🍋 project diaries // brb, i'm going to code a bunch of lemons

in this issue 🔍: starting a coding project for fun after literally YEARS 🤓, drawing pretty (questionable) mock-ups 🎨, FONT SELECTION 🤌, color theory (i don't know her) 🤨

project inspo pics (left to right): toram (like this squirrel-bunny creature, my project is also going to be cute and irrelevant) // a shade of yellow + hex code (i know how to do shading on paper from my sketching practice so i wonder if i can code that??) // lemons~~ (definitely gonna see about using the flowers' shade of red as a highlight/underline effect on-hover!!)

i did it!! i actually started a coding project for fun 🎉 now i just need to, ahem, finish it 🙈

the last time i wrote ANY code for fun was when i was still learning to code for the first time in Khan Academy's Processing JS environment, so of course this project has to use p5.js for the nostalgia 🥺 but it's main purpose is to give me the opportunity to code a bunch of cute lemons in a gif-ed pixel art(?) style.

i drew a crappy little mock-up on my phone with my thumbs 👍👎 so you can kinda see ✨ the vision ✨ (if you squint and tilt your head):

my thumbs got a little over-excited. my MVP (minimum viable product) is actually just the lemons + the words DAILY ZESTY 😂 the key point here is setting goals so darn achievable i will never give up 😅

so, let's summarize the important specs:

special features that nothing else out there has: none 💀

work that could be accomplished without coding: literally everything 💀💀

the promise of fun and a sense of personal accomplishment: is there ☺️

me looking for fonts:

should i make my own font with my hand-writing since nothing is exactly matching what i want? 👀

the only font-maker for handwriting i've found won't work for Chinese or Korean 😞

OH MY GOD I HAD NO IDEA GOOGLE FONTS DON'T JUST WORK IN ALL LANGUAGES

WHY ISN'T THERE A FONT THAT SUPPORTS BOTH CHINESE AND KOREAN??

*imports three different fonts for English, Chinese, and Korean*

my font selection criteria: vibes 😎

now,,, colors have historically been "ok, whatever" territory for me, but i'm looking to (hopefully, slowly) change that as i work through this project...

yes, i know the green doesn't match my mock-up and i'm not even 100% convinced i even like the color in the mock-up, but that's not important FOR NOW. the main thing i wanted to get down was that the green part on top is colored by p5.js so that i can dynamically draw and animate the lemons on top of it while the color everywhere else is just plain CSS background-color

also toying with the idea of a softer off-white color for the div (the center box thingy) instead of smack-dab-in-your-face just the total absence of color that i kinda hate 🤢 idk if changing the green will change how the white looks, we'll have to see~

💌: overall pretty excited for this project since i rarely get to do creative design things at work and i don't often feel like i have a lot of agency — i just have to build whatever is needed. this project is purposely designed to be kind of useless and unnecessary because it's just so freeing that way 🕊️ it's also a welcome procrastination activity when i really should be studying my psychology coursework 🤭

More Twst x pkmn!

Dustox feels almost obligatory to me atp, and Dipplin is there bc of the poison apple. The rest are there for the queen aspect of Vil’s character, tho I def considered the poison aspect too. And, side note, but his Gardevoir is definitely a male one.

Decidueye is another obvious one, as it’s a bird archer, kinda like Rook! (Rook, as in the bird.) (Also I’m just now remembering that I was thinking about giving him a Bisharp to reference the rook chess piece, but it’s not that important. Oh well) Vivillion bc it just feels like a Rook pkmn, and it’s the “High Plains” form bc Rook’s from Sunset Savanna. Zoroark is there bc I wanted a pkmn that could blend into the background like Rook could (*cough cough* stalker *cough cough*) so, Zoroark. Leavanny bc Rook is also very like, nurturing, if that makes sense. Similar vibes 👍 Swoobat bc again, it just reminded me of him, then finally Pheramosa bc I wanted Rook to have an odd pkmn. One that makes you go, “why tf do you have that?” And Ultrabeasts are a good type of pkmn for that idea. I also wanted Rook to have at least one fighting type, again for the archery thing and bc he used to be in Savannaclaw, but Pheramosa also just slays, so it’s a good Rook pkmn

For Epel, I honestly wanted to give him every single applin evo (Flapple, Appleton, even Hydrapple) but that’d take up to many slots, so he only gets Flapple. Buneary is due to his connections with bunnies in canon (this card is proof of that!) so I wanted to give him a bunny pkmn too. I feel like his buneary has been one of his oldest partners, but he doesn’t want a Lopunny, so he gave his Buneary an everstone. I feel like part of his character development would be letting Buneary evolve :). Frosmoth is cause he’s from a cold area, and I just thought it fit him. Croagunk is a poison/fighting type, and both of those are very Epel-like to me. Varoom is another poison type, but also Epel likes blastcycles, so I thought it fit. (I also realized that I should’ve given Deuce a Cyclizar, tho I’m not sure who I’d switch out, oh well) Dubwool is there mainly to fill out the rest of his team lol (maybe I should’ve given him an Applin-)

Bonus rounds!

I’m not really sure what I’d explain here. Maybe that his name, Neige LeBlanche literally translates to Snow White bc Neige=Snow & Blanc(he)=White, and so Snow=Ice type? Idk, easy picks

(The image is a little distorted so it’d fit better in the slot I was using, so if they look off, that’s why)

Idrk what to say. Dominic has a Honedge bc in the EN of Harvenston, the Seven Dwarf’s team was called “Seven Swords”

I could see Grum with Mankey’s evolved form too, but I forgot the name of it and didn’t feel like searching for it

From his description, I thought a fun little MimeJr. fit Toby well

Similar vibes. Sorta. I vibe with it.

Hop has music notes in his hair. They both seem chatty?

I just thought it fit him, honestly. Good vibes 👍

I want to give the evolved form of Munna to Silver, so Shelpie gets the unevolved form

That’s all I got, we don’t know enough about them for me to give them any better picks 🤷‍♀️😅

SPIDER-SONA TIME!!

[Image Description: two digital drawings of void-crawler (my spider-sona). the character is drawn five different times throughout the whole canvas. on the top left corner, void-crawler is unmasked, smiling and doing a peace sign. there are two white text boxes representing void’s internal thoughts that read “gotta love hammerspace. how else would my hair fit otherwise?*”. underneath there’s a turquoise text box that reads “*editor’s note: it would not.” in the middle left side of the canvas, void-crawler is shown with a surprised expression and the spidey sense lines. there’s a white bubble text that reads “omg i have squiggly lines!!”. near that drawing, there’s a smaller one with a chibi head of void doing a salute with a turquoise bubble text with a white center reading “of course, officer!”. an arrow points to text saying “talking with hero voice (a.k.a. deeper)”. on the bottom left corner, there’s an unfinished but colored drawing of void-crawler drinking a milkshake with half their mask off and with little hearts on the side. there’s an arrow pointing at the drawing accompanied by text that reads “pretend this is okay [heart emoticon] and finished…” on the right side of the canvas, there’s a full-body drawing of void-crawler. void has a hand near the face in a thinking manner and the other near the hip. to the right, there’s a written text that says “void-crawler!” in all caps. the background is a yellow note-taking paper texture. the second image shows the front and back design with some mannequin models as template. background is white. /end ID]

more info below:

alright guys, let’s do this one last time. my name is mars walker. i was bitten by a radioactive spider. and for the last 2 years, i’ve been the one and only void-crawler. i’m pretty sure y’all know the rest. i saved a bunch of people. got spider-man to be my mentor. did a couple of team-ups with him and deadpool. i saved the city but i… couldn’t save peter. i stopped fighting for a while. changed my suit and hero name. and now i’m back, stronger than ever, wahoo! because no matter how hard life gets, i always find a way to come back and save the city. cuz who else will if not me?

amazing intro proving i’m a hero… check!

whole backstory explained… on hold

hi! finally posted this, i made it like a week ago. anyway, i think i would have some extra powers, as a treat.

first of all, enhanced spidey sense. i don’t only perceive near danger but FUTURE danger as well. basically i get visions, premonitions, prophecies, whatever you wanna call them. they are always about danger and there IS a way to change them. i dont know how that would work with time and space continuum and all those complicated things, but who wants logic, boring!! (i’ll solve the plot hole soon, dw 😭🛐) (if any of y’all have any idea how to solve it, pls tell me)

i would be able to break the 4th wall cuz i constantly do irl anyway,, sometimes life follows a specific storytelling pattern and has very notorious plot armor and that makes me think “huh… weird”

i would also have sensitive senses, and that includes night vision! (i already have sensitive hearing irl and it’s a nightmare! good luck void-crawler). i could also “change” my appearance? i would not physically change it, but i would release some kind of chemicals or stuff that would make people see other thing. this is inspired by the ant mimicry spiders do. spiders DO change physically, but i think mine would be just psychologically. idk, i thought that would be cool :P

the design of my spidey suit is inspired by, spidey of course, but also by deadpool’s suit. cuz i’m obsessed with both of them atm, so had to add that to my story 👍 AND IT WILL MAKE SENSE STORY WISE MUAHAHAHA! cant wait to tell y’all the backstory.

yk that thing miles and gwen do when talking to their dad while in the spidey suit (deeper voice)? well i would do that all the time i’m talking with people that are not aware void-crawler is mars walker. and my bubble text would show that by being mostly turquoise with a bit of white in the center :3

#HEHEHEH!!!! finally posting this wahoo! #spidersona #spidersona oc #spider man oc #spiderman #spiderverse oc #spiderverse #across the spiderverse #atsv #itsv #into the spider verse #peter parker #deadpool #wade wilson #art #digital art #digital artist #marvel #marvel art #sony animation #sony pls hire me i have many ideas (i’m only 17 tho F) #has id #my art

Hi hi, hope you're doing well!! Wanted to ask if you could explain how you pick colours! They're always so appealing to look at... (If you could also explain how you pick blush colours it'd be great! I never manage to pick good ones, no matter how hard I try :'))

hi anon, i'm doing fine!! it's summer right now where i live and that's healing all my problems (⁠◡⁠ ⁠ω⁠ ⁠◡⁠)

i have recorded the process of some of my drawings and everything is posted in my youtube channel (in twitter too), so i'll drop the link here and try my best to explain the coloring part to you. the short answer is that none of the colors you see in my drawings are similar to those i initially picked.

i try to keep my lineart loose but i pay attention to the outlines so i can quickly select the outer parts, invert the selection and fill it with the bucket tool. my base colors are all 100% opaque and i don't use any fancy brushes here.

as to how i pick colors, i never use the color picker tool, i eyeball everything. that's important for me because i tend to make all of them warmer: the greens are dark yellows, the pinks are light reds, and everything that's close to blue is very desaturated. i do this even for drawings that turn out much different later, unless i have a very specific vibe in mind from the beginning. i also never use pure whites for anything, and if something is black i make it part of the lineart.

then i always color my lineart!! there's no trick to that, the layer is in normal mode and i just paint it with a darker color than what's below it. i usually add the shadows and highlights at this stage of the drawing too. you're going to kill me for this but shade with gray set in color burn or linear burn (never multiply). i just don't want to think about color variety at this stage because it makes things more difficult for later. sometimes i add textures and some basic color correction here (curves, color balance, layers set in overlay, etc.) but i mostly leave that for the next part.

as to how i choose blush colors, i usually pick the base color and move it towards the saturated end of the color wheel, and a bit more pink. sometimes i add a multiply layer and airbrush hot red over the base colors at low opacity. coloring the lineart with hot colors surrounding the blush areas helps a lot too :)

i also almost always duplicate the lineart, blur it and set it in linear burn (i paint this layer in a light gray). this adds a lot of depth to the drawing, especially if later combined with the bloom effect.

the key to why the colors in my art pop so much is that i don't enjoy drawing as much as i enjoy postprocessing pictures 😂🤣😅👌✌️👍 once i'm satisfied with the "base" colors i merge everything except the background, open a new canvas and go crazy with filters and textures. that's why i use ibispaint X even if i do the lineart elsewhere (krita), and even if it works a bit wonky with big canvases.

i do something different for each drawing here, so first i'm going to explain my reasoning so that you understand my process: i used to have a problem of using very strong colors that overshadowed my beloved lineart into which i had put a lot of effort, so my goal nowadays is to make everything look less contrasted without losing the visual impact of saturated colors. that way the lineart remains a strong point and not just a way to separate one color from another.

what i usually do is duplicate the new merged layer, set it to exclusion mode, add a gradient map and play with the opacity. then i duplicate that and do the same thing with another gradient or another blending mode. i tend to add like 3-6 layers of bullshit over my drawings, including textures and other filters like "bloom" or "sharpen". i understand everything that's going on there but i don't think too deeply about it, i just pick whatever looks best.

for the final touches i always pull up the saturation and contrast (since a lot of it gets lost in the process), and i usually have to manually change some colors (ibispaint X has a filter to do that) or tweak the curves. then i add chromatic aberration, noise set to overlay and little polka dots set to linear dodge.

here are some comparisons of the before and after of recent drawings. the 1st one is very subtle, but you can clearly see how much warmth and depth it gains it gets after all the postprocessing. the 2nd one is so different that i understand why you're curious about how i pick colors. i don't think i can replicate that look just from picking nice colors, there's a lot more going on!! the 3rd one personally feels like it had potential lost (i liked the yellow highlights), but the colors were too strong and all over the place, so the finished result looks more intimate and calm and i like it a lot more.

thank you for the interest anon, i'm very happy that you like the way i color things and i hope i have explained myself. good luck with your own journey!!

[rt-lots]

hiii um i wrote a hypnospace outlaw thingy... ive never shared my writing before so i am VERY nervous and i dont know how common this'll be 4 me but ya 👍

au where zane n corey paul r in the same school and also friends... in a mildly gay way

just fyi this isnt my usual writing style. unless you like it then actually i write like this exclusively and also all the time

word count is 1275 hope u likey 🙏

Zane has never heard of a tuba cover before. To him, it sounds pretty freaking stupid.

The tuba is not an instrument Zane has ever had any conscious thought about. To him, it's solely a background instrument for nerds in band to play at school assemblies. It's not really music- not like sick-as-crap electric guitar, bass or drums. It's the instrument you take out for marches, raising school spirit, and looking really lame.

Corey Paul, of course, feels differently.

The tuba is a beautiful instrument, both in sound and aesthetic. He likes how the gold tube wraps in on and around itself, almost making art with its function. It looks purposeful, because it is, and that air of maturity makes for good art. Corey also likes the sound of the tuba. He'd never really been an outgoing kid. His voice cracks under pressure or when he laughs too much and he's never had anything important enough to say with confidence. The tuba, though, is loud by default. Its sound is rich and deep, filling the room and demanding your attention. Corey likes that; he likes that the tuba knows what it wants, and both looks and sounds good doing it.

Zane's never really had much of a reason to give a crap what Corey thinks, though. They're friends, sure, but they both know where their interests lie. Corey had once tried bridging the gap by asking Zane if he could tuba him a song for his game, but quickly shut that down after being laughed at in his face.

Point is- it was fine. Corey could be a class clown comedian with an ugly instrument and Zane could be the X-Slayer game developer with all around superior tastes. Neither needed to change the other's mind.

…Which is why Corey's next move confuses him.

Corey stops Zane after his last class, doing that thing he does where he bounces on his heels in excitement. Corey and Zane have a schedule of hanging out every Thursday after school, and it's Monday, so he's not expecting him to come barreling into Mrs. Patterson's classroom, wheezing with excess energy, like he was rushing to see him. He doesn't expect Corey, someone usually so uptight about his personal space, to eagerly grab his shoulder, either, but he does that too, and it isn't terrible.

Through the breaths of an unathletic teenager who just ran down two flights of stairs and through a hall, Corey explains he has a surprise for Zane, something he's been working really hard on, and he just finished it so he has to come see it right now. Although confused, Zane doesn't have any gripes with this, and he tells Corey to just wait a minute for him to pack his things and he'll come see. Corey's hand retreats from his shoulder like a wounded animal, but he's still smiling as he says OK.

Zane thinks it's gross Corey's taking him to the Band Hall, otherwise known in his mind as Nerdface Central, but he reminds himself that Corey apparently worked hard on something for him, so he should hold back on any unsavory comments- just for a little bit.

Corey leads him to the center of the hall, up an elevated stage platform and to a white soor on the left. Zane feels some apprehension going in, like Corey's just asked him to walk straight into a teacher's lounge, but Corey opens the door and holds it for him, and the gesture is so homey that it'd feel wrong to do anything other than walk straight in.

The room past the door is significantly smaller, and seems to be some kind of closet. The room is entirely cleared out save for a small speaker, Corey's tuba case on the ground, and two chairs around it. Given that the chair furthest from him is right behind the tuba case, Zane assumes the other chair is for him, and slides his backpack off his shoulder, letting it fall to the ground before he sits in his seat.

The door shuts behind him and Corey hurries over to the speaker. Zane asks him what's the surprise but Corey unsurprisingly tells him to be patient. There's a small MP3 player attached to the speaker, and Corey fiddles with it some before pressing play. No sound comes out, but Corey doesn't seem alarmed, instead simply reaching down to his case and setting up his Tuba. He gently hauls it up into his lap and adjusts it accordingly, ready to be played. Zane feels a weird sort of antsy about it, and asks Corey again why exactly he's here. This time, Corey just smiles, and answers: "I found a Nothing Left For Me instrumental online."

Suddenly, the music starts.

Zane would recognize that intro anywhere, even when scraped to just its fundamentals. The realization is sudden, but interrupted by the deep tone of Corey's tuba. Zane almost can't hear the music over the tuba at first, but he's quick to notice how the instrumental and Corey's playing interact with eachother; they're meant to be the same song

Corey is playing him a tuba cover of Nothing Left For Me.

That sentence is about the lamest string of words Zane can possibly think of, but it really doesn't feel that way in the moment. Zane knows about Seepage- everything about Seepage- and he knows they don't post tutorials on how to play tuba covers of their music. For Corey to be playing a cover of Zane's favorite song, for him, on the freaking tuba, he'd have to have come up with the composition himself.

Usually, when receiving a gift, Zane doesn't feel much beyond a vague sense of hype and excitement. But imagining Corey listening to Nothing Left For Me for hours, reimagining it in a medium he could replicate, just to play it for Zane? He feels… flattered, which isn't a feeling he's used to.

A part of the back of Zane's mind is still arguing whether or not he likes this gift. Throwing Seepage's electric metal awesomeness into the ringer only for it to come out the end of a tuba should be a disgrace to Seepage itself, it says, and Zane agrees… just only in theory. Because maybe Corey didn't just listen to the song, maybe he had an understanding of what made it so awesome to Zane in the first place. And maybe that's why it manages to sound pretty good- even with a tuba.

Zane honestly didn't realize Corey liked him that much. As much as his cool punk persona was totally based in reality, he'd never had all that many friends. Not close ones, anyway. He hung out with dudes, they hung out with him, and that was about the end of it. None of his other buddies would make him a gift, nevertheless perform it for him. Does this mean something, then? Had Corey put nearly as much thought into this as Zane is thinking he did? The confrontation of this sudden fondness is confusing, and Zane doesn't know much of what to do with it.

Conveniently, of course, the music stops then, leaving a small bit of silence where Zane isn't totally snapped out of whatever train of thought Corey's sent him on. Corey either doesn't notice or doesn't care, and simply moves the interaction along with a "So? Did you like it?"

Zane looks Corey in the eye, past his square wire frame glasses and dorky grin. He smiles, all teeth, and a quick laugh escapes him, entirely gratitude and nerves as his ears burn a little behind him.

"Dude, you're really good!"

☁️🐚🍄🍓(all, or any combination you want) for the fanfiction author ask meme

kissing your hand reverently for the ask etc

☁️ ⇢ what made you choose your username?

i just like leather bookmarks!! originally lb was a non-kpop sideblog, and i wanted something that wouldn't be fandom-specific (i don't really like changing usernames) but that at the same time would fit my current fandom (the hobbit hehe). so, leatherbookmark!!

as for my ao3 username, oenanthe is a name of two genera: birds and plants, but i took mine from the bird one. specifically, this little guy. i love that the latin name is so pretty (wine+flower) but both english and polish taxonomers went "this bird has a white ass. alright then here you go"

by the way, huh, these arrows are fun! they're not -> but ⇢. they're dashed. cute

🐚 ⇢ do you like or dislike surprises?

oh boy i really don't... i used to when i was a kid, but at this point it's just a source of stress. though like -- depends, because if someone gets me a little postcard or a souvenir that's right up my alley, it's great and i'm happy they thought of me!, but if it's a big expensive gift... yeag

🍄 ⇢ share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairings

fascinated by the separation of ship and pairing here, btw

ohhhh my god i gotta get my fandom brain back in order.

xiyao. what do i think about xiyao? i like to think that in a better world they'd love to Eat. try out different stuff, ranging from "drowning in grease and made by a 78yo uncle who spits into his hands spiritedly before kneading the dough" to... hm. would they go for the "lick the citrus foam out of the plaster cast of the chef's mouth" dining, uh, experience? probably not, but lxc would be amazed and interested, half sincerely and half because he wants to check at what point jgy will go beloved, what the fuck.

but ALSO i think they'd just enjoy meals as a way of spending time together! so whether it's a modern au or not, they whip out the nice tableware, make sure there's a nice plantly being/something decorative on the table, etc. (they don't play music/put on tv in the background because they don't believe in that.)

(all of the above also means their meals take WAY longer than you'd expect, or rather -- as long as they can make them. breakfasts come with dessert now icydk)

🍓 ⇢ how did you get into writing fanfiction?

hm!! i think i just... started doing it? when i was a kid and browsing blogs about the witch comic series, i stumbled upon some blogs that weren't like, character profiles and comic arc summaries, but instead basically chaptered fanfiction. and since that, i kind of seeked out people's fics, often more than canon material like scans, databases and such lol.

iirc i started out making comics about my OCs, weird little AUs (like... utena characters, but magical girls/boys lmfao), or "original" comics obviously were just crazy mixes of whatever i was into at the moment. i only started writing fic when i was, idk, ten? and even then it was more like "ough i have a certain scene/image/mood/feeling in my brain and i need to get it Out" than actual stories :')

another thing that hasn't changed until sort-of-very-recently was me just.... starting anew every new fandom. i'd be into fandom X for years, produce tons of fics, and then once i got into fandom Y i was like oh fuck this is all so embarrassing, STARTING A NEW ACCOUNT RIGHT AWAY OR WE DIE. 👍 on one hand cool, on the other i sometimes envy writers who don't have to log into three separate accounts to see all their stats ='D

This was for the Encanto oc appreciation... uhm. Yeah I'm sorry if this oc is cringe ;-; anyways this is her Official Uhh....INFO post-. Yeah👍... please don't hate me:).

P.s Ignore my potty mouth I'm sorry it's a habit.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(50 years ago ✨)From a Filipino Couple going on a fun filled vacation turns into fleeing their inn from the fires and soldiers. The Ingacio Family has been living in Encanto, Hiding in the backgrounds of the Madrigals. With Filipino Blood, all Ingacios Try their best to help out with anything. Almost all of them atleast...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Full name: Anthea Castro Ingacio.

Nicknames: Thea, Cassy, A.C, Spitfire.

Sex: Female. ♀️

Gender: Girl♀️

Sexuality: Lesbian ✨

Age: 22

Birthday: October 31st

Height: 5'1.

Likes: Fire 🔥 (the look of it), Putting Isabella in her place, reading romance, Being Angsty😔/jk wine ✨, Singing to herself(And or Siblings.), Halloween, Scaring people, The look of Blood, & animal Bones.(She's fascinated by the anatomy and structure!) She LOVES animals.

Personality: Anthea really lives up to her Family name. Ingacio meaning Fire/Flame— when it comes to people shutting her out for her Sexuality and identity she takes it very seriously and starts ranting about how it's none of their business. She is a very competitive and independent Woman who dosent do shit people tell her too :)

except for her Mother, She is scared to death by her.

She's Aware of other people's feelings and WILL stop teasing them when they know they've hit a boundary. Her Thick headed exterior over shadows her Warm cuddly side, she absolutely loves kids and her siblings, she's the overprotective sister of most kids in the village that didn't have older siblings, apart from Mirabel and Camilo.

Other info: Has Anger issues.

Backstory: Growing up in Encanto was difficult for Anthea, Learning Spanish instead of her home language she felt left out by not understanding a word her parents said. She was 12 when she found Mirabel, it was the day after her gift ceremony, some kidsz were making fun of her in the park, So Anthea intervened.

It caused a bit of a scene, Anthea end up getting hurt and Mirabel dragged her to casita to get healed by Julieta, They became friends and Stayed with eachother, when She noticed how badly Isabela was treating Mirabel, she basically permanently made Isabela her enemy, Fighting and snapping at her if she made any mean comments about Mirabel. She purposely called Mirabel Beautiful, perfect, and The best Madrigal infront of Isabela, just to get on her nerves, but she REALLY did think about Mirabel as those things.

Growing up to 22, she is still Snappy and ignorant with a soft spot for kids. When Isabela came around she would make a comment about her saying:"are you going to pick up those petals? Or do WE have to clean up after you prima Donna?". turning it into a conversation or a disagreement. It seemed like she just wanted to Tease Isabela. Isabela gifting her the nickname Spitfire. Sometimes the arguments sound more like flirting which would confuse the people around them. Now that she knows Isabela has 'changed.' She is confused for what to do now that Mirabel and isabelas relationship has changed? She ended up liking this Isabella way more than the last one and often follows Isabella around. 'Annoying her' when they're really having fun banter and talking.

Physical appearance: She has Long Wavy brown Hair that's normally in a bun, wearing a Red-oranges Bandana on her head. Her skin is warm ivory and wears a white shirt and black corset with a red Dress/skirt. Her body shape is Pear 🍐 and her eyes are blue (inherited from an grandparent.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Eehhh— Anthea is potentially Isabellas Girlfriend 😎 bc I'm a sucker for the:

Enemy's to lovers trope🙏

Gay OCs backstory 1/3

This was originally going to be 1/2, but then I saw how long this was getting so decided to split it up as to not torture myself! 👍

These OCs are in the same universe as my aroace OC here!

Damian held on to his umbrella tightly. Rain poured all around, covering the streets and cars. Bugs skittered around the grass as they tried to find somewhere safe to hide. 

Damian really should be skittering off as well if he didn’t want to be late to his first day of 9th grade at a new school. But how could he when there was a stray cat getting soaked in the rain. 

The cat, a cute little calico, curled in a box and only sheltered because of his umbrella. But he couldn’t leave the umbrella here. He can’t show up on the first day dripping wet. That would be so embarrassing. 

The rain was so loud he didn’t even notice the footsteps approaching. 

“안녕. What are you doing?”

Damian jumped, startled and he turned to see a boy standing behind him. The boy was wearing the same uniform as him, as well even a red tie, meaning he was also in 9th grade.

“Oh, I, uh, th-this cat, it.. uh..”

The boy stepped forward. “¡Ay qué lindoooo! How’d this little guy wind up all alone?”

“I, uh.. don’t know. But if I leave now, he’s gonna get drenched..”

“Hm..” the boy thinks before giving Damian a mischievous smile. Something told Damian this was a face he made a lot. It just looked natural on him. 

“Take my umbrella!” He said, shoving it into his arms. “Huh?! Wait, what?!”

“I have to run! Promised a friend I’d grab something at the convenience store for him! See ya!”

Before Damian had a chance to even get a word out, the boy was running off into the void of raindrops and fog, leaving him with two umbrellas. 

He looked at the cat. “Did you see that?!” He exclaimed. The cat just yawned in response. 

He gripped his umbrella handle before leaning it against the cat’s box. He looked up at the boy’s umbrella. Damian’s was just a plain black one, but this one was covered in red, white, and green raindrop patterns with a black background.

He sighed and began to feel really guilty about now having some stranger’s umbrella while he now has to go to school in the rain. 

He decided he would return it to him if he sees him at school. He ventured on and headed to the school. 

Once he arrived, the classroom was already full of students, some he recognized from middle school, and some were completely new faces. 

He looked around to see if he could find that boy. But he didn’t see him anywhere. Damian took a spot near the back and sighed, watching as the boys in his class were already clumping together and laughing and having fun. He wishes he was able to interact with guys his age like that. 

Damian felt his breath get caught in his throat when the boy from before came in the classroom, dripping water all over the floor. 

“Dude, Cameron!” exclaimed one of the boys. “Did you not read the weather report?”

Cameron laughed and held up a bottle of orange juice. “Ah, well, I didn’t forget to get you your OJ!”

Everyone immediately flocked to Cameron. He had that aura, that smile that made people want to be near him. Even Damian, loner that he was, desperately wanted to jump from his chair and introduce himself and be his friend.

The boys dark eyes turned to Damian and his smile lit up. “Cat boy!”

Everyone snickered. “Cat boy? Damian, something you wanna tell us?” said one of the boys. 

Damian clenched his fists. “Don’t say it like that..” he murmured to Cameron. 

“Sorry! Oh! 만나서 반가워! I’m Cameron Garcia! It’s good to meet you!”

He stared at the boy’s hand before eventually shaking it. “Damian Lincoln…” 

“Cameron!” The smiling boy’s friends called. “Cmon, get a seat next to us!”

“Oh! Right!” Cameron turned to Damian with a cheeky smile. “See ya later!”

“W-wait!” Damian tried, but the boy already walked off. Guess I’ll have to return the umbrella after school..

Cameron and all the other boys chatted loudly, attempting to throw crumpled up papers into the trash can until the teacher came in. 

“We’re going to start off the year with some icebreakers!” She wrote a couple of questions on the board, like ‘what’s your favorite show?’, ‘do you prefer chocolate or vanilla?’  

“Go into groups of 4!” Kids immediately began to group up with their friends, laughing excitedly, leaving Damian with no group. 

The teacher went up to him. “Looks like we’ll have to put you in a group.”

Noooooo… he felt his inner self cry out. Being forced to group with another group of friends by the teacher is by far the most awkward and embarrassing thing ever. 

“Hmm.. go group with Audra, Lenni, Cameron, and Izzy.”

Damian felt like combusting at that very moment from embarrassment. And when the cute boy looked over at him and smiled.. ugh, Damian could’ve dropped dead from a heart attack right then and there from how attractive he was. 

He pulled up and chair and awkwardly sat next to Lenni. He only knew Lenni and Audra. Cameron and Izzy were new. 

“I’ll start!” Cameron said happily. “I’m Cameron Garcia! I just moved from Canada. But before that, I lived in South Korea! And before that, I lived in Colombia! So I speak English, Spanish, French, and Korean. But I rarely speak French, since neither of my parents do.”

Everyone nodded and smiled. Cameron had this energy about him. This laugh that was infectious and made you want to lean against his shoulder as you caught your breath as tears of joy sprung to your eyes. 

He gestured to the girl next to him. “This is my cousin, Izzy!” He nudged her. “Go onnnnn.”

She sighed and sat up. Damian noticed the way Lenni sat up slightly when she got ready to speak. Oh. He thinks she’s attractive.. Damian realized. He never really.. noticed that. 

“I’m Izzy Yun. Unlike my cousin,” she gestures to Cameron, “I haven’t traveled around much. I only live just on the outskirts of this town, about 20 minutes away. I play softball and sometimes volleyball.”

Everyone nodded and then they looked at Audra. Damian sucked in a slight breath. Audra was his ex girlfriend (if you even count dating in 8th grade as actual dating). She broke up with him because he “didn’t act like he actually liked her.” Which was unfair! He did! She was really nice and he liked hanging out with her. 

“I’m Audra Bennett. I’m part of the dance team and I’m part of a band.”

“That’s so cool!” Cameron said, leaning toward her slightly, which caused Damian jump and interrupt Lenni before he got to introduce himself, which is very out of character for Damian, as he would much prefer to go last. 

“I’m Damian Lincoln! I-I.. I um.. I like to code..”

Cameron smiled brightly. “Really? Like videogames?”

“Well.. sometimes.. but also things like hacking..”

“Woah, hacking?” Lenni asked. 

Damian laughed nervously. “Not the kind you’re thinking of. More like.. being able to play Doom on a device definitely not made for that, like a Nokia or something.”

“That’s so cool!” Cameron said, leaning toward him. “You’ll have to show me some time!”

Something about being the person Cameron leaned toward made Damian feel good. Really good. Special and important almost… Maybe even giddy..

“Y-ya, well.. if you have an old device, maybe I can repurpose it for you.. Maybe invite me over…” he said shyly, realizing his tone almost came off flirty.

What was that tone?! He thought, panicked. 

Cameron seemed to pick up on it as well, his eyebrows raising and slowly smirked. “Ok? You can come to my house and we can look for something.. I’m sure there’s something in my room.”

Lenni cleared his throat. “Anyways… I’m Lenni Belle. I enjoy to make movies and study film production.”

“Ohh!” Cameron said. “You wanna be a big time Hollywood producer?”

“Ehhh,” Lenni said, shrugging. “I wanna be more of an indie producer. Hollywood is awful. Not getting tangled in that.”

Cameron laughed. “Understandable!”

Damian awkwardly looked off to the side. He tried to think of something to say to Cameron. To get to keep talking to him. He perked up and reached under his desk. 

“By the way Cameron. Here’s your umbrella back.”

“Huh? Oh thanks! But keep it! At least for now!”

“H-huh? Why?”

“I’m guessing you left your umbrella with that cat? Well, if it’s not still there after school, you can keep my umbrella!”

“Oh.. wait.. does that mean you’ll walk with me?”

“Ya! And after that, you can come to my house! Like we talked about a minute ago!”

“O-oh..! Ok!” Damian said, quickly straightening up, his eyes shining.

Damian glanced over when he felt a glare on him and spotted Audra staring daggers into him. 

Awkward.. he thought. But why would it be awkward? Does she just think Cameron is attractive and upset that he’s not looking at her?

Damian thought about getting Cameron to look at Audra. Seeing as how he had hurt Audra in 8th grade, albeit unintentional, so the least he could do is try and set her up with the cute charismatic boy..

But..

The idea of that made his blood boil. He liked this attention Cameron was giving him. He liked being the one Cameron was talking to and staring at.. Ya, maybe it was selfish, but.. but..

Damian has never had a friend! And he wasn’t going to lose the opportunity to get closer to Cameron… and become friends with him!

The teacher clapped her hands, interrupting Damian and Cameron’s conversation. 

“Ok, kids. Let get back to class!”

Damian pouted slightly and glanced at Cameron, who also seemed mildly disappointed. 

“Remember, we’re going to meet up after school. Meet me at my locker. My number is 214.”

Damian’s eyes widened slightly and he smiled. “Ya. All right! Will do!”

Of course, since he had something to look forward to after school, the school day felt like it went on forever. What really made it worse was that Damian had no other classes with Cameron. 

He did, however, have several classes with Cameron’s cousin, Izzy. 

Izzy was.. intimidating. She had this delinquent like aura about her. Yet, according to the whispers he hears from his classmates, she was ‘hot’. And Damian could recognize that she was pretty. But, other than that.. he just couldn’t see what everyone was so excited about. 

“Pst. Hey,” Izzy whispered. “Can I borrow a pen?”

“Oh.. sure..” he said, handing it to her. 

“Thanks..” 

There was a moment of silence before she said again, “Do you think I’m attractive?”

Damian’s eyes widened and he blushed in embarrassment. “Wh-what?! I mean, you’re not unattractive, but, I-“

“Look. Just answer honestly.”

“…I. I mean, you’re pretty but.. I’m not attracted to you…”

She stared at him for a long while before letting out a sigh of relief. “Finally.. Can I get your number?”

“W-what?!”

“I’m not hitting on you. I just.. need someone who isn’t going to be weird about me. Plus, if you’re going to be friends with Cameron, I wanna make sure you’re good. Especially since he seems very fond with you already..”

Cameron looks down, hating how red his face was. Someone was fond of him?��Very fond of him? And it’s Cameron? Could Cameron perhaps.. be a potential best friend?

Him and Izzy exchanged numbers and the school day eventually came to an end. 

Ok, locker 214.. There it is!

Standing at the locker was Cameron, his black hair having been neatly combed back, unlike what it was like that morning, soaking wet and messy. 

Cameron glanced over and his entire face lit up. As if Damian was the greatest thing Cameron had laid his eyes on. Damian felt like he was.. important. 

“Damian!” he calls out, snapping him from his trance. 

“Heh, Cameron..!”

Cameron closed his locker door and skipped over to him. “Ready to go?”

“Y-ya! Mhm..!”

“Great!” Without warning, Cameron interlocked his arm with Damian’s. 

“O-oh!” he exclaimed in surprise. 

“This ok?”

“Y-ya! Of course!”

“Great! Let’s go find that cat!”

 He was ready to follow Cameron, but was not ready when Cameron grabbed Damian by the hand to walk side by side with him. 

Part of Damian knew he was freaking out. This was nothing. Cameron was clearly just a very friendly person. But the other part of him felt like he was on fire. 

He didn’t even remember the entire walk, or what Cameron was saying, focusing only on how sweaty his palms were and how soft Cameron’s hands felt. In the blink of the eye, Cameron came to a stop. 

“We’re here!”

Damian looked around, then at Cameron, then at the cat, then at their hands before quickly pulling away. 

“Looks like my umbrella is still here..” Damian murmured. 

“Ya! Lucky us!” Cameron said as he picked up Damian’s umbrella and handing it to him. 

“Ya.. lucky.. uh, and here’s your umbrella back..”

“Thanks! Now, cmon. Let’s head to my house!”

“O-ok!” he said. Cameron reached out to take his hand again, but Damian instinctively jerked his hand away. 

“Oh. Sorry, did that make you uncomfortable?” Cameron asked. 

“N-no! Just. Instinct. I’m guessing you’re just a touchy person?”

Cameron stared at Damian intently, as if he was trying to read his mind. “Yessssss… I am.”

“Ok.. well.. ya, you can hold my hand. If you want.”

Cameron smiled and took his hand. 

“So, hacking?” Cameron said. “What got you into that?”

“Oh, uh. It’s gonna sound pretty bad..”

“I won’t judge! As long as you’re not stealing people’s private information. Oh! Are you hacking government information!?”

“Ummmm.. no. I’m not that good. I mostly started to get into hacking to use cheat codes in games. Haaaa..”

“Seriously? I heard people like that tend to be annoying.”

“Well, more like.. weapons that don’t actually exist in the game.. or entering in areas that can’t be entered.”

“Really? You’ve gotta show me some time!”

“M-maybe! What kind of games do you like?”

“Oh! Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing..”

“Oh, I don’t play those kinds of games, so I don’t know any cheat codes. I mostly play games like Call of Duty, Fortnite, Just Cause, Red Dead Redemption..”

“Really? I figured a quiet and shy guy like you would also like comfort games!”

He laughed. “Guess I’m the embodiment of the ‘suspicious quiet kid’ stereotypes.. E-Except I’m not actually violent or anything! I swear!!”

“I know..” Cameron said, stopping in front of a house painted pastel blue with white pillars and a front yard patio. It was the picturesque white picket fence home. “I can tell. You’re a good guy, Damian..” Cameron looked at him for a moment before quickly turning and opening the door. “Cmon inside. Just be sure to take off your shoes.”

“Right..” he said awkwardly. He took a step inside and removed his shoes at the front. He was weirdly excited to be here. 

The house was warm and smelled like vanilla and a campfire, so, very comforting. 

A woman came out of the kitchen, taking off a pair of oven mitts. “Cameron! 왜 나한테 친구를 데려온다고 말하지 않았어?”

Cameron smiled nervously. “미안해! 너한테 문자 보내는 걸 깜빡했어!” He turned to Damian. “Damian, this is my mom!”

Damian jumped slightly. “I, uh, um.. nice to meet you, ma’am..”

She stared at him for a few seconds before sighing. “Just don’t be loud or messy while you’re here..”

“Yes! Of course!”

Cameron turned to Damian again, smiling brightly and grabbed his arm. “Cmon! My room is upstairs!”

Cameron dragged Damian upstairs. There was only one bedroom up there. It was closed and had an Olivia Rodrigo poster hung up. 

Cameron opened the door. “Welcome to my humble abode!”

Damian took a step inside and looked around. 

There was a shelf covered almost entirely with different candles, a desk with colored pencils and crumbled paper crowding the top, and next to his bed was a cage with.. with a..

“A guinea pig!” Damian exclaimed. 

Cameron smiled widely. “Yep!” He opened the cage and gently took the animal into his arms. “This is Hams!”

“Hams?! That is such a cute name!”

“I know! You wanna hold him?”

“Can I?!”

“Of course!”

Cameron handed him the creature and Damian looked down at it with sparkling eyes. 

“Oh.. my.. gosh.. He’s so.. so…”

“I know!” Cameron exclaimed, cutting him off. “You keep holding him while I look for something!”

Damian slowly nodded, not looking away from Hams as he slowly leaned down to sit on the bed. 

Cameron looked around his room before digging into his closet. He exclaims “aha!” as he pulls out a dusty, old calculator. 

“Do you think you could do something with this?” Cameron asked. 

“Hmm..” Damian looked at the calculator as he handed Hams back to Cameron begrudgingly, who put him back in his cage.

“Ya, I probably could. If you could, what game would you want to play?”

“Stardew Valley!” Cameron said immediately. 

“Hm.. I’ll.. see what I can do.”

“Yay!! Thank you, Damian!” Cameron exclaimed, clasping Damian’s hands. 

“Oh, I, um.. ya, no problem..” it felt like his voice had suddenly left him. 

“Say, you said you’ve never played Animal Crossing? How about we play together?”

“Huh? Really?”

“Ya! You can make a new island on my Switch!”

“S-Seriously? That’s.. so nice of you..”

Cameron gets up to retrieve his Switch from his drawer. 

“You like the joy-cons? They’re brand new!”

“Oh, ya. They’re nice..”

“Thanks! Now, lay down with me!” he said, jumping onto the bed and laying down. 

Damian hesitated, but eventually decided to not give in to the nervousness and laid next to him. 

“What do you want to name your island?” Cameron asks, bumping his shoulder against Damian’s. 

“Huh..? Oh, um.. Piltover?”

“Piltover… where have I heard that?”

“Don’t.. think about it.”

“All right!”

He typed in the name and handed him the switch. “Now make your character!”

Damian looked at the customizing options. Usually games like this didn’t have many skin tone options. The darkest ones were still way too light. But this game surprised him with how many skin tone options there were. And one of the hairstyles even had locks, like him (though, he did wish there were more than just that one hairstyle..)

“Yay! You made your character!” Cameron exclaimed. “Now let’s start playing!”

Cameron leaned against Damian’s shoulder as he played. 

The two talked about nothing yet couldn’t keep their mouths closed. It was weird. Damian was terrible at talking, yet Cameron seemed to draw the words right out of him. 

There was a knock at the door and it creaked open, Cameron’s mother standing at the doorway. 

“아, 카메론. 여기는 엉망이야. 어쨌든, 점점 어두워지고 있어. 네 친구는 집에 가야 해.”

Cameron looked perturbed. “그는 조금 더 머무를 수 없어요, 엄마?”

She seemed to glower at him and let out a sigh of defeat. 

“What is it?” Damian asked, confused. 

“My mom said you have to go home.”

“Oh. Well.. I’ll see you at school tomorrow?”

“Ya. Lemme walk you to the door.”

They climbed out of the bed and walked to the doorway, Damian putting on his tennis shoes and Cameron leaning against the wall, watching him. 

“I’ll see you tomorrow, Damian.”

Damian nodded and pushed his glasses up. “Ya.. see ya.”

Right before Damian stepped out, though, Cameron pulled him in for a hug, which severely confused him. 

Damian left after that, walking home as his mind replayed the day’s events. He’s never had someone be so kind to him.. someone who.. wants to be his friend. It was.. kind of exhilarating!

He felt a bit of a pep in his step as he arrived to his house where he saw his parents standing, waiting for him with disapproving glares. 

“Where were you?!” His mother exclaimed. 

“I t-texted you that I was going to a friend’s..”

“Yes, but you gave no information! Who the friend was, where he lived, how long you’ve known him! If I had known you would be gone for so long, I would’ve said no! You missed grandma’s Bible study!”

“She has those, like.. every other day.. is it really so bad if I missed one..?”

His mom grabbed him by the ear. “Go to your room right now! I don’t wanna hear you say anything like that again!”

“Ow, ow! I’m sorry!” She let go of him and he walked inside, rubbing his sore ear. “I’m sorry…” he says again, only this time to himself. 

He goes up to his room and collapses into bed, exhausted. He sees a book on his nightstand and he reaches for it. 

Oh. he thought. The year book from last year must’ve come in.

Dawnward Prep. His old middle school. That place was his personal hell. 

He opened to his class photos and saw himself and he immediately cringed. He always looked so bad in school photos. Though the camera’s lighting in this one certainly was t doing him or any of his old classmates any favors. 

He sighed and rubbed his thumb on the picture before closing it and throwing it onto the floor absentmindedly as he laid on his back. 

Cameron.. his mind drifted to him. He’s never had someone invite him to hang out after school. And never in a million years did he expect someone funny and popular like him to invite him.. it almost felt too good to be true.

Usually he found games like Animal Crossing to be boring, yet that was the most fun he’s ever had playing any game. Ever! 

This all felt new. And exciting. But also kind of terrifying. 

He tightly closed his eyes and tried not to think of the scary ideas that may try to come into his head. 

He reached into his pocket and pulled out the calculator. He really wanted to impress Cameron. And if something as simple as this was enough to make him think that he was cool.. he was going to do it!

…

By the next day, Cameron came over to Damian’s desk, slamming his hands against it. “Lincoln!”

Damian jumped and nearly fell out of his chair. “I, uh-! G-Garcia?!”

Cameron burst out laughing. “Sorry, Damian! I just wanted to see how’d you react!”

“Oh.. I thought you were mad at me or something!”

“No, of course not!”

Damian smiled crookedly as his nerves died down from the scare. 

“Well.. um.. I can probably come to your house today.. for the game thing..”

Cameron let out a loud gasp. “You already hacked it?!”

“Y..Ya!”

“So cool! Ya, you can absolutely come over today!”

Damian smiled shyly. “Great!”

Cameron smiled back at him and looked to the side when the bell rang. “Aww man. Well. I’ll see you later, then?”

“Ya. See you!”

Cameron walked to his desk and Damian stared at him from afar. 

At lunch, Damian was tempted to go and sit next to Cameron, but Cameron was surrounded by so many people. People who either thought Damian was weird and just didn’t know he existed. And the idea of butting into their friend group made him want to collapse like a startled goat. So, instead, he sat at a table by himself, the only other person there was one girl. Lisa Xiè. 

Damian knew her in middle school. An intensely feared girl. Not because she’s a delinquent or a fighter. No. She is worse. She’s a teacher’s pet. One of the biggest rule followers Damian’s ever met. When she was given the position of hall-monitor, she acted like the dictator of the school. And not to mention when she became student council vice president..

Even though Damian was a relatively good student, she still managed to find things to get him in trouble for, whether it be his shirt was untucked or his locker had papers falling out of it. 

Because of her attitude, she also didn’t have many friends, so while he might find her frustrating, they had a sense of solidarity on being lonely. So, he was the only one she seemed to allow to sit at her lunch table, glaring at anyone else who may dare try to come forth. 

Once the school day came to an end, Damian stood at his locker, bouncing up and down on his heels excitedly as he waited for Cameron. 

He saw the dark haired boy coming toward him, waving in greeting. 

“Damian!” he exclaimed happily and Damian smiled back. 

“I texted my dad that I’m going to your house,” he lied. What he really told him was that he was going to the library. “Let’s go!”

Cameron took his hand and dragged him, a skipping with every step. “Let’s!”

They arrived at Cameron’s house, Cameron skipping and hopping happily. Damian was quick to take off his shoes and follow Cameron to his room. 

“Hello Mrs. Garcia!” Damian said as they walked past the kitchen.  

“Oh, hello Damian!” she said, smiling at him. “Do you two boys want snacks?”

Damian was a bit surprised. She seemed to be in a better mood than last time he saw her. 

“No thanks, mom!” Cameron said. “We’ll be fine!”

“Ok. Just remember, no eating in your room.”

“I know!” he said before dragging Damian to his room. 

“Ok, can you show me?” he asked. 

Damian smiled awkwardly. Cameron was so enthusiastic. It was nice and all, but also a bit overwhelming. Or maybe Damian was just overreacting..

Damian took out the Ti-84 Plus CE calculator and sat down at Cameron’s computer. 

Cameron hovered over Damian’s shoulder, watching intently as Damian installed the program. 

He laughed a bit awkwardly as he worked, murmuring, “It’s really not as interesting or cool as you’re making it seem..”

Cameron looked down at him with such a simple look as the simple words of, “It’s plenty interesting because you’re interesting,” came from his mouth. 

Damian’s hand froze on the mouse and he choked out a laughed and quickly tried to clear his throat, sweating bullets. 

“Oh wow..” he murmurs. “That’s.. really, really sweet, Cameron..”

He stares at the screen, his and Cameron’s reflection staring back at him. 

He quickly got back to work and eventually finished, pulling up the program on the calculator before handing it to Cameron. 

“Um.. knock yourself out..” he says with a crooked smile. 

Wow.. the way Cameron’s face lit up. He looked as if someone just handed him a bar of gold or something actually precious and good. 

Cameron squealed as he played on the calculator. “I can woo Elliott on here!”

Damian knew nothing about Stardew Valley, so he had no idea was Cameron was talking about, but he watched as Cameron collapsed onto the bed, staring with shining eyes at the calculator, and Cameron’s rambling just sounded like music. He made him happy. He brought him this joy. And that made Damian feel like he was king of the world. 

Damian stood up from the swivel chair and laid next to Cameron. 

“Can I watch you play?”

“Mhm!”

Cameron glanced at the screen. “You said you were going to woo someone?”

“Ya! Elliott!”

“Oh? It’s a romance game?”

“Romance is part of it.”

“I see.. so, where is she?”

“She?”

“Ya. Elliott?”

Cameron snorted and shook his head. “Uhhh.. no.”

“Huh?”

“No.”

“No what?” Damian asked, confused. 

He pointed to a character. The small screen made it a little hard to tell what they looked like, but then he realized. 

“A guy?!”

“Ya!”

“You’re going after a guy character?!”

“Um.. ya?” He then gave Damian and hard look. “Got a problem with that?”

“N-no!” Damian said, but found himself inching away from Cameron, suddenly aware of their closeness. “I just.. I didn’t know you were..”

“Into guys?”

“..Ya.”

“Well, I’m omnisexual. But.. ya.”

Damian slowly nodded and choked out an echo, “Omnisexual…”

Cameron nodded, trying to smile but it slowly faded. “Why are you reacting like this?”

“Like what?!”

“All.. weird! Ugh, don’t tell me you’re one of those straight people who automatically thinks a gay person is thirsting after you.”

“N-no!!” he said, blushing even harder and nearly falling off the bed. But all that went through his mind is Wait, does that mean he doesn’t have a crush on me? and for some reason, that made him really disappointed. 

Cameron sighs. “Please stop being so weird about this.”

“Weird?! Pffff! I-I’m not being weird!” Craaaaap, I’m definitely being weird.

Cameron gave him a serious look, and Damian had a feeling that was rare for him. 

He sighs and sit up straight. “I’m sorry.. I promise, it really doesn’t bother me. It just caught me off guard..”

Cameron looked at him silently for a good 15 seconds before nudging him. “Hey.. I still want to be your friend..”

“And I want to be yours!” he said, almost immediately. 

Cameron smiles at him and Damian stares at him before smiling back. 

“Wanna keep playing the game?”

He nodded. “Ya..”

Cameron moved a little closer to Damian and the 2 looked at the game and continued to play. 

Maybe this was the start of Damian’s first, really friendship.. his first, true connection..

{Juno R Reed and the blood red amulet}

(Original story with my OCs😀👍

Drawing of Arthur and Juno)

Chapter 1: “the idiot that believes in things that go bump in the night”

Some people call New York City the city of dreams ,but everyone that lives here can tell you otherwise. Yeah it screams fame and glamor, but if you look past the smoke and mirrors that illusion quickly fades. My job is to look past those exact smoke and mirrors, my name is Juno R Reed, I'm a private eye and there is so much smoke in this city that it can be hard to know where to look for a good case.

It's been a slow couple of months for me to get hired to solve a case and I was starting to get a bit impatient. I was having a smoke as I looked out of my window watching the quiet empty streets below. I glanced at the small clock on the wall and grabbed a small brown bottle from my desk. I take out two small white pills and place them in my mouth. I then took a sip of the now room temperature whisky that was sitting on my desk. All of the sudden my assistant Jessica bursts into my office holding a yellow file folder. I was so caught off guard and I started to choke on that same whisky I was drinking.

“What the hell Jessica?! God I swear if a random lowlife doesn't kill me, you will.”

“I'm sorry Mr Reed, I just have a surprise for you.” she said with a grin. Jessica Gold,...She's probably the only person in the world that can tolerate me, I still haven't figured out if that’s a good thing. She’s tall and has jet black hair that's put up in a neat ponytail. She’s wearing a simple white blouse with a long black skirt.

“What is it? I'm busy” I responded with an annoyed tone.

“Sulking around and being all gloomy isn’t ‘being busy’ just hear me out!”

“Ugh fine, tell me what this ‘surprise’ is. ”

“Well , I know you told me not to make any help wanted flyers ,but I couldn't help myself , so I made a few. Beyond all odds, someone actually responded!” Jessica said with an ecstatic tone as she held the yellow file folder.

“What? Well tell them no we don't need help, we are fine on our own”

“Look I love helping you on cases, you know I do sir ,but unlike you I actually have a sense of self preservation and I don't enjoy getting shot at. So I think it's wise to get someone that is also skilled in this profession like you”I hate it when Jessica is right, unfortunately for me she usually is. I sigh and reach my hand out for the folder. Jessica had a proud smile as she handed it over. I look through it as she continues to talk

“His name is Arthur Steel. He is 29 years old and he has a military background. And he has some…skills that can help us in this interesting case I found. It has a few odd murders in it and I just know how much you enjoy those type of cases”

I look up from the file at her as I raise an eyebrow

“How exactly are these murders odd?”

She gives me a smug grin. She knows exactly how to get my attention.

“Well all the victims had their throats ripped out with two deep holes in their necks. Some people are saying that they were attacked by a vampire”

“Absolutely not, Jessica, you know that I don't believe in that nonsense. We solve real cases, not some rumors that a bunch of people came up with in a panic.”

I threw the folder on my desk, not even bothering to look through the other pages. If this ‘Arthur Steel’ can ‘help’ in any way in this ridiculous excuse for a case, I don't even want to meet the idiot that believes in things that go bump in the night.

“Tell him don't even bother, we don't need his help and we will not be taking this case”

Jessica did a nervous laugh. I saw that look on her face and instantly knew that something was wrong.I rubbed my eyebrows in frustration.

“Jessica…don't tell me you already invited him to the office without telling me’

“well…I may have told him to…come down to the office today”

“What?!?! When will he be here?!”

She looks at the clock on the wall and nervously chuckles “Any second now haha…”

As soon as she said that, a loud car raced down the street and stopped in front of the building’s door. I ran out of my office with Jessica right behind me. I looked at the front door and saw a man with short light brown hair, fern colored eyes and an annoying smug smile. Everything about him screams irresponsible and unprofessional. He hasn't even said a single word and he already irritates me.

“Jessy hello!”

Arthur goes up to Jessica and hugs her. They both act like they've known each other for years.

“Mr Reed this is Arthur Steel, Arthur this is Juno R Reed” Jessica introduces us to each other.

“Juno R Reed, Jass here told me so many things about you. All good things I assure you haha. I hope that we can grow to become close friends,junebug ” Arthur winks as he holds his hand out to me trying to shake my hand. Of course I didn't take his hand and I just glared at him. God I hate that stupid smug smile.

“What did you just call me?”

“Junebug. It sounds like Juno. I give all my friends nicknames haha’”

“oh…Well It's…a pleasure to meet you Mr Steel but unfortunately my assistant made a mistake and we are not looking for help, sorry for the inconvenience and don't call me that.”

I tried to keep up the impression that I wasn't annoyed and waiting for Arthur to go back to whatever slum he crawled out of .

“Come on, I would be a perfect fit for this job. I assume you looked through my resume?”

“...yes. I definitely did” obviously I didn't but he doesn't need to know that. But unfortunately you can tell that I was lying just by looking at my face.

“...you know Mr Reed for a detective you're really bad at lying”

“Yes Jessica thank you for informing me” I said in a sarcastic tone

“And this is why we need Arthur, he is really good at lying. You would know if you actually read his folder instead of throwing a tantrum about the case. Hell if the whole vampire thing isn't real there is still a crazy mad cannibal ripping people's throats out…we need this case Juno.”

She's right. There is still a madman killing mostly innocent people and we know that the police are gonna do jack about it. I sigh as I scratch the back of my neck.

“All right…fine, Arthur you're only going to help us on this one case. got that?” I glared at him with a stern look. I really don't like this man but based on the info I glance at in his folder, he can be of some assistance in this case. Arthur nodded in agreement and said with a cocky tone.

“ Don't worry Junebug, I won't let you down. Matter of fact I already have a leed. There is a recent victim that has been attacked a few days ago and I've gained access to look at the crime scene.”

“How exactly have you gained access?” I asked if he was some desperate detective looking for any P.I with half the brain to let him help on a case. I doubt that he has much experience on the field , let alone having any contacts that allows him to waltz in any crime scene as if it's nothing.

“ Don't worry about how I got access. Just focus on the fact that I got access in the first place”

He bribed them. He probably thinks that I have no idea what he did but I've worked with people like him when I worked at the NYPD. I glance at the clock on the wall, it's 12pm. I sighed and grabbed my coat, “alright, if you have a leed lets get this case over with. Jessica, can you find information on the other victims?”

“You know I can Mr. Reed” She had a determined look on her face

“That's settled, come on let's go Junebug we have a vampire to catch ” Arthur excitedly walked out of the office leaving Jessica and me alone. Jessica looks at me with a little smile

“So what do you think”

“...I really don't like him…”

She chuckles as she patted my back.

“Oh I'm sure you’ll warm up to him.” I rolled my eyes, I highly doubt that me and that man would ever be close enough to be considered friends. I walked out of the office and saw Arthur leaning against this beat up 1945 black Ford coupe that obviously had had work done. He looks like he's ready to fight the world with some blind confidence. He says with a bit of a teasing tone.

“Hurry up, the crime scene isn't gonna stay fresh for long”

I took a deep breath, I just knew this was going to be hell.

Chapter 2: “You're glowing!”

The Blood moon hotel, it's a hot spot for stuck up rich people that use daddy’s money to get what they want and where very powerful people go to hide from the public to show their true nasty colors behind closed doors. So I'm not surprised that someone got killed here , it's quite fitting considering the name of this fancy hellhole.

When Arthur and I arrived, we stuck out like a pair of sore thumbs. I wasn't surprised that the hotel was still taking in customers. As we headed to the doors of the hotel I could see customers scoff at Arthur’s sloppy outfit and scuffed shoes, my worn out coat and unkempt hair that obviously hasn't seen a barber in a few months. I tried to keep a low profile and sneaked past the other cops in an effort to not get recognized. A customer mistook Arthur for a poor lobby boy. Arthur was about to accept a cheap tip ,but I had to drag him away by the shirt collar. When we walked in,we were almost blinded by the big glowing chandelier in the middle of the room.

“Wow, have you been to a place like this before, Junebug?”

“Arthur, I'm a P.I. that rarely gets cases and I need my assistant to pay for my bail everytime I get arrested for trespassing. What do you think?” I hiss back.

We headed to the elevator, the receptionist tried to stop us but I just pulled out my old NYPD badge and continued to walk without answering any further questions. We entered the elevator to go up to the floor where the victim resides.

“I didn't know that you have a fake badge” Arthur had a pleasantly surprised grin on his face.

“It's not fake, I used to work in the NYPD before… I was let go. I just took the badge out of spite” I shouldn't have told him that. Now he's looking at me with an interested look.

“Why were you let go?”

“Why should I tell you?”

“Come on Junebug, if we're gonna be partners we can't keep secrets from each other, it can affect our field performance” Arthur said as he playfully shoved my shoulder.

“We aren't partners, I'm just using you to catch a madman. That is all.” I said with a stern tone. I don't have to explain myself to him. After a few more seconds of awkward silence we made it to the 9th floor. There were two cops blocking the room that we needed to go into, room 217. I sighed in annoyance, unfortunately for me I knew both of those cops, they were just rookies when I left but now they have turned into bribe taking douchebags, great.

Of course Arthur walked in front of me and greeted them with open arms. I tried to stay hidden behind him,but it didn't work because I towered over Arthur.

“Hello gentlemen, how are you two doing on this fine evening?”

Both of the cops turned to Arthur, their expressions didn't sour when they talked to Arthur. I’ll give it to him. He is really good at talking to people, he knows the right tone to use while talking to a specific person. The right mannerisms to use, He has it down to a science. It's impressive .As I was analyzing Arthur a voice snapped me back to reality.

“Hey Keppler, is that Juno?”

One of the cops says as he crosses his arms. The other one says with a cocky tone.

“Yeah it is, wow Reed by the look of you, life has been nothing but cruel after you got fired” Keppler said as Jacobi chuckled. Arthur looked at me with a bit of a sympathetic glance. I didn’t blame him, he didn't know my history with them but I could tell that he was still curious about what happened.

“I would say it was a pleasure to see you two but I would be lying, We don't have time to deal with you two, now get out of our we have a job to do.” I said trying to keep my cool.

“Sure whatever you say Reed…Hey Arthur, Jacobi and I are going to lunch. Don't mess up the crime scene or else” Keppler said. I knew that was an empty thought so I paid no mind to it. As I headed in the room, Kelppler shouldered me as I entered. I tried to ignore it. Arthur followed suit and then closed the door behind him.

“Im sorry Juno, I didn't know that you had a bad past with them, if you want to talk about it-”

“Drop it, Steel. Let's just look at the crime scene” I knew that Arthur meant well but personal problems and grudges can't interfere with the case.

The room looked neat and perfect, besides the rotting corpse in the middle of the floor in a pool of his own blood, staining the once pure white carpet underneath. The victim's neck looked like a wild animal shredded it and left two deep gouges behind. His face looked completely drained from color, blue veins marking his body. And finally his gouged out eyes. Looks as if they were brutally ripped out of his skull. It was gruesome and gory, enough to make a rookie gag and consider quitting right there on the spot.

“The victim is Nathaniel Goldsmith, he was a popular jazz singer, he was notorious for going to night clubs and to gamble, A lot. Everyone liked him, if he didn't owe them money. What a shame, he had one hell of a voice. I liked a few of his songs, '' Arthur said as I examined the corpse. This was brutal but there weren't any signs of struggle. It looked like he did this willingly. Odd. Nathaniel was wearing a blood stained white button up with a untied tie and the three top buttons are undone, one button has fallen off. His shoes were haphazardly kicked to the other side of the room, near a small antique glass table that had two glasses with Romanée-Conti wine on top of it. One of the glasses was mostly empty compared to the other one, by the smell of alcohol on Nathaniel’s body it was obvious that he was drunk when he died.

As Arthur looked at the body I walked towards the table, inspecting the two glasses, Nathaniel was with someone, even if he was drunk when he was murdered there would still be signs of struggle. Suddenly a shiny blood red amulet that was on the floor next to the leg of the table caught my eye. I assumed that this amulet could belong to the murderer, for some reason there was a strange force pulling me towards this piece of jewelry. Without thinking I was reaching for it, as soon as I touched it I was hit with a sense of vertigo , I fell to the ground as a slight ringing appeared in my ears. I could faintly hear Arthur call my name. I felt calm, as if nothing could hurt me, then I felt a hand on my chest and I suddenly felt like I was free falling back to reality. I quickly sat up, gasping for air then I looked around but everything looked gray. As if the world got drained of its color. As my eyes began to focus and the ringing subsided, I could hear Arthut call out my name in a panicky tone.

“Juno! Are you alright? What the hell happened? Did you pass out?! Juno buddy answer me damn it!” I Looked at Arthur and like the rest of the room he was absent of any color except the fact that there was a glowing orb in his chest.

“You’re glowing!” I exclaimed

“What?... Junebug, i'm flattered but seriously are you ok?

“No No you're actually glowing, you look drained of any color and there’s a glowing orb in your chest!” I tried my best to explain to Arthur what I saw but I could sense that I was just making him more confused.

“Just touch this” I grabbed a handkerchief from my back pocket and picked the amulet then handed it to Arthur, Arthur grabbed it but nothing happened.

“Junebug, what is supposed to happen?..”

“You're supposed to feel dizzy and then you feel this falling sensation and boom, everything looks gray” The more I talk the more I begin to spiral. I had a sudden realization that I might be hallucinating. What if this wasn't real? I started to think what if Arthur wasn’t real, what if I was still in my office slowly losing my mind.

“No-…no I was getting better. No no no not again. I was better” I muttered under my breath as I was starting to panic. I looked through my coat pockets with my trembling hands for my medication to down the whole bottle. Suddenly in the corner of my eye I saw a figure crouched in the corner. It looks like a man. I look in the direction of this stranger and say with a trembling voice.

“Who are you?”

“Juno, who are you talking to?”

“Steel…Please tell me you see that man in the corner of the room?”

Arthur turns to look in the direction that I'm looking at.

“Juno, tell me what you see. Be specific”

He turns back and grabs my shoulders to make me look at him. This is the first time I've seen him this serious. I nodded and looked back at the creature.

“Well…it's hunched over. It looks like it is holding its neck with its hand. Its skin is ghastly white but with a dark red liquid dripping from its neck. Its spine is so defined that it looks like it could break the skin. ” The more I look at the thing in front of me I realize that it looks familiar. I glanced at the body of Nathaniel and then back up at the being.

“Good god it looks like a crude doppelganger of Nathaniel!”

As the words left my mouth the lights began to flicker violently and the room became frigid. The grotesque version of Nathaniel violently snapped its neck to face us. I stared into its empty eye sockets with a deep red blood dripping down its face for what felt like an eternity, waiting for the other to make the first move. The next thing I knew Arthur was dragging me to the corner of the room and quickly pulled out what appeared to be a piece of white chalk. The distorted version of Nathaniel charged at us, screeching as if it was trying to form words, but the more failed attempts it made the more red liquid poured out of its ripped out throat. I didn't know what to do, I was trapped in the corner of the room with Arthur who seemed to be drawing a symbol on the floor.

“Steel, what the hell are you doing!?’ I yelled out

“Just trust me!” Arthur continued to scribble what seemed to be nonsense on the wooden floor

“Trust you?! I barely even know you!”

It kept getting closer, so I reached for my gun, as I grabbed it, the monster

was inches away from us ,but suddenly it ran into an invisible wall that happened to be right in front of the random markings that Arthur made. It kept screaming and black tar splattering on the forcefield from its mouth. I tried to catch my breath as the thing kept banging against the shield that was keeping us from getting torn to shreds.

“There…ha…see I told you to trust me” Arthur said with a proud smirk on his face. I still tried to collect myself.

“...How?”

“I drew a few protection sigils . It's pretty sturdy so it's gonna hold up against our friend here”

“...so you can see that thing?” I looked at him with the small hope that i'm not the only one that can see that monstrosity

“Unfortunately no, but god I wish I could. it would make things much easier haha…but you can see it can you , Junebug?” He had a bit of an excited glint in his eyes that made me nervous.

“ Yes…I can see it…Thank god I'm not crazy…” I said in a bit of a whisper. “What the hell is that thing?!”

“It's a spirit, a vengeful one specifically. Normal ghosts are pretty calm and shy, it makes sense that Nathaniel’s spirit turned vengeful and violent based on the way he died.”

“...You're acting as if this is an average Friday night for you?!”

Arthur responds with a bit of a teasing tone.

“I'm a hunter, I deal with the paranormal and get rid of them. If you actually read my folder-”

“Yeah yeah I know, if I read your damn folder I would know that you can kill Casper the not so friendly ghost” I said with a hint of sarcasm.

“So what are we going to do with this…thing?”

“Don’t worry junebug I got this under control” Arthur pulls out a gun. It was a revolver with sigils carved into the handle. Before I could ask what on earth a bullet is gonna do to a ghost he already shot it right in between its eyes. Nathaniel’s vengeful spirit fell to its knees and then to the ground. It turned into a pile of smoke and ash as soon as it made contact. Arthur looked completely unfazed by everything that just happened. He turned to me and could see the blatant confusion on my face.

“The bullets are filled with gun powder and salt. Anything paranormal hates the stuff, it has the same effect as holy water” Arthur walked out of the sigils and turned to me expecting me to do the same. I started to head out of the corner but I bumped into that same forcefield that was supposed to be protecting me. My heart sank as the realization hit me. I placed my hands on it, a light blue glow appeared under my hand.

“I knew it!”

“Knew what?!?!” I yelled with a shaky tone.

“ you're a medium! Haha i can't believe i did the tracking spell right”

“...Tracking spell?”

Arthur pulled out a small white crystal on a string from his pocket. As soon as it got out it glowed white and it pointed to me. I could barely wrap my mind about the fact that a ghost almost killed us and now I was finding out that I am one of those people that can see the dead.

“I'm like that thing that tried to kill us?”

“Oh no, You aren't exactly like it but you both are paranormal beings. Hmm think about it as if you're just a superhero and one of your powers it to see the undead”

Arthur said it as if it was a good thing and it turned my fear into anger.

“Just get me out of here, Steel…NOW!”

“I will geez no need to yell” Arthur bends down and rubs the chalk off of the floor. I stepped out and shoved Arthur.

“The whole time you knew. THE WHOLE FUCKING TIME!”

“Hey calm down Junebug! In my defense I thought you already knew.” Arthur said. He didn't expect me to push him. Hell he didn't expect me to be mad. Arthur wasn't the one I was mad at. I was mad that my whole life I was completely sane. I never needed those damn pills and all those years of being in and out of psychiatric institutions for hallucinations was for nothing. I knew that Arthur could see that. He got up and gave me an understanding look.

“I have an idea of what you’re going through…” He took a deep breath. “Back in the war when I was overseas, a wraith attacked me. It almost killed me but my lieutenant saved my ass and then he told me that there are beings not like us…you’re taking this pretty well when I found out I was a complete mess, I was balling my eyes out and everything... Just know that you’re not alone.” He rested his hand on my shoulder trying to comfort me. I took a deep breath and a step back trying to calm myself. I didn't know what to say. I was taken aback by the look on Arthur’s face, people have looked at me with pity or down right disgust. But no one has ever gazed at me like that, with such empathy. It scared me when I realized the effect this man had on me, I was tearing up for god sake. I secretly tried to wipe the forming tears away. I suppose he's right. He's the only person I know that has a glimpse of what I'm going through. I pent up all the emotions that were riling up in me and attempted to act just like how I did before I entered this damn hotel.

“I guess I may have overreacted a bit. I'm sorry for pushing you”

“It's ok, Junebug ...If you don't mind me asking why did you take so long to realize that you're a medium? What I hear that most powers develop in childhood”

I should have known that he would ask more questions, I sighed and tried to remember back when I was younger.

“Fine i'll tell you, but you must promise me that you'll never tell anyone. Not even Jessica…”

“Don't worry, Junebug. I won't tell a soul”

“When I was born my mother started to lose it, on my 6th birthday she had a psychotic break. She was screaming about people with disfigured faces, my father had no other choice but to send her to an asylum. It was obvious that it broke his heart ,so when I started to tell him that I could see the monsters in the closet he instantly feared that whatever was wrong with my mother got passed on to me…the next thing I knew I was given pills and talking to doctors. After a while I stopped seeing things. Most of my childhood memories are pretty blurry now because of the medication”

“Jesus…I'm sorry you had to go through that Juno” I hate it when people say that. I wanted to change the topic before I got that same old pitty filled look. “It's not a big deal, now enough being sappy we need to focus on the reason why we're here in the first place. Is there anything else that you know about the victim?”

“umm..Sure Junebug. Nathaniel would regularly perform at a nightclub named The Last Drop nightclub. According to some witnesses they said that was the last time he was seen alive.”

“Well I guess we will be headed there next”

I turned to the door but Arthur called my name. I faced him.

‘What is it, Arthur?”

“Here you have to touch the amulet again”

Arthur said. I was so confused on why I had too.

“There is no way i'm touching that thing again with my bare hand”

“Trust me Junebug. Just touch it. Or do you still want to see the world in black and white?” he beamed. I just rolled my eyes and with a bit of a trembling hand I grabbed the amulet. I was hit with that familiar sense of vertigo and got a bit of a headache. The color quickly returned to my vision.

“Am I still glowing?” He with a teasing tone.

“...You knew what this thing did, didnt you?”

“Maybe haha. I knew that this type of amulet has some supernatural abilities because of the sigil on the back of it.” As Arthur explained it I turned the piece of jewelry over and saw the marking.

“I didn't know that it would have that effect on you. I just had a hunch that if you touched it again you would go back to normal” As I put the amulet in my coat pocket, I felt my pill bottle in there. I took it out and looked at it. I sighed and threw it in the trash can that was in the room. I turned to Arthur.

“Ok, let's go.”

“Yeah lets. You know I'm glad that you're back to normal but it's a bit of a shame, your eyes were a really pretty shade of purple” Arthur said with a smug smile on his face as he walked out of the room.

“What?...My eyes turned purple?!” I asked as I followed him.

Chapter 3: “Who the hell is making a ruckus at my nightclub?”

We had to drive to the other side of the city to get to the nightclub, the sun was starting to set and the city lights lit up the road. We didn’t know when this vampire would strike again so time wasn’t on our side. The Last Drop nightclub was where people forget about the hardship of life and indulge in the supposed ‘finer things’ like insanely strong alcohol that could make you throw up after the second shot and drugs that could convince you that you're about to enter a different dimension. I had a bit of knowledge of that place. It was considered dead for years after the owner named Mr Bouchard stopped appearing in public until recent years it has started to boom in popularity.

We got out of Arthur’s rundown car and headed to the entrance. There was a tall rugged man guarding the main door. Before Arthur and I could enter the building the bouncer blocked the door, I reached for my old badge but before I could show it to the man he said.

“No cops allowed in the nightclub without a permit.”

I quickly put away my badge. “Well…technically I’m not a cop”

Arthur quickly came to the rescue and stepped in in an effort to make up for my horrible lying.

“Hey, we're not cops, we're just here to enjoy ourselves with some good drinks and jazz , that is all” Arthur said with that same charming smile.

“I said you can't enter without a permit” The man was not budging. I could tell that Arthur was trying to think of a way to sweet talk our way in.

“Come on, I know the owner just let us in.”

Arthur took a step forward but the bouncer shoved Arthur back.

“Get lost.” I may not be the best at talking things out but I'm sure as hell good at resolving my problems with violence . I got in between Arthur and the bouncer. “Don't you dare lay your hands on my partner. We just want to ask a few- '' I hissed back but in a flash The bouncer punched me in the gut knocking the wind out of me for a second. Then we started to argue and yell at each other. Tensions were running high. I could tell that he was gonna strake another blow and I wasn't having it.

“That’s fucking it” I pulled out my gun and pointed at the bounser and he proceed to do the same. A few of the people outside waiting to get into the nightclub screamed. Arthur tried to calm me down but there was no way I was going to let this man talk to us like that. A voice broke through the chaos.

“Who the hell is making a ruckus at my nightclub?” Everyone got quiet and I quickly put away my gun. The voice came from a tall person with short curly hair and messy makeup. They were also wearing a slip dress with a big fur coat while holding a theater cigarette holder with smoke coming out of it.

“...your nightclub?...You're Mr bouchard?” I asked then Arthur gently shoved me as if telling me to be quiet.

“Not anymore sweetheart, Now what the hell is happening?" The bouncer whispered to them all about what just happened. They nodded a bit then took a long smoke of their cigar. “So why do you want to talk to my girls?” They asked me as they blew smoke into my face. I noticed all the other people looking at us. “Look can we talk about this somewhere more-”

“Arthur darling is that you?” before I could finish my sentence they cut me off. They rushed over and gave Arthur a hug which Arthur reciprocated with a smile.

“I was waiting for you to notice me, Mercury haha I was starting to think you forgot about me”

“Oh how could I forget someone with such a handsome face like yours” They purred as they gently grabbed Arthur’s face, almost examining it. I rolled my eyes out of annoyance.

“Can we please discuss this inside?” I tried my best to not sound irritated. “Oh of course, let's go boys come inside” They headed inside as Arthur and I followed. The nightclub was dim and dark with the only well lit areas being the bar and the stage with a band playing sweet jazz. There were patrons sitting at tables surrounding the stage enjoying themselves. Waitresses wearing slip dresses and having neat hair serving the customers' drinks. At the corners of the room were large tables where powerful people would usually ‘talk business’. It looked like your standard New York nightclub. Mercury was leading the way through the dark. I whispered to Arthur.

“How the hell do you know the owner of this place?” Arthur chuckled and responded. “They needed help getting rid of the ghost of their mother in law from an old vanity that they took. It was surprisingly really hard, she was a very stubborn woman” I nodded my head a bit but I could still see that same old dumb smirk on Arthur’s face. I just had to give in and ask. “What is it?”

“You called me ‘your partner’ earlier when you were arguing with the bouncer. I thought we weren't partners, Junebug” He teased

“We’re not, it just slipped out of my tongue. Don't dwell on it too much, don't want you to get a bigger ego.” Arthur laughed then gently nudged me. “Are you sure I'm not growing on you? I think we're becoming friends”

“absolutely not keep dreaming Steel”

“Oh Junebug, you have wounded me with your cruel words” Arthur said with a playful dramatic tone. I couldn't help but chuckle a bit and crack a small smile.

“Did you just smile? Wow Junebug i dont think ive ever seen you laugh let alone smile. I didn't know you could even do that. Im probably the first person to make you smile”

“Don't flatter yourself i'm just laughing at how stupid you look right now”

Arthur was about to respond with a witty comment but Mercury chimed in.

“Here, sit boys” They led us to one of those big tables located near the back of the nightclub. Out of everyone's sight, except for Mercury’s bodyguards. I knew that they were just a safety precaution, not because of Arthur of course but me. That was understandable so I didn't make a big deal out of it. Mercury obviously trusted Arthur more so I let him take the reins on this.

“So what do you boys need from me”

“Well Mercury, where here just to ask a few questions that's all”

“Hmm, Questions about what? You know I'm not involved with any “deals” that happen in my establishment” Mercury gave me a wary glance. Arthur looked at me asking if he should tell them everything about the case. I nodded, there was no point in lying to them.

“You know about the recent murders, Juno and I have reason to believe that a vampire is responsible for them, as you are aware there are supernatural beings that live among us so this isn't much of a surprise. The recent victim was Nathaniel Goldsmith, he was last seen alive here, we just need to question some of your staff to see who Nathaniel was last seen with” Mercury sat in silence for a second taking another long smoke. “That's a shame, It really is…All right. You two can go backstage and ask my girls and the performers all the questions you want. If there is a small chance that a vampire is still here I dont want it to hurt them.”

“Yes thank you, I promise that we will handle that monster…can we ask you some questions please” Arthur asked with a sweet smile. They nodded their head.

“You know everyone that works here, what was Nathaniel's relationship with the people here? Is there someone that might have wanted to harm him?”

“Hmm well my girls weren't very fond of him. He always pestered them, practically begging one of them to go out with him. And don't get me started on that man’s drinking problem. Of course the man had talent but his character was god awful. I couldn't stand to be in the same room with him. Some of the performers tolerated him, I have no idea how they would have handled it with the man’s ego…” So basically anyone was a suspect. An Arrogant alcoholic that would regularly harass the female staff then got murdered in a hotel room with two glasses of alcohol and the man was in the process of getting undressed. Our vampier is most likely a woman that works here or regularly visits. I glanced at all the waitresses, any of them could be the one we’re looking for.

“Can you give us the names of the people that would regularly interact with Nathaniel?” I questioned

“Well he hung out a lot with the band, Simon, Mick and Eiffel. They usually got drinks together after a gig. Catherine Crimson. She's an absolute doll, she has the voice of an angel I tell you. Those two usually do a lot of duets together. And finally Sasha and Melanie, Those two would get him ready for performances, you know like doing his hair and stuff. I would always hear them laughing and cracking jokes with each other ”

“Ok thank you Mercury for this information, where can we enter backstage?”I asked

“Just enter the doors that are next to the stage, Good luck boys”

Arthur and I left Mercury at the table as we headed to interrogate some of the staff members. Arthur asked “So has your detective brain narrowed down the suspects, Junebug?”

“I think so, The suspect is most likely a woman that had close ties to the victim, so the band is out of the question.” We entered backstage. It was a completely different atmosphere compared to the calmness of the outside. There was this controlled chaotic feeling in the air, some people speed walking to places they needed to go, others in costumes looking for the finishing piece for their outfit. If you didn't know where you were supposed to go, you would most definitely get trampled. Arthur and I stood there for what felt like hours just finding the right time to walk through this mess. As I was looking over this sea of people there was a short lady standing on a stool with a clipboard in hand yelling at people to hurry up. She's probably our best bet to find out where our suspects are. I took Arthur’s hand and guided him through the river of performers as we headed toward the woman.

“Hello madam I have a few questions about-”

“What?! What do you want, kid? Can you see I'm busy?! Come on spit it out I don't have all day” She snapped back, Arthur and I were a bit taken aback by this.

“Do you know where Sasha, Melanie and Catherine might be?”

“That’s all?! What do I look like to you? Do you think I know where everyone is every second of the night?!...Well you would be right. Little miss Catherine is in her dressing room getting all dolled up and the other two girls are in the costume room helping our onstage girls to get ready. Take a right and there's Catherine’s dressing room and down the hall is the costume room. Is that all you two bugged me for?”

“Yes madam, we appreciate your help” Arthur beamed. We took the lady’s direction and headed to the closest room that happened to be Catherine's dressing room. We stood in front of her door, I began to knock on it to get her attention. A few seconds passed before a short woman with long flowy dark red hair. She was wearing a nice pretty red dress.

“Can I help you gentleman?” Catherine said with a sweet voice.

“Hello Miss Catherine, we just wanted to ask you a few questions about your duet partner Nathaniel,” Arthur said.

“Oh dear what happened?”She gasped as she covered her mouth with her hand.

“Unfortunately he was murdered, we want to find out who was the last person he spoke with”

“That's terrible, just terrible…Alright I’ll try to be of much help”

“Thank you, When was the last time you saw Nathaniel alive?” I stepped into the conversation. She nodded and replied.

“The last time I saw him was last week, We just finished singing a duet like always. He asked me if I wanted to get a drink with him but I nicely declined his advances. I could tell that he didn't take that well and stormed off to the costume room to drink his bottle of wine that was left in there. After that I went into my dressing room. That's all I know” She didn't go with Nathaniel to the hotel, He might have asked Sasha or Melanie to go with him.

“That's okay, we appreciate any information you can give us. Well we’ll be off to question the other staff.” I asked as she nodded a bit.

“I really wish you two luck,” She closed her door. There is only one more place we need to go to get all the pieces to finish this puzzle. As we walked down the hall to head to the costume room I put my hand in my coat pocket feeling the chain of the powerful amulet. I pulled it out and looked at it. What if I could see who the vampire is with its help? In the corner of my eye I could see that Arthur had the same idea. I touched the ruby colored stone with my hand.That same familiar feeling washed over me, I leaned against Arthur a bit trying to push through the feeling. As I opened my eyes the world looked dead like the last time this happened.

“Junebug are you okay?”

“Yeah…don’t worry, Arthur” I looked at the people passing the hall and they all had that similar glowing orb in their chest like Arthur has. Suddenly a waitress quickly passed through the people to head to the exit door at the other side of the hallway. as I glimpsed at her I noticed that her orb was pitch black.

“Her.”

“What?! Who???” Without a second thought I grabbed Arther’s hand once again and tried to push through. She noticed that we spotted her and now she's on the run.

“Her! The girl with the short black bobbed hair that's headed for the fucking exit”

Arthur looked for the target I was referring to. He got on the same page as me and we both started the chase. I pushed the exit door wide open and was met with the crisp cold air on my face. The vampire quickly took a sharp turn into an alleyway.

“Junebug, wait!”

I completely ignored Arthur’s warning and was completely blind sided. All I could think about was that I needed to catch that vampire. I followed her. I made it into the alleyway but she wasn't there, as if she disappeared.

“I know what you are! Come out!!” I yelled, my voice echoing off of the walls. Arthur quickly followed and placed his hand on my shoulder “Juno stop, how do you plan on taking down a vampire in the first place!? We don't even have a stake to kill it with” He was right, I hated that he was right.I walked deeper into the narrow alleyway and stood there for what felt like forever. I sighed then turned to face Arthur, before a word could come out of my mouth I felt something fall on top of me and slammed my head against the cold floor. That same ringing in my ears came back, the already gray world turned hazy and I could feel something dripping on my face. The next thing I knew I was pinned to the floor with the vampire’s hand on the back of my neck. I accidentally dropped the amulet on the floor. The marking on the back of it was showing.

“WHY DO YOU HAVE THE BLOOD STONE?!” She screeched loud enough for it to overcome the ringing sound. She recognized the amulet but she didn't know it was missing? She wasn't the one that killed Nathaniel. She didnt work alone. I tried to think about who could be tied to this stone but the pain in my chest was too much. She was stronger than she looked, I could feel the pressure of her weight on my ribs. I was convinced that one of them was at least bruised. I could feel her sharp claws pirsing my skin, not deep enough to kill but just enough to draw blood. I could feel her squeezing down on my neck out of nowhere, Arthur grabbed a random broom that was on the floor and hit her with it. The broom snapped in half as it made contact with her face. She grabbed the end of the broom that Arthur was holding and hissed at him. I could see the rows of sharp teeth in her mouth, Almost appearing like the inside of a leech’s mouth but with two big prominent fangs sticking out. In a second she swung to the right, throwing Arthur into a brick wall. The vampire knocked the wind out of me as she jumped off of me and lunged at Arthur, quickly pinning him to the wall and stabbing his chest with her claws. Slowly moving her hand down drenching Arthur’s white button up with his own blood. Arthur tried to hold back his screams. He tried to stab her with the piece of the broom he had but she disarmed him easily. She opened her mouth and was getting ready to bite Arthur’s neck. As the world stopped spinning and I managed to catch my breath, with a trembling hand I got up and grabbed the other piece of the broom and while she was distracted I plunged it to her heart. She shrieked in pain as she got off of Arthur. Falling to the ground while holding her chest muttering

“No no no no no, One day you humans will feel the end of days, soon, SOON, the Ancilles of the crimson Hiereiai will rule!” steaming black tar was pouring out the wound and from her mouth. Her skin began to wrinkle and decay, in a matter of seconds she was nothing but a sack of bones. I quickly put pressure on Arthur's injuries to stop the bleeding, I couldn't stop staring at it and felt immense guilt. He told me to wait, to stop but I was just so caught up in my own desires to realize the danger I was putting us in. As I was in my thoughts I felt Arthur hand lightly brush against my bleeding head, I winced at the touch.

“I'm fine Arthur, I need to get you back to the office. I have a aid kit there”

“You most likely have a concussion and not to mention your neck is still bleeding…I'll drive us back don't worry Junebug '' Even now that we're both badly hurt in some dingy alleyway Arthur still managed to give me that dumb smirk. I hesitated for a moment then nodded my head in agreement. I took off my coat and tied it around Arhtur’s gashes to keep pressure on it. Before we left I picked up the amulet and in an instant the color returned. I held Arthur close to help him get to the car. On the drive back all I could think about was two things, who are the Ancilles of the crimson Hiereiai? And that I need to keep Arthur safe.

Chapter 4: “I am not a vessel for your good intent!”

As soon as we entered the office Jessica was there at her desk with piles of papers and news clippings. She glanced up at us as she was talking, she didn't expect us to be this hurt. “Hey guys how was- MY GOD WHAT HAPPENED?!” She quickly got out from behind her desk and headed to the storage room. “I’ll get the first aid kit!” I helped Arthur to the couch that was in the corner of the room. I took off his shirt, he had 5 deep gashes starting at his chest and ending at his stomach. It was still bleeding a bit. His body had a few bad scars here and there, I assume that he got them during his time in the war, it was obvious this isn't Arthur’s first time getting this hurt.

“You think the scar is gonna look cool?” Arthur joked a bit, I know he was just trying to lighten the mood but I couldn't help but feel responsible for all of this. I whispered and said under my breath.

“...I'm sorry..” Arthur couldn't quite hear what I muttered and before he could ask me to repeat myself Jessica came in with the med kit and started to take out all the things we needed.

“Mr Reed what the hell did the two of you even do?!” Jessica interrogated me as I started to clean Arthur’s wounds.

“A vampire attacked us. I guess you were right…”

She gave me a look as if telling me ‘I told you so’. She got a wet rag and started to clean the cuts on my neck. I hissed in pain and moved away.

“I’m fine”

“Bullshit, Stay still Mr’Reed” I huffed and just let her fix me up. I couldn't help but think about who the Ancilles of the crimson Hiereiai were as I started to bandage Arthur up. “The vampire recognized the amulet, She's definitely not working alone. There’s probably more vampires at the nightclub so tomorrow I should head back alone”

“No.” Arthur said with a stern tone which confused me.

“What do you mean no? We’re so close I can feel it. You're too hurt to go with me and there's no chance in hell i'm taking Jessica ”

“We could barely take one vampire, what makes you think that you could manage to kill one by yourself!? Junebug we’re both hurt, I can go with you. The cuts aren't that bad, i've had worse”

“No, you're staying here and that's final, I don't need your help Steel!”

At this point I could tell that Jessica was starting to get enough of us yelling at each other “Shut up! You two aren't gonna do shit, take a break. You two are way too stubborn and reckless for your own good” She said as she finished wrapping my head and neck with bandages, then grabbed the used towels that are soaked in blood and headed to the bathroom to get clean ones, leaving Arthur and I alone.

“I just want to help, I don't want to see my friend get torn to shreds by vampires ”

Why does he care so much? He only has known me for a day, That's it. It was my fault that he almost got killed. I can't let someone die on my watch, not again.

“We aren't friends, How many times ive had to tell you that! I've never needed friends and I sure as hell don't need some now!”

“God why can't you just allow yourself to let others help you!? Juno please. I know we've only known each other for a short period of time but I feel like you're the only person that just gets me, that has to deal with all of this . Just let me fucking help you!”

“ You don't know who the hell I am!” I snapped back but I could tell that Arthur wasn't going to back down.

“I want to know! I want to be there by your side!” Arthur pleaded as he put his hand on my shoulder, I couldn't look him in the eyes. This was for his own good. Everyone that ends up being close to me always gets hurt, so I must push Arthur away no matter how much it pains me to do so. I pushed his hand off of my shoulder and stood up “I know you mean so well…but I am not a vessel for your good intent, Steel!”

“Don't say that, you're a good person deep down, behind that heartless detective facade you always put up. No matter how hard you try to push me away I'll always come back!”

“Then you're a complete and utter idiot with a death wish!!” I turned and headed for the door, Arthur stood up from the couch holding his bandaged chest.

“Juno Stop, you're gonna get yourself killed!”

“That would be better than staying another second here with you!!”

After I said that I slammed the door. It started to drizzle outside…Great. I walked down the dark lonely sidewalk waiting for the opportunity to flag down a cab. A few minutes of walking and I managed to catch one, I opened the car’s yellow door and went in.

“Where are you headed, sir?”

“The Last Drop Nightclub…” When I finally arrived back I just walked in and headed backstage. I'm assuming at this point the other vampire noticed the dead body at the back of the building so most likely will be trying to keep a low profile. I'll start where I left off, on my way to the costume room I bumped in with Catherine.

“My dear what happened” She gasped, I sighed and tried to act as if I was fine. “I'm alright, Miss, trust me” She shook her head no and gently took my hand “Oh no, no come with me, in my dressing room I have something that can sooth the pain” She smiled softly as she led me to her room. I tried to protest but I just didn't have the willpower to do so. As we went in she sat me down on a chair in front of her vintage vanity. “Here darling have a seat…poor thing, you really took a beating” She opened a drawer and searched for the medication. “So where is your partner? Arthur was his name right ? I hope he's ok”

“He's…fine, I decided that it would be better if he stayed behind this time” I kept looking at my reflection, studying all my features, noticing the white streak in my hair and eyebrow how it blended with my black hair. How tired I looked with my deep eyebags. I sat there for what felt like hours,an endless loop of being stuck in my own mind, just spiraling. It all felt so surreal, I could hear Catherine speaking to me but it was all hazy then it hit me…We never told her our names…

“Ah, here they are.” In her hand she had my anti hallucinogenic medication that I threw away back at the hotel. My mind started to race. I tried to reach my hand out to take the bottle but I couldn't move. My breathing quickened and my heartbeat elevated.

“What’s wrong Juno? You look like you've seen a ghost”

“How…how did you get that?...How do you know my name?” I muttered, she gently tapped my forehead with her finger and I felt a rush of fervor overwhelm me. I wanted to scream, yell, do something but my body wasn't my own, at least my mind was still whole. She looked at me with a sense of curiosity, as if she was expecting something else to happen.

“ Juno, What do you desire the most?” Her voice echoed in the walls of my mind, feeling as if a hand was reaching into my subconscious pulling out feelings and thoughts I didn't know I even possessed. I couldn't even speak, She peered into my eyes as if she was reading my thoughts. She chuckled a bit.

“How interesting…not what I expected but I can work with that” she delicately grabbed my chin and smiled. “You're very powerful, you know that? A normal human mind would turn into putty just by looking into my eyes but you, you're still completely aware. Surprisingly I have to actually try to keep you from breaking free…now this new information requires me to add a few…modifications to my plan but that's alright, you're too perfect to let go” She sounded so nice and sweet as he said that. I tried to move but all I could do was to make my hands tremble.

“Oh don't worry darling, I'm not gonna hold you forever…just long enough until it's too late to…well I don't want to ruin the surprise haha” She patted my cheek and then walked to the door.

“See you soon Juno” She winked at me then closed the door behind her. I continued struggling to move any part of my body but I failed miserably. It felt like I was trapped on that chair for hours but looking at the clock on the wall only 20 minutes passed. My arms were feeling sore then I realized I could slowly push out the amulet from my pocket and touch it with my forearm. I moved my arm inch by inch trying to move it upwards,after a long 10 minutes I managed to make it so that half of the red jewel was poking out. I touched it and as predicted I was free, I fell out of the chair landing on my hands and knees gasping for air. I touched it again so that my eyes would stop having a purple hue to them. I had to tell the others. I rushed out of the Nightclub and into the now pouring cold rain. There was too much traffic to call for a cab so my only option was to run back to the office. The ice cold rain felt as if it was tearing my skin but I didn't care, all that was on my mind was to make it to Arthur and Jessica. When I arrived at the door of the office I was completely out of breath, I went to turn the knob of the door but I hesitated. Remembering all the things I said to Arhthur kept rushing through my brain. I took a deep breath and prayed that he wouldn't punch me as soon as I opened the door. My heart dropped at the sight of the office , it looked as if a fight broke out, paper and blood on the floor, a bookshelf broken and Jessica with a blindfold over her eyes as she's tied to a chair.

“Who’s that?! Get away! I don't know where he is!” She cried out. I rushed over to her and took off her blindfold.

“Jessica it's me!” I quickly reassured, My hands were trembling and she could hear the panic in my voice.

“Mr.Reed!?!?”

“Yes, Its me…Jessica what happened, Where is Arthur”

“They took him! The vampires broke in and Arthur and I tried to fight them off…They told us that they kidnapped you and they said that if Arthur came willingly they wouldn't kill you!” Her voice shook as she spoke. Of course he would do something that stupid and reckless to save me.

“Damn it Arthur…Do you know where they are?”

Jessica nodded. “You know that creepy abandoned mansion in the outskirts of town? They took Arthur there, I'm pretty sure it's a trap!”

“Oh it's definitely a trap…It's fine I'll save that idiot…even if it kills me” I grabbed my coat and a silver knife from Jessica's knife collection and headed for the door. “Mr. Reed, where are you going?! aren't you gonna free me!?” Jessica shouted at me. “I'm not gonna risk losing another friend to those damn vampires …I'm sorry Jessica”

“What!? Mr.Reed!! Damnit Juno!!! Come back here and free me!!!” She yelled as I took Arthur’s car keys that he left on the desk and walked out of the office.

Chapter 5: “It's a pleasure for you to join us darling”

I got into Arthur’s god awful car and drove to the vampire's den. When I arrived it was midnight. I tried to plan out how I would handle this, they knew that I was coming so sneaking in would be difficult, not to mention I was playing on their turf. They probably knew the grounds like the back of their hands. Also I don't know how many of them are in there, obviously the chances of me getting out of this alive was slim. Good thing I'm used to those odds. My main goal was to save my partner and get out without dying, Simple enough. The amulet is the only thing that could protect me from the vampire's mind control. I touched it one last time to activate my powers then I left it in a compartment in the car because there's no way I would let them get this amulet back.

I got out and made my way to the ominous building. I found an open window in the side of the mansion, the lights were off so sneaking in there is probably my best bet. The air was colder from the inside, as I walked around I could hear my footsteps echoing, It sounded as if the room was pretty big. I kept walking for what felt like a while.

“It's a pleasure for you to join us darling” That familiar voice scared me to my core. As soon as the words were spoken all the candles in the room set alight revealing that I was standing in the middle of a giant ballroom with a giant table in front of a wall covered with what seemed like hundreds of deer mounts on it with a big one above a lit fireplace. The table had a feast of food on it, the more I looked at it the more I realized that the food was made of human meat. Finally there were vampires sitting at the table looking at me with hungry eyes while Catherine stood in the middle. I quickly pulled out the silver knife and pointed it at her.

“Where the hell is my partner?!” I shouted but all she did was give me this condescending look.

“Aww ain't that sweet, You care so much for a man you just met. unfortunately dear you're a little too late”

“What the hell do you mean?” I tried my best trying to keep my emotions at bay.

“Dont worry dear, he was a lot of help! Without him we wouldn't have had this feast before us tonight” My heart sank as I glanced back at the food…that's Arthur. I felt sick to my stomach as I noticed that my hands began to tremble. “Hmmm do you smell that my loves, the fear and sorrow radiating off of our little sacrifice here”

This heartsick feeling turned into rage.

“YOU SICK MONSTERS!!” I screamed with tears in my eyes as I tried to stab Catherine but two vampires that appeared behind me held my arms making me drop the silver knife. “NO NO NO DAMMIT LET ME GO YOU BASTARDS!!!” Catherine just looked amused at the sight of me struggling. “That's no way to treat someone that has opened her home to you, that's not how your mother taught you” She's been in my head. She knows everything, absolutely everything. I started to tremble as I spoke out. “STOP…SHUT YOUR MOUTH, DO NOT MENTION MY MOTHER!!!”

“All the pain and suffering in your soul is absolutely delicious, I’m sure our god would love to devour you…I’m truly sorry..I know you didn't want to lose another partner, who was that bright eyed rookie you got paired up with when you were still with the NYPD? Ah yes Cecil Warren right, such a shame what happened to him. Thank you for being the key to the new world” I wasn't even listening to what she was saying at that point. She was right. All this is my fault, I was the one that got Cecil killed, I got Arthur killed and now I'm gonna bring the end of all days. I knew it was useless but I still tried to get out of the vampire's grasp.

“What? You don't have anything to say? All that fire in your eyes and you can't even utter a single word. What a shame, ladies can you please be a dear and hook him up on the altar ” She ordered, the two vampires nodded their heads and did what she asked. There was this wall of stone with two leather straps to hold my arms down. On the edges of the stone were markings engraved in it. On the floor were 6 bowls and a big sigil drawn with charcoal around the whole thing. The vampires tied me down as Catherine had a pleased smile on her face.

“What the hell are you going to do to me!?” I yelled and that just made her chuckle.

“Well if you must know we’re gonna drain your blood and draw a summoning sigil with it, then cut you open and put all of your organs in those bowls there and finally feed your soul to our god so that they can have enough power to crossover to us and bring the end of all…but we can't do that…not yet” She patted my cheek then grabbed my face digging her claws into it while looking at me with that sweet smile. “Where is the amulet Juno?...I know you have it, your eyes are a dead giveaway”

“I threw it away” I knew that the amulet was important, I couldn't let them know that it's right outside of the mansion. She looked a bit annoyed at my response. “Come on Juno I know you're an idiot but you're not brainless to do something like that. Tell me where it is..Or do I need to ask that cute assistent of yours”

“Don't you dare hurt her!!...I don't know where it is and neither does she I swear!!” She lets go of my face and thinks for a second. Catherine snaps her fingers and one of the vampires that was sitting at the table runs at her side, Catherine whispers something in her ear. The vampire nods her head and takes two other vampires with her then leaves the ballroom.

“Sooner or later the ritual will continue and the end will arrive and we-” unexpectedly a loud explosion sound could be heard in the west side of the mansion. All the vampires went silent and gave nervous glances to each other. They all waited for Catherine to give them orders.

“Don't be alarmed my loves, I assure you it's nothing” She ordered a small group of vampires to go investigate what caused the sound. As soon as the group of vampires left another explosion could be heard this time in the south side of the mansion. The vampires became more fearful. Catherine looked at me and hissed.

“What is this?”

“You think I have something to do with this?!” I snapped back, She ordered two vampires to watch me as she took the rest of the vampires to see what's going on.“Why is this guy so special?” the shorter vampire asked as she got right in my face studying me. “He's like a powerful medium or something” The other vampire responded. The smaller one smirked and said with an excited tone.

“What if we messed with him a bit! Please Jane, it would be fun!” The taller vampire sighed and nodded her head. The other one squealed happily and ran back to the table and picked up what seemed like a heart. My blood went cold as I began to wonder what she was gonna do with that. When she came back, she got close to me and held Arther’s heart closer to my face.

“Open wide! Don't you wanna have a tased of your partner’s heart haha”

Before it got too close a sound could be heard outside of the main entrance of the ballroom. We all froze for a second and waited for something to happen.

“Jane go see what it is…please”

“Abigail…you’re 200 years old and you're still scared of loud sounds…fine i'll go look at it, it's probably just a mouse or something” Jane goes out of the ballroom. Abigail returned her attention to me and giggled “So where were we? Ahh yes you were about to take a bite of this yummy heart haha” I quickly shut my mouth and looked away. She grabbed my face. “Come on, it's not that bad” she teased as she pressed the heart onto my cheek, I kept my eyes and mouth closed, out of the blue I heard a loud gasp and then gagging sounds. I quickly opened my eyes and saw black goo pouring out of Abigail's mouth. She fell on her side with a piece of wood in her back. I quickly looked back up and I couldn't believe who I saw.

“...Arthur?...” I said with a shaky voice

“Hey Junebug” he gave me that familiar dumb smirk I missed so much. I couldn't help but smile as he started to get rid of the restraints on my wrists.

“I thought that they killed you, How are you even alive!?”

“They just kept me in a cage, that's all” Arthur had a bunch of bruises and cuts all over his body, he had a piece of fabric on his bloody neck and arm. Once I got one hand free and gently touched Arthur’s face. “I'm sorry” Arthur smiled a bit then chuckled. “No, you save that sorry for when we get out of here alive, then you say all the sorrys you want over a couple rounds of beer” Arthur joked which made me laugh a bit. He was right, this is no place to start feeling self pity. Arthur was almost done freeing my other hand as a voice thundered through the ballroom.

“YOU, This was YOUR doing!” Catherine dropped her sweet act and was completely infuriated. She started to run towards us. Unexpectedly Someone threw a silver knife at Catherine’s face, hitting her in the eye causing her to screech in pain . I looked up at the balcony and saw Jessica.

“JESSICA?!?!” I yelled as Arthur finally freed me and then took my hand, we ran towards the main entrance. We locked the door behind us and then Jessica came down the stairs to meet Arthir and I. Before I could get a word in, Jessica shoved me.

“How could you just leave me behind like that?! I had to break my favorite chair to free myself, Juno!” Then she pulled me into a hug. Like Arthur she was also pretty beat up. “I'm glad you're ok…” Then a loud banging can be heard from the otherside of the ballroom door.

“I'M GONNA RIP YOUR EYES OUT AND FEED THEM TO YOU!!!!” The three of us jumped back and decided that we should get out. We ran around the mansion to look for the main entrance but the more we ran the more it became harder to breathe. The halls started to get filled up with smoke. We did have to fight one or two vampires on our way, once we arrived the whole area was blocked off by a wall of fire.

“Great who’s idea was to set up two bombs to blow up an OLD mansion mostly made out of WOOD” I looked at Arthur and Jessica but they both looked guilty. I sighed and thought about other ways we could get out of this mess.

“We could get out of a window,” Arthur suggested. Jessica and I agreed but to our surprise most of the windows were completely boarded up or were completely inaccessible due to the structure of the old mansion falling apart. The fire kept spreading and we were running out of places to go. Most of the vampires died in the fire or they just rushed past us in an effort to save themselves. It was getting harder to breathe and too hot to even think straight. “...When I was in the upstairs of the ballroom there was a balcony and right outside was a big lake! We could jump into the lake!” Jessica gasped trying not to inhale the smoke.

“It's risky but it's our only way out…I'm in” Arthur agreed, I nodded my head

“Then it's settled…lets go” We ran back towards the ballroom and headed upstairs. Jessica opened the big glass doors of the balcony taking a deep breath of the cold fresh air. She looked back at us with a bit of nervousness in her eyes. “ok…Here I go…” She stood on the railing as she looked down, She closed her eyes then jumped off. Arthur and I healed our breath hoping that Jessica was alright. A splash echoed, Arthur ran up to the railing and looked down to see if she was ok. Jessica appeared from the water with a gasp. “WOOOO ITS OK!!! COME DOWN!!!” Jessica exclaimed happily. Arthur Laughed then turned to me. “She actually made it! I guess it's my turn” He chuckles. I took a few steps closer to Arthr but in the blink of an eye something tackled me and knocked me off of the second floor and onto the support beams of the ballroom.

“ JUNO!!” Arthur yelled as he ran back into the mansion and leaned against the railing of the second floor. I opened my eyes and saw Catherine pinning me against an old wooden support beam that's right above the table full of human meat. She held me down by my throat, Her left eye was gouged out with black liquid dripping from it. Her hair and dress was a complete mess, ripped and covered in soot and ash. The fire finally touched the ballroom and it was spreading to the second floor. She bared her teeth as she screamed at me.

“YOU'VE RUINED CENTURIES OF PLANNING FOR WHAT?!?! YOU THINK JUST BECAUSE YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS MANAGED TO SLITHER OUT OF MY GRASP MEANS THAT IT'S ALL OVER!? OHH NO I'M NOT GONNA REST UNTIL-” A loud bang cut her off, I looked at Arthur and he had his gun pointed at her. She quickly snapped to face Arthur and growled.

“WHY YOU WORTHLESS WASTE OF SPACE!!” She glared at Arthur in the eyes and said with a calm tone. “Shoot yourself in the head… '' Arthur's expression changed from furious to an uneasy calmness in a matter of seconds. He looked down at his gun then slowly proceeded to point it at his head.

“NOO ARTHUR SNAP OUT OF IT!” I screamed out of fear, I noticed that she was distracted so I kicked her leg making her lose her balance then pushed her off of the piece of wood that we were on. She tried to pull me down with her ,but I grabbed onto the beam at the last second and kicked her off. She landed on the big deer mount above the fireplace, Stabbing her in the heart. She shrieked in pain and fury as that black tar flowed out of all the stab wounds. I was still there hanging on for dear life. Suddenly I felt a hand on mine, I gasped and looked up.

“Let's go, the building is falling apart!” Arthur pulled me up and we ran back to the balcony as the fire surrounded us . As we were standing on the railing I felt Arthur’s hand on mine and looked at me with a reassuring smile. I nodded and took a deep breath.

We jumped. The freezing water stinged as I made contact with it. A few seconds passed as I stayed under the water, there was this pure calmness surrounding me. As I went back to the surface I gasped for air. Arthur was laughing then playfully splashed water on my face.

“We're alive!!! Junebug we made it haha!!!” I Laughed then splashed him back, Arthur stopped and looked a bit nervous as he held his bandaged up neck. “Hey, I need to tell you-” Jessica cut Arthur off and yelled at us from the pond’s shore.

“Hey, what took you two so long? I was getting worried!” Arthur and I swam towards Jessica. “That vampire you stabbed in the eye attacked Junebug…but he took care of it” Arthur patted me on the back. I chuckled a bit.

“Oh my god…Did you just laugh!? Arthur, how did you manage to do that?” Jessica teased as I just rolled my eyes.

“It wasn't that hard, you can still teach old dogs new tricks”

“I'm only 2 years older than you asshole” I said as I playfully shoved Arthur.

“Ok ok calm down boys I've had enough fighting for the day..god I need a drink.” Jessica sighed as she rubbed the back of her neck.

“Ok let's get a round of drinks…my treat” I said as Arthur and Jessica celebrated a bit. We headed to Arthur’s absolutely horrific excuse for a car. We drove away as the abandoned mansion burned to the ground with all of the vampires in it. There was this sense of calmness during the drive. As if a weight has been lifted, but I have a feeling that this won't be the last time we'll encounter things not quite of the norm…I'm sure together we’ll be able to handle it.

Marvel's Secret Invasion is now available to stream so I waited to post all of my current versions of Everett Ross. Of course it's not all about him, but in this house we like to remember him in all the locations he's been found.

A friend said her favorite was his red jumpsuit from Wakanda Forever and I had to agree. Why? Well, because he just has so much (more) potential...

That's kind of lowdown, but it's facts!

Now on to from one Maker to another... What can be said for picture taking tips?

Hmm... I am not an expert at all and I still struggle with lighting, especially indoors -- but I'm finding that black backgrounds are easier to work with than white ones because there's not much shadows one has to work with.

Here I just have a black foam poster board I picked up at my local Dollar Tree and one of my old black window curtains thrown over it. The photo was enhanced with some tweaking via Google's snapseed on my smartphone and the rest is history.

I can't say it enough -- you don't gotta break the bank to make Amigurumi or even photograph it. Just use what you have and put your own spin on things. All of these versions of Everett Ross were made freehand after the base was completed. That's what you do. You create a base and then you add all the details to make them unique -- to make them very much "your" creation.

Remember to have fun, check out Secret Invasion (for all reasons, not just Everett Ross), and as always -- Happy Crocheting! 🙂👍🧶

Who's your favourite dwarf and why?

I didn't expect an ask 👀

I will be dull with an answer and say I can't choose only one dwarf out of them all.

I think it was Bofur at the very first time when me and my sibling saw the movie, because they chose Bombur as their favourite. So I chose the older brother accordingly. I love these two and headcanon them being the most friendliest and kindest towards Bilbo. And their cousin Bifur, I love his black and white braids so much. He is also very funny, kind of an enygmatic character, with "two wolves" inside of him xD Although actor gave him some sad backstory. His fate in Sansukh (I will mention a fanfic, because I really love it) is so upsetting, though I am not yet aware of his canon fate (need to reread many things on English).

Then I thought of Dori. He is described being the strongest among the dwarves of Thorin's Company in the book, and in the movie I think he is supposed to be not the most masculine (I may be wrong at viewing it like this) dwarf, and I love when a character knits mittens and then kicks enemies' asses. He is also a mother hen to his younger brothers, who are also very wonderful. What I love in the movies is how different dwarven characters are. Nori's star-shaped hairstyle though! And funny to think that even after Nori stealing something from Bilbo's house, Bilbo is still friendlier to him than to Lobelia xD And Ori is an adorable and shy young dwarf, watching him on background is a lot of fun (like any other dwarf really, but they all deserved a proper screening time, maybe some of their background stories being brought up...), but now I am thinking of the scene in Moria...

So it leads to Balin. I love his movie version so much, they made him older than Thorin and he probably was like an older brother to both him and Dwalin (to Dwalin a real one asdfghjk), and their handwrittings are so similar, is it easy to guess who was busy teaching Thorin to write xD (maybe?). I love how he interacts with Bilbo too 😭 And Dwalin asdfghjk In the movie he is not the friendliest looking guy, but he is a good guy xD Man loved his cookies. Also for how long he lived asdfghjk My guy, your fam and friends are waiting for you in the Halls of Mahal, hurry up (I am joking of course). I also don't see a lot of people mentioning how he confronted dragonsick Thorin, which probably was so difficult to him, since he was extremelly loyal to his cousin and friend to step up against him.

Oin and Gloin are often forgotten and I am so glad to see bits of fanworks with them. You can see where Gimli got it xD Oin is a pharma guy, I guess it partially works for him to be a healer too (?). I don't mind him being an advanced healer as fandom often describes him. How else were they supposed to go on the quest without a healer? His movie design is wonderful, need to practice drawing him though. And I call Gloin a family guy xD He looks very fierce but in reality a very fond and loving father and husband. Love that. I am glad I can interact with him in LOTRO while he is in Misty Mountains, heh. He talks about his son and about Bilbo 🤗

Kili and Fili, another set of brothers :') They are just silly guys, who sometimes try to copy their uncle (unsuccessfully, thanks Mahal). I guess it is a rule that every Tolkien (movieverse) group should have someone like Merry and Pippin xD How can you not be fond of the boys. Also how Fili is a protective older brother :( And I also like Kili with Tauriel, though I don't like how it was played out in the movie (how could they be so disrespectful towards Tauriel's actress?). Oh, and of course I like Fili and Kili confronting Thorin. As well as the fond scenes with them (dwarven familial head bumps!)

I like movie Thorin. Nice singing voice, bro 👍 Although he is funnier in the book (as well as he is more of a prick), he has his silly moments in the movies too (thanks for them, he should be a silly guy too, not just a majestic and an epic hero) xD Topographagnosia and nearsightedness (probably common for dwarves unless they are in their mountains; also funny not the conditions itselves, of course, but how Thorin still stays overconfident); his exeggerated dislike of elves, although he uses an elven sword, which looks pretty cool actually; and then how he acts around Bilbo in last movies (I don't even know why actor decided to bring this, he is a Tolkien fan who read every bit of lore, but not that I mind, although it is still kinda strange). O, and I like his cartoon version, he is cool.

His papa and grandpa are also cool by the way. But movies (once again! 🧐) did disservice to Thrain! Such a disrespect, and this dwarf had such a bad fate..

Never can't stop being sad over Frerin and Dis 😭 I love how fandom made Dis very similar to Thorin, though she might be much wiser xD But still sad(((

Dain Ironfoot, of course! And his obsession with pigs as pets and steads xD He has a gorgeous beard, sad it had to be cgi-ed because it was too heavy. And I am afraid to mention Sansukh too often 😅 I think this story has a very awesome portrait of Dain. Also sad 😓

And Gimli! So sad they made him exclusively a comic relief in the movies. His eternal friendship (I am tend to broship them more, but I don't really mind the romance too!) with Legolas kind of brings some soft feelings. Also Lego LOTR Gimli is the cutest thing ever 😄

Narvi! Always appreciating Narvi, their (fandom sees this character very variously, which is awesome) bro Celebrimbor and the damn door they've made xD

I will also add Mim. Yes, he is a petty dwarf and kind of an antagonist, but I was rooting for him 😆

Honestly, I'd also name many dwarves from Sansukh, but it is a fanfic, and yeah, there are truly a lot lot of them to list asdfghjl

#replies #ok but also it is needed to be renamed from Throin's Company to Bilbo's dwarves because he was pulling them out of situations too often xD #can I mention my dwarf character from LOTRO? 😆 #I think I wrote more about dwarven relationships with each other rather than about dwarves themselves #I think this is why I don't 'simp' for the character but rather for character's interactions with others I guess #I also like funny sides of the characters #I think I wrote a lot of stupid stuff #but okay #oof #how inconvenient

[annermations]

To those of you in my inbox who asked how I make my comics…

Sorry I didn’t answer earlier, but here we go!

Ideas 💡. I get ideas in many ways: looking at ordinary objects for way to long until a joke hits me, overthinking life until an idea hits you at 3 am, or just beg your friends for ideas because you hit writers block 👍

Once I have an idea, I write it down on notes so I don’t lose the idea. Not every idea will be picked up as you can see…

Once I have an idea, I sketch out a very rough sketch on paper for a general idea of what I want the final to look like.

Yup…

Next step is I draw it out on paint tool sai. (Any drawing app and even paper works of course!)

Depending on the comic, I might want to add a “skeleton”. Here’s an example:

After our skeleton and/ or drawing is complete, you add in the color.

I add a green background just so I know if I’m coloring the entire character or if something was left uncolored.

After color, I add backgrounds.

Being completely honest, this is the step I “hate” the most! It’s very time consuming and the last thing people even pay attention to…

With backgrounds now completed, all that is left is adding the words and white around the borders of the panels.

Done and done.

A lot of work goes into making these comics, and like I’ve said many times before: thanks for reading and enjoying my comics.

Eat your Cereal!

Heyy I’m the anon who wish to do exchange with you .

A drama with Lee Jongsuk: I saw a lot of snow like in the mountains so the drama could have a snowy background or take place in winter. I saw him as a someone who will be more cold towards you at first but then the as the drama progresses he will fall more in love with you (omgg so cute!!) 🥰🥰 for this drama I also see something like a mission?? Like something where you both need to work together to get a job done but I see him reaching out to you first as you could be more knowledgeable about what problem he needs to solve. You seem like a very smart person 👍👍🧠 I also envisioned a scene where he admires your earrings ?!? I’m sorry that’s so random but it’s what I picked up😂😭 maybe you could be really into earrings🥰 I also see you wearing a white dress that could really catch his eye 👀 he really seems to fall really in love with you by the end😭😭😭 like really head over heals but he doesn’t even realise how in love until right till the end 😭😭 and then he finally gets the courage to admit his feelings 😂 I also see him being very protective over you like the type to give his life for you 😳

So yeah that was the reading, I hope it was good enough. If you have any question to clarify please ask and please give me feedback if possible! Also English isn’t my first language so there could be mistakes so please don’t mind🥰

For the exchange I would like to know bts jungkook impression of me, if possible! Hope you have a great day!

- MA 🥸

Hi MA I saw you sent in another reading so you can send another and ask if you like to.

Hi now take this with a grain of salt as everything can change 💫 just what I pick up on if he would ever meet you. So all for fun.

Jungkook sees you as someone from a different culture and it can be a language barrier. He views you as standoffish and just the two of you have different personalities. As the world is reversed both from different worlds. He can see that you are a good person and he can think you will be a good partner. He sees you as someone nurturing and motherly.  ( The world reverse, 2 of hearts, Queen's hearts ) -

Feedback: I think he is a shy person so I could see him being cold lol. Maybe the white dress 👗 is like a wedding scene or 😋 I'm not really into jewelry 💍 but I do tend to wear something eye-catching when I do. I could see an action movie 🎬 or an action tv show happening. 🔥Thank you so much for the reading

Double Trouble: Harrison Osterfield announces marriage and pregnancy with Y/N Holland all at once

Earlier this week, actor Harrison Osterfield (25) posted a cute picture on instagram of his partner of three years, fitness and health specialist Y/N Holland (24).

In the photo, Y/N was layed on her back over a bouncy yoga ball (made famous in her lockdown workout videos) in the living room of the house the two bought a year ago.

And she was also sporting a rather prominent baby bump visible from her black jumper that had ridden up, matched with a comfortable-looking pair of sports leggings.

Harrison captioned with:

‘anyone else’s wife do this? just mine? ok 👍’

This came as a complete shock to both us here at celebtattletale and the rest of the world, who were all under the impression that this was simply a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.

It was Tom Holland (25), Y/N’s brother and Harrison’s best friend who first revealed that the two were together, speaking on how his ‘best mate and baby sister’ had finally admitted their feelings when on the Spider-man: Far From Home press tour.

And since then, the couple have posted cute pictures of each other on instagram right throughout their relationship, but neither them nor anyone in the family has ever mentioned the two getting married.

A source close to the married couple told us that Harrison proposed just after they moved into their new house and they got married in a small ceremony with only close family and friends as soon as it was safe - due to the pandemic.

Wedding photos have been released in the past couple of days due to demand from fans. They showed Harrison and Y/N gazing lovingly into each other’s eyes and their parents and siblings cheering in the background.

Harrison looked dashing in a plain and simple suit hugging his taut biceps. His newlywed wife matched his simple style in an elegant white dress with a defined square neckline and puffy sleeves.

And everyone was delighted to find out that the two are now expecting a child together! We all can tell that the Osterfields are going to be wonderful parents.

Eagle-eyed fans have suspected that Y/N is due to give birth in another two or three months based off the size of her bump. Others have even started a poll guessing what sex the baby will be (girl is winning so far).

But no matter what, we all know that this baby is going to be loved by the amazing support system of the combined Holland and Osterfield families around them.

Firstly so sorry I haven’t replied had a mad couple days with hockey games/training and Xmas parties 😂.

But yeah the Toronto skyline would look slick, like a dark grey background and an outline in dark red would look fire.

And yeah Boston are really good, they’re my fave pwf team but tbh I prefer PWHPA Montreal bc pou and fillier on a team is so fun to watch! How is the T6 doing now ?

That sounds so fun I hope you have a good time! Skating is so fun I love it!

😂I think I get you when I watch Canada in international competitions I’m like hmmm which one is it today?😂😂

And as for your fave player Fleming and putellas are both boss, haven’t seen putellas much tbf but I’ve seen highlights and stuff and they’re boss!

Band does sound like a ton of fun and it sounds fun to work both with people and then individually to show off. Are you still in a band or is there not one where you’re at now?

😂😂 that sounds boss I have a similar thing with my mates, one of them is nicknamed after a thing she said in practice that sounded dirty and it stuck 😂 and Tbf a lot of my mates are mispronunciations of thier names. I also called one of my mates by her last name and it’s gotten to the point that when I say her first name it sounds weird 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️. Also what are you doing to those tomatoes?

Halladay sounds really cool, to have that sort of impact and respect for both the teams he played for is really cool. And the fact that the fans still loved him is really cool and sweet too and it’s probably one of the best compliments a sportsperson would have. And yeah tell me all about it we don’t play or watch it here as far as I know and it seems cool (but long) so yeah tell me all about it😁

They are so so bad like I know I’m already bias bc I love team Canada and GB and there’s a rivalry there (less so with GB) like I don’t know why the designer couldn’t think of a logo or a design , rather than putting USA on it like no other country writes thier name on them cause you know who they are.

I don’t hate them I just wish they let in one more goal and then we’d be in the next round, I watched that game on the bus home from a game and I spoilt a goal for a teammate who was 10 seconds behind (cause I jumped in excitement and she saw) and when the game was over and Although GB won that game they came second in the tourney so korea cellyd thier 1st place (as they should) and I was like nope and switched off my phone😂🤦‍♀️

And good booo bruins. The Montreal Canadiens are cooler (we ain’t playing good this season but our jerseys are nicer👍), who would you support in that leauge? Toronto leafs cause you’re a T6 fan?

Also about hockey I tried the weirdest tape and I kinda like it😂 it’s the same as Stutzle who plays for the Ottawa senators 😂🏒

Bro don’t worry about it I get it we be busy (only one more week only one more week of school😂)

The Toronto skyline is so sick like yeah I agree I think the t6 white jerseys would be sick if they had a light grey skyline on them, you know? But really how much more Toronto can they get than literally calling themselves the 6ix?? 😂

Toronto just swept the rivs so I’m feeling better now 😂 they’re doing well, Boston just likes to rain on our parade, so far they’ve only lost the two games against Boston and hopefully *knock wood* it’s only Boston they struggle against

The good part of having to play the anthem with band is I don’t ever have to worry about what version because the melody is the same in either language 😂

Putellas is boss she’s so good like no one has any issue with her winning the ballon dor or any other awards, like there’s always issues with the awards but this year everyone’s like yep Alexia deserves it, I was worried she would get overlooked because the Spanish national team isn’t (yet) a team that will win the World Cup or Olympics, she is without a doubt the best player in the world right now for sure

I’m not in a band rn because I’m not sure if there’s a local orchestra that will accept me right now and I also don’t have a sax 😂 if I had money I could buy a sax and play out all the rust and see if I could get into a band or an orchestra or something, tbh I love playing concert music just as much as jazz so I can’t decide what kind of music I wanna play

Oh yeah nicknames are always bad mispronunciations of my friends names or stupid things they say, for my one friend (and roommate) we have the same first name so we go by our last names when we’re together

And I was literally just eating them😂, she just thought it was weird that I eat cherry tomatoes straight up, she only eats them with something else

Well baseball where to begin? The basic rules are you have 9/10 starters, three outfielders, 4 infielders, one pitcher, one catcher, and a designated hitter if you’re an American League team, the designated hitter bats for the pitcher so the pitcher doesn’t bat, so you have one team bats first, one team fields, the point of the game is when you’ve batting to hit the ball and get as many players “home” as you can (home means you circle the bases and end up at home plate which is where you bat from) and when you’re fielding to stop the other team from getting anyone home, you play nine innings (an inning is both teams get to bat) and whoever has the most runs at the end wins, it can’t end in a tie so you play extra innings until someone wins basically endless overtime I’ve seen games go to 20 innings, the longest mlb game went to 26 innings, the longest pro baseball game was a minor league game that went to 33 innings. You switch who bats after 3 outs, an out is where one of the batters doesn’t get on base when they bat or if a runner (a batter who got on base) doesn’t make it to the next base, this is a very quick summary there’s a lot of rules and stats and teams and players and blah blah blah I can keep going but some stuff probably doesn’t make sense until you watch a game (if you want to watch a game please let me pick the one you watch I don’t want you to pick a boring game and lose interest I’ll pick an exciting one for you)

I don’t know why the us never wants to be creative with their jerseys, like I don’t get how they look at what they’ve designed and say yes this is exactly what we want let’s keep doing it, like what?? Literally no one will forget you’re America trust me buddy we all know you’re America 😂

Oh that’s so funny, that happens when I’m at my parents house and I force my dad to watch the game on a different tv because he’s bad luck, our TVs are never in sync so either me or my dad will hear a reaction from the other and be like welp I guess I know what’s coming up 😂 my mom gets so mad because we’ll talk about what’s happening but I’ll be in the basement and he’ll be upstairs in the living room so we’ll just be shouting to each other and my mom will just be like can’t you two just watch it in the same room 😂😂

I will never support the leafs, I love Toronto but not that much 😂 tbh I don’t know what nhl team I’d support, my dads a bruins fan but my brothers a bluejackets fan, I do like gritty tho so maybe I’ll become a …. Penguins fan??? It’s Philadelphia right? Is that where gritty is? If you can’t tell I don’t know much about the nhl 😂

I didn’t know there was different types of hockey tape I thought there was just… hockey tape… but you know what you go weird tape go do hockey tape stuff

Side note, at the Canada-us Ottawa game I was at, one of the Canadian players (I forget who) was having so much trouble with her tape, it kept coming off all game and every time she skated near where we were sitting we’d all start yelling “your tape is coming off” and then we’d watch her look and see yep her tape is coming off, she kept sticking it back on but I’m pretty sure after her one shift she just threw her stick at the bench and got a new one 😂
