"Can you stop pacing?"
Harry stops in his tracks, turning on his heel to look at a very exasperated looking Y/N. He's trying to ignore the fact that she's only wearing a flimsy paper hospital gown, legs spread with her feet in those awful metal stirrups. 
He can't help that he's nervous about seeing their baby for the first time, especially considering the circumstances — they almost didn't make it to this point and, on top of that, Y/N almost attended this appointment without him. He had to convince her to let him come; her argument being something along the lines of, "But the doctor's gonna, like... look up my vag and stuff."
(Unfortunately for her, that wasn't enough to stop Harry.)
"I'm anxious," he mutters, crossing his arms over his chest as he shuffles over to her side.
"Don't get too close or I may punch you when she sticks stuff inside of me," Y/N quickly replies, holding her hand out to create distance between them, "Also, you're anxious? You just get to stand there and do nothing!"
Harry sighs. Frankly, he's a bit too tired to fight her on this. She'd been texting him all night about worries she had, wondering if the cup of coffee she had two weeks ago would hurt the baby, or — her words — "what if they look weird?"
"I know, you're right. How are you feeling?" Harry asks in an attempt to make her feel prioritized.
She shrugs her shoulders. She's surprised by his kind response and she doesn't have a good response prepared.
"'m nervous, too." she finally mumbles out, the admittance of her own worries somehow embarrassing to her.
He nods understandingly. "Well, we'll just see what happens, I guess, but at least we're here for each other. I would never want you to go through this alone."
Y/N bites her bottom lip and lays her head back against the firm cushioning of the table. 
"I would agree, but your pacing is pissing me off too much to feel grateful."
Harry's groan is cut off by a knock on the door, punctuated by Y/N's doctor's head peeking in. 
"Can I come in?" 
As soon as Y/N answers her, it's a flurry of questions and answers that only Y/N can answer. What was the first day of your last period? Do you have a history of high blood pressure? What's your family medical history? Are you on any medications? Who's your primary care doctor? When did you take a pregnancy test?
Harry's head is spinning as reality begins to hit him square in the face. He's having a child. With someone he barely knows. They had sex once — a one night stand, for fuck's sake — and now they were committing to raising a child together.
Were they absolutely insane?
He starts to think he may be when the doctor asks for her full name and he realizes he doesn't even know her middle name. Anxiety is clawing at his stomach and chest, his throat dry as the doctor rubs some weird jelly on Y/N's exposed stomach. Unexpectedly, Y/N gasps at the texture and reaches out to grab Harry's hand, muttering out something about it being cold.
He knows that he's fine, but it feels like she's squeezing the life out of his hand and it's only making his nerves worsen. He's ready to run for the hills, give her half the money for an abortion like she said a few weeks back — until it starts.
A steady thumping in quick successions. The sound fills the entire room and Harry's world stops.
"That's your baby's heartbeat."
He swallows harshly, his eyes zeroing in on the image on the screen. He always thought parents to-be that cried at sonogram pictures were a little silly — you can barely tell what's going on, but in that moment, Harry understands. It's the most beautiful thing he's ever seen. A series of blobs that he immediately identifies with and feels attached to — his baby.
He looks over to Y/N, who has tears streaming down her cheeks. He smiles gently and gives her hand a small squeeze.
"They're beautiful," she whispers. 
"I think they have your nose." Harry whispers back.
"Don't be dumb," she mutters, wiping the tears away, "You can't see shit, Harry."
He just laughs and asks the doctor for as many prints of the sonogram they're allowed.
. . .
"You're what?"
Y/N stares back at her and Harry's friends, all of who look like they're the ones who just found out they're having a baby.
She clears her throat, repeating her words. "I'm pregnant. And Harry's the dad."
At the mention of his name, Harry scrambles, quickly pulling the sonogram pictures out of his pocket and placing them on the table. 
"I'm sorry, what the fuck?" Lucy's the first to speak up, her eyes wide as they flicker back and forth from Y/N to Harry. "You guys hate each other."
Y/N shrugs. 
"It was a one night thing," Harry says, offering a smidgen of context.
"And so...?" Dom asks.
"We wanted to have a baby," Y/N replies defensively, crossing her arms over her chest, "I got pregnant. We talked about it. We're gonna have a kid. Any other questions?"
Lea sighs quietly, turning to look at Y/N. "We're not pissed or anything, babe. We're just concerned, that's all."
She nods curtly as Lucy reaches out to look at the sonograms. Dom looks over her shoulder, smiling fondly at the pictures.
"It doesn't have to be a big thing. Friends have babies all the time," Harry says, "Like Y/N explained, we've both always wanted to be parents and this is just the opportunity for us. I'm going to be there to support her the entire time and we wanted you guys to know what's going on."
Y/N swallows, ignoring the way her heart warms ever so slightly at Harry defending their choice. The reasoning sounds much better coming out of his mouth. When she says it, it feels like it's some stupid haphazard explanation, but with him, it's as if it's been calculated and planned.
Their friends all nod their heads as they process Harry's words.
She clears her throat, nervously picking at her fingernails underneath the table. "We're... committed to doing this together," she says, her voice shaking ever so slightly. "And we're going to love this baby more than anything else in the world."
Harry wants to reach out and take her hand into his, but he resists the urge, knowing she'd just yell at him. A gentle smile worms its way on Lucy's face as Lea nods, an affectionate look brightening over her expression. 
"We're so happy for you both," Dom says, passing the sonogram pictures back to Harry.
Harry doesn't miss the small smile that appears on Y/N's face. Besides, he can barely hold his in.

top 5 characters of all time
okay so the way my brain works is that i completely forget any and all characters other than the Current Blorbos so i will categorize this into "my favorite blorbos from current and previous hyperfixations that i remember right now" i am challenging myself with different media
YUMA KOKOHEAD <3333 smallest teeniest tiniest soppingly wettest princess puppydog squeakening mousey crybaby bitchboy of all time. i could say more but i am too busy chewing on him and rotating him in my head at mach speed
Ryunosuke Naruhodo <3333 i love this guy. yeah lemmie just cram myself in a suitcase bc my buddy told me and learn lawyering in 40 days on a boat and move in with legally distinct Sherlock Holmes and be the most grounded character in the cast but still a freak who gets weirder the more you learn about me. also i do a slutty little walk
Shun Kaidou <333 SAKI K JUMPSCARE!!! another pathetic sopping wet bitchboy i think he was my gateway drug to this type of character because i know i did not like these guys before him
Akane Kurashiki <333333 JUNEBUG BELOVED <333 i may not talk much about zero escape but god i love it. and i especially love akane. love me a morally dubious girl who infodumps about niche topics and fucks around with reality itself to achieve her goals!!! genuinely amazing character
Hajime Hinata <333 i may have a very tumultuous relationship with danganronpa but that doesnt change the fact that i am a sucker for characters who massively struggle with feeling inadequate and reshaping themselves because of it. then facing the Consequences. i havent watched DR3 dont tell me what happens to him there

Hello parrot <3333 how are you I hope you’re doing well <3
If you have the time I was wondering if your able to do a ler Augustine and felix and lee julieta and pepa where they tickle their wives because they love them so much and just wanna hear them laugh
(I’ve always loved them 4 :) )
Also please take your time and don’t rush, I am completely okay with you as much time as you need. Bye and take care❤️❤️
Gorgeous noise~
🎂: Encanto
🧁: Julieta, Pepa
🍫: Felix , Augustine
Summary: the husbands of the casita want to hear their wives laugh.
Ship(s): the respective parents
A/N: aww , your so sweet anon! <3 I hope you have a good day as well! Edit: geez sorry this is so short anon. I hope it’s still okay!
Gorgeous noise~
Is was a little to quiet in the casita for Felix and Augustine. The two men were on the patio when the both had a similar thought.
“I would love to hear Julieta’s laugh right now. It brightens up any room!” August (A/N: is that an acceptable abbreviation? ) said.
“Pepa has a nice laugh too! It’s so cheerful! And squeaky.” He mutters the last part as an afterthought.
One thing led to another and now….
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Julieta has zero clue what her husband was doing. He , all of a sudden, came into her room and gave her a hug from behind .
“Hello, mi amor~ was there anything you needed?” She spoke lovingly .
“Mhm hmm.” He hummed into her shoulder.
“Well what is it?”
“Your laughter.” He spoke abrubtly, before squeezing his wife’s sides rapidly.
“Mihihi amhohor ! Phohor quhuhue! (My love! Why!) “
“Because i love you~ and your laughters adorable!”
He wasn’t lying when he said her laughter brightened up the whole room.
💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛
Pepa was in a similar situation. Hugged by her husband, being tickled to bits.
“Felihihix! Stohohop!” She squeaked out.
“No can do mi vida~ your laughter makes my corazón swell with joy!”
If Pepa wasn’t ..ahem.. occupied.. she would have commented on how poetic the line was.
Slowly a rainbow started to form over Pepa’s head .
She was happy .
The husbands were happy, smiling at their wives beautiful laughter and thinking ..
‘Oh , what a gorgeous noise~ ‘

tell me everything abt hicktown RIGHT NOW!!!!!
WOah calm down there friend no need to pull out the capital letters and the five (5) exclamation marks! (tysm for asking abt them they're in my head 24/7 and I'm kissing u right on ur beautiful noggin)
okay, this is really hard to explain itd be easier to show but I have ZERO (0) pages done so ur gonna have to stick with me okay pleas and thank u.
Hicktown takes place in a small town in the 80s and focuses (I'm gonna switch POVs a couple thousand times so sorry in advance) on Jacob, who has just moved into said small town to live with his stepbrother Joe and him being the amazing family man he continues his fathers legacy by leaving a child by their lonesome to go party with his friends and now Jacob's on his own so he just explores this big ass house, did I mention Joe's family is rich? Remember that.
Switch POVs we're with Joe at this random party hanging out with his girlfriend (Angie) and his BFF (Eddie) on a patio (very important detail/s). Angie fucks off to who knows where and so The Boys are alone and Eddie breaks the silence with:
"Hey, I love you man but your girlfriend is kind of a freak."
Very tactful but not tactful enough so Joe displaying a very Rare W is like "Hey man that's totally not cool what you said about someone I really care about please take that back and apologise to Angie or we won't be friends anymore." (HE DOESN'T ACTUALLY SAY THIS IT INVOLVES A LOT LESS CRITICAL THINKING) so they have a big fight Joe probably calls Eddie faggot (did I mention that Eddie's gay and has internalised homophobia running through his veins and Joe knows this and also uses this against him. Wow [I PROMISE IT GETS BETTER]) so Eddie leaves and Angie comes back.
Angie can see that he's upset so she Invites Joe to go out into the woods with her to take a breather and he Accepts.
So they go out into the woods together and they talk about anything that they can think of until Angie stops Joe. They're deep into the woods now and the only thing allowing them to see is the moonlight. It's a quiet night sans the music but even then it's been drowned out from the distance. Even the quiet chittering of wildlife is gone.
A twig snapping is what breaks Joe out of his trance.
It all happens so quickly. There's a bat cracking his skull open and white hot pain is eating him alive.
Okay, I'm gonna stop here or I'm gonna spill the entire story LOL. Sorry abt how messy and jumbled this is I'm sillay. but I gotta explain their character archetypes bc it's very important!!!
Joe's character is a spin-off of the pretty boy character he's that but awful. He's built off of being pretty, rich, privileged and WHITE (sounds silly but it fr adds to his character + I get to laugh at him)
He stops being an asshole i prommy <3333
EDDIE, my sweet boy, is the #gaybestfriend (+poc) trope
eddie loves and supports joe but also has a hard time standing up for himself and articulating how he feels to ppl and kinda just goes along with what joe does. the only reason he allows this is bc they're childhood friends (and he has a big phat crush on joe) he would not take shit from anyone else but keeping up with it is definitely wearing him down :(
things get better for all o them tho I love them too much to hurt them permanently
if you read all of this holy fuck u have my heart

it was all going smoothly. theres only a few minutes left for the warm up time to be over and erwin has guided eren through most of his exercises already, leaving only one for him to get his 20 minutes of free time inside his dressing room with you.
until he locks eyes with the only person that could disturb his peace right now: Braun. they both stay zeroed on each other until reiner disappears into a corridor. the same corridor eren's dressing room is. where you are. his body jolts as he tries to stand up, but his trainer's weight is pushing him down.
"don't waste your time kid, save it for the fight" erwin grabs the back of his neck, pushing the brunette's head down before releasing him and silently announcing the end of the fighter's warm up. and of course eren bolts as soon as it happens.
as he suspected, theres nothing important in that corridor, except for his own room. so there's only one reason his opponent would be there… "stalking me now, Jaeger?" reiner halts his steps, almost at the door with eren's name in it. "can you blame me? just making sure your crazy ass obsession is still under control. now get lost before i make you."
eren watches the blonde disappear back into the the training room before sighing and opening the door, "honeyyyy, im back!"
-Renren <3333
i keep quiet, my mind on the buzz as i continue looking, seeing what news outlets have to say, where people are placing their bets, everything. that is, until i hear the footsteps outside the door, a few muffled words of conversation then the door abruptly swinging open.
“hey love, how was stretching and warm up?” i ask you, tugging you down next to me on the couch with a smile before adjusting myself so my legs rest in your lap with a smile, my body turning towards you with my head resting against the couch.

Tumblr media
Jungkook’s newfound hobby was driving her crazy. One too many times had their little lunch rendezvous made its way into her mind in the past week. The way he sniffed her hair oddly enough was a recurring playback. She had a thing for weirdos and Jungkook could definitely be classified as that. And, that was exactly why she needed to shut this whole thing down.
Now, she considered herself a progressive individual. She didn’t mind change as long as it was for the better. She didn’t have a problem evolving her relationship with a friend. In fact, she preferred it. Always said that if she was gonna get into it, she wanted to be with a friend. But, this particular friendship wasn’t the one. It wouldn’t make sense. There was no way it could possibly be better.
They were like oil and water. They didn’t mix. Which was fine as a friendship, they could peacefully coexist. Anything more than that, however, would be an unnecessary burden. And, her life didn’t need to be anymore difficult than it already was. She wanted an easy love. It was this line of reasoning that carried her straight to her best friend’s house.
“You need to talk to your friend,” she announced, waltzing into Jimin’s home, throwing her purse on the couch before finding him sitting at the island eating cereal.
He looked up. “I’ve already told you should just ask Taemin out. He’ll most likely say yes. He thinks you’re hot. Stop trying to get me to create scenarios.”
“And, I’ve already told you I refuse to pursue a man. No matter how dreamy and evil he is,” she sighed.
In all honesty, she probably would’ve gone for it if it weren’t for the fact that she could tell he wasn’t really into her. Not in the way she would’ve liked for him to be into her. He flirted with her in person (and in her dms), held her in a way that made her stomach jump after a few drinks, but ultimately his goal was a few nights in the sheets. And, that just wasn’t her thing. She didn’t do casual. Didn’t like to invite people into her life that weren’t going to stay. So even though she thought they could be good together, she was deciding to let this one go. If he couldn’t see what was right in front of him that was on him.
“You’re gonna end up alone.”
“You must realize that I am my favorite person.” He rolled his eyes. “Anyway, I wasn’t talking about him. I was talking about Jungkook.”
“What he do?”
“He’s been acting weird ever since last week.”
“What happened last week?”
She sucked her teeth. “You know, when we were all here?”
He narrowed his eyes at her, pupils shifting from side to side, visibly racking his brain trying to recall what happened at his place last week. “Oh! Wednesday! I was so drunk, bro. What happened?”
“Ugh. You don’t remember asking me to rank all of y’all from most to least my type?” Typical Jimin. Cause trouble then dip.
“What’d you rank me?” he asked, wiggling his eyebrows.
“I ain’t doing this again.”
He dropped his legs from the footrest of the barstool, tugging her closer and wrapping an arm around her waist. “Mmm. You couldn’t handle me either way.”
She’s not gonna lie, her heart skipped a beat. But, that’s the only reason he did it in the first place. He knew it flustered her on some level. So, she decided to play along for once, bringing her hand up to toy with the hair that rested at the back of his neck. “Baby boy, I could make you cry,” she whispered seductively.
He made a face, then pushed her away turning his attention back to his cereal. “You’re gross.”
“You started it,” she accused, laughter bubbling up at his reaction. He was CEO of “Do as I say, not as I do.” Always in the mood to dish it out, but hardly able to take it in return.
“So, what’s going on? Why do I need to talk to him?”
“Because I told him he wasn’t my type, and now he’s trying to convince me that he is.”
He choked. “What?”
“He literally showed up at my work the other day and brought me lunch.”
“That was more so directed at you saying Jungkook isn’t your type.”
“He’s not.” He raised his eyebrows, smirking conspiratorially. “He isn’t,” she insisted.
“So, you didn’t used to drool over him when you two first met?”
“See why you gotta go and bring up the past.” She wouldn’t say that she had a full blown crush on him, she didn’t know him and therefore couldn’t actually like him, but for a minute she was down bad. She wasn’t expecting to meet him when she did. Jimin had wanted to hang out and asked for a ride. He was with Jungkook when she picked him up and she was effectively caught off guard. Before she even realized what she was doing, she was out of the car and shaking hands with him in greeting. The next few weeks were spent trying her hardest to be in his presence. She never said more than two words to the boy, but yeah she was down bad. Once her hormones subsided, though, they eventually developed a friendship. A friendship that needed to stay a friendship. “Besides, I never said he wasn’t hot. I’m saying our personalities don’t match up. It wouldn’t work.”
“You aren’t that different from each other.”
“Yeah, but we’re wrong in just the right ways. It wouldn’t work.” He was right in saying that weren’t all that dissimilar, but it was because of that that she was sure starting any kind of relationship with romantic intent would go up in flames. The two were like parallel lines. Never meant to cross. Adjacent, but never intersecting. As they should.
“It sounds to me like you’re just afraid of what could happen.”
“Hold on there partner. I didn’t come here to be lectured or psychoanalyzed. I don’t even think he likes me for real, but he’s heading down a slippery slope. I just want you to talk to him before he goes and starts something that’s gonna get his feelings hurt, alright?”
“Yeah, yeah. I’ll see what I can do.” One thing about Jimin was that he was nosy. Had absolutely zero qualms about getting all up in other people’s business. Knowledge equals power is what he always told himself. So, if she hadn’t come to him voluntarily offering up this information, he would’ve picked up on it sooner or later, inserting himself in the middle of it all. As it stands, he’s been giving explicit permission to do some digging. All he has to do is wait for the opportunity to arise.

The opportunity came a few days later. Jungkook was sitting on his couch, phone in hand, completely zoned out when Jimin pounced.
“So... Y/N?”
Jungkook startled at the mention of her name. It wasn’t like he was just thinking about her. He definitely wasn’t about to text her. He hadn’t spent the past minutes in a daze typing, deleting, and retyping messages to send. Nope. “Huh?”
“Y/N? What’s going on with you and her?” Jimin asked again.
“What do you mean? Nothing’s going on,” he feigned innocence, voice raising an octave. Even though, for all intents and purposes, there really wasn’t anything going on.
He looked him up and down, raising an eyebrow. “That’s not what she said.”
“What did she say?” She talked about him?
“You tell me.” He smirked sitting down, crossing one leg over the other like some kind of therapist.
“I don’t know. We had lunch,” he mumbled.
“Why?”
“Because I thought she might be hungry.”
“And this has nothing to do with the fact that she said you’re not her type?”
He blew raspberries into the air. He couldn’t lie to Jimin even if he tried. The man always managed to see right through him. A consequence of nearly ten years of friendship. “I’m just trying to get to know her better,” he insisted.
“Why?”
“Because she’s nice.” Which wasn’t the complete truth, but if he admitted that he thought she had stars in her eyes he’d never hear the end of it.
���She’s a lot more than nice, so you need to be careful.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“It means that she’s one of the best people I know, but she’s stubborn and once she has an idea in her head it’s very hard for her to let go.”
“So you think I should stop?”
“I think you shouldn’t go into this blind, is all I’m saying. Whatever you’re doing, probably won’t be easy. And, I don’t want you to get hurt. Or hurt her. What do you plan on doing if you manage to make her like you? If you’re not serious then I think you should stop.” Jimin patted his shoulder, then got up leaving him to his thoughts.
Jungkook heard what he was saying. He did. And, he was right. He hadn’t been thinking too hard about what he was doing. Honestly, he was just following the skip in his heartbeat and so far that led him to her. There was a very real possibility of him getting his feelings hurt. She was very strong willed. Couldn’t budge her mind with a bulldozer. So, if she was dead set on being against this, there wasn’t much he could do anyway.
Still, this wasn’t something he could let go of easily. He had no intentions of hurting her. It wasn’t just some conquest for him. That much he was sure of. He would hate to get closer to her, have her catch feelings for him, then dip because he wasn’t feeling it. But, he seriously doubted that would happen. It’s not like they were complete strangers. He was just seeing her in a new light now. And as much as he didn’t want anyone to get hurt, at this point he didn’t know if this was something he should even avoid. It didn’t seem like it.
Truthfully, he didn’t feel this way often. This pull he now felt toward her. He was usually much too caught up in trying to be the best version of himself he could be to entertain thoughts of others. However, right now she had his attention and he didn’t want to look away. He opened his text thread with her typing and finally sending a message before he could overthink it.
[10:53pm] jk: lunch tomorrow?

hey idiots and hellions etc, i’m BACK on my bullshit <3 yes that’s right, this bastard little hiatus - which lasted a tad longer than i expected - is finally the fuck OVER. ‘jesus god please no’ i hear you cry, but i’m not listening because i am rejuvenated and self-cared to the nines and I HAVE FINISHED COLLEGE. LIKE. COMPLETELY FINISHED. i’m still getting my head around it because finishing school during a pandemic is literally just ‘wait did it just end? was that it? oh. sound okay’ and that’s that. a few updates because for some reason a good portion of you are ACTUALLY interested? and have been sending asks to keep up to date with me? and i’m hopelessly in love with you? anyway:
- no more exams!! so many wished me luck and i literally cannot express enough how much that actually made me feel better. i thought it’d be a fickle little thing, but the amount of times i was on The Verge Of An Education Induced Breakdown, remembering how many people were actually rooting for me was so comforting. and hey, i don’t think the exams even went too terribly! (touch wood)
- i now have like four months with zero (0) responsibilities and i fully intend to go off the rails in this time. i think i deserve it. i have a lot of plans with my mates so still should be pretty busy, but i’ll no longer be balancing fic-life with exam-life AND social-life, so it should all be smooth sailing from here <3
- chapter 34 is.... Going. i didn’t actually write nearly as much as i thought i would during this break (usually my body experiences one (1) bout of stress and immediately goes ‘oh? does this mean ‘write thousands of words feverishly without a break as a coping mechanism?’’ and doesn’t wait for a response) but that’s led to what i have so far of this chapter being very thought out and i’m v happy with the quality. but like i said, i’ve prioritised exams and friends and my mental health lately, so i’m still expecting another week or so before the chapter is finished. you’ll be getting the usual bullshit writing updates here though now i’m off hiatus. thank you again for being so patient with me
some smaller things that have happened that i’d usually have bitched about on here the moment they took place:
- everyone is having ‘college is finished’ parties and it’s forced me to actually spend money on clothes??? which is a big treat for me bc i’m so stingy when it comes to spending money on clothes. if ur reading this and you’re holding out on treating yourself because you think you don’t deserve it then this is your sign <3333 anyway the point here is that i look hot
- i also dyed my hair red (even though it sort of went pink? Idk? vibes and that cruise like a four wheel drive and that-)
- I’m currently 4 days into a 6 day bender, pray for my liver ❤️ (which means ironically I’m breaking hiatus at a time I might potentially be busy but it’s fine im here in spirit and physically I am slamming jagerbombs at the local bars)
- i emailed a parlour about getting a tattoo! i’m finally getting organised!
- I applied for my uni accommodation and that was the day, young children, that one hella1975 realised uni is actually very fucking close and not some faraway dream
- i am now self-banned from a bar in my town (self-banned = no one is actually stopping me from going back there except myself. it’s in everyone’s best interest...)
- i’ve started the Big Scary re-write of tales of the mirrored world!!!!!! i am so powerful omg
- anddddddddddddddd i hereby swear that if i have to look at an economic diagram ever again i will go fully sexily completely berserk <3 that’s right mr john maynard keynes and mr william phillips i am wishing violence upon your bloodline <3 
i’m back fuckers and i’m in a really happy place atm and I MISSED YOU ALL !! LIKE A LOT ACTUALLY I WAS NOT EXPECTING TO MISS YOU GUYS TO THE EXTENT THAT I DID !! PLEASE SHUT UP ABOUT IT !!

Celestial Live-Reacts: STP 2.3, 'Assimilation'
In a truly inhuman feat of self-control, I have absorbed absolutely zero spoilers for this week, so I know nothing aside from the fact that Q's in it! This has literally never happened in my life!
Let's roll, my darlings...
- Agnes in the back like doo-doo-doo, just a lady doing engineering things - Nice try Seven, bless you <3 - Oh, the missus is fuming - Niiiiice phaser effect - Ah, the overt symbolism of the missus shooting the ex, we love to see it <3 - Nooooooooo, my son! - Ouch - Not her son - Oh shit, hello king, that's very on-brand of you turning up out of nowhere like that <3 - "This is the only kind of life you understand - shall we see what else has been lost in the wake of your fear?" "Q -" aaaaaaand he's gone... - ... He's fucked up with that Borg decision hasn't he - Is that what Picard's fucked up? Was his other self too frightened of the possibility of assimilation? - Borg Queen = pancake queen lmao - Oh dear oh fuck - @the comms, we love you all but the Queen's making you look like cadets - Three speeds: here, there and gone - ... What on Q's earth... and titles! - This theme song gets better every time I hear it <3 - "Welcome to the Earth of the twenty-first century." I swear to the fucking Continuum, if she discovers TikTok... - Picard's face is my face at being part of this period of history - I love how we got a nice moment of exposition before gravity kicked in, terribly inconvenient of it really - Picard be like 'it's my future house and I'll crash into it if I like' - "Can't. Busy at the moment, with organs." A precious angel <3 - I'm with Rios for the second week in a row - kill her to death my guy, Q will deus ex machina you home ;) - Is that on Etsy? Because I'd buy it off Etsy - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO - Not mine and Raffi's son, oh my god T_T - Why do I get the feeling that this is going to progressively happen through the series, until it's just him and Q left to fix this shit? One of them fighting for their own life, one of them fighting for everyone else's, as they also try and save each other simultaneously? - Beautiful Picard Speech #47920, and Seven is having none of it - 'Intense shock and disappointment in leadership' - ouch - "Why has all of history been changed? Because of Q." Good luck taking him down angel, that's all I'm saying lol - "For decades, you've played games with whatever Q is... because that's what the two of you do, right? You joust, you screw around with people's lives for sport." ... Oh wow. What a fascinating comparative - once again, we're holding up a mirror... they really are two halves. Fuck. <33333333 - "No, Raffi - that's what he does." Is it, though? Is that not what this whole thing is, that you're only a wrong decision away from being just as chaotic? - ... It's like they've flipped. Q now seems to be the one trying to maintain order, I... damn - "It's impossible to determine whether we're existing outside of temporal causality -" "Jurati." Mummy is not amused... - 'We'll revive the Queen' 'Are you sure though' - honestly, valid - "So, to be clear - wake a queen that could kill us all, beam from a ship with no power, and find the Watcher, who may or may not exist." "That's it, Rios." ... Good plan, glad we cleared that one up lmaoooo - Are they losing faith in him? - "They rarely spoke audibly - but a thought would be shared instantly with every Borg." *shudder* - "I felt an intense euphoria, but no sense of my existence." *double shudder* - "But me, she'd take in seconds." "But not me." Oh honey no - Amen Picard, fuck that noise - "I believe the technical term is 'for shit'." His cynicism uplifts me daily looool - 'Hot People Getting Dressed', the best kind of montage <3333 - "Do I still look like a fascist bastard?" "Fascist, no - bastard..." lmaooo - Bless you again for trying, Seven - "Halfway to Hell is still not a recommended destination" is my new tagline - Is this about to be crew member number two who's suffering for Picard's decisions? - The Watcher's going to be Q or Guinan isn't it - He didn't tell them what he and Agnes were doing - Surely this is a trap. There were even similarities between them mentioned last week, there's no way this isn't a trap - ... Is this electronica California Dreamin' in my Star Trek - GTA V: Confederation Edition - "Are you a superhero?"
Adorable <3 - Cristobal Rios everyone, reminding me of that time when I switched to Trevor on the edge of a bridge in the same city and had no choice but to immediately kill him - ... 'No hospitals'. ONE JOB MY GUY, ONE JOB - Give it back, foolish child >:( - Reverse mugging! Hurrah! - "Wonderful ambassador, up against the backdrop of hope meets hopelessness. You're killing it, 2024." ... I would like to officially apologise for the state of us ancient idiots - I wish he was my dad too T_T - Oh, my god. This is genuinely fascinating to watch - "Why don't you tell me about feelings and the last time you had one? Oh you pretend to have feelings to avoid having feelings, how awful must it be to feel what you've -" damn. 'Through a mirror darkly', yeah? We just keep holding up that glass... - "She's getting stronger, now - no longer just observing." Ohhhhh dear - "Locutus." Oh would you look at that, it's a trap - ... Well that went terribly - "My girlfriend and I were looking to capture an image." <3 - "Kevin is not funner than me." lmaooo - This relationship genuinely has more set-up than him and Agnes - "Cool story" lololol - That kid is not old enough to be watching Rick and Morty lmao - "Something that hurts you to lose." "We lost someone dear to us for you." "Is this how you negotiate?" Borg Ice Queen - ... Ohhh, that is his fear - This Queen sounds remarkably Q lmao - "Dictate the file logged 'Shit I Stole From the Borg Queen'" *applause* Beautifully done dear. Keep that up and I'm going to end up liking you - "You've impressed me." Oh shit - He's so honourable, bless him - ... No reading, Admiral. No reading... ... Holy fuck.
Celestial Rating: 8.5/10.
Despite the tragic lack of Q, a slick, cleverly done ride with plenty of mirror imaging. I remain ridiculously impressed by this series. #RIPElnor #HopeThatGetsReversed

DARLINGGGGG
TELL ME ABOUT THE SPIES HS MUSICAL AU *grabby hands* /nf
OKAY OKAY OKAY <3
So spies are forver is a Tin Can Brothers Musical (think starkid adjacent) AND IT FUCKING BOPS.
AU made in full collboration with the wonderful @clairvoyance7465, she cowrote this post, pls show her love <33333
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vd3aJl930YE
(thats part 1, the entire show is incredible)
Watch it if you haven't, I'm gonna try not to spoiler it with the au.
But also this au will make like absolutely zero sense if you dont know the plot of spies are forever.
SO this au is an (american) high school AU. It’s Wilbur’s senior year and the theatre department is basically his to run. So he writes his own musical (Spies are Forever) and acts as the triple threat he is, directing, casting, and acting in his own masterpiece.
The cast is pretty much only made up of Wilbur’s friends, who have been forcefully dragged into his world. The lead is none other than football star Dream himself who finds himself wanting to try something different in his last year of high school, resulting in endless teasing from the other guys on the team, but hey, what can he say, it seemed like fun.
Full cast is as follows:
Crew:
Director - Wilbur
Writer - Wilbur
Choreographer - Tubbo
Set Design - Foolish
Stage Manager - Drista
Cast:
Wilbur (Senior): Baron Von Nazi, Vladamir Poopin
Tommy (Freshman): Sergio Santos (listen this one legitimatley kills me and i would pay tommy money to see him preform this song), The Announcer, and Hans
Technoblade/George (Seniors): Owen (it makes sense i promise)
Dream (Senior): Curt Mega
Niki (Junior): Tatiana, Ballroom dancer/ Poopin
Tubbo(Freshman): Cynthia, The second deadliest man, Heidi
Ranboo (Sophmore): Susan, That one waiter that says "you dont have to snap at me", Guy who drags off the second deadliest man
Fundy (Junior): Barb and Gretel
Puffy(Senior): Mrs Mega, Ballroom dancer w/ Schlatt
Foolish (Senior): The Prince
Schatt(Senior): Richard Big, Ballroom dancer w/ Puffy
Quackity(Senior): The Informant
Jack Manifold (Junior): Deadliest Man Alive.
Are you still with me?
Great.
So Wilbur writes this entire musical and casts it but he's having trouble finding his "Owen", he conscripts (read: forces) his twin brother, fencing star and academic whiz Technoblade, into participating in his musical. He breaks the fourth wall a few too many times for Wilbur's sanity, but over all, it works. Owen is a smaller role for the show so Wilbur's not too worried UNTIL , dun dun dun, Techno finds out he has a fencing tournament that coinsides with the show and has to drop out. Wilbur speedruns the seven stages of grief about the show being ruined and only Niki is able to remotely console him.
Now, Dream has been pretty nervous about starring in his first ever musical so he'd often use his boyfriend George to practice his lines/songs with. As a result, George knows the part of Owen pretty well and even has the british accent necessary for the role. Dream and Wilbur beg him to take it, and he caves and BOOM, DNF. (if you know, you know, someone is going to assainate me for this au, i just know it)
THE SHOW IS AMAZING CLAP CLAP CLAP HAPPY ENDING
And if Wilbur realizes he'll never get the rights to Hamilton and writes his own version around some fake place called L'Manburg for the spring musical? Well lets just say it was meant to be <3.
And yeah, this is one of mine (and clairs <3333 beloved) favorite aus of all time, its so niche and dear to us. OH YEAH, cannonical SBI family dynamic in case you were wondering and lots of characters attend the hs, they just aren't in the theatre program lmao. (theres karlnapity, puffychu, etc)
PS: Can you tell I like casting Tubbo in Lauren Lopez roles hoiylg7fkuytdrh

The Only Mistake
sunghoon x gn reader
requested
genre- angst, fluff
word count- 1.1k+
warnings- like one curse word lol
a/n- i finally got this done, because i actually had some time. i hope you enjoy <3333
sunghoon was leaving for i-land, and he just wanted you to be the best you can be, with out him holding you back, so he let you go. would this decision destroy everything that you had together, forever?
Tumblr media
“i’m breaking up with you,” sunghoon deadpanned.
“e-excuse me? w-what? WHY?” you stuttered, as you started to feel the world close in around you.
“i’m breaking up with you! because i just don’t want to be with you anymore, sorry!” he replied flippantly, beginning to turn away. you tried to yell his name, doing anything to grab his attention so that he would turn back around- but he didn’t. sunghoon left you there, under your favourite cherry blossom tree in the park, where he had once confessed to you. reality hit and you began to sob uncontrollably because the boy you loved so much ripped out your heart with zero explanation; you felt broken.
in reality, sunghoon never wanted to break up with you, but he felt it was the only thing he could do. you see, he was about to go to i-land, to have a chance at debuting in a boy group. he thought you would get sick of waiting for him, so he rationalised that he should let you go and you could move on, even if it broke his heart. sunghoon just wanted you to be happy, and he believed that you wouldn’t be happy waiting months for him and then barely seeing each other after that.
you deserved better than him.
so he fought the urge to run back to you, tears streaming down his face, yet he had a slight hope that you would be following behind him. as he slowly craned his neck to look behind him, sunghoon saw that you had already started trudging away. he felt like orpheus probably did in all of those myths he read in school, loosing the one he loves due to his own stupid mistake.
Tumblr media
it was now three months later, and there wasn’t a second that went by when sunghoon didn’t miss you. he just wished he could escape and tell you the truth, and scream from the rooftop how much he cares about you. although he loved you with every cell in his body, he was also terrified that you had actually moved on, he wouldn’t have blamed you if you did. but he knew that he had to see you at the end of this laborious show, as the guilt and pain built up and up. sluggishly, the days ticked over towards the final, and sunghoon despised every minute of it.
meanwhile, you were sat in your dark room, watching the final episode of i-land. yes, you had been pulled into the cyclone that is i-land, even though your boyfriend, well ex-boyfriend was competing there. you had tried to move on, but your aching heart would not allow it, so you continued to pine for the one person who seemingly never wanted to see your face again. anger built up inside of you every time he appeared on screen, looking so care free yet focused on the performance he was practising for. how could he look like that even though he broke your heart? however, you still rooted for him, almost crying when you thought he wouldn’t get chosen to debut. when sunghoon was eventually announced as rank six, you jumped up onto your bed, like a little kid that’s excited for christmas, chanting “go sunghoon! go sunghoon! g-go go sunghoon!” you realised what you were doing and sank back down into your sheets, embarrassed by how much you still loved him no matter how much you tried to hate him. after you had calmed down, you drifted to sleep happily, knowing that now sunghoon was free, you could give a piece of your mind soon, a very big piece of your mind…
Tumblr media
it seems that sunghoon got there first, because one saturday morning when your were lounging about watching tv, a knock at the front door, snatched you out of your blissful reverie. “who the fuck is this now?” you scoff to yourself, as you lazily shuffle towards the freshly painted door. the shock is evident in your face, as you come face to face with a very sheepish sunghoon, who was twiddling his fingers like he always does whenever he’s anxious. you never thought he’d be the first one to initiate the long awaited conversation. you didn’t even let him begin talking, as you stepped aside and aggressively ushered the boy into your house. as the two of you sat down onto the comfy sofa, sunghoon blurted out a flurry of explanations and apologies.
“please please believe me, i never wanted to break up with you. i only wanted you to be happy, and i didn’t think you would be, waiting for me to get out of i-land. i assumed that you would begin to get bored and resent me for leaving to i-land. i still love you so so much, more than words can describe! i’m sorry. i’m sorry. i’m really sorry!”
“why would i have got bored of you sunghoon? is that what you think of me, that i’d just find someone else as soon as you left?” you raged.
“no no, i’m just insecure i guess, and i thought you deserved better than me, even if it broke my heart.”
“well you’ve clearly broken both of our hearts haven’t you? even though you hurt me so badly and i literally spent weeks crying over you, i still supported you on the show. it’s humiliating to say, but i voted for you every day. it’s pathetic how much i love you,” you let out a bitter laugh, even when salty tears started streaming down your rosy cheeks, “all i want is for it to go back to the way it was. fuck you park sunghoon, you selfish bastard.”
“please forgive me,” he sobbed, as he clutched onto you, “you’re the best thing that ever happened to me, and i’m not willing to let you go again. i’ve achieved my dreams as an idol, but i’ve lost one of the people that means the most to me. i love you y/n, i really do!”
you felt your resolve cracking down the middle, so in a sudden, you tackled him in a huge hug, smashing your lips to his. the pair of you spent a while like that, releasing all of the tension the both of you had held in your bones for so long now. you spent the day attached to each other, mostly napping on the couch, exhausted from the emotional rollercoaster you had been on for months. you loved each other so much, which was all that mattered to you now. and sunghoon promised that he would tell you about his true feelings, rather than bottling them up and it ending in disaster once more. as you traced sunghoon’s sharp features, you sweetly remarked: “you were absolutely flawless on i-land hoon, you know that right?”
“of course i know...because the only mistake i have ever made was giving you up.”

THE NUMBER LADS ARE STILL HERE!!
Some of these chapters might be uh... less than consistent with the actual chronology of TCW but that's what they get when they don't air the episodes in order! (Read Part 1 and Part 2!)
CT-2222 = Do-si-do = Double Trouble
CT-3333 = Trees = Leafs
ARC-5555 = Fives (duh) = high fives
ARC-1409 = Echo (honorary number lad) = BetterDomino
CC-6666 = Sixes/Death = DEATH
ARC-7777 = Sevenset = RedBoiiiii
CT-8888 = Loops = Loopy
Trees had almost forgotten about the Numbers meeting. Honestly, the only thing reminding him of the day of the week was his own internal clock. A lot had happened, okay? Geonosis was never “fun” for anyone, and he was just glad it was over. His general and commander had both nearly died there--which was only a first for Commander Offee, because that had been the second campaign to Geonosis, and that wasn’t even including the damn brain worms--kriffing sithspit he needed a nap.
But a nap would wait until he could tell the others he was okay. Fortunately, he’d set a reminder for it, so at least he wouldn’t be getting half a dozen comms from Sevenset or Do-si-do about being late. The rest of his squadron was sound asleep by the time the meeting was supposed to start, so out of courtesy, Trees walked to the mess hall, which, at this time, was all but empty. One or two others milled about, looking just as exhausted as Trees felt. He took a seat in one corner, setting the holoprojector on the table and waiting for the transmission to start.
And trying not to fall asleep.
Sevenset started the meeting, Fives and Echo standing beside him like they had last month. They were approaching graduation by now, weren’t they?
“Hey, Trees,” Sevenset smiled.
“Hi.”
“How was bug world?” Fives asked.
Trees gave them a deadpan stare. “How do you think? I’m sure your friends in Torrent have plenty of stories.” The 501st had also been on Geonosis--their Commander Tano had been with Commander Offee onboard the medical transport infested with kriffing brain worms.
Echo smirked. “Yeah, we heard General Skywalker and Commander Tano threw Captain Rex off a building.”
“They did what?” Loops had appeared just as Echo had started speaking.
“Yeah, they’ve done it a lot, apparently,” Fives nodded.
“Kinda sad I missed it,” his batcher said.
“Devastated.”
Trees blinked slowly. “You aren’t. Believe me.”
Sevenset chuckled. “Yeah, you look like you’re falling asleep over there.”
Trees rubbed his face. “Yeah well,” he sighed, resting his chin on his hand, “when your general and commander nearly die twice on the same campaign, and somehow it involves mind controlling parasites, you’d be a little tired.”
The other four all raised their eyebrows at him. Before they had time to ask questions, however, a third hologram appeared. Trees recognized Do-si-do instantly, sitting at a table instead of in his cockpit like normal. But next to him was a new face--as it were. Judging from the glasses on the table and the shifting lighting, they were at 79s on Coruscant. Lucky bastards.
“I found zero!” Do-si-do announced happily. The man next to him gave a little two-finger salute.
Right after that, two more holograms appeared, which made Trees blink and sit up a bit straighter. He was used to Commander Sixes by now--honestly, he was--but after years of training to recognize COs and react accordingly, it was hard to shake the urge to go to attention. But the commander wasn’t the only one joining. Judging by the dull fuschia color of his armor, this was number four, from the Nova Corps.
He looked like he would rather crawl under a rock. Trees had felt similarly upon being press-ganged by Sevenset and Do-si-do to join them.
Sevenset’s face lit up at the two new holograms. “Commander!”
“Stow it, ARC,” came the immediate gruff reply.
“We’ve got two ARCs now,” Do-si-do was quick to point out, tapping the pauldrons of the man next to him.
The commander looked at the newcomer, then looked back at Sevenset. “He knows who I mean.”
“Indeed I do,” the ARC in question answered. “But hey! Two whole new numbers!” Trees couldn’t help the small smile forming on his face. Sevenset’s joy was contagious. “What do we call you guys?”
“I’m Zero,” the man next to Do-si-do replied. He had dark green paint over his armor, --maybe now Trees could convince Sevenset to change his name in the group chat to something other than Green Bean. His pauldrons were both green, and there was an inverted chevron visible over his grey chestpiece. Zero’s head was shaved on both sides, leaving a wide strip of curls down the center, and a tattoo on one side that Trees couldn’t quite make out from the hologram. He also caught sight of wide loops set into his earlobes. This guy almost had Sevenset beat for aesthetic.
They all turned their attention to the marine, who shrank back minisculely from his holoprojector. “Uhm…” He looked like he’d bolt at the next opportunity.
“It’s just your name, marine,” the commander prompted.
Instantly, the man answered, “Fours. I’m Fours.” Fours looked almost regulation from where Trees was sitting. It was hard to tell over hologram, but there might have been the remnants of a dye-job in his short hair, but it was too overgrown to be recognizable. The Nova Corps really didn’t get much time off. The armor they could see on him had vertical stripes painted over each shoulder, ending mid-way down his chestplate, as well as one down the center of his chest, and stripes down each shoulder bell.
Sevenset beamed at them both. “Well, welcome to the party. I’m Sevenset. I see Fours has already met the charming Commander Sixes.” The rest of them introduced themselves one by one, with Sevenset mentioning Echo’s “honorary number status” briefly.
“So… what do you guys actually do in these meetings?” Zero asked afterwards.
Several of the older members shrugged. Sevenset answered, “Eh, just chat. Or… I dunno, spread gossip.”
“They’re largely useless,” the commander said plainly.
Trees smirked at Sevenset’s eyeroll. “Yet, you keep coming to them, Commander,” the red ARC reminded him.
Do-si-do added, “He’s actually never missed one since you dragged him into it.”
Trees could confirm that--he often kept tabs on attendance just so he knew when to be worried if someone missed out. But he also wanted to keep watching Sevenset and Do-si-do taunt Death.
Zero and Fours both looked surprised, although Fours’ expression was a bit harder to read. He was still pretty on-edge. “How did you get Commander Death to join, anyway?” Zero asked, swirling the contents of his glass.
“Sheer willpower,” Sevenset answered smugly.
The commander crossed his arms. “I’m actually waiting for your last functioning brain cell to die from lack of stimulation. It’ll be funnier on camera.”
Fives and Do-si-do both burst out laughing--a problem for the latter, who had just taken a mouthful from his drink and consequently sprayed half of it across the table. Echo and Loops simply had huge grins on their faces, an expression Trees found mirrored on his own face. Sevenset had a sort of strained smile as he waited for Fives and Do-si-do to recover.
“I’m touched you have so much concern for me, Commander.”
“Oh, I’m concerned, alright.” The remark made Fives and Do-si-do break up again.
The commander was definitely warming up to the group, even Trees could see it. He would probably never admit it, but since his first meeting, he’d thawed a bit. Trees almost wished he could have seen their first meeting on Kamino, just to know how close the commander had been to wringing Sevenset’s neck. For old time’s sake.
Once the laughter had died down into smiles, Zero looked to the two batchers standing with Sevenset. “When are you two graduating, anyway?”
“Next week!” Fives announced, beaming with pride.
“Yeah, we get our new gear tomorrow,” Echo smiled.
“Which means this guy,” Fives added, putting an arm around his brother’s shoulders, “is going to stay up all night reading about it, right Echo?”
Echo shrugged his arm off with a well-worn scowl. Trees frowned a little. “Hey, reading up on the kit isn’t a bad idea. I did it. I’ll probably do it again when Phase Two comes out, whenever that’s gonna be.”
Vindicated, Echo folded his arms and lifted his chin at his brother, who rolled his eyes. Zero tipped his glass towards them. “Well, you survived this long. Have fun next week.” He drained what was left of the drink, then slid the glass to the center of the table. Trees really couldn’t wait for leave… he needed a drink after Geonosis. And not just the stuff the boys managed to sneak onboard.
“Hey, Zero,” Loops spoke up, leaning forward a little. “Why haven’t I heard much about the one-eigteenth?”
A good question. Trees knew rather little about Zero’s legion, aside from knowing it was in the Seventh Sky Corps along with the 501st and the 212th. He didn’t even know which Jedi led it.
“Probably--” The green ARC started to answer, then something out of frame caught his attention, and he held up a finger. He stood up and they heard him shout, “Incident! Off the ceiling! Troll, stop helping!” He leaned down. “Hang on.” Then he disappeared out of frame.
“Is someone actually on the ceiling?” Fives asked, looking to Do-si-do for answers.
The pilot nodded, his attention directed upward. “I don’t know how he did it. But he did.”
“Okay, so Torrent should never meet them,” Echo said. “I think we’d watch as the captain went grey from stress before our eyes.”
Fives grinned. “I dunno, it could be fun.”
“No, it would be fun,” his brother agreed, “right until you blow something up and get yourself and others hurt. Then Kix would have your balls.”
“Worth it.” Echo looked between Sevenset and Fives, who had both spoken, then rubbed his face with both hands.
Commander Sixes shook his head. “Never have these problems with my boys.”
Zero returned a minute or two later, another drink in his hand. “Okay. Sorry about that, someone got a balloon stuck in the rafters, and Incident thought it was a good idea to retrieve it.”
“Did he get it?” Loops asked.
“Unfortunately, yes.”
“Why unfortunately?”
“Because he got a reward for climbing to the ceiling to get it, and he’ll probably try it again later.” He took a drink. “Anyway. One-eighteenth. We’re pretty small for a legion, which is probably why you haven’t heard of us. One company of the two-twelfth is probably most of our troops.”
“Who’s your General?” Echo asked.
“General Veekah Bala.” He got mostly blank stares and couple heads shaking. “Yeah, well. She’s pretty awesome. Togruta, double-bladed lightsaber. Kinda young, like Skywalker, but…” He paused, like he was looking for the right words.
“More sane?” Fives offered. Trees smirked. Skywalker had quite the reputation.
Zero shrugged. “I guess? Dunno, maybe she’s just crazy in a different way.”
“What do you guys do when you’re that small?” Loops prompted further.
“Special stuff--kind of like Rancor, actually. The demo jobs, the stealth missions, that kind of stuff. Each company has a specialty.”
Do-si-do bumped their elbows together lightly. “What’s yours?”
“I’m in Whisper Company. We do stealth and recon and stuff like that. Firebolt is our demo team--that’s… where Troll and Incident are.” He cast a glance towards the ceiling.
Motion drew Trees’ eye to Fives, who had leaned over to whisper something to Echo. Echo thought for a second, then shook his head, a small smile on his face. With Torrent’s reputation, they might like Firebolt, from the sounds of it.
“The other two are Blitz, who hate clankers and bugs more than anyone I’ve ever met, and Enigma, who have made it their sworn mission to hack General Grievous,” Zero finished.
“Hack him?” Sevenset repeated, voicing the confusion on the others’ faces. Except for the commander, because his helmet was still on.
Zero sighed, scratching his head. “Yeah, I dunno. They figure because he’s a cyborg, they can hack his cybernetic parts, right? They’re obsessed. The general totally enables them, too. The Enigma hazing ritual is to hack into a B1 as fast as you can.”
Trees’ face scrunched up slightly. They just kept battle droids around for initiation? That… didn’t seem safe. He and Fours seemed to have similar skeptical reactions to it, but Fives and Echo were nodding along like it made perfect sense. Trees was so glad to be in the 41st.
“What about Whisper?” Loops wanted to know.
Zero just smiled slyly and held up something so they could see. Trees recognized it. Most pilots he’d met had a lucky charm of some kind, either painted on their armor, or their ship, or it was an object they kept with them at all times. Do-si-do had the latter kind: his charm was a dark brown rock with a hole through the center, always in his utility belt. But suddenly it wasn’t.
Do-si-do’s eyes went comically wide for a second, then his hand was flying to the empty pouch on his belt. “What--hey!”
Zero put the stone on the table and slid it to him. “That’s what we do.”
“Steal stuff?” the pilot shot back, snatching the stone up and clutching it to his chest.
“We always give it back.”
Do-si-do was still frowning darkly as he carefully replaced his charm in his belt.
“Huh,” Sevenset nodded. “You guys sound pretty cool. Shame I only learned about you now, honestly.”
“Yeah, it’s okay, we’re usually out of the way, anyway. You know what that’s like, right, Fours?”
The marine stiffened at the sudden attention, and at the subsequent attention from everyone else. Poor guy. “Uh. Yeah.”
“Oh, hey, how’s that mission with Death going?” Sevenset asked him, looking between the marine and the commander. “That’s how he found you right?”
Fours nodded. “Yeah. It’s… good, I guess?”
“They needed the help, that’s for sure,” the commander added. “Although, Bacara’s doing a pretty good job without the general around.”
Trees nodded, remembering General Mundi had assisted on Geonosis, and likely hadn’t been cleared to return to the Nova Corps yet after the assault. Some of the others looked a little lost, though. He reminded them.
“How long do you think he’ll be out?” Fours asked quietly. Trees couldn’t tell if it was genuine concern behind the question or curiosity.
He shrugged. “No idea. I never actually saw him, he was with the two-twelfth most of the time.”
The commander made some nonverbal reply to that before adding, “Well, at least he’ll be coming back. Geonosis has done worse before.”
He would know. Trees had looked him up after his first appearance, just like he had done for them. Commander Sixes had taken part in the first assault on Geonosis over three years ago. As Trees had dug a little deeper, he’d discovered almost nothing but casualty reports in connection. The commander had lost all but three of his original unit that day. Of the three left, two had died in combat, and the third just had a lot of “unknowns” in the report. That might explain the prickly shell of a personality.
Yeah, well, there weren’t brain worms the first time, Trees thought, rubbing his face tiredly. He then realized he’d spoken out loud when the guys who hadn’t been there first balked at him. Whoops.
“Brain worms?” Loops repeated, recoiling, his nose scrunched in disgust. Fours had a similar, though silent, reaction.
“Should’ve had Blitz Co there,” Zero remarked, barely fazed by the revelation.
The commander was oddly silent.
Trees shook his head. “Yeah, well, I’m tired, so I’m gonna turn in. Make sure you add Fours and Zero to the comm link.”
Sevenset nodded. “Will do, Green Bean.”
Trees leveled a deadpan stare at him. “Zero’s green too, get creative. And you’re not the only ARC now, ‘ARCBoi with five i’s,’” he told him, then clicked off the holoprojector.

WELL IT'S BEEN A SIZZLIN' SECOND SINCE I POSTED PART 2 but that's okay :) Life has been a bit hectic, and also I forgot. Also!! Zero belongs to my dear friend @23-bears and the 118th lads and General Bala have their own blog: @118th-special-forces. Go say hi! And yes, I have part 4 written, so hopefully it won't be another EON between chapters 😬

Hey hon! How ya doing today? If I were to describe you in one word, I’d probably say “creative”. You have so many cool ideas, and I love when you share them! Love ya!!
hi honey honey!! I’m doing much better today :) i was doing laundry today and i was blasting music and i had a glass of wine at the same time and then i did some organizing (to try and soothe my ocd) so I’m feeling a lot better today!
Oh gosh oh gosh oh gosh im gonna start crying! I can’t even express how much that means to me that you think i have so many cool ideas! Especially lately when my brain feels fried when my rotation is Monday-Friday from 7-7 and I feel like my creative juices are at zero right now because of how overworked i am… hearing someone say they still think I’m creative and that you enjoy when I share my ideas… I just wanna wrap you in the warmest hug in the entire world!!! I love youuuuuu so so so very much!!! <3333
Anonymously describe me in one word!

belle and sebastian albums reviewed:
tigermilk: i mean points for being my favourite band's first album but i literally never listen to it. i should probably check it out again because i don't remember how most of the songs go maybe i do like them after all. we rule the school is pretty good but always makes me think of that one episode of himym with the sock monkey b&s girl.
if you're feeling sinister: literally a perfect album??? LITERALLY a perfect album my favourite album of all time. pure art. songs are all poignant and poetic and some Fun catchy songs as well (seeing other people??) there was a period when i was 18 when i listened to this album literally every day and especially get me away from here, i'm dying. this album Defined my late teens and formed the final part of my personality and i love it. zero skips. also their first album to release in my lifetime.
the boy with the arab strap: this one released on my second birthday! im not really into it though, kinda feels bland and boring to me, nothing sticks out. i think it's quite a popular album (the titular song always comes up on Lists) but meh. i have been listening to is it wicked not to care? a lot recently though, one of my favourite non-stuart-vocals songs. calming. good background album for reading
fold your hands child, you walk like a peasant: this one's got some personality!! feels a bit more experimental and creepy, there's not a lot of big hitters and i have to be in the right mood but i'll listen to this one. some ethereal vibes.
storytelling: Do Not Like. im here for songs. next.
dear catastrophe waitress: yessss here we go!!! by far the most ~fun album, funky fresh. this is the most listenable/commercial album and the one I'd be most likely to play to other people. piazza, new york catcher is a classic and also i love i'm a cuckoo even more now bc it came on my ipod when i was on the coach away from the airport in japan and i was like I'D RATHER BE IN TO.KY.O while on my way to tokyo. i also think even the less upbeat-fun more classic-b&s ones on this album like if she wants me are some of the best
push barman to open old wounds: somehow missed this album until literally this year?? so im not super familiar with it yet but i like it. lazy line painter jane is a good one because my best friend is an artist and b&s is already very much a Band To Think About Your Best Friend to.
the life pursuit: we are now a Decade into their discography and it's still banger after banger. funny little frog is actually my number one Best Friend b&s song, and i desperately want to make a white collar fanvid to white collar boy. as an album feels more similar to dear catastrophe waitress, which is to say you don't have to be a pretentious indie freak to enjoy it. bonus points for having the first few songs from the god help the girl film that would eventually lead me to discovering this band <3
write about love: im not a big fan of when they get guest artists on for the most part, but i do find it funny that the titular song is sung by CAREY MULLIGAN. this album is Fine.
the third eye centre: MAKE ME DANCE I WANT TO SURRENDER YOUR FAMILIAR ARMS I REMEMBER... i don't really care about remixes but it's nice to collect the EP-only releases and stuff. they're new to me because i only listen to the albums. i like meat and potatoes.
girls in peacetime want to dance: just under two decades into the discography we reach my favourite song of all time <3333 nobody's empire bitch i respect YOU. i don't listen to the rest of this album so much but i might do in the future. i like the literary references in this one.
i haven't listened to the most recent 3 albums but ik at least two of them are primarily made up of Old songs... I'll get round to it.
