Vampire Boyfriends (Main Trio)
This is a revamp (ha) to a previous post I made, if y'all wanna use it for fanfic then be my guest! (this is based on a No Quirk/Modern Fantasy AU of mine, so keep in mind that this is all fanfic/headcanon - if y'all want my fanfics for these, go to my Quotev!)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tumblr media
[ Izuku Midoriya ]
Dhampir (Vampire/Human)
Blasian (Black/Japanese)
Had an 'incident' where he bit someone by accident (Katsuki), so him and Inko moved to America (Japan has much stricter laws against Vampires and he would've been executed for simply biting someone).
Was not bullied by Katsuki during his middle school years, and was/is homeschooled so he is a bit sheltered and isn't a 'weakling' (he will openly show anger and frustration like in the later seasons of the canon and he's not afraid to throw a punch/kick).
He is tall for his age, and has some muscle to him (most assume he is just 'big boned'/fat until he takes his shirt off).
He can eat normal food (he's a vegetarian because cooked meat smells/tastes 'gross' to him), but still needs blood in his diet so he knows how to hunt (only things like birds and rabbits - his mom uses the meat in her cooking).
Though he has only bitten ONE person (Katsuki), he still has the urge to drink human blood despite how hard he tries to avoid doing so.
If he sees his loved ones hurt or in danger, his more protective/possessive side comes out and he will not hesitate to beat the shit out of anyone who's in his way.
Thankfully, his English is pretty good but his accent is still noticeable (and gets worse when he's flustered or upset/angry - he may start just speaking in Japanese if he's really flustered or just that pissed off).
Like all vampires, he is bi (though he still has a hard time accepting it because Japanese culture isn't really open about LGBT+ subjects/topics - Izuku will be very ignorant about it at the start, but he'll learn about it and adapt quickly enough to not mess up at often anymore).
Tumblr media
[ Katsuki Bakugou ]
Turned (once human, became a vampire)
He was once a regular human, but was bitten by Shoto (this is basically the 'Sludge Villain' incident - Izuku was already in America during this so it got messy real quick).
After he was turned, he had to move to America to avoid persecution by the Japanese government (he does not live with his parents as they stayed in Japan - he was transferred to a Vampire Rehabilitation Facility alongside Shoto).
Pretty much the same as in canon, but his personality is more like the later seasons (a lot more quiet and soft - him turning into a vampire caused him to self reflect, though he still has that temper and is 'aggressively kind' now).
He will push himself to his limits, often not having blood for days/weeks before he snaps and bites someone (says he 'doesn't need it' but he's just being reckless and thinks he can 'overcome' his vampirism).
His English is terrible, just like in the canon (he feels he doesn't need to learn English, even though he's not going back to Japan probably ever again in his life).
He was already gae, but he's a little bitch about it (good way to pester him is to just make gae jokes and watch him get really defensive about it - he is not as accepting about LGBT+ stuff, but he also doesn't give a shit about it either).
Tumblr media
[ Shoto Todoroki ]
Pureblood (born vampire)
His dad (Endeavor) wanted to 'experiment' with vampire blood, so with every child he had he would inject vampire blood into them during development (Shoto is the only one who survived this so he's an only child).
His dad still heavily abused him, 'training' him to overcome his innate vampirism which only led to him attacking someone (he ended up turning Katsuki by accident and both were sent to the Vampire Rehabilitation Facility).
The exact same as in canon, the only difference is he's meaner for a lot longer than in the first couple seasons (basically a grumpy emo boi who still hates dad but he also hates humans too and loves to complain about it all the damn time).
He does not skip on feeding at all, though he hates it because he can only get it from humans (he'd throw up and get sick if he got it from an animal so he has 'donors' who help him - again, he complains about having to do this all the time).
His English is perfect, he naturally knows all languages and speaks them fluently (he has rare moments where he messes up and it is really funny but only happens when he's pissed off).
He is bi, but his hatred for humans stops him from pursuing any relationship so he comes off as AroAce (he doesn't understand human customs or social etiquette so LGBT+ stuff isn't something he really 'gets' but he also isn't outright dismissive of it either).

Gaz being cuddled by his 141 boyfriends for comfort?
The sergeant felt like his heart was breaking. Never in a million years did he think he'd be in this situation before. Where a small mistake nearly cost the entire mission.
He had gone dark on comms upon infiltrating a facility to gain some important intel. Something the captain had clearly told him not to, but being the stubborn person he is, didn't listen. His desperation to get this done and get out safely played a huge reason.
His mind was too preoccupied to notice an enemy closing in on him. If it wasn't for Ghost, who had been on overwatch, he'd be dead. He resumed with the objective, and everything went smoothly after that.
Usually, he'd be one to let it go, but the fact that he disobeyed and got a mild scolding from his captain made him feel extremely shitty. So much so that he walked around with shoulders sagged and began ignoring everyone for the remainder of the week.
That is, until Soap had enough of seeing his precious boy like that and set out a plan. He asked Gaz to meet him in the rec room so they could talk about something concerning him - Gaz has always been a landing ear and shoulder no matter what. And today wasn't any different.
Gaz went and met up with Soap. Ever the sweetheart on putting others before himself. Not knowing that Ghost and Price would be there too.
"What is this?" He had questioned, looking around at his three boyfriends with a confused yet distressed expression.
"I'm sorry, love. But we just wanted to talk to you." The deep and gruff voice of Ghost.
"We know you've been avoidin' us. Couldn't take it." Price added afterward.
"Please talk to us." Soap pleaded next.
Gaz stared at them for a couple of moments in silence before speaking. He told them how he felt. How disappointed he was at himself. That he should've done better. Maybe he's not worthy to be on the team.
That did it. They didn't let him talk any longer. They instead rushed him towards the bed and cuddled him tightly. Soft kisses and words of reassurance were given. No matter what happens, Gaz will always be on the team. He'll always be their precious boy.
It made Gaz cry. And even then, they wiped his tears away and continued to love him.

Some Jane hcs?
Tumblr media
🖤Yes :3 luv her 🖤 (will be going off Jane R, the canon one not Jane A. I love the lesbian representation Jane R is! :) Also some of these are gonna be canon)
Jane was a woman with a normal life
The two suburban parents, normal school life, normal love life
Just normal and happy
Her and Mary met in high school
Mary was a cheerleader and Jane being her best friend at the time watched and supported her
Jane didn’t realize she was a lesbian till she saw Mary with a boyfriend in high school and got extremely jealous and didn’t understand why
And Jane never liked a boy before but she knew she felt something for Mary
When Mary and her boyfriend broke up Jane and her cuddled as Jane comforted her and they shared their first kiss
They stayed together ever since then
Even though it was the 90s/ 2000s when they started dating most people accepted them
Jane’s parents included
They got married as soon as they were able to
Jane’s normal life continued with Mary until her parents were killed by an at the time 19 year old Jeff
Jane was absolutely devastated and wracked with grief
She stayed in bed not moving for months
Some days she just cried and screamed and nothing else
She also got paranoid
What if he tried to hurt Mary next?
How could Jane let that happen?
She couldn’t
So she did research on Jeff like crazy
It was really unhealthy
Also took self defense classes and made Mary take some too
But with all Jane read about this guy, she knew that still wouldn’t be enough
She wanted to avenge her parents, the police were useless in helping
She wanted to protect Mary, Jane can’t bare to loose the love of her life
So what’s the answer to those problems?
Take a risky government observed and produced experimental drug called Liquid Hate of course!
She went into the facility blank faced, telling them they could experiment on her
Inject her with as much as they needed
Make her stronger and she would do anything for them
She was willing to throw away her old life completely for revenge
Jane didn’t care. In her mind any chance she had at a “normal life” died with her parents
She would be too afraid, too full of grief and pain and paranoia to live a normal life and move on
So she would become a weapon to protect the one person that matters to her. Mary.
It’s all she could do
And that’s exactly what happened
Her transformation was slow and painful
Pre transition she had dark hazel eyes and really dark brown hair
Now she has all black eyes and lips, pale skin and black hair
When she was injected with it it’s like all her anger came out full force for 2 minutes and she lost all control of herself
She destroyed everything in the room, lashed out at the scientists, injuring a lot of them
They had to sedate her and strap her down
When she came to, she apologized and is more or less acts like her normal self
She looked in the mirror
Her old life was truly gone
They told Jane all about her new powers which include
Enhanced strength and speed, vocal mimicking, shape shifting, healing, regeneration and regeneration of limbs, drug and alcohol tolerance and almost infinite stamina (this is canon btw)
Jane was now an assassin for the CIA and FBIs Justice Department (also canon)
And she didn’t even tell Mary
Jane went home and Mary screamed until Jane calmed her down
“Mary, it’s me! I-“
“What the fuck did you do?!”
“What I had to do to keep you safe.”
“And that is?!”
Jane explained everything
“What…how…you…”
“I know it’s jarring okay? But it’s still…me. I understand if you can’t love me because I look like this. I understand if you want to go. But just know I truly did do this for you and for myself. I have to protect you and avenge my parents.”
“You are so impulsive and stupid! But you’re still as beautiful as ever. You know I’m never going anywhere.”
They shared a kiss in the kitchen
Jane was so lucky to have Mary
Jane takes out any criminal asked of her and ones not asked of her too
Rapists, serial killers, p3d0s, abusers
Anyone that society doesn’t need
But her ultimate goal is to kill the man that killed her parents
Jeff the killer
She won’t stop until that happens
Jane doesn’t kill or hurt innocent people
She wouldn’t dream of it
Why be like the man she hates?
Jane’s actually really nice despite everything
She can be very sarcastic and snarky too though but can you blame her?
She’s still violent towards criminals though
Like extremely violent
They remind her of Jeff and she calls it “practice” for when she finally gets her hands on him
His death will be slow and painful
Jane has a sister and other surviving family members that she hasn’t seen in a while (how could she even begin to explain her life now)
Jane is 38 years old
Born September 1st 1985
Jane is Wasian (white and Asian, Japanese specifically) but looks more Japanese
She kinda looks like a type of vengeful Japanese spirit called the Onryō and has come to like it
people think she is one sometimes
Especially when she makes weird ass noises to freak out her victims/ mess with them
Jane really relates to Onryō due to the stuff that happened in her life
Her mother would often tell her stories about the Onryō especially around Halloween
Jane finds it ironic that she kinda looks like one with her pale skin, tall stature and long black hair
Especially when she wears white since Onryō are often depicted in white burial kimonos
She especially feels like one when she comes out of the darkness, quietly and slowly as if she’s floating her black eyes looking at her victim through the dark
She specifically relates to some parts of the story of Lady Owia. A man ruining Jane’s life, “killing” her old self and the life she knew, making her a vengeful person and leaving her “disfigured” and looking like an Onryō
Sometimes she still gets upset and will scream and cry at night in the middle of nowhere, making her look and sound like a spirit in pain
Despite the fact she’s still alive she sometimes feels like she died with her parents
Maybe she is just an Onryō in a humans body
She can speak fluent Japanese thanks to her mom
Jane understands Kagekao fully
Both of them being gay Japanese people who have pale skin and are good fighters is really coincidental
Kagekao thought Jane was a spirit or something supernatural due to the grief and vengeance coming off her
But to his disappointment she’s just a cool looking human
Jane really doesn’t like him
He’s a serial killer who kills people for shits and giggles like Jeff and she can’t stand that
Jane knows he’s a demon because he told her and Kagekao thought Jane wouldn’t understand him
They both also have voice mimicking powers and they use it against each other all the time
Jane is jealous of his parkour skills though, she wants to get better at it
When Jane is in a violent mood or in a fight black veins will appear all over her body, but it’s most noticeable oh her face and especially on her temples and forehead leading into her eyes as the veins pump and bulge with blood. Very unsettling to look at.
Jane is usually 5’10 but if she wants to look more intimidating in a fight she will make herself taller like 6’3-6’5
Jane is romantic/ trad goth and listens to the music since she was born in the 80s and grew up in the 90s it’s nostalgic for her
Jane wears black everyday because she thinks all other colors look bad on her
She wears white to sleep though
Jane’s eyes are pitch black so you have no idea where she’s looking or what she’s looking at
It’s kinda scary when she looks at you especially if it’s dark
But she’s pretty so it’s okay
Loves Japanese comfort foods and will cook them a lot like really good ramen, mochi ice cream, udon, kastu curry, tempura and hot pot
It reminds her of her mom
Jane’s kinda happy that she has long shiny black hair like her mom now
If you were ever gonna run into a Creepypasta and live, Jane’s definitely your best bet
Likes to shapeshift to look normal to take Mary on dates
Wears black dresses when she’s not fighting but when she is, jeans and a sweater all black of course
Sounds like Amy Lee from Evanescence when she sings
A smooth soothing voice when she talks
Lived with Mary in their home till she got roped in with all the other pastas (but that’s a completely different hc list completely)
Since Jane works for the government she’s rich. Like really rich
So she’s always clean and put together
Can walk in heels like a pro
Jane’s a queen and I love her
Tumblr media
This isn’t proofread I made this at 3 am sorry lol

Spy x Family Episode 27 thoughts!
We start with something very relatable
Tumblr media
I love how the family just lets Bond lie on the couch. He takes up the entire space with how massive he is, and yet they allow him that. I love it.
I pretty much immediately read the respective manga chapter of this after I was done, and I've gotta say, before that I was very confused with what Bond was imagining. I don't think that the anime showed clearly what was going on.
Instead, I actually understood it when I read the manga, which made it pretty clear that he was confused by seeing only black in his vision, and then was trying to come up with ideas why this would happen.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Even as I rewatch the episode, I still think it wasn't made clear in the anime.
I love, however, how Bond could imagine that, for whatever reason, Yor would blindfold him in order to surprise him with something. And the way she would lead him there is adorable XD
Tumblr media
A lot of adorableness in this episode in general, but then you hit right in the drama.
Like any research facility escapee, Bond fears he'll be found by the people who experimented on him and will be immediately executed. But...
Tumblr media
THIS REALLY HAD NO BUSINESS BEING THIS FUNNY. Bond was right there getting traumatized and fearing for his life and I was actually laughing my ass off. The little butt-naked angels! Bond having a halo over his head! The drama of it all! I love it XD
Then I nearly damn cried when he went to look at the family pictures and THE FAMILY THEME PLAYED. MA BOI JUST WANTS A FAMILY 😭😭
Tumblr media
I also love how he imagined Loid saying he lived happily. Bond has indeed found a place that makes him feel loved and safe and happy, and he knows that the family knows that. And the way he imagined Loid tearing up for him and understanding what a positive influence this family was on him is very important; Bond's mind may be simple than his human family's, but maybe exactly because of that he sees past the façades and the lies, and into his humans' souls.
And then he just resorts to the fact that he will die, and wants to go say goodbye 😢
Tumblr media
I just realized that Bond understands Anya can read his mind! And only Anya. I don't know why it took me so long. Perhaps I had understood it but it never registered, lol
Tumblr media
Gremlin Anya my beloved <3
Unless it was a new moon that day, it's amazing how focused Anya was on studying. Here was Bond with a face that practically said "Do the cool thing and read my mind!" and Anya was like "Nope. Homework." I immediately imagined it was a new moon day and she actually couldn't read his mind, but it may be a safe assumption that she's learning to control her power? Idk.
But then Bond sees that Yor will make an absolute horror of a dinner for him.
Tumblr media
How is she so out of it that she doesn't realize the monstrosities she's creating. I love her.
I'm still trying to piece things together, though. There's a clear difference in visual between reality, vision, and Bond's imagination.
Tumblr media
Bond thinks that he'll die by eating Yor's food; it's not a certain future.
This doesn't explain the black in Bond's vision, though. It could be a red herring, idk.
In any case, he takes Anya's words from their first days together very seriously, so he doesn't even attempt to say no to Yor's food.
Tumblr media
And though we know Yor is way too sweet to even shout or give a stern look to someone because they disobeyed or made a mess, it also makes sense for Bond to immediately consider his mistake will be met with violence. He spent a significant amount of time of his adult dog life in the research lab, where the scientists abused him, hurt him and belittled him. Having trouble trusting a new environment is typical abuse victim behaviour. So even though he feels loved and protected there, his trauma can still rear its ugly head whenever disobedience is involved.
And so Bond finds the solution. Help Loid come home earlier from work so that he can cook food for him!
For all his intelligence, Bond's perception of "humans working" is still stuck on the times of when humans first domesticated dogs. He's like "human put spiky rock on wood and then hunt". How does one explain red tape and politics to a dog, either way XD
Tumblr media
This screenshot has everything. Wild savanna background. Loid hunting with a prehistoric spear, all in his fancy suit and WISE pin getup. Heteronormative pigs. Comic sans font. 10/10
Bond runs out of the house and I immediately wondered why Yor didn't immediately run after him, before I remembered that she couldn't leave Anya home alone.
And thus, Bond's adventure in Berlint begins!
Tumblr media
The hot dog vendor called Bond a stray and I'm like wow, stray dogs in Berlint must be in excellent shape if people see a dog with a massive white fur that's clean and smooth and don't immediately assume he lives in a house with two clean freaks.
Tumblr media
Once again, the art style here is clearly showing that this is in Bond's imagination, which is more influenced by his traumatic experience in the lab than his actual experience with the Forgers. I almost felt it was unfair how Yor was portrayed in his imagination!
I felt so sad for him in the bridge! Boy just wanted some food that wouldn't kill him 🥺 and then I laughed my ass off.
Tumblr media
What an absolute unit this dog is!
His adventures continue until he finally catches a whiff of Loid's scent and he's off to help his human!
Tumblr media
And we have a truth serum in the world! That could be an awesome opportunity of a Chekhov's Gun! While in general the spy things happening seem to be rooted in the real world, Endo also takes the James Bond route sometimes and I would really like to see if that stuff actually has an impact in the story later on.
(As usual, I'm anime only, so don't spoil me for later developments in the manga!)
Bond finds his human, relieved he'll be given safe food tonight!
Bond starts leading Twilight down a clear path and I'm very, VERY interested by how Twilight reaches the conclusion that Bond wants revenge on the scientists who abused him.
Tumblr media
And if you ask me, in the manga his expression looks even more sympathetic. Look at that worried brow there.
Tumblr media
At least the anime didn't rob us of blushing Twilight this time *grumble grumble*
Bond doesn't understand one bit of what Twilight is saying, though. He just wants food.
It's classic Forger family misunderstanding and jumping to conclusions, but I feel it says a TON about Twilight's character, not only that he considered Bond would want revenge for how he (and the other dogs!) was abused, but also that he honoured that supposed wish of Bond and didn't try to change his mind. I mean, it also helped him in his mission, but this time "For the MissionTM" wasn't in his mind at all, at least regarding Bond.
I think it's the first time that this happens? That he brushes his "for the mission" aside and focuses on what his family wants - at least, consciously. He's been doing that from day one but I think this is the first time that he does it knowingly. It also helps that he knows Bond would never be able to report him as a spy so he doesn't mind being a little more open with him. Wow. It's amazing in how many ways this family gives this man opportunity to reach back into his emotions and self.
Anyway, yeah. I think it says a lot about how sympathetic Twilight is, how much he values justice and feelings of vindication, and also how he believes that Bond wanted revenge not only for himself, but for his fellow dogs too. And of course, how he then helped him get his supposed "revenge".
I mean, it's one of the few logical conclusions he can make with his limited intel at that moment, but still I find it interesting and very telling that this is the conclusion he settled on.
Again, Bond doesn't understand a word but he settles on a positive borf since that will make Twilight finally move his ass so he can finish early and come back home and cook for him.
BOI HUNGY
Tumblr media
Twilight behind him like "But what about your revenge?!!"
Another small difference between manga and anime, as in the manga Twilight looks actually distressed about getting home late. In the anime he's just... "eh".
Tumblr media
Like, make up your mind guys. Is he more emotional in the anime or no?
I'm using my Sundays in a very productive manner, you see, dunking on overworked and underpayed animators.
Bond has his vision of the staff coming back and Twilight saying he'll be late, and we see angry Yor in, once again, the "imagination" style.
Tumblr media
This is not the real Yor. This is the Yor traumatized Bond makes up.
Maybe, in a way, he doesn't understand that Yor's horrible cooking is 100% unintentional. When we see his flashbacks in episode 15, the people there threw some horrible-looking mush at him to eat and told him to be thankful for it, too. So he probably correlates food of bad quality with bad intentions, so it could be a reason why he imagines Yor being so cruel to him.
Tumblr media
This. Was. Hilarious. I don't know if it's Anya's influence on him, but it was amazing to see him do something that a hardened spy like him would consider childish and yet be so effective in what he wanted to do 😂 Also, boy doesn't even try to hide? T. as in Twilight/Tasogare? How is this man a spy I swear to god
Action! Bond beating the shit out of the bad guys! Loved it!
Tumblr media
Despite the very serious implications of a truth serum being developed and used, we don't get to see Twilight's thoughts about it. Truth serums, if effective, could be detrimental for people like him, especially when fallen into the wrong hands. Of course, simply destroying their samples wouldn't do, as they could simply make more, so he doesn't bother with more than just one vial needed for WISE's analysts. I wonder if we'll get to see more of that in the future.
Bond's vision clears, and he gets to see the real way Yor would react.
Tumblr media
This warmed my heart no joke 🥺
Anya looks very curious in the background, and I wonder if that's her face as she reads into Bond's mind, or if she's curious exactly because it's a new moon and she can't read his mind and is trying to imagine what could have happened. I need to know!!
(I don't. Don't spoil me if it's revealed - though I doubt there's that much more to be revealed about this chapter XD)
Tumblr media
This man really invested in Bond's revenge huh. He just made it up in his mind and then went like "He got his revenge! I'm so happy for him!" Whatever floats your boat, dude.
Speaking of floating boats...
Tumblr media
I don't have that much to say about the second part of the episode, other than a couple parts here and there.
Tumblr media
I'm still not even close to liking Damian but I cannot imagine the kind of emotional abuse this six-year-old must have gone through to hear "do not shame your family" and take it as fucking praise, my GOD. I don't like the kid and I'd be a lousy parent but even I would treat him better than that.
As I've said before, there's a lot of personal trauma that rises to the surface whenever Damian is involved - especially after seeing how some fans tend to completely dismiss how much of a bully he is - and I was actually dreading this part, but it managed to hit some good spots. His friendship with Ewen and Emile still needs work, but the way they purposefully threw away their free day and angered Henderson - who by the way, got their intentions from the first moment and was like are you serious - all because they didn't want Damian to be alone was really heartwarming. If they caught Henderson in a bad day they could easily risk a Tonitrus, and I think that's something Damian will have to appreciate at some point. Maybe not immediately, but he'll get there. What this boy needs is not to be tapped in the back and told "Your trauma justifies bullying the girl you have special feelings for", but to be told he's valued as a person and not for how much he fulfills his father's expectations.
Mr. Green is a SUPER interesting guy!! He's funny and down to earth and sympathetic and he gave this parched anime-only some political commentary finally MY GOD
Tumblr media
DEFECTING TO THE WEST YOU SAY
The fact that defecting has taken a code name speaks to how much of a common yet covert practice it is. The boys immediately fear that they will be sold off to Westalis, same way George Glooman feared that when he thought his dad's company had gone bankrupt. Then they ask why someone would even leave Ostania and Mr. Green is like "Well we have a beautiful night sky!" I don't know if he was being sarcastic, but I absolutely love how we got that insight into how deep nationalistic propaganda runs in Ostania, especially from the point of view of three innocent, very privileged but also sheltered kids.
"Why would someone flee" well for starters there's this thing called surveillance--
The lake was indeed beautiful!
Tumblr media
So beautiful it even touched Damian and not only had him break through his very disciplined upraising and he admitted he is enjoying the sight, he also laughed like the kid he is. I gotta admit this touched me.
Look, as I said, I have a lot of personal feelings and traumatic experience that influence the way I see Damian. I don't hate him and I want him to be better... I just feel really uncomfortable whenever people try to act like his bullying isn't that bad, or is justified, or even isn't bullying at all. And no matter my efforts, seeing fans talk about Damian like that has influenced me negatively to the point where I have to consciously try to not hate him. I understand that all of those fans have read the manga and those developments I see now are years-old news to them by now, but I still feel there's a very big space between what I see and what that part of the fandom sees. I don't need to see an episode where Damian relaxes and gets a little in touch with the kid he still is to understand he deserves better. But I also don't think him doing that undoes the emotional damage he inflicts upon Anya. He can be a bully, and he can be a victim, both at the same time. I'm just saying... if you're someone who will jump to his support whenever you hear takes like mine... maybe take a moment to think if you're putting your feelings over a fictional character over the feelings of a real person who is still carrying scars from having been bullied as a kid.
Yeah, that got a little personal, I'm sorry. But I'm not here to make objective analysis and I'm probably the only anime-only here talking about the story in such depth. I just wanted to make my stance clear, that's all.

I thought I lost you
Hancock x reader (fluff/angst)
Warnings: mentions of blood, guns, violence, and death
———————————————
The sound of gunshots is what woke you. Your husband jumped up and grabbed his gun, ordering his men to get outside. Goodneighbor was under attack.
You had never gotten dressed so quickly in your life. Racing down the stairs with your gun, you quickly shot down the raiders that had been trying to get into the Old State House.
You scooted against the wall and peeked around the corner, you spotted your husband and K.L.E.O fighting with a group of raiders.
While you were figuring out how to get to your husband, you didn’t notice a small group of raiders coming up behind you. They grabbed you, taking your gun. You screamed for your husband as they dragged you away.
Hancock came running, only to be met with a grenade being thrown at him. Luckily he wasn’t injured, just knocked back. When he came to, you were gone and the fighting had stopped.
————
You sat in a bunker, you had no idea how long you’d been down there. It could’ve been hours, days, maybe even weeks.
As the weeks went past, you studied the group that had taken you. There were six of them. After three weeks, you feared the worst that everyone in Goodneighbor was dead and help wasn’t coming.
————
“WEEKS! It’s been WEEKS since she was taken and not one of you has been able to find her!” Hancock screamed. He had searched everywhere, put out a radio message, and even contacted the minutemen. You were gone without a trace.
“Sir,” a guard approached, “I, along with a few others, think it may be time to consider the possibility that she may not be alive, it’s been three weeks, raiders don’t normally keep their captives alive this long.”
Hancock slowly turned and stared at this guard. He could feel his blood boiling. He threw a punch at him, knocking the poor guard out. “She’s alive, I know she is.”
————
You were able to lift a knife off of one of the raiders while he was passed out. Your heart pounded, if any of them woke up, you wouldn’t be able to fight them all off.
The sandman kills went easier than expected, none of them made a sound. You grabbed an old backpack, filling it with supplies, you grabbed a gun with plenty of ammo and opened the door to the building quietly.
Looking around, you tried to see if there were any other raiders around. Only one at the entrance of the facility, it was a tiny bunker, a hideout you guessed. Quickly getting rid of said raider, you tried to figure out where you were. You wandered a bit, coming to a vault, it was hard to see in the dark but the letters read a clear 111. Your eyes widened in realization, you were near Sanctuary.
You started running and ended up tumbling down the hill towards Sanctuary. You got up and ran, finally coming face to face with Preston Garvey. “Y/N Hancock! Where have you been? Your husband put out a radio message to see if anyone had seen you.” You explained how Goodneighbor was attacked, how you had been kidnapped, and snuck your way out of the tiny bunker.
Preston called in a few minutemen who were able to escort you to the front gate of Goodneighbor.
————
Hancock was buying chems from Fred Allen outside of Hotel Rexford when he heard it. “JOHN!” He froze, instantly recognizing the voice that called his name. Dropping his chems, he turned around to see you running from the entrance. He had never run so fast to get to you. Tears streaming down your face, you jumped up into his arms, wrapping your arms and legs around him tightly.
You stayed like that for a while before he asked what happened. He started walking to your home, you explained what happened as he carried you up the stairs.
“I saw blood, and then I had a grenade tossed at me, which knocked me out. When I came to, you were gone and I was scared, I thought I lost you.”
You shed a few tears as you kissed him. He wrapped his arms around you tightly, rubbing your back while you kissed. The next few minutes felt like you were in slow motion. You stared at each other for a while, you yawned, signaling it was time for a nap. You were exhausted and hadn’t slept properly in the last few weeks.
Hancock lifted up the blankets, tucking you both under, he pulled you close until you were resting your head on his chest. “I promise no one will ever take you from me again” he said as he rubbed your back.

cw: smut, minors dni, exhibitionism/public sex, dubcon, reader wearing a dress and heels, repost!
Kunigami has not been the same since the Wild Card.
While he struggled to explain to you exactly what had transpired once he’d left the Blue Lock facility and shown up suddenly on your doorstep, even before he spoke you could tell something was seriously amiss. Hair slightly overgrown and shaggy and an odd look in his eye, he told you he missed you and nothing more. You had many questions, having missed your friend just as much, but Rensuke didn’t allow any more inquiry to the subject than that and it was a short reunion, given you were still high schoolers, your parents were home and as usual they would rather you study than entertain a boy.
The next time you met up with him, some of the gloominess that stuck to him appeared to have disappeared, and your date went smoothly. Kind and considerate to almost a fault but with a little bit more of an edge when he protected you from bullies, he was mostly the same Rensuke you grew up with.
Years later, Kunigami seems to have healed and is back to being quiet but in a way that’s no longer heavy and somber. The relationship between you two is as strong as ever and he remains sweet - 
to an extent.
The darkness is still there somewhat, and it rears its ugly head whenever he loses a match. 
Before the last ten seconds elapse to zero, you’re already making your way down to find him. There’s a corridor in the bowels of the home stadium that is rarely frequented, and perfect for encounters of this nature. In haste, you slip your panties off underneath your dress and over your stilettos, stuffing them into your purse. 
Your Rensuke doesn’t take long to appear, and the wild eyes are back. 
He never used to be a sore loser. 
But now, frustration gnaws at him so easily, and the only way to help is offering up the space between your legs, and you now share an understanding, falling into this routine whenever things don’t turn out the way you or he would like. 
His lips press against yours roughly, and you can taste the salt of his sweat. He’s worked so hard, running up and down the court and every bit of his effort lingers on your tongue. He bites and nips at you roughly, harsh breaths replacing normal speech.
“You did your best,” you murmur softly, and you know he hates your pity in this very moment as he sinks to his knees. He gathers up your dress and sucks at your lower lips quickly swelling with arousal and you whimper; hastily, he grips you by the asscheeks, firmly planting your thighs around his glistening neck. You squirm but he keeps you still, eating as though sucking and swallowing is the only way to pacify him, and your moans intensify.
“‘suke, it’s too much, hold on-”
He tortures you for just a moment longer; you squeeze your arms tighter around his head and your legs close tighter around his neck until eventually he sets you down carefully, a tiny shred of mercy still left in him. Legs wobbly, you lean against his chest, burying your face into his drenched jersey.
“Ren, it’s okay if-”
“Bend over,” he instructs. The impatience and gruffness to his voice reminds you that if you don’t move quickly enough he’ll do it for you and you turn over. Pressed against the wall, he slots himself inside you with a hint of pain, masked by a hard slap on your ass.
“God, you’re always so ready for me,” he hisses into the side of your neck. A bite, and then he begins to thrust, and you revel in the sharp, ferocious, angry thrusts into you - nothing like the soft gentle love he makes at home, but anxious and irritated. Like this, slapping your ass cheeks, growling into your neck, and dragging his cock in and out of you, you’re nothing but a stress ball and willingly so. 
“You’re the only person who fucking understands how pissed i am right now,” he mumbles, nibbling at your neck. It’s true, and you love him, but all you can think of right now is how good he makes you feel, especially when his large hand clasps over the front of your neck and tightens.
“Everyone is so fucking useless except you, I don’t know why I even bother, I can only carry so many of these bastards on my back-”
You nod, knowing the vitriol he spews now, he’ll soon recant. It takes some getting used to, this new mean part of him, but it’s there and it’s a part of him, and when he finally cums and leaves you dripping between your legs, he spins you around and kisses you. 
His eyes have changed, but not all the way.
“Was I too rough this time?” he asks, apologetically. A hand brings yours to his mouth and he kisses the back. 
“No,” you kiss him back. It’s not like it’s never happened as he is a little bit too strong for his own good, but not today. 
“Don’t forget our safe words. I’ll remember them no matter what.”
Another kiss, as you slip your panties back on. 
“i’ll see you after postgame interviews,” he promises. you nod.
It’s a new side of him, but you like it when he’s mean.

Finding a human waking up from cryogenic sleep
Tumblr media
[ PLATONIC HEADCANONS ] [ 9S & 2B ]
[ NieR Automata ]
⚠️ This contain heavy spoilers
Tumblr media
Can you do me a favor and read this while hearing NieR Automata Soundtrack? I recomend City Ruins
Some time ago I read a fic that raised this idea but did not delve into it, and it had been in my mind for a long time so i decided to do it myself!!I loved how it ended so i hope you enjoy it as much as I did!! 🖤
Tumblr media
A long time ago an strange plague scourged humanity and triggered a deadly disease, a big group of humans started the Gestalt Project in hopes to preserve humanity, putting humans soul in another container (that doesn't went too well). A part from the humans didn't completely trusted in the Gestalt Project so those humans started another projects with their lasts hopes, and as the last resource they put the people that wasn't infected yet in cryogenic sleep waiting for a better time where the threat of this disease no longer exist
However, this side project was almost completely forgotten and when the rumors of the humans who had survived were in the moon began to spread the one of the other humans in cryogenic sleep started to spread too, however this humans were taken just as a mere rumor and were leave there since the creators of YoRHa didn't had evidence of this project
It isn't too weird to think that you will be found some day, and that days seem to finally happen thanks to the YoRHa unit 9S, a scanner type that has been wandering around to collect information. Is probably that he is already with 2B, since the two of them had different missions around the land, and suspicious facilities of which they have no registration is something that is necesary to investigate
While they were trying to decipher what is the purpose of all of that they accidentally active the system of one of cryogenic chambers, starting the protocol of reactivation, imediatly getting themselfs on guard, ready to fight in case they need it, watching carefuly as the chamber open slowly only to reveal that inside of it was a human, you
As you slowly start to incorporate, with slow movements and trying to sit down 9S is the first one to react, guarding his sword and quickly going to your side, gently helping you sit down but still unable to say something, 2B doesn't waste more time before approaching to you too but still in shock. Non of them know what to do or what to say, even when the whole purpose of the androids is to protect humans, to fight to bring them a better future they had never actually met a human, an inmense curiosity and still a protective instinct immediatly fills both
If you react by being afraid of them they understand, both immediatly take an step back and quickly introduced themselfs, 9S is the one explaining the situation while 2B just comfirm the information, promising that the last thing they will do is to harm you. In the other hand if you are more comfortable with them or even excited to meet them 9S quickly match you energy, as well they don't waste much time to introduce themselfs but 9S is almost imediatly asking about you (just like an excited child receiving a new toy), while 2B try to calm both not wanting to overwhelm you or go against the protocol if there is even one
Once you are comfortable and ready 9S helps you get out or the cryogenic chamber while 2B contact the commander to ask what to do, however even the commander was surprised, in all the information she has about humans there isn't anything about some being in cryogenic sleep (or at least nothing that was for certain) and yet you could be the only human still alive, the commander can't take any risks when it comes to you, so while she investigate all she can about it and come up with a plan she ordered to both to take care of you and protect you at all cost (she prefers to don't tell anyone about this for now, but at some point she will tell the news to everyone to boost the androids morale)
You will be scorted to the resistence camp and stay there, where Anemone imediatly accept you without ask and give you an own room for you. Everyone will be really curious about you and will want to approach to you but 2B and 9S, along with Anemone, are trying to don't overwhelm you, and, at the end, is Anemone, Devola and Popola who is mostly taking care of you when 2B and 9S aren't around
As well you will be able to meet Pascal and the complete village, but not without making sure you will be comfortable in there before hand (and until 2B and 9S finally trust them, what Pascal completely understand), in the resistence everyone has similar appearance to yours so is little risk for you to freak out, but with Pascal everyone are machines so they first need to make sure you know that and you are comfortable (even so 2B will be paying close attention to everyone)
The only time 2B and 9S leave you alone is when they have a mision and they know that there is the risk to find ostile machines and that you could be in danger, so in those moment they leave you in the resistence. However is more likely that at some point you will want to explore the world too and you will be able to convice them to let you do it, 2B will be hesitant to do so and my even try to ask for permission to the commander while 9S is a little more willing to do it since they will be by your side (and he understand your curiosity), and is better if you just talk to them about your wish than trying to sneak out of the resistance camp because if they came and you aren't there for them will be like the end of the world, wasting no time and imediatly rush out to try to find you (what won't really take them much time), even when they aren't mad at you they are worried sick and will scold you for it
Whenever you go with them is more likely that 9S is the one leading and talking with you because 2B is too worried watching her surroundings, wanting to be ready for anything that could happen, however if you try to talk to her and include her in your little excursion she will start to be more talktive too
As much as they know about their habilities and that they are completely capable of protecting you they can't help but feel anxious whenever you walk for somewhat unstable places or near machines, even the docile ones, also the more adventurous you are the more anxious and protective they are, if you are running and jumping around they try to stop you or at least to follow you as close as they can, every time you trip and fall they tent to overreact a little, even if you didn't hurt yourself
It may seem like they are overreacting but for them is just fair, they are androids, they have backups not only of their bodies but also of their minds and memories, and even with that they try to be careful and don't be impulsive, but you are unique, if something happens to you there is no way to bring you back, they can't put your mind in a backup and continue with their duty, and even if they manage to wake up other humans they won't be you
2B is the more worring and protective over you of the two of them, is just that she knows more than anyone else how important you are and your only existance represent a big hope for her about not having to do the true job she was created for, you give her hopes about not having to do what she hated the most and she wants to cling to that little hope as much as posible
At some point the news of the human that is traveling with the androids reach A2, and as much as she hates YoRHa and don't want to have anything with them in her programation is still the feeling of needing to protect humans, so she probably will try to sneak and meet you without the intervention of them, and since she isn't against you she will try to at least warn you about not trusting in YoRHa before having to go away

Just went through your Phantom Redux tag and I like it so far!
I'm kinda curious about the Fenton family in this concept now. Any major changes from the original you'd like to share?
Yup!
Tumblr media
When MILF meets DILF (Apologies for the awkward Jack design, I am bad at drawing large lads, this design is not final)
A lot of the core of the OG family will remain more or less the same, but like with Jazz slight tweaks need to be made to match the newer dynamics of the story.
Like in the OG series, Jack and Maddie are a couple obsessed with ghosts and ghost-hunting, despite never having found a ghost. I do have slight backstories for them this time, but these are details that would mainly exist in the background and probably won't ever come to the forefront.
For Maddie she had always been interested in ghosts, growing up in the swamps countless myths and stories were told to her and she had numerous encounters that made her adamant that ghosts were real. She studied hard and eventually got into a prestigious college on a scholarship, where she first met Jack and Vlad, and the story from there is the same as in the show.
She is loving, supportive, and fiercely protective of her children, and this in itself fuels her desire to hunt ghosts. From an early age she was taught to fear ghosts and other supernatural entities, and she wants to protect her family from any threats that may arise. However, ironically, it's this obsession with protection that makes her more absent from her kids lives than she probably should be. Even after Danny's accident, she still is obsessed with fighting ghosts, and the fact that tangible ghost threats show up shortly after certainly doesn't help.
She is sensitive to the fact that Danny and Jazz have grown distant, but is assuming that they're just rebelling as teens do. Still, it does kind of hurt the way Jazz doesn't seem to respect her work, and how neither kids seem interested in ghost-hunting, and as the story goes on this tension will only build.
Jack, on the other hand, is from old money, a family of ultra-rich and successful scientists, but like Maddie he developed an intense fascination with ghosts that wouldn't go away no matter what his family tried. He was also friends with Vlad from a very early age, who also came from a wealthy family and shared his interest in ghosts, but knew how to keep it on the down-low. They went to college together, and when Jack made it clear that he wasn't ever giving up on ghosts, the family decided that the best thing to do would just be to give him a massive lump-sum of money on the condition that he change his last name and never bring them up again. This is meant to explain how Jack got into the same fancy college as Maddie and Vlad despite being less competent, why you never see Jack's side of the family, and how the Fenton's are able to afford all of their facilities even before it turns out that ghosts are real. Like I said, though, this will primarily exist in the background, although as you can probably already tell it does also play into Vlad's backstory a bit~
Jack is loud, boisterous, and overwhelmingly positive. He isn't stupid, as many consider him to be, but he is extremely scatterbrained and will often miss the smaller details. He loves his kids and is passionate about sharing his work, but is more understanding of their lack of interest in ghost-hunting given his own break from his family. To him, it's much more important that his kids are around and happy than that they follow in their footsteps, something that he will often help remind Maddie of. He has a slightly better relationship with Jazz because of this, as Jazz sees him as incompetent but well-meaning, but for reasons he doesn't understand Danny is even more distant with him than with Maddie. The reason for this is because while Jack isn't a bad person and is certainly more open-minded than his parents, he is still very old-fashioned, especially when it comes to gender roles and traditional masculinity. On top of this, while both Danny's parents misgender him, being unaware that he is trans, Jack is more likely to use specifically gendered language like "That's my girl", while Maddie tends to use terms like "honey" or "sweetie," which is more gender-neutral.
Jack is somewhat aware of his old-fashioned behavior and will often ask and try to understand his families experiences as woman, but since Danny isn't one, this just further drives a wedge between the two.
As a unit Jack and Maddie are hell-bent on fighting ghosts, not just researching them, and this is the biggest difference between them and Team Phantom. Danny originally also believes that all ghosts are evil, and though he and Tucker invent the thermos to put the ghosts back in the Ghost Zone, this is less out of altruistic reasons and more because Danny simply lacks the ability to destroy ghosts at the beginning of the series. However over time they learn that evil ghosts are a small minority of ghosts, and the majority of them just want to be left alone. Over time Team Phantom will pivot it's approach from fighting ghosts, to understanding them and what their needs are, as even violent ghosts can become docile and even friendly if the right conditions are met. But meanwhile, Maddie and Jack are still hunting ghosts, and thus while at first Danny could at least try to cooperate behind his secret identity, he eventually becomes actively opposed to them, as does Jazz, making life in the Fenton household even more stressful as the story goes on...

SUGA/Agust D, Rosemont, May 5, 2023
Tumblr media
I told my family I met someone on the Internet and I’m gonna fly to Chicago by myself and land there at midnight and get from the airport to the hotel … in the middle of the night. And then the next day, I’m going to meet that person in-person at my hotel even though I’ve never seen them or heard their voice. 😳 It’ll be fine. 🤣🤣
I got myself to Chicago and it was uneventful except that I couldn’t figure out which seat was mine on the plane. Ha ha ha ha ha I accidentally sat in “first class” on the first leg of my flight on one of those small jets. This is “first class”… and y'all paid extra for that?
Tumblr media
Then on my connecting flight we were packed like sardines on a real jet and I accidentally sat one row behind the one where I was supposed to be sitting. I’m a derp.
Tumblr media
The hotel was great but I’ve never heard of a hotel property being shared by two different brands. Granted they’re both owned by the same corporation but still both hotels were housed within the same building. I stayed in the Staybridge Suites and the other half of the hotel was Holiday Inn. “When you get off the elevator go left for Staybridge and right for Holiday Inn.”
Anyway…The facility was brand spanking new and staff was excellent, especially the housekeeping staff, so I highly recommend.
And guess what floor I was on? Yes, 7th floor, room 717.
The hotel was less than a mile from ALLSTATE Arena. It was an easy walk. I could see it from my hotel room window.
Tumblr media
Also, this on the property next to the hotel:
Tumblr media
Paging BTS, where are you? There's 22 acres for sale just for you on Mannheim Road, Rosemont, Illinois.
I also saw the Daechwita car drive by!
Tumblr media
Before we headed over to the arena, we went to a Korean BBQ place. My first experience and it was charcoal barbecue, so there was an actual little fire pit in the middle of our table. We had the usual 5 million side dishes and bulgogi. It was delicious. The Korean owners were very nice and attentive. A group of youngish Korean men came in. They had lanyards on but I couldn’t see what was on them. Could they have been Yoongi's staff?? Maybe! Or just a group of coworkers from nearby…
Tumblr media
Truly the absolute best part of the whole trip was meeting this group of crazy people! Y'all are the best and made this whole trip one of the most awesome memories of my life! I am so thankful and I love you guys! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
We got in line close to 5 o’clock at the entrance that was stated on our tickets. There were at least four entrances, each with lines this long that wound around the parking lot and around the building.
Tumblr media
(they didn’t know I was jmdbjk 🤣)
The doors opened a few minutes before 6:30 and the line moved very very swiftly. The venue was very organized except if you were parking a car… it was a little outta control for them ha ha, ha ha ha ha.
One of the things we had hoped we would be able to do would be snag some freebies from fellow Army’s, and they did not disappoint!
Tumblr media
We did not bother to try to get any concert merch because the lines were ridiculously long and people had been in them since early morning. Some said most items were sold out by the time they reached the booth. I would have wanted a t-shirt and I’m sure those went fast.
Merch booths were also set up inside the venue, and those lines were also long. We just went ahead and found our seats and sat down and waited for the concert to begin.
The venue was a lot smaller than I thought it would be, I think Allstate Arena capacity is about 20,000 for concerts.
Our seats were fantastic. I’m sure those who chose general admission had a great time down there but that’s not for me.
Tumblr media
Yoongi looked amazing even though he was not feeling 100%. He still sounded very good but his voice was a little rough at first.
Tumblr media
No one told me that the flames they used during the performance would give off so much heat! I could feel it even from where I was sitting every time they blasted!
Probably one of my favorite songs during the whole concert was Burn It...
Tumblr media
The audience barked throughout the concert and Yoongi smiled in acknowledgement. We saw only one concert goer wearing a wedding dress, but did not see any marry me Yoongi signs.
More Yoongi pics:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
As you can see, we had matchy-matchy tangerine hat people in front of us. But black seemed to be de rigueur with lots of fishnets on the legs, arms and body, stomper boots and purple hair. Red chopsticks in the hair, cat ears, black kimonos with gold metallic designs, leather pants and skirts and of course a lot of fan made t-shirts and concert merch t-shirts.
As far as the diversity of the crowd there were people of all ages, colors and genders. Male Army were represented well, all ages and ethnicities.
After the concert we hiked up and down Mannheim Road trying to find food, all the hotel restaurants were closed. I think we were also in a post-concert daze. We ended up right back across from the venue at a take-out pizza place called Rosati's. It was the best pizza ever because we were starving and we stood there and ate almost the whole thing straight out of the oven. STRETCHY CHEESE ROCKS!!
I don't think post-concert depression has set in yet. I am still high from the past three days. IT WENT BY SO FAST! My trip home was not as smooth as the one getting to Chicago. My first flight was delayed 2 hours. They changed my gate 5 times. Its a big airport. I got my steps in that day. I was almost late for my connecting flight in Dallas. I had to run to that gate, they were paging me for the last time. They slammed the plane door as soon as I got inside. And then we waited almost another 2 hours to take off because of these storms that arrived to DFW at the same time I did:
Tumblr media
As usual, I wish I had taken MORE pictures and video but I was watching as much as I could with my own eyeballs and it now seems like a dream. It was over too fast. I am satisfied I was finally part of the purple ocean on May 5, 2023 but now I need to see all seven of them which is now #1 on my bucket list. Using all my universe manifesting, wishing, prayers, chakras, astrological readings, tarot cards and kumbaya to make it happen in 2025-2026.

Peko: (Giggles a Bit) Perhaps. (Places her Hands onto Both of her Boyfriend's Shoulders and Gently Massages Them a Bit) But just continue to stay calm and remember who we're doing this for.
Fuyuhiko: (Takes a Deep Breath) Right. This is for Hajime.
Peko: (Happily Nodded) Correct. Stay strong, my dear (Gives Fuyuhiko a Kiss on the Cheek) I believe in you.

'THUD'
The suddenly loud thudding sound was more than enough to cause the Ultimate Princess to shriek in terror while jumping onto Akane's arms, causing her drop the pictures she was holding in her hands.
Akane: (Equally Surprised) What the heck!?
???????: GAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! SPENDID!!!
The ladies and the audience turns to see their Ultimate Manager, Nekomaru Nidia, laying down on a crated ground, laughing wholeheartedly.
Nekomaru: Ahh man! Been a long while since I've felt THIS much adrenaline smacking me so hard across tye face! You weren't kidding when you said weren't gonna hold any punches, huh Gundham?
Gundham: ('Heh') (Walks Over to the Crate he Created) Of course. There's never been a time of day where someone as powerful as I, Gundham Tanaka, has ever hold back from a challenge, much less from someone as fairly formidable as you I suppose.
Nekomaru: (Chuckles Lightly) D'aww thanks, man! You flatter me. (Puts on a Determined Grin on his Face) But don't think for a second I'm throwing in the towel just-
?????: BOYS!
The duo turns to see their respective girlfriends, Sonia and Akane, glaring at the both of them.
Nekomaru: Oh uhhhh....(Chuckles Awkwardly) Heh-Hey there, ladies!
Gundham: (Turns Away While Covering his Mouth Up with the Scarf He's Wearing) I take it you're....('Clears Throat') N-Not too.....Happy with us, aren't you?
Sonia: (Crosses her Arms) There is not a single smile appear on either of our faces now, is there?
Akane: Yeah! How are you guys having yourselves an intense bout in the middle of the beach and not invite ME along for the chaos! Like, come on!
Sonia: (Turns to Akane with a Pout While Making Angry Princess Noises)
Akane: What? You know how pumped I get when it comes to sparring matches. (Raises an Eyebrow at the Boys) You guys WERE having friendly sparring match, right?
Nekomaru: Yeah.
Gundham: Why wouldn't we be?
Akane: (Smiles Brightly) Yep! Friendly Sparring Match.
Sonia: (Softly Facepalms Herself While Sighing)

Naegi: (Speaking on Soda's Tablet) So, in conclusion, with our separate ideas, cooperation, and hardwork intertwine, I believe they would all be more than enough to rebuild a much better version of Hope Peak's Academy than it ever was before. Do we have any questions before we continue?

Hajime: Will you ease up on the poking already!? ('Sighs in Defeat and Understanding') But you're right. We have been through far too many hells and back to get to where we are right now together. And it's high time that we set aside our doubts and continue to build our trust and bond for a brighter future going forward.

Hajime: I know~ I love you too, Ibuki. Thank you for convincing me to do this and for....(Smiles Sheepishly While Rubbing the Back of his Head Back and Forth) Putting up with a workaholic like myself for so long~
Ibuki: (Giggles Softly) Don't worry about it!~ You know Ibuki always got your back. (Continues Kissing Hajime) Ibuki~ ('Mwah') will never. EVER. Leave your side~ Ever!~ ('Mmwah')
Hajime: Likewise. (Eye's Widened a Bit) But wait, what about our band practice? Didn't you say you have new song you've been working on?
Ibuki: Yeah, but we can postpone our Jam Session for today, I don't mind. Now, give me some more loving!~
Hajime: (Chuckles Lightly) Yes, ma'am~
The lovers lay back down on their bed as their relaxing Cuddle Session has now finally begun.

7/9 Early Word Count: 1060
@jegulus-microfic
“James, what the fuck! It’s only 4:30 in the morning!” Regulus groans, shoving his head into his pillow.
“I’m going for a run, I'll be back by the time you wake up again, don’t worry,” James gently whispers
“Yeah but it’s so early, you usually don’t leave till closer to 5 am,” he groans, eyes pressed firmly shut.
“Yes but today is special, I wanted to get out of the house earlier,” He kisses Regulus quickly on the crown of his head and slips out the bedroom door before Regulus can process any of what James just said.
Quite frankly, he’s too tired to bother doing much thinking. So he nestles back into the covers and falls asleep rather quickly.
———
James has been working his ass off trying to organize this surprise for Regulus. Lots of planning and communication had to go into this to make everything absolutely perfect.
You see Regulus has wanted a pet cat for about as long as Regulus knew they existed. Even before James had met Regulus, Sirius would go on long tangents about how badly Regulus wanted a cat. But despite all this he’s never had one of his own.
Walburga didn’t approve of pets. To her Sirius and Regulus were close enough. And then Regulus had college. Working himself to the brink of exhaustion nearly every day to pass all his classes with picture perfect marks.
But with Regulus having just gotten his degree he now has much more time on his hands. Hence it being the perfect time for James and Regulus to start a new chapter of their life; getting a cat together.
James had been researching for a while now, longer than they had even been dating if he’s being honest. But recently he’s been looking more and more for the perfect cat for the two of them.
He knew Regulus would want to adopt a cat. Both of them really weren’t a huge fan of buying one through a breeder. James also knew Regulus wanted an older cat, one that wasn’t as welcome in its former home. One Regulus could relate to a bit more on that matter.
So James has spent almost all of the free time he had apart from Regulus researching cat adoption centers. He had narrowed it down to a local rescue center near where they lived. And he had reached out asking about the cat that had been in the facility’s care the longest.
That’s how he had ended up with a small female calico, 4 years in age. The poor cat had been between several houses, none of it the cat's fault at all.
He had arranged for the cat to be dropped off at 5:30 that evening. He had also decided to hold off on naming it; Regulus would want to do that.
But in preparation for the cat's arrival he has to buy the necessary supplies. He couldn’t have bought them earlier or Regulus would have gotten suspicious. So instead he opted to go out and buy everything after his morning run.
Thankfully there’s a pet store near their home. It’s at the end of the route he takes on his morning runs so it works out pretty well.
It opens at 7 in the morning. So hopefully he can get there after his run and be home at a bit before 8; about the same time as he normally would be.
———
It’s 5:28 now, the woman with the cat should be here shortly.
James had hidden all the cat supplies in his office before he went to go wake Regulus up.
He had gotten a litter box, food and water dishes, a variety of different cat toys, multiple cat beds (he didn’t know which one the beds she would prefer), and a plethora of other things necessary for cat parenting. He had even stood in the cat food aisle for a solid 15 minutes before an employee had helped him out, recommending a few different brands of food.
There’s a knock on the front door causing Regulus to look up from the book he had previously been reading.
“Who’s that?” He questions, shifting over from his spot on the couch to peer toward the general direction of the entrance way.
It takes James an immense amount of self control to contain his own excitement. He struggles profusely not to smile like a little kid on Christmas Day, but that’s what this all feels like to him. He’s very obviously extraordinarily giddy.
James gets up from his spot next to Regulus, shrugging in an attempt to appear nonchalant as he walks over to the door.
Sure enough there's a lady standing on the other side of the threshold. A cat carrier in one hand and a clipboard with paperwork clipped to it in the other.
“Regulus, sweetie,” he calls, “Come here, I have a surprise for you.”
Stepping out from the living rooms moment later, Regulus stops dead in his tracks. A distant look on his face and his skin getting increasingly more pale. For a second James worries that he fucked up immensely.
But all of those concerns are almost instantly dissolved as Regulus runs over to hug him rather suddenly. Burying his face in the crook of James’ neck.
“You got us a cat?” He mumbles
“Yup, I got us a cat. Well more like I got you a cat,” James chuckles.
Regulus looks up to acknowledge the lady and more importantly the cat.
With a smile on her face the lady speaks up, “Alright, so we just need to sign a bit more paperwork and then you guys should be good to go!” She says rather cheerily.
“Okay that sounds great! Come in, Come in!” James responds, ushering her into the house and into the kitchen.
———
The lady had just left and the cat has been let out of its carrier to start exploring its new forever home. Regulus remains seated at the kitchen counter and watches in awe as the cat slink curiously around the living room. Occasionally stopping to look into other rooms.
“So what are you gonna name her?”James asks, breaking the pleasant few moments of silence.
Without hesitation Regulus responds, a warm glow in his eyes, “I think the name Ophelia would suit her, don’t you?”

Dancing (Markiplier x fem!reader)
You and Mark have... a weird history. And it finally comes to a boil at your friends’ bridal party. Lots and LOTS of sexual tension, fluffy ending. (This was really out of my comfort zone and I'm kinda unsure about it but this concept was TAUNTING my brain so I had to write it LMAO)
It’s the night of your friend’s bachelor party. Well, really an entire bridal group party. You’ve known the couple about to get married for years now, and they hated the whole ‘gendered parties thing,’ and they also hated the idea of being left out of any festivities. This entire group of people you knew, were the work hard and play even harder type, and so are you. Successful, living it up in New York, it’s not often you make a trip all the way to Cali. You were putting the final touches on your look, earrings, a reapplication of your lipstick to make sure nothing rubbed off, and you were ready to go. The hotel was nice: a large bed, a nice view, a huge bathroom. After all, you always booked the best. Before you went to put your shoes on, your phone buzzed.
“Mark’s going btw.”
It was the bride-to-be, giving you some information you wish you had hours earlier. You see, you and Mark have a complicated relationship. You’ve vaguely and yet intimately known each other for years, having met at some party one of your friends threw. No one throws you off your game, but Mark gets close. Over the past couple years, you’ve kept in touch, occasionally seeing each other at events and getting a little sloppy on the dance floor, ignoring each other across the room, leaving with other people just to get under each other’s skin, the list goes on and on. Since you live across the country you text and call sometimes, either some SOS in the middle of the night when one of you isn’t doing too hot or pictures of your hookups just to push the envelope a little further. You’re not sure why you hadn’t considered the fact that he would be at this party, as your social groups in California often overlap.
“Okay.”
A simple response despite a complex array of things going on in your mind. Between you two it’s always games, dancing around each other and yet never quite fitting together. You’ve even been in videos a couple times, and the fans get a little rabid. Of course, you’re much more civil out of the nightlife scene, but they still pick up on the tension.
‘So… when are they gonna kiss?’
‘OMFG please have her in more videos.’
‘Maybe they should get a room.’
The comments flood anything you feature in, and you two just ignore them. It adds to the game, having some kind of audience. Funnily enough, the two of you haven’t ever kissed, never done anything more than get a little handsy, and yet it was exhilarating, wondering when you’d see each other again. Perhaps it was a little twisted, but you both were having fun. And yet, since you met, neither of you has had a serious relationship. You two are the only constant in each other’s lives.
You finally stop thinking and leave the hotel room, quickly leaving with a personal driver. In the back of the car, you take out your phone for a quick snap of your look, sending it to Mark shortly after, saying nothing more. You read the ‘seen’ and then put your phone on silent, and quickly place it back in your bag. You’re lucky your friend texted you, because you have an upper hand on the night now. Sure, the night was supposed to be about the couple, but they knew what they were doing by inviting both of you. It was going to be fun to watch, for all parties involved.
After about a thirty-minute drive you arrived. The location was new, and very popular, and they bought it out for the night. The concept was some kind of nightclub/mock bar mix, where they only sold mocktails (with the occasional medicinal addition). Funnily enough, you and Mark had nothing added to your drinks the entire night. Luckily he didn’t have to worry about any alcohol being slipped into something considering the entire facility was dry.
“Oh my god hi y/n! Was your flight alright?”
“It was amazing. And if it wasn’t, you and I both know that wouldn’t slide with me.”
You and the bride laugh, and she leads you into the club. It’s decorated spectacularly, the lights are well-done yet not blinding. Her fiancee comes up soon after, and the three of you talk for a little. You were a little early, mainly because you always like to scope out a scene.
“So, you guys invited him. This part of the party favors?”
“Well, we figured you two will end up stealing the show and that will be entertaining for everyone, us especially, and it is our party after all.”
She wasn’t wrong. After getting yourself something to drink and catching up with a couple other guests, your attention is quickly taken away. He’s arrived, looking nice as usual. You immediately look away, pretending like you didn’t notice. The conversation with one of the party-goers continues as you two talk about how you met the couple. Soon after he walks past you, brushing your arm. He looks back at you, giving you a glance up and down. You meet his eyes, staring at him while you take another sip. Soon after he’s swooped up by the couple, and he reverts back to normal. It was magical to watch. This dance you’ve been dancing for this long, it’s particular, there are rules, there are steps. You and Mark, you’ve always understood each other despite never laying it out for each other. It’s like your brains are synced, your bodies intertwined. The train of thought is interrupted by the couple making an announcement on the stage.
“Hello everyone!”
There’s plenty of cheering in the club. You keep your eyes on him a couple tables ahead of you as he listens to the speech. They go on about love and some sappy shit, and then say that the DJ will start the music soon. It seems selfish. Don’t get me wrong, these are your friends and you do care about them, but as they told you, they knew what they were doing. You turn to the guest you were speaking to, some guy who works at a bank, apparently has good connections to some dealers, and that’s pretty much the only reason he’s invited to all these things.
“You wanna dance?”
He hesitates, thinking about the interaction he just watched between you and Mark, but ultimately decides ‘why not?’
You lead him out to the dance floor, and you’re the first people out there. Mark doesn’t make a move. He’s usually slower to act than you are, which allows him to watch the fun for a while. As you and this bank guy start dancing it goes from friendly to a little less than friendly fast, and you make eye contact with Mark the entire time. At some point, after the dance floor has filled with quite a few more people, he sets his drink down and gives your dance partner a look, cutting in.
“So, we’re doing this tonight huh?”
He spins you, almost in an ironic way, treating you for a moment like some kind of royalty. He pulls you back to him.
“You do know that’s why we’re here right? The bride and groom wanted some free entertainment.”
You jokingly curtsy, giving his hand a kiss. He chuckles.
“Well then, let's give the couple what they want.”
He whispers sharply and leaves a kiss on your neck, going to find his next pawn. Although it seems mean, the two of you have only ever involved willing parties in this game of yours. Mark quickly finds some other woman. Instead of giving him the attention he so clearly wants, you find someone as well, having as much fun as you can while scheming your next move. For the next hour or so you work on making each other as jealous as possible, and boy does it work. Things proceed to get nastier with each person you bring to the dance floor, even some unspeakable things. At some point you look at Mark again, his brow slightly furrowed. You’re getting to him, and you decide to top off the glass.
“Follow me.”
You and your current stranger head to the bathroom. When you lock the door, he tries to kiss you.
“Woah, uh, no. This is just you doing me a favor. I need us to wait in here for a little bit.”
“But… why would you ask me to come in here if we’re just gonna stand here.”
“Because you’re doing me a favor, and if you do this for me I just might do a favor for you.”
You wink at him, and the two of you spend at least twenty minutes until you emerge, messing up your hair a little before you go back out to the floor. You blow him a kiss and return back to your table, getting another drink.
“That was quick. Not even trying to be subtle tonight?”
Mark comes up behind you, wrapping his arms around your waist. You take another sip.
“Whatever could you be talking about?”
You turn, looking up at him and batting your eyes. He scoffs, and soon enough the couple come back to the floor to announce a group activity.
“So, I have a basket of everyone’s names here, and whichever two I pull together are going to do a duet dance for all of us. So, if you haven’t been out here yet tonight you better get ready.”
You and Mark don’t move, sitting in the comfort for a little bit. He gives you the occasional kiss on your neck or behind your ear as they read off names.
“Mark and y/n! Now isn’t that gonna be fun?”
The bride-to-be laughs and a couple others in the crowd join in.
“She set that up.”
He places another kiss gently.
“I know.”
Eventually all the duos are listed off and everyone is given a couple minutes to warm up. Mark wanders off somewhere and you just keep nursing your drink, mentally preparing yourself. The first couple goes, and it’s fun to watch, considering most of the guests have two left feet. When it’s time for you and Mark to go there are whispers. It’s always been a hot topic in your circles. There have even been bets on the ‘will they won’t they?’ of the whole thing. The song is randomly chosen, but it doesn’t matter. Like I said, nothing throws you off your game. The song begins, you two pick up on the beat, and it’s like you’ve rehearsed it for years. Step, step, feet always in the same formation. He dips you at some point, quickly pulling you back. This number of yours spans the entire dance floor, getting more sensual as the song continues. There are whistles from the audience.
“I bet you’re ecstatic right now. You love when eyes are on you.”
The music is loud enough that no one can hear you talking.
“Of course, but especially yours.”
You step chest to chest, eyes locked in. You step away again, spinning out. The song is almost over now, and you come back close to one another.
“Fuck.”
He mutters to himself.
“What’s wrong? Worried you’ll misstep?”
“Me? Misstep? No.” 
For the last few seconds, you throw taunts at each other, until the silence comes in and you two stop, breathing heavily, feeling the heat of the moment and the heat of one another. There’s applause, and the two of you stare at each other for what feels like a millennium. He leans in for a moment, brushing your hair out of your face, and your lips finally meet. Even more applause roars, and you pull back, pulling him outside.
“Well, seems like those two are gonna have a good night!”
One of the guests taunts you as you two walk outside. You’re at the side of the building, and it’s quiet out.
“I’m done playing.”
He pulls you close and you kiss again, making out against some fucking club after making each other jealous at some fucking party. None of it matters past this moment. You mutter longing phrases in between, wondering why the two of you started this to begin with, why you were so into the mind games. You felt soft, like you were being vulnerable, but it didn’t matter. When the two of you disconnect there’s a sense of relief in the air. You just sit in it for a while, smiling at each other like idiots. 
“You want to go back to my place?”
You nod. For some reason he insists on driving himself despite having the money for someone to just do it for him. The two of you get into his car, and the tension dies down. You kick your feet up on the dashboard. It’s silent for the first few minutes as he drives through night-time LA. The lights of the cars passing, the perfect temperature of the A/C, it’s all just peaceful. It leads you to finally be open and honest.
“You were right. We should be done doing this.”
At first he’s a little shocked, taking your affirmation the wrong way.
“We should just fucking do it. I’m tired of chasing you and your handsome ass around.”
You two laugh.
“You know y/n, no one else gets me like this. It’s just you.”
You smirk.
“I know.”
“I’m serious. I have a job I can leverage from anywhere. Let’s stop playing, like you said. We’d be perfect.”
“So why didn’t we just do that from the beginning?”
“Because the chase is fun.”
“No one ‘chases’ someone like this for this long.”
You pause, thinking as you stare at the city lights.
“Maybe I thought the magic was just in this little fake world we made. Like we were some actors just performing.”
“And yet you call me anytime you’re having a hard time? We’ve always been special to each other, I think you were just scared.”
Maybe he was right. You’ll never really know, but at least you were onto the next phase. In your gazing out the window, you spot a Sonic.
“We should get ice cream.”
He looks at you for a moment in between focusing on the road.
“W- ice cream?”
“Yeah, have an ice cream date like stupid teenagers or something.”
Mark smiles. Soon enough he’s turning off the road so you two can get some ice cream, sitting in the Sonic parking lot and laughing over your antics over the years.
“Maybe I just needed to grow up a little.”
He raises an eyebrow.
“You told me earlier that I was probably just scared. Maybe I was, but I think I just needed to realize what mattered. And I think tonight, looking into your eyes while we were dancing, I realized you mattered more than everything else.”
The air of innocence, the smell of sugar, the smiles in between sentences, that was the real rush you wanted this whole time, you just didn’t know it. Now you do. Needless to say, you do end up going back to Mark’s place, and you surprisingly end up just cuddling the whole night. And sure enough, you end up going to the wedding as a couple. The bride is a little sad that she doesn’t get to watch you guys dance around each other, but she’s happy that she won the bet of ‘will they.’

Chapter 21 of Gideon the Ninth
Tumblr media
Gideon, I love you, but you are just. So dumb. I guess she is only 18. Dulcinea is... I don't know. Definitely Not 18.
I suspect this is either going in a direction of "Gideon has more thalergy than a normal person because she is Special/Space Jesus" or "Gideon did actually suffer some permanent damage/effect in Chapter 20 but that won't become apparent for a while" and I don't know which to expect
Tumblr media
Ok, so, we have the following information:
Dulcinea said that she talked to Palamedes about completing the Laboratory Eight puzzle, and he declined
Camilla said that Palamedes discussed the Laboratory Eight puzzle with her, and that he concluded that if he did it she would suffer permanent brain damage
Camilla said that "Lady Septimus and I have never met."
So think this means that one of these three things happened:
Palamedes went into the facility by himself, talked to Dulcinea about Laboratory Eight, and then reported back to Camilla later
Palamedes never talked about Laboratory Eight to Dulcinea, but discovered the method on his own independently, and I guess Harrow just inadvertently forgot to mention that Dulcinea had said she talked to him about it
Dulcinea did talk to Palamedes about Laboratory Eight when Camilla was with him, but since Dulcinea is not actually the real Dulcinea/Lady Septimus, Camilla hasn't technically met Lady Septimus
1 seems unlikely, and also boring. I suppose both 2 and 3 could be true simultaneously.
Palamedes says there are only one or two keys left. Going back to Chapter 12 where the facility was first mentioned, there appear to be 10 laboratories, which means 10 keys. Gideon and Harrow have two of them. Dulcinea has one. Rereading Chapter 12 again, Palamedes had one at the time of that chapter, but a number of things have happened since then. So there are four keys that are definitely accounted for, and Palamedes thinks 8 or 9 of them have been claimed now. He says in this chapter that Dulcinea has two keys, but we only saw her with one in Chapter 20, and he's talking about when Mayonnaise Uncle threatened Protesilaus just after the murder. When he says "two keys" is he including the hatch key in that? That's kind of the only thing that makes sense, unless Dulcinea is keeping a secret key somewhere other than the key ring. So Palamedes definitely has more keys at this point. Since Naberius didn't even know about the facility key until after the murder, it seems unlikely that Ianthe had made much progress on the puzzles before that point, since they probably all require the cavalier. I would guess that Mayonnaise Uncle has at least one key. I'm guessing that the Second and the Fourth teens have zero keys, and I think the Fourth teens do not even have the facility key since Teacher says they haven't asked for it again. If Magnus and Abigail had acquired any of the keys before they died, Palamedes wouldn't know about that, and he agrees with Gideon later that they probably just had the facility key. Harrow originally said that there were six locked doors, but that was before she knew about the door that Gideon found and hid, but presumably there are actually ten locked doors for the ten laboratory keys. So my guess is that Palamedes has a couple more keys since the last time we saw his key ring, and he guesses or knows that Mayonnaise Uncle has a couple keys as well. That could potentially add up to 8.
Tumblr media
Ok, so that's what Gideon has been meaning by "pale meat". So she has never eaten fish before, but she knows what they look like when they aren't meat, from magazines, I guess?
Tumblr media
I wonder what he means by that. Does he mean that they solved some puzzles that had already been solved by someone else and thus found no key?
Tumblr media
I feel like Palamedes is trying to warn her Dulcinea is Bad News and Gideon is misinterpreting this as some kind of dumb jealousy thing. Also generally of the impression that Palamedes is also Not 18
Also, Protesilaus is maybe not a real cavalier, supporting the idea that "Dulcinea" is not actually Dulcinea Septimus, now awaiting the moment when we receive the much delayed message from the Seventh House that their heir actually will not be coming to Canaan House due to being too ill
Honestly, though, why is Palamedes including Gideon in this discussion about what happened to Magnus's key ring? Does he trust them for some reason? I'm not sure if I would trust them in his position, tbh, especially after Chapter 20. Unless he knows something about why Dulcinea wants to kill Gideon, if that's what's going on here?
Tumblr media
Is he suggesting that they killed Magnus and Abigail to get the hatch key because they were denied their own hatch key? I don't like this theory, this is an Unfun theory, I hope this is just foreshadowing for something dumb and dangerous they are about to do
The next chapter has skull 4 on it, which seems to support the Fourth Teens Are About To Do Something Dumb theory, at least

SEPTEMBER 12th
Today was my birthday. I would have gone out somewhere to eat if it weren't for the terribly polluted air. It was rotten a year ago, but things have only gotten worse. (No thanks to those wildfires earlier in July.) I'm sick of this unbreathable air, and the only birthday present I really want is for the air to become clean again.
I was finally able to redesign certain characters. The new designs are far from finished. So you'll have to wait to see which characters got the facelift they needed.
While playing Pokémon Violet, I battled against a few people online and tried to earn marks for some of my newer Pokémon.
Tumblr media
If he's that big, why didn't you give him a Jumbo Mark?
After I failed to give my Pokémon any marks, I went to the Pokémon Center to see Nurse Joy congratulate me on my birthday.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The banner was a nice touch.
After studying for a bit, I returned to Pokémon Violet to catch a Pokémon with a Destiny Mark. There were a lot of great candidates. But I eventually chose a Tinkatink.
Tumblr media
She's not shiny. But she's good enough for me.
SEPTEMBER 13th
Aside from all the gifts I received yesterday, one of my later ones was a ticket to Kitakami.
Later in the afternoon, I first went to Pokémon HOME to update Umbre's moveset after I heard that Umbreon was able to learn Toxic again. Thankfully, Umbre already knew that move, so I helped him remember it.
Tumblr media
Now he can actually stand a chance against Paldea's worst.
I got caught up in battling others with my newly improved Pokémon. It wasn't until after my second match that I remembered to dash off to Uva Academy.
Tumblr media
I wouldn't say it was THAT soon. I've only been in this country for half a year.
Jacq tells me that going to Kitakami will allow me to see new Pokémon (who aren't that new as I've already seen them all before) and that I should have fun with it. Another thing he told me was that he already got my mom's permission to come along.
Tumblr media
How they never told me about this, I have no idea.
Also, Blueberry Academy has roots in Unova.
Tumblr media
There's also a lot of Unova Pokémon in Kitakami too. If that's not a hint at remakes for Black and White, I don't know what is.
Briar presents herself as the descendant of the Violet Book author and shares the completed versions of the pages we saw in Professor Turo's research facilities, proving that my hypothesis was correct.

Sadly, we won't get to see Terapogos for another few months.
Before I knew it, I was finally in Kitakami County.
Tumblr media
And I've already made some progress on the new Pokédex. (I'll fill it up some more later.)
Not all was well in this country, as this one girl didn't want me on her turf.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Naturally, I taught her a lesson through a Pokémon battle. (While also learning that, yes, Poltchageist is part-Grass.)
Like every other rival, she acted like a sore loser.
Tumblr media
But then again, I was the one who had 5 Pokémon that were at a higher level than hers.
Sometime after I was settled in at the community center, I was given my first assignment while learning abroad.
Tumblr media
I wanted to get to the first one. But I was too busy exploring the town for treasure.
Tumblr media
This might be the most unenthusiastic Joy I've ever seen. She's like one of those people who act poorly while on the job because they're stuck with it and have nowhere better to look for a paycheck. Which would be reasonable if this weren't a Pokémon Center.
Tumblr media
At least she has the courtesy to stay off her cell phone while operating the machine. Speaking of which...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Why didn't they have a feature like this from the beginning? The TM Machine also had new TMs available for creation. But I didn't need them at the moment.
I eventually met this woman named Perrin.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I was going to wonder why someone like her has a Hisuian Growlithe. But considering everyone else fights with Ursaluna and Hisuian Arcanine, I'm just going to forget it and move on.
Tumblr media
I'm more careful in real life.
Tumblr media
A goal I'm sure will probably take months to complete. (If I didn't have any of those Pokémon in other games.)
SEPTEMBER 15th
I was worried about my performance in school. But my friends told me I was doing a great job and I needed to calm down. I didn't have any school today, which meant I could focus on celebrating the 5th anniversary of Pokémon Pocket Web Comics before getting some sleep.
The air was getting a bit chilly today. It was the perfect sign fall was right around the corner. In a few days, all of my current problems will be no more. (For a while, anyway.)
In Pokémon Violet, I finally made my way to the first signboard. Surprisingly, despite only taking me two days to reach, Kieran didn't beat me to it.
Tumblr media
It's almost as if it could be a Pokémon.
Tumblr media
It's too bad I didn't get a badge for this photo. This screen feels incomplete without one.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm hoping that Miraidon will learn a new technique soon. Also, I haven't heard Pokémon be referred to as Kaiju since the first games were still in development.

Previous Chapter /part 6 How she was saved. Part 7
Tumblr media
WARNINGS: 18+ Just incase. Have tissues on hand.. There's kidnapping, being held captaive heartbreak angst, depression probably some type of psychological thing besides depression going on because she is has been alone for months, she's very upset so it could be triggering for anyone a tiny bit of fluff if you squint but another of angst and heart break maybe disillusioned, tons of confusion. And fear. Theres fighting. Avengers are flightly, bloodshed people being knocked out gas causing confusion guns and gunfire i think thats litterly everything
Nat and Steve were at the only 2 exists/entrances to the facility while Clint was on top. He let a few Stark Drones Carrying in the gas while Nat and Steve were at each door ready to open them and throw in canisters they held.
Wearing clear and lighweate gas masks S.H.I.E.LD. developed Steve, Nat and Clint were able to move through thr facility with ease while it incapacitated the enemy.
It wasnt as big as they anticipated. But as Steve and nat moved through the building they both stopped at opposite ends of a large medical room. It looked sterile, for surgeries and a chair that could be held to tie someone down. But it was empty of people. After a quick glance at eachother they both continued on thier way.
Steve was getting close to her first he knew that the minute a bullets rang out. The gas was fairly potent but Steve didn't know what or who they were shooting at so he ran in with the shild just under his eyes. It only took a few seconds to incompacitate the men then he found the door it had a slant on the bottom and mirrors to see inside on the inside. He saw her cowering on the side. His mind immediately went back to when she said she was terrified watching a horror movie and curled up on Steve. She had looked up for a moment and she was so.....
He bust the door down quickly.
"I'm here to help."
"Nat I found her. She's... I gotta get the mask on her." he pulled her into his arms but she went to fight.
"It's ok it's ok its me I'm taking you home sweetheart. It's going to be ok you need to put this mask ok."
She fought against him.
"Its ok, hey I won't hurt you I swear you're ok."
It was like he said nothing nothing and his words kept being met by pleas of terror. Steve said he'd be on his way one he got thrmask on her.. She finally calmed down when he had said, "it's me my love. I've come to take you home." And he caressed her cheek.
He knew then she wasn't completely lost to anyone. She was still in there. Whatever they had done. His strong sweet girl was still in there. He knew if anyone could survive this she could. If anyone could survive... whatever anyone did to her she'd survive, and he would kill whoever touched her. But that was for another day.
Steve said he'd be on his way one he got the mask on her but she was fighting him. His little fighter well not little but he was proud of her
"Hey its me, my love, I've come to take you home." She relaxed again,
"I need too put this on you before we can go home."
"Home?"
"Yea love home."
She let him put the mask on her.
"Ok babe i need to hold you and run ok. I'll keep you safe, I swear love, you'll be safe."
Steve held her tightly, closely. He knew he wouldn't get these moments for much longer not unless she took him back but he knew the only way to to that was to prove himself to her. But in love or not he never let a civilian get hurt on his watch, he wasn't going to start with her.
"We're on our way out."
Clint was on the roof taking out any who were making a run for it.
"Copy cap its all clear out here."
"I'll meet you at the front door" Nat replied
They took her back to the quinn jet.
She was shaking scared confused out of her mind. But she relaxed in Steve's arms. On one hand Natasha was happy for Steve that he had these moments. She saw little glimpses oh what made them work. But on the other hand Nat saw her student who had grown so much and grown into her friend, who had admitted to being terrified of her ex and who ran. But the most important thing was comfort. She was held in a cell for more than 60 days had relaxed only when she was in his arms and rested only after the said the same words . It was like she was sliding in and out and his voice his words pulled her back.
Tag list
Nat and everyone else let it be for now. The minute they land Steve is on borrowed time. They heard his side but they also saw his words and her fear. And no one could come back from that.
Part 7

It look like grim overblot happens(or happened(?) If time loop theory is correct) in the mirror champer so do you think grim will ocerblot immediately after eating malleus black stone or will something trigger him causing his over blot form (also are the human hands from the dawrf in the mines ?)
I'm so excited but I need to find a new hyper fixations for my adhd brain will waiting for chap 7
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now that I think about it, it might be that Grim Overblots due to a combination of eating Malleus’s OB stone and the negative emotions he experiences because of Yuu leaving. I say this because I recall in the prologue that Crowley asks the Mirror of Darkness to return Yuu back home; it could be that they’re in the Mirror Chamber again so Yuu can officially return to their own world.
After everything they’ve been through together, suddenly his closest friend is leaving him behind and he can’t do anything to stop it. He’ll also likely never see them ever again. He won’t even be able to communicate with them all the way in another world. Yeah, he might have Ace and Deuce, but they aren’t replacements for Yuu. And what’s going to happen after Grim graduates? Who will he have by his side if Yuu isn’t? That’s got to hurt a lot.
I’ve seen this same theory being presented as the reasoning for why Malleus Overblots, but I think it would make a lot more sense for Grim. Throughout the story, it’s made pretty clear that Grim and Yuu are close friends (far stronger ones than Malleus and Yuu are, I would argue). Malleus had like... maybe 5ish direct interactions with Yuu in the main story, and their conversations were often extremely brief. That’s not to say Malleus and Yuu’s friendship isn’t important, but their intimacy just pales in comparison to Grim and Yuu’s.
Grim was the first person Yuu met in Twisted Wonderland, and they’ve been together ever since. They are literally each others’ other half, sharing the spot of a student at NRC. They roomed, studied, and experienced so much with one another. They went through many things that only they would know about, things that didn’t involve Ace or Deuce (see: various events, as well as the whole kidnapping incident in chapter 4, reuniting in STYX HQ in chapter 6, etc.). They’ve spent so much time together, whether directly told to us or implied.
Chapter 6 in particular really shows us how much Yuu and Grim care for each other. Yuu was willing to break into a highly guarded and secretive facility to rescue Grim, despite not having any magic or particularly special skills of their own to aid in the operation. As for Grim, the first thing he does when he wakes up in STYX HQ is look to see if anyone else is there—and when he realizes he’s all alone, he breaks down and cries. This is significant because (as you’ll recall), it parallels Yuu’s experience first waking up in Twisted Wonderland (the major difference being that Grim has no one there for him in this instance). He cries again and apologizes for striking Yuu when he happily reunites with them. After being in an unfamiliar environment all alone for who knows how long, he see Yuu—just like at the very start of their story.
It just makes a lot more sense to me for Grim to Overblot because he has to come to terms with saying good-bye forever 😔
I think the components of the chimera OB can be broken down like this:
Lace around the eyes from Riddle
Shaggy mane from Leona
Tentacles from Azul
Snake tail from Jamil
Puff sleeves from Vil
Fire from Idia (hard to say, because Grim hasn’t been shown to have eaten Idia’s OB stone; it’s not clear if he had one because his body burns up blot fast. Grim was, however, choking on Ortho’s memory chip, which seems to have been where the blot collected based on the images we saw before Idia’s OB.)
Wings from Malleus
Hands from OB in the Abandoned Mines (?)
There will probably be plenty of TWST content (both official and fanmade) for you to enjoy while you wait for the chapter 7 main story updates! ^^
