#like it's happy v1 made it and everything

[muzzleroars]

I'm sorry if this has been already asked but what's V2's relationship/dynamic with V1?

Also, whats V2's reaction to V1's ascension/being risen?

eventually it's 100% an evil sibling dynamic, but it takes quite some time for v2 and v1 to understand each other. v2's resistance is obvious, it's been left bitter by their prior encounters and, at a fundamental level, it believes v1 is far more like the other machines than it is...and it's right. v2 was trained extensively on human learning/behavioral models, it thinks in a very different way despite v1 also being highly sophisticated and sharing the same hardware for its mind. v2 saw v1 as a pure war machine, one so perfect for its purpose that it couldn't find a place in the new peace (ask it, it knows). essentially, it doesn't really believe v1 is capable of bonding, is capable of connection, and it believes, for some time, gabriel has projected his own feelings on it. however, v2 has very few options for social relationships in hell, something it needs given its development, and gabriel is about the only choice it has. it pointedly avoids v1 when visiting, not really trying to change gabriel's mind but also not listening when he insists how v1's grown by leaps and bounds. it isn't until v1 makes the effort, that v1 tries interacting with it in non-violent ways, that it begins to reconsider. it's easy to push it away at first, but v1 keeps coming back, even going so far as to not engage it when v2 instigates in exasperation...and it doesn't know WHAT to think. when it signs out to it that gabriel said it should try, that gabriel told it v2 is the only family it has left (and he's very insistent. it would make him happy, it tells v2). when it sees something deeper in v1, that it isn't just a perfect, mindless murderer, it begins to let its guard down little by little around it.

when they grow more comfortable with each other, v2 STILL thinks v1 is more than a little unhinged from its corrupted software and v1 thinks v2 is more than a little strange, trying to act like people, but it becomes much more pestering/teasing each other. this. looks a little different in what's essentially two tiny war machines, but gabriel quickly learns a vast majority of what they do is now "play" fighting, despite the damage it causes to the surrounding area. however, i do think they learn A LOT from each other in very good ways - v1 sees v2 modeling behaviors in a way it understands much better and it helps it be gentle with gabriel, while v1 teaches v2 that it's okay to let go of that, that it is a machine and can act like one when it wants to. they would never admit they're copying each other, but gabriel finds it incredibly endearing that they make all these little connections because no one else left in the world could understand each other the way they do in many ways. i even...like the idea that v1 gives the knuckleblaster back, so long as v2 helps it make a new one (v2 is much more gifted in crafting than v1...and it's more v1 helping v2 make it.....with the help very unhelpful at times.....) in the end, they're still committed to terrorizing each other, but they also grow close in their own way and would absolutely defend the other if needed. (gabriel is overjoyed and v1 is happy he's happy)

as far as risen v1 goes, i think v2 is likely around in the initial process given how long it takes - gabriel takes his light back, but v1 lays dormant in heaven for quite some time. v2, in and out of heaven itself often for visiting mike, probably does what it can to comfort gabriel during this time. it's not particularly good at that kind of thing, but it was dead too, after all, and he saved it then....why couldn't he do it now with v1? it's genuinely unsure if it will work and....something in it is sad to see v1 so deteriorated, so silent and still. it takes that to mike though, knowing gabriel doesn't need the additional grief, relating how the two never came to fully understand one another, but not thinking it matters either way. it had grown to appreciate v1's presence and there truly isn't anything that could remotely replace it. but when v1 wakes, when all of its circuitry lights up in bright blue, v2 is relieved with gabriel. for a minute. until it realizes the kind of terror it's going to be now that it can...fly. it kind of maybe holds out hope for a second that something in it will be tempered by gabriel's light but that only lasts until it sees it crawling all over gabe like an aphid before immediately leaping off the tallest building it can find. so while everyone is amazed at v1's successful rise, v2 thinks it's going to move to heaven permanently because it is NOT living near THAT.

#like it's happy v1 made it and everything #but it doesn't want to be NEAR it now #although maybe that's when it and mike go to live on the surface for awhile #i like to think they do at some point #v2 misses earth a lot and mike really enjoys being in nature now so! #cake answers #v2 #v1 #rise and fall au

i literally never post of my own volition but i noticed yesterday that ao3 canonised the unbound character tags so now i am excitedly running around in circles because the. the . the tags i am lovingly fostering exist. I MADE THESE TAGS WITH MY OWN TWO HANDS.

the funniest thing about this is that "protagonist's name is fern!" links to the francis character tag... i am sorry... for changing his name.......

the general unbound fandom tag is under pokemon fan games which is understandable. but i am so. i am soooooo fucking happy about this. fuck.

#pokemon unbound #urheuwhdhghsf i am a polished fic writer who started tags i feel so. i feel sooooo accomplished #sorry i am head full of the main gang... i have no plans for the rest of the characters to have a lead role yet....... #i absolutely love fern but my friends were all like 'wait unbound's protag is called francis? not fern?' when i told them about this #which is fucking hilarious. at this point he's literally just an oc who looks a lot like francis #also um. um. god i should say this too but fern is kinda like a whole separate guy from francis at this point we've given him so much lore #francis is the name we give to v1 unbound's protagonist actually! #'why this specifically?' you ask. good question. i am happy to share fern lore just ask me please. i wanna talk about him #i feel kinda insane honestly i'm so ridiculously happy over this #i made them in like january? with the upload of steps? god it's been six months #whiiiiiich is to say. please fucking read steps it's . it's so everything #anyway i enjoy unbound and fax a normal amount please look out for more unbound content in the future!!!! #that is all from your resident fax truther... #it's time to fix all my fucking tags

i find it funny how ruby's "then you must've forgotten who raised me" is taken as gospel and proof that yang raised ruby alone for several years when it's. preceded by ruby outright lying about the reason why she ended up in the ever after: at no point was ruby planning to jump into the void after yang. they all thought it meant death, and after ruby drank the tea yang didn't try to follow her, either. it feels... absurd to take what ruby is essentially saying—"i would follow you to death because that's how you raised me :)"—as the truth when later it's made clear that yang isn't reciprocating in the same, self-destructive manner.

like. it just makes yang seem super awful?? that she would raise ruby to follow her to death, but she won't do the same in return??? is this really the hill people are willing to die on???

anyway. yang is upset that ruby is there after she tried to save her, and ruby is trying to make yang feel better. that's what the scene is about. much later, when ruby snaps, she says this to yang: "'gotta stay positive!' right?! smiles all around! maybe even get our feelings sorted out!"

ya know. to yang, who makes jokes to hide her fear, her discomfort, her pain.

according to yang, tai "kind of shut down", but we know this doesn't mean that he fell into a depression so deep he couldn't even get out of bed; yang needed to wait for him to be out of house to sneak out—meaning he was attentive of them—, ruby relates to penny for having a dad who worries a lot, he reads them bedtime stories, he was busy with work, ruby's memories have him right there present even after summer's disappearance, etc.

(and that's without mentioning that ice queendom's website description for tai sites him as having raised ruby and yang on his own. or that according to the writers and voice actors alike, yang can't cook.)

everything that we've learned, from V1 to V5 discussion between yang and weiss to V9 points towards the issues of yang and ruby's childhood being emotional. tai didn't literally 'shut down', he just wasn't the same happy, positive person than he was before summer disappeared—and of course he wasn't, he was grieving. and yang took it upon herself to be that person, to 'pick up the pieces', to stay positive and to be smiles all around, making jokes to hide her true feelings, just to bring that little bit of normalcy back to their home.

and ruby followed along. there was no time to sort out feelings, you just had to be happy in the face of great grief. no one in this family really has: tai was focused on raising his daughters (a trait ruby and yang both exhibit: focusing on something else, doing chores or helping others, even when they're not doing do well themselves), he wasn't going to burden them with his issues, and who knows where qrow was doing that time, drowning in his own sorrows; and yang and ruby were busy staying Positive™... until the fall of beacon happened, and yang got to start her journey of sorting her feelings outs. maybe she hasn't quite reached the end of that journey, but she's well on her way. ruby isn't, tho, hence her words to yang when she snapped: it feels unfair, that they've been in the same spot for so long and now yang is moving forward but ruby can't. doesn't feel she's allowed to.

and i feel like V9 perfectly showcased how it was in their childhood even if they were asked "are you okay?": avoid the question, pretend you're okay, happy, smiling, whatever. there's only so much one can do to force the issue if the other person is avoiding it altogether.

anyway. they're finally getting out of the cycle of toxic positivity. the wound is now healing.

can't wait for summer to appear to open a new one.

#this has been on my mind for eternity and i'm just #flabbergasted #like people want yang to be some sort of a super-sister but instead make her look awful and i'm just #why do you hate her lmao

[!] SPOILERS FOR LAYER 7 UNDER CUT

[ short and shitty writing blurb about how (i hc) v1 feels when it really enters violence / 7-2. based on one of the doodles i posted earlier, inspired by @/hmmbo ]

"DON'T YOU FEEL RIGHT AT HOME?"

The gunshots ringing in the distance and what could be discerned as a cacophony of muffled screaming was drowned out by the cheerful, lazy jazz playing from the terminal. Though air strikes left improvisional percussion parts to the track from afar, the same chipper tune was the same. Carefree.

The machine had always found it to be a little unnerving, but... how could the terminal be so. Happy?

Was that even the word for it? Was it happy?

In the face of carnage and mindless massacre, the terminal stood sentry at its post waiting for it to come around again. For its wares. Advice. Chatter. There was no time for chatter, it could not begin to hear itself think over the whistling wind as warheads flew into the sky. Lightning, and then thunder. Impact, and then explosion.

...'Right at home'?

It looked ahead from the text of the terminal, the skyline. The machines by the horizon standing proudly, heads just barely scraping the inky black clouds, and the thing itself could not help but wonder.

This particular machine had been cancelled before it could ever near mass production, the people having no need for a weapon in times of (new) peace. But if it hadn’t, if it had been sent out there for its intended purpose, was this the same sky it would have seen? These hulking beasts trudging along slowly, leaving nothing in their wake but destruction; they were not all that different, the thing finds.

War was what they were made for, or so it could gather from its old directives. But this? If this was war, as bleak and grotesque as it was, why can it not help but be almost… Happy?

Was that even the word for it? Was it happy?

The scenery sets off every signal in its frame for danger, blaring like the sirens in the distance, but it cannot help but feel that it must plunge itself into the front lines, stick its fist into the rotting flesh of its new adversaries. The machine was finally in its element, a place where it was capable of doing everything it was meant to, and yet it finds itself paralyzed at the terminal’s station.

It had never known that it would be like this. It had never known that this was what it had missed.

[theinkymystery]

Hello to the Author and Editor of Inky Mysteryy!!! I've really liked your work and i consider it as special since it really influenced me(or im just easy to influence) and everything about it UGHHHHHHHHH ITS SSOOOOOOOOOO GREAAAAATTTT anywayss, Inky Mystery made me do lots of fanarts, A WHOLE BUNCH. I mostly posted them in my acc (new to tumblr anyways) and their descriptions too. Here's some of my fanarts:

(sorry for the fold Hehe)

Play the Exit Song (ik its messy XD)

Anyways, the Not-cup character doesn't exist, i just misinterpreted him as an actual one, which i know isnt canon but i did it anyway XD

Double Trouble version 2(version 1 is unfinished tho and is digital, i got lazy to finish it so HAHAHA v1 features only Mayhem and Holly, while this one adds Cuphead nd Not-Cup)

The Slap scene after the Gala (still disappointed to Cup for his actions, great writing btw, it really made me feel the characters, specially Holly my fav)

Letter-less version

The Marvelous Mayhem (she's one of the most mysterious character if ya asked me, i also liked her bcoz of this and i often doodle her)

Lukahd, infamously known as The Lady of Despair (anime style)

Angel-Demon War but only shows Ventis and Lukahd

(srry that its landscape)

And tthis is how i imagine Metatron would look like( i purposely didn't put his halo bcoz it was takenby the Guardian Angels at some point, right?)

Welp, thats my favorites!(sorry for the bad lighting and blurry cam tho) Hope ya like it. You really have great writing skills and im curious about the timeline of when the parts were distributed and hidden by the micco, angels and dishes. Tho, don't answer this one if it needs ta give us spoilers. Also Mayhem's origin, how the Night terror has been now and about what Cuphead felt after he hurt Holly's feelings. (curious for the latter). For the tear tho that a certain cat god fixed, was it like a tear in a paper? Since they live in a 1930s cartoon style right? So it may be comparable to a torn paper with a tape XD. I really like Holly and i was new to the Colly ship when u broke my heart. I was rlly disappointed with Cup's actions, and it was all bcoz of your great writing! I hope they can get the last part and find the Ink Machine on time, I rlly miss their old selves, where they were still happy. I just wanna how u these fanarts of mine, icant rest easily knowing that my favorite author wont see my fanarts(and how much i dedicate to it and love the fanfic novel)

Anyways, that's all i wanna say XD (too many, troublesome me) you have great writing, i love ur work and prolly i wont stop at making fanarts of it XDD

These are BEAUTIFUL arts! Thanks so much for sharing them!

Yup! The tear was sort of like a tear in a piece of paper. :)

Hi, what about v1, v2 x reader - gone from hell?

After Hell's Fall

general post-hell headcanons (included characters; V1, V2) x reader content (read platonic or romantic)

━━━━━━━━━▼━━━━━━━━━

V1 - most likely becomes a form of nomad after completing their crusade in hell, I doubt they would ever stop moving, it's just how they were made - does become lost without their programmed goal to complete, finding themself lacking the previous motivation they had, but they soon find exploring and spending time with you to be fufilling. while there are no more husks to kill there is plenty of earth left to visit and many more moments to spend with you - in the remnants of society V1 is home, wether it be swinging between skyscapers or launching themself into the ocean from increasingly larger heights. expect each day to be full of shenanigans - V1 is extremely interested in human artifacts, most specifically music and magazines. they keep a scrapbook of sorts, crudely cut out images from old magazines are kept with an endearing level of idolisation - after leaving hell V1 makes a big decision, yes you can now touch their guns. they won't let you keep any of them, but they will take great delight in teaching you how to handle them - they have an innate ability to capture what they see, saving images and video for later. this is very often utilized while you both are visiting landmarks, they have seperate folders for genuinely beautiful pictures of you and comedically timed images - now that V1 has access to more complex art supplies they are in paradise, they have a very unique perception of the world and it's always a treat to see what new patch of graffiti they have added to the world - will modify themself in minor ways, most likely making themself stockier, physically stronger and increasing the mobility of the joints in their hands to allow them more precise gestures - they have a particular fondness for birds, its about the only creature that will wilingly get close to them. while you sleep V1 will see how many birds they can lure to sit next to them - you both eventually find a way for V1 to function without consuming blood, or limiting their consumption to where they can survive off the occasional animal or perhaps yourself. this doesn't change V1's love for carnage, its not out of malice, they are just programmed for violence, so occasionally they will just destroy things - they really like the idea of clothing, and though it will take a little bit of altering to fit their wings, they very much appreciate being able to customise their appearance in this way, a form of self determination and control they weren't able to perform earlier

V2 - if V1 is still alive i'm afraid their main goal will be to either kill or inconvenience them as much as possible. V2 likes you, but they like being a pain in V1's ass even more - besides giving chase to their sibling model, they are similarly nomadic in their choice of lifestyle. unless you really wanted to stay somewhere, V2 is happy to scour the earth in search of new sights. they find particular joy in trashing literally everything they get their hands on - even after finding a way for V2 to run on less blood, they will consume as much as they can. if you really want to spare the random animal they caught they will relent, reluctantly, but elsewise they are going to kill most things they find - doesn't have much interest in seeing most of humanity's creations, music and the arts aren't really their thing, cars however are. now there isn't an urgency to move around, V2 likes taking their time outfitting a car they claimed as their own - mods themself fairly quickly, mostly with things that help them maintain their car or traverse devastated cities. originally didn't care about clothing, however they did realise that contact with them would be more comfortable if they wore clothing. it's a surpise to see them wearing their extremely tattered hoodie, but you appreciate the gesture none the less - will help you aquire your own weapons and help you mod them, they have a very advanced understanding of both mechanics and gunsmithing and can help you make nearly anything you wish - the prolonged distance from violence does help damped their temper, that isn't to say they are particularly peaceful, but its a noticable improvement - much more of their focus is now on you, before they had to one up V1 and destroy hell first, but now they have a much clearer schedule they ahve decided impressing you is also fufilling. V1 couldn't garner your attention like they could (wether this goal justifies their rampant destruction is up to you, just avoid pointing it our lest you have a very embarrased murder machine) - they tend to struggle with boundaries now there isn't much for them to do by themselves, being firm with them that you need space won't hurt their feelings, they appreciate straight fowardness. do expect them to linger nearby, much like a cat they want to know what you're up to literally all the time - they tend to be a little theatrical with their gestures to make up for their lack of voice, they will literally fall over in frustration. if they find out you enjoy this, oh boy, expect shakespearean reactions to the most minor of things, anything to make you laugh

━━━━━━━━━▼━━━━━━━━━

i was unsure wether the anon wanted a modern au or a natural continuation of the plot, i picked the second, the both of you returning to an earth without humanity. if anyone is interested in a modern au please feel free to request that. thanks for your time :)

[madness-in-the-flesh]

Ngl, being Anon is hard. I've never done it before until your blog and I'm this close to revealing myself to you in DM or something.

However, I will keep going for a bit ^^ I love requesting for you, although I'd hate to over do it.

This concept has been bouncing around in my head.

Think of the size difference with Yandere! Mag Agents. They could carry you around everywhere and you couldn't disagree.

I was mainly thinking Mag Agent Torture or any of the other variations (v1 - v4) but Mag Hank could technically use height/size to his advantage with a Darling. Intimidation and stuff, y'know?

Idk, do what you will with this info! Drabble or no I kinda want to see your thoughts if you do Mags.

- 💜

Do whatever you'd like and feel comfortable with. If you feel comfortable talking to me in dms but don't want to come off anon when requesting, go ahead +) I 100% understand and if not, Then I 100% understand too! but in the end it's entirely up to you and what you feel comfortable / happy with! I'm just excited to get the chance to know you via anon because your really sweet and I love seeing you in my ask box !! <3

I'm very happy to hear you love requesting from me though +) means a lot to hear and your requests are always fun to write!

I HAVE to agree w/ you though. You bet the Mags would 100% abuse their size but also they probably like holding you like a child with a teddy bear. I couldn't disagree even if I wanted to because then each Mag would pick me up by my ankles and swing me around and throw me like a hammer toss.

Okay so originally I had headcannons AND a short paragraph at the end written for a good couple mags in game yesterday but Tumblr decided " wouldn't it be funny if we reloaded this post JUST before posting the finished thing " so I'm just gonna write a quick thing for Mag Hank, hope that's cool +') I might rewrite the stuff I had in future tho.

MAG! HANK DRABBLE

GENRE - ROMANTIC / PLATONIC

TRIGGER WARNING - Intimidation, manipulation, kidnapping implied,

Not much you can do when you're backed into a corner like a frightened kitten and that mean ol’ dog that’s been chasing you all over Nevada, and now the enclosure he made for you out of love suddenly decides to rear its ugly head. With the current state of everything, it didn’t surprise you. 

You tried to press yourself into the wall as much as possible as if somehow you’d shrink into the behind, turning to sludge and moulding into the wall. Maybe in a better place but it only made more room for the large Mag to close in. Hank had been… different ever since the magnification took place. His whole temperament was thrown off and was a lot more animalistic. Possessive. Where once that security he felt because he knew no one was better than him: But no need for you to interact with others, was now replaced with the need to be the only one you interacted with. The only one who could lay eyes on you, touch you, breathe you in and exhale your aura. He adored you. 

The shadow looming over your retreating form was enough to establish himself. Intimidating you, perhaps he wasn’t receptive. After all Hank’s intelligence had… gone down considerably, favouring his newfound brute strength over any previous strategy. Then again, his endurance had gone up considerably since then. Maybe he had just decided that a game plan was for the frail. For someone like you, trying to crawl away from him. A futile attempt at your own little escape.

The next action solidified that he was well aware of the effect this new stature had on you. Reaching down with his right arm, The one that was of crimson, matching that of dried blood decorated with strange spikes protruding out of his shoulders and strange orange stripes going down the outside. It was otherworldly and even more reason to get as far away as possible. 

He wrapped it around you and roughly grappled you into his arms. He didn’t say anything, Just beginning to walk off and through the “ home ” he set up for you and him. You struggled and wiggled in his grasp, hoping to escape but your blood ran cold when you watched the shadow of his head rear over you. Looking up, He was staring at you. 

You could feel his chest rumble as he began to let out a low growl. It was deep, gravely and carnal. You didn’t know why you felt so intimidating but the looming dread that suddenly filled the atmosphere. Maybe it was the deathly quiet combined with the silent mountain of a man finally making his first vocal response since you had begun the chase, hours ago. In all that time running, climbing and doing everything to get away from him, He never made one comment. 

His face never gave anything away thanks to the headgear, but you could only imagine the cold stare he was giving you. Invisible eyes glared daggers that stabbed into your skin, pricking you with every little blade as you turned away. With some failed attempt at shielding yourself from all the tiny cuts, beginning to sting you with fear. The feeling of your heart beating terror acted as the tempo for hank’s footsteps as he began to walk again, heavy footsteps calling into the white noise around the place. Empty and cold, Only making you feel more afraid for your safety. It only made your coercion so much easier. Hank was happy with this. 

You were so much easier to handle when you were afraid.

Pink Satin

Summary: A follow up to Pink Velvet. Grief does strange things to you, like make you angry and...forgetful. Or does it?

Pairing: Jack "Whiskey" Daniels X F!Reader

---

Daylight is peeking through the blinds like a curious child, wondering if you’re awake. You are stretched out in the middle of your bed, a luxury you enjoy up until the time you realise that the only reason you can do that is because Jack is missing from his place beside you.

Josie’s insistent questioning had inadvertently scratched the scab off your heart the previous night.

It was a flimsy scab held together with platitudes and resignation, but one that you forced yourself to grow out of necessity. You had a little life to nurture. Some days it felt like yours was over, but hers wasn’t. She might never see her dad again but you were going to make sure she always had her mama. 

The first misting of tears stings your eyes as you recall how you pleaded with them. How you desperately pushed for answers. 

It was night time, your phone cradled to your ear. Your heart beating so hard that it pushed your breath out in uneven bursts. Your blood wailed in your ears as you tried to parse out what the woman on the other end of the line was saying. 

“I’m sorry, he’s not…he’s not coming home.” 

Your knees had buckled then. You clumsily crumpled onto the soft carpet below, your knuckles whitening over the receiver. 

“What do you mean? I don’t understand. He was just gone for three days…I…is he…? Ginger…”

Tears violently spilled over your cheeks as you resisted saying the word. Your vocal chords burned with the effort of not saying it. 

“You won’t see him again, I’m sorry. We’ll keep trying, but we’re not hopeful. I’m so….sorry.” 

The phone line clicked and you were alone. 

You felt darkness folding you up and unfolding you again in a different shape. 

For a moment it was blank and then it felt like something had sucked the air out of your lungs and made physical pain blossom in your chest. 

You had to feel a part of him, something that was real and that was here and, panicking, you scrambled up from the floor. 

Standing by your daughter’s crib, silent sobs shaking your shoulders violently. You reached out and gently petted her over the bedcovers, hands shaking as you tried to stay silent. Tears cascaded down your cheeks as you tried to ground yourself by touch. Your and Jack’s baby, safe. 

Josie made a mewling sound, the one she made when she was waking up. You bent over and cradled her to your chest. The moment the warm little baby nestled against you, your grief, too large to contain anymore, spilled out of you in ragged sobs. You pressed her against yourself like a talisman, like she could ward off this bad dream. 

Well, bad dreams also come true. 

Two weeks later you were on the phone with them again, your voice cracking, your desperation sitting under your skin like a blooming bruise. 

“Ginger, you can’t tell me you’ve stopped looking. It’s Jack for god’s sake. You can’t just give up.” 

“I’ve done everything I can. We just have to wait.” 

You had growled in frustration and flung the phone across the room as hard as you could muster. It crashed into a mirror, which broke loudly, glass pieces tinkling to the ground in the otherwise quiet house.

Several months later you stood in front of Statesman Distillery. In front of the entrance that Jack had told you about in case of an emergency. 

You gained entrance and walked right to the back, where you scanned Jack’s tag and the door to the main building smoothly slid open. You had nearly reached the front desk when Tequila walked towards you. 

“Listen now, I know why you’re here. I know you’re grievin’ and we’ll overlook you using Jack’s tags to enter the facility but you need to leave. Now.” 

You stood your ground, your grief now transmuted into anger, bright and flashing and indignant. 

“Where is Jack? He was on a mission for three days, he promised to be back. You can't just give up. Find him and bring him home.”

Tequila’s adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed, eyes shifting to the laboratories for a microsecond.

“You need to go. If I have to ask again, security will be escorting you out, or worse.” 

“Where - Is - Jack!?” Your voice lilted dangerously into hysteria. 

A flash of something close to sympathy and fear flashed over Tequila’s face. Then you were bodily grabbed by the arms and frogmarched out by a group of men. The fingers wrapped harshly around your arms was still a visceral memory to this day; you were convinced that if you pulled up your sweater you would still see the yellow lines that later blossomed into blue. 

After the encounter you drove home in silence. Arriving home, the door’s hinges creaked wearily behind you as you pressed it closed. You leaned against it for a moment, the dull thud of your heart a reminder that half of it was gone, but that it was still beating. You had relieved the babysitter of her duties moments while on the road - you didn’t have strength to face anyone, so she left minutes before you arrived.

You padded to Josie’s room, the nightlight throwing long, looming shadows against the walls. 

Looking down at her, your heart ached with how much she had grown from the tiny baby you brought home from the hospital. A tuft of curly hair was sticking up against the white baby mattress, and her dark lashes fanned out against her chubby cheeks. She had a thumb firmly stuck in her mouth, a self-soothing gesture that had begun only a week earlier when you couldn’t hide your tears at bedtime. You marveled at the small little girl who was at once so perceptive and innocent.

“Why Mama cwying?” 

“Mama is sad, darling.”

The big brown eyes regarded you with puzzlement. 

“No sad Mama, read Josie.” 

The plump little hand patted a book on the nightstand. Perhaps she didn’t understand distraction like an adult would, but even at a young age, your daughter instinctively knew the immersive and magical qualities of stories.

Returning from memory lane and back in your own bed, you stretch out one last time before taking a shower and getting dressed. You head for the door and opening it, nearly walk right into a wall of muscle. 

Two Statesman agents fill your doorway, blocking out sunlight and casting a threatening shadow over everything you held dear. One retracts his hand from where it was reaching for the doorbell. 

You wait. 

"Ma'am have you seen or heard anything strange lately?" 

It's an odd question asked by unknown men in what is your safe space. You are not having it. Not today. Your anger raises itself up like a Cobra, seething and ready to strike. 

"Well I see two agents on my doorstep who have no goddamned business being here after they took my life apart. That strange enough? No? Regular occurrence for you?" You spit sarcastically. 

You feel the anger pulse into your arms, making them itch. 

To rid yourself of the itch you push forward, shoving the two men aside like they're saloon doors as you walk out of the house. One grabs your wrist, and you spin around, eyes blazing. 

"You've done enough damage. Let go."

"Ma'am if you notice anything strange contact us." Yanking your arm back, you walk to the edge of the pavement and get into your car without soaring them a glance again. You rummage in your handbag until you see the black sedan pull away from the kerb. 

Your shoulders slump and you hide your face in your hands, tears rolling down your cheeks unhindered. Sitting like that for a minute, you try your best to breathe deeply and calm down before moving again.

Turning the key in the ignition, the car starts quietly. Then a sudden loud noise from the stereo makes you jump in your seat. 

Angel of the Morning plays loudly in the small space, Juice Newton's normally dulcet voice bouncing around obscenely before you manage to reach the knob to turn it down. 

Jack's favourite song. 

Except…

You didn't leave the radio on the day before.

What? This is what I thought when he has V1's parents' same reaction.

lucifer sees v1 as a work of art that has become an artist in itself - being once of god, unlike any other angel, lucifer has massive amounts of creativity and appreciation for what humanity achieved through their own god-given spark. but beyond that, for v1 in particular, he sees something that has moved past its makers, it has forged its own path in defiance of what it was made for. he is fascinated by its mind, its construction, its life as something that may or may not have a soul (for what constitutes a soul, even lucifer does not know). but importantly it is a life not made by god, it is removed from him, and he wants to meet what god did not create. he wants to see what a full, vibrant experience it has, and v1 sure does. not disappoint lol so animalistic in behavior but with a razor-sharp mind, its first action is probably to challenge him to a one-on-one fight - not a surprise, given how much he knows through hell itself, but he worries he won't be an impressive match for it. he had been inert for so long and really...lucifer was never a warrior, his strength bolstered purely by his closeness to god. still, like anyone that can face v1 and live to tell about it, he finds the fight inspired, unpredictable, and a beautiful insight into a mind he cannot understand despite his godly knowledge. he is not moved by battle, but he can feel how v1 is, its emotions showing through and resonating within lucifer so that he gains insight into its passion. v1 finds its fascination in turn, recognizing right away that lucifer is not a fighter yet there is a disjointed fluidity in his movement, his choices largely defensive and illusory - he wouldn't be v1's first choice as an opponent, though his skillset is unique enough that it doesn't get bored. they stand as two perfect creations, the pinnacle of what god and man could create, and they find interest in the other purely for how alien they are. lucifer made for love and creation, v1 for apathy and destruction, curious of the other as they have been steeped in the role of their opposite.

gabriel doesn't ever really say anything to lucifer about his relationship with v1, mostly figuring it wouldn't be of any relevance to him as he seems preoccupied with attending to his fallen angels. but also...gabriel's aware that lucifer knows most of what's happened in hell and so his partnership with v1 likely isn't a secret to him. unsurprisingly, lucifer doesn't broach the topic for some time, his talks with gabriel a bit sparing and distant with his mind so attuned now to a self-centered focus in his isolation (GENUINELY does not remember how to talk to other people). gabriel actually begins to think he might not even have an opinion on their relationship, but he finds out that's quite far from the truth once lucifer is able to acknowledge more outside of himself. it's just...not what gabriel expected, if he expected anything at all. lucifer, already coming in with an appreciation of the bizarre, is actually happy for what v1 and gabriel have together. their relationship entirely defies the "natural" order of things, an act that would have been condemned fully by god and denied even as possible by v1's makers. he is glad too to see that love led gabriel to something better, it allowed him to finally follow what his heart had been telling him for all this time. it is a very rare thing to find such a kindred spirit and then to defy everything you were told you are in pursuit of that....and lucifer can find nothing more noble in the world than that. so while he continues to harbor his own issues with gabriel, he believes v1 has improved him by bounds and that he is now far more "palatable" than his siblings. gabriel has no idea how to take this, but v1 labels it an "endorsement" of its "personality"

#gabriel tells it that might not be the best thing. coming from satan #gabriel supposes he should have guessed lucifer's approval though #he has been made THOROUGHLY contrary to all things #and so of course something everyone else finds bizarre gets the thumbs up #cake answers #lucifer #v1 #gabriel #rise and fall au

Behind the Scenes / Meta Commentary on RWBY: Amity Mega Thread.

I kinda want to take this time to and make a post detailing the kinda behind the scenes and processes that I went through while making this fanfic.

It’s nearing a full year that I’ve been working on this (the anniversary is June 1st I do believe). So I kinda. Just want to have a place to share and ramble on about what goes on inside my head while writing.

I started this fic when I was fresh out of high school and I have been struggling through college. The first 10 months was spent purely note taking. I was bing watching FRWBY and started to compare it to canon. Mostly V1-4 that is. Some parts of canon I really loved, such as the food fight or the Tyrian fight, or the lore. Man the lore is still something I think has me hooked to RWBY to this day. Of course this was a time when V8 was the last bit of RWBY content, so I was very not happy with the state of the show. So, I decided to write my own rewrite!

It was full of cliques and most of it took things either directly from FRWBY, canon, or other rewrites. This would become apparent to me down the line but for the first 3 months, it was nothing but making an outline for everything I needed.

It was a 10 Volume plan, structured into episodes that I would use as chapters. I think it was about 20 “episodes” per volume and it followed canon very closely. I only managed to write up an outline for one chapter, the very first one, and it was basically Salem and Ozpin’s talk from V1E1 mixed into the color trailers. It kinda worked out well because the last line of “a more simple soul” lined up with Ruby’s appearance in the Yellow Trailer. I also used the fractured moon as a transition, to really allow everything to feel connected. I had all of the color trailers happening in a single night, which looking back still feels like a cool idea.

Some parts of the original draft/notes have managed to remain a thing to this day. AroAce Ruby, Qrow being Ruby’s dad, Cardin being saved by Velvet, and Pietro and Maria having Ciel as their daughter are a few that come to mind.

Some more notable parts were scrapped when I later reworked the story into an AU. The Bees happening in V6, Summer turning out to be alive in the end, and Ironwood heroically sacrificing himself to slow down Salem. Some of those even if I wanted to keep now, would have no place in the story I’ve crafted today.

A story, with plots that I have planned out. The original draft didn’t have that until V9 and V10. The rest of it was basically canon retold. V1 ends fighting Torchwick, V2 ends with the Breach, V3 ends with the Fall of Beacon, etc. Anything else “original” was a long list of head canons that took up over 100 pages on Google Docs. My notes were all over the place and some conflicted with others.

I believe it was October that I decided to move from a rewrite to an AU. That was also the time that all of the stuff about RT came out and made me look back at some of the things I was going to include in my fic and made me realize: “Well I’m just repeating things that I find problematic in the show in my fic so am I really improving or changing anything?” That along with the lack of original ideas and direction made me sit down and get to work reforming my fic.

Before I get into that I want to mention that I did V9 both in a good and bad way. The good is that I really focused on each member of RWBY in the Ever After. Ruby with her role as a leader, Weiss with losing Atlas, Blake with feeling like she betrayed the Faunus, and Yang not feeling like she was able to protect those who she cared about. They all would talk and work together to help each other get back to Remnant and work through their problems. The bad is that half of the Volume was Ever After, and the other half was in Remnant following several factions across all of Remnant trying to gain support for the final battle at Beacon. So it was all over the place and no one got time to truly shine. Also I think this was the time that V9 was beginning to be teased so I was also trying to quickly add in details to an already messy Volume.

Step 1 was to organize my notes, which I did over the course of October to December(2022). November I spent diving into the wiki and this is where my 300+ characters came from. Worst part is? That the wiki has 400+ characters, I had to combine names and cut down a bit to make sure that everyone fit into four person teams. It’s closer to 200-250+ characters subtracting the major ones like Ruby or Coco or Whitley, etc. The rest were character names on Qrow’s scroll in V4, the huntsman boards in V7, and obscure mentions in books and side content. These names are mostly made up of those who worker on RWBY the same way game devs will include their names to plaques or memorials in games. To this day, I only have 12 of these characters figured out. Most characters are in Mistral with the least being in Vacuo. Can you guess which one I did first?

But yeah, that should be it for the start of this AU fic/project/thing. I will try my best to continue adding to this in the future.

if i had a nickel for every game i've played whose entire plot is picking up the pieces of a story that's already been told, i've have two nickels. which isn't a lot, but i'm surprised that this is even a trend. though, honestly? good! because games where the player is piecing together something that's already happened is really, really interesting.

(very very late night ramblings below: heavy spoilers for omori and ultrakill)

what even kicked this off is when i realized ultrakill isn't about the player character. in fact, it would be the same if v1 were completely removed from the story. layers of hell are still being purged by machines and heaven is still in mass hysteria because god has literally fucking left the picture. the only real difference is how gabriel would experience his character arc, as v1 specifically would not be antagonizing him. even then, it's possible v2 would take its place as its only major difference is having regular plating instead of blood-absorbent plating.

the story has already happened. whatever story is left would have been played out anyway. gabriel was eventually going to realize that he had committed various atrocities for an entity who had abandoned him. both prime souls have the outcomes of staying trapped in a fleshy prison, roaming a wasteland that's been torn to pieces, or dying (of which is undeniably the best outcome for them). the only people who are "happy" in this story are the residents of heaven, and even then, they're not exactly thrilled knowing their ruler has abandoned them.

why does it matter? because you have zero influence on the story. you have no say in what happened or what will happen. everything will play out the exact same with or without you. you're just there to pick up the pieces of what god had left behind. at most, you're an archangel's plot point, which could have easily been filled in by another machine or by time itself. despite being unique, you're expendable. this isn't a concept that's explored very often: usually the player character is given a very prominent role and has notable feats nobody else could possibly achieve. not ultrakill, though. you're just trying to survive, albeit in a manner that's unique compared to other machines (remember that v1 is the only known model to absorb blood the way it does).

omori, on the other hand, does give the player character a prominent role and notable achievements. after all, sunny is a one of a kind individual. he played violin and he is very creative, as made evident by the sketchbook in white space and the existence of dream space. he's made friends and has left an impact (both good and bad) on the people around him. unlike v1, sunny is a whole-ass human being doing human being things. you cannot have the story of omori without the character sunny.

like ultrakill, you the player are only there to piece together a story that's already happened. unlike ultrakill, there's still things to be explored, as every character in the real world experiences growth in some form. you're witnessing something that wouldn't have happened if sunny just didn't participate in the story (yes, hikikomori exists, but it's late at night and i don't feel like making that fit into the post).

the most interesting part, really, is how these games show the player that they're late to the story in drastically different ways. ultrakill never says it outright; you're told that mankind is dead, blood is fuel, hell is full, guns shoot bullets, and everything bleeds. you're never directly told that you're in the midst of a fruitless venture. you're never told that other machines will rip hell apart with or without you. you're never told that there's nothing to gain after hell is completely cleaned. as of right now when Back to the Cyber Grind is the newest update, you have to go out of your way to find this out - and when you do, it's a punch to the gut. in a good way.

and then there's omori.

omori tells you right out the gate - in fact, from the "about this game" section on steam - that the story is already done. you're playing a murder mystery where you're the murderer and you don't know it. you're not setting out on a grand adventure and embarking on a quest - you're hanging with friends, spending what little time you have left with them, settling low-stakes disputes, and unearthing memories that were once buried. you're just a fuckin' dude living your life when suddenly memories of killing your sister start invading your dreams. you're not part of a new story, you're reliving an old one.

now i hear you asking, "sour, what the hell are you blabbering about? why does it matter that two games show the aftermath of stories that already happened? who even gets excited about not being directly shown the real story of a game?" and honestly, it's 4:03 AM, i just watched an ultrakill theory video on one of my precious days off, and i'm gonna have to admit that i don't really have a point to be made. i just really like it when games do this. these games are what it feels like when you're late to a class but someone lets you read their notes. i like that and think more should exist in the world. that's all.

now if you'll excuse me, i need to slip into a 48 hour coma.

To me BB and BS feels like, half of the Crwby wanted BB and half wanted BS, someone lost a bet and BB won pffffft (not saying this is actually what happened, ofc)

I'm personally not a huge fan of BB, and here's why:

- V1-3 BB reminds me of me and my best friend. In other words, I read 95% of their interactions as platonic. (TBF, growing up a lot of people thought my best friend and I were dating so LMAO take that as you will 😂)

- BB didn't become obvious to me until V5. I remember watching the scene where Yang and Blake were reunited, pausing the video, and saying "do they have feelings for each other?") it was that exact moment. But to have 3 whole seasons of (imo) 0 romantic interactions to suddenly having nothing but romantically coded interactions felt kind of jarring and forced to me

- When Blake and Sun are in Menagerie together, it felt like Crwby was using that as an opportunity to say BS was not going to happen in the most out of character way possible (Blake slapping Sun in the face. Seriously, I'm pretty sure I remember even Blake's VA saying that scene made her uncomfortable with how ooc it was). Imo that season would've been a great conclusion to BS even without that scene 😭 that scene just felt like someone was trying to prove a point

- I personally don't like how much BB depends on each other. One reason I liked both of them so much was because of how independent they were, and now it feels like they revolve around each other and can do nothing without each other (I'm of the opinion that even in romantic relationships partners should have their own stuff outside of each other, so those two being attached by the hip in everything they do just feels.... meh to me)

- The execution feels like it wasn't planned at all. Whether it was planned or not doesnt really matter as much as execution. To me, it didn't feel planned, and that's another reason why I'm not a fan of the ship

- I agree that whatever BS had going on in the past doesn't make BB less valid. It's just the way they ended BS to make BB more obvious that felt so... cringey to me 😭

I won't say that I outright dislike BB. It's just not my favorite. And yeah BB was a 4 season long slow burn, but that's still 4 out of 9 seasons to me. The way BB started is the main reason why I'm not a fan. The start (V5, imo) felt very abrupt. It wasn't there, then it was suddenly in my face 😂

Another thing I will say is that lgbtq req between when rwby first came out to now is VASTLY different. Taking that into consideration, even if BB was planned from the beginning, I understand why it would've been so subtle at the start. Imo, though, I think crwby was unsure of BB until the end of V3, but by then they'd already developed BS in a way, so V4 was them back tracking and V5 was them setting it in stone. And that is why BB feels so awkward up until V5

Also, that one comic about Yang wanting Blake to open up to her... felt weird to me PFFFFFT. Hear me out!!!!

It felt weird because the start of the comic we see Yang helping a bunch of people out and saying it's the "big sister" in her. Then she spends the rest of the comic with Blake and... yeah. To start a comic with a "big sister" mentality only to end with subtly implied romance felt WEIRD 😭

Anyway, that's all I'll say on the matter (probably). I just had thoughts i wanted to vomit into the universe. Really happy for all the BB shippers tho~ I know yall have been waiting for this for a long time ✨️💖

Heya! What would you say your favorite rwby songs are from the rwby soundtrack? Hope you're having a good day!

ooooooooooh... I'm going to spend entirely too much time on this ask, but I don't care because it's going to be fun. I'll give myself two favorites from each Volume, I think? So I don't ramble on for-fucking-ever. Onwards!

(Also consider every intro song as one of my favorites as well, because it's true.)

Volume 1:

I May Fall. The amount of foreshadowing in this song is insane and the fact that it's in the v1 soundtrack is laughable. Notably, it of course does have a hopeful message, but man... they had no idea what was comin', huh?

Red Like Rose, Pt. 2. Of course. The first little hint we see of especially Ruby's flawed coping mechanisms, and to have a song about Summer, like, ten years before she actually appears in the show is insane. It's a banger, and the lyrics "I made a sacrifice but forced a bigger sacrifice on you" is just!!!!!!! You know?

(Runner-up: Wings. You cannot convince me it's not the very first Bumbleby song.)

Volume 2:

Die. I guess I just really like dark songs from the earlier volumes; this one's just fun, and it does well to set up the Bad Times (tm) that are coming with v3. If you thought everything was fine and happy during the first two volumes, just check out the soundtrack. It didn't just come out of nowhere.

Sacrifice. Continuing on with the theme, I guess. I'm also a known Cinder Fan, so this as part of her theme is just... really, really cool. Again, some serious foreshadowing. The chorus for this one is really good; just again a super fun song to listen to.

(Runner-up: Boop. Banger.)

Volume 3:

It's My Turn. Fav Weiss song, maybe? Certainly one of the best ones. Sets the stage for Weiss' feelings considering her family that comes up in this volume and the next ones, and it helps that this song plays during the first arena fight with Team RWBY, which is a bomb-ass scene.

Divide. PEAK villain song, and I mean peak victorious villain song. The goal to split up the protagonists isn't exactly a rare thing, but the fact that it works... this entire song is just a kick to the face; they've already lost, and now they're having to hear about it. Divide them, and that's already happened. It's a fucking fantastic song. One of my favorites overall, I think, not just from v3.

(Runner-up: Mirror, Mirror, Pt. 2. Weiss gets a lot of great ones.)

Volume 4:

Like Morning Follows Night. Bit of an expected choice, probably, but this song is just too damn good. I really love the argument in the beginning between Blake and Sun, and it's just... god, it's good. Blake songs are always incredible.

Armed and Ready. I mean, of course. Yang's Getting Back Up moment, Bees crumbs, the incredible way the tone of this one changes from fear to determination?? Fantastic. Also, the title being a pun is just... yeah. It's so good.

(Runner-up: Bmblb, because of course. Also, holy fuck this volume was hard. V4's soundtrack is stacked.)

Volume 5:

Smile. Ilia! Love Ilia. Love this song. It has one of my favorite rhythms in RWBY, and man, the amount of character backstory that we get from it is crazy. It's not a backstory you really need to know if you don't listen, but it's nice to hear nonetheless. Ilia beloved <3

This Time. Like I said: Blake songs are always incredible. Blake and her papa!!! Making a better world for the Faunus!!! Just really love the implications of this song, of Ghira and Blake side-by-side as they rally the rest of Menagerie. Really cool.

(Runner up: All That Matters. The yearning, my god. Yang is down bad and she's going to make it everyone else's problem.)

Volume 6:

Miracle. A lingering darkness from v5; they're not at all in a great place by the beginning of v6, but they're still fighting! Another one of my actual favorites overall, it's just a banger.

Nevermore. A Blake and Yang duet that explicitly details how they're feeling when they stab Adam??? That's one of the best concepts I've ever heard, and it's insane. This one is also a bit nostalgic; I watched RWBY after v6 stopped airing but before the soundtrack had dropped, and I specifically remember jamming out to Nevermore the day it was released. Peak romance, actually.

(Runner-up: Indomitable. Still makes me want to cry. Singlehandedly one of the most powerful songs, I think.)

Volume 7:

Touch the Sky. Blake song!! Blake song where she's happy! Blake song where she talks about finally feeling like herself again!!! What the fuck!!!! This one gets me so emotional every time. She's healed.

War. Complete opposite vibes of the last, but still cool as hell. The fact that they got four different voices in this one to play as RWBY is incredible, and my god is it a banger. Betrayal vibes, obviously, but like, looking down your nose at the person who turned their back on you. Super cool.

(Runner-up: Brand New Day. Another happy one!! God... we had no idea how good v7 was being to us.)

Volume 8:

Treasure. Oh, you thought v5's All That Matters was peak yearning? You were wrong! Blake's pining knocks Yang's out of the park, especially considering they're apart in this volume for like, three days maximum. Blake is in love and she's going to make it everyone else's (Weiss') problem.

Friend. I mean... what can I say about this song? RWBY's not exactly short on "mourning this person" music, but the fact that this one is explicitly cheery... it's just. Wow. It's Penny in a nutshell, and while it's still devastating, it's also, like. Celebrating her life. Celebrating what she did get to have, rather than grieving that she won't get to have more. It's really, really good, and the song itself is fantastic.

(Runner-up: Be Strong and Hit Stuff. Nora themes! Emerald themes! And what a catchy chorus!)

Overall, thanks for this ask, I had way too much fun with it. Sorry for how long it got lmfao, I have Opinions about this show. I don't think there's a single song I actively dislike, though of course I've got my less favorites. Hope you enjoyed my madness :)

Love Or War

Shuri x Talacon Fem reader

Wakanda Forever Spoilers!

Summary:You where told to go on a mission to have a 1v1 with the black panther . You couldn’t be serious the whole time so you where either cracking jokes or flirting. After your being 1 v1 the 2 of you could only think about love or war

You where a member of the talacon and recently your nation had been going against wakanda. They had been going against wakanda and hitting hard at that . Recently you got a mission to break in to the “lab” .Your mission was to have a 1v1 with now the queen shuri . The only problem with this plan was what if she punched a whole in your mask . You told your thought to Namor and he exclaimed that you had to drink something .The drink would make you like Namor half human and half fish . You where happy you could be on earth and be just fine.

Now was your debut your debut to have your 1v1 agains shuri.You had been training for months for this moment.While other members of the Talacon was destroying the outside of the place as a distraction. You where making your way into the lab .

Once you got in the lab you start to look around .”This is pretty nice” you say casually.Your back was facing the door you heard the sound of spear coming your way . You reach your hand up catching the spear .

“Thought you where slick huh “ you tug on the spear getting control of the spear . You slowly turn around to see the face of queen shuri . “Just the lady I was looking for ironic “ you smile . “Who are you and why are here” shuri says getting defensive.”Oh silly me I forgot to introduce myself “ you chuckle . “Well my princess I mean queen I am y/n a member of the talacon” you say while bowing.

You start to feel the spear with your hand . You felt engraved letters on the hold .You touched the blade with your finger.”Nice Blades you got here babe very pointy” you end with a smile .You where fighting with your hands.As you where using your fists for this fight you some how got shuri on the ground. You started to look and get on top of shuri . “What an iconic moment right now I got the kitty on the ground “ you smiled . “Not for long she says “ she now was on top of you . “ What’s wrong cat got your tongue “ she smirks

Shuri was getting fed up she wanted to fight at this point.”Not a talkative person I suppose “ you say getting in fighting stance . “Give me everything you got babes “ you say than you whisper “even if that means you have to choke me also I personally like it rough” you giggle .

Shuri had changed into her black panther suit while you where talking . Danm she was fine in the suit . She pressed a button showing a smirk on her face you knew that the 1v1 had finally started.

She took her claws out and started to try to claw you . “Not to fast kitty “ you say dodging her claws. You use the spear to jump behind shuri and Stab her in her back. You guys where now fix fighting. She tried to trip you but you did a cartwheel. You lost your spear at some point which means you only had hands.

You where fighting with your hands.As you where using your fists for this fight you some how got shuri on the ground. You started to look and get on top of shuri . “What an iconic moment right now I got the kitty on the ground “ you smiled . “Not for long she says “ she now was on top of you . “ What’s wrong cat got your tongue “ she smirks .”No just admiring how your so sexy” you smirk . You decided to get up from your position . You punched her in chest and jumped behind her to turn her around and do the same thing .

You got your spear trying to hit the black panther in the stomach but they happen to be to fast . “Did the panther get to fast for you “ she chuckles . “Oh no doll it was a distraction to do this” you break her mask with a spear . “ just wanted to see your pretty face of course “ you smile .

You guys kept on fighting at this point. But then you made your way on the floor.”Looks like you most really like the floor “ she chuckles than smirks . “When I said rough I didn’t mean this rough” you say rolling your eyes .You kick up kicking shuri and getting up .Shuri groans while you where getting up . You kept using your spear to fight due to you not having your other weapons .

She kept trying to punch but you would either dodge or punch or both . Every time you would use your spear it would either fall or shuri would get in control. At some point shuri was on top of you . But it didn’t last that long due to you doing a wink sliding under her to surprise her from behind . That was a very iconic fighting move if you say so yourself.

You got kicked pretty hard in your stomach . But you got payback later in the fight . You happened to break her mask in the middle of the fight.In that case she was mask-less for the rest of the fight . You started to hear Dora miljae talking outside the lab . This was your cue to leave the lab. “Your pretty good at fighting kitty ,next time not to rough and stop looking kissable . You say while chuckling and leaving .

When you got home all you could think about was the fight with the queen . How she was kinda funny during it and how damn fine she looked in that suit . Where you developing feelings for the the Enemy.

Shuri was thinking about how flirtatious you where acting . It made her smirk while thinking about all the names you called her . It turned her on . You where on her mind and she was on yours the only problem was
