Cw: CW: Minors DNI, (18+ ONLY), Female Reader, legal age gap (Reader- 20's, William - 30's), divorce/processing divorce, Afton being a sarcastic hot ass, Henry being such a dad, grumpy x sunshine . Faz-Fuck TM. Threats of Violence

The alarm that morning had seemed all too bitter-sweet, groaning as you rolled over and turned it off, rubbing at your face and blearily staring at the alarm-clock with distain. Last night had been wonderful, aside from dealing with the ex-Mrs-Afton, but you only blearily remembered giving William a goodnight kiss as he dropped you off home. You'd managed to find a vase for the beautiful sunflowers that he'd brought you, and you glanced to one side, spotting their sunny yellow petals as they sat by your bedside.

Waking up felt like it took ages, and before you knew it, you were cycling into work for another day filled with family fun at Freddy's. Vaguely aware that you wouldn't see William until later in the day because he still had to drop Vanessa off at school. His hoodie was neatly folded into your bag at your side, bumping your hip as you moved, either wanting to give it back to him or hope that you could keep it for a few days more. It smelt like his cologne and that faint engine oil smell that always seemed to be around him when he'd been at work in parts and services all day, and you just wanted to wrap yourself up in it and go to sleep.

Heading inside, you found yourself humming as you worked to open. Hanging your bag in your little cubicle locker and making sure that you tried to keep your mind off of William Afton. Though you found yourself smiling randomly into air and your stomach filling with butterflies as you thought of him, and how you were looking forwards to seeing him again today.

The front door opened whilst you were behind the prize counter and you naturally tuned your head to see who it was. Spotting the tall, broad figure of William easily just as he spotted you, both of you glancing around before he came up to you and gave you the ghost of a kiss on your head, smiling broadly as he then maintained a professional distance, making you want to pout and whine that he hadn't given you a real kiss.

"Good morning, bunny." He smiled, speaking softly in case any body might be nearby or suddenly wander in. You smiled back, your heart hammering in your chest so hard you were sure that it would burst your ribs.

"Good morning William." You whisper back, eyes meeting his grey ones as you watch the little lines appear in the corners, how you knew he was really smiling. Hearing a little plastic clink on the counter, you looked down, seeing his hand moving off of a purple and yellow bracelet with a little bunny charm attached to it. Your stomach dropped for a moment before you realised you saw the one still on his wrist, making your brows furrow in confusion.

"Vanessa decided to tell me something interesting this morning, she told me that you like me and you hope you're my girlfriend." His eyes sparkled with mirth as he raised an eyebrow, making you blush and look down guiltily as your feet scuffed on the carpeted floor.

"Well, she asked and I-I didn't know if you wanted to tell her yourself. Or...Whether you classified us as that yet." Speaking shyly, his fingers brushed yours and forced you to look up, watching his expression soften as his smile widened even more

"Well, she approves of us. Told me 'Dad you have to give your girlfriend gifts!', she was acting all dramatic that you'd given me a bracelet so I was under intense supervision this morning to make you a matching one." He explained, and you couldn't help but giggle at the image of the tiny blonde standing over William on a bedroom floor, crafts everywhere as his kid tried to explain how he should treat his girlfriend.

Carefully picking it up, you slipped it onto the opposite wrist as his, fingers stroking over the beads and the charm as you grinned at him. Checking around quickly before you leaned in and quickly kissed his lips, leaving him humming approvingly as he looked at you, smiling as he tapped your wrist lightly with one rough finger.

"You look very cute wearing that, and now we match."

"Well thank you, I'll treasure it with all my heart."

"Same here sweetheart, same here." Winking at you before he headed back into the offices and left you to the rest of your opening duties. Increasingly glad that nobody was there to see the heat practically coming off of your cheeks, or the colour they had turned whilst talking to Afton.

You heard your name being called excitedly, turning and seeing Henry Emily waving at you from slightly down the hall as he exited his office. Waving back politely, you waited for him to catch up to you, the man smiling gratefully.

"Hey, sorry to keep you since I know it's the end of the day and all that, but I just wanted to catch up with you. How're you doing?"

"I'm good Mr. Emily, and no need to apologise, you're giving me a break before I have to bike home." You laughed, Henry laughing with you as he rubbed the back of his neck, his smile turning sheepish as his brow furrowed.

"Well, I'm shocked at the price of cars these days, so I don't blame you for not having one. Guess I forgot what it's like to work for just above minimum wage." Chuckling nervously, he looked at you and his expression softened, his smile coming back properly as he crossed his arms in a way that reminded you of a dad watching their kid's sport event from the side-lines. "Sooo... I've noticed you've been smiling a lot more today. Did you go on a date or something last night?"

Your heart pounded in your chest as he asked, wondering if he knew about you and William before throwing the thought to one side. Both of you had been so careful with keeping it secret, you weren't sure how he could have known, but you felt bad lying to somebody who'd been so kind to you.

"Y-Yeah, actually. We went to the movies together." You laughed nervously, looking down as you heard Henry's hands clap together excitedly, startling you slightly as you wondered what had him so happy about hearing it.

"Oh that's so cute? Was it a first date? Did you share popcorn? Sorry, I'm just excited, you're a lovely young lady and after everything you've done to help us out, you're kinda like a daughter to me." He explained, making you melt slightly at the thought of him trying to treat his employees like his children, excited about their achievements and their lives as they progressed.

"Um.. yeah, it was a first date for us, and we did share popcorn. It's really nice you're so excited Mr. Emily, I'm sure my dad would have turned around and threatened immediate violence if he had found out I'd been on a date without knowing who I was going with." You chuckled, Henry's expression surprised before he hummed and nodded slowly.

"I can see that, I'd probably be the same for my daughter actually. maybe get William to stand there and threaten the violence for me, I'm not much of a fighter." He held his hands up as in guilt, making you laugh at the action, imagining William standing behind Henry like a mafia boss in some cheesy film as Henry 'interviewed' people coming to take his daughter on dates. His hand quickly snatched up yours and you blinked slightly as he clasped it between his hands in a fatherly way, his hands wrapped around your singular one. "Oh I'm so happy for you! You know I always have been a bit of a romantic, I love seeing people so happy! And especially when it's young lo-"

He paused as he felt something gently bump against his wrist, pulling back and looking at your hand curiously. Henry's eyes widened as he noticed a yellow and purple bunny bracelet almost exactly like William's on your wrist, his grip tightening for a moment as his expression fell. Brow furrowing and looking at your wrist intently, it took a moment for you to register what he was looking at. Your own eyes widening as you carefully prized your hand out of his grip, anxiously covering it with your other hand.

"Oh really? I-I'd love to hear how your family is getting on Mr. Emily, you don't want to hear anymore about my-" unable to finish as he began to quickly walk down the corridor, making you follow after him as you realised he wasn't heading for the doors, but rather the back path through towards parts and services. "Sir? Mr. Emily?" you called after him, struggling to keep up with the taller man power walking.

'How does he walk so damn fast? He's in a suit for god's sake!' You thought to yourself, slightly breathless as he continued to walk at speed, almost picking it up the closer he got to parts and services.

"Mr. Emily? Henry!" You called after him, slightly uselessly as he appeared to be a man on a mission.

You heard the door slamming open before you turned the corner, then an angry raised voice. Bursting into the small room shortly after Henry, you watched him grabbing William by the collar of his shirt that he seemed to have only just put back on after finishing work for the day. Henry's knuckles white as he had dragged William up from the seat he'd been in, William's hands on Henry's wrists and eyes wide in shock as he struggled with the position Henry held him in.

"WHY WILLIAM? How could you fucking do this? Why? ANSWER ME!" Henry yelled, getting in William's face as William's eyes flickered over to you, his face filling with realisation and a little sadness as he kept ahold of his long-time friend.

"Henry I...I can't help it, you know? I just fell for her, and I'm sorry. I'll resign from the company, leave it all to you, but I'm not going to-"

"Why would you leave the company you stupid bastard? I'm angry because why the fuck didn't you tell me? I've been your friend for twenty years and more, and you couldn't even tell me you'd started going on dates?" Henry's eyes watered, making you pause and you could see the confusion on William's face too as you watched the other fully grown man in the room struggle not to break into tears.

"What?"

"I'm your best friend William! Why didn't you feel you could tell me you were dating somebody? I don't give a shit that it's an employee, this is the happiest I have seen you in years!" Henry said, voice still loud and emotional as he helped pull William up and clasped his arms. William's expression moved from confused to suddenly realising what was going on as he sighed, looking over to your still panic stricken face and giving a reassuring smile and a slight eye-roll.

"I'm sorry Henry, I thought you'd be mad at me or at her, and I couldn't... not after all the heartache before." He said softly, gravelly voice soft and reassuring as Henry nearly cried. Bringing his friend in and hugging him, William giving him an equally affectionate hug and sighing. "What am I going to do with you man? You're crying because I went on a date and have a girlfriend now?" He teased him, making Henry step back and punch him in the chest lightly, the other man laughing slightly.

"It's too cute, you have matching bracelets and everything. At least I didn't miss you guys having your first kiss together, you know I'm a sap for that kind of thing." He laughed, wiping at his face and looking between the pair of you as you and William exchanged a slightly guilty look. Making Henry freeze up again, looking between the pair of you incredulously. "YOU'VE HAD YOUR FIRST KISS?!"

"Uh, yeah like...a week ago?" You offered, realising it was entirely the wrong thing to say as Henry came storming over to you, gripping you by the shoulders, shaking you slightly as he spoke.

"Tell me everything! I can't believe you guys held out on me!! Have you been dating his entire time?"

"Henry we've even been having lunch together that entire time."

"Shared lunches?!"

"They were home-made too."

"I swear to GOD William, I'm going to fucking kill you for holding this back from me! Me, your best friend!! I found out from a damn matching bracelet!" Henry let you go and went back over to William, getting animated as he demanded details of what hadn't been shared with him. William giving him a deadpan look as he rubbed his hand over his face and through his hair, his gold framed aviators being adjusted in the process, arms crossing over as he took on Henry's barrage of questions.

You smiled at the scene, feeling like a weight had been lifted from your shoulders as you looked at the long-time friends not-quite argue. Your fingers playing with the bracelet on your wrist as you felt like you had made the right choice in following your heart in deciding to date William Afton.

This is a dark!fic and explicit. 18+ only. Your media consumption is your own responsibility. Warnings have been given. DO NOT PROCEED if these matters upset you.

Summary: Your next door neighbours hook up, bringing to surface deep-seated feelings.

Characters: Colin Shea, Jonathan Pine

Note: And we're back!

As per usual, I humbly request your thoughts! Reblogs are always appreciated and welcomed, not only do I see them easier but it lets other people see my work. I will do my best to answer all I can. I’m trying to get better at keeping up so thanks everyone for staying with me <3

Your feedback will help in this and future works (and WiPs, I haven’t forgotten those!)

Love you like my dog loves belly rubs (that’s a lot). Take care. 💖

You roll your chair back to your desk and sit, shoulders hunched and head down, focused on your screen. You're too embarrassed to discern any of the cells on numbers inside. Your cheeks and nape are alight with self-awareness.

"That was entertaining," Shari remarks as the wheels of her chair squeak.

"Don't…" you mutter as you click aimlessly.

You can't believe what's just happened. You're humiliated. That must be Colin's goal. To tear you down not just in your own home but every part of your life.

You hear whispers, lowered voices, and clearing throats. Your ears prick as you're certain that they're all talking about you, about the dramatic scene that just unfolded. And how could they not, it's always more enjoyable to be in the audience than the show.

Your teams bings with a new message. You tap the key to mute your PC and open the chat window. You nibble your cheek as you read Jonathan's message.

"We will discuss shortly. Take five if you need."

Shit, shit. This is it. You're going to be fired. You know it. Why wouldn't you be? You've brought your chaos to work with you.

You minimize the window without responding and go back to your mortifying trance. You sit and stare at the blur of lines, only realising as a tears breaks free that you're about to fall apart completely. What did you do to deserve this?

Not just Colin, but Jonathan. You're too nice for your own good. From now on, you should just commit yourself to a recluse lifestyle.

Another message pops up, the red dot taunting you to open your teams. But it isn't what you expect. It's a new conversation, from the district officer. Oh, oh god.

You muster what little courage your possess and click the chat. You read the message slow, several time over to make it register. You're in trouble, a lot of trouble.

'I have been informed of today's events and have spoken with Mr. Pine. I expect you to find a quiet place for our call in fifteen minutes.'

You lean back, dizzy and breathless. Your chest is so tight you fear you might be going into arrest. Oh, shit!

"You okay?" Shari looks over from her cubicle.

You gulp and let out a gurgly 'mhmm.' You grab your phone and shove yourself out of the rolling chair. You scurry away without explanation and clumsily find your way to the employee bathroom, checking the stalls before locking the door.

You set your phone on the counter. If you'd just ignored it, none of this would've happened. It's your fault. All of it. You need to learn to read boundaries but set them too. You lost sight of them with Colin and didn't have enough with Jonathan.

Your phone lights up. Jonathan. Of course, he'll want to speak. Does he know about your meeting? You'll wait until you know if you still have a job to speak with him.

You look at yourself in the mirror and try to shake off your nerves. That pit in your gut tells you exactly how this is going to go. Well, you can at least be brave and face the end.

You swipe away the notifications without reading them. You sign into your work account on Teams and let yourself out of the bathroom. Lucy scowls just outside and you give her a sheepish look before fleeing.

You find an empty conference room along the next corridor and check the schedule hung beside the door. You jot in your name and let yourself in. You hunker down at the desk, gathering the last of your wits. This day just doesn't want to end.

If you had just kept it all inside, if you had just got over it, if you had avoided your overly interested boss, you could be going home in an hour with nothing more than a pan of frozen lasagna on your mind. That's not how it goes. As always, it must end in disaster. Just like that boy you thought you loved in high school, the one who never saw you against the wall, not until he wanted a laugh.

You take a breath and prop up your phone against a pen cup. You stare at the time, waiting as the meeting invite hovers before you. You tap it a few minutes before it's scheduled and sit in the waiting room. Dread rises to suffocate you, taking the air out of you as you prepare for the worst. You've always been good at that, you've come to expect it.

Tina Cazera, the District Officer, appears in her flawless contour on the other end of the call. You sit up and try not to let your doom burn through. You can't even smile, you're like a guilty dog, wagging its tail meekly in the corner. Two other squares appear on the screen as more members join the chat. You refuse to look at the bottom frame where Jonathan sits before the backdrop of his office.

"Alright," Tina begins, "I have invited Jeff, our HR representative to attend today to supervise this discussion. He will be documenting this meeting to make sure that we meet all policies and standards."

You nod and Jonathan grumbles his reluctant consent. You thought he'd already be talked to. You clutch your hands together tightly in your lap and push your shoulders back.

"So, I've spoken with Mr. Pine about today's episode but I think it's only fair to get everyone's story, and it would be required for the incident report," she explains, "so, you have the floor, miss, please explain what occurred today in the office."

You swallow and part your lips. How do you explain this without it all seeming insane? You close your eyes and concentrate, flicking your lashes up as you focus on the margin of the chat.

"I was working at my desk..." your mouth is dry, painfully so, "and my neighbour arrived and had an outburst. I understand that it was inappropriate but I didn't invite him there or even encourage him. I can't explain why he showed up but when he did, he said some things and Mr. Pine arrived and they... er... they got into it."

"Alright, let's go back, what were these things your neighbour, the trespasser, said?" Tina prompts.

"He... He just suggested that I... have an inappropriate relationship with Mr. Pine, but I... I don't. I didn't do anything--"

"He's been harassing the woman," Jonathan adds.

"Mr. Pine, you've had your say," Tina dismisses, "why would these accusations be made?"

You shrug. What can you say that won't immediately put you in it? You stayed over at Jonathan's and then he stayed at yours. Nothing happened but who would believe that? Especially when people like Shari could interpret your friendliness as more.

"I don't know. Like Mr. Pine says, my neighbour has been... bothering me and--"

"And how would Mr. Pine know that?"

"Well, I mentioned it," your lip trembles through your lies. Not exactly false, but some information withheld.

"You mentioned it amid what, a budget meeting?" She challenges and clears her throat. "We've evaluated this situation and we're already dealing with enough fallout from your previous boss' mistakes and in our review. We cannot afford another controversy."

You squeeze your hands, digging your nails into your nails. You frown and stare at your pathetic expression in the frame. You suck your lip in and shake your head.

"So, we've assessed the risk and the cost of this...unfortunate occurrence. We cannot afford to lose Mr. Pine. He has shown himself an asset to this company and has the credentials that would warrant only a slap on the wrist. But as you welcomed this into the workplace and have continually crossed professional lines, we would ask that you take a leave until we the ethics board can thoroughly evaluate."

"Leave?"

"Unpaid," she affirms, "effective immediately."

"What?" Jonathan hisses, "this wasn't her. It was that man--"

"Mr. Pine, please, you would only dig the hole deeper," Tina warns, "we recommend you clock out and go home, miss."

You're speechless. You expected it and yet it's still a punch in the gut. You can only nod and eke out, "yes, ma'am."

You dare to look at Jonathan, his forehead ripples with discontent as his lips thin. The call ends just as his eyes seem to meet yours and you're left in deafening silence. What are you going to do now?

💗

You wait until you're certain everyone else is gone. You can't bear to face them or your shame. You can just imagine Shari smirking at you.

When you do emerge, it's an hour after your usual time out. You creep over to your desk and sign out. You pack up your bag and keep your phone in your pocket. You've had enough trouble.

"Ah, there you are," Jonathan's timbre halts you as you head for the door. You pause and blow a deep breath out before you face him, "I was waiting to make sure you had a way home–"

"Yep, the bus," you cross your arms.

His brow arches and his lips twitch, "now, you know you shouldn't–"

"I shouldn't have let you help me so much. I should've taken care of myself and now, now I don't have a job-"

"It is only a leave," he counters.

"Easy for you to say. What am I gonna do without a pay cheque?" You stop and pinch the bridge of your nose, "don't answer that. Just like everything else, it's not your problem."

"Darling, I did try to plead your case. I assured them it was not anything you asked for," he strides past the other cubicles. You back away and adjust your bag, "you can't be mad at me, I can help–"

"You've helped enough," you throw your hands up, "I don't need it. Okay? I'm not as pathetic as you think I am."

"I never– I don't think that," he sputters, "surely, you must realise I think more of you than that."

"I don't know. I don't. I just need to be alone," you spin and storm towards the elevator.

"Wait, but what about Colin–"

"I'll deal," you swallow, stomach flipping as you recall the pictures he sent of your trashed apartment, "I am none of your concern."

"I am very concerned," he follows you.

You push the button to call the elevator and he turns, stretching his arm across the metal doors, blocking you. You huff and look away. You cluck then turn to stomp towards the stairs.

"He will be waiting for you–"

"And?" You hurl over your shoulder, "maybe he's what I deserve."

"You cannot–"

"You are not my boss anymore," you twist around to face him once again, "got it? I quit. I've caused enough problems. It's over. Just leave it."

He flinches, hurt painted across his features. You sniff and back away, pivoting slowly to push through the door to the stairs. He calls your name but you don't react, grabbing onto the railing and hurtling down the stairs

You don't need these men. They just bring problems. You're better off alone. You should've realised that earlier.

💗

Another nasty surprise greets you at your front door. To your relief, it's still on its hinges with some scratches around the handle from Colin's intrusion but intact. Across the wood is carved a single word; slut. You sigh and quickly hide yourself inside.

You realise only too late that you don't know if he's inside. The eerie silence of the building piques your suspicions. You keep a hold of your keys and flip on the light.

The place is tossed upside down. You can barely take a step without meeting a broken shard of glass or a torn page. Dishes, books, and other possessions litter the floor.

You make your way warily across the front room. This is what you're left with. No job, no friends, and soon, you won't even have this dump.

You grab the broom and continue up the hallway to your room. Nothing there or in the bathroom. No monster lurking under the bed or in the closet.

That can't be it. He ran into your work and made a scene, fought your boss. You know that's not it.

You go back into the front room and check the lock. It still works. That doesn't make you feel much better. If he got in once, he could get in again.

You're startled by a sudden banging on the other side of the door. Your heart hammers along with it and you peer through the peephole. Ally snarls back at you.

You center yourself as best you can and slide the chain into place before you open the door. Ally pushes from the other side as you keep your toe against the bottom. You don't even know where to start.

"Are you fucking happy?!" She hollers, "he's gone!"

"Wh-what?" You stammer.

"They fucking arrested him you fucking loser."

"I don't know–"

"I should drag you! He's spending the night in jail because you just had to get him worked up," she hits the door with her fist.

"Wha–" you blink in exasperation. "He– he did it. I didn't call the police. I don't even–"

"Whatever. You're full of excuses. You've always been so fucking lame," she blows a raspberry at you, "if I see you, don't say hi."

She kicks the door and yelps. She rolls her eyes and sneers, marching away with a limp and disappearing into her own apartment. You shake your head, confused but reassured that Colin's locked up. At least that's what it sounds like.

You close the door and twist the latch. You slide your phone from your pocket and search for a playlist. You'll be up cleaning all night. It should keep you from acknowledging the missed calls from Jonathan.

For the people that thought that Pomni was a nutcracker:

This, is a Nutcracker

According to German folklore, nutcrackers we given as keepsakes to bring luck to the family and protect the home. It is said that they represent strength and power and watches over the family keeping evil spirits and danger away.

They originate from ancestral dining customs where unusual, novelty nutcrackers were part of dining entertainment during the dessert course. It would generate fun conversation whilst tucking into their final course which could include pecans and hazelnuts.

Many of the early designs of nutcrackers were of birds, animals and people. It wasn’t until the 1600’s and 1700’s that they took the shape of kings and soldiers that we are familiar with today!

Nutcrackers were mainly popular in Germany to begin with, and were crafted in the Erzgebirge mountain regions.

It wasn’t until the 1800’s that this tradition was known worldwide from the release of the Tchaikovsky ballet ‘The Nutcracker Suite’ in 1892.

Many of us will have heard of this ballet and may treat ourselves to a trip to the theatre to see it over Christmas. The story of this production first came from the novel ‘The Nutcracker and the king of Mice’ by E.T. Amadeus Hoffman in the late 1700’s/early 1800’s, and is probably where we recognise the Christmas nutcracker from the most. The ballet was debuted in 1892 in St. Petersburg and is an ever popular festive treat for young and old worldwide due to its Christmassy theme.

From this point on, the ballet and German nutcracker figure have become well known around the world, and fans have demanded high quality German nutcrackers ever since. This therefore was where the nutcracker gained its popularity every Christmas time!

This, is ventriloquist doll

Ventriloquism is an act of stagecraft in which a person (a ventriloquist) speaks in such a way that it looks like their voice is coming from a different location, usually through a puppet known as a "dummy".

Ventriloquism got its start as a religious practice amongst the Ancient Greeks and Romans. The name, in fact, comes from the Latin words for “to speak from the stomach." The Greek phrase for ventriloquism was gastromancy. Ancient peoples thought that noises produced by the stomach were the voices of the dead, which could be interpreted by the ventriloquist.

During the 18th century, ventriloquism became less spiritual and more of a performance art. It gained popularity as an act at traveling fairs. The earliest records related to ventriloquism date back to 1753 in England. The father of modern ventriloquism is considered to be Fred Russell, who began a stage show in London in 1886 and developed the now-familiar technique of using a doll to engage in back-and-forth conversation.

Edgar Bergen popularized a new form of comedic ventriloquism in the 1930s with his favorite dummy, Charlie McCarthy. Over the years, there have been many famous entertainers associated with ventriloquism, including Jeff Dunham and Shari Lewis.

If you've ever tried to “throw" your voice to imitate a ventriloquist, you know it's not the easiest technique to learn. Most ventriloquists perform with their lips slightly separated to allow sounds to emanate from their mouths without moving their lips. This is easy for some sounds and more difficult for others.

For example, the sounds of the letters f, v, b, p, w, and m can be particularly difficult, because they involve the lips meeting to help form the sounds. Professional ventriloquists learn to make these sounds by replacing them with other, similar sounds and speaking quickly enough for listeners not to notice.

Fortunately for ventriloquists, the human ear is not great at locating the source of a sound without visual or other cues. Therefore, if a ventriloquist can keep from moving his lips, it's very easy to fool the human ear into believing the sound is coming from the moving mouth of the ventriloquist's dummy!

There's more to ventriloquism than simply not moving your lips, though. You also have to learn to change your voice so that it sounds different than your normal voice. Doing so allows you to have a conversation with your dummy. Professional ventriloquists develop many different personalities for different dummies, and each one requires a unique voice and way of speaking.

https://wonderopolis.org/wonder/what-is-a-ventriloquist#:~:text=Ventriloquism%20got%20its%20start%20as,phrase%20for%20ventriloquism%20was%20gastromancy.

There you have it folks! If you have more questions, you're free to go to my blog and ask away! ^^

It's midnight and I can't sleep because i have yet again thoughts to share. I just came to think of something unsettling and it's bothering me so much that I just couldn't continue with my life without shari g this with anyone.

I'm German. So when it comes to things that are somehow connected to germany, I’ll know it. And I'll be like "Oh, yeah I know that too, that's funny".

Example: when Wednesday started speaking German (sort of).

I also watch and read blue lock. So when this mf came up:

Micheal fucking Kaiser who speaks german just like we can see in this panel ("auf die Knie"/eng: kneel), I was like oh, yeah makes sense he's playing for one of the most popular and successful football Clubs of Germany. Hell, members of my family are huge Bayern München fans (that's the original name btw, not bastard munchen). So naturally he speaks german. His name is so painfully German too, my old teacher's name was Misses Kaiser so yeah. The only thing more German than this is if his name was Müller.💀

But that's not what this is about.

This is not about the fact that he is German.

This is about the fact that he is from fucking Munich and it just hit me recently when I thought back to my own visit there while going through my pictures. It's beautiful there, really. A regular big city in Germany. Whatever.

WHAT IM TRYING TO SAY IS THAT THEY HAVE A DIALECT!

Just like people from Texas have an accent, people from Munich, the very place the bastard munchen players come from, have an ACCENT. Of course not everyone and all that but still. THIS ACCENT EXISTS AND I FORGOT ABOUT IT AND NOW I CANT STOP THINKING ABOUT IT.

Because NOW THAT BLUE LOCK SEASON 2 IS ANNOUNCED IM SCARED THAT THEY WILL GIVE KAISER THE MOST DISTURBING BAVARIAN (bayrisch) DIALECT BECAUSE I THINK THIS ACCENT IS SO SILLY.

(no hate to those who have it, it's totally normal. I just dont understand yall😃 I feel like this)

BECAUSE CAN YOU IMAGINE THIS GUY PICKING A FIGHT ISAGI WITH A SILLY DIALECT?

I CAN'T.

For those who cant imagine the impact of this dialect I found a good video to show the difference between standard German and Bavaria dialect. The girl in the white speaks with dialect Btw.

Part 1 || Part 2

#blue lock #micheal kaiser #Micheal Kaiser is from munich #If micheal Kaiser has a bavarian accent im gonna cry #Because not even me as a German person will understand them #Flashback to episode 23 with the english accents💀#bllk #micheal kaiser x reader #bastard munchen #blue lock spoilers #Kaiser is the most bougie rich Bavarian guy I can imagine

His Goofy Girl

Summary: You have an entertaining reaction to the anesthesia used for your wisdom tooth extraction, much to Rooster ‘s amusement and embarrassment.

Pairing: Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw x F!Reader

Word Count: 630

Rating: 18+ only. Fluff, humor and one sexual comment.

A/N: Based on this request from @loquacious-shari. It's silly and goofy but made me laugh because I am currently sick.

It’s mostly deserted in the waiting room of the dentist office, just him and an elderly man who looks half asleep in his chair. Rooster jiggles his leg and absently scrolls on his phone to kill time, waiting for you to be done with your wisdom tooth extraction. It takes a full hour before the office door opens and he looks up to see the gray-haired nurse who checked you in earlier.

"Lieutenant Bradshaw,” she greets with a kind smile. “The doctor is about to finish up if you want to come back.”

"Thank you, ma'am.”

He follows her back to the exam room where you're currently snoozing in the chair. You look the most relaxed he’s ever seen you despite the fact your cheeks are packed with enough gauze that you resemble a chipmunk. If Rooster didn't think you'd kill him for it, he'd snap a photo of you right now.

"Hun, your boyfriend is here," the nurse says, gently shaking your shoulder.

You blink, nose scrunching adorably as you look around, confused.

"Hey, baby," Rooster says softly.

You turn towards the sound of his voice but stare at him blankly. Then your eyes narrow suspiciously before finally shooting open in recognition.

"Rooster!" You exclaim excitedly.

With the gauze in your mouth, his name comes out sounding more like Roofer than anything else. It makes him grins.

"Hey, come here," you lisp, crooking a finger at him. There's an unusually serious look in your eye as you stare him down. You wait to speak until he's bent down to your level. "You're high so you have to tell me the truth. Do you love me?"

Rooster has to fight the urge to laugh, glancing up at the nurse to share an amused look. “Absolutely, I love you the most,” he tells you solemnly.

You sigh and smile happily, turning to look at the nurse beside you. "This is my boyfriend, Roofer," you tell her.

"That's very nice dear," she says, patting your shoulder. "Now, let's get you to the car and on the way home. I'm sure your couch will be much more comfortable than this chair."

“Couch,” you whisper to yourself happily and this time Rooster does laugh.

You hum or try to at least, grinning up at him with a dopey look when he helps you stand. He loops your arm over his shoulder and the nurse walks on your other side, keeping you steady. You lean heavily against him, rubbing your forehead against his chest like a cat. Even though you’re walking you seem to doze off against his chest, waking up again when they try to get you in the front seat of his car.

"Roofer has a really big rock," you announce to the nurse with absolutely zero context or prompting.

A little part of Rooster dies inside as he closes his eyes, processing what the elderly nurse most certainly heard you say.

"Yes, I love rocks, I have a whole collection of them," Rooster replies after a tremendously awkward pause.

"That's lovely , everyone should collect something," the nurse says, giving him the tiniest sliver of his dignity back.

Together they manage to wrestle you into the front seat of his car and buckle you in without further comment. You wave happily at the nurse as Rooster puts the car in gear and backs out. When he gets you home and settled between his legs on the couch you promptly fall asleep, snoring softly and drooling on his chest. He kisses the crown of your head and relaxes into the couch cushions, arm tucked behind his head.

He’ll give you a day before he recounts your interaction with the nurse, already grinning at the thought of how cute and flustered you’re bound to get.

Gunkan Suship Shari Red

Not to be like this right off the bat but this card looks tasty as hell. Yeah, it's just red vinegar rice with some nori being attached to it by cranes(?), but they didn't have to go so hard on the details in the rice. All those consciously placed highlights on the individual rice grains that match up so well with the high powered nighttime (su)shipyard lights, and of course the complimentary shadow definitions too. Speaking of, the nighttime color scheme was such a perfect choice for the reddish oranges of the rice. It just fits so well. This thing is gigantic, and I feel like it's easy to forget that because it's so tasty looking. But in case you do forget, just look to the itty bitty door in the lower right. Yeah, that's right. That door is about the size of a single grain of rice here.

Rating: 10/10, -has already left to throw rice in my rice cooker-

Can I request playing animal crossing with the DrV3 boys 🤧🤧

NDRV3 boys playing Animal Crossing

a/n: I LOVED WRITING THIS OMG

#Kokichi Ouma

named his island equestria…/j. in all honesty it was probably named DICEland

HE LOVES zipper so much its lowkey concerning

probably decorated his house with all the easter furniture JUST to piss people off

ALSO has a love-hate relationship with tom nook cause on one hand, he loves how cheeky nook is but on the other, kokichi is so lazy to farm any bells he couldn’t expand his house after paying debts 😭😭

loves to hit his villagers with his net to make them angry (esp bam, reminds him of kaito….)

lowkey vengeful too??? if there was a loot floating around and he was talking w a villager, he would hit them with his net as ‘payback’

his ac profile pic is him w a flimsy axe behind you… ITS /J PROMISE 😭😭

speaking of you, he LOVES to co-op w you, gonta and maybeeee kirumi. his fav thing is to play hide and seek or tag in the game (he always wins at h&s ☹️)

#Korekiyo Shinguji

named his island the default name (Mytown)

he doesn’t rlly have opinions abt his villagers but he really favors blathers, respects his work ethic and likes to listen to his rambles abt the insects

im only /hj when i say that even his house is a dedication to anthropology… like you could walk in and you’d just say “yep this is kiyo’s house.” he used the imperial set + the fossil plaque and incense burner omg lowkey aesthetic tho

i feel like he didn’t know you could have more villagers so for like 9 months, he just stayed there talking to his two villagers BYEE 😭😭😭

LOVES TO FARM!!! omg i wouldn’t be surprised if he could pay off his debts one after the other (although his fav is to look for the fossils)

he also wouldn’t mind if u needed help farming too he just.. REALLY likes farming

he loves co-op!! only requirement is that you must be beside him so he can also see your screen and see him walking around its so cute 💀💀

#Gonta Gokuhara

named it… the island i did NOT ask a gonta bot how dare you

loves blathers!! when i say love, i mean LOVES blathers. loves to bring him bugs but got sad when he saw blathers disliked them

HE USED THE SANRIO SET!!! his fav part of it is the kerokerokeroppi tray ITS SO CUTE <333

FAVE THING is to catch butterflies and tarantulas tbh wouldn’t be surprised if he filled his inventory w them

OH speaking of bugs, instead of running away from wasps, he tried going towards them and had a meltdown when they stung him…

HIS AVATAR’S FACE IS SO MESSED UP….. he honestly didn’t know that you could heal your face until u saw his avatar omg 😭😭 (kokichi then told him you could die and he started to be more careful ☹️)

omg dont let me get started about co-op + gonta… HE INVITES YOU TO ONLINE DATES AND AND YOU RUN AROUND HIS TOWN 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏

#Shuichi Saihara

named his town clair de lune (bc he was playing at night and he liked the music at night (clair de lune meaning moonlight))

his fav is bam, likes how hes so much like kaito 😭😭. might even challenge him occasionally

also he HATES tom, timmy and tommy ☹️☹️ reminds kokichi 🤬🤬🤬

OFDKDKREJH he loves to interact with villagers and decorating his house (he def has island togetherness and DIY furniture lv. 5)

tbh his house isn’t rlly much to gawk at but it does def look like a stereotypical detective’s office (coffee, corkboard) w just… a bunch of wreaths in every room

doesn’t like co-op??? he prefers to switch nintendos w you and letting him explore your island while you explore his AHHSSJSJ 🙏🙏

^^ STILL DOESNT MIND IT!! would def love to play w you and kaede. omg and when he found out you could emote? “you paid off your debt? that’s great, s/o! *clap emote*”

#Rantaro Amami

HE NAMED IT [insert your ship name]’s island 😭😭🙏🙏

loves shari, thinks its cool how she can make leaf umbrellas!! thinks her ‘cheeky’ catchphrase is rlly neat

DESIGNED HIS HOUSE FISH RELATEDDD (so many aquariums + the fishing boat flag..)

unlike ppl like kokichi or gonta he doesn’t login daily, he logs in on weekends and when u wanna play tbh

in shsl adventurer style, he likes hunting! i wouldnt put it past him to show you all around his museum tbh, ITS SO.. FULL 😧😧😧😧

he also.. BUILT A PARK FOR DATES??? there are so many flowers of your favorite color, it’s placed nearest to the stars— he’s such a romantic… 🙏🙏 (gotta find myself a rantaro…)

#K1-B0

named it World001.. i love being robophobic 🤭🤭

loves the wisp, kokichi was talking abt how knowing they were annoying for being a scaredy poo and kiibo WENT‼️OFF‼️

tbh hes the type of player that never does the main quest, JUST the side quests, id be so angry…

def is the type who gets motivated for a ‘complete’ profile. naww cause he has so much nook miles…

dislikes zipper, thinks hes creepy.. he heard about the thing where you go out of the screen and zipper starts acting normal and it just gave him the heebie jeebies

he *cough* “cries” when he gets mail… ESP THE ONE FROM MOM!! s—shes so kind?? like he was professor idabashi’s experiment so he never received maternal love it’s just so nice 😭💖

#Kaito Momota

named his island space fantasy (after the universal studios jn ride…)

fav is gullivar, likes his pirate get up and the way he speaks

hes the type of player who has to google everything 😭 like at first he tried doing it without a guide but then after the debts, he gave up

i bet his search history is a lil like ‘how to get abs 1 month’ ‘why is it bad to forge your age’ ‘how many years do you go to jail for age fabrication’ ‘animal crossing step by step’ ‘how to get gullivar on my island’ ‘how to challenge bam’(/hj)

def always fights w bam too (fishing, bug hunting, etc) 😭😭 but like its healthy competition so its ok

HATES THE WISP 🤬🤬 he has the wisp quest and is NEVER finishing it (also lowkey reminds him of pre-workout shuichi and yea… 😨😨😨)

LOVES TAKING PICS WITH YOU?!?!?!?! he saved so many photos of him and you looking at the sky, your avatar smiling, and a pic of bam locked in a fence square (don’t ask…)

#Ryoma Hoshi

he he honestly didn’t put much effort into it since he wasn’t interested at all at first (just named it island…)

omg his house is either all or nothing at all; he mightve just inserts the decor he thinks looks neat or didn’t see the reason why to lose sleep about it and just left it at the default furniture ☹️☹️ (ryoma have some fun plz)

his favorite is saharah cause he appreciates how she makes the own living (he bought alot of rugs but didn’t hv enough space 😭😭 (he didn’t wanna fall for toms schemes & expand))

he also relates a lot to totakeke not the hippie part but the mellowness i something he likes alot

tbh he plays only maybe 6 times a month? he likes to check in on his villagers 💖💖

ngl he doesn’t prefer co-op, he mostly likes to watch you instead and give you advice based on his own experience
