Juniper Camila Norman

14 years old, DOB: 14/1/2010

Roo's youngest sister, Better known as Juno.

Born under Virginia and a man she met in Spain, Mateo García.

"I don't really... know Juniper, she lives in Spain with her father, Mateo, my Mother had another hookup some years ago and had Juniper, Juniper couldn't be cared for by her Mother, due to her inconsistent patterns of depression, while she pled sane, begging to keep her daughter in her custody, it was denied, and Mateo decided to take her, he didn't want her to end up in a janky foster home, he's kind and I love that for him, but from what I've heard from Mateo and my Mother, on the occasions that she can visit, it's nothing good, she seems to... use Mateo's kindness for her own enjoyment and manipulation, I hope what they're saying isn't true... but... last time my Mother told me about my younger sister, she was right... I worry for Mateo, and Juniper." - Roo

[Rest under the cut just in case, as it describes Juniper, who's overly exploitative of her father, doing things kids shouldn't be doing - nothing sexual 👍 E.G, Drugs, Vaping/Smoking, Drinking. There's also content involving an Eating disorder and fatphobia]

Juno is a terrible child, she's exploitative of Mateo's overly forgiving and kind person, Mateo is a very "she deserves a second chance," kind of guy, and at this point, he's given her at least 400 chances, and she's ruined each one, she's currently in 3º ESO, and averages around a 1.00-0.50 GPA, she views school as menial labour, and would rather hang out with her boyfriend and circle of friends. She spends most of her freetime [or otherwise, time where she's supposed to be in school] vaping, smoking, and getting drunk, the sheer rush of doing something she wasn't supposed to made her continue, but it was the rush she got from doing drugs, it made her feel like shit, and she regretted it afterwards, but it came full circle just for the rush.

She has struggled with her body, her boyfriend is openly against "fat" women, he will aloud judge her body in public, leaving her feel embarrassed, especially since she chooses to dress in more revealing clothes, leaving her vulnerable to judgement, and her boyfriend was her biggest critic. She doesn't eat much, she OMADs (One Meal a Day) quite frequently and fasts often, she's frail, but she does it for her boyfriend, and overtime, has become incredibly critical of other people and their body, while she doesn't openly state it like her boyfriend does to her, she finds herself doing it to her friends and sometimes telling her friends about people she saw and their bodies. With every passing week, she becomes weaker, she's still not considered severely underweight, but at 92 pounds, the effects of being underweight begin to take place, her periods slowly stopped occurring, she began getting dizzy frequently, she was always tired, she bruised easily and always felt like she was a sneeze away from collapsing. Mateo slowly noticed these symptoms, he cared for her and wanted her to be okay, so he took her to see a doctor, who had her sent to a treatment center.

Juno still suffers from a mild eating disorder, but has mostly recovered, Mateo makes sure to monitor her, as per her and the doctor's request, but she continues to be a pain in the ass to most people, and since recovering, she's lost all her friends and her boyfriend ended things with her, but he couldn't end it like a normal person, and had to call her all kinds of things, but the worst for her was "fat." Juno has lasting effects from being underweight and a recovering addict, she had to be pulled out of school, and resides with her father, who is helping her recover, while she more than definitely appreciates it, she has a persona that she has to keep up and acts annoyed and pissy with Mateo, but he knows better. She still has retained some habits from her old circle of friends, like dressing in revealing clothing (more specifically as a habit from her ex), putting on (sometimes) messy makeup, and getting her nails done.

My Favorite Juno Moments of 2022

from r/hotsauceinmybag posted Jan 10, 2023

Hi Liberties. Today, as the year comes to a close, I want to take a moment to reflect on the top five moments from my AG bias Juno (at this point she's my ult but I'm still in denial sue me) this year. I made this post cause i think Juno had some cute moment with her members this but I didn't see anyone talking about them so I fixed it! Enjoy!!

Number 5 - Juno and Haruto

This was random and just like Juno to confirm this in the most unofficial way possible

At MAMA day 1, fans in attendance caught Juno and Haurto hugging during Treasure’s Rap line performance of VolKNo. Teumae and Czennie alike were puzzled about the odd pair(more so than the talkative pairing of YG!Doyoung and Aurora).

According to one of my Teumae friends, Haruto barely leaves the dorm without Jeongwoo, Jaehyuk and Asahi. When could he have even met Juno?

Juno has like fifteen bodyguards no including her members

Everyone’s questions were answered when Juno hopped on bubble a couple days after the show and posted a picture of herself, her brother(with his face covered) and Haruto posed together with the response

My brother and I finally saw our cousin after a long time. He’s grown so much! I’m proud of him!! Hwaiting Treasure!!

Any dating rumors were debunked as quickly as they came up. Days after, SM and YG both gave official statements for anyone who didn’t believe Juno’s word.

Number 4 - Juno claiming Taeyong’s closest for herself

Juno loves to frequent vlive, or now insta live, when she's bored. The lives usually amount to Juno doing something stupid in order to make the fans happy. That's actually how her mukbang streams start. A fan suggested ordering her favorite foods and recording it. Juno’s always down to do silly challenges for fans because quote a bitch ain’t never scared unquote. 

In April, Juno did a vlive asking fans for suggestions on something she could do tomorrow on her day off. Juno even made her manager hold her to the promise.

“Raid Taeyong’s closet, OOOO!!! This is the one!”

Weeks later a video was uploaded to AG's channel where Juno walked into the 127 dorms and waltzed into Taeyong's room, opening his closet only to start throwing things around. In the background you can see Taeyong begin to question Juno’s actions but let it go (Even Taeyong know its better to not question any of Juno's actions). Juno paired a simple outfit together but she may have cheated a bit by using her own top but it was a look. Everyone agrees. 

Number 3 - Junwoo matching outfits

The friendship between Jungwoo and Juno is TOP TIER! They are the best friends that you question if they’re together or not. They flirt with each other soo much, it’s laughable how there's been no announcement of their relationship becoming official. Alas, JunWoo stans only have so many moments to live off of and when one happens it sends them. Like this one.

At the SMTown concert in Suwon, Jungwoo and Juno arrived at separate times. Immediately fans noticed that the two were matching, wearing black jeans, gray hoodies, black beanies and white converses. Edited pictures of the two together cropped up everywhere online. 

Later that night Juno updated her bubble with a selfie of the two in their matching outfits in one of the NCT green rooms

Me and Jungwoo planned this awhile ago

We wanted to arrive at the same time but AG had a earlier rehearsal time than 127

We’ll make plans to do this again. Don’t worry!

I really hope they follow through with a sequel cause they are so cute together I can't

Number 2 - Juno reacting to an old ice skating performance

For anyone who doesn’t know, Juno used to be a professional figure skater. She’s actually won four medals (three silver and one gold). 

This year was the seventh anniversary since she won her gold medal and to celebrate, Juno filmed a video of her and the AG members reacting to her gold winning performance. 

They could show the recording but the music couldn’t be used so the girls watched it without sound. Though, the nice AG editors used NCT music in the background.

Before they hit play, Juno told us the song she chose was No One by Aly & AJ. Which lead to a bunch of nctiy edits with the original song

During the video, Juno provided commentary on how she was feeling throughout the whole performance, why she chose certain moves and how she styled her own costume. 

Her performance was inspired by the movie Ice Princess. This movie, according to Juno’s mom, was the reason she wanted to become a figure skater in the first place. She even included a practical version of final move as the finish to her performance

In the video, Juno kind of trails off as tears form in her eyes. She just begins to watch her younger self. None of the girls notice until Moxy reaches over to just grips her hand. The two share a look, smile then Juno tucks herself into Moxy’s side

Like I'm so soft for Mono's relationship like they are each other ride-or-die.

Number 1 - Juno’s 2000’s Music Party

Juno did more vlive’s this year than any other (it's as if Juno needs her own NCT unit to be apart of huh SM??)

Out of all the live’s she did, this one has to be the best one.

Juno decided to present all their millennial fans with a nostalgia trip of the highest regard. She sang every disney channel song she could find on youtube and spotify. Juno started with Hannah Montana and followed the rabbit hole further and further. That alone was everything the fans could ask for. What happened next was even better. 

Slowly her other members stopped by promising to only stay a minute but the pull of nostalgia is too strong. 

Hannah was first. She was dropping food off for Juno but when the Lilo and Stitch theme song came on, she pulled up a chair to belt ALL THE LYRICS. 

Aurora came next only because she was in the building and heard Hannah and Juno losing their minds. Aurora sat in the back but when La La Land by Demi Lovato popped up, her eyes lit up. Hannah just handed over her karaoke mic and let Aurora sing with her whole chest. 

I mean I knew Aurora could sing but she SLAYYYED Demi's high note like it was nothing. I need SM to give her and Yuta a Rock duo concept

Lastly, Moxy actually popped into the chat to compliment her members. When asked where she was, Moxy sent “I’m with 127 practicing.” She promised to stop by after practice. 

Finally when she arrived, the other members just pushed a mic into her hand and proceeded to play EVERY SINGLE Cheetah Girls song. The live went an hour longer than it was supposed to. The girls kept begging to sing one more song before their manager could cut the live. 

AG decided to end the live by singing We’re All In This Together but This wouldn’t be AG if they just sang it. No, they took the camera and set it up in a nearby dance studio to do the full dance as well. Their manager made them finish up after the song was over. 

It was AG funnest live EVER. this live actually led to AGzen’s tweeting at Disney to get the girls on the channel in some capacity. 

Some highlights include: AG making Nothing’s Wrong With Me from Pixel Perfect their song, Hannah slipping Boyfriend from BTR into the playlist, Moxy sing That’s So Raven and the girls playing air instruments (a la Breakthrough promotions) while singing Breakthrough from Lemonade Mouth

Let me know some your favorite moments of Juno this year down below!!

______________________________________

u/BasicallyinLove - I don't blame Taeyong for letting Juno do what she wants. If it was me, I'd let her have my whole closet

u/It’sAllAboutFamily - I was there for the WHOLE millennial Disney live. Even past what op already said, my favorite moment has to be during a break the girls were taking during a slower song. Suddenly, Rotten To The Core from Descendants comes on and they all freak out which turns into them doing the choreo for the dance break. It was glorious

u/GottaCatchEmAll - I'm a Teumae and I stayed up for the mama performance. I had to wipe my eyes when HarNo hugged. I thought it was the sleep getting to me. But now we have another pair of famous siblings

u/LikeAPhantom - Why would you remind my of the ice skating performance video. I was sobbing for DAYSS!! You can tell Juno misses the ice. I hope one day she'll get back out there. Maybe for content

u/SpiritUnleashed - It's my own personal headcanon that Juno and Jungwoo ran the rookies after the og SM rookies debuted. Those mathcing outfits fed me for days.

Another Reddit post but this ones been in my drafts for awhile. Like since last year awhile. Hope you all enjoy. Have a great day!! ~ Author Izzy

The White Ash Institute

Essentially expanding off this post I made a while ago. About the possibility of an all girls equivalent to NRC and RSA. So this is my take on what that may look like. (Edit: I added a couple small edits, like who they're twisted/based on and gave Lily a last name)

A well respected and prestigious magic academy. An all girls school that takes young ladies from all walks of life, from scullery maids to princesses, human, fae, and beast alike all students are equals at White Ash Institute. All to prepare the next generation of great mages.

Staff:

Clara Cristalería

Twisted from The Fairy Godmother

The Headmage of White Ash Institute. A kind woman of fae origins, her grandmother had founded the school centuries ago and passed the torch to her, she has been in charge for almost as long as her predecessor. She has treated every student that comes into her institute with utmost care and respect. She always says at every entrance and graduation ceremony that every one of her students is like her own child while they are in her care, and means every word of it. Her utmost priority is to provide a safe environment for her students, which is why she was disappointed in Phillipa and Juno for not bringing the bullying to her attention sooner so she may deal with it. (She enforces a very strict no bullying policy and treats every case with utmost severity) 

At inter school events, she gets along fine with Ambrose. Though she’s civil with Crowely, she can’t say she approves of his methods, especially his new young ward. (If Yuu is a girl she would offer to take them to White Ash with no hesitation.) She is also an old friend of Lilia. Being updated on NRC drama is a small guilty pleasure of hers, and she tells him whatever is going on at WAI. She also asks him how Yuu is doing sometimes, because she is genuinely worried how that child is alive. 

Reyna Adeleide

Twisted from Duchess

The history professor. She also teaches animal speech and etiquette. Along with being head of the music club. A refined woman from an upper class background. A mother of triplets, her daughter is a first year of White Ash Institute. While her two sons currently attend Night Raven College. It was previously tradition that the men of her family attend Royal Sword Academy, but the boys wanted to follow their fathers footsteps and attend his alma mater instead. To which they had the families full support. Reyna is an alumni of the school.

Students:

Phillipa Claret

Twistedfrom Prince Phillip

The daughter of a wealthy family that can trace their roots to nobility that lives just outside of Briar Valley. It’s been her and her father on the family estate most of her life. Phillipa is an incredibly curious and impulsive girl. She has a tendency to ride off into the forest that surrounds their manor whenever the mood hits her. Or when she was child, watching their guards practice and immediately running up to them and demanding to be taught. Despite how much Phillipa loves her father, she has a tendency to not listen. More often than not telling him she is doing something rather than asking. She’s found it’s easier to ask forgiveness than permission, and as her fathers only child, Phillipa often gets it. Mr. Claret had hoped some time at a refined and well respected school like White Ash would make his daughter calm down a bit. How very wrong he was, if anything it gave Phillipa more playmates to get into trouble with. Despite these habits, however, you can never say Phillipa is nothing if not loyal. In her first year, she had gotten in a huge fist fight with a girl that had bullied one of her friends. If asked, Phillipa will always proudly say how she broke the other girl's nose and gave her a black eye, while she made it out with barely a scratch. A childhood playing with guards left her knowing a few ways to break something. 

If there is one thing her friends like to tease her for, it’s her crush on a certain silver haired boy from Night Raven College. Phillipa met him at an interschool equestrian tournament, and has been smitten ever since. Every time there is an event that involves both their schools, Phillipa always keeps an eye out for him so they can chat. Her friends love to tease and call her the future Mrs.Silver the moment he comes up in conversation, though they always glady look for him at events to see if Phillipa will finally break and ask him out. One time her friend Marina couldn’t take it anymore, and at the last Spelldrive tournament, pulled aside one of Silver's friends, a guy named Lilia, and asked if Silver had a girlfriend or wanted one, because her friend really liked him. Lilia seemed amused by this, and said no, Silver did not have a girlfriend, and that he would put in a good word for her before disappearing. Phillipa wanted to ring Marina's neck, she was so embarrassed. 

Juno Aureum

Twisted from Hercules

It’s rumored her family has ties to the Shrouds, though no one is quite sure how they are related, and Juno says it’s a touchy subject within her family,and she is not allowed to talk about it. On all other matters, she is an open book. Juno is a very sweet and athletic girl, though admittedly very awkward at times. She tends to avoid confrontation and tries to please everyone more often than not. This has led some people to take advantage of and pick on her, which led to Phillipa at one point breaking a girls nose for mocking Junos' then very lanky frame. After this, her friends told her she needed to learn to stand up for herself more. Juno had always loved sports, and had a lot of interest in weight lifting. With the support of her friends, Juno put more effort into athletics and weight lifting. By the time second year rolled around, everyone was in shock of how she bulked up. Though students were scared of messing with her now, Junos sweet nature was very much still intact and she always tries to help others. Her signature spell is called “Zero to Hero”, and it essentially gives her a burst of superhuman strength, making her able to lift three times more than she normally can. It’s become very useful, Juno is always asked to move things when the desire to rearrange dorm furniture hits someone.

Lily Cub

Twisted from Mowgli

A girl found in the wilds of the Sunset Savannah. No one at WAI knows much about how Lily came into Headmage Cristalerías care. All they know is that she was found in the wild, she was supposedly raised by animals, and she is still learning about living with other people. Despite the situation she is in, Lily is incredibly curious and asks and explores everything. Lily learns very quickly, while she often struggles to find the correct words for things, she usually gets her point across as clearly as possible. Before being formally enrolled in school, she had lived on the grounds with the headmage for a few months until she got the basics needed for school down. So she's more familiar with the grounds and rules than her fellow first years.

After getting to know her friends, she was comfortable enough to tell them how she got there. A lioness found her as a baby by the riverbank, and took Lily in as her own, despite her mates very vocal refusal to have anything to do with her. Her mother, however, knew one day Lily may be better off with other humans. So when she thought she was old enough, her mother showed her the human village that was nearby. She explained it was full of others like her, and she had her mothers permission to go whenever she liked. For the next few months, Lily watched the village, observed how they walked and talked until she was comfortable enough to go in. The people were kind to her, and it's there she met and befriended a woman who was the village mage, who eventually gave Lily her first magic lessons. Lily still doesn’t know what she did that impressed the woman, but she said she had great potential and was better off going to a school for magic. She agreed to at least meet the headmage. Cristalería came to assess her, and agreed to take Lily as a student if she was willing. Lily told her mother all about it, and asked if she should go, though she was curious about life away from the Sunset Savannah, she didn’t want to leave the pride behind. Her mother insisted she go and try. Lily promised she would still return. She had been under the guardianship of the headmage and living on campus ever since. While her friends expressed their sympathy for Lily not seeing her mother, she assured them that the village sorceress, who is apparently fluent in animal speech, often sends letters about her mother from home so they can update each other. She also intends to go back to the village on break. It doesn’t fully make the home sickness go away, but it certainly helps.

Marina Adelaide

Twisted from Marie

The daughter of Professor Adelaide. Marinas upper class upbringing made her know all the rules of etiquette, she likes to believe she is as regal as her mother. However she more often than not acts in a way that is rather unladylike. She never starts anything, but she most certainly has no problems joining in the trouble once it begins. Is always the first to back Phillipa up if someone wants to pick a fight. Much to her mothers dismay. Being the daughter of a staff member, she never gets away with anything for long. However the real trouble starts when she is with her brothers. They always find a way to get into mischief. 

Marina is very girly, and often opts for pink and bows wherever possible. She’s also a bit of a romantic. Always idolizing her parents' marriage as the golden standard. Her father is her mothers second husband, and he adores her fully and raised Marina and her brothers as his own until they asked him to formally adopt them a few years ago. So far no boy has ever met the standard her father has set. She copes with all sorts of cheesy romance novels. Out of the three siblings, Marina is the closest to their grandmother, mostly because they share many common interests.

Sims 4 Fontenot Legacy - Beach Day!

As has become sort of a reacurring family ritual, the adults at the Legacy House pack up the kiddos for a little fun under the Sulani sun! Yes, it's a beach day once more for the Fontenot Legacy!

The family is in full relaxation mode! Sabrina helps Juno build a sandcastle, Scarlett gets some knitting time in, Robin goes for a dip in the water, and Sigrid watches as the girls chat and play with each other. Additonally, Sabrina's friend Nyla also comes along for the trip, in need of her own beach day. The two also plan to discuss arrangements for Lakshmi's wedding, but first Nyla needs some tanning time 😆

In true Audrey nature, she manages to make a new friend with another little boy enjoying a beach day. This results in them working on a sabdcastle together. In true Alma nature, she heads off doing her own thing 😆

Sigrid: That little one yours?

???: Yeah. Milo.

Sigrid: Audrey's the one in the blue. Her twin Alma is in the yellow.

???: Twins, huh? I'm sure they're giving you a run for your money. Little Milo runs me ragged all on his own.

Sigrid: They're definitely full of energy, but thankfully I have help. Sorry, I haven't introduced myself. I'm Sigrid.

???: Coty. Nice to meet you. Nice tats, by the way.

Sigrid: Thanks! Like yours, too.

Robin watches Alma playing in the water, but that doesn't mean he doesn't notice the guy talking to his fiancée.

Sigrid: So, is Milo's mother around?

Coty: Nope, just me and him. Moved out to the islands from the reserve not so long ago. My father was from these lands. Felt it best to raise Milo in a place like this.

Sigrid: That's really admirable. I'm sure Milo loves the arrangement, too. Must be nice living right next to the ocean for a little one like him.

Coty: He's taken to it, for sure. What about you?

Sigrid: Me?

Coty: Who's helping you? Two kids is no easy feat.

Sigrid: Oh, uh, I have my fiancé and his family.

Coty: Oh, fiancé?

Sigrid: Yeah, we've been together a long time. Highschool sweethearts. We've had a long engagement on account of us getting pregnant. We plan to get married soon, finally.

Coty: Ah, well, many congratulations to you.

Sigrid pauses, noticing the faintest twinge in Coty's mouth as he gives his congrats. She clears her throat.

Sigrid: Ahem, uh, thanks. Well in any way, looks like we'll be seeing more of each other. Seems like our kids are attached now.

Coty: I agree. I've never seen Milo take to a new person quite so quickly. Audrey's special.

Sigrid: She sure is. Both of them are. They're twins, but both very unique. Apple of their parents' eyes. We're a happy little family.

Coty: I know the feeling. Milo is my world. Well, let me give you my number so we can arrange a playdate sometime. Wanna let the kids spend as much time together as possible.

Sigrid: Ah, right, thanks.

Coty: Well enjoy your beach day, Sigrid.

Sigrid: Likewise.

Everyone's having a great time at the beach. Audrey and Milo finish their sandcastle, Sabrina and Nyla get a chance to talk about wedding plans, Juno spends time with Grandma Scarlett, and Alma and Robin finish up their water time and head back onto the sand. That's when Sigrid approaches her fiancé, greeting him.

Robin: Hey there. Having fun?

Sigrid: The kids definitely are. Audrey's made a friend.

Robin: I saw that. Was that the kid's dad you were talking to?

Sigrid: Oh, yeah, his name's Coty. Kid's name is Milo.

Sigrid: They live on the island, just moved recently. Coty said his father was originally from Sulani. He and Milo are by themselves out here, so I'm glad Milo was able to bond with Audrey.

Robin: Hm. Milo's mother's not around?

Sigrid: Doesn't sound like it. He's such a cutie. Maybe after things calm down in the New Year we can set up a playdate for the kids.

Robin: Yeah, maybe after the wedding.

Sigrid: Here, I'll share his number with you. Maybe you two'll get along as well. Good for you to have some guy friends. Hey, maybe he can help with the treehouse!

Robin can't help but notice Sigrid's enthusiasm. He cherishes it, as it was always one of Sigrid's best qualities. Still, there's the slightest part of him that feels something other than joy. Jealousy? Pah, what is there to be jealous of? Sigrid loves Robin, and she's never looked at anyone else the entire time they've been together. There's too much history. They have a family. Sigrid would never leave that all behind. So why does Robin still feel this way?

Whatever it is, Robin resolves to push it away. He just needs to focus on his girls as always. Maintain the family he loves so dearly. Be the man his father would be proud of. Things will be fine.

Yeah. Just fine.

[neonstatic]

my given name and i have an interesting relationship. well, first off, i don't like. i dislike it, even. there's no doubt abt that. i've disliked it long before i understood i was nonbinary. it's just not a good name to me. i don't like the way it feels and tastes in my mouth. i don't like how it sounds out of people's mouths. no one has ever managed to say it in a way that makes it sound appealing. it's not a name you can sigh dreamily nor moan erotically. i mean, you can try, but however good you might sound, I'll be too distracted by the name itself. (i think i've learned to speak so delicately bc i've subconsciously wanted to sell my name as best as possible. yes, that is my name, it does kinda suck, but don't i say it so nicely?)

compare this to my sisters' names. they have sweet, feminine names that end in the letter a, and if you put all their names next to each other, you notice a certain motif. they just fit like a bouquet.

i feel like you can tell from my name alone that i'm the last child; they were running out of fkg ideas to follow the motif, so much so that they entirely dropped it! they couldn't even make my name end in an a!

i've never liked my name, always felt a little ashamed when meeting ppl bc i knew i'd have to introduce myself and see the split-second look in their eyes when they process and register (with difficulty) my painfully geriatric yet forgettable name. and it sounds so, so much worse in english.

egg or chicken? i think my name might've made me trans -- no, pls, let me elaborate: my name sounds like a typical old name, but spelled differently and thus pronounced differently, with none of the elegance and not even an a at the end. "oh, ray, why are you so obsessed w the a at the end?" bc i grew up surrounded by girls with pretty names that ends in a! and i was a little "girl" w an unpretty name that did not end in a! i legit had a complex abt that jabfjab everyone is aisha and christina and sarah and mona and then you got this mf whose name reminds you of a four-eyed mole in a tutu.

(in middle school, we had to write a story, and i named my protagonist, a 12yo girl, wayne. "that's not a girl's name," my teacher told me. "yes, it is." i said. and that was that.)

(i named that little girl after my favourite rapper at the time... y'all figure it out ✌🏾)

i've wanted to change my name long before i understood my gender. i had the spare thought that one day, maybe, i'd grow into it. i didn't like having and showing tits until literally two years ago. i think the chest tat helped. (frankly, most days i still don't. moving boobily is humiliating esp when you're a fast walker.) i've yet to grow into my given name. don't think i ever will. i rly dislike it. i'm no longer used to it either. i've changed my name at work and made so many new friends who know me as ray, and even my closest friends call me ray most of the time (or juno if they feel a lil frisky). and now i feel good introducing myself.

not only that, but i also experience ppl having fun w my name! nothing big, rly, but i do not have enough fingers to count the amount of ppl who make analogies abt the sun, the stars, or light in general. it's mostly silliness, i know, but i can't help feeling like others see that my name makes sense for me too. ray is a name that fits me. and i love it! yes, everyone does the "ray of sunshine" thing but it never gets old! never, do you hear me?! it's the best thing in the world to me!!!

(still, there are two things i like abt my given name... first, it's a callback to my parents' names. my dad also has a very interesting name but i'd rather have his than mine. another name better exprienced in french. second, my mom and i share a nickname. i found out when i was a teen and a relative called out my family nickname (or, well, one of two), only for my mom to respond. i love love love nicknames, bc that is what made me discover my chosen name. and i love that my mom and i share a nickname. it feels sentimental to me. idk how to explain it. i esp love when we use it for each other in casual. it's fun and lovely.)

From the shadows a little girl in purple steps out carrying a basket filled with berries and baked goods. She shuffles over to the Scrype of chance and lightly tugs on her pant leg before offering the basket to her with a smile

"Excuse me, You are Miss Haya correct? I'm Freyja, Juno's daughter. I wanted to stop by and say hello!" She says with a smile. "I also came to ask you a question on behalf of my mother if I may. During the holidays do you decorate your boat at all? Such as with small ornaments or garland? Or whatever decorations that are associated with your respected holiday? Or do you not decorate at all?"

(Hi friend! wanted fejya to interact with Haya I hope you don't mind! Happy holidays! ---Misty @junoscrybeofshadows )

(Hi friends! I don’t mind at all!!)

The boat had been docked at the wilting and barren edge of the fourth finger for some time, the somewhat plucky Scrybe of the Dead having permitted her to stay for a while as she made her ship sea-worthy for the winter. She was very late, she should’ve done this months ago but she was busy with the Sommarcrest gathering, now she was in a tussle to work this out before the fated solstice.

Perking up slightly as she heard a voice, Haya’s ear flicked softly to the side before she sat up and emerged from underneath the players table with a head cocked to the side slightly. She looked so much like her mothers-… it wasn’t hard to identify her at all, to which Haya smiled kindly before chuckling and allowing her tail to swish silently around the both of them.

“Hello to you as well, little one.”

Haya chimed with a sort of rumble in her throat as she brushed away the several tiny mushroom beings puttering around at their feet as she gingerly collected the basket from the child.

“I do decorate, I celebrate Yuletide. Usually this is a bit more… extravagant. Have a simmer pot of cinnamon, perhaps the peals of a fresh cut orange. That and the light of the candles from my altar on the back counter, but I’m afraid I’ve had little time to manage it this year. I did manage to pry my pine garland from my husband though, so that will probably decorate the sides by the time I set off again. Next year, when Kirsi is old enough to leave with me to the Aisles, I’ll teach her to make diamonds with her hands and coal.”

The eyeless beast turned to the counter to gesture loosely to her altar before baking her wings out just slightly as she stretched her back. Turning back to let her sigils focus on the small child before her, the mushrooms beginning to climb her clothing-… she smiled again before offering an extended hand.

“Maybe I could show you, too, sometimes.”

[innsjovide]

Yes yes hmhmhm more >:3c

7 (i gotta ask this every time), 11, 12, 17, 18, 21, 28 for Juno.

oc ask game

yeonaixho my beloved! he lives in my heart and he pays no rent. like with sadihak im gonna answer these with young gods juno unless the answers would be drastically different with tourn juno (tho ygs juno is closer to tourn juno than sadihak lol)

7. favorite animal? why?

juno is associated with honeybees! so, like sadihak, im just putting that for his default favorite animal. there's a ton of reasons juno is associated with honeybees, but most notably are the fact they pollinate flowers (and a certain other savant whos name starts with j and ends with ymaiyri has floral symbolism), and the fact i love bees. it also fits color wise, and i generally like juno being associated with insects (especially cool ones like bees!) i think juno likes all animals tho, and he probably has a soft spot for elderly cats.

11. what do they have in common with you? how are they different? would you get along with them?

like all my characters, juno is a lot like me. some fun character traits of mine i gave him are love of soup, skill with embroidery, and the fact he simps for evil women. i'm not nearly as good at gardening as juno, and hopefully not ever as sad as he is, but i think we'd get a long. juno gets along with most people, so it's hard not to be his friend.

12. how long have they been around? do you know their birthday? is their birthday the day you made them or another day? what do they think of celebrating birthdays?

juno was the first young gods character i created, and he came from a dream! i think i came up with him sometime around mid-late October of 2021, but his birthday is sometime around early march since he's a pisces (we just missed his bday... sorry juno :[ ). he doesn't care much about birthdays- of all the savant, he's the oldest, so he's had even more time to get sick of celebration. juno also isn't fond of being the center of attention, so i'd think he'd want to avoid even thinking about his birthday.

17. how did they spend their summers/free time as a child?

juno's childhood was a very, very long time ago, and in canon he remembers almost none of this, but he grew up in a small valley town secluded from the outside world. since summer is a busy time for farmers, most of his summers were spent working fields with his mom. in the colder months he'd usually apprentice for the local healer, but probably not in the summer. he also spent considerable time getting up to shenanigans with the other local kids. all this was before he went blind, which is a completely different story.

tourn juno had a very different childhood. he spent most of his life at the high temple, shadowing his mother as a young boy and in later years just following petrai around. he probably spent at least one year training to be a stablehand, though that failed when everyone realized how bad with horses juno is. like his young gods counterpart, juno spent a lot of time getting in trouble, tho he also spent hours learning everything he could about healing and medicine, which led to him becoming a temple dedicant in his later teen years (not something most peasant boys accomplish). again, this is all before he went blind.

18. their opinion on lying, stealing, and killing?

like with jymaiyri, i'm gonna separate these into three different responses

lying: juno is willing to lie if he can justify it, and he often is. he has an alarmingly liberal relationship with the truth. after all, he hid his identity for thousands of years, without much regret. juno would rather believe a happy lie than a harsh truth, and will often outright deny that bad things are happening, or even that he's done bad things. it causes a lot of conflict with the more honesty-inclined of his peers, and even some inner turmoil. he really is full of drama.

stealing: juno is pro-theft because he thinks its funny /j. of all the savant, juno's the most 'one of the people', and he tries his best to live modestly without any attachments to possessions. you could rob him and he probably wouldn't care unless you stole his staff or his herbs (mostly bc he needs those to help other people). the most important things in juno's life are people, and you can't steal those without it being murder. during his three-thousand-year-long mental health disappearance, he probably took part in a few thefts for medicines or food or whatever, always on the behalf of the less fortunate.

killing: on paper, juno is very against killing. he's a healer, after all, and it's in the job description not to murder. however, like jymaiyri, he believes fairly strongly that the ends can justify the means, and if he believes that killing one person could lead to others being saved, he'll kill. his goal is to make sure that the most people are saved, and he's unwilling to comprimise that. he's against murder without cause, though.

21. their favorite place to be?

juno is a traveller at heart, and therefore doesn't have one place he feels more at home at than others. he's of the belief that if he makes a place his home, it's his home. however, there's a few places he's especially fond of. he especially likes his home temple in telvrei, where everything is exactly where he likes it and designed to his tastes. back in the day, he considered jymaiyri's palaces in ta llyanaido to be a second home, simply because his lover was there and he spent alot of time there. he misses his childhood home dearly, and visits the ruins of his town frequently, but doesn't often stick around long. there's not much to see there, anyways.

28. how do they show that they care about someone? how do they express that they don't like someone?

juno likes and cares about almost everyone he meets, but if he really cares for you, you'll know. juno can be incredibly physically affectionate with his close friends- he wants to cup your face and hold your hand and give you hugs and braid your hair- all of it. he's like this with both platonic friends and romantic partners. he also likes to just spend time with someone- quality time is one of his love languages, and he thinks a peaceful evening spent together is one of the most affectionate things a person can give. undying promises of loyalty are also his thing. you know juno likes you when he starts staying stuff like 'i will be by your side forever, so you'll never have to hurt again'.

there's very few people juno doesn't like, and even then, he'll often try to mend things with whoever he's upset with, but if he really doesn't like you, if he truly thinks you're beyond reason, he abandons all niceness (which, for juno, amounts to cursing you out and gossiping about you behind your back)

ty for the request! i love to write about juno so this was super fun :]

[inamanicpixiedream]

2022

I've answered these questions on various platforms for over ten years now, I think? That's wild. There's better questions out there but tradition is tradition.

1. What did you do this year that you’d never done before?

Lived alone.

2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions?

I don't tend to make them. My goals evolved over the year. I did aim to spend more time doing creative stuff and while I still didn't meet my expectations, I did did more than I had previously and just feel like I'm moving more to where I want to be.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth?

My aunty gave birth to my cousin, which will probably be the last of our generation of grandchildren. We share the same middle name - my grandma's name - which feels really special.

4. Did anyone close to you die?

Not a person, but my darling dog Juno had to be put down a few months ago. She was almost thirteen years old, and it was time, but that was just awful.

5. What cities/states/countries did you visit?

This year I found myself in a long distance relationship, so I went to Brisbane quite a lot. Got back today from my fifth trip today.

Also went to Melbourne for the weekend with a friend which was lovely.

6. What would you like to have next year that you lacked this year?

More stability in health and finances. Otherwise, time with my partner.

7. What date(s) from this year will remain etched upon your memory, and why?

Hoo boy, some pretty big ones. The end of April had a lot of significant dates, culminating on May 4, where I asked to separate from my husband.

And also began a new relationship.

April was a time, y'all.

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?

Professionally, I was on top of things this year. After a couple of years where I felt overwhelmed and underappreciated, and like I wasn't doing anything right. Taking a step back from leadership and just focusing on what I was doing in the classroom was huge.

Personally? Realising I had more agency in my life than I realised.

9. What was your biggest failure?

Not having that realisation earlier, I guess.

And while I do not really regret anything, there are things about my separation I could have handled better.

10. What other hardships did you face?

I mean....kind hard to trump my marriage ending. That really was the biggest thing that happened to me, though that phrase implies I had no agency in it, when in reality it was the most empowering thing I've ever done.

Grappling with the decision, putting it into action, and then dealing with the fallout is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do.

But also one of the best.

11. Did you suffer illness or injury?

I strained my ACL and the meniscus tendon in my right knee on my first flight to Brisbane, giving up my seat so two friends could sit together. I am lucky it wasn't worse; thankfully no surgery, just rehab and a splint, and a weak knee for god knows how long.

12. What was the best thing you bought?

All those plane tickets are up there.

But Leia, my puppy, has got to top this list. I bought her a few months after Juno died, when it was clear Percy needed a companion. It was also a decision I got to make on my own, when I was new to making those, and she has been the perfect little addition to our family. She has helped so much with my healing and the rebuild of my life.

13. Whose behaviour merited celebration?

The support and love my family, friends, and even colleagues showed me this year was unexpected and unparalleled. Where I expected judgement, I got compassion. My workplace accepted my name change without question and told me I could take as much leave as I needed. I was overwhelmed by how much understanding I was shown.

14. Whose behaviour made you appalled?

While he was acting, understandably, out of hurt, shock, and wounded pride, my ex-husband did not take our break up well, and as a result, said and did things that were beyond what I would have thought he would have. Appalled is the right description for my response. Only good thing that came out of this was it just confirmed my decision.

Also, fuck Elon Musk and Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson.

15. Where did most of your money go?

Plane tickets.

But also I had to refurnish my entire house. I did say my ex could take anything he wanted, with the exception of my bookshelves and personal belongings, and he took absolutely everything. My entire savings went to new things, and while that sucked, everything I have in my own now is mine, and bought with my money, and by my choice. I have loved making my house my own.

16. What did you get really, really, really excited about?

Every time I went to Brisbane. Adopting Leia. The release of Midnights. Finally seeing Hamilton. Feeling free.

17. What song will always remind you of this year?

Call It What You Want To by Taylor Swift.

The entire Midnights album.

A bunch of other love songs.

18. Compared to this time last year, are you:

i. Happier or sadder? Oh, so much happier. Happier than I ever thought I could possibly be. ii. Thinner or fatter? I no longer pay attention to this. Probably fatter, and that's fine. I struggle a lot with my knowledge that this doesn't matter and the world's expectations on me and my body, but all I want to do is focus on my health and my strength, and fuck what I look like. iii. Richer or poorer? Technically poorer, but I have complete control over my own finances now, so while I'm broke af right now, it's in my hands, and I can afford to rent a house on my own, and buy food, and go out, and do things for myself occasionally. I am grateful finances were not a factor in preventing me from leaving my husband. I have less money, but I feel richer.

19. What do you wish you’d done more of? Reading and writing. Going to the cinema.

20. What do you wish you’d done less of? Sleeping. Worrying.

21. How did you spend Christmas? My family did our celebration on the 18th. We had a potluck lunch at my aunty's house, and it was the first time I'd seen my new baby cousin, and I was a bit worried about it being there for the first time without my husband but it turned out to be lovely.

I then drove over 2000km to Brisbane with the dogs, and spend Christmas with my boyfriend and his family. I was nervous about it, as I hadn't met all of them before, and I knew a bit about their dynamic, but it was wonderful, and I was the first girlfriend he'd ever brought to Christmas, and he was super nervous too, but it went super well and he was so happy and relieved, and that made me happy.

The best part though was honestly Christmas Eve. We made spaghetti together, and I've never had someone help me in the kitchen like that before. We played The Whitlams, and then ate dinner with a bottle of rosé I brought, a gift from a student. We ended up doing karaoke, just the two of us warbling away to Jolene, Dancing in the Dark and You Gotta Be. He then asked if we could exchange gifts then because he couldn't wait, so that's what we did. It was lovely because of what it was, but also because it felt like the start of new traditions, and I haven't felt that way in a long time.

22. Did you fall in love this year? 

This really is the story of 2022 for me.

I'm not going to tell all of it, partly because it doesn't entirely belong to me, and partly because there's a lot of it I want to keep to myself.

On top of that, some of it I have already shared here. I was married for thirteen years to the man I had dated since I was 13. He was not a bad or abusive man, but there were several aspects of our relationship that often left me feeling unhappy, unseen, and unloved. But I did not know I could do anything about this. Requests for change, therapy, and even listening, went unheeded. I did not know I had the right to ask for anything else.

And then I fell in love with someone else. I was not looking for it. I did not expect it. I did not ask for it. It took me by surprise and when I saw it for what it was, it only shined a brighter light on the emptiness I felt with my husband. I confided my feelings, and the object of my affection told me simply to work things out with my husband, and he would always be my friend, and he wanted me to be happy. Nothing else happened.

But when I spoke to my husband about the problems that I saw in our marriage, and confessed that I had developed feelings for someone else, I was not faced with anyone who was open to working things out. I was told the problems in our relationship were not ours, but mine. I was told my expectations were unrealistic. I was told I was addicted to attention. I was told that the ball was in my court.

So, I left. I didn't leave for someone else; I left for me. I didn't know anyone else would be waiting for me. What I did know was that I'd a glimpse of another future for myself, and just the knowledge that it was possible was enough to know I had to leave.

But after I asked for the separation, the man I loved was waiting for me. He told me I didn't have to stay, that I was free now and could do anything I wanted. He had no expectations of me, and all he wanted was for me to be happy.

I did not know it was possible to be in love the way we are. I sold myself short for years. It feels like a waste of time, but god, I cannot believe how lucky I am to have it now.

23. Do you hate anyone now that you didn’t hate this time last year? I don’t think so.

24. What was your favorite show? Frontline. The Hollowmen. Always Sunny. Derry Girls. Abbott Elementary. Curb Your Enthusiasm.

25. What was the best book you read? Tell Me Again by Amy Thunig. How We Love by Clementine Ford. Surely You're Joking Mr Feynman by Richard P. Feynman. The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath.

26. What was your greatest musical discovery of the year? My boyfriend is a DJ who's passion is electronic music, so I've been introduced to a lot of that this year.

27. What was your favorite film? 

Films that came out this year - Elvis. Top Gun: Maverick. I also barely saw anything new so I know there'd be more.

 Films I watched for the first time - The Man from Earth. Anna and the Apocolypse. Being John Malkovich.

28. What was your favorite meal?

I made a lot of burgers for myself which is easy and good and comforting.

One night we went out to a Korean BBQ and I honestly think that's one of the best meals I've ever had.

29. What did you want and get?

To stay in my home and keep my dogs.

30. What did you want and not get?

I don't know how to answer this, for some reason.

31. What did you do on your birthday and how old did you turn?

I turned 34. I went to work, and then streamed on Twitch in the evening.

32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?

To be able to get divorced. I hate that I haven't been able to fully close that chapter, and I hate the policy that says I have to wait 12 months before I know my mind and what I want.

33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept of the year?

Comfortable. Embracing my body. Showing my tattoos. As sustainable as possible.

34. What kept you sane?

My dogs. My friends. Podcasts, particularly Maintence Phase and MBMBaM. My boyfriend. My students.

35. Which celebrity/public figure did you admire the most?

Michael Hobbes, who may just be on this list forever and ever. Clementine Ford, whose work inspired me to change my life.

36. What political issue stirred you the most? The overturn of Roe v Wade - don't know if I've ever been so angry to get the news. Misogynist, right-wing men having huge platforms.

37. Who did you miss? Long distance relatonships are terrible, and I miss my boyfriend every day I am without him.

38. Who was the best new person you met?

A bunch of new people on Twitch, a community that is still new to me but been so wonderful.

39. What valuable life lesson did you learn this year?

You deserve more.

40. What is a quote that sums up your year?

Sometimes love means having the courage to end what is no longer working. Love for other people. Love for ourselves.

From 'Leave Your Husband', in How We Love by Clementine Ford

You know there's many different ways that you can kill the one you love The slowest way is never loving them enough Do you really want to know where I was April 29th? Do I really have to tell you how he brought me back to life?

From 'High Infidelity,' on Midnights, by Taylor Swift

#year in review

[violentemperor]

It was unbeknownst to Azura about the fact that she was missing three forth if her true power. However Javid had mentioned that he had the three crystal's that contained her missing power, that he had received them quite awhile ago but has been hesitant to give Azura what was rightfully hers.

Though with information from Azura about the fact that the domain rulers live outside their domain but close to their gates it shouldn't be hard to find the elder vampiric dragon warrior's house, especially with how lively his children are so that ment that as soon as the saiyan was near the secluded den of the eternity god one of his children would pounce on him.

"Huaaa, begon intruder! I, the mighty Juno shan't let you go any further! To so such will surly result in you getting harmed by my mighty blade Däsíkő!"

The small daughter of Javid, a little vampiric dragoness who's magic energy was indeed strong but not enough for her to be a warrior class would wave a small sword in front of her. One the glowed a silvery energy like Azura's sword did.

The phisically ten year old vampiric dragoness's attire was one worn by the winged children around here, an open back so that their wings had free movement. Said wings were large enough to carry the healthy little one in flight, from her feet to mid thigh and hands to mid bicep was covered in dark grey scales, her horns growing like that of a laurel wreath on her head, her tail swayed behind her.

Though if the encounter with Vulcan's two vampiric dragon children when Kefla first got to the Vail said anything is that both warrior and civilian class will spar for fun. That both will fight each other if their board or training. And it seems that little Juno who stands at 4'8 wants to spar with the stranger that her father had told her not to bother.

There was a month left before he had to return to Sadala. But the search for another planet would take too long, and his vacation would be over before he could even enjoy it. Not that anything on this planet was interesting. Sleeping happened to be more interesting, even when he hardly needed to sleep.

Usually, he would be training when he is not sleeping, but it is supposed to be a time when he just relaxed. Getting stronger means knowing your enemy, and knowing yourself. He knew he would be fine, even after not doing more than the basics to keep his body strong and healthy.

He would put his earbuds in, music blasting from his phone. Once this done, he would continue to walk forward to the next destination. Until, a child appeared before him. Anything that was said unheard by the saiyan because of the music playing in the earbuds.

But even then, the sword in her possession made it obvious that she wanted to fight him. It seemed like the parental figure of that brat did not tell her to not point a weapon at a stranger.

He would remove the earbuds and let out a long sigh.

— Get lost. Your loneliness from your inability to have any sort of friends is not my problem. Get better or die, I don't care which. Yes, I'm not kind to you because you're a little annoying brat, and you're lucky I'm in a good freaking mood.

pennycore topster. honorable mentions below the cut

not ordered, maybe vaguely by presence in my mind/recency bias but like.. barely. this is about what's impacted me the most. when i find an album i like i listen to it repeatedly for as long as it takes to grind every meaning and emotion out. i really like all of these, and they all mean a lot to me. some stuff was left out for the sake of keeping it less than overwhelmingly huge. car seat headrest is the only artist that got two albums on the list so you know i really like it

theres no way to represent this but, one whole album on this could be made up of maybe 15 disparate tracks i found through youtube midwest emo mixtapes. you know the kind. they add their own juno/superbad snippets in between tracks, and their video components were just a single still image of a suburban street or a white kid in front of a train. they autoplayed obsessively after everything i watched maybe a year ago and i found a lot of good stuff off them but rarely whole albums i _loved_ enough. some songs include: warped & orange things by best witches. space jam by beds. vulcan death grip by old gray. alsace-lorraine by home is where. leave the fan on by sorority noise. so thats what they do in college by this is pointless. spring break by leer. mierzwiak by casper elgan. inuit by foxing.

honorable mentions: any opn, i really do like opn but i dont feel as much impact from anything but r plus seven. any mashcore, i love the genre i just didnt have a specific album to represent it. tool, because tool's good, but again a whole album did not hit me enough to get on the list. guitar fight from fooly cooly rocks. black country new road is JUST under the cut, particularly ants from up here but sunglasses is such a good song i feel like it alone almost justified for the first time's presence on this list. Sorry Drain Gang... i like them all, particularly ecco2k, but there wasn't enough room. my imaginary friend by oolong is also just under the cut.

THE VENTURE BROS.: THE COMPLETE SERIES - Review

DISTRIBUTOR: Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment

SYNOPSIS: Twenty years in the making, one of the iconic pillars of Adult Swim, THE VENTURE BROS., comes to DVD and digital in a box set that includes the seven year run of the show, all 82 episodes (14 discs), plus every single piece of previously released special features.

REVIEW: Full disclosure, I have not gone through everything. I only got the package on Friday and there is just so much, and that’s just the episodes. What I have watched so far is a real “Wow!”

The series premiered twenty years ago in 2003. It was the year my daughter was born and it was one of the late night shows on Adult Swim that kept me company. It was a delight to go back and rewatch the early episodes, especially on a big screen TV with surround sound. Oh, and no commercial breaks. Twenty years may not be a lot of time, but the writing still stands the test of time. From the writing and the music, to the design of the series, THE VENTURE BROS. pays homage to many of the adventure animated series we grew up with in our youth but takes to a whole other level, an adult comedy level. Watching these episodes again was like a trip down memory lane and there were quite a few things I had missed and made me appreciate the writing even more.

I popped in all the DVDs to view the menus and see the list of extras. No wonder they didn’t list the special features in the press release because there are a lot of them. I had never watched any of them before so I took in a few. They were well made, entertaining and informative. As a fan of the show I enjoyed the insight they added to the viewing experience.

Regardless of your level of fandom with the show, THE VENTURE BROS.: THE COMPLETE SERIES is a nice package that provides hours of viewing pleasure for you to get reacquainted with an old friend. Regardless of the nostalgia, it is the writing that made the series a hit. Some of the episodes were saterial of the period they were written in, but the style is such that it remains timeless and the humor fresh.

The 14-disc box set has a combined runtime of 1,968 minutes.

The TV series was canceled in 2020, with the final season aired in 2018, but The Venture Bros. swan song is coming with the film The Venture Bros.: Radiant Is the Blood of the Baboon Heart and will be available Digitally on July 21st and on Blu-ray Disc on July 25th, 2023.

CAST (voices): James Urbaniak, Christopher McCulloch, Michael Sinterniklaas, Patrick Warburton, Paul Boocock, Doc Hammer; plus a cast of hundreds over the 82 episodes. CREW: Creator/Director/Writer - Christopher McCulloch; Directors - Jon Schnepp, Ki-Yong Bai, Juno John Lee, Barry J. Kelly, & Ethan Marak; Writers - Doc Hammer & Ben Edlund; Series Composer - J.G. Thirlwell; OFFICIAL: www.adultswim.com FACEBOOK: www.facebook.com/adultswim/ TWITTER: twitter.com/adultswim TRAILER: www.youtube.com/@adultswim for lots of clips and the show opening credit sequence. RELEASE DATE: Digitally and on DVD June 13, 2023

**Until we can all head back into the theaters our “COVID Reel Value” will be similar to how you rate a film on digital platforms - 👍 (Like), 👌 (It’s just okay), or 👎 (Dislike)

Human/Beast Legoshi x Reader- Oneshot (Beastars) AU

"You can't tell me you don't think he's at least a little cute."

Juno and a few of your other classmates had this strange infatuation with Legoshi. You could understand the attraction. He was tall, had nice gray hair, a muscular body, and soft gray eyes.

At Cherryton Academy, he was a hot topic. Next to Louis of course. You'd met a few times. He wasn't like most guys. Being that desired by the female population, you would think he'd be a player. But he was kind, thoughtful and a bit awkward. Then there was the next thing, maybe no one questioned it, but you always felt like he was hiding something.

So it wasn't that you didn't think he was cute, more like you didn't fully trust him. You felt like he had this darkness, and it felt like you were the only one who saw it, which made it that more frustrating. You'd never been one to nose around in others' business, but this particular feeling wouldn't leave.

"He's okay." you say absentmindedly. You weren't really focusing anymore on the conversation.

"Speak of the devil." One of your friends cheered. Legoshi and Louis were chatting as they walked through the school's halls. Louis turned to Juno to greet her, in which she smiled and started conversing. You smiled at the two.

"They would make a pretty cute couple."

"You think so." Legoshi's reply made you turn, and he flinched, scratching his head. "I-I guess they do look pretty good together." 

There was his awkwardness again.

"What are you hiding?" 

Now was as good a time as any, since Juno was otherwise occupied, you could drill him. "W-What do you mean?" He backed up into the wall, and you poked his chest. "Don't play dumb, everyone thinks you're this upstanding guy, but I'm not fooled. It's been my experience that overly nice people usually have something to hide. So what is it? Are you a felon or something?"

"Of course not!" He was sweating, definitely guilty.

"That's enough (Y/N), stop harassing Legoshi." Louis pressed a hand to your forehead pushing you back and you flapped your arms.

"No fair Louis-senpai!" Why did they all have to be so tall? With a grumble, you folded your arms.

"If you're interested in him all you had to do was admit it. There's no shame."

"L-Louis-senpai." Legoshi raised his hands to wave off the comment, and you just fumed.

"Like if I'd be interested in that awkward giant!"

Legoshi sweatdropped, and Louis let out a soft laugh. Juno was giggling too.

"I'm going to class!" you were already running off in the opposite direction. Juno followed, waving at the two males. Watching as Juno's form disappeared down the halls, Louis turned.

"You have to be more careful." Louis lectured.

Legoshi sulked. "I'm no good at that. "

Louis knew full well your curious nature, if anyone were to find out, it would be problematic, especially you. More so because of Legoshi's interest. "She smells really good." Legoshi muttered. His nose twitched, and Louis' face palmed.

"You two are hopeless. " He just walked off,

"W-Wait for me Senpai!"

~~~~~

"Baka Legoshi." You were nowhere closer to getting to the bottom of the mystery. Damn Louis and his need to butt into everything.

School let out a few hours ago, you were just heading to get some snacks. Maybe binge watch a few series since it was Friday. Then get on some of your homework and help Juno with her drama practices tomorrow. She was pretty serious about the club, you guessed that's why you admired her. She always put her all in whatever she was doing. Louis was quite the same. Passionate, assertive, charismatic. They really were a great pair. You directed your eyes at the moon above your head, nipping on your popsicle.

"Who would I match with?"

That was a good question.

Buzzing past the many houses, your gaze would shift from one to the other. A particularly older one made a chill rush up your spine. It was pretty rundown, deserted. That's why it wasn't a surprise at the rumors and stories that arise. It was abandoned years ago, and despite your knowledge that no one lived there, it still made you uneasy. You always felt like you were being watched when you walked by.

"Creepy."

You hugged your body, increasing your pace. As you were about to cross the road, a familiar pair of gray striped pants caught your eyes. You squinted in confusion, coming to a stop. Whoever it was, ducked their head, freezing too. Because of the dark shadow casted over the building, you couldn't make out the face. That uniform though.

"It's Cherryton."

Without a doubt.

"Hey!" Your call caused whoever it was to step back, right before they took off.

"Wait!"

You have no idea what possessed you to chase this stranger, but you're already running after the figure. They scaled over the fence easily, heading for the forest. For a split second your eyes widened. It was at least eight feet high, yet this person jumped over as if it were nothing. Squeezing through an opening at the side, you dropped your bag of treats and popsicle.

"Stop running!!" you yelled.

You were gaining a little bit of ground, still, this person was fast. Tall too.

Sliding around a couple trees, and dodging a broken branch, you used a smaller tree trunk to pivot yourself into the air. Grabbing onto a branch, you did a full swing, landing a few feet in front of your mystery figure.

"Stop!" you demand. Said person didn't have a choice. When you stood full height, you nearly screamed. The person, more like thing standing in front of you was...

"W-What the hell.."

It had the body of a man, but the grey ears and tail were anything but human. Not to mention the fur covering it's arms, from the looks of it, it's entire body. You staggered back.

The thing was without a shirt, but wearing a pair of your high school's pants.

"I'm not going to hurt you I promise!"

It was speaking your language too!!!

He took a step, and you fell onto your butt, lips quivering.

"M-Monster.."

It had to be.

He shook his head vigorously.

"N-No! It's me Legoshi!!" He knelt, and if you weren't petrified with fear right now, you may have found your voice to scream, or at least try and make a break for it. His voice, those eyes. There's no way it could be him. That didn't make sense.

"L-Legoshi?" He nodded, grinning at you. Now you could see a full row of sharp teeth. You swallowed, and he shut his mouth, dropping into a sitting position. His furry ears lowered, and he buried his face into his knees.

"I'm sorry." He mumbled. You just sit there staring. This whole time your gut had been right. Legoshi was hiding something. Pretty huge too. Whatever you'd expected, this was far from it.

"I-I promise I won't hurt you. I'd never hurt you (Y/N)-san." He still had his head down as if he'd committed some heinous crime. You felt kind of sorry for him.

This is crazy, your brain knows that, so does your body. Yet, seeing him so distraught, it brings guilt. You were the one who decided to meddle in his personal life. This change, whatever it is, it's clear that he is ashamed of it. No wonder he took off when you called out. A stranger discovering this would have been horrifying, so you can just imagine how it feels to have one of your classmates treat you like a monster. You shift, about to move closer to him. Lifting a hand, you reach out.

"Don't." Your falter at his warning.

He isn't even looking up, so how does he know?

"It's bad enough when we're at school, I try to keep all my feelings in check. But with you just sitting there, if you touch me, I won't be able to resist the urge to kiss you." your cheeks flush, eyes widening.

You just gape. Legoshi raises his head slowly, and when he sees your blushing state, his cheeks become just as red.

"O-Oh I-I shouldn't have said. Listen, just ignore everything I just said, okay." He scrambles to his feet, nearly falling in the process. He rambles about something or the other, your brain isn't registering it fully. All you see is Legoshi. For the first time since you've met him, you finally truly see him.

"Legoshi.." He pauses mid sentence, and you rise to your feet. He doesn't move a muscle. That's until you reach out for him. "H-Hey wait don't-" you grab his arm and the hair on his arm stands up. You take another step, resting a hand on his chest, you just marvel at the expanse of fur.

"It's so soft.."

Legoshi is quite frankly losing his mind.

"What do I do!" He's trying his best not to panic, but you're touching him.

"This isn't good.."

Your fingers feel so heavenly against him. His tail begins to wag frantically, and you're still in a daze, brushing his fur. The moon casts a light on your bodies, highlighting the small area. When you grab a fistful and tug experimentally, he snaps, pushing you roughly against a tree. A growl elects from his throat, and he's gripping your wrists.

"I said don't." It's almost a hiss, and when his head lowers and he sniffs your neck, you hold your breath.

"I'm s-sorry." you really needed to work on your curious nature. It's beginning to become a dangerous problem.

"Why do you always smell so good, makes me want to bury myself within you." you whimper at the words. This shouldn't be so arousing, but somehow your body is responding. For all you know he could be thinking of eating you. You have no clue what he's capable of.

"Werewolves aren't like what you humans think. We don't eat people, we're quite the same as you, just our desires, senses, drives their heightened." His low tone is driving you crazy. He still has you bound to the tree. When he licks your neck, you're thoroughly convinced you'll pass out. He inhales, relishing in your response to him.

"I can smell it, how much this excites you. You've thought about me before, isn't that why you're always trying to figure me out?" When you get yourself to open your eyes, Legoshi's eyes are red. Your heart skips. It's like he's turned into a different person.

A cloud drifts over the moon, blocking the light that was shining below for a moment. He blinks, and the red fades. With a startled yell he releases you, jumping back.

"(Y-Y/N)-san!" you just stare at him, unable to move. Your heart is hammering, face fully red. Your knees finally buckle and you slide down the tree.

"P-Please don't say a word to anyone!"

He bows on the floor right in front of you.

It was a given that wouldn't say anything. This was still too much for even you to process.

Curiosity really does kill the cat.

"Should have just mind my own business. "

You'll be smarter in the future.

library hours

Pairing: Spencer Reid x gn!Reader Warnings: maybe a swear word or two, really just FLUFF ft. baby spence Word Count: 1.3k Summary: A late night at a university library leads to reader meeting a tall brunette genius. [fyi i wrote a reimagined version with professor reid x reader. you can read it here]

A/N: dedicated to the amazing @ellesgreenaway​ for inspiring this little fic & giving it a title!!  ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

-

There was something you always enjoyed about the going to the library.

Perhaps it was the way every single person that walked through the threshold had a purpose. A mission to complete. Perhaps it was the quiet. The solace you felt sitting alone in a corner researching various topics, for class and for recreational purposes.

The university library had quickly become your second home. A location you frequented more than your own dorm room. It wasn’t always to study, no. You people watched. Doodled. Even napped there from time to time. The place brought you peace, and by the time you senior year rolled around, you saw the librarians more than your college friends.

The university library was also the place where you first met a certain young brunette genius - which in time became the main reason why you liked it so much.

Lights were slowly being turned off section by section. A vacuum came to life in one of the aisles. People started to scramble from their seats - shoving their things into their backpacks, throwing out empty coffee cups into the overflowing bins, checking out books they might still use that evening.

All signs indicating it was time to go.

Dolly, one of the librarians, ushered towards you. Her jacket draped over her shoulders, her bag in hand. She gave you the usual spiel of how you can stay until the janitor is finished cleaning, to which you politely nodded along. She wished you a pleasant night, and with a “see you tomorrow” she hurried out the door.

Once she was out of sight, you groaned under your breath and ran your fingers through your hair. You had an assignment due tomorrow, one you started hours ago and only managed to formulate three total sentences. Your gut was telling you there was no way you were going to finish now, especially since you had about thirty minutes until you would have to leave.

Leaning back in your chair, you fluttered your eyes closed in an attempt to collect your thoughts. The tranquil feeling didn't last long as you were abruptly brought back to reality by a loud bang. You quickly sat back up and scanned the space for the source of the noise.

A tall brunette man, not much older than you, stood a few tables away, a heavy looking book at his feet and a shameful look spread across his features.

“The library is closed for the night.” You stated. The brunette scrunched his nose briefly. “B-but you’re here.” He remarked before leaning down to pick up the book he dropped.

“I have permission to be here.”

“What if I do too?” He challenged, taking a step towards you although still keeping a safe distance.

You folded your arms across your chest and arched a brow. “Well, do you?”

The brunette didn't respond. Instead, you noticed how his cheeks flushed a shade of red, how he clutched the book to his chest, and how his fingers tightened around the strap of his bag.

You couldn't help but smirk as you let your arms fall back down to your side.

“I’m just kidding. Come on, join me.” You said, pointing to to the chair across the table from you. “We have about twenty-five minutes before we get kicked out, might as well make the most of it.”

He hesitated for a split second, hovering in his spot. It wasn't until you turned your attention completely away from him, and back to the book in front of you, that he made his move.

“You’re not some sort of killer, are you? You’re not here to murder me?” You asked, looking up as he sat down. His eyes widened and he quickly shook his head in response. “Ehm... N-no.”

“That wasn't a very reassuring no, but I guess I’ll take it.” You nudged in response, and proceeded to work away on your assignment. As you worked, you could feel his eyes burning into you.

In any other situation, with any other stranger, the feeling would have made you uncomfortable. But there was something about the timid stranger that was quite welcoming.

“I-I actually, uhm, I profile serial killers. I help catch them.” He said after a moment of silence. Once again, you glanced up from your notes to look at him. Intrigue greeting your facial features. “I just started with the FBI.” He stated.

It wasn't a brag. No. It was a statement to make you feel more safe, and you couldn't help but smile at him. “So, mister FBI, what are you doing in a university library on a Thursday night?”

“Doctor.” He corrected.

“What?”

“Doctor FBI.” He said, corners of his lips twitching upwards. “I have PhDs in Mathematics, Chemistry, and Engineering.” Now, that was a brag.

You chuckled softly. “You don't happen to have a PhD in History under your belt, do you? Because that would be very helpful right about now.”

“No, but I do have an eidetic memory and can read twenty-thousand words per minute.” He declared. You stared at him in disbelief, your mouth parting ever so slightly in shock.

“Did they make you in a lab or something?” You teased, although you could tell he didn't find it amusing. He furrowed his brows, lips pursed into thin line. You chewed down on your bottom lip, feeling slightly ashamed for poking fun at the guy who was nothing but be nice to you. “I’m sorry.” You mumbled faintly. “That was rude.”

“It’s okay.” He quickly reassured, and shot you a timid smile. The two of you stared silently at one another. There was something amicable about the seconds that passed as you looked into his hazel eyes. Something harmonious. Friendly. Strong.

You cleared your throat. “There uhm, there’s this dinner not far from here. It’s twenty-four hours so they won't kick us out. Would you like to come with me? We can share a pie. I mean, if you’re into that. Or, or we can just have coffee-”

“Y-yes, I would love to.” The young doctor answered all too quickly causing you to grin at him.

Soon enough you were both packed up and up on your feet, heading towards the library exit.

There wasn’t a cloud in the sky making the million stars shine all that brighter. They looked like perfect sugar granules spilled on a dark surface, accompanied by the glowing moonlight. Breathtaking.

Street lamps glittered ahead, illuminating the streets. The two of you walked side by side, almost in sync.

“Does that big brain of yours possess information on Roman gods?” You asked while nonchalantly hopping up on the curb. You spread out your arms like a tightrope walker, and with one foot carefully placed in front of the other you continued your journey.

The wind blew lightly through your hair, your brunette companion observing quietly. A smile creeping up on his lips. “Because if you do, I might ask for your help with an assignment.” You glanced at him briefly.

“I-I do actually, ehm. The... The Ancient Romans were extremely religious, and believed their success was due to their strong beliefs. They believed that if you maintained a good relationship with the gods, they would be kind to you.” He briskly cleared his throat. “There were twelve Olympian Gods in total. Jupiter, Juno, Mars, Mercury, Neptune, Venus, Apollo, Diana, Minerva, Ceres, Vulcan, and Vesta...”

You let out a soft kindhearted laugh. “Okay doctor FBI, slow down. Wait until we get to the diner so I can really appreciate your genius.”

He blushed, feeling thankful that the darkness around prevented you from seeing. “It’s Spencer. My name, uhm, my name is Spencer.”

You stopped in your tracks and elegantly hopped off the curb. Spencer turned in his spot so that he was now facing you completely, only an arms reach away.

“Spencer...” You tested the name on your tongue, a smile embellishing your features. “It suits you.” You retorted before proceeding to introduce yourself, “I’m Y/N. It’s nice to meet you, Spencer.”

Wish Upon a Night Sky - [Beastars | Various x Reader]

[Female, Sheep Reader | Slow Burn]

Act Three | Age-old Conflict

[First] | [Previous] | [Next]

"I knew I'd find you here!"

At the sound of that voice -- familiar and friendly -- you look up from your book and form a smile when you recognize the person behind it. 

"Are you busy right now?" Jack asks, sitting in the empty chair next to yours. "I'd like you to meet someone, if you're not too busy!"

You bookmark where you're at, glance up to face his eyes, and catch a glimpse of excitement behind them. Him looking so cheerful as he waits for your response makes it almost impossible not to be persuaded into agreeing right off the bat. Still, you give the offer some thought and take your school schedule into account, against letting your responsibilities pile up right from the beginning.

"Sure," you reply, setting the book aside. "I'm just doing some self-study, at the moment." You furrow your gaze and add, "Who am I meeting, by the way?" While having time was one thing, taking into consideration who you would befriend was another. You look around and frown when you see there's no one present nearby, not only from the risk of you being all alone at a school like this one, but at the curiosity over getting to meet another student -- and potential, eventual friend, hopefully.

Jack calls the person over as a response. 

The one mentioned doesn't take too long to appear, as he shows up by the door frame in less than it takes for you to organize the pile of books on the table; he even manages a sheepish wave when he catches you staring at him, yet he keeps quiet and still after that, in spite of neither of you knowing each other's names.

It's another wolf, though he's nowhere similar to Juno. The only remotely close aspect you can find between them is his height, but even then, it's not the same. If Jack had to crouch a bit to talk to you, the wolf would no doubt have to do that, too -- if not more than that. Jack introduces him as Legoshi, a name you'd often heard slip from Juno's mouth since the past week spent as her roommate. You reciprocate his wave from earlier and direct a quick smile at him, one he returns with a reserved, almost hesitant nature -- completely different from your expectations, given his species.

At the thought of him being the one Juno often rambled on about, you bite back a grin and introduce yourself in return. The image she'd painted you of the wolf is barely needed when you take notice of just how cautious and awkward he is in greeting you. It's like he's not so sure as to how to approach you, and each movement he makes is just as wary as the next. 

When you shake hands with him, you see his gaze wander over to the book and a pile of them left on the table.

His face lights up in recognition, and it doesn't take long before he asks, "Are you the homeschool student from last week?"

You chuckle, let go of his hand, and walk off back to the table to pick up the book, smile growing when you read the title again. "Is it that obvious?" You hold it up in your hands and bite back another laugh. "I'm, well... I'm trying to be less… ignorant -- now that I'm going to be studying at a place like this! Homeschool didn't really teach me stuff beyond math, science, and languages, so I need to make up for that as much as I can." 'Of Wolves and Sheep: A Fundamental Guide to Carnivores, Herbivores, and those in between', reads the book's cover; the sheer irony of your meeting deems you incapable of wiping away your smile. "But, this is probably basic knowledge to everyone here though, huh?"

His eyes glance over the book once more, while his gaze softens as he shakes his head, returning your playful nature. "Not really," he replies, sitting down across from you and Jack when you offer him to. "I'm still learning, too," he adds. "Maybe it looks like everyone here knows about that topic, but... If you know about what happened to one of the students, you'd think differently." A somber expression reaches his face as he huffs and passes a hand against the back of his neck; a more mournful look then glints in his visage -- almost a second after, yet it's shaken off when he continues with, "In the end, it feels more like everyone's just trying their best to understand each other despite everything going on."

You toy with the book in your possession and stay quiet as your mind debates whether or not it would be okay to ask more about the incident. So far, you'd only heard rumours about it, these hard to hold on to with how frail and inconsistent their sources and information were. When you see sadness return to the wolf's gaze, you fight against it. Whatever went on at the drama club with one of its students was clearly still affecting him to this day, so you try not to make him feel worse by adding any unneeded comments to the mix. Whether he knew the person didn't matter; asking anything else would kill the mood entirely.

"I thought you'd wait for me, Legoshi. How rude of you!"

Hearing another voice blend into the calm of the library, you glance back towards the door to see a peafowl standing by it, a smile on his face despite the accusation in his words. He has his arms firmly crossed, faking anger through an equally firm glare. "Were you that desperate to meet the new girl? You disappeared the second we left the drama club!" While part of your questions are fulfilled with the person's entrance, you still don't dare ask Legoshi about the incident. Rather, you keep quiet and greet the peafowl with a wave and a smile -- just like you'd done with the wolf next to you. "You all look so cute together! Should I take a picture?"

You tense up and observe those around you. Embarrassment falls on you when you notice just how popular you seem to be currently, being surrounded by two canines and an avian. Your first few days as a new student appear gone now, and -- to any outsider -- it would come off as if you're the center of attention, with all gazes on you. "It… It's fine!" you reply, words almost stuttered. On instinct, you hide behind your book and try to control the shake of your hands. As kind as the offer is, you're far too jittery to even consider the idea of having your picture taken -- and even less with other people.

Still, you're against being rude, so you add a 'thank you, though' after your words.

"A shy one, aren't you?" he comments, covering a giggle with his hand. "You must be (Y/N), right? Juno wouldn't stop talking about the new girl, and when I heard Legoshi was meeting you today, I just had to join!" He stands by the only empty chair left at your table and extends a hand out to you before sitting down. "My name's Dom. It's nice to meet you!"

Safe to say, his energy is infectious.

You take his hand, palm feeling just as warm as his voice and smile. "Nice to meet you, too." 

Then, you let go and move your gaze back to your book. The pile at the center of the table is the next thing to be the source of attention when Dom comments over it, mischief replacing his previous, friendly tone. He reaches out for the pile, drags it over to his side, and picks the odd one out -- one you'd tried to hide by slipping it in the very middle of the rest. "It seems our new girl already has her eyes on someone here, huh? And here I thought Juno was only teasing you about it!"

To be blunt, he's holding a romance book -- its cover risqué. The image features a forbidden love between a carnivore and a herbivore, and while the publishing year dates back to almost a century ago, it retains plenty of relevance today. At a time when tension between the two sides was still fresh and bleeding, books like these existed, though you didn't exactly want to be found out with it currently. "Is it this guy, perhaps?" Dom asks, pointing at Jack, who straightens his posture as fast as the accusation comes. A hint of red shows on his face, but he tries to hide it by looking elsewhere. "You sure act quick, (Y/N)! I'm impressed."

Not wanting for further assumptions to be made, you suspend yourself over the table, focus on your target, and try to reach out for the book. Too easy to be true, you almost fall over when Dom pulls back, hiding it behind him. "It- It's not like that, really!" you exclaim, words coming out about as flustered as your face likely is now. "I'm just curious about the book -- It reminds me of a fairytale I read when I was little!"

At that, Dom stops evading your attempts at grabbing the book back from him. Interest crosses his gaze and a moment of silence takes over the room, one you're not feeling too confident about. "Oh, really?" he asks, cooing. "Hopeless romantic? Or curious about what your parents never told you?"

You sit back down on your seat and look at your lap, face burning. "A... A bit of both, actually."

The peafowl laughs, a sound honest and bright. When you stare back at him, he's holding out the book, waiting for you to take it. "Lend it to me when you're finished, alright?" he says, winking. "I'm a bit curious myself."

You allow yourself a few minutes for your face to cool down some more and huff out a long, deep breath when you're done. Truth be told, it nearly seems as if you've spent all the energy left in you by agreeing to meet new people, yet you don't exactly dislike the experience. Rather, you smile again when you recover and find your cheeks and chest hurt from how happy you are right now.

Nodding, you take the book and place it under your current read.

Your shoulders tense when you feel everyone's eyes on you, though you push through with an "alright".
