#i just wanna play a game that doesn't make me want to destroy earth

working on a story/game/thing set in the 1990s, it's about the world changing and and the age of magic beginning. time is going to progress narratively only and I want the ending to take place on New Years to fit into the things are changing vibe.
The story is going to be playful but take itself seriously enough, think like Adventure Time or SLARPG in terms of tone, at least at this point in concept and development.
I'm thinking it'll either take place in '99 for the big heavy theming of entering the new millennium as the world changes forever.
Or
Somewhere earlier where the actual year turnover won't ultimately matter beyond the imagery of a new year beginning by the end of the story.
No show results option or suggest your own, though if you choose the second option and have a specific year in mind I'm very willing to listen, do give reasons if you suggest a specific year. Hell feel free to give reasons if you chose '99 too.
If you want more deets hit the read more.
Tumblr media
So you wanna know more about this idea huh?
Well I was playing Tunic not long after Lenna's Inception and the Anodyne games and thought, hey I'd really love to make my own Zelda game too.
The idea is that 12,000ish years ago magic was discovered to be a thing by humanity, around this time a dragon appeared and warned that magic would doom the world. The magic users refused to listen and so a fight broke out, the dragon killed them all.
With the magic users all dead the dragon sealed earth in an anti-magic bubble and requested that their followers kill them to truly end all magic on earth, in their final moments they cast a spell with what magic is left inside the bubble to ensure they reincarnate if magic ever returns and can influence their new incarnation to destroy magic once again.
skip forward to the 1990s, after the industrial revolution caused untold amounts of ecological damage the anti-magic bubble is damaged along with all the horrors we know to have happened in reality.
At some point a corporation happens to find the truth, that magic exists and that a dragon is central to how it will alter our world. So they use it in several projects and build dragons to guard the locations these projects are taking place in. These locations then transform into dungeons.
Our hero finally enters the picture, Connie, a young woman who's just been doing whatever with her life, after investigating a rumor about monsters at a construction site she finds herself guided by a voice to take up a sword and fight the immitation dragons so she can achieve her true power, take on the form of a dragon herself, and save the world from the threat of magic.
Connie decides however after an accident at the first dungeon that maybe the world will be better off with magic as long as it's not solely in the hands of greedy rich bastards.
There's a lot more I have figured out but I think this is enough to get an idea for the poll. I am happy to blather more about the setting and Connie herself, her friends eventually too once I have them figured out. Feel free to send me asks about this. I'm prolly gonna make a sideblog for this at some point. Ideally once I have an idea if I can reasonably make a videos game or not lol.

It's interesting that Diablo doesn't stir even in front of an eldritch entity, any human would probs go mad when seeing an eldritch true form but Diablo keeps together. I love all the little details you mention, especially when it comes to the descriptions of madness and the inhuman similarities he and eldritch reader share. Honestly he would prefer the true form probably.
Thank you, I love writing horror!
Gore gives me brain rot; I'm melting beneath the monsters that wanna rip me apart and the horrors that wanna destroy the planet. Eldritches and the moral concept of the mind, horror and scares send me in a massive spiral, with the drama and suspense packed into it? Amazing!
It's a whole lotta fun to run deep into, and its great practice if you ever want a feel for the horror genre. There are so many things you can do, more things to experiment with. I own a bookcase full of horror I admire revisiting, my inspiration mainly stems from them and other books I grew up with.
It made sense to me that Diablo wouldn't flinch in front of an Eldritch, given why and how he acts in TTIGRAAS canon. He is by no means a fool, and even more merciless. Less so to his kind and those separate in inhumanity, to which you are an upmost product of. A pinacol of extreme strain furthest thing from human, a foreign definition of unbalance further then demons themselves. Just more reasons to show no weakness, with you at a level of 'supernatural' Diablo could never physically reach no matter what form he evolves or achieves.
It takes an enormous amount of effort to intimate, let alone flinch, Diablo the slightest bit, head straight and his back even straighter. He is pretty fearless and cares not for the contrary. I said multiple times before, Diablo is completely unmoved by appearances all together, even ones meant to...
'unhinge' the brain.
The thing with Diablo is not only is he inhuman, but also extremely experienced. In other words, knowledgeable in more ways than one in good and evil. He knows quite a lot and knows exactly how useful-and dangerous-such knowledge is. Well informed of the powers and possible secrets beyond his world. As there are always shadows, he has only seen near all. Powers ahead and behind, in between and hidden, waiting for the light to drive them out. You are just another shadow, in need of studying, yet another secret to be revealed.
Uncovering thought and purpose is what Diablo specializes in, leaving no stone, vein and magicule unturned. Pride is Diablo's sin, and he absolutely shows it. There is no silliness with Diablo-even in the games he plays-only a master of the chess board, who aims to use his pawns to the fullest potential and predict the moves of his opponent long before they make it. In fact, it's something he is passionate about; the excitement, the amount of pleasure and satisfaction he gains from unveiling an ancient mystery, unraveling the world's lost wonders over yonder.
And what greater mystery then you?
A glitch, tearing solar wind in space, and a mistake in natural design?
No degree of science, experience in this universe or understanding could ever comprehend you, not when they measure with normalcy. No one who is normal, no one who is human could ever hope to survive singularity, your unstable, unchained self.
Your existence, the proof of a where above the atmosphere, requires a substantial amount of sheer will power and understanding-assuming you could be understood entirely-to even keep oneself' together, so much so you have to stabilize and simplify yourself beyond to walk amongst people,
even then it's still a stretched maybe.
Seeing as Diablo is a primordial demon that committed his fair share of atrocities within or outside Rimuru's rule,
no person in their right mind would call Diablo normal.
Diablo is a demonic weapon of mass destruction. He witnessed madness and insanity aplenty in his line of work, in all his centuries of walking the Earth. Downfalls of angels, humans and their greedy spiral for power and wealth. As well as fellow calamities, falling victim to their destruction and despair. Evidenced further by the primordial Demon Lords and their flow in the natural world, the innate fear they strike and the mayhem-all life devested within their range-they bring forth. To both innocent and deserving.
While Diablo is not immune to trauma, he experiences it vastly different than how normal people do, as expected from an ancient demon.
Cold as ice, incredibly discreet and ever most loyal to a fault. An enigma as you are, unpredictable and crafty as they may come. A shadow in a shadow, a secret of secrets. A riddle designed to confuse and overwhelm the morals, driven with very keen interest in the unknown and the mysteries of his world, the offers on the harsh outside.
Diablo is one of the few people who will effectively stand up to intense beings like Eldritches and some of the fewer that can come to understand them-or in this case you-individually and carefully. Or relate to them on certain scales.

Mass Effect Questionnaire
Tumblr media
I saw @littleneonlily do this, so I figured I'd give it a shot, too, while I still have Mass Effect on the brain. 1. Tie between Garrus, Wrex, and Liara
2. Mordin, Samara, Zaeed, and Garrus again
3. Liara again, Kaidan, and Garrus...again
4. The M-76 Revenant. Who doesn't love a non-stop barrage of death?
5. Still like the Revenant, but if you want me to pick something else, I'll do the N7 Crusader
6. Soldier. Go ahead, call me bland, but I think it best fits both the gameplay and the story. Though I do also like the Vanguard and Sentinel classes.
7. Noveria in Mass Effect 1. I dunno why, but I just love the atmosphere this planet has, both setting and story wise.
8. Tying in with the above, the entirety of Noveria's arc, for the same reasons, with Bringing Down the Sky right behind it.
9. The Suicide Mission itself, which is my favorite level in all of gaming. Runner-ups would have to include Garrus's Recruitment, Tali and Grunt's Loyalty Missions, and the Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC.
10. It's gonna be a tie between Priority Rannoch and Tuchanka. And the entirety of the Citadel DLC, too.
11. Depends. With Male Shepard, I like to pair him with Kaidan (shameless Mshenko fan here). With Female Shepard, I like to romance Liara. For Runner ups, I'd do Garrus and Tali (hetero normies)
12. I kinda wish James Vega was a romance option, preferably Bi, because I love my himbos. Other than that, I'd love to see some bisexual romance options from currently romanceable companions, such as Garrus, Tali, Thane, and Miranda.
13. Mako. Both control like ass, but at least the Mako isn't made of wet tissue paper.
14. Oh boy, you guys are gonna hate me for this one, but to me...it's Tali. Look, I don't hate her at all. In fact, she's pretty good, but HOLY SHIT, some of her fans are zealous.
15. I dunno how the rest of the fandom sees them, but I do really like Samantha Traynor and Steve Cortez. For side characters, they're really well written, both character and romance wise.
16. Haven't played Multiplayer in ages.
17. Refer to above, though I do recall liking the Earth maps.
18. I'd say SR-2. If you wanna be more specific, I like the version of it in ME3.
19. Destroy all the way...and maybe control. I know, E.D.I. and the Geth won't survive, but it's not like folks are just gonna forget how to rebuild synthetics (unless you're a moron who gets everyone killed). Control is a decent runner up if you wanna spare the robots. Synthesis is bullshit space magic (seriously, what the fuck even happens in Synthesis?). And Refusal is just...dumb.
20. I tend to lean more towards Paragon. Granted, I do make some Renegade Choices here and there, either for the sake of pragmatism or sheer amusement, but generally, the Shepards I play will lean a bit more on the Paragon side.
Not tagging anyone this time, since IDK how many of my mutuals are Mass Effect Fans, but feel free to give it a shot.

for your recent ask game about attack on prime: optimus + 13 :^
i wanna know his happiest memory because i know itll make me sob violently
This ask game btw
Any time that Optimus is showing the Survey Corps, specifically the 104th something new, makes him genuinely happy. Not just because of his desire to share knowledge, but because they fucking deserve it.
Being on Earth, Optimus doesn't know anything about humans and how they grow up, or how they are supposed to act in a moment of peace. I'd like to imagine the introduction of Jack, Miko, and Rafael into their base provided some insight on how humans are supposed to act. Specifically human children. Optimus would sometimes quietly observe when no one was thinking he was and he just sees Miko playing her guitar and Jack and Rafael dancing along. Maybe Rafael will race his toy car, or Jack will try to beat Miko at a video. They do homework or even have sleepovers at the base. These are the normal lives that they are leading, and the last thing Optimus wants is to lose to have that taken away from them and all other humans alike.
So when Optimus sees the Survey Corps, it breaks his spark a little to see that they don't have that. They haven't had that in a long time. Even if the Walls weren't destroyed in the past, they were still confined to the Walls. They couldn't go anywhere else. Even before and after the fall of Wall Maria, they just been so traumatized. They've all lost friends, parents, loved ones in horrific fashion. They aren't children like Jack, Miko, and Rafael. They are hardened soldiers with a duty to fulfill, and they shouldn't have to put themselves on the line so much to get that semblance of peace they lost.
So when Optimus shows the Survey Corps something that they've never seen before, like the hologram on the neutral ship, or the bioluminescence plankton in the ocean, and he sees their faces and their reactions or joy and child-like wonder, it makes him happy. Because they are experiencing this joy and normality that they have always deserved for all the hardships that they went through.

The Dark Beginnings ~ Origins of the Ink Demons Chapter 0 Finale (4/6)
Nights : Thanks for your help, guys. I could've done it without you two. You must be her sister, Moirai Albarn?
Moirai Albarn : Yeah, that's me. I'm her older sister, and Maka over here is my "Younger" sister. We have the same hair style but a different color scheme with our hare, don't you get it? Younger sister.
Nights : Really? So how did you know that she's the Shattered Meister and not you?
Moirai Albarn : Because I am an heir to the Phantonian Race, she's the one that she's looking for as well.
Jackle : Seriously! That girl's a flat chested runt!
Maka Albarn : *angry vein* OH YEAH CAN A RUNT DO THIS!?! (uses Blood Magic on Jackle)
Jackle : Wow! She can use Blood Magic as well? I heard the stories from the Phantoms of Society since they were equivalent to the Shattered Soldiers, but still I noticed about this one is for sure! The one they called the Shattered Meister is only just a small-sized kid! Am I right, fellas?
Maka Albarn : For the last time...DON'T CALL ME FLAT CHESTED, YOU JERK! (Knocks Jackle out of the way)
Nights : Not what I expected.
Reala : No need to be a little harsh on that one. But you seemed to be a little more consecutive about being agressive or a disagreement.
Nights : Yeah, I don't think that he was just talking about your sister's size, but, uhh...doesn't even count.
Maka Albarn : *angry vein* OH REALLY!? WELL, IF HE OR ANYONE DARE SAYS THAT TO MY FACE, I'LL KNOCK SOME GOD DAMN SENSE INTO ANYONE THAT PISSES ME OFF!
Moirai Albarn : *sweatdrop* That doesn't totally ring a bell. Hmmm...I wonder if the witches are still in real world AU to think that they're already succeeded the mission? I wonder where those two might be?
"Meanwhile in PSO..."
[Growl, From the Depths of the Earth - Hideaki Kobayashi]
(the battle continues)
Group : UWAAAAAAAHHHH!!!
Kimial Diehl : This is not part of the Mission! It's not what the chief told us that someone interrupted it!
Ashley : It's every dog has it days, but now it's going to be Dog-sh*t days if you know what are we gonna do fighting a boss dragon that resides underneath the dome!? Do you think that Sonic's co-creator is ever gonna hear about you playing PSO?
Kimial Diehl : I've know that game so much! It makes Sonic Team wanna vomit!
Eruka Frog : How do you even this stop this crazy Dragon!
Jacqueline O'Lantern Dupre : Fear not, fire-breathing beast! I shall slay you upon my sword and I will beheaded to defeat you!
(dragon starts breathing fire)
Jacqueline O'Lantern Dupre : Okay! Okay! I admit! Flaming types don't work at the same time! If my flaming sword of judgement can match the power of his flames, it will have no effect on this case. I need a weakness to defeat the Dome Dweller. Lightning spell and Water spells won't work, because water doesn't work in PSO. The only spell that water works is...
Rupika : Barta spell! (casts ice to attack the dragon)
(Dragon Roars in pain)
Kimial Diehl : An Ice spell? That's a technique called Barta! But who...
Rupika : Hey, girlfriends! You should helping us out! But it's least that you are very welcome to lend me a hand for you!
Ashley : Hey, Fonewearl! We could really use a hand if you want to!
Rupika : Gladly you asked! Cause this Dweller is going down to Thrash! I'm gonna give this Dome Dweller a taste of his own medicine! I'm gonna make you into a frozen popsicle, so eat some ice, Dome Dweller!
Kimial Diehl : Nows our chance! Ashley, the Ice spell!
Ashley : right!
Ashley & Kimial : [in unision] Hocus Pocus, Make the dragon frozenly delicious!
(the three combine their ice techniques to defeat the dragon)
(Dragon Roaring in pain before it falls down on the ground)
Rupika : Yatta! Another one bites the dust! Looks like he won't be having dessert this time with that fiery breath of his!
Ashley : Phew! That was pretty rough for fighting a boss dragon.
Eruka Frog : So much for this guy. He almost barbecued us when it destroyed Jorogumo after some entity must've used Chaos Control to warp us in your world. But we're from the real and we need to get back to complete our mission.
Rupika : Oh, is that so? Come, I'll show you around the city.
Ashley : ...The city?
[scene flips]
[Pioneer 2 - Hideaki Kobayashi]
Ashley : Wait a second. What is even this place?
Rupika : Why this is the city of Pioneer two, and Pioneer 2 is a giant spaceship that is located near the planet Ragol. I usually that I live on the planet ragol, nothing much since I was the only force to have this power called "D-Cells" but I have no idea what those would work for me. I'm Rupika, the Fonewearl and I'm one of the good guys that calls me a rookie.
Ashley : So...Another of the Sega Representatives. And you say that you are best friends with a guy named Ash Canaan who known since you two were in, uhh....
Rupika : Pioneer 2 / Ragolian High. Ash was a high school delinquent and I was an ordinary school girl. Look at this photo. (shows a photo of Ash as a delinquent and Rupika herself as a schoolgirl) This is us when we were in school together. He's sure go into the fights with other delinquents, but he protected me when those boys try to lay a finger on me. It was the kind of friendship that we ever forged before he met with the other NPCs, the Hunters, Rangers, and Forces like me, are three classes that wanted to become a hunter someday and will make a lot of money in the game. Players from all over the world, including you, Kimial, come to the guild and get a job to make a lot of money and complete some missions that we like to call it quest.
Kimial Diehl : Oh yeah. So I've known this game when I was still young, and I was brought into the world of PSO, but do this game have a connection with the legendary Blue Hedgehog?
Rupika : Of course, Yuji Naka created Phantasy Star about four years before the blue hedgehog himself debuted to become the rival of the man in red. I know it's hard to understand that Phantasy Star was the very first title that Sonic Team made when it was still Sega AM8, before renamed it to name after the very own mascot himself! We've known the Blue Blur himself for generations, and even have our own weapons that we can now use from shops or from the enemies in Ragol.
Ashley : Yeah!
Eruka Frog : Well, I've known about know about the rivalry between the Red Plumber and the Blue hedgehog, Mario came ten years before Sonic arrived, it's good that you living with the Blue history since Phantasy Star disappeared about 6 years before Sonic Team gave rebirth to PSO.
Rupika : Right! But Episode II is where the we get the add new content theory that foreshadowed Episode IV, right? But why Episode IV would be a new content? What about that card game called Episode 3? What does Episode 3 have to do with cards?
Ashley & Kimial : [in unison] You mix with Yu-Gi-Oh and Phantasy Star, but with classes and monsters Duelists and Monster Cards.
*Cartoon SFX : BOING!*
Ashley : But I'm glad that Episode IV's being mentioned and foreshadow that PSO's original servers might be the victims to be shutdown by the Sega officials. But luckily, players in the real world have created a private server where they can play PSO freely.
Rupika : That's a no brainier of mine!
Kimial Diehl : Hey, Rupika. Not to mention a bit, I think there's a little creature behind your leg. And it's got two tails to thinking it's...(behind Rupika's leg is a Tails Chao) A Chao that looking alike Tails? This one's... a bit shy.
Rupika : Oh that's just Buddy, I named it when I was in High School with Ash. I found him outside when I was taking a trip to Ragol's forest.
[After the Story 2 - Hideaki Kobayashi]
Kimial Diehl : Wait. This is one of the Chao that was being sent to Chao World? So are you really the original owner of the Tails Chao?
Rupika : Quite true. This two-tailed creature crash landed on Ragol when I was still in school to meet with the Rappies.
*flashback*
Rupika : Ever since I was born on a planet inhabitated by Rappies, I was going to have a picnic with Ash to discover Pioneer 1's contact, and we even get to see the amazing scenery on Ragol's beauty before Pioneer 2 and 1 would be contacted. During the picnic, I discovered that a spaceship crashed landed and we discovered that a Tails Chaos was all alone and crying. This allowed me to do something with it and I had to act tough. So I did it in a motherly way and I stopped it crying by craddling him in my arms and sung him a tune. It was the motherly way to take care a Chao that nobody who would noticed, but Ash decided to take care of him properly. And I named him Buddy. I had to keep everything a secret.
*flashback ends*
Rupika : Players would might get this little fella one day and tried to send him into one of the remaining places. PSO players were not trying to take him to a Garden, they want to imprison him. Those players were the people that no chao that ever wanted. Nobody would be there to take care of him when someone is dead. And when we die, there would be no one to look after him, but I'm sure anyone will do. Even all, It thinks that I am like a mother to him. A real mother to take care of a cute and cuddle-some creature.
Ashley : Rupika. I know it's hard for you to take care of a single creature, but you are a Sega Representative that is an NPC created by Yuji Naka, but the thing is that you were desperate to take care of a single life, the one that you should protect and your friends too. I'm sure that they'll treat you something great. After all, you are the greatest mother that will ever...
*RUMBLING*
Jacqueline O'Lantern Dupre : What!? Now what's going on!? (hears communicator beeping)
Kimial Diehl : I guess that was really touching of you, Rupika. But I'm glad that I almost cried alot.
Ashley : Cried alot? Kimial, what do you mean by that
Penny Crygor : (via communicator) Guys, what are you doing!? You gotta get out of here and get back to the Real World before Time Eater finds out that your partner is the Shattered Meister and she will literally wipe the place clean! With you on it!
[Courage - Fumie Kumatani, Warsaw Philharmonic]
Ashley, Eruka & Rupika : Wipe the place clean!?!
Ashley : I gotta get Kimial out of here! Find a place to keep her calming her power down before she shattered the entire place and there won't be another PSO in 12 years! But it's gonna take more that! What will I do before she completely wipes Pioneer 2 out along with everyone aboard including us!? I've got no other choice but recreate the same explosion that was once did to Pioneer 1 by a dark force, named Dark Falz! It's time we take Shattered Resonance to the next level!

Multi-Dimensional Pt. 5
Tumblr media
 In which you have a genius idea to take these suckers out, you accidentally do something you’re not supposed to, and you take the taller bit of your friends out. 
----
And then, you realize, that it's getting deeper into October.
As it got deeper into October, the dwarves and hobbit remain in your house. It's been a total of 2 1/2 weeks, now, and you can tell they're getting antsy from staying in one place for so long.
Like, around halloween time.
An idea strikes you in the head like a bag of bricks, and right away you realize that you're a genius.
You're sitting on the couch with Bilbo, Oin, and Bofur when the lightbulb goes off in your head suddenly, and once it does you hop to your feet and run upstairs at top speed, successfully baffling everyone idly watching the nature documentary you put on.
You pass Dwalin and Balin while you zoom to your bedroom, and when they see you run past them like freaking Speedy Gonzales they're both super confused.
Right away you grab your laptop off your bed and pull up a window.
The keys of your compute clack softly while you type in your town as well as 'Halloween Festival' and the first few results as well as images on the Google engine prove your theory.
Every year here people dress up in advance and celebrate throughout the duration of the week leading up to it. Of course, the trick-or-treating only happens on the day of, but there are a plethora of other things for people to do during that week.
People dress up, children go on field trips, there's a festival, and even the grocery stores have little events they put on to promote their business.
You've never really gone before since crowded places aren't the most comfortable for you, but you actually feel a little giddy about taking them all to see the town with you.
Right away you know you're going to have to buy them all costumes, but for the last week you've been pet sitting this rich couples Rag-doll cat, Princess, and your going rate is $18/hr for a week... Do the math ;).
You're going to get paid later in the day today after you drop her back off at their house, and that's not even accounting for the other animals you've been watching for varying amounts as well.
So, essentially, you're gonna be perfectly fine financially.
Anyways, as soon as you're done doing your little bit of research there on your computer you close it and leave your room again, hopping down the stairs with a big bright smile on your face.
When you reenter the living room, everyone is gathered there and looking at you expectantly.
At first, you don't do or say anything since you're super confused, but when the silence begins to drag on for too long you ask hesitantly, "Uh... Is everything alright? What's going on?"
"Well, you left to your room very quickly." Bilbo comments, standing up from his spot on the couch, "But from the smile on your face, I'm assuming it wasn't because of anything bad?"
You nod your head and sigh, leaning down to pet Mittens who is rubbing herself against your legs, "Yeah, everything's fine. It's great, actually." You pause for dramatic effect, then add, "I just figured out a way to take all of you out! Like, to see the town and stuff!"
"You have?" Thorin asks, raising an eyebrow skeptically.
"Mmhm!" You stand up straight and nod your head quickly, bouncing on the balls of your feet, "See, I figured I'd probably be able to take you and maybe Kili, Bofur, and Dwalin out at some point... like, if some of you were to groom yourselves different or wear hats...," once more you stop your speech and realize that may be offensive, "N-Not that I think there's anything wrong with how you look-"
"Nobody is offended, I'm sure. Go on." Thorin urges, amusement present on their faces from your sudden frantic backtracking so you don't offend them.
"R-Right, uh... anyways, you guys are taller so I knew I could probably bring you along sometime, but I wasn't sure how to get everyone else to come along, and then I realized that this next week is the week leading up to halloween!" You say it like it will answer all their questions, forgetting that they probably don't know what halloween is.
Silence passes by for a few seconds as they wait for you to go on, and when you don't Kili asks, "What's 'halloween'?"
"Oh, yeah, it's like, a holiday where children dress up and go to peoples houses to get candy. And when I say dress up, I mean in costumes." You rub the back of your neck while you explain and add, "In my city, the place we are now, we celebrate throughout the whole week. There are games, festivals, and lots of events... and there are people running around in masks all of the time. So I can get some of you costumes and then I can bring you all along!" Your smile returns as you pick apart the details, and it seems your excitement is contagious.
"Wait, so we will get to walk around the town and see other things?" Nori questions, looking over at his brothers with a smile.
"Yeah, but I gotta get you costumes first. Like, ghosts and some masks of different things. But if we wanna make the most of our time then I should probably go now."
You turn after that and go to the counter to grab your purse, pausing when Balin asks, "So it's a holiday where people run around in disguises, getting candy, and playing games as a community?"
Once again you nod your head, turning around to look at him with the same bright smile on your face.
"So, anyone can be anyone?" The older dwarf asks, furrowing his eyebrows.
"Yeah, pretty much." You look down and go through your purse, making sure everything you need is in there before walking over to put on your tennis shoes.
"Even the man who was here the week before?"
Now that certainly gives you a pause.
Before you were never worried about it, but now with what's happened with him, you aren't so sure that it's so safe anymore.
"Um... yeah, I guess." You'd rather not think about it, so you start to tie your laces up. "I'm sure it'll be fine."
"Well, you already said that you can bring some of us, so why not do that now? Just to make sure?" Balin asks, though it's more of a 'you should really do it cause we're gonna freak out if you don't'.
You don't respond and instead finish tying your shoes first, thinking over his request.
When you're done doing up your shoes you turn and see that they're all looking at you with similar expressions of worry, and it makes you sigh, "Okay, fine. But whoever goes can't wear their normal clothes cause people will be weirded out. The halloween thing doesn't start for another day."
There's a moment of silence while some of them exchange looks before Thorin speaks, "You mentioned Kili and myself first. Surely that should be fine."
"Um..." You look between the two and tilt your head to the side thoughtfully, arms crossed over your chest. "Sure. But your hair is definitely going to stick out, Thorin."
He nods his head in understanding.
"And what about me?" Kili asks eagerly. It seems he's really excited about finally being able to leave your property.
"You're fine, I think. Am I taking both of you?" You inquire with furrowed eyebrows, walking a few steps forward.
"You might as well." Kili says with a big silly smile.
Well, you can't argue with that logic.
You shrug your shoulders and head up the stairs again, "Alright, go get changed into some of the clothes I gave you."
---
Once they're dressed in t-shirts and sweatpants (you didn't know their sizes so you got whatever would fit at the time) you observe them both with narrowed eyes while rubbing your chin.
"Hm... On a scale of 1 to 10, I give Kili a 9 and Thorin a 6." You say after a moment, turning to look at everyone else and get their opinions.
"What is the scale referring to?" Fili pipes up suddenly, looking up at you.
"How convincing they are."
"Why do I get a 6?" Thorin grumbles, looking at you pointedly.
"Your hair." You reply simply, walking over with a hair tie stretched between your fingers, "Hold still."
You gather his hair over his shoulders and pull it back, putting his hair through it and wrapping it around until it's nice and tight.
As soon as you're finished, you step around him and look to see if it's made a difference, and when you've determined that it's good, you smile, "Okay, now it's at least an 8." You turn towards Kili and ask, "Your hair is fine, right? Or do you want me to put it up?"
He doesn't say anything and neither does anyone else, and when the silence persists you raise an eyebrow, "Hello? Earth to Kili, I just asked you a question."
"Uh, no, you don't have to, thank you." He shakes his head and seems to come to some sort of realization since he starts to smile at his uncle in that big teasing grin you've, unfortunately, become accustomed to.
You nod your head and skip back over to the counter, swiping your keys off of it before heading to the front door.
"Come out whenever, I'm gonna get my car started."
Once you're out of the house some of the dwarves begin to laugh, and Kili pokes fun at his uncle, "Thorin, you have quite a red face, are you sure you can go?"
Thorin glares at his nephew and replies coldly, "She meant nothing by it."
"Right, but is that disappointment I hear?"
The glare he throws his nephew is so withering it could suck the life right out of a flower, but Kili is no flower, so he only laughs more.
"She offered to do yours too, you know." Fili adds when he begins to feel bad for his uncle.
Kili pauses his laughter and glares at his brother, "But she didn't do it."
"She would've."
"Oh hush, you're just upset that she didn't ask to do your hair." Kili shoots back, glaring at his brother.
"I am not, because unlike everyone else, I knew she meant naught by asking." He shoots back with a smirk.
Kili huffs indignantly and glares at his brother, saying no more as he heads out the door after you.
Thorin turns to everyone before following and states, "Try not to destroy anything while we are gone." His voice is firm and he waits until he gets nods from them all before leaving after you.
---
Once you're all in the car you put it into drive and go, turning up the radio so the car won't be completely filled with silence while you drive.
Occasionally, you'll glance at Thorin in the passenger seat or Kili in the back, and each time you do they're looking out the window at the passing scenery with awe.
"If you're impressed now, wait until we get into the big city." You comment suddenly, smiling to yourself while you watch the road ahead.
And when you do arrive in the city, they are impressed indeed.
The gasp that leaves Kili when you drive through the first big street draws a giggle from you, and when he presses his face against the window as you pull into the parking lot of the seasonal halloween store, your smile grows even bigger.
Even Thorin is impressed by all the wonderful things around, and when you turn off the car after parking you turn to look at them, "Thoughts so far?"
"It's wonderful." Kili breathes, looking at the bright, moving signs and huge stores all around.
"Yes, I don't believe I've ever seen anything so grand before." Thorin agrees, looking over at you with a smile of his own.
"Well if this impresses you, wait until we get inside the store. Try not to get scared."
---
The three of you eventually make it inside, and when you do they are in awe once more.
The seasonal store is dark with black painted walls and bright white florescent lights, and there are various halloween and horror things everywhere.
When you walk in there is one of those electronic jump-scare things, and while you were expecting it, the poor dears behind you weren't.
The witch thing pops out and cackles loudly, saying one of her many phrases, and as soon as she does both Kili and Thorin freak out. And when I say freak out, I mean 'pulled out some small weapons they decided to bring and screaming' freak out.
Luckily there is no one around at the moment, so you step between them and the witch and laugh nervously, "Put those away please. We're gonna get kicked out if anyone sees you with those."
They look between you and the electronic woman a few times before slowly putting their knives away and relaxing their stances.
"Thank you..."
"What is that?" Kili asks, glaring at the ugly jump-scare machine while you walk past it.
"It's a halloween decoration designed to scare people. And it seems like it worked too." You reply easily, looking back at them with a more mischievous smile.
Kili looks around slightly nervously and grumbles defensively, "I wasn't that scared... Uncles screams are what startled me."
"My screams? Kili, let's not lie now, clearly you were horrified." Thorin says disapprovingly, shaking his head.
"Aw, you guys are cute." You purr jokingly, waltzing up to the kids costumes isle.
They stop arguing after that.
You browse through the messy shelves quietly for a little while, trying to find the best ones, when you see a doggie in the cutest ghost costume.
A squeal leaves your lips when you see the cutie pie and you cup your cheeks as an adoring expression comes onto your face.
Without hesitation you hop over to the owner and ask excitedly, "Where did you get that?"
The man with the dog looked up quickly upon hearing your excited yelp and when he saw your exuberant form he smiled too, "I bought it a week ago here. They're near the back."
His answer fills you with joy, and you continue to stare at his pupper for a moment before he says, "You can pet her if you want, she doesn't bite."
He doesn't need to tell you twice.
You kneel down right away and scratch behind her ears, and her tail begins to wag wildly at the attention.
It seems that she likes you just as much, because she takes a seat and leans into you when you scratch her all over like you do with your dogs. It's at that moment when you begin to wonder if she'll fit in your purse.
Before you can finish your calculations and plans on stealing this mans dog you hear someone clear their throat and you realize then that you forgot all about Thorin and Kili.
You turn your head and see the two of them standing there with amused expressions on their faces.
Upon realization that they're watching you, and have been for a little while now, you jump to your feet and feel your face heat up. "I-If you make fun of me I'll leave both of you here." You threaten very unconvincingly, crossing your arms over your chest.
Kili starts to laugh but he doesn't say anything about it, looking at his uncle who also releases a few chuckles of his own.
You glance back at the man and see that he's looking at them, and you realize he probably thinks Kili's short stature is a little odd.
"U-Uh, thanks for letting me pet your dog!" You say quickly, heading back over to the two of them with a blush on your cheeks.
You turn back to the shelves of costumes and the man and his dog walk away, and once their gone you glare at the two of them half heartedly. "You guys are total meanies." There is faux bitterness in your voice when you speak as well, and it only brings more laughter from them.
"I only find it cute." Kili states, smiling good naturedly before continuing, "Every time you see an animal you get very excited."
"Cause I love animals."
"Yes, we can tell." Thorin muses, stepping up next to you to look at the spiderman mask in your hand.
You tap your foot against the ground a few times before putting the mask back.
A ghost costume for Bilbo; check.
That is all.
You literally don't have anything for anyone else, and honestly you're beginning to think that it's impo-
And then another idea hits you.
Class of middle/high-schoolers in a fantasy club. It's farfetched and barely believable, but most people won't say anything about it out of fear of being offensive, so it's perfect!
You don't have to buy them costumes at all (minus Bilbo), all you need is stuff to make them look less like dwarves and more like children pretending to be dwarves.
It sounds easier than it actually is, but you think you can pull it off. All you need is some netting, makeup, wigs, and nose and scar wav and you'll be set.
Once you get this idea you run away from the kids section with the ghost section and head toward the halloween makeup isle, seeking out the items mentioned previously without hesitation.
You find what you're looking for in minutes, and once you've got everything you zoom to the checkout since you're going to need to look up some tips on how to pull this off.
You're so excited you nearly forget to make sure Kili and Thorin are still with you, but once you see them you smile in relief and pay for everything.
Once you're all back in your car, Thorin asks, "I thought we were going to get masks?"
"Well, we were. But then I had an amazing idea consisting of pretending you're all students or something who invested in really expensive dwarf costumes. It's perfect, 'cause no one will ask and we'll get lots of compliments."
Thorin nods his head slowly and puts his belt on like you showed him, but before you go you turn and look at Kili expectantly.
The young dwarf doesn't say anything at first, but when your staring consists he asks slowly, "What...?"
"Put on your seatbelt."
There's more silence until he puts it on, raising an expectant eyebrow at you, "Is that better?"
"Much."

DEFENDING...
THOR: RAGNAROK!
Okay, so yesterday I asked you guys which is your least favourite MCU movie and why. I said I'd take the most commonly disliked film and try and defend it, using my personal reasonings as well as attempting to counter what issues you had with it yourselves.
Firstly, I'm quite surprised that Ragnarok was the most hated! I was expecting Age of Ultron or Iron-Man 3 (though they weren't too far behind). To make it clear, it's okay to dislike this movie, my attempt at defending the movie is just a bit of fun, but if it lets you see and appreciate the movie in a different light then that's cool! If it doesn't then that's cool too! Here goes...
I'll start with why I personally love Ragnarok, and how it was actually my favourite MCU movie, until Infinity War inevitably took that spot.
Thor was the first character in the franchise to introduce outerspace, and the cosmic side of the cinematic universe. With Iron-Man, Hulk and Cap being restricted to Earth, Thor was key to broadening what types of stories they could tell, what sort of threats and stakes could arise etc. The first Thor movie was certainly a bold move at the time, hoping that audiences would embrace the fantastical themes that he and Asgard brought to the table. Bar Thanos, Thor and Loki are the reason sh*t's going down in the first Avengers movie, so you have them to thank for that.
Flash forward to Dark World however, at this point we've seen Asgard already, so the novelty has worn off slightly. As much as the movie expands our view of Thor's home, we still feel very restricted, as though we're only seeing through a keyhole, when we actually wanna bust the door down and see what an outerspace adventure could really offer, hence why people gravitate towards Guardians of the Galaxy so heavily, because it let loose and didn't feel like it was shying away from the sci-fi elements that made the property what it was.
So with Dark World leaving a bad taste in our mouths (even though I think it's underratedly funny, but perhaps another time), and Thor not quite standing out in Age of Ultron, we're left thinking, do we really even want another Thor movie at this point? Something had to change. The studios' take on Thor was good in ways, but wasn't gripping people as much as say Iron-Man and Cap. If Captain America could have an amazing sequel, why couldn't Thor? With the damage already done via Dark World however, Ragnarok had to be Marvel's shot at redemption and reinvigoration, and I personally think it was.
There's no arguing Ragnarok was a bold step to take Thor, though not everyone agrees it was for the better. Could the Thor we were used to still work given the correct writing and direction? Who knows, but with already 'failing' once with Dark World, it was surely less of a risk to go for something completely unexpected. We go from majestic golds and elegant architecture, to crazy, vibrant, jagged imperfections that you'd expect to see in a retro sci-fi movie. The Thor we knew and expected has lightened up a little, during his few years between Age of Ultron and now, scouring the universe for information on the Infinity Stones. No pun intended, but perhaps his absent couple of years provided some much needed soul searching. So to those that wonder why Thor is suddenly so funny and witty, he's been out and about off-screen for quite a while loosening up! That's how I like to see it at least.
In the first 10 minutes, we're given more cosmic calamity than any of the other Thor movie has provided in their joint runtimes. He's in the fiery realm of Muspelheim, kicking the crap out of hellish minions and their giant demonic flame lord, Surtur, whilst the Immigrant Song plays. Then moments later, there's a damn dragon beast that's on fire that chases him, as the coolest little synth melody twinkles in the background. That cool little action scene not only gave Mjölnir the ultimate send off, but I remember thinking just from that point, "This is what Thor movies are meant to be like! This is already my favourite MCU movie!"
I think the comedy is people's biggest issue with the film. Admittedly, the style of humour was a little jarring at first, but I soon let go of doubts and embraced what the movie was trying to do. Notice how I said 'style' of humour, and not just 'humour' as a whole, because a lot of people forget just how comedic the first two Thor movies actually are. I feel like humour allows a sort of alleviation to what could potentially be something rather odd on screen. That way, if the movie embraces it's outlandish source materials, the comedy allows us to laugh with it, rather than at it. I think people are okay with the inclusion of comedic elements - I think they just weren't expecting the amplification that it had. So as I said, you can either let that ruin the film, or you can embrace/accept it, because there is just as much heart in this film as there is humour.
I know there's people that think Hela was wasted. Having watched these movies countless times, I rarely see any issues with villains anymore. The fabled 'villain problem' springs to mind, where everyone says that they were just there as a device to make the hero save the day. But what's actually wrong with that technically speaking? And how is that any different to other movies outside of the superhero realm? I see most of these villains as stepping stones for the heroes. These movies belong to the heroes, so the way I see it, the villains are there to develop and shape the good guy into whatever the finished product may be by the time the credits roll, just like all the other characters do in the movie. To prove this point, everyone loves Thanos as a villain, but that's because Infinity War was his movie, given the amount of time spent with him. I think the only exception is Loki, but his character is so well-received because he sits within the grey area of good and bad. We've seen both sides of him now.
Yes, I understand that villains are a little lack luster in most of these movies, but I liked what Hela brought to the franchise. We get the shock of discovering Thor has an older sister, she manages to take over Asgard, she demolishes everything in sight, she was the reason Thor is reinvigorated via his new right eye and weapon, she forced Thor's hand, making him enact Ragnarok (even though there's no stopping Ragnarok but it was a cool twist) and destroy Asgard, she was the first main female villain at long last, and she had a giant wolf. Some films spend more time with the villain, and some sacrifice it to focus more on the hero. There's never a straight 50:50 between good and evil in their storytelling, and I imagine it's always a hard call to make when balancing and ensuring that not only do the audience care for the hero, but also everything and everyone around them. Regardless the solo hero is always the focal point. Unless you're watching Breaking Bad or American Psycho or... *Lists shows and movies told from the bad guy's perspective*
I think the underlining disapproval stems from the fresh direction that it took. His hammer goes bye-byes, his warrior friends die just like that, Thor no longer looks or acts like the Thor we're used to, and Jane moved on. People will either be okay with those things, or it'll be too much to accept. Was the film too bold? Perhaps, but Thor can conduct lightning through his body now and that fight scene on the Bifrost bridge was badass.
Jokes aside, I suppose it's up to the individual audience member to decide whether or not the change is too much. A part of me wishes that the Thor we currently have was the Thor from the get go - things would've been different, but I love the character no matter what weapon or haircut you give him. Ragnarok gave the God of Thunder the opportunity to prove why he's a badass and not just a guy that relies on a hammer. They turned the dial up on his power level, and then again in Infinity War, which is good because I feel like prior to Ragnarok, Thor was kinda just there, y'know?
Everyone has their own favourite and least favourite movie, and no one should force you to alter your personal interests and disinterests, but if I were to wrap up what I thought of the film, Thor: Ragnarok to me is a fun, crazy joyride from start to finish, that provided a lot of heart as well as light-heartedness. It introduced some new, diverse characters whilst also giving the Hulk a much-needed story arc. A bold game-changer for the character and the lore he contributes to the MCU. It's the type of change I can appreciate and most definitely get behind!
What do you guys think? Have I swayed your opinions, or do you hate the movie more now! Let me know. Thanks for reading! Shall I do more of these? Let me know that too. I'm off to buy snacks and watch Ragnarok now, no joke!

Warnings: Swearing, angst, mind games, smut in later parts (Fuckbuddy!Bucky lol)
Summary: Angels and Demons have been sworn enemies their whole lives, that’s just how it is. When Bucky decides to go against these unsaid rules, it brings a set of consequences into the lives of those who spend time with him. In Y/n’s case that consequence is an angel named Steve Rogers. 
Teaser part
A/N: Hey guys!! So this is a new fic and will have probably like 10 parts to it, hope you like it!! Message me if you want to be tagged xxx
Masterlist
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Angels and demons all live on earth. They're all around, mixed into the world living among humans. It's the best way to do their respective jobs. There was a whole under world community of them around; Not just angels and Demons but other mythical creatures; vampires, werewolves, warlocks, the list goes on.
 Humans were almost fully unaware of the people who lived around them, very few knowing that these mythical creatures were real... They would never know if they encountered one; they looked the same as the everyday average person. Only mythical creatures could tell who was who, the only two creatures that were harder to identify were Angels and Demons. They were good at morphing into a personality that was not theirs. 
Angels and demons were life long enemies, a burning hatred between them since the day they landed on the ground. Angels discarded demons as being reckless; disruptive and manipulative, it was true, they were. It was not clever to get involved with them. 
Demons discarded Angels as prudish, naive and boring. They stuck to their rules acting as if they were gods gift... Looking down on demons, with their heads held high a radiant confidence of superiority.
Both Y/n and Bucky had been friends since demons first made their way into the human population. They loved to wreck havoc on the world. They were a troublesome pair, ‘partners in crime’ some would say. They were competitive with each other, always testing each other's limits. But they were demons... They didn't have limits which was why it was so fun. 
 The both of them were always playing life games. How many humans they could get with on a night out. How many humans could they be home wreckers too. It was a dangerous game, but it kept things exciting. 
Several times an angel was sent to where they had caused trouble, being scolded and moved on so they wouldn't cause a scene, always laughing it off and frustrating the angels. Winding up an angel was almost as fun as destroying other peoples lives. 
The both of them were at a small bar playing a game of how many shots they could handle, along with 2 humans they had coerced into joining them. Humans were always compelled by demons, there was a certain pull humans had towards them making it hard to resist.
Y/n and Bucky were smirking at each other across the table, watching the two humans down their 11th shot of vodka that night. 
"Oh god, I think I'm going to throw up" one of them spoke, standing up hurriedly and running to the toilets. 
"Don't think God will hear you" Bucky said smirking, his eyes meeting Y/n’s with a knowing look. 
"Fuck, me too" the other spoke, slamming a hand over their mouth as they followed the person before them. 
Y/n leaned back in her seat laughing loudly as Bucky stared unimpressed at the empty spaces.
"Weak" he spoke before throwing a shot back, Y/n doing the same. 
She watched as his eyes flicked over to the bar briefly before landing back on Y/n. 
"Humans just can't hold their alcohol" she spoke grinning, tracing her top lip with her index finger making sure her red lipstick was still in tact. 
She caught Bucky's eyes flicking over to the bar again, turning around to see what was catching her attention. 
Y/n's eyes widened at the brightness, squinting slightly. She could see the side profile of a woman who she assumed Bucky was staring at. She had long red hair but that wasn't what caught her attention. 
What shocked her was the white glow surrounding her. An angel. 
Y/n had always been able to identify Angels, even if they were strong Angels who could hide their auroras. 
Y/n could always see them. 
 She wondered if Bucky could tell they were Angels. The red head with her head held high, her posture up right with the utter most elegance. The man she was with turned around, Y/n having to look away for a second. 
This guy was hardly even trying to hide his aurora. It was blindingly bright creating a pain in her eyes momentarily as she blinked. But it soon died down as if the Angel had forgotten to hide it.
Now Y/n could clearly make out his face. He was tall and muscular for an angel. She barely saw many Angels around so wouldn't fully know what they stereo typically looked like anymore. 
 Angels didn't exactly come to places like this. A bar, where alcohol existed, a place where people came to dance and sin. Normally ending up having causal hook ups on the toilet cubicles. 
This mans face was what really took her a back. He held a strong expression as if he didn't want to be here. His eyebrows furrowed into a deep frown as he crossed his arms in disapproval at his surroundings. His jaw clenched showing just how sharp his jaw line was, that in itself was sinful to her. A smirk tugging at her lips. 
He was doing what every angel ever did. Looking down on others, whether he was meaning to or not was a question Y/n didn't really care about. 
 "You think shes pretty?" Y/n asked, nodding her head towards the woman at the bar. Bucky nodded. Maybe he hadn't noticed she was an Angel yet. 
 "You should go over and introduce yourself" she spoke, smirking and raising one eyebrow up at him. A look he knew very well. 
 "Maybe not" Bucky spoke. 
 "I bet you to do it" she spoke, eyes narrowing as she waited for him to accept her challenge. He had to, it's what they did. 
 "Fine" he spoke, shooting her a quick wink before heading in the direction of the woman. Y/n saw how Bucky approached the two angels at the bar. 
She could see the mans gaze follow Bucky, a glare on his features as he went to move in front of the woman. 
 Y/n quickly jumped up from her position making her way towards them and sliding herself in between where Bucky had now reached the woman and the man. She caught the eye of the bar tender ordering herself a drink. 
She could feel the stare of the man she had just cut off from helping his friend, his angel gaze burning into her skin; but she ignored him, pretending he wasn't there. Y/n could tell that he knew what she was. 
 After receiving and paying for her drink she finally turned to the side to meet his stare. 
"Can I help you?" She asked rolling her eyes. She was a demon, she had to act like one. 
"Tell your little demon friend to back off" he spoke glaring at her still. 
"And here I was thinking Angels were meant to be nice" she spoke pouting sarcastically.
"I'm willing to bet this is all a game" he spoke "so get him to leave her alone before I force him too".
"Ooooh I didn't think Angels could bet" Y/n spoke, a mischievous look on her face, eyes darkening at the sense of excitement. Steve frowned at her. Demons were manipulative. He shook his head trying to calm himself down. 
 "Well... I'm willing to bet that your friend doesn't even know my friend is a demon" she spoke. "much like in going to bet that my friend doesn't know your friends an angel".
Steve cocked one eyebrow in confusion. This is what demons do, he reminded himself. They played with the mind. 
"Stop it. I'm not betting anything." He stared at her, jaw clenching tightly. 
"You're cute for an angel" she spoke smirking up at him. She watched as he turned flustered. His cheeks heating up, stuttering over his words. 
"I know what you're trying to do" he said, gritting his teeth. 
"What do you mean?" She asked softly, pouting. 
"I- I - well you're- you-".
"Aww I've left you speechless, how cute. So... Your place or mine" she asked scanning him head to toe. Steve shuffled from foot to foot, trying to keep his balance as her words shocked him. 
"What?" He coughed clearing his throat. 
"I'm only messing, I don't even know your name... Not that that's ever stopped me before" she said flashing him an innocent smile, contradicting every word that left her mouth moments ago. 
 All that came out of his mouth was "Steve, my names- uh Steve".
"You don't sound too sure" she spoke smiling smugly.
"Well, yes, my names Steve, definitely Steve".he said more confidently.   
"That’s cute... Fits the whole innocent vibe you've got going on." She said raising her brows suggestively. 
"I've told you my name, it's only fair you tell me yours." Steve spoke, some of his original angel confidence coming back. 
"Someone knows how to talk to demons" she spoke surprised at his bargaining.  "but when has a demon ever been fair?" She questioned. 
Steve frowned, watching as she took a sip of her drink, he watched as she licked her lips... It was sinful how he saw her bite her lip so seductively, in thought before turning back to give him attention. Steve had to look away and mentally talk himself out of finding her attractive. He knew that’s just what demons did, they played on other people using seduction and emotional games. 
"Y/n" she spoke, meeting his eyes in confidence a knowing smirk on her face that made Steve frown.

Idiots~Jeremy Heere x Michael Mell x reader(platonic)
You had been best friends with Jeremy Heere and Michael Mell for longer than you could remember. But it was always only a two player game, never three. As far as you're concerned, they just keep you around for Golden Trio cosplaying.
After Jeremy got squipped and stopped hanging out with you and Michael a small, terrible part of you thought that maybe at least one of your friends would give you attention. Oh how wrong you were.
"Hey, Mell! Wanna go get a slushee?" You said as you skipped up to your hoodie clad friend's locker. When Michael just continued rummaging through his backpack without answering your question you started to wave your hand in front of his face.
"Hello! Earth to Mell." You giggled.
But the tall boy just sling his backpack over his shoulder and walked off. That's when you started to worry. 'Jesus, why does he have to have such long legs?" You asked yourself as you ran to catch up with him.
"Michael! Wait up!" You yelled. He finally came to a stop but didn't look at you.
"Michael! What the hell is up with you? Why won't you talk to me?" You asked. Finally the black haired boy turned around to face you.
"How the hell can you be so cheerful and act like nothing's wrong! Jeremy doesn't want to be our friend anymore and you don't even care!" He yelled at you.
"What do you mean?" You ask, taken aback by your friend's words.
"I mean that you don't even seem to give a damn that our best friend unfriended us! How heartless can you be, (Y/n)!"
"Jeremy left. There's not much we can do about it. I just figured that you'd still want to hang out." You said in a small, teary voice. You'd never had Michael yell at you before, and he knew that you were just a wee bit sensitive. Well he didn't get to see you cry this time. You turned away from him and ran away before the tears could fall.
As you were running away, you bumped into a tall, lanky figure. You started to apologize profusely. You shut up when you saw that you were talking to none other than Jeremy Heere.
"Damn! Sorry Jeremy!" You exclaimed as you got up and brushed yourself off.
"It's all good, (Y/N). Hey, are you ok?" He asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine, just gotta run." You said hurriedly as you ran home.
When you reached your house you went into your room and cried.
~The night of the play~
You had been squipped. It had been destroyed. And now you had lost the only hope you had for your friends to stop treating you like the third wheel on a tricycle. You got out of your costume and started to walk out towards your house all alone. Currently the only difference between you and Eponine was that you had wanted to be friend zoned. As you I wallowed in your self pity, you heard two voices call out your name from behind you.
"(Y/N)! Wait up!" One voice yelled
"We're not athletic! You know this!" Said the other voice. And so you stopped in your tracks and turned to face your panting former friends.
"What do you guys want?" You asked coldly.
"We want to apologize for being dicks to you. You've always been there for both of us and you didn't deserve this." Jeremy apologized.
"And we want you to be our friend again." Michael added.
"What? So you can ignore me again. So you can toss me aside once a cooler, smarter, taller geek comes along to fill the Hermione quota?" You replied coldly. They stared at you confusedly. So apparently it hadn't occurred to them that you felt left out sometimes.
"Damn, (Y/N). You gotta believe us. You're our best friend! Not just some cosplaying tool!" Michael exclaimed.
"We are so sorry for making you feel ignored. We need you. You're the only person that can stop us from doing dumb crap that'll get us arrested, killed or both!" Jeremy exclaimed.
"If you guys really mean it, then I guess I can forgive you." As soon as those words left your mouth, the two tall boys had you wrapped in a bone crushing hug.
"That is, you have to treat me like someone who can actually contribute to the team." You said as you pulled away from their embrace.
"Of course!" The boys said in unison. And with that, you were the one initiating the hug. Yeah, they were idiots sometimes, but they were your idiots.
