Theory Essay- Celci and Darkiplier
Just a quick one (I hope). Does Celci is Darkiplier???
Disclaimer: I have not seen every single shred of the Markiplier Expanded Universe content, and I’ve only recently started visiting Twitter a little more regularly. There was a time where I didn’t actively watch Markiplier content for a while, so I’ve definitely missed some older theories, social media content, and a large part of the Unus Annus storyline. But I think this is pretty well thought out and was worth mentioning.
To start out; I noticed that Celci’s dossier is different from the other crew members’. (I would format these side-by-side for the sake of your dash, but I can’t unfortunately.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It’s kind of obvious: Celci’s has white smudges with "rEd AnD bLuE!!!!!!” outlines (along with the ‘framing’ blood-like smudges). Also, I took the liberty to brighten up the text to try to read it:
Tumblr media
MA, Clinical Psychology
Animosity Towards ‘Mark’
O (m? omnipotence? Unsure at this point).
Not much more, but there’s that (Mark probably purposefully made it a lower quality on purpose to keep us from FNAF-ing these things like Scott Cawthon trained the older FNAF community to do). I unfortunately don’t have the font, so I can’t try to match up the lettering to some of the visible edges to spell anything out (if you know the font off the top of your head, absolutely let me know or try to do the letter match-up yourself!)
Anyway, onward.
CC doesn’t like the guy named ‘Mark’, who to us looks like Actor!Mark, though at this point we don’t know if Engineer!Mark is actually a part played by Actor or just another ego with the same name (kinda hoping for the latter, since I’ve been ‘squishing’ on Mark for a long time and to find out he’s one of our old antagonists would kind of crush me >w>; But that’s beside the point).
Tumblr media
Yeah, obvious, but worth mentioning since there’s parallels between the actors characters’ not liking each other at two separate times (CC and Engineer!Mark, and Celine and Actor!Mark in WKM).
My next point is that in Who Killed Markiplier, the DA (Y/N) dies, but then gets inhabited by the twins, Celine and Damien. Just before they (as Dark) take over, we looked like this:
Tumblr media
Then a viewpoint transition:
Tumblr media
And quite noticeably, our hand changes:
Tumblr media
And suddenly, we look like Damien.
Tumblr media
It could be that the DA is ‘played’ by Mark Fischbach (at this point), but why would there be a transition into a visibly different hand? Also, in the mirror, Mark’s clearly not holding the camera so that is purposeful editing to make the film only *look* like he’s looking in a mirror.
My point is, to me it looks like the DA’s body physically changed once Dark took hold... and the look he chose for now was Damien.
I can’t remember exactly where, but Mark did mention that Wilford didn’t recognize Darkiplier as Damien for a time until after Wilford ‘Motherloving’ Warfstache, but I honestly chalk that up to a mix of Wil actively running from his murderous/painful past and legitimately forgetting what the people he loved used to look like (as seen in WMW when he literally has no clue who Abe is for a while). I thought that was worth a mention.
So what I’m trying to push forward is that Celci is Darkiplier - or at least a part of him (them?) on the ship using Celine’s face. I also want to point out that she’s blue-coded. Not just her clothes and hair, but down to her eyebrows and eyeshadow too. Could be because of the cryo job of one Celci F(ahrenheit?) Kelvina, but it could also be... more than just one connection?
Tumblr media
Regarding Darkiplier, Damien is the side of him that’s associated more closely with blue.
Tumblr media
Considering that Mark says that Darkiplier can no longer feel any of the softer emotions, this could mean that this is a portion of Damien (the more empathetic of the twins) who took on Celci’s face. Which is why she’s pretty chill and even kind to the Captain. (Ha! Chill - geddit?)
As for the Matpat idea that Ms Whitacre is a part of Celine? Well, I do think that could still be something. After all, we don’t see any other colonists, just the crew. And who’s in charge of Cryo? Possibly-Darkiplier-fragment Celci.
I was hoping this wouldn’t get long, but here you go XD An essay. I feel like it’s a small idea, but I wanted to provide context for why I thought the way I did. Feel free to discuss an add. ^^

As You Go | Ethan Nestor
M A S T E R L I S T YouTube Masterlist
angsty smut requests info 
I’ve always had a thing for Ethan. So I decided to incorporate him, hope you guys like it! If there are any other YouTubers you want me to write about lmk! I promise I’m going to start chipping away at my requests, I love you all. I had to get this out of my system, because this song (and this one too) hella inspired me to write a piece based on it. also this gif is doing things to me. look at Ethan. his chest, his legs, his arms, his e v e r y t h i n g.
also I kept the smut short bc I’m not sure how people will respond to it, if you guys like it I’ll write more (much longer) Ethan smut. 
Tumblr media
Mark promised to give Ethan the space he needed, but he just couldn’t help reaching out. While what happened wasn’t necessarily Mark’s fault, Ethan’s anger was being directed at both you and Mark. The guilt that had made a home in Mark’s chest was enough to cripple him, and he was borderline desperate for Ethan’s forgiveness. He texted, he called, he even emailed Ethan. Despite Amy advising Mark to give Ethan the space he desperately needed, he just couldn’t. In reality, it truly wasn’t Mark’s fault- but he still feels responsible for what you did that night. Ethan had shut himself in his house, and Mark hadn’t heard from him in nearly a week. It was killing him. It was just a mistake, it didn’t mean anything. At least it sure as hell didn’t mean anything to Mark, how could Ethan believe Mark wanted it? He has Amy- he loves Amy. 
“I have to go see him.” Mark says decisively as he reaches for his car keys. But Amy reaches for them first. 
“He doesn’t want to see you.” The truth of it stings, it causes Mark to flinch. 
“I don’t care, he only knows what he saw.” Mark snaps, the pain from the memory flooding back in. 
“And what he saw traumatized him Mark, you need to give him time. He’ll come around. I told Y/N the same thing.” Amy explains, a firm look in her eyes. Mark felt emotion swell in his throat as tears misted in his eyes. “Think about how he must be feeling, he trusted the two of you more than anyone else. Ethan was never worried about leaving you and Y/N alone and then-” 
“She kissed me!” Mark cried desperately, leaning against the kitchen counter. “He has to know that and I don’t think he does.” Amy feels for Mark, she does. She knows it wasn’t his fault, but it still hurts. It’s the pain that leads Amy to protect Ethan above everyone else. The pain he must be feeling right now, Amy tears up thinking about how hurt he must be. She turns, “just leave him alone. Let him come to you.” She then saunters off, keys in hand. The last thing he needs is Mark at his doorstep. 
Ethan sits curled on the couch, his knees brought up to his chest. He has so many questions, and he’s too damn afraid to find out the answers. How long has that been going on? How long have you been into Mark? Was your entire relationship a lie? Were you just trying to get closer to Mark? Why didn’t Mark tell him? He should have seen it coming, why would anyone choose him when he’s friends with Mark? Pretending to love him gave you the perfect opportunity to get closer to Mark. The numbness of this entire week is what Ethan was the most surprised by, he expected to cry, to scream, to break everything in sight. But he didn’t- he sat and he did nothing. Said nothing. Went nowhere, he barely even ate. 
Everything about that night replays in Ethan’s mind. It was a late shooting for Unus Annus, and you’d usually tagged along. That never bothered Ethan before. It should have. 
You had participated in a drinking video for Unus Annus, since Mark couldn’t drink. You didn’t want Ethan to be drunk alone, and that’s how you found yourself in the predicament you were in now. You were in Mark and Amy’s spare bedroom, the room swaying slightly. The headache you’d had earlier was slowly ebbing away, the alcohol and the dark room helping. The door opened, someone had said they’d bring you some Advil. Through the darkness you slid your hands onto Ethan’s shoulders, he said nothing but you felt him stiffen as you did so. You giggled drunkenly when you felt him try to pry your hands off him. Why was he being so shy? 
“Eef c’mon,” You sighed as you pressed your body against his. You wound your hands through his dark hair, and he only pulled away further. “Uh- I-I’m, well I’m not-” He was stammering, normally you never caught him so off-guard with your affection. His hands were firmly on your waist, and you could have sworn he was trying to push you away. Your brain felt hazy as you leaned into him, your lips planting firmly on his. He went completely stiff, what’s the matter with Ethan tonight? The light flicks on in the next second and you pull away from Ethan, your eyes squinting in the bright light. 
“What the hell?” You hear Ethan say softly, his voice distant and wrought with an emotion you couldn’t identify. You looked up at the man you were pressed against and your eyebrows furrowed as you locked eyes with...Mark. “Mark.” You’d meant it to sound like a question but you’re pretty sure it sounded like a statement. You swayed back drunkenly, causing Mark’s hands to fly out and steady you. 
“Ethan-” Mark started worriedly as Ethan turned out of the spare bedroom. 
“Were you Mark this whole time?” You slur, watching the panic settle in Mark’s eyes. “Where’s Ethan?” You ask again, pulling away from Mark. This all felt like some vivid hallucination. You collapsed onto the bed, your body heavy with exhaustion. You’re barely conscious when you hear Amy call Ethan’s name, seconds before the front door slammed. 
You were drunk, you didn’t mean it. That’s what Ethan keeps saying over and over, yet he doesn’t really believe it. A few stray tears cascade down Ethan’s cheeks when he hears banging on the front door. He wished whoever it was would go away, but still he drug himself to the front door and looked through the peephole. 
Mark. 
He’d been dodging Mark’s attempts to contact him for a week now, and Ethan knew he wouldn’t be able to avoid Mark forever. So he opened the door, to find a slightly panicked, slightly relieved Mark standing in front of him. Ethan stood in the doorway, keeping the door against his side. Mark wrung his hands together as he searched for the words to say. “Can I come in?” It’s all he can think of- he just wants a chance to explain himself. Ethan nods curtly, opening the door for Mark to enter. 
“What do you want?” Ethan asks, trying his best to keep himself physically and emotionally distant from Mark. Mark stood in the doorway, feeling emotion steadily rising in his chest once more. “I-I had no idea she would kiss me! I was just bringing her Advil, she was really drunk Ethan, she didn’t even know it was me. She thought it was you! She even said your name, it was dark in there!” Mark huffs in one breath and Ethan doesn’t know how to respond. He nodded before turning to lean against the couch. 
“Honestly I don’t care how it happened Mark, that doesn’t change anything. It still happened regardless, and knowing why doesn’t make it hurt any less.” Ethan says, his voice soft. Ethan never thought of himself as cynical, but right now he felt like all the color was draining out of the world. The betrayal he feels almost feels as though it’s been branded onto him. Something he will never be able to leave behind, no matter what happens in the future, he’ll never be able to forget that this happened. 
“I’m sorry Ethan, I- I didn’t mean for this to happen.” Mark says again, feeling panic growing in his chest. Ethan nods as he rubs a hand down his face. He turns to Mark, he wants to forgive Mark. His friendship is too valuable to Ethan to lose. He reaches out for Mark and wraps his arms around him, and he feels Mark release a breath. “I’m so- so sorry.” Ethan wraps his arms around Mark tighter, “I know.” 
Forgiving Mark felt good, it brought Ethan some respite through the hardest time in his life. But another week had passed and he still couldn’t bring himself to answer your texts or calls, or open the door when you came by. He didn’t know how he could be around you without feeling all the pain come rushing back in. You kissed Mark. But he gave Mark a chance, and he knew sooner or later he’d have to give you a chance too. That’s why he texted you, and told you to come over. Ethan felt his palms sweating, it was like he couldn’t even breathe. The seconds seemed to tick by so slowly, and while he was still so angry and hurt... he couldn’t deny how excited he was to see you again. 
When the doorbell rang, it was almost embarrassing how quickly Ethan was answering the door. You carefully made your inside and for a few minutes you and Ethan did nothing other than stare at each other. In an instant Ethan had reached forward and brought his lips to yours. He knew he’d never be able to trust you again, he knew the relationship was over. But before you go, he needs to feel you around him one more time. He needs to feel your skin against his. You melt into him, your lips moving with his as Ethan’s hand slide down your back to your legs. He tugs on your legs, signaling you to jump. Offering a little jump, Ethan wraps your legs around his waist as he presses you against the nearest wall. 
You moan softly as Ethan trails desperate kisses down the column of your neck, his hands resting firmly on your ass. His movements are quick, almost desperate as he gently grinds against you. You moan again as your hands tangle in his hair, this wasn’t what you were expecting when he asked you to come over. You missed him, you missed this. Ethan’s lips trail back up to yours as he keeps turns and leans you down against the couch. His hands dance down your body to the waistband of your leggings, quickly yanking them down your body. “God Ethan I missed you.” You moaned, and for a second Ethan almost forgets. He almost forgets what you did. He nearly lost himself in the tender suppleness of your skin. Ethan nearly lost himself in the heat coming from between your legs.  
Ethan doesn’t respond as his hand delves between your legs. His fingers dancing between your folds as you desperately fumble with the buckle of his belt. Eventually you pull it through the loops, already helping him unbutton his jeans as he leans over you again. He’s going to miss your skin against his, among so many other more meaningful things. He’s going to miss how your nose scrunches up when you laugh, or how you would play with his hair when he was stressed. Most of all he’s going to miss how safe he felt when he was with you, he’ll never feel like that with you again. You destroyed any sense of security he ever felt with you the second you pressed your lips against Mark’s. Once his jeans were around his ankles, Ethan kicked them off before slowly pressing his head into you. 
He pulls you up against his chest, his head pressed into your neck as he slowly slides into you inch by inch. You hold desperately to him, moaning softly against his clothed shoulder as he gently stretches you open. You wind your legs around his waist as he slides out slowly before bottoming out again. Ethan sets a slow and steady pace, his breath fanning against your neck and your eyes are screwed shut as Ethan slowly pushes into you again and again. The pleasure building inside you is overwhelming and soon you’re panting against Ethan as he picks up his pace only slightly. Ethan drives into you again and again until you feel that winding coil inside you snap and you cum hard around him. Ethan offers a few more forceful thrusts before cumming into you, thank god for birth control.  
Ethan is silent after he pulls out, and there’s a somber look on his face. You try to reach up to cup his cheek in your palm but he turns away from you. You lean up on your elbows, watching as he pulls his jeans back up. “I can’t trust you. Maybe it’s selfish of me but I just needed to feel you one last time.” Your eyebrows furrow together as your heart breaks in your chest. Is Ethan...breaking up with you? You quickly pull your leggings up, “Ethan...I’m sorry I am.” 
“I know, but I can’t be in a relationship with no trust.” He says finally, his tone firm. You feel tears in your eyes as you stand. 
“But I love you.” You whisper and Ethan turns to you with tears in his eyes. 
“I love you, but I can’t do this.” He says again, before turning and heading up the stairs, taking your heart with him as he goes.

Right now Ricky is clinging onto the safety feeling
And Nini JUST said she didn’t want to be ‘safe’
Im glad he told her about the insta comment
Are they….are they actually breaking up now?
Alright this is probably the best way they both could’ve ended things
A mutual, understanding, emotion filled break up with no hard feelings
That’s gonna help both of them in the future I think
Assuming the writers don’t throw them back together at the end of the episode
9
My heart does go out to them tho :/
Howie does have a very nice voice

Ok we got all the ships in this song
Except for Rini
If this is foreshadowing im very content
Awwww ricky ☹
Beautiful Howie
I loved that so much
Great voice
Great ending to an episode
--
Did I actually keep track of how many times Ricky said “Nini” in this episode? Yes, yes I did. It helped me stay more focused ironically enough. Luckily half of those were in conversation with Nini so that wasn’t awful lmao.
So I was right about Rip Rini. Incredible. Hopefully they stay broken up for a while and focus on themselves. RICKERAPY CAN FINALLY SHINE!!!!!
Also, EJ likes Gina confirmed? Portwell nation, how we feelin today?

Unus Annus Theory
I’ll try to keep this as organized as possible. The numbers go along with my codes masterpost (linked at the bottom and also in my pinned post). They’re basically to serve as a reference. 
Keep in mind that this is my theory, and it likely is not completely correct, if at all correct. I’m absolutely open to discuss ideas, so feel free to reply to this with your own thoughts. Don’t be afraid to ask for me to elaborate on something if it feels confusing. 
Unus Annus from the very beginning was, and has been all this time, a simulation. Mark, Ethan, the editors, possibly Amy and Evan (I’m not 100% sure on those two yet, or at least Amy), are all dead, or at least in some sort of comatose state. Their consciousnesses have all been transferred into the simulation by whoever is running it. (8)
(For the rest of this post, I will refer to the “machine” a lot. The machine is what the simulation runs on. I will also use it to refer to the person running the machine. I do not believe the machine itself has a consciousness.)
Marcus (nerdfiction) began to slowly realize that he was trapped in some sort of simulation in March (1), while everyone else remained unaware. He took some time, probably to question the state of his own reality, before he decided to test something. 
He sent out a few different codes to us, the viewers (2 + 4). While doing this, he began to contemplate his own mortality. And, more importantly, he began to wonder about the master of the clock (3). 
His test works. We receive his message. (5) 
It was at this point that he started his mission to stop the clock and take down the machine (indicated by his twitter bio). After four weeks, he realizes his attempts are failing (6). But he doesn’t give up. He tries again, and has a small bit of success, only to realize that he still has not escaped (7). 
(This next part here is a bit of a reach, but I think it may hold at least some sort of truth). Marcus continues to work against the machine, trying to bring it down from the inside. He eventually makes a bit of progress, causing a small break in the simulation. This is what triggers the “cinematic scenes” that were in a few of the videos in August. In one of them, we see someone else watching what’s happening. Observing from the outside. I believe this to be the person running the machine, noticing that something is wrong. That something broke.
The machine finds out what Marcus is doing. It finds out that he’s trying to destroy everything, and it can’t let that happen. It does something to him, almost like paralyzing him (or maybe it just straight up paralyzes him who knows), stopping him from sending out any more messages for about a month. (indicated by 10) 
Marcus somehow breaks free, and retaliates by doing the same. I’m not exactly sure how, but I believe he froze the machine in some way (as it froze him), stopping it from interfering (10). He does this during the flashing montage in “Learning To Use The Force”, indicated by the “STOPWHATAREYOUDOING” and the later “it worked” (see 9). 
Diceroll (I don’t actually know his name so I’ll just refer to him as Diceroll for the time being) and Rachel (Rad_R) end up also realizing that they’re in a simulation, and join Marcus in the fight. (11)
With their combined efforts, they actually manage to reverse the clock for a single second. But it’s futile. It doesn’t work. The machine shuts it down and fixes the clock. And now it’s mad. Real f*cking mad. (13)
The machine goes after them. They have to escape. I believe Marcus tries to hold it back so the other two can flee, but it doesn’t work. The machine gets them. Marcus escapes, but he escapes alone. (14)
Other Things
I believe that everyone in the simulation is dead, and I think the person running the simulation killed them (or at least brutally tortured them), indicated by the scenes and imagery in the flashing montage in “Learning To Use The Force”. 
I think this here: 
Tumblr media
is the office of the person running the machine, and I think the actual machine itself is the computers on the desk, which run the simulation. 
It’s possibly a bit of a stretch, but I wonder if there’s a link between the code in “The Unus Annus Annual Costume Contest” and this image here:
Tumblr media
(brightened version of the original)
It fits the idea of running away from something while searching for a way out. 
As for who’s running the machine, I’m not honestly sure. My only guess would be Amy, seeing as she’s always the mastermind behind everything. But that’s not really any evidence. 
... but hey, that’s just a theory. 
Link to my masterlist of all UA codes
EDIT: none of it’s true i’m just as clueless as the rest of you

Alea Iacta Est Ch. 1: Blue Soul Bound
Summary: You can run from consequences, but you can’t hide from them.
A/N: For Dark’s birthday. Title means “the die is cast” in Latin.
Chapters: 1, 2, 3
The instant Dark’s visitors were gone, and everyone had settled down for bed, Dark got out of bed and headed into his office and began pouring over the various scrolls and books he’d collected over the years.
Eventually, through the deep, piercing pain, Dark found the scroll he needed and used it to be able to amplify his ability to search his own aura. It used to feel as vast as the ocean, but now he felt diminished. Dark could still afford to get into fights and open dozens of portals to deal with the heroes, but it would be years before he was at his old strength.
Dark sat in his chair and turned his soul and his mind inward. It was a cold winter forest and a single wood cabin in the woods. Snow occasionally drifted down in a light flurry. The light was on in the canon and the crest of the Doom family erected over the door.
The Entity walked up to the door and his red soul was the one who threw it open and glared at him, shotgun in hand
“No,” she ordered firmly.
“If I couldn’t consume him after fifty years, I can’t do it now,” Dark reminded her with a light hiss in his voice.
It took her a while before she finally stepped aside and let Dark in, his blue soul was sitting by the fire, shivering under a blanket.
“What did you do?” His red soul demanded.
“I did nothing,” Dark defended himself heatedly. “It was the hunters and that infernal spell. I am trying to fix it.”
“You better,” she spat.
Dark scoffed angrily, before walking around to look his blue soul in the eyes, the weakened soul was not meeting him in the eyes.
“Hmmm,” his blue soul whimpered in pain.
“How bad is it?” Dark asked.
The soul didn’t answer.
“Are you trying to split off?” Dark demanded.
“Where would I go?” His blue soul asked morosely.
“I don’t want to hurt you if I don’t have to,” Dark told his blue soul. “But you tend to make things difficult.”
“Is Wil happy?” The soul asked. “Is Illy happy?”
Dark wasn’t 100% sure but he replied, “Yes. How aware are you of what they’re doing?”
The soul shrugged.
“Illinois is getting married in September, I’ll try and make sure you can see it,” Dark promised him.
“My baby,” the blue soul thought out loud, looking at the fire.
Looking back at his red soul, Dark saw the worry on her face.
“Damien, I think you need to go to sleep,” Dark’s red soul told him.
Dark and his red soul got the blue soul to go to sleep and Dark began drawing spells on the walls with magic, making sure that as much of his souls stayed intact. Then he emerged from his own magic and decided he was tired and went back up to his bed. Wil was still snoring in his sleep and seemed none the wiser of Dark’s absence.
Unlike most times, Dark didn’t have trouble forcing himself to sleep. He hadn’t even been planning on really sleeping, as a fully matured demon he could choose whether he was going to actually sleep or not. It required a body — which Dark had — but Dark could either go the rest of his existence without sleeping, or give the body he was in an actual rest.
He meant to rest with his eyes open, to make sure his souls were actually healing. But when his head hit the pillow, he blinked and was suddenly asleep in peaceful silence for a few hours.
Then he started dreaming.
The Entity rarely had dreams but tonight he was walking through the halls of the Manor, children’s laughter coming from somewhere.
Directly in front of him was an old grandfather clock. It wasn’t ticking and the hands on the face of the clock weren’t moving.
He was about to get up and move, but then a thick grey fog rolled in around him and he felt three sets of small hands grab onto him.
And pain sliced through him, Dark awakened in an instant and in such absolute pain that it paralyzed him. His souls were screaming and the Entity felt absolute panic as he tried to hold onto his red and blue souls.
Then Dark felt something in his souls give and he screamed as part of his aura shot off of him, turning from a deep black-purple to three swirls of black and white that fell towards the end of the bed.
Dark stayed in paralyzing pain for a couple more seconds as he frantically checked on his twin souls. They were none the worse for wear, Dark’s aura shielding them from most of the damage. So he wasn’t in as bad of shape as he feared. After a couple steadying breaths, Dark shoved himself up with his aura.
He knew what they were without even checking. They were spawnlings, but Dark already had too many to manage. He was already trying to recover from the attack from the hunters. These were three newborn spawnlings that would be ravenous, and Dark and King were already working to get Lunky to feed less.
They weren’t even sentient yet, all he had to do was make it—
“Darkling?” Wil sat up and Dark’s aura froze, halfway across the bed to the three spawnlings. “Are you okay? I heard a scream?”
The little spirals spun out into clouds of aura. One was mostly dark with specks of swirling white, another a perfect mix of black and white, and the one still the closest to Dark was white with flecks of black.
“Hello,” Wil greeted, his aura naturally diffusing in the room and to Dark it was like a calming balm for his wounded aura. “When did you three get here?”
Wilford pulled the little clouds, each of them currently half the size of Wil’s forearm. They sat in his lap and Dark hesitated in taking them from Wil. His blue soul had been roused from his slumber from the pain and the sight of spawnlings in Wil’s arms.
That, and just being in Wil’s aura was already making them swell in size. They were only an inch bigger but they were almost to a point where Dark would have to kill them to reabsorb them.
So he had a choice . . .
Fuck! Dark mentally cursed as Wil chuckled.
“Aren’t they delightful?” Wil smiled at Dark.
“아빠![1] Wil!” A knock came at the door and Dark snapped his fingers and made sure Wil was fully dressed.
“What’s wrong, Illinois?” Dark called out.
The door opened hesitantly and Illinois walked in. “You tell me, I heard a—”
Illinois froze at the sight of the swirling aura in Wil’s arms. “—a . . . a scream.”
“Come meet your new siblings, Illy,” Wil smiled.
Illinois froze and suddenly every part of Dark’s being was on edge. Illinois closed his eyes and let out a frustrated breath before walking over. “That explains the scream, everyone okay?”
“I’ll heal,” Dark dismissed. “It does explain why my aura has been out of sorts.
Illinois spent a second or two looking at the new spawnlings before walking around the bed to where Dark was still sitting, Illinois’s aura unfurled out towards Dark and the Entity hesitated.
“I,” Dark fought not to reach out to the offering. “I’m fine.”
Illinois knelt down and looked Dark in the eyes, “You and I both know that’s not true. You’ve been hiding your aura from us and you almost died. You need it.”
Dark flinched, another denial caught in his throat, frozen by the look in Illinois’s eyes. His blue soul was churning with conflicting emotions: the urge to still try and look invincible, despite wanting to give Illinois what he was asking for.
“By Joe, my dear, if you weren’t feeling well, you only had to say so,” Wil leaned in and his aura tangled with Dark which sent a shiver down Dark’s spine at the sudden rush.
He felt lightheaded and suddenly he was on his back and Illinois was pulling out amulets filled with aura.
“Dad?” Illinois asked in concern.
Dark’s vision was spinning and all he could see was Illinois. Wil leaning over soon after.
“I’ll get him some tea,” Wil decided.
“Get him something not warm, it’s a thousand degrees right now,” Illinois ordered.
“Right, right,” Wil agreed, and suddenly he was gone.
“I can get up,” Dark promised despite the vertigo.
Illinois placed a hand on the center of his chest to keep him pinned down, “No, you shouldn’t, stay down. You look like you’re going to vomit.”
“I’ll be fine, I just need to get back on my feet,” Dark told him, internally he was screaming. Dark couldn’t afford to be seen like this, not so soon after being knocked out like he had been by the hunters.
“Dammit, Dad, stay down, let us take care of you for once,” Illinois grumbled. “I know for a fact that after demons split they aren’t good to act like nothing happened.”
Dark tried to fight the exhaustion and humiliation he felt, but when Wil came back in, the little clouds of aura following him, Dark felt Wil’s aura fueling his own recovery.
As Dark was drifting off he heard Wil and Illinois talking.
“It’s so stuffy in here, let me get the window,” Wilford offered and strolled over to the bedroom window.
“Maybe you shouldn’t,” Illinois warned as Dark drifted off to sleep.
But Wilford was at the window in an instant and the second the window was open, the darker cloud of aura shot off and the other two clouds followed.
Wil just braced his hands on the window, stalling as Illinois glared at the back of his head.
“One second,” Illinois told him firmly, not wanting to scream and wake up Dark. “He is out for one second and you lose a trio of newborns.”
“I’ll go find them,” Wil began to climb out of the third-floor window.
“No,” Illinois told him.
Wil brought his foot back in.
“You are staying here, Dad needs the aura. I’ll go find them hopefully before he wakes up, I’ll call the Host,” Illinois pointed to Dark as he stood up and walked over to close the window.
“Right,” Wil agreed and Illinois gave a last parting look to Dark before racing out of the bedroom and getting ready to track down the spawnling trio.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Post A/N: Okay so, I know I said somewhere that I didn’t plan on using Unus and Annus in my stories but honestly the fan art of them with the other egos is so cool and I just couldn’t help myself.

So, since it’s ending tomorrow I feel like I should talk about my tumultuous feelings around Unus Annus.l:
... When the channel was first announced and everything, I was pretty panicked by it.
I have severe existential anxiety and nothing I have ever done to help myself with those problems has ever actually helped.
I’m paralysed by my fear of change, my fear of losing those I love.
The inevitability of it all just...
I very rarely do anything in my day to day life other than lay in bed and try to distract myself.
I’m so terrified of things ending that I don’t know how to engage in life.
I tried... I tried really hard to spin Unus Annus into something motivating for me.
I wanted to finally start my own YouTube channel.
I wanted to make a tumblr post every day.
Or write something every day.
I didn’t do any of it.
I’m aware that many of the issues I’m being open about are things I need to see a therapist for.
But therapy is expensive so it will have to wait.
And speaking of therapy...
I saw, have seen, the suicide pact posts.
I know there are many people out there who want to use Unus Annus ending as their “date” to kill themselves.
I’m not a therapist and I don’t know the right combination of words that would help you.
I know how bad depression gets though.
And all I can say is, from one depressed person to another, if you’re looking for a sign not to kill yourself, this is that sign.
Please don’t.
If not for yourself, if you’re not there yet, then don’t do it because Mark and Ethan would be deveststed.
That was never their intention when starting the channel.
I don’t know, for sure, what their intentions were, when starting the channel.
But I know people dying in their name was never an intention of theirs.
I think at least one of their intentions was to have fun.
To inspire.
To live.
That is the other side of the coin you know.
Memento Mori always came with Memento Vivere:
Remember You Must Live. 
And I know that my paralysis was never their intention either.
But I still feel like I should talk about it, both for myself and for anyone who is feeling similarly.
I lost my grandpa shortly before Unus Annus began.
And this year... 2020... it seems to have been a year of loss.
I lost my doggy this October.
I don’t think I’ve processed either of these losses.
I know many others have lost so much more.
And I live in fear of losing my grandma.
She’s taken care of me since I was an infant, and she’s the only person in my immediate family who really understands me.
She’s one of my best friends and I really don’t know what I’ll do without her.
I don’t know where I will go. How I will survive.
I’m trying to learn. Trying to learn to let go, to remember to live despite knowing that death is inevitable.
And honestly, mock me if you want to I guess, but I believe in spirits and an after life and everything.
(I’m pagan and have had actual ghost encounters)
But it still hurts.
It’s still bone chillingly painful.
Missing someone.... it’s an ache that hurts even if you’re sure you will see them once again.
There are Unus Annus videos I never watched, never will watch, I guess, because I had severe panic attacks when trying.
I want to spend the most time I can with those who matter to me, and yet there are aspects of life I’ve had to remove myself from.
And Unus Annus has honestly made many of my... anxieties worse.
It’s pointed out my .... shortcomings? and continued to stay there, like a gaping wound, a hole in my heart.
And I wish I could say I’m not mad at Mark and Eef, but honestly there’s a small part of me that is.
It’s that same part of me that is mad at the universe for giving us the beauty of life and taking it away with death.
But... pointing it out doesn’t really make it Mark or Ethan’s fault.
And I’m so much more happy and grateful of what they’ve shared with us.
They could have just set the cameras down and had all their adventures to themselves.
But they brought us along for the ride.
And as much as I hate that it has to go.... I’m glad I got to see what I did of it. 
I know it’s “just a YouTube channel” but I also know it’s not at all.
It’s an allegory, a metaphor or what have you. It’s saying hey, go live your life because you never know when that life will stop.
And it’s obvious by the sheer amount of people that they have inspired that they didn’t miss their mark at all.
The hit the nail right on the head.
I just wasn’t their target to begin with.
And that’s okay. Like I said, therapy is obviously a better option for me.
But it is.... heartbreaking that depression and anxiety have.... robbed me of engaging with both their channel and my own life, friends, family and pets.
I have watched Unus Annus videos from the start, all the ones that I could without panicking, and I loved them but I always held it at arms length.
“Don’t get to close, it’ll leave you too soon”
And that’s what I do in general. What I’ve done since I was a very small child.
And I am talking about this now mostly just to really get my feelings down, but also to reach out to those who feel like me, to those who feel like they aren’t coping with the end of this channel.
It’s okay to not be coping. It’s okay to not be able to let go.
Just... keep trying to engage with life. We Weill be able to one day. We will get there, one day. And we’ll be glad we kept trying.
🖤🤍🖤

hello friends i'm back from the dead i deleted tumblr for a while bc i just wasn't using it but now that i'm here to cry about unus annus with a relatively larger group of people i figured i'd share some new ✨interests✨ of mine that have developed during covid
are yall ready for an absolute unit of a brain dump NOPE BUT HERE I GO
i have become an up and coming theatre nerd and no one can stop me
no i'm not british i just like that spelling so much better "theater" ew the fuck
my current favs are six (k howard is my child), & juliet (miriam teak-lee is a goddess and no one can change my mind), anastasia (holy fuck dimya is the cutest thing ever), beetlejuice (compilations of bj being horny give me life), and yes like a month ago i finally watched hamilton for the first time and when i say IM IN LOVE
i have discovered that somehow i hate my family more than i did before which is uh slightly concerning
i have started learning a lot about myself and my triggers and oh yea it's very possible that i'm depressed and have cptsd but like haha i won't know that for sure for a couple years because my parents don't think mental health is actually important
also that would require me to tell someone other than my best friend out loud that my parents are abusive fucks and they would have to BE THERE and i'm not ready for that yet nope nope nopeity nope
uhhh what else
OH yea unus annus happened although that was before quarantine but oh well
i fell asleep the last three hours of the livestream yesterday and i MISSED IT i'm so angry at my inability to function on no sleep
seriously like i'm exhausted 24/7 like i could take a nap at any time and it still wouldn't be enough
my eyes literally couldn't stay open yesterday at like 11:30 (est) and whenever ethan or mark would yell i would jump up be like WAH WHAT WHATS HAPPENING
and i had to get up early this morning anyway so i told my friend (we were on facetime) to just recap me in the morning and accepted my fate into the beautiful world of sleep
also no one cares but my birthday video was ethan redefines male beauty and its honest to god one of my favorites
amy was 100% right it was just like "oops all bangers"
another favorite would be the trolley problem like them trying to read the one with your dick stuck in the rails killed me
but anyway
i redid my room this summer! it's a beachy boi now and i love it so much
some trauma came with that but honestly i can't do anything without trauma anymore so i've just kind of accepted it
i've also been really stressed about ya know our ✨government✨ lately bc trump is a pos and i've been seeing all this shit that's like "he's attempting a coup" and i'm like the FUCK is that
honestly i'm terrified to look it up which is why i still don't know what it is
also hardcore trumpies scare me
yea i said it
ummmmm brainfart
i zoned out for FIVE SECONDS and i forget what i was gonna say
welcome to my whole life guys
my dog is still really cute
she turns 10 soon
and i love her but i REALLY want a cat
like really bad
like i love cats so much and they don't seem to hate me so i'll take it
I DIED MY HAIR IM HALF BLONDE NOW AND I WASNT BEFORE
I ALSO GOT MY BRACES OFF THANK FUCK
you know what's funny
i only got tumblr back bc they kept emailing me
you wanna know why
because porn bots keep following me
LIKE WHATTT LMAOOO
like i get it i radiate sex appeal but i'm underage bro that's illegal
i'm gonna stop while i'm ahead and take time to praise our lord and savior john mulaney who i'm still convinced is immortal and will in fact be the muleaney

Author Interview Tag
Thanks to @bitter-bees for tagging me!
Name: I usually go by Gay or Grump as a reference to my most recent previous username but I think I want to go by Dusk online but idk, let me know if that vibes or not lol.
Fandoms: I write for Irondad but am open to writing for other fandoms, like She-Ra or BotW (but I'm not like super knowledgeable about all the zelda lore so just the BotW version for now lol) I write my ocs which are marvelsonas and also independent from fandoms depending on what I want to write, If you want to ask me if I'll write for a certain fandom just let me know.
Where you post: AO3 as Sciencelings and on here @sciencelings-writes
Most popular one-shot: "Fine, I'll do it Myself" which is an infinity war divergence where Peter lives and Tony gets dusted and that's all the spoilers you're getting lol. It has 6,822 Hits and 552 kudos at the moment of writing this.
Most popular multi-chapter fic: My first, my baby, my big boy, "Peter Parker's Adventure Through Time and Space" where a lot of crazy shit happens. It's very crossovery and explores a bunch of 'what if's' of the marvel universe and might get a sequel who knows... it has 67,526 Hits and 2222 kudos.
Favorite story you’ve written so far: Honestly... I'm not sure. I had a lot of fun and interacted with so many people during the writing of PPATTAS, but it was a weird one, I loved writing my fantasy AU WIP "The Tales of Lord Anthony Stark and the Children of Iron" but I got like no interactions with it and it killed my drive hardcore. I'm also super excited for "Cut From the Same Cloth" which is a 5+1 irondad parallels fic where other characters compare them to each other because duh of course. I'm still writing it but I've had writers block for most of the pandemic so... uh... sorry.
Fic you were nervous to post: Probably the start of my OC centric fics, they haven't interacted with canon characters yet but I have never had such drive to write despite the lack of attention I'd get for it with any of my irondad fics. Usually I thrive off of interaction and those fics gave me none and I knew that they would give me none but I had so much fun writing them.  
How you choose your titles: Usually I have an idea of the title, some phrase that I randomly think of during or after writing and if I can't think of something I go for a song lyric that really vibes with the fic or that you read and immediately sing that part in your head.
Do you outline: Yes, I have a whole notebook for it. But I usually don't outline oneshots or smaller fics but I like to outline longer ones so I can build it up the way that I want to.
Complete: 14/21 fics, I have a lot of fics that I meant to write more of or that are just a collection of drabbles and that kind of thing, some fics however have died and I do not know how to revive them even if I had the motivation to whoops.
In progress: Currently being worked on actively is "Cut From the Same Cloth", the Fantasy AU with a long ass name, my superhero school AU, the Sequel to PPATTAS, an irondad platonic soulmate au, the Unus Annus (youtuber) AU, The Irondad Villain AU, and yet another endgame fix it.  
Coming soon/not yet started: Most of the above tbh, they're all at varying degrees of "In Progress"
Do you accept prompts: Yes please! however I do reserve the right to not write everything I'm given, I will try to though.  
Upcoming story you are most excited to write: UNUS ANNUS AU, the channel that it's based on will be dead and deleted in a week and I really want to get a chapter or two out before then since the ideas from it are so varied, like there's potential for humor and fluff and angst and full on whump and it's perfect inspiration for me.
tagging: I guess anyone that sees this and wants to do it, I officially tag you, I love you, I know you don’t get tagged in a lot of things so this is for you

Tumblr media
Well, this was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. I mean, it's got a solid supporting cast: Kay Kay Menon, Anupam Kher, Annu Kapoor; plus Manjari Fadnis (second time this week, after watching Nirdosh earlier) and Maniesh Paul (who wasn't bad in Mickey Virus, if I remember correctly).
To some extent, it sort of reminds me of Aagey Se Right - which is a good thing, I think, because I love that movie. And while this movie has some ridiculousness that goes a bit much, and a lack of Shreyas Talpade, it actually is probably equally fun I think.
The songs are alright, though maybe a bit slow/off for this story, but the pace of the story is good and keeps things going. And honestly, Kay Kay Menon is awesome and seeing him again after so long just made me smile. Especially in this slightly more light-hearted role.
Anupam Kher transitioning between 2 characters was great, and the scene where he played action hero was pretty fun. And then Annu Kapoor one-ups him by switching between 2 roles in the same scene - and he did it masterfully.
See, here you have a bunch of characters that aren't "geniuses," but still figure things out in their lives - and without being total harassing creeps, no less! There's a love story that sort of takes a back seat (unfortunately for Manjari, since that's really her thing here), and a sort-of wild goose chase that spans the movie as all the stories start merging together. And while our protagonist is forced into the 'family business' of 'contract killing,' at no point do you hate the person he is - further proof that making your character a 'patriotic genius' isn't necessary to make us root for him. It's the whole character, not just a two-word description. In fact, the 'worst' of the characters here (probably first-half Annu Kapoor, who just grates a bit as the unapproving father, especially in that painting class scene) is still miles better than any character in Genius.
Okay. I really, really enjoyed this movie - even more as I think about it now. It's not in my Bollywood top-5 for 2018 - but that's more because 2018 had a bunch of really good movies. If it had come out last year or the year before, it'd probably be in my top-3. That's how much I enjoyed it.
As ridiculous as it might be, it had fun with the story it was trying to tell and it gave us some solid actors to bring it all together. Like Aagey Se Right, this one will be joining my 'repeat watch' list, just because of how much fun it makes the ridiculous ride they put us on.

Mariposa x Haku: S-Support + Event 3
In collaboration with: @xianha
@fe-exire
[Event: Annus Novus]
Haku: *walks into Mariposa's office* Hey you busy today?
Mariposa: *leaning back in her chair, looks tired* No, it’s a festival day. *yawns* I need to get you a calendar I swear. Why? *turns to him*
Haku: Wait, it’s a festival again??? Which is it this time?
Mariposa: *looks at him dumbfounded then chuckles* Annus Novus Haku~ *stands up and walks over to him* You know, when people get to punish their masters and act a little more risque~ Kinda why there's a party downstairs at the HQ lobby. Or did you just think that was a HUGE birthday party?
Haku: Probably...wait WHAT?
Mariposa: *laughs at his reaction* Honestly Haku! How can you be so oblivious sometimes? *leans on her side* So what did you come in for? Since it's obvious not to give me holiday wishes~
Haku: I don’t think a holiday like that existed.... Well I thought about what you said.
Mariposa: Oh! *stands up straight and smiles* So what's your answer?
Haku: I’ve decided to stay. For a while.
Mariposa: Oh?... *looks a little disappointed but accepts the answer* Well alright, but know that option is always open to you. *goes to her desk* What made you decide that though? *looks at him, expecting a good answer as she packs*
Haku: Because... I don’t think I’m done here. With you...or everyone else. There's a lot more I can learn here on the field than in any type of school can teach me. Plus, I don't want to be away from the people I care for.... and if I'm going to school, I rather earn my place there as I did here.
Mariposa: *dumbfounded* Haku... *can’t believe her ears, but chuckles* I swear, the things that come out of your mouth can amaze me sometimes. *covers her eyes, with a hand to her hip* I mean, most would jump at this chance and yet...- *uncovers her eyes* Is it weird to say that makes me happy?
Haku: Who knows? I just know, I don't really like to feel indebted to people. I want to earn my place here, even if it does mean scrapping by and getting my hands dirty.
Mariposa: Well I assure you- *walks up close to him* if you are getting anywhere in this network, it's because you earned it. *elbows him a little* You know Haku, for all I tease you for being soft, I actually really appreciate it. I know sometimes I can be... *teeters her hand* rough with targets that may not deserve it, so you being there makes for a good counter-balance. *blushes*
Mariposa: *scratching her cheek, embarrassed* And I just get happy seeing you every day. I mean... *looking up at him, as if judging whether or not to say something important*
Haku: Do you?... huh.... Never heard that one before. Although...most things people think about me, I try to ignore... or it goes over my head.
Mariposa: Well ignore what they say! *obviously getting mad again* And don't question what I say! Haku, if I say you make me happy it's because you do! And if I say you're amazing, it’s because you are! And damn it, even though you can be so thick-headed. I love you, and 50% of the time I’m not sure why! But I’m pretty sure part of it is just the fact your eyes are so pretty! And damnit, it’s not fair! *huffing from shouting so much, hasn't realized what she said*
Haku: Uhhhhhhhhhhhh............
Mariposa: What? You will get a fly in your mou- *realizes* .... *calculating the height of her window to the floor* ...
Haku: Are you gonna jump out that window?
Mariposa: ... I'm thinking about it. It's too tall. *dashes to her door but the lock is jammed* OF ALL THE DAYS!!!
Haku: If I were in your shoes I would do it... but don’t do it.
Mariposa: *frowns, too upset to think, and can't look at him* Is that... Is that all you're going to say? *covers her face* Look, can we just forget about this?... Please? *still fiddling with the door knob to unjam it*
Haku: Sure- *smiles* if that's what you want, I'll forget about it. Just for you. But it’s not something you should be ashamed of though.
Mariposa: *unjams the knob, then looks at him* I'm not ashamed. I just don't like rejection. *leaves*
Haku: .....rejection? ....HUH? DID I REJECT YOU? WHEN????!!!
[End of Event 3]
 Mariposa: *in a park, has been in a bad mood* Ugh.... Why can't I just forget about it? *munching on some cookies with coffee*
Haku: *calling over*- Heeeey!!! Mari!!!!! There you are!!!!
Mariposa: *nearly chokes on a cookie* !!! *patting her chest to help it pass* GAH! *looks at Haku* DONT SCARE ME LIKE THAT!
Haku: Oh!!! Sorry sorry!!! *bows* I was just running by and I saw you so I wanted to swing by here. Literally!
Mariposa: *sighs and looks at him, trying to look professional* You don’t need to bow, it's weird in this context.... or any really. *puts her meal down* So is this just greetings? *not looking him in the eye*
Haku: Yeah, I wanted to talk to you.
Mariposa: *thinking: Please don't be about the festival* ....Okay.
Haku: You’ve been awfully distant with me lately. ...Is something wrong?
Mariposa: No. *rubbing her ear, looking down* Just a product of business.
Haku: What do you mean? You weren’t always like this, heck you used to tease me to no end.
Mariposa: You didn't like being teased. *looks at his cape* And acting unprofessionally leads to issues... Besides, I thought I gave you a mission with Brandon? Did you finish? You should file your report then. *gets up*
Haku: Yeah I did, but now I wanted to talk to you. Come on, tell me what's wrong?? Did I do something wrong?
Mariposa: There's no- *sees his eyes and guilt rises* ... *bites her lip* Fine, but not here... Let's go somewhere... emptier.
Haku: ....Are you going to kill me when no one's watching?
Mariposa: *frowns and pulls his ear* I SWEAR YOU DON'T HAVE A CLUE! *drags him to a quiet area in the park, letting go of his ear* How should I... *sighs* How do I even start?...
Haku: Ow Ow Ow!!!! ...... well.... how about what’s on your mind?
Mariposa: *looks at him and smiles* Well first off, this would have all been a lot simpler if you had agreed to the schooling. Then I could have confessed properly. Made it more final and clean cut. *sighs* After all, then you wouldn't have been my employee.
Haku: Wait? What do you mean? I don't want to go to school cause I want to stay here. Heck, maybe I'll work towards a higher position!!! Wouldn't that be sweet?
Mariposa: Haku, that wasn't the point of your schooling. At least not fully. Look, I wanted you to go to school, because after you got in I planned to confess to you, properly. Because like this, it's dangerous and awkward. I'm selfish Haku, and if you had rejected me. To my face... I wouldn't have taken it well.
Mariposa: *bites her lips* And I wouldn’t have been sure that if you did accept my confession, that you meant it. Because I'm your boss, and hold too much power over you. Not to mention, with me you'd always be in danger! And I wouldn't be able to handle knowing that I had assigned you to your death. *covers her face*
Haku: Oh... wow.... that's a lot. Hm, alright give me a minute to process things. You.... like me?... .as in... like like.... but you... don’t want me to work for you anymore.... because... you.... like like ...... me?...
Mariposa: Yes. Also say love, we aren't children. *feels like he isn't taking it seriously*
Haku: There’s a reason I’m saying like like you know...
Mariposa: *looks to the side* Well whatever... *arms crossed, feels uncomfortable* I don't get why you care anyways. I mean, does any of this really matter to you anymore? I figured, after assigning you to... *eyes getting watery* Brandon, you'd just forget any of this happened. And I could move on. After all, he's the one you want, so what does it matter what happens between us?
Haku: Well because I care about you too remember?
Mariposa: ... *blushes* Cause we're friends? *biting back the bitterness* Fine then, but I still need time away from you. To heal...
Mariposa: So don't worry about it. *wants to smile to reassure him but can't*
Haku: What's there to heal though... You didn't get rejected.
Mariposa: What? *looks hurt* Did you come here to make it official or something?!
Haku: No, of course not. I'm not rejecting you... I accept your feelings wholeheartedly!
Mariposa: ... *silent, processing* Wait what?! But! huuuhhh???? *bright red, eyes tearing up* IF THIS IS ANOTHER TEASE-!
Haku: WHY WOULD I JOKE ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS?
Mariposa: I DON'T KNOW? THEN I MUST BE DEAD! Beause this makes no sense! *confused, checking her pulse*
Haku: ....Am I really that bad?.....
Mariposa: !!! *suddenly feels guilty* Well... I just... I just never thought you'd look at me that way. I mean you said it before. You love Brandon... And you were pretty persistent on keeping it that way.
Haku: I... I know. Still maybe lately... my feelings and admiration towards him. Are...probably an illusion... I mean. I know in the end, he probably won’t care about me as much as I would for him... and maybe... I was just...deluding myself from the truth. So I wouldn’t be disappointed in the end. But with you it’s... different..
Mariposa: *suspicious* Different? Different how? *frowning*
Haku: I mean... You don’t treat me as less as a human being now than before. I remember when I first joined, I was like a lapdog to you too.
Mariposa: *shrugs* Well, that's cause I didn't know you. Back then, you were just Ivan's "replacement". You weren't part of the network... the family. Sorry about that.
Haku: From what I've heard Ivan wasn't that close to you guys either when he was working there... Most of the agents feared him and I've heard some questionable rumors about him... so I just assumed that me replacing him would make them cautious.
Mariposa: Well yeah... The guy was just so twisted... But that's beside the point! What does that have to do with me being different? If anything, I'm surprised you don’t resent me for how I treated you back then.
Haku: Better than most people really and you changed.
Mariposa: ... *looking away* So is that what it is?... I'm just the better "option"? *sighs* ...That's not love Haku...
Haku: Better? You're the best one!! ...Jeez, now you’re the one who's being thick-headed. I like you too, I think you're amazing and I'm glad that you treat me like a human being!! There's a reason why I'm only saying “like like” now... It’s cause I want to genuinely tell you that I "love" you for the first time.
Mariposa: *immediately turns bright red, turning back to him in shock* !!!* speechless, with a face that looks both unsure, but happy* ... *bites her lip before speaking* Prove it. *staring at his eyes longingly then at his lips*
Haku: .....Prove it? ........ oh! Ohhhhhh ....oh okay... *coughs* Ahh, all this is new to me so ....I probably don't know what I'm doing for my first time so ... bear with me okay?.. *softly gives her a small kiss*.... like that?
Mariposa: *feeling her lips gently, looks super happy* ... *looks up at him then pulls him into a hug* That's fine...  For now. *chuckles as she buries her head into his chest*
Haku: Ahaha, alright alright. You can teach me along the way... *pats*
Mariposa: *looks up at him with a smirk, her confidence back* If you like I can teach you right now~ *uses his shoulders to push herself up, and grips her thighs to his waist so they are closer to eye level* And a lot more when we get back home~ If that's alright with you. *winks*
Haku: *very confused* Are you going to break me with your legs?
Mariposa: *chuckles* Noo~ But soon enough you might be breaking mine though~ *kisses him again*
Haku: Ahh? Wait WHAT????
