Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Avenger!Reader
Word Count: 2,454
Warnings: cursing, shouting, destruction (kinda), magic using, controlling someone, manipulative ex (if there’s anything else I miss please let me know!)
A/N: Part 3! hello lovely people thank you for reading this, I really liked writing this so I hope you guys enjoy this chapter just as much as I enjoyed writing it, not gonna lie... shit kinda hits the fan. There will probably be one more chapter after this, I mean I didn’t really see where else I was going with this after this last chapter but idk I might pick it up if I have another idea but anyways enjoy! Remember that I also post this on my ao3 so if you want to read it there my user is the same as my tumblr.

The next morning Bucky woke up to the sunlight streaming into the room, he began turning around and the first thing he noticed was how your side of the bed was empty. Panic began to set in until he heard shuffling in the living room, he slowly got up, rubbed his eyes and headed towards the noise coming from the living room, noticing how you were chipping off a piece of your broken wall.
“Hey, goodmorning?” Bucky asked, confused as to what you were doing.
You turned around to face Bucky, “Oh, good morning. I hope I didn’t wake you up.”
“No don’t worry about it, what’re you doing?” He spoke while watching you struggle to pull a small piece of wood off the wall, the white paint slowly peeling off.
“Need to get this fixed before my landlady sees it and goes berserk.” You trailed off finally getting a big enough piece, you put it in a baggy and stuffed it inside your pocket. “Come on, let’s go.” You said grabbing your bag from the counter.
Bucky stared at you, dumbfounded, “Wait, wha- go where?” 
“To get coffee? It’s the least I can do for you.” You grabbed your keys and made your way towards the door.
“I told you, you don’t owe me anything alright.”
“Barnes.” You stated, placing your hand on your hip and drumming your fingers on the counter, “Get your ass ready and let's go get some coffee.” You ordered.
Bewildered, Bucky responded, “Yes ma’am.” and headed towards your bathroom and began getting ready, mainly to make sure he didn’t look like he just woke up.
————————————————————————
Getting out of the house was good for you, having something to do to distract yourself seemed like a good way to heal. Both you and Bucky went out to get coffee and some breakfast. While you two sat down and ate you also talked and laughed, really about anything and everything, the conversation going from fits of laughter to comfortable silence. Bucky then joined you to the hardware store to buy paint and other supplies to fix your broken wall, he had offered to help which you happily took, being around the people who you cared about most was all you wanted but you wanted to refrain from going to the Compound for ‘no reason.’ Everyone there was highly perceptive and you really didn’t want anyone else to know, part of you knew you shouldn’t feel ashamed and yet you did. They were like your family so you weren’t sure why you didn’t ever feel ready to share your anger.
But telling Bucky felt right. You two had been there for each other during some of the lowest moments of each other's life, so he knew how to comfort you. He was always patient with you which is saying something considering how frustrated he gets when someone takes too long trying to do or explain something.
After running around the city for a few hours and feeling pretty good, you and Bucky started walking towards your apartment building when you looked up and suddenly the pit in your stomach formed and you shuddered with dread.
“What the hell are you doing here?” You said, almost shouting, at your ex who was now exiting your apartment building.
“Oh… hey, I was looking for you.” He said casually, as if you two were doing just fine.
You felt your face begin to heat with anger, “I told you I didn’t want to see you again, what do you want?”
“Listen I just want to talk about the mistakes of last night-”
“Oh! The mistakes?! Which one, do you mean the one where you decided to hit me?” You stepped closer, not caring who heard you.
“Babe please I was angry you can’t be mad at me about that.” He calmly said. 
You knew what he was trying to do, you didn't want to give him the satisfaction of trying to play himself off as the calm collected guy and you as the crazy girlfriend.
You took a deep breath to calm yourself, “I am mad at you and I told you: we’re done. So you need to leave. Now.”
He started to reach out for your hand. “C’mon I know you don’t mean that-”
“Hey,” Bucky, who had stood back throughout the conversation letting you take charge, came in front of you and diverted the hand from coming near you, “she said to leave her alone so I suggest you listen to her before things get out of hand.”
His calm and cool demeanor changed in an instant when his eyes landed on Bucky. He scoffed, and noticed how you backed-up behind Bucky, “Are you being serious right now?” He looked at both of you and as if something clicked in his little brain he stepped back from the both of you. “Oh I see what this is, you only dumped me so you wouldn’t get caught cheating on me with this dick.” He said and shoved Bucky back, you grabbed Bucky’s arm to stop him from doing anything stupid, mainly so you could do something stupid and make sure Bucky didn’t get into any trouble.
“I told you I never cheated on you, and whatever my business with Bucky is, it’s my business, I don’t owe you any explanation given that I broke up with you so get over it.” You gritted your teeth, standing in front of Bucky to stare down your ex.
He gave a harsh laugh, “This is unbelievable you’re freaking out on me for catching you and now you don’t even want to admit that you did anything wrong!” He shouted, Bucky began to glance around noticing that people were staring.
“I didn’t cheat on you, asshat!”
“Oh please, now you're acting like a bitch.”
“Okay, that’s enough, leave her alone. Before you make yourself look more like a fool.”
He sized Bucky up, “Or what? You’ll kill me?” He puffed out his chest and pushed himself forward getting in Bucky’s face. “I know what you are: a killer, that’s all you ever have been and all you ever will be.”
Bucky didn’t move, didn’t break eye contact. You feared that he wanted Bucky to beat him to a pulp, but he stayed there, unwavering in his stare.
“She asked you to leave.” Bucky repeated. “So leave.”
“Nah… I don’t think so.” Before Bucky could even blink he noticed a rising fist coming straight for him. But before he could block the blow, the fist stopped; midair, the guy’s face contorting in pain.
Bucky looked over his shoulder and realized you were controlling him, anger clouded your eyes.
“I told you to leave me alone. But you didn’t listen.” Bucky stepped back as you stepped forward, forcing your hand forward, making him drop to his knees, grunting in pain. “I told you what would happen if you so much as looked at me. Do you know how easy it would be to kill you right now?” You leaned into his ear and whispered, “Like breaking a toothpick.” You stood back up, anger creating an invisible barricade between you and him, you didn’t care who saw, you didn’t care what happened, all you knew is that he deserved nothing. “Give me one good reason why I should let you live.”
He tried to open his mouth, but you didn’t let him, he could see sweat falling down his forehead, and Bucky looked around, seeing all the eyes staring down at you in fear. Bucky walked up slowly to you and put his hand on your shoulder, feeling how tense you were. “[F/N], not here not now.”
Bucky’s touch seemed to remove the dark clouds that surrounded you and his soft words brought you back to reality. That was when you noticed the crowd, eyes just staring at you, along with flashes of cameras. He got what he wanted, he wanted you to lash out so he could play the victim, and you fell right into it.
You dropped him and started walking back to your apartment, Bucky following quickly behind you. You heard him start yelling, you tried not to pay attention but something he said caught your attention, “You think you’re done with me?! Just wait until your little guard dog leaves. Now what I did in there was just a warning.” He shouted while he started standing up.
“What was just a warning?” You asked, already up the stairs to the entrance of the building.
He just smirked, “Oh you’ll see, don’t think you can embarrass me like that, once I’m done with you, you’ll regret everything coming your way.” And with that notion he walked off, with a noticeable limp; you tried to process what he just said. What was he doing in your apartment? How did he get in? All of these thoughts ran through your head as you started fumbling with your keys.
“Shit.” You whispered as you began racing through the hallways towards your apartment, not paying attention to Bucky trying to tell you to slow down. When you finally arrived at your door you carelessly shoved the keys in and pushed the door to open when you finally realized what he meant as a warning.
You seemed to stop breathing all together dropping the paint and other supplies you needed to fix the hole in the wall, now, useless. He completely destroyed your apartment, your eyes scanned the living room and kitchen; to your right plates, mugs, and bowls were shattered into a million pieces, the different colors made a mosaic on the floor, the refrigerator door was left open and fruits and other foods laid splattered as well, now most likely spoiled. Your dining table was broken, all the legs of the chairs were sitting scattered with wood chunks around them. The potted plants you had now laid down on the floor, dirt pouring over the floor. Your couch had slash marks, the stuffing inside them was sprayed everywhere on what remained of your coffee table, your television now screening the various black and white speckles along with glass falling from the screen and surrounding the living room you were in the night before; and you could only imagine what else he did in your room.
Devastation couldn’t even begin to describe how you were feeling. You clenched your jaw, you felt more violated than before. He somehow managed to sneak into your home, and destroy the first place you had felt at peace in. You slowly stepped inside the apartment, the crunching of wood, glass, and broken ceramics under your shoes, and looked closer at everything, you felt as though your entire world had been slipped out from under you; grabbing a broken picture frame you looked at the picture inside now covered in dust, stuffing, wood chips, and dirt.
Bucky was at a loss for words, you two were only gone a few hours, that man you once trusted managed to destroy the one place you were safe in. He didn’t know what to say, or how to comfort you. 
“You should get going,” You said quietly, not looking up from the picture, “I need to fix things around here.”
“[F/N] please, you don’t need to do this alone, let me help-”
“No!-” You shouted, “Please just, I need to be alone for a little.”
Your sudden shout startled Bucky but he knew when to back off. “Alright, call me later ok?” He asked, heading towards the door.
“Yeah, for sure I’ll… see you later.” You said distracted. Barely noticing that Bucky had walked out the door, you looked back down on the floor and noticed another picture, this one was ripped in half. Slowly picking it up you realized it was a picture that you and the rest of the Avengers had taken during Tony’s holiday party, the happy faces now ripped apart and stained.
————————————————————————
Bucky stayed outside your door for a few minutes, conflicted knowing that you wanted to be alone but he was worried that if he left your ex would come back and in his gut he knew that no matter how strong you were, being alone with him would not be the best thing in the world for you right now. He usually could help you out with anything but this was something completely different. Sure there were bad guys back in the 40s but growing up with sisters and a mother with a firm hand, he knew how to be a gentleman; and so did most men back then. He tried racking his brain for how he could help you out, when he finally got an idea. He made his way to his motorcycle that he had parked across the street the night before and headed towards the Compound.
After about half an hour later he made it back to the Compound and began his search; he looked around the living room and kitchen but it seemed empty, and after wandering for a few minutes he decided it would be pointless running around this Labyrinth. 
Sighing, he said, staring at the ceiling, “F.R.I.D.A.Y.?”
“Yes, Mr. Barnes?” An automated female voice responded back.
“Where’s Tony?”
“In his lab, sir.”
Bucky began his trek to the lab, “Thank you F.R.I.D.A.Y.”
“You are welcome sir.”
After a couple of minutes of walking he finally arrived at the entrance of the lab where he noticed Tony tinkering with the helmet of his suit, too busy to hear that Bucky had now entered his lab.
“Tony I need to ask you for a favor.”
Tony just sighed, not taking his eyes away from his helmet, “Kind of in the middle of something Barnes so you better make this quick.”
“It’s about [F/N].”
This seemed to cause Tony to take his eyes off of his project and stare at Bucky, puzzled.
“And what about [F/N]?” Tony asked, standing up and crossing arms.
Bucky knew you didn’t want anyone else to know about what happened, but he knew you needed help, so he chose his next words carefully, “Something happened and well her apartment was compromised. She needs a new-”
“Was it that douche-bag boyfriend of hers?” Tony stated flatly.
Bucky stared at Tony, bewildered,  “Ex-boyfriend.” He corrected.
Tony just hummed, after a few seconds of silence he finally started, “I can tell you don’t want to tell me whatever it is that happened and well whatever did happen doesn’t matter anymore so, tell me Cyborg, what is it you need me to do?”
Pushing aside the nickname he started to tell Tony his plan.

My thoughts on Ninjago the Island!!! 🏝🏝🏝
So, gotta be honest... this is not a Blind reaction thing, I actually watched it in French first so I know most of the stuff already 😅 It's entertaining, it got great animation, but nothing more than that in my opinion 🤷‍♀️
Still there is stuff I liked or I want to point out, and finally I'm seeing the English version so I can actually understand what the HECK they are saying 🤩
Alright, nothing else to say, here we go!
UNCHARTED
I haven't actually seen anything Clutch Powers related before Ninjago, is he always like this? I love that he is a jerk honestly, just wondering 😂
Press F for respect for intern Dwaine (at least he seems to like being... used?)
Clutch: It's just a bunch of rocks! It's not alive!
Totem: I'm about to end this man's whole career
Wait, Misako is part of the explorers club? ... that would have come in handy in season 11 to get the scroll of Forbitten Spinjitzu from the club instead of begging uncle Powers for it... *sighs* I don't mind plot holes in Ninjago like most fans I think, but if you wanna make Misako relevant again at least pay attention to the details 😅
Wow, after the end of season 13 I would've thought Wu was going to go through a midlife crisis, not Misako 😂😂
Oww, everytime I hear I get 😢 Bless your soul Kirby, always in our hearts 🖤🖤🖤
Well hello Brian
Tumblr media
Always nice to see you 😊
Twitchy Tim must have been pretty interesting to voice 🤔 I like him enough, he's fun and all, maybe not at the level of the characters we got last season
Okay, the place is called the STORM belt, there are LIGHTNINGS, and the sand of the beach is BLUE. Are we gonna address any of these similarities to our Bluebell here or not? 😅
Wait, Tim was giving a hot air balloon tour, does that mean other people where with him? What of them? Are they dead? Did he let them die on the island?... am I reading too much into this? Probably 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
Alright, the part of the boats? SO COOL 🤩🤩 I literally can't say anything bad about the animation at this point
Why did they think leaving Kai, Jay and Cole on one boat was going to be a good idea 😂 Also Zane just randomly doing sick tricks on his vehicle, love that nindroid
I'm guessing Nya is keeping her water abilities for her season 🤷‍♀️
Yep, yep, this is why the creators try to keep Pixal out of the adventures, with her everything is way too cool and easy to access to 😎😎
Twitchy Tim: There are statues that become alive!!
Lloyd:... so it's a season 2 stone army ripoff, we've seen worse
It's a cute episode overall 👍
THE KEEPERS OF THE AMULET
OKAY THE INTRO IS SO FREAKING COOL 🤩🤩🤩🤩
So Twitchy Tim has temporarily taken over Jay's role of spazzing out and complain about worse case scenarios... in another occasion they might have bonded over this, maybe 😂
Okay, survival position? MOOD
Nya: DRAGOOON 😱
Me: DRAGOOOOOOON 😍😍😍
Why am I not surprised that Jay was the one that named him Zippy? 💙 Also HE'S SO CUTE 💕💕💕 Love how in every adventure, we always get very different types of dragon in this show 👌 I'm a simple person, I see a dragon... 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Oh-oh, it's the "Lloyd's done with this crap"'s face
Tumblr media
This means serious business... am I that used to LEGO characters that this way of crossing arms on the chest looks almost normal to me? 😅
Soooo, Master of the Mountain clearly gave Cole too much development... because now he got demoted to "the one who is always hungry" 🤦‍♀️ I'm all for Cole's endearing love for cakes, which is super relatable, but if you're gonna push it on his fun side, at least be coherent 🙃
Is it just me or it feels like the writing of this special was made by someone different from the one of season 13? Like, it's not bad, just less engaging and witty. For now. Maybe I'm being premature 🤷‍♀️
New way of nerfing powers, we got... weird, sucking power totem thingies... OKAY
My gosh I really can't say anything about the animation, look at that! It's all cinematic with such a light! YES!! 🤩
I'M SORRY
Tumblr media
WHY ARE WE LOOKING OVER THIS??? IT LOOKS LIKE COLE'S LAVA PUNCHES BUT THEY ARE JAY LIGHTNING FEET??? IT'S A GREAT IDEA AND I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT AGAIN??? WHY ARE WE IGNORING THIS??? 💙💙💙💙
So they at least addressed that lightning isn't a Jay's thing only anymore 😅
Alright, Jay having a mental breakdown because of a bridge because it always breaks, that's the Bluebell I know and love 😂😂 Nya telling him to keep moving was cute too 💙❤💙❤
Okay, I'm sorry but this really bothers me, what kind of lightning can instantly knock out the MASTER OF LIGHTNING??? Like, my gosh, really??? I hope they give us an explanation, like it's some sort of special lightning, because this really doesn't sit right with me. Jay is lightning proof, we've seen it in Skybound, we've seen it in Sons of Garmadon, I DON'T BELIEVE HE WOULD JUST BE KNOCKED OUT LIKE THAT 😡😡😡
Soooooo, storm amulet? Being one with the lightning? Is that the reason why Jay got to be the sacrifice? 😅
THE GIFT OF JAY
Alright, I am kinda looking forward for this one, what did Bluebell actually say or do to get him into trouble this time 😂😂
Oh, he just... introduced himself... well that was underwhelming
SENSEI👏YOU👏ARE👏A👏FREAKING👏GOD👏STOP👏GETTING👏KIDNAPPED👏BY👏RANDOM👏VILLAINS👏
Bring ooooon Lloyd Grills 💪
Okay I did like the little speech, definitely resonates with how Lloyd survived this long even though everything wanted him to give up, even his father... I'M NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYING 😭
Jay out there making the real questions 😂
Awwww Edna used to call him gift of Jay? I can totally see it, so cute 💙💙 Makes even more sense if Libber actually left Jay at the Walkers' door...
Pff, Jay made the connection I would've done honestly 🤷‍♀️ Like, him being the master of lightning really didn't give these dudes any impression or inspiration? Any cool idea, full Road of El Dorado style? 🙃🙃
Lloyd out there abusing of the animation budget 💚💚💚
Somehow these ninja never actual sneak in, it's always a huge mess everyone knows about beforehand 😂 It's familiar though, I'm used to it and happy with it 👍
I might not be the biggest Misako fan, but you know what I am a fan of?
Tumblr media
LEGO HUGS 😍😍😍😍😍
Dang it uncle Powers, you just got here to make a mess did you 😅
Not the first person of the fandom to say this, but Jay looks absolutely lovely with that flower crown 🌺🌺🌺
Oh poor greenie
Tumblr media
Lloyd just has the worst luck 😓
Jay: Why would I be the gift?
Kai: Yeah who would want Jay?
Nya: Huh, me?? 😡
Got some very good Jaya for this little special, can't complain 💙❤💙❤
I mean, not matter how big of a snake Wojira might turn out to be, we've already seen the biggest and the second biggest snake of all so 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
Whoa, at last... IT WAS THE FIRST SPINJITZU MASTER THAT HAD SOMETHING HE SHOULD'VE TOLD WU A LONG TIME AGO!! 😱 Wu, you got pulled a Wu, how does it feel? 😂
Again, Jay freaking out, kinda my jam it's too funny 💙💙
Wow Kai way to be hominous offscreen 👏👏 I miss talking about my flame babe, this really isn't his time 🤷‍♀️
THE TOOTH OF WOJIRA
So when I first watched this I was genuinely, really excited about knowing the truth behind all this. It turned out very different from what I first thought, but at least in this case it's okay (besides I was pushing with the lightning meaning just to see Libber again 😅😅😅)
I feel like the guys get their powers stolen or blocked so much it takes them a minute to remember "Oh wait I can literally burn my way out" 🤷‍♀️
SPINJITZU YAY 🤩
I... forgot that Misako knows how to fight 😅 She knows how to do spinjitzu too if I remember correctly...
NYA BEING LIKE "OUT OF THE WAY IMMA SAVE MY BOYFRIEND AGAIN" ❤💙❤💙
Gotta love how they were all crazy worried about Jay, like, this is something that never changes through the show. They really care so so much for each other 💕💕💕
Ooohhhh, okay, so Wojira does seem to be the main villain of next season according to the story. I remember Tommy saying that we needed to have faith and this is probably why. The special was okay, nothing too much, and hopefully that too much we will see in Nya's season 😍😍😍
What the- pff, I didn't notice this the first time 😂
Tumblr media
At this point I can't tell if that one short with the chicken of the movie carried a hate or a love for chickens in the actual show 😂😂
Nice to see Jay standing up for himself at least for a little while 💪 Also Lloyd being "He's our trouble", aww family 💜
THERE IT IS
Tumblr media
MY BRUISE HEART IS SOARING 🖤💙🖤💙
Gotta give props to the voice actors, voicing an explanation while fighting must be pretty hard! WE ARE BLESSED WITH AN AMAZING CAST!!! 🤩🤩🤩
And there he is, our favorite jerk... shaved Ronin 😂 He does look a little weird, but it's fair, new animation and all. Not the weirdest until now 🤷‍♀️
I genuinely had to make a mental check to see where we are with Ronin now, like, he started as a villain, then a partner, he betrayed us, became an ally, he hunted the ninja, then joined them, that timeline was erased, he was around in SoG and... wow this man is chaotic 😂😂
Yaaaay, Twitchy's last minute redemption act! Lloyd is too good at motivational speeches 👏👏
A bit of Lava OTP/BrOTP
Tumblr media
Cause it's good for the heart ❤🖤❤🖤
Okay, Scooby doo reference, why not? Also honestly, I'm confident Ronin has seen A LOT of jails and prisons... probably won't stay behind bars for long 😅
Mammatus: sorry for imprisoning you and almost killing your friend
Kai: no biggie, that's how we make friends in this show
Alright the "And Clutch Powers" gag made me chuckle 😂 ... wait where is he- DANG IT UNCLE POWERS
Okay, this is the last time I say it I promise, but I mean. I MEAN
Tumblr media
THE ANIMATION GUYS 😍😍😍
Aaaaand sensei you jinxed it 😅 But you apparently awakened Nya's season so I'm gonna forgive you on this one 😉
FINAL THOUGHTS
There are a few little details that bothered me a little, and it wasn't as exciting as I maybe hoped it was going to be, but it was fine. Enjoyable still. These characters make me like the show, even when it got nothing too impactful 🤷‍♀️
But I got triggered about that lightning thing with Jay 😅 I guess I'll just fanfic whatever I had in mind...
Don't have to repeat myself about the animation *chef's kiss*
The writing was really less engaging, a little normal in a way? Idk just a feeling. Nice to see Ronin again though, I really like him. And nice to see Jay freaking out, I really like that too 😂
To be honest I wanted to put down my thoughts on this one because I REALLY wanna do the same with Nya's season 🤩🤩 I already know that Maya is gonna be there and I am so HAPPY already!!! 💙💙💙
So that's it from me! Thank you for reading me ranting, see you next season! 😊

Heya, i come across your blog while talking about nelroche etc. I never know anything about l&l since i never play lovestruck, can someone give explanation which part that is similiar? While idk anything about lovestruck, I found their previous work also has similiar with manga yana of the dawn (which i have read the manga, and yes, they are pretty similiar to called it just coincidence).
okay so fair warning... this is long as fuck because there are more similarities than there are differences lol. also as a disclaimer i’m only invested in this whole thing insofar as it entertains me but if the “””””creators””””” want to fight me because i wrote this post.... they’re welcome to but i promise i’ll have more fun than they will lmfao
l&l’s about a young woman from a major city in our world who one day gets sucked via magical portal into a fantasy world filled with magic and races that are only fiction in ours. once there, she gets mistaken for their most notorious war criminal, an insanely powerful witch who committed a genocide and is center of a cult of worshipers willing to kill and die for her.
this is nelroche’s description, straight from their devblog:
Tumblr media
now, if it was a matter of similar basic premises and setups, i’d write it off as coincidence and tell the anons who made me aware of this that i thought they were overreacting. after all, “normal-human sucked into medieval world” and even “mistaken identity” are both very well established tropes that have been done and done again and will continue to be done because many find it compelling. hell, i do too. honestly, if the devs had simply said that they drew inspiration from love & legends, i’d have understood.
but.
the similarities only begin there. and they only get more excessive. coupled with their adamant denial that they’ve never even read it....... it’s just not possible lmfao. even if they decided to change the physical appearances of the characters, the tropes behind them and their personalities are exactly the same.
the nelroche demo has:
1) the lord of a region who’s a massive workaholic to the point of self-detriment, but is very caring towards their people and their inner circle and whom everyone in the group has referred to as a parental figure.
Tumblr media
aka.... l&l’s reiner wolfson, who’s described directly from the app as “Reiner is a fair and compassionate ruler who would defend the people of the human domain with his life.”
2) the prickly knight to said lord, who’s fiercely dedicated to their liege, very serious in personality along with stubborn and prideful, but cares deep down once you get past their walls.
Tumblr media
literally l&l’s august falke. the demo describes them, literally as “...reminds me of the knights in the fairy tales, except, it seems, not quite as charming” whereas august’s in-app description reads “This knight in shining armor is more aggressive than the story books led you to believe...” I’ll let the similarities there speak for themselves.... lol
3) the energetic and bubbly mage who’s super tiny compared to their companions and avoids serious discussion, who happens to be a bit of a trickster and has a mysterious quality.
Tumblr media
l&l’s altea bellerose but make it less pink! altea and “C”s similarities go even deeper but i’ll get into that a bit later.
4) the mysterious and heterochromatic-eyed figure who’s distrustful and initially stand-offish as a result of living through a life of hardship, that is excitable and actually loves to travel.
Tumblr media
look no further than l&l’s saerys! M’s eyes are “ocean blue and purple” compared to his blue and red, but don’t let that difference fool you! their introductions are laughably similar (more on that later)... and the “travel” bit lmfao. not to be mean but they couldn’t at least change up his hobbies? come on now, work for that plagiarized bag!
5) the lazy and flirtatious one who’d rather spent their days joking and taking it easy than handling their many responsibilities, who does care but shows it in ways unconventional.
Tumblr media
just because their hair is grey instead of white doesn’t mean it’s not l&l’s iseul idreis, babes! i’d know that endlessly frustrating man anywhere! lovestruck’s app description for him reads: “The elven prince is beautiful and cunning with a silver tongue, but his lackadaisical lifestyle leaves much to be desired”. corporate wants you to find the difference between these two pictures they’re the same dot jpg.
6) the complicated and slender blonde who wields both blade AND magic, whose eyes glow, whose power is deemed dangerous, who wears shades of blue, AND is initially described as cold? who seems like she wants to beat the hell out of her compatriots, who she seems to lead, and whose outfit is needlessly complicated?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
you think i don’t know a knock off helena klein when i see one???? ME???????? helena’s in-app description LITERALLY reads “cold as ice” and “wielding both sword and sorcery with ruthless precision”!!!!! of alllllllllll the things i’m most offended by this one motherfucker you can’t just fuck around with helena on a whim okay this shit is personal now!!!!!!
7) the creepy, predatory, and combative pale-but-tanned-but-murky-skinned dude who wears robes and a creepy beast mask.
Tumblr media
l&l’s jinhai jubal i know it’s you!!!! actually this is probably the funniest thing of the whole situation to me bc this dev decided to remove not-alain as a love interest and seemingly replace him with not-jinhai. secondary poster you a hilarious bitch i’m not gonna lie.
Tumblr media
(here’s jinhai in his mask lmfao)
Tumblr media
8) the mouse-looking man who seems not as confident as not-helena and not-jinhai, wears full armor AND a double-sided sword strapped to his back.
Tumblr media
none other than l&l’s alain richter, back from the dead! im gonna let the next image speak for itself.
Tumblr media
still with me? i sure hope so bc it really gets juicy now!!!!! the similarities don’t end with the characters!!!! no, no, no!!!! the plot and progression of the demo are identical to that of l&l’s pilot episode, beat for beat.
in the l&l pilot episode, after the mc stumbles through the portal and into the medieval town, she’s almost immediately accosted by august, a rude mf who essentially acts not very knight-like despite his appearance and forces her into the nearby castle’s dungeon.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
once inside the dungeon, the l&l mc is approached by a figure with hetero-chromatic eyes, who seems intrigued and confused by the mc’s lack of knowledge about the fantasy world.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
once that person leaves, in comes a bubbly woman who seems to be floating. she asks mc if she’s ready to get out of the dungeon, and mc is like!!!! finally someone willing to help me. only..... uh oh.... she takes her to her lord instead of freeing her, wtf!!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
once brought to the lord, who seems much more calm and reasonable than his high-strung and feisty knight, he listens to mc’s story and seems to believe her somewhat, but doesn’t want to risk his people.

“I’m leaving it to you!”
Your captain’s - former captain’s voice rings in your head as you stare blankly at the board in front of you. Class hadn’t started yet so there were still other students coming in and out of the classroom to chat to their friends and whatnot. One of those students happened to be your boyfriend. 
“Hey, babe!” Tanaka pulls a seat out from the desk beside you and leans his head on his hand, elbow on your desk. “Babe?” He waves a hand over your face and you blink a couple of times to realize he’s there beside you.
“Oh, hey, sorry I was just thinking.” You respond and flash him a tired smile. He raises an eyebrow but deciding against asking for more. 
“Did you wanna eat lunch together? Noya-san said he brought some--” your thoughts drown out his voice as you go back to a few days ago.
“But why?” You ask, running after your captain who was unchaining her bike. They flash you a quick smile as they turns to face you. “W-Why so suddenly, we have a game in three weeks!”
They ruffle your hair before placing a hand on your shoulder. “I know that and if I’m not fully focused, I know I’m going to bring the team down. But you, you can lead them because I know how much you love this sport.”
“But--”
“And besides, you’re already vice-captain so you have that leadership the other girls have seen. You’ll do great.” They gives you a nod before mounting their bike. “I’m leaving it to you!”
The rest of the day blurs by and you aren’t acting like how you usually do. Were they okay with leaving you as captain? You knew they did most of the pep talks and leading practice, all with the personality that wasn’t you. Whlle they were more straightforward and blunt, you tended to stay off to the side and be more reserved. It was actually ironic that you and the wing spiker started dating.
Speaking of Tanaka, he takes note of your change in behavior but didn’t want to push you to talk unless you were ready, so he opted to just observe. In his head, he thinking of scenarios of if someone is bothering you or it was just school that’s been causing you stress.
“Captain!” You’re brought out of your thoughts again when an underclasman on the team taps you on the shoulder.”Could you help me out with this drill?”
It was practice, right. It had been going well, the other members understanding of the former captain’s circumstances and they were happy to know that you were stepping in to fulfill her place. But there was still the doubt there that you couldn’t do what she could.
“Of course, here try this.” You try to lead her through the basics of the drill but she keeps giving you looks of confusion. 
“Um, I don’t really understand--”
“Watanabe! I’ll help you out, I was just gonna do that right now.” Another one of your teammates takes the underclassman. The teammate pats your shoulder before giving you a reassuring smile. What were you doing wrong?
This wasn’t the first instance where things like this happened. The day after you became captain, you had flubbed over your words at the scrimmage against another school. Your teammates were kind enough to understand your nervousness, however, you exaggerated their reactions in your head.
The next day was a practice and you saw that the underclassmen preferred to ask other upperclassmen for help or advice. When they did come to you, it was a mess of explanations as what had happened only moments ago. 
“I’m going to step out for a bit,” you tell your team manager as you pick up your water bottle. The sun was setting and the outside was quiet, save for a few leaves being blown in the wind. You slide down the side of the gym and lean against the wall with your eyes closed.
“Whatcha doing out here?” You peek an eye open and see Tanaka with his own sports drink taking a seat next to you. “Should’t you be at practice?” He was on a water break and took the oppotunity to find you because of what happened earlier in the day. 
You smile and bump his knee with your own, “I could say the same to you.” Silence follows your last words and you look up at the sky. “Ryu, do you think I make a good captain?”
He stops midway to a sip and turns his head to face you. “What do you mean?”
“I think I shouldn’t be captain. I’m keep messing up and I feel like I’m not doing enough or being enough--”
“Woah, woah, baby, hold on.” He holds your wrists as your hands came up to cover your face. “Where did all of this come from?” You told him beforehand of what happened, but he didn’t think your nervousness translated to doubt in your own abilities.
“Ryu,” you say behind your hands, “I-I can’t...” you trail off and he pulls you into his arms. 
“Babe,” he tried, seeing that you didn’t make an effort to move your face from his chest, “Y/N.” He presses, lifting your head up with his thumb and index fingers under your chin.
“You’re amazing, okay? What’s all this talk of not being enough, babe, I’ve seen you play at games and practice!” He looks estatic what you can’t help but chuckle.
“That game last week, when your old captain had an injury and you lead your team for over half the game? You killed it out there! I saw the look in your eyes and the vibe your team gave off after the last time out,” he puts his hands on either side of your face. “You hyped them up all on your own. I just think you’re be overthinking all the little things. I know you’re strong enough to overcome any challenges and bring people up along the way!”
This was quite a bit coming from him who had his own days of feeling down, of not doing enough for his own team members. But when you saw him play himself, he never let those doubts affect who he was as a person. Even if he was targeted or blocked on the court, he came back stronger.
“You may not see it but your teammates do.” He nudges you to look to the side and see your team huddled near your gym entrance with worried looks on their faces. “I do.” 
You smile brighter at his words. “Thank you, Ryu.”
“Of course! Now go kick some ass at practice!” He pulls you both up and pushes you to your team.
“That’s my baby!” He yells into the gym when your teammates reassure you that they just didn’t want to overwhelm you with their questions, clearing up misunderstandings. They all look amused at his antics and laugh when Daichi drags him by the collar back to their own gym. 
It was nice to know that he would always be there to bring you up.

warning, the following has mainly snarky (and possibly furious) opinions on Spirit of Justice. Reader discretion is advised.
alright. part two, here we go
-
“she’s safe”
“I’m afraid you’ve lost me”
the words ‘maya’ and ‘safe’ do not go together in phoenix’s dictionary 
-
...Phoenix’s phone has caller ID??
-
ooh a phone vocal-blip. cute
-
ok fuck you how is the Benefactor keeping tabs on them?? Did Atishon use his One Phone Call to report to headquarters or something???
-
“I admit, I didn’t see that coming”
well spoilers guys I know who the benefactor is, and they have to be pretty fucking stupid not to know that a spirit medium is needed for this.
-
“its your friendly neighbourhood dragon”
no dhurke, youre not cool enough to be spiderman.
-
“you cant lay a hand on maya fey, and i mean literally”
>foreboding 
-
[sighs deeply]
guys. just. fucking call edgeworth. he’s chief prosecutor of america and his sister is part of INTERPOL. call edgeworth and just. fix the fucking problem. right now.
-
“No time to explain”
ggghhghghhghghgh
-
...oh. there’s edgeworth
...............now watch him be completely fucking useless
-
.......ARE YOU KIDDING ME
PHOENIX /DID/ CALL EDGEWORTH THE MOMENT MAYA WAS KIDNAPPED AND HE STILL WENT THROUGH HIS FUCKING “DUHHH BETTER DEFEND THIS OBVIOUS CRIMINAL” SHIT??
-
oh edgeworth. you and your chartered planes.
whenever he does that i like to imagine he hired MJN air.
-
Edgeworth...
A) Why are you letting Dhurke be involved? Just cut him out, send Franziska and Lang in with a team of guys and kick the shit out of the enemy
B) You don’t need to conceal someone on a charter jet. You chartered it. You can do whatever the fuck you want with it. Besides, Dhurke got into the country p easily, he can get out the same way.
C) Dhurke is a criminal. Depending on what he’s done as a rebel, he could be as guilty in your country as his home country. Why are you acting like he’s innocent? Aren't you kind of by-the-book?
-
oh yeah and despite the fact that they’ve updated Phoenix’s sprite, Miles still looks like a frozen plank of wood. Thanks :\
-
Apollo: Sorry Trucy, guess you have to hold all the unnecessary evidence and hold down the fort and be LEFT BEHIND FOR A CHANGE AAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
-
oh. this is a really nice garden.
the drama theme is kinda harshing the mellow tho
-
o hai rayfa
-
um. what the fuck. that mask must make it pretty difficult to do shit pal
-
Garan, whilst ordering her henchmen online: drama queen or king preferred 
-
UR DIARRHOEA, GAH-RAHN
cool theme, love the use of the royal “we”. 
-
“what about those guards over there”
“ohh, just prepared to fuck shit u–– iii mean help you haha.”
-
yeahhh... I'm not buying her super calm “my husband is a kidnapper” attitude. 
-
UIGSFILGFLIS DHURKE YOU FUCKING MORON
god he’s such a useless piece of shit. unless he’s trying to get taken so that he can be taken to... idk, wherever Maya is held in some sort of Gambit, he’s a real moron for just up and outing himself like that.
-
BAAAAARBED HEAD. YOU HAVE SOME SPLAAAAAAAAININ TO DOOOO
-
man why do they even give us other options if we can’t use them???
-
“Dhurke... I sure hope he’s alright”
hey apollo wanna hear a secret
i dont 
-
Phoenix externally: Patience, Apollo, patience.
Phoenix internally: we are so screwed at any moment the queen could be all “OFF WITH YOUR HEAD” and i’ll never see trucy or maya again jesus holy mother buddha help me
-
i love that Garananana is kinda just chilling with them. You got more important shit to do, queenie. like being evil 
also open your goddamn mouth once in a while, sheesh
-
Apollo: I hope no one gets hurt
The entire series of ace attorney as a whole: oh honey
-
wait ... INGA HAD A RATTAIL?!
-
ohhh yesss listen to those punches
why couldn’t they have animated it too ;w;
-
phew. im glad Maya’s ok. 
-
yeesh... poor Rayfa.
-
i love that even apollo’s like “fuck dad, you didn't kill him, did you?????”
its a beautiful contrast to how adamant he was about Trucy not killing Manov. 
-
um, soundtrack, now is not the time for Grand Revival. I know Edgeworth is on screen but the shit he’s saying is far, far from uplifting.
-
“it seems prosecutor sahdmadhi has grown quite fond of her”
nooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
-
“they’ve almost become a team of sorts”
ok so mark Ema down on the list of AJ characters who will never be seen again after this game.
fuck man i’d even take Klema over this 
-
can you imagine if they'd split up Apollo/Phoenix  Edgeworth/Athena instead
i really wonder how Athena and Edgeworth would interact. Athena’s spunky enough to be a bit like Kay I suppose, so maybe similar to that.
-
again, Kooraheen’s detention centre theme is really quite pretty
too bad i have to look at Dhurke’s face while listening to it
-
...a tasty... hash house
i
oh apollo’s up for that
well tbh if i was him i could use some hash after all this shit
-
yEAH YOU TELL’IM APOLLO
SMARTEN THAT BASTARD UP
-
god apollo he’s not worth it. i’d say leave the fucker to his fate but i guess it is important to find the real killer... sigh
-
apparently queen Amara liked insensitive fuckbags with masculinity issues
oh well. to each their own.
-
>:( don’t compare Dhurke’s story to Phoenix’s, Apollo 
-
“you ran?! but why?!!”
oh i dunno, athena, maybe the fucking death penalty?????
-
hang the fuck on
are you telling me that Dhurke started making trips to his shitty abandoned law office via sewer... while Apollo was still with him?!
Like what fucking reason would he have to drag him down there?! The place is an archive/resistance base, but Apollo and Sadmad lived in the mountains as children; why the fuck would he take his /kids/ into town at the risk of having them all arrested at once?!
WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM, DHURKE
-
that orb better be a fucking laser or some shit cause I'm really tired of hearing about it 
-
oh......... hi sadmad..................... what a pleasure to see you........... again................
just as fucking pleasant as ever
-
i love that Dhurke is like “what happened to fighting the man, son??”
like even if he is a double agent he can’t very well just be like “psst I'm still on your side!!!!” in front of the fucking guard 
i hate that dhurke’s face is so placid during this too.
“Son, why did you betray me? Also how was the sports game?”
-
“The Nahyuta you knew exists no more”
yeah sure sadblackworth, whatever you say
-
oh well that was abrupt 
meh, onwards to the tomb
-
“No, that’s the holy mother. She’s the one who brought spirit channeling to Khura’in”
oh so you mean Ami Fey.
-
oh ema... i’ll miss you while youre off being Sadmad’s lapdog 
-
“You mean His Ephemeral Holiness?”
Yes, Ema, fight it!!! Fight it!!!!!!
“But when he manages a smile and compliments my work, it’s hard to say no.”
...nuts. 
-
wait what do you mean the defendant is someone you know
you met Dhurke like once a day ago 
-
aw apollo took the locked-room-mystery words right out of my mouth. i love him so. why are they going to take him away?
-
 alrihgt back to this shit after like a 3 month hiatus or something 
-
i love how chill everyone is talking about Maya’s kidnapping 
“oh yeah he brought her here to the tomb so nobody would see. sensible thing to do. oh also maya almost died but i guess that’s nbd”
-
casually opens a tomb
casually opens the sarcophagus hangings  
casually tries to open the sarcophagus when told there’s a mummy inside
apollo, you're contracting douche-itis from everyone else. this old family of yours is a bad influence.
-
...we’re gonna yeet this sarcophagus arent we 
-
i love that Amara’s just kinda. depicted standing there as she’s burned to death. i mean i guess theyre trying to preserve her beauty and dignity in death but it also makes her look like an idiot who didnt try to escape the flames. 
ooh i like that last one though
-
pff thats a pretty well-equipped corpse line
-
“Where’d the other three bullets go?”
“Maybe Dhurke ate them?”
if he did they'd better have a VERY good explanation 
-
“the poor guy”
EMA
HE WAS HOLDING MAYA HOSTAGE
-
“the cuffs of justice”
love it
-
“just one of those traditions people do and they dont know the reason why”
“like rolling up your sleeves?”
“or your psychology, if we’re going there” HE FUCKING WENT THERE
OOOOOOOOOOO I LOVE YOU APOLLO
-
“he said grape juice has something in it that helps you relax”
are we going into grape juice lore here
"Really? ...Um, are you sure he was talking about regular, plain old grape juice?”
Yes, actually, Athena. It’s canonical that it is /actual off-the-vine welsh’s good ol’ sippy cup grape juice/. It’s not a metaphor or a censoring for kids, it’s just juice.
Of course, this is written by the DDSOJ staff. And considering the intense, dark n’ gritty action makeover the series got, I wouldn’t put it past them to retcon the juice into the... “fermented variety”. thanks Athena.
Yayyy not only do they write shitty dads, but they have to retroactively en-shitten Phoenix as an alcoholic father. Gosh, I sure do love these guys.
(obviously this isn’t a dig at anyone who head canons gj as wine, there’s a difference between head canons and malicious retconning.)
-
hmm interesting mechanic for this chair. i guess since you can’t stuff it in your inventory you cant do the ‘look all over’ thing. but on the other hand, they REALLY wanted to impress you with that hidden blood.
-
Ema: [performs a blood test in 2 seconds] I didn’t get a match!
Well probably not in that time, babe
i have to commend them on the little cutscene though that was nice. 
-
again, i guess Amara really liked emotionally stunted fuckwads
the devil horns are a bit much, though.
-
oh damn.
thats a nice ass pendant 
...oh thats blood
well, it sets off the pink and gold quite nicely. and its a butterfly... seems like something Dahlia would wear
-
“speak of the devil...”
speak of the devil indeed. hiiiiiii sadmad... its been a while.
-
oh ok he didnt say anything 
also i find it funny that apollos like “Wait!! wait!! damnit, after him!”
and then you just. go back into the talk menu with Ema. bit of a moment killer, there.
-
“why does everything have to be so difficult with you?”
cause hes a prosecutor, apollo. thats just how it is on this bitch of an earth 
-
“the law is the law. placing personal feelings above it is beyond reprieve”
ah but placing religion above it is totally fine. gotcha yuts
-
“And the winner is... prosecutor Sahdmadi!”
helpful, athena
-
“it’s like he’s trying to cover something up with his pretty words!”
oh did you mean the inevitable reveal that he's actually a good guy and we have to forgive him for being a shitwad? 
-
oh wow. that joke post about sadmad developing generalized anxiety was actually based on a legit thing that happened 
is it ok if i hate him even more for it? i mean how did he figure it out? he didn’t let apollo use it in court so where would he have gained the knowledge? unless he knows about Thalassa’s abilities...
...also, how /is/ he doing this? the way Perceive works isn’t just “i can sense that you’re uncomfortable”, it’s that people who can use it have extremely good eye-sight and see tiny little movements in other people. If they’re smart about it, they can tell that the movements mean the enemy is lying. Apollo just happens to get tense when he notices this, most likely because he’s kind of straining his eyes.
But then again that brings up the fact that his power would act up CONSTANTLY, either because EVERYBODY FIDGETS, or Apollo himself could just be stressed and making the bracelet squeeze on its own.
So thanks, SOJ. Not content with ruining Apollo’s canon, you’ve also got to ruin his cool lawyer power. Gosh, you’re just the gift that keeps on giving, aren’t you? 
-
“Powerless in the face of the Holy Mother’s blessings”
SOJ team is now nicknamed the Holy Mother. Or possibly the Unholy Mother.
-
“Looks like your power won’t work against Sadmadhi. Guess we’ll have to try something else.”
“Yeah, let’s ask Dhurke...”
Yeah. Because you obviously don’t have someone with you RIGHT NOW who ALSo has a special power. You dont even have TWO POEPLE with you with a special power. Guess we’d better talk to the man who birthed this shiteater.
-
“I won against Mr. Wright”
yeah in a completely rigged trial where losing would be the worst option. thats not really something to brag about, you know.
-
“...doomed to be reborn as something lower than a bug or a vegetable”
you heard it here first folks Sadmad hates sustaining agriculture and the bees.
-
>Lang’s scrolls and dickfuckery
>Edgeworth’s by-the-bookishness
>Franziska’s catchphrase
>Blackquill’s backstory twist
These were the ingredients chosen to make the perfect prosecutor. But the SOJ writers accidentally added an extra ingredient to the concoction: BAD WRITING 
THUS UNINSPIRED ASSHOLE WAS BORN!
-
apollo you don’t matter to anyone anymore youre getting the boot. do as your foster pop said when you were a drowning 5 y/o and suck those pussy baby tears back into your skull.
-
welp thats it for part one of investigation day 2. now (i think) we’re headed over to the delicious pandering of Phoenix and Edgeworth, back together. Will it bring me solace despite being an obvious ratings grab?
good god, i hope so.
till next time.

okie dokie, annie/marcus, misfits n joe/mae?
took me a while but here they are
Beauty and the hoe
How differently do they think of each other now compared to when they first met?
Annie was first bit disgusted, bit charmed by Marcus, she had heard of the Coburn man before and so to say he’s quite well known. She was very persistent not to fall for his sweet words and strong presence, and she did succeed, which made her more interesting to Marcus himself. While she looked sweet and innocent she had that much willpower to make him seriously interested. Now Marcus know for sure how strong of a person Annie really is, and Annie has come to know Marcus thoroughly to the point they have nothing to hide from each other, and Marcus feels like he doesn’t deserve to be with her (which he truly doesn’t)
What do their friends/family think of their relationship?
Marcus has no family to speak of, he does have Sarah and David though, they don’t give two shits what Marcus does with his relationships, and they both know if something goes horribly wrong it’s likely his fault anyway. Annie’s sister is very cautious about Marcus because she knows exactly who he is and where he hangs out with his work buddies, she tried to warn her, but she herself is in pretty shady businesses and that word can;t come out. Annie’s parents however welcomed him finally after their girl was born and the new father showed up on their door with their grandchild. Mrs. Valentine’s eyes scan him from head to toes and is not that impressed with him at first.
How do their personalities/skills complement or contrast with each other?
Annie is the reserved one who inspects all situations before she acts, Marcus is the outgoing one who tends to act before thinking twice. She is intelligent but keeps to herself and her work as a seamstress, Marcus goes around town causing harm and mild chaos. 
What is their favorite aspect of each other?
There’s something oddly charming the scottish accent and recklessness for Annie, plus he has great physique and is covered in tattoos, she didn’t know she’s into bad boys before. But he is also kind once you rub of the layers of dirt off him. Annie chubby and he loves it, perfect for cuddling. She is also no-nonsense type of girl and very stubborn, proved a little challenge for him and he loved it, she clearly has her own mind and personality and stuck out from the rest of the London women.
Do either of them have pet peeves about each other?
Marcus tends to hide some unimportant stuff from her even though they have a deal to talk about everything, he also doesn’t talk about his work for obvious reasons and while Annie knows hat he’s doing, she never gets the details. For Marcus there’s nothing wrong with Annie, maybe that she wears her hair on a braid but he’d love to see her show off her locks more often
How would each reconcile with each other after a fight?
It’s always Marcus who comes to her first, she is that unyielding, they talk things through, there is no other way for them, and lucky for Marcus Annie is forgiving and loving, and still trusts Marcus to love her back
What would be their ideal vacation getaway together?
Maybe Paris, elegant city for and elegant lady and a shaggy scotchman
Think of a new way (AU, different situation, etc.) they could have met for the first time.
They met in a bar where Annie was forced to look for help with people harassing her and her shop. But they could have met in middle of a gunfight where Marcus is chasing down someone and that someone is holding civilians at gunpoint
Fish and the hoe
How differently do they think of each other now compared to when they first met?
Harlei saw him as an adorable nerd with little knowledge of his fame, but alas, he wasn’t that adorable, and damn did he know what he’s capable of, a damn sharp man both mind and teeth, she’s really into him now. I’d guess Ninida was bit put off by Harlei bc who is this albino, why is she doing that thing with her tongue that’s nasty. But now she’s interesting and certain fun to be around and fool around with
What do their friends/family think of their relationship?
Jolanda was delighted, Tzet tried not to sigh out ‘oh bother’ after he recognized who the nedian was. His dad has had dealings with Vim in the past but nothing grand, it was only matter of time who told Jolanda first. Tzet was still happy for her though, first time in years she’s in a somewhat stable relationship. I bet Jens brought out all the bad dad jokes when Ninida brought Harlei to his cabin
How do their personalities/skills complement or contrast with each other?
They’re both smart and quick witted, they have reasons why they’re as a successful as they are. Then there’s Ninida with being open about his feelings and Harlei beating them up with a stick, Harlei’s flirtyness and Ninida’s almost prude attitude towards sex. Both good pilots and know their guns, but Ninida can always suggest upgrades to Harlei’s current one
What is their favorite aspect of each other?
She loves the excitement and challenge Ninida provides for her and the more steady pace in her love life, and that he got her to take a look at herself in the mirror and make her realize she might need some end goal in her life. Ninida probably appreciates her experience and thing she could teach to him about relationships that proved an useful edge with Amai later on, the hair is nice to look at and toy with, and she’s a huge child at heart, loving playfights ahead
Do either of them have pet peeves about each other?
The fact that Ninida is always tweaking or thinking about tweaking his guns at any given moment. For Ninida, idk, maybe that she’s always horny
How would each reconcile with each other after a fight?
Both sulking and giving each other the silent treatment before getting to their senses and try to fix it all by themselves, which then leads to them either talking or making it up somehow
What would be their ideal vacation getaway together?
Some exotic planet maybe, unhabited and all wild and dangerous would be for Harlei’s likings, but guess some beach holiday bc Nedians and water
Think of a new way (AU, different situation, etc.) they could have met for the first time.
The was a slight chance they’d end up on opposing ends of a trade deal, adding just that extra bit rivalry between them and Harlei getting more cocky and annoying in his eyes
Cheese puff and buff
How differently do they think of each other now compared to when they first met?
Both were such massive pains in each other’s asses at first, Joe being the party pooper by throwing her out all the time and Maeve being the annoying patron that always causes trouble and needs to be thrown out the second she sets foot in hallway. Now she’s still a troublemaker but she’s his troublemaker. And Joe still has those arm muscles she was drawn into in the first place by the sixth time he threw her out, he still acts all cool and calm but she knows he’s a bit of a lovesick big puppy. And he knows now that the attention she craved in the bar was due to her daddy and mommy issues. They’re both sweet and caring people
What do their friends/family think of their relationship?
The Fujioka’s weren’t so impressed at first bc for one: their daughter never decided to show up in the past and now she has the guts to tell them she’s engaged, to this man, who they know only little about, like honey are you sure. But they’ll have a change of heart once they see how happy she is with him and how happy he is with her, how they’ve already been living together for a while and worked past the long distance issues. Maeve was bit scared but also delighted by the Batbayars, huge and imposing people but so gentle, Joe is clearly their kid.
How do their personalities/skills complement or contrast with each other?
Maeve is a fiery personality accompanied with only 160-170 cm or so height, then there’s the quite mellow big dude who could engulf her in mere seconds. Joe is good with guns and has actual training, Maeve has sharp eyes to spot any valuables, and she’s very agile, while Joe is brute force. They’re both in the shape of their lives and make it known to any people with them at the gym
What is their favorite aspect of each other?
Ngl looks were pretty much the first thing that got Meave interested, then came the tattoos and the muscles. After properly getting to know him she loves his humor and well, he has pretty good manners too, but that jaw though, nothing can beat the jaw. Joe loves her freckles and nose and her determination, maybe something else?
Do either of them have pet peeves about each other?
Maybe posting pictures of him and some other gal unknown to her get her pretty irritated, but she keeps it at that, if it’s just a friend or a fan but if they dare to kiss him on the cheek there’s hell to pay. For Joe, maybe her hotheadedness she’s always ready to throw down and someone is about to catch those hands, babe there’s better ways to settle things down
How would each reconcile with each other after a fight?
Both go their separate ways for a while to cool off, (or make up immiediately after the spat is one was clearly in the wrong), and come back with an apology and explanation, maybe a gift if it was “ditching your date after three months of not seeing one another”
What would be their ideal vacation getaway together?
Somewhere with tons of fresh air and outdoor activities, maybe somewhere relatively close too
Think of a new way (AU, different situation, etc.) they could have met for the first time.
Joe’s on a job with Morri, they come across an abandoned building and hear rustling and cluttering from inside and go check it out bc there’s some bandits in the are, turns out, it’s a short red haired scavenger, how did she end up there, no one knows. She does show to be little agitated by them interrupting her diggings though
