Whats actually happened between you and taemaknae? I read about it on the tea blog and still confused

This is an insanely long story so I'm going to put it below the cut so for anyone interested in this absolute shit show, continue on.

Essentially, I posted these headers about a month ago:

It was a set of like 8 colours and it was the first time I had ever posted any headers or anything. The issue nic had with these, was the ripped paper bottom. Because apparently you can trademark that. I had asked a (now ex) “friend” of mine if she knew where I could find the ripped paper effect because I had seen the effect on the header of her network blog and I had been trying to find a similar thing for months and google images never gave me anything good. She ended up referring me to google images anyways and after like an hour of dedicated searching, I found this ripped paper effect and used it. This ex “friend” went on to tell another friend of mine that I had "asked where nicole gets her resources for her headers" and then screenshotted my dm as "proof", which still confuses me because I never mentioned nicole there lmao. I've seen the screenshot.

Tell me where I said nicole. It was literally just a question born from seeing the header they had on their network lmao. I feel it’s important to mention I didn’t know this person ran said network at that time, which is why i said “these people”.

This other friend then came to me and just said my headers "may be seen as similar to nic's” and said she noticed it on her own and never mentioned my other “friend” approaching her. I was confused because other than that ripped paper effect that I know many people on tumblr use, I saw no similarities. Nic's headers are usually more complex and more than just a coloured background with a little effect in it. I just wanted to make some simple headers for fun because I was bored. But, regardless, I messaged nic about it to make sure she didn't feel the same way. I told her a friend of mine was worried nic might think my headers are similar to her's and I assured her that if she found them similar I would take them down, no questions asked. Nic told me she was surprised this friend brought it up and told me that it was entirely up to me if I found the headers similar. She never once told me she felt they were the same, never mentioned anything about them, she insisted it was up to me to do as I pleased. So, since I genuinely found no similarities, I left them up.

About a week went by and things between nic and I were fine, or so I thought, based off the fact that she was interacting with my posts, sending me cute asks and replying to a lot of my comments and stuff being kind and whatnot. Then, I decided to post a small list of my creations and the series I had running at the time.

After that, all of a sudden I got an influx of rude hate anons:

To anyone I mentioned the anons to, they agreed with me, you cannot trademark circular icons. This anon also accused me saying “just the fact that you had an anxiety attack about it proves you copied them” Like no sweetie, it’s called three strangers walked into my house and I got anxious.

Despite me not seeing the issue, I messaged nic, assuming she wouldn't care about the icons (it wasn't like I was taking her exact work and copying and pasting them as my own) and that made her very upset. When she responded to me, she was incredibly heated and gave off the vibe she was waiting for me to message her about it.

She said things like "this has actually been bothering me for a while", "i expected you to be able to read between the lines and delete the headers", "i don't know who that anon was but clearly they recognize my style". For starters, she never told me that she was annoyed with me, she was being very kind to me publicly. And I have no idea how I was meant to “read between the lines” of what she said especially considering how kind she was to me the following days. I also never accused her of knowing this anon, she just insisted it wasn't her and she didn't know them right off the bat. She also insinuated that I copied my gifs from others as well, which ticked me off because I made my 100+ layer psd myself thank you very much. But I kept my cool, and I told her I had no idea she felt the way she did, and I told her I would delete the headers (which i did as the conversation was going on), and that I would stop posting my icons and bringing attention to them because no one ever paid it any mind before that point. And I asked her “please tell me straight up the next time you have an issue with me because I am generally pretty dumb with social cues”, I have my adhd to thank for that. And instead of replying, she just blocked me. And conveniently, the hate anons stopped dead right after we blocked each other and I haven't received any since.

Also, these are the kinds of icons I posted:

Looks pretty generic and idk, universal, right?

Then, as I've recently found out today, she was in an "anti-loverjimin" groupchat with at least 2 other bloggers.

Which explains why this all went and fell into place. I know who the two other bloggers are because of what happened two days later but I won't name them just yet, but these two people had been "friends" with me for several months. So, a day or two after nic blocked me, all of a sudden some good friends of mine were blocking me and not talking to me when I asked what was going on. I found out soon after it was because nicole and those two now ex “friends” of mine had taken old dms I sent them and were showing them to people. And I will go into detail about them but I won't name the people they are about for privacy reasons.

Before I move on, to clarify some lies nic has been spreading about me, I never once shit talked nicole to my friends. One of these ex friends also said I was trying to get people on my side. I would have reacted to this all very very differently if that were the case. I would be dragging everyone through the fucking dirt but I don't get off on drama or micromanaging what my mutuals do. My issues are with these people, if you're still friends with them that's your decision i could not care less. So, back to it, the only thing I said about nic was that she and I had a stupid small fight over icons and that she was spreading lies about me, based off of what nic said to jordan.

That exact message, or slight variations of it, was sent to anyone I interacted with because I didn't know if nic was going to stop at jordan or try and get to everyone I fucking knew lmao. Some of the people I messaged this to told ME nic had done this kind of thing before, that she has sent hate anons, launched hate campaigns, cancelled people, etc. Over stupid shit like icons lmao.

Here are some responses I received after I mentioned nicole:

And nic or one of her friends also took it upon themselves to send anons to that tea blog to blow shit up and named everyone and made it an even bigger mess when they saw no one was actively trying to fight me after the dms got out.

I also love that in this following ask, they named my two “friends” that were behind the whole dm drama and backstabbed me, as well as two other people I never badmouthed, that story was twisted. But we’ll get into those details shortly.

And she also told people I clout chased big blogs and only cared about notes. At one point, yes, I did care a lot about my statistics. However, never once did I think clout chasing was worth my fucking time or energy, Nic is the biggest clout chaser on this damn site and there are receipts of that, ask jordan lmao. And I couldn’t give two shits about my statistics anymore lmao, much less anxiety that way. Do I still crave validation sometimes? Sure. But it's not a driving force of my tumblr experience like it used to be.

But, moving on to the dms, the first one was sent when I first came back to tumblr full-time and didn't understand why people self reblogged things, I found the pretence of self reblogging annoying and greedy and I complained about it and it was a comment fuelled by two bloggers that i would see sr a lot on my dash. But I never thought THEY were annoying, as these people are saying I did, it was self reblogging I found annoying and as you can see I have come to understand why people sr and I do it myself too. I didn't even know these two bloggers at this time either. That dm was cropped to hide the fact that this "friend" agreed with me and hid the date as well so it seemed recent, and was sent to one of the bloggers I mentioned as an example, someone I had since become good friends with.

I didn’t befriend one of the people I mentioned there until mid to late June. That friendship is now over thanks to this drama and all the lies. The second friend of mine they went after was never spoken about in dms, they went and turned her against me through lies and manipulation so that friendship has ended too. And while those two were doing that, nic went off to try and turn jordan against me.

There was a particular user on here that I did say some nasty things about but we weren't friends, as many people have been made to believe. I was particularly mad at this person in those dms and was hurtful, I admit, and I have since apologized and owned up to all of it to these people. I did call them fake and/or two-faced.

And what in the gassing me up bullshit was their response though lmao. I also sent this following dm before I even talked about the issue with this person. They urged me to continue and to name drop the person, and I stupidly thought they were trustworthy.

My reasoning for what I said wasn't unwarranted though, I don't make a habit of going around shit-talking people, unless they do something to me first. I vent when I am upset and this person had sent me a passive aggressive ask and then denied sending it when I asked and I thought that was just very fake, especially since she was so kind to me in dms before the ask came in. But all of these dms were cropped too to hide timestamps and responses, and in most cases, like those screenshots prove, these "friends" either gassed me up or egged me on to continue ranting or to name the people i was mad at and they had agreed with me on several, several occasions. Turns out they were trying to get dirt on me to use in their cancel campaign. But the point is, nic has made me out to be this horrible person that befriends "big blogs" (an overrated statement) and then shit talks them behind their back without remorse. Yet it was one person I said rude things about and I, again, owned up to it all and apologized to them the first day. I would've done it sooner had I a) remembered feeling the way I did all those months ago or remembered the dms themselves or b) felt that way still after meeting them. But neither is the case.

I find it really amusing though that these people wanted things to be kept quiet and didn’t want anyone they spoke to to talk to me about it because I was going to “out them on my blog” and “make a big scene”, then they three went and made it a big fucking scene and ruined my friendships. I’m familiar with this pattern of manipulation as it has happened to me in real life before and it’s the most childish bullshit to witness.

Before this callout day for nic, I had never once been directly rude to or about her, same goes for those ex “friends” that betrayed my trust and friendship. The fact that they plotted against me in a group chat while still actively talking to me and being all buddy buddy is just disgusting. Both of them were talking to me that day at the same time they were sharing the dms and shit-talking me to my friends. But yeah, that's my side, the untwisted side, of the whole story. I tried to be mature and talk to nic and when I didn't do what she wanted me to do, she blocked me and launched the hate campaign with dms and the power of photoshop. I’ve been hesitant to make any of this public because it was meant to be a silent ordeal but I’ve grown tired of her constantly publicizing everything without consequence while I remain silent like I promised.

#anon #replied💌#tw:negativity #drama #long post #read at your own risk aha #its a shit show #idc if you rb it #pinning temporarily for the next day(sih)#ish*#edited with screenshots and whatnot that i forgot i had on my phone lmao

The newest event in Obey Me is horribly unfair to F2P players

Hello, I absolutely love this game and want it to grow and last a long time, I’ve been playing since day 1 and love it to bits. But, in the most recent events I’ve noticed a terrible trend, the events are slowly getting increasingly impossible for F2P players.

Back in the earlier events a player only needed about 60,000 points to get past pg.1, but in the most recent event you need 95,000 to get past page 1.

This is not good and, as a game designer, I feel I should express my concern and explain why I feel this. Under the cut you will see my reasoning and thought process.

The event that is currently happening as I make this is the Paws and Claws event

The cheat cards for this event are:

I’ll break down the total bonus point amounts for each card

SR Lucifer: +6 for first copy +1 every skill LV

SR Beel: +6 for first copy +1 every skill LV

SSR Mammon: +18 for first copy +4 every skill LV

UR Satan: +36 for first copy +6 every skill LV

UR Asmo: +36 for first copy +6 every skill LV

I will also like to establish how many stages there are for each page of the event, this event has 2 pages of levels with a grand total of 26 stages

Each stage lets you play 3 times for free each day, costing 8AP each

the player also gets 5 extra plays from watching ads, so if we take 26 x 3 + 5 = 83 plays per day,

Then we take 83s x 8e = 664 energy needed per day to get each free play per day.

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

Now for the next section lets assume that the player did not get any of the cheat cards and only has the default 120 points per play.

83s x 120p = 9,960 points per day

9960p x 11d = 109,560 total points during the event

109,560 is just over the final amount for the first page, getting them the SR demon card for the event. But this is assuming the player is able to do the Max amount of free plays each day which is easier said then done.

lets start by seeing how much energy the player gets during the typical day just via time.

The player gets 1 energy every 5 minutes with a cap of 100 (120 if VIP) that means that if we 24 x 60= 1440 then 1440 / 5 = 288 per day

that still leaves us 376 energy short of the needed 664 energy. so now lets add in the other free energy in a day

+60 from the daily 2 Beel missions

+30 from Ads

+20 from daily missions

+20 from interacting with demons after stages

potentially +50 from friends

= 180 energy from secondary sources

this gives us a total of 468 still 196 energy from the needed 664. And lets keep in mind that getting the 468 implys that the player is playing PERFECTLY doing everything every day. there are a few other ways of getting energy, such as the 30-50 energy we occasionally get in the gift box once a day, but that is not consistent, same with the energy gained from login bonuses.

There is also the energy from the event its self which has 230 energy available on the 1st page, but it should be viewed as a last resort boost when you need it so I recommend saving them for the half part of the event.

the way the player would be able to get the last remaining energy is from the daily flash sale where the player can get 200 energy for 10dp, but this will need the player to pay 100dp during the entire event, half of the daily intake of DP from daily missions.

But lets assume the player does not want to spend the 10dp, or does not see the flash sale since sometimes they take forever to show up. what is the total points they can get with the free energy they are given each day?

468 / 8 = 58.8, but we cant do .8 of a stage so 58.

58s x 120e = 6960 points

6960p x 11d = 76,560 points during the event

this will get you just above 2/3 of the way though the 1st pg, THE FIRST PAGE, so unless the player is willing to spend DP on refilling energy they are stuck without even getting the SR Demon card for this event. --------------------------------------------------

Now lets assume the F2P player is willing to go all out with the DP they do have for this event, how far can they get while still having 0 cheat cards?

The player gets 18DP everyday for doing daily missions, and roughly 50DP from the event.

this means they will get about 248DP during the event not counting any extras from other missions, devil tree, or potential compensation gifts. if you deduct the 100DP from the daily flash energy flash sale that leaves 148DP for other purposes, such as stage and normal energy refills.

it cost 5DP to refill 3 plays of a stage, so they can refill stages about 29 times, meaning roughly 87 more plays which will still only give them 10,440 more points getting them a grand total of exactly 120,000 points in this event not even the half way mark of the second page. At that point I personally don’t think it would be worth using the 148DP to get to that point, id suggest saving them or using them for the LV up flash sale since at least then you get 5 vouchers.

so to be clear, a F2P player with 0 cheat cards can only get around 120,000 points without spending money.

but this means they will be using all their DP on energy and stage refills, when I imagine most F2P would rather save for the level up flash sale for the 5 Demon Vouchers.

This also assumes the player is playing absolutely perfectly, without missing any Energy drops, which can be very hard for people to maintain while also sleeping, for 11 days in a row as from personal experience it gets harder to maintain as time goes on.

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

What does this mean?

I believe this is unfair for F2P players, especially when you look at past events when it would only take about 60,000 points for the first page, each event for the past few have raised the amount by about 10,000 - 20,000 thousand points which if they keep this up it will be almost impossible for F2P players to keep up. I understand that this is a company that needs money to run and continue creating this game we all love, but making it so the game is only viable for whales is not the way to go.

when it comes to mobile games there are roughly 3 categories of players

whales - big spenders

dolphins - people who spend some but not a large amount

Free 2 Play - do not spend

as a whole Whales tend to only make up a small portion of the player base, just look at the people in the top 10 of the current event.

See how quickly the numbers drop from absolute lunacy to more reasonable amounts (still a lot) meaning thousands of dollars difference between the people who payed enough money to reach that point. So by appealing to only those people they are alienating 90% of the player base, which is a very bad idea.

By alienating the majority of players they risk loosing the currently very active fan base around the game, as people get more and more frustrated and eventually give it up out of frustration. Obey me has been very lucky to attract such a large fanbase so quickly, its only about 6 months old at the time that i’m writing this and its already has a massive and active fanbase creating tons of fanwork and engaging with each other. But if people start to feel like the game doesn't care about them and only caters to Whales they will stop playing and the community will slowly start to wither.

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

My Suggestions

Several months ago Solmare listened to the feedback from players about how unfair they thought the events were and listened, they doubled the event stages allowing people to get more points then they could before, making it so F2P players could get to the end of the 2nd page if they put in the work. But by raising the point totals needed to get though the pages they are making that change completely redundant. Leaving us with events that take twice the amount of work for the same rewards as before. I understand they are figuring this out as they go and adjusting events constantly trying to work out a balance, but what they currently have is not good for the games long term as it will alienate a large section of the fan base.

I believe that that they should either lower the total points needed for each page or raise the default point total, to make it so a F2P player with 0 cheat cards can get to the end of the first page without spending any DP

if they put in the work. Then make it so people who have summoned some SRs and a SSR cheat card can get to the 2nd page reliably, then the 3rd page+ can be for people who are willing to spend money and or are just lucky enough in the gacha. this way there is still the incentive for people to pay money if they want to, but don’t feel like they are forced to. (Although I imagine people are already spending a lot in the gacha to get the cards they want anyway)

F2P people will still not be able to always get to page 3+ but this will also help long term for if/when they decide to do event re-runs. Since it would give players who where around for the first time something to still work for since they will likely be able to get the shards needed the 2nd time though.

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

What can you and I do?

It may not feel like we can do much about this, but Solmare has listened to the fans before. We also know that some of them do look at the content fans make and discuss.

SO talk about it, Tweet at them, share your displeasure, show your friends have them tweet it out, talk about it on the facebook page (be civil though), just kick up a fuss so they can see how much this is hurting the player base. if you don’t know what to say to them, you can even tweet this at them, copy and past it, do what ever, just let them know how upset you are.

Thank you for reading! and please, reblog this and spread it so others can see it.

Patton and Roman stood in front of the registry, watching as Virgil hugged his moms. They were both here alone, Patton’s parents being just a bit too far away for them to be here, and Roman’s mom had been unable to make it, but she sent her well wishes.

“Hi Miss Hannah, Miss Alana,” Roman greeted. They both pulled him into a hug in response, and Roman tried to hug them both back as best he could.

Virgil’s moms were probably the nicest people Roman knew. They lived relatively close to Patton’s apartment, and from the first day they met Roman and Patton, they had treated them like their own sons.

Hannah worked almost all the time, but Alana had a bit more flexibility to her schedule and always took time out of it to swing by the apartment and check up on Patton.

When Patton first came to the States and met his soulmates, and their parents, Patton’s parents had been...alarmed when they heard that Patton was spending time around people who choose to be in a relationship with someone other than their soulmate. And he had received a phone call from them where they urged him to “stay away from “those ungodly people”.

Patton had politely explained that Hannah and Alana were some of the kindest people he had met, not to mention the mothers of his soulmate, and that he would not cut contact with them, and suggested that they take a step back and see if God thought their bigotry was acceptable.

His parents had been upset, and so was Patton, but he told Virgil that his parents were wrong, and he wasn’t going to do something that didn’t sit right with him to make them happy.

Virgil had kissed him for the first time before he was even done talking.

Roman was pulled out of his thoughts by Virgil tapping him on the shoulder. “Ready Princey?”

He smiled and pulled Virgil into his side.

“Of course,”

“Leave it to government to take something as wonderful as being soulmates and turn it into a mountain of paperwork,” Virgil grumbled, signing another form. “My hand is cramping up.”

“This is possibly the most unromantic thing I’ve ever done with you guys, and it’s supposed to be one of the best days of our lives!” Roman said in agreement.

Patton didn’t join in their complaints, his attention was stuck on one of the last questions they had to answer.

Poly. Soulmates:

Please remember that all living soulmates must be registered at the same time. Any application for registry after the date of first application will be null. Re-registration is not permitted in this case.

All soulmates.

His heart clenched painfully as he stared at the page. After a while, his boyfriends noticed his silence. “Pat? Everything ok?”

Patton looked up with tears in his eyes. “Patton? Hey, what’s wrong dearest?” Roman got up and kneeled next to him. Patton handed him the paper and squeezed his eyes shut.

He heard the paper rustle and then warm arms wrap around him. He opened his eyes to see Roman holding him tightly and Virgil holding the paper with shaky hands.

“Does this-what does this mean? Does this mean what I think it does?” Virgil asked, face pale as a sheet.

Hannah and Alana noticed the upset, and despite promising they would leave them alone during the process, made their way over.

“What’s wrong? Sweetie?” Alana’s eyes were filled in concern as she took in her son’s distressed condition.

Keeping eye contact with Virgil, Patton choked out. “If we register today, any other soulmates would never be able to register with us.”

“So…”

“So Logan would never, legally, be our soulmate,” If we ever found him.

Virgil turned to his moms. “But that’s, that’s ok. Right? You guys aren’t ‘soulmates’ but you love each other and live together, so it’s fine. We could just be unregistered,” Alana pulled him into a hug, and she was crying too.

“Honey, I love your mom very much, and I wouldn’t change our relationship for anything, but living unregistered isn’t something I’d want for you. You don’t have the same rights. You wouldn’t be able to adopt, you wouldn’t be able to make medical decisions on behalf of your soulmate, you won’t be able to get insurance together,” She paused and cupped his face. “I don’t want you and your soulmates to go through what Hannah and I did.” Hannah came forward to hold her son’s hand. “And if you registered without him and then found him… Can you imagine how he would feel?” Virgil leaned into their touch and Patton buried his face in Roman’s shoulder, just breathing his scent.

There was silence as they all processed this information.

“So,” Roman started somberly. “I guess we have a decision to make.”

Virgil jerked his head up. “What do you mean? No we don’t.”

“Virge,” Roman started.

“No! This isn’t even a question. We’re not registering without him!” He shrugged out of his mom’s embrace to frown at his boyfriend.”Virgil,” Patton murmured softly, trying to sooth him.

“No Pat, no! We will wait.”

“Virgil, its been months-” Roman started again, his heart breaking for his boyfriends, but he felt resigned.

“I’m not giving up on him Ro.” The crack in his boyfriend’s voice was enough to make his shoulders slump, all the fight going out of him. He glanced over to Patton, who was silently crying, and walked forward to embrace Virgil in a hug.

“We’ll wait.”

Virgil’s moms wanted him to come home with them after the emotional visit to the SR, but Virgil had just wanted to be with his boyfriends. He promised them he would call tonight, and come home tomorrow to spend the day with them. The car ride home was silent. Patton was emotionally exhausted from the day and fell asleep almost immediately, and Virgil and Roman rode in slightly tense silence.

Their first ever fight had been about Logan. Virgil insisting that Roman didn’t get it because he hadn’t known him, and that he didn’t understand what it was like to lose a soulmate. And Roman had responded that ‘he must be some soulmate if he would abandon you.’

They hadn’t spoken for almost two days, but Patton had worn them down, and they made up with lots of tears and hugs. (And so many apologies.) But since then, it was a topic they tried to avoid. (Roman always hugged him a little tighter when he noticed messages to Logan on Virgil’s arms, though.)

(He no longer wrote any messages.)

Virgil fiddled with the sleeves of his hoodie, occasionally glancing over at Roman. He bit his lip. He wanted to say something, searching for the right words, but they all came up short of leaving his mouth. The silence was making him anxious. He was saved from having to start an awkward conversation when Roman broke the silence.

“Virgil. I’m…sorry about today. I know that I never knew him, and that I don’t really understand what your relationship was like, but I am doing my best.”

His words hung heavy in the air. Virgil felt relief wash over him.

“Thank you Roman. I know- I know you’re trying, and I appreciate it. I’m also sorry for today. I know we were all so excited but-” He stopped, looking back at his hands and sighing. “It didn’t feel right. I always feel so guilty being happy without him. And it feels like...like something’s missing. Like something’s wrong. And that’s not a comment on you guys, I love you and Pat so much. It’s just…” He trailed off eyes firmly fixed on the road.

“Something’s missing. I know.” He glanced over at Virgil, who seemed ready to drop the conversation. “I love you.”

Virgil looked at him, a tired smile gracing his lips. “I love you too.”

Patton, who had just awoken from his nap, also interjected with a, very sleepy, “I love both of you more. What’re we talking ‘bout?”

Virgil chuckled. “Nothing, Padre. We’re all good.”

Roman intertwined his fingers with Virgil’s and smiled back at Patton.

If they weren’t 100% good, that was ok. They would figure it out together.

Roman dropped his boyfriends off at their apartment, both of them exhausted from the day. He decided to head to the local coffee shop to clear his head.

The shop, Rise and Grind, was a favorite haunt of his. It also had the added perk of being super close to his college campus. The smell of fresh coffee washed over him as he entered, and he took a deep, appreciative breath.

He made his way over to the counter, and smiled when he saw his favorite barista was there. “Afternoon L.” “Hey Roman,” he greeted tiredly. Upon closer inspection, Roman noticed the horrible dark bags under L’s eyes, and the exhausted slump of his normal perfect posture.

“What’s up? You look dead on your feet,” L sighed but didn’t respond. “Can I take your order please?” Roman frowned, but consented, ordering a single shot of espresso. L wrote his name on his cup, accepted his payment, and started on his drink.

Roman learned against the counter while he waited for his drink. The shop was empty, save for one sleep deprived college student typing away at a laptop and holding their mug of coffee like it was the only thing keeping them sane. The lack of people was very unusual for this time of day, and L appeared to be the only employee here.

Roman was intrigued by L, and would be lying if he said the man wasn’t a big part of what drew him to this coffee shop. L, who always wore long sleeves despite them not being a part of the uniform. L, who helped Roman with homework the few times he had pulled all nighters at the shop. L, who was quiet and attractive and smart.

L handed Roman his coffee, he thanked him and headed over to a booth.

He drank the espresso quickly, appreciating the bitter flavor. He was scrolling through Instagram when he heard the sound of ceramic shattering.

He jerked up, realizing that the college student from earlier had accidentally knocked their mug off the table. “Shit! I’m so sorry,” They apologized, grabbing some napkins and dabbing at the mess. Roman spotted L staring at the shattered mug with a white face, shaking like a leaf. He started to slide down the wall to sit on the floor his eyes huge as he continued to shake.

Roman was out of his seat in an instant, having helped Virgil through enough of them to recognize a panic attack.

“Hey L,” He said as he squatted next to the man. “You’re ok, deep breaths. Everything is ok. Can I touch you?” L made a strangled sound and his breathing quickened, his hands clenching in his hair. “Ok, ok, I won’t touch you. Can you breathe with me L? In for four….” L took in a deep breath, but it all came out in a gasp immediately afterward. “That’s ok, let's try again yeah? In for four…hold for seven...out for eight. Great job L, you’re doing amazing. And again, in for four,” He breathed with L until his breathing was under control, and Roman reached out to gently pull his hands out of his hair. “There you go,” He murmured gently.

He glanced behind him and saw that the college student had respectfully pretended not to be paying attention, keeping their gaze focused on their laptop.

He looked back at L and lifted his hands to wipe away his tears. L flinched at the contact, and Roman immediately dropped his hands. “You with me L?”

“I am present, yes.” L murmured quietly. “I apologize for my outburst-” Roman cut him off with a tut. “None of that. There’s no reason to apologize. I’m just glad I could help.” L kept his eyes down. “Well, thank you Roman. Your help was much appreciated.”

“No problem. Do you want to talk about it…?” He left the offer open, hoping to be of some assistance to L, who looked so much smaller right now.

“I’d rather not. Thank you for the offer.”

“Ok. Will you be ok getting home? Do you need a ride?”

“My shift is not over, I’m afraid. I will remain here for most of the day.” At Roman’s frown, however, he sighed. “But when my coworker Remy comes in, I believe I will ask him if he can cover the rest of my shift.” L did seem more present, much more grounded, and Roman trusted his judgment. “Well if you’re sure.”

“I am. Thank you Roman. Have a nice day.”

“You too, L.”

Roman left the shop a couple minutes later, after being absolutely sure that L was ok. On the drive home, he mulled over the strong feeling in his chest, trying to decipher what it was. It wasn’t until he parked at Patton’s apartment did he realize what it was.

Oh. Shit.

rohan’s backstory part 2: hunt for power

finally, i’m proud to announce you the second part of rohan’s backstory. be prepared for a lots of twists this time. time to dive in...

robyn and hannah finally found the time to reveal their new nature when Nick organized a memorial evening for the anniversary of the “snow day” attack being foiled, but also as the anniversary of his parents’, Robin sr and Marian Wlde, death. After Robyn and Hannah gave a speech about how tragic the wave was, but nobody never lost hope against such a disaster, they fused right in front of the guests. Unsurprisingly, everybody was shocked, but not as much as hearing what happened at the canaries, about their infinity-based powers and about Robyn and Hannah keeping the secret and training their new abilities in secret for about a year. After Rohan answered everybodys questions about her, she finished her components’ speech by saying that as a gift for everybody who loved them, cared about them and would never stop, she would have made something impossible; then she snapped her right hand and the whole universe was engulfed by white light for a second. After the snap, Rohan fell unconcious to the floor, unable to move and intangible, but at the same time everyone discovered what the snap did when robyn’s dead siblings, Ryan Ronan and Reginald materialized in front of them from a small whirlind of dust, then Robyn’s grandparents came along materializing in the whirlind, followed by Hannah’s eponymus grandma, Little John, and old family friend, the former mob boss Mr Big and his guard Koslov and ,in the end, victoria todd, the biological mother of robyn’s sister luna. The snap had taken back to life everyone who died between the incursions of the underworld trio, from the last days of the wave disaster, all in perfect health, having aged as if nobody died and with full memories of what happened. Unfortunately, rohan was still unconcious and immaterial and the only way they could carry her was through an electrostatic box invented by their old friend Olivia which was able to catch all the molecules. They brought her to the mayor’s office believing it would have been a safe place.

After nearly eight hours, Rohan started to show signs of recomposing and gaining her conscience back, she would have been back in ten minutes, but unfortunatelty, there wasn’t time to celebrate, as a giant rift opened in the sky above the city hall bringing out a giant starship. Everyone knew that sign was no good and instinctively hid Rohan, hoping no one would find her until she was back. After a few seconds they hid her in the boiler room and squadron of eight green, strange looking aliens smashed into the roof inside the mayor’s office. They identified them as skrulls: alien mutants who could camouflage themselves as any other living species and mimic superpowers. The drop team was lead by a skull called Kl’RT, although he wanted to be called Super Skrull; he claimed to be in search of the fragments of the infinity gems to rebuild the skrull empire and bring glory to it. Nobody knew what was the green leader talking about and remained silent, but when the super skrull mentioned that six fragments dropped into that dimension and listed some of their abilities, after hearing one of said powers was to bring back to life anyone with a snap, everyone (especially Robyn and Hannah’s friends, Kodi, Kion, Olivia and Alice and Robyn’s sister luna) immediately connected the dots and locked the door, while managing to fend off the skrulls; unfortunately the skrull were no match for them, beating everyone and leaving them unconcious, except for Robyn’s mother, Judy and Hannah’s mother, Skye, who they wanted to use as a bait to lure their daughters out.

Meanwhile, Robyn and Hannah found themselves into a strange world composed by a large speck of marble and some ruins, greeted by six spirits, each one colored as the fragments. Those spirits identified themselves as the infinity gems, leaving the married couple astonished for two reasons: 1) they couldn’t believe something tecnically invented could exist, 2) they discovered to be invented charachters from a fictional universe themselves by talking to the spirits. The most important discovery though was why they had basically all the power in the universe, or the multiverse after their discovery of multiple dimensions: in another universe, a group of the most powerful superheroes called the Illuminati, formed by six powerful superheroes of the marvel universe: Iron Man, a genius playboy philantropist millionare turned hero, namor, king of atlantis and the sea, Mister Fantastic, leader or the fantastic 4, Professor x, protector of all mutantkind, Doctor Strange, the sorcerer supreme and Black Bolt, king of the inhumans. They used the gems, wielded by Captain America, the first avenger, to avoid the collision of their universe with a parallel one, but since time ago it was declared the gems could not act together this led to the destrucion of all the gems, especially the time gem whose fragments were scattered through time. In the end Robyn and Hannah learned that the fragments couldn’t find a better possessor over time, but then the infinity spirits found them: during the time of the wave, they were living in a corrupt world, on the brink of collapse, where everybody lost itself, but not them; Robyn and Hannah stayed true to themselves despite all the madness such a disaster could bring, had the power to go through such a situation for so long, they lost loved ones, their minds were torn, but they never gave up, neither stopped loving each other and, literally, they had superpowers. Those feats were more than enough for the spirits to consider the two hybrids worthy. And that was why Robyn and Hannah had the powers of infinity. They thanked the spirits and those greeted the wives back, claiming they could have changed everything. Then they started gaining their concioussness and physical form back.

When they woke up into Rohan, she felt a giant headache and then she heard the scream of Judy and Skye being held. She ran out of the boiler room, only to find everyone lying numb on the floor, except Judy, Skye and the skrulls. Kl’Rt debreifed them about the situation and ordered them to hand him the gems. He was unfortunate not to know he shouldn’t have messed up with the giant hybrid: rohan seemingly gave in, asking for her mothers to be freed; the request was fulfilled, at the terms that Rohan should have gone with the skrulls. As Rohan started advancing to the leader, she quickly started a fight with him, punching the green baddie in the chest and breaking his ribcage; the other skrulls quickly dropped into the fight only to have their ass handed by rohan, one with subdued by rohan’s fighting skills, the other six soldiers were killed, each one by a different power of the fragments. The Super Skrull was not willing to give up and plummeted onto her enemy, seemingly gained the upper hand, until Rohan reunited the fragments into a single gem on her fist and punched it against the super skrull, this time though Kl’Rt was invested by a surge of energy he couldn’t contain. As Rohan kept pressing, the skrull’s body kept flowing energy within, at the point it couldn’t contain anymore. Rohan finished him by blowing his body and soul up. The explosion also blew up the roof of the city hall, but, fortunately, no one else was harmed. The helicopters with the journalist were quick to arrive on the scene when they saw the explosion and started asking questions to rohan. Thinking about what the spirits said, Rohan deicided to take a risky gamble: tired of hiding secrets and knowing said secrets would have been discovered afterwards by die-hard conspirationists, Robyn and Hannah unfused right in front of everybody, revealing to the whole Zootopia their secret identities, their fusion nature and told everything happened inside the city hall: from the drop squad breaking in to the leader blowing up. They clamied to have done so because they felt zootopia needed to know the truth and didn’t want to cover up everything with some half-assed excuse. The only thing they didn’t give away was their companions secret identities, which were safe… or so they thought.

DUN DUN DUUUUUN!!! zootopia knows about robbyn and hannah’s secret! what will happen next?

i will release other rohan based content before publishing the third, and last, part of her backstory. at that point i will be free to post everything. please, as usual, reblog, like and share.

thank you and see you zotopians
