Operation: Time Twister - Case 1: Compiled Control

🥖 Briefing: Support Division, this is your first major case as part of “Operation: Time Twister” and definitely not the last. Unlike the Orientation, which had a set narrative from beginning to end as it was in the past prior to the formation of this task force, you will have your chance to influence the story between posted Files. Likewise, this story will be a lot more complicated as turbulence from other temporal regions beyond Earthbread is to be expected. However, if collateral damage occurs, you will be held accountable for any expenses. Here are the immediate missions that are part of this Case:

Locate Croissant Cookie’s group consisting of her, Walnut Cookie, Almond Cookie, and Roguefort Cookie within the Past Dark Cacao Kingdom and return everyone back to their proper times

Track down the locations of Cinnamon Cookie, Wizard Cookie, and Cream Puff Cookie to return them to [12/24/2020 - PET-EB-C/W] safely

Retrieve loose fragments of the Blue Cheese Watch where possible

Follow up on newfound evidence regarding White Lily Cookie, Beast-Yeast, Lilywhite Space, and the Lilywhite Capital

Locate and retrieve any of White Lily Cookie’s Soulstones if possible

——————————————————————————————

🍓🍰 Disaster Response Division Memo: A new time rift has torn open in a far-eastern region of Outer Earthbread within the Primary Earthbread Timeline. Detected temporal signatures suggest that this rift was caused by loose parts of the Blue Cheese Watch, although more evidence is needed. Intelligence reports suggest that at least three people have fallen into this rift. Be on the lookout for these people who may not appear as Cookies and more likely to look like the Witch. We will be sending Strawberry Shortcake Cookie, the High Priestess of the Pomegranate Village, and a staff member of the railway transportation services of the World of Dreams to lead the detachment’s investigations, the latter of whom were commissioned as support. As such, here are the additional missions posed by the Disaster Response Division for your team:

Assist in the gathering of testimonies from local townspeople from the region

Identify any and all immediately misplaced individuals from this region

Locate misplaced individuals that have been sent to Earthbread after entering the time rift

Return all misplaced individuals to their respective region

Create a comprehensive report on how the time rift opened in the region

Stabilize the time rift before it causes additional damage within the region

Record all individuals involved on the Subject Roster

——————————————————————————————

Case Investigations

Investigation A: The Frost Miko Incidents (Active)

Investigation B: Misplaced Magicians

Investigation C: Y3 Intelligence

Ongoing Side Investigation: The Resolvers’ Incident - Courtesy of the Disaster Response Division. Their investigation’s progress will be listed within the individual investigations.

———————————————————————————————

Supervisory Memos

Timeguard Keepers are on standby for dispatch, and we plan to send three of them. Suggest via the ask box a parallel presence of someone whom you want to see from the canon lineup as a Keeper. Selections will happen behind the scenes regardless.

Support has been requested from forward field agents. It is now up to you to service these requests at your discretion. You as the Support Division can now partially influence the story by sending asks between Case Files according to incoming requests.

The pinned post has been updated to organize AU terminology and tags and to add a few more.

The Subject Roster, Space-Time Atlas, and Inquiry Master List are under development. Remaining Subject Records that have not been processed and made available to you during the Orientation will be processed after the publication of the Subject Roster.

Subject Roster - Under Development

Space-Time Atlas - Under Development

Inquiry Master List - Under Development

How I would've envisioned "Hasbro City" (Chapter 2 - Attractions and Events)

PREVIOUS CHAPTER(s):

Chapter 1

Chapter 2

Chapter 3a

Chapter 3b

Chapter 3c

Chapter 4

Chapter 5

Normally, theme park attractions aren't really my biggest strength, but I do have a couple of ideas for attractions that would've worked (or would work for Hasbro's own theme park in Mexico).

4D MOTION SIMULATORS

"My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: The Movie Ride"

This is an idea for a motion simulator I actually just thought of when I saw "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: The Movie" on opening night with my friend. While my idea for Hasbro City never existed, I'm gonna use my OC I made for "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic", Cuddles. I'll talk more about him in another post.

Basically, the attraction would focus on my character visiting the same locations the Mane 6 did in the first movie, like Klugetown, Captain Celaeno's pirate airship, and even Seaquestria. After Cuddles touches Queen Novo's pearl out of curiosity, Queen Novo's guards chase after Cuddles as he retreats to the surface of Basalt Beach. A new version of Tempest Shadow's theme song, "Open Up Your Eyes" would've been performed, considering Tempest does reform at the end of the movie. And after Cuddles steps on Tempest's broken horn while running out of the same bear's cave from the flashback sequence, Tempest apologizes to Cuddles for doubting him, and they both go to Ponyville Hospital. Cuddles to get his backhoof bandaged and Tempest so her horn can get surgically replanted. Tempest now has a cast around her horn, which is how I would imagine the head of the Tempest mascot suit to look like, or otherwise.

Once the attraction is over, the guests walk down a dark hallway with pictures from the movie on the walls. This hallway leads to a dark room that looks like the interior of Tempest's airship.

PLAY ZONES

"Clue Mansion"

As the name implies, you enter a mansion where can visit the rooms from the actual board game. You can also meet all six of the main suspects from the board game itself. There can also be a real-life game of "Clue" guests can sign up for, where they can get a free notepad and mechanical pencil to interrogate other visiting guests, or explore where they've been. There's a certain amount of time before the real suspect is revealed.

"Nerf Boot Camp"

Try to imagine a military base camp aimed for kids of all ages. In this big open battlefield, your job is shoot the other team for points with your Nerf guns.

Untitled "Operation" building

When guests enter this building, they can view Cavity Sam's funatomy parts from the original board game, the 2007 "Rescue Kit" game, the 2013 version, and even the 2008 version that is still used to this day. There can also be a room dedicated to Cavity Sam's dog, Rex Ray, the mascot of "Operation: Pet Scan".

And not only could this be a play area, it can also be a real-life healthcare center if anyone got sick or injured from inside Hasbro City.

"Twister Dance-Off"

I actually didn't know how to convert "Twister" into an attraction. But after looking back at how "Hasbro Family Game Night 3" turned "Twister" into a dancing game, I thought about if "Twister" should be converted into an indoor dance club. Basically, on the hours where guests can play "Twister", they could stand on certain parts of the neon disco floor. If you're not looking towards playing the game, you can just dance to whatever pop music you can request. Just note that all licensed music used is strictly family friendly.

LIVE EVENTS

"My Little Pony Friendship is Magic LIVE!: The Great and Powerful Trixie"

This would basically be a magic show hosted by Trixie Lulamoon. If you wanted, other real life magicians can take part of the show too.

Untitled "My Little Pony Friendship is Magic" live show featuring Discord and Cuddles

Once again, I'll use Cuddles since my vision for "Hasbro City" never came to life. There's not really much I can explain here other than it would be like the "Looney Tunes" stage shows at Six Flags. Basically, the actors wearing mascots of Cuddles, Discord, and anyone else from "My Little Pony" would pantomime to the pre-recorded audio.

"My Little Pony: Friendship Through the Years"

Taking inspiration from Disneyland's "World of Color" and "Fantasmic!", "My Little Pony: Friendship Through the Years" would be a water show that happens every night. It features Twilight Sparkle facing off against past villains like The Storm King, King Sombra, and whichever other villains were featured in "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic". Basically, Twilight's friendship skills being put to the test. The show ends with Twilight fully confident to assume her new role as Ruler of Equestria, just like her mentor, Princess Celestia.

Mascot costumes for the villains from MLP are exclusive for this show, and not for character meet-and-greets. As for the water, hidden projectors would show footage from the show and its first theatrical film, including scenes that involve portals.

Join me next time when I will discuss possible dining and hotel reservations.

me and my friends are having a game night tonight

that got me thinking Les Amis game night

courf always suggests spin the bottle

enjolras *hates* that he's good at monopoly

bahorel and eponine are the people who have flipped the monopoly board the most

gavroche is nearly always banker and gets incredibly into the roll (jehan has many top hats and you beassured they are used for monopoly)

when playing charades or pictionary the triviumate can not team up (they can read eachothers minds)

this also means that jbm can not team up either for the same reason

and Marius and combeferre can't team up or there will be a murder and ferre is not the one who will be dying this time

the board game operation terrifies joly they've all agreed not to play it

cosette likes cluedo a little too much to the point it kinda scares people

combeferre is shit at trivial pursuit unless it's about something of his interest Vs grantaire is incredible at it

feuilly mainly attends the games night for the food and the 'good' vibes and the company poor man needs a break

twister is chaos and bossuet broke his arm and managed to break enjolras nose (again)

One of the coolest things about Neku and Sho’s respective dynamics with Rindo in NEO TWEWY is how they twist around expectations with Sho, one of the main antagonists from the previous game, being the one who gives genuinely helpful advice towards Rindo while Neku, the enlightened protag, gives him the wrong kind of advice.

While is it true that Sho is mainly using Rindo and the Twisters in order to further his own goals/agenda, every single piece of advice/information he gives them ends up being helpful in some way and stays relevant up to the end

-Don’t just overly rely on me, actually reach out and recruit others (Nagi and Shoka, who end up being incredibly important and useful)

-Synchronize all your powers/talents together in order to achieve a greater goal (Nagi’s Dives, Operation Awakening in its entirety)

-Get the jump on the other teams and take them out before they become a problem later on (W1D5 with Rindo using his time travel powers to reroute the DRS, W2D6 where he uses his time travel again to find out more about Motoi and discover the truth about him, etc)

And last, but certainly not least, warning Rindo about the dangers involved in using his powers and giving him exactly the information he needed to relay back to Kaie and Rhyme in order to save Shibuya.

On top of that, there’s a distinctive pattern where everytime Rindo/the team shows signs of trying to overly rely on Sho, he immediately threatens to leave and pushes them to achieve more for themselves via sink-or-swim. He’s the face of the game’s Hard mode for a reason.

By contrast, when Neku shows up to join the party on W3D4, he starts to unintentionally take Rindo’s place as the leader, with the Reports themselves noting how Rindo is starting to stagnate with his growth once again when he has someone to overly rely on.

This continues on up to W3D6, where Rindo actually goes against Neku’s order to not time travel in order to not fall for Susukichi’s trap.

I think what’s most impressive about this is how it’s all in character for them. While Sho has been noted above, what Neku’s advice towards Rindo is a logical extension of the lessons Hanekoma passed onto him.

Mr. H’s words is generally great life advice that still applies to the themes of both games but Neku’s specific application of it boils down to telling Rindo that no matter what happens, he needs to just let the chips fall where they may. To make the most out of a bad situation.

And while that works great for someone like Neku, his application of Mr. H's advice is exactly the sort of excuse to defer to authority that Rindo has been blindly grasping for over and over the entire game, which is shown prominently in his convo with Haz.

That he should just move on and try to accept the outcome but Rindo actively rejects that to take the ultimately harder but better road for everyone involved. To take responsibility for his actions and fight hard for what he wants instead of just letting things just pass over.

Rindo is a deliberate inversion of Neku as a protagonist. What works for the latter isn’t going to work for the former and vice-versa. And that’s perfectly okay. There’s a reason why Rindo’s theme, the World is Yours, has this as an opening line.

Triggers: vaginal fingering, biting, light spanking, cunnilingus

Chapter Two: Tongue Twister

Ghost had only just left for his mission two hours ago and you had cleaned the house, which mind you had already been spotless, at least twice over. After your midnight confessions you had been fucked seven ways to Sunday, orgasm drunk and sated in a way only Ghost had ever made you. When you woke up however? The nerves really set in. You had never had to navigate a situation like this before and now you had to dive head first into shark infested waters.

The shark just happened to be a 6’10” mouth watering Austrian Special Operative.

You were putting the finishing touches on the guest room, lighting a lavender scented candle and listening to your mood playlist, shifting your hips in time with the beat and running your hands through your hair when you felt a light touch on the back of your shoulder.

Screaming you reached up behind you, grabbing at the hand and twisting it to the side just like Ghost had taught you, ripping out one of your earbuds when you realized who you were trying to grapple with. You looked up, and up and up at König, still gripping his hand which flexed lazily in yours. You were very used to men in masks but seeing him so suddenly when you felt you had time to prepare and had been caught off guard still in your comfy clothes - short shorts and a skimpy tank top - made your skin tingle.

“Ah, hi König. Sorry I guess time got away from me. I was just cleaning.” You went to gesture to his new room and realized you were still holding his hand. He hadn’t tried to extract it, just stared down at you, his head slightly tilted to the side as he listened to your stumble through your greeting, his eyes tracking the way your lips formed the sentence. You finally dropped your hold on him and gave him an apologetic smile, shrugging a shoulder.

“You don’t have to apologize, you didn’t answer the door and Ghost gave me a key. I wasn't sure if something happened to you.” His soft, accented voice floated down, blanketing you in warmth. You felt caught in the depth of his eyes, his mask doing nothing but amplifying their intensity. The seconds of silence spun out where the two of you just stared at each other, you didn’t realize you were swaying into his chest until you had to put up a palm to stop yourself from colliding with him.

“Oh. Oops. Go ahead and get settled and I think I’m going to change.” Your retreat wasn’t tactful but he had been in your space for five minutes and already you were drawn to him like a moth to a flame? Ghost’s words from the night before echoed in your mind “Take this time with König to figure out how you two might work together…”

Did he know what you had in mind? Was he walking into your home knowing you wanted something more than acquaintances and way beyond friends?

As you pulled your clothes off, your thoughts spiraling over how you could possibly go from hearing the most consecutive words out of König in two years to having him fuck you until you couldn’t walk, there was a knock at your bedroom door. Panicking with not a shred of clothing on, you grabbed the closest thing to you - an oversized shirt and threw it on.

You opened the door to König leaning against the frame casually. Your eyes scaled his body like you were dying to do yourself and when you met his eyes that’s when you realized they were burning.

“What’s up?” Your voice came out less collected and more of a squeak. König huffed out a soft laugh. “You left so quickly we didn’t really have a chance to talk about…” He paused, thoughtfully. “Us.” You sucked in a breath so sharp it could’ve been a shard of glass. “Us?” Your heart had to be audible up to a mile away. “Yes, liebling. Us.” You swallowed and his eyes smoldered where they watched the way your throat flexed. “Uh.” He didn’t give you a chance to fumble through whatever you wanted to say. He just bent and grabbed the back of your thighs, spreading your legs to wrap around his waist, walking you both into your bedroom. You threw your arms around his shoulders to keep yourself stable, shocked silent and so shamelessly wet you could feel your panties soaking through.

He reached the bed and sat down, situating you to straddle his lap. His big hands slid up and down the bare skin of your thighs, igniting a trail of fire. You squirmed under his palms, craving the way his calluses and rough fingers felt against your delicate nerves. “Hold still, we need to talk.” König punctuated his sentence with a quick slap to the globe of your ass. You sucked in a breath, tipping your head back and exposing your throat. You wanted to please him.

Down to your core you are a good girl and you need to show him so. One fortifying breath later you level your stare back at him, ready.

“Let’s talk.” If you could see his face you imagine he would be smirking if his eyes gave any indication. His thumbs started tracing circles on your skin and it took everything in you not to focus on the sensation and stay present. He began, his voice low, “Ghost and I had a conversation about what we want and I need you to know that you call all the shots, liebling.” You couldn’t help but bite your lip.

Your men giving you power. It was heady. It was sexy. It was everything.

“Okay, König. So how do we even..” You trailed off, looking down. Still too shy to say it outloud. Too scared to voice your desires to the other half of all your fantasies. A gentle hand under your chin, brought your eyes back to his.

“Do you want me to show you?”

In a whisper you confess, “Yes.”

König shifts his grip to pick you up and lay you down on your mattress, taking his time to run his hands the length of your body. You sigh in the luxury of his hands on you but already feeling the insanity of the feelings he evokes in you rising to the surface. When he runs his hands back up to the hem of your shirt, he catches it and pushes it up until it’s covering your eyes, leaving you utterly exposed to his gaze.

König’s deep hum and curses growled in German are the only indication he appreciates what he sees. With your shirt removing your sight, the rest of your senses are on high alert so when his breath coasts down the valley of your breasts your back bows off the bed. With a palm he presses you back down, placing his lips against the spot where your heart is battering against your chest. He doesn’t stop there, moving his attention to your peaked nipple, sucking the flesh into his mouth expertly. You don’t stop the shameless moan that spills from your throat, flexing your hand against the comforter, desperately needing something to hold onto. Sensing your thoughts König grabs your hand and brings it first to his neck and then up to his exposed jaw. He uses his other hand to palm your breast, pressing kisses down your sternum, belly and hips. Your fingertips graze his cheek and you revel in the feeling of that delicious stubble, only able to imagine how handsome he is under that shapeless mask.

The first swipe of König’s tongue against your pussy sent your mind reeling, the second pass where he flattened it and flicked your clit with the tip in a tease sent you into absolute overdrive. You couldn’t stop your hand from diving into his hair, so thick and lush that it shocked you - never having really thought about his hair before. Long enough to grab a handful of but short enough to flatten under his mask and helmet. As he sucked your clit and bit down in an explosion of pleasure you gripped his hair hard, eliciting a growl out of him.

“That’s right, liebling, show me what you like.” His voice against your drenched entrance felt like sin and salvation rolled into one. The moans and whimpers flowing past your lips wildly, his steady encouragement. You felt a thick finger enter you and your back arched at the electric feel of him stretching you. “König, right there, right there.” You were starting to babble as he added a second finger and stroked your g-spot, alternating biting your clit and circling it with his tongue.

Your orgasm gave you no warning, it came upon you in a lightning strike. You shoved both hands into König’s hair and cried out his name as he fucked your pussy with his fingers and sucked on your clit, overstimulating you through one of the most intense orgasms you had ever had in your life. The knife’s edge of pleasure and pain, the sweetest ecstasy. You started to beg him to stop, your body needing to give out, the pleasure overwhelming you completely.

“Please König, oh my God, please.”

His growl was hot against your flesh.

“God’s not here little girl. Only me.”

Note: AH hi. So in planning these König kind of decided what he wanted to do instead so…I’m stoked for the next chapter.

the result of researching stories about japanese mythology, fox-wives, and binge-watching inuyasha for the 99th time in a row:

takami and tomoko, twin auspices who take on humanoid forms. my lore on them is very bare bones and subject to change but here's what I got thus far:

'takami' and 'tomoko' are just aliases. they're true names are 'raikou' and 'futen', they are the twin lords of chaos and the scourge of the east

while they appear human, the twins have pointed ears and 'birthmarks' along their faces

despite their appearances, takami is known to be a dense, wisecracking trickster who eats his weight in his favorite foods. tomoko is the mature one of the two; if takami gets too brash or if he intentionally annoys her, she'll yank at his hair to shut him up. despite her no-nonsense attitude, tomoko has a love of fashion and theater

they hail from the eastern region of koshu and are said to have been born near daitenzan mountain nearly two thousand years prior

their original forms were of raccoon dogs born with silver and black fur. because of their unique coloring, various lords and poachers of the region wished to hunt them for their body parts as they believed they would bring them good fortune. the will to survive allowed them to live beyond their natural lifespans and gain sentience and immense spiritual power

they can take on the forms of silver raccoon dogs at will to hide out or escape trouble. while under the effects of aramitama, they can transform into terrifying creatures and wreak total destruction on the lands

takami and tomoko are formidable foes in battle as they harness the powers of lightning and wind. while their ages may differ, they could rival the four lords in brute strength alone

the twins can be seen flying by at times: tomoko rides on a cloud while takami's mode of transportation are floating wheels of fire beneath his feet

tomoko has been called 'the wind sorceress' for her ability to harness deadly gusts, gales, and twisters with her fans; they're sharp enough to behead a man if he's not careful. she's also agile, swift on her feet, and can create clones of herself out of air

takami wields a naginata called 'raiden'. it is rumored to be cursed with demonic energy. besides being a polearm, takami uses his naginata as a lightning rod to channel thunder and lightning for ranged attacks

the twins operated as mercenaries during the age of blood; they served various clans on both sides of the war throughout the centuries for coin. they gained infamy for their peculiar magicks and penchant for mayhem. while awe-inspiring, the warlords at the time grew fearful of the twins' power as auspices and elected to band together in order to slaughter them. takami and tomoko narrowly escaped certain death by fleeing to onokoro in order to hide in the looming tower heaven-on-high. they took advantage of the mortals' superstitions of the island and laid low for the next few centuries

they became unofficial guardians of the ruby sea and the locals of onokoro believe that the heavy gales and severe thunderstorms, sometimes deadly, are caused by raikou and futen. they offer prayer and worship to quell the twin fury of the auspices

at some point in time, takami fell in love with a mortal named tauvane, a rare occurrence amongst their kind. this would eventually lead to his downfall and tomoko's loss of spiritual power, it was stolen by tauvane who now harnesses chaotic wind powers (wip)

takami unknowingly sired a son known as achille who inherited his father's power over the destructive element of lightning. tomoko is achille's aunt and achille can descend into a primal rage as a result of being part-auspice

#mypost. #ffxiv gpose #ffxiv screenshots #ffxiv oc #yea tomoko was partly inspired by kagura and takami is based off of the thunder brothers sshhh #i honestly like how their faces turned out #achille definitely got his facial features from takami #(and achille uses miqo emotes too it's cute) #q.

Local asshole is asshole, decides rules of physics do not apply to him.

Stockton Rush, that sterling asshole with the hubris of Ozymandias, decided that he believed in the Bulletproof Fallacy.

Bulletproof Fallacy = I have never been shot, therefore I am in fact bulletproof.

You see the problem with this.

So, in an interview in 2022, here are some key quotes via CNN:

"I'd like to be remembered as an innovator. I think it was General MacArthur who said, 'You’re remembered for the rules you break' and you know I've broken some rules to make this." 

Douglas MacArthur was not a man of genius, he was overrated and lionized right up until Harry Truman's foot met the back of his khakis.

"I think I've broken them with logic and good engineering behind me, the carbon fiber and titanium, there's a rule you don’t do that. Well, I did."

This man believed that the laws of physics did not apply to him. There are reams of articles on fatigue in carbon fiber and even in titanium.

"It's picking the rules that you break that are the ones that will add value to others and add value to society, and that really, to me, is about innovation. You know innovation is when you take an invention and you make it, you know, accepted broadly." 

Innovation is the telephone, the television, the home computer, insulin, MRI scans. Innovation is not an unclassed, uninspected, and apparently uninsured vehicle packed full of moneyed idiots who also ascribe to the Bulletproof Fallacy.

Now, not only did this disingenuous Real Man of Genius run off at the mouth about breaking the rules, dude, he could not have given a fart in a Texas twister about making sure his vehicle was fit for purpose.

Safe. If OceanGate had pursued a certification review “some of this may have been avoided,” Will Kohnen of the Marine Technology Society told CNN on Wednesday. Kohnen is president of the group’s submarine committee and described to CNN a 2018 conversation he had with OceanGate founder Stockton Rush addressing the society’s concerns. “We agreed to disagree,” Kohnen said. Kohnen drafted a letter to Rush on behalf of the group that outlined the concerns. “You are taking on a lot of risk and the risk you are taking might affect the entire industry,” Kohnen said, characterizing his concerns at the time. “We have a very good track record of safety and if something happens it would be a big impact to just…our safety record, and everybody had concerns about that.” “We told him that he should consider certifying it,” Kohnen said, describing the certification as the “gold standard” for safety. In a 2019 blog post on OceanGate's website, the company said classing agencies "do not ensure that operators adhere to proper operating procedures and decision-making processes — two areas that are much more important for mitigating risks at sea. The vast majority of marine (and aviation) accidents are a result of operator error, not mechanical failure." “There are 10 submarines in the world that can go 12,000 ft and deeper,” Kohnen said. “All of them are certified except the Oceangate submersible.” He also said a working beacon on the vessel would help searchers find it quicker "so that someone could direct themselves in that direction.”

This man was a deeply unserious person, head of a deeply unserious company, and a complete clown car of clowns waving red flags.

Twister, Part 2

Hey, @starryeyedjanai, I wrote more of this. It's getting progressively hornier.

2798 words, Teen +

-

“Do you know the rules?”

Steve would take offense at that, but he’s a little drunk and kinda high and Jonathan is definitely holding the rules sideways, so whatever. He just raises his beer with a smirk and says, “Enlighten me.”

It’s a good night. A good night, even though it’s in his too-quiet, too-empty house and his ex-girlfriend is here with her current boyfriend. Between Robin’s motormouth, Eddie’s music, and Argyle’s weed, their party of six is more than up to the task of filling up the silence and the space.

And Steve’s speakers and Steve’s parents’ liquor cabinet—but, he reflects as he leans back in the loveseat and sips his beer, he always has those. 

Robin comes swaying back into the living room from her bathroom break, spots the bright primary colors of the game box, and scowls. “Oh no, not again. I refuse, the last time I played this I ended up with grass in my mouth!”

Argyle turns and blinks bloodshot eyes in her direction. “I thought you were cool with grass, little birdette.”

“Booooo,” Steve heckles, feeling light and giddy and happy and god how come he never throws parties anymore? “You barely even got a scrape. Didn’t even need a band-aid. I got injured enough to need medical attention, and I’m gonna play.”

Eddie plops down next to Steve, a little cramped but whatever, throwing an arm around his shoulders to jostle him and grinning over at Robin. “Yeah, I popped a couple stitches that day but you don’t hear me complaining!”

“That doesn’t make it sound like a good idea,” Nancy points out. She’s tucked into an armchair and trying to look serious, but a grin peeks out around the corners of her mouth. 

“I don’t have stitches anymore, jeez, Mom,” Eddie retorts, and sticks his tongue out at her. That cracks the facade, sending her into a fit of poorly stifled giggles. “The worst blow struck was to Harrington’s hypothetical progeny.”

Steve clinks his beer against Eddie’s, trying to get his attention. “Uh, what’s a ‘geny’ and why am I ‘pro’ for it? Hypothetically.”

On the other side of the table, Jonathan blinks a few times and rotates the instruction sheet one hundred and eighty degrees. “Do we all know how to play this?”

“Let’s let the birdette operate the spinner, brochachos,” Argyle suggests. “No injuries, just spinning . . . unless she spins with it, which I do not recommend. Might get dizzy.” He nods sagely at Robin, who shrugs and nods back. 

“We should do it like a tournament,” Eddie declares, eyes sparking as he rubs his hands together in his enthusiasm. “Pair off, narrow the field, winners play each other for the title.”

“I’ll get a trophy for the winner from my room!” Steve volunteers, jumping to his feet. The energy rolling off Eddie whenever he gets into something like this is infectious, addictive. Steve has been enabling it for months by hosting Hellfire campaigns in his parents’ formal, stuffy dining room, and sees no reason why tonight should be an exception. No one dulls the harsh edges of the Harrington house quite like Eddie Munson. 

He takes the stairs two at a time going both up and down, and only almost wipes out three times. The trophy he returns with is a golden plastic cup from his long gone Little League days; it's the only thing he could find without a sports ball on top.

His friends have already shifted the living room furniture out of the way and spread the game mat out across the floor. Nancy is helping Argyle braid his hair so it won’t interfere with gameplay, Eddie is crouched in front of Jonathan, coaxing him to drink some water, and Robin is grudgingly doing some warmup stretches, apparently talked into participating during Steve’s brief absence. 

“Stevie, look alive!” Eddie pops up, fishes something out of his pocket, and tosses it. 

The throw is high and fast, but Steve jumps for it on instinct. He gives a whoop when he hears plastic rattle on plastic in the trophy cup in his hand, and looks up to Eddie beaming at him, helpless not to beam back. 

“The two highest rolls play first,” Eddie explains, which Steve nods in response to even though his grasp on what that means isn’t great. Still, he knows how to roll a damn die. 

And so the tournament begins. 

-

Here’s the thing: weed and alcohol are not performance enhancing drugs. The first match-up is Eddie and Robin, and it’s not much of a contest. 

“I didn’t want to play anyway, so I’m not even mad,” Robin admits as Steve helps her up from a fall that hadn’t even been that bad—just enough to get her eliminated. “Now I can woman the spinner.”

“Don’t you mean—”

“Nope,” she interrupts, and playfully flips him off before swaying over to where Argyle has been calling out moves from the couch. 

“Her heart wasn’t in it,” Eddie sighs, putting on a mournful pout. (There’s something about this that makes Steve want to poke at his cheeks until the dimples come out, but that is the mind-altering substances talking.) “Kinda makes the victory feel hollow.” 

“She’ll probably make all the moves for harder on purpose,” Steve points out.

Eddie brightens. “You think?”

Honestly? Steve isn’t totally sure she wouldn’t go easier on Nancy, out of some sort of girl solidarity. But he says, “Sure,” and feels quite pleased with himself when Eddie slings an arm around his shoulder in enthusiasm.

“Then by all means, good sir, let us clear the battlefield for the next joust,” Eddie exclaims. “Let the games recommence!”

The next match goes on much longer than the first one. Nancy looks determined, and even Jonathan seems to have sobered up a bit, eyes somewhat clear and movements smooth. But they end up fit together like Russian nesting dolls, Jonathan’s mouth near her neck and Nancy is ticklish. And not sober either. She slips and falls in a flurry of giggles-turned-shrieks of laughter, hands flying up to make her blouse a turtleneck.

“What?” Jonathan catches her, giggles himself as he straightens up. “What’d I do?”

Steve stops paying attention because Eddie is rubbing his shoulders, like a boxer about to enter a ring. It takes up all the real estate in his brain because. . . . When was the last time Steve has even watched a boxing match? When has Eddie, with his general disdain for sports, watched a boxing match?

And also, Eddie gives great shoulder rubs, apparently.

“Okay, Stevie, you’re up next. Get in there and take him out!”

“This is bringing out an extra weird side of you,” Steve informs him. 

“Atta boy, you got this!” Eddie sends Steve stumbling towards the game mat with a light shove and a quick smack to his ass. He laughs as he goes, shaking his head and rolling his shoulders, and he feels loose. He feels good. 

Argyle is the least competitive person Steve has ever played any kind of game against, and that might be why their round takes the longest. Where Steve plays for stability, Argyle seems to be attempting to create a new art form. Somehow, it works. 

It’s not until Robin calls out, “Left hand green!” that it ends. Instead of reaching for the nearest green circle, the dude aims for the farthest corner of the mat, reaching around Steve, and . . . overbalancing. 

“Whoops,” Argyle chuckles up at the ceiling once he finishes rolling. “Sorry man, I got lost in a movement.”

Eddie hops up from where he’d been sitting on the arm of the couch, grinning like a madman. He loops an arm each around Jonathan and Steve’s necks and nearly bashes all three of their heads together. “Fuck yeah, showdown of the Hawkins boys!”

“Can I smoke again first?” Jonathan mumbles. 

“Nooo,” Nancy protests over the top of her beer, “that’d just drag it out. Just play so we can move on to Truth Or Dare, or something.”

“Seconded,” Robin says, and that’s that. The final round is on. 

-

They square off. 

For all Eddie’s big talk leading up to the first spin, the first half of the game is fairly calm. They take their hands and feet and accept their colors quietly, all focused and feeling out each others’ strategies. (Or at least, Steve is. Maybe he misses competitive sports more than he’d realized. Maybe he should join an adult league.)

Gameplay goes on for a while before Jonathan straightens with a wince. “This was fun and all, but I’ve gotta stop. My back. . . .” He gives a tiny shrug and Steve remembers getting a vague play by play of Jonathan and Nancy’s fight for their lives at the hospital, telling him in starts and stops while sitting in an ambulance in the Starcourt parking lot. 

“What happened to your back?” asks Eddie, peering up curiously through his hair. Apparently he hadn’t gotten the lowdown on that one. (Wait . . . they’d told him about Starcourt, hadn’t they?)

“Metal chair,” Steve says, at the same time as Jonathan says, “Hospital stool.” They look at each other and shrug—Steve only a little, because he doesn’t want to throw the game by taking his hands off the mat. Close enough. 

Eddie mutters something under his breath about holding out on him, which Steve thinks is unnecessary. First of all, there’s the NDAs. . . . They aren’t allowed to tell anyone, is it their fault it solidified into a habit even after Eddie was dropped into the whole alternate dimension mess? Second of all, Eddie never asked. So, like, the blame is fifty fifty here.

But Robin calls out the next move before Steve has a chance to say so, and the game is back on. Only this time, Eddie’s strategy is wildly different. 

“Left foot red,” Robin says. 

Eddie, crouched on the farthest dots of red, yellow, and blue like a frog, grins with his entire face. He leans forward on his right hand (on green, towards the center of the mat) and swings his left leg out to the red dot on the farthest corner, next to Steve.

Steve’s next move is left foot green, and he keeps it on his own side, waiting to see what his opponent has planned. (That’s why his heart rate is picking up. It has nothing to do with the almost predatory way Eddie is staring him down, making his skin prickle.)

The next call is right foot green, and Eddie’s grin widens. He makes direct eye contact with Steve—and he could move that foot from yellow to the green right next to it, but he doesn’t. Instead, in a distorted echo of the move that had brought him down the last time they’d played, he braces himself up and swings his leg out to the green spot past his own right hand.

Now he’s spread out in front of Steve, legs splayed just shy of Steve’s arm where his left hand rests on the third yellow spot and shirt riding up a little over his flexed core muscles. Feeling oddly caught, Steve finds his eyes fixed on that sliver of skin because he’s almost surprised that Eddie has muscles. Not that—Well, everyone has muscles, obviously, and it’s not like the guy has a defined six-pack or anything, but. Steve had seen Eddie’s attempts at sit-ups a few times in gym, back when they’d still been in school, so he wasn’t expecting . . . this.

“Steve, did you hear me?” Robin complains, cutting through the mild static that had taken over his ears.” Are you even listing? Earth to Steve-o.”

He blinks hard and shakes his head a little. “Uh. What?” (Seriously, what was that. He’s not usually prone to zoning out while partying, not unless he's fall-down drunk. Which he isn't, not by a long shot. So what gives?)

“Left hand green, dingus! I’ve said it like three times.”

Steve considers. There are three open green spots left, one behind him and two on the far side of the mat. Either way he gets to move his arms from between Eddie’s legs, which is . . . for the best, he thinks. Yeah. 

“Whatcha gonna do, Big Boy?” Eddie says in a low tone, too low for anyone else to hear. When Steve gapes at him, Eddie bites his bottom lip and waggles his eyebrows suggestively.

Jesus Christ. Steve can feel his face starting to heat up, but he can’t back down from so brazen a challenge. 

He leans forward and plants his hand on the green spot just past Eddie’s. The move sends him leaning into Eddie’s space, leaning over Eddie a bit, and Steve feels a surge of satisfaction at the way Eddie’s throat bobs at the proximity. Because what, did he expect Steve Harrington to back down? Not fucking happening.

“Left hand blue.”

Eddie moves his hand over one spot, but the way he has to twist slightly for balance lengthens the line of his body and makes the pale sliver a little wider.

“Right foot blue.”

Steve’s right foot was already on that color; he slides it forward until it’s practically under Eddie’s ass. 

“Right hand green.”

Since Eddie can’t reach the green spot behind Steve, he’s forced to retreat to the other corner. It moves their faces further apart, and in the brief moment Eddie glances away to make sure he hits the spot without tipping over, Steve’s eyes zero in on where he’s biting his lip again and. . . . 

Oh. 

Uh-oh. 

It's as though that plush bottom lip holds all the answers—to the distraction, the faster than necessary pace of his heart, the intermittent electric prickle humming under his skin. Steve wants to be the one biting that lip, and he’s just left of sober enough that he nearly follows the impulse, swaying forward slightly without thinking before reining himself back in, eyes going wide.

He can track the exact moment Eddie looks back and notices, a flush rising on his own face and throat bobbing again. It’s not a reaction that says no or stop that, so Steve just sort of . . . lets himself keep staring.

“Right hand red.”

Steve, not sure if Robin is messing with them or if this is just what’s happening, moves his hand to the red spot next to Eddie’s hip. Eddie follows the motion with his eyes, only looking back up once Steve is still again. Is he breathing faster?

Yeah. Yes, he is, they both are. Steve wets his lips unconsciously and Eddie’s eyes follow that too, attention thoroughly captured as though Steve has cast a spell on him. And isn’t that so very . . . interesting. . . .

He thinks about the way Eddie always seems to flirt, and wonders how much of it is real. Quite a bit if how dilated his eyes are now is any indication, a thin ring of rich brown holding back a deep, drowning black. Only now, Steve is starting to realize that he has his own reservoir of want inside. For a while now, it seems, but it’s been biding its time until the right moment to make itself known—right before threatening to spill over.

This time it’s Eddie that Robin snaps at for not listening. 

And Steve who wins the game, when Eddie’s limbs finally give out a few moves later from holding himself up in such a spread-out position for so long. Eddie doesn’t seem too put out by it though, accepting Steve’s hand up and using it as an excuse to stand way too close for just friends. 

“Good game, Stevie,” he murmurs in that low, low tone again, and god but it costs Steve not to haul him close enough to feel the words against his mouth. “Looks like you get to keep that trophy after all.”

He lets go of Steve (whose palm is tingling, why is that suddenly a thing, it’s spreading up his arm and it’s going to be so difficult to act normal for the rest of the evening now) and pats him on the cheek with that same hand. Steve wants to turn and bite it, just sink his teeth right into the meat of the thumb rubbing along his cheekbone. He can guess from the spark in Eddie’s eyes that he might not mind. . . . 

But not in front of their friends. It’s not that kind of party, in spite of the music and the drinking and the drugs, and Steve doesn’t want to be rude and ignore the rest of his guests. 

Eddie’s hand drops with a devilish grin. “Alright, let’s keep this party going. I believe someone said something about Truth or Dare—what do you say, Big Boy? You in?”Steve, breathless and more than willing to find out where this rabbit hole leads, is definitely, definitely in.

can’t take my eyes off you (part 8)

gif by: @eddiemunsens

pairing: steve harrington x fem!reader

warnings: this isn't your first rodeo. you know the drill

word count: 3,600

summary: steve fake dates y/n for a week for a family reunion, but little does y/n know, he’s had the biggest crush on her for a while.

a/n: this is the last part! i’m absolutely so sad that can't take my eyes off you has come to an end. thank you to everyone who has been here since the beginning. thank you for all the endless love & support on this series (: steve & y/n love you all so much <3 two posts on a row? look at me go

sunday. it was time to say goodbye. your chest fills with dread and sadness. you swing your feet over the edge of the bed and sit there for a while. time to head downstairs to eat the most amazing pancakes you've ever tasted for the last time. you gently shake steve awake and he slowly sits up, rubbing his eyes.

"what time is it?"

"10" he nods and you head into the bathroom to shower. after you showered, you put on a decent outfit and headed out. steve was sitting on the edge of the bed already changed.

"c'mon harrington. it's our last breakfast here and i'm not gonna miss it" you hold out your hand for him to take and he gladly takes it. you two make your way downstairs and to the kitchen, taking a seat at your barstools as you wait for margaret to finish cooking.

"are you ready to head home, y/n? i bet you miss not having to share a bed with steve" you chuckle at diane

"shockingly, no, i'm not ready to leave. this place is so nice and 'm gonna miss it" she frowns

"dear, you're always welcome to stop by at anytime"

"really?" excitement is radiating off of you and she nods

"of course. you're family now" you smile at her and then margaret turns around.

"pancakes are done, kids. eat up" you're quick to grab a plate and put two pancakes on it, then dousing them in syrup per usual.

"what time are you two leaving?" margaret asks

"i was thinking around 2 ish" she nods

"oh! ma. i was wondering if y/n can take a bottle of wine home with her" steve says, his mouth full of food. you gently hit his arm and he looks at you with a confused face.

"don't talk with your mouth full" he rolls his eyes and focuses his attention back on his mom. she has a brow raised at him

"aren't you two still under the legal drinking age?"

"it's for my mother. she loves her wine" you hated lying to diane, but it was the only way you could get your precious wine. she nods and heads out the kitchen. a couple minutes later, she walks back in holding a bottle of red wine. she hands it to you and you take it, sitting it beside you.

"let me know what she thinks of it when she tries it" you nod, knowing damn well you'd be the one drinking it. you and steve finish up your breakfast and head out to the terrace for one last go on your beloved porch swing.

"i'm gonna miss this view especially" you say and steve nods

"it's so much different than at hawkins"

"that's because hawkins is just trees. everywhere you go it's trees"

"touche" you two sit in a comfortable silence, steve gently rocking the swing back and forth.

"can't wait to get home and tell the others how i socked your cousin in the face" steve laughs

"slow down evil kinevil, we haven't even left yet" you shrug. it goes quiet for a bit again before you start to laugh.

"what?"

"i can't wait to see eddie's reaction to it. he's probably gonna tell me 'that's so metal' or high five me" steve chuckles, shaking his head.

"sounds like eddie" you nod. you two rock in the swing for another thirty minutes before you head back inside.

"wanna play one last game of twister?" you turn to face steve and he nods, heading into the living room with you right behind him.

"mom, can you operate the spinner again?" she nods and sits on the couch as you and steve set up the mat. diane takes the spinner and spins it. you guys decided that since you won last time, you'd go first.

"left hand blue" you place your left hand on a blue circle. the game continues on for another fifteen minutes before you start to feel yourself slipping. you try to regain your balance, but you fail and end up going down first.

"ha! i win this time!"

"shut up" you grumble out and steve does a little celebratory dance.

"are you a sore loser y/n?"

"absolutely" he looks like he was expecting you to say no, so a look of shock is briefly on his face. he then holds a hand out for you and you refuse to take it.

"come on. take my hand" you shake your head

"no."

"y/n. take my hand"

"absolutely not" you cross your arms around your chest and he sighs. he then leans down and picks you up.

"steven, put me down this instant or else"

"or else what?"

"if you don't put me down you'll find out" steve continues to walk and hold you, not putting you down. you then give him a purple nurple and he puts you down.

"ow! seriously?" you shrug

"you didn't put me down so that's what you get" you walk back to the kitchen, seeing that time has went by and it was already lunch. since it was the last day, they went all out and had chicken enchiladas. you made yourself a plate and sat down, digging in. steve then sits beside you with his own plate of food.

"i'm sorry for acting immature" you say, facing him and he laughs

"y/n, it's okay. seriously" you nod and go back to eating your food.

"i'm gonna miss this food when we leave" steve nods in agreement

"time to go back to spaghettios and take out"

"can say that again" you savor the last few bites of your food. steve doing the same.

"okay. we got about an hour and a half left until we have to leave. what do you want to do?" you shrug, but then an idea pops into your head.

"one last ice cream trip?" he nods and you head out to his car as he heads back upstairs to grab his keys.

"i'm paying this time" you tell him once he pulls into a parking spot outside the ice cream parlor. he holds up his hands in surrender

"okay okay" you then head inside and the same young boy from the other day is behind the counter.

"nice to see familiar faces. what can i get you guys today?" you both tell him your order and you and steve decided to eat outside today.

"on the way back to hawkins, can we visit sal?" steve chuckles but nods

"so you two can talk about me in italian?" you shrug

"we'll see what the day has planned for us" you go back to eating your ice cream and when the two of you are done, you head back to the house. since the parlor is thirty minutes away, it leaves you with about half an hour at the house. you and steve head upstairs to pack all of your stuff. once that was said and done, you lug your heavy suitcase down the stairs and take it outside and put it in the trunk of steve's bmw.

everyone is preparing to leave and you start to get emotional. cynthia comes up to you with david on her hip. he makes grabby hands to you and you take him into your arms, holding him close to you.

"i'm gonna miss you buddy," you then look at him. "you be good for mommy, okay?"

"'kay," he nods and you smile at him, still holding him. cynthia then hands you a slip of paper with her number on it.

"in case you ever want to spend a day with him or if i ever need a babysitter, have my number" you smile, taking the slip of paper. you pull her into a hug.

"thank you so much cynthia" she pulls back from you and gives you a soft smile. you hand david back to her and wave bye to him.

"bye bye david" he waves bye and cynthia straps him into his car seat, then getting into the passenger side of the car. they back out, leaving. you then see wendy and nicole run over to you and you slightly crouch down, arms open wide. they both run into your arms and you hug them both tight.

"i'm gonna miss my girls." you pull away from them and place a hand on their shoulder.

"you two will make amazing makeup artists someday. i just know it. behave for your moms, okay?" they nod and nicole is called over by her mom. steve is standing with her and he picks up nicole. you turn your attention back to wendy and you see her bottom lip start to tremble. you frown, pulling her into a hug.

"wendy, darling, what's wrong"

"'m gonna miss you" she manages to get out between cries. you wish you could just take her with you then this wouldn't be a problem. but alas, that's kidnapping.

"and i'm gonna miss you too, sweetheart. but i promise i'll set up something with your mom and you can come spend the night with stevie and i" you pull back from the hug and wipe her tears off her face.

"that sound good?" she nods and you give her a smile

"maybe you can do steve's makeup this time" she gives you a smile of her own

"there's that smile" she giggles and you stand up, grabbing her hand. you walk her over to laura's car. just like cynthia, she gives you a slip of paper with her number on it. you thank her and then wendy gets into the car.

"remember what i said, okay?"

"okay," she nods and you shut the car door after she's buckled up. as they're backing out, her window rolls down and she yells out of it.

"bye princess y/n!"

"bye princess wendy!" you yell back, giving her your best princess wave. she laughs and you laugh with her. her window then rolls up and you turn around to see steve talking with his mom and grandma. you walk up to them and stop by steve's side. diane then pulls you into a bone-crushing hug and you hug her back with the same amount of emotion.

"'m gonna miss you diane"

"awh, i'm gonna miss you too, dear. you keep that son of mine out of trouble, okay?" she whispers the last part so steve doesn'te hear. you chuckle.

"no promises. he can be out of control sometimes" she pulls apart from you and wipes away her stray tears.

"yeah, he does" steve then speaks up

"ready to go, y/n?"

"steve, i haven't gotten to say goodbye yet" maragaret speaks up and you and diane laugh.

"i'll be waiting in the car, okay? bye ma, bye grandma. i love you both and i promise to call you when we get home safely. they both nod and you walk over to margaret. she pulls you into a hug and when she pulls away, she hands you a folded up piece of paper.

"what's this?"

"you didn't think i'd let you leave here without knowing how to make my pancakes, did you?" you give her a big grin and she smiles as well. she then pats you on the shoulder.

"take care y/n. and don't let steve drive you mad" you laugh

"too late for that" she chuckles and you bid her one last goodbye before heading and getting into the passenger side of steve's car.

"whatcha got there?" he asks, nodding at the paper in your hand

"that's for me to know and you to dot dot dot" he rolls his eyes and tells you to buckle up before he backs out of his parking spot.

"so we'll stop at sal's then we head home. correct?" you nod and the two of you head to see sal. once you get there, you're the first one out and heading inside.

"y/n! bella! i missed you" you smiled at the old man

"i missed you too, sal"

"well, what can i do for ya' today?"

"oh. uh, steve and i are heading back to hawkins and i wanted to say goodbye before we headed back" he gives you a soft smile and steps around the counter so that he's in front of you. he pulls you into a hug and you hug him back.

"that's real kind of you, kid" he pats you on your back before pulling away from the hug.

"well i couldn't just leave without a goodbye. that'd be rude of me" he chuckles and then steve walks in.

"steve-o! do i get a goodbye hug from you too?" steve laughs and nods. him and sal give each other a hug. they then pull apart from each other.

"you better hold onto y/n, okay? don't let her slip through your fingers, pal" steve nods

"i wouldn't dare let go of her" your face heats up and then sal faces you.

"tieni questo idiota fuori dai guai, ok? tiene molto a te, y/n" you give sal a smile and nod.

(sal said: "you keep this idiot out of trouble, okay? he cares about you a lot, y/n")

"don't be a stranger, y/n. come stop by and visit when you get a chance" you nod and salute him.

"scouts honor" he chuckles and you and steve bid him one final goodbye before you're back on the road to hawkins.

"what'd sal tell you?"

"oh nothing" steve groans and you smile to yourself. you then take a nap and you're woken up by steve gently shaking you.

"y/n. wake up. we're home" you groan and open your eyes. you see the sky above is cloudy, meaning it'll most likely rain later. you get out of steve's car and head to the trunk to get your suitcase.

"no need. i already put it inside" you nod and you and steve head inside your house. you shut the door behind you and sigh. back home. your dog scooby, yes after scooby-doo, came running up to you and you crouched down so you can pet him.

"hey buddy. did mrs. johnson take good care of you while i was gone?" you pet him as he licks your face and you laugh.

"what about me, scoob?" steve crouched down beside you, wanting love from the furry companion. scooby got excited at the sight of steve, since scooby was practically best friends with steve. scooby pounces on steve, knocking him over and you and steve laugh.

"someone missed you"

"i can see that" scooby then relents from steve and you stand up, giving him a hand up. he takes it and you pull him up.

"wanna stay over and watch something? i don't have spaghettios, but i do have the number to a chinese food place" steve nods and he heads into your living room, as you head into the kitchen so you can order you and steve some food. they said it'd be there in about fifteen minutes.

the food got there and you and steve ate it as you watched whatever was on tv.

once it started to get late, steve started to get up and head out before it rained.

you walk steve outside and to his car. it was already sprinkling, but a little rain never hurt anyone.

"thanks for having me as your fake-girlfriend for a week" you let out a laugh but steve didn't seem to reciprocate. matter-of-fact, he seemed off. he didn't even crack a smile at your comment.

"hey, what's wrong?" he shakes his head

"you wouldn't understand"

"nonsense. you can tell me anything steve"

"seriously, y/n. it's nothing" you furrow your brows. what was wrong. you two were just having a good time.

"steve. it's not nothing if it's bothering you"

"just... can we drop it?" he seemed agitated now and you had no clue what you had done.

"did i do something?" he shakes his head

"then tell me what's wrong. i can't exactly read your mind here, steve"

"just drop it, y/n"

"no, steve. i'm your best friend-" he seems to snap and he looks at you.

"that's it isn't it!" you're taken back by his sudden outburst. as if on cue, it started to rain harder, soaking both of you.

"i'm not following?"

"it's not like it isn't painfully obvious since everybody but you can see it!" you don't know why he was yelling now or what you couldn't see.

"see what steve? what can't i see?!" at this point, you've given up with staying calm. if he can have an atitude towards you, you can have one with him.

"that i'm in love with you! okay?!" you're taken back by his words. steve was in love with you.

"what?" you whisper. steve runs a hand down his soaking wet face, shaking his head.

"i knew i should've just gone home" he mumbles, walking to the driver side of his car. but before he can do that, you grab his wrist, stopping him.

"you're just going to give up? just like that?" he turns to face you, him now being the confused one.

"what do you mean?"

"you're just going to walk away and not hear what i have to say? what if i told you i felt the same way, huh?"

"don't say that y/n. because then you're only getting my hopes up" you sigh out of frustration

"steve. i feel the same way. god, sal was right by calling you an idiot" you grumble and shake your head

"you mean you love me too?" you throw your hands up in the air

"yes! god, do i have to spell it out for you?" a big smile makes its way onto steve's face and he pulls you into him. you instinctively wrap your arms around his neck and his go around your waist. you both stare up at each other, the rain continuing to pour.

"kiss me already, dumbass" that's all steve needs before his lips meet yours. you sigh into the kiss and steve bites your bottom lip, eliciting a gasp out of you. he uses that as leverage to slip his tongue into your mouth and eventually you two pull apart for air. he rests his forehead on yours, both of you breathing heavily.

"so, does this make you my girlfriend?" he asks and you nod. then looks up at the sky, laughing.

"y/n l/n is my girlfriend!" he yells and you whack his arm

"stop yelling. the neighbors are gonna wake up"

"you act as if we didn't have a yelling match five minutes ago" you roll your eyes and tug his hand back towards your house.

"let's go inside. i don't want my neighbors to see me getting felt up in the rain by steve harrington"

"are you embarrassed of me?"

"no. it's for your modesty" you drag him into the warm house and you head straight to your bedroom, steve following. you toss sweatpants that steve left at your house one time at him alongside a big t-shirt.

"you know where the bathroom is. and i'm sure you can get a pair of boxers out of anthony's room" he nods and heads to get changed. you locked your bedroom door after he left the room and change into some dry clothes. you go and put your wet clothes into the wash and when steve steps out of the bathroom with his wet clothes, you take them, putting them in the wash with yours. you two then head back to your room. you leave your door cracked because sometimes scooby liked to come in and cuddle with you.

you lay down on your bed, patting the spot beside you.

"don't act shy now, harrington. we literally just spent a week sharing a bed" he chuckles and walks over to your bed and climbs in beside you. the two of you lie on your sides admiring the other.

"i can't believe you feel the same way" you smile at his cheesiness

"how can i not? steve, you make me feel special. seen. like i matter" he moves a wet strand of your hair out of your face and rests his large hand on your cheek.

"baby. that's because you do matter" baby. you were going into overdrive at that pet name.

"i love you, steve harrington" you whisper and he smiles

"i didn't quite hear that. i think you need to say it again" you laugh and kiss him instead. you both pull apart from one another.

"i think kissing you is now my favorite thing in the world and i never want to stop doing it"

"then don't" you say and he pulls you into another kiss. his hands slip under your shirt and you pull away from him.

"nuh uh mister. buy me dinner first then maybe i'll let you get into my pants" he laughs and then you get an idea, shooting up out of bed. steve gives you a confused look as you head over to your record player. you grab your favorite record and set the needle down. the familiar tune starts to play and steve smiles. you hold out a hand for him.

"may i have this dance, harrington?"

"yes you may," he gets out of bed and takes your hand into his. the two of you dance around to can't take my eyes off you and even though the song ended, steve is still holding you to him.

"y/n?" he asks, looking into your eyes

"yeah?" you whisper

"i can't take my eyes off you"

Kirishima’s Mystique: Riot Rodeo!!

If it was one thing Kirishima knew was a certainty in his life, then it was this. That ever since Midnight made him a man, to when he first hooked up with Mina and then she later brought Maya in, his luck with women was surreal as it was phenomenal. So it was no wonder he found himself wondering how he kept finding himself in these kinds of situations, no that he was complaining mind you. It was more he knew Mineta would give him an earful as he cried bloody (literally) tears of bitter rage.

Case in point with his latest current internship assignment which saw called and brought to a luxurious penthouse suite in one of Mustafu's 5 star hotels. The aforementioned suite occupied by renowned business woman Alejandra Coldthorn and her lover Mora Linda, owner and operator of a modest but popular little farm known as Las Lindas. The pair each possessing a heteromorph mutation type quick that made them humanoid cow women, sort of female minotaurs and the teddy bear himbo couldn't deny, they were major lookers and THICC!! Both women toned and curvy in the right places and especially packing in the T&A department with Mora packing quite the bit of muscle on her, no doubt a result of years of hard farmwork which enhanced rather than detracted from her sensual beauty while Alejandra was more plump and juicy akin to a marshmallow.

But of course how could Kirishima not notice or admire these sensual works of bovine sensual art before him? He was just glad he wasn't perving out like Mineta would be but there was no doubt the grape-head would die of blood-loss if he had heard the proposition the pseudo minotaur babes had just run by him. Hell he was still trying to process it in that sweet himbo brain of his as he sat on the couch, looking up at the two bombshells. Mora's amused expression rather reminding him of his girlfriends while Alejandra seemed serious if somewhat neutral, though there was no mistaking the distinct twinkle in those bespectacled sky blue eyes of hers.

Kirishima:"Soooo uhm, just to be clear, I heard you right the first time and you're serious about this?"*He enquired, hoping of course he didn't sound too much like a dunce. When you managed to tolerate hanging out with someone like Bakugo, it could be a struggle to not expect someone to berate you for asking a seemingly stupid question. Given especially the request Alejandra and Mora made of him, who could blame him just for needing confirmation? Of course they didn't keep him waiting long for an answer.*

Alejandra:"Serious as can be, I assure you. We want you to get us pregnant and yes, the implication is more than clear. No clinics or test tubes, you and the two of us are going to do this as nature intended..."*The business woman's tone was no nonsense, as she crossed her arms under her exquisite tits. The fact she and her lover were both in just bra and panties right certainly wasn't helping the sturdy heroics intern with all the blood rushing to certain places in his body right now. His red eyes glued to those bouncing milktanks before Mora caught his attention with a sensual giggle. Catching his attention as she bent over in a way that ensured he was locking his sight on her own hypnotically bouncing boobs.*

Mora:"As in we get naked and play us a little game of adult twister. So no need to be shy now handsome, you know you want this..."*The farmgirl purred in a husky tone. As she highlighted her remark by cupping and juggling her splendid tits, making them bounce and jiggle. Giggling with mischief knowing he was obviously staring snd just couldn’t look away, as if knowing she was getting him worked up gave her ego a nice boost. Shooting a wink as she blew a kiss his way.*

Alejandra:*Doing the same as her lover, leaning into a pose that gave Kirishima a splendid view of the valley of her cleavage, her bra clad tits so inviting as they enticed him into wanting to accept their erotic proposal.* "And really why wouldn't we want you as our choice for a baby daddy donor? You're strong, very easy on the eyes, in peak physical condition. I could go on but to cut to the point, you're more than qualified as our candidate. You came very highly recommended.."*That got Kirishima wondering who exactly he'd been with out of past encounters and hook-ups that would know these two well enough to give them just the right details they needed for them to consider this. His brain hitting the brakes on that train of thought as the Bovine Beauty pair moved to sit on either side of him on the couch. Each taking and hugging an arm, sandwiching those sculpted limbs between those plump, soft milktanks of theirs as the flesh and fur made him feel warm and tingly.*

Mora:"But hey if you need some convincing, I'm pretty sure we can get you going...just need to set your mood right..."*The brickhouse cow woman quipped sensually as she and her girlfriend kissed his face before proceeding to take turns giving him some very passionate, lusty French Kisses. Their tongues probing and exploring his mouth before they added further to the pot of sexual excitement they were stirring by kissing each other right in front of him. His red eyes widening at the raw devotion and thirst between the bovine lovers before green and blue eyes glanced his way as they gently pulled him towards them. Massaging his neck as their hands made moves to grab and remove his shirt off of him.*

Kirishima:"Oooh boy...."*Was about all the sturdy himbo could manage to say before she found himself topless, feeling the softness of two pairs of some of the biggest, meatiest tits he'd ever seen press and rub against his firm pecs. His lips and tongues joining their own in a three-way kiss, enacting a sloppy game of spit swapping tonsil hockey. Finding them take his hands and guide them to their backsides where he decided to oblige them as he massaged along their spines until his palms and fingers drifted down to grab and squeeze their glorious booties. Their deep moans indicating they very much appreciated the gesture and display as their own hands massaged his muscular torso before drifting down to caress his crotch, grinning as they felt it swell and bulge showing that their efforts to get him in the mood were baring fruit.*

If Kirishima thought things had started off hot and spicy before of course, it only got better as it escalated further when Mora and Linda got naked, the latter leaving her stockings on as they followed through with removing his pants. The sight of his cock in all its stiffening, erect and exposed glory further motivating and fuelling their own arousal. Displaying their appreciation and futher desire to have his babies as he found himself on the receiving end of the most heavenly titfuck he'd ever received to date, as the babelicious cowgirl tandem shifted between taking turns massaging and stroking him off with their luscious melons before often double teamining him. Kissing and making out with his shaft between them his groans and the pumping thrusts of his hips was music to their ears, the taste of his pre dazzling their tongues as their eyes glowed with lust.

Of course much as they would just love to have a nice drink of his rich protein, they would much rather savour having most of his baby batter going into their ovens to make some buns, after all that's what they had this absolute unit stud here for. Giving the tip of his twitching, pulsing shaft affectionate kisses as they pried themselves away from him, giggling at his adorable pout before making him regain focus as they laid down upon the queen sized bed. Posing and presenting themselves in such a way that beckoned to him, setting off those deep seated primal caveman class urges to go wild on these women and rut until his balls felt like they'd fall off. His cock twitching as he felt those mental switches being flipped, his libido taking the helm as it used his own hot blooded logic of manliness on him to imply that a real man and hero would do what needs to be done!!

And what needed to be done was to rut with 150% drive with these 2 bombshells and give them the babies they so eagerly wanted, and ooh was the luxury hotel suite's walls and ceiling echoing with the most delightful music. The sensual, erotic rhythm of muscular skin on thicc, curvy furry skin as Alejandra and Mora's deepthroated moans rang throughout the room as their Red Riot breeding bull made the bed shake and creak. His cock relishing the sensation of plowing and hammering away into the bovine beaut's warm, tight pussies as they massaged and squeezed her his length and girth, drowning it in their sticky nectar. The bedsheets in disarray as they became soaked with sweat and juices as the cowgirl duo found their potential baby daddy putting most prior Johns to shame.

Mora:"Oooooh yeah that's it, right there you stud muffin!! Oooh fuck Dunno about the streets but you're a riot in the sheets!!"*The farmgirl hottie hollered erotically, panting and moaning as Kirishima thrust into her whoile pinning her in a mating press. His shaft pounding away with pussy hammering, womb filling heavenly force as his licked and sucked on her tits. A delightful and welcome sensation for her and Alejandra naturally, after all they were going to need plenty of practice to feed the darling little ones this virile bull was going to provide them with. And he certainly needed himself plenty of nutrients to keep up this pace.*

Alejandra:"Ooooh fuuuuuck where have you been all my life..."*The usually aloof, focused business woman a far cry from her usual image of refinement and elegance as she wore an expression that could only be called ahegao. A look of being fucked so well good that her brain was going numb from drowning in ecstasy as Kirishima fucked her in a sideways spooning position. His balls smacking her clit as he hammered away, her stomach swelling from how deep his length and girth was reaching. Holding one of her stocking clad legs up in a 90 degree angle split as he squeezed one tit in hand while sucking away on the other, drinking up that delicious milk.*

Each and every position shift, switching between one on one to being double teamed by both Bovine hottie, the chivalrous stud ensured he came inside. Pumping and pouring every single drop of his baby batter into them, channeling 1% of his quirk's power into his Little Riot because like hell he was keeping these two waiting for a recharge. And oooh they more than loved every single second to minute of that womb flooding, pussy hammering, ass clapping veiny piece of heaven. Glowing neon pink hearts in their eyes as equal parts love and lust coursed through them for this young stud, relishing his sheer drive to fulfill their modest, if indecent preposal.

Doggy style, cowgirl (pun both intended and unintended), missionary, spread eagle, seated lotus, prone bone and just many other positions all ensured deep, thorough penetration. To say nothing of the thrill of positions and combinations coming from them doing two in one on him such as Mora and Alejandra often laying atop or beside one another, making out lustfully and passionately, expressing their romantic ties to one another as their stud pumped and thrust into their overflowing pussies ever welcoming embrace. Their bodies with a glistening sheen of sweat as minutes gave way to hours, the afternoon passing into the dusk of evening twilight. There was no doubt this trio was going to go at it long into the night, perhaps even all the way into sunrise.

All the while of course, hidden away in the deluxe closet of the suite was Alejandra's personal assistant Squeaks. The sweet cute little mouse girl biting her lower lip sensually, one hand under her skirt playing with herself as the other held up a camera to record every moment of this threesome breeding session. Transmitting back to the laptop in the apartment shared by Kirishima and his two lady loves, as Mina and Maya watched with voyeuristic delight. As alwayse enjoying their Red Riot being fruitful and multiplying like the absolute unit stud he was.

Let's just say it always helped to have friends in the right places, especially when certain pro heroines happened to be good acquaintances of the cowgirl duo. Which of course made it more than possible to recommend their man's sexual prowess and ensure he'd get lucky like he was right now. There was no doubt after this, that Mora and Alejandra would have their much wanted babies, God only knows what sort of Absolute Units they'd grow up to become. But hey it'd be fun to find out when the time came, that was for sure.

Timeline Inspection Record Of: The Final Battle - Prologue (No Spoilers Necessary) [Timeline Maintained]

It’s August 1945. The time is a bit past one in the afternoon. 13:13 on a 24-hour clock, if you’re so inclined. And yet, crimson twilight blankets the tranquil skies of the Vanilla Kingdom. As of now, Dark Enchantress Cookie retains occupation of the Vanilla Castle’s main keep as Pure Vanilla Cookie, Hollyberry Cookie, Dark Cacao Cookie, and Golden Cheese Cookie make their way to the Chamber of Audiences: the castle’s ornate throne room. As Dark Cacao Cookie slams open the doors to the final corridor to reveal the hordes of Cake Monsters separating the quartet from Dark Enchantress Cookie, White Lily Cookie runs in behind them, sweeping past Golden Cheese Cookie to tug on Pure Vanilla Cookie’s shoulder. Destiny has arrived, and the battle for the future begins.

With White Lily Cookie’s arrival, everyone nodded their heads silently as they began their approach towards the throne at the end of the seemingly endless hallway. Although last to arrive, White Lily Cookie was the first to break the silence. She knew she was the one that caused all of this, as she contemplated her mistakes and uttered in despair, “This is… Oh no, what a horrible sight.”

“The whole place is covered in Cookie crumbs!” Hollyberry Cookie added, knowing the weight of the coming battle and the casualties suffered by the Vanilla Kingdom’s Royal Guard and civilian population.

Dark Cacao Cookie steadied his nerve and noted the scent of the devastated hallway. His tone was as stern and resolute as it was when he first took on the mantle of king of his own snow-covered kingdom. “Foul sticky cream… The stench of burnt butter in the air…” Clearly the same expired and otherwise undesirable ingredients that came together to make the monsters that made up Dark Enchantress Cookie’s Cake Monster armies.

Golden Cheese Cookie looked at everyone as she flew behind them and thought about the destruction around her, as well as the comments of her friends accompanied by White Lily Cookie’s late arrival, unaware of what transpired regarding White Lily Cookie’s absence and prior interactions with Croissant Cookie, Walnut Cookie, Almond Cookie, and Roguefort Cookie in Lilywhite Space: a dimension named after her since the incident in the Blueberry Yogurt Academy. With nothing else to say and a demand for answers, Golden Cheese Cookie asked everyone in a sharpened tone, “What on Earthbread is going on here?!”

Pure Vanilla Cookie sighed in reply. “It’s not good. Dark Enchantress Cookie has declared war on the Vanilla Kingdom.”

In outrage, Dark Cacao Cookie snapped back. “The Cookie who has brought the Cake Monster army into our lands?”

“Yes. She attacked while I was occupied elsewhere,” Pure Vanilla Cookie said in response.

Hollyberry Cookie, without a chuckle in her voice, responded by saying, “Hah! That’s gotta be some hard flour, for such a brazen strike.”

Without another word from anyone else, Pure Vanilla Cookie rallied everyone towards the end of the corridor. “We must find Dark Enchantress Cookie quickly! Let us make haste!”

As the Five made their way through the corridor, Croissant Cookie’s Timecraft silently flew in through a shattered window at the end of the hall, landing behind a large pillar next to Dark Enchantress Cookie. Quiet as a mouse in a warzone, the four Cookies aboard disembarked from the time machine to ensure that White Lily Cookie had made it to the others safe and sound. Croissant Cookie was the first to break the silence, her voice safely muffled from anyone else by the ambient noise of war. “We made it. Does anyone see White Lily Cookie?”

Walnut Cookie looked down the hall and back at Croissant Cookie. “No sign of her or the others yet. Just at least a dozen Cake Hounds from what I’ve seen in several weekend horror movies.”

Roguefort Cookie’s patience was growing thinner by the minute. They were originally there to recover a pocket watch, not to fly straight into the heart of the Dark Flour War. Ever the opportunist, they whispered to Croissant Cookie, “Why don’t we just mount our own ambush right here? We’re in a prime position, and completely hidden from her sight. We could finish that thief off right here before she can do anything else.”

Almond Cookie sighed softly and constantly, first at Walnut Cookie’s horror movie comments, then to Roguefort Cookie’s suggestion. “And how exactly would you describe your plan here? Unlike you or the Ancient Heroes, we’re seriously unequipped to challenge a prominent Black Magic user to any extent. And although you may consider yourself a cunning rogue, you’re still a Cookie in our group. If you make a mistake in your own attempt to ambush her, everyone’s safety here would be in serious jeopardy because you compromised the security of our position.”

Pulling Roguefort Cookie aside by the arm, Croissant Cookie stared them in the eyes and delivered her own ultimatum. “Okay Roguefort Cookie, listen up. We are NOT to interact with anyone or anything here if White Lily Cookie appears as planned, as per the mission. That also includes the possibility of attacking Dark Enchantress Cookie, no matter how much I want to fight her as much as you do for the number of anomalies and trouble she’s given us rivaled by other notorious time-jumping outlaws. The dropkick in the dining room that happened earlier only happened because we were in the present era and because pre-calculated physics and trajectory in relation to the time rift opened in the dining room ceiling- which I used to get to that location to respond to prior intelligence regarding a stolen Class II Relic- allowed me to make that entrance. Not to mention, if you were to crumble her in the past at this very moment, our timeline would change dramatically with no known projected outcome. Literally anything could happen as a result of this, even if roaming TBD agents were to immediately arrive on-site to arrest you the instant afterwards. Some of us- including you- might not even exist as a result, so stick to the plan and stay here. The Ancient Heroes will take care of the rest.”

Roguefort Cookie was about to argue back at Croissant Cookie when a loud “OUTTA MY WAY!” from Hollyberry Cookie followed by the sound of heavy metallic clanging sounded through the hall, sending a horde of infernal Cake Hounds flying in the group’s general direction. One of them even managed to sweep Roguefort Cookie’s legs mid-flight, sending them into the floor as the Cake Hound started growling at them. Covering its mouth as they got back up, Roguefort Cookie knew there was no other way out as they stuck it out towards the others like a stack of dirty dishes. “Point taken. Now then, somebody please take this Hound off my hands before it sells us all out.”

Thinking fast, Walnut Cookie snatched the Cake Hound from Roguefort Cookie and threw it into the Timecraft where it stopped growling and started rolling over on the back seat. “There was no other option, we have to keep it quiet so everyone else doesn’t see us!” Walnut Cookie then pointed to the five Ancients as they approached Dark Enchantress Cookie in front of the castle’s throne, thoroughly lined with dark roots and covered in melting frosting and red cake batter.

As the Ancient Heroes approached the far end of the throne room next to where Croissant Cookie’s group was hiding, a tense standoff began. Dark Enchantress Cookie looked down from her lofty position atop her floating staff to see who dared to challenge her, monologuing to her challengers, “And so, upon the ruins of your home, we finally meet. You’re rather late… to your own demise!”

“Dark Enchantress Cookie! What is the meaning of this?” Pure Vanilla Cookie said defiantly.

“Do you know the real reason why we, Cookies, were created?”

Cutting off Dark Enchantress Cookie in her opening statement, Golden Cheese Cookie looked down- no- at equal height towards Dark Enchantress Cookie, asking her in a quite annoyed tone, “What rancid NONSENSE are you peddling now?”

“Now, now,” Dark Enchantress Cookie said, continuing to push her point. “THINK for a moment. I hope it’s not too hard. Why do we exist?”

Hollyberry Cookie spoke up to answer the question: “That’s easy—to live and be happy, all together! That’s exactly why we were brought into this world. Happiness, Dark Enchantress Cookie. That’s what it’s all about.”

“Oh, really?” Dark Enchantress Cookie asked in a calm yet steady response. “And when, pray tell, are you the happiest? When you fall down and crumble? Or when you become—dare I say it… Ha Ha Ha! SOGGY!”

“We are together, in peace and in battle.” Dark Cacao Cookie responded, sword at the ready. “This is our strength!”

“So true!” Pure Vanilla Cookie concluded, “We love and thank our Creators for our deliciously sweet bodies and unique talents! And there is no hardship we cannot overcome. Together!”

Although points were made on both sides of the room, Dark Enchantress Cookie closed herself off from her opponents, effectively knocking herself out of the debate. “RUBBISH! FOOLS! All of you! I shall show you the tragic error of your ways—right here, right now!” As she finished her last sentence, the room began to violently shake, allowing Dark Enchantress Cookie’s Cake Witch to plow straight through the walls of the throne room to reveal itself as the Madoka Magica-looking Witch it was. And floating at its palm, Dark Enchantress Cookie began her attack, charging energy into a beam to wipe them all out.

“The Cake Witch is channeling energy,” Pure Vanilla Cookie told his friends. “We must use the pause to avert her next attack!” Thinking quickly, he cast a barrier around everyone to block out the dark energy laser.

Rebounding from the laser, White Lily Cookie encouraged her teammates. “Listen, we can win this battle…!”

With the battle now in full swing, Croissant Cookie turned to everyone as the floor behind her and the rest of her group collapsed. “Okay then…! This is our cue to evacuate quickly and discreetly. NOW…!”

“Why, this encounter is getting quite interesting~!” Roguefort Cookie replied. “Do we really need to leave?”

“Yeah, we should get outta here before we get caught in the crossfire,” Walnut Cookie said as she boarded the Timecraft with everyone else. “This isn’t our fight, and it doesn’t take a detective to say that jumping in right now to perform your own heroics with them would definitely result in getting you crumbled! Now get in, Phantom Bleu! Get in before your legacy comes to a dishonorable end!”

“Tsk- fine. If you insist, little detective.” Roguefort Cookie begrudgingly climbed into the Timecraft with everyone else, watching Croissant Cookie enter the temporal coordinates of TBD HQ. And as the engine began to spin again, the Cake Witch began to falter from the Ancients’ combined strength. Dark Enchantress Cookie reeled forward in rage as it did.

“GAH!!! HOW DARE YOU!!! NOTHING CAN STOP ME! ESPECIALLY YOU!”

Trying to ward Dark Enchantress Cookie away from her own wrath, Pure Vanilla Cookie screamed, “Dark Enchantress Cookie, NO!”

But it was to no avail. The Cake Witch’s blade descended upon the Ancients, creating a blast that sent the nearby Timecraft spinning into the air and out of control. The Ancient Heroes fell to their knees as their Soul Jam floated over to Dark Enchantress Cookie. With a maliciously evil laugh, Dark Enchantress Cookie celebrated her perceived victory, “YES! Ha Ha Ha! Simply marvelous! Say goodbye to your Soul Jam. IT’S ALL MINE! I have waited an eternity for this moment. It is time to reap the fruits of my promise and share my brilliant vision with the world.”

The battle seemed lost. The Heroes faltered and their Soul Jam taken, and yet, Pure Vanilla Cookie got back up. Casting a barrier over everyone else, he ran back into the fray towards his foe, casting his own magical beam to counter her’s. The struggles intensified on both sides, the other Ancients and the Timecraft’s crew watching intently. Approaching ever closer to see Dark Enchantress Cookie’s face within a magical orb conjured by their struggle, Pure Vanilla Cookie soon recognized her smile and who Dark Enchantress Cookie really was.

Meanwhile Croissant Cookie prepared the machine’s thrusters to begin their time jump. “Brace yourselves! Commencing time jump to the Time Balance Department, 12/25/2020, in three… two… one…” …but her countdown never finished. Nearby, the magical orb expanded as the Soul Jam began to splinter and shatter into countless tiny fragments. Shortly after, a rattling explosion overtook everything and everyone in close vicinity of the Vanilla Castle. The Timecraft was thrown away into the time portal it created in a completely different direction away from their intended destination, its crew screaming either in thrills or horror. In the wake of the massive explosion, the heroes and Dark Enchantress Cookie vanished. Dark forces overtook the kingdom, crumbling the land’s civilizations away bit by bit. Stories of these grand kingdoms and their heroes faded into obscurity.

Meanwhile, the Timecraft was undertaking a time jump that had been interfered with in the wake of the Vanilla Castle’s explosion. The time machine sped uncontrollably through the time streams with everyone on board. “THIS HAS GONE FAR ENOUGH. FIND AN EXIT ALREADY!” Almond Cookie yelled as the time machine soared through the depths of space-time.

“I’M TRYING… THERE! Hang onto something, this is gonna be a rough landing…!” Piloting the Timecraft through the nearest exit rift, Croissant Cookie took the machine into a dive as it scraped against the foreign ground they found themselves in. Not the cleanest landing, but a landing nonetheless. Once the Timecraft came to a complete stop, she asked, “We’ve stopped. Is everybody okay? Did we lose someone while we went through the time streams?”

“Nope, the gang’s all here,” said Walnut Cookie, still holding a now docile infernal Cake Hound as it licked her. “Even this Cake Hound that found our hiding spot is still here. But now comes my next question concerning our situation: Where on Earthbread are we?!”

Roguefort Cookie responded, “What you should be asking, little detective, is when in time are we?!”

[micecakes]

Alright here we go, I haven't done this in years but decided to do it this year as a kinda roundup of some of the best games I've played this year and why I picked them, my kinda criteria for picking them is they have to be games I've actually finished, and actually came out this year, I don't usually include ports but remakes do make it in for me, and there will be a section near the bottom for games I did like a lot but didn't actually come out this year, so uhh let's get started i guess gonna get the Triple A junk out of the way first I think, so first off:

Spider-Man 2, rly liked the first one and the Miles Morales games and this one just continued on the story and whatever, it improved on a lot of things over the first game and I think it ended up just being more enjoyable overall, plus like, 19 inches of Venom and whatever, villains maybe weren't as good as the previous game but there was some rly good gameplay sections with some of them, tho once again i felt like the sidequests fell a bit short but they did at least have boss fights and more villain stuff in them so that was good, good game 👍

okey, game 2 is

Pikmin 4, and no i'm not editing this picture thank u, pretty much the best one in the series? just good overall and even tho i didn't 100% it i'm pretty sure the bonus mode you get is just a mini remake of the original game so that's cool, overall really good, definitely dragged near the end tho and kinda felt like it was going on too long, but still good, this was also like the only major Nintendo release of this year i played for more than like, an hour lol, outside of one dlc game 3 be:

Final Fantasy 16, this one is weird because I both loved and hated it at the same time, not rly much to say about it other than its the worst 10/10 video game i've ever played, it has some of the highest highs in anything i've ever played and its offset by some of the most boring shit in the world that made me want to eat my own head at times, it's good but it's also shit, it also runs like absolute ass for no reason and square enix were convinced it was totally 100% fine and didn't need to be patched and even when they did it still didn't fix it, there's literally no way I can sell anyone on this game, play Asura's Wrath instead 👍 okey i guess 4&5 are kinda gonna be rolled into one so:

Dead Space and Resident Evil 4 Remakes, both really good remakes of really good video games, but at the same time don't really replace the original versions? there's both no reason to play these over the OG releases but they're also different enough that it's fine for both original and remakes to exist, so worth playing if you like the original releases, i guess the only complaint i have is they cut out operation Ada and seperate ways from RE4 remake and then sold it back to us as dlc, but its actually more complete than the original version and worth the price i think, still annoying but hey, modern videos games babey

ok i guess next is like "non triple A games" and weird games that I enjoyed, not all of these are indie games but they're not triple A stuff so? 🤷

Robocop: Rouge City, its basically Robocop 2.5 the movie the video game, it's kinda jank, it's kinda slow to be expected but it's pretty fun and funny just seeing Robocop interact with people and then like, grab people off their motorcycles and throw them into exploding barrels, it's dumb it's good it rly captures the 80s jank of Robocop pretty well 👍 next is technically a game that didn't come out this year but it did because literally no one uses apple arcade so

Air Twister, this is probably the fucking weirdest game i've played in a very long time, i went in expecting to play a modern Space Harrier instead i got a lock on style shooter with a soundtrack that is just some band emulating Queen songs, no joke, i was just blown away the whole time at what was happening, it wasn't until i died and ran out of credits that i ended up in the games main menu which had so much stuff i was just clicking menus for about 20 mins and kept discovering more and more video game nonsense to play and unlock, SUPER weird, pretty fun, Yu Suzuki why did you release this on apple arcade originally and WHAT were you on when you made this sir, good job next i guess is

Graze Counter GM, an updated/sequel to Graze Counter, one of the first Shmups i've gotten in to and it's just really fun, loads of characters, about 8? stages to play, good basic gameplay mechanics, bunch of different difficulties and options to play with and it's just a lot of fun for a 20 min ish run through the game, def inspired me to play more shmups and get better at them, good game next we finally got some FPS games

Warhammer 40k Boltgun, classic boomer shooter style game, very stompy and heavy feeling but also really fast and fun, really enjoyed how colourful the game is and the fact there's a dedicated taunt button that does nothing by make you crack your knickles and yell things, only major complaint i had was there wasn't enough boss variety and one of the is kinda straight bs some of the time, but for the most part it was a lot of fun, also corvus helmet best helmet 👍 more FPS gamign which was a semi recent release?

Sprawl, it's currently on sale but its cheap anyways, from the banner art alone you can tell the dev is a MGS and Ghost in the Shell fan, and playing the game you can tell that too somewhat, really fun really gritty and pretty fast paced, has controllable slomo bullet time which is now something I love in games?? soundtrack is good and yeah, it's just good, really cool aesthetically has that very gritty industrial kowloon walled city cyberpunk look and feel to it and very satisfying to play, really good. last thing for games this year is a DLC

I really like the Xenoblade Chronicles series, and the XB3 dlc is a really good final wrap up of the game, lots of fanservice in the good way and just plays well and is fun, ties up a lot of story junk you'd want to know, I still think the XBC2 dlc is the best playing XBC thing but this is very good and just very fun, can't say too much without spoiling anything in the series lol but I enjoyed it a lot after finishing off XBC3 ok halfway there (joke) :^) next is games that didn't come out this year but I did play and really liked sooo

I got into racing games i guess around this time last year, I picked up Gran Turismo 7 in maybe January or February and played it a lot since, not the most exciting game or best or feature full but it has stuff that I like, and as a result has gotten me more into cars, car games and just made me better at it, had a lot of fun and the big update they did semi recently has just made the game better yehaw time??

not really much to say about Evil West other than it's what a new xbox 360/PS3 era action game would be like, just without the jank and with more convenience, not afraid to be cheesy and dumb its just a standard level based action game where you're a techno cowboy kinda guy fighting vampires, it's good it's fun and it's not that hard 🤠 nya:

one of the first games I played this year was Stray cuz i got it in an early sale, I had no real idea what to expect and I enjoyed every moment of it, really good aesthetics and design and an interesting post apocalypse style world you get to explore, you really end up caring about all the robot people and the cat and everything, also you get a meow button so its good 😺 more FPS game

I'd always seen this game just never picked it up, I think Severed Steel is one of my favourite FPS games ever now, the main story/campaign is only about 3 hours long, i beat it in one sitting and i think my face hurt when i was done because i was just grinning and laughing like an idiot the whole time because of how fun it was, there's also a bunch of extra modes to keep playing, the music is good and just everything about the game is fun which was my main takeaway from it, i didn't care that it was short I cared because of how much fun i had, highly recommend if you like sliding into guys, stealing their weapons and blasting them with it before they hit the ground, and with controllable bullet time if you want that too 👍👍 in a similar vein to the above, i guess the oldest game on this list is:

Outrun 2006: coast 2 coast, its the home port of Outrun 2, which includes Outrun 2 and a bunch of extra stuff, similar to Severed Steel this is just the most fun I've had with a racing/car game, it doesn't matter that i'm not super into Ferraris or that it's not realistic or whatever, it's just pure fun, and I don't have to spend a million dollars at the arcade to keep playing, so that's good woa you made it to the end!!!!!!! but wait!!! I played a lot of games this year, and even tho what I said about the previous ones was true, it was kinda hard for me to pick an actual game of the year, i did enjoy a lot of stuff but it didnt feel like anything stood out to me SO much that it deserved a "best game of the year" position for me, so the closest thing to that was:

Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon, hit a lot of plus points for me, I liked that I had to play the game 3 different times for different endings and a true end type thing, i did get frustrated early on but i kept coming back to play more, it def felt more of an action game than a mech game but customizing and messing with builds to get through fights was fun, tank legs thank u, it was also a similar situation to when elden ring came out, and everyone was playing it at the same time and sharing tips and builds and stuff which felt rly cool and nice and added to the whole experience, my only complaint is i wish it just had an option to start a second save file and do it all again, but oh well. and that's it! there's a bunch of stuff I didn't include in this, but i think this list is good enough for now, maybe next year this'll be a youtube video instead? I hope next years games are just as good, if not better, but even if they're not there's still a lot to play and explore 🐁🐁

#goty #mouse games of da year #sorry its so long !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi-! I'm here to submit my daily barrage of questions.

1.) Why is Cerulean's last name 'Neue' when he and Cobalt were both 'Helvetica's?

When married, is the last name changed to the last name of the wife? But if that were the case, then that'd mean we won't have any 'Helvetica's but instead 'Marigold's.

2.) What did Goudy do that made him call the Institute on Lilith?

Did Goudy even know that Lilith and Rose were related?

If he did know, was he just too desperate and set aside that fact?

3.) Not a question, but i FINALLY found him-!

I FOUND SWIFF!

*does a little happy dance* 🎉〜⁠(⁠꒪⁠꒳⁠꒪⁠)⁠〜🎉

Fell’s face flushed a little darker. “Yer’ tellin’ me. She had me blushing with words alone. I didn’t hear the end of it from Mr. PocketDog down there.”

He nodded to the window where the night shift Generals were on duty, watching over dinner.

His eyes glared at the Purple General, Swapfell.

Said general’s lazy grin and half lidded gaze still predatory. He would dress down any soldier for the slightest mistake. Though Fell never stopped him.

“The slightest mistake can and will cost you dearly.” And honestly, he agreed.

4.) Chapter 4 when there was a twister coming. In Chapter End Notes, you said this.

"AH LAWD HE’s COMIN!"

This term or phrasing seemed a little sus to me 👀.

Is the twister man-made or is it purely natural?

(1)

Cerulean’s last name is Neue because his fathers last name was Neue. Cobalt’s last name is Helvetica because his fathers’s last name was Helvetica.

°They do not share the same father. Their mother had two husbands due to a business deal their parents made. Poly relationships are rare, but not unheard of.

°Cobalt and Cerulean are very close and good friends, with Cobalt being the older brother.

°Cobalt was supposed to inherit the pharmaceuticals company, but gave it up so Cerulean didn’t have to struggle.

“I ain’t got the brains for that anyway. You know I’m always the brawn of the operation.”

“Then it’s a good thing you can be considered handsome… if you squint.”

°At 18, Cobalt joins the army and meets a 17 year old weirdo named “Leo.”

——————

(2)

Lilith didn’t actually do anything wrong. Goudy lost his marbles when Rose passed and barely kept it together whenever he saw Lilith. In Goudy’s eyes, no well-to-do woman should be getting her hands dirty working on a disgusting farm.

(3)

Yeah. I didn’t want to keep writing Swapfell- every time I mentioned him. So his name from now on is Swiff. I pulled it from the stronger sounds from Swapfell and dropping the vowels, leaving you with- “SW-F” or to me, it sounds like the word Swiff.

(4)

Nope. This isn’t important. Sometimes I might put important stuff in the notes, but it’s highly rare. I do admit I like to drop really important information in single sentences and breeze past it. (EX: The snook) But in this case it was for comic relief after a high stress situation.

Hello! I love you acc (and totally wasn’t stalking it) when it came to me- what are the papas and ghouls favorite board games? Like once a week they have a ‘family’ game night and every week one of them gets to pick, what would they pick? And who do you think would rage quitters first in the game? Sorry if it’s a lot, love your headcannons! ♥️

hi!! honestly feel free to stalk my account all day i am always very flattered when people tell me stuff like this LOL

i've actually already written this, you can find the post HERE! it was one of the first things i ever wrote for this goofy band cause i LOVE board games and my family has family game nights, so i was like i'm going to project this onto the emeritus family right fucking now

BUT i never wrote what the ghouls would enjoy so i'll get into that for you :) i'll be doing solely era V for now but maybe i'll add the other eras in a reblog..... who knows

ERA V GHOULS + FAV BOARD GAMES

AETHER: he really enjoys clue! he does in fact get made fun of for it though cause it's 'boring' but he likes murder mysteries okay???

DEWDROP: you cannot tell me this fucker wouldn't obsess over battleship. the adrenaline rush he gets when he hits a ship is unparalleled

MOUNTAIN: twister because he will beat everyone. he is too tall to lose.

RAIN: shockingly, cards against humanity (whether it be PG or not). he just likes low stakes games where it's more about making people laugh and enjoy each other's company rather than winning.

SWISS: his favorite game is jenga! the suspense, the terror, it is exhilarating and perfect for a fire ghoul like himself. also he gets to watch dew freak out while trying to take a block out

CUMULUS: she ADORES catchphrase, any version of it. it's fun to learn about human stuff, and she loves getting to team up with cirrus and sunshine!

CIRRUS: she loves a simple game of chess. if she's feeling less fancy, maybe she'll play some checkers!

SUNSHINE: she likes operation! it's simple and the buzzer noise always makes her jolt which gives her a good laugh.

ALSO, SINCE YOU ASKED... dewdrop, secondo, swiss and terzo would be most likely to rage quit if something doesn't go their way. mountain, aether, copia and sister don't like losing. cirrus and primo tend to take games very seriously but are polite when winning or losing. and rain, cumulus, sunshine and nihil are just happy to spend time with the family!

In early 2020, @mystery-moose decided my cinematic education could no longer be allowed to persist with such egregious holes. He and I and @eponymous-rose and @silksieve and @fistfulofgammarays started a discord server to watch movies every Saturday night, and shortly after came @probablylostrightnow and @servantofclio and @jadesabre301 and @annalyia and @bettydice, and suddenly we had something like bottled lightning held in a jar in our hands.

It couldn't have come at a better time--the pandemic struck about a month later--and what started as a way to expand my our horizons has become a precious thing. We've watched movies together, celebrated birthdays together, and we've traveled together too, to Colorado and Chicago and the Grand Canyon and a half-dozen other little gatherings across the entire country.

It's not an easy thing for a bunch of 30-40+'s to get together every week. But we make the time, rain or shine, only missing one single week where all but one of us were traveling, and the joy it's brought me (along with the knowledge of the greatest movie of all time, Kung Fu Hustle) is comparable to nothing else. Today is our slightly delayed three-year anniversary celebration.

Happy movie night anniversary, ya pineapples!
