[extreme-technicality]

does talking to an anon help about ninjago help? cuz I'm down

DHDKCKGSC YES IT DOES THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR OFFERING YOUR SERVICES

Okay now that I know I won’t be clogging people’s dashes buckle the fuck in my dude and I should stress that I literally would not be talking about this as much as I will be if I didn’t genuinely enjoy the show. I’m gonna go season by season and just Rant

S1 has the serpentine as the bbeg and like, as far as villains go they’re p lit. They’re early enough that they haven’t been done to hell, things are fresh, the characters and dynamics are being fleshed out, and all in all s1 is a pretty solid season. There’s some fuckery that gets brought up re: how the FUCK aging works and what the actual timeline of Ninjago is and how Wu and Garmadon fit into that timeline, fuckery that LITERALLY NEVER GETS RESOLVED IN A SATISFYING WAY BC ITS REVEALED IN A LATER SEASON (s8, dw we’ll get there lmao) THAT THE ONLY REASON THE FIRST SPINJITSU MASTER, WU, AND GARMADON LIVED AS LONG AS THEY DID IS CUZ THEYRE BASICALLY DEMIGODS AND ITS IMPLIED THAT LLOYD WILL ALSO LIVE FOR A LONG ASS TIME WHICH MEANS ONE DAY HES GONNA OUTLIVE ALL HIS FRIENDS AND EVERYONE HE EVER LOVED WHICH IS A FUN THING TO THINK ABOUT AT NIGHT But anyway I digress, s1 also coincidentally introduces Lloyd (he wasn’t in the pilot episodes that set up the rest of the series) and the existence of Evil Dad Garmadon.

S2 is where Garmadon starts acting a lot more Evil and a lot less Dad. He’s the main antagonist for that season, and I actually read somewhere that the show was originally slated to end after s2 which high key explains the fuckery of literally every single season after this lmaooooo. Much like s1, I really can’t find much to complain about, the first two seasons are pretty decent as far as I can remember

Season. Fucking. Three. Where the fuck do I start??? I hate season three for entirely personal reasons revolving around the STUPID GODDAMN ROMANCE WRITING. okay lemme back up and explain a thing first so, Jay is dating Nya and they’re fine, they’re going steady, aND THEN????? THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON INTRODUCES BULLSHIT LOVE TRIANGLE FUCKERY FOR ZERO GODDAMN REASON, BITCH I HATE LOVE TRIANGLES AND I HATE THEM EVEN MORE WHEN THEYRE DONE FOR NO GODDAMN REASON!!! AND THEN. AS IF THAT WERENT ENOUGH. THEY SHOEHORNED A ROBOT ROMANCE BETWEEN ZANE AND PIXAL AND I KNOW I RANTED ABOUT THIS A LITTLE BIT WHEN I WAS ACTUALLY WATCHING BUT I DIDNT GO INTO ENOUGH DETAIL!!!! THEY MADE THE OTHER NINJA OOC IN ORDER TO PROP UP THEIR SHIP!!!!!! AND AT ONE POINT ZANE GOES “its like we were…made for each other” AND I HAD TO FUCUCJDHVE I HAD TO SCREAM INTO A PILLOW BRO, IM SO TIRED!!!! NO THE FUCK YOU WERENT!!!!!! YOU WERE MADE FOR YOU AND PIXAL WAS MADE FOR PIXAL AND IF YALLS WANNA BANG BOLTS THATS FINE BUT DONT IMPLY THAT EITHER OF YOU WERE MADE INCOMPLETE!!!! THATS AN INSULT TO YOUR MAKERS AND YOURSELVES, MOVE ON, PLEASE AND THANK YOU. anyway that season also killed Zane (for the first time, but not the last) (spoiler alert lmao) and like, not to be an emotional little shit but I did cry a bit at his funeral.

S4 is honestly one of my favorites, even though the romance crimes continue (the love triangle bullshit is continuing and honestly I maintain that Cole, Nya, and Jay should all have gotten together and in my personal canon they DID, and also Kai has a forced romance) the VILLAIN makes up for it imo. He’s campy!! He’s funny!! He’s a clown!! He’s serious enough that if he says “I’m gonna kill you” HE MEANS IT and that’s so fucking refreshing!!!! S4 is honestly 8/10 just for the villain alone, don’t like that it retconned the SHIT out of the elemental masters and how many different elements there are TO master but eh, it’s ninjago, shit is stupid.

S5 was…interesting? OH WAIT I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT S3 INTRODUCED A GARMADON WHO WAS A LOT LESS EVIL AND A LOT MORE DAD, HONESTLY I THOUGHT IT TOOK A LOT OF THE FLAVOR OUT BUT THATS JUST ME LMAOOO. anyway s5 killed Garmadon, and I was a little sad cuz I like him okay??? I just think he’s NEAT, he’s got big dad energy, he was teaching Lloyd some shit that just got DROPPED and literally was never brought up again which is honestly a theme in Ninjago. Ninjago drinking game: take a shot every time they introduce a plot point or ability and drop it at or before the end of the season. WHICH THEY ALSO DID IN S5 WITH A DIFFERENT POWER ACTUALLY, so all the ninja are masters of Spinjitsu right, well s5 introduced the concept of Airjitsu which only Spinjitsu masters can learn and it lets them FLY and they used that for seasons 5 and 6 and then they nEVER BROUGHT IT UP AGAIN EVEN THOUGH IT WOULDVE COME IN HANDY FOR S E V E R A L DIFFERENT SITUATIONS ACROSS THE SEASONS, ONE OF THEM WOULD BE FALLING TO THEIR DOOM AND MY ASS WOULD BE YELLING “YOU CAN FLY, DUMBASS” - anyway, they do that again later lmao it’s fine. But what’s low key NOT fine is they made Nya the WATER NINJA!!! Like I’m not mad she has powers, except I kinda am, she was doing just fine as Samurai X and honestly the only reason she has super special ninja powers is for plot reasons. Also Cole got turned into a ghost, but by s7 he’s????? No longer a ghost????????? And that’s NEVER addressed or reasoned away, so like. Cool lmao

S6 didn’t happen. Like, canonically, s6 ends with wish fuckery that undoes the entire season and none of the characters remember anything that happened except Jay and Nya because S6 is the season where they get back together so they remember all those events for???? Feelings reasons?????? Unclear, moving on. The actual bbeg for S6 was a djinn with a vaguely Spanish accent, and to this DAY I don’t know why they made him have a SPANISH accent. Djinn are Arabic, not Spanish!! They’re not central or South American, either!!!! Your villain design makes no sense, do better

S7 had MORE time fuckery, and retconned what happened to Kai and Nya’s parents and hmmmhmhmhmhmhm that makes me Upsetti Spaghetti :3 not just the retconning, but the fact that they LITERALLY brought them back oNLY TO NEVER MENTION THEM AGAIN!!!!!! LITERALLY!!!!!!!! Okay so at the VERY very beginning, like pilot episodes beginning, Kai talks about their dad like he died/left fairly recently, BUT s7 contradicts that and claims that both of their parents were essentially abducted when Kai and Nya were little kids, which makes me question what in the fresh fuck two little kids were doing for all those years alone. SETTING THAT ASIDE FOR A HOT SECOND, their parents were also apparently good friends of Wu’s and old war buddies (from the Serpentine wars, which is YET ANOTHER bit of the timeline that doesn’t quite add up but honestly I could make a whole other post about that shit). But if they were such good fucking friends, why didn’t Wu check in every now and again??? What the fuck was Wu doing that was so fucking important that he couldn’t have been assed to visit his friends ONCE in like TEN MOTHERFUCKING YEARS and realize “oh shit, they’re not here and there are two tiny children running around unsupervised…My Kids Now : )” LIKE????? WU YOU LOW KEY SHOULDA LOOKED OUT FOR YOUR FRIENDS’ KIDS BETTER, THEY COULDA DIED BRO!!! Uhhhh the time fuckery also results in Wu getting yeeted ahead in time a bit and the ninja gotta find him

Season. Eight. I have…mixed feelings about this one. The beginning absolutely SLAUGHTERED me, and not in a “this is so fucking funny” way. No, the beginning made me feel like I was being flayed alive with just about every episode because Ninjago was back on its forced romance bullshit and this time it was Lloyd’s turn on the chopping block. That hurt my soul cuz like, look at that mans color scheme, he’s CLEARLY alloaro, why are you forcing romance on my aro man, why would you hurt me like that, BUT ALSO BECAUSE HE AND THE GIRL HE WAS BEING SET UP WITH HAD A LITTLE HEART TO HEART REALLY EARLY ON AND IT WAS THE MOST QUEER CODED SHIT!!!! IT DEADASS READ AS A CONVERSATION BETWEEN AN OUT AND PROUD QUEER AND A CLOSETED QUEER AND THEY MADE!!! IT!!!!! STRAIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!! The only thing that kept me watching at first was wanting to find Wu, and then I started enjoying myself once Cole found a plot-relevant baby and had fatherhood thrust upon him. Everything went from “ehhhhh” to “holy shit this FUCKS” once it was revealed that Rumi (Lloyd’s love interest) wAS PLAYING HIM THE WHOLE TIME AND WAS EVIL AND HAD AN EVIL GIRLFRIEND!!!!!! LITERALLY IMPROVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THE SEASON FOR ME, I COULD EVEN FORGIVE THE WHOLE “let’s resurrect Garmadon, but as evil as possible” BULLSHIT!!!!!!

S9 is a continuation of s8, Garmadon is back and 1000% Evil, 10% Dad, but none of the Dad energies is directed at Lloyd - it’s all directed at Rumi, and honestly I could write a whole ass post on just RUMI cuz that’s honestly my DAUGHTER and I LOVE HER and I’m MAD SHE DIES AT THE END OF THIS SEASON!!!! SHE DESERVED THERAPY AND TO LIVE WITH HER GF AND MAYBE SOME CRIME. AS A TREAT. RUMI DESERVED BETTER AND LOW KEY IM GONNA WRITE A FIC ABOUT IT, BUT ANYWAY WHERE WAS I

Ah right, so s9 has the four major Ninja stuck in the original dimension with no way home, while Lloyd has no powers (cuz he almost died last season) and has to somehow lead a resistance against Garmadon (who has taken control of Ninjago City and is working on the rest of Ninjago). Actually, s9 is pretty cool. Like, the end of s8 and into s9 are low key my favorite episodes, and I kinda wanna rewatch them now -

S10 is a FUN one. Garmadon got got last season, but he didn’t DIE, so he’s in cold storage and now there’s Another Threat and he’s the only one who knows wtf they’re up against so they let him out and he works with them. The funny part is, he is still Very Much Evil and doesn’t quite Get emotions like he did when he was, uh, human lmao, sO HE WOKE UP EVERY DAY DURING THAT SEASON AND DECIDED TO CAUSE PROBLEMS ON PURPOSE. IT WAS THE FUNNIEST FUCKING SHIT. 1000000/10 MY FAVORITE GARMADON, he ended that season by literally fucking off into Ninjago and they never decided to track him down 😭😭😭😭😭and I’m so SAD about it dude

S11 has another Serpentine as the bbeg, though in the setup to that they retconned how the fucking Serpentine tribes and history work??? I think???? Also Wu was a good 150% angrier and generally Done with the ninja’s shit, which was honestly refreshing tho I’m not quite sure I liked what the refreshed view was, but whatever lmao. S11 also had the ninja get yeeted to the dimension farthest from Ninjago, and honestly - okay, so they didn’t all go at the same TIME, Zane left about a week or two before the others did but there was time dilation fuckery afoot which I’m not too mad about cuz low key it makes sense. What I AM mad about is that they didn’t play the angst up to its full POTENTIAL!!!!!! Zane was EVIL in the other dimension!!!! Okay so I’m Ninjago he was only gone for maybe a week or two, but DECADES had passed in the other one, and all that time Zane was alone and disconnected from everyone he knew and loved, with a staff that boosted his power while slowly corrupting him and Turning Him Evil to help him, and like???? The thought of Zane trying to find a way home, trying to get SOME sort of message back, while he has to use the staff more and more to help him survive the long, lonely decades, so that by the time his family DOES show up its too late??? BRO. B R O. THAT JUST HITS DIFFERENT, BUT NINJAGO DIDNT DO THAT!!! THEY MADE HIM EVIL DUE TO MEMORY WIPE!!!!!! MEMORY WIPE IS BABY SHIT COMPARED TO A LONG, SLOW CORRUPTION!!!!!!

S12 was alright. It went into Cole’s mom, touched on some of the adventures she had had, threatened another forced romance (this time on poor Cole, just leave my mans ALONE) but thankfully didn’t follow through this time, introduced cool new powers that honestly hasn’t been elaborated on since that’s the most recent season I think lmao

Anyway thanks for reading and letting me rant!!!! I have,,So Much More I could talk about, PLEASE ask me about Rumi, some of my headcanons re: Garmadon and Wu’s dynamic, the Serpentine, my top five times they butchered Kai’s character for Plot Reasons, or anything else I brought up here that you want me to elaborate on!!!

#technical talks #ninja hoe #ask dadzawa #nonnie #this was honestly therapeutic tysm #and it let me kill time before I play Mario kart so bonus points!! #I definitely forgot to mention A Lot (like all the times one or all of the ninja lost their powers) #so like!!! feel free to bug me for more shit!!!!

Everybody Knows I’m Torn Apart

Pairing: Dean Winchester x Fem!Reader Rating: PG-13 for canonical descriptions of injuries and swearing. Summary: You manage to call Dean a few miles away from the bunker. Despite your injuries, you tell him the basics: you lost too much blood, you need a ride, you’re pretty sure you’re going to pass out soon. His gruff voice over the phone is the last thing you hear before you physically can’t keep your eyes open anymore. Author’s Note: I can’t stop reading/writing hurt/comfort fics. This is shorter than I wanted it to be, but I’m trying to find my muse again. Bear with me, pals. Disclaimer: Lyrics inset and title come from the NEEDTOBREATHE song “Mercy’s Shore”. I don’t own Dean or Supernatural. There’s also some dialogue in there very close to a scene from “Band of Brothers” which I also don’t own. Bonus points if you can spot it.

My arms are tired and weary These wounds are on full display I've tried every door in the hallway There's just nowhere that I feel safe

You manage to call Dean a few miles away from the bunker. Despite your injuries, you tell him the basics: you lost too much blood, you need a ride, you’re pretty sure you’re going to pass out soon.

His voice over the phone is the last thing you hear before you physically can’t keep your eyes open anymore. He’s shouting at you when you don’t respond, yelling at you to stay awake, dammit, but you can’t. You can’t.

You’re barely conscious when a rumble starts in the distance. Dimly, you feel relief wash over you. It gives you a push - you try to straighten up in your seat and cry out when the gash in your side pulls hard.

The driver’s side door opens so quickly you almost fall sideways, and then there’s a familiar pair of green eyes boring into yours.

“Jesus Christ.”

“Hi, Dean. You should see the other guy.”

“Where?” He asks gruffly, eyes flitting over you, looking for injuries.

“My left side.” You grunt, “A knife. Also, maybe a bullet in my right shoulder.”

His eyes flash. “Maybe?”

“Pretty sure.”

He swears again and more gently than you expect, he leans in so you can put your arm around his shoulders. His other arm goes under your knees and slowly he lifts you out of the car.

“Don’t go to sleep,” he warns, “Keep your eyes open. Sam’s waiting in the infirmary when we get back.”

You groan, “S’gonna hurt--” Your speech is a little slurred, vision a little blurry. God, you want to close your eyes. You’re so tired.

“Yeah, well. Not gonna hurt worse than getting stabbed and shot.”

“You sound mad.” You say quietly when he stops near the Impala, setting you down so you can lean against the side of the car. He opens the door and looks like he wants to pick you up again, but you protest, waving him off. He helps you still, lowering you into the passenger seat, and then he’s shutting the door, the sudden silence overwhelming you.

When he gets in the car, he turns the key in the ignition and looks at you, “I’m not mad. I’m-- you’re hurt, you get that? Really badly hurt.”

“I called for help, didn’t I?”

He starts to drive. “Shouldn’t be hunting on your own anymore.”

You don’t say anything. This is an old argument. For a man who spent much of his formative years on his own, learning how to kill anything and everything, he’s so against you doing it.

When you first met him, you thought it was nothing but old school sexism. Women shouldn’t fight alone, the same old bullshit you’ve been putting up with for years. After you got to know him and Sam, you realized it was different - it came from a place of fierce loyalty, of friendship, of protectiveness. He wanted his friends close, even though he put up a front.

Ever since he was four years old and was told to protect his brother, he’s taken that mentality with everyone he’s ever met. Dean Winchester, the protector.

Sam meets you in the garage, hefting you out of the passenger seat before you can get a word out. His face is pinched in worry, and he curses when his hand slips from where it had gripped your waist, slick with blood.

“You’re getting blood all over my jeans,” he comments, trying to keep the mood light.

“I’m real sorry, Sam,” you reply sarcastically, wincing at every step he takes that lurches you in his arms.

On the table, you pass out from the pain.

When you wake, your shoulder and side are throbbing, and there’s two familiar forms slumped in chairs in opposite corners.

“Ow,” you mutter, trying to sit up.

Dean rouses, hearing you struggling, and surges to his feet, hands on your shoulders to keep you steady, careful of the new packed gauze on one side. “Sam got it out,” he says quietly. “You’ll be alright.”

“Nothing wounded but my pride.”

“That’s not funny.” He murmurs, sighing. “You lost a lot of blood.”

You stop his fussing with a hand on his arm. “Dean?”

He exhales hard through his nose.

“I’m sorry,” you say. “I didn’t know who else to call. I just make jokes because… I don’t know. Trying to lighten the mood?”

He scowls, but it’s not as fierce. “Yeah, well. Do it when your life isn’t on the line, will you?”

He gives your good shoulder a quick squeeze, so you know he’s not completely pissed, but you still feel a little sheepish. You don’t mean to get yourself into trouble, you really don’t.

And -- maybe he’s right. It’s nice to hunt with other people sometimes. Hurts more when they leave or get killed, though, and you think that’s the root of it. Saving yourself from the potential loss.

You sleep a few more hours and when you wake up, there’s clinking of silverware coming from down the hall. You smell food and your stomach growls. You struggle to get to your feet, and notice idly that you’re wearing a shirt that’s two sizes too large. You remember how torn and bloody your own clothes were when Dean got to you, and have to resist the urge to tug up the neckline and inhale that comforting scent - whatever laundry soap they use and something else unique to Dean.

You make your way to the kitchen slowly. Every step pulls your stitches and you groan when you finally get to the doorframe, leaning against it.

“What are you doing?” Sam demands, “if you rip out those stitches—“

“Sit down.” Dean is on his feet too, pointing at the empty chair.

“I got hungry!”

Sam crosses his arms over his chest, doing his best big brother impression, and you shrink under the weight of his disappointment, sinking into the chair to his left. Slowly. Carefully. You try to tell yourself you’re not in a lot of pain, but you think it’s obvious, even with how you’re trying to pretend everything is normal.

“I would have brought you something.” Dean says, standing and grabbing another plate, starting to pile it up with eggs and sausage and pancakes. They really go all out for breakfast in this household, and you’ve missed it.

Conversation is quiet during breakfast, but you try to lighten the mood here and there, aware of Dean watching you like a hawk everytime you grimace when you move too quickly. Sam stares at you until you eat everything on your plate and drink two glasses of water, and then sends you back to bed with strict instructions to stay there for the next few hours.

“It’s so boring!” You say, not embarrassed about the whine in your voice.

(Okay, maybe a little bit.)

Dean rolls his eyes. “Come on,” he says, turning you around by the elbow and almost marching you from the room. “We’ll play video games or something until you get tired.”

An hour later, you’re on the third game of Mario Kart, and you’re fuming.

“You’re-- you’re cheating!”

“Or,” Dean says, pointing, “consider this -- you just suck.”

“Hey!” You protest, trying not to laugh. “That’s rude. I’m wounded.”

Dean rolls his eyes, but his face goes a little serious. “That’s not funny.”

“It’s a little funny.”

He shakes his head. “You’re so damn reckless, you know that?”

“I don’t mean to be.” You look down at your hands, embarrassed for how much you’ve worried the two Winchesters. “I thought I could handle it.”

He sighs. “I don’t mean-- you can handle it. Usually.” He smirks at you. “I care about you,” he says quietly, the confession ringing in the air. “I worry about you when you’re out there alone. You don’t have to do it alone anymore.”

You have no idea what to say.

He’s so sincere - the truth of his words and the weight of what he’s saying clear in the expression on his face.

“Dean--”

“Why don’t you just stay here? With us?” He asks, looking hurt. “All the times we’ve offered and you’ve never…” He stops himself, picking at a loose thread on the comforter.

You shrug. You’re not ready to have this conversation with him, though you suppose it’s inevitable. “There’s never really been anywhere I felt safe.”

Dean’s eyes are imploring, so you continue, even though you really don’t want to make yourself this vulnerable.

“I do, though, with you. And that scares me a little.” You shrug, acutely aware of his eyes on you. You feel like he can see right through you, see what you’re not saying. “I feel like I could be safe here, and that’s-- I’ve never had that before.”

Dean leans forward on his knees, hands clasped together. “I used to feel like that,” he confides. “Before we found this place. We never had any place that felt like home. That felt safe.”

You wonder if Dean knows he has this affect on people - that they so desperately want to hear what he has to say, that they want his approval, almost. Validation from Dean means everything. From a man who keeps everything so close to the vest, the fact that he’s letting you see this part of him means everything.

“I don’t want to keep running.” Your words are like a whisper.

“Then stay,” he counters simply, with a shrug. “Stay.”

Hi! Could you do some hcs for the brothers reacting to seeing MC wear their glasses for the first time?

Aww, that would be so cute. I love writing fluff for the brothers. I also added some hcs for how they would deal with an MC who wears glasses regularly. As a person who owns glasses, it can be kind of annoying to have glasses for a lot of reasons and I based it on that.

Thanks for the request!

*gender neutral MC*

————————————

The Brothers’ reaction to MC wearing their glasses for the first time:

Lucifer:

-Lucifer being Lucifer didn’t give you much of a reaction when he saw you wearing glasses for the first time

-However, inside he was quaCKing

-Why must you be this cute?

-He’s completely mesmerised

-Not to mention, the glasses made you look really elegant and professional

-He is strangely turned on by this

-He complimented your glasses and briefly mentioned how good they looked on you

-Besides all that, since we all know Lucifer is the mother hen in the House of Lamentation

-He would probably be reminding you to put on your glasses when he sees you straining your eyes

-Or when he notices they need to be cleaned

-Sometimes, he finds them lying around and wipes them clean for you before placing them in your room

-“Lucifer, I can do that pretty damn well myself y’know?”

-He knows those glasses are not only important but necessary for you at times so he won’t tolerate it if any of his brothers break them by accident

-One time, Mammon tried selling them and got chased around the house by Lucifer which I’m sure was not a fun experience for either

Mammon:

-W h a t

-No, seriously, what?

-You gave glasses???

-Since when? Why do you need them?? Are your eyes broken?? *Gasp* can human eyes brea-

-It took a while but you explained to Mammon why exactly you needed your glasses

-He would make fun of you in a non offensive way

-“Ahaha, ya look like such a dork MC. Pfffttt.”

-In reality, he actually thinks that they are really cool, especially if you have any patterns or different colours on them

-He watches in pure fascination as you wipe them using a cloth and contact lens solution

-Only pokes fun at you because he means the opposite

-Is the type of person to grab your glasses, put them on himself before asking you how he looks

-He likes to joke about how serious you look with glasses on

-Please don’t let him look after your glasses

-He’ll break them in under two minutes

-Will get really fired up if someone else were to tease you about wearing glasses

-“Excuse you! Do ya know who this is? This is my human and they are the most amazing thing that’s ever happened to me, glasses or not. And ya don’t have the right to throw any insults at them because you’re not exactly good looking yourself y’know? Maybe you need some glasses since you clearly can’t see how-“

-Cue an hour long rant about why you’re amazing

Levi:

-You pulled out your glasses while playing Mario Kart with him

-He was amazed

-You have glasses? That’s so cool!

-Bonus points if you had the design of any kind of anime on them

-Of course, he wouldn’t be willing to say this to your face because he’s still a tsundere

-“You look like a bigger normie than you already are while wearing those.”

-“Thanks Levi.”

-“I-I didn’t meant it like that!!”

-Asks if he can hold them from time to time

-He doesn’t try them on or anything but he likes to admire them sometimes

-Why are all of them acting as if they’ve never seen glasses before??

-He thinks you look really cute and dorky with those on, he can’t help but stare at you every once in a while

-You remind him of a variety of anime girls who wear glasses

-But you look much better than any of them in his opinion

-Will openly glare at people who insult you for wearing glasses

-Knows your glasses can be very fragile so he probably places them next to his Ruri-chan collection to make sure they’re safe

Satan:

-He was stunned into silence

-He asked if you could come over to read a book or two with him at the library

-He certainly didn’t expect you to pull out a pair of glasses and put them on when you came to sit next to him

-pleasantly surprised

-I feel like he would be one of the least to make a big deal out of it

-He wouldn’t tease you or anything

-But he loves complimenting you and your glasses a lot

-Knows that every time you put your glasses on, you’re paying attention to the book he’s showing you

-It also makes you look even more independent and intelligent than you already are

-If you were to ever lose them, he would probably be the first one to find them

-Like Lucifer, would probably not deal with anyone’s bullshit on the matter

-No one will make fun of you for wearing glasses if they know what’s good for them

-He often takes them off your head when he feels you’ve been up reading for too long

-Probably has extra cloths and solution on him at all times in case you ran out

-He will always be prepared for everything when it comes to you!

Asmo:

-HELLLLL YESSSSSS

-He finds people who wear glasses so damn attractive

-Is it even a surprise at this point?

-He fusses over you constantly

-This one’s also horny

-Bitch went shopping the next day and bought an identical pair for himself

-So now both of you look FABULOUS

-So many selfies!

-He knows it must be a bit difficult to wear glasses since you need to take care of them all the time

-So he relieves you from a burden and buys you a bunch of quality made cloths to clean them

-Will proudly show you to everyone (before proceeding to pull out his own glasses to accompany yours)

-He finds himself wanting to kiss you a lot when you have them on

-If anyone says anything to you about those glasses, he will personally take offence

-“What did you say? Did you just say that we have the most stunning pairs of glasses you’ve ever seen? Did you say we are the prettiest people you’ve seen all day? Because I know you did not just say my lovely partner’s glasses are ‘weird’. I’ll have you know-“

-This one also likes to rant

-Subtly hints about how you should wear glasses more often

Beel:

-He didn’t notice at first

-He was concentrating on his food

-But then, he sensed that you were in the kitchen with him and he looked up

-He almost choked on his cheeseburger, mind you

-Actually he almost dropped the whole platter of food on the ground but he didn’t because Avatar of Gluttony skills baby

-He immediately thinks about how you’re the most precious thing he’s ever seen in his life

-Blush blush blush

-Almost dies when you ask him what he thinks of your glasses

-“They’re really nice. You look very pretty.”

-pls give this boy all the happiness in the world

-He can’t keep his eyes off you at times

-He loves it when you wear them because he genuinely loves how you look with them on

-He is awfully gentle and careful with them if you ever ask him to look after the pair

-Y’know, since he has such big hands

-He’s scared he might crush them

-Likes watching you clean them, it’s sort of therapeutic for him

-He asks a lot of questions about them and why you need them because he is genuinely curious

-He’s really comforting when other people make fun of your glasses

-He just needs to stand over them and glare down at them until they stop

-And then he gives you lots of compliments because Beel is a sweetheart and you can’t convince me otherwise

Belphie:

-He really acted like he couldn’t care less at first

-OK you have glasses, so what?

-But his heart was threatening to burst inside

-Damn it, why must you do this to him?

-He teases you whenever he gets the chance and that’s whenever he’s awake

-“Are those to make you look smarter than you actually are?”

-He doesn’t mean any of it

-He just wants a reaction out of you

-As much as he wants to deny it

-Belphie is still a bit curious about the human world and their antics

-So he’ll ask you lots of questions about your glasses

-He realises that having glasses can be a bit of a hassle so he offers to clean them from time to time

-He’s so straightforward about how much he likes seeing you with your glasses on, he will bluntly ask you wear them more

-God forbid anyone say anything remotely bad about you or your glasses

-He will hunt them down and kill them himself, despite his laziness

-He would be totally impressed if you had a cool space design on it!

[palettes-and-prompts]

Hello. Hope you are doing alright with everything going on. When you feel up to it, may I request a pallet and or prompt for two people kinda sort of falling in love by accident, both mutually pining for each other and driving their friend in common (who loves them both platonically) nuts because 'Damnit! The two of you are obviously head over heels in love, will you two disaster people just confess already!' I don't know why that sort of romantic tomfoolery makes me smile but it does.

Sorry this took so long!

Dialogue Prompts

1) "They like you." "But what if they don't? What if you just read the signal wrong or something and they just like me as a friend?" "They literally sent me this text that says 'Oh shit, I think I'm in love with Person A.'" "But what if that's just a friend pranking you by using your phone?" "I'm gonna kill you." 2) "What should I do?" "I'm your secretary right now, after hours is when I'm your friend." "Help me." "Just tell them how you feel already." 3) "If you don't tell them how you feel I'm gonna kick your ass." 4) "Tell them!" "Now?!" "They're about to get on a plane and leave for six months, this is the only time you're gonna be able to tell them how you feel!" 5) "Do I have anything stuck in my teeth?" "Oh my god, no, you're fine. Just walk over and talk to them already. This is getting pathetic." 6) "I can't believe both of you have feelings for each other but are refusing to acknowledge it. Just kiss already." 7) "If I have to watch you two make eyes at each other throughout dinner I will vomit." 8) "They're a terrible dancer but I can't stop thinking about them." 9) "I gave them my number but they haven't called." "Because they're waiting three days to call." "What if they don't though?" "They like you!" 10) "We have to kiss in the play?" "Yeah." "Oh god, what if it's bad? What if they don't like it? What if I have bad breath?" "Oh my god, you're overreacting. They wanna kiss you, you wanna kiss them. Just kiss them!" 11) "So, do you know if they're like, seeing anyone?" "Oh my god, seriously?" "What?" "Just ask them out, they already like you!" "What?! No! Really? They like me?" 12) "I'm tired of this back and forth! You! You! Kiss. Kiss right now." "What?!" "You both like each other, you both want to, I'm tired of hearing you to pining for each other, it's disgusting. Just. Kiss." 13) "You've got some frosting on your lip." "So do you." "God, I'm so sick of you two. Check please!" 14) "Well, you know Person A so maybe we'll see each other again." "Yeah, maybe we will." "God, could you two make it more obvious you're into each other?" 15) "They're cute." "You just said you were going to stop sleeping with my friends." "You're right, you're right. I'm not going to sleep with your friend." 16) "I'm looking to buy some flowers." "What kind are you looking for?" "Ones that are as pretty as you." "Stop flirting with my friend, Person A, you're embarrassing me." 17) "I think you're the nicest person I've ever met." "I think you're the nicest person I've ever met." "I think if you two had kids they'd probably look like a combination of all the characters from Friends combined." 18) "Okay, how do I look?" "Like you're dressing for rejection. Please put on another outfit." 19) "Am I good looking? And you can be honest." "I'm not boosting your ego right now, I'm playing Mario Kart. If you wanna ask them out just ask them out. They already like you." 20) "Does Person A like, like me or anything?" "Is the sky blue?"

Regular Prompts

A thinks it's a joke at first but B insists they're serious. 3) A is trying to make dinner for Person B but when B dumps them they argue in the hall and the food burns as B walks out of their life forever. When the fire department shows up they put out the fire and Person C, grabs a fork when they see A crying and insists the food isn't that bad and just has a smoky flavor. While making A laugh they soon find out they're neighbors and have cute interactions from that point on and A is determined to prove they can cook. 4) A is a retail worker and B is a person who bought popcorn, snuck into the break room, popped it, and is now watching a sad movie near the display for the TVs.

AN: this aint the sequel yet, its just a little extra bit, a flashback if you will. and it includes a NAME REVEAL. oh and the end kind of hints to whats gonna be going on in “season 2″ of this fic :)

**let me know if u wanna be added to the taglist

“Those shoes remind me of the time we first met,” Shawn said, nodding down to the huge black platforms on my feet.

I was at least five inches taller in these fashionable death traps. My feet were aching and blistering whether I was sitting or standing because of the plastic material, but it was all for the look. Shawn may have been taller than me despite this, but I felt more powerful and confident. He had his eyes on me from the moment he saw me tonight, so damaging my feet may have been worth it. However, I was confused by his statement.

“I’m pretty sure I didn’t wear these bricks to the coffee shop,” I replied.

“No, not that time,” he told me. “It was a little bit before that.”

“What?”

~

It’s one thing to be caught in the middle of a walk of shame the morning after said shameful events. It was something else to be caught in this walk only fifteen minutes after the fact. Shawn had clearly lost track of time, checking his watch before fixing the collar of his shirt and ruffling his hair back into place. The elevator doors opened to the dorm lobby, and Brian was standing on the other side, probably waiting to go up.

At least it was Brian. He always knew that Shawn was either in class, at work, in the studio, or "visiting" a friend. He didn’t judge, unlike other friends. Camila always asked Shawn when he was going to tie himself down to a proper relationship. She knew what he really wanted deep down.

Shawn had bigger things to worry about at the moment.

“Just tell me it wasn’t who we’re about to go visit right now,” Brian said, stepping into the elevator next to his friend.

“Who? Camila?” Shawn asked, resisting the urge to laugh out loud. “No way!”

“We’re not going to Camila’s,” Brian reminded him. “We’re going to her friend’s dorm. She’s got a Switch and booze.”

The doors opened to the second floor of the building. Brian led the way to the right room, and just as the approached the door to B24, Camila turned the corner from the end of the corridor.

She smiled wide and greeted the two boys. “Hey! We’re right on time!” She was about to knock on the door, but Brian quickly grabbed her wrist to stop her.

“What’s your friend’s name again?”

“Her name is Stella Martinez. And don’t grab me,” Camila replied pointedly as she harshly pulled her arm away. Her brown eyes trailed over to Shawn. “You might wanna fix your shirt. The buttons are mixed up. And I hope that’s lipstick on your neck.”

Shawn’s cheeks flushed as his hand went up to the crook of his neck. Just as Camila had said, there was something there. He felt the slimey, glossy substance under his fingers and then rubbed it away. Looking down at his white shirt, he found that two of the buttons in the middle had gone missing. He totally did not know how that happened.

Finally, Camila knocked on the door, and answered the famous Stella Martinez. Although, she answered the door a little too fast, like she had been waiting on the other side. "Hi guys! I'm so glad you guys made it!" She hugged all three of them, despite never having met Brian and Shawn before.

Actually, Shawn knew her… barely. He met Stella through Camila only once, when she had crashed their chorus class and pretended to sing along with everyone else. All he remembered was that she could carry a tune.

The dorm looked and felt like an apartment, it was very big for only one person. Shawn himself didn’t live on campus, but he knew not all of the dorms were as spacious as this one. It was almost as big as his apartment, plenty of light would come in if it wasn’t for the thick curtains on the windows.

Stella happily invited Shawn, Brian, and Camila onto the couch and then she dashed into the kitchen, her light brown hair bouncing behind her.

“Is your place this cool?” Brian asked Camila. So he had been thinking about it too.

“Not even. I’m in the other college,” she said. “First years get jack shit. Stella's a second year with a fuck ton of credits, so she got priority in choosing classes and living space."

Stella returned from the kitchen holding four open Corona bottles. She placed them all on the coffee table and the other three reached for their own bottles. Stella sat down on the floor facing them.

“Oh, here,” Shawn said, immediately standing up and gesturing to his seat.

Normally, there was a minor “no, you’re the guest” debate, but Stella wasn’t one for that. She happily sat next to Camila, so Shawn sat on the floor leaning against the arm of the couch. He noticed a random object on the table, a black and teal something… like a Swiss army knife. Interesting choice for a centerpiece.

“So,” Brian spoke up after a while, “where’s the Switch?”

“Oh yeah!” Stella exclaimed, jumping to her feet. “I’ll be right back!”

The way she moved and carried herself was almost spastic. Stella was clearly very excited to have guests over, and what she lacked in height was made up for in her energy. Shawn had a feeling he would probably adore her by the end of the night.

He watched her go up to one of the bedroom doors, and that was when her energy faltered a little bit. She knocked almost timidly and then went inside the room.

“Does she have a roommate?” Shawn asked the other two. Surely he couldn’t have been the only one to notice the lack of other life in the vicinity.

“Yeah, she does,” Camila replied. “I don’t know her, though. She doesn’t leave her room that much, from what Stella tells me.”

Her words were immediately contradicted as a new girl came out of the room. She was holding a rectangular dock, 2 cords, and a grey Nintendo Switch. Stella followed after her, and the two separate energies became very apparent in the room, and it wasn’t just from their appearances.

Stella had a bounce in her step and a ghost of a smile permanently on her face. She was dressed for guests, in her red blouse and ripped blue jeans. Her hair was in a neat braid, and her perfume was strong, but also inviting. She was very easy to approach and get along with. You could tell you would end up being friends with her in just a few short minutes.

The roommate radiated something else. Not only was she in a torn and tattered Rise Against t-shirt and tiny black shorts, she also had the most neutral, borderline scowl on her face. She greeted the three guests on the couch with a nod of her head when Stella introduced them. She didn’t say anything more as she leaned down to plug the dock into the back of the TV, her long, dark hair covering her face. She looked like someone you did not want to cross. She could probably kill you with one glare, and it wasn’t just from the amount of eyeliner she had on.

Stella and her roommate were obviously very different. So guess which of the two girls Shawn felt inexplicable attraction to.

It was probably the legs. While this mysterious roommate wasn't the tallest person in the room (taller than Stella, at least), she had some killer legs coming out of those tight little shorts. Her olive skin almost glowed in that area. At least something on this girl was glowing. Shawn tore his eyes away from her body as she addressed the group.

“I’ve got three controllers total,” she said, her voice as neutral as her face was, “the joycons for the Switch.” She held up two small grey controllers, and one black gamepad. “And I have one pro controller. If anything messes up, let me know.”

She placed the controllers on the coffee table and simply turned on her heel to leave.

“You don’t wanna join us?” Stella asked her.

Yes, please join us. You’re kinda creepy looking but I need to talk to you.

“I’m still unpacking,” the roommate called over her shoulder.

Shawn was puzzled at that answer. He shared a look with Camila and Brian, who were just as bemused.

“It’s October,” Brian pointed out.

The roommate stopped at her doorway and turned back to him. "And what about it?"

Again, if looks could kill. She was definitely someone you don’t wanna mess with.

Shawn was mildly tempted, though. He watched her go into the room and shut the door non-too-gently. If this was a full blown party, Shawn would have been able to work up the courage to sneakily follow her and hit her up. He could have disappeared with the prettiest girl at the party and his friends would be none the wiser. But this was a much smaller setting, and it would be rude for him to ditch his friends for a stranger. Not to mention, this girl's energy and general presence made Shawn just a little nervous.

Instead, he watched the other three play against each other at Mario Kart. Stella practically screamed every time she was hit with a shell, while Brian cursed every time he lost to Camila. Shawn played a couple of rounds (finishing last), but he mainly nursed his beer, eyes flickering between the TV and the roommate's bedroom door. He really shouldn't have been so quick to take interest another girl, given where he was not that long ago. Was he really that desperate? Was he more of a horndog than he thought?

Between races, the group would hear tearing noises and cardboard shuffling around from the room. There was also faint rock music playing as well, but it wasn't anything Shawn recognized. If only the roommate would leave the room so he could ask her what she was listening to… and things like that. He couldn't though, he promised he would see that other girl again, even though Shawn was quickly losing his interest. Was it a dick move? Probably, but this was something he couldn’t really explain.

The second the roommate finally did emerge from her room, Shawn took another gulp from his beer and averted his eyes back to the screen. Way to show some interest.

"Stella, have you seen my knife?" she asked from the doorway.

Not surprising in the slightest. And they've all known her for about thirty minutes.

"No, what have you been using to open your boxes?" Stella asked.

"A pencil, and it sucks."

"You're using a-"

"Yes, you can stab with any item if you try hard enough!" the roommate said impatiently. "Now have you seen my pocket knife? It's black and teal?"

Shawn didn't know what possessed him to snatch up the item on the coffee table and hold it up to the roommate. But he did it, and he could only hope he didn't look crazy. "This one?"

Her dark eyes lit up as she took the item. "Thanks, dude." With a flick of her finger, she switched the blade open and swiftly went back to her room.

Was Shawn drunk or was that kinda hot?

Like magnets, Shawn and Brian turned to each other with similar looks on their faces. They both silently agreed, yes, this girl is probably definitely a badass and kinda hot. Did you see the legs on her? Shawn quirked his eyebrows and paid attention to the TV again, even though they were in between races.

"I know that look," Stella said, her bubbly tone turning for the first time that evening.

Talk about being a deer in headlights...

"What look?" Camila asked.

"You know, when we see a cute person and silently agree on how cute they are. And you silently decide which one of you is gonna make a move."

"Oh, that look." Camila smiled, glancing at the two blushing boys.

Shawn wanted to argue, but his mind was on a pair of beautiful legs and a sexy knife. This time, when the door opened again, his heart skipped a beat. What the hell is happening?

"Hey, Stella," the roommate said again. She was holding a pair of thick, platform ankle boots. "Do we have any shoe polish?"

The boots alone put Shawn's mind on overdrive. He had to have this girl. He had to see those legs with those boots. He took another hefty gulp of his beer and tried to settle his… everything. He was very much attracted to this girl, but it's not like he could perform again after doing so a couple of hours ago. That's what was so weird. Shawn was physically spent, but he still found himself eyeing someone new. He was insanely curious about this girl, and not just her legs. Why does she have boots like that? Why was she wearing such a beat up t-shirt? Why was she so late to unpack?

"I don't have any, I know that much," Stella told her, and back into the room she went.

"Is she seeing anybody?" Shawn asked, unable to control herself.

Stella raised her eyebrows, surprised. "She doesn't want me telling you her business."

"So that's a yes?"

"It means I'm not telling you her business."

"Oh, so I should ask her directly?"

"No!"

"Can I talk to her?" Brian asked.

"No!" Stella snapped. She sighed and glanced at the bedroom door. Then she leaned in towards the group and spoke quietly. "She's going through something right now. If either of you try anything, she will bite your head off. Trust me, I've seen it happen."

Shawn chuckled, only taking this as a challenge. "A feisty one, eh? Nothing I can't handle."

Stella looked him dead in the eyes. "She has a pocket knife, and she's not afraid to use it."

It was silent apart from the game's music playing from the TV. Then, Camila spoke up.

"You two are some of the thirstiest people I've ever met. Just have fun with your friends and stop thinking about getting laid for a second!"  She lightly smacked Shawn on his shoulder. "You literally had a one night stand before you got here!" Then she turned to Stella. "And what kind of people do you room with? She's so unlike you! Like, I have so many questions."

So it wasn't only Shawn and Brian who were curious about this mystery girl.

"She is my friend," Stella firmly replied. "We have things in common that have nothing to do with how we dress ourselves. And again, she is not in a place for whatever Tweedledee and Tweedledum have in mind."

Her optimism and perkiness was long gone. She was completely serious and defensive, so Shawn let it go for now. Besides, it's not like he didn't have another option in the floor above. Although, that didn't seem so appealing anymore. He hadn't seen anything like this mysterious roommate, and he was interested in solving that mystery.

"What's her name, anyway? You gotta tell me that at least," he said to Stella.

"Ann. Annalise Flores."

Little did Shawn know, Annalise Flores would be the one to give him the air he breathes.

~

I chuckled, completely blown away by this little anecdote. "How do you remember this and I don't?"

Shawn shrugged, his eyes still on the road. "You were busy, and probably isolating yourself, so that's why you don't remember. No one has ever stood out to me so much in the span of five minutes the way you did. I knew that night wouldn't be the last time I saw you. And I was right."

My cheeks were burning, and I couldn't help but smile. "Well, Stella was right. I had just broken up with Luca at that time. The depression set me back a little bit, so that's why I was unpacking so late. And I didn't want anyone trying to pursue me. So I'm glad you didn't make your move that night."

It was a soft moment in the midst of the weird, awkward circumstances we had put ourselves into. Shawn knew how to bring light to times like these, and it reminded me of why I adored him so much.

[thejollyroger-writer]

For the tropes: Can I have a combination of 41 and 47, as in one hears the other confessing they've been in love with them for years (extra super bonus if it's Emma overhearing Killian).

Love, Baseball, and Other Things

This is the first half of a two-shot that came to mind paired with a request from @welllpthisishappening, which will be following this up… soon. (Also, Saira, notice that I decided not to include a Cubs slur with this one, specifically for you.) 

Unbetaed, because I’m a big mess

Part One:

Emma Swan was very good at her job. No one in the entire Philadelphia Police Department would argue with that — in fact, many of them even call her up when they need her to work her magic in the less-legal senses of investigation, even more so now that her brother is the captain of one of the precincts.

She’s good at tracking people down, good at learning all the dark secrets in their past. She’s good at marathoning television shows on the weekend, a good soccer player, can swing a bat pretty well (she might even fill in for David on the precinct’s softball team), good at Mario Kart, and even pretty decent at air hockey.

What she’s not good at is relationships. She’s really only been with one, with her son’s father since her first year of college, but the moment Neal heard she was pregnant, she hasn’t heard a word from him. Though she’s not as surprised anymore as she was when it happened.

But that’s another thing she’s good at: being a mother. And she would do anything to make her son happy, has lived by that for the past ten years of his life.

Which is how she ends up here as often as possible, sitting along the third base line at Citizen’s Bank Park as the sun disappears over the side of the stadium, though it doesn��t fail to blind her. Because if there’s one thing Henry loves more than anything, it’s baseball.

And if there’s one thing Emma loves more than anything, it’s Killian Jones, startoff pitcher for the Phillies, and her brother’s best friend. Though nobody in the world knows that — and she plans to keep it that way.

–/– 

Killian Jones is very good at his job. No one in the entire greater Philadelphia area would argue with that — it’s part of why they pay him so damn much. He loves the game, loves his teammates, and, perhaps the best part, he loves the city of Philadelphia and all it holds for him.

He’s got a beautiful curveball, an impressive fast, and one of the most raved-about sliders in the entire league. He runs one of the fastest miles in the game, still has time to play pick-up soccer with his old college buddies, and is learning how to play Mario Kart during his weekend at David’s house with his found family.

What he’s not good at is relationships. He’s only really been in one, during college, but since she was killed in a car accident, he hasn’t ever attempted another. He’s too broken from the loss of her to hope to give a part of his heart away again, if only for the worry that they would be taken from him the way Milah was. 

Or, that’s what he thought.

She always told him to follow his dreams, so even though he went to school for writing and journalism, he went back to the first love of his life, the thing that brought happiness in his childhood that was pretty devoid of it in other places: baseball.

What he never expected was to fall in love with his best friend’s sister along the way — though as it stands, he doesn’t plan on telling anyone in the near future.

Or, that’s what he thought.

It certainly wasn’t the best game of his career. It was still early in the season, the cool April air doing more to calm his nerves than the sweltering heat he lives with for most of the season, but that apparently meant nothing for his statistics. He allowed more runs than the past two games combined, including three inside-the-park home runs that were certainly going to plummet his numbers.

But when ruby Lucas, Philly’s MLB-affiliated journalist, finds him after the game to ask him what the hell went wrong, he certainly does not tell her about the blonde sitting behind the third-base dugout who stole his attention far before the game even started. He was absolutely not going to tell Emma’s best friend that he was completely and totally enamored by her mere presence in the stadium, not to mention that he’s absolutely in love with her.

(Though when Ruby’s eyes raise to the seats behind him, where he knows she and her son are still sitting, he has a feeling she might already know, though it’s a feeling he decides to push to the back of his mind and not focus on, especially not during an interview with MLB network.)

He finishes his interview with her, blaming nerves and the talent of the team for his slip-ups — the Cubs might not be the best team right now, but they certainly aren’t the worst. They’re pretty far from it, actually.

When he turns around after the interview, though, Emma and Henry are gone, having finished their customary helmets full of soft serve. He feels a pang in his heart — usually they wait for him to finish and he lets Henry run around the bases to exert some of the energy gained from his sugar consumption. But that does not seem to be the case today, and, trying his best to suppress the frown that he knows took over his face, he turns back to his team, only to find Robin, his best friend and second-baseman barreling towards him.

“Oi, Jones, what the hell happened out there?”

“Come on, Locksley,” Killian tries, pulling his best smile to his face. “A man’s not allowed to just have a shit day?”

“Not when that man was on the path to being the best pitcher in the entire fucking league.”

Okay, he thinks. Robin has a point.

“I guess I’m just nervous about my brother flying over to visit me.” It’s not a lie — far from it, actually. His brother is coming to visit him, their schedules allowing it for the first time in a few years — he could just have to travel to a few different cities while he’s visiting, but a British Naval Captain can afford to do that.

Robin’s gruff expression fades as he reaches to clap him on the shoulder. I guess we can choose to forgive you this time around, but you’re on thin ice.”

“Damn right he is,” Victor Whale, the first-base coach says, punching Killian’s arm as they start to head towards the locker room.

“Thin fucking ice,” Will Scarlett, right field, yells from behind him.

The berating continues through the locker room, his whole team taunting him (and each other, to be fair) about their 6-2 loss. But after the rest of the team leaves, talking about getting a pint somewhere, Killian turns down their offer, giving the excuse of needing to straighten his house before his brother’s flight lands in the morning.

(Though, the few of them that have been to Killian’s Old City apartment know just how meticulous he is, the face that he can’t stand when anything is not where it belongs, even with his grueling game and travel schedule. It’s a downright lie, and the look in Robin’s eye tells Killian that he’s sure of it.)

Which, he’s assuming, is why he sticks around when everyone else leaves, leaving only him and Killian in the room.

“When are you going to ask her out, mate?” Robin says, sitting down on the bench in the middle of the room.

“Rob, I can’t. I don’t have the time for a relationship, especially for a woman with a son.”

“You’re completely head-over-heels in love with her, Killian.”

“I definitely am not,” he retorts, but Robin has no time for him, practically yelling back in his face.

“Admit it, Jones, you’re absolutely in love with Emma Swan.”

Hanging his head in defeat, he scrubs his face with his hand, hitching his bag back up on the other shoulder.

“Fine, fine, yes, okay? I’ll admit it. Happy?”

The smile that covers Robin’s face is all the answer he needs.

—/—

How Henry convinced Emma to buy him another hot dog when all he’s done since they got to the stadium is eat, Emma may never know. The man working behind the counter wasn’t too happy about it, either, but the smile covering Henry’s face makes up for it.

She still wants to find Killian, hoping that he lets Henry run around the bases to let off some of the pent-off energy even though she’s sure that he’s already on his way out of the stadium. Hopefully he won’t care, will still let her boy do a lap, and when she turns the corner towards the exit from the locker room, smiling at Leroy, the security guard, and sees most of the team leaving the room, she almost turns around.

But she doesn’t see Killian in the crowd, would recognize his dark hair and his gait in any crowd, so she heads towards the room, passing Will Scarlett who is at the end of the line of baseball players.

“He’s inside still, love,” Will says, smiling at her when she does not need to ask the question on the tip of her tongue.

She returns the smile and heads towards the door to the locker room, which she starts to push open.

But what she hears stops her in her tracks, the door barely cracked open.

“Admit it, Jones, you’re absolutely in love with Emma Swan.”

She recognizes the voice: Robin, Killian’s best friend. She feels her heart fall on the floor in front of her (okay, maybe not), and her breath stops in her throat, especially when she hears Killian’s response.

“Fine, fine, yes, okay? I’ll admit it. Happy?”

Hoping they’re not right behind the door, she turns on her heel and reaches out to grab Henry’s hand, rushing back down the hallway as fast as she can.

“Mom, but I thought —” Henry tries, but when Emma turns to him, the words stop falling from his mouth.

“I have something to do at home that I forgot about,” she says quickly, pulling him along the corridor and turning the corner as she hears the locker room door close behind her.

Shattered

You can find all other IkeSen works of mine here.

NOTE: This covers severe depression and alludes to suicidal thoughts. If this distresses you, I advise avoiding it. Your self care comes before a fic.

It’s a ritual now. Thursday, Friday, Saturday night, they all pile onto the couch in his bonus room that Shingen broke by being Shingen, and they play Mario Kart and drink entirely too many sodas until entirely too early in the morning. 

“Motherfucker,” she hisses between clenched teeth, hammering at the controller. “Who shot me with the blue shell?”

“We’ll never tell,” Sasuke answers, but Yukimura can’t hold down the grin and so he smiles, hoping she can’t see it. She does.

“Ass,” she snaps, and it’s with just as much competitive venom as he’s come to expect by now. “I’ll get you.”

“Get at me. I’ll still win.”

She wrinkles her nose and screws her mouth tight, and Yukimura rolls her eyes at her. Finishing first, he shoots her a smug smirk, and she responds by sticking her tongue out at him over Sasuke’s hunched shoulders, the fire of her eyes sparking and flashing. 

It’s Friday a month later, and she doesn’t come.

“Did you see her in first period today?” Yukimura asks Shingen, more concerned than he expected to be. “She sick or something?”

“Nah, she was there. Seemed kind of out of it, though.” Shingen shrugs. There’s a knock at the bonus room door and Sasuke emerges alone.

“She okay?” Yukimura asks before even greeting him, so unused to seeing his best friend without his best friend. Sasuke shrugs, noncommittal and quiet, and for once Yukimura is really annoyed at his tight lips.

“I don’t think it would be appropriate for me to discuss it,” he says lightly, and slips onto the couch. “Controller two, Shingen?”

They’re graduating, and something is off about her.

It has been for months. She started showing again not much later, but--but she’s not there, not present the way she used to be, the fire in her eyes guttered and flat. He isn’t even sure it’s her for a while. 

“Seriously,” he asks at lunch one day, frowning at her. “What’s wrong?”

“Yuki,” Sasuke chides, sharper than Yukimura has ever heard him, and the discussion falls flat on the table. 

He might be brash and impulsive and headstrong (and he knows it, Shingen and his mom and everyone else won’t let him forget it, god knows) but he’s not blind, and the way Kenshin is suddenly so damn thoughtful and Shingen is quiet and patient and Sasuke is so protective of her doesn’t escape him. It’s like a game the other three play, now. When she wears long sleeves one of them will shove it up with a commentary about it being too damn hot for that, fingertips lingering on wrists as if checking for something, and the flat, hollow disc of her eyes and her absence and the way she never gets up before noon anymore suddenly makes sense. 

He’s never felt so helpless in his life.

Sasuke gets accepted to a fancy school with a fantastic physics program about an hour away, which is small comfort, but at least he’s still within reaching distance. But she wound up at the same college as him and in the same degree, no less, Business, which she joked dully in class one day was, “About the same as just saying ‘I don’t know what I want’.”

Well, she wasn’t wrong.

He didn’t see a lot of her. She was in lecture as often as out if it, doing frustratingly well despite her absence, and Yukimura wondered for a bit if she was partying and playing hooky.

“No,” Sasuke answered, his voice clipped and sharp as if it had been an accusation and not a wonder. “She’s not.”

Yukimura paused. “I mean, should I be worried about her?”

Sasuke took way, way too long to answer that. “I don’t know.” 

In Sasuke-ese, that was as good as a yes.

She called him one night at two AM, and when he picked up the phone he knew something was wrong.

“I--” She sucked in one long, deep breath, and he blinked himself awake. “What are you doing?”

“Sleeping, dummy, what’s going on?”

“Nothing. Sorry. Go back to sleep.”

“Shut up.” He was getting his shorts on, struggling with them one-handed. “Where are you?”

“Um, the Compass.”

“Outside? Just chilling outside at two am? Jesus. Get inside the Commons and I’ll meet you there.”

She was wrapped in a chair, feet planted into the arm rest, when he arrived, and she looked like a dead woman walking. Yukimura sat heavily in the one across from her and scooted it in gracelessly, his knees nested against her hip.

“What’s going on?” He asked.

“Nothing.” She paused. “I don’t know.”

“You don’t know?”

A long pause and she stared at him with eyes he could only distantly remember being alive, imagining a spark of something that once existed there. “I don’t have the right to feel like this.” 

“Shut up, dummy.” He didn’t know what else to say. Why wasn’t Shingen here, with his quicksilver words, or Sasuke with his patience and kindness, or, hell, even Kenshin with his backwards charisma? Instead she was stuck with him, and he felt wholly unqualified. Shoving back the chair, he held out a stubborn hand. “Come on.”

“Where are we going?” But she took it regardless, her hand dead weight in his and rising sluggishly.

“You need sleep and you aren’t going to do it in your dorm, clearly.”

Yukimura stuck a post-it note to his roommates bunk that read MAKE A COMMENT ABOUT THIS AND I’LL FUCKING KILL YOU and slipped into his bunk with her. She was rigid and tight at first, but Yukimura swallowed his pride and pulled her in against him, her back to his chest and his breath feathering her nape, and she rolled over to face him.

“Yuki,” she whispered, serious as the grave, “I want to die.”

“I mean,” he answered, dry as the desert and drowning in sand, “Okay, and all that, but we’re not going to let you go without a fight. None of us. Not Sasuke or Shingen or Kenshin or--”

Or me, me most of all, me above anyone else, and that realization hung so hard and heavy like an anvil in his chest that it crushed his lungs, and he gazed into her half-lit eyes like flat coins for the ferryman of the Styx, only one short. But he wasn’t good with words, so instead he pulled her in to his chest tight, his hands flat against the plane of her shoulders. It was the last crack in a dam. He felt her shudder and crumble and there came the sobs, hot and hard and huge against him, and she was soaking his shirt but he didn’t give a damn, not when it was the most emotion she’d shown in years. 

He skipped class the next day, too, and they went and got ice cream and drove out into the west. There the city melted behind them and the trees grew tall and at last, they were winding their way up a mountain road and into the stretch of hiking trails where phone service went dead.

“I think I’m going to fail Econ,” she commented at one point. 

“Fuck it.” Yukimura shrugged and offered her a bite of his half-eaten granola bar. “It’s just Econ.”

“Makes me feel like a failure.”

“Look, dummy,” he sighed, exasperated. “You’re acing Trig, and I’m failing so hard that I don’t know which way is up, and I’m trying. You’re only going to fail Econ cause you don’t show up, and you’ve got reasons. You’re brilliant.”

A ghost of a smile flitted over her lips and he considered that a victory. “Says the guy who calls me ‘Dummy’ all the time.”

“Yeah, well,” he grumbled, digging frantically for something he didn’t know how to say, “Being shitty to your friends is par for the course, right?”

They took a trail advertised as Easy but they both found taxing, and by the second time they were lapped by energetic hikers in their sixties, it became a private joke between them, silent laughter escaping her, and he saw a spark there in her eyes. Slow as turtles, they made it to the bottom by a massive waterfall, the broad rocks across the water slick with spray, and she grinned at him.

“I’m going to go across them and sit in the middle.”

“Ugh.” 

But he joined her anyway, and they were midway across before he slipped, his heel skidding off the rock and ow, his tailbone smacked hard against the stone before he crashed into the water, bobbing to the surface in time to see her practically collapse with laughter and lose her own footing, joining him. With a smug grin, he splashed at her. “Karma’s a bitch.”

She splashed him back. “So am I.”

No you’re not, he wanted to say, wanted to scream, wanted to whisper at her, you’re beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, in all your shattered and weak and strong and powerful and complicated ways, but it sounded too much like Shingen so he didn’t. Instead he lapped toward her, catching her waist hard against his, and kissed her drenched lips like it would keep her here. Shock slanted her lip sideways and for a moment he drew back, terrified that he’d made a mistake, but she smiled back at him, that flame sparking promisingly in her eyes. 

“Do that again,” she said.

“Dummy,” he growled, “I was going to.” And he did. 

He was lying if he ever said it was easy, so he didn’t. It broke his heart every time over the passing months that her eyes guttered and went out, steeped in shadow and twilight, but she was still there, it was still her, and he hugged and kissed and loved her like he had the words to fix it.

He didn’t. No one did. But that was fine, because it would pass like rain, no matter how long the storm, and the fire was back again.

“I’m sorry,” she said one time, her neck a shimmer in the sun and the dark, wild mark he’d left on the curve prominent. “That you have to take care of me so much. I’m sorry.” 

He rolled his eyes at her and took her hand, ticking off her fingers as if counting every year they’d been together since that day, one, two, three, four, five, and he snipped back at her, “Don’t say that, you dummy. I would have left a long time ago if you had a reason to be sorry.”

“I mean, sure, but you have to just take care of me so much sometimes.”

“Yeah, well,” he muttered, searching through the words, rifling through the pantry of his vocabulary and smashing things together that sounded stupid, “You loving me takes care of me, so I guess we’re even.”

And she sparked and flashed, her eyes not quite alive but her smile genuine nonetheless, and he lived for that smile sometimes just as much as she made herself live for his sometimes, and so he leaned in and kissed her hard and warm and tender. “Shut up and let’s go get dinner. What do you want?”

RFA + Minor Trio: Video Games

So I got bored, and being the Mystic Messenger obsessed game addict that I am, my mind wandered to wondering what sorts of video games the RFA would play, like types or genres and some examples (aside from LOLOL in Yoosung’s case of course lol), which led to making this headcanon post. Of course, these are all just my personal headcanons, and I would love to hear what thoughts you guys have for this subject! Sharing headcanons is fun~!! Sorry this got kinda long tho lol I guess I got carried away ^^;;;

Note: If you’re on the mobile app and only see Yoosung’s section, copy and paste the post’s URL into your mobile web browser. That should fix it~

💚YOOSUNG💚

Well we all know that he’s addicted to LOLOL, and probably plays or has tried other MMOs. As perfect as those are for him, I’m looking at other types of games for this. Otherwise it’s too easy lol

Plays RPGs and adventure games the most

When he can make a custom character, his preferred classes are knight or warrior classes, but he’s also open to playing as mages

Definitely the kind of player that picks up every. Single. Side quest. Because he wants to help everyone

Need a certain number of rarely dropped items? No problem!

Want to deliver an item to someone who’s not even a two minute walk away? He’s on it!

Got a super difficult optional boss that you want dead that can–and will–display the Game Over screen multiple times, and you’re offering a class-specific item he can’t use as a reward? Sign him the fuck up!

Unless they want something he doesn’t agree with… -gives Skyrim’s Blades the side-eye-

No matter how hard he tries, he just can’t bring himself to play the “asshole/aggressive character” style

“Sure, this assassin was hired by that one traitor who wants us dead, my party is totally against letting him live since he might try to kill us again, and we have absolutely no reason to trust him aside from his seemingly honest answers which he could have just fabricated to save himself, so logic seems to point at killing him to be safe…………buuuuuuuuuut he could be a helpful party member and then no one has to die!”

Also, he loves games that encourage interaction with other players!

“People think that you don’t get any friends if you play games… but you get tons!” TRUTH!!!

So yeah, games with interaction are great!

Honestly MMORPGs are fucking perfect for him and and that’s why he’s addicted to LOLOL! lol seriously dude game with me plz

Really likes Pokemon for the sense of community with trades and battles and such

Totally attempted to make a competitive team at some point

Whenever new games are announced, he and Seven figure out who gets what version so they can trade version exclusives and such

Can never beat Seven in a battle tho… The one rival battle he can never win T^T

Also this guy is a Kirby fan fight me on this

♥ZEN♥

Not a lot of time for gaming with his schedule, but he doesn’t mind using them to wind down or as a distraction when he has the time or feels really stressed out (and if working out doesn’t help first)

He’s a fan of the more cinematic or story driven games, like Shadow of the Colossus, Heavy Rain, and The Last of Us

Knowing this, Yoosung recommended some Telltale games to him

Zen got hooked. The Wolf Among Us is probably his favorite

Plus their episodic releases really work with his schedule, with each episode lasting about 2 hours, give or take. So if he starts on a fully released one, he can do one episode a day until he’s done

Sometimes he and Yoosung will talk about how their stories went or what choices they made

“Wait, you knew what ‘Glass him’ meant???”

“Of course I did, Yoosung, that’s why I didn’t choose it! What did you think it meant?”

“I thought it meant giving him a drink, not smashing the glass in his face!!!”

“lol well now you know in case they use it again!”

“T_T”

Also, I’m sure this likely goes without saying, but this man is damn good at DDR style games or Pump it Up I guess cuz Korea but you get my point. Good luck trying to beat him lol

I mean, first off, he’s clearly got great rhythm considering his job

And second, great form of aerobic exercise! So why not?

Might try to get Yoosung into exercising more by tricking convincing him to play this with him

He’s definitely a “freestyle” sorta player, doin’ all sorts of flashy moves

Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s been asked to do voice work for a game

Maybe a dating sim…

💜JUMIN💜

Okay, let’s get the obvious out of the way. This man definitely plays Neko Atsume and no force in this universe can convince me otherwise. It’s about cats and you really only play it in very short intervals through the day, which works with his schedule. It’s perfect for him. Moving on 

With his busy schedule due to running a company and whatnot, there really isn’t a lot of time for him to sit down to play video games despite owning a couple of systems apparently. It might be days or weeks between play sessions. So casual games are more his thing

Okay so, hear me out. Animal Crossing New Leaf

You’re in charge of a village and what gets built where, gotta manage your finances with paying off your house and having new structures and businesses built, sometimes schedule meetings visits with the villagers, cat villagers

NOTHING BUT CAT VILLAGERS

Questions Tom Nook’s business strategy regarding the house

“Why have the house expanded before they pay for it? A customer could easily betray your trust that way by never paying you for the final expansion. Paying ahead of time as you do with the exterior customizations would be wiser.”

“Jumin it’s just a game… ;;;;;;” 

Probably made Jaehee get a copy of the game to make some tasks easier

“Assistant Kang, you have perfect oranges in your village, yes?”

“Yes, though why are you asking me right now? Don’t you have a meeting in five minutes?”

“I’m passing the time, and Mitzy requested an orange.”

“Don’t you have regular oranges to give her?”

“Of course, but Mitzy deserves no less than a perfect orange.” plus he still needs her picture, and prefect fruit will help with that

-_-;;; “……I don’t think I can get one to you before the meeting, but I can have a full basket ready for you after you’re done.”

“That will do.”

Also, do not let this man play Minecraft

Remember, this is the guy who made fucking blueprints when he was told to draw a house when he was a little kid. He would definitely get carried away like that in Minecraft 

Like in the tutorial when they tell you to make a house? Basically just a simple box with a door? pffft, nah. That won’t do

He would probably end up building the most elaborate cube-based house you could possibly imagine and leave you wondering how the fuck he had the free time to build that

“Firstly you need a nice foyer to leave a good first impression. A standard house should have at least two bedrooms, though three would be ideal. And a living room and a kitchen are both necessary, of course. I suppose a library or office is optional, but they make a great addition. Getting enough colored wool proved to be difficult, but adding some color with carpets keeps the house from looking bland and–”

“Jumin it’s just the tutorial! You just need a one room house with a door and a bed!”

“That’s not a house, though. That’s a shed with a bed.”

-facepalm-

might use it to help plan out layouts for new buildings

💛JAEHEE💛

Man, most of these guys really don’t have time for gaming, huh?

Jaehee probably has the least amount of free time for gaming tho. Poor Baehee barely has time to sleep :c

She’s honestly really not that into games tho, so this doesn’t bother her. There are much more productive things she can do in her spare time like get some sleep jfc let the woman get enough sleep for once plz!!

Though if Zen did do a voice in a game she would play it in a heartbeat, or look up a playthrough at the very least. Nowhere near the same as seeing him actually acting up on a stage of course, but surely he can do a great performance solely with his voice!

Like Jumin, casual games that you can put down for long periods of time would suit her best

Actually ends up liking Animal Crossing more than she thought she would or wants to admit

She loves how the villagers are always happy to see her and always rooting for her, and she absolutely adores Isabelle

Probably has a Brewster plush or figure somewhere in her cafe

While I don’t think she’d actually play them, I can imagine her being REALLY good at fighting games

Just takes her a quick look through those lengthy combo lists and she’s got that shit memorized, and with a few practice rounds she can kick your ass with perfect wins before you even know what hit you

But of course, she probably wouldn’t play them, so you don’t have to worry about that :)

❤️️707❤️️

Yay, someone with some time to game!

Actually no, that’s a lie, but he procrastinates on his work a lot, so he has game time

Anything that’s humorous or gives him a chance to be a jackass would be his shit

Sometimes you just need the stupid humor of a goat flying through the air in ragdoll mode to help you get through the day, y'know?

He also enjoys puzzle games to exercise his mind, and racing games for obvious reasons he can go fast without risking his babies’ safety lol

Okay so in Yoosung’s route, he mentions playing GTO (assumed to be a knockoff of GTA), which makes sense for him because cars and high jinks, but with that in mind you know what he’d really get a kick out of?

Saints Row, especially Saints Row IV, cuz that one has hacking elements, and you get superpowers, and you gotta save people and shit. Sounds great for the Defender of Justice, no? The comedy and great music selection is a bonus, really c:

As for being a jackass… Be cautious if you invite him to play Mario Party with you.

He will purposely aim for the Chance Time spaces just to watch everyone else freak out about it, and he will aim for stealing your stars and often succeeds

He’s also really fuckin’ good at Mario Kart. Do not challenge him unless you like being hit by blue shells and other such items

Also, Battleblock Theater. Great puzzle platformer, good humor, and in co-op mode, a great chance to be an ass!! Much to Yoosung’s dismay lol

“Seven, stop throwing me into the water!! And stop blowing me up! We won’t get the time bonus at this rate!”

“lolol who cares, seeing you get mad is worth it~”

A grumpy Yoosung later got revenge by shoving 707’s character into the water

they laugh about it later lol

💙V💙

Guys, this poor man can’t see well at all. Like, he can only see a little bit out of his left eye. That kinda makes video games a challenge for him

That being said…idk he probably liked Pokemon Snap when he could see

Okay seriously this time, imagining he can see well and his life isn’t shit. He’d be a big fan of games that are about exploration and have stunning views or a unique art style

He’d probably really like Okami, Unravel, and Journey

Ori and the Blind Forest! Get it? Cuz he’s.........into artistic games and that game is really fuckin’ pretty

and he’s bli--

Also Firewatch. That game is fucking gorgeous. He would take so many screenshots in that one plus there’s a camera feature in the game lol

Also imagine him and Jumin playing Animal Crossing together and tell me that’s not the cutest shit

It’s a cute and light-hearted game, which I feel like he’d be into, he can play it on his 3DS when travelling, and it’s something he could play with his best buddy~ I’m down for this

Oh shit sudden thought

Okay hear me out! In an attempt to try to get closer to Yoosung, V asks him to teach him how to play LOLOL. Yoo might be a little hesitant at first but eventually agrees to it and holy shit it actually goes well and yay they’re bonding!

And damn V does a great job as a support mage

Of course V can’t play much due to travelling for work, but they try to schedule play times around that and make it work out. And during his travels, if V comes across a location that reminds him of some scenery seen in the game, he sends a picture of it to Yoosung and can this be a thing? I want this to be a thing because I need more Yoosung and V fluff in my life okay sorry for the ramble MOVING ON

seriously tho he probably really liked Pokemon Snap as a kid

💔SAERAN💔

Look me in the eyes and tell me this guy doesn’t rage quit

Like Michael Jones Rage Quit levels of rage quit

That first one is definitely him and Seven

Otherwise he’s pretty much silent when playing

As for games he’d like, anything that’ll let him blow off some steam, like shooters or fighting games

Need a partner for CoD Zombies? Or need someone to co-op Resident Evil with? Well, he’s not much of a multiplayer sorta guy, but if you can convince him then you’re set cuz he’d be damn good at those! 

And Multi-man Smash mode in Smash Bros is very therapeutic to him

Especially when his brother gets on his nerves

Which is often…

You can tell he’s really pissed off when he breaks out Mortal Kombat > ->;;;;;

Also, I can’t help but think that he’d be pretty good at the Guitar Hero and Rock Band games

As in “really fucking close to 100%-ing Through the Fire and the Flames on Expert mode in GH3” pretty good

Seriously his hacker hands are probably really fuckin’ fast I’m sure he could pull it off

Though when his bro sets up a “Family Game Night” and you know he would totally do that at some point or some sort of gaming get-together and sets up Rock Band, Saeran usually prefers to play the drums

holy shit drummer Saeran tho

Oh yes, thinking of gaming nights, if you thought Sev was a monster at Mario Kart, hoo boy, Saeran can be pretty ruthless himself

Except he usually saves all of his blue shells and other misery-inducing items for his bro

In a way he’d be your ally if you get stuck behind Seven

But when they need to team up, like for a 2v2 minigame in Mario Party, you are done

Those two working together make a lethal combination that you could never hope to defeat

I blame twin magic

💘VANDERWOOD💘️

So, hear me out. Card games

They probably play casual card games like Solitaire, Spider Solitaire, Hearts, etc on their phone to pass time

And they come across as a decent strategist to me, considering their job

And card games tend to focus very heavily on strategy

So card-based games like Shadowverse and (don’t laugh) Yu-Gi-Oh and such are probably up their alley

They’d also be really good tactical games like Disgaea

But for the most part they just favor those simple card games like Solitaire. They have too much to do to focus on other such games

Not that Seven hasn’t tried to drag them into gaming with him!

They only agreed to it when they thought Seven would get back to work after a quick game of Mario Kart or Smash Bros or something

Would lose on purpose to make the game go faster

Sev would know though and try to force them into another round

“This time with feeling!”

（；¬＿¬) “…Alright, fine…..”

Another victory for 707

“Okay, you won again, now back to work.”

“Oh come on, one more! You looked like you were having fun that time! Sorta kinda!”

-Vanderwood pulls out taser-

;;;;;;; “Right, back to work! Understood!”

Was definitely having fun tho. Don’t tell Seven

Pickup Post #7 - Sony “Wiiks” 3

Been a while since a post, so this one will be pretty long, despite not having found something every single week, there are a few here, so it is pretty long. I have still made time to stop at a few places. I hit my local Goodwill, a few yard sales, and had a LetGo pickup. It hasn’t been terrible, just a little slow.

So let’s get into it.

I’ll try to go in order, and just after the last post I went into my local Goodwill and there looked to be a fresh PS2 drop off. No system, but there were about 15 games that weren’t there the last time I was in. Most of it was schlock, sports games, Guitar Hero and the like. But there was a copy of Need For Speed Pro Street that was in decent shape. I’d never played it before, and it was the best of the lot. The problem was, I’d forgotten my Game Hunting money that day. I really try not to let this hobby get in the way of normal life. I only hit places when they are on the way to a place I am already going, or if they are pretty close to a place I am already. I also keep this strictly within the game hunting money budget. So I looked for a place to hide the game in the store. I dropped it behind a row of DVDs. They were to the front of a pretty deep shelf and there was room behind it. I figured, if it’s there when I get back, fine, if they find it and it sells, I won’t be heartbroken.

Well, I was back the next day picking up dinner nearby, so I popped in, and, it was still there.

I popped it in to see if it worked and it does. Didn’t really play, but I did a quick race just to get an idea of it, and it is weird. I haven’t played any NFS series since the PSX had NFS Hot Pursuit. I did play that a lot, and enjoyed it, which was probably the only reason I gave this a go. This ran me $3.21. Still not a bad find.

It is complete. Disc is in good shape. Not great, but good. I’ll throw this in the collection to kill some time at a later date.

The next week I stopped at a yard sale that was supposed to have Wii games. It was a Facebook ad so I could communicate with the seller. I asked what Wii games she had, and she replied with Mario Kart, some hunting games, and that she wasn’t sure what else. I thought it was worth a stop, it wasn’t far from my house and I was on the way to work anyway. I got there as the sale was opening, I asked about the games, it was raining and I was the only one there. Everything was still being set up because it was still a mess. They could not find the Wii games anywhere. I was disappointed, I’ve been trying to get a copy of Mario Kart Wii for a while with no luck. People keep wanting $15+ for it on LetGo or OfferUp, not that I can blame them, I think Pricecharting has this game at $15 just for loose disc. But, I thought this might be an opportunity to pick it up for $5 or so. I hung around, poking through the pile of mess they had in the garage, hoping he may find it. They had a pile of PS2 games that I glanced through. A case with like 25 DS games in it. I wished I had more time to paw through everything, but I was on my way to work. Sitting on top was Spirit Tracks, which would have been awesome CIB, but I popped it open and saw some other schlock game. Another let down. Pawed through the PS2 games a little more thoroughly, and it was more crap, hunting games, Medal of Honor games, Guitar Hero and sports games, etc. They did have Hot Shots Tennis, and having just got a Hot Shots Golf title, I figured why not. I came here, and have killed 15 minutes already waiting for the Wii games to turn up when it was supposed to really just be a 5 minute stop, might as well walk away with something. Offered $1, and he took it.

Haven’t played it, but the Hot Shots series is nothing less than a “Me Too” Mario Game copycat series, so if it plays anything like Mario Tennis, it can’t be that bad. For a buck? Why not.

It’s in good shape, and complete. Disc is better than NFS pro Street, so this one will go in the collection as well.

The PS2 collection is starting to fill out a little bit at this point.

I have gotten the PCSX2 emulator, and Free McBoot as well, so I dumped my own BIOS and the emulator works pretty well. Not all games play, but most do. I have also ripped these to ISO and run them from a HDD on the PC (they load SO much faster) and they can be loaded on a HDD on the PS2 as well (once I figure out how, heh). You can see the HDD in the “surgery” shot from last post, along with an IDE to USB adapter. So that’s in the plan. It is an 200GB IDE, or PATA, drive and I only plan on keeping copies of games I actually own on the HDD, simply to keep me from having to handle the discs to play the games. Hopefully that proves to work out. I’m just leery of all the programs you need to install and use to accomplish it. I may build a disposable windows virtual machine to handle it in case something winds up being malware.

Anyway, enough of that. Moving on.

The following week came and went, and on that Friday, there was another sale right on the way to the office that advertised a “Nintendo Handheld” and “Nintendo Games”. So I decided to investigate. I figured it could be anything from an old Game Boy and games, on up to a 3DS XL and games. Well, it was a regular DS, looked to be an original generation. With a $50 sticker on it. After I did a double take and tucked my eyes back in their sockets at the price, I leafed through the games. All schlock little kids games. Not even an Animal Crossing. Nothing. The sign there said they want $10 PER GAME.

Per game!?

You have like 12 games here! You are telling me you want $170 for all these games and the DS? You know for $200 you can buy a brand new 3DS XL. I’d be a buyer for the entire lot at maybe $30. MAYBE. But not $170, not even $150, or even $100. So I forgot about it. Way too far apart, and I didn’t want to insult her. If I offered even $40 it would sound insanely low to her given what she clearly thought it was worth.

Moving through the sale I spotted a Wii though, all by itself. No cords, no WiiMotes, nothing. Even missing the controller port flap. The games were sitting there, also labeled at $10 each, but the Wii itself was labeled $7.50. Already a decent deal, but with everything else priced so high, this was the only opportunity to get anything out of this sale. I decided to see if I could get it for a steal. I said that Wii looks a little rough, any cords for it? She says no. I’m like man, no cords, no controllers, it’s missing the controller port cover flap, would you take $5 for it? She thought about it for a moment, and accepted the $5.

Here it is.

It’s in pretty good shape, a little dirty, nothing that can’t be washed up. Since the Wii is my newest console that I own, it is on the living room TV, it was a quick swap in to test it. It works. When it powered on I heard it spinning up a disc, before it even got past that first black screen that makes you press A. I was like oh nice, free game. Judging from the games that were on the table that they wanted $10 each for, I was almost positive it was going to be some Barbie game, or something like Carnival Games. However I was pleasantly surprised. If you follow me on Instagram I’ve ruined this for you, but for those who don’t know yet, check it.

WHAT!?

Been looking for this forever, and I finally get to play it. It’s a bummer it isn’t complete. But I’ve been looking for a Wii to try Soft Modding. I didn’t want to eff up my Wii somehow in the process and lose all of the content that I’ve paid for, so I have been keeping my eye out for a cheap Wii. This was perfect. To get a copy of Mario Kart Wii on top of that is just a nice bonus!

Finally, I had a LetGo deal with someone. We went back and forth quite a bit. The lot is for 20 PS2 games and she had it priced at “$2 each”. I was honest right off the bat, $40 is not going to happen with anyone on these titles, I said I’m usually at about $1 per game for PS2, and at first glance I see only about 11 games that are worth anything, would you take $11? I was expecting to be ignored or at least get a counter offer, that is the MO most of the time on LetGo, no one wants to hear the ugly truth about the games or systems they have. You offer a reasonable price for something, but its only half what they have it listed for and they simply ignore you. This offer being at only about 25% is like a lowball, but she had it priced WAY too high is all.

She just said “Sure”.

Since it looked like we’d make a deal I took a closer look at the titles. They were worse than I thought, the non-sports games were the likes of Guitar Hero, and Cabela’s schlock. That reduced the “good” titles down even further to more like 7. I use the term “good” loosely. In this lot good simply meant it wasnt a sports or guitar hero game. Even those 7 were luke warm, but I was still interested if she could come down some more. I said honestly, after looking closer, I’m closer to $7 on this, I apologize, but the titles are pretty weak. Plus I didn’t know if they were complete or not, though I suppose I could have asked, but since she agreed to $11 so quickly I thought I’ll just throw a price out as if they aren’t.

She said OK.

Apparently she knew they were on the weak side too. We met, and I picked them up.

I am glad I lowered my offer, NFL 2K3 is the ONLY complete title. The rest are without manuals. Which I’m OK with at a price of $0.35 each, I had no intention of keeping anywhere near all of these, I honestly wanted them to beef up the sale of the second PS2 I have, hoping to tack on an extra $10 - $15 or so with a nice big stack of games in the picture.

I’ll probably only hang onto these ones, and even a few of these are maybes:

Of those in the picture, GT3, SOCOM and GTAIII are the only ones I really wanted to actually keep, and of course none of them are complete. So who knows about even those.

I was thinking of asking $25 for the second fat PS2, power and video cables, and one controller. If I can throw all of the leftover games from this lot on top of it and get $35, I’ll be a happy camper.

Last thing about this pickup, the ATV games are wrecked, especially ATV Offroad Fury 2. The case is destroyed.

You can see ATV Offroad Fury in the background there too, with a big hole in the art on the spine. A couple more shots of the damage:

Fortunately, the find with the two PS2s in it from Sony Weeks 2 had an empty case for ATV Offroad Fury, and the Goodwill by my work had some empty cases they just went ahead and gave me that included ATV Offroad Fury 2, the last time I bought something there. Which by the way was GTA Vice City, I’ll get to that in a minute. Here are the empty cases.

So lets freshen up the ATV Offroad Fury games. Why not? Top row, from this find, bottom row from the cases I had on hand.

Boom.

There we go, both in their new homes. The ATV Offroad Fury game was even a greatest hits, so the disc and case match. Not bad. Not valuable, or perhaps even the greatest games, but they are at least complete now.

As for the mentioned GTA Vice City, I grabbed that because it was absolutely immaculate.

It literally looked like someone bought it, took the shrink wrap off, and then set it on a shelf, later to stick it in a box and bring it to Goodwill.

So down to business, we had $79.36 left at the end of the last post, so we are pretty good on hunting money. We bought two games at the Goodwill for a total of $6.42, that takes us down to $72.94.

Then we got the $5 Wii, and the $7 LetGo deal, bringing us down to $60.94 remaining hunting money.

I am probably going to relax a bit on hunting for a week or two. I’m not going to stop altogether but may back off a little bit. Maybe focus on getting a few of the games listed on eBay that I have that need to be sold before getting back out there real hard core.

Either way, $60.94  remaining is still doing quite good considering what we got in the last month. Happy hunting everyone.
