Unlikely Friends

Thanks for the support as usual, @authordgaster!

This is a Support chain C-B between Hubert and Percy (OC) from Fire Emblem Three Houses! If you need any more info about Percy, I have written about him here~

Commission info HERE and HERE!

__________________________

C SUPPORT

Hubert, offscreen: …

Percy, alone: Hah! Haap!

Percy: … Take that!

Hubert: …!

(sound of fireball exploding)

Hubert: I see you discovered me.

Percy: You didn’t even flinch at that, nice.

Hubert: …

Hubert: I could tell there was no bloodlust in that hit. It was, as it were, a ‘warning shot’.

Percy: Glad you noticed it. So?

Hubert: ‘So’?

Percy: So, what’s your business with me is what I’m asking. I don’t think I signed up for any sneaking classes or anything, so fess up.

Hubert: I am merely here to observe you. If you prove yourself to be a threat to Lady Edelgard and what she has planned, I will be forced to… dispose of you, if necessary.

Percy: I see. Alright, cool.

(Percy leaves)

Hubert: A moment.

(Percy returns)

Percy: Yeah?

Hubert: I must confess that was not the reaction I expected. People don’t usually react well to being told to their faces that they’re being watched. I would know.

Percy: As said, it’s cool. You were honest with me instead of spewing some weird crap, which, props for you. Also, I know you’re doing whatever you can to protect your master, and I respect that, as someone who also has someone else to protect.

Hubert: Hah. Is that ‘someone’ the Ashen Demon, A.K.A. our dear, dear Professor?

Percy: Yup. Wonder how you figured that out.

Hubert: She hardly seems like someone who needs any protection.

Percy: Could say the same about your princess, right? I bet she can bench press you into the next Tuesday before breakfast.

Hubert: … I suppose you have a point. On her being able to hold her own, of course.

Percy: Riiight. Sure. So, can I go back to training now? You can stay and watch it if you want.

Hubert: Be my guest.

Percy: ‘Kay.

(Percy leaves)

Hubert: What a strange creature.

B SUPPORT (Unlockable after Chapter 7 and after attaining Bernadetta and Ingrid’s C-Support)

Percy: Hubert, buddy!

Hubert: Percy.

Percy: Hahaha! (deeper voice) Percy. 

Percy: Nailed that.

Hubert, smiling: That hardly sounded like me.

Percy: Got a smile outta you, at least! That’s nice, I like makin’ my friends laugh.

Hubert: So, we are ‘friends’, then? Despite my constant vigilance?

Percy: Yeah, why not? We’re all in the same class and you’re honest about it all. Just don’t lie to me and we’re good, buddy.

Hubert: ‘All in the same class’, I see. Yet, you weren’t so welcoming of Ingrid.

Percy: Hah? I treated her the same way I treated everyone else after she joined. Not my problem she decided that breaking people’s doors was something normal to do. I had to reply in kind.

Hubert: So, breaking doors is unacceptable, but surveillance is not?

Percy: *sighs* Look, I told you already. I respect you for doing whatever you can to protect the one you care about. It doesn’t matter that I’m the target of surveillance or shit. Because it is you and the reason why you’re doing it, it’s fine. You might not think the same, but I actually do consider you as a friend.

Hubert: Hm. Then, allow me to propose a hypothetical situation.

Percy: Go on.

Hubert: Say that Lady Edelgard and the Professor — and, by extension, us — end up becoming enemies in the future. Would your opinion of me still remain? Would this so-called friendship exist at all?

Percy, thinking: Hmmm…

Percy: Yeah, I don’t think anything would change. I’d think you’re still a cool guy and we’d still be friends, even if we’re on opposing sides of the battlefield.

Hubert: … I fail to comprehend this.

Percy: When you’re in the merc business, you meet a lot of other merc bands around. Sometimes, you’re both hired to do the same job as allies. Other times, opposing lords hire us to teach the other a lesson. At the end of the day, we can all meet in the tavern and talk about the job, no hard feelings. It’s just fighting, you know? Doesn’t mean I’d hate the guts of the guy I had been just sharing a cold one with the previous night.

Hubert: I would wager Shez holds a different view of this, but I see your point.

Percy: Yeah, he does him, I do me. So, did that answer satisfy you, my lord?

Hubert, smiling: It did, for the moment. I can’t say I’m entirely convinced, but I’ll play the part, for now.

Percy: That’s good enough for me!

Hidden Agenda Ep 7

Word on the street (lol) is that this is actually going to be 12 eps, which I am thankful for because Only Friends is going to start bringing that promised messiness beginning next week (I hope) and I will need more time with a palate cleanser.

Oh don't get me wrong I'm going to love every second of OF, but also I know me and I know I am going to be very frustrated so it'll be good to have this cute tropefest to look forward to after the mess.

Would a promotion to win headphones get me? Yes it would, because I am one, cheap, and two, always up for a challenge. Also I like rollercoasters so it wouldn't be too much of a hardship for me. Unless I had to get on the swings. *shudders* We don't do the swings here.

Is this the same theme park they go to in every drama? It's just making me want to ride rollercoasters.

Lol there's always the one who can't handle them.

Ah, my old friend product placement. It's weird to miss you but there you go.

These rides are not that challenging! Boo. I was hoping the fourth one was a free fall ride - I love those and it would be hilarious to see the faces Joke would make - bet he would scream too - but alas.

Pfft Joke definitely has Zo's number. He totally liked that line.

Wait is that a wild Title? Yes, yes it is. Pfft, now that GMMTV has him in their stable they're just gonna put him in all the things, huh? Not complaining. Although he's again playing an ass, lol. Are we gonna typecast him already?

Aw, heartbreak at a theme park. I am sure that there are worse places to have that happen, but still. Yeesh.

I find it interesting that Zo's hesitance with Joke wasn't due to freaking out about these new bi feelings though. That's nifty.

Sometimes, I just love me an uncomplicated, cozy romance, and honestly I feel like these two deliver on that front. They did it in SIMM too.

I love how they're always alone in mazes like this. In reality it's a freaking crush, and there's always the two or three girls in front of you who scream at literally everything so they cast all jumps at them and you're just kind of behind them feeling a little bored and checking out the decorations. I still love 'em, though.

If he doesn't go for the photo cheek kiss...

Huh. Literally every other trope but not that one, show?

AOU AND BOOM! I almost forgot they were in this show. I want to care about this hiding plot. I do. But the problem is we get so little of them that I just...don't. I don't know if there was supposed to be more of them and then they cut it out or couldn't film it for whatever reason or what, but I just don't feel like I've been given enough to care. And that makes me sad because I was especially looking forward to Aou.

Okay so is grandma homophobic or just not impressed that Joke didn't tell her that Zo is his boyfriend? My guess is the former since the whole thing with Jeng but who knows, really. At this point it could swing either way, really. I would guess it's the latter because this show is fairly straightforward romance but! But. Sometimes the straightforward romances will hit you with that kind of serious thing out of nowhere.

Aw go Zo. I like his optimism.

HEH. Nope we're going simple. That is not a complaint. Grandma is fun. Also what do you mean you're not dating, Zo? You literally just went out on an amusement park date! There was a headphones winning montage and everything!

Yes you know what I agree. Competence is hot.

Hahaha okay I love Joke. Literally any chance to get his shirt off around Zo. And his pathetic attempts to clean himself like he's never done it before. Oh Joke you transparent fool.

Oh yes the academic scholarship. I forgot all about that too. Why is he so devastated? Does he think that he surely won't get the Finland trip if Nita is also competing for it?

Joke dude. Chill out he probably just passed out after studying all night. Good lord. You are embarrassing.

Pottery date!

I am Old but all this paying by QR code freaks me out.

Oh hey Title's back. I guess I knew that would happen.

Okay NO. No, it is not your place to go off on the asshole former friend, Joke. Come on. What he did was wrong but it's been ages and if Zo wants to know what happened then it's on him to find out, not you. I do not like his high handedness sometimes. He really really needs to quit it with that.

Yeah I'd have blocked him too. I am super petty and I have blocked people for less.

JOKE.

"You could have been honest without being cruel." No but for real. This should be printed on a card and distributed because I swear sometimes people just don't get that memo.

Oh just make out already.

Thank you.

Hahaha all right, point to Zo. That was a good one. And since it ain't OF, I'm pretty sure Joke's not gonna turn around and sleep with someone else lol. So you know, it's a win. :D :D

Look, I make fun but like I said, sometimes you just need something sweet and uncomplicated and fun. And i firmly believe that there's room for both this and stuff like OF or even Dangerous Romance. We can have gritty and realistic, mean and fraught, and sweet and simple! They can coexist. In the same weekend even!

#hidden agenda #episode 7

[lanasblood]

ok but please do tell what do i do with this thing like i genuinely got upset

it’s so embarrassing 😭 i could never relate to people who were attracted to older men, i mean only when i liked fictional characters or celebrities but age didn’t really count for me in those cases

but now since he’s a real person it suuucks🥲 also i am so bad at guessing ages, and he genuinely looks young to me? idk i was like 🫣 when he said he was 37

first of all, i don't know if i'm the right person to give advice on this matter. all my crushes used to be either much older or much younger (still of age!! before anyone says anything) than me, so for me, his age is not the problem here, that he's in a relationship, however, is, making him unavailable, completely off-limits ://

having this said, be kind to yourself, don't be embarrassed or upset or judging, it's quite normal to develop some kind of crush, and if he's really that legendary at your office, I bet even some male coworkers have a crush on him too (they must either love or hate him, attraction or rivalry, it's the rule); just be yourself, remind yourself that it's a professional environment you're in, that it's normal to get along with everyone (including him), because that's what coworkers do, and as long as you keep everything work-related, everything should be fine, and I'm sure you will move on from your crush eventually.

let me tell you a funny story: so last year, I had this massive crush on one of my tutors, he was everything to me, his looks, his intellect, his humor, I didn't even like the subject but every week I looked forward to his tutoring (and I chose front row seats, too, the closer to him the better hahaha); he was a bit older (five years or so) and he kept it all professional, treating everyone the same. when I fell sick one day and couldn't go, my friends told me he asked about me. it made me happy to see he noticed and cared. and then, at the end of the semester, he really asked me out on a date out of nowhere, but do you know what happened? my crush was gone in an instant. I realized I didn't want him, I wanted him to want me; and once I noticed that he was slightly interested in me, I got the ick. yeah lol I think it's a me-problem, but it just goes to show that crushes come and go, and we have no control over them. so again, don't feel bad about it, my love, everything will be solved 💕

[razorblade180]

Interdimensional Moms: part 1

Intro <-

Yang:So how we doin this? Drawing straws or... well we actually don’t have straws here so-

Weiss:It’s obvious that you wanna go first.

Blake:Extremely obvious.

Ruby:All over your face.

Yang:Hey now, don’t call me out like that! We all have so much to sort out here. I don’t even know where to begin. Differences could start and stop anywhere for all we really know.

Blake:From what it seems, Beacon itself would have one or two minor changes, but the real changes start after the fall. At least, for you three that is.

Weiss:You saying you’re different?

Blake:Unless you three started going on dates with Jaune at Beacon, then yes, I’m different.

RWY:(They’ve been together that long!?)

Yang:Okay, starting from Beacon...nothing really stands out too much. Jaune and I were just friends. *cringes* Back then, a certain faunus caught my eye.

Blake:Ah...right. I guess that tracks in practically every universe.

RW:Oh yeah it does. You two are joined at the hip.

Yang:Haha, really? Glad to hear it. My Blake and I are best buds! Remnant has never seen such a dynamic duo! Can’t say it didn’t take a lot of time effort after a rough patch. We actually dated in my world.

Blake:Same.

Yang:What!? How long?

Blake:I don’t know, it was pretty on again off again.

Yang:Well for me it was after Haven. Both of us had gotten pretty serious. All the growing we’ve done together and apart had brought us closer. However, Adam unintentionally put a wedge between us. His attempt to change and the problems that came with it were-

Yang stopped midway and saw the confused faces of her otherworldly teammates. They were shocked, confused even. Especially Blake, who looked the most shocked of all.

Yang:Umm did I say something odd?

Blake:Adam, he...isn’t dead?

Yang:Oh, well I guess that’s the start of the major changes then. Blake and I fought Adam at Argus. Stabbed him through the chest and watched him fall down rocks into a river.

Ruby:That lines you with my world. Dude died that day. Like any normal person should.

Yang:Well Adam is anything but fucking normal. Man has the craziest luck. A young women, the winter maiden in fact, she saved his life. She’s not exactly normal either. The maiden, Jacquelyn, ended up sticking by him to see if she could change his ways. This naturally meant we’d run into them again. And that’s how things fell apart.

Blake:What do you mean?

Yang:You were fully committed to seeing if Adam could actually change. I wasn’t, so we constantly butted heads in any situation involving him. Then we would fight about things that had nothing to do with at all. Eventually, we broke it off. We remained on decent terms but I was pretty heartbroken about the disconnect. Enter our lovable blonde idiot. Jaune did everything in his power to cheer me up.

Weiss:Sounds like him. Always such a bleeding heart. That boy just can’t help himself. Let me guess, his kindness and concern made you feel all warm and fuzzy?

Yang:Hehe, guilty. It was more of his willingness to laugh at my puns. Jaune’s always been interesting to talk to. He tries to act cool and calm even though he’s terrible at it, then comes clean right after. Before I knew it I was telling him things I hadn’t talked about with people before. I could tell he looked at me like most guys do, but also genuinely wanted to listen to me. Talk about playing unfair; he got defenseless. Suddenly I was smiling again. Anytime with him was time well spent. Then one day, I kissed him.

Ruby:Happily ever after?

Yang:Not even close! Hahaha!

Weiss:Why do you sound proud?

Yang:It’s funny looking back at it to a certain degree. Gods, I was such a brat. More than a few fights are on me. Between Blake, Raven, and other experiences, my insecurities flared up in ugly ways over nothing. It even got us to break up too. I was officially done with dating. My Ruby was out in an uncomfortable position.

Ruby:I bet! I’d never want you two fighting. Especially in my world. Picking between the person I love and my sister!? I don’t know what will happen.

Yang:I kinda do. *sets up* You’d start dating Jaune because you’ve looked at him since Beacon. The two of you would confide in each other and share a special kind of love, but it would be bittersweet. All because your sister still pines for him and never met to make him leave, and Jaune never says it, but he hates how things fell apart. He’s faithful to you and would never do you wrong, a guy to truly cherish. So... you let him go. Watch him walk back to your sister like you asked, because my happiness was worth that much to you.

Ruby:....

Yang: In my world at least. Honestly it’s still the most amazing thing I’ve seen you do. We must’ve cried over that conversation for hours. I felt so guilty and you only smiled, hugging me tight. Jaune and I had a few more stumbles. Nothing serious though. Eventually we moved in together when the world was saved. You and Oscar got together officially which made me happy. Even made our weddings a competition of who’d make dad bawl his eyes out the most. You won by the way; Raven came back into our family and into dad’s arms. Last but not least I had a baby. Yujin Xiao Long, my fucking pride and joy from above.

Weiss:Wow, that’s a lot.

Blake:What am I doing? Did I marry Sun?

Yang:Yep. You and blondes Blake, I tell ya.

Weiss:Hold the phone! Who am I with!?

Yang:Pretty sure you’re technically single. Buuuut, Neo and your have gotten pretty friendly from what I managed to interrogate out of you.

Weiss:That’s, highly unexpected. For a number of reasons.

Yang:Better believe it. Besides Cinder, a few crazies, and Salem, a few people made something of themselves. Dying sucks after all.

Ruby:You have a dead Cinder?

WBY: You don’t?

Ruby:*crosses arms* Hmph, I’ll wait my turn. Yang, you said you’re the only mother from our team. If Blake and I have been married for quite some time then what, we don’t want kids?

The joyful sunshine from Yang slipped into grayer skies. Her smile faded and it increasingly got harder to look at this Ruby without thinking of her own.

Yang:Are you sure that’s something you wanna know? I’ll tell you, but I didn’t want to bring down the mood with the problems where I from.

Blake:Problems? How big of a problem.

Yang:The biggest we’ve faced. It’s...a lot.

Ruby:Well we’ve listened this far. *takes hand* Lay it on us.

Yang:Pfft, oh boy. So...umm...another secret war came up. One that caused us to leave our friends and family for over a decade.

Weiss:A decade!?

Blake:What gets worse after Salem!? Who tries anything after a grimm queen!?

Yang:So a majority of Remnant was still unaware of her, but a fight like that can only be kept under wraps so tightly. Plenty of people still learned fractions of the truth. A few of those people weren’t exactly nice guys. They idolized her efforts and became her followers that wanted to keep her will alive, starting with taking revenge on the people who defeated her. We were so unaware. So caught up in normalcy. They ambushed us, and I mean everyone. We...we didn’t come out unscathed. Ren was crippled badly. Weiss, you almost your brother. Jaune’s family got hit but thankfully lived. The real casualties were aimed to hurt Ruby.

Ruby:Oh, of course. S-So, either you’re about to say I had no time to start a family, or...

Yang:...

Yang:When I tell you the look you made when you learned what happened to Oscar, to Qrow... that’s the moment it felt like my little sister left forever. Till this day you don’t smile like you used to. Very recently, now that it’s finally over, you’ve started looking better, but those ten years were hell. We choose to go out and fight again, avoiding contact with family. I haven’t had a real opportunity to be in my daughters life.

Ruby:How old is she?

Yang:Sixteen soon. Left her when she was four so you know. *tearing up* I missed everything. Just about anyways. Ironically it was Raven and Adam that helped her through the years with Jaune and Dad. Eventually we came back and ooohh boy was Yujin not thrilled in the slightest. Hehehe. Her right hook is really strong. I only had about a week with her before things got complicated again. *wipes eyes* But it’s okay. We left on good term. Something I definitely don’t feel like I deserve.

Blake:I can’t believe a thing like that would be possible.

Yang:Cults are a huge problem in Remnant now. You’re definitely aware of that. You actually oversee a little group from the shadows to deal with them in secret. An idea you got from experience. Adam works for you and everything. Hate to admit, but he’s become the guy you wanted him to be. Even has a family. I’m grateful to him. He personally kept my girl safe.

Blake:To think I’d hear you say that. Now I know this isn’t my world.

Yang:Don’t get me wrong, I still will hit him if given the chance. My life hasn’t been charmed and sacrifices too great were happening way too many times but it finally has gotten to a point where everyone feels like we’re taking steps towards a better future.

Weiss:Moving forward?

Yang:Yes, I was trying to avoid the phrase but yes Weiss, we’re moving forward. Still... *looks at Ruby*....

Ruby:W-What?

Yang:It’s unreal seeing you like this. My Ruby has become so strong and endured but hasn’t really picked herself up completely. All her tragedy stemmed from the loss of Oscar and Qrow; her last talk with Oscar was fight about kids too. That’s the entire reason she went off alone in the first place. Looking at you I can’t help but question my own choices. If...I just let her stay with Jaune, then maybe-

Ruby:Nope.

Yang:Huh?

Ruby:Look, if I know anything about your world, then it’s gonna be me and I can tell you without a doubt your Ruby doesn’t blame or would consider her own happiness without you. She loved you enough to take the chance to find love again. You really think there’s anything you could’ve done differently at that point. That girl is as stubborn as they come! *smiles* So buck up cowgirl. You deserve it.

A sense of warmth came over Yang as she heard those words. This other Ruby smiled at her with the same love as her own; completely caring about Yang’s feeling before her own. Yang felt so...unburdened. She couldn’t help but cry a little, laughing softly as she did. Who would’ve thought love could transcend worlds? It was so vindicating, therapeutic even.

Yang:Ruby, you’re something else entirely, you know that?

Ruby:It’s my curse. All I ever wanted was normal knees but the world said “no, special eyes!”

Yang:Well I guess I should thank the world then?

Weiss:You said your Ruby is getting better? That’s good. Still, it must be pretty weird looking at Jaune. Can’t imagine how lonely it must feel losing a love twice.

Blake:It never numbs.

Yang:Geez you two, lighten up. We can’t all be depressed. Ruby also didn’t lose Jaune. Actually....there may or may not have been an interesting...arrangement for a brief period of time.

Ruby:Ehhh what?

Yang:Hehehe well, hahaha, ummmm a decade is a very long time without feeling any kind of pleasure in a bleak situation. And you know me, I have to share things with you all my life.

Ruby:OH MY GOD!!!

Blake:*grinning* Yooooo! You loaned out Jaune!?

Weiss:That’s....accurate; in a lot of ways.

Ruby:That’s so scandalous! How could you!?

Yang:I didn’t force it! I gave the option, you said no, then you changed your mind because things got real stressful. Like come on, a decade of death and loneliness.

Ruby:Sigh...yeah. I can see it. Still, it’s so filthy. He’s a married man. What, so I’d just look at you and say “Yang I’m gonna sleep with Jaune, don’t come in the room.”

Yang:....

Ruby:What?

Yang:....Nothing.

Ruby:Bullshit! What is it!?

Yang:*scratches head* Well, I was lonely too, and a week is only so long-

Weiss:Oh so it was a group thing!!?

Ruby:WHAT!?

Yang:Only sometimes!

Ruby:SOMETIMES!?

Blake:HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! THAT IS AMAZING!

Ruby:Why are you laughing!?

Blake:Because that’s just so extreme, and not, all at the same time. I could totally see that happening.

Weiss:Same. Dang, Jaune slept with sisters. That’s dangerously close to being like your dad.

Ruby:That’s different!

Blake:Is it though?

Yang:Eh, I don’t see the problem. We’re all grown and make choices. Plus I’m the one who guided you through awkward teenage changes. It not like we didn’t share a room for years.

Ruby:That doesn’t make it okay.

Yang:Eh debatable.

Ruby:*red* It isn’t though! How could I do something so bold!? So taboo!?

Weiss:It isn’t like you’re the one who did it. Just a version of you.

Ruby:Not better!

Yang:Awwww it’s okay Ruby. Let’s hug it out. Hehehe *opens arms*

Ruby:Don’t touch me!

Weiss and Blake laugh until their sides hurt as Ruby tries escaping the bear hug that terrorized her. Yang’s world found interesting for sure. Weiss finally decides to help Ruby out.

Weiss:Got a picture of Yujin?

Yang’s eyes lit up and pulled out her scroll. Her team huddled around her and collectively cooed like that parents they are at the sight of a blonde young girl with gorgeous blue eyes with a black combat school graduation cap and gown and a certificate proudly raised up high. If it wasn’t for those eyes and shoulders length hair, they might’ve mistaken her for Yang.

Yang:She’s going to Beacon early because she’s fucking awesome like her mom.

Ruby:I think you mean her aunt?

Yang:I know what I said.

Weiss:I bet she’s just as hardheaded.

Blake:What do you think your kid is up to right now?

Yang: Well...*smiles*

xxxx

The girl in question sat at a work bench with oil on her face and her hands busy tinkering with gauntlets. She looked over at blueprints in a journal. If they were right, then she was definitely doing something wrong. How her mother made something so complex was crazy!

Yujin:Come on Yujin. You can fix a car, making gauntlets into a sword that don’t break should be easy!

Footsteps came up from behind her and a plate stacked with sandwiches. She looked up and smiled at her dad that gave her a wink, then kissed her forehead.

Jaune:Haveing fun, you grease monkey.

Yujin:Jokes on you, I like monkeys. Just a few more attempts and I’ll have the coolest weapon in Remnant. That entrance exam is as good as aced.

Jaune:Not if you don’t have a landing strategy. Tomorrow we’re going on a trip.

Yujin:Does it happen to be near a cliff?

Jaune:Who can say? Rule one of being a huntsman, be prepared for everything.

He ruffled her hair and left, laughing evilly. Yujin could tell he’s been waiting for this day. She pulled out her scroll and searched through a collection of videos labeled “mom” and found a super early one. She hit play and watched her mother give a peace sign to the camera as trees increasingly got closer from below.

Yang:Beacon rules!!!! Wooohooo!

The camera flipped and focused on a familiar blonde flailing through the air like a doll in the distance.

Yang:Oof, hate to be that guy! Wait, that’s vomit boy! Hahah, hope he survives. He owes me shoes. Poor dude. I guess he needs more training in flirting and landing. Wait, eugh I think he barfed again! Hahaha!

Jaune:Stop watching that one!!!!

Yujin:Hahaha but it’s the best one. The ending is priceless.

Jaune: *walks back down*

Yang:Well if he survives this I guess I can off him at least I can offer him mints and company. Fake it to ya make Jaune. Between me and Ruby, at least you’ll look like a player. Heh, nah, I don’t think I can support a bunny onesie.

Yujin and Jaune:*grinning* And then she did! *high-fives* Arc charm, baby!

TALK TO US ABOUT MASS EFFECT I HAVE BEEN AN INSANE MASS EFFECT/SHAKARIAN TRASH PERSON SINCE 20-FUCKING-11 AND LEMME TELL YOU THOSE FEELINGS HAVENOT TARNISHED A SINGLE FRACTION IN THOSE TEN YEARS OH MY GOOOOOOODDDSSSS!!!!!!!

I DEMAND A PLAY-BY-PLAY UP TO THE MINUTE OF YOUR REACTIONS TO EVERYTHING!!!!

you are so valid and I totally see why everyone I've ever mentioned it to loves the hell out of it

aksdjlsdfj I meannnn if you want to hear my rambling about it then hell yeah

Okay, gonna put this below the cut to save everyone else XD also- since I'm not leaving this Mass Effect obsession anytime soon, if you're not interested in seeing occasional posts about it, please feel free to block the tag "night plays ME"~

(mild spoilers ahead??)

((also for real I mean it when I say this is rambling as hell lol, apologies and no stress if absolute no one reads all this))

OKAY SO Mass Effect 1-

Stars help me, I was honestly hooked right from the start?? Like even in Legendary Edition (the combined trilogy just re-released in one "can play it on one system + minor improvements", for anyone who doesn't know) where it's smoothed out, of course it's obvious that ME1 is a decade old... but the foundation for these relationships are all there and gods I love them already.

Like - Kaiden right off the top is a delightful good fightin lad, what the hell. I've heard that he's viewed as 'bland' by a good portion of the fan community but I dunno, he's a delight and even more complex by the time 2 rolls around and you encounter him on Horizon, it was honestly Ashley I was way more meh about - mostly because before you can learn about her family history/etc, she comes off as hella xenophobic and I was immediately offended for my growing space family that she didn't like/trust all the aliens around, pfff.

(she gets redeemed a bit through further actions/evolving thoughts, but I thought in retrospect it was a bummer that they didn't flip the order there, give her a chance to be liked before the complicating factor of being so rude about aliens >:c that then she could grow from... ah well. Apparently she has a good arc but uh, let's just say I chose Kaiden at the "key junction" in the latter part of the game so I won't be seeing anymore of Ashley uh... anytime soon, haha.)

Garrus??? Is??????? The ABSOLUTE best???????????

I liked him from the start, I'm always a bit of a sucker for a rogue-detective "the system won't bring this bastard to justice, so I've got to" type and all their moral shadiness XD But he just gets better, honestly, and where I'm at in ME2 (right before the Reaper IFF mission, as of typing this, with everyone's loyalty!) I am only digging myself deeper into this hole-

-*wheezing* okay anyways -

Wrex is AMAZING I love fightin' middle-aged krogan bastard, gods. Liara is great too, I'm a sucker for a wlw relationship (playing fem!Shepard, so) - buuuut I'll admit she's a bit more one-note in ME1. Last week while I was still on ME1 I remember hearing (while trying to dodge spoilers) that her arc is really good, though. I think they leaned a little hard on the 'innocent but sexy' sterteotype on her (so despite the yikes aspect of a few of the things I've learned in ME2, lol, I actually really like the complexity that's been added to her character.)

Saved Liara first, so by the time I got to Noveria and had the standoff with Benezia there was the chance to have emotions over Liara having to face her TwT and of course, I made the questionable but quality decision to free Queen Rachni heheh. no ragrets

More than a blow-by-blow of my choices though I totally wanna take the chance to say that even in the mild jankiness of ME1 (goddammit, the Mako.... please..... please just go up this impossible cliff I just want to resource hunt-) the way that the lore, both obvious/key to main plot and the lesser/filler/background/world-building kinds... I just love it. It incorporates it well, you can go ham in the codex learning more, or just dive into the basics - it's clearly a complex galaxy (and they do an even better job in 2 of fleshing it out further), and it never really felt overwhelming. It was pretty natural figuring it all out-!

Plus the interesting implications of resource hunting amongst the sapient races, and the little side missions you better bet I did every one of- there's so much rich depth in the story if you do 'em!! (And that lead with that Keeper side mission...? Looking back, damn, clever foreshadowing-!!!)

And oh my gods, Ilios??? hell yeah. I loved that mission so much, especially having Garrus & Kaiden with me when talking to the hologram/computer, and more than anything, that last sprint in the Mako trying to get to the jump before it closed-???

yeet the boi-

Also mannn I love a good setpiece, and having to go up the side of the elevator, space-side?? such a cool setup!!

Plus it felt good having been Paragon enough (as simple as the good v bad vibe system is, I don't hate it, lol) to avoid one of the Saren fights, ngl. And the er, "second fight" with Sovereign-Saren.... hell yeah

... I'll admit I had to double check my choice re whether to save the Council. I did in the end, but I swear, sometimes the way they phrase things I'm like ".... okay but Garrus is right, defeating Sovereign is more important than these few leaders??????" woops. Listen, priorities, is all I'm saying..... (￣ヮ￣|||)ゞ

'Course later they emphasize (in ME2) that there were 10,000 people on that same ship and I was like well I wouldn't have second guessed if I'd known that, I mean c'mon-

Also I did indeed romance Liara in this one, so I got that scene ;Dc But,,,, I also knew by the end that I was totally gonna romance Garrus in 2 since he's an option then finally,,,,, lemme tell you the guilt as I waffled over whether to romance Liara bc of it. hahaha.

Aaaaand Mass Effect 2-

So I'm only up to right before the Reaper IFF Mission, so I don't know the ending, etc etc lol. That said, I've just finished every side mission I've found with the exception of the Shadowbroker Quest and the Arrival Quest (I've heard the latter basically leads into ME3, and the former is best either right before the Omega 4 jump or in postgame).

So from the start - fuck yeah fuck yeah what a high adrenaline start Shepard noooooo but also yes save Joker aH-

The motion comic too hot damn nice job

I loved this setup, seriously - especially forcing Shep into this situation, having to work with/for Cerberus, and the compelling reasoning given behind "why" they do what they do (I especially found it a good point that the Salarians have the Task Force, the Asaris the Commandos, the Turians the- etc... like, true, when you put it like that, having a similar group advancing human interests/solving human interstellar problems is pretty reasonable...). That said, I love too that it really isn't shied away from how Cerberus is nonetheless fucked up - or its at least done fucked up stuff.

Listen, I still think some messed up stuff is gonna be revealed in 2's endgame......... after that Horizon mission and the Collector's ship???? TIM I SEE YOU YOU SHADY MF-

aaanyways lol...

I'm so so glad on a gameplay level they nixed the Mako style exploration. A few Hammerhead missions are fine and a lot more focused than the slippery ass navigation in that glorified ATV, pfff. The probes are a neat way of getting after similar resources - and more importantly, having good levels and some good hubs (the Zakera Wards, Omega, Ilium, etc) is way way more fun than having a more 'sprawling' space that is.... a lot of empty nonsense, lol.

Then there's the fact that we get Joker right off the bat and you can interact with him so much - and him and EDI??? Get out gods I love them. Kasumi is so right when she says they sound like a bickering old married couple lol. I have a terrible feeling that some shit is gonna happen with EDI..... but I don't think she's evil as-is, at least.

Side-eying the hell out of those "access forbidden" parts of her that she doesn't even know.... and the fact that her AI core has a locked door access................... something's gonna happen gdi LEAVE OUR ADOPTED AI ALONE.

(Also Joker pls stop fracturing your thumb on the mute button)

Also please save me there are so many hot aliens in this game,,,,, the xeno/monsterfuckers really comin' through strong in the sequels............... doin' the lord's work........................................

In general, I love how many levels ME stepped up in two with complexity and interwoven narratives!! Like, to the point it'd be almost a drag to replay ME1, even though it was fun going through it (if occasionally a bit tedious with the cookie cutter rando planet science/mine facilities, lol). Like, just from how fun and interesting ME2 is, mostly! more of all the pre-introduced races, plus new ones, plus more filling in of intragalactic politics, and more interesting implications of all these space-faring races mixing....

Also gods WREX and his planet holy shit,,,,, fuckin' hell yeah my man get their shit together and also adopt Grunt yes good-

And Mordin??? My singing semi-evil scientist best friend forced to confront his choices more than he thought he ever would have???? With some of the best ongoing general report chatter of all the companions??

(when I tell you I choked on my coffee when I talked to him after confirming romance choice w/ Garrus and that 'pamphlet' and 'anaphalactic shot if ingesting-' kajsldkfjsldfjk)

Like, fuck, the fact that they actually dive into the mixed morality and horrors of the genophage, and you can confront Mordin on it, for good reason, yet he still stands his ground, until finally some bits of his loyalty mission seem to... affect him, and I'm guessing might set up things for 3 with him? Unsure, but either way, damn, the fact that they start to dig into it...

And Taliiiii my beloved forbidden alien wife TwT her loyalty mission was SO GOOD. I love how varied they all are?? Getting to defend her and discover what she'd unwittingly been a part of-!!

Zaeed is a bastard but tbh I love that he is and that he's unapologetic in him - and Kasumi omg, best thief. A heist?? Gods, yes- I love our couch lounge chats XD

Samara is..... illegally.......... she's an illegally powerful and beautiful and eloquent MILF...........................

(.... listen I'm sapphic as hell and I'm kicking my own ass for picking her up last aksjdlfksjdfl - but her loyalty mission, damn. And seeing how there's this interesting cultural subset, and the struggle with the Asari in that they unquestioningly accept/respect justicars, but also know that the impact outside their culture is a diplomacy nightmare waiting to happen-)

,.,,,,,T,,, Thane,,,,,

I am weak for morally implicated murder dads okay?? And that voice??? His mannerisms?????? How you first see him, and that prayer after assassinating her...???????? And his history/his people's history with the hanar, gods I love how messy it is, it feels so much more real!

Also Jack is a mess and I love her (and want to get her some therapy, omg), and her and Miranda nearly duking it out after you've done both their loyalty missions??? so good and makes a lot of sense-! Honestly I would love more interactions between teammates on the ship, but there's already so much the devs had to balance I can't blame 'em for minimizing, heh. But suffice to say I also love Miranda and Jacob, even if I'm softest for my alien crew XD Hell yeah Jacob, we'll get loud and spill drinks on the citadel indeed TwT

.... I could write a whole essay on how much I love Garrus oTL Perhaps because he and Tali are the throughlines from 1 on your 2 crew, I have some of the strongest feelings about them... but genuinely, he was one of my favorite companions in the first game, and how you find him as Archangel in two? Getting to help him fight his way out after he's gone nearly 48 hours straight fighting off three gangs alone, jfc. His vengeance quest and what can happen there.... That line? fuck me, that line -

It's so much easier to see the world in black and white. Grey? I don't know what to do with gray...

How DARE you come for my heart like this, devs holy shit

(also, some other choice faves so far from the series from him include We can disobey suicidal orders?? and This wasn't in my training manual... [in 1, if you have him with you @ th Thorian fight] and his whole.... pop the heat sink - in his romance ;Dc)

asdasdfksadjfkl like I said I can write an essay on him PFFF suffice to say I'm very looking forward to his romance scene and where things go in 3

But yeah gods I'm just gonna keep rambling if I'm not careful lol. Gods I don't even know what to talk about it's all so good and while I can understand people roasting the obviousness of Paragon V Renegade (v neutral) choices/alignments, I think they do a pretty damn good job in 2 of pushing it further - to the point that there were some times that I accidentally got renegade points and I wasn't that mad, haha. There's so much fun in the interactions that I just have a good time anyways~

I have so many thoughts about TIM (The Illusive Man) and Cerberus.... theories evolving galore............... and like, what the hell!! Omega 4 going to the center of the galaxy is such a cool twist, goddamn - though my heart still breaks at losing Kaiden (his line if you haven't romanced him?? about feeling like he lost a limb when he lost you??? holy shit.... but I also can't blame him for not trusting Cerberus to the point of it affecting his ability to trust Shepard... like fuck Shep go after himmmm) I'm really excited to see where that goes since he comes back in 3, and what the fuck happens with Cerberus bc while I love the fact that obviously there are a lot of people in it for the right reasons, doing good work, there are those that are doing the opposite, and I have a very bad feeling about where TIM will end up landing....

All that said though I need to do the Reaper IFF mission (where I'm lightly spoiled as to getting That Boy, but not how/what happens to make it so - just that it's apparently wise to have all your side missions done before getting him...) and the actual Omega 4 jump. So we'll see what happens and what I think about it from there heheh!

.... major kudos and genuine props if you made it here to the end, I am so sorry for not editing on condensing all this, and appreciate you so much ;w;

#night answers #night plays ME #(yes that's a purposeful pun lol) #((i sure have played myself by starting this series its so good aksdjflskjfd))

[datingdonovan]

Hello! Hope your doing fine. I wanted to participate in your match up game so here I goes:

My pronouns are she/her, I prefer to be matched up with a boy

Im an INTP, born in november (im a scorpio). Some of the traits my friends gave me are: rbf, they say my face is stotic most of the times, combined with my height(5'9 or 175 cm) I look intimidating. I don't sugarcoat anything and say things as they are, which comes of as harsh or mean sometimes. It takes me some time to get comfortable with someone whether its platonic or not.

According to several quizzes on the internet im a suna and akaashi kinnie

I've never been in a relationship befor. Last guy I had a crush on was 2 years ago and turnes out he had a girlfriend, and after that I kinda gave up on dating and focused on my school (im 18 btw). Not a lot of guys approach me or talk to me. I have a few guy friends but we're just friends.

Thank you very much!! Hope you have a good day

a/n: anon thank you for being the first to ask, and I hope you enjoy!! you sound wonderful and im sort of in the same boat--been out of the romance game for a long time lol so I support you 100% and hope school is going well. we should be pals! also just a general note to everyone participating: please bare with me as I am bored and so I decided to make it a little fun and really go for the voice of y/n's matchmaker wingman here hahaha. just imagine me as that goofy carrie fisher character in when harry met sally lol. aaaand action!

okay I know you're focused on school and you're not really looking for somebody right now, but since you're sorta talking about boys again, I was thinking it's time you get back out there. and I know this guy I really think you'll like!! he's my lab partner... tsukishima.

how would I describe him? he's studious! and pretty quiet and observant. not super annoying or anything, but he is always making snarky remarks about the other kids in our section. I honestly sometimes feel like his fave pastime is getting himself into arguments he knows he can win, bc he's super smart and loves ragging on some of the idiots at the other tables. also, he has mega rbf (but don't get me wrong, he's so cute). basically, what im trying to say is... he's kinda like you!! I think you all would have fun rolling your eyes at other people together, and he wouldn't pressure you to do or be anything too much too soon. im sure you two could just sit in comfortable silence together, each doing your own thing, and still enjoy it. if you have the patience to figure him out in the long run (I probably don't!!!), I bet he'd enjoy spending time learning about you too... and he'd fall for you in due time ;) seriously, you're so incisive and interesting! I'm sure he'd like you! and he's TALL, so you two would look SO good together. I swear, he'd make you totally forget that other guy, and he definitely doesn't have a gf, so you won't have that problem here. ughhh, I wish he'd go for me, but I think he thinks im too LOUD or something??? whatever. anyway, im gonna send you his number.

p.s. anon you're in major luck. I actually write a lot of tsukki so here's a first date scenario I think you might like. just imagine im Kuroo ;)

💕ask game: I'm your new wingman B) send me your personality type + relationship woes and I'll recommend you a new hq man a la carrie fisher in when harry met sally💕

#ask #asks #tsukishima kei #tsukishima x y/n #tsukishima x you #tsukishima x reader #haikyuu matchups #haikyuu x y/n #haikyuu x reader #haikyuu x you #haikyuu x gender neutral reader #hq x gender neutral reader #hq x y/n #omg I hope you liked this?!?!? I feel like you and tsukki would have fun chilling together and he wouldn't be like overly romantic and weir #you all would just slowly fall for each other omg it would be so cute #haikyuu!! #anon #anonymous #long post #also this is a disclaimer to tell everyone im in love with tsukishima in this post I was acting my carrie fisher character #I would be patient and figure out this man I .... think.... hahahahaha #I love him so much anon I hope you do too #im sorry this post was insanely long but anon sent a lot so I wanted to do it justice #<3<3<3 okay I hope everyone enjoys im going to do another now

That I Love You 2/2

Older!Damian Wayne X West! Reader

Warnings:explicit language

Words:1153

Y/N West, deals with heartache of having the one she loves the most not there for her when she needed him

My God Parents Dick and Barbara. My cousin Lian. Barry and Iris. Some of the team members. All came to see, me. Though the one I hopped to see the most never came. I guess I didn't mean that much to, Damian. That really hurts. Why does Damian make me feel so joyful and sad at the same time. Why do I have to love him? 2 weeks later. I'm home, and I'm thankfully ok. All healed up. So why do I feel so broken? Why didn't Damian care to at least ask me 'are you ok?'. I took a literal bullet for him. Was our friendship nothing to him? I lay in my bed unable to stop from tossing and turning. Get out of my head, Damian! I sat up wearing my t-shirt and pajama pants. My room is upstairs with a window. I speed on top of the roof. I take a deep breath feeling the gentle night breeze. I then nearly gasp seeing my brother. He snuck out! I motion my eyes and head next to me. He speeds next to me sitting by me. He put his knees upward and held his wrist. I cross my legs.

He laughs nervously "so hahaha I bet you're wondering where I went"

"uh-huh"

"in the middle of the night?" he questioned with a nervous voice

"uh-huh" I said again

He rubs his neck "Jennifer" he slightly chuckled "guess lightning didn't just give me a chance to save lives it became apart of something so much more"

"Aww, Jai I had no idea and I never new how adorable you sound talking about your crush"

"fuck please don't start getting all damn sensitive on me. I'll never talk to you about my relationships again"

"relationship!"

He face planted "shit"

I laugh holding his arm "just be glad she, cares about you back"

"the hell is that suppose to mean?"

"do you have to read into everything I say" I sighed

"Y/N c'mon I already feel embarrassed as fuck. It'd be nice for you to feel the same"

"gee thanks" I knew, he wasn't serious that he's actually curious and he cares about me

"guess mine is sorta like a bird"

"Damian? That asshole?"

"don't call him that!" I demanded hitting his neck

"look I'm not trying to be an ass but.. He fucking left. He brought you to the Med-bay and then leaves you. You deserve better than, Y/N"

"Jai, I don't know why he left but.. I-I-I--" I feel my words stuck in my throat I felt rejected by, Damian "I still fucking care about him. I am not really mad am just.." I feel my eye's swell "hurt" I started crying

Jai, places his hand on my shoulder and I hug my brother tightly. After four hours of Mom and Dad telling me to be safe I went to the hub. I step inside each of my friends greet me with hugs. I then feel my breath hitch, my surroundings are blurred and I see only him. Damian. Why is he so damn attractive?

"H/N, you're late"

I feel as if my heart is being stabbed "that's it!"

"tt, you still are in need of recovery. You--"

Now I'm really pissed "alright you opinionated jerk! We are discussing a few things, before I really make a scene" I demanded

"tt"

"now!" I nearly screamed pointing to the balcony

We step to the balcony with each of the team members eye's locked on us. We made it outside. I glare at, Damian enraged as he folded his arms.

"you jerk!"

"you already stated such"

I ignore his remark "I took a bullet for you, jerk! Literally! And you couldn't even manage the decency after the shit I've put up with from you! You couldn't even oh I don't know say thank you! Or you could have come to see me!.. You fucking hurt me like that" I nearly cried "say something!" he grunted "that doesn't count"

"dammit, Y/N! I know! Dammit I know"

I sigh deeply folding my arm's "what happened to us?"

"we grew up and grew apart. We're not children, we'll I never was--"

"oh, please you can't deny that I had a little bit of influence on you"

"as I was saying we changed"

"not really I mean I'm still fun and you're still no fun at all. We balance each other"

"you truly believe that?"

"yeah, well no duh. Don't you?"

He steps to me. I look at the ground knowing he is looking at me. I sigh under my breath.

I sadly smile "you must think I'm so weak"

"Y/N, you're one of the strongest people I know"

"Aww Damian you're complementing me"

"tt" he said

Damian, put his hand on my shoulder making my heart race. I place mine on his I shut my eye's not wanting to see the look on his face. Fearing it'd break my heart.

"thanks" I softly said

"enough!" he demanded pulling his hand away and steps away abruptly

"what the hell is your problem" I ask with a brittle voice.

I open my eyes with a heavy heart. He sighs heavily then breathing heavy with rage

"I should be the one thanking you! Dammit, Y/N! I don't deserve this! You need to stay as far as away as you can from me. I'm--" I cut him off

"alright that is it! You're the one who has the temper but I'm done! You are not finishing that damn sentence!" I feel my eye's swell and then I started crying. I hate crying! I continued "because it's a lie! You are going to listen to me! If you so much as think for a moment you are not good enough or you're a monster. Or anything unimportant in my life! Shit, Dami. It's not true"

I cried a little harder because I'm hurting a little bit more. I hate he can't see himself they way I do. I hate even more that I can't stop loving him. I sniff trying to dry the raining tears. I look of to the side not wanting him to see me breaking.

"Y/N, I may not ever comprehend how you somehow see good in me" he takes a deep breath I look at him allowing my tears to fall "I admire you for caring about me given how I've treated you throughout our friendship" he takes a deep breath "dammit if the reason for my heart is aching to be, with you mean I love you"

It was in this moment we broke the walls down together. I touch his chin he tenderly places his forehead on mine.

"I'd be lying to you if I said I didn't feel the same. You know I was more scared to lose you than me dying"

He softly smiled and kisses me. The kiss tender, though longing. I feel myself smile within the kiss.

[just-a-poor-boy-queen]

70s Jimercury

I know this was completed brilliantly by another anon, but I wanted to give it a try myself because it’s such a funny prompt. Credit goes to the anon who came up with this.

Warning for some outdated language regarding gay people (e.g., queer, homosexual, etc.)

‘In my defence,’ said Roger, as the car went over a speed bump and he temporarily lost his balance, almost ending up on Brian’s lap, ‘it was John who dared me to put chewing gum in your hair, so technically this is all his fault.’

‘Don’t even talk to me.’ Brian growled, his expression so dark it made Roger feel like a ghost had passed through him. ‘You’re lucky Miami was able to get me this appointment at such short notice. If he hadn’t, you and Deacy would be arriving to that photoshoot tonight in a hearse.’

‘You’re breaking my heart, Bri.’ Roger yawned, leaning back in his seat. ‘Don’t get your knickers in a twist; the nice barber man will trim your bush and you’ll be good as new for your close up.’

‘Oh yeah, with a whopping great bald patch!’

‘Such a pessimist. Trust me; one day we’ll be sitting on my front lawn, sipping tea, and laughing about this.’

Brian’s face remained bland as a stone.

‘Oh, cheer up, would you?’ The drummer threw up his arms in defeat. ‘We already have one miserable bastard in this band, we don’t need another one.’

Brian sighed, staring out of the darkened window as his mind turned to their ailing frontman. Freddie hadn’t been the same since his breakup with David Minns. David was, after all, his first proper love; he had given Freddie the courage to finally come to terms with who he really was and end his fraudulent relationship with Mary. There was something about David that brought Freddie to life in a way that Brian had never seen before. When David was around, he glowed with an energy that didn’t seem humanly possible.

But all relationships have their ups and downs. Freddie never went into detail about the rows that occurred between he and David, but Brian had heard through the grapevine that there were several contributing factors to the breakup, ranging from Freddie's strained relationship with his parents to arguments becoming physical. But the real catalyst came in the form of a blond American man named Joe Fanelli; and Freddie being Freddie, he just couldn’t resist temptation when it was offered up to him on a silver platter.

The aftermath of the separation had been…devastating to say the least. The spark in Freddie had almost vanished entirely, replaced with an emotionless husk. He had no motivation, not even to perform; his days were spent hidden away in his hotel room, refusing to emerge, even for the most basic necessities like food and water. And the others had no choice but to sit and watch his self-destruction.

‘We need to do something about him.’ Brian announced, as the car pulled up to the curb where security was already waiting for them. ‘It’s been two weeks and he’s barely shifted from that bed. We’ll need to stage a fucking intervention at this point.’

‘One problem at a time, Bri.’ Roger replied as the car door was pulled open. ‘Now hop it, Miami will eat us alive if we’re late.’

They made it into the Savoy without being detected by any lurking members of the public; Brian sighed in relief as he was led into the salon and all but collapsed in the barber chair. He just wanted to get his hair sorted and then leave as soon as possible. He was tired, he was hungry, and he felt fucking awful for making some poor underpaid hairdresser stay behind after hours to battle with his curly mop. He just hoped he’d be able to keep up with the endless questions that would undoubtedly be coming his way; after all, it wasn’t every day you got to trim a celebrity’s noggin, was it?

‘Alright lads?’ A thick, friendly Irish accent suddenly filled the room, and the two of them turned to see an average sized man with a dark, thick beard pop out from behind the counter, a large black gown draped on his arm and a toolbag under the other. ‘What can I do for you today?’

Brian motioned to the wad of gum stuck in his curls. ‘Going to need to take a chunk out of my head, I’m afraid. This one over hear thought it would be funny to use my skull as a school desk.’

‘It was a dare.’ Roger grumbled.

The man chuckled humorously. ‘Let’s have a look at it before we do anything rash.’ He draped the gown around Brian’s front, before opening up the toolbag and setting out the various instruments on the counter. ‘I’m Jim by the way.’

‘Brian. The smug twat sitting over there is Roger.’

Said twat pulled a face. ‘Oi!’

The first thing that struck Brian was that this fellow didn’t appear to recognise them at all. They chatted about nearly everything except music; and when the conversation turned to work and Jim asked what Brian did for a living, the guitarist was certain that someone was pulling his leg. Had Miami really managed to find the one barber in London who had no idea who Queen was?

‘We’re musicians.’ He replied, glancing in the mirror for any sign of recognition in Jim’s eyes. ‘We actually have our own band. Ever heard of Queen?’

The barber frowned slightly in thought. ‘Queen? Sorry, doesn’t ring any bells. I’m not really up to date with today’s music. Does your band perform locally?’

‘On occasion.’

‘Had any success?’

‘We do alright for ourselves.’ Brian glared at Roger as the drummer sniggered in the background.

‘Good news.’ Declared Jim, after ten minutes of fiddling about with Brian’s forest of curls. ‘I should be able to shift this with a bit of conditioner. No cutting needed.’

‘Are you serious?’ Brian could have kissed the man if he was that way inclined. ‘Mate, that’s fantastic.’

Jim excused himself to go into the back room, oblivious to the pair of narrowed blue eyes that followed him, studying every step. Roger, who had been silent throughout the exchange between the other two men, suddenly twiddled his fingers together like a Bond villain and quietly muttered, ‘queer.’

Brian stopped fussing with his hair long enough to turn towards him. ‘You what?’

‘Him.’ Roger pointed towards the door that Jim had just disappeared through. ‘Queer. I’d bet the Red Special on it.’

‘Roger, you can’t just go around calling people queer.’ Brian could feel his face heating up, praying the Irishman didn’t have sharp hearing. ‘Besides, how the bloody hell would you know if he’s queer or not? It’s not like he has it written on his forehead.’

‘Trust me, I know these things. Call it a sixth sense. Saw it coming from a mile away with Freddie.’

‘Did not.’

‘Did so, Brian. Unlike you, this sort of thing doesn’t fly over my head.’

Brian rolled his eyes. ‘Alright, let’s say he is queer. What’s that got to do with anything?’

‘Isn’t it obvious? He’d be perfect for Freddie.’

‘Seriously, Roger? You want to play matchmaker now? How exactly is he “perfect” for Freddie?’

‘He looks like Burt Reynolds, he spent ages gushing about his pet cat, and it’s pretty obvious he has no fucking idea who Queen are. Freddie’s always been a sucker for the average Joe.’

Brian opened his mouth to argue. Then he closed it again, immediately. Roger was…pretty damn spot on.

‘I say we get Freddie in here to meet him.’ Roger murmured, as Jim returned from the back room, bottle of conditioner in hand.

‘Sorry for the wait.’ The Irishman poured a dollop onto his palm, before carefully working it into the gum-infested locks. ‘Let’s see if we can get this bugger out.’

No less than five minutes later, the gum had been safely removed and Brian was a free man again. Miami had already covered the cost for the cut, but Brian insisted on leaving Jim a tip, eternally grateful that his pride and joy was still neatly intact. Maybe Roger had a point; Jim seemed like a decent bloke. Calm, friendly, ordinary in an endearing way. Broad and muscular like Freddie preferred, though not overly tall (though everyone was dwarfed in Brian’s presence.) And now that he thought about it, he did look a bit like Burt Reynolds…

‘You wouldn’t be able to do us a favour, would you Jim?’

‘Just name it.’ Jim replied, still staring gormlessly at the fifty-pound note in his hand.

‘We have a friend who’s in desperate need of a trim.’ The lie fell off Brian’s tongue so easily, it almost made him uncomfortable. ‘Would I be able to arrange an appointment for him with you next week? It would have to be after hours again, but-’

‘No problem.’ Jim quickly came to his sense and shoved the money in his pocket. ‘I can put him down for Friday if that works?’

‘Perfect! See you then.’

He all but dragged Roger out of the salon, wading through the small crowd of fans who had congregated outside the building after being tipped off about their presence, and quickly diving into the car waiting on the curb.

‘Not one word.’ He said between his teeth, as Roger flashed him a smirk that said, “I told you so.” (1/2)

First of all, I am so sorry for posting this so late! I had a really busy day, and haven't had a moment to myself until now.

And now...

I FUCKING LOVE THIS! The earlier drabble by another anon was wonderful, and this one is equally good!

Lmao, I loved this line:

Brian motioned to the wad of gum stuck in his curls. ‘Going to need to take a chunk out of my head, I’m afraid. This one over hear thought it would be funny to use my skull as a school desk.’

Hahaha this was so damn funny, and sweet and oh god simply amazing!

[whiteheartlight]

Image ID: one of my fave Tahu moments is when he’s confessing to Gali about tricking them into the capsules and she’s described as his “dearest friend.” if you’re willing, could you write a post of Tahu’s relationships with all the Nuva as you interpret it? Also, I always found it funny how the Nuva learned all these lessons with hydration (work together, etc) and immediately messed them all up on Mata Nui. End ID.

got a great request from Fish so yes here are some things I love about Tahu’s relationships with his siblings!! okay you guys know I’m a little talkative so I’ll just go one-by-one and reblog as I write more hahaha.

Kopaka and Tahu

I talk about this all the time but honestly the fact that they hated each other so much at first but then learned to be not only teammates but friends and even leader and right-hand man together is genuinely so amazing and something I really really love about their relationship

also they’re funny as hell together even before they become friends. like they hate each other so passionately. Tahu’s such a living temper tantrum about him (literally jealous of Kopaka from the first time they meet) and Kopaka’s just so irritated 24/7 (just walks the fuck away when Tahu’s annoying him in the first book). their interactions are really funny but also reveal a lot about their characters from the start, which is really important. and even when they hate each other, they have each other’s backs!

that moment in their training where Tahu almost makes Kopaka smile because he thinks to pretend to surrender, and Kopaka can’t help but be a little impressed by him. and that moment where Tahu’s just in awe that Kopaka found the Bohrok cave!! they’re honestly both very aware of each other’s strengths and weaknesses - probably part of the reason they work so well together by the end of the story.

I know we joke about Kopaka thinking it’s funny to freeze Tahu when he’s corrupted by the Rahkshi, but his “sorry, brother” is very soft and genuine and he does not for a SECOND mock Tahu’s corruption or snark at him while he’s ill. He helps cure Tahu without hesitation, does whatever Gali asks of him to look after him, and looks after Gali and Lewa like a leader would while Tahu is down - and then fucks off again without explanation to avoid emotional discussions, hahaha. asshole, i love him

Kopaka also protects and reassures Tahu’s Matoran the moment they’re in danger! not that he would let them get hurt, but he’s even affectionate with Takua and Jaller (pat pat). I’m sure they would both honor their duty to protect each other’s homes and Matoran without hesitation

the fact that Kopaka does, in fact, eventually let Tahu lead him is like... okay not to be dramatic, but that’s a beautiful show of trust and forgiveness. Kopaka totally lays down his pride for the good of the team because he sees the good in Tahu and he’s come to trust that Tahu will, in turn, respect his independence and care for their siblings. and Tahu, likewise, sees all the good in Kopaka and trusts him as his deputy, leaving him in charge of Lewa and Pohatu. the bond between them is very deep and they trust each other so much now.

and in fact Kopaka laying down his pride to let Tahu lead is something that happens from the very beginning, when they’re still with Hydraxon!! Kopaka wants to tell the others that they’re going to be in the Toa capsules, but he lets Tahu make the decision - and even stops Lewa from asking questions about it!!! Kopaka has a strong sense of duty, and that duty tells him to respect that this person was chosen as his leader even when he doesn’t like it. that faith in the Great Spirit’s plan eventually leads him to see that Tahu is in fact a great Toa and his leader, and that he was able to earn that respect from his Ice Toa must honestly be a huge source of pride and confidence for Tahu as well as a motivator to never lose that respect and always respect Kopaka in return.

that moment!! where Kopaka!! falls and burns his leg in the lava and Tahu is the one who grabs him and helps him back up!! like yes they would all help each other if they were about to get hurt, but imagine - this is perhaps the worst Kopaka’s ever been hurt, he’s been burned twice now and is probably choking on smoke inhalation, he’s exhausted without his mask and from passing out, and in this moment of agony and fear his Fire Toa stops and comes back and heaves him to his feet and drags him to safety before any more harm can come to him. they! have! each other’s! backs! and they know that!

also that moment where Kopaka walks straight through Tahu’s wall of fire and Tahu is just stunned by this and gets this moment where he sees just how deadly his brother could be when he’s truly angry, to the point that Tahu tells the others to stop Kopaka from hurting the Matoran. it’s that acknowledgement of each other’s weaknesses and strengths again, and the way you protect your brother when he’s not himself. they’re like two natural disasters who see each other for the power they have and learn to balance each other out.

when they have to start a fire together even though they’ve both lost their elemental powers... Idk that just makes me laugh hahaha. Gali’s just watching her idiots trying to solve their problems. I love her

(okay I know even I have talked a lot about their arguing but honestly?? honestly?? let me level with you: they really don’t fight that much after the first couple months hahaha. everyone gets after Tahu for being an aggressive jerk but he mellows out and learns to respect Kopaka and the others pretty quickly and even in the beginning he can be very affectionate at times. honestly I don’t think their fighting was ever as bad as some of the Toa Metru fighting, so try to be a little gentler on Tahu!!)

that moment when Tahu’s so happy to see Kopaka and Lewa and Pohatu come down from the sky to help the Mistika... that’s LOVE BABY he LOVES HIS TEAM AND HIS RIGHT HAND AND IS PROUD TO LEAD THEM DON’T FIGHT ME ON THIS

when Tahu and Kopaka talk about Lesovikk and Karzahni, Tahu isn’t bossy at all and really respects Kopaka’s concerns, listens to him, and lets him do what he feels he needs to do. it’s pretty clear that the contention between them is gone and they don’t have any issues letting each other be independent

some headcanons!!!

I bet they love to spar/play-fight together and both know each other’s fighting styles REALLY well. it’s scary when they fight because they both go wild, knowing each other’s limits, so it can look like a real fight

at this point, Kopaka just has to give Tahu a LOOK and he knows exactly what it is that’s annoying him. Recently, they’ve been exchanging a lot of looks as they try to play politician with stubborn Agori.... but it cheers Tahu up knowing that at the end of the day, Kopaka’s just as annoyed as he is and always has his back

I like to think that a Fire Toa choosing an Ice Toa as his right-hand man is REALLY unconventional and even looked down on by some. people doubt that they can work together or that a Fire Toa and Ice Toa aren’t supposed to get along that well, as it requires compromise on their natures, which are supposed to clash. but Kopaka is not ashamed to stand at Tahu’s side and Tahu knows no one could direct and support him quite the way Kopaka can.

I bet they do still fight sometimes, but they work so much harder at actually having productive fights and calling each other out when they’re messing up without making personal attacks on them or not being constructive about it. they hate having to do this, so most of the time they just try to be really direct and then just accept each other’s criticism. “you’re being a dick right now” “okay, fine, I’ll tone it down!!” or “you’re wrong about this battle plan” “well, show me what you would do, asshole.” honestly, they’ve gotten pretty chill about insulting each other casually. it’s almost affectionate at this point. they have to stop themselves from swearing at each other in official meetings

I wonder if Tahu’s kind of worried about Kopaka after the Last Battle... it’s canon that Kopaka’s really exhausted and questioning a lot of things, but it’s never really explained what lead up to that. is he hurt? is he grieving? is he just going through it right now and under a lot of stress? Tahu can tell that’s something’s wrong, but he doesn’t know what - and despite all their progress, emotional conversations are still weird to them. he’s just hoping Kopaka will be back from that Red Star soon - concerns aside, he needs his deputy’s help dealing with everything that’s going on!!

the two of them are perhaps the most homesick for Mata Nui. it’s partly because they’re being asked to take on so much responsibility now. they’re both kind of longing for the days when they were just allowed to be Toa of small koros on an island that they loved. they don’t talk about that. but sometimes they see it reflected in each other’s eyes when Kopaka is looking off at the faraway snow of the mountains or Tahu finally has a few minutes to sit down with his Matoran and just know that his people are safe.

both also so protective together... if anyone ever messes with their brothers they’re going to be so ticked off, just fuming with anger... I say brothers cause Gali can handle herself and they both know it hahaha

Tahu just. he just really really knows that Kopaka has his back. no matter how complicated things get. Kopaka’s support is unchanging. Kopaka is one of the only constants in his life and he really needs that. at the same time, this could eventually cause some problems for Kopaka if he began to internalize that role and began to feel that he would be letting Tahu down by expressing his own fears or doubts or needs. like I said, he’s very duty-bound - he’ll need to learn not to put his duty and his role before his own health

HELLO!I hope you are healthy! Make sure to eat veggies and drink a lot of water! I dunno if I'm doing it right but How about Finnian or Sebastian with a future!Phantomhive reader? Like reader is Ciel's decendant( look like the female version of him) and vert important to the Quenn and England( *cough and almost every other country *cough) They were hunting some witch maybe but teleported back to past. With her cousin who is Elizabeth's male version, constantly asks her to marry her and etc. They landed right inside of the manor and a fight begins( Maybe reader is kinda half demon half human or half angel half human) She uses every kind of weapons but she is especially good at swords. Ciel doesn't believe of course so she basically tells the whole family history and shows him the ring.Oh and also maybe the same things that happened to him also happened to her as well. When she sees Sebastian she is like " Dude you didn't even bother changing yourself?"

And some last words: Stay healthy, drink enough water, wear your masks and yes, it is a hard time for everybody but I hope that you all will be happy!~

🗡  “Come on! Go and get that, stupid witch!” You yelled over to your group of colleagues and friends. You all runed as fast as possible to hunt down a strong witch, who wanted to kill the Queen of England and as a good-hearted and well paid Phantomhive, you tried to help her. Unfortunately for you, the emphasis was on the word tried, because the witch was too fast.

🗡  “Sooo…. When is going to be our wedding?” You heard a too familiar voice asking you by your side. “This is no the time to joke around, Elijah! We need to hurry!”

🗡 Thanks to the gods above, you surrendered the witch. But she started to laugh like a frickin’ maniac! “Ohh, you know why I did so many things? Hahaha… I did it for a reason! So many people did so many mistakes and nobody ever tried to help them out or to fix their big problems … So… Why don’t you be a dear and fix the mistakes your beloved ancestors did!”

🗡 Suddenly a light dazzled you and when you opened your (e/c) eyes. No! The witch can’t escape her again! So you did the only intelligent thing and killed her.

🗡 But that damn light came again and out of the sudden your group was gone…

🗡  “Wow… That was strange.” But not Elijah. Your cousin. He stood up and walked to your direction, looking over your body to see, if you have any bruises or wounds. At least one of your group members were there.

🗡  “Yes, indeed. But not as weird as this place here.” You said and looked around you. The surroundings looked like London, the city you used to live in, but everything was so… old? What’s up with the furniture and this crappy paintings? You were to 100% sure that you were in your home. The Phantomhive Manor. But everything was so… weird!!

🗡 Before you could have asked your cousin about his little wound the witch inflicted him with, knives were thrown into your direction!

🗡 Fortunately, you were a skilled fighter. You could practically use every weapon if you wanted to! So you used your great skills and blocked the attacks of some strangers.

🗡 Some of them shot at you, some threw knives but then… You saw something weird. A tree!?

🗡 Elijah pushed you away in time, but only got stretched but a branch of it.

🗡 How in the world, could somebody throw trees around!? That was not possible for any human being!

🗡 Now, when you two were on the ground, you heard footsteps.

🗡  “Who are you?” - “Uhh… If I’m not wrong, people usually introduced themselves before they asked others.” – “You are inside my home. I’m pretty sure, that you know who I am, assassin.”

🗡 Assassin? That was new…

🗡  “What the hell? Hey, kiddo. This place belongs to (y/n)! Afterall this is her home for she is a Phantomhive!”

🗡  “Phantomhive?” The young blue-haired boy raised his eyebrow and did not believed any word Elijah had said.

🗡 So, it was your turn to explain your situation. Who you are, why you are here and so on and on. But the young boy still didn’t believe a word. His household even looked at you in confusion. Until you showed them your ring. The ring of the Phantomhives.

🗡 His eyes nearly popped out of his head when he saw it and immediately glanced to his finger. It was the same one! How could it be possible? A young woman with blueish hair, the same ring as his and not to forget a similar past… Is she mayhaps from another world? But no. You retold him everything again.

🗡 When your eyes glanced around, you saw very familiar red eyes. The red eyes of a demon. Sebastian Michaelis. “Ohhh my gosh. Are you kidding me, Sebastian!? Did you really… REALLY attacked ME!? What the hell! I thought that you wouldn’t do such a thing except if we had our training sessions, but this is just…. Oh god, I am really mad right now. And what the hell is wrong with your clothes?” Sigh. “Dude… you didn’t even bother changing yourself? Unbelievable.”

🗡 Everybody was just very confused…. Even Elijah.

🗡 And who knows. Maybe you were unfortunate or maybe not, but you were stuck in the past. At first you though it was your bad luck, but now… Maybe it wasn’t so bad. Afterall… he was here. With you.

 💐 At the beginning you started to count the days since you were stuck in the past or… present day(?)

💐 And Elijah was there nonstop. He would never leave your side, even when you wanted to sleep in one of the guest rooms, you’ve got from your ancestor Ciel Phantomhive. Your cousin just followed you like a lost little puppy, but it was pretty normal.

💐 Everybody thought at first, that he was your fiancée, until you’ve told them that you would never marry him. He was more like a brother figure to you than husband material… (I feel sorry for Elijah D: )

💐 You loved to look around and observe watch everybody.

💐 It was kinda funny how Mey-Rin always slipped and tripped around or how the kitchen nearly exploded whenever Baldroy tried to cook for the head of the household. It never got boring.

💐 But you loved liked to watch one person particular.

💐 “Good day, Finnian.” You smiled at the gardener, who always seems to be happy, whenever he worked with the flowers.

💐 How could somebody so sweet be so strong? I mean… He threw a tree at you!!

💐 “Ohhh… Lady (y/n). H-Hello!” And like always the young blond boy blushed when he saw you. Some might say that he got a small little crush on you, which was so cute.

💐 He was so different and special.

💐 “Oh, stop it with this whole lady-crap, please.” Of course you didn’t wanted to be called as lady by some guy who you were interested in. And that was all. You were just interested in him for his strength and not his cute blushing face… Or how he always seems to bet happy… How he always tries to help you…

💐 Sometimes, you were sitting under a tree, reading a book boringly. When are you going to be in your time and see your friends???

💐 Whenever this happened, Finnian looked worriedly at you. You always looked so sad. So, he went to his friends and asked how he could cheer you up! They of course have told him how he could cheer you up with different ideas!

💐 Mission Number 1 by Baldroy: Show her your strength. Women love strong people!

💐 When you tried to help him with the weed in the garden, you tried to pull some out but it was kind of stuck in there next to the beautiful flowers you loved. The sterling roses. Finnian, the sweet-like angel, walked to your side to help you out. But then… He got so awkward by the closeness of you two, that he accidently pulled the rose bush out of the ground rather than the weed. “OH NO!” – “Oh gosh, Finnian…. Why?” – “I-I… I didn’t… I… NO!” And the blond gardener ran away, leaving a confused but smiling phantomhive alone in the garden.

💐 Mission Number 1: Failed.

💐 Mission Number 2 by Mey-Rin: Bring her something she likes. Like tea! Yes~ She always drinks tea!

💐 Nervously, Finnian walked to you, hearing the voice of Elijah who talked about who knows what until he saw the gardener. “H-Hello… Do you want some tea…? It’s Earl Grey tea… Here…” He said blushing and coming near to the one he fancied so much. But who could have known that there was a small stone in front of the awkward blond. Small enough to be hidden, but large enough to trip over it, which is what the gardener did. He tripped and the tea he prepared for you, spilled over you, making a big mess. Shocked, he ran away after he apologized to you, not hearing a small laugh of yours and the loud yelling of Elijah.

💐 Mission Number 2: Failed.

💐 When Finnian read a romance book to get a few plans, he thought about giving up completely, but he couldn’t do such a thing. The only thing that matters right now is to make you happy… He couldn’t give up! No! So, he did more researches, not realizing that his beloved crush was nearby, smiling at the blonde.

💐  “Okay… What if I-“ – “Finnian!” He looked over his shoulder to see you running to him. “Oh… Is something wrong? You were running… Do you need help?” He asked immediately. “No, silly.” You laughed. “You looked so nervous again and…. You were thinking about something, right? I thought that you might have been upset with something. Maybe the flowers you accidently ruined.” He gulped. Oh no… You remembered it.

“Sooo… Here. It’s for you.” You said and shoved a bouquet of sterling roses and sunflowers into his hands with the brightest smile you could ever give somebody and would make a certain someone very furious and jealous.

💐 That was the day, you both realized that you weren’t just interested in somebody or fancied that one… No. It was a stronger feeling. It was like… love. Yeah, maybe you loved him.

💐 Now, he wanted to confess to you, after that one day, but he wasn’t sure if he was allowed to do this. Elijah would be mad and you were a phantomhive! That was a big no-no! But you were the only thing that makes him super happy…

💐 You might not have the power of mind-reading, but you sure have a great sense in reading people’s emotions, which is why you were certain, that he had the same feelings you had.

💐 It was time to confess your feelings! But… how?

💐 “Ohh nooo!” You dramatically laid your arm on your head and glanced down. “I am stuck here. I can’t get dooooown! What should I doooo?~ Ohhh, I wish for a strong one to save me!~” – “Here, I am!”

“NO! ELIJAH GO AWAY!! NOT YOU! GOOO!” – “But you need help, (y/n)!” – “Elijah, I don’t need your help!”

And that little argument went back and forth for a while, until he came to you two. “You two are having many arguments…” – “Oh, that is very normal for us. Many say that we are like a married couple, right my beloved?~ Ouch! Why are you throwing your shoes at me!? Stop it, please!”

“But you said, that you needed help!” – “NOT YOURS!! I can come down ALONE! Here!”

And that is what you tried to do. Usually, you were like a cat. Perfect at climbing trees and landing on your feet, but this time, the phantomhive-bad luck hit you hard in your face, which resulted in you making a wrong step and falling down.

💐 And here you were. In the arms of the one you wanted to help you. Finnian. He was fast enough (and strong enough to shove Elijah away) to save you in time. “Ohhh, my hero!~” You laughed and threw your arms around his shoulders, smiling at the still shocked gardener.

“Let me give my sweet knight in the dirty armor a reward!~” That’s what you did. You gave him a surprise kiss-attack on his lips!

💐 Oh gosh…. He looked like a tomato! Totally blushing and asking if it was okay to kiss.

💐 “But of course! I might be stuck here in your time… But maybe it is a good thing I am here… I’ve got to meet you and finally love somebody… It was a long time since I ever trusted somebody… But know I can… I have you. I love you, Finnian.”

💐 Finni being a blushing mess and nearly yelling his reply of “I LOVE YOU!” too loud.

  Bonus:

💐 “…. WHAT!? BUT (Y/N)!! I thought we were going to marry!” – “No! She is mine!” – “Pff…. In your dreams! From now on, you will be my rival!”

“Uh…. I already chose Finnian, Elijah… Gosh, what the hell is wrong with you….”

Cabaret Club Czar Training - YUKI (Part 5)

our final round with the objective best hostess in y0! yuki and majima close out their last training chat with some sentimental reflections on how far club sunshine has come.

highlights: - yuki unlocking Lv. 5 Rudeness Abilities (affectionate) - majima’s weird little crush on yuki becoming extremely apparent and getting him all flustered - yuki describing majima as “dependable, dreamy and great” while insulting him in the same sentence

full transcript under the cut!

---

MAJIMA: Alright, let's get another round of training in.

YUKI: ...... (sigh)

M: Yuki-chan?

Y: ...... (grumble)

M: Yo, Yuki-chan!

Y: Oh! Excuse me!

M: What's the matter? You were zonin' out.

Y: I'm sorry. I'm meeting someone after work, and it's all I can think about right now...

M: Oh, I see, I see. Our little Yuki-chan's all grown up. Heh.

Y: What's that supposed to mean? Majima-san, don't be creepy!

M: Creepy!? C'mon, I was just... Bah, nevermind.

M: Well then, it's keep this session short, eh? I'd hate to interrupt your busy schedule...

Y: Th-Thank you. That's very helpful. Let's start the lesson!

M: Right!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

M: It's been a while since that first time I came in here and met you, eh, Yuki-chan?

Y: I suppose you're right, it has.

Y: Before you came in, this place was practically deserted. A lot's changed since then.

> You've come a long way.

M: Yeah, this place has changed, but I think you've changed even more, Yuki-chan.

Y: Oh, really?

M: Yeah, you've come a long way. You were pretty bad in the beginning.

Y: Thank you. Y-You're right. Even I knew I was pretty bad back then.

M: You seem to be able to manage men pretty well now. Maybe you can chuck that relationship self-help book.

Y: Hey! I thought we agreed not to mention that! (grumbles) Majima-san, you're awful! Besides, I'm not good at dealing with men yet!

M: Hehehe. Yeah, right.

> I'm that good.

M: It's all thanks to me.

Y: Right. Yup yup. It's all thanks to you, Majima-san.

M: Hey, now. I said it as a joke, so you can't just agree. Now I'm just an arrogant bastard.

Y: Huh? Oh, really? I'm sorry, I didn't realize. Hahaha.

M: Agh! You've really come a long way, ya smartass.

> You were number one!

M: Yeah, you were the undisputed number one girl here.

Y: Th-That's right, isn't it? There were only three girls here back then.

M: Yeah, you're like a celebrity! The number one girl of Club Sunshine, right here, folks! Get yer autographs!

Y: H-Hey now! Hahaha, stop that!

M: Ha, you're just bein' modest.

Y: Um, well... It's not a bad thing, is it?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

M: You used to have a tough time talking to men. Now that you've gotten used to it in your work, I bet you're managin' it a lot better in your free time, yeah?

Y: You're right. I do feel like I've gotten better at talking to men in my daily life.

Y: I used to get nervous just talking to a convenience store clerk, but now I even have a few guy friends.

M: That's great! But I guess I'll always have a soft spot for the old, awkward Yuki-chan.

Y: What? Wh-What are you saying, Majima-san?

M: (I keep thinking about her “appointment” later on. I bet it's her boyfriend. I wonder what kind of guy he is? If he's a shithead, he's really gonna get it from me!)

Y: What's the matter? Why do you look so serious?

M: (What should I tell her?)

> I'm there for ya.

M: Yuki-chan, just remember... If ya ever need anything, you can count on me. I'll be there for ya.

Y: Huh? Uh, okay. Thank you.

Y: I don't think I'm the type to get into trouble, but since you offered, I hope you'll protect me if I ever do!

M: No problem! I'll be there in a flash!

> Break up with him!

M: Yuki-chan, he ain't right for ya! Ya gotta end it!

Y: Whaaat? Wh-Where did this come from all of a sudden? I mean, who is “he” anyway?

M: Oh, I uh... Y'know what, nevermind.

Y: You're being weird, Majima-san.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

M: Ya know what, Yuki-chan? You've made so much progress, I think this can be our final chat.

Y: Really? It's too bad we won't be able to talk like this then, Majima-san. It was nice when it was just us.

M: Heh, yeah, I guess I'll miss it too. So, how'd I go? What's it like to talk to a guy like me?

Y: I admit I was nervous at first, but by the end, I was having fun. Lots. I got to know you better, too.

M: Alright, so whaddaya think of me now, eh?

Y: What? Oh, um, er... I can't tell you. It's too embarrassing!

M: Aw come on, I'm on pins and needles here.

Y: No way! If you're that curious, why don't you try to guess?

M: Hmm, what does Yuki-chan think of me... Hmmmmmmmm...

> The love of your life.

M: I'm the love of your life, obviously.

Y: Wha... What on earth are you saying, Majima-san!? A-Aren't you embarrassed to even say something like that?

M: Ya know, now that I think about it... I AM a little embarrassed. I take it all back.

Y: Ha, please try not to scare me like that. I thought my heart was going to burst.

M: Sorry, sorry.

> A sketchy, one-eyed bastard.

M: Probably still the same as the first day you met me. A sketchy, one-eyed bastard?

Y: Majima-san, you have a real talent for self-analysis, huh? It's true, you are a sketchy, one-eyed bastard!

M: ...It actually kinda sucks to hear it from someone else.

Y: Haha, I'm sorry. But, Majima-san, you're a sketchy, one-eyed bastard who's dependable, dreamy and great. Don't you worry!

M: Don't worry, she says...!

> A dependable boss.

M: Obviously, I'm a great boss. One you can look up to.

Y: You'd say that about yourself? But, I guess it's true. I hate to admit it, but I do depend on you.

M: Nice, nice. Does me good to hear it from ya.

Y: Haha. Then I'll keep depending on you, Majima-san.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

M: So, Yuki-chan, ya mentioned having an appointment later on, right? How we doin' on time?

Y: Oh, we're fine, but I do want to make sure I have enough time to get ready.

M: I don't wanna pry... But this guy you're meeting... Is he someone... special to ya?

Y: Whoa, Majima-san, how do you see right through me!? It's scary sometimes. You must be psychic.

M: So that means...

Y: That's right... He is... important to me.

> T-Take care of him.

M: T-Take good care of... him...

Y: Yes, thank you. I will. But what's the matter? Your voice is a little shaky.

M: Uh, damn. When ya said that, I kinda lost my cool. Caught me off guard, I guess.

Y: Oh... You're really weird, Majima-san.

M: Right then! Well, we better let you get goin', eh?

> You've moving fast!

M: Yuki-chan, don't ya think you're moving a little fast!? Ya gotta take these things slow!

Y: What are you talking about? I don't get your jokes sometimes.

M: Uh, damn. When ya aid that, I kinda lost my cool. Caught me off guard, I guess.

Y: Oh... You're really weird, Majima-an.

M: Right then! Well, we better let you get goin', eh?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

M: Okay, I think that'll do it.

Y: Th-Thank you for the lesson.

M: Sure thing. Good job.

Personal thoughts on Open Heart, Book 2

Note: As the title says, these are just personal opinions on Choices books and chapters. Of course, you may agree or disagree with them, I only use this platform to express my thoughts on what I read every week and what I’d like to see in the next chapters, because none of my friends play Choices so I have no one to comment the books with.

It’s been a while since I started writing this post, I actually remember saying I would post it months ago. But then things escalated in such a negative way between some people, that I said “well, maybe it’s not the best moment to post this”. So now that the book will be back, I thought it might be a good time to revisit it.

Of course, as this was written before the second hiatus, it’s been done with the original plot in mind, and I don’t read spoilers and the book is supposedly being rewritten, it may be full of mistakes… it just took me so long to write it, that I don’t want it to go to waste! hahaha

I’ve read a lot of people complaining about the plot of Open Heart 2 being all over the place, and some people are worried about the “too many subplots” this book has. Well, sure, there might be A LOT going on in this book, but when you analyze what almost every character is going through (emphasis in “almost”), you’ll realize that they all have one thing in common: they’re all dealing with their past. Also, with a third book confirmed, I don’t think everything is going to find its closure in Book 2. But let’s analyze our gang (they are in alphabetic order, as usual):

Aurora Emery: This girl is so damaged that it hurts. She certainly had trust issues during college and she’s reliving them all over again. Of course, being Harper Emery’s niece is not easy when you go to medical school and become a doctor. Not only people have high expectations on your performance, they also want to be friends with you and you just don’t know if it’s because of your aunt or because they genuinely care about you. Tobias is not making things easier for her either (I’m so ready to punch this guy if he hurts her!), and our MC has been an ass to her lately as well. She truly needs to know there is a light at the end of the tunnel and I’m so waiting for the MC to have a chance to apologize because what they did was the stupidest thing I’ve seen them do so far.

Bryce Lahela: Even though I’m in love with this guy (I always say he’d be my BFF in real life), we knew since day 1 that he was hiding something. Well, it took us over a book to discover that his family has a very, very shady past that ended up affecting not only Bryce, but also his little sister Keiki. Of course, discovering that your parents are criminals when you’re a teenager mustn’t be easy, and Keiki escaping because she’s basically living the same hell as Bryce went through in the past has only made him relive some old feelings that he wanted to be forgotten. Now that the cat is out of the bag, I can only think of some healing process for him that will probably not have its closure in Book 2, but in Book 3.

Elijah Green: Our boy Elijah has always declared himself a “nerd”. So, it doesn’t surprise me at all the fact that he had problems making friends while growing up. Also, due to his condition and what we know about his past, I bet his parents were super overprotective, making things harder for him. That’s why he is having a hard time when trying to keep boundaries with Sothy, his intern. It doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be friends, not at all (not only Ines and Zaid consider the MC “a friend”, but my MC is romancing Ethan, soo…). But he certainly tries too hard to be accepted (and not judged) by his intern, to the point that it becomes a risk for them as doctors.  

Esme Ortega: Our new intern looks like she’s a tough girl, but it only took us one diamond scene to discover what’s behind her attitude. Her life has been hard and she’s basically facing the world alone since she was 14. Even though this apparently was a topic that was addressed and solved in the same scene, it’s very clear that she sees herself in her teen patient with leukemia. It’s very possible that her parents never told her that they were illegal immigrants, so she can’t stand lying to that kid. She knows how it feels. She knows he’s not a kid anymore and that his parents lying to him will only cause pain in the future. Hopefully we’ll be able to go deeper in her background during the rest of Book 2 or in Book 3.

Ethan Ramsey: Ethan is facing not only one, but two conflicts. The first one is a personal one: his mom left him and Alan (his dad) 25 years ago. Now she is suddenly back in their lives for some reason that we still need to figure out. Ethan believes she’s back because she needs money, and he might be right. There is also this idea that she’s actually sick and she needs Ethan’s help. This could also be pretty accurate. I actually think it’s something in between (maybe some stepbrother or stepsister he doesn’t know about needs medical care but they can’t afford it). The other one is professional: with the money problems in Edenbrook, he’s feeling all the pressure of having to make a choice between attending rich people who can afford their full treatments and being loyal to Naveen’s original purpose when he created the team (that is, to care about people who can’t afford their treatments). My thought is that, in the end, both his family issues and his career in the diagnostics team will be crossed and that this will become a turning point in the book (because yes, we still don’t have that “huge case” as we did have with Naveen’s case in Book 1).

Jackie Varma: Jackie’s issue actually hits home. College debts are a huge issue in my country, and I can tell almost every single one of my classmates is facing them now, even though we graduated a long time ago. It’s pretty common to see families struggling to help their kids to attend university and you can’t imagine how grateful I am that my hard work paid off and got me a scholarship that relieved that burden at home. So I can totally see Jackie in this situation: coming from a low income family who didn’t only become a doctor because she loves it, but also because she saw it as a chance to give her family a better life… and this isn’t happening right now. But she is actually doing something about it already, so she’ll probably be the first one to have her “burden from the past issue” solved, she just seems to need that raise that all residents are supposed to get… at least for now.

Rafael Aveiro: Our Rafael (who’s not going to die and who still is a LI in my opinion) surprised us when he introduced us to his significant other, Sora. I mean… what happened in that two-month period between Book 1 and Book 2? This is one of those times when I desperately need a diamond scene for him to explain everything. Because it doesn’t matter if he is your LI or not, he doesn’t seem convinced about this “new” relationship and you can’t change my mind. Also, the fact that he’s been taking more risks than usual is giving me some weird vibes (maybe he’s depressed and he’s been hiding it?). I’m pretty sure there’s something we don’t know yet… and I’m pretty sure that his conflict at the end of the book (if he is your LI) will be to decide between “staying in the past” (with Sora) and “moving into the future” (with the MC).

Sienna Trinh: Our sweetheart has had little screen time in this book, but that time has been enough to realize she’s having some serious issues, to the point that some people think she’s the one who’ll be dying because of how depressed she shows herself. We all remember that Sienna used to have a boyfriend certain specimen in her life, and how she dumped him in Book 1. Well, toxic relationships are not limited to love life, and that’s the case with her. She’s been repeating all the same patterns with her new resident, Mitch. He manipulates her and he’s basically abusing of her good will… just like certain ***hole she used to date it in the past.

Kyra Santana: I did leave Kyra for the end on purpose. Since the end of Book 1 I’ve been saying that she has to die at some point of the series, basically because we must be realistic here guys and we can’t be in denial: no matter how much we love her, our girl only has 10% chances of surviving cancer and before the hiatus, things were getting worse for her. Based on this… have you noticed how Kyra is the only character in the series (besides our MC) who’s not carrying some burden from her past? Instead, she just lives the present and she barely mentions her future, except in two cases: when she’s talking to the MC about her job interview, and when she says that her treatment “soon will be over”. To me, THIS SPEAK VOLUMES, GUYS!

The Freedom of Expression Ep 25 - Installation of statue kneeling in apology to comfort women statue.

K: Hi, this is Dir en grey's Kaoru starting this week's episode of The Freedom of Expression. Joe san, Tasai san, welcome. Well, this show..im sure the viewers will realise this, but this show has a super low budget.

J, T: Hahaha

J: You're admitting that? Finally?

T: You noticed slightly.

K: Um, we usually record three episodes at once, but for the first one, it takes ages to get the recording started.

T: Hahaha

K: Like, (*imitates trying to fix equipment*) 'Huhh?', 'Oh, come on!'

J: Thats right.

K: They can't get the setup sorted at all, and we three are always just sat here waiting.

J: Yeah, I mean, its getting there, but it does take a while.

K: I mean, look at this! There isn't even a mic stand! You have to place it directly on the desk, and its fallen over how many times since just then!?

J: Its a rare sight these days.

T: For sure.

K: Well, anyway, this kind of analogue is what we have..

J: Yes, yes...let's get on with it and put our hearts into it.

K: Yes, lets do it. Um, also, today..we're recoding this on August 2nd..

J: Yes, and..

K: Tomorrow! Well, really its only in about ten more hours. Well, its on here too...(*gestures to board set up on the desk featuring new single info*)...Dir en grey's new single "Ochita koto no aru sora" will be released.

J: Congratulations

K: Well, its a digital release...(*mic falls over*) ..Look!

J: Oh, that. That was quick!

T: Amazing, it happened like magic!

K: Hahaha

J: Its like it was trying to.

K: Its because I touched the desk. Anyway, the single will have been released. I'd like everyone to listen if they can.

J: But its the first digital release for Dir, right?

K: Yeah, the first digital only release.

J: Digital only, yeah...as a result of the effect of corona.

K: Well, when we first announced it, stores were trying to implement self-restraint and stuff, so people wouldn't be able to order copies in store, and we didn't know how long this would go on. There would be people who would have to go directly to the store to pick it up, so in order to get it to everyone who wanted to hear it, we thought we should release it digitally. So its only digital.

J: Is this like a message from the band that you are still gonna release material even in times like these?

K: Yeah, like, we could have waited until we were able to release it with packaging, like postponed it without announcing it, and just released it after everything had calmed down, but as a band, we thought that keeping active, and making new material will give is that link to the future. So we decided to release. 

J: The message is just recieving the song, right? I think its really important that the band stays active, so thats the basic message, right? Of course we want everyone to have a good listen to the song.

T: It was cool.

K: Oh, did you listen already?

J: I've listened too.

K: Oh, thank you.

T: The B-side was also cool.

K: Thank you. Ok, well, for today's theme, can I ask you Joe?

J: Yes, well its this news, it appeared in the news at the end of July. In the north east of South Korea, in the province of Gangwon-do, there is a place called Pyeongchang. Its been reported that in the S.Korean Botanical Garden there, a statue seemingly imitating Prime minister Abe kneeling in apology in front of a comfort women statue, has been installed. So, this has become news. After this was reported, Chief Cabinet Secretary Suga said at a press conference on the 28th of July, 'We have not confirmed any actual connection', as well as, 'Its unforgivable in terms of diplomatic relations', and other such strong comments. On the other hand, the S.Korean foreign ministry made the general statement that, 'There is a need to consider international relations in terms of foreign leaders'. They do not support the installation of the statue, but did not outline any specific counter-measures against it. Appearing as a commentator on a TV talk show, lawyer Hideki Yashiro pointed out his opinion that as it gets publicity, being in the Botanical Gardens where the public are free to enter, the statue cannot be viewed in the same way as a private garden installation. He pointed out that failing to intervene when an action to damage diplomatic relations takes place in such a facility, is seen as if its the state's own view, and that the government refusing get involved due to the land being privately owned is unforgivable. Well, this really is 'Freedom of Expression'. The owner of the Garden used his own money to make the statue, but internationally it can been seen as quite offensive. This has become quite a talking point in Japan and online, and similarly, it also has in S.Korea too. Those who think that Japan should be made to apologize, and those who think this is bad timing and could end up worsening relations futher. Even in S.Korea people are split about it in this way. This is the news.

T: I see

J: This is a difficult issue, isn't it.

T: It is difficult. 

J: In what way should we consider this issue? How do you see this news, Kaoru?

K: Hmm, its extraordinary isn't it?

T: Absolutely...but this place Pyeongchang, it was in the news during the Pyeongchang Olympics. There were those 'Bullet Men' statues put up all over, depicting the perfect male form. It became news, like, is this art? What is this? So, this is also in Pyeongchang, so I wondered whether its just Pyeongchang culture or something?

J: Saying like, Pyeongchang makes a lot of statues?

T: Yeah.???*1

J: I see. But the head of this garden created this with his own money, surely there isn't much of a sense of it being art. Persisting with creating this message and putting it in the botanical gardens, doesn't necessarily mean it was made by the state, and I think it would be quite difficult for them to order the removal of the statue. Saying 'You have to remove it', even though it was built with private money, would be quite difficult. But on the Japanese side, Suga san was saying in regards to diplomatic relations 'Why are they deliberately making our country's Abe kneel in submission like that? Well, Suga has said that if this is true, it would have a severe effect on Japanese/S. Korean relations. He's making quite strong comments about this, but I think this may be a performance on Suga's part to maintain support for the increasingly unpopular Abe administration, by criticising S.Korea. He's moving away from freedom of expression to try and maintain his own popularity. So when you ask 'what is the core of this problem?', as soon as it blows up like this online, it becomes difficult to tell. There was a similar occurrence at the Aichi Triennale, and it also blew up online then too. Before you could really get to the bottom of the question of freedom of expresion, it kept on blowning up into completely different issues.

T: Yeah.

J: First it was all about Tsuda Daisuke's blonde hair.... This type of thing came up at this kind of time again, and I somehow thought it would've been better if a proper debate had been able to take place. Well, because there various ways to feel about this.

T: But in the end, I think this will end up hurting S.Korea, cause I know there are various opinions about this, but if they really want Abe or Japan to apologize, if they do it in this way, it may cause a gap to open up between the two sides. I don't think they've thought about it that far.

J: I see.

T: Conversely, it won't end up with any national benefit to the S.Korean people. It seems like it might hold back progress.

K: Well, but..

Kami: Uh..Isn't this quite subtle?

J: Mm, whats your view, Kami?

Kami: In my view, well, Japan and S.Korea don't have a great relationship, do they?

J: Yeh, they don't. Relations are continuing to worsen.

Kami: Because state promises were not kept, thats natural. I agree, that promises should be kept, that goes without saying. But the kneeling statue is probably Abe, right?

T: Well, yeh.

Kami: I think Abe has a lot to apologize for to the Japanese people too.

T: I see

J: Ahh

Kami: But no-one gets angry about that. Breaking promises is sickening, but like, its probably Abe kneeling on the ground right? If this was the Emporor, the symbol of Japan, that would be really bad, wouldn't it? It would be making a fool of all Japanese.

T: I see

Kami: But its Abe, isn't it? Haha.

J: You're really coming down from above today aren't you, Kami?

K: He's really emphasising this, isn't he?

J: He is.

Kami: But all those lies about the Sakura Party, giving money to his friends, using tax money to do it...

T: I see, I see.

Kami: Doing that type of thing, really, he should apologize for it to the Japanese people, I think.

T: I see.

K: But I bet if Kami was invited to the Sakura Party, he would go.

J: He would.

K: He'd recieve money and stuff..he'd go.

Kami: Of course I'd go.

J, K, T: Hahaha

Kami: I'd do the V-sign and get a photo together.

J: Kami, you're trivial!

Kami: Yep, I'd soon be won over.

J: You change a lot, don't you, Kami?

Kami: I'm affable.

K: Affable? haha

J: Such positive thinking, right? haha.

Kami: I'd want to give off a favourable impression.

J: He has quite a way with words, being able to express that in an affable way.

T: Affable, haha.

J: They do say that these kind of fence-sitters are unprincipled. He said he was affable! Next time Im asked, I'll say Im affable.

*mic falls off desk*  Ahh, eventually!..The mic just naturally falling here. Essentially, I think he does have things to apologize for to his citizens. And Suga san at the press conference, for sure, there is the problem of how this case will affect international relations, but in regards to the anger of the citizens of this country, he should apologize for things that are slightly different. He should make time for it.

T: Well, there is that too.

J: I started to want to say that. Kami's anger is also quite right.

K: Oh yeh, as for our conversation, I just wanted to go back to what we spoke about previously, in our live broadcast before, we wanted people to ask things to Kami.

J: What was all that?

K: I think we talked about it.

J: What were the questions?

K: What were they?

J: Oh, is it this? *points to a section in his notes*

K: Ah, can I ask?

J: Questions for Kami.

Kami: I'll slip up if im put on the spot too much.

K: Oh, please slip up.

J: We want to see you slipping up.

Kami: Ahh.

K: Q) Kami, how can you become a god?

Kami: A god? Thats easy.

J: Do you have to study?

Kami: Use a voice changer.

J, K, T: Hehehe

J: How do you respond to that?

Kami: Yeh, of course the timing of your jokes is important.

K: We kinda already knew that.

J: Well, yeah. I feel bad that we couldn't get this point rolling more.

K: But the viewers probably found it interesting. They'll be wondering what a voice changer is...

Kami: No, they are not in the position of a god.

J: For sure, they may wonder about why a voice changer..But some people might be like, Ahh, I see.

K: Well, they'll probably be drawn into it. Like, 'I just have to change my voice?'

J: Yeh, yeh, yeh.

K: Ok, well I'd like to finish here for today. Please subscribe.

J: Please do.

K: Ah, also, please check out the new single. Thank you very much.

J: Please excuse us.

T: Thank you.

*1 Couldn't catch.

* Sakaura Party refers to a dubious annual Spring party Abe used to invite all his cronies to.

This is a touchy subject, so do please let me know if you think I've gotten anything wrong.

The Pleasures of Life | pt. 5

Genre: demon/angel au

Words: 1.1k+

Warnings: swearing/language, I lowkey was making fun of God sorry if you’re religious 

a/n: HAHAHA BET Y’ALL THOUGHT I FORGOT ABOUT THIS SERIES ngl I didn’t have a plot for this series but I finally thought of something that I really liked 

pt.1 | pt.2 | pt.3 | pt.4 | pt.5 | pt.6 | pt.7 | pt.8 | pt.9 | pt.10 | epilogue

“You should be thanking me.”

“You did nothing but be a snitch, Jeonghan,” you scoffed

“Yeah, but he wouldn’t have gone to see you if I didn’t tell him,” Jeonghan retorted

“He’s right,” Seungcheol piped up

“Don’t take his side!” 

You grabbed a pillow from the couch and hit Seungcheol. He laughed as he stole the pillow from your hands. You pouted and glared at him. He pulled you into his arms, both of you falling back on the couch in a fit of giggles. 

“They’re grossly cute,” Seungkwan said to Vernon

“You’re just jealous because you’re single,” Vernon quipped

“I am not. I choose to be single.”

“We all know your standards are just too high,” Soonyoung snickered

The chaos of the boys arguing over why Seungkwan was actually single actually was peaceful to you. There was something about how freely everyone was acting and how everyone was enjoying themselves that ease your mind. You had invited some of your friends as well as Seungcheol’s over to your place for a little impromptu get together. It was a sunny Saturday afternoon and you just wanted to have some fun. 

Jeonghan got up from his spot on the floor. He walked towards the kitchen, not paying mind to the bickering still happening in the living room. He looked around in your cabinets and in your fridge for anything to eat. 

“You have, like nothing in your house, Max,” he shouted 

“Ah, yeah. I haven’t gone grocery shopping yet,” you called back

The tall male walked back into the living room with a puzzled look on his face.

“What should we do about lunch then?” 

“We could always go out,” Vernon suggested, “Or get take out.”

“I vote on going out,” Soonyoung raised his hand

“Same,” you agreed

“And I always agree with Max.” you glared at Seungcheol as he laughed sheepishly

“Then that’s settled. Restaurant it is.”

~~~

You all decided on a restaurant that was within walking distance from your place so you could go out and enjoy the nice weather. You walked hand in hand with Seungcheol while the others walked along with you two. The sun felt warm against your skin, just adding to the warm atmosphere of your little get together. 

“Ah! There it is!” you pointed just a bit further up the street

Everyone’s pace quickened at the prospect of food. You entered the small restaurant, the smell of warm food wafting up to your nose. All of you found a table near the back of the restaurant that was big enough to accommodate the group. You sat down beside Seungcheol towards the edge of the table. 

“What do you guys want?” Seungkwan asked as he buried his nose in the menu

“I’m down for whatever you want,” Vernon smiled at Seungkwan

Seungkwan cleared his throat and continued to look through the menu, trying to avoid the obviously blush appearing on his cheeks. You laughed quietly and leaned over to Seungcheol.

“And he says we’re gross.” 

The waitress came around and you all gave your orders. You leaned back in your seat, zoning out as you listened to Soonyoung and Jeonghan talk about something. You weren’t really paying attention. Seungcheol’s arm slipped around your shoulder. He gently pecked your temple.

“I’m going to go use the restroom. I’ll be back,” Seungkwan said, standing up

He walked towards the front of the restaurant but paused in front of one of the windows by the door. Confusion and even a bit of fear passed over his face before he ran into the bathroom. A few minutes later, Soonyoung’s phone buzzed in his pocket. He pulled it out, his face going white as he read the text.  

“Y/N, we have a problem,” Soonyoung whispered, “Joshua’s here.”

“Joshua?!” 

You whipped your head around looking for the man. You didn’t see him but you knew Soonyoung wouldn’t lie. Seungcheol was quick to pick up on your panicked behavior. He placed a hand on your shoulder but you flinched away from his touch. You stood up. 

“I have to leave,” you stated quietly

You started towards the entrance of the restaurant, Soonyoung in tow. Seungcheol grabbed your hand and turned you around to face him. His face was contorted in confusion and his eyes looked dark yet concerned.

“What’s going on?”

“I have to leave-”

“No, I got that,” he glanced over at Soonyoung, “Why?”

“Joshua’s here.”

“And?”

“And if he sees us with demons he’ll-”

“He’ll what, Y/N?” a new voice chimed in

Stood behind you was the man in question, Joshua. His soft eyes looked at you and Soonyoung waiting for some answer to his question. You were frozen in shock. Seungcheol glared daggers at the angel. Joshua saw Seungcheol grabbing your wrist tightly. He tugged the arm free of Seungcheol’s grasp.

“You’ll hurt her if you keep holding onto her that tightly,” Joshua tisked, “And I don’t want you demon scum to hurt one of my angels.” 

“What did you call me?” Seungcheol snapped

“Come on, you two. You shouldn’t be here with these creetins anyway.”

Before Seungcheol could start a fight, Vernon came over and stopped him. He reminded Seungcheol that it wasn’t worth it to fight him. You were dragged out of the restaurant by Joshua, Soonyoung getting pulled along too. You looked back at Seungcheol as he stood in the middle of the restaurant with a look of anger and defeat on his face. Once outside, Joshua finally let go of the two of you.

“What were you two thinking?” Joshua shook his head disapprovingly, “Who knows what would’ve happened if I didn’t go in there.”

“We would’ve continued to have fun,” you glared at the older male

Joshua’s eyes widened at the edge to your voice. He sighed as he looked between you and Soonyoung. 

“Where did this attitude come from, Y/N?” he hummed, “They’ve already tainted you, haven’t they?” 

“What are you talking about?” you scoffed, “They’re tainted? If anything, we’re tainted. We do absolutely nothing but live these super high and mighty lives while demons actually get to experience things. They get to live and love freely while we’re stuck on God’s leash.”

You swore you heard Soonyoung gasp, your boldness very uncharacteristic. The air was thick with tension. Joshua’s eyes were dark as he stared into yours. You remained strong despite every bit of you wanting to disappear. Joshua grabbed onto your shoulder roughly.

“I think you need to be reminded of an angel’s place.”

Soonyoung staggered back as you and Joshua disappeared. He gulped as he realized where you had gone.

I know for me personally I’m not really behind the friendship with jo until tiff apologizes for what happened with Lola. Max suddenly having a thing for tiff to me was out of nowhere but also like you’ve said, he wasn’t that close to Lola so like I guess it’s ok? 😂 idk even if I wasn’t that close to somebody in my friend group I would still feel pretty weird about liking somebody that told somebody I was at least friends with that they were better off dead and bullied them so bad. At least without like a real ass explanation lol so yeah. Especially since jo was about ready to beat tiffs ass last year over Lola and Lola and jo seem to have gotten really close so 🤷🏻‍♀️ all of the clips are cute with tiffs interactions with them but I’m just not feeling it cause until they address that I’m still like ???

To me, if Tiff apologized now it would feel fake. Not that she shouldn’t because she most definitely should but I feel like Tiff is still thinking whatever she did wasn’t that important. 

Liking or not, we’re on Tiff’s POV now and I think we should see her as this antagonist still. She’s so so far from perfect, and she’s going through her problems now and I don’t think she sees how the way she treated Lola was horrible and affected her deeply. 

Again, I’m not saying Tiff shouldn’t apologize and recognize how mean she was to Lola. Because she should at some point. 

We just gotta accept the fact that we’re seeing the world through a character that’s not 100% good or 100% bad and it feels like she’s not seeing it yet! 

And guys, come on now! Isak and Even fell in love OUT OF THIN AIR. Maya and Lola fell in love within weeks, had couple fights before they were even an actual couple. Arthur and Noée were...whatever they were out of nowhere too. It honestly surprises me when you guys freak the fuck out when couples fall in love within days in the skamverse hahaha

They’re teenagers, all of these couples are like their first loves, of course they’ll fall in and out of love instantly, they’ll make big scenes out of small things, that’s just how teenagers fall in love and learn for the future, I guess. 

It feels like people are searching for things to not ship Max and Tiff. And I get it, honestly, but the explanations are just...empty. 

Max and Lola barely knew each other, if I’m not mistaken, in canon (that means in clips) we’ve only seen them talking privately once and Max was not the easiest to Lola. With the whole group, they also had a few moments, not enough to create a “strong bond”. Lola was closer to Maya, obviously, and Jo was a weak second place. 

If I was Max, and I was into a girl that has a bad past with a girl I wasn’t the biggest fan either, I would give it a chance to at least get to know them. I know that we’re freaking out over any and everything Max and Tiff do together but not much has actually happened so far. 

MY HEADCANON is that Max is still a little annoyed at Lola at times. Jo doesn’t see it like he does because she’s a ray of sunshine and she forgives and forgets easily. Max is a lot sharper and doesn’t change his mind that easily. He knows how much Maya went through and maybe he feels like she deserves better. So maybe sometimes he feels like Lola is a little much so he doesn’t see the problem in him talking to a girl he might be interest in. Max is probably having the best time of his personal life, starting a process that means a lot to him, letting himself enjoy liking someone that’s not Maya anymore. 

I know we’re all constantly expecting these TEENAGERS to not fuck up, to make all the smart decisions, to think about their traumas and everyone else’s traumas, and be constantly woke and right but it’s a lot to giggle. And at times you just want to say fuck it and do what’s best for you. 

 I’m sure by the end (my bet is even by the middle) of this season Jo will be ready to kiss whoever hurts Tiff ass just like she did about Lola. I don’t think we should take those words of her so literally. 

Like I said, we’re watching an antagonist as a main, someone that clearly has a hard time understanding when she hurts other people and Max deserves all the happiness in the world. 

I think the Lola x Tiff drama will still blow up in her face at some point because even if Jo and Max are easy to forgive and forget, Lola is so far from that and she’ll make sure Tiff knows that. 

And I’m almost completely sure at some point during Tiff’s hell weeks, she’ll fuck things up with Max and she’ll have to see how she hurt him and he’ll have a chance to show her how he was giving her an extra chance and she blew it. If I were to bet, Tiff’s apology might still take two or three weeks to happen and even after that, they won’t be close friends because they’re two girls that are too proud. 

This team is clearly trying to write some of these characters in a completely different way than how they were written before (I think Max is still the same at his core) but it’s not as easy as they want it to be to completely forget what happened before. 

Tiff was still a bully to Lola and pushed her almost to the point of no return. Lola was still a bad person to Eliott and Maya (at times). Max was still a little jealous of Maya before and for that still a little unsure about Lola. Jo was always a ray of sunshine.
