop yours and pulling your body into his. You wrap your arms around him now and listen to the sounds of his heart beating. “Min.” You whisper now. “Hmm.” He responds. You push away from his embrace slightly to face him, his features coming into view even in the dark room. “I love you.” You say. He swallows as his mouth drops open to respond. You lean in and capture his bottom lip in between your lips. He pauses but you quickly engulf his mouth with yours, deepening the kiss by wrapping your arms around his neck. He grabs you around the waist and pulls your hips into his growing erection. You swirl your tongue around his, moaning softly into him. This was magic, you thought, exactly what kissing was meant to be, hot, warm, welcoming. You knew you never wanted to kiss another man after this because no other kiss could be as perfect. Its as if he poured all his love into this kiss. You needed more as you felt your body catch fire and skin goose.
You push him onto his back and straddle him, never breaking this magical kiss. You grind your hips into his hardened member causing him to groan from deep within his chest. He takes your ass into his hands and pushes his hips up into your moistened sex. Was this really going to happen? You wondered now, a sudden flash of guilt hitting you. You finally break from the kiss, both of you completely out of breath. Yoongi quickly attaches his swollen mouth to your neck, still guiding your aching cunt over his throbbing member. You moan unabashedly as he suckles and nibbles his way to your collar bone. He begins to work his way across your collar bone and up the other side of your neck before biting down hard. “Fuck!” You cry out at the intense pleasure that engulfs you. We shouldn’t, you think but still you welcome his mouth on yours as he begins to assault your mouth once more. He leans up now, wrapping one arm around your waist and sliding the other arm up your shirt, wrapping his large hand around one of your full mounds. He squeezes gently before taking ahold of your sensitive nipple and swirling it between his thumb and forefinger. Its been so long since someone has touched you, let alone kissed you this passionately. You wondered exactly when Che lost that passion, when it all became selfish love making, rough. As Yoongi planted kisses along your jaw and ear lobe, you realized just how much you missed passion, how much you missed fire, how much you craved it. “Are you sure you want to do this?” Yoongi whispers in your ear, breaking you away from your thoughts, allowing guilt to creep in again. “What?” You ask him. “I want this so bad but are you sure you want to do this?” He whispers again out of breath. He looks you over in anticipation for your answer. “Fuck,” You cry, covering your mouth with your hand, “I’m so sorry Min.” You say now. He swallows back the lump growing in his throat at your rejection but shakes his head. “No, no, please don’t be sorry.” He tries to pull you into a hug but you push him away. “I should sleep in the other room. I’m sorry.” You quickly jump off of him and begin to slide off the bed. “No, wait, Ace. Please its ok. I don’t want you to go.” But its too late, you’re already making your way back to the guestroom.

A young office worker mysteriously shrinks one evening while working late. The only one left in the building is her stern and intimidating boss. When her supervisor finds her however, she's surprised to discover the grumpy man has a softer side to him, even if he's not overt about it.
Hey! Sorry this is a little late! At least I got it out 😅. I'm gonna try to write another one before the end of the weekend, but I can't promise I'll know the exact day.
I decided to go OC with this one. Please let me know if you want specific characters, if not I'll just go with some I know. Or OC, like this case.
Alice, to say the least, was not having a good time. She wasn't even totally sure what happened. She was leaving her office when she tripped over something. It looked like a gun of some sort, but it shot some kind of light instead of a bullet.
Great, the lab left me another present to clean, she thought, and reached down to pick it up. But then she started to feel funny. As she put her hand on the wall to help gain her balance, she blacked out.
Right now she was really hoping someone else might have stayed late, but at this point she wasn't so sure. She stayed well last closing time just to complete a big project she was trying to work on. Her boss would be so mad if that wasn't done soon. She was almost positive she'd be the last one in the office.
Just as she was ready to give up, she heard a sound. Typing! That meant someone had to be here! She ran to the source, and discovered that it was in Charles office. I guess it kinda makes sense that the boss would be one of the last people to leave, she thinks.
I'd she was being honest, she was kinda hoping it wouldn't be him. He was slightly scary, with his big intimidating muscles Seriously, where does one get muscles that big working an office job?!, and a very large height. He always had this look about him that screamed "Don't fuck with me, I'll kick your ass if I have to."
She walks in slowly, making sure he wasn't going to get up and squish her. When she makes it there without becoming carpet juice, she starts climbing up the legs of his desk.
About midway up, Charles gets a phonecall. He picks up after a few rings, and they talk for a few minutes.
"Hey dude!... Yeah man, $10,000 should be fine... Maybe a little more? ... Yeah that sounds amazing... No, don't put it under my name, I don't want this to turn into a stunt for publicity... Yeah, I still want people to know about them. We could still post about them on Twitter so people will know about them?... Awesome... Thanks... I don't know, you know the media always goes crazy weird when rich people donate money. They always get weirdly hostile y'know? And I think homeless teens are underrepresented in the charity world... See? That's exactly my point... Yeah man... OK bye, and make sure to say hi to Sarah for me!"
Even though the conversation was a little weird for some reason, Sarah honestly thought that was really sweet, and he made some good points. As she's climbing closer to the top of the desk, something strikes her odd. Why does the conversation he had seem so weird?
It clicks just as she climbs onto the desk. She's never heard him talk about doing such nice things. Normally when he talks, it's always about business, and sometimes about how the team has been slacking to much. She's never heard him this happy before either.
Now's not the time to be psychoanalyzing your boss! She thinks, and walks over to his keyboard. "AHH WHAT THE FUCK!" He shouts. "Wait, Sarah?!" She gives a tiny wave. "What... what happened?" He reaches a hand down for her to climb on, then brings it close to his face.
"I'm guessing the lab was working on something and left it out on accident. I stepped on some weird gun that shot me with something, then I passed out" She says as she sits down. "I'm not really sure what to do. I can't go home, I'll never be able to get back and fix this." Charles looks a little thoughtful. "You could... come stay at my place? It is kind of my fault since this is my building. And I'll contact the lab to see what can be done."
Sarah is definitely relieved. She knows she can rely on him, he's a respectable person even when he's being stern or impatient about something. "It's kinda my only choice, isn't it?"
Charles gives a half nod and sets her on his desk. He starts packing up his things, then gently puts her in his breast pocket. "We'll figure this out together. We have to." he reassures her as he walks out the door.

GIRL ALL OF MY SENTENCES ARE TOO LONG HAHAHAH IN FACT THIS IS TOO LONG SOOO (also why am i 3 days late..😑) anywho it’s 1 in the morning so <33 lovely anon
🥰
oh my god the fact that you cried nearly made me cry too😭😭🥺🥺 (also, your brother LMAO), i wasn‘t even sure if you‘d see it but i immediately thought of you so of COURSE i included you <333
the hulu police lsjsjaiaik, girl i was ready to get a hulu membership when i wanted to watch big time adolescence and i couldn‘t find it anywhereee, and when i got to the payment it said i need a bank account that‘s based in the US or whatever. like bro i was about to pay you!! but i was forced to find it somewhere (and i did, on levidia,— not that i‘ve ever used it because it‘s illegal 😤 i would never!!! i‘d rather support billion dollar companies and spend my money on watching films that i can find for free 🥰🥰🥰 not
i‘ve found chaos walking online so i‘ll watch it som time this week!! also YES TELL ME THE STORY
okay so idk if you watched/are planning on watching falcon and winter soldier but i watched the first episode the other day and they were speaking french (just a few seconds) and I UNDERSTOOD SOME WORDS DLDJDJ and i was so proud of myself. i‘ve only ever learned french with duolingo lol (i only do like 5 mins a day and that‘s why i was so surprised that i understood some of it!!). and yeah apart from latin i feel like italian, german, french and english are all similar in a sense.. i mean obviously they‘re completely different languages but for example there are some grammatical constructions in french that i think i wouldn‘t understand if i only spoke english? so when i translate those things into english you can‘t directly translate them bc you say things differently, but when i translate them into german then it makes more sense to me. idk that‘s something i noticed so i feel like if you already know multiple languages it‘s easier to learn another language compared to if you only know one language and are trying to learn a second one. even if the languages aren‘t similar then i think you get the hang of it easier.
ikd slsjsjs also i don‘t want you to think that i‘m a linguistic genius or anything lmfao, like i‘m only fluent in english and german and i‘m just a wannabe (ew that word) polyglot sksj (yes i had to google polyglot— i do think learning ancient greek would be super cool tho? like imagine studying latin AND ancient greek, whew). and honestly i don‘t think i‘ll ever be fluent in another language bc i don‘t plan on living anywhere other than germany or possibly england and i‘m not dedicated enough to properly learn any other languages esp if i don‘t have anyone to speak the language with. but i still try my best and i just love language/languages as a whole so yeah i‘m happy & just learning as much as i can dkdjh🥰
(I guess language/linguistics are/is my passion (which sounds sooo lame lmaoooo) and the word passion comes from the latin word pati (i think💀) which means to suffer, and in german passion is called Leidenschaft which basically means suffering too, idk why i‘m telling you this maybe you know it already. but ok dumb fun fact, in german you can make compound words with as many words as you like, and the longest official german word is Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz which is a law for the monitoring of labels on beef... this is such a dumb fact but i think about that word like once a day idk why dodjsjsj so... 👁👄👁)
but i‘ll stop boring you with my linguistics talk because truly i don‘t know much about languages but i am interested omg i‘m gonna shut up now.
now water + sharks. (so in non-covid times i always go to croatia with my dad during the summer, and even before ever watching a shark film i was always kind of scared in water.. but after watching so many shark films wldjdj HELP Like you know when you go deeper into the ocean and you can‘t see or feel the ground/floor? anymore.. then i just start imagining sharks. like i can‘t help it i just imagine a shark sneaking up on me or feeling something graze my foot ABD I JUST START FREAKING OUT SSKJSHSJ. idk. anyway kdkdh i do love the ocean/swimming though but the older i get the more i realise how fucking scary the ocean is ( even if we’re gonna disregard sharks)
your brother... what‘s wrong with him? HOw CAN YOU NOT LIKE MUSIC LIKE WHAT THE FAWK
OKAY BUT SAME ABOUT THE ADORE YOU MUSIC VIDEO DLDKDJSJSKSLSLKSKSJSHSH and yeah i have to say harry’s style (styles lol) as a solo artist isn‘t reaaally my cup of tea, and i only like the popular songs from his second album and the first album is only good when i‘m in the right mood (haven‘t actually listened to it in a while though, but kiwi is one of my all time favourites along with only angel but i hate the start, like it takes 40 seconds to actually begin properly). i like mgk and because of him i watched the dirt which is a film about motley crue, and now one of my favourite songs ever is same ol situation and i‘m into rock now lol. +++ justin bieber. I had a justin bieber cardboard cutout thingy😭 i was the biggest Belieber on earth when i was 13-16, but i didn‘t like his last album and tbh he‘s become a bit weird lately, BUT OH MY GOD. i Listened to his new album yesterday and i‘m in LOVE with the song hold on
i really like niall‘s music toooo!!!! And doja cat 😌😌😌😌 And THE VAMPS OG MY GOD. i got to see them live bc they were the opening/support act for little mix and ajdsjskslslsjsjsj.

You’re an idiot. I married an idiot.
I feel like I haven’t posted in forever!! But this is over 1k of Sprace hurt/comfort (with a smattering of Jack and Race being brothers because I have nothing if not a brand) so I hope that makes up for it. Also, I know nothing about surfing or skateboarding, so please don’t judge if I got anything about it horribly wrong. 
Spot had missed being a mechanic. 
Don’t get him wrong, he had loved his honeymoon, and spending time with his husband, but nothing was quite as gratifying as getting his hands dirty and fixing up a car. 
Spot was in the middle of a job when York, one of the other mechanics, came in.
“Hey Spot, your phone’s been ringing like crazy for the last five minutes.”
Spot poked his head up from under the car. 
“Who was it?”
“Uhh, not sure, it's the cowboy emoji?” Spot rolled his eyes.
“That’s just my dumbass brother in law, who is currently catching up with my husband. Ignore it. It’s probably just him trying to annoy me because he knows I’m at work” 
“Sure, Spot,” York shrugged, leaving the garage
Spot got another 3 minutes of blissful silence working on the car, when York came back in. 
“Spot, it’s still ringing, and you have like. 10 messages from the guy too.”
Spot sighed loudly and gestured for York to hand over the phone. Jack calls him back as he leaves the room. 
“What the hell do you want?” Spot growled.
“Race’s in hospital.” That made Spot stop cold.
“Which hospital?”
“53rd” 
“On my way.” Spot swallowed against the mounting fear. “How bad is it?” 
“He’s fine, Spot. I wouldn’t be able to talk right now if he wasn’t.” That was true, if there was anyone who would be more affected by this then Spot, it was Races brother. “He’ll probably want you when he wakes up though?” 
“What the hell did you two do?” Jack's words had calmed Spots' fear somewhat (although nothing truly would until he saw Race himself) but it had left him confused. Jack made it sound like Race wasn’t awake, but if Jack wasn’t worried, then what the hell had the two of them done?
“Well, we went skateboarding, and-” 
“You and Race can skateboard?” 
“....no”
“I’m going to kill both of you. Be ready to die in about 10minutes.”
“See you then Spot.”  
Exactly 9minutrs later, Spot was walking toward the front desk of the hospital. 
“Hey, I’m looking for an Antonio Higgins Conlon - Kelly?”
“And you are?” 
“His husband,” Spot said, not so subtly lifting his ringed hand up to run through his hair. 
“Of course, he's in surgery right now, but should be out soon. Fifth floor.” 
Spot thanks the attendant and makes his way to the elevator, sending Jack a quick message to let him know he’s there. 
By the time Spots reached the fifth floor, his nerves have returned, and Jack is waiting for him. Spot was slightly worried that Jack was lying over the phone, but one look at his face - slightly shaken and a little off-kilter, but no red puffy eyes and generally looking kinda ok - knows that Jack was telling the truth, and his husband is fine. Banged up, but fine.
“Where is he?” Is the first thing that comes out of Spots mouth. Distantly, he thinks that he probably should be a little nicer, but Jack seems to get it. He doesn’t say anything, just gestures for Spot to follow him to the waiting room at the end of the hallway. 
“I called you as soon as we got here, Race’s -” Jack swallows, “-he’s been in surgery the whole time. The doctor ain’t come back out yet, but I think he had a concussion and broke his leg. And Something didn't look right bout his arm, but I ain’t a doctor, so I don’t really know and”
“Jack,” Spot interpreted his ramble, “you said Race’s gonna be ok. Then he’s gonna be ok. Let just, sit here and wait, and then the doctor will come out and tell us what’s going on, kay?”
“Uh, yeah, that's - right - good idea Spot.”
Spot had always felt a kinda protectiveness over Race’s brother, which was weird. Spot was the oldest of the three (if only by a couple months) and Jack was incredibly protective and strong for Race, and Spot was the one person he seemed to really let his guard down around. 
And right now, Spot couldn't keep calm for himself, he could keep himself at least looking calm for Jack. 
The boys sat in silence for a couple minutes when a nurse walked in. 
“Jack Kelly?” Both boys jumped up. “And I assume your Antonios husband?” the man said with a slight laugh, looking at Spot.
“Uh, yeah, Is he ok?”
“Your husbands fine, Mr Conlon - Kelly. A light concussion, a broken leg, and some scarring on his arm. Nothing that won’t heal.” Spot let out a sigh of relief. He felt Jack almost melt into the floor next to him. 
“Now I know your husband wants to see you, you want to see him, boys?” 
“Race’s awake?” Spot questioned, already following the man toward the room Race was in. 
“He’s awake. He’s also still a little...loopy… from the medication. He’s said some truly wonderful stuff. The nurse turned to wink at Jack. “I’d recommend getting your phone out and filming him.” Jack fished his phone out of his pocket as they arrived at the door, pressing record as he and Spot entered the room.
“Oh, honey…”
“SPOTTIE!” Race shot up in his bed and smiled wild at his husband, and then winced at the pain it caused his arm. “I think I got a booboo Spot.”
Spot could feel Jack vibrating with barely contained laughter behind him. 
“Yeah you did angel, but the nurse said they fixed you right up.”
“Oh yeah, I remember. I told them you were coming.” Ahh, that explained some of the nurse's cryptic comments from earlier. “They didn’t believe me when I told them I was married. Said I looked too young.” 
“We Are kinda young, love,” Spot said, sitting down on the foot of the bed, and starting to massage his husband's foot. In defence of the nurses, the assumption was fair. Race was 25 but still managed to look not much older than 21. 
“Mmm. But I told em I was. I said I was married to a hobbit and fiercely in love.”
Jack, who up until this point had been waiting in the corner filming, promptly burst out laughing, dropping his arm holding his phone as he clutched at his side. 
“Ohh, Jackie!! Jackie, I got some booboos!! Can you put the Spiderman bandaids on them like when we’s were little!! Please, Jackie.!?!”
“I…, Oh god” Jack continued to wheeze, “I do;;t have any Race.”
“Oh, that’s disappointing.” Race shrugged and layed back down. “Night night Spottie. Night night Jackie,” Race mumbled, and promptly fell asleep.
“What are we gonna do with him?” Spot sighed, rolling his eyes fondly.
Jack went home around 9, and Spot stayed behind, sleeping on the chair he'd pulled up to Race’s bed, his hand still in Race’s hair. 
When he woke up the next morning, Race was still asleep. It occurred to him to text Hotshot, his manager, to let him know he wouldn’t be coming in today. He was just putting his phone away when Race woke up. 
“Spottie?” He mumbled. His eyes were still closed, but his hand was searching blindly for Spots. 
“Hey Sweetie,” Spot responded, threading his hand through Races. “How’re you feeling?”
“Everything hurts,” Race groaned, leaning toward Spot, who lifted his other hand back into Race’s hair.
“Yeah, a broken leg, a concussion, and some pretty nasty scarring on your arm will do that to you.” Spot laughed
“I’m never going skateboarding again.”
“You never should have gone in the first place, love. How’d you do it? Jack was awfully vague.”
“Well, we started on flat ground, and I was good at that, so I decided to try the ramps. I figured it was kinda like riding the waves and surfing right? And I got down fine, but I did not have enough momentum to get back up the ramp. So I tumbled back down. And I forgot solid ground is a lot harder than waves in the ocean.”
“So wait, you thought that skateboarding and surfing were the same, but forgot the part where the ground is solid and not, you know, water?” Spot questioned, shaking his head fondly. 
“In my defence, So did Jack.”
“You’re an idiot. I married an Idiot.”
“You know me and Jack hun, you married into a family of idiots.” 
“That’s fair.” Spot laughed, before returning to a more sober expression. “God Race, getting that call from Jack. I don't think I’ve ever been so scared in my life.”
“Sorry for scaring you mi angelo.” Race leaned down to kiss Spots hand still in his. 
“It’s ok Race.” 
“I love you Spottie.”
“Love you too Racer.”
thanks for prompting!! Let me know what you think!!
