*Not sure about the exact pronounciation but the most of the translation says 'Les Halles'.

** In Japan, there are terms called ‘dry person’ & ‘wet person’. ‘Dry person’ is someone who can think rationally without being overwhelmed by emotions and because of their calm demeanor, they are thought to be cold and unapproachable. ‘Wet person’ is the opposite of ‘dry person’.

note: i want to apologize in advance for any mistake made in the translation!

[fluffytheocelot]

Hello it’s extremely late oops. Did not realize how long this thing would take (28 and a half hours apparently according to procreate lmao) but finally, here it is!

Carmen Week Day 8: La Femme Rouge

Holy crap that was a lot of characters! For day 8 I wanted to draw all the ways I've drawn/imagined Carmen over the last 5 years! There are many I didn't do for one reason or another, but it mainly boiled down to space lol. These 10 (11 including canon Carmen) are (most) of my favorites of my AUs :)

this turned out so cool im putting it in a frame when i get a chance lol

Info and solo drawings for each under the cut! it is. so long lol

as usual, i'll gladly answer asks about em :) i have plans to write a few for sure, but it's gonna be A While for them lol

Cat:

Both a Warriors AU and also just my "_____ as a cat" style!

This ones a lot less fleshed out so just bear with me lol. (ATM there might only be 2 clans, ACME and VILE, idk yet lol. idk what to name em either cos stickin "clan" on the end don't feel right XD)

In the Warriors AU, Sheeppaw grows up learning 2 contradictory versions of the Warrior Code: The true one from Shadowstalk, and the VILE version from older warriors. She gets made an apprentice a couple moons early, but is relegated only to camp duties until shes 6 moons old.

She trains alongside Cracklepaw, Tigerpaw, Molepaw, Goatpaw, and Silentpaw. At her first gathering she meets another apprentice, maybe a few moons older, from the other clan: Jewelpaw. The two hit it off and become good friends (and develop little mutual crushes). Sheeppaw also sneaks out and meets a kittypet: Player, who she also becomes very good friends with.

When her mentor, the deputy, Shadowstalk fails her on her final warrior assessment she pretty much has most of the same reaction as the show, just in the WC style.

After witnessing a murder, she hightails it out of there and encounters the newly named Crackletail. Panicked, she hastily and vaguely tells him she saw something and needs to Leave.

She makes it to Players yard and lays low for a while, and he introduces her to the neighbor cats, a sibling pair named Zack and Ivy. The four brainstorm and Sheeppaw is renamed Carmen. They know they cant let VILE keep doing what they're doing. So rogue Carmen and her kittypet friends start figuring things out from behind the scenes.

Pirate Cat:

Exactly as it says, bipedal cat world. Black Sheep was dropped off at a random orphanage in England, with a small stuffed black sheep (where she got her name). Since everybody are cats, Black Sheep isn't that atypical of a name. Sorta a mix of normal people names and cat names.

She grows up there alongside her self-appointed older brother Graham. When she's about 10-11ish she meets the princess: Julia Argent. Childhood friends to lovers letsgoo (its a recurring theme in these lol. its cute i like it).

The two eventually get together (in secret, yay homophobia and also societal status) It doesn't help that Black Sheep had a habit of getting in trouble so she could see the princess her princess.

The two get caught one night, and Black Sheep is nearly executed for "corrupting royalty", but Julia manages to talk her father down from that. Instead, she is exiled. If she ever sets foot in the kingdom after dawn, she WILL be killed this time.

Julia visits one last time, and Black Sheep promises to return someday when she finds somewhere where they can be together freely. She gives Julia her stuffed sheep to look after while she's gone, and asks her to take care of Fuega while she's gone (on one of their sneak-outs, they found a baby dragon that Julia managed to convince her dad to let her keep). Julia gives her the triangle choker. yay tearful goodbyes ;-;

Black Sheep and Graham (because no way is he letting his little sister go into exile without him) go from place to place, stealing when they need to and end up accidentally stowing away on a VILE pirate ship.

VILE pirate training to avoid death, they escape. Graham appoints the newly named Carmen Sandiego captain of their little ship, and they also pick up Zack, Ivy, and Player along the way. Carmen becomes very well known around the globe: civilians/lower class people see her as a Robin Hood hero (correct), while most royals and nobles see her as nothing but a filthy pirate (incorrect).

A few years go by when suddenly the crew gets word that the King of England is trying to marry off his daughter, who has recently come of age. Cue panicked race home + childhood lover reunion.

Daughter of Poseidon (Carmen Sandiego and the Olympians):

Percy Jackson AU! Replace Percy with Carmen, Grover with Player, Annabeth with Julia, and switch/move around some plot points and that's about it lol. I keep telling myself I'll do some scene rewrites of this one so we'll see. Includes PJO and HOO acting as prequels for Carmen Sandiego. Def wanna do dome rewrites for the canon show for this AU too lol

Dino Squad:

I'm out here combining one obscure kids show with another lol. If you haven't seen it, Dino Squad is this early 2000s animated show about these 5 teenagers that get mutated and can turn into dinosaurs, and go around stopping the bad guy from turning everything into dinosaurs. (I think the entire series may be on youtube lol. its goofy but man i loved it as a kid. i wanted dino powers so bad)

This is basically a high school au but most of Team Red has dinosaur powers. :P

In this, Dr. Bellum is experimenting with bringing dinosaurs back, but instead of just cloning them, she figures out how to mutate already-existing organisms into others.

(in the OG dino squad, the bad guy IS a dinosaur that evolved into a human--long story--and believes everything should still be dinosaurs. hes technically right, tbf, if the meteor hadn't hit they prolly still WOULD be dinosaurs. why does bellum want dinosaurs? because she's Bellum and she Can lol)

Carmen Wolfe and her twin brother Graham (they're fraternal twins. why? bc i thought it would be funny. yes he still has his accent. its my world i do what i want) are raised by Carlotta and Dexter Wolfe in Kittery Point, Maine. Carlotta is a paleontologist/biologist and Dexter is a history and geography teacher at the high school. They do know of VILE and what Bellum was working on and have been monitoring it in secret from the kids.

Carmen and Julia are those friends that met bc they were both hiding under the slide in like. Preschool and just stayed friends lol. They're the kind of best friends that will just. Show Up. usually Julia at Carmen's house because "You have better snacks" also Julia's parents just Don't Like Carmen. (Why? idk bc i said so. idk they think she's a bad influence. she's really not lol) Literally Julia has like a spot on the couch and a table setting. She's basically the third twin these three have known each other essentially their entire lives.

Zack and Ivy joined the group in middle school, when Ivy had the same class as Carmen, Julia, and Gray. Zack joined via association. (Zack and Ivy, on the other hand are not twins. again. bc its funny. each sibling pair thought the other was like them. zack and ivy thought Carmen and Gray were just normal siblings, and Carmen and Gray thought Zack and Ivy were twins. Julia had to explain to all of them it was not the case lol)

Player is Carmen's online friend that the whole group includes. they all game together and he gets ALL the public school tea. hes about the same age as Zack, so about a year-ish younger than Carmen, Gray, Ivy, and Julia.

At the end of their freshman year, Carmen and Julia start dating. Their friends and Carmen's parents know, they keep it secret from everyone else. At the end of the summer everybody (aside from Player) go to the beach for one last day of freedom before school starts. They swim through the mutant goo, and over the next few days discover their powers.

Carlotta IDs each dino: Carmen is a (large/person sized) pyroraptor, Gray is a T. rex, Julia is a troodon, and I still cant decide on Zack and Ivy's dino forms lol. Carlotta and Dexter explain the whole VILE thing and the group just kinda simultaneously goes "welp guess we're superheroes now. cool"

so yea dealing w highschool and also mutant dinosaurs and superpowers. this ones fun bc they can just be stupid kids lol

The Last Wolf:

My werewolf AU. The one that started all this mess and my love for making AUs of this show. It was my first fanfic i ever wrote, and it is very near to my heart. it's also gotten out of hand and become a franchise at this point it's ridiculous. (Seriously i've got a prequel of her parents planned and also a series of shorts set in the universe) It's gonna be a long ride, boys. Hope people still like CS by the time it's done lol

A Thief's Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse:

Zombie apocalypse AU! Talked about this one a bit for AU day, and also as of this post I have ~1k words written of the first chapter! I also have a bunch of the major plot points outlined too ;) I wouldn't expect anything soon tho lol.

She wears a wetsuit under the coat bc it's really hard to bite through, especially with rotten jaws. She's got some boots she probably scavenged or traded for, and of course: the Walkman she probably found looting some abandoned building. She collects cassettes to listen to. Gotta keep sane in the end of the world.

How is this one a literal apocalypse and its still more lighthearted than the one based on FNAF lol

Redd Wolf (Five Nights at Redd's):

FNAF AU. I've truly lost it lol. I have this one completely outlined, nothing written but a lot of things are VERY clear in my mind. This ones uh. a lot more intense than even Thief's Guide. It's FNAF. its immense violence and child death. Seriously, Carmen, Player, Gray, Ivy, Zack, and Julia all end up possessing animatronics at some point. It ends happily, but it is based off a horror thing so if that's not your thing b careful <3

its supposed to be more of a mystery that gets unraveled, but if anyone wants specifics of it u can drop an ask :) i only have animatronic designs for Carmen, Julia, and Gray so far tho. I have ideas for the others too.

This is one I wanna share with y'all at some point. its probably the shortest of the AUs I have outlined so far, so yk. maybe in this lifetime lol.

Carmen and the Age of Wonderbeasts:

Mega Jaguar Carmen. This ones more of a ~vibe~ than an actual plot but i like drawing mega jag carm :)

Plushie Dragon:

This one's not an AU, but actually based on doodles of these 2 plush dragons! Matching red/gold and blue/silver dragons named after carmen and julia lol. I'll get around to posting more drawings of em cause they're cute

the plushies <3 (they have spikes u just cant see em:

ik they look goofy i lov them anyways

Wings of Fire:

Wings of Fire AU! Carmen is a rainwing/skywing hybrid (rainwing dad, skywing mom) She can camoflauge, fly decently fast, and has a prehensile tail. She can't breathe fire or use typical venom, BUT she figures out her venom, while not face-melting by itself, IS in fact flammable. again, more of a ~vibe~ than a story and plot, but I like drawing dragons.

Canon Carmen:

She's front and center, the one that started all this.

Way back in 2019, the autism and ADHD departments in my brain came to an agreement: This show is the greatest show of all time.

It was the first fandom I actively contributed to/interacted with. (I still read fics from other fandoms before, but had never been active in a fandom) Like I mentioned with Last Wolf, I had never actually written fanfiction before, and definitely never posted it. I love writing and telling stories (and boy howdy do I have A Lot of stories rolling around my brain). between all of the AUs ive come up with, I've gotten to practice so much worldbuilding and characterization. English classes usually focused on expository stuff, with like. a brief fiction writing thing. So I've definitely gotten to stretch my creative writing muscles with this show, and hopefully I can put em to use on original projects someday <3

I fell in love with the first season, and got ridiculously excited for every new season and the interactive. (heck, i played every possible option for the interactive the day it came out, and binged every subsequent season the day they aired.)

This show has been a big part of my life the last five years, and the original show will always be special to me. It's the reason I started learning to draw people lol, I have a drawing of Carmen from 2020 that I'm still really proud of. It's hung on my bedroom wall to this day.

So thank you, Carmen Sandiego. For everything.

[the-s1lly-corner]

Knubbler hcs (Fluff alphabet edition)

Ik I just posted a fluff list to do with CRP characters last post but I also wanna do it with Knubbler because this fucker has been on my mine for WEEKS and I gotta feed my fellow dick enjoyers

Obvious heads up on heavy hc stuff since we don't have much on this dude RAAAAAAAH + still developing my hcs

Long since its A-Z, not proof read and I wrote this in one sitting I need to be put down

Attraction-

Torn between wanting to say he has high standards but I'm a dickface shipper sooo (/lh)

I can't explain it but I feel like he'd be into the feistier people; more dominant and outspoken, that sort of thing, ballsy. Also balancing with being chill so it's not just. Constant energy

Balance, you know

Appearance wise? I'm stumped tbh so maybe I'll revisit this later some day

Bonding-

While he enjoys dragging you around and spoiling you (getting into that for D + G), he does enjoy time spent at home with you! Knubblers always been the type of person to sit by a fire reading a book with a glass of wine; in a robe of course

At least he does to me

Calm stuff like that is a must

Oh how I crave domestic life hcs with this man

Cuddling-

I don't have PDA on this list so imma let it be said, this man loves affection, giving and receiving. Absolutely adores being all over you at all times and not at all afraid to show you off

Going to the actual prompt he doesnt care if you're larger or smaller than him, if you sprawl yourself over his chest he will melt!!!! Hold each other!!!

Dates-

This man is going to pour so much money into these dates

Could just be because we saw him take Abigail out to dinner but my brain defaults to restuarant dates, but otherwise I feel he's also a museum enjoyer (historical, art, ect)

Emotion-

Of course since this for reader insert stuff I can't exactly say who's more emotional so we're relying on Knubbler

I feel like. He's moderate, based on his interactions with Dethklok

He's patient by a considerable amount but has his limits

Absolutely pours his heart and guts out to you when hes drunk, though, not that he doesnt already shower you with compliments and affirmations

Wanna put him at a 6.5/10 when sober, and solid 8/10 when drunk

Family-

He doesn't strike me as the type to want kids, honestly, not that he has anything against them though, it's simply not what he wants

I saw someone hc a while back that he would have a bunch of siblings and I'm HARD agreeing on that + adding my own thing that hes an uncle

Need to write a silly fic where he's assigned as babysitter for a day (I desperately need more solo/knubbler centered stuff)

Gift Giving-

Nearly every week or so he will buy you something from flowers to jewelry to stuffed animals to fancy chocolates to really anything

If you so much as mention vaguely wanting something hes pulling out his wallet

This dude is likely loaded (based on working for Dethklok and being successful prior judging by the newspapers at the end of episode 2) so he's not afraid to drop some cash for you

As for receiving gifts he doesn't hold you to the same standard regardless of your income but he would be thrilled with anything you give him, I feel like hes a jewelry guy but maybe that's just because I like drawing him with rings

I feel like he'd go bonkers for baked good though

Harsh-

You guys may butt heads but you guys probably wouldn't argue too much outside of the basic disagreements that happen in every relationship!! Usually apologies for lashing out (if he does that in that particular argument) but will refuse to apologize if there's an actual problem that needs to be addressed (if said problem is on your end)

King of compromises (learned trait from working with bands me thinks)

Injury-

Depends on the severity

Knows very very basic first aid (cleaning, applying pressure if it's an open bleeding wound, cool water if it's a burn, ect) but more than that he's lost

Swearing and a bit of panic if it's something more serious, this is true for if hes the one hurt as well

If you're the one hurt hes going to hover all over you. Oh nooo please dont tell him hes your savior/hero, please don't make him reel good for pampering you oh NOOOOOOO (stares)

If hes the ome hurt hes going to bask in the attention if he needs to be taken care of, hypes up splinters/j

This stuff also applies to sickness

Jealousy-

Oh this is one jealous motherfucker. He will *glare* with those red pin prick robotic eyes of his

If someone's flirting with you he will saunter over and wrap an arm around you, loudly and sharply calls you babe to get the point across

^Kinda cliche but I feel like this man is a sucker for tropes

But if you're like actively uncomfortable I think he might have to intervene

See: his criminal record and the fact he "knows people who can 'take care of someone'", whether he'd actually follow through depends

Kisses-

Recieving he loves when you kiss his face; mouth, cheeks, nose

Giving, really everything is fair game if you give the go ahead; has a particular fixation on your hands (backs and knuckles), cheeks, and neck

Love anything from quick pecks to full on make out sessions

Love Language-

Physical touch and gift giving! Sometimes the gift giving can get intense since hes so ready to treat you like royalty but he doesnt mean anything malicious by it

As for receiving he has a soft spot for affirmations

Marriage-

He goes either way I think, but leans further to no marriage

That doesn't mean hes any less committed to you, though

You guys probably get matching rings even if there isn't a ceremony or legal thing, I think

No-

A deal breaker is like. If you're genuinely a bad person or a threat to his career

Like theres a difference between the shit Dethklok gets into and what you would have to do for him to cut you off full stop

Though I'm stumped on what exactly would call for that outside of being a genuinely horrible person, maybe I'll revisit this later

Oddity-

His laugh is the first thing I can think of. While I think the original is silly and cute in its own way, I'm kinda glad they changed it in the movie

He laughs at his own jokes and has a killer hair routine he follows religiously. Shitty innuendos, too. I am not going to let this man live down the hot dog thing and I KNOW it ain't a one off thing there is no way, this man gets no bitches (using Nathan's "you're horrible with women" comment as leverage)

Outside of that I dont think there's many quirks or habits that are worth mentioning

Petnames-

By law he has to call you Baby/Babe but I can also see him saying Hon/Honey, maybe even Sweetheart

Loves being called things like Dear and Darling

Question-

Loves coming to you to ask if you wanna give a second opinion on something hes working on, work related or not! Hes more than confident in his skills regarding sound engineering, but he likes getting the attention and time from you

Risk-

Skipping this because I'm truly stumped on trying to figure out how far hes willing to go in a relationship in terms of taking risks

SHH-

Has a few secrets, ranging from personal stuff to things that ultimately don't concern you

And that's okay, as long as it's not anything that can screw you or the relationship over, privacy is necessary

Probably has a lot of secrets surrounding dumb or embarrassing stuff hes done before and during the relationship

Tunes-

Obligatory I have a funky sense of music and while I want to choose a song that fits the time period of the main show to the decades before I'm a bit lost. Also I dont generally listen to love songs/songs that can be passed off as ones if you squint. So you guys get 2 songs that give me knubbler x (reader/oc insert) vibes

And

Upset-

When Knubbler is upset he shuts himself off and tries to get over whatever funk hes in, usually a glass or two is involved

Occasionally he'll seek you out for comfort or validation

If you're the one upset he's already lending you an ear and offering a shoulder to lean on (metaphorically and literally), gets mad on your behalf if someone upset you and offers solutions if it was something else

I like to think that you guys dedicate nights for venting and unloading on drama and bullshit. Like two gossiping moms

Valentine-

He is not holding back

You wake up to breakfast and gifts. He takes you out all day for shopping, you guys come home to get ready for dinner and a movie

Things definitely get.. intimate

But this is a SFW blog so I am not going to elaborate

Wedding-

If there is a wedding you guys make sure it's straight out of a storybook; dream wedding basically

Since he's not too worried about getting married I'd assume it makes sense that he lends most the power to you when it comes to decorating

Xray-

Urges you to communicate your feelings outwardly and verbally since hes not a mind reader, but he does pick up on certain behaviors to give him a general idea of how you're feeling

He doesn't want to push too hard, though, so he tries to offer an environment where there's open communication

Yearning-

Stealing this from my friend but hc that Knubbler actually would not know how to react to someone genuinely having an interest in him, at least in the beginning

Like he knows he's not the ugliest or the most horrible person but he doesnt think hes a heartthrob

So when you come along and actually get him to sit and settle down with someone he kinda. Doesn't know how to feel about being on his own/seperated

Like he can still function but hes finding himself thinking about you a lot; from wondering how your day is to things he wants to tell you when you guys are reunited

Zzz-

As mentioned before he loves cuddling so be ready for him to hold onto you

Prefers soft and light covers compared to heavier ones

Probably yoinks the blanket while he's sleeping

Probably snores

Bonus hc I think his robo eyes can be taken out, like for charging and he has a lil case for them. Has a sleeping mask so nothing gets into his sockets + he understands how it looks to others (especially if they wake up half asleep in the dark and arent used to the empty sockets yet)

Different Kind of Love || Part III

Pairing: CEO! MobBoss! Natasha Romanoff x Assistant! Reader (Platonic)

Summary: Working for Natasha was never easy and being a low-level assistant for the CEO wasn’t where you thought you’d be after working your hardest for 2 years. After catching you in tears on Christmas Eve, Natasha cold ways start to warm up.

Dark Themes | Language Warning | Mentions of Stalking | Mentions of Sexual Assault | Details of Torture | K | 

Notes: Dylan’s dialog is meant to sound like how a 5-year-old would talk and his nickname is Dyl and not a misspell. 

Different Kind of Love Masterlist

Dylan slept peacefully beside you, the Rugrats playing softly on your TV. He fell asleep hours ago, from snuggling with you to being spread out on your bed with this stuffed dinosaur clutched tightly to his chest. The time on your phone read 3:41 am, your thoughts keeping you from getting a wink of sleep. The photo of Dylan running through the park that was sent to you by Kane had you thinking about how long he'd been watching your son, watching you. 

You thought being in New York would've been safe, too big for Kane to come looking for you both. This wasn't the first time you had to move cities to escape Kane. At Dylan's first birthday party, Kane and a few of his friends showed up to the park and demanded that you allowed him to have a relationship with Dylan. Money was tight and you couldn't afford a lawyer, Kane started stalking you. He used his mates to keep watch over Dylan, you were always followed and felt unsafe. Since moving to New York, you didn't feel watched or followed, it was safe. 

8:17am, Dylan walked into this bedroom, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "Mommy what are you doing?" he asked when he saw you placing some of this clothing in a suitcase. "Good morning sleepy head" you turned around to the young boy and smiled softly before walking up to him and scooping him up in your arms, "We're going to go on a little trip" you kissed his warm left cheek. "Where mommy?" his tired eyes looked at you, "it's a surprise" you smiled softly not exactly knowing where you planned on going. 

"Can Nat come with us?" 

"No, baby, it'll just be you and mommy, okay?" you gently brushed his bed hair out of his face, "How about you go pick out 5 of your favourite toys to take and I'll make you some breakfast" you added. Dylan nodded, "okay mommy" he smiled softly as you placed him back on his feet. You watched as he walked over to his toybox and started shifting through the small mountain of toys he had. "Can I take my robot dog that Santa gave me?" he asked just as you were walking out of the room, "of course darling". 

You made Dylan some toast with honey, a kid sized glass of apple juice and a small side bowl of cut up banana, apple and orange. "Mommy, can I draw Nat a picture before we go on?" Dylan asked as he squirmed into his seat, eager to fill his starving belly. "Uh, sure" you nodded, "we can drop it off at mommy's work on our way. Eat up honey, I'm just going to go finish packing your things" 

----

10:39am. 

Dylan held your hand tightly as you both walked into the office. A few co-workers liked to come in on weekends to finish up on urgent tasks, so it was unusual to see a few heads in the cubicles. "Y/n, Dylan, it's a Saturday what are you guys doing here?" You heard Natasha's voice come from behind you. She stood with a worried look with a mug of coffee keeping her hands warm. 

"We're going on a trip!" Dylan boosted, "I wanted to give you a drawing before we left" he added with a smile. Natasha looked at you and squinted her eyes slightly, "A trip sounds fun, where are you going?" She asked Dylan, her eyes slowly moving to look at him. "Mommy says it's a surprise" you smiled softly at Dylan's replied hoping to keep a concerned boss from questioning the sudden plans. 

Natasha placed her coffee of the nearest desk before she kneeled to Dylan and gave him a two-dollar bill, "You'll need a snack for your trip, why don't you go get one from the venting machine" she smiled softly. "Thank you, Nat!" Dylan didn't hesitate to take the bill and skip his way to the venting machine. 

"Can I see you in my office for a moment?" Natasha looked at you, reading your entire body language. "We have to get going, it's a long drive" you watched as Dylan grabbed a chair to stand on, "Be careful Dyl!" you called. "It wasn't a question, Y/n." Natasha spoke sternly as if you were a student in trouble, her head gestured to her office. With a sigh and a last glance at your son, you walked into Natasha's office, she closed the door quietly behind the two of you. 

"What's going on?" she asked. 

"Nothing? I just want to take Dylan to see my parents, it's been a while" 

"Without taking any leave? Without letting me know?" Natasha frowned slightly, she noticed your hands shaking ever so slightly and the worried look in your eyes. "What's going on?" she asked again, this time with more worry in her tone. You sat down blinking the tears from your eyes as Natasha took the seat across from you. "If this is about my absence, I'm really sorry" 

"It's not" you looked at her, "He wants Dylan, he came to my apartment last night….he said he's getting a lawyer….Natasha, I can't afford a lawyer….I can't let him take my boy" you explained as you looked into her eyes. Natasha handed you a tissue, "What's his name?" she asked reaching for her laptop on her desk. "Kane Lowes" you mumbled as you used the tissue to wipe your tears, "he's been watching Dylan in the park, he sent me a photo text last night" 

"Don't say another word" Natasha stopped you, "I'm sorry…" you looked at her slightly confused on her change of tone, her eyes were glued to her laptop screen and a frown. "W-what is it?" you asked. 

"Dear Miss Romanova,

My name is Kane Lowes and I'm coming to you for help with my son who I haven't seen since his first birthday. 

The mother of my son has refused to allow me access to see him since he was born. She has moved from serval states to avoid letting me have any form of connection with my son, she is never home with him, and he is constantly being looked after by a sitter. I have no way of contacting his mother and I do not know if my son is being looked after properly. 

The one time I had seen my son was at his first birthday party at a local party near his mother's parents' home. There she refused to allow me to even say a simple hello to my child and had her father remove me from the surroundings. 

I understand you the one of the best lawyers in New York City which is where I believe my son is now living. 

I'm requesting full custody and I'm hoping you will be able to help. I just want to have a growing connection with my child, if I had a photo of him I would attach it to this email for you to see but unfortunately I don't even have that. 

If you can't help me, could you please refer me to a lawyer who can help. 

Kind regards, 

Kane Lowes" 

Natasha looked at you, "he's asked me to be his lawyer, I got this email last night".

"P-please tell me you haven't replied" your heart sunk. 

"I'm sorry, I didn't know who he was, and it seemed like an easy case to have one those guys out there do it"

Tears filled your eyes once more, "I have to go" you stood up as Dylan opened the door. "Dylan do mind giving me and mommy a moment to chat?" Natasha looked over at the door and gave him a friendly smile, the young boy nodded and closed the door. "I have to go Natasha, we can't stay" you panicked when Natasha gently took your hands into hers. 

"He isn't going to take him; do you understand me? We have a case against him. Do you still have that text message he sent you?" she looked into your eyes as you nodded slowly, "Good. We can used that against him as well" 

"But you've already taken his case…and I can't afford to pay you" more tears filled your eyes at the thought of losing your son. Nat chuckled slightly, "Do you think I'd allow you to pay me? Y/n, he assaulted you. No judge or jury is going to allow him any form of custody, I promise. I'm going to call him and tell him that there was a mistake and Romanova Lawyers will not be taking his case" Natasha's words started to calm you down, "Promise me you and Dylan won't run. I'm not going to allow him to take Dylan, I promise you" she adds. 

Wiping your tears, you nodded. "Good, now how about you go down to your car and get your luggage, I'll have my driver drop you and Dylan off at my condo. You guys can stay there until we deal with this" Natasha insisted, she saw the worry in your eyes, "There is security and he won't be able to step foot on the property" she assures you as you give her another nod.

Natasha showed you out of her office and waited until you had gotten in the elevator with Dylan before closing her office door and walking over to her desk, unlocking her bottom drawer to pick up an old mobile. 

"Bucky, it's Nat. I need you to do something for me. Find out whatever information you can about a Kane Lowes, I'll text through an email address and phone number" she intrusted with a stern tone. "Ooo, a little cat and mouse game" Natasha could hear the smirk forming on his lips, "just information Barnes. I'll be in contact when I can" Natasha hung up the call and placed the mobile back in its drawer. 

----

Natasha's condo was bigger than anything you could picture for yourself. With 7 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, an exercise room, 2 pools, a spa, a cinema room, a small half basketball court with a single ring, a gaming room, a private Terrance and a beautiful view of Central Park, you felt like you were dreaming. Dylan's jaw dropped when he saw the indoor heated pool, "Do you want to go swimming after lunch?" Natasha asked, seeing the excitement in the boy's eyes. 

"Please mommy!" Dylan looked up at you, his hand in yours while Natasha was giving you both the grand tour. "I didn't pack your bathing suit honey, maybe another time" you hated to disappoint after seeing the pout on his tiny lips.

 "Don't sweat it, I'm sure I have an old pair of Nathaniel's old bathing suit lying around that should fit him"

"Are you sure? You've already done more than enough for us; Dylan will be happy with his toys and a movie" you look over at Natasha. "I have all this space; it'll be nice to have somebody enjoying the pool again" she replied with a soft smile. 

After lunch which was kindly prepared by Natasha's personal chef, you joined Dylan in the heated pool keeping him on the shallow end of course. "Look Mommy!" Dylan giggled proudly as he paddled over to you with floaties on his arms, "I can kick my legs!" he added before the splashing started. "You're doing so good, honey!" you held your arms out for him to swim to you. "Looks like your pro little man!" Natasha entered the room gently clapping her hands at Dylan. 

"Watch me, Nat!! Mommy showed me how to swim!" 

"I'm watching!" Nat smiled softly walking over to you by the pool. "I have to duck out for a few hours, I'll be back before dinner. You two make yourselves at home" she whispered as Dylan swam around. 

----

"Bucky, I told you I just wanted information!" Natasha mumbled to Bucky as she stormed into the hidden warehouse, "Oh come on boss, we all know what you mean by that. Eventually you'd wanna track him down. I was just saving us the extra job" a cold smirk tugged at his lips before he so kindly pulled back the heavy door. Kane sat in a wooden chair, chained by his wrists and ankles. "You really need better listening skills!" Natasha shook her head before walking up to Kane. 

"Where the fuck am I?!" he squirmed in the chair, his voice muffled by the potato bag over his head. "Remove it" Natasha instructed Bucky as he made his way to stand behind Kane. To the left was a countertop already prepared with different tools and weapons neatly set out by Bucky. The bag was removed and instantly Natasha's eyes were met with the same blue eyes Dylan had. 

"What the fuck do you want?! Unchain me you crazy fuck!" Kane spat causing Natasha to chuckle slightly, "We're going to skip the whole 'who are you?' 'What do you want?' crap" her eyes glared deeply at the young man. "Who put you up to this?! Come on, bitch tell me! Is it money that you want?!" Kane squirmed more, pulling at the chains that had left their imprint on his skin. 

"I don't need your money, besides, if I wanted it I would already have it" Nat replied as she walked over to the countertop and picked up the red nail gun. "T-then w-what do you w-want with me?!" Kane's asked in a stutter when Natasha turned around to face him with the gun in her right hand. "We're going to have a little chat" Nat walked up to Kane never letting her eyes leave his, "and if you lie to me, I'm going to nail you to this fucking chair. You can scream as much as you like, nobody will hear you. Once I've used every nail in this gun, I will move onto the next little toy I have. So what's it going to be Kane?" she added with a smirk before looking up at Bucky as he puffed on his cigarette.

"How the hell do you know my name?!"

"I ask the questions, you answer. Got it? Now let's start with the elephant in the room. What do you want with Dylan?" 

"Who the hell is Dylan!?" Kane spat in reply, "I don't know any Dylan!" he added. 

Bucky laughed loudly behind Kane as Natasha took a few steps closer to Kane, "N…n-no I swear! I don't know a D-Dylan!" He stuttered when the nail gun was pressed against the top of his hand. "Liar" Natasha pressed the trigger, forcing a rusted nail through his hand. Kane screamed out in pain and squirmed pulling more at his chains. "Do you want to try that again?" Nat gripped his jaw and forced him to look at her, "What do you want with Dylan?" 

----

You smiled softly when you noticed that Dylan had fallen asleep on the large sofa in the cinema room, worn out from all the swimming and excitement of the large condo. You placed a kiss on his soft cheek and overed him with a throw blanket leaving him to nap. Curiosity got the better of you as you walked the one of the 5 floors to Natasha's condo, photos of her with what you assumed were her friends and family hanging on the walls. She looked happy as the photos went on down the hall. 

It made you wonder how Natasha could afford such a place like this with just being a lawyer and a private detective on the side, her office was plastered with certificates from law school, university, and recognition certificates for her work. The bookcase was full of all types of books covering topics she knew all so much about. 

"Excuse me Miss" the maid kindly spoke while standing in the doorway of Natasha's home office, "The bedrooms for you and your son are now ready and the chef wanted me to let you know that dinner will be ready in 35 minutes" she added. 

"Oh, thank you so much…uhm…which floor are the rooms on?"

"The 5th floor ma'am" she smiled and walked away accidently dropping her keys. "Miss!" you picked them up as she turned around, "you dropped these" you smiled softly holding the keys with a red hourglass symbol keyring catching your attention. "I've seen this before, spray painted on parts of the city. Do you know what it means?" You asked as the maid kindly took the keys from your hand. "That is Miss Romanova's business logo, she takes great pride in it" The maid smiled, "I must continue my work, is there anything else I can get you?" she added. 

"No, thank you" 

You put Dylan to bed not long after dinner, tucking him in as he snuggled his stuffed toy. "Goodnight angel" you whispered before placing a soft kiss on his forehead and leaving the room with the door closed over. "Did he go down well?" Natasha's voice made you jump, "gosh! You scared the shit of me!" You placed a hand over your heart. 

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean too" Nat chuckled quietly, careful not to wake Dylan. "Are you up for the glass of wine I offered?" She asked with a smile. "Sure, I have some questions" you playfully winked before following the redhead to the roof Terrence. "Questions huh? Well now I feel a little intimidated" Nat chuckled.

Was Not The Hero / Not What You Expected Questions and Responses Part 5(I think, lol)

Does Philip know any other languages?

Response: I say no, he just knows english in my fanfics

2. How would the other canon characters react to this Philip?

Response: At first, they would be paranoid and believe he's trying to trick them all. I think the only way for them to believe he's changing would be canon Gus jumping into his mind, or everyone as well, to confirm the truth. Once they realize he is indeed changing, then it would definitely be a hard thing for them to digest and I would probably have to take some time into thinking how exactly each one would react : o

More questions and responses:

3. Was Philip considered a weirdo as a kid?

Response: For sure. In my fanfic, he would wear the mask to school too, hahaha, but that's cause he was a shy kid and had trouble making friends with others so he would use the mask to kind of 'shield' him from others

4. Was Philip punished because he looked girlier?

Response: There will be some flashbacks on that soon : )

5. Does Philip know how to use a gun?

Response: I say yah, Alexander taught him how to use one

6. I love how you gave Willow and Hunter more interactions than canon did

Response: Aww, thanks : ). I'm for sure going to try to give them more interactions between one another. It is rather difficult since I don't have much to go with, but that's okay, I'll see what i can do o.o

7. In Not What you expected” would Philip face racism for being a demon in the boiling isles?

Response: Of course : )

8. How would Philip react to being called a Gilf? If he knew the meaning?

Response: if he knew the meaning, he would probably give his famous shock wide eyed response and say nothing, hahaha

9. Would Caleb try to sketch out Philip in his monster form only for Philip to try to help him draw better and maybe bonding as a result?

Response: In the 'Not what you expected?", if so, then nope : o

10. Is Philip Tickilish?

Response: I say not anymore, but as a kid he was

11. ”And I’m Home” from Madoka Magica fits Philip and Silas relationship? Most notably the lyrics of translate from English

Response: That's a good song and I think yah it fits them : )

12. Does Philip Curse extends to everywhere on his body including his private parts?

Response: Hummmm, hahaha, i guess? Lolol

13. Does Philip know math and Physics if so can he be a teacher?

Response: Oh yeah, he excels at such things and he can be a good teacher : )

Questions I can't answer cause of spoilers:

In “Not What you Expected “ would Philip possess someone in the story like Caleb,Alexander, or the Minister?

Would Caleb get in trouble for hiding Philip inside his house in “Not What you Expected” like say Caleb is trying to lure Philip out and he gets hunted down and captured by the witch hunters, upset that Caleb betrayed him Philip blurts it out in anger about how he betraying him this in turn cause Caleb to either be tried as a witch for consorting with a demon, and in turn leads them into the boiling isles?

”In Not What you Expected” would Philip call himself Belos towards the townsfolk and witch hunters if he gets caught by them and tries to escape?

”In Not What you expected” can Philip do glyph magic and show it to Caleb?

TXT minisode 3: Tomorrow review

Imo, their first minisode is excellent and one of my favorite TXT albums, but lately their albums are only mediocre - the tts are catchy and solid, but the bsides are generic and lack TXT's initial charm.

I'll See You There Tomorrow - the choreo is fun and 100% something BTS would do. The track is nice and light, albeit a bit repetitive; vocals sound decent, but some of the low notes are unpleasant (eg. Soobin's). TXT are not strong vocalists and I find myself noticing that more and more. 7.5/10

Deja Vu - this track grew on me a lot. It's catchy and the choreo is good (very early BTS coded). I used to love Taehyun's voice, but sadly I think it sounds strained and kind of whiny now. He reminds me a lot of Jungkook though, especially lately (re: his stage presence and dancing). Imo Taehyun suits the center position pretty well, and they're doing well giving him some of Yeonjun's center time and dance breaks. Soobin and Beomgyu's voices are very limited and sound really weak imo. Yeonjun's voice sounds the best to me lately - he has the fullest, most natural sounding voice, as well as the most versatile and catchy. Hueningkai's tone has never been pleasant to me - it sounds kind of muffled, but he's a capable singer. 8/10

Miracle - kind of an annoying song tbh, very Avril Lavigne. There really isn't much to say about it. 6.5/10

The Killa (I Belong to You) - this track is incredibly cringy. Hearing Soobin say "I want you to take me now" in the most innocent and flat tone is... well... I get that people think he's hot, and that's surely why they put him on this track, but Soobin is just not an expressive and versatile idol, except perhaps in variety content (I don't know enough to say). Moreover, this song has such a generic beat - it's so flat and by the book -, it's not sexy at all. They also don't have the vocals for it. Yeonjun does well, but why on Earth did they choose Soobin for this? Because he's the most popular and sexualized along with Yeonjun? Beomgyu is much better at pulling off sexy than Soobin, and their singing is kind of on the same level. 6/10

Quarter Life - more rock stuff, I really want TXT to drop this sound. Kai fits this genre well, but this track is annoying and genetic. Taehyun sounds strained too, unfortunately. Beomgyu has pretty much no lines... 6/10

Anyway, this minisode is okay, but imo TXT are very much hindered by weak vocals and awkward stage presence (and beyond). They're very popular, but they could probably be more popular. Imo, TXT lack the IT factor in many ways. Besides lagging behind in vocals and stage presence, they're not that funny or charismatic. I think they fall behind pretty much all other BIg4 bgs (+ other popular bgs). I'm being "objective" about it, since TXT are certainly not going to read this, but I kind of question how Hybe put the group together. They're maybe the only boy group I found boring on Jonathan's show. I often don't know any of the groups who go on that show that well, or at all, but end up finding them charming and funny - like "Ah, I get it. This is why fans like them". Not TXT. Every time I watch interviews or variety stuff I think they seem stiff, don't interact very well with each other, and their humor is off. Imo, that's why Enhypen and SKZ surpass TXT in terms of overall popularity. SKZ are great performers who sing live and now how to engage fans. Enhypen are much better singers than TXT overall, with better stage presence and capacity to draw in fans.

Anyway, this is my opinion, but TXT are a group with the potential to be greater - perhaps with a different lineup, or if they learn to make their "weaknesses" less obvious. TXT's appeal to me was always unique and unconventional music, but now that they've lost that and sound a lot more like a "normal" kpop group, I think their limitations have grown more pronounced.

Surely, most people will disagree with me, but anyway... I'm fond of the boys as a person, but as a consumer less so.

15 Questions for Copper

I have two tags from Breezy, so you get a Copper one and a Rune one, so all three of our mains will be taken care of. in honor of the efforts of my tagger, I'll try and make this one more creative than Jet's. tho. Jet's was always going to be straightforward. that's who he is. anyway. @blind-the-winds (sidenote: my playlist for you SLAPS)

Yarrow skips up to Copper, a notepad and pen clutched in his hands. "I have a request!"

Copper eyes Yarrow over the rim of his coffee-to-go cup. "Am I so favored that you're going to draw me?"

"No." Yarrow taps the pen on his arm. "I mean, sure. I can draw you, if you want. I like it to be spontaneous, and the vibes to be so bright they're sparking at me, you know? Right now I have a different request."

"Okay." Copper perches on the arm of Moss' couch. "What is it?"

"First of all, do not sit on the arm. Moss will make you clean the garage if you do that. Second, and more importantly," Yarrow continues as Copper moves down to the cushions with a disgruntled sigh, "I would like to interview you."

Copper frowns up at him. "Didn't you already interview Jet?"

"Yes," Yarrow says impatiently, "and he was terrible. I should've anticipated it. It was too boring to use. Please help me out!"

"Okay." Copper pulls his feet up and then stops to kick off his shoes when Yarrow gives him a look. He situates himself on the couch, cross-legged.

"Okay!" Yarrow sits beside him, pen poised to write down the answers.

1. Are you named after anyone?

"Not as far as I know. I think Jet and I were named after 'objects of middling value to keep us grounded' or that could just be the excuse my parents gave to people who asked."

Yarrow scribbles that down. "Jet didn't say anything about that."

"Are you surprised?"

"No."

2. When was the last time you cried?

Copper sips his latte. "Last week, I guess, when Jet and I had another discussion."

"About how he's allowed to feel things?"

"Yeah."

3. Do you have any kids?

Copper just raises a brow.

"It's in the questions! I didn't pick them, I just ask them."

"No."

Yarrow writes "NO" on his pad. "Would you?"

Copper scratches gently at the skin on his wrist. "Maybe."

4. Do you use sarcasm?

"Sure, you've heard me use it. Mostly with Jet and Jet 2.0."

Yarrow eyes Copper curiously. "Honestly I think she shares just as many similarities with you."

Copper chews on his cheek.

6. What’s your eye color?

"Golden-y brown, if I'm allowed to be specific."

"You are. I think they're a pretty dark gold, though."

"Let me have this."

7. Scary movies or happy endings?

"Happy endings, 100%. Real life has plenty of scares in it already."

"What scares have you faced?" Yarrow adds a checkmark for flair.

Copper looks at his latte. "Well. There was the whole being separated from my brother for no discernable reason."

Yarrow just nods slowly to that.

8. Any special talents?

"I like to think I have a knack for reading people, but it seems more like I'm just good at reading Jet." Copper looks at his latte again. "I'm pretty good at retaining what I read. And I can guess people's ages most of the time."

"You can get Hawk to socialize with the rest of us."

Copper chuckles without noise. "Is that a talent?"

"I'm counting it."

9. Where were you born?

"Here, but many, many streets away." Copper gulps at his rapidly cooling drink. "Haven't been back there in a while."

10. What are your hobbies?

"Do I even have any right now?"

Yarrow shrugs. "I thought it was the labor-intensive rehabilitation of Jet's emotional spectrum."

Copper exhales sharply. "You- really have a talent for hitting at situations, huh."

"I'm just observant." Yarrow half-smiles.

11. Have you any pets?

"No. Pets aren't my thing, anyway."

12. What sports do you play/have played?

Copper laughs for real this time. "Jet has tried everything with me. If it includes a ball or some kind of object in motion, he's attempted to teach it to me. I kinda took to basketball for a while, but it was only fun playing with Jet, since, you know, he's my height."

13. How tall are you?

"174cm."

"Is that how tall Jet is?"

Copper pouts. "He's 175 now, apparently. I thought it would bother me."

"It doesn't?"

"Only in the most superficial sense."

14. Favorite subject in school?

"History, which is ultimately why I studied anthropology. I just like looking at how humans dealt with being humans throughout the timeline. The things that changed. The things that never did. We're all still people, whatever time our stories happened, and we could never stop telling them."

Yarrow smiles as he writes. "You can be poetic when you want to be."

"Thanks, I guess."

15. Dream job?

"Honestly?" Copper leans against the couch, suddenly tired. "I don't know. All I think about these days is whatever Jet is up to, and that situation doesn't seem about to resolve swiftly. I can't think about long-term for me until I know what might happen in the short-term. The priority is not losing Jet again."

"That's not wrong, you know." Yarrow sets his notebook aside. "You don't have to have lofty dreams or super detailed goals. You can just live right now and treasure what you have. I mean. Time doesn't stop and you have to look forward sometime, but you're a forward looking person by nature. I think it's good for you to look at right now."

Copper turns his head into the couch. "And you're a person who always looks at right now."

"I look at the spectrum," Yarrow corrects. "I just always choose to look at right now because that's what I want to. I could learn from you."

"We can learn from each other, then," Copper says, just a little breathless.

Yarrow reaches out to hold Copper's hand. "We absolutely can."

I'm a little late to this, so if there's anybody who hasn't done this yet, OPEN TAG! and uh @enchanted-lightning-aes @nopoodles @mel-writes-with-her-dragons @sarahlizziewrites @rains-inky-mind ?

Chapter 9 - The only heaven I'll be sent to is when I'm alone with you

"Dude, did you get into trouble again last night?" Alis shakes his head. "He screamed at you."

"Yes," you say simply, and help him adjust the arm piece so it slots in. "Or...no, not actually. It was all an act. Or else what other reason does he have to keep visiting my cell every night?"

"I mean," he sighs, "I guess. Or you could just…not care and let people think what they want."

You make a sour face. "I don't think he wants people to take him any less seriously so he can still do his job during the day."

"Yeah, I don't think he has to worry about that." Alis glances across the room where Kino is glaring at table 2.

"Seriously, he's terrifying. I don't care how lovey dovey you two are, I wouldn't say shit to him." Taybus adds over helping Edii fight with their own piece.

"Kino isn't the type of guy to let disobedience get very far." Jevid says from across the table, and you call on every ounce of your inner strength and willpower not to react to that statement. "But for what it's worth, I don't blame him for wanting to keep it private. He's also a private man."

Threl laughs, "You can say that again. It probably drives him nuts that we all know."

"So he yells sometimes when you are in trouble, and sometimes when you are not?" Edii looks thoughtful. "How do you know the difference?"

You falter with your wrench. "I guess it depends on if I fuck up first or not."

"So is only trouble when you deserve it." He says confidently.

"Yeah, like that I guess."

"I agree with Alis." Threl passes his hanging drill back to Jevid to be hooked back up. "Who cares what conclusions people draw? They already talk about you since you keep getting your ass reamed." He straightens up, "So to speak."

"Do they all think he hates me too?" You choose to ignore the ass reaming comment.

Threl hesitates as he looks at you. "Well, some of them do…"

"The rest think it's only a matter of time before you're fucking." Alis finishes for him. Sorrek sighs next to him, but doesn't say anything or even blush, and you're very proud of him. "I haven't heard anyone say they think you are fucking, if that helps."

"Shit," you huff. "That's probably my fault."

Taybus snorts. "You think? When I said I thought he hated you, I did not mean I thought the feeling was mutual."

"Listen!" You protest, but you know you have no defense so you just mutter to yourself.

"And us old fuckers that saw how he reacted to you don't care enough to gossip. That's your business." Jevid groans as he stretches.

"You good, old man?" Threl eyes him.

"Yeah, working so hard yesterday killed my back." He does a stiff, twisting stretch, using the table as leverage. "Don't think we're getting first today. We're over a rack down."

You give him a sad look. "Oh, Jevid! I'm so sorry."

"Don't you go feeling sorry for me, now. I haven't had the good shit in a while. It was worth it." He grunts as he straightens back out. "You just enjoy your misspent youth in here as much as you can."

"Well, we deserve a break. Once we're all rested up, we can kick table 3's ass again." You grin.

"Hear, hear!" Taybus salutes you with his wrench.

"Second place is still pretty good," Sorrek finally speaks up and gives you a timid glance. "He has to be happy with that, right?"

"He will be," you say confidently. "First was just an exciting accomplishment for us. And now we know we can manage it and will want to work for it." You shake your head. "It's pretty devious, actually. He got us all working our asses off."

"I'm always down for working for that first place payoff!" Taybus sighs happily as he reminisces.

"Me, too, Taybus. Me, too." You grin at him. Alis reaches a hand out without looking and you give him a high five.

"Gross," Taybus mumbles.

"Clear!"

Later that night, you notice Taybus hovering outside of your cell after dinner while you're picking at your teeth to get the taste of regular mush out of your mouth. Not directly in front of it, but off to the side, and he keeps glancing over and fidgeting anxiously. You sigh from your bench and spin to face him with your legs hanging over the edge.

"What can I do for you, Taybus?"

He looks up at you abruptly, like he wasn't expecting you to notice him. Stealth and subtlety are not his strong points.

"What??" He looks startled.

"You need something." You gesture to the wall between the cells. "Have a lean."

"How did you know?"

"You…you can't be serious." You roll your eyes at him. "Get your ass over here."

He scurries over, his lanky frame hunched in nervously, like he's still trying to be sneaky.

"Now out with it." You cross your arms and wait patiently.

"How did," he shifts, clearly uncomfortable, "how did you get Kino to notice you?"

"Notice me?"

"Yeah, like, think about you…like that."

You lean back on your bench in surprise. Wait. Is he coming to you for dating advice? Not Alis, not Threl, you. You're oddly touched.

"Do you want the honest to God answer? Because it might not apply to your situation." He hesitates, like he just realized coming to you meant he has to listen to this, and you sigh with exasperation. "Look, I know our whole dynamic in here is like some fucked up fishbowl where we were all forced together whether it turned out okay or not. I know we tease you relentlessly, mostly because you make it really easy, but at the end of the day, I'm just a woman in the same fucked position you are. And Kino is just a man that puts on a tough face because he has to. Mostly. So if you want some advice or tips or something that badly, you have to reconcile that first. Okay?"

Taybus stares at you in thought, clearly processing everything you just said. And you wait because this is definitely going to take a hot minute. Finally he gives you a determined nod.

"Okay. I can handle it." He takes a deep breath to prepare himself. "Tell me how you got Kino to notice you."

"Alright," you nod with a sigh. "Well, it wasn't like I flirted with him or anything. I don't even know how you would go about flirting with Kino," you laugh. "Can you imagine? We just kept…having a reason to interact. I kept getting in trouble until he grabbed me and I guess sparks flew, I don't know."

Taybus purses his lips into a thin line, and you can tell he's fighting the urge to make a quip. And you'll take it because that's progress for him.

"My point is, we never would have gotten here if we hadn't interacted. So step one, do you even talk to this guy?"

He blushes and rubs the back of his neck. "A few times. He's there when several of us hang out down the hall so we kind of talk. Sort of."

"Okay, that's good! That's a start. Now you need to figure out a reason to talk to him individually. Find out more about him. See what makes him tick and appeal to that."

He groans. "I've never done that before!"

You consider him for a moment. "Taybus. Have you ever had a partner before?"

Taybus looks at the floor, his face red with shame. "No," he whispers. You feel an ache of sympathy for him because this first step into dating always sucks.

"It's nothing to be ashamed of. And anyone that tries to make you feel genuinely bad about it is an asshole."

"I've always liked guys and girls, and I've always been shit at talking to both."

"You get better with practice. And with thought. Because it's not just about making yourself appealing to someone else. Your confidence in your own appeal goes a long way."

You sound like a hypocrite right now because you hadn't had confidence in your own appeal to Kino. But you swear to god, if he had been any other man, you would have known you'd hooked him. He just throws you so far off balance all the fucking time. Then again, if he had been any other man, you wouldn't have been so interested.

"I don't have any appeal." He kicks at the metal floor with his bare foot.

"Okay. No, shut the fuck up. That's not true. You're hilarious and you're genuine. That's already two desirable traits for anyone worth a damn."

He shrugs. "It's easier to be those things with you guys. I don't like like any of you."

"First off, that's a relief. Second off, that's only because you got to know us. Talk with him. Let him get to know you and not just the cool guy act you put on."

He doesn't look convinced.

"You want me to pull Alis in on this? He and I can do recon for you. Get you some deets to work with."

He straightens up, suddenly interested. "You would do that for me?"

"Absolutely I would! Do you know how miserable it is waiting for Kino to show up in my cell? Fucking horrible. It'll give me something to do." You give him a teasing grin. "And I know Alis will also be eager for a distraction." You gently kick him in the thigh. "Plus, duh, of course we would be willing to do this for you, jeez. You work your ass off to get me laid. I can return the favor cause we're friends. And that's what friends do."

Taybus gives you a soft smile. It makes him look so young and vulnerable. You feel as though you're truly seeing every side of him, including the vulnerable side, for the first time.

You lean around him and whistle. A few men turn to look in your direction and one of them is Alis. You beckon him over excitedly so he's more likely to hurry. And when he takes in the two of you and your various expressions, you can tell you've peaked his interest. He quickly jogs down the hall.

"What's going on here? This some secret meeting? Who are we shit talking?"

"No one. You and I have a project."

He shifts his weight on his feet. He's stood a few feet away from you for literally half of your time in there. You can read the man like a book. You know he's sold without hearing details.

"I'm calling it operation get the kid laid. Very original. I thought hard about it. Definitely didn't make it up on the spot."

Taybus buries his face in his hands and Alis looks at him, impressed.

"Hell yes, my man!" He slaps him playfully on the shoulder.

"We gotta get details about…" You stop for a moment and look at Taybus. "Wait. Who is it?"

Taybus suddenly pales and looks around, shyly.

"We can't information gather if we don't know who it is." You chuckle. "We won't laugh, promise. Plus you all knew I made out with Kino less than twelve hours after it happened. You think that wasn't mortifying? There's no room for shame at table 7."

"She's right. If she can handle everyone knowing Kino makes her moan thanks to Edii, you can tell us who you've got the hots for. You know we'll keep our mouths shut."

"It's Vage at table 1," he mumbles.

"I fucking knew it." You jump down off your bench and land in the hallway. "That's why you thought you saw him checking me out! And sounded all jealous about it."

"I was not jealous!" He protests.

"You were too! Even though he totally wasn't checking me out, idiot." You roll your eyes at him.

"You didn't see him looking over at you at our table! I did!" He whines.

Alis starts laughing. "Bro, he's gay."

Taybus looks at him in shock. "What?! He is?"

"Yeah, he's mentioned ex boyfriends when we were all bullshitting once. He definitely wasn't checking her out." Alis grins.

"Okay! Okay. We got this." You clap your hands together. "And here I thought it was gonna be difficult!" Taybus makes a noise of protest at you. "I'm kidding! Just a joke."

"So how we doing this?" Alis leans in conspiratorially. "Set the bait now and then ask around later?"

"You read my mind. It's a classic for a reason. Let's go."

Taybus looks between both of you helplessly, but you ignore him and start to head down to the opposite end of the long hallway. After a few steps, Alis stops and turns back to Taybus.

"Bro, I love you and I don't say this to be mean, but one last bit of advice before we do this." Taybus leans in, eager to hear. "Lose the mustache. Seriously."

"Okay good, we're just ripping that bandage off now." You let out a relieved sigh.

Taybus looks between you as if he's trying to decide if you're serious or not. When your expressions don't change, he pouts. "Seriously??"

"Seriously." Alis crosses his arms. "Or at least let the bottom grow out instead of shaving it off. It would suit your face a lot better."

"I don't think it's gonna make much of a difference," he mumbles.

"You're not unattractive, Taybus." He gives you a doubtful look, so you press on. "Trust my opinion as a straight woman, just in a non creepy sort of way. Tie your hair back, too. It's gonna change your whole face."

"You think so?" He sounds unsure and you know he has never given much thought about his appearance before this or known what to do with himself. Which is probably why he keeps his hair in his face to begin with.

"Definitely." You and Alis say in unison.

"And hey, if you try it and you don't like it, you can always grow it back. But you might surprise yourself." You lightly punch his shoulder. "Maybe a change will be the confidence boost you need!"

"Alright." He sighs. "Now just, whatever you're about to do, don't embarrass me."

You pretend to be offended. "Embarrass you?? I'm smooth as fuck. You think I would have landed that hot piece of ass if I wasn't?" You point to where Kino's having a conversation with an older man from table 5 a few cells down. He has his arms crossed and he's frowning, which makes him look like a grumpy old man. Taybus looks even more nervous as he stares over at him. "Okay, fair," you sigh. "At least trust in Alis."

With that, the two of you head down the hall to congratulate Table 1 on their third place victory today. The conversation turns into a friendly rivalry between the first and last table in the line up, which, despite your reasons for being there, actually happens pretty naturally. You can see why the rest of your pod likes chatting with table 1. When they say they're taking second tomorrow, Alis wishes them luck because "Taybus has been working his ass off to carry the group." You nod in serious agreement next to him when a few of them look doubtful. Vage isn't one of them, you notice. In fact, he perks up a bit when he hears Taybus's name.

'Taybus, you oblivious idiot,' you think to yourself. This is definitely going to be easier than you thought.

During the entire conversation, you can feel Kino's eyes on your back. And it's not just because you put your hands on your hips so you could pull the material of your pants taut over your ass for him, either. You know he's probably curious as to what's going on, and maybe a little bit concerned as well. As if you have a knack for getting yourself in trouble or something.

12) What sports do you play/have played ?

I played soccer in primary school for a bit then stopped when my mom didn't ask me if I wanted to play even tho I did but I was too scared to ask for some reason. And then when I moved to Australia, the school I went to had winter sport be compulsory so I chose soccer again. Played it until the pandemic hit and the school was like after the first lockdown ended "oh well we don't know if we'll be playing matches but sign up and we'll give you more info" nah fuck that gimme the info now. Haven't played since. But I do capoeira now :) which I also did while in the states and took a break from. Good shit got training tonight

Back in the US it was french for a bit cuz my teacher was super nice. I was also definitely her favourite but whatever (dw I wasn't a teacher's pet or anything who reminded her about unassigned homework). Music was also good cuz all we did was just learn songs for the school fair. Then in Australia it was also french but because it was super fucking EASY and I didn't have to study. And also after y9, maths cuz I actually understood shit with the help of a legend of a teacher and a godlike tutor

15) Dream job ?

Visionswitcher/mixer or film/tv editor :)

Happy Birthday to my First Mutual and kindred cat mama, @stygianoir!

(Side note, I am definitely not awake, cause I'm like 80 years old, and it's 3 in the morning here, but I wanted you to get this right away)

Anywho, You have some new messages on that phone that Idia made for you. I've transcribed them here so you can read them.

You have 7 unheard messages. Thursday, 12 am.

"Mademoiselle Trickster, it is truly a great agony that our birthdays are separated by a mere day. Just imagining the two of us drawing our first breaths under the same star! Ah! It sends a shiver down my spine. But it matters not, for soulmates will find each other no matter what. Have you any idea how deeply you have ensnared your hunter's heart? Non, Mon ange, for if you had any idea it would make you a cruel mistress. Today on the day that you have blessed this world with your life, I fully intend to show how deeply I adore you. Be ready for me."

Thursday, 3 am.

"I just finished this game that reminded me of you, and I remembered it's your birthday today. You know how I feel about you lmao, but just thought I'd call you to say Happy Birthday since I won't be in class irl today. Ortho is gonna give you your gift at some point, so look out for him. And I know you wanted to go to a cat cafe with me to celebrate, but I programmed a vr thing that we can do in my room instead so…yeah."

Thursday, 10 am.

"I know it's your birthday, my sweet potato, but you better not be sleeping the day away. Come to Pomefiore after classes, I'd like to pamper you for your special day. I've bought your favorite colors in nail polish, and the face mask I've picked out is the best on the market. I won't let you leave until you feel relaxed and are glowing, so be prepared. I'm ready to serve your every need today, sweet potato. You only need to ask."

Thursday, 3:15 pm.

"I know we just saw each other, but I wanted to make sure my favorite puppy is having a great birthday. I'm sure you're swamped with your other admirers today, but that doesn't excuse you from coming to see me. I expect you in my office at your earliest convenience to come pick up your gift. Don't keep your master waiting, or I shall be forced to retrain you. Unless that is what you want. I'm a very giving master. The choice is yours, pup."

Thursday, 4:26 pm

"Can I speak now? (Muffled background conversation) Are you sure that's the beep she was talking about? (Muffled laughing sounds) I forgot where I was supposed to speak into it." "Right here, my Lord." (Tapping sound) "And then I press this button?"

Thursday, 4:31 pm.

"My child of man! I lost you for a moment there, and I was very worried. The woman talking on your phone did not give very clear instructions. I wanted to wish you the happiest of birthdays, my queen, and remind you that that immortality potion I offered you is ready whenever you are. I am patient, but I would like for us to be able to celebrate together for an eternity. I have left your present on your doorstep. In it, you will find my favorite necklace from my treasury, and a shiny stone that I thought you would enjoy. If you have time today, I would like to show you a new ruin I discovered. We can go there this evening, and enjoy the stars together to end your special day. Then I can do the human thing that Lilia calls 'the move' so that we can huddle close together under the stars. I'll be waiting for you, my beloved."

Friday, 8 am.

"Prefect! I heard it was your birthday tod…yesterday. In all my generosity, I am allowing you to take today off of classes.  I know, I am too kind. To thank me, I expect you in my office within the hour, so that the two of us can spend your belated day together. I shall also treat you to a sweet at that new bakery in town. I am so magnanimous. Please make sure to leave your silly friends here. I rarely get to spend time alone with you, and they are not going to ruin this for me…us. I await your visit!"

End of Final Message. Beep.

Around 2000 Words. 18+ in places (those chapters will be marked as 'Mature / sexual content' just to be safe). Please inform me if you wish to be tagged or untagged from posts. If the text is in italics and orange it's Kirby's inner monologue. If the text is coloured but not in italics, it's either dialogue or a P.O.V change (P.O.V changes will be in bold and translated dialogue will appear in square [ ] brackets), Key below. Quick note on Geia's text colour: Yes I do know that as Greed she should be in yellow but I decided to colour the men's dialogue yellow so Geia was changed to be pink like the other women in the story outside of the main 8.

The Main 8: Damo - Bio. Vi - Bio. Billie - Bio. Geia - Bio. Kirby - Bio. Honey - Bio. Eli - Bio. Sara - Bio.

Gluttony's P.O.V:

"Why are we talking about how to hide a stiffy?" Kirby questions, raising an eyebrow as she looks at the shorter man, watching as his cheeks flush.

Eddie goes to speak, but covers his mouth and looks away from her, staring at the floor for a moment as he scratches his beard.

Kirby studies him for a second before looking over at the food, about to get up when she feels Eddie's hand touching her own, only for him to pull his hand away when she looks at him.

"I like your tattoos, especially the shamrock." Eddie whispers, pointing at the small, black shamrock tattoo on Kirby's right wrist.

"I got it when I was eighteen, that and the apple of discord on my back. Those were my first two, since then I've been adding two more every year."

"So you keep them small, to not take up all the space before you get another year older?"

"Exactly." She smiles softly.

The two spend the rest of the day, slowly, getting used to being around each other in the hotel room. Eddie listens as Kirby tells him about Wales, and the C.R.C and she grants Eddie the same amount of respect, when he talks about being an indie wrestler for nearly 20 years. By the time the sun starts setting the two are on the balcony, Eddie smoking a cigarette as Kirby sits at the small table next to the door, with her sketchbook in her lap and an empty can of Jack Daniels and coke on the table next to her, gradually sketching the city around them from where she sits.

"So, what are we gonna do about our sleeping arrangements?" She asks, not even looking up from her drawing.

Eddie chuckles softly, "Kid, we are gonna sleep next to each other. Back to back, like true independent wrestlers."

"Oh, okay, I'll sleep in what I'm wearing then."

"I'm not letting you sleep in jeans, no way, I'm not gonna touch you or anythin' like that. I want you to be comfortable, kid, I want you to be okay tomorrow morning."

"You go get settled first, I want to finish this sketch before I join you... if that's alright with you, of course."

"Fine by me, kid." Eddie says softly, patting Kirby on the head as he walks back inside.

After around 10 minutes, when Kirby assumes Eddie's asleep, she closes the balcony door, looking over at the bed and seeing Eddie already, at least half-asleep, in just his boxers. Seizing the opportunity to take in the image of how Eddie sleeps, her brain seizes the moment. Perhaps it's the can of Jack and coke giving me thoughts, or perhaps it's the bulge visible in Eddie's bright red boxer shorts, but the smut reading memories are flooding back and, sure as the sun will rise tomorrow, Belushi, Farley and Candy are being replaced with Eddie.

"Shit, God fucking damnit, no... no, I'm not allowed to think about these things." She mutters to herself, a little too loudly.

"You alright, kid?" Eddie grumbles, having woken up slightly upon hearing Kirby's form of self-discipline.

"I'm alright... it's just... you'd laugh if I told you." She murmurs, rubbing the back of her neck.

"I'll try not to laugh."

"I... used to read smut about John Belushi, and other such celebs, and seeing you nearly naked... well it brought up some thoughts, to say the least." She admits sheepishly.

"Oh," Eddie whispers, before smirking and winking at Kirby, "You wanna do a lil' somethin'-somethin'?"

"Don't tease me." Kirby groans, turning her back on Eddie as she goes into the bathroom.

"Tease you?" Eddie chuckles, "kid, I ain't teasin' ya... I'm serious, if you wanna see where this goes, we'll see where this goes." The sound of his voice gets closer to Kirby.

Kirby splashes her face with water, taking a deep breath as she grabs a towel to dry herself.

"I'm just sayin', I've been with a lot of women, and you... you aren't like any of them, but not in a bad way."

"I'm not Billie, I ain't Bienvenida Marino. I don't do one night stands... that might actually be why I've been a virgin, for so many things, for so long... the most I've ever done is kiss someone." Kirby explains, gasping when she feels Eddie's hands on her waist.

Eddie spins Kirby around to face him, locking eyes with her, "Let me teach you everything you never learnt in your teens, lemme guide ya, kid, we don't have ta fuck, but lemme show ya what the world is like, outside the ring... can I do that?"

"Teach me, please... show me what I've been missing out on. Hell, show me why Billie's so crazy about being intimate with people."

"I can't read her mind, but I can do this." Eddie whispers, his voice rough, but not hoarse.

Eddie's bright green eyes flicker, from Kirby's deep blue ones, to her lips, still painted a more golden shade of orange, he smirks and licks his lips, slowly moving in for a kiss and brushing his lips against hers gently, then going in for a second, more deep kiss; Kirby places her hands on his hips and slowly closes her eyes; She lets Eddie fully take control of the situation, which he does about as naturally as he flicks ash off a cigarette. The taste of his lips on hers takes over her mind, smoky and with a hint of alcohol from the (few) sips he had of her can of Jack and coke while they were talking earlier in the evening; Without warning Eddie starts manoeuvring Kirby towards the bed, slowly taking steps backwards until she falls back onto the bed.

She finally reopens her eyes, seeing Eddie standing above her with a wild grin on his face, Kirby gasps when Eddie pulls her back up to her feet, (unknowingly) giving him enough of a gap to slip his tongue into her mouth, making the kiss deeper and, for a moment, Kirby swears she can hear a guttural growl from the New Yorker.

In that moment something clicks in her head. Something she thought she would (normally) never think to do. She closes her eyes and gets closer to Eddie, making sure to get close enough, to feel his dick get harder in his boxers, right before he pulls away and she realises how close she just got to him.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me-" Kirby starts, quickly getting cut off by Eddie pulling her into a, much rougher, kiss by the belt loops of her jeans.

When Eddie pulls away their eyes lock again, and suddenly the (emotional) feeling within the room goes from awkward and unsure, to steamy and they know things can never go back to a simple, friendly relationship between the two of them.

"You wanna?" Eddie asks, raising an eyebrow as he looks at Kirby.

"Sex?... I've never even looked at anyone naked, except from myself." Kirby mumbles, slightly ashamed of her answer.

"Sex, making love, call it what ya want, but do you want to... do ya," Eddie takes a moment to collect his thoughts, taking a deep breath and blurting out, "do ya want me to be your first dick?"

Kirby lets out a nervous chuckle before taking her shirt off, "I will gladly have you as my first... Fuck, I'd take you as my first, last and only." She smiles softly, watching Eddie's eyes flicker, from her face, to her chest as she takes off her bra.

"Holy fuck..." Eddie whispers under his breath.

Somehow stopped in his tracks by Kirby getting naked, his eyes widen slightly and his jaw falls open, he takes in the sight of her, scars, tattoos and all as she stands back up, letting her hair down for once and walking up to Eddie, gently kissing his cheek. Kirby lets out a small noise of surprise as Eddie explores her body with his hands. She stops his left hand before it gets to her breast, guiding it towards her crotch.

"You consent to this, right, Kirby?" Eddie asks, his voice the softest it's been in a while.

"I give you my consent, Eddie... Edward, I want to do this with you." Kirby nods, moaning as Eddie teases her folds with his fingers, moaning louder when he removes his boxers and she sees what he's packing.

Holy fuck, how is that meant to fit inside me? Is the first thought that comes to her mind upon seeing his dick, followed swiftly by the thought, At least I didn't offer to suck it, cause that could hit my gag reflex and really fuck me over.

"Like what you see?" Eddie whispers in her ear, teasing her with both his words and his hands.

"Care to teach me how such a weapon is meant to be handled?" She teases back, or at least tries to, her tone nervous and unsure.

Eddie chuckles, laying down on the bed, gesturing for Kirby to straddle his lap, she complies and before she knows it, Eddie has her moaning loud enough that the people next door start banging on the wall, yelling for her to shut up, but as thick and fast as the obscenities can come from Kirby's lips, she reaches her climax and Eddie realises that her one round is half of his, and trying not to push her limits, he pulls out and wraps her hand around his cock, showing her exactly what to do to get him over the edge, her body still close enough that her stomach gets coated in the streams of his juices. Eddie goes to talk before falling silent as he watches Kirby take a taste of the cum now covering her, getting pulled into a very steamy kiss from him, biting her bottom lip and grabbing a handful of her ass, making her lay next to him as he goes to grab a towel to clean 'his girl' up.

His girl... throughout the whole of their first time together, he was calling her 'his girl', no longer Damien's property, no longer 'Kid', no longer just a co-worker. Eddie's girl... Eddie's girlfriend?

"Eddie?" Kirby clears her throat, unsure of if it's a good time to ask the question, "Eddie... am I, are we..." Her voice falters as Eddie cleans her up.

"Don't worry, I know what you're askin'... and yea, from now on, you and me are as together as Mox and Renee, but without the marriage or anything that comes with it." Eddie murmurs, lazily kissing Kirby to say 'goodnight' and curling up under the covers next to her, fully nude.

When Kirby wakes up the following morning, Eddie's outside in just his boxers and jeans, smoking a cigarette, and watching her through the window. He smiles once he notices she's awake, gesturing for someone to go into the room. At that moment Kirby notices Renee and Jon, sitting at the table (that has been moved) outside. Renee heads inside to let Kirby have a little privacy from both men, who could potentially see her wake up, nude and (still) coming to terms with how sore her thighs are from the night before.

It takes a grand total of, around, 20 minutes for Kirby to be up and ready for the day, heading outside to talk to her new, (and first ever) 'boyfriend', or as Renee insists on calling him 'Kirby's new hunk'. Eddie holds out his hand to her, or rather offers her what he's holding in his hand, a (still warm) cup of coffee from a local café, the same one they met at, the same order she told him that day too.

"Thanks... did you have a shave?" Kirby asks softly, slowly adjusting and, snuggling up to Eddie's side when he pulls her close to him.

"Gotta look good for my lady, had a little tidy up," Eddie mumbles, moving Kirby's hair away so he can kiss her scar, "You look real pretty when you sleep, so peaceful."

"I think you might be the cause of me being so peaceful... I didn't have any nightmares, or night terrors, barely even dreamt last night." She whispers, lowering herself slightly to be closer to be closer to his height.

Day 2: What's the earliest thing you can remember about your TC?

When I was in year 7, I remember him often walking in and out of my English class to talk to my English teacher. But my first proper interaction with him was when our teacher wasn't in so he watched our class from the hallway until a teacher came. I was at the back of the class, by the door, and he saw me reading and asked what I was reading. I was reading The Hate U Give and this was back when the movie had just come out so he asked if I had watched the film. I said no but he told me it was a really good film and recommended I should watch it. This happened years ago, we didn't even know each other's names and I didn't have a crush on him.

Day 3: Do you like your TC's subject? Do you think you're good at it?

He teaches English and English has always been my favourite subject. I do believe I am quite good at his subject. I've always gotten As (and one B) since he's taught me and two times he used my work as an example.

Day 4: How do you feel about your age gap?

There's a 15/16 year age gap between us and I know it's not good. If there was a chance between us, which I highly doubt, I think eventually I wouldn't enjoy being with a guy so much older than me a couple of years down the line.

Day 5: Have you ever said anything to your TC that showed you favoured them? Have they said anything like that to you?

My school does these termly things were students are allowed to send notes of appreciation to their teachers. I sent him note twice, but left them anonymous. However, I have a very distinct handwriting so he probably knew it was me. Before that, he sent me a letter home. He had chosen me as the English's department "Star of the term".

Day 6: Have you ever noticed any small habits they have?

Yes, he always bends his knees when talking to most students. Probably because he's quite tall so he's trying to get on our level, but I think it's quite cute.

Another habit he has is whenever he has a spare moment at the start of the lesson, he likes to put these little drawings on the whiteboard that relate to the lesson, even though he's no good.

Day 7: What gift would you like to give them?

I would love to find out some books he loves and maybe get him some special editions of them. He always does his marking in a green fountain pen so maybe I'd get him a set of fountain pens in all colours.

Day 8: Does your TC ever talk about what it was like when they were a student?

Occasionally. Everyone knows that he went to this really famous private school in the UK. He tells us about some of the strict rules and what his classmates were like.

Day 9: Does your TC have a significant other? If so what do you know about them and how do you feel about them?

He has a fiancée and literally no-one was expecting this so when he casually announced this, the whole class was shocked. My friends and I were doing some stalking and we thought we found his fiancée, but findings from other students say we're wrong. I don't know the woman so I can't form an opinion. All I know is that she's super lucky 😭

Day 10: What is the longest time you've gone without seeing them?

The Summer holidays - 6 weeks. I coped surprisingly well.

Day 11: What do other people usually think of them?

It's an objective truth in our school that he's one of the most attractive teachers in our school. However, a lot of people don't like his teaching methods and he doesn't get a long with a lot of the students in the younger years, so they can find him quite "jarring".

Day 12: Do you often make excuses to speak to them? What kind of excuses do you use?

No, I'm too shy. Maybe once in a while, I'll aks for something I could easily have handled myself or I'll get to class a little early to make general small talk. I do however make plenty of excuses to see him. Maybe taking a longer route to a certain class or hanging out in a specific place during break. My art classroom is close to his classroom, so I always leave my sketchbook in my art class and collect it at the end of the day in hopes of seeing him again.

Day 13: Other than the subject they teach, what are they really passionate about?

From what I can tell, he speaks French. He goes to France for holiday often. He follows a lot of French accounts on his socials, studied it at A-level and will often greet us in French. Whenever trying to teach us the etymology of words, he'll often draw from French words with similar meanings. That's ironic however because everyone in our class studies spanish, but I do speak a little bit of Frnech so I'm often the only one to understand what he's on about.

Day 14: What is a skill you really wished your TC had?

GOOD HANDWRITING.

The onky good thing about his terrible handwriting is that he's very self-aware so he'll come to you to read out his comments and explain.

Day 15: Which MBTI personality type do you think they have? (If you don't know MBTI, which Howarts house do you think they'd be placed in?)

I don't know the ins and outs of MBTI, but I think he'd be an introvert as appose to an extrovert. I think he would be a hufflepuff.

Day 16:

#april tc challenge

Harrow the Ninth, Chapter 21

(Curious what I'm doing here? Read this post! For detail on The Locked Tomb coverage and the index, read this one!)

(Slashed Sixth House icon) In which I get very sad at a reminder.

Rain and fog invade Canaan House. Harrow at first trusts her hood and veil to keep her dry, but soon it becomes nearly impossible to dry what becomes wet. She is resigned to accepting Ortus trailing her at all times, holding one of the ancient umbrellas Teacher and the priests unearthed. The rain going PLUT gives Harrow's hallucinated symphony of voices a "fertile ground" in which to grow more noticeable and annoy her. A new background wail sounds "for all the world like the mewling of a newborn baby."(1)

Teacher says it's months too early for the rain, "And this fog … I guess I might as well die," he adds.(2) Harrow finds this jest in poor taste, after the second round of deaths.

Camilla and Pal now lay dead,(3) their faces obliterated by gunshots, their bodies identifiable only by context clues. Flesh magicians to examine the remains are hard to find. The Tridentarius twins have been making themselves so scarce, Harrow struggles to remember when she last saw one. So it is that Dulcinea Septimus(4) has to identify the body of the man who invented the pulmonary drain making her breathe a little easier than she looks like she ought, and his cav.

"Dulcie" establishes their identities and that it was probably the same assailant that killed Judith. Ortus suggests that the Sleeper should have been called the "Waker" instead,(5) and asks what they can do against such a foe. Dulcinea suggests they should fight the Sleeper. Her cav, Protesilaus, agrees, saying they should muster the cavaliers. Better to die facing the enemy than overtaken like the Sixth.

Then this bronze statue cleared his throat, and added: "I held to the faith of my fallible flesh; Why should I think of the irradiating star?"

Harrow turns to Nigenad and finds him looking offended and disturbed. He disagrees, but Magnus steps in. He says Nigenad is "too good a man to roll over and wait for another death"(6) and tells Pro that they should get everyone present on board with the action before they try to open the unopenable box of the coffin. Harrow suggests that Dulcie should stay out of it, in her obviously ill condition, but Dulcie insists she's felt better since she arrived. Pro quotes more poetry, cautioning against mistaking "the thaw for the spring", and Harrow wonders how Ortus must feel, having "his only cultivated persionality trait co-opted by someone who looked like the hero of his very own epics."

They bustle to arrange the bodies and summon the others. Dulcinea wheels her chair over to Abigail and asks if this is how it happens.(7) Abigail says no, and Dulcie asks if it gets better than this.

Harrow picks up a piece of crumpled flimsy that was in a corpse's pocket. Nigenad tries to stop her reading it, but she snaps at him to mind his place and sweeps out into the corridor to read it alone. It bears another strange message, which I will again not all-caps though the book does:

Him I'll kill quick because she asked me to and because that much he honestly deserves but you two mummified wizard shits(8) I will burn and burn and burn and burn until there is no trace of you left in the shadow of my long-lost natal sun(9)

Nigenad, unprompted from behind her, describes that the flimsy contains a drawing of a stylized letter S.(10) He asks if Harrow would expect him to seek her commands if the Sleeper comes for him, and she asks if he plans to do anything but lay down and die. He says his father died for nothing more than that her parents told him to, and she realizes that Ortus knew the whole time that Mortus died at her parents' command. Before she can say anything more, a gust of wind sends a wave of water in the window nearby, bringing with it a pile of rusted pipette needles.(11)

=====

(1) I don't recall Harrow having had this symphony of ghosts in her head in other POVs. Is the baby just an interpretation of the rain, or something else? (2) Meme reference to the old man in a red shirt, shrugging, captioned "Guess I'll die" (3) Hmm… but Harrow believes that Cam and Pal died in the Canaan House she attended with Ortus, why did Harrow not remember that when she read the note on the letter to give to Cam if she sees her? Or were her memories just still reforming and recovering at the time? Also, this is the very sad bit for me. I miss Pal and Cam! They're fun to be around. And we know Pal went kaboom trying to take out Cyth, but… whatever DID happen to Cam? She was there with Harrow when Cyth went down… and then she wasn't. (4) The real Dulcinea, or Cyth again? This one does seem to have a proper live cavalier, and I can say we never saw Cyth accept "Dulcie" as a nickname in book 1. (5) I mean, he has a point. It does only cause damage when it wakes. (6) Huh… Wait for another death? (7) There's that question again. (8) What a weird thing to say, even in a weird hallucination. Though, "mummified wizard" isn't a completely inaccurate description of a Lyctor. (9) So, someone or their ancestors lost their home solar system a long time ago. (10) The Stussy S/Cool S. (11) Something about the specificity feels like it carries meaning, doesn't it?
