You. Thoughts on uni2 story content?
admittedly i havent played the Most bc ive been recovering from getting my teeth yoinked and fighting game takes too much brain power atm BUT. confused as to why theres no proper story mode like chronicle was in cl-r, as for arcades- intrigued by linne's specifically and tbh kinda happy about it. enk's is SO...... BITING HIM. CARMINE'S IS FUCKING BONKERS BUT HONESTLY I CAN'T SAY I EXPECTED ANY LESS FROM HIS CRAZY ASS
overall. in general. Tonally. the Finality of it feels. not. actually? there? really? it seems arbitrary. it's hard to have actual like. how do i put it. meat. of a story. without a real story mode. like all we get are arcades??? both from a storytelling standpoint and also like ALL the promo material it kinda falls flat on what was promised, or at least Implied. i was literally streaming it for my bf day 1 and when i opened the game one of the first things i said was "wait there's no actual story mode option?" to have such heavy emphasis on how this is the End this is the Last one For Real feels forced when we haven't had any legit buildup to that point and even in the game itself aside from cliche anime vague dialogue about how This Needs To End and whatnot it doesn't narratively convey this all that effectively
like personally im not all that . idk. disappointed? by that bc i still need to catch up on chronicle mode from cl-r and haven't had time/focus to do so buuuuut... like. idk it feels weird now? why'd they throw chronicle into the middle game and now leave the supposed last one hanging. especially when theres a lot of loose plot threads that arent getting delivered on adequately, and by the fundamental nature of arcade modes in fighting games none of them are exactly fully 100% for real canon because there's a lot of contradictions so........ what does actually happen. kuon dies yeah sure that was his whole thing and kinda the whole conceit of this game sure sure whatever but like what ELSE? esp with carmine's arcade being so tonally weird the whole time and him talking about how he's dying anyway like SURE IN HIS ENDING HE GOES FULLY APESHITT BUT LIKE WHAT HAPPENS TO HIM FOR REALSIES DOES HE JUST DESPAWN?
all this aside its fun and i like it and all howwwwever there is a slight sense of like.. barring system rework and ui updates it feels like this could just be cl-r dlc of kaguya tsurugi and kuon and not a hell of a lot would change overall?

Fix-it-upper
Tumblr media
This is for my girlfriend Mari @creedslove
LadySabes x reader (whom i use the name yani)
Victoria and yani had been together for a few months. This was new territory for Victoria who had been used to people just wanting what they could get from her.
This was their first valentines day together and Victoria was really nervous. So wanted everything to do smoothly and to be really nice.
After all the violence and pain in her life, she was ready for some softness in her life.
But she wasnt sure what to do, how to be. She was scared of screwing up or having her heart broke.
She didnt know what to get her new honey neither. She didnt wanna go for the cliche chocolates or teddies or flowers. She wanted something better. But she also couldnt get over the fact that Valentines day WAS such a cliche. It was safe to say she was torn. She had never spent valentines with anyone!
But the days and weeks of worrying made her forget when the day actually came.
She was a late sleeper and dozily got up and plodded downstairs where Yani was making some sandwiches for lunch.
Victoria went and checked the planner for the day and took some orange juice from the fridge...and froze.
It was Valentines day! Today! Shit! Like a deer in the headlights she turned towards her gf and gulped down the last of the juice in her hand.
"H-hey baby... happy vanetines day!!" Victoria said whilst trying to think of something she can do and pass off as something already planned.
Dinner she'd cook dinner! She couldnt cook to save her life, but its the thought that counts right?!
"Happy Valentine's day!" Yani chirped back happily.
Victoria waited...and waited...
Well where the hell was her card and present?!
She watched yani go and sit down on the sofa and turn on the tv. Did she forget? Was this a game? What was going on?!
"Er.. are we...have you...HUN! wheres my card and gift?!"
"I didnt think i needed to? I mean its a commercial thing...right?" Yanis tone shifted. Oh shit...did she get this wrong! I mean her honey was always hesitant with showing affection, it was hard to know. Victoria celebrates Valentines?!
On the one hand she found it really sweet and touching that her big badass girl of hers was actually a big softie sweetheart who does corny stuff like valentines. But on the other...she was totally illprepared for this. Mostly she was worried how she was going to react now.
Victoria rocked back on her heels and took a deep breath. "I see...so you thought that because its not a big deal for you, it wouldnt be a big deal for me?"
"No...well...a little, but...i didnt know it was! Hun, if i knew i wouldve...ya know...prepared a bit...im sorry...are you okay?"
"Im fine" Victoria responds flatly and walks back upstairs and slams the door.
Yes she forgot, but this...this...'frail' just 'assumed' she didnt celebrate something meant for couples. Yes it was a tacky day. But she still wanted a tacky day with her kitten. She wanted to be sappy with someone. And she thought she could with her. Old feelings started to stir in her. And her heart started to break.
Yani downstairs started to really worry. She knew about Victorias past. And really hoped she hadnt ruined things between them. Or worse, that Victoria was hurt by her. She didnt know what to do.
Upstairs Victoria sat on the bed and found tears rolling down her cheeks. Yani was the first person she ever loved. But it was clear she didnt feel the same way. But she had been so sure. Just the way they spoke. But the more Victoria recounted stuff, she saw a difference. In every fight, Victoria was the one to defend yani against explodes and punches. Whenever they were seperated by missions, it was only Victoria who would send her stuff back home. Whenever Yani was sad, Victoria would do her best to find her stuff to cheer her up. This came with a lot of effort on Victorias part, because every time she did this, she felt like she was offering her heart on the chopping block. She was just waiting for the knife to come down. But she kept trying, it was hard for her, but she believed in them as a couple so strongly. But today...today she didnt feel that yani felt the same way.
There was a light knock on the bedroom door as yani called to see if she was okay. Victoria shot up off the bed and whipped open the door with a snarl. GET OUT!! JUST GO!!
Yani stood there in shock. "N-no! no!"
"I said. Get. Out!"
"NO! im not leaving. Victoria ive said im sorry, what more do you want from me?! Its just valentines day! come on! You know i love you"
"Do i?! DO I?! ha! no, but this is just the icing! When was the last time you did something nice for me? When was the last time you went out of YOUR WAY to express how much i mean to you? HUH?! WHEN?! you dont love me! So dont even try that! Its just words, yani!"
Yani began to sob. She loved Victoria with all her heart. She was her everything, her whole world. "I do love you. I love you so much" she groaned feeling the bottom of her stomach drop. She could feel Victoria pushing her away and she was scared of losing her for good. "You are so important to me. I screwed up today, okay? But that doesnt mean throwing away everything we have, and could have! Im not leaving Vick! im not! youre gonna have to manually pick me up and throw me out because I AM NOT GOING ANYWHERE!! ITS NOT JUST WORDS! IM NOT LEAVING YOU. NEVER. YOU ARE MY MATE AND THIS....ME AND YOU...IS A FOREVER KIND OF DEAL! YOURE THE FIRST THING I THINK ABOUT WHEN I WAKE UP AND THE LAST THING I SEE BEFORE GOING TO SLEEP! AND YOU DAMN WELL KNOW THAT! okay, so we can improve on things and...and i will try to express affection in other ways.... BUT I AM NOT GOING TO LET YOU GIVE UP ON US!
Victoria stood there in the door way and watched her kitten explode. Her shoulders and head slumped down as she pouted. She wasnt leaving. She didnt want her kitten to leave. but she was always expecting her to. She'd leave herself if she could. The sad truth of the matter was that Victoria never felt like she mattered much to anyone. But the fact she so vehemently wasnt going to leave, made Victoria lift her heart a little and made her believe that maybe...maybe things can be different and in time....maybe she could be different. Be better. She turned, taking yanis hand and led her to bed, curling her arm around Victorias waist. "Just hold me, okay?"
Yani sniffled and buried her face in Victorias back and whispered "Okay....its okay....im here...im sorry vicky, im so so sorry... we'll make it better okay?"
Victoria silently nodded and tightened her hold on her mates hand. Just stay. And keep me safe from the monsters.
"I love you Victoria Creed." yani whispered, kissing her back.
"I love you too" Victoria whispered in a emotionally broken tone. She was going to take some work. "Im sorry im so broken"
"youre not broken baby....you just need some TLC...which youre gonna have an endless supply of with me" yani smiled, feeling so much love for her mate.
Victoria released her hold and turned round and buried herself into yanis chest and held her close to her. "Promise"
"I promise"

part 2 of 3rd grade teacher nursey?? yes?? ok
(part one)
calls all of his kiddos “little bro” regardless of gender. the occasional “little dude” or “little man”
the first time he wears a short sleeve dress shirt to school all the kids are obsessed with his tattoo
“mr n has a forever drawing on his arm :000″
hes the ultimate kid whisperer. anything these kids throw at him? hes got it covered
kids are fighting about who gets the 64 pack of crayons. jeremy got them yesterday and now he wants them again?? theres like 4 other kids who want to use them jeremy dont be a dick
nursey’s like “can i give you guys a special project? i need a big drawing to put up on the wall. but you all have to help and you all need to use the crayons”
jeremy, immediately distributing the crayons and getting a big ass piece of paper: ok mr n!!!!!!
his kids are so funny theyre all like little adults and that’s exactly how he treats them!! miss him with that corny “singing songs about sharing and rainbows” bullshit thats for kindergarteners and he knows they all know that
if the kids are fighting they turn the class into a courtroom and head straight to arbitration. jenny pulls the receipts from lunch yesterday when kate said her butterfly scrunchie was ugly. nursey is impressed
one kid is super into reading and writing poetry and reminds him of when he was a little 9 year old poetry ho, so he brings in some of his own poetry books to let her borrow and she reads them in like 2 days
some of the other kids are into it too and ask to read the books, so he brings in some of his lighter poetry collections from home and the kids set up a “mr n’s library” shelf where all the classroom books are
most of his books are from high school/college so they’re too hard for 3rd graders, but he prints out some of his favorites that his moms read to him when he was little 
they have recess inside when it snows and they start reading poems to each other out loud, nursey is like !!! bc holy shit theyre really showing an interest in this!! it’s like a mini poetry slam and its the coolest thing hes ever seen
a lot of the classrooms have little bulletin boards outside with a picture of each kid and nursey’s board is all self portraits he had them draw, but the only rule was they had to draw themselves doing what they want to do when they grow up 
so he has a bunch of princesses and racecar drivers and dolphin trainers  (and one real estate lawyer...marcus knows what he wants)
he gets so may drawings of him and he saves all of them
 he has a little folder in his desk with lie 15 drawings of him at the beach, in a hockey uniform, riding a shark in space (his personal favorite) etc
also strict no name calling policy 
 the kids p much adhere to this bc disappointing mr. n feels like disappointing your dad except 4000x worse bc mr. n is also like ur dad and best friend and your older brothers cool friend all in one
 hes that Cool Teacher that everyone has an inside joke with 
he loves it 
goes on insane vacations during winter break (this year his mom had a conference in dubai so he and his other mom surprised her there) and the kids make him show the pics he took from the trip
this clumsy fuck leaves his lesson plan at home so Hero Boyfriend justin oluransi saves the day and drops it off in nursey’s classroom 15 minutes after class starts, and gives him a kiss on the cheek before leaving
nineteen 9 year olds all at once: awww
watching nursey lead his kids through the hallway and out to the buses is so cute bc he looks like hes herding a bunch of little ducklings around
thursdays are his days out on the playground as a monitor and he starts a co-ed game of street hockey 
by the third week, most of the playground is either playing in or watching the game
nursey is the ref but will play occasionally; when he plays he ends up with a kid sitting on each of his feet clinging to his leg to slow him down
“this is definitely a penalty, little man”
also he always brings extra juiceboxes and snacks in his bag in case he sees anyone without a lunch/snack
one kid always sits alone at lunch and reads, so nursey sits with her and they talk about whatever book shes reading that day
he lives in the same town he teaches so he’ll run into kids and parents at the grocery store, park, etc
before he even sees them he can hear a little “mr n!!!” from a few yards away and his heart does a lil flip bc!! kiddo!!
(oh shit what if he wasnt dating ransom yet but had his kid in class so he was just Hot Dad At Stop & Shop...interesting concept)
ANYWAYS parent teacher conferences were hella stressful his first year (”what if they dont like me what if they get mad at me for teaching wrong”)
by his second/third year? hes every parents fave and he knows it
hes also super pumped for them now bc he has the chance to tell these parents how awesome their kids are
the end of the school year? exciting but also sad as hell bc hes so close with these 20 little humans who trust him to teach them multiplication and how to write haikus
they surprise him with a big ass scrapbook of pics of them on field trips and stuff and add little letters at the end about how awesome 3rd grade was with him
he cries and says he’ll keep it forever (they made him pinky promise)
tldr: you know miss honey from matilda? thats nursey as an elementary school teacher. thank u for your time
