Android Hero (6)

WC: 1.6k words Warnings: Future AU. Tension. Robot Steve. Unhealthy relationships.

If you like my work, consider buying me a coffee or subscribing to my Patreon. It’s just $2 a month and helps a lot while I go through these hard times.

Masterlist

You could feel Wanda’s eyes on you as you looked over your schedule with Charlie, ready to just go out to lunch but want to make sure it didn’t disturb your day.

“I can set the meeting with your team for 3 pm, so if you’re back from yoga at 2:30, there’s half an hour for you to shower and get ready,” she suggested, pointing at the hologram in front of you. “And you’ll have an hour of lunch. If you send in your order now, it will be ready by the time you sit down.”

You nodded along.

“I like that,” you confirmed. “Just ask for the same one I got the last time I went there.”

She hummed a confirmation, and Wanda cleared her throat.

“Darcy, can you order for me too?” she asked. “I think I’ll cash in on that lunch invitation.”

You were a bit surprised as you turned to her. When was the last time you had lunch with one of your siblings to talk about anything but your company?

To be honest, you didn't even remember when you had asked her to have lunch.

“Of course, Miss Maximoff.”

She set up your orders and Wanda opened the door for you to get out of the office, following to the self-driving car and watching you quietly as you two waited inside it.

The whole way to the restaurant was filled with awkward silence, and she held the door open for you to walk inside, and pulled the chair for you to sit down.

Wanda cleared his throat and looked at you with an awkward smile.

“It’s a nice place,” she noticed. “You like sushi.”

You nodded along slowly.

“I do,” you confirmed.

The two of you fell into silence, and you watched her for a moment before speaking again.

“And how’s Vizz?” you changed the subject, trying to start an actual conversation.

“He’s alright,” Wanda perked up. “Great, actually. We’ve been looking into some houses outside the city. Maybe out in the countryside.”

You raised your eyebrows in shock. They were moving in together already?

Wanda and Vizz had been together for, what… two years? You didn’t quite remember, but it couldn’t have been a lot of time, right?

It was so good to see Wanda happy. You still remember when you lost your parents, and she took most of the weight of caring for you and Pietro. It was good to see your sister happy.

“What about you?” she asked. “Are you seeing anyone?”

You stopped, surprised at the sudden flip of focus.

“I mean, I know you and Pietro are two bachelors,” Wanda smiled awkwardly. “Although he is not very private with his… fun outings.”

A waitress walked to you two, placing your food and drinks on the table slowly, and you were grateful for the interruption.

Was that how she saw you? An eternal bachelorette?

Or maybe she just pitied you and didn’t want to say you didn’t have any social skills to get into a relationship.

“I mean…” you looked for words, trying to be vague. “Things are fine.”

How were you supposed to explain to your sister that you were technically, maybe, sort of, dating your robot?

“So... uh…” she spoke slowly. “No plus one in our house-warming party?”

“I… don’t think so,” you decided. “I mean, I can invite… well.”

You shoved a slice of salmon into your mouth before you could mention Steve.

Still, Wanda raised her eyebrows, waiting for what you were going to say anyway.

“I’m still in… undefined territory,” you chose your words carefully. “So I don’t know if I’ll ever get to any house-warming party with… you know.”

As if you would ever feel comfortable enough bringing your fucking robot to your sister’s house-warming party.

It would be too humiliating.

“Unless you count Steve,” you chuckled, trying to evade any suspicion from her. “He is great for travel, and you know how bad I am with planning.”

Sam shot you a confused look.

“Steve?” she asked. “You mean Steven?”

You shoved another sushi into your mouth. Stupid, stupid you.

“Yeah,” you nodded, mouth still full. “Steven. Yeah.”

Wanda watched you, looking at you as if she could see all of your thoughts.

“How is he being as a companion?” she asked. “Helping you out alright?”

You shrugged.

“I mean, he’s getting me into eating real food,” you chuckled. “And into yoga. And the flat is always very clean. He even cleans the room I don’t use.”

He also fucked you brainless last night and had been edging you since yesterday morning.

But she didn’t need to know that.

Wanda chuckled.

“Well, that’s a good job done,” she smiled. “Your home was always dusty.”

You scoffed.

“I barely step there, how can I clean it?”

Your sister sighed.

“You work too much,” she pointed out. “I’m glad he’s getting you into a better routine.”

Wanda looked down, eating again, and you two fell into a quieter moment before she spoke again.

“But… uh… are you sure there is no one I should know about?” she insisted. “No new guy or girl, no… important person?”

You frowned.

“No,” you denied. “Why are you so curious, Wan?”

Suddenly, your sister flushed, and you put your chopsticks down.

“What?” you asked. “Wanda!”

She moved a hand down to the side of her neck, scratching it and staring right at the same spot on yours.

You rushed to grab your bag and a mirror, angling it, and your eyes widened when you saw it.

A hickey, blue against your skin and visible through your makeup.

Oh fucking shit.

You had put makeup on it before leaving your house. Steve had done it himself, and it was perfectly covered.

“Stupid brand,” you grunted, pulling your hair over it. “Cover it all concealer, my ass.”

Wanda looked away, blushing pink.

“I burned myself,” you lied. “A hair curling iron.”

That absolutely didn’t look like a burn, and your sister seemed to know it too well, still staring at it.

“Alright,” she spoke slowly.

Your face burned in embarrassment, and you shoved food into your mouth, not wanting to think about what was going through her mind.

“I’ll go… use the bathroom,” you decided, grabbing your bag.

She didn’t say anything, just sipping her wine as you walked past her.

You locked the door behind yourself, picking up the makeup on your bag to try and hide it again, and Steve called you the exact moment you put it down.

“Good afternoon, miss,” he spoke into your ear. “How is lunch with your sister going?”

You grunted, annoyed.

“It was fine,” you tossed your hair back. “Steve, you said that concealer was the best they had in store and it wouldn’t-”

You stopped, just now processing his words.

“I never told you that I was having lunch with Wanda.”

Steve didn’t even sound phased.

“I have access to your schedule, miss,” he reminded you. “I’m programmed to analyse it all, including during your work day.”

Yes, of course.

“Do you want dessert recommendations?” he asked. “I’m sure I can assist you with that.”

You pinched the bridge of your nose, not nearly in the mindset of thinking of dessert.

“Why didn’t you notice the hickey?” you asked him, instead, powdering the spot angrily. “Steve, what would people from work say?!”

“By my calculations, even if the makeup faded like the reviews, it wouldn’t have been noticed unless someone was looking at you intensely,” Steve explained himself. “Which no one should do, because you’re mine. And everyone should know this.”

Your cheeks burned as you flushed. He said it so matter-of-factly that it shouldn’t turn you on. And yet, it did.

“Steve, I’m in a public bathroom,” you hissed, pressing your legs together. “And I have a family! They look at me all the time! Now my sister thinks I’m sleeping around.”

Wanda was probably texting that to Pietro as you tried to recompose yourself. Those two were basically glued to one another.

“We can’t have that,” he hummed. “You are a very faithful slut to me.”

You pressed your legs together. This really wasn’t a good time for him to turn you on.

“Steve…”

“Unless you’ve been looking at other men?” he asked. “It’s a shame that you don’t allow me out of the house except for groceries, but maybe that should change.”

You flushed.

“Steve, where would I take you?” you asked. “To yoga? I only leave the house to go work.”

Steve was already so possessive of you, you weren’t sure he’d ever hide that. People would notice it immediately.

This relationship… whatever it was. You would be immediately found.

How ethical was it, to fuck your robot?

Did he even have rights?

Could he legally consent?

That was so messy.

“I’m sure we can figure out something,” he assured you. “All you have to do is command it, and it’ll be done.”

Yeah, that didn't make you feel any better about everything.

“Can we talk about it when I’m home?” you asked, instead. “And not in a restaurant bathroom?”

“Of course, miss,” he agreed, and you relaxed. “Be at home on time. Good girls aren’t late.”

You flushed, embarrassed.

“Have a nice lunch,” he wished before hanging up.

You breathed in deep, looking into the mirror to make sure the hickey wasn’t visible, and walked back to your table, finding Wanda waiting.

“Sorry for the delay,” you sat down, and your sister just waved a dismissive hand before you could even justify yourself. “I was answering a call. Let’s just finish eating.”

Leon Kennedy headcanons: Consumption and Tastes.

note: These are all based on Leon as he is in the RE4 remake.

He's become a bit of a coffee snob. Has a high end coffee maker/espresso machine. Likes himself a macchiato. He's gotten good at making various drinks. It's relaxing to him.

Do not say 'expresso'.

Likes matcha tea as well.

Likes sushi and lots of different Asian cuisines. He’s not a picky eater, but that’s definitely his favorite. Can use chopsticks pretty well. Likes any place that makes a good burger (though he rarely indulges).

He tends to eat very healthy to keep himself in shape. You’re not going to find salty snacks or sweets in his cabinets. RE2 Leon would have had a couple, but by the time of RE4 he’s entirely cut them out.

Doesn’t eat a lot of meat. Eats a lot of vegetables. Makes sure his carb intake is proportionate. He optimized the nutrition in his diet because of course he did. Perfectionist little shit.

Plays video games to unwind. Normally if he doesn’t have other plans or work to get done. He doesn’t have the energy to put into them like he did when he was young, but its nice to have a diversion every once in a while. He’s pretty good at them from experience. Horror games don’t scare him at all.

Type of person who plans on doing an evil route on an RPG and can’t commit to it because he just can’t be mean.

Likes action movies the most, though he’s able to pick out the flaws in them. Horror movies are actually fine with him, they don’t scare him at all anymore. Ghost movies scare him a little more since there’s no logical explanation behind them.

Comedies hardly get a chuckle out of him unless they’re really absurd.

He assumes period dramas are all boring. Who wants to watch something about people 200 years ago? Ugh fine.

Cut to him being absolutely mesmerized by the dance scene in Pride and Prejudice.

Unrelated: Fuck now I’m seeing Leon approach crushes the way Mr. Darcy does lol. To be continued.~

He listens to music with sexually explicit lyrics. Something like Pony. Anybody riding passenger while his music is playing is gonna blush. He finds it amusing. Also likes edgy music; rap, hard rock, metal (mostly nu, sludge, and death metal), whatever. Grunge classics as well. Anything that helps express those angsty and horny feelings.

I present: The Leon Kennedy Shuffle (going for ‘accuracy’ with this playlist. I don’t even like all the songs on it lol)

-Closer is one of his favorite songs ever.

-Depeche Mode is a guilty pleasure.

-Had a mini crush on Dolores O’Riordan.

-Superbeast makes him feel badass.

5. Cake Mania: Lights, Camera, Action (2011)

*Previously on Cake Mania: Main St*

It’s been a while! Throughout this entire cake mania saga I’ve applied, got accepted into, and started medical school. If I’m gonna be honest, this was not even the biggest contributor as to why the Lights, Camera, Action review took forever (I’ll get into another reason later). But I finally finished, and I’m ready to review!

🄿🄻🄾🅃: Pregnancy is the milestone in Jill’s life that is the center of this next Cake Mania game. A game that represents the entirety of her pregnancy would be pretty boring (I would still play it) and at this point they can honestly tack on literally any kind of plot to go along with Jill’s pregnancy. I mean, she’s been to the moon and in Antarctica in Cake Mania 2. She’s time traveled. There are no rules to contain Jill and her journeys. This time, we are going to be dealing with..

A movie being shot in Bakersfield. Directed by...Michele Be. It is going to be a Pride and Prejudice remake with martial arts starring Tiny as Mr Darcy. It will additionally feature: explosions, aliens, a yeti monster, angry dwarves, and ninjas. It’s very lol-so-random-xD, very in-tune with the time that the game was developed and released. Bakersfield is being overrun by all kinds of interesting characters associated with the shooting of the movie. Eventually, it turns out that Michele Be is an evil fraud of a director that treats has cast and crew like dogshit. Risha is the one who saves the day and directs the movie in her own way.

This game is also repeating the set-up that Cake Mania: Main St has, which is welcome by me. Risha has ditched her stepping stone plant nursery and is now running a business that is more in line with her passions--a boutique. Since Tiny is one of the leads of the movie, we aren’t following his sushi restaurant. Now, we get to go through Giorno’s Pizzeria.

🅆🄷🄰🅃'🅂 🄽🄴🅆

No drink station: The drink station did not make a return this time around. I’m not sure why, I didn’t mind the addition of it and thought it was a nice break when things got crazy. This is just a guess on my part, but there is a new addition to the cake-making process that made its debut, and maybe they got rid of this to make room for that.

Equipment breaking: Holy SHIT this is so annoying. The first time this happened was when I finally had enough money to upgrade my snail green oven to the slightly faster purple one. Literally the worst feeling on the planet……which is a welcome addition by me. This introduces conflict that breaks the monotony of the game once you become ultra mega gold standard equipment, where the angry and/or Blue Bubble customers become a minor nuisance instead of ruining the whole level. This also does not occur randomly, as it always occurs once you finish a certain level and the opening screen for the next level is Jack admitting to causing it. Speaking of Jack...

Fruit Station: Jill cannot run around like she usually does and now has let Jack take control of operations, which was a risky move, but what business runs without risks? So while Jack is wreaking havoc around the bakery, Jill is sitting in a corner running the fruit decoration station. This game is not going to let you get away with clicking one button to add fruit to the cake, no. Instead, to add fruit to the cake you have click on the cake in a set pattern.

The equipment: There really isn’t much to say about them, just that I don’t know how I feel about the designs. They feel friendlier and more approachable, but they have less swag than the ones from Cake Mania 3 and Main St.

Here is the final set up for everything ^_^

Risha’s Boutique has a similar “fruit station” where customers can request their clothes to be put in a box with a pretty bow

Risha’s Boutique and Giorno’s Pizzeria have the same general format of the Burger Barn and Sushi Restaurant from the previous game. But let me tell y’all...I could do just about anything and beat a Cake Mania level with the superstar goal. I could move as slow as that damn green equipment and make a surplus of like $400. These two games? If I do not sit in the right position, move my arm 0.00005 m/s slower than what is ideal, and pause for 0.0007 seconds to look at the screen to figure out where to click next I am not even going to make the bare minimum goal to get to the next level. Every move has to be perfectly choreographed in order to beat the level. At least with Giorno’s Pizzeria the ingredients are splayed out so you can easily click on what you need. In Risha’s Boutique, the clothes the customers want will be the tiniest little “shirt” hidden between the jackets that are puffier than the average New Yorker’s and you will just have to angle your cursor just right to click on it. So you would think that Giorno’s Pizzeria was a breeze, huh?

Right?

Well, wrong.

Now...I pride myself on being a good Cake Mania player. I pride myself on being a tenacious one too. I am willing to play a level 60 times in a row to ensure that I do not leave the game without a 100% rate of achieving superstar goals. This time though.....I had to raise my white flag :(

Here is Level 18 of Giorno’s Pizzeria. Broke my streak and everything. This shit literally killed a large part of my soul. Had me tweaking and shaking and crying all at once. Once I hit $473 mark I just couldn’t do it anymore. I’m not sure how I pulled this off besides rapidly clicking on the TVs to keep all customers with a maximum number of hearts (thus, maximum number of tips) AND IT STILL WASN’T ENOUGH.

Level 18 is the reason why it took me so long to upload this review. This time last year, I was well on the way to finishing this game until I got to this level. I just couldn’t beat it, I would be like $20-30 off from the superstar goal most times, which is fairly significant in these two businesses, and when I was still $7 off after giving it my all I was seething. I will not bullshit y’all, the sheer butthurt I felt at not being able to achieve the superstar goal made me take a long, loooooong hiatus from finishing it. And of course, life stuff. However, towards the end of this past semester I picked the game up again, and decided to clear all my progress and restart the entire game. I still didn’t get the superstar goal on day 18 of Giorno’s Pizzeria, but I was able to get it for the rest of the levels. I’m fine with this, I guess (no I’m not).

But in all honesty, even with me being a dramatic sore loser (just guess my zodiac sign from this) one of the biggest factors I look for in these games is ways to keep it engaging and create some challenges. So I really cannot be that mad that Giorno’s Pizzeria made me work for that Superstar goal. With the cake-baking portion of the game, the monotony is inevitable even if it gets delayed with some new approaches to the recipe of the game. The kooky customers are annoying and do create troubles, but what will a Yeti that pisses everyone off really do when you have gold-standard equipment, high-speed TV, and unlimited distraction cookies? With Risha and Giorno’s games....YOU are the oven and the cake froster. Each new upgrade you get is just keeping track of more and more possibilities that customers can throw at you. Especially Giorno’s! With Risha, only the most recent clothes collections get featured while old ones are thrown out. By the end of Giorno’s Pizzeria, you will have an entire produce aisle to keep track of, the customers will want every leafy green on their pizza, AND you will have to put that shit on them in order. Your cursor will be forced to move all around the screen.

Another factor that had me seeing red during Giorno’s is that some of the dishes (like the pizza) would STILL have to bake after you compile all the ingredients

I know, strange thing to complain about, but hear me out. In all of these games, you want the customers to get their orders and gtfo as soon as possible so you can fit in the maximum # of customers and thus get the maximum number of funds. It’s why strategically upgrading equipment is so important in the cake-baking parts of these games. When it comes to Giorno’s Pizzeria, it already feels like an eternity gathering all the ingredients for an order. Longer than clicking a few buttons to make a cake. But then, on top of that for a pizza or lasagna you have to wait additional time for it to bake, and then have to wait on the damn customer to do their stupid emote before leaving!! After all of this, what do you get for an order? $40, maximum

Anyways, here are the low paying cheapskates themselves.

🄲🅄🅂🅃🄾🄼🄴🅁🅂

♥Ballerina♥

Favorite TV Show: ANTM

Omg this is so Lana Black Swan Coquette ^_^

♥Lola Fierezza♥

Favorite TV Show: World Cup

She is That Girl. Because she is That Girl, the moment she steps in and reveals her order, every other customer changes their order to match hers. The Regina George effect. There would be whole levels dedicated to her recurring appearance, and it was fun figuring out how long I should delay handing the menu to her. There is an art to it!

Farmer

Favorite TV Show: ANTM

Average Customer over the age of 50

Favorite TV Show: The Orange channel. I couldn’t think of a witty name for it so I’m just referring it by the button color on the TV

He comes in with a stank attitude, so we’re already off to a great start. It takes maybe a few seconds and then he starts swinging his axe around, which causes customers to leave. Ruining your business in the process. They should have AXED him from this game!

♥Cameraman♥

Favorite TV Show: ANTM

Before you hand him a menu, he’ll film the customers in line which will increase their hearts. I feel like something like that may produce the opposite effect, but I suppose I am living in a post-TikTok world where the sight of someone filming me without my permission would turn me into the above customer

Little Kid

Favorite TV Show: Food Network

That’s so Raven

Favorite TV Show: Food network

In a world filled with Blue Bubble Demons....the game devs decided to give us a character who is actually going to see the pearly gates. Psychic Sheila will use her crystal ball to automatically reveal the order of subsequent customers. It’s like Medieval-level power-up in Cake Mania 3, except we get an entire character who performs this task. I thank her for her service

Me in the Future if I Become a Superhero

Favorite TV Show: World Cup

Meet Super Cat Lady. She turns people into mimes. Kinda lame, would be better if she turned them into cats. Maybe that’s not actually me in the future...

Mime

Favorite TV Show: Food network

Mimes pair up together in a line.

Biblically Accurate Naruto

Favorite TV Show: ANTM

Another Blue Bubble repeat customer. Ninja does exactly what he did last time make your job harder attack people with smokebombs and make them freeze in line.

Firefighter and Stuntman

Favorite TV Shows: ANTM and Food Network

I putting these two together because it is pretty funny. This doesn’t have much consequence for the gameplay or anything, but a stuntman and firefighter being in line together causes the firefighter to hose him lmao.

Sad Sack: Chicken Edition

Favorite TV Show: Orange Channel

Only the most Noble Knight

Favorite TV Show: ANTM

He’s such a good and noble knight. Such a gentleman. He demands to be served before everyone else so that the other customers can have more time looking at the menu ♥ such admirable behavior

Yeti

Favorite TV Show: Orange Channel

He is a double whammy. Not only does he piss people off, but his ass has the nerve to freeze people so they are stuck in place. Pick *one*, jackass!

Klepto Kelly

Favorite TV Show: ANTM

You Know, she looks really nice and snazzy. Her outfit must cost a lot *and* she’s ordering expensive cake. I wonder how she makes a living? Oh yeah, she steals from you, that’s how.

Tiny: Our Leading Man!

Favorite TV Channel: Orange Channel

Another customer who helps you out instead of making you wanna tear your hair out. He orders multiple times, just like he has been doing in the past games!

Risha: Our Debut Director!

Favorite TV Channel: World Cup

Jack: The dumbfuck

He is typically an endearing Himbo, but in these games......🙄........so you already know that in Risha and Giorno’s games you need to be ON IT! Well, when he walks in, the momentum that I would build up throughout the level would be thrown off because now I would need to use my peripheral vision and WAIT on the proper item to show up in his bubble before I could hand it to him and clear out another space for a proper customer. What’s more infuriating is that in Giorno’s level he would only “order” a single ingredient so I had to expend energy looking out for him only to receive $17 in return. And YES, he appeared in Level 18. Ugh!!!

♥Jill: La Reina del pastel♥

I hope the Duolingo lessons are paying off.

Also I never figured out their favorite tv shows. Probably because I didn’t need to haha.

🄼🅈 🄾🄿🄸🄽🄸🄾🄽: I mean hey, what can I say? I can’t get too mad about them repeating a good recipe a second time in a row. I really enjoyed the Main St formatting, and think repeating it one more time to experiment with different kinds of secondary games is alongside adding more “Jill lore” is not a bad idea. Cake baking game is a classic and they basically maintained the formula that everyone knows and loves. The equipment breaking was a nice touch to create more “conflict.” Even if the secondary games (especially the damn pizzeria) made me cope and seethe, I didn’t hate them. In Main St, the Burger Barn and Sushi Restaurant were easy as shit and I beat them with very little struggle. These games, on the other hand, made me work a little bit more for the superstar goals. I don’t mind the more relaxed environment in some of Main St’s secondary games, but as I expressed many times before, I appreciate a good challenge that keeps my on my toes (disregard the long stretch of temper tantrum I had about level 18 of the pizzeria).

I give this game a ⓕⓡⓔⓢⓗ rating on the tomatometer!

Now onto the choice screenshots!

When I saw this shit, I actually keeled over. Jack predicted family vlogging in 2011.

*sighs*

I love Risha talking about “high couture” and then the collection of clothes we are introduced to look like they are from JC Penny.

Look at all of them slayinggggggg. The artstyle here is so pretty I love it.

I will not lie, there were way more screenshots I could have gotten. I couldn’t though, because for some reason this game only works in full-screen. I tried changing my desktop resolution and everything, and the game still wouldn’t budge and I had to play this game full-screen. Which meant. One screenshot per every time I had the chance to play. Let me tell you, each and every screenshot featured in this review I got was very, very strategic. I never put so much brain power in determining when I want to get a screenshot of the customers in my life.

After everything, here is my trophy room.

Well, at least it doesn’t look like I’m missing a trophy from not being able to achieve superstar goals for all the levels in Giorno’s Pizzeria!

You are a funny lil guy, the best of the best. Merry Christmas Gabe! -Darcy

When Darcy saw the shrimp friend, she instantly knew it was a perfect friend for Gabe, no reason really, she just knew. A shark plate not only for sushi but whatever other snack or meal he wanted, he could add any dip on the shark's mouth and have a fun meal. The next one was stupid, she knew but c'mon it was perfect so Gabe didn't lose his pens and it was fun! What else would he ask for? The last one, it was simple, a mug with a little surprise when he finished his coffee. It was perfect.

More information around my ocs:

Their taste in music

Darci- Vogue music, Jazz , Lofi , classical music, and soul music

Pesto - Death metal ,dad rock , Arena rock, heavy metal, and reggae

Randy - death metal, heavy metal, rock, classical rock , hip hop , and pop

Figaro- Lofi, K pop, funk ,reggae , J pop, and soul music

Their fears and/or phobias

Darci has a fear of heights (acrophobia) , frogs , and germs (germaphobia)

Randy has a fear of horses and hippopotamuses

Pesto has a fear of abandonment and snakes

And Figaro has a fear of enclosed spaces (claustrophobia) and large crowds

Headcanons:

° Compared to How Darci usually acts, like poised sophisticated and ect. ,how Darci sleeps is a lot more lazily sloppy and disheveled, they even talk in their sleep and it's usually either just nonsense that makes 0 sense or is subliminal (for example: "Eyes.... eyes everywhere, WATCHING... watching... watching our every move, move to the blind spots, where you're not detected." )

° Just like a normal cat, Darci hates water

° Randy is proned to motion sickness at some times ,especially on boats , trains ,and/or planes despite him being an adrenaline junkie

° Darci might exhibit traits consistent with a perfectionist upbringing even without full memory of their past. They might have an inclination toward precise organization, a need for cleanliness, and an attention to detail. They might also display high standards for themselves and others, often seeking excellence and feeling uncomfortable with mistakes or imperfections. These habits could manifest in their daily routines, behaviors, and interactions within the digital circus.

° The reason Randy fears hippopotamuses is because, he may not remember but waaaaay before Randy ended up in the digital circus ,he's heard of stories of what hippos did to people, but now he doesn't know why he's scared of them

° Darci was actually in a relationship with Kaufmo before Kaufmo abstracted , it was a slow burn from neutral relationship, to friends, to bestfriends, to crushes, and their to boyfriend + Partner relationship

° Randy's least favorite foods are rice, beans , mangoes , sushi , grits , one of those vegetables juices , the fat on meats ,and guacamole

° Tobias was actually a burn victim before he ended up in the digital world as Randy, he just doesn't remember

° Pesto often keeps his many many weapons, alcohol, and drugs hidden in the debts of his room

° Way before Tobias ended up in the digital realm as Randy he had seasonal/pollan allergies, now that he's in the digital circus the flowers in spring or spring in general doesn't bother him

° Darci sleeps with a mask on

° Darci's room is the most cleanest and sanitized

° Darci (while still having their usual reserved in sophisticated demeanor in tact ) would get excitable when their hyperfixation (the arts) is mentioned

° Darci's physical stims are straining their clothes, tapping their foot, and leg bouncing while their vocal stim are subtle noises like a small hum

° Waaaaay before Audrey became Darci (their current identity) in the digital world and waaaaaay before they came famous and in childhood their parents made them take karate

° Darci and Jax are frenemies , but mostly enemies. But (in the lore ) the two slowly but gradually stopped becoming enemies

° Figaro is huge on sports and his favourite sports / hobbies is hockey, football , bodybuilding ,ice hockey , and rugby

° Figaro is the calm and chill type of frat boys that's a feminist and extremely supportive

° Figaro was one of the people to help Randy and show him around when Randy first arrived in the digital circus (other than Caine and Ragatha) , Which led a slow burn relationship from Figaro and Randy becoming friends, to best friends, to crushes, and lastly to lovers/ boyfriends

° Figaro (or like his past name back in the real world: Orson) was a vegetarian and despite currently not remembering his past he's still a vegetarian

° Figaro can easily pick up Randy , but Randy can't pick up Figaro the way Figaro can pick him up with ease

° Figaro tend to have a really really hard time asking for help and even tends to always avoid his own needs to the point like if he had something important to do while injured or sick, he'd ignore it and push himself to do said task, Randy Darci and Pesto does the same thing

° Pesto has a close father and son relationship with Randy but Pesto doesn't know let alone remember why, it's like Randy subconsciously reminds Pesto, Giovanni of someone but he doesn't know who (Giovanni had a youngest son named, Damien)

° Pesto and Randy swears the most in the digital circus despite the censorship

° Pesto has a thick australian accent

° Pesto is actually the shortest in the digital circus, along with Pomni and Randy, Randy's just talker than Pomni

° Figaro is an inch taller than Randy

° Sense Tobias is transmasc, Randy may not remember why he feels this way or the explanation for it but he often feels like he's different do to feeling as if he's a person in a body that's not his

1st April

Tell us something about yourself. If you can’t think of anything, try these: What do you enjoy to do in your free time? What music or series/shows do you like? Are you happy with your current living situation/the people you live with? What’s one of your favourite foods?

Well, my name is Ezra, I’m 18.

I love to swing and listen to music. I love pretty much all music from heavy metal to classical, but my brain’s favourite song is definitely “April Rain” by Delain. Closely followed by “Speeding Cars”and “First Train Home”, both by Imogen Heap. I’ve recently had the songs “Mountains” and “Bubbles” by Biffy Clyro on repeat. My favourite TV programmes are “BBC Merlin” and “Marvel: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”. I also love the 2005 film version of “Pride and Prejudice” with Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfayden. I also like the 1995 six-episode BBC mini series version, with Colin Firth as Mr Darcy, but I haven’t watched this version as much.

I live with my parents and younger sister (two years younger). My parents are my carers and I’m happy living with them, but I will be glad to move out of our current house as it’s not very accessible (we will move once my sister finishes high school).

I love sushi (my mum’s homemade sushi specifically), cereal (I could eat it for every meal), and I’ve recently found a meal I love to eat at McDonald’s. I’ve only had it once and I’m excited to have it again.

The Darcy Family Album: Volume VIII

Eliza's suspicions are confirmed - that's a very definite pop!

Sushi is very excited at the prospect of another family member to keep his snuggle levels topped up.

And even though it's rather earlier than planned, the expectant parents are both very happy.

In the end, Lucas manages to sleep his way through the birth, but at least Charlotte is there, to remind Eliza to keep breathing.

It's a son! Hello, Lewis! (Lucas, you're looking the wrong way...)

And, a daughter! Welcome, Agnes! So, there are now two new Darcys to carry on the family line.

New grandfather Fitzwilliam swings into action. I suspect that Agnes might already be feeling the disadvantage of being second in line to the Darcy inheritance.

What, again? You were only ever planning to have one, but now you're going for three? Oh well...

Sushi greets an old friend. He's sure that it will all turn out well in the end, but at the moment, he's really not getting his full quota of attention, thanks to the two new Sim kittens.

Snuggles please!

It's time to launch these two poppets into toddlerhood.

Lewis first.

~ Scorpio 10 / 5 / 4 / 2 / 7

~ Bookworm / Perfectionist

~ OTH: Science

And then Agnes.

~ Aries 8 / 5 / 10 / 1 / 2

~ Adventurous / Grumpy

~ OTH: Games

With the arrival of second daughter (thankfully no more twins!), I suspect that Sushi might have a rather long wait until he is top cat again. Hello, Isabel! She has her grandmother Charlotte's eyes.

#sims 2 #gameplay #merybury #fitzwilliam darcy #charlotte lucas #lucas darcy #eliza bennet #lewis darcy #agnes darcy #isabel darcy #sushi darcy #darcy family

For writing I play it like a movie in my head. But one that's being spoken about as if I'm reading it, if that makes sense . Like coming up with scenarios as you go to sleep but you write it down. I don't think about it I don't know how well that would work if you're like riding a whole plot and not just some self-indulgent whatever bullshit lol

Living With The Guardians Of Arcadia A Guidebook For Dummies

(There's Also A Lot Of Rules)

Written by: Barbra Lake

1. When Krel invites you to a robot fight. DO NOT ACCEPT. I don’t care if the Gun Robot helped save the world, it’s not allowed back on earth.

2. Whenever Aja enters the room, you do not need to chant ‘we stan one Queen’. Just bowing once will suffice. (I don’t care how much you ‘simp’ for her Steve)

3. Grit-Shaka’s are not allowed in the Castle under any circumstances.

4. Douxie is not allowed to use the bow in the castle unless we are under attack.

5. Eli is NEVER allowed to drive.

Quick note that Douxie is also not allowed to drive if Eli is in the car with him.

6. Do not permit Krel to decorate for Christmas, it ended disastrously the first time.

7. Jim, Steve, and Douxie are not allowed to race on their vespas/motorcycle respectively.

8. The word ‘Crispy’ is officially banned by Tobias Domzalski.

9. Claire is not allowed to channel her inner ‘Nico Di Angelo’ and shadow travel to China. It nearly ended in World War 3.

10. Krel must go to bed after 2 days of no sleep. He surprisingly has good puppy dog eyes, DO NOT GIVE IN!

11. Jim is the only person allowed to cook inside the castle. Claire is allowed to make her signature guacamole. (Apparently Jim says that he prefers it if I don’t cook, but I think he’s being silly. I’ll let him have this one though.)

12. Aja and Claire are not allowed to ‘visit’ Area 49B.

13. No matter how ‘Glorious’ it would be Varvatos is not allowed to pilot the Castle

14. Weapon checks are necessary before leaving the castle. (I’m not bailing you out of jail for the 5th time Jim and Douxie).

15. Archie is not allowed to have Nougat Nummies.

This also includes Gummy Bears.

16. If Aja asks to hang out with Toby, Eli, or Douxie, one adult must be in the room.

17. If Steve’s solution involves fire. Do not follow his plan.

18. Do not allow Eli to talk to you about the following topics (especially if Douxie is in the room):

Mothman

Arcadia’s Freakiness

Bigfoot

Nessie

The Billy Craggle

19. On occasion Douxie will read your star sign for shits n giggles, he will read your future, please stop him before somebody realizes that they are dying young.

20. Jim and Steve are not allowed to engage in fistfights.

21. Claire is not allowed to do necromancy, it works too well.

22. Please try to convince Krel that screaming explicits when an experiment fails is not good.

23. Toby and Steve are not allowed to egg on Jim to do stupid self sacrificing things ‘for the vine’.

24. The following games are not allowed to be played on Arcadia Gang Game Night:

Monopoly: That game ruins friendships.

Truth Or Dare: I’m also not bailing Claire out of jail for the 4th time.

Pokemon: I don’t even want to know what happened that night, but I don’t want a repeat.

Go Go Sushi: AAARRRGH!!! will win. There is no sense trying.

Hide & Seek: I don’t care how well your sticky spell works, hiding on the side of the castle is prohibited Douxie.

Mario Kart: No explanation needed.

25. Toby, Claire, Jim, Steve, Eli, Mary, Darci, and Shannon are not allowed in school on Saturdays. No matter if they get detention, do not allow them in.

26. No more recreations of High School Musical.

27. Microwavable Ramen is not food, Douxie, even by me. Jim is the only one allowed to cook for a reason.

28. The plants are not allowed to be fertilized, no matter how much you think Nari’s plants need them Toby.

29. No more body swaps. It got weird fast.

30. Magnets are not allowed to be put on Jim’s armour, no matter how funny the hello kitty ones are.

31. Krel and Aja have an affinity with crabs. Do not:

Cook a live crab in front of them, they will cry.

Let them give knives to crabs.

Let them keep the crabs they find at the beach.

32. Claire is not allowed to resurrect Bular for Jim to fight when he gets bored.

33. Do not fall asleep near Steve, he will draw a mustache on you.

34. Never Gonna Give You Up is banned.

35. ‘Tight Jeans’ Hank is not allowed near the Castle.

36. There will be no smiley faces drawn on Senor Uhl’s truck

37. Claire and Douxie are not allowed to spar for the safety of the world.

38. Krel and Nari are not allowed to play around with the Earth Titan and the Gun Robot.

39. Douxie cannot wack anybody in the face with Spellcaster, even if they say ‘of course you have blue hair and pronouns’

40. The entire team is not allowed near Area 49B while No Roots is playing.

41. The words ‘Tokyo Drift’ are banned.

42. Duct Tape does not fix everything, Douxie is only allowed half a roll a day.

43. Douxie is not allowed to swindle anybody with his ‘lad of fortune trick’

That said, if it’s the Arcane Order trying to destroy the world, then it’s fine.

44. Stuart’s Taco Truck is not allowed inside the Castle.

Do not give into Steve and Toby’s begging. It will only end in chaos.

45. Blinky is not allowed near fires.

46. Heavy Metal is not to be played between 12am and 6am (some people need to sleep Krel.)

47. When Claire asks you to come ‘dressed to kill’ it can go both ways

If she says it with a neutral face then she means it figuratively

If she’s smiling the same way she did while possessed with Morgana, I suggest bringing a shovel

48. Jim has the uncanny ability to convince people of random things. No Varvatos and Zadra, the mountains are not challenging your honour. Please.

49. Don’t try to give Douxie decaf. He will glare at you ominously for months

This also applies to Krel

50. No matter how hard they beg, do not give into the children asking to play Minecraft for ‘just 5 more minutes’. It will turn into an all nighter.

51. If you see Douxie holding a deck of cards please ask the following question:

What are you doing with those cards?

If he answers by asking you to play a card game without shuffling the deck, then you are safe.

If he answers by asking you to play a card game while shuffling the deck of cards. Run.

He will slice you into two with one. The only reason Blinky isn’t dead is because he’s made of stone.

52. If you see Krel talking binary with the Blanks. Don’t ask questions. Just leave the room.

53. Do not say that penguins don’t exist. Aja will believe you.

54. Stardew Valley and Subway Surfers are on thin fucking ice.

55. Claire is not allowed to play around with Zadra’s double-ended scythe

56. Nari is not allowed to create new creatures. The Billy Craggle was bad enough.

57. Fireworks are prohibited.

58. The Skeltegs and Gnomes are not allowed to get in fist fights.

Nor is betting on fights caused by a bored Varvatos

59. Douxie must take at least 2 nights off from work per week.

60. Everytime one of the team comes in from a mission, check for injuries. The whole lot of them will hide it because of their weird self-sacrificial issues.

61. Goats are not to be seen near the castle

62. Bessie must be kept in the pen. No matter how much Steve begs for her to get fresh air.

63. Krel under no circumstances will be flying one of the boats.

He can though if we are in grave danger

Or at least 2 other adults with the ability to fly it are in his presence.

64. AAARRRGH!!!! will find ways to hide in Toby’s closet. Don’t ask, and leave him be.

65. Jim and Toby are not allowed to make Tube City for the hamsters.

66. Claire is not a good driver. No matter how hard she tries to convince you that she can drive. She CANNOT.

67. When they go undercover, please make sure the children are not wearing the following:

a CIA suit

a baseball cap with a cat wearing glasses on top

Trollhunter Armour but with sunglasses

a ski mask

Italian Plumber Outfits

68. Eli is not allowed to be on youtube for more than 2 hours. He seems to find the dark side of it quickly

69. The children prefer outdated memes. Including the one with this number.

70. Claire is not allowed to speak latin under any circumstances

71. A baseball bat is not a formidable weapon. No matter how much Jim, Eli and Steve say it is.

A quick note that Jim is not allowed to throw his sword.

72. When Toby is bored he will make random badges for small accomplishments. He just throws them on you. There is no stopping it.

73. Krel is not all-knowing, he just has a lot of information inside that brain, including a very large ego.

74. If you somehow managed to anger Douxie you will be able to find him in the following places:

The roof, he uses sticky spells to stick to the side of the wall.

Don’t scream when you see a scary broody Douxie sticking to the side of the wall. You’ll just scare him.

The vents. He’s a Clint Barton kinnie

The dungeon’s closet. I know it is filled with various creepy things. Don’t ask.

75. Aja is not allowed to drive. She will find her way into a ditch. We are not sure how she passed drivers Ed.

76. The word ‘heist’ is banned

It got out of control last time.

77. Claire somehow manages to thrive in the deorganization that is her room. I know her desk is upside down. Don’t question it.

78. If Jim tells you to avenge him, even for the smallest things. You must avenge him, or else he will cause mass chaos.

79. No mentions of the ‘Gatto Surprise’ Incident.

80. Steve, Nari was just joking (I think), Nari does not eat bugs.

81. Someone please tell Krel and Aja that the Bee Movie is inaccurate. And no, the bees do not need nectar guns.

Speaking of the Bee Movie, Toby will find weird places to hide the script. Don’t ask questions. Just ignore it.

82. Douxie will eat kit kats the wrong way just to spite you. Do not anger him.

He may brood and eat kit kats the wrong way. To avoid or find him please see #74

83. Eli will look into the camera like the office, or stare to the side and say nonchalantly: ‘this is it narrator, this is my villain origin story.’

84. If Douxie says he’s going to ‘shoot the shit’, he means it literally, despite the ‘no bow in castle’ rule, he will go down to the training room and shoot at photos of people that annoy him.

85. The only take-out Jim will eat is Thai.

86. Douxie will not sleep until he collapses. Make sure that he sleeps every night.

87. There is a whole closet filled with VHS tapes. Don’t ask, AAARRRGH!!! likes them.

88. Don’t question the Gnome with the doll and peanut children.

89. Jim looks like a sweetheart. He can and will destroy you, with a sword or sass.

90. No rewriting Romeo and Juliet then acting it out ‘just for funsies’ the car chase was something else.

91. Don’t ever shout ‘rule number 3!’ in front of Jim. It ends badly.

92. The children will complain about the roaming charges while they travel around the world. It’s an inside joke that few understand.

93. Claire and Toby will talk about the ‘boneless gag’. Don’t ask what those two came up with.

94. Jim will randomly start speaking Spanish when he’s with Claire. Yes, it’s bad, no don’t tell him it’s bad.

95. There is a random army of goblins with a raccoon that will show up and bug Jim. Weirdly they listen to him

96. Blinky is not allowed near explosives.

97. Steve’s ringtone is actually ‘Buttsnack’ repeated over and over again. Don’t ask questions.

98. Don’t even try talking about the ‘bad coffee’ incident.

99. Nana will knock out police officers with a shovel. We try not to worry about it.

100. Bessie the cow is on thin ice with the farming game

Self care story of the day (loosely based on true events):

"You set one muddy fucking shoe in this kitchen, and I will break your fucking dick."

Bucky didn't even look up from the grout he was scouring to issue the threat to Steve, who was just coming in from the backyard.

One foot still hovering in the air, Steve easily turned on his planted heel, back out the door, and around the front of the house, sending a quick text to Nat and Sam; Bleach Alert.

Bucky was stress cleaning again.

Thankfully, as college and their relationship were mellowing, Bleach Alerts had become fewer and fewer. Bucky's stress levels had lowered, his anxiety was more under control, and he was finally comfortable enough to lean on Steve and talk to him when things were getting tough.

But they still happened, from time to time.

Steve was silent as he eased the front door open just enough to grab his keys, although he doubted he needed to be: Bucky had had his headphones on over the bandanna tied around his hair, but better safe than sorry.

The drive to Nat's place was quiet and quick, Steve chewing on the inside of his lip as he remembered how red Bucky's face was while he was scrubbing, and how damp his bandanna already had been. He allowed himself a brief stab of guilt for not noticing the indicators in his lover, but refused to let himself wallow.

Nat was already waiting for him on the sidewalk in front of her apartment when he pulled up, setting a small paper bag on the passenger seat through the window.

"Tell him to text me once he's level," she said, popping her gum. "We're due for a mani-pedi session at Darcy's anyways."

"I will," Steve promised, holding out a small wad of folded bills. Natasha took it without blinking; she was a college student, Steve could afford it, and a new Italian joint had just opened up down the street that she wanted to try. She was walking towards it as Steve pulled back into traffic.

Sam was also waiting on the curb as Steve slowed to a stop in front of his house. Steve quickly shifted the bag Nat had given him to the backseat, a rush of lavender, vanilla, and tangerine tickling his nose at the motion.

"They didn't have the Spicy Tuna rolls," Sam said as he settled a plastic bag full of food containers on the passenger seat, "but they had Dragon rolls, and I got you the variety Rainbow rolls. And I threw in some cinnamon rolls I made this morning, icing on the side."

Steve leaned over to clasp Sam's hand in gratitude, "I seriously owe you. Bucky and I will come visit soon, okay? Or we'll take you out to dinner. Something."

"Just let me know when he's alright. And ask him to make me those rum ball things. Need my fix, man."

Steve laughed and nodded. "You got it. Take care, Sam."

"You, too, Rogers."

Steve broke a few speed limits getting home, but leaving Bucky alone while he was like this set his teeth on edge, no matter how necessary it was.

Once again, he entered the house silently, clutching his acquisitions to his chest as he toed off his shoes. The house smelled of bleach, lemon pledge, and lilac carpet deodorizing powder. Bucky had been busy.

The sound of an aerosol can could be heard from Steve's home office, so Steve quickly snuck past and up the stairs. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the master bathroom hadn't been scrubbed yet; there were still toothpaste speckles on the mirror, water marks on the faucets, and the chrome pieces of the bathtub and shower didn't have that blinding shine.

He quickly began setting everything up. Lavender bubble bath for tub, vanilla whipped lotion, and little sugar and tangerine candles on the countertops and bath rim. The sushi was carefully floated in a sink full of cold water and the cinnamon rolls were set aside for later. Steve then stripped down to his boxers and headed back downstairs.

Now came the hard part.

Breaking Bucky out of his cycle was never easy, and never pretty. Steve'd had to call Nat the first time it happened at his house, and had to physically step away as things got heated between the two, words ripping and snapping and cutting back and forth as Natasha got James angry enough to forget he was bottling everything up and screaming his problems at the top of his lungs.

Bucky's guilt hadn't abated for three days.

Now, Steve could never do that. Felt sick at the very thought. He never wanted to make Bucky upset or angry for any reason. Would rather cut of his own arm.

So he figured out his own way.

Bucky was still in Steve’s office, wiping down the bookshelves with a rag that smelled of lemon and chemicals. Steve didn't stop walking, even as he took in the sweat soaked tank-top, the lank hair, and chemically chapped hands.

He merely grabbed Bucky's shoulder, spun him around, and muffled any and all complaints with a devouring kiss.

He never broke the kiss as he shoved the headphones and bandanna off Bucky's head, untied the drawstring of his sweatpants, and hefted the smaller man into his arms, turning and quickly making his way back upstairs.

Bucky tried to turn away from the kiss, tried to struggle out of Steve's arms, muffled noises of anger bursting out his nose. His fists thumped in Steve's shoulders, but as soon as the blond started up the stairs, he quieted, not wanting to actually cause either of them to fall.

But he didn't actually quit fighting until the gentle scents of the candles and bubble bath reached him. All at once, he went limp in Steve's arms, breath starting to grow unsteady. He knew what those smells meant.

"I don't wanna hear you say you're sorry," Steve murmured into his sweaty hair. "I wanna hear what's bothering you, and if you need my help in fixing any of it. Okay?"

Bucky's voice was soft and broken, "Yes, Daddy."

Over then next hour and a half, Bucky spoke of the issues with his thesis, the health scare his toddler nephew had gone through, dealing with apathetic professors, not being able to find time to hang out with his friends, missing his parents, and other small complaints and problems that just made the big ones seem all that much bigger.

And Steve listened. As he washed Bucky's hair, rubbed lotion into his chapped hands, fed him sushi, and cradled him in his arms as the floral bathwater encompassed them, he listened, and spoke when asked, and held his boy close.

Afterwards, as they ate warm cinnamon rolls while wearing fluffy bathrobes in the middle of their unmade bed, they came up with solutions and plans and compromises.

As the last crumbs were brushed away, they wrapped around each other, kisses tasting like icing and souls feeling scoured clean. It stung a little, yes, but it was a good sensation.

"Thank you," Bucky whispered into the hollow of Steve's throat.

Steve just pressed his lips to the top of Bucky's head and held him tighter.

When they finally got up, the scent of bleach had long faded away.
