My Truth

Allow me to introduce myself. Hi...

My name is Lucie. You might remember me from my old blog, lightmylove-gvf. It started out as a really fun, wholesome space. Full of love and laughter. I shared pictures and gif sets and works of fiction. Made so many wonderful connections with many different people. It really was a wonderful place to be. Until it wasn't. And although I've tried my best to step away from certain controversies, it seems that people still have an issue with me and still have my name in their mouth. So I'd like to take this opportunity to set the record straight. Maybe move past some untruths and you can all make informed decisions on whether you'd like to continue following me here on my current blog. Which is also a place of peace and love, I might add. And always has been.

Anyway, read on if you'd like. And if not, that's ok too.

I think it's fair to say that I've always been one of the more "controversial" writers around here. I have never shied away from difficult storytelling, and I never will. But what started out as a completely separate issue quickly snowballed into what could only be described as a personal vendetta.

I'm happy to discuss anything within my writing that might be of issue to a reader. A particular blog took offence to a scene I had written in a chapter of my fic, Backstage. I happened to disagree with this blog, and I tried my best to let them know whilst I understood their stance I did not agree with their point of view. I took this opinion to a discord server I was part of along with several other blogs here to see if they could shed more light on the issue.

The scene in question involved a fictionalised version of Josh and the reader in bed. They had gone to bed together with the full narrative of the reader known. How she was in love with him and wanted nothing more than to make love with him. They had been growing close. And Josh began to touch reader as they slept side by side. We get an insight into the readers thoughts during this moment, and they are very much with consent and enjoying the experience. It's meant to be a nod to what is to come. That their bodies are in tune with each other, even if their words are yet to speak of it. I think a lot of experiences in life play out like that. Where we don't always know what to say, but find ourselves in situations where our bodies can do the talking. Anyway, I digress...

There was a lot of opinions flying around in the server. Some were in favour of my opinion, others opposed it and were in favour of the anon who had sent me alot of hateful messages regarding their view that this scene was nothing more than sexual harassment. I explained in the server that I myself had been the victim of sexual assault/harassment. That I knew what it felt like to get into bed with someone I thought that I could trust only to have them break that trust in the most heinous way. I tried to explain that I didn't think this particular scene was that.

One sentence that I said was screenshotted and shared around with absolutely zero context to it and nothing of the rest of the conversation added to the screenshot. Just one sentence that I'd said which pertained to saying that I agreed that people should be able to get in bed with others and have full rights to their own bodies. I was AGREEING with that. It's there in black and white. But the narrative was skewed by people who didn't want to understand me. I tried to explain about how my personal experiences often lied within power imbalances when it came to things like S/H. But in the end, they gave me no chance to explain myself properly. They didn't want to. They'd seen and heard enough and made up their mind.

But it didn't stop there. People who I thought were my friends blocked me. Told me I was disgusting. Told me I was playing the victim. Because I didn't issue a grovelling apology. But how could I? I wasn't sorry. I hadn't done anything wrong. I'd poured my heart out to them about my trauma and abuse and how in my own experience I didn't view it as the same as what I'd written. I'd put trigger warnings. I'd made sure people had the right to information before proceeding!

I had blogs who had never interacted with me block me. Call me disgusting. Tell me fuck myself. I had anons telling me to kill myself. Anons telling me that I was a rapist and...for some reason...a peadophile sympathiser? I didn't deserve that. Nobody deserves that. I literally wrote two consenting adults touching each other in a bed they'd both gotten into...consentingly.... with very obvious (although unspoken at that point) feelings for each other. But now, that wasn't the issue. The issue was my own personal feelings on sexual harassment.

I'm the first to admit that I am perhaps not an easily digestable person to some. But I know that I am kind. I know that I have spent hours proof reading and editing fics for other writers on here because they asked for my help. I've supported people though personal issues, and I've championed the work of other writers because I truly believed that this space was a wonderful space for creativity. I still do, to some degree. I am not perfect, and I know that sometimes I can be a little head strong when it comes to protecting people's rights to free speech. I understand that I'm not palatable as a person to people who don't agree that the freedom to write should come with the freedom to write anything.

To those of you who never ever spoke to me and are still sharing things about me with the hash tag #fuck you lucie.... to you I say why have you jumped on that bandwagon? You do not know me. You know only what you've heard from people who were intent on pushing a narrative that was their own. Not mine. You don't know that these people were once my friends. And they shared my work and enjoyed it as I enjoyed theirs. They told me things about themselves and I was happy to know them. These people who then decided I was a terrible human being. Based on one thing I said that was taken completely out of context. It's almost as if they have shared it so many times now with their own backstory that it's a canon truth. I'm the worst human to ever walk the earth. Forget about all the good things I did for you. I'm scum.

If you're still reading this, you're probably thinking boo hoo what a victim complex. Maybe you're right. Maybe I do have a victim complex. Like everyone else here I have mental health problems and I'm on the spectrum. I have trauma. As part of my adhd I have rejection sensitivity which means when I'm cornered I tend to fight back with justifications as to why I behaved the way I did. I guess that's what I'm doing now. Trying to explain myself. Again. Although what good it'll do, I dont know. And I think right now, it no longer matters.

And yet I still see that I'm being talked about. I'm still getting accused of sending anons to other blogs when I was literally just existing here in my peaceful little corner, everyone who had ever taken issue with me blocked or unfollowed. I didn't know what was going on over there, I was trying to just enjoy reading and writing. My anxiety could never cope with sending a hateful anon, I know there's ways of finding out where they come from and revealing the blogs who send them and it's like that story we're all told about peeing in the pool and turning the water a different colour. I don't fuck with that shit.

If, for any particular reason, I've ever hurt anyone here to them I do issue a heartfelt apology because it has never been and never will be my intention. I said some awful things in the heat of the moment when I was receiving alot of hate and death threats regarding the AI edit a friend of mine made with audio from one of my fics. I was under so much pressure. I wanted it all to just stop. I just wanted everyone to be able to enjoy whatever made them happy. I am sorry for the things I said during that time. Im a human being. I am flawed. However..

I do not believe that people lose their rights to their body the minute they climb into bed with someone. And that's precisely what I say in the infamous screenshot. I just hope for anyone who has seen it that they now understand that it was said with love and understanding and support. I would never disregard anyones trauma or triggers. Never. And that is why I believe in giving people all the information they require before consuming media and art.

With all this said, I sincerely hope that it's clear that all I want to do is write. It's all ive ever done and all I will ever really be any good at doing. I'm proud of the fics I've put out here on my old blog and this one too. I don't care about how many notes they get, just that one or two people read it and enjoy it. And I hope you all know that I'm a nice person, too. So are a lot of blogs who have been villainised recently. This witch hunt has got to stop. We have got to start listening to each other with peace and understanding and not jump to conclusions. Not make people out to be something they simply aren't.

I want to curate a loving space here. A safe and nurturing space for anyone to feel free within. I want people to know they can jump in my asks and know that I will love them. I want everyone, of every race and every gender and ever creed of this world to know they are welcome and accepted here. Like a wise man that we all know and love once said. I'm not the person they say I am. I never was. And I think some of them know that. It is my greatest hope that any of you who wish to stick around get to know me for yourselves.

It is my greatest wish that those blogs who are still spouting hate about me really grow and heal. Or even better, pop on over and get to know me? I think it's important to understand why you might hate someone and not just from unreliable sources. If you think that I am some sort of s/a supporter who revels in writing that sort of thing then I'd be glad to dispel that myth.

I'm not going to speak on this again because I feel that I've moved on. This blog is my creative outlet and always will be. And as I've stated above its a safe and loving space for all. I'm reclaiming the fun. And hopefully some of you will stick around for it. And if not, I bid you a farewell. With nothing but love in my heart.

oh my god…. prince……. you can’t do this to me. you’re saying next fic has vox getting fucked, focuses on vox’s transness (AH), AND ALSO HES ON THE OFF SEE SAW OF HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH VAL?????? ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL MEE?!!?!!????? I THINK I MIGHT ACTUALLY COMBUST. and bc another anon asked abt how alastor views the violence in voxval’s relationship, i have Another thought on the matter. as much as alastor looks down on vox, they can be Very similar sometimes. they are both egomaniacs and very prideful. i don’t think vox, without outside interference, would ever ADMIT that the violence he faces is 1) something he truly hates AND 2) out of his control. he can’t admit he hates it, because then why isn’t he stopping it? that would be admitting to not being powerful enough or strong enough. and hello, 50’s toxic masculinity coming through, he CANT be a victim of domestic violence. he’s a powerful, rich, and important man. it all comes down to perceived weakness. so, the solution is to pretend he’s mostly fine with it. sure, he can act disgruntled and upset in the moment, but i don’t think he’d ever let himself take it seriously. because then he has to start drawing lines in the sand, and what happens then? will val look down on him? will he lose val? yeah, he is not risking that over a problem he mostly refuses to acknowledge exists. and as you said, this is all happening in the setting of hell, where ultra violence IS the norm, and vox himself is excessively violent. it’s the most delicious 50 layer cake of fucked up-ness.

RANT ASIDE THO. i have a question. 2. do you ever plan on having vox interact with the hotel crew outside of angel? ANDDDD what would charlie’s reaction be to their friendship/situationship/ kinda love affair. i think she could add SOOOOO much hilarity and Intense Emotions to this series. not that the boys haven’t been doing their part in that so far. charlie just intensifies everything she does, god bless her. -🌓

The "getting fucked" bit and the trans conversation bit are directly related to and relevant to each other, and frankly I'm just very happy to be out here writing the specific flavors of deeply queer shenanigans that I'm writing, and to have people actively enjoy that. It genuinely means a lot to me that I've strayed so goddamn far out of the bounds of good old top/bottom yaoi archetypes that introduced me to fandom and yet have a wildly enthusiastic audience nonetheless. So, that was my long way of saying that you bring me a lot of fucking joy, anon, hahaha.

As for everything you're saying about Vox, power, and masculinity: YOU! points dramatically at you YOU GET IT! YOU GET IT!!!!!! Everyone just read this, this is it, this is the thing. I have no notes to add. There is a reason that the main point he raises the moment he actually says something vulnerable about it (before he immediately cuts himself off) is a complaint that he's an overlord, so why—?

And with regards to your questions: I'm not gonna lie, my actual planning for 666 is usually, like, extremely by the seat of my pants. I plan nothing except, "Oh, shit, had an idea for the next one. Lesgoooo—" and that's been the case for literally every single installment. It's all just been evolving naturally and building on top of itself. So! I can't say that I plan to have Vox interact with the hotel crew or Charlie, but I also will never say that I'm actively opposed to it.

That said, I do think a lot of this fic is kinda structured around hitting specific topics that come up in intimate settings between Vox and Alastor specifically, with occasional tag-ins from Angel Dust, so I don't really know if there's anything in particular I'd like to write that I think would work better in this series if more characters got involved. But, hey! Never say never!

#ask #personal #half moon anon #long post #hazbin hotel #radiostatic #666 live on air #I do agree with you I adore Charlie and in particular I adore her weird relationship with Alastor #actually before I decided to not make this COMPLETELY unhealthy I had a very very different idea for how to write the rut fic #involving basically Alastor getting pressured and also compulsory allonormativity-ing himself into having sex with Vox #and THAT outline DID involve abso-fucking-lutely everybody sticking their noses into the situation in deep deep alarm #Charlie Angel Husk and even fucking Lucifer showed up #but uh that was also the version of this series that ended with the radiostatic relationship pretty well nuked so #ended up NOT writing the “bad end” edition LOL #maybe one day I'll write it as an AU or something when I feel like upsetting absolutely everyone including myself #my writing #nsft

Hii, hope you're doing good!

There's quite confusion about a little thing as some are saying that some things are mistranslated but others going it's correct so it'll be helpful if you can translate this clip 😅

https://twitter.com/Jimin95themoon1/status/1624589256151732225?t=e6VHIt5Muec5n6j8HXbqKw&s=19

It's this one...

Hi, thanks for your message.

As always chronically online losers are creating something out of a normal interaction, I would assume trying somehow to use this translation of a 3 second clip as some kind of 'proof' that Jungkook was in some way 'opposing' the members coming in and commenting(??) while completely ignoring the rest of the interactions and even the footage where Jungkook is in no way using an angry tone to complain or show disagreement... How predictable 🥱 Though I wish to stay out of Twitter bs drama, I'll comment on this in the following way:

To start here is a longer clip:

Let's first of all take the whole situation into context and not only 3 seconds out of around a 2 min long conversation. Jungkook turns on the live, sees Jimin's comments and relays Jimin's appearance to the trainer. He invites Jimin over and explains to the trainer how the comments from the members appear. The trainer extends his invitation to Jimin and then Jungkook just keeps reading more comments while Hobi's subsequent comments appear. So then the subject of the convo changes to Hobi and Jungkook says:

Hoseokie hyung came too. (호석이 형도 왔다.)

*turns to the trainer* J-hope hyung came too. (제이홉 형도 왔어요!)

*turns back to the camera* Why.. why are (you) coming? Are (your) notifications popping up? (왜.. 왜 오는거야? 이게 알림이 뜨나?)

Here we arrive at the typical issue arising from Kor-Eng translations meaning it falls upon the translator to add pronouns to the sentence according to the context as Korean sentences do not rely on their use.

The sentence on its own only contains 왜 - why and 오는거야 - coming so as a translator you have "why ..... coming?" and the rest is self-assumed.

Now looking at the original translation of that account, they self inserted *they all* into the English translations, which heavily relies on being 100% sure from the context that he is addressing multiple people, therefore to avoid any misconceptions typically it is safer and more logical to use you.

*later edit: And moreover it is clear he is directly speaking to the member(s) when he looks back on the screen, even judging from the casual language, so the usage of 'they all' here in the translation is really not accurate.

And then the debate turns to how you perceive the situation and what is more logical. Was he addressing Jimin and Hobi at the same time? The original translator claims yes, from my perspective though and when being in such a situation where you have 1 sec to understand and react when talking to someone, the shortest and most logical answer is he is addressing the last subject of the conversation, which was Hobi. At that point he already acknowledged Jimin's presence in the comments and communicated with him, it would appear very weird if all of a sudden he turned and asked why is it that both Jimin and Hobi came.

This point is something that could be debated from the translator's point of view and could have multiple approaches. Overall, though I find it less likely, I don't find anything bad about Jungkook wondering how the members knew he was live, whether they got the notification. His tone and the overall context does not indicate ANY NEGATIVE CONNOTATION and this is purely a discourse inspired by malice.

Hope I explained it in a way that is understandable. Thank you for your question once again 😊

Subtext Glorious Subtext! A Dreamling on Netflix analysis in The Sandman - Part 2

1389

Now that's one hell of a meet-cute...

One thing I love about the 1389 scene is how Dream in the show is so much MORE of an ass than Dream in the comics. There is no “Why would any sensible creature crave an eternity of this?” in the comic. No, "Do that, and he will be begging for death within a century." The show plays up just how little Dream thinks of humanity at the time, further emphasising the change in him between this time and the modern day.

Deaths’ role in the deal is given further weight in the show. In the comic, she smirks at Hob’s claim that Death is stupid, but doesn’t say much more other than to agree to the game when Dream states it could prove interesting.

The comic implies the deal was Dream’s idea, the show makes it Death’s. In the show, she even states that "This could prove very interesting." rather than Dream, giving her a more active role in the deal. The knowing look from above isn't aimed at Hob, it's aimed at her brother. Death appears to have different expectations to Dream.

I know that we like to joke that Death "set them up" but in all honestly the show does imply that she knows more than she lets on, that she is agreeing to Hob's wish for Dream's sake, and that she has a bigger hand in building their friendship that Dream realises. In the comic this simply isn't the case, and I like how the show has given Death a more active role in the development of Dream and Hob's relationship which will tie in nicely if the show ever gets to Sunday Mourning and Death and Hob's conversation there.

When Dream approaches Hob in the show, this is given a level of intensity and mystery that it deserves. Hob is in awe and his friends are hushed by Dream’s approach.

(Ferdie’s face is a treasure)

I want to mention the choices made in the Audible audiobook here because whilst the audiobook is amaaaazing, by its nature it is played as per the comic, in that it is not an adaptation but a faithful immersive reading. Still, decisions had to be made on elements such as background noise, music choices, and actor line delivery, and quite frankly, the tone given to Dream and Hob’s relationship is extremely different to the show. The audiobook plays this scene as very lighthearted. Hob’s friends are given a larger focal point, more emphasis put on the laughter and the ridiculousness of Hob’s claim to not die. When Dream approaches, he is treated like any other human approaching a group of drunk friends and is invited to join them in their merryment. There is none of the mystery and intensity that comes across in the show. Nothing to indicate Dream’s otherness. Hob doesn’t show confusion, or intrigue, or even too much curiosity towards Dream’s proposition to meet him in 1489, it is clear he views it all as a joke. In the show however, with the camera zoomed in to capture Hob’s reaction, his thoughtfulness, his lingering gaze as Dream leaves the table, it adds a weight to the meeting, like with every exchange in the show, the tonal changes are most important. The close up camera angles showing prolonged eye contact and small smiles emphasises their connection throughout, and supplies an almost romantic quality to the meeting.

1489

Interested in [you] your experience...

The changes in 1489 are subtle. The actors play up the intensity of their relationship (again as opposed to the acting choices made in the audiobook which play Dream and Hob's meetings very casually), and there are several moments that I love which add to the complexity of their show relationship.

The first, is the small misunderstanding when Dream tells Hob he is interested. Hob’s eyes widen, and he asks “in me?” his reaction here is interesting because he appears interested in the prospect of this, until Dream corrects with “in your experience.” It is only then that Hob draws in on himself and asks what he has to do. That additional “in me?” is everything because it adds a layer to Hob’s thought pattern that doesn’t exist in the comics. What could he have been thinking there? That Dream was propositioning him? That he was looking for sexual favours? Perhaps Medieval Peasant Hob had considered the idea of Dream being some Fae Prince who intended to take him off to fairy land and make him his consort (all totally realistic things for a medieval peasant to think of course!) The point is that at least on Hob’s side, it implies a further layer to their relationship and how Hob views it, which continues throughout the centuries.

Hob doesn’t misunderstand Dream in the comics, he doesn’t even question it when Dream tells him he is interested in his experience. In fact he does a lot less questioning in the comic in general.

Show!Hob presses Dream further into giving him more information. He asks him why? He asks why Dream is there. He asks again, who Dream is. Hob’s attitude in the comics is less about asking questions and more about not looking a gift horse in the mouth and just rolling with the situation. Show!Hob is far more suspicious, but also more interested in Dream himself. Even after he has confirmed to Dream that he still wants to live as per the comics, show!Hob still presses Dream to tell him who he is, calling out to Dream as he leaves.

The show also pushes a lot of the other characters and character interactions into the background. There is no old man ranting about chimney’s in the show. Instead, like with all the various time periods, the show devotes everything to develop the building relationship between Dream and Hob, making the background characters nothing more than inaudible background chatter, out of focus, and almost dreamlike compared to the two men who only have eyes for each other. Well, mostly.

Follow on to Part 3 for my analysis of the 1589 meeting! :)

So, on my one episode a day rewatch of Good Omens prior to the airing of Season 2, yesterday was E4, "Saturday Morning Funtime," which is a hard episode to stop at the end of btw, and some ideas I've been percolating for a long time finally brewed up.

One of the most striking things about the adaptation, and why it hooked me so hard (I'd been a fan of the book for thirty years without ever feeling a need to fic about it), is the way Aziraphale and Crowley communicate in modern day. The first two episodes adhere closely to the book. We are introduced to the archangels and Beelzebub and get views of Heaven and Hell setting up the adaptation's characterization of them as competing departments occupying the penthouse and basement, respectively, of God's vast impersonal corporation, as opposed to the original Cold War analog; but otherwise those of us who have already read the book get no new information, just the pleasure of seeing familiar material onscreen.

Then comes the E3, "Hard Times" teaser, all 30 pre-credit-rolling minutes of it, and suddenly that familiar day-long conversation in which Crowley convinced Aziraphale to work with him to balance the antichrist's influences isn't the same one anymore. Suddenly every conversation they have, every communication they make to each other, is a hundred times richer. Because now you know that they talk in code - every conversation is the sort of allusion-dense, shorthand-riddled, blank-filling communication that happens between old friends, married couples, roommates, and siblings who have private conversations in public. Once you realize that "Let's do the Ritz" is a reference to the conversation in the car in 1967 - "You said maybe one day we could dine at the Ritz. Well, time is running out for it - now or never -" and add into it the significance of the revolutionary crepes, and how shared meals operate for them - well, I for one get impatient with fanfic that claims they can't communicate, and wonder what happened with the gravlax in dill sauce that got it into the opening salvo, because you can't fit much of 6000 years into a 30 minute teaser but now I know that every single item on that list of things that'll go whooosh with the earth has its own reference point in their shared past, and every harsh-sounding attempt to parry with the regurgitation of the company line, on Aziraphale's part, is a plea: Make it possible for me to do something about this.

Every conversation is like this. Every conversation has to be like this, because of the fear of surveillance by Heaven. (Crowley's electronics can ambush him at any moment, but he clearly is on a longer leash than Aziraphale; Heaven is the one we see with pictures from the Earth Observation files and each one we see is, indeed, a picture in which they are performing their conversational Dance of Deniability in order to subvert their orders). It is also, of course, a huge convenience, as any couple who has ever won a team game by exploiting their private communication system can attest.

And then it starts to break down at the Bandstand, in the very same episode, as Aziraphale tries desperately to hang onto all his disparate loyalties, dithering and lying to everybody and trying to find a better solution that covers all the bases, including protecting Crowley from his own side. Because if Crowley kills the antichrist, or is responsible for his coming to harm, Hell will destroy him unless an equally powerful force protects him. (It annoys me to see people reading the Bandstand as Aziraphale rejecting Crowley when his agreeing to run away with him would mean abandoning Earth. A lot of things are going on at the Bandstand, but rejecting each other isn't in there, even though breaking up the team is.)

Then next episode it breaks down completely, a panicked Crowley discarding the dance in order to make a direct plea, trying to save what he can from the inevitable destruction of Earth - his car, Aziraphale, and whatever Aziraphale elects to pitch into the back seat. (Of course he intended to drive his car to Alpha Centauri.) No codes, no tempting, none of his serpentine subtlety: he sees Aziraphale on the street outside his shop, screeches to a halt, and leaps out making his pitch for escape. And what does he lead with? An apology.

But Crowley never apologizes.

He never acknowledges responsibility.

Oh, sure, he "exaggerates in memos to head office." He claims credit for all sorts of evil deeds that he may or may not have had any hand in, and accepts his commendations. But from literal Day 1 he is deflecting his responsibility for anything happens, when he talks to Aziraphale; it's the very first element of the conversational dance established. If God didn't want the humans to eat the apple they shouldn't have put it on a tree in the middle of the Garden with a big "Don't Touch" sign and what's so bad about knowing the difference between Good and Evil anyway?

A lot of this excuse making is acknowledging human agency in a way that Heaven and Hell's official policies never seem to. In the "Hard Time" opening Aziraphale accuses Crowley of orchestrating the ongoing disasters in both the French Revolution and the Blitz and Crowley denies it outright - the humans thought of this themselves. In the conversation in the bookshop after Warlock's party he bemoans having been saddled with responsibility for the antichrist and makes excuses about making false claims to his bosses - the humans do these things before he can get around to tempting them, that's not his fault.

Nothing's his fault - pedestrians in London are on the street and know the risk they're taking, he didn't hit Anathema she hit him, "we lost the boy" when Aziraphale knew nothing about the delivery of the antichrist until well after the switch was complete. Before humans even enter the picture, he didn't so much fall as "saunter vaguely downward." When talking to God/himself/his empty apartment about the Fall he "only ever asked questions" and "hung around with the wrong people." Even his declining to be thanked when he does something for Aziraphale feeds into this general refusal of responsibility. He, apparently, has no agency in any of these things.

I've seen meta to the effect that, while Aziraphale lies like a rug to everybody, including Crowley, Crowley lies to everyone except Aziraphale, and that's true as far as it goes. But thanks to the code, when Aziraphale lies to Crowley (except about the location of the antichrist) he's really saying something quite different which Crowley understands, right up until the bandstand, and Crowley's excuses are also incorporated into the code. Aziraphale's accusations of wrongdoing, his pontificating about evil, "get behind me foul fiend - after you" is all ritual. A certain amount of it is probably private joking, in which Aziraphale's stern straight face is the funniest thing of all.

But what's the first thing out of Crowley's mouth in the street in front of the bookshop, surrounded by witnesses, in full view of any Heavenly or Hellish operatives who happen to be around? "I'm sorry, Angel, whatever I did, I apologize." For what? For the bandstand breakup? For being unforgivable? For being a demon, losing the antichrist, not knowing how to save the world, not tempting properly the first time he suggested running off together? You'd think what would seem to be his first ever acceptance of responsibility in 6000 years would be for something specific but nope, he just tosses it out there in the street - an apology for everything, everywhere, all at once.

You can tell the world is ending, because the Serpent of Eden is apologizing.

But Aziraphale, fresh from being mugged by archangels, in possession of truly occult knowledge, is still desperately trying to dance. He still has one last throw of the die to make before he resorts to the killing-the-antichrist-together solution that is so likely to get Crowley destroyed. So he Forgives Crowley, an apparent direct response to a direct plea, but Crowley's not dancing now, he's just desperate and for the first time ever he loses the beat and doesn't understand what Aziraphale is trying to tell him. With Crowley having disrupted the steps, it's possible that Aziraphale doesn't understand what he's trying to say, either, except that this may be the last speech of all and if that's so, he wants to give Crowley the one thing that he by definition cannot have.

Maybe he has tried to stop dancing, too, but no longer remembers how.

So they go their separate ways, Crowley to don his hazmat suit and booby trap a door, Aziraphale to call in the biggest gun of all, while Adam frightens his friends and his Dog to the point of rebellion, and the weather goes weird and everything climbs into the handbasket to go to Hell, but Shadwell rallies to save Newt (and incidentally trigger a subdisaster within the larger disaster) and Anathema decides that y'know, there's worse ways to go out than orgasms with a hapless virgin witchfinder so let's do something fun and life-affirming during the tornado like Agnes predicted, and she can sort out what the implications of that are if there's a later.

It's really hard to stop watching at the end of this episode.

I wonder if I've gotten to the bottom of those conversations yet.

Fic: Pin Me (3/?)

"So, don't take this the wrong way, but I saw you last night."

"You mean when we met?" Laura asks into her cell, grinning at the sound of Travis's voice. She honestly wasn't sure if he was actually going to call. He wasn't her normal type, but there has been something about him that had appealed to her.

She supposes it was the hangdog expression he'd worn at the bar. Sure, a lot of older fellas had that face, but his had been particularly... compelling.

Not to mention it had been a long while since she had noticed anyone period. After she and Max ended things, there had been a few one time flings on the road, but for the most part she'd avoided dating.

Now, however, she found she was more open to it. Probably because Travis wasn't her normal type. It was refreshing, in a way, to actually pursue a man as opposed to a boy.

She was surrounded by boys. Boys who played make believe for a living so much so that they didn't seem to understand the difference between fantasy and real life.

For example, a man, a true one, would call. And while she had doubted he would, the fact he has just proves her point and leaves her feeling delighted.

Delighted until he pauses and says softly, shyly (embarrassedly), "Uh, no...I saw you last night on stage? Or-or I guess you'd say the ring?"

"Oh." Laura tries not to wilt but fails spectacularly, because she's sure she knows where this is going.

Upon meeting him and talking to him, Laura quickly concluded he was not a wrestling fan. Men who were, tended to pick her out quickly, even when she wasn't in costume.

Apparently she'd been incorrect and the truth stung. Even more with his next words, "It sure was... something."

Laura grimaces, prepared for an ugly turn to the conversation only for his tone to take on an awed inflection, "I mean it was...spectacular. Seeing you up there, doing those moves. How do you do it?"

The last is asked with the kind of sheer astonishment she's heard people turn towards firefighters or military men. As if what she does out there is a life risking feat.

And it can be, under the right circumstances,but it's never been something she's viewed as worthy of respect. But the way Travis makes it sound as if it is floods her with pleasure, "Oh! Um. I mean, it's... it's not that difficult..."

The sound of disbelief from him makes her giggle and she beams, "Just some simple gymnastics. I was on the team in middle school and high school. I'd planned on going into veterinary training when I graduated, but a friend of mine suggested the wrestling circuit as a way to pick up some cash over the summer between and, I dunno, I kinda liked it."

"Well it shows. You were something else out there."

"Really?"

"Yeah. My brothers are the wrestling fans. I just went along with them as a family thing. Didn't expect to see you out there - doing backflips and all."

Laura shakes her head to herself, "Didn't you tell me you're a sheriff?"

"Yeah, but it's not an enviable job. Most people hate the police - I take it you experience the opposite, being face and all," At her laugh he suddenly adds (with no small amount of insecurity), "... that's what it's called, right? Chris only told me about a lot of this stuff recently, so-?"

"Yes, yes," she manages between her chuckles, "I'm currently playing a face. I was a heel, back when I was Screamin' Siobhan, but once I moved up from the midcard-?"

"...mid-what now?"

Laura is just over the moon. He really doesn't know! And his genuine curiosity is almost novel. Clearly, it's been too long since she's really struck up a relationship with someone outside the circuit.

She explains a bit about her position in the roster and how far she's come. When she gets to how much and where she's traveled she notices a cool silence and sighs, "Yeah, I...I don't get a lot of breaks. This job is like being in the circus in more ways than one. It's a very transient lifestyle."

"Where are you headed next?"

"Detroit."

"Yeah?" He asks and then, tentatively, "I've always wanted to go to Michigan..."

The knot of excitement that forms in her belly is tangible, "Oh yeah?"

"Yeah. Not to mention, I have been putting off my vacation for or, I don't know, six years?"

"Really? You don't say?"

He just hums and she avoids (and fails) wiggling about in her seat in excitement, "Well, if you happen to be that way on Thursday the fourteenth I might have some free time - what with the show being Saturday night and all."

"Sounds like a date." Travis returns and there's a certain tune to his voice that makes her shiver.

Sounds like a date indeed.

Why there was no sasuke when naruto sasuke & all of the shinobi tried to pull the bijuu out from obito together? Manga on ep/ch 652 i mean this part (look pic)

Note: i also wanna ask another tumblr acc, bcz maybe you'll have different opinion & i already tried to think the answer but nothing came to my mind😭✌

Before I start answering this ask, we need to first understand the way in which this ‘being able to read the other Shinobi’s heart’ thing works. Kishimoto has kind of made this very ambiguous and difficult to understand at times.

We are first introduced to this idea during the VOTE 1 fight. But never really got to see much of this throughout the series. Sasuke and Naruto being the only ones who read each other’s heart completely.

This concept of reading each other’s heart is a bit wobbly because it has never been very explicitly explored in the series. The only times we get to see this happening is only one or two times, and we tend to get very selective snippets of peeking into the concerned Shinobi’s hearts.

For example, the first time in VOTE 1, Sasuke does introduce this concept but we fail to understand anything about it. In fact Sasuke is very illusive when he goes ahead and I quote, says, “You can see what’s in my heart, can’t you, Naruto?” And then we see Naruto’s thoughts, ‘So, in fact it is the truth, you really want to kill me, you are doing it for real. All your thoughts are concentrated on getting rid of me.’

We as audience do understand that some sort of umm... privy to audience, conversation has happened between these two and they can hence read each other’s heart. But then the question arises as to how? Because they are not full fledged Shinobi yet!

And then we get a somewhat clear understanding over here,

We are reminded of the concept once again. But this time with a little bit of more clarity. When Sasuke and Naruto are full fledged Shinobis and they traded blows once again, we are drawn into a separate space, which is most probably an intimate, personal sort of space where two opposing Ninjas could open their hearts to one another.

This entire panel, we are only privy to Naruto’s thoughts. But towards the end when Naruto mentions them being able to read each other, we are again thrown into a loop because,

Naruto goes ahead and commits to some very heavy promises. Which makes us as an audience question, what on earth went on in their ‘mind valley’ (we gonna call it the ‘mind valley’ from now on for easy reference) exchange that Naruto came out so passionate and sure about their deaths. Which once again leaves a huge gap between what was shown (Naruto’s thoughts in the previous few panels) and Sasuke’s lack of any interaction. None of those ‘conversations’ between the two adds up to this conclusion. So, quite a few things privy to us audiences and known only to the two party involved (N & S) had happened in their ‘mind valley’ conversation.

So, once again, we don’t really know how this works.

Now for your ask, @sasukenarutoblog ,

Naruto and Obito are having one of their ‘mind valley’ moments over here. So we get to see some snippets of both Naruto and Obito point of views.

The above picture, (the one you tagged me with), is through Naruto’s memories(Naruto’s p.o.v). Therefore we can see all the Shinobi surrounding Naruto, the ones whom are important to him (which somehow is the entire Shinobi world) at this point.

But there is no Sasuke in here.

On the other hand, when we get to get a glimpse at what Obito is feeling, we find Sasuke, right there, staring up a storm at Naruto. So, this obviously makes the audience go, ‘Where is ur bf dumbass. You forgot Sasuke there.’

No, it’s no such thing. Kishimoto is everything but careless (at least when it comes to N & S). He is very articulate and sneaky.

Yes, these are the memories of Naruto during the end of VOTE 2 where Sasuke gets to see everything Naruto feels towards him. Over here we see this reference again, the whole Shinobi world being precious to Naruto.

But we also have additions, Kushina and Minato. People closest to Naruto, his mom and dad. Ever wonder why it was only Sasuke who got to see MinaKushi and not Obito.

Then we also have this...

Something tailored only and only for Sasuke. That place beside Naruto, the position which proves Sasuke was the closest to Naruto. It was meant only for Sasuke’s eyes. It also helps that the camera zooms in and the rest of the world fades away, it is only Sasuke and Naruto there (the exclusivity of love).

So from all the above informations, I could only conjecture about certain things.

The ‘mind valley’ thing only works when one Shinobi open up their heart to their enemy Shinobi voluntarily (for obvious reasons). And Shinobis being highly trained individuals, who could mask their thoughts and presence at any given time, can also choose the amount of information they are allowing their enemy Shinobi to view in form of these memories (once again for obvious reasons).

Thus Sasuke being absent from the memories of Naruto when they were being viewed by Obito was a very simple fact. To Naruto, Sasuke is very precious, a part of his life and heart that he is very possessive about. He would not show Sasuke (his vulnerability) to just anyone. Sasuke’s importance and presence in Naruto’s world, his life and heart is meant to be known by only one person, Sasuke himself.

Hope this helps! Thanks for the ask.

i’ve seen you mention utsuro not being a system a couple of times and, as somebody who is ALWAYS looking for more headcanons to add to the roster, may i ask why you headcanon this? /genq

oh, why i hc utsuro as a system?? sure sure!! i wrote aaaa… well. a write-up about this but that was forever ago,, funnily enough i think i had a longer/more in depth write up for hibiki being a system (it was p much my belief for what she had in game, her behavior was 100% consistent with did, but anywayyys…), but! i definitely can break down this hc, seeing as it has basis in canon as opposed to, say, my hilarious and amazing idea of what if each of the CoU were systems

(nows probably a good time to note, while i really don’t want to get into sysc0urse, i am. moreso anti-end0. i don’t want this post in those tags, but as someone who’s been in online system communities for 5+ years, i’ve visibly seen how conversations about systems have changed and the damage that’s been inflicted on systems. a lot of beliefs going around are incredibly damaging/help no one; as a result, this theory complies with a… for lack of a better term, traumagen1c reliant understanding of did)

so!! it’s shown to us in the epilogue of dra that utsuro. is extremely traumatized <333. it’s made clear that since he was small, his parents have been behaving in such a way that led to his feeling he was only valued for his fortune. his parents were greedy, cared about material gain; it’s literally said (translations are never one to one but meaning comes across) they “saw their child as a tool to satisfy their desires” and that because of their behaviors, utsuro wound up uncared for and alone.

id say. having your parents view you as a tool for their material benefit, to the degree you couldn’t stay at home anymore, and then having to be all alone and “figure out how to survive” by yourself fits as severe trauma- utsuros age isn’t specified here, but going by the timeline we see with akane, and assuming they’re the same age, he was likely by himself by early elementary-age. this definitely slots in/sets up for him developing did- he’d be young enough his personality was still developing/etc etc yk. things go on, they dont get better; he winds up entirely hopeless, getting everything he wants except for happiness. the degree of... misery it must bring to make the impossible possible, to have anything your mind desires, but never managing to feel happy must be. uniquely painful, and it was Always Like That.

so, since we've established he's got the trauma necessary to have to detach himself in that spicy did-way, let's look at why i think he specifically has did instead of.. any other condition originating from trauma

my main argument for utsuro being a system is the stark difference between yuki, and utsuro. when it comes to the memories that were repressed for the killing game, the most comprable situation to utsuro's is akane's. both were the masterminds, who chose to have their memories repressed, so they could participate freely in the game. ("nyehhh akane's a traitor though!!" you get the point.) So both akane and utsuro repressed their memories, and eventually, regain their memories. now, when akane gets back her memories, she has a new motive, new direction behind her choices, and of course, being driven by a new cause, has different priorities, and is willing to do what it takes to achieve them. she recalls her trauma, and is launched back into survival mode, into protecting whats kept her safe before: utsuros divine luck. she states her service to utsuro is because she's indebted to him, but.. this really serves to reiterate that utsuro is defined by his luck; keep utsuro safe, bring utsuro back, all so the divine luck will return. that's relevant later; for now, back to akane, who, despite now having her memories back, ultimately chooses hope. she's swayed by what happens in the game, by the memories she made.

utsuro gets his memories back. and utsuro is not swayed. akane with her memories repressed recalled, with some accuracy, her childhood. utsuro could not do this; he had an entirely falsified belief, was convinced his beliefs were not true despite them not being able to remember them properly. where akane was able to connect all of her assorted memories, and advance forward, there is an explicit difference between yuki and utsuro. yuki has an entirely different personality, has different memories, and as shown in the bad end, yuki is capable of rectifying his experiences with his past traumas (is able to choose hope at the end), while utsuro is latched onto the beliefs instilled in him from childhood, and rather than adapt to new experiences hes supposedly had (the hope he was shown by the cast), it is core to his identity to stay the way he was. yuki is a introject (specifically a factive) based off of yuuki maeda; he split off due to junko (who gave utsuro new purpose, allowing him to advance past his trauma induced belief that his situation was unchanging), to fulfill the role the body's brain believed they had to take to continue to have meaning. the trauma utsuro experienced at a young age resulted in him struggling with compartmentalizing, and upon splitting, the new alter in the system took on a specific mantle he was told he needed to define.

when you're faced with the choice that leads to the good or the bad ending, you, the player, yuki, are spoken to by another person; another consciousness, within your head. after they chat, yuki is shown a physical representation within his mind, choosing one or the other. a.... physical conceptualized place, wherein you can speak with other identities in your head, including the ability to influence which one is in control of the body. also known as a headspace, which systems have. its... its a textbook example of what a headspace can be like.

to put it all together. utsuro was heavily traumatized as a kid, this trauma never ended, it was constantly reinforced that he only had value because of his luck, leading to him being 100% detached from the world (the ‘utsuros story’ snippet further reinforces my belief that utsuros behaviors, his extreme apathy, feels like dissociation). he develops did, which we see in-game; yuki is a alter split off to serve junkos goals, and doesn’t remember the divine luck, at least, at the point of the killing game (we could say that’s what the memory altering did to him). he gets his memories back, and we see him in headspace, in the true ending, giving front to utsuro. as utsuro hasn’t been in front, and was split off to survive with the trauma of the divine luck, he’s not impacted by the events of the game, and sticks with the mindset thats got him to where he is today, before loosing even that internal will to survive, and dying in the dra killing game

really. it’s just that it fits with what we know of his backstory, and the difference between utsuro and yuki, and how things happen with them compared to with akane, makes me think did/system! chatted with fellow “utsuro is part of a system” enthusiast sorrel of @monorails fame, sea helped me tons with organizing my thoughts and all that jazz!!!!

maybe i should bring back my akane analysis. maybe i should finally break down her vibe with utsuro. hm. anyways! this was a long post and my thoughts jump around a lot so if anything’s too scattered/doesn’t make sense, just send me an ask!!! at the end of the day it is all fun and games and i like to talk so. feel free to come chat!

hi i just thought i’d mention first that i LOVE your blog, i’m fairly new to byler tumblr and you’re the sole reason i feel so enlightened and hopeful now! :D your takes are always splendid. anyways, i wanted to add on to the other recent anon you replied to about how “canon” byler would be by vol 2/s5. it got me thinking and now i’m very positive they’d end on a good note - we’re well aware of the massive build up that’s been going on between mike and will since s1 pretty much and it would only make sense for mike to reciprocate with how he’s written + the conflicts between him and el. i’m very sure it’s likely they could go the route of coming to an agreement of some sort by the end of vol 2 where mike and will recognize they are past being just friends, but also not crossing the established relationship line just yet.

i rewatched vol 1 the other day for more clarity on things i may have missed on the first watch since i am weak for hidden meanings, and a very prominent part of that for me had to be the m*leven fight vs the byler talk. obviously this has been analyzed to the moon and back since the season dropped, so we all know these two scenes very clearly parallel each other. and although they are parallels, it is SO obvious the undertones completely contrast.

taking a look at the mike and el fight, we see how they’re struggling to communicate, mostly on mike’s end in reassuring that he truly loves el in a romantic sense. it’s brought up that this has been a reoccurring problem in their relationship, especially recently. neither of them are being completely honest with each other. of course problems are caused - i believe that was the whole point of their relationship from the start in a whole “never meant to be” kind of thing. their fight really demonstrates how unable they are of understanding one another on a subconscious and intimate level.

this can be compared to the mike and will talk later on, except, of course, it’s all soft and sweet (and homoerotic if i had a say). the mood has taken a one-eighty; we see mike and will being easily open with each other and seemingly more vulnerable as they reconcile as opposed to mike and el. mike and will can read each other extremely easily, and this is made clear with the lines “oh, i didn’t say it” “you didn’t have to” or something along those lines, cuing the soft looks and watery eyes, yadda yadda.

these scenes are alike in the way mike views his relationships with these two people who are arguably the most important to him - essentially, both of these conversations could’ve turned out to be a heart-to-heart, except they weren’t. why is that? the difference with byler and m*leven is exactly this - m*leven just simply isn’t on that level of emotional understanding, which would be odd if mike and el were intended to be endgame. it’s not healthy and it’s not good writing.

all of that introduces the point that mike and will don’t have to go to drastic lengths to interpret how they care for each other. just a look or two, and they’re aware of what the other has to say because that’s how their dynamic is purposely built to highlight just how close they are. and of course mike and el are close, but not to this extent. byler is different, because that’s how they’ve been intended this whole time and more light is finally being shed onto that. having this in mind leads me to believe the more plausible outcome for byler in vol 2 will be presented in a way without pushing the idea that they HAVE to be in relationship for them to be seen as romantic (which is what we saw with mike and el when they quite literally jumped into a relationship after knowing each other for barely a week and a year of separation). it is possible to make it clear for mike and will, as well as the audience (bc most of the straight peers are,, something else), that they are strictly NOT platonic, and i trust the writers in doing that well. whether that be prompted by will’s painting or something else more dramatic or not, i feel like this is the best approach that would satisfy even the GA.

as for s5, that’s when i’d expect them to advance into an actual established relationship, because BOY do they have some things to deal with first. anywho, sorry this isn’t necessarily an ask, i just needed to word vomit somewhere. i hope this doesn’t sound too crazy and delusional PLEASE TELL ME IM NOT CRAZY

ahhhhh YES ANON i love this analysis, thank you for sharing!!!

they really couldn't have been more overt with the byler versus mileven parallels in how they interact and communicate and solve problems together

and i agree--i think season 4 will set up their requited feelings and then season 5 we'll get to see them in an actual relationship, especially if there's a time jump.

thank u for wordvomiting in my inbox i seriously love it lol

I must say I am opposed to that. I mean what is a yanfic without chaos spouting from everywhere. I've read so much genshin yanfics that I've became a little immune to the fluff fics not to say that the writers are at fault as there are many beautiful fanfics out there,plus some fluff here and there is good, but to say that yandere content is my favourite is an understandment, as I can proudly (or not so proudly) say that I've read like 80-90 % of the yandere genshin fics out there and I'm still searching for more so to say that I'm dedicated is not so strong of a word. I went off topic anyway I like the trill,the excitement and most importantly the element of unpredictability that comes from the yanfics, as concepts that you bring helps enriching the fic for example the OCMC fic, never have I ever read a yan!Mafia genshin fic with such creativity as yours and votes thing is a plus one for that. and the sagau Au fic with yandere lumine and dainsleif close view to the life of the reader in comparison to others, just when I thought that there couldn't be anything other to add in this AU you've blown my mind just remembering dain put a smile in my face I'm glad I got someone to simp with for him, it's sad that there so little yandere content for our dear traumatised twilight sword , he is my favourite character and I hope hoyoverse will grace us dain's simp with some little crumbs in the coming update and hopefully he will become playable, like the scaranation got their favourite little gremlin we dainsnation will continue to survive on hopium till he comes.

On another note would you mind teasing us a little about that got chosen in the event. And if I remember correctly you don't know who to chose for kazuha, is there is there is another idol that you got a little tricky to mach with some anons and if yes do you mind disclosing?

If you're still sick I hope you get better, get some rest and stay hydrated 😊

Snippet draft of chap 2 (gonna drop this here just in case I won't finish the fic t-t, I want someone who appreciates it to see it.):

"Cut it out, Alberich." Dainsleif quipped.

The Bough Keeper finally found himself a seat and invited himself in. He shot a quick glance your way, looking for how bad your reaction was. You were more indifferent than what he expected. Kaeya grinned. He quietly thought the situation sounded like a build up for a great joke.

Three Khaenri'ahns walk into a bar…

"Oh, sorry old Capt'n– that seat is taken.'

Dainsleif glared, scowling at Kaeya's obviously fake patience and sympathy. "Stop lying."

"I'm being serious. I reserved a seat for my dear brother, you see, and you're interrupting."

Dainsleif looked at you, hesitating on whether he should argue that if he was saying the truth, then you would also be intruding. He opened his mouth, before shutting it.

He closed his eyes and hummed. Of course, Dainsleif wouldn't do anything to slight your hono–

"... Then aren't they also interrupting?"

He pointed at you. Your eyes widened, and so did Kaeya's.

"Oh? OH?" Kaeya gasped dramatically. "You're… actually talking back against them? Against Your Grace?"

"Unbelievable…" You noted, your throat still strained.

Dainsleif scowled and took your glass.

"You're not drinking."

You gripped it back, quick and unrelenting, subsequently making your hand wrapped around his. You glared.

"Don't get cocky, Twilight Sword."

"I wouldn't if you weren't so reckless." He said. "For all your years of rumination, you still haven't learned a thing or two about self-defense. Or even how to take care of yourself."

"Oh?" Kaeya couldn't help but let out some monosyllabic responses. He watched as the two of you fought over what is technically the drink he paid for. It felt like he was missing half of the conversation even though he's at the front row seat of everything.

"We dueled, and Lord (Y/n) lost."

You sent him a dirty look. Snitch. Braggart. Asshole.

"I'm not the one who brought a sword to a dagger fight."

"A sword and a dagger are all but weapons. What matters most is the determination of those who wield it."

"All I hear are excuses, you cheat."

"You didn't exactly warn me that we'll be crossing blades."

"Horseshit. I threw a glove at y–"

"Sorry, I'm blind in my left eye. Corruption and all."

You stiffened and his retort effectively silenced the table like a spell. Kaeya stole his shot back and sipped it, not looking at the both of you. Your shoulders fell and you subconsciously covered your mouth. Shit. You didn't know that.

Dainsleif sighed, laughing humorlessly.

"I'm only joking... Of course."

-----------------------------

Okay now back to me simping

I went "OH MY GOD HYSHUM APPRECIATION AAHHHHH" in a yell-whisper dhsjsksoa •́⁠ ⁠ ⁠‿⁠ ⁠,⁠•̀ JDISOSK OKAY I'M SORRY I'M JUST VERY HAPPY TO SEE A FELLOW DAINSLEIF SIMP UWUWUWU–

Anyways I'm putting a read more here because it is too embarrassing to have people go "you are so unhinged for dain" so I'm just gonna put this here lmaolmaolmao

There we go. Anyways–

HE'S MY FAVORITE (obviously, ansy.) BUT UNFORTUNATELY NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE LOVE HIM AS MUCH AS WE DO (⁠ ⁠≧⁠Д⁠≦⁠) I LOVE HIS VOICE IN ALL LANGUAGES LIKE KENJIRO TSUDA??? YURI LOWENTHAL– PLS I ADMIT I DON'T KNOW HIS KOREAN AND CHINESE VAS PART WORKS BUT THEY ARE BOTH SO 😩👌👌

JEIWO I AM SORRY I LOVE THIS MAN A LOT JSKSKAKAIA I'M ACE AND I JUST RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT YEAH, I DO ACTUALLY WANT TO UNIRONICALLY KISS DAINSLEIF AND MY FRIENDS ARE FRICKING MAKING FUN OF ME FOR IT (⁠ᗒ⁠ᗩ⁠ᗕ⁠) SORRY I JUST. UEISIS. I MIGHT EVEN LOVE HIM MORE THAN DIMITRI AND UH OH THAT'S NOT GOOD–

Hysteric Humanoid is actually the most fave fic I've written while "No" - Albedo is the most personal one. I just adore the idea of a reader who's stuck with a guilty yan who thinks they're protecting them by not following their instructions.

Also, I just don't think EVERYONE would love you if you're reincarnated as a creator– much more if you're the "impostor." I just don't think it's a realistic expectation, so I was planning on having people like Ayato, who knows you're the creator AND STILL HATES YOU lmao. Sadly, a dainsleif fic just doesn't get attention *sigh* doesn't mean I love him any less, but if writing other characters is what makes people happy then I'll selfishly keep dain to myself lololol <3333 luv him so much it hurts sometimes. Yandere!Dain is always described as someone so reluctant BUT WHAT IF HE WAS FERAL HUH????? WHAT IF HE BREAKS MY LEGS AND TELL ME NOT TO DO ANYTHING STUPID??? WHY NOT???? WHY N O T??? IDC HYSHUM!DAIN IS A SARCASTIC MFER WHO JUST DOESN'T LISTEN TO CREATOR/IMPOSTOR!READER ANYMORE–

Oh i forgot to explain why "no" is the most personal lolol. I think it's kinda obvious but this is the only reader i wrote that i actually relate to and based most of my struggles with. Not cuz I'm an albedo simp (funnily enough, I'm not that into him) it's cuz I was not feeling mentally well and writing this fic helped me a ton. That's why I kinda laugh bitterly when I see comments that that reader is really complex because yeah. That's supposed to be a character that's similar to me huhu. But I'm glad I also saw some others go "omg i see some similarities between this reader and i" because it makes me feel less alone in a way

Hol tf on why am i telling you this dusisosoa this is what finding a fellow dainsleif simp does to a mfer–

Anyways I hope you enjoyed the HysHum crumbs 🌠 anon I'm sorry for dumping that on yOU HAHAHAHA IF IT HELPS I'M NO LONGER IN "THE BIG SAD" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

MLWTBB: First Time For Everything

aka the (continued) journey into my self insert nonsense✨

chapter summary: after going back to Ord Mantell, Hannah and the Bad Batch meet with Cid to discuss what happened on Hosnian Prime, and Hunter asks Hannah a very important question.

notes: this is a continuation of my story, “My Life With The Bad Batch”; I highly recommend reading that first before this one! I created a few new planets for this story. I’m also not 100% versed in SW terminology, so forgive me if some things are labeled incorrectly! each chapter will be rated accordingly, as opposed to the overall fic. lastly, there is romance in this story. hope you enjoy! 💙

add. notes: this chapter was edited and proofread by my sis @jam-n-ham! thanks sis!! 😋💙

Chapter 15, 2700+ words, rated G (mentions of alcohol, otherwise pure fluffy goodness plus the usual awkward romance stuff 😜)

previous chapters: Prologue - Chapter 1 - Chapter 2 - Chapter 3 - Chapter 4 - Chapter 5 - Chapter 6 - Chapter 7 - Chapter 8 - Chapter 9 - Chapter 10 - Chapter 11 - Chapter 12 - Chapter 13 - Chapter 14

next chapter

✨MLWTBB masterlist✨

______________________________________________________________

The familiar sight of a rusty red-brown planet eventually came into view, signaling the Marauder’s return to Ord Mantell. Hannah had almost forgotten how lovely the planet looked considering how different it was on the surface. But like she’d said before, there were aspects of her new home that she genuinely enjoyed, which gave her a sense of comfort when they finally touched down in the city.

It was late afternoon by that time, with the sun barely an hour away from setting. The sky was a beautiful bright orange that nearly matched the color of Hannah’s skirt and sleeves. As she stepped out of the Marauder, Hannah took a minute to just relish in the moment. She was home.

“I truly never thought I’d miss this place so much,” she admitted out loud.

“Compared to Hosnian Prime?” Echo asked as he came up next to her. “I don’t even know you anymore.”

Hannah laughed and playfully conked him on the arm.

“Hey, this city may be a mess,” Wrecker butted in. “But it’s got good food! And Hannah’s apartment is actually real nice now that we’ve helped her fix it up!”

“Yes, the various knick-knacks we’ve given her, along with the renovations and alterations, have resulted in a pleasant place for all of us to enjoy,” Tech added.

“Honestly?” Hannah began with a shrug and another laugh. “At this point, I think it’s as much your guys’ place as it is mine.”

“Is that bad?” Hunter asked.

“Not at all,” Hannah replied with a giggle. “I’m only sad I don’t have more rooms so you guys could stay there permanently.”

“It’s fine!” Omega exclaimed. “I like it just the way it is!”

“You would say that,” Hannah said, ruffling Omega’s hair. “You get to share a nice, cozy bed with me!”

“Yeah,” Wrecker added, pouting a bit. “Lucky... uhh, about bein’ in the bed, not bein’ in the bed with Hannah! Which wouldn’t be bad either! But that’s not--”

Hunter stopped him before he said anything else, which sent Hannah and Omega into a fit of giggles.

As they all began to leave, Omega pulled Hannah back to quietly ask if she’d seen Hunter’s helmet yet. Hannah was confused by what that meant, and Omega clarified by tapping the right side of her cheek.

“Oh, that!” Hannah chuckled awkwardly. “Well yeah, I...” Her eyes went wide a bit, and she leaned down further, whispering, “Wait, is it still there?”

Omega giggled and cupped her hands around Hannah’s ear to whisper the news about Hunter painting on the lipstick mark. It made Hannah’s eyes bug out, and her face went into a full flush. She stammered a bit and said, “w-what does that mean?”

“Uhh, what do you think it means, sis?” Omega cheekily replied.

Hannah said nothing else and bit her lip to keep from screaming. She was definitely going to have a conversation with Hunter later now.

The walk to Cid’s parlor felt very akin to when the Bad Batch had first brought Hannah to Ord Mantell. All of the boys had formed a sort of barrier around her, while Omega stuck to simply walking beside her, hand in hand. The entire time they’d been on their mission, Hannah had felt like a princess or other noble being escorted by her royal guards. But then again, that’s kind of how her relationship was with them in general. She enjoyed it immensely, but at the same time, she continued to wish the roles were reversed. Or at the very least, she could be on equal ground with them.

When they finally reached the stairs to the parlor, Hannah asked who wanted to go first and be the one to break the news to Cid. The others looked at each other for a moment, then without saying anything, Hunter started heading down the stairs.

“I don’t know why I even asked,” Hannah commented with a chuckle. She followed close behind him, with Omega tailing her and the others following suit.

Everyone filed into the familiar neon lit parlor and were immediately met with the sight of Cid sitting nearby at the bar.

“Well, if it isn’t Madame Eldya’s new favorite posse!” Cid exclaimed, throwing her hands in the air.

“Ahh, I assume that means you’ve already spoken to her?” Tech asked.

“Oh, we spoke alright.” Cid went on to say that Eldya had told her everything that happened and was more than pleased with the idea of doing business together in the future. “You have no idea how big this is for me. For all of us. You boys did good.”

“It wasn’t just us, Cid,” Hunter was quick to reply.

“No, I’m well aware. Eldya barely mentioned all of you, actually. She had plenty to say about my fancy lookin’ bartender here, though.” Cid gestured to Hannah, instantly causing her to blush and turn sheepish. “I’m surprised she didn’t try and take you for herself, honestly. Not that she would’ve been able to.” She looked between each of the Clones, who were all giving Hannah the same adoring look.

“Alright, alright,” Hannah said, waving the others away and trying to quell her growing blush. “That’s enough attention for one day.”

As thanks for everything they’d done, Hannah offered to make drinks for everyone, her treat. Unsurprisingly, there was a resounding positive response, which amused Hannah greatly. While Hannah prepared the drinks, Cid pulled Hunter aside for a moment.

“Gotta admit, you really outdid yourself this time, Bandana.”

“It was nothing, really,” Hunter replied. “Besides...” His gaze drifted back towards Hannah, who was laughing at something Wrecker had just said. “Hannah’s the real MVP. She had it harder than any of us.”

“Believe me, I know,” Cid responded. “That’s what I’m talkin’ about. I told ya to take care of her, and you did. Plus,” she gestured towards Hannah. “Look at her. I’ve never seen her hold herself so well. I dunno what you boys did, but well... I think her face says it all.”

Hunter said nothing else and kept his eyes fixed on the woman in question. Cid was right. The way Hannah was carrying herself, even the way she was speaking to everyone... it was the way he’d always seen her. The person he knew was inside her all along. And hopefully, the person who she would remain going forward.

Then Cid approached Hannah with a look of what could only be described as that of a prideful parent. “I’m real proud of ya, Red. You keep that head of yours focused, and you can do anything, just like I told ya. Nothin’ in this galaxy can stop you except your own insecurities. Don’t ever forget that.”

A few tears began to form in the corners of Hannah’s eyes, but she managed to hold them back. “I won’t. Thanks, Cid.”

For what felt like the first real time ever, Cid gave Hannah a genuine smile. “You know what?” She reached up and patted Hannah on the shoulder with one of her clawed hands. “You earned more than just money for this. Go ahead and take the rest of the week off. Free of charge.”

Hannah’s eyes went wide and she let out a small gasp. “Oh my gosh, really?”

“Don’t question it, or I might change my mind.”

Unable to contain herself, Hannah quickly leaned down and gave Cid the briefest of hugs, thanking her again profusely.

Cid tried her best to remain stoic, but a small smile still spread across her reptilian face. “Yeah, yeah, alright, you’re welcome and all that. Like I said, don’t make me change my mind.” And with that, she left Hannah with the Clones for the rest of the evening. She could already tell things were going to get too rowdy for her liking; plus, she’d experienced more than enough pleasant emotions for one day.

“Well,” Hannah collectively addressed the Clones. “You heard what Cid said. I’ve got the rest of the week off, so you know what that means!”

“Uhh, it means you don’t hav’ta pull your hair out again for a while?” Wrecker questioned.

Hannah laughed hardily. “Well yes. Buuuut I was thinking of something even more enjoyable than that. Something that involves all of us together.”

Omega suddenly let out a small gasp. “Do you mean...”

A smug look spread across Hannah’s face as she awaited the rest of Omega’s sentence.

“Sleepover?” Omega’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.

Hannah’s smug look spread into a wide grin as she nodded towards Omega. “Sleepover.”

Immediately, Omega and Wrecker both shouted excitedly. It had been a little while since they’d gotten to stay over at Hannah’s place and sorely missed it. Hannah herself was also excited about it and joined in the mini celebration.

“Ya sure you’re alright with us comin’ over?” Hunter asked.

“Of course!” Hannah responded. “Why wouldn’t I be?”

“Just makin’ sure you aren’t sick of us yet.”

Hannah let out a snicker. “That’s never gonna happen.”

The signature soft, fond smile that spread across Hunter’s face was all he needed to respond with.

“Alright, well, I guess you guys can come upstairs whenever you want,” Hannah once again addressed all the Clones. “I’m gonna go on ahead right now though; I have got to change out of this dress.”

“Had enough girliness for a while?” Echo snarked.

“More than enough,” Hannah responded with a laugh.

As she started to leave, Hannah suddenly felt one of her boots catch a raised edge of the floor, and she began to stumble. Thankfully, Hunter was nearby and stepped in front of her to catch her before she fell. “Oh, whoops!” Hannah exclaimed as she nearly fell onto Hunter. “Sorry! I’m not even wearing heels this time!” Her face began to turn a bit red, but she was able to laugh it off.

“That’s alright,” Hunter replied. His grip on Hannah’s arms remained until she had fully straightened herself out again.

“Thanks,” Hannah said, smoothing out her skirt a bit.

“Of course.”

A fond smile easily rivaling Hunter’s grew on Hannah’s face, and she let the moment linger just a few seconds longer than it needed to before she began heading for the exit again.

In that moment, something inside Hunter began to stir. Feelings he’d been trying to repress were coming to the surface once again, only this time, he wasn’t sure he could hold them back. All he could think about was that tender moment between him and Hannah in the grand assembly. How she had run straight into his arms and let him hold her so tightly. The look she’d given him when he pulled her face back so gently. The feeling in that short moment, like they were the only two people in the entire galaxy.

Oh, how he wished for that feeling once again.

A small presence suddenly caught Hunter’s attention in his peripheral vision. Omega sat on one of the bar stools, staring at her brother intently. She seemed to know exactly what Hunter was thinking, and wordlessly, she encouraged him to do the thing he’d been wanting to do for so long now.

Hannah had reached the bottom of the stairs by then. Time was running out.

It’s now or never, Hunter thought to himself.

“Hannah, wait!”

The sudden shout startled Hannah a bit, and she turned back towards Hunter with a puzzled look on her face. “Yeah, what?”

“Umm...” Hunter’s heart began beating so fast, it felt like he’d just run a marathon. “Well... I...”

The puzzled look on Hannah’s face remained, but she was also watching him expectantly.

“Would... would you...” Hunter let out a sigh that sounded more like a groan. “That is... do you...” He sucked in some air through his teeth and braced himself for whatever was about to transpire. “Do you wanna... do something?”

One of Hannah’s eyebrows deftly raised, and her lip curled up into a half smile. “Do... something?”

“Yeah.”

Still clearly puzzled, Hannah’s eyes shifted a few times before she spoke again. “Like, what exactly?”

“I dunno,” Hunter replied with a shrug. “Whatever you wanna do.”

There was a brief moment of silence before realization began to spread across Hannah’s face, her eyes slowly widening as she spoke. “O-oh so, you mean... like... just...”

“Just the two of us.”

It briefly looked like Hannah was starting to have a heart attack. One of her hands gripped the side of the doorway, and her eyes were practically popping out of her head. It looked like she could barely breathe. Eventually, she was able to respond, albeit it still sounded like she was struggling to breathe. “Y-yes! Yeah! Ok!” Joyful laughter erupted from her throat. “Yes, we can do something! Absolutely! Oh, umm...” She took a moment to catch her breath and once again gave a puzzled look. “When exactly? Like, when should we do it?”

Hunter hadn’t even thought of that. He was barely able to process what was currently happening at the moment. “Uhh...”

“Now?”

“Sure,” Hunter said with another shrug. “If that’s what you want.”

Once again, Hannah erupted into joyful laughter. “Ok! Yeah! Ok!”

Seeing Hannah so overjoyed caused Hunter to laugh a bit as well. “Ok.”

“Yeah...” Hannah’s face had now morphed into a dreamy state, and she stared at Hunter for a moment before snapping back to reality again. “Oh, uhh...” Her face tilted down, and she pulled at the edges of her skirt. “I still gotta get out of this dress...” Her attention went back to Hunter again. “Uhh, meet me by the stairs in a bit, ok?”

Hunter had entered into his own dreamy state and simply replied, “ok.”

“Ok... yeah ok.” A massive grin spread onto Hannah’s face, and she went into a brief fit of giggles as she began heading up the stairs. “Oh wait!” The upper half of her body peeked around the corner of the doorway. “Uhh, you should change too. Don’t stay in that armor. Put on your civvie outfit, I like that one. Ok, see ya in a bit.” Her excitement could audibly be heard inside the parlor well after she’d disappeared from sight.

Once she was gone, Hunter was suddenly hit with the weight of what just happened. He was also hit on the back by Wrecker’s massive hand.

“Ha! I knew you could do it!” Wrecker said encouragingly. “Took ya a while, but ya finally did it!”

Hunter let out a small chuckle. “Thanks.” Suddenly, he felt himself become extremely lightheaded and began blinking slowly. “Uhh... Room. Is. Spinning.” He managed to hobble over to one of the bar stools and sat down, holding his head in his hands to try and calm down. Omega could be heard giggling beside him.

“Well, I’m just glad I don’t have to get involved anymore,” Echo plainly stated. “I mean, I love you guys, really, but do you have any idea what it’s been like tryin’ to get this to happen? I was about ready to shove you both in a closet or somethin’.” He shook his head and took a sip of his drink, letting out an exhale of relief.

“Echo...” Hunter reached over and placed a hand on his brother’s arm. “You have my permission... to never do that ever again.”

Echo chuckled softly and patted the hand on his arm. “Yeah, we’ll see how tonight goes and determine it from there, brother.”

Tech walked behind the counter and began refilling his drink, as well as Hunter’s. “There’s no need for concern, really. After all, it’s not like he’ll be spending the evening with a stranger. He knows Hannah as well as any of us, if not better. And I’m certain she’s the same with him as well.”

Omega perked up and said, “You said it for me, Tech.” She hopped off her stool and came over to Hunter, placing a hand on his arm. “It’s like I said before. You have nothing to worry about, Hunter. It’s just Hannah.”

Just Hannah, she said. Hunter knew what she meant, but he also knew how important this was going to be for the both of them. And he especially wanted to give Hannah an experience that she deserved. That’s all he wanted. Or at least, that’s what he told himself.

No matter what, he was going to give Hannah an evening she would never forget.

LIGHT OF LIFE 263

John 1:4

CULTURE & TRADITION 29: WHOM SHALL WE SEND 10?

1Pe 1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that YE WERE NOT REDEEMED WITH CORRUPTIBLE THINGS, as silver and gold, FROM YOUR VAIN CONVERSATION RECEIVED BY TRADITION FROM YOUR FATHERS; KJV

2nd point: If you are speaking at all, by the will of God, please ensure you speak the profound and undiluted truth; never “cook up” lies or fabricate or add to the truth about what or whom you are decrying over evil.

Don’t even denounce anyone based on your own personal view of his sin. Read this:

Joh 8:26 I HAVE MUCH TO SAY ABOUT YOU, much to condemn you for. THE ONE WHO SENT ME, HOWEVER, IS TRUTHFUL, AND I TELL THE WORLD ONLY what I have heard from him." GNB

Now, coming from Jesus, this is very intriguing: that “the one who sent me is truthful…” implies that what I personally have to say or condemn in people may be lies and twisted or sentimental.

Wow! May we please, by this rule, never trust our own judgments about anybody but seriously hear from God?

Eze 18:4 SEE, ALL SOULS ARE MINE; AS THE SOUL OF THE FATHER, SO THE SOUL OF THE SON IS MINE: death will be the fate of the sinner's soul. BBE

In the final analysis, none of us has any form of exclusive rights to talk to anybody anyhow; everyman belongs to God and even the man you are sent to condemn may repent and be saved next instance.

Rom 14:4 WHO ARE YOU TO PASS JUDGMENT ON ANOTHER’S SERVANT? BEFORE HIS OWN MASTER HE STANDS OR FALLS. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand. NET

We all have to be conscious of the fact that God really wants to save every soul, if they repent.

2Pe 3:9 This means that, contrary to man’s perspective, the Lord is not late with his promise to return, as some measure lateness. But rather, HIS “DELAY” SIMPLY REVEALS HIS LOVING PATIENCE TOWARD YOU, BECAUSE HE DOES NOT WANT ANY TO PERISH BUT ALL TO COME TO REPENTANCE. TPT

Remember we saw how God forgave even the Ahab He seriously wanted to destroy.

In fact, this repentance of Ahab was not profound, as we see next Chapter, where he finally died, yet God was “moved” by his momentary penitence and delayed the destruction on his family till after Ahab died.

1Ki 21:29 DO YOU SEE HOW AHAB HAS MADE HIMSELF LOW BEFORE ME? Because he has made himself low before me, I will not send the evil in his life-time, BUT IN HIS SON'S TIME I will send the evil on his family. BBE

Our father in heaven is an enigma. It sounded as if He was convincing Elijah to understand why He has to forgive Ahab; as though He can’t stand seeing someone broken and not be touched.

Heb 4:15 For we do not have a high priest who cannot be TOUCHED with the feelings of our infirmities, but was in all points tempted just as we are, yet without sin. MKJV

Psa 34:18 THE LORD IS CLOSE TO ALL WHOSE HEARTS ARE CRUSHED BY PAIN, AND HE IS ALWAYS READY TO RESTORE THE REPENTANT ONE. TPT

This was why Jonah ran from God and very reluctantly carried out his assignment to Nineveh: he knew God will forgive them and stop His intended penalty as soon as they repent.

He hated that about God.

Jon 4:2-3 So he prayed: Our LORD, I knew from the very beginning that you wouldn't destroy Nineveh. That's why I left my own country and headed for Spain. YOU ARE A KIND AND MERCIFUL GOD, AND YOU ARE VERY PATIENT. YOU ALWAYS SHOW LOVE, AND YOU DON'T LIKE TO PUNISH ANYONE, not even foreigners. Now let me die! I'd be better off dead. CEV

I wonder if Jonah was saying that he preferred that God is always terrible and mean over the sins of men.

Would he himself survive if God was as tough as he surmises?

We all have extended families and many of them with Demonic Traditions. Does any of us ever wish that they all die and waste away?

2Ti 2:25-26 HE MUST BE GENTLE IN CORRECTING THOSE WHO OPPOSE THE GOOD NEWS. MAYBE God will allow them to change the way they think and act and lead them to know the truth. THEN THEY MIGHT COME BACK TO THEIR SENSES AND GOD WILL FREE THEM FROM THE DEVIL'S SNARE SO THAT THEY CAN DO HIS WILL. GW

Ultimately beloved, God sees that men are under addictions and demonic bondages that war with their minds and won’t let go easily.

The probable reason why men will yet be eternally punished if they don’t get released from satanic strongholds is because men sought to be entangled through lusts.

Jas 1:13-15 Whenever you feel tempted to do something bad, you should not say, "God is tempting me." Evil cannot tempt God, and God himself does not tempt anyone. YOU ARE TEMPTED BY THE EVIL THINGS YOU WANT. YOUR OWN DESIRE LEADS YOU AWAY AND TRAPS YOU. Your desire grows inside you until it results in sin. Then the sin grows bigger and bigger and finally ends in death. ERV

Even so, God seeks penitence and total turnaround of every soul, from evil unto Righteousness.

It would be noble of you beloved, if before you go and deliver that message of God’s judgment, you labour in prayer first, that God will have mercy and soften the person’s heart and open the eyes.

Amo 7:4-6 THE LORD SHOWED ME THAT HE IS GOING TO SEND A BALL OF FIRE TO BURN UP EVERYTHING ON EARTH, including the ocean. Then I said, "Won't you please stop? HOW CAN OUR WEAK NATION SURVIVE?" Again the LORD felt sorry and answered, "I WON'T LET IT BE DESTROYED." CEV

Yes, some persons or people will definitely be destroyed without plea, but that must be God’s prerogative, not ours.

While we have the voice to condemn their sins, we can plead for them first.

Luk 23:34 And Jesus said, “FATHER, FORGIVE THEM, FOR THEY HAVE NOT KNOWN WHAT THEY DO”; and parting His garments they cast a lot. WEB

May God’s mercies keep us above all offenses and use us to draw men out of theirs, in Jesus name, Amen.

Come back on Friday for more digging into this intriguing subtopic.

Keep Shinning!

Brother Prince

Tips for Writing A Good English Composition | PSLE Tuition in Singapore

WRITING A GOOD English COMPOSITION

English composition is known as a fundamental writing skill you can use anywhere, anytime! The Oxford dictionary defines composition as "the way something whole or a mixture is made up together." Everything is composed of other things, and so is English composition. A composition arranges several ideas so that the readers can understand the ideas in writing. In most English classes, compositions can be called essays, reports, presentations, or term papers. The composition can also mean the activity of writing, the nature of the subject of a piece of writing, or the piece of writing itself.

In English composition, you learn how to "compose," or put together these different elements to clearly communicate in writing to the readers. The result is that you learn to write persuasively, logically, and in as few words as possible at a level at which your target audience can easily understand the content. In this process, one will learn how to organize your writing so it flows logically. There are four classical types of composition description: narration, exposition, and argumentation. Each type has a distinct purpose and pattern of organization to create good content. These compositions are the major portion of the PSLEEnglish syllabus. Students should have a clear idea when writing a composition to score marks. PSLE English tuition inSingapore provides an online class for students to teach them the right way of writing compositions.

What makes a good composition?

As we all know, the foundation of any good academic essay is its thesis statement. Do not confuse your thesis with your opening sentence in any piece of writing. There are many ways to start a good composition, but few essays initially present their main idea of writing. After you draught your thesis, you can begin to develop your composition around it. This development will include the main supporting points of your composition, which will form the main body of the writing. It also typically includes a relevant and compelling introduction and conclusion.Types of composition

Description

The main objective of descriptive composition is to present a subject with enough details for a reader to imagine what the subject is like and how it goes. For example, an essay about a place often called a travelogue, which provides specific details about a location's food, architecture, music, and history. To create a description, an essay should present an overview first and later slowly get into the subject and the specific details to add more creativity.

Narration

The word "narrative" itself says that this type of writing is like narrating a story. A composition’s narration comes from its storytelling style. Some movies and plays use a narrator to explain what happens at the beginning of a story or what happens between scenes. Writers usually tell an autobiographical story about what happened to them by relating events from the first-person point of view in their writing.

Argumentation

An argument is a form of composition that sets forth a case that makes an assertion about a debatable topic. A writer will research what others say about a topic and will respond in a reasonable way in his writing. Often, argumentation compositions include opposing arguments, called counterarguments, to increase the strength of an assertion, such as a conversation between the characters. Argumentative writing can be arranged from the weakest to the strongest or most persuasive point to build up the argument in further writing.

Parts of a composition

English composition is majorly divided into five parts, or paragraphs, to help beginning writers learn how to organize their thoughts into writing. These parts include:

● The introduction paragraph sets up the composition's premise and usually presents the writer's thesis. A thesis is the main idea, the assertion of a writer about a topic in the beginning. And the three paragraphs of support explain in detail why the thesis is reasonable.

● The concluding paragraph is the one that wraps up the composition.

The five-part essay is intended to help the writers plan their research, organize their thoughts, and present their final written composition. The five-part essay is used to help writers understand how to provide uniqueness in a composition. Because many topics are too difficult to discuss in five paragraphs, this structure also provides the writer with a foundation upon which to build a longer, more fully developed composition.

Six tips to writing a better composition

Keep a vocabulary notebook

Using the right vocabulary is an essential element of writing English composition. When you make an effort to expand your vocabulary, you will be able to pick accurate words to take your writing to the next level. Instead of finding new words and forgetting about them, it’s a good idea to make a note of them in your vocabulary notebook. Doing this helps you remember the meanings of new words, and you can also use them in your composition writing. So, give yourself a target to learn at least ten new words every day, which you can note down in your notebook and take step by step in building a solid vocabulary for your writing.

Reference

Research forms are the first step in writing any kind of composition. The better the quality of your research, the better the quality of your writing. At a time when we have access to a wide range of data, it’s important to evaluate research sources carefully and only refer to credible ones when you select. For example, Wikipedia is not the only reliable source and should not be attributed while writing a composition. It is important to read published journals, research studies, scholarly papers, academic databases, and encyclopedias published within the last 10-15 years to be updated in writing. It’s also important to assess the credibility of the author while evaluating any of the sources.

Draft a basic outline

Once you’ve done your research, don’t rush into writing. Take a moment to draught a basic outline for your essay and organize your research, findings, recall, and plan accordingly. Working on a basic outline lets you approach the essay in an organized and proper manner. It serves as the skeleton of your paperwork while ensuring you’re not missing out on any information and that your points flow logically throughout. Most essays are categorized into three steps: introduction, body, and conclusion.

Grammar rules

You may raise interesting and important points in your essay, but poor grammar disrupts the reading experience and should be avoided at all costs. Be careful when adding punctuation; check your sentence formation; avoid passive voice as much as possible; and know the difference between adjectives, adverbs, nouns, and verbs, which is very important in writing an English composition.

Write with clarity

You might be tempted to use complex metaphors and jargon to impress the reader, but the truth is, none of that guarantees "good" writing, and it depends on the situation. One of the most important ingredients of effective writing is clarity and assurance. A writer will never want their reader to be confused while reading a composition. Try using simple words and don’t repeat the content. Rather, explain the concept clearly. Because clarity in writing only makes the composition stand out among others.

Reread the composition

Finally, make it a point to proofread your composition multiple times to ensure you have covered all the aspects, added references accurately, and not made any silly errors in writing. It’s a good idea to read your composition out loud so you’re able to identify errors and awkwardly formed sentences easily. You should also get a friend or family member to read your essay because they will be the best people to spot mistakes or discrepancies that you may have overlooked in the composition.

hi hi, in your ask ‘cause of a tagged post and wanted to say i disagree about people going on “crusades” when it seems like (unless i missed a post??) people want others to draw/write what they want for the listeners (i do agree the whole ’not *the* listeners, *your* listeners’ thing is silly tho like lol the latter part is implied automatically) but just tag/note so they can decide to engage or not. but anyway, i scrolled your tumblr and found a few things i agreed with (xavier being introduced just to die, the consequences of inversion where 1500 people died not quite being at the level that would be expected of an event like that for major characters, the feeling that all antagonists need to be like 100% bad). it’s the first time (other than a youtube comment here and there) i’ve seen someone be critical even a little of redacted’s work and i’m fascinated lol! i don’t agree with everything on your tumblr lol but but i’m wondering what you would you change about a couple of plots or characters that bother you rn (for me i would chill on the ‘every time alexis is mentioned it’s something immensely negative’ like she can’t be 1000% all bad can she?? there has to be a reason she’s still a major part of the clan and inversion would have taken out a character we actually know maybe or had xavier actually be a major or major supporting character for awhile first; not a writer tho so idk).

I use the term “crusades” from the history of this fandom to get riled up over something very inconsequential, but now that I check again, in my exhausted stupor I mistaked posts from one person for multiple people. I’ll apologize for that at least.

I’m surprised I’ve been having more people on here that don’t act like I want Redacted burned at the stake. I get mad at him sure, but really, it’s not that big of a deal. To be frank most of the things on my “sin list” aren’t things I’m that mad about, it’s more the culmination of them altogether. I’m just venting. Thanks for being so open to conversation. I expected more anon hate when I started posting here, but I digress.

Alright. Anon. You have done it. You have unleashed the floodgates. My third critiquing eye has opened and the planets have aligned. Hell as we know it is freezing over as I type. You have triggered a rant that is far too long and that I had to go back over to add commas in. I guarantee I missed something because that’s how long it went on. I didn’t have any ideas for specific future events in any storyline but I did go over the flaws in his writing, why they were flaws, and how to correct them in the future in a bullet-pointed list. You’re welcome.

Absolutely stop treating Alexis like she’s pure evil. As you’ve said, if it was truly that much of a problem, I don’t understand why the king would keep her around in the first place. The way Sam described his turning also gave me no indication that she turned him out of malice as opposed to concern. She doesn’t need to become a major character, but she needs to stop being brought up as if she’s Adam.

(I’m reading over this response and I want to add that from a character’s point of view of their own trauma, yes, they might 100% villainize and hate whoever caused that trauma. There’s no need for someone to forgive whoever traumatized them that badly, but there’s also a possibility to show a character’s maturity or growth by having them come to an understanding about why someone took the actions against them that they did. For example, I hate the people in my life who have abused me in the past, but I also understand that they were abused themselves, or I was just a person readily available to lash out against. It doesn’t mean I forgive them, the effects of my trauma have been healed, or that their actions were okay. It means I understand that they are people struggling through their own lives like I am. This is a very difficult conclusion to reach but is a remarkable sign of maturity. I’m in no way perfect either and I struggle reaching that point just like anyone else. Just look at my blog, I clearly have anger issues.)

As for other villains, a simple way to portray grey evils is to give them aspects that may be otherwise seen as “good.” They don’t have to be saints, but they may have specific biases you wouldn’t expect of someone bad. To pull up a possible idea for Quinn, perhaps something traumatic happened to him that left him on the streets and he began his nomadic lifestyle in order to help others who also were/feel ostracized from their families. He began helping strays or getting homeless people to shelters and picked up people along the way to help him. That doesn’t sound very “evil” does it? Then we could either have him on a “went mad with power” route, or we could say that the friend of Darlin’s that he killed violated a very personal rule or idea to him, and it resulted in that friend’s death. What was the violated rule or idea? Was it severe enough to justify that friend’s death? This could be as severe as killing someone or being framed for it versus maybe turning their back on a person in need. Was the friend’s death an accident and Quinn ran away without explaining himself, or Darlin’ won’t allow him to?

If attacking Frederick and Bright Eyes was still canon, that alone could be considered a grey area depending on how you go about it. Aside from his trespassing, vampires are made to prey on humans. Is he considered evil for not drinking from them “politely” or is he simply being a vampire and feeding himself? Humans don’t exactly ask for consent when killing wild animals for food, so is what Quinn did much different? That’s a very blurry area that could be debated, and there’s no true “right” answer to it.

This is an example of making a villain “reasonable.” Another I can think of is Vega, who is a compelling character that overstepped his boundaries and twists truths into ugly realities. Demons are also meant to feed on humans, albeit in a different manner, but was it right of him to trap people in an endless cycle of torment for a food source? On the one hand this is resourceful, and on the other this doesn’t take into account his two victims as individuals. His idea is reasonable if you break it down, but the manner he goes about it could be considered going too far, especially as what is established in canon law, which is what makes him a villain. He’s not wrong, but he’s not right either.

As for his more “pure evil” villains, for the love of God, if the fandom doesn’t see a villainous character as pure evil, he doesn’t need to make them worse. Despite how loud a certain portion of the fandom is, it overall was still fairly divided over Kody’s situation. Making a realistic allegory to sexual assault is a very heavy undertaking, and I applaud his desire to want to handle it properly in reference of real life college atmospheres. However, that attempt still failed in the end since about half the fandom didn’t see it as severely as he attempted to make it. Instead of ending this storyline where it seemed to have properly needed to end, he chose to continue it and made Kody be antagonistic where he didn’t need to be in order to make him seem more like an “evil” character. This was not only unnecessary since we already had the Inversion taking place as our major conflict that could break into several smaller conflicts, but it also seemed like a desperate attempt to make up for something he failed to do previously. He should have simply left the plotline alone and forgiven himself for the mistake, learned from where he failed and where he succeeded, and taken that knowledge with him to the next storyline. This same thing goes for incorrectly portraying “good” characters too.

If Redacted decides to have another major event like the Inversion, he needs to remove a major character for it to be impactful. While I would say he should kill them off, he doesn’t necessarily have to if he’s worried about the fandom reaction. Ivan didn’t have to die for his storyline to end. The impact would be heavier if a character died, but he could still “fake” a death and reveal in an Aftershock equivalent that they lived, but there’s some circumstance removing them from the major storyline. I’m not exactly sure if 1500 people can be considered a large or small number since we don’t know how many people were in that situation. However, if it was a large amount, then that number is probably too low, if it was a small amount, then there’s little chance every single major character and listener left that event nearly unscathed.

I said in another post to stop with the “political messages” and I realized later that it wasn’t exactly what I meant to say. Again, venting, my bad. A better way to word it might be “let characters be flawed, make lasting mistakes, suffer consequences for them, and work towards improvement.” He did this more in the beginning, and I genuinely can’t tell you why he might have changed this without making assumptions. In recent history, Redacted has been including talks about consent where they shouldn’t be and immediately covering up any possible conflict between the characters and their listeners. The prime examples I can provide of this, or that made me the most peeved perhaps, are what I added in the list about Geordi and Vincent.

In Geordi’s case, it feels inappropriate to begin his storyline eliminating a potential conflict that would likely be very prevalent with the characters involved. Which for this portion is Geordi and Cutie who’s a telepath. Rather than showcasing the characters and their potential plotline, at least to me it felt like the highlight of his first video was this conversation about “consent” when reading his mind. I’m in no way saying that this is bad, and let me say this for anyone who may happen across this post, I am in no way saying that including discussions about consent or boundaries is a bad thing. It’s more the fact that it was inappropriately placed from a narrative perspective. Anyways, this could have been a building conflict between the two where Cutie kept reading his mind, and maybe even just a video or two down the line, then he comes to them about the consent talk. Redacted could possibly expand on this by having Cutie slip up or put them in situations where they must read Geordi’s thoughts in order to communicate with him when he may not be able to “consent” to it. That could open the door to a major conflict that is readily within reach of the characters and has had prior content to build up to it. In Vincent’s case, Redacted once again threw away an aspect of conflict with Lovely being turned, which was Vincent’s ability to invoke them and lie to them. The king’s ability to remove these being ridiculous aside, this is another situation that could be built on with Vincent learning to control his ability to invoke or simply trying not to lie to Lovely. He could have slipped up in a video where he tells a small lie and apologizes, then tells the full truth. This would have been a much better method of portraying Vincent as caring and trustworthy, and would have probably been more endearing for people to listen to Vincent trying to make Lovely comfortable until telling the truth becomes natural for him. Aside from a conflict where Vincent lies to Lovely about something major happening, such as Quinn hurting Sam or some other major event we may learn about later or through other characters, there’s also the possibility he uses his ability to invoke to save them. The king saved Vincent by forcing him to drink blood, and Vincent could be forced to save Lovely in a similar manner despite his guilt for doing so. It could be making Lovely drink to parallel the moment with Vincent, or it could be something else entirely. Something minor could be making Lovely move if they’re paralyzed in fear, something major could be forcing them to injure or kill someone in self-defense. In both Geordi’s and Vincent’s scenarios, these actions are by no means okay just because their breaking of “consent” or other promises helped someone. That doesn’t mean Cutie or Vincent are villains for taking those actions, they were navigating a situation in a way they best knew how and it got them out of it alive. I’m no expert, but this is how characters, in this case the “good” ones, are generally portrayed as grey. They can still be considered “good” while saving the day in a manner that could be considered “wrong.” Despite my complaints of it, I liken this to Avior’s current situation where he messed up by hiding Starlight’s memory loss from them and is trying his best to explain himself and indirectly promise to better himself from his mistake. (Depending on how Starlight approaches their questioning of him, there’s a 50/50 chance of them forgiving him realistically. If I were in their situation, I would at least need some time away from Avior to think things through, but I again digress.)

These talks of “consent” or being in the “right” have come to my attention specifically because of the inappropriate placement and the elimination of conflict as if to play it safe. I find it difficult to believe that every single vampire in existence has been turned with consent, and delving deeper into that concept opens up a lot of very uncomfortable realities as a result. It’s ludicrous that vampires are somehow absolved of fault by asking a person on the verge of death if they’re willing to completely abandon their old lives in return for having to drink blood, live in the night, and live for eternity, expecting a response made in desperation of survival to be equivalent to consent given with a clear mind. In a way I can understand Sam’s reasoning for having this mindset, and in another I can understand that Lovely is already familiar with the concept of being turned and a vampire’s lifestyle, but these instances don’t come off as characters acting on past experiences or past knowledge. They come off as Redacted saying “consent is important.” Which is a good message, but these situations are far more complicated than simply “obtain consent before doing.”

Similarly, I don’t find Avior calling himself “manipulative” as something that his character would say. He didn’t even seem to act on those past events that happened before Starlight lost their memories to be considered “manipulative”, even from an outside perspective. At most he’s a liar that’s been hiding that fact from them, and that’s how I would expect this character to describe himself as. Maybe this is up for debate, but describing him “manipulating” Starlight as opposed to “lying” to them sounds more like an author’s words than a character that’s in that story, this idea being emphasized by other important but inappropriately placed messages Redacted has made. As for my bit about Frederick’s story being removed, I’ll refrain from talking about the reasoning I mentioned in the list since it’s more of a crude assumption.

Looking over everything again, I can add that if a character has a reliable support system, they shouldn’t be acting like their trauma from 20 years ago happened yesterday. At most, I’ve witnessed people with “resolved” trauma be mildly sensitive to discussing it, and the most sensitive on an “anniversary” of the cause of it. Both Vincent and Sam discussing their trauma sound as if they’ve been alone with no reliable person to help them work through their thoughts and emotions on those events, which makes the king and his clan sound distant and unavailable. The king’s interactions with Vincent as a reliable and supportive mentor, and Vincent and Sam's bond like brothers, feel completely forced when you take into account their reactions to those past events. These topics would undoubtedly have come up at some point and have been talked about with other characters, which would lighten the reaction they would have presently. This is probably the result of certain characters only being added in at a later time, and simply not enough forethought put into how the relationships between these two characters and “background” characters affect how they react to certain past events. In short, a lack of worldbuilding. This is still something Redacted could keep in mind for the future though.

For the last point I believe is a major aspect of Redacted’s to improve, here’s my thoughts on Darlin’s story. It boils down to the fact that Darlin’ in their story is constantly chastised and has their agency removed from them. Them hunting down Quinn’s scent is revealed to be a “blood bond” outside of their control. Sam chastised them for acting on their own and getting hurt as a result, and proceeded to chastise them for not having any food, or otherwise being bad at self-care. (This might be more of a personal opinion, but that particular video felt more to me like Sam was scolding a disobedient teenager than showing passive-aggressive affection for a potential love interest. You can imagine how uncomfortable I felt with the rest of those videos.) David and Sam’s follow-up conversation did not progress Darlin’ and Sam’s relationship. David then chastised Darlin’ for acting on their own and seemed to make it more about himself and the pack than about Darlin’, which again robs Darlin’ of their agency and puts their actions in a bad light. Another way I can put this is that there’s no middle ground conversation for Darlin’s behavior, it’s only them being punished for it like a misbehaving child and they don’t do it again. (Similar to how Bright Eyes was constantly put down with no middle ground, but their storyline was removed before their conflict could be expanded on.) There are no opportunities for Darlin’ to look powerful or independent that aren’t put down by other characters, which renders them being portrayed as horribly incompetent instead.

From a writing standpoint and not an emotional one, this plotline is a train wreck. I would say it’s up to par with other ASMR videos, which render listeners incredibly stupid and lacking any sort of agency, but I expect more from Redacted given every other listener he’s created. While not entirely in control, they still have a good amount of control over their narratives, which makes them more solid as individual characters. The fact that the fandom still takes away the idea that Darlin’ is powerful I would chalk up to their fascination with the idea of the character, and the emotional “manipulation” of hearing the characters’ voices, which is a far different experience from analyzing the story writing itself. I will admit, Redacted is a fairly good voice actor.

As for all my other points, I would say those are more trial and error mistakes that could be fixed as he went along, or otherwise tie back into my points above. I will add that the fandom certainly puts a lot of words into Redacted’s mouth, and more often than not are those words entirely obscured. Trying to dig for the truth doesn’t help my frustration with him, especially as he continues to make very questionable writing choices, but it’s not his fault his fandom lacks the ability to critically engage with his content. It is his fault for encouraging it.

I will say at least, that regardless of my personal opinion of him as a person (that being, he doesn’t exactly come off as someone I would find pleasant to be around), he has a lot of potential as a writer. If anyone sends this his way out of malice against me, include this sort of tl;dr message: Redacted has written a lot of mediocre but fun moments and a lot of great ones too. He’s got the potential to be a fantastic writer, and he’s got great ideas that could be shaped into a very memorable world. However, he’s only hindering himself by cutting out conflicts, doubling down on portrayals of “good” and “evil” characters, and playing it safe seemingly out of fear that his writing would be taken the wrong way. I believe even the most visceral reactions outside my own have assumed the best intentions from him, and I think he needs to similarly forgive himself for his mistakes, learn from them, and continue on while still taking risks and trusting in his own vision. If he finds himself written into a corner or his portrayals go the wrong way, he needs to either work with what he’s made or try to conclude it the best he can and try again with another story. Using retcons and cure-alls will not help him grow as a writer, and writing only fluff will hamper the impact of any major events that come in the future, nor will the actions of characters in those events likely make any narrative sense.

On a more personal note, he doesn’t have to be so concerned about “torturing” his fans with plot. He should be well aware that his fans are sensitive to all of his content, and over-exaggerate a lot of their reactions whether out of being frankly ridiculous, or just generally having an excited outburst from their enjoyment. While I won’t tell him to not be careful with his content, he can absolutely write impactful stories with gritty conflicts without being grim and dark all the time. Just look at the roots of his channel. There is a way to satisfy both people who want an actual plot and people who want a comfortable set of videos to relax to. However, he has to build up to those stories for that impact to be real. I’d say that he does drop bits of lore in his videos, and has done bits of foreshadowing here and there, and that’s just a skill that needs to be worked on to be perfected. That being said, he needs to stop expecting perfection from himself every time.

Redacted. If you won’t take it from the people who worship the ground you walk on, then take it from the crankiest person in this fandom: you do not need to be perfect. I’m not mad that he fails, I’m mad that he’s continuing to fail and sabotaging his own efforts. If he’s that concerned, then he should find people to critique his writing. Not people close to him or anyone from the fandom either, as that’s basically recruiting yes-men which, politely, he does not need. If he keeps trying to walk on eggshells, he will attract an audience that requires and expects that from him constantly, and no one can withstand the immense pressure that places on them forever.

This has gone on far too long. I’ve been writing this post too long and I probably missed some things too. As you can see, there’s a lot I’ve been wanting to say, and I just want to personally sit down with Mr. Redacted and hand him a mug that says “World’s Okayest Writer” and maybe on the back it says “for now.” Anyways. I’m done. If you need me to elaborate or actually talk about future events, anons are open. I’ll try my best to be civilized. Goodbye.

3. if you are confused on anything, please don’t hesitate to message me since i know this whole thing is so confusing.

“Where the hell is Fushiguro, right now?” you muttered under your breath as you swiftly ran around the extremely large building you were currently in right now after trying to run away from Kyoto student: Kamo Noritoshi, who seemed too adamant to catch you for some odd reason.

At this current moment in time, you were desperately trying to find your partner after instantly splitting up with him when you both had entered the building causing you to become concerned for the shikigami user since his opponent didn’t seem to be holding back. Even though in the back of your mind, this was your one and only opportunity to go and find the curse you needed to exorcise for your school team to win the first day of the Exchange Event, you knew that the second that Kamo could sense your curse energy leave the premises, he would turn away from his battle and chase you down leaving Fushiguro the role of trying to locate you - which was going to be difficult for him.

Digging into your skirt pocket, you quickly pulled out a fist that had a few pink petals that you had kept after you had used some of them to attack Kamo earlier before gradually transferring some of your cursed energy within them. Slowly, you processed to open your palm letting the same blush coloured petals begin to glide into the air allowing them to travel down the hall you were running through right now causing specks of your cursed energy to be located everywhere they moved to lead your opponents to be somewhat confused about where you really were right now.

ꕥ

“Your team partner seemed to be the smart type,” Kamo mentioned as he turned his head to look behind him since he slowly began to sense the chaotic flow of cursed energy that was beginning to vastly surround the building right now as he was quickly struggling to locate the original source of the cursed energy that he needed to find, which was you.

“She’s always been the smart type, it’s quite scary in my opinion,” Fushiguro commented before raising his tonfas in a defensive position before taking the time given to him to try to locate where you were before giving up the second he tried once his discovered how immense your cursed energy was flowing in the building right now.

‘What the hell? How does she do that?’

Hastily, Fushiguro lunged himself forward as he attempted to attack Kamo leading his opponent to block his hit before suddenly retaliating, only for Fushiguro to defend himself quickly as well. However, it seemed as if both sorcerers were not going to give up as easily as a continuous row of attacks commenced between the two causing them to travel backwards and forwards along the hallway they were in right now.

Suddenly, there was a violent contact with the backs of their wrists leading Kamo to proceed to swiftly turn his body to the side of the opposition as he forcibly thrust his palm out towards the shikigami user causing Fushiguro to use his remaining tonfa to block his attack causing his weapon to snap in half as well as him being pushed back to the other side of the hallway where he first stood.

Staring down at the now tattered wooden weapon, Fushiguro casually threw it to the side leading Kamo to begin to spew out with what was currently running through his mind.

“Shikigami users who can fight this well in close combat are precious, you’ve improved. I’m happy,” Kamo expressed with an impressed tone, leading Fushiguro to unexpectedly cringe at the amount of time you had beaten him up during the past two months of training you both had together.

“What is this sense of fellowship you keep throwing out?” Fushiguro asked in an irritated tone since he wasn’t in the mood to converse about anything to do with the clans at this moment in time.

“I’m sympathising, someday you’ll be one of those supporting the major clans, well maybe the four major clans if the L/N remained after the Heian Era,” Kamo suggested, causing the erratic-haired sorcerer to look at the opposition with a deadpan expression painted on his face.

“Gojo doesn’t even support the clans even though she is in the Gojo clan,” Fushiguro reminded Kamo leading to the sorcerer in front of him to shift slightly as if the news to him was surprising at all since it seemed as if you and the strongest sorcerer was ‘close’ despite the joking tension between you both.

“I intend to kill Itadori Yuji,” Kamo suddenly announced, as if that was not known to everyone within the Tokyo team right now.

“On Principal Gakuganji’s orders? So why chase after Gojo?” Fushiguro questioned, as he was still perplexed on why the blood manipulation sorcerer would go after you if his main priority was to eliminate his friend and classmate.

“No, it’s my personal decision. As a member of the Kamo clan, one of the three major clans, I believe that’s the right call,” Kamo answered before going silent, as if he had something in mind currently before he began to voice his opinion once again, “you should be able to understand that, too,”.

“Sorry, but I really don’t get it at all”

Suddenly, Kamo unexpectedly left something lightly slice his cheek slightly causing him to turn to view what was behind him to notice that you were standing there with your armed raised up, leading him to turn back forward to discover your katana piercing the wall that was behind Fushiguro (who looked at you with widened eyes) as your teammate managed to move his head to the side in time before your weapon pierced him instead.

“Oh, I missed,” you commented as you noticed a hint of blood escaping from his small wound, before using your other hand to violently pull the invisible chain of your katana back like a boomerang leading Kamo to swiftly dodge the weapon this time, while being surprised on how you had managed to retrieve your sword back without moving an inch towards it.

“What do you mean? You, me and Fushiguro are the same,” Kamo then declared, causing you to give him an extremely offended look from behind before turning to the side as if to convey to the sorcerer that you weren’t going to listen to him anymore.

“No, we’re not,” Fushiguro replied with an annoyed as well as fed-up expression on his face, as he didn’t expect his opponent to say something as weird as he did right now.

‘He’s spouting some scary stuff all of a sudden...and couldn’t Gojo warn me about this little attack of hers?’

“We are,” Kamo responded, only for Fushiguro to retaliate back leading you to turn your head back to the conversation with a slightly vexed look since you didn’t want such a stupid discussion between two descendants of the three major clans to go on forever like this.

“We’re not, please save those discussions for Maki-san. I no longer have any connection with the Zenin clan,” Fushiguro informed his opponent causing Kamo to turn to you as if you would try to have an understanding of what he was trying to carry out.

“Remember, I don’t actually have any connections to the Gojo clan, I’m not related to them by blood and even if Gojo-sensei adopted me out of the blue,” you explained to Kamo while raising your hands up like you were surrendering when really you were trying to avoid any topic to do with the clans overall.

“Besides, I don’t believe I’m ‘right’. No, sorry. That’s not right, I don’t care if I’m right or wrong,” Fushiguro commented as he looked down towards his raised hand with a softened expression to which caused Kamo to turn back to the shikigami user.

“I just...have faith in my own good conscience, I save people according to my own conscience. If you would reject that, then...we’ll just have to curse each other,” Fushiguro suddenly declared, as a wave of cursed energy began to surround him causing you to sudden be on guard since you didn’t know what your classmate had prepared.

Unexpectedly, a shikigami frog appeared from the side causing you to prepare yourself in an attack stance in case Kamo decided to move towards you, to which he did turn to face you only for the same shikigami to dissolve into the shadow it had come from leading Kamo to open his eyes in shock at the common but smart strategy that the younger sorcerer had come up with.

“This one burns through cursed energy, so I can only use it by itself. I only recently tamed it,” Fushiguro explained before positioning his hands in front of him as he prepared the next shikigami that he was going to summon.

“Max elephant,” the shikigami user announced before the shadow below him began to merge into the shape of a pink elephant leading you to look at the animal with widened eyes as you didn’t expect such a large shikigami to appear right in front of you.

‘What the hell?’ you thought, as the elephant’s cheeks began to swell up while Kamo began to position himself into an attack position. However, it seemed the elephant was going to attack first as a suddenly sprouted out a massive wave of water that could fill up the ocean, causing you to yell out in shock before quickly deciding to stab your katana deeply into the ground to have something to hold on to as Kamo quickly swept into the mass of water leading to the wall behind to break.

“Maybe tell me when you are going to attack, you drag!” you yelled out to your classmate in anger as he rushed next to you causing your partner to look at you weirdly since you were kind of being hypocritical at this current moment in time.

“Just jump across to attack him while I use Nue to corner him!” Fushiguro stated to you in a serious tone, leading you to nod at him before launching yourself forward towards the sorcerer with your katana blade facing the opposite direction it was supposed to since you didn’t want to critically damage your opponent.

Behind you, Fushiguro interlocked his thumbs before fanning out the rest of his finger to represent wings as he swiftly summoned Nue into the battle leading the bird-like creature to strike him with lightning, paralysing Kamo for a second before he suddenly reached into his uniform to slowly reveal a bag of blood to which he then proceeded to throw the object in your direction, causing Nue to bump into you as if to move you away from the item as the blood bag quickly exploded causing the shikigami to be trapped within what seemed to be a rope of blood.

However, you could not let the sudden event faze you as you proceeded to place your foot to the side of the building you were pushed against before thrusting yourself downwards with extreme force to attack Kamo while Fushiguro dashed towards the same opponent to do the same thing.

“I can’t afford to lose!” Kamo screamed as he began to lung forward towards Fushiguro.

Suddenly, a large explosion destructively echoed behind you leading you to reach to the ground with one hand before riskily twisting the same hand to make your body spin before you quickly landed of your feet to the ground causing Fushiguro to look at you with a worried expression before all three of you peered up above to see a vast structure of what seemed to be wood, growing ever to rapidly in the air.

“What is this?” Kamo questioned in a panic before Fushiguro noticed someone running along the tiles rooftop from above.

“Inumaki-senpai?!” Fushguro yelled out in an alarmed tone causing you to look to the side to see your senior classmate running in what seemed to be incomplete adrenaline and fear.

“Run-away!” Inumaki spoke, causing his voice to ring out to everyone as they realised that it was his cursed technique that was occurring right now, causing your bodies to instantly run away from the mass destruction that was occurring right now.

“Huh?” Utahime muttered as she stared at the how red flamed paper talisman while everyone in the room with her peered at them with the same surprised expression.

“The game’s over? And they all burned red?” Utahime questioned as the flames quickly extinguished themselves leading to a large volume of smoke remaining.

“That’s odd, my crows didn’t see anything,” MeiMei commented.

“I’d love to say Great Teacher Gojo’s students exorcised them all, but…” Gojo mentioned as he placed his hands together as if to tell everyone in the room that he was thinking of another solution that might have caused this issue as all the screens in front of them now became static.

“The charms will burn red for unregistered cursed energy,” Principal Yaga informed everyone.

“You think it’s an outsider? Some invader?” Utahime queried, as she turned to her colleague with a concerned expression on her face.

“Does this mean Tengen-sama’s barrier isn’t functioning?” MeiMei then asked, but it wasn’t answered as Principal Gakuganji made a comment.

“Whether it’s an outsider or not, something unexpected is happening all the same,” he mentioned before wondering how this intruder was able to exorcise the semi-first-grade he had planted in order to assassinate Itadori Yuji.

“I’m going to Tengen-sama, Satoru and Principal Gakuganji, please protect the students. Mei, you stay here and identify the locations of the students, stay in constant contact with the other two,” Principal Yaga instructed everyone.

“Fully understood, I look forward to the bonus,” MeiMei mentioned, as she turned her head towards the sorcerer trying to convey that she was willing to follow his instruction with a price to pay.

“Come on, Gramps! Time for a walk! You just finished your lunch, didn’t you? I don’t want my daughter injured with you being slow!” Gojo stated in a light but playful tone as he clapped his hands twice to get the elder’s attention, leading the mentioned sorcerer to become silent and annoyed at the Six-Eye shaman.

“Let’s hurry!” Utahime mentioned as she was becoming worried about the time they were spending on talking in the room they were in rather than going out right now to help the students that were in trouble.

Running forward, you couldn’t help but notice how the branch that was behind you was still extending leading you to quicken your pace as everyone turned to the right, only for the same branch to twist itself in the same directions causing you to come to the conclusion that it was either a skilled curse user or special-grade curse that was the cause of it.

‘Did the mole tell whoever is doing this the location of the event?’

Although, before you could come to another conclusion on who was the mole within the group of Kyoto students, you suddenly heard Fushiguro gasp leading you to snap out of your thinking daze to see a large number of branches breaking through the wooden door that was in front of you leading to a vast volume of debris to rushingly come towards you to which caused you to over your face, allowing the veil that was processing to drip down above you to engulf every student at this current moment in time.

Once the huge mass of debris cleared itself, you noticed the change in colour around you before you turned your head towards the mass of branches in front of you with what seemed to be a curse standing on top of its masterpiece as if to showcase its sudden appearance.

“Why is there a cursed spirit at Jujutsu Tech? Who does this veil belong to?” Kamo asked rapidly, as his head was tilted up to view the intruder in front of him.

“Probably the curse user working with the cursed spirit,” Fushiguro answered, as he too was looking at the curse in front of him leading Kamo to question his knowledge about the situation in hand, while Inumaki let out a cough, causing you to worry about his condition right now since you didn’t have a single clue on how much he had used his voice in the current situation.

“There are a few unregistered special-grade cursed spirits roaming around Japan right now, probably this one was the one that attacked Gojo-sensei before,” you informed the sorcerers in front of you as you slowly began to remember the silly little drawing your adoptive father had given you when you first met with the Kyoto side’s principal.

“Tuna with mayo,” Inumaki commented as he waved a hand to signal a phone leading Fushiguro to agree with his upperclassmen as he proceeded to pull out his phone to contact Gojo, while Kamo commented on how Fushiguro could understand his classmate at all since he was still perplexed on how the Toyko students could even convey with him as well.

‘Why does it only look at me…?’

Yet, it seems as if you weren’t concentrating on their little conversation as you kept an eye on the curse since it seemed to be staring at you for some odd reason, leading you to tightly grip the hilt of your katana, as you now shifted your eyes down to make sure your fellow sorcerers (who were in front of you right now) were safe for the time being.

“That doesn’t matter right now,” Fushiguro mentioned, as he placed his phone to his ear. “Maintain our distance and retreat to Gojo-sensei- '' Fushiguro then explained, but before he could finish his sentence, the curse swiftly moved behind Kamo before proceeding to break Fushiguro’s device from his hand.

“Don’t move!” Inumaki yelled out, leading to the curse freezing in its position before attacking Kamo, leading everyone to keep a distance away from the special-grade curse.

Suddenly, Kamo grabbed another bag of blood that he kept hidden within his uniform before letting it explode once again as he began to maintain control of the red substance. “Blood Manipulation: Slicing Exorcism!” Kamo yelled out before swinging the blood shaped shuriken towards your opponent, only for the curse to be left unscathed leaving the sorcerer to be surprised at the outcome.

Before the curse could even react, Nue suddenly appeared above you before flying downwards towards the special-grade curse with the same purple lightning you have gotten used to before Fushiguro suddenly swept in close to slash the curse with a sword he was hiding within his shadow like you had taught him to within the first week of training. However, it seemed that the katana’s dent that was made only healed as quickly as it appeared causing Fushiguro to tut in complete annoyance.

“.nerdlihc hsiloof, ti potS,”

“Stop it, foolish children,” the curse suddenly said, causing you to grab your head in surprise as you didn’t expect the curse that was in front of you right now to communicate to you at all since you didn’t have a clue on what it was saying but you somehow could understand it.

“I merely wish to protect this planet, that’s all,” the curse then explained, causing you to prepare your cursed energy to flow from your hand to your katana since you now knew that you needed to use your cursed technique to keep the others safe - yet you didn’t know how you could conceal the risk of being discovered.

“It’s a curse spouting nonsense! Don’t listen!” Kamo exclaimed intensely.

“This is on a whole different level than lower-grade cursed spirits,” Fushiguro then commented to Kamo as if it was obvious enough to everyone that was around that opponent at this current moment in time.

“The forests, the oceans, and the sky, all weep so vehemently that I can no longer stand it. It’s impossible to coexist with humans any longer. They know there are some humans who are kind to the planet, but how much does their affection even help?” the curse declared as it raised its head up to the sky as if it was speaking to a whole nation.

‘It somehow established its own language system...and somehow manages to communicate with us…’

“All they desire is time. This planet can shine blue once more, given a bit of time,” the curse spoke again before a sudden twist of branches appeared right behind the curse leading everyone that was in front of it to be on guard as the sudden impact that caused the ground to shake was evident enough on how dangerous this opponent was.

“Gojo Y/N...You can’t run, the veil is designed to keep you trapped within here...We need you for what is going to commence,” the curse suddenly declared causing you to look at it with wide eyes while all the boys turned to you with panicked expression painted on their faces since they were now concerned with your safety more right now than theirs.

‘I don’t know how long this curse spell will last, but I need to make sure it is enough to let everyone run before it can reach them’

“Is that so? Ah..what a drag,” you then asked, as you raised your katana up in the air with one hand as you gradually began to transfer a large amount of cursed energy within the blade. “You see, I began to notice that you seem to be a plant type of curse, I assume...something like wood right?” you rhetorically asked, before using your other hand to cover your mouth with the back of it to conceal the next few words that were going to come out of your mouth.

“Destructive Curse Spell number fifty-four: Haien,” you whispered before a sudden flame began to engulf the metal blade leading the boy to look at your weapon in astonishment at how wild the flames seemed to be due to the amount of cursed energy you had placed within the same blade. “So...why don’t you just burn to death them, would you?” you threatened in a low tone causing the boys to dash behind you before you swung your katana downwards to allow the flames to wildly and uncontrollably burst out in front of the special-grade curse leading to the building behind it to begin slowly extinguishing with the massive flames.

Turning around, you grabbed the fabric of Fushiguro’s and Inuamki’s uniforms (while yelling at Kamo to run) before using your strength as well as a hint of your cursed energy to violently push them forward away from the flames before running towards the same direction with them since this was the perfect opportunity to make a dash for it without any of the boys getting injured or harm in the process.

‘Whoever is responsible for the veil...is going to die..’
