#i don't care that we've been clowned before

[serapheemz]

ִ ࣪♫₊ Both of you (at the same time)

With a few lingering touches from Nikolai and some eye-fucking type of stares from Fyodor, you're reduced to nothing but a sweaty, moaning, needy mess.

CW : Reader uses pronouns they/them for gender neutral purposes ; Nikolai and Fyodor kinda degrade and praise at the same time? ; Rough sex ! (*´꒳`*)

Being trapped with the Decay of Angels sucked.

Words could not describe the anguish you felt every time you heard Nikolai's annoying ass scream at the top of his lungs, or see the malicious plans that Fyodor had in mind, displayed across thousands of papers you and the rest of the organization had to read.

Sometimes, you didn't mind, though.

Yes, life truly was abhorrent around them, and whilst you despised hearing and seeing them every day, you still garnered an inkling, a sparkle in your eye and heart each time you saw Nikolai and Fyodor.

Which proved to be weird since you didn't feel the same way around Sigma, Bram or Fukuchi.

Just yesterday, during breakfast hours, you found yourself gazing and admiring the two men. The devil, Dostoevsky, was deep in thought, as usual, and the clown kept on blabbering about nonsense without ever needing to stop and rest his tongue. Truly, you had no clue why you'd been behaving this way. You genuinely thought it was your eyes deceiving you. Why were they looking extra handsome today?

You ran your fingers through your disheveled morning hair, eyes peeled as to understand what was so damn alluring about the men in front of you. Your tea was getting cold, and your food was getting stale, which Sigma wasn't appreciative of.
He eyed you down, furrowing his eyebrows at your dazed look.

"Y/n, your food's getting cold, and I don't plan on making you another plate."

The sudden ring of his voice woke you up from your daydream. You nodded and apologized to Sigma. It was really rude of you to let your food go to waste, especially after he prepared it for everybody with so much 'love' and 'care'.

Then Nikolai glanced at you, catching your hectic expression, nearly giggling at the sight of how red your cheeks had become.

You'd be a fool if you thought they didn't notice your fixed leer on them these past few days and you'd be an even bigger fool to think they didn't take full advantage of it.

It started with simple touches.

During the day and meetings, Fyodor had instructed Nikolai to tease you in a way that'd drive you mad, and Nikolai chose subtle touches as his torture method. Randomly, especially during the morning, he'd graze his hands against yours, but not enough to make it seem intentional. Other times he'd 'accidentally' bump into your side, but what got you over the edge was the hugs that lingered a few seconds too long and his hand placement.

Often, you found Nikolai's hands glide over your back and onto your rear for only a few moments, before pulling back around your torso.

It wasn't out of the ordinary for Nikolai to hug people. He often did so, without asking a lot of the time, too, but the way he hugged you, made you feel delirious with how warm and nice his arms felt around you.

However, it didn't stop there.

Not only was Nikolai on your ass, Fyodor was too.

Fyodor was never really one to be touchy with people, unlike his partner Nikolai. He was a reserved man, so his choice of torment was inflicted on you through his prolonged ogle.

You've never felt so naked while being fully clothed, and it was all because of Dostoevsky's eyes regularly undressing you. You'd be lying if you said it wasn't exciting feeling his eyes observe your every move. It felt so... exhilarating.

It wasn't long before you broke under their bewitching spell, their charisma proving very handy to lure you right into their trap.

And what a nice trap it was.

・₊✧⋆⭒˚｡⋆

Fyodor's fingers tangled and detangled your hair, burying them deep in and massaging your temples as you struggled to take his cock in your mouth.

"My, what a good bitch we've got on our hands, haven't we, Mykola?" He addressed to his friend, whose hands playfully squeezed your cheeks, causing you to struggle and moan, sending vibrations around the raven-haired male's dick.

Nikolai's hips pressed hard against yours, holding them down on his lap as your tongue swirled and your spit drizzled down Fyodor's tip.

"Look at Nikolai behind you. Isn't he making you feel good?" Fyodor grasped your chin, gently pulling your mouth and lips off his dick and forcing your head to look back at the white-haired man.

You nodded frantically, leaning back into Nikolai's chest as you puffed and coughed for more air. The heat in the room was latching onto your skin, sweat beads forming on your forehead and trickling down to your crimson cheeks.

You squealed as Nikolai pushed himself deeper inside, your walls squeezing him tightly as he groaned, " So fucking tight..." He snickered and ran a hand alongside your sweaty figure, feeling every fissure and bit of your body against his palm.

Fyodor sat down in front of you, grabbing one of your legs and yanking it on his shoulder. There was this mischievous glimmer in his eyes you couldn't ignore and you soon found out what he had in plan for you.

With the help of Nikolai and the support of a wall, they used their shared leverage to their advantage.

Fyodor's hands grazed the back of your ass, coming down to land a smack against it before rubbing the reddened mark. His lips pecked your nape, now having switched positions with Nikolai. You stared, breathing heavily as Nikolai slowly pushed inside you again, the familiar feeling of his cock warming up your insides and causing you to tip your head over to the side, rolling your eyes back. You whimpered at the feeling of it hitting that same spot that made your back arch, the pleasure so immaculate it caused you to squirm and gasp.

"You're so in love with Mykola's dick, how about mine, hm?" Fyodor whispered into your ear, kissing your earlobe as if he was asking you something you were too far gone to comprehend and answer on the spot. Thankfully, Nikolai's rough slap against your cheek woke you up to your senses.

"Uh huh, please... I want you both, please."

The men exchanged glances as they heard your request.

Smiling, Fyodor smooched your shoulder, his lips leaving you yearning for more. Nikolai's grip on you increased and he pressed his own lips into yours, swirling his tongue around them, urging them open, and of course, you gave into his silent implore, letting the man in front of you do as he pleased with your mouth, feeling every part of it, how warm and wet it felt and how your plush lips quivered every time you'd let out another slutty moan.

Your head staggered back into Fyodor's as he slowly entered you. A pained expression painted itself on your face as you gasped and whined.

"Fuck- fuckin' hurts... Colya, Fedya...! "

But, they didn't stop.

Fyodor pressed on inside of you, stretching you out as Nikolai attempted at thrusting again, causing you to groan at the growing ache and burn Fyodor was inflicting on you. Your eyes welled up in tears and Nikolai watched them dribble on your cheeks before kissing and whirling his tongue around the saltiness sprinkled across.

"You keep bitching about how bad it hurts but haven't even asked us to stop." Nikolai moaned and moved his lips to your own.

God, that burning sensation felt fucking delightful, but you couldn't bring yourself to admit it or say anything, not while Fyodor and Nikolai were both inside of you, at the same time.
It took everything in your willpower to stop you from wailing their names and creaming on their cocks already.

You gripped Nikolai's hair, pushing your lips further into his, kissing him so hard he felt his dick throb deep in you, right against that spot that made your vision go flurry.

"So wet, just for us..." Fyodor mused, "Does that feel good, baby?"

"F-Fuck yes, it does..." You groaned as your lips left Nikolai's. "Oh my fucking God, please move already!"

"Don't speak the Lord's name in vain, especially not right now." Fyodor's voice turned into a displeased one for a mere moment, scolding you for your disobedience, however, that only made you clench harder around him, your mouth dropping into an 'o'.

Nikolai let out a near-insane laugh as he fucked himself into you, his dick grazing Fyodor's, earning a pleasured sigh out of him. The feeling of the two of them inside you made your stomach churn with butterflies, aggressively flapping their wings. You felt so fucking full it hurt but in such a good way...

The type of hurt you chased, trying desperately to bounce yourself on their cocks to gain some more friction. The burning sensation you once felt was agonizing now subsided into something so erotic it dragged a damn near pornographic moan out of you as Nikolai hunched his head into your neck, kissing down it before moving back up and sucking an arduous hickey into your svelte skin.

Fyodor muttered phrases that you could barely process, but the ones that did go through your brain and were understood were thinning the line between praising and degrading.

"So fucking good, what a good slut you are..."

And Nikolai chimed in with his own plaudit, "You're made for this dick, fuck..."

The otherwise vulgar, wicked words they uttered would've made your skin crawl in any other situation, but now it was only fueling the burning desire to be rougher, faster, more passionate.

You begged and pleaded the two of them would increase their speeds, and maybe fuck you with more fervor, but you had no idea Fyodor's thrusts would knock the air out of you.

You gasped and felt yourself tighten around them, eyes rolling back into your skull as you fell into a deep embrace with Nikolai, reduced to a stuttering and moaning mess in his arms as Fyodor smirked from behind you, winking at Nikolai who grabbed your hair and pulled you back, forcing your eyes to meet his.

"Gotta look into my eyes when you come."

With those words, you felt like you had lost yourself in euphoria, stumbling back onto Fyodor's torso and searching for a part of him you could grasp onto while your orgasm shattered you.

It took a few moments for you to clear your murky vision of the fog that had garnered up in your eyes.

"Came so good they nearly passed out."

"Mhm." Fyodor hummed in approval.

Nikolai flicked your forehead once before smirking at you. "You have no idea how fucked out you look! I wish I could take a picture and remind you every single day." He frowned and Fyodor chuckled behind you, leisurely helping you down onto your feet.

"Don't poke fun at them too hard, they might cry." Fyodor held back a snicker.

The moment your feet hit the cold ground you hissed, stumbling over to the bed in front of you and planting yourself face-first into it.

Your head was spinning and your entire body was on fire.

"What the hell did you two fuckers do to me...?"

"Don't pretend you don't remember." Fyodor approached you silently, gently patting and brushing your hair with his slim fingers. The mattress underneath you dipped as the two of them sat down, the clown lazily threw himself next to you, lying down and smirking at your exhausted expression.

Your eyelids grew heavy, your breathing slowed and you closed them eventually, letting rest take over you. Guess getting fucked so good had you sleeping better because the next thing you knew, it was morning and the sun was already shining.

Your eyes squinted as the beams of rays gently caressed them, pulling you out of your peaceful slumber. What time was it...?

You lazily whipped your head around to look at the vintage clock situated on the bedside table next to you. Despite being in bold letters you could not distinguish the numbers displayed on it. Perhaps it was sleep still lingering on your eyelashes.

Just then you realized something that knocked the drowsiness out of you.

"No fucking way I fell asleep in a room alone with those two bastards." You grumbled to yourself and rolled over, kicking Nikolai's bedsheet sheets off you and groggily getting up on your two feet.

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚

Breakfast was utterly humiliating.

You felt awkward even just walking out of Nikolai's room, but you hadn't noticed something when you looked in the mirror earlier.

Lovebites scattered across your neck and collarbones, marking every place Nikolai and Fyodor decided they wanted to make love to yesterday.

If it weren't for Sigma's flushed expression, trying to look away and hold his tongue, you wouldn't have noticed till later, you could've gone out like that during a mission, and neither Fyodor nor Nikolai would've said anything whatsoever. You might be wondering, why?

Because they love watching you get embarrassed.

"Y/n... your neck... are you okay?" Sigma asked, concerned. "You look like you got mauled by a bear."

"Actually, I got mauled by two, at the same time."

On Project Moon

Hey, this is gonna be long, I'm putting most of it under the cut. This post is about the recent firing of VellMori from Project Moon, I know that it warrants some tags for triggers, but I have no idea what's commonly used, so if I miss something, please tell me.

Additionally, I have written this up in a way that if it escapes the target audience of Project Moon fans, it can still be understood, so with that in mind, there will be Library of Ruina spoilers.

The tl;dr for those who don't wanna read the full thing is that Project Moon was put in a very bad position with some violent extremists targeting them and that I'm not happy about any of what happened.

So, for those unaware, Project Moon has fired VellMori, the CG artist for Limbus Company. Now, a not inaccurate statement that can be made from this is "Project Moon fired a woman for being a feminist" but this is... somewhat reductive. Let's immediately get out of the way that VellMori did absolutely nothing wrong. Some people have said she is a TERF. I've seen no evidence of this. Some people have said she wished death on all men. I've seen no evidence of this.

What I HAVE seen is that VellMori thinks sexual abuse is bad. Now, why would this lead to a firing? The short answer is that a bunch of violent incels, one of which was literally dressed as a clown, came knocking at their office doors.

See, Limbus Company has a "beach" event coming up. In this event, we are getting a water themed outfit for two of the characters, one male and one female. For Sinclair, the guy, he has been given an EXTREMELY slutty mechanic's outfit. For Ishmael, the woman, she has been given a very skintight wet suit outfit. Now, I wanna take care to note that VellMori is the CG artist - she had no hand in these designs, a man made them. I would also like to mention that both outfit designs are amazing, and I will be including them at the end of this post for reference.

Now, upon revealing the wet suit design for Ishmael, a bunch of whiny incels on what is basically Korean 4chan got upset that Ishmael, instead of being in a bikini as is usual for gacha games, was wearing a wet suit. Nevermind that the designs in Limbus Company have always been conservative and that the Sinclair design is the most skin we've ever seen and it's just an open shirt. Again, the wet suit is still super revealing, it's skin tight and this is literally the first design of her that doesn't make her look flat chested. They're not rioting over the lack of sex appeal, they're specifically mad that it's not a bikini.

The incels come to the conclusion that the lack of any skin being shown on Ishmael's outfit is a result of evil feminism. No, I'm not exaggerating. They initially begin harassing the artist who is actually responsible for drawing the outfits, but upon learning that he is a man, set their sights on VellMori because she's a woman, and being an artist is good enough I guess. What they do from here is they start digging and digging and digging on VellMori's twitter, making use of archived pages because many of the "offensive" tweets had been deleted.

I'd like to take a moment to point out that VellMori never actually tweeted anything out here - it was all retweets from a 4-6 year old archive, and retweets that have been long deleted. These retweets contain such transgressive statements as "I'm sick of misogyny" and "If being against patriarchy makes me antisocial, then so be it" and just... mirroring back to men what those men were saying to women. Some people would like to have you think she was calling for death to all men. She wasn't. She ALSO retweeted all this stuff while she was a teenager and well before she worked for Project Moon.

Nonetheless, the incels had decided that feminism was the reason Ishmael had a wet suit and not a bikini and they had found a feminist working for Project Moon. It is at this point that we must take a brief detour and talk about Library of Ruina, Project Moon's previous game.

See, in Library of Ruina, one of the protagonists, Angela, has this whole arc about escaping her abuser and becoming a human. Yes, she is literally a robot, but Project Moon isn't exactly a stranger to symbolism in their stories and a feminist reading of Angela is ridiculously easy. The main antagonist in Library of Ruina is Argalia, the Blue Reverberation, and his crew is called the Reverberation Ensemble. Every member of the Reverberation Ensemble is a violent lunatic who each want to reinforce the status quo in their own unique shitty way. In addition to this, typically in order to reach the titular Library, you would need to be invited. The Reverb Ensemble are the "uninvited guests", the ones who managed to reach the Library and knock down the door without an invite.

Why am I talking about this? Well, the incels decided to start calling themselves the Reverb Ensemble, and referring to each other using names of the Reverb Ensemble members such as Pluto, Elena, and Oswald. Having taken on the moniker of the uninvited guests, they then showed up to Project Moon's office to protest. Over the lack of a bikini. Now, remember how I mentioned someone was dressed up as a clown? One of the Reverb Ensemble members, Oswald, is a clown with an extremely tenuous grip on reality. So much so, that his ideal world is one in which there is no meaning whatsoever. That is the character they chose to dress up as. This is either a case of extreme self awareness or extreme self unawareness.

Eventually, the incels were let into the office possibly as a form of damage mitigation to prevent the crowd of protestors from getting any bigger. This was a questionable decision, but they had a group of violent incels at their doorstep either way, and I don't exactly have full details on this. Regardless, Project Moon had on their hands a group of violent protesting incels, who they felt compelled to let into the building, and who had demands including the firing of their feminist employee. (7/28 update: a translation of the transcript posted to DCInside has surfaced. Please check the reblogs for it. Project Moon was verifiably threatened.)

So while "Project Moon fired a woman for being a feminist" isn't inaccurate it also isn't the full picture. More appropriately, it'd be "Project Moon fired a woman because a group of violent incels who weren't satisfied with a form fitting wet suit instead of a bikini showed up to their office demanding that an artist who did not make the wet suit design be fired because she retweeted some feminist stuff 5 years ago while she was a teenager".

I'm not happy with this. None of this is good. People are allowed to be feminists, and Project Moon stories have always presented progressive ideas to anyone with half a brain to do some basic literary analysis. I can understand why they would cave to the demands of people who were threatening them and showed up to their actual place of work, but at the same time, that's someone's livelihood gone and proof that in the future, the same sorts of people can use the same sorts of tactics to bully Project Moon into doing whatever they want. All of this sucks.

For those who would like to see the retweets in question alongside translations: https://twitter.com/danghwangs/status/1683884236888223744

And for people who would like reference as to what the artworks these incels were up in arms about, Ishmael in the wet suit and Sinclair in the mechanic's outfit.

01/28/2024 Daily Crew Recap

TLDR; Hoist The Ads Charity Donations; Campaign Status Updates; Hunt For the Pirate Home Watch Party; General Morale; Past Renewal Campaign Comparisons; Cast & Crew Sightings; Upcoming Events: Pets for Pirates Jan 29; Love Notes; Daily Darby / Tonight's Taika

=Hoist The Ads Updates =

Looks like the voting is done, and the results are in! @gingerlyvibing was kind enough to break down how much is going where. Just a reminder-- you all made this happen! Everything over the $10K it cost to get the billboard is going to help out these awesome charities! Links to threads: Tumblr / Twitter

Funnily enough, apparently one of the trucks still has the ads on it

== How To Help ==

How To Help Save OFMD Task List - US

How to Help Save OFMD Task List - Outside US

I'm helping some folks over on FB get similar/ the same updates right now, if anyone would like to help give me feedback I'd appreciate it, please just PM me! I have a couple ideas and I want to run them by folks.

== Status Updates ==

Good news! Wb is still having trouble recovering, as it should. Thanks @btweenhisteeth on twitter

==Petition Status==

Over 82K -- going slow, but still ticking up! Takes time all, especially since we're focused on the networks right now. Don't give up!

== Hunt For The Pirate Home Watch Party ==

Had some great turn out all over the world today for the Hunt For the Wilder People watch party. Thank you again to @dandeebakes for getting those coordinated!

Saw some great trends during it, and a lot of people having fun. If you haven't actually seen the movie, I highly recommend it, it's incredibly good!

==General Morale==

So despite things being fairly quiet today, the general vibe from folks has been that we're just in a holding pattern and we're just gonna keep clowning and polite menacing until we hear more word.

== Other Cancelled Series Comparisons ==

Something cool that I saw more of today was several groups doing comparisons with other cancelled TV Shows. Thank you to @OFMDCrew for these stats on twitter.

After they were posted, I did hear conflicting feelings on these (some felt it helped raise their mood, some felt it made it worse). So I wanted to point out a few things:

1. We've done a hell of a lot in 3 weeks (and signatures were our priority for most of the first two weeks, but once David Jenkins lit the beacon 8 days ago, we changed our focus). 2. We had a leadership change mid-all of this with Renew As A Crew. 3. Oh and there's other stuff in the world going on (Palestine) 4. As @saltpepperbeard says in their post "David only posted his "call to arms" just a little over a week ago. Eight days ago." So much has changed and we've STILL accomplished so much in that time too.

We are kicking ass, we really are, I promise you!

Across Twitter / IG / and Tumblr, several people have mentioned they feel like something's "in the air". That's totally a second hand "I have a feeling" thing but as you probably remember, quite a few of us had that as a bad feeling the morning before the show got cancelled. Now, if you're not into that kinda thing-- I would like to mention, that could just be because this crew is so fucking awesome, and that's why the vibe is so good-- because we're leaning on each other and take care of each other. Also when lovely people like @saltpepperbeard (as referenced above) write lovely responses to asks that can always help too. This post made ME feel better, I recommend giving it a read for a little perspective :)

= Cast & Crew Sightings =

1. The weekend is still pretty scarce as usual. Our pirate queen Ruibo Qian has been enjoying a lot of everyone's artwork lately. 2. Nathan Foad announced his con dates 3. Renewal Campaign Related: mostly seeing updates again from our boi Erroll Shand supporting the campaign.

== Pets For Pirates ==

Tomorrow, Jan 29, there will be a Pets for Pirates Even! Share your Pet pictures and use the hashtags:

#PetsForPirates

#AdoptOurCrew

#SaveOFMD

==Love Notes==

I know, I know "Jeez Abby, Shut Up We Already Know How Awesome We Are" Well good! Cause you should! But that won't stop me from saying so again! I'm serious when I say the vibe is so good right now in general because we have such a great crew. You all take such good care of each other and it shows every single day. You helped raise an extra $11,578 that are now going to charities that are going to help so many families, and kids, and that's just from the extra stuff from the Hoist The Ads Campaign -- not including everything else going on. I'm going to include a picture from one of my favorite people @thelatestkate because she does awesome work, and this one applies significantly to all of you. <3

Daily Darby/Tonights Taika

Tonights gifs are brought you by the wonderful @celluloidbroomcloset's Posts: Rhys / Taika

I'm literally watching Green Lanturn this moment because I needed to remember this youngin Taika, so thank you / no thank you for that, but hey I've watched worse for Rhys so I guess I can't complain.

Goodnight Lovelies <3

Phee is lying

I mentioned a theory of mine a few times (or is it hopeful thinking ?) and I decided I could share the big outline. I don't feel very legitimate making this post given that I'm one episode and a half behind, but then again I'm pretty sure I'd earn my clown costume either way.

Phee and Non's relationship : a carefully rushed framing

The cute montage at the beginning of episode 6 never sat well with me. DFF knows how to take its time ; how to develop characters, hint at dynamics without having to spell it out. And suddenly one of the most important relationships in the series is summed up in a five minutes montage ? Are you kidding me ? After that we get one scene (the bracelet one by the river) before their relationship starts to crumble upon the weight pressuring Non.

In other words, we get nothing. Most of my attachment for this couple stemmed from a) boundless joy at finally seeing someone, anyone on Non's side and b) Ta and Barcode eating ever single one of their scenes. Aside from this cute beginning, it's just Phee trying to help Non and Non not being mentally nor emotionally available for anything.

They could have done better. They could have shown us more. But they didn't. I know a common conception is that a montage with the occasional slo-mo fits the "first and naïve love" theme buuuuut I don't like it because I don't like it, sue me.

Let's see what they did show us first ; when you give so little, there's no room for triviality. And then I have just a few details I picked up on (or excavated and extrapolized like a mad scientist) that come feed my "Phee is a lying liar that lies" theory. But first, here goes a montage breakdown.

One : first in person meeting

There are several interesting points here. Phee is standing and bending to Non's level, Non is acting cute and waving his hand like a child would ; the groundwork of their relationship is laid down. Phee is the one taking care of Non. But what I found truly noteworthy is this :

"Do you wanna meet up ?"

Phee is taken aback by Non's suggestion. He clearly didn't expect him to do that. Except you don't have expectations for strangers or vague acquaintances. By that point, Phee and Non have been messaging for long enough for Phee to know Non quite well and for the both of them to smile like idiots upon meeting. How long exactly ? Nobody knows.

Two : perfect date and the start of a series of promises

Three or four shots of a traditional, happy date, what more could we ask for. Genuinely. Sad Non, abused Non, crying Non is brought back to a softer world. He earned this level of cliché and happiness. There's also the pinky finger promise ; that's what interests me the most, not as a singular instance but as the start of a pattern. Promises are a running theme in Phee and Non's relationship. As willing as Phee is to take oaths, he's quick to fail them -hell, just one episode prior he wasn't here for Non and it resulted in a suicide attempt. The situation with Keng isn't Phee's first failure.

Three : Non's home

Here Non is letting Phee in his home, his room -his life. And he does so with glee. We've seen beforehow Non tends to keepto himself. Jin has to try a lot and try hard to get him to open up a bit, so whatever happens here is meaningful.

Phee taking his manga from Non could be read as them not sharing common interests (unlike Jin, my imaginary public argues with a nod). I personally saw it as them being comfortable enough to do their own thing while sharing space, until Phee got bored. Or horny. Or both. No sex scenes are shown, which has to be intentional. Phee gets a graphic sex scene with Jin, Non gets a graphic sex scene with Keng -but none for Pheenon. There's enough suggestion that the audience will get the idea, and I haven't pinpointed what lies behind that choice, but it's definitely there. They go back and forth between tooth-rottingly cute and buying a house in the bone-zone.

Four : being each other's whole world

They're both giddy and running to find each other. Their families don't understand because they haven't told ; it's their own little world (and in Non's case probably his only happy place with no worries).

Five : the kiss scenes

The sensual aura that built up in all previous scenes reaches its peak here. Once again nothing is shown in terms of sex, yet you can feel the physical attraction just as well. I might be getting off the rails by saying that while they're honest, they also virtually keep things private. They show us the truth, but an amputated, rushed one.

Just like I suppose Phee gives Jin an amputated and rushed version of what happened.

Six : The river

Ah, yes, the river scene. I won't be talking about the longer one with the bracelet yet cause it's separate from the little glimpses we got so far (it has dialogue, for one). But this ? This is gold to my brain.

An apple. Not only are they both biting it, but Non's eyes are open and staring right at Phee, while Phee's are closed. Non is holding it too. Now I know the apple symbolism is a Chrisitian one and we're in Thailand, but that little detail struck me as odd when Phee and "Tan" were introduced :

We're entering full clown territory cause the cross was probably hung there like the curtains are probably just goddamn blue, but I added a badly drawn plan of how our brains read images, starting from top left corner (where the cross is) to skim over the middle in a downward axis to the bottom left (Fluke, Jin, the more innocent ones actually I just realized) and then to the bottom right. The cross is what we see first.

And then, wouldn't you know, our lovely apple comes back as New and Phee are discussing the boys -and where New is out to get them, Phee is already giving even Por the benefit of doubt. He's also keeping his left hand behind his back. I'll get back to Phee's left hand, but the apple comes first.

If the cross is any indication, and that we get two apples, then the first one that's set in the past, a flashback in a flashback, could be the Old Testament version, a fall from heaven ; and the second one that Phee is eating by himself, not blindly this time, could be the New Testament version as redemption from the original sin. Not to mention the greenery around them, almost like a garden.

"But then doesn't it mean that Phee, after falling for Non, starts to get redemption for failing him by saving the boys from New ?"

You know what, MAYHAPS. It could work, I guess. But same as the manga reading scene, it could go many ways. I personally think the redemption he longs for is redemption for having let Non down so badly. Besides, I don't think New is ready to kill people yet in that scene. He's just trying to gather evidence for now, and Phee knows it. So why defend those boys ? Jin I could understand, but Por ? And protect them from what, exactly ? Getting justice served and truth exposed for something they actually did ? If they're innocent, what's the rush in getting New to let go ?

Why wouldn't Phee be trying to keep New safe ?

Look it's not that far-fetched I swear. First I'm going with the fact that Phee knows Non is alive and got in contact with him somehow. One because I stand by my words, this is a face that calls for murder.

And two, the ring tattoo. I don't think it's a continuity error. And he just so happens to keep his arm hidden behind his back when trying to stir New into giving up on his search. As a sign he's actually carrying on Non's wish ? I'd love that.

Then someone in the group has to be in contact with the masked man, the ninth person, or else they wouldn't have known when to expect the group. Unless they literally live in those woods, which is also possible.

There's also a long post I'd started about how the show always plays by the rules, not even trying to be surprising in the decision it takes (A guy dying early on in a slasher, Phee being Non's boyfriend, Tan being New, both of them being part of the scheme) but pulling the rug off under our feet in the execution (no one else of importane having died after Por, quiet Tan being the one to murder people while decisive Phee is crying about, etc). Which gives me the feeling that it will be the same here and that Phee is much more of a mastermind than he's been whining on to Jin.

Speaking of Jin, it would also explain why Phee has been investigating him specifically. They might have been trying to determine if he'd done anything, had leaked the video or not. When push came to shove, Phee played the honesty card to get him to confess. And. He. Did.

Not to say Phee doesn't have genuine feelings for Jin, and that it doesn't make him feel torn and confused. But the fact that they banged right after Jin reminded him of Non more strongly also isn't something I'd ignore.

Anyway, I'm getting tired, short version :

Tl;dr :

I think Phee and Non's relationship was actually much stronger than we've been shown, that Phee knows Non is alive because he's the only person Non would have contacted and works with him. He was tasked with keeping New away from all this because Non doesn't want him to get hurt, but also doesn't trust him enough to tell him anything (remember that New was defined by his absence prior to Non's disappearance, only there to serve as a hurtful point of comparison, and that he wasn't close at all to Non to begin with, regardless of how much he regrets now ; I don't think Non factored New would go that far for him in his plan). The revenge plot is already underway for Non, and Phee is trying to keep things going the way they should.

Here it is. It was itching my brain and I slept very badly because of it, but I AM NOW FREE.

#dead friend forever #I don't know it was running in circles in my head #especially after seeing so many people boo Phee after ep 10 #It got my brain going 'hmmmm ain't that just too easy' #cause everyone seemed to think it was too easy indeed #it could just be Phee being a little stoopid yes but come. on. #what am I supposed to do with my braincells if I stop at that #dff the series

do you know how fucking mad i am at the fact that the webcomic gave us lloyd giving javier his own mana in an attempt to save his life and javier overcoming literal dimensional differences in order to be able to accept it into his body effectively foreshadowing how far he's willing to go just to be able to protect lloyd,,,, but they did it all with a fucking 'haha lloyd is ugly' joke. do you.

this could've been one of the best scenes in the entire thing. it could've been such a pivotal point for their character development. it could've been one of the most earnest moments in the story. but it's made into a joke because they just need to draw the ugliest faces possible to make a cheap joke that has been made a hundred times already. i'm not being funny i'm genuinely mad at the wasted potential lmao

the tone of the scene was changed from the webnovel so much it's almost unrecognizable. and not in a good way. like. why would you cheapen the emotional core of your own story like this. do you trust your own plot and characters so little to keep your readers engaged with the story that you feel the need to make everything in a joke. is that it. was the original story not funny enough to keep your attention so you think no one will care if you turn what's meant to be an earnest and heartwarming scene into a joke you've made hundreds of time before.

i'm not. mad. about the changes themselves (mostly). like i said this particular scene had so much potential to compliment the original story and foreshadow the ending that i'm actually upset that the tone and art made it so i can't in good faith say i like it.

they just. shot themselves in the foot by trying to make the scene funny. all the tension and emotional built up is wasted when the webcomic makes fun of itself. it cannot take itself seriously so i can't either.

like. it was going so well. i loved the built up with the scene where they talk about javier's parents and you see that they're still emotionally guarded with each other, they don't quite feel close enough to the other to call themselves friends even when we know that they care deeply for each other. i liked that they changed it so lloyd had the opportunity to save javier the way he wasn't able to in the novel. i even liked the development with lloyd's mana being so different from javier's that he struggles with accepting it, cause it was a chance to call forward to a very important event in the future.

the scene where they're reaching for each other as they realize that yes, they're friends and god help them they will save their friend no matter what?? gorgeous i loved it so much, it wasn't 'We'll be together forever, just like we've always been. Casually. As natural as breathing air.' yeah but it was perfectly okay on it's own too.

and then they do this.

like. what.

all that emotional built up, all that tension, all of it,,, for this?? this????

what's the point of making your audience feel emotionally engaged with the story if you're just gonna make the art equivalent of a fart noise. a well executed yet still completely out of place fart noise lmao

it doesn't feel funny, it just makes me feel like i wasted my time being emotionally invested in something that isn't interested in delivering. it's like watching someone setting up dominoes to topple them in a gorgeous pattern only for them to put on clown shoes and start kicking them all over the place without rhyme or reason. like yeah they're in their right but then what was the point of all that work in the first place.

and yeah maybe it's my fault for expecting something earnest and heartfelt from a webcomic that has shown multiples times that it's not interested on that but like. is it really too much to expect for an adaptation to, well, adapt the original source in a way that doesn't feel like it's making fun of it??

#i talk a lot <3 #tged #the greatest estate developer #lloyd frontera #javier asrahan #i'm just. so sad. and angry. and tired. #this is not fun anymore asjdhkjasa

So in The Amazing Digital Circus, It seems like all the humans have 'avatars/bodies that somewhat correspond to their personality (From what little we've seen)

Ragatha is an old Rag doll, a toy from someone's childhood, and she's seemingly the most forwardly kind and caring of the Circus. She gives Pomni actual advice on how to survive and cope with being in the circus, her first line being "Let's just try to calm down, everything is going to be fine" Like one might imagine their toy telling them when they are frightened.

Jax is a rabbit. Jax is also a JackAss, but because there's no swearing in the Circus, it likely 'Autocorrected' to Jack Rabbit. not only that, but his Bugs-Bunnian attitude and shenanigans shine brightly in how he acts. (Now, Jax is mean, but I don't know that he's evil. But he is mean)

Kauffmo, from what little we know of him, was a Jokester. Ragatha and Gangle both referencing not finding his jokes funny (Ragatha Laughing to make him feel Better, Gangle not.) Being a clown would make sense for someone who wants good-hearted fun, unlike Jax.

Gangle, while we don't have much of her, seems to have something wrong separate to being in the circus? This one is definitely a stretch, but maybe Gangle has something similar to BPD? With Tragedy representing Depression and Comedy representing Mania? or She's literally masking her sadness for others?

I only have one Idea of what Zooble's deal could be, but given their heavy "Mean (Girl)" Vibe, it could be a center of attention thing?

I don't know, we're theorizing here.

Now, for Kinger and Pomni, who seem to have the most connection.

Pomni is a Jester. Not a clown, A jester, which are very different. Clowns make fools of themselves to get other's to laugh. Jester's were employed by Royalty for entertainment, to jest.This gave them impunity to speak freely about whatever subject matter may be at hand.

Pomni, the latest addition, has the clearest sense of the outside world has the freedom to speak freely about the circus, likely in part of not being used to the circus.

Kinger, who has been in the circus longest and is the oldest, is the least attached to reality, often blanking out and reacting slowly to what happens to him. In spite of this, He seems to be the most technically knowledgeable about the goings on of the circus

Insect Collection -> The Gloink Queen acting as a Queen Bee (Eating things and making more of their species)

He knew Kauffmo was going Crazy/had gone crazy talking about an exit before the reveal.

At the end he talks about how the food wasn't actually being eaten, only giving the feeling of being eaten.

There was also the "Queener" door that was crossed out.

Kinger seemingly is smarter than he's let on, and as much as Caine can't directly affect people's minds, he can give them experiences.

And, assuming Kinger did make the Circus (with help given the complexity of what it would take to program the Circus,) He would have the greatest likelihood of survival, since he would know how the world worked unlike pretty much any one else, only turning paranoid after years of survival and losing others.

Pomni and Kinger, the newest and Oldest residents, a Jester and a King, the most grounded and most out there.

I'd be willing to bet Pomni will get Kinger (If he's the creator) To get them all out of the circus and back into the real world.

Of course we are only one episode in, and I could have missed somethings, either said by the creators or a line I'm forgetting about.

Going on a trip down memory lane in honor of the WOH concert's 2nd anniversary!

When May 3 rolled around everyone had mixed feelings because on one hand: YAY LLD REUNITING ON STAGE WITH THE REST OF THE GREMLIN CAST! but on the other, farewell concerts mean the end of the show's promotion period which also marks the end of interactions between the main actors. And worse, it also marks the start of CP breaking, whether it's just the actors being more distant and reserved with each other throughout the concert (compared to when they were promoting the show) or in the worst cases, like the Love and Redemption concert, where they broke CP so brutally.

But the worst of all (for me at least) is the gloating. The gloating of solo fans, the gloating of the fans of other CPs, and the ever insufferable presence of yxh accounts that have been trying (and failing) to make up conflict between GJ and ZZH the very moment the show started getting the tiniest bit of attention. When it was announced that their Tom Ford livestream was to be done separately, it was made a big deal with all those vultures screaming all over weibo how they were finally "competing with each other", and yxhs fanning the flames at the sidelines.

So when the concert rolled around the atmosphere in the fandom was bittersweet. The more experienced fans were telling us what to expect and going: "They'll probably break CP. There's nothing we can do except hope they'll do it gently".

But as we've learned before, the WOH fandom is a circus and the WOH cast our ever indulgent clowns. Fans found out that GJ and ZZH were sharing a dressing room for the concert and everyone lost their shit. And that's when we knew we were fools to think this farewell concert would be like every other farewell concert, because nothing about this fandom has been normal from the start 😂

In private, a lot of us were gearing each other up for the very strong possibility that GJ and ZZH will nowhere be as close in the concert as they seemed to be when they were promoting WOH. Turns out, not only did they seem even closer and more touchy than before, but the rest of the cast seemed to have finally snapped and lost their marbles altogether. Solo fansites were whining about how hard it was to get good solo photos of GJ and ZZH because they stuck close to each other throughout the entire event.

Even better, they didn't seem conscious of the attention at all. The crowd in the concert hall screamed at the smallest interactions between them and they didn't even look fazed. I wouldn't have blamed them if the screaming made them feel awkward and conscious, but the fact that they just didn't care and even occasionally played along with the hoard of screaming shippers just made me appreciate them even more for being so natural about it and not treating it as something to be ashamed of.

And going beyond showing it with actions, ZZH also verbally acknowledged the fans that like both of them in his speech at the end of the concert. It's often said in CN fan circles that being a CPF from a BL drama is the hardest road to take as a fan (in c-ent at least) because it puts you at the very bottom of the fan heirarchy. CPFs in general are at the very bottom of the fan pyramid but BL CPFs in particular are considered to be even lower. It's a given not to mention you or acknowledge you, and you should only exist in the very fringes of fandom. That's why a lot of BL novel fans (I'm talking about c-fandom specifically) don't really like live action adaptations or their actors, because to them these actors are just using the stories they love to gain popularity, and once they get what they want are quick to toss it and its fans aside as some kind of dark and shameful secret of the past that has to be buried. That's why ZZH's acknowledgement at the end of the concert meant a lot to CPFs, because finally, they get to have a 'seat' at the table along with everyone else.

And of course, the promise and the hug that melted even the most jaded c-fandom veterans 😂

It was really a privilege to be allowed to witness this moment. They could have taken the easier path but chose instead to share this moment with us. It truly was amazing to see them hug and firmly cement their relationship (whatever it may be) in front of thousands of people (with many more watching through the stream) when the norm in the industry is to break CP at this point.

And boy did they mean it. Months after the end of the concert, they were still stubbornly expressing a sense of unity and support for each other. At a time when toxic ZZH fans were really ramping up their attacks against GJ, ZZH pinned his and GJ's duet on his weibo page not only once, but twice. When the livestream host refused to read out a fan's username that had ZZH's name on it, GJ bluntly asked her to read it out loud, saying that censoring it out "isn't polite".

And you gotta wonder if that's part of what all this is about. Since February 2021, there have been many attempts to discredit the close relationship between them and not only has it not stopped, it has gotten much worse. ZZH is no longer in the picture (publicly, at least) but they're still at it and their tactics growing more and more brutal and unhinged the more time passes. In the beginning, ZZH was the evil one who forced poor innocent GJ to do CP marketing with him, and now GJ is somehow an evil mastermind who used ZZH to do CP marketing against his will and crushing him after. Just what is this obsession? It's been almost two years now, ZZH is out of the public eye, his career halted indefinitely, and they're still at it. I'm sure there's more to it but I can't help but feel that part of the reason for all this is because in an industry that rewards the people who are willing to pull off the dirtiest tactics, and encourages the worst kind of competition, GJ and ZZH dared to to treat each other with so much sincerity and kindness.

And just so this post doesn't end on an angsty note, remember when after the concert people were crying and hugging each other, having mental and emotional breakdowns, only to see, about an hour later, videos of GJ and ZZH laughing and giggling onstage, whispering in each other's ear, and then singing "Love to fight if you want to win" together like a pair of newlyweds? Yeah. While the rest of us peons were crying our hearts out, those two were busy treating the concert afterparty like a wedding banquet. Truly the life of an NPC.

And lastly, before I become too emo and write five more paragraphs, I just want to say that even if I'm no longer posting as much about them, I'm always still here waiting.

𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐂𝐊 𝐈𝐍 𝐘𝐎𝐔 - platonic.

flash warning !

summary : in which [name], yuuji, megumi, and nobara had one mission to eliminate the curse but found themselves in each other's bodies.

pairing : none because why not ?

notes : if you know by who i was inspired by for your powers mwah on ur forehead + i hate writing with "you" so i'll go back with "she"🫶🏿. + a lot of time skip + it is awful <3

─────  Sitting in the front with Ijichi, you took the time to give yourself a makeover, which you missed this morning due to the sudden knock on the door. Not paying attention to what was going on around you, you turned your gaze to your brunette friend. "Nobara, is my liner all right? I think the one on the right is longer.” 

Feeling stressed under the hard gaze of the girl who proceeded to shake her head - “Nothing to worry, your liner looks perfect !” A sigh of relief left your mouth not noticing the stares of the boys behind you. However, a clearing of the throat caught your attention: it was Ijichi. Understanding his signal, you put your make-up away and took the time to listen. 

"A level two curse had been reported in an abandoned amusement park,”  he explained calmly under the attentive ears of the young teenagers, “we don’t have much information on it, nobody seemed to have been attacked by it.” He finished while parking the car, you and Nobara could only wince at this lack of information. 

“So we're being thrown into the lion's den, I’m not even surprised anymore.” 

“It’s not Ijichi-san’s fault.” 

“Don’t worry Ijichi-san we’ll take care of it, right guys ?” Optimistic as ever, Yuuji managed to get a smile from the black hair - nervous, admittedly, but a smile nonetheless - while Megumi simply nodded, Nobara returned a confident smile and you rolled your eyes before looking at your watch. 

Seeing the time on the clock, your eyes widened in surprise, you rushed towards the boys and grabbed them by the collar - "We've got to hurry, I've got a date with that boy in two hours! If I miss it, I promise you'll never see the light of day again." The duo nervously sweat dropped at your sudden change of attitude, but did not say anything.

"Don't forget I have to help you with your outfit!" Nobara added as she joined you right after you.

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

The closer the creepier it would get, yet it was the morning you couldn’t imagine the color pattern at night a shiver came tickling your spine. First thing that welcomed your group was the huge clown’s head which saw itself losing its colors. His mouth was wide open, smiling mockingly. No matter how much you looked around, everything seemed to be really scary, and nothing he found as an attraction attracted you, making you wonder how this park ever worked.

“This place gives me the creeps . .” You mumbled while following your friends, Yuuji on the other hand seemed quite in awe of the place, “Man I wish I could have been here before it got closed !” he said with his tone revealing all of his happiness, the three of you could even see stars in his eyes.

You only frowned at his statement before remembering how much he loves these kinds of things, noticing how calm the place was when you opened your mouth - “Guys, I think we should split into duos. It would be much easier, plus we don’t know what to expect.” - As you talked you looked at each of them, seeing their expressions reassured you, they seemed to agree.

“I agree, I’ll go with Nobara and you’ll go with Itadori.” 

With firm nods you parted ways and started to walk along with the pink hair, carefully looking around there were some distorting mirrors that were more or less in good condition, seeing your reflection lying there Yuuji couldn't help but let out a laugh. You couldn't let the smile spread across your face. Yuuji was a ball of happiness, but only moments later the creature's presence grew stronger and stronger. 

“Yuuji be ready I can feel it.” 

“Play with me . .” A distorted sounding voice began to echo in your ears, repeating the same words, warning you of a creature that was surprisingly small in stature. But it contained a great mass of occult energy. The creature was adorable in appearance, small and round with short legs that happened to be hidden by its body, it was pastel blue and had large black eyes that looked like spiral squiggles.

“It has to be the cutest curse I’ve ever seen.” You admitted, “Sorry sweetie but playing with you won’t be possible.” Removing your earrings, two new figures appeared: twins with blond hair, one of whom happened to be slightly taller than his brother. 

"I've missed your beauty so much!" It was Yuto, who was on one knee on the ground kissing your hand as Kuto looked on in disgust - "Now I understand why her ego seems to grow bigger every day..." Murmuring the pink-haired sweat dropping  in front of the stage, your amount of confidence would sometimes be at the same level as your teacher.

“It's for things like this that I like to summon you Yuto you always know what to tell me but enough talk, let's get to work!" 

The two curse weapons were transformed into firearms, making it possible to attack from a distance while Yuuji took care of the close-range attack, which seemed to work at the start of the fight. Until it opened its mouth, sucking up everything in its path. You hated that feeling of humiliation you felt towards such a tiny opponent, and that sensation of being sucked in you could only be drawn towards the curse. 

Trying to shield your face, you saw your friend clinging to a lamppost that was about to fly into the wolf's mouth. "Kuto, Yuto we have to help Yuuji!" you cried, "Yuuji catch!" you threw him one of your weapons, a white light appeared and a rope appeared binding you both together. 

Trying to pull as hard as you could, it seemed impossible.

“What’s going on ?!” Nobara was holding you by the waist, pushing you towards her, and Megumi was standing there.

“We’re having fun,” you stated sarcastically, "The goal of the game is simple: the first one who ends up in the stomach is the one - no but what do you think?!" Glaring at you, the brunette didn't have time to reply before she felt herself being sucked in, the four of you can only let out screams before being swallowed.

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

Opening your eyes slowly, you stroked the top of your head and let out a groan, feeling a slight headache as you did so. Nobara happened to be the first to wake up - "Aah Nobara we're alive, is my hair all right you know how much trouble I had styling it this morning!" At the sound of your voice you stopped immediately, your voice had become much deeper, with a lighter gentleness added to it. Wanting to be sure, you turned to see your body waking up. 

"Tell me I'm dreaming ..." You fell to your knees, grabbing 'your' face as exaggerated tears streamed down Itadori's face, and then it was Nobara's turn to panic, as she was in Megumi's body. 

"We need to find a solution and I don't like it at all!"

"Hey, my body's not that bad!" 

"Not only am I in it, but Sukuna's in it too, If I need to remind you!" 

"Oh..I forgot."

"She's right, [name] doesn't necessarily have the ability to control your body like you do. This is turning out to be a lot more complicated than I expected."  Explained Megumi who was trapped in Nobara's body, eyebrows frowned thumb and forefinger under her chin.The Nobara who was trapped in Megumi's body nodded. 

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

Later in the morning you found yourself forced to cancel your date with the handsome brunette you had met at the mall. Currently you found yourself sitting in Yuuji's office chair waiting for more  suitable clothes.For the shopping trip you planned with Nobara while waiting for the curse to be found. A few moments later Yuuji pulled out a sweatshirt and a pair of jogging bottoms. "Here, this should be okay !"

“Hmm sure, and here you go,” you handed him your clothes before standing up,”Do not get dressed before I come back.” It was out of the question for him to see your body without you knowing, it would be embarrassing, so you went back to your room and undressed with your eyes closed. Not wanting to see Itadori's body, you used your touch to change and it was easy to get changed. 

Looking at yourself in the mirror, you worked out a few details before taking your make-up kit and accessories with you. Hurrying towards his room, you knocked before entering - "It's about time I thought you - er, why do you have so much stuff in your hands?" You laughed at the look on his face before placing your equipment on his desk. 

"What question is that, my face loves being pumped so that's what I'm going to do. Come on, close your eyes." You removed the uniform from your body, leaving it in your underwear, before stacking your outfit piece by piece. 

A white off shoulder cashmere showed off your shoulders and stopped at the level of your hips, while the bottoms were a pair of low-rise gray-blue jeans decorated with a belt. You slipped on a simple pair of trainers before starting on the make-up. As much as you liked taking care of yourself and putting on make-up, today you were thinking much more about your friend's comfort, after all, he was the one in your body, so you put extravagance to one side. 

“You look so pretty,” pushing him in front of the mirror, letting him admire your work,”What do you think ?” 

"You've done a great job [name] as usual!" He gave you a thumbs-up as he smiled, "Although the circumstances are still bizarre ... ..." He scratched the back of his (your) head. 

“Don’t remind me.”

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

It was in a somewhat chaotic mood that the clothes fitting for you and the brunette took place. You would have liked to see the clothes on your bodies, but for obvious reasons this was not possible. Nevertheless, you did pick up a few pieces. Continuing your walk through the shop alongside the brunette, you spotted a cuddly toy that reminded you of him, who was sulking nearby. 

"Look at these fake nails, they're so cute! 

"They'd totally suit you!"

"Well girls, we're getting a bit tired here!" Yuuji complained, getting confused looks from the customers, while Megumi (in Nobara's body) pretended not to know you, bothered by the sudden attention. Rolling your eyes, you headed for the till to pay for your shopping before joining the boys (in each of the girls' bodies) waiting outside the shop. 

Once you'd finished, you joined the duo waiting for you as they walked together out of the shopping center. A café caught your eye - " How about a little something to eat before we go back? Smiling, you pointed to the café, receiving positive responses. 

"But you pay." Said Nobara (in Megumi's form), walking past you (Yuuji's form), owlishly blinking your eyes confused you pointed at yourself (Yuuji's form).

"Yeah it was your idea after all.." Seconded the real black hair, stuck into the brunette's body.

"You guys are the worst." You grumbled walking behind them a pout on your face (Yuuji's face). Walking in the cafe, everything inside was so pretty, the pastel colour palette dominating every corner of the shop making you feel like a princess in a man's body. The pastries in the window made you want to eat them, they were so pleasing to the eye, but in the mouth? The joy of being in the body of a growing teenage boy!

Arriving at the counter you all took your order, which you had the false joy of paying for. Sitting down at a table, you began to eat, but you stopped Yuuji in his tracks, grabbing his wrist. "Don't move." You took out your phone and took a picture of him (your appearance).

"Come on [name] I'm hungry!!!"

"Yes, two seconds, I can still take photos of myself can't I?!"

"There's not a second where you can't stop embarrassing me …"

"You'll have to get used to them, Fushiguro." Says Nobara said as she sipped her drink, watching you and the pink-haired girl argue meanwhile the spiky hair (in Nobara's body) could only sweat dropped at her statement.

"[name] I thought you couldn't go out today ?"

Hearing your name, you stopped pulling on your body, which had been conquered by Itadori. Turning, you met the dark-haired man with whom you were to spend the day. Yutso. He looked at your body, his eyebrows furrowed and his mouth slightly open.

The whole table was silent, an atmosphere of embarrassment hanging over you but not seeming to affect the young man who was waiting for an answer. Stumbling over your words, you finally tried to open your mouth but were quickly cut off.

"You should have tell me if you wanted to spend time with your friends over me I would've understand . . ."

He offered you a forced smile veiling his sadness, ashamed you lowered your head (Itadori's head). Your body seemed completely elsewhere before being kicked by the duo who had noticed your discomfort with the situation, both of them began to glare at him.

Clearing his throat (your throat) Yuuji spoke, "I'm sorry for lying to you, I was caught in a family situation with my cousins over here and I didn't want to bother you with my problems. ." Yuuji softly explained.

"I understand but, if you want to talk about it I'm here and if you want to take your mind off it we can always plan a date for another day." Then he hurried on, "I mean, if you want to!"

"I would love that !" It took you five seconds before you realized your mistake due to the look you received from the latter who was looking at you with wide eyes, you corrected yourself before continuing "For the two of you I meant."

"You have some supportive cousins I see !" Yuuji nodded, and accepted the invitation for you before greeting the brunette who had to leave.

"I can't believe I had to witness your hormonal surge." Just hearing that voice it irked you.

"Not the wannabe Ben 10 alien talking now . ."

Ignoring the words coming out of the mouth that had appeared on your cheek, you were happy with the course of things and ate with peace of mind while chatting with your friends.

“I almost forgot,” you said before rummaging in your bag, pulling out a plushie, it was a brown rabbit with pink bows that was at ear level, “She reminded me of you, adorable and so kind. Plus it's a thanks for coming with me and Yutso." You handed him the gift happy to know that he was liked it.

"Woah you're the best [name] it's so sweet, thank you !"

At the same moment you found yourself with the cuddly toy in your hands, then you looked ahead and saw Itadori in front of you, looking to your left and seeing Kugisaki looking back at you. You quickly understood and you both high five, again giving the cuddly toy to Itadori, the four of you let out a breath of relief.

"Ah I missed my body, we should thanks Gojo-sensei after !"

"Agree !" The rest of them immediately nodded. Grateful for his help. But knowing your teacher.

"Thinking about it, he will probably remind us how humiliating that mission was for us and mock us so how about we ignore him ?" You asked, they all nodded excepted Yuuji who was enjoying his plushie and food.

"You're right."

[booasaur]

Unwell.

And another anon:

God damn Lioness had me going and then that. I clowned myself.

And another anon:

That was heartbreaking..... Cruz was used, Joe was used too to be very honest, they're all just pawns in The Game. All it will do is exactly like Cruz said, make another generation of terrorists, just because the rich wanted some more money. Aaliyah just sitting there - I wonder what's going on in her mind. I wish they'd been together one last time, if I was Cruz I'd wanted that for myself and Aaliyah was so willing because she wanted it for herself too. It's all so sad and nobody wins. They survived but at what cost? Aaliyah doesn't even know Cruz's real name, just her as Zara, a kind and honest friend. Does she know it was "Zara" that killed her father and fiancé? She will I guess. Is season 2 going to happen and would they continue with the story or just invent a new one? Would Aaliyah hate Cruz? Would Cruz come back to make amends (can she even?) or would she be so guilt-ridden she punishes herself instead?

Haha, yeahhhhh.

First: I was wrong. Have to say that up front, I was wrong about the ending! I really thought there'd be no way Cruz would be escaping at the end while Aaliyah was fine behind, I thought they simply wouldn't be able to resist having her die.

I should probably really do something about my pessimism because at first, I was operating on the assumption that Aaliyah was left alive to be part of next season and since that "creating the next generation of terrorists" line was immediately followed by a jump to Aaliyah putting together the pieces, I was like, oh, she's going to be the next big bad, so they've only delayed her death while also making her a terrorist. Hah, you can imagine how I felt about THAT.

But reading other people's reactions, I guess I only assumed this same set of characters would return and it might be a different mission led by Joe, since Zoe Saldana has indicated she's returning (if there's another season), or just, it could be something still continuing this overall mission...? I dunno, it felt kind of not only complete, but unnecessary? It all felt kind of unnecessary and pointless at the end, so then it's like, what's the point of the show at all? Like you said, third anon, it's just game pieces being moved around, how are we going to take the next thing seriously? Do it or not, it's just dollar signs to some people. Actually, I did admire that a bit, tbh, acknowledging for this particular audience what the war on terror really is, and also how so many US actions actually just create more terrorists.

Anyway, if this is the end of Cruz and Aaliyah's story, that is for SURE heartbreaking. One of the things I've always hated about BYGs it that they aside from a usually undeserved and too-early death for the character, it's also cutting short their story onsreen, and well, this might be another way of doing that. I'm not even sure what'll happen to Aaliyah, her family will blame her and limit her even more, and she was already feeling so trapped and as if nobody cared about her. And the one person who does, who really, really does, she'll think was just using her.

Tbh, I admire Cruz more for not going there that last time even as much as she wanted to, because with everything, that wouldn't have been fair to Aaliyah, to have the woman she slept with just minutes ago killing her dad and running off. In fact, I wonder, with how obvious Cruz was being, if Aaliyah will eventually realize at least some of it was real for her. She'll find out a lot about her, anyway, since Ehsan left it on his computer before running off.

My ultimate feelings about this really depend on how the next season's planned to go. Is this truly it for these two? Then I'm not sure I hate that, if it's left to our imagination what might happen, because I just don't think the Cruz we've seen wouldn't at least try to reach out to her. I could see her nobly staying away if it's what would help Aaliyah, but as it is, Aaliyah's stuck in a pretty tough spot!

But still, this IS better than a BYG to me because story has at least the potential to continue, one way or another. Deaths are so final. This reminds me of the s2 finale and hiatus for The 100, which, ignore what happened in s3, lol, but letting Lexa leave and then the fandom waiting to hear if she'd return. Both still alive, there are a lot of ways to come back from that.

[ask-the-tower-bros]

Hello brothers! Whatcha you two think about the others that was/are in the tower?

"that's a question I can answer."

PEPPINO:

"Real stand up guy. We wouldn't be here without him. He's got a kind heart, even if he's a bit anxious."

"I owe everything to Peppino Spaghetti. Without him we would have been trapped in that tower forever."

GUSTAVO AND BRICK:

"Proper sweethearts, the both of them. You can always trust a guy with a good bushy mustache."

"Gustavo is a very nice man...gnome...person. Always makes sure to ask how I'm doing if he sees me. He takes good care of Brick."

MR STICK:

"He's a character alright."

"I observed him a bit in the tower. From what I gathered he seemed like not too bad a guy behind the snarky businessman persona. Gerome's right though, he's certainly a character."

PEPPERMAN:

"I like quiet. I like keeping my thoughts to myself. Pepperman does not like either of those things. His heart's in a good place. Do peppers have hearts?"

"he was one of the few tower inhabitants that had no qualms talking to me. But he often didn't shut up. He painted me very nicely sometimes, though."

THE VIGILANTE:

"He keeps to himself, I can respect that. We've shared a smoke and chatted before, we get along well."

"I never really saw him. And when I did, he was rather unnerved by the whole hivemind thing, so he kept away."

THE NOISE:

"He's loud and messy. But he's Noisette's boyfriend, so he can't possibly be all that bad."

"He is absolutely all that bad. He loved to vandalize the parts of the tower I controlled. And his art was not very good, I'm afraid."

NOISETTE:

"She's a darling. I spend a lot of time at her cafe, even if her food isn't the most edible. She just radiates good energy."

"She'd always take the time to talk to me back in the tower. Brought me food as well. I consider her a friend."

FAKE PEPPINO:

"...weird. Eats some food scraps off the ground and makes my job easier, though. Cheers to that."

"I spent a lot of time in the tower watching him and providing him shelter. Poor thing is utterly lost, metaphorically speaking. I heard he's got a job at Peppino's now, which is good for him."

PIZZAHEAD:

"He was my boss, technically. I don't have nothing nice to say about them."

"Mark my words, if I ever catch a whiff of that greasy clown, I'll mash his head into silly putty and then some, and then I'll-"

"I don't think they want to hear all the painful things you want to do to them... Even if it's justified. Sorry bruv."

[roo-bastmoon]

Roo is a bit of a party pooper here. (But Roo does not poop at parties.)

A GENTLE WORD OF CAUTION REGARDING STREAMS, ALBUMS, and SYMBOLS

First and foremost, streams are dropping like hell this weekend. So please run playlists on all possible devices (I'll put links at the bottom of this post). PLEASE DO NOT NEGLECT STREAMING as we are in the red.

Of course we need to focus on Angel right now. However, Like Crazy, Face, and Jimin himself are predicted to be nominated for song, best album, and artist of the year for MAMA. Actual trophy awards at a broadcast year-end award show! But the digital points are low for song and album, so we need to work on CONSISTENT global streaming for Jimin in addition to all our boys every single day!

Second, a Naver article stated that Jungkook's album will drop on July 14th. Another Naver article reported on that article, and then a bunch did. We've been here before, where the media ran with a bit of gossip and then got clowned later.

What the company SAID was:

“The schedule is yet to be finalized, and is to be announced subsequently.”

Now, JJK1 could very well drop in five weeks. But I've heard no chatter anywhere about final touches on post-production, album design, distribution plans, or promotional schedules... they don't just put the songs in a can and then press a button and it's out in the world.

Plus, a year ago, there was a strategic plan shared with investors that mentioned Q4 for him (though that was more of a road map than a firm commitment).

JK did say during last year's Festa that he'd go after Yoongi. So maybe it will happen as soon as July? That would be wonderful, because it seems like Jimin still has music to release, so maybe they can be supportive of each other's projects this summer and fall, before enlisting (hopefully at the same time!).

But I hope JJK1 doesn't go up against the Barbie soundtrack on July 21st because that has so many heavy hitters, my lord, we never catch a break!!

I will just say that JJK1 is one of the most anticipated global releases of the year. It will require a lot of logistics and likely heavy in-person promotion. So I just want to caution folks in getting too emotionally invested about a mid-July date.

It could be. It could not be. Best to wait for an official announcement, which will likely come at least 3 weeks before drop. So let's keep our ears perked after Yoongi's last concert on June 25th...

Third, some folks are reading into a lot of symbols these days. Which is fine! But I'd like to ask that we just be careful with it.

Personally, I only subscribe to a number theory if the timestamp or the numbers that the members write/say are in exact order and we can draw a straight line between that and a known special date. I do not use addition, subtraction, division, or re-ordering of numerals to get to a desired outcome. I don't know K-ARMY who do that either. But I'm not out to crap all over people who do!! It's fun to theorize!

For me, it's fun to look at number stuff the same way it's fun to read tarot cards. We tinker, we point out possible coincidences or patterns... Just please, I gently ask you to keep to theory and not fact. The last thing we want is for someone to cherrypick a screenshot and drag things out of context.

Speaking of symbols and theories becoming fanon facts...

Jimin posted old photos of him looking ADORBS with a tangerine today (which Tae helpfully commented to make sure we'd all understand it was a tangerine, lol). So Yoominners rejoice:

While Jimin's social media DOES feature plenty of Yoongi (D-Day, Suchwita, possibly photos where Yoongi's shoes appear in a mirror) and TikTok dances, plus he did come on live (FROM HIS HOME!!) on Yoongi's birthday... Jimin's social media also has Hobi, Jin, Joon, and Tae on it! But predominantly it's Yoongi who shows up on Jimin's Insta. We haven't had any Jungkook on his Insta since White Day of last year--interactions with Jungkook seem reserved for WeVerse lives and posts.

Make of it what you will.

To my mind, it does seem like certain "soft" subunits were paired up since Festa of last year. (Hobi spread love to everyone, then there was Namjin's DeliciouSeoul commercials, Yoonmin's Busan [??] tourism commercial, Taekook as yet to be determined but it feels like it's coming...) So the lines between work posts and relationship posts also begin to blur a bit for fans, especially since the members all adore each other anyway...

Whether there was a strategic plan in place or not for how what I perceive as soft subunits promote, I don't know.

But meanwhile, certain other "promotions" seem to organically play out: JK sings all his members' new feature songs, but hypes Jimin's the most (on random lives he does without permission). JK came on live often, but a pattern is emerging where that typically happens when Jimin is away or busy. JK hangs out with Tae and went to the Harry concert with other members, but calls for Jimin to join him most often.

Again, it's fun to speculate what this might mean.

Meanwhile, today Joon posted a gym whiteboard workout in which the initials JK and JM appear, and so folks assume minimonikook are getting swole together. I like the mental image, not gonna lie.

And hey y'all! Maybe Jimin is summoning Min Yoongi with a tangerine. Maybe Jikook did hit the gym with Joon and draw on his whiteboard. Maybe Tae did grab a bite with JK in the one day before he dyed his hair and allegedly went to Spain to film a music video. It's fun to speculate. It's what fans do.

I just want to caution folks from stating things the members do or feel as if they know for sure.

Those are cult tactics and, for me at least, the lines are starting to blur a little bit these days between Jikookers and Taekookers... in that folks are more than happy to assume that secret private couple getaway trips are pure fact, that words mumbled off screen say exactly what we want to hear, that the company has a clear-cut nefarious plot to hype specific members and bury others... and that there are hints of Signs and Wonders everywhere.

And maybe these things are shaking out and really happening. But we don't know. So I feel more comfy discussing this sort of thing when people include "I think" or "it seems" or "maybe" as we talk about it--I like to have a little wiggle room--because when I see my fellow Jikookers start to "witness truth," it comes off far more like a religion than a supportive fanbase.

I say this gently because at some point we've all done it, especially when we are in a hurry and speaking casually or joking around. I'm not judging, just cautioning.

Words matter. Believe me, I learned my lesson, and words matter.

And when it comes to Jikook, we don't really need to grasp at straws. While our boys are a lot more private these days, they still have exclusive, intimate tones and touches and interactions that we glimpse.

And the circle around them still heavily imply they come as a package deal. For example...

Fourth and finally, we got this awesome interview with Polyc, who had some wonderful things to say about Jimin and the members:

And it was sort of implied that Jimin spoke many times with Polyc about the membership tattoo over the five months that JK was getting his arm retouched--maybe while they were in the shop together? Maybe while his moon tattoos were getting done? Or maybe not.

But Polyc basically said Jimin was the one to usher each member through the process. (Which is a bit of a different impression than I got last Festa when Tae said "I will go with Jungkookie!" because back then it implied it was JK who acted as the conduit between the members and his tattoo artist, but here's some strong evidence that it was Jimin all along who bounced around ideas and made it happen and comforted each member's anxiety. Interesting.)

It's almost as though Jimin and Jungkook are the soft subunit that never gets official promo but keeps bubbling up everywhere.

Okay so that was my long-winded way of pooping on the party just a little, but hopefully not enough to dampen anyone's spirits!! No one is doing fandom "wrong" -- I just want to keep our hearts and intention pure, and our actions honorable, that's all.

In conclusion: speculation is fun! But assuming is not.

And now? Please STREAM!!

AND PRE-ORDER TAKE TWO WHILE YOU'RE AT IT!!

I love you all so very much! Be well, puppykitties!

Love, Roo

sobs that's a great request...

CHAOTIC ACE (GORILLAZ) X READER

rated: PG probably I dunno. nothing sexual

plot: see above image

(this was saved as a draft like over a month ago and to continue working in it I had to post it privately (too many drafts to keep taking breaks) so if the times are weird that's why)

Ace was sooo excited like really excited like the kind of excited you get when Gorillaz actually drops lore instead of teasing you with the thought of lore

and you know why?

he got to take his amazing date to go look at a bunch of junk at the gym... if he wanted to do that he could've just stayed home but this junk was DIFFERENT

SO! he picked you up in the car he found at the dump that one time it's NOT stealing if they obviously didn't want it anymore

and you both walk in. and everything's perfect. he's so handsome. you're so [PREFERED TERM OF ENDEARMENT] and you're so excited to be in each other's company

THEN BOOM

there's somebody that DOESNT approve. how homophobic (gender neutral) THE GOT DAMN SECURITY GUARD

"Ace?"

"Yeah"

"Of the Gangreen Gang?"

"Yeah" He had his arm linked with yours, and he pulled you closer, nervous

"No way bub. Last time you guys were here you busted a Mesopotamian vase, an expensive one. AND disturbed a mummy. Not to mention you guys stole that uh, candy cane and made Sedusa all big and stuff. She crushed my candle making business! I haven't recovered. Now I'm doing this!"

"Ah... yeah, kids do that."

The security guard raised an eyebrow

"Well, if it makes ya feel better I got a uh... this is my parole officer. Yeah- the jail thought I could use a little culture so they're showing me around," he lied. he was good at that. sometimes. let's see if this was one of those times. you nodded along to try to help "Yeah, soon as I step outta line uh, yeah"

The security guard shrugged. "I hear that about 10 times a day. And you frankly I don't get payed enough to care. Go ahead, get yourself arrested again. see if I care" he waved a hand

Ace pulled you in tight and quickly went in. he had one hand over his face, he stopped. "Yeah I... guess I shoulda expected that. Sorry about that toots."

You patted his back, reassuring him. "It's ok. You're not like that anymore. Let's just have fun ok? Stop moping" you smiled at him, held his hand, and he smiled back. then you guys went to go look at some paintings. Ace giggled whenever he saw any nudity, and you couldn't help but do the same.

it was fun until-

BOOM. POWERPUFF GIRLS COMING IN THROUGH THE WALL. they destroyed a painting of an orange with hyperrealistic eyes and teeth... for some reason

"STOP RIGHT THERE GANGREEN GANG!" Blossom said

Bubbles blinked "Where are the rest of them?"

"Probably wrecking stuff somewhere else" Buttercup accused

Ace yelped and hid behind you. "I CAN EXPLAIN! WAIT A MINUTE"

People were staring. Waiting for another ppg victory

Buttercup was about to do something, but Blossom held her back "He's got a hostage! Be careful!"

"HOSTAGE?" His voice cracked "KID, THIS IS A DATE. THE GUYS AINT EVEN HERE, HONEST... if threes a crowd, eheh, six must be a parade. Nah, i didnt bring the guys, you gotta believe me"

Blossom looked suspicious, and turned to you. "Is that true?" Ace clung to you.

"Ace is my boyfriend, yeah. We've been dating for a while. I got a ton of pictures on my phone if you don't believe me" You smiled and gave his hand a reassuring squeeze

Bubbles looked down at her feet "Are you SURE... he's kind of..." She didn't finish the sentence, but Buttercup giggled

Blossom just sighed. "I don't know why you would want him, but it's not our job to question it. I've got my eye on you Ace, so don't try anything. GIRLS! Let's go do something more important."

The girls flew out again, this time breaking a painting of a sad clown on their way out

You turned around, as Ace was still hiding behind you, and you cupped his face in your hands. He looked terrified. Before he could even speak, you told him it was ok, and he didn't need to apologize again. And that, if anything, you were probably gonna get arrested today for breaking some assholes nose. He laughed and gave you a hug, and you tried to go back to what you were doing before. He kept apologizing to you, but you told him it was ok. You look at the statues next. Ace didn't like the Medusa statue.

There were a lot of weird looks, a lot of people holding their kids closer to them as you walked by, but there wasn't another outburst, thankfully

You guys had fun despite what happened. But, Ace told you the next date would have to be somewhere without people

#wip #ok i know i said i would use a brain cell for this one but i dojt think i have one im so sorry #fanfics #x reader #ace copular x reader #ace copular #ace gorillaz

KNOW ITS FOR THE BETTER p.1 (Conrad Fisher)

summary: you return for another summer, little do you know this one will be very very different

genre: angst

cw: uuh there's not very many, just maybe some self esteem issued implied?

a/n: I just got the random urge to start a multiple part story about Conrad so yeah, there will be more parts, so if people like this, I will release them.

Me and Conrad have been best friends since we were kids, I'd always come with the Conklin's to the beach house every summer, it was my second home, and I loved it.

Belly and I were like sisters, she was my best friend, I'd spend the nights in her room gossiping about boys, doing our nails and makeup, I was the shoulder she cried on when Conrad talked about other girls. I didn't think much of it at first, I mean, if he talked about other girls all the time with me, I'd be upset too, it was normal, right?

Conrad and I were also inseparable. One summer, he broke his elbow in an attempt to skate and he couldn't go out for 3 weeks, I didn't think twice to stay with him there, we played card games, ate ice cream, rewatched the goonies for the 100th time even though he was the only one who enjoyed watching it, I listened to him whine about him not being able to do anything for what felt like an eternity, but that he was thankful he had someone to sit through it with him. I never knew I liked liked Conrad till the summer I turned 14. I don't know why but something just clicked, It wasn't even something special, we were on the beach while belly, jere and steven were splashing around in the water, it was night, and even though I knew it was always chilly on the beach when it was late, I refused to bring a sweatshirt, so I was freezing cold, he looked at me and laughed, I got embarrassed. And he gave me his sweater, no words were exchanged, we just sat there in silence looking at each other, smiling, for just a few minutes, but long enough that I noticed the butterfly's in my stomach weren't just a figment of my imagination I chose to ignore, they were real, this was real, and the feelings I had for him weren't just platonic.

Forward 2 years and it was finally summer again, and no, I never acted on my feelings, I knew belly liked him, I knew she would be mad if she found out all the times she was rambling on about how "perfect" he was, I was thinking the same, she wouldn't be happy.

This summer, Belly got pretty, don't get me wrong, she was always pretty, she had this natural beauty I envied and adored, but according to everyone else, she had a "glow up", which basically meant she got her braces off and got older. I never thought I was very pretty, not in an insecure low self esteem way, but in an "I'm average" kind of way, I wasn't special like belly, I didn't light up a room when I entered, I never really tried with makeup, when I did I'd look like a clown, this summer I got better at it, I still didn't think I looked very good, but other people complimented me so I just kept doing it, Taylor showed me.

We got out of the car and Jeremiah, Conrad and Susannah were waiting for us, when belly got out of the care I swear I saw their mouth drop, hugs were exchanged as I silently waited for my turn.

"Y/n, hi!" Conrad says, stopping to look at me, it's weird, he'd never stared at me like that before, at least I don't think he ever has

"hey Connie" I reach for a hug, I breathe in his cologne, the same one he wore since his dad gave it to him when he was 12, it was way too strong for his age but he still liked it.

"You uh...you look really good" of course, the makeup, that's why he was looking at me like that, is it because I look silly? Or is it because I look good?

"thank you! You too" I say standing awkwardly, we've never had trouble with conversation before, this was definitely weird.

"Hey y/n/n!!" Jere shouted before engulfing me in a hug, he hasn't changed.

After the hello's and how are you's, Conrad and Jere did the annual Belly flop, a tradition I normally enjoyed, but they did it while I was talking to Susannah, they didn't call me, I ignore it.

Belly dries herself off and joins me, Susannah and Laurel in the kitchen, Susannah compliments Belly, telling her how pretty she got, I decide to go to my room, it's not that I didn't want to hear how gorgeous Belly was, but I just prefered to not be there.

I looked around the room, the green wallpaper that Susannah picked out, the Ivy bedsheets, the saltwater scent that flooded the room, and suddenly I finally felt at home for the first time since I got here, I lay on my bed, letting the duvet engulf me. I closed my eyes, then I hear a knock on my door.

"come in!" I yell, not bothering to move from my very comfortable position

"hey" Conrad walks in, I immediately sit up as he enters, looking around the familiar room

"hey, what's up?" I ask, slightly confused as to why he came all the way up here instead of shouting from downstairs for me to come down, like he usually does, the only times he came up to my room like this was when I was sick, or had my music too loud and wouldn't hear him yell from the living room.

"Is something going on?" He says very forward, hands in pockets. Why would he think something was going on? Did I do something that seems like something is going on? Maybe it was the way I said hello, or the way I lingered in the hug, maybe.

"No, why?" I lie.

"I don't know, it just seems off" he wasn't really the type that expressed feelings or addressed things, somehow with me it's different. We always say what we're thinking, well, apart from the fact that I have feelings for him...we haven't got there yet, maybe that was the reason I seem off, am I being too obvious?

"What seems off?" I pretend not to know. I'd rather act like I don't know anything than tell him the truth, even if that means lying to him.

"Us...we seem off, I don't know, maybe it's just me" He sits on the side of the bed, looking around, trying to focus on anything other than the conversation.

"Well, I've only been here like, 20 minutes so..." I laugh in an attempt to lighten the tension.

"Yeah yeah, totally...ok well, nothing then" he says scratching the back of his neck, still failing to maintain eye contact. There's awkward silence for a few seconds before he gets up.

"Well um, I'll see you later?" He says while pointing finger guns at me.

"Yeah of course" I chuckle as he leaves the room, he hesitates for a second before giving me a tight lipped smile

"Bye..."

"...bye"

I sit there staring at the door, wondering if he'll turn back. I know I shouldn't be lying to him, it feels wrong, but I just know I'll feel even worse of he learns the truth. It's for the better, right?

a/n: AAAAH I have a vision ok, bare with me

Lucifer and his Sinful Friends (And also mammon) : What Lucifer Thinks of the Other Sins (and what they think of his kid)

This is a post I wanted to make for a while, as how the sins react to the characters on the other shows is important to me

But I wanted to wait till the star of the show made his proper debut before diving into how CHARLIE feels, especially since who Lucifer is likely shapes that. So let's go motherfuckers, spoilers under the cut.

What Lucifer Thinks of the Sins in General:

Lucifer actually likes most of the sins. While he did have to pound most of their shit in to stay on top, he accepts their help and respects that most of them TRY to be good people in their positions. If anything seeing the sins screw up but still try to be better or have ethics with their patron vice fed into his hate of his sinners more: that HUMANITY can't appricate the gift he gave them but literal demons can. He's a hands off boss mostly, using the threat of him having to come down and beat ass as a way to avoid having to actually manage the sins. Piss him off enough or get into a big enough fight with another sin, and he WILL throw the hammer down.. but most of the time he dosen't give a shit and gives them barely any oversight as he coudln't give a shit about how hell runs as long as it's running. He is still THE devil after all. He just appricates they keep him from having to deal with his hated subjects shit more often than not.

Lucifer and Ozzie:

Lucy and Ozzie have a shared trust, it can be awkward as, ironically for someone living in hell, Lucy just dosen't get that involved in sex industries or sex talk. Ozzie was his suplier for him and lilith and the two founded Hell's rubber industry on a wave of ducks and dildos, their not unfriendly, they just don't have a ton in common other than snappy hats and a love of commitment. The two have gotten closer since Lilith and Lucifer's split and Ozzie dating fizz, as Ozzie wants relationshpi advice (while the relationship has fallen apart Lucifer still maintainted it for what had to be centuries, so he still has valid advice in ozzie's eye), and to make sure his friends okay. Attempts to help Lucifer move on haven't helped, but Ozzie has been a support and has dinner with Lucy every week to check on him. The two may not totally relate, but they care about each other a lot.

Lucifer and Mammon:

So now for the oppsite. As we've seen lucifer can get rattled pretty easily and Mammon ADORES pissing his technical boss off, with the rip offs being half greed and half seeing the look on his face or the calls calling him various kinds of motherfucker. Mammon is happy to piss Lucifer off and Lucifer takes the bait every time with every cheap knockoff or ripped off inovation. Loo Loo Land was the clear start of it as Lu Lu World is one of the few things that brought Lucifer joy and one of his proudest acomplishments, a really rad, highly unsafe amusment park and it's stuck into his craw till this day. That said the place burning to the ground was one of the happiest days of Lucifer's life and something he now brings up constantly. Mammon also just pisses Lucifer off as Lu is a consumante showman while Mammon pretned sto be one but tneds to half ass it while drowning people in clowns.. another stolen idea, just replace clowns with rubber ducks. He only tolerates mammon because Mammon let the greed ring really run rampant to the point that if it collapses all organized crime and companies in hell will spiral with it and while lucifer is on not give a fuck mode due to how jaded he is, he's not THAT jaded.

Lucifer and Bee:

Lucy and Bee have a casual friendship: He dosen't really get the youth like she tends to (despite her age) and feels weird at her parties, but does have fun and love sher making him giant carmel appels to scarf on. He likes her.. but the fact she's one of the few people who can easily see through him rattles hi ma bit, as her empath abilites mean she can see when he's depression eating and not just having fun. And he does so a LOT. i'ts not a huge problem as he keeps in godo shape, but she is often concerned and he tends to pull away from that. He respects her.. but she also creeps him out.

Charlie and Her Aunts and Uncles:

The Sins tend to treat Charlie as a niece, having seen her grown up in passing visting her daddy guy, and thus each one has diffrent dynaimc

Ozzie is a fun uncle, with only his overtly sexual nature (which he hid when she was smaller as a responsible uncle) putting her off a bit. As we've seen Charlie can be a bit awkawrd around sex and Ozzie DOES try to help with that. Granted he's also tried to offer her men and women to help her over that, but he's trying. Charlie in turn fully supports him and fizz and about passed out after the public reveal. As did her dad.

Like her dad, Charlie does not much care for mammon. She's nicer about it, because Charlie, and liked him as a kid as an entertainer.. but as an adult saw another of his shows and quickly saw him for the explitavie piece of shit he is. She just did'nt call him on it because having that part of her chidlhood ruined really rattled her. Thankfully Vaggie was there but it still sucks. Ozzie himself is indiffrnet to her , only really welcoming her when it pisses off her dad or she gives him money for his merchandise. As usual he only cares about what he can make off someone, and charlie was an easy whale for him to harpoon.

Charlie and Bee had a good relationship with her as a kid, as naturally the giant singing fox insect that can make you super large candy is going to be a hit with kids and as a young adult Bee gladly invited her to party. (With dad's permission, but Lucifer knew bee would keep her safe... or else) The scene wasn't really Charlies but the gesture was apricated and while vastly diffrent the two have double dated and are on good terms. It helps Bee you know... contacts Charlie more than her actual parents. Still infrequently but less out of neglect and more because she tends to loose track of space and time a lot of the time due to being so buzzed on other people's energy.. and sometimes cocaine.

Say, mind doing a fanfic of (My TADC OC) Mooz’s Friendly Relationship with Kaufmo before Pomni’s Arrival where they are like best pals, and maybe add a scene where he just stands at Kaufmo’s Door after the events of the pilot episode had happened, please?

Here you go. It is going to take place when Mooz first arrived into the Digital World. Hope you don't mind if my oc does appear in this.

A new being popped up onto a stage, suddenly looking around in a state of confusion and panic. Music was playing while a bunch of objects floated around. The being quickly dodged the objects while backing away.

However, he soon found himself accidentally bumping into someone. The being jumped as he watched a purple jackrabbit in magenta overalls, a tall, white king chess piece in a purple robe, and a ribbon-like creature stumble down. The ribbon creature's comedy mask broke, revealing her tragedy face.

The music stopped as everyone turned to look at the being. "Caine, is this one of your NPCs or is this a new sucker?" The jackrabbit asked. "Because if it's a new character, we're gonna have to redo this whole theme song." He had a rather mischievous grin on his face.

"I'm not doing that again," A mix-and-match toy said to the jackrabbit, her arms crossed while she looked unamused.

"Serious, newbie…" A humanoid wax figurine stared at the being. "Please be careful next time. Do you have any idea as to how long it took for us to rehearse that?" She placed her hands on her hips.

"Calm down, snow princess~." The jackrabbit said her, grinning.

"Uh, who are you people?" The being asked. "Where exactly am I?"

"Take it easy, new stuff," A ragdoll said. "We've all been there on our first day of coming here. But you eventually get used to this."

"My, my!" A floating AI whose "face" resembled teeth flew down to the being. "It appears that a new human has entered this realm! And what is your name!?"

"My name…?" The being tried to say something. But then he realized that he couldn't remember his real name. "I-I can't remember! Why?"

"Nobody remembers their name when they arrive here," A being in a yellow clown outfit said. "I'm Kaufmo, by the way. Perhaps I can help you pick out a name?"

"Uh, sure?" The being asked. "What name do you have in mind, Kaufmo?"

"How about…Mooz?" Kaufmo suggested.

"Mooz?" The jackrabbit scoffed. "Is that all you could come up with, Kaufy?"

"Shut it, Jax!" The mix-and-match toy said, glaring at Jax before turning to Mooz. "But welcome to your new home, Mooz… Zooble, by the way… Over there is Gangle…" She nodded to the ribbonoid creature. "…Kinger…" Next to her was the white king chess piece. "…And Ragatha." She nodded at the ragdoll. "Crystal must have left to go guard." She noticed that the aformentioned wax figurine had left.

"I see you met Kaufmo," Ragatha said. "Maybe he can introduce you to the others." A smile was on her face.

"My comedy mask is broken," Gangle sobbed.

"GAH!" Kinger yelped at the sight of Gangle before calming himself down. "Oh, Gangle! You startled me!"

(Later)

Time went by for Mooz. He had gotten used to how things worked around in the Digital World. Plus, he and Kaufmo became the bestest of friends.

The two did everything together. Whether it would be something as simple as cracking jokes or doing one of Caine's in-house adventures, they always had fun.

Life in the Digital World was fun for them. Until one evening, Mooz decided to ask his friend something.

"Kaufmo, as crazy as this may sound, do you believe that there's an exit?" Mooz asked.

Kaufmo went silent for a bit. He thought about it rather deeply. "Huh, up until now, I never gave it much thought," Kaufmo admitted. "I would ask Caine, but you know how he is. However, if it makes you feel better, I can try to find out if there really is one."

"You mean this wholeheartedly?" Mooz asked.

"You bet!" Kaufmo flashed a smile. "That's what friends are for!"

(Present)

Mooz now stood in front of the door to Kaufmo's now vacant room. The only difference was that his friend's face now had a red x over it. He only visited this place whenever nobody else was around.

"Hey, Kaufmo," Mooz softly said to himself. "Though, I know you're no longer here, I just wanted to tell you about this new member. Her name is Pomni. She's a bit shaken up, but if you had met her, you would have helped her get used to things around here."

He gave a sad sigh, slight regret appearing on his face. Why did he have ask Kaufmo about an exit? After asking, his clown friend became determined to find one. And at the cost of his sanity.

The day that Pomni arrived was also the day that Kaufmo abstracted. And to think that Ragatha was looking forward to introducing him to Pomni…

Maybe if he hadn't said anything about an exit, Kaufmo would still be here. The majority of his friends have since been abstracted for the same reason and are now in the cellar.

"I'll miss you always, Kaufmo." Mooz turned around to face away from the door. "There may be a day where we will be reunited. Along with our other friends. If possible, I look forward to it. I'll keep smiling and making others for you, my best friend."

Without another word, Mooz walked down the hallway, leaving Kaufmo's door behind.
