Creepypasta/MH - The Moment They Knew They Loved You

Characters: Jeff the Killer, Nina the Killer, Jane the Killer, Tim/Masky, “Ticci” Toby

Jeff the Killer

It would’ve been a very long time after knowing you

Even if he was physically attracted to you, he wouldn’t consider that “love”

He usually judges people more on their character

That’s not so say he doesn’t enjoy calling people ugly if he thinks they’re ugly though

So you guys would’ve been vibing together for a while

He’d come away from each interaction with you just a little happier (or a lot happier), but he didn’t really notice it

That is, until he walks into a room one day and finds you relaxing, scrolling through your phone

He announces some unhinged plan, fully intending on carrying it out

You just look up at him for a second before (being used to his bs) just giving a thumbs-up and telling him to have fun

He blinked at you for a second, a grin coming to his lips slowly

He thinks to himself: you know, this is why I like them. They understand me.

And then he starts to think about all the reasons he likes you

He spends the rest of the night with your image in his head and a light feeling in his heart

It’s when he’s lying in bed, telling himself to stop thinking so he can sleep, that he finally realizes:

Oh. I’m in love, aren’t I?

He’s not mad about it; he’s more surprised than anything (at first at least… soon he’s ecstatic about it)

But he fully accepts his affection for you, and it won’t be long till he confesses ;)

Nina the Killer

She’s a pretty perky girl with a lot of emotions

Happiness, sadness, anger… she’s unapologetic in expressing everything, to the point that many call her “extra” or “weird”

It’s only for those people that she acts more reserved, and it’s more in an act of resentment than resignation (basically her saying “eff you loser, you don’t deserve me”)

So she only really likes people that she doesn’t have to act differently around

And of course you’re one of those people :)

She finds little things to like and hate about everyone in her life, and you’re no exception

So one night she just happens to be looking at a picture of you, and she gets to thinking

She smiles as she remembers good times with you: going to the mall, getting messy with baking or butchering, late night texting…

At length she decides that there’s a whole lot more to love than hate

And then she gets to thinking about your looks, and maybe she’s biased because she’s just decided that you’re delightful, but she feels a little heat come to her cheeks

She zooms in on the picture she’s looking at, admiring your features one at a time

She’s baffled that she hasn’t noticed how good-looking you are until now

And then the memories play again in her head, but this time her heart soars extra high…

She’s in love with you!!

She smacks a hand over her mouth when she realizes it, then breaks into a fit of giggles

Get ready for not-so-subtle hints and extra affection….

She’ll want you to figure it out before she actually confesses lol

Jane the Killer

I feel like she would’ve decided that she loved you pretty early on

Maybe even before interacting with you for the first time

She watched you (perhaps not entirely intentionally at first), and was at once enchanted by your looks and the way you carried yourself

You were like a magical creature of beauty to her

She didn’t dare disturb you in the beginning; she was content just watching

She was sure that her infatuation was purely aesthetic; you were just pretty, that was all there was to it

Except IT WASNT

One day she happened to actually interact with you

She was a little nervous, what with you being held so high in her head

But you absolutely floored her

The way you spoke, the way you saw her as a person…

You hooked her like a bass in a pond

She stood there breathless after your first interaction, watching you walk away with a racing heart

It was then that she knew this was much more than physical attraction

She HAD to have you, or at least try to

And trust me, she will try her hardest 😤

She’ll court you for a while first, just to see if you’re even interested

But if/when you are, she won’t be taking her time in confessing ;D

Tim/Masky

Methinks you’d have been friends for a while first

You went through a lot of things together: good times, bad times, silence, chaos…

And maybe you weren’t besties or anything, or super enthusiastic about each other (actually you’re probably a little cold to each other if anything, even if you do feel strongly attached)

But the point is that you have a history, and you know each other well

Plus there’s an unspoken bond that says you’ll have to tolerate each other for a long time (unspoken obligatory friendship moment)

Not that either of you minded

So one day you’re enjoying some silence together, relaxing out on a balcony and waiting for the dark clouds to pour rain

Your eyes are fixed on the sky, leaving your face in full view of the world

And, more importantly, Tim

He’s not sure why, but his gaze catches on your face

He starts admiring the little features: your eyes, the curve of your nose, the way your eyebrows are shaped…

He doesn’t decide that you’re beautiful. He decides that this is the face of someone he loves

It hits him like a truck—just a random thought out of nowhere:

This is the face of someone I love.

And while he’s taken aback at first, with a reddening face he realizes it’s true

He does love you!! All that you’ve been through together really meant something to him

He looks away bashfully, grumbling something when you ask if something’s up

Get ready for the long game…. This man will never confess

He’ll curse himself for even insinuating any feelings for you, so you’ll be left in the dark unless you’re REALLY good at picking up accidental gestures

“Ticci” Toby

He’d be so oblivious to his own feelings

He’d act super affectionate towards you, but only because he acts on impulse

He never stops to wonder why he gets the impulse to hug you or pinch you or say something not-so-mean (even NICE?! 🤯) when he’s around you

He doesn’t even notice that he only gets those impulses for you

So you’ll probably figure it out before him

And it’s only when you start to return that affection that he really starts to question

But again. He is SO OBLIVIOUS

It takes him a very long time to figure it out… you honestly might just have to spell it out for him

He can’t even take hints

I think that when he finally does figure it out, it’s a fleeting thought that catches for some reason

Like, he’s just daydreaming or something and suddenly he’s dreaming of dating you

And he thinks: hey, that wouldn’t be so bad. But it’s not like I like them like that. Wait…. Do I?

And then he’s just. Floored. Because HOW DID HE MISS IT FOR THAT LONG

Literally grips his hair like “WHAT!!!!”

Immediately runs to go yell at you tell you that he loves you

And you’re just like “oh I know. But thanks for finally confessing! <3”

Thank you so much for reading!! Take care my sweet duckies <33

How do you think Malleus would deal with overblotting and he threatens to put his crush to sleep until they experience true loves kiss, but crush is like “You can do that?! I’ve not been sleeping much lately, so I want you too.… are you going to kiss me in a couple of months to wake me up though or am I going to have to wait for somebody else?”

Omg, you come up with the most fun scenarios. I have a thing for overblot since the designs are so cool, I wonder what Malleus would be like if he were to overblot (it’s probably going to be the end of the world then). Thank you for the ask!

Malleus is more on the yandere side for this too, and the storyline might seem a bit out-of-the-blue, but I hope you enjoy!

Overblot!Malleus x reader

No one expected the fae prince to overblot, not even Lilia. How did this all start? Everyone could only look at you as the answer.

You had arrived to Night Raven College from seemingly nowhere, and you were the only person in the school without magic. You had gotten along with Grim, Ace, and Deuce when you first arrived, and now, after being part of the chaotic school for a while, you had gotten to know a lot more people. One of them happened to be Malleus, one of the greatest magic users in Twisted Wonderland.

A few days before the overblot, you were sitting outside in the school courtyard with the usual trio, eating something you had attempted to bake and talking about how Crewel’s lab that day had been brutal.

“Y/N!!!!” a familiar voice called to you. You and your friends turned to the direction of the voice to see none other than the headmaster himself, running to you with a smile on his face.

“It seems that I have found a way back for you to go home! Aren’t I just the kindest?” he beamed, putting his hands on his hips.

“Really?!” you hadn’t felt your spirit rise as much as it had in this moment. You could finally go home, back to where your friends were, away from this confusing magic, and...

But you remembered. You had many friends here that you might never see again. Looking back at the trio only confirmed this as they gave you a weak smile.

“Hey, at least you don’t have to take Trein’s exam then,” Deuce laughed.

You walked back to Ramshackle with Grim later in the day.

“I can’t believe it, you’re actually leaving!” Grim pouted. “Just when I thought I was getting a henchman!”

“Hey at least you can be housewarden for real now,” you tried to assure him. But he looked up at you with sad eyes as you opened the door to your dorm.

“I won’t see you again, right?” Grim said in a quieter voice, his eyes seemed to droop.

You bit your lip, it was hard thinking you had gotten so close with a talking cat, but it was true. You two had been through ups and downs, all of it together, and now it was just the end.

But no one was more upset about your departure than a certain housewarden.

Sebek had learned you were leaving when you announced it during Vargas’s class. Everyone was telling you good luck and safe travels, also saying tearful goodbyes.

“It seems that the Ramshackle’s leader is leaving now,” Sebek said as he saw Malleus enter the dorm.

“Oh? Is the cat leaving?” Malleus wasn’t sure if Sebek was talking about you or Grim.

“No, y/n,” Sebek replied. “It’s a bit sad that they’re leaving, but-“

Before Sebek could finish, he heard something snap. Looking over at Malleus, he realized the fae prince had broken the phone that was in his hand.

“Ah, lord Malleus,” Sebek tried to reach for the prince but he soon disappeared.

Malleus hadn’t felt this kind of fear before. He was, afraid? The great prince was scared of something? Yes, it was the fact that someone who seemed to understand him, accept him and admire him, was leaving. You were the only person he truly felt a connection to either than Lilia, and was hoping that you would never leave, as horrible as that sounds. He had gotten attached to you after he saw you in Ramshackle as he was taking a walk. The two of you often visited quieter areas of the campus and talked together. It was as if you brightened his days, and made his heartbeat go faster.

He wasn’t going to let you go so quickly.

He ran to your dorm, only to see that the lights were off. Perhaps you were sleeping? You were likely going to have a long trip tomorrow, so you had to be inside. But as soon as he tried to open the door, a ghost showed up next to him.

“Oh, you must be the one kid walking around here often!” the ghost smiled at him.

“Where’s y/n.”

The ghost looked surprised at how dead serious the student was, and swallowed hard.

“Well, y-y/n left a while ago, apparently they’re all packed up and-“

Malleus wasn’t having this. At all. First y/n leaves without saying goodbye, and now he wasn’t invited to bid them farewell?

The stress seemed to be reaching a tipping point.

“...I see,” Malleus looked down at his hand. He was going to be alone again. Like all those centuries, he would see lives fleeting away while he remained the same. But, he couldn’t let you, there had to be a way to stop you!

All the emotions he had bottled up for you seemed to spill over as he realized how he needs to act, quickly.

“I guess I’ll just have to get you by force then.”

The whole building seemed to shake. You even stopped midway while you were climbing the stairs. You held on, wondering what was going on. Lilia, who was concerned that Malleus hadn’t returned to the dorms yet, was walking around to see if he was looking for you. Lilia was right.

The vice dorm leader stepped into what felt like a dark puddle, pieces of rubble floated in the air around him.

“What’s going on, Malleus, is that you?!” Lilia shouted over the rumbling sound that was being caused by whoever was cloaked in a dark smoke. He didn’t need an answer as one glowing emerald eye was enough for Lilia to understand.

Malleus had overblotted.

You were still holding onto the stairs, but you felt the pressure of whatever magic was going on grow stronger every second. Was something, someone approaching you? Before you could think one more time, you suddenly felt like you were being lifted from the stairs and up into the air. Something was holding you. Was it thorns?

“W-wha?!”

You thrashed around, getting cut by the sharp edges until you saw someone floating up the staircase and towards you.

“If you keep moving around like that, you’ll get hurt, human.”

“M-Malleus, Malleus what are you doing?!” you shouted at him. This was unreasonable! You looked at his face, and then his entire body. Only then did you realize he too was going overboard. Why did it happen on the day you were leaving?! There was no one around you, and Lilia was still running after Malleus so he would be a few minutes late to the scene.

“L-look, if you want me to stay, I told you that I can’t!” you tried to reason with the prince. Malleus didn’t look like he was having it however.

“I can make the excuse that you weren’t able to make it to the mirror,” Malleus responded. He was only a few inches away from you now, his hand on your chin so you could look up at him.

“How?” you asked slowly, his gaze was too strong for you to keep eye contact with.

“Well it’s simple, have you heard the tale about the sleeping princess? It’s quite popular in Briar Valley,” he gave you a soft smile. Before you knew it, there was what looked like a barrier around you two, shutting off any access from others. From the corner of your eye, you saw what looked like Lilia and Grim.

“Y/N!” Grim shouted, but you couldn’t hear him due to the magic shield around you and the overblotted housewarden.

“We can’t break through this easily,” Lilia held his magic pen in the air before shooting a beam at the wall, but it didn’t make a single dent, let alone a scratch.

Crowley seemed to be on the opposite side, on the top of the stairs, watching what was going on. He too was trying to break the barrier.

“Malleus! This is unacceptable! What are you doing?!”

“Everyone’s so loud outside, they weren’t even invited,” Malleus muttered. Before you knew it, the two of you were teleported somewhere else.

You were still held by the thorns, but you were now standing. You two seemed to be at one of the towers of the school. It was the same place the two of you had the Gargoyle Study Club meetings. No one knew about this location other than Malleus, you, and Silver, but it wasn’t likely the third member of the club would be coming up here soon.

“That’s a bit better,” Malleus gave you a soft smile, something he used to do often when he saw you talk about your life back in your world.

“As I was saying, the sleeping princess is a famous tale, one where she was under a sleeping curse. The curse would only be lifted once she received a true love’s kiss,” Malleus continued, looking off at the distance somewhere. The skies were beautiful after all that night.

“Ah,” you looked down at the ground.

 “You can do that?” you surprised him with your words. “I’ve not been sleeping much lately, and with everything that’s going on right now it doesn’t sound so bad.”

He thought you were joking, but he let you go on.

“I’ve been interested in you as well, so, are you going to kiss me in a couple of months to wake me up? Or am I going to have to wait for somebody else?”

“Child of man, this is no joke,” he looked at you, dead serious in the eyes.

“I know, but with how you don’t want me to go, and how I caused you to overblot, I feel like the least I can do is stay and be asleep.”

“You’re tired.”

“More or less.”

There was a silence in the air. You weren’t sure if playing the situation lightly would get him to come back to his senses. You didn’t want to sleep for eternity, and you didn’t want to risk the chance of Malleus kissing you and you never waking up. So, out of spite, you tried to make things more light-hearted, just like you always tried to brighten his mood.

Malleus closed his eyes and chuckled softly to himself. Suddenly, the whole pressure that was around the two of you seemed to intensify.

“I do not wish to let you go so easily, and as you seem unafraid of a sleeping death, perhaps that is what you truly wish.”

Overblots are hard to stop, and not only that if the overblot is from a powerful mage things could be nearly impossible to stop. Lilia and Grim, along with Crowley, saw the two of you at the tower and rushed up there. But once they reached the top, they saw the two of you, with you in his arms, asleep.

“They're asleep,” Malleus looked at the headmaster, then at Lilia. He was back to normal, with his school uniform and his usual nonchalant aura.

“Draconia, do you know what you did?” Crowley asked. Malleus looked at the headmaster with wide eyes.

“No, I’m afraid I’m not aware. I seemed to have blacked out the moment y/n left for the stairs,” Malleus looked down at you.

“Is y/n okay?” Grim asked, jumping out of Lilia’s arms.

“Yes, they said I was acting strangely before passing out,” Malleus replied.

Somehow, it seems that Malleus was able to return to normal after overblotting, not to mention you were able to stop him from cursing you. You did manage to stay for a little longer, so that both Malleus and you could be less lonely.

“If you did curse me, I don’t know if I would’ve liked it,” you laughed while at the infirmary, Malleus was sitting next to your bed.

“It pains me that I almost did such a thing,” Malleus sighed, closing his eyes and leaning back in the chair.

“But hey, I could’ve gotten a kiss from you, and maybe been less tired” you replied. Before you knew it, Malleus had placed a kiss on your lips.

“There, are you awake now?”

“...As awake as I could be.”

This Week in BL

June 2023 Wk 2

Being a highly subjective assessment of one tiny corner of the interwebs. Organized by which ones (in each category) I’m enjoying most.

Ongoing Series - Thai

Step By Step (Tues WeTV & Gaga) ep 7 of 10 - I really adore the family/household dynamics in this show. All the relationships between siblings are so well executed. All the tension and sub text and covert glances in the first “modeling” sequence was so good. I really want to watch the BL within this BL. Bruce is THE BEST. Jeng shutting down everyone with a cool few words is genius (especially given the curt sharp flat way he speaks Thai). Why does nobody have parasols or sun hats or sunshades or sunglasses or anything? I’m actually not mad about seeing an attempted reunion with the ex, bc we are getting to see both that (and how) they once were good together, and also the cracks that drove them apart (and will not allow them to ultimately be together a 2nd time around). I do feel sorry for Jeng, he moved too slowly and lost the 1st round. The captions were not good in the trunk seen, but trust me it was totally hilarious. 

La Pluie (Sat iQIYI) ep 7 of 10 - I finally figured out why I am so tense around this show. In openly taking to task and challenging the soulmates trope, this narrative is telling viewers not to trust it’s core trope - which means we cannot trust the main couple to end happily, nor can we trust those characters who believe most strongly in fated mates (Pat & Mai). This means I, personally, not only can’t rely on an HEA but (as someone who also does not believe in soulmates) I am not entirely sure I even WANT an HEA. This has NEVER happened to me before. It makes me uncomfortable because that’s a core part of my identify with these shows. I mean, good job La Pluie, but also.... huh. Back to this ep: Uh oh. The crush is obvious and the soulmate knows what’s up now. The sex scene twist was v interesting, v gay, and v unusual in a BL. Unfortunately it’s still a BL so the faen fatal just HAD to appear. Will there ever be one out of Thailand where this trope doesn’t show up? Next week is the tried & true uke damsels off into the woods alone. Sigh. 

Our Skyy 2 (Bad Buddy & 1k*) eps 12-16fin - Jimmy, baby, why so hot in an engineering smock? Please have mercy. Aw, Marc is back in yet ANOTHER BL. Definitely the current record holder for most BLs at any one time. (His filming schedule must’ve been insane at the beginning of this year!) PatPran are still great, and their eps this had me hooting with laughter (startling the cat). I forgot how much I enjoyed this show and cast. (Ohm looks great with longer hair, but also he’s lost a lot of weight. I hope he’s OK.) OhmNanon give pitch perfect LTR energy. Throwing EarthMix into the, erm, mix is fun if awkward. NO SINGING. 2 damsels in the forest! Also PatPran = geniuses at mock fighting. So much flirting. It was all quite adorbs. But me-thinks Chief & Tian have been eating moonlight chicken. Full review below. 

Be My Favorite (Fri YouTube) ep 3 of 10? - was enjoying it up until the last bit, why so digusted by smooches? Bad GMMTV no green tea for you. Trash watch here! Rollercoaster about to go DOWWNNNN. 

Luminous Solution (Sat Gaga) ep 3 of 6 - I still only like the high school characters + Dome (WHY so gorgeous?). Is he a magical spirit too? Also, the subs were well off kilter. 

Ongoing Series - Not Thai

Our Dining Table AKA Bokura no Shokutaku (Japan Thurs Gaga) ep 10 fin - God they’re so cute. This show used the manga as a storyboard, so I knew the “crisis of faith over possibility of loss” would happen. Still in live action this felt tonally off. While understandable given Yutaka’s character, and ultimately particularly important for the dad and a relationship with the family, I don’t know we needed it in this BL. The book does have a better ending second scene, but it wouldn’t be possible to do it on screen easily. Ultimately, this show had a simple, touching, quiet end to it. That’s very like the show as a whole. I did love it - it’s been top of my list all along. Full review after the special airs. 

Love Tractor (Korea Weds iQIYI) eps 1-2 of 8 - I LOVE IT SO MUCH. IT IS EVERYTHING. SHUT UP I AM FERRIL FOR THE BEAUTIFUL CITY BOY AND THE YOUNG FARMER. Come on. Korea. SRS? Plus some language play? I just go die now. 

Star Struck (Korea iQIYI & Gaga) ep 7-8 fin - Man this was a difficult show for me. I know we’re supposed to identify with HanJoon but I really felt for YooJae. I’ve been in his position more often than I care to count, and it’s terrible to lose a friend because they caught feelings and you did not. It’s an awful thing to hold a friendship hostage on condition of a romantic relationship. Especially if the other person is not sexually interested in you! All that said, the boyfriend ep was okay. Not sure I believed in this relationship, but it was cute enough. The final ep was (how do I put this?) a loser. We spent a lot of time with terrible home lives and then a semi happy for now final scene? Whatever. Full review below. 

Vian the series (Vietnam YouTube ) ep 6 of 12 - somehow I keep missing this one, I’ll catch it next week. 

Naked Dinner AKA Zenra Meshi (Japan Fri Gaga) ep 9 of 12 - I think the Taiwanese boss is my favorite character. Japan rarely (if ever ) trots out the faen fatal trope. I mean I named it with a Thai word for a reason, it’s not from origin yaoi at all. Yet still there she is. Sigh. This show. 

Stupid Genius (Vietnam Fri YouTube) ep 1 of 6 - RL Studio (Stupid Boys Stupid Love) bringing us yet another high school set VBL. It’s actually not bad. I see a lot of common faces whom I’ve enjoyed in past VBLs. 

It’s Airing But ...

House of Stars (Thai Mon iQIYI) 12 eps - I bounced at ep 3. Will binge if told it is worth it at end.

Stay (Pinoy YouTube) 7 eps - It’s mostly in English and set in LA so I’m not bothering but the first one did drop.

Ever After (Pinoy ????) - I got nothing. 

Takumi-kun Series 6: Nagai Nagai Monogatari no Hajimari no Asa (Japan Sun ????) 10 eps - NO ONE ASKED FOR THIS and no, I have no idea where to get it, why would I? (Say it with me everyone: Oh Japan, must you?*)

Boys Love Omegaverse (Japan ????) - honestly tho? Who tf cares? You’ll still tell me if you find it, because inquiring minds... Irony of this airing at the same time as Takumi-kun. Full circle much, Japan? 

Tin Tem Jai Special (Thai ????) - honestly I checked Gaga & iQiyi in my territory (craptastic hotel) and neither had it listed so I quickly gave up. I mean OF COURSE I WOULD LIKE TO SEE Lee Long Shi in a bathtub, who wouldn’t? But... 

Just because I didn’t watch the special doesn’t mean I can’t gank Lee Long Shi wearing nothing but soap bubbles for you. 

I’m not a monster. 

Ended This Week 

Our Skyy 2 final 4 eps thoughts: This was an interesting combination, and don’t get me wrong I very much enjoyed it, but it felt like the story was carried by PatPran’s characters while the setting and narrative followed an ATOTS arc - ultimately disjointed. OhmNanon are so bold and vibrant they’re too stark a tonal contrast to EarthMix’s more refined and elegant approach, so for me the screen presences and the style of story clashed. It was like a bouquet made up of tulips & roses: they are both flowers and they’re both pretty, but I feel like they actually belong in different vases. Still, enjoyable. And I got a crying kiss. Always makes me happy. Definitely the best of this bunch, and probably the best Our Skyy (and I genuinely loved both the NLMG historical installment and SOTUS.) 8/10 

Star Struck. A friends to lovers story that felt more friends to tolerant yet disinterested partner. It was more about challenges with parents and class strife. I would’ve been disappointed if the show hadn’t come out of nowhere so I had no expectations. But as KBLs go, don’t bother. 6/10 

Next Week Looks Like This:

Starting:

6/15 Tokyo in April AKA Shigatsu no Tokyo wa (Japan Gaga) 8 eps - Based on a yaoi, this is a reunion romance that takes place in an office. Japan does Our Dating Sim? Yes please.

Still Coming - June 2023

6/22 About Us but Not About Us (Pinoy movie from 2022 on Prime) - A professor grieving the loss of his partner meets an ambitious literature student.

6/24 Why You (Khmer BL ????) - Billed as a horror romance, not sure if this is a movie or a series where it will air... nothing except that it exists.

6/24 Tie The Knot AKA Under the Same Sky (Pinoy movie on Prime) Trailer - I guess Prime is coming for our Pinoy BL? From OXIN Films (Rainbow Prince), announced for 2022 based on a true story, Briggs's family runs a bridal business but he has never had a chance to fall in love until he meets Shao, a groom to be.

6/25 Dinosaur Love (Thai iQIYI) Trailer 5 eps - from Ultimate Troop about a uni student, Rak, whose partner cheats on him with Rak's best friend. This gives bad boy hazer Dino an opportunity to hit on Rak at last. From The Yearbook people so I will not watch this as it airs. After Remember Me? Never again with them.

2023 forthcoming BL master post (see comments, some are inaccurate, NOT KEPT UPDATED)

[two-red-lungs]

Wait so if we have all the NSFW what about poly? Nsfw? Like you've managed to catch attention and keep it? What would it be like? Please and thank you!

Oh man. Poly!LostBoys is my specialty. They would be... insane. It would be a borderline terrifying environment to be in. Here's my take on being in a poly four-part relationship with all the boys.

Poly!LostBoys Headcanons (NSFW):

First of all, consider yourself insanely lucky. AND horribly unlucky. Lucky because you didn't end up with your throat ripped out like most people. Unlucky because, well... now you're on their radar.

Somehow, if you've magically managed to catch the attention of all four of them? And intensely enough that they're willing to share? Oh man. Your life is over.

Because normally they care so little about human life. That doesn’t change when they find you. But you, you’re different to them. You’re “not like other humans.”

Basically, you belong to them now. Possessive and under-boundaried x 4. You will never know a moment of peace.

But if you're into that, congrats, you've won the jackpot.

In a poly relationship with the boys, there is always someone with you. Doesn't matter when you are: they're walking you arm-and-arm down the street, keeping tabs on you from their bike and glaring at you through your work window, standing out in the hall while they wait for you to get out of the bathroom. It's borderline intimidation.

"Whatcha doin' baby? Don't be like that baby. Come with us baby. C'mere baby." It's RELENTLESS. Someone's always got a hand on your hip or shoulder, or demanding a kiss or for you to sit on their lap.

Basically, you're a toy.

Because to them, you’re theirs, they are very protective. Nobody gets near you, not even physically. Marko hisses at people. David just stares murderously. Anyone eyeing you up will end up dead.

You're manhandled 24/7 because the boys don't know how to contextualize their strength. I'm talking being lifted up and placed on bikes, grabbed by the upper arm hard enough to bruise. Having arms slung over your shoulders and being crushed to their sides. Dragged over to dance so hard your shoulder nearly dislocated.

The attention is addictive though, holy shit. Their eyes are always on you, watching everything you do like it fascinates them. They point-blank tell you how hot you are to them, how much they like you, etc.

David can tell the second you're hungry and rallies the boys for dinner. Dwayne is your watchdog: he's always keeping tabs on you and your environment with that smoulder. Paul is constantly touchy and sensual: brushing your hair to the side and kissing your neck, holding you against his lap and grinding into you in public. Marko becomes part of the animal kingdom: winning you plushies, giving you trophies, not-so-subtly rubbing himself on you so you smell like him.

You get moved out of wherever you live immediately and have to live with them. You'll probably have to quit whatever job you have, too. Your life ends up revolving around the four of them.

So they never ever leave you alone, your personal space is constantly invaded, you are basically not allowed to have friends or family outside of them anymore... but hey? The sex is good.

The sex is so fucking good oh my god oh my GOD.

They’re a bunch of 20-somethings permanently stuck with their high sex drive, only now they all have several decades of experience. 

For starters, you’re cumming every night. Probably multiple times. Like, the boys don’t understand that you need recovery time and it’s rare that you beg them well enough to give you a rest day.

Expect threesomes on a regular basis. Paul rutting against your ass while David smokes and fingers you, or maybe Marko demanding a blowjob and Paul wandering over and you jerking him off with a mouthful of dick.

Either way you are in, like, a constant state of having to wipe cum off of you lmaoooo it’s very sisyphus and his boulder 

I think David gets the final say in most things, and sort of acts like a ‘director’ with the boys taking their cues from him. If David turns to Paul and says “Our doll is lookin’ a little lonely, don’t you think?” You’d better believe Paul is going to bend you over the couch in the cave and rail you asap

Dwayne is always last in line. Not because he lowest in the pecking order, far from it, really he’s the muscle and enforcement, but because he is hung. You really need to be fucked open before he’ll even fit inside you.

So expect Marko to give you a mindblowing orgasm and leave you limp and panting and Dwayne will pounce on you and ease himself into you. He’s been waiting for this.

And sex with all of them at once?? Hoooo man. Strap in and bring a water bottle. They are demanding.

They’ll coo about how pretty you look even when you’re fucked-out and exhausted, lifting your head to ease their cock into your mouth. Those boys will make you cum. Probably to the point of passing out. And they’ll tease you and mock you, rubbing you till you’re overstimulated and crying.

Being boxed in by four horny vampires caressing you, playing with your hair, stripping your clothes off, is probably the most intimidating and sexy thing you’ll ever experience.

TL:DR it’s a lot. Is the poly relationship worth it? Who knows. It kind of depends on how crazy you are.

[inflammatoryfandomblog]

the fandom’s discourse around dark magic is pretty much just a manifestation of “people know what they’re upset with, but not the root cause/can’t verbalize a solution to what they’re upset about.”

people who are unhappy with how dark magic is treated generally understand how the narrative frames it. they are correct in saying that there is a problem, and that it somehow involves the setting and dark magic, and then say that maybe it could be fixed if the magic system were changed. but their prescribed solution doesn’t work. the deeper problem is how the narrative uses (or doesn’t use) dark magic.

(flashback reel effect here, basically entirely rewritten but the format still doesn’t work for a full-fleged post so i will keep this transition in.)

that’s what really kills dark magic in this series, right? the fantasy question, “was dark magic good to use and when should it be used, if ever?” should be a jumping off point to explore all the other ways in which people value and instrumentalize power (ie sol regem literally saying the humans are inferior because they are less powerful) instead of staying only at the shallow level of “dork magic is bad for you.” just because the elves don’t use dark magic doesn’t mean they are immune to this discussion. indeed, the very first episode of the show shows us the moon elves engaging in a ritual that can be described as blood magic--binding their limbs to the blood of their targets; is this supposed to be magic that is Pure and Good? is the base problem really just dark magic, or what it represents? and more importantly, is what it represents limited to its practioners? the early answer--especially that we see this stuff from the xadians and are informed of their implied failed genocide early on--would be “no.”

but the later answer is “yes.” this early promise of the show is undercut by the show’s babybrained morality re: xadia and the elves. it never really critiques power in general at all except if its dark magic. it’s all fine and dandy and fun and smart to dunk on the humans, but xadians? insensitive. soren is bad and stupid for making a bad tactical decision, but pyrrah is a Good Dragon Friend even when retaliating against a whole village. it’s not tragic when ezran (a dumb child king who just let this happen) napalms his own people, because they have already been de-personed by dark magic. how convenient! 

and the story that dark magic creates--even if it is inherently harmful--is a great tragic story! the xadians, obsessed with power and how power makes you who you are, are stabbed in the back when some of the dredges finally discover a way to speak their language--and this doesn’t cause basically any self-reflection on their part. instead they basically go all out genocidal and no matter how bad dark magic is, this is extremely disproportionate. but the series still goes “but they are no angels!!! but they are no angels!!!” to basically one side only. for the xadians, the show (and even the supplementary material!) basically does backflips and contortions to show how they are nuanced and how humans should respect them, but there’s basically nothing the other direction.

you can say “oh good inflammatoryfandomblog!!! you’re seeing the point!!!” except i don’t really believe that the show has any intentions of making good on this initial promise. it has given me no indication of doing so, and its asymmetric treatment of the conflict basically does the opposite of the above. this problem does not go away if you change the magic system. this problem does not go away by simply noting the thematic potential of the setup of dark magic. ideas are cheap, though this is one that perhaps costs a nickel instead of a penny. the real problem is the execution.

#oh we spent four seasons trying to bamboozle you #the REAL twist is coming!!! #and if it's like #then it's too late #extremely frustrating that people just. intentionally decide that the problem is that detractors just don't understand the show uwu #people don't invest so much time hating on something unless it has disappointed them in some way #(or for clicks lol. but let's be real. the dragon prince is not a popular show.) #the dragon prince fundementally fails in its themeing and applying it across all the story and the actors in it #no amount of scrubbing away plot inconsistencies (or fixing them) can fix this #and the show is deciding to focus on the eggplant elf #you thought you could get away from aaravos hating? #you can't. #tied with ezran for being the worst character in the show #tdp #tdp critical #me.txt #begone thought

Through Love And By Love (Pt. 12)

Summary: Twenty-Two years ago, Draco Malfoy used the imperius curse to slow Voldemort’s rise to power. No good deed goes unpunished. Warning: this series contains mature subject matter surrounding use of the imperius curse, discussions of trauma and mental illness; reader discretion advised.

18+ ONLY this chapter contains sexual content.

Part 11

Rosanna comes to with steady chatter around her.

“Shook the whole bloody ministry!”

“Oh please.”

“Careful, these walls have ears.”

Someone is there, carding her hair, softly massaging her temples.

Draco, it has to be, Draco.

He was taught the art of legillimacy and occlumency by his aunt Bellatrix. It wasn’t until he met Rosanna that he learned it didn’t have to hurt. Legillimacy does not have to be the searing stab of a blade. It could be a loving caress, a quiet exchange of information.

When Rosanna began invading his mind forcefully, to hone her skills for the ministry, there was pain. Gritting teeth, clenched fists and big fat tears welled up in her eyes. She hated hurting him. They were advised to have another occlumen step in, but Draco was adamant she practice on only him.

“The mind holds intimacies which even our bodies cannot comprehend. I’d rather you didn’t share such things with a stranger. Learn with me; be vulnerable with me, then take your knowledge into the world once you are prepared.”

“Ok,” Rosanna agrees. She’d rather it be him than anyone else.

There is a closeness there, a bond formed during late nights in the privacy of their bedroom that only they would ever understand. And when Rosanna finally learns to break down the walls of his mind entirely, Draco insists that he be the one to teach her true occlumency.

The crash course he’d given to deceive Bellatrix was just that, a half assed Hail Mary between teenagers. But they are older now. They have more time.

Forcing himself past Rosanna’s mental barrier is excruciating at first. Her tear stained cheeks return, with cries of discomfort echoing from the walls. His magic stabs at her, scratches and claws its way in.

“Enough.” Draco attempts to end the session, when her wailing is loud enough to be heard outside, if not for the silencing charm.

“No, I can do it.” Rosanna insists as he sets his wand aside, collecting her in his arms.

“Advanced occlumency is not a skill one learns on a whim, certainly not all in one night.” He hadn’t gone easy on her either.

He fucks any farther argument out of her and she lets him. Cumming until she can’t anymore. Even the sex is different, better now. All consuming.

“Look at me, Rosanna.”

“I can’t.” It’ll kill her, the intensity of it.

Draco nudges at her cheek with his nose. “I will teach you everything I know, in due time. In return, you’re going to give me your eyes while you cum for me.”

The trade isn’t exactly a fair one, but they both deliver on their end of the bargain.

Draco so rarely uses legillimacy on her that Rosanna is shocked to find him trying. To his credit, Draco is gentle, incredibly so, stroking her hair all the while. Like pressing kisses to a wound. He pours over the details of Rabastan’s questioning, forcing himself deeper each time she attempts to put him out.

Why can’t she get him out? She pushes back with enough force that Draco grunts, their connection severed with a stinging snap.

“Oh good,” he muses, “you’re up.”

Rosanna opens her eyes to make sense of it. She is on the lush velveteen couch of her husband’s office, slumped against him.

Harry and Hermione are hovering over the case file on Draco’s desk a few feet away.

Rosanna tries to sit up.

“Easy.” Draco warns, helping to steady her.

“My head-”

“The Gryffindor in you dies hard, I’ll have you know. I couldn’t get a handle on your magic until you fainted and even then you fought me. Bravery and courage are not personality traits, they are personality disorders.” He informs his wife, reaching over for a potion vile and uncorking it.

“They’re not disorders.” She says, gulping down the liquid. Relief is almost instantaneous.

“They are when you believe your only purpose is to serve the greater good. When your bravery leads you to think that your life is meaningless and should be sacrificed at the first opportunity. You’re not afraid of anything, I wish you were. It would keep you safe, at the very least afford you a shred of self preservation.”

"I am afraid of things." She corrects him. "I'm afraid of the people I love getting hurt.”

"I will protect you and that which you love, at any cost.” He vows. There’s no need to spend the rest of her days on the front lines.

"Doesn’t sound too self preserving,” Ro accuses.

"There is no me without you, keeping you alive is as self preserving as it gets."

"Are you still that disgustingly in love with me after all this time?" Rosanna wonders, her tone isn't patronizing, but genuinely curious.

"I suspect I'll always be disgustingly in love with you. Is that going to be an issue?" The man arches a brow.

"No,” Rosanna bites back a grin, as she traces a finger over the furrow of his brows, smoothing it flat. “You and me both.”

He pecks a kiss to her outstretched hand, the same one he’d sliced open and pressed against his own, not long before. “There’s work to be done.” Draco says, flicking his gaze to Potter and Granger, pointedly.

There’s always work to be done.

————————————————————————

Leo receives word about the information leak within the ministry, printed promptly across the front page of the Daily Prophet.

A confidence breech within the Ministry of Magic has released hundreds of sealed case files, including but not limited to that of Draco Malfoy’s abduction and imprisonment, of then girlfriend, Rosanna McVay. Both Draco and Rosanna Malfoy have refused to provide statements at this time.

There’s only one place she can go, not to her flat with Henry and not to her parents…

Leo knocks once at the door of the mansion, located on the backlot of her childhood home. Her parents offered to build her and Henry a home there too, though she respectfully declined. It is easier somehow, to get lost in muggle London, somewhere their names mean nothing to anyone. “Grandma,” she calls. After finding the first floor empty. “Grandpa.”

“Up here,” Lucius replies, just loud enough to be heard.

Leo takes the stairs to meet him, following his voice to the upstairs parlor.

A copy of the Prophet lies crumpled on the floor, Lucius standing stoically, at the center of the room, glaring at the far wall. Their family tree. They’d torn the old one out of Malfoy Manor, when it became Draco and Rosanna’s. Refinished it to only include what is left of their family. Narcissa, Andromeda, Teddy. So on and so forth, until it reaches the bottom.

Leo’s eyes find her picture, the leaves that connect to her mother and father, extending in a line through each of her siblings. Arlo, Vega, Polaris, Scorpius, Corina.

However there is a new branch, stemming off in the opposite direction, Henry. She draws in a steadying breath. Lucius Malfoy has added a squib to his beloved wall.

“My father would beat me to death if he saw this.” Lucius sniffs, indignantly. “When Draco married your mother, I knew what I was meant to do. Burn his portrait from the family tree, erase any evidence that my son had ever existed. I could never bring myself to do it.”

Leo rests a hand on his back.

“But, your mother is on the wall. You and your siblings are on the wall…it’s only right that your husband should be too.”

“This wall is yours now.” Leo reminds him, softly. “Just because your father wouldn’t be proud of it doesn’t mean you can’t be.”

Lucius purses his lips, turning to the larger portrait behind him, which encased a much younger depiction of the Malfoy family. Only himself, Narcissa, Draco and a pregnant Rosanna. They chatter amongst themselves, within the frame.

“And what do you think?” He asks his daughter in law, calling Rosanna away from her perch on the chair.

Her eyes flicker about the Malfoy family tree, brushing a bit of hair behind her ears.

Leo never spent much time looking at this version of her mother. She was older than this Rosanna now, it turns her stomach. Her mother was so heartbreakingly young.

“It’s crooked.” The portrait says.

“Where?” Lucius demands.

Young Rosanna only smiles, “kidding.”

“Away with you,” Lucius waves a hand, “petulant thing.”

Rosanna returns to an anxious looking Draco, laughing softly about what she’d done.

He himself is far too young.

Leo chokes down her guilt. “Why do you keep it?” The portrait. “You have others.” Happier ones, with all of them smiling, carrying on.

Lucius lifts a shoulder, “penance.”

The word hits Leo dead in the chest, knocking the air from her lungs. She understands penance, perhaps better than anything else.

“I was supposed to keep them safe. They’re my children, and I couldn’t protect them. I still can’t.”

“It was me, you know. What you were trying to protect them from. I took away their freedom and sullied your beloved bloodline. It’s my fault.” Leo says, as if he needs reminding. “And I’ve carried that with me for all these years, without saying a word. Because I owe that to them, I owe that to all of you…to carry it. But it is so heavy, and I can never put it down.” She chokes over the words.

“You were never that, Leo. Not a burden or a cross to bear. You are the best of them.” Lucius passes a hand over her hair. “The best of us,” hair the color of his own, and that of his son. “I am so sorry for anything I’ve done to make you think otherwise.”

————————————————————————

“Who would do this?” Rosanna asks, pressing a hand to her temple. She can hardly think. Things have gone from bad to worse at the drop of a hat.

The assailant who stole information from the ministry used their collective absences to their advantage. While they were wrapped up in the Rabastan Lestrange debacle, their old case files had been ransacked. Worst of all, it has been determined that this attack was perpetrated by someone within the ministry itself.

“Someone who has it out for you.” Harry reasons.

“Someone always has it out for me.” Draco bites out, this is hardly news.

“Can anything be done for damage control?” Rosanna wonders.

“I’m afraid not…it was the entire case file.” Hermione gnaws at her bottom lip.

“What is it, Granger?” Draco demands, she knows something.

“There’s been a handful of petitions demanding that the ministry reopen your case.”

“We can disregard them if it’s just a handful, Hermione.” Harry reasons.

“It was more than a handful,” Rosanna confesses. She’d seen them, the pile of letters, some howlers. Hermione tried to quiet it, but she couldn’t anymore.

“If I ignore a public outcry of this magnitude, it will compromise my position as Minister for Magic. This has become a severe conflict of interest and I’m considering stepping down but I-”

“If you don’t try me, your successor will.” Draco says, with a shake of his head. “Draw up the papers and have me served.”

“Draco,” Rosanna reaches for him. “No.”

“It’s alright.” Draco soothes, taking her hand. “You can speak for me, like you did last time.”

Harry sees what he’s doing, providing Rosanna with a false sense of comfort. “I’ll speak too, as a character witness. Malfoy helped us defeat Voldemort at great personal expense.”

They would face this together. Come hell or high water.

Joel and Ellie moments that wrecked me like a firefly hospital: finale edition

the recap intro just made it so clear that the whole story is them - it’s their evolution from strangers to “you’re cargo” to “it’s okay baby girl i got you”

Ellie is clearly still going through it and Joel knows (”you’re extra quiet today” when Ellie has never been quiet before) and he’s trying so hard to get her to smile!! The Chef Boyardee, the Boggle, asking her for silly puns - they’ve had enough time together to have real memories and moments to call back to with each other and he’s using all of it to bring the Ellie he knows back

how Joel asks her to hold the gun for him and trusts her to carry it! they’ve grown so much since we first met them, he knows she has his back and she can handle it and she always does

he’s just being so gentle and fatherly with her - he’s given protective dad energy for a while now but we finally get to see him being nurturing and encouraging and it’s so sweet because she needs it now more than ever

he wants to teach her guitar because he thinks she’d be good at it i - 

Ellie utterly dropping the ladder and ignoring what Joel asked her to do in such a classic father/daughter moment but Joel letting her get away with doing that and running off because he’s just happy to see her excited about something again

THE GIRAFFE SCENE!!! how she’s so excited to show him this beautiful view she spotted and this fascinating creature and she wants to share it with him?? everything about this scene is magical but can we talk about the way Joel looks at Ellie with just all of the love in the world? just gazing at her smiling, watching his daughter feed the giraffe and giggle and in that moment he knows he’d do anything for this girl

which is precisely what prompts him to suggest they just “go home.” back to Tommy’s place in Wyoming. he’s seeing all the beauty there, how new things have grown in the place of such devastation and his life is blossoming again, too. growing new connections and new hope. this family of giraffes is playing together on the horizon. why not just save the beautiful things? why not just let themselves enjoy it? he’s already seen her sacrifice so much - why not just let his little girl rest? doesn’t she deserve that? doesn’t he deserve that?

“i’ll follow you anywhere you go.” I’LL FOLLOW YOU ANYWHERE YOU GO!!!

there’s so much said without them saying it: i’m not leaving you, i can’t leave you, i just want to keep you safe, i just want to make things better for you, i know you’ve lost people before but you won’t lose me

he’s talking about Sarah with her - all the things that were off limits before they can talk about now, they’re far from strangers and they just want to share these moments with the person they trust and love most in the world,,, if we want the reward of being loved with must subject ourselves to the terrifying ordeal of being known,,,

“it was me. i’m the guy that missed.” and how he says it not because he has to, but because he wants to tell her, he wants her to know, he wants to give her this thing he lived through so she can have a roadmap to surviving what she’s in the middle of 

how Ellie immediately sits down because she knows this is a Serious Talk Moment and she’s ready to listen

“i know why you’re telling me this.” “yeah i reckon you do.” they are so similar it hurts

“it wasn’t time that did it.” 

because it’s everything that isn’t said in this scene, maybe because they don’t know how to say it but both of them know it doesn’t need saying, not between them. how he looks at her - he’s telling her, it was you. how she understands - oh. wow. i didn’t realize. and maybe - you saved me, too. you saved me in ways i didn’t realize i needed saving. 

then how Joel gets choked up because he can see it in her eyes - he can see she knows what he means and maybe even that she feels the same way and that’s the moment that brings him to tears. he’s put his whole heart out there and she just accepts it. without words. 

when Joel immediately tries to lighten the mood because he’s a Dad and he’s grown emotionally but y’know, he’s still Joel - but they have a whole system now and he rates the puns omg 

of course the first thing he’s worried about when he wakes up is Ellie and of course the only thing she’s worried about is Joel

Marlene asks how they did it and “it was all her, she fought so hard to get here.” and she did and he’s so proud of her!! and it wasn’t just a fight to get to the hospital was it? it was a fight to get Joel to trust her, a fight to survive, a fight to find a family for herself and someone who could care about her but she fought so hard for both of them even when he was ready to give up, ready to send her off with Tommy to keep her safe or to make her leave him so his death wouldn’t lead to hers, she fought for them. 

that soft voice when the horror hits him. the brain. oh. oh god. not this. because he just got her and he can’t lose her, he cannot lose her, he will not lose her!!

“you don’t understand.” “i do. i’m the only one who understands.” but does she? you can feel that question in the silence. Joel wondering if Marlene can really understand when she’s only watched from afar? when she doesn’t know the value of a Will Livingston pun or the look on Ellie’s face when she’s feeding a giraffe or how she wants to go to the moon? how can she possibly understand what they’ve been through together, his face seems to ask. how can she know how they’ve saved each other time and time again?

forget Joel with David’s men. i thought that was the Joel that Tommy was afraid of. i was wrong. that wasn’t even a fraction of this Joel - this Joel who never stops once, who doesn’t even give them the chance, who goes after every single person in that building with no remorse, no pause. the Joel who is so terrifyingly focused on one single goal. saving Ellie.

he picks her up so tenderly, he makes sure her arm is covered, and then he carries her just like he carried Sarah. trying to save his baby girl at the end of the world. 

Marlene is trying to save the world, to create a better world - but if it’s a world without Ellie, it’s not a world Joel wants to live in. how could the world ever be better if she’s not in it?

“it’s okay, you’re with me.” the sequel to every look at me, it’s me. always reminding her that he is here and she is safe with him. he won’t let anyone hurt her, not if he can help it. and god help anyone who gets in his way.

he’s trying on their hike to lighten the mood again by talking about Sarah. cementing for him that Ellie is his daughter now, too. he can talk about both of them, and it’s like he’s trying to show her that she’s family to him now with the comparisons. but at the same time, ellie is hesitant. both because of the concern she harbors about the hospital and what really happened - but maybe too because this is just another reminder to her that she’ll never be Sarah. Joel will always be the only father and family she’s had. but he’ll always have had another daughter first - and if Sarah was still around, Ellie would never have Joel.

he’s lying, he’s lying to her and she knows it. that silence - she gave him one last chance to tell her the truth. she doesn’t know what happened, but she sure as hell knows Joel is keeping something from her. and my heart is breaking because all that stable bond they built - suddenly it’s shaky.

2023 Halloween Card Story-Owen

Here is Owen's Halloween 2023 SR card story, "His Typical Boredom-Killer", fully translated!

Cain is now two for two of North wizards being Normal to him during this event. And Owen, if you wanted Cain to kneel at your feet like a dog, you could just ask like a normal person.

mild cw for Owen making a joke about drowning

Part 1:

----------------------------

Owen: Ughh, so bored…

Owen: …..Oh. 

Owen: ….

Cain: Woah….So cool! I didn’t think there was gonna be that many floating around.

Cain: There should be enough for everyone, especially if I take the villagers up on their kind offe-

Owen: Sir Knight. I see you’re finally going to drown yourself.

Cain: Ahh! …. What the hell, Owen? 

Owen: What do you mean, what? Isn’t there something else you should be saying? 

Cain: ...Something else? Uh, don’t just suddenly appear right next to me like that? You kinda scared the hell outta me. 

Owen: …Is that really it? So I guess you’re just sitting around being useless. 

Cain: I’m not just sitting around…

Cain: You’re not doing anything either, right? Then come look at the spring here-these things are pretty interesting, especially when they’re floating around.

Cain: The scales reflecting the light like this kinda makes it look like an aurora, don't they?

Owen: …What are you even going on about? These are just some junk thewlis scales-are you a crow rummaging through the trash now? 

Cain: It’s not junk. It’s precious to the villagers here. 

Cain: I dunno if you know this, but if you put a thewlis scale into hot water, it purifies it in a flash. Kinda like the fountain here. 

Cain: So that’s why….the villagers, they said they really wanted to give some to us 'honorable wizards.' 

Owen: Oh, is that how it is? That means you, dear knight, are stealing treasure from this frozen, destitute village, when they already have so little to spare. 

Cain: Do you always have to jump straight to being evil……I was feeling kinda awkward, so I did actually try to refuse at first. 

Cain: But that just made it worse…they started getting anxious and telling me “they’d incur the animosity of wizards.” So I decided to take only as much as we can use in the Sage’s manor. 

Owen: ….Oh, really? 

Owen: Hey, what if I lend you a hand? 

Part 2:

-----------------------------

Owen: After all, it’s not every day I go out of my way to offer advice to a crude and tactless knight like you. 

Cain: …..You know, every time you say something like that, nothing good ever happens…

Cain: But what you told me when we were fighting off the vines definitely helped me out. 

Owen: What? I never said anything like that.

Cain: You’re the one who brought it up in the first place, so….. Well, there’s no time like the present. Why don’t you tell me the best way to pick up these scales then, Owen? 

Owen: Well, if you insist-show me your way of gathering them, first. 

Cain: Kay. ….. –Gladius Procella– !! 

Cain: ..Alright! I think that did the trick, don’t you? 

Owen: Really?  You didn’t collect even half the number you wanted-I’m not sure how you could miss that many in the first place. 

Owen: Well don’t just stand around, then-get in the water. You’re picking the rest up by hand. 

Cain: By hand? 

Owen: You use magic from your heart. So someone as graceless as you are would never be able to pick up such tiny objects. 

Owen: Since that’s the case, don’t you think picking them up by hand would be far more efficient? 

Cain: Well, yeah…? 

Owen: If you understand me so well, then go on. Why don’t you start with the one right under your nose? There’s one in the shade of those rocks too. 

Cain: Um, here and….over there…..

Owen: Behind you-turn around. Look, the ripples you're causing are making them float away. After you get that one, there’s another over here too. 

Owen: Oh, looks like one drifted over here by my feet. Come on, kneel. Quickly now, before it gets away. 

Cain: ….

Cain: Are you really having fun ordering me around like I’m a dog? 

Owen: Ohoho, what a terrible thing to say-I would never.

Owen: You should pick that one up there next. Well, go on, Cain. Fetch.

Character introduction: Dimentio

~Basic info~

Name: Dimentio

Age: ?

Birthday: ?

Hair color: Dark purple

Eye color: ?

Dimentio is a jester who claims to be the master of dimensions. For some reason, even after his alleged death, he appears in Project: SFA.

His personality appears to be exactly the same of how he was back before his death, a skillful trickster and sadistic among others still with his very colorful way of speech, except now with a deep hatred towards Mario and co. He swears that he’ll get revenge, even if the Heroes of this world aren’t the same as the ones who ruined everything.

Appearance wise… he appeared to have derived from his previous look. He’s now appears to be tall and lanky with an unnatural light purple skin tone and pointy ears, along with dark purple hair. He has another mask besides the full faced one that seems to cover part of his face now, the bottom part of his face exposed. His body is disproportionate, with some newly added details on his outfit but still maintaining his iconic jester look. (Full masked version of main reference pictured below)

For some reason, fate seemed to have… other plans for him. Princess Sweetheart found him injured one night, the last thing he remembered was laughing as the heroes caused his game to be over… The young princess appeared to somehow healed him, taking the jester in. Now he’s among the castle walls in secret, waiting for his opportunity to strike… all while playing along with the little girl.

~Power and abilities~

Dimentio after regaining his magic abilities (he loses them for a bit) appears to maintain everything he could originally do, (duplication, teleportation, invisibility etc.) but seemingly enhanced. The jester has no clue how, but why question such a gift? He also appears to have gained a few new cards to play, one being the ability to brainwash without using a Floro Sprout and instead with masks he can summon with magic that look just like his own. He can also still go into Dimension D, a dimension personally designed by him, but it appears that his ability to cross between worlds… has a new surprise.

~Relationships~

Sweetheart: “What a peculiar predicament I find myself in. First my game isn’t actually over but then the DAUGHTER of Mario and the princess helping me?!! What luck I have struck!— Oh! I’m supposed to be talking about her, no? Hm… well, she’s simply too naive for her own good. Going as far to keeping my wishes of staying hidden in the castle… Why, Ma’Cherie really thinks that she’s doing something good by helping me! She even appears to view me as… her uncle now. Ah ha ha… I cannot make her stop calling me that. Have I known previously that she didn’t understand the other meaning of uncle, I would have never muttered the word… I will bear it, for now… no matter how much it pains me… the child seems to possess a power that I cannot ignore… according to her, they’re from that brooch she always wears… I guess a magician like myself could use a new assistant! She’ll be a perfect bunny hidden away in their master’s hat, ready for showtime! I’ll make sure she stays in my grasp… I have my ways to… keep the rabbit trapped in my cage.”

Mario: “The mustached hero… seeing him waltz around as happy as ever makes me sicker than a scallywag on the rough seas… what better way of getting revenge… then to slowly make his daughter drift away from him? Ah ha ha ha ha ha!! Such an opportunity I cannot resist, you must understand~ Before destroying everything for perfect new worlds, I should have some fun to… humor myself ♪ Oh, I cannot WAIT to see the light in his eyes finally vanish!…”

Peach: “The fair lady… I’m shocked to see that she even tied the knot with the hero… the princess appears to have a lot on her mind lately… Ma’Cherie mentioned something about preparations for coronation. It appears the dear princess will soon be queen! How DIVERTING!! Her plate must be filled to the brim like patrons at an all-you-can-eat buffet! Why… it almost makes me feel bad that her daughter will be in my clutches… almost. Ah ha ha ha ha… in the end, payback is best served ice cold.”

Luigi: “The man in green… how I do weirdly miss him. Being in the castle for a while has certainly let me observe him when he visits in a more… confidential matter. Perhaps… yes… perhaps I can bring back THAT side of him… that does bring a smile to my face~ aha… ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha~….”

Bowser: “… I haven’t seen much of flailing arms since I’ve been here. Ma’Cherie mentioned some morsels of information about being ‘busy with the kids’… besides that, he seems pretty much the same. Perhaps I should sneak out of the castle and look into the creature more… I mustn’t act too hastily, the risk of getting caught before the true show’s premiere is too great… the world is filled with prying eyes, like eager reporters at the scene of the crime!”

Flame & Aqua: “Ma’Cherie talks about her prince friends often, and why, I have never heard of such kingdoms or princes before. How extensive this world seems to be! Sadly, both of them are nincompoops in their own ways… from the orange one squawking like a baby bird desperate for food… to the blue one talking nineteen to the dozen about himself!! Even so, a jester such as myself must keep them on my radar…”

Larissa: “This… ‘Larissa’ character that Ma’Cherie sometimes plays with… she’s not from this world, I can JUST sense it. She’s VERY enthralling, that girl, to be able to wield a power that allows transformation with a press of a button… As a master of masks… this ‘Larissa’ girl and this ‘Jump’ hero… aha ha ha ha ha… oh, what a… repugnant proposal I have for them…”

~Voice Claims~

Dimentio’s voice claims are Sampo Koski from Honkai: Star Rail for JP. For EN it’s this one song cover because I physically think it’s PERFECT for Dimentio it’s too good. Banger.

That’s it for Dimentio’s dedicated intro. (Finally I’m caught up with my other socials ahaha😭)

Merlin Episode Rant--His Father's Son

Wow. Wow wow wow. This show istg.

His Father’s Son is perhaps one of the most cohesive, easily understood episodes of the show. It's complex, it's interesting, but it lacks one thing that they always lack: Character continuity and just in general having a strong grip on their character relationships. Meaning, Arthur’s decisions, and his character literally contradict each other in this episode. He normally (character) is brave, has conviction, and above all else, loves really hard. Like really hard. Think of the formative stages of Arthur/Gwen! He literally tries to relinquish his kingship for Gwen. I actually really like that moment on its own, if the rest of the relationship didn’t have useless roadblocks or if Gwen actually still was a good character in 4 and 5. Instead, in this episode, he bends like a pipe cleaner to whatever Agravaine is saying, disregards Merlin’s counsel (which, believe it or not, he actually does listen to normally and frequently seeks out), but most importantly, he literally breaks up with Gwen. 

Now, if you’ve been following me for a bit, you’d know that I’m not the biggest fan of the Arthur/Gwen relationship mainly because it doesn’t really change either of them as characters in a good way (The show-runners remove Gwen’s personality for some reason and Arthur stays the same). But, I think this should have been a breaking point moment. Why, oh my god why, does he break up with Gwen? 

Agravaine so easily convinces him to go and cut things off with her, even after the show blares at us that they are “so in love” and that they “are each other’s forevers” but then they have him just go and break up with her because Agravaine thinks so? And not even that---because its not appropriate????????? mmEXCUSE ME???

AND THEN

He seems to believe it. This, for me, shows two things:

The writers have no idea what they’re doing with these characters

If the writers truly understand this decision, then they’re basically telling viewers that Arthur and Gwen’s relationship is so fragile that he would break up with her if his random uncle told him to. Like what the hell.

Also, I want to address what is going on between Arthur and Merlin this episode. I actually think its the most nuanced their relationship has been for a bit in this season. They are not seeing eye to eye on something, and Arthur is pushing him away, but we constantly see that Arthur comes back to Merlin, for everything, after everything, because he needs him. And this is really beautiful. I think Arthur should have made a pinnacle decision in this episode, for both of his relationships.

Here’s how I would fix it

For Arthur and Gwen moment: When Agravaine tells Arthur that his relationship with her is inappropriate, this should have been a wake up call for Arthur. If he truly loves her that much, if he needs her that much, then this relationship should be much stronger than counsel from his pushy uncle. AND, this would actually move the plot forward, as well as strengthen Arthur and Gwen’s relationship. We could have a regroup moment with Arthur and Merlin, where he realizes how much he needs Merlin (maybe not to a full extent to keep up with the pace of the show), as well as his friends and their advice. So, Arthur would decline Agravaine, he would start trusting him less, and this could still progress to that final scene with the fight and Arthur showing mercy and there would be a LOT MORE CONTINUITY in arthur’s character! 

I actually like the idea of Arthur killing the king of Caerleon mainly because it forces his character to go through something difficult like getting it wrong. Plus, it makes sense for him to bend to Agravaine in this situation since he’s genuinely new to making these sorts of decisions.

Also I’m such an advocate for apologies on tv. It seems like on Merlin especially, they really milk the idea of Merlin getting no credit or gratitude, but in this situation, there is nothing to do with his magic or anything. SO, Arthur should have sort-of (in his way) apologized for not trusting Merlin with the Caerleon thing (at least in that scene where Merlin has just gotten all the knights to come and tell him life-affirming things, I think it would have been nice if Arthur had just given some sort of indication that he recognizes that Merlin did tell him, and was trying to help)

Anyway, this is in my top ten Merlin episodes, in terms of it having some sort of weight and making sense on its own, but also, it has so many problems. Plus, there isn’t any real continiuity in Arthur’s character after, and he doesn’t really change at all. 

Also, at the end of the episode, when Arthur and Gwen have that romantic moment, I just feel awkward because it would feel cute and romantic if Arthur hadn’t just easily broken up with her because someone told him to. Like I get that he told Merlin to give her his ring, and that he’s sorry, but like, you did it so easily?? Why wouldn’t you do it again?

This show dude.

Meeting A Magical Man Pt. 4

Part 1: Link Prev: Link Next: Link

----------

Marvin liked to use magic for most everyday tasks and more, but when it came to his tea, he was old-school with it. It never tasted right if he used magic with it. The only time his magic and tea would connect was at the end of the experience when the tea was gone and drank up, leaving behind some leaves on the bottom. As a magic user, he could read them much differently than non-ones trying it. It was always fun to see what he could get from new people. Sometimes he can line it up so that his tea leaves connect with the other person’s, a little peek at how said person would affect Marvin. He’s thrown out men several times before because his leaves did not show anything good about keeping them around. 

“Honey?”

“What’s up?” Chase perked up in his seat and got Marvin to laugh a bit. 

“I was asking if you wanted honey in your tea.” Marvin held up the little container. 

“O-Oh yeah-I-uh-yes, please.” Chase’s face was pink, and he picked at his fingers. 

He was adorable. 

“I guess I am fairly heavy-handed on my pet names.” Marvin giggled, stirring the honey into Chase’s tea. “Not shocking that you got a little mixed up.” 

“Yep, that’s-that’s what caused it.” Chase cleared his throat.

“Now, this is still pretty hot, so be careful. I’m supposed to be helping you, not burning you.” Marvin placed a teacup in front of Chase on the kitchen table. “Unless you ask me to, of course.” He added with a wink before sitting in the chair across from him. Marvin could tell Chase was about to ask what he meant before it clicked, and the pink on his face turned red. 

Again, so adorable.

“So, while we’re waiting for your clothes to dry, I’m going to get a better look at your aura,” Marvin said. “First thing first, are you comfortable right now? I know you’re just in a pair of my spare pants, but you need to be at an even level for this to be as accurate as possible.” He took a little sip of his tea. 

Marvin himself was dressed in a pair of black stretchy pants. They were soft, comfortable, and easy to move around in, plus they made his ass look perfect. He also wore a simple purple crop top, but the slits on the side and down his chest had the top barely covering his torso, but it was his favorite, so he wore it around the house a lot. 

“I’m comfy. They’re actually a little big. I wasn’t expecting that.” Chase chuckled, unaware that ‘Marvin’s spare pants’ were his ex’s pants he had left behind, which is why they fit the way they did. Marvin wasn’t about to tell Chase that, though. 

“I thrive on being a good host.” Marvin hummed and took another sip. He watched Chase finally pick up his cup and sniff it. 

Just like a puppy with something new. 

“Earthy.” Chase smiled when he noticed Marvin watching him, and he took a sip, letting out a hum of his own. “That’s pretty good.” 

“It’s because I made it. Make sure you drink it all up. I’ll need it empty to help me with this job.” 

“Okay.” Chase’s smile only grew, tilting his head in curiosity, but just going with it and having another sip. 

“You shouldn’t feel anything since I’m just reading you, but if you feel tingling, just ignore it. This won’t cause any harm.” Marvin softly chuckled when Chase only nodded in understanding this time and continued working on his tea. Chase liked tea a lot more than he ever thought he would. “Just breathe and relax,” Marvin said, waiting for the final nod before taking in a deep breath of his own, closing his eyes, and when he reopened them, they went from their usual blue to a bright green, glowing and casting a bit of a hue on his white mask. 

Chase couldn’t see what Marvin could, only waiting as Marvin’s eyes focused on him. It was strange…being studied like this. He’s heard of auras before but didn’t know anything about it. There was a good chance that whatever he thought he knew was wrong. He was nowhere near the world of magic users, having discovered them only a few years ago because of frantic, delusional-induced research in hopes of reversing something that could not be done. Well…technically, it could, but he wouldn’t be able to, and too much time had passed for it to happen if he had found someone who could. 

“Interesting.” Marvin finally spoke, eyes returning to their natural state. “I should easily be able to work with that.” 

“That’s good?” 

“Very. Sadly, most of the ingredients I’d need to make the potion in mind I don’t have, so it’ll be some time before it’s made, but we have a start.” Marvin took a lot of pride in his work, a little puff to his chest as he spoke about it. “What I have might be able to help a little, it won’t make you sleep, but you’d be able to relax. Better than nothing while you wait.” 

“Sounds perfect. Thank you, Marvin. I know you’re going out of your way for this cause of Henrik, but it’s still really nice of you to help me.” Chase’s smile was so soft and tender. Marvin felt that same warmth in his chest that he got the first time they had kissed. Apparently, he was really into the whole…whatever Chase had going for him. Probably a kink of some sort but nothing more. He didn’t really do the whole ‘feelings’ thing. When he had tried, it always screwed him over, and he was done with it. 

“Don’t get too sappy on me, or I’ll be making us have to take another shower~” Marvin playfully purred, seeing Chase was done with his tea and was blushing again. He would end up permanently like this if he kept this up. “You can get your clothes now. They should be all dried and ready.” He reached over and took Chase’s cup. 

“You sure you don’t mind me moving around your place?” Chase asked as he got up from the table. 

“If I didn’t, I would have tied you down by now. But that’s something we can try on a different night.” Marvin winked and worked on drinking his tea, wanting to finish it before Chase returned. 

“I-uh-we-uh-’kay.” Chase just fumbled out some gibberish and headed off. Marvin chuckled and quickly finished the rest of his tea.

“Alright, let’s see what we have going here,” Marvin spoke to himself and stood, setting the two cups next to each other. 

He studied the collection of tea leaves that rested on the bottom of them. Looking at their placements, the shapes they took, and how they matched or didn’t match the other. 

Oh, no.

Oh, no, no, no.

No.

Marvin felt his throat tighten and flipped the cups over, pressing his hands against the tops and leaning over. Maybe if he messed up the leaves and ruined their patterns, it wouldn’t be true. It wasn’t allowed to be true. That can’t happen. It can’t. 

“Marvin?” Chase’s voice pulled Marvin’s thought back to the present. He needed to get the energy back to where it should be, get back on the level that he was safe and comfortable at. 

“Checking out my ass~” Marvin’s giggle sounded forced, but he knew Chase wouldn’t notice as he wiggled his hips. The sputtering Chase let out told him it had easily worked. “Can’t blame you. These pants are great at their job.” 

“No-I mean-I wasn’t-but like-maybe-maybe a little and-uh-sorry.” Chase rubbed his blushing face. 

“Get everything okay?” Marvin asked, seeing that Chase was now fully dressed.

“Y-Yeah. I should-I should head out. I need to get ready for work.” Chase awkwardly rubbed his neck. 

“I’ll see you at Henrik’s tonight,” Marvin said. 

“I’ll see ya.” Chase shot finger guns as he gathered his keys, phone, and wallet and left the house. 

As soon as Chase was gone, Marvin sighed and went over to some flowers, looking at the planted rose Chase had given him. He gently ran a hand over the rose’s petals and muttered to himself.

“The leaves can be wrong, and they are.”

Diabolik Lovers LOST EDEN ー Laito Maniac [Epilogue]

CHAPTER MASTERLIST

ー The scene starts in the guest room of the Sakamaki Castle

Laito: ( ...Aah, god...I can’t come up with anything. )

( I have to think of a way to fix this by myself... )

( To do thatーー )

I guess I have no other choice...but to learn to control these powers, huh? 

ー The scene shifts to the living room

Reiji: ーー Hm?

Laito: ...

Reiji: Oh, Laito, it’s you. What’s the matter? Is there anything you need from mーー

Laito: I have a question for you. 

Reiji: ...

Laito: ーー I want to learn a way...to stabilize these powers of mine. Tell me. 

You surely know something, don’t you?

Reiji: ...And what will you do with that information? 

Laito: I am...going to take her away from Kino and back home with me.

Reiji: You are trying to come up with a way to fix this by yourself, aren’t you?

Laito: ...

Reiji: ーー This is only my personal opinion on the matter. ...But I believe you should first work towards finding your own peace of mind. 

Laito: Peace of mind? What do you mean...? How is that related to keeping my powers in check? 

Reiji: First of all, you will need to do something about your irritation. Magic is closely linked to its user’s spirit after all. 

Therefore, I believe that you must first learn to accept your own powers and see them in a positive light.

Laito: ...As if I could ever do that? I inherited these powers against my will because I had no other choice.

Reiji: Then how about you simply suck it up and rely on your brothers if you have zero motivation to change yourself anyway?

Laito: ...!

Reiji: You are trying to find a way to stabilize your powers because you do not want to do that.

However, if you keep saying ‘no’ to everything, then I have nothing to tell you.

Laito: ...

Reiji: Well, I can understand why you feel conflicted in regards to Father...

But if you keep on persistently fussing over that and denying those powers no matter what, thenーー 

Then I believe that only confirms your Father complex.

It all depends on how you look at it, no? 

Laito: ...

Reiji: Am I wrong? 

Laito: Well...

ー Ayato bursts into the room

*THUD*

Ayato: ーー Oi, Reiji! Are you here!? 

Reiji: Ayato? What is the fuss about?

Ayato: Nah, you seeーー Woah, Laito...You’re here as well? 

Laito: Is that bad...?

Ayato: I don’t mind, really...Anyway, Reiji, a Familiar arrived from Eden just now. 

The Adlers’ troops are headin’ over there. Isn’t that bad? 

Reiji: Good grief. I suppose the real trouble has finally started. 

Laito: ...Why Eden? They should just come straight at me...

Reiji: Well, not only is Eden a very symbolic location within the Demon World, it is also regarded to be the Vampire Clan’s spiritual safe haven. 

In their pursuit for sovereignty over the Demon World, the Adler Clan must be of the assumption that if they successfully tear down that place, it will automatically mean our downfall. 

ーー I believe that for now, they believe that they can always get their hands on your powers after achieving said goal.

Laito: ...In short, they’ll come for me eventually? 

Reiji: You are the next Supreme Overlord. You possess our Father’s powers after all. 

Laito: Haah...What a pain...I can’t believe I have to deal with these Demon geezers...

Reiji: ーー Then, I would definitely like you to put some serious thought into your future actions. 

Laito: Eh? 

Reiji: If you leave this situation be, those aiming to take your powers will appear in rapid succession. 

This is an issue which comes before saving her. 

If you find that a pain to deal with, then I believe you have no other choice but to take initiative yourself and show them just how overwhelming your powers truly are.

Ayato: ...Well, he might have a point there. They’re pullin’ all of this shit ‘cause they don’t take you seriously. 

Laito: ーー So you’re telling me that’s exactly why I should come to peace with my own emotions, accept the situation...and learn to wield my powers correctly...?

Reiji: If you properly show them what you are capable of once, I doubt they will ever come after you again. 

That is how Father gained control over the Demon World as well. 

Laito: ...

Monologue

Like this,

I might as well have a complex towards that guy,

for eternityーー 

Those words Reiji-san spoke to me,

caught me by surprise. 

Always denying everything which had to do with him,

was my way to rebelling against that guy,

but ultimately, by doing so,

all I ever accomplished by doing that,

was validate the grasp he holds on me even further.

When I think of it like that,

my refusal to accept help from my brothers,

was not much different.

The more I denied them,

the more of a pitiful and pathetic man I became. 

I believe I’d much rather limit that sort of humiliation,

to the bedroomーー 

Laito: Okay.

Ayato: ...?

Laito: ーー I’ll accept these powers.

But before that, I have to go steal her back. 

Because I just know that I need her...to move towards the future. 

Reiji: ...Off you go then. Your first stop would be Rotigenberg. 

Laito: Is that where Kino-kun and the others are? 

Ayato: ...

Laito: ...Hey, Ayato-kun. 

Ayato: What?

Laito: I can’t learn to control my powers overnight. So I’d like you to come with me. Is that too much to ask? 

Ayato: ...

Laito: ...Ayato-kun? 

Ayato: ...Let’s hit the road then! It’d be a pain if Eden gets taken over by those stupid Eagles!

ー Ayato walks ahead

Laito: ...Nfu~ Thank you...

Reiji: I shall come with you as well thenーー We do not have a single second to waste after all. 

Laito: ...Honestly, you guys don’t know when to mind your own business.

( I see. I guess this it what it means to change one’s outlook... )

( It’s almost hard to believe I felt so conflicted up until now... )

( I guess I really stuck to my silly beliefs for too long... )

ー The scene shifts to the forest

Laito: ーー Anyway...How come you’re all here with me? 

Kanato: ...I’m your older brother after all. 

Subaru: I mean, if we leave you to your own devices, the anxiety will drive me crazy, I won’t be able to chill in my coffin. 

Shuu: Pwaah...Let’s get this over with so I can rest in peace...

Laito: ...Nfu~ I don’t understand at all.

Reiji: Well, I suppose that is fine? Having more people on your side will only play in your advantage, no?

Laito: ...Hmー Is that how it works? 

Ayato: Hell yeah!

Laito: I guess it can’t be helped then...You guys must really love me a lot!

Subaru: Hah? What did you say just now?

Laito: Once again, that all of you must truly love me. 

Kanato: When did we ever allude to such a thing...?

Shuu: Please don’t spout such disgusting nonsense...

Laito: Nfu~ No need to be ashamed about it~?

Ayato: Hold up. I’m not included in that pool, am I?

Laito: Eh? Of course you are?

Ayato: Haah!? Fuck off! I don’t like you or anything!

Laito: Nfufu~ No point in trying to deny it, you know?

ー The scene shifts to Kino’s manor at Rotigenberg

Yui: K-Kino-kun...? What has gotten into you...all of a sudden?

Kino: ーー Listen...About what I asked you the other day. Have you changed your mind yet?

Yui: The other day...?

Kino: Don’t play dumb. About working together with me. ーーDon’t you feel anything after witnessing the Ghouls’ lifestyle from up close? 

Yui: Ugh...

Kino: Hehe...Well, you’re a good person at heart, so I was convinced you’d be moved by it. 

Yui: I believe I told you before, but I can’t work with youーー 

Kino: Oh come, there you go saying that again. Doesn’t it make your heart ache? Painfully so? 

Yui: ...I mean, I do feel bad for them, of course...? But...I can’t help you out in any way.

Kino: You don’t mind if the Ghouls are stuck like this forever? 

Yui: Wellーー Then, how about this?

I’ll have Laito-kun help liberate the Ghouls. In that case, you don’t have to go out of your way toーー 

Kino: So I have to once again put faith in the guy who broke our promise because he ‘got tired of it’, despite knowing very well about the problem at hand? 

Yui: ...

Kino: Besides, he’s a Demon himself. Our enemy...

Demons believe that Ghouls are meant to be oppressed and only think it’s normal for them to be discriminated against and treated unfairly, you see? 

Yui: ( ...I mean, it’s true Laito-kun shared that opinion too... )

But, you have to try talking to them firstーー

Kino: We’ve already tried that plenty of times. However, nothing has changed. If anything, they’ve only tightened their control over us. 

After all, it’d be bad for them if the Ghouls were to completely disappear. 

Because then they’d no longer have anyone to do the dirty work for themーー

Yui: ...

Kino: So I can’t believe Demons. And amongst them, Laito would probably be last on my list to trust.

I did at first. But you remember how that ended, don’t you? 

Yui: Kino-kun...

Kino: That’s why I’ll steal his powers from him after all. For the sake of the Ghouls. 

Yui: ーー Why?

Kino: ...?

Yui: How can you try so hard?

You’re a Demon as well, aren’t you? 

Kino: ...I’m the same as you.

Yui: Eh?

Kino: The experience of living alongside them also changed your mindset, no? 

As you realized that it doesn’t matter whether someone is human or Demon. 

Yui: In other words, you were moved by the situation...? 

Kino: Honestly, I’d like to ask you to opposite. Can you truly do nothing after being personally confronted with this inhumanity? 

Yui: ...

Kino: Any normal person would want to do whatever they can to help, no?

Yui: Once again, Iーー

Kino: According to what I heard, your blood is special...correct?

That’s why Laito and the other Vampires are so crazy about you.

Like I mentioned the other day, you can make that guy do anything for you. If you use that blood and body of yoursーー

*Thud* 

*RIIIIIP*

Yui: ...!! What are you doing...!? 

Kino: Hehehe...What do you mean? Having a little taste. Let me confirm just how delicious that blood of yours is. 

*Rustle rustle*

Yui: ーー Sto...!!

ー Kino bites her

Kino: ーー Nn! Nn...Kuh...

Yui: ...!!

ー Yui pushes him away

*Thud* 

Kino: ...Woah...! How could you. No need to be so harsh to me now, is there?

Yui: How could you, out of nowhere...This is justーー

Kino: Hehe...My bad? But...I understand now why they’re so crazy about you.

Your blood is the very best...

Yui: Uu...

Kino: After one sip, I find myself wanting more and more...Just like with guava juice. 

I think I understand now why they listen to yーー

Yuuri: Kino!

Kino: ...What’s the matter, Yuuri? I’m kind of busy right now, you see. 

Yuuri: It’s urgent. Please hear me outーー 

ー Yuuri whispers in his ear

*Rustle*

Yui: ( ...I wonder what happened? )

Kino: ーー I see...

Yuuri: What will you do? 

Kino: What do you mean? ...It’s going just according to keikaku. (1)

Yui: ...

Kino: I’m sure you’ll be happy to hear this news. Surprise! The whole family of blood-thirsty Vampires are here to come get you. 

Yui: Everyone!? 

Kino: Hehe...Aren’t you glad? 

ー The scene shifts to the forest

Shuu: Still, who would have thought they’d be at Rotigenberg of all placesーー 

It’d be my first time going there.

Kanato: Mine as well. 

Ayato: Likewise. 

Reiji: Well, I would assume so. For a Demon to willingly set foot in that place, they’d have to be quite the peculiar fellow.

Ayato: To be honest, it’s true that I’d rather not go there if it weren’t for the current situation. 

Laito: It’s the Land of the Unwanted after all. 

Subaru: ーー Actually, won’t we get infected by the bad air? Can we really just go there unprotected? 

Reiji: Good grief. You still believe in such superstition?

Subaru: Ah? Superstition?

Laito: Nfu~ Exactly, Subaru-kun. The air isn’t contagious. 

Subaru: Eh? Really? 

Reiji: Exactly. Why are you - the youngest out of the bunch - saying such a thing?

Of course, there are still some elderly folks who believe it to be the case. 

Kanato: But gramps said the same thing. If you get too close to those Ghouls, you will get infected by them and be turned into a Ghoul yourself. 

Ayato: I’ve heard the exact same thing.

Shuu: Haah, I guess those rumors still go around like wildfire.

Reiji: Even though it was none other than Father who showed the Demon World that the bad air is not contagious. 

Laito: Eh!? That’s new information to meーー

Reiji: Father conducted extensive research on Rotigenberg prior to his passing. 

Therefore, you must not let yourself be fooled by such false rumors.

Laito: That man? What kind of research did he do? 

Reiji: I do not know precisely either. However, there should be a large amount of research documents on the subject remaining at the Pharmaceutical Department in Eden. 

Shuu: Well, I’m sure it was part of one of his strange hobbies as per usual...

Laito: Or alternatively, it might have been related to his illegitimate child in some way?

Ayato: Now that you mention it, that Kino dude...

Kanato: But hold on. That guy is a Vampire, isn’t he?

For a Vampire to be born on Ghoul territory, does that mean that there are female Vampires living there? 

Ayato: I mean, there must be. Kino can’t exist without a mom in the picture after all. 

Laito: ーー Or rather, Kanato-kun, I’m surprised you know where babies come from...

Kanato: Excuse me? I’m your older brother, so of course I know that much. 

Laito: ...

Kanato: What?

Shuu: ーー Oi, you guys. We’re almost there.

Subaru: ...Anyway, doesn’t it kind of...smell strange ‘round here...?

Ayato: !! Now that you mention it...It stinks...!

Reiji: That’s the scent of Rotigenberg. The land itself has been polluted by the bad air, which gives off a very peculiar scent. 

I suppose you could think of it as some kind of gas.

Laito: ーー I can see it. So that’s Rotigenberg, huh...?

Ayato: Well then...Let’s go take Chichinashi back!

Laito: ( Bitch-chan, I’ll be right there... )

( I have a lot to say to you. I’ll take my time to tell you one by oneーー )

( But before that, I have to apologize first. For failing to save you because my mind was preoccupied by a lot of nonsense. )

( As a result, you were left all by yourself...and I took way too long to rescue you. )

( So I’ll hug you tight and kiss you... )

( I want to shower every nook and cranny of your body with my love. )

*TIMESKIP*

ー The scene shifts to the open field of Rotigenberg

Laito: ーー Bitch-chan...

Kino: So you’ve finally arrived. 

Yui: Laito-kun...!!

( ...He finally came for me... )

Laito: ーー Sorry for the wait. 

Yui: Yeah...!

Ayato: Anyway, before that...We gotta give that guy a good beatin’. 

Kino: Eh? Me?

Subaru: Duh! Don’t play dumb!

Kino: Cut me some slack. I mean, I’d rather not have to face Laito who inherited Karlheinz’ powers as well as all of my other brothers at once. 

Laito: Nfu~? What do you mean?

Kino: I’m letting her go and giving her back to you guys! ーー Come on, off you go!

Yui: Eh? ...Y-You sure?

Kino: Yeah. I don’t want to fight right here.

Yui: Ah...

Ghoul Man A: ...

Ghoul Woman A: ...

Ghoul Boy A: ...

Yui: ( ...The Ghouls are watching us from the shadows... )

( They look very stern as well...I’m sure they’re worried that something will happen to the one place they can call home. )

Subaru: ーー You say that now...But I bet you’re hopin’ we’ll let down our guard so you can turn the tables on us, aren’t you? But that won’t work!? 

Yui: ...!! S-Subaru-kun!! Let’s just go already!!

ー Yui runs up ahead

Laito: Bitch-chan? 

Yui: It’s fine. Don’t worry. ...Come on, he let me return, see?

Laito: ...?

Yui: ( If a fight breaks out here, it’ll only cause trouble for the Ghouls... )

Ghoul Girl A: ーー Miss!!

Yui: Eh!?

*Rustle*

Yui: ( This girl...She’s the one who gave me flowers the other dayーー )

Ghoul Girl A: ...

Laito: ...That girl’s really glaring at me for some reason...

Yui: Um, this girlーー

Ghoul Girl A: This lady...is very important to Kino-sama...!

Laito: ...Eh!? 

Yui: ...Come on, be good now. Go back to your mother, okay? I’m just fine?

Ghoul Girl A: Really? 

Yui: Yeah...!

Ghoul Girl A: ーー Okay...

ー The young Ghoul leaves again

Laito: ...Are you done here? 

Yui: Yeah, it’s fine now. Let’s head back home?

Laito: ...You seem kind of in a rush? 

Yui: Eh? I’m not?

( Rather than in a rush, it makes my heart ache...I meanーー )

( The Ghouls aren’t allowed to leave this area. )

Laito: ーー Let’s head back to Eden then. 

Yui: Eh? Eden?

Ayato: Well, we’ll explain everything to you on the way there.

Yui: Okay, gotcha...

Laito: You sound a bit upset? 

Yui: You think so? I think you’re just imagining it...

( I guess he caught on to it after all. ...Butーー )

ー The scene shifts back to Kino

Ghoul Girl A: ...Kino-sama, did I do well? 

Kino: ...Yeah. Perfect. Here you go...The Konpeito (2) I promised. 

*Rustle* 

Ghoul Girl A: Thank you very much!!

Kino: I guess now we can just wait and let time do its thing.

Yuuri: We had one of our spies infiltrate their Familiars. 

Kino: Yeah. Thanks!

( ...Well then, I wonder what she’ll do next? I can’t wait. )

( Either way, cracks will start showing in their bond. That’s where I’ll find an opening to strikeーー )

Honestly...I’m glad girls like her are so easy to figure out. Hehe. 

ーー TO BE CONTINUED ーー

Summary: Trucy takes Pearl on her first ever clothes shopping adventure in preparation for Pearl to enter the police academy and become a detective. Back at home, the two of them start to talk about their relationship, and Trucy accidentally reveals a secret about Pearl that even Pearl didn't understand.

-

August 15, 2028– 12:35 pm

Despite Pearl having finished high school right around the time everyone had gotten back from Khura'in, Trucy hadn't seen as much of her as she wanted to. She'd been busy. Helping Maya getting things together in Kurain village, and getting ready for her own big change.

Trucy had missed her…but it wasn’t as if she herself wasn’t busy. The fallout of the Gramaryeland show, her new assistants, and the constant stress of running the Wright Anything Agency and working through her own school work…she’d not gotten the chance to reach out for longer than she would have liked.

But that changed today. She’d managed to get a little time, and she’d managed to invite Pearl out on an afternoon about town. 

They'd started with lunch in a little cafe at the corner of the shopping district that Phoenix had dropped them off at. Pearl was finishing up her boba, fishing around in the bottom of the cup for tapioca pearls, and looking a little lost in thought.

Trucy leaned on her hand with a little grin as she stirred what remained of her own with the thick straw. “Penny for your thoughts? Heck, I’d even give a dime.” 

Pearl laughed. "So generous! It's just my first time going clothes shopping, you know?"

“I know!” Trucy took a sip of her boba with a slight frown. “there weren’t exactly malls in your village…and there was kinda a uniform…but it’s pretty exciting right? Getting to go out and buy your own stuff?” 

"It is exciting!" she smiled, playing with the straw of her drink. "Kind of nerve wracking, too. I've never picked my own clothes before. I think I'd probably just default to my robes– but they're super not appropriate attire for police training."

Police training. Police academy. Trucy had known it was coming. Trucy had been the first one that Pearl had ever told. She would have killed to have been a fly on the wall when she told Maya. Not that she didn't know Maya would be supportive, but– the surprise!

Like a magic trick.

“Probably not! If nothing else I think they’d get dirty easy, and they’re not exactly made for like…skulking through crime scenes.” She tapped her finger against her chin. “but that leaves you having to figure out from like…step 0.” 

"Super step zero," she nodded. "I asked Big sis Iris and Mr. Armando for some tips, but I'm still glad I have you here to help me, Trucy. Oh! Speaking of which, since Iris is busy tonight, your dad doesn't mind me staying over, right?"

Trucy grinned widely. 

“Oh hooo, Miss Iris is busy tonight huh?” She leaned on her hand with a wink “if there’s good gossip, you gotta tell me….but of course daddy won’t mind! He likes you, and anyway, I’d insist! It’s been too long since we had a sleepover, Pearl!”

"It super has been," she giggled. "There's not any really good gossip– they just have Miss Lana over again, since she got out last month."

“Oh yeah! Everyone got real excited about that…” Trucy bobbed her head. The former chief prosecutor was someone she’d only met once or twice through her father…but from the way he, and especially Miss Ema, spoke about her it was clear she was someone important to a lot of them.

She’d finally gone free a month ago, and had been spending a lot of time hanging about the old guard around the various offices– and especially with Iris and Diego.

“They’re pretty close aren’t they? The three of them. She’s been visiting you guys a bunch!” 

"She has! She's pretty restrained as a person, but she got a little excited when I told her I was going to be going into the police academy."

"Yeah? I’m not surprised. Daddy told me she used to be like…a superstar detective turned prosecutor. She’s one of the reasons Investigator Ema is Like That.” She grinned at Pearl excitedly. “So she probably got excited to hear someone bright and cool like you wanted to join the force too! Admittedly it IS super exciting. Officer or Detective Pearl Fey has a ring to it!” 

"Awwww…. Trucy," Pearl covered her face as she blushed. "You're too nice to me! Um, hey can I ask you a favor, by the way?"

“Of course I am, Pearl! You’re one of my favorite people you know.” She leaned on her hand with a grin. “anything, what can magical girl Trucy do for you?” 

Pearl leaned on her hands, and smiled, but there was a sad, worried look in the shadows of her eyes. "You'll make sure I don't do anything weird, or embarrassing while we're shopping, right? I really, really don't want people to know I've never been shopping for myself…"

Trucy leaned forward and placed both hands on her shoulders, grinning warmly from ear to ear.

“Of course…it’ll be our secret , yeah?” She winked at her playfully “like a magic trick, nobody’ll be any the wiser.” 

August 15, 2028– 7:30 pmTrucy’s dad had of course let Pearl spend the night, especially when Trucy had begged him with her best puppy-dog eyed look, so when they got back to the Wright family home, they wasted no time in dropping the various bags and boxes all around Trucy’s eclectically decorated bedroom.

The shopping trip had been fun, very fun…and just like she’d promised Pearl, she made sure that nobody was any the wiser that it was Pearly’s first time hitting the stores in the LA malls and outlets.

The two of them had hit nearly every store (and Trucy couldn’t stop herself from picking up a new outfit or two herself), until Pearl was set with a whole new wardrobe for her first day in the police academy. But Trucy had to admit, the longer they shopped the more surprised she was by Pearly’s taste in clothes.

Not bad-surprised of course, she honestly found it pretty cool, and had to admit Pearl looked pretty great in it when she’d come out of the changing rooms to try them on. But it was still one heck of a surprise when the cutesy, traditionally dressed girl from Kurain Village went almost exclusively for outfits that Trucy would describe as ‘pretty damn butch’.

With how flustered Pearl had gotten when she pointed it out she had had to reassure her that she wasn’t ‘doing anything weird’ , or anything like that. It was just surprising— and, she had teasingly added, pretty dashing. 

Pearl–once more in her usual uniform after they'd finished shopping– flopped down on the end of Trucy's bed. "Wow. Nobody told me that shopping made you tired," she joked.

“It’s the mall,” Trucy joked. “It takes your energy like a big vampire as payment for the good times you have there.”

She took off her silk hat and placed it on its mannequin head, before she picked up a bag to set it aside and flopped down on the bed too. “Oough. It’s all the running around…and difficult choices!” 

Pearl flopped her head down on Trucy's shoulder. "So many difficult choices! Even with all the stuff I got there was still stuff to put back. … you don't think I got too much do you? It was probably too much."

“It’s a whole new wardrobe Pearl.” Trucy flopped onto her stomach as her bangs fell into her face. “Honestly I don’t know if you got enough”

Pearl chewed on her thumb thoughtfully and glanced between Trucy and the bags. "Maybe…. I did at least remember to get underwear…. and socks…. and new pajamas… Thanks for reminding me about those.."

Trucy leaned on her hand with a chuckle, waving one of the bags towards her. 

‘Well yeah! I’m kinda surprised you didn’t realize you needed them! But I know things were uh…different…in Kurain.” 

"It's going to be a big adjustment," Pearl said, still chewing on her thumb. "Sleeping in a dorm and everything. Aside from with you or Maya I'm used to being alone in my room at night."

Trucy nodded, watching Pearl with a bright and affectionate smile. “yeah? I’m not surprised…are you nervous about it? Maybe you’ll get a real nice roommate.” 

"I hope so! Did you know Vera Misham is going into the academy, too? we might end up rooming together."

Athena’s eyes widened

“Vera?? Huh! I had no idea…I mean, she mentioned wanting to get into law and stuff and get out of her house, but I didn’t expect that!” She grinned and scootched a little closer to Pearl “ She’s quiet too, that wouldn’t be too bad of a roomie situation! Fingers crossed! ...do the barracks dorms allow occasional overnight guests?”

"Gosh! I'm not sure! Do you think they wouldn't?" Pearl cocked her head curiously. "I guess if police training is anything like spiritual training they might now."

It was probably silly for Trucy to have asked. It probably didn't even occur to Pearl why they actually might not allow overnight guests.

Trucy giggled.

“I don’t think it’s anything like spirit stuff, actually. But they uhm…well..” She leaned on her hands with a flush. “They…may…object to people who are close ah, spending time very close…in their dorm beds. A-anyway! if they don’t allow it I can always just magic my way in and pull a vanishing act if the drill sergeant or whatever gets wise.” 

"That's because you're a super cool magician," Pearl grinned back at her. She poked her fingers together thoughtfully and seemed to reflect, as Trucy noticed her blushing. "You mean they don't want people being, uh, romantic, in the dorms, right?"

“Yeah…” Trucy nodded with a half smile and a flush of her own “they probably don’t want people getting romantic in the dorms…they probably see it as like , a distraction or something.” 

"Well, I mean that makes sense," she nodded. "It's kind of rude to be romantic in a dorm setting anyway. But it won't matter if we're all girls, right?"

Trucy tapped her chin. 

“if we’re all girls…maybe not? I dunno what the police’s stance on that is!”

She shifted on the bed thoughtfully, before she hugged one of the bags to her chest with a flush. ‘Romantic’. It was that word that brought up what had been on her mind for a while now. It was no secret to anyone that she was fond of Pearl…and the two of them had been practically dating for a long while.

But it was still ‘practically’, as they’d never talked about it despite going out on what could easily be called dates plenty of times. She chewed her lip thoughtfully “I think they could look the other way, probably?” 

Pearl leaned on her shoulder, blushing a little. "Is this your way of saying that you want to come visit me, Trucy?"

“Wellll….” Trucy hummed quietly. “Yeah, actually…it is! I mean, if that’s o-okay, you know?” 

Pearl covered up her face embarrassedly. 

"Well, I mean, of course it is. But– do you mean like, you know…." her voice dropped to a whisper, "romantically?"

Trucy bopped the top of her head with a flustered grin. 

“What if I told you ‘of course’? Can I be honest with you, Pearly? I know we’ve been close for a hell of a while now…” 

Pearl bit her lip and gave her a wide eyed look. "I hope you'd be honest with me, you know?"

“Always,” Trucy said with a flushed grin “but I mean…I’ve liked you for a while now, I’m sure you’ve noticed that, and we’re practically dating…maybe I’ve kinda wanted it to be less practically and more…you know.”

She poked her fingers together with a flustered laugh “romantically? Visits and all?” 

"Gosh. Um… okay, can I be honest, Trucy?" Pearl asked, flushing deeper. She didn't pull away from Trucy at all, so that was a good sign.

Trucy leaned her head against her shoulder with a laugh. “I hope you’d be honest with me too, yeah?” 

"Yeah.. so um," she frowned and bit her lip. "Dating and romance is not really something that gets talked about in Kurain? All I've ever heard about is you know, finding a husband to continue the family line. And usually in the village they do that with a matchmaker. So… being honest, I had no idea if you felt that way about me or not… I don't know how any of that works, especially between girls."

Trucy nodded thoughtfully against her shoulder. 

“Geeze…that makes a lotta sense. Things up there are a little…” Distressingly old fashioned and restrictive, even compared to the US’ cultural baggage of ‘keeping it private’ as her daddy always said about Mr. Edgeworth.

“Different,” she politely finished. “It makes sense you wouldn’t know a whole lot about romance and ah, stuff. I admit, I’m not exactly an expert even if I’ve had a little experience.”

It still took her all the way through the Gramarye-Retinz trial to realize Bonny and Betty had a thing for her….”but it’s like…down to how someone makes you feel, you know?” 

"Yeah? And if you feel it, you just kind of know?" she asked, rubbing her neck nervously.

“I think so, yeah.” Trucy said with a lopsided smile. “Or at the very least have kinda an inkling. At least that’s how it works for me.” 

"And…" Pearl said slowly. "You feel that way about me? Like… not as a funny joke?"

“W-well yeah!” Trucy held her hands up with a flustered smile “it’s not really something I joke about!... well. Much. There was that time I joked about making a good bride for Apollo with his dad, and that time I kept teasing everyone about my panties, but still. Not as a funny joke at all! I really do…it’s the butterfly feeling and everything…and every time we hang out I get really excited. I’ve had a crush on you for like…a long while!” 

"Wow…." Pearl laughed and covered her blushing face. "I wish I'd known sooner, because I've kind of felt that way about you for a while. But, I didn't know what I was supposed to do with that."

Trucy turned pink and bumped her shoulder against her with a laugh, bopping the top of her own head and sticking her tongue out. 

“Geeeze…I guess I spent too long beating around the bush, huh?” She flashed a bright grin at her. “If we both feel the same way, though…maybe we can figure out what to do with it together, huh?” 

"I hope you don't mind me following your lead a bit," Pearl said. "At least for a while. Since all I have to go on is the movies we've watched together. And… I've been told you're not supposed to do everything you see in the movies."

Pearl laughed, but the way she turned pink, Trucy could tell she was really embarrassed about her lack of experience.

Reaching up, Trucy gently rustled Pearl’s hair with a wink 

“True enough, but don’t worry… Magical Girl Trucy’s got this, huh?” she leaned in close with a hum, nuzzling against her shoulder. “You can follow my lead as much as you gotta, that’s absolutely fine!” 

Pearl grinned, and leaned into her in return. "I'm glad! I'm also even more glad I didn't end up doing anything embarrassing today while we were shopping. I wouldn't want to embarrass myself in front of my…. girlfriend?"

She hesitated on the last word, clearly trying it out, and seeing how Trucy would react to it.

Trucy hoped the way her face lit up in a wide grin was what Pearl was hoping for, because she absolutely couldn’t help herself as she looped her arms around her and gave her a squeeze.

“It’d at least have been pretty cute!” Trucy laughed playfully, before she squeezed her again “but you totally didn’t! I’d say my girlfriend did pretty good for her first shopping trip in the city! And came out of it looking real good in that new wardrobe of hers.”

Pearl looked delighted, and put her arms around her in return. "You really think so? I picked the clothes I always liked to see on people and felt, you know, a little jealous about."

Trucy leaned a little closer with a grin

“I do think so, If we’d talked about this a little earlier I probably woulda stolen a kiss in the changing room.” She nodded curiously, though. “that makes sense honestly? That’s how you should clothes shop..look for the things you like and wanna see on yourself instead of other people. It’s how I buy most of the stuff I wear outside my stage outfit, myself. You like kind of a butch style, huh?” 

She chewed on her thumb, thoughtfully. "I guess so? I've always really liked the way like, Mr. Nick, and Mr. Diego and some of the detectives dress, you know? It's really good looking, and everyone takes you seriously and thinks you look handsome and cool."

Pearl's ears blushed hotter as she admitted it, and she grinned awkwardly.

“They do dress really frickin’ great, admittedly,” Trucy nodded with a wide grin “I’ve always loved people in suits.”

She looked Pearl over with a thoughtful “hmmmmmmmm” and a sly grin plastered on her face. “You know…maybe you should try on one of those outfits you bought again, Pearly. Because I’m working off memory here, and I’m pretty sure you looked pretty cool, and real handsome… but I want more evidence for the court record!” 

Pearl laughed, and rubbed her neck. "If you think so, I won't say no! … you really think I look handsome?"

“I mean…” Trucy blew a kiss her way. “if nothing else it gives me another good look. I’m not gonna complain about that….but yeah. I really do…they suit you, Pearly. I was surprised, you know? It wasn’t what I expected your style to be, but it really looks great on you.” 

Pearl gave her another squeeze, and then hopped up off the bed, hurrying over to find one of the bags.

"I'm guessing you can't really picture me out of kimonos, huh?"

Trucy laughed. “admittedly, it’s all I’ve ever seen you in. I got kinda used to it, you know? Kinda like if you never saw me change outta my magician outfit.” 

"Yeah, but your magician's outfit looks good! And at least it stands out, you know? My outfit is the same thing everyone in the village wears." She pulled some of the clothes that she'd bought out of one of the bags, and put them on Trucy's dresser.

She watched curiously, once more looking over the outfit Pearl chose to model as it sat folded on her dresser, and leaned on her hands after rolling to her stomach. “

"I mean, I do love my magician outfit, it’s kind of tailor made to be as cute as possible! But…that makes sense. Daddy said something to that effect a few times. About Miss Maya dressing the same way.” 

"Yeah?" she cocked her head curiously as her hands went to her clothes. She paused. "Oh– should I change somewhere else, or? Um. I don't know the rules now that we're dating…"

Up to now, Pearl had always changed in another room, or with Trucy's back turned. They'd never really discussed it, it was just the habit Pearl at least, was into.

Trucy flushed deeply, and spread her fingers before leaning on her hands again. “I mean…I wouldn’t say no to watching if you weren’t too embarrassed! You don’t need to change in the bathroom or whatever if you don’t wanna.”

Admittedly…she’d had thoughts before and despite the hot flush that burned over her cheeks, or perhaps in concert with it, she was a little curious. 

Pearl bit her lip, and hesitated for a moment. Then she giggled. "Well… if you won't say no– then I'll go ahead and change here. In front of my girlfriend."

Trucy clapped her hands together cheerfully “your girlfriend…is super excited, Pearly~” 

She shrugged out of her robe first, gently placing it on the back of the chair, and then carefully– almost teasingly despite the bright, bright red flush of her face– tugged the ribbon sash free, letting the folds of the kimono fall open.

Trucy got a glimpse of what was underneath, pale golden skin interrupted by her magatama pendant, and a white set of underclothes– including an undershirt– still mostly hidden by the folds of the kimono as it hung open on her.

“Geeze, Pearl…” Trucy whistled softly. “...you’re really attractive, you know that?” She leaned on her hand with a grin. 

Pearl laughed, and covered her face– which ironically gave Trucy another glimpse past the open kimono. "You're nice to say so, Trucy."

Pearl had a flatter chest than Trucy had expected– only a soft rise under her white undershirt, obscured, and perhaps sometimes a little exaggerated by the thick folds of the robes and kimono she usually wore.

Carefully, Pearl started to peel the kimono off of her shoulders, which were left bare except for the narrow strap of her filmy undershirt.

It was a bit of a surprise…Trucy had always expected that the garment and underclothes were intentionally slimming, sort of hiding it–but Pearl really must have been that petit.

She shifted a little against the bed until she was half sit up, crossing her legs under her with an encouraging grin.

Pearl finally fully shrugged out of the kimono fully, and stood barefoot in Trucy's room in only her white undershirt– which stopped just above the rise of her soft belly and bellybutton– and her white panties. She stood embarrassed, with her hands over her face, and wiggled her hips a little bit teasingly.

"Gosh," Pearl chuckled. "I've never been this undressed in front of someone before."

Watching the slightly older girl wiggle her hips in the middle of her room,Trucy felt flushed and a little dizzy as she brushed her hair over her shoulder with a wide grin. 

“I haven’t had someone this undressed in my bedroom either. Changing rooms, sure, but my bedroom…” She winked “You look even better out of the kimono, though. I knew it.” 

"What a thing to say!" Pearl giggled. She turned, and started grabbing the clothes. 

As she did, Trucy got more of a view of Pearl's butt, and her body. Pearl was definitely very cute, and it was nice to see her undressed. But as she looked her over, Trucy couldn't quite help noticing that something seemed just a little… off. 

There was kind of a lot more of a soft bulge in Pearl's white panties than Trucy had expected to see.

Trucy felt her face heat even more, and she let out an involuntary little ‘huh’ despite herself. 

Pearl was in the middle of tugging a pea green silk button down over her arms when she heard Trucy and cocked her head, pausing mid motion.

"Hm?"

Trucy held up her hands with a flustered grin. 

“oh! So-sorry Pearl! I was just uhm, a little surprised? Yeah, just uh…” She shot a fingergun her way with a shaky grin “got a magatama in your panties or are you just happy to see me?”

It wasn’t exactly the smoothest reply she’d ever managed, even taking into account the times she had to roll with improv during a stage show with a particularly rough crowd. 

Pearl's hand went to the magatama around her neck, and she gave Trucy a confused, deer in the headlights look. "Huh?"

Trucy felt like she was putting her foot in her mouth in front of her recently confirmed girlfriend, and felt like her heartrate had spiked worse than it always did when she used her ‘perception’ ability for a little too long.

“Well uh…” she gestured vaguely down between her legs. “y-you know.” 

Pearl, with her shirt half on and hanging open over her undershirt looked down, and blinked.

"Is… there something wrong with my underwear?"

She genuinely sounded like she had no idea what Trucy could be getting at.

Trucy leaned back on her bed with a furrow of her brow as she thought through what she wanted to say.

“No! I mean there’s nothing wrong at all!” She rocked forward again, her hands on her knees with a flustered grin “I just didn’t know you had a… ah…I mean…”

She usually was a little smoother than this. She felt like she might implode at any second. 

Pearl bit her lip and her brow furrowed. She pulled out Trucy's desk chair and sat down for a minute, looking deep in thought.

"Trucy," she said, finally– sounding extremely hesitant. "Um. This… is a weird question."

“Yeah Pearly?” Trucy asked with a flustered murmur, leaning on her hands to prop her chin up. She was sure she looked as red as Apollo’s discarded coat in the office. 

Pearl took a breath. "Is there… something that seems unusual about my body?"

“Not unusual! Just surprising!” Trucy responded quickly. She didn’t want Pearl to think Trucy found anything weird…she didn’t. It just– genuinely was a little surprising. “I just think your uh, bits…are different than mine. Which was a surprise? But not a bad one!” 

"Different than yours," Pearl murmured. She tugged at the buttons on her open shirt. "And that's not something you expected?"

“Not exactly?” Trucy shifted shyly, before she hopped up and put her hands on Pearl’s shoulders with a small grin. “but that’s okay!” 

Pearl leaned into her hands and smiled up at her, nervously. "Um, I'm glad it's okay. That's really genuinely fantastic to hear. I'm kind of trying to figure something out though. You wouldn't expect me to have different stuff in my underwear than you, because…?"

Trucy wasn’t a stranger to the things society didn’t exactly talk about– she’d heard a lot of things, going to school and hanging around the Wunder Bar in LA.. She knew of her father’s relationship with Miles, after all, and also of her father’s relationships with others around her. She knew of Clay and Apollo– she knew fellow performers whose bodies they were born in didn’t match how they felt inside.

She was utterly at a loss for where to start with the Pearl, the sheltered medium from the village that intentionally isolated itself from the world.

“well…I mean…It was just an assumption.” Trucy mused quietly before she stammered out “most girls I know don’t have dicks, so I just hadn’t thought of it. But it’s not what’s in your pants that makes you, you, you know? No matter what anyone says!” 

Pearl blushed even deeper and slapped the desk. "Damn it, mom!! I knew it! I knew there was something up!"

“What.” Trucy said in a quiet squeak of a voice. 

Pearl turned and grabbed Trucy by the shoulders– not roughly, but firmly. "Okay, Trucy. Walk through this with me. You know in Kurain only girls can be spirit channelers, yes? And how men are basically seen as useless?"

“U-uh huh.” Trucy nodded slowly. “Which, just as an aside, is completely fucked up…” 

"Okay, but follow me here," Pearl said with a quiet desperation in her voice. "Let's pretend we're not being nice to people, we're just following the rules, okay? Are you with me, Trucy?"

“I’m with you.” Trucy gave her a firm smile as she snapped herself back to the moment. “I’m with you. Yeah?” 

"Okay. Good. Then, Trucy, please tell me the truth. If we're following the rules– do girls not have… what I've got? Is a person who has that not a girl? Did my mom lie to make me a girl?"

There was a quiet desperation rising in Pearl's voice, a rawness at the base of it, and her eyes had gotten pinpricked.

Trucy’s smile had gone a little rigid as the situation once more evolved in her mind.

 “Justitia’s tits…” she swallowed thickly. “Tyyypically, if we’re following society’s rules. Girls…don’t…tend to have…what you’ve got. I don’t, that’s for sure. I can show you if you want.”

She laughed nervously. She’d heard a thing or two about Pearl’s mother…mostly only her daddy’s furious disdain for the ambitious and cruel woman and what he’d done to Miss Maya and, if she picked up the subtext there, and now here, Pearl. “I uhm…I think she might have. I’m so-sorry.” 

Pearl sagged against Trucy, and leaned her head on her shoulder suddenly. "I knew it. I… of course she lied. Why wouldn't she? All she ever wanted was for me to become the Kurain channeling master. No wonder…."

Trucy’s heart thumped loud in her chest as she moved on impulse to hug Pearl tight, holding her as she sagged.

“I’m sorry, Pearl,” she murmured, as she reached up to brush her hair. 

“I’m really, really sorry. She wanted you to become the master so she lied to …to make you conform to the expectation, ye-yeah? ‘Because only girls are spirit channelers’ and thus can be the masters?” She took a deep breath “cruel…that’s, pardon my language Pearl, completely fucked up.” 

Pearl took a deep breath too, and made a small keening noise as Trucy held her. "Yeah… only girls are spirit channelers. And it sounds like normally, I wouldn't be considered a girl? If my mom wasn't trying to do that?"

Trucy leaned into her, rubbing her back gently as she breathed in and out, maybe to try and guide Pearl into doing the same. 

She wanted to comfort her– badly. She hadn’t expected to stumble into a big revelation, or something that so obviously hurt Pearl while flirting with her, but she wanted to be there. She wanted to help her feel …if not better, than like she could address all this with help.

“That’s what I’d imagine, Pearl..” Trucy nodded slowly. “normally, if your mom didn’t try to, ah, skew the impression of you, you’d probably have been seen as a boy…” 

"So… I have a body that boys normally have," she said, leaning against her. She followed Trucy's breathing, in, and out. "This definitely explains why my mom told me to never, ever change or be naked in front of someone unless I trusted them with my life."

Trucy’s voice shuddered in a desperate half laugh, and her arms pulled Pearl closer as she rested her chin atop Pearl’s head. 

“I’m glad you trust me with your life, Pearl…but still…geeze. How…how does it make you feel? K-knowing that. Not like, what your mother did. I mean…the other part.” 

"Well I'm mad at my mom!" Pearl huffed. "I don't know… I feel pretty confused, Trucy… sorry I spoiled our fun sleepover…"

“You should be! Pearl…lying to you like that? T-trying to use you like that? It’s fucked up!” Trucy puffed her cheeks out in quiet fury, seething at the very thought of a mother lying to her child like that.

“Be mad! And…and” She squeezed Pearl tight. “no matter what I’ve got your back, okay? I’ll do all I can to help you sort it out! It..it’s not like the sleepover’s ruined, either! I still wanna see you in your new clothes!” 

"You do?" Pearl perked up a little against her, and looked up at her with big, dark eyes.

Trucy nodded with a grin, and reached up to brush Pearl’s cheek with her thumb. 

“Yeah. I bet you’ll look real cool and handsome in ‘em. Maybe even more than at the mall!” 

Pearl smiled, and poked her fingers together as she leaned into Trucy's touch. "Hey um, I have a dumb question."

Trucy’s thumb brushed against her cheek again as she flushed with a smile. “Yeah Pearl?” 

"Um, so I know you said my body doesn't bother you, even if you weren't expecting it, and I know you think it's okay if I'm a girl, right?" she murmured. "But… would it be okay if I um… if I actually said I might want to be a boy?"

“Gosh, Pearl…” Trucy looked into her eyes with a shy smile. “of course it would be. I mean…if you wanna be a boy, then that’s what you are in my book! If that’s who you are, and how you feel you should be, then that’s what you are!”

She leaned down and kissed the top of Pearl’s head with a flush. “And anyway…I’m bisexual~” she cooed against the top of her head. She’d picked up the term from a friend at the Wunder Bar a few years ago, and had been deeply relieved  to hear it wasn’t just her “That’s what it is when you like both boys AND girls. A lot. So it sure doesn’t bother me, Mr. Detective-in-training Pearl.” 

"Gosh!" Pearl giggled and swooned against her. "Well, I don't know for sure yet, exactly. But… I kind of want to try it out at least, even if it's just with you. I've never gotten a chance to be a boy before..."

Trucy laughed with her, brushing Pearl’s hair with her fingers. 

“Even if it’s just with me, I’m happy to help you try it out, Pearl! And if it’s whatcha want…I’ll make sure nobody gives you crap for it! I’ll make them vanish with my magic act if I gotta…” She gave Pearl another squeeze. “We can have lots of fun with it, giving you the chance and choice your mom didn’t give you. Okay?”

Pearl rubbed her flushed face, and took a deep breath. "Have I ever told you you're the best, Trucy?"

Trucy put her finger on her chin with a grin.

“You have…but I do love hearing it.” She winked playfully down at Pearl. "...but thanks. You’re really great too, you know? You’ve helped me through a bunch too.” 

"And I always will! Promise." With one more deep breath, Pearl stepped backward, and started buttoning up the buttons of the silk shirt.

Trucy leaned against the post of her bed to watch, rubbing her hand against her face to still the blush that still lingered. 

“I believe you, Pearl…but for now…you’re gonna model the hell outta those clothes for me, Detective. And I’m gonna enjoy the hell out of the show.”

The Alef

“(This is my first fanfic for the series Mairimashita Iruma Kun. The manga and anime are S-tier and everything is super wholesome. About this Fanfic, I hope to make it as a Sullivan’s daughter reader insert/ Iruma’s mom insert, Iruma being adopted in his earlier years, and getting to meet the Teacher trio while they’re in Babyls (Opera, Kalego, and Balam). 

As a first time writer, I thought the concept would be a fun challenge, staying in line with character archetype and canonical lore and plot, whilst putting a new take on headcanons from my favorite fanfics for Iruma-Kun. But, I also understand if (if anyone reads this at all) it’s not to anyone’s taste.

I’m still learning how to write “well” or how to tell stories, so this is very much a work in progress and what I hope will be a lot of fun to try out! TLDR: First fanfic, tips appreciated (including grammatical ones), my heart is soft and squishy pls don’t hurt me.

Part 2 ; Masterlist)

______________________________________________________________

As many in the demon world know, the strong rule over the weak. Though one of the three crowns sought to change that, starting at the infamous school Babyls, it’d be a little while till it achieved the prestige duly deserved.

Your steps held no sound as you took a long trek through the halls. While such tricks were far below the Purson clan, they served you well. Slip in, leave the assignment, slip out. Babyls, at this time, was far from a suitable place of learning... at least, for you.

Being left behind was unlucky, suspected lack of the clan’s bloodline magic was worse, and the notion that you were left behind for lacking would destroy you.  Then it’s placing just above passing in the practical exam and having everyone and their mom see it when the results were posted. 

How you managed to survive was a miracle or, as you like to call it, your ambition.

Which wouldn’t be so hard if these damn punks would just. move.

You’ve heard word of the “Top Dog” of Babyls, but weren’t sure if you appreciated the figure for trying to clean up the school, or if you resented them for riling everyone up. “YOU FIT THE BALL ALRIGHT! I’M GONNA MAKE SURE YOU REGRET BEATING UP MY LITTLE BRO!”

...

“Silence.”

Strange... th-..!

Rounding the corner, mouth goes dry, eyes blown wide, and a chill runs down your spine at the sight of the Naberious clan’s youngest, wielding such raw and wild power with perfect control, electrifying in and of itself.

His striking hues meet yours.

“Hm? Another one?”

“Huh?” Yes, brilliant, wonderful, such grace, much eloquence.

“Are you deaf? Are you another one of these bastards?!” He gestures to the second year behind him.

“Ah! uh... No. Just...” Deep breaths, you got this. “Y-you’re in the way...”  “Hah?” As you gesture to the hallway behind him, that he happens to be blocking with his big fuck off lightning puppy, an awkward pause follows.

“Oh, apologies then.” He very promptly leaves. Once he’s gone... “phew...”

Finally, rounding the left, opening the door, 

“Sensei, you could’ve asked for a quieter snack, it was so annoying trying to mute all the chips you asked for.” You toss the bags of chips onto the lump on the couch.

“Hah? Maybe I should change up the lesson plan then..” he mutters, and you can vaguely see him itch his scruffy hair.

You can only sigh at your teacher’s antics... “Honestly, I’d tell you to get your nephew to run your errands, but...” You needn’t say anything to get your point across.

“Hah! That boy...”

You feel a little jealous, their family seemed... a little warmer from your own.

“Welp! I won’t hold you, here.” He passes you a bento.

“... sensei, you didn’t poison this did you?”

“What do you mean?! I made it myself!” “That’s the same thi-” 

“Just scram already, and don’t forget to do your homework.”

“Yeah yeah yeah...”

Now for some peace and quiet... let’s see... “it’s pretty cold today so no punks on the roof...”

Is what you thought.

Only to watch aforementioned nephew get gut punched by who you could only assume was the real top dog.

Only to watch him declare himself the “Guard dog” of Babyls.

Only to be held by the neck- wait what?

“Huh?” Yes, brilliant, wonderful, such grace, much eloquence. “DON’T MOVE! YOU HEAR ME?! DON’T MOVE A MUSCLE!” ‘Oh my..’

“Heh! you let your guard down Morons! Try to fight us and I’ll break their ne-!”

Oh, you didn’t know someone so big could scream so shrilly.

“S-sorry! I’m really bad at controlling my strength so...” says the little bird demon ... a gritty crunch follows that statement.

You also didn’t know someone could look so cute breaking bones.

“DAMNIT WE’LL RETREAT FOR NOW! THOSE WHO CAN STILL MOVE REPORT TO THE ETHOS BATRA! WE GOT BEAT BY THE TOP DOG’S GA-!”

A ringing fills their ears, raising a finger to your lips, you lock eyes with the loud mouth in question and a smile splits your face, “Shhhhhh”

And almost without fail... they’re cut off with silence. 

almost immediately filled with, “HEY WAIT, WE’RE NOT A GANG! THE HELL?!”

Dungeon Menshi (live-blogging from ep 2 to like 7 I think

Ep2

Marcille is such a mood I love her. I too am a picky whiny bitch

THE MY LITTLE PONY CHICKEN— BASILISK. Ah yes i remember its bam enow

Genshin rly said fuck that guy I wanna cook. He’s gonna have to wait for me to cook. Everyone but Marcille is insane <3

NOOOOO MAKING ME FEEL BAD ABOUT THE DOGS— oh thank god she never tried it

If I was Falin I would kill these motherfuckers the instant I got out fr y’all wasting too much time man

Fofa conversa

Ok if I were this Chil kid I would fucking kill Senshi as soon as we could

“Your job is to cook, mine is to detect and ruin traps, Marcille’s is magic” …and the protag guy can get fucked I guess

Ep3

“I was killed by a moving armor once so I used to be terrified of them. Wonder what they taste like, none of the books ever described it. How would you cook them?”— Insane person speaking

Is there like a really tiny person controlling that one specific armor that moves wonky. Like two kids in a trench coat kinda deal

“These armors seem alive and are protecting something *skips the implications* which means they’re edible”

“If he dies let’s leave him here” “yeah” based

Laios (I know his name now) Laios please take out the fucking creature from the sword before taking it with you. Laios please

Laios NEEDS to get someone on the team killed one day. *remembers his sister* that one didn’t count

Ep 7 (I forgot to liveblog the others)

Damn Senshi got that nasty ass beard. Marcille teach him hygiene— FUCK SHE LOST HER SOAP IN THE DRAGON FIGHT NOOOO

MARCILLE JESUS???? WLAKING WATER

In a modern au Senshi is that guy from a countryside town who’s an urban legend because he lives in the woods and refuses to interact with any kind of technology. He doesn’t stop others from living their way but he decided to be a medieval citizen, good for him ig

Marcille finally is awestruck by Senshi and all it took was a fantasy horse… she’s a horse girl isn’t she

Senshi is a better person than me because if someone said it’d be more practical to use my pet’s organs as 🛟 I would kill them. I understand Laios but damn bro

“Why is everyone soft hearted for mamíferos and doesn’t let me plant carnivorous plants?” — Laios. Aiai eu esqueci que ele é assim. Freak /pos

NOOOOOO ANNE NOOOOO. It was inevitable I guess, it is a wild animal after all, but FUCK MAN.

Senshi :((( I feel so bad man but class will start shortly rn so I can’t even be sad :((( having a pet makes me sensitive to this stuff. :((( I’m so sad man

Naur he’s gonna eat Anne to make sure nobody else gets to do it. What if we all died

THESE MFS KEEP GETTING WIPED MAN NO MAMES. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEM STAY OUT OF THIS DUNGEON

Chilchuck??? Chilchuck thanks to hxh I have trauma over dull eyes I know you’re hypnotized probably but don’t do this to me

Thank you Laios for being weird as shit not even the mermaids want you

Lmao Chilchuck trying to talk his way out of not acting to eat a semi-human creature

I have a feeling that Laios will eventually make everyone in this group cannibalistd

MARCILLE FOFA DEMAIS

“Is that a squid? Or an octopus?” It’s an Ikalgo

Senshi is smarter than me I would of literally never thought of that. Marcille’s Jesus spell the true MVP, just like Jesus himself was god bless

Ok essas são as consequências das suas próprias ações Laios, pra que que tu foi comer VERME cru???

#live-blogging

[gotmolokoplus]

I was listening to one of my oldest friends opine at me about the time we had sex while in his therapy-speak mode and he started off his next wild thought with, “We, as heterosexuals…”

I finally cut him off. “I’m not heterosexual.” (I’m not even sure he is, but whatever.)

A good fifteen seconds of stunned silence followed. I think he was rebooting while trying to figure out if his magic dick had accidentally created a lesbian.

Me: “I’m not heterosexual. You know this.”

Another five seconds of his brain flatlining until he remembered, “Oh, yes. You’re bisexual. That’s important to know.”

He also can’t remember what city I live in but he remembers what I looked like naked in my twenties, and he also knows how to calm me down while I’m having a mental breakdown in a hotel lobby, and you know what, at 32, I find that incredibly more valuable.

He is a strange one but I’ve known him long enough that I can always understand what he’s actually saying, and of all the men I’ve been close to, he is the only one who has almost always been honest with me.

We might fight about politics or gender ideology or what have you, but I’ve found I would much rather have a friend who I disagree with about everything who I am always possibly at risk of giving a mini heart attack because he keeps forgetting I’m bisexual, but that friend is honest with me about what he wants and expects of me, over a friend who agrees with me about history and philosophy and votes the right way, but he lies and takes advantage of my bartender-habit of listening pleasantly to whatever drivel is being spewed at me to treat me like his personal therapist because he hasn’t ever had someone he could actually talk to about his feelings who wasn’t his mom.

And of course I am talking about one specific person but he’s also a ton of people I’ve known over the years.

I will take honest assholes over duplicitous angels every time. They’re more interesting and infinitely less frustrating.
