#he doesnt have his own so... gotta equip

[beatboxing-puppy]

saw some posts on this website discussing what sort of videogames the dunmeshi characters would play and i think everyone is wrong. everyone is wrong except for me so im going to spell out exactly who plays what. putting it under a read more because im going on a damn tangent.

Laios: He's not a gamer he does not play games on purpose he will only ever play video games when his friends ask him to join them in their multiplayer things. One day tho Falin told him about Monster Hunter and now thats the only thing he plays aside from Spore and he has sunk countless hours into that damn game. Also he probably has played Some pokemon but he doesnt like PLAYING it he just likes it in concept he knows the name of all the pokemon

marcille: people keep saying she would be a cosy gamer playing animal crossing and stardew and other cute games ^-^ its so lalalaaaa NO!!!!!!! no she does not. Marcille plays games that stress her out on purpose marcille plays overwhelming micromanagey games like lobotomy corporation and rimworld and etc. She also likes games with deep lore and mysteries to discover. The only thing that doesn't fit in this category that she plays is Minecraft shes always in there CREATIVE MODE building virtual dungeons and other crazy shit. Also she plays on her work laptop with trackpad ok

Chilchuck: This one is for me. This one im just basing off my own dad ok. Chilchuck used to be a hardcore gamer in his youth but specifically he was playing stuff like world of warcraft and old school runescape he had really big setups so he could run several instances of the game at once on all his alt accounts so he could beat a boss by himself and he was really good at it. But then he had kids and didnt have time for this sort of thing so he stopped playing videogames aside from occasionally helping his daughters beat a super hard mario level. Later in life he probably discovered some shitty little low-commitment phone game like pokemon go or pikmin bloom or some daily sudoku puzzle thing and he plays it every day but its not that big a deal. He has been pressured by his friends and daughters to make a roblox account but he hasnt played it at all.

Senshi: THIS guy is the one that plays animal crossing. He logs in when he can but hes not on that every day grind. Also he doesnt play the newest one he doesnt play horizons he plays one of the DS ones. Wild world probably. He either doesn't like or doesn't know about the nintendo switch. Whenever one of his villagers say that they want to leave he'll nod solemnly and say smth like "Well... I suppose it'd be selfish to ask ye to stay, friend... Just promise me you'll stay safe and never forget me... Go and explore the world. Wish ye the best." Plus his island would be covered in weeds. He also has some mobile games he enjoys angry birds and candy crush and crosswords (gotta keep the brain in shape!) but other than that he doesn't videogame much because he prefers board games and tabletop stuff he isnt too jazzed about all this modern technology plus a console or a laptop and all that gaming equipment is a lot to lug around and hes a nomad he would NOT have that shit

Falin: Now FALIN is the cosy gamer. kind of. Falin plays animal crossing new horizons sometimes and has fun making a bad island on purpose. Very mildly "bad" tho the worst she'll do is use the drawing feature to hide a giant penis on the beach or whatever. Or she'll give her villagers silly outfits. She also plays minecraft (either skyblock or she makes a new world and explores and builds a couple houses and then forgets about it and makes another new world) and roblox (likes 'trolling' strangers by dressing up funny and acting kind of strange in roleplay servers but she's never actually mean or anything.) But the big thing she likes is story-driven indie rpgmaker games. She's the person who will say shit like "Yeah I played Blums Booglies the quest for Big Dinners and it was so good I cried for 9 hours" completely unironically.

kabru: social gamer like laios but the games he plays on purpose are the sims (he likes to cause them problems) and online multiplayer games (he likes to peoplewatch). I can also see him doing absurd and tortrous challenge runs of games like No items no pokecenter one type hardcore nuzlockes. im correct

izutsumi: ACTUALLY trolls people on roblox. And she plays needlessly gory flash games. Maybe she calls people dumbfucks over valorant voice chat sometimes

BF!MIKAGE REO HEADCANONS!

CW: nothing i think.. | Notes: Won’t be posting for a week cs of a test n taking a tiny break (・へ・)

Love languages is actually anything. Like i’m being serious he’ll make sure to adjust his love language according to yours. If you don’t mind him doing all 5 then he’ll be ecstatic. If not then he’s sure to sit you down and ask what you’ll be okay with. (But like no way he’s giving up words of affirmation, he’s gotta tell you everything he loves about you. Also gift giving.)

His N1 love language is defo gift giving, he really does not hold back. Once you guys are in a relationship (including the friendship) he’ll make sure to spoil you as his way of saying thank you for staying next to him. He goes all out when he gives gifts, doesn’t matter if you tell him to keep it down he’s not gonna stop.

IF YOU MENTION YOU LIKE A SPECIFIC SNACK YOU CAN EXPECT TO SEE LIKE 5 OTHERS IN THE KITCHEN JUST WAITING FOR YOU. Also goes for things you mention you want/need. No hesitation at all..

He absolutely will go insane if he doesn’t have you in his arms at least once a day.

Absolutely loves the idea of gifting flowers with different meanings, especially roses and carnations. Also gets you the most prettiest vase ever, also funds you with the equipment to take care of the flowers.

Reliable when asking about notes in class, but depending on if you know cursive you might need him to read it out to you. He also offers to tutor you if you need help or he even spends money on one for you. Study dates with him btw!

Picks you up in his limo and makes sure to have your favorite drinks and snacks stored there. Even if he has his own car he does the same and even makes sure to add your playlist, does not mind if he has to stop his music just for yours to play.

N1 fan of people who make him fight for love. Essentially playing hard to get. He loves the challenge.

MATCHING JEWELRY WITH HIM!!! HE LOVES THE IDEA OF IT, MAKES HIM SO GIDDY. DOES NOT MIND WHAT THE CHARM IS JUST WANTS TO MATCH WITH YOU. HE DEFINITELY GETS YOU BOTH PROMISE RINGS AND EVEN A NECKLACE WITH THE “I Love You” IN A 100 LANGUAGES

Likes trying out different restaurants with you.

PIGGYBACK RIDES!! DOESNT MATTER HOW HEAVY U ARE HES GONNA CARRY YOU!

Nags at you like a mom if you don’t take care of yourself. Also is vvvv insistent that you’re healthy and does not mind one bit about blowing his money on your health.

Makes deals that if you do something he’ll do whatever you’d like. ALSO LIKE HES VVVV SUPPORTIVE!

If you recommend him something then he follows through.

He’s protective, ngl he’s really defensive if someone says something about you.

Talks about you a lot to people, and does not care how annoyed they are with his love talk. He tells them about the dates you’ve been on, how much you make him happy, etc.

NEVER TOSSES AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE WITH YOU. TIME WITH YOU IS ALL HE NEEDS TO BE KEPT SANE!!!

Once you guys get older and get married he has the wedding photos up on the walls. If you’re not Japanese then he makes sure to include the weddings photos from your culture. He doesn’t mind at all if he has to dress in your cultures wedding attire.

PLAY WITH HIS HAIR!!! HE DOESNT MIND IF YOU STYLE IT !

Fucking Friday- fic preview

alright @sweeteatercat this is some raw ass footage of The Eden Club sequel. Title omitted for spoiler reasons 👀

strap in

Connor’s usually not allowed more than two in a room with him. For both safety and financial reasons. But the group of young men that wants to rent his company tonight are in a polycule. They seem harmless enough, and the last thing Connor wants to do is come off as non inclusive. Surely the PR shitstorm of coming across as bigoted would be worse than breaking a few of Kamski’s club rules. Right?  

The payment processes and three young men enter the room. 

In his extended time around humans he’s gotten to know the softer sides of them. The kinder sides. His relationship with Hank and Gavin has been going amazing since he finally came clean about everything. So much hes forgotten that humans can be cruel too. Especially to anyone different than them. Or while under the influence of synthetic methamphetamines. 

Connor barely registers the feeling of lips on his mouth, because something behind his back was opening, taking his attention. He didn't even remember having an open port there. And yet-

“Wait-”

He loses ‘feeling’ first. It's the most noticeable error despite the four bright red error warnings in each sphere of his vision. Because there are three sets of hands on him, and he can’t feel any of them. “What are you-” doing to me!? He shouts, but the two hands on his face are silencing him, metaphorically and physically, pulling out the wires connected to his vocal chip.  

His thirium pump is working overtime, attempting to supply blue blood to the other surviving biocomponents while combating a busted tube in his back that was consistently spilling blue blood all over the floor. 

‘Please stop!’ he tries to beg, but no one can hear him. He doesnt think anyone would listen anyway. 

And then, they cut his sight. 

The only sense he had left was hearing, and he could hear it all. Their hateful slurs, their dirty words like Emily had warned against half a year ago. The use of his real name. 

Which meant, this had been a planned attack. They had known he was an android from the beginning, and managed to outsmart even the most advanced detective prototype. 

They were going to kill him. 

They were going to kill him and there were no more ‘Connor’s’ left to replace him. He would never see Hank again. Gavin. V. Markus, Emily, Sumo.

Maybe he was never meant to be a success. Maybe that was supposed to be his eventual AHA moment. Maybe he was created with the sole purpose to fail, so they could learn more. Just like Amanda said. Maybe that was Kamski’s big joke. It felt like one. Because here he was, under his creators own roof, bleeding out in his bedroom. 

Yet another MIssion FAil3d...

Location services disabled: 1:03 AM

OPTICAL UNIT- DESTROYED

THIRIUM PUMP- DAMAGED

REBOOTING INITIALIZING….FAILED…FAILED…

“Hey, hey you gotta stay with me! CONNOR!”

Connor’s lids blink erratically, but it does nothing to affect his visual receptors. They are still fried. Someone is shouting his name, but it’s hard to distinguish the who over the sounds of several different pieces of equipment whirling, beeping, and pinging in the background. It's giving Connor a headache. Then someone slaps the side of his face, attempting to rouse him. 

“Ow,” he says, but all that comes out is static. 

“Connor, it's Elijah, raise your hand if you can hear me.”

Connor surprisingly still has any autonomy over his limbs, but he’s able to raise his left hand up a few inches. He doesnt miss the obvious blatant relief in Elijah's sigh when he did that. 

“Okay, stay with me. You're going to be okay. I’ve got you.”

Was he dying? Again? He couldn't feel anything. Not like he did during deviation. He always expected death to feel like something. The humans were scared enough of it that it being painful was plausible. But instead he felt nothing, saw nothing. And then-

“Connor!”

-

The DPD-1:26 AM

Hank gets the message first. 

“FUCK!”

It could be about anything with the way Hank throws that word around, but the way he flies out of his chair and topples it as he yanks up his jacket, Gavin knows it's about Connor. 

“Shit,” Gavin agrees, grabbing his own coat. “Whoa, hey! Slow down, talk to me!” he demands but Hank can't see him right now, can’t hear him. He’s in mission mode and he is booking it out the bullpen as fast as his amazon legs will take him.  Gavin follows, having to jog to keep up with Hank's huge strides. 

When they reach the police cruiser, Gavin takes the keys out of Hank's hands. The man blinks twice before rounding on Gavin, looking like he's going to strike him. Gavin doesn't back down. 

“Just tell me where to drive. You're gonna get us killed too.”

Hank's face lost all of its color and Gavin feels like someone kicked him in the gut. 

“Shit… is he-”

“NO,” Hank insists angrily, yanking open the passenger door, before barking out “The Eden Club,” hollowly.

Gavin’s color drains too. For more reasons than one…

[tiredstressedemotionalmess]

am sick so if you'd like to speak some suitehearts/killjoys thoughts to me i would love to hear them :P

im sorry ur not feeling well :(( heres a (too goddamn long sorry) summary of all the suitehearts Thoughts i was struck with in latin earlier to hopefully make you feel a bit better <33

so first i was just thinking abt Benz and how hed get roped into the show via threats from bli and then i was like ohhh okay what if they offer him a lab space/equipment to do whatever experiments/research he wants if they agree to being on the show. bc like at this point its abundantly clear that hes not gonna work for them by making new drugs as originally planned but they dont want to risk losing his potential (and they wanna show that theyre still fucking in control) so they make them this "deal" (which theyve really got no other option to take if they dont wanna die) and he gets this lab and figures he can find a way of counteracting blis bullshit sort of in secret bc he knows hes never gonna be able to get this equipment anywhere else

AND THEN i started thinking abt how this would effect his relationship with everyone else on the show (namely Sandman and Donnie bc Crab atp basically just exists off set in a drugged up haze) and i started thinking that maybe thered be some tension there bc the others are either poor or poor AND heavily demoted from past positions of power, and they look at Benz with his higher education and seemingly wealthy lifestyle and they think hes an enthusiastic participant in the system thats fucked them both over. so maybe theyre both kinda dicks to them off set but im thinking Benz doesn't really care bc he doesnt hang around much anyways if they arent filming- hes gotta spend every possible second in the lab yk? and then i started thinking about what might push them all to really talk and become friends which led to THE fucking idea ever

so one day Sandy and Donnie are looking for Benz in his dressing room bc they were supposed to start filming like fifteen fucking minutes ago god Benz this isnt just your show stop being so fucking selfish and come do your job- but they stop as just outside the door as they very clearly hear Benz arguing with someone important and they're saying something about a deal? and Benz sounds pissed saying this wasnt in the agreement and they said he could research whatever he wanted and they cant just do this- if they take this from him hes done. he's walking. they already took everything else from him so if they dont let him have this then hes off the fucking show and they can just try and catch him when he runs. and Whoever theyre talking to is just like "lolz okay well if you're leaving guess were gonna have to recast everyone for 'consistency' so i guess all the others have no reason to be kept around anymore-" and its like. a VERY clear threat on the rest of the Suitehearts' lives and Benz fucking freaks out. he backtracks immediately apologizes for speaking out says they can take his research he doesnt care jesus just dont bring them into this they didnt even do anything

so then Sandy and Donnie are like "ohhh What The Fuck :D" and they kinda feel like assholes for making assumptions bc clearly this isnt the first time Benz has been threatened (and its very much implied that blis gone through with last threats when he wasnt compliant) and theyve both already had their own shit building up and their hatred for bli was already basically at the tipping point already so yeah. they confront Benz and Benz tells him that theyd been trying to develop a sort of blocker for bli's pills. something people in the city can take to negate their effects. he didnt even know if it was possible or if he was on the right track with his research but apparently bes gotten close enough to something for bli to have to step in now. and the other two are obviously like ?????? WHAT THE FUCK YOU MEAN YOU LITERALLY INVENTED A WAY TO FREE PEOPLE FROM BLIS CONTROL WHAT THE SHIT WE HAVE TO HELP YOU SAVE THAT SHIT RIGHT THE FUCK NOW

and Benz is all like "well technically idk if ive invented shit yet bc i haven't actually tested the drug on anyone" and the others are like "bet okay you need a test subject? lets yoink Crab". Benz is incredibly fucking against doing that bc Consent and Ethics. he lets it slip that he does have a stash of the drug already made and hidden in his apartment and hes just gonna test the shit on himself but Sandy and Donnie are noooot fucking having it bc "dude. you understand they arent gonna let you go after this right? even if they keep you alive, they are gonna start tightening the reigns and pumping you full of shit and then youre gonna be the one who needs the blockers" and yeah they really do have a point there so Benz agrees to join them on the escape plan theyve been devising (which side note. yeah those two were planning on running away together anyways but thats a different post probably-) and what follows is the most stressful fucking two weeks of all of their lives as they start discreetly gathering the shit theyll need to leave all while having to wrap filming this season and dealing with management watching their every fucking move and making vague ominous comments about "the future of their careers" AND theyre slipping Crab these new fucking pills and having to keep a close eye on them and keep them calm as theyre slowing coming out of their trance and realizing Oh Fuck Im In The City

and then like. it all comes to a head and they very publicly are chased by a bunch of crows in costume bc they end up having to fin in the middle of filming and i havent thought much abt this lart yet so yeah. thats what i spent all of latin thinking abt I HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER SOON KAZ <333

#asks #my headcanons #danger days #danger days headcanons #americas suitehearts #killjoy suitehearts #<gonna try use that tag to keep all my thoughts together :p #danger days the true lives of the fabulous killjoys #and yes this is literally the exact shit i said i wasnt gonna post abt and this is what im writing a fic on so spoilers ig but not really #BUT ITS NOT MY FAULT OKAY I NEED TO CHEER NY FRIEND UP AND I JUST STARTED TYPING AND COULDNT STOP #so enjoy all my Too Many words ig #my writing

[orowyrm]

#1: I love finding someone with a unique/rare ship or headcannon.

#2: the interaction with Sigma and Sombra, where Sigma is saying Moira is going to run some tests on him, how do you think Ramattra would respond to hearing that?

#3 do they have any nick names for each other?

AW TEEHEE THANKYOU!!! its been a while since ive had the motivation to like, draw or write anything for em but rest assured im thinking about them so so so much... youve activated my autism trap card though i have an INSANE amount of convoluted opinions on the nature of character dynamics between sigma and sombra as well as sigma and moira and im taking this opportunity to babble about it. sorry in advance.

as for the interaction, personally im of the opinion that said 'tests' are literallly.... just tests. as in like, yknow, bloodwork, scans to make sure the implants and augments he has are actually working to redirect excess pressure and kinetic energy from his vital organs when using his abilities ... ive talked about how i think that sorta stuff works more in this post but tldr is that a lot of the tech and equipment hes using is of his own design and VERY experimental, hes pretty much flying blind here so he kind of has to make changes as he goes and so it's kinda important that his health and safety are taken into account. and he also has a bit of a uhhh. demonstrable history of disregarding his own safety for the sake of his research. it would kind of make sense that theyd be going out of their way to make sure someone stays on him about actually doing the damn tests and keeping track of the results. it just so happens that he's really averse to letting just anyone Examine (tm) him because of. yknow. the everything. and moira happens to fit the bill of being A. someone he feels he can trust to not take things too far (whether or not he's making a good choice here is up for debate, but i think he could do worse) and B. actually have a degree of knowing what she's doing. i definitely think that the only reason she's bothering at least initially is her own curiosity about everything he's got going on, but he also does just really feel like the type to jsut kind of naturally be very endearing . ive said before that a lot of their interactions read as playful to me, at least on his end - he DEFINITELY sounds like he's messing with her on purpose. i think he does genuinely regard her as a friend, and for the most part, he's probably right - even if she's a bit cranky about it. i have a LOT of thoughts about their relationship too honestly probably far too many to cram into this one post LMFAO i think about the dynamic a lot. im a moira apologist idc i think that she is capable of being nice sometimes. just because shes kind of a cunt sometimes doesnt mean shes needlessly cruel, like not only do i feel like messing with his head and experimenting on him given his history would be kinda kicking him while he's down. but ALSO, i feel like she's smart enough to know that making him an enemy would be a baaaad idea. he can literally explode people with his mind. she knows better than to give him any reason to be genuinely mad at her, and i do think he would absolutely NOT tolerate any kind of treatment like that ever again unless it was on his terms and he had the power to just leave if it got to be too much. even as it is, i think the entire process is a bit of a sore spot for him and not exactly something he's thrilled about, hence his hesitation in that interaction - not because it's happening against his will so much as he's regarding it the same way i think about having to go get blood drawn. it's not fun, but it's gotta happen somehow.

all that to say, i think upon overhearing discussion of said 'tests' without further context mattra would NOT be happy about it, likely getting defensive the same way sombra does. he'd probably be a lot harder to dissuade than she is tbh, i dont know if he'd really take moira's word for it that there's nothing underhanded going on here unless sig told him so himself, and even then it would still put his hackles up. he's probably very nosy about it for a very long time. just to be safe.

as far as nicknames/pet names go, in my mind theyre both very... awkward about these kinda things i guess if that makes sense? emotional vulnerability comes easily for NEITHER of them, between sig still recovering from decades of isolation and mattra just naturally being very guarded and bitter (for good reason!) and not used to outwardly expressing his care for others, especially not for some random human who seems to have decided that they're friends. to me, their dynamic is very much one of tentativeness and battling with distrust and insecurity. i think it would take a very, very long time to get there, and even longer to actually be able to casually say stuff like that without wanting to explode and die on the spot. i do think sig is a bit more outwardly affectionate than mattra, but even then, a lot of it is kinda tempered by the fact that he's just very forward with everyone about everything at this point - he's kind of desperate for positive connections with others that he can hold onto, so he's reached a point where it doesn't take much to get him to consider someone a friend and he's not exactly hiding it anymore. oh, i dropped something and you picked it up before i had a chance to? sick, we are now besties and i would kill for you.

i think that sort of attitude would catch ramattra off guard and he'd not really know how to react to any of it. sig could call him anything at this point, but if it's in an affectionate tone he WILL bluescreen about it. ramattra.exe has encountered an error and must restart

i do really like sig's valentines voiceline, so i might just roll with 'starlight' even if it's a bit cheesy... hell, now that i think about it, i think he'd do that specifically BECAUSE it's cheesy and will probably elicit an eye-roll or a 'stop that'. he seems to enjoy pushing people's buttons. maybe bothering his friends is his love language idk

#SORRY if none of these are sufficient answers i am in a rambly mood tonight and this #got me thinkin and thonkin #thankyou so much though i love excuses to talk about them. im so normal about them #overwatch #sigmattra

[dballzposting]

What if tarble and vegeta swapped places?

IF VEGETA GOT EXILED AS A YOUTH ? If he didnt have a high power reading as a babe? That would sort of change everything about dragom ball Z. I am not equipped to answer such an inquiry. This is quite the task.

Well I guess that Vegeta would commit himself to training all the same and swear revenge not just on Frieza but on his own family as well. And I guess Tarble would come to earth and I think loosen up faster than Vegeta did. Maybe he deosnt even kill Nappa. And hes not that fueled by contempt for Frieza so honestly he hangs out with Kakarot a bit bc hes sort of a cool dude.

And then Vegeta shows up eventually to kill Tarble and Frieza and everybody, but all the saiyans and the Z team are first united under the common cause to take out Frieza, and maybe by doing so Vegeta decides that it would be best to keep his now-teammates alive so that he has someone to rule over.

Eventually he surpasses everyboyd but Kakarot because he cares more than the others do, and Tarble amd Nappa become like Oolong and Roshi and they just hang out and dont care about anything and they just wanna have a good time. Sort of an impeccable ending for them if you ask me. Reminds me of some certain saiyan ocs of mine ... But I like this better bc Tarble is asexual and I think that thats classy OH GOD DOES HE EVER MEET HIS WIFE???? WELL THATS GOTTA HAPPEN SOMEHOW.

Ok maybe during all the space travels Tarble and Gure meet somehow. Maybe it was before the plot drama and it was on a planet that they decided wasnt worth destroying and selling so they left it in tact and Tarble had met a woman there whom he hasnt been able to stop thinking abt since......... so when he gets a minute he goes back.

I do like the aesthetic of Nappa amd Tarble being trashy bachelors who hang out in obscure locations though. A great influence for the kids

Also interesting to ponder who does and doesnt end up retaining their tail... Nice ask . Thank you

#dballz posting #dballz asks #That would be so scary and pure madness. The Saiyan Prince's slightly taller rejected older brother #filled with life-sustaining contempt and rage. Jacked up hairline. #No connections or loyalties to anyone (unlike tarble who in this context would have a sense of duty to his kind) #(maybw thats why he doesnt hate kakarot)

[cominy-kiwami]

just read a steam review that said that judgment forces its own moral conclusion onto the player. that it presents the philosophical conundrum of how many people you can kill for a good cause and then discards any interpretation other than “none” once all the cards on the table. the fact you had room to interpret the answer as something other than that means that did not happen in the story man. inspector morita was literally there as a justified believer in shono’s actions, and you can still argue that shono’s only crime was his inability to move forward once he knew for an actual fact that the medicine wasnt going anywhere.

yagami is not just The Truth Personified he is a character with flaws as much as the rest of them. he is willing to let a potential alzheimer’s cure fall through on his principle alone, generally takes black and white stances on issues and doesn’t much listen to people who aren’t saying what he already believes is true. it makes him a good protagonist of a story where he has to go against every authority to discover the truth, and i find him charming regardless in the akiyama sort of way, but it leaves him a little less than optimally equipped to tackle a complex nuanced situation like the one presented in the game.

rgg studios is obsessed with the conflict between principle and pragmatism but its your own mistake for thinking that the protagonist is somehow exempt from taking part in this struggle in a meaningful way or that a protagonist is not allowed to not be morally upright. kiryu is not morally upright either, just because he beats up people who are mostly worse than him doesn’t exempt him from the fact that he consistently chooses to uphold and maintain the existence of the yakuza. he believes in simply barring the WRONG people from taking part in the yakuza even though his so called right people such as daigo still contribute to this entire SYSTEM that propogates the strife. doesnt mean i dont like kiryu in fact in fact i like him a lot and i ultimately think he does a lot of good in the world, same with yagami, but the characters are made more interesting for having stances i can disagree with.

you gotta think more about what youre seeing on your screen

confessions; but not remembering it

ft. kita shinsuke, sakusa kiyoomi x sick fem!reader

genre: fluff

masterlist

a/n: this has been sitting in my drafts for a while and then i rushed bc i was getting tired 🙃 also. sakusa's is a little ooc. sorry ab that

-» ˚⸙͎۪۫⋆

» the clean yet musty smell of rain filled the gym as the boys practiced. it was a surprisingly humid and rainy spring day today here in the country side of hyogo

» "achoo" you had been sneezing and coughing all day. you also had a terrible headache but took some medicine to see if it would help. the spring allergies really getting to you

» you didnt reay have the time to be worrying about yourself. As a 2nd year manager of the inarizaki team, (recommend by suna) and the boys working so hard practicing for nationals there was no way you'd let this little cold get in the way. you had to work just as hard as everyone else!

» "hold on, im about to hang up your jerseys to dry"

» "i got you guys some fresh towels!"

» "i can run and grab that coach. im headed that way anyways"

» the coach called for a short break to rest up for a bit. everyone was sore and exhausted from practicing every day. "here. i filled your water bottles up!" handing them to all the boys. "y/n you're all wet" akagi sounded concerned.

» "hm? oh its alright. I'll dry off in a minute. i took the shortcut to the drinking fountain to refill your waterbottles instead of taking the long way" you nonchalantly said. "so you ran through the rain like an idiot?" suna threw a clean towel over your damp hair and ruffled it. "suna!! stop!! you're gonna ruin my hair"

» "like i said. its alright" you reassured the boys.

» kita, on the other hand had noticed your fatigue. although he wasnt as perceptive on peoples feeling and thoughts as well as others, he could easily pick up signs like yours. he admired you dearly for how hard you always work for the team. how you willingly did anything to make them smile. how you always put others first before yours. needless to say, he had a bit of a crush on you.

» "l/n san. i think you should take a break too. there's no need for you to be running around for us while we're resting" kita assured you. "i still have a few things left on my list to do.. but afterwards I'll take a break!" kita let out a sigh. you were stubborn sometimes and kita knew you were the kind of person to not stop until you're finished.

» "I'll be right back. i gotta grab the laundry"

» making an excuse to leave, your heart was beating fast. you knew kita's words were the kind he'd say to anyone, but it made your heart feel fuzzy when he'd look out for you.

» the stone cold captain who you thought he was, actually was so kind. he was just a little awkward like you, and a little blunt with what he said sometimes. but you learned the great qualities he carries and how much he actually cares about others well being. he was a hard worker and you couldnt help but absentmindedly fall for the captain.

» running up the stairs to the second floor of the gym, you felt a shift in your step. head becoming dizzier than it was just 5 minutes ago. legs trembling, you started falling before feeling a presence behind.

» kita's arm wrapped around your waist, supporting you in efforts to not letting you fall over. "i told you to rest l/n san" kita said sternly. "you wont benefit anyone if you keep overworking like this."

» you knew kita was right, but you really didnt want to rest knowing you'll be letting the team down by not working hard.

» "i promise I'll rest as soon as im done with this one thing" pleading with kita. he let out a sigh, knowing you really wouldnt until you did finish so he allowed you to do so.

» finishing grabbing all of the dry jerseys and bringing them downstairs to pass out to everyone, you didnt really notice atsumu and osamu spiking volleyballs at each other until aran yelled

» "y/n! watch out!" honestly, you were too tired to move out of the way so you figured, it do be like that sometimes, and allowed the ball to hit you.

» or... so you had planned the ball to hit you.

» kita stood in front, blocking the impact of the spike that you had prepared yourself for. there was agitation in kita's eyes. more than you usually noticed when then twins were miss behaving. concern washing over, he looked you straight in the eyes

» "... is there something wrong kita san?" lifting up his hand to your forehead, he let out a sigh. "why didnt you tell me earlier you had a fever", then walking over to the coach meanwhile atsumu and osamu come over to apologise for being reckless.

» "get your stuff. we're going home" kita said bluntly.

» "huh? but practice is-"

» "please l/n san. for me"

» kita would only take yes for an answer this time. no if's ands or buts. so here you were, walking home with kita. only the sound of raindrops hitting your shared umbrella being heard.

» muscles starting to ache a little more and your legs becoming more tired than they were when you left the gym, you began to walk a little slower every step

» "get on my back l/n" "its ok kita san, i can walk. its already enough that you're walking me home" "i didnt ask if you wanted to. im telling you to"

» you couldnt tell if it was the fever that made your face warmer or if it was kita's words. nonetheless, you got on kita's back. he was a lot stronger than he looked and you couldnt help but stifen at being so close to your own crush like this.

» "relax. I'll make sure you get home." he reassured. you leaned into his back, warmth seeping in, your eyes began to feel heavy.

» "kita san" "yes?" "thank you for always watching out for me"

» a comfortable silence was met as the sound of rain filled your ears.

» "kita san" "hm?" "did you know..." your voice softened "i like you a lot kita san"

» did he hear you correctly? if he wasnt paying attention he wouldve missed what you had said, being drowed out through the pitter patter of water. now his heart thumping louder than ever before.

» "l/n san-" he was about to go on but was met with the gentle rise and fall of your chest and the soft snores of you on his back, knocked out from exertion. kita let out a light chuckle, finally relieved you were resting.

» you had missed the next day of school, but when you came back the whole volleyball team bombarded you with love.

» "WE'RE A FAILURE TO NOT NOTICE YOU FEELING SICK" atsumu cried. "how could we let our one and only precious manager get ill for taking care of us" akagi, clearly dissapointed in himself. "please let us know when we can take care of you too y/n" aran said.

» "its no big deal. really!" waving your hands in defense. "it was just a small cold. but i do have a question though"

» all the boys gathered around to hear what you had to say

» "how did i get home?? i really dont remember what happened after i almost got hit by atsumu"

» it shocked the guys honestly. you genuinely didnt remember a single thing due to your fever. "wait? you don't remember kita taking you home?" suna replied, your face becoming red. "k-kita san took me home-?" "yah. he left in the middle of practice to do so" osamu added.

» immediately, you got up to find the captain that apparently took you home the other day. he was in the storage closet cleaning and grabbing the equipment for todays practice.

» "kita san" "oh. l/n. glad you're feeling better" his smile brightened the musty closet. "about that, im sorry for troubling you and having you take me home the other day. i honestly dont remember what happened after i almost got hit by atsumu. my mind was really fuzzy that day, but im truly thankful for you going out of your way for me. it really means a lot"

» kita was dumbfounded. you really dont remember? "no need to apologize l/n. it was my responsibility as a captain. and afterall, what good would i be if i couldnt even take care of the person who means the most to me"

» your heart raced. 'person who means the most to me' ? cheeks blushing a rosy pink, you were internally thanking the musty store room from being dim.

» with arms full of equipment, kita walked by you and stopped.

» "by the way l/n san. did you know?"

» ears perking up at the vague yet familiar line

» "i like you a lot too l/n san"

» now we all know sakusa HATES germs and for the past week and a half, he's been telling you to keep up with washing your hands, wearing a mask at all times even when you eat omi it doesnt work like that. pls especially since you are prone to getting sick easily no matter how hygenic you are. your immune system just hated you. PERIODT

» you remembered sakusa scolding you for running out of hand sanitizer and then the next day you were out of commission. bed ridden with laryngitis, cough, slight fever, the whole works. it was like your body was making fun of you or something

» you texted komori, asking him to take notes in class for you and relay homework information while you were at home resting up. but there was one request you had and made komori PROMISE.

» DO NOT TELL SAKUSA YOU GOT SICK

» "he's probably gonna notice your absence y/n. he'll find out about it either way"

» "well if you dont tell him then he wont know. its not like he even cares about where i am like that"

» "thats what you might think. but i know he's gonna say something i can garuntee it"

» the next day at school, sakusa did notice your presence missing. it was quieter not having a 3rd person in the group of friends. not having you around to talk to him when komori was gone.

» pulling out his phone to text you, he asked where you were that day.

» "on a family trip :D !!! forgot to tell you, but I'll tell you all about it when i come back!" you wrote, attaching an old selfie of a different trip you went on to make it more believable.

» you had hoped this silly cold would get better in a day, but soon that day turned into 2 and then 3 and then 4... you pretty much missed the whole week of school at that point

» Friday rolled around and komori was on his phone all day. sakusa noticed his cousin fidget in his chair more than usual and it irked him to see him like that

» "what's with you today?" one eye raised, sakusa finally asked. "uhhh nothing really" komori wasnt very good at keeping secrets lets just start off with that, but he was trying his best.

» "well clearly somethings wrong. you're fidgeting." "well haven't you noticed somethings been different all week?" komori hinted

» sakusa sat there in thought. nothing's been different? he ate the same breakfast he usually does every morning. all his studies have been well. there were no tests this week so there was no reason to be anxious like komori was and even if there was, he would've done well anyways.

» "just tell me what it is." sakusa was starting to get annoyed. "y/n..." komori started. "y/n?" "do you know where she's been this week?"

» did you not tell komori about your family trip? you usually told komori everything, but then again you didn't tell him either until he asked you about it.

» "she said shes on a trip?" he nonchalantly said. komori's eyes started watering. "A TRIP TO THE HOSPITAL THATS WHAT IT IS" he blurted out. komori didnt mean to let it slip , he was just so worried about your well being.

» "hospital?? what are you talking about. did she get injured on her trip?" "no omi. shes been sick all week and her mom just texted me saying she went to the hospital today because shes had a fever for 3 days straight. there is no family trip"

» sakusa's heart shattered. you were sick and didnt even tell him?

» before both he and komori knew it, his legs were running faster to get to the hospital than he had ever imagined he could ever run.

» and there you were. fast asleep in a bed with an IV drip. your face flushed, forehead sweaty and shallow breaths escaping your chapped lips. you were a hot mess but sakusa didnt care. stepping to your bedside to greet your mother she explained to him that she had to go to work and asked if he could watch over you until she gets back.

» sakusa said yes without even hearing the whole thing. his heart and mind saying yes to whatever it took to get you to feel better.

» gosh how he hated hospitals, but what he hated even more was the fact that you were in the hospital and he didnt even know.

» the doctor came in for their evening round and ensured sakusa that you were indeed getting better! your fever had broken not too long ago and your body was working extra hard to heal itself up!

» "is there anything i can do to help?" sakusa asked. he felt helpless in this situation just watching your face distort in uncomfort every now and then, and coughing your lungs out.

» patting sakusa's shoulder, the doctor told him that just being here for you is enough. "you gotta be a strong boyfriend for her alright son? she'll be able to go home tomorrow first thing in the morning if her fever doesnt come back"

» sakusa slumped in his chair at your bedside, the doctors words ringing through his head. 'boyfriend huh?' he thought to himself. "if i was her boyfriend..." he whispered to himself, "i would be a failure for not even knowing my girl was sick..."

» to kiyoomi, you were beautiful. even now in this sad state you were in. deep down he locked these growing feelings he had for you inside of him because he always felt like you were a better match with someone else and after this stunt you pulled of lying to him about going on a family trip, it only made him feel worse.

» it was now night time and you finally began to stir in your sleep, the fever finally gone. sakusa reached out to move some hair that was stuck to your face, fingers tracing the outline of your jaw. your eyes slowly opened and met with his dark orbs.

» "y/n?" "saku- wait this is just a dream. omi wouldn't be here. he hates hospitals" you let out a forced laugh and then a sigh through your sore throat.

» you reached out to sakusa's hands that were resting on the side of your bed. "omi would never let me hold his hand because he'd say im passing germs to him so hopefully dream omi wont be the same" you were aimlessly talking to yourself, not even realizing that this really wasnt a dream.

» he squeezed your hand in return. hoping that you wouldnt let go any time soon. a funny smile appeared on your face just at the thought of him. "even if you're stupid for not realizing how much i like you... i cant wait to see you again omi" you whispered before falling asleep again.

» sakusa didnt know what to do. he sat there frozen in his chair. it was his first time hearing you call him omi. heck. you literally just confessed to the boy. his brain was running wild. groaning in distress he let go of your hand to step out for a breath of fresh air now that you were back asleep.

» it was 5am and your mother came back to the hospital and thanked sakusa for staying by your side. He left in a hurry to make sure you didnt see him there.

» Monday rolled around and sakusa was waiting outside of the school gates for you. he had planned on asking you about your "trip"

» "good morning sakusa!!" your bright and cheery voice rang through his ears. honestly he was trembling inside. the memory of you confessing to him still fresh in his mind.

» "how was your trip?" you stopped dead in your tracks. "haha... it was good !! sorry i forgot to get you a souvenir" you were trying to play it cool but sakusa could tell you were forcing yourself. "i wouldnt want a souvenir from where you came from so its fine" sakusa's words threw you off. "i - im not sure im understanding what you're saying sakusa?"

» you felt a tug on your hand. "dont you mean omi?" his voice husky as he whispered into your ear. cheeks flushed, your brain felt like it short circuted. you've always tried your hardest to not let it slip that you want to call him omi since he hated when people called him that.

» sakusa smirked at your cute reaction he got out of you. letting go of your hand he began to walk into the school leaving you at the gate dumbfounded. "and by the way. you're just as stupid for not realizing how long ive liked you too"

[ganondoodle]

yr brain? galaxy level. i wanna hear all ur lore and stuff

you know what ? im gonna write the basic plot for soogas backstory here now too-

- his parents were both sheikah soldiers serving the royal family, they were nearly never home so he barely even knew them and was pretty much living on his own from a young age on

- they both died while on a mission far away, but that didnt change much for him other than him having to find a way to earn money himself now

- when he was a teenager he was recruited by the royal family (he wanted to tho) which is also where he met Hibiki (my only real zelda Oc .. sorry gotta involve them now- this is how they look, although they are older here than when sooga first met them

i think i forgot to post this on tumblr lmao; anyway they are an artist and a bit older than sooga)

- since they were both outcasts with no relatives that cared about them they quickly became friends (tho it was def more one sided at first bc Hibiki is a way more extroverted ) tho Hibiki has been a bit longer in the army so they rarely went on missions together and only hung out during breaks or when they had both time off

- even after years of training they both stayed in the lower ranks of the army and never managed to climb to a higher one, part of the reason was that Hibiki didnt do a good job of being a spy, not bc they were detected, they just never had much information to report for some reason and Sooga always defended them when they got bullied by higher ups for it (you know how he threatens ppl) which in turn made him less liked and got him almost kicked out once (and yes, Hibiki did have a crush on Sooga but he never realized that even tho they made it REALLY obvious)

- you know the story how link got appointed as zeldas bodyguard ? with him deflecting a laser from a malfunctioning guardian to protect the princess ? yeah, so in my hc, while he did deflect it it didnt straight up hit the guardian back but rather was simply redirected and although Hibiki tried to pull Sooga away it still hit the left side of his face which is how he got that big af scar and lost his eye

- he survived and of course Hibiki was there to take care of him whenever they could, but the more time went on while he recovered it was made clear that the higher ups wanted to kick him out of the army after his wound healed bc they didnt think he was fit to fight anymore missing an eye (thats what they said but it was pretty obvious they just wanted a reason to get rid of him) 

- Hibiki reassured Sooga they would do everything they could to convince them otherwise bc they knew that all he ever wanted to do is be a strong and respected soldier serving the royal family, but who would listen to the worst spy in the whole army .. he got kicked out anyway of course and was forced to work as a farmer (more like help other farmers really) 

- from then on Hibiki was trying to be a better spy, so they could earn enough respect to maybe get the army to welcome Sooga back into their ranks

- but one day when Sooga returned from some field work he noticed a new grave at the corner of the village, and asked who died, it took some time for him to find out it was Hibiki who fell in battle bc after they left the village they never returned so the other villagers forgot even their name, the army brought their body back into the village since they were borne there and didnt have any living relatives

- that was what pushed his resentment for the kingdom and the other sheikah over the edge really, he stole some ancient hidden away sheikah scrolls from the elder of the village and used them to teach himself some techniques ... or at least TRIED to, the only one he was able to manage was a half functional clone, which he used to fake his death and live a live in the shadows, staying away from settlements out of fear of beign recognized

- he made his way into the gerudo desert where he never went to before, and in a cold night snuk undetected into the yiga hideout in the search for shelter since he wasnt equipped for that kind o extreme weather .. tho he didnt realize what he just did

- in the morning he was found after all and, understandably, attacked bc wth how did that guy even get in here ?? after he managed to survive for pretty long given the circumstances, he tried to flee but was stopped by master kohga himself, and while kohga was monologing about .. stuff, Sooga realized this might be his chance to live a proper life again and that pretty close to what he always wanted, so he promptly asks to join them

- positively surprised kohga of course cant just accept him into the clan like that, i mean Sooga was wearing sheikah clothing and got UNDETECTED into their hideout and took a nap there for several hours before being found, thats suspicious as hell

- after being put through several tests and challanges he is accepted into the clan after all-

- now fast forward post calamity (just a few years tho) the topic of Soogas origins comes up and he tells kohga alot but is interrupted bc koh ask him if the friend he was talking about was “a kinda weird artist” ... turns out Hibiki died in a clash with the yiga clan and ... was killed by kohga himself.

- Hibiki always carried a sketchbook in a bag around with them, and the clan took it after their death bc they thought it might contain useful info, it didnt, but since the sketches in it where pretty good they kept it anyway even if it was only half readable since it got soaked in blood

- that is a reveal that tested soogas loyalty to the clan like nothing else could (everyone in the clan including kohga, was expecting him to turn against them again, but were still waiting for him to actually betray the clan)

- sooga didnt turn on them tho, reason was, he managed to seperate the pages of the sketchbook that were stuck together from blood and discovered finely detailed art of the hideout, of its interior too and even of kohga as well

- Hibiki never had much info to tell their superiors bc they snuk around the hideout when on a mission but never with the goal to rat the clan out. they secretly admired kohga and the clan, even wanted to join them for a long time, but never got to do it bc they didnt want to leave Sooga behind but also .. they were afraid to tell him bc he was so focused on becoming a good sheikah soldier they were sure he wouldnt feel the same; they were torn between wanting to join the yiga but afraid of destroying their friendship with sooga ..

when they got into that fatal fight with the clan, kohga didnt even attack them with the intend to kill and they could have easily dodged or parried the hit, the reason they didnt was, ironically, bc they were so stunned by admiration of seeing their idol right in front of them they didnt move a muscle until it was too late...

this got longer than i thought, maybe i went into too much detail here, but anyway this is a summary of the backstory i came up with for Sooga, it doesnt end here tho, this is more like the story of how sooga became part of the yiga; after all of this comes alot more tho it wouldnt make much sense to add that here too xD 

sorry for the long af post, i hope its somewhat understandable ;__;

let’s play ntwewy: part 5

while waiting for the RNS to tell them where to start looking for their second clue, rindo starts texting his online friend, swallow, again. he says he’ll help any way he can. i mean, yknow, via text

YET ANOTHER TUTORIAL FIGHT! this one is to show off pin drops. we get a pin with a bunny on it! sho looks disappointed with it and leaves.

(im equipping him with it)

they finally get their next hint from the RNS - they’re supposed to search a tower or something?

after a much easier time searching...

third clue’s in dogenzaka, but we have to give the wall reaper a certain pin to get by. a certain pin... from a certain noise

(here’s the tutorial on how to use the noise report i mean noisepedia)

(...this demo is very tutorial-y)

i kinda already have a ton of these pins so... onward!

shoka’s here! that means it’s insult-slash-exposition time!

so here’s where they find out that theyre in the UG (underground), as opposed to their usual RG (realground). and theyre here because theyre dead and this is hell the afterlife. fret and rindo are too confused to be particularly upset by this revelation

for one thing, at what point did they actually die??? something’s fucky in shibuya

(something’s always fucky in shibuya)

also she tells us to grab any pins we find... which is referring to drops from defeating noise...

(R-RIGHT?)

so after all these tutorials and infodumps................ fret still thinks it’s just some wacky prank or whatever. i mean, they’d REMEMBER if they died. it’s not like anyone would FORGET THEIR OWN DEATH, right??? 

they get a message saying where to find the last clue. also you can fight the first pig noise here! your reward is a yen pin you can’t use in the demo!

OH SHIT! someone painted over the last clue! NOW how will our heroes clear the mission????

sho stops being conspicuously absent for a sec to cryptically say he doesn’t really give a shit about any of this. neato! also rindo asks him if he’s played the Game before (backstory when) and sho doesnt deny it

but he also doesnt deny accusations of murder. so.

anyway! they’ve gotta at least TRY to do something about this... but simply scanning everyone in the area might take too long. if only there was a way to speed up the process........ a way to make people think of certain key phrases...............

NEXT TIME: NOT MEMES

how the FUCK do some ppl just be walkin around w their phones just fuckin naked no case no screen protector no nothing??? do you have THAT MUCH trust in your own motor control??? or are you just so rich and/or careless with money that the thought of replacing a shattered screen doesnt even faze you???

like i got a new (or. technically used but new to me) phone today and the case hasn't come in the mail yet and i am TERRIFIED. i feel like if i so much as breathe on it wrong it'll shatter into a billion pieces like the breakaway glass of a window of some poor unsuspecting office worker in an action movie that's supposed to look cool but really just leaves me concerned about how the hell you replace windows on a skyscraper like it's gotta be difficult right???

i feel like there's probably not much equipment built for that purpose because you don't reasonably expect a window on the goddamned 20th floor to get broken cuz it's not like little timmy from next door can accidentally lob a baseball through it like with a normal window. do you gotta rebuild the scaffolding that was there during construction? do you do some jerry rigged version of that weird harness thing that window washers use (do window washers even exist in real life in the modern day??? and if so is there a limit on how tall of buildings they clean?) but beefed up to support a fuckhuge pane of glass and at least 2 people to install it?

at that point it's probably easier to just track down the flying neon tights-clad asshole who decided that your window was an acceptable place to slam the evil dr. spiderfucker and demand he fly up there and fix it for you.

actually, do you think there are any superhumans who decided "nah, the whole hero thing just aint for me". and just used their powers to handle tasks that would be difficult for normal humans to do

like some lady with lightning powers just sayin "you expect me to bust my fuckin ass saving this city -for fucking FREE, i might add-" (sidenote, do you think any superheroes have a patreon??? like might be tricky if they got the whole secret identity thing goin on but you could prolly make bank) "and constantly getting injured because NO i'm not impervious or anything my powers are literally JUST lightning -and, y'know, medical bills arent fucking CHEAP and heroism aint got no insurance plan and the american healthcare system is a fuckin JOKE."

"and the whole time making some dickhead villain who calls himself some shit like roboclown form a personal vendetta against me. that he tries to make into a gross heteroerotic rivalry and he gets fixated on me and tries to figure out my secret identity- yeah, i'd have to make up some alter ego like a high stakes version of hannah montana, probably someth cliche like 'electra' (but not electra bc that just reminds me of sigmund freud and his idea of an electra complex. god. what a creep.)- so that he could hold my family hostage."

(edit: looked it up and apparently electra complex was made up by jung, not freud. freud rejected it, not because it's fucking creepy bullshit (which it is) but because he felt like the idea would make boys and girls sound too similar and we can't have that, now can we?)

"and i mean okay i don't technically have family cuz my parents died in some kind of obligatory backstory bullshit probably involving a laboratory accident that led to me getting my powers. and like, fuck marriage and kids. but roboclown or whatever could still hurt my dogs."

"you expect me to be a fucking hero and put up with that shit??? are you out of your fucking MIND? have you gone off your rocker, flew over the handle, or simply fell off the waggon? no. no. FUCK that. i don't care if you think it's my responsibility to be a hero i didnt ASK for this bullshit."

"i just use my lightning to generate electricity for the local power plant. only gotta work a couple hours a day and i make a FORTUNE. i have health insurance with dental and a 401k. no one forming grudges against me except oil tycoons. but like they could just bribe me to stop, it'd be much cheaper for them to bribe me than to hire an assassin ballsy and skilled enough to kill a bitch with electric hands so like. i'm not worried."

...anyway. if you don't have a phone case i don't fucking trust you.

RWBY LiveThoughts: V8E7

Since I finally have time for it today, lets make sure Im all caught up for the hiatus. 

Before we get fully started, an idea; Its not a war crime if they’re Grimm. Then its just self defense. So break out the napalm, the cluster bombs, the chemical weapons, the fun stuff. Make em regret it, yeah?

And we start off...on a farm. Looks like my moms old farm in South Dakota. Even on Remnant, hay is best used in bales.

Waiiiit. Thats the place the Whale set down isnt it. I see a Sayber running. Ah, and the Atlas military! Surely, the vanguard of a massive force to hold the line! Also Im glad to see a close up of the helmet for once, I want to make my own. Also, the gloves, and the rifle itself. Not sure why it doesnt have a stock, seems kind of silly...

And airships too, so they got some fire support...whats that wall behind them though?

Also it TOOK US 8 FUCKING SEASONS to get a close up of these FUCKING Weapons. 8. FUCKING. SEASONS. Okay maybe more like 5 cause they didnt first appear till 3 or so but come on. Im so picking this shit apart later. 

Pfft, bros got some nerves going on. Come on man, its just some Grimm, you’ll be FINE.

Atlas field harvesters resemble Halo’s JOTUN Farming equipment. As wel as our own. No surprise there.

Alright, bunch of Saybers, not seeing much of a threat here.

Hey, Paladins! Damn, they...look way different than I remember them to be. 

I wont lie, I dont like the Paladin design. Way to much visual noise, I cant tell where anything IS. 

Also that is the most 2D grass I have sever seen in my fucking life. What the hell are they growing here...

Huh, the whale has two sets of teeth. Wait, its just there? And its wpewing out Grimm. So...why isnt the air force firing on it? 

Yeah its not moving, its just raising its head and slamming down and vomiting out more Grimm. Im not sure what the issue is here, just...seal the mouth. 

Oh, huh. Apathys. Let me guess, RTs gonna try and tell us depression is going to kill most of Atlas. Oh for fuck sake. IM NOT IMPRESSED RT. IM REALLY NOT. IM MORE FUCKING ANNOYED THAN ANYTHING

Okay so...I see what this is. Its farm land outside of atlas proper and there’s an additional wall behind them, plus the power lines I guess? Seems like a viable place to make a stand. 

...thats it. Please tell me this is just a single detachment of the Atlas military because there is less firepower here than a NATIONAL GUARD UNIT ASSIGNED TO ONE CITY

Im fairly certain there are more people assigned to ONE UNIT attached to JBLM then I amm seeing here. 

Not to mention this is an OPEN FIELD the Grimm have to run through. This is a literall fucking TURKEY SHOOT. Running across an open field anywhere is a ticket to DYING.

Just ask the poor fucks on D-day.

Also uh...why is everyone in line formation? What is this, fuckin’ 18009s combat Napoleon style?

And did the distance suddenly change, I feel like the whale suddenly got a hell of a lot closer.

Just...I dont get this. This makes no sense. Did Ironwood learn how to deploy forces from a fairy tale book? This is legitimately some fuckin Lord of the Rings shit here.

RIP that one specific trooper hit by that Behemoth though. Dont worry friend, the thing walked next to a Paladin. Its getting its eye blasted out

And cut back to Ironwood. Doing...fuck if I know what.

Staring angrily it seems.

“Dammit, my tactical deployment by line formation and parade ground tactics isnt holding back the Grimm, curses!”

Well MAYBE IF YOUD THOUGHT TO INVEST IN SOME FUCKING AIR SUPPORT...Seriously.

I know people have told me why this is. I understand myself why this is. But it really just...does...not...jibe with me. At all. 

Okay so more details; first, apparently Atlas has a subway. Makes sense, its a big island. Inter-system transits probably a given. Second; Was that Mantis Squad Omega? Some kind of unit maybe...interesting.

 Also I love how this guy just questions Ironwood. Like, bro, if the General says do it, do it.

Hold the fuck up, why is everyone outside? It looks like fuckin’ Cali during our lockdowns...what ever happened to martial law huh?

Also “underground subway stations”. Yes, thats...kind of what a subway IS. I guess maybe they have overhead ones like New York does. Mass transit be weird like that.

I mean HELL the signs on it are almost identical to the ones in NYC too! Even with the colored circles and train cnumbers. 

According to the sign here they’re at Pickens Square Station. 

Oh boy. Ironwood just fed these poor bastards into a meat grinder. Anyone here ever played the Metro game series, or read the books?

Remember the Dark Ones? The Nosallias? Yeah. Tight corridors and monsters only work out well for angry vodka fueled Russians.

Didnt see it very well but I THINK those Mantas had some kind of wing gun. Either thats new, a separate armament setting, or RT forgot what ind of weapons they gave their ships AGAIN.

Cant get the shields back up, yeah, no shit, they DETACHED ONE OF THE FUCKING PILOTS YOU IDIOTS.

Also hah, they arrested Yang, Ren and Jaune. Not surprised.

Beta squads apperently been hitting the whale. ‘Bombs, missiles, we cant make a dent, sir.” ...while Im not surprised by this, I also hear shades of the opening of Halo 2s level Metropolis. “Where’s the rest of your platoon?” “Wasted, sarge. Blew right through us. Rockets, fifty cals, didnt do nothing.”

Honestly they could have SHOWED THAT too. Them just saying it feels like a cop out to me. Take that as you will. But if you want us to see the things hard to kill, show it. 

Not that I figure Atlas’s rockets are much more than Dust in a propellent tank. Not exactly a Hellfire or TOW.

Nice to see proper military talk for...a moment anyway.

Or what I figure RT figures is proper.

Oh so now the whales moving. Okay...huh.

Jaunes commentary is the same as mine. Though I guess the size seems to shift depending.

Ohhh. Its MANTA. As in the gunships. Alright, sure that works. And this guys making a good call. If you cant hit the big one go after the smaller. Of which there seems to be a HELL of a lot. Actually holy fuck that Grimm spew is across like...ahlf the fucking island right now. Time to fuckin torch and burn people.

Ahhhhhh and they get to the proper idea.  If you cant punch it from the outside, hit it from the inside.

I knew a crew...three madmen, names of Keegan, Lahni and Mac. The Hivebusters. Something tells me a Venom bomb would do the trick...if it can rip apart Swarm creatures as big as a Snatcher or a Swarmak and reduce them to green slime, I think it’ll work on Grimm. 

Something tells me RT isnt gonna give em a bomb though. Too obvious.

NEVER MIND. “Science team is putting together a bomb.”

Also I LOVE how Winter’s pupils expand and retract in fear as she realizes what Ironwoods asking her to do.

Awww now shes getting the shakes too.

Salem directing this shit like shes some kind of orchestra leader. I mean it FITS but...I dunno.

Ah so the command deck is directly behind the whale’s glowing nose. Basically inside where the spermacetiy organ would be in a real sperm whale.

What the fuck is Emerald doing there?

Sneaking I guess. Huh. Why’s she sneaking around the whale. Also, huh. guess seeers can get fooled by Emeralds semblance.  Is HE STILL BEATING UP ON OSCAR? Jeez dude. Take a breather.

Honestly if this was TRUE I would be okay with it. Replace the Huntsman with, I dont know, a massively overequipped military for each Kingdom, let them run rampant...stomp the Grimm out or push them back to nonexistence...everyone lives happily ever after

Lets be real here, the idea of the academies? Really really fucking dumb. Its cute. Fairy tale like.

But if theres one thing this show has taught me its that fairy tales SUCK. Reality...tends to be worse.

Ah theres one of those torture hooks they mentioned a few episodes back. Nice of the whale to have a specific interrigation room.

And at last we get some information on how Salem works. Alright so...what happens if you seperate the parts then? Sink one in the ocean, launch one into space.

Sounds like Oz/Oscars telling the fans what we’ve been saying forever, Companion Book be damned; Salem wants to die.

These mind games bore me. Its cute, but I dont like it cause I cant follow that shit. Give me a straight up fight any day, fuck this sublty backroom fuckery

No lies from them both here honestly.

Medical supplies in Atlas seem almost the same as here on earth interestngly. Also, soup. Or...coffee, tea?

Blake with the obvious here. But I mean thats not really saying much cause...well. Not hard to outfight the Atlas military it seems like.  (Long suffering sigh)

Im gonna make a seperate post about my frustrations with that and leave it there. But dont expect me to stop fully complaining about it because everyones gotta have something to bitch about with this show, and I’ll be DAMNED if I start joining the BB whiners.

Good question, Ruby. Might be that YOUR NOT LIVING IN A FAIRY TALE

I’d like to see these people dying in Mantle. I refuse to believe that there isnt SOMEONE in the nation that once brought Remnant to its heel that wont stand and fight. Unless Im wrong about that too...

May backstory? May backstory. Yeah.  Not amazingly complicated but it works. Cant tell if shes Henry though...or was. 

Dramatic lightning flash

Cute you think that Ruby. Theres sides. Always are.

Further proof honestly.

Hazels look of though is amusing. Cant tell if he doesnt believe Oscar, or if his tiny peabrain is runing full bore to think this through.

Coordination between farm boy and professor.

Oh. OHHHH. Plants the seed of doubt in Hazels tiny mind, he uses the last question for himself, sees the truth... Clever, Oscar. Clever.

Hazel peabrain go THUNK

Ah so Mercs going off to Vacuo. Guess that means everyone else is going there next too. Eat that, random Discord person, I called it.

Course, CFVYs there so...maybe we get to see Yats beat up on him.

Oh hi Tyrian. Do you just...randomly roam the halls of the whale waiting to DRAMATICALLY REVEAL YOURSELF and give violent expositon? Im very much okay with that.

Also I love how he just...accepts this. Totally fucking bonkers, totally down with it. 

Oh shit, Tyrian and Mercury going to Vacuo? Damn thats gonna be INTERESTING. I guess Tyrian’ll fit in well enough honestly.

Flying Beringal literally out of the roof. 

I remember back when this season first started and I said those weird bone platforms looked like VTOL launch bays. Guess what? They are.

Merc and Em emotion blah blah DONT CAAARRREEE

Jaune thinking tactically for ONCE IN HIS FUCKING LIFE. An I mean military tactical of course.

Also I like how the Aces say they dont let emotions cloud their shit WHEN THEYVE BEEN DOING THAT THE WHOLE FUCKING TIME.

This ENTIRE PLANET is emotionally run. Thats why the Grimm are such an issue! Makes small note to make Remnant Adeptus Mechanicus cult

Seriously though...

I wont lie though, Hare isnt wrong. Wonder what happened to that Tortuga guy. Tyrian, is my guess. Love how Ren interrupts the moment they almost mention Clovers name.

Expendable, yes. Replacable, no. You should have a talk with squadron leader Grey from Star Wars Squadrons Ren

ANNNNDDD SEMBLANCE EVOLUTION. Or the edibles just kicked in.

This is cool and all but its really fucking dumb and hamfisted. Explain all you want. Mention emotions all you want.

The Aces are fucking huntsmen. HUNTSMEN. FUCKING. SUCK. They always have. Its a dumb idea. Yes, lets stop the hordes of monsters invading this world BY SENDING IN SINGLE OPERATIVES WITH FUCKING MELEE WEAPONS

I’ll make this clear to you, Ren, right here and now. If you faced a REAL elites, you wouldnt have stood a chance. Nor would RWBY. Their bodies would have been three-shot from 20 meters out with a breach and clear and stacked against the wall like cords of wood, one final shot to the dome to make dead sure they were down. None of this stupid flipping and acrobatic crap, none of this clashing weapons and Dust and semblances...no. 

You’d be dead before you knew they were there and they would move on. You’d just be another body to the pile, one more faceless corpse to add to their kill count. A meatgrinder in human form. 

Professionals. Dont. Lose. AND THE ACES ARE NOT PROFESSIONALS!

Because thats not what RWBYs about, never has been.  And that is what annoys me slightly. That and the fact I cant distangle what I know of other universes and our own from RWBY’s. Its hard to hold a universe on its own when everything they make points towards it being like ours, but they change it when they see fit. 

I feel like thats bad writing.

Hehehe. Winter touched Elms boob.

Glad to know that Winters got her priorities right. Course, that bomb probably aint gonna do shit cause its Dust based.

...again, hoping its a chemical weapon...

Wait, the Atlas forces from earlier are STILL FIGHTING? Damn, these Grimm must suck if they couldnt wipe them out in that little time...

Also I cant tell if its getting dark cause of the storm or if its the dawn of the next day.  Or did...they shift time around? I lost track. I SWORE the sun was setting the last time we saw everything.

Also return of the shitty 3D grass...

Marrows gonna defect.

Awww poor Winters got emotions. HEY MAYBE DONT SEND A MENSTRATING WOMAN OUT ON A FIELD OP, ATLAS!

So according to May there’s still front lines. Cool. 

AYYY ITS KLIEN! HES BACK

Oh, I guess hes a doctor too. Oh he MAD.

Ayyy Whitleys being USEFUL for fucking once in his shitty life.

Shes gonna hug him isnt she.

CALLED IT. For fuck sake...whatever. Cute. But whatever.

Oh annnnddd now Grimmquake?

No. It stopped...Bolide?

No. PENNY.

Annnnddd shes leaking coolant. And sparking. And dead.

RIP Penny.

The concept art of the beached whale looks so fucking silly. Seriously, just...detach the whole section there. Drop the fucking thing. 

Oh well.

And thats it for almost two months! Be prepared for me to BULLSHIT MY WAY THROUGH ALL OF IT and continue on with my military fanwank because THATS HOW IM SURVIVING 2020!

[wintermutal]

#hes a manchild. like thats what he is #i WILL bring the receipts out on this 👀 bring out the receipts lad. i wanna indulge in some victor vale snatchery

(spoilers for the book ‘vicious’ by E.W. Schwab ahead, i don’t go over anything from ‘vengeful’ here.)

honestly all the evidence i need to support victor vale being a little whiny manchild with a tiny weenis is during the first quarter of vicious, when Schwab is still setting up characterization for the story and goes out of her way to describe the absolute galaxy brain tantrum victor throws and the INCREDIBLE abusive red flags in his behavior along with it. this is by no means is this a comprehensive list of receipts but i cannot stress like, how uncomfortable this made me when i was first reading the book

you know when you’re in a grocery store and u hear a kid down the aisle start whining a little in a way where u know you gotta yeet out of there before they start wailing like a fucking tornado siren? this is victor’s pre-tantrum warm up here. look at this absolutely galaxy brain little manlet. “adrenaline was HIS research topic” i love it when authors write 3 year old protagonists. but okay, whatever, everybody gets jealous sometimes, surely that isn’t a true indicator of victor vale teetering on the brink of a mommy-give-me-tendies style tiny weenis man breakdown. let us continue documenting this absolute specimen as the story progresses

here’s eli being like ‘wow its wild that this god i believe in brought me back from the dead’ but no. little weenis man isn’t happy with that. little weenis man wants to make sure eli has the record straight. it was LITTLE WEENIS MAN who brought him back from the dead, NOT god. how DARE eli worship something when eli SHOULD be worshipping WEENIS MAN SUPREME for his SUPREME WEENIS shown by following the instructions of eli, who is a medical student, when eli dies, including using the equipment eli secured from his medical job, because victor vale’s absolute GALAXY BRAIN single handedly RAISED THE DEAD and there IS NO SUCH THING AS GOD. thats right buddy pal dont get fucking confused. tendie man wants to play god and by fuck is he gonna throw a tantrum until he gets the attention he deserves

here we have him right after his friend gets superpowers but HE doesn’t get ANY superpowers and OBVIOUSLY that isn’t fair, the little weenis man DESERVES more than this. he COULD be happy for his friend for doing something he worked hard for but no. tiny weenis man wants his tendies and hes about to fucking tell the world. little weenis man has a plan. 

thats right. tendie man is going to get his fucking superpowers because eli didn’t even try THAT HARD for them while clearly little tendie man deserves them more. sure eli’s worked hard for this but victor doesn’t care. sure victor has no idea about eli’s past and all he’s been through, but it doesnt matter bc little tendie man wants to be Big Special. the toddler is stripping off their pants in the produce section and hes about to go hog wild

here is this absolute manlet deciding that if ELI wont help him get big special powers then hell just find somebody ELSE to do it bc ELI wasnt that special anyway. obviously this is worth roping in an innocent bystander. ‘you see, angie, if YOU dont help me, theres no telling what i would do to myself. if i do something wild and YOU turned me down helping me than it’s YOUR fault that i died so you better help me fucking kill myself’. this is abuse. like this is straight up manipulative, abusive behavior and we can see that this isn���t an isolated incident, this is a pattern of behavior because he’s a little manlet weenis man who wants his FUCKING tendies. 

this is honestly disgusting. like idk if anybody else felt like this while reading this part but like. wow. this freaked me the fuck out. this was one of the most disturbing parts of the book for me, like, this set of scenes where victor has roped angie into this and is faking being in pain and shit so he can get special manlet powers. this is awful. this is like, secret-history-level gut wrenching awfulness. 

so, the tantrum has come to this. here we have this absolute specimen. hes manipulated this innocent person, who by the way is eli’s girlfriend, into this horrible situation because hes a little manlet man throwing a tantrum about how his friend got superpowers and HE didn’t. look at how happy this little bitch is. he sees absolutely nothing wrong with this because the little manlet man is getting his fucking tendies and that’s all that matters. 

angie is dead and victor vale is so fucking tortured. surely it is a curse to be so GALAXY BRAIN and RATIONAL at a time like this but SADLY, the little tendie man must hike up his pants and make a run for the automatic doors at the front of the grocery store. sure he manipulated and killed his best friend’s girlfriend, an innocent person to this entire situation, but like who cares about that, you know? 

say what you will about eli ever but he absolutely hits the nail on the head saying ‘she was a person, not a thing, and you murdered her’. and what is the little beenis man’s response? ‘oh, well, it’s YOUR fault for not helping me tho. like if YOU would have helped me i would have never been FORCED to kill your girlfriend, and also you called the cops on me when you heard i killed your girlfriend and I could have called the cops on you, you fucking traitor, how could you do this to me? i, the little weenis man, am the victim and you hurt my feelings’. what an absolute specimen. what an absolute galaxy brain manlet. victor vale’s dick is the size of a hot wheels toy car

anyway like. he keeps doing this shit. like through the entire two books. like ‘aw he ends up caring for sydney’ yeah he fucking cared about eli and angie too but had no fucking problems with nerfing either of them when they stood in the way of his little manlet goals. hell, like, remember when he brought sydney to an abandoned building to revive a dude so he could murder him again in front of her? 

honestly i swear to god mitch is a goddamn blessing who sees little tendie man for who he really is. like. lets not forget this scene either

mitch fucking gets it. no, eli isn’t a saint. yes, victor isn’t always 100% cartoonishly a villian, and actually rarely is (that’s like….a major theme of this series to begin with, i.e. moral greyness). but victor is fucking dangerous because he doesn’t care. he’s a narcissist. hes a little tendie boy. victor vale WILL throw a tantrum that WILL include taking out anyone he gives a shit about for his own goals and mitch fucking knows it. 

sydney is totally buying into it because of the shit victor pulls acting like he’s helping her, while meanwhile her situation is just really fucking convenient for victor’s own motives. sydney is easy for him to manipulate so long as victor stays on eli’s tail, and mitch desperately wants her to know that as much as he cares about her and wants her to be safe (because mitch is the only fucking stable person in this story i swear to god) victor is not safe, and if victor tries to pull shit on her she shouldn’t be afraid to bite back. but sydney is literally a tween, and thinks victor is super cool doing this shit for her, and mitch knows that there’s not really an easy way he can really explain the nuances of who victor vale is and how he operates to her, so he settles on wishing she would just be a little bit afraid of him, because as we know from eli and angie, trusting victor without thinking is pretty fucking dangerous. it’s heartbreaking, tbh. 

anyway tl;dr victor vale is a little whiny tendie manchild who will throw a tantrum and does not care who he takes down in the process

#this is. long #long post #books #this is just me going off lmao im sorry #asks #vandal.txt #v1als #vicious #victor vale #fuck yeah im putting this in the tag

You & Me - Part Two

2645 words

August 2017

Getting up at 6am was definitely not a perk of the job. When your alarm rang, you snoozed it twice before finally pulling yourself out of bed and taking a shower.

Even though it was a warm August morning, you dressed yourself in black skinny jeans and a fitted black t-shirt. No room for glamour when you're lugging equipment around. 

You quickly made yourself a coffee to go in your travel mug before leaving a note for Bex reminding her to get milk on her way home tonight. Bex had a comfortable 9-5 job. You however, had no clue when you would be back and didn't fancy waking up to no milk tomorrow. 

Arriving at the studio for rehearsals you saw your boss Martin getting out of his car.

"Morning Martin."

"Morning Cal, enjoy your time off?"

"I did thank you, went to Portugal with Bex. How about you?"

"Joan had me decorating the lounge!"

You laughed at his facial expression, clearly he had been hoping to relax a bit before the tour when it would all get crazy.

"Don't worry Martin, we will go slowly for you today!" You replied patting his back.

Walking into the studio, you saw all the equipment had been loaded into the far corner. Martin, yourself and the team had done a few set ups already so got to work making sure everything was in place before Niall and the band arrived.

John, one of the guitarists, was first to arrive, greeting everyone with a hand shake or hug and placing a massive box of pastries on the table.

 "Gotta keep the workers happy!" He smiled and he gave you a hug.

 "Thanks Bird!"

 The rest of the lads arrived and you knew when Tara did that Niall wasn't too far behind. He was dressed casual like everyone else, dark jeans and a t-shirt, his soft brown hair messy and sticking up.

He shook hands with all the team, hugging you like he hadn't seen you in ages when in reality you saw him just a few days ago. You attempted to sort out his hair as you moved away from his embrace. 

 "Honestly Niall, your hair has a mind of its own."

 He chuckled at your words and was secretly enjoying feeling your fingers running through them. You weren't to know that was one of his favourite things. He loves nothing more than a woman running their fingers through his hair.

 "I know, I'm going to get it cut this week in preparation for being away so long."

 "Yeah you need to, Sienree won't be pleased with this mess!"

 "Hey, it's not that bad!"

 "Yeah it is!"

 "Bully!"

 "Whatever!"

 "Cal, you really need to get some better come back than 'whatever'!"

 "Why? It worked didn't it?!" You replied as you walked away to carry on setting up his guitars. He watched you walk away, looking at your bum for longer than appropriate. Glancing around he noticed that no one has seen what he'd done.

You'd heard some of his album already from when you'd been doing some events in the U.S. this spring/summer. However this would be the first time that you'd heard them all.

Putting your banter aside, you sat down with him, tuning each guitar and working out what order you were going to need to get each instrument ready for, having now received the set list. 

The next couple of days were spent rehearsing, assisting Niall in any way that he needed. The album sounded amazing and you could see that he had worked hard on it. The true magnitude of the tour was laid out in front of you in one morning meeting. The full plan for travelling with him, the band, the whole background team and the equipment had been sorted down to the final detail. Martin had asked you to double check some details for him but there was something you were unsure about with one of Nialls guitars.

Most of the team had dispersed for lunch, heading out or sitting in the food area, Niall was nowhere to be seen. Thinking that he was probably still in the lounge answering his emails you made your way down the hall. Not bothering to knock you opened the door to find Niall standing with his hands on his hips with a very pissed off looking Saskia.

"Shit, sorry Ni! I didn't realise you had company." You mumbled, completely shocked to see Saskia stood there.

"Is it because of her?!" Saskia almost screamed at him.

"For fuck sake Saskia. No it isn't!"

Because of me? Ok, you definitely needed to make a quick exit.

"I'll catch up with you later Ni." You said and retreated quickly, closing the door behind you.

You hurried down the hall to the main rehearsal area, and began sorting through some paperwork. Doing anything to try and keep yourself busy and hidden away. It was then that you found out the answer to your question, you hadn't even needed to go ask Niall the question. You just hadn't looked at the paperwork correctly. If you'd just looked properly you wouldn't have interrupted him in that totally embarrassing situation. You were completely mortified that you'd walked in on him clearly arguing with Saskia. What was she even doing here? You let out a massive sigh as you leaned against the wall, closing your eyes and trying to forget the look on her face.

"Hey." You heard him say, opening your eyes to find him looking sheepish.

"Ni, I'm so sorry, I should've knocked. I had no idea she was here."

"Cal, its fine. I'm sorry that once again she was rude to you."

 "It's honestly fine."

"Its not, and I told her so."

You nodded nervously, biting down on your lower lip, your eyes looking anywhere but at him. But then you heard him sigh in a sad and exhausted way.

"Are you ok?" You ask him, your eyes meeting his and seeing the sadness and frustration behind them.

"Yeah I suppose." He replied, it being clear he wasnt. You'd spent a lot of time with him the last ten months and knew when he was lying or bending the truth.

"Well if you need someone to talk to, I'm always here." You said sincerely.

It clearly hadn't been a good conversation that you'd walked in on.

"Thanks, I appreciate it." He replied as you turned towards the paperwork.

"Um so anyway, I was just going to ask you about your guitar choice for You and Me but I found my answer when I went back over the paperwork again."

"Ah ok, so it's sorted?" He asked.

"Yeah it is. I'm sorry I should have been more thorough when I looked the first time."

"Doesn't matter."

God you were so embarrassed by what you'd walked in on and Niall did not seem ok. There was a lingering tension in the air, so you began unnecessarily stacking up your paperwork.

"Are you busy tonight?" he asked you nervously.

"Apart from my usual Friday night fun of browsing Netflix and eating my weight in ice cream - nothing!" You said, turning around to face him.

"Well Willie is out with Bex tonight so do you fancy coming over and browsing my Netflix with me?"

You burst out laughing, a massive smile appearing on both your lips as you realised how that had sounded. The tension suddenly eased and you were back to your usual banter.

"Ok, that sounded like a really bad chat up line! I'm sorry! What I meant is, I could really use a friend to talk to if you're free and want to hang out at mine tonight?"

"Yeah sure, as long as we aren't here too late tonight, that should be ok." 

"I'll make sure we leave at a decent time tonight, maybe grab some food and go straight to mine?"

"Sounds good. Bex took the car this morning so is it ok if I ride with you?"

"Yes of course, I presumed you would. I saw your car wasn't in the car park this morning."

"Bex wanted to get home from work quickly today so she could prepare for her date!"

"So pleased we set those two up!"

"Me to!"

Everyone slowly made their way back to the main rehearsal area after lunch. They were rehearsing a song called You & Me when Tara approached you as you stood by Nialls guitars.

"So....." She started in a low voice so no one could hear her.

"So what?" You replied, confused as to what she might be referring to.

"Heard you had a run in with Saskia earlier."

"Oh god, yes. Was so awkward, I didn't knock and just walked in on them. Saskia was not happy."

"I've walked in on worse things with Niall!" She replied laughing.

"I don't want to know!" You said waving your hand and laughing to indicate you didn't want to hear the story.

She laughed to.

"Saskia doesnt like me either. Thinks every female who works with Niall is a threat." Tara whispered.

"Really?! She does know she's a Victoria Secret model doesn't she?!"

"Yes, but a very insecure one. Might help if she actually ate and drank regularly, think it effects her personality. She's so tired and overworked from her fitness regime too. It just makes her grumpy and rude."

You nodded in agreement, knowing how you feel when you're hungry or tired from the gym.

"Look, don't say I said anything to Niall, although I see him looking so I guess he knows what we are probably discussing."

"I won't say anything, sad really though isn't it? I mean he's pictured with females all the time in the press and gets hounded about it and even his own girlfriend hassles him about it."

"She was never his girlfriend, just someone he hangs out with, dates, looks good for both of them. The last few months though he's just not been happy when he's been with her."

"She seems like hard work."

"Yes she is. Look, I know you two are hanging out later so I thought I'd just give you the heads up."

"He said he needed a friend." You replied, hoping she understood that was what it was.

"Don't need to explain to me, it's obvious you both get on well. He trusts you."

You nodded in agreement and left it at that.

6pm arrived and Niall called time on rehearsal. Even though the distraction of Saskia had disrupted it for a while, you'd actually achieved loads today.

Once you were sorted, you checked with Martin if you needed to do anything else before heading out with Niall. A few of the team looked but no one said anything, they knew you were just friends.

Sliding into Niall's Audi, you fastened your seatbelt while he fiddled with the music. The intro of Gavin James' song 'coming home' came flowing out of the speakers.

"I cannot wait to meet him on tour." You said excitedly.

"You like him do you?!"

"Absolutely love him!"

You both hummed away to the music, Niall tapping his hands on the wheel as you made your way across the city. You'd placed an order at Nialls local Chinese takeout place that wasn't far from his, just before you left.

"I'll go grab the food." He said as he pulled up outside the restaurant. 

"Ok, sure."

He got out the car but ducked his head back in. "Shall I get us some wine from the shop next door to?"

"I can do that." You replied undoing your seat belt.

"Its fine, I'll go. What do you prefer?"

"Um white please."

"Cool, won't be long." He said as he closed the car door.

You knew it was best to stay in the car. Being spotted buying takeout and wine with Niall wouldn't be the best idea.

He returned ten minutes later with both. Your stomach was rumbling as he drove the short distance to his. The smell of the food was delicious.

Walking into Niall's apartment he began walking around and switching on some lights.

"Wow! This apartment is gorgeous!" You blurted out. "Very manly!"

"Manly?!"

"Yeah, you know masculine colours. You can tell guys live here!"

"I'm not sure if that's a compliment or not!" He laughed, as he got out some plates.

He grabbed some glasses and poured you some wine, before placing the bottle and another one into the fridge.

"Take a seat." He said gesturing towards his dining table. He grabbed his phone and put Gavin James back on so that is sounded throughout apartment on the sound system.

Opening all the boxes of food, you began sharing it amongst you both. "So rehearsals are going well." You said, hoping to start a light conversation with him. You weren't sure if he was planning on opening up to you about Saskia but you hoped he felt he could.

"Yeah they are. It's exciting to see my songs being sung by the lads. Bit nervous about Dublin though. First date and everything."

"Are your family coming down?"

"Yep, loads of them!"

"You'll be fine! Stop worrying!"

You continued to eat and drink your wine, chatting easily about tour and then what you thought Willie and Bex were getting up to.

"You know I am really sorry about Saskia today." He said, the wine clearly loosening him up.

"Ni, honestly I get it."

"The whole thing with her is just a mess." He continued.

"You want to talk about it? I mean its ok if you dont. But I'll listen if you need me to."

"If I'm honest I'm not really sure what I was doing with her. Just one bad dating experience after another."

"Babe, we've all been there!" You laughed trying to lighten the mood.

"What was it that you didn't like about her?"  He asked you.

"Um.......doesn't matter what I thought of her Ni." You replied shocked that he would ask you outright.

"It matters to me. And I know you'll give me an honest answer."

He stared at you for a few seconds as you finished your food and took a long sip of your wine 

"Well......um..... just a clash of personalities I suppose. I got the impression she didn't like me and kind of looked down at me. It seemed like she thought she was better than me because she was beautiful, skinny and famous and I'm not. I don't actually want to be famous, I'm quite happy being in the background looking after you."

He nodded. "I like that you look after me, you always have my best interest at heart."

"That's my job as your guitar tech and your friend."

He nodded again, clearly taking in everything you had said.

"I know you've got more to say Cal. I can tell, I know you well enough to know when you're holding back." He said, leaning back in his chair with his drink in his hand.

You smiled and shook your head.

"No-one else been honest with you then?!"

"Not really! They tell me what they think I want to hear. The only one who's honest is Willie and he has a theory about everything."

"What theory is that then?!" You asked him, intrigued by what Willie thought of the Saskia situation.

"Can't tell you that." He replied shaking his head.

"Now I'm super intrigued! Just have to get you drunk and make you confess Willie's wild theory!" You said as you stood up and grabbed the bottle of wine and filled up his glass with a smirk.

stakeout-hikaru aihara x reader

wazZa im back and not going away :D but ok so IMP NOTE PLS READ: i actually had this fic written out for a while, but i didnt know how to do the whole "read more/ keep reading" thingy thru my phone, and i searched it up a lot, and imma test it out here, so im sorry if it doesnt work and y'all have to scroll :(

.

"But why am I coming with?!" You whined while Hikaru dragged you out of the hotel, to spy one of Soryu's rival's subordinates.

"Because I need my entertainment with me. Plus lord knows what you might do if I'm not there babysitting you."

"That was rude. And shut up about babysitting me, I'm the one that needs to keep their eyes on you since you're always messing shit up." You grumbled.

The entire ride towards the rented apartment you tried to zone out your boyfriend's constant snickering about him "babysitting" you, key word: tried.

"Well, we're here." He sighed after killing the engine. You looked over your surroundings through the windshield, arms crossed. "This looks pretty shady." You muttered, unlocking your seat belt.

"You don't have to worry about that."

 It may have been a casual statement, but it did put your heart at ease. You both got out of the car, and while walking towards the building your hands naturally molded into each other.

"I still don't get why we're even here. Doesn't Soryu have like, i don't know, his own men that can do this?"

You asked him while he clicked the room's elevator number. The doors opened, and the two of you let out a disgusted shudder at the condition of it. "Yes, he does, but the thing is, dingus, that his enemy or whatever has already seen most of the dragons, plus I already had a favour to return." He explained, trying not to gag at the pungent smell inside.

The doors closed, and the elevator started to move up with a jerk. It shook as it moved up and instinctively moved closer to Hikaru and clutched onto his arm. "Babe calm down you're not gonna die or anything." His words would have reassured you, but since he'd pinched his nose with his hand his voice came out all funny and you couldn't help but crack up.

"Nice, I try to calm your jumpy nerves and you laugh at m-".Before he could finish the lift jerked yet again, but this time to a stop. 

"That was fast."

We begin towards the door in front of us, and keep walking till we get to ours. He opens the door, and you were actually pretty surprised at how decent it was, compared to the condition of the lift. Hikaru spreads his arms out and dramatically sighs, "Ah, home sweet home."

"Geez, can you ever shutup?"

You roll your eyes and wander around the room, while he sets up his equipment by the window.

You make you way to the kitchen, and curiously swipe a finger across the counter, and immediately regret your decision when you find a thick, dark layer of dirt on it. You try to get it off before your dust allergy gets to you, but sadly, it was a failed attempt.

You cover your face with your arm and blindly run out, trying to avoid your health from deteriorating and slammed right into Hikaru's body. His hands grip your upper arms to prevent you from stumbling, moving the hand that was hiding your face. You look up at him, with droopy eyes, mouth open and nose red from sneezing so much.

"Oh man why'd you have to be so nosy, Rudolph?" He snickers, and starts chuckling after realising he made a pun.

You sneezed again, and snot went flying everywhere because he'd held your arms and you could swear you'd never seen him look this disgusted at anything. Not even the elevator.

"Pfft, I'm not even gonna say sorry. You brought this on yourself sir."

He ran to the washroom to clean himself up, and you made yourself comfortable on the windowsill. Your eyes went to his equipment and you instantly ran to it. After going through most of it, you grabbed at his binoculars, and the first thing you see, was Hikaru's enlarged face right in front of you.

You let out a gasp and threw the binoculars back on the table, while he sank in laughter.

"It wasn't even that funny shut up." You went back to the windowsill and pouted. Hikaru was just about to say something when you both noticed the lights turn on in the other building. "That's our man." Hikaru whispered and sat next to you. You placed both hands on the windowsill, and peered out. He put his right hand next to yours, and his left hand went around you and placed itself on yours. Then he pressed his chest into your back. You leaned into him and let out a deep sigh as his scent engulfed you, and calmed your nerves. His hands suddenly moved from the window and wrapped around your waist, pulling you into his lap. "Hikaru, you gotta work." You whispered, and his face nested on your shoulder. "I can work from here."

A few blissful moments later though, you got up and bedgrudgingly went back to the kitchen to make two hot chocolates and sandwiches. While the milk warmed up, you peeked out to see Hikaru typing furiously on his laptop. Smiling, you prepared two simple grilled cheese sandwiches and went back to him. You gave him one and started to eat the other, after you seated himself on his lap. A hand held you while one of his legs shifted, and then went back to typing. You looked at the screen, trying to understand something, anything, but that did not work out and you just ended up with a headache. You got up, and went back to the kitchen for your hot chocolates, and turned the stove off. You put the milk into two cups and mixed melted chocolate into it. Taking a sip, you went back to your beloved boyfriend, who still hadn't touched his sandwich. Rolling your eyes, you straddled him, blocking his view of the laptop. "____, I was working!" You shushed him and handed him a cup.

"Health first, work later."

After you drank the hot chocolates, the two of you walked over to kitchen to clean the utensils.

"Scooch over, you keep bumping into me." Hikaru  whines, while knocking your hips with his. Without thinking, you sprayed him with water, and soon a full blown water fight had begun.

Hikaru was just about to throw a soapy water soaked sponge on you until you screamed and threw yourself at him.

"Wait, shit. What about the guy we were supposed to watch over?"

"Ah, I'm pretty sure Soryu can take care of it." He shrugged and then twisted two sides of the sponge, right over your head.

This was going to be a long night.

hi ein!! 🤩 i'll be giving you a vision & a weapon that i think fits you 😤😤😤

Vision(s): Pyro/Anemo/Hydro

Pyro — because you're not afraid to say what's on your mind; is bright and loud; high energy that can be felt even through words; not only brightens own mood but also cheers the others up; very fun & supportive

Anemo — because you're not tied to anything or you choose to let your heart answer where should you go and what you should do; carefree nature; a very open person; can adjust the way you interact based on who it is/what the situation calls for;

Hydro — because even with great confidence, you do have a lot of doubts and worries; aspires to be better in the field of writing, and desires to see it the same way others do; is soothing;

Weapon(s): Catalyst for long-ranged/Polearm for melee

Catalyst — this doesn't really require tiresome training to master it (what i think), you can keep a great distance and escape death a lil more easier by wielding a catalyst. You could just throw some attacks if you're in danger and you'll still be able to run with enough distance. With catalyst, you could still be flexible enough in the battlefield where you could form additional weapons in the air with the help of your vision.

Polearm — this is excellent for keeping a great amount of distance + this is one of the weapon types in genshin where the wielders of it are hot warm bc of the unique normal attack style. The attacks are also fast + unlike claymore, it is lighter and easy to swing around.

Bonus!! :

For nation, i get some Inazuma vibe from you 👀

My thoughts on either your burst or skill is that one of it will be a nuke type of skill.

For the passive, either it will be like Ei's (discount of 50% when ascending sword/polearm) because you know how it feels like to go broke; a chance to double atk% based foods when equipped (like xiangling); get a suspicious dish when equipped (like hu tao & ayato);

My mind is literally blank 😩😩 i wanna know your thoughts abt this 🤩🤩🤩 im also curious what vision/weapon would you give me and why👀

— 🍰.

oh wow 👀 three visions?? fatui harbingers who??😼😼😼 they only have two and one is delusion but mine is a real vision and lemme tell you THREE(3) given by the almighty strawberry shortcake 🙏🙏🙏

ooh the pyro one👀 watch me befriend every pyro users except diluc bc hes gonna be my lover😽😽😼😼 /j

ngl the first thought that came into my mind when u said anemo is 'i have a dead friend', i couldn't help it bc ppl always say that😭😭

why you gotta be straight forward in hydro😾😾😾

if i will choose between catalyst and polearm, my choice would be the catalyst ofc😻 u convinced me with the "doesnt require tiresome training" bc that's what im looking for😻 i hate moving around and i get tired easily so😾😾
