Do the boys know sign language? (The boys meaning all of them sajkdhfasdkl)
Yes! Yes to all three - but only Eclipse had to learn. For Sun and Moon it was part of their programming, part of what made them suitable for work in a daycare, and Eclipse as a byproduct of their shared AI mode got a good bunch of the same knowledge.
For him, however, it's a bit spotty, and he struggles to remember signs he hasn't used before. It's a recall issue - like a misplaced memory, and upon recall he doesn't quite know where it is, like searching through way too many folders and sub folders for the right file, and the search function is broken. Once he uses the sign, and thus makes his own memories with it, it solidifies as knowledge and he will access it faster next time. The same applies to signs he simply doesn't know at all, of course - there are still plenty of that, as he was neither a controlled nor an expected experiment.
With four hands it also can happen that he gets too excited, and maybe signs simultaneously, making it all impossible to follow, or that he simply switches hands he uses to sign depending on whatever task he's multitasking with. Can be a bit tricky to get used to, but he tries his best!
And, while you asked about the boys only, I'd also add that Y/N knows a few basics, too - somewhat biased basics, as they learned during their training period, but during missions it's sometimes vital to communicate with a partner and stay silent, so all agents get a crash course!

Hii first of all i hope youre doing great! Make sure to drink water‼️
So i saw that your requests r open but idk if u can do matchups so feel free to ignore this if u dont
But if u do, i was wondering if u could do a jjba matchup from parts 2-7 (any gender idm)
Some info ab me:
Im agender but i use any pronouns, im aroace (! Aroace ppl can still feel romantic feelings js limited, just letting u know bc ppl get confused🥲!)
Id like the matchup to be romantic and some characters i wouldnt rlly like u to include r stroheim, kira, pucci and funny valentine
Okay lets get to the main stuff
My personality is pretty confusing even for me tbh
I can be very serious at times but i can also be very js energetic and yk goofy ig? My energy gets drained quickly after that tho so yeaah
I get told pretty frequently that im harsh but im just honest🤷‍♀️
I prefer saying whats objective and truthful rather than sugarcoating stuff
I can be very supportive tho dont tske this the wrong way
Im an ambivert and idk if yk mbti but since it might help im an Intj e3
Also im a night owl so yeah i love staying up and stargazing from my window💁🏻‍♀️
As for how i act in daily life well, i always try my best to get everything that im assigned done and most of the time i do. I strive for perfection and success in whatever i do and i am very ambitious🏃🏻
At times tho i feel like i need breaks so once in a while i like to just stop and relax, to do absolutely nothing
I like to read books every now and then but i dont have a good attention span and i zone out A LOOOTT
Not just while reading, if im doing anything at all ill just zone out eventually
I really enjoy being in my head with my own thoughts its like my safe space even if its not safe ykwim
Im just a very brain-ish person yk i like thinking i spend hours in my head its like my comfort place
I also like being productive it makes me feel alive
Like doing stuff
Im also a result/success oriented person so yeah
Also other than reading im also into make up and i like to listen to music if u consider that a hobby
I have a very mixed music taste but my friends say its good
I really like lana del rey and indie music but I also love rock and grunge like ac/dc, nirvana, pearl jam etc.
I also listen to stray kids sometimes their music is cool (kpop) but i also listen to j-pop and classical music (ascends me to heaven fr)
I also listen to 90s hiphop. Yeah.
Thats a lot of stuff I KNOW but i told u its a mix
As in fashion i dress either very y2k-ish or like my friends always tell me i look like those 2 girls from mean girls (my clothes)
I like to dress coquette-like though too!
Id also like to be a gothic lolita but i cant so thats sad
I also have brown hair and brown eyes and im average heigthed
My friends say i have the best style so yeah
I dont really have a type but i do have a preference for either people who are like me bcz yk they get me
But i also like funny people like very energetic funny people
We can be like sun moon dynamic idk😭
I like every love language ngl
I have a slight preference for gift giving though
I mean thats the one i use so
The fic is up to u idm what it is
Tysm for ur time, ik that was a lot, feel free to ignore if u dont feel like it have a nice day/night <3
notes: omg hi!! I am finally doing your matchup <3 I feel like it has been in here forever omg. but i am so glad im getting to it today!! i literally have the PERFECT character for you tee hee so let's jump in <3
the character I chose for you is...
GYRO ZEPELLI!!!
Tumblr media
you and him have a very similar personality. you can both have a serious front, but goof off with each other, which is the most fun
it makes you a super successful couple too because you both know when it's joking time or not
though you will find him making stupid jokes more often than not
he likes that your harsh/honest
it just really shows that you know who you are and you cant take certain stuff
it just means your strong-willed and that's what he loves about you
there is nothing wrong with being harsh and he tells you that all the time
you and him are very supportive to each other and it really helps the relationship grow
i feel like gyro is honestly a morning person, so you wont find him staying up with you late that often
so while he sleeps next to you pet his hair
but he will 100% stargaze with you while you talk about life and cuddle
you get shit done and that's what he loves about you
and when you two are together, you're literally unstoppable tbh
as ambitious as this man is, he is also lazy, so he will ask you to just sit and cuddle him so you can take a break
and who are you to deny gyro??? i would cuddle in those arms any day
doing absolutely nothing sounds amazing to him, so please stay wrapped in his arms
just know he will fall asleep
since you love reading, but zone out a bit, this man will read to you
he loves to read to you
even if you zone out, he will catch you up
he overall just enjoys reading out loud a lot, so you're going to hear a lot of it
while you're just thinking, he'll be right beside you
you are your own comfort space, but you begin to feel that he is becoming your new one
he is also a mixed music dude, so yall listen to whatever
HE LOVES THE WAY YOU DRESS OMG
literally force him to dress up to and you will be walking ICONS
do his makeup
LITERALLY
he loves when you make him all pretty
he'll braid you hair if you braid his
he is super energetic and funny, so you have the literal perfect man for you
and he will provide every love language, just expect a lot of words of affirmation from him and way too many cuddles
and if you give him gifts, he gets all flustered and blushy
and then he'll get you gifts too :)
and now for your fic :)
You stayed up on the edge of your shared bed with Gyro and watched the stars from your window. You lived in a nice enough area to see all the stars and you were very thankful for that. You couldn't go to sleep, so you decided to open the window and get a breath of fresh air along with your view. Your boyfriend slept quietly next to you, his arms hugged around his own lanky body. You watched his breaths for a moment. In. Out. In. Out. You smiled and ran your fingers through his long sandy blonde hair before looking right back to the window. "Darlin?" You heard from Gyro, making you jump. "What's up?" You asked, seeing his long arms stretch in front of him as he sat up. "Can't sleep?" He asked, avoiding your question. "No, not really. Just wanted to do some stargazing." "Come here," he said, patting his chest. You gladly laid your head on your chest, having an even better view of the stars as he petted the top of your head until he fell back asleep.

Fluff Alphabet - The Huntress
Tumblr media
A = Admiration (what do they absolutely adore about their partner?)
Anna adores everything about you. They are the sun, the moon, and the stars to her. Though if it had to be narrowed down it would be seeing you smile.
B = Body (what is their favorite part of their partners body?)
Their eyes. Despite a language barrier, she can always tell how you feel by your eyes and pays close attention to them. Anna loves how expressive your eyes can be. Window to the soul kinda stuff, ya feel me?
C = Cuddling (how do they like to cuddle?)
At first Anna is probably repulsed by touch since she’s spent so long in isolation and those, she has come across are fighting for their lives against her prowess, but once she becomes more comfortable with a lover’s touch, she’s a cuddle fiend. It’s all she’s going to want to do and will seize every opportunity to do so. Big spoon? Absolutely. Putting her head on your chest or lap after a long day? Her favorite moment. Little spoon? Maybe if you ask nicely.
D = Dates (what does their ideal date with her partner look like?)
Listen, this woman probably has no idea what a date even is so in her mind it’s just a way to spend time together. Ideally, she’d probably take you into the forest and teach them about edible plants or maybe bring home a big kill from a hunt and the two of you would share a nice meal.
E = Emotions (how do they express emotion around their partner?)
Anna is wicked stoic for the most part, and I don’t think shows emotions too much. Though I believe she’d let her guard down sometimes. A smile when proud or happy, a frown when confused or upset, a smirk when feeling a little bit more devious, and perhaps even trying to hide how flustered she is when you give her a kiss.
F = Family (do they want one? If they do, when?)
Ultimately yeah, I think Anna wants a family. She likes caring and providing for others, it’s kinda her love language imo, and I think she’d absolutely love to have a wife and kid.
G = Gifts (how do they feel about gift giving? What are their habits when it comes to this?)
She loves to give gifts. Huge ass animal she killed for food? She did it for you to prove how much she loves you and also, it’s dinner. Ring she stole off a survivors finger? It’s your ring now and you’re her wife. A cool rock? Absolutely. A wolf she killed for trying to attack? You got yourself a new fur pelt to keep you warm at night.
H = Holding Hands (when/how do they like to hold hands?)
Anna will hold your hand at any given moment. Doesn’t matter if you’re walking around the forest or just cuddling, her hands are always holding yours.
I = Injury (how would they act if their partner got hurt?)
First of all she’d be extremely concerned and immediately come to aid. Based on past events with her mom and the little girls she kidnaped she be terrified of your injury taking you away from her, so expect her to be tending to whatever happened and freaking out a bit (even if it was just an accident). Now if it was another killer or survivor that injured you, well safe to say they’re dead on sight.
J = Jokes (do they like to joke around with or prank their partner? how?)
I think Anna likes to joke around in her own way. Pinching a butt and pretending she didn’t do anything, making you pick up something she knows you can’t lift and playfully teasing you about it before coming in to take care of it.  
K = Kisses (how do they like to kiss their partner?)
While Anna enjoys kissing you at any given moment, she enjoys quick kisses. It’s a way to show affection while during a task, in the middle of the forest where she always has her guard up, or as she’s walking by.
L = Love (how do they show their partner they love them?)
Anna shows her love in many ways, but the top way is providing for you. Making sure that you always have food and a warm place to rest your head at night, she’d think she was a terrible mate if she couldn’t do that for you. Another way she shows her affection is cuddling and dang, this woman loves it.
M = Memory (favorite memory together?)
The first time you two kissed or watching you stare in awe of how beautiful the forest looks with a fresh coat of snow over everything.
N = Nightmare (what is their worst fear?)
Losing you. She wouldn’t be able to handle it mentally and emotionally if she lost you. You become her everything very quickly, and she sometimes goes a little overboard with making sure you’re safe due to her own fears.
O = Oddity (what is one quirk they have?)
In my humble opinion, it would probably have to be the way she tilts her head side to side as she stands still either watching you or something else.
P = Pet Names (what do they like to call their partner?)
Oh, Anna enjoys pet names! She loves to call you котёнок (Kitten) and дорогой (darling). Though she really loves it too when her partner calls her Anya, An’ka, or Anechka (which is just are other variations on her name).
Q = Quality Time (how do they like to spend time with their partner?)
While any time with you is wonderful to her, she enjoys taking you through the forest for walks just to enjoy the fresh air. She really also enjoys just being in the cabin together whether it be relaxing in bed or sharing a warm meal.
R = Rhythm (what song reminds you of them?)
I can’t think of a song that reminds me specifically of her, but songs that have more of a mood to them, ya know? I’m not sure why my brain associates these two songs first but uh, have at ‘em.
Ivardensphere – Orcus
Ari Mason – Dim the Lights
S = Secrets (how open are they with their partner?)
Anna is a guarded person and doesn’t really enjoy feeling vulnerable, so I think it would take time for her to feel comfortable enough to tell you things, though she wouldn’t ever keep a secret that would harm you.
T = Time (how long did it take to get together with their partner?)
Well, she probably kidnapped you, so if you count that as ‘getting together’ then very quickly. Though for you both to become ‘official’ as a couple, it probably took a good deal of time as she had to earn her trust with you slowly after ya know, the whole kidnapping thing.
U = Upset (how do they act when their partner is upset?)
Anna will immediately want to resolve the issue. She doesn’t want you to be upset and will immediately try to figure out what’s wrong. They won’t be happy until you’re happy once more. For example, if you’re getting cranky cause you’re hungry, expect Anna to have snacks on her if you go out into the woods the next time to avoid that scenario.
V = Vaunt (what are they proud of? Do they like to show their partner off?)
Anna is proud of not only her survival and hunting capabilities, but she’s proud that she can provide in abundance for not only herself, but you as well. While she would love to show you off, she’s extremely hesitant. She’s very possessive of you and would immediately kill anyone who she felt got a little too close to you. She’d rather keep you tucked away nice and safe.
W = Warrior (how do they feel about their partner fighting? Would they fight for their partner, beside them, etc?)
She’d like you to be able to defend yourself, and will teach you to, but she’d rather you not be in the position to need to in the first place. Anna would not only fight for you but kill anyone for you. You say the word? They’re dead. They hurt you in any way? Dead. Say the wrong thing? Also dead.
X = X-Ray (how well are they able to read their partner?)
After being with you long enough Anna will be able to read you without even having to think much. Since there’s a language barrier, she learns your nonverbal cues for how you’re feeling or what you may want or need. From the way you might look down when upset about something, the way your lips curl in the slightest of smiles, or just how open your body language is, she’ll be able to understand you perfectly even without words.
Y = Yes (how would they propose to their partner?)
It’s of my opinion that Anna seems like a very traditional person in regard to romance. So of course, you’re getting a ring that she’s stolen off a body. She’ll hide it and while on a walk she’ll take you to a nice scenic area in the forest, take your hands in hers and give you the ring.
Z = Zen (what makes them feel calm?)
Anna is a very calm person to begin with, so I think what helps her really relax and be fully calm is knowing you’re safe and taken care of and when the two of you can share a content silence as you work on different things at the same time.

Chapter 1: Defiance
▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎
"Hello?" I called into the darkness of the unknown room, then I'm reminded how stupid that decision was as I hear a creepy laugh. It sounded like it was coming from all directions as I slowly look up…
And just like that I'm yeeted back into consciousness, the desk lamp blinding me. I wipe the drool off my chin looking down, contract papers scattered around the floor and desk. Picking them up I notice that I've missed one, reading through it I see a line of bold text.
'Fazbear entertainment is not responsible for any harm, death, trama, or any kind of harassment to daycare employee(s) if lights are off in the Superstar Daycare™', "What's that supposed to mean?" I grumble to myself, still half asleep.
I've heard of the Sun animatronic and how it's creepy, but how bad could it be? It's a nanny bot. I've also heard of Sun's night time counterpart Moon and how it's absolutely terrifying, but that's because of it's security protocols, right? I mean Fazbear Entertainment™ must have limiters on it? It would never be able to harm a child, let alone an employee. But if that is the case then why would they stop naptime in the Superstar Daycare™, and why have employees sign this waver?
I shake my head, 'Probably just Fazbear trying to cover their asses.' I think as I leave caution to the wind as I sign the last paper.
・:*₊‧°~[🔆°・:*•.。⭐。.•*:・°🌙]~°‧₊*:・
I arrive at the Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizza Plex™ just before 10:30 PM, I enter via the main entrance. The Pizza Plex is still bustling with loud kids and grumbling parents waiting in line at the gift shops, some parents dragging their crying children through the Freddy brand entry gates and out the front doors. 
*Hello Fazbear friends! It is now 10:30 PM, the Superstar Daycare™ closed at 10 PM, any Superstars who have not been picked up will now be taken to the security office to wait for a parent or guardian to pick them up. Thank you for visiting Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizza Plex™!*
After listening to the announcement I walk up to the gate and tried to open it but it doesn't budge, "Hey you, what do you think you're doing?!" A guard with brown hair asks sternly, "I, um." He raises a brow at me as I stumble over my words.
"New. Work." Is all I'm able to spit out and I mentally smack myself on the forehead, "Excuse me?" He questions with a confused expression, I fumble with my pockets till I find the security badge, I quickly shove it out in front of me like an anime school girl with a love letter and he looks at it for a moment then pulls out his scanner, "Oh! Your Y/n, the new night guard for the daycare." He states and reaches his hand out to me, I take it and shake it, "You already have level 7 clearance! It took me a year to get level 8 starting from level 3, how in the world?!" He exclaims.
"I, um, they just sent it to me in the mail." I squeak, "Well it definitely isn't a mistake, it's listed on your company profile." He comments, "Okay well, I'm Vince. I'll be working with you tonight but not in the daycare, those two give me the creeps. I'll be working throughout the rest of the Pizza Plex, we'll be the only two humans in the building tonight when it closes at 12:00 AM. Since it's Monday the bar in the East Arcade with DJMM will be closed until Friday, so you don't have to worry about drunken fools." He states and gestures for me to follow him.
We walk up to the entry Gates, "To open these you need to tap your badge against the scanner, like so." He States as he pushes his badge up against the black flat surface on top of the space holding the gates, the gate that he was in front of opens up to let him in, he walks through and it immediately closes behind him, "Now you try, we have to see if the badge works."
I walk up to the same gate I was trying to open before and hesitantly put my badge on the scanner, it opens and I walk through, but apparently not fast enough as it pushes me by my butt when it closes behind me, I turn and puff my cheeks at the gate.
I quickly fix my face and turn back to Vince, "Okay so do I need a tour of the whole place or just the daycare?" I ask him, "We'll start with just the daycare, then I'll show you a new exhibit each day, but you will have no need to memorize them. You will only be working in two locations, one location is the daycare, you will work there from Mondays to Thursdays. The next location is the East Arcade, you work there Friday through Sunday, and you will only be focused in the main bar area. In both areas while you are working there, you will be required to perform any maintenance on said animatronics in the area you are currently working, and perform other menial tasks that will be explained to you via company email that you will receive as soon as you clock in. Any other tasks will be informed to you via text, but those tasks have a rare occurrence, the few reasons why you would have a task via text would be; if an animatronic goes rogue, there's an intruder, or Chica is just going through all the trash again in your location." He states as we walk, "And yes Chica goes through the trash, we have automatic sensors in all of the bottoms of the trash cans that activate a half hour after the Pizza Plex closes, you won't get an alert if something is put in but you'll get alert if something is taken out, this was put in place in order to stop her from going to the trash and eating it." He states, "Oh yeah, I almost forgot! " he exclaims as we reach the daycare shutter door with an eclipse on it.
He reaches into his breast pocket and pulls out an orange square shaped like Freddy's head, "This is a Fazwatch; you will use it to clock in, receive company issued emails, send repair requests to parts and service, and receive trash indications from trash in the area you are currently in. Also anybody with a company issued Fazwatch can text each other as long as they have their code built into their Fazwatch." He states and fiddles with the watch, he then hands it to me and instructs me to put it on my wrist, " I have already put my code in, code for parts and service, and the code to the main office. Now let's introduce you to the Sun animatronic." He states and we walk up to the shutters and they start to rise.
・:*₊‧°~[🔆°・:*•.。Pov Change。.•*:・°🔆]~°‧₊*:・
*Hello Fazbear friends! It is now 10:30 PM, the Superstar Daycare™ closed at 10 PM, any Superstars who have not been picked up will now be taken to the security office to wait for a parent or guardian to pick them up. Thank you for visiting Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizza Plex™!*
'Oh, it's time for the strugglers to be taken to the office already?!' I think as Officer Stacy comes and picks up the five remaining kids, "O-Officer Stacy, can't they stay for a little while longer?" I ask her frantically, "Sun, you know they can't stay, it's 10:30, we need to take them to the security office to make sure their parents are penalized for leaving them 30 minutes after daycare hours." Officer Stacy states with a huff, "I-I know but-" I start to say but I'm cut off when the door is closed behind her and the last of the kids as they exit the daycare.
'How rude, we should teach her a lessson.' Moon hisses in the shared mind space, "No. No, I will not, Officer Stacy may be rude but that's no reason to hurt her!" I whine while tugging on my rays and shaking my head, I call the wire and retreat up to my room.
'You're no fun, Sunny.' Moon grumbles, "I'm more fun than you, the little Superstars love playing pretend with me." I state matter of factly, 'Well you're boring me to death, let's watch the security cameras, I'm sure they'll be more fun to watch.' Moon states as he pulls up the security feed, "Moony! You know you're not supposed to watch the security footage unless it's after the Pizza Plex closes and you're doing your patrols!" I screech at him.
'You say that but you like watching the video footage too, so stop being so loud and just watch it with me.' Moon grumbles, I sigh in defeat and link into the same camera he's watching, we watch as a girl tries to push open a gate at the entrance and get stopped by Officer Vince, 'If she's trying to break in, she's not very good at it.' Moon cackles at her dumb effort, we watch as she gets nervous and starts fumbling with her hands, she pulls out a card and bows after shooting it out in front of her, the Officer Vince scans it and smiles then proceeds to show her how to use it.
The gate pushes her forward as it closes because she wasn't fast enough going through it, she turns around and puffs her cheeks at it, "Who is she? What she did just now was so cute! Did you see her Moony, did ya, did ya?!" I ask him excitedly, 'Yes, I did. But I wouldn't call it cute, more like something one of the spoiled brats you watch do when you tell them that they can't do something.' He grumbles, "Moony, why do you always have to be so mean?" I ask him with a pout, 'I'm not being mean, I'm being honest.' Moon states, I huff and refocus on security cameras.
Me and Moon watch as they ascend the escalators and start making their way towards the daycare, "They're coming this way. WAIT! They're coming this way! Oh Moony, we're going to meet them!" I shout as I run around our room in circles excitedly then skid to a halt, "Oh what a mess, I was so worried about not listening to you that I forgot to clean the daycare!" I screech and scramble to the stage leading to the ball pit, I jump off as fast as I can and run to the nearest mess and start frantically cleaning it up. I get done with it and go on to the next messy spot and clean it up as fast as I can, by the time I'm almost done cleaning up the daycare I hear the shutters open and two sets of footsteps walk into the daycare lobby, I hear a voice belonging to Officer Vince.
・:*₊‧°~[⭐°・:*•.。Pov Change。.•*:・°⭐]~°‧₊*:・
"This is the Superstar Daycare Lobby, this is where kid drop off happens. You have no reason to be up here unless you are entering or leaving the or stopping Chica from eating trash, your area is the main daycare in the center on the other side of the net. There are two entry points to the main daycare; the slide, which is big enough for children and the daycare attendant to go down, or in the attendance case to climb up to stop rule breakers from climbing up and people who are banned from the daycare from going down. The other entry point it's the pickup area, which is at the end of the staircase. Those big wooden doors down there, those are the main entrance for parent and guardian pickups and employees." He says as he gestures to every place he mentions, we descend down the stairs to the wooden door he was talking about, I silently observe while nodding as he mentions every area, "And now it's time to meet the Sun animatronic, but before we go in there I have to warn you. It can be a bit, um, eccentric and hyperactive." He states and proceeds to scan his badge next to the door.
The big wooden doors creek open and we walk in, "This is the security desk, this is where you spend all of your time in the daycare. The animatronics are not allowed in this area, so we called this the Safe Zone. If you have any menial tasks that you have been required to do, it will mostly be done on these computers. You will also use the computers for supplies restock, and equipment repair, like if one of the generators short, or one of the tables or chairs become broken, or if one of the play structures are damaged, or if they're hook and wire become broken or are malfunctioning." He states and gestures for me to follow him out from behind the security desk.
He walks us to the multicolored mat in front of one of the play structures, "Sun get yourself over here, I have someone for you to meet!" He shouts after cupping his hands together and using them as a megaphone, a giant Yellow robot bounces out from behind one of the play structures and stops as it notices us.
It continues as it starts hopping back and forth between it's leg, "Oh, a new friend, so exciting!" It says as it approaches us, "It's been a while since we met a new friend, all of our Superstars are either regulars or have been here before and only come once in a while!"
"Okay that's enough, I'm going to need you to shut up! I called you to introduce you to Y/n and register them into your database, not to hear you ramble!" Vince states with an attitude, the Sun animatronic stops moving and talking, it's sun rays shrink into it's head a little bit, "Good, now." He states and turns to me, "What's with that look? You look like I just did something wrong, what did I do?." He asks like he didn't just yell at the animatronic.
I stare at him like he just grew two heads, "What do you mean what did you just do, you yelled at him like he just did something wrong. He was just excited to meet me, it's not like he hurt anybody or anything. Sure he was moving around a lot and talking a lot, but that doesn't give you the right to just yell at him like that." I state sternly, Vince looks at me weird because one moment I was fumbling over my own words and now I'm calm, cool, collected, and irritated, "Tch, I can talk to him however the hell I want, he's just a robot. You need to learn your place, level 7, I'm a level 8 so I'm your superior." He snaps at me.
"Yes, you are my superior. But look at it!" I say as I gestured towards the Sun animatronic and it flinches like I'm about to hit it, "It looks like a kicked puppy, if it had a tail it would be in between it's legs right now. No one deserves to be treated like that, even though it's a robot, it's actions are appropriate to your actions!" I state while poking him in the chest, causing him to back up with each poke, he glares at me, unable to come up with a comeback and proceeds to turn on his heel and leave slamming the door behind him, I put my hands on my hips and glare back at him as he leaves, "Good riddance!" I state and rub the filth off my hands from when I shook his hand earlier.
・:*₊‧°~[🔆°・:*•.。Pov Change。.•*:・°🔆]~°‧₊*:・
I hear Officer Vince talk in the lobby for a while as I clean, right as I finish cleaning I hear them come down the stairs. The main doors open and I hear them walk behind the security desk, he explains everything in the security area, then proceeds to walk to the story area.
"Sun get yourself over here, I have someone for you to meet!" He shouts at me, I come out from behind the play structure I was hiding behind, acting as if I hadn't seen them walking or have been watching them.
I stop in my tracks as I see her with my own eyes for the first time, 'She's the most beautiful star I've ever seen in the sky!' I exclaim to Moon in the head space, 'I still think she looks like space debris.' Moon grumbles in response, I ignore him and continue walking.
I start hopping back and forth, "Oh, a new friend, so exciting!" I say as I approach them, "It's been a while since we met a new friend, all of our Superstars are either regulars or have been here before and only come once in a while!" I state and stop when I reach a meter exactly from them, because that's how close I'm allowed to be to the employees.
"Okay that's enough, I'm going to need you to shut up! I called you to introduce you to Y/n and register them into your database, not to hear you ramble!" Officer Vince yells with an attitude, I freeze place and my sun rays shrink into my head a little bit, "Good, now." He states and turns to her, Y/n, he called her.
"What's with that look? You look like I just did something wrong, what did I do?." He asks when he notices her facial expression, the moment after he asks that her facial expression shifts to one of complete and utter, "What do you mean what did you just do, you yelled at him like he just did something wrong. He was just excited to meet me, it's not like he hurt anybody or anything. Sure he was moving around a lot and talking a lot, but that doesn't give you the right to just yell at him like that." She states with malice in her voice.
No one has ever stood up for me, not one since we were activated. But she's different, she's like a comet flying into a satellite. 'Moony, are you watching this?' I ask my brother, 'Yes.' Is all he says.
Officer Vince looks at her weirdly, and she just looks back at him with an extreme amount of defiance in her eyes, "Tch, I can talk to him however the hell I want, he's just a robot. You need to learn your place, level 7, I'm a level 8 so I'm your superior." He snaps at her.
"Yes, you are my superior. But look at it!" She says and quickly sticks her hand out in my direction, I flinch as a natural response to her sudden movement, "It looks like a kicked puppy, if it had a tail it would be in between it's legs right now. No one deserves to be treated like that, even though it's a robot, it's actions are appropriate to your actions!" She state while poking him in the chest, causing him to back up with each poke, he glares at her for defining him then turns on his heel and leave slamming the door behind him, she puts her hands on her hips with back to me as he leaves, "Good riddance!" She states and rubs her hands together.

Hello! Just saw that your requests are open, can i request how your ocs would react if someone surprised them with their favorite dessert/sweets? I love your ocs! You can pick any one of them if it seems like alot, reader can be any pronouns :)
~Candy Store~
Author’s Notes: It’s them who shall not be named 😂 /lh & J im sorry this took so long though, a lot of things been going on xD but I hope you enjoyed their hype. And before people ask, no I will not do student x Lóng, so his section is purely platonic as well as Rosie’s. You can read their bios here.
Tumblr media
Monica doesn’t really have a huge sweet tooth but she does sometimes get a huge craving and is flattered nonetheless. A soft smile appears on the small woman’s face as she graciously holds the orange frosting on atop of a sugar cookie. It wasn’t much but she does love anything orange or mango flavored.
“Thank you so much, this is really nice of you. I’ve been craving something sweet too! This is great. Perhaps if you’re not busy we can talk a little more? I found something interesting while at the library, it maybe a led back home.”
Tumblr media
Zane’s favorite sweet has to be conchas. He’s beyond dumbfounded when you gift him two loafs of the sweet bread. His father and mother would make this sweet treat when he was younger. It… had been awhile since he had those homemade delights. But hearing that you made this by hands to give them to him, it has his heart over the moon.
“You made these for me? Thank you, it really means a lot to me. My family and I would make these all the time. It really takes me back. Hey, as payment how about you and I go have fun at the night on the town? I can buy dinner.”
Tumblr media
Shu thinks this is some weird joke, to have his student carrying a basket full of delicious-smelling Osmanthus cakes. The gentle floral fragrance with a slight hint of fruit makes the professor’s mouth water. He narrows his eyes as the small man slowly reaches to the still steaming pastries with skepticism laced in his movements and eyes. Even if he taught at Royal Sword Academy, you can never be too careful about bribery. Some of the students here have no qualms about it either.
“If this is some sort of way to get me to tell you the date of the next history exam… you’re totally out of your league kid.” Shu narrows his eyes as he brings the cake up to his nose to sniff once more. Rushing to soothe your professor’s wariness, spuring a flurry of words, “No- I just have been noticing you’ve been lost in thought and sad a lot during lectures. I wanted to cheer you up!” Hastily speaking as you try to convince the professor otherwise to which it’s met with an eyebrow raise and a moment of silence. ‘Maybe I offended him?’ Sweating under the awkward situation as you slowly move out of Professor Lóng’s office. That jolted the smaller man to action as he rushes to clear up the mist.
“I didn’t think anyone noticed… Huh. You got a good eye, now come and sit with me. You’ve reminded me of a tale I heard on my travels.”
Tumblr media
Leif brightly smiles as he takes the bag full of apple slices from your hands. The way he beams at you makes it feel like you’re in front of the sun. Precious and sweet. Leif opens the bag to see the green and red apple peels. Reaching down to the bag, he goes to plop them into his mouth.
“Thank you so much! That’s very sweet of you. Do you want to come with me over to horse stables? I know you meant these are for me but I’d like to share to some of the horses. I may not be able to understand them fully but actions sometimes speak louder than words. Don’t you think?”
Tumblr media
Rosealio innocently look up at you holding a cup of pudding in his hands with a small nicely dressed dodo stuffy under the young child’s arm. Crouching form to meet the little boy’s gaze, you tell him that it’s a reward for being such a nice boy. Rosealio looks down entranced by the sugary scent of the creamy pudding, seeing the white haired boy’s golden eyes widen even more as you pull out a plastic spoon for him to eat.
“…This is for me? Thank you. Pudding’s my favorite.”

You all are thinking about William or Michael on Valentines. I'm thinking about Sun and Moon. We are not the same. /j
sun making valentines day cards with the little kids and then making one for you, glittery glue half dried and googly eyes all over the poor paper folded in half and scribbly writing inside of it that you can tell is sun’s because there’s a smiley face after every other word and little hearts across the entire paper. he’s nervous while you reading it, stumbling over his words as he tries to backtrack until your arms wrap around him in a tight hug and he melts in your embrace before picking you up and twirling you in the air with playful giggles.
moon who sets up a fort in the daycare for you over closing hours, picking you up and zipping over to the play area where the fort is, tiny night lights everywhere so you can see where you’re walking as he holds your hand and leads you into the small fort. there’s blankets and pillows everywhere, plushes and soft toys the children cuddle and play with during the day when it’s nap time. moon is speaking as softly as ever with you in his arms and a blanket wrapped around yourself, listening to the stories he tells you as he reads each fairytale book before moving to the next. you’re dozing off when he finishes another book and places a stuffed animal that’s your favorite animal in your arms as you drift off as he mutters that it was your gift, nudging his faceplate against the top of your head with a quiet sound akin to that of a kiss followed by a, “happy valentines my starlight.” before you fall asleep peacefully in his arms

SFW Alphabet: Lucius Malfoy
Requested by Anonymous
A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?) Lucius is a very affectionate man, always wanting you to know just how loved and adored you are.  He’s almost always holding your hand or has an arm around your shoulders, or both. When you’re alone at home, Lucius will hold you in his lap, pressing kisses all over your face.
B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?) Lucius has very few people who he considers friends, Severus being among them.  But having him as a friend, you’re never alone on anything.  Lucius will stand by your side through anything, acting as a confidant and a shoulder to lean on whenever you need it.  If you need some sway with the Ministry, he’s more than willing to help you there too.
  C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?) Lucius adores cuddling: having you in his arms, holding you close, it’s one of his favorite things.  When the two of you are alone, he likes to have you in his lap as the two of you read or just spend time together.  Lucius is always the big spoon, with you either facing him or with your back to his chest.  He also likes it when he’s on his back and you’re tucked into his side or lying on top of him.
D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?) Lucius does want to settle down with you, he wants to spend the rest of his life with you. You already own his heart, he knows that there’s no other woman for him, so he sees no reason not to settle down with you.   He’s already got the massive manor, but if you want to move somewhere smaller, he’s already signing the deed.  Lucius is shit at cleaning, he’s had house elves for his entire life, but he can cook pretty well.  He doesn’t do so very often, but sometimes, when he wants to surprise you, he’ll shoo the elves from the kitchen and cook you a romantic dinner (he has to call them back because he has no clue where stuff is, but he does cook the meal)
E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?) It would break his heart into a million pieces to end things with you, but if he had to, Lucius would put on the icy, cold, unapproachable exterior he shows to everyone but you.  “This can’t go on, Y/N,” he says, feeling ill with himself.  “We’re done.  I’m sorry, it’s over.”
F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?) Lucius most certainly wants to marry you, and now that Narcissa’s out of the picture, he can.  You’re together for about a year or so before he gets you a ring, and as soon as the little box is in his hand, he’s planning a super romantic evening for you.  After a 5 star meal, complete with champagne and dessert, he gets on one knee and asks you to marry him.
G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?) He may seem like a cold, cruel man, but around you, he is the gentlest, kindest, warmest man you’ve ever met.  Lucius is such a gentle man around you, treating you like a fawn (and fawning [pun not intended] over you as one does a baby deer), always being tender and gentle.  Emotionally, he’s such a sweetie, never raising his voice at you.  I won’t say he never gets angry with you, because he’s human, but he tries not to.
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?) Lucius likes hugs, though you’re usually the one to initiate them.  He prefers to be able to hold you for longer periods of time, and as hugs are usually short lived, they’re not his favorite.  Don’t get me wrong, he loves it when you hug him, he loves any form of physical intimacy with you, he just prefers cuddling.  That being said, his hugs are strong, he squeezes you tight against him, sometimes knocking the wind out of you.  He’ll rest his chin on your head, and kiss you sweetly when he pulls away.
  I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?) Lucius waits until he’s 100% certain of his feelings for you, more for your benefit than his.  He doesn’t want to rush into telling you he loves you if he thinks he might walk back on it (that’s very unlikely, but he wants to be sure).  After 5ish months, when you’re away for a week and Lucius feels physical pain in his chest for missing you, that’s when he knows he loves you.  The first words out of his mouth when you return are “I love you, Y/N.  I love you more than anything else in this world, and I will always love you.”
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?) Lucius is a VERY jealous man, you are his and his alone, no one else gets to have you.  If he sees someone looking at you a little too long, making eyes at you, hitting on you, or making you uncomfortable in any way, he’s at your side immediately.  Lucius will pull you into his side, arm tight around your shoulders or waist, grey eyes staring daggers at whoever dared to speak to you.  “Are you alright, my dear?”  As soon as you’re alone, Lucius will kiss you hard, usually pushing you against a wall, snarling “Mine.”
K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?) Lucius is a very skilled kisser, he knows how to convey every single emotion just by pressing his lips to yours.  He’ll pull you fluff against him, arms around your middle; one hand cupping the back of your neck, the other either on your back or ass.  He likes to kiss your lips, obviously, but he also loves kissing your forehead, neck, hands, chest, and thighs.  He likes being kissed on the lips, again, obviously, on the cheeks, the chin (because that might be all you can reach), hands, shoulders, basically anywhere.
L = Little ones (How are they around children?) I HC that Lucius played a massive role in raising Draco, so I think he’s pretty good with kids. Kids that aren’t his tend to get on his nerves a little, but his own kids, man, they’re the moon and the sun to him.  He adores his own children to no end, and if you want to have kids with him, Lucius is more than happy to be a father again.
M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?) Lucius gets up early most mornings, so he’s not always there when you get up.  But there’s always a cup of coffee/tea/whatever you like on the nightstand under a stasis charm, usually with a little love note under the cup.  On the days he can sleep in a bit, you wake with Lucius wrapped around you (he’s wrapped around you every morning, you’re just awake for it this time).  He’ll gently kiss you awake, smiling when you open your eyes.  “Good morning, my love.”
N = Night (How are nights spent with them?) Nights and evenings are quiet intimate affairs between the two of you.  Evenings usually entail a private, often romantic dinner before the two of you retire to the sitting room.  Lucius will usually hold you on his lap or have you tucked into his side.  You either read together, talk about your day, or watch a movie (Lucius has a home theatre type setup, fight me).  When it gets late, he’ll lead you up to the master bedroom where you usually share a bath or shower (which can lead to sex), before going to bed, you held close to Lucius’ chest.
O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?) Once Lucius is sure and comfortable in your relationship, he’ll start to reveal things about himself.  Not all at once, more like when you ask him questions, but he won’t hide things from you once he’s comfortable.
P = Patience (How easily angered are they?) Lucius has a temper, but he keeps it in check with you.  You do make him angry sometimes, but it’s never long lasting, and it never gets physical.  He might brood in his study for a little bit, but after an hour or so he’ll come out and apologize for being a bear.
Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?) At the beginning of your relationship, Lucius is so dedicated to remembering every little thing about you, he actually keeps a little journal.  It’s filled with random things that you’ve said on your early dates, things like “Favorite color: blue, Hogwarts house: Y/H, had three dogs as a child: Kelly, Mary, and Pepper.”  Obviously, he doesn’t need it after a while, but he still has the journal in his bedside table.  The last addition he made was: “Likes princess cut diamonds, jeweler on 5th has wide selection.”
R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?) Lucius’ favorite memory of you is the first time the two of you had dinner with Draco.  The only thing more important to him than you was Draco liking you.  After Lucius had escorted you back home, he returned to the Manor where Draco was waiting.  “So?” Lucius asked, pacing nervously.  Draco just smiled.  “I like her, Father.  She’s not Mother, but I like her.”  He was so happy to hear that his son liked you, he couldn’t sit still for hours.
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?) He’s very protective, Lucius wants and needs to know that you’re safe at all times.  He’ll never stop you from doing something or going somewhere, but if there’s potential for you to get hurt, he’s either going with you or putting measures in place to make sure you’re safe.  Lucius loves you more than anything or anyone, he can’t bear the thought of losing you.
T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?) This man has the resources to make you feel like royalty every single day, so you’d better believe that Lucius goes all out on dates and anniversaries.  Fancy restaurants, expensive wine and food, and anniversaries and gifts are on a whole nother level.  Trips to Paris, Athens, Madrid, anywhere you’ve ever dreamed of going, Lucius will take you there.  His gifts are usually very expensive, diamond earrings, necklaces, bracelets, designer clothes, but they can also be sentimental: a book you’ve had your eye on for a while, candy from Honeydukes he knows you like.
U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?) Lucius can be a bit narcissistic, very self centered.  He sometimes gets so wrapped up in his own head that he forgets that he has a girlfriend who wants and needs his attention.  He always feels so guilty afterwards, apologizing profusely to you.  He usually ends up surprising you with a fancy dinner or seducing you into be to show you how much he loves you
V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?) Have you seen the man?  Lucius cares about his appearance, like, a lot.  At the beginning of your relationship, he refused to spend the night with you, solely because he didn’t want you to see him when he work up; with bedhead and morning breath
W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?) Yes, you’ve stolen his heart, and Lucius cannot live without you.  When he was away for a week on Ministry business, he felt like a shell of himself, like part of him was missing.  You feel the same, hating when you’re away from him for too long.  The thought of leaving him forever makes you feel sick, but Lucius is quick to reassure you that he’s yours forever.
X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.) Lucius has a very in depth skincare routine, and if he misses or skips a night, he’s blotchy in the morning
Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?   Lucius can’t be with someone who can’t be serious.  Of course, he loves it when his girl lets loose and laughs, but in more serious situations, he needs her to be serious.  He’s all for being laid back and just having fun, but he feels there’s a time and a place for that versus being serious and sophisticated.  
Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?) Lucius puts lavender oil on his pillow to help him fall asleep.  He has a bit of insomnia, and it takes that or 4-5 rounds of sex to knock him out

Happy Anniversary, Salt-shaker
Pairing: Tsukishima Kei x fem!reader
Genre: fluff
Summary: You and Tsukishima are celebrating your 2 year anniversary and he shows a side you’ve never seen before. (it’s summer and you both have just graduated from high school a month ago). It’s basically a day in a life with Tsukishima with a hint of soft boi :’)
Warning(s): soft Tsukki ☺
Words: 1.7k
a/n: ik it sounds kind of boring but I promise it’s cute!! Pls give it a read.
Tumblr media
Today marks the two year anniversary for you and your boyfriend. It was the beginning of summer and the sun was starting to come out a lot more. As you stare outside your bedroom window, a sleepy voice muffles for you to shut the blinds and get back to bed. Sometimes, you forget how soft the snarky middle blocker is in the morning.  
“I’m sorry sweetheart, is the sun bothering you?” You ask, snickering at his babyish antics.
“Mmph,” he murmurs something incoherent into the pillow.
You make your way over to your bed that was currently occupied by a certain blond haired boy. 
“What was that, sweetie?” you say.
His arm extends quickly and pulls you into his arms. Your eyes are wide open in shock as he holds you like a teddy bear, his big form enveloping your petite one. 
“Be quiet. It’s too early for this,” he mutters against your ear. 
“But Tsukki-”
You were cut off by a pair of soft lips pressing onto the top of your head. The next kiss landed on your ear. He slowly makes his way down to your neck, his warm breath makes you blush. 
“T-tsukki, what are you doing?”
“I told you to be quiet.”
You turn to face him and his eyes are half-closed. He lazily blinks and stares at you. The closeness between your faces makes your heart flutter. Two years have passed and you still get butterflies. A couple minutes of staring passes before Tsukishima begins talking again.
“Happy anniversary, idiot.”
You bury your face into his neck to hide your embarrassment. 
“Where did all your sass go, princess?” 
“Shut up,” you grumble. 
You both lay there for what felt like eternity before your stomach grumbles. 
You can feel the vibrations against your body as your boyfriend lets out a deep laugh. 
“Lets get up and eat,” he decides for you. 
The both of you are up and dressed now. You and Tsukki have got the house to yourselves since your parents were off vacationing somewhere in Hawaii and of course what better thing to do than to call your boyfriend over and have a sleepover?
His sluggish romantic side was gone the moment you both left the bed. He was back to his smart-mouthed self and you didn’t mind. After all, that’s exactly why you fell in love with him in the first place. 
You’re slaving away in the kitchen trying to make an English breakfast when Kei comes over to you with a cup of warm tea. He’s smirking at your distress because he knows how much you hate cooking in the morning. He would offer to help you, but seeing you scrambling (pun intended) around the kitchen trying to find the eggs was much more endearing. 
Eventually, you do finish making the food and you two settle down to enjoy breakfast. Eating with Tsukishima is usually filled with silence as he liked to enjoy his meal in peace. He has his signature headphones over his ears and is humming along to the music. You watch his relaxed demeanor and can’t help but sigh softly at him. This makes him look up at you and smirk once again.
“What are you looking at, you weirdo?” 
“Hmph, why do you have to make everything sound bad, Tsukki?” You whine playfully.
You’re munching on your bread when you feel a foot rest under yours from beneath the table. Your shocked eyes make their way up to look at the salt-shaker, but his eyes are focused on his food. You decide to take his strange form of affection in stride and continue to happily eat your breakfast.
Since the sun was shining so brightly on your anniversary, you decided to take advantage of it and have a picnic at the park. Hand in hand, you two made your way down the trail of the park. The flowers surrounding you two alone was enough to bring a smile to your face. 
“Keiiiiiiii,” you drag out his name. 
He’s looking at you suspiciously because you only say his name like that when you want something. 
“Pick me a flower!” You exclaim.
You don’t actually expect him to comply but...
“Tch, stupid,” he responds as he bends over to pick up an iris. The light purple colour was so much more beautiful in the sunlight and your eyes glimmered in excitement at the romantic gesture. You open your palms awaiting the flower, but Tsukishima had other plans. He gently places it behind your ear and fondles your hair. 
God, you can’t get enough of him. And he can’t stop smirking at your bashful face. 
He doesn’t say anything. Instead, he takes your hand again and leads you over to an empty spot of grass. You spread the picnic blanket across the grass and you both sit facing each other on it. You two are eating the basic pb and j sandwiches when a ball is kicked in your face. Tsukki quickly turns his head in the direction that the ball was coming from, his face looking like he was going to punish whoever was at fault for hurting his precious girlfriend. 
A little boy rushes over to retrieve his ball and apologize for the incident but Tsukishima was not having it. His eyes are staring daggers at the poor boy and you can see the kid cowering at the sight. You quickly step in front of your boyfriend and the boy and smile at him.
“It’s alright! Don’t worry about it!” You reassure the boy and he takes this chance to run away. 
Tsukki is quick to spin you around and check your head for any bruises. After a million “I’m okays” and him chastising you for not and dodging the ball, you both settle down and finish the picnic. You soak up the July sun and wish this day could last forever minus the ball to the head.
It was almost 6pm and you both had booked a room at a karaoke bar. This was your idea. Tsukishima just grumbled and went along with it because he wanted you to be happy (hehe). When you two get there, you sing the first song. He’s laid back against the couch watching you prance around the room enthusiastically. His eyes are on your every move and you start to slow down at his intense gaze. He’s entranced by you. You’re everything he wants. you notice this and take this chance to sit on his lap playfully while singing loud and proud. His arms make its way around your waist and you lean down for kiss. But before your lips could touch, you pull away and the song ends. He’s grumbling at your tease and you laugh as you get off. 
“Your turn!” You declare, once again not expecting him to actually get up and grab the microphone out of your hand and whisper in your ear,
“It’s payback time, princess.”
It’s safe to assume that he only calls you by that pet name when he’s scheming as well. The song he’s chosen echoes around the room and the tune of “Love Story” by Taylor Swift is heard. Obviously, you are as surprised because you didn’t even know that he knew this song considering his opposite-of-anything-sweet personality. 
As he belts the lyrics of the song, he takes your hand in his and stares deep into your eyes. He does not need the lyrics, you notice. He sings “marry me y/n you’ll never have to be alone..” and his eyes hold so much conviction that you almost believe him. Your heart is fluttering wildly and you leap into his arms. He catches you with one arm. The song has finished and your bodies are intertwined in a lover’s embrace. 
Tsukishima makes the first move and shifts your weight so that you’re resting on one leg as he reaches into the carry-along bag he had. He pulls out a pair of headphones that look similar to his except that they were tinted pink. He hands them to you and you examine them carefully. On one of the muffs were your names etched in the center. You gasp at his intricate gift. 
“Now you can listen to music too instead of just staring at my face like a weirdo,” he comments, his signature smirk right on his face.
Your face heats up.
“SHUT UP BAKASHIMA,” but your face is buried in his neck. You appreciate him so much. 
“Oh! I have your gift too!” 
“I told you not to get me anything,” he mutters, but you can see a faint smile on his face.
Your hands reveal a beautiful watch that opens up to display a picture of you two smiling and looking at each other lovingly.
“This picture was from our one year anniversary..” his voice trails off and pink dusts his cheek.
“Yup! You can replace it with any picture later on, but I love this one so-”
Your words are cut off as he pulls you towards him. He’s warm. His fingers press into your back. One hand releases you and pulls you away so he can place his hand on your cheek. He gently caresses your face and his eyes hold absolute adoration. Slowly, as though he were holding a doll, he pulls you in and your lips finally meet. The kiss is soft and delicate. You close your eyes and hum against his mouth. He deepens the kiss and in that moment, you knew this was exactly where you were meant to be. 
You two make your way home, genuine smiles plastered on your faces, each other’s gifts in hand. After you two had showered and gotten into clean clothes, you’re back onto the bed but this time, there is no sun. Despite that, the moon is shining just as brightly. It held a kind of mysterious aura to it and it made the atmosphere so much more intimate. You’re cuddling with your back to his chest when he turns you to face him. 
“Did you have fun today?” He asks you.
“Mhm,” you mumble into his chest. 
“I love you, y/n.”
Your eyes shoot up and look into Tsukki’s eyes. There is nothing but complete love in them. 
“L-love you too, K-kei,” you stutter back. 
This Tsukki was different. He was oh so romantic. Perhaps it was the summer’s spell that was influencing your salty boyfriend, but you wanted to savour it. 
“Happy anniversary, idiot”
“Happy anniversary, Salt-shaker”

Excerpt: “Why are you telling me this now, Willow?” you asked, chewing on your straw.
“I can’t keep my nose out of other people’s business.”

“I just want you to be happy. And I don’t want to see you missing out on a good thing.”

༻✦༺ ༻✧༺ ༻✦༺
Ancient skeletons of long dead trees haunted the sands of Driftwood Beach. Petrified branches bent in all directions, reaching toward the sky, celebrating that even in death, their bodies served as an organic playground and haven for the living. Children and adults alike climbed along the writhing branches of trees fallen centuries before. Even in death, the haunted were kept loving company by the living.
You stood at the edge of the water, relishing in the way your toes pressed further into the sand as the cool water rushed past your ankles. The sun was low, coloring the skies a soft sorbet pink and orange. Out of the corner of your eye, you watched as Teddy victimized the seagulls making their way inland for the night.Your eyes drifted toward the open water of Lake Obsidian, its deep blue darkening as they day neared its end. From your point of view on the beach, the water was calm. Inside, you felt a tumult in your stomach, churning at what Dresden could possibly have planned when he asked to meet you.
Suddenly, Teddy was yapping at the water and in the distance you saw a familiar, finned form waving in the distance.
"You gonna stand there all day? We're gonna lose sunlight!"
You shuffled your feet in the sand.
"I was thinking we could start small! Here seems like really good progress already!"
Even from yards away you could see the exasperation on Dresden's face. You turned to see Teddy run head-long into the crashing waves, doggy-paddling toward Dresden, big brown head bobbing happily in the water.
"You're really gonna let your beast show you up like that?" the merman chided.
Show off, you thought ruefully. You stripped yourself of your jean shorts and jacket, down to bikini bottoms and rash guard. Despite the buzz of anxiety in your stomach, you picked up your paddle board and made your way out into waves. With every step you took the water rose higher and higher, until you stopped in your tracks. Waist deep in the water, your body refused to take a step further, muscles locking up in place.
"You're doing great! Keep coming towards me!" You looked up to see Dresden’s lopsided grin cheering you on.
"Dresden, I can't do this," you blurted clutching desperately at your floating paddle board, "I want to go back."
The water around you ebbed and flowed, swaying you with a force you weren’t familiar with and there was a gentle push at your back that you resisted. If it weren't for the death-grip on your board, your hands would have no doubt been shaking. Even when you were a kid, there was not enough candy or promises of gifts in the world that would have cajoled you into swimming in deep water. This was the farthest you had ever been and the newfound sensations were overwhelming.
"Wait wait wait! Just wait for me! I'll come to you, don't move!" He dove below the surface of the water, his flukes flashing before disappearing completely. Moments later, his head resurfaced in front of you.
"How're you feeling?" Dresden asked, eyeing the no-doubt panicky expression on your face.
"Like I'm about to crawl out of my skin."
He let out a little chuff at which you glared at.
"You're making jokes. That's good," he laughed. You held his gaze, trying to ignore the vast expanse of water around you. But also out of sheer resentment.
"I feel like if I say anything else, we won't be friends anymore," you ground out through gritted teeth. A stray current, made another push at your back and you clenched even tighter to your board for what little semblance of stability it could find.
"Okay, well I swear on our friendship that I won't make you go out any farther today. Climb on your board."
Your brows furrowed in confusion, but you still clambered on, lying on your stomach like a surfer would. With your body out of the water, the overwhelming apprehension subsided. The board still rocked as it floated in the gentle water and your body tensed nervously. Dresden was beside you now, a large hand on the nose of the paddle board keeping you from floating away.
“Good, now take a deep breath and close your eyes," he said. You looked at him, aghast.
"I'm not gonna let anything happen to you," he promised.
"Dres, I don't know about this," you faltered. He considered your expression for a moment and instead of acquiescing, his bigger hand took yours and wrapped around it tight.
"The worst that will happen, is that you feel a little stupid.”
You looked at him once more with doubt but promptly shut your eyes, laying your forehead down on your arms. The board's unstable rocking made your stomach turn and the occasional wash of water sent shivers up your spine.
"Okay, now tell me everything you're feeling right now," came Dresden's calm voice. You gripped his hand tighter, the only source of stability you could feel.
"Scared. I'm really scared. I don’t like that everything’s moving.”
"Okay, that's okay. Tell me why."
“I-I feel like, I’m gonna get washed away. Or that I’m gonna get pulled under.” At your words, Dresden’s hand tightened in yours and you let out a breath that you didn’t realize you were holding. Self-consciousness washed over you at your admission. Dresden was right, you did feel stupid. You felt stupid for your irrational fear, for coming out onto the water. You should have stayed on land where things didn’t move beneath your body and the world wouldn’t threaten to swallow you up.
How lame.
“You know it’s okay to be scared right? There’s nothing wrong with how you’re feeling right now.” Dresden’s voice was much closer now, his breath ghosting your ear and calming your unwelcome thoughts. Now all you could hear was the crash of the waves on the shores behind you and your heart thumping in your throat.
“Okay, now take a deep breath in. Three-two-one.” You inhaled through your nose, the rush of cold air of the dusk filling your lungs.
“Deep breath out. Four-three-two-one.” You pushed out a controlled breath, your diaphragm straining. Your heart was not not so loud but there was still a pit in your stomach.
"Now I want you to name three things you can smell."
You hesitated at his words for a moment but focused on finding any scents you can trace. With your head buried arm, you smelled the faint coconut scent of your sunscreen. In the air, a soft sharpness of pine wafted through the breeze. Finally a scent of clean, crisp water filled your senses.
"Sunscreen, Pine Trees, and Water."
"Okay, now what can you hear."
Blood was rushing through your head and your heart was still loud, but you pushed past the sounds of your anxiety to listen to the sounds of Driftwood Beach. Beneath you, water lapped against your board, causing a soft hollow knock against plexiglass to echo under you. Above, you birds called out to each other as they soared overhead, crying into the open sky.
"Water under my board and birds."
Despite the darkness behind your lids, the world around you came into clear perception through your senses. You lifted your head and opened your eyes to find Dresden watching you intensely, mossy green of his eyes darkening faintly.
The moment between you twisted like a knot tightening with every quiet second that passed.
“You’re not gonna ask me what I see?” you murmured softly. Dresden’s hazel eyes went and wide blinked, snapping out of his reverie. He let go of your hand, and for a moment, you mourned its warmth.
“No-no, I think that works,” he stuttered, a faint blush warming his sharp features. “How are you feeling?”
The sky above you both was now fiery orange set behind the darkening green of sequoias. The water around you moved with calm purpose, still but teeming with a quiet life. A faint sense of calm overtook you and you allowed your body to feel the gentle rocking of the water with the board between you.
“Better. A lot better.“
A comfortable silence settled and you sat up on your board, admiring the white moon in the sorbet sky. The idea of leaving your board still terrified you but your gorgeous surroundings were a welcome distraction and made a mental note to come back with your camera and a sketchpad.
From the shore, you heard aggravated squawks and a sudden burst of flapping wings. You and Dresden turned to see a sopping wet Teddy, galloping across the sand chasing a flock of irate seagulls.
"I better get back. If I don't feed Teddy soon, one of those seagulls might turn into dinner."
"Right, we wouldn't want that…” the merman averted his eyes, nervous to look you in the eye. “This was probably a lot for today, so I was thinking we could meet up again in a couple days? Whatever works-"
"No let's meet again tomorrow," you blurted, "This really helped a lot." Your face reddened. Your mouth had spoken before your mind had a chance to process what you were volunteering to do. Still, Dresden’s face lit up in a big grin.
"Okay, great. I'll see you tomorrow."
The two of you said your goodbyes and you made your way back to the shore. You could feel Dresden's eyes on you as you paddled towards land. It wasn't until you were standing on the solid shore did you see him wave from a distance and then disappear under the water.
You replayed the last half hour in your head. You had always known Dresden to joke and laugh at the expense of other people and you weren’t used to the care that he took with you and the warmth of his large hand in yours.
As you walked to your car, with Teddy in tow, you wondered how you never noticed that the soft curves of his boyish face turned into angles and edges.
༻✦༺ ༻✧༺ ༻✦༺
Despite every ounce of fear screaming at you, you spent each sunset with Dresden, wading out into the water, pushing yourself farther and farther from the shore. And like the tides, your fear ebbed and flowed. On bad days, you would be paralyzed, muscles stiffened as you lay on your paddle board. Dresden would always hold your hand, his grip firm and solid with a silent pledge to keep you safe. His voice, coaching you through the worst of your panic, would be uncharacteristically gentle.
On the better days, you two would work through the breathing exercises and then spend time reminiscing on childhood memories or talk about your respective work. You would sit on your board, mindfully allowing yourself to drift on the water, and talk about your growing frustration with your paintings and the inescapable deadline of the gallery opening. Dresden would then tell you about how his work mapping the underwater caves of Lake Obsidian was going with the local university, complaining about one particularly grumpy selkie lead researcher and the various ineptitudes of the doctoral students.
"Wait, wait so even the mer don't know how deep the lake is?"
"Nope, at some point it gets too dark to even see. Makes it dangerous. You lose your sense of direction." The thought of endless darkness and thousands of pounds of pressure on your head gave you a full-body shiver. Dresden laughed.
"Still it's not a bad gig. Helps with relations with the land folk and sometimes, you find cool stuff you can keep for yourself."
You thought about the fossilized ammonite that sat on the mantelpiece in your living room. The opalised fossil shimmered in the light when the sun beamed through your curtains, and you would stop to admire it when the stress of emails and showing dates overwhelmed you.
You tried not to think too much about how Dresden saved something that special just to give it to you.
༻✦༺ ༻✧༺ ༻✦༺
It was an early Sunday morning, a misty fog was just dispersing as the yellow morning sun warmed the chill in the air. You were wandering through the stalls of Talon Point's farmers market, admiring the vast variety of produce. Some you recognized: bright red and orange tomatoes, plump as a baby's cheek, broccoli and sprouts green and freshly picked, but there were also other varieties you didn't recognize, bright purple and magenta spices that sat in a pile as tall as you were and some sort of blue fruit perfectly cubed and shiny.
Even with your giant grocery tote filled to the brim with your usual fare, you still liked to wander through aisles, admiring the strange sights and shiny crafts of the local artisans. With a sudden pull, Teddy tugged you by his leash towards the specialty bakery that made treats for humans and non-humans alike. Warm smells of fresh croissants and chocolate eclairs wafted through the air and he made a dead stop just outside the door plopping his giant behind in an obedient sit, knowing better than to barge into a doorway without your express permission. You had to chuckle lightly at his polite adamance.
"Alright, but only one today. You're starting to look a little fluffy and I don't mean the fur," he seemed to harumph in protest but stood his ground. Inside the bakery, you saw a vast array of baked goods: doughnuts, croissants, tiny cakes, and even dainty cake pops. Behind the glass counter was an orc with an immense frame, balancing two gigantic trays of honey buns in both big arms.
"I'll be with you in a moment, miss," he gruffed, sidling his way through what looked like tiny walkways.
"That's okay, take your time. Just browsing." The orc let out a soft grunt in response and made his way to the back kitchen. As you made your way down the aisles, you started to realize the variety of baked goods was immense: green pandan waffles, taro puff pastries, and Mexican conchas in a variety of colors lined the trays in the glass case. Finally, you came upon some pastries in the shape of fish with ogling eyes.
"Any questions, miss?" You looked up to see that the orc had returned and was waiting patiently behind the register for you to make a decision.
"What are in these fish pastries?" you asked, shyly. He made his way over to you to check the display.
"Ah, those are taiyaki. Normally made with red bean paste inside, but this batch has Nutella." You smiled to yourself, wondering if Dresden had ever tried chocolate before.
Can merfolk even eat chocolate? you wondered, absently, already coming up with ways to make fun of him for having the hazelnut paste stuck on his teeth.
"Can I get two of those and one dog treat, please?"
You watched the gigantic orc as he packaged your pastries, large chords of muscle sliding under smooth green skin, delicately placing your order in a crisp paper bag.
Behind you, you heard a familiar voice call your name and you turned to see Willow dressed in a baby blue sundress and gigantic sunhat.
"Fancy seeing you out and about, stranger," she smiled and pulled you into a hug. Before you two could even make conversation the orc behind the counter cleared his throat and you turned sheepishly to pay for your order. Willow smiled up at the orc coquettishly, and requested an order of a dozen cheese croissants, and then proceeded to brazenly leer at his admittedly toned behind when he bent over to pick out a cardboard box.
"Thanks, Gil," she winked as you two exited the shop. The aforementioned orc rolled his eyes at Willow and gave another huff before making his way to help out another customer. Your ears warmed and you hid your face as you exited the store.
"Excuse me, I seem to recall that you have a whole-ass husband," you chided, teasing her as you made your way through the main street, passing shop displays filled with antiques and other handcrafted arts.
"I'll have you know Romero and I have a mutually agreeable 'look don't touch policy'. Like window shopping!"
You rolled your eyes but smiled at her antics. “Is that what we’re calling it now?” You chuckled softly when her lips formed a pout at your chiding.
“Maybe you ought to consider shopping around, yourself.”
“I really don’t think I need more clothes.”
“Okay, now you’re being obtuse on purpose,” Willow huffed exasperatedly and you couldn’t stop the smug smile from tugging at your lips.
“Will, I already have the exhibition breathing down my neck. I don’t really have time to entertain any gentlemen suitors,” you sighed, stretching the tell-tale tingle of anxiety out of your neck.
“Who said anything about dating though? A fun little romp does the body and mind wonders. It’s a wonder how you stay sane when you never leave the house.”
“I leave the house! I walk Teddy all the time and me and Dresden-”
You clapped your hand over your mouth before the last of your words could tumble out. But it was too late. Willow didn’t miss your words and she honed in on you like a hawk.
“You and Dresden? You two have been hanging out? How?” Willow probed, a wickedly gleeful expression on her face.
“Oh my god, Willow it’s nothing like that. He’s been…” you sighed, trying to find your words, “We’ve been doing exposure therapy out on the water. He’s been helping me after the accident.”
Willow studied your face thoughtfully and smiled like she knew something you didn’t. You grabbed her by the elbow to look her in the face.
“Willow, what?”
“Nothing! I just didn’t think he had it in him to make a move.”
You sputtered, ears warming again with embarrassment.
“He’s not trying to make a move!” you cried indignantly. Willow smiled at you like a child who still believed in Santa.
“He looks at you like you put the freaking sun in the sky. Like, he’s literally had a crush on you since we were children.”
She smiled wickedly at your stunned silence. Despite her deceptively air-headed appearance, you knew Willow to be highly perceptive. And blunt. Willow pulled you by your wrist to the nearest cafe and sat you down in a chair of a patio table. A young tiefling waiter rushed out with menus and a water bowl for Teddy and Willow ordered two iced coffees while she waited for your brain to reboot.
“I feel like I would have noticed,” you quavered, still processing this revelation.
“You’ve been hung up on Micah for years. We didn’t think it would matter.”
The young tiefling came out with your orders, setting the sweltering cups on the table before, making his way back into the cafe. You and Willow took several silent sips.
“Why are you telling me this now, Willow?” you asked, chewing on your straw.
“I can’t keep my nose out of other people’s business.”
You glared at your friend and she snickered under breath, elegantly swirling her drink with a perfectly manicured hand.
“I just want you to be happy. And I don’t want to see you missing out on a good thing.”
You looked her in her icy blue eyes, earnestness shining through.
༻✦༺ ༻✧༺ ༻✦༺
All through the ferry ride back, all you could think about were Willow’s words. How could you have possibly missed something so huge? Your relationship had always seemed so simple and easy…
Or so you thought. Your mind wandered to all the sunsets you two spent together out on the water and the soft looks of concern he gave you on your worst days, when you couldn’t handle the anxiety.
You thought about the day of the accident, when he pulled you out of the water and held you shivering and wet, murmuring reassurances that you were safe. And then you thought about how angry he got at Micah, his oldest friend.
“Why else would he have gone ballistic like that?”
Willow’s words echoed in the back of your mind as you unlocked your door and made your way into the kitchen to put away your groceries. As you put away the produce you’d found the white paper pastry bag holding the Nutella taiyaki you had bought for Dresden and you eyed the crumpled paper bag cautiously.
Dresden would probably laugh when he saw the funny looking pastry. Maybe his dimples would show and the coppery fins that framed his face would twitch as he tried it.
Your thoughts halted to a stop. Why were you daydreaming about your friend? Instead of letting your thoughts whir along, you decided to do what you did when you couldn’t feel at home in your own head: you painted.
You padded to the art studio and rifled through your things for an empty canvas and acrylic paints. Instead of your usual set-up with an easel and a stool, you set the 18x24 on the ground and squirted paint onto a plastic palette. You started with a soft sand color, not unlike the sands of Driftwood Beach at sunset, and let your arm guide itself across the blank canvas. Lately, you rarely ever let yourself waste paint and a canvas without a plan, but right now you didn’t feel like thinking anything through.
You added purple shadows, painting in subtle planes of an angular face, detailing in soft cheekbones and an elegant jawline. Blues showed soft shadows cast by dark curly brown hair and a proud nose, while reds added depth and dimension to a clever face. For a playful arch of dark brows, you added grayish black to brown and touched up the curve of a playful smirk with pink an white.
When you started work on the eyes, your mind wandered to strong hands gripping tightly at your hips and back, keeping you from getting swept away. You remembered how warm hazels watched you, dark with concern and then intense with yearning.
A pleasant shiver ran down your spine at the memory. His inner irises were a rusty brown that glittered when he laughed and outer irises flashed a brilliant coppery green when serious.
You painted his facial fins to match with eyes, a uniquely striking coloring.
By the time you finished the piece hours had passed and the sun was lowering in the sky and you cursed to yourself before changing quickly and rushing out the door.
༻✦༺ ༻✧༺ ༻✦༺
You made your way out into the lake, this time paddling out on your knees, carefully balancing the bag of pastries on the tail of your board. It had been a few weeks and you weren’t scared to navigate your way farther and farther from shore anymore. Still, fear overtook you whenever you tried to swim out so you settled for adventuring through the water safely on your board. As you waited for Dresden, you straddled your board, letting your feet kick gently in the water, an accomplishment won once Dresden convinced you that plesiosaurs didn’t survive past the Cretaceous Period and wouldn’t try to take a bite out of your calf.
You watched as idly as the soft clouds rolled through the pink sky, noticing how the breeze shook the tips of gigantic redwoods. The final days of summer were flying by and soon Autumn would be upon Lake Obsidian. As you mused quietly about another year passed in this bustling little town, you saw a flash of a shimmering tale and a hand ghost up your ankle and calf. A surprised yip escaped your mouth as you flinched. Dresden popped up on the other side of your board shaking water out of drenched curls.
“Jesus Christ, Dresden, give me a heart attack why don’t you?”
“Sorry, couldn’t resist. You didn’t faint. I’d take that as a win.”
The merman smiled up at you with a big lopsided grin and you couldn’t help but notice the soft divot of dimples in his cheek. You looked away before you could get flustered, remembering your earlier conversation with Willow.
“I was in town earlier today and I saw something you might like.”
Out of the corner of your eye, you noticed the way the merman lit up and your ears warmed at his adorable expression. You reached behind you to grab the white pastry bag and reached in to hand your friend the little fish pastry, “It has chocolate in it though. I wasn’t sure if mer can even eat hazelnut spread.”
He hung onto your board while he observed the fish-shaped confection, turning it every which way before taking an eager bite.
“It’s wonderful,” he moaned, mouth full. You giggled as you ate yours, enjoying the crisp outside and gooey inside. You two munched in comfortable silence and you folded up the white paper bag and tucked it into the shoulder strap of your bikini under your rash guard to throw away when you got home.
“You humans are creative, I’ll give you that. Bring me more of those. I’ll consider it compensation for my services,” licking the remnants of chocolate off his lips.
“Excuse me?! This was your idea!” you cried, indignantly.
“And yet, you reap the benefits and get to enjoy the pleasure of my company,” he smiled up at you cheekily. Like you predicted, chocolate had dripped down onto his chin and you let out a soft snort.
“Pleasurable company with questionable table manners. Dres, you have something here,” you pointed on your own face where his face was dirtied and Dreden swiped on the wrong side of his own. You let out a little giggle at his confused expression.
“No, other side,” you tried again, laughing even harder when he wiped his arm across his jaw and made an even bigger mess. Dresden pouted but smiled nonetheless at your laughter.
“Why don’t you come down from there and help me,” he teased, splashing some water up at you making you shriek indignantly.
“Catch me then!” Before you realized what you were doing, you swung a leg over your board and pushed yourself off, awkwardly hopping into Dresden’s surprised arms with a big splash. Your hands found purchase on his broad shoulders as you got used to the chill of the water, and you enjoyed the way his arms instinctually wrapped around your waist and under your ass to keep you from sinking in the still waters. Your legs wrapped around his waist, steadying you in the gentle current.
“Good catch,” you joked teasingly, although you felt your heart rabbit in your chest a mile a minute. Still, you couldn’t help but grin at the dazed expression on Dresden’s handsome face, eyes wide in confusion and mouth agape. You reached up to his face with a wet hand and wiped at the chocolate staining his chin until it was clean.
“Thanks,” he murmured softly. You looked up to see his hazel gaze locked on yours, waiting in anticipation for your next move. Your fingers moved on their own, tracing the sinewy muscles under the smooth, tanned skin of his shoulders and you found them making their way up to a strong neck where they traced the delicate slits of flattened gills. At your soft touch, the merman let out a low moan that sent molten heat straight between your legs. His arms tightened around you, pulling you flush against a hard torso in an iron brace. You gasped softly, a whimper threatening to escape your throat.
Dresden dropped his head onto your shoulder and let out a deep shuddering breath. With strong, wide hands gripping your hips, he gently hoisted you back on your paddle board and pushed you to arms distance.
Embarrassment and self-consciousness crashed down around you, shocking you out of your haze.
Was Willow wrong? Did you make a mistake? He doesn’t actually want you like that.
“Oh god, Dresden, I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have…” you tried, but the merman was already shaking his head, a warm flush flooding his face.
“We should take a break for a couple days,” he ground out firmly. Your heart dropped to your stomach at his words.
“O-okay… Dresden, I’m sorry. I don’t know what I was thinking.”
“It’s okay. I’ll see you around,” he blurted, before diving under the water and swiftly swimming away.
You didn’t remember paddling back to shore or making your way back to your car. All you felt was the sting of rejection and the burn of tears as they filled your eyes.

hi hi!! congrats on the 500!! i'd like to get a match up with one of the tr boys :D
~~~
i'm a Taurus sun with an Aries moon and rising, my mbti is INTJ and my enneagram is 5w4. my top kins are Maki and Mai from jjk, and Atsumu, Tendou and Suga from hq.
i have a tendency to keep to myself most of the time and a really bad resting bitch face, so i don't have that many friends, but the friends i do have describe me as the overprotective mom friend and the smart friend with gifted kid burnout they can copy homework off of.
(https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSeN5TB9M/ basically sums me up pretty good)
i also have some minor daddy issues because he decided that buying me anything i wanted could substitute for an emotional bond.
my top interests are reading fantasy books, creating character designs and journalism. i'm also in my school's journalism club as one of their copyeditors.
i dislike being seen failing (if it doesn't look like effortless success to others, i don't want it). i also dislike water (nearly drowned once and was terrified ever since) and noisy people.
traits i like in people are their money (mei mei kinnie /j) loyal, easygoing, doting, and protective.
as for dates, i prefer indoor dates where we just laze around all day, and maybe watch a movie or two while cuddling.
500 milestone event (closed!!)
hello hun thanks for joining my event!! so sorry it took so long hope you enjoy this!! and im sorry for the drabble being too short uejend
Tumblr media
i match you with.. KOKONOI HAJIME
Tumblr media
okay so lets get the obv out the way,, this man is LOADED
ok next, he’s loyal idc what others think
im willing to say that koko will do anything to make the love of his life happy
apart from spoiling you with his endless amounts of money, he can be quite the sweetheart, he’ll shower you with his love and affection too
i see him as someone who’ll try to understand his partner as much as he could
mans cares more about your well being than his, if you’re happy he’s happy
he quite enjoys your protective nature of him, it makes him feel cared for and it’s like a breath of fresh air for him since most people only see him for his money
one to encourage you and help you through difficult times
“hey”
that familiar voice laced with love ripped our attention from your phone to the door, eyes meeting the snake-like ones belonging to your boyfriend.
“hey darling”
you greeted back, arms opening to allow him to run into them. his thin yet strong arms wrapped around your waist and his face nuzzled into your neck. you smaller hands rubbed his back, feeling his tense muscles relaxing.
“what d’you wanna do today?”
you asked kokonoi while you pressed a kiss to his temple.
“nothin’ just wanna stay with you.”
he mumbled into your neck, arms wrapping tighter around you and he sighs at the comforting feeling that only you can give him.

Written Ship 🌵
hiiii!! ur blog is literally the cutest thing omg ;)) i was wondering if i could get a written ship for bts, Wayv, and stray kids please? also i’m am sorry that i went a little crazy w/ my description :( <3
i am an intp/entp i literally switch between the two every time i take the test sooo… i love anything creative so writing, drawing, painting, etc. but i’m also a perfectionist and tend to be a little impatient so i restart projects a lot if it’s not exactly how i imagined it. i’m a libra sun w/ a capricorn moon!! so emotions are something i struggle expressing a lot because i don’t want to burden others. i definitely take on more than i can handle both physically and mentally but i have been trying to get better at that! i may seem a bit serious[...]
@xxminmixx Heyy cupcake!! That’s okay this was actually pretty helpful. I’m so happy I got to read more about you and thanks so much for your patience your ship is finally here…❤️❤️❤️
From Bts, I ship you with…J-Hope
Positive Side: You both lift each other up and lead each other to the right path. With his mbti being ESFJ he radiates positive energy and loves to lift other people’s moods up whether they’re happy or sad. When I read more about your description, I feel like your leaning more towards ENTP which matches very well with ESFJ. They’re both very energetic communicators and have the most lively discussions which can lead to some good work being accomplished. Your both very creative in the area of art and music which is very easy for people to identify your style and stands out in the crowd. With him being very patient and his mindset being a lot more positive he would do his best to help you work on projects when it comes writing, painting or helping you with a speech. Although he seems like a tough teacher, he’s very passionate and just wants you to succeed. When you overworking yourself, he would stop you immediately and help you relax by meditating, drinking tea, listening to some music or just taking you out on a drive to the park so you can get some fresh air. J-Hope has a sense of humor too so he has no problem with making you laugh or melt over his cuteness with his cheerful personality! He would even try to teach you dances that’ll instantly lift your mood if you ask and say the magic word. Lastly, J-Hope is someone that’ll help you find ways to love yourself and would help you on your journey with your mental health alongside his members, because he loved and cared about you that much. 
Negative Side: Everything would be sunshine's and rainbows with J-hope, but only most of the time. Sometimes J-Hope goes through his tough days, but doesn’t want to express that infront of you and have you worried about him. His smile is his mask to hide his pain and once he breaks down, it makes you want to cry and hug him. You both in a sense have a hard time expressing your emotions and don’t want to burden the other person. 
But…: After learning how to build trust and breaking down each others walls it’s become much easier to open up to each other about your inner negative thoughts about yourselves. Boy it was a night filled with tears, but it turned out to become a lot better for your relationship because now you two can easily run to each other about your problems and help each other find ways to fix it. Of course with you being more protective a over him it scares away haters and people close to you that tries to go against him in a debate. You both have each others back in any situation whether you were right or wrong. 
Tumblr media
From Wayv, I ship you with…Ten
Positive Side: Ouu now this should be interesting. Your both very entertaining together and it shows throughout your friendship and relationship as a couple. First of all when you first meet Ten he was so sweet, talkative and protective of you around the Wayv members. Once you got closer to him, he started to reveal his sassy side and sometimes loved to tease you about almost anything goofy you do. You can be rolling your eyes and he would be copying right after you just to see how you react. He’s also a man full of charisma so he knows how to make your heart flutter, but when you do it right back, he doesn’t know how to respond and just laughs with his ears turning red. Your both also very talented creative people so he would be the first to help you without having to ask and would give his most honest, but useful feedback. He’s also a very active person so he’s so down with playing sports and dancing with you. He would even use the opportunity to make his move whenever your lost on a dance move or don’t know how to properly do a kart wheel. Ten is always very confident and not afraid to say what is on his mind so he’s someone that you can look up too and that can help build confidence easily for yourself. He could tell you for hours how much he loves you and how why you shouldn’t be afraid to reach out to him for any problems with your mental health. He would be very aware of what bothers you and would do anything to his ability to fix it for you.
Negative Side: In the beginning of the dating phase, you both would debate and argue a lot often. It started off as playful teasing until it started to drag out longer then expected. It would get more intense, but never to the point where it would leave you both hurt in the mix. You two just love to bicker a lot sometimes which can sometimes give your friends a headache. Your both also very selfless and love to put each other needs first before your own which can be sometimes concerning.
But…: That’s just part of your dynamic of the relationship. One minute you can be arguing over who left the dishes on the sink last night and the next minute your cuddling in his bed saying sorry for that pointless argument. In general these issues aren’t super major to the point where it would cause you to break up. The love and bond that you have with each other is so strong that it would be hard to separate from him. 
Tumblr media
From Stray Kids, I ship you with…Felix
Positive Side: When I tell you this is your match made in heaven I’m not joking. It was so hard to choose between Felix and Han, but Felix just made a lot more sense. Felix has one of the most down to earth, loveable and such a happy virus! Almost similar to J-Hope personality whenever you just see him, he just instantly lifts your mood. On top of his beautiful deep voice and freckles that are just to die for he’s simply pure. He’s the ideal boyfriend for you and constantly meets most of your needs. His personality just collides best with any kind especially yours which is why he’s very close with all his members. Just like everyone on this list, he’s open to collaborating you in any music and art projects. He’s also kind of the perfectionist too (his Virgo traits showing lol) so he would understand if something looks out of place, but he would encourage you to keep going and finish strong. He might not be the most athletic, but he can play a mean game of football and Frisbee in the park. I can imagine you two being super competitive and tripping each other on purpose to reach out for the ball. Dirty game play, but ends in smoochy sessions. Lastly what I love about him the most is that he is very thoughtful the best boyfriend trait to have ever! He’s always rewarding you with gifts, affection and the L word any chance he get. Overall Felix is someone that you would feel comfortable sharing your whole life story and making memories with him. 
Negative Side: It was had thinking of a negative, but I would say the only issue you both tend to have is you both tend to be too stubborn. It’s very hard dealing with two people that are stubborn, because once you both made up your mind about something nothing is going to change your opinion otherwise. Now as far as when these problems would occur, it can be when your having a heated discussions about on what beat you should use for the song or where to put your new coffee mugs you just bought as a souvenir from japan. That’s also where your need for things to be almost perfect come in to play and makes the arguments way more pointless. Felix in the end always let’s you have it your way and goes on about his day. Sometimes the boys would have to step in the debates just to stop you two, because neither one of you refuse to stop. 
But: You both have a lot of heart for each other to let some petty disagreements get in the way of what you actually want to accomplish. Sometimes it’s okay to restart a song your both working on until you both agree with a beat that matches perfectly. As far as the coffee mug situation it took awhile to figure out, but in the end you both agreed to keep each other’s mugs in your rooms next to your couple picture frames of each other. These arguments might seem dragged out and over something small, but you both always find a way to compromise.
Tumblr media
Out of everyone I ship you the most with…Felix🤍

⏪ P J’s PokéAni Rewind 2019
Tumblr media
Hello, yes I’m still alive for those wondering or care at all :] Just been taking an indefinite leave from all my social media accounts (though you can still see me on Discord: PokémonJesus#2495) since mid-November going through some personal self-discovery journey...nobody misses me anyways. I’ll address that maybe in a future post, but let’s not make this about me...because RIGHT NOW it is time for my 4th annual year-end (and favorite) Tumblr tradition! 2019 was a stressful year for me personally (as you can tell I’ve been on and off  here), and I appreciate all of the friends I’ve made within this fandom who’ve stuck with me through it. It was also the year of the successful launch of my new PokéAni exclusive side-blog @pokeaniepisodes​ where I would do my weekly episode blogging/screen-caps/GIFs for the #pokeani tag. Within the span of 10 months, I would gain over 1,000 followers! Thank you to those who have followed me there as well. Obviously due to my current circumstances, that has been put on halt as well after Sun & Moon ended. Apologies, but I’ll be back in 2020 hopefully. As for PokéAni, it was bittersweet as we bid Alola farewell with the Sun & Moon series ending heading into the next generation series. If you’re curious to hear what I have to say about the new series, well here’s your post! The Pokémon anime has officially wrapped up for this year with Ash & Go in the Hoenn region earlier today, in where he WON another tournament showing Go how it’s done! But now, it is time to highlight some of the best episodes (this post will be following the original Japanese release dates, but will still be using the English/game dub names for a universal understanding by all) I personally found noteworthy from each month. Without further ado, let’s take a look back at what the Pokémon anime had to offer in 2019. 1, 2, 3. LET’S GO!
JANUARY - Hello Hapu
Tumblr media
The Poni Island adventures begin! And also, the road to Ash’s final grand trial to complete. This mini-arc started a very fun series of character-centric episodes among the main cast and their Pokémon while they were in the island without Professor Kukui’s guidance. From Sophocles’s Charjabug evolving to a Vikavolt, and Lana’s Popplio evolving to Brionne (plus getting Primarium Z!). But the highlight out of all of this was the character arc of the soon-to-be Poni Island Kahuna, Hapu! She was a stubborn trainer who didn’t want to interact with anyone or battle Ash. She eventually opened up to him and his friends slowly after getting back her stolen radishes from Team Skull (the first appearance of Plumeria as well). She was a key figure on the class’ expedition throughout  Poni for their respective research projects, while Tapu Fini and her late grandfather keep an eye on her progress. Eventually when she did became Kahuna, Ash finally had his rightful battle with her for a grand trial. She didn’t gain only a new set of confidence, but a new set of friends too.
FEBRUARY - Mama Mallow makes us cry
Tumblr media
As the group continues doing their personal research projects in Poni Island, and after Kiawe clears his own trial with Tapu Fini, we get a feels trip to Mallow’s past. Thanks to Tapu Fini’s mysterious mist that allows people to see the departed, Mallow relives her childhood days with her mother. We not only get a teary backstory of what Mallow said to her ill mother before passing away, but also Lillie & Gladion’s attempt to see their “deceased” father, Mohn. Mallow seeking proper closure, finally reunites with her mother in the mist as they spend as much time catching up with one another ever since their improper argument at the hospital. We then discovered that Bounsweet was actually caught by her mom before gifting it to Mallow as her first Pokémon...who is now a fully evolved Tsareena. There were a lot of good moments like seeing the Stoutland that (as if this wasn’t enough of a feels trip) help raised Ash’s Torracat when it was still a Litten, and that Mohn is nowhere to be found in the mist meaning that he’s still alive! Stoutland’s final gift to Torracat was upgrading its Ember move to eventually learning to use Fire Blast. But the most important thing about this episode, is that it teaches us to be grateful to our parents (or those who raised us) even when it looks like they don’t seem to care, we misunderstand and overlook how much they truly care for us. Never take things for granted and live in the moment. In the end, Mallow’s mom gave her one final gift before going back to the afterlife, a Shaymin to care for. Thanks mom :’)
Tumblr media
MARCH - Ya boi is never too late!
Tumblr media
All we can just say when he was first announced was...finally...or about time! Team Skull boss Guzma’s long awaited appearance in the Pokémon anime happened when he and the rest of his gang visited the Pokémon School to confront Professor Kukui. After hearing about the official announcement that the first Alola League was going to happen, Guzma is determined to eliminate everything for what it stands for. Meanwhile, everyone in Alola wanted to get in on the action for an opportunity to become a champion, that includes Ash who stood up to Guzma for Kukui. After wiping the floor with Team Rocket, Guzma battles Ash taking interest with his utilization of the Z-Power Ring. Despite newly perfecting Corkscrew Crash, it had almost no damage on Guzma’s Golisopod. As the battle rages on, Golisopod’s Emergency Exit activates when Pikachu starts to get an upper hand. A stubborn Guzma not wanting to admit what really happened leaves and berates Ash as he sends a clear message on his vow to destroy the Alola League. Guzma and Kukui went face-to-face before Team Skull left, and it’s clear that his intentions were more personal. There’s always a reason behind of it all, and Guzma was seeking for vengeance.
APRIL - Mohn is missing
Tumblr media
After discovering that their father may still be alive (as mentioned in my February highlight), Lillie and her family are searching for answers with the help of the Aether Foundation. Lusamine then confesses to her kids about an Ultra Wormhole incident that caused Mohn to disappear. As they continue to get more info, they stumble upon Mohn’s room and discovered two very important treasures. A Z-Ring which he used to wear, and a Magearna that doesn’t seem to be responsive. Lillie decides to wear and use her Z-Ring until her father is found, while also finding away to bring the Magearna he left back to life. With the blessing of Kahuna Hala and her friends’ support, she deicides to finally put her Icium-Z to good use by practicing the Subzero Slammer Z-move with Snowy now that she finally has a Z-Ring at hand. She fails at her first attempt, it won’t keep her down from practicing until she gets it right. The episode ends on a very touching note with Lillie reading an entry from her father’s old journal revealing that Mohn did in fact bought an inactive Magearna in hopes to restore it to give it to his one and only daughter as a gift <3
MAY - Lana’s lure of fate
Tumblr media
In one of my personal favorite episodes (totally not because she’s my favorite and the best girl), I got shut up for even doubting that her Brionne would evolve this soon (don’t you just hate it when anime previews spoil?). Lana finally decides to make her dream a reality (referenced in previous episodes) to hook a Kyogre at sea! With the help of Ash, they were able to track down a Kyogre that suddenly appeared while the class were fishing. When they discovered that the Kyogre had been poisoned by Pokémon hunters, Lana decides to cure it with an antidote hooked to a special Misty lure she had been given while Ash deals with the troublemakers. Even after curing the poison, the hunters attempting to catch Kyogre made it rage even more. Lana tries to save it by trying to hook him out of the Hunter’s capturing device. She was successful in freeing it but ended up dragging her to the ocean rapidly as a storm develops from an angered Kyogre. And it was at that moment when Brionne wanted to save her  trainer from getting dragged all over, evolving to Primarina was the only way to end this perfect storm. Primarina’s singing calmed down Kyogre, as Lana lifts up her rod graciously with Kyogre in the sky. Dream achieved, and a moment has been made with new sea friend. Now when Lana tells this story, it’s actually the truth and there will be no one laughing now! Later on another episode, Lana & Primarina would learn how to use and master the Oceanic Operatta Z-move, and it’s all thanks to the hook of this Kyogre. I’m sure Misty is proud as well :)
JUNE - Kid Kukui and Little Litten
Tumblr media
There’s a Celebi in this episode...you know what that means. Back to the past! While Ash was training with his Pokémon for the Alola League, a Celebi stumbles upon them and transport Ash & Torracat to the same place where they were at, but only many years ago. They meet this little kid that had Litten with him and it was clearly obvious that his was younger Kukui and his (The Masked Royal’s) Incineroar who hasn’t evolved yet. However, Ash still had no idea he was in the past and treated little Kukui like any other kid he’d meet traveling. The two bond throughout the episode with their similar attitude when it comes to battling, and Ash gladly guided the little kid on executing Z-moves with their Pokémon. The two even worked together assisting a Totem Trevenant in sheltering all the nearby Pokémon as a rainstorm approaches. Thanks to the good heart of Ash helping out everyone, he receives his own Firium Z from the same Trevenant that gave Kukui his Firium Z. He eventually gets back to his timeline where it seemed to have an effect on the present day Kukui. If it wasn’t for that meeting, maybe the professor would’ve had his vision of forming an Alola Pokémon League if it wasn’t for that mysterious older boy he met with his Torracat. A Pokémon time paradox? Maybe...but what I loved about this story is that it repeats itself for the next episode but from the perspectives of Ash’s Pokémon that were left behind in hopes of finding their trainer. Really reminds me of that time Pokémon got separated from their trainers during S.S. Anne arc in the original series, only difference is that the perspectives of the trainers and Pokémon were happening at the same time. But you gotta love a pure whacky Pokémon adventure! Pretty much like a Pikachu short you see before movies.
Tumblr media
JULY - Let the League begin!
Tumblr media
The moment everyone has been waiting for...the Alola League has officially begun! With everyone prepared to unleash their Z-Power, it’s time for the qualifying round to start. Unlike previous Leagues, this starts off with a free-for-all Battle Royal with a total of 151 competitors but only 16 will advance to the next round. Most of the trainers in this League are recognizable characters if you have watched Sun & Moon in its entirety up to this point. From Mina to Kahili to Acerola to the entire Team Skull gang to Hiroki and even Pikala, every Alola character is here! While all the Island Kahunas serves as the officials for the event. It was fun way to kick-off a 4-month long League arc and they couldn’t have it done any other way. The top 16 has been decided and it gave us good match-ups to follow in the next couple of episodes such as, Mallow vs. Lana, a childhood friend clash which also tests Mallow’s courage in battling. Our favorite Team Rocket duo in disguise facing off against one another (can’t remember when was the last time we saw that). A sibling battle and a trial on how far Lillie has gone as a Pokémon trainer facing off against her strong big brother, Gladion. And of course, the friendly birby rematch between Ash and Hau. The line-up of matches is stacked! I could not remember how hyped I was for this long-awaited League arc. Some battles might’ve been short and quick, but every participant mattered! How can you not love the Sun & Moon series?
AUGUST - The Alola Final Four
Tumblr media
And then, there were four. In the semi-finals bracket, we first have Gladion facing off against Kiawe who defeated Acerola and bested a friend in Sophocles. He’s pretty much the dark horse in this, but he’s been working hard all series with his battling to get to this point. As Lillie and Mimo (Hoshi) cheer on their big brothers, it was Gladion who got the upper hand and the two exchange in a very meaningful handshake of sportsmanship. Meanwhile on the other side of the semi-finals, Guzma, who blasted through Ilima and Lana, getting his rematch with Ash seeking for retribution after his soft defeat the last time they faced off. It was a clash of personalities as the Team Skull boss vows to get to Kukui by destroying someone who resembles him in Ash and get a big W for his fellow Team Skull outcasts. This battle was more than just advancing through the semi-finals but also the integrity of what the League will become if Guzma is successful in his ploy. Guzma was very aggressive during this match to the point of even scolding his Golisopod. But when you mad, you don’t focus well and that became Guzma’s downfall eventually resulting in his defeat against Ash who battled with his heart. Guzma had to learn the hard way, maybe softened his mindset a bit, but even after losing Plumeria and the rest of the grunts still want to be by his side improving their own skills in battle to be like their fearless leader. You never see a heartwarming ending for a “villainous” team in Pokémon before, but I think Team Skull had their own happy ending.
SEPTEMBER - The “Curse” is finally broken
Tumblr media
Ash vs. Gladion. Here we go, the League finals to determine the inaugural champion of Alola. I mean I already made solo-post last September about how BIG this episode/moment was for our capped hero. Their rivalry has been amazing from the get-go. From their first meeting at the beach by Kukui’s place with a feisty Rockruff that wanted to battle, to the Manalo Stadium battling for a prestigious championship title with Ash’s Lycanroc fully controlled over its rage with dirt. It wasn’t a full battle, but 3-on-3 showdown served us one heck of battle! It may not be considered the best by many, but it was still an amazing and fun bout between two trainers who promised each other to meet in the finals of the big stage. The laugh they shared, the flashbacks that was shown to us (with the awesome Type: Wild! music playing in the background), and the storytelling of who wants it more makes you get to the edge of your seat, cheering for Ash to finally win a major Pokémon League. Ash’s newly evolved Melmetal showcased it’s new strength but still wasn’t able to beat Gladion’s  Silvally. Then, when Zoroark and Pikachu knocked each other out, it was the 1v1 Lycanroc battle that really put this friendly and competitive rivalry full circle.
Tumblr media
Ash has NEVER defeated Gladion...until this moment. He’s been training for this, and it finally paid off. The two Lycanroc’s took no prisoners and went back and forth with one another. In the final blow of that match, Gladion’s Lycanroc used Counter against Ash’s Lycanroc that was charging towards it, but then our big brained hero fights back with their own Counter attack. Never have I heard of Countering a Counter in the Pokémon universe, but using it in this one moment nobody expects, it was the HYPEST way to swerve fans from almost losing the match but ultimately gave an epic counterattack that would knock out Gladion’s Lycanroc. And for the first time since the Orange League, Ash is a Champion. Only this time it is a way bigger deal! Mostly because this is a game-based series which has more meaning when it comes to the Pokémon League.
Tumblr media
Old fans, new fans, and casual viewers a like were buzzing within 24 hours after this episode released in Japan that caught mainstream media attention. People who have never seen a Pokémon anime episode in their life (or a subbed episode for that matter) past the original series, wanted to see how this episode went down to see a childhood hero achieve a major trophy. This is how big of a pop-culture icon Ash & Pikachu was among many generations of fans since the show’s launch internationally. This was truly THE PokéAni moment of 2019. Again, big congratulations to our Alola Champion, Ash Ketchum/Satoshi! Too bad Guzzlord had to ruin the closing ceremony afterparty... 
OCTOBER - A fiery full final battle
Tumblr media
So after becoming Alola Champion, sending three Guzzlords back to where they came from, reuniting with Poipole who evolved into a Naganadel, and The Masked Royal’s identity publicly revealed as Professor Kukui ALL IN THE SAME NIGHT! We finally get our exhibition match between Ash and The Masked Royal, who would like to go under his real identity. This is the final battle, and the promised reward the first Alola Champion gets. This is honestly also reward to the fans giving us one final hoorah for the Alola region with a full 6-on-6 Pokémon battle! I believe this is the only full battle we got to see in Alola and it was definitely worth the anticipation and surprise. Kukui had a lot of secret Pokémon up his sleeve that the viewers don’t know about (unless you get spoiled by freakin’ Oha Suta), and it is also the first and only official battle that Naganadel will be part of under Ash’s team. So the excitement levels of this fun 5-PART episode battle were off the roof! Kukui had amazing Pokémon that he kept a secret, but what I do want to focus in this spotlight is the showdown between Incineroar and Torracat. Just like with the Lycanroc duel, these two have similar stories with Torracat never being able to beat The Masked Royal/Kukui’s Incineroar. Ever since it was still a Litten, the desire to battle strong opponents still burns inside. As the two fiery cats clash in this epic battle, both sides have the same intensity when receiving and taking attacks.
Tumblr media
As the battle worn out, both Kukui and Ash activated their Z-Rings together to use Inferno Overdrive against each other. After a gigantic explosion from the Z-move collision it was Torracat who was the last Pokémon standing finally beating its personal battle rival. After a victory screech, I was surprised as everyone seeing it fully evolve into Incineroar. Unfortunately, that evolution took a toll on the newly evolved Pokémon and is unable to continue further. Rest well big kitty, you beat who you wanted to beat and deserve a good rest.
Tumblr media
As if that wasn’t epic enough, in the final phase of this full battle, Tapu Koko steps in and serves as Kukui’s last Pokémon and even granting both parties to be able to use Z-moves once again. Fast forward, Ash and Pikachu finally defeated their first opponent when they first set foot in the Alola region with the Z-Ring Tapo Koko gave them in the first place. It clearly now knows that Ash was a worthy holder of using Z-Power and a Champion that everyone can look  up to. What a battle. What a series. Thank you Alola. Thank you Sun & Moon.
NOVEMBER - Pikachu Origins
Tumblr media
Enter the next chapter. The new era of the Pokémon anime finally launched this in a very different way. The first episode basically serves as the prequel to the Pokémon anime series before Ash had set out on his quest to become a Pokémon Master. Long story short, we can Pikachu’s background story on how he came to be the loving mascot recognized everywhere on paper. I mean who would’ve thunk it? I just love the fact that we’re getting an origin story of how Ash’s Pikachu when it was still a wild Pichu. Although it wasn’t explained how Professor Oak ended up catching the little guy, Pikachu always had a good heart (you know despite rejecting Ash at first lol). The most adorable thing about this episode was the family bond Pichu temporarily shared with this little Kangaskhan family. The little guy was an outcast not really sure where to go or what to do except survive and find food. When that Kangaskhan picked him up as if it was one of its babies, and gained a new caring sibling in the process. It was a wholesome story of calling someone family even though there is no blood relation. Pichu was literally not their kind, but they still loved him as it was them!
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, we get a little preview of our new characters from seeing their childhood and setting up the premise for them to cross paths with Ash in the future. The newest protagonist, Go, was a little know-it-all about Pokémon, and he sure bragged a lot of his knowledge on it during one of Professor Oak’s camp (in which Ash failed to wake up for). Along with his worrisome friend, Koharu, they spotted a Mew while going off course in Oak’s tour around their campsite. It would also be the saving grace of the lost baby Kangaskhan who accidentally fell off a cliff after attempting to play with the Mew. After seeing Mew’s psychic abilities, it was clear for Go that he needed to catch Mew one day. This is the initial goal that Go wanted to set out for when he’s old enough.
Tumblr media
After the incident with his Kangaskhan sibling, Pichu had to re-think if he wants to continue being a part of a pack that he doesn’t even properly belong it in the first place. When the herd of Kangaskhan took shelter in cave during heavy rain, Pichu had to make a tough decision and leave his foster family behind while they were asleep because he knew that the mother Kangaskhan would not let go of someone who it sees as a child of her own. Pichu knew that was the only way, but despite his sad decision he was grateful for the happiness they provided for a lone wolf Pokémon that wandered in the wild looking belong somewhere. It was that same happiness that gave Pichu the strength to evolve to the Pikachu we all know today, and found a forever home with a certain tardy boy a couple of years later that they both formed an inseparable friendship.
DECEMBER - The Great Gigantamax in Galar
Tumblr media
Of course, you can’t have a new series without showing off a new region?! As our “research fellows” Ash & Go continue their exploration in the Galar region learning more about the Dynamax phenomenon that causes Pokémon to grow bigger in size, they are about to be in for one gigantic dilemma. They had some trouble when they met a bunch of trickster Pokémon in those Nickit and a dirty Scorbunny trying to steal their food, but that wasn’t the last they saw of that Scorbunny. When they took the train to explore the Wild Area, Scorbunny secretly tagged along in hopes to be partners with Go after feeling a connection with the trainer during their first encounter. After MANY attempts of trying get Go’s attention, he finally notices Scorbunny after it kicks a rock to knock down fruit on top of a Snorlax they were observing (that hits Ash’s head first oof). Scorbunny attempts to get caught by Go, but he declined due to his vow for Mew to be his first catch. After the sad rejection, red lights then start to surround the Snorlax that ended up Dynamaxing it to Gigantamax Snorlax! This caused a big road blockage that affects a train line in that area. Ash, Pikachu, Go and Scorbunny decide to team up and move the Snorlax before the next train comes by to avoid a disaster from happening. Ash and Pikachu were able  to cut down a big fruit from the Gigantamax Snorlax’s body and pass it on to Go and Scorbunny to make sure he jumps (just like earlier from Scorbunny’s accidental fruit pick) for that fruit in time for the train to pass by without anyone getting hurt. It was a tough task getting all the way up to the belly of beast, but thanks the Double Kick boost Scorbunny gave that big fruit, Snorlax not only moved in time for the next train to stop by, but return back to normal (big) size.
Tumblr media
Unfortunately, Scorbunny was also swallowed in that big gulp, but it was a good thing that Snorlax didn’t munch it all the way. After the teamwork Go felt with Scorbunny during all that, he decides to modify his dream a bit and wants Scorbunny to now be his first Pokémon catch. Both are happy to be with one another, and we all know this was going to be the start of wonderful friendship. With this addition to the group, the main cast for the new anime series is now fully-set. Let the true adventures around the Pokémon world begin!
Some honorable mentions…
2019 for PokéAni marked an end of an era, but a start of a new one too! No doubt one of the most impactful years the show has had in the world since the XY&Z arc. Besides the historic Alola League, we also saw the continuation of Brock & Misty’s trip to Alola (not to mention Brock & Olivia’s adorkable interactions together), the class’ crash-course golf lessons with none other than Kahili! Ash catching a rare Meltan that appeared out of nowhere, The Sparkling Trio of Mallow, Lana & Lillie uniting as Alola DrinKyun (’Refreshing Trio: Alola Idols’ in the English dub), Ash challenging Ryuki’s Kantonian Gym, the high-speed Vikavolt race, Mallow’s vision in opening her Pokémon café, Matori’s unexpected visit to the Team Rocket base in Alola, and let’s not for get about the Ultra Guardians finishing up their final missions in capturing the remaining UBs: Pheromosa and Kartana. And honestly, after seeing all of Sun & Moon, can everyone just agree that Kukui is the BEST Pokémon professor?!
Tumblr media
Of course, how can I not mention the final episode of Sun & Moon? In what was probably one of the most emotional farewell episodes in the anime’s history. If you don’t have bias from the original goodbye with Brock & Misty in Johto, this would probably be the best one. It was executed perfectly with Ash’s class figuring out what to do in the future with Ash himself not sure what to do moving forward. Naganadel had to return back to its homeworld, the Rockets had to say leave their Alola Pokémon with Bewear as she sends them off one final time, Nebby returns to see Ash one final time, and Lillie decides to search for her father away from Alola after brining Magearna to life. With everyone deciding what to do, Ash heads back home to explore the world (which transitions to the new series) leaving all his Alola Pokémon behind in Kukui’s lab, while Rotom Dex decides to work for the Aether Foundation. The boat scene with Lillie was a good touch on how her character evolved thanks to Ash’s help, and the departing airport scene with Kukui, Burnet, and Ash group hugging was touching. Even Ash teared up as he gets in the air leaving Alola as his friends and Pokémon he left behind wave goodbye. If that wasn’t a good send off for the Sun & Moon series, Mallow’s Shaymin finally achieved its Sky Forme (which have her mother’s eyes...could be a touching symbolism that she was always watching her ;_;) from a Gracidea flower before taking off, AND ON TOP OF THAT, the final shot of the series no less, we find out that Professor Burnet is pregnant. Never in the history of this anime has ever done that to a major character in the supporting cast. The Sun & Moon series continues to break ground as one of the best Pokémon series.
Other than that, we got the new series (which I still wish we had a proper sub-title for -_-) giving us a taste of what to expect in the new Generation VIII era. Our newly appointed research fellows, Ash & Go are at Professor Sakuragi’s Institute helping with his research along with Mimey and Koharu helping out with the household chores. Lugia brought these two together, and are now living under the same roof. And, can we talk about Mimey?! I’m so glad a classic character from this anime is being used as a permanent supporting character for this series. Not to mention that he battled alongside Ash in the Hoenn tournament and won! It’s also refreshing to see updated animation within Kanto where they’re home base is at, and I absolutely cannot wait for them to go back to other regions with this fresh new art style. With Go’s goal to catch every Pokémon there is for him to index, he’s bound to meet Mew again one day! He’s literally every Pokémon games’ protagonist and I’m glad we have a main character like him who actually focuses on catching them all. As for Ash, he’s still our Ash carving his own unique path on his continuing journey to become a Pokémon Master because it’s more than being the strongest trainer and more than just catching Pokémon. I’m going to take his word for it! I don’t know if you noticed, but Go kinda looks up to him a bit due to his experiences in battle. Just look how shy he was just wanting to be his friend. You just gotta love it when they make Ash this mentor-type friend especially now coming off a huge victory in the Alola League becoming a champion.
Tumblr media
Overall, the Sun & Moon anime gave us a variety of different set of stories every week leading up to the anticipated Alola League. Everyone had a story to tell building up to the Alola League, and just look at the list of episodes we’ve had this year that went back and forth with characters that get a main focus other than Ash (or even Lillie). Most of these episodes I’m talking about are either development for a Pokémon in their team evolving, or a perfecting a Z-move with their respective Z-Crystals. This shows much the writers care about each main character gets enough screen-time before they’re ready to take on the League with Ash. If you are still thinking on whether or not to continue/finish watching the series if you haven’t yet, I would still recommend to please watch until the end! It’s a really fun ride to sit through it all in my humble opinion, unless you want to just bolt straight into the League episodes only caring about Ash’s story. You do you. As for the new series, it will definitely pick up the pace sooner or later with the initial episodes are setting up to lead into something bigger. If you aren’t hooked in yet, definitely be patient because I’m expecting a lot of good opportunities for them to pull off in this cross-region based format. Sure it isn’t based 100% on the latest games in the franchise Sword & Shield, but that’s what separates the anime and the games. The anime is doing its own thing with an original story, but I’m pretty sure they will mix-in some of the interesting storylines and feature important characters from Sword & Shield every time they revisit Galar because it’s the new region on the block. They should feature/market a lot of episodes from all the new content Galar has. So I would definitely still keep my eyes on the Pocket Monsters series 👀
And there you have it! This post as long as it already is, so I’ll stop here. If you’ve read everything I had to say (maybe a few typos here and there lol), then thank you for your time! Feel free share your own favorite PokéAni moment 2019 with a reblog or a reply if you choose to do so. Thanks so much for an amazing year, and it’s time for us to GO to 2020. More moments await for us, and maybe even some surprises we might see since Ash is returning to previous regions he already visited in the past. See everyone in 2020 for the first full year of the new ‘Pocket Monsters’ series. Let’s go (with Go heh) and have some fun! Yes, I think used the word ‘go’ here too many freakin’ times lol
Tumblr media
Happy New Year to all my followers, and the rest of the Pokémon fandom!

ALBUM REVIEW- Man On The Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager
Tumblr media
“You see the sun seems to shine, when I, am not looking/ Oh, it seems to trick every time/ Things do get out of hand once awhile, inside my mental/ Hey, I took one hell of a ride/ When I see what is so, I know, I am not lucky/ Yeah I like to pat my own back/ It's a gift and a curse, since my birth I'm in a prison/ Though I'm happy right where I'm at”
A year after his excellent debut Man On The Moon: End of Day, Kid Cudi releases the sequel Man On The Moon II: Legend of Mr. Rager. Continuing the mellow, eerie, psychedelic production, Cudi continues on the trail he blazed with a new story. On his sophomore album, Cudi gets even closer to his audience, confronting his struggles and addiction.
Kid Cudi further paves his own lane with Man On The Moon II: Legend of Mr. Rager. This album continues the good aspects of his previous project and drops the parts I disliked. Through a persona “Mr. Rager”, Cudi talks about his drug addiction when coping with fame and popularity. The album itself is a narrative. We see Cudi start off positive on tracks like “Mojo So Dope” and “Ashin Kusher”, dip on tracks like “All Along” and come to middle ground of acceptance on “Trapped In My Mind”. Every aspect of this project is consistent; from the tone, production, and lyricism, everything matches the narrative well. I would not recommend trying to find one stand out track on this project, as you would be listening to an incomplete concept.
On the previous record, Man on The Moon: End of Day, I mentioned “Make Her Say” felt out of place. Here, there’s no oddball track that feels like a grab for mainstream success. I have favorite tracks from this record, but none of them sacrifice the story of the album. This definitely gives it a leg above its predecessor.
The production, as expected, is phenomenal. The production is spacey and isolating. He utilizes sounds from Rock and Hip Hop, including electric guitars, kicks and echoey drums, an immense range of basses, and the occasional electric, techy sound to create a surreal listening experience. Not quite as psychedelic as his first project, but still bringing some of that trippy aura. I can feel the loneliness Cudi expresses. Even on more upbeat tracks, there’s a twang to them that foreshadows the oncoming wave of negativity. 
The features on this project are solid, my favorite being Kanye West on “Erase Me”. As always, the two collaborate well. My second favorite would be both of Mary J. Blige’s appearances on “Don’t Play This Song” and “These Worries”, the latter being the better of the two.
As I mentioned earlier, this album is a narrative transitioning from the positive feeling to the negative feeling of Cudi’s/Mr. Rager’s drug dependency. So the tracks are split before and after this negative transition, the first half being more upbeat and the second half being more intense and dark. In my opinion, the second half of this project was much better than the first. The five track run from “REVOFEV” to “Mojo So Dope” felt like a lull. The production was great, but it didn’t have much standing out. Although I think “We Aite (Wake Your Mind Up)” was an experimental instrumental and stood out from the lull. On the dark side, “All Along” stood out from the rest. The instrumental was top 3 on the album. The concept was heart-wrenching and touching. It would’ve made a great conclusion/outro track. 
Man On The Moon II: Legend of Mr. Rager is a solid sophomore release in Cudi’s discography. Although not as grand and epic as his debut, this album should be a go to for anyone who can appreciate the conceptual, deep-cutting narrative of Mr. Rager.
Top 3 Tracks:
1) All Along
2) Ashin’ Kusher
3) Erase Me
Overall Grade: B+
