Jason when Batman is here: I kill people and I don't care! I will kill as much as I want! Do you have a problem, old man?!
Jason when he is with the Outlaws: Can you guys try to not kill people? My father isn't a fan. Thank you.

Jason when he is with anyone from the Batfam: Fuck Batman. Fuck Bruce.
Jason when he is with the Outlaws: I want Da- Bruce to love me so bad.

hihi! its the anon that requested the 14th member in another gg and performing a sexy concept!! i loved the ones u wrote recently and i was hoping (pls dont feel pressured to do it!!) of u could continue with the rest of the members. ur writing is so nice btw🫶
bubu, hi!! yes, ofc!! it's sort of long bc im insane, but thank u sm. ily. (srry this took so long lmao?) 🖤☘️
svt reactions to member and their gg and their sexy debut concept (cont.):
wonwoo: 
Wonwoo was always somewhat of a protector for you. He took it upon himself to shield you from the bad side of being an idol. Comments, questions, people trying to get in your pants. It’s common for a female idol to be burned in the spotlight, especially when they’re around 13 guys a lot of the time. Between dating rumors, fans' assumptions that you HAD to be hooking up with at least one of them, he always shut it down even before you or the company had the opportunity to do so. The night of your debut showcase the company threw a small album release party, family only which included a lot of the members from various groups between pledis and hybe. Your group's videos and concept were plastered playing on the large LED display, which was catching the eyes of some male company staffers and idols. Wonwoo was sitting across the room from you, watching as people praised your hard work and talent. He didn’t think much of it until someone asked him if they thought you’d give them your cell phone number so they could ask you on a date. He wanted to tell them no for you, but figured you should be able to fight that battle yourself so instead he beat him to it. A text pinged in your phone from Wonwoo telling you to meet him outside on the patio just so he can congratulate you, instead of just asking you out himself. Not just as friends, but much more.
jihoon: 
When your team manager and the ceo sat jihoon down for a conversation, he definitely did not expect to be asked to help produce a song you wrote for your new group's debut ep. He would have done it in a heartbeat even without the company’s executives praising him and ready to bed for his music expertise. He was always willing to work and help out a friend. When the day came and you stepped into his sacred studio space, he was nowhere to be found, you’ve been in the light colored room often, but never alone. You took your time getting comfortable on his couch, playing with your phone while you awaited the arrival of your close friend. When the door alarm buzzed and unlocked, revealing Jihoon and his arms full of snacks and sodas for you both to enjoy.  “Sorry I'm late, I tried to text you but I left my phone in here before stepping out.”  “No worries, Hoonie. Is it just us then?”  “Yeah, everyone’s a little busy today. That’s cool?”  “Obviously. So before we get started should I tell you the concept?”  “That would be helpful, y/n.”  Jihoon was always a jokester especially with you, it was easy to play around with him.  “So, well, okay. It’s basically a song about seducing someone, we’re trying a sexy siren concept.”  Taken a back slightly, Jihoon couldn’t recall ever having to be sexy or seductive in a concept before, even as trainee’s when the company had you do battle of the sexes.  “Do you have some lyrics?”  “Yeah, here.”  ‘Fear not my temptation, but deliver me from the thoughts in my own head. Using my voice, I’ll promise to make these boys wind up dead.’ “So you’re basically using boys as playthings and then killing them, praying mantis style?”  “Basically, yes.”  “Want to hop into the booth and try some stuff?”  Hopping up from his couch and placing the heavy black headphones on your ears, a sultry piano and bass riff played. You sang the lyrics both you and Jihoon were coming up with on the spot, not realizing the way you were swaying under the pink lighting of his booth. Touching your body slightly, getting into the groove of the song.  “Uh, y/n?”  “Yeah?”  “Can you stop moving like that? I mean I like it, but it’s a little distracting.”  “Oh my god, sorry I didn’t even know I was doing that.”  “You’re lucky you’re cute.”  “So the seduction of the song is working, is what you’re saying though?”  “A little too well.” 
seokmin: 
Seokmin was the most supportive friend you could ever ask for. He wasn’t shy to tell you how amazing you did while performing or how beautiful you looked in and out of your stage costumes. When he took his seat next to the rest of the boys in the glass box of the arena for your debut showcase. He wore the merchandise and clung onto the picket with your face on it out of anticipation to actually get the opportunity to watch you perform without him. As soon as the lights went down on the stage, the crowd began cheering your fan chant, he studied their words and joined in himself, forcing the rest of your team to do the same. The pitch black room filled with screams made his heart pound fast. Why was he so nervous? You came into his view, the bright stage lights bouncing off of your glowing frame, he noticed your smile as the song began to play. He couldn’t take his eyes off of you, he watched your interactions with the rest of the girls, the fans, and even the sneaky look up to him. He truly felt like your fan girl, singing along with you, dancing the choreography, and shouting your name louder than anybody in the room. The rest of the members tried to get his attention, but he was so intoxicated by watching you that he didn’t hear them. His fixated gaze on you had others watching him watch you. When it was all finally over, Seokmin couldn’t leave his seat for a good five minutes, his heart was beating faster than it should. The guys pulled him backstage to congratulate you. His hands were sweating now, pulling up to your door. Seeing you open it, now in a matching gray sweatsuit, halfway done with taking your makeup off. You hugged the various members and saved Seokmin for last. Whispering in his ear how grateful you were for him. The rest of the guys sat around teasing your biggest fan, laughing at the videos they took as he watched you. You caught a glimpse of his face, a pretend smile clearly embarrassed for the things they were saying.  “Okay, guys I’ll meet you at the restaurant. I’m going to take a shower and I’ll be there soon.”  With various goodbyes and see you laters you tugged Seokmin back into the room.  “Wait. Hold on, mister. You okay?”  “Yes, I’m good. I’ll see you at the restaurant, y/n. Good job.”  “Stop it. I could tell you were embarrassed by them. Why?”  “Not exactly, I guess I should’ve been more careful how I was reacting out there with all your fans. If they have those videos then someone else does too. I’m sorry.”  “Why are you sorry? Those are the sweetest videos ever. You looked so happy, Seok.”  “I feel like I embarrassed you or something.”  “You? You could never embarrass me. I love you. Wait here? Come to the restaurant with me.”  “ I’ll wait for you always.”  “Good. Let’s keep it that way.”  And with a peck on Seokmin cheek, you both spent the night reading all the comments about how sweet his support for you was. 
mingyu: 
Mingyu got the opportunity to be a special MC for the week of your group's new debut, meaning he would get many opportunities to see you and your friends in action on stage and interview you during the broadcast. When the time finally came and you were waiting for your interview he was prompted by the producer to take the side of the interview stage next to you, simply because fans would love it. Watching you parade onto the stage in your small denim shorts and corset top adorned with black ribbons and lace, made Mingyu’s heart swell. The way your newly blonde hair cascaded down your exploded back was distracting him from his duties as host, just up until the slate came into his view.  “Hello, everyone, welcome back we’re here celebrating a new debut today, please welcome Spice. Hello hello.”  Claps rung through the studio as your eyes linger on Mingyu’s exposed fangs.  “Mingyu, what is it like seeing y/n up here with a group other than Seventeen? Jealousy? Happiness?”  Jungwoo’s comments made the rest of your team giggle, watching the over six foot man still tower over you while you stood on the riser next to him.  “Jealousy, for sure”  “And y/n or the rest of spice how do you girls feel having a self proclaimed kpop fossil in your midst, how are you dealing with her ex-members? Are they in your business all the time? Do they offer advice?”  “Well, I know Mingyu’s lying when he says he’s jealous. He actually texted me last night and told me he was proud of me and excited I’m out of his hair now.”  Your members agreed with you, stating they saw the text too while you were all preparing for your showcase.  “That’s not true. The pride was, but we miss having y/n around to keep us in check.”  “Okay, Spice members, we wanted a sneak peak of your debut stage for your song ‘Red Lips’ which one of you would like to give us a little tutorial on the choreography and an intro to the song?”  Unanimously your members chose their leader, you to give the two boys a sneak preview of your new track.  “Spice’s famous leader y/n, let’s go. Music Queue.”  You began the point dance by squatting, tracking your movements with your hands up your body, before spinning your frame around so your back was facing the camera with your hurt in full display. When the clip ended Mingyu put his large frame in front of you so the camera couldn’t hold the shot too long, protecting the last of the innocence you once had when he met you.  When your interview was finally over you and Mingyu ended it with a tight hug where he picked you up off your feet  that was caught on camera.  Safe to say the internet shippers went wild for a long time after that.
minghao: 
Minghao was doing an interview for a fashion magazine alongside the other 97’ members where they were being asked about some of their favorite things. Mingyu brought up your group's new song ‘Pure’ and Seokmin brought up how beautiful the music video was, both of them talking over each other about how fun the song is, and how it makes them feel excited when they work out. Minghao was just sitting nodding along, non-verbally agreeing that your group had some of the best new music in the industry and that you’ll be the next breakout idol group. The interviewer then asked other than the newest song by you, which song was their favorite, just keeping the conversation going. Mingyu still answered ‘Pure,’ Seokmin said it was the ballad of your album called ‘Skeletons.’ And Minghao said your first title track, ‘All Over.’ Which was actually banned in many schools for being too addictive, mainly due to the content of the video or maybe the explicit lyrics. When he was asked to elaborate he just simply said that he loves when people feel confident enough in themselves to do whatever they want. The clip was circling the internet, making silly jokes about how maybe Minghao sits around, watching you do scandalous moments for his own pleasure. Which was far from the truth, but he didn’t mind. Getting the opportunity to perform at the same time as you on a music show meant he would get to see the song live for the first time. He watched your group parade around the stage in small skirts and button down tops, imagining himself doing the partner choreography with you instead of the dancer you got assigned. When it was finished you came off the stage, right into his view.  “Better in person?”  “Maybe. I don’t think you're very into your dance partner though, no chemistry.”  “Really? He’s cool and not bad on the eyes, but yeah he’s not very interesting. Kind of a wet blanket actually.”  “A wet blanket?”  “Yeah, you know no substance. Soggy, whatever.”  “Maybe you should ask to swap to someone else?”  “No, it’s alright. He did try to ask me out at practice the other day though, literally in the exact moment we were doing that wild floor part, not really the best moment to ask someone out when they’re on top of you. But, go off.”  “He asked you out?”  “Yes..”  “Why? What the hell. That’s unprofessional.”  “It’s okay, Hao. I told him no.”  “You really should get a new partner.”  “Like who?”  “Me. I can think of lots of other stuff to ask you if you’re on top of me.”  “Oh my god.”  “Wait, that came out so wrong. Not what I meant.”  “Are you sure? I was a little excited.”  “Oh. Well in that case, meet me later in the practice studio. Let’s try it out.”  “You’ve got yourself a deal, partner.” 
seungkwan: 
After watching your debut, Seungkwan was wildly proud and supportive. He’s watched your confidence grow an exceptional amount alongside him. The praise from the fans felt like it was for him a little bit too, not in a selfish way but just because you blossomed into adults together. A few of the idols from your company got asked to be a part of a reality show about a day in the life of an idol, you and seungkwan both agreed knowing it would be fun to do together, especially since you haven’t had many opportunities to interact due to your busy schedules. For promotions of the new season you were paired together for interviews with various magazines and online programs. In the interview with Marie Claire the journalist had you play a game of truth or drink where you sat facing each other and the table between you had stacks of questions. You both were doing well, laughing, getting slightly buzzed on the shots of tequila that were provided until Seungkwan pulled a truth question, trying to buy himself a chance to skip a drinking turn. “What would you do if another idol was making a pass at the other player in front of you? How would you react?”  “What kind of question is that? Drink, Kwan” “Can I pick another one?”  You and Seungkwan were giggling and laughing over the prospect of someone making a pass at one of you in front of the other, the PA prompted him to either answer or move on, he wasn’t able to pick another option.  “Ok, I’m going to drink.”  “Ah, come on. Now I’m curious.”  “I’ll tell you later.”  Seungkwan and you finished up the last of your interviews and headed into the black suv parked outside of the studio.  “So tell me now about that question.”  “It’s just weird to think about anybody asking you out, I mean I know some have tried, but you’ve always turned it down. If someone did it in front of me? Damn. I’d probably laugh in their face first of all, which is rude I know. After that I’d probably yell at them how disinterested you would be.”  “But, what if it’s someone I’m interested in?”  “Please, who are you interested in, you've never said anything before?”  “You.”  “No way. Stop fucking around, y/n.”  “I’m serious. Deadly actually. I’ve always had a crush on you, why would any sane single person turn down half of these guys that are asking me out unless they’re interested in someone else.”  “You’re sane?”  “Shut up. I’m being serious. Stop being an ass, I’ll cry.”  “Then if I send your manager a card asking for permission to date you, will you accept it?”  “Why not just ask me yourself?”  “I’m a traditionalist.”  “Then you’ll just have to see what she says when you do.” 
vernon: 
Naturally Vernon wasn’t a jealous guy, he was just some dude that couldn't care less what other people were up to. He was so excited when he heard that you’d be debuting with new girls at the company, proud that they chose you to lead them with all of your experiences alongside him and the other members of your group. You and Vernon always had a special bond being the same age, having similar stories of how you became an idol, he appreciated having someone around who could understand him only through body language as did you. He came to surprise you and your new team on the day of your debut, carrying coffees, helping the staffers with luggage’s, bandaids, holding the hair and makeup team's bags. He really just wanted to show you he cared and was excited that you were moving on to bigger and better experiences in this industry. Vernon was never one to ask too many in depth questions about concepts and costumes, he knew the company would take care of you and he didn’t want to spoil the surprise for himself. As you were getting ready to take the stage, your manager asked him if he wanted to take a seat with them backstage and watch the view from the side. He told them no, mainly because he didn’t want to be a distraction and also everybody knows the side view is never exciting to see for the first time. As the team filtered out of your holding room Vernon took his place on the leather couch, watching your unit get into their positions. He never noticed your outfit until now, a black leather jacket, tight white tank top, and a pair of tight leather shorts with garters attached running the length of your bare legs all the way down to your chunky loafers. It’s not that he never thought you were beautiful before, but something changed now. He decided to open his Twitter app, seeing what people were saying about your group as you continued your performance. Vernon wished he hadn’t seen the comments about you made by men over half your age about what they’d like to do to you after seeing your bare legs. Suddenly he realized he wasn’t the only one gunning to be with you, but he was the only one who stood a chance. 
chan: 
Chan always made you feel special, when he heard your group's new song it gave him an idea to beg your production team for a cut so he could create a Danceology as a surprise. Something big and dramatic to make you feel good and maybe a little to impress you. He enlisted the help of his friends Yeonjun and Changbin to make it extra fun for his fans to see three well liked idols performing a sexy girl group choreography made by him. The day came where it was about to be uploaded, so he arranged a small get together with the two of you to watch it’s release on YouTube, you weren’t sure why he asked you to come hangout with his friends and do a weverse live with him, but you never missed a chance to see him especially now with your busy schedules.  “Hello guys. So we’re doing this very special live for y/n actually. I have a surprise.” “A surprise? It’s not my birthday, channie.”  “Doesn’t matter. I may or may not have made a very special danceology episode for you.”  “What the fuck, oh sorry. What? Why did you do that?”  “Because I wanted to, the reason we’re here on live with everyone is to watch it before it goes up and you can see it before they do. Sorry everyone.”  “Okay, yes. Thank you, show me, show me, show me.”  “Alright, y/n may I present to you a special danceology to Spice’s ‘Pitch Black.”  The pair of you both clapped your hands as your manager pressed play revealing Chan, Changbin, and Yeonjun wearing black tank tops and different shades of ripped jeans, a match from the music video your group had just released.  “Oh my god. This is insane.”  Chan didn’t say anything back, but just kept watching you watching his gift for you, until he noticed your eyes click to one of the other three in the trio. A gut feeling had him knowing that your attention wasn’t only on him, but he shoved it down until the fade out of the song came on.  “Wow. You guys killed that shit. Yeonjun and Changbin thank you guys too, it was amazing. Thank you.”  “You liked?”  “Chan, it was so good. That part where Yeonjun came into the front and did the hip swivel thing? Iconic.”  “What about me?”  You ruffled his hair, laughing confused why he was so serious after you made the comment about his tall friend.  “You looked very cute.”  “Cute? That’s it.”  Aware you were still broadcasting live, you pulled your phone out to text Chan and remind him of it, he told the fans that you guys will come back after going out for some dinner to talk more and reminding them to watch the video before you go live again before saying goodbye.  “What was that, y/n?”  “What? It was amazing, I told you? Did I say something wrong?”  “It’s nothing, just nevermind. Let’s go get some food.”  “No come on, no angry eating. What’s wrong?”  “Just, I guess I’m jealous. I did all of that for you and you were stuck watching my friend. I’m sorry.”  “Because I complimented him on one part over you? That doesn’t mean anything, you were so good. I couldn’t take my eyes off of you the entire time aside from that. You were amazing.”  “Yeah, emphasis on cute huh?”  “If I tell you how sexy you look, will you stop pouting and buy me dinner?”  His award winning smile crept onto his lips.  “Only if you tell me ten more times.”

can i ask for a small favor? can you rant about daemon targaryen please? i just re-read your team green 💚 post and i'm reminded of how much ick i feel towards that character, especially in the wake of the team trailers being released.
hiii!!! tysm for this ask i was super happy when i saw it in my inbox i'm flattered people want to hear my opinions lol
my thoughts about daemon are very convoluted. i think he has the potential to be a very interesting character but it's kinda canceled out by the incest and pedophilia thing.
like. i understand it's an incest dragon show but my main issue with team black when it comes to their criticisms. they love to spout endless words about how aegon is a rapist and how alicent is a rape apologist for not... idk slitting his throat i guess.
it's really ironic to me, because these same people will turn around and then yap about how daemyra is the perfect ship. they'll be aghast when you even slightly suggest you enjoy aegon's character in any way but be in an uproar if you dare bash their dashing and roguish prince daemon.
honestly, name one terrible thing aegon did and i'll be able to give you something daemon did that is arguably worse than that.
aegon - raping a servant girl in the show (which honestly i'm treating more as a fanfiction considering how terribly written both the greens and the blacks are).
daemon - uhmmmm probably the whole thing with nettles. you know. the sixteen year old girl he groomed and raped (yes raped because minors aren't able to consent). actually, now that i think of it, he did the exact same thing with rhaenyra too, huh? or does team black find the whole fleabottom episode to be hot and rhaenyra being sexually free? that seems like the sort of thing they'd take from that whole fiasco.
on the topic of blood & cheese: the way some people defend this is honestly sickening.
'but poor luke was killed by his terrible uncle aemond' he was an envoy of war (not to aemond, btw, he owed him no safe haven) and also he kinda. yk. took out his eye. i'm not saying luke deserved to die, but i'm going to be honest this is one of the more mild things that happened during the dance.
whether luke deserved to die (which i'd like to reiterate: i do not think he did. i can understand WHY aemond killed him, but that is not me EXCUSING him. this is for those of you who don't know how to read and will inevitably find a way to start putting words in my mouth) b&c is completely unexcusable.
it's team feminism until its a woman who doesn't fit your little box of badass hottie. it's team feminism until that woman doesn't bow down to rhae-rhae and betray her own family and children in order to join the 'good side.' it's team woman until you point out that rhaenyra was groomed by daemon and continues to make decisions that are decidedly anti-feminist.
this is why i can't stand team black stans who say things like 'i hate the greens except for helaena bc she didn't do anything wrong' because you quite literally cannot do that without admitting that helaena suffered because of the blacks NOT the greens.
helaena suffered bc of DAEMON not because of any actions taken by the greens. DAEMON was the one who orchestrated b&c, the one who sent men to terrorize her and kill her children.
daemon did that.
i have no problem with people who can admit that their faves have flaws. i admit aemond's flaws, daeron's flaws, aegon's flaws. the problem i have with daemon is that his stans are so insufferably annoying and they literally cannot do any of that.
my last thought about daemon (at the moment, at least) is his relationship with strong boys.
lots of tb likes to say that daemon loved those boys like his own and would never do anything to hurt them. and i... honestly find it a little strange, and also a little embarassing, because how am i going to have a better grasp on his character than those that love him most???
i genuinely believe that daemon, had rhaenyra ascended to the throne like viserys planned, he would have caused 'unfortunate accidents' for the strong boys in order to get his blood on the throne. which, btw, was one of the main reasons viserys named rhaenyra heir, to keep daemon from sitting on the throne.
i think it the succession crisis had been between daemon and rhaenyra instead, it would have been a much more interesting storyline.
then again grrm isn't that good at writing interesting storylines when it comes to daemon considering he's a self-insert. honestly i wouldn't be surprised if when he died it was found out that grrm had a fanfiction written somewhere where daemon survived the fight with aemond and got to live out the rest of his boring ass life grooming little girls. who knows.

FEM ALIGNED PLEASE DNI!!
Promt: you (m/n) get home from school and because price adopted you when you get home it's at the base. One day school was just not it for you so you came home pissed and the team comforts you
M/n pov
I was about ready to generally kill someone, people and teachers all day have been yelling at me and looking at me weird, I have no fucking idea why but they are and it's annoying. I sit down on my bus not wanting anyone from the team pick me up today "hey you!" I sigh and turn to the group of people behind me "what" I don't want to talk to anymore people than I already have to so finding out what these people want will hopefully make them the last people I need to speak to. "Is it true that you got adopted by a military team?" Confused I nodded "yeah the captain was allowed to legally adopt me" they all started to giggle and laugh, rolling my eyes I turned back around and watched as the bus drove by place by place "are you sure they won't use you as an experiment, stupid lab rat, how did they even find you" I stayed quite and looking at them at all. It was finally my stop about a few minutes away from the actual base "go have fun doing tests LAB RAT!" I started walking kicking a rock as I don't not bothered to look up at all.
When I get to base the first person to greet me like normal is Ghost, or as I call him Si because well, we are close, duh wtf, anyways. I look and ghost and I think he can tell im not in a good mood, this was proven even more as I bumped into him not bothered to even apologize or help him up because he didn't expect it from me he ended up falling. I was walking to my room any recruits that was by me moved out the way.
Ghost pov
I didn't expect to be pushed into the ground today but I guess I should have been because m/n just stormed off "what's wrong with the lad?" I dusted my pants and turned back to soap who had asked the question "I don't know. Definitely something with school though" suddenly a newer recruit came up to us in a slight panic "Is l/n ok?? He's crying in his room and-" (btw l/n means last name if you didnt know💀) I felt worry bubble up inside worried for what he might have done to himself by now or what had happened while at school
Nobody pov
"we will go check on him" Soap and Ghost both shared a look before they went to go get Gaz and Price to check up on you, they all got to your room to hear you break something that sounded like glass so price's fatherly instincts kicked in and he opened the door and went to make sure you are ok but when he got close and you backed away teary eyed it made him pause "it's ok, can I make sure you didn't hurt yourself?" You shook your head and grabbed the closest item to you which was a a hard cover book "don't get close. Get out. Leave me alone." The hurt look in all of their eyes was unreal, price shook his head "we cant leave you alone. Your throwing stuff and you might get seriously hurt" you started to cry even more "m/n please. We can help with whatever feelings you might have right now" you continued to not let them near you.
"JUST GET OUT. I'M NOT YOUR LAB RAT. GET. OUT. I WON'T LET YOU NEAR ME, YOUR JUST GOING TO USE ME FOR EXPERIMENTING" you threw the book and started to scream at them all to get out. So they listened for once and stepped out the room in shock by what you had said "does he..... Does he think we are using him as an experiment.... Oh god.... What did-" they all sat outside your room listening to you cry and mumble stuff they couldn't make out into sentences, finally your door slowly started to open a bit and there was a hushed whisper "um...hey pa...can you... Can um... Help me... I cut my hand on the pot I broke....if you don't that's fine it's just.... It hur-" price instantly opened his pocket and came towards your door "of course I'll help you buddy, that's what I'm here for isn't it? To help people. Especially my son" slowly the door fully opened and you showed price the cut on the palm of your hand and he took the bandages along with some alcohol wipes "it's going to burn" he then started to clean it while you sucked in a breath from the pain "and there we go. It should be good in a few days maybe a week or so" you nodded and looked down at the ground.
"I'm sorry.. For.. My lash out... If you want to make me clean around the base or help clean up after practice and stuff I will....i'd understand if you even wanted to ma-" there was a little bit of laughter and you look at them confused "you did nothing wrong and I won't make you clean up anywhere. Other than your room. But you were simply trying to deal with emotions which is difficult when you are young. We weren't and aren't mad at all. We were just worried about you" he opened his arms and you hugged him tightly tears spilling over again
(Time skip to dinner time)
You were allowed to have your phone out during dinner sometimes and because of what had happened a few hours ago they let you have it out while eating, you were clearly texting a very long and thought out text to whom the team had no idea who "not to introduce bud but who are you texting? That's a long time you've been texting and you haven't stopped" you stopped and looked up confused "oh my friend who lives in Florida" (idk my bff lives there so I'm baseing it off of that 😭😭 btw I have no idea if the base is in the US or in the UK bc yk.....ghost price and gaz and British.. So.... Don't murder me😭) they all were happy you have someone other than them to talk to but they were also confused on what was so important or interesting to type that long "aboutttt.... What exactly..." You looked at your phone typeing a few things before pressing send then turning your phone towards them Ghost taking it carefully "it's long so while you read that I'mma finish eating" they all nodded and surrounded Ghost to read the conversation
(Blue crayon eater is your bff btw and u/n is your username)
🌈blue crayon eater🌈: hey how have you been?
U/n: not that good to be honest, eating dinner rn but they let me have my phone so here I am
🌈Blue crayon eater🌈: you wanna vent to me about it?
U/n: as long as it's ok with you then yeah that would be nice
🌈Blue crayon eater🌈: ofc you can talk to me, send as long of a text as your want and I'll still read it
U/n: thanks dude, give me a bit I'm going to type a bunch now 💀
🌈blue crayon eater🌈: ok 👍
U/n: so today on the bus a group of kids asked me if it was true that I was adopted by Price and the team and when I told them that I was they all laughed and called me a lab rat and it hate me feel fucking terrible but I also know that they don't know about how my parents literally left me in the middle of a building that they knew damn well was going to be attacked and that if it wasn't for Soap finding me while making sure all enemy's were gone and taking me out of that shit hole before it got blown up. To make matters even worse this practically destroyed my confidence to ask the team and Laswell If they would even show for bring a hero to lunch but now I feel like they are to busy or wouldn't care to show up for me, I just wish that kids werent such shit and that the team isn't mad at me for getting angry
🌈Blues crayon eater🌈: Maybe talk to them about it? I'm sure that they would make sure that they can show up for it, they love you and if they didn't love you then they wouldn't have saved you or comforted you when they broke down today
You were looking at you food not bothering to look up at the team scared of what they would say "I can ask Laswell if we are free tomorrow, we should be because from what I remember we have nothing going on" you nodded still not looking up "and we were never mad at you, also if would would like we can talk to the school about those kids" you smiled and nodded looking up at them now "thank you guys, I love you so much" you got your phone back and said thanks to you friend then told them you were going to finish eating.
(Time skip to the lunch thingy)
You were in your science class when the teacher got a call and obviously had to pick up the phone, what confused you was when it was the office calling you down so you get a pass leave your stuff and start walking to the office to see what they need from you or who's here for you. What you didn't expect was the team (still in gear and looking absolutely terrifying) and Laswell "what are you guys doing here? Don't you have work or something of the sorts?" Laswell shook her head "nope, I cleared our schedule for today and now we're are going to be here for lunch with you and we told the office about the kids and they said it's fine for us to be in the back of classes to make sure nobody trys anything" you smiled and hugged her "thank you so much"
When it came time for lunch the team had brought you your favorite food so you all sat at your normal lunch table ignoreing all the looks and the people talking "did you all purposely show up in gear or??" They all smiled and shook their heads "laswell honestly just told us to get into the car and that we are going to be at your school" you laugh and continue to eat. Everyone decided it would be nice to go outside and walk around chatting and enjoying the company, this was until the same kids that had called you a lab rat had seen you with the team and walked up to you all laughing making to uncomfortable and your mood change which the team took notice of instantly "hey m/n are these the people you mentioned?" You nod slightly "nice to meet you I'm a friend of his" you feel Simon get closer to you by the look on the groups faces "wow you mask is so cool! Why do you wear it? Insecu-" "you shouldn't ask that...its private and personal information you-" you were cut off by a slap to the face "nobody was talking to you Faggot" (I'M GAY I CAN SAY THIS BTW DON'T GET MAD!!) your eyes went wide as you felt the burning hot flesh, suddenly you we pulled back and behind the team laswell making sure you were ok "don't you ever, and I mean EVER lay a single finger on my son" you had tears in your eyes and your legs felt weak making you fall to the ground laswell making sure you didn't fall to hard "hey, hey, m/n are you alright?" You saw one of the teachers start to walk over to you and price looked at her "what happened here?" Prince looked at the kid and then back at the teacher "this kid hit my son and called him a slur in a hurtful way, this kid and his friend group has also called my son a lab rat just because he was adopted by a military team" the teacher yelled at the kid and their group making them go to the principles office.
Meanwhile laswell was still trying to calm you down, the team turned and saw your current state and all went to comfort you "hey hey, m/n, breathe, take deep breaths" Price started to do breathing exercises while everyone else whispered quite encouraging words.
I GAVE UP AT THE END I RAN OUTTA IDEAS 😭🙏🙏. I ALSO DIDN'T EXPECT THIS TO BE THIS LONG BRUH. anways-

Accidental mob boss au
Modern au
Luffy is the target of multiple yakuza due to his connection to multiple high power people (ace - a meber of white beard crew. Dragon and crocodile and shanks. Along with being the grandson of a high ranking chief policeman’s (garp))
So in order to protect him, (crocodile, ace and shanks) Send a bodyguard to keep him safe. (Non of them know about the other doing this btw)
Shanks sends sniper king (usopp. Who uses his cover as a cowardly kid to hide his identity as teenager sniper)
Crocodile sends miss all Sunday (Robin, a killer assassin)
Ace asked Jinbe a powerful yakuza to keep and eye on Luffy (since Luffy lives in his territory)
Long story short. Somehow Luffy became a yakuza with former yakuza bosses (Jinbe and franky) serving under him and 2 would be assigns (Nami and chopper) as his new gang members.
Also Sanji was sent to whatch after Luffy by zeff and a favorite to garp. (And Luffy just found zoro dying on the street and decided to keep him like a stray dog)
I. Do you know how this has been festering in my brain, anon? Do you know?
Zoro is in fact Luffy's dog that's canon, Zoro decided to fuck with Mihawk (an assassin that's close with Shanks, he might be an undercover cop but Shanks doesn't mind everyone has flaws) because Mihawk was really good at Kendo back in the day and Zoro wanted to be The Best, used a real sword and got stabbed for it. He couldn't go to a hospital because he was wanted for assault on multiple police officers so Luffy took him home, threw a med kit at him and said Zoro was his now. Zoro would kill and die for this man
Nami wasn't Really an assassin, she was more like a crook, stole money, weapons, information from all the crime families to give to a budding crime family that branched away from Jimbe, because they had her sister. Luffy was a means to an end, Arlong put a price on his head three times what he was holding Nojiko for because Luffy was tied to almost everyone - and how could someone tied to every criminal in their city be anything but terrible? So she got close, she didn't mean to but she did and eventually she didn't want to hand him into Arlong because he wasn't who she thought, he helped her finish getting the money not even knowing what it was for. She tried paying Arlong, but he said money wasn't good enough, that Nami was seen fraternizing with the city's top bargaining chip and Arlong wanted him. Nami left, intent on finding another way, doubling the money she spent her life hoarding, tripling it, she would dissappear from Luffy's life because she would never stoop as low as Arlong - but then Luffy came to her. She had no choice but to hand him in because she couldn't play it off anymore, he went willingly, she got Nojiko, then Zoro and Nami teamed up to bust Luffy out, then Luffy forewent the stealth of the break out and beat the tar out of Arlong. Nami would kill and die for this man.
Luffy immediately recognized Usopp because they met as kids (back when Usopp was sure he was wimpy and useless, but Luffy just said he was cool) even if they hadn't seen eachother in a decade, and Luffy is immediately and adamantly like 'this is Usopp he's the best sniper ever we're keeping him because he's my best friend' and Nami and Zoro both look Usopp up and down like '... Sure...' because Usopp is all blubbery because Luffy hadn't even seen him do anything cool yet he was going purely off the kid that not even Usopp thought deserved the time of day, Luffy not only thought that kid was worth it, he had so much faith in that kid that he's sure the man he's seeing is the man that kid said he would be. Usopp would kill and die for this man.
Sanji thought Luffy was going to be a spoiled brat - and he definitely is. He also saved Nami and Zoro without a thought because they were his and Sanji isn't going to lie and say Luffy calling him his as well doesn't hit Sanji pretty hard. Sanji would kill and die for this man.
Chopper is Kureha's assistant - his parents were mostly absent, and pretty ableist (he's autistic and has chronic pain with his spine - part of why he's kinda tiny, also why he walks with a cane) and Hiriluk took him in for a while before he got sick, then Kureha took him in but only if he worked for her (he was happy for it, Kureha's a doctor - well she had her license revoked but that doesn't stop patients from crawling to her door from every crime family because she's neutral and an amazing doctor) he makes friends with Luffy pretty quickly because Luffy thought it was metal as hell that Chopper was a doctor at 14 (well he said 8 but Chopper loudly corrected him and Luffy said that was still super cool). Luffy also beat the absolute shitfuck out of a cop that was interrogating Chopper by shittalking Hiriluk (Walpol recognized Chopper) And Chopper? Chopper would kill and die for this man.
Robin got close to the crew pretty easily. She was surprised, especially since she knew who Usopp and Sanji were, but she wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth. It was fun hanging around with them a while, watching these kids kill themselves for eachother, pretending she was a part of it. But she had a price on her head, and staying stagnant long enough made the wrong people notice. She tried to act like she betrayed her friends, but Luffy didn't listen, started causing havoc, getting hurt for it, getting the whole group hurt for it, and Robin tried to tell him she wasn't worth it but he just told her to say she wanted to live, and she did, so he made it so. Robin would kill and die for this man.

my main beef with matpat was the kris/frisk/chara misgendering and the indie dev thing what the fuck did he do?????
like outside of those things you mean? here's the ones i'd listed/instantly came to mind. a lot of things people rag on him about are like OLD old (early 2010s, like the whole "basing pyro's sex off of weird pseudoscience), which is why i won't be listing Every issue i've had because i want to assume he's grown and changed since then, at least with those things. anyways
has a weird tendency of equating video games to real-life murders. the first time i can remember him doing it was with the first ever fnaf theory, where he said it was about the actual murder of chuck-e-cheese employees and that you played as the murderer rotting in hell. which is. weird enough. but that was 2014, nearly 10 years ago, shit happens. however. that was the only time he's done this. it happened again in 2017-2019 with petscop, equating the game to the murder of a 10 year old girl. and, to his full defense, the creator of petscop ALLEGEDLY said that he did start basing his game off of that case, but that he severely regrets it and regards it as an extremely stupid decision. that doesn't make matpat's actions any less weird, because if you realize a game is Actually tied to the killing of a real-life child, just. don't fucking comment on it. it's weird and even the creator regrets his decision to do so.
on a theory about what i think was a alleged fnaf arg, he asked for his followers to help him "discover more clues" by asking them to physically call/visit locations in the real world he believed were connected to this so-called arg. (from my knowledge, this arg doesn't exist btw.) at NO point during the writing, producing, recording, editing, etc of the video did he manage to connect the dots that, hey, doxxing real-life locations for my fans to swarm to is a Bad Fucking Idea, meanwhile every other major fnaf community rushed to shut it down the SECOND his video came out, with large reddit, twitter, etc accounts imploring for fans not to listen to him, and that similar incidents have happened in the past and led to nothing (to the point where scott cawthon himself has had to step in and tell people to knock it off). i can't remember exactly how long it took for him to take it down/call off the masses, but the fact that it even got published in the first place is honestly just inexcusable, both for him and for his team (this was june of last year)
he blamed etika's suicide on cancel culture and has never apologized. the tweet is still up, for some insane fucking reason, although multiple people both close to matpat and close to etika corrected him on completely erasing the issue of mental health (this was 2019)
and lastly, while i've heard rumors of him stealing theories for years now, the only first-hand i've seen was his hermitcraft theory. the original creator of the theory can be found here [link], alongside all his theories, evidence of theft, etc. she has never been properly credited for this, and those who tried to comment on the video to properly do so had their comments instantly deleted. (this was late 2021)

What is love? (nines X gn Reader)
Tumblr media
BABY DON'T HURT ME NO MORE
Hum hum sorry guys, btw happy holidays even if I'm reaaaally late ! It was  sooo nice! There was even snow where I live!
------
You and nines were friends since last month, he came as gavin's partner two months before that, being gavin's best friend, you helped both of them to get along, you took a liking to the android, wondering why he wasn't deviant when every other android did. Connor told you it's because his software is far more advanced than the others androids, for exemple, Amanda wasn't a part of his system unlike connor had, when connor got him out of cyberlife, she instantly got erased by the rk900 software, just like a virus.
It was late in the dpd, everyone was gone, except you, nines, Gavin, hank and connor, you were all teamed on the same case and it was getting frustrating at this point.
"ugh we are not making any progress! At this rate my head will blow up.." Gavin said massaging his temples
"yeah I agree, I'm taking a break, hey, wanna go to the bar to forget this?" hank looked at you and gavin
"heck yes I am old man" Gavin got up and followed the lieutenant when you on the other hand declined politely, still wanting to re-read the reports of your case, connor chased after them, making sure they weren't intoxicated too much. Well that leaved only you and nines in front of the laptop, you readed again everything from the report out loud so nines could hear you.
"a couple was found nearby Detroit playground, an android and a human, both were shot in the chest where the heart is stated, either the killer is a surgeon due to this kind of presision, or it's an android who scanned them"
You massaged your temples just like Gavin did earlier, it was infuriating, no clues, no witnesses, you were to the  point 0 on this case, nines got up without you noticing and got you a cup of your favorite drink. You muttered a "thank you" before drinking it and looking at the screen again.
"detective, if you aren't feeling well you can go home and rest, I can work alone on this, plus, a good rest is essential when you want to achieve something"
You nodded and started to get up and gather your belongings when he stopped you in your track.
"wait I actually have a question before you go detective"
"yes what is it?"
No one spoke for like 5 minutes, he seemed to think before he was gonna ask what he wanted.
"don't you find it weird?"
"what?"
"that the couple was a human and an android?"
You thought a little about it, yeah it was a bit odd because androids didn't got their rights long time ago and still are scared or angry over humans for their loss, same for the other side, but they are exceptions after all.
"well laws are a bit weird recently but nothing state they couldn't be together"
Nines led spinned red and yellow, you looked at him when it hit you.
"you think they got killed because they loved each other?"
"that's a possibility, since the revolution, many people are still hostile on both side"
"yeah.. We should check the road cameras, maybe we could track a vehicle going in this area at the presumed death hour "
"that was what I was thinking, good conclusion detective"
You smiled and rushed a bit to him, he was still on the chair from earlier, you then kissed him on the forehead.
"you are a genius nines! We finally have a lead! I'm gonna send a message to hank and Gavin, I'm gonna go home now, see ya!"
Some blue tinted the android cheeks, he looked at you leaving the pretinct and touched his forehead where you kissed him, a warning going in front of his eyes.
Software instability ⬆️
He texted connor with his system and waited for his response.
"connor what is love?"

Late Night Confession
Tumblr media
Requested by anonymous: Hi! I just watched FIYS and can you do an imagine about K? Uhmm, maybe an AU where Tong Yao* has a sister who also games with the alias “Heartbreaker” and K unknowingly plays with her while Tong Yao smiles to herself when she saw K lost against her sister and made her sister visit at the dorm during University breaks and both K and Tong Yao’s sister slowly start to fall for each other?
Pairing: K x fem!reader
Word Count: 3496 words
A/N Sorry for the long wait on this one, I was a bit busy... Hope you enjoy this one, it is a bit longer than normal.
Btw, after this I'm taking a break again, because I got exams coming up. after that I'm back for requests :)
Tumblr media
The game was boring, something that was clear to most fans as they watched K's live. He was sighing loudly, his fingers lazily tapping the keyboard as he moved his mouse while also rolling his eyes every five seconds. The people he played with and against were no good, their messy playstyle just gave K a headache and it was clear that even his fans were annoyed. So he left the game halfway, searching for any other game room that were still open. When he finally found one, most of the players being high-level like him, he clicked on the icon before waiting as it started. When the count down started, he quickly went over the other team's players and one player immediatley caught his eye.
First it was their name, the name 'Heartbreaker' didn't seem like a normal name in between the other names, but then he noticed the level they were on. He had yet to see someone on the normal server with a rank higher than his, except for other professional gamers of course, but apparently 'Heartbreaker' had.
Mumbling something to himself, he was unaware as Tong Yao rolled into the camera's view and watched the screen before snorting and rolling away again. K looked to her, frowning before rolling his eyes and continuing to stare at his screen. He kept playing, his teammates long forgotten as he killed his opponents. It wasn't long until he saw the name 'Heartbreaker' flash across the screen.
Before he could even move his fingers to attack, he watched as the 'You Died' screen took over instead and he let his hand drop on the keyboard with slightly wide eyes. Not saying anything, he waited until he respawned again before searching for 'Heartbreaker' again and trying again, only to die again seconds later. Clenching his teeth, he waited again before retrying once more. He smashed the keys and mouse, hoping to himself that he'd beat them. One hit, then a second and then he died again. Not getting a third respawn, his screen just showed his team playing and losing as he sighed loudly.
It was clear to anyone how annoyed he was, his fans were quick to point it out in the comments and trying to reassure the gamer that 'Heartbreaker' must be using some kind of hack. He knew this to not be true, the game had been programmed to ban everyone once a kind of program was spotted on the computer, even when it wasn't in use. Unfair, but it worked.
"Got beat?" Tong Yao asked as she rolled closer again, appearing in the camera's view with a broad smile and K turned his head to look at her, clearly getting more annoyed at the girl's teasing.
"Stop acting like you'd know I'd lose." "I did, though." Tong Yao teased, pushing her chair back so she'd get out of view, eyes returning to her phone as it dinged. She started to type to reply to the message., unaware of the lingering stare. When she finally noticed that K was still staring at her, she paused and pointed at his screen.
"I know Heartbreaker, she's a natural talent when it comes to games." She pointed out and K sighed, rolling his eyes before turning to his computer again. He quickly ended his livestream, sure that he'd get scolded by Xiao Rui afterwards because of the short and blunt goodbye, and searched out 'Heartbreaker' in the ID search bar. When he found her, he clicked the 'send friend request' and waited for a conformation. Not even seconds later, he got a request back which he accepted quickly before he watched as a message popped onto his screen.
'Sorry for beating you!'
He sighed and he could hear Tong Yao snort again, giving her another glare before staring at the screen. He then typed in his own message, replying with a 'You play really good' before sending it, receiving a reply seconds later.
'Wish I could say the same :)'
He couldn't help but chuckle at the reply before he send another. The messages kept going for a few minutes before 'Heartbreaker' logged off.
You logged off because of school, a bit sad when you couldn't talk to your new friend anymore. It was quite fun to hear how he reacted to your messages from Tong Yao, you couldn't help but smile as she sent you pictures of a flustered K. You quickly texted Tong Yao to just give your number to K before you put your phone away and getting ready for school.
So Tong Yao did, pulling K's phone from his desk and adding your number under the name 'Heartbreaker' before handing it back to K with a smile. He glanced at the phone in confusion before clicking on your icon, texting you before pocketing his phone and getting up to go out.
You had already left your house, ready to go to school and dressed into the warmest clothes you had with a large shawl thrown around your neck that hid most of your face. You didn't feel like getting cold.
After a couple of minutes, you entered your classroom and sat near your friends before getting your phone again. You quickly checked K's text before sending him a quick selfie, half of your face still covered by your scarf before putting your phone down and focusing on your lesson.
K checked immediatley once he got the notification and smiled as he saw you, smiling as he finally somewhat saw what you looked like. He just sent a text saying 'You're pretty' before going back to shopping and waiting for your response, a bit disappointed when it had been an hour already and you hadn't even seen it.
Something which was obvious to Tong Yao when she saw the man enter the dorms, face glum as he put his stuff away before he sat behind his computer. When she saw this, she also was quick to send you a picture. When you saw it, you couldn't help but smile before you quickly changed to text K and your face flushed as you saw his text. Not wanting to seem flustered, you decided on a 'You're quite good looking yourself' before you put your phone away again.
An hour later, you received a text from Tong Yao, asking you to come by next week and you agreed while also still gaming. Somehow, K had seen you were online again and immediately send you a game request, but this time to play with you and not against. He stayed near you must of the game, watching you while also killing anyone who came near you while you tried to destroy the base.
While all this happens, he was also listening to your ranting through your call. He hummed in agreement every now and then, just to let you know that he was still listening to your story. It took about an hour of you to finish your rant and once you noticed that, you started apologizing immediatley, feeling guilty that you kept him for so long. He just shrugged it off, telling you that he didn't mind listening to you and you felt your face heat up slowly.
"Shut up... Anyway, how was the rest of your day?" "Not much happened, I just went to the grocery store to get some stuff. Beside that, not much..." He answered before logging out of the game and you could hear him talking to someone else.
"I'll talk to you some other time, bye." He didn't even let you reply as he hung up and you pouted to yourself before shrugging and closing the game as well.
A week later, you still hadn't heard from K again and he also hadn't been online for awhile. You didn't mind too much, after all you were visiting today and he was probably also a busy person. Nonetheless, today was the day you'd visit, so you dressed warm before you exited your house. You wished was it was bit warmer, but winter was never that kind and thus you were bundled up in 3 layers of clothes and a thick scarf to make sure that your face remained warm as well. You made your way through the streets until you finally reached your destination, Tong Yao already waiting at the gate in her own winter coat. When she spotted you, she only smiled brightly before sprinting at you, engulfing you into a tight hug.
"I missed you!" She whined loudly as she pulled back, inspecting you from head to toe.
"You got thin." "That's what college does, young sister." You commented at your small sister, who only gave you a pout before pulling you inside of her dorms. Even though you were only a year older than her, she acted more like your older sister.
Inside, everyone was sat at their computers and you could Lu Yue shouting loudly at his older brother about something. You hung up your coat and scarf before following your sister inside, immediatley drawing everyone's attention as the room grew silent.
"Ignore them." Tong Yao said as she continued to guide you to the kitchen area, forcing you to sit down before getting some food and dropping it in front of you. You rolled your eyes, but ate the food anyway. No way you'd deny free food.
As you ate, you turned around to watch what the others were doing only to be greeted with the stares of everyone. You gave a wave, swallowing your food before speaking up.
"I'm Tong Yao's sister, pleasure to meet you all." You commented and they all nodded before returning to their games. All except for K, who just looked at you in confusion. You just gave him a wink before turning around when Tong Yao called your name.
"I haven't told him yet." "I figured..." You said with a smile, taking a sip of the drink that you had received before turning around again. You took your phone out of your pocket and started a call to K, waiting for him to pick up. You saw his eyes flash to his phone before he quickly picked up, turning in his chair as he got up. He seemed confused when you didn't say anything and asked if you were alright.
"Left." You answered and he frowned, turning left before he noticed you again. You waved your phone with a smile, showing his name ID on your phone. He lowered his phone slowly, staring at you before checking his phone again. You couldn't help but snort, getting up from your chair and turning your head to Tong Yao for a second.
"I'll be back in a second." You said before walking past K, grabbing his collar as you passed him and dragged him outside. Once you stood outside, you quickly closed the door behind you before turning to face him.
"Didn't expect that, did ya?" You asked and he raised an eyebrow at you before sighing.
"So, you're Heartbreaker..." You nodded. "And you're also Tong Yao's sister?" You nodded again before sitting down on one of the chairs and looking at him again.
"You not going to say anything?" "You're prettier in person." He answered and your eyes widened at the sudden compliment, chuckling softly.
"Thanks... Likewise." You commented and he frowned at your comment, so you quickly explained that Tong Yao was kind enough to sent you pictures of him while he texted you.
"She what?" He asked and you laughed again before pulling up to pictures that she had sent you, showing them to K with a smile and enjoying the
"Just a second." He said before storming inside and you flinched when you suddenly heard a loud scream from inside that sounded like your sister before K walked back outside with a calm look.
"Did you just kill my sister?" "She's fine." He answered and you frowned, looking inside to see Tong Yao on the ground in shock. She looked fine...ish?
"The pictures weren't that bad." You commented and he rolled his eyes.
"If you wanted pictures so bad, you could've asked." He commented as he sat down and you gave him a smile.
"I'll remember that then." You said before getting up.
"How about getting some drinks?" You then asked and he agreed quickly, following you out. All the way to the café and back, both of you just talked about your interests and you only discovered more similar interests.
Once you arrived back in the dorms, you gave everyone their drinks while still talking to K. He didn't move back to his computer and instead sat on the couch with you, sipping on his own drink as he continued to listen to your ranting. You didn't even notice that you were ranting, but once you started going about something you were passionate about there was no stopping you. Yet he just listened to you, eyes full of adoration. This was something that was quickly noticed by Tong Yao as she watched the two of you with a broad grin, seeing the adoration in his eyes for you.
So of course, she had to embarrass him.
"Hey K?!" She exclaimed and he turned his head, clearly giving her a dead stare as your ranting stopped. Tong Yao only beckoned him over and he got up, even more annoyed now as he stood next to her. She beckoned him to lean down to her height and he leaned forward until she could whisper in his ear.
"Stop looking at my sister like she's the love of your life." She whispered before watching K turn red from embarrassment while also keeping an eye on you. You hadn't heard anything, just waiting patiently on the couch as you typed on your phone.
"Instead of acting like she's the love of your live, make her the love of your life." She then said before pushing him away and he could only walk back to the confusion, sitting back down next to you.
"What she say?" You asked and he shrugged before asking you to continue your story. You smiled slightly before going back into your rant and K went back to listening while staring at you again. This time, however, it didn't go unnoticed to you. You noticed the stare and couldn't help but feel your face heat up as you kept talking, trying to finish the story without stuttering. Once finished, you looked at him and he raised an eyebrow.
"Are you going to keep staring at me?" You then asked and he scoffed, his face heating up once more as he turned away from you.
"We should go get some food." Tong Yao then commented and everyone quickly agreed, all of them quickly getting ready to go out while you and K stayed downstairs.
"So why were you staring? Am I that beautiful?" You teased, faking your confidence a bit as you made the comment, and he just gave you an annoyed look.
"Am I?" You teased again and he sighed. "Yes." He then answered and you were a bit taken aback by his sudden answer. He just rolled his eyes at you and got up from the couch as everyone gathered at the front door. You all went to a restaurant with classical Chinese food, on request of Lao Mao and Lu Yue, and of course, you were sat next to K again. Tong Yao had somehow gotten the others to join in her teasing, all of them making comments about how you looked together. Every time someone did, both you and K looked at them with a deadly glare and it only made everyone laugh again at how synced you two were.
You could only groan in response.
The rest of the dinner was quiet, but you only felt anxious with all eyes on you. So you were glad when it was over, walking at the back of the pack as you searched for an hour that your bus would come. K was next to you, watching over your shoulder before pointing at your bus icon.
"Tomorrow at 6... Nice." You mumbled before quickly walking to Tong Yao and asking if you could stay the night, to which she responded with a sure.
It was 4 or 5 in the morning when you woke up, your head aching and you suddenly remembered that drinking alcohol always gave you huge headaches, and you had drank 3 or 4 glasses last night. Rolling out of the bed, you unwrapped Tong Yao from your waist before slowly waddling downstairs. You entered the kitchen and stopped when you saw someone else, not being able to tell who it was. You just trudged to the freezer and pulled open the door, grabbing a bottle of water before glancing at the person again.
It was K, now visible because of the fridge lightning, and he also held a water bottle in his hand while trying to keep the light out of his eyes. You closed the door again before hopping on the counter.
"Why you up?" You asked and he sighed, nodding before sipping from his drink.
"You?" "Headache... I apparently drank a bit too much." You commented and he snorted, trying to hide the fact that he was laughing at you. You just rolled your eyes at him, drinking from your own bottle before looking back to him.
"I didn't get to say this earlier, but sorry for Tong Yao earlier." You said and he looked up before shrugging at the comment. You fidgeted with your fingers, sighing softly before looking at him again as he spoke up.
"I don't mind it that much. They tease me about that a lot." He said and you frowned at that, leaning forward as you put the bottle of water down.
"They tease you a lot about... liking me?" You asked cautiously and you could see the wheels in his head turning before he realized that he basically exposed himself. Even though you didn't see much, you could see his face turning red as he looked annoyed at himself.
"So I'm right? You like me?" You asked as you leaned back again, leaning against the side of the fridge as you waited for an answer. He only rolled his eyes, walking to the fridge and pulling it open to put his bottle of water back. Once he closed it and attempted to walk off, you only pulled the back of his shirt until he stood in front of you. He gave you a look of annoyance, which quickly melted away as you kissed his cheek softly.
"This is going to be really awkward if I read that wrong..." You mumbled as you pulled back, but he didn't let you continue as he kissed you again. He moved to stand in between your legs as his hand moved to your neck while pulling you closer, his other hand resting beside your leg. Once he pulled back, you felt like you had lost your breath and he only smirked at you.
"Shut up, I didn't expect it. That's all." You said and he leaned forward again, only for you to lean back.
"What are you doing...?" You asked as your head bummed against the cabinet, his nose still touching yours and he only gave you a smile.
"Can I not kiss you again?" He asked and you pushed him away, pouting at him.
"So... What are we then?" "I'll be your boyfriend, no?" He asked and you smiled, nodding happily before freezing when the lights went on. On the stairs stood Tong Yao and Lu Yue, both lights sleepers and probably woke up from the loud chattering between you and K. The looks on their faces were quite funny to see, but seeing how you were sitting with K standing in between your legs must have looked weird to them.
However, K did not move away and instead just leaned his head on on your shoulder with a frustrated groan. You just chuckled, weaving your fingers through his hair before turning to the two on the stairs.
"Morning..." You said and Lu Yue was the first to rush off, probably off to get his phone while Tong Yao just stared at you before just shaking her head and walking back to her room.
"I think we just ruined her morning..." "I don't care." He replied, head still placed on your shoulder before slowly raising it to look at you.
"Shouldn't you get ready?" He asked and you turned your head to look at the clock that hung off the wall, seeing that you had 30 minutes before your bus would arrive. You hopped off the counter, kissing him once more before walking upstairs to get dressed. You passed Lu Yue, who seemed a bit disappointed as he saw you next to him instead of downstairs.
Once you were dressed, you went downstairs again, seeing that everyone else had miraculously woken up and sitting downstairs. You greeted K once more with a kiss on the cheek before saying goodbye to everyone, then rushing off to catch your bus. Tong Yao turned in her chair, kicking K's chair to catch his attention.
"Do not ever do that again in the dorms."

hi amy!!!! how are you doing? hope you're having a good week 💜 i saw you were doing some requests and i wanted to send one in:)) soooo, some of the omega boys reactions to their alpha being late from a mission? maybe a mission the omegas were already worried about before their alpha left, and the alpha not arriving when they were supposed to just makes it worse for the omega,,,,,, this request probably only works for bnha and/or naruto but!!! have a good day👋
Hey hey!!! I'm doing very well thank you!! I've had a good day today, made some yummy food, got loads of chores done, just, a good day! I hope you are having a great week too! @raincosm
Hmm, let me write something for a few of the Naruto boys x
This is angsty but open ended btw!! <3
Neji -
Tumblr media
When the door to the hokage's office opened, Naruto didn't expect to see Neji standing there, his toddler clutching his hand.
"Neji!" Naruto said brightly. "What can I do for you today? Shikamaru and I just finished our meeting."
"That's great," Neji said with a smile that didn't look particularly genuine. "If he's free then I'm sure he wouldn't mind taking my little one on a quick tour of hokage tower while we talk."
Shikamaru almost choked on his cigarette and clearly didn't want to follow through, but Naruto could hear in Neji's voice that it wasn't a request, but more of a demand, so he gestured for Shikamaru to do what Neji had asked. Shikamaru gave a long suffering sigh before putting out the cigarette and shuffling over to the pup and taking her hand, with a muttered 'come on then'.
The second the door shut, Neji rounded on him, walking right up to his desk. Naruto knew he could take Neji if it came to it, but that didn't stop him being slightly intimidated by the angry man in front of him.
"Where did you send my mate?" Neji demanded. "What kind of mission was it?"
Naruto startled, not having expected that.
"Well, er, that's classified Neji," Naruto said nervously. "You're not a shinobi anymore, I can't just-"
"I know full well what I am and what I am not," Neji hissed, slamming his hand on Naruto's desk. "They were due back three weeks ago, but they didn't return, and I've had no news. Where. did. you. send. them?"
"Neji, calm down-"
"No! I will not calm down!" Neji's voice was cold. He wasn't quite shouting, but killing intent was starting to leak into the room and Naruto could feel his ANBU guards getting antsy. "You are not the one who is having to rock your crying daughter to sleep every night because her appa is missing. You are not the one who can't even promise your daughter that her appa will be back, because you don't know!"
Naruto flinched at Neji's words. Separating work from his life was the hardest part of this job. He wanted to help Neji, to send all available people to go and find out what had happened, but... he couldn't. He had to prioritise the needs of the many.
"Tell me you sent someone to figure out why their team is late."
"Neji-"
"Don't 'Neji' me! For kami's sake, if you're worried about man power, I'll go and investigate myself! Just tell me where they went and what they were doing?"
The door swung open and Neji stopped speaking as Shikamaru and his daughter walked in.
"That's as long as you get, she's your problem, Neji, not mine," Shikamaru said dismissively, fishing out a new cigarette and lighting it. Neji growled in response but dropped the outward aggression when his pup flinched backwards.
"Sorry, darling, come here," he said, kneeling down and allowing her to toddle her way into his arms. He scooped her up and glared at both Naruto and Shikamaru over her head.
Neji leant over to Naruto one more time.
"If there isn't some information delivered to me by tomorrow morning, I'm going to find them myself," he hissed quietly. "Come one baby, why don't we go and go and buy some fruit at the market before we go home?"
"Appa come?" she asked, turning her big, innocent eyes up to Neji. Naruto could see him hesitate.
"No darling, appa's busy, just us today, okay?"
She wilted but nodded, resting her head on his shoulder.
Naruto winced at the display. He didn't like doing this, but he didn't have a choice, not as hokage.
"I'm sorry, Neji," he said, just as Neji was walking through the door.
"Save it," was the only reply he got in return.
Shino -
Tumblr media
Shibi knew exactly who was at his door when he heard the knock. Shino had been coming over to visit him almost everyday since the three week mark since his alpha was supposed to return had passed. He would come over while his daughter was at the academy and Shibi always welcomed him with open arms. His pup would always be his, no matter how old he was.
"Shino, come in," he said as he opened the door and let his son in.
Shino nodded and shuffled into the kitchen where Shibi immediately started preparing two cups of tea. Shino looked tired and he knew he was also more stressed than he was letting on.
When the tea was ready, the two men sat in silence for almost ten minutes. Shino was uncharacteristically fidgety, but Shibi knew he had to give him space to talk on his own time.
"Oma, I-" Shino started but then stopped, looking down into his tea. He took a deep breath before continuing. "How did you manage after my appa died?"
Shibi inhaled sharply at the question.
"Did you hear any news?" Shibi asked, voice hard. He didn't want that. His son didn't need to live through the hell he had lived through, he didn't deserve that.
"No, no, nothing yet, I just- It's been a month now and no news. I can't help but think about what I'm going to do if..."
"No, stop," Shibi said, putting his hand on his son's wrist. "You don't know anything, they might be back tomorrow, there's no need to make yourself feel worse by thinking about such things. You should trust me. Why? Because I've been there before."
Shino nodded slowly, clutching his empty mug.
"I don't know what to do," Shino admitted softly after another period of silence. "What do I do, oma?"
Shibi felt his chest ache watching his son in such a state. They weren't the most touchy feely, but he felt like this situation called for a hug.
"Come here," he murmured softly, scooting his chair closer and wrapping his arm around his son. Shino accepted the embrace and leant his head on his oma's shoulder. "Do you and my granddaughter want to move in here for a while? Just temporarily."
Shino swallowed heavily, but eventually nodded against his shoulder.
"Yes, I think- I think that might make me feel better. Why? Because I would have help and not be surrounded by things that make me sad."
"Okay, then move in. I keep a bedroom for you both, you know that. You are not in this alone, Shino, no matter what happens."
"Thank you," he whispered. "Thank you, oma."
Iruka -
Tumblr media
"So, who can tell me which country started the-" a knock at the door interrupted Iruka's lesson, the source of which quickly revealed itself to be another teacher, one who was currently managing the younger students.
"Can we talk outside for a moment please?" she said, giving nothing away.
"Of course. Class, re-read this chapter, I'll be asking questions randomly when I get back so I'll know if you've read it."
The class groaned and Iruka hid his grin as he left the classroom, closing the door behind him with a click.
"What do you need?" he asked the other teacher. He was not expecting her to say his pup's name.
"What?" Iruka asked, panic slowly seeping into him. "What's wrong with him? Did something happen?"
Iruka's son was in his first year of the academy, and Iruka sincerely hoped this was about a stupid prank and not about something serious.
"Some other students found out that your partner is still away on a mission and they..." she hesitated and Iruka knew this couldn't be going anywhere good.
"Yes?" he asked, impatient.
"They tried to convince your son that his appa was dead when I was out of the room briefly."
Iruka felt like lava was running through his veins suddenly.
"What?" he shouted, forgetting about the class behind him. The other teacher winced.
"Those students are obviously being punished," she rushed to reassure him. "But we couldn't get him to calm down, normally we would call his parents, but I thought going to grab you would be fastest."
"Take me to him," Iruka demanded, too stressed to be polite.
She led him to her office, and opened the door to reveal his pup, curled up into a ball, sobbing his little heart out. He looked up as the door opened and desperately held out his hands.
"Oma!" he wailed. Iruka wasted no time scooping him up and rocking him.
"Shh, it's okay, baby, I'm here."
"Appa's dead!" his pup cried, clawing his hands on Iruka's back.
"No, no, they're not," Iruka said firmly. "We don't know that, no one has reported anything like that."
"B-B-But they were saying that they would be back now if they were alive!"
"No, that's not true!" Iruka tried to keep his voice steady and convincing and his pup cried a large wet patch into his shirt. "Missions get delayed all the time for so many reasons! Maybe they lost some supplies, or they had to do some spying work first? There's lots and lots of reasons, so appa isn't dead, baby, I promise."
His darling pup wiped at their eyes harshly, but Iruka reached out and stopped them, grabbing a tissue off the desk in the room and using that to gently clean up his face.
"I want appa," they said miserably. "And I want to go home."
"We can go home," Iruka looked at the teacher who was still standing in the doorway with a meaningful look.
"Go," she said. "I'll find someone to cover."
"Thank you, hear that baby, we can go home, come on, I think we need some nest cuddles, what do you say?"
His pup nodded into his shoulder but resisted being put down, instead asking to be carried home.
"Appa will be home before you know it," Iruka said, ignoring the small flicker of dread curling in his own stomach. "I promise."

The Velvet Dark: The Short Trip Where the Master Does Some Stuff
Okay, there are probably enough Short Trips featuring the Master for the title to not make sense. This is just another Weird Doctor Who Thing I want to do a breakdown of. Honestly, as far as Weird Doctor Who Things go, this one's only slightly weirder than what you'd see on television. But Turlough's in it and he suffers, so let's take a look:
Tumblr media
So we start of with Vislor being spelled wrong. I'm pretty sure this isn't the only short trip that does this.
So, we're on Earth, probably in England, and probably in the late 20th or early 21st century, but the details don't really matter. The Doctor is there to attend the Master's funeral, since he apparently died of natural causes in an ordinary Earth old folks' home. The Doctor is genuinely mourning his old friend while Tegan and Turlough try really hard to be nice about it. We start in Tegan's PoV and she misses Nyssa. Also Turlough has a big fur coat for cool rainy funerals now.
Tumblr media
After the funeral, the Team goes to where the Master apparently spent his final days to collect his stuff and see if he left any interesting traps for them before he died. Tegan still doesn't trust Turlough, nor does she like that the Doctor seems to listen to him more than he listens to her.
Tumblr media
They find nothing interesting, the Doctor sulks for a bit, and Tegan loses patience with the whole thing and decides to go get a cup of tea. She offers to get some for the others.
Tumblr media
Tegan stumbles upon the plot when a nurse looking for a missing old lady has found a tiny doll of the lady in her bed that looks a bit too realistic. Tegan knows what's up here and begins her investigation.
Meanwhile, the Doctor and Turlough have lunch. Turlough has no idea why the Doctor wants to eat cafeteria food.
Tumblr media
This is kind of a reverse of a bit in Kinda where the Doctor and Adric get some food, but Adric is still hungry after he finishes his and the Doctor gives him the rest of his own food. He's a growing boy. Turlough is just miserable.
The Doctor, who isn't actually an idiot, is still trying to figure out what happened to the Master and he decides to ask the elderly.
Tumblr media
Did Turlough not know his grandparents or are old people built different on Trion?
An old man talks to them for a little bit about how the recently dead guy mostly kept to himself but he doesn't want to miss the next show on TV. The Doctor and Turlough banter over this for a bit.
Tumblr media
Yeah, this place is supposed run by a Mr. Tase, which might just be the laziest silly anagram the Master's ever used.
Meanwhile, Tegan and her nurse friend have gone to the boiler room to find that a lot of dolls that look a bit too similar to the patients here are people burned. The Master confronts them. He's burned too. He's still the Ainley Master in theory but he looks like he did before he stole Nyssa's dad's body for reasons that will be explained later.
While going to confront "Mr Tase", the Doctor and Turlough suddenly remember that Tegan exists and find out that she might be in trouble.
Tumblr media
So Turlough goes down to the boiler room, finds Tegan, and they're both captured.
The Doctor meets with Mr. Tase and immediately calls him out on being the Master. The Master doesn't want to kill him this time (as if he ever genuinely does). He just needs the Doctor's help with a thing and he knows that the Doctor will refuse to do the thing, so he got the companions captured to ensure his cooperation.
However cooperative the Doctor might be in this situation, Tegan is not. This causes a bit of a kerfuffle.
Tumblr media
The nursing home was the Master's TARDIS btw. He materialized his TARDIS around the nursing home and absorbed it. Or something. None of the things the Master does make sense.
Anyway, the TCE (shrinky death ray thing) was fired. What was that about? They wait a bit before telling you.
Tumblr media
So, the TCE has a shrink ray version of a stun setting where it shrinks you but doesn't kill you. The Master just never uses it. Except now, mostly just to fuck with the Doctor. Also, instead of shrinking Tegan, who was actively causing trouble for him, the Master shrunk Turlough. The whole "surrendering and standing still" thing made him an easier target and the Master is a dick.
Tegan feels pretty bad about the whole thing and the Adric flashbacks it gave the Doctor.
Tumblr media
Then, things get complicated, because it's the Master. Apparently, the Time Lords sort of half-exiled/half-executed him, taking away his stolen body, but his life force hung around by sheer force of will and he's actually been an invisible being in a castle this entire time. The burnt Master is his Watcher, who he's been acting through. He wants to do a thing with some mirrors to steal one of the Doctor's regenerations. I really can't explain it any better than that.
The Master continues to fuck with the Doctor by hypnotizing Tegan and we get...this:
Tumblr media
Yeah. That.
Anyway, hypnotized Tegan is commanded to kill the Doctor and the Doctor is unable to fight back in any way without causing permanent damage to Turlough via the Master shaking him around inside a snuffbox, beating him up.
So, the Doctor screams and breaks all the magic mirrors because he can just do that now. I think the Fourth Doctor might've done something like this once, but it's still a bit anti-climactic here.
We just sort of cut to the Team all restored to normal trying to decide what to do with the Master.
Tumblr media
This wrap-up conversation gives off this vibe that the Doctor just can't understand why Tegan and Turlough are so upset here. But it might just be a side-effect of this story about the Doctor still having some emotional attachment to the Master despite everything being in a hurry to end.
Or maybe the narrator doesn't get it:
Tumblr media
I'm pretty sure anyone would be upset after being shrunk and kept in a snuffbox and might not have a whole lot of patience for someone protecting the person responsible.
Still, in the end, the Doctor sort of tries to humor him a bit...
Tumblr media
How their complete trust was restored is unclear. They just decide to stop disagreeing with him for Reasons.
So, an interesting story, the a bit of a dumb one. I'm not gonna complain about not being able to follow the Master's plan because all of his plans are like that.
Ultimately, I think the biggest problem with this one is that the 5 isn't the Doctor you want for this story. We're exploring the Doctor's relationship with the Master. No matter how many times he tries to, and no matter what he says, the Master can't kill the Doctor because he likes him too much. At the same time, no matter how many terrible things he does, no matter how personal, no matter the scale, the Doctor can never defeat the Master completely, because he likes him too much.
The problem is that 5, though it was still a bit of a thing with him, isn't as friendly with the Master as most other incarnations. 3 treated the Master's antics like a game, but when 5 comes along, the Master destroys a quarter of the universe and traumatizes all of his companions in rapid succession. It's not fun anymore. The Master still thinks of it as a game, but the Doctor's no longer amused. This all resets later on, especially after the Time War, but for 5, that's our trajectory.
Think about how things between 5 and the Master end in Planet of Fire. The Master has pushed the Doctor so far that he can stand there and watch him burn alive. One of the things that sets 5 off is Kamelion's death. The Doctor had to kill Kamelion because the Master kept fucking with him. If Kamelion were an actual character, this moment might have the emotional weight it needed. The Master spends 5's run harming his companions. This is what really changed things. During 3's era, the Master developed a respect for Jo, the only TARDIS-traveling companion he had a chance to interact with. She almost became an extension of the Doctor. The Delgado Master, outside of a bit of hypnosis, doesn't harm the Doctor's companions. The Ainley Master does. 5's first story has the Master spend most of it torturing Adric. So, the entire dynamic of 5 and the Master is 5 losing his compassion for the Master because he hurt his companions.
This is a story for a later Doctor with some distance from these events. That's the serious problem. But the story is very silly, so serious problems aren't that big a deal, really.

Hellsing Rewatch: Episode Three Thoughts
One | Two
I loooove Pip
My favorite thing about Hellsing is that Dracula the novel has canonically been published in it. How did that happen! Why! Did Van Helsing commission it?? Are they meant to be genuine entries of their journals as a found footage thing?
It’s really funny and appropriate that the Wild Geese are like lmao monsters?? But also if I was a mercenary taken to this shady ass mansion with its own barracks etc I’d just believe any insane shit
Rip Iscariot letter Not Bomb stamp, you will be missed
Integra and Alucard both having a taste for the ugliest possible hats
Maxwell is SO extra he’s crushing his own glasses! Sir you need those!!!
Andercard 💖💖💖💖💖 They’re so fucking insane I love them
Also does this museum have no security? Is no one like uh. They’re drawing guns here.
AGDHFHFHGF Alucard grumpily going back to bed, does that mean he was asked to accompany them to the museum or was he just being nosy?
It’s SO FUNNY how Maxwell is Anderson’s boss now, he’s practically his son
HDJFJFGHDD REMEMBER MAXWELL MAKING INTEGRA SAY PLEASE IN THE MANGA
Why does Maxwell sound so proud when he reveals that the Vatican helped the Nazis 🥲
It’s so so so funny that Major and Dok personally showed up to the museum to watch all this discussion go down and also WHY IS DOK BLOODY AND WHAT IS THAT OUTFIT
What does Alucard mean that only Millennium, Integra, AND HIM are crazy enough to enlist the undead as soldiers. Are we talking level zero or something else????
Also lol. lmao. Walter acting like he doesn’t remember Millennium
HOTEL TWINK HIIIIIIII
Alucard did NOT need to do that poor twink right that, he changed his fucking life. He will never be the same
I looooove the shot of Alucard walking into the hotel room with the rippling air around him
“With any luck they’ll not only dig their own graves but pay for the funeral as well” fucks tbh. It’s a really good line
The spirit of Harkonnen being like “Something terrible is about to happen” and it’s really just Alucard waking her up.
I love Alucard subtly correcting Seras saying “Good morning” with “Good evening” but also like idk taking the moment to respond politely despite being like “btw SWAT team here to kill us.” He also waited a REALLY long time to wake her tbh
I’m generally ambivalent to the gun spirit dream sequence shenanigans but the choice to have such a light silly scene before the absolute carnage that is the Rio hotel fight is such a good tonal shift.
Rio sequence my beloved 💖
I love the beat when Integra questions if Alucard is going to show any restraint or like moral qualms at all in the face of adversity and Walter reminds her that he’s a monster. It definitely has the tone of a conversation they’ve had before.
Alucard’s so mad at the soldier committing suicide like I WANT THAT OUT DAMNIT
He’s having such a meltdown!!
“This is just the way it is” is it tho 🤔
Oh no the Rio call. In front of Walter’s salad
I think the Rio call (where Alucard is doing all this grandstanding about being a monster with zero remorse and needling her about potentially not being up to making a tougher call) is actually really interesting after him reacting so strongly to the one soldier killing himself, and then seeming to lose his own resolve a little bit when he realizes he’s been so harsh to Seras.
Walter like “I’m only the butler… I an not engaging with this shit”
Elevator sequence 💖💖💖💖💖 It’s truly really good nonverbal storytelling
I love that Major monologues so much that no one’s even trying to talk to him, they know he’s just going to keep going.
“I’m called the Dandyman” and Alucard’s like. Did I ask.
“There’s absolutely no reasoning with you people” WHEN DID YOU TRY TO REASON WITH THEM
Pip 👏 gets 👏 shit 👏 done 👏
The show does such a good job establishing just how gross and disgusting Alucard is
Oof the arm scene 😬
The one panned out shot where Alucard’s drinking from Alhambra and his proportions are so fucked that he looks like an Adventure Time character
Alucard making Pip on the fucking hijacked helicopter with a gun to the pilot’s head while he monologues 😭😭
It’s so funny how seriously Dok takes everything whereas Major is just like “Hell yeah!! Mayhem!!!!”
Dok’s still bloody omg, it’s also all over his coat like front and back? Did he deliberately just splatter it for edgy aesthetic purposes?
I NEVER noticed that young Walter was placed with the Millennium characters in the end credits. It’s crazy that they have that so early lol

04/04/23
Thought this up earlier today. Gonna be Ghost x y/n bc I said so.
They/them for reader
Gonna be Ghost's POV
Also angst cause I love it
Y/n had been missing for weeks now. A few hours ago, Price had announced that they were presumed dead. They'd been injured on a mission and had to be left behind. Ghost had to leave them behind or risk the entire team being killed or captured. He keeps blaming himself and telling himself that there was some way he could have saved you but he didn't think of it soon enough.
After receiving the news, Ghost went to the shooting range to clear his head and let out some of his frustrations (btw this is the same shooting range as in the COD4 with Soap and Gaz). There was no way that y/n could be dead. They were tougher than that. There was no way that they'd just sit back and die right?
The wooden target was practically destroyed when Ghost heard the door open. He didn't look to see who it was but did hesitate to shoot in order to listen to the footsteps. They were hesitant at first and then approached him.
He glanced to the side, not turning his head to see that it was Doap approaching him. He didn't want to talk to anyone and hoped that he was there to get in some target practice as well.
He was wrong. Soap's footsteps stopped a few feet behind him. Ghost tried to make it Lear he didn't want to talk by aiming down the sights and unloading another mag into the wooden target.
He didn't hear footsteps leaving him so it was clear that Soap was still behind him. He reloaded his gun.
After he finished reloading, which took a solid 30 seconds, Soap still hadn't said a word or even made a noise. "Whatever you want to say, just spit it out. Unless you're here just to watch." Ghost said in a slightly hostile tone. He didn't want to deal with anyone talking to him or even being in the same room as him right now.
"Ghost I... I'm sorry. I know you loved them a lot and you lose a lot of people doing this job but..."
"If you're going to give me nothing but pity then I suggest you just leave." Ghost interrupted. The last thing he wanted was someone to pity him. Why? Because he lost a loved one? Wouldn't be the first time and probably wouldn't be the last.
"I'm not here to pity you. They were my friend too. I'm upset and frustrated too. I'm trying to empathize with you but you clearly don't want it." Soap said getting defensive.
Ghost didn't want to snap at Soap so he didn't say anything. He just picked up the Assault rifle he'd been shooting, unloaded it and walked over to give it back to the guy behind the counter.
"So what? You're just going to walk away? You can't keep running from all your problems Simon." Soap called out to him as he walked out the door.
He stormed into his barracks and everyone who was off duty stood at attention. He just ignored them all and went to his bunk. He opened the boot chest and threw on some of his very few civilian clothes.
As he walked out the door of the base, he messaged Price that he was going out for a while so nobody would look for him on base.
He took off his mask when he started to see the buildings of the town. That way nobody would be able to recognize him because nobody knew his face. Only Price did and he knew to respect Ghost's boundaries.
He went to the park where he'd first met y/n and sat there. It was a dog park and the middle of the day so naturally there were a bunch of dogs there. He'd even sat down on the bench where he'd first met y/n and zoned out to the memory of them.
---------------------------------------------------
Ghost sat down on the bench to watch the dogs play. Riley had loyally stayed by his side the entire time. He told Riley to lay down under him to keep him safe and he obeyed as soon as the order was given. He'd been asked to look after the military dog for a week while his cousin, Hesh Walker, was out of town for 3 weeks.
Suddenly he'd hear a small dog barking and someone yelling after the barking dog. Both were running towards him.
Ghost ordered Riley to get up on the bench with him because he didn't need this little shitzu harassing Riley while he could do nothing about it.
The small dog was jumping up on the bench trying to get to Riley, while Riley was staring at the potential human threat.
They ran up to Ghost barely out of breath and grabbed the little dogs collar and clipped on the leash. "I'm so sorry about that. I don't know why she did that. She's usually friendly with the other dogs here." They said. They looked fairly put together.
"I probably would have kicked her away if you hadn't come along." Ghost said honestly.
"That makes sense. I've done the same before." They laughed a little then paused. "Sergeant?" They asked. Ghost looked confused for a second before remembering he had his rank tattooed onto his arm before he'd been captured by Roba and it had been too scarred to update it.
"Liutenant actually. Got a month of leave so I'll be back on the field in a few weeks." He explained without giving away too many details.
"Awe man. I thought we were the same rank." They complained. Ghost was surprised. They looked too scrawny to be military. Maybe they were a different branch than he was.
"What Branch?" He asked curiously.
"Marines." They said. They were in the same Branch as him and the same rank as Soap.
"Is your dog also military? He listens very well and seems well trained." They commented.
"Yeah. I'm watching him for my cousin. That's why I'm on leave right now. I would let you put him but that would mean letting that little thing near him."
"It's no problem for me. I knew that I wouldn't be able to interact with any other living being when I took this one for a walk." They gestured to the dog on the leash.
There was a chime heard from their pocket and they pulled out their phone and sighed. "I'm needed back at home. Nobody knows how to kill a spider apparently." They said with a smile. "If you bring him back tomorrow I can pet him. Same time." They said as they walked away.
After that, the two of them met there everyday where they asked eaxhother questions and just chatted about anything and everything.
-------------------------------------------------
Ghost had clearly been zoning out for far too long because he had barely registered the person who sat down beside him. He looked over to see Price looking down at the grass.
Neither of them said anything but just being there in eachother's presence was comforting. Price knew that if he wanted to talk about something then he would when he was ready. Price had always been so kind to him.
It had been about 10 minutes before Price finally broke the comfortable silence. "I managed to get the whole team a week of leave and told Laswell not to give any of us any missions no matter what unless approved by me."
Ghost just nodded in acknowledgment.
Price sighed heavily "I think you and I both know they're not dead. Even if the general says they legally are, they're not. Y/n is tougher than that."
"Well if I can come back from the dead then I know y/n can too. They've always been stronger than me." He said. Technically simon Riley was dead but he wasn't. He was right there sitting on the bench with Price in a dog park.
"Why don't we head back to base? Soap's been worried sick about you since you left the range." Price suggested. Ghost just nodded and got up to head to Price's car.

Ok gf, here's my request
My personal HC is that I'm the newbie of the team (Corpman [medic] and sniper). Most of the time, I act as support given my other duties. After the events of Ghost Team, TF 141 is captured and tortured by Graves momentarily (Los Vaqueros will break them out) but not until Graves, erm... r@pes my OC. Shit goes down and she's also injured and therefore not present for the Countdown mission (when they stop Hassan). A month later she's on the recovery but still has PTSD. Price and her hook it up then, but take things slow
Now to my ask. Several months after Hassan was killed, Price and my OC are living a secret affair (hidden even from the boys, and especially Laswell and Norris!). But see, Soap notices a hickey on her and she denies it. So the scottish boy undergoes investigations to find out who's the lucky lad. At first he thinks it's Ghost and he's like "Ey mate, cheers on hitting it with x". But Simon is confused, because it isn't him. And it certainly isn't Gaz or Price (right?!). So the boys try to find out, and for weeks, my OC tries to twart them off
When it doesn't work, she turns to König (who is her best friend, and also platonic soulmate). Everyone's been kinda shipping them since they both speak german and get along well. I like to think that König scares people with his height (even though he's really bashfull), but my OC is the one to unwind him
So, could I get my OC asking König (in german, but you don't have to write it obviously) to pretend to be her boyfriend. and he gets all flustered. she holds his hand, and explains she has to do this to get them off her back. Also, i like to think he gives her sweet german nicknames like Maus (mouse), Liebling (Darling), Schatzli (little treasure, this one is swiss lol)
btw you're a queen. good luck with your studies <3
Price x Oc/reader
I shouldn’t write fanfics- I’m terrible at it … (oh and thank you !!)
Oh, and I’m sorry for my German- if there’s something wrong please let me know!!!!
TW
Not directly mentioning of r@pe but it happened to the “reader/OC”, PTSD, no mentioning of body parts but reader uses she/her,hers pron
Months had passed since you had gone through your personal hell, but the memories still hunted you and every single time you closed your eyes, you could feel him, you could smell him, you could hear his filthy voice rasping dirty shit in your ear, that pain you felt, the burning in your muscles. Everything. It was still there and no matter what you did, it just didn’t disappeared.
You had to force yourself back into reality when Soap and Gaz asked you if you were alright cause you snapped out of the conversation when soap accidentally mention his name, which you responded with a quick yes.
But you were in fact not, but that weren’t their problem, not something they should have to deal with.
“Excuse me for a moment” is all you say before you leave the boys behind.
You don’t know how, but you end up in front of your captain’s office, not an unfamiliar place if you want to be honest to yourself. You found yourself quite often here in the couple of months, especially at night.
You don’t even have to knock, before you hear your captains voice demanding you to step inside.
He doesn’t even have to look up from his paperwork, to know who just stepped inside his office.
“Look who just found her way into my office, how did I get the honor that you visit me at such an hour sweetheart?” His voice is rough, his office’s smells like his favorite cigars and himself. It’s enough to ease your mind, and to relax yourself enough to feel comfortable to sit yourself on his couch.
“You had a flashback, didn’t you darling” it wasn’t even a question, he knew that you had ‘em, he knew that you cried yourself to sleep, that you washed your body with almost burning hot water everyday to get rid of the feelings of his hands. His eyes met yours as you forced yourself to look at him.
His face may not seemed to care, but his eyes did and it didn’t took him ten seconds for him to get to you, kneeling in front of you, asking if its okay for you that he takes your hand. He was always so careful, even before it happened to you, but after that, it seemed he even got more carefully than ever before.
It’s his hand that makes your heart skip a beat as he gently strokes over your hand with his tumb, not saying a single word while you stare at his hand.
“ If you need a time out you just have to tell me and don’t say you don’t need it, you know I wasn’t happy that you came back to us just two weeks after that… I can take my time off too, so that you don’t have to be alone” his voice is gentle, he almost whispers his voice and no matter how gentle they are it somehow hurts you.
You don’t want time off, you don’t want to be alone with your thoughts, in the field you can at least get your mind on something else.
“You know I don’t want that…”
You can hear him sigh, before he stands up to lay his hand on your head. “I knew you would say that…. That’s why I made sure that you have someone with you you trust, that I trust and that speaks your language”
It takes you a couple of seconds to really understands what he means. “He should arrive any minute, I guess in hangar two, you should say hello to our lovely king ”
“King?” You ask. What does he mean with king you don’t know a ki- “ König! You mean König, don’t you !?” His innocent grin is enough to make you jump up from the couch, leaving a quick kiss on his cheek before running out of his office like a roadrunner.
A couple of weeks had passed since your best friend arrived at your base and soap made his way trough every single soldier, asking them if they were your secret little affair. It made you giggle to know that ghost was the first subject of Soaps little mission, out of all, it was ghost he thought you would have more than a friendship with.
You even tried to gaslight him into thinking he was your secret affair… he thought about it, but he couldn’t remember anything, especially not giving you a hickey.
You’re leaning against König as you watched soap practically staring at you both, you knew you wouldn’t get away with it, not before that child in a mans body had what he wanted. Answers on your secret boyfriend.
So you came up with a plan, and since König and you were able to speak in a language nobody else but you two could, you didn’t even need to leave to plan your little plan.
"König mein Schatz, was hälst du davon dich wie mein Freund zu benehmen?” (König Darling, what do you think about acting like your my boyfriend) His eyes met yours in seconds, you couldn’t see his face but you knew he was red as a cherry under that mask “Du willst dass ich dein Freund spiele? Dein Freund bringt mich um…” (You want me to play your boyfriend? Your boyfriend is going to kill me)
“Mach dir darüber keine Sorgen” (don’t worry about it)
So with a plan you both only have to play along.
It first starts with you holding his hand while you walk around the base, then you also hold it while you both eat, then his nicknames for you start.
“Mausi, could you please pass me the salt?”
“Nein Schatz, that doesn’t taste good, don’t eat it”
Or while training.
He has you pinned down, while soap, price, ghost and Gaz watches you both fighting.
“Ich bin sowas von tot ” (I’m so dead)
You may not had seen the staring from your boyfriend, but König definitely felt it, he knew that he was in great danger.
But your little plan worked, as Soap was now sure that you and König are dating, which ended his annoying questioning.
.
.
.
.
.
You’re standing in front of your best friend, looking up to him while he stares down, petting your head like your a dog.
“Es war schön, dich hier zu haben, mein Freund, ich hoffe, wir sehen uns bald”
(It was nice to have you here my friend, I hope we see us soon )
“Ich fand es auch schön hier zu sein ” (I also liked being here)
He leaves before you can answer him, knowing he wouldn’t come to visit you in quite a time, but maybe you would see each other in the field.
“So your boyfriend left us, hmm.” You can feel strong arms warping themself around your waist, gently pulling you to a warm chest. "Seems like it” you hum in response. " but we don’t want you to be lonely at night, don’t we my Schatz” his accent destroys the mood that had tense up between you too, only for him to mumble a few slurs.
(I’m going with my usual style haha, sorry for that)
- So you now sitting on his bed, him standing between your legs while he has his fingers under your chin, lifting it up so he can look into your eyes
- his thumb gently stroking over your lip as he scans every single pore of your face
- in his eyes your holy
- “you don’t know how much it angered me to see you with him”
- you can’t but grin over his jealousy
- he’s cute when he’s jealous, especially when he doesn’t have too
- you know Königs wife, she’s just as cute as an angel, even allowed him to play your boyfriend for a couple of weeks
- his eyes meet yours as he growls about that it’s not funny
- gently pressing you on the mattress
- asking you if it’s okay if he shows you how much he wants you
- how much he wants to be inside of you
- to show you how much he wants to breed to
- to mark you as his own
- so that nobody would ever say that they belong to you
- to show soap and Gaz that they were wrong
- to make you his wife
- this night everyone will know that König as in fact not your boyfriend
- but you also disturbed soap , Gaz and even ghost with it
- cause well- who forgot to look the door?
- no no ofc it wasn’t price, how could you think that
- price office wasn’t the best place to fuck… for price it was cause know nobody would dare to say something again

episode 9 reactions hdhhskfhshfhd (spoilers!!!!)
the cicadas
RANDALL BETTER NOT DIE OKAY I STILL BELIEVE HE CAN LEARN TO BE NORMAL I STILL BELIEVE IN HIM
i'm like 99% sure julie won't die so i'm not worried about her but omg tabitha is going through so much right now with her child in pain/danger and being unable to help... T_T
i felt really bad for mari when she said she doesn't want to be like this 😔 she deserves to get better and to get to be fully herself. she's getting a lot of hate in the fandom that i feel is unwarranted, we've only seen her being really sick and even then she's always been trying to help the others
this should be its own post but i'd like to see a jade and marielle friendship, she would probably get REALLY serious with him if she hears him casually joke about how much he's into party drugs like he did around kenny, and tell him that he should count himself lucky to still be able to just get away from all that consequence-free. i also want a boyd and marielle dynamic, he's good at adopting troubled girls
team tabby
i don't need a lot to be happy. jade sitting as autistically as possible on the kitchen counter means everything to me. he's just so easy to love, like a cat. also i really appreciate the way the show moved heaven and earth to make jade and tabby end up alone together for the night. the matthews house getting demolished + the new horror making it so that no one can be alone at night + jim leaving his family to go on his crazy adventure at the RV... im grateful i truly am
jade really took the supportive role to tabby's lead in the investigation and i love that for them. there's something so special to me about this dynamic, we're so used to genius guy detective + layman sidekick, seeing it flipped is so special to me. tabby is so awesome that the rich genius guy is actually her sidekick! love them sm
victor, tian chen, julie and ethan were so so sweet i'm literally heartbroken about what ethan said to victor!!! now that jade just learned to be normal istg this poor man can't catch a break???? he's a kid and he's scared i obviously don't blame him but i bet victor was so hurt T_T still im really happy to see him be more social. he's in good hands with tian chen. i swear the new "can't be alone at night" horror was engineered in a lab to socialise the loners against their will like feral kittens and i'm so down with it LMAO like yes you can bet i'll write jade fanfic about this
EDIT LMAO POSTED BY MISTAKE HERES THE REST
jim... jimmy... jimbo...
what is he doing!! what is he doing!!!!!!!!!! fighting the rifle guy at colony house istg this man LMAOO tabby did the same thing when she just arrived they're so like that... like now you wanna get back to your family i get it but if you go out there you're gonna die. he looks so cute in that jacket btw now i'm officially simping for both tabitha AND jim just like jade
kenny and sara
im really enjoying these scenes even if i'm suffering so much for kenny and i just want to yoink him out of this depressing plot they got him in, he belonged in that room playing board games with victor the kids and his mom istg!!! but all the sara scenes are extremely compelling and omg kenny is just so !!! i need to hug him. he went through that to keep everyone else safe SIGHS
sara's got a... way of dealing with the whole thing that's for sure. she brought up like the worst possible conversation topic when looking at the map LMAO i just couldn't believe it was possible to screw up that bad. i kinda have a bit of paranoia specifically about going crazy and killing someone and then having to emotionally deal with that (just my brain being my brain dont ask) so her plot fascinates me because i've mulled over how i'd feel and how i'd deal with a situation like that so much. but i draw the sympathy line at hurting kenny and she's still hurting him so !!!!!!!! girl just shut up when he asks you to shut up it's not that hard arghh
really good insight about the place and peoples fears though. was she saying that the place gets stronger the more people it manages to kill? thats a really nice explanation for all the mix-and-match weird horror stuff going on together at the same time tbh, i like it a lot if it's like that. if khatri was afraid of god's punishment or something like that then i guess they're royally fucked (some of victor's drawings showed the place getting flooded...)

God of War Ragnarok Reaction
We (my husband plays, I watch and provide obnoxious entertaining commentary, much like Mimir- it is vital to the experience, I assure you) just finished the main story of God of War Ragnarok, and I have FEELINGS.  This is not a review, it’s a reaction.  The former is well reasoned and structured, the latter is screeching in text form.
Read on for screeching, and SPOILER SPOILERS SPOILERS.  This game has an incredible story, please do not spoil yourself!
Tumblr media
So I’m not going to recap the plot or anything like that.
What I want to talk about- what I found so incredibly and powerfully done- are two of the core messages of the game:
Change or die
What is broken cannot be mended
Change or die
Hhhhnnnghhh one of my faaaavorite themes!!!!!  This is, in my opinion, one of those universal truths about life.  Sometimes, it has that sort of...  Natural selection feeling; if you fail to adapt to an ongoing situation, you might face losses, even death.  But usually, the change aspect has to do with accepting/facing when you make mistakes and working to grow beyond them.  “We must be better” becomes the mantra of Kratos and Atreus.
The Jotnar believe that their prophecies reveal immutable fate.  Kratos, who slew the Fates of his homeland, is (understandably) not impressed.  Meanwhile, the Norns reveal that fate does not control anything.  No; instead, people are so resistant to change that predicting their futures is child’s play.
Thus, if Kratos continued to be distant/emotionally unavailable to Atreus, and to control him in the name of protecting him, then Kratos would have died, as the Jotnar prophecy predicted.  If Atreus continued to prize freedom and knowledge of his purpose over everything else, including his strained relationship with his father, then he would have teamed up with Odin, again, as predicted.  And Freya might have spent her whole life in a grief-stricken rage if she didn’t let go long enough to work with Kratos towards a common goal.  They lived because they changed, and because they trusted themselves and each other more than they heeded their nature to protect, to seek, to avenge.
The characters who could not change did not fare so well.  Odin gave his eye, hung himself, and laid waste to every realm and his own family in the pursuit of knowledge, to know what would happen to him so he could prepare for it.  Sindri couldn’t let go of Brok, to the point where he revived him from death at the cost of Brok’s afterlife.  Odin lived like he was dead, obsessed with one thing, unable to care about anything else, not even himself, really.  Sindri still lives like the dead, consumed by the hole inside him.  Brok used his dying breath to ask Sindri to let go; still, he cannot, or will not.  Which leads me to the next bit...
What is broken cannot be mended
THE SINDRI THING WRECKED ME.  Obviously I’m even more sad for Brok- especially with no afterlife- ESPECIALLY after using his last breaths to forgive Sindri for taking away his afterlife, and to ask him to let go and live-  ARE YOU KIDDING.  I AM.  DEVASTATED.
(BTW Sindri vs Brok are an amazing study of nice vs kind.  Sindri is nice, a well mannered guy who speaks fairly gently and is friendly.  Brok is an abrasive ass, but he’s explicitly the kinder of the brothers.  He never hesitates in his generosity and forgives, forgives, forgives, even when his afterlife is the subject.  I adore them both, but yeah.)
But...  Yeah.  Brok will never have his afterlife; that part of his soul is gone.  That cannot be fixed.  Sindri was once family to Kratos and Atreus.  Now, he wants nothing to do with them; they are as dead to him as Brok.  In contrast, Freya continued to engage with Kratos and Atreus, even after they killed her son to protect her, and that conflict?  As long as conflict went on between them, there was a chance for reconciliation, even if that seems counter-intuitive.  If things were truly over, if Freya wanted nothing to do with them, she would have simply... left them alone.
Which seems to be what Sindri is doing.  Ugh, it’s devastating.  Sindri was one of Atreus’ first pals!  Sindri and Brok were family to him, kind of like uncles, and now?  One is dead, and one has renounced them.  But some things, when broken, cannot be mended.
Now, narratively, these plotlines tend to be, you know...  Brought back up again.  So who knows, maybe we’ll see more of Sindri.  Although honestly, I’m guessing that the next game is about Kratos restoring Greece, based on the final prophecy and some post game dialogue.  But for now...  Yeah, for now, things are broken.  They were family.  Were.  The rift, the finality is... devastating.
Likewise with the whale Mimir imprisoned.  Mimir could not undo the wrong he did there.  Years of imprisonment destroyed something in that whale; the chains remain, even when they are cut.  What was broken cannot be undone.
Likewise, Brok is dead, and he will have no afterlife.  Sindri has to deal with that, and he seems to be doing so by curling up in the hole of grief.
Finality is so, so hard to deal with, especially the ultimate finality of death.  But it does serve as a reminder to be careful with each other, and with our choices....  Because some things cannot be undone or mended.
THIS GAME WAS AMAZING!  I LOVED IT SO MUCH!  And I didn’t even scream over the amazing father/son bonding!  AHHHHH!

I'm not sure if you've seen the recent NYT article about Ze and the allegedly bad relationships with USA. What do you think this is all about? The article is somehow weird and I'm not sure what to think about it, so wonder what your opinion is.
(I assume, anon is talking about this article and the underlined parts.)
Tumblr media
I wouldn't read to much into it.
The author has a history of being pro-Putin in the past, even though he seems to support Ukraine and is against Putin right now. (So yeah, it could very well be that he no longer supports Putin. But it could also be that he still believes in Russian Propaganda. Doesn't mean he may have wrote a Russian Propaganda piece on purpose.)
Besides that: Not the first time the New York Times published a, let's say, questionable view on the war in Ukraine. Last time they got a lot of backlash, so...yeah... . I get thay they want to publish as many opinions and views as possible, but not necessarily every POV is helpful right now.
So even if it isn't Russian Propaganda it's just one opinion and POV. I mean, the part about the worse relationship is as vague as possible written.
Also this part of the article isn't really written neutral. "Funny business"? Really?! And, of course, bringing back the corruption narrative?! (I don't say there is no corruption. Obviously there is and Zelenskyy and his team are well aware of that and try to do something about it. But the way this is phrased in the article is basically Russian Propaganda just with other words.)
Also a small detail, but important: Zelenskyy fired no one. He suspended. The parliament is the only one who can fire people from such position. And they did after the majority voted for it. And he suspended them for very good reasons. He didn't just wake up one morning and was like "let's remove people from their positions". (Side fact: both persons have been under more or less heavy critism since they've been appointed to their jobs and people asked Zelenskyy way before the war to remove them from their positions.)
(If the reasons were justified or not and if this was the right moment or not and what to think about the whole thing and and and is another discussion.)
So yeah.
Also, a general thing: There is absolutely no indication that the relationship is as bad as Friedman portrays it. At least from what we see and know.
But ask yourself...is it a coincidence such an article is getting published after...
- Olena visits Biden and held talks with him, his wife, representatives, speaks in front of the Congress and other people and at other places
- USA agreed on another aid package, including new weapons
- it's a real possibility Russian is going to be named a sponsor of terrorism
- Jill Biden takes part in the Summit
- delegations from USA visit Zelenskyy
Also keep in mind the recent attacks from an American politician (and Trump ally...so...Pro-Putin and Russia) against Zelenskyy and his team.
On a side note: Russia is losing power in the whole "Nordtsream 1 turbine" discussion, since they could get the turbine but don't want to pick it up. Basically revealing they bluffed all the time.
Also probably no coincidence either that almost at the same time former German chancellor Schröder (and close friend and ally of Putin) is getting the cover story in one of the Germany's biggest magazines.
Not to mention that Russia is losing ground and troops right now in Ukraine, while Ukraine is getting more and more weapons and help. While at the same time Russia is getting more sanctioned and lost the "grain battle".
Of course there is always the possibility that the relationship is in fact getting worse.
But this smells and sounds more like Russian Propaganda.
(Btw: I had a look into the Russian and Pro-Putin bubble and lots of Kremlins are like "See, the NATO/USA-puppet Zelenskyy is no longer supported by his masters and they drop him. Next step is killing him or regime change." So seems like the article also feeds the conspiracy theories and Propaganda narratives.)
To put it in a nutshell: Lately there is a lot of Russian Propaganda going on and Russia is really trying everything to paint Ukraine as the bad guy and disturb the relationships with Ukraine's partners and allies.
