Hi!!!! I’d like to request Vox and a reader who just refuses to get like new technology at all because they’re like “I don’t wanna waste money when it still works!” Like their phone case could literally be hanging on by a thread and they’d still refuse to get a new one
You don’t have to do this request if you don’t want to, take care of yourself and drink water❤️
A/N: Thank you. I keep forgetting to drink water every day. The only time I remember to drink is whenever I eat. Take care of yourself, too. And I’m the same as the reader you’re describing, lol. I still have an iPhone 6 and it’s still working. The battery drains so fucking fast though.
Warnings: None
———
Vox x Reader who’s a minimalist
Tumblr media
• while Vox is someone who owns (I think is) a multi-billionaire company and never had to think of not buying things he needed or wanted, he might agree with you about the money part
• he’s like Grunkle Stan from Gravity Falls or Scrooge McDuck (rich as hell but doesn’t like wasting money)
• but the thing is, he owned technology
• if it were any other stuff, he would be okay with it (it’s your money, after all. You do you)
• but it’s literally what his brand is built around
• he could just…give you a new one
• “No! I don’t want a new one.”
• he’d take offense to that
• because he already put all of your personal information in, from the apps you downloaded to your photos and, heck, your passwords, too
• and he did all of that without syncing it with your old phone (yeah, he knows everything—it’s not creepy at all)
• he knew you were complaining about the darn thing and decided to give you one
• so…why didn’t you want it???
• “Because it still works.”
• he’d just give you the deadest pan (not a word) ever
• your phone was old as hell, so the battery is pretty chemically fucked up
• it was also a device that he no longer puts any new updates in (because everyone else already moved on from it), so your phone was pretty outdated
• like, extremely outdated
• all of which meant that there would be some slight difficulty with communication
• and this man thrives from Facetiming you (he’s a busy guy)
• there would probably be more times you Facetime him than actually seeing him in person (assuming you don’t live with him. He probably has cameras there regardless)
• you’d keep complaining about how he keeps bugging out after a certain time has passed in the call or how it’s already gone down to 5% or how your phone is overheating because you’re charging it while calling him or how it’s just searing hot in general every time you use it—speaking from personal experience, lol
• it’s the reason why he decided to give you a new phone (he wanted longer calls without you having to hang up every 20 minutes because you needed to charge it)
• but noooo—your stubborn ass still insisted on using it because ‘it’s still working’
• ...yeah, no, he’s not taking any of that shit
• he’s still going to give it to you whether you like it or not
• his proposition is that, okay, you can use your old phone, but you have to use the new one for calls
• that’s all he’s asking for, really

Yess hope you enjoy ✨
𝔚𝔦𝔫𝔡𝔟𝔯𝔢𝔞𝔨𝔢𝔯 𝔠𝔥𝔞𝔯𝔞𝔠𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔰 𝔵 𝔏𝔬𝔩𝔦𝔱𝔞 𝔣𝔢𝔪 𝔰/𝔬
Tumblr media
✧.* JayJo
Once he saw you for the first time he’s bug-eyed and curious. Normally your style isn’t common so you stand out a lot. Some people around you compliment you and ask where you got your outfits. Others are annoying and mean and want to make fun of you and sometimes it’s very subtle. But Jay is very observant and can see the talking shit behind your back, and he’s not going to have any of it. Even if he doesn’t know you that well your style grabbed his attention, so little by little he’ll start talking to you. Being one of the people that compliment you but something was different with him, his smile was warmer and his body language exposed slight interest. Whatever you wear is his excuse to talk to you, for example if you’re holding an umbrella on a nice day he wants to talk about your outfit and then ends up asking more questions.
Conversations become about what type of music you guys like, what artists, recommendations, anything you recommend he will listen to it once he’s at home while he’s studying. But he can barely concentrate because you’re on his mind constantly. The music turns into eventually exchanging phone numbers to talk more, Jay is trying to stay friends for very long though because a month later he asked you out. Now that you guys are dating anything you wear he loves, even looking up the Lolita style online to search for dresses and accessories and send you pictures of them ‘Do you like this?’ ‘This reminds me of you.’ ‘I think you’d look good in this one’
He’s more protective of you because ain’t no way he’s gonna let anyone make fun of you now. Warnings and threats can turn into physical fights because people are so petty. He teaches them a lesson though, and he’s extra romantic with you afterwards. He admires your confidence and how you embrace yourself he doesn’t want that to end. A confidence booster, for sure. He’s your biggest fan, probably wants to take pictures of you a lot. Even if he doesn’t show it, trust me he’s obsessed with you and wants to be around you every second of every day
(That was long idk what happened just brain meats poured scenarios out of my head)
✧.* Vinny Hong
(This got a bit angsty)
Ok Vinny isn’t going to be as… responsive to how he likes your style, but he still thinks it’s really cool. If you’re dating him since he’s poor he’ll feel guilt for not being able to afford to buy you more outfits but at least he can afford flowers that match the color of what you’re wearing that day on a date. Whatever he can’t afford, he comes up with a plan to give whatever he has. He acts cold but he genuinely cares about you and wouldn’t want to lose you for the world. If you’re still dating him when he’s rich that’s when he’ll spoil you. He doesn’t expect anything back he just wants you to be happy.
You won’t be able to see Vinny as much due to crew business, but once he makes time for you he doesn’t want to leave you. These times are actually the hardest because if he’s going through it he will want to hold you. No need for words when you finally see each other he just wants to be in your arms again. And once he has to leave again he is even worse than before, your smiles just give him peace and comfort again and he needs that more than ever.
✧.* Dom Kang
Dom is simping… you’re a goddess to him that whenever he sees you he gets flustered and embarrasses himself a little. He’s not shy about showing how much he loves you, random kisses, hugs from behind, lots of compliments. He likes to brag and show you off (didn’t mean to reference the Doja Cat song lmao) But seriously he does… Especially when you’re rooting for him during the tournaments and he wins. He’s proud of himself and especially when you shower him with praises and hugs. Watch him melt and turn into a puddle.
✧.* Shelly Scott
One of the most romantic characters and your biggest supporter. If you don’t pull the strings she does and a lot of the times being the flirty one. You got her attention with your stand outish style like Jay. She genuinely wanted to be your friend at first, but she fell first and she fell hard. You fell hard too from how her charismatic personality and caring so much was pulling you in. It’ll take a little longer to confess to each other because you both assume you might not be into girls. But with little hints from Shelly, it started with subtle flirting comments like “If you were my girlfriend I’d spoil you.”
Finally she got the courage for just one date and see how it goes. Pretty much by the second date you’re official. She’s a bit clingy but that’s just her way of showing that she loves you. When she was training hard twitch her dad to help Humming Bird unfortunately she couldn’t reach out to you much but would send occasional texts like ‘😚’ or the cutesy love gifs
✧.* Wooin Yoo
Wooin might fun of you… Especially when he met you, but in his head he thinks he looks good and he can think it’s pretty hot that you don’t care what people think. And just like Dom, I feel like he enjoys when you watch him during his races. But compared to Dom, Wooin is kissing his own ass, “did you see how awesome I am, babe?” So you’d probably be mostly quiet until he’s done talking about himself or notices that you’re not saying anything to hype him up and comments on it
If someone made fun of you that’s when his limit comes because only he can make fun of you. He doesn’t care who it is even if his crew were to make fun of you. Though that wouldn’t really happen because 1. They know Wooin would be pissed 2. They actually don’t care how you dress. Surprisingly when you spend more time with The Sabbath Crew they aren’t as mean as you thought. Well, compared to your own boyfriend. But really when it comes to Wooin he is on high alert when you’re out with him making sure no one is looking at you the wrong way
✧.* Joker
Joker is the quiet type. But he’ll make up with it with physical touch and kisses. Just like Wooin he can’t stand it when people talk shit. Except Wooin doesn’t get into fights unless he’s provoked to, Joker on the other hand is violent. So he isn’t giving any warnings he’s giving a punch to a face. If you tell him that you don’t like when he gets into fights he will just not do it in front of you
On the cutesy side of things you met his brother and he thought you were cool. And his new puppy might finally have a babysitter while he’s in tournaments if you’re ok with it. If not he can just take the puppy with him like usual. Now he has someone to gush over animals with.

The Goth family travels to Paris, staying in their rich dad’s fancy Hausmanian apartment. Mihawk fucks off to god knows where (probs shady business) and Zoro would rather let Wado rust than stay a second longer with Perona shopping and eating pâtisseries in the Printemps. He roams around, lost, and stumbles into the Marais (gay neighborhood in Paris, literally means “Swamp”, and yes it’s far away from le printemps haha) and eventually sees the penis bakery (yes it’s real).
He enters, amused by the sesame seeds on the “balls” of the bread to mimic pubic hair, and is curious to see what else they sell. He’s browsing silently, very entertained by the phallicness of all their products, when the shop clerk clears his throat and says a passive aggressive “Bonjour” (you have to say hello when you enter stores, it’s impolite not to).
Zoro’s mouth dries when he looks up to the voice and sees a really hot blonde guy with a name tag - Sanji? staring at him from behind the counter. His eyebrow is… interesting to say the least , but what distracts him is his eyes…drowning him like a deep, blue ocean.
Zoro swallows with difficulty.
Still waiting for an answer, the blonde switches to English, gleaming from the interaction that Zoro is probably a tourist.
“Can I help you?”
Zoro had never understood why some people thought accents were cute or attractive. The French accent least of all.
But dripping from this guy’s lips? Absolutely charming.
“Uhm, what would you recommend?” Zoro’s eye gleams a bit mischievously as he surveys the penis shaped pâtisseries- and more regular looking items- around the shop, stepping closer and closer to the main display (and the man behind it).
“Well, what do you like, flavor-wise? Chocolate? Something fruity?”
Zoro holds himself back from making a stupid joke and thinks back on what Perona usually eats. “Fruity.”
The guy- Sanji- smiles and points to a penis shaped cake in front of him. “I recommend this raspberry-pistachio cake- this classic flavour pairing tends to be people’s favourite.”
Attention grabbed by the guy’s slender, graceful fingers, Zoro is once again slow to answer, and Sanji’s face tells him he’s probably not coming off as the brightest right now. His cheeks flush a bit.
“Sounds great. I’ll take one.”
“What size would you like?”
Zoro purses his lips. How has he managed to not make a single dick joke yet. He deserves a medal.
His eyes meets the clerk’s once again and the slight crease in his eyebrows and the expectant look seem to dare him to even try. He must get a thousand jokes like this a day. But Zoro’s only human.
“What size do you think is best?” Zoro’s voice drops a bit with his innuendo.
Sanji’s shoulders lightly sag, but it doesn’t stop Zoro from digging himself in deeper.
“I’m assuming the larger sizes are to share, since they’d be too filling for one person to handle?”
He hears the other man take a deep breath before he replies. “Look, man. Don’t shove this up your butt.”
Zoro buries the embarrassment flaring in his chest. “What the hell? Why would you say that, you pervert?”
“I’m the pervert? You’ve been acting weird and staring since you entered the shop! Tourists usually buy a penis baguette and leave! Why were you saying weird shit like “what size feels the best” about our cakes!?”
“That’s not at all what I said- and I was flirting with you, dumbass!”

Hey please can I request a Nikki Sixx x reader! Just a bit of jealous! Nikki, something along the lines of that there either at a music awards or some red carpet and the boys are off performing, and whilst waiting with the other s/os reader gets hit on by someone, and she plays into it, until the boys return and all hell breaks loose because no one flirts with Nikkis girl
𝐍𝐈𝐊𝐊𝐈’𝐒 𝐆𝐈𝐑𝐋!
Tumblr media
pairings! 2000s nikki x younger gf
warnings! age gap couple (not specified age), i think that’s it
word count! 900
a/n! hi mfs. alive & thriving w another nikki fic. i didn’t specify his exact age or the readers. but it is hot 2000s nikki bc he is my bf (real). so. DEAL WITH ITTTT.
AS IF BEING IN A RELATIONSHIP with a rockstar wasn't enough pressure from the public eye and his many (envious) female fans, music awards were pure stress. although your boyfriend, nikki, grew out of his phase of attending every spectacular event, you were still in attendance of a few of them. while nikki loved showing you off and having you there for support, you didn't quite enjoy it as much as you wished. although the thought of fangirling over your favorite musicians sufficed — you also had to deal with the overwhelming flood of hate directed at your relationship on social media the next morning.
it was always the same headlines. "nikki's downgraded to another twenty-year old" "y/n is hardly enough for a rockstar" "he's probably off cheating on her as per usual" or "i prefer nikki and his ex" it's just pure judgment of a relationship they haven't even witnessed. they don't see the love you share or how well the man treats you.
but the headlines truly didn't matter as much as supporting your boyfriend and his career, his passion. so, you found yourself sat at the rock 'n' roll hall of fame inductory evening. although mötley had yet to be awarded for their one of a kindness in the rock industry, they were still being honored tonight in the form of performing. which excited all four of them because whether or not they liked it, they would be performing infront of the most iconic and talented musicians. mick couldn't stop talking about jeff beck on the car ride over. he didn't want to fuck up in the god's presence.
but so far he'd done excellently during the beginning and chorus of 'kickstart my heart' which was a song having the crowd losing their shit. and quite honestly, so were you. you hadn't seen nikki perform too many times due to busy schedules and god was it hot. but as the hit came to the end, you noticed a man inching closer to you in his chair. he was only a few down from you but since the band was up on stage, they left you, their empty chairs, and tommy's girlfriend. you shot her an odd look as she glanced in the man's direction, shrugging it off. you decided to do the same until he filled your boyfriend's position beside you. which only made you ultimately uncomfortable.
"what's a beautiful girl like you doing here alone tonight? looking for eligible bachelors?" the man whispered towards you ear while the crowd roared in cheers for the notorious rock band. you simply rubbed your lips together without turning in his direction. your eyes locked on your boyfriend exiting the stage and heading backstage. "eligible bachelors?" you scoffed, simply annoyed with the toying of flirtation.
"yeah, some rich rocker... but you seem like a self-made typa woman," he quipped as his eyes travelled your tight fitting dress. your eyes finally caught a glimpse of him — recognizing him as some drummer in a rock band not so popular. but you knew him from your brother's crippling obsession with underground bands. "what does that even mean?"
"you've got a mouth on you..." he smirked while running a hand through his short dark hair as if he was all that. which only got on your nerves even more as you messed with your up-do, watching them announce commercial break upon the stage. but this guy wasn't letting go. "so are you an artist, producer, manager, a plus one, perhaps?"
"plus one." you responded with a glare as the man attempted to scoot closer to you. your thighs brushed for a moment before you shoved over to the next chair — visibly uncomfortable. "will you leave her alone?" tommy's girlfriend asked as she viewed the situation. the man furrowed his eyebrows before shooting a charming smile. "just making conversation."
you crossed your arms defensively as tommy's girlfriend shot you a sympathetic look. "so who're you with then, doll?" the drummer asked daringly. which only made you hold back an eye roll. "just saw him onstage."
"one of the old guys, cmon." he rolled his eyes as if it were nonsense. even though he couldn't be much younger than nikki himself. it was when nikki's death glare caught his attention that his eyes slightly widened. "old guys? will you get the fuck out of my chair before i deck you in the fucking face." sixx warned as the man stood up quickly and made his way towards the aisle and as far from the group as possible. slash laughed from the row behind. "jesus christ," you mumbled as nikki took a seat beside you. you scooted into him, back into your old seat. the rest of the band followed behind him and questioned the man practically drooling over you.
nikki wrapped an arm around you as you placed a kiss to his cheek. "thanks for saving me, rockstar." you whispered which made him smile slightly before going back to his 'hardcore rockstar' look. "yeah well, no one messes with nikki's girl."
"dumbass," tommy mumbled beside the in love nikki. all while the bassist was planning the ways he was going to fuck up the guy hitting on you after the show.

CW: Chrissy's mom. Specifically being body shamey and ableist. Also characters being pressured into a relationship they don't want to be in.
Okay but ST season 4 AU where everyone lives, including Chrissy and Jason. Like, Vecna breaks his victims and traps his victims in their own minds instead of killing them so he can feed off their life forces or whatever and Chrissy is found in the trailer broken and covered in upsidedown goop but still alive so everyone's like. This is some weird supernatural bullshit. And Jason still leads a witch-hunt.
After it all, Chrissy is awake and recovering and she breaks up with Jason for being the worst. And her mom is like. You're legally an adult, you chased away a good man, because you're bed bound for now you lost your cheerleading scholarship and the only thing that makes you worth anything. You can't even get a job in your current state. You need a man. If you let me set you up with a rich eligible bachelor and don't fuck it up, we will pay your hospital bills, maybe even college.
Meanwhile Steve is a hero, and is a publicity asset for the Harringtons, and for the first time since he graduated high school has some kind of value to his parents. He's being celebrated, and if they set him up with one of their business partner's kids they can curry favor. More so if it's the poor injured Cunningham girl who is beloved and lauded by the town for being victims of the bizarre serial killer, Henry Creel.
(Ignore the goo and the vines and the crack in the ground that used to be main street there was a serial killer and an earthquake and they were totally unrelated.)
So Steve and Chrissy are both being pressured by their parents into a relationship that even conceptually makes them uncomfortable. But she can't back out without starting adulthood in a wheelchair in crippling debt. And while Steve could probably survive being disowned and his parents' ire his abandonment issues and desperate people pleaser tendencies make him not want to piss off his parents, disappoint the Cunninghams, or hurt Chrissy's feelings.
So they go on a lot of very uncomfortable dates. And they kind of get along. And Steve breaks down and full on Robin word vomits that she's great and he's sure she'll find a great guy but he really doesn't want to upset their parents or hurt her feelings- but he really really doesn't feel that way about her- and it's not because she's in a wheelchair or anything- one of his kids is in a wheelchair- well not his kid- there's these kids he babysits- that's not the point- he's really really sorry, but he kind has a crush on someone else, and he can't keep pretending to date her to make other people happy, and he's really sorry. And she's like. Holy shit.
And he just broke down so she feels comfortable explaining her situation and he, overwhelmed by his protector instincts, agrees to keep up the appearance of dating until her hospital bills are paid and she can make her own choices about what she wants.
So they keep doing public dates and stuff. But outside of that, he invites her to meet his friends, cause she lost a lot of hers in everything. She's been really lonely, and she's very sweet and kind of dorky so she gets along with everyone.
And Steve told Robin everything because she's Robin, but not everyone else because he didn't want to get into his parents bullshit or expose Chrissy's baggage so they're all nice to her and get along but they're a little weird about it because that's Chrissy Cunningham. And Steve's dating her???
Also Robin is weird around her because hot girl, but everyone thinks she's jealous which is a weird dynamic. Chrissy thinks Robin is Steve's crush and keeps talking Steve up to Robin and talking about how Robin's great and how close she and Steve are and how nice that is. And it's very awkward.
Eddie is insanely jealous and he knows that Robin's a lesbian so he's like. Oh she has a crush on her best friend's straight girlfriend. That sucks. And he also hates that he can't hate Chrissy, because she's so fucking nice and sweet to him.
(Nancy, Jon and Argyle are all on varying levels of knowing something is up but are staying out of it because they are too stoned to parse what specifically is happening or too stubborn to admit that they made some wrong assumptions.)
(the kids don't care much beyond being glad that Steve wasn't flirting with every age appropriate girl he crossed paths with anymore)
And then Chrissy figures out that a) whoops she has a crush on her fake boyfriend's best friend (Robin). b) Steve and Eddie are in love. And c) Eddie thinks she and Steve are for real. So Chrissy tries to explain to Eddie that their relationship is fake without spilling Steve's baggage, and mentions that she doesn't even like Steve like that she actually likes Robin.
Through some miscommunication Eddie now thinks Steve is unknowingly Chrissy's beard. And he doesn't want to out Chrissy but he's a little upset that she's using his crush totally platonic guy friend this way.
Meanwhile Chrissy tries to team up with Robin to get Steve and Eddie together. Because Robin clearly loves Steve and Eddie and wants them to be happy even if she hates Chrissy for some reason. (Again Robin doesn't hate Chrissy she's just super awkward).
Boundless shenanigans ensue.

Fifty Shades of Grey posits "What if Edward was a sexy rich entrepreneur" and aside from all the hate that series usually gets, I just want to stop and consider for a moment.
Edward. Edward "Totally Sane Decisions" Cullen. As a successful CEO guy. Do you think canon Edward could start/become in charge of a major business, and how long before he runs it into the ground?
Well, the thing about CEOs, is they're odd ducks. They're not always (or even usually) the smartest of those who come up with "the thing" what they are instead is cut-throat workaholics who tend to be jackasses (every time I think I see an exception of that level of CEO, turns out, they were secretly the worst the whole time). It comes with the territory of having to beat out rivals, secure the position at the top, and manage everyone under you.
What I'm getting at is that Steve Jobs wasn't exactly a rational guy either, or even that technical for that matter, he could just make shit sound good sometimes.
Canon Edward's busy being a vampire and hating himself, obviously, and wouldn't be interested in being that type (he's more of an intellectual aesthetics guy who would disdain such things). He also wouldn't have an idea he'd want to push forward that badly or to deal with people at all, so I don't see him starting a business either.
So, this was a long way of answering your question and saying "no, he'd neither start one nor run one".
Though there's an AH AU to be had where he inherits the business he never wanted and is a moody troll about it while Bella is the hot personal assistant, he's horrified at being super attracted to (even though in this universe that's socially acceptable/he's not going to eat her probably).
Now, instead of complaining that he's a lion and she's a lamb, he complains that his father left him this company and he just wants to play piano!

RE7, RE8
A study of Ethan Winters cause I love him as a character and he's so fucking weird? definetely interesting.
I've taken a few liberties about his character
RE8 is so fucked up.
I hate it.
Okay, so Resident Evil games have this entire set up/scheme that they religously follow. If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it, right? RE7 was different because it was a FPS with a very intimate horror setting. It relied solely on horror and not just the adventure side of most Resident Evil games. RE8 was crafted exactly like a typical Resident Evil videogame which isn't bad but Ethan made the difference.
Ethan is "a regular dude" given the motive "save my daughter" with the added emotional turmoil of "my wife is dead". Kinda sounds familiar right? it's almost in parallel with RE7.
"My wife's been missing for 3 years" -> "i just my wife get murdered"
"I must find my wife" -> "i must find my daughter."
So now we have Ethan's entire emotional state and motive to go forth into dangerous scenario to base videogame off of. However...all too quickly everything gets way out of hand. In RE7, the presented story is something understanble and maybe even relateable to Ethan's understanding of the world. He went into the deep swamps of Louisiana and there's a crazy murder family who'd been snatching victims (this is without the explanation of mold which is later revealed to him). Now he walks into a european village and there suddenly werewolves? steampunk man with metal powers? marionette witchcraft? hunchback of putrid mutant? evil seraphim? this is way out of his league of understanding!
And yes, he had some form of military training and was in some form of witness protection program? However there's a BIG difference between "yeah I survived Louisiana madhouse that just happened to be a mold hot spot, afterwards getting military training" and then Leon Kennedy level of bullshit bumfuckery. speaking of Leon, RE8 was odd because it kept treating Ethan as if he was Leon!
I don't mean the "Ethan Winters your reputation proceeds you" or how RE8 was just a reordered version of RE4 with some diverse bossfights, it was the "let's treat Ethan like the heroic character" when...he isn't. RE8 would have been so much better if Miranda and the Lords weren't so concerned over Ethan's appearance. What if Miranda and the Lords were going about their business getting ready for the ceremony when suddenly there was "some guy" who starts culling their army reserve?
Ethan's character in RE8...is pretty bland in comparison to RE7. Again, it's probably because he's a "quiet" man who doesn't really talk to the camera about what he knows, what he's thinking or feeling. RE8 is so big and momentous that it sorta drowns him out as a character with agency. His dialogue isn't as rich, his choices are very guided towards an endpoint, and...even the shit we do see makes Ethan out to be more heroic than what we've seen in RE7.
It's...odd? and maybe this is just bais and opinion at this point but Ethan Winters is a character ill-fitted into the protagonist role of RE8. Whereas Chris Redfeild, Leon Kennedy, and Jill Valentine could all be fitted into heroic roles and imagery like King George and the Dragon, David and Goliath, and Joan of Arc, Ethan was never a character to lead an epic journey. He's more of a "silent hunter"? idk, keep having the image of a slow and steady persistence hunter, verses...whatever the hell the other heroes got going for them.
Really, the storyline of RE8 is ill-suited for Ethan. Can't say I don't understand, a videogame is often just a videogame so the story is compromised to better fit the gameplay. and because it's so bad, I'm really tempted to do a RE8 rewrite fanfic out of pure spite but lmao ain't got enough braincells to spread across two fandoms when i'm already invested in one.
So we go up against the 4 Lords before we have a face-off against Miranda. The segment in Lady D's castle...was awkward in a character development sense. Ethan heads into the castle over and over against cause it's the biggest building around and thus the most likely to have his daughter, except even with the Duke's hints and encouragement, Ethan's motive was really shaky. Why? Because was he in the castle to save his daughter or to kill vampire ladies? would've been better if that part of the game was more dedicated to "run, hide, and investigate" with the sisters trying to hunt for him just like later Lady D would do. Instead we have multiple mini-boss fight scenes before we see the cradle and remember why we're in the castle in the first place. then we fight+defeat Lady D. Which is weird? Okay, so game mechanics Lady D just happens to find you after you kill her 3 daughters and start tomb-robbing. However...story wise it's weird because your PRIME motive is "find my daughter" so why go on killing spree? why the heroics?
we go to Duke and finally get our mission to find/build master key and also collect daughter parts from the 4 Lords.
We go to Beneviento's house which was a WASTED OPPORTUNITY for some character exposition. CURSE YOU ETHAN FOR BEING A QUIET MAN!!! We got to hear Mia talking to herself throughout her pregnaucy and honestly without the added context of "Mia was confronting the truth about both Ethan and her baby being mold people" ...i would have thought all her dialogue was due to a hard pregnaucy. This could have been prime real estate to expose Ethan and Mia's relationship, how they healed after RE7, their thoughts about building back their marriage, their fears and even the doubts about having a child. but we get NOTHING from Ethan! Was the monster baby a representation of Mia's fear? Ethan's fear? or was it just a monster? IDK! this part was so good horror wise but storytelling it SUCKED!
the Monreau segment was so lackluster. It was just a RE4 reference except more gross with acid and boogers everywhere. Ethan is able to get ahold of his daughter piece and for some reason he found pity for Monreau's weeping? He definitely stopped to listen to whiny fish baby's tantrum which I find really odd because...why??? He never showed much sympathy so why now would he stop to listen to "Miranda wants her baby back" speech? unless it was only meant for a game mechanic which i'm getting sick and tired of because it's just shit writing at this point.
We go get to reunite with Chris and get some answers as to what's going on but really Chris? you're gonna look the same man who UNTRAINED and COMPLETELY IGNORANT managed to clear an entire bioweapon's mold infestation BY HIMSELF and try to say "stand down" and expect obediance? yeah, your brainwashing military training ain't that strong.
Then we get to Karl's segment and... honestly why? why was Karl even interested in Ethan? Ethan doesn't have extraordinary abilities other than "fuck you" levels of adrenaline and perseverance. So why did he want Ethan on his team as he reblled against Miranda? Heh, almost understanable why Karl/Ethan is a thing because i can't think or anything other than pure lust probing Karl to make his offer. Karl is a bioweapon engineer, having built an army of cyborgs and is probably the only person in the village who know how cellphones actually work. Oh, as he had magnet powers so why does he want/need Ethan? In order for Rose to be reliably handled and managed? she's a 6 month baby, not even potty trained, wtf?
then chris comes clean about everything and Ethan uses tank to defeat mutant Karl with some moves pretty sure Leon Kennedy would be proud of cause they were pure bullshit.
Ethan finds out about his own mold problem and ugh you can't convince me the whole "Ethan knew he was going to die so might as well sacrifice himself" was just add to trigger the fuck out of Chris who'd seen his friend in RE5 die in an incredibly simular way. Very dramatic, heroic scene. Very "i face god and walk backwards into hell"
All in all...RE8 was a videogame. Forgiveable? Yeah, cause it was never meant to be a story. the problem here is that whilst all Resident Evil games are literally video games and makes compromises about characters, their development arcs, their stories so that it's more about the game than an actual narrative, RE8...was just a game with a cobbled together story with no care to the actual characters.
And it wasn't just Ethan who got the short end of the stick. Chris Redfield was casted into an anti-hero role and Mia was a forgotten SUPER SKETCHY character throughout. Uuuuuuggggghhhh at this point i'm just raging against a video game instead of doing an indepth character study. sorry gang

my hot take is that caring about celebrities cheating is weird and invasive. like yeah i’m not saying ‘cheating good’ but ultimately it’s none of your business if it about complete strangers. i agree that cheating is bad and i hope i never do it and it never is done to me. but pretty much everyone will either be a cheater or know a cheater in their life time and like. it happens. people are complicated and relationships are hard.
yeah 100%. i've never cheated. i think it's a terrible thing to do to another person. but also it's incredibly common, and i expect it's even more common among celebrities due to the whole rich/famous/attractive/connected thing they've got going on that a pleb like me will never understand
also 'he cheated on me' can mean anything from 'he got blackout drunk and kissed someone else' to 'he has a second family and has kept them a secret for the past 15 years'. so speculating about celebrities cheating, when we don't know jack shit about whether or not they actually cheated or what that cheating looked like, is absolutely pointless
especially since they've obviously both moved on from their marriage to each other. taika has remarried. the vibe i got from that interview was that chelsea is doing really well and feeling good about herself and has been able to pursue a lot of stuff that she would probably never have been able to do if she'd gone to australia with taika
i'm not going to sit here and judge a guy i've never met for doing something he might not even have done when all he is to me is a guy whose work i enjoy and all i am to him is Nameless Fan #1437

“why do you even like topper?” *deep breath*
imagine you’re 16 and your brain isn’t fully developed and you just finished your sophomore year of high school, and you’re ready to have the best summer of your life with your beloved girlfriend. you’re both like crazy rich, and you hate the poor kids in your town and everyone thinks it just cuz they’re poor which probably isn’t entirely untrue, but they also all have a huge victim complex and believe poor=good and rich=evil and they can do whatever the fuck they want with no consequences. in fact, you don’t even hate ALL the poor kids cuz there’s actually a very high working class population on the island none of which you’re seen having any problems with besides these four kids who probably don’t shower and have some weird nickname for their friend group. whatever. so you’re at a party one night with your girlfriend and one of these drunk rascals starts basically harassing her and not letting her leave so you stand up for her and throw a drink in his face and at this point he’s ready to throw down. so now you’re in an all out brawl with this guy and his best friend and you and the best friend are just beating the ever loving shit out of each other until the guy from before literally holds a loaded gun to your head and gets you to stop.
the next day you’re chilling with your girlfriend and your two best friends, one of which is her psychopath brother, and she likes to do quirky little things like pretending to die to prank you. cute! so you’re talking to her little sister about how you’re worried about her and how much she means to you and the little sister is like “oh yeah btw she’s cheated on every guy she’s ever dated and the guy you were beating up last night works on our dad’s boat and is stealing from us but she let it slide and started flirting with him so that’s fun” which isn’t untrue but is also an extremely dramatized version of what went down cuz the sister’s like 13. and you’re probably thinking just trust your girlfriend over her sister, she’s with you for a reason (definitely not social status and your hot bod, which she ironically accuses you of later on) and she only has your best interests at heart and would never do anything to hurt you, right? to which i say lmao you’ve clearly never watched this show. you’re already done with this punk ass bitch and we’re not even a full two episodes in, so you decide to let your girlfriend’s dad know that his employee has been stealing from him, like any logical human being would do. you try to talk to your girlfriend about the fight from the night before and confront her about flirting with this guy and letting him steal from her family, and she tells you you’re being irrational and the fight (and you getting threatened with a loaded gun) is your own fault.
a day or two later, things are good with your girl again, you’re hanging out and treating her like a queen and you go to a party with her and y’all are drunk and kissing and she promises you she’ll never, ever cheat on you and this girl is dtf so of course you ask for consent like three times like a gentleman and she says yes but then changes her mind and stops you and you get upset (this is one of the only things he’s done that’s actually pretty fucked and i can’t really justify lol) but still handle the situation a lot better than you could have cuz instead of pressuring her of begging her to put out you’re just like “ok whatever fuck this” and walk away from the situation and then her brother (your established bestie) who’s three years older than you peer pressures you into doing lines of coke. cool! so the next day you’re hanging out with said evil brother/bestie right and one of the poor kids that’s friends with the guys you fought is walking on your golf course just doing his job and your friend has the grand idea to fuck with him and you’re like “ok dude, calm down, he’s just minding his own business not hurting anyone let’s just leave him alone and play some golf please bro golf with me bro” and this piece of shit is like “lmao no” so he goes over to the guy and starts harassing him and even tho you know it’s wrong you kinda go along with it and start antagonizing him too cuz you wanna prove to your older best friend that you’re cool but then he starts beating the absolute shit out of this guy and you’re like woah woah woah holy FUCK and get him to stop cuz he’s about to kill this mf and you’re checking to make sure the guy is okay and then y’all go about your day and kinda just pretend that didn’t just happen ig? until the dude your friend just beat up gets convinced by his friend Gun Boy that it’s a great idea to sink your probably $100k family boat to get back at you guys… cuz, ya know, that’s reasonable. why go after your friend who did 99% of the damage, right? so then you get absolutely reamed by your emotionally abusive mother who blames you for the boat sinking and tells you everything is your fault. fun! and who do you blame for this? not even the guy who sank your boat, no! you understand why he’s upset! you go to your friend like “hey bro, wtf is wrong with you, stop beating innocent people up now I don’t got a fuckin boat” but your friends are dicks and gaslight you into thinking this is all the guy who sank your boat’s fault and you should get back at him so y’all beat him up. funky! meanwhile unbeknownst to you your girlfriend is out of town cheating on you with the guy she found stealing on the boat.
anyway the next day is this really huge party and you’re so excited to go with your girlfriend and have an amazing night with her but you’re a little worried because she fully ignored you the day before and you’re not really sure what’s up. so she completely stands you up at the party and arrives with her family instead of with you and tries to ignore you the whole time until you confront her and tell her you’ve been worried about her and she refuses to tell you where she was the day before and gets mad at you for asking. anyway she sneaks off with this guy that she’s cheating on you with and you see them together but you’re not really sure what you saw so you ask her about it and she gaslights you and says you’re being crazy and too controlling of her. neato! so of course since you’re a sad insecure teenager you let it get to your head and you believe her and are like man, i was being an asshole and i should’ve just trusted her, she’d never do that to me! so you go to her room and apologize profusely to her and tell her how much you love and trust her and how much she means to you and then you find out she’s not actually there, who’s there in her bed? plot twist: her little sister who admits to you that she’s out cheating on you. fun! so you go find her with this guy and at this point you’re wasted trying to drink the pain away and you and the guy are fighting up on this big structure and you’re pushing him and he pushes back and falls thru the railing and almost dies lol. even though it’s very obvious from your shocked and terrified reaction that you didn’t mean to push him to his near death but now your girlfriend and the fandom hates you but you don’t know the fandom part because you do not know that you are a fictional character. great! however you immediately forgive her for cheating on you and try to fix things and she’s just like “fuck you you almost killed my boyfriend” and you split on her cuz you’re heavily BPD coded and call her a slut and everyone’s like “bUt tHaTs mIsOgYnIsTic” yes but it’s also not false lmao.
now this guy she’s apparently dating, who’s pretty much an orphan has been adopted by her evil father (cuz her entire family is insane besides her poor sweet innocent little sister) and they’re technically siblings ig which is really uncomfortable but anyway now they’re living together. awesome! anyway some really important plot shit goes down that you know nothing about and the sheriff gets murdered it’s all real weird but everyone including your now ex girlfriend’s dad, who you don’t know yet is an evil mastermind and he’s the most trusted man on the island, is saying that the guy your ex left you for is the one that shot the sheriff and since you have been given no reason to trust this douchebag you immediately believe it and even help the police catch him like the good citizen you are until your ex tells you the truth, that it was her psycho brother that killed the sheriff, and you’re kinda not sure whether to believe her or not but she’s like “if i was lying and framing someone, why would i say it’s my brother?” so you’re like “oh shit you right fam” so you decided to help her and her new boyfriend by disguising yourself as him and going out into a sea of armed police men ready to shoot him down, risking your life, while your ex and her new boo run off into the night and escape into the ocean in the middle of a storm and are presumed dead. lovely!
anyway some time goes by and you’re mourning your “dead” ex who you’re still in love with while putting some distance between yourself and her brother which was a weird enough friendship to begin with cuz you’re 16 and he’s 19, and don’t get on me cuz that’s the age difference of me and my bestie cuz i have a plethora of friends ranging from ages 16-22 whereas this goofy mf only hangs out with two 16 year olds and his evil dad. it’s real weird. not only that but he’s just really busy with the whole covering up the murder thing and doesn’t really talk to you anymore. you’re worried about geometry tests, he’s worried about how to cover up a murder, y’all are in very different stages of life with very different priorities rn. and all your friends are like “omg of course this poor kid from the janky side of the island did it good thing he’s dead right” and even though you don’t like this mf at all you still stand up for him to your friends cuz you know he’s probably innocent and you (unsuccessfully) try to stop a fight from breaking out between one of your friends and this guy’s best friend (the one with the gun) over it cuz there’s a time and place to beat a bitch and breakfast at the country club is Not It. and also you see both sides so you’re like *peace and love* but they still beat the shit out of each other lmao.
anyway surprise! your ex is alive and her and her boyfriend are back! interesting! but her brother is still fucking insane and she’s willing to testify that he is indeed the one that shot the sheriff so he tries to murder her but you show up just in time and save her life and beat the shit out of her brother cuz who the fuck tries to drown their sister like why were you ever friends with this dickface. so you let her stay the night with you to make sure she’s safe from her murderous brother and give her a phone that you can track her location on and even though it’s clearly established that that’s not something you actively do cuz you know it’s none of your business and only for emergencies cuz she keeps putting herself into dangerous, near death situations that she had never been in before this new guy, everyone (the fandom) thinks you’re a stalker now. groovy! oh also her boyfriend is now jealous of you that you saved her life and is mad at her about it. anyway a couple days later she watches her dad supposedly kill himself and you immediately rush to her aid while her boyfriend is just like “he was a bad person get over it” so she breaks up with him and you and her start hanging out more, and you let her stay at your place for a bit since she can’t stay with her (now ex) boyfriend or her family.
a couple days after all that you all go to a party together and you’re not quite sure how she feels about you since she just got out of a relationship but you still love her and you are her are getting along really well, you both forgive each other for the pain you’ve caused each other in the past and things are starting to feel like they did this summer when you guys were together. so you try to kiss her at the party and she shoots you down, and since you’ve grown as a person instead of getting offended by her rejection this time you totally get it and are 100% respectful of her boundaries, and blame yourself for trying to make a move in the first place. meanwhile her ex is talking to some pick me girl who’s saying terrible things about her, and she decides to go confront them which leads to this girl insulting her and you standing up for her while the other guy just kinda… stands there. so you’re like “hey man, what the fuck, you’re gonna let this girl talk about her like that?” which leads to y’all getting into yet another fist fight cuz the peace and love attitude did not last long lmao. anyway you talk to your ex and she thanks you for all you’ve done for her and promises you she’ll never disappear on you again like she did last time. so you make plans with her and you show up to her house cuz she’s back living at home now for some reason and encounter her psycho brother who tells you she blew you off to go hang out with this other guy again, which you don’t believe cuz she wouldn’t do that to you, right? (she would) anyway she’s out doing god knows what with him and before you know it, lo and behold, she disappears and is presumed dead again!
a month goes by and you try your best to get over her, she’s missing and presumed dead and even in the insane chance that she did come back, she’s made it clear she’s not interested, so you try to move on and have a life outside of her and her insane family for literally the first time. anyway, it’s been a month and guess who’s back, back again. your ex! and her boyfriend that she got back together with! wonderful! also turns out her evil father is actually alive and ALSO tried to kill her lmao. so she’s back but she’s trying to ignore you cuz she knows if she so much as looks at you it’ll piss her boyfriend off, but you’re rich and she’s not anymore since she decided to cut off her family so her and her friends have the grand idea of making you their errand boy and convince you to steal your dad’s truck (also you have a DAD? what???) to commit a train robbery of some ancient artifact which is apparently extremely important to boat sinker’s heritage. so you’re like ok whatever, i would do anything for this girl, like literally anything, and you do it. and the whole time her entire group of friends is ordering you around like you’re their servant (damn, these poor kids sure are entitled), and berating you for not being down for committing a felony, running from the police, wrecking your dad’s truck, and almost dying. when the job’s done there’s not so much as a thank you, just you having to go home and answer to your furious parents.
a couple days later her and her boyfriend get into a fight cuz he decides to rub in her face the fact that her dad tried to murder her, but they’re still together. so you invite her to a party that you’re going to (cuz you’re somehow not grounded??) with your group of friends who also happens to be her old group of friends from before she started slumming it with the poor kids. so you’re talking just the two of you at the end of the night and you tell her how incredibly sorry you are for anything you’ve done to hurt her and how much she means to you as a friend cuz you’re soooooo totally definitely over her for sure and then she kisses you. SHE kisses YOU. and you’re like fuck yeah, maybe she actually likes me, maybe I’m finally enough for her (you’re not). anyway she spends the night with you and you maybe fuck but idk it’s unclear. so you take her out to a nice breakfast the next morning so she knows you care about her and she’s not just some one night stand. that night you see her at a fancy party and her broke ass boyfriend sneaks in telling her they need to leave to go to south america. what for? you don’t know, you’re a side character that only exists to be her boy toy when her boyfriend is treating her like shit.
anyway she confesses to her bf that she cheated on him with you and he decides to beat the shit out of you, but this is a nice anniversary party and you really don’t want any trouble and you’ve also grown up a lot and are tired of fighting so you’re like “c’mon bro, please, let’s not do this here” but he’s furious cuz who gets with another guys girl, right? lmao oh wait. it’s almost like that’s how they started dating in the first place. so he starts swinging at you the whole time you’re begging him to stop bcuz you’re tired of fighting and trying to change from your old ways, you’re just tired bro. but he keeps beating the absolute shit out of you even far past the point that you’re already unconscious while his girlfriend begs him to stop. so what do you do (when you regain consciousness the next day, that is)? what literally any sane person would do and press charges. so you ask your ex to testify on your behalf bcuz she saw everything but when the day comes she tells you she can’t do it and begs you not to press charges bcuz her boyfriend needs to flea to south america to help his dad (who was presumed dead and lost at see but is actually alive) who’s been abducted (and this is actually the truth, believe it or not!) and she promises you that her bf will be gone and out of your hair but that she’ll stay on the island with you and will not go with him. so you begrudgingly agree to drop the charges, your mother of course taking the opportunity to tell you what a failure you are for not going thru with it. your ex says she’ll call you tomorrow night but she never does, and who do you happen to run into? none other than your ex best friend himself, her psycho brother, who tells you that she stood you up and is off with her boyfriend. and you’re all like, no, no way, she would never do that to me, things are different this time, she made a promise! and for once in his life he’s actually right and he’s like “oh yeah? check for yourself.” so you drive to her boyfriend’s house and lo and behold, there she is, fucking him. now look me in the eyes and tell me you wouldn’t burn that fucking place to ashes. look. me. in. the. eyes.

the irony of sports fans always being racist and just overall horrible to BTS only for their faves to be literal lilac lieutenants themselves because how many famous athletes across all manner of sports now have been revealed to be armys??? 😭😭😭
filed under: disappointed but not surprised
i have to absoutely marvel at the cojones of some mouth-breathing basement-dweller like ol whisky_nick here:
Tumblr media
sorry to ruin your day buddy, but THEE MIN YOONGI doesn't give a shit if you think he looks like a woman or you don't like that he's asian. he's too busy being hot, rich and hydrated.
evidence below:
Tumblr media
i'm sure yoongi will toss and turn all night on his prada sheets worrying about some guy who probably didn't get dressed today to leave his mom's house and touch some grass.
so congratulations to min yoongi for being THAT BITCH anyway and for being the fave of all the people those basement dwellers idolize. saranghae 💕

i have no sympathy for jack perry or tony khan.
TK is a rich boy who started a company in the "Men Solve Their Problems By Hitting Each Other" business but didn't want to actually do any of the work, like making sure there's someone to handle shit when it spills into real life, because again, this is the business for people who solve their problems by hitting each other. And they're probably gonna do that OUT of the ring too, unless you fucking stop them and force them to work it out civilly.
jack decided to throw a tantrum and act like hot shit and make problems for other people, and couldn't handle being told no. and let that fucking simmer and seethe for WAY too goddamn long, like. fucking let it go. you didn't need to bring it up again and be a sore winner. get over yourself.
and then you combine both of these things-- a guy who fights to solve problems, a rich boy who doesn't want to do work, and a kid who thinks he's invincible, and it went the only way it could possibly go. after multiple warnings, no less. he got in his face and told him to do something about it, and he did.
if jack's fans wanna get mad at someone, you should be looking at TK, who was warned more than once and chose to let it happen.

@believesinponds wanted to see Izzy calling Lucius 'angel' in 'wake myself in the shadows'.
“It’s about buried desire and how that can manifest in other places in someone’s life,” Charlie arched his hand through the air, miming a crash landing. “When you repress one part of yourself and it appears as the things that most frighten you.” 
“Is it?”  Lucius asked skeptically. They were sitting on the couch in the living room, the last of the sunset spreading over them. He’d only gotten in a few hours ago, but he’d already come twice, gotten mildly stoned, and was now being interrogated about the movies Charlie had asked him to watch.  “Cause I was stuck on the creepy fucking clown.” 
“He is freaky as fuck,” Charlie agreed with a laugh. “But c’mon, you know what I’m saying.” 
“Oh yeah, it’s pretty intensely about pretending you’re not gay, I got it. I just wish it hadn't been via ruining balloons and Paul Bunyan for me forever.” 
There was the quiet clink of keys and then the front door swung open. Izzy walked in, discarding some kind of mail into the bin by the door and then bending down to take off his shoes. Charlie was watching him intently even as he kept on talking. 
“The thing is, I bet King had no idea what he was really putting in the book. I could write another dissertation on how ostensibly straight authors-” 
“Always write the gayest possible books,” Izzy completed for him, striding over. “Are you lecturing again?” 
“We were having a very nice conversation,” Charlie said tartly, eyes bright. When Izzy leaned down to kiss him, Charlie slid hands around his waist. 
Lucius reached for his water glass. This was probably going to take a few minutes and he was going to watch the show well-hydrated. Sure enough, Izzy practically climbed into Charlie’s lap and the kiss went filthy. Izzy’s shirt was shoved upward, Charlie’s busy hands sliding upwards until Izzy made a deep grunt and pulled very slowly away. 
“Demon,” Izzy said, then dusted a kiss over Charlie’s cheek and another on the tip of his nose. 
Then he turned to take in Lucius. Lucius gave him a little finger-wave with a shit-eating grin because being obnoxious wasn’t a hobby, but a way of life. Izzy lifted his eyebrows and then he was on Lucius, kissing him with the same intensity. It was a bit of a shock, usually Charlie and Izzy needed a few minutes to bring each other to a boil before they turned that heat on Lucius. Like they were tempering chocolate or something. 
“Hi,” Lucius said a little breathless as Izzy pulled back. Izzy’s dark eyes bore into him, and Lucius held eye contact as long as he wanted it. It did something fuzzy to his brain. 
“Angel,” Izzy said softly, then pushed up and off the couch. Lucius’ heart stuttered treacherously in his chest. 
“I suppose everything’s relative,” he managed to volley back. “I can only be angelic in comparison to a real hellion.” 
“Fuck off,” Charlie laughed. Izzy didn’t so much as crack a smile. He just kissed Lucius again, then reached back to rub over Charlie’s head affectionately before disappearing into the bathroom. 
“Shit,” Lucius sank back against the couch, almost spilling his water all over himself. 
“I know, right?”
Generally, Lucius retreated to the guest room when the festivities were over. This was for both practical (the bed wasn’t really big enough for three) and mental health (time to rebuild boundaries, remember what was what, and text Pete a little) reasons. It was also not something Charlie or Izzy ever tried to re-negotiate. They tended to circle the wagons a bit afterward, collapsing back into their bubble of two. 
Tonight, Lucius definitely had to shower before bed. He was slightly tacky to the touch which was gross and thrilling. He sluiced himself off thoroughly, using Charlie’s ludicrously expensive soap that came in a glass bottle and smelled like a rich hot guy. It probably had a real scent profile, but that’s all it made Lucius think of. Sometimes when he got home, Pete would rub himself over Lucius like a cat and Lucius didn't fucking blame him, he smelled amazing.
Izzy used cheap shit, apparently undeterred by Charlie’s better taste. 
When Lucius got out of the shower, Izzy was brushing his teeth, still stripped down and his hair a wreck. One of them had left deep scratches on his back, a few dots of dried blood scattered in them.
“You should put some neosporin on those,” Lucius grabbed a towel. 
“Mm,” Izzy went on brushing, opened a drawer, found the tube and tossed it at Lucius, who miraculously caught it. 
“Demanding,” Lucius snorted, but he threw the towel over his shoulder and started dabbing at the rawer spots. 
Spitting into the basin, Izzy caught his gaze in the mirror. Lucius gave him a wink and a turned the last dab into a slight caress before taking a step back. Izzy turned to face him, leaning against the sink. 
Naked and unabashed, Izzy didn’t look any younger. There was gray in his pubic hair and his body had clearly weathered more storms. But his strength was more obvious too, the places where he wouldn’t bend or break if you pushed at him. It was all very attractive, even when not counterbalanced by Charlie’s ridiculous swimmer’s build and glowing vitality. 
“I made you uncomfortable. Earlier.” 
“When?” Lucius yanked his gaze back to Izzy’s face. 
“When I called you angel.” 
"Uncomfortable?” Lucius considered. “It surprised me. But it’s good. I liked it.” 
“Good,” Izzy pushed off the counter, got into Lucius' space, but didn’t press any closer. “You are. Angel of our better natures.” 
“I-”
Izzy pulled him down, kissed him thoroughly then turned on his heel and left. 
Damn the man. 
The name, obviously, stuck after that. Izzy called him ‘angel’ more often than his name. So it was probably inevitable that one day Charlie would be on the phone with him, 
“What about the 12th?” he asked. 
“Mmm, maybe, but the 18th would be better, “ Lucius had his calendar open. “I would have the whole day free.”  
“The 18th....yeah, we can do that. Should I bring the whole costume, you think?” 
“Why not? It’ll take up, what? A square inch of your bag?” Lucius grinned. 
“Hey, there’s a hat,” Charlie mock pouted at him. 
“How could I forget? It really makes the non-existent piece.” 
“I- ah crap.  I have to run. Talk to you before then?” 
“Probably,” Lucius switched tabs, pulling back up the spreadsheet he’d been working on before the call. “Text at least.” 
“Okay, angel,” Charlie said lightly. “Talk then.” 
And the call ended. Lucius stared blankly at numbers for a solid minute. 
Lucius: You really are a demon. 
Charlie: Israel never lies. The devil never has to.

Songs of Fate: What Did We Dream Of?
by whoiscroutons
When you started getting the dreams, you were horrified.
You knew it would come, you knew this would happen. But still. You were too busy for all of this! What with your new album coming out soon, you couldn't be focusing on silly dreams about some random blonde guy. Your friends said to think about it, even to freaking DAYDREAM about it. But you had. No. Time. Being the leader of the world's number one idol girl group was no piece of cake.
But...
You couldn't help but be intrigued.
--Watch as Y/n and her friends navigate the ups and downs of music, love, pain, and friendship! Will they make it through the ordeals, or will everything fall apart?--

Chapter 49: Childhood Friends Part 1
Cooro and the gang are shoveling dirt for money, Cooro singing about how he's gonna get paid.
Tumblr media
Cooro, Husky and Senri are paid for the week and Nana joins them after babysitting the foreman's daughter. She didn't get paid much but she got cookies and bread! Nana thinks to herself that from now on...hm...that's the thing: what now? Will they keep traveling together? Grow up together? She thinks her friends are hot but she also wants to marry into a rich family (The Classic Dilemma). Marrying Husky will be marrying rich...but screw shipping, there's a flier for the 1st Yellow Valley Race. And it's Anima only!
So, as you have probably guessed, the race is a scheme to scout out low-rank retainers for Asteria's Anima division or something. Basically, they need messengers. One guy in the army goes "Wow, Anima sure are more accepted these days" only for another guy to correct him: if Anima figure out how powerful they are, they'll lord over others with their obvious superiority. So they need to get them under control first. Another guy points out it's the research facility that deals with Anima, specifically Research Facility Eight. He then begins to talk about the head of Facility Eight...who shows up right behind him. It's Fly!
Tumblr media
At Yellow Valley, the group marvels at all the Anima they see around them. So the Yellow Valley Race has two categories: The Air Race and the Land Race. You have to visit three checkpoints on your way to the finish line. Nana, looking at the map, says it'll take two days to go to the finish line, Husky saying that they'll probably testing stamina and nighttime activity. When Cooro questions the "testing" part, Husky says the fine print details that Astaria is looking to hire Anima based on their scores. You get a job, you get rights. That's why there are so many Anima.
So some Seifer-looking tool with wings shows up to taunt the group, saying they're going to lose and he's going to win so fuck manners. He's The Great Jesso and you're not.
Tumblr media
That's 10,000 gillah prize is as good as his so give up now and save everyone the embarrassment in watching you fail. Cooro is still going to enter anyway: the race is free to enter and even if you lose, you get a prize just for participating. Senri is taking part in the ground race. Nana and Husky are sitting out so it's on with the race including the mysterious shadowy figure watching them on a roof!
Tumblr media
Whoever the hell this is.
The group spots her quickly and Cooro seems to recognize her as a girl named Lyra. He runs up to greet her and she says hi...and sprouts wings, saying she won't lose to him before flying off. She's a swallow Anima and Cooro says he knows her from the church he grew up in. But he's a bit surprised because she wasn't an Anima while he knew her. So that means the Trauma happened. We cut over to Lyra who is just as shocked to see Cooro only to steel herself by saying she won't lose to him no matter what.
Tumblr media
The race begins and the contestants are off! Cooro analyzes his chances, acknowledging that there are fifteen contestants other than him and that they're all bigger than him. He sees Lyra and wishes her luck in the race...only for her to fly off, ignoring him. Poor Cooro thinks she hates him...
Meanwhile, in the land race, Husky and Nana (mostly Nana) cheer on Senri. When the ground racers run off, Nana asks about Lyra. She wants to talk to her later about how Cooro was when he was little. Husky has to tell her for what has to be the umpeenth time that she needs to mind her own damn business in these matters. If Cooro wanted them to know about his past, he would tell them. Everyone has shit they don't need others prying into. He adds that if it weren't for extenuating circumstances, he wouldn't have talked about himself either. Nana counters that Cooro's mysterious, and that he's different from other Anima. Husky thinks he's different alright...in that he accepts himself and his Anima identity. That's something that's always confused him...
Back to the Air Race. Cooro is coming up to the first checkpoint. He then sees Jesso attacking another contestant with a goddamn knife, ultimately stabbing him out of the air.
Tumblr media
Jesso states out loud to himself with no one around to hear that when you have someone on your level, you take them out first. That's what his big brother taught him. Then he spots Lyra...
Tumblr media
Cooro swoops down to help the person who was stabbed, who tells him that his wing was slashed. He can't fly in that condition. He then tells him to beware Jesso, the Hawk Anima.
The chapter ends with Jesso creeping in on Lyra, who has just made the first checkpoint...
Tumblr media
ANIMA RATING:
Swallow Anima: You can fly. Cool. 7/10
Hawk Anima: I don't usually do this but I infer you also have talons. Cooler. 8/10
