Hate To Love You (PJM Drabble )
Tumblr media
Summary- you and your ex husband, Yoongi, reunited at one of your mutual friends party. You haven’t spoken to him in years in resentment for his behavior towards you and assumed he despised you just as much, only to find out it’s actually the opposite, despite you being ready to move on when someone unexpectedly shows up….your best friend.
warnings- well its basically a friend hookup thing, minor smut (oral female receiving) (no penetration) sexual tension, swearing, alcohol, mentions of divorce and cheating, angst, sadness
rating- 18+
It was a stupid argument, really
You never guessed it would spark the conversation that would months later be the result of your divorce with Yoongi.
"you are just always at work, and I understand-"
"you cant get upset with me for working, y/n, who the hell would pay for all the bills?" he scoffed, sitting at the desk in his recording studio.
taken back, you decided to defend yourself against your husbands sudden coldness.
"I work too, thank you very much"
"you work two days a week in an office"
"so?" you stood, beginning to grow annoyed "I still make money and pay for half the shit we own"
He laughed, seemingly amused at your efforts, "you dont have the pressure to make said money, y/n, and plus, our jobs, our lives arent...."
"arent what? yoongi?"
He sighed, "dont you have higher aspirations for yourself? rather than working twice a week?" he looked over, quick to defend his statement before you flipped out,
"I know you work, y/n, but you cant compare our schedules....I hope you see what im trying to say?"
Scoffing, you paced around, you felt insulted. You didnt have the pressures of being a musician, sure, however you still had to take on the pressures of being a woman, wife, the maid, the chef, the doggy daycare worker, the therapist, etc etc because the list can go on for hours
You sensed the conversation took a turn in a direction you had not been aiming for, your objective was to kindly seek more time off with your husband considering your 4 year anniversary was coming up, and he took it and did a 360.
It didnt get better, either, because this exact conversation would end up becoming the topic every time you argued, and in a short amount of time it quickly got heated.
"Yeah, you are probably off somewhere between her legs, because wouldnt you fucking love that yoongi??" you threw your water bottle at him as he stood at the doorway of your bedroom, he watched you intensely
"I told you, I had to stay late tonight, I fucking texted!" he defended
"you are telling me you were in that fucking office until 3am? okay..."
He brushed his hair back in disbelief, "yes, if you dont believe me, text hoseok"
"Let me see your phone then" you spoke up after a few moments
"what?" he scoffed
"phone, let me see it"
".....y/n, you dont trust me?" he seemed genuinely upset at this, putting his guard down
"no, I dont"
"that girl who works as an intern has never even spoken to me, you think im off having sex with her??" he snapped
You shrugged, keeping your arms crossed, "I dont really know what to think anymore yoongi, you keep disappointing me, we keep disappointing each other, it seems."
He glared at you, trying to read your face, you were serious. "well then what are we doing this for?"
You bit the inside of your cheek and shrugged again, shaking your head and looking down, "I dont know."
and thats exactly how one week later, you showed up at his job with the divorce papers, slamming them on his desk silently.
And thats what leads us here tonight, at Namjoons house party exactly a year and a half later.
The divorce was never finalized, never made legal, he put it off until you threw your hands up and moved out, and if anyone asked- you were a divorced woman, no long a Min.
You swore you would never trust him again, never him creep back into your life in the same way he always tried. you were done, over him, even.
But God, did it strike the deepest nerve in your system when you saw him sitting on the couch, his arm draped around some other girls waist while he chatted with friends.
You watched, leaning against some crowded doorway with a half drunk cup of liquor in your hand.
"bored?"
you looked to your left to see your friend Jimin pop up next to you, almost scaring you.
"jesus, jimin" you sighed, turning your body away from yoongi to look at the boy in front of you.
"seems like you are not having fun, we can change that" he smiles and holds up another expensive bottle of alcohol, making you groan.
"rather not have a hangover tomorrow" you frowned and looked back at yoongi, Jimin noticed.
"hey, whos that hes with?" he asked, following your gaze to the crowded couch in the other room.
"no idea..." you exhale, turning back to jimin with a sad look.
"oh my god" he froze
"what?"
"dont tell me"
you tilted your head in confusion "tell you what?"
He began to smile, laughing almost "you are jealoussss"
You scoffed, nudging his shoulder "no-im not. we arent married anymore I dont give a shit what he does"
"seems like you do, though" he smirked
your face fell into your hands before shoving him teasingly, something that caught yoongi's eyes as he gazed across the room at your back facing him. You were talking to another guy.
"I know you guys arent even divorced legally" he whispered
"what? yes we are!"
"yoongi spilled the beans...no you arent"
You frowned, crossing your arms. "that motherfucker."
"he was drunk and was going on a whole tangent about how he refused to sign the papers and what not...tried to like, push it back as much as he could"
You shook your head "when was this?"
"like a week ago, when I mentioned you would be at the party"
"Jimin we havent even talked in over a year....pretty sure he blocked me, why the hell would he care?"
He shrugged and looked back at the couch, surprised to see Yoongi looking already at the two of you.
"I dont know...but something tells me he cares a lot more than you think"
"dont be cryptic and ominous" you rolled your eyes, "what do you know that I dont? what did he tell you? be honest" you pleaded
"listen" he half smiled, "all im saying is that you two had known eachother for 8 years before getting married, then you were together for 4 more years, I dont think that kind of connection suddenly falters you know?"
"no-I dont know, I know nothing at all"
"ok well you are impossible to talk to, also- you suck at taking hints" jimin teased before turning to walk away, "oh, and by the way, hes been staring at you for the past few minutes"
You froze and turned your body slowly, jumping when you realized Yoongi had gotten up from his distant seat, and was now right behind you.
"holy fuck" you gasped, putting a hand over your heart.
He didnt say anything, his casual blank emotion plastered over his face as his hands fell into his pockets. "hi" he mumbled
"hello?" you scoffed, "you scared the shit out of me to say 'hi'?"
he slightly smiled, "yes"
you glared at him before walking past, directing yourself to the kitchen, he followed behind, unable to help his gaze trail from your back, down to your ass-the dress you chose to wear tonight definitely suited your figure.
"why are you following me? are you lost?" you sarcastically mumbled, turning away to grab some of the crackers that were next to the snack trays, softly nibbling onto them.
"what were you and jimin talking about?"
"oh please" you laughed, turning to see him, "this is why you are talking to me? for the first time in a year? to discuss jimin?"
he nods.
"hes in the other room, heard he is single, your hair is nice-you might have a chance" you joked coldly, wishing you could run away right now.
he released an airy laugh, leaning against the counter as he waited for the random person in the room to leave before speaking, "You look nice"
You raised an eyebrow, "...thanks...you do too i guess?"
"im just complimenting you, didnt have any mal intent behind it" he gazed at you "its not like we are strangers, you know"
"i know" you mumbled, continuing to eat the dry ass crackers.
He sighed and looked around the kitchen, grabbing a drink for himself.
"dont you have some girl to entertain, why are you sitting in here with me?"
He laughed, "you have not changed at all"
"whats that mean?" you asked defensively
"i mean, we havent spoken in so long and you still only care about if other girls are getting into my pants" he smirked, taking a sip of his drink.
son of a bitch.
"I dont care! also-dont need to know!" you pressed your lips together tightly.
He sat silently, watching you
"stop staring at me, freak" you sighed, knowing you could just walk away but somehow didnt choose to.
"you know your mouth is gonna get dry from all those crackers" he spoke calmly.
"i can handle my own, thank you" you spoke, putting down the stack of crackers in your hand.
He smirked and walked over, tipping your chin up to press his cup of alcohol to your lips, giving you a sip, "there you go"
You stared wide eyed at him before taking a step back, wiping your mouth. "what do you think youre doing?" you bit
“Socializing. It’s a party, no?” He raised a brow, pulling back a little
“Go socialize somewhere else, you’re in my personal bubble” you fixed your hair and tried to calm your breathing before once more pushing past him, walking into the other room.
He snickered and took another shot before catching one of his friends and striking up a conversation.
“How’d it go?” Jimin suddenly popped up next to you, scaring you again.
“You need a fucking bell”
“Sorry” he giggled, standing next to you against the wall.
“Literally nothing happened, he is still the same snappy person he’s always been” you spoke, eyes trailing over across the room to see yoongi speaking with his friends. The purple lighting of the party reflected onto his long black hair and pale skin, no one could deny his beauty, especially when he smiled.
Jimin noticed, a softer smile peaking up onto his lips, “do you want me to go speak to him for you?”
You immediately shook your head, crossing your arms as you tried to change your glances at someone else, eyes shooting onto Nayeon who was 2 seconds away from making out with jungkook.
“Get a room” you whisper
Jimin laughed, “rather quick to the point”
“Jimin shut up” you whined, “I wasn’t talking about you! I was talking about-“
“Wait” he perked
“What??”
Jimin giggled mischievously and looked back at yoongi before looking back at you, “just be honest, you still have feelings for him, huh?”
“No!”
He raised his eyebrows
“Jimin-“
“Admit it! It’s okay!”
You sigh and cover your face, “jimin….of course I do….I just can’t stand who he is now. I fell in love with the old him, before everything came crashing down…I have to remember that’s not him anymore”
He smiled gently, rubbing your shoulder “he has changed”
“No he hasn’t, and it took less than 5 minutes of banter to figure that out”
“Y/n, he still….” He stopped himself from talking, realizing it might not be his place to say.
“What? He still what?” You inquired
“Nothing…”
“Jimin.”
“He may or may not have feelings im not sure I can’t remember”
Your eyes widened before relaxing “yeah no, he was flirting with other girls like a few minutes ago”
“Mmm….maybe he was trying to get you jealous”
You rolled your eyes at his words
“I saw we give payback”
“What….?”
He smirked, “cmon, pretend to be up all on me or something, he’s looking, he will get jealous”
You laughed, “I don’t think he will believe the fact that I’m interested in you”
He pretended to be offended
“Hey, you’re cute but we are friends and have been since diapers, I don’t see us like-“
“God you complicate everything, just…follow me” Jimin sighed, taking your hand and throwing yoongi a quick glance before leading you up the stairway behind you.
You followed along, trying to see what Yoongi’s reaction was as you crawled upstairs, he seemed annoyed, eyebrows scrunched up in confusion.
Jimin led us into a room and shut the door, a smile on his face as he searched for the light switch.
“It’s dark” you whispered, “we didn’t actually have to hide in the room you know, we could have just sat in the hallway until he came up for me”
“Whatever, if we are playing the part we do it right” he mumbled, still scanning the wall with his hands trying to find the switch. “I can’t find it”
“Whatever” you huffed, sitting behind the door and tucking your knees to your chest. You don’t know who’s room your in, the only light noticeable is the moons reflection peaking in from the windows.
“You ok?” He whispered, finding a spot next to you.
“I don’t know” you shrugged, “I just….wish I never showed up to this party, and I wish you never told me yoongi still has feelings for me”
He felt suddenly guilty, “I’m sorry”
“It’s okay, I think …despite me still having ‘feelings’ for him, I just need to be away from yoongi. I fell in love with him years ago, he was so different and family oriented….he has changed so much and I can’t submit myself to that just because it’s him, and I’m attached”
He nodded, taking your hand “I understand”
You tried to even your breaths in fear of crying, “he treated me badly, and I did the same to him, we don’t work together and I refuse to try again just because he thinks it’ll be good for us”
“That’s reasonable, y/n, you can make your own decisions, im sorry if I put you in an uncomfortable situation”
“It’s not your fault Jimin, if you weren’t here I wouldn’t have even come to this dumb party anyways” you slightly smile
“Hey, I’m always here for you” he raised his hand in a fist bump, where you happily reciprocated.
“Thank you, I’m here for you too Jimin”
He hummed softly “do you wanna go back downstairs?”
You thought for a moment, “not really….I might head home soon anyways, you can go back though”
He shook his head “nah, I’ll chill with you until you decide to go”
“Really? You don’t have to, I know you have many possible girls and boys downstairs for you to entertain” you giggled
“Eh…”
“You’re like the number one flirt, don’t tell me there’s no one at this party that has hookup potential”
He sat for a moment, looking down at his knees as he quickly tried to wipe the smile off his face “mm…nope”
“I doubt that” you snicker
He shrugged, an eyebrow raised as he kicked his feet out straight in front of him, arms in his lap.
“I don’t know if I would hook up with anyone here, yoongis friends are okay looking but the idea of doing it with anyone associated with him just grosses me out”
You both giggled as he nodded “nah that’s reasonable, I almost hooked up with one of his studio friends and then I found out he literally had a girlfriend”
“What!??” You looked at him despite the dark room making it difficult to see his face
He nodded shamelessly “yup” he popped his mouth at the “p”
“It probably would have been bad sex anyway” he couldn’t help but laugh at himself
“I mean yeah, not to talk shit but yoongi and I usually didn’t have the best chemistry with shit like that, must be the studio guy genre” you joked
“Really?? He looks like walking sex, you’re telling me it sucked?” Jimin questioned
“It didn’t suck necessarily but….I don’t know I don’t wanna talk behind his back”
“No no no tell me” Jimin giggled “because a few months before you got “divorced” he was preaching about how good he was to you in the bedroom”
“He was discussing me in front of all his male friends?….”
“Nothing graphic, that’s all he said is that he knew how to satisfy a girl” he shrugged in defense
You rolled your eyes “yeah….sure yoongi.”
Jimin laughed
“He…god this is embarrassing…I wouldn’t even finish most times, and I had to fake it”
“No way” he seemed genuinely shocked
“Yeah, maybe I faked it a little too good, striked his ego up and shit” you giggled, hiding your face.
“So you’ve never had an orgasm?”
“Oh I’ve had a few, but like it was always 50/50, I never knew if it was gonna be a good time or not you know”
He nodded, taking in the information as you spoke.
“But whatever..” you sighed, leaning your head against the door. “We should probably head downstairs”
He sighed, looking at you as you began to stand to your feet, he stood too. “We don’t have too”
“Well what else is there to do?” You giggle “we can’t sit in the room forever, it’s pretty late too”
He looked at you as best he could
“I could give you an orgasm” He calmly spoke like it was no big deal
Your eyes shot wide open, “w-what??”
He shrugged, silently
“What did you say?” Your voice was startled
“ I said I could give you an orgasm, if you want one”
“Um….Jimin you are my friend” you whispered
“I know, I just feel bad after hearing about the yoongi thing, and I want to make it up for you”
You tried to not freak out at the fact your best friend calmly asked if he could make you cum.
You bit your lip, “uh…”
“We don’t have to do anything” he gently waved his hand “it’s just a sudden horny suggestion”
You softly giggled, looking at your feet.
“Wouldn’t it be kinda, I don’t know, odd?”
“Not really I guess, I mean I always thought you were hot”
You blushed, feeling suddenly overwhelmingly shy.
“Do you think I’m attractive?”
You bit your lip nervously.
It would be a lie to say you’ve never thought about Jimin like this, which is why it’s such a shock that it was randomly happening in some random persons bedroom at Namjoons party.
“Yes” you breathed out
Jimin smiled “then…the offer stands” he begins to walk towards the door before you gently hold his arm and stop him.
“Jimin”
He looked back, a soft expression as he waited for you to finish speaking.
“Make me forget” you whispered after a few silent moments, your faces close together as he began to smile slightly.
“Are you sure?” His voice was low and quiet
You nod slowly
“We don’t have to, you seemed unsu-”
“I’m sure” you began, “I’m just kinda in shock that it’s actually happening”
He giggled “you’re cute…come here” he gently held your hips in his hands, your heart racing faster than it ever has as he pushed you softly against the door.
Jimin finger raised to his mouth, “quiet, mm?”
You nod, already feeling breathless before his lips suddenly crash into yours, taking any air out of your lungs.
Your hands flew to his hair, pressing him against you as much as possible. “Mm” he moaned against your lips, the vibrations sending straight to your core.
He didn’t fail to notice your red, blushed face even in such a dark room. “You okay” he quietly panted, pulling back a little
“I-I’m okay, that was nice”
“Good” he laughed, returning his lips to yours for a quick peck before trailing down your jaw and neck, so slowly that you felt you were going to explode.
He had you trapped against the door and his body, Jimins warmth only stimulating you more.
“This okay..?” He whispered, pulling his lips away from your cleavage as he fell to his knees, arms softly trailing your sides.
“Yes jimin, it’s okay”
“You trust me?”
“Mm” you nod, feeling his fingers at the hem of your dress, thighs tingling. “I trust you”
With that- jimin gently folded up the bottom half of your dress, exposing your laced red underwear, he felt prideful in seeing the slight wet mark that had dampened them. He went against mentioning it in fear of embarrassing you, rather instead keeping the image in his head that he was able to do such thing to you.
“I can take these off? They are so pretty” he whispered, looking back up at you
“Yeah you can….” You bit your bottom lip, trembling slightly
His fingers delicately hooked into the hem of your underwear, slowly pulling them down while making sure you were still okay with his actions.
“Tell me to stop and I will, okay baby?”
The pet name had you almost moaning, you found the strength to nod, “o-okay”
“God….so perfect” you mumbled to himself once he caught a glance of your dripping core, he’s never seen anything like it.
Jimin took a breath after tossing your underwear to the side, his hands climbing up your thighs as he encouraged you to part them for him, his two fingers gently exploring your folds, pressing against your clit, making you gasp.
“Oh-” you pressed your lips together and leaned your head back against the door behind you, knowing that there are possible people on the other side who might hear.
He was in amazement at how wet you were, the soft squelch sound was the only audible noise in the entire room, making your cheeks red.
You tried to thrust your hips a little to silently plea for what you wanted, his eyes raised up to you
“Use your voice, tell me what you need”
“Jimin….” You whispered, his fingers still slowly rubbing your bud. “Your m- ah…your mouth please”
You wanted to fall into the floor as you heard how needy your voice had become for your friend, but one look at his shit eating grin and suddenly you reminded yourself he was enjoying this just as much as you.
“Okay baby, remember, be quiet yeah?”
You nod and close your eyes, preparing for what was to come.
The moment you felt jimins plump lips reach your core, your arched your back away from the door, moaning softly “oh shit, jimin” a hand reached down to rest atop his head.
“Mm taste so good” his voice was pressed against you, the vibration only stimulating you more. “Here baby” he pulled away a little, helping you lift a leg and throw it over his shoulder so you hadn’t lost your balance while standing.
His tongue resumed to your clit, sucking and swiping through the wet folds, savoring the flavor that was you
“Oh…fuck jimin!!” You whined, throwing a hand over your mouth as you squeezed your eyes shut, “it’s so good”
Jimin brought up the hand that wasn’t holding your leg, tracing it up your thigh before pressing a finger into you, the wetness making it easy for him to slide in.
He groaned, “oh shit”
Your mouth had fallen into a small o shape, the pressure of his one finger turned into two, and before you knew it, he was curling them upwards and around, searching for your g-spot
“J-jimin!” Your hand clutched his hair, he only smirked before returning his lips to your swollen clit, sucking vigorously as if it was his sole mission in life to make you cum all over him.
You suddenly moaned out loud, mentally cursing yourself for the volume, he knew in that moment that his skilled fingers had found your frontal wall perfectly, he continued to press into that spot quickly as the wet sound between your legs got louder and messier, tongue lapping at it all.
“Jimin im gonna cum, oh god, oh god” you whispered, squirming your hips a little so you were quite practically riding his face.
He silently encouraged you, the hand holding your leg up began to softly rub into your skin, giving your permission to let go.
“Fuck!!” Your vision suddenly turned white with one last thrust against your g-spot, you tried to balance yourself before you felt jimin help you keep still, “shit” your voice was shaky as the orgasm ripped through your body aggressively, his fingers swiping between you to gather your slick, licking them off in front of you.
“How was that?” He panted, pulling your dress down as he stood
He gave you a moment to catch your breath, “that was….so….oh my god”
He laughed, reaching down to pick up your underwear “I’ll take it was nice?”
“Absolutely”
“Good” he smirked, pressing a quick kiss to your lips. “Here” he whispered, giving you back your undergarments.
“No no” you smiled, taking them and putting it into his pant pocket
“Oh?” He raised a cocky brow, “does this mean I qualify for a second round?”
You smirked “do you have plans this weekend?”
“I can clear them” he spoke quickly, making you laugh
“Ok…let’s go before people get suspicious” you whisper, trying to quickly make yourself presentable as if he didn’t just suck the life out from between your legs.
He nodded and helped you fix your dress more before opening the door, both of your eyes following over to yoongi who stood on the other side of the hall, watching you.
“Oh fuck”

*more grumpy grumbling and astra yells at the void ( that evidently contains lovely friends)* (i mostly just need to put this somewhere other than rattling about in my head.
Im disappointed but not even particularly surprised that ive only managed to read two of the readings and come up with half if im generous of a thesis statement though ive had all day. And even then im having trouble convincing myself that its not utter nonsense that im spouting, likely related to not feeling great about stuff rather than actual skills. Probably. Plus i need to actually research to get more sources and Write the bloody thing. I was even enjoying the reading and analysis in the morning but then i lost track of that and now im mostly just stressed because i really need to get this done. and its not something that’s possible to pull off the day before which im very aware of, and im not sure i even know where im going even though i do Know that this is something i can do and figure out but i cant even talk it over with anyone because no one knows what im going on about (online study is a fucking joy) but my cat who at this point probably deserves to be coauthor of this assignment.
And in addendum ow my everything hurts from sitting at my desk because my body is kinda shit.
((And then the thunderbirds episode polls thing is stressing me out and has pretty much from the start hence i havent really been participating, because even though it’s supposed to be a fun and non serious thing, i really dont like the whole pitting episodes against each other premise, when so many are so good for such different reasons and id rather have fun analysing and appreciating this and even comparing but not with any aim of seeing which is “”best””. But everything in the fandom seems to be about the polls lately. Plus it’s genuinely upsetting people too. So going to sit in the corner with a pile of blankets as a non participant.
…*dissolves into screeching*

-
He’s looking over to the horizon with the binoculars one more time, last week’s surveillance was tough but luckily doable. They managed to see more and more of the ‘stronghold’ by using teams, just like he suggested.
He and McAllister did good…of course the young pilot was very excited and couldn’t help himself most of the time but he managed it. Mav stayed on the ground, sharing whatever information he could with them. Now that they knew the basic layout, Rooster could create a better attack plan without the fear of the artillery strikes hitting them.
There were at least four that he could see, aimed up at the sky.
“How do they even get that type of technology?” he hears Maverick ask, “First it was back at the facility, now this?’
“Are we really surprised?” and he adjusts the zoom so it tightens the image in the lenses “We knew to expect some shit like this.” Rooster continues to survey the horizon with the binoculars, taking in the details of what he could see from the stronghold, it was barely there, just the tips of roofs and nothing more. "We've encountered advanced technology before, the sons of bitches are resourceful. We have to stay one step ahead."
"Those artillery strikes are a concern," Maverick remarks, his voice tinged with a hint of urgency. "We'll have to factor them into our plan. It won't be easy, but with the information we've gathered, we can find a way to neutralize them and minimize the risks."
Rooster nods,his eyes never leaving the horizon, as if he wanted something to show up just so he could have more. "You're right. We have to be prepared for anything they throw at us. I’d say we have 20% done."
“Only 20%?”
“Make it 30. We want them to think they have the upper hand for now.”Rooster's gaze returns to the binoculars, his mind already processing the gathered intelligence. He knows that the success of their mission relies on careful planning, a lot of it. He promised himself he wasn't going to lose anyone…and he always came through his promises. 
He hadn’t looked into his phone for a few days now, he knew Bea sent him a message but he was just…busy. He was busy and he was focused and she’d understand.
"We'll come up with a solid plan," Rooster states, lowering the binoculars finally, heaving out a sigh. "Do we have anything else?"
“Besides what we know? Not so much, but I think we’ll be alright.”Maverick's eyes meet Rooster's when his nephew made a tired sound in his throat, “You don’t think we will?”
“It’s not that.”
“What is it then?”
Rooster hesitates for a moment, his gaze shifting from the binoculars to Maverick. He takes a deep breath, trying to put his thoughts into words. "It's just... This mission, it's different. The stakes are higher, and the enemy seems more formidable than anything we've faced before. It's not that I doubt our abilities or the skills of our team. It's just a feeling I have, like there's something else at play here."
Maverick furrows his brow, concern etched on his face. "What do you mean? Do you think there's something we're missing?"
Rooster nods slowly. "Yeah, I can't shake the feeling that there's more going on than what we see. It's like we're only scratching the surface, and there's a hidden layer we haven't uncovered yet."
Maverick's eyes narrow, turning his eyes to the horizon just like Rooster did moments before. "If there's something they're hiding, we'll find it. We've been through worse situations, Rooster. We always find a way."
Rooster gives a faint smile, appreciating Maverick's unwavering confidence. "You're right, Mav. We always find a way. We'll…stay vigilant, keep gathering information, and adapt our plans as necessary. We won't let anything take us by surprise." he huffs, setting the binoculars aside, “I want a full revision on every bird. I want everything to be pristine and ready, we are close but not close enough.”
Maverick nods, fully understanding the gravity of the situation. "I'll make sure everything is checked and double-checked. We’ll be in top shape, ready for anything."
"Good. We can't afford any technical issues when we're out there. Our team's lives depend on it."
Maverick looked at Rooster with his arms crossed, seeing his nephew’s eyes fight to stay open, his fingers coming up to rub at the eyelids, “...how many hours of sleep are you getting?”
“Hm?”
“You look terrible.” he mutters, ‘You know you need a clear head for this.”
“I know Mav,” and he rubs his eyes with a groan, “I’ve been up and about for…I don’t know, hours, trying to figure out what to do.” something that his former instructor said, back when he just joined the Navy, appeared in his mind:
You can’t figure it out if you are tired.
And he was right. Rooster was tired. “You should sleep.” Maverick says, patting his shoulder, “We are alright for now, nothing is out of the ordinary and if something happens,I know where to find you.” the hesitation on Rooster’s face was obvious.
Rooster sighs, realizing that Maverick's words hold truth. He knows he needs rest, but his mind is filled with a sense of urgency and responsibility that keeps him awake. He's torn between the need to take care of himself and the fear of missing something important.
"I know I should," Rooster admits reluctantly, his fatigue becoming more evident with every word. "But I can't shake this feeling that I need to be on top of things, that if I'm not constantly vigilant, something might slip through the cracks."
Maverick's concern deepens, and he places a hand on Rooster's shoulder, "Rooster, you're an exceptional leader, and I trust you with my life we all do. But you're only human. You need rest to make clear decisions and lead effectively. We're a team, and we'll cover for each other when needed. And right now, as your uncle," Rooster looks at Maverick, brown eyes looking more dull than before, “I think you should go. Right now, to your bunk and sleep.
After a while he nods reluctantly, conceding to the need for rest."You're right, Mav. I'll take a few hours to recharge. We have a capable team, and I trust them to handle things in my absence. If anything urgent comes up, you know where to find me."
Maverick smiles, relieved to see Rooster accepting the idea of rest. "That's the spirit. We'll keep watch and update you if needed. Get some sleep, Rooster. We need you at your best."
With Maverick's reassurance, Rooster finally allows himself to prioritize his well-being. He knows that taking care of himself is essential not only for his own sake but also for the success of the mission and the safety of his team.
And so he could come back home, for Bea and the kids.
God,Bea.
He had to answer her message.
He walks away from Maverick with his shoulder relaxing after hours tensed up.
As Rooster makes his way to his bunk, it seems so long and he wonders if that’s reality of was just his tired brain making him sluggish, thoughts of Bea linger in his mind. He knows he has neglected her messages for too long, consumed by the demands of the mission. It's time to address it, to let her know that he's still there, even if his presence feels distant at times.
Entering his quarters, Rooster takes a moment to compose himself, closing his eyes and inhaling shakily. He rubs his wedding band, feeling the tiny nick there in the metal, frowning because it bothers him so much, “I need to fix it as soon as I get home.” he mutters, dragging his feet to his bunk and dropping with his whole weight on the mattress. It squeaks,well,it whines in protest and he just stares at it for a few seconds. 
Once he feels he’s stable, he kicks off his boots and lies down, before picking up his phone from inside his pocket where he sees the notification from Bea, a few messages left unanswered. Guilt washed over him as he realized how much he had neglected their communication…and,God help him, he knew she’d never blame him for it either.
She’d never accept that, “God,I don’t deserve you.” he mutters, he opens the message thread and starts typing a response. He wants to explain, to let her know that his absence doesn't reflect his feelings for her and their family.
Roos (19:00)
Hey gorgeous, I'm sorry for not responding earlier. Things have been intense here, and I've been preoccupied with the mission. But please know that you and the kids are always on my mind, and I'm doing everything I can to come back to you safely. And I love your messages…and I’m taking care of myself I swear.
He pauses for a moment, thinking about how to express his emotions. He knows he needs to be honest with her, to let her in on the struggles he's facing.
Roos (19:03)
I won't lie, Bea. This mission is more challenging than anything I've experienced before. The enemy is formidable, and there's a constant sense of uncertainty. It's been keeping me up at night, trying to figure out the best way to ensure the safety of the team and accomplish our objective.
Rooster takes a deep breath, his fingers tapping on the phone's screen. He wants to reassure her, not worry her.
Roos (19:05)
But I want you to know that you're my rock, Bea. Thinking of you and the kids gives me the strength to push through, to face whatever comes our way. I promise that as soon as this mission is over, I'll be by your side again. We'll make up for the lost time, and we’ll go out. What do you think about going to the Oda again? Been a while.
He reads over the message, making a few adjustments here and there. Satisfied with the words, he presses send and puts the phone down. A sense of relief washes over him as he realizes that he has taken a step to address the neglect he unintentionally inflicted on Bea.
Now, it's time to follow Maverick's advice and get some sleep, his eyes fighting to stay open. He knows that with a rested mind and renewed energy, he'll be better equipped to lead and make the right decisions.
Rooster lies down on the bunk, exhaustion weighing heavy on him, tossing the phone to the side and crossing his arms over his chest. As he closes his eyes, thoughts of Bea and their family fill his mind, providing comfort and motivation to overcome the challenges ahead.
He knew it was going to be fine…and before he noticed, he was fast asleep.
-
“Rooster.”
What?
“Rooster, can you hear me?”
Snow, snow everywhere. Snow up to his knees. It looks like…Virginia, almost. He blinks confusedly, looking around himself then back at him, he was wearing his flight suit and his helmet was on his hand, “What?” he repeats, looking up at the sky…it was gray, and cloudy and he was confused about where he was exactly.
In the distance he sees a figure, a figure he identifies immediately, “Bea?” his heart beats faster, it skips a beat, hoping against hope that it's Bea. He takes a step forward, his boots sinking into the snow, and calls out her name again. The figure turns, and as it comes into focus, Rooster's eyes widen because it was her. It was her, “Bea!” he runs but his legs feel so heavy, he feels so heavy, ‘Bea!Gorgeous!”
“Rooster?”
“Baby,baby I’m here!” the snow is sucking his legs in like a vacuum, he groans, looking around for a second before finding a tree close by. He quickly digs his fingers into the bark, wincing when splinters dig under his nails, “Come on,come on.” he hears her footsteps,light, soft, “Wait, no,Bea! Don’t come here,it’s dangerous!”
Rooster's heart races as he desperately tries to reach Bea, but his movements become sluggish, as if he's trapped in slow motion. Panic grips him as he realizes the danger of the situation. He doesn't want Bea to come any closer, knowing that something is wrong, something he can't quite comprehend.
"Bea, stop!" he shouts, his voice filled with urgency. "It's not safe! Stay where you are!"
But Bea doesn't seem to hear him or register the danger. She continues to move toward him, her figure growing closer and clearer against the snowy backdrop. Rooster's mind races, trying to find a way to reach her, to protect her from whatever lurks in this surreal place.
He strains against the weight pulling him down, digging his fingers deeper into the tree's bark. It feels like an eternity passes before he manages to free one leg from the snow's grip. With great effort, he takes a step forward, then another, each movement a struggle against the invisible force that tries to keep him immobilized.
"Bea, I'm coming!" Rooster calls out, his voice filled with determination. "Just hold on a little longer!"
His heart pounds in his chest as he fights against the treacherous terrain, his focus solely on reaching Bea and ensuring her safety. The snow swirls around him, the wind howls in his ears, and a sense of impending doom hangs heavy in the air.
But just as Rooster manages to take a few more steps, the ground beneath him gives way. He stumbles, losing his balance, and his body plunges into a deep crevice covered by the snow. It's as if the earth itself has betrayed him, pulling him deeper into its icy embrace.
"NO!" he screams, desperately reaching out, trying to grab onto something, anything, to stop his descent. But his fingers grasp only empty air as he falls, the sound of his voice echoing in the vast emptiness.
Until it doesn’t.
There’s hands, holding him. Not one, but…two. He looks up shakily and he can’t see the face of the person yet, but he knows they are smiling. Their hair was short and they were wearing a flight suit too, “Come on,old man.” the voice said, it was feminine, “You can’t lose yourself now.”
“Who are you?”
“Does it matter?’ a laugh, sounds like Beatrice’s but…it also sounded like his laugh, “You will know soon enough. Hey, do me a favor? Keep your head in the game.” and he’s pulled out of the hole with so much ease he just blinks in surprise. The person, it was a woman, or at least he thought so, was sitting on her knees next to his lying frame. He breathes in shakily, eyes moving around quickly, “She’s there.”
“What?” he slowly turns his head to see Beatrice, safe, standing close by with her smile still brilliant, “Gorgeous…” Rooster's heart fills with a mix of relief, confusion, and wonder as he sees Bea standing there, unharmed and smiling. He pushes himself up from the ground, his body feeling light, as if a weight has been lifted off his shoulders. He stares at Bea, unable to tear his eyes away from her radiant presence.
"Gorgeous," he whispers, his voice filled with a mixture of love and awe. He reaches out to touch her, to confirm that she's real and not just another illusion in this strange dream-like state.
Bea's laughter fills the air, a sound that brings warmth to Rooster's soul. He can't help but smile, his worries momentarily forgotten in her presence. There are so many questions swirling in his mind, so many things he wants to say and understand, but for now, he's content to be by her side.
"I don't know who you are or how you're here," Rooster says, his voice filled with gratitude. "But thank you. Thank you for saving me, for bringing her back to me."
The woman smiles, her eyes twinkling with a mix of familiarity and mystery. She reaches out and gently touches Rooster's cheek, her touch reassuring and comforting.
"Sometimes, the answers lie within ourselves," she says cryptically. "Keep your head in the game, Rooster. Remember what's important and stay focused." and she winks. Well, he thinks she does, because her head moves like so.
Rooster nods, taking her words to heart. As he takes a moment to embrace the presence of Bea and the mysterious woman who saved him, Rooster feels  his body feel lighter and lighter.
He’s waking up.
He looks at Bea, his eyes filled with determination  "I'll find my way back to you," he promises, his voice filled with conviction. "No matter what it takes, I'll come back to you."
“I know.” her gentle voice replies, “You never break your promises, handsome.”
And with that 
His eyes snap open and a figure next to him jumps, ‘Jesus.”
“Wha?” he sits up immediately, looking around like a crazed man and almost hitting his head on the top bunk, “What happened? WHo-”
“Rooster,”Maverick says softly, “It’s me,kid. Calm down.”
Rooster's breathing slows as he takes in his surroundings, realizing that he's back in the real world. He looks at Maverick, who sits beside him with a concerned expression.
"Maverick?" Rooster's voice is shaky as he tries to process the transition from the dream world to reality. "What... what just happened? Where's Bea?"
Maverick blinks with his brow going up. "...back in Cali?Were you dreaming about her?" from the tired look on his nephew’s face the answer was yes. "A vivid one, it seems."
He had been so convinced that he had found Bea, that she was right there with him. But now, he realizes that it was all a figment of his imagination, a product of the dream world he had been trapped in.
"I thought... I thought she was here," Rooster murmurs, his voice filled with a tinge of sadness. “I really did–how long was I asleep for?”
Maverick  checks his watch with his lips pursed, “A full night.”
“A full night??”
“Yep, it’s five in the morning right now.’ he looks down at his nephew’s clothes, seeing he was even wearing his belt yet, ‘...are you comfortable?”
Rooster glances down at his clothes, realizing that he's still wearing his uniform  and his belt is still latched shut. He shakes his head slightly, as if trying to clear the remnants of the dream from his mind.
"No, I'm not comfortable," Rooster admits, a hint of frustration in his voice. "I need to get ready. I can't believe I slept through the night like that."
Maverick chuckles softly. "I knew you were tired. You just needed to sleep, that’s all." he says softly. "But you're back now, and we have a busy day ahead of us. Get yourself together, and we'll catch up later."
“Did I miss something?” Rooster stands up shakily, “Any news,any–” Maverick holds up his hand, smiling, then lowers the same hand to his chest. He knew that movement, it was what his mother used to do whenever he got too nervous. It meant to let the anxious air go, and he does, “...nothing happened?’
“Nothing happened. But you were about to miss breakfast so,” Maverick claps Rooster’s shoulder, then grabs his jacket to throw towards him, “Get yourself warm, we have a lot to do.”
Rooster catches the jacket Maverick throws to him in mid-air and quickly puts it on, feeling the warmth enveloping his body. He takes a deep breath, trying to shake off the remnants of the dream and the heavy sleep that still lingers in his mind. “It felt like I just got into bed.”
Maverick smiles, waiting for him at the door. "That's what happens when you are too tired." he says, patting his nephew on the back. "You feel any better?"
“Honestly?...I do,yeah.”
“Good.” his uncle says, still grinning, “And while we have breakfast together, you can share about this dream of yours,hm?”

Grailfinders #319: Charlotte Corday (Caster)
Tumblr media
today on Grailfinders we’re almost done finishing up the first week of summer servants with Charlotte Corday (Caster)! she’s not supposed to actually know any magic, so get ready for the least castery caster you’ve ever seen!
(of course, this build does need some magic to get the angel and the illusions and everything, but we’ll be able to squeeze just about everything into an Arcane Trickster Rogue this time around.)
check out her build breakdown below the cut, or her character sheet over here!
next up: *offkey kazoo* holy fucking shit, it’s a dinosaur!
Ancestry & Background
this part’s 100% the same as before, she’s still a Variant Human for +1 Intelligence and Charisma, as well as proficiency in Stealth and the Lucky feat to make all your terrible plans somehow work out fine. with this you get three points of luck a day to roll a second d20 on any attack, save, or check you make, or any attack someone makes against you, with you choosing which d20 is actually used.
she’s also still an Acolyte, Char grew up in a convent after all. that’s a boost to Insight and Religion.
Ability Scores
number one this time around is Intelligence. you don’t have any special magic knowledge to help you out, but you do somehow know how to do all those tricks, so it’s still a net positive. second highest is Dexterity. I know you’re normally clumsy, but you’re not while performing, plus I’m not going to completely gimp a build if I can help it. unless it’s dumping constitution and/or funny. third highest is Charisma- we’re not directly using it for anything this build, but every good magician knows their showmanship. we’re also making your Wisdom positive for reasons that will be clear later. this means your Constitution isn’t great, but we’re dumping Strength. congrats on becoming a caster, good luck surviving the next time Sei slaps you on the shoulder.
Class Levels
1. when you start off as a rogue, you gain a lot of skill proficiencies, most of which are perfect for a magician. Deception and Sleight of Hand to pull off illusions, Persuasion for stagecraft, and Perception to be smart enough to figure out other magician’s tricks. you’re also proficient in Dexterity and Intelligence saves too. on top of that, your Expertise doubles your proficiency bonus with Sleight of Hand and Deception, the most magical of skills.
you can also use your Sneak Attack to deal an extra 1d6 damage with a finesse or ranged weapon while you either have advantage or an ally next to your target, but more importantly for your show, you now know Thieves’ Cant to signal to your assistants without letting the marks in on the action.
2. at level two you can use your Cunning Action to dash, disengage, or hide as a bonus action. spoiler alert- bathing suits aren’t good armor. don’t take any hits you don’t need to.
3. at third level you become a proper magician as an Arcane Trickster, giving you a number of Spells you can cast using your Intelligence, most of which have to be illusions or enchantments. we’ll get into the specifics soon, but you’re definitely going to be able to summon your angel thanks to your Mage Hand Legerdemain- it forces mage hand into your spell list, and supercharges its abilities- now it can stow or retrieve objects in containers held by creatures, as well as use thieves’ tools at range. you can get away with it thanks to a contested sleight of hand check, and you can even do all this with your bonus action! you can also make your angel invisible when you cast it.
now then, onto the rest of your spell list. Minor Illusion and Prestidigitation are a must for any magician, the former letting you create images in the air, the latter giving you any number of minor magical effects for basically free. you can also Color Spray to blind enemies, Charm Person to use your natural wiles, or Magic Missile to toss knives at enemies without needing your middling dexterity.
oh right, you also have some Steady Aim, making your regular knives a little easier to throw. spend your bonus action and all your movement, and you get free advantage on your next attack this turn. this works for both your physical and magical attacks, so go nuts. but if you do use a real knife, you get 2d6 sneak attack damage, as much pain as a greatsword.
4. use your first ASI to bump up your Dexterity for better stabbings and less getting stabbed. even I’m not cruel enough to let you walk around with only a +2 to your main attack stat.
your stabbing/getting stabbed ratio will continue to climb thanks to your Silvery Barbs. as a reaction you can try to mess with a creature’s attack, check, or save, forcing them to re-roll and use the lower option- then you can give a free advantage to an ally to be used in the next minute. now you’re the luckiest damn rogue we ever did make.
5. at level five rogues get an uncanny dodge! why take damage when you can not do that? just react, and half your problems will disappear! this is competing with silvery barbs for that coveted reaction slot, but this one’s free, and only messes with attacks.
you also deal more damage now with 3d6 sneak attack damage.
6. sixth level rogues get another round of expertise, so make that insight and persuasion super good for super good magickings. now you’re better at picking targets, and you’re better at suspending their disbelief long enough to nick their wallets!
7. at level seven all rogues get evasion, making your failed dex saves only do half damage and your successes do none at all, but only you get invisibility. stick a curtain up, then vanish before it drops! also use it to sneak into places and make sneak attacks easier, i guess. second level spells are fun like that. speaking of, 4d6 sneak attack damage, pretty nice!
8. use this next asi to grab the tough feat for 16 extra hp now, plus another two bonus hp each time you level up. normally we wait until we have everything we need for the build before patching up health, but you have very little of it, so here, take it.
you can also levitate now! floating at waist height and headbutting people isn’t a great use of magic, but you can do it!
9. at level nine, arcane tricksters can set up magical ambushes! now as long as you’re hidden from someone before you cast a spell on them, they have disadvantage on their save this turn. you won’t have a lotta save spells for a while, but there’s always charm person!
you’ll always have 5d6 sneak attack damage as an option though.
10. at level ten you get another asi! it’s so much easier to pick up feats as a physical class bc they get so many of these. for example, you can use this one to become a magical initiate! now you can learn some druid spells like guidance for even better random planning and shillelagh for that wand bouquet you run around with. it still works only based on wisdom, so it’s not great, but a +1 to your attacks is a lot better than a -1. you can also detect magic once a day, but you’re not great at it.
that being said, you learn some more rogue magic too! sword burst can be any kind of big blast o stuff around you- pigeons, your hat spinning around, whatever. your angel can also use gift of gab if you mess up a bit, rewriting the memories of anyone you want within five feet of you to forget what you said in the last six seconds, and remember what you’re saying now instead. this one’s also reaction based, but I don’t think you’ll be in a situation where this spell and uncanny dodge show up at the same time.
11. at eleventh level all rogues have some Reliable Talent, so any check you make with proficiency will always be at least a 10 on the die. this means you’ve now got a minimum of 21 on every sleight of hand check you make, so your angel’s a lot better at helping you with your show.
speaking of, if you want to impress the important magical people, you need your stuff to look magical when it’s not. or better yet, make your magical props look mundane to sell your power even more. with Nystul’s Magical Aura you can do both, making a creature or object give false information when a divination spell looks at it. you can either change a creature’s apparent creature type, or alter an object’s magical aura. each cast only lasts 24 hours, but if you cast it on an object for a month straight the effect will last until dispelled. fool your enemies, wow your friends, fool yourself if you’re forgetful!
don’t forget your 6d6 sneak attack damage though.
12. this next ASI is a bit weird, but I’m grabbing the Strixhaven Initiate feat here because I’m not sure if you can take magic initiate twice. with this, you get light and thaumaturgy for more minor magical effects, and you can cast mage armor on yourself once a day for free, or more often by spending a spell slot as normal. pretty much every swimsuit swordmaster needs this spell if they don’t want to get skewered day one.
13. at level thirteen you become a Versatile Trickster, giving your angel even more ways to help your show. as a bonus action, your mage hand can distract a nearby creature, giving you advantage on all attack rolls against them that turn. I also thought this was the level you can use any magical item, but apparently that’s thief for some reason? freakin’ weird. knowing third level spells like Major Image definitely makes up for it though. now you can include four senses in your illusions, and it can move around!
that just makes your magic an even better distraction for your 7d6 sneak attack damage!
14. at level fourteen you get a lot better at seeing shenanigans thanks to your Blindsense, making you aware of hidden and invisible creatures within 10’ of you. you also get better at keeping your tricks from being found out thanks to Nondetection. with this, a willing creature or object cannot be targeted or seen by divination or scrying spells.
15. at level fifteen your Slippery Mind gives you proficiency with Wisdom saves. your angel’s about to start pulling out some serious shit, you’d better be ready for it.  I’d also file 8d6 sneak attack damage under “serious shit”, while you’re at it.
16. I don’t think we have enough spells yet. let’s steal something from the warlocks and become an Eldritch Adept with our ASI this time. with this, you can summon Misty Visions to cast Silent Image at will, and it’s even nice enough to remove the material component!
you can also create a Hypnotic Pattern in your show now, forcing a wisdom save on every creature in a 30’ cube. if they fail they’re charmed, making them incapacitated and reducing their speed to 0. even better, there’s no additional saves here. they’re stuck like that either for a minute, until they take damage, or until they’re shaken out of their trance. a good show can really suck you in, y’know?
17. at level seventeen we get one more feature from your subclass, officially branding you a Spell Thief. when someone casts a spell within a level you can cast, you can spend your reaction to force a spellcasting save. if they fail, that spell has no effect on you, and you steal the knowledge of how to cast it for eight hours. you can do this once per long rest. it’s not something Charlotte can really do, (afaik), but it’s also not something that’ll come up too often, so it should be fine.
the 9d6 sneak attack damage is 100% lore-accurate though, don’t worry.
18. at level eighteen you become quite the Elusive thief- no attack has advantage against you if you’re not incapacitated. with silvery barbs and a luck die, you can now turn what should be an advantage into super disadvantage- roll three and pick the lowest.
19. use your last ASI to bump up your Constitution. it’s about time we did something about those concentration saves. plus, you learn fourth level spells like Raulothim’s Psychic Lance! there wasn’t much from this level that would work well as your Noble Phantasm, but this gives you more skill sealing options, so it’s about as close as we can get. with this, you can target a creature you can see or name within range, forcing an intelligence save on htem. if they fail, they take psychic damage and are incapacitated for a round.
that being said, you’d honestly do more damage just stabbing them with that 10d6 sneak attack damage you have now.
20. our final level of rogue grants you a stroke of luck once per short rest, automatically turning a missed attack of your choice into a hit, or a failed check into an automatic 20 roll. definitely one of the stronger capstone abilities, and it’s pretty surprising it’s taken this long for it to show up.
your other ultra busted feature this level is the ability to cast Dimension Door. with this, you can teleport to any spot you can specify within range, even if you can’t see it, as long as there isn’t something else in there already. finally, we’ve figured out your magic boxes!
Pros & Cons:
Pros:
you are fantastic at stalling fights, wasting time and giving your party plenty of opportunities to prepare for what’s coming. whether that’s with some clever skill checks or mind-fucking magic, the curtain won’t rise on your show until you say it does. this is also useful for keeping large crowds of weak enemies busy while you focus on the big bad, or just so your party can deal with them in more manageable chunks.
thanks to all your ridiculous dice-altering abilities, you are one of the luckiest bastards we ever built, with the luck feat, reliable talent, stroke of luck, and silvery barbs all coming together to make it really hard for you to fail at anything important.
you’re such a bad magician you actually make everyone else around you worse at casting, and by that I mean trying to use magic on you is a terrible idea. you’ve got proficiency in two of the three big magic defense saves, evasion, and the ability to almost literally eat spells thanks to Spell Thief. add in your ability to constantly spew illusions in order to waste your enemy’s spells, and you can mess with any casters pretty dang easily.
Cons:
you’re not great at dealing damage. sure, your big sneak attack rolls are great, but they only work when they hit, and with zero stats at or above 18, that might be a problem. of course, low stats only matter in a fair fight, and you do anything but, but it’s still not a fun time if you get caught unawares.
your own magic is bad, with only a 16 total to cast off of giving your spells easy to make saves. like your physical attacks you do have ways to even the odds with a magical ambush, but that only works on saves, and it takes setup that won’t be possible in some fights.
your spell list is great for a stage magician, but not as much for a rogue. the sneaky teleporty spells will always have a home, but most of our spell list was spent picking up tricks, some of which are much less useful in D&D than in FGO. honestly I think I’d have fun working around a spell list like this, but it’s something you have to fight against to make useful.

so in the hypothetical fic concept,,,, ok actually have a. small handful of questions maybe. (........alsoalso this is. always true but just gonna reiterate Preemptively,,,, "don't know" is alwaysalways a fair answer. this is more of a. blatantly fishing by tossing prompt-adjacent-things in your general direction sort of thing haha)
- is the amount of time the narrator has experienced getting other stanleys out the same amount of time his stanley has experienced in the outside??
- how do they each. react,, upon landing & realizing they've been split up??
- does the narrator ever have a hard time convincing a stanley to get to the escape pod with him??
- since both the narrator And stanley have to be present for it to work,, one can infer if a stanley was too suspicious or elsewise he would be. trapped. until that stanley could be convinced.
- has he ever been discovered by other narrators??
- ........what happens,, to the other narrators when their corresponding stanley is evacuated?? (are they left there indefinitely on their own, does their iteration of the parable simply collapse, a secret third thing,,)
points at you. you get me.
first) yes! it's approximately the same amount of time, though the narrator has no way to measure and doesnt know until, well. he gets out. that it's been that long. he just knows it's been a long time, and it's honestly something that frightens him. he is trying very VERY hard to make peace with the idea he's never going to see Stan again, because.... if they never see each other again, it doesn't have to hurt him if Stan's feelings for him change. If Stan decides he wants to be with somebody else.
(with this said, this fic HAS to take place in the future. I put myself in this hole. The TSPUD only came out last year but Stan's been out for four years and change??? dont. dont look too hard at that. okay? dont look at that. that ones on me.)
second) they uh. they both have some BAD reactions to learning the other is not with them. it might be "harder" on Stan if only because he's been thrust into a new world at the same time, on his own.
Stan starts living a life, afraid that his friend is gone, or maybe out in the world somewhere alone, or dead. he had no idea how to process it because he didnt KNOW what happened. but he just… had to try to move on. live as a person. he didnt have a choice.
for the narrator, he has to try to make sense of why he's in a Parable that... isn't HIS. when he finds the Stanley there that isnt his it hurts like a motherfucker, but he has other issues to deal with (like the fact this one is very clearly a victim of physical abuse) so he boxes that shit up, as he usually does, to focus on the problem at hand.
but after he gets into a system, it's not as easy to distract himself. sometimes he wakes up in the escape pod by himself after just ushering a new Stanley out, and he just stays there for a little bit to have a good cry.
3) ABSOLUTELY HE HAS A HARD TIME WITH SOME STANLEYS. These fuckers are STUBBORN. He's really used to it, and it can be frustrating, but he always manages somehow--mostly, he surprises them all.
even the angrier Stanleys that are less likely to trust him cant help being caught off guard by his concern, and his laughing at their sharp biting wit, or just how open he is with his expressions. that, plus the fact their narrators are still clearly around in opposition, means its not a "trick".
hes still himself, you know? but all that bitchiness and irritability is aimed at these alternate versions of himself instead of Stanley. he is so SICK of his own bullshit. GET OVER YOURSELF, MY GOD, no WONDER he hated my guts. you petulant CHILD.
and yeah that's really weird for the Stanleys. They kind of love it. it's hilarious.
3.5) since it's tangential with the above. yeah. he's had some serious bonding periods with some stanleys. that's why in the end he always manages to convince them. because they have nothing BUT time.
4) probably yes. there have been a few where he was genuinely stealthy enough to not get caught (though those narrators DEFINITELY noticed SOMETHING was awry, they tended to focus on where Stanley was in the Parable over things happening elsewhere in the map) and he always makes an effort in the beginning, mostly to get a feel for the situation. he's done this enough times to have an idea of where to start. BUT, he has a temper, and for the narrators that are actively more hostile, he has no qualms about showing his face and, quite frankly, kicking their arses.
because this may not be his SPECIFIC parable, but it's still the Parable, and he's still a Narrator. he can control this rat maze just as well as they can. possibly even better, since he's let Stan roam through every single door and played with every single hall. Hes not afraid of breaking script. most of them dont know how to react to it.
5) he doesn't know what happens to them. he assumes they get left on their own. he doesn't care. as far as he's concerned, they dont deserve to have a protagonist at all, and they can rot by themselves for eternity.
I dont know what happens to them either. Ive thought about it but cant come to any conclusions. though Ive wondered if theres a way for these fellows to find each other. Im sure theyve got a bit of a grudge...

post707883411295043585 thats part of the problem tho is yall assume that just bc stuff doesnt come out on time means theyre not working on it. as if they just sit twiddling thumbs. shit isnt slow bc they need more motivation. its slow bc they have a bare bones staff of maybe 1-2 ppl & all else is contracted work they barely have the cash for.
"right now basically nothing ever gets done" & you think adding a few dates to a list would fix that? you think they dont know theyre falling behind? that its not obvious? as if they dont already have internal set dates they aim for that just havent been shared w the userbase? 
they dont need more motivation or accountability. they need more staff & more funds. all the accountability in the world cant add extra hours in the day. you can be working as hard as you possibly can & still not meet deadline bc its just not humaenly possible w the resources you have. look at the underlying problem instead of just surface optics.
they could put dates just to placate yall. but it would be an empty gesture. theyd still be just as behind as always bc the dates are not tackling the base issue. itd be the same old shit but more to get mad abt as they still fail to meet dates you asked them to set.
some of yallve never worked on large amateur creative ventures & it shows lmao. youd be amazed how fast a few months can go by & youre only doing background shit so theres still no visible progress you can share publicly. you worked every single day but still feel theres nothing tangible enough to show for it. a few months can go by fast esp when you dont have just one job & are juggling 10 different tasks w simultaneous importance bc its just you or mayb 1 other person taking on 6 ppl worth of work. 
 just remember were all looking from the outside. theres always backend stuff goign on we never know abt. (i know. ironically im making assumption too. but its based on so much experience w these sorts of teams. dv has all the signs. plus context clues given on stream & rare times staff communicates. textbook understaffed scope creepy amateur project tbh.) 
if this were neopets or some shit own by a large company w hundreds of employees maybe itd be different. but some of yall are always gonna be miserable if you dont manage your expectations. see it for what it is instead of what you want it to be. & sometimes look at whats been accomplished. they DO get stuff done. theyre not dropping 80 updates a month, but to me it looks like they make slow steady progress. miss goals but do follow up eventually. they are literally completing tasks. & show signs of taking feedback into account. just not at the speed ppl want. 
criticism makes for a better convo topic bc negative emotional response sticks in the brain longer. but were always gonna have bias if we dont appreciate good shit too. sometimes theres an attitude like "okay cool i like this, now wheres the NEXT thing" or "great finally an improvement, now why isnt THIS other thing fixed?". moving on to the next thing so quick you dont notice the effort of whats in front of you.
but once you match dvs pace & get what postion theyre coming from its not terrible. i have plenty of criticisms from a project management perspective. but in terms of other aspects ive a more lenient view considering what theyre likely working w (esp not having a dev or anyone who codes as part of core staff. im surprised theyve been able to keep afloat this long even lmao)
you dont hold an amateur experimental musician to the same standards as an international pop star w a whole team behind them, yea? but the amateur is not inherently worse, or less worthy of support. you can still enjoy both, just recognizing theyre different things. i see the vision of the amateur & choose to support patiently knowing its got a different pace than the pop idol. theyre at different spots in their career timeline & will have their own unique issues based on that. but both can be plenty good. context matters.
  TLDR; there is much staff can do better at ofc (namely communication & interpretation of user feedback (like not knowing in the first place that "roadmap" usually implies dates -_-). but imo dates are not gonna fix shit bc lack of "motivation" is def not the core issue. such focus on the dates is thus unhelpful. i think some of yall dont get where dv is actually at & then put up expectations that are built to fail bc of that. not saying to let everything slide. but yk. appreciate the good where it happens. have patience. be aware what the underlying problems actually are & contextualize. tempering realistic expectations will make you much happier & able to enjoy the game for what it is.
or idk. i personaly used to be one of the main harsher critics so much i almost quit dv entirely & this perspective helped ME at least lmfao. now i play regularly much less stressed/angry abt it. ymmv.

15 Question
@rauko-is-a-free-elf and @you-cant-spell-subtext-without tagged me in this and I have clearly been so normal in answering it
1. ARE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? Yesish? My parents named me something fairly unusual, but technically made it a nickname to a fairly common name. The name was a friend's from college who I have never met
2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? I…should be able to answer this. Don't tell my therapist. Probably reading a fic. I teared up watching a sad story yesterday. Does that count?
3. DO YOU HAVE KIDS? Two. They are 9 and 3.
4. DO YOU USE SARCASM? Do I use sarcasm? What do you think?
5. WHAT'S THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT SOMEONE? I have really bad face blindness, so typically I notice context clues like clothing and hair.
6. WHAT'S YOUR EYE COLOUR? Brown unless I cry and then green. So hazelish?
7. SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS? Why not both? It probably depends on how bad my anxiety is. Scary movies help me when my anxiety is high.
And I love gory sfx. Otherwise I won't do MCD though.
8. ANY SPECIAL TALENTS? Um. I draft a mean contract? I am excellent at aiming beads when I throw them from a float? I am my most hilarious when depression grabs my brain? I can make anything awkward? I never know how to answer these.
9. WHERE WERE YOU BORN? This literally tells you nothing about me because we moved before I started forming memories. But I was raised in Louisiana
10. WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES? Nerdy shit and sports. I love writing fan fic, reading fan fic, leaving embarrassingly long comments on fan fic. I'm a gamer and have been since before girl gamers were cool, so I spent a lot of time behind gender neutral names.
11. DO YOU HAVE ANY PETS? Two big dogs and a cat.
12. WHAT SPORTS DO YOU PLAY/HAVE YOU PLAYED? I loved basketball and in middle school the puberty stick hit me hard so I was tall. Then everyone grew up around me. I had severe asthma and was made to believe that my weight and inability to breathe meant I wasn't athletic. Plus ear issues kept me from the pool. I found swimming about a decade ago and it opened a new world for me. Swimming, biking, zumba, interval training, even running but i hate it. Moving my body with joy instead of as punishment.
13. HOW TALL ARE YOU? 5'5
14. FAVOURITE SUBJECT IN SCHOOL? English. I read like it's my job and writing has always come naturally to me. Unless theater counts. I was the biggest theater nerd. It saved my life.
15. DREAM JOB? Several years ago I was heading to a work conference and I went by the librarian conference. Michelle Obama was set to speak and there were all these seemingly queer cute girls with glasses and fun hair colors sitting in line reading and I thought: I have made a huge mistake with my life. So perhaps research librarian.
Though if I won the lottery, I would just go to school for everything. I know. Neeeeeeeerd.

okay my actual opinion on the new patch
Spoiler free version:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
i LOVE the map, it looks beautiful, it's fun to navigate, i really adore it
oouughhhh ouch
meta is really fun. i say this because i got an ascended drop on my second run
okay now onto the spoilers <3
the first instance alone? best update ever. i got an ACHIEVEMENT FOR PETTING CATS!!! honestly it was just a really nice story step starting slow and silly and i got to throw cofetti at rama which makes me happy :)
"Friends detective agency" starts crying
also I'm SO GLAD we're getting Yao back, i love them so much. I'm a simply man. In Love With Yao.
i already said this but the map is absolutely insane. the air filter system is pretty cool. THE COLOURS??? with the VOID-ISH MAGIC? hello. its so fucking cool
demons and onis and jade and fucked up mind games and HOLY SHIT i love the themes we are getting into. it's so spooky and cool and honestly i absolutely fucking love this direction.
when i first heard almorras voice? AAUGHAGAHAG OUZGHHH
i love when they pull up my dead friends to torment me. i love it so much. sorry about that commander but holy fuck i love it. im really glad they chose almorra for this too.
voice acting was so good oh god. every part of the story i think to myself "the commander cant sound any more tired than she already is" and then BOOM she hits a new low.
meta is really fun and has a lot of replayability in my opinion! plus it actually really does pay off. i already said that but i got an ascended drop on my second run on na, i think i wanna aim for another one on eu
speaking of meta. theres one rama voice line that has burnt itself into my brain. SMASH IT! HARDER! HARDER!
rama my babygirl. sopping wet beast. i love you
ALL IN ALL. i really loved this patch. story content, events, map, all amazing. BUT it was way too short. i'm very unsure about this new cycle and the time between releases. i feel like the story was too short and just didnt have enough stuff in it to justify a 3 month long wait. it wouldve been perfectly fine if the wait was around a month or so but this kind of isnt enough? even though i do think the meta will keep me busy for a while, this just isnt really enough?
i do hope they find something that works better for us players as well. i think this was a great start into this new story content but knowing that'll take such a long time until the next part kind of hurts it.

random game roundup
Wand Wars - $11
Tumblr media
Included in Bundle for Ukraine
this is pretty neat. wand wars is a party game about being wizards shooting a magic orb at each other and the last one standing wins. this has to have far more staying power as a multiplayer game but, alas, i am by my lonesome. i didnt love the control scheme (does really feel like it wants to be a twin stick shooter and not something played on keyboard). also it really bugged me that the projectile wasnt pixellated when everything else was. wand wars kinda fits the niche of a good boutique board game IMO, fun to break out with nerd friends at some nerd gathering
Baldi's Basics Plus - $10
Tumblr media
Included in Bundle for Ukraine
my commitment to the premise of this project being vastly outweighed by how much i dont actually want to play baldi's basics. i could have hit random again and nobody would be the wiser
so i guess my take is roughly that im in the exact nostalgia bait audience for baldi's basics (i played tons of these edutainment games in elementary school) but its specifically aping so much of its aesthetic and presentation from sonic's schoolhouse which i cant imagine had a widespread school computer lab adoption. if someone made a off-color video game inspired by Disney's Adventures in Typing with Timon & Pumbaa or smth that would probably actually get somewhere. for me. also i hate jumpscares and YOU DONT EVEN SOLVE MATH PROBLEMS IN THIS ONE???? WHATS THE POINT
this is not a good review for baldi's basics sorry. i like that the camera controls are vertically locked even tho the game makes a lot of other concessions for a modern audience. and there really is nothing else in its genre that looks like this
Valfaris - $24.99
Tumblr media
i cannot for the life of me figure out why i own this game.
ok first things first the art direction in this fucks insanely. it feels like a ps1 game in a way many other ps1 throwbacks don't. i really enjoyed looking at valfaris.
however this controls like SHIT and not in a way that i think would be fixed by a controller. i spent a couple minutes rebinding my controls so it isnt arrow keys to move and q/w for main attacks (this randomly reset to default at some point so that was cool) and i was still fighting for my life to actually accomplish what the game wants me to. there's a segment only a few seconds into the first level where you need to climb on ropes over some evil dogs to cross a ledge but 1. the dogs can jump up and attack you and 2. you can only aim your gun straight down. and the dogs respawn infinitely so you cant jump into the dog pit, slaughter them all and continue on your way. i legitimately could not get past this section because the controls were so ass. really unfortunate.
also the game has "wishlist the sequel" as one of its three menu options which: lmao
Thou Shalt Be Brave - $1
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Included in Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality
this is a micro-rpg that is imo unfortunately hamstrung by its gimmick (the really small resolution). theres some really bad readability issues happening in this game. there is a manual on the itch page which helps a lot in combat but its really hard to excuse the "you sease lok s" message you see constantly.
this is pretty light on gameplay also but its generally a pretty fun timewaster. you explore the woods and fight guys and the ultimate goal appears to be maxing all your stats. i just wish i wasnt examining every button like it was a cryptic glyph to decipher
Planets Under Attack - $11.99
Tumblr media
you know its bad when ive had this game on steam for over 10 years and have no idea what it is
i'm not sure how to describe planets under attack. it's a very minimalistic strategy game about spending resources to take over planets in each map. it seemed pretty chill but i did kinda feel like i was wasting my time playing it. the presentation is really competent and overall i think this is the strongest of the five games i played today

FINALLY picked a title for the upcoming chapter of twthlam
i realize ive only posted about twthlam (the way that he looks at me) like once on here but most of yall follow me on quotev anyway so hopefully you know what im talking about
if you dont, twthlam is my harry potter fanfic thats an oc x fred weasley enemies to lovers and i love it to death bc i love my oc(s) to death. she and the other two fitzlets (fitzeroy triplets) are half american, half french and all chaos. i went way overboard and made six original characters for this particular fanfic since theyre kinda all a package deal and bc i six degrees of kevin bacon pretty much all my characters but on the plus side it means that theres a lot of diversity and all the houses are at least a little represented with a strong character. cant really say that much for the books. my condolences to all ravenclaws and any slytherins who actually like,,, arent assholes. hufflepuffs have newt scamander so im happy with that.
its also Very Queer™️ bc fuck jk rowling, the wizarding world belongs to the gays and if you dont like that you dont have to read it. you have the power to put the book down (metaphorically since its,,, a fanfic,,, but phobes dont have power anyway so who cares). but a big theme of it is just navigating sexual and romantic attractions, especially when theyre different from each other, and especially when theyre not aimed at people you would think they would be aimed at.
and just bc im incapable of writing things i cant relate to, most of my characters are disabled on some level or another. i myself am still trying to navigate usage of labels like disabled (where i consider myself very much a disabled person, other people [who are usually able bodied but sometimes not] like to tell me im not so idk how to label myself bc i wanna be proud of who and what i am but i constantly have people telling me im wrong but ah hey nothing new there).
anyways tldr: my addled asexual oc laelia is qpps with george weasley but hates fred with a burning passion for reasons neither of them fully understand but have kept up for several years. and then Shit Happens.
but the scene im currently writing for it involves turning laelia into a worm and i love it so much that im just gonna name the entire fucking chapter "wormlia" bc it makes me laugh
coming,,, sometime soon hopefully idk

Disney’s ZOMBIES Review
So, I worked at a day camp this summer. Fun times. Got to hang out with a bunch of cool people, meet some nice kids, and everywhere I went, I made sure to ask people what they were watching. Y’know…. Cuz we’ve all got the time. I love hearing people get really passionate about the stuff they like, though sometimes….(cut to children screaming about Frozen 2 as I slowly expire)
Anyways…. It’s pretty obvious that with kids, Disney is king. Like, absolute monarch, dictator supreme, all hail our new lord and savior Mickey Christ. And with more and more people getting Disney Plus, the mouse house has made its way into more houses than ever, allowing the new generations to enjoy films that were previously harder to get ahold of. I mean, outside of just BUYING the DVDS, which sometimes I feel like I’m the only person who does these days, Netflix doesn't have that shit, the internet is full of viruses, but hearing that my little cousins hadn’t even HEARD of Bambi felt like a crime I must solve. Now, with the power of Disney Plus, I can mentally scar them for only 8 bucks a month! 
Tumblr media
So, camp was a swapping ground for movie and show recommendations, and I was living for it. But….. if you know me, you might know I’m a little hesitant to get into Disney’s live-action stuff, especially musicals aimed at ‘THe HiP NeW GeneRATioN’. I’m lookin at you, Descendants, you  fake-edgy-soda-pop-party-city-lookin-ass-motherfucker. No. I refuse. It looks stupid, and the music is dumb. I grew up watching the High School Musical trilogy, so it's not like Disney live-action musicals are foreign to me. I’m cool with em, but, y’know, sometimes you want something more. Like, something more high-concept. We’ve already seen highschool boy meets highschool girl, fall in love, and sing about it. Let's get something fresh! 
Tumblr media
PART 1: BACKSTORY
This is Z.O.M.B.I.E.S., or is it pronounced ‘z-o-m-b-i-e-s’? Whatever the case, this is a Disney Channel Original Movie
 (Wait…..fuck, thats gonna be a lot to say. Let's just call them ‘D-COMS’. Yeah.)
So, It’s a Disney D-COM that came out in the totally tubular year of 2018, the same release year as my favorite rom-com, Rocket Raccoon’s first musical, and too many Marvel films to mention.
So many good movies makin’ it big in theaters, and then there's ZOMBIES. Poor ol’ ZOMBIES, relegated to air only on the Disney Channel, because god forbid a D-COM play in theaters...hahah.(cough cough Highschool Musical 3 cough)
The film is based on another Disney property, ‘Zombies & Cheerleaders’, that never made it past the pilot stage. Written by the same guys (David Light and Joseph Raso), and directed by the same guy who directed a shit-ton of other D-COM stuff like Jump In!, Cheetah Girls :One World and Luck of the Irish, ZOMBIES combines the usual D-COM style and fun with an idea that truly could only be done in our modern age. 
So, without further ado, let's not waste anymore time, and get right into ZOMBIES. 
Part 2: Visuals
 Y’know what I love?. Color palettes. By golly if I don’t love a good color palette in a movie or game or something like that. My eyes cant get ENOUGH of color, and I bet yours are the same. 
So when something uses color in an unconventional way, it's gonna hit you like -
Tumblr media
I know this is a weird thing to start off with when talking about a D-COM, but as an artist, this is one of the FIRST THINGS I noticed about this movie, and I make sure to point it out to whoever I’m with, whenever I see this movie. 
Lemme break it down real simple for y'all.
Tumblr media
 Take a look at the logo first. We’ve got a nice letterman font, usually used in school uniforms and stuff, y’know, Letterman jackets, sports jerseys, school logos. It's the typical ‘academic’ font. It's a nice green, but wait. See the hot pink behind it? Green and pink…. I wonder where those are in the movie- WELL WONDER NO MORE BUCKO CUZ THEY'RE EVERYWHERE.
Tumblr media
 Everything is green and pink. The bricks are pink. The rusty metal is green. The glass windows are pink. The school cheer uniforms are green and pink, and so are the football uniforms. It's a cacophony of those two colors, almost unnerving in its unnatural-ness, yet by varying the tones to fit the object they are on, the colors feel normal, and you almost don't even think why the slums are painted like a funhouse.
But it gets better.You might have already guessed this already, but do you want to know WHY green and pink specifically? 
Well it's pretty simple, my dude. See, colors can be hella powerful, so using them wisely is important. It's pretty well known by now that colors can often symbolize things, and can give us certain ideas and reactions. So, let's investigate further. 
Traditionally, pink is a color associated with femininity. No matter how hard we try, modern society can't seem to escape the idea that ‘pink is for girls’, even though in Victorian times, it was for boys. Pink is often associated with romance, sweetness, and all things cutesy. Pink is a ‘girls color’, quote on quote. Meanwhile, green is more gender neutral, and is associated with wealth, nature, growth, but in fantasy, with sickness and evil. Disney uses green often as its color of choice for bad magic, because of those connotations. Now, let's look at those colors next to  the two types of people in this film: Zombies and humans. Zombies are a perfect match for green, because, well, they all have green hair. Plus, green is a color often associated with necromancy, decay, and , what else, zombification. That smog in the beginning of the movie that makes people into zombies is also green. 
So does that mean the humans are pink? Yes, exactly! Contrasting with the ‘vile, diseased’ zombies, the humans are a perfect fit for a color often seen as nice and good. They’re obviously the good guys here, right? They’re pink! That means they’re non-threatening! 
Tumblr media
By placing these colors all over the film, we are reminded of their connotations, and therefore, what we are ‘supposed’ to think, or rather, what the naïve leads have been taught by their society. That the zombies are diseased and evil, and that the humans are pure and nice. If you think I’ve dug too deeply into this, you’ve obviously never been in a high-school art class.
ZOMBIES uses a simple color palette effectively, making its ordinary sets and locations pop with its unusual color combination. By using colors to symbolize the opposing factions, the film scatters about deeper messages about how looks can be deceiving, and how sometimes, we need to rethink what we are told is fact, a key message in the film’s plot.
Part 3: Music
Disney has always had a knack for music. At least, in their animation department. D-COMS are usually hit or miss in the musical department, which is super weird to me, cause the word ‘musical’ is in the title. Musicals allow story to be told through song, and can give the audience a deeper understanding of what's going on. Lemme give you an example. 
youtube
‘Scream’, from High School Musical 3 is a song where the lead, Troy, laments about how confusing choosing a post-secondary is for him. This song not only plainly explains how he feels torn between possible futures, but also does a fantastic job of showing his anxieties. The whole thing being during a thunderstorm, the room spinning as he struggles to stay standing, the hailstorm of basketballs raining down around him, the scene uses the musical number to help us better understand his struggles, and it does so effectively. 
But how does ZOMBIES stack up? Pretty well, actually. Well, kind of. Less in the story-telling department, but it certainly makes up for it in terms of flair.
ZOMBIES takes a decidedly modern tone in its music, making a lot of it sound…. How do I describe…. I guess Disney-Channel-ish. Pop songs you could hear on ‘family friendly’ music playlists, all about believing in yourself and how friends are great. Nothing too complex or challenging here, folks, just some good, safe kids music. Though, to be fair, the whole soundtrack is, as the kids say, a bop. I’d say my favorite on the soundtrack is ‘Fired Up’, the song during the cheerleading tryouts. It has this nice backbeat, with drums that give a marching-band feel, giving it a ‘school fight song’ vibe. The redux of the song, done with different characters singing the lead vocals, gives it more prominent drum beats, making it sound even more like a marching song. With each redux or reprise of a song, they add more to it, sometimes changing the song’s tone entirely, such as with ‘Someday’, a song originally light-hearted and playful that takes a more tender and romantic edge during its reprise. 
youtube
The soundtrack is unfortunately a tad short on content. Half the soundtrack is just reprises, and it makes me wish there were more songs, not just the same ones done again with slight differences. Still, what’s there is fresh and modern-sounding, and just catchy enough for people like me to get into it. 
Part 4: Characters
In your typical D-COM, the plot is usually centered around either pre-teens or teenagers, usually at a high-school. Each character can be neatly fit into a pre-made archetype, handed down from generations of past D-COMS, which got them from other teen movies and media, which got them from outdated ideas and stereotypes about what business executives think high school is like. Usually, the story revolves around a main couple, a guy and girl who meet during the plot, and will eventually fall in love by the end. The guy is an athlete, and wants nothing more than to make the team and win the big game. The girl is usually the new girl, therefore is shy, nervous, and ridiculously pretty. She has 1 friend, usually a POC, who is her shoulder to cry on until she gets her assigned boyfriend, and she is either a cheerleader or a straight-A student. Most D-COMS stick to this formula, since it’s worked in the past, and they pepper in little quirks on each character to make them unique to that film. So come along with me, as we go through the checklist.
Tumblr media
 In ZOMBIES, our lead guy is Zed, a zombie teen who wants nothing more than to try out for the football team. He’s a goofball, often joking with the other characters in serious situations, which makes him endearing to the love interest. Meanwhile, the lead lady is Addison, a bright-eyed, peppy blonde who is aiming to audition for the cheerleading squad. She is very optimistic about everything, but her GAP commercial parents pressure her to hide her real hair under a wig, so that she fits in at school. 
Both leads have things about their physical appearances that makes them ‘different’, and would therefore make them social outcasts. Therefore, they find common ground not because they like each other, but because they wish to fight for change. This is a welcome diversion from the classic D-COM formula. The two play off each other really well, and for a good portion of the film, fooled me into thinking they were just good friends. It's nice to see Disney show a couple as friends, not just as a couple. In High School Musical, Troy and Vanessa are so in love with each other, every interaction between them is explicitly romantic, as if they have to keep restating to the audience that they're dating or else the kids at home will forget.
Tumblr media
  ZOMBIES also has a great supporting cast. Zed’s zombie friends, Eliza and Bonzo, are equally entertaining to watch, and act as support for Zed, and later, Addison as well. They offer more insight on how the zombie’s are treated by the humans, and help the leads push for integration in their school throughout the plot. The main villain, Bucky (no relation) is also a joy to watch, just because of how openly evil he is. There’s no twist villain here, folks. The real villain is the one who uses the discriminatory system to his advantage and sows seeds of xenophobia amongst his peers. Bucky is the cheery-looking face of the cheer squad, but not far underneath that smile is a bitter hatred for people that look or act differently than him. He commands the squad with a grin, while rooting out anyone who tries to outshine him or show anything other than disgust towards the zombies. He is also Addison’s cousin, giving the two an interesting dynamic. 
The characters in Disney’s ZOMBIES may follow the usual teen high-school drama formula, but they take steps outside the boundaries in small doses, freshening up the tried and true stereotypes we’ve been so accustomed to seeing. 
Part 5: Verdict
Tumblr media
Overall, ZOMBIES is a great film. Really. It’s good to see a D-COM that people my age can enjoy, like, actually enjoy, not just put up with. These types of films are targeted towards a younger demographic, which means the writers know that their audience isn’t going to be doing as deep of an analysis of it as I am. The whole film is a  fun time, with excellent musical numbers, great visuals, endearing characters, and a simple, cohesive story. While its use of breaking the 4th wall is too frequent for my taste, the film uses its characters well, creating a story that puts the issues of today in a language that children can understand. Like Zootopia, it deals with the topic of discrimination well, explaining how it starts, what it can look like, and how it affects people, while using the language of fiction and fantasy to make it easily palatable for all audiences. If i had any criticisms, I’d say that I think the soundtrack is a little lackluster. It would have been nice to see a variety of songs, rather than just reprises. I’d also like to see more worldbuilding, maybe a glimpse at how the rest of the zombies live. Does the discrimination affect the adult zombies? What about the little kids? How does a zombie family differ from a human one? I know there’s a sequel, so maybe those things are addressed there. Hopefully so, because I enjoyed the world that was built, and I think it has a lot of potential for more stories to be told in it. But for now, I’m happy I saw this, and I’d totally recommend it to anybody who has kids, likes D-COMS, or is looking for something a little more light-hearted this Halloween season. So, with that, my final score for Disney’s ZOMBIES.. Is an 8 out of 10. Go see this movie.

just always seen having your arm linked through his your hands intertwined together at the end or his arm around your waist his thumb rubbing circles on your hip just keeping you as close as possible while showing you off in front of everyone
HIM LOVING to have you leading the way while you hold his hand dragging him along :(((( because hes behind you just smiling like an idiot and also so he has an excuse to see how beautiful his mujer looks all dressed up,,,:((
but anyways him introducing you to everyone that comes up to him with so much pinche orgullo like “deja les presento el tesoro mas grande de mi vida, mi hermosa mujer” woW
and ay no if you were married this mf is making an effort to say something like “la señora zambada, mi chulada” im fucking crying here
and listen,, none of you can sit there and tell me he doesnt love dragging you along whenever he can on like a date on his pinche shrimp boat,, his second passion after you :))
like he wont ever make you do anything he just wants your presence there with him while he works even though you both live in the same fucking house :(((
he just wants to hear about your day or even just your mere attention while youre sitting down makes him happy :(( hes so whipped i-
and i dont know if its just me:( but bringing him:(( his lonche:(( when hes out working on the boat:(((
he just never gets tired of seeing you because i just know he would start to purposely forget his lunch or something he needs just so you can come around later and give it to him:(((
UGH him always looping his arms around you and bringing you to sit on his lap so you dont leave always saying “siempre preocupada para que estoy bien verdad mi reina?” and just thanking you for bringing him his lonche with little besitos:((( i cannot hold on
him not wanting you to get involved in what he does :(
like hes not going to completely deny or lie about what he does/is but i mean hes never going to tell you or even let you hear a word about the deeper shit he does,, like that scene with him and pinche arturo for example
he just doesnt want you to get completely scared of him and leave :((( even tho you already love him for who/what he is because hes different around you ok:(( hes soft 
wow um since its sort of the same subject when the whole shit went down where he betrayed tijuana,, him definitely cranking your protection to the highest possibility he can or just completely sending you somewhere in secret so your not caught up in his shit :(
just him not wanting you to be harmed in any way because then he would absolutely fucking lose it if the arellano felixs want to hurt you or take you from him :(( le pide a dios to protect the one thing he cares about :(( excuse me
wow him also not hesitating to drop everything hes doing in that moment if you ever call out to him and it doesnt matter how small of a favor you ask of him because hes doing it :((
and if he ever sees you struggling to get something or do something hes already forgetting what he was busy doing and going over to you gently scolding you like “y porque no me llamas preciosa? para eso tienes hombre” :(( un pinche caballero
him also being the type that yells out to you as soon as he gets home because he wants to give you a besito :((
and listen i dont know if it’s just my soft ass here but you wearing like a sundress because he loves seeing you in them-
and you walking up to him while he’s chuckling and picking you up and twirling you around :(( like como estas mi preciosa, te extrañe todo dia :(((

just pulling your back into his chest and resting his head in between your shoulder and neck:((( kissing you softly and going que haces mi amor? all soft and raspy im done :((
i fucking cannot because hes also definetly the type to have a picture of you always in his wallet :((
and everyone he works with always sees him kissing your photo before he gets to work como su buena suerte :(
:(((him pulling it out :( and just showing you off :(( like mira esta es mi chulada de mujer, por ella lo hago todo :( his lovesick smile never wearing off :((
i laugh because chapo and the rest of the guys always tease the shit out of him because mayos always going on about “es que me gusta ser mi propio jefe” and shit and how it applies to everything
but as soon as you come into the picture that saying goes out the fucking door because all the sinaloans see how weak in the knees you have him and all the favors he does for you lol
just chapo clapping back when mayo denys joining sinaloa like no mames pinshe mayo como con tu mujer no eres asi?,, and his egoistic ass being like ??? what? thats not true?
pinche güero going yeah it is,, si la mujer manda siempre cabron because thats how he was once :((( im leaving-

hi hi <3 back to request bc i just love your work!
could i request haikyuu boys reacting to their fem!s/o getting a phone call and a guy on the other line says “hey, you home alone?” or something along those lines. there was a tik tok trend where girls would get a fake ft call with a guy saying ^ to see how their boyfriends would react, i think i may be able to find a video if you want but i do hope i explained this well :)
❥ “Hey, you home alone?” Prank on HQ characters
Includes Oikawa, Bokuto, Tsukishima and Kageyama
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ᴀ/ɴ: i am glad you like my work, luv and this looks fun to write and I love these pranks a lot! hope you liked this luv 💕 also did my blog really go quack or is my stuff just getting ignored 👩‍🦲
Tumblr media
Oikawa Tooru:
Tumblr media
I would like to write a whole damn essay about how much I love oikawa but this is not our topic for today until now at least
SO, you felt bored and wanted to do something, plus oikawa has been free from pranks for far too long
That’s another reason why TikTok is your place to go for pranks
You saw said prank and wanted to do it since our lovely tooru has rather interesting reactions
So you set it up the sound and held your phone while your boyfriend is in the kitchen counter behind you preparing a snack for movie night
It was all fine and dandy until
“Hey, you home alone?”
You suddenly heard things stumble and your boyfriend was beside you in a snap with a frown on his face
“No she is not alone and in fact we are going on a date so you can just go FUCK YOURSELF— babe you are recording?”
You then smiled cheekily before bursting out laughing resulting in the blank stare and a pout from your boyfriend beside you
“Y/N, that’s mean, how dare you?”
However you didn’t expect your boyfriend to slam down on you and try and suffocate you with hugs
“Tooru get off!”
“No, apologize!”
He also peppered your face with kisses until you were sorry
You also posted the TikTok and it got more than 400k likes 👩‍🦲
And my favorite part is the comments so let’s start
Some of them were like
“LMAO THE SPEED HE GOT THERE WITH”
and “he is so pretty tho tf”
as well as “the kisses at the end were adorable tho lol”
Of course his ass was sticking out while peppering you with kisses so someone commented
“What a flat ass”
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Bokuto Koutarou:
Tumblr media
I personally believe that Bokuto would have TikTok and would know about the trends unlike the dumbass up there who I think would only stick to one side of TikTok
Bokuto likes diversity in everything and doesn’t like getting left out, once again it’s my opinion
So he obviously knows the trend and you know that he knows, so you got a video of someone with a voice he never heard
He had just came from training and entered the home with a big smile and greeted you with a kiss
And so as he turned his back to you he heard
“Hey, you home alone?”
Bokuto threw the toilet roll at your phone knocking it down
His hair then deflated and looked at you with a look that made you feel extremely guilty
“Kou, it’s a prank.”
He then crossed his arms and faced away pouting
Now how do we make up things to a deflated and pouty Bokuto Koutaro, the great captain of Fukurodani?
Hug him from behind and start kissing his cheek and face then tighten the hug, like you are doing right now
He starts to relax to your touch still being just a little petty
“Don’t do that again, Y/N; these pranks aren’t funny.” He said barely audible as he was trying not to break his pout
He then broke into a fit of laughter and turned to hug you cause I stand by word when I say bokuto loves physical affection with every fiber of his being
And you guys continued the day cuddling <3
Onto the comments:
“HOW COULD HE KNOCK US DOWN LIKE THAT”
“That aim tho”
“HE IS SO MUSCULAR”
“Can we buy someone like him?”
He also gave you a kiss on the cheek while the camera was filming
Cause ✨ AFFECTION ✨
And by the way
He told kuroo about this
And kuroo is planning a lovely prank to get you back for what you did for his bro 🥱
And kou doesn’t have any idea that kuroo is doing a prank even
Tsukishima Kei:
Tumblr media
BAHAHA
The fact that you thought this was a good idea is very humorous, however tsukishima has TikTok, but ,unlike Bokuto, he literally knows everything
And he knew the moment you kept staring at him with a smirk on your face that there is something up
Inasmuch he was patiently waiting for your time to strike
He however then heard kageyama’s voice say
“Hey, you home alone?”
Love, when I tell you he whipped his head so damn fast he almost snapped it
“Hey king why don’t you go stick your dick in a dirt hole instead, y/n is too good for you.”
Cue you laughing while replaying the recording of kageyama saying that same line three more times
Explaining to him that it was a prank took some long time cause tsukishima was being a petty bitch
“Keiiii, I told you I am sorry—“ “no.” “Please, talk to me!”
Maybe just give him a hug or threaten him with going to kageyama and he will hug you from behind
“Don’t do it again, or I will never forgive you.”
Of course you wouldn’t go off the hook so easily sweetie
Tsukishima Kei ,as Tanaka once said, never forgets to counter and take revenge
So you basically started a prank war and may god be with your neighbors
But y’all still gonna watch the movie you agreed on and gossip so 🙄
You even managed to make him put on a face mask which I salute you for by the way
He is a little disappointed in himself cause he already knew you were gonna do something but still was shocked or rather startled
And for the comments which are the loveliest
“Woah is his neck okay—“
“The GLARE HE SO MAD”
“So stubborn wow”
You showed kageyama his reaction and he almost burst out laughing instead just ended up smirking in an evil way
While on the other hand hinata was rolling on the floor having the best laugh of his life aside from the one after his first receive which I was very proud of him for
Kageyama Tobio:
Tumblr media
Hinata was low key gonna ruin it all
Why?
He almost laughed his way through the one sentence he was supposed to say
So your boyfriend was just doing his nails peacefully like the pretty boy setter he is until your dumbass decided to do the prank him while he was doing that
And so in the middle of his nail care session he heard the voice of his best friend say
“Hey, you home alone?”
You didn’t want to use the actual audio since when you guys cuddle he watched TikTok with you and basically knows the trends because of you
Unlike his senior who despite having TikTok doesn’t remember trends for shit
So you called his best friend and made him take part in this and sacrifice his being for a good laugh
Anyways back to him almost injuring his finger when he heard it
“HINATA BOKE WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM Y/N?!”
“BAHAHAHAHA I AM SORRY Y/N I CANT!”
He kept glaring at hinata through the phone and ended up hanging up on him and returning him to the “to serve at their head” list for the 37th time
He just looked at you and pouted unintentionally
“It wasn’t funny you know, you scared me.”
Aw
now make it up to him
“What can I do so you can forgive me then, Tobio?”
“…milk and cuddles.”
And so he got it what he asked for
Hinata’s funeral got scheduled 3 days later but he made it out alive so it’s okay :D
The comments were interesting to say the least
“Did he just do like oxen do? You know, the air from their nose when mad”
“THE NAIL; IT ALMOST BROKE NO”
“So pretty”
“I feel like the orange headed dude is gonna get his ass handed to him.”
He went to ask noya and tanaka for advice to get you back for what you did
To which they told him to ignore you for 24 hours
They also shared the idea because they heard oikawa and tsukishima talking about it separately
They also showed him their evil laugh

i saw senpai @shadeswift99 do this so now im inspired:
Hermits Ranked On How Much I Could Fight Them And Win:
Welsknight: this bitch doesn’t even need to touch me. he would obliterate me just by rap roasting me so hard i would instantly disintegrate. 0/10 i would have no chance 
Grian: if i didn’t know any better i would take him. unfortunately i do know better and i know he’s stronger than all the other hermits that met irl at a convention and he absolutely destroyed a strength arcade game. 4/10 only because he has hollow bones but he would just evade me until i got tired and then punch my lights out
TFC: tfc would take me the fuck out with his one arm and leg, but i really feel like he just wouldnt bother. -10/10 bc i would never lay a fucking finger on my minecraft grandpa, he’s been through too much already. even if i did square up he is probably jacked as shit from mining for miles on end. no way 
Bdubs: bdubs would absolutely beat me on sheer strength, but he suffers from Little Guy Syndrome just like i do so id be able to take him out by insulting his height and distracting him since i know from experience that is what tics little guys off the most. however he also completely feral and is barely keeping a lid on it so he would stab me without any prompting. 3/10
Scar: nope. man is fucking giant and he’s too sweet to even consider a fight. i dont like using that cop out but i mean it in this instance. plus jellie would absolutely tear me apart if i even came near her boy with malicious intent and thats not how i want to die. 1/10 because i would win but at what cost.
Cub: man looks old as shit and is a government enforcer. i would not hesitate to fight him. 6/10 only because he has vex friends that would destroy me if i touched him
Cleo: she would break my legs and i wouldnt even be mad. i mentally could never throw a punch at her because zombies scare the living fuck out of me. i would instantly lose 0/10
False: i would die. -100/10
Stress: she was a drum player which means she has a lot of pent up aggression in there somewhere and i cannot compete with that. she also carries around flowers and that would take me out via allergy attack if i even got close. 4/10 because i think i could do it on principal but i also know i wouldnt be able to realistically
xB: mans has literally murdered in cold blood in season six, i fear him. he seems docile but thats all a facade and i know it. 2/10 only because fear would make me stronger but not strong enough
Tango: he would physically be very tough because of wrangling ravagers but he is also an idiot. thats not much advantage to me because so am i. 5/10 i think it would be an even split on who would win
Zedaph: in straight hand to hand i would obliterate him. however he unironically makes deadly traps just for people that visit his base so uh. 7/10 because i would drop him but he’s also too much of a violent introvert to even let me get close
Mumbo: he’s tall and buff but he’s too self conscious to use his physical attributes to his full potential. all i need to do is aim for the middle and he’d fall like a timbered tree. 8/10 only because i cant reach his face (and even if i could i wouldnt go for it bc of the beautiful mustache) 
Hypno: i know nothing about him and that scares me. ???/10
Keralis: he’s very sweet but he’s also rich. sorry keralis. 10/10 
Xisuma: i would give it my best shot but honestly i wouldnt even be able to touch him. he’s the fucking doomguy!!! what am i supposed to do!! 0/10
Iskall: he’s an assassin and built like a brick shit house. he’s also too friendly, i would unconsciously pull my punches because i don’t feel right about fighting such a nice guy. 0/10 he would actually take my life
Impulse: also a drummer. he is unsure if he’s actually human or not and that fact alone means he would be able to take me the fuck out. 2/10 he’s also a government enforcer and i want to fight him but i wouldnt last long 
Doc: he fought a god and only lost an arm. -10/10
Jevin: i could probably take him but the fact that he consists entirely of the substance that makes my bones want to escape my body means i would not fucking touch him if you paid me. 0/10 
Beef: he seems like a genuinely cool and fun guy but he wears a blood covered apron all the time so god knows what he’d do to me. he’s also smart enough to make advancements in technology that the human race has only dreamed of achieving. 0/10 because he looks like my dad and i would never fight him
Etho: he terrifies me. he canadian so that’d make me let my guard down slightly but then he’d sic an army of endermites on me. he’s an OG and i would not survive. 0/10  
Ren: he’s puppy. i would never dream of punching a dog in the face. even if i did, ren is so casually horny that i would whiff every shot out of sheer embarrassment. 5/10 because we would stalemate.

overhaul with a sibling who's a lot like yushiro from demon slayer? how would he react if they were attending ua behind his back? love that there's another demon slayer fan!
Overhaul reacts to brother reader that is like Yushiro from Demon slayer attending UA behind his back
TW : Human trafficking, mentions of blood
So lets set this scene, you are basically Overhaul's brother and you lived under his control you also have no freedom and has no idea what is the outside world is like.
One time you disobeyed you ended up being on the surgerical bed and all day long and he tortured you almost to d̶e̶a̶t̶h̶ he also injected a couple of illegal medicines on you.
You and eri are also in the same boat.He conducted many researches and experiments on both of your bodies and sells the drugs that he made on both of you in the black market.
You are also Eri's caretaker since the day she was brought in the yakuza - mansion.Yoy the one she can rely on the even in hardest times even though when she can't express her feelings well.
You actually also dont know about you and Eri's quirk that much.But your "so called" brother said that it is powerful and they both needed you on his league.
Days, weeks, months passed you had enough and decided to take along Eri with you to escape.You conducted a whole plan to escape.Thankfully your observant and know the basics on how to make an sleeping pill.
Every night your brother commands you to make him food smth like that.You, an pharmaceutical genius ended up drugging him without noticing.
T̶o̶o̶ b̶a̶d̶.He's too sharp.
You ended up running with Eri while Overhaul commands his team to capture you and the scared little girl.
The last thing you know is you and Eri getting surrounded by overhauls underlings.You started fighting back even without knowing what exactly how your quirk works.Blood and several broken bones is the consequences that you received.
Your in the verge of giving up, you were naive and weak as an 12 year old boy protecting an 3 year old girl.
Then suddenly you exploded blood and several human organs surrounded the whole shie-hassaikai base also the scared little girl's screamed echoed throught the base.
But why, why can you still feel your whole body even when your dead.The last thing you knew Eri was taken away and everyone was disposing of your blood and your body.
Your body ended up getting thrown to the river carelessly, your body that has been exploded piece by piece also ended up regenerating and ended up being normal again.You also don't feel pain.So you thought.This is my quirk huh?
A sigh of relief and hot blood comes rushing in through your veins as you ended up not being able to bring Eri along with you.
You did not cried at all.Crying is pointless and staying like this is also worthless.
The thing that first comes into mind is you going to turn yourself in to the child welfare services.You introduced yourself as an child sold by your family and you also introduced yourself with an fake name to hide your real identity.
You ended up being adopted by an family living in the city.You don't care at all as you long you can have revenge and save your sister and you will together escape this madness again.
You also go to know how to use your quirk well and uncover many secrets about it.
Your adoptive parents also started noticing on how quite your good at using your quirk so they ended up home schooling you.They were shocked you were such an intelligent obedient child they also treated you like their own.
You feel kinda safe,warm and comfortable at the same time.You also can't help to feel bad and burdened on how you abandoned Eri.Your living in heaven while she's experiencing hell.What a good brother you are you asked to yourself.
3 years passed you basically got into UA due to hardwork and determination You became also strong and your appearance drastically changed.
Meanwhile everyone UA aims to be number one and your goal is to save your sister from your pathethic brother.You also kept an low profile of yourself to hide your existence.
You actually ended up getting along with most of the class especially to Midoriya.You dont know why because he just gives the scent that you can trust him and he's a good person.
Also the girls in the class likes you because you respect them and also beat that little shit up by being a huge pervert.(if you know you know)
Time passes by and eventually their will be an upcomming event, the UA sports festival.Everyone in the class is excited meanwhile you are anxious, your identity will exposed and all your hardwork will go down the drain.
It does'nt matter,your much stronger and confident now.The sports festival came to an end and everyone gathered at the classroom for an sudden meeting. To be honest you did great on the event but you did not manage to get through the top 3 rankings.
You ended up getting an reccomendation to a hero agency.You accepted the reccomendation and it was basically for a month to get better and stronger.
Everything happened so fast, you ended up getting an reccomendation and accepting it and getting attacked by the villains.So UA decided to just make an dorm system to make sure that the students are safe at all times.
Aizawa announced that there will be an hero internship and you ended up getting back to the agency that trained you a few months ago.
Everyday is like usual you did multiple patrols, go to school to study and mostly can't sleep in the night.
You and so as the others like uraraka, tsuyu, midoriya, kirishima ended up being summoned at Nighteye's agency.
Their were many pro heroes as well your teacher, Aizawa is here.You can sense that the situation is quite serious and Midoriya and Mirio is acting weird and you can also sense fear in them.
Nighteye's sidekick bubble girl and centipeder explained that there is a villain on the loose.You lost your complexion, you felt sick and scared.All of your memories in hell projected throughout your head "Y/N - san are you okay? your complexion does'nt seem too good." tsuyu said in an concerned voice.
You replied, that your okay and you said that you've never ever seen something brutal.
As they've continue on nighteye mentioned that overhaul or also known as kai chisaki has an daughter.
You snapped and standed up while shaking " What seems to be your problem Mr.L/N?" nighteye said in his intimidating voice,everyone was staring at you like your crazy.
"I-i have something to confess." you said as your voice trembled
"And what is that?"
"My brother is Overhaul."
"Y/N - san you must be mistake----."
"NO! YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR GETTING INTO, AND THE WORST CASE SCENARIO IF YOU GOT SHOT BY THOSE DRUG YOUR QUIRK WILL BE DESTROYED AND WORSE SOMEONE WILL DIE!" you yelled and everyone stared at you with disgusted faces and even in disbelief
"So your saying that your in hands with Overhaul or your so called brother?"
"No... I tried escaping with Eri but she was taken away and my body exploded in pieces and my body parts ended up being thrown carelessly through the river,thanks to my quirk i can basically regenerate and create an new identity.However i did not accomplished on taking her with me.AND DONT YOU DARE IMPLY MYSELF WITH THAT MANIPULATIVE PATHETHIC MAN DONT YOU KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE BEING TORTURED EVERYDAY?EVERYDAY IS HELL AND IF WE MAKE A MISTAKE ONE FLICK OF THAT BULLET YOUR BASICALLY AN DEADMAN WALKING!AND I HATE SEEING PEOPLE DIE IN HIS HANDS!" you yelled in frustration.
Your classmates, stared at you in disbelief you are the most calm and composed person in every situation but in this situation, they did not know that you we're in despair.
"S-sorry, with that said.He thinks that i'm dead but no and i'm not affiliated with him anymore, plus the last time we saw eachother is 3 years ago."
"So please, i beg you save my sister she's all i have." you said as you bowed to the ground showing pure respect.
Nighteye sighed and he said he saw that coming and commanded you to tell everything that he did to you amd Eri and about their Yakuza gang.He also said to keep an distance and do not fight in the infiltration of their base.He also said to Aizawa to protect you.You agreed, it's the least thing that you can do to help in this kind of situation.
The day comes and you were basically watched by Aizawa eyes wide open (Lmao i just remembered i cant stop me and cry for me #Once #Twice).
You ended up not taking it anymore and sneaking out of the UA teacher dorm without anyone noticing.
You have no problem in making it through the base but you have to fight multiple of villains tho.You ended up seeing the sight of the ruined base and seeing your brother and Mirio fighting over the little girl.
"OVERHAUL!" you yelled in your booming voice as you've appear in the darkness wearing your hero suit .
"R/N?ah, so your alive?" he said in disbelief .
"Yes?so?my dear pathethic brother also known as overhaul."
"Too bad i shot him already." he said as he pointed at Mirio's struggling limp body as Eri just covered herself with his scrapped cape.
You ended up fighting him one on one.You knew that he was strong and powerful and so are you.
The last thing you knew was going all out with your quirk and passing out to the ground and you were in the hospital getting treated by recovery girl.
A few hours later you received the news that everyone in the Yakuza got arrested but Overhaul got taken away by the league of villains,Mirio ended up getting shot by the quirk destroying drug and ended up loosing his quirk.
Lastly sir nighteye got killed due to the bad injury that he got whilst fighting him.On the good side Eri was taken custody of and is doing well in the hospital together with Mirio and Deku.
You sighed in contentment and walked in your hospital clothes in the hallway trying to find her hospital room.
Your heart started racing and you saw the letter engraved "ERI" you finally mustered up the courage into opening the door.You saw Deku and Mirio playing with her
"Y/N - chan your here!" Deku said enthusiatically.
The little girl hids on her sheets when she thought that you were a bad person along with Aizawa.Mirio said that it is okay and you two are their teacher and a school mate.
"Eri - chan do you remember me?" you said on your soft voice she immidiately remembers that familliar voice, her eyes widened and ended up throwing her arms onto your embrace crying.
"R/N!"
"You do remember me!Your okay now your safe,nii-san is here to protect you and will not leave you alone." you said sobbing while hugging the little girl she nodded and you two just stayed like there for a while.
Deku and Mirio : 🥺 (Lmao you to scootch along i'm her real brother🔪).
And finally the hospital visit is over and they allow you to visit her along with Deku and Mirio during weekends on the hospital.
You also apologized to Midoriya and Mirio for meddling the middle of the fight.Instead they thanked you and if you were not there they would've ended up dead.
A few weeks later she can finally get out of the hospital and ended up being in Aizawa's care in the teacher's dorm in UA.Since you trusted him you allowed him to take care of her.
You also take care of her when Aizawa is not around along with Deku and Mirio in the dorms.
The whole class is also shocked in how much your attitude and behavi reverses when Eri's around.They were like : 🧐,🤭,🥰,😍,🤩,😱 is that even possible HShsgsh.
You also learned how to cook and teach Eri how to read and learn you also play with her ofc.
You also became more confident, and a .Lmao the look on your face when bakugo called you an Tsundere.And you said in the most murderous voice ever "DIE." then Eri comes in like : 🙁🗿.
"I said i will DYE my hair later pink HAHAHHAHAH😃." you said jokingly.
Everyone was like : 👁️👄👁️ Meanwhile eri's just : yea im down with that face with a small nod and a smile***
Mina aswell as the others ended up taking the joke seriously and you ended up having a pink hair color the next day to school.
Monoma said that you looked pretty u̶g̶l̶y̶ he ended up getting beat up by kendo.(SHHSHSHEHE LMAO😂).
Shoto thinks it's cool HAHAHHAHA.
Eri said that she likes it and it looks nice to you.Iida and Aizawa lets you slide disobeying the school rules just this ONCE he just wants to see the little girl happy.
The reaction on your adoptive families face when you told them that you have a sister is priceless.They we're like : " i guess we need to adopt another one." S̶i̶k̶e̶.
