"It is unwise for any of us to go out on our own, we should be working in teams of two." Tech pointed out as you were gearing up for your mission. You were to locate and rescue a Republic senator who had been imprisoned by the Separatists and bring them back to Coruscant.

"There's an odd number, we can't go in teams of two." You pointed out. "I can handle myself, I don't want to divide your squad." 

Ever since you had teamed up with Clone Force 99, you had gotten to know them well, but you still felt like an outsider. In some ways, you were, but you never really felt like one of the team. It wasn't uncommon for you to be the odd one out for teamwork, and to you, this was no different.

In truth, you had always hoped to be partnered with Tech when you were given the briefing, but his talents were more complementary with one of his brothers. Ever since you met him, you were drawn to him, his brains, his demeanor, the way he lit up when speaking about something that interested him which ended up being nearly everything. He was handsome and skilled, and he welcomed you into the squad immediately, over the following months, you began developing feelings for him.

It never hindered your performance on missions, not only because you were never paired up with him, but you were good at compartmentalizing your feelings from your work. You wanted to get closer to him, but there never seemed to be a good time, and even if there was, you just didn't know how to bridge the gap. 

"You can join Crosshair and myself, it will be safe for you." He suggested.

"We'll cover more ground in three groups. I'll be fine, I doubt there are even going to be any platoons that far out." 

Tech shrugged, "Suit yourself. I will send you the coordinates for our rendezvous point. Keep your comm on."

You nodded and left the Marauder with your equipment. 

You had no idea that this mission would be more dangerous than many you had encountered, but Tech knew, he always did.

As you approached the outskirts of the village, you saw a clear path straight through to the compound where you suspected the senator was held. It seemed a little too good to be true, there should have been droids out here, not full platoons, but someone keeping watch. 

You drew your blaster to be safe, and crept onward, keeping an eye out for anything out of place. You could hear chatter over the comms of the others checking in with each other, and then you heard Tech say your name. 

“All clear. As I said.” 

Tech didn’t reply and you lowered the volume on your comm, still keeping it on, but not wanting to draw attention to yourself. 

You had made it about halfway through the clearing when you saw blaster fire strike about ten paces to your left. You looked up, trying to see where it came from when you saw a platoon of B1s headed your way. 

“Easy work.” You mumbled to yourself, aiming your blaster forward, shooting them as they neared you. 

It was easy work at first, but there didn’t seem to be an end to them. When you’d shoot one, two more would appear, and before you could even disable a squadron of them, a tank appeared over the horizon. 

“Kriff.” You said. 

You considered calling for backup, but your pride couldn’t handle Tech telling you that he told you so, so instead you took a grenade out of your pack and threw it toward the platoon. It didn’t seem to damage the tank, but it at least got rid of the marching battle droids.

If you had raised your comm to ask for help, you would have heard Hunter say that the target was secure, and call for everyone to return to the ship, but you were the only one who didn’t check in. 

“Tech, Crosshair, you two go find her. Wrecker and I will bring the senator back to the ship.” Hunter told them. 

They left their post and headed to your last known location.

“Why didn’t she just join our team?” Crosshair finally asked.

“I did suggest it, but due to her stubborn nature, she was certain she would be fine on her own.” Tech’s tone indicated his annoyance. He wanted to be as annoyed as he sounded, but more than anything he was worried. 

He liked having you around, you were always willing to listen to him prattle on about whatever topic was on his mind. You were kind, you treated him and his brothers well. The idea that you could be taken from them had never crossed his mind until now. Unlike you, he had no idea of the way he felt about you. He had rarely had feelings for anyone before, he didn’t know how it was supposed to feel. All he knew was that he didn’t want to sit through a briefing without you, or ramble on about some useless topic without you intently listening, and he didn’t want your last conversation to be the last conversation. He didn’t want to be right about this one thing. 

When they saw the explosion in the distance, he began to fear he was right.

The tank fired toward you, it missed its mark and you were able to avoid a direct hit, but the explosion was just a little too close. You were sent flying back from the shock wave, and you could hear buzzing in your ear before everything went black.

If you hadn't gone out on your own, someone could have been looking out for you. Tech could have been looking out for you, just as he insisted upon.

But instead, you were so certain you could handle yourself that you had gotten yourself in trouble.

You woke up in your bunk, bandaged and sore, but still alive. You didn’t know what happened, and you weren’t exactly eager to find out, but you knew you had to face everyone eventually.

Wrecker smiled at you when you walked into the cockpit, “Well look who’s finally awake!”

Crosshair didn’t say anything, instead looking at the back of Tech’s chair. 

You heard a sigh, and then Tech turned his chair around, eyeing you up and down.

“Something you need to say?” He finally asked.

“What happened with the mission?”

Hunter spoke, “Got the senator. We’ll be arriving on Coruscant shortly.”

Had you really been asleep that long?

"I told you you should not have gone on your own." It seemed Tech was tired of the small talk.

You looked at him, unsure of what he wanted you to say. “I was just doing my part of the mission, nothing I did was out of line. I didn't know there would be that many droids on the outskirts." It was a losing argument, and one you'd rather not have in the cockpit of the Marauder in front of everyone, but Tech didn't seem interested in anything but the argument.

"Precisely. If you had gone with Crosshair and I, you would not have encountered those droids. And now you are injured because of your own mistake." He had raised his voice, something you’d never heard him do.

You flinched slightly at his words but he continued, “What happened to keeping your comm on? We were trying to reach you.”

“My comm was on!” You retorted, “Just turned it down so I wouldn’t be spotted.”

“Yes well, a lot of good that did you.” He responded sarcastically. “We might not be there to save you next time. Keep that in mind before you choose to do something so reckless.” He turned away from you, facing the front again.

Your eyebrows furrowed at the back of the chair, "I didn’t ask to be saved, in fact I’d rather be back there with the droids. Maybe then-"

Hunter cut into your argument. "That is enough, both of you." 

He looked at you with his eyebrows knit together, "Go lay down, rest is going to help your injuries, arguing is not."

You opened your mouth to protest, but before you could say anything, you turned and went to your bunk.

After you were out of earshot, Hunter spoke to Tech.

"What was that about? You can't just yell at her, she got hurt, she learned her lesson already."

"As I have mentioned, she would not have-"

"Stow it. We all know what's going on between you, even if you don't. You need to figure it out before your next outburst." Hunter turned in his chair to face the front of the ship again. Tech looked on at the dancing lights of hyperspace.

Tech didn’t speak to you for the next week. The five of you were granted time off after saving the senator and you had all decided to spend it on Coruscant, but with the tension in the ship, it didn’t seem like much of a vacation.

You knew that all you had to do was apologize, but you didn’t feel like you did anything wrong. 

You knew the others were getting tired of yours and Tech’s attitudes; they all knew that it was more than just the mission. They knew about your feelings for each other, and they knew how worried Tech had been as he treated your wounds and bandaged you up. 

The only thing they could do was to force a resolution.

“Okay, we’ve had enough.” Hunter said loud enough for both you and Tech to hear at opposite ends of the ship. “We’re all going out. And that includes the two of you.” 

He slammed down a flyer he had found for a gondola ride through the upper levels, complete with all the sights Coruscant had to offer. 

“Is that really necessary?” You asked, glancing at Tech from the corner of your eye. You couldn’t think of anything less beneficial than the five of you being cramped together in a confined space you couldn’t leave.

“It isn’t a request.” Hunter informed you. 

You sighed and left the ship, followed by the others, and finally Tech, and you made your way to the park where the dock was located.

The five of you slowly arrived at the front of the queue, and when it was your turn, you were shoved into a gondola along with Tech. None of the other batchers joined you, but before you thought to exit, the vessel's door had closed and you were moving. 

You sat down on the bench across from Tech, still avoiding eye contact by looking out the window, arms crossed. 

Tech still kept his silence. Even a week later, he was still considering Hunter's words. Was there something between him and you? He knew he didn’t want to lose you, but that was completely normal, wasn't it? And even if it wasn’t normal, that doesn’t mean whatever he felt was reciprocated. But if you did return his feelings, he knew this might be one of the only chances he had to act on it, to tell you how he felt.

When the gondola had reached nearly the top of the track, the view overlooking the Jedi temple, he sighed and finally looked at you. 

"You see, I... I felt responsible for your injuries."

"You felt responsible?" You repeated after a pause. "Wasn't it my fault that I got injured? For not following your oh-so-wise plan?" 

You were acting petulant, but your emotions were still running high and the confined space didn't help.

"Well yes, if you had done as I suggested, you would have been free from injury."

"Right, because you know everything."

"Crosshair and I left with zero injuries. So yes, this I know to be fact." 

"Do you really have to say 'I told you so'? I'm sorry, is that what you want to hear? I'm sorry that I got hurt because I didn't l-"

You didn't have time to react before you felt Tech's lips upon yours. One hand was on the side of your face and the other was digging into your waist.

The vessel rocked slightly at his movement, causing you to grip onto the bench. Your eyes were still wide at the sudden contact, but when he didn't back away, you closed your eyes and deepened the kiss, moving your hands to place them on his chest. 

He stopped to take a breath, his lips still hovering tantalizingly close over yours, breathing you in, committing your perfumed smell to memory.

You closed the gap this time when you decided he had enough time to catch his breath.

His tongue darted out and swiped across your lip, asking for access to explore. You allowed it, moaning into his mouth when you felt his tongue against yours. 

In one swift movement, he sat on the bench and pulled you into his lap, resuming the kiss once you had situated yourself. 

Your hands moved up, resting on his shoulders briefly before snaking your arms around the back of his neck, holding him close. You could feel his strong hands massaging your thighs before resting on your ass, testing the waters by giving it a squeeze, you bucked your hips slightly in response. 

You could feel a coiling sensation in your stomach, a heat pulsing through you, and pooling out onto your panties. You wanted him, and you could feel based on his actions and the stiff bulge in his pants that he wanted you just as badly.

He broke the kiss, and moved his head back, causing you to chase after his kiss. He put a finger to your lips and smirked.

"You must be patient, the gondola ride is near the end of its course, and I still have more to say about the mission." 

You frowned in protest, feeling all that heat suddenly dissipate as he gently pushed you off of him.

"Not to worry, the Marauder is nearby, no one else will be there and we can continue our conversation there, if that is what you want."

You nodded in agreement.

"I apologize, but I will need to hear an answer before I can comply."

"Yes, I want that." You said too quickly, trying and failing to not sound too desperate.

He smirked again. "Good girl. You and I still have much to discuss."

You whined slightly at his praise, then waited for the door to open as you neared the dock.

After disembarking, Tech grabbed your hand, pushing past the people exiting their respective vessels. Hunter, Wrecker, and Crosshair were nearby, but you didn't see them as Tech ushered you back toward the landing port.

"I guess they finally talked about it." Wrecker had said, staring wide-eyed after you two.

"We should probably give them some privacy so they can talk more." Hunter shook his head, smirking toward the ground.

"Just as long as they don't talk in my bunk." Crosshair said as he crossed his arms.

The door to the Marauder wooshed open, and the two of you hurried on board. Tech was back on you before it could close again.

He pushed you back into the wall, pinning you there as he kissed you. Placing hot kisses on your lips, your cheek, your jaw, your neck, anywhere he could.

"Do you realize how worried I was when I saw you?" He asked between kisses. "When I heard the explosion, when I rushed over only to find your body on the ground?"

He stopped kissing you and looked into your eyes, "I thought I lost you before you were even mine to lose."

"Tech.." You tried to move a hand from his grip to place it on his face, but he tightened his hold on it. “I’m sorry.”

“I do not want your apologies.” He told you, “I want you by my side, I want you to be safe. I…” He kissed you again, this time more roughly, eliciting a moan from you again. “I want you to be mine.”

Behind his goggles, his pupils were dilated, his eyes half-lidded.

The coiling feeling returned. Your stomach was in knots. You had never seen Tech like this before, you hadn’t seen him behave so possessively, and you wanted to see more of it.

"Then make me yours." You said, only a whisper. “I want to be yours.”

His mouth found yours again, not bothering to ask you to give his tongue space to enter but instead forcing it past your lips. His knee slotted itself between your legs, close enough to tease you, but not close enough to give you friction where you desired it most. You bucked your hips trying to find it on your own, and he smiled into the kiss.

"What do you want, mesh’la?" He asked you.

You bucked again in response. He removed one hand from yours and brought it down, pushing your hips back against the wall so you couldn't move them again.

"I told you, I need to hear your words. Tell me what you want."

"I want you. I-I need you."

"Then I should not keep you waiting."

He let go of your hip, and with the hand that was still holding yours above you, he guided you over toward the console.

"Here?" You asked.

"Well, of course." He guided your hips downward so that you were seated. "I cannot help but think about how pretty you would look while I fucked you right on the console of my ship."

You let out an involuntary moan at just his words alone.

He caressed the side of your face, and with a feather-light stroke across your jaw, he tilted your chin up to meet your gaze. Despite his words just a moment ago, he placed a gentle kiss on your lips once more, and his hand slowly traveled down your neck, over your breast, down your stomach, and rested at the hem of your shirt.

He looked into your eyes, silently asking for permission. You nodded eagerly and he pulled your shirt up over your head. He tossed it onto the seat behind him and then looked at you, admiring the newly uncovered parts of you.

"Beautiful." He whispered. Out of everything done so far, this one word was enough to make you blush, you tried to turn your head away but he stopped you.

Leaning down over you, he placed a kiss on your shoulder, then your collarbone, trailing down to your breasts, still obstructed by your bra. His lips kissed the top of one, while his hand held the other over the fabric. You reached behind your back and unclasped it, giving him access to another part of you where you wanted to feel his touch.

He tutted quietly. "I could have done that myself."

You rolled your eyes jokingly and he resumed allowing his lips to explore your skin, now alternating between kissing and sucking. And where his lips weren't, his hands were. Squeezing the flesh, thumbing over your nipple while his mouth worked on the other.

Soon, he continued his exploration, and as he neared your stomach, he lowered himself down until he was kneeling between your thighs.

His gaze was hungry as it focused on your center, his lips formed a tight line, holding his mouth closed to prevent his tongue from hanging out.

His hands were on your knees, he trailed them up your thighs, stopping at the waistband of your pants, once again looking up at you to ask your permission. You situated yourself to make it easier for him to remove them, and soon they too were discarded, thrown back toward the pilot chair. His hands were back on your thighs, prodding the soft skin, placing hot, open-mouthed kisses on each of them, sucking them enough to leave marks.

You whined, both at the sensation of him marking your legs, but also at the lack of sensation where you really wanted him to be.

He smirked up at you, and then spread your legs further apart, slowly moving his face toward your aching cunt. He could see how turned on you were, and he licked his lips before speaking.

"Stars, you appear to be soaked."

"Mmhm." Was all you could manage, all your attention was on the fact that he was inches away from giving you the friction you needed.

"Cyar'ika.." He scolded. "Words. You need something of me, what is it?"

"I... I just need you, I need your mouth, your fingers, your cock, I-I need to feel you." Your desperate words turned his gaze dark.

"Good girl, telling me everything you want," his praise caused you to squirm, trying to close your thighs just to feel friction, but he held them open.

"You enjoy it when I call you that?"

"Gods, yes." You moaned.

He hummed in response, keeping that knowledge filed away.

He finally pressed his face forward, nose rubbing against your clothed pussy. You whined in response. He dragged the tip of his nose upward, knowing exactly where you wanted to be touched, and he hooked his fingers around the waistband of your panties, relishing in your whines and pleas for him to finally take them off of you, and soon he relented, letting them join the rest of your clothes before he dove in.

He ate you like a man starved, licking you through your folds, tasting as much of you as he could.

"G-ah, fuck, Tech," you cried out, your hands reaching for his hair. The feeling of your hands gripping his hair causing him to groan.

His lips wrapped around your clit, alternating between sucking it and circling his tongue around it. He could feel you squirming at his touch and he reached one hand up, resting it on your hips, hoping to help anchor your.

With his other hand, he circled your entrance, teasing you, making you beg him to touch you before he obliged.

He slid one long finger into you as far as he could, pressing against the spongy walls, exactly where you needed to feel him.

He let go of your clit and let his tongue run up and down your folds, getting another taste of your juices.

"M-mmo-" You began to say, being cut off by the feeling of his tongue making another swipe up.

"My apologies, you will have to repeat yourself." He looked up at you, his face slick with your arousal.

"More, I need more."

He raised an eyebrow and plunged another finger into you. Your head rolled back and you cried out.

"Is that what you wanted?"

"Yes!"

Your grip tightened on his hair, pulling his face back into you. His hot breath fanned against your cunt and you sighed in contentment.

"Gods, you are a needy thing." His purred, his voice vibrated against you as he attached himself to your clit again.

He sucked on you while his fingers made scissor patterns inside you, all the while you could feel the coil start to tighten.

"I'm close-" You cried out. He didn't change anything about his rhythm. He strived to get you there, he was eager to please you after he had been so harsh toward you earlier. His tongue circled your clit and he could feel you pulsing around his fingers.

You could feel the heat growing in your stomach, your moans got louder as you got closer. He slid his fingers out, and before you could complain about the loss, you felt his tongue swiping up and down before dipping inside you. His fingers resumed drawing circles on your clit as he drank from you.

Your thighs clenched together, forcing him to stay exactly where he was, you muttered out a string of curses as the coil finally snapped and you cried his name as you came undone. He kept lapping at you until you were through.

You released your hold on his hair and he stood back up.

"You taste magnificent," He smirked, licking your arousal off his fingers before his mouth found yours again. You could taste yourself on his tongue as he leaned you back onto the console. You shuddered when you felt his stiffened cock press against you. His hands began grabbing at your breasts and your arms wrapped around his neck pulling him in.

"You are perfect." He said as he began kissing every piece of you he could. He locked onto your neck, he kissed you fervently, then gently bit down, giving you a mark that would be difficult to hide from the others, not that they didn’t already have an idea of what was going on here. But that’s what Tech wanted, he wanted to show everyone that you were his. 

"Tech.." You said quietly,

"Mm?"

"I want to see you." You pushed yourself back up onto your elbows and looked into his eyes.

For a moment, just for a moment, he froze, but soon enough, his hands moved to the fastener on his pants.

"Let me do that."

He smirked and helped you off the console gently.

You worked on the buttons on his shirt first, unbuttoning them slowly, placing gentle kisses on his chest as each loose button reveals it to you.

He tilted your chin up and leaned in for a kiss, pressing against you. You could feel his stiff bulge press into you again and your hands moved faster to unbutton his shirt.

You pushed it off his shoulders when it's finally unbuttoned, and you looked at his toned chest. You knew he'd be strong but it was still a surprise to you. Your fingers danced across his torso, feeling the muscles under his smooth skin, before finally landing on the fastener of his pants.

You look up at him, just as he did for you, asking for his permission. He pressed his forehead against yours in response, you smiled and kissed his lips, then moved to undo the fastening. He helped you to slide his pants off, and he stepped out of them, kicking them off to the side.

You could see the outline of his cock much clearer against his briefs and you could feel your mouth water, you clenched your thighs together, not wanting to wait to feel it inside of you. He raised an eyebrow at you.

"You desire it so badly?" He asked you, forcing your gaze away from it and back up to him.

You nod quickly, "Yes."

He smiled then rutted his hips against you, "Then please, continue."

Your hands moved to the waistband of his briefs, he moved his lips to yours again and you returned the kiss before kissing along his jaw, then his neck. You peeled the waistband down and he hissed as his briefs grazed across his cock. They had soon joined the rest of the clothes and you looked down.

You bit your bottom lip and you started to lower yourself down but he stopped you. You gave him a confused look, and he smirked.

"There will be plenty of time for that at a later time. But for now,"

He continued by guiding you back onto the console, laying your back down and he stood between your legs with his hands on your thighs.

"Are you comfortable?" He asked.

"Yes," you assured him.

You felt his cock rub against your folds, before he positioned himself at your entrance.

"Ready?" He asked.

You bucked your hips in response and he pushed himself in without another word.

You arched your back as you felt him stretch you open, if there was any pain, it quickly turned into pleasure as he buried himself in you inch by inch.

When he was fully sheathed, he gave you a moment to adjust before he started to move. He started out slow, he made sure that you were used to the feeling of his thrusts before he picked up the pace.

"Gods, you are taking me so well, cyar'ika."

You replied with a moan. You bucked your hips to meet his pace and he smirked.

"Is there something you want?"

"Mmm p-please, go fas-faster" you answered between thrusts.

"Very well," He obliged, his hands gripped onto your thighs and he buried himself again, quickening his pace at your request. He looked at you as you took his cock, the way your back arched, how your tits bounced with each thrust, the way your face contorted in pleasure.

He tightened his grip on your thighs, you took that as a hint to wrap your legs around his waist and he moaned in response, feeling himself go even deeper inside you.

"You are so perfect, such a good girl for me." Your walls clenched around his cock at his praise.

He thrusted into you harder wanting to explore the new angle he was permitted.

“Fu-uck,” you whined.

"Is this okay?" He asked, unsure of if he was hurting you.

"Gods, yes!"

He set a brutal pace, but you bucked your hips, meeting his thrusts each time.

Tech could feel himself nearing his climax, his pace started to become slightly more erratic. He slid one hand down your thigh toward your center. He circled your clit with his thumb, intending on sending you over the edge with him.

Your walls clenched around him again at the contact. You were getting close again. Your moans grew louder as you neared the edge.

"That's it," He said, he wanted to feel you come undone again. He continued circling your clit as he thrusted into you. "Be a good girl and come for me once more, come on my cock."

Your second orgasm crashed over you without as much of a warning as the first, your legs tightened around him, he slowed his thrusts down, helping you through it, and he moaned at how your walls constricted him. He knew he wasn't going to last much longer.

"Wh.. Where do you want me?" He asked.

"In-inside," you said, still overcoming the last of the waves of pleasure.

He didn't ask any further questions, he buried himself as far as he could before he stilled, his cock twitching inside you as he painted your walls with hot ropes of his seed.

He moaned out your name as he finished, feeling himself soften inside of you, he pulled himself out of you and you pushed yourself up, wrapping your arms around his neck, kissing his lips, your tongue darting into his mouth.

He returned the kiss, holding you close to him, and his hands traveled across your thighs, before lifting you up from the console.

“I love you.” You told him, resting your head on his shoulder as he held you. “I think I always have, but… In case it still wasn’t obvious.”

He smiled and carried you toward the refresher, sitting you down on the counter when you arrived, giving you a chaste kiss on the lips. “Perhaps it was not obvious over the last week, but now, I would have more questions if you did not.” He smiled at you, “I love you too. But next time, if I ask you to join me on a mission instead of going off on your own, please listen to me.”

“But look where it brought us.” You replied with a smirk.

“Perhaps that is true, but for your own information, you do not need to nearly get yourself killed in order for me to fuck you. You could have just asked.”

He grabbed a towel before he quickly left to retrieve your clothes and clean off the console. Tech soon returned to you and turned the water on, helping you off the counter and guiding you to the shower where he joined you. It didn’t take long for his lips to be on you once again. 

While it was your stubbornness that led you to this point in the first place, you were suddenly very eager to see what would happen on the next mission, should you and Tech finally be paired together.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: This took me almost a year to write and four months to edit/proof. Each chapter is prefaced with specific tags and (where necessary) warnings, plus word counts. End notes contain translations and comments… this baby is thoroughly researched, so I’m sharing context where appropriate. I’ve also added definitions of in-universe terms so people less familiar with the franchise won’t be left wondering what the hell certain words or references mean. This is a slow burn (adult themes), and although the explicit content only occurs in the latter half, when it does, it warrants the ‘E’ rating. Basically, the first half is a love story, and the second half gets spicy. I hope you enjoy it!

@burntheedges has written a spectacular little drabble detailing what Din was up to during the paragraph break near the end of chapter 1 (*SPOILERS* you don’t find this out until chapter 27).

@djarin-desires has created some awesome AI images of a few scenes using Midjourney.

I spent a stupid amount of money on the Hot Toys official Din Djarin action figure, simply so I could photograph him in poses from my fic 🤷🏼‍♀️ This is just a taster of what’s to come, but here he is offering to help Reader climb onto the speeder in chapter 8.

🧡💚 Thank you for reading! 💚🧡

bjyx in the eyes of passer-by is really good. ❤️💚

i’ve been wanting to share this since the weekend but it’s too long and i needed more time. lol. none of this is new but this can be taken as some convincing arguments about the cp and why it could be real. allegedly from non-fans who casually observes the fandom and what we are up to.

transcript screenshots taken from 泡沫爱恋的晴空 ; I have added commentary and links to some points to better explain. enjoy. 🍵

First of all, I think it is true for the following reasons:

1. Timeline. Since filming in 2018, various fake materials have emerged one after another. We don’t care whether the fake material is genuine or not, but I think the hammer can be connected, which is good. The false information about the incident came out, and then things fell into place, which I think is amazing It’s a strange thing, and some things that happened in 18 and 19 years have now been hammered. Of course you can call it a coincidence if you like.

*** This pertains to the 49 fakes that turned out to mostly be true. Also the fake contributions of their conversations & incidents on set that we all thought weren’t true until the unofficial videos came out. If this was a boy-girl pairing, a single unverified rumor will blow up but with bjyx you have tons and some people are still meh. Lol.

2. Same Style. The two of them share too many styles. First of all, the clothes, from big brands to small ones. Various brands, from clothes to pants to shoes to accessories, there are countless similar styles. The second time was the shooting scene between the staff and some of the staff who had worked together overlapped. Yes, it can be seen from the post-production period that there is also an advertisement for both of them. It was shot in the same place, which is also very magical, in the entertainment industry. It's such a big deal. Do you think there's such a thing as matching clothes, teams and locations? There must be, but I don’t dare to say whether it happens as often as the two of them do. Yes, this is a coincidence.

*** we have an extensive matching clothes collection but i guess the biggest is XZ’s personal style change since he met WYB. Also the overlapping staff/people related work— I talked about an instance of that here.

3. Interaction in the studio. The publicity and distribution of the studios of both parties always meet perfectly. Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo have so many endorsements, so it’s amazing that there are so many works and programs that I haven’t encountered before, and the way they talk, the way they edits the video, the fonts they use… Some similarities can be seen in these pictures, which is a coincidence and very disturbing.

*** i don’t think this needs further explanation. A lot of us notice this. even how their projects don’t (very rarely ) coincide.

4. Some inexplicable stuck points and dynamics between the two sides. This is very magical, the 24-hour rule of Boxiao Circle means that no matter what the reason, one party after posting the news, there will always be another news posted by the other party.

5. Some specific examples. One is Wang Yibo’s Himalaya account. The case of Ru Meng and Beiyang corpse recovery, first of all, it is definitely not Wang Yibo himself. Listen, that's for sure. It can also be determined that Xiao Zhan is interested in Rumeng and Beiyang. There is also the easter egg of Wang Yibo and YBO’s video. We won’t say that he’s not like Wang Yibo, but he really looks like Xiao Zhan. The jawbone is simply amazing. Of course you can also say it’s a coincidence.

There is another one who beats me. It’s the one where the rehearsal time is hidden. Behind Wang Yibo is Xiao Zhan’s rehearsal. Above there is only Wang Yibo's name. Everyone scolded Wang Yibo for acting like a big name. He didn’t respond and we didn’t know it was Xiao Zhan until that night. I just want to say that if Wang Yibo and Xiao Zhan are fake, the organizer will change the time. this rehearsal time must be negotiated with the artist. Yes, there is no need for him to get involved, he should stay far away at this time. I don't think this is a coincidence.

*** these are very popular CPN so I think alot of us know this. Especially Himalaya/Ximalaya ( I talked about this in detail ; Parts 1-4 / Part 5 ) && WYB hiding XZ’s schedule is very real but both their fans refuse to acknowledge.

6. This is about Bojun Yixiao Rice Circle. Bojun YixiaoCircle and Chen Qing Ling frequently becomes a hotly searched event. Today is April 16, 2022, today the fourth anniversary of Chen Qing Ling was on the hot search, and the names of Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo were also on the list . Let’s not talk about anything else, just take the current situation of Brother Zhan and Yibo. We wouldn’t say it’s particularly popular, but it’s still quite popular. At this time, there is no need for two people to tie up and search together. Behind these two people, they all have professional teams, and now Fanfan is linked to Bojun Yixiao and Aling has become a hot search topic. No matter what fans think, in the eyes of passers-by, if the names of Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo are linked together, the team should be able to remove the host search. The last hot search is equivalent to reminding Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo once again, but judging from the frequency of related hot searches this year, the two parties are together and their team is laissez-faire. This will definitely consolidate CP fans, and I feel that both parties have no intention of wanting to be untied. Judging from their current popularity, I feel like this is a disadvantage. So is it possible that it’s just in case something happens? It will not be made public, but if it is discovered one day, there will be some people who are willing to be with them, at least they feel clear about it and have nothing to hide or cheat them.

To sum up, I think it is true. Of course this is all my personal opinion.

PS: Of course there are many more points, more than this.

**** OP’s sample for hs is 2022, but even this year 2023, they had a couple of hs with their names together and not taken down.

========

Just believe it. Strictly speaking, I am not a CP fan of the two. A more appropriate positioning is for passers-by CP fans, who mainly see the candy of two people is good to drink. When I got high, I calmed down and analyzed objectively.

For a moment, I feel that all kinds of hammers can only point to two possibilities:

1. The two of them are real.

2. The team is still bundled for hype. I don’t quite agree with one party’s deliberate attempts. The other party is interested in this term. After all, if one of the parties is unwilling, we will not let all kinds of public opinions ferment online.

Let’s talk about the first possibility first: true. In fact, there is no need to pass this possibility No need to go into details, there are too many different kinds of hammers. Some people find it far-fetched, such as stuck points. Put it aside, I think the previous little prince and the ideal life drawing , the heart print on wyb’s palm, and the ear clip that xz wears recently, Teacher Lin Hai’s Peppa Pig, etc.,If you take it out one by one, it can be said to be a coincidence. Put them together, I think it’s hard to call it as a coincidence.

Under this possibility, I think their behavior is understandable. I will do my best to acknowledge you in front of everyone, without being blatant so I secretly poked and sprinkled sugar. And after 2020, , it was obvious that they didn’t want to define themselves as cql’s CP position. In this case, it is possible to interact in various ways across the air. I think it is a real possibility. It's indeed bigger.

1. Why are they attracted to each other?

Wang Xiaobao, it is estimated that children lack the company and isolation of their parents during childhood. Due to modern education and upbringing, or perhaps due to innate personality, the child is somewhat autistic. He also likes to talk to himself alone. He leaves home as a young man and lives in a high-intensity confinement under closed training, there is almost no rebellious period of youth and the self-conception of society and parents.

The process of growing up was full of doubts and conflicts, so he retained the childishness and innocence in himself. The instinctive and intuitive side forms what I consider to be a dull yet sensitive and spontaneous person. The current appearance of someone who is trusting but has low self-esteem, is covered in armor but has a soft heart. No matter how others laugh at the "typos", Jiuluoyu "got fat and lost weight" I scoff at this kind of thing! I like this kid’s thoughts to be pure and true. I hope Wang Xiaobao doesn’t have to care about that at all and can go his own way.

Let others talk! I hope this child will improve as he grows older and more experienced. Cultivate a strong heart and face the world more and more calmly without malice and harm.

Xiao Zhan, complete systematic education, complete social animal experience. I predict this kid had a very high emotional intelligence when he was in school, and he was the kind of person who had the best interpersonal relationships in the class. He played the role of a very docile and obedient student in the teacher’s mind, but I personally feel that this meekness and obedience is actually due to long-term family education and school. The "last resort and pretense" under the suppression of education are actually independent at heart. Do, doubt and despise authority (bringing the fierce gene of Chongqing people):

Because with the EQ and IQ he is showing now, he should actually be,,At that time, he could get into a school that was much better than the one he got into! (Don’t ask why. What, this is a topic of educational psychology, a few thousand words are omitted here)

Of course, if that were the case, there would be no actor fees as we see now. Yes, haha. In fact, it is precisely this character background that can support him. At the age of 24, he actually moved to the entertainment industry and survived 227! Just focus on these two points, I admire him very much! There is something about him that is both otherworldly and full of human smoke. The breath of fire has the smell of randomly switching between being born in this world and entering this world. What I saw was not an interesting soul, but a smooth, sophisticated and naive heart. Romantic, wild and unrestrained yet clear and pure soul!

Therefore, my personal feeling is: the mutual attraction between them is two. The approach of the unruly soul, the wild growth of two hearts, the pure nature of souls that have found a completely peaceful and peaceful destination in each other;

This kind of luck is unfathomable and unexpected.

========

The commercial value of CPF.

1. Number of fans. I have observed the ch data from mid-September to October 7th, Extract gg, dd, bjyx, and popular male stars at the same time node A, Data analysis of popular male star B. Both A and B are currently on the air. It is a popular drama and is recognized for its good reputation and excellent acting skills. The data are gg>dd>bjyx>A>B, where bjyx=4~5A(B),gg~ 3bjyx, dd~2bjyx, it can be seen that bjyx’s live powder data can indeed be beaten. On the 5th, Wyb's Xiaoxiang's top 1 and 2 hot reviews were both cpf, and bjyx's daily list averaged 1- 2 can reflect the data situation from the side. The number of active fans of bjyx is indeed not high.

2. Economic chain. Needless to say, Boxiao Cotton Doll is very popular in the circle. Various offline exhibitions, pbs, and outputs, including Bilibili and short videos to support. How many blog owners, video accounts, and marketing accounts do you have? Stand up for every charity event and such generous support as charity can reflect the actual benefits. It’s impressive. For GG’s birthday on the 5th, a single charity donation from a single website has 6 number of digits, last year more than 20 Hope Primary Schools were built.

The most important thing is that there is a secret love between the two. The words seem to be more topical when put openly, unless their team are smart enough to assess the public's psychology in advance, and feel that he can design a secret poke of candies that are easier to eat and can increase fans more deliberately. In this kind of clever grouping, If you are deceived during team operation, you can only admit defeat. There were two other people participating in the event. This kind of things is often used. Some people say that this is a script. I admit it. They can act, so the real point of my addiction is not this, but the two of them. Watching the other person interact with other people makes him look bad. A dark-faced reaction is more likely to be reflect inner unhappiness, I think everyone can relate to this. Recalling the dark moments in my life, I found it difficult to act and control myself. If this is really a performance, then I think the two of them deserve two Oscars, so natural.

No matter what, people in the entertainment industry must be surfing experts. I don’t believe them that they don’t know that CP consumption is becoming popular online, but now we are deliberately adding insult to injury. I can only think of the above two possibilities, and comparing the two, I prefer the first.

========

Why are they holding on to such a large CP?

Don't tell me that it's a one-sided affair or a scam, as long as anyone has a brain, no one would say that! Two years ago from 227 to now, between the two of them — how much has the number of cp followers increased in Weibo’s super chat alone? If someone did research can be done with statistics.

I’ve read a lot of Zhihu “papers” analyzing the pros and cons of maintaining CP.

I just want to discuss their purpose of doing this.

In fact, since they are out of business, they can openly share their fans and public opinions. In the direction of socialist brotherhood, this is the easiest and most important thing to do. A lucky path, or simply do nothing. After a few years, they can become naturally quiet. But they don't. So far, they still have to use hammers from time to time. I feel like they didn't just smash it with a hammer.I'm holding an axe and cutting through the thorns.

Maintaining such a large CPF is tantamount to carrying a nuclear bomb on its back.

Okay, what is their motivation and purpose for doing this? Everyone has a purpose in doing things!

Is it possible that the traffic is generated just to maintain the dispute between the three fans? It’s possible, because I’ve never been afraid to speculate on capital with the worst possible intentions. After all, they are in the entertainment industry and have to discuss business.

Or do you want to get everyone’s blessing?

-END.

John came home from work late. It's been a tough and long day and he was looking forward to a long shower, putting his feet up and possibly some scotch.

But he came home to pictures of crime victims on their wall. His flatmate, all dramatic sleeping gown and dissheveled hair, was pacing in front of it.

"Oh, John!", the detective exclaimed delighted. "You're home. That's good. You can look at these and help with my investigation. Murder victims. Killed with an apparent liking of bloodshed. Come. Look."

The doctor, who had actually seen enough injuries today, sighed, dropped his bag and walked over to Sherlock.

When he got closer, he blinked one, two times. He squinted then sighed again. It's been a long day and the lighting was horrible: he'd have to get his glasses.

"Hold on." Quickly he got his varifocal glasses and stepped back, next to Sherlock's side. crossing his arms.

Finally he could see the victims and their injuries clearly. "Alright. So some psycho likes sawing, huh?", John started, trying to ease the view with a bit of bad humour. Sherlock just stared at him.

"Somebody should tell them they could use a log instead...", John mumbled sniffishly, while looking at the photographs. When he felt Sherlock's gaze at him, he turned towards him, his arms still crossed. "What? Why are you staring at me?"

"Since when do you have those?", Sherlock asked incredulously

"What? My glasses? About two months n- oi!"

Sherlock had picked his glasses of his nose and inspected them. Looking through them, turning them around...

"What are you doing, Sherlo-"

"Since when do you have them? Of course I noticed your eyesight had declined but I thought you'd be too proud to-"

John gaped. "Proud?! Me?! Have you even met...", the doctor stopped midsentence. "...yourself?", he finished much more quietly.

Sherlock had put on the glasses and squinted his eyes; alternately closing one eye then the other. John felt his blood rush into his face, he looked away, cleared his throat.

Sherlock arched an eyebrow at John. "You like them on me?"

John snorted, waved with his hand, looked at the ceiling. "No, I look better with them."

"Usually I'd agree but what about this then.", Sherlock poked his cheek.

"Did you just poke my cheek?", John said eyes wide and mouth slightly open.

Sherlock smirked, then he bowed down and placed his lips on the doctor's cheek.

John's jaw dropped even further... Then he said, "Oh, you bastard.", grabbed a handful of curls, pulled Sherlock down and kissed him. His tongue asking for entry and Sherlock granting him without hesitation.

"At least do it right.", he whispered against Sherlock's lips.

"Show me again, then", Sherlock whispered back.

Hi! I love your Loki series and one shots💚💚

Can I request a Loki x villain!Reader. Like, she do some shity things and the avenger defeat her, but her powers are kinda a mystery so them decided to secured her in the compound for study her powers (like something to do with darkness or fire). Loki started to "visite" her. She's mean, egocentric, and gets under his skin. But at the same time he is amazed of her.

Just Breathe - Chapter 1

Just Breathe Masterlist Complete Masterlist

A/N: Sorry, Nonny, I got carried away and made this into a series. I'm sorry I made you wait too long. I know you requested this a while ago. So, thank you for being so patient with me. I hope you like it. Edit: Thanks to Inkywinds on AO3 for the German translations. Pairing: Loki x Female Villain Reader Word Count: under 3k Warnings: Angst, history of trauma, some cursing, mild violence, more of my bad translations Dividers by: @firefly-graphics

Loki watched through the monitors as they brought you in. They secured your arms in weighted metal cuffs that went straight up to your elbows, constricting your wrists as well as your hands. You walked in with no less than ten SHIELD agents accompanying you. You looked like a maiden sacrifice being led to her fate.

“Who is that delectable creature?” Loki asked with a growing smirk.

“She calls herself Zephyr,” Thor answered watching Loki to the side of his eyes. “She’s been setting fire to hidden SHIELD facilities up and down the eastern seaboard. Killed 20 people, and injured 50. She’s targeting your record.” Thor laid his hand on Loki’s shoulder. “She threatened to blow up the whole site, but we can’t find any explosives. Leave it to you to be attracted to the outlaws,” Thor whispered with a chuckle. Loki just raised an eyebrow at him and dusted his shoulder off where Thor had patted him.

“We need to know how her powers work. Before she does it again,” Rogers added. “FRIDAY is running a background check on her as we speak to give us any clues. Wanda is still on her honeymoon with Vis. I don’t want to contact her unless absolutely necessary. Do you think you can get into her head? See her memories?” He asked Loki.

“I can try,” Loki answered, trying to hide his elation.

They led you to a cylindrical cell in the lower levels of the building. It was made out of indestructible glass and light. You couldn’t escape the watchful eyes of the cameras or the glaring reflection of yourself.

You had formed dark circles under your eyes. Your hair was knotted and singed at the ends. You looked like you hadn’t eaten in days. They took the manacles off of you, leaving welts below your elbows.

If only they knew. It wouldn’t have mattered if they bound your whole body. You’d still be able to set fire with or without your hands.

The first time you used your powers, was when you were eight. You set fire to your shared bedroom and nearly killed your baby brother. You didn’t need your hands then. You just simply stopped breathing.

Your parents, being the doctrinal extremists they were, had decided that eight years of loving a child was not enough to protect said child. So they had abandoned you to a research facility in upstate New York. Fear and loathing in their eyes. They had solemnly believed that they were looking into the eyes of the devil herself when they looked at you.

So, you became one.

A figure stepped into your reflection, interrupting your thoughts down memory lane. You instantly knew who he was. His long face and high cheekbones were more prominent in person. His long dark curls were secured in a half-ponytail. The sleeves on his dress shirt were rolled halfway up, exposing the veins in his arms. He carried a small plate with a sandwich and a bottle of water.

“It’s peanut butter and jelly.” He said to you, holding the plate up to the glass for you to inspect it. “I was told, it’s a favorite amongst you mortals here in this region.”

“I’m not hungry.” You snapped at him.

“Oh no darling, this is for me.” He chuckled. “I hadn’t eaten lunch yet. I was about to until you had to pick this time to come in with your retinue.” He grabbed the nearest chair and sat down on it, backwards. His legs spread apart as he straddled the chair facing you.

He took a bite of his sandwich, eyeing you. You paced back and forth in your cell. Your eyes darted between the man and the sandwich he devoured. You really hadn’t eaten in days. You couldn’t help the growling complaint of your stomach as you watched him demolish it bite after bite.

When he finished, he licked the jam off his fingers and proceeded to drink half of the water bottle. You could see his Adam’s apple bob with every chug of water he swallowed. You crossed your arms and narrowed your eyes at him.

“Oh, I’m sorry. How rude of me…” He said to you, acknowledging your hungry stare.

“Finally! What’s a girl gotta do to get a meal around here?”

“…I didn’t introduce myself. I am Loki, Prince of Asgard. The rightful heir of Jotunheim. Odins…”

“OH MY GOD! Do you come with an off button? I know who you are!” you growled, matching the energy of your empty stomach.

“So feisty! You know my name, but I don’t know yours.” Loki beamed.

“Does it matter?” you rolled your eyes.

“Yes. I’d like to know the name of the person whose head I’ll be rummaging through.” He said.

A new sense of panic trickled through you, but you refuse to show him the effect he had on you. He stood up from his chair. His long legs unmount the seat. He stopped right in front of your cell, his hands in his pockets, staring you down.

His gaze felt intrusive and speculating. You could see his smile, so sweetly towards you, and a glint in his eyes. How is that possible? That shit only happens in books, right? You walked up to him slowly, pressing yourself up against the glass. Your wrists cross over, above your head.

“Why don’t you come in here then? I’ll let you rummage all you want.” You tried to say in the most seductive way you could.

“Oh, I won’t do it right now, darling. You’re too guarded and wild. Plus...” Loki knocked on the glass causing you to cover your ears from the loud echo. “It’s no fun being in there. I would know.”

He started to walk away. “When you’re ready, dear. Do call for me.” He saluted and walked off. You continued to growl at him as he retreated. You slammed your fist against the hard glass trying to make a dent, knowing it wouldn’t have mattered.

You turned, leaning against the blue-tinged glass, and slid yourself down onto the floor of the cell. That’s when you noticed a small plate in the center of the chamber with a full sandwich, and a bottle of water.

Loki came to visit you that night, unbeknownst to you. You had fallen asleep on the floor of the cell. You used your jacket as a pillow, leaving you to weather the cold of the basement. He conjured a blanket over your shivering figure and he saw you instantly relax into a fit-less sleep.

 He had already seen inside your thoughts earlier that day but didn’t lead on. There was so much heartache and pain. Trifling through your memories had triggered his own childhood recollections. It also triggered some protective instinct of his that he didn’t know existed.

Maybe he just felt a kindred spirit with you. That perhaps you would understand what it was like. Because he certainly understood the suffering you were going through now. He tried one more time.

He let his invisible strings find their way inside the cell. Crawling slowly over the floor, then into your temples.

You must’ve been eight or nine. You were so small, but you had the same shade of hair, the same intelligent eyes. Loki looked around and saw that he was in a nursery, perhaps your bedroom. He could hear an argument in the background happening somewhere inside the house. You sat on your bed as your baby sibling started crying in his crib from the loud argument outside the bedroom doors.

You covered your ears. It was too loud. You rocked your tiny self, back and forth. Loki saw you take in a deep breath and shut your eyes. That’s when the first flicker of flames appeared.

It started with the bedsheets you were on. Then it traveled to the curtains. Pretty soon the whole room was engulfed. Your parents entered the room alarmed. Your mother grabbed your brother from his crib and then tried to grab you. “Y/N!” She yelled. But you were surrounded by flames. Your father came back with an extinguisher, dousing the room with white foam.

The flames had receded enough for your father to grab you from your bed and haul you out.

Loki jumped out of your head as you started to stir awake. You sat up, looking around the brightly lit room outside your cell, not seeing anyone or anything. Except for the chair that Loki was sitting in earlier. Vacant. You went back to sleep, pulling the blanket over your shoulders.

Blanket?!

You recalled the dream you had just woken up from. Loki was there in your dream, reliving the fateful night you triggered your powers. Now looking down at the conjured blanket on you, could he have been here? Could he have gone into your thoughts, unguarded? Just like he said he would? You threw the blanket across your cell and stayed up all night.

The next day, Loki came in with two sandwiches on a plate. “Let me guess, they’re both for you? You little glutton,” you asked eyeing the plate.

“No, darling. One’s for you. I wouldn’t be that heartless.” He splayed his hand and the other sandwich appeared inside your chamber with a bottle of water. “I figured we could have lunch together.”

“Usually, you take the person to lunch before you intrude on their thoughts.”

“I was not aware you knew I had done it.”

“Does it make you feel better? Does it make it any more moral? Now that you’ve fed me?”

“No. Not really. But innocent lives are getting hurt-”

“Innocent, my ass!” you chided.

“And an amazing ass it is. But pray, tell, what exactly makes them not so innocent?” Loki asked.

You raised your eyebrows at him. Then rolled your eyes. “You have got to be kidding me! That’s all you people ever see, isn’t it? The damsel in distress. Surely, we can save her. Well, listen up ‘Lucky Charms.’ I’ve been way past saving. Where were the Avengers twenty years ago when I nearly burnt my house down? Where were you guys when my own parents sold me to the nearest SHIELD facility for research? Where were my heroes, huh?” you yelled out to him, tossing the sandwich against the glass wall.

“I wasn’t here twenty years ago. But we’re here now, Y/N.”

“Don’t you ever call me that again!”

“It’s your name isn’t it?”

“It’s what those hypocritical excuse-for-a-parents called me. I refuse to answer to it!”

“Ok. Zephyr it is. Zephyr. Zep. Phyr? Zee? Can I call you Zee?” Loki said, trying your name. Trying to taste it on his lips. Feeling how it sounded with his tongue.

“No. Is my name too long and complicated for you? Loki? Prince of Ass-guard. Yada yada yada.” You deadpanned. Loki was getting agitated with all your irreverent backtalk. He almost preferred it to when you were asleep.

“I’m going to try and get into your mind again, Zee. It would be easier for you if you didn’t resist.” Loki warned.

“Or what?”

“Or else, you might see something you might not like. Memories you’ve tried to repress. I can guide you. But you’d have to follow my directions.” Loki said ever so calmly, putting his hands back inside his pockets.

“Oh, I’m not worried about what I’ll see. I know what goes on in my head.” You taunted. You walked back towards the opposite end of your cell, leaning back on the cool glass as an invitation to him.

In an instant, Loki was transported to a dark room. A brick façade lined one side of the walls. On the opposite side of the room, floor-to-ceiling windows showcased the moonlight outside. The view was six, maybe seven stories up, and overlooked the Brooklyn Bridge. Loki took note of some major street names that he could read.

A soft moan from behind him stole his attention. There was a couch and some furniture that had appeared mere seconds before. He saw you on the couch. Your back to him. A man’s hand tangled in your hair and his other hand gripped your hips tightly.

The man’s legs spread apart as he pulled you in closer to rub against him. You whimpered. And that sound sent a delicious rush down Loki’s spine arousing him.

Who were you tangled with? Loki was curious. You started grinding against them, eliciting a staggered familiar moan from the stranger. You cocked your head slightly to give Loki a better angle to watch.

Loki jumped back in shock to see himself staring back at him. The Loki under you smiled a mischievous grin as he grabbed more of your hair and angled you to get a better kiss.

Loki quickly jumped out of your head. Shaking in disbelief. He stared at you, unable to say anything. He knew that neither of you had ever met before. So this wasn’t a memory. Were you strong enough to block his advances? To make him see what you wanted him to see?

“I told you. You might not like what you see.” You gave him a knowing smirk.

“What did she show you?” Bruce asked through his headpiece.

“Are you alright, brother?” Thor added.

“Do you need one of us to go down there with you?” Rogers offered.

“No. I’ll try again.” Loki whispered.

“Try all you want. You’re not getting anything out of me. Those fuckers deserve to die!” You yelled as you hit the wall of your cell with your fist. Hot white light erupted from your hands, momentarily blinding Loki.

Loki jumped back in and landed in a field with tall dry grass. The half-moon had shown above and the only sounds he could hear were that of cicadas.

He spotted you walking through the grass and muck. You were younger, but well past your teenage years. You were wearing a tattered jumpsuit. Your hair was greasy and slick. Your eyes were a lot deeper and darker than they were now. You had a chain wrapped around your ankle attached to a heavy metal ball. You pulled on the chain, its weight slowing you down, dragging along the dirt. The cuff biting into your weak ankles.

Alarms sounded in the air as searchlights began their hunt for you. You looked up and sucked in a lungful of air, then blew at the weight around your foot. The surrounding air began to lift the heavy ball and carry it as fast as you could run.

The ball and chain followed you. There were men chasing after you now. They had the SHIELD insignia patched on their arms. One caught up with you and grabbed you by your arm, marginally missing the ball you had thrown his way.

“Come, kleiner lufthauch, we mean you no harm.” The man said to you. You sucked in your breath again, but this time you held it. All of a sudden the reeds around you caught fire, catching the pant leg of your assailant. The man was too distracted to notice that you threw the metal ball at his head. All by just exhaling your breath. The man fell. A concave dip where his face should have been.

You ran.

Loki snapped back to reality. Air, breath. That’s her power. He sent a projection of himself into the control room. Thor, Banner, and Rogers standing around a giant monitor, watching the two of you on the screen.

“Her powers come from the air around her,” Loki said behind them. Two of them stumbled forward, startled by Loki’s sudden appearance.

“For goodness sakes, Loki!” Rogers warned. Thor stood unfazed, accustomed to Loki’s surprise attacks.

Loki rolled his eyes as he continued. “It seems she can control the air around her.”

“How does the fire come into the equation?” Thor asked.

Bruce contemplated. “Fire needs three things. Fuel, heat, and-”

“Oxygen!” Rogers finished his sentence.

“She was being held against her will at a SHIELD facility. I saw her trying to escape.” Loki started again.

“Why are there no records of her?” Rogers asked. “Even with her given name, FRIDAY still can’t seem to find any trace of her.”

“The jailor I saw in my memory-walk called her ‘little breath’ or ‘little air?’ You could try looking that up.” Loki offered.

“How did he say it?” Bruce asked, typing into the keyboard.

“Kleiner lufthauch.”

“That’s German.” Steve stood straighter looking Loki in his eyes. “You don’t think she escaped an undercover HYDRA facility, do you?” Rogers said starting to put pieces together.

“Maybe the facilities she’s been targeting have been undercover HYDRA bases?” Thor questioned.

“If that’s true, how does she know which ones are true SHIELD offices, and which ones are HYDRA bases?” Banner posed. Loki left them to ponder it out. His projection leaving.

Back down below the building. Loki still sat in the chair facing you. “I have a proposition for you, darling?”

“No,” you said without hesitation.

“But you haven’t even heard it yet,” Loki said feigning hurt.

“Don’t care. Don’t want it. Especially from you.”

“What if it means, I could get you out of this cell?” He dangled the sweet bait of freedom in front of you.

“Loki! Don’t promise something we can’t deliver.” Rogers said in his ear.

Loki ignored him  and continued, “What if…you join us, and we can go after your little HYDRA spies with you?”

I got like, a singular reblog, when I did this as a tag game, but now we have POLLS, a brand new way to quantify the fact that I have almost no followers and am shouting into the void here, so tell me, netizens of Tumblr, what colour-coded sentai heroe are you?

Red: Leader! Decisive, thoughtful, organised and MOST IMPORTANTLY OF ALL leadership qualities. A Red must have the kind of sincere unironic charisma which makes people want to follow them, rather than have to be compelled to follow them. Can fall victim to self doubt, as carrying responsibility for everyone can be a great burden, and being trusted by everyone doesn't always mean you trust yourself.

Blue: Not quite a leader but not quite a follower, a Blue is an ideas-person, offering insight, advice and moderation to the plans and drives of the other members of the group. Can sometimes have issues with wanting more respect and authority, and want to be seen in the light that a Red is traditionally seen in.

Black: Driven, dutiful, and self-sacrificing, a Black is the most loyal friend imaginable who will go to any lengths to help you, but will sometimes feel like they are looking for excuses to burn themselves out in doing so. Will back you in any conflict, but will probably choose to escalate the conflict rather than help diffuse it.

Green: The funnyman of the group, or at least thinks they're the funnyman of the group. When not being funny, will still somehow be a little off the wall in their mannerisms and prone to exaggerated emotion, but in an endearing way rather than an irritating way (most of the time, at least).

Yellow: The emotional support friend, concerned with smoothing over conflict in the group and trying to see every situation from everyone else’s point of view. Can sometimes lose sight of their own needs trying to fulfil the needs of others.

Pink: Enjoyment-driven and individualist, sometimes to the point of aloofness, a Pink does what they want when they want, and can devote endless focus and energy to those pursuits, but can find it difficult to see things from the perspective of others, and fail to see the value in pursuits outside their own wheelhouse.

White: Moralistic and philosophical, they will hold themselves to a high standard of excellence, which is pretty great, but can also sometimes be somewhat harsh in holding others to that same high standard. Can also have a tendency to view things in a very black and white way: they might disregard nuance, or failing that, acknowledge nuance, but treat it as a numbers game, where the details can be added and subtracted from each other to achieve a simple answer.

Edit: had to update as I realised I somehow transposed a block of text from the red description over the yellow description like some kind of fucking idiot

Progress Update: 15 May 2022

I hope you’re doing well and staying safe! Hello to new and old readers.

The masterpost with the demo link is: HERE. Reblogs are always appreciated.

> Here is a more specific update regarding what I have been doing:

- I have been primarily focusing on making edits or revisions to what I’ve written so far…

- …That^ probably doesn’t sound like the most exciting bit of news to share, haha. (I think most people prefer writing to editing? I do enjoy going back and re-discovering scenes I wrote a while ago.) The good thing is that those edits are coming to an end with each day I spend hours going over the scene files. I won’t suggest a tentative date for when they will be over, but I’m optimistic about it being soon! 😊

- One positive about this part of the process is being able to re-visit choices that I wrote many months ago with a fresh set of eyes. Adding choices/options allows me to mix the editing part with some new writing along the way. There is this one scene in particular with B that I’m so excited for you all to read. It lets you learn a bit more about the road trip that led to your arrival in Fernweh; there’s some humor to it… Well, depending on what you pick and your MC’s mood at the moment.

Below is a very tiny teaser without much context, though I will say that the change in season around where I live has made the greenery quite photogenic. I could see B snapping pics around Fernweh too:

“No more twine.”

B pouts a little at your comment. “It was the world’s largest ball of it, not just twine…”

“It was a glorified heap of string,” you weakly retort, attempting to shake off your somber thoughts, even if your remark indirectly relates to them. This town is a tangled web that you can’t get caught up in. “Let’s focus on scenery related sights first, okay? Photo-worthy things.”

- In my last update, I also mentioned stat balancing. I am relatively set on how the pluses/minuses and tailored text are triggered after going over them repeatedly. I will likely be testing it once more in some playthroughs.🧐

- I’ve also been tinkering with new chapters, though the editing is taking priority and focusing my writing on certain sections of the story that I have written. I’m psyched to get back into mainly writing!

- - -

> Here is what I plan to work on:

- I will be continuing to edit, though that will change when I move to playthroughs of the unreleased material. I’m about to hop back into Chapter 12 after I post this on here and queue the post on Tumblr.

-  I think seeing the chapters in the DashingDon format helps me notice things since I’m familiar with the colors/layout of the coding editor I use…? Hopefully that makes sense. I used to be the same way when typing in documents versus putting those same words in powerpoints for my classes and catching stuff or seeing places where a sentence could be changed a little. A change of scenery, maybe?

Thank you all for your patience and support! 💚 I’m diligently working on Book 1 even though I’m a little quiet on social media while working on it rn. (I tend to fixate on things.) Best wishes to each of you!💐

#fernweh saga #weekly updates #(<--- except not really since this is more of a progress update and not a weekly one.) #who do queue think you are? #i would look at twine with you; B. it's okay. ignore the MC's lack of appreciation for it in this one choice response. XD

[the-kittylorian-writes]

I have a story- well, more worldbuilding I guess?- question for ya! What drew you to Din/Omera as a pairing? Follow up, are there any common fandom assumptions about the pairing that you would like to correct?

(Reassurance: I don’t Do fandom drama, this isn’t a setup for a gotcha or anything, I just like learning how people think. My favorite pairing is Din/too tired for any of this nonsense, so it’s not like I have a ship to defend anyway. 😜)

Yay, there it is! Haha thank you for the ask! 😁💚

Okay, get ready for quite a lengthy explanation! 😂 Grab some hot cocoa and melt into a blankie. 🛌

It all started (here we go) when I saw the tv spot trailer/ad-edit trailer where scenes from the Sorgan episode kept playing. And this is a trailer ad that plays on loop unless you close the ad window (i hate those 🥲). I remember reacting to that trailer with annoyance over the prospect of a “forced romantic subplot” which had been a scourge for me personally, and I’ve enjoyed The Mandalorian season 1 so far without the MC (the then unnamed Din Djarin) strung with a romantic interest to spoil the adventure. But when the Sorgan episode aired, I was pleasantly surprised that the “romantic scenes” (in quote marks because they were subtle… maybe except those long-ish beats of Din and Omera just staring at each other… lol) were not in-your-face cheesy and cringe-worthy, at least for me. It was all in the body language, especially the scene where Omera tried to slowly take off Din’s helmet (which, I believe is a controversial take in the fandom but I’ll circle back to that one in a minute). I guess I meant to say that I was blown away with how wrong I was 🤣, about how I expected such scenes to keep me from watching the rest of the show. I don’t take that sort of effect on me lightly. I ended up being awed with how ambiguous yet implied the “romance” (or at least, a small spark) was depicted in that episode. In other words—my silly arse got converted from cynicism and Mandomera slowly grew on me. Also there’s this old trope of a hardened warrior finally getting tired of being constantly in peril and wanting a more peaceful existence, coupled with homespun Sorgan and a gentle widow who happens to be a crack shot, there was something there that tickled me pink. HOWEVER, I was also relieved that at the end of the episode, Din decided he’d rather not stay (and also Grogu’s life was still in danger so they had to be on the run again). Because hey… I don’t want the single dad warrior guy main plotline saddled with baggage other than the lone wolf and cub adventures. (I’ll be lying, though, if i said that I wouldn’t want Din to return to Sorgan in the future before the entire series concludes. 🙈)

But, as I said earlier, the pairing grew on me. Tough but jaded warrior guy + soft and nurturing but capable woman is a mix I kinda fell for first with Aragorn and Arwen from LOTR (yep… debatable, but yep 😅). It’s also a plus that Omera seems non-judgmental and Din just relayed very personal information to her in a heartbeat. I thought at first that it could be a flaw of convenience script-wise, but it did work for me anyway. Pedro Pascal’s voice acting also did great favors for Din in all his Sorgan scenes with Omera. 😵

Bottomline: I had tried to find reasons to dislike the Din and Omera dynamic in the show, but realized that the dynamic was done in a way where I can not only forgive it, but accept it. And then I slowly became a fan. Lol!

Now on to the controversial bit: that scene where Omera seemingly takes off Din’s helmet without his permission. I beg to disagree, at least personally. At that point of the episode, Din already had trusted Omera enough to leave Grogu under her care. Whatever defenses Din had built around himself with Sorgan and Omera herself were not there anymore. So I believed it was also a point safe enough for Omera to lay both hands on Din’s helmet without Din reacting defensively or aggressively opposing it. And Omera also did it slowly, allowing Din time to change his mind or at least say “no”—which he did, but Din even sounded gently remorseful about his decision not to stay. I think the episode up to that point had the characters establish silent agreements or cues between themselves, and I feel it’ll break the flow of the scene if Omera outright said “May I remove your helmet?” Body language between the two actors was directed skillfully enough to relay words that don’t have to be announced (kudos to Bryce Dallas Howard 😍). Again, at least for me! I know there are those who see the development too rushed, etc but I didn’t see that. I guess it’s a matter of intention from the director and interpretation of the audience.

So yeah hahaha this was quite the long answer. 😮‍💨 I may have even missed a few spots but I hope you find it satisfactory so far. 😋 I do agree as well that an ultimate ship should be Din/too tired, fed up, fck ths sht i’m getting some sleep *cries under his helmet* or Din/Dad Responsibilities! 😆😆

If anyone is looking for an editor for your fanfiction or original stories, I'm available for hire. I charge $20 dollars an hour, and all transactions will go through Cash App. Whether you have trouble with English, or just want someone to do the annoying part of writing for you (trust me, I know the feeling lol), I'm here to help.

I do have one condition: I won't edit anything that has non-con in it. I don't mind a bit of dub-con, but for personal reasons, I don't do the hardcore shit. Other than that, I'm game for anything.

I'm currently trying to create a steady income so I can afford to pay rent on an apartment for me and my best friend. We're both in our own shitty living situations at the moment, and we're desperately trying to find ways to earn enough cash to financially support ourselves in a place of our own.

So please, if anyone sees this and needs help, or knows someone who does, send me a massage. If neither of these apply to you, then please give this post an reblog. I'll take as many reblogs as I can get lol.

Attention Prodigal Son fandom: I’m going to start writing an essay soon on what the show means to me and why I believe it deserves a second chance, and I would love to have some of y’all’s own thoughts and feelings to add to it.

If you’re interested, please email me by Friday at [email protected] . In one or two paragraphs, tell me why the show means so much to you. I probably won’t be able to put everyone’s in, but I promise I’ll put as many of you as I can. Also, at the end of the email, please add whichever social media @ that you’re comfortable with so I can credit you.

If y’all could also RT this post, that would be awesome. Thank you. <3

I don’t know if this essay will do anything at all, but I can still try. I haven’t given up hope that we’ll get this amazing show back. I refuse to give up.

My #1 post of 2022

It fucking baffles me how there are antis in the Rick and Morty fandom. Why tf are you even here?? Have you even seen the show??? It's not exactly a wholesome fucking watch. Rick is the farthest thing from a good person, and Morty ain't exactly a sweet angel boy, either. Rick has quite literally destroyed civilizations (including his own), and both these mfs have killed a shit ton of people and aliens (some who did shit all to deserve it), but you're mad that people irl ship them?? Just shut the fuck up.

Nobody in this show is what's considered a good person. Nobody. They either have toxic traits, or are just straight up toxic af. But that's the fucking point. This show isn't meant to be Steven fucking Universe, ffs. It's an Adult Swim cartoon that's about an old alcoholic asshole of a scientist and his horny naive 14 year old grandson who go on or get sucked into dangerous adventures every episode. So if you're gonna be that pressed about people shipping them, or literally any other characters together, then maybe you should stop watching the show entirely, since everything that's said and done is SO far from being the "uwu I love my family and feel nothing but wholesome love for them" good morals that you fantasize every show and movie catering to.

#tumblr2022 #year in review #my 2022 tumblr year in review #your tumblr year in review

[atomtanned]

hello! I love your edit of the turn ons/off mod, it's fantastic! I have some questions though:

I noticed that the "ambitious" trait is not listed as part of "serious" (it used to be part of "productive"). but the icon is a briefcase for work, so ambitious would fit with that. did you remove the ambitious trait on purpose or is it just not listed in the tumblr post? I'm asking because I have quite a few sims with that trait and now it seems "ambitious" isn't relevant for any turn on/off anymore.

and for the skill-related TOs, did you change the skill point number required or is it still 8 points like lilbabydilljr changed it to? (not that I would mind if you had changed it, 8 points has always seemed too high to me, especially if you play with slower skilling mods. I always thought 5 or 6 points would make more sense. if you're attracted to people who can cook for example, you usually don't expect them to be master chefs after all, just to have some decent level cooking skills imo ^^)

also, "popular" is named "well-liked" in game. doesn't bother me or anything, just thought I'd mention it in case you'd like to know since you called that TO "popular" in your tumblr post.

anyway, thanks again for sharing your edit, it's my favorite turn on/turn off mod I've seen so far!

Hi anon!

I did remove Ambitious from the Serious turn-on. One of the reasons I made this edit was that I wanted to try to “balance” out the benefits of the traits. I use this mod by Belladovah so that Ambitious Sims have a boost in every single career track, which is a pretty awesome bonus, so I dropped them from the chemistry list. I couldn’t find another icon I liked that matched the trait so I left it (but it also bothers me haha so I will probably find something else and change it).

I did not change the skill turn-ons, so they remain the same as in Dill’s mod. While I like the idea, I feel like I’ve added so many traits that there’s a lot of opportunities for chemistry without the skills, so I probably won’t change this in the future.

Thanks for the heads up about the Popular/Well-Liked trait! I kept going back and forth on what I wanted it to be called and I guess forgot what I chose! I will update the post with that info for sure.

I’m so glad you like it, thanks so much for letting me know! 💚

GURL ERM EXCUSE ME ❤

I just saw this ad/skit on tiktok about a new show called "I Know What You Did Last Summer" on Amazon, not even sure if it's good cuz havent watched it or looked into it more BUT

THE STORYLINE SOUNDS SO MUCH LIKE DUSKWOOD

So far what I've heard is that it's about these teenagers accidently hit and killed someone with their car and covered up the evidence. Then a year later, a killer starts trying to pick them off bcuz of that accident.

It can't be just me who's seeing so many similarities already, I kinda wanna watch it now, hopefully its actually good 😭🤞

Ahhhhhh! UMMM ANON!!? ❤️

Omg, I saw your submission last evening and immediately watched the trailer. Unfortunately there are only 4 episodes right now, but thanks to you I have already finished them!😂

The story itself sounds really extreme like Duskwood! And there is a lot of inspiration for writing! And also so some things fit to Duskwood.🤯

Well, the further you watch, the less it’s like Duskwood, unfortunately, but still the show is so good! So really! I’m positively surprised! I can only recommend it to you! For some things, I really thought, "Yes, this could also come from Everbyte!" xD

I was a little skeptical at the beginning, because Duskwood is the best of everything, and something similar to Duskwood, can it compete with the game?

Well, but like I said, I think series is really good and in some moments it really suits Duskwood! Unfortunately, only one episode comes every Friday, but now I am at least looking forward to Friday! Hehe.

It’s really exciting! Check it out! And if you did, let me know what you think, okay?🤭

Thank you very much for sharing! A good series recommendation is always welcome! And thank you for taking the time to share it with us!

Hope you will have a wonderful day/evening/night! Lots of love and hugs to you! 💚🌹🎭

Edit: I hope Everbyte will never see this series! 😫😂

Edit 2: It’s a remake. I’ve never seen the original, so I can’t compare it to it. xD

Has anyone else watched it??? Can we please talk about it? XD

What’s your total AO3 word count?

35,146

How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

GoT

The Vampire Diaries

Supernatural

Harry Potter

The Hunger Games

12 Monkeys

Pretty Little Liars

Bitterblue (Graceling Realm)

Criminal Minds

Twilight

=10 fandoms total, only 3 on ao3 though

What are your top five fics by kudos?

How I met your mother

Too good to be true

If Arya had been at Eastwatch

Oh, to see without my eyes

Oh, will wonders ever cease

Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

I do my best to reply to everyone because I know how nice it is when the author replies to your comment 😊

What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

That would be an unpublished one in which both Arya and Gendry die 😬

What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

Hmm, maybe blessing in disguise considering how it starts. Or oh, will wonders ever cease cause that's just a feel good fic, I think.

Do you write crossovers? If yes, what’s the craziest thing you’ve written?

I have written one! It's a multi crossover one shot including Damon from tVD, Dr Cox from Scrubs and Sirius Black from Harry Potter where they meet in a bar and become drinking buddies and vent to each other. Might have potential to be extended and translated into English 🤔 been thinking of adding Dean Winchester at the end anyway...

Have you ever received hate on a fic?

I wouldn't say hate, but someone demanded I write longer chapters, and not in a nice, I-need-more way, literally demanded, which I found a bit rude.

Do you write smut? If so what kind?

That's the million dollar question isn't it? 😂 I feel like I'm slowly working up to someday writing explicit smut. I definitely have ideas 😏

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know. Quite the opposite, someone once asked me if they could use the premise of my fic for their own. Which I said yes to. As long as you don't copy paste (parts) of my fics, you're welcome to use them as inspiration for pretty much anything.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

No, but I have attempted/started translating HP fic into German several years ago.

Have you ever co-written a fic?

Not yet!

What’s your all time favourite ship?

Gendrya, duh.

What’s a WIP you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

Staying Over.

It's a one shot collection though, so "finish" is relative but I do have a few more ideas already planned, just not much motivation to write them at the moment.

What’s your writing strengths?

I do think I have unique ideas and if I'm in the zone I usually get the pacing right. I've definitely gotten better at plotting, too.

And weirdly, I think I'm doing alright at dialogue when that's the exact thing I used to struggle the most with. I remember that that was the task in my 15 month creative writing class that took me the longest to complete.

What’s your writing weaknesses?

Descriptions 🙃 I think years of academic writing and editing my own papers to be as concise as possible have done some damage. Plus it's super hard for my constantly fatigued brain to come up with synonyms, so my vocabulary isn't as diverse as it could be.

Also, action. Which is a big reason for why I haven't written smut yet.

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in fic?

I think it only really works when you a) don't want the reader/protagonist to know what's being said or b) if it's a language/ expression that is widely known so it can be assumed that most people will at least roughly know what's being said. Otherwise it just becomes a mess with trying to translate within the context.

In the end, it all boils down to the fact that dialogue should always add value. Direct dialogue isn't always necessary.

What was the first fandom you wrote for?

The Vampire Diaries.

What’s your favourite fic you’ve written?

It's gotta be a tie between my one shot collection and Kink in the South.

If we're talking older fics, at the time I was very proud of a multichapter Kol/OC tVD fic that I never finished.

content creator appreciation! list five favorite sets you’ve made and send this ask to five other content creators 💖 (no pressure if you don't want to do it or have done this already 😘) hello have u been sent this yet <3 if not i rlly wanna know ur faves if u wanna do it hehe

ooooooo nice! let's go

i just realized that i thought this was for sets i’ve made this year so i didn’t consider anything from last year lmaooooo sorry. also i’m only going to include gfx or gifs since this ask is on quokki and not on my artblog (idk if u wanted me to include my art but then it would have to be a separate list)

Han - Venom MV

i love the paper texture effect i used on this set cuz it kind of gives it a comic feel? and i love the coloring cuz i turned the shadows blue and made the red pinkish 💓

2. my new header

i learned some cool new tricks for this one and it was so exciting and i just think it looks pretty cool 🖤

3. ODDINARY Frankenstein Concept photos

these came out really nice, i love all the green effects i added, specially the eyes and i like the grunge film effect on top with the white lines. i think it’s very? supernatural or halloween-y and i love it and i love skz for giving us all this crazy stuff that is 100% up my alley 💚

4. Christmas Evel Game

this was so crazy of me lmao. well you know i started this in december when i asked you to help me with the members concepts and then i dragged it all the way to oddinary but i’m really happy with the final results. it was a lot of work but i’m very proud of it. i think its very fun and cool looking :D 💚

5. ODDINARY trailer

ok so i love this one because i added the green effect and it looked so cool. i basically just tried to reuse the stuff from the frankenstein photoshoot gfx i made earlier. but i love the middle gif cuz it’s gigantic and it’s hanji and it was the first time that i made moving text with the video timeline! it was soooo cool to see it working!!!!!!!!!!!! 💚

and now i’m going to cheat and add one more

6. Winterfalls X Felix Magazine shoot

this one at first i just wanted to do something quick with his pics since everyone was editing them but then i went overboard as usual lmao but i really like how it turned out and i was able to try something new which was the last pannel with the polaroids. 💙

Just finished watching Fruits Basket huhu. I thought it was a light hearted and rom com kind of anime, with just guys turning into animals when hugged. I thought it would be a good breather from AoT atleast. Guess there's no such simple anime like that 😅. It turned out to be more twisted and heavy than I thought. Nonetheless, I may have found one of the best love stories in anime so far (between Yuki and Tohru). Made my heart flutter and break at the same time and actually had to rewatch the whole anime to make sense of how Yuki really felt and it made sense eventually given the short duration of the story. Tohru became and was his first home (and he eventually moved out, like a child growing up and out making his own choices and decisions).

But then as I thought deeper, in the end, when we're ready to settle down, isn't that the relationship we all strive and hope for? A secure, comfortable place we could unapologetically be ourselves without the fear of being judged, a place of understanding, acceptance and continuing growth. And I actually really liked how Yuki helped Tohru in her studies and can be able to make her think more deeply (to not be too gullible) about various things. A certain aspect in which I think Tohru lacks. And Tohru in turn untangled Yuki's deeply knotted dark thoughts and emotions which helped him to get out of his shell and eventually come to terms and shake hands with his fears and insecurities. I was really rooting for them, but I think maybe if they met at a later time, or if the story progressed longer they could have better sorted out their feelings and eventually would have ended up together? I don't know haha I just think their personalities really fit together almost perfectly, they're very complementary. But then again, that's just my personal opinion and preference.

P.S. Or maybe I'm just not a fan of Kyo's character for Tohru, his hot headedness and his outward display of hate/irritation 😅. But maybe Kyo eventually changed after he let go of his guilt and insecurities? Yuki just felt more in control and though a bit self-destructive, always choose to sort his feelings out within himself before acting on things. Both of them have gone through a lot and I just personally love how Yuki silently handled his inner problems with the help of Tohru.

Edit: It's also just a big mystery to me how Yuki never was able to openly talk about how he was the blue-hat kid who helped Tohru find her way back home. I always thought that was one of the things he kept a lid on but would eventually be revealed by him in the end but he never got to do so. Was is not relevant anymore or did he think it would still have some kind of bearing so he chose not to personally tell it anymore?

Be careful of the bonds we make and the bonds we choose to keep 💚

More words!! Your literary baby that definitely isn't gonna be a spatort polizeiruf crossover fic is growing so fast!! Im so proud *does a little happy dance* And ahh you wanna give me a tag?? 🥺🥺 What an honour! I'm bad at thinking about something specific though 😅 so I'm just gonna give you some facts about me and let you make of that what you want if you're okay with that: my name starts with an a, pronouns she/they (first time adding the 'they' tbh, I feel like this is a chance to try out how I feel about it), I'm probably ace, fave colour is green, most used emojis are 🥺❤ and 🙈 because I'm soft and a bit socially anxious but even if it's awkward sometimes, I feel like spreading love might be my favourite thing. More things I love: making art and seeing art being made, blankets, music ❤ (ps. maybe I'm stupid but what does 'did a j' mean? 🙈)

asdfsdfg you are not stupid at all that was a mistake! probably an edit that didn't save right or something? it was meant to read "because of this ask i went and did some more writing" or something along those lines. sorry about that!! mea culpa

thank you for feeling comfortable enough with me to try new pronouns <3 i've also been messing around with my gender more lately (cut my hair above shoulder length for the first time since i was really little yesterday, for one) and i've actually been really enjoying the process of discovery, so to speak : )

i did some googling just now and discovered that there is a species of monkey specifically called the green monkey (or sabaeus monkey but that's not as fun) that looks like this:

[ID: photo of a young green monkey; it has golden fur and large brown eyes. /end ID]

there’s no point to this i just thought you might enjoy the information : ) we could go simple for the tag and just use #| anon 💚 if that works for you? let me know otherwise and i’ll brainstorm some more : )

#thank you for dropping in again it always cheers me up to see an ask from you! #also because i'm nosy i'd be curious about your music taste if you're comfortable sharing #i love music and i love talking about it asdfgsfhd #| anon 💚 #(gonna start using it but changing it's no trouble if you'd rather <3) #anyway have a lovely evening! #elke.docx
