⚔️  Disney & Dragons  2 ⚔️
Turned some more Disney Heroes into DnD characters for this week’s speedpaint! These designs have probably been my favorite ones so far to put together~ °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°
(I went into detail in the video about what class I made each character into and why, but if you haven’t seen it yet then feel free to make your own guesses based on these artworks!)

Oh my god ryen that was so good!! I was so happy to get a lot of yoongi’s POV in the beginning! And I just love how he is drawing the oc out of herself in so many different ways and how oc is finally getting to know yoongi as he is now. Yoongi telling the reader he likes when she does what she wants has me so soft especially since it’s at least the second time he’s told her she should do what she wants. And then just all the cute little things like cooking together and that water fight and watching something together just gah they’re so cute. and the key omg. Her saying she doesn’t want to overstay, so he responds by basically giving her access to him whenever she wants while her brother is gone (yoongi: don’t overthink it. Me: OVERTHINKS IT). He’s so gone on her. And yoongi telling her to find something she likes while job hunting while he’s pursuing the same and even while he’s afraid it’ll go wrong for him somehow? Just took me out cause I’m at a point in my life right now where can relate to both oc and yoongi on that.
Also jungkook likes going to Joji. Oc had An Experience™ at joji 👀 we getting that story? And now I really need details about what happened after oc left the basketball court. STILL analyzing that scene ryen Im nosy and need to know what happened lol. Literally not above asking if you do another ask 3tan day but you’re good at evading stuff you’re not ready to reveal so I’m ready to just sit and suffer until you write about it but I need you to know the confrontation from basketball crosses my mind at least three times a day and that’s def going to increase with yoongi’s mention of it in this latest part. Ah it’s all just so good, thanks for uploading this today, it was the perfect pick me up after a few rough days for me.
-hitman bang bro anon
awhhh, hitmanbang bro wait lemme give you a warm hug first<33 i'm sorry the past few days haven't been the best. i'm glad to have helped just a little bit.
as far as your review.... OMG??? thank you for all of this i'm floored!! i love writing yoongi's POV so i'm glad ppl are liking them, too. and reader finally getting to know the real yoongi is just aHHH.. yes! reader doing what she wants is clearly so important to him.. when he says something - especially more than once - you know he means it.
ARGH all the domestic moments here :'))) i wanted to tell you all so badly but making them surprises was definitely the ideal choice. and you noticed the significance of the KEYYYYY FCK when that part happened i had to take a second to compose myself slkdfjdks i absolutely love reader's genuine reaction, too LMAO. as far as the job thing, i definitely connect with them, too. gosh, i just really like how encouraging he is..
the joji connection👀 we shall see if there's more to that, for sure. and i know you wanna know about the basketball scene EHEHE we'll see it in due time! NOT THREE TIMES A DAY LMAO oh no.. i am so sorry😭 but seriously, thank you for reading and here's to less rough days<3

First and foremost - HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY XX 🎂 Boy, oh boy - life has been bonkers (yet again) and I just finished catching up on your latest works. Always such a treat and escape from the craziness from everyday life! There's so much that has unfolded in CWM, where do I even start?🥺 My heart is just so full of love for Obi and Ziva, but also Anakin and Ahsoka (everything from silliness to angst, the way you write them is just freaking brilliant). It's just beautiful how much they all care about one another. Your honour, I love them!!!
And DAMN, I'm still not over the ending of Chapter 19 - I just can't believe they get to have their happy ending (I'm such a sap). No one can take that away from them, even fucking Palpatine looming in the back😡 In other news, I was absolutely THRILLED to finally see Anakin smacked with that comeback from Obi-Wan about his relationship with Padmé😈(I mentioned it in a message back in May (I think) - my patience totally paid off). Now that the Jedi Order is allowing relationships (as they should have done a million years ago anyway), I'm just waiting for him to be like "Great timing, my not-so-secret wife is pregnant lol' 🤷🏻‍♀️ Gah, there's so much more I want to cover! Highlights include post-Order 66 (so, so many tears were shed), the daddy fic you just posted (so fluffy, yet so HAWT) and I'm keeping a close eye on the Din Djardin series 👀 I'm relatively new to SW (somehow manage to never watch the movies/shows/etc. until age 25, like I was living under some rock or something), and I just finished season 2 of The Mandalorian and I've literally be devouring all Mando fics under the sun. What can I say, I'm a sucker for space daddies😎 Again, thank you so, so much for what all that you offer to the community💕
THANK YOU! I’m a little late in answering because I am old and I go to bed/get tired at like 8PM 😅😅 but I did see it when you sent it and I appreciate it! ❤
Sorry that life has been overwhelming for you, but glad that you’ve gotten time to take a breath and relax! I too like to unwind by reading mountains of fanfiction 🤤
It’s so fulfilling for me to finally get to this point in the story for them! I’ve had these things planned out for so long, and only one other person (my husband) knows the whole plot, so to post the chapters and see everyone’s reaction is SO awesome. I’ve seen so many people be worried that the Council was going to NOPE them out of the Order, but I couldn’t bear to do that to my kiddos. Nonetheless, they’re not done with the good fight yet, buuuuut that’s a different can of worms. 👀 
And YES thank you! I love writing Anakin and Ahsoka almost as much as I love writing Obi-Wan and Ziva. Their personalities and characters really talk to me when I’m writing, much more than most characters I’ve ever written for. 😊
I was thinking of you when I wrote that comeback. “Oh, shit. I have to write that comeback and it has to be GOOD, I can’t let them down! What can I do to humiliate Anakin? 🤔” 🤣 Poor Anakin, so used to winning. Not this time. He DOES really benefit from all this, though, doesn’t he? 
I’m glad you’re having as much fun reading as I am writing! And thanks for reminding me about Star in the Dust, because I keep forgetting to upload chapters here 🤦‍♀️ And right when it’s about to get spicy, too. 
Don’t feel bad! I too am a Star Wars baby. I almost wish I’d grown up on it like my husband, but then again, it’s so exciting to have everything be fresh and new, too. 
Ooooh let me link you some of my fave Mando fics 👀 Because I used to simp so hard for shiny beskar man lol. 
Dust by etchedbox
Cold Showers by cptnbvcks
Hopefully I Never See You Again by edensong
Mixed Signals by baby_banshee
far from over by mandaoration
And I’m sure you know all about Rough Day 😅
As always thank you so much, so nice to hear from you! 🥰🥰

Rwby Volume 7 Episode 1 “The Greatest Kingdom”-MICKSTERECAP
Tumblr media
Wiggity what, what’s that, its the Micksterecap, wiggity what, what’s that, ITS THE MICKSTERECAP!
HEY everybody,  how y’all been? I’ve been good, working a lot, the usual. For anyone who doesn’t know,all Micksterecaps will be aired a WEEK after they air on Rooster Teeth and Vrv to avoid spoilers, and so I don’t have to tag as spoiler as HEY HEY I don’t get as many notes logically. With that-CLICK THAT READ MORE BUTTON AND LET’S LOOK AT SOME SHIPS!
Tumblr media
HELL YEAH-aircrafts!
Tumblr media
0:41 We then see the first shot of Team RWBYQOMJNR looking ALL sorts of terse about flying into the the occupied as ALL HELL kingdom of Atlas.
Weiss: I’ve never seen our forces deployed so aggressively before.
Ruby: What about at the Vytal festival? Bunch of ships there.
Weiss: Trust me, that was SLIGHTLY less aggressive than how aggressively they’re deployed here, its like coke and pepsi, a SLIGHT differentiation. 
The crew then decide to go seek out Winter(the only Schnee besides Weiss still worth a damn) and then get distance from the fleet and THEN WE SEE-
Tumblr media
1:31 -one HELL of a cityscape, man I’d love to Batman that shit in a video game, just grapplin’ around like a fool, it’d be SWEET. We ALSO see-
Tumblr media
1:54 -JAMES VIA BROADCAST-in all his bearded glory, a beard that I REALLY  hope he doesn’t shave off dramatically to signify that he’s getting better or some shit because DAMMIT-beards are not a symbol of depression their just awesome facial hair! You know what movie I’m talking about.
The crew then get told by the radio-lady that they gotta dock their ship, but its okay because Weiss says her sister will TOTALLY let them sneak in-
Tumblr media
2:57 Winter: -failure to cooperate with Atlas military personnel is a punishable offense. 
Aw man, I wanted to see Winter and have her conspire to murder her and Weiss’s terrible dad. *SIGH* Maybe next episode.
Maria then decides to take them to a totally not important person with relevance to previous characters, docking their ship, and then meeting some of the local flavor of Mantle including:
Tumblr media
3:57 Loose exposition about the current political state that wasn’t lazily explained by a main cast member(for ONCE)-
Tumblr media
Antles Joe, preparing to play his Banjo-
Tumblr media
-random graffiti that the show focuses on for NO foreshadowing reason, none at all so stop talking about it-
Tumblr media
-A camera drone whose JUST two weeks from retirement.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yang: GAH-my visage, it has been stolen!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yang: YEET!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
*SMASH*
Tumblr media
Yang: OOH. Maybe we should pick up the pace?
Ruby: Maybe YOU shouldn’t kick surveillance drones!
Weiss: For real, that shit gets uploaded to the cloud IMMEDIATELY.
Yang: I DON’T LIKE SUPRISE PHOTOS OKAY?!
The group then continues their leasurely stroll and see NOTHING that bums them out about the city they’re i-
Tumblr media
-ooooooooooh right, exploited Faunus workers...’dat not good.
After Blake makes a light comment about the crappyness of the city, they are THEN verbally acosted by-
Tumblr media
-DRUNK GORDON FREEMAN! Man, the wait for the final Half-Life game is messing him up to huh?
Tumblr media
Seriously, TELL ME this dude don’t look like Gordon’s shitburg little brother, its un-CANNY!
Blake being the nice young lady she is apologizes for insulting his hometown, and then Drunk Gordon fucks up in the worst way possible.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
*PTOOIE*
Anytime a character spits after someone talks, you KNOW their gonna start shit.
Tumblr media
Gordon: Shtupid faunus like you, wouldn’t understand-
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It was at this point Drunk Gordon realized, he fucked up.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Weiss: Ain’t NOBODY shit-talk my girlfriend’s girlfriend.
After giving a drunk racist what for, the group then go to-
Tumblr media
6:00 THE HEALING STATION-to replenish the HP and MP! I just hope it works Toad House rules where you don’t gotta pay, at least until the NEXT game where you pay for replenishing, which I GUESS was okay given you can earn more coins but BLEH.
Its here where we meet-
Tumblr media
-PIETRO-absentminded genius of Atlas, and adjuster of Maria’s cybereyes and that is all he is, stop asking if he’s related to someone important SO THERE!
Pietro then gives them the straight shit telling them that after the fall of Beacon, James got SUPER paranoid given that whoever hacked Atlas’s codes was either a genius...or one of their own. And I just can’t even IMAGINE who it could be-Watts, its gonna be Dr.Watts, the trailer pretty much proved it.
Its at this point, where Pietro FINALLY realizes that he’s talking to Team RWBY, and given his absentmindedness he’s the ONLY  person I’ll allow for not recognizing said celebrities right away. And when Yang tries asking  him about Mantle he goes all-
Tumblr media
Pietro:...you PAINTED it...and added bad ass scratch marks!
Yang: Well the scratch marks were an accident, but I’m not sure why you’d care abou-HOOBAZAWAH?!
The team is surprised he knows them(for some reason despite celebrity status) due to his daughter telling him about them, said daughter baring...NO meaning...to...the plot(KEEP IT TOGETHER MICK). Right before Rubalubes asks about his daughter-RANDOM GRIMM ENCOUNTER TIME-to which EVERYONE is fully armed fo-
Tumblr media Tumblr media
10:07 Blake: DAMMIT-my blade is still symbolically broken, guess its bullets only.
And then Team RWBYQOMJNR just kics EVERY Grimm’s ass, Ren goes that way, Ruby goes the other, just a BILLION awesome attacks I’m not even gonna BOTHER clipping because this is just a still recap blog post and their all really fast and the next episode is 20 minutes after I’m finishing this so don’t call me lazy.
HOWEVER-I will show ONE awesome clip, LASER TIME BABY!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
11:45 NICE cuh-leeeeeeeeeeeeeean cut!
Then lasers here, lasers there, LASERS EVERYWHERE! WHO-is the bad ass laser lady? Like I EVEN need to FUCKING say it!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
12:15 Ruby:...Penny?!
Jaune: Oh so YOUR almost-girlfriend gets to come back to life, that’s fair.
SHE’S ALIVE MOTHER FUCKERS! Brought back to life by sacrificing a Maximal protoform, ALSO giving her flight capabilities! And yes I’m comparing Penny to Optimus and you can’t stop me.
And the next scene is JUST adorable.
Tumblr media
Penny: Sal-
Tumblr media
Ruby:...huh?
Tumblr media
Penny: UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
Tumblr media
Ruby:(...OH SHIT-)
Tumblr media
Penny: -TATIONS!
Tumblr media
*PFFT* Paused at the RIGHT moment yo!
Tumblr media
Ruby: AAAAAAAAAAAAH-INCOMING GIRLFRIEND!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ruby: Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh.
Precious.
Tumblr media
13:04 Pietro(who is also her dad if you weren’t paying attention) than reveals that after the fall of Beacon, they were able to recover her Spark Chamber, I MEAN Core from the arena and fixed her RIGHT up! Even gave her flight abilities that look NOTHING like in the manga, but that’s loose canon at best so whatevs.
After Penny flies off to fight the rest of the Grimm, Nora then channels the ENTIRE Rwby fandom in one sentence:
Tumblr media
13:46 Nora: I can’t tell if I completely understand what is going on, or have like a MILLION questions!
After that craziness, the team then follows Professor Polendina to his house where nothing else bad happe-
Tumblr media Tumblr media
SHIT-anime streaks, BRACE FOR IMPACT!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
14:15
DAMN-critical Dexterity fail all around.
Tumblr media
Close it out with the team being arrested for saving the day because television, and that’s EP ONE yo! Really fun, glad Penny’s back, and can’t wait to see Ironwood either apologize or shittalk the team for doing their jobs because as said, TELEVISION! EITHER WEITHER-see you next week on MICKSTERECAP!

what program/brushes do you use for your art? it's so damn pretty
Easy Paint tool SAI and the default pen/brush/marker tools, mostly! and thank you!!! ;^;
Anon said:When I was a kid I would've had a crush on Akane
HECK that’s such a compliment!! Thank you!!!
Anon said:Couldn't Akane technically Control/move Kiri's hair since it's dyed? I mean it's like his hair is stained meaning it's not alive! so Akane finally warms up to him and messes with him or plays with his hair?
She can and she did! I drew her doing just that both in the first and in the fourth thing I posted about her! :D
Anon said:okay i don't know if this is coming through but i have just looked through your entire blog(can only go 4 years back) and let me just say you are wonderful, I absoluty LOVE how you paint/draw like its sooo pretty??? like dnjwcfehbi i cant describe it, (part 1) || like you are wonderful, I absolutely LOVE how you paint/draw like it's so pretty??? like dnjwcfehbi I can't describe it like it's absolutely Fabulous, Stunning, Amazing, Lovely and it looks so smoooooth like what????how??But anyways love your art and love you keep being Amazing! (part 2)
AH GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! This is such a sweet ask to get TT^TT (and you can only go 4 years back because the blog is 4 years old! Can’t believe you actually went through it all!!)
Anon said:I really love your art style and your comics are so cute and I love how you draw older Bakugou and Kirishima!! It’s all so wonderful! Thank you for sharing it with everyone!
Oh man thank you!! ;;; I’m so happy yo know you like them!!!!!! TTOTT
Anon said:the level of FLUFF and KOOKIENESS and SOFT and MARSHMALLOW and MY HEART CAN'T TOOK THIS IS is so much I could die.
PLEASE DON’T DIE I LOVE YOU !!!!! 
Anon said:I love everything about Akane's au. Her, her interactions with Bakugou, how she dislikes Kirishima but is beginning to warm up to him, the boys' aged-up designs. Everything. It's all amazing. Thank you for bringing it into my life!
Nggghhhhhhhh no anon thank you for liking her!!!!
Anon said:Currently procrastinating on my essay to go through your blog because it de-stresses me and I love your art so much like seriously h e l p
GAH THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! /////
Anon said:There's something I'm not understand in your AU children kiribaku. She adopted by bakugo or she is a kid bakugou have with someone. ( I'm really really sorry for my English )
Adopted!
Anon said:Your comics are so cute and funny! I'm loving the story with Akane, the last update was great! I really like the way you draw the characters, like your style is so nice. Thanks for making my day better with your art!
G o d thank you So Much!!!!!!
Anon said:Akane is adorable, and I absolutely love the comics that you upload of her, but also on top of that your mohawk Bakugo has cleared my skin, watered my crops, and brought me back from the dead at LEAST twice.
I’M REAL GLAD TO HEAR THAT because mohawk Bakugou owns my whole soul and it’s nice to know I’m not alone in that hahaha
Anon said:What are some ways Akane messes with Kiri (or used to) when he wears red clothes? Does she often do that? Does she do it when Baku's not home, or when he is so that she can hammer in just how much she dislikes Kiri? Has she ever done anything major that caused her to be really reprimanded by Baku, but being the best person in the world Kiri did not get angry?
She really only ever gets pissy (or used to! they’re starting to get along better !!!) at Kiri when she feels jealous for whatever reason, and that doesn’t happen as often as it seems through my doodles, so it’s not like she’s always antagonistic towards him! Mostly she just ignores him, so no, it doesn’t happen often at all! And she’s never gone further than messing his hair up or tugging a bit at his clothes, since she doesn’t have the strength to move Kiri all that much haha the only reason she managed to have him fall the first time was because he was balancing already, but generally Kiri weighs way too much for her to move him around or pull at the red stuff he’s wearing enough for him to notice it all that much 
anyway, Baku never reprimended her for it - not more than he did in the first comic I posted with them, at least, specifically because the damage she can make is so minor that Kiri and Baku barely consider it something to tell her off for... if she were ever to act that way towards someone she might actually hurt (say, a kid her own age) then Baku might reprimend her more seriously, but as long as she’s just tugging at Kiri’s clothes they don’t see it as anything worth fighting her over :D
Anon said:Just sent an ask, so forgive me for this one, but I'd love to get this straight: in the Akane AU Kiri and Baku graduated and share an apartment, are madly into each other, but they neither has made a move on the other yet? Perhaps that should be sad, but it's 100% adorable.
I know I shouldn’t say this as I made the au myself, but I find the arrangement pretty dang adorable too haha they act like a married couple anyway, so it’s like... pining while the rest of the world already considers them an item? and the pining is mostly about stuff like ahhhh I wanna tell him I love him or ahhhhhh god I wanna kiss him, but then they’ll fall asleep on the couch together or hold hands just for the hell of it or cook for each other or make plans that always involve each other and all in all act as each other’s partner, so it’s mostly just like *Kaminari voice* “God these oblivious idiots” hahaha
Anon said:That latest Akane comic melted my heart like you often do. Though for a moment, I expected Eijirou to say "I don't want Katsuki to be my dad, I want him to be my daddy" XD Though that would not sound like him. Props for his adorable interactions with Scarlet Death Queen Witch.
Anon you don’t get it that’s exactly why I had him say “be his son” instead of “be my dad” LMAO it was like, a conscious wording decision hahaha thank you so much for liking my girl, btw!!!
Anon said:Fran! I was just wondering if you would be willing to post your Demon Kiri and Angel Baku art on Redbubble? I'd love to buy a print of it!! Totally understand if not. Also your newer Akane comics are killing me, they're so damn cute!! So yeah love you and your beautiful art! Hope you have an awesome year!!
I CAN TRY I think I did try last time I updated my rb? But the format of the pic made it hard to use it for a lot of things so I gave up??? I can try again tho!!! Thank you for being interested in buying it!!! And thank you for liking Akane too!!!!!
Anon said:is katsuki and kirishima not together in the adopted child comics or is there gonna be a plot to them getting together? 👀
I’m not really writing anything cohesive for it so I wouldn’t call it a plot point, but yeh they still aren’t together! And I wanna have them get to the point in which they are together!!! :D
Anon said:I'm gonna die why do you do this with your adorable art my god
PLEASE!!!!! DON’T DIE!!!!!!!!!!!
Anon said:Your Akane + KiriBaku comics are adorable and I love the relationships that exist between them. I can't wait to see more of them!
Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!! I hope I won’t disappoint!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anon said:I love your art so much!! Especially the little Akane au (so freaking cute!!!!). Random question: if you’ve ever seen Lucifer, who do you think would fit his character? Have an awesome day!
I haven’t seen it, sorry :((( but thank you for liking my girl!!!!!!
Anon said:I apologize if this has already been thought of but i feel as though when akane gets older and if she decides to be a hero, part of her costume could include useful red objects mayhaps?? Such as a shield or daggers or handcuffs so if there’s a lack of red around her she isn’t in a complete ditch. But i love your work sm ahhh💕💕
Yes!!! That’s the plan!!!!! I don’t think I’ll ever draw a teen version of her character but I MIGHT mention this idea in the current timeline, I like the idea so much TT^TT
Anon said:Hey there, I am absolutely obsessed with Akane like I love her so much wow but anyways I was wondering if you've ever drawn tododeku/ will in the future?
Thank you!!!! And I have drawn them in the past (under my tododeku tag!) and I might draw them again in the future, though currently I’m in a pretty big izu//ocha mood so I dunno when that will happen!
Anon said:I love your art so much like??? Help???
THANK YOU TTATT
Anon said:Y'know it could be gayer c'mon
This ask has been in my inbox for 17 days and I still don’t know what it means ??? but I laughed a lot when I got it so thank you anon and yes, definitely, everything could always be gayer that’s just how the world goes
Anon said:I swear you drew an older version of the krbk kids and it wasn't a fever dream I'm currently frantically searching through your blog rn help
I DID that post is CURSED anon, you can look it up through any of the tags I used to tag it and it won’t show up it won’t and I don’t know why!! I always lose it exactly because of this reason I have zero idea why it does this but??? okay I guess???????????
anyway if you still want it it’s here
Anon said:If Akane can control red things, does she low-key also have control over things that are pink and orange depending on how reddish in hue they are? I love her btw. Such a smol bean who could probably kick my ass!
What a good question you got there!! She has control over everything that has a color that falls in the red wavelength of the visible spectrum - that does include certain tones of pink and certain tones of orange, but there’s a point where orange gets too yellow or pink gets too white that her powers stop working. As long as the red in the color is more than any other hue, though, her powers work! 
Anon said: im just imagining if baku takes akane with him when he is going to work and is there with kiri and akane help kiri with his hair bc she is suffering when he tries to style it himself
Once they start getting along better Akane and Kiri actually start helping each other with their hair! They’re both very particular about it so they understand each other as far as that topic goes haha
Anon said:Hi I just wanted to say I’m really enjoying what you are doing in your latest drawing. The contrast with the thick sketchy lines and the thinner crisp ones and the spaces that have no defined line! It’s cool to see you experiment with your line work while staying true to your natural style! Sorry if this came off weird but I love seeing talented artists try pushing the boundaries of their style it’s really visually/conceptually interesting! :)
AH MAN thank you so much I’m so happy to know you like that tool TT^TT it’s really super comfy to use, so it’s nice to know someone finds it visually appealing too!!! thank you!!!!!
Anon said:Is there any chance you could make a masterpost of the aus you do? It's a lot to scroll down to the beginning of a concept u have sometimes and it can be unclear when they start
They all have a tag they’re under, tho? If I’ve made more than one post about them! I have so many AUs going around that making a masterpost with all of them is a bit... mostly so since I don’t know for how many I’ll actually go back on! But if the tags don’t really work for you (generally the link is gonna look like https://franeridart.tumblr.com/tagged/[here goes the tag]/chrono to have it in chronological order) then I can try? I can’t promise I’ll find a comfortable way to do this, tho orz sorry!
Anon said:This might be an odd ask but does Akane like Jirou? I feel like they would get along really well. And how about her grandma Mitsuki? Since she takes after Katsu who takes after her, they could make an adorably angry trio
She hasn’t spent much time with Jirou yet so right now she’s mostly meh about her (though right now she only actually likes Bakugou, and she’s warming up to Kiri, but that’s about it). She doesn’t mind Mitsuki, but she hasn’t spent too long with her either! She yells a bit too much at her dad tho, which Akane isn’t particularly fond of (protective bean that she is, she doesn���t get that that’s just their way of communicating just yet), so out of her grandparents she prefers Masaru, after all~

Mineo Enomoto Character CD Mini-Drama Translation
T/N: This is a translation of the mini-drama that comes with Mineo’s character CD. Though a subbed fan video may come later, I haven’t uploaded the audio alongside this. If you buy the CD (Animate | CDJapan (Ltd Edition) | Play-Asia) or already have the track available, you can follow along while reading this! Thanks also to @jokertrap-ran for helping me proofread!
Translation key: Ichika’s thoughts: ellipses... | (Mineo’s thoughts) | [sound effects]
A Talk Between Two in the Steam
(Mineo Enomoto. 23 years old. Spring’s finally come for me too, and I’ve been spending happy days with my girlfriend. It’s truly a rose-colored life!)
(As for the love bible I stuck with, ‘100 Heart-Jerking Love Confessions’, I haven't opened it again. The reason why being… Now, by my own determination, I'm climbing up the stairway of adulthood! That's right. The stairway of adulthood that is traveling to the hot springs with my girlfriend...!)
Ngh… All right. The hostess left. God, I've been holding back since earlier. I…feel like I'm gonna explode...
...
Heh. So you noticed too, huh? It's just the two of us now… So… it's okay if I don't hold back anymore, right...?
Then… I'll say it.
--AT LONG LAST! SETTING FOOT UPON THE PLACE WHERE DATE MASAMUNE AND COMPANY ACHIEVED THEIR DREAMS - WE'VE ARRIIIIVED!!
Oh, man! I’ve wanted to try coming here for so long! I'm so glad I boldly launched the suggestion at you! It'd be boring going alone after all, y’know? I'm really grateful that you decided to come along with me.
...
Yeah, yeah! When Masamune and his company were here, his role in defending against and resisting outside invaders is what revived them…!
Huh? I'm as excited as a kid?
Hmph - well, I'm sorry. I'm a kid who admires Masamune so much I have an eyepatch for him after all. I mean, him being from the Sendai era would more than grab my attention…
But that's fine! I’m here with the same kindred spirit as him after all! Even without words, we'll be able to understand each other! This is - the MASAMUNE SPIRIT!
Whoops, I got kinda fired up there. Let's go bathe separately first!
(Hooo! The smell of cypress is real soothing…)
(A chance to be able to take a carefree bath like this rarely comes by… With the trip in general, I asked where she wished she could go, wanting to bring her there as a man should. But we ended up coming here ultimately.)
(But still, she came with me without pulling a single face.)
(Even though I didn't know what a mashed green soybean flavored shake would taste like, it was so cool when we both took no notice just drinking from our straws…! We tried to drink it at the same time and we ended up bumping our foreheads. But, when we looked up at each other, and started laughing after that…! Eheh! Eheheheheheh!)
(But, man, her eyelashes are so long... I couldn’t help but notice when she was looking at the shake… Ugh! What am I, Shiraishi now?!)
(...No. That’s not it. She's the only one I end up making observations of. That's just ‘cause I love her and I can't help but do that. In other words - I just feel like saying something…)
(Traveling with my girlfriend is THE BEEEEST...!!)
...Ah! Over here, over here! How was it? Did you enjoy the hot spr--! CU--!
(Gh! W-Wow… She looks amazing wearing a yukata…! It-can't-be-it-looks-too-good-on-her-more-than-that-it's-seriously-so…!)
E-Eh?! Oh, n-no no, it's nothing! More importantly, how were the hot springs? Were you able to relax in there?
Yeah, I feel you. The cypress floating in the bath gave it a classic Japanese feel, didn't it?
Ah. I saw the arcade corner too while I was waiting, but this also seems pretty promising. We might as well, so what game do you…?
Oh? The photo booth together?
Ohh, you wanna take some pictures? Well, we can write words onto them, so it’ll be something to commemorate our trip! Heheh. I have to brag about this to Takeru and Yanagi…!
Whooa…! So this is the famous… Ah, I’m not so good at handling complicated controls, so I’ll leave that to you!
Even though… I wonder what people who have it all would think in a situation like this… Ah, nothing, just talking to myself.
Oh, are we taking one now? What pose should we do?
Ehhh…? Clapping our hands together softly then making our faces small after? That seems cool. Let’s try that out!
[click!]
Wow! Look at those visual effects! Well, your face is small and cute to begin with, though--
Ow! What was that for?! It’s not something to hit me over!
Huh? Could it be you’re…being shy...?
! What’s with that…? If you suddenly make a face like that…even I’ll--
[click!]
Ah--?! I wasn’t looking at the camera…! Right, we’re still in the middle of taking pics, aren’t we? For a pose... Doing a generic peace sign should be a safe bet, right?
[click!]
The next one’s the last. Then we gotta go out with a bang. Plus we’ve come this far… Should we do a Date Masamune-like pose here?
Huh? ...You wanna take one with us holding hands…?
! What’s with that adorable request…?! Gah! If you’re okay with my hand, then do as you like!
O-Oh… I should sit closer, huh…
...You know. I’m...really happy right now.
[click!]
Next comes writing on them, yeah? There are two copies, so let's take one each and show what we wrote on them to each other afterwards! It’ll be more exciting that way!
First things first are the icon stamps, so...
Hehe. Damn… I’m having so much fun. I’m seriously so glad I got to travel with you! Coming to a place you like with the person you love is the best!
Huh? What’s up? ...We only have a bit of time left to doodle on them?
Ack, s-seriously?! This wasn’t the time to feel so moved inside! There’s still so much I wanna write…!
[stylus tapping]
No! Not yet! Don’t give up, Mineo! The first photo booth session for fulfilled-real-lifers I get in my life is the one thing I can’t let go to ruin…! I’ll pour all my feelings of love into this…!!
[frantic stylus tapping]
Th-That was close…! I barely managed to finish writing… Did you finish?
Hehh. That’s a real piece of work. Well, I’m only able to say that now. I fashioned a considerable tour de force in there myself.
Oh, they’ve come out. Let’s see, let’s see...
Ah--! You have an eyepatch too…! I see. You drew on one with a pen, huh? Lining it up like this… It's like a matching couple look…
Eh? That’s what you meant to…?
! N-Now, you! Just what’re you trying to do, making me so happy?!
Eh--? My pictures?
W-Wait, don’t yell so loud…! There wasn’t any time writing it, and I lost myself getting into it. When it suddenly stopped, I… ‘I love you most in the world’, is what I wanted I write…
...Eh? You’re happy?
Ha. I see. If that makes you happy too, then I’m glad.
Whenever we look at these, we’ll remember today. It’s...kinda weird! Us having a calm time like this...didn’t use to be a given, either. Back then, we went through pain, through sadness. Even now, there are people out there desperately doing their best. Everyone has hard times to overcome, and their daily lives to get on with now.
...Ah, my bad. I got a little solemn there! Wait, what time is it now…? They said there’d be dinner at 7, didn’t they?
All right! There’s ox tongue calling our name! Let’s hurry...!
Ahh, I’m absolutely stuffed! That ox tongue was so thick and tasty! My feet went on their own and got three helpings for dinner! Ah, it was tough…
[tea being poured]
Oh! Thanks!
[sip]
Going back to our room after a feast and having you pouring tea for me… Maaan, it’s just perfect!
Oh? What now? That’s true… We’ve done what there is to do outside the ryokan for the most part…
(...)
(!)
(...!!)
(Crap…! What do I do?! I don’t know what we should do now that it’s just us two in the room…!)
(Not to mention, looking right at her in the eye while she’s in her yukata makes my heart pound-- Ah, wait. It’s awkward to keep silent. Umm, uhhh…!)
(Ah! Why don't we sleep sooner! No! It's still 9 - that's way too early!)
(What else could we do… Nnrgh…! Do you wanna explore the ryokan! What am I, some primary school kid?!)
Eh?! You brought playing cards…?
Oh… OHOHO, nice! Why don't we play old maid or something!
(Phew! What a lifesaver…!)
(...No. Hold on. Could this be…she saw me struggling and threw me a bone when I needed it? Things like this happen every time…)
(She…must be thinking that…)
…Hey. ...I, uh… I'm probably just a kid in your eyes, aren't I…?
I mean, today… I wanted to escort you from the beginning, but at some point I just started having fun by myself. I wanted to…be classier doing this. Heh… Even though I think it’s shameful even by my own standards…
[table slam; rattling]
Whoa! Y-You scared me… Eh, w-was that something to get angry over…?
! It's okay if I'm not an adult…? But I'm the older one here. At some point if things keep going like this--
Eh! I-I get it - calm down…!
Being in high spirits together with me - is fun…?
...I also enjoy being with you best. I wrote that on our pictures earlier, too. That you're the one who I…love most in the world, so…
Hm? That's…the one we took earlier, isn't it? Ohh. We were so pressed to get to dinner, we didn't really get to see what we wrote on it.
Ah! You wrote something on it, too? Let's see… Mineo, I...love you…
Th-This…! …!
Really? You also wrote you love me. To think that we get along even on this… Eheh. Man, how much do we love each other?
Hah… I'm sorry. Of course that'd make you angry. You said you love me as I am now after all. I'm not me when I force and overstretch myself. That's what you mean, right?
Hey. Come over here a bit.
You know, I… keep feeling like I'm acing an exam when I'm with you. Just being able to travel with you made me ecstatic, and when I saw you climbing over the rock in your yukata as well, it was…kind of…different from how you normally are. It got my heart racing. When I sat closer to you when we took pictures in the photo booth, stuff like the smell of your shampoo seriously got to me.
Then, uh… I'm saying this now, but… The truth is, I...felt a little like wanting to… k...kiss you...
Eh--! Stupid! Don't say stuff like you'd be glad even if I did! Don’t underestimate me. Now see here - men easily get carried away! You're someone I…want to treasure.
… [hand holding]
…!
You're…always like that.
No matter how much I run away… you chase me, hold onto me, and don't let me go. You got more guts than your outward appearance suggests. You're a cool woman.
Though this is the last time I'm making sure… It's really okay?
Heh. I got it. Then…
[kiss]
Your heart's pounding... Hehe. Mine is too.
But, you know. We're okay like this. Having the same feelings, we reach an understanding, and move forward together. Going like that suits us most. Though I end up putting on airs in front of you, saying what I really think like this and being natural at times is also important.
Same goes for you. If you have something you want to say, say it without holding back.
Oh? That face means there’s something you wanna say...! C’mon, what is it? Try saying it!
...Eh? ...W-...Wait a sec… I-I might've misheard you… J-Just now, what...did you say?
Gh--! Y-You want to sleep together...?! Wai… I-Isn't the hurdle suddenly too high?! Are we going that far up the stairway of adulthood and the like...?! I mean, it's not like I didn't think of that at all, but - I thought of taking it slow and building up to the climax where--!
...Eh? …Next to each other?
..Ahhh, so that'd be, uh… Sleeping snuggled up in the same futon… That kind of sleeping together?
...Ha. Hahaha! AHAHAHAHA! U-Uh, of course...! I thought that's what you meant! I-If that's what you'd like, we can do that however much you want! I’ve done that with my little sister! I'm her companion when I babysit!
H-Hey, hey, you don't need to pull my sleeve for me to...
Huh? ...Hey... Your face is - looking kinda scary...
Not the same as my sister…? Wh-- Ah-- Oh, no! When I said that I didn't mean it like...!
Wha-- Oh, w-whoa, whoa...!
Uh-- Umm… I made a slip-up, earlier. I apologized, so...please cheer up.
C’mon, it's not that I treat you like a little sister...! Mnghh…!
...I got it. It'll be fine if we sleep together like lovers, right? Uh… Then…
[shifting; rustling]
…How's this? It's an arm pillow. Th-This is - only something lovers do, right?
Gh--! Is that it…?! You little…! Even though this is plenty given the situation…! If you make too many demands now… That mouth of yours? Will be sealed shut.
!
Ha. Jeez… I understand how you feel veeery well. Even for me… To be this close to you, and not do anything about it…is impossible.
[kiss]
For all of today, and until morning comes… I won't let you go.

I Knew You Were Trouble When You Walked In
Meeting a sweet, attractive, customer at work is an innocent enough coincidence. What could go wrong?
Home Is Wherever I'm With You - Part 1
This story starts off a little sweet and tame, but builds. I wouldn't call it a slow burn, but it might take a few chapters to get the feel for this fic. This is just where the story started, bear with me. If you'd like a list of known future tags/warnings, shoot me a message because they contain spoilers.
If you'd like to be tagged in subsequent chapters let me know. I have six chapters written so far, I'll be uploading them on a random as-I-have-time/energy-basis.
I would not have been able to write this story without guidance and encouragement from my wonderful, infinitely talented, and long-suffering betas @justawaywardwinchestergirl and Edge_of_Clairvoyance
I've tagged a few people who showed specific interest in the one thing I posted like a year ago; I have no idea if this is something you'd like, so I won't bother you with any other tags in the following chapters unless you let me know you want to be tagged.
This is my first A/B/O fic. I never thought I would be attempting this, but the story has been building in my head the last several months. It is just a story I wrote for myself. I wouldn't say it's traditional anything, although there is smut in later chapters. I do my best to separate the smut from the story so those who want to skip those scenes can do so without it interfering with following the plot. Or, I guess if you only want to read the smut with minimal plot, it would work for that too . . .
Warnings: A/B/O dynamics, Meet cute, Fluff, Possibly triggering if you've worked customer service, Mild Hurt/Comfort
“One large americano with a vanilla scone…” the customer in question came to retrieve their order, barely sparing her a glance. Well, they hadn't yelled at her, or tried to hit on her; she was going to call that interaction a win. She was still trying to shake off her encounter with one particular alpha earlier, whose deodorant had been overpowered by the sour tang of his ill-temper - the scent of which was still lingering in the air.
Her migraine was starting to flare up again and she still had several hours to go before this nightmare of a shift was over. She saw yet another customer approach out of the corner of her eye and mustered up the brightest smile she could before turning to face them. It wasn't their fault she was exhausted and in pain, or that she'd had to deal with a string of rude customers.
“Good afternoon! What can I get you?” her heart stuttered, but she was pleased to note she kept her voice and facial expression steady. He had to be one of the most beautiful people she'd ever seen. He had a smile for her as well and she braced herself against the counter, taking a moment to catch her breath under the force of it, combined with dazzling hazel eyes, gorgeous hair, and the perfect amount of scruff.
“Thank you, I'd like a medium black coffee. For here, please.”
“Coming right up! Would you like to try a quinoa muffin? The cranberry orange is delicious . . .”
His expression turned thoughtful and she found it almost as adorable as his smile. “Sure, why not? Thank you,”
“May I have your name for the order?” She waited expectantly.
“It's Sam.”
“That'll be $3.83, Sam.”
He gave her a five and declined the change.
She was granted another smile and a thanks when she presented him with his order a couple of minutes later and he took it to sit alone at one of the tables, grabbing two cream packets on his way over. In between helping other customers, she caught a glimpse of him reading from a worn, hardback book, taking careful sips of his coffee, but she didn't see him leave.
That cute guy with the nice smile stuck with her as a bright spot in her otherwise dreary day, but she didn't think much else about it.
Next week her Thursday shift was going a bit better, but that didn't mean she didn't get a thrill when she saw chestnut brown hair and twinkling eyes over the shoulder of the customer she was currently serving.
“Well, hello, Sam! What can I get you today?”
She was rewarded with a grin like pure sunshine, and she was surprised to note his eyes seemed more blue this time. “A medium black coffee, please. And, that quinoa muffin was delicious, did you say they come in other flavors?”
“Let's see, besides the cranberry orange, we have blueberry lemon, cinnamon apple, and coffee nut.”
“I think I'll try the apple - for here, please,”
She was heating up his muffin when he cleared his throat behind her. She turned to see a bashful smile. Gah, did he possess any facial expressions not specifically designed to steal her breath away?
“You know my name, but I don't have yours . . .”
“Oh,” She reflexively reached down to fix her nametag. The darn thing was always getting twisted around until it was unreadable. “Y/N, sorry about that.”
“No worries, just be glad I wasn't with the name tag police, I would've had to write you up,” the sarcastic humor on his face made it difficult for her to rein in her laughter to a polite chuckle.
She handed him his order and he looked - adorably - chagrined, “Sorry, that was terrible. I'm ashamed.”
“Not at all!” He gave her a reproving look that, even in jest, left her weak-kneed, “well, maybe a little, but there's no need to apologize: it *was* funny,”
“You're too kind. I'll see you next time, Y/N,”
Next time!? She would not say no to seeing him again, but did that mean he was specifically looking forward to seeing her again? Was this going to be a regular Thursday thing? She wouldn't say no to that either. She felt a fluttering in her stomach causing her to muse ‘uh oh, Y/N, I think you're in trouble. . .’
She couldn't believe she'd let her hopes get up so high, but she didn't even want to admit to herself how disappointed she was when the next Thursday came and went without any sign of her favorite customer.
The following Monday was hellish, and she could have sworn her week just went downhill from there. She couldn't help waking up a little hopeful that Thursday that Sam would make an appearance. She could use a pick me up.
Those good thoughts were driven from her head the moment she walked through the door. Her manager, Terri, was there freaking out because the GM had popped in for a surprise visit. The manager started in on her, insisting that she was late, even though she'd definitely arrived two minutes early. Terri then followed her around as she set up the store to open, criticizing every move she made. “Is it so hard to just use common sense?”
She swore she was going to end up punching her manager, or yelling back before the day was done, and she could not afford to be fired.
Then her coworker showed up (late, as usual, but of course Terri had nothing to say about that) and proceeded to spend most of the morning whining about personal stuff and avoiding doing any work, instead of actually pitching in to help her.
Of course the morning rush was brutal and didn't even slow down enough she could take a lunch break. Finally, a customer who had clearly asked for an iced mocha, went ballistic because, “I ordered a hot mocha! It's freezing in here, why would I want it iced? Are you deaf, or just too stupid to understand the difference between hot and cold?”
Terri swooped in, “I'm so sorry for the mix up! We'll definitely make it right, your hot mocha will be on the house! I'll make it myself; it'll be out right away.”
Y/N didn't hear any more, because she was heading for the restroom trying to keep her head up and hold back the tears until she reached her refuge. Damn it! The ladies room was locked. Not only would she have to wait, but whoever was in there would be able to see she was on the verge of crying when they passed her coming out. She turned, not sure where to go, and ran into a solid chest.
Two hands loosely gripped her upper arms and held her carefully as she caught her balance and looked up into Sam's face. His expression was full of concern (Yep, still too beautiful for words for those keeping score at home) and he didn't make a move to let go for a moment. “Hey, are you okay?”
She'd had such a suck-fest of a day, and he felt like safety, and care, and . . . home.  She nodded and then, ridiculously, the dam broke and she just burst into tears. He held her closer to him and shifted one of his arms so it was supporting her back. Within a couple minutes, she became aware that she was sobbing in a customer’s arms and, out of sheer mortification, forced herself to regain control, managing to mostly stop the tears. “Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!”
“You don't have to apologize.”
“That was so unprofessional . . . And I got your shirt wet,” she pointed to the damp patch in the middle of Sam's shirt, horrified.
“Honestly, it's fine, you've obviously had a day.”
She let out a weak chuckle. “You could say that.”
He steadied her and tentatively let go. He reached out a hand as if to touch her face, but pulled back at the last second, so that just the tips of his fingers brushed her cheek, wiping at a tear that was still streaking down it, “Do you have a break or something any time soon?”
She nodded, trying not get lost in his kaleidoscope eyes, “I'm supposed to get fifteen minutes for lunch.”
“Would you see if you can take it now, and join me?”
“I would be interrupting your reading time, I'm afraid . . .”
“You wouldn't be interrupting anything. If you don't feel up to it right now, I completely understand; I won't be offended, but I'd like it if you sat with me.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Sam nodded, “Thank you. I'll meet you in that corner booth?”
“Okay.” they both seemed hesitant to leave, but with a little nod Sam got in line to order, and Y/N went to let Terri know she was taking her lunch break.
Terri gave her a judgemental look meant to make her feel like she was slacking, but even her sour manager couldn't deny she was overdue for her break or legally say anything about it.
It was when she was grabbing her lunch from the break room that she stopped in her tracks as it dawned on her why that feeling of warmth and safety had come over her when Sam had touched her; why she even now felt uncomfortable standing still when he'd instructed her to do something. Her new friend was alpha. She really was in trouble.
But did that really change anything? She'd never met an alpha she felt that comfortable around - that's why it hadn't clicked right away. He was sweet and kind, and thanks to the best suppressants she could afford, she was safe from unwanted advances. And she was in a crowded coffee shop for crying out loud! She deliberated only a second, before heading over to wait at the corner booth.
Sam slid into the other side of the booth a few moments later with his plate and coffee. “I'm afraid you're probably sick of everything here, but I got two of the coffee nut muffins, just in case.”
She gave him a genuine smile, “I'll have one, thank you very much.” She caught a better glimpse of the book he had tucked under his arm. “The Two Towers? Are you a Tolkien fan?”
“Yeah, just rereading it for fun. You?”
She nodded, enthusiastically, “I love them. The movies are great, but they really short-changed several of the characters; there's just no beating the originals.”
“Oh, they butchered Faramir, for one!”
“Seriously! I was so pissed about that! I can watch them now, though. It sorta taught me not to demand perfection of movie adaptations. You have to treat them as separate entities. If you can't, don't bother watching them, you'll just be disappointed.”
“That sounds like good advice.” he chuckled.
“Sorry, I know I get too into that sort of thing.”
“Please, you don't have to apologize! It's refreshing, honestly, I've never been able to talk about Lord of the Rings around my brother.”
“Oh? Because he doesn't approve? Or he has a well-worn copy of the Silmarillion, and speaks Sindarin?”
Sam burst into surprised laughter, “Um, the first one, definitely! Although, I don't know, he's becoming more open about the ‘nerdy’ things he likes these days.”
“That's good. Life's too short to not enjoy the things you love. Are you and your brother close?”
“Yeah. I mean, we lost our mom young, and our dad passed a while back. We're all we've got.”
“I'm sorry.”
“Don't be, he's pretty great. Just don't tell him I said that.”
“I would never!”
“What about you? You close with your family?”
“Um, I used to be. I haven't seen any of them in a while.” She didn't mean to sit awkwardly quiet after that, but she couldn't think of anything else to say.
He seemed to read in her face the desire for a subject change, “So do you?
“Do I?”
“Have a well-worn copy of the Silmarillion and speak Sindarin?
It was her turn to laugh, “I always meant to read it, but I could never finish it.”
Their talk moved to other books on their favorites list and they were able to find quite a few that they had in common. Finally, she looked at her watch, “Shoot! I have to go, before Terri has a conniption. Will you be here next week?” The question had slipped out before she could think better of it, but he didn't seem to think it was weird or prying.
“I'm not sure. I travel for work, and I never know when I'm heading out. If I'm in town, I promise I'll stop by.”
She smiled, “Thank you, Sam. Today was going pretty terribly before you got here. Not everyone would do what you did.”
“I'm glad I was there to help. You made my day too, you know? I'll see you next week, hopefully.”
She waved and rushed back behind the counter before Terri could come looking for her. Not even her snippy boss could bring her down the rest of the day. A hot, kind, sweet alpha, that made her feel safe, bought her muffins, whose smile was like the sun coming up, and he was a book nerd? Oh yes, she was in deep trouble.
This way to Part 2

What’s in the Box || Event
There’s a lull of silence, a break in the buzz of excited and nervous whispers, at Witches’ Brew Tavern when Pitch arrives. The police have cordoned off the area where the parcel was originally found. The brown paper packaging resting in shreds around the box, the letter that came alongside it has been opened but remains in place to be read by the addressed. There’s a crowd gathering and whilst the police are doing their best to move people along, quickly and without causing a mass panic, the number only seems to increase as the minutes tick by. Leaving crowd control to the police would buy precious seconds with the package, but the noise alone is enough to shatter one’s concentration. The police are concerned with keeping as many people safe as possible but despite their best efforts their warnings fall on deaf ears. Bobby Barkley spares a moment to look over to Pitch, as if pleading for a moment of their time to help with the matter at hand. The high pitched beeping of the package serves as a looming reminder that there truly isn’t a second to spare.
Tumblr media
Pitch nervously adjusted his cowl as he attempted to push the worry away to keep his focus on the task at hand. Sure, they would have gotten Helen out and urged her to safety, there's no way she was going to leave that place... putting even more pressure on an already stressful situation.
He was sure she'd be glad to know about the crowd this whole mess has drawn to her doorstep. It wouldn't do to have them standing around him... and their flashing lights would definitely prove to be a problem if he needed his powers. Catching Barkley's eye, Pitch nods in understanding and turns to face the crowd, holding up his hands before addressing the crowd. 
"Everyone... Everyone! Please... The police and I need you to get back." He shouted, never regretting the extra gravel he put in his voice more. "We don't know what kind of danger you could be in, and you can't upload those pictures if you and your phone are down for the count." When he finished, a particularly bright camera flash caught his eyes. making him blink several times to get rid of the spots.
The crowd murmurs softly at the address, the flashes of phones slowly die out as they heed your words. The police look frazzled, slightly annoyed but otherwise grateful that the most important part is done. Keeping people safe is something Vigilante’s and the police have in common, it’s something they’ll keep note of in the future. It takes a few minutes before the area is completely clear but by the ten minute mark there is only uniformed officers and the box left in the vicinity.
Eventually Pitch approaches the box at the center of all the drama, with the wary eyes of the police watching their every move. Upon closer inspection it becomes clear that despite the plain paper packaging it arrived in the box itself is ornate and rather beautiful. There’s a loud and consistent beeping coming from within, going off every second. Suddenly the presence of NHPD’s bomb squad is made all the more understandable. Mainframe’s letter still rests on top awaiting to be read by Pitch. There’s a palpable tension in the air, only increasing with each passing second spent reading. 
“Congratulations. You have been selected for further study and gifted the opportunity to be assessed by myself. Thank you for accepting the invitation so graciously extended but do note than by the time you’re reading this you will have very little time left to prove yourself. The challenge before you is not a test you can win but rather a test to see if you are worthy of being beaten by myself. Do not waste it. - Mainframe.”
After reading the letter, searching and scanning for any hidden messages or meanings or simply taking it at face value, three options become clear to move forward for what to do with the box. 
 Pitch could investigate further, as there’s no guarantee that it’s a bomb. It’s possible the timer could be ticking to something else that’s absolutely worth investigating in to, and even taking the extra time may be helpful once the true nature of the box is discovered… or any investigation could be a colossal waste of time. 
Another option would be not to take any risks at all and destroy the bomb whose detonation marked by the incessant beeping, serving as a reminder that it’s borrowed to to be worked with. There’s no telling what consequences lie with this assumption, as if it turns out to be something more than a bomb, the outcome could be more dire than anticipated. 
It could be possible however for Pitch to both assume it’s a bomb and proceed with a cautious investigation. This would certainly take the longest amount of time, as making sure any prying hands don’t accidentally trip a detonation sequence would be the primary focus… there’s just no telling how much of that precious time there is left to spare.
After he was sure there wasn't anything left to be learned from Mainframe's cryptic letter, Pitch sighed audibly. Just when he thought the supervillain couldn't get any more pretentious, he goes and writes a personalized letter. This was coming from someone who's alter ego dresses in plaid and drinks tea every day... No, now wasn't the time for distractions... He crumpled it and tossed it over his shoulder. 
 Kneeling in front of the box, Pitch contemplated his choices as he tapped his gloved fingertips on its sides. Mainframe would want him to go with the obvious choice, and simply having a package go boom didn't seem to Pitch like it would be a way to test his knowledge... He hated to admit it, but he knew he'd have to think outside the box in this case. He had to strain himself to suppress a groan at his own humor as it was the only thing keeping him sane at the moment.
Trying to ignore the loud and prodding tone of the timer, Pitch proceeded to handle the box delicately, not making any snap assumptions, but wanting to see if Mainframe had another intention with his personalized gift.
The box could be anything if Mainframe is the mastermind behind its contents. Not wanting to go with the obvious conclusion right away, Pitch delicately traces their hands around the box’s sides to see if there are any other clues. 
The beeping continues as careful fingers feel around the smooth edges, the ornate detailing giving nothing obvious away at first. Just when all is starting to feel fruitless, Pitch's hands find purchase on a catch, releasing the mechanism to begin working the puzzle on the box. It is meant to be opened. The beeping continues, finding the first opening to the puzzle has not set off any sort of trap but neither has it disarmed the bomb.
"Ah!" Pitch exclaimed, starling himself a bit at how relieved he was to find something to lead him in the right direction. But... what was it really? There didn't seem to be any other obvious clues... 
 Looking over his shoulder at the officers watching him, scrutinizing he was sure. Part of him wanted to snap at them and tell them to get lost so he could work in relative peace, but yipping at officers, especially ones that would get him to safety should anything go wrong didn't seem like such a hot plan. Perhaps it was the incessant timer beeping that was making him so irritable.
He was tempted to smash it then and there for that reason alone, but decided against it. Itching to prove himself to Mainframe and being tempted by his own curiosity, Pitch began working at figuring out the next release to the box. If Mainframe was just going to leave it out in the open, surely he put the timer on something that would have lasted all day. Pitch shuddered at the thought.
The beeping continues, almost taunting Pitch, as he tries to find another catch or trick to the puzzle box. The gilded edges refuse to budge no matter how much pressure is applied. There appears to be no further pieces to remove or alter. Each side is examined as thoroughly as possible, but to no avail. Minutes pass and frustration grows within the room as the officers watch Pitch fumble with the puzzle. The catch is pushed back down during the inspection and a small shock is administered to the dark hero as punishment, and a warning. 
Whatever Mainframe set up this time has stumped the vigilante, and now the only clear way forward is to destroy the box before it can do any harm.
"Gah, Son of a bitch!" He shouted. yanking his hands quickly from the box and dropping it. Pitch took a breath to calm himself down from his outburst, and instead focused on the box at his feet. He tilted his head and gave it a nudge with his foot to check it it was still charged. "I don't suppose any of you guys have a hint for me, do you?" Two officers looked at each other and back to him before shaking their heads. "Nah... thought not."
Pitch contemplated the box once more before lifting it up again. Following a previous instinct of smashing it, Pitch gripped at the edges of the box, trying to find a prying point. He figured it would piss Mainframe off the most... Breaking one of his toys. When his fingers couldn't find a grip to pull on the box, Pitch knelt and began smashing the box into the street instead.
The police watch as Pitch attempts to pry open the box with sheer strength. Many roll their eyes, already counting the hero out after his first failed attempt. It starts giving way eventually when he begins to smash it against hard concrete, however, it’s immediately followed by hissing noises and the sound of circuits snapping and breaking. Shortly followed by the beeping timer malfunctioning and eventually cutting off completely. 
 It seems Pitch bypassed a defensive mechanism in the box by managing to break it open quickly. When the box has finally come apart, its core is exposed, though completely destroyed beyond salvation… along with the puzzle he'd failed to solve. Whatever Mainframe left for Pitch to discover is now scrap along with the rest of the box.
There are multiple sighs of relief as the beeping finally stops. A welcome silence falls around those still left in the area before the world kick starts back to life. Police radios crackle to life and the sound of footsteps indicate someone approaching long before they’re seen. Bobby Barkley kneels down beside Pitch and stares thoughtfully at the box, reaching out towards the destroyed remains and brushing the broken pieces aside. 
 He speaks in a calm voice to give his thanks, lives were saved and this is one of the first instances of a bomb being placed in Newhaven that didn’t cause some sort of damage. Whilst one can be happy with the knowledge they stopped Mainframe from hurting anyone the nagging thought that there may have been something more to the box won’t leave. It’s destroyed now and what feels like a win is tainted by the fact the Pitch will never know what test lay in wait for them.

Running Into You - No. 6
Installment number 6 in my series of AU oneshots about Dan meeting his favourite youtuber AmazingPhil for the first time.
AO3 link
Genre: Fluff, with a sort of 2009-ish feel (but it’s still AU)
Warnings: A bit of swearing and some mentions of low self-esteem but literally it’s just fluff
Prompt: Missent Text
Summary: Dan’s on his gap year, so naturally he’s spending most of his time lounging around on the internet, watching his favourite youtubers and scrolling through tumblr. When he gets an accidental text from an unknown number, he doesn’t think much of it, until a series of events start to convince him the sender might just be someone he idolises: AmazingPhil.
A/N: This draft is like 2 years old, but @agingphangirl convinced me to post this while we’re waiting for pinof. It’s epistolary form, so I hope it isn’t too confusing. Hope you like it ^_^
Phil’s texts are italics, Dan’s texts are in quotation marks
6. Missent Text
Where r u?
Sorry what?
Where r u I’ve been here 10 mins
…Am I supposed to be somewhere?
You said on dm you’d be here at 6, I’m getting cold ^_^
Um I’m sorry mate but you must have the wrong number
Oh crap!! Sorry!!
.Lmao it’s ok. Just checked my dms and nothing interesting enough to make me be outside in this weather sorry
Tell me about it x_x I’m freezing. But if you’re not peej then I’ll be here a while
Unfortunately for you I go by Dan
Oh. Well, hello Dan. Sorry for bothering you with my freezing antics
Nvm it’s cool
It’s more than COOL, it’s COLD enough for ICICLES
I’m sure ur exaggerating
No my nose is an actual block of ice
Where even are you? Unless you’re in the Arctic you might want to get that seen to
--
Sorry! Peej showed up eventually (the friend I thought you were). Turns out he gave me the wrong number. All sorted now. I promise not to bother you again
Honestly it’s fine. I probably need more human contact so you did me a favour
Haha, glad to be of service ^_^ also I was in Manchester. It’s so cold it snowed. My icicle nose is allowed
Manchester? That’s like waaaaay in the north
Not that far but cold enough for icicle noses :P
Yes yes ok you’re allowed an icicle nose
Haha thanks :P so where are you, if not in the north?
Reading
Ohhhh so a proper southerner

Haha thanks XD it must have worked as my video is finally uploaded!

Haha thanks! Glad you liked it, took ages to get the dress on lioness. Plus my mum nearly walked in on me 0.o
Holy fuck you actually are AmazingPhil aren’t you
Um, well, yes.
Sorry.
AmazingPhil, FantasticPhil, Epic Youtuber

I probably should have told you
Jesus shitting fuck I’m sorry for bothering you
Don’t be daft! I accidentally texted you first ^_^
Yeah but I bet you didn’t expect to end up with a weird fanboy. Um. Not that I’m a stalker I promise
Haha it’s ok Dan honestly
I’m not going to spread your number around or anything holy shit like I’m so sorry
Honestly, please don’t worry, it’s been nice talking to you ^_^ I appreciate you not spreading my number around though. I got lucky with you, don’t want to risk a creepy stalker finding me 0.o
Lmao I promise xD how do you know for sure I’m not a creepy stalker though
0.o I’ll set the bees against you
I’ll start running now
Haha
So out of curiosity how long have you been watching my videos for?
Oh um a couple of years now
Really? That’s awesome!
Yeah. You actually replied to one of my comments once ^_^ made my day
Aw haha that’s great, which video?
The toxic one
Oh my god >.<
Haha it’s a good video :P
I should remove it from the internet immediately
Don’t you dare! Your fans would be sad
X_x well this isn’t very fair if you know about me but I don’t know you at all
Well you know my name’s Dan
And you’re from Reading. Tell me more? ^_^
unless you don’t want to, that’s fine, I’m just curious
Haha no it’s alright. Um. I’m Dan. I just finished my A levels and now I’m taking a gap year
Oh cool ^_^ going to uni after that?
Probably. Thinking of law
Wow, that’s impressive
Haha we’ll see ^_^
Just checking but how old are you? I don’t want to be a creep 0.o
Lmao dw I’m 18 everything is legal
Phew XD Anything else I should know?
Well I’m currently undefeated at mario kart
What seriously? You’ve never lost?
Nope and I don’t plan to start :P
I’d beat you
I really wish we could test that theory
Haha that would be fun :P we could always test it over Skype sometime?
That’s probably really weird sorry
I promise I’m not a creeper
It’s ok, and yeah, I’d love to Skype sometime
Yeah? Yay! :D
Lmao you’re probably going to want to run a mile when you see me though
I doubt that very much unless you have like five eyes or something
Five eyes? Wtf XD
Idk you could be a giant spider
[insert pic] See? Not a giant spider :P
Oh wow yeah not a giant spider. I spy a cute guy :P
Shut up >.<
Nice hair

[insert pic] And here I thought I’d started a trend
Crap you actually are Phil >.< yeah your hair is cool enough to be a trendsetter tbh
Haha thanks XD and yeah I am Phil. Is that a problem?
Are you kidding me? Nope except I turn even more awkward than normal around people I admire
Aw well awkward people are the best. And at least there aren’t videos of you half-naked on the internet
You make a good point
Hey so I’m uploading a new video tonight but I can’t decide if it’s actually any good. Check it out for me?
Omfg are you seriously saying I get a sneak preview on an AmazingPhil video

Omfg seriously how are you this creative like you shouldn’t be allowed
Haha really? Wow thanks, I’m not sure about the shot angle though and the lighting is kinda terrible

[insert pic with thumbs up] totally I love it
Aw I forgot how hot you are. It’s going up tonight then
CUTE I MEANT CUTE
Gah I’m sorry
Haha it’s fine, getting called hot is never bad in my book ;)
Would you believe it was autocorrect?
Haha if you want :P sounds pretty unlikely though
I’m hiding in a pillow and never coming out
No! Then your subscribers will hate me for taking you away
[insert pic in a pillow] do you like my new home
XD don’t hide from me seriously like you have a video to upload
[insert pic] ok true it’s on 68%
Damn YouTube upload times
Tell me about it. Have you ever uploaded a video then?
Lmao there’s one of me being a boss at DDR
Yeah? Can I check it out?
>.< Um sure, I’m a lame nerd though
Dan, have you even met me?
Haha ok true :P [insert link] just don’t say I didn’t warn you
No one’s feet should be allowed to move that fast. You’re so good, I fall over whenever I try and play
Haha I could teach you
Please be my DDR master Dan-sensei
Depends what you give me :P
I’ve got Pokemon cards
I’m sold
[insert pikachu with a lion pic] this was too cute not to show you
Awwww! Rawr ^_^ where is that?
Shop called forbidden planet. I’m in London on work experience and went there on my break
0.o London? You’re braver than me, capital cities scare me
Aw poor Phil haha
[insert pic] do I look ready for work?
Very serious
Srs bsns
[insert scared face pic] I’ll take YouTube any day
Haha. Me too tbh. Law offices are big and dull
Why do you want to do it then?
Idk. Job security? Having a point in life?
Fair enough :P
You did English didn’t you? Sorry I swear I’m not a stalker
Haha it’s fine ^_^ and yeah, English language and linguistics. Then a masters in post-production
Wow that’s so cool. So you’re in your 20s?
22 ^_^ My masters is the only reason I know how to edit videos :P
I wish I could
Well I can always teach you
Seriously?!
Yeah of course, I reckon you’d be great at making videos
Really? Lmao I’m so awkward tho
That can work in your favour, trust me :P
Haha well if you say so, YouTube senpai
Listen well Dan-kun and you too will learn the ways of the YouTube
Haha you’re so strange
You’re just jealous
[insert pic] so much
Stop taking pics at work
But it’s so boring. At least send me one back, save me from the dullness
[insert pic] on my way to a meetup so might be a bit slow
Oh cool meetup like YouTube meetup?
I guess that must be fun
I’d love to go to one but too scared and awkward lol
Save me work is literally killing me
I can’t actually keep working here
ugh why did I ever think law was a good idea I’m going to die at uni
Whoops sorry I seem to have spammed your phone
Hey Dan, sorry! I forgot to bring my charger to the meetup so my phone has only just come back to me. I mourned it’s passing *plays lion king music*
Oh that’s ok
I really am sorry that I couldn’t distract you from your work
Lmao no worries
Don’t know if it’ll make it any better but I am working on a new video and lion says he thinks law is a very admirable career option
Tell lion thanks and I’d be even more grateful if he did my degree for me
He says sign him up where are you going to uni anyway?
Well I’m not there yet. I have to start applying soon
Looked around any?
Errrr I’ll get on that
Isn’t the deadline soon?
Yeah but I’m an epic procrastinator
Lion is very disappointed
Lion can suck my dick
Dan!
Lmao I was kidding
XD
besides you’re 18 you have loads of time to sort stuff out
Yeah but I have literally no idea what I’m doing
No one does. That’s why you go to uni - to figure it out
You seemed to have it all together
Haha thanks, but honestly, I was just making stupid videos in my bedroom
does that sound wrong?
Lmao a little yeah
Oops
Dw lol if you’re a sexual predator you’re a bit far away to do any real damage
True
:( I’d rather you were nearer tbh
Even if I’m a sexual predator?
Lol I don’t really think you are though
Well I’m not
And me too, Dan
[insert pic] last day at the office today I literally couldn’t be happier
Lol I can see from your face
[insert pic] is it that obvious
Rawr
I’ll send lioness to aid you
Lioness not lion?
She’s much fiercer
Lmao probs true either way I’ll take help
At least soon you’ll be free
Yeah I literally can’t wait
Gonna do something to celebrate? ^_^
Lol all my friends are at uni
[insert pic] well Lion and I are proud of you
Aw thanks ^_^ I still forget you’re AmazingPhil sometimes
I’m deeply offended
no but really I’m just Phil and you’re really cool
sorry
Na it’s fine I just had to work
Oops XD
I’m hiding out in the toilets now so we’re fine lmao
and I have no issues with you being Phil
I mean it could be worse at least you aren’t a creepy stalker
I hope not. Also uploading another video tonight, I think you’ll like it
!!! Best celebration ever
^_^
So I may have been stalking you on Twitter and it seems your birthday is soon?
0.o stalker. And yeah it is ^_^
wait you follow me? What’s your Twitter handle?
Um. Yes I follow you. And this is going to sound very awkward and stuff but I kind of want to send you a birthday present
Omg Dan you don’t have to do that
Well I’d kinda like to so :P should I use your PO box?
Nah that takes ages to check, I’ll give you my actual address
I promise not to hunt you down
Tbh if it’s you I wouldn’t even mind
Omg
[insert pic with address] there you go
Lol is that a bank statement?
Yeah I’m so profesh
Phil! I could literally rob you
Well I trust that you won’t :P
Lmao you’d better
What’s your Twitter handle btw? You never said
Uh its danisnotonfire.
But please don’t judge me oh god I’m such a nerd
Dan honestly you’re the coolest person I know
sorry was that a bit much?
No! I’m just struggling to respond to the best youtuber out there calling me cool
Not just cool, the coolest :P wow you’ve commented on my tweets quite a bit

Sorry I never noticed you properly
You accidentally texted me I think that wins
Haha true
Happy birthday!

OMG you’re too adorable

I wish you could be here so I could give you a thank-you hug
Wow I’m glad you liked them :P I’ll take a thank-you hug

I was ginger
OMG for real?!
Yes >.< *hides forever*
That’s adorable
You’re adorable

Go to sleep
Lmao I’m glad it was good though
Thanks yeah it was rly good
Looking through the photos now
Any good ones?
Mostly drunk XD [insert pic]
Who’s that guy?
My cousin
Lmao ok I was about to say hands off
XD he was really drunk
You look a bit worse for the wear too
I may be slightly intoxicated
Haha tut tut Lester
Shut up Dan :P what is your surname?
Howell
Howell? Like a wolf?
Lmao if you like
Awooooooo
You’re so strange XD
AwoloooooOooooOOOOO
it suits you though
you’re very brown
XD aren’t wolves grey?
Well yeah
but like
you have their wildness
Lmao I’m taking that as a compliment
You should
you’re hot as hell
but so young and sticky out
like a baby deer
A wolf and a baby deer?
And eyes like an owl
You and your animal metaphors
None of those are quite right though
Like your eyes are too pretty they’re more like the night sky
but coloured with earth
You’re drunk
I mean it though
…I know
I wish I had eyes like yours
No! Yours are perfect
They’re big and weird
They’re deep and beautiful and I could swim in them all day
and I’m not drunk
I should be sleeping
You’re sleep-drunk :P which is actually a thing you know
Right I’m going to sleep
Noooooooo
We’ll talk about this when we’re both more sane
But I don’t want you to go
it’s quiet and sad when you aren’t around
and I’m cold here now
and it’s my birthday
Dan?
Dan?
Happy birthday you idiot. Now go to sleep
night Dan <333
I’m so sorry about last night I had too much to drink
Haha it’s ok it was your birthday
Yeah but still
I’m so sorry if I made you uncomfortable
You didn’t. There’s nothing to worry about
Do we need to talk about this?
Um. Do you want to?
Kind of
But kind of not
I don’t want to make you feel awkward
I’m always awkward
Dan, for real. You know what I mean.
Yeah I think I do
Do we need to talk about it?
I think we’re both aware it’s there. Let’s just see where it goes?
Yeah ok sounds good. And no awkwardness?
None at all, I promise <3
Good <3
Hey Dan, are you still up for Skype at some point?
Yeah, sure ^_^ tonight?
Yeah! I’ll just finish up editing
Ooh, what’s it like?
Haha spoilers :P what’s your Skype name?
Danisnotonfire same as Twitter
Original :P
added you
‘AmazingPhil has added you to his contacts’ you’re just as original I see
Shut up and answer the call
So my eyes are even bluer on skype? :P
Haha shuddup
They’re even more blue in person
Are they even blue lmao they’re like 3 different colours
[insert pic] mostly blue
Greeny yellow blue
Very poetic
Shuddup :P
sorry I’ll stop
Please don’t
Lol fishing for compliments?
Well if they’re being offered
You’re impossible
That isn’t a compliment
You’re ridiculously strange?
I’ll take that
Haha of course you would :P
So what are you up to?
Actually answering a few texts for once, you?
Throwing around some video ideas but I’m bored now. Who’re you texting?
Some school friends who are at uni
Nice ^_^
Well. Sort of. It’s weird
Tell me about it?
It’s just they all have these lives that are moving forwards and away from home and leaving me behind
and I just
My ex is dating someone else and I’m in exactly the same place as I was when she broke up with me
And I’m not content but I don’t really want to go anywhere or do anything and I just don’t know what on earth I’m going to do with my life
Were you happy with them before school ended?
Idk. I thought so at the time. But I don’t think I’ve ever really been happy, not yet
It’s ok. You don’t have to know right now. And one day you’ll leave all of them behind too and move on to something better
I think I already am. Having you around is better than them
Sorry
Haha don’t apologise for being so sweet ^_^
Also I’m single now. And bi. Just to avoid confusion
I’m bi too. Probably
Probably?
Not a massive fan of labels if I’m honest
If I feel something for someone then that’s all that matters
Might be demi, might be bi, might be somewhere inbetween.
And I don’t want you to worry about your future, ok? Everything is going to fall into place
<3
And if it doesn’t I’ll be around to distract you with more lame animal comparisons
Haha I actually love you
Me too <3
Get on Skype!
Ok it’s late you’re probably sleeping
it’s just
ugh I don’t know who else to talk to so I’m going to rant at your phone like a completely normal person
but mum yelled at me for not doing my uni application yet
but I just don’t know what to do I mean law yes but how do I decide where?
This is huge
and I don’t want to rush into it
but she thinks I’m going to miss the deadline though there’re months left
and I just
ugh
now she isn’t talking to me
-
Dan I’m sorry I was sleeping. Skype now?
I really don’t mind you spamming my phone, please do, always, I’d rather you had somewhere to talk about this stuff
And you know, Manchester uni is good. I could show you around
I spoke to mum about going to look around the uni.
She asked where I would stay.
I kind of told her I have friends at uni there.
It’s a half truth right?
Awesome ^_^ Um do you think she’d like to know the truth?
Probably.
Idk.
She might freak out and be worried
Because you’re meeting a random man you’ve never met before?
Lmao when you put it like that
Are you honestly ok with this? It’s fine if you’re not
No no I’m so ok. I want to meet you. Like properly
I want that too. So much
So it’s going to happen. I’m buying train tickets
Awesome ^_^ but your mum?
Do you think I should tell her?
I think she’d be happier knowing where you are
Yeah. Yeah I know. I’ll talk to her
Give her my phone number too. And my address
Lmao you after more stalkers?
Dan I’m serious I want you to be safe
You spoon
yeah I’ll tell her everything. She might not be best pleased though
Dw if she locks you up I’ll come rescue you
<3
<3
I told her

She said yes
OMG!!!!! I’m out atm but Skype as soon as I get back?
Yes please :P
[insert happy pic]

Hey Dan you should make a YouTube channel before you visit me
?? Really?
Yeah I mean you always say you want to. And we could do a collab ^_^
For serious?!
Yeah! I mean, if you want to
I’ve been wanting to do a Q and A for a while and it would be fun I think
Omfg
Is that a yes?
Hell yes it’s a yes
Um only problem is
How do I even make a video?
However you want ^_^ you’ve told me loads of good ideas
But they’re so lame lmao
They’re really not. I promise.
Why not start with an introduction? Then you can go on to your actual content
Omg but like do you really think I could?
Honestly! Yes.
Ok
Ok
My mum’s going out in a minute so I’ll have the house to myself. I could film
That’s brilliant! I’m about to head out with mum but film whilst I’m gone and we can Skype later yeah?

Is that a problem?
Lmao no why would it be

Well you can start with me ;)
Dan!
Seriously though. Is it ok?
Yeah. Honestly it’s great.
Are you sure?
Are you?

You won’t
I hope not
Phil honestly I can’t wait

No wifi. I’m not sure how I’m going to survive
I’ll spam you with texts
Please!
Actually I have something better
[incoming call: AmazingPhil]
I’m at the train station and it’s super early I’m not even sure you’re worth it
Sorry! I’ll make it up to you with hot coffee and hugs ^_^
Ok yeah you are worth it
Aw :D
On the train next to an old man who’s threatening to fall asleep on my shoulder

Lmao yeah I’m sure you’d really sort him out
I could be fierce
You’re literally a muffin with an emo fringe
I’ll fill your bag with bees
I’ll tame them into my own personal army
Then you’ll be our evil overlord
Mwahahaha
Can I be on your side when you take over the world?
Your lion powers could come in useful so yeah I guess so
Awesome we can run the world together

I don’t want to miss you. I’ll be there <3
I can’t wait
Me neither
Stuck in Stoke now. Literally the weirdest station I’ve ever seen
Haha really?
Yeah. And it’s packed. I had no idea this many people travelled this early on a Saturday, I didn’t even know this time exists
It doesn’t and you’re travelling in some other dimension right now
Shut up :P

Promise. I’ll see you soon Dan
See you soon

[redacted]
Hey!
w/izard-merlin
Yo! Sent you a few messages on steam c:
01/10/2017
[redacted] sent a photo post Cover of an issue of Super M...
[redacted]
cute!!
w/izard-merlin
Oh
OH YES THIS IS
w/izard-merlin
[redacted] please get back soon
I really need to talk
01/28/2017
w/izard-merlin
Gah, just I'm super sorry for that. I really haven't been having a good time as of late, and with THAT DAY [Note: Valentine’s Day] coming up, I felt you'd probably not even want to be with me, which is most likely true but y'know... That and I sorta guess I got a little annoyed with this trade, knowing you've been doing other stuff in between? But y'know, can't win them all, must get boring, I imagine...
That and there's still a load of ambiguity about that MRI scan of mine, so I'm mildly worried about having cancer
So yes, I freaked out, but only because I feared you didn't care
w/izard-merlin
About me, that is
[redacted]
I always care about you, Merlin.
[redacted]
I was seriously concerned.
The night before... or whenever it was, I apologize if I sounded moody
w/izard-merlin
Of course
I just fear what's coming, is all
I'm never the kind of guy who gets attention from others so I always feel there may be something else going on
[redacted]
What do you think is going on?
I won't judge you.
I can promise you that I haven't said a word about me talking to you to anybody else.
w/izard-merlin
That's not my gripe
[redacted]
Joseph... you need attention. You need friends who care about you. Everyone does.
w/izard-merlin
Its just the fact that I can't trust people, I suppose
I always feel that when someone's being nice to me, they have some sort of ulterior motive
Personally? I blame my history with shitty people for that
But you can make of that whatever
w/izard-merlin
You know I feel a lot of people try and take advantage of me
[redacted]
There is nothing for me to take from you.
I genuinely enjoy your company, Joseph.
w/izard-merlin
I just have my suspicions about people who treat me nicely, is all
Especially considering my past with people who have been nice to me, and then bit me in the ass
[redacted]
Who did that to you? :(
w/izard-merlin
[Redacted for privacy. This was a sensitive subject and was unrelated to his friends.]
[redacted]
I was aware... regardless, I'm so, so sorry....
w/izard-merlin
Thats why I find it hard to trust people
w/izard-merlin
And its why I'm an incredibly emotional person
So I'm sorry for upsetting you, but I can't help it
[redacted]
You didn't upset me... I was just very confused.
w/izard-merlin
Why so?
[redacted]
Just... seeing you off my friends list out of the blue.
After you requested one last thing.
w/izard-merlin
Did you get none of the messages afterwards?
w/izard-merlin
They explained why I was doing what I was doing
[redacted]
No... I didn't get them.
w/izard-merlin
Well, my final request of you was to enjoy the music I had made for you as our part of the trade
[redacted]
Would you like to see muffet? [A picture I had been drawing for him.]
w/izard-merlin
I'm fine, don't worry about finishing it
Just enjoy the music I made for you
[redacted]
I'm going to finish it
I can't keep not finishing stuff [Note: This wasn’t finished because of the events of 2/4 cutting communication. ]
w/izard-merlin
Well, if you're planning on doing so, don't do it because its for me
[URL removed]
w/izard-merlin
Go ahead and listen to it
[redacted]
I can't, I feel too guilty
w/izard-merlin
How come?
w/izard-merlin
[redacted]?
[redacted]
I'm sorry, I had to help my mom with something.
I didn't earn the right to hear it
w/izard-merlin
No trouble, and well...
That doesn't matter
Go ahead, please
[redacted]
Why do you want me to hear it?
Do you want my feedback?
w/izard-merlin
Because I want you to enjoy it?
w/izard-merlin
As far as I'm concerned, and other friends are concerned, this is a completed piece
I just really, really want you to listen to it
[redacted]
... If you insist.
w/izard-merlin
Trust me, it's going to be amazing
w/izard-merlin
Tell me what you think!
[redacted]
Good god...
Joseph... it's beautiful.
Look, I don't want to sound cheesy. I really don't. It sounds cliche as heck.
But there was a tear in my eye.
It's beautiful. [ Note: This sounds very cheesy reading back, but it was true! Merlin did a great job composing this track. ]
[redacted]
I love the ending, where... ah, what's the music term....
it just gets higher and higher in pitch?
It sounded wonderful.
w/izard-merlin
Crescendo?
[redacted]
Yes.
That's the name for it? It's very pretty.
The tune of it... that kept getting repeated over and over again... it was very, very nice.
w/izard-merlin
Most of the terminology for music is Latin and Italian
[redacted]
Is that so?
w/izard-merlin
Indeed! Most of the stuff relating to tempo, at least
w/izard-merlin
Or... melody, rather
[redacted]
What's a cadence? It seems like a popular name for girls related to music
w/izard-merlin
Its basically a bunch of chords strung together at the end of a piece of music!
And then you've got plagal, or perfect cadences
Plagal cadences are typically the kind of ones you get at the end of church hymns
Its commonly referred to as the "amen" cadence, for that reason
Its used to give something a soft close
w/izard-merlin
But yes, I'm rather happy you enjoyed this
I do feel I captured you rather well in this? Gave it a rather... Homestuck-y tone
[redacted]
You seem to know a lot about music!
[redacted]
And yes... no wonder it had a vibe of familiarity!
w/izard-merlin
I mean, I've been at it for... a whole decade, now
The rabbit hole goes ever deeper
w/izard-merlin
I'm glad you like it, though
Like, I really am
Bet you're glad to have listened to it noooow~
[redacted]
You've been in to making music for a decade?
w/izard-merlin
Well, music as a whole, rather
I got my first guitar when I was 8
[redacted]
It was gorgeous, Joseph. I'm going to keep the file in a special spot so I can always find it easily.
[redacted]
Awww, really?
You can play guitar
w/izard-merlin
Ayup!
And well, yeah! It'd be stupidly hard to teach myself all this terminology without any sort of previous instrumental knowledge
And of course! Where will it reside?
[redacted]
Probably on my desktop, hehe
w/izard-merlin
D'aww
Thank you!
[redacted]
Do you own any other instruments?
w/izard-merlin
Yup!
w/izard-merlin
I've got a really nice Taylor 214ce
And then y'know
A Yamaha keyboard ;w;
[redacted]
Oh wow
w/izard-merlin
And then my ukulele... Somewhere?
[redacted]
Ahh! How cute!
w/izard-merlin
I bought a cheap one to learn a few songs and never picked it up again
Their use is VERY niche in comparison to other instruments
[redacted]
That's true. Can't throw a ukulele in the middle of many songs
w/izard-merlin
Unless its like
w/izard-merlin
Cheesy jokey stuff
Which is fun
I really must find it
w/izard-merlin
But either way, acoustic guitar is where its at
[redacted]
Guitars always sound so nice.
w/izard-merlin
They doooo
[redacted]
Is that your favorite instrument?
w/izard-merlin
[URL removed]
Here's the one I own
And well, yes it is!
[redacted]
Goodness, it's beautiful!
Say...
Have you ever made a theme for YOU?
w/izard-merlin
Nope!
I... Probably should
Just not sure where I'd even start with it
I can read people better than myself ;w;
[redacted]
I can't help but imagine something that has an atmosphere of magic in it
w/izard-merlin
Any sort of genre?
w/izard-merlin
[redacted]?
[redacted]
Yes?
Sorry, sorry
Hm...
I can't think of anything.
w/izard-merlin
Ahh, okay!
Well, I shall keep it on the backburner
w/izard-merlin
Gonna shoot you a friend request on steam, hope you dont mind
[redacted]
Okay!
w/izard-merlin
Done, and done
[redacted]
Also, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snzjXp6fbrI&t=97s
[ Note: URL kept bc its just an undertale song ]
[redacted]
Something like this without the really ominous part
w/izard-merlin
Ooooh
That could work!
[redacted]
I don't know how a guitar could be thrown in to that
w/izard-merlin
Once you've accepted my friend request I need to gush about the Undertale OST
[redacted]
Accepted!

life has been crazy ever since vancouver!
so i’ll be uploading a vlog soon, but just saying, canada frikin robs people of their taxes holy guacamole!! 12% compared to our 9% lol so we ate a lot in seattle more so than in canada
anyways, my family and i have been dealing with money problems lately and i really hope that we can be kept in people’s prayers. it’s been really rough and i’ve never really seen my parents so distressed. i don’t want them to go into depression bc they’re more prone now that they’re older. /: so i’m really praying for God’s strength and grace to be shown to us in this situation
i’ve been working and it’s been gucci and then this past wednesday, i was called to go to the other campus to teach 20 kids?! that’s a lot so they asked my coworker j to help me out! and omg as shallow as i am, i always thought he was attractive from the beginning! i saw him in the beginning of summer when my schedule wasn’t completely solidified. i was like eh it’s ok since i’m prob never going to see him. then my manager was like o hey tammy sorry have you met j? and i was like uhhhh no and then i rushed off to my class, but i heard him in cantonese say i recognize her, but I WAS SO FLUSTERED GAH. i don’t like being put on the spot. anywhoooo then i guess like 2 weeks later, my manager puts him in my class to help the kiddos do arts & craft ~which is a super chill time for me ^__^~ and then we finally talked! he’s from hong kong and he has a little accent! then we occasionally spoke in canto bc ya girl can finally practice it! then he came again the following week’s tuesday. then after that he was no longer scheduled with me, which was a bummer, but i was like it ok. then i got put into another campus and saw him there! let’s just say it was nice seeing him there and we had our small talk! then boom, didn’t see each other the following week. then i was put into the other campus and saw him on wednesday, which is a field trip day. we ended up watching the kids and watching kdrama :D which i luv bc i didn’t fnish the one he watched. but he was watching in chinese subs and i couldn’t read it but it’s ok bc i already watched past his current episode. then kids were like shipping us in front of the class and blah blah, typical. then i had the balls to finally ask him for his ig! he left 1 hour before me at 5pm. then i finally got off of work and he drove up with his car and said who are you on the phone with? then i had to kinda ignore him bc it was an important phone call from my brother. then that night, after adding him on ig, he added me on fb and said “why did you ignore meeee” and blah blah. then me being the birdbrain that i am, i was like can’t catch feelings and then i ended the 2 day convo by saying good night :)(: i am so amazing at talking to boysSsSsSSss
on the flip side, i felt like my other co worker was like once in a while flirting with me, but it okKKkKKk i did not flirt back bc he’s older than me and i am not interested. but i’m glad we finally talked and i have a sense that he’s not going to flirt with me anymore so that’s good! :D
although i suck at talking to boys, this was an interesting summer. and i’ll prob never talk to j ever again LMAOOOOO
also i miss all my friends. working all the time and just going home gets pretty lonely.
i hate ending things in a bad note, but i miss the happy times. i’m still reminded of all the bad things currently happening in this household... i wish things were back the way they were when i was younger

*SOBS* IM JUST SO GLAD YOURE BACK
Aw thank you !!!!! It’s really just thanks to the past couple of days of cooler weather tho, ngl hahaha the earth has been indulgent to me, this past week!
Anon said:I really liked that wgole bakushima gem thing! What would bakugou do if kirishima somehow got corrupted and couldnt reverse it? (Without the other diamonds)
Thank you for liking it!!!! And I guess he’d just go ask the other diamonds? Well, he would never let it get to that, but if it were the only option it’s not like he’d leave Kiri like that!
Anon said:Quick, someone put a flashlight on diamond!Kiri
He’d be shinier than Aoyama and Hagakure using her special move put together !!!!!!! v pretty~
Anon said:your kiribaku gem AU inspired me so much that i’m finally watching steven universe just so i can understand it better because what i did understand was that i loved it
OH MAN I hope you’ll enjoy it!!!! It’s a bit silly and all over the place through the first season, but try to give it time !!
Anon said:Hi! I went and checked out your fan art for Kuroko no Basket and I absolutely adore AoKaga! Your AoKaga works make me so happy! I love them all!
Ohhhhh man thank you so much !!!!!!!!!! it’s super old stuff tho how did you even find it hhhhh haha
Anon said:Hello hello! here w bad news a instagram page posted your art and i know you dont like repost so im informing you. The page is kags.fujoshi and it was posted july 23
Yeh I know, I’ve been trying to report it and the other one I’ve been being told about but instagram won’t let me submit the thing so I guess this is how things are and I’ll just die mad about it since instagram likes to make things as hard and impossible to me as it can
Anon said:Bless your art
Thank you ;;;;;
Anon said:Omg literally your kiribaku Steven universe crossover is so fucking perfect thank you for blessing us with it; I’d love to see more if you have anything or feel like ever doing more about it but I don’t want to pressure you or anything, do what you want to do and what makes you happy :) Take care!
Ahhhhhh thank you so much!!!!! I’m super glad you liked it this much!!!!!!!
Anon said:✨Gentle reminder to take care of yourself today ✨
You too, anon!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anon said:Everytime I see you upload new art I end up looking through and loving your entire BNHA Art tag. It’s so wonderful
gAH thank you so SO much!!!!!!!!!! don’t waste so much time on my blog, tho hahaha
Anon said:heya! I was just wondering if u had any short bakukiri one-shot fic recommendations. i prefer to read short things bc i have some learning difficulties and i was hoping u might know some good simple reads. Thanks! (
Aw man sorry but I really don’t have the time to make a rec list rn ;; if you’re fine with it this is the tag on AO3 filtered so that it shows only complete content with a max word count of 5000 starting from the one with most kudos going down, the first ones showing are all super good fics - in case you’re not okay with explicit content you can filter that too (if youre not okay with mature either just check that out as well) and to go further this is the tag excluding the fics tagged as tddk  cause that’s not what you’re looking for and the tddk and krbk fandom sure like to put each other in the listed relationships even if the fic isn’t about them (it excludes some krbk fics too but what can we do about that)
Anon said:ASDFGHKRNOFNE your last doodle killed me!!!! soft todoroki
AHHHHH I’m super glad you liked them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;;;
Anon said:I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of your art, you beautiful gift you
Thank you smmmmm ;;;
Anon said:I am taking the SU story down for now. Please, let me know if I have your permission to post it, or if you don’t want me to. // And just to clarify - I’m not deleting the story out of spite or anything. I wrote it as a “get-well-soon” gift, but since you make it very clear you want to know how your art is used and that you must give your approval, I began to fear it would become a source of annoyance to you rather than something nice. I can put it back up if you want me to.
I don’t mind you writing the story or posting it, so if you wanna upload it again go for it! For future reference tho, if you’re in a rush to get an answer out of me (referring to the message where you asked if it was okay) your best bet is to go off-anon since those I always answer privately and as soon as I can. It can take me up to over a week to answer anon asks here, which I’d guess is sort of obvious? so seriously next time you’re in a rush to get an answer it’s better if you don’t go through the anon option!!
Anon said:HI I LOVE YOUR ART IT’S GORGEOUS AHHHHHHH
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Anon said:How long does it take t draw one artwork for you?
Some things ten minutes, some things three days of work, it really depends on what I’m drawing? If it’s bw or colored, if it has a bg, if it’s a bust or a full body, if it’s one person or five, one drawing or a full comic, how used I am to drawing the character vs how new it is, how easy the clothes are and how many details there are on them - if you sent me an example I could specifically tell you how long it took me!
Anon said:is bakugo ticklish? what do u think?
Bakugou is ticklish but the immediate aftermath of tickling Bakugou is to be blasted into kingdom come so maybe better not to tickle him unless you’re Kiri and can protect yourself
Anon said:Bakukirikami is some good stuff my dude
It sure as heck is! Lately my old stuff for them is getting a bunch of new notes, I’m assuming people are getting into it thanks to the anime haha the magic of the license exam my doods
Anon said:hey I hope I don’t sound creepy but, I just want to say that your art really makes me happy and that you’re one of my favorite artist out there. So even if somtimes you feel like your art sucks I want you to know that I think it’s beautiful! Hope you’re doing well!
You don’t sound creepy at all!!!!! thank you SO MUCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anon said:i live for ur kamisero art just saying
I haven’t drawn much of that, have I? I’m glad you like it tho!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!
Anon said:Mako and Tai ♥️♥️
!!!
Anon said:This isn’t an ask, just that I love your art style and it reminds me of a beautiful and cute point and click adventure, “Harvey’s new eyes ” and “Ednas break out” Its very cute and pretty just like your art style and I love both ^^
Oh man thank you!!!
Anon said:Q U O R K
I honestly can’t even remember if this is just a random ask or if it was referring to something specific, ngl (if it’s the second, sorry about my memory being like this orz)
Anon said:Gah I keep missing preorders! I’ve only ever really wanted 2, and each time, don’t have any money, til after they’re done 😢 oh well, I guess. Hope you’re doing well!
If you’re referring to the takemyhand zine, preorders are still going tho!!! and thank you!!!!
