Also his personality here is based off my personal hcs for him!

-ˋˏ✄—Little Treasure, Little Heir

˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳ Licorice Cookie x Reader x Blue Coral Cookie

Pronouns: they/them

"Precious little treasure, beloved little heir."

.navigation. // .cookie run: kingdom masterlist.

By the shore, by the harbor and by the harsh sea stood a lone cookie on the planks that seperated them from the waters below. They could hear the crashing waves against the sand as they leaned on the fence that kept them from falling off the edge.

Times like these, as they watched the waves approach, they wondered if there would be a time that they would visit the pier again, and the waters would be calm.

Being a follower of Dark Enchantress gave them little to no time to wander the world as they dreamt of, though.

No matter, they thought, as the cold winds of the shore rushed past them.

"Where the hell is Licorice?" They asked themself. "He should be finished by now."

The accomplice they awaited for was somewhere in the harbour, the pier they waited in a safe distance away, hidden in rags that allowed him to sneak within the alleyway and pass by crowds unnoticed.

A sorcerer, a necromancer, whatever he really was. He reminded Y/n of the deeper depths of the sea. Where the sun does not see within the darkness, but they are wonders for you to find if you did.

Footsteps approached them, too calm and silent to be their boisterous friend. From the corner of their eye, they could catch the familiar look of a uniform only one of the sailors wore.

They did not turn until the stranger spoke.

"Hello there," greeted the man, his voice strikingly similar to the accomplice they waited for, but smoother, huskier with a slight accent and a hint of mischief.

They finally cast a glance at him. Dusty blue hair covering his eyes of the same color. He had his hands behind his back, head tilted in a curious manner as he leaned towards the fence a little, the slightest bit of stubble growing from beneath his grinning mouth.

"What's a precious little treasure like you doing 'round these parts?" He asked.

Blinking, Y/n sighed and turned away from the stranger. "That's not quite your business, sailor. What are you doing so far from the harbour and in an empty pier?"

"Ah, so the heir recognizes me."

"And the sailor has heard of me."

Chuckling, the sailor turned his back towards the harbour, leaning backwards on the fence beside Y/n as he took a glance at their focused face.

"It's too lovely a sight up here to be spending it alone."

Y/n hummed, eyes taking a short glance at his direction before returning to the sea. "Who are you? What do you want?"

"Aw, is it so bad to have a chat?"

"Not quite, but with one of Dark Enchantress' followers? Nonetheless her heir? It's a bit suspicious."

"The heir of Dark Enchantress being alone by the harbour in an empty pier is quite suspicious too, I'd say."

Y/n did not respond, and the sailor laughed.

He turned his gaze away from them, gaze on the wooden floor, and spoke. "The name's Blue Coral Cookie. And what may the heir's name be?"

Raising a brow, the heir turned towards him. "I thought you've heard of me?"

"Oh, I have. Everyone has. But, no one seems to actually know your name. They refer to you as Darkness' Heir, or something."

Scoffing, Y/n shook their head in disbelief, brushing back wind rustled hair. "Oh, how lovely. People fear me without actually knowing me."

"Are you saying you're not Darkness' Heir?"

Silent, Y/n thought of their response thoroughly.

And through that silence, Blue Coral glanced at them, at their narrowing eyes.

"Y/n Cookie. And...I'm not as 'evil' as my mother makes it seem. Or, not the heir she had wanted to make, honestly."

"So you're not evil?"

Y/n scoffed. "Excuse you, I'm plenty evil! Just not the way mother wants. And of course no one woupd believe me if I did say that."

Blue Coral stayed silent for a moment, before he hummed in thought. His eyes had never left the heir's narrowing ones. He tried to follow their train of thought, but their mind wandered farther than he ever had at sea.

"If it's any help, I'd say I believe you."

Their narrowed eyes turned to meet his hidden ones.

"Oh? And how so?"

With a tilt of his head, his bangs uncovered one dusty blue eye, and Blue Coral gave a small smile.

"There's a look in your eye," he said, as their gaze set on his. "Distant, but there. Like the setting horizon, where the sun meets the sea."

"Really now?" Y/n turned towards the horizon. "How poetic."

The sailor chuckled, smile growing once he saw the small grin that they failed to hide from him.

He turned around, copying their position. Crossed arms against the fence they leaned on, legs lightly bent beneath them.

"You look troubled, little treasure. Care to share stories with a companion?

"I met you a moment ago, sailor."

Giving out a hearty laugh, Blue Coral turned his gaze from the harbour towards the heir, whose eyes have never left the distant horizon. Oh, he noticed, that small smile never seemed to disappear too.

"Oh, come on. Is it still so bad to have a chat?"

"Not quite."

The two remained silent, but Blue Coral's eyes kept trained on the heir beside him, as their eyes drifted slightly lower from the horizon, and into the distant ocean.

"Do the waves remind you of something?" Blue Coral broke the silence.

Blinking once, twice, Y/n turned towards the male beside them.

His smile was gentler now, softer, reassuring perhaps, as his gaze never left them.

"Do they remind you?" He asked, breaking his stare only for a second to glance at the sea. "Do they remind you of something from a distant memory?"

"I don't know what you're..." Silenced by their own thoughts, Y/n turned back towards the sea. Towards the waves.

"Your eyes always seem so distant when you look at the ocean. Like when someone dreams of the past. But when you gaze at the horizon, when you see the setting sun, your eyes are...there."

"What do you mean?"

"Like you're looking for something within the ocean, like you're looking for the sun within it."

Y/n stayed silent for a moment.

"...Perhaps a peace?" They said, unsure of themself. "The ocean floor, where there is nothing to see me but the gentle gaze of the sun?"

"Look far too deep and it may not be there" Blue said. "Only a lingering darkness, and an eerie weight of the current."

Silence.

For just a moment.

Y/n sighed frustratedly, pulling at their hair. "No—this is so dumb. Why am I talking to a stranger? No, stop it, shut up Y/n—"

Before they could start pulling at their hair again, gentle, calloused hands grasped at their wrists, pulling their hands away.

Y/n glanced up at the sailor, his smile soft and eyes even softer.

"Maybe we don't have to be strangers," Blue Coral said with a smile. "You need a companion, little treasure. Someone other than the cookies of darkness. Perhaps a mere sailor in an empty pier?"

Pulling away, he prided himself in their darkening cheeks, even for just a little.

They shook their head, glancing to the side at the ocean, at the harbour, as they leaned backwards.

"You barely know me. I'll barely tell you anything more."

Blue Coral smiled, giving a hearty laugh. "Well, people have said I'm quite the deducer."

"Then you can probably deduce that it is your time to leave."

A new voice, familiar to Y/n's ears. Louder and harsher then Blue Coral's, with an evident irritated tone.

Glancing behind Blue Coral, Y/n could recognize the cloaked man whith a dagger glare trained on the sailor.

Blue Coral turned his head towards the male, but did not move an inch. He only smirked at the radiating jealousy in his stance.

"Oh, Licorice, there you are," greeted Y/n.

Pushing past the sailor, Licorice took a protective stand behind the heir, a hand discreetely holding their waist.

"Forgive me, little heir. Bat-Cat and Shwarzwälder kept me delayed for quite some time."

"It's alright. I had company."

Smirking wider, dusty blue eyes met irritated yellow from beneath his messy hair.

Before Licorice could retort at him, tell him to shoo or to leave them alone, Blue Coral spoke first, not giving him the satisfaction.

"Ah, well, I must be taking my leave, then. I have quite the expedition to look forward to."

Ignoring the necromancer, the sailor took a step forward towards Y/n and lightly bowed, grasping their hand and placing a gentle kiss upon their knuckles that lingered for a second.

He rose back up without letting go of their hand, only to take a discreet side glance at the fuming male beside them and the darkening heir's cheeks. He grinned, and gently let go of their hand.

"It was quite the pleasure meeting you, little treasure."

He gave a curt nod, before turning around and walking back into the harbour, raising his hand to give a lazy wave back at them.

"Can you BELIEVE him!?" Licorice pulled Y/n close to him, his hand never leaving their side. "The AUDACITY!"

"Licorice, calm down."

Busy rambling about the sailor, neither Licorice nor Y/n noticed the glance Blue Coral gave their way, a smile growing at his lips.

"Little treasure, huh? Has a nice right to it, doesn't it? Y/n, the little treasure."

He sighed ligthly to himself.

"That Licorice though..."

"Perhaps I have a little competition

horns — neuvillette x f!reader

a/n: i gotta work on wriothesley's

“papa!” your little girl coos, reaching out for her dad’s horns. her little hands hold them delicately as she kicks her legs and giggles.

she is so occupied by her dad that she notice you putting down a tray of her favorite cookies. you smile at her before leaning towards your husband.

“looks like someone else likes your horns as much as I do,” you tease neuvillette who’s busy smiling fondly at his little girl, before he looks up at you.

your arms are wrapped around his shoulders from behind. the hold you have on him is so comforting, so light and he can't help how his eyes soften and body further relaxes.

tenderness swim in his eyes, and he looks down at her again, “she looks just like you,” he sighs in contentment, “I couldn’t be happier.”

your heart clenches and you cup his face to press a gentle kiss to his cheek.

from the corner of your eyes, you notice your daughter repeatedly patting her head. a look of worry instantly appears on your husband’s face, “d/n, are you alright? what’s the matter?”

your daughter frowns lightly when she taps the top of her head with her two hands once more. she grabs a bit of her hair, but, apparently, she doesn’t find what she is looking for.

her lips jut out as she points at your husband’s horns, “pa?”

he hums in confusion then looks at you, hoping that with motherly super powers, you can understand her.

a few beats pass by before it clicks in your head, and you start smothering her face in kisses, “oh you absolute cutie!” she squeals as she drowns in your affection, “don’t worry! you will get horns and look just like your pretty papa in no time!”

neuvillette is a little puzzled, looking back and forth at your daughter then you. you smile before tapping his horns then tapping her head. he reaches out to hold her, and your girl practically throws herself at him.

he rests his cheek on the top of her head then he closes his eyes and presses a kiss to the top of her head, making her giggle. you sneak away to get a headband that’s been bought for this very moment.

you come back, said headband hidden behind your back, and you usher both your husband and your little girl in front of the mirror. neuvillette quietly sits with your little girl comfortably on his lap.

she stares at the mirror, until your husband starts to lightly bounce her on his legs. she squeals, putting her hands in her mouth then looking up at him, “pa!”

“okay, d/n, look at the mirror for a moment,” you say as you situate the headband on her head, “and voila!,” you kneel beside her, “see? you look just like papa!”

you don’t know who is more in awe, your daughter or your husband. the little girl is basically speechless, and your husband’s eyes have an endless stream of stars swimming in them.

“she does look like me,” he mutters, hold tightening just a tiny bit.

he lets out a breath, before bending slightly to gently rest his forehead on top of your daughter’s little head. he smiles softly, “I am…happy.”

he turns to you, eyes full fondness and love, “thank you.”

you think the bright clear weather that day was no coincidence.

SMILING CRITTERS X BULLIED!READER

Scenario: you are friends with the smiling critters and one day, they found out you were being bullied (lets say there are (3) bully npc's in the cartoon lol)

These Cartoon counterparts seem to be a bit... ooc...

Warning: bullying, violence, "worst case scenario" added for dogday, craftycorn roasting, hoppy choosing violence and rejecting humanity, catnap being catnap, writing may be a bit sloppy and weird lol

A/n: this had got to be one of the most random ideas i had

DogDay

As the leader of the Smiling Critters and your friend, he tries to resolve this in a peaceful manner. He confronts the bullies with you tagged along and attempts to make them apologize to you and wants them to compensate by cleaning the school, canteen and the garden by a whole week.

Of course, the bullies won't do it, so he goes to the teachers to address the problem.

The bullies are punished and will have cleaning duties for more than a week.

Worst case scenario (because i wanted to /j):

If the bullies resorted to violence in an attempt to scare DogDay, he fought back and defended you. You ran for help but one got out of his reach and punched you, he bit the one/s he's fighting and rushed at your aid and barked at the bully. "DON'T YOU DARE HURT MY FRIEND AGAIN!!"

The bullies got scared and ran to the clinic but DogDay barked and chased them until they were punished by the nurse and teachers.

You asked DogDay if he was okay, he grinned at you with a thumbs up, saying, "Of course I am! I will never let anyone dim you down!"

You smiled at his conviction, you were happy that you had such a sunny friend.

Bobby BearHug

After knowing you were being bullied, she immediately went to confront them. You were so scared and you didn't want her to get hurt, but she reassured you she can handle it and winked.

Reaching the bullies' spot, she confronted them. The bulkies glared at you and you cowered behind the bear's back, "So i heard you were bullying my friend? You better pay for that. You must apologize to my friend, now" She hissed, crossing her arms. The bullies simply laughed.

Bobby didnt hesitate to punch the bully on his face. His nose bled. Bobby was a sweet soul, but she's a bear, a predator, a tough cookie to crack. "DO I HAVE TO REPEAT WHAT I SAID?! APOLOGIZE TO MY FRIEND. NOW."

The bullies apologized while trembling in fear. "You can go back to whatever business you are doing now," she said in sweetly, though, there was venom to it, "Dare try to bully my friend once more and I will make sure to tear your limbs apart, skin you alive and--"

You tapped Bobby's shoulder before she went on full detail. "Whoops!" She giggled, scratching the back of her head looking at you. "Now, GO HOME." She pointed out at them, "Please!" of course, she never forgets her manners. That's not very Bobby if she didnt mind her manners, even to her enemies.

KickinChicken

Oh expect this bird to not handle things peacefully, especially with you being hurt. You were away from him, doing your own things. He went to the bullies, but of course, he can't go alone. He knows he can't handle them so he asked DogDay and Hoppy to hop along with him.

Hoppy looked like she was about to murder someone... a baseball bat was with her. DogDay and Kickin talked it out first with the bullies. But when they wouldn't budge, Hoppy stepped in and handed Kickin the bat. "NOW, WHO WANTS TO GO FIRST?" He tapped the bat to his wing. DogDay was against it, but didn't protest, Hoppy was trying not to smirk at the bullies.

The 3 critters and the bullied were headed to your way. You got startled and scared but DogDay, Kickin and Hoppy immediately went to your side. "Now, APOLOGIZE." Kickin forced a smile at them, and they apologized to you.

After that, DogDay took them in for their punishment. Hoppy taked the bat back so that she can go back playing baseball with the others. You thabked Kickin for his action and he blushed, brushing it off as "nothing". You and him sat by a tree and watched the other critters play on the field.

Hoppy Hopscotch

"Wait--Hoppy!" Yoy tried to stop Hoppy from going to the bullies. But she immediately scolded you for being a coward for not telling her this, you explained they threatened you but she didn't listen. "THOSE MFS ARE NO MATCH FOR ME," she spat on the ground.

As soon as you twto spotted the bullies, she didn't waste any time and immediately launched her fists at them. Knocking them off guard. She didnt let any of them escape her wrath. And then she grabbed your hand to run and leave them alone in the open.

CraftyCorn

Crafty was aware of it. "Why aren't you telling me this? We're friends!" She yelled at you. You explained they were going to hurt you if--"Let's go to them!" Crafty smatched your hand and went to the bullies.

Before you knew it, you were corned by the bullies. Taunting and laughing at you two. At first, fear was on ghe unicorn's face but it immediately changed to anger. "You're bullying my friend! You know you shouldn't be doing that!"

"Oh yeah? What're you gonna do about it, horse piss? Your friend's quite a coward and seems to be undeserving to be here." One of the bullies taunted her.

"YOU INSULTING MY FRIEND SHOWS HOW MUCH YOU'RE SO INSECURE ABOUT YOURSELF, IT TELLS A LOT ABOUT YOU, YKNOW?" Crafty snapped.

"COWARD. UGLY. USELESS. TRASH. GOOD FOR NOTHING. YOUR BIRTH WAS A MISTAKE." She added. Then you two turned around and left, you can tell that crafty was so angry because of her trembling hooves. The bully targeted by Crafty's words cried while his other two friends mocked him for being a crybaby.

Moments later--"Ah! I'm sorry! I didnt mamage to make them apologize to you! Sorrysorrysorry--!" Crafty apologized to you. "No, no! It's okay, Crafty! What you said was way more satisfying," in all silliness, you stuck your tongue out. Crafty giggled and she went back to pher canvas,ready to paint another new piece,"oh? Whats that called?" You asked as she sketched out what seems to be shadows looming over a figure protecting a smaller one behind it, there were separated figures at their opposite side, seemingly the figure with shadiws protecting the smaller one from attackers.

"Oh this? I call it... 'Happy Snappy!"

PickyPiggy

Picky was uneasy that day. Ever since she knew you were being bullied, she wasted no time to gather all the trash and dump it anywhere where the bullies would have been to. "HEHEHEHEHE..." The bullies ended up getting scolded by the teachers for dumping 'their' trash around. Pickypiggy snickered behind a tree, watching them from afar. She was quite fast and undetectable.

The bullies bags' had trash in them, their armchairs full of waste.

Then she tricked them into meeting up in a corner, she had full trash cans up on the roof, Hoppy and Kickin assisting her. Then they dumped the pile at them. You took the chance to run and report it to the teachers.

The trio fist bumped in victory and Picky was grateful for their help. She went back to you as you told her the weird thing that happened to the bullies--while eating cookies together.

Bubba Bubbaphant

The smart guy of the group. He was devastated at the fact that you didnt told him anything about your situation. He confronted them in full glasses nerd mode on, you came up to him and told him not to challenge them any further. He ended up getting beaten up by the bullies, he wasnt able to fight. Good thing DogDay was patrolling the area nearbt you.

Bubba was sent to a clinic, but he talked to DogDay first for a special request.

The next day, "man, this room sucks." One of the bullies complained. "What are we doing here anyway?" One of them groaned. They were in detention for two weeks, "How are we supposed to go to our classes now?"

Just in time, Bubba walked inside the room, "Okay class, I'll be your teacher for the next two weeks." He sneered at them. The bullies groaned at him as he wrote down a hell of math on the board. "This is your punishment for bullying a friend of mine, bear with it, losers."

CatNap

And of course, CatNap. He was a sleepyhead of a friend, when he knew you were being bullied, he simply 'slept'.

By nighttime, he went one by one to the bullies' houses. Scaring them and making them scream so loud. He was giving them nightmares with the message of "VIOLENCE OR SILENCE?" This went on for a long time until they gave up bullying you and went on full silent mode.

CatNap still haunts them even if they stopped bullying you.

Rules for requesting/ asking stuff!

Requests: Open

Hello! I’m hugemilkshake and I’m a Cookie run artist. I mainly do X Reader scenarios and sometimes headcannons but here are my rules for requesting/asking stuff (I might add a master list later)

Do remember that art and writing takes time to do!

Stuff that I’m comfortable with!

- Fluff, wether that be romantic or platonic, i find that stuff super wholesome

- goofy silly things, asking silly questions like what’s my opinion on the color blue or silly art requests I really enjoy :3

- Yanderes, I find yanderes very interesting and I enjoy the concept, but not in an actual real life scenario.

- only gender neutral reader. I want to make reader as interpretive as possible so only gender neutral

- Fan art is always welcome!

- Angst, I might not be good at angst but I wILL TRY-

- Cookie run characters from games like kingdom, Ovenbrake and Witch’s Castle are allowed! Wether it’s a playable character or an npc I will do it!

- Stuff about my OCs. My ocs are very silly (sometimes)

- Child, evil, witch or mermaid, ect reader are welcome.

Stuff I’m uncomfortable with-

- Anything smut related. I don’t want to draw anything like that in any shape or form, flirtatious stuff is the furthest I’m willing to do

- Romantic Adult x Child for obvious reasons

- Stuff related to other fandoms I won’t draw or write unless I state so, but I can answer any questions about other fandoms, I just won’t draw it.

- Stuff that deal with serious mental issues like depression, I can do stuff for anxiety but that’s all I feel comfortable doing

- Anything super political. I don’t jump into that

- Don’t ask super personal questions like what’s my name or age. Just don’t.

- Hateful things towards people or groups. Stuff like that is not allowed here

- Things about religion are a no go for me, unless it’s for a character like pastry cookie, I won’t go into religion

Once more, we shall meet

Self Aware! Archbishop Creme Cookie x Baker! Reader

Note: Hurt/comfort, short fic, really rushed, since hes an npc and we dont have a lot of info hes kinda ooc

Archbishop Creme has been busy all day. Running back and forth, doing paper work, everything. Only now in the evening he has a chance to sit and pray to the divine. He opens the doors to the Divine Sanctum, and sees someone standing in front of the alter, body faced away from the door.

“Excuse me?” Ive never seen them before, Archbishop Creme thought. The cookie looks back, Archbishop Creme gasps. “B-Baker?”

“Its been awhile, Archbishop Creme Cookie.” You smile and look at him.

Archbishop Creme is at a lost for words, a shiver runs down his back.

You slowly began to walk closer to him “My most devoted follower..” You whisper. “Ive missed you, did you know that?” You trace your hand gently across his cheek.

His hand carefully reaches and holds your unoccupied hand. “My love…” He whispers.

“Im so sorry, im sorry I’ve been gone so long..” Tears slip from your eyes.

Archbishop Creme pulls you into his chest, “You musn’t be sorry. You are of the Divine, we knew this relationship would be hard. But you must push on.”

“You all have been fighting wars and battles that I wasn’t there to help protect..” you say barely above a whisper. “Why does everyones faith fall onto me?… Im unfortunately, never present during hardships. Im never there for you..”

“Nobody knows you like I do.” Archbishop Creme cups your cheeks.

“…We were never ment to be, you need someone who will be there-”

“Dont speak like that, we have proven multiple times that we should be together.” He wipes the tears That continue to from your eyes. “Please, tell me about your feelings on this. You cannot continue to hide this from me.”

“I-I.. Im not sure-” You were cut off by the Divine Sanctums doors opening.

“Archbishop Creme Cookie! Are you-…. in here….” Clotted Creme walked in. “..Baker?”

You and Archbishop Creme gasp. You both are still in each others arms.

“Why is Baker crying, what did you do Archbishop Creme!?” Clotted Cream yells.

“No- Its not what you think!” Archbishop Creme Exclaimed

“Let me explain!” You continue to explain the situation. How you first met, how long you’ve been together, everything.

“Let me get this straight…. You both have been together for a while, and no one knew of this?”

You and Archbishop Creme nod.

“It would mess with everything. If people knew, while im not here, im not sure what would happen to Archbishop Creme. I dont trust everyone here..” You say.

“Well I’ll keep your secret safe, I also agree there are cookies that shouldn’t be trusted..”

“Thank you, Clotted Cream.” Archbishop Creme says.

Requests here! :D

pure vanilla x f reader and (separately) Clotted Cream X f reader. Y/N / F / C/F hails from the republic, cousin to the consul himself and is interested in the ancients. They had moved to the vanilla kingdom for a short while and slowly fell in love with pure vanilla. Ofc consul acts like a big brother and will try to deny it.

Clotted Cream x f reader

Hails from HollyBerry kingdom or dark cacao kingdom( preferably dark cacao since her job would be a watcher ik there’s a npc called the 2nd watcher but never mind that. We are the 2nd watcher) Travels across the world with her interesting personality of both kingdoms and slowly falls in love with clotted after many hangouts

Extra for clotted: A ball and fireworks show :)

I always have some ideas of cookies in my head. So I’ll always be asking for them most likely. Such as PV,CC,CA and others but by far those 3.

For future reference please make each promo a separate ask thank you! These might not be as detailed as I would like because I'm going through mild writer's block ATM

You and Clotted Cream were always pretty close. You and him acted more like siblings than cousins. When you two moved to the Vanilla Kingdom you met Pure Vanilla while taking a walk through the gardens.

You two happened to bump into each other whenever you went on walks. You two could talk for hours while tending the gardens.

After a few weeks you were asked on a date to the crows nest inn it went fantastic everyone was super supportive he was super sweet and you went on many dates after that!

Clotted was... Conflicted. He came here to convince the ancients to give the soul jams up, but now you have gotten attached and are upset with him after finding out he spilled the beans about White Lily.

He got progressively more annoyed about this conflict of interests and worries for your safety, because if the COD finds out PV has a lover.... You may have put a target on your back.

After a while though, he warms up to the idea for a few reasons

One he makes you happy

Two this is a great opportunity for the political alliance to be even stronger

It guarantees pure vanilla's interested in helping the Republic

The council is actually ecstatic to have someone from the Republic be that close to an ancient.

Overall it ends up pretty well you stayed living in the vanilla Kingdom coming to visit your cousin every now and again everyone's extremely happy and pure vanilla is a very sweet and kind lover always making you breakfast in bed and in general being the best boyfriend you could ask for.

{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}

I'm going to modify this and make you the third watcher which I know probably isn't a thing, but it'll give you a reason to be outside the kingdom!

You were traveling with his majesty to the Republic. Being the third watcher you were essentially his bodyguard that stands by his side every time he travels, he can handle himself but it's always nice to have backup. You're also the one who does diplomacy and otherwise exploration of the cacao Kingdom and otherwise.

You first meet clotted cream when he spills the beans about white lily and sees him almost be murdered harmed. In all honesty you are both appalled and impressed by the audacity of this man.

Dark Cacao requests that you keep an eye on him as one of the most trusted watchers in the entire Kingdom. He trusts you not to be swayed or manipulated like gingerbrave was.( He is not opposed to you having a personal relationship whether that be friendship or otherwise you would prefer not to cuz he doesn't particularly like him, but he wants you to be careful.)

You two start talking and you find out about the situation with his mother and how is stepfather is frankly an ass. He asks you out during the New Year's firework show.

The sounds of fireworks going off briefly stopped and then that's when he made his move he requested you come with him to the ball in the Republic as his plus one.

You accept but you would have to ask his majesty if he would need you for protection during that time or if you were free. You were so you gladly go.

You wear a dress that actually has pants disguised as a skirt you know in case things go south a watcher is always prepared. You wear the darker colors purple blacks and the symbol of dragons caramel arrow a good friend of yours has picked out the dress.

You had a wonderful time had a hard time avoiding sweets and mostly had to stick to the savory areas of the food but y'all have had a wonderful time and end up staying together and form a bond between the cacao Kingdom and The Republic.

Excuse me? Can I have Earl Grey and a Jam Cookie (Strawberry Picking Date) in fem student reader x stats prof AU? Happy 500+ followers!! <333

Characters: Levi x fem!reader

Prompts: Levi [Earl Grey] and strawberry picking date [jam cookie]

A/N: Tsuki MY THIRST SUPPLIER <3 thank you for being my muse and for always providing me with the best thirst ideas ^_^ I hope you enjoy this cute strawberry picking date with Statistics Professor Levi hehe.

There's mentions of reader inserts (y/n) but no physical descriptions will be used. Also, a random NPC and another character makes an appearance here xD

Rei’s 600 Follower Event: Date-A-Boyfriend (Closed)

"Oi, y/n. Get changed. We're going out." A cool voice resounded through the study room and you looked up. You were at your statistics professor's house studying for your statistics exam next week. Although your grades had been improving since having those private lessons with your professor-cum-secret-lover, you were still not confident in scoring well for the upcoming exam.

"H-huh?" You uttered, feeling confused. Levi let out a sigh.

"Look at yourself," he came closer and cupped your cheek, using his fingers to ease the frown between your eyebrows. "I know you've been studying hard. You deserve a break. Your dark circles are terrible." You let out a small chuckle.

"It's fine, love. I'm fine. I don't need a break, I want to score well and make you proud."

"Study hard for yourself, not to please me. Also, go get changed." Levi kissed your forehead and left, not giving you a chance to argue. You giggled and followed him to the bedroom where you kept some of your spare clothes.

The trip to the strawberry farm took about an hour, and even though the sun was hanging high up in the sky, the heat wasn't hurting your skin at all. Levi took out his cap and put in on for you before ushering you out of the car. You could feel butterflies in your stomach, unsure if it was from the excitement of spending time out of the house with your secret lover, or nervousness because you've never done this before.

"Hey, Uncle Jon," Levi waved to a tall middle aged man with dusty blonde hair. You looked at him and felt that he looked a little familiar. You gingerly followed behind Levi, walking towards a tiny shop house.

"Levi, m'boy, you're here!" The middle aged man grabbed Levi's hands and happily clapped his back. "Oh, and who's this charming young lady?" You quickly bowed and introduced yourself. Just then, another vaguely familiar face appeared by the doorway.

"Oh, you're here," Mike shrugged, giving Levi a fist bump. Ahh, you connected the dots together. "That's Mike's father, Jonathan." You greeted Mike and he gave you a small smile.

"Didn't know Associate Professor Zacharias' family owned a strawberry farm," you whispered as Uncle Jonathan ushered you both inside, insisting on offering you two drinks before going off to pluck strawberries.

"Yeah, Mike comes back to help out during the semester breaks. Erwin and I would drop by sometimes too."

Once you two had your fill of water, Uncle Jon passed you both gloves, two baskets, some tweezers, and told you both to enjoy yourselves.

"Ever done this before?" Levi asked as he put on his gloves. You shook your head and followed behind him as he squat down in front of a small bush.

"It's easy, just look for strawberries that are ripe, snip them off from the stem, and put them gently in the basket. Don't want to bruise them." Levi demonstrated for you by cutting a few juicy fat strawberries, bringing one to your mouth. You stared at him wide-eyed.

"Go on, have a taste," Levi signalled again and offered you the juicy berry.

"Huh? B-but, we haven't paid yet, isn't t-this—"

"It's fine, Erwin always does this anyway. Go on, kitten, have one." You took a bite from the strawberry and felt your eyes widened once more. They were sweet with a slight sour punch, and it tasted really crunchy too.

"Wow, these are fantastic! So much nicer than the ones we get at the supermarket," you took another smaller strawberry from the basket and started munching.

"Told you." Levi gave you a slight smile and continued harvesting the strawberries. Picking up a pair of tweezers, you decided to try picking some of your own too. Your knees were starting to ache after remaining in the squatting position for so long, and you decided to take a walk. Levi had already gone on ahead of you, harvesting a basket full of strawberries. Your feet automatically found their way towards Levi where he was squatting in front of another strawberry bush, snipping the juicy fruits.

"You doing okay? The sun's pretty hot today." Levi glanced upwards, his face a bright red. You smiled and took off the cap, placing it on Levi's head.

"Mm-hmm, I'm fine. My knees are hurting so I decided to take a walk." You looked at the basket full of strawberries by Levi's feet, and you found another full basket a few steps away. You glanced at the basket in your hands. Where did the extra basket come from? "Love, didn't Uncle Jonathan only give us two baskets?" Levi looked away and you couldn't tell if his cheeks were red from getting a sunburn or if he was embarrassed about something.

"I was just thinking that, um, you know, I wanted to make some homemade strawberry jam for you as a treat, since you've been working hard," Levi stood up and held your hand, wiping a bead of perspiration from your forehead using another. "I secretly got another basket from Uncle Jon to harvest more strawberries for you. Who knew you were sharp enough to realise there was one extra." Levi pinched your nose playfully and you giggled, feeling the butterflies flutter once again. You grabbed Levi's hands, a rush of appreciation and love overflowing within you.

"I'll just pretend I didn't hear that." Staring at Levi, you pressed a soft kiss to his pretty lips. "Thank you, love. I really appreciate it, from bringing me out on such a lovely day, and for whatever"—you used your fingers to gesture two quotation marks in the air—"surprise you're planning for me tomorrow." Levi scoffed and ruffled your hair affectionately, squatting down to grab a few more strawberries to feed you.

Before you knew it, you and Levi spent the entire afternoon at the farm. After dinner with the Zacharias', Levi and you waved goodbye to them and went home with a large harvest of strawberries. You couldn't contain your smile, and you definitely couldn't wait to have a taste of Levi's homemade strawberry jam tomorrow.

Well I've only been to strawberry picking once and I hope that it is still relatable for all of you hehe. Also... maybe once you've done picking these strawberries, strawberries and chocolate would be nice :p can you imagine though, Levi making you strawberry jam from scratch... yes please!!!!!

Also!! Out of all of Levi's friends, I can totally picture Mike's parents owning a farm and just... living the country life 💚 know who else would enjoy the country life??? Moblit!!!!

Can I request Yandere Brother Yugi amane ( Hanako) x sister reader x yandere brother Yugi tsukasa? (The child age around 5-6 y/o) I prefer headcannon but you can do one shot if you want to! The plot is up to you! Thank you 🤗

Alright my child!

Hanako

Honestly hanako probally one of those type of big bro. Where they soft.

Hug, don't ask why. We all know this guy loves hug.

Since this guy is a ghost, you probally some of spirit that die while you still a kid.

Hanako is type of big bro where he act like he don't care that much but when something goes down he's up for it

Usually, you'll cook him a donut and sweet.

He can be seen with you almost every day

If both of you have enough time. You and your big bro probably gonna go prank yashiro again.

Overall, hamako is good big bro.

Hanako wouldn't mind killing any ghost that caused you trouble. He'll do it without any hesitation.

If you not there with him trust me. He'll try to find you as fast as he can.

Hanako trust Yashiro and kou to take care of you.

However, he'll trust Tsuchigomori the most

Hanako might don't look like it but he is the number 7 of the school ghost so he cannot be underestimated.

Hanako is strong and no one can deny it

Hanako closed your eyes and cast something on you making you lose your vision for a moment. He put you gently on the floor and take out his weapon, the ghost who mistreat you could feel the anger in the air.

As the day comes by, you never see the ghost. When you ask your big bro where it is all you got was a chuckle and somehow a dark feeling on your big brother

"oh! I just have a nice chat with them. Don't worry y/n!"

Tsukasa

Terrifying as big bro, tsukasa without a doubt fall into the category as "the-i-wont-mind-to-tortured-you-if-you-touched-my-siblings" kind of big bro.

Just like Hanako, tsukasa would hug you whether you like it or not.

Most of the time he can be seen with you if Hanako he have something to do.

If he really can't be with you then better expect a LOT of hug

Stalk you, you can't changed my mind. If he really can't be with you which is extremely rare

Killed whoever make a bad rumor about you.

Tsukasa put a big trust on you so behave well Kay?

Tsukasa obviously has killed before and he ain't afraid to do it again.

(don't made him do that)

Give you anything, want some sweet? Welp someone's sweet got steal today.

100% has killed someone for you.

Obviously, tsukasa is manipulative so if you are sakura or some random NPC know about tsukasa. You can expect he lied a lot to you

He is terribly bad at knowing personal space like he hug you every day and don't care about what others think.

And he think you should not care too!

I mean, cmon! You siblings and siblings do this every day right?

Is the fact that hanako is scared of him is not enough to make you think he is dangerous than go see it for yourself

Tsukasa give you a candy and due to you childish persona which is caused by from your age. You eat it. And somehow you felt sleepy.

Tsukasa then put you gently in tsukasa's way and go to the human.

The guy could only closed his eyes as he knows what is gonna happen, those night were filled with screaming of terror.

"big brother tsukasa" tsukasa turn around and look at you with curious eyes.

"what?"

You answer while eating a cookies.

"what happen to the human last night?"

Tsukasa pat you and smile like he used to except, you can see his eyes turning into black if that's is possible. But you brush it of thinking it's just your brother being himself again.

"no need to worry! They won't bother us anymore"

Y/N Cookie Blurbs (Various Cookies)

Essentially little random stuff set from various fics

A Handycookie’s Expertise

You were ready to head out for the day, work in the lower levels wasn’t easy, but it came with the territory. You put away your equipment at your station before heading to the elevator as you pressed the button.

“Hold the elevator for me, Y/N Cookie~”

Crumbs. (Sonic drowning theme plays)

You subtly, but rapidly, kept pressing the elevator button. Fortuna please, this was the last thing you wanted today, you were right there-

Dark Fondue made it inside before the elevator door closed a mere second afterwards.

“Thank you, you’re such a gentleman/lady~”

Cue one awkward elevator ride as Dark Fondue tried to get as close as possible to you, asking if you happened to be free tonight~

————————————————————————

Bake It till You Make It

“What a beautiful cake! Do you have any plans to visit the Republic? Would you be interested in opening a branch there?”

Your baking career has led you to opening up shop in the Creme Republic, after a long negotiation with Clotted Cream Cookie. This place definitely had a different vibe then back home, but hey, the republicans seem to really love your cakes, so you learned to stick to it.

“This cake tasted so amazing! If it’s not much a problem…can I order another?”

“It was perfect! Not even the republic’s bakers can match your level, they can learn from you!”

“Looked and tasted as great as I thought it would! I’m definitely coming back here..”

What happy customers…a little too happy…

Oh well, next!

“O-oh, I was just happening to be walking by when I saw this cake shop, I thought it would be a good opportunity to visit.”

You thanked the woman, with the reputation of the republic, still hearing that they’d be interested in visiting your little cake shop over the more fancy restaurants made you feel honored.

“If it’s not too much to ask, may I request a cake?”

You readied your notepad.

Whenever you’re ready, madam.

————————————————————————

A Fish in a Barrel

Part two will be happening, don’t y’all worry!

“Where they could be? We’re searched a large portion of these snowy plains and…oh no..this is…part of Y/N Cookie’s uniform in the snow. You don’t think they’re…”

“Hold your tongue! The Eighth Watcher would never let themselves freeze, they’re stronger then that. We should take this as a sign that they’re out there instead!”

Bittersweet just looked to the ever expansive tundra of snow, with you on Bittersweet’s mind.

The Second Watcher refused to believe you were frozen crumbs, you HAD to be out there somewhere.

The Bittersweet Watcher also wanted to hope you were out there as well, everyone has been a little down on morale, including Bittersweet.

Caramel Arrow did help with matters…but…

The Watchers just felt empty without you…

————————————————————————

No Dice

Clotted Cream Cookie had to walk around with a shield you casted on him for the rest of the council meetings, your ancient cookie pals would be incredibly hostile towards him, especially if you were nearby.

The squad would never leave your side ever since Clotted’s proposal, they were too worried that this cookie may try to pull a fast one and rob your Soul Jam!

It’s only normal that the best of friends look out for one another! Pure Vanilla thinks that time spent together can really bring you all closer together.

That would be a good idea if it weren’t for the fact that they were trying to kil-WHITE LILY PUT THOSE POISONOUS LILES DOWN!

She swears that she’s only handling a problem before it gets worse. No cookie will take advantage of you when she’s around! So she…plans on taking Clotted out of the picture so he won’t bother you anymore!

You would sigh as you gave White Lily a gentle bonk on the head. No, White Lily, that was not the way of the ancient heroes.

————————————————————————

Molded, Battered, Whole

The six dragons were flying about in the islands, it was time they all got a pile of fresh air, especially dragons that remain cooped up in their palace all day…Lotus…

It was also a time the five wanted to spend time with you not having to worry about anything. Longan’s plan could wait just a little longer if it meant getting to see you more often.

And so, the five dragons soared through the sky, flapping their wings at different rates-five?

The dragons looked around for their missing sixth, only to see you lagging behind as you flapped your wings slower then theirs.

Lychee giggled as they watch you try to keep up with the others, who now have stopped their flying to allow you to catch up.

“Hehehe, come on Y/N Dragon Cookie! Don’t be a slowpoke now!”

Yep. This old dragon cookie was slowing down..

The other dragons’ eyes widen at your statement, now being reminded of your old and possibly declining self.

Lychee…

They cried as they clung to you, swearing that it was a joke, they didn’t mean it…

Please don’t leave them behind…

The dragons took extra good care of you that week

hihi! i know you're busy, but if you're doing npcs, can you do smoked cheese cookie x reader? (that man is so underrated), where he has a redemption arc because of his dearest and right now he is just menacingly staring at passing cookies? its okayif you won't do it! but if you will thank you!!

Smoked Cheese always stayed perched in his usual tower within the kingdom, watching as many cookies passed by. Some saw him, some did not. He knew a lot of cookies had mixed feelings about what he's done and who he is now... But he didn't care what they thought. See him as a villain if they'd like, he has new goals in mind to take care of! Those goals are with his dearest and making sure you one day have a golden ring on your hand. He doesn't need that Soul Jam anymore, he just needs you in his life. You are his new kingdom to conquer, and he will conquer you no matter what.

-ˋˏ✄— After Work Blues

˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳ Black Squid Cookie x Reader

Pronouns: they/them

"Aah, you're always here whenever I'm down."

.navigation. // .cookie run: kingdom masterlist.

The bustling of the town could be heard from where Y/n sat. They leaned outside their window, watching people wander about the streets as the sunny morning had rolled to late afternoon. Black Squid Cookie should be arriving soon, they thought.

As if on cue, a knock echoed from their shared home, followed by the creaking of the opening door and the voice of their partner. "My dear, I'm home!"

Moving away from where they sat, they went to greet him at the door. "Black Squid Cookie, I'm glad you're back. How was work?"

The man groaned, taking off his shoes before falling into his partner's open arms. "Tiring. Barely anyone wanter my wares..."

"Oh, it's alright, love. Come on then, you need some rest."

They led him to their bedroom, helping him under the blanket before they followed after, lying beside him.

Black Squid leaned into his partner, humming in satisfaction as they started brushing their hands over his messy hair.

"Oh, we wouldn't want this breaking now," they said, pulling out the headband with the little stars on them.

He hummed in response, eyes drooping as exhaustion washed over him.

"Thank you, dear. You're always such a sweetheart to me."

Giggling, Y/n smiled down at him. "Anytime, Black Squid. You overwork yourself too much, you know?"

Closing his eyes, he slowly drifted off to sleep, mumbling. "I'll do anything for you, my love."

—PATCHWRK!

oh. Oh The Temptation to start a reader fic x crk

hrmngh looking at my old draft for the idea of it is so Bad. there are some parts i like but i know i was rushing to get to the part i acutally did want to write

the plot was just like. kinda those self aware fics except it's like. crk isn't acutally self aware, reader just ends up reincarnating into the world (shout out to anyone who read the first ever thing i posted which was like an affogato cookie x reader oneshot and had that reader in it...) like okay i was Contemplating if.. if reader oblivious.... gets gaggle of people introduced to them and falls in deep.... Ohohoho..... i think it was mainly what like. reader would be since they couldn't really fight and had to stay at the kingdom and just took over the kingdom duties for everyone is what hooked me to the idea and which is like:

random npc: wow how are the hell are these guys (referring to gingerbrave and his ragtag group) managing a kingdom

screen then cuts to reader ordering some cookies and sugar gnomes and just fucking rushing around the kingdom fixing shit

random npc: ah. that's the one

like. I Could write it. but like im so horrible at doing anything that's multi-chap (i Never speak of my failed attempts at literally any sort of story that isnt a one-shot. we do not talk about my fe3h failed series i wrote when i was barely getting into writing)

this was an extremely uneeded post but it might be interesting to anyone who wanders across my blog hello person who reads this

#lacuna✧text #LIKE. i could still write it its just that i know id probably like give up halfway #you will not be forgotten idea of mine

Crowbar Nurse Chapter 15 — Fanficcers Ship, That’s What They Do

Back in front of the safehouse, the three of us had begun planning our endgame strategy together.

“This would be the path to get to the truck ending.”

I drew a line on the ground with a stick of chalk. Kiryū and I came across a set of sidewalk chalk on our way home and now we were putting it to good use by drawing maps. … Originally, it was meant to evoke the image that children were playing in the streets one day and then suddenly getting attacked by zombies, but it was never shown in the actual game for ethical reasons… Oh, and if you wanted to know, the set had every color a kid could ever need.

“Go this way, then here, turn here, then like this, then… and that’s our goal. Simple, right?” “Turn this way here?” “No, no. It’s that way there.” “Oh… so, like this?” “No, not like that. Like this.” “And then that way?” “No, the other way.” “Then this way.” “No! I’m telling you, that way over there…” “Gaaah! Knock it off, you two! Neither one of you are making any sense anymore!”

Elizabeth interrupted our serious and earnest preparation session.

“What is going on?! Ever since you have returned from the firing range, you lot have been completely incoherent, mainly because you are deliberately avoiding any eye contact! What on earth happened between the two of you?!” “Umm, erm…”

Stumbling with my words, I glanced at Kiryū who immediately looked away in a fluster. Both of us must’ve been embarrassed about how I had run up and hugged him earlier.

“… N-Nothing at all! There’s nothing that you have to worry about, Elizabeth!”

I squeezed my eyes shut and shrieked back at her, but I don’t think it helped my case at all.

“… I see. So, that’s how it is,” Elizabeth responded in a low whisper. “Huh?"

I opened my eyes to see her grinning from ear to ear.

“Umm, Elizabeth?” “I see. I understand now. So, that sort of stuff happened at the firing range.” “Wha—?!”

My head was about to snap off from how hard I was shaking my head, but Elizabeth wasn’t reacting to me at all. She was dripping with fraught just a moment ago. I guess it was good that she’s got her spirit back, but where did all of this excitement come from?

“Umm, are you alright, Elizabeth? Is something the matter?” “… I apologize for the late and abrupt introduction.” “Huh?” “I am but yet another wage slave from Shinjuku. My hobbies include dating simulations, reader-inserts, and providing dating advice to the friends around me.” “Reader-inserts?”

The term seemed to have thrown Kiryū for a loop.

“What are those? I come across lots of fan labor made by women due to the nature of my work, but I’ve never heard of that one before… Any clue, Sera?” “No, not one bit.”

As I shook my head again, this time, Elizabeth responded with a chuckle.

“Not a surprise, seeing how Sera is but a normie… Reader-insert is but a small subgenre within fanfiction. It is a type of story in which the audience inserts themselves as the protagonist, paired with a canon character. Though it doesn’t get much attention, the subgenre has quite a few followers worldwide, even outside of Japan, where they’re sometimes called x readers .” “What does the x mean though?”

Elizabeth readily answered his question.

“The x denotes pairing. You would put the character name before the x to signify the work pairs the character and the reader in a relationship, usually a romantic one. Authors overseas usually write in second person, but here in Japan, we use cookies and scripts to pull the reader’s name from their account and insert it into the text. … And for your reference, I stan canon/OC pairings. That is to say, rather than using the reader, I prefer stories with OC.” “OC?”

Kiryū was thrown for loop after loop, then he looked at me.

“… Any clue, Sera?” “No, not one bit.”

Elizabeth sighed in exasperation as I shook my head for the third time.

“You truly know nothing, don’t you…? ‘OC’ is short for ‘original character’. Anyway, getting back on track and to summarize what I mean, I indulge in observing the romance between other people. Just listening to my friends and family gushing about their love interests is simply not enough. Instead, I have to reach out to dating sims and fanfiction to satiate this desire of mine. Though I don’t care much for getting directly involved. That is why I am delighted to see this unfold.” “… What exactly is unfolding here?”

My question had only pleased her more.

“Why, of course, the situation between you and Kiryū! You two are almost like grade schoolers in how you are so conscious of each other now.” “Yeah, right! What are you talking about?!” “I am so not!”

Somehow, we both picked the most childish ways to respond to her. It was likely just him panicking, but the way how Kiryū said it was exactly how a grade schooler would.

Elizabeth mockingly scoffed back, “Heh. It’s obvious, seeing how flustered you two are. So, something did indeed happen at the firing range, then? I’m not about to judge. However, with how confused you two are, you have also lost your teamwork and communication. Now, hurry up and tell you love each other and embrace already so that we can proceed with the ending with clear heads.”

She extended her hands out towards us, as if she were waiting on something to happen.

“Think about us for a moment, Elizabeth! Surely, it’s obvious that you’re asking for something totally unreasonable!” “I am?” “Yes, you are! I haven’t met Kiryū in person before, you know? There’s no way I could even consider anything romantic between us! My feelings towards Kiryū are purely and genuinely one of respect!” “Right, sure. So she said, Kiryū.”

She takes an upwards glance at him as she spoke. Kiryū simply nodded and brushed off her comments as to end this embarrassing topic for good.

Elizabeth, why did you have to go and bring that up…?

I sighed in defeat as I looked up at Kiryū, who looked just as fed up with the situation as I was. I’m sure we were both thinking the same thing as we couldn’t help but chuckle at our predicament.

“… See how in sync you two are?”

In a complete reversal, she had turned to a sage; her expression was calm and gentle and her laughter dry, but different from the teasing tone that marked her previously. … A thought randomly popped into my mind: Oh, that’s right. She’s got her teaching license, doesn’t she? Perhaps she’s taught boys and girls in her class that acted the same way. Interrupting my thoughts, Elizabeth continued,

“It’s good and well that you two are in sync but remember that our teamwork crumbles if you two are being awkward and refuse to look each other in the eyes. Cooperation is just as important in slaying zombies as it is in folk dance in PE class. Nothing will work to your favor if you are embarrassed. Don’t forget that our lives are on the line too.” “You’re… absolutely right.”

I nodded after listening to Elizabeth. She smiled back as if to say, Just as long as you understand. I have the feeling that she had messed with us only to snap us out of our emotions. She has my gratitude for that, but yet… having how bothered I had been pointed out made me feel a little sheepish.

“… I know perfectly how to get to the truck ending, so don’t worry about memorizing this.”

I punctuated my explanation with a sigh,

“But to give everyone the gist of it, our plan is to take a bit of a detour to slip past the traps ahead of us as we force our way to the enemies and bosses. After the detour, we’ll barrel down the missile-torn roads in our truck towards ‘You’… That’s the plan, at least. Should be a piece of cake.” “A piece of cake? There were exactly zero parts in your plan that sounded easy.”

Elizabeth squeezed her temples as if she had a terrible headache. Raising my head upwards, I looked into her eyes, reassuring her that we’ll be fine, and she smiled.

“Don’t worry. Let me take care of massacring the zombies. Sure, it may be a little rough ahead, but we’ve got so many toys in our arsenal, so let’s have some fun enjoying this game too. Let’s just step on the gas and see if we can’t power through it.” “I trust you, Sera.”

The man of few words picked up his crowbar.

“The path is as you marked out, right? There ain’t much time. Let’s get a move on.”

He wasn’t kidding about hurrying; he sped off, leaving Elizabeth and me to frantically catch up. Elizabeth saw the blush on my cheeks and empathetically patted my on the shoulder with a gentle smile.

“… You have fallen for Kiryū, haven’t you? Perhaps you are surprised at how sudden these feelings came?” “I-I’m telling you, I haven’t! Really!”

I desperately shook my head from side to side, but… unfortunately, I can’t seem to shake Kiryū off my mind. Still, she's mistaken. These aren’t romantic feelings… I don't think so, at least. It was easy to brush off her earlier comments as a joke, but the longer I contemplate about this, the more embarrassed I get. I hadn’t given much thought about the Kiryū in real life up until now. I mean, I understand there’s a person in there, but I was charmed by the handsome Kiryū Sōichirō. And because of that, I’d been treating him like an actual in-game NPC. I was even being smug and cavalier to him.

I don’t think I would act like that anymore. I don’t think I could. I can’t even look him properly in the eyes.

“Is that right? Well, in that case, I should best stop teasing you about it. My apologies for being insensitive. But what really happened between you two?” “Umm… He was doxed? I doxed him?” “What? How did something like that happen?” “I guess I could say… I knew someone who spoke like him?” “And you knew who he really is from just that?” “Yes? But ma-maybe not? Huh. How the heck did I figure who he is from just how he spoke? That’s weird. That’s really weird…” “… Who the hell cares?!”

Kiryū interjected, severing our conversation. It seemed like he didn’t know where he was going and had to backtrack to us for guidance.

“Let’s hurry up and finish the damn game! That’s all that we should be focusing on right now!”

He was unnaturally worked up and visibly flustered. I can understand why. I mean, his face was all over the internet… But what if he never gets over it? Poor guy. Men sure have it rough in their thirties.

And so, we set off for the truck ending in this amusing yet awkward mood surrounding us. … Or at least until we get into combat again, where Kiryū and I returned to our normal selves. Hurrah, zombie games. Praise be unto zombie games. All hail mighty zombie games.

“—Muahaha! See you bastards in hell!”

As we progressed on the canonical route, the windows on the fifth floor of a mixed-use building smashed open, freeing a bunch of NPC’s. The moment they hit the ground, they became emotionless weapons of war, attacking all the zombies around them, and throwing them into disarray. The NPC’s jump down one by one as I laugh manically, putting off Elizabeth.

“… You know, I had expected an expert on zombie games to be… cooler than this…” “You can’t beat them if you worry too much about looking cool, Liz.” “Have you considered whether I preferred to be called ‘Elizabeth’?” “But your name is just so long. Anyway, zombie survival games are complex, you know? Sometimes, you’ve gotta do crazy things to win.”

The new soldiers rushed the infected, handily defeating them. Since they’re a low-level mob, so I’m not worried about killing too many of them. They don’t give too much experience anyway. As soon as I said it out loud, though, Kiryū wielded his crowbar and went wild at the zombies.

“Ooh, impressive. You’re really swinging for the fences.”

Before I knew it, I was already awed by Kiryū. It wasn’t just me though. Elizabeth was equally impressed.

“Kiryū is quite well-versed too, I see… Zombie games are simpler than I had thought.” “Don’t get ahead of yourself, Liz. This happens all too often. They watch a god gamer play and think they can do it themselves too. But once they try it for themselves, they get their butts handed to them. Still, for someone claiming he’s never played this kind of game before… Kiryū really is seriously good.” “Mm.” “Ah, we’ll get bombed if we head straight here, so let’s climb over the rubble to our right.”

As I was trotting to the hurdle, I looked behind my shoulder to find Kiryū hacking away at the zombies as if he were possessed.

“—There it is! That’s the truck!”

After climbing the rubble hill, we reached a plaza where the deuce and a half was abandoned. There’s no mistaking the flat dark earth behemoth as anything but a military vehicle. As the name suggests, it was designed to haul 5,000 lb of cargo.

“Let’s ride this bad boy all the way to the end.” “… Don’t you need the key for it?”

Kiryū, late to the party, ran his fingers along the truck and wondered about how to start it. He was dripping with sweat, likely from his killing frenzy.

“Of course, we need the key. That’s why it’s in your pocket,” I say as I plucked it out of his pocket.

“… Oh, that key, the one we weren’t supposed to get until the second week. That means the truck ending shouldn’t be open until then, too.” “That’s right. This isn’t a canonical ending, but rather an Easter egg, much like the so-called UFO ending.”

I stepped onto the running board, heaved myself into the driver’s seat, and stuck the key into the ignition.

“Oh, my. An ending in which the protagonist gets abducted by aliens? How amusing. I wonder if I can find a video online once I return home.”

As she says that, sparks rained down from the sky, igniting the buildings in our vicinity.

“S-Sparks are falling down on us all of a sudden!” “This cutscene plays once the key is in the ignition. It’s proof that my plan is working, so don’t worry.” “A-Also, another copy of Nick just appeared, and he’s terribly hurt!” “And he’s so much more handsome. Yep, that’s the Nick from the cutscene.”

I jumped off the driver’s seat to inspect this New Nick. Covered with cuts and soot, New Nick scanned his surroundings and suddenly started shouting in English.

＊＊＊ＥＮＧＬＩＳＨ＊＊＊ “N-Nick began speaking in English!” “Don’t worry, Elizabeth. He’s shouting something like, ‘Like hell I’m going to stay in this shithole.’” ＊＊＊ＥＮＧＬＩＳＨ＊＊＊ “And a middle-aged man just appeared, screaming something in English too!” “Like I said, it’s all good. He’s an NPC that only appears in this cutscene. And this guy is yelling, ‘I feel you, man. Ain't like we’re gon’ find survivors no more, so let’s skedaddle on out of this nightmare of a town,’ or something to that effect.”

I explained to Elizabeth beside me, as she curiously and attentively watched the two white men speak.

“… Hey, Sera? Why do they speak so monotonously? It’s completely different than in Glee…” “Oh, did you watch Glee as well?” “Back when I was still in university, I thought it would help with my English. It didn’t take long before I was hooked.” “Wow, how diligent of you. Umm, well, this sort of thing happened a lot when Japanese video games got localized. Even though they hired proper voice talents, for some reason, they still read their lines off a script. The acting was just awful in Resident Evil and those speedy blue hedgehog games…”

Nick clapped his hands, interrupting our chit chat.

“Ah, that’s Nick saying, ‘Let’s hurry on out of here.’ Alright, Kiryū, Elizabeth. Let’s hop in too. Of course, New Nick and the random NPC are planning to leave town, so we’ll have jack the truck before that happens. That way, we’ll be able to reach ‘You’ and the ending area. After that, then we can escape…”

Before I could finish, the world fell into darkness, accompanied by an odd screeching noise.

A reference to the cult classic Kowloon’s Gate, an adventure game from more than two decades ago. It’s not the author forgetting to fill in the English dialogue! In the original game, ＊＊＊ベトナム語＊＊＊(Vietnamese) would be displayed when a certain Vietnamese character speaks. (Yes, the voice acting was in perfect Vietnamese too.) It’s theorized that this was either simply a joke or that the developers didn’t have the resources to add a typeface with Vietnamese script support. How’s this for an obscure reference?

are you following me? a short, dumb story

helloooooooo

i know i know i know.

but lewis! your last post was only like 2 weeks ago and you usually wait 8 ridiculous months between posts!

i know dude but this dumb thing happened yesterday and i thought it was funny, so here i am logging into tumblr.

let’s get straight to it.

i’m back in STL for a couple weeks to visit my mom and grandparents and cat. it’s hot and humid and beautiful. i love st louis so fucking much!

ted drewes! gooey butter cake! chocolate drop cookies from missouri baking co! gus’s pretzels! companion bakery! nelly doing backflips in that vid where he beats allen iverson in a half court shot contest (yes that is a real video and it is incredible and never forget charlamagne tha god said the only celebrity he ever thought might really beat his ass on air was nelly).

so this was yesterday, july 25th, a wednesday. i had spent the day working in a coffee shop and then went to the brentwood ymca to workout. i’m sitting on a bench in the Y between sets, and this middle aged white dude comes up to me.

guy: “are you following me?”

me: *looking up from my phone* wat

guy: *in an over emphasized teehee jokey joke tone* are you followin’ meee?!

me: *scrunching up my face*

me: *again* wat

guy: *doing about the jokey-est voice fucking humanly possible and adding in some comedic hand gestures for emphasis*

heh are you followin’ me?! are ya stalkin’ meee?!

me: dude do i know you?

guy: *face dropping a little* oh heh heh, no! i was in the coffee shop earlier! and now i see you here...

me: ohhhhh ha okay. yeah bro im a lot more recognizable than you are lol.

when i said this, he had a good 2 seconds where he looked exactly like that lady thinking of math meme

yes that classic! he did that exact face.

guy: *in much lower voice* heh aw yea- azsexrdcf gkl... *mumbles unintelligibly and just turns around and walks away lol*

that was it! close curtains. throw roses.

i wanted to write about this one because it was so simple, short, and i really found it funny.

this guy saw me, lewis, a person with a clear cut distinguishing physical feature [my arm for new readers >_>] and made a subconscious mental note. later, he saw that same person (me, lewis) with that same clear cut distinguishing physical feature in a second location!

woah! he must’ve thought.

and in this guy’s NPC ass head, he assumed, well i remember that guy, so he must remember me too!

wrong!

sorry, buddy. unlike me, for better or for worse, you do not stick out. i couldn’t pick you out of a lineup. if you went missing, i would have accidentally told the cops i’ve never seen that man before in my life! you look like everybody. i didn’t see you, i didn’t notice you, and i sure as hell didn’t remember you. shit i’m sitting here right now, less than 24 hours later, and i can’t remember what you look like.

i watched him have this realization in real time.

multiple times a year i have people whom (does whom go here or is it who?) i’ve never met come up to me in the most random situations and tell me they remember me from X. we played baseball against you in 4th grade! i had a class with you in college! you tried to fight my friend during a rec league basketball game!

being physically disabled can be exhausting for a multitude of reasons. but one of the perks, besides the fact that i pre-board airplanes with impunity, is that i am indeed unique. my arm, and consequently the body sack it’s attached to, is seared into the mind grapes (if you get that reference hit me up right the fuck now to collect your prize) of thousands of people all over the world, from ymca to shining ymca.

it’s simultaneously one of the annoying and rewarding parts of being physically disabled. depends on the context and my mood and how recently i’ve eaten a cookie.

anyway, that’s it.

no, random generic background character guy, i don’t remember you and i’m not following you.

if anything, you’re following me.

*if you read this far and you’re ever in STL i will legitimately give you all of the city’s best spots and secrets, pls do hmu*
