Qui Suis-Je, Minerva? A Transformers AU One-Shot

A TRANSFORMERS: RIVALRY STORY

Entry 1:  April 26, 2054

Trying to start something brand new for myself and for me to understand my inner thoughts and fears better. If anyone from my family is reading this, I love you. I know I’m far from home but I’m doing well. 

Oh yeah, where was I…

My name is Minerva Dubois Hinomiya. Graduate of Robotics in Engineering at Daedo, Korea overseas and part-time crime detective in my home city of Paris, France. I enjoy building and solving different things when I have the time. The thrill of what comes next excites me. The idea of tomorrow and what it could bring to a humble woman like me. Coming from a loving family of a french mother and a japanese father, they have raised me well for me to get where I am now.

Anywho, I recently got a job at KSI Industries after my Robotics Teacher suggested it to me, given the corporation was funding him for his personal engineering project, which he refuses to elaborate on but I don’t mind. He’s a great man and I hope he brings luck to his future endeavors.

Can’t wait for my first day tomorrow!

Entry 2: May 3, 2054

It’s been a couple of days since my last entry, and I've been very busy.

Currently in the R & D division at KSI. The workforce are pretty inviting and kind. Boss was kind enough to tell me what their current project is. They’re currently mining unknown debris from the moon that has shape-shifting capabilities. We don’t have a scientific name for it yet, but we call it Transformium for now. They’re building a mech named Scourge Convoy. An autonomous robot that can assume the form of a humanoid and a truck at the same time.

Our leading theory is that there is a mechanical lifeforce out there that can transform at will. My team even managed to reverse-engineer and power up one of the inactive power cells belonging to these titans.

Excited to handle these things as they’re giving me the keys to the lab tomorrow for me to take notes on it.

Entry 3: May 5, 2054

Something terrible just happened, and it was all my fault.

I just was taking notes down on this energy thing my team was working on, but then I started to get a bit hasty. I noticed a wave of frequency surrounding the ball of energy in the container. It looked so pretty….

Well I was stupid, impulses got to me and I decided to touch it.

And then there were the shocks…

I almost died that day, feeling the pluses of pure light and energy seep into myself. I couldn't take it.

My body was found comatose the next morning, and they sent me to the hospital. I should be leaving it later today and I feel alright but not great. Boss suggested I should stay at home with medications to make sure I am alright.

I hope I get better soon.

Entry 4: May 10, 2054

Something is clearly wrong with me in the past few days. I don’t feel the same as I was before.

So it started when I was laying in bed the night after I returned from the hospital, resting on my arms as usual. When I then noticed my arm was…

Cold…

Cold to the touch, so much it felt like steel.

Was I dreaming? I didn’t know then.

I ignored it but then when I was taking a shower, I noticed my skin was shinier than usual. How was that possible I swear?

I might investigate in the next few days if this persists

Entry 5:  May 15, 2054

I think I’ve become a robot.

I was showering again on the 6th, that when I undressed in the mirror, I saw a gruesome sight:

My chest started to become more rigid and metallic. It didn’t look anything like a woman’s upper torso. It was slightly bulky and made of yellow steel. I panicked, but then I would become an experiment of some kind. I didn’t want that then, but then it kept on going.

My vision started to blur more often, sometimes “glitching” into that of a camera! More of my body started to become metal, in shades of blue, yellow, grey, and orange. I couldn’t even eat or use the loo, or literally any human thing in the past few days!

I can’t take it. I called up the KSI company to check on me, regardless if I become an experiment or not.

I’m simply not Minerva anymore, I don’t know if I can live my life the same from the various events that transpired….

Entry 6: March 6, 2055

It’s been a long time since my last report, and a lot has went down since!

For months I was in captivity, being a guinea pig for my former Boss to mess around with in the name of research. I kept getting shocked by their tasers to force me back into a human and reverse, which did work, but it became exhausting fast.

Somehow, a team of those giant mechanical beings we were researching on came onto the scene and attacked another project we were working on, that Scourge thing I mentioned. Turned rouge and I was rescued by that rebel team.

They call themselves the Autobots, and they’ve been a better company to me than the scientists at KSI ever could manage. 

They took me in, and gave me a small home, gave me my old detective job back to use my skills in tracking down their enemies for them. They even built me my own suit of armor out of my old car! 

Most importantly of all, they’re able to modify my hardware to change between human and machine at will without forced shocks. How cool is that!

Even with my human form returning, I think the mechanical form is my new true form. I’ve grown into it. Hell, I don’t think Minerva is the right name for me anymore…

It’s about time everyone started calling me,

Nightbeat.

Dreamer in Teyvat -Night 1- (6/?)

[1], [2], [3], [4], [5] [For the next part check Masterlist]

[Equipment: Backpack, bag, 100 mora, shield, comfortable Inazuman clothes for traveling]

You ask Gorou if there is anything you can help with. You surprised him with that question. He turn his head to the side, thinking about something. You can see his right ear twitch. Gorou looked at you again and smile. -“Thank you, but I wouldn’t want anything bad happen to you.” Ah so your help is declined but Gorou truly appreciate that you wanted to help him and his people. -“I have to go now, duty calls.” He waved you goodbye and went towards where the entrance to the village is. Now you wonder what to do next. You really hoped that you can spend time and help Gorou. Sadly you didn’t do anything to make people of Teyvat to be interested in you so it will be hard to make playable characters to like you or even just trust you… at least some of them… For now you decide to go to Sangonomiya Shrine. After passing the first bridge you notice some Sango pearls. Now that you have backpack you can take them with you, maybe you can sell them later or something. After crossing the next bridge and passing another Samurai, you make your way to Sangonomiya Shrine.

After reaching the entrance, you can’t help but be in awe, everything look so beautiful. The game is already beautiful but seeing it like this? Being now part of this world? It feels amazing. Right now you are filled with feeling to see more of Teyvat, to travel to all wonderful places. But first you need mora and learn how to protect yourself…or maybe you will be able to meet someone who can accompany you. You wonder if it’s okay for you to get closer to the shrine. The Samurai that’s standing before stairs, doesn't say anything nor is stopping you, so it seems you can go close to the Shrine. After walking upstairs you look around, there are some Sangonomiya Shrine Maidens but you can't spot Kokomi anywhere. You decide to approach one to ask a question. -“Hello! I’m (Y/n), I’m traveler and I was wondering if there is possibility to meet with Divine Priestess?” The Shrine Maiden smile to you. -“Welcome, I’m Izumi Naki, right now Her Excellency is resting in her quarters but if you wish to speak with her, you can come here tomorrow in the morning.” -“Alright, thank you very much! Bye!” you wave goodbye. -“Goodbye, may Watatsumi Omikami watch over you.” The shrine maiden bowed. That’s unlucky… but wait, there, downstairs, on one of the corals is standing someone familiar.

To think you’ll meet Heizou in here, but why is he on Watatsumi? You approach him, he must heard your footsteps because he turned his head around to see who is coming. -“Hello there~  The scenery is truly breathtaking don’t you think?” he started conversation, smiling to you. -“Hi! Yes, it’s really wonderful! What- “ you wanted to ask ‘what are you doing here?’ but that would be suspicious, after all you two shouldn’t know about each other, right? You continue “You’re not from here right? Vacation?” you smile to him. He hum in response.

-“Yes, you can say that, how about you? I can tell you’re not from here as well.” -“You’re right! I’m traveling and Watatsumi become first place I… wanted to see!” before he would ask more questions you introduced yourself. “I’m (Y/n), and you?” -“ The name's Shikanoin Heizou, sharpest and most successful detective of the Tenryou Commission!” he said that with pride. -“Nice to meet you Heizou! So…. How long have you been here?” -“Just couple days, and you?” -“I just came here today.” -“Hmm I see.” And conversation ended after this. You would like to talk more with him but you have to be careful, it would be bad if you said something by accident what you shouldn't know and Heizou is sharp, and observant. Heizou suddenly yawn, the moon finally welcomed you. -“It was niece to meet you, but I’ll call it a day! See you around~” and with that, he walk away. You watched for a little moment the scenery in front you and then you realized…. Where are you going to sleep? Maybe you should ask Miss Momoko if she let you spend night at her house… let’s hope she will accept 100 mora… But wait, when are you going to wake up? You still not sure how long you can be in Teyvat before you wake up. Well for now let’s hope one day here is not one night in your world. That would be terrible, it would be hard to do anything in one day, also you still not sure how to ‘save your progress’. Well...Let’s just go to sleep and see what happens in the morning.

Going towards village you started to wonder, what you should do in the morning if you stay in Teyvat? You can try meet with Kokomi. It would be good to go to Mouun Shrine, but going alone will be dangerous. Kokomi may not really help you with how busy she is and she may just ask some soldier to accompany you. You’re not sure if you’ll find Gorou and you’re not sure if he will have time to go with you, there is a chance he may ask some solider to accompany you as well You can try ask Heizou, he seems to have some time, but you’re not sure how he will react if he knows that there may be some fight.

[Gorou: ♥ ♥ ♡ ♡ ♡] [Heizou: ♥ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡]

Think for yourself, don't believe everything you hear

Since I opened up my other blog a few people have commented negatively, first by simply claiming that what I wrote or posted was false, then by saying their reasons. I can prove everything I say.

I had been a democrat for most of my life, and yes I even voted for Obama twice. But then I started to pay attention more and I changed my party affiliation. At first I was republican, but then I realized that they were not good either. So I see both republicans and democrats as being against the american people and our constitution. And after meeting my friend Leyenra and seeing the 2 Agenda documentaries it all started to make sense for the first time ever. So I am not democrat or republican, independent. I am an American, born and raised, and yes I am a Christian.

My posts and writings are based on what I have personally experienced and seen for myself. A lot has changed, especially in the past 30 years, that not too many people are aware of, and because of the media, we are all being deceived and divided. We are at a time in where we cannot believe anything we hear. We must think for ourselves. We must get the facts somehow and form our opinions based on those facts. One way to find the facts is to read between the lines. Another way is to listen to those who have been through it and have the experience.

We are all being lied to in general. Once you get the facts then there can be no other possibility except that we are going through a communist movement and if we all do not open our eyes we will all be doomed. Pay attention. What is on the internet today may not be on the internet tomorrow. What is in the news today can be dismissed by morning. When written laws are openly broken by political leaders and secretly changed years later, don't be blinded to it. It is part of the agenda.

Ask questions, don't be afraid. But don't "shoot first, ask later" as some of you have been accustomed to. The one thing that I do not like are people coming to me and accusing me of lying. Challenge what I say, yes, but be respectful. But learn as you go through life, before your life is taken away and you have nothing left to even defend your position.

TSUMUGI BIRTHDAY 2023

Translation of mini talks, birthday story, and phone call

Mini talk 1

Tsumugi: Wow, are all those presents for me?! Thank you so much~♪

Could it be that these gifts were went by fans?

Well then, let’s leave it here in this spot for now.

Anzu: That’s a large pile of presents…

Tsumugi: ah, Anzu-chan . Thanks for helping me♪

So all of these were sent by fans. To think I’d received this many… I would have never imagined it

Mini talk 2

Tsumugi: The project proposal that I’ve been working on with Anzu-chan is complete!

I've sent it via “hold hands” not too long ago, it’d be great if you could take a look at it

…huh? Is that not why you came to NewDi?

Anzu: I came for another matter…

Tsumugi: Hmm, I wonder if I can make some time to chat with you in the common room…

Aha! It looks like I’ll have some free time later in the evening, if that’s okay with you♪

Mini talk 3

Sora: HaHa~♪ Senpai, Anzu, hello☆! Sora came to get you because the party is about to start~

Tsumugi: Hello Sora-kun. So it’s that time already…

Sora: woah, that large pile of presents next to Senpai is amazing. But it looks like it’s about to collapse

Anzu: Shall I place them in bags?

Tsumugi: That’s a good idea. I’m pretty sure I have some paper bags seomwhere around here…

Sora: Sora will help too! These presents are filled with feelings for Senpai, so Sora will handle each one carefully♪

—————story—————

Prologue

Tsumugi: Sorry for making you wait~

Good work today Anzu-san♪

Sorry but is it alright if I put these down here? It’s more presents I got from the party….

Well then, please excuse me. Oof ♪

Anzu: It’s very colorful

Tsumugi: Yes♪ Just by looking at it like this makes my heart flutter.

Some are from Natsume-kun and Sora-kun, and I also got gifts from Tsukinaga-kun and Saegusa-kun♪

Part 1

Tsumugi: Oh and everyone in the circle I’m in also gave me a present♪

Everyone in biblion gave me a cushion that looks perfect for reading books with!

Here it is! It has a nice soft squishy feel to it~♪ Anzu-Chan, you can go ahead and try touching it too!

Anzu: it feels nice

Tsumugi: Right♪ Reading a book while leaning against this cushion… it sounds nice doesn’t it?

Eichi-kun gave me some tea leaves as a gift, I'm sure if I brewed some to accompany my reading, it'll be an even better experience!

Part 2

Tsumugi: Phew, it’s nice to have a day where I can take it easy~

I’d never thought I’d receive so many gifts in one day

It’s possible that I may have received the most gifts ever

Anzu: you are adored

Tsumugi: Fufu, I’m so thankful for that…♪

Each and every one of them chose a gift with me in mind. That alone is more than enough to make me happy.

Part 3

Tsumugi: Um, Anzu-chan, what’s with the box you pulled out…?

“Sorry for adding to the pile” you say, it’s not a problem at all!

Thank you for the gift. Is it alright if I open it now?

Anzu: Of course

Tsumugi: Wow…! It’s an elaborate brooch! Fufu, it’s sparkling all over

Since it’s from Anzu-Chan, shall I put it on now♪

Part 4

Tsumugi: How is it? It gives off an elegant impression when wearing it♪

Hmm. If you look closely, the color of the stone in the middle is slightly different from the one swaying below...?

The stone below looks like the unit color of "Switch"….

Anzu: and the stone in the middle is…

Tsumugi: So that’s what it is, the color is based on Peridot which is August’s birthstone.

Come to think of it, Peridot symbolizes “hope” and “happiness”. It seems that happiness comes just by wearing this♪

Part 5

Tsumugi: Now then, shall we start heading home? We don’t want to get back too late.

Thanks for today. I’m so happy to receive such a lovely gift at the end of the day.

I’ll savor the happiness I felt today and give it my all tomorrow

Anzu: Let’s do our best together!

Tsumugi: That’s right♪ and I’ll give Anzu-chan more joy and happiness than what I received today!

After all, I am a magician who brings happiness to others♪

Phone call

Tsumugi: Hello?

Thank you so much for today!

The photos you sent were the ones you were taking with your phone right?

Everyone in each photo looks like they’re having fun, it makes me so happy

I look forward to working with you tomorrow!

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

"aah~ finally our work is done~" you stretch your body, feeling every joints in your body that was stiff becomes better. the sun is ready to set, meaning that all of you have to go home now.

"thanks for today, guys! and for your lab reports, the deadline is Thursday next week! good bye and have some rest~" your lab assistant close the today's lab work. you and all of your classmate quickly tidy your things up, make sure that nothing left behind, then start lining up to leave the lab. you take off your lab coat, fold it neatly, then put it in your bag.

"what's your plan after this, Y/N?" the three of you walk out from the building, the street lights around you are already turned on, even though the sun haven't set yet.

"hmm, I don't know~ maybe I'll come to oikawa's house to pay for his... uh, thing." your friends laughed when they see your face becoming red from embarrassment.

"awww, you're gonna pay him with what? money? or... other things?" hana's eyes glinted with mischief when she said that. you're now blushing more furiously, smacking her shoulder in your embarassed state.

"no! i-i... I'll probably gonna come to a cafe and pay him a dinner or something. but definitely not the thing that you think!" you babbled, trying to make some excuses. your friends laughed again, still trying to tease you.

"well, I know this new cafe in around your neighborhood! it's a couple cafe, where every couple have a room for themselves! it's good for you, right?" keiko show her phone screen to you, showing a really cute cafe that honestly suit you and oikawa's taste.

"but–but it's a couple cafe! what if he thinks that I like him and then get weirded out after that? I can't loose our friendship!" you asked nervously, now fiddling with your necklace's pendant. that necklace is really precious to you. oikawa give it to you went you turn 15. you always used it, although you hide it in your clothes so he won't know. now, everytime you feel nervous, you find yourself fiddling with the necklace's pendant.

"oh, c'mon, Y/N. you've been liking him since, what, elementary school? so now it's the time to confess to him!" keiko tries to cheer you up, patting your shoulder to give you some support. hana hug you from the side.

"we believes in you, Y/N. you're smart, a good student, a nice girl, and you're really pretty! oikawa is a dummy if he didn't like you!" now hana started to preach you like you're some of goddess, and that's really makes you embarrassed.

"thank you, guys. for your support. I uh... I'll try it." their eyes went huge from excitement and the hugged you tightly.

"finally! you go, girl! I'm rooting for you. and if he's hurting your heart, I swear I'll rip his body apart tomorrow." you laughed at keiko, waving your hand since the three of you have a different path to go home. hana nodded at keiko's word.

"i'm agree! bye, Y/N. may the odds be ever in your favor!" the three of you laugh, then you started to walk to your house. but, the thing is, if you wanna go to your house, you have to pass oikawa's house first. and after all of today's events, the last thing you want is meet oikawa.

but you brace yourself. you take a deep sigh, then press the bell.

"please wait~" you heard oikawa's mother replying to your bell. a few moments later, the door opened. and you see oikawa's mother instantly lit up when she finally see who's in front of her.

"Oh, Y/N! it's really nice to see you! what's brought you here? come in!" she lets you in with a warm smile. you nervously smile back to her.

"is tooru here, mother?" you ask while you take your shoes off. oikawa's mother nod.

"yeah, he's in his room! but he seems a little bit strange after went from campus, though. he doesn't answer when I called him and he always look like he's spaced out. I wonder what happened..." you blush a little bit when you heard that. you surely know what happened.

"oh, really? then, i-uh.. I'll go to his room." you said, hugging oikawa's mother.

"sure, sweetie. take your time there! please help me to repair tooru's mind!" oikawa's mother laughed, and you can't help but laugh a little bit too.

the path to oikawa's room strangely look far today. it's usually not this far, tho. maybe it's because your mind started to become crazy from all of your class and lab works.

you finally arrived, knocking his door.

"tooru? I'm coming." like usual, without waiting for his answer, you open his door. and things won't changed anymore, right? you two have been doing this since childhood, tho. but you're wrong, because--

"wait no!!" oikawa screeched when you open his door, revealing him, in the middle of the room, almost naked. his fair skin and brown hairs are wet, indicating that he just done showering. the only thing that cover him is a sheer scarf–yours, you've been wondering where it went for weeks–in his crotch area. he definitely panicked and grab whatever the closest thing beside him.

your body freezed, but your eyes wandering. you took a moment to look at his body. his semi wet hair, that made his flustered face looks cuter than usual. his long and sexy neck with his adam's apple, that suddenly looks more prominent, went up and down heavily. his broad and big tiddies makes you drool a little bit. and you swear you can also see water flowing seductively from his chest to the sidelines of his abdominal muscles.

"OHMYGODI'MSOSORRY!!!!" you finally snapped from your thought and closed his door. your face is now red and hot. damn, since when he became so hot and sexy?!?!??! is this the result of him and iwaizumi become a gym buddy and went to gym at least 3 days a week?!???! and what the hell happened with today?!??!

minutes goes by, now you're in his room. both of you refused to look at each other, feeling flustered and embarrassed.

"i-uh... I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to--" oikawa shake his head. even though he still feel embarrassed, he know that it's an accident.

"uh.. so.. why are you here in the first place?" ask him, hoping that it'll make you ease your self. it's not.

"um... I wanna repay you for... for your help earlier." you said meekly. now both of you becoming more embarrassed. silence fill the room once again.

"my uh.. my friends tell me that I should take you to a dinner. so, they recommend this new cafe in our neighborhood. do you wanna go there tonight?" you finally ask him. your hand fiddling again with your necklace's pendant. and oikawa didn't answer. it makes you really sure that he's gonna reject your invitation. but when you finally look at him, you see his face was red and he was speechless. and that makes your heart skip a bit.

"dinner.. like--like on a date?" he finally said something, and you swear that his voice trembled a little. you nod your head, and oikawa's stomach now full of butterflies. how could he not?

first of all, you, his crush since kindergarten, ASK. HIM. OUT. ON A DATE. NOT AS A FRIEND. second, you just saw him almost naked, and you're practically eye-fucking him for a moment. of course his heart is not daijoubu. and the last but not least, ISN'T THAT THE NECKLACE THAT HE GAVE YOU WHEN YOU'RE 15?!? YOU STILL WEAR IT?!?!? god, if he died today, he's gonna die happily.

"uh.. sure. today, 7 pm?" he answered. when he see you blush at his word, suddenly he becoming bold. he take your hand, caressing it a little bit then kiss the back of your hand.

"wear something in my seijoh's uniform color, okay?" he said in a low voice. you nod with a dreamy look, then excuse yourself to go home, stumbled a little bit when you open his door.

Tomorrow Morning... (part 1)

(part 2)

. "...I don't even know what time they're shupposed to be here."

The Cosmic Apparel Shop was just about to open as early as it could be, per usual, with Ankh trying to be as attentive as possible for a certain UFO. No, not the usual one, the other one; the text that 2FO last sent from Jobski's phone mentioned that they would better explain things 'tomorrow'. Well, 'tomorrow' as in, like, today.

It didn't take long after the door was open that the red tiny saucer zoomed right inside, barely screeching into a halt before they ended up crashing onto one of the shelves.

. "ANKH! 2FO h-here...!"

. "Woah, take it eashy!" Good thing she had already stepped away before 2FO would fly right into her. Did they HAVE to be i such a rush, though?

. "2FO... not have much time. Have rushed fast with Jobski's phone. D-did not know how to delete messages..."

. "....You took Jobshki's phone with you?" Well. That's one way to keep a conversation private. "Sho, what'd you got to shay to me? Why only today and without Jobshki here?"

Ahh, shoot, here we go.

. "...Ankh need to tell Jobski that Ankh love Jobski. Now.."

. "EHHH?!?"

They made her wait until a morning later and rushed all the way over here... just to be blunt like this??? No, she's not blushing, YOU are.

. "H... h-how many timesh am I gonna shay this, 2FO? We're only friendsh, alright???"

. "It is very obvious Ankh do love Jobski. 2FO read the stories. Denial... happens lots."

. "Th... thoshe are just booksh! They're shupposed to be exaggerated and dramatic... But you can't jusht force ush to get together jusht because we remind you of a couple from a fictional romance!"

. "It is not l-like that! Ankh has to listen...!"

. "You know what? I'm not in the mood for thish. If you're jusht gonna be here to washte my time, then maybe you should leave." Now high on the defensive, Ankh turned around and began walking away... but briefly stopped in her tracks as after a sigh, her tone suddenly softened from annoyance to bittersweet acceptance.

. "...I'll jusht.... shee Jobshki again whenever they feel better. Sho jusht... go home...." Whatever reason Jobski had for her not to come over, she'll respect it and wait until the end of the month to see them. Even if she can't help but feel hurt that they seemingly don't want to be around her....

. "B-but...!" No, wait, this wasn't how it was supposed to go! The sore throat may heal by then, but what about their heart? Their confidence? What if that doesn't ever heal? 2FO really made an effort not to reveal too much about Jobski's confession attempts...

But it doesn't look like there's any other easy way to convince her without that vital secret. Sorry, Jobski, they tried. Hope they'll forgive them for spilling...

. "Ankh d-does not understand! Jobski...

. "Jobski also in love with Ankh!"

. "............" Well, that got her attention. Enough to stop her in her tracks, turning back to face 2FO.

. "....Wh... w-what...?"

And it was realized, now was not only the time to let them go but a time of great change. A Tupperware container holding the remains of a giant angel on earth. Surely it couldn't contain more than an arm, possibly a foot but who's to say when the bones are burned away. No, it wasn't just the sadness at the thought of spreading those ashes in waters, waters he would hate, it was the end and my beginning. But alas therein lies the problem. Remove all excuses remove all attachments that bound me to my bed to slumber for weeks on end. Remove the obstacles and enter the race. It shall feel like the world is lighter, my back will hurt less but did any of it mean anything at all?

We've arrived at part two. The military sent him. He swooped in to save a soldier. And save a soldier he did. Months passed as their spirits bonded to one another. Unbeknownst to all this union would be energized by those who have gone before us. Of this I'm sure. Day in and day out they wondered what else the universe would reveal. One knew a change was coming and the other knew a change should come but the later won't identify the who,what, where, when and why. But that's okay because I'll be here when he figures it out. In the eyes of the beholder every second spent as one was exactly how their souls connected, grew and spoke to one another. But what happens when space and time (which isn't real) separate the two?

STOP PART 3: My protector and confident has been gone 31 days and 3 years. The Marine has been gone 497 days. I've been out of work since the soldier fell ill. While loathing my existence without my father and slowly, selfishly dying of malnutrition on my sofa for all the world to see which consisted of exactly 2 people...in swept a smell, a feeling, a well loved memory the one who was not to return from a life time ago. He may not have known (although I have told him, who knows when he's listening) he saved my life. He showed up, he made jokes at my expense, to my chagrin he encouraged me to eat and when I say encouraged I mean harassed me to eat. I was skin and bones. Basically the same as I am now. But in a turn of events, life's rendition of whiplash, I fell in love with him. Every single thing about him I fell in love with. And in an even more peculiar turn of events he fell in love with me. I saw nothing past him but I SAW him. I see him today. I see him without using my eyes. I reveled in every second we spent together, I still do. I needed that time every second and so did he. I still do. But tomorrow I'm going to set my giant earth angel free and that is the day when everything will change. And let me forewarn you that "everything will change" will be read by all as "so basically you're going to return to being an active member of society and complain about missing your twin flame?" . Yes, yes Susan I am but I digress. I will walk away from the beloved Ghosts of my past and face the world and its grotesque people alone without my love. Too much sadness too much pain not enough people that I love out there.

STOP, NO REALLY, PART 3: I think of the future days spent away from him and it's not ideal. I hate it actually. Working 1 full time job is enough to cause someone to climb to the top of the Bay Bridge and patiently wait as the negotiator trys to convince you that your life is worth it and you are loved. okay Officer You've done enough work today you can return to pulling people over for a flashing tale light. But setting my goal on 2 jobs seems lofty. I don't look forward to the time away from him. The only solice I can find is that thoughts of him and I will saturate my view and keep me going until I can get back to him. This was always supposed to happen. But the universe has an agreement with God and is very tight lipped so I waited 10 years and now, now I want another 10, 30 I want enfitity next to him. I hope he wants the same. For the first time in my life I want to jump with both feet holding onto only what I can grasp with my left hand while holding my right hand squarely on his heart. I am not to be confused with an easy to get along with puddle of love who reads soft porn romance novels while weeping when the gardner leaves the rich widow for the younger yoga instructor. I am a lioness. I love him fiercely. I love him with my words and when I glance at him sleeping. I love him with my hands when his shoulders hurt because "tonight the cards just weren't on his side". I adore him when I watch him with my cub. My cub loves him when she watches him with me. And I love him, I adorn him with love when our bodies are connected.

THE END: Well, not really. More like when the Grateful Dead rebranded as Dead and Company. Things changed but damn that's one fine band. And damn I have one fine man. Hey Marine! Hey Giant Earth Angel soon to be a Giant Earth mermaid! Watch out for us. Guide us always towards one another. Let the immense immeasurable love I have for you two continue to transfer to him.

The dog needs to be walked and I really need a tattoo. Until next time... knock twice before you open the bedroom door.

Week 7: The Continuation and Revision of Papers

A pleasant day to each and every one! Once again, we are here to update our week 7 entitled The Continuation and Revision of Papers. So, for today’s update here is the following agenda; First, the revision of the chapter 1 write-up, secondly continuation of the new chapter write-up, Third assigning for the new chapter, and lastly the attempted interview with the related human resource information system faculty of the university. Before the group started the meeting, we did first the interview agenda which apparently did not happen. More details about that agenda will be talked about in the later part.

For the first agenda, the group talked about some of the revisions they needed to put up in the paper. The paper was returned last Tuesday, and one of the members brought the paper home. Then that member asked everyone which part they made and sent the part where their part was corrected by the instructor. When the paper returned last Tuesday, the instructor gave some critiques/comments on how should the paper improve and what the things that we should not write in the paper. Last Wednesday some members of the group started revising their part and those who did not finish the revision first asked other members for some ideas or opinions. Thus, this included this week's group activities/work.

Secondly, for the continuation of a new chapter write-up, some of the members were almost finished with their given part. Hence most of them are still stuck on some part, especially on those part that needs to be detailed. During the meeting, some of the members did clarify what they would write in the paper, and some of them reviewed each other's works. Although the continuation of the new chapter write-up became complex because it was composed of 2 chapters, the group did manage to finish the paper because it was almost finished when they met up. The group successfully ended the second agenda.

For the third agenda, the assigning for the new chapter parts. Although the instructor still did not give us the format of the paper but, the instructor did tell us what is seen in the next chapter. That is why the group assigned each part in advance so that they could have further research about their part because they should have started doing their blueprint in the system by now and started with the GUI/prototyping. Each member was always given a chance of what part they wanted and then after a lot of discussion, the members agreed to their part. So, the third agenda ended peacefully and the assigned member did some notes about their part and did some clarification.

Lastly, for the interviews’ agenda. After the meeting, the group went to the human resource office of our school. When we got inside, some of the staff asked what we came for, and then the members said our reason for coming. Then the staff who asked us first called the person who is in charge of the system and let us talk with that person. Then the staff asked what we wanted, and then the members said what they came for. Hence the staff said, that the interview cannot be possible to happen as of the moment because they still need permission from their head. The staff further added that maybe tomorrow Friday, if we come back, we should bring a permission letter and introduction letter that is signed by our instructor because of the data privacy. Then after the talk, we sent our thanks and took some photos outside the office for documentation purposes. And that concluded our week 7 update, have a nice day everyone! May God Bless You!

Episode 13: "SHITTING MY PANTS HAS NEVER EVER BEEN SO SEXYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY"—Jinx

Brandi

I think we can go ahead and end the season here- hairie wins

Trinica

Well, despite Jinx lowkey ruining the illusion that she's not working with Hairie by telling the rest of OS that they were voting for Hairie instead of for Arvin, the plan last night worked. OS is super suspicious of Jinx, and probably a little of me, too, but I think I've played it off well enough that I didn't know Hairie had an idol.

I feel SO UNBEARABLY GUILTY about lying to Brandi, though. I considered coming clean today but I think she would be really upset with me for conspiring to get Amy out (especially over Hairie). But I had to do it! Hairie NEEDED to play his idol if we were going to have any chance of getting him out later. And after last night, he does need to go soon. Especially considering that mysterious legacy advantage we have. Hairie has just played too flashy and high-profile of a game to stay.

HOWEVER, once Hairie is gone, people WILL start looking at me next I think (along with Raffy perhaps). So I'm walking a tightrope, bless up Janelle Monae. We're at 8 now, and I think I'm a swing vote, though I can't quite logic out in what direction yet.

Raffy

Hairie better not pull out another idol at this tribal council. Also, I don't trust Jinx or Zo at this point as I think they were being shady by not voting for Arvin like the plan was.

Jinx

SHITTING MY PANTS HAS NEVER EVER BEEN SO SEXYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Hairie

A friend today, may not be a friend tomorrow.

So we're down to 8. The challenge was a lot. Didn't want to sacrifice life too much just to go ham and win it. Raffy using an item to not let me get any ADV applied is so wild lmao.

As it stands, the rest thinks Trinica and Jinx are against me which is good. As for the votes go, they're 6 vs me and Arvin (2).

I suggested to Trinica some possible options:

- 4 vs 4 votes and force a rock draw - Or get the 6 to split 3 on me and 3 on Arvin while me and Arvin place 2 votes on someone. But in reality Jinx and Trinica will vote with me and Arvin making it a 4-2-2 split. This will draw lines

Zo is the highlight here and wants to make a move. Definitely scoop me up here Zo. Capitalising on the duo of Zo and Colin.

I broke it down:

- Raffy Brandi Trinica are a 3 - Zo and Colin a duo - Jinx is in the middle - Arvin and me are interchangeable

When me and Arvin are gone, at 6 who's at the bottom? Ya'll gonna play FRIENDVIVOR? Someone is gonna get upset for being the bottom and not realising it and too late for making moves. Why not use me and Arvin while we're still here?

Zo wants to get a Colin, Zo, Jinx, Hairie and Arvin voting bloc to make a move. I admitted to Zo that if there was no plans, I'm writing Colin but if you're wanting to make a move, I can respect your duo and ride with you. So I'm pushing it to Brandi. Sorry Brandi (if you're reading it) It's all game.

I want to protect Trinica a little here but not too much because we're sticking to the narrative of it being Trinica is not with me.

Zo is gonna run by Jinx to see what they're thinking.

On the other hand, Trinica is telling me Zo hasn't be truthful to her and also mentioned wanting me gone quote "Can we take Hairie out next?!" almost after last tribal.

One can hope that this plan works. There's like 3 plans so let's see which one works.

I wasted my extra vote using it last round as a safety net but it's okay.

Now these group want to take out Raffy as soon as he doesn't win immunity. I guess I'm hopping on that train.

I hope Raffy calling me all these superlatives is just part of the game and can understand my game at the end of the day.

Meanwhile in terms of idol hunting, I've just been exploring the ship and opening more paths and shopping list.

Going to sleep now and wake up at 6p EST for a call with Zo to see iron out the plan.

Raffy

I am starting to get suspicious of Zo and Jinx. I don't think they want Hairie out, but I do. So, Colin, Trinica, Brandi, and I agreed to all four vote Hairie and tell them that we are voting for Arvin. If Jinx will be mad at me, let them because I've already lied to them multiple times. I just don't think I can trust Jinx to want to vote my way either through their own volition or through me trying to convince them.

Colin

everything has changed a million times this round.

like I think it's finally time for Hairie to go but idk.

i've been trying SO hard to make things work with Zo and Jinx but I think i'm getting played hard by them. Trinica told me that they've been throwing my name under the bus and that Zo has been secretly in COHOOTS with hairie.

idk if I really believe it but I don't not believe it. like it all makes sense. I just don't know who to continue with rn. Raffy and Trinica will beat me in the end, and I don't know if i can trust the people i actually wanna go with

it feels really rough because i've invested my entire game into Zo and now it feels like Zo is going to be blowing my game up

Brandi

5:41 PM est I am scared

Jinx

WHEN I GET THRU THESE VOTES I WILL HAVE BROKEN THE MID GAME CURSE!!!! did it in north sea and we gotta do it AGAIN!!! im so sorry for the lack of confessionals usually i’m talking way too much and even started strong but i’ve been trying to play the game more 🫶🏽 missing JG and Maddison (sexy as hell) rn and forever

Trinica

I'm struggling tn!!! Colin admitted he doesn't vibe with me and Raffy like he does with Zo, and Raffy admitted Amy was his F2, so the villain f3 alliance was a lie on all 3 sides lmao. Brandi doesn't seem to realize (or perhaps just has other plans idk about) that if hairie or Arvin goes tonight, it's us next. The smart move would be to get zo out tonight. But we don't have numbers for it, and it's starting to feel like we'll NEVER have numbers for it. I'm planting seeds with Colin but if they don't "vibe" with me then why believe me? Zo may win this game if we don't get her out tonight akfjsjajjfjs

Anyway, played myself into a corner has been my theme this entire game. IF I COULD TUUUURN BACK TIIIIME I'd work with zee and adeline smdh

Zo

THIS TRIBE IS SO MESSY AND YET NOT AT ALL WHY DOES NOBODY WANT TO PLAY SPICY

Arvin

I'm so happy I made it this far, my first season I was 9th place, I'm so proud of myself.

#episodes

[adamnagaitisnews]

Okay, it's like i have to break my promise not to write publicly, i hate it. but this one, i really want everyone to see it. first of all, i want @carolsfeelgoodstuff to read it bc she won't leave me alone and won't contact me personally.

We'll talk the concepts of YouTube and self-sufficiency.

1)YouTube.

YouTube is the world biggest platform for videos, it allows to upload the largest and the best quality videos possible. Also, YouTube is the first place anyone would go searching. I cut my vids to pieces to be able to upload every second available without violating the copyright of the original owner. Sometimes my vids get blocked, sometimes the rightholders unblock them, it's a very complicated system, and we're not talking about it today. but i always try to make everything stay on the channel the longest time possible. Why? It's done for the fans who may come not today, not even tomorrow. A year, 5 years, 10 years, whatever. It's an archive of everything in one place available for everyone from everywhere in the world. That's it. That's why i care about quality so much. Everything is categorized by folders (for the times when he is super famous ehehe) for quick search.

So, it's YouTube.

Now your favourite part. The word 'EXCLUSIVE' (my ass ™). That's where we come to the concept of

2) Self-sufficiency.

When i first started it, i was different, let's say so. I thought im gonna do something and people will love me (i know, ridiculous, ive grown up since then). It was not about archive, it was about me wishing to be included. Long story short, it failed. (i strongly believe everyone knows this story of me attacking people out of the blue like a rabid dog. Am i proud of it? No. But what's done is done.)

I had two ways. To stop doing what i was doing or to go on alone. I chose the latter :). This channel was the first thing in my life i didn't abandon after 5 minutes. I enjoyed every second of it. Editing, making covers, avoiding blocking and deciding what im gonna do next. Adam turned out a perfect muse for me. I never get tired of his face and he always inspires me to try something new. Months later, I understood that i didn't need to be included anymore, it was so enjoyable that i knew even if everyone unfollows me today, im gonna start from scratch tomorrow just because i love it. Even when it sux.

I stopped asking people here and on twitter to subscribe (i do ask on yt but it's a common practice). I became self-sufficient.

Wow! You ve read up to this! EXCLUSIVE (my ass ™).

When i discovered Branwell's vids, i was sooo excited (my ass ™), i posted an extract on twitter immediately but no one seemed interested. I won't describe the circles of hell i went through to upload it to yt in THREE, CARL, pieces to make it available all over the world. And i still wanted everyone here and on twitter to see it. The word EXCLUSIVE (my ass ™) seemed to fit the best to draw attention, bc i was absolutely sure no one saw it before. Then @wifeofbath asked me where i got it, but i was still pissed (not proud), and never responded. As simple as that.

You gonna ask me why i said no to you. Speaking both Louvel and Hamlet, when i do something i find especially appealing, i feel an urge to make a post here and on twitter. Even if no one likes it. it's a ✔️ for me. Like mission completed or something.

Speaking Hamlet in particular, first, because i wanted to gif this one myself. Hamlet is a really big deaI for me. Second, i was dumb and it took me longer than expected to find it (on rutracker, my ass!). Third, im so so so sorry to say it aloud, and please don't take it personally and for fuck's sake dont stop giffing, but like i said, i have nothing to lose. Im a rabid dog :). i stopped visiting tumblr as often as i used to because i couldn't find other people's posts through the mass of your gifs. I got irritated and just left quietly and went into post'n'go mode. Tbh i was embarrassed when you wrote me here through the question form. Also, later i found you annoying, and im sorry for that.

So these were all cases when anyone asked me for a source of anything.

Everything i post i found in open sources, it's like a sport for me. First you find it, then you post and then there's this russian roulette moment - will it be blocked or not? Or will i have to cut the shit out of it to make it available all over the world? With those videos, Im concentrated on yt only, i dont aim to upload it anywhere else, bc see pt. 1. I don't own them, i dont care who else posts them and where. Ive learned my lessons and i wanna go on in peace.

Thanks for reading this,

Seems like im finally free now,

If there are any questions, please ask, im gonna answer.

❤️,

Al

How To Improve Your Thinking Skills

Thinking is one of the most important skills you can develop. It’s what allows you to make good decisions and solve problems. But thinking isn’t easy, and it can be difficult to improve your skills over time. That’s where cognitive training comes in. Cognitive training is a type of mental exercise that helps you improve your Thinking Skills. It consists of exercises designed to challenge your mind and expand your cognitive capabilities. There are many different types of cognitive training, and they all have different benefits. Some of the most common benefits include: Improved thinking ability Improved problem-solving skills Better memory recall Enhanced creativity These benefits are significant, and they can help you in many different areas of your life. If you want to improve your Thinking Skills, try out some cognitive training exercises today! Flow State Queensland

What are thinking skills?

Thinking skills are important for both personal and professional development. They allow us to make better decisions, solve problems, and think creatively. Here are five ways to improve your thinking skills:

1. Practice thinking critically. When you critique your own thoughts or the thoughts of others, you’re training your brain to be more skeptical and critical. This skill will help you avoid falling victim to cognitive biases, which can lead to misinterpretations of data or faulty assumptions.

2. Use a problem-solving approach. When faced with a problem, take some time to brainstorm possible solutions before settling on one. This process will help you come up with creative ideas and find solutions that work best overall.

3. Exercise your brain regularly. cerebral fitness doesn’t only mean having a high IQ; it also means getting your body moving! Regular exercise helps improve blood flow to the brain, which enhances cognitive function and supports memory recall.

4. Take breaks often. If you find yourself stuck on a problem for an extended period of time, take a break and come back later with fresh eyesight and energy . This strategy will help clear the mind and allow you to tackle the task at hand in a more effective way.

5. Stay motivated by setting goalsselssetting goals is one of the most important tools for staying focused on tasks throughout the day . By breaking down large goals into manageable steps, you’ll stay motivated and achieve success faster

The different types of thinking

There are four different types of thinking: analytical, creative, intuitive, and prescient. Learning to use each type of thinking effectively can help you solve problems and come up with new ideas.

Analytical thinking is focused on breaking down information into its component parts and solving problems by using logic and reason. This type of thinking is helpful when you need to work through a problem step by step and understand the details involved.

Creative thinking is focused on coming up with new ideas and solutions. It involves breaking the problem down into smaller parts, exploring different possibilities, and developing new ways of looking at it. This type of thinking is often used when you need to come up with something new or find a way to solve an existing problem in a unique way.

Intuitive thinking is focused on understanding how things work without needing to break them down or explain them in detail. This type of thinking is useful when you see patterns or relationships that someone else may not be able to see. It can also help you develop insights about yourself and your own behavior that you wouldn't otherwise be able to discover.

Prescient thinking is focused on seeing the future as if it were already happening. It involves understanding what will likely happen in the short term, medium term, or long term based on past experience and observations. This type of thinking can help you make better decisions about what to do now or tomorrow based on what's likely to happen in the future. Creaction Workshops Queensland

How to improve your thinking skills

There are many ways to improve your thinking skills. Here are some tips:

1. Make a list of your thoughts every day. Write down what you think about for at least five minutes each day. This will help you to better control your thoughts and develop better thinking habits.

2. Challenge yourself mentally every day. Try to come up with new ideas or solutions to problems that you might have been struggling with before. This will help you to increase your intelligence and problem-solving skills.

3. Take time for relaxation and contemplation every day. Spend fifteen minutes each evening relaxing and focusing on your thoughts without any distractions. This will help improve your concentration and thought process overall.

4. Practice meditation or mindfulness frequently throughout the day in order to train your mind in how to stay calm and focused in difficult situations.

5. Get organized mentally by creating lists of tasks, goals, and objectives that you want to achieve over the course of the week or month. This will help you stay focused on important matters and avoid getting bogged down by irrelevant details.

Tips for improving your thinking skills

The following are tips for improving your thinking skills:

1. Practice problem solving. The more you practice problem solving, the better you will become at it. Not only will this skill help you in your personal life, but it can also improve your ability to think analytically and logically.

2. Spend time reading and studying. Reading materials from different fields can help you develop a richer understanding of different concepts. Additionally, by studying specific topics in depth, you can improve your critical thinking skills.

3. Take classes related to thinking skills. Classes that focus on cognitive neuroscience or brain function may be beneficial to your overall thinking abilities. Additionally, classes that teach how to think critically or solve problems effectively can be very helpful for improving your skillset overall.

4. Challenge yourself constantly. By pushing yourself to think outside of the box, you will increase your ability to come up with new ideas and solve complex problems.

Louis’ Self-worth (pt. 1)

Part 1: The Physical Aspect

*spoilers for the manga below*

I know I’ve made “Louis is pissed about being an herbivore” jokes on here, but mainly in that “haha no really” sense. Louis does hate being an herbivore. I think this is something that was instilled in him from the earliest possible age, watching the carnivores who caged him, and those who came and went and ate his friends; watching those friends be dragged away, and being helpless to stop it. He and the other herbivores were defenseless, and we know how, as a teen/adult, Louis hates being weak. The path between those two things is a straight line. 

Everything about him is built to flee and run at the first sign of trouble, and he despises it; Louis wants to fight. He was raised as food and seen as nothing more than a product; is it any wonder he grew to hate that product, the body that marked him for death? He hates carnivores, presumably because he developed a prejudice against them after what was done to him, but we know he gets past that. He does not get past his self-loathing over being an herbivore.

This is part of his trouble with Azuki: he despises himself and his body so thoroughly that when he looks at her, a fellow red deer (a fact he notes twice in his narration of their intimacy), he sees all the things about himself that he hates the most. He even calls it out during their rendezvous at the hotel:

Louis: Our thin and weak bodies intertwined... [emphasis mine]

This is not the first time Louis complains about his body’s weakness. After he fractures his leg during rehearsal for Adler, he berates his physical failures.

Louis: It seems like the more I exert myself, the more my body fails me...I know I wasn’t born with a body designed for battle. I’m built as food for carnivores to capture and devour.

13 years after he was rescued from the livestock pen, Louis is still painfully aware of his place in the natural world, and he resents, seemingly, everyone for it: carnivores for their urges, herbivores for their prey instincts. He’s disgusted with the part he plays in the natural order, and he pushes his body to the breaking point trying to be other than he is.

Repeatedly throughout the encounter with Azuki he has to tell himself this is normal, as if he’s trying to convince himself to be attracted to another deer. As we know, he fails, and his revulsion to attempted intercourse with another deer is so strong he has a physical response (throwing up).

Louis: This is normal. Nothing about this is strange. The only thing that’s strange is me. That’s why this situation is making me feel so uncomfortable.

What is he drawn to instead? Juno-- a fierce and deadly carnivore, a gray wolf. An image of strength. Also, for the record: a natural predator of the red deer.

Louis, to Juno (“Our Electric Cardiogram is a Straw Ripped to Pieces”): “You shouldn’t be ashamed of your hunting instincts because you’re a female.”

Louis (“Her Breasts so Translucent the Light of the TV Passes Through Them”): She [Azuki] doesn’t kiss like Juno...nothing in her mouth resembles those rough canine teeth.

Early in his acquaintance with Legoshi, he also remarks on his physicality, observing how even casually, even when Legoshi is trying to stay the wallflower that he is, Legoshi’s form projects strength and vitality.

Louis: “Your body is always flaunting its power.”

It’s easy to see that entire exchange with Legoshi in the leader room being tinted with envy. Louis hates Legoshi because Legoshi has what Louis wants: a body that can fight. If Louis could fight, he wouldn’t have been a victim. If he could fight, he wouldn’t have to be afraid, he wouldn’t be looked down on by carnivores, or pitied for his prey body. Louis is fiercely independent (to the point of getting angry with peers who sympathize with him after he lands in the infirmary), and for him, being a carnivore would increase his ability to walk alone.

What does he hate? Carnivores who try to hide their strength, who pretend to be weaker than they are.

Louis: “I wish you’d stop holding back all the time...I want you to bare your fangs!”

Legoshi: “No! I’d be breaking the law. A carnivore is forbidden from bearing its fangs at an herbi--”

Louis: “Don’t you dare lump me in with the other herbivores! ...It’s large carnivores like you who piss me off the most! ...I wish you’d challenge me sometimes--with everything you’ve got!”

When carnivores try to hide themselves, Louis’ feelings are threefold:

They’re trying to lessen themselves to make him feel safe, as if he needs to be coddled or protected, as if they need to dilute themselves for his comfort (as if he could forget what they are because they’re hiding their fangs).

They’re striving to be something weaker than they are. They are crafting themselves into an image of something Louis finds detestable--a weaker animal.

They’re hiding gifts he envies. Louis wants to be strong and deadly, so to see a predator pretend to be otherwise feels like seeing things he wants gifted to someone who doesn’t appreciate them.

I believe quite a lot of this ties into his early childhood. As I’ve discussed before on this blog, Louis openly admits to himself that his time in the livestock pen deeply scarred him, and is still affecting him at present. At one of his lowest, weakest points--when Legoshi, one of Louis’ only friends, is going to die in the fight with Riz and Louis is helpless to stop it--he calls back to that time when he was at his most helpless:

Louis: The fawn inside me is still crying in his cage.

Louis despises being an herbivore, because he sees them as weak, cowardly, prey. Having been raised for consumption, and been unable to help himself or his friends escape their fate, he can’t help but hate the body that failed him, which is why he can’t manage to make himself be attracted to other deer. Knowing he will never be as strong as a carnivore, Louis has poured his efforts into obtaining power in other ways: weapons, political power, intellectual prowess, a forceful personality.

This may also be why he was less than hysterical about losing a leg. Saving the life of his friend is the best thing his body could be used for, since it’s never been any use to him.

We know that Louis gets over his hatred of carnivores. This realization contributes to his decision to leave the Shishigumi, and it’s a powerful moment for him, coming in tandem with realizing he considers Legoshi a friend, and is afraid that he’s going to be hurt or killed in the fight with Riz. But his hatred of his own body and instincts continue--sometimes, it’s easier to forgive others than ourselves.

I’ve broken this into two parts because this has already gotten a little long and I don’t want you to have to scroll for miles to get through this.

See Part 2: The Mental Aspect here

#about the actor #meta #part 2 may come later today or possibly tomorrow #and I may add to this #I think I've made all the points I wanted to make but who knows #anyway Louis hates himself and there's ample evidence in canon for that #someone give this boy a hug #beastars spoilers #beastars #louis beastars

Smile for Me (Part 6 - Final) Zhongli x fem!reader

Summary: Zhongli never smiled at you the way that he smiled at his memories of Guizhong. Thinking that the only way Zhongli would ever be happy is for Guizhong to come back again, you secretly set off on a journey to bring her back to life. But it comes with a price: Your life. Warnings: kind of short and simple, dont be disappointed. There’s only slight fluff. Zhongli being slightly jealous and protective tho so... MAY NOT FOLLOW THE ACTUAL LORE, not proofread. Notes: Final one. Thank you for coming along on this journey. Time to start the next one XD It’s a little short, but 

Other Chapters: Shortfic Smile for Me (Part 1) (Part 2)  (Part 3)  (Part 4)  (Part 5)

“Yes, Baizhu said that he needed help with collecting Qingxin flowers,” 

You continued to busy yourself with making tea, not noticing that Zhongli tenses up, his eyes now hovering on you. He’s silent and doesn’t quite know what to say. A few minutes pass, the only sound was the clinking of tea cups and the sloshing pour of tea into it. “...Zhongli?” You call out when you realize he hasn’t said a thing about your errands today.

“I heard you, dear,” You turn to look at the expression on his face. It’s stiff and unreadable, meaning that he had something on his mind. “Did I say something wrong?” you manage to ask, taking the tray of tea into your hands and transferring it to the work table he and you used. 

Zhongli’s eyes avert away from yours, a rare sight. He must be thinking hard on something. “...Do you remember the last time you told me you had an errand to run for Baizhu?” You blink, your memory had never been good. “...Not...particularly,”

He holds a sigh back and lazily places his head on his fisted up hand. “...You went to that tree and disappeared for days,” Your smile turns into a forced one and it was your turn to avert your gaze in shame, nervously laughing. “Ah...Yeah...Bad judgement on my part, but that was long ago. I promise it won’t happen again,” 

“I’m aware...” Zhongli starts, using a hand to lift your face up from its downtrodden gaze, “...but it wouldn’t hurt for me to accompany you,” that’s how you know that there’s still an inkling of worry in him about that incident. You didn’t refuse, so that afternoon, the two of you side by side approach Bubu Pharmacy. Baizhu had been waiting at the entrance. 

“Oh, Mister Zhongli, what a nice surprise,” Zhongli throws a smile at the other man, “Indeed. I’m merely accompanying Y/N, for today,” Baizhu nods and gives you the exact amount of Qingxin flowers he needs, along with a few other herbs and flowers. “...and that would be all...perhaps you’d be interested in having dinner today, as a reward and thanks?” 

Zhongli’s eyebrows perk up at Baizhu’s invitation to you. Well, the ex-Archon had chosen to go with you in case anything happened, but Zhongli didn’t anticipate this kind of scenario. He unconsciously crosses his arms over his chest and waits for your response. He was aware that not a lot of people knew about the growing relationship between the two of you. You were rarely seen outside together, and if you were, there wouldn’t be any hints that the two of you were romantically involved. Public display of affection was not that common between the two of you. 

You smile a little, knowing that Zhongli had stiffened up behind you. “I apologize Sir Baizhu, but Zhongli and I had dinner plans already,” Zhongli tries not to smile at the perfect rejection you had dished out, but Baizhu doesn’t seem to understand the message. “Oh, then perhaps tomorrow?”

Zhongli could not hold back the chuckle that erupted from his lips. Persistent, he thinks. Baizhu is surprised when he speaks up, “Tomorrow would be fine sir Baizhu, Y/N is excellent at using the local herbs and animals in her feasts. You’d be welcome to join us,” he pauses here, possibly to let his words sink in, “at our humble abode,” 

Baizhu looks as if the snake around his neck had bitten him. “O-oh, the two of you are--?” You secretly bite the inside of your lip. Zhongli had such ways to be stern yet long-winded at the same time. Unlike your straightforward rejection, his way, without even directly saying anything, seemed comparable to a slap in the face. And yet he did it with such calmness and humility. 

Baizhu seemed to have gotten back to his senses and waves with a sheepish smile. “I wouldn’t want to intrude,” and moments later you and Zhongli were on the way to the mountains to pick some Qingxin flowers. You laugh a little behind your hand. Zhongli knows well what you’re laughing about but he gives you his best exasperated face. “It seems that I have more worries than you just disappearing, I didn’t imagine that I had to fend off potential suitors,” 

“Not to worry Zhongli, it doesn’t happen often, and my dinners are always reserved for you,” He makes a sound of understanding, in the next moment his hand finds the small of your back as the two of you walk and he turns his head towards you. 

Your mouth slightly parts at the sight of his smile, so charming and bright and gentle. Like a magical golden cloud floating in the air. This smile, is a smile that lives in the present, not one that lingered in the past. 

This smile, was for you, and only you. A smile that conveyed and repeatedly convinced you of his loyalty and sincerity.

He leans in sideways to capture your lips in a rare show of public affection. The kiss was far too brief as you slightly chase after his lips when he parts from you.  “Thank you, dear,” and his hand stays on your back as you walk.

He was not a very vocal person, but he had always managed to make you feel loved at every juncture and every turn.

"LET'S SEE WITH THE ASCENDANT" PART 1!

NOTE: WHILE I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL ASTROLOGER, I LOVE ASTROLOGY AND ITS ASPECTS AND I LOVE TO LEARN THEM! PLEASE DO NOT STEAL OR REWORD MY WORK WITHOUT CREDIT! THANK YOU :)

Hey y'all!

- I am finally settled and I am ready to give you some more astro knowledge to keep in the books!! Today we will be talking about the Ascendant (ASC for short) through the first 6 signs!! Part 2 will come out tomorrow!

- But first, what is an ASC sign?

-I'm glad you asked honey! First things first, your Ascendant is an angular house! Angular houses are the Ascendant, Descendant, IC (Imum Coeli), and MC (Medium Coeli). I'll do a post on what angular houses mean later on! Or do feel free to research on your own time :)

-Your ASC sign is what's popularly known as the sign (or sign traits) you may give off as a first impression to the outside world. According to the book, The Only Astrology Book You'll Ever Need by Joanna Woolfolk, she asserts that our personality is a blend of our Sun Sign in combination with our ASC sign. This has some truth in it as our ASC can also represent our self-interests, how we process self-awareness, our goals, our objectives, & how we assert our self-sufficiency! Think of your ASC sign as the sign when you walk in a room full of people.

- You can find your ASC here! Below is my chart( credit from Astro.com) for my visual learners! The ASC will be on the left side of your chart (marked AC); usually your angular houses are marked! In this example, my ASC is in the sign of Sagittarius!

-Have you ever had someone guess your sun sign but they were wrong? Chances are, they probably are guessing your ASC sign!

-With that being said, let's get into it!!!!

ARIES ASC:

Adventurous and pioneering!

Typically the ones to be "the first" at something.

Likes to get shit done! Act first ask questions later kind of energy.

Leader of the pack vibes.

Possibly have a very muscular, strong body.

When they walk in the room, they give such a strong sense of power, strength, and exuberance!

Possibly can be red-headed. Aries rules the color red and also rules the head. Doesn't mean every red-head is an Aries ASC though. Or they may like to wear alot of red.

They can give a direct, kinda bossy attitude but also a very free-child-like attitude I love it!!

Be careful with sharp objects. Sharp objects like knives are ruled by Mars (Mars rules Aries) and you may be a bit more accident prone so be careful, according to Woolfolk.

TAURUS ASC:

Very stable and calm energy when they walk in the room.

Patient & steadfast people.

Love the arts, could be talented at composing music esp!

Love comfort and the comfort their materials bring them.

Can have super beautiful necks. Necks/throats are ruled by Taurus.

Also, they may have larger, rounder eyes ooooo so cute!! Almost like a doe.

Can accumulate wealth over time.

Loves security and things that make them feel safe.

Many people think they are lazy, but that is not the case. A Taurus ASC does not believe in wasting time on things that don't bring them joy or comfort. They are hardworking, if it means they can attain the goals they set out for!! Once again, THEY ARE NOT LAZY!

GEMINI ASC:

Witty & charming.

Extremely smart and sociable.

Also can thrive in the entertainment industry as actors, writers, TV hosts, or comedians. They can really captivate an audience with their social and witty behavior!

Gemini rules the arms & hands, so they can have really nice hands/arms. If Venus is in aspect to their ASC, this can possibly point to someone who is a hand model.

The type to always want to be constantly stimulated and learn something everyday so they don't get bored.

May like to travel alot or move alot.

They also can marry more than once in their lives.

Extremely intellectual communicators. Very good with using their words as their best assets!

Could have big, wide eyes. This is just a personal take as I have seen multiple Gemini risings with big, wide eyes.

CANCER ASC:

Love security & comfort.

May have a oval face or round face. The moon rules Cancer so I won't be surprised if your face is shaped as round as the moon.

Sensitive to other's emotions & intuitive on how people may feel or react.

Amazing creatives. They use their emotions to make the best projects. Some of their projects (story writing for example) can be based on their lives at home or their hometown.

On the outside they may come off reserved and even cold. This is the "hard on the outside soft on the inside" effect. Deep down they are very soft, sweet, giving, & sensitive.

They want public recognition for their efforts, as you should!!!

According to Woolfolk, they are very good with saving money and handling it as well. Being the opposite sign of Capricorn (the sign of conservation), I am not surprised since opposing signs do share qualities of each other in one way or another.

LEO ASC:

Very grand people and luxurious YESSSS BITCH!!!

People may notice their hair first. Know how Leo is the lion? We see the lion's mane (or hair) first. This also applies for Leo ASCs.

A personal take- Leo ASC have this sun-kissed glow about them (lol pun intended). It's like their skin is so bright and glowy and it is so beautiful.

Give off a very happy and exuberant energy.

Extremely likeable people.

Views life as a stage!

Prides themselves on being a leader and delegator.

Can easily find fame or people will scout them out easily.

Also can be surrounded by alot of influential people. This helps their image if they want to be famous one day. Get to networking!!!

Can have a very nice back. Leo also rules the back.

VIRGO ASC:

Another personal take: why do so many Virgo ASC or Virgo placements have to wear glasses? That's interesting.

May have a frail looking body, but that does not mean they are sick yall.

Looks at life through a filter. Meaning, they like to hold on to valuable information that they can actually use and apply in their life.

^Yet, this can also mean that they may become too dependent on details to make decision. Don't forget to look at the bigger picture.

They love order and reason.

Thrive in intellectual pursuits. Especially if they are scientific and not philosophical.

Likes to gain rewards from their own efforts and not due to what others think. They love to listen and be assured in their own reasoning as YOU SHOULD!!!

May forget to take others' opinions into consideration.

Could come off shy and distant.

May own property in their later lives? Idk but Woolfolk mentions this and if anyone can chime in here I would be happy to hear it!

-That's it for PART 1! Part 2 will be out tomorrow!

-Also, to show your appreciation, do feel free to tip me! I have so much more content I want to teach and tell yall and I'm excited! You can tip me at my cashapp: $DellyRelly if you appreciate my content in more ways than just following me! Anywho, see yall tomorrow!

-Claude

Sick day cuddles

So I came up with this idea last night but didn’t know whether to write it with Alcina or Donna, so I let let people on my twitter decide and Donna won which I wasn’t expecting but I love her :) 

Luciana is going to be the name of the character I write with for Donna as she is my Oc but I will use ‘you’ for you guys as readers :)

This is my first Donna Beneviento oneshot and I’m still developing ways to write her to stay true to her as a character so bare with me! 

I may even make a part 2 if any of you like this and want me to!

(Gif isn’t mine)

Donna sends Angie to wake up Luciana as she got up earlier to finish making this doll. Luciana hadn't gotten out of bed yet and she thought that was weird for her. However she doesn't want to get out of bed and so Donna checks to see if she's okay, but it turns out shes sick.

Basically Donna takes care of her girlfriend and even cuddles with her not caring that she could get sick to.

Warning/s: None

Nothing but Donna being adorable, shy even and wanting to care for her girl.

Donna Beneviento x Fem!Oc 

Donna had been wondering all morning why her lover hadn't gotten out of bed yet. She usually gets up an hour after her due to the fact she has been getting up early everyday to work on this new doll project. Angie, her favourite doll from childhood by her side as she watches her finish off the hat she had been making for the doll.

"Angie, could you go check on Luciana for me? I'm rather worried she hasn't gotten up yet". Donna asked the wedding dress clad doll, worry on her face was barely visible due to her wearing the mourning veil over her.

Angie chuckled at how worried Donna was but still she stood up and jumped down from the wooden chair the doll had previously sat on. "Of course, but you worry too much. She is probably having one of those days".

Donna sighed at her very much living doll "yes but those happen rarely anymore, now please Angie." Donna asked her once more. In fact she wasn't even asking she was telling her.

The doll ran into the hall and managed to get up the stairs with ease to Donna and Luciana’s bedroom. Of course it's hers too but she has a room by herself sometimes or just stays down the stairs with other dolls aka 'friends'.

Opening the door slightly so she could squeeze passed the gap. Luciana was on her side like usual but snuggling up to Donna's pillow. Angie chuckled at the sight before tapping the young woman on the forehead a few times.

The woman let out a whine and then some more as Angie continued poking her "Wake up Luciana!" She shreaked.

"Go away Angie" You coughed as she turned to face the wall, Donna's pillow still in your grasp as you hugged it tighter. Kicking the bedsheet off yourself as it was way too warm. "Someones moody, come on you've gotta get up!" Angie had prompted to try and budge you out of bed but clearly that wasn't working whatsoever.

"Angie no, I really don't think I can get up today" that immedietely put Angie in 'go fetch Donna' mode. So without another thought Angie rushed out of the room, leaving you to curl up in a ball and complain, you were definitely sick there was no denying that.

A couple minutes of being in the bedroom, nothing but silence and sometimes coughs and sneezes. You had tried to get comfy but nothing seemed to be working. Suddenly the door opening startled you to the point you sat up straight away only to see it was just Donna, a very concerned girlfriend she was.

You smiled at her, she removed the mourning veil from over her face as of course she felt comfortable around you, you smiled again, god she was so beautiful (if only your girls beauty was the cure to your sickness) she brightend up your morning.

"L-Luci my love are you alright?" Donna asks quietly as she sits at the side of your shared bed, you nodded your head 'yes' trying not to worry her too much but you knew she wouldn't believe you for a second especially because she must of heard you whining, coughing and sneezing.

"No, you're not, lay back" Donna instructed you, of course you complied. The raven haired woman placed her hand gently upon your forehead. "Oh you're burning up. Let me go get you some medicine and something to cool you down" Donna gives you a shy smile, just as she was about to get up from the bed you grab her arm "I'm sorry" you manage to get out without coughing.

You were supposed to be going out of the village to the store to fetch a few things and groceries today and you felt the need to apologise just for being ill. This was always a habit of yours, apologising for something so silly but you couldn't help it.

Donna sighs at you "there's no need to apologise, you can't help being ill sometimes. I'll send Tom the gardener out to fetch the groceries." Donna replies, she leans down and presses a kiss to your forehead "I'll be back in a minute, okay?" She adds as she gets up and walks out the room.

Angie keeping you company "you humans are so fragile. Quit being ill so we can continue those horror movies!" Angie oh-so enthusiastically points out as she sits bored on a chair in the bedroom.

You let out a low chuckle as you layed back down and turned to face the doll "sometimes we can't help being ill Angie and who said we can't watch the horror movies while ill?"

That response made Angie jump up in joy and made you laugh slightly even though it hurt due to the stomach ache you had also gotten. "Um, I did. Wait until you get better, Luciana darling." Donna walks back in the room with some medicine and a glass of water with ice in it.

Angie huffed and left the room to go find something else to do like hang out with the other dolls for a bit while Donna sorted you out. You sat up as she handed you the tablets and also a glass of water "Here these should help and at least ease some of the pain and get your temperature back to normal".

You took the tablets and drank most of the water no problem but your stomach really wasn't agreeing with it, you groaned falling back down onto the bed "Why did I have to have the bad luck of being ill" you complained to your doll-making girlfriend. Still keeping your silly humour regardless.

"You don't have bad luck my dear, it just happens." Donna responded but thats honestly not what you wanted right now, you just wanted to cuddle her. So again before she could get up you stopped her by grabbing her blouse "W-what is it?" she asked you, the shyness still in her voice even though she had known you since childhood and has literally dated you for the passed 3 years.

Still you thought it was cute.

You coughed trying to clear your throat "could you stay? I know you're busy but I don't want to be alone right now" you asked her, pouting.

And who was she to refuse, Donna blushed slightly. She would drop everything just for you and besides you're more important to her. "Of course".

You smile at her as she gets into the bed with you, instantly pulling you in her arms, she presses a few kisses to your lips "you'll get sick too if you do that" you chuckle in her arms. "Worth it" she chuckles.

You return the kiss but on her forehead, you didn’t want her getting sick either. If it was possible to get Donna even more flustered well this was the way to do it. "Can me and Angie still watch those horror movies later tonight?" you asked quietly.

"No, just resting tonight." You pouted at her response "buuuuut-" you dragged on.

"No buts, you can watch them tomorrow if you're feeling better but right now I just want to stay like this with you. Tom has gone to get the groceries, Angie is probably-

"Lovebirdsssss" Angie cut off Donna as she waltzed into the room and climb up on the bed "Donna, Florence wanted me to ask you what you would like for dinner later?" She asks.

"What would you like, darling?" Donna asks you.

You shrug your shoulders at first, the raven haired womans arms still wrapped around you "I don't know if I can stomach anything solid so soup?" you questioned. Donna was more than happy to have that for today and even Angie was fine with that (yes she is a doll but she can eat a very small portion of food if she wanted to).

"Soup it is" Angie over-exagerated her voice as she cheered making both you and Donna laugh as she jumped off the bed to inform the cook what everyone wanted tonight.

"You don't have to stay if you want to finish working on that doll you know".

"No no shush, I'm staying now I'm more than happy." Your girlfriend mentions reassuring you that she is just fine with staying by your side the rest of the day. You wondered how you got so lucky to have such a soft but shy and beautiful childhood best friend and girlfriend in one.

hey if you accept requests can you make a fluffy fanfic about Lucifer and Mammon being close? like that pic that you reblogged?

Hello, Anon! Omg, sorry for the long wait!!! 🥺💖 I was busy with irl stuff but AAAA I have finished the fluffy fic! I'm sorry if it didn't reach your expectations.😓 It was a bit difficult to write 'cause I'm not really used to writing fluff.😂 But I hope you like it!! (Also, I didn't base this fic off to the art that I had reblogged, but it's still a fluff fic!! It's fan art, and I think I need permission to write a fic about it.😅 So here's fluffy fanfic of Lucifer and Mammon being close.) Thanks for being the first person to request me haha. Please enjoy this. _ A Day To Relax. [ 1 & 2 ]

Mammon's back hurts; he did the best he could to organized the library at RAD. Maybe he deserves this, or maybe not. He sighs for the tenth time of the day.

There's nothing he can do about it because this was his light punishment for skipping classes again. Although he hates doing chores for his discipline, he needed to be a good big brother for Asmodeus.

Mammon decided to skip his classes so that he could be there to support his little brother. Everyone was busy at that time, with upcoming exams and projects, not one of the brothers could make time for Asmo. The latter understood. It's not like he could force his brothers to watch the stageplay with his classmates. But when he saw Mammon among the crowd with his D.D.D out, he almost cried while performing on stage.

(He felt a bit guilty when he found out that Mammon, believe it or not, skipped classes to watch him.)

Mammon stretched his back when he felt his phone vibrating. He took it out from his back pocket to receive a message from Asmodeus.

[Hey.

I just wanted to say thanks for supporting me there.

This beautiful brother of yours is going to treat you tomorrow! <3]

His lips cracked a smile. He feels soft and loved. Mammon chuckled as he took his bag, ready to go home. He had finished organizing anyway; he preferred to play on his phone for a while.

He started walking to the hallways; almost all of the demons were back to their places already. Some are doing their part-time jobs, and some are being lazy at home (Preferably Belphegor.)

"Mammon."

In instinct, Mammon quickly turned around. He already knows that deep voice.

"Are ya gonna assign me another chore to do?" Mammon quickly questioned his older brother, who was leaning into the student council's door frame.

Lucifer pinched the bridge of his nose, seemingly annoyed already. He pushed back his hair and fixed the wrinkles of his uniform.

"No. Well, if you want to do more. Your choice." With that answer, Mammon crossed his arms, a pout on his face— ready to complain. But Lucifer stopped him.

"Remember that cafe I showed you the other day? Let's go there, my treat." Lucifer stated; he laughed when he saw Mammon froze.

"I don't believe you." His eyes narrowed, looking for a flaw in Lucifer's face and words. "Are ya' truly Lucifer? What if you're a ghost possessing my big bro's body?"

Mammon intentionally loudened his gasp; his eyes were wide, one hand placed on his heart, while the other was grasping on his hair. He paused for a dramatic effect.

Lucifer brought his hand up quickly to pinch his brother's cheek. "You idiot. It's me, of course." He proceeded to ruffles Mammon's hair. "Come on, let's go before I change my mind and give you another chore as punishment. Maybe you could clean up the laboratory next time for a month."

He whispered the last part, but Lucifer knew Mammon could hear him, making the second-born whine.

The two exited the school, taking a detour through the streets.

"I thought yah were gonna give me another punishment." Mammon broke out the silence; Lucifer hummed before replying.

"Why would I? I only gave you a chore for skipping classes, but you being there for Asmodeus? You don't deserve punishment for that."

Mammon stared at the far distance. The cafe they were going to has a nearby sea, and he smiled at his elder brother's words; he enjoyed these simple moments between them. (They're rare. They don't hang out anymore like they used to do in the Celestrial realm. That's why, as much as possible, Mammon cherished these moments.)

Mammon could say that he's close with Lucifer, but not like before— It's weird. Lucifer is his older brother, his family. But as time passed by, Mammon started to get nervous whenever he had done something wrong. He doesn't want to anger and disappoint Lucifer. (But sometimes, he can't help it— he misses his big brother's attention.)

"We're here," Lucifer said. Mammon followed the latter's gaze and immediately formed star-shaped eyes.

"WOAH!! I didn't expect it to be this cool! I only saw the picture but never expected that it would be this big!"

Mammon kept looking around the newly built cafe. The cafe was a bit massive, with a view of the sea beside it. Its structure is similar to a casino. Mammon could already smell the fresh-baked bread and pies inside, making him giggle.

Mammon had loved the view it was showing; he could eat while staring at the horizon. The cafe was located on top of a hill, not too far from the beach. It looks so nostalgic and therapeutic that Mammon took his time admiring the whole place while Lucifer already entered the cafe.

Mammon wished it wasn't too expensive. He knows that Lucifer would be the one to pay, but he doesn't want to burden him with that kind of responsibility. The second-born tried to grasp the wallet on his bag, but then he hesitated. Mammon recalled that the money in there was a payment to his debt.

Ah, yes. Mammon needed to pay it today but decided it would be better to bond with his brother first.

He sighed, still has a firm grip on his bag. He's feeling unwanted emotions today. He wants to cry, laugh, or do something he doesn't usually do. Mammon was overwhelmed with emotions.

He remembered Levi's words that it's okay to be feeling emotions you usually can't explain. Sometimes, it doesn't have to be a reason.

Mammon's snapped out of his thoughts, thinking that Lucifer was likely waiting for him inside. He turned to see the display of different pastries outside, and Mammon immediately recognized Simeon's art.

Mammon recalled Simeon's word. He said that he's going to work part-time somewhere near the sea. And this made Mammon excited. He had already counted the treats and thinking which one would his brothers choose. After planning, he tried to hurry inside but suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder. Mammon looked over to his shoulder to see an unfamiliar demon. Their body is most likely the same size as Beelzebub but with a strict stare present. Mammon felt like he was burning.

"Heya! May I ask—who are you?" Mammon said; his tone wasn't that confident, and it's evident with his form that Mammon's going to run away in any second now.

He felt the grip on his shoulder got tighter, and the demon dragged Mammon into a less crowded area. He knows he's far powerful than this guy; he's one of the princes of Devildom. He's the Avatar of Greed. But man, he entirely wants to relax today. Mammon tried to stand with honor and kept his breathing in control.

The demon startled him. "Where's the money?"

And then Mammon realized.

"Oh!? You must be the brother's witch! Ah, here— give me a minute," Mammon took out his wallet and gave them the money. He doesn't feel that nervous anymore. Okay— he lied, maybe a little bit. Can't a demon have fears too? "Geez, you scared the hell out of me for a second there. The agreement was me and her meeting later." He muttered the last part.

But a dark aura surrounded him, and Mammon quickly backed away. He can't meet the other demon's eyes, but he can feel the rage from him.

Is the money not enough?? It can't be. I perfectly counted this; I also worked hard for this. What else could be missing???

"With all due respect, please don't go any nearer to him."

A voice. It must be Lucifer's. Mammon couldn't stop overthinking. What if Lucifer scolds him after this? What if Lucifer started to regret spending time with Mammon because of this?

Mammon looked up, tears threatening to fall. He saw his elder brother, standing behind them as classy as ever. His composure is straight, yet the glaring eyes are full of terror. Mammon recognized Lucifer's stance. It's for preparing himself to change into his demon form if the rest of his younger brothers are in serious trouble.

When the demon started to get closer to Mammon, the latter only felt a swift wind before realizing that Lucifer was there, in front of him now. "Didn't you hear what I said? What else do you need from him?"

"The money."

"It's not sufficient? Then alright, here." Lucifer took out his wallet to satisfy the demon in front of them. Mammon's full-out panicking now. His older brother saved him from trouble, and now he's going to be a disappointment in Lucifer's eyes.

"There, you got the money. Tell your sister that my brother had paid the debt." Lucifer dragged Mammon out of the other demon's sight. He looked back with sharp eyes.

"And as great as reasonable, if you're looking for Mammon—" He looked back with sharp eyes. "—strictly appear to see me. Thank you."

Both never turned their eyes back again as they entered the shop. Mammon quickly explained the whole situation. "I'm sorry! I'm sure— precisely sure that I had counted that money. And it's exactly the price the witch had been asking. I don't know what he's up to with—" He kept on babbling as they reached their reserved seats. Lucifer sighed.

"Look, stop chattering; it's annoying. I believe you. Can't I have a day where I relax with my little brother under no stress or orders whatsoever? Seeing you outside in that kind of situation is making my blood boil. How dare he waste such time when you and I could have been eating here already."

Mammon snickered, ah yeh— It's been so long that he forgot how dramatic Lucifer could be at times.

"Forget about it, Mammon. You had settled the debt, and the food that I ordered is already here. But make sure whenever you're going to meet someone concerning payment, always inform me. I'm serious. If the shares had been a burden to handle, you are welcome to visit my office anytime."

Lucifer already had bread in his mouth, but his expression is still irritable from the situation earlier. Mammon can feel his tears coming back again. Why am I so emotional today?

"Ah. Uhm, hey—" He called out to his older brother. "Thanks for backing me up earlier. I appreciated it!"

Lucifer munched the donut he was holding and then drank the newly served tea. His gaze was on the view outside, seemingly avoiding eye contact. "Hm? Of course. I'm your big brother after all, in case you forgot about it."

In moments like this, it was a rare scene between him and Lucifer. They usually argue and sometimes making each other's day stressful. But, just them eldest brothers, talking and sharing random topics— Mammon cherished this.

And behind that frown the eldest always wears, Lucifer could say the same too. He loved calm moments like this.

"But ain't Michael my first big brother?" Mammon teased. Lucifer rolled his eyes. "Silence, you have no elder brother other than me. Leviathan, Satan, Asmodeus, Beelzebub, and Belphegor, you all are my baby brothers." And when Lucifer realized what he said, he quickly replaced the topic. "And eat the dessert I ordered for you."

Mammon's eyes turned into stars immediately when he recognized the smell, "Woah, no way?! How did you know this was my favorite?!!! This desert is expensive! Big bro! You do love me."

Then they chatted, random topics or something concerning about their home that needs fixing. Nevertheless, the atmosphere around them is comforting and warming. After a while, they had finished eating, and the moon was already out. Both agreed to go home.

"We should invite the others here too!" Mammon stated as he breathed the cold wind that passed by them.

"Yes, that would be a pleasant bonding time. Just don't be too chaotic, please. It's hard to handle all six of you."

It was a great day, Mammon thought to himself. It was entertaining and soothing to talk with his big brother without insults nor orders. Lucifer treated him today; it was— nostalgic for Mammon. It's like he doesn't want this kind of treatment to end. But of course, as the little mischief, as he is, he asked one more request.

"Lucifer!" Mammon rolled the letter r, a bit of a whining tone. "It's night, and I'm tired, yah know? Can I request a piggyback ride?" He knows Lucifer will reject it immediately. So it wasn't like he meant it, already hoping for the worst.

But then Lucifer looked at him, a contemplating expression, before getting down on one knee.

"Alright, just this once. Hurry up before I regret my decision."

Mammon's eyes were wide; he smirked before quickly hugging Lucifer from behind. He felt himself getting lifted off, and it reminded him of the old times, back in the Celestial Realm.

Lucifer doesn't mind; he also missed this. But not like he's going to say this out loud.

I should start spending time with my little brothers whenever I'm free. That would be nice.
