some positives about the atla live action series bc as much as i am a hater it's not good for the soul or the critical thinking skills to only hate things forever
the costumes are phenomenal. I really love all the live action character designs, they look fantastic
a lot of these young characters LOOK really really young, which is important. aang is a kid and they cast a kid and he looks like a kid. azula looks very young - in the cartoon (esp when you're a kid) you don't really think about it but she is a child. it's important that they're kids
the actors are doing a great job and I don't want to hear SHIT against them
suki's mom!!!!! I LOVE suki's mom as the tough-as-nails leader of kyoshi village. a shining example of a GOOD deviation from the original. changes can be good suki's mom is wonderful 10/10 no notes
some of the cgi looks really good!!! the wide shots of omashu look cool as hell and I know some people hate how the bending looks but I think it looks great. it was always gonna be hard to translate to live action but I think the cgi bending looks about as perfect as it could
lesbian oma and shu... so good so important... lesbian oma and shu
the cabbage man. love him
I thought it was cool how kyoshi like possessed him while he was in the avatar state. an interesting take on what the avatar state entails, lots of potential, and kyoshi herself showing up to save her village was a great use of it
jet oh my god jet they did jet really well
LOVE the secret tunnel musicians
azula being a prodigy archer is fantastic. she should
looks like there are actually a lot of things I enjoy about the reboot :)
(update: I don't know what's up with ian ousley's heritage so I'm just removing the thing I said. it's a positivity post anyway)

Can I request a Ike x reader mid NSFW pls and love your mysta x reader x shoto fic by the way ( ◜‿◝ )♡
Tumblr media
PARiNGS - ...Ike Eveland x GN!reader
MENTiONS - ...Shu Yamino
SUMMARY - ...you decided to test out a spell from Shu on Ike, with his permission of course. though the results were very unexpected.
READER'S PROFiLE - ...you're a floral sorcerer, similar to Shu but with more flowers. everything else is up to you! established relationship as well :)
DiSCLAiMERS - suggestive!! in no way am i a professional writer, i just like english lol. please know that these writings are a work of fiction and are the appearance and persona of the character! not the person behind the screen.
Tumblr media
"Ikey, do you mind if I test some magic on you?" you fiddled your thumbs nervously. Ike had already told you that you could try out anything, even on him, but you never really wanted to bother the dear novelist with your shenanigans.
But Shu had shown you a spell that only works on people, so... self-explanatory huh?
"Oh, well I don't see why not? What's this magic supposed to do though, if I may ask?" he stood up from his chair to look at you at full height.
"From Shu's description, 'a spell that temporarily gives a person heighten senses.' It's vague, I know, but it's Shu's exact words y'know," you responded, saying the exact lines that the sorcerer had told you.
"If it's from Shu, then it should be fine. I'm ready whenever you are, darling," Ike nodded. You beckoned him to follow you to your testing room, filled with a many different flowers and plants.
"Okay... 3, 2, 1..!" you counted down, preparing the area and hand motions. A poof of purple-blue smoke arose around the room. You flicked the built-in fan on, seeing that... Ike was normal as ever? Something felt different about him though.
"I seem to- erm... hear things more," he scratched the back of his ear, suddenly yelling out.
"Ike!? Oh my god... I didn't even notice-!" you ran over to the dual toned haired man. There was a pair of cat ears on his head.
Tumblr media
"Whoops, I forgot about that part of the spell, but it should go back to normal in a day," you had consulted the very sorcerer who told you the spell.
"Things should be near normal, right?" you slowly asked, patting Ike's head as he laid on your lap, clearly tired.
"Yep. He just has heighten senses and should have more traits of the cat," Shu nodded, explaining some other things further before leaving the couple.
You continued patting Ike's head, slowly inching closer to his ears until you actually did and started scratching them. Safe to say, they were very soft and it seemed that it calmed the now-cat novelist.
"Just gotta wait a day, alright?" you softly whispered, beginning to hear soft purrs from him. Your gaze softened at the sight.
Tumblr media
"[name]~ I missed you," he appeared behind you, hugging your waist as you passed by him. As a cat, Ike seemed to be a lot more clingy for some reason?
"Haha, I missed you too, but I have some work left to finish. I'll be back soon okay?" you answered, trying to gently pry him off, failing miserably.
"Nooo, I need you here with me..." he begged, holding onto you tighter. It was apparent to you now that there's was a little something poking at your back.
"Ike? Are you... it hasn't even been a day?"
"It's become unbearable! Please..?" you sighed, deciding to help your cat boyfriend with his "small" inconvenience. Suppose your work will have to be for tomorrow!
"Fine... but you better let me have some pleasure as well, kitty~"
Tumblr media
NOTE - hi, i wanna let you guys know that... i'm writing for ILUNA officially now! now onto my actual note for this fic, my friend would probably say "kinkyyyy" if she saw the ending honestly. hope you enjoyed reading this~ (and ty for liking my mysta/reader/shoto fic)
DO NOT: repost or copy any of @kuraitsune's works! sharing is fine with credits.

We Best Love: Episode 1 [BLIND REACTION]
So, I have a girl friend who is fan of this show and finally convinced me to watch it. Did I make a mistake? Who knows.
But I collected my thoughts and decided to do this. Well, this is gonna be long so get ready. I'll edit with my afterthoughts (note, EAW means Edited After Watching [the episode]) once I'm finished with season 1, or maybe before. We'll see.
Ok, let's begin!
Tumblr media
Welp, he's dead, Great start!
Tumblr media
You sure this is a romance? This looks more like an intervention.
So, Zhau Shu Yi. I'll guess he's the main character or one of the main characters. I'll try to remember his name [furiously takes notes]
The one gremlin with No Name is asking Zhau why they think it's important for him to win. As a Bakugou fan, I'm excited to hear his answer.
"I push myself forward, so that you can see me." Just one minute and it's already too ‎fluffy for my heart
Tumblr media
So, they're fighting underwater. They saw too much anime, istg. Anygays, that tells me these are actual kids (well, the actors may be older, but I'll suppose they're interpreting kids. I bet they're highschoolers).
"LESSON 1: LET'S SUFFOCATE." Okay, wow, great title. So maybe my joke about him being dead wasn't that far off.
Chilhood friends to lovers is such a nice trope, oml, go for it, boy. Be a man and go get your man!
Fang Zhen Wen and Jiang Yu Xin. Hope I remember that. Are those the other two friends?
Tumblr media
Me, trying to be smooth
He has a fan club
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You gals are fans of a swimmer. What did you expect? You were gonna run out of things to offer him eventually.
So he's Zhou Shu Yi. [keeps taking notes] I'll try to remember that.
Bro, how did he fell? You're supposed to be a pro, Zhou, your gals will be dissapointed.
Tumblr media
He sounds way to chill for someone who's almost drowning.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
NO YOU'RE NOT????
"How are they talking underwater?" "It's the rainbow connection, don't question it."
Tumblr media
My Shojo Academia
Tumblr media
Gao Shi De is me receiving gifts (socks and a mug) on Christmas
Anygays, Gao Shi De and Zhou Shu Yi seem to have this kind of rivalry since they were basically on diapers. They came out of the womb wanting to throw hands with each other.
But Gao Shi De seems to be the naturally gifted, always on top, and so Zhou Shu Yi developed some sort of inferiority complex, or so it looks like. (Wow, this reminds me of yet ANOTHER story and ️‍🌈 ship that started in a similar way -if you know, you know-)
"Why did you fall-" THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING, LIKE, WHY
Are you telling me that the actual reason he fell was because of the big gay panic- I mean, rivalry, that he has against Shi De?
Tumblr media
OMG HE CUT HIS FINGER! I've seen enough shojo (and shonen) to know what this means. Where's Shi De to kiss it better?
Tumblr media
You're not Shi De.
"I'm not crying." He's so Bakugou, istg
Now he's blaming his misfortunes on Gao Shi De. Bruh, the only thing he did was exist.
Oh, so they're in university? Nice to know.
His friends are trying to understand his language, I feel them, literally had no idea what he was talking about other than "Gao Shi De".
I was gonna say they seem like good kids and very supportive friends. The latter is truth. The former...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This poor unfortunate soul keeps falling for their tricks. Gao Shi De it's not that dumb, tho.
Oh gods, he plays the piano, he knows what them girls (and boys) like.
So after having a whole ass "Corpse Bride" moment they went back to bickering
Tumblr media
They should make out, ngl. [EAW: Bruh...]
Tumblr media
Gay people can't just ask someone out, they have to be very extra about it. Shu Yi is an example of that.
He's been bullying Shi De since they were kids, he's oblivious af.
Boy, just confess, it'll save you and your friends' time.
Tumblr media
I want to know his name, he's such a mood.
While Shu Yi can't stop thinking about Shi De, important things are happening.
That girl from the beginning [EAW: Yu Xin, her name is Yu Xin, you big disaster] is asking Fang Zhen Wen out and he's all (,,>﹏<,,)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
At least she's honest, nothing more important than THAT.
Tumblr media
Shu Yi heard about the proposal and went all fake-smile on them and then left.
"Is Shu Yi OK?" Idk, girl, you tell me, I thought you three were friends.
They're telling him is dangerous to run down the stairs. I think he'll live, but I won't forgive him for dropping his backpack on the floor. Bro, get your stuff.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He's gonna start singing Beat on It.
Annnnnd he went back to the pool. Man, this is were it all started. The flashbacks from episode 1- oh wait.
Tumblr media
He's actually making me feel bad, ngl. Maybe it's the acting, or that I understand the whole "why not me" situation. Mitski taught me well.
It's hard. Friendships and relationships are messy, specially when someone is still young. You also have to deal with a lot of feelings being even more irrational than they should, and the inferiority complex definitely doesn't help, making you feel so insecure about yourself, and as if no matter what you're always going to lack something.
I might barely know them but at the end of the day it's no one's fault, really. You can't control how you feel, or how others feel.
MOOOOOVING ON. You know who could help? HEY, SHI DE!
[EAW: He actually came, that mf]
Wait, is he actually? Bruh, did he jumped on the pool?
Why are teens like this. He could've just dropped the collar. Him and his dramatic gay ass.
Tumblr media
Speaking of dramatic gay asses.
Tumblr media
My guy, this is episode 1, couldn't you just wait until... episode 4, at least?
Dont give me that bs about cpr. The surface was RIGHT THERE!
AND THAT'S THE END OF EPISODE 1. I kinda wanna know if he'll give him the lame excuse about cpr.
I'm dying for more tension, Yu Xin knows what I'm talking about, she also has to finish her thesis.
So, that went quicker than I thought. It was compelling tho. I still need more to form solid opinions, but I´ll bite, I'm interested to know how this develops.
Anyways, whoever reading this (cough cough, bossman), see ya later. I'll watch episode 2 after this.

Tumblr media
벗어나기 위해 몸부림쳐 봐야 HOLYSHIT! Okay you’ve seen the music video a thousand times but now live in front of you?! The way this man moves, the way those leather pants and cut off shirt leave absolutely nothing to the imagination. How can I even focus on the music when all I can focus is the way the sweat rolls down the back of his neck. The curling of his lip as he sings the chorus. I never thought words could sound so sexual until I heard him growl 걸. 
Shit.. How did the song end already?? The whole crowd is silent. Nows my y/n moment, just go for it. Kana looks over at you and laughs because she sees the panic of feral Y/N, she nods in agreement you should do it. She says “Quick yell it!” Your best friend knows you all to well! Its not like you haven’t talked a big game about wanting to shout at 찬 the one phrase he has cheekly deemed okay. Here goes! “찬 제발!!” Most of the members on stage hear you and stop goofing around to look at their leader who at first seems caught off guard. What really is 30 seconds in reality feels like an eternity as 찬 is now looking right at you.. .No into your soul. You can’t tell what his expression means but you feel a jolt of excitement coming from those beautiful eyes of his. They are all laughing on stage as he lifts up his hand in a Darth Vader using the force type of way and says well since you asked so nicely and mimics pushing you back. He does his adorable giggle and then the show continues on to the next song. Lord does this boy have a real hold on your heart.
Kana is shooting daggers  as you almost pass out. Oh my god did I just live out my fantasy?! Both of you giggle and squeal that your time to shine had come. Not thinking a whole lot more of it because the next song was on and it was time to go back to feening over the boys! 
Walking back into the hotel it feels so surreal. Feet are throbbing, your arm is DEAD from swinging the lightstick all night, but your heart is so full! As you reminisce the past 4 hours of your life a man wearing a black hoodie with the hood up grabs your hand and places something inside. As quick as it happened he was gone disappearing among the guest of the bar spilling into the lobby. Kana walks in right after and notices you frozen in your tracks. “What’s up babe?… Y/N you okay?”
“Yeah, no umm somebody just handed me this.” You hold up what you now realize is a room key with a small note. Are you going crazy? As you start to tell your best friend what just happened it hits you… That frame, the jaw line, the nose… And is that the lingering scent of Versace? No, there’s no way… 
“Y/N if you don’t speak I swear to God..”
“Sorry, ummm this guy just handed me this”
“Well, what’s it say?” 
You unfold the small note and read, in his unmistakable hand writing, “Meet me in room 1997 in 30 minutes. Don’t keep me waiting. -C” 
“Kana, okay don’t think I’m crazy but I think… umm well  I am certain that is 찬”
Your best friend has heard you say some pretty delulu shit before but this was insane. An idol wants you to meet him in his room?! Theres no way! Before Kana can check to see if you have some sort of concussion your phone dings. Its bubble, but more importantly its 방 찬.. “Better hurry 😏”. 
“Okay, okay maybe I believe you… I mean he did have a hold on you during the concert. Oh my God he is going to have stayville in a whirlwind with that message. Here’s what we do FaceTime me from your phone until he answers the door just to double check. You know getting murdered would really put a damper on this vacation.”
“Hahahah I’d hate to make you lose me to a stranger. Wait I’m sweaty and gross. Oh but I did shave!”
“Y/N, GO! That man is waiting for you. Just you know text me at some point to let me know you’re okay and what you know, how he looks.”
“Shut the fuck up K!” You are both laughing it up as you head to the elevator. You part ways as you are going to the top floor… 
An empty hallway but a head full of thoughts… There’s no way this is happening right? You finally reach the door. Do you knock? You have the room key? Shit Kana didn’t FaceTime me. Am I about to die? You put the key to the door and as the light turns green the door opens before you can open it yourself and there he is. Christopher Bang smirking at you. “Took you long enough, Princess.” Before you could respond he already has a very firm grasp on your waist as he brings you inside the room with a swift movement the door is slammed shut by the force of him pinning you against it. “This is what you wanted right? You asked so nicely I wanted to reward such good behavior.”

MY DARLING DOLLS 61
PREVIOUS || PT11 CH61 || NEXT
Humans are made based on the image of god. Humans are once close to gods. But because of knowing what's good and what's evil the connection between them a become two cliff. Close yet far.
Well. That being said he wonder if he did gain humanity he will revert back to his original self. What will come after that? There's many thoughts in his mind, clearly that's something that his 'usual' self won't even dare to do.
He watch you live in the current era, he wonder when you'll able to be healed enough to go home. He takes note of some stuff too. He felt it's kinda unfair to his friends you only focus to one of them. Which is the hateful one. But other than that you did give them the warmest hugs. It's nice.
...
..
.
How long does waiting last? He forgotten how much time have passes by, but then the passage of time never been something that matter to him even in the time when his still in his old life. Yet. He realize it's not the case for those around him. Indeed those souls can be akin to a immortal but one day they'll get their chance to mortality and humanity. They too will be gone in a blink an eye.
It's such sad thing. But that's just how... Life works..
"what's wrong Kanata?" He looks at your smile as you notice how down he is even in his smoll fluffy form. You smile so brightly at him. How could you smile at him? Don't you know he disliked your existence?
How could you act like you two are close friends....ah... That's right. The one your supposed to be close to is the one who's no longer exist in this world. The Kanata of this world. Your not smiling at "him" but the Kanata of this world. You never know him as him.
He felt even more sad to think all his friends and future friends are just close to him because they think his the Kanata of this world. But his nothing but a imposter.
"ah it's raining again..." You mumble as you look outside. He felt tears falling as the sky is tearing with him. You look at the blue-green fluffy ball and reach out to held him with your two hands.
"Don't cry.... Do you wanna go for a swim? Even through it's raining outside. We can have a dip in the tub so you can puka puka..." You gentle wipe his tears away.
His fluffy friends all circle around hand trying to comfort him. Even that hateful friend tried to comfort him. Even so his scared that the blue-green fluff would glare at him again.
You chuckle softly as you carried them all and went to the bathroom. Putting them in a wooden bucket and make them float in the water like a ship and splash some water to one of them. One is distasteful at your act (shu) but they all enjoy it as you humm a tone you often hear from en square. 'brand new star'
...
..
.
There's a thing called [ yin and yang phenomenon] in his old world. In such state, even if your a god or a demon. High or low status. You shall fall in such state unless you erase the cause of it or end yourself before it happens. Everyone who enter such state will become the polar opposite of who they are, the holy beings can crumble and fall into the demonic side. A demonic being can be redeem and gain godhood. When you enter such phrase, when your polar opposite taken over your body, soul and mind. You will forget most of it and enter a rebirth state (?).
Once you gain 'sanity' back you either make a deal or have to deal with the polar opposite of yours that stuck with you for life. In the case of this world it's like another personality that can be your worse enemy or a your downfall....
Clearly no one from deity side of the system dislike such occurrence, they would rather die or have a real rebirth than face such thing. Or better yet kill and erase the source why it's began it's growth.
'oh. I guess your my demise.' he thought as he realize his own Yin and yang phenomenon seems to began with your existence. What a troublesome existence.
Since his in such fluffy curse fluff state. The phenomenon won't grow further since it's a neutral and won't grow unless some things change in later.... His later self have to fix it. His just a fluff for now.

Chapter 3: The Agreement
Hey guys, uh, fair warning this is gonna be 17+ for some sexual tension and I made this longer than I initially planned so have fun!
TW: choking, groping, and some dirty talk from Shu
~~~
The booming voice of the mature woman froze the entire room. Josephine kept her head down in shame while Kuro and the albino let go of one another. “Did I not tell you to contact me once you were in trouble?!”
“But I wasn’t! Kuro came here to help me and I was going to make it out with Yui!”
“You call that pathetic attempt an escape?” The second son couldn’t help but laugh.
“Hey, how about you tend to your nose-” She looks at his face and sees it’s already healed. “Shit.” Causing a slight smile from him.
“Quiet at once!” The aunt spoke with venom. “Now, I think we can find a way to settle things, yes?” She gives a sly smile.
“And how do you think we will agree with you?” The vampire pushed up his glasses.
“Well, I’m sure your father would hate to hear about how his strong sons nearly let their bride run away. Not even mentioning the fact that you let not one, but 3 witches get into this tightly secure mansion? Oh, I don’t think so~” She giggles, knowing that they are in checkmate. “How about we check up on Yui every so often, yes?”
“Or, the chubby witch can stay here.” The sleepy one spoke.
“Chubby?!” Josie’s voice cracked. “That’s kind of mean…”
“I never said it was a bad thing.” He smirks at her, making her face go red.
“W-Wait, why would I stay here with you all?”
“Think about it, you get to keep watch on Yui, we don’t tell a word to this to anyone. Do we have a deal?”
“No” “Yes.” Josie agrees while her aunt and brother don’t. “You dumbass, they’ll kill you!”
“They won’t I have some tricks up my sleeve.” She gives a knowing look to Kuro and he chuckles. “Clever kid… Fine, you can stay with these punks.”
“But, we have conditions.” The one with glasses spoke. “First off, no more damaging property. Second, you are to attend high school with us to ensure you will be safe in our care. Third, to secure our end of the bargain we will not kill you.” He clarifies.
“Alright, sounds good to me!” Josephine smiles, unknowing of the lion’s den she’s walking into. “So, when do I move in?”
“As soon as possible.”
~~~
Hours passed as Josephine, Kuro, and Jacqie moved the young witch’s belongings into the estate. “Are you certain you want to do this, Josie? It’s not to late to back out.”
“I’m very confident in staying here.” Josephine spoke. “There might not be another chance like this ever. I want to protect Yui from their messed up ways as much as I can. When I first got here when I looked into her eyes, I knew she has been scared for so long. That, and it may give us some good information about vampires and their heirarcy.” She adds.
“You’re definatly your parents’ child.” Her aunt laughed. “Just, please keep in touch.”
“Of course, I’ll contact you through the mirror when I can!” She beams.
“If they lay a fucking finger on you I’ll make what happened to Leon look like child’s play.”
“Oh my god, psycho, I’ll be fine.” She laughed at her brother’s remark. “Besides, I’m certain they won’t do anything bad to me.” Oh, how she couldn’t be more wrong.
~~~
A couple more hours passed and her room was set up. Little succulents placed on bookshelves with various books from childhood and current. Some journals placed on her desk. A stuffed white rabbit sits on her bed with a pink blanket for comfort. It didn’t take long for a vampire to knock on her door. “It’s open.” She says as she admires her handiwork. 
“I see you settled in. It looks… Cozy.” He makes a mental note of all the herbs she has around.
“Thank you…” She paused. “I’ve never got any of your names.”
“Oh, that’s right… How rude of me.” He cleared his throat in embarassment and pushed up his glasses. “My name is Reiji, I’m the second eldest. My deadbeat older brother, Shu, is the blonde one that is always sleeping. Laito, the second youngest, is the one in the hat that you threw into the wall. The who knocked you out, Subaru, is the youngest one. Kanato is the 3rd youngest. He is the one you referred to as “repulsive”. So that makes Ayato, the other red haired one.”
“So it goes Shu, you, Ayato, Kanato, Laito, and Subaru..” She notes out loud.
“Correct, you catch on quickly.” He peers down at her.
“Yes, thank you for noticing.” She rolls her eyes.
“My, I see we still need to work on our manners.” He scoffs. “I gave you a complement, you should be grateful.”
“Greatful?” She laughs at him. “I know my own intelligence, thank you. I did not want to pull this out, however, I will if I must.” She shakes her head as he looks at her with shock. How dare a witch speak to him like this, does she not know his status?! “I am skilled in 4 languages, I’m knowledgeable in herbology, and I am starting to learn about death magic. So, it would be best not to treat me like I’m one of your chamber maids, understood?” As soon as she finished that sentence she felt a hand around her throat.
“You don’t know when to simply shut up, do you? I’m afraid your tongue will get in you into plenty of trouble here if you do not control yourself.” He squeezes it to get his point across, smiling at the way she gasps and wraps her hands around his wrist, trying to pry him off. “What’s wrong?” He mocks her. “Is it getting hard to breathe?” Reiji couldn’t help but laugh at her state. A wonderful mix of pain, fear, and anger seeping off of her.
“Let me go, please!” She chokes out, gasping for air, hoping just a little to get into her lungs.
“Oh, so you do know manners! What a pleasant surprise.” He chuckles and lets go of her, causing her to wheeze as she gasped. “Next time, use them more. I might not be so kind and let go.” He gave a sly smirk before disappearing from her sight. 
“Fucking bastard.” She rubs her neck in pain. That really hurt! I need to take a bath. Get his gross touch off of me. She sighs before heading into her bathroom and seeing someone laying in her bathtub. “Oh come on!” She yells in annoyance, causing him to open an eye and close it.
“Oh, it’s you.” He says quietly.
“Yeah, no duh.” She crosses her arms. “It’s almost like this is my bathroom.” Her voice laced in sarcasm, causing him to laugh slightly.
“C’mon, what happened to manners, hmm?” He smiles a little, causing her face to light up in a shade of red.
“You heard all that?! Why were you listening to us?!” She yells.
“Lower your voice, you’re being too loud. I was just trying to take a nap here, it’s not like I was trying to easedrop.” He sighs. “However, with you two bickering it’s hard not to. Did you think I was wanting to listen to you do something else, hmm?” He cocks a brow at her.
“Distgusting!” She scoffs at him and goes to turn on the water and grab the shower head and spray him. “Go on. Get.” She tried to scurry him off like a wild animal in someon’e yard. 
“You really think this is going to work.”
“Yes, get the fuck out.” She snaps at him, going to make the water colder.
“... You do realize we don’t care about temperature, right?” He laughs at her. “What happened to you being so smart?” He makes fun of her. “Was it just an act? Are you secretly just a stupid little girl?” She chokes up a bit.
“Shut up and just leave, okay.” She turns off the water, Shu’s body moving up to reach for her and pull her in. Causing a yelp of shock to leave her. Clothes getting wet as he holds her close to his cold and wet body. “H-Hey let go!” She shifts around.
“No, why should I?” He looks down at her, loving the look of embarrassment and nervousness on her face. “Heh, that look on your face, it looks so cute on you.” His hands move to rest on her plush hips. Eying the way her breasts press against his chest. “You look so innocent and sweet but with this body of yours… Makes you look gorgeous.” 
“Ugh, stop it, you just want to get into my pants.” She tries to push against him on his chest.
“No, I was just speaking the truth. Although that perverted little thought you had was partially true, I can’t help but want to keep a girl like you close.” His fingers dig into her flesh, making her wince. “I’ll let you in on a little secret.” He whispered in her ear. “Witch or not, women with curvy bodies like yours, drive me insane. Seeing you tied up in that chair and trying to put on a brave face while being so scared was tempting.” His hands crept to hold onto the globes of her ass, a small gasp leaving her.
“And those cute little sounds you make, are so sweet.” He laughs at her nervousness. “It makes me want to draw out more from you. Bite you in the most pleasurable and painful places on your body to see and hear your reactions. I’m sure you’re a little pain slut, right?” He smirks down at her.
“What the fuck?! No! I’m not- Mmph!” He quickly shut her up with a kiss, holding her by the back of her head to make sure she can’t break away. After a little bit he lets her pull away with a laugh. “Why the hell did you do that?!” She yells at him while trying to get up. Thankfully he lets go.
“Just to see you mad.” He smiles and before she could snap back, he was gone.
“... Is this house just full of perverts?!” She yells into the air. 
Since he was gone and finally had a moment to herself, she brushed to teeth immediately to get the taste off her lips. Wanting to forget the way he pressed her body close to his own. She undresses and hops into the shower, praying silently to remove the feeling of both of the elder brother’s hands on hers. Shivering as she remembers how long and big their hands felt against her. Shu’s being a bit more rough feeling on the tips as he groped her and felt her up. Meanwhile, Reiji’s long fingers felt softer even though they were covered by the cloth of his glove. Get it together Josephine! You are not going to let these idiots get the best of you! All they wanted was a reaction and they left so just forget what those clowns did! You’re not going to be a pervert and think about how their hands felt on you! Once she finished her shower she got out, dried off, and put on some clothes before combing and putting some product in her hair. Opting to wear a simple mock turtleneck shirt, a cardigan, and a simple black skirt.
“Hey, Josephine, can I come in?”

Okay, this demented carrot child always comes first in his year in practically every subject in Liyue Academy without breaking a sweat.
Then you came along from Mondstadt School for Gifted Students and came in first place, with Childe 1 mark behind you
This is obviously a huge blow to him, because no one has ever upstaged him and over 1 stupid mark too! 
School is shit too, so everyone makes a big deal out of it too
Childe swears to god that if he heard one more, “But you were always first place!” he is going to drown the school
As long as you didn’t beat him in P.E, you were safe from his wrath-
*Insert a visual representation of you wiping the floor with the poor boy’s ass in dodgeball*
You didn’t really make a big splash (haha) on your arrival to school as it was test week, but students flocked around you and Childe wishes that your innocent face were a little less cuter so that he could smash it in
He went up to you a few times too, looking for a fight that you tactfully avoided because feral children like Childe are to be ignored
You get bombarded with height jokes every ten seconds, and sometimes, a little whale doodle in found in the corner of your neat notes (in pencil, he doesnt hate you that much)
He becomes really studious at this point, taking notes in classes instead of daydreaming or playing Angry Bards on his phone 
“Joint first place...” You two mutter in disbelief, “JOINT FIRST PLACE?!” 
This is your breaking point too, this stupid orange beanpole cannot equal you in anyway
YOU DID NOT SUFFER A MONTH OF: “Can you reach that?” and variations of “Is the air more polluted down there?” Just for him to TIE with you
You look at him, his blue eyes shining with both fury and the thrill of a competition, both of you share an “It’s on”
This is it, boys. This is w a r
You and Childe squabble more often, perhaps not physically but there was this one time you tried to kick the back of his knees when he used you as an armrest
“You look a little tense down there, do you want a massage?” “I’ll massage your fucking neck-” “If you can reach it, that is.”
P.E is filled with sexual tension.
School is shit, so some of your classmates start shipping it
And though you deny it, and say that you would never date a note-sabotaging hooligan, you realise Childe incredibly gorgeous 
He knows you're beautiful too, which makes competition harder because sometimes he just daydreams about to next wrestling match you have with him. It's not because he likes you or anything he just looks forward to flirting fighting with you!
Then comes D-Day, the day when Childe got the message that he has a raging crush on you
So his brother Teucer, who's in primary school, is found crying in the school playground because he accidentally dropped the notebook his brother gave him into a puddle by none other than you 
You comfort him with chocolate and pick up the notepad, looking at the smudged ink that onced used to be a tutorial on multiplying fractions
Huh, this handwriting is familiar, and that whale doodle-  
Holy shit Childe writes notes for his brother? That’s?? So?? Cute??
Speak of the devil, hear comes the red head, his observant eyes catching the red rings under the small boy’s eyes
He grabs your collar, “What did you do to my brother?” 
Childe has never laid a hand on you before and doesn’t really overstep your boundaries, but if anyone touches his precious brother they will pay
Teucer looks at you two and nearly chokes on his chocolate, “They didn’t do anything! I just dropped-“
Small bub starts crying again and Childe hugs him, “Don’t worry Teucer, I'll write you more! I kinda forgot how to multiply fractions anyway!” He lies.
You’re on your way to the city centre, and since that’s close to where rich boy and rich boy jr lives, they tag along with you
“Thanks, y/n. Sorry for grabbing your collar, are you hurt?” He sheepishly scratches the back of his head, a little ashamed of losing his cool.
“I’m good. I never knew you had a brother!” You reply and Teucer jumps.
“Oh, is this the classmate you were talking about!? The one that beat you-” “SH-SHU-SHUSH TEUCER-”
And basically the rest of the day Teucer blabs about Childe’s crush on you
Childe just finds it adorable how you giggle at Teucer’s antics and how you speak so cutely and sofogohoho everything-
After that event, you kind of realise how nice Childe is
Like buying lollies for his senior, Zhongli during the summer
And sometimes he makes sure you eat well because he “can’t be happy when he beats you when you're not at your full capacity.”
He makes more height jokes, but they're in a gentler context now? Like, “You’re so angry and tiny, I should start calling you pocket rocket.” 
You’re slowly getting whipped for him too though. Sure, he draws those damn whale chibis in your notebook, but they have a little winky face and a heart now.
You don’t rub them out anymore, they’re too cute-
Childe burns himself out a lot, so you let him rest on your shoulder during free period and make sure he’s hydrated 
He’s whipped x2 now, good job
So now you guys go on study dates, and he’ll occasionally quiz you.
If you get something wrong, he gently flicks you on the forehead 🥺 But not too hard because “Competing against a person with dead brain cells is bad sportsmanship.”
Childe becomes more touchy (think chemistry, as time increases, the affection this boy has for you increases) like keeping you on one side of the road and ruffling your hair.
Everyone except you two know that you two are gonna be endgame at one point.
So 120000 coffee dates later, you ask him if he’s single or not (He’s popular with the ladies, gents and the non binary folk) and he shakes his head 
You twiddle your fingers and ask him out
Apparently, according to rumours, Childe is really harsh or incredibly sympathetic in terms of rejection.
Hoping to take the fall gently, you shut your eyes, but instead you feel your hands getting squeezing and you’re met with a red, flustered face 
Childe lets out a “Yes!” which comes out more shy than his usual coy tone of voice.
Ya’ll he’s so nice to you? He’ll still wrestle you and bully you about your height, but it’s so endearing?
So two new highschool sweethearts walk into school hand in hand all bubbly and lovey dovey. 
You both stare at the scoreboard of grades in your year...
You watch the colour drain from Childe’s face and when you look you feel like screaming...
“Joint... First... Place... AGAIN?!”

Title: Lunar Eclipse Masquerade
Karlheinz pt. 3
Rating: NSFW | PG-18
Word Count: 1,947
Pairing: Karlheinz x Skye (m/m)
ღ As the part unwinds, Skye is finally able to take a breath. Though maybe there is something else on Karl's mind, as the moons affects finally seem to reach him. ღ
Mun Yu: We did it! These are the last pieces of the LEM story. The end to our Lunar Eclipse. I hope that you have enjoyed the ride, and gotten to know the stories on this blog better! Tune in at the end of it all for Authors Notes!
☆+ ゚ .+ .゚.゚。 ゚ 。. +゚ 。゚.゚。☆*。。 . 。 o .。゚。.o。* 。 .。
Despite what most people think, demonic beings are very social creatures. The elites hold countless balls and parties, celebrating their immortality together, and entertaining one another with stories. Typically, they are done in celebration for something – though this is not always the case. All types of beings from across the Demon Realm will come if the host is of high enough prestige.
There would be no such host if it was not for Karlheinz. Seated as the head of the Bat Clan (vampires), Karl’s reach spans far. Being the widow for the former Demon King’s daughter, and having children of the first blood, an invitation from the Vampire King is not one to refuse. Though why would you? In his immaculate castle within the Demon Realm, Eden Castle, it is always quite the spectacle. While the celebrations held in his Human World mansion are nice, nothing compares to a true night of pleasure within the true home of the King.
On this night, there was to be a Masquerade in honor of the first Lunar Eclipsed Moon in over two years. While this night may serve each species differently, the idea to celebrate its return was simply too tempting. For this reason, Karlheinz took it upon himself – or rather – his house, to host the event. This extended to his offspring as well, regardless of their personal agenda. Members of every social elite race accepted the offer, and gathered for a truly unforgettable evening
Tumblr media
While he was sure others had a marvelous time at the event, Skye was exhausted. It was one thing to organize and watch something happen from afar. Being one of the hosts was completely different. There was never a moment of peace. At any time someone would come up to speak with Karl, and he would have to smile and pretend to be interested.
It was enough to just be seen and not heard. How did his wives ever deal with this? Then again, they were probably all bread for this kind of thing. After departing from Shu and his new bride, Karl had insisted on taking Ajax and his wife with him on a tour. But not before getting Burai – what were these three frat brothers?
To see Karlheinz in this light was rather amusing. Not that he was very different, but one could tell that the three men had a special bond about them. Perhaps that wasn’t something Skye could understand. He wasn’t too keen on the history here in the Demon Realm, but he did know that there used to be battles constantly. These three must have been allies through all of that. Or perhaps they were enemies which Karl subdued? Skye wasn’t sure which.
“And then, wouldn’t you know it, Meteo surprised us with a visit! It was glorious to see him! Xyander and Xylon met him for the first time. Hard to think they are already three and never met their brother. My son has been so busy – but Stevi and Helios were excited to see him. Little Onan was sleeping, but I am sure they are having a great time while we are away.” Ajax prattled on and on while they walked through the castle. Skye couldn’t help but roll his eyes, just how many kids did this guy have?!
“Dear, you speak of our children much too much. Your castle is beautiful as always, Karlheinz. Thank you again for allowing us the honor of visiting. Even if it was just to swoop away with our daughter.” His wife chimes, wearing a smile, but her words drip with venom.
Karl laughed slightly at her, Skye could tell that it was mostly in triumph. “Now Catalina, we both know that Ajax would never simply give away something so precious. Callista will be well taken care of, of that I assure you.” Karl offered her comfort, but it was more so in an attempt to get the matter dropped. He had won, there was no sense in her dwelling on the past.
“Honestly, the fuss you all make over children.” Burai finally speaks. “That is why you have them one at a time. Devote what you can, then move on.”
“That is an interesting stance, though, given your record my friend – I wouldn’t lead with it.” Karl states, in reference to Burai being not only his friend, but his ex-father-in-law.
“I would choose one child every century- millennia even - over the amount you both have.” The Demon shivered, disgusted by the idea it seemed. “They are simply a means to an end. We must produce them to preserve the line and power, but nothing more.”
“That is not true! My children bring me such joy! You cannot say that you feel nothing when you look at your son now!”
“I won’t comment on that.” Burai simply answers, as Ajax berates him with further justifications of his unending love for his offspring.
Skye walks quietly next to Karl while the demons talk amongst themselves. He was ready to retire for the evening, and as they came back into the ballroom, he was glad to see most of the guests had gone. Especially at least half of Karl’s sons – all that remained were Kanato, Shu and Reiji… wait! Was Reiji seriously trying to take Shu’s dance!?
“Well isn’t that quite the problem.” Karl muses beside him. “Seems those two just cannot get along.” Skye knew that this had to be part of a larger plan. Karl doesn’t simply do anything. There is always a motive.
“Callista my dear!” Ajax’s voice boomed from behind them, the large demon B-lining straight to his daughter. He did not seem upset by her daughter being in the arms of someone other than the man he had just left her with.
“It is still a mystery how that man became a Demon Lord.” Burai comments stepping up to Karlheinz. “He is a fool.”
“Some just have other reasons for fighting. He is plenty powerful to make up for the fool. Not to mention his wife does a fairly decent job keeping things in check.” He shrugs it off, watching the ever doting father collect his daughter. “What of you? Any plans I should know about for a future love affair?”
Burai scoffs, “My last child is still alive, so do not count on it.” He says, gesturing to someone. Skye looked in the direction, hoping it would be Alrick. To his surprise, a woman seemed to respond to the signal. She was dressed in a floor length gown, but not something fancy, something closer to a maid’s outfit really. Was this a familiar? Her appearance was almost human; very bland everything. There wasn’t even a demonic presence about her.
“You have summoned me, Lord Burai?” Whoever this was, they were most certainly a servant. Not looking up even slightly, that was some quality training.
“We are leaving.” Burai dictates, the young maid bowing and excuses herself. “You celebrations are nice, however, please do keep me off any intimidate affairs. I have little time to deal with such things.” Almost as quickly as he finished his sentence the strange woman was back, and helping him put on his coat. Perhaps she was a familiar.
“You are the last person I would want to have anything intimate with, my friend.” Karl waves off the demon lord, and escorts Skye to the head of the room. Skye looked back at the Snake demon to see if Alrick was going to show up.
Instead, he saw this supposed happy bachelor prude, actually link arms with the servant! What a hypocritical- oh god was that a kiss!? Skye couldn’t believe it. Even if it was on the hand, that ass hole. Giving everyone the ‘oh look at me – I’m all business. Big bad demon lord’. He couldn’t wait to tell Alrick about it later.
“You are quite distracted. I think that’s enough sharing you for one day.” Karl’s voice brings Skye out of his train of thought. “Come, we shall retire for the evening.” His voice was soft, as if he was purposely only allowing Skye to hear.
“If I didn’t know any better, I’d think you were trying to imply something, my king.” Skye knew that there was no way this night was not going to end without the two of them becoming intimate. Honestly he was pretty tired. Not to mention, it was his impression that the Bloody Moon was supposed to affect the bat clan. Here the night is over and Karl’s been the same. Rip off.
Karl laughed a little at Skye’s comment, “Haha, you know me too well.” He moves a hand around Skye’s waist, holding him close. Within moments the two of them were moved out of the ballroom and into their room. Well, this was the room they typically fooled around in. Skye knew this wasn’t Karl’s room – he actually doubted that the man slept at all.
Skye smiles up at Karl and moves over to the bed, sitting on the edge, crossing his legs. “I must say, that was fun being your little arm candy ~ I don’t think there was a single person who missed it.” That thought sent shivers up his spine. What a thrill it was to be seen. Not to mention seen by all those stuck up demons who would normally look down on him.
Karl watches Skye bask in the afterglow of their appearance. What a strange creature he was, actually wanting to be the center of the universe. Yet at this moment, Karl felt like that role suited Skye more than any other. “Yes, you were magnificent, my siren.” His praise seemed to affect him, as their eyes were soon looking over one another.
With a smirk on his face, Karl summoned his magic to disrobe the cape which was draped over his shoulder. Whilst he undid the buttons on his vest, and loosened the tie around his neck. “So well in fact,” He stepped out of his shoes, and allowed magic to take his discarded clothing off to be hung up. “I believe you deserve a reward.”
Skye was entranced by Karl’s mystical display. God it was always so hot to watch him strip. Way better than doing all that work himself. Just as Skye was about to do the same, Karl suddenly dipped down and knelt before him. “My King…?” Skye’s eyes widened. This man was not about to do something stupid, right?!
With a small laugh, Karl slowly started to take off Skye’s heels. “Your expression dictates you were thinking something absurd.” He softly kisses the top of Skye’s foot. “I am rewarding you for all the hard work you did for this night, not punishing you.” There was a hint of melancholy to his words.
Karl had no interest in submitting another to the role of his ‘wife’ again. The title was nothing but a front anyway. He had not loved anyone. Still loved no one. These ‘feelings’ for Skye - if they were love, Karl would have no idea. Their time together was an end to boredom alone. The means to a release. Though if that were completely true, Skye wouldn’t be as involved as he was with Karl’s professional life.
The boy was more than just his assistant here. In the Human World, he was even Tougo Sakamaki’s new face. People saw him more than they did the politician. Once Skye had finished school, he came onto the alias’ line of work, and began working as the personal secretary for the famed politician. Karl was sure that Skye would even be a nurse for Reinhert if he had asked.
Skye let out a soft mew in response to Karl’s gentle touches and kisses. This was new, he was never this gentle. It felt nice, especially since his feet were killing him from the heels. Beauty was so painful. He was happy that things were like this, how silly to think that Karlheinz would even consider a marriage. Well, it wasn’t like he honestly thought about it - it was more just the shock of him actually kneeling.
Though now that he got a good look - the sight of the Karlheinz was worshiping his feet. “Heh, my king~ I have to admit, mhmm, the sight of you down there… is really turning me on~” He says, moving his other foot to locate Karl’s groin.
Karl simply focuses on his task at hand. Slowly. Sweetly. Moving his lips up from Skye’s foot, up his leg. “Mm! My King… if you tease me so much I - ah!” Karl moves to just behind Skye’s knee - one of his biggest weak spots. Skye bites back another moan.
“Now that wont do.” Karl suddenly speaks and looks up at Skye. His eyes are full of desire. Hunger. Lust. “I want to hear you. Every sigh. Gasp. Moan. You will not hold anything back. In return, I shall spoil you. Every. Inch.” He smirks, wetting his lips, and picking up Skye’s other foot. “So. Be the beautiful siren you are meant to be. And submit yourself to my will.”

okay finished rule of wolves and i have THOUGHTS..... of which i have gathered..... like sheep i have herded them together. so no it's not coherent. spoilers under cut so abandon hope all ye who enter here
okay….. deadass…… i think my favorite point of view was from the darkling LIKE?!?!?! me before starting this book: HAHA THE DARKLING IS GOING TO DIE FOR THE SECOND TIME!!!!! GET REKT!!!!! me after: His first soldiers were dead now. Lovers, allies, countless kings and queens. Only he continued on. Eternity took practice, and he’d had plenty of it. The world had changed. War had changed. But he had not. but seriously he’s so dramatic and the shit is he says is like. unhinged. i had a blast
zoya deserves so much love and peace and i knew she’d end up queen but this was…. not how i expected it would be. but more thoughts on that down the list
how is jesper going to show up for approximately 14 pages and manage to be the funniest character in the entire book. like he’s got probably 50 lines and each one fucking hits HOW DOES HE DO IT
mayu’s chapters felt very unnecessary and i would’ve preferred to just not know how tamar’s mission in shu han is going until the khergud show up for their ride of rohirrim/knights of the vale moment. maybe leigh wrote it that originally and it just didn’t work? because i can definitely see how insane it would read like all we know about khergud is that they hunt grisha and then all of sudden they’re…. helping ravka?!?!? like it would be really hard to pull off but idk i think all of mayu’s chapters were just. kind of sloggy and the surprise would’ve been fun during the battle
sorry but i still don’t know what the fuck an airship looks like. or what the fjerdan naval base was supposed to look like. the tech in this universe is truly mind boggling
kaz brekker is so in love with inej ghafa. god they make me SICK
okay nina’s storyline…… this is my biggie……………… sigh. okay. nina’s storyline was my favorite part of king of scars and so i was really looking forward to seeing what would happen here. and for the most part i was having a great time!! i love her and hanne (more than i ever got into her and matthias) and i was so excited for jarl brum to finally fucking die. but then the last few chapters. i’m so……….. okay talking about hanne being a trans character (i’ll be using they/them pronouns because it doesn’t feel like a settled issue especially since they talk about not wanting to *be* rasmus, just his body). it makes so much sense for their character and i had HUUUUGE vibes all the way back in kos and i could see it coming here in row. but the way leigh handled their “transition” (???) is not good. like hanne had to kill a cis man and take on his identity to transition and that is such a bad handling i think??? who approved this. but also from a narrative standpoint it GETS WORSE?!?! like how the fuck is hanne gonna pretend to be a PRINCE… what will they do about the king and queen?? and nina remaining mila…… it honestly makes me really angry. that nina would turn her back on her country and friends and family for a LOVE INTEREST…… like her storyline has centered SO MUCH about how much she misses ravka, and in this duology even ketterdam!! like we all realize that when nina focuses on missing waffles or blini *those are symbolic stand-ins for her friends and it’s easier for her to talk about missing food than missing her friends*. like we all know that. and then in the end she says you know what i can PRETEND TO BE SOMEONE ELSE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE????? and not just a random fjerdan woman literally someone who will be QUEEN OF FJERDA ONE DAY. like an incredibly public position that will put mila under a ton of scrutiny… more than her identity was created for! and nina literally acknowledges that if they got the real mila jandersdat’s friends and neighbors to look at nina they’d know she was an impostor. so what is mila’s village gonna do when they hear mila jandersdat is apparently back from noyvi zem and now engaged to the prince???? i think leigh chose an ending that just doesn’t hold up narratively and logically. like i want nina to be happy and find love but why does it have to be…. not as nina.
my other big gripe is the politics and international implications of everything that’s going on like…… ravka is engaging in some CIA-backed-coups-in-latin-america levels of diplomacy. like fjerda is not just going to have a secret grisha impersonating their prince and eventual king one day, but their queen will ALSO be a secret grisha and RAVKAN SPY???? if nina was ever caught do you know the level of international scandal that would cause??? how the fuck could zoya even let her go off and do this??? it would absolutely be grounds for war and i thought zoya and everybody were TIRED of war. speaking of ravka’s government. guys we LITERALLY DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE A MONARCHY. like i was actually hoping zoya would become queen but like…. because she married nikolai. not because nikolai stepped down and she was appointed. like i was fine with the monarchy sticking around if they never even had a chance to contemplate alternatives but they literally say no………. we choose monarchy. besides the fact that the world is advancing and monarchies don’t last long in technologically advanced societies, zoya is going to have the most unstable reign because of the threat from the lantsovs. like nikolai’s parents are gonna go back to the southern colonies and just be like “our son ended our dynasty and put a grisha on our throne but that’s fine! we shouldn’t try to reinstate ourselves or anything.” demidov is fine with this??? he had a problem with nikolai being a lantsov pretender but zoya just starting her own monarchial dynasty gets no pushback??? like i know nobody wants to end the book/series on such a depressing note but like. a revolution and/or coup is staring zoya in the face. and yeah she’s the motherfucking dragon but um…… so was daenerys targaryen. and ultimately it really feels like the ending of game of thrones where a bunch of noblemen are gathered in one room and they’re like “we have the chance to change the course of our country forever so we will…….. START A NEW DYNASTY!” ….. HUH?!?!!? like when nikolai was like ravka will choose its leader! and the only people from ravka in the room are the landed gentry and peerage. like yeah ravka really got a say in this…. so no nikolai i actually don’t think the nazyalensky dynasty will last that long because with all the threats of being overthrown on LITERALLY ALL SIDES zoya may just decide to say fuck it and give the people democracy so it’s no longer her problem! or she just gets killed. so. anyways if the only known countries in this world are ruled by either 1. monarchies (fjerda, ravka, shu han) or 2. plutocracy (kerch) i can see why literally fucking everybody is moving to noyvi zem. like jesus i would too!
genya deserves so much better she has suffered so much and i know leigh needed to make the war have personal consequences BUT DOES SHE HAVE TO HURT GENYA IN THE PROCESS???? like she just doesn’t get a break. anyways i hope she retires from the triurmvirate and goes to live with alina and mal in keramzin because you know what. they were right. they were right to turn their back on literally everything to do with ravkan politics. genya go join them pls
zoya’s expression of grief and mourning… yeah. yeah that one hurt.
i know everybody’s talking about the potential of soc3 but actually i don’t want that! let the crows be in peace in ketterdam!!!! their biggest threats should be like. getting shanked in the barrel not whatever the fuck zoya will put them through. i hope kaz just ignores her letters and when the Queen of Ravka personally comes to his doorstep he reiterates that he’s RETIRED. and when zoya tries to pull the inej card she pops out from behind kaz and says “i’m on vacation with my boyfriend. we’re good!” LET THEM REST!!!!!!!
so yes these are my thoughts not all of them but many of them. i still really enjoyed it and think it was waaaay better than king of scars (not as good as soc & ck though <3). the problem is that the ending definitely colors your view of everything that's happened and if you don't like the ending... well. it's not even that i didn't like the entirety of the ending i mostly just hated nina's and the implications of zoya's. do not mistake me for a darkling fangirl!!!! anyways the writing in this was really good too and there were more moments that just HIT ME than in kos, which i think i just sort.... breezed through without getting hit in the face by a brick of a line. but this one has so many moments especially in zoya and the darkling's chapters that i'm just like OH!!!!! so that is why i leave you with this:
"Zoya, do you know why the Darkling lost the civil war? How Alina stopped him?" Zoya pinched the bridge of her nose. "No. I wish I did." "Because he always fought alone. He let his power isolate him. Alina had us. You have us. You push us away, keep us at arm's distance so that you won't mourn us. But you'll mourn us anyway. That's the way love works."

January 12, 2021: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) (Part 1)
Hey, uh...
Tumblr media
I can’t remember if I’ve seen this movie or not.
OK, HEAR ME OUT HERE. I was 9 years old when this movie came out in the USA, and I vividly remember the buzz around this movie when it came out in theaters. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, for those of you who don’t know, is the movie that really introduced wuxia to the United States in the modern century. Directed by Ang Lee - y’know, this guy...
Tumblr media
...buuuuuuuuuut, also this guy...
Tumblr media
AND YET, still this guy...
Tumblr media
- this movie has won a HELL of a lot of awards, and was the critical darling of 2000. And again, I know some of you Tumblrites (goddamn Zoomers DO YOU EVEN REMEMBER NICKELODEON ORANGE AS A COLOR??? Kidding, by the way, y’all are cool) may not be old enough to remember that time, but lemme tell you: this movie was a Mandarin-language movie nominated for Best Picture. Not just Best Foreign Language Film (which it WON), but BEST. PICTURE. Trust me. It was a big deal at the time. 
The film actually did win Best Original Score, Best Art Direction, and Best Cinematography. And as I watch this, I’m going to be remembering both the time period it came out in, and the film that actually won Best Picture that year. What won Best Picture that year, you ask? Well...
Tumblr media
Yeah. But is CTHD better or worse than Gladiator? Well, that’s what I’m gonna try to figure out, as well as whether or not 9-year-old me saw this movie already. I don’t think so, so that’s why I’m watching it now. 
So LET’S GO BACK TO THE YEAR 2000, PEOPLE! We just got over that whole Y2K thing (only for the ILOVEYOU virus to pop up), the election was TOTALLY NORMAL (that’s a joke, it...it was not), AOL was the most successful internet company ever (HA! Classic. And Ask Jeeves is gonna last forever, I’m sure), and the below movie would win Best Makeup at the Oscars.
Tumblr media
Yeah. Yeah, that’s an Academy Award-winning movie. How the hell does THAT make you feel? Makes me feel conflicted, I tell you what. ANYWAY MOVIE TIME SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
Recap
Tumblr media
Li Mu Bai (Chow Yun Fat, the man himself), a member of the Wudang sect of swordsmen, is retiring. He goes to his old friend (and maybe more), and leader of a private security group, Yu Shu Lien (Michelle Yeoh), who asks her to deliver his personal sword, Green Destiny. Shu Lien goes to Beijing to deliver the sword to an ally of theirs, Sir Te (Sihung Lung), while Mu Bai goes to the grave of his master, who was killed by an assassin named Jade Fox.
Tumblr media
In Beijing, Sir Te and Shu Lien talk about the whole “more than friends” thing between her and Mu Bai, and they go to store the sword in a study. There, Sir Te’s granddaughter, Jen (Zhang Ziyi), speaks to Shu Lien about the sword, and about the nature of swordsmanship. This serves an introduction into the world of wuxia swordmanship...and I am GODDAMN HOOKED IN
Tumblr media
So is Jen, it would seem, as she speaks with admiration about the freedom that comes with the Way of the Sword (which is distinctly different from the Way of Sarah (Blessed Be Her Fall)). See, Jen’s about to get married, in that arranged way, and she’s not a fan of the whole marriage thing. I get the feeling that she’s planning on doing something about that.
Tumblr media
But no time for existential crises now! Someone’s trying to steal Green Destiny! A ninja sneaks in and succeeds in stealing it, but Shu Lien attempts to stop them. However, the thief is trained in Wudan, much to Shu Lien’s surprise. A rooftop chase occurs, giving us the first display of the rampant wire work and loose physics characteristic of this genre, and GODDAMN IT FUCK YE-NO
Keep it together, man, you gotta treat this film critically and seriously, not like an excited little kid watch some kickass martial arts shit. Even though this fight scene is AWESOME, holy shit...
Tumblr media
The thief succeeds, but only because a second assailant appears with a dart, distracting Shu Lien. In the morning, the night guard says it was someone from Governor Yu’s household. In the street, the attacker is believed to be the mysterious Jade Fox, who would covet the sword of the man she killed so long ago. Ugh, this movie already rules so hard. Anyway, Shu Lien comes to see Jen again, who’s currently writing calligraphy.
Tumblr media
Shu Lien comments that calligraphy writing is similar to swordsmanship. Jen quickly notes that she wouldn’t know. She expounds again on her regrets on marriage, and Shu Lien explains that she was engaged to a fellow swordsman who died. And although Shu Lien and Li Mu Bai love each other, they both feel bound to their fallen friend, and do not act on their feelings. Oh my God, I’m digging this fated romance shit SO HARD
NO. Professionalism. Breathe...focus on the year 2000...Napster...Survivor and Fear Factor...Harry Potter...Pokemon the Movie 2000...Pokemon the Movie 2000: The Power of One...
Tumblr media
...Whew. OK. Back to CTHD.
Jen rests in her home, while two people spy on the...Yus. Wait, Jen’s name is...Yu Jen. Um...it’s her. The ninja is Jen. You couldn’t see it in the GIFS, but the ninja could easily be a woman, no question. It’s totally Jen, acting on her desire to be a true swordsperson. I mean, look at her stare at that sword earlier in the movie. Calling it now, it’s her. But...who threw the dart from the rooftop?
Looks like it’s Jade Fox, as a man from earlier explains. See, he’s a police chief from another area, looking for Jade Fox. He believes that she’s somehow infiltrated the Yu household, possibly arriving with them to Beijing. Jade Fox killed the policeman’s wife, making this personal. Together, the policeman Tsai (Wang Deming) and the Night Guard Bo (Gao Xi’an) team up to find her.
They aren’t the only ones, as Li Mu Bai just arrived to Beijing to talk with Shu Lien, and finds out that Jade Fox ha returned. Remember, Jade Fox killed his master, so he has some stakes in this. Meanwhile that night, Tsai and Bo (Team Law) meet Jade Fox, AKA...Jen’s governess! NICE.
Tumblr media
Jade Fox (Cheng Pei-pei) fights the...wait...wait WHAT DID I JUST TYPE???
CHENG PEI-PEI FROM COME DRINK WITH ME IS THE VILLAIN OF THIS MOVIE???
And now Chow Yun Fat is fighting one of the first wuxia film stars? OH MY GOD
Chow Yun Fat’s about to kill her to avenge his master, and then the mysterious ninja (AKA probably Yu Jen) saves her from him. The two of them fight, and Jade Fox kills Tsai just before they escape using a streamer HOOOOOOOO IT’S REAL HARD STAYING PROFESSIONAL RIGHT NOW
Tumblr media
The next morning, though, Yu Jen learns more about Jade’s crimes, and expresses guilt about taking Green Destiny. Additionally, Shu Lien claims to know who the culprit is, and threatens them with punishment unless the sword is returned. Essentially confirming my suspicions, the ninja returns that night to put the sword back, and Mu Bai is waiting there for her.
Yet another physics-defying rooftop chase occurs, although this one is less frought. They actually refer to the gliding technique as “flying,” and as a technique of Wudan. Interesting, engaging, cinematical, movielian, I love it. I need more of it, MORE PLEASE.
Tumblr media
Looks like I might get what I want. Mu Bai offers to be Jen’s teacher, as he sees great potential in her. But she shuns the ways of Wudan, allows Mu Bai to take back Green Destiny, and returns to Jade Fox. Jade Fox is trained as a Giang Hu fighter, a more brutal lifestyle. 
And yet, Jen isn’t really into that either. Turns out that she’s been studying the Wudan manual on her own, and has EFFORTLESSLY surpassed her illiterate former master. With nothing left to teach her, Jade Fox leaves with a veiled threat.
Tumblr media
The next night, a man visits Jen, and they embrace passionately. He’s a bandit from the Gobi Desert named Lo, AKA Dark Cloud (Chang Chen), and the two met when his gang ambushed her caravan travelling through the desert. He stle her comb, and this girl just GETS ON A HORSE, GRABS A BOW AND ARROW, and HUNTS HIM DOWN LIKE A DOG FOR THAT COMB. She faces down the gang of bandits, and Dark Cloud leads her away, gives her water, and she KICKS HIS ASS!! But she asses out from exhaustion, and he takes her back to his Cave of Wonders.
Tumblr media
He cares for her, and as soon as she regains her strength, she just knocks him out. Cold-blooded, goddamn. But she gets lost in the desert, and passes out again. Lo brings her BACK to the Cave of Wonders, and cares for her AGAIN. My dude is a PRINCE. I mean, he’s a thief and probably a murderer, and definitely a bad person, BUT NEVER MIND THAT FOR NOW.
As you probably guessed, Stockholm/Lima Syndromes set in, and the two fall in love...like you do?
Tumblr media
But Jen’s nobleman father is looing for her, making trouble for Lo and his people. He vows to go legit and make himself worthy for her love in her father’s eyes. He tells a story of a boy who leapt off a mountain to save his parents. A literal leap of faith. In their last night together, she gives him the comb that brought them together, saying to give it back when they’re together again.
But now...Jen’s fated to marry, and it can’t be avoided. Lo gives the comb back to her, as she tells him to leave. And I...I need a break. If I don’t take a five minute break, Imma explode from how much I love this goddamn movie.
Tumblr media

Reiji Sakamaki 2
hey hey this is an x reader I would like to let y’all know that there is some mention of suicide and Self-harm so be warned but do enjoy it.
Besitos~
Tumblr media
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's been awhile after the incident with Reiji and her little breakdown. When he found out about her true feelings, he made the choice to defend her a bit more instead of her taking all the burden. He had started to keep a closer eye on her, aswell to all the things that were said about her. Which every now and then it would usually cause him to break out of character and snap at those that talk ill about her. (Name) was much happier than usual which brought warmth in Reiji and he wanted to make sure she stayed happy.
It was another day at school, (Name) and her History class were on a school trip down at the night museum; learning about history of how Japan was created and the history of their culture. Reiji being a year ahead of his girlfriend he had to stay in school and attend his classes. Amongst copying down the teacher's notes that they wrote on the board; regarding chemistry he couldn't help but overhear some voices in the class from some of the female students
"Oh my god did you hear, (Name) is on a school trip" gossiped a girl in the back
"Yeah what about it?” another girl questioned
"Well, I heard from a friend that used to go to her old school; said that she self-harmed herself" the girl whispered
"No way? You know I’m not surprised" one scoffed.
Reiji could feel his body tense as he continued to listen. He had stopped taking notes by now. He could feel the grip on his pen tighten as he listened to them wish ill will on his girlfriend
"Apparently they are learning about the our history and there sharp things in any kind of museum" a female student mentioned
"Ha! I wouldn't be surprised if she ends up cutting herself" laughed one
Reiji snapped and turned his attention to the group of female students that sat in the back of the classroom. He decided take some notes and make his comment to in hope to get them to stop before and genuinely snaps and starts seeing red
"I would restrain from spreading such ludicrous roomers, especially that of someone who is a year under you" he explained being cool and collected.
"But Reiji it's true-" the girl was cut off as the teacher told them to be quiet and not distract Reiji.
After the class had ended, Reiji had heard the girls in his chemistry class gossiping again about (Name). He decided to ignore them as he collected his stuff to leave the classroom. The group of girls wanted to grab his attention of course and he gave a very clear and annoyed response
"Yes, what is it?" he asked annoyed
"I'm not lying, about (Name)...It's silly that she cuts honestly. I've heard she even tried to kill herself a few times. I’m just surprised she’s never told you" the girl explained touching his shoulder
"It's silly don't you agree?" commented another girl
"Yes it is, but it is very small minded to spread rumors like that. Granted if it is true and she hasn’t told me then that is her decision and hers alone" he glared at her harshly
"BUT IT'S TRUE!" the one latched to his arm yelled
"Please lower your voice, you are creating a scene" he said walking away.
He yanked his arm out from her grasp as he began to leave class; people began to crowd around them as she yelled out so everyone could hear
"WHY DON'T YOU GO AND ASK HER WHY SHE WEARS HOODIES ALL THE TIME, OR THE FACT SHE NEVER WEARS SHORT, SHORT OR SKIRTS. SHE ALWAYS WEARS SWEATBANDS! ITS BECAUSE SHE CUTS HERSELF!-"
Reiji had enough and saw red. He slapped her sending her back with so much force, causing her to fall down. He straightened up his clothing 
"Don't you dare say that, she is a strong woman and it is her style...she doesn't need to be a slut like yourself, now be gone from here unless you want punishment" he growled
“WHAT DO YOU EVEN SEE IN HER SHE IS JUST SOME BOYISH GIRL! SHE’S NOT PRETTY, JUST DUMP HER! SHE’S JUST A WASTE OF SPACE. SHE SHOULD JUST DIE ALREADY” yelled the girl as she held her red cheek
Reiji’s eyes were clouded with blinded rage as he lunged forward. Subaru was trailing behind Ayato, Laito and Kanato when he heard some yelling. He and his older brothers turned to look, there they saw Reiji the second eldest, hit a female student mind sentence. They were all stunned. 
Before Reiji could lunge forward Shu had appeared out of nowhere and pulled his younger brother away. The other younger brother rushed in to calm Reiji down and to help Shu hold back their brother. There was a crowd showing up by now and some male students being the white knights started to yell at the Sakamakis, this only angered Reiji more. Shu was struggling with Subaru trying to hold Reiji while Laito was helping the injured girl up and trying to calm everyone down; Reiji was thrashing around telling his brothers to let him go and teach the girl some manners (with a bit more colorful language)
"Ayato, call (Name)" Shu demeaned his little brother
"She said she was on a trip with the school this evening, she said so before coming to school with us," Ayato explained
"I didn't ask, where she was, Ayato. I asked you to call her.Now." Shu hissed at him.
Shu and Subaru pulled him away as best as they could, Reiji insitided that he was fine. Told them that they didn’t need to be addressed to (Name). However, Shu insisted that it was a serious matter and she had every right to know especially since she was somewhat involved. This caused a ‘small’ argument between the two older brothers; about how Shu barely does anything and is always lying about and he chooses now to do something. Solely because it could get Reiji in trouble and questioned by (Name). 
Shu argued that he could care less if it got Reiji in trouble, it only mattered that (Name) had every right to know of his actions and the sudden change in his character. Ayato had called (Name), who was worried and angry at the whole incident. Boy was Ayato shocked to hear her yell, it made him kinda nervous trying to recall all the details as requested by her. 
It wasn't that long till the school had finished and Reiji was in the limo ignoring everyone and anyone who questioned him. He had already had to deal with a close call to a suspension from their principal and thus was in no mood to speak to anyone else regarding the topic.
Reiji was waiting for the rest of his siblings to arrive, however he spotted the bus that had brought the students back from their field trip. Reiji froze in his spot seeing (Name) walking to the limo, Reiji told himself that his brothers probably had forgotten to tell her about the incident. He kept himself composed as he watched make her way to the limo with unnerving calmness
"(Name) how was the trip?" he asked, eyeing her a little
"Fine? Reiji, you never ask me that kind of thing?" It was her turn to eye him up and down.
(Name) was right, Reiji wasn't the one to ask; how someone's day was. Regardless if it were his girlfriend or not, he just wasn't like that, he knew had already messed up already and was giving up his cover
"Reiji, do you have any homework to do? Oh and please don’t lie to me" she said eyeing him
"Unfortunately… No" he sighed
"Good, then is it alright if I ask you to come by my place… I want to talk to you privately at my place if you are more comfortable where there is no overhearing ears?" She sent a small glare at the brothers who were listening to them.
"...I believe it would be more comfortable, in the private of your own place" Reiji agreed
"Then let's walk"  she asked him with her arms crossed waiting for him.
With some hesitance Reiji got out of the limo and walked his girlfriend to her place. The walk between them was quiet which was normal but it made Reiji worried for some reason, while (Name) on the other hand; was thinking as to why Ayato had called her and what could have triggered Reiji to act so out of character that would make him to physically harm a female student in public like that.
Finally the two arrived at (Name)'s house, she opened the door for him. He stands in her living room and waits for (Name) to either one of the two 1) yell at him or 2) start throwing something at him. But her reaction was much different to what he thought what would have happened
"Sit down" she tells him calmly.
Just like a dog, he sits down on her couch. He leans back, pushing his glasses up to hide his nervousness. There was a moment of silence as (Name) eventually took a seat in front of him
"What happened?" she said calmly
"...Well there’s no point in lying here. The woman whom I had injured, she had horrible manners and disobeyed my orders; when I told her to lower her voice, as there were already a group forming around us. In the end, I lost my patience " Reiji explains calmly
"What was she saying?" his girlfriend questioned with her arms crossed
"Just complete and utter nonsense, I will admit; that I was careless and let my emotions get involved. I should not have not let my emotions cloud my judgement" He explains looking past her
"What nonsense, was she talking about? Knowing you, You could care less if someone was talking bad about you or your brothers. So instead of asking ‘what she was talking about’ let me ask, Who was she talking about?" (Name) looked him in the eyes.
Reiji never enjoyed being interrogated by his girlfriend, as she always makes eye contact with him to see if he is lying or not. She was surprisingly good with profiling him, that was one of the reasons as to what allured him to her. She knew exactly by his tone if he were lying, his body language if he was mad or sad, she could even tell what he was thinking from time to time; usually when his guard was down. 
However, he didn't like that fact her stare could be just as cold as his own and unfortunately for him, she was giving him the coldest glare she had. To ensure that he told her the truth
"You..." he replied giving in
"Me? Why would you hit someone over me?" she sounded almost shocked
"May I ask you some questions then? I mean, it's only mutual" (Name) nods at Reiji's request
"Are you aware of the rumours about you; that is within the school” It was his turn, to stare in  search for answers
"....Yes I am aware of the rumours about myself" she glared slightly
"I see, if I ask you to clarify my suspicion on one of the rumours. Will you tell me truthfully  whether it is true or not" he said seriously to her.
It was (Name)’s turn to get quiet. She gave it some thoughts but eventually gave in with a sigh of defeat she agreed to speak the truth; the anxiety washed over her as she gave a nervous gulp.
"While I was in Chemistry class, a group of girls began to talk about you; saying that they heard from a friend that used to go to your old school. The rumour was that you self-harmed. Is this true" He watched her reaction
"And as we walked out she had pulled me aside as class ended and proceeded to talk to me about the silly rumour, she began to raise her voice when I told her to lower her voice but she ignored it. She continued to say that you self-harmed and have tried to kill yourself a few times...and then I just blacked out." He finished
"So bottom line is, can you confirm to me that all she said was just silly nonsense" he added
She stood up and turned away from him so she could recollect herself, she wanted to believe this was all just a bad dream. But she knew far too well that this was her reality, he needed to find one way or another
He stood up silently made his way to her, so many emotions swirled within him. He wanted answers but he knows it is a very delicate topic for her, that was as much as he knew from her reaction. Well he could tell what he feared, the rumors were true; and that pained him so much more.
"Reiji Leave" she warned him
"(Name)" he grabbed her arm
She yanks her arm away from him, he glares at her harshness and coldness. He saw her shake holding back her stubborn sobs that she tried to hold back, he softened his gaze. He embraced her from behind. They were both known to dislike hugs, not because of physical contact… but because you can never trust a hug, it’s just a way to hide your face.
As he held her the sob crashed out of her, she had fallen to her knees. Reiji stayed by her side comforting her as she let out everything, apologizing and rambling on and on. He let her vent, it was what she needed. Most and he was willing to be there for her no matter how low she gets, he will always be there to bring her back better than ever to her full potential.
After that incident, he had asked (Name) to take a week off of school, to stay at his mansion where he could keep an eye one her at all times. Yes at first, she complained about it but she kind of enjoyed the fact Reiji was worried about her. It was something really out of character for him, but she also enjoyed the other brothers' company. They were kind enough to not drink her blood. 
She usually stayed in Reiji's room reading some of the books he had there, she obviously knew not to snoop around but it didn’t stop her from looking around.
Reiji still went to school as he was the typical A class student, never missing a day off school or handing in things late. But when he came home, he made sure to do his homework or study in his room as (Name) would sometimes help him out with writing things that somewhat need to use emotion rather than just text and facts.
On the last week of school as it was finishing for the year and all his exams were finished and (Name) also finished her exams for the year, she was yes a year level under him but she was doing mostly advanced classes in Mathematics, English, Chemistry and forensics, and lastly her languages. And while she had time off she had her teachers email her the works so she could finish them at "Home" while she was on leave. Reiji obviously let her take the exams at school, and when they were done she would go "home".
Friday, the last day. Reiji finished school early and he and his 5 other brothers headed to the limo with Yui following close behind
"Reiji... I picked up (Name)'s report card for her" Yui said, handing him the report card.
Looking over the report card, Reiji lets a small smile slip out to see she has all A+ on all her core subjects and her selected ones. He pushed up his glasses and cleared out his throat slightly
"Is that a smile I see Brother~"  Laito teased
"Yes it is, seeing that she is the only person who manages to have wonderful grades unlike the rest of you. She even does Advanced classes, the quality of work that I Myself get which is more of university standardized" he gloated 
"Ts, I thought Ayato was supposed to be the bragger between us" Subaru smirked
"At least I "Brag" when it's needed" Reiji smirked.
Finally,  arriving at the mansion Reiji used his teleportation, and already knew that she was in his room. When he arrived to give the good news, he saw that (Name)'s hair was wet. She had taken a shower, she was putting on her hoodie when he noticed the scars on her thighs, she noticed that he was in the room and was looking at her; she stood there like a deer in headlights
"(Name)..."
"....Reiji I can assure you that they are old scars-" she attempted to argue
"To be exact, they are what seems to be a week old...why?" he asked, glaring at her a little.
(Name) knew the glare was because he was worried, but she didn't want to explain why she did it. She muttered that she didn't want to talk about it right now.
He moved to hug her; taking one of her arms he lifted the sleeve seeing the scars that were old, some, years old some months old. He gently places his lips kissing the scars that coated her skin.
"I still think you're beautiful… and I don't ever wanna lose my best friend" he muttered.
(Name) blushed darkly at his action. Looking at her with a side glance, his ruby eyes staring into the memorising eyes he fell for. He pulled back smirking at her reaction; her flushed face. Trying to mask her embarrassment she smirks back shyly
"Oh, quoting one of my favourite bands. I see" she teased lightly.
He pulled her into a kiss.

RIP in the Gossip Sea
[by Cosmo-P]
Everyone gets a little carried away, y’know
When they’re criticizing each other each day for everything
Acting as if this world is just a brief interval
Just a place to relieve their boredom until it’s time to go
-
I fell into despair cause there was nothing to do
My eyes were becoming cold and glassy like those of a fish
As I lurked, I simply stared into empty space
As I stared, I naturally shut down my thinking brain
-
Ahh, I’ve come to not care about anything now
But there’s something new that I have finally found out; it’s the most interesting of content, yes
H-U-M-A-N, HUMANS, of course!
-
Make no bones about it, this “gossip” has to be
Greater than any cheap trashy novel to read
They all forget that what you sow is what you reap
And that what goes around will come around eventually
-
Bashing people, though not to make them go away
Cause we all go “Rip” if they should vanish anyway
This tireless crusade of “justice” is fun, is enough
To kill people virtually
-
Acting like they’re sheep, people tend to always, believe
In what the vocal minority speaks
This is a "holy war” between the either extremes
And now those stuck in the middle can do nothing by weep
-
“Did you hear ‘bout the awful things that this person’s done?”
“See how good a person I am, advertising for this cause”
Even those SJWs aren’t warrior enough
For this great human drama touting a god-awful plot
-
Please, I just want to live out my life in peace
This all is harmless and isn’t about me, 
I’ll keep reading this content
H-U-M-A-N, HUMANS, of course!
-
Make no bones about it, this “gossip” has to be
More addictive than any music, you’ll see
So go on bashing people and hold nothing back
Come on, and join the fun of all the flaming and attacks
-
Making a fuss over some new idiot today
But after we’re bored of him we’ll just throw him away
Oh those are the cheap kind of laughs that we seek
To appease our excitement-craving needs
-
We’re all laughing too much
We make way too much fuss
We’re all laughing too much
We make way too much fuss
-
R.I.P in the Gossip Sea
You’ll sink to the bottom if you don’t know how to swim
All the fools who would use to argue with me
All ended up drowning in the sea as well
-
(Oh, that’s sad...)
(That’s so sad...!)
(Now I feel bad!!)
(But not really)
-
Make no bones about it, this “gossip” has to be
Greater than any cheap trashy novel to read
They all forget that what you sow is what you reap
And that what goes around will come around eventually
-
Bashing people, though not to make them go away
Cause we all go “Rip” if they should vanish anyway
This tireless crusade of “justice” is fun, is enough
To kill people IRL
-
Make no bones about it, this “gossip” has to be
More addictive than any music, you’ll see
So go on bashing people and hold nothing back
Come on, and join the fun of all the flaming and attacks
-
Making a fuss over some new idiot today
But after you’re bored of him we’ll just throw him away
Oh those are the cheap kind of laughs that we seek

I hope I’ll be able to continue watching
Humankind, and its amazing specimens
I hope I’ll be able to continue watching

Club Jealousy (OumaSai)
summary:  After a night of clubbing, a flirty conversation with stranger, and a few spilt drinks, Kokichi had seemingly found himself in a predicament. Who would’ve guessed Shuichi would be the culprit of it all?
notes: hihi! this is my first one shot ive posted on here!! ive also posted this on my ao3. im a huge sucker for jealous shuichi so i hope you enjoy :33
starts after cut!
“Shumai, come on! You have to go with us! It’ll be so much fun!” He exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with joy. Shuichi leaned back a bit, taken by surprise by his intensity. Kokichi had been begging him for months so join him and the others when they go clubbing. And now that he’s of the legal drinking age, that begging has only increased. Shuichi wasn’t much of a drinker. The first time he tried alcohol, he didn’t like the bitter taste it gave off. He didn’t get how Kokichi could down a whole bottle without gagging. He guessed it just wasn’t for him.
Shuichi bit his lip, staring down at Kokichi who had been glaring him down since he entered the room. His cheeks grew a tad flushed from the close proximity they were in. His eyes averted to the side, “Why? You know I don’t like alcohol.” He finally spoke, his throat cracking a bit. Kokichi frowned. He stepped down from his toes, moving into a crossed arm stance. He felt his body become colder as he moved away. His heart was now at rest as it, thankfully, had begun beating slower.
“I know that! They have fruity drinks too that I’m sure you’ll like. Just— please . Please come? For me?” His arms unfolded as his shoulders had begun to seemingly shrink. His lips had curled themselves into a pleading quiver. Shuichi could barely keep his eyes on him at this point. He knew that he wouldn’t be able to turn Kokichi down now. Not with the way he’s looking at him. A few silent moments had passed before a loud, exasperated sigh escaped Shuichi’s lips. “Ugh, fine! I’ll go…” Shuichi was always a sucker for those puppy dog eyes Kokichi gave. It was his ultimate weakness.
Once those amethyst eyes matched with his, he could feel his body shut down and go into autopilot; he had no control over his heart in those moments. It was as though Ouma knew that too. Kokichi grinned, his eyes leaving behind creases near his lids. “Yay!” He jumped up, wrapping his hands around Shuichi’s neck. Shuichi tumbled a bit at the sudden movement just before he could steady himself. He grew totally helpless, melting into the warmth beneath him. His arms moved towards his back, hugging the body back with ease. A smile had crept its way onto his lips before he could protest any further. “And you’ll drink?”
“A bit, yeah.”
“Good.”
Shuichi sent him a reassuring smile.
“Okay, I’ll get going now. I’ll text you the address, just be sure to be ready.”
His arms released him, his shoulders now feeling bare. Kokichi’s grin remained untouched as his face inched away from the male, his usual shorter stature returning. He shot Shuichi finger guns, sending him a wink. Shuichi’s cheeks grew heated once more as he waved him goodbye. “Okay, I will. Thanks.” Kokichi made his way out of the door, his windows shaking a bit from the door being shut.
Well, this was great.
At least he’d be with Kokichi. To him, that’s all that really mattered. He didn’t mind if he drank a bit but it would be worth it to see Kokichi smiling and having a fun time. His smile was contagious. Shuichi sighed, checking the time on his phone. He headed upstairs and decided to get dressed.
-
Music blasted from every corner. The club was surrounded by lights and swarms of people. The group entered excitedly, each and everyone of them smiling like there’s no tomorrow. Kaede leads the group, pointing to a table near the bar. “Over there!” The group could barely hear her over the loud music but understood what she meant when she had begun to move towards the table’s direction.
Shuichi couldn’t help but stare at Kokichi. The fluorescent lights hit his face so nicely, giving him a beautiful and youthful glow. His heart jumped as he noticed the boy smile so happily. This was definitely worth it. The group grabbed their seats, even taking a few from empty tables since they didn’t have enough. “Let’s get drinks?” Kaede recommended, pointing to the bar beside them. Majority of the group nodded or verbally answered, while Shuichi remained silent. The blonde smiled, standing up from her seat, her dress sliding down a bit. Shuichi remained still as he watched the group all stand up and get their respective drinks, all except for Kokichi.
He stayed, his eyes practically glued on him. Shuichi thanked god that the room was dimly lit. “Aren’t you getting something, Kokichi?”
“Nah, I kinda feel a bit icky so I think I’ll wait.”
His elbows placed themselves on the table top, his fingers making a bridge to hold his cheek as he continued staring at Shuichi. “You don’t have to lie, Kokichi.” He felt guilt pool at the bottom of his stomach. In actuality, he was technically lying to Kokichi, wasn’t he? He did say he was going to drink after all. Kokichi shot him a halfhearted smile, “Hehe, caught again.”
They shared a moment of comfortable silence before Kokichi finally spoke up. “Hey, Shumai.”
“Yeah?”
“Are you sure you’re comfortable?”
He hesitated, biting his lip. “Yeah. I’m fine.”
“Really? You don’t look like you’re "fine.”“ He should’ve known that Kokichi would’ve caught on to his act. It scared him how well he could read people. The music boomed in his ears, different genres of songs played over and over again. He felt dizzy. Before Shuichi could open his mouth, the group had came back. They all had drinks in their hands, some full and some half full. Shuichi felt himself shrink in his seat as the group made their way to the table.
Rantaro, seemingly tipsy already, nudged Shuichi on the side with a sleek smile. "Hey, Shuichi. Aren’t you getting something? Want some of mine?” The green haired male offered his beverage towards Shuichi, the smell intoxicating his nose before it could even get near his face. Shuichi grew increasingly uncomfortable, and Kokichi could see it. “Leave him alone, Amami.” Kokichi stepped in, inching his sit closer to Shuichi to push Rantaro’s drink away.
He gave an apologetic smile, throwing his hands in the air to show he’d do as told. Kokichi nudged Shuichi lightly to show he had his back. Shuichi smiled back the boy to let him know he was okay. “Guess I’ll go get mine. You guys leave Shumai alone or else I’ll beat your ass! Remember, I’m an evil leader!” He waved off to the group before reluctantly leaving.
Shuichi’s heart grew warm. He never knew that Kokichi would be so protective of him. His heart raced as he traced back to a few minutes ago. Now that he’s thought about it, Kokichi never really pressures Shuichi to do things he doesn’t want to do. He’s patient with him and understanding. He may not always show it but he really appreciated that. Maybe it was time for him to at least keep his promise?
Shuichi tapped Rantaro, briefly interrupting him and his talk with Miu who was already on her fifth drink. His action brought the attention of everyone at the table. His lips moved into a smile, “Mind if I get a drink?” The table cheered at his sudden change of heart. Kaede and Kaito had begun drumming on the table excitedly while Miu screamed at the top of her lungs with joy. “Finally, Pooichi! ‘Bout time you take a few shots with us, you fucking lameass!”
Shuichi couldn’t help but let out a nervous laugh as Rantaro handed him the glass. He held the drink in his hand, giving it a quick sniff. It didn’t smell too bad, not like the first drinks he’s had. Shuichi gulped, glancing around at his group of friends as all of their eyes were on him. “Do it! Do it! Do it!” They had all began to chant slowly. The pressure increased on him. His heart had been filled with adrenaline. Fuck it.
Without a second thought, he tossed the entirety of the glass’ contents into his mouth and down his throat. The fruity yet somewhat bitter drink fizzed down in his stomach. It tasted like juice, except it was more fuzzy and bubbly inside of him. The table cheered him on, even giving him a few slaps on the shoulder for his effort. Shuichi wiped his mouth, a grin on his lips. This one didn’t actually taste that bad. He wouldn’t mind another glass of that.
“Kokichi’s been gone awhile. I wonder if he’s okay?”
Kaede nudged him lightly, “Why don’t you go check on him, lover boy?” She winked at him suggestively. Her comment made Shuichi blush, embarrassed by his other friends who were acting like a bunch of middle school girls at a sleepover. “Rantaro, what was that drink you had? I think I’ll get another one.” Shuichi asked, completely ignoring Kaede’s previous comment. He laughed, “Flyin’ Hawaiian.”
Shuichi felt like giggling. Why did alcohols have such funny names?
He nodded and shot up from his seat, stumbling over a bit. He let out a few messy giggles before reassuring everyone he was okay. “Go get him, Shu!” Kaito yelled from across the club as his now “slightly” drunken legs had carried him across to the bar. Shuichi flipped Kaito off, a drunken laugh escaping him. Shuichi took an empty seat at the bar island. “One Flyin’ Hawaiian please.” A hiccup begged for an escape, but Shuichi swallowed it down before it could leave.
The bartender nodded, her hands already beginning to pour and make the drink. Shuichi took the opportunity to look around the scene. He could see multiple people dancing sloppily, their bodies heated and sweaty. The atmosphere seemingly had changed. He no longer felt uneasy. Oh no, he was damn proud of himself. He drank for god’s sakes! He never drinks. In fact, he felt so proud of himself, he wanted to share it with Kokichi. While the bartender was making his drink, he decided to look around for the missing purple haired male.
After a bit of searching, he finally spotted him. His cheeks were slightly flushed from the alcohol, but goddamn did he look cute. Shuichi’s head grew light as his feet had seemingly carried themselves over to him. He stopped in his tracks, only a few feet away from Ouma as he noticed a strange man walk in his direction. Shuichi furrowed his eyebrows, not sure who this man was or if he could be trusted. Shuichi got closer as he noticed the man begin to chat up Kokichi. He wasn’t close enough where he could be spotted but close enough to hear their conversation.
“Hey, mind if I buy you a drink?”
“Depends. If I accept said drink, will you expect something from me later?”
The man laughed, shaking his head. His eyes changed into a more flirtier glance. “Haha, it doesn’t have to. Unless, that’s what you want.” Shuichi heard the words the stranger spoke. Something inside him really didn’t like the way he stared at him like a piece of meat. It was gross. His stomach churned at the sight of the man as he placed his hands on his leg. Kokichi laughed nervously, taking another sip of his half empty glass. “So, what’s a pretty thing like you doing here alone?” He rubbed his thigh lustfully, clearly wanting to advance things further.
Shuichi didn’t like this guy. Who did he think he was? Kokichi was clearly uncomfortable. His lips sprouted into a pout, his arms crossed. “I’m not alone. I’m actually with a group of friends.” He chuckled softly, his eyes kept staring at his hand, waiting for him to move it. “Oh? So why are you drinking alone?”
“I have a lot on my mind. Look, you’re nice and all but I’m not really interested.”
“Oh come on. Don’t be like that. Besides, I’m sure your friends wouldn’t mind if we were to just sneak out of this place.” The man inched his way closer, his grubby hands contaminating Kokichi’s pure skin. Shuichi had nearly had enough. As his friend, he couldn’t let this man do this. Not now, not ever. Shuichi angrily stomped over to the pair. “I said no.”
The man laughed, his thumb now rubbing his bottom lip. “Just you wait. You’ll feel good in no time—”
Shuichi did the unthinkable. He grabbed a random discarded drink, dumping the rest of its contents on the disgusting pervert’s head. “He said no, so fuck off.” Shuichi didn’t know what was up with him. He rarely cursed. He didn’t know if it was due to the alcohol or the terrified look on Kokichi’s face that really grinded his gears. He wanted to make him hurt . He wanted to beat the living shit out of him for even laying a finger on Kokichi. Kokichi, with tearful eyes, looked up at a fuming Shuichi. Shuichi set the glass down as the man wiped the liquor from his eyes. “And who the hell are you?”
“I should be asking you that question.” Shuichi hissed as the man stood up. Despite the obvious height difference they had, Shuichi held his ground, remaining unfazed. “Why don’t you fuck off? Are you his boyfriend or something?”
“No, but that doesn’t mean I’ll allow you to lay your fucking hands on him. So, no. It’s you who should fuck off.” He challenged, his fists now balling, all of the anger he felt before revealing itself. Kokichi stood up so things wouldn’t escalate further. “O-okay, S-Shuichi, why don’t we just get out of here?” In all of Kokichi’s years of knowing Shuichi, he had never seen him so pissed. Even if Shuichi was a lot slimmer and shorter than the man, he was scared of what he’d do. Kokichi could smell the alcohol on him. He definitely needed to get them out fast. Kokichi wrapped his hands around his shoulder, tugging at it lightly as he urged him to leave. “Yeah—Let’s go.”
“Uh-huh. Not so fast. I’m not done talking to you get.” Before they could escape, the man had grabbed ahold of Kokichi’s arm, dragging him towards his body. His grip was strong and hurt a lot. “Ow…” He whimpered quietly, making sure to do it quietly, not wanting to set off Shuichi. “Fucking let him go. Right now.” He stepped forward, his hand wrapped around Kokichi’s other arm. He tugged him forward as the tension grew. Kokichi bit his lip, thanking god for his short height. He elbowed the man right in his crotch as hard as he could, his grip instantly loosening as he crippled over. He squirmed free, “Come on, hurry.” Kokichi grabbed Shuichi by the hand as he led him outside to the smoking area. Shuichi glanced down at his hand while they ran through the crowds of people. His heart raced loudly as his grey eyes remained fixated on their hands. His tiny, warm hands.
Kokichi opened the door, quickly glancing around to make sure the area was empty. Thankfully, it was. Before Shuichi could apologize, he was pushed against the wall by Kokichi. “What the fuck?! What were you thinking? Did you drink? You definitely drank! Alright, who gave it to you?! I’ll beat their ass right here, right now!”
“Kokichi—”
“No! You couldn’t be any more reckless! I do stupid shit, yeah, but you don’t have to up me! If anything, keep being your usual self. Don’t pull stunts like this, idiot!”
“Kokichi… Please let me talk.”
Kokichi inhaled deeply, trying to soothe himself. He moved his palm from the wall, crossing his arms. “Sorry, sorry. Go ahead.”
“I… I drank myself. It was my own choice to do it. No one forced me.”
“Really? Why? I thought you didn’t like alcohol.”
“I don’t.” He chuckled, giving Kokichi a softened smile. “I drank it because I promised you I would. What’s the point of going to a club if you’re not going to drink?”
Kokichi felt himself sink into a sea of guilt. He didn’t mean to pressure him into drinking. He would have been fine if he didn’t drink at all. “Why were you so angry earlier? That was so unlike you, Shumai.”
“I—I wasn't… angry… That bastard wouldn’t leave you alone.”
“Shumai. My beloved, sweet Shumai. You never curse like that. Were you by any chance jealous of him?” Was he? Shuichi knew he liked Kokichi— loved him really—but never experienced such intense emotions towards someone like that. Sure he felt a little jealous whenever he’d cling onto Rantaro or Kiibo but he knew (or at least he hoped,) that he didn’t like them in that way. Seeing someone totally new being all over Kokichi like that made him worry. It fucking scared him. What if Kokichi had actually liked him? What if they did something together and ended up falling in love? Shuichi didn’t like it. Who knew what this guy was like in reality?
“Shuichi, were you jealous? You’re taking awhile to answer.”
“Whatever; I’m not jealous.”
“You are! You totally are!” Kokichi giggled, shaking a know reddened Shuichi by his elbows. Kokichi opened up his clenched arms before replacing them with his own. “Shumai, you have no reason to be jealous. Wanna know why?” He asked, his eyes looking up at Shuichi. His chin was now resting on his chest, “Why?” He quietly questioned, his voice cracking a bit. He could honestly die of embarrassment. Right here, right now. In Kokichi’s arms. “Because,” Without any warning, Kokichi tiptoed his way to his face. Shuichi stared down at the grinning gremlin as he continued to grin from ear to ear. Kokichi pressed their lips together, making sure Shuichi couldn’t protest or stall him any further. Shuichi let out a surprised gasp as his eyes widened as he eventually melted into the kiss.
Wrapping his hands around Kokichi, he felt his tongue slip inside his mouth. He couldn’t believe he was kissing Kokichi, and he was kissing back. He couldn’t count how many times he’s dreamt of this exact moment and here he was, drunkenly kissing the love of his life. Kokichi pulled away for a breathe, licking his lips lustfully. Shuichi remained breathless as the boy wiped a bit of stray salvia from his chin. Kokichi made his way towards his ear, “Let’s get back to the others and continue this later.” Shuichi felt his warm breath on his ear, sending shivers down his spine. Shuichi blindly nodded, following Kokichi back inside still in a dazed state. Kokichi laughed lowly as he wrapped his hand around Shuichi’s.
Shuichi, for the first time his life, was thankful that he had drank alcohol.

[Translation] QUELL “Matchless People” Track 3 - Part 1
Tumblr media
Track 3, yay~! The track is 20+ minutes long so again, it’s separated into two parts. Part one is all about Issei’s side of the fight. It goes on until minute 11:03 ^^ Part 2 will be all about Ichiru~
Thank you again to Deea for the files before I got mine~! 
※ Please don’t re-post these translations without permission. Instead of reposting, please just like/reblog instead ^^
Either way, under the cut. Enjoy~!
Track 03: [兄の想い、弟の想い] “Older Brother’s Feelings, Little Brother’s Feelings”
[0:00]
  SHU: I see, so that’s what happened.
EICHI: You didn’t sleep last night, huh. No wonder I thought you were up so early.
ISSEI: I didn’t plan on being nervous but… When I started thinking of a lot of things, it was already morning.
ISSEI: But, I didn’t really feel troubled so I didn’t talk about it.
ISSEI: But, like Ichiru said, I didn’t follow what I told him.
SHU: Self-management and limits are different from each person after all. But, if you still can’t continue to be able to sleep, I think it’s important to make counter-measures.
ISSEI: Yeah, I’ll do that. I won’t push myself and I’ll discuss it with you.
EICHI: It must be difficult for Icchi when he can’t sleep, huh. That’s why he gets worried when it happens to you.
ISSEI: … Ichiru was… worried about me but I… I ignored those feelings and said too much about doing this and doing that.
EICHI: But… wouldn’t Icchi normally get mad about that?
SHU: I think so, too. The after-events of a show you were nervous about is usually used for taking a breather.
SHU: You’d want to be praised for doing your best at a huge event, right? Maybe he got oversensitive with all the strict rules.
SHU: He might have been driven to a corner, too. And so his emotions just kind of flew out.
EICHI: Exactly. I’m sure it’s that. Icchi was tired, too.
EICHI: Plus, I’m sure he’s regretting what he did as we speak.
ISSEI: Yeah… You’re right. Ichiru is very nice after all.
SHU: Do you think it’d be alright if I went to check on Ichiru now?
ISSEI: Eh, you will…?!
SHU: I might not be as reliable as Eichi though.
ISSEI: That’s not true…
ISSEI: What’s wrong? It’s rare for Shu to say something like that.
SHU: There’s just something that I thought of.
EICHI: Alright~ Then let’s leave this to Shu. I’ll go prepare some more miso soup.
EICHI: It’s the key to opening Ama-no-Iwato~ Wait a bit here, okay? (1)
(Eichi leaves)
[02:37]
  SHU: Hey, Issei.
ISSEI: What?
SHU: Have you ever… experienced being mad at Ichiru?
ISSEI: Me?! Get mad? Why?
ISSEI: I do reflect on things sometimes though.
SHU: Ichiru has told you a lot of what he thinks of you, right?
SHU: But in being rebellious, he says really strong words.
SHU: Have you never gotten mad for anything like that?
ISSEI: Not in particular.
SHU: (smiles) You say that without second thought, huh.
ISSEI: I mean, it’s because I don’t really get mad about it.
ISSEI: Plus, I said it a while ago… I think it over when he says those things.
ISSEI: I think of the time he said it and how he said it.
ISSEI: I… I’m not really good with those kinds of things so…
ISSEI: Hey, Shu. I want you to keep what I’m about to say a secret from Ichiru…
SHU: I understand. I promise I won’t tell.
ISSEI: It might sound a bit contradictory but… I—I’m always a bit happy about it. Whenever Ichiru gets angry.
SHU: Happy?
ISSEI: Yeah.
ISSEI: Ichiru normally just does things because I think it’s okay to do.
ISSEI: He says that it’s a good idea, too, but really, he’s only respecting what I want to do.
ISSEI: But, if he thinks that it’s definitely bad, he won’t let it go. He’ll reject it properly and he’ll get mad.
ISSEI: Everything about that makes me happy.
ISSEI: I can tell that he trusts me, he treasures me, and that he’s serious about it.
SHU: Serious…?
ISSEI: I’ve been thinking all this time about when he’ll get mad again since it’s been a while but…
ISSEI: I remember now. It’s from when we first ran away from the institution in Hokkaido.
ISSEI: That day… I was accused of whether I stole some money from the institution.
SHU: That happened…?! Oh, but I think I remember hearing something about thieves and such.
ISSEI: Of course I didn’t do it! But, that time, I couldn’t say anything back to the people at the institution.
SHU: Why?
ISSEI: I was thinking of a lot of things at once.
ISSEI: Things like, “Would the police believe me if they were called in?” “What would happen if they called the orphanage?” “What would happen to Ichiru if I was arrested?”
ISSEI: I kept thinking about all those things that I didn’t know what I should do at the moment.
ISSEI: I got scared the more I thought about it that… That I thought it would be not that big of a deal if I lowered my head and apologized even if I didn’t do it.
ISSEI: But… Ichiru got really mad.
SHU: Of course he would be. I’d be mad, too. To the point that I still want to go and lecture those people who accused you back at that institute.
ISSEI: … Really, what’s with you today…? For you to say stuff like that…
SHU: Even I get irritated sometimes.
ISSEI: I’m kinda… surprised.
SHU: I’m the one who’s surprised. This is my first time hearing about that.
ISSEI: I didn’t tell you because I thought it wasn’t necessary but… Now that I think about it… It’s just… I couldn’t bring myself to talk about it.
ISSEI: I thought that I was pathetic for being accused like that, and that I absolutely disliked myself when I could only keep quiet…
ISSEI: But, I just remembered it when Ichiru got mad at me.
ISSEI: That even if I made the wrong choice, Ichiru would make the right one.
SHU: The wrong choice…?
ISSEI: That the choice I made was only one possible choice.
ISSEI: But… Ichiru was right. I mean, it’s because we ran away from the institution that we met Shu and Eichi and became a part of QUELL.
SHU: Issei…
ISSEI: Ichiru always praises me for being smart but, the one who’s smartly thinking and looking at everything directly is Ichiru.
ISSEI: Even if I don’t think about how things will work out, he looks solidly at reality.
ISSEI: I’m the one who knows that better than anyone in the world.
ISSEI: That’s why… I have to reflect on things he gets mad about but… I’m proud of Ichiru and it makes me really happy.
SHU: You really treasure Ichiru, don’t you?
ISSEI: Of course I do! He’s important to me. I’m really glad that Ichiru’s my twin!
ISSEI: I’m glad that I can stay by his side. It’s thanks to him that I’ve… I’ve been lucky since I was born!
[08:10]
  (Eichi walks back)
EICHI: Sorry for the wait. Here’s some miso soup. I also made some rice balls from the leftover rice~
ISSEI: That’s great! I just got hungry, too…
EICHI: Of course~ I made some for you too, Isse.
ISSEI: Really!? Thank you, Eichi.
EICHI: You’re welcome~
SHU: Alright, then. I’ll go check on how the Ama-no-Iwato Cave is doing.
EICHI: Have a safe trip~
ISSEI: Hey, Eichi… Isn’t Shu acting a bit weird today…?
ISSEI: It’s like he’s more sensitive to a lot of things…
EICHI: He has those kinds of days, too~ I do too, you know? And you and Icchi, too, don’t you?
ISSEI: I see. You’re right.
EICHI: Yep, exactly~
ISSEI: It might be weird saying this about someone older but, Shu has some cute sides sometimes, too.
ISSEI: Like when he’s troubled or at a loss, for some reason, I think that it’s cute.
EICHI: I feel you! I totally understand!
ISSEI: And also, Ichiru and Shu are kind of similar.
EICHI: Eh, really? What part?
ISSEI: The part where they’re honest with their feelings.
ISSEI: If they dislike it then, they dislike it. If it makes them happy, then it makes them happy.
ISSEI: It’s plainly shown. Though, whether they can express it easily or not is kinda different.
EICHI: Ah… I can tell!!
ISSEI: Also, they’re both the hate-to-lose types.
EICHI: Ahhh! I can totally understand that, too!
ISSEI: I guess that’s why sometimes—Really, it’s only sometimes—that I think he seems younger and—Ah.
EICHI: What’s wrong?
ISSEI: Nothing. I just remembered what I wanted to tell Shu.
ISSEI: Plus, I really just want to eat the rice ball. I think I felt better after being able to talk.
EICHI: Ah, roger~ Maybe I’ll eat with you since it’s a rare opportunity~
ISSEI: Yeah, let’s.
ISSEI: I guess I was really nervous during the event, huh.
ISSEI: Even though the lunch they prepared looked so appetizing, I couldn’t eat it all properly. No wonder Ichiru got mad.
ISSEI: Ah—Eichi, you want to see a picture of the boxed lunch?
EICHI: Yep, I wanna~ Show me.
(To be continued)
Translator’s Notes:
(1) What Eichi is referring to here relates to the cave of “Ama-no-Iwato” from the legends. In the legend, the Japanese god of storms Susano’o angered his sister Amaterasu, the goddess of the sun, by destroying her rice fields, hurling a flayed pony and killing one of her attendants. Amaterasu was angered and was stricken with so much grief that she hid herself in the Ama-no-Iwato cave, thus effectively hiding the sun from Japan. It was only during a festival with dancing and music that Amaterasu was lured out from the cave after she wanted to find out the source of excitement.

13. I lost our baby
Alright anon you want angst, here it comes *cracks fingers* But I’m going to do something different now using @zenoobsessed ‘s OCs Zoe & Alex, based on her recent fanfic over on her @i-create-as-i-write blog newest fanfic Different Times Different Faces, the OC Queen Jin-ae we created together and this takes place back in Hiryuu’s time. This would be at least around 4 months before Lina’s visit:
“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry if only I had gotten to you sooner…” Zoe had been sobbing for the past hour in the infirmary where she and Queen Jin-ae were taken after the attack on the castle. Abi was asleep in the bed across from them due to his wounds.
 “Zoe you just blew up trying to heal Abi, you did all you could.” Jin-ae sighed, looking at the mage’s stomach where there was a scar with bright green and red. “Are you sure you’re ok after that?” she had been crying a great deal herself after what Zoe’s nurse assistant told her. “Apparently the dragon’s blood doesn’t like magic it seems…” she shivered.
 “I’ll be fine Jin-ae seriously!” Zoe was still crying as she buried her face into her friend’s shoulder. “What am I going to say to Hiryuu? I failed to protect someone so important to me and…”
 “Precious, the king is here.” Alex, the captain of the queen’s guard shook her shoulder, pulling her into a hug. “There, there. You did all you could. Even I couldn’t fight them all off with Abi’s help.”
 “Hiryuu dear…” Jin-ae sighed and looked to the side, clutching at her stomach that had just been healed recently but her clothes were soaked with her blood.
 “Jin-ae, I’m so relieved you’re safe.” Hiryuu hugged his wife right away, holding her small frame tightly. “… When Guen sensed Abi in danger my first thought was that you…”
 “I’m alright thanks to Zoe, she got to me in time to heal me before I bled out.” Jin-ae sighed, shaking her head.
 “The only thing I did right.” Zoe sobbed, hiding her face in Alex’s chest.
 “Old man, my sis would be dead right now if not for Zoe.” Shu-ten commented, standing right behind him. “I arrived just as she was nearly blown out of the castle from trying to heal Seiryuu over there.” He had rushed back of course in fear for the queen, and got there thanks to his dragon leg. “That’s why I took them all here to rest. With all that blood on the floor I knew it had to be bad…” he balled his fist. “Those bastards are going to pay for what they did.”
 Guen nodded. “My queen are you alright?”
 “Not exactly…” Jin-ae frowned, whimpering as she turned to her husband. “… I lost our baby…”
 Hiryuu’s eyes widened and he saw Zoe’s expression as she bawled out crying again, Alex was trying to soothe her by petting her hair. “Precious it’s not your fault…” he mumbled.
 “Yes it is! If only I had stayed by her side I would have been there!” Zoe sobbed. “Now they’re lost their child due to this!”
 “Zoe… Don’t please. I know Jin-ae doesn’t blame you right my love?” Hiryuu sighed, hugging his wife right away and rubbing her back. “The people to blame are those that stormed the castle, not the ones that tried to protect it. And she begged you to come with me for protection which you did.”
 Guen stiffened at that. “I should have stayed instead of Seiryuu, maybe I could have…”
 Shu-ten frowned as he pet Jin-ae on the head. “… I’m sorry sis… God dammit if only I got back to you faster…”
 “Hiryuu…. I’m sorry I’ve lost your heir.” Jin-ae sobbed into the king’s robes. “Our precious child together is gone and it’s because I couldn’t protect…”
 “Jin-ae….” Hiryuu sighed, leaning his head down to kiss his wife and brushed her tears away with his fingers. “While I am upset about losing something special we created together, I’m still glad you’re here and safe with me. I’m thankful to Zoe for keeping you alive as you’re the wind in my back and the sword at my side.”
 “Charmer.” Jin-ae smiled finally, shaking her head. “Usually that’s my department to flirt you dorky dragon.”
 Hiryuu smiled warmly as he held her close. “Remember what I told you before Jin-ae when you agreed to become my partner, that together my love, we shall build a peaceful world. We are two halves of a greater whole.”
 Jin-ae’s cheeks redden as her heart quicken in pace from her husband’s words. She pulled his head down to give him a passionate kiss, making several of the people in the room turn heads especially the other injured soldiers.
 “It’ll be alright precious, I’m sure you healed Jin-ae enough they can try again to have a child.” Alex said, petting Zoe on the head. “I know we’re all upset over the loss of the unborn child, but you still saved her and that’s what counts. I just wish you didn’t get hurt so bad trying to help heal the Seiryuu.”
 “… I’m still not sure what happened.” Zoe choked, trying to get her crying under control. “… I need to research it later… Something for sure reacted with that dragon’s blood.” She sighed as she looked at Jin-ae in pity still for her loss.
 “Hey sis, people are staring you know.” Shu-ten coughed after a moment as the royal couple kept kissing and whispering words of love to each other.
 Jin-ae pulled away from kissing her crimson haired husband to merely shrug. “Let them, I’m such an unbeautiful mess right now I need to make up for it with my lovely husband.”
 “Jin-ae I’m fairly certain that’s not a normal human custom.” Hiryuu twisted his mouth, noting how many people were avoiding eye contact and his wife was good at tricking him into thinking it was normal to make out so publicly as she lacked much sense of shame. “And you should rest, along with Zoe. I’ll come back to check on you after I see to the damage done to the castle.”
 “Alright but you owe me later, my lord.” Jin-ae said in a slightly teasing voice. “Hey Shu-ten make yourself useful and get us something to eat for big sis!”
 “Yeah, yeah….” Shu-ten sighed, heading out to go for the royal kitchen. “I’m not your damn delivery servant you know!” he smiled when turned away though, glad to see his sister alright.
 “Oh just make yourself useful already!” Jin-ae said in a teasing tone, sticking her tongue out at him as he left. She then frowned and stood from the bed to hug Zoe once Alex released her. “Zoe, really. Thank you for saving me and protecting Hiryuu. You know he’s everything to me. You can’t be everywhere and protect everyone you know.”
 “…” Zoe frowned, it still didn’t sit well with her she couldn’t find something, some sort of spell to save her friend’s child. “You need to be more careful, Jin-ae. Or else I’m sticking by your side like glue from now on.”
 “Well that would be rather kinky in the bedroom.” Jin-ae said with a grin, winking at her. “I’m all for it if Hiryuu dear is.”
 Alex held up a hand. “I’m ok with that as long as I can watch.”
 “… Is that a normal thing for humans to share their companions?” Hiryuu asked, blinking in confusion.
 “My queen!” Guen looked like he was about to have a heart attack. “Do not put such blasphemous ideas into our king’s head! What would people say if they found out….”
 “Oh please, so many have a bad opinion already about Hiryuu.” Jin-ae rolled her eyes. “Maybe they’d stop whispering nasty things about Zoe being a mage knowing she’s one of Hiryuu mistresses.”
 Zeno sighed and rubbed his head as he walked in. “What’s got Hakuryuu all upset?” he blinked at the scene before him. “Queen Jin-ae, I’m glad to hear you’re safe. How’s Seiryuu?”
 “Still asleep don’t wake him.” Zoe sighed. “… I bet he’s going to blame himself as much as I do…”
 “About what? Shu-ten seemed upset when I passed him but he wouldn’t tell me what happened.” Zeno frowned.
 “Zeno can you do me a favor? Watch over my wife and the others as Guen and I see to the rest of the castle.” Hiryuu said, patting Zeno’s shoulder as he hugged Jin-ae once more. “Be safe love.”
 “You too.” She whispered as he left, frowning as she turned to the Ouryuu. “The princess is gone…” she clutched at her stomach. “When those ugly bastards attacked Abi took out the first wave but his powers you know how he passes out. He was fighting it so hard when the second wave came and got stabbed. I grabbed his sword and tried to defend myself but there were too many.”
 “Oh no…” Zeno’s face looked horrified, bowing before her. “I’m so sorry, if only we had been more careful at the east side when they got in…. We thought the main storm up front was the brunt of their army and then they flanked the castle.”
 “Jin-ae, I’m sor-“ Zoe whimpered.
 “Zoe if you apologize one more time, I’m going to tickle that special place of yours until you scream.” Jin-ae threatened, referring to her curse mark.
 Zoe stiffened at that, quickly shutting up as her hand snapped to her back as if to block the queen’s attempt immediately, her cheeks flushed as she knew Jin-ae would do it too.
 “Is that true my queen?” Abi’s voice could be heard from the bed, his eyes were open as he lay still, tears in them as his voice cracked. “… I failed my duty to you completely…”
 “Abi don’t…” Jin-ae came over to the Seiryuu’s side, seeing he was still stiff due to the backlash of his powers. “You did all you could to protect me, don’t blame yourself.” She brushed a bit of hair from his face. “I’m just thankful Hiryuu wasn’t hurt in any of this.”
 “That’s because Zoe here had a shield on him the whole time.” Zeno explained. “Seriously nobody could get within sight of the king she was so determined to protect him…. Guen said she was starting to make us look bad.”
 “Sounds like you were overdoing it there in battle, precious.” Alex chuckled.
 Zoe just blushed, looking away. “… What? I was just making sure he came back all nice and beautiful for Jin-ae.”
 “And I thank you for that.” Jin-ae strolled back over, kissing Zoe’s cheek. “You’re the best mage ever and my most precious friend. Don’t ever forget that.”
