Hello~ Just want to tell you that your blue lock manager series is absolutely amazing! Feel that my life have became better since I found your blog. I already dropped some requests in your ask box, hope that was ok. x) and I definitely wanna read the part 2 about y/n's time with Bastards. I can imagine that Kaiser and Ness both want her attention (Ness is happy at heart that she likes him more that Kaiser and Kaiser wants go get her attention for himself finally) and Noa warm up for her too and now wants her to stay as official Bastards manager (poor real official manager, omg x)).
Oh, sorry, I can't be short not only in requests, which seems like a headcanons, not like requests, but also in my thoughts and messages. x)
Bless your blog! Wish you lots of inspiration! And feel free to talk and rant about bllk or manager to me if you want.
Author: Here ya go! They would all three honestly be a mess right after she leaves😭 it's funny to think of it tbh. Hope u enjoy this one tho!
Warnings ⚠️ : reader uses she/her. Requests are open
⚽️Blue lock belongs to:Muneyuki Kaneshiro and Yusuke Nomura⚽️
Basically a continuation of this
'This is just like the first day at Blue Lock... I am about to throw up...' (Y/n) gulped as she nervously played around with the hem of her new uniform. It felt weird to be wearing the Bastard München one, when for the past months she had been wearing the one of Blue Lock.
'Is this what butterflies in the stomach feel like?!' (Y/n) thought as she waited for the coach to walk out of his office.
'Can't believe I will ne working for THE Noel Noa for the next 3 weeks! Should I ask him for an autograph for Isagi? No, that would be creepy! Haaaa I think Ego-san in the beginning was less stressful.' (Y/n) gulped as the door finally opened and the white-haired man walked out.
"Ah, you are here already. Pretty early too, I thought you won't be here until 8." Noa said, sounding genuinely surprised that (Y/n) was there earlier, since it was only 6.30.
"I always start earlier back in Japan. Sorry."
The girl said, sounding a little panicked that the man might find it weird.
"No need to apologize, it's good to that you did come earlier. It will give me now more of a chance to show you around. Come." Noel said as (Y/n) followed after the man.
'So cool!'
The tour around the stadium lasted for about an hour, with Noel giving her some introductions where certain places and rooms are, as well as what her role will be.
'Essentially I am doing what I did at Blue Lock, just for a professional team. I can do that!' (Y/n) perked up as Noel called out her name again.
"Yes?"
"If Kaiser says something uncalled for, tell me. He can be quite a handful." The French player explained as (Y/n) nodded her head.
"Thank you Noel-san, I will keep that in mind. I just wanted to know what the training plan was for the next 3 weeks? And if I can have a list with all the players? I want to be able to write the progress the players make during my time here."
"You won't be needing those, as I said you are just doing what you did in Japan-"
"I actually do that."
Noel blinked down at the girl as she felt her face turn redder in embarrassment.
'I shouldn't have said that?!'
"Ego makes you do all that?" The coach asked as the girl shook her head.
"Not really! I do it on my own freewill, I like keeping notes and analyzing." (Y/n) explained, which made Noel nod his head and then pointed at a nearby bench.
"You can wait over there, I will get you those things."
(Y/n) sighed in relief as she did as told and Noel went to his office to get the requested items.
'I wonder how the player here usually are. I know they are good,monsters more, when they play against other teams, but watching them train will be so cool!' (Y/n) thought, not realizing that two figures were approaching her, until...
"Ah! Ness, your little girlfriend is here." Kaiser exclaimed, putting an arm around the girl's shoulder.
"Kaiser, please leave her alone." Ness said, sounding a little annoyed as the girl looked at them both.
"Where did you two even come from? I didn't hear you."
"You looked lost in your thoughts, maybe that's why you didn't hear us. We came a little earlier to greet you." Ness explained. (Y/n) nodded her head, blushing a little as he smiled and removed Kaiser's arm from her. The blonde tsked a little as the two talked, still not over the fast that a girl picked Ness over him.
'Well I do have 3 weeks to change her mind.' Kaiser thought as he watched the duo talk over some random things.
"Good job you two. That was a pretty cool trick." (Y/n) said as she handed the duo their water bottles. It was the 2nd day by now and (Y/n) had made out a plan on what and how to do things. Noel was positively surprised how well she adjusted to the team and by the notes she had taken in the two days. Ness and Kaiser would act as her translators if one of the senior staff members told her something or to go to the store.
"You are doubting the great Michael Kaiser now?" The blonde wondered as Ness clapped a little.
"Well, the bar for you is low, so whatever you do will be interesting." (Y/n) said back, and to Kaiser's surprise Ness said nothing. He would usually attack anyone who offended Kaiser, but he couldn't bring himself to be the same with (Y/n). Something about the girl just warmed his heart, and he couldn't deny the small bit of satisfaction that she had picked him over Kaiser back then.
"Is that so? Then you will be in for a ride. Better keep your socks on unless you want me to knock them off."
"Hmmm..."
"So you finished the papers I gave you?" Noel asked at the end of the first week, surprised with how fast she had done the job. He expected her to need the whole 3 weeks to finish, but here he was holding them.
"Yeah, Ness and Kaiser helped me out with the translations and I got this ready too."
(Y/n) said, handing Noel the notebook she had been using for the past week. The man quietly started reading as a knock was heard and Kaiser barged in.
"Noel, is (Y/n) done yet? Ness and I are hungry!"
The man looked up from the notebook and looked at the blonde in confusion.
"What does she have to do with it? Just go and eat."
"She owes us food for being her translators." Kaiser argued as Ness peeked inside.
"This was Kaiser's idea."
Noel sighed and nodded his head, telling the three they are free to go. Once Ness and Kaiser pulled (Y/n) out, Noa kept on reading the notes, amazed with some of the things that caught her eyes.
"Hmm..."
"We are going to that food stand!" Kaiser announced as Ness stayed quiet while (Y/n) looked at it in confusion.
"Here? Alright, I would have expected you two to prefer some fancier place." (Y/n) commented as Ness patted her back and Kaiser handed her a piece of paper.
"I wrote down what you should order, now don't make my hours of teaching you German go futile."
"It was more Ness teaching anyways-"
"Technicalities. Now go." Kaiser said as he pulled (Y/n) along while Ness simply smiled along.
The 2nd week started off with the club having their day off, so Kaiser and Ness decided to use the opportunity to bring (Y/n) to some famous places in Munich. It was a rather cold day and while she wanted to refuse at first, Ness kept on asking so she caved in, to which Kaiser was a little offended.
"Are you still mad I told you no?" (Y/n) wondered as they ate breakfast.
"I am more offended that you told me no, while not even 3 minutes later saying yes to Ness." Kaiser argued, sending a side glare to the magenta-eyed eyed boy.
"I think those are skill issues on your part." Ness said, earning a laughter from (Y/n).
"Also, Ness was less aggressive about it." The girl blushed as she sent a few glances at Ness, who was flattered by the attention. Kaiser cleared his throat and leaned against his chair.
"Lovely, you two make me want to throw up-"
"Anyways, I made us a plan where we can go. We are in luck that today is less of a crowded day..."
With narrowed eyes, Kaiser stared at Ness and (Y/n) as the boy started explaining everything to her. It was honestly annoying how she was looking at him and hanging onto every word of his.
'Meanwhile she is pretending like I don't exist or isn't taking me seriously. Do I have to act nice around her to get some attention?'
"What...are you doing exactly?" (Y/n) asked as she walked into the storage room to get the equipment for the day. Kaiser turned around as he held the big box, surprised that she was here now.
"Helping."
"Why?" (Y/n) wondered, never expecting the blonde to pick up a box for her.
"Because I want to help you while you are still here." Kaiser answered simply and the girl nodded her head. His voice was a lot softer, making his words sound a lot more genuine than usually.
"I...uh thank you." (Y/n) said timidly and looked at her feet, a sight that made Kaiser stop and stare at her for a moment.
"Nothing worth mentioning." He smiled and (Y/n) followed after him, still in shock from his genuine words.
"Today's practice has left me a mess. I can't wait to sleep." Ness muttered as he leaned against the wall of the stadium, both him and (Y/n) waiting for Kaiser to finish changing.
"Really? I didn't notice it on you. You seemed to enjoy yourself a lot." (Y/n) spoke up as the magenta-eyed boy nodded his head.
"I did, football and playing with Kaiser makes me happy... a lot. But the day was just too tiring. Thanks for being here and helping us, I think it would have been a lot harder otherwise." Ness said, genuinely happy the girl was here with them, with him.
'I really wish I was in Blue Lock sometimes.'
"It's really nothing, I like helping you guys." (Y/n) grinned.
"Say.... why did I catch your attention of all people?" Ness suddenly spoke up, his face turning as red as (Y/n)'s was.
"I like your charisma...and the way you play football, it really looks like a magical performance."
'Also your smile is adorable!' (Y/n) finished the last part in her head, not daring to sat it out loud.
"Oh... I didn't think my play was that special. But thank you." Ness said with a soft smile.
"(Y/n), did you put up all the equipment?" Noel asked as the girl looked up from some papers the man gave her.
"Yep! I asked the assistant coach for some help though. Also! I finished writing down the plan for next week and I made an analysis diagram of the past two weeks. Kaiser went up with his speed and Ness became a lot swifter with his dribbling."
Noel looked at the said items again as (Y/n) continued speaking, the out of the blue patted her head.
"H-huh?" She stopped and looked up to see the man smiling softly at her.
"Great job. I will bring these to my office. Thank you."
"No... problem..." (Y/n) watched Noel leave with a flustered expression as Kaiser approached her with a pout and put a towel over her head.
"Hey?!"
"A bird pooped on you! Let me wipe it off!' The blonde said.
'Damn you,Noel.' Kaiser thought, glaring at the back of the man's head.
It was the third week now and Noel was nervously on the phone, waiting for Ego to answer.
"Yes?" Came the man's bored voice from the other side.
"I will cut to the chase. How much money do you want for (Y/n) to transfer to us?"
"Nothing, she is coming back to Japan this week. You all have a manager already. We need (Y/n) back here."
"Please Ego, she does a way better job than our manager did while he was here. Understand me too." Noel groaned, already dreading the day the man comes back. He wasn't bad or lazy... he just lacked the enthusiasm for the sport.
"I understand, but I do not care. (Y/n) is coming back this week." With that the man ended the call and the Frenchman sighed.
"Maybe she will have a change of heart in a month or two."
"Here! These are for you two." (Y/n) said, handing Kaiser and Ness two boxes. Confused, the boys took the boxes and observed them, one was blue and the other one was a light purple shade.
"What are these?" Kaiser raised an eyebrow as Ness kept staring at his with a lost look.
"I made some chocolates for you two, as a gift for helping me out these past 3 weeks."
With a red face, Ness started saying it was nothing and how they did just a normal thing. Kaiser felt his own face heat up a little bit too and he cleared his throat.
"It was nothing..." The duo looked at Kaiser, surprised by his soft tone.
"But why are you ficing us these now?"
"Huh? I am leaving for Japan tomorrow morning, what other time can I give them to you?"
"Tomorrow morning?!"
"And you didn't tell us anything?!" Ness and Kaiser asked in shock as (Y/n) raised her eyebrow.
"I thought Noel-san told you two..."
The two stopped talking and thought over her words, remembering that the man did mention something related to (Y/n), but they zoned out right after he said her name.
"Well, let's spend the rest of the time we have left with you." Kaiser said bitterly, pulling (Y/n) by the sleeve of her jacket.
"Yeah, let's make the best of what we have left." Ness added putting his arm around her shoulders.
"Do you two have to be this close though?" (Y/n) asked with a flustered face.
"Yes!"

Okay, we gotta talk about how these images were set to these lyrics.
When SKETCH first came out, lots of fan translations were floating around and getting analyzed. I have my own translation and interpretations of the song that I wanna share, at least of these five lines.
The lyrics of the chorus, which are sung as we pan over these two images, are as follows:
「居なくならないでね」
「君こそね」
能天気に約束して肩を叩く
きまってどちらかが破るのさ
今回もまた僕じゃなかっただけ
My translation would be:
-
"Don't you disappear on me, okay?"
"Not you."
Promises made in a carefree way with a pat on the shoulder.
Which of them will break, like they always do?
This time, too, it wasn't just me.
-
The first two lines are in quotations, and in my mind, they are both spoken by the subject of the song (Izuku), not the singer (Katsuki). There is some ambiguity with the use of koso (こそ), which emphasizes the word before it, often in the sense of "definitely," "for sure," or "specifically because it's [blank]." Koso is used in a lot of ways, though, sometimes as a rebuttal of sorts--
Person A: どう? 考えは? (Well? What do you think?)
Person B: 君こそ教えるよ (You tell me first!)
So, there is a possibility that these two lines are actually an exchange:
A: "Don't disappear on me, okay?"
B: "Hey, speak for yourself." (You're the one who might disappear.)
This would be a promise made between the two of them. You won't disappear, and neither will I.
Both lines have ne (ね) at the end, which to me suggests the speaker of the first line is continuing their train of thought, in the sense of saying "you know? ...because like, ... right?"
Inakunara (居なくなら) means to disappear, to go away, to leave, to stop existing. This line is saying, don't leave me, don't go away, don't disappear from my life. I see these lines as Izuku, the sweet little nerd, casually, lightheartedly saying, "Kacchan, don't go off and leave me, okay? Because it's you, you know? Never you." And whether Katsuki verbally reciprocates the promise or not, the feeling behind it is mutual.
The verb used for break in the fourth line is yaburu (破る). (Fun fact: The kanji used to write yaburu is the same kanji used for Katsuki's Quirk name, Bakuha: 爆破.) This is not the word you would usually use for things like "that broke his heart" or "they broke the table," which is kowasu (壊す); the meanings overlap, but yaburu is also used for broken promises.
This makes the fifth line sound like, "This time it wasn't just me who broke this promise and disappeared--you did, too."
Which... sounds a lot like Katsuki saying, "I ran away, I tried to keep you at a distance. But you are putting yourself in danger again and again--now it's you who's leaving me."
Those carefree, loving lyrics of the first three lines pan over the image of little Katsuki smiling at little Izuku. The last two lines pan over Katsuki now, reaching for little Izuku's hand as he wishes he did all those years ago. Katsuki is desperate for Izuku to not disappear, to not break that promise--but one way or another, the promise will be broken, because without a thought he chooses to give his life to save Izuku's.
Not you.

IPKKND LIVE BLOG SEASON 1 [Epi 5]
Let'z welocme Shyam today. *sarcasm intended* (-_-) (I know I wrote the wrong spelling by mistake but then I noticed it and thought let it be. Who cares. Shyam himself won't come here to correct me.)
There, I gave you the biggest spoiler of the episode, in advance to ruin your mood.
Heh. I am evil.
Now don't leave without reading it, okay? I do a lot of mehnat into writing these. :')
Come. Let'z begin this then *sighs irritated-ly*
Arnav's manager shows him the live news with the footage, being telecasted in some channel. (Kamlesh Khabri ji, was that yours ? Lol.)
2. Did you-too- wonder about that 'smart' phone, Arnav was holding? Turns out, I could find it.
3. "Aaj ka saajan" Lmao. (Today's lover)
4. Arnav, while watching that clip, being telecasted, flashes back to the line Khushi said last, before leaving. "Devi maiyya ki marzi ke bina koi kuch bhi nahi kar sakta, koi Arnav Singh Raizada bhi nahi." (No one can do anything without Devi-Maiyya's wish, not even some Arnav Singh Raizada.")
5. Basically, he is thinking, that, he has shown her place to 'that girl', who had said that he can't do anything without some 'devi maiyya's wish'.
6. This is clear in his reply to Akash's protest for over paying MR . "Meri beizatti karne ki himmat naa kabhi kisi ne ki hai, naa ab koi karega." (No one, has ever disrespected me, nor anyone would, now, have the guts to.) Oh. So, the problem is your ego issue.
I should have known it. Khushi had the misfortune to meet you and now she is paying the price with her reputation and dignity, being butchered like animal slaughtering. You, a__hole.
7. Khushi and her Amma are getting molested by a bunch of perverts.
8. Babuji tries to stop them, but he gets a hard push, which results in Shashi losing his balance and his head hits a nearby pole.
9. The men are very adamant and one of them tugs at Khushi's dupatta.
10. There. A man, wearing, a beautiful shiny brown pair of office shoes, with a matching pair of trousers, is shown stepping down from somewhere. He starts walking (towards the scene?)
11. A Turquoise bracelet gleaming in his right wrist. (why the fck isn't he wearing his wedding ring?) He is shown from behind some -shops?- He walks upto where babuji had fallen down. He helps him to stand up.
12. Wow. Daiyya Ho! What an entry.
13. Everything aside. Aabhaas looks so fckin handsome in that outfit. Everything. Literally, everything about his look is so freaking perfect. The colour combo of the shirt and pant. The shoes. Oh. God. I am in love with those shoes.
IDK. It's just looks so- fantastic?-deliciously beautiful?- I am simping for those, quite literally. Is it normal for some human to simp on a pair of shoes? Whatever. So. Yeah. I was talking about the look. The flare of the pant, as he walks. His haircut. Like. Wow. Absolutely ravishing.
14. And he starts beating those mfs, one by one.
15. After beating those hooligans. He walks back to Babuji, to check up on him. He tells him to get a band-aid for his cut. Babuji is touched by his words and thanks him for the help.
16. Then, Shyam turns to look at where Amma was standing but is transfixed to see Khushi shyly(hesitantly?) looking at him with tears in her eyes, from behind her Amma, just like any other rom-com film, only that, this isn't any other rom-com film. (the Sitar and Tabla BG score used, here, is so freaking beautiful and also kind of suits him coz it sounds something like wicked and graceful.)
17. We can see, he is caught off guard, by the way, Khushi is looking at him; by her beauty. He realizes her hesitation and picks up her fallen dupatta and offers it to her but Amma takes it back. He might have wanted to talk to her but, before that, he is pulled out of his trance, by babuji and they bid him a goodbye.
Khushi turns back to look at him, one last time. Only that, this isn't the last time, they would be meeting. Alas. Khushi as well as we, don't even have an idea about, the depth, of his obsession with Khushi that, will go, after this moment.
18. Look at the absolute contrast, in the way, they introduced both the anti-hero and the main villain. At this point, half of the audience might have already started shipping Shyam and Khushi.
19. The sequence, at Gomti Sadan, is so freaking emotional. Khushi is, again, getting punished for the crime that she didn't even commit. (Or until they think that she shouldn't have left the house at all.)
20. Even babuji cannot come to forgive her, this time. Garima decides to send, both of them, away to Delhi. Buaji, who always had an over-reaction for every situation, was, a minute ago, shouting at both of them to say or do something, to punish Khushi,(She really likes to see Khushi suffering. Bloody sadist.) is shocked. Lol. "Dilli kauno davaai ki pudhia thori haee, ki ghol ke pilaay dio. Sab theek." (Delhi isn't some bundle of medicines that dissolving it in water and making it drink someone, would cure everything.)
21. The moment she realizes that she has to take both of the girl's responsibility, she spits out the water from her mouth. Lmao. She tries to convince both of them but is not successful. Her discomfort is so visible, as she gets to taste the result of her instigation. LMAO. LMAO. LMAO. Buaji ab maza aaya? Lol.
22. Anjali comes in with a thaali, diya and some incense sticks burning. Arnav is immediately irritated at the sight of his Didi (initially he used to call her 'didi' then he resorted to 'Di').
23. She asks about whether he ever thought about the well-being of 'that girl' before creating such a huge ruckus and Arnav, I think, is caught off guard.
24. We are immediately taken to 'that girl', who is so innocent that she could not even think that her 'woh' had released those 'taswirein'.
25. She vows to find out who was the one to release them.
26. Deepali's foundation was so off, in this scene. (Literally, her face looks so pale.)
27. Payal asks Khushi, in a challenging(or admonishing?) way, that how will she find out, ready to scold her, for even mentioning to do something else, lest it worsens the already messy situation, they are in.
28. Screen cuts to Arnav, still in his thoughts (maybe regretting? Lol. No.) as he comes out of his reverie and says " Soch ke hi toh kiya tha." (It was a thought out move.)
29. Liar. (Liar, pants on fire. Lol.) No. You were not thinking when you ordered for those videos to be released, Arnav. Why are you lying then? Tell your Didi that you did it, in a fit of rage, to show 'someone' that you actually hold a lot of power. Bloody b_stard.
30. Lol. "Ab aap apna yeh 'naari mukti morcha', yahan mat nikaliye, yeh mera office hai." (Now, please don't start your 'Women's Liberation March' here, this is my office.)
31. Lmao. The brother-sister banter is so heart warming and fun to watch :)
32. Both Khushi and Payal reach the office of 'Khabrein 24x7' (News 24x7). Khushi, is nervous, and clutches Payal's hand in fear. Payal understands her distress and smiles victoriously, that now she will be able to convince her sister, to return back to their comfort zone.
33. But, her sister is more courageous than she seems to be. And, true to her nature, she tells Payal to take a seat and walks up to the reception, gulping nervously.
34. She asks to have a word with their company's 'maalik' (owner). But, the receptionist tells her, for that she would have to go to Delhi.
35. After a few minutes of deciding, when she wants to talk, to the receptionist again, she tells her to wait for sometime without paying any attention that she is 'the same girl'.
36. Sometime later, the workers of the office realize that Khushi is that 'TV wali ladki' and they start mocking her and make fun of her situation. They circle her in the center of the office and keep laughing.
37. Payal is disappointed and reduces to tears immediately, she quickly walks up to Khushi but loses the courage to take her out of it, as her feet get frozen, due to the nervous-ness, by all that negative attention, that, they are getting.
38. Khushi noticing, that her sister is getting affected by the mess that they have managed to land into, speaks up. She, while shedding tears, knocks some sense into them. And they are.....umm, immediately regretting it? No realization?
I mean to say that they could have shown them realizing their mistake, like, they could have taken some time? Then, that, 'sorry we were wrong' could have made much more sense. Did you too feel that? No? Only me? Ok. Leave it. (Pata nahi choro.)
39. So. Yeah. They 'feel' sorry immediately. And regret it. But, Khushi does not want their apology. She wants the answers which she had come for. They reveal that they got the orders from the higher authorities ('Woh clippings release karne ke orders upar se aaye the.')
40. Khushi asks who send them those clippings and is unsurprisingly shocked. I know. I don't make sense. But. Let me explain. See. She is so naive, that, she didn't even realize the extent of power and influence that ASR commands.
Just because, she got to 'talk' to him personally, in a fairly public place (The Dargah), without any appointment, in his own office, doesn't mean that he is not 'that' much influential. It's just, he chose to have a conversation about the topic with her. He could have easily ignored her. But, he didn't.
So, my point is, she could not even come to think that only he would be the one, who could do this, even after, getting into a heated argument with 'The ASR'. She had already started treating him like an acquaintance. Like, he is a random normal person, just like her. And, not some Business Tycoon of the Fashion Industry. She had already started treating him like an equal, like a normal person, of her 'status'.
41. So. She's shocked. Screen stops at her face. Precap begins. *quickly pauses it* Spoilers. (Although I had already watched it once earlier *smiles nervously* I am not a hypocrite, okay? I had watched it out of excitement.)Ok. Bye.
P.S. : No P.S. Bye. Have a great day/night ahead. God bless you.

There will be spoilers about Astarion in this post, so feel free to keep scrolling if you don't want to read them. I tried to tag it properly, because I don't want to be an asshole and ruin all the nice things for people. I'm just kind of rambling here because it's 3am and I can't sleep.
The endings for Astarion are interesting. It's a lot to take in, in both scenarios. I wouldn't label them 'good' or 'bad' necessarily, but that's just me.
The 'bad' ending, I think, has so many layers to it. But it's not just about Astarion becoming darker, more sinister and evil, it's Tav too. (Should Tav choose to become immortal with him, I should say.)
Astarion is already acting like Cazador. As a spawn he detested his treatment, and was traumatized and horrified of the things Cazador had him do, knowing the whole time Cazador had zero plans to make him a full vampire. Astarion, along with the other spawns, were just mere playthings, amusements. Cazador had all the power, why give that power to a spawn? And Cazador was possessive of his spawns. Obsessed, even.
And Astarion is making Tav a spawn, with no mention of making them a full vampire. And he doesn't use the word spawn--he goes around the question when Tav asks him if they are to be a spawn or vampire. He replies Tav will be his consort. (I forget what he says in response to Tav saying, 'I want to be a true vampire.')
Which, okay, means Tav will be their partner--but would he call all his spawns consorts? Perhaps, perhaps not. Tav, most likely, will not be his only spawn. Because Astarion will grow bored. Yeah, he thanks Tav for giving him everything and tells Tav how perfect and amazing they are, but Astarion oozes charisma and is full of vampiric charms. Flattery is like a second language to him.
(Kind of reminds me when he wants to sleep with Tav for the second time, much earlier in the game, and Tav can say 'Did that work on Cazador's targets?' when he starts with all his lines of love, and he responds 'It worked on you, didn't it?' Ouch.)
He reveals, before he starts falling for Tav (Act I, I think) that he slept with them to manipulate their feelings, make Tav become attached to him so they wouldn't throw him out.
He's definitely chaotic neutral until this point, and Tav's help can take him in either direction. Now as a true vampire, with Tav as his spawn, his obsession and possessiveness comes out, and gone are the (possibly) real feelings he had. He's not even worried Tav will turn on him--because Tav will obey him without question, not needing to 'force' Tav to comply. He knows Tav won't stray far, either, as Tav needs his powers to function in daylight.
He knows Tav is absolutely in love with him. He probably harbors some affection for Tav, but it's doubtful that it's real love. He definitely favors Tav (for the time being). Which is...also why he has zero respect for Tav, because Tav is degrading themselves to be with him.
He knows what it's like to be a spawn. It's a very degrading existence as one is not even their own person anymore. He even says so--he's killing Tav's mind.
BUT this is what Tav wants. Because, perhaps, Tav likes to be degraded, and Astarion picks up on it. Because Tav just wants to be with Astarion.
I can picture several hundred years later Astarion locking Tav up if he becomes bored with them. It's sad, but would Tav even care at that point?
I don't know, I like the 'bad' ending. There's a lot going on in it, but essentially it's just his past repeating itself, except now he's the true vampire and Tav is the subservient spawn.
More aptly put, it's either let Astarion continue the story by becoming that which he has hated his whole undead life, letting the wheel turn as it always has, or having him break that wheel, and become someone more--kinder, someone who pets bunnies.
I wish there were more variations on his endings...perhaps there are, but no one's discovered it yet. It would be nice if one could cure him without him becoming such a meanie.
I need sleep lol.

I'm gonna preface this by saying this probably won't make sense and I'm just rambling about NE ships
I dunno what it is but NE ships are just so-
Like there's something sbput them. Something about the "I'll never admit I love you in any traditional way. You're the stupidest person I've met. I'd go to the ends of the earth for you if you asked. Just say the word"
Mass and Virginia! It's about the centuries of pining and drama and "Maybe he would love me if I wasn't me" And he already does! Mutual love they think isn't because of how differently they show love. Eventually realizing their different ways, and it dawning on them that yeah that idiots in love with them too. It's all the hardships and heartbreak and coming out the other side changed, but still in love. A quiet kind of love that was friends first.
Mass and York! They're literally so in love all the time. It's loud! Explosive! They'd kill for eachother. They'd rip out their own tongues before admitting it. Mass told him once "Nobody gets to kill you but me" And maybe it was taken as a threat but I can't stop thinking about the underlying "I will protect you. Please don't die". It's about the late night sessions, after one of them (York) has stumbled in drunken and bruised, and the other (Mass) Plays doctor and patches him up, and pretends theor heart doesn't ache that this is the closest they'll let eachother be. It and NY/NY it's about finally giving up being stubborn, and be vulnerable, or to suffer.
Speaking of NY/NY, their rivalry is everything to me. Mass is the enemy, NJ is the rival. They brawl all the time, they patch eachother up. They're so shit and yet they're the sweetest in the world. Jersey calls him "Rosie" infront of everyone, and York has to pretend he hates it. Quietly, when he thinks Jersey is asleep he'll call him his soulmate in every language he knows except Italian. Sometimes they're doomed fron the start, an on/off relationship they wish was more. Sometimes they're sneaking around the house, pretending their relationship is secret as they drag each other off to do the dumbest shit.
NJ/MA/NY?? Perfection. NJ teasing them about being lovey dovey and immediately getting flirted with.
Rhode/Jersey? Honestly I see them as a QPR. They're the best friends that never really said they're life partners officially, but everyone knows. They're shit talking buddies, they gather blackmail together. They'd hide a body for eachother but won't pass the other a charger. Them <3
Vermont and NH are also very <3 Quiet and unnoticeable, vs the chaos man very determined on befriending him. Either no one realizes they're together, or NH carries him in every room loudly announcing they're boyfriends now. Vermont is the reason, but he is very quickly convinced into doing chaos. They go on camping dates. Vermont is still traumatized from NH driving
Maine/Alaska, two very quiet people, very soft in their affection. They're the kind that bond instantly and then panic over any hint of flirting. Maine is too aware of it, Alaska is oblivious to both their attempts. They have my whole heart.
NJ/Connecticut! The lawyer man and his client he has to tell to stop hiding bodies. They're a disaster. Jersey is openly flirting and Connecticut can't take it. They're dancing alone in their rooms at the dead of night to avoid prying eyes. They're lying together under stars whispering "I love yous".
Delaware/Rhode/(Jersey)! They deal with the same shit. They defend eachother fiercely. They're going on boating trips for date night. They're fighting over Delaware's ego one minute and making out the next.
PA/MA. They're literally mom and dad. They're the parents of the NE fight me. I know Mary is parent vibes, but MA is at least the mom of the New England states. They're ranting to eachother about their idiot kids who fight instead of talking, ignoring some time in the past they definitely did the same. They fall in love over movie nights and gently moving the other from a desk to a bed.
I know I probably missed some but I'm running out of word vomit
I have thoughts on other region ships if you want that too

The love story of a shark and an octopus Part 7 FINALE :
Tumblr media
Yes, another time skip. These last few months had been a blast. You and the trio did all kinds of crazy actives. Some were fun, exciting, messy or even difficult to get through and as well as risky. Others didn't always end well, but you had each other and that's that mattered.
But of course, all good things must come to an end. Such as the year rapidly reaching its end too. The idea was truthfully really gloomy, you didn't wanna leave, not yet at least, you still had so much to do with everyone !
And...Last year's catastrophic events took so much away. All the times you could've have spent alongside one another, all of that was wasted !
It felt frustrating, just knowing the fact was frustrating enough.
Nonetheless you were still grateful to have been able to see the boys again. Especially Azul, he'd gotten a lot smarter, tactful, stronger and...even more handsome than last time but he was always beautiful so...
!!!
Woah. Got carried away there. Remember. Your friendship is strictly platonic [Name] ! Although you do have this weird feeling in your stomach when you two interact...Azul often stutters when talking to you, he also averts his eyes away from yours...You and him blush too...a lot.
Tumblr media
You know what fuck it, you fell in love with him a long time ago no denying THE TRUTH !
Even so...He and the twins will be leaving for NRC next year. Pfft- the look on your face when they announced to you how they received a letter to be accepted. You smashed right back on all of them like your first reunion ! I mean, who wouldn't be happy for their best friends and crush ?
This was a huge opportunity !
Although it would mean you were gonna be separated from then on. But it's ok ! You can just contact them and keep in touch, this way you'll never really be apart ! Right...?
And there goes the doubtful thoughts again, they always keep coming back to you. Why won't they just stop ?! You have a solution so why are you doubting every single idea that pops in your mind ?!
______________________________________________________________
Meanwhile...
"Ne~ Azul, when are you confessing to [Name]-chan ?" Floyd poked Azul's cheek in hopes to get a reaction out of him. "He's right, you've loved them for quite a while now. Don't you think it's time to do something about it ?"
The silver haired merman grumbled as he tried to ignore the tweels' teasing. Much to his dismay, they weren't done.
"Should we just tell them ourselves ?~" And with that, the octopus directly faced Floyd to protest on his idea as he grabbed ahold of his shoulders "Don't you dare tell them anything !"
"Oya oya Azul, no need to get so worked up." Jade continued to tease, "We were just joking~"
Floyd was laughing hysterically at his friend's flushed expression, Azul however, wasn't having any of it.
"You both aren't helping ! We'll be leaving in a few weeks and I don't want to go without at least telling [Name] how I feel about them !"
Jade's eyes widened as he was a bit surprised by the sudden declaration. Floyd was (despite being his identical twin) chuckling out of amusement until his mood did another 180 degree flip. "You better...It's becoming so boring to watch, I just wanna squeeze the truth out of the both of you for a change..."
The tako gulped moreover placed his hand on his shin, "I don't know if I should be upfront about it...or maybe- AGH FLOYD !!!"
______________________________________________________________
"*sigh*" you tried to take your mind off things with a little swim outside. It didn't help as much as you wished it to but you did enjoy watching a couple seahorse float around.
Upon your little adventure to spotted a tall rock with light shining onto it, that looks like a nice place to relax ! You thought to yourself, you swam towards the pillar of strength and laid on top.
the ray of sunlight that radiated on your cold skin comforted you. It was nice to have some warmth, sharks are cold blooded after all...
Closing your eyes, you remained on this boulder for a couple minutes, until something was tickling your nose.
Algea ? really ? you bitterly opened your eyes to find that there was indeed sea weed in front of you. Oh come on. What a bother, especially when you were finally starting to relieve the damn stress. Groaning, you turned on your left side to ignore it. But then...
Should I ?
You flipped around and ripped the sea plant of the rock, humming as you started to cut off the leaves while you repeated the words in your mind : He loves me. He loves me not. He loves me. He loves me not...
It was stupid, the princesses and princes who did this in fairytales always had what they wished for in the end.
I mean, it was fairly obvious that you were both pinning on one another. But you can't stop the what ifs, they're always there.
...
OK THAT'S IT, SUCK IT UP AND DO IT-
______________________________________________________________
A couple weeks turned into one, and a week turned into days. The both of you STILL hadn't confessed. Furthermore, you were a lot more distant with not only azul but the twins too. And Floyd was dying out of frustration. Was it because you were both too shy ? Were you nervous to say good bye ? Did you think that since they were going to study abroad you had to learn how to live without each other ? Or was it because you were busy with something ?
That was until a couple days turned into the last. This was going to be your final chance to confess to him before he went off, and for once, you were determined to get it right.
"Hey Azul !" you chirped right before he was about to swim back home. "O-oh what is it [Name] ?" he questioned, "Could you please meet me up up here in an hour ?" you handed him a small purple seashell with your writing on it. "Are those...directions ?" nodding, you continued "Yeah ! Just follow the instructions and meet me at the designed spot. 🎶I have a surprise~🎶"
And with that you started to swim away waving back at him, "don't forget ok !"
He looked confused as to why you would suddenly plan a surprise. Azul was hoping it wasn't a prank orchestrated by the pair of moray eels but since you asked he couldn't refuse.
An hour later, Azul was diving through the waters while stopping every few minutes to check where he was going. It's a good thing you're writing was legible, because there were so many specifications that he would instantly get lost !
Finally I should be...here ? Azul looked up from the small seashell you offered him to the big boulder you had previously spent your time on. The sun still glimmered through the cold ocean water as the sand reflected on the beautiful luminosity dancing as the waves crashed on each other creating an alluring sight to anyone passing by.
Colorful anemones, algae and corals adorned the tall mineral pillar. This was such a sight to behold, the merman couldn't resist the 'woah' that slipped from his mouth.
Mesmerized he didn't notice you hiding behind said boulder, your figure was hiding in the shadows, holding a small bouquet of sea flowers.
It's ok [Name] you can do this, so get out there- ! You took in a deep breath and slowly started to swim out of your hiding spot, bouquet behind your back.
The cecaelia immediately sensed your presence and watched as the light steadily beamed onto your huge tail. "[Name]...Did you do all of this ?" he asked, you then inclined eagerly and offered him one of your infamous grins "I thought it would be nice, you know- maybe we could use this as our anniversary spot ?"
"A-anniversary ? I don't remember us meeting here-whah ?!" you gut him halfway through his questions by pressing the sea flower bouquet in his arms. "Not that ! Our relationship anniversary !"
"I love you Azul ! I really do ! And if you would let me....could I ask you to be my partner ?" you spoke cheerfully and the octomaid couldn't help but stand there absolutely speechless. Now you were getting worried.
"I-I did- did I get the wrong signals...?" your expression was heartbreaking and he knew he messed up reacting the way he did. I mean his expression wasn't any better, he was really happy but really emotional about it. Anyone would think he was disappointed.
"No no ! I-you didn't ! I was just so stunned, I didn't expect it !" he rushed over to your side as he chuckled nervously trying to assure you that your feelings were reciprocated. "I love you too ! I sort of wanted to be the one confessing but it seems you still are a step ahead of me !"
and with that, you crashed into him giving Azul the biggest hug. Just lie when he accepted to once be friends with you, he accepted to be your significant other today.
Do you get deja vu yet ?
"I...think this happened before" still holding onto you, Azul stated something very true you couldn't help but laugh in return.
"haha..I guess it did." you continued to hold him for a little while until he pulled away. Holding your hands in his the boy who wad once bullied and hurt had evolved into someone so strong minded and graceful. He had been a stranger, a friend and he was know your partner.
"I'll be leaving tomorrow...But for now, how about we spend sometime together. Just the two of us ?" he smiled as you warmly looked back at him.
"That does sound nice..." you then began to tilt your head and look over his shoulder.
"DO YOU TWO PLAN ON COMING ALONG OR ARE YOU GONNA LEAVE ?" without even having to look back, the sound of a certain laughter immediately told Azul who was spying on you.
His smile dropped into a more 'I'm done with everything' face. "It's them, isn't it ?" he kept his voice low trying not to alert your surveilling pair.
"Mhm. It's them." keeping your loving smile, you kissed his cheek and swam towards the twins. "Now how much did you hear ?"
"PFAHAHAHAHAHA AZUL LOOKED SO STUPID BWAHAHAHA-" Floyd was rolling on the sand wheezing when Jade simply stood there smiling "congratulations !"
You could assume that they've seen most of it.
"I DID NOT !"
Placing your hands on your hips/sides you answered to the tako's counter, "Of course you didn't love, this eel just like messing with you." The random nickname made your octopus boy blush, now what was cuter then that ?
"Come on, let's get away from them." swimming back you grabbed ahold of your boyfriend's arm, giving him a teasing smile as you took him away.
"O-oh ok."

Olsen II
Part 16 of On The Inside With Elizabeth Olsen

masterlist
 ⚠️ SPOILERS FOR MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS ⚠️
Y/N POV
I grumble myself awake and shut off my 5am alarm.
I haven't woken up this early in years but today, Monday, is special. It's Liz's last week in London! So I wanted to send her a special text this morning.
Yes, it's now been three weeks since Liz and I made our relationship official! Yes, I know we immediately became girlfriends after saying we'd take things slow. Oh well.
The only people that know are Max, James, Sam, Robbie, Ash, and MK. I probably would've told my mom by now if our relationship had been in a better place.
Less than a week ago, I finally called her back after dodging her calls, and the call went exactly how I predicted.
It started with the usual catching up on life kind of bullshit, and that was great before it devolved into a series of "why aren't you going back to school?" "Do you honestly think you can be happy and successful without a degree?" "You're way too pretty and smart. I'd hate to see you waste the opportunities I gave you." Then, money this and money that.
So it's a safe bet I won't be making calls home soon. Don't get me wrong. I love my mom. I do! But it's just... I wish we had the relationship we used to have. Yes, she did a great job as a mom throughout my life but after what my dad did to the two of us... you know it's not the same as it was.
Anyways, the rest of the world has yet to know about Liz and I, of course, but that hasn't changed anything. The media has slowed down on the articles about MK and her secret lover. I keep getting photographed but less and less. Not that it was a lot, to begin with, but I'm thankful not to have random people take pictures of me.
I know this will change once Liz and I are out. But for now, I'm enjoying it.
Liz and I have been FaceTiming or attempting to FaceTime every night after 5pm my time. We tried 4pm for a while, but that left me virtually no time to get home after work. We still have some days where Liz can't call, but we still text!
Our calls tend to mostly be about my days, my friends, plans for what to do when Liz gets back, and more. I ask Liz about her day, but she doesn't spill much. Nothing cagey, just in a same old same old kind of way.
She gives me the vaguest details about the movie. A part of me wants to know what's going to happen in the film so bad, but Liz tells me it'll spoil the MCU, and she's right because, of course, she's right. Plus, she warns me that Kevin Feige has eyes and ears everywhere. You would think this guy is a mob boss or something.
We also talk about her sisters. Liz has started trying to talk to them on a weekly basis, although, accordingly to Liz, MK has been more MIA lately.
I know why.
A couple of days after MK left my place, I told Liz how MK got Naomi to sign the papers. To say Liz was displeased would be an understatement.
I don't know how I did it, but I got Liz not to hulk out at her sister and to let me handle the situation. But the truth behind that is... MK technically hasn't spoken to me since that day.
That's not to say I haven't tried. I texted MK the night she left.
I told her that I've grown fond of the person she is. She's caring, kind, and nothing but supportive. I apologized for getting mad at her. I told her that I support her and genuinely want what is best for her. I let her know that I will be here for her no matter what because I know she will be here for me.
Or at least, I hope.
I also texted her that I love her as well. I love the person she is.
That does not mean I love her as more than a friend.
She read all those texts but hasn't responded to me personally. She texts in the group chat with Ash and myself, but it's never directly to me.
Since returning to LA, Ash has seemed to notice that something is off. We've briefly talked a couple of times, but I can't bring myself to tell anyone the true reason. I feel like Ash knows but is letting it be.
In other news, James, Max's brother, finally left after another week of mooching off his sister. Just kidding but for real, he up and left for California. I know Max has some family out there, but I'm not sure if James went to them or not. But for the next two days after he landed, every single picture he posted included #JamesGoesWest.
I knew he was teasing because of Liz's and mines relationship. Speaking more on that! I went back and finished Wind River. I legit had to skip through that one scene. But overall, I loved the movie! Men are gross, and Liz played her role perfectly. The chemistry she had with Jeremy Renner was incredible. I'd like to see them do more together.
But if we're talking natural chemistry, all I can say is... I never wanted to be Aubrey Plaza more in my life than during the press tour of Ingrid Goes West. Yes, I've seen the YouTube videos, interviews, and photo shoots. I now know I was never Liz's "first." I mean, yes, I knew that already from the night Liz and I had at her place, but now I'm full-on convinced her and Aubrey were more than friends at some point.
Liz knows I watched those two movie and will be watching all of her MCU movies, but she's begged me not to watch a film she did called Oldboy. I looked up the synopsis, and it seems interesting, but Liz is adamant about me not seeing it.
Speaking of the MCU and their movies, this week is finally Avengers week! Out of everything I watched, Captain America and Iron Man 2 are my favorites. Captain America because I loved the story and Bucky so much. And Iron Man 2 for... Natasha. I'm sorry, but I never wanted to be a heavy-set white man more than when she took down Happy.
Lizard knows of my newfound obsession with Scarlett Johansson, and let's just say we starting banning a few words. The first time I mentioned how sexy I thought Natasha looked, I could instantly tell something had shifted. Liz didn't say anything at first. She just sat quietly on the other side of the phone, watching me like I was her prey. She had her jaw clenched so tight I thought teeth were going to break, and then out of the blue, Liz was tired and had to get to bed.
The call ended shortly after that leaving me confused until my dumb brain realized why. I called her back and made it up to her in a memorable way.
A few words that aren't banned are "Mommy." "Yes." & "Please." Liz and I have done a fantastic job trading those off.
Sam is good! Max and I have gone out with her and her friends a couple of times, nothing too crazy, thankfully. Max and I have also started exercising together again. Not daily, but we've been trying for three times a week. It's usually before work, but other times it's once Liz and I finish FaceTiming.
Work is still good. Alec is good. All in all, everything is going well. Liz wraps filming this Friday, so I can't wait to have her in my arms!
Speaking of which, I have to text her.
Liz POV
It's now been three weeks since Y/N and I made our relationship official! Yes, I know we immediately became girlfriends after saying we'd take things slow. Oh well.
I love Y/N so fucking much, but FaceTiming every night gets tiring. Don't get me wrong, I love seeing her cute freckled face, but there are times when I'm just so exhausted from shooting that I can't bring myself to answer a FaceTime call. But luckily for me, I have an understanding and supportive girlfriend.
Girlfriend. That's a word I don't think I will get tired of saying.
Speaking on that, I told my girlfriend that filming wraps on Friday. It doesn't. It wraps today. I plan on flying out first thing tomorrow morning to surprise her! Max already knows and plans on picking me up from the airport. I got her number from MK. I know, ooh, sneaky, but it's the things you do for love.
I'm incredibly excited to see how the world reacts to this movie. I acted my heart out, and I know when I walk on set today, I'm going to cry. I've always finished these movies not knowing what was next for Wanda, but when Sam yells "cut" for the final time, I know it will feel like the last time.
I've been talking to my sisters about the motions I've been going through, and Ash has been kind enough to try and speak to me about it. Meanwhile, MK can barely get a sentence together. I'm not mad at her for what she did with Naomi. I mean, yes, I was. But not anymore, so I don't know why she's being weird about us.
In addition to my sisters, I have also been texting someone else. Someone that knows about Y/N. But someone that Y/N doesn't know about herself.
Wanda's other half. Actor for the Vision. Mr. Paul Bettany.
I missed him. I missed being on set with him. I missed hearing him laugh at the stupid things I'd say. I missed hearing him talk about his wife non-stop. He's truly a lifelong friend that I'm so thankful to have met at such a crucial moment in my life.
That's a feeling that I have for Y/N. She came to me at just the right moment. I know that I won't let her go.
Over the course of filming, Paul and I would send check-in texts here and there, but our conversations didn't become something quite serious until the articles about me leaving the Doctor Strange set came out. That's when Paul said he knew something was wrong. Since I'm never one to "create drama" or "be a total bitch."
Paul texted me that Easter Sunday. A day before, I met Y/N. Paul was actually the first one to know the news about Robbie and I. He loves Robbie, so for him to hear everything broke him a little, but Paul helped me as much as he could. Or as much as I was willing to let him. He promised that everything we discussed would stay between us because we all know. Snitches end up in ditches!
Paul was also the one to tell me to get my shit together and to send coffee and treats to the NY Marvel team if I wanted to keep people happy.
I guess I have Paul to thank for Y/N. Oh God, I can't let that get to his head.
Speaking of Paul and Vision. My Coffee Girl has been continuing her journey of watching the MCU. I think tonight is Avengers night. I think she has some hope I'm going to show up in this one, but sadly I don't. I'm sure Y/N won't really mind since she has Scarlett and her Black Widow ass to look at all movie.
I know that's not nice and unfair to Scarlett, but I don't like Y/N having her eyes on someone else.
I made that very clear the other night.
Over the last couple of weeks, in addition to filming, FaceTiming, and keeping me and my girlfriend satisfied, I started emptying out the Richmond house. Like I did with my trailer, I started small but quickly moved on to bigger things.
I sent Robbie back a lot of the things he left behind. I donated some of my stuff but kept the tiniest of things that remind me of the good times I had while here. After today the house will no longer be ours. That is if I actually did remember to grab everything?
Uh, speaking of Robbie. He's doing so well, and I'm so proud of him. He's been doing AA meetings once a week. Every week I send him a text just letting him know that he's in my thoughts, and I wish him luck. He sends me a text back, basically saying the same thing.
Thankfully the media isn't dragging Robbie through the mud just because he's trying to better his life. I think back to how they treated my sisters, and it makes me sick. If I could have the opposite for Robbie, I'll do it.
Robbie doesn't ask about Y/N; instead, he asks me, "are you happy?" The answer has always been "yes." Robbie's response is always the same "then I'm happy."
I got lucky with an ex like him, huh?
It's almost 10am, and I finally have the finishing touches to my look for today's scene. 838 Wanda comforting Darkhold Scarlet Witch. How fitting that my last day is me letting myself know that it's going to be okay. That our boys will be okay.
Oh, I'm getting depressed just thinking about it.
"Lizzie, you ready?" A member of the makeup team looks me over and waits for my response. I nod and go to get up before my phone stops me. I take a quick glance. Is that really who I think it is?
"Just give me a minute." I turn to the crew they nod, heading out of my trailer.
Y/N POV
Annnnddd sent! I smile down at my phone. The text wasn't anything too crazy special. Let's not forget I just woke up.
The text was just myself reminding Liz that I'm lucky to have her. That I'm so thankful to have someone caring and loving chose me to be the person that they love. That someone with her wits and beauty makes me smile and feel the support that I feel. And I can't wait to be able to hold her and to kiss that gorgeous face. To be able to physically look into her eyes. The eyes that make me smile. The eyes that make me feel safe. The eyes that are the literal definition of: If looks could kill.
I could've gone on and on with my text, but I have to save something for when she's here at the end of the week. I close my phone out, knowing she'll probably read it when she gets back from filming, meaning I can go back to sleep before getting up for my shift later today.
I turn over and close my eyes. Letting tiredness take me over once ag-
BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ
I peek one of my eyes open as I grab my phone. It can't be Liz. She should be- Oh! It is Liz! She's calling me! I clear my throat and answer the phone.
"Hello?"
Liz POV
"Just who do you think you are, Ms. Y/N Y/L/N! Sending a cute ass text like that. You're supposed to be sleeping!"
Y/N: "You're supposed to be filming!"
She fires back in that voice that's just so sexy in the early morning.
"I was about to step out of my trailer when my girlfriend decided to send me the most simp-filled text ever."
I can practically hear her eyes rolling.
"Why aren't you asleep right now."
Y: "I set an alarm to text you. Since I know it's your last week of filming, I just wanted to try and make it extra special for you."
My heart.
I move around the trailer like a teenager on the phone with their first crush.
Y: "I mean, if you don't like it-"
"Stop! You know I love it!" There's a pause. "Are you going to do this for every film I do?" Y/N's laugh fills my ears.
Y: "Hell yeah. I'd give you the world if I could."
"You already did that."
I hear Y/N yawn before asking, "what do you mean?"
"Because you're my world!"
Y/N POV
This fucking cheese ball, I swear. I roll my eyes again.
"I think I hear Mr. Raimi calling you to set Olsen. I wouldn't want to get in trouble or anything."
Liz lets out a small laugh.
Liz: "Oh, weird, I don't hear him?"
Y: "Hmm, that's so weird. What's happening? Hearing loss at your age already, Liz?"
I know her jaw dropped.
L: "Okay, wow fuck you, Y/L/N."
"You wish, Liz!"
L: "You know wh- one sec."
I hear Liz pulls her phone away from her ear as a series of knocks are happening nearby her. They must need her on set.
I don't know who she's talking to, but she assures them she'll be right out.
L: "Hey babe, I gotta go."
"I figured. Have a great day today! Can I call you on my break? Oh, and I can't wait to see you at the end of this week!"
L: "Of course, and I can't either!" I can practically picture her biting her thumbnail as she says this: "I love you, Y/N."
"I love you too, Lizard! Now go be a movie star!"
Liz giggles as she ends the call. Leaving me awake, alone, and horny?
No? Yes? I don't know.
I flip over onto my stomach and groan into my pillow. I really don't want to be up already. After a minute of feeling my body wake up, I decide to fuck it.
I throw my comforter off my body and go into my bathroom. I flick on the light and look at myself in the mirror. I think about when I did this not so long ago. I stared at myself before my date with Liz. It was the first time I looked at my own face with love instead of disgust. I do the same thing now. I smile at the person looking back at me.
I reach down and pull my toothbrush from its holder. Put a small glob of toothpaste, rinse and get to the brushing. Morning breath is one of my least favorite things. Or at least it quickly has been. Okay, I don't want breath to ever smell in the presence of Liz, okay? I'd die.
After my morning routine, I slip off my underwear and oversized t-shirt in favor of a classic workout outfit. Nothing crazy this morning, just a morning jog. It's now approaching 5:30, so it should still be quiet outside.
I reach my front door and drop down to tie on my old sneakers. They're a pair that I've had for years. I don't even remember how I got them or who gave them to me, but they probably know more about me than I do about myself.
Okay, now I sound crazy—time to run. I put my AirPods in, queue up whatever playlist Spotify curated for me and leave my place.
Liz POV
I did it! "That's a wrap on Elizabeth Olsen!" Sam Raimi yells into a bullhorn earning applause from the cast and crew that surround us.
I clap along, stopping whenever I feel a tear start to escape my eyes. Cumberbatch wraps an arm around my shoulders and pulls me into a side hug before whispering into the top of my head, earning a smile and a laugh from me.
Sam walks up to me, and I instantly find myself wrapped up into a hug. I almost feel my eyes betray me, but I stop the dam from breaking. Sam leans into me and asks, "do you want to say a few words?"
This is something I haven't really ever done. Usually, I'm in such a considerable ensemble of a movie that who cares what the 9th billed person has to say, but this is my movie. So why not?
I nod at Sam and grab the bullhorn.
"First off, I'd just like to say thank you to everyone here. All of you truly have made this experience so beautiful and lovely." I bite my lower lip before continuing.
"When we were about to go back to finishing WandaVision, I was pitched the actual story of the Doctor Strange sequel, and I was shocked!" I throw my arms out in a charismatic manner. "No one told me that their plan for me was to be the villain!" This earns a few laughs from the crew and myself. "You know? But it's like yeah! Why does Wanda have to settle for being good when all that she wants is something that seems so small and simple, which is for her to be with her kids."
I look over at Sam, smiling. He's a real Wanda stan this man. He and I had so much fun bouncing ideas off one another and relishing in the character of Wanda.
"But you know I love Wanda Maximoff, and I feel honored to have played her for the last 7 to 8 years and to collaborate with such kind and caring people. I truly do." I feel a tear slip out and run down my cheek. "And if this is the end for her, then I'm glad that... that I gave it my all." I want to say more, but I can feel my throat choking back tears. Plus, when I look up, it's all of these people watching me. "So thank you. Thank you all!" I frown to hold back my emotions as Sam wraps me into another hug. He gently takes the bullhorn from me and announces, "give it up for our witch, everybody!" Earning another wave of claps.
Y/N POV
It's now just past 9am for me as I enter our coffee shop. Busy. It's finally starting to heat up around here, which means it's time for all the cool kids and soccer moms to start ordering frozen drinks. My least favorite. It's not hard to make. It's just annoying.
I smile once I see the two people I'm going to work with. Sam and Alec. Sam greets me as I put my stuff into the back. "I promise you it was not this busy until like 20 minutes ago." I shrug. "Happens." Sam noticed. "You good?" We make our way back to the front employee area so I can clock in. "Yeah, just tired. I woke up super early and decided to get a run in." "Ew." "Trust me, I know." I scoot past Alec and clock in. I say hi to him, but he awkwardly avoids me. Okay weird.
"Excuse me?" A customer knocks me from my own brain. Male. He has to be in his late thirties with tattoos down his arms. "Hello, sir. What can we get started for you?" The man looks at the boards stationed above and behind me. "What kind of frozen drinks do you have?" Yep, it's going to be a long day. I must've made a face because I can hear Sam laugh in my direction.
Liz POV
I sigh after getting my suitcase settled into my hotel room for the night. After leaving the sound stages today, I made my way to Richmond to do one last look-over of the house. Go figure; nothing was left for me to take or do. So mark another one for overthinking and having anxiety. But eh, oh well.
It's now just after 6pm for me. If she hasn't had her break, my Coffee Girl will have one soon - speak of the Devil! As if it's her superpower, she is now FaceTiming me.
I throw my back onto the bed and answer my phone.
She's walking to the back room of the shop. She sits in the same place every time we talk on her break. I think it's adorable. I think she's really cute. And by cute, I mean hot.
Okay, dial it back, Lizzie.
She has the camera below her right now, so I'm looking up to her neck. It looks like she has a coffee ground stained onto her neck. How she did that, I have no idea. I smile as I look at it. Imagine how long it's been there. My eyes move down her throat, and I stop at every tiny freckle and mole I see.
"Whatcha doing, love?" Oh shit, just because I can't see her doesn't mean she can't see me.
"Looking at my love!" "Oh yeah?" She moves the camera up, so I can see her beautiful face as she sits down. My girlfriend smiles back at me before her face becomes horrified. "Oh my God!" The alarms in my brain start going off. "What? What's wrong!" She begins wiping at her neck. "Why did you not tell me that was there!" Oh my gosh. Really Y/N? "I just saw that! Besides, I thought it was cute." I flare my eyebrows up, causing her to do it back.
"So, how was today?" She starts. The gears start moving. I really want to tell Y/N all about the end of the shoot, but that'll ruin my surprise. Okay, quick, Liz think.
"It was good! Really good! But I'm not giving you anything, and you know this!" She rolls her eyes. "I know. I just can't wait."
"Isn't Avengers tonight?" I ask, slightly changing the topic. "Tomorrow night. Max is busy tonight. I think it's with Flirty, but I'm not sure. She's been being a little cagey lately." Y/N shrugs and looks up to something. Maybe one of her co-workers. "What will you do tonight?" I ask with a slight frown. "Probably watch one of your movies." She states matter of factly and looks down, grinning before taking a sip of her tea. Wait tea? She never drinks tea.
"Tea?!" She looks at me wide-eyed and embarrassed. "Yeah..." "Since when are you a tea drinker?" "Since I watched a YouTube video about how Elizabeth Olsen loves tea and how she has a whole cabinet dedicated to tea packets." I blush. I love and hate that she watches videos of me because it's the cutest thing ever, but I'm afraid she'll find a video of me doing something dumb and judge me. I know she wouldn't, but a girl can stress, can't she?
"Liz." She pulls me out of my small spiral. "Hmm?" "You know I'm only doing it because I love you. And I want to love the things you love." I smile. "I know." I scrunch my nose up at her. Now she blushes and shakes her head. "What you thinking about?" "Just how lucky I am." She makes sure her eyes are on me. "I meant my text this morning. Every word." "I know, baby."
Now I'm the one watching her, getting lost in thought. We sit admiring each other. Eyes filled with admiration. "My turn, Lizard. Whatcha thinking about?" I use to hate the nickname Lizard, but when she says it, it makes me feel safe. "Tomorrow." "Tomorrow? What's tomorrow?" My body tenses up. Oh shit. I didn't mean to say that! What's tomorrow? Uhhh...
Before I can even come up with a horrible lie, Y/N unknowingly saves me. "Let me guess, secret marvel stuff?" I nod. "You got it, Y/L/N." "Ugh, boorrinnggg." She dramatically sings out. "You'll just have it wait and see." "Yeah yeah." She smiles at me before looking up at her phone. I know she's checking the time. Before she frowns, I do. I know what this means.
"Liz, come on." What?" "I see you pouting." Well, duh, I want you off the clock, Y/N. "Can't you just quit?" Y/N raises an eyebrow to me. "After the phone call, I just had with my mom?"
I'm not asking her to quit, but yes leaving her job would almost certainly make her mom explode. Yeah, Y/N told me everything that happened. That was a rough night for her.
"You're right." "Always am." I scoff. "Not true. You know it goes me, Max, and then you." She puts a hand over her heart and gasps. "Betrayed."
"Y/N, you almost don- oh, sorry." Y/N looks up to the person talking to her. Sounds like Sam? I've only ever overheard Sam, never met her. Y/N said she knows about us and has kept her lifelong mission to protect our secret. She must've noticed Y/N was on the phone still. "Just one second."
Y/N looks back down at me. "I know. I know." I exhale out, not wanting her to go. "Don't worry, love. I'll text you when I get home, okay?" "Okay" "Just a couple more days, and then I finally have you in my arms again," I smirk. "You have no idea."
"Later, Liz!"
"See you soon, Y/N!"
She blows me a kiss before hanging up. I hold my hand with the caught kiss still in it.
"I love you, Coffee Girl."
Y/N POV
"Was that who I think it was?" Sam asks me as I come back to the bare-bones shop. I look at her. "Always is." "Wow." I can see her getting lost in thought, and she looks at me before she's completely gone. "Sorry." "With you? I'm used to it."
We both start to clean behind the bar while Alec takes care of the dining area. "When do you think you'll go public?" Sam asks, just quiet enough for only us to hear it. "Not for a while," I answer in the same manner. "Why are tabloids looking for a scoop?" I raise my eyebrow at her just to watch the panic in her eyes.
"Oh my god Y/N! No, I was just genuinely asking! I'm sorry for making you thin-" "Sam. Sam! I'm just kidding. I'm sorry." I start laughing. I know I shouldn't, but she makes it fun and easy. Sam catches her breath. "I should leak it after that." She grumbles. I walk over to her and pull her into a side hug. "I'm sorry, blueberry." "I still hate that name." "No, you don't," I say, letting go of her. I don't think she meant for me to hear it, but she mumbles, "No, I don't."
_
I text Liz letting her know that I should be home within the hour. I'm literally right outside my building, but I'm giving myself enough time to take a shower and get dressed comfy cozy before I round up whatever I can for dinner. Liz promised me to take me grocery shopping and to cook for me, so I'm honestly holding out for that.
I enter my apartment and smile at the state of it. Over the course of the weeks, I've gotten in a couple of movie posters and art from Etsy of things that I forgot I loved. Plus, I got some journals to start writing in again. It's looking more like home. All that's missing is some finishing touches.
I skip through my place and peel off todays clothes, tossing them into my dirty hamper. I grab a set of sweats to wear after my shower and charge into the bathroom. As I let the hot water get the bathroom just right, I play on my phone, watching TikTok. After two minutes, I close the app out and load some music to blast while I get myself clean.
_
As soon as I wrap my large green towel around me, I check my phone after I heard it go off in the shower. I smile at the sight of Liz but frown as I read her text.
"Yay! Glad, you made it home, love. So I'm not going to beat around the bush, Y/N. I just got informed that I have to go extra early tomorrow. Since it's the last week, I want to do it and get this done, so is it okay if we don't call tonight? I'm probably going to be going to bed soon, but I won't sleep until I get a text from you. I'm sorry, my love. 💛"
It's just a couple of more days, Y/N. You got this. Be a supportive girlfriend.
I text Liz back, saying that it's okay and that I love her so much and for her to please call me in the morning so I can hear her angelic voice.
_
I huff at how skim my fridge is looking. I decide to snack on a bowl of grapes before finding myself in front of my tv. I open my notes app and look at a list I made recently. Called: 🎥 My little star 💫
It's a list of all of Liz's movies, excluding the MCU. Not knowing what to watch, I text Max knowing she'll know what's good to watch.
Mad ❤️‍🔥 Max Today 4:31 PM
Godzilla or  Silent House?
I close out our texts and open an app called JustWatch. It's an app where you can search for any movie you want and see what platform it's on. It's great for someone like me who is catching up on a lot of movies. It looks like Godzilla is on Netflix, while the other movie I'd have to rent. This makes my choice a little easier.
I text Max back, letting her know I decided, and she sends me a thumbs up. Yeah, she's busy. She only uses emojis when her hands are occupied.
I open Netflix on my tv, and after a quick search, I see him, that giant Lizard. Hey Lizard! My lizard's in a lizard movie! I chuckle to myself and go to play the movie before my phone buzzes.
I look down expecting Liz again, but to my shock, it's Mary-Kate. The breath that I took sent a green grape flying to the back of my throat, causing me to stand up, gasping for air as I managed to swallow the whole ass grape. "Jesus fucking Christ!" I yell out, gripping my neck.
After collecting myself, I bring myself back to my phone to open and look at the text that nearly killed me.
"Hey. Can we talk?"
Vague. Of course.
I let the message sit there as I think about the last couple of weeks.
I text her.
"Yes. Of course. My place?"
She agrees and tells me she'll be around in the next half hour. Someone's eager! Okay, sorry, not the time.
I should text Liz, but she has an early start tomorrow, and I don't want to stress her out. Plus. I want to hear what MK has to say before I do anything. I put my phone down and continue the movie. I need a distraction.
_
Okay, what the fuck? Where's my girl? I saw her once so far, and that's it?
A knock comes to my door just in time. I let out a frustrated sigh and pause the movie. I hop up, suspecting who it is, and open the door. Yep, it's MK.
"Hey," I told myself, I'd treat her like a friend and like nothing happened. I usher for her to come in, and she follows me. I close the door behind us. I catch her eyes and take a look at my tv.
I see a smile creep onto her face. "What's that look for?" I ask in a teasing tone. "Just... you're a simp now." She points to the tv, causing us to both laugh, breaking the tension around us. "Yeah, I am." I agree.
"Do you need a drink or anything? Water? Tea?" "Tea? You don't drink tea." "It's new." I simply state as I walk into the kitchen to fill up a cup of water. "Maybe next time." Oh, so there is going to be a next time!? So friends, maybe?
I come back and place the water in front of her. She reaches over and takes a sip as I sit on the other end of the couch. I can see how nervous she is just in her hands. She keeps fidgeting and wiping them off. I don't know if I should do this, but...
I scoot myself closer to her and take her hands into my own. "It's okay." MK shakes her head at me. "No, it's not. I almost ruined everything." "MK, no, you didn't." "Y/N, I went behind your back and-" "And you did something great for Liz and me. I shouldn't have gotten mad at you. I just hate the thought of anyone I know ever contacting her. I just didn't want anything to happen to you." MK goes quiet as I continue running my thumbs over her knuckles.
"Thank you," I whisper out to her. "I missed you," I add on. I watch MK's eyes look up before she darts them away, looking around the room. She's trying. "You added some things." I look around with her. "Yeah. It was missing some things."
I feel her eyes back on me, so I turn my head to face her. "I missed you too." I smile to her, and she returns one back. "Can I hug you?" She asks me. "Come here." I open my arms up to her, and she rushes in. She squeezes me tight, and I know it's all her worries, and apologizes leaving her body. "Thank you." She says into my neck.
"You're always welcome."
We pull apart from one another and just sit hand in hand. "Do you have plans tonight?" I ask, not knowing what to do now. "I thought this conversation was going to go on a lot longer, so no, I don't." She laughs. "Take out?" I suggest.
MK bites her lip and nods. "I'd like that." I go to get up, but she stops me. "Friends?" She asks. I give her a look because I thought the answer was obvious. "Friends." I give her a quick hug. "How about you pick the food tonight since we're at my place," I suggest. "Whatever I want?" "As long as it's not poisoned." "Damn it," She giggles as I get up and make myself tea.
As I finish up my tea, a series of knocks interrupts the calm silence MK, and I had going.
"Am I crazy, or is that the food?" "Not me." MK looks at me with a worried look. That's a little concerning.
I walk up to the door. "Hello?"
I get a muffled "hello, Y/N!" back.
Fuck I know that voice.
MK must have noticed my dejected face and body language. "Who's that?" "You'll see." I watch her give me a confused look before holding my hand up, telling her it'll be okay. I hope.
I open the door, and in the most monotone voice I can manage, I speak up. "Hello, mother."

Silver Linings
It turns out, that getting retired from the Desire Grand Prix turned out to be the start of something new in Sumuda's life.
FFN I Ao3
A/N: This is very self-indulgent. I've always thought that because the DGP alters the memories and tweaks the desires of each contestant upon retiring. So I totally saw Da-paan being friendly and whatnot after getting retired. He even has a group of friends.
Then Beroba appeared.
---------
Sumida was with his friends, friends who he thought took pity on him for his injury and pushed them away but they were persistent.
Nowadays, he's enjoying their company, and suddenly, he doesn't view life as agonizing and lonely anymore.
Then his memories came back.
Sumida had been in the middle of a conversation when it happened. He had been laughing at a joke one of his friends made when he suddenly stopped midway. Confused about what was happening, it had been months since he was last in the Grand Prix, and he tried to act like nothing was wrong.
But of course, his friends immediately knew what was up.
Sumida passed it off as his old injury acting up, he didn't know there was a time that he could use his old injury as an excuse.
Silver Linings.
While in the middle of reassuring his friends, a really familiar voice spoke up.
"People sure change so much, huh?"
"I-is that A-ace-sama!"
Of all the times for that Geats to appear.
"Yo, Ge-Ace," He almost slipped. "What do you want?"
"Eeeeh?! Sumida-kun, you know Ace-sama?" One of his friends shrieked. "I'm so jealous!"
"I'll introduce you later, it seems like Ace-sama wants to talk to me."
"I'm so jealous! You personally know Ace-sama!" Another one of his friends gushed.
"Damn, Sumida, you know a celebrity, I sure wish I also know celebrities like you do."
"Trust me, it's not all that," Sumida smiled but he shook his head. "Please give us some space, it seems like Ace-sama wants to tell me something."
"Okay, see you in class, Sumida-kun." Another classmate giggled.
As soon as the Sumida's friends left the two of them, Sumida glared at the visitor.
"What are you doing here, Geats?" Sumida growled. "Why do I remember everything in the Desire Grand Prix, now?"
"I'm a god now so I restored all of the memories of every Desire Grand Participant." Ace smirked.
"Did you win another Desire Grand Prix and wished yourself to be a god, then?" Sumida asked. "If so, why'd you make me remember, you do still remember what I did in the game, right?"
"Because you are all entitled to your memories and desires and the DGP stole that from you." Ace shook his head.
"Let me tell you the full story."
---------
"That…"
"As you can see, I'm preparing if some of the supporters from the future would approach you."
"Will you just be visiting anyone who acted like I used to be in the games, surely I can't be the only one who wished for the world to burn." Sumida asked.
"No, Morio is overseas now, answering for his crimes, and the others, well let's just say you two are the only ones who were lucky to survive the Grand Prix."
"Their hubris got to them." Sumida nodded.
Sumida realized what could have been his fate had he proceeded to the next round instead of the runaway princess.
"So what do I do if they do approach me, it's not like you're an actual god who's omnipresent and omniscient."
"Just pretend and do what do what they want you to do," Ace stated. "It can't be that hard."
"Oi, oi, you can't be serious!" Sumida stood up in protest. "What if they tell me to shoot them? What then?"
Sumida angrily gestured in the direction his friends walked to.
"No, I'm sure they won't do that, they're too focused on themselves to be able to think that," Ace assured. "Not to worry, if anything happens Tsumuri will inform me right away, I can even have Buffa or Tycoon patrol near the school."
"Wait, Tycoon? That Tanuki guy?"
"He's a formidable fighter, Dapaan, he can even fight the Pawn Jamato untransformed."
"Seriously?"
------------
"I'm sorry for attacking you!"
Sumida bowed in front of Neon and Michinaga as soon as both Ace and Keiwa disappeared and Tsumuri collapsed.
"Haaaa?!"
"So that's how Ace knew that you'd be coming for me." Neon exclaimed.
"Oi, Na-go, what's going on?" Michinaga looked at his companion.
"No, explanations can wait, we need to bring Tsumuri-chan back to the lounge." Neon shook her head.
"Am I even allowed to go there?"
"You're a Rider, your belt and ID core didn't disappear, I don't see why not." Neon shrugged.
"Wait, is that another person beside her?" Sumida cut in as he looked at the unconscious Navigator."
"Punk Jack!"
"He must have been in danger when Ace recreated the world, so he teleported him to where Tsumuri-chan is."
"Oi, Dapaan, you handle Tsumuri, I handle Punk Jack."
-------------
"So Ace approached you," Win hummed. "That guy really thinks steps ahead of everyone else." Win shook his head with a smile.
"You had no choice."
"If I'm understanding this correctly, you were reintroduced to Tycoon by the supporters."
"He was in rough shape," Sumida shared his observations. "From what I heard, that Kekera person orchestrated his family's second death simply by instructing the rider he approached where to attack and let him attack to his heart's content."
"And Beroba got a hold of my Akari-chan's kidnapper," Neon stated her own conclusions. "They're ruthless."
"Too cruel if you ask me." Sumida shook his head.
"So what's next for you, Dapaan?" Win asked.
"To return these," Sumida retrieved his Driver and buckles he had been given and placed them on the couch. "Na-go mentioned that everyone can be happy, I already found mine."
"I'm so happy for you, Kanato-kun." Neon smiled at the boy who had attacked her and her mother earlier in the day. "I'm genuinely happy for you, we all are, and I'm sure Ace is too."
"Are you sure, Dapaan?" Win asked. "We could use someone like you."
"I think the four of them have it handled." Sumida gestured towards Michinaga and Neon.
------------
"Tycoon," Sumida had spotted the man on his way to school.
"Heh, you know the Kamen Rider Sumida-kun?" One of his friends squealed. "You also know Ace-sama, I'm so jealous."
"I've known Tycoon before," Kanato shook his head. "Go on ahead, I just want to catch up a bit."
"Okay~!" His friends nodded. "You better tell us if you know anyone else famous!" They chorused.
"The next thing that will happen is Neon-chan approaching you, you better tell us if you know her!"
"Hai, hai." Sumida shook his head.
"So, we'll go first! Don't take too long, you know how finicky the teachers are if you are even a second late."
"Hai, hai."
Sumida waved at his friends as they walked to their school.
"So, I take it you didn't have a choice when you joined Beroba that day?" Tycoon spoke from behind him, he had the decency to wait until his friends were out of earshot.
"You could say that," Sumida nodded. "I wanted to apologize for my words that day."
"No need," Tycoon smiled at the boy. "You were speaking facts and had it not been for you, I would have given my all into fighting Ace that day."
"You were holding back?" Sumida's eyes widened.
"You didn't notice?" Tycoon questioned. "Ace and I were holding back that time."
"If that fight was the both of you holding back, I don't want to see you two fight together or against each other at full power."
Sumida shivered at the thought of having to fight two powerful enemies.
"Just so you know, Neon-chan's plenty powerful as well."
Tycoon had the audacity to mention that, Sumida knew firsthand how powerful Na-go had gotten.
"I know, I had to shoot her mother to keep up appearances and gain the favor of the supporters and their audience."
"So it was like a test for you to be able to meet me?" Tycoon hummed. "I wouldn't put it past them, Kekera was viewing like a killing machine he had helped create, and Beroba just loved capitalizing on people's misery."
"Still, they're gone now," Sumida sighed. "At least, I know Kekera's dead."
"Michinaga-san also defeated Beroba." Tycoon informed.
"Your four just got more powerful since I left the game, huh."
"And we endured too much for us to gain this power, sometimes I question if this power was worth it compared to the suffering we four went through." Tycoon answered.
"You're right." Sumida realized the amount of suffering Tycoon went through, if it was comparable to his, then the others had suffered too much too.
"Shouldn't you be going to school now?" Tycoon smiled at the man.
"Crap!" Sumida's eyes widened. "I'm really sorry for everything I did up to this point!" He bowed.
"No," Tycoon pulled him to a standing position but his hands stayed on his shoulders. "You don't have to apologize for anything."
"Thank you."
"Still, I'm glad you turned out alright Sumida-kun. There's at least one thing the Desire Grand Prix has brought this world," Tycoon gave a smile. "Silver Linings."
Sumida smiled at Tycoon, it's good that he can still see something good for the myriad of bad things to happen to him.
"You should hurry to school now; I'm also heading for work."
"Crap! Thank you again, Tycoon!"
"You're welcome."

From Brush to Heart (a bang chan fanfic) CHAPTER 4
Pairings: Bang Chan/Rebecca(OC), Han/Luna(OC) Genre: Romcom
For the next few weeks, I got Luna acquainted with the few necessities to get around outside. I got her a new phone number, got her registered in korean classes and some days I would let her follow the map on her phone whenever we were out. We even visited Just Java and had their coffee. It was the yummiest coffee I've ever had. We enjoyed every bit of the time we had with each other. Luckily, we started our work next month also so it was great to know that she won't be home alone.
"Hey, Luna, do you want to try tteokbokki?" I ask as I scroll through the menu on my phone. "I'll tell them to make it very mild."
"Sure!"
I find a restaurant with good reviews and order on the food app. "Okay, our order will be here soon. I even ordered fried chicken." 
As we wait for the food to arrive, I turn on the tv to pass time. "Hey, what if you get to work for Stray Kids?"
"Doubtful," I say flipping through channels.
"Hey now. Don't underestimate your skills." 
"I'm not. I just don't want my first day to work THE group. What if I say something really embarrassing?"
"Then you'll have something to tell your grandkids." I hit her arm as she laughs. "Relax. You'll do fine, trust me."
Our food finally arrives and we eat as we watch tv. I even teach her some words in Korean when she asks me. We finish eating our dinner and soon we start getting ready for bed. After doing my skin care, I settle myself in my bed and turn off the light. Let's hope Luna is right about me doing well at my job next month. I promise myself that whoever I will end up with, I will give it my best.
---------------------------------------------------------------- Next month rolls around pretty fast and I get more and more nervous which I shouldn't be feeling. A few days ago, I went out and registered for a Korean name: Kim Na Eun. Only Luna and I know about this though.
Luna finally started working at the coffee shop today and I'm standing in front of my mirror as I examine my outfit. I'm wearing a beige button shirt with a long black jean skirt and white sneakers. Giving myself pep talk before I head out. "You got this, Becca."
It takes me half hour to reach JYPE and soon I'm in the HR department filling out some forms. I get introduced to my team members and soon I'm following one of the staff members, Yujin, down towards the makeup rooms. She told me I'll also be meeting the group that I will be assigned to. She introduced me to other makeup artists and I was surprised that everyone was so friendly which made me feel at ease somewhat.
She leads me to another room full of makeup vanities. There were a total of 12 chairs and even had a couch at one end. "They should be arriving shortly." I smile at her as I wait with her. I admire all the vanities that had makeup products laid out along with hair tools. The door opens and I hear the commotion of a couple of guys laughing and talking but I don't turn around as I'm still looking at all the makeup stations. "Becca-ssi!"
"Ne," I turn around and I suddenly wish I was still home. 
"These are the guys I was talking about. You're assigned to them." 
Back home, whatever I did, whether it was school work or job wise, it wasn't ever good enough for my father. I wanted to learn dancing when I was 15 but took my money pot away that I had been saving since I was 10. I wanted to learn ballet, dad called the ballet dance school and had them deny my admission. Whatever it was, it wasn't worth my while because he wanted me to become a surgeon like him. So he had me studying 24/7 till I collapsed and was on bed rest for 3 months. Even then, he gave me stuff to do related to medicine. Since then, I always did what he wanted me to do. Till last year, I did whatever made him happy. But when I finally stood up, he crushed my dreams.
I was very glad because I got all certifications, even international ones, for this moment all thanks to Luna. Of course, she was on my side the entire time. If it wasn't for her, I don't know how I could've dealt with all the stress. She pushed me and told me give it all my best. And thats's exactly what I did. Living in a new country was surreal. Everything was new to me. The food, the environment, the smell in the air. 
But now as I stand in front of 9 handsome men staring back at me, I don't think my life could get any better. All of them introduced themselves to me and I was in awe of their beauty. Each member had their own aura. I glance around and noticed that only 4 out of 9 had different hair colors. I made a mental note to tell Luna later when one of them walked towards me. He had blonde with blue streaks styled hair, eyes that shined like stars and a jawline that was swoon worthy. I couldn't help but stare at him as he stood in front of me. Bang Chan stood in front of me. I know somewhere Luna is kicking her feet in the air. 
"You're not from here, are you?" Bang Chan asked. 
My god. I had seen him a few months ago. I don't know if I can handle this. I mean out of all the boys, he was the one I was most fascinated with. I watched them from their pre-debut days till now. And he's right here. Standing. Looking all glorious. In front of me. And who knew I would be seeing him again. 
"No, I'm from Australia," I replied, containing my posture. 
"Oh, really?" The way his eyes lit up, I wanted take a picture of it. "Which part?"
"Melbourne." I replied. I don't think he remembers me? 
"Ah, the city of night life and architecture," he said, smiling. I think my mental state is not okay at the moment. Seeing his smile was one of my favourite part of him. It always made my day. But to see it in person....
"Yes, but I never got to enjoy it. I like Seoul more," I said. 
"So you'll be our new makeup artist?" He asked. When I'm about say something, the voices come.
"What's your name?" "Does she like ice cream?" "Ask her age!"
All these questions came like a firing round in a game. I burst out laughing but immediately stop when they look at me. "Sorry." 
I looked at all of them and replied in korean, "My name is Rebecca Greywood. I'm 20, korean age 21. And I like chocolate flavor."
It got quiet and I blinked at them looking back at me. "Uh, did I say something wrong?" Even the staff was looking at me. "Uhhh, hello?"
Felix the one with blonde hair, Jeongin with red/pink hair  and Seungmin the one with dark brown hair, skipped towards Bang Chan and smiled. "Noona!"
Noona? Oh my god. I need to call Luna like asap. 
"Yah," Bang Chan said to his kids who immediately went quiet. "Don't scare her. Sorry about them, teenagers and all."
"It's fine," I say, waving them off. Internally, my brain is doing math of Bang Chan's and my age. Oh my god. If I'm 20, and if I'm doing the math right, he's older than me by 2 years. "Nice to meet you all."
All the other members bow and smile at me. And Bang Chan extends his hand towards me. "Welcome to the team."
I look at him and his hand. I raise my hand and shake his hand. "Thank you."
As he's walking back to the members, Yujin comes to me. "Oh I forgot to tell you. You'll be one of the main makeup artist for Bang Chan, Felix, and Han."
Wait, did she say Bang Chan? "Gamsahamnida," I say and look around the room. The eight of them were chatting and fooling around whereas I have only seen them like that on my laptop. I try to compose myeelf but the fangirl inside me wants to scream. I fish out my phone and take a quick selfie with the room behind me and quickly send it Luna. I put my phone on silent. I will have to talk to her when I'm off work. 
One of the staff members claps her hand. "Alright, we have a new member joining is officially today!" She gestures towards me as everyone in the room, including the boys clap welcoming me. I bow and smile. 
"Thank you for having me." I clench my hands trying to get the nerves out.
"Alright, we have a show in a few hours. Felix and Han will be covered today, Rebecca-ssi. So you can get started on Chan."
I don't think I heard her right. Did she just I have to work on him? The man that made the fandom go crazy over his abs? I look at where he's sitting playing games on his phone. Jeez, even sitting down like that he's attractive. Damn, I don't think I'm going to be able to survive this job.
Putting my feelings aside, I walk over to where he's sitting. "Please make yourself comfortable. I'll start by prepping your skin." I turn towards the makeup items laid put for me to use. Wow. They really went out. I quickly study the table and spot the skincare stuff. Picking up on of the moisturizer, I study and frown at the ingredients. "Why are they using this stuff? This will just make your skin dry and break out after," I mutter under my breath. But not my place to say anything so I sanitize my hands before I turn around and start prepping his skin. I use gentle hands and when my fingers touch his cheeks, I nearly swoon over how smooth it is. Holy, I would kill to have this smooth and silky skin. I start the makeup with foundation application followed by concealer to hide any blemishes and blend everything together. 
Once I know the foundation looks great, I put face powder followed by eyebrow shaping and eye makeup. I strictly kept it professional but couldn't help to admire his beauty. When his eyes were closed, I noticed his eyelashes. They weren't long but weren't short either. The last thing that was left were his lips. I gulped when he tilted his head up so I could apply the lip products easily. Gently, I swipe the product over his plump lips. I don't outline his lips that much. "Where do I know you from?"
I freeze and look at him to him looking at me. "Sorry?"
"Have we met before?" He asks.
Yes. It's what I want to say. But I shake my head. "No."
"Oh." He says, still looking at me.
"Okay, you're all done." I say as I put the brush in my hand down beside all the brushes.
"That was fast," he says as he gets up to inspect my work. I watch as he checks his face thoroughly and his eyes go wide at particular spot. It was where he had a blemish or a simply an aftermath of a popped pimple. "You covered it? I can't even tell that it was there. Wow."
I beam at him. "I'm glad you like it." 
"Thank you." He simply smiles warmly at me and I drop a brush, not because I wanted to but because I was transfixed on his smile. I only wish I could've taken a picture. He bends down, picks up the brush and hands it to me.
"Thank you."
"Anytime." Then he leaves to go to the other members. 
I think I need a break. 
----------------------------------------------------------------
I'm currently sitting in the break room having my lunch. A few people were sitting and eating their lunch too. I have my phone in my hand watching a dance practice of one of Stray Kids songs and I almost want to dance to it.....if there weren't people around. I receive a text from Luna.
L: uh, what is that picture of?
B: me with people I'm working for and with.
L: and WHY exactly why do I see the faces of Bang Chan, Han and Seungmin? Felix? 
I stifle a laugh and try not to choke on my food. 
B: that's because I'm their MUA.
L: ....
B: girl, I'll see you when I get home because my lunch just ended.
L: get back here!
I grin as I pack up the leftovers and head out of the break room. But before heading back to work, I hopped in the bathroom to quickly brush my teeth and touch up on my makeup. Once I was done, I head back up to the makeup rooms and see that it's empty. Or what I thought was empty. As I walk inside towards my makeup station, I see 3RACHA snacking on chips and snacks as they joke around with each other. I bow to them as I clean up anything that needed to be cleaned.
"Becca-ssi." I turn around and see Han walking to me.
"Ne?" 
"Hokshi noona namjachingu isseyeo?"
I blink at him before bursting out in laughter. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to laugh," I say, chuckling.
He laughs. "Sorry, I didn't wanna ask but," he turns around and looks at at Changbin, who suddenly has an interest at imaginary dust on his clothes. "Someone dared me." 
"It's okay. And no, I don't have a boyfriend," I say with a smile. 
Then I see their leader walk up to Han and pat him on his back. "Han-ah, stop messing with the newbie."
"Sorry." Han apologizes but I wave him off. 
"Sorry about him, he's usually not like that." Bang Chan says as Han goes back to Changbin. 
"Ah, no. It's okay. I don't mind," I say smiling. He stares at me for a few seconds and I suddenly question my life choices. "Uhm."
"It's you!" He exclaims, pointing his finger at me.
"Sorry?" I blink at him.
"You're the girl from the other day," he says. Oh, he finally knows. "I knew I've seen you somewhere before."
"I'm sorry," I say as I bow.
"Are you kidding? If it wasn't for you returning my bag, I would've lost big chunk of our hardwork forever," he says smiling. "I should be thanking you."
I beam at him. "It's fine really. I'm just glad it didn't get into the wrong hands." 
"Thank you, Becca-ssi."
"Ah, just Becca is fine." 
He nods his head. "Becca." The way he said my name sounds so sweet like strawberry dipped in chocolate. 
"Ne, Bang Chan-ssi."
"Just call me Chan." He smiles at me before going back to Han and Changbin.
"Chan," I whisper. I smile and go back to my previous task. I think I'm going to like working here.

As an ENTP: how the hell do I become a more empathetic person???? There's been so many times in my life when something I did or said unexpectedly made someone upset, and I'm so sick of going through the whole emotional stress of feeling terrible for having hurt someone and then having to apologise with a decent amount of emotional maturity. I have soured too many friendships over this and I'm tired of it. Friends have asked me if I even care about being a nicer/better person, and I do, but it's just so, so hard to figure out what arbitrary thing I say is going to upset someone next. I'm so jealous of the people who are naturally on the same emotional wavelength and can instinctively tell what is okay and not okay to say - life just seems easier for them because they never have screwups like these. Whenever I mess up I have anxiety that everyone else sees me as this terrible person they don't want to hang around anymore, and I feel as though everyone is judging me from this moral high ground. I sometimes wish either that I was born a naturally more empathetic person or everyone around me was just less sensitive. (Oh to be an EFJ who is born socially competent!!!) People have told me that I don't listen to others or I lack empathy which is frustrating to me because I thought that that was something I had improved on in my earlier teenage years and I feel like I make an active, conscious effort to be a better listener but I guess it's still not enough.
Since you weren't specific in what sorts of things trip you up (when you say them) it's hard for me to evaluate whether the problem is actually "you" or that the people around you are easily offended. All you can do is try to learn from your mistakes with individuals and use your intuition to try and figure out what makes this person tick (Ne and Ti) to theorize what COULD offend them in the future. For example, if they are sensitive about this and got upset, could this other thing upset them because there's a similarity to it? Or what is the bigger picture of this person, and what does getting offended about that mean about how their mind works? If you can learn to "hack" them a little bit, you can avoid some mine-fields simply by thinking before you say whatever occurs to you in the moment.
You can also ask general questions and observe what seems to be okay to talk about in mixed company and use those as guideposts -- what seems like an innocent remark or question to you might not seem appropriate in mixed company (goofy social rules like -- women don't like to talk about their age; it's not just a relative number to them). ENTPs tend to be somewhat quarrelsome in terms of being ruthless mentalists who aren't afraid to correct others' poor logical thinking skills. Feelers in particular are going to feel attacked by this, so sometimes, as an ENTP, you need to just let things pass... it may sound irrational and stupid, but to point it out would cause them angst and sour the relationship. That's probably the hardest thing for Thinkers to learn -- that pointing out how irrational that is, might damage their relationship, and that you need to pick your logical battles carefully -- stand up for what matters, don't just correct and nitpick. That will help a lot.
I would also you encourage you to make more thinker friends as well, or friends with head types who rationalize before they get offended; they are harder to offend and won't bombard you with their feelings, so you can be more of yourself around them and have a breather from tone-policing yourself.

ten. “greatest desire”
kozume kenma x fem dazai!reader
(bsd x hq)
tw: mentions of suicide, guns & cementaries
masterlist.      suicide freak!
Tumblr media
"uh hi.. i know we don't really know each other that much.." atsushi started off. the boy had a nervous smile on his face as he stiffly waves at kenma, with tanizaki and naomi by his side 
"but have you seen y/n-san?" atsushi asked 
"y/n? why, what happened to her?" kenma asked worriedly 
atsushi, tanizaki and naomi were stood in front of nekoma's gym, trying to look for the girl, as per the president's wishes. "its been about a day since you guys went out to the arcade, right?" tanizaki chimed in "has she shown herself to you, or atleast texted any of you?" 
kenma frowned as he shook his head no. he looked back at the team who were trying to act like they weren't eavesdropping. 
"no.. i just assumed she was busy with work" kenma muttered 
"hmm, i tried to ask ranpo-san but he's too busy" naomi chimed in as she hugged tanizaki's arm to her chest 
"oya oya, sorry to barge in on the conversation-" kuroo interjected. the captain had a sly grin on his face as he walked towards the group. "but we just so happen to overhear something about our manager going missing?" kuroo mused 
"yes, sorry if we're intruding" atsushi bowed 
"but y/n-san went missing again, and the president ordered us to find her in under four hours" tanizaki sighed 
"or else we get our asses handed to us" atsushi shuddered 
kuroo and kenma gave each other a look and nodded along. "we'll try to look for her later" kuroo said "we'll let you guys know" 
"thank you so much!" atsushi exclaimed with a smile "would you mind calling the agency if you find her?" he said as he handed them a piece of paper with the agency's number 
"its really hard tracking her down" tanizaki says with a chuckle "when she chooses to disappear, it's like she never existed in the first place" 
"anyways, we'll be on our way" atsushi excused "we've troubled you long enough" 
"its no problem.." kenma muttered 
naomi waved them goodbye as they walked away. the duo waving back meekly as they watch their retreating figures disappear. 
"hey, you okay?" kuroo nudged his friend kenma nodded and looked down at his shoes "yeah.." 
"i think i'll go look for her now" kenma muttered "eh? kenma, we could just go later" kuroo said with a raised brow 
"im going. bye" kenma muttered, completely disregarding kuroo as he went straight out the door 
"where's he going?" yaku asked as he peeked his head out the gym doors "he's gonna look for y/n" kuroo answered 
"damn. what a simp" yamamoto sneered 
"wow. that's rich coming from you." 
Tumblr media
"i swear to god.." kenma grumbled "if she ends up getting found in a ditch and i wasted all that time running around for nothing.." he scoffed 
he's been running around the streets of tokyo, passing through every street and alleyway to try and look for the girl. so far he hasn't seen a single trace of her, not even a single person who has managed to pass by her. 
"y/n.." kenma huffed out. he was currently by a riverbank, leaning against the metal railings of the bridge while he tried to catch his breath. 
"you called?" 
kenma jumped at the sudden emission of her oh-so-familiar voice, and turned around to face her "what the- y/n?! where did you come from?!" kenma shrieked out 
"also, where have you been?! atsushi-kun and a bunch of people from your job came to the school today looking for you" he said 
y/n chuckled and strode over to his side, jumping over the rails and sitting on the flat surface of the bars. "if i told you that the port mafia took me hostage and threatened to execute me, would you believe it?" she mused 
"no." 
"then i won't bother to say" she shrugged 
kenma eyed her warily. her port mafia story could actually be believable, now that he thought about it. given as, her bandages were loosened and torn, almost as if they broke off with too much movement. and along with the dried blood resting upon her cheeks and hands. 
"are you okay?" kenma asked worriedly 
even if it was believable, it could've been just her trying to kill herself yet again. not that it was any better
"of course" she smiled "though my body is a bit sore.. chuuya really doesn't hold back"
kenma froze and slowly turned his head towards her with a blank and emotionless look on his face. 
"chuuya doesn't what." kenma spat out "did you seriously disappear to hook up with that dog? that-that man child? that eyesore? that-" 
"what are you talking about?" she laughed
kenma huffed and propped his elbow on the cold metal, resting his chin on his hand as he pouted 
"you're really funny, kenma-kun" she mused 
"really? cause im not laughing." kenma grumbled "i ran around the whole city for you, only to find out you ran off with some guy" his honey hued orbs eyed her down, watching her chuckle softly as the golden rays of the sun illuminated the surroundings around her
"y/n.." he mumbled "why did you really disappear?" 
"i already told you" she replied with a sigh "the port mafia is truly a force to reckon with" 
"that's why you gotta stay safe, kenma-kun" she mused "you never know who and when they'll strike next" 
kenma sighed and nodded along. it was old news -- the port mafia, that is -- its been stirring up the whole city for the past few months. 
"ne, kenma-kun" she called out "if we do end up dying alongside each other, i suggest we drown ourselves in this river." she said 
she stared down at the flowing water, the golden colour of the setting sun reflecting off of it. "its clear and pretty, not much people are around.. its quite tranquil." she hummed
"i never really understood this.." kenma muttered "but why are you so intent on dying?" 
"and i never understood you, and so many others." she replied "tell me, kenma.." she turned to face him, her bandaged hands loosely gripping the railings, as her legs and feet dangle off the ledge. 
"do you really think there's any value in the act of living?" 
kenma didn't answer. instead he stared at her, and her clouded eyes, each orb holding an unforgivable amount of sin and deciet that he could only imagine. 
"well.. is there any value in the act of dying?" he asked back 
she blinked dumbfoundedly at him, fairly shocked at his question. 
"isn't there anything else you desire? life is kinda cool too yaknow?" kenma said in a sheepish tone 
she stared at him a few minutes longer before averting her gaze. she chuckled and closed her eyes as the cold wind breezed past. "man fears death, and at the same time, man is drawn to death" she said 
"its a singular event in one's life that no one may reverse" she hummed "and that is my greatest desire." 
kenma didn't know how to reply to that, so he didn't. he simply looked down up at the setting sun, letting silence wash upon them both. 
"hey kenma" she called out. kenma looked at her, curious and wary. "yes?" he asked 
"wanna hang with an old friend with me?" she suggested with a soft smile
"me? won't that be intrusive though? i don't really know them.." kenma muttered nervously
"it's fine. he'd probably be happy i even talk to people my age" she said with a chuckle. she jumped off the railings and landed on the ground with a grin. she stretched her aching arms over her head and patted kenma's back. 
"he's a lot like you" she mused "always saying life is worth living and all.." 
"okay then.." kenma agreed reluctantly "but if i sense that person doesn't like me one bit, im leaving." he groaned out
"im pretty sure that won't happen" she chuckled sheepishly 
Tumblr media
"why are we in a cementary?" kenma grumbled 
"is this where you kill us both?" he scoffed playfully "i wouldn't be surprised if you already have a hole dug for us" 
she chuckled and shook her head "no, no" she mused "were just taking a small stroll" she cooed as she looked around the awfully empty surrounding  "ah! there it is" she perked up "it's been so long since i went here that i almost forgot my way around" 
kenma followed her as she skipped away, though he was quite confused, he didn't question her. 
"hurry, kenma" she called out as she watched him struggle to walk faster "i hate you" he grumbled back, which she chose to ignore 
she smiled softly as she stood infront of the oh-so-familiar grave. 
"geez." she mumbled "its been so long since we hung out, odasaku" 
"shame we couldn't meet at the usual place" she chuckled and sat down on the grassy ground. she leaned back on the gravestone, resting her back against it as she waited for kenma to arrive 
"y/n?" on cue, kenma chimed in. he was panting slightly, most likely from running and walking around for so long "what are you doing?" kenma raised a brow at her 
"kozume kenma-kun.." she called out
"yes?" he asnwered
"do you know whose grave this is?" she mused, pointing her thumb to the gravestone she was leaning on 
kenma eyed the name engraved on the stone and shook his head. "no..but it's someone dear to you, right?" 
"what makes you think that?" she hummed out in amusement 
"i've never seen you pay visit to a grave before" kenma muttered. the pudding head hesitantly sat down infront of her, bowing at the grave before settling down on the ground. 
"does it look like im visiting a grave to you?" she asked with curiosity 
"it does.. why?"
she smiled softly and leaned her head back, letting it fall and her eyes to land straight at the cloudy sky "well, i thought of it as hanging out with a friend but.." she trailed off 
"i guess that works too" she sighed out 
kenma frowned as he watched her close her eyes. her smile faltering as a wave of comforting silence washed upon them. "im sorry" kenma muttered "i shouldn't have said anything.." 
"its fine." she chuckled "its been years since he died." she smiled bitterly "i guess it's time someone snaps me out of my daydreams" 
kenma didn't respond. he simply toyed with the grass on the ground and the few flowers littered around. 
"yaknow, kenma" she said with a smile "you're the first person i brought here" 
"me? why?" kenma asked in surprise and confusion 
"because this friend of mine was a good man." she said "he told me to try and look for my reason to live."
"and i think i found it" she whispered as he looked into his eyes 
kenma blinked in shock as he basked in her awfully heartwarming words. 
"my reason to live is to die with you." 
"of course. its gonna be about suicide again." kenma sighed dejectedly.  "but y/n, if you think of me as your reason to live.. then i'll take it upon myself to keep you alive" kenma smiled at her, tucking his blond hair behind his ears as he kept his honey hued orbs trained on hers. 
"kenma.." she teared up 
she blinked repeatedly as she opened her mouth to speak. 
"i.. I DON'T WANT THAT! I WANNA DIE WITH YOU!" she whined loudly "i already had our suicide planned! i even suggested the whole river thing a while ago!" she exclaimed 
kenma deadpanned as he watched her ramble on and on about her ideal double suicide. "i really don't care." kenma groaned out "i don't want you to die." he whined "why do you keep trying to kill yourself" 
"just because, okay?!" 
"just for that, im gonna call your agency and hand you over" kenma sighed as he dialled the agency's number 
"traitor!" she shrieked "kunikida-kun will undoubtedly beat me up" kenma ignored her as he started speaking on the phone. 
"yes, she's with me.." he muttered "is she behaved?" he repeated the question as he sent her a pointed glare 
"no, not really" he scoffed 
"kenma, you're heartless!" she shrieked in horror 
"cmon. let's atleast pay respects to your friend before we leave" kenma said with a sigh "dont worry, kenma-kun! i already thought this through" she grinned. she then pulled out a bottle of sake and a book and placed it on the ground. 
"you brought him alcohol? seriously?" kenma furrowed his brows 
"hey, it's two of his favourite things, okay?" she defended with a laugh 
"do you know how ridiculous i looked while buying these things at the store?" she chuckled "they thought i was a madman or something!" 
"i would've too" kenma answered back 
"you're so mean to me, kenma" she pouted "anyways, we should go." she said as she dusted her pants and unravelled a thin layer of her torn bandages. 
"i can't wait to tell you about this suicide method i learned about." she beamed. she tugged on his arm and pulled him away as she continued to blabber on his ear "apparently this one does the job right away!" she exclaimed 
"can you believe it, kenma?" 
"wow. crazy." he replied dryly 
"yeah, and all we gotta do is shoot ourselves with these guns-" 
"no." 
Tumblr media
"oh my, this almost feels like a welcome home party!" she cheered. she gave the detectives a close eyed smile while they simply stared back at her with a look of agitation and worry 
"where the hell were you?!" kunikida exclaimed angrily as he tapped his foot on the ground 
"the port mafia!" she answered back nonchalantly 
they all perked up in surprise from her claim. "huh?! the port mafia?!" 
"hai hai! but don't make a big deal about it!" she chuckled as she waved her hands dismissively 
"you could've died!" kunikida exclaimed  "now, now! i'd like to think of it as akutagawa-kun needing some attention that's all" she joked 
"jesus christ" kunikida sighed as he adjusted his glasses "that boy could kill you and you still won't take him seriously" 
"anyways, why is he here?" he asked as he pointed to kenma, who simply ignored him and avoided their eyes as he played on his phone 
"oh! he's the one who found me, so i thought it'd be right for me to repay him" she smiled brightly as she squeezed kenma to her chest, all while he unbotherdly continued on with his game
"i've thought of so many fun things we could do back in my dorm, hehehe~" she chuckled mischievously as kenma's face paled. she only gripped him tighter when he tried to scurry away. 
"i- i see.." kunikida stuttered out. he looked at them with wide eyes as she started squeezing him tighter while kenma tried to pry her off 
"y/n, you're strangling me!" kenma huffed out "i know!" she grinned 
"we'll leave you two alone then!" kenji said with his usual smile as he ushered the others away 
"they're worse than tanizaki-kun and naomi-san.." atsushi shuddered "that's because she's trying to kill him" tanizaki sweat dropped 
"and herself, as well" yosano sneered "go get your man!" she cheered as she sent y/n a sneaky wink 
"yosano-san! don't encourage her!"

ayato- yo hey why'd you call us over shuu? i was doing something!
reiji- what a surprise that you would take the time to even call us here this must be important then..
laito- subaru came to tell us that it was about that girl
sumire- .....does that refer to me...?
ayato- well no shit little melons
sumire- .....oh... is that a good thing or a bad thing... i do hope it is now a bad thing....
reiji- does it really matter? well shuu get on with it
shuu- ....yeah it's about the girl.. that guy spoke to me a few weeks ago telling me she would come here then i told reiji and he told all of you...
kanato- okay and? then tell us why you want us here.. i hate when people waste my time
shuu- well he told me other things about the girl, he said were not supposed to kill her.. and treat her "nicely" and repeated to me again "don't kill her" and that's pretty much what he said..
ayato- ah? we can't kill her? what a buzz
kanato- such a pity.. right teddy it really is a pity we have to keep such a annoying girl with us
laito- "don't kill her"? well than that means your gonna be staying with us for a loong time then bitch-chan fufu
sumire- ....but... you said i would "die" if i acted the way i did earlier..... i believe that would imply one of you would kill me.... if you can not kill me then why would you say that....?
shuu- heh.. he also did say she know we vampire's due to her family's little... hobby.. guess she can pick up on somethings..
i was kidding, but you'll end up getting yourself killed anywhere you go based on how you are
sumire- ...mm... kidding...? i did not find that kidding to be funny...
shuu- why should i care if it was funny or not?
sumire- ...joking means "telling someone something for amusement of laughter' and other meanings... i did not find that joke to be amusing....
shuu- whatever
sumire- but if i will die here because the way i am then... i would to ask something...
reiji- hm..? what could you possibly need from what he said?
sumire- ...i would like to have you all watch me... whether it's one or two... i do not care... i do not know i am ready to die yet... much less from a vampire or any demon....
reiji- hoh.. look at that you do have some sort of boldness in you, your treating yourself as if your some sort of high class women.. and if we refuse this offer?
sumire- ....i do not see the issue with you all seeing a issue in my offer.... and i see you all having no reason to not accept my offer.... i do not like making these things called choices on my own.... so if i find there is no reason for you to refuse then i will ask you and tell you my thing called a "choice"
reiji- getting bolder
subaru- tch this is pointless i'm out!
shuu- haah.. same
ayato- that doesn't seem like a bad idea! haha we already have some quitters!
laito- seems fun i'll join this little "choice" or more your offer you've given us bitch-chan~!
reiji- i'm maybe a bit interested but i think this women is far to much of a handful so i think i'll have to pass the offer
kanato- ....ne teddy should we watch this women for her.. do you think she will play with us..? if she doesn't... well i would like to make her into a doll.. you think she would be a pretty doll don't you think teddy?
ayato- course you'll come round the great ore-sama right?! course you will!
laito- come on bitch-chan you should come be with me laito-kun will make sure your safe and sound under his watch!
reiji- this is annoying.. i don't know if she'll be any good
sumire- .... (...as long as someone watches me... i do not care.. i just wish to see father again... i won't be able to if i die in this cruel world....)
monolog
the world is spinning,
father... father...
fathers words stopped the world from spinning
everything he does make it stop
or so i thought
because this is his doing this will also stop my world
from spinning
_______________________________________
part one- dark 1
((so were finally done part two of the first game "haunted dark bridal" for sumire's route, she be getting bold haha, so were gonna do shuu'd route first since i'll be doing this by the age of the brothers, that will be out at some point this week! this already took me a bit to write since i'm trying to stick to the way the game is while also adding my own twists to it for sumire's character and there reaction to her doing things and saying things, i really hope people are interested in these!

Detective Fraser Chapter 31 Going Home
“So, do you want to tell your mam what you did or do you want me too?” Jamie asks his daughter as they get closer to home.
“I will. I know it was..”
“Idiotic! You know you could be wherever Gillian is and we wouldn’t even know?” His voice shakes with both fear and anger.
“I know.” She whispers. “If it helps, it has given me an idea on how to help Mr. Randall.” He looks to her with a frown. “The power that is behind whatever magic that allows time travel, is very active right now. What would be easier, trying to find this adult child or sending him back so he can be a father from the start?”
“That is bloody brilliant. If he focuses on the woman and child then he should land when they are. Either way, he won't be here.”
“Yep.”
“Julia, just because you came up with a solution to Randall's problem and ours, doesn't mean you are still not in trouble for what you did.”
“I know da.”
Her mam comes running out, throwing her arms around her. “Julia Ellen Fraser, don't you ever scare your father and I like that again!”
Julia, overwhelmed by all, weeps in her mam's arms. They all enter the house and Julia, through her tears, tells her all.
“Oh God!” she looks to Jamie with huge haunted eyes. “We could have lost her. Forever!”
“I know. Claire the power that bloody hill is producing. I have ne' felt anything like it. Which is why Julia's idea about what to do about Randall may work.”
“What idea?”
They explain. “He would have to be strictly told to stay away from you so he doesn’t influence our future. You must still believe he has disappeared.” Jamie says.
“Yes. I think he would agree to that. To be with his child from the beginning.”
“Aye I agree. I am going to ring him and arrange to meet him and discuss it. As for you lass,” He turns to Julia, “You are confined to this house except for classes for the next two weeks.”
“That is fair.” She knows she got off easy.
“I will be back. Hopefully with news Randall is on his way back home.”
He kisses his wife, tightly hugs his daughter, and peeks on a sleeping Henry.
“You have an idea?” They sit in a back bench in Murtagh’s pub.
“Aye. The hill you came through, it is very powerful. Why should we search for an adult child when you have the opportunity to know him or her from the beginning of it’s life?”
“You mean go back through?”
“Aye. You focus on the lass and the bairn, land there, make the meeting with her, you two live your life.”
“And stay away from Claire?”
“That should go without saying. She must believe you are missing. So she comes to me. I am giving you a second chance to be a father. I would think you wouldn’t mind not interfering with Claire and I's life.”
“I have no problem with that.”
“So, you will go back?”
“I will. I want to be a full father to my child.”
“Good.”
“I thank you Fraser. A lot of man would have not had the class to help me.”
“You are welcome but I am not doing it just for you. I want you well away from my family and your bairn deserves a father.”
“So, I guess I am off.”
“Wait, I will come with you. Give you a ride.”
“Want to make sure I go?”
“That and a car just parked out there will bring questions. I also want to make sure you make it through safely.”
“I thank you for that.” Later, as they get closer to the hill, “ I will go straight to Sandy. I will go nowhere near Claire. I owe you that much. Just, continue to take good care of her. She is special.”
“That she is. I will. I wish you luck in your journey and in the raising of your child.”
“Thank you.” Jamie stops the car and they look up to the hill.
“One final thing, Julia's mate Gillian Duncan went through today. If you happen to run into her, please keep an eye on her.”
He nods. “Accidental or on purpose?”
“I think a mix of both.”
“Julia alright?”
“She is. Grounded but okay.”
“Good. You are a good man Fraser. I am glad they have you.” He steps out without another word and starts up. Jamie steps out to watch him. He waves from the top. Jamie waves back. He then walks up to the largest stone, and with a touch, he is gone.
“Go with God. Safe travels.” Jamie says before getting in his car and heading back to his family.
The End.

Tumblr media
Happy hump day from Southeast Asia! 🐫 Tbh, I'm SO strapped for time right now due to work demands (from that unreasonable cow of a boss I wrote about earlier). Something good did come outta it and I'll share when the time is right. I also hafta juggle caring for elderly parents during this harrowing coronavirus period and friends, so many pursuits have taken a backseat, including having new jewellery customised - there just isn't time to come up with something I really like!
Enjoyable as fashion is, sharing such posts isn't a priority at the mo. I did that last year anyway so, in 2020, what would really be fun is to focus on normalising exercise for all body types. Sharing curvy babes being active is also in line with my personal goal of getting stronger at a holistic level this year.
Our bigger friends sharing the same mindset will be taken by the hand and lifted up in this blog if I come across them. In this way, they help their communities to be accepted when they're out engaging in movement that they enjoy. Everyone's happy so, why not? All of us benefit; it would be utterly dumb to turn down a win-win situation.
Tumblr media
As a friend, Darren, said to me last year, people are more interesting when they have a hobby or hobbies they're passionate about. By that, he doesn't mean travel or vacations. No shade to frequent flyers here; there're definitely lots of interesting stories to tell about different cultures. As normal everyday people though, how many of us have the luxury of time (or finances for some) to traipse around the globe regularly?
Those with a passion, however, possess a certain je ne sais quoi that draws people to them. It makes them seem more multi-dimensional as people and, to a certain extent, I understand what Darren means. Stephanie of @bellabombshel, Amanda of @amandalacount, Georgina of @fullerfigurefullerbust and Jolene of @boardroomblonde stand out because, outside of the usual beauty/fashion/lifestyle influencer shenanigans, they're passionate about something and they bloody try to excel or improve at it. This spirit truly wins my utmost respect.
Now MY personal passion, which is no secret at all, is exercise. I have derived benefits from it and truly believe that everyone deserves to experience the same. I will always be dedicated to being active and, rain or shine, 24/7, for many years now, it has been my constant companion, keeping me self assured and ready to face another tough day (this time with the cow 😅).
So it's absolutely delightful that curvy babes are embracing exercise, including braving the shitstorm that jerks sometimes subject them to. By soldiering on, they pave the way for others to be seen and to normalise wellness as a concept that everyone deserves.
So without further ado... the darlings.
instagram
Alright, yummy mummy, good for you! ✊✊✊
Gorgeous sweetheart Sarah persevered to the end with a zumba class and will you just look at her radiance. She's practically glowing! Definitely still got it all - that sass, that drive, every single damn thing. You may chant 'All hail Queen Amidala now'. Proud of this babe.
Speaking of proud...
instagram
I can definitely relate to Jolene. She'd hurt her shoulder some years back and the pain prevented her from trying out exercises that could possibly have strengthened those muscles. I totally get this because when my auto accident spinal injury worsened once I hit 30, it frightened me so much, I gave up the sports I loved. For 1 year. The darkest year of my life and also the year I spiralled into depression.
Discovering calisthenics gave me a new lease of life, thus I'm happy to know that Jolene is likewise trying out new exercises to strengthen her upper limbs. It might take awhile, but OMG I'm rooting for her to succeed because in a way, her story is so similar to my story. Wishing this babe all the best. Never. Ever. Give. Up.
And then we have Jessica.
Curvy babes who have hangups about working out should absolutely check out her post. I wholly agree with what she said:
Fitness is 'NOT A COMPETITION'.
This is the reason I refuse to pit 1 of my faves, Stephanie of @bellabombshel, against anyone else. Sure, sometimes I may tease out of playfulness but it would feel crap if she ever thinks I'm comparing because I'm not. And she should never ever compare herself to any other curvy dancing babe I share.
As far as dance is concerned, Stephanie ranks right up there for finesse, fluidity and stamina. If Amanda LaCount - may I add this wicked babe is a professional who's done what she does since 2yo - is shared regularly here, it's for a reason and I'd rather all of you curvy darlings realise that being joint faves is a wonderful thing. Remember: I love you because of your passion for what you do and it shows - you're gloriously excellent!
So whilst waiting for my babe Stephanie, here's the amazing Amanda and her latest stunning routine.

You know what would be really fun? If these 2 divas come up with their own choreography for the same song. That is when their skills and individuality would really shine. Until then, Imma enjoy both of them!
Joining them? The delicious Nabela (don't worry, I won't like, swallow her up 😂).

You never ever know who you inspire, ya know 😋 Being active and fun in the washroom/dressing room should really be a thing 🤣 This ol' bird is lovin' it plenty!
Rounding up this exercise post is Kristen, because yoga definitely is part of wellness.

Dunno about you but I'm completely behind the message behind her post because of that never-say-die spirit. The more curvy babes there are out there, the more stereotypes are broken and the more minds are changed.
Lastly (I promise promise).........
Showing that a number, whether that be age, weight or size, is completely irrelevant where fitness is concerned, check out this amazing post.
