My second day at Forks high school started much smoother than the first. It was pretty much uneventful until I decided to eat lunch alone outside on the picnic tables in the quad. It was an overcast day much like all the others and maybe a little chilly, but still decent enough since it wasn’t currently raining. It made for the perfect condition being that no one else really wanted to eat outside.

That is, until I spotted none other than Jasper Hale headed in my direction.

“Mind if I join you?” He asks, pointing to the opposite end of the table I’m currently occupying.

“Not at all.” I respond, idly tidying my area self consciously.

“Sorry, sometimes it’s a little overwhelming inside and I come out here to get away.” He says by way of explanation, laying down the sketch pad he carried with him along with a few pencils and a smudge stick. “Mostly I just come out here to draw uninterrupted.” He sits and flips to an empty page, tilting it a little away from my view.

“I get it, large crowds aren’t my thing either. Plus in the two days I’ve known Emmett I can already tell that he probably creates a hostile drawing environment.” I finish with a light chuckle, turning my attention toward the unfinished apple in my hand.

“You draw too?” He asks, eyebrows lifting as he begins a rough sketch on the blank paper.

“Oh heck no, I don’t have any artistic abilities like that, as much as I wish I did.” I frown, taking a bite of my apple.

“I didn’t think I had it in me either, but I took some classes, watched some videos online, and doodled around a lot. Finally got the hang of it although I still don’t really think I’m that good.” He trails off, concentrating on his pencil strokes. “It helps with the stress though, especially when there’s a lot going on.”

“That is… actually kind of neat. Having an outlet that’s also inspiring, creating art and it centering you in the process.” I muse out loud, watching a face beginning to take shape on his paper.

I’m about to ask who he’s drawing when the bell signaling the end of lunch rings out in the empty air surrounding us. I gather my trash and stand while he tucks his supplies away.

“Thanks for keeping me company today.” I tell him as I gaze into his beautifully golden eyes, not quite ready to part ways with him.

“Thanks for allowing me to disturb your peace and quiet.” And as if reading my mind, “Mind if I walk you to your next class?”

“Oh um, sure.” Trying not to seem too excited by the proposition of spending more time in this gorgeous boy’s presence. I tuck some loose strands of hair behind my ear and walk towards him.

“Lead the way, darlin’.” He announces, sweeping his arm in the direction of the main school building, a smirk on his lips.

I laugh and shake my head at his antics, a blush creeping up my cheeks as I walk past him in the direction of my economics class.

Ditching my trash in the trash can as we leave the quad, I miss the way he grins at the accomplishment of making me giggle. I also fail to notice the astounded looks of his adopted siblings as we pass them unaware of their presence through the windows of the cafeteria. Faces reflecting their shocked thoughts at seeing their brother openly flirting with a female compared to his normal stoic facade.

“How did you do it?” Emmett asks, leaning against the locker next to mine.

“Could you be a little more specific?” I ask, a little confused by his blunt question.

“You’ve been here less than a week and my brother is wrapped around your little finger.” He says, holding up his pinky to wiggle in my face.

I laugh and shut my locker, “Emmett, I’ve had all of like two interactions with Jasper, you’re looking into this a little too much.”

“He usually keeps to himself, this isn't the normal Jasper we’re talking about.” He falls into step slightly behind me on my way to the last class of the day, his large build not moving through the throng of students as quickly as I am.

I turn to look at my new friend, “I literally have no clue, it’s probably nothing Em!” My heart picking up speed at just the thought of Jasper. Is he actually interested in me? Is that what Emmett is getting at?

There’s no way, beautiful people like him don’t go for people like me.

I turn and leave Emmett behind in the hallway as students finish rushing through the halls, the tardy bell ringing.

American History, the class I share with Jasper Hale and it also happens to be the last class of the day. Unfortunately though, his assigned seat is on the other side of the room. At least it’s more forward than mine, leaving me to observe him for most of the class period without him seeing.

History is also my worst subject; whether it’s world or US history, I hate it all the same. So many mistakes and atrocities, I wish I could let it flow in one ear and out the other without having to remember it for tests.

Today though, I get the sense our teacher has had a difficult day since he’s decided to let us work together freely. Seeing as I don’t really know anyone yet, I’m forced to work alone.

As if he could feel my discomfort and irritation with the assignment, Jasper Hale appears at the edge of my peripheral vision, claiming the abandoned desk next to mine and turning a few heads of our classmates.

“You’re thinking so loud I could practically hear it from across the room.” He mutters lowly without looking up from his worksheet.

“I’m thinking too loud?” I respond defensively as I cut him a look that would normally skin boys alive.

“Would you like some help or not, doll?” He asks, a grin sliding across his lips as his eyes meet mine in challenge.

“I-uh, I hate history.” I manage to blurt out, a little flustered that he so easily bypassed my frustrated facade without a blink.

“I do want that explanation eventually, but we have work to finish and only,” He breaks eye contact to glance at the clock above the board, “thirty seven minutes left before you’re on your own.”

“Alright Hale, what did you get for number four?” I deflate and accept his offer to save me from the misery of suffering through this stupid assignment alone.

[smokescreenimusprime]

Hi hi! I’ve been reading your smokescreen stuff and I had a thought. Specifically, a thought for a sort of, alternate version of the early crash AU. Smokescreen crashes early, but he crashes in the middle of nowhere and is damaged. He goes into stasis for a while, and when he wakes up the only system he can use is his holoprpjector. (He’s also stuck, buried deep underground in the middle of the Nevada desert, so that’s no fun either)

But he has his holoprpjector, and spends the next several decades just…vibing around Jasper. Then, he meets Jack. And they’re roughly the same age, so they hit it off. (Tho Smokes always has to explain why he doesn’t eat, or drink, or seemingly use the bathroom, and all kinds of other fun excuses to keep Jack off his trail). But then the Kids get involved with Team Prime, and suddenly Smokescreen is being confronted with Cybertronians for the first time in decades (possibly even for the first time in centuries).

And now he just has to figure out how to tell the bots what his deal is. (He doesn’t like being buried and may or may not have developed an intense claustrophobia.)

OOOOOOOOOOOO I REALLY LIKE THAT 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

I hope you don't mind but my brain went kinda insane with this thought and low key came up with a mini fic plan for it so-

just. Smokescreen slowly fitting into the little human society built above him. Going to their schools, working their jobs, living their lives. Maybe the first few times he lives the lives, he isn't perfect. He'll slip up and forget certain details about himself, or he'll be a bit too fast or strong and in such a small town rumours spread quickly

In his first lifetime as a human, Smokescreen kept to himself. He acted the way he always did, but kept to himself and watched from afar to learn more about humanity. He enrolled himself at Jasper High, got a job, bought a small apartment to call his own and did his best to ignore the pointed rumours and whispers from behind his back. For as amazing as humans could be, at times they could be just as cruel as the bots back home

it's a lot of stumbling and learning and making mistakes and he doesn't have any friends, but it's a step up to being alone in the quiet dark of his stasis pod, so he'll take it. He lives through his human's life, working, creating, starting hobbies, and so much more. The freedom to do things just for the sake of doing, of being allowed to pursue any job he chose without legal limitations, of being able to draw and paint and sing without countless rules and segregations preventing him....... it's freeing in a way he didn't know he'd been restricted

his 2nd life went much smoother, with a lot of the Nuances Of Being Human having been figured out. He had some difficulties "faking" his death since driving off into the desert with all his belongings then returning in the same vehicle with the same belongings would raise more rumours than he'd like to deal with, so he ends up packing all his important things and trinkets into boxes, gets a moving company to take them away, "dies" (he just messes with the settings on his holoform and waits for his body to be buried/cremated before dissipating it), moves in a few weeks later with a new identity and has the same moving company bring his stuff back

his 3rd life was more of the same, and not a whole lot stood out. He socialised better with other humans, but most of the bonds had had were kept at a bit of a distance. The fact he couldn't go super far from Jasper severely limited his hang out options since it's not exactly the entertainment capital of the world, but he makes do

his 4th life was actually cut short, which he's endlessly salty about. He managed to make it to his late 20s/early 30s, and this time around he wanted to experiment a bit. Specifically, he wanted to try street racing. Human cars were really starting to get interesting, and he wanted in. It had been far too long since he last raced, and while he wasn't going to be the one on the road, being behind the wheel was the next best thing. And he's damn good driver too, one of the best in the circuits around Jasper, and he dominates the local races for years

........but yeah it doesn't go so well in the end. Smokescreen's avatar ends up getting into an accident, one that he'd definitely not be able to get away with survival and ends up having to cut things short. It was a mad scramble in the next few days to get his stuff somewhere safe, and he unfortunately wasn't able to get all of it. It took him almost three months to cool off enough to make another human. It's was..... definitely difficult recognising so many people with them not recognising him, but he managed

but then something interesting happens nearing the end of his 5th life

Smokescreen had gotten some new neighbours. That in itself wasn't anything new, he got new neighbours all the time. They were a young couple freshly married and nothing that really garnered extra attention. Smokescreen did end up running into the wife at the grocery store a few times, and that's how he ends up learning her name

June Darby

he sees her around a few more times and they make pleasant conversation. At times, Smokescreen thinks they might even be friends, but he's hesitant to put a label on it It's been so long since he's had a friend, he doesn't want to scare her off

and things are nice. They talk over coffee and walk through the park together, enjoying each other's company. June tells him about her life and Smokescreen tells her about his human one. They have fun, laugh, make jokes, and when June gets pregnant Smokescreen is ecstatic to meet the kid

but then...... then things took a turn for the worst

Smokescreen had never liked Mr.Darby. He had his suspicions, had his gut feelings, but never had anything other than that to go off of. He doesn't even know what about the man made him feel so uneasy, just that something about him, about how June would take every opportunity to get out of the house, about how she always looked so tired in a way medical school couldn't explain.......

everything comes crashing down one night. At 11pm he hears yelling outside his house and frantic banging on his door. He's on his feet in an instant, and he's horrified what he sees

June, crying and shaking with a bruise on her cheek and Mr.Darby trying to drag her away

in that moment, Smokescreen forgets he's supposed to be a frail old man and punches him so hard the man's jaw shatters

June spends the night with him. He gently guides her to the guest room and keeps watch all night. Sleep was simply a formality at this point, one he was more than willing to forgo for her safety

it was easy enough to get Mr.Darby to back off. Smokescreen had accumulated quite the fortune over the (technical) generations he's lived on Earth, especially since the food and water bills he paid amounted to almost nothing, and it was more than enough to pay for any legal fees to get the man arrested and evicted. June was of course still very shaken up from the whole ordeal, but Smokescreen doesn't hesitate to let her know she's welcome for as long as she'd like

and then June just kinda...... never ends up moving out. The trial kept her on edge and busy, then she had to get caught up on all the schooling she missed, then Jack was born, and while she always intended to move back it just...... never happened. And it wasn't like this was a bad thing, Smokescreen's home was more enough for the three of them, and neither minded being roommates. It was...... honestly comforting, having someone there

but Smokescreen knows he's running out of time. That he's only going to be able to realistically be around for so long before his age will start to draw attention, and as much as it kills him to abandon June and Jack he doesn't know what to do

so he stats planning for his next life, more than he has for every previous one combined, and for the first time, he decided to tie these two lives together

before, he always avoided any relations at all. It could become suspicious and lead to people poking their noses where they don't belong and asking questions he wasn't prepared to deal with. But….. he couldn't stand the thought of being forced to watch June and Jack from the sidelines. Of them not knowing him in his next life

it had been a few years since everything had gone down when Smokescreen finally puts his plan into action. The plan had been to tell June he needed to take care of some “Family Business” he’d thought was taken care of before his time ran out. That he wasn’t sure if he’d be back, he could feel that he was running out of time, but that no matter what he loved June and Jack

Jack was 7 years old when he said goodbye, and that memory would be burnt into his brain for the rest of his life. How Jack clung to his pant leg asking him not to go, how June's eyes got so big and shiny and how her hands would shake. It tore his spark to pieces to see them like that, and it just convinced him further

he left almost everything he had to the two of them. Aside from a small box of his most personal and important things, he left everything else to June in his “will,” including the house and all his money, which she at first tried to reject but Smokescreen was stubborn and insisted

And then he gets in his car with a tank full of gas and drives far off into the desert

it takes 3 weeks before he comes back, and it was the longest 3 weeks of his life. He wanted to rush back, wanted to be with June and Jack again and he was worrying himself sick over what could be happening to them, but he forced himself to wait

In his 6th life, Smokescreen is the most honest with himself he’d ever been since his 1st life. His holoform is what he thinks is comfortable and he makes himself as young as he can get away with (a newly 15 year old) because he wants as much time as possible with the two. His personality is who he truly is without any politeness or experimentation because above everything he wants to be as open and honest as he can with these two. He starts thinking of ways to describe his life, his Cybertronian life, in a way that would fit as a human because he wants them to know him, not a puppet he created

When he shows up in Jasper things…… go as he expected. Driving up in his “old” car definitely got some whispers and June’s suspicion was almost painful, but well within everything he planned. Smokescreen was ready to play the long game for this, anything it took to be a part of their lives again

he claims to be his previous life's great-nephew. That one of his grandparents and his old life used to be siblings, but had a falling out leading to his old life moving to Jasper and cutting all contact. A few weeks ago, Smokescreen had reached out to his "great-uncle" since things with his own parents weren't....... going super great and his grand-uncle was really the only family he felt would be sympathetic. However he over estimated just how much his grand uncle was willing to do for someone he didn't even really know, leading to him recommending Jasper as a place to stay and driving all the way to where he lived to give him his car

he also mentions that his grand uncle had talked about June a lot in the days before he died, and he could tell he really loved her (not in a romantic way). He'd already said his "last goodbyes" weeks ago, and while he did make sure they knew how much he cared...... he still feels like he hadn't said enough

after things slightly calm down after that, Smokescreen then gets ready to leave. After all, he's still technically a stranger to them and he's already accomplished his goal of making contact....... but then June insists he stay the night. After all, he's a 15 year old and she can't in good faith let him sleep in his car when she has a perfectly good bed available

reluctantly he accepts, but makes it clear he's going to make plans to move elsewhere. After all, this is June's home now and he doesn't want to intrude

.......but just like when he first took June in, his moving out never happens. He ends up being enrolled in school, babysits Jack when June's shifts run longer, help prepare food and before he knows it, they've become a family once again

a few years later when June asks if he'd like her to adopt him he nearly cries

from here, my thoughts are a bit more scattered. I have a couple misc ideas which I'm not fully sure how to go about but want to include somehow:

after he graduates this time, Smokescreen ends up working at the library for both a change of pace and some nostalgia, and he's really good at it

when Smokescreen left his 5th life, he gave Jack a little pendant he'd made some years back with Alpha Trion's symbol on it. Sort of a way to remember him by, and Jack rarely takes it off. It's eventually noticed by the Bots which sparks a bit of curiosity about Jack's older brother

Smokey is just as much in the dark about the Autobots as June is, however he'd had suspicions for it longer. Not specifically Cybertronian Interference, but defiantly that there was something going on

during the whole MECH Thing, Smokey ends up getting kidnapped in the house. However, things don't go as planned because Smokey isn't at all limited by normal human limitations. Initially they tried drugging him and knocking him out, but he only goes down when they hit him with a high powered taser which ends up REALLY fucking with his holoform which unfortunately gets their attention

the Autobot Base is thankfully just within Smokescreen's range, and he looses his SHIT. Unfortunately they can't free him just yet on account of the whole ass town on top of him, but the fact multiple someones know he's down there...... yeah he starts crying a bit

during the S2 finale, Smokescreen ends up being the one to stay behind in the base since..... well, he couldn't leave anyways. Might as well make sure everyone else can escape

You know I've gotta ask for Karkat and Sollux gem concepts now. (Also... fusion thoughts?) (also, are they living on Earth now?) (do not have to answer all at once)

THANK YOU FOR ASKING.

So as far as Karkat and Sollux, these were my general ideas:

Karkat is a Black Jasper, but similar to Amethyst in the actual show, he popped out too early. Or he somehow mutated and came out a little fucked up. Normally, he'd be shattered for this but he fled the Kindergarten before Homeworld came to collect.

Sollux is a permanent fusion similar to Garnet, and I'm assigning him as a Danburite. His two gems are on either side of his temple. He's never unfused and never will (this is almost purely so I can give him 2 gems and play into his whole bifurcation gimmick).

Now as far as how they all live on Earth? This is still an early concept/idea but one of my general ideas/thought processes was as so:

Homeworld has plans to invade Earth. White Diamond (The Condensce, kinda missing out on her being Pink but Feferi takes that role), has decided to kidnap certain humans to experiment on them.

I think the Condensce does some whack shit on the kids (Beta/Alpha, or a select few from them. Not sure who specifically yet) and fuses human bodies with gems. The Condensce's goal isn't just to wipe out Earth and suck it of its resources, she sees the HUGE population of Earth and realizes if she could overpower them and meld gems into their biology, it'd be a huge army for her. So she experiments.

I imagine Dirk is a result of one of these experiments, maybe John too. I'm mixed between all the kids being victims to this, or just select few as I said earlier.

The people who get experimented on break out and escape, but now live as half-humans, half-gems. The kids on Earth are now trying to find a way to rebel against White Diamond to keep Earth safe and prevent her plan from happening.

As another tidbit, because Dirk absolutely hates himself, I imagine he tries to split/remove his own gem. Maybe it's to get it out and turn him back fully human, or maybe he's trying to find a way to utilize fusion as a power without another person. Either way, the result of his attempts causes him to split his gem cut in half and create Hal. Who he fucking hates. They have to fuse to be at full power, and without Hal, Dirk is much much weaker. But they cannot stay fused for more than, like, 30 minutes.

(I think there's even a moment where Dirk goes to Sollux to ask him about fusion and how he does it, Sollux initially makes fun of him for it but after realizing Dirk is a bit fucked up about it, he decides to open up and help Dirk out.)

Heya! I hope you're having a great day 😊

I just wanted to drop and say that I might have a recommendation for a slight(?) yandere!

I just got Heart fragment, an otome game, and did Kay's route and got all of his endings and bad endings ( I would recommend a guide to make sure you get all of them because as far as I know there's no ending list in-game that tells you if you've done all of them)

He doesn't really show the stalking/killing aspect but he's *very* clingy and depending on what you choose, he can become very dependent on the Mc.

At least his 4th bad ending definitely has yandere vibes in my opinion so I wanted to throw this recommendation out there for anyone that might be interested!

I'd also be interested to hear your thoughts on the matter and if Kay could be classified as a (slight) yandere ^^

Oof, sorry it took be so long to write this one. I actually have been playing this game since I was on the plane back from Hawaii, so you know this game is rather long. I played through all of Kay's routes and most of Clive's (I'm missing like two bad endings), so I think I have a pretty solid idea about what's going on so far. This game is really impressive not only in terms of story but also in terms of artwork, assets and everything- it's no wonder this game had a couple kickstarters! In terms of Kay, I can see where the light yandere idea comes from, especially in his 4th bad ending. His route actually reminds me quite a bit of Yeonho's in certain ways, so I will be comparing the two to give a better idea of how they are similar.

Heart Fragment is about a high school student named Xani living with their father. Their mother died when they were young because of an experiment they were doing . Xani idolizes their mother and dislikes their father because he abandoned them when they were younger, causing them to have a rift in their relationship. At school, Xani meets with their friend Shannon, and gets an optional assignment for writing about their family's history. Curious, Xani starts to look up their mother and father on the internet and discovers the project their mother was working on. The project she was working on was a way for humans to evolve in a way and gain stronger organs, but the test subjects went rogue. They called these experiments mutants. After talkin with their dad, Xani finds out that they too are a mutant and actually have some sort of power, which we later find out is being able to see people's "hearts" or "auras". We are soon introduced to Kay, a blind boy that Xani's father knows and the two become friends as he comes in at night to talk to them. We learn that Kay lost his eyesight when he was young, during a fire as well as a bit more about how Xani's powers work and their mom's work. After some dates and some haunting dreams, Kay suddenly goes missing and tries to go look for them, only to be stabbed by Jasper, a guy that both Kay and their dad warned them about.

They wake up in the hospital and meet a skittish boy named Clive (whom they met jogging around). After this traumatizing event, Xani's dad decides to move them out to live with their former babysitter, Lana to keep them safe from another attack by Jasper. They find out that Clive also is nearby and they try to get along (in Kay's route, Xani is more or less pretty suspicious about Clive). Xani gets a dream from a being named Shay, who asks Xani to find the "fragments" of Kay, usually depicted as feathers, which they find in various places. Upon finding all of them Shay explains who exactly Clive, Jasper and Kay are. (It's a little confusing so bare with me.) The three used to be one person, with Jasper gaining the role of the aggregator, believing that it's his destiny to kill Xani. Meanwhile, Clive, is more of an empty husk and used to be called Jasper (or was it Jasper that used to be called Clive, I can't remember.) Kay is more or less an OC that Clive and Jasper made when they were kids and Xani has the option to bring Kay back by sacrificing Clive and Jasper. Unknowingly, they do this by bringing the fragments to both Jasper and Clive while talking in the forest, which merges them together into Kay. This time however, Kay has lost pretty much all of his memories, and relies on Xani to help him gain them back.

After forgetting his memory, Xani tries their best to help Kay gain his memories back. Kay is very nervous around Xani and Lana, starting to depend on Xani's likes and dislikes to mask his own. One day he goes into the forest and talks about his memories and admitting he doesn't want to exist and that he really is nothing. Lana gives Kay and Xani tickets to Xani's favorite band, Fragmented Hearts. Xani is very excited and hopes that Kay will enjoy it, however because it's very loud, Kay seems uncomfortable, but forces himself to like it for Xani's take. Kay continues to feel like a burden to Xani and felt afraid about the fact that he might hurt Xani. He panics with the voices of Clive and Jasper in his head, panicking and screaming, telling Xani to leave. He gets angry that Jasper is in his head, and remembering different memories. Xani's dad comes in for a visit and Kay clings onto Xani, believing that they might come to the conclusion that he's too much and throw him away. As the two go towards the forest the next day, Kay's outbursts become more frequent, until eventually he breaks a vase that Xani made for Lana when they were small and starts to freak out. Xani calms Kay down and tells Lana who is pretty chill about the entire accident. Kay ends up favoriting all of Xani's StarxSocial posts in one day and at night, and during the night Kay starts to freak out and runs into the forest and Xani follows suit. Kay runs to a hut in the woods and gets scared because of all the memories flooded in his head. They end up staying at the hut for the night and come back. Xani runs downstairs after hearing something fall and upon running back upstairs sees a man named Teryl (who is sort of Jasper's aid) kidnapping Kay. Xani is able to find Teryl in the hut they slept in at night. Teryl is under the impression that Xani had somehow killed Jasper, however, Kay is able to knock Teryl out and escape. Kay finally agrees to therapy.

In the good ending, Kay gets better due to therapy, but doesn't ever remember his memories, choosing instead to become his own person and happily being with Xani.

In the best ending, Kay goes to therapy and goes to Shannon's graduation party with Xani. He starts to listen to audio books like he used to and while dancing with Xani regains his memories.

I just wanted to start off by saying that Heart Fragment is really well made for a visual novel, and is probably even on par with a lot of Japanese Otome games in terms of refined style and artwork. Not only are you able to choose between two art styles for sprites and CGs (Two! It's pretty impressive considering how many characters/cgs there are/ will be) but you can also choose to have a romantic/platonic route, as well as the gender of your protagonist (the male is missing a couple of cgs but it's still pretty good). There's also animated segments between segments as well as an intro sequence created. It keeps up with its theme of Little Red Riding Hood with Clive being little Red, Jasper being the wolf and Kay being... I guess the grandma, I'm not really sure. Considering it's free and only two routes are out so far, it's very impressive.

Xani as a main character (they kind of reminds me of @everykissbeginswithkai's Onyx in both personality and appearance, at least the female version) is rather cynical though they do become more positive as the route continues (in both Kay and Clive's route). In Kay's route (at least the way I played), Xani is very bitter towards their dad pushing him away and insulting him, which I feel like is very childish, especially since we learn that he only pushed them away in an attempt to protect them. It's true that he is very wishy washy in revealing information on mutants, but it's in the attempt to protect Xani. It's really dependent on the choices since in Clive's route, Xani was much more open with what her dad says and it makes their relationship much more open, but it did bother me how Xani acts towards their dad despite him doing his best. They have a bit of a direct and snarky attitude at times, but they can be genuine with themselves and having that kind of personality really helps the dynamics of characters.

In terms of Kay as a yandere, I was a bit confused meeting him first because as I learned more about him my thought was "Huh? He's the yandere?" but after he loses his memory is where it all clicks together. After Kay loses his memory, he becomes really clingy and anxious, kind of like a dog with separation anxiety, and as a result clings onto Xani as much as possible. Kay in concept is more or less an imaginary character, and it seems like Kay, Clive and Jasper are all connected to Xani in some way. When he gains amnesia, he becomes attached to Xani because they are the only only one who knows who he is like. As a result, he tries to force himself to like the same things Xani does (the breakfast food they have, as well as the band Fragmented Hearts), gets afraid when he accidentally does something that could cause either Xani or Shannon trouble (like breaking the vase Xani made for Shannon) to the point of almost having a breakdown. There's also the moment where he goes to like all of Xani's posts suddenly and feels bad that he's not tall if Xani tells him they like taller guys. That's not to say he's never happy, in fact for the most part he seems really happy to be able to share experiences with Xani that he had before having amnesia, but he is really anxious that Xani will throw him away and he feels as if he's a burdened them in some way.

As I stated in the beginning, Yeonho from Nameless and Kay actually do share lot of similarities. For one both of them have some form of abandonment issue that makes them cling onto the MC and their arcs end with them being able to let them go and become a more independent person. They both have a tendency to force themselves into liking something the MC lines (for Yeonho it was forcing himself to have fun at the carnival while for Kay it was forcing him to have fun at the Fragmented Hearts Concert) as well as panic when something bad happens (Yeonho asking the MC to rip his heart out in one scene if it makes her happy and Kay freaking out when breaking a vase and telling them to just kick him out because he's a burden) and even both get sick from going out and getting soaked, confused when the MC saves a poor soul like them (at least in some of Kay's endings). They both have pretty low self esteem for different reasons, with Yeonho's stemming from his previous owner and Kay's coming from his lack of memories and identity. Yeonho is much more jealous than Kay is since Kay is more or less pretty okay with the people Xani interacts with whereas Yeonho ignores everyone except the MC.

In Kay's bad ending, specifically his fourth bad ending, you have to choose choices that both make Kay depend on Xani more and lowers his self esteem as well as lie to him. In this ending, after Kay knocks out Teryl, he regains powers that Jasper has. He seems distraught as he can tell that Xani has been lying to him and promises to be better, to be everything that Xani wants. It's a bit ambiguous what exactly he does to Xani, but its clear that he doesn't let them go.

Clive’s route is rather cute as well. His route gives more information on what’s happening in the plot, specifically about Clive and Jaspers past. While Kay is like a dog with separation anxiety, Clive is more similar to a skittish cat. He can be a bit nervous about things but he has a rather cynical outlook on things. I think Clive’s route is overall better in terms of story and romance but I think that Kay’s is better in terms of angst. They both have pretty good routes so if you have time I’d recommend playing both.

Everytime @yandere-daze sends me an ask or comments on reblogs I feel like I’m hanging out with the popular kids, haha. This game is really good and I can’t wait for the next couple routes because both Shannon and Lana deserve it.

[trashcankitty12]

Do you have any headcanons about Diaspro and why she ended up being the way she is ?

Oh boy do I have Diaspro thoughts!

And I have been using them while I write my AUs.

First of all: Diaspro isn't an only child, she has an older brother who is also being tormented by their overbearing parents.

(He's gay and his parents are very traditional, or at least, they're practically pushing him to marry and have children with a woman, but he can have *secret affairs* with men if he is so desperate for that.)

Back when they were kids, they would try to protect each other from their parents by pissing them off when they would go after the other sibling for something they did "wrong".

(Like poor Diaspro was constantly being taught by her mother and the other women of the Isis court how to "act" and "behave" and "look". Her looks were her most important thing, she needed to stay quiet. She also needed to learn how to "properly speak" to "get what she wants" done.)

(Manipulation basically that plays up to male ego.)

Of course, once Diaspro and her brother reached certain ages: 12 and 11, they were separated to truly begin their grooming.

Jasper was sent off to boarding school to learn to be a proper wizard and hopefully a proper prince. (What his dad doesn't know about his time at Coventry won't hurt him, and he knows Nabu won't say anything.)

Unfortunately that meant Diaspro was left alone with their parents and her own teachers. She was taught she had to be "perfect" in looks, brains (even though she was also taught to purposefully downplay her intelligence), and grace.

She's a princess, right? She has to be everything and more.

Her parents engaged her to their longtime friends' son, Prince Sky. Which wasn't bad, he was nice though kind of naive due to his own upbringing. But he'd do, especially since Eraklyon is such an important realm.

(Her mother made it very clear that if things didn't go right with her engagement and marriage to Sky, she'd be considered nothing more than a waste of air and her family would disown her in every way but publicly.)

(Meaning she'd be allowed to live at the castle and show up to events, but for the most part, she'd be just another servant girl.)

(Which is why she gets so wrapped up in "wanting" Sky. She doesn't care about him, she cares about not being cast aside.)

This is why during the first three seasons, she (and her mother) plot to keep Bloom and Sky separated and to cause trouble. Hell, her own mother even arranged for her to be kidnapped in hopes of sparking things between them.

And of course we know that Diaspro accepted help from Valtor.

(It was also during this time that her parents essentially helped her keep Sky away from his own so they couldn't tell that Sky was... Not quite Sky. Just until after their wedding.)

(Jasper however, wasn't part of this and did his best to help Brandon and Sky behind the scenes. His parents aren't happy with him, but they know they can't say anything since it all went public about Diaspro's "obsession" without admitting their own parts in it.)

(Yes they threw their own daughter under the bus when it all came out. "We have no idea what happened! We were spelled too!"

Jasper in the back, rolling his eyes. "Totally.")

All of this has pushed Diaspro so far, and she's so tired of coming in last place.

So she has a new plan: she's going to help the Ancestral Coven take over the Magical Dimension and she's going to destroy her family and takeover Isis as her own realm.

If she can't be a queen any other way, she'll force it. (And okay, maybe she won't destroy her brother, but she will make it known he can't return to Isis without potentially getting himself killed.)

Prime of His Youth: Book I: Forging His Own Path: Ch01: Motorette

Jack climbed off of Arcee and stepped out to the edge of the cliff. Arcee transformed and walked up beside him. She sat down, legs dangling. She then layed on her side as Jack slipped into her embrace.

"Weren't you eager to get out of town?" Arcee asked. "It doesn't seem impressive by most Human standards."

"Hm?" Jack asked. "I've never been. Jasper has everything I've ever wanted."

"Reaching for the stars?" Arcee sarcastically asked.

"Well, if I knew there was an epic war that's been going on for longer than the dinosaurs existed, I might have thought about it differently."

"Really?" Arcee asked, and Jack sighed. "I figured as much. You probably wouldn't think you could do anything..."

"I really don't know how people can know if they can do something before they try." Jack stated.

"And that's probably why you succeed." Arcee stated. "It's strange."

"hm?" Jack asked.

"Since you've been with us, you've never asked for anything."

"I have..." Jack tried to state.

"For yourself." Arcee said with love. "Back in the day I couldn't see it, but now I see what Optimus saw in you when we went to the centre of the Earth. So, if you weren't so eager to leave Jasper?.."

"I love driving with you." Jack stated.

"You love doing everything with me." Arcee stated.

"Well, yeah." Jack replied, "And that includes driving. But I see the freedom Autobots have, have far you can drive."

"So, why didn't you until now?" Arcee asked.

"I didn't have anywhere to go." Jack simply replied.

"And now you do?" Arcee asked.

"Wherever you are." Jack replied.

"Don't you Humans have to go to school?" Arcee asked.

"I'm getting a lot of credit in an extracurricular automotive assignment."

Arcee paused for a moment, "That's us, isn't it?"

"And I've been rebuilding bikes." Jack simply stated.

"You'll be a Ratchet in no time." Arcee said, as she gently pet his head.

"I am kind of grumpy..." Jack stated.

"Responsible." Arcee simply stated, "For things you were never asked to be. Maybe I should start helping you?"

"You're too delicate to be a grease monkey." Jack simply stated.

"Very funny." Arcee replied.

"Too elegant?" Jack asked.

"I can work with that." Arcee simply stated. "Does this mean I have to start wearing high heels, and whatever you call those leg coverings?"

"What, pants?" Jack asked.

"No-no. Those sexy ones. Your mother showed them off that once."

"That's not exactly the way to get guys..." Jack tried to say.

"Just tell me what they're called." Arcee interupted.

"Stockings." Jack simply stated, "And I doubt we could find some in your size."

"Well, yeah, but people know about us now." Arcee stated. "They give us a bunch of money, and the only thing we spend it on is Energon and oil. I need to find a Human who could help me with it."

Jack let out a heavy breath.

"Do you think your mother would help me?"

"Really, Arcee?" Jack asked.

"Well, I don't really know that many Humans."

"You haven't exactly tried." Jack stated.

"Yeah... peace is kind of new to me. I've never been on Cybertron that has a functioning economy. The only thing I cared about was fighting evil. And now we're here. I have absolutely no idea what I should do..."

"But?" Jack asked.

"I've never been more content in my life." Arcee replied, "Though, might need to get myself something to keep myself busy."

"Oil wrestling?" Jack asked.

"I like the sound of that." Arcee simply stated.

"It was supposed to be a joke." Jack stated.

"What's wrong with oil wrestling?" Arcee asked, "I've seen you watching wrestling."

"It's typically only done by women." Jack stated.

"I am a two-wheeler, so that works for me." Arcee simply added. Jack paused. "There has to be more to it."

Jack breathed in deeply. "You don't wear clothes, so it's kind of hard to explain."

"Like that time June came out and forgot to close her robe?" Arcee asked. "You looked as white as a ghost." She then paused for a moment, "I thought ghosts were invisible."

"Extremely pale skin also looks ghostlike." Jack simply replied. "And it depends on who you see."

"Meaning, not your mother?" Arcee asked. "Oooh, is this a reproductive thing? I have been wanting to learn more reproductive things."

"And who are you going to get to wrestle you?" Jack asked.

"I doubt you would want me to oil wrestle Bulkhead." Arcee stated, "Would it have to be two-wheelers?

"For proper oil wrestling, yes." Jack stated. "Can't we just call them female?"

"Ratchet was the one that hated that, because we're not a sexually reproductive species and all that. But, we don't really have a word for it, and Humans don't really have a word for it, so what are we going to use?"

"Fembots?" Jack asked, and Arcee paused.

"What about Decepticons?" Arcee asked.

"That's not what the... Gynoids?" Jack asked.

"That sounds like something you just made up." Arcee stated.

"Raf used it." Jack replied, "Androids means fake men. Robot men. So, gynoids?"

"Fake women, I take it?" Arcee sarcastically asked.

"We don't really..."

"Can't we use the words we use doing the reproductive things?" Arcee asked, and all of the air was pulled out of Jack's lungs. "Well, some of them have to appropriate? I mean, words have meanings?"

"Most of them are... derogatory... Not things I'd want to say in from of mom." Jack replied.

Arcee held her right hand out in front of him with the index finger extended while the rest were in a ball, "Whore?"

"No." Jack stated.

"Slut?" Arcee asked, as she extended the middle finger.

"No." Jack uttered.

"Bitch?" Arcee asked, extending a third finger.

"Nope." Jack replied.

"Kitten?" Arcee asked, extending the ring finger, "I mean, cats are cute."

"I'm still not saying that in front of my mother."

"Vixen?" Arcee asked, extending the thumb.

"No, but..." Jack stated.

"But?" Arcee asked.

"Humans do have certain ways to turn words either masculine or feminine. We add stuff like -a and -ette to the end of words. Cyberette?"

"I honestly don't know." Arcee distantly stated.

"And you don't care, do you?" Jack asked.

"I'm your little sex kitten, so I honestly don't care what you call me." Arcee replied. "But, there's no way in hell anyone else can learn about that."

"Mom... probably... already..." Jack tried ot say. "I mean, you can be pretty loud, and the garage isn't that well soundproofed..."

Arcee paused for a moment, "So, you're mom has already heard you call me a bitch?.."

"Doesn't mean I'm going to do it in front of her." Jack simply replied.

"Still weird to think you Humans need to wear clothes to protect yourself." Arcee stated.

"You're the one that wants lingerie." Jack replied.

"Ornamentation we understand." Arcee stated, "Just something I've never really had to think about it."

"You just picked what was the most useful for you at a time?" Jack asked.

"You can't exactly blame me?"

"So, what?" Jack asked, "We get you a hot pink paintjob?"

"I will remind you that you are the one that has to ride me." Arcee chided, "Sometimes in public."

"Will lingerie even survive a transformation?" Jack asked.

"I've never actually been that fashionable..." Arcee nervously voiced.

"You are too powerful to have to worry about that." Jack stated.

"I thought we could put the war behind us... I have..." she said and paused, "decades," she forced herself to say, stopping herself from saying millennia, "to learn to be fashionable."

"Is that why you suddenly got into it?" Jack asked.

"Well, there's that." Arcee replied, "And the fact I love when you love to look at me."

"You're always beautiful. You're always powerful. You could do what you want in the world."

"And what I want to do is oil wrestling." Arcee said with force and glee. "You don't exactly seem opposed?"

"I will... admit... I'd love to see it..." Jack stated.

"Or I could help you with your motorcycles?"

"Which you don't know anything about building."

"I could do all of the 'heavy' lifting." Arcee simply replied. "I might not be bulkhead, but I can certainly lift more than that bitch Sierra."

"Are you ever going to let that go?" Jack asked.

"That skank thinks she's good enough for MY Jack?" Arcee asked.

Jack sighed, "Maybe I shouldn't have taught you some of those words?"

"I'll try to keep them to the bedroom."

Post-Seasons details #4

Read #1 here Read #2 here Read #3 here Spoilers ahead for all of Seasons, as usual. This time, I'll focus on Howie.

When Howie finally settles down and has his own family and spouses (he has a husband and a wife down the road), he finally collects the bedroom set Graham made for him and uses it for his family. (I have not thought of names or anything yet for his spouses, just vague personality traits. I also suspect they'll be fellow nature spirits, but... not sure which ones yet, just that they definitely get involved in the births of his daughter and later his son.) And yes, he has two children. He's a really good dad. I have a lot of fluffy mental images of him eventually settling down and raising a family, and just the kind of warm, loveable dad who takes his kids on little adventures. His children do come a bit later down the road from the epilogue, and their childhoods do not overlap with Jasper and Jacy's. He'll be raising them away from Sparrow's Creek, too. He likes to mingle with the humans in their cities quite a bit, so... :') Between chapter 89 and the epilogue, Howie does repair some of his relationship with Graham slowly. They're never close, but enough to exchange kisses and hugs during family gatherings. Howie overlaps his study of trees and insects. He collects degrees like candy so he can learn more and more. He has the benefit of helping trees with science and magic, since he can heal trees from sickness as part of his tree-inclined ways. (As seen in chapter 88! That was one of my favorite parts to write toward the ending...) Howie does eventually want a change of pace, and that's why he's studying theatre. He has money saved up (he's pretty good about this, unlike El, although I suspect he also sends El boxes of rare books from his travels to assist with his brother's collection!) and can afford to try something new for a bit. He'll go back to trees eventually, but he wants to learn stagecraft and acting. Yes, that's risky, he's immortal... but Howie's like that. Also, he's so social. I can't imagine him not enjoying the friendships he'll make through this and all the things he'll learn along the way. Due to him going from a scientist who travels and studies to being in a studio apartment for a bit, he doesn't own any pets. He does like being around other people's animals, though. He might keep pets when he has children, but I haven't thought that far ahead. :P Howie also studies dancing and singing because he wants to do theatre, and... Yeah, he's not too bad at either, especially dancing. He has to have some vocal training to get better at singing, though, since he's a little rough and hasn't had a ton of practice with it. Despite his relationship with Jacy, he is nothing more than formal around Vivian. And honestly, Vivian is grateful to see him doing well and being allowed to even know that much, but... it hurts pretty deeply for him, because he does miss his son. He has a lot of regrets the more time that passes. But Howie was hurt too deeply to ever easily forgive him. Howie is close to all five of his siblings. He's Jacy's favorite, because he absolutely spoils her with not just love and the occasional fun present (fellow autumn knows a kindred nature spirit haha), but he's always telling her fun stories about his travels. He's like a fun uncle, only he's her much older brother. :') For Jasper, however, he just is the fun uncle. He loves the stories and toys, which... Howie always seems to know just what to get his loved ones. ;A; He is truly the bonfire that draws everyone around for stories.

#okay that last line nearly makes me cry I love him so much #my precious baby boy

[smiletimeisrunningout]

the 100 wishlist:

-Marcus Kane: she thought the council rediscussed her pregnancy and still kept her in her cell even if it sorta proved her self-defense claim (you can't kill anyway but I assume there is a bit more leniency if you weren't trying to, you were protecting yourself, and you are pregnancy. At least enough not to be in solitary anymore, but as far as Emma is concerned she should have been freed) but he actually knew nothing of this because they were too busy with the Ark dying so there is a weird relationship right there, between the angry pregnant girl who is kinda giving him a pass while hating on all other people with power, and the guy who is trying to do better now on the ground and who later on is visibly !!! about Diyoza being pregnant ??

-a Bellamy to freak out with questions about his mom and then to freak out even more when he realizes why he's being asked these questions, he was working so hard to 'be better' and protect people and lead, what is he supposed to do with this time-ticking bomb

-all the interactions with Murphy to see what happens in an universe where someone is weirdly caring from beginning to end ?? John Murphy having a tiny blonde girl who finds a little too easy to kill who has his back (possible 'trapped in the bunker together' situation there with the added terror of her pregnancy advancing though) (also he can cook, it's canon, which means he'll have Emma's undying love for that alone)

-interactions with Emori who is now around a girl who would never shun her son even if he was born a mutant and does everything for his sake but doesn't judge Emori herself for her crime-lifestyle, and later on Emma actually tries to volunteer to save her from being experimented on, because she's sure she'll be left to die in Praimfaya anyway and is giving her son one more chance it if the nightblood experiment works and saving someone in the process

-Raven having someone who picks her first even if it's platonically ?? Raven getting this big sister bond and helping Emma out too, she hates asking for help but it's a bit different when it's very mutual

-if it's possible for a Jasper not to completely fall apart after Mount Weather because Emma is not staying too close to a constantly drunk depressed guy while 8-9 months pregnant, maybe not losing it completely because he gets to protect/help someone else (Emma), that same Jasper who started to feel a bit of a spark of life again when he bonded for five minutes with a girl in Luna's place, maybe gets to feel better when helping Emma with baby Henry and going with them all to space later on ?

-Spacekru being a weird family unit to baby Henry though, all the aunts and uncles he needs // if Henry is the bunker and Emma is in space they'd have to keep Emma from dying of heartbreak though

-Clarke finding someone who agrees with literally all of her choices except for the one of forgiving and sorta dating Lexa (never forgive! Never forget!) and regardless of which faction Emma belongs to Emma actually agreeing that Madi should have been left flameless, are you kidding.

-I actually want to write with an Abby and fix the relationship because I like Abby, but I think it would be terrible for the other rper if we don't know each other well because Emma would be an ass.hole for a while and refuse to be reasonable about not hating the adults

-all the other 100s

-the weirdness of 'oh no, it's not that I don't trust Lincoln because he's a grounder, I don't trust him because he's a man' and 'I can understand how a traumatized kid started shooting up a village of Grounders after being terrorized by Grounders all along, I will not excuse cheating' 'I may follow Jaha because Pike is going to kill us all but my god will I feed him to the water monsters if I get the chance'

#I think Emma's father will actually get along with Marcus and ditch Pike immediately #Emma's mother would try to push Emma to forgiveness and kindness again but she's a mama bear so watch out #but seriously Marcus & Bellamy would be hilarious interactions to me while I have no idea of where they'd go #John I'm a survivor Murphy having to deal with someone he doesn't need to manipulate and in fact his life is safer if he doesn't #Raven having her little bodyguard even in s1 & Emory dealing with 'okay someone who isn't John just tried to give her life for me wtf' #wishlist;

[penofdamocles]

> “.. Okay, it’s a ring, we have tons of rings, how is this supposed to fix anything?” Madison Altair squints suspiciously at the innocuous piece of jewelry in Madison Rook’s gloved hand.

“Of course it’s just a ring. Rings are convenient, and you don’t have trouble wearing your others 24/7, so this should be no extra trouble.” Rook twists the ring between their fingers, a gold band with an angular black stone set in the center. Engraved on it is a concave silver line, what looks like a closed eye with 3 little eyelashes. Very pretty, and rather metaphorically dramatic, which they’re quite proud of. “Enchantments like this don’t have any reason to be conspicuous.”

The angel continues to glare at it doubtfully. He’s not mad, he’s trying not to be ungrateful, but he’s also sober and stressed and feeling stiff, as well as completely uninterested in hiding his bad mood from someone who can’t really judge him for it. “I guess. Don’t know if I’d wear it for aesthetics. Did Hinata enchant it? I thought you couldn’t do that.” 

“This one isn’t mine. Hinata helped write down the elements of the enchantment, but Jasper made this one.” “..Jasper?” He raises an eyebrow, but much of the doubt seems to lift. “His amulet last time looked way different, and didn’t They get through that one?”

“Yes and yes, but they can enchant anything and told me very proudly that they’ve moved far past that level of enchantment, this one’s *much* stronger. Also fueled passionately by spite. Jasper’s seen what they’ve done, they would personally smite S if they could.”

Mads Altair finally takes the ring, peering at it closer. “Hm. Well I trust that, of course, but, what does it /do/?”

“This item prevents all external viewing, scrying, divination, or location abilities. They won’t be able to see you. No one will, aside from the people in your immediate vicinity. Might even work on security cameras? Not sure, no way to test that.”

His expression lifts further, and the ring slips right onto his pointer finger; it sure isn’t part of the enchantment, but the heartless man instantly feels his pulse go down, and takes a deep breath, just for a moment to chill. For the moment. He’s safe. He’s safe, he can trust Rook with something like this. But..

“..What if it falls off, though, and disappears? What if I need to take it off for something, and I set it aside, and it goes missing, or they come back that instant, or they’re already back and are just waiting for that moment and catch me the second it comes off-?” Whoops, okay, there’s all that stress back.

Rook moves over to the little nest in the back corner of the room, picks up one of several pillows, and tosses it over to Mads, who fumbles but catches it.  “Okay, chill out, hug that a second. Let me explain. First off, if you can’t wear it on your hand put it on a chain like Hinata does, or in the pocket with your pen, it just has to be on your person. Also it’s not going to fall off your hand without you noticing, it’s not like you’re not hyperaware of everything your hands can feel at all times. You’ll know.” 

Mads is very much hugging the pillow at this point, and Rook sits down in the chair next to their oddly arranged metal desk, semicircular and covered in papers and books, to keep talking. Their confidence and relative calm kind of pisses Mads off. Still, he listens attentively, actively holding his tongue and snarky comments.

“Second. This isn’t the solution. This is the backup plan I mentioned. I didn’t actually plan this ring, it just ended up being a convenient step in the process, but it’ll keep you covered in the short-term. Long-term, I’m working on something bigger. An extremely complex concealment spell, made up of my own magic, Hinata’s, Jasper’s, some shadowmancy, and more if I can manage it, I know a few other spellcasters I think I can ask. Each person is contributing a different aspect of the spell. Eventually, inevitably, S *will* get through that ring’s magic, it’s a single layer, with enough effort they can pull it apart, like last time. But if I give it several layers, components, *styles* like this, there’s no way they’ll figure it out. With a bit more planning, it’ll be a permanent enchantment, that will never turn off, they can never break through, and a few other things I’ll try to add along the way. Sound good?”

Madison Altair just nods sort of numbly. Yes he’s paying attention, or trying to, but he’s too fucking sober to be excited, and for lack of as much long-term stress all he has is a quiet emotional space to rest in. From what he understands, at least, this sounds like a great idea. “..sounds good, yeah, sounds great, I. Think that’ll work. I didn’t realize you were capable of..” He hates how much stronger Rook seems to get with every moment. “..something like this. It’s..incredible.” ..that’s a word for it. He’s quiet for a moment, staring into space, pulling at the edge of the black pillow he holds. With a sigh, he asks “..do you think. If I’d paid more attention to my magic stuff. I would’ve been able to protect myself instead?”

Rook thinks for a second, then shakes their head. “Hm. ..No. I doubt it. The magic you would’ve gone into would be far different from mine. It’d be dramatic, intense, helpful..but it wouldn’t help *you* enough. Not in the right way.” 

That burns in Mads’ chest for a moment. If he weren’t like himself. Even if he’d tried harder. Maybe he would’ve been safe. Maybe they /are/ better.

Rook gives Mads a sympathetic glance. They get it. “But..if we’d traded places, too. I think. You would be able to protect me. I don’t know if I could do this for myself if I’d been going through what you have. You could probably fight them head-on, with that kind of power. If you wanted to for me, that is, but.. It sucks in practice, yeah. But. Overall.. Doesn’t it show how much we’ve both become who we want to be that we can protect others so well, even if not ourselves?”

He just stares, for a few seconds, still processing the surprisingly insightful observation. They’re right. As much as it hurts to be too weak for himself, he never wanted to be that selfish in the first place. As much as he wanted to protect himself, he always tried to grow stronger for others. ..and he certainly can’t see that as a bad thing.

“..Huh. I mean..yeah, I guess you’re right.” He’s not used to any version of him being correct or sincere about such a positive thought of himself. ..it definitely makes him feel better, at least, though the pillow is still in a stranglehold. “..so, I, um..I should just wait for you to be done making the spell?”

“Yeah, exactly. Keep the ring on you in the meantime, I’m sure I don’t have to tell you to be careful.”

“Right, no, I’ll be..I won’t let it out of my sight.”

“Great. Now, uh. Go hang out with Ned or something, seriously, you need grounding company pretty bad right now.”

“Right..sure..thank you, Rook. I still don’t know. /Exactly/ why you’re doing this, but thank you for helping me.”

“Well, I’m not going to explain because you really should know. ..And you’re welcome. I need to. This is too important to ignore.”

“I guess..” Mads nods wearily and walks out of the room. Then, shortly after, returns, a bit purple in the face, chucks the pillow back into the corner of the study, and leaves again. First try.

#Off Strings (ic) #action #((i did not have to write this for any reason but i did because. they're interesting to write together #also here's a summary of what rook's doing for people who don't plan on asking privately! #handy dandy. #viewed ooc

[gummysaurusrexart]

Here you go a bonus piece, if you would like to know if you rejected the first message or ignored, please let me know! It is completely different compared to if you ignore or straight up denied the empire and I am having a blast writing these out!

You accepted their offer...what now?

You are a poor farmer, but you live comfortably with you wife and one son. One day you hear a knocking at the door then you see someone walking away from your house. The knocking, out this far? Now that was a rarity, your wife goes to the door and sees a package, it looked pristine despite the journey it must have been through.

You take a moment to look around said box, afraid to ruin its clean edges. Then you see it the symbol...

Ah the empire, it's only been a few days sense you answered their letter. How did it get here so fast?

You open the contents of the box, a few letters and paperwork, also 3 new very expensive looking clothing, one for each of your family members.

The wife looked wide eyed at her new dress and stood in front of a broken mirror admiring her new look.

Your son was right behind her, looking at the shirt and pants. Playful ,but modern is how you would describe the fit, Its silky appearance only seem to beg for you to wear it.

Your wife and son run off to try out the new attire. While you sit down next to the kitchen table, reading the notes carefully.

Thank you for cooperation ████ ████, we are happy you are joining our growing empire!

Thank you for answering so swiftly, we have much to discuss when you come to your new home. We are keeping your small mansion in top quality while it is waiting for you.

The servants are dedicated to the house so feel free to choose to kick them to another or keep them as your staff.

The money you have received is in the small bag of holding next to you new clothes, we hope this is all to your standards master ████ ████!

We must admit the staff we sent in didn't do the best of cleaning the inside of the bag, so sorry if you find anything unwanted or nasty, surely one of your new servants can clean it more throughly.

Ah, you must be wondering what kind of job you have to receive such benefits. No worries, it will be discussed further when you move in.

Please head out as soon as possible, a charge is right behind this package and you shouldn't be later for your ride.

With much love,

Lil Jasper, director of the Empire Housing Initiative.

Remember, with the love of our mother we are all free!

You are shook, what on earth could you being doing to get so much?! Whatever it was they want to keep it secret for now...

Your wife come out of your shared bedroom, the clothes seem to fit them perfectly and glow compared to your old dingy farmhouse.

Your wife "Oh look dear, I look like a princess!"

The silver, white dress was shimmering under the candlelight.

"Oh dear you must try yours on, please! If so soft and smooth like dream!"

She picked up your garb and pushed it into your arms, her excitement getting the better of her.

████ ████, "Of course dear, there is no need to push."

She blushed a bit, "I'm sorry dear but you will look so pretty and hansom, the thought of you a noble has gotten me so excited to meet our new life. I got a few things packed already, in my excitement!"

The son came out of his room, jogging out with a new sense pride with him.

"████ ████! I'm I'm all set to head out, I want to meet all the new kids!" He was just 10 why so formal? You suppose everyone is just excited to see the new home, neighbors, and potential friends.

Soon enough everyone else's enthusiasm started to effect you. "Oh silly me, I will be right out and we can move on to our new life!"

And so your life, begins anew!

Poppy Oliver: Part 7- Lou’s clues & The pup trials

—-Lou—–

Things have been kinda relaxing as of late. Poppy and I have spent far more time together and little by little I have been weaving bits of my “life” into our conversations and giving her the ability to get to know me better. I have to tell you, this is a very hard thing for me to do given my whole life hasn’t been surrounded by the friendliest of people and even with Rory, who has been there most of my werewolf life, doesn’t know a lot about me, we just have this understanding and we work with it. The rest of the pack is another story, we will need to unpack at a later time. but overall, I am just happy things are getting to the point that Poppy can trust me more.

But she still doesn’t know my secret life as a werewolf, or the fact that Jasper could potentially be one as well.

Which has brought us to today.

Jasper has been doing super well in advancing in all his toddler abilities. He has no problem walking, learning to talk (it’s choppy but that’s ok) ,potty training and everything. Super smart child, I am sure he gets that from Poppy because it sure as shit ain’t from me.

I also haven’t had any signs come through of the Werewolf gene. Usually, it will sprout pretty early on with slight howling as infants but Jasper rarely cried as a baby (could be from Poppy’s constant coddling). Now that he’s a bit older I can test his abilities a bit more and hope that he doesn’t come out with the gene.

As bad as it sounds to say that, I just want him to be a normal kid. While I love who I am and where I belong, it was a hard road to get to this place in feeling this way and there will be changes galore for him…

Fuck…

Well I need to get Poppy out of the house at least so I can make this happen and quick.

“Pops” I called out.

“Yes?” She responded, her voice carrying from up the stairs, ” I’m with Jasper”

I quicky made my way up the stairs and into his room. On the floor her and Jasper sat, playing with the dolls in his doll house….And I heard it…As well as felt it..

He was quietly growling while playing…It was quick and I am pretty sure Poppy didn’t even notice anything at all, too consumed by the enjoyment she was having by spending time with her son. She always glowed in these moments of just being a mom. But he was growing, and with it included a small twinge of power lingering around, naked to the human eye but very apparent for me.

Thank God she didn’t notice a thing because right now I am a bit worried already. This testing really needed to happen NOW.

“Pops,” I whined, not normally my thing but it will have to do,” There’s nothing to eattttttt.”

Poppy immediately snorted at this, “Lou, you’re a grown-ass man. Go find food.”

I will have you fucking know, I hunt every night. I provide food for myself… Then come back and eat more when she makes our meals. It’s even been requiring me to go on extra runs just to make sure to keep the weight off.

Right now I needed her out of the house.

“I’m gonna die if you keep this up girlie, What about Jasper? He has one jar of food left.”

This stopped Poppy in her tracks, frowning as she thought about this. She hated when I pointed out any sort of semblance to her potentially not providing for our son. Usually, this will start a battle of wits and back-talking, but today I think she might genuinely be worried

“How long has it been since I last when to the store,” She asked thoughtfully, mentally counting back the days I assume.

“Who knows, the first time you practically bought out the entire store of baby food..” And she really did too, the second Jasper was born she went into full-on perfect mom mode. It was insane and terrifying. That woman is a fucking force.

She glared at me briefly for that comment but in the end, her anxiety got the best of her.

“Ok, I should probably grab some groceries for all of us and maybe we start working on some soft food options for him to try now, what do you think?”

I needed her to be out for a while so anything she could think of would be fantastic.

“Take all the time you need, the kid and I need to bond more anyways since you take up all his time,” I smirk crossing my arms at her, getting a rise out of her is my favorite thing to do. One day she will get me for it though.

Again her arched brow raised in annoyance, a small smile playing on her lips as she looked at me hard. Trying to figure out what to say. She pulled herself up from the ground and starts making her way to the door, giving me a side glance before continuing through.

“I’m done, I’m not even going to fight this. Take care of Jasper and I will be back.”

she continued down the stairs and out the door.

Perfect…

Time to start.

Trial #1: Growling

Since I heard him growling earlier, I knew that was the first test to do. It will definitely be the easiest. Then from there, we will work on other gifted mannerisms then we will move on to some safety basics if he is successful. This is now the Jasper trials.

Jasper obviously had no clue what was going on. His sweet little toddler face just peeking at me from around his toys. Of course this would be a tough time and I would not be willing to comfortably transform in front of him till he understood what was going on to himself.

How the fuck do you explain this to a toddler?!?!

I reached out to pick him up and take him outside, we also needed to be somewhere a bit discreet and thankfully to my handiwork and slight scare tactic of ensuring our child was safe, I was able to make a tall fence (I’m a handsome handy man after all) around the perimeter of the yard for mostly this moment. to be away from prying eyes without putting ourselves in danger.

“Ok Jasper, we are going to play a few games ok?” I scooped him up and pushed him up onto my shoulders. “This is what we call a secret though, you know what a secret is right?”

Jasper nodded his head enthusiastically at me, “I Know, I know!”

Damn he was real smart…

“Ok so that means we can’t tell mommy, she is scared of these games, “I mean I’m not lying, she would be scared, “But you’re a big strong boy right?”

Jasper put on his big smile and nodded his head quickly again.

We make our way outside and into the backyard. I put him on the ground and had him facing me.

Ok hear goes, so us the difference between the growling a Were can do vs. a human is that it puts off an effect, almost a small pulse of power. I know, it sounds fucking weird to humans, but it’s in our nature to have the power behind our voice. And this is also how we communicate, in the form of our power providing many things from intimidation to dominance, or even a cry for help depending how we push the force out. As a Were it is also easy to produce without much practice, so in Jasper’s case, if he is Were, it will be like nothing for him. It will be natural instinct for him. He will also respond to the power as well, much like howling, if I react a way in growling, he will unconsciously do it as well, so let’s see if it works.

I look to him and smile, “Alright bud, We are gonna play a hearing game,” Yeah that should work, I’m improvising here, “I’m going to make a sound and I need you to let whatever you feel happen ok?”

I let out a small playful growl and watched Jasper carefully, immediately I could see his face light up in a surprised recognition, like he had heard or felt this way before, which he might’ve been the link of us both being family, the tie pushing him to respond. He already was answering my call with a tiny growl of his own, matching my power with his but a twinge of excitement lining it. Natural for a newly-turned wolf or pup.

Well, that was the first round and he is definitely showing signs.

This time I pushed out a much more aggressive growl, yet not too much to scare him. To my surprise, he shot back with a large growl of his own! His force pushing at me to the point I stumbled back slightly, losing my footing.

Are you fucking kidding me? He almost outdid some of the newly-turned members of our pack! I growled back again to match him, we were a duo of power!

This brought on not only some worry but a swell of pride flowing through me. My son was not only a Werewolf judging from this moment, but a strong one at that.

“Well done!” I clapped my hands at him, kneeling down beside him. Very good indeed, “Next we will try a more advanced one.”

Onto howling, much similar to growling, it is a force of power we push out as a sign of communication. I took a deep breath and let out a howl, not for the pack but for just us two.

Without skipping a beat he sat up on his knees, howling alongside me. Again his power crawling to match my own.

Dare I say it, but if this goes on… We may have a future alpha on our hands..

That’s a terrifying thought.

We worked on a few other things, Digging, running, and most of all just getting him to understand his need to control his power and at the same time make it seem like a game. He’s too young yet to fully understand everything and I want him to stay as young as he can.

Also don’t want Poppy getting freaked out either.

We kept on running around the yard, thinking how freeing it was to do this without prying eyes.

(Or so he thought……)

Later that night:

By the end of our training it was getting dark, Jasper was clearly tuckered out but enjoyed every second of the “games” we were playing. I took him back upstairs to prep him for dinner and bed.

I decided to test his diet as well. I brought up two plates of food and asked him if he wanted to try two pieces of meat, cooked little pieces of steak or…..Raw meat.

He looked to each plate, eyes shifting quickly between both. Licking his lips as he did.

Surprisingly he reached out for the raw meat and chomped his little teeth into it. A look of content as he started chewing away. Another mark checked on the Werewolf trials…

“Daddy my teeth better,”

A wash of worry hit me, ” Your teeth have been hurting?”

He nodded his head at me and chomped again on the meat.

“But this good!“ he squealed, humming slightly as he finished the meat.

This meant his fangs were starting to come in. The meat being chewy was helping him cope with it. Thankfully we can play that off as normal teething for a bit… I hope.

I’m also going to need to hide the evidence of the raw meat before Poppy gets home..

And hunt double time now!

——————————-

After a quick potty training session I was surprised to see Poppy in Jasper’s room, Waiting for us.

“Hey Pops, How was your day?” I stammered out, still a bit shocked by her presence and feeling the guilt seep in, sneaking around like this was getting to me.

“Actually pretty well,” She smiled, happy to talk about her day, “On the way to the store I ran into that stupid fucking welcome wagon gang and well…They dragged me along for a welcome lunch at Chez Llama. It was kinda nice actually as much as I hate to admit it.”

That was actually very nice to hear. After learning of her mysterious amnesia, she never had any relationships aside from us and well this may now be a good advantage for many reasons.

Not being selfish or anything…

Before I could say anything in response, Jasper came running in, his little Wolf onesie on and being super adorable as usual.

“Hi Mommy!!!” He squealed, giving her a big sloppy kiss on her face. He sat on the floor as he animatedly babbled at her.

“Did you have a good day sweetie?” She asked him, her face brightened at his happy attitude. I am thinking him being able to let his Wolf tendencies out took alot of aggression out of him and helped him to better control his mood. Hmm will have to keep up with that.

“YEAH!” He screamed in a high pitch voice, bouncing around and suddenly getting up and barreling into me. “Daddy and I played games all day!”

Please dont say anything. Please don’t say anything.

“We pretended we were Puppies!!!” HE giggled out and a little gallop around the room.

Thankfully she didn’t think anything of it.

“That’s wonderful honey!,” She beamed at her son’s laughter then looked to me, ” But now it’s time to wind down, who do you want to put you to bed?”

He looked to me and smiled the cutest little toothy grin.

“DadDDdddddYYYYY,” He squealed again.

“Okay okay, I can see where I am not wanted,” She sighed in a playfully dramatic tone, “Thankfully Mommy could use some sleep so Daddy can handle Goodnight time.”

She stood up and quicker pecked a small kiss upon his head and started to walk past me.

“Have fun.”

Within minutes I was passed out in bed. I sat down next to him. Mentally drained by the day… My son is for sure a Werewolf and a powerful one at that. This poses a lot of factors….. Within our family, the pack, and the world… I had no fucking idea what I was going to do about this…

I just know I gotta tell the pack before hell breaks loose. We at least need to figure out protection before anything else…

TO BE CONTINUED…….

Healing Ties - Chapter 21 - Part 2

*Warning: Adult Content*  

There was a knock on the door and Hamish hauled himself to his feet to answer it.

Carrying trays of food were a young mage woman and a Companion boy.

The Companion looked no more than twelve or thirteen, only just old enough to be put up for sale.

The Companion watched Fanner, a frown on his face that felt almost hostile.

After a few seconds he seemed to remember himself and he forced a smile.

It didn't look fake, exactly but he seemed to have had to fight against something in himself to get there.

Fanner did his best to return it.

"Ah, thanks," Hamish said as he took the tray from the woman.

"Fanner, this is Lynna. She's our technology expert. And Kin... what do you do, Kin?"

Kin shot Hamish a glare as Simon took the tray of food from him.

Hamish gave him a grin in return.

"Kin helps the other children with their lessons," Danya offered. "He taught Jasper how to write his name. He can't hold a pencil well enough yet, so he found some paints for him to use."

Jasper took his toy out of his mouth and looked up at Fanner.

"I'm really good at reading."

"You can't read at all," Kin told him.

"I can. I can read my name."

"That's one word."

"It's a big word."

Kin fell silent, his lips pressing together in an angry line.

He took a deep breath in and let it out.

He seemed genuinely upset but Jasper had already turned his attention back to his toy.

"Well, it's nice to finally meet you, Fanner," Lynna said. "I can't believe Yore just found you like that. Though, if it was going to be someone, I'm not surprised it was him. You tend to end up helping people an awful lot when you're always trying to. He saved my life once."

He'd saved Fanner's life, what, three times in as many days?

Something like that.

"He's a very kind person. I'm very grateful not just that he saved me but also that I've had his support over these last few days."

That was probably the most words Fanner had said in front of anyone here but Danya so far and he had actually managed to speak eloquently and smoothly for once but he still felt weird, like he was doing this wrong.

"He's a good friend," Lynna offered him a gentle smile before turning to the others.

"Well, we'll get out of your way now and let you enjoy your dinner. It was nice meeting you, Fanner."

"Yes, um. You too."

Fanner missed Yore.

It felt strange, to miss someone he hardly knew.

The only other people he had ever truly missed were Danya and Duran and he certainly hadn't become that attached to them in just a few days.

But Yore was different.

He had made Fanner feel like maybe there were no wrong answers.

He had let Fanner keep calling him sir until Fanner had felt comfortable stopping on his own.

He doubted if he did that to Hamish or Simon right now it would go down well.

He had started to become comfortable just speaking his mind, no matter whether he stuttered over his words or spoke with more formality than the situation called for.

Yore had accepted it all.

Here, it felt like he was being judged.

Not with the intention of rejecting or punishing him, of course.

If anything, everyone was on the lookout for signs he might need help or support, indications that he was struggling.

Maybe Yore had only been different because they were together temporarily, so Yore hadn't thought he needed to solve all of Fanner's problems.

But still, he had started to develop a fondness for the slight taste of just being he had gotten in Yore's presence.

Maybe in the long run it wasn't even what he needed but it was exhausting to feel like every interaction was a test.

Even if it was mostly only in his own mind.

And perhaps it was only in his own mind because Yore had clearly been paying attention.

He had to have been because he had been responsive to Fanner's needs and concerns.

It had just felt different.

Perhaps because it was just the two of them.

You can't be an outsider where there are only two people.

Lynna and Kin left and as Danya began setting up the table, Fanner noticed a problem.

There were five people but only four chairs.

"Oh, um. I can eat on the floor..." Fanner offered.

The look of gentle pity Danya sent his way only made Fanner feel worse, so he dropped his gaze.

"You're our guest, Fanner," Danya told him. "We would get another chair or someone else would sit on the floor before we asked you to. You're not beneath anyone. It's not an issue, though. Sitting on chairs is uncomfortable for Jasper, so he never eats at the table anyway."

"Oh," Fanner said.

That was it.

'Oh.'

He could feel his mind shuttering and his body on high alert and he didn't know what to do about it.

He felt like he was building a teetering stack of blocks inside of himself and each action added another to the top of an already unstable pile.

He didn't know exactly where the limit lay or what would happen when he reached it.

He couldn't eat.

He would throw up if he tried.

That much was clear to him from the moment he sat down.

The food looked lovely, a chunky stew with some kind of flatbread for dipping but Fanner's stomach roiled at the thought of eating any of it.

His breathing was coming too fast and his throat felt tight.

He tried taking a sip of water to calm himself down and nearly choked on it.

What would they think of him if he refused to eat?

It probably wasn't easy to keep a place like this supplied.

He would seem so ungrateful.

"Fanner...?" Danya asked and Fanner jumped when Danya placed a hand on his arm.

Fanner looked up and met Danya's gaze with wide eyes.

He felt like he couldn't breathe properly.

Everything felt strange and distant.

Fanner looked up and met Danya's gaze with wide eyes.

He felt like he couldn't breathe properly.

Everything felt strange and distant.

"Okay," Danya said gently, taking Fanner's hand and standing from the table.

He led Fanner away, through the door into the other room in the small cabin.

There was a bed in it large enough for two people and not much else.

Danya shut the door behind them and guided Fanner down onto the bed.

"Try to breathe slowly," Danya told him. "You're okay. You're safe and nobody is upset with you."

Fanner nodded and did his best to follow Danya's instructions.

"I'm sorry."

"There's nothing to be sorry for. You've been through a lot. It's just catching up with you."

Fanner nodded again.

Breathing was becoming easier and now he just wanted to cry.

"It's okay, Fanner. It's not your fault. Do you want to sleep?"

Fanner nodded.

"Okay. You can sleep in here. I'll come and join you later and Simon can sleep in the other room with Jasper tonight."

"He won't mind? I don't want to kick him out of his bed..."

"He won't. I promise. He's not some human you need to be careful not to cause any trouble for. He's your brother in law. He's family."

Fanner nodded but it was hard to convince himself that such a thing could possibly be true.

He wasn't even sure the fundamental concept of family was something he was capable of fully processing.

At least not yet.

"I know. It's hard to adjust."

Danya stood up from the bed and gave Fanner a melancholic smile.

"I'm so glad we found you, Fanner. I missed you."

"I missed you too."

Fanner's brain felt like it was abuzz with anxiety and everything that had happened over the last few days trying to force itself to the forefront of his mind all at once.

Even after Danya was gone and he had laid down in the dark, he didn't expect sleep to come for him any time soon.

That was one of the last coherent thoughts he had before he drifted into a deep and much needed sleep.

Zookeeper story - part 2

Today would be the last day he supervised me on my rounds—apparently this was not typical protocol, but we were understaffed and Jasper told me that I performed far better than other employees, so he felt comfortable cutting my training short.

We entered the small mammals room, where the parvinnet was sitting on the edge of her bed, idly fidgeting and tearing at the cotton between her fingers.

“Okay, this is actually great timing,” Jasper said as he took me closer to the tank. The parvinnet immediately tensed and stopped fiddling with the corton, moving back into her bed and curling up.

“So, a little test for you: what was the parvinnet just doing?”

My brows furrowed. “Uh… looked like she was just fiddling with the fluff of her bed?”

Jasper nodded. “Anything you notice about that? Any thoughts about it?”

He was obviously prompting me for something, so I thought about what he wanted me to say. I supposed he did stress the fact that the parvinnet kept trying to escape, so maybe something about that?

“Uh… she doesn’t usually do that with her bed, so maybe she’s trying to escape under the fluff or something?” I tried.

Jasper gave me a smile in response. “Very good! That’s exactly what I was looking for.”

“For the record,” the parvinnet interjected, “what I was ACTUALLY doing was literally anything I could possibly think of to do, since there’s not much in this fucking cage in the way of intellectual stimulation.”

“It’s also an active day, clearly,” Jasper added, “so you should definitely be suspicious. You wanna do an inspection, rookie?”

Not really, but I supposed this was a job, and that did mean that I was going to have to do stuff I didn’t want to do. I stepped forwards and leaned in close to the glass.

I… didn’t like listening to Jasper talk to the parvinnet the way he did on my first day. I wanted to try a more gentle approach.

“Hey,” I said. “So, uh… I mean, you heard all that. Would you mind scooching for a moment so we can check under your bed?”

She just huffed. “Honestly I’d rather not?” I could see the corner of her mouth quirk up a bit in a smile.

“See that?” Jasper pointed out. “Remember what I said about dominance? She’s gonna be a pain in the ass if you’re not stern. You don’t have to ask her to move. You can just move her.”

I frowned.

“Keep in mind what I said a few days ago, though,” the parvinnet interjected. “Might wanna wear gloves. You’d be surprised how sharp my teeth are.”

“One more quip and you’re not getting fed tomorrow,” Jasper huffed.

The parvinnet was quiet.

“See?” He prompted. “It has a place. You need to make sure it remembers where that place is.”

“I… don’t like this,” I admitted. “This game of dominance and submission and threats…”

“I know, Evelyn,” Jasper said gently. “It sucks, but this is the game she’s making us play. The only way to stop it is to win.”

I still wasn’t sure about that.

I knelt back down again. “What if we got you a second bed?” I asked her. “And if you promised to alternate each night, we could check the one you’re not sleeping in without bugging you. Then, the next night, you sleep in the one we checked the night before, and we check the other one. I get my inspection in, and you get to rest peacefully without being bothered. What do you think?”

She turned to look at me, brows furrowed.

Jasper sighed. “Evelyn, you gotta just move the little shit. And I’m training you, so I can’t just do it for you. This is a good lesson. She’s gonna keep pushing until—“

The parvinnet suddenly stood up and got out of bed, sitting down on the ground a short distance away. She gestured to the fluff. “Inspect to your heart’s content,” she said. “I really was just tearing at it idly to give my hands something to do.”

I met her gaze and took a moment to look closely at her eyes. I noticed it on my first day, too, but this was the clearest look I had gotten of them. Pitch black, all the way through. Everything else about her anatomy looked so humanoid, but I guess it does make sense that her pupils couldn’t be proportionally smaller? Light would still need to come in. I didn’t really understand how eyeballs that large could fit in her head, nor, now that I think of it, how she could be speaking at all with a windpipe that small, but that was a conundrum for later, I supposed.

I gave her a smile. “Thanks,” I said genuinely. I really didn’t want to have to move her. And not only because of the biting—it just felt really wrong to treat the parvinnet the way Jasper was trying to get me to, and I genuinely appreciated her cooperation so I didn’t have to do any of that.

“That’s not gonna work again,” Jasper muttered. “She’s just trying to spite me. If I wasn’t here, she’d be trying to piss you off.”

“Is it really so hard to believe that I won’t be a stubborn bitch to the one person who actually tried to compromise?” The parvinnet huffed as I checked under the fluff for any holes in the cage.

“Nothing here,” I confirmed before Jasper could respond. “Thanks again, feel free to go back to sleep while we fill your food bowl and stuff,” I said to the parvinnet.

She gave me a look I couldn’t quite get a good grasp on before getting back into bed and curling up. I finished my work and headed over to the other exhibits.

“I’m not gonna stop you from trying this approach,” Jasper said, “but just keep in mind what I said. I really do think she’s gonna try her best to be a pain, so when the gentle method starts failing, you gotta take the gloves off and just show dominance.”

I nodded, but didn’t really listen. I didn’t want to do that. I didn’t want to treat her the way he did.

I could find a way to make my way work.
