I wanna go off about Pentious and Cherri because I adore them
I saw a post in the cherrisnake tag explaining how the whole night club scene felt a little OOC, and I totally agreed! Until I thought... Is it? I agree with the person who wrote the post (here is link to post) that Pentious seems like the kind of dude who would be asking for her fathers permission to court her! I've honestly wanted to write fanfics just like this back when the pilot came out, he really does give off those types of vibes!
I feel like the first few gestures of buying her a drink was him being gentlemanly! But again, like the person who wrote that post said, the mans probably got a lil buzzed, lettin the drinks talk as he moved forward with his Rule Of 3 comedy moment! Again, I fully agree haha! However, I do think another side of his personality was showing during this moment!
Sir Pentious has a desire to be accepted by those he admires! He wants the V's to see him, he wants other Overlords to notice him and his work! He will act like them if necessary! He's hip and cool! Or at least he really thinks he is! That club was Cherris scene! He was invited out by her! He had to act like her! Right??? That would impress her, RIGHT?! Asking her to do things with him that didn't seem... like him? She'd like that, right? That's what she does! She brought him there, after all (only because Charlie told her to, but he never thought he'd make it this far!)
After talking with Charlie in those last few episodes (in the background), the girl probably gave him sound advice to be himself as he tried to confess to Cherri. Being like Cherri didn't work with flirting with her (altho I personally, think she thinks he's a cute silly), so he might as well be himself. Someone who isn't trying to fight with her and "enemies/arch rivals". As he fumbles and runs away, it does look like she's a little sad he didn't confess, although I've seen a few argue that she just looked confused. Even after Angel told her she could hit that, in my personal opinion there was a hint of sadness.
In the fun facts, it says Sir Pentious died in the 19th century. I know he's an inventor, but the fact that he wears a generals outfit makes me wonder if that was him just... Being a silly lil guy thinking back to his time where he could have been high up in the ranks for war, or if he actually was! How much has he been through in life? Was he unable to confess his love before dying? I went to the wiki and couldn't find any information, although even if there were, I'm not sure how much I'd trust from wiki or how much of the info might be considered outdated now that the show is actually out!
The idea that he knew he was risking his after life, about to double die, he didn't want regrets about confessing to Cherri, especially after failing to the night before. Whether he had a similar experience in the living life or not, I do adore that Sir Pentious was able to be himself at least somewhat. Cherri was clearly charmed.
I do see him as a character that would try to court her over time, something I could DEF write a slow burn about! But I do love that he was written as someone who WANTED to get these feelings off his chest! Maybe if he could have, then he could have woo'd her like a proper gentleman! Maybe if we had a longer season, we could have seen more of that. His different attempts, trying to act like others thinking that'd impress her. Not fully aware that being himself was actually the answer all along. Yes, being himself was in a 'life' or death situation and it PROBABLY wasn't exactly how he could have wanted it to go down, but he was nonetheless, able to confess. Not pretending to be someone he wasn't. Yes, he agreed he was out of his mind, but he was being crazy for sacrificing himself! There wasn't time to think, he just had to do. There wouldn't be regrets. He was doing this for his friends, for her, in hopes to keep them safe or buy time.
So I do wish he took his time with her. Was able to flirt, court, and awkwardly confess at his own rate (figuring out he didn't have to pretend he was just like her and could do everything she did, fumbling it lmao) I could see how someone could think this was a ship pushed too quickly and out of the blue- maybe if there was more time in the season it wouldn't have seemed that way! I'm biased, I've been shipping them since the pilot! However, with the screen time they did get, I think it was written well!
And who knows?! There are theories he will lose his memory now that he's in Heaven, he will have lost his memory (which would be VERY sad, but I also adore the drama). I've seen posts where Charlie goes up again or Emily reaches out and they find out Pentious is there! I wouldn't be surprised if Emily remembered The Rizz Master who failed to flirt with a girl 3 times in one night at a club. I do fear Sera is going to do something to him, prevent him from doing anything as the news sinners can come to Heaven shouldn't be known or smth idk... But, I like the opportunities for Cherri and Sir Pentious that they may have in the future!
For all Cherri knows, right now Sir Pentious is double dead! The shipping possibilities are endless with him now being in Heaven! I saw a cute post about them writing letters and sending them to each other via Charlie. I could see Pentious writing this long, elegant letter with a reply of "LMAO XD RAWR" and him LOVING IT!
I'd love to know others thoughts, I just wanted to ramble about them.

Stay With Me is a censored BL
Honestly speaking I’m flabbergasted by the fact that viewers still question whether Stay With Me is just a bromance or a BL.
I’m not even gonna talk about previous episodes in which it was already pretty obvious in my opinion with all the subtext (and even if it wasn’t Wu Bi’s “Su You is mine!” should have done the job) but okay, even if we ignore all of these...
Episode 13 has done it. This episode confirmed that it’s a BL. And you can’t even question it anymore. 
Exhibit A:
Tumblr media
Su Yu dug up the box from episode 9 in which all three of them (Wu Bi, Su Yu and Duo) put in papers or “letters” with their own wish. They agreed to wait 10 years to open it together.
Tumblr media
Whoever digs up the box first is a puppy. Su Yu couldn’t wait that long though. He had to know what Wu Bi wrote in his letter.
Tumblr media
He reads Wu Bi’s letter and he is very pleased about what he finds out.
Tumblr media
By reading the letter he figured everything out. How? I’m pretty sure Wu Bi’s letter mentioned something about the fact that he’s in love with Su Yu or at least that he is in love. When they were writing the letters Su Yu’s ex wasn’t even in the picture so even if Wu Bi didn’t explicitly mention Su Yu’s name in the letter Su Yu should be smart enough to suspect that he’s the one Wu Bi is in love with. 
Exhibit B:
Tumblr media
Su Yu’s ex wants to know why he’s cold towards her and why he’s trying to get rid of her asking if it’s because Wu Bi likes her. Su Yu confirms that it’s because Wu Bi likes her (altho at this point Su Yu definitely knows that Wu Bi doesn’t like her but he’s tired of her and he wants to get rid of her without having to explain any further).
The ex thinks that Su Yu is upset because he thinks that she likes Wu Bi back. So she tells him she doesn’t like Wu Bi back. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But Su Yu says he doesn’t give a flying fuck whether his ex likes Wu Bi. 
There is only one reason why Wu Bi liking the ex bothers Su Yu but why Su Yu doesn’t give a damn whether the ex likes Wu Bi.
The girl doesn’t get this. (I guess the rainbow colours didn’t flash in her mind yet and won’t for a very long time.)
The ex says there is no way Su Yu doesn’t like her (oh my god, the amount of self-confidence she has!) since Su Yu punched Wu Bi “for her”.
Tumblr media
But Su Yu easily explains to his ex that he punched Wu Bi “for himself”. 
Why? Because he was jealous. But he wasn’t jealous of the person the ex thinks.
Tumblr media
If it still didn’t translate well I’ll explain: 
Su Yu was jealous about the possibility of Wu Bi being in love with his ex. That’s why he punched Wu Bi. Because they (Wu Bi and Su Yu’s ex) stood so close to each other in episode 12 and Su Yu thought the ex was telling the truth about Wu Bi liking her. 
But Su Yu doesn’t have any feelings for his ex. He said so in previous episodes and said so again in this one. 
Tumblr media
A bit harsh but Su Yu needed to say it out loud like this. The girl just couldn’t get the hint. 
Tumblr media
Su Yu also explain that she helped him “see his own heart clearly”. 
Meaning: Thanks to her intervening he finally understands that Wu Bi likes him (and that Su Yu likes Wu Bi).
Exhibit C:
Su Yu goes to see Wu Bi who tries to explain the entire situation to Su Yu but it doesn’t matter to Su Yu. Why? Because he doesn’t care about the ex. He knows that Wu Bi doesn’t like her, that Wu Bi likes him and that’s enough for him. Nothing else matters.
Tumblr media
Su Yu is also finally clear with Wu Bi about his feelings for his ex.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now all cards are on the table. 
They’re not talking about the lies of the ex. Su Yu already established that he doesn’t care about any of it. They’re talking about something else here.
Tumblr media
Wu Bi leaning in and asking how he figured it out is also pretty telling. The cat’s out of bag. 
They’re talking about Wu Bi’s feelings for Su Yu.
Tumblr media
Now Su Yu’s is also trying to save his face. He doesn’t want to admit he was so desperate that he decided to dig up the box to find out what Wu Bi wrote in his letter. 
So he just focuses on the fact that Wu Bi did tell Duo about his love struggles and he figured the rest out. 
Tumblr media
Honestly speaking no matter how you look at this scene, it reads as romantic with the music in the background, the lighting around them, Wu Bi leaning in more and more... and it’s that way on purpose. It is a romantic scene because the main characters finally confirmed their feelings for each other. Now, to be exact, Su Yu wasn’t as clear to Wu Bi about his feelings for Wu Bi but he told Wu Bi that he figured out Wu Bi likes him and therefore he doesn’t care about the ex anymore. It should read as “i don’t care about her because you like me and I like you too”
I truly do not need a tv show site to tell me if something is a BL and I truly do not need a kiss scene between characters when we know that the show is heavily censored for certain reasons. All I need is to watch the show. Even if the heavy subtext isn’t enough for you the text and everything that was said in episode 13 should have done the job. 
Bonus:
Tumblr media
I think Su Yu wrote something in Wu Bi’s letter and I truly wonder what it is ( In my opinion he confirmed his feelings for Wu Bi in whatever he added to the letter). But I’m sure we’ll find out later on what it was.

SO SO SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU BACK
Don't you mind writing Dorian/Inquisitor marriage proposal? We were so robbed at the end of the game please.
Okay, so I haven't played Dorians romance in a while, so excuse me if its a bit OOC here. Tried my best to keep his personality in check lmao.
I decided to do the Inquisitor proposing to Dorian rather than the other way around, bcs our man deserves that. (Altho I do have an idea for him proposing as well maybe.)
Tumblr media
Dorian can feel that something is off, it's in the air. It's that odd peculiar shift that sometimes passes by unknowingly and gradually but he can pinpoint the exact moment it occurred, it was two weeks ago during dinner. His amatus, the love of his life, the savior of the world- all that very important stuff, looked up at him with the most peculiar look and ever since it's been off.
''You'd tell me, if the world was ending again, wouldn't you?'' He speaks up from his seat near the open fireplace, his love glancing up from the mabari that had kept his focus for most of the night. Dorian didn't actually mind the dog as much as he thought he would. It's kind of cute, in a saliva slobbering kind of way. ''Yes, I'd like to think so. Why? Am I glowing green again?'' The joke falls horribly flat, Dorian does absolutely not smile whatsoever thank you very much.
''No, you're not glowing green. You're just being weird lately. Weirder than usual.'' Dorian can't help but huff, putting his book on the side-table with a lazy arm, it makes an uncomfortably loud 'thud' sound upon hitting the wood and he can't help but frown. ''I'm not being weird, you're being weird.'' Is the lame counter his boyfriend offers, focusing back on the mabari with a laugh.
Except Dorian knows that isn't it, not quite. ''No. Something is off, what is it? You told me after- after everything you'd be more honest.'' After the arm. After the mark almost tore him apart, he'd promised Dorian wholeheartedly to not keep a single thing from him.
His amatus stares for a long moment, long enough for Dorian to fidget in his chair. He pulls at the fabric of his linen shirt, and pushes a hand through his hair in an attempt to look less nervous at bringing up the promise. ''It's not the right moment.'' He finally responds, soft words that are barely heard over the crackling fire. ''I don't care about it being the right moment, if something is wrong I want to know.'' His words have far more bite in them than Dorian intends and he sighs after a while.
''Nothing is wrong, I promise.'' His lover stands up and makes his way across the room, and Dorian tries to not pout as a warm hand makes it to his knee. It's such a gentle motion he probably would've cried had it been done a few years ago.
''Then tell me.'' Dorian pushes and his love dares to smile that stupidly charming smile and make his chest clench in affection. He'd love this man until he died, well and truly. There was no other way around it.
''Very well, but you can't come and complain to me that I didn't do it properly later.'' He sighs and Dorian perks up, sitting up attentively and ignoring the laughter that makes the smallest hint of embarrassment rear its head.
''We've been through a lot, too much probably. And I honestly wasn't sure if I'd survive long enough to ask this. For a while it seemed like I'd be robbed of the chance to do so before it even seemed a possibility.'' Their hands interlink and Dorian for the millionth time notices all the small scars that cover his lovers hand. They speak tales of battles fought before and after they met, struggles nobody could ever dare to try and understand.
''But there was never a doubt in my mind. Because you are the most brilliant man I've ever met, compassionate enough for both us and snarky enough.'' ''Excuse you, I will have you know-'' Dorian interrupts but quickly gets shushed with a grin. ''Shush, I'm being romantic, love.'' His love laughs, pressing a kiss against Dorian's hand and sure enough its enough to shut him up.
''What I was saying, before I was rudely interrupted. Is that you have enough positive qualities that I could write more than a few books about it. You know, normally people have enough time to write speeches down for these things- but you just had to be so perceptive.'' Dorian should probably be annoyed at that, but he just grins- the most proud smug look that he could manage right now when he feels the need to cry sneak up on him.
''You're tearing up, oh, andraste's tits-'' ''Amatus, hurry up and ask so I can say yes.''
''Dorian, will you marry me?'' The question is barely asked before Dorian kisses him, all giggly and warm and far too eager. They stumble to the floor and their laughter bounces off the walls of the study, Dorian's tears an annoying addition he'd lie about later if asked.
''Yes, I'll marry you. I'll marry you a hundred times over, fall in love with you in every life possible- you absolute fool, I followed you to the ends of the world, of course I'll marry you.''
Dorian followed him to the ends of the world and he'd do it again, but this time he'd much prefer if they had matching rings for the occasion.

Slipknot Vermillion Butchlander.
FUCK. YES.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH~<3<3<3 buckle in buckle in y'all cause this about to be a DOOZY<3!!
songs if ya hadn't heard them~<3 (def give them a listen, pt.2 is like an acoustic version, both lovely~<3, same general themes tho different vibes which-- ;))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
youtube
youtube
anywho~<3
FIRST OF ALL. YES. absolutable~<3
you beautiful beautiful little monster, this is PERFECT. okay, okay, yes, i'm getting too excited lmao. BUTT--
"I won't let this build up inside a me--"
this is an absolutely perfect opportunity for a deep dive into billy's psyche, psychosis, and an incredible exploration of psychological horror~<3
and it starts~?
with a *married* butchlander<3<3<3 OOH~<3!! (altho fair to use for for other ships with butcher, just doesn't get to the same level of psychological turmoil from the whole *husband is the villain* thing--;)))))))))) ANYWHO<3
basically butcher and homie are in a loving, *healthy* relationship. john is a good husband. maybe they even have ryan<3 or a little baby in billy's belly on the way<3<3<3 (or both~! lmao, always gotta throw that in-- ;))))))))))) a/b/o always an option, trans/intersex billy too, the world is the oyster~<3 any explanation like homie can just knock dudes up i guess lmfao--maybe that was the start-- :O ;)))))))) anyway, everything's perfect--except...
billy's having a bit of psychological... trouble. in which for some reason, his brain seems to be fabricating an entire reality with a loving and perfect wife, becca/becky--where his husband is the villain who tore them apart... and the situation in turn... starts to drive him and john apart...
and at first, of course, they'd be managing, between medications, care, brain scans, billy having nightmares and dreams, john trying to help, fighting and screaming, moments homie would have to hold billy down because he's having a meltdown, john having all the proof to keep billy from going nuclear/make it clear that he's... unwell, and that he's there for billy. maybe even a dna test to show that ryan is *theirs* and no one else's if a baby still in billy ain't enough--
but trust is wavering.
OOH, exploration into billy falling down that rabbit hole and believing it so much, he makes an effort to investigate and run away while homie always comes to get him/find him, drag him back home--and always *always*, refuse to hurt him even while billy is at his worst trying to force his hand, maybe even asking john to kill him so this doesn't continue--and again, his husband refusing.
now here's the kicker<3<3<3
this story could be done in two main ways (with expansive variations~<3, 3 if you count the middle road<3<3<3)
OOH! but before i dive into that, i should also mention that billy potentially being the *villain* in his own mind--in which he kidnaps and tortures and holds captive this *perfect* woman while john is none the wiser--ooooooohhhhhh... we'll come back to that one~<3 ;)
back on *john* being the villain in billy's mind.
"she isn't real. I can't make her real--"
and there in lies the *question*...
whether or not billy *is* experiencing psychosis and john is *actually* the villain, is it's own exploration~<3<3<3. depending on which version (regular or pt. 2), you channel the vibes of lmao
pt. 2 def feels like it could be more of a tragic rendition of this idea, where billy really *is* experiencing psychosis and john *is* a loving husband who *is* trying to help and care for billy<3
but the original...? mmm. let's just say there could be various... hints of a completely manipulated world around them--signs of a world *rewritten* or people silenced ,sides to john that he never *ever* shows to billy. certain... *things* that would certainly *imply* he is the *monster* billy's mind has made him--maybe it's billy's real memories trying to spill through whatever homelander did to him-- ;))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
mmmmmhmmmm~<3<3<3
BUTT, my personal fave?
*open. ended*
in which... there are... hints that might suggest one is true, and then the other, or even elements of both, but there's never truly an answer given... OOOH<3 FUCK YES. OOF, just the IDEA def gets me lol
i do feel the songs lean towards the 'she isn't real' factor (for obvious reasons lol) but for a fic~? ;))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
for variation in that exploration (and maybe an easy way to dig into the open ended vibes, but with a twisty lean~<3), maybe *most* of the 'hints' implicate one way with extremely *vague* BLINK AND YOU MISS IT hints for the *other* end, and one very *strong* hint/scene that ties together all the *vague* hints and makes them... impossible to ignore~<3
gawd i love psychological horror<3<3<3 lmao can you tell?
NOW. what about *billy* being the villain~<3?
OOOOHHHHHHH!!! now *that* one has some *real* hard potential for gut wrenching love from john<3<3<3 (i should also mention, *def* an option for psychosis with *john* there and OOF gotta stop giving myself expansions into this but it's just so FUCKING GOOD, LISTEN TO THE SONGS DAMMIT AND FEEL INSPIRED--)
similar enough deal, except with billy believing he's committed these horrible crimes to an innocent woman, a wonder of it might have been real or not and john trying to be by his side and settle his mind--and of course, the potential for a seriously covered up horrific crime because john's not about to lose his husband *for any reason*<3<3<3
maybe billy believes he committed the crime when it was really john and they covered it up together but billy--
this of course works just as lovely for the *canon compliant* show option with *john* feeling the full brunt of his psychosis--and billy trying to cover it up... *OR*... did it really happen at all? is billy right, is ryan really *their* son and there was no becky/becca?
;)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
oh i know i am absolutely TERRIBLE I KNOW-- but listen. LISTEEEENNNN... I FUCKING LOVE PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR, OKAY!?!?!
anywho~<3
there's also an element of serious *danger* involved with homie being the one to experience psychosis (powers and all, def one with billy too but not nearly as savage--unless a course ya give him powers too<3), especially if homie *convinces* himself that he *is* this *monster*, and therefore *must* act as this monster.
ooh, def some dives into comics themes but it go a little somethin'... like this:
"i think, therefore i am" or cogito, ergo sum (heeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyy that's a title if i ever done seen one for this one lmfao only if 'vermillion' isn't used i guess, alternatively 'cinnabar'<3)
and
"i can, therefore i must"
but the comics actually have a perfect set up for this too--OOH! it kinda goes back to that 'detective husbands' prompt lmao (expect a little different obviously) where instead of being a 'convinced i'm right when i'm wrong' dickwad billy or even *homie knows he didn't do it* (he would have to be on that edge of sanity/not know for sure for this one to work<3) we have a billy who actually legit *explores* and *investigates* what happened to becky because he *sees* that things don't add up *before* he starts actively making it worse. instead doing his own *solo* detective work~<3
maybe even stalking, meeting, getting to know homelander (*john*) personally. possibly even with the motive of finding his weakness, etc. and then tripping and landing on his dick and falling in love along the way~<3<3<3
lmao could be that billy even *abandons* the boys to get to the bottom of what really happened-- but also cause he ends up knocked up after realizing homie *was not* in fact the culprit<3<3<3
do feel the homie versions (show or comics) would deal less with the 'vermillion' vibes or i guess less chance for *open ended* horror themes, and more of a cut clean *he did it/he didn't do it* and is losing his mind sorta feel. in a sense, *becky* def *wouldn't* be real for comics homie because they never actually interacted (while the show version could be actively trying to remember her/struggling with who he *used* to be--OOH!! jason blood is def a place to look for inspo there~<3), so the tie in could be *exquisite* for sure, but it def is a slightly different feel lol
honestly might consider writing the comics/vermillion themed one (at some point, i have promised myself to other shit), it would explore billy instead of using homie as an excuse to be his worst self, homie becoming billy's excuse to hold onto what becky actually wanted for him/turn homie good (which is cute and sad in it's own way but could be SO fucking precious<3) and that would be some GOOD shit<3<3<3
FUCK! this is probably gonna build up inside a me i--

No not the love island girl, altho i heard about the rumour as well. There were a few of his insta hoes that hinted he's meh in bed. Some of them made insta story about it. Some of them hinted in their q&a. Obviously they didn't mention his name and didn't say directly that he's bad in bed but you know them hoes... they like to hint stuff and the clues they gave matched ruben 😭😭
Also there's a girl he met on his holiday that said he's boring af and she tried to talk to him but he was kinda in his world so she then decided not to hook up with him 😭 (she didn't mention name but typical insta hoes leaving clues here and there)
Again, take it as a pinch of salt these are just rumours
Damn anon you're coming throughhhhhh
Honestly rumors like that easily can go around falsely when you're a hoe like he is😭These wouldn't happen if he had a close circle and made them girls sign an NDA or sth....Also what where they exactly asked in their q&a?
The part ab him being in his own world makes sense cause i've heard from multiple people who have met him that he's shy. Maybe he wasn't even interested in that girl
Personally with the amount of people he's slept with i don't think he is "bad" in bed but like as you mentioned he probably is too vanilla for them hoes. Justice for vanilla men✊🏼

Masters feels like it’s doing this on purpose lol. We have another story event and it jokingly feels like this
“We want the twins to get a story event to resolve things”
Gamefreak:okay. Here’s Tate and Liza summer event
“No, we mean the Unova siblings”
Gamefreak:ohhhh…here’s a story event featuring the Unova Triplets
In all fairness though, it’s cool they are tackling some of the underrated characters as a cool down from the Hisui Leaders making everyone go broke trying to get them, and does feel like we are getting close to actually tackling the elephant in the room. I just felt this fit with the talk of Gamefreak teases
It wouldn't surprise me if they did! They love teasing us Submas fans. Altho if that eventually gives us more content of the twins, I can't complain. I like the Unova Triplets a lot as well! In fact, back when I first played pokemon bw in 2010, they were my favorites! Very happy to see more of them aside from Cilan in the anime ^^
As long as they acknowledge the Ingo in Hisui situation and eventually close that plot point in some way, I'm fine with it. Even if it's just hinted at and not shown. Reunite the subway bosses, Gamefreak, don't be cowards.

Hello, I was asked to translate the authors' comments from inside the book jackets of Volume 30 and 31
Volume 30:
Kagami Sensei's comment reads - "There was something I wanted to do a little studying on, so that's what I've been at nonstop from 5 in the morning to 2 at night. I'd planned to wrap things up in three days and I'm on track to do so. It's a serious effort, and reminds me how students who are in exam prep work even harder. I don't have to study anything I don't already want to, you all are the real heroes!"
Yamamoto Sensei's comment reads - "We've finally reached volume 30, where Yuuichirou and Mikaela walk back through memories of the past. There are lots of surprises in store, so everyone, please enjoy it!"
Volume 31:
Kagami Sensei's comment reads - "Aaaaaaaaaah I'm too busy to think of a comennnnnnntttt aaaaaah from now on this next ten years, I've decided to break records in amount of pages written so I'll be doing my best on that!"
Yamamoto Sensei's comment reads - "It's volume 31 and we've arrived at the journey through and complete dissection* of Yuuichirou and Mikaela's past! What will become of the angels....I hope you're excited to find out!"
*the word used here that I've translated to dissection would probably at least in colloquial terms be more accurately called 'bible study' in English (altho while doing some checking ive seen it referred to other abrahamic religions not just specifically the bible but y'know for clarity's sake). I'm pretty sure this was used here to play off the religious theming and context the manga has going on right now they're like hinting at that but I just can't think of a way to really convey that with one word in English rn
@ferimika-gives-me-life thank you for your request as always :)

Inspired by @doyouknowthismcyt I wanted to highlight some of the more obscure MCYTers that I enjoy
This is part 1, where I decided to pick three completely different but equally unique and interesting channels:
PiroPito (nana825763)
PiroPito has one of the most fascinating Minecraft let's plays I've ever seen, because he refuses to look up any hints or guides. His goal is to figure everything out based on the game itself. He's been playing since 2017 and he's still going (altho slower these days).
He has gotten spoiled a couple of times (mostly by his nieces who sometimes show up in his videos to be little menaces) but overall he's literally figuring everything out just using ingame guidelines, which Minecraft famously has very little of (and even less so when he started out).
Sometimes he misses some really basic things or develops some wacky misconceptions, but he's also really smart and very good at deducing stuff based on the smallest of hints. It's a joy to watch him figure things out. And it really changes your perspective on the game like no other series.
He also has an absurd level of patience and tenacity, and a little bit of an obsessive personality, which you really need in order to thrive with a challenge like this.
The Mojang team have also mentioned being inspired by his series:

Squibble
Squibble is a redstoner who specialises on stupid and useless machines and bizarre obscure mechanics. Their creations are almost always either too impractical to ever build in survival or just entirely pointless in the first place, like absurdly elaborate ways to display text, 3D printers, flying machines that count distance based on hoe durability or the fastest way to automatically destroy the largest amounts of iron (the anti-iron farm)
The videos are never longer than they need to be, they're presented with a lot of dry humour, and the dedication to optimising completely ridiculous contraptions is just beautiful to watch. They will regularly reiterate how impractical or useless their projects are and then put hours and hours of hard work into making them the best versions of themselves.
(They're actually a lot like Zedaph in theory but not at all in terms of presentation. Zedaph in a different font, I guess)

Gneiss Name
Gneiss is a real life geologist who makes videos explaining geology via Minecraft and analysing Minecraft from a geological perspective. His videos are really cool because he's also a skilled coder and he makes cool displays ingame to help demonstrate what he's talking about, and he uploads the worlds so you can tour them yourself. They're like virtual science exhibits.
He also talks about colour theory a lot, also with cool displays and coding magic.

Reassurance —> Vernon
Tumblr media
vernon x gn reader (like no specific pronouns altho i wrote it in a female perspective???)
childhood friends au, non-idol au, hint of university au
genre/warnings: insecurity, reader tries to shy away from problem instead of addressing it but Vernon is convincing :3, mentions of a food place
note: vernon has been on my mind lately and i stumbled upon some prompts in pinterest lol. put two and two together and this happened. this is so cliche and generic but i hope you like it :3
Vernon was attractive.
That’s a well-known fact that has been confirmed multiple times since you two were little. There was always someone crushing over him, fawning over his looks and admiring him from afar. Some are even bold enough to actually make a move on him. 
And there were times when they succeeded. Of course, it’s inevitable for Vernon to start dating. 
It was intolerable for you. You didn’t have the guts to confess, so you had to watch him be with these people he’s dating. 
Except now, he's yours. Years and years of pining over your best friend, and now he’s your boyfriend. Sounds like a dream come true, doesn’t it?
Problem is, you never really got used to those lingering eyes on him. Whenever you two eat in the cafeteria at lunch, you can see girls unsubtly staring and squealing at him from the other table. In your favourite burger place near your dorms, this one cashier would be staring at him with eyes that resembled those heart-shaped things in cartoons. 
It’s not like Vernon gave you a reason to be insecure. When you two started dating, he made sure to decline all of the advances made by other people. He isn’t big on PDA, but he proudly holds your hand whenever you walk together. (And it makes you all soft inside cos his palm is so warm against yours-)
Yes, you know Vernon is attractive. But sometimes it just gets to you. Like now.
This one girl keeps on chatting Vernon up. From the time she spotted him until now, she has NOT left you two. She’s been sharing some funny stories with him, occasionally patting his shoulder and touching his arm. Best of all, she’s not acknowledged you at all. She isn’t doing anything that’s drawing the line, but something tells you that she will once you’re out of the perimeter. 
You trust Vernon will turn her down just like all the other times this has happened. Sure enough, when he starts to notice your fidgeting, he bids her goodbye and walks you to a different area.
“You ok? You look off.”
You shake your head, crossing your arms to your front. “Just thinking.”
“Yeah?” Vernon sits on a bench and pats the spot beside him. You leave a hand-width space between you two, making him frown. “Care to share?”
You sigh and look ahead, “It’s…just that you’re so attractive.” 
“Huh? That’s what you’re spacing out about?” 
“No!” 
His eyes narrow, eyebrows furrowing in disbelief.
You sigh, “Nevermind it’s stupid. Didn’t we see an arcade on the way here? Let’s go check that out.” 
“Hey hey hey,” he takes your hand and tugs lightly when you try to stand up. “C’mere, let’s talk about this.” He pulls you back down and holds your hand in his, finegrs intertwining.
“I just,” you start to say, “it kind of bothers me how girls still hit on you.”
“...Oh.” 
“Yeah ‘oh’.” 
You two are silent for a while. Then it clicks with Vernon.
“It’s because of the girl earlier, isn’t it?”, he asks. 
When he sees you nod, his thumb traces circles on your hand, a silent way of encouraging you to continue. You feel tears prickling in your eyes, so you close them and lay your head on Vernon's shoulder.
“It just seems like there’s always someone ogling you and chatting you up and trying to make a move on you. I know it’s not your fault cos how can I blame my boyfriend for being so cool and funny and handsome and cute.”
​​ Vernon grins at that but you don't see it.
“But it’s frustrating that it keeps on happening even when they know you aren’t single. And it makes me feel like they can just steal you from me or something-” 
"No no." You shoot your head up in shock and confusion.
You don't get to process him interrupting you before he leans in and touches your lips with his.
When he pulls away, he holds your cheek in his palm. “I’ve known you since we were kids, Y/N. I’m not going anywhere. Plus I’m pretty sure no one else is able to handle my dumbassery for as long as you have.” 
The statement makes you giggle, and Vernon smiles back. “I love what we have,” he moves a strand of hair away from your face, “which means no one’s gonna take me from you. I’m right where I wanna be. Alright?”
 You nod. “I still kinda wanna go to that arcade though.”
“Sure. Tokens on me if you win the claw.”
“Deal.”

OLD HABITS DIE HARD - Part 8/8
Jake “Hangman” Seresin x oc
The fight is over, the mission completed, and as age old rivalries are finally stowed in the back seat, Zoe realizes that not everything from the past needs to stay that way. Particularly not when it looks at her with starry eyes and a breathtaking smile. 
Catch up here: part 1 / part 2 / part 3 / *bonus chapter* / part 4 / part 5 / *bonus chapter* / part 6 / part 7 / ... / *say yes*
Tumblr media
Victory was swift and cunning. 
The carrier was awash with hordes of sailors cheering, arms thrown up in the air, boots stomping, mouths whooping as the adrenaline from what had just happened flooded the deck like the ocean breeze. Hangman let it shift through his sweaty hair, let himself be hounded with nods of appreciation and pats on the shoulder, let it sink deep into his aching bones as he spotted Rooster amongst the crowd. 
Him and Maverick hugged. Something Hangman thought he would never see. 
And then, maybe in an even more bewildering turn of events, Rooster offered his hand to Hangman to shake with a nod of appreciation and muttered words of gratitude. Hangman returned it emphatically.
“Not bad,” he told him, only a hint of bite to his words. “You know, for you.” 
Rooster smirked beneath his mustache, sweat still dripping down his brow, his hands still shaking in exhilaration as he tugged his suit away from his neck. “Well, it could have gone a little smoother.” 
“Just a little?” Hangman laughed. 
Rooster laughed too. Fuck, it felt good to laugh; good to sink into the cheers and happiness and giddiness and disbelief of everyone around them. 
“Alright, it probably could have gone a lot better. But I gotta say Hangman… when it didn’t go according to plan, I’m glad that it was you that had our back up there.” 
Jake blinked at him, a smile cresting his face, eyebrows frozen in his hairline. 
Rooster just blinked back at him, almost as if he also couldn’t believe what he had just said either, and suddenly the pair were laughing while shaking their heads at everything. 
“Rooster? Rooster, oh my god!” a small body parted the boys as someone tackled Bradshaw around the waist. He stumbled back a few steps in surprise, held up only by Bob, before realizing that it was Phoenix who had lunged on him with everything she had left. He hugged her back, laughing as she cried tears of happiness into his flight suit. “You fucking idiot! What were you thinking?”
“I, uh, wasn’t,” he said as he set her boots back onto the deck.
“Christ,” she punched him in the shoulder, though only half-heartedly and with a look of concern more than anything else. Bob took the moment of pause to pat Rooster on the shoulder, then to do the same to Hangman with the most genuine smile he had gotten from the Southern kid yet. “Fucking hell. Three out of four down. Were you trying to give me a heart attack?”
Rooster curled his brows. “Three? What do you mean three? Who was the third?”
And then, just like that, Hangman was wrenched back into reality as he jerked his head around the deck in hopes of spotting a familiar head of hair. 
Fuck. 
He had gotten so wrapped up in everything that he hadn’t even thought—hadn’t even bothered—to ask what had happened with Buzzard and Stitch. The revelry died on his face as he spun on his heel in a circle, panic now replacing everything good and lighthearted and happy. 
“Buzz and Stitch,” Phoenix’s own smile dimmed as she spoke, not liking the way that Rooster’s smile dropped off of his face. “Their wing got hit by shrapnel from a SAM on the way out of the active zone.”
“No. No, they were fine when I turned back for Mav!” Rooster argued hotly.
“They were fine,” she told him, placating almost. Hangman was only half listening as he continued to spin on his heel, almost hoping that he could bring Buzzard into existence if he tried hard enough. “But they’re engine went out a few clicks from the carrier. Both engines, actually, and their jet hit the water pretty hard. Thank fuck they managed to eject. Although, barely.”
Rooster’s face blanched. 
Hangman, tired of waiting, grabbed Phoenix by the shoulders and shook her with a mix of panic and misery crossing his features. “Are they okay? What happened? Is Zoe okay?”
“Yeah—yes. Yeah!” 
Relief snapped through Hangman like a broken rubber band. He sank back onto his heels, but didn’t relax just yet. Him and Rooster towered over Phoenix and Bob as they flickered their gazes between the pair. 
“So they made it back?” Rooster asked as Hangman threw up his hands with a high-pitched and croaky, “well?!”
“They made it back and they’re okay. Well, sorta,” she winced, but smiled all the same, and once she got her thoughts in order Jake could see the relief shining clearly in the depths of her dark, brown eyes. “Real banged up. Stitch managed to get out before too late, so he’s fine other than bruised ribs and a concussion; Buzz ejected too low though, and she took a beating when she hit the water. They said she’s already awake and talking though and—Jake!” 
Hangman didn’t wait to hear any more. 
He just turned boot and hustled across the deck, shoving sailors left and right while also trying not to burst any bubbles of relief and comradery as he did so. He threw a few smiles and appreciative nods at people as they did the same to him, knocked Maverick on the back while brushing by, high-fived Yale and Harvard as he flung open the deck door. 
He didn’t even know where he was going. 
He just bolted left and right, boots pounding on the metal flooring as he tried to orient himself, pausing momentarily when someone gave him vague instructions on where the med-bay was, huffing the entire time. A few sailors yelped as he shoveled past. He didn’t care enough to even apologize to them; not when the ocean air was much staler the deeper he went and the thrum of his heart was beating fast enough that he could hear it in his ears. 
And when he finally made it to the med-bay, boots skidding on the grating so hard that he had to catch himself on the door frame, Hangman was dripping even more sweat than before. Maybe he would have cared that he would be fulfilling a promise to the woman he loved—loved, yeah, that was fucking right, he loved her—while dripping sweat and smelling like motor oil, but when he saw her perched on the edge of a medical bed, he didn’t really care about anything else. 
“Zoe!” he barked. 
“I was wondering when you were gonna show up,” she huffed; half amused and half miserable, smile maybe just as crooked as her hair. 
He ignored it completely, barreling past the nurses and doctors and curious observers to pull her into a searing kiss that made the one he gave her on deck an hour prior feel like child’s play.
“Oh,” she sighed. He kissed her harder; held her tighter. “Ow!” 
He seemed to remember himself. Or, more importantly, he seemed to remember how she had ended up in medical in the first place, and just as quickly as he had kissed her, Hangman wrenched himself off of her in horror. 
“Shit,” he said. 
His hand bumbled against her bruises. She winced. “Jesus, Jake!” 
“Sorry,” he said again, this time more forcefully. “Shit, sorry!”
Zoe laughed at his reaction; laughed when his face blanched a ghostly white while he tried to carefully extricate himself from her without bumping anymore unfortunate bruises. Of course, laughing hurt (like a fucking bitch) and so it quickly petered off into another wince that had his stare intensifying. 
“It’s fine,” she told him. “I’m fine.” 
“Fine? You’re fine?” he bellowed. She winced again. This time upon the realization that he wasn’t just about to overlook everything that had happened, even if she promised to kiss him again. 
Well, maybe… 
“Jesus fucking Christ, Zoe!” 
Or not. 
“I told you to come back in one piece,” he said, bending back a little bit further so that he could give her a proper glance over. 
Her right arm was in a bulky cast that stretched up past her elbow, a sling holding it in place. She had heavy bruises under her eyes, along her jaw bone, and a particularly nasty bruise on her cheek. Stitches on her forehead, stitches on her neck, stitches even on the small piece of skin that wasn’t covered in a cast. Her shirt had been shredded until she was in nothing but her bra, exposing the vast bandages that wrapped around her entire torso. He expected that there were stitches beneath them too. 
“This—you aren’t fine!” 
“I am,” she said, despite the glaringly obvious fact that she wasn’t, in fact, fine. Not in any sense of the word, actually. Ignoring the way he planted his hands on his hips, Zoe tried to keep the atmosphere light. “I’m here, aren’t I? No limbs lost.” 
“Your ship is at the bottom of the fucking ocean right now,” he deadpanned. 
“Okay, fair,” she bit her lip, trying to find a way out of this that wouldn’t result in any more trouble. Ironic that she was the one who had just survived a crash landing and he was the one that was acting so scandalized by the entire thing. “But, I guess, if we’re being fair, I promised that I would make it back in one piece, not—well—my ship. So, I didn’t lie… technically.” 
Hangman’s gawp turned into a gape which then turned into a glare. 
Smooth. That definitely went the exact way she had been hoping their reunion would go. With him pissed off at her cavalier attitude, her having to force a cavalier attitude when her entire body fucking ached, and the nurse eyeing the pair a little too curiously for someone that should be minding her business elsewhere. 
Zoe cleared her throat awkwardly. “Um... can we have a moment alone?”
The nurse pursed her lips, eyes darting between the pair. 
“Pretty please?”
The woman harrumphed, but left them alone. Her boots clacked across the room before she disappeared down some corridor that Zoe didn’t even remember being carried through. 
Oh, that’s right, she thought dismally, she had been unconscious for that. 
“Zoe—” 
“Jake? Do we really have to do this right now?” she threw her head back with a whine. Tomorrow she would think about how they had seemingly switched personalities; a moment where Jake was scolding her with his hands on his hips and she was looking at everything in the room but him. “Please? I hurt. All over. Can’t we just… not?”
His mouth twitched. 
She supposed that was because he had a lot of things to say, but didn’t know how to say them. Or maybe he was just trying to identify which lecture he wanted to say first. Or maybe he just wasn’t used to being on the high road and his brain was suddenly short circuiting beneath the sudden responsibility of lecturing her. 
“I—you…” 
Yeah. He was definitely short circuiting. 
Another moment of tense silence passed before he shook his head, eyes darting to his boots as his shoulders dropped a good five inches. She felt like kind of a dick for it. Not that it was her choice to hit the ocean like that, but still.
God she was pathetic around him.
“I thought you died, Zoe,” he said, disregarding everything else that he had probably been thinking about saying instead. She paused. Yeah, she definitely felt like a dick right now. “You hit the water hard and then I had to go drag Rooster and Maverick back, so I didn’t even get to focus on that until we were back on deck. You ejected so fucking late that I almost didn’t want to go when they told me to. I thought...” 
She watched his eyes dart around the floor. 
“I’m sorry,” she said because she didn’t know what else there was to say. 
That spurned him to look up at her. His eyes shimmered slightly when he did; the green murky and bright, horrified and relieved, as he tried to figure out what to say. 
“Just… don’t do that again, yeah?”
“I won’t.” 
“I mean it.”
“I promise.” 
“No, seriously, Zoe, I’m not kidding around, I—” 
She kissed him before he could continue, kissed him before those shimmering eyes could drip tears or he could realize that he actually was mad at her for what had happened or... 
Well, anything could happen. She just kissed him because she wanted to and because she could. They paused after a couple moments, him clearing his throat anxiously. “Don’t do that again.”
“Kiss you?”
“Wreck your jet like that,” he rolled his eyes, fighting back a flicker of a smile. Zoe felt a bit lighter at seeing it; felt a little bit better about everything.
She winked at him. “Upset that I get all the attention, Seresin?”
“Are you kidding? I just got my second kill. You should have seen the people on top deck; it’s like I’m their new god or something,” he retorted. He wasn’t quite laughing yet, gaze still straying to her bruises and stitches, skin still a little paler than usual. But she watched him shove that to the back burner as he leant closer with a sigh that was both happy and sad. “I think you spend too much time with Rooster, by the way.” 
“Why’s that?”
He wrapped his arms around her waist. He was much more careful of her sore spots this time, much gentler as his hands skimmed her burning skin, and when he pressed a delicate kiss to the bruise on her jaw, Zoe arched a brow at him. 
“You two idiots really like to make a scene.” 
She laughed. Then groaned when her ribs raked against each other. Still, she managed to quip, “I told you he liked the attention two weeks ago.”
“Unplugging a jukebox is a little different than what he did today.” 
“Better or worse?”
Jake didn’t give her an answer. But she didn’t really care to hear what he had to say anyway. She just liked the fact that they were back in one another’s orbits again; her bruised with a swollen ego, him worried with a mind of lectures to give her.
But not right now. No, he didn’t tell her off anymore than he already had. 
Maybe he didn’t want to ruin the moment. 
Or maybe, as tears shimmered in his green eyes, Hangman didn’t want to think about anything other than the fact that she had very nearly died today. And yet here she was, sitting before him, all battered and bruised, still managing a smile. 
He kissed her again. 
It hurt a little bit, but she didn’t complain. Just smiled into his lips as he ever-so-gently cradled her very bruised jaw between his hands. Laughed when he accidentally bumped the bulky sling her arm would be trapped in for the upcoming weeks. Snorted when he made a joke about how it would look great on their first date, how it would give him the perfect opportunity to be the gentleman responsible for opening the door and pulling out her chair and feeding her spaghetti on a fork.
They kissed and they laughed and they held one another, and Zoe realized that some habits, the ones that were truly toxic and wrong, did die off over time if you let them. It wasn’t easy, and it wasn’t fun, but habits could be unlearned if one was determined enough. 
But the other habits, the ones that were perhaps ingrained into her person just like knocking three times for good luck or always checking the weather before she went for a run, the ones that made her who she was, just got better with time. They molded as she molded, changed as she changed, improved as she improved. 
And that’s what Jake Seresin was to her. 
A habit that only got better with time. 
“Hey,” she breathed quietly. Jake pitched a brow down at her, eyes still wide but soft, annoyed but relieved, flickering over the depths of everything she had to offer to him. “I love you too.” 
“Yeah?”
Zoe nodded; she didn’t even have to think it through because she did. She did and she wasn’t really sure she had ever stopped; not even during all those years apart. Not even when he had broken her heart into pieces or when he had desperately tried to glue them back together again. 
“Yeah,” she told him. 
He smiled. Like, truly, smiled; just like he had back on the deck all those hours ago, before everything had happened. It felt like a lifetime ago now. Though, really, Zoe was starting to realize that any amount of time away from him felt like an eternity. It was a breathtaking sight to witness; Jake Seresin looking at her with stars in his eyes and a grin on his lips, cheeks split open, lips glistening as he licked them. 
And although Zoe craved to hear those three little words from him again, when he instead kissed her with a passion that she would never get used to, she found that she wasn’t all that upset about his reaction. So she just kissed him back with a smile that matched his own, a giggle against the softness of his lips, and he had just pulled back far enough to catch a glimpse of her face, mouth propped open to say something, when—
“Oh, Christ,” a voice cut through the room, sharp and witty and annoyed. 
Hangman pulled back to dart his gaze towards the doorway where a bandaged up Stitch—though not nearly as bandaged as Buzz—stood with a look of displeasure peeling his lips. 
The others stood behind him. Rooster, Phoenix, Bob, and then even Maverick. 
“You two are going to be fucking unbearable, aren’t you?” Stitch moaned. 
“He has impeccable fucking timing, doesn’t he?” Jake muttered against her neck with a bitterness that she didn’t blame him for.
“Maybe Nantucket wasn’t all that bad afterall,” she grumbled back. At least he didn’t have the audacity to ruin the moment every chance he got like Dylan fucking Chutsky managed to do.
“Leave them alone, Stitch,” Phoenix shoved him out of the way. 
“Ouch. Watch the—well, everything—will ya? I did just crash and burn thanks to Buzz’s brilliant flying skills over there, ya’ know. It wasn’t exactly a five star experience.” 
He went ignored as Phoenix shoved Hangman out of the way, this time with a devious grin, before gently pulling Buzz into a hug. Zoe didn’t even care that her shoulder hurt from the pressure of her friend; just hugged her back as best she could with a single arm. 
With her arm around Zoe’s shoulder, Phoenix said, “you really like attention, don’t you, Preston?”
“It wasn’t like I wanted to nose dive into the ocean.” 
“Still.” 
She shrugged, winced when it hurt a hell of a lot more than it should, prompting Jake to fiddle with the strap of her sling until it wasn’t digging into the bruised skin of her neck, smoothed her hair off her shoulder. Then he winked when she shot him a small, appreciative smile. 
From his spot on the other side of the room, Stitch groaned. 
“I was wrong,” Phoenix rolled her eyes. “There is someone that likes attention more than you, Buzz. Leave them alone, doofus. At least now we won’t have to put up with their heart eyes and pining all the time anymore.” 
“There was no pining,” Jake declared. 
Rooster snorted. “You keep telling yourself that, buddy, but we could all feel it. It’s like you were going through puberty all over again. Almost as cute as it was sickening.” 
Hangman glared. “Is this gonna be a thing now?” 
“I don’t even know what you’re talking about,” Rooster said. Though, he did know exactly what Hangman was talking about. He really just liked having something to lord over the blonde’s head for once. Particularly if it also was something he could tease Buzz with as well. “Although, you better watch yourself, Seresin. If you mess with her…” 
“What’s the worst that can happen?” Phoenix shrugged. “After all the shit that Buzz went through today, I doubt Hangman will be the worst part of her year. Probably not, anyways.” 
Hangman smiled. Then frowned. “What?”
They all laughed as Rooster nudged Phoenix out of the way to hug Zoe himself. She allowed it for a moment before something furious cracked over her features. Hangman and Phoenix were quick enough to make some room. Rooster, however, didn’t have that foresight, and Zoe socked him square in the chest before anyone could warn him.
“Ow, what was that for?” he stumbled back half a step with a groan. 
If she weren’t in worse shape than he was, she might have felt bad about it.
“For almost dying you dickhead!” 
“Good to see you too, Buzz,” he muttered. 
“Maverick sacrificed himself to save your life, asshole. You weren’t supposed to go back to do the same thing for him. That defeats the whole purpose!”
“Funny. He gave me the exact same lecture when we were stranded together,” Rooster told her while righting himself, tone a little rueful even if he understood why she was yelling at him. Though, when she was in better condition, he would take the chance to scold her just as much as she scolded him.
“I yelled at him too for it, though I didn’t think to deck him,” Mav said. It made her feel a little more self-righteous, if not a little nauseous that she was suddenly agreeing with Maverick of all people on something. Still, when the Captain hugged her, she decidedly left his chest un-punched. “Plus, if it makes you feel any better, I think he pissed his pants while flying with me.” 
Admonishment whipped across Rooster’s features.
“I did not!” he exclaimed. When no one seemed to take his word on it, he shot Maverick a dark glare. “But if I did, it’s because you fly like an absolute fucking lunatic. That was the craziest flight I’ve ever had in my life, Mav.” 
Mav just shrugged, unbothered. “It worked, didn’t it?”
“Famous last words,” Hangman quipped. 
“Not yet, they haven’t been.” 
Bob pushed his glasses up onto the crook of his nose, eyeing Maverick, before noting, “why do I get the feeling that this wasn’t the craziest flight that you’ve had?”
The room turned to study the Captain who, for once, had the audacity to look a little shy. Shrugging once again, he said, “buy me a beer and I’ll tell you the stories, sometimes, kids.”
“Still can’t afford the bar tab?” Stitch snarked. 
“Don’t think I should have to after that,” he shot back. The group laughed. 
“Speaking of a bar tab,” Zoe ambled painfully to her feet. Hangman was there in the next moment, hands held out but not touching as if afraid of breaking her in half. Thankfully for her pride, she managed without needing any help. “I could really use some beer right now. Think Cyclone will give us some for a job well done?”
“We wrecked three jets,” Phoenix said.
Zoe pondered. “Think Cyclone will give us some anyways?”
“Ah, nice try,” Rooster rolled his eyes. “There’s no way you’re allowed alcohol with the pain meds you’re on right now. I doubt you and Stitch should even leave the med-bay yet. You look like you’re a set of stairs away from keeling over.” 
She narrowed her eyes at him. 
“The man saves one life and all the sudden he’s a doctor,” she muttered. Phoenix snorted, but hid it behind her hand, as Bob tried not to let his amusement show as he fiddled with his glasses. “Fine. No beer just yet. But I could use some food. Lost it all in our plummet.”
“Ew, you yacked?” Stitch groused. “I was in there with you.” 
“Phoenix? Hit him for me will you?”
She did. He yelped. The room smirked as Stitch rubbed the back of his head as if she had just committed some great dishonor against him. Maybe she did; no one really cared all that much.  
“You’re a dick even when you’re high on morphine,” he glared. 
“I said no to the morphine.” 
“What?” Hangman paused, suddenly studying her a little too closely for comfort.
She just waved him off. “Don’t worry about me. Worry about the idiots who got themselves shot down over enemy territory, just to fly an A-14. What were you two thinking?”
“There wasn’t a whole litany of options,” Rooster huffed.
“Better question,” Stitch surveyed them as the group slowly made for the door. He limped, though only slightly, and the others slowed their pace without having to be asked. “How did you both get shot down and not have a single bruise to show for it? Especially you, Cap. Aren’t you all brittle bones and viagra by now?”
Mav shook his head with a laugh and something troublesome in his eyes. 
“Not my first crash, kid. Not the worst one, either.” 
“What could have possibly been worse than that?” Phoenix asked. 
“You should ask Hondo about why I got transferred to being a teacher in the first place,” he told her over the crook of his shoulder. When the group all shared curious, prompting looks, his smile grew a little bit more sly. “I may have crashed a prototype of a new stealth jet into the side of the Nevada desert during a test run. Accidentally. It’s not like I wanted to crash, but the Admiral was gonna shut us down. Course, he wasn’t too happy about losing the prototype, but at least we passed our checkpoint. Made it to 10.2 and we were only supposed to touch 9 that day.” 
Rooster and Phoenix paused in the door. 
“You crashed going 10.2?” Rooster echoed in disbelief. 
Maverick just winked at him while slipping out into the hallway. The nurses hadn’t bothered him just yet and he really didn’t want to stick around long enough for them to do so. 
“Like I said,” he joked, “this was a fairly innocent crash.” 
“Jesus,” Rooster shook his head while sharing a bewildered and disbelieving look with Phoenix. Together, they crept after their Captain, though the entire group was starting to admire him in an entirely different light than they had two weeks prior. “It’s a miracle that you didn’t get us killed.” 
“I supposed we could have waited for them to kill us instead,” Mav snarked. “If that’s what you would have preferred.” 
Rooster threw up his palms in consolidation. Zoe pondered how the pair had seemingly overcome years of heart ache and hurt in such a short amount of time. Then again, as her good shoulder bumped into Jake’s, she figured that almost dying could do that to someone. 
“I’m not complaining. I told you to go for it,” Rooster said. 
“Doesn’t mean that you aren’t clinically insane,” Phoenix added. 
“That’s one word for it,” Hangman tutted from the back of the group. “I’d say… inspiring, too, but that’s just me.” 
Zoe arched a brow at him. “Don’t start getting any ideas.” 
“Me? I like my face the way it is, Buzz. You don’t have to worry about that.”
She rolled her eyes, grinning, and as the others slowly meandered down the hallway ahead of them with no real direction in mind other than going up, her and Jake turned to one another. His smile was happy, if not a little strained every time he caught a glimpse at the heavy bruising her body was sporting, and she decided that was better than any other smirk he had ever given her. 
“So?”
“So.” 
“You regret it yet?”
Jake pretended to think about it as he wound his arms carefully around her waist. His fingers burned the skin that he touched; or, maybe, that was just more bruising yet to come. Either way, she delighted in it. 
“I told you that I wouldn’t.” 
“You do have a history of exaggeration.” 
He bent forward, nose touching her nose, and said, “no. I don’t regret it.”
“At all?”
“Maybe I just regret the fact that I didn’t say it earlier. I love you, Zoe. Like, really love you. It’s almost embarrassing how much self denial I’ve been dealing with these last couple of years just to avoid realizing it until now. It’s a miracle that Coyote hasn’t tried to smother me in my sleep just yet given how much I talked about you.” 
“Self retrospection, Seresin?” she teased, reminding him of when they had seen each other at Penny’s bar just two weeks earlier. “How progressive of you.” 
He grinned. “Careful, Preston. Compliments go right to my head, you know.” 
“As if it could get any bigger.” 
He faked mock hurt that made her laugh till her sides hurt, which really didn’t take much, before bending forward to kiss her once again. It was someone hot and cold, soft but needy, sweet but vicious all in one. 
“Hangman, you better keep your hands where I can see them!” Rooster bellowed. 
They turned to find the whole group staring at them from the end of the hallway, laughter and smiles somehow making up for the embarrassment of being caught once again. Hangman lifted his hands in a gesture of innocence, while she just winked at him.
“They’re not gonna make this easy for me, are they?” he asked. 
“What’s the problem, Bagman?” she taunted over her shoulder, liking the way that his mouth quirked upwards at her teasing rather than the way it had previously been tightening while they argued. “I thought you liked a challenge.” 
Jake smiled. 
Maybe, Zoe thought, that was a picture worth remembering as well. 
“Oh, hey, Rooster,” she added with another glance back at the blonde. He didn’t seem to realize where she was going with this just yet, but when he did, she swore she saw panic in his eyes. “Hangman told me the funniest thing earlier. He said that you were a better pilot than him; that you were the better pick for the mission than he was.” 
“What? No! No I didn’t,” Hangman jogged after them.
“Ah, c’mon, buddy,” Rooster threw an arm around Phoenix’s shoulder with a smirk. It seemed that he had managed to replicate Jake’s perfectly. Zoe could worry about that another day, when they weren’t so bruised, and when she wasn’t so happy. “I always knew you liked me. Why deny it?”
“I didn’t say that!” 
The group laughed. Oddly enough, no one really believed him. 
Oddly enough, he didn’t really care. Just gave Zoe another kiss on the side of the cheek as they wandered towards the party on the top deck. And later that night when they were cuddled up in her bed, propped up on pillows and blankets and ice packs that made the sting of what happened a little bit sweeter, when Zoe smiled at him through the moonlight, Lieutenant Jake “Hangman” Seresin realized that he would let her say whatever she wanted about him so long as she continued to smile at him like that. 
Smiled at him like he was a habit that she just couldn’t quit and maybe that, even after all these years, she didn’t particularly want to.

i took a nap! and my dream was long (well, not really) and complicated.
soo... dream journal time!
oh shit i dont know how to do the read more on mobile well pretend this has a read more and maybe if we imagine hard enough the tumblr gods will put one here
JK im on desktop later here's a read more
it involved me talking on discord to one of my mutuals ^-^ who i was nervous wanting to Impress. and they said england is hot and i was taken aback (sort of. more complicated than that but whatevs.) but also like u arent wrong. england is overhated these days i would maybe date or sleep with him is all im saying. i was speaking to a few diff mutuals on discord but especially excited/nervous to speak to this one.
blurry for a second.
and then a dog pounced on me. and this little old lady ran a training school i was for some reason in. but it was a Psychological training school meant to strengthen your mind apparently. it was popular in canada so i was excited one opened up down here for some reason. they had one where i used to live in florida so i was happy they had one in my new state, and with dream logic i'd moved 0.2 seconds ago so yknow. and the lady was training a lot of animals especially a dog and this one dog was not well trained so he bit onto my arm, and i stood there in horror for a few seconds, not wanting to move to do minimal damage, until she came and bitched at him for acting up, so he let go. and she was like yeah this is why i run a training school.
and her house was tiny so it was in her backyard. she had me follow her to the back where it looked like a dog park. all dirt and dust and equipment. no grass. i thought it looked nice in the dream altho now that im awake it looked pretty crap. but actually i thought it was nostalgic like playgrounds u go to as a kid. it looked like a dog park. also apparently she hammered in one of the rules for me. i forget what it was exactly but later she specified it was related to "the treadmills."
suddenly it was no longer me but a group of people who were all friend and who i identified as being friends with. but i myself was no longer there. and these people were eager to try out the equipment.
tw body horror for this part
pretty sure this is impossible irl but for one of them, this girl pushed her two friends down onto this sheet of barbed wire, and i guess what's supposed to happen is that it pierces your outer layer of skin, but she pushed way too hard and pierced many layers of skin. what you're supposed to do is pierce a few and pull yourself off. it hurts and builds your pain tolerance. the old lady was like oh shit i fixated so much on explaining how to be careful on the treadmills that i forgot this. and the people on the barbed wire were in pain slowly ripping through each layer of skin to minimize the damage. they accidentally leaned back in Pain so their arms also got attached but just the few outer layers so it only hurt a bit to pull them off. like stinging pin pricks. totally tolerable but still unpleasant.
the girl had been so excited btw she just shoved them down hard and didn't realize it would cause problems. i could feel the pain and fear of these people it was ouchie.
also i was trapped consciously. strapped down. unable to move unless i agonizingly ripped spiky metal through my skin all at once to get away. i have many nightmares abt being trapped lol.
then randomly the mlpfim ponies showed up. and they started triggering my severe emetophobia which i dont even wanna talk abt. it was more hinted at than anything but i was scared being trapped like that. also a common theme in my nightmares.
then fluttershy who felt Ill decided to go upstairs (we were suddenly in a basement but also not really bc the initial house had stairs too and was bigger and fancieron the inside than it seemed. that bitch had an aquarium against the wall. and fancy dark wood.) to make food for the others and herself to feel better. and since this dream was like a movie "i" the consciousness followed her upstairs to watch her. and she prepared something that had marshmallows on top i think.
and then i woke up.
also at some point the people strapped down were jeremy and candance from pnf i think. or timmys mom and dad. my brain smashed a bunch of junk together.

Hey I'm here for a matchup if that's okay?
I'm an INTP-T who uses she/her pronouns~ willing to be romantically paired with any male person from Obey me, Mystic Messenger or Tokyo Revengers.
I'm a January aquarius, so I am very sensitive. I am a really good person at heart, like- no joke here, I'd probably go out of my way to help others. My moonsign is Taurus- so yk how aggressive i can be if I want, but I only show aggression if I see some injustice happening ( no, not the "heroic" kind of injustice: I'll just probably help you if I saw someone being a Karen to you). I'm basically the kind of anon who sends asks to just check on you🤷‍♀️
Personality wise, I am kinda fluid. I generally match the energy of the person with whom I'm interacting- you wanna be an introvert, imma be an introvert. You wanna party? I'll get the drinks. That's the sort of person I am. So far, I've had no problem making friends (thank god for that). I do have my Karen moments tho. I am not the type of person who will be rude to someone randomly, but if you wanna pick a fight then square up~
One bad trait about me is that I can talk too much. Like, sometimes I do not even realise! And I end up over sharing with strangers?
Moving on..ahem...I don't have any set hobbies and I think saying "I LiKe tO rEaD" is too basic at this age😭. I like to do online shopping? Ig that's my only hobby altho it makes me broke.
A few random things about me- I love furry things, and that includes all sorts of furry animals and plushies. I love to cuddle but I don't like people touching me much so I cuddle with my pillow. I swear I started personifying my pillow at some point?
Coming to my lover, I'd like a person who would give me forehead kisses. I really need a partner who would let me cling onto him like a koala while I'm crying. I love all guys with glasses, no hinting at any particular character tho. I am fully capable of doing things on my own but sometimes I can't help imagining a lover who would do little things like carrying grocery bags with me, letting me walk on the inside of the sidewalk, making sure I don't hit my head while sleeping in the car. These little things are really cute yk?
I have no actual type besides guys with a bit of chivalry and sense of responsibility.
That's all ig. I hope it wasn't too long...and if it's too long then I'm so so sorry! I tend to get carried away sometimes!
Congrats on 1000 followers! Where's the party?
1000 Follower Event Matchup #24
This event is CLOSED. You van view the event masterlist here.
Note: Hey! This wasn't too long at all, I hope you enjoy who I matched you with :D
Tumblr media
I match you with: LUCIFER, SAEYOUNG, and MITSUYA
Runner-ups were: Mammon, Jumin, and Chifuyu
Lucifer:
Tumblr media
Let me quickly just start with the main reason why I matched you with him
I can just picture him at his desk doing some paperwork as you sit in his office rambling on and on about something, and I CAN JUST PICTURE HIM SMILING WHILE SILENTLY LISTENING TO YOU. like yes, he’s busy doing work, but he finds it so cute that you actually enjoy sitting with him and talking to him, keeping him company while he works 
Will buy you whatever you want, spoils you rotten, gives you his card so you can do your online shopping that you love so much
I find Lucifer really old fashioned, so chivalry would definitely be very much alive with him as your partner
He pulls a chair out for you during dinner time, holds the door open for you, gives you his coat when it’s cold out, HOLDS AN UMBRELLA OVER YOU TO MAKE SURE YOU’RE COMPLETELY DRY WHILE HIS SHOULDER GETS WET (i clearly watch too many kdrams im sorry)
HE WEARS GLASSES WHEN HE DOES PAPER WORK, are you sold that he’s perfect for you yet?
Lucifer is always doing little things for you; whether it be buying you flowers or carrying you to bed if you fall asleep on the couch. HE’S ALWAYS GIVING 100000% for you okay?
Expect many forehead kisses with him, it’s his favorite place to kiss you aside from your lips :p 
Saeyoung (707):
Tumblr media
Glasses? Check
Furry animals? He loves cats and would probably kidnap one so you could have a furry friend. Check
Responsible guy?....kinda check? He has a serious job so he can definitely be responsible, but sometimes he just likes to be silly and laid back :) 
Idk, I just think you’d be a really fun match together
He knows what it’s like to feel bad, so he’d always welcome you to cling to him whenever you’re having a bad day and can’t help but cry it out, he’ll always be your shoulder to cry on
Learns how to make stuffed animals so he can surprise you and make you your very own Saeyoung original stuffed animal lol
Struggles with giving you your personal space, but he’ll learn to not be so touchy with you if it truly bothers you or makes you uncomfortable; however, if you’re the first to initiate it, he welcomes it very happily
He admire how kind you are and sometimes feels like he doesn’t deserve you, but regardless he’s too far in now and can’t risk losing you
Also pretty chivalrous in doing little things for you to make you feel special like tying your shoe for you if he notices it's untied, and even placing his hand on the table to make sure you don't bump it if you bend down to pick something up off the floor
He's a great guy, just give him all your love and he'd make sure to love you just as much <3
Mitsuya:
Tumblr media
I’m so mad, I match so many people with Mitsuya and it feels like I’m not giving anyone else a chance BUT I CAN’T HELP IT, HE’S SO PERFECT
He’s as responsible and chivalrous as they come
Perfect man, 10/10, would introduce him to your parents, he’s great
Mitsuya loves your sensitive side, but he’s very much attracted to how willing you are to defend anyone that needs it, your tough side coming out to protect another soul…yeah he’s in love
He’s a little jealous of your pillows that you love cuddling instead of him, so when you willingly run into his arms whenever you’re sad, he holds you tight, savoring you in his arms
Your ability to adapt to whoever you’re with is super helpful with him, especially when you’re around some of his friends who can be more rowdy, he’s always keeping an eye on you, thinking you may feel uncomfortable, but you always deal with everything just fine
ALSO I SEEN PICS OF HIM WITH GLASSES ON. AYEE
But really, Mitsuya is just husband material at this point
He goes out of his way all the time to surprise you with little things; whether it be arranging a romantic picnic for you, or waking you up with breakfast in bed whenever you spend the night, you will NEVER, be disappointed with him

OH HI!!! it’s been a while!!! ur a fren from the marvel days so i’m gonna dust off some of my old marvel ideas :))
1. i really wanted to do more with my mythology au that i wrote some scarvis for for AU-gust (here is the fic if ur interested), and expand it to look at some more of the cast. maybe something with the OG 6, and some sort of first war similar to the olympians vs the titans or whatever. maybe something infinity war adjacent, altho i was sorta running with my own plot or whatever. and i really did want to assign more domains to more of the cast, but i was struggling with some of the bigger domains (aka life) and who i could assign them to (tbh i’m thinking of helen cho just because she deserves more attention but idk)
mostly i kinda wanted to write more of wanda and vision’s relationship - that forbidden romance type shit, but now they’re gods and it’s Dramatic. like the other gods snooping around and trying to see what they’re up to, and playing more with that concept of the divide between two factions. maybe even branching out to those unforeseen consequences hinted at in the beginning, something breaking in the world as a result of order and chaos’ entanglement. idk! i’ve got a lot of ideas for this world but not enough attention span to write it
2. one of those apocalypse aus where it’s just a wasteland. not one with zombies or whatever else to fight, just… trying to live in desolation. trying to start over when the world has been all but destroyed, and the few people left are turning agaisnt each other. the og 6 avengers forming a traveling group that wanders around, taking down the corrupt dictatorial groups or the crazed mercenaries when they can. wanda and pietro escaping from one of those dictatorial groups, one they thought they’d joined for protection, because they’re tired of seeing people hurt and it outweighs their survival instinct, now. vision and helen (his mom because i Have To in any au) taking up shelter in an abandoned hospital, distributing supplies to any wanderers they come across, trying not to be noticed by the big camps or the roving killers. just… wasteland au
you know what?? i also really want to read that for critical role. vox machina as the traveling somewhat vigilantes, but really just a group trying to survive, forced to leave the old house in the countryside they’d used as a base after they run out of resources. finding allura and kima as they travel, as well as zahra and kash and tary and whoever else. stumbling upon percy and cass in their mansion, crumbling apart, the last ones left - and very promptly asking to use like 20 of the guest rooms. again!! wasteland vibes!!

i did an escape room for the first time ever and i was so nervous about being useless but instead i solved the most puzzles (including one really batshit one that involved reflecting a "laser" around two rooms using drink coasters) and didn't even need any hints i feel so bigbrain rn.
HELL YEAH i've only done a few escape rooms but it's SO satisfying when you can pull it off, esp if you happen to be getting down to the eleventh hour ... altho there was one time we were helping play test a room (the business owner was my friend's former boss) and the designer had made it SO complicated we literally couldn't finish it after two hours and the guy was so pissed/disappointed 😭 like sorry man i'm not fuckin houdini over here
